[00:02] (Flashback) Hik
    Hey, Mom...
[00:04] (Flashback) Hik
    Does this mean I won't
    get to see Papa anymore?
[00:07] (Flashback) Mom
    No.
[00:08] (Flashback) Mom
    You won't see him every day,
    but you'll see him every now and then.
[00:12] (Flashback) Hik
    "Every now and then..."
[00:14] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm sorry, Hikaru.
[00:16] (Flashback) Mom
    But your father and I discussed it
    and we decided to do it this way,
[00:19] (Flashback) Mom
    so that you don't get lonely.
[00:22] (Flashback) Hik
    Mom?
[00:23] (Flashback) Mom
    Yes?
[00:24] (Flashback) Hik
    You remember how you said I could
    either keep my current surname, Satou,
[00:29] (Flashback) Hik
    or change it to Sakaguchi instead?
[00:33] (Flashback) Hik
    Would it be okay if I kept
    my name as Satou Hikaru?
[00:37] (Flashback) Mom
    Huh?
[00:38] (Flashback) Hik
    I mean, Papa's the one
    who's gonna be all alone.
[00:41] (Flashback) Hik
    That's so sad.
[00:43] (Flashback) Hik
    I want to show he was part of our family,
    even if it's only by keeping his name.
[00:49] (Flashback) Hik
    That way, I'll also never forget
    that I am my father's son.
[00:56] (Flashback) Hik
    Never, ever.
[01:09] Hik
    This room's so bright.
[01:12] Hik
    I'll have to ask for some curtains.
SIGN    Sakaguchi
[01:15] Hik
    I'm digging in!
[01:17] Grd
    Ah, you have quite an appetite today!
[01:20] Hik
    Yes, I'm famished because
    I didn't finish my dinner last night.
[01:24] Grd
    Ha, I see. If you want,
    you can have mine, too.
[01:27] Hik
    What? Really?
[01:29] Hik
    Lucky!
[01:36] Hik
    I'm off!
[01:38] Mom
    Have a good day.
[01:39] Grd
    Take care out there.
[01:40] Hik
    I will!
[01:45] Grd
    Hikaru's really perked up.
[01:48] Grd
    He even wolfed down his breakfast today.
[01:54] Hik
    I can't keep being all gloomy around them.
[01:57] Hik
    Mom's got enough to worry about with
    the housework and looking after Grandma.
[02:02] Hik
    I have to hurry up and
    get used to my new life here.

[03:41] Kid
    Hey...
[03:43] Kid
    Is it true that your dad is Satou Toshiya,
    the former major leaguer?
[03:48] Hik
    Yeah, it's true.
[03:50] Kid2
    That's amazing! Then, that means
    you must be good at baseball, too, right?
[03:55] Kid
    Are you going to join our local team?
[03:57] Hik
    Nah, not planning on it.
[03:59] Kid2
    What? Why not?
[04:00] Hik
    I'm just not that into baseball.
[04:03] Kid
    Then, wanna join the soccer team?
[04:05] Kid
    No, you have to join it!
[04:06] Kid
    You'd be a regular from day one!
[04:09] Hik
    I'm sorry. That kind of thing just
    doesn't excite me right now.
[04:13] Kid
    Oh... I see.
[04:16] Ki2
    Oh, can we use the school yard today?
[04:27] Run
    All right!
[04:28] Fir
    Second, what are you playing at?
[04:30] Fir
    The tournament's just round the corner!
[04:32] Sec
    S-Sorry.
[05:37] Hik
    All right.
[05:38] Hik
    I'm home!
[05:41] Gra
    How's it going, Hikaru?
    You making new friends?
[05:44] Hik
    Yeah, slowly but surely.
[05:47] Hik
    But everyone keeps asking
    what was cool in Kanagawa.
[05:50] Hik
    I can't answer that,
    because I was only there for three weeks.
[05:54] Gra
    I see.
[05:55] Hik
    But I think it'll all work out just fine.
