[01:58] KIRYU
    Good evening. I'm Kiryu Daisuke.
[02:00] SUIREN
    And I'm Koshu Suiren.
[02:02] KIRYU
    Twilight Sports Information Network's
    SpoLuna has another packed show for you.
[02:07] SUIREN
    Today, announcer Tsukuda
    is busy with school—
[02:15] TSUKUDA
    Uh, I'm sorry.
[02:18] TSUKUDA
    I'm late because I fell
    asleep on the Yurikamone.
[02:22] TSUKUDA
    I'm high school announcer Tsukuda Mina.
[02:24] SUINRE
    Either way, since Tsukuda has slid in,
    we have our regular lineup tonight.
SIGN    #03 The Promised Dirty Pitch
[02:35] NAKORU
    Onii-chan. Hey, onii-chan.
[02:41] NAKORU
    Oh, come on.
[02:43] NAKORU
    Wake up.
[02:47] KANJI
    What do you want, Nakoru?
[02:50] NAKORU
    You stink. Come on, get undressed.
[02:54] NAKORU
    We gotta put these in the wash.
[02:56] KANJI
    Shut up. I'm tired from practice.
[02:59] NAKORU
    Well, I'm tried from cheerleading. Come on.
[03:03] KANJI
    Quit it! I'll do it myself.
[03:05] SUIREN
    Next up is Tsukuda's three-minute segment.
[03:07] TSUKUDA
    Thank you. In this episode, I'll
    be covering the figure skating
[03:08] NAKORU
    It's Tsukuda-senpai.
[03:11] NAKORU
    I can't believe she really became
    an announcer. It's amazing.
[03:11] TSUKUDA
    tournament that took place
    in Alaska the other day.
[03:17] NAKORU
    What's the matter?
[03:20] NAKORU
    What's your problem?
[03:23] KANJI
    I thought you were gonna wash them.
[03:24] NAKORU
    What?
[03:26] AD SUZUKI
    Three...
[03:30] KIRYU
    High school baseball summer regional
    qualifiers are starting up.
[03:35] SUIREN
    Here at SpoLuna, high school announcer Tsukuda
    will be reporting on them as one of their peers.
[03:42] SUIREN
    Good luck.
[03:43] TSUKUDA
    Thank you.
[03:44] TSUKUDA
    I'll be doing my best, so good luck to all
    you high school baseball players out there.
[03:52] KIRYU
    You're working so hard you fall
    asleep from the exhaustion.
[03:55] TSUKUDA
    I'm sorry. I'll be careful from now on.
[04:00] SUIREN
    Kiryu-san, don't tease her.
[04:04] KIRYU
    Tsukuda Mina and her charming rabbit-like
    bedhead will be covering the qualifiers.
[04:09] KIRYU
    You won't want to miss it.
[04:11] TSUKUDA
    Thank you.
[04:15] KATO D
    She's always screwing
    up the schedule and set.
[04:19] AD SUZUKI
    Now, now. She does good numbers.
[04:22] AD SUZUKI
    Maybe being a student and
    announcer is tough after all.
[04:26] KATO D
    Well, she's failing at both.
[04:28] KATO D
    She just lacks self-awareness
    as a professional.
[04:30] ONOUE
    I don't see the problem.
[04:32] BOTH
    Onoue-san?
[04:34] ONOUE
    A hardworking and ordinary
    unprofessional high school girl
[04:37] ONOUE
    is receiving passionate
    support from our viewers,
[04:41] ONOUE
    just like those high school baseball
    players in the middle of summer.
[04:46] BOTH
    I see...
[04:50] CATCHER
    Nice pitch, Kanji.
[04:57] TSUKUDA
    I just finished my extra classes.
    I'll head over right away.
[05:02] MOCHIMURA
    Done with... extra classes...?
[05:03] TSUKUDA
    Mocchin, I'm sorry.
[05:06] MOCHIMURA
    She seems busy as usual.
[05:12] TSUKUDA
    If I don't hurry, I'll
    be late to the interview.
[05:16] NAKORU
    You can do it, Kanji!
[05:30] NAKORU
    Tsukuda-senpai.
[05:31] TSUKUDA
    Nako?
[05:32] NAOKUR
    Tsukuda-senpai, it's good to see you again.
[05:37] TSUKUDA
    I see. You started middle
    school this year, right?
[05:41] TSUKUDA
    I hardly recognize you.
[05:42] NAKORU
    I picked up cheerleading
    to cheer for my brother.
[05:47] NAKORU
    I'm about to go watch him practice.
[05:49] NAKORU
    Let's go together.
[05:51] TSUKUDA
    Yeah, let's.
[05:53] TSUKUDA
    Oh, sorry. I actually have an interview now.
[05:57] TSUKUDA
    Listen up, Nako. Give Kanji
    a stern talking to for me.
[06:00] TSUKUDA
    He needs to shape up.
[06:03] NAKORU
    What? Don't you know?
[06:06] NAKORU
    He's currently the school's star player.
[06:10] NAKORU
    She's not listening.
[06:13] NAKORU
    Seems like she's busy, too.
SIGN    High School Announcer
    Tsukuda Mina
    is Adorable!
[06:17] MOCHIMURA
    "The clumsy announcer shows up
    late because she fell asleep."