[05:57] Hik
    The school yard's bigger than
    it was in my last school,
[05:59] Hik
    and my teacher has a funny side.
[06:02] Gra
    Oh-ho, that's good.
[06:04] Hik
    Thanks for the food! It was yummy!
[06:06] Mom
    What about your bath?
    Do you want to take one now?
[06:09] Hik
    I'll take one when I've finished my homework.
[06:12] Mom
    I see.
[06:16] Gran
    There's no need to worry
    when he's that upbeat.
[06:18] Gran
    He'll get used to his new situation soon.
[06:20] Mom
    Yeah...
[06:34] Hik
    I have to hurry up and forget it all.
[06:36] Hik
    I can't go back to Kanagawa.
[06:42] Hik
    It's going to be okay. I'll get by just fine.
[06:45] Hik
    I've managed fine up to this point.
[06:48] (Flashback) Tosh
    There!
[06:50] (Flashback) Hik
    Hey, Papa, can I become
    a baseball player, just like you?
[06:53] (Flashback) Tos
    Of course you can. I'm a champion!
[06:57] (Flashback) Mom
    All right, you two, look this way!
[06:59] (Flashback) Tos
    Champion!
[07:02] (Flashback) Hik
    Papa, why are you going to live
    in a different house?
[07:06] (Flashback) Hik
    When will I see you next?
[07:08] (Flashback) Tos
    Maybe next month.
[07:10] (Flashback) Tos
    I'm sorry, Hikaru.
[07:12] (Flashback) Hik
    Okay.
[07:13] (Flashback) Tos
    Take care of your mother, you hear?
[07:15] (Flashback) Hik
    Okay.
[07:31] (Flashback) Mom
    Hey, Hikaru.
[07:32] (Flashback) Mom
    If you want to play baseball...
[07:35] (Flashback) Hik
    I don't.
[07:36] (Flashback) Hik
    Soccer and basketball are way more fun,
    so it doesn't interest me at all.
[07:42] (Flashback) Tos
    Where do you want to go today?
[07:44] (Flashback) Hik
    Hmm, I don't know.
[07:47] (Flashback) Tos
    If you want, we can go play catch.
[07:50] (Flashback) Tos
    Nothing wrong with
    working up a sweat, right?
[07:54] (Flashback) Hik
    Uh, there's actually a movie
    I'd like to see, instead.
[07:58] (Flashback) Tos
    Oh, okay.
[08:07] (Flashback) Mom
    Baseball?
[08:09] (Flashback) Hik
    Yep. Just so I can say I've done it
    before I get to middle school.
[08:12] (Flashback) Hik
    In Japan, you only get to
    join one team, right?
[08:16] (Flashback) Hik
    If I never play baseball,
    it will stick out like a sore thumb.
[08:20] (Flashback) Hik
    I'm just trying it out, you know?
[08:27] Hik
    I have to do my homework.
[08:32] And
    Nice ball.
[08:35] Ura
    Next, low and away.
[08:36] Amd
    Nah, let's leave it there for today.
[08:40] Amd
    We still need to practice our trump card.
[08:43] Ura
    What? O-Our trump card?
[08:45] Ura
    You seriously want to pull that out?!
[08:47] And
    Of course!
[08:49] And
    You wanna lose or what?
[08:51] And
    We need to do everything we can to win.
[08:55] Ura
    All right, fine.

[09:03] Tos
    Okay. You're getting quite good.
[09:06] Tos
    Your form still needs a lot of work,
    but you're making much better contact now.
[09:10] Dai
    Ah... My form still needs a lot of work, huh?
[09:14] Tos
    Of course.
[09:15] Tos
    You can't find an ideal form
     that suits you perfectly overnight.
[09:21] Tos
    Anyway, for your match this weekend,
    the important thing is to make contact.
[09:26] Tos
    Don't sweat the small stuff, like form.
    Just focus on getting bat on ball.
[09:31] Both
    Yes, sir!
[09:32] Both
    All right. That concludes my
    coaching sessions with you guys.
[09:36] Dai
    What?
[09:37] Mut
    No way! I wanted to learn
    so much more from you.
[09:41] Mut
    I've taught you the basics, so you'll be fine.
[09:44] Mut
    From now until match day,
    prepare by going back over all our lessons.
[09:48] Mut
    If I can fit it into my schedule,
    I'll come by on Sunday to cheer you on.
[09:52] Mut
    Good luck, you two!
[09:55] Both
    Thank you very much!
[09:59] Dai
    I think I'll hit a few more balls.
[10:01] Mut
    Then, I'll do the same!
[10:04] Dai
    Huh?
[10:04] Dai
    Aw man, I wanted to train by myself.
[10:17] Tos
    Hello? Yeah, it's been a while.
[10:20] Tos
    Hikaru did what?
[10:22] Tos
    Right.
[10:23] Tos
    Okay. Sure.
[10:25] Tos
    I understand. Later.
[10:31] Tos
    I apologize for calling you out of the blue.
[10:35] Tos
    Am I speaking to the manager of
    the Mifune Dolphins, Tashiro-san?
[10:42] Tos
    My name is Satou Toshiya.
[11:03] Kid
    We're going to be late for swimming.
[11:05] Kid
    We'll get in trouble!
[11:17] Hik
    Papa!
[11:18] Hik
    Wh-What's going on?
[11:20] Hik
    What's brought you out to Gunma?
[11:22] Hik
    I wanted to come talk to you.
[11:24] Hik
    Huh? Y-You can't.
[11:26] Hik
    If Mom finds out that
    the two of us met, she'll—
[11:29] Tos
    It's fine.
[11:31] Tos
    It was your mother who asked me to come here.
[11:33] Tos
    She told me you'd been down in
    the dumps ever since you got here.
[11:38] Hik
    Who, me? That's not true...
[11:41] Hik
    Hikaru. Why don't we go for a drive?
[11:54] Dai
    I'm home!
[11:57] Kao
    Daigo!
[11:59] Kao
    Perfect!
[12:01] Kao
    Can you go to Izumi's school
    real quick for me?
[12:03] Dai
    Huh? Why?
[12:05] Kao
    I just got a text from her.
[12:07] Kao
    Her baseball team has
    a training match after school,
[12:10] Kao
    but she forgot her cleats, so she
    asked me to take them to her.
[12:13] Dai
    What?
[12:14] Dai
    No way. I was just about to
    head down to the batting center.
[12:18] Dai
    And it was you she asked, not me.
[12:20] Kao
    Pretty please.
[12:21] Kao
    I have to go to the post office.
[12:27] Izu
    Thank god you made it in time.
[12:30] Izu
    I wasn't expecting you! Thanks!
[12:33] Dai
    You'd better treat me for this.
[12:34] Izu
    Sure, sure, at some point.
[12:36] Dai
    Jeez...
[12:38] Izu
    You're free right now, right? You can
    watch our match from the sidelines.
[12:41] Dai
    Huh? I do have stuff to do, actually!
[12:44] Dai
    I was about to head down
    to the batting center.
[12:47] Izu
    Huh...
[12:48] Izu
    Well, it's no skin off my nose,
[12:50] Izu
    but I figured it'd be useful to watch
    a higher league match, you know?
[12:54] Izu
    Observing is training, too.
[12:57] All
    Thank you!
[12:58] Dai
    "Higher league," my ass.
    Who does she think she is?
[13:01] Dai
    It's just a training match.
[13:04] Guy
    Play ball!
[13:09] Guy
    Strike!
[13:15] Guy
    Ball!
[13:17] Guy
    Foul!
[13:31] Guy
    Strike three! Yer out!
[13:34] Catch
    Nice pitch!
[13:38] Dai
    She's rubbing it in.
[13:41] Guy
    Strike!
[13:43] Dai
    Yeah, yeah. I was supposed to be
    a pitcher in the same vein, too.
[13:49] Kid
    Izumi, nice pitching!
[13:51] Ki2
    That's Shigeno Goro's DNA for ya!
[13:54] Dai
    Shut up! Excuse me for
    getting the crappy genes!
[14:02] Guy
    Out!
[14:03] Cat
    Two outs!
[14:06] Dai
    I guess a catcher has to
    keep talking to his team.
[14:11] Tan
    I'm sorry.
[14:16] Dai
    That scared me.
[14:22] Tos
    So how is it here?
[14:24] Tos
    Have you made any friends?
[14:26] Hik
    W-Well, not really.
[14:29] Tos
    I see.
[14:31] Hik
    Why did Mom say I was down in the dumps?
[14:34] Hik
    I didn't think I looked down at all.
[14:36] Tos
    Because she's your parent.
[14:38] Hik
    Huh?
[14:39] Tos
    Parents are always
    watching their children.
[14:42] Tos
    They can tell.
[14:46] Tos
    I think I told you this before,
[14:49] Tos
    but from about your age now,
[14:52] Tos
    I started living with my grandparents
    instead of my parents.
[14:57] Tos
    For me, my grandma and
    grandpa were my parents.
[15:01] Tos
    Middle school graduation was coming up,
[15:03] Tos
    and I didn't know which
    high school I wanted to go to.
[15:06] Tos
    If I went to this one private school,
    known for its baseball expertise,
[15:10] Tos
    it would put a strain on my grandparents,
    who were on the breadline.
[15:14] Tos
    That's why I thought I'd give up
    on that idea without telling them.
[15:18] (Flashback) Gra
    So, Toshiya, have you decided which
    high school you want to go to?
[15:25] (Flashback) Tos
    Yeah.
[15:26] (Flashback) Tos
    I'm going to follow the crowd
    and go to Mifune.
[15:29] (Flashback) Tos
    Mifune? Are you sure?
[15:32] (Flashback) Tos
    You could go to a school
    with a stronger baseball team.
[15:36] (Flashback) Tos
    You're overestimating my abilities.
[15:38] (Flashback) Tos
    Mifune's fine, really.
[15:41] (Flashback) Tos
    My friends are all going there, too.

    Why?

    Why are you holding back for our sake?
[16:02] (Flashback) Gra
    Is it because we're useless old fogies?
[16:04] (Flashback) Gra
    Or is it just because
    we're not your real parents?
[16:08] (Flashback) Tos
    Grandpa...
[16:09] (Flashback) Grm
    Darling, I'm sure Toshiya didn't mean to—
[16:13] (Flashback) Gra
    It's okay to be selfish!
[16:15] (Flashback) Gra
    Kids are supposed to fight their parents
    over the path they want to take in life!

    Go to Kaidou!
[16:23] (Flashback) Gra
    You have a friend who cares
    a lot about you and about baseball, too.
[16:29] (Flashback) Gra
    Go to Kaidou with him.
[16:32] (Flashback) Grm
    You don't have to worry
    about how we'll fund it.
[16:35] (Flashback) Grm
    Money pales in comparison to your dreams.
[16:42] (Flashback) Tos
    Thank you, Grandpa, Grandma.
[16:49] Tos
    When it's for your kids, you want to help
    as much as possible, whatever it is.
[16:54] Tos
    That's what parents are like.
[16:56] Tos
    I bet your mom figured out you were sad
    because she's always watching out for you.
[17:09] Tos
    Yup, here's good. We'll play here.
[17:11] Hik
    Huh? Play what?
[17:17] Tos
    Catch, of course.
[17:19] Tos
    We haven't played in ages.
[17:33] Guy
    Ball four!
[17:36] Dai
    One out, runners on first and second.
[17:38] Dai
    I guess even she gets tired...
[17:47] Cat
    To first!
[17:54] Guy
    Safe!
[18:00] Dai
    Yikes. They pulled one back and have
    runners on second and third with one out.
[18:06] Dai
    If I messed up and put my team
    in danger of giving up the lead,
[18:08] Dai
    I'd want to run away screaming.
[18:11] Izu
    I'm sorry.
[18:12] Cat
    Don't worry about it.
    Don't let it get to you.
[18:14] Cat
    Put it behind you!
[18:16] Izu
    Right.
[18:19] Guy
    Play!
[18:20] Dai
    They can't walk him to load the bases.
    The next batter got a hit earlier.
[18:26] Guy
    Ball!
[18:28] Dai
    Crap.
[18:29] Dai
    All I'm seeing is nightmare scenarios.
[18:44] Dai
    To third!
[18:47] Guy
    Out!
[18:49] Dai
    N-No way.
[18:51] Dai
    How is she so composed?!
[18:53] Dai
    That's impossible.
[18:54] Dai
    Her heart must be all moldy
    if it doesn't skip a beat with that!
[18:58] Cat
    Nice one, Izumi!
[19:01] Dai
    "Observing is training, too," huh?
[19:11] Tos
    So, Hikaru, are you planning on
    joining a baseball team here?
[19:16] Hik
    No. I'm sure every team's busy
    preparing for the summer tournament.
[19:20] Hik
    So joining a team this late makes no sense.
[19:23] Hik
    So you'll pick it up in middle school, then?
[19:26] Hik
    Daigo-kun told me you'd
     written in your letter
[19:29] Hik
    that you want to form
    a battery with him one day.
[19:32] Hik
    I wasn't being serious about that.
[19:35] Hik
    I only wrote it because it sounded good.
[19:38] Hik
    I'm not playing baseball ever again.
[19:40] ---
    You...
[19:43] Tos
    Are you saying you lied to Daigo-kun?
[19:44] Hik
    That's right!
[19:46] Hik
    I mean, he's in Kanagawa and I'm in Gunma,
    so we'll never see each other again!
[19:50] Hik
    It's nearly impossible for us
    to play baseball together!
[19:54] Hik
    I actually... I actually want to...
[20:00] Hik
    But whatever. There's nothing I can do.
[20:06] Tos
    Hikaru.
[20:08] Tos
    Throw the ball.
[20:10] Hik
    Huh?
[20:11] Tos
    You've been practicing, right?
[20:13] Tos
    Let me see your pitch.
[20:22] Tos
    Another one.
[20:27] Tos
    Is this the pitch you wanted
    Daigo-kun to catch?
[20:43] Tos
    That was a good pitch.
[20:45] Tos
    Have you been practicing every day
    over here as well?
[20:49] Tos
    You want to play baseball, right?
[21:00] Hik
    I do...
[21:02] Hik
    In reality, I wanted to keep playing
    baseball with Daigo-kun and everyone else.
[21:06] Hik
    I had just started to love baseball!
[21:09] Hik
    If only I hadn't had to move!
[21:11] Hik
    If only I hadn't had to move...
[21:18] Tos
    I'm sorry, Hikaru.
[21:19] Tos
    Your mother and I ended up
    forcing you to sacrifice for us.
[21:25] Tos
    "I want to play baseball."
[21:27] Tos
    You weren't even able to utter
    that in earnest until now, huh?
[21:34] Tos
    But it's all right now.
[21:35] Tos
    You should be honest and
    do what you want to do.
[21:40] Tos
    If it's something you want to do,
    both your mom and I will support it.
[21:44] Tos
    That's what we decided.
[21:46] Hik
    But...
[21:48] Tos
    I was relieved to hear
    you hadn't joined a team here yet.
[21:52] Tos
    Before I came over,
[21:54] Tos
    I called the Dolphins' manager,
    Tashiro, to confirm something.
[21:57] Hik
    Confirm what?
[21:58] Tos
    That you're still registered as part
    of their team for the tournament.
[22:03] Tos
    According to the rules,
[22:06] Tos
    you can play in the matches as a member
    of the Dolphins, no matter where you live.
[22:10] Tos