[06:20] MOCHIMURA
    "Tsukuda's 'good luck' was so cute."
[06:22] MOCHIMURA
    "Oh, yeah. Mina-tan's bedhead."
[06:25] MOCHIMURA
    These comments are all about Mina.
[06:29] YOSHIMI
    Amazing, right?
[06:30] YOSHIMI
    I got a bunch of hits the other
    day because she overslept.
[06:34] MOCHIMURA
    I'm not sure she'd appreciate
    these comments if she saw them.
[06:38] YOSHIMI
    Where is she, anyway?
[06:40] YOSHIMI
    I came so I could show them to her.
[06:43] MOCHIMURA
    I don't know.
[06:44] MOCHIMURA
    Lately, she's been dashing off
    somewhere after class every day.
[06:47] STUDENT 1
    What's going on?
[06:48] STUDENT 2
    It's a TV crew.
[06:57] MOCHIMURA
    Oh, it's Mina.
[06:58] YOSHIMI
    No way!
[07:00] TSUKUDA
    Huh? Why did we come back to school?
[07:04] AD SUZUKI
    What? Tsukishima Academy is your high school?
[07:08] TSUKUDA
    Are we covering our baseball team today?
[07:18] KANJI
    What's going on?
[07:23] KANJI
    Tsukuda?
[07:25] NAKORU
    Tsukuda-senpai?
[07:28] PLAYER 1
    Apparently, SpoLuna's here to cover us.
[07:31] KANJI
    What?
[07:32] MOCHIMURA
    Mina.
[07:36] MOCHIMURA
    Hey.
[07:37] TSUKUDA
    Oh, Mocchin and Yoshimi-kun.
[07:40] YOSHIMI
    You're in a SpoLuna jacket?
    That's super rare!
[07:44] TSUKUDA
    Sorry about earlier.
[07:46] MOCHIMURA
    It's fine, but why did
    you come back to school?
[07:51] TSUKUDA
    Well, you see...
[07:53] AD SUZUKI
    Come on! We don't have much time!
[07:56] YOSHIMI
    Tsukuda is amazing in person.
[07:58] MOCHIMURA
    She seems busy.
[08:02] AD SUZUKI
    Anyway, Tsukuda-chan, could
    you interview the star player?
[08:06] TSUKUDA
    Okay.
[08:08] TSUKUDA
    Kanji, when did you become the star player?
[08:12] AD SUZUKI
    Tsukuda-chan, you and the baseball
    team's star player are friends?
[08:17] TSUKUDA
    We're less childhood friends and
[08:20] Tsukuda
    more like fated rivals.
[08:24] TSUKUDA
    Right, Kanji?
[08:29] AD SUZUKI
    Fated rivals, huh?
[08:32] AD SUZUKI
    Either way, high school announcer
    interviews childhood
[08:35] AD SHUZUKI
    friend and star player going up against
    the tournament favorite powerhouse.
[08:40] AD SUZUKI
    Yeah, that's perfect.
[08:44] AD SUZUKI
    Here we go, Tsukuda-chan.
[08:51] TSUKUDA
    I'm currently with the Tsukishima
    Academy High School baseball team.
[08:55] TSUKUDA
    This is actually the high
    school I'm attending.
SIGN    Tsukuda
SIGN    Welcome Tsukuda Mina
[09:01] TSUKUDA
    Now let's interview star player Hazemi Kanji.
[09:05] TSUKUDA
    Hazemi, the regional qualifier is coming up.
[09:08] TSUKUDA
    How do you feel?
[09:10] TSUKUDA
    Huh? Hazemi...
[09:13] TSUKUDA
    I didn't get to interview him.
[09:27] NAKORU
    Onii-chan.
[09:29] NAKORU
    Why are you ignoring Tsukuda-senpai?
[09:31] NAKORU
    She came to support you.
[09:37] KANJI
    She's changed.
[09:39] NAKORU
    What?
[09:40] KANJI
    She's deep into TV now, and
    everyone's fussing over her.
[09:43] NAKORU
    But... she hasn't changed at all.
[09:47] KANJI
    She's changed.
[09:49] KANJI
    Work is more important to her than us now.
[10:02] TSUKUDA
    I wonder what happened to Kanji.
[10:04] TSUKUDA
    Did I say something to upset him?
[10:10] TSUKUDA
    I screwed up again.
[10:13] BABY
    I have urgent news.
[10:16] TSUKUDA
    Why do you have to show up here?
[10:19] BABY
    The Rabbit Force radar just detected
    a new UFO entering the atmosphere.
[10:25] BABY
    It's currently lurking above Tokyo Bay.
[10:30] TSUKUDA
    I have to turn into Mina and fight again?
[10:32] BABY
    Not right away.
[10:34] BABY
    But make sure you're ready
    to Jujitsu at any moment.
[10:41] TSUKUDA
    Could you at least tell me
    when I'll have to Jujitsu?
[10:45] TSUKUDA
    I've got a schedule to follow.
[10:47] BABY
    That's all from me. Good luck.
[10:52] TSUKUDA
    Oh, come on.
[11:00] MOM
    The regional qualifier starts today.
[11:02] DAD
    For Kanji-kun, right?
[11:04] DAD
    Come to think of it, he
    stopped coming over recently.
[11:08] MOM
    He's getting to be that age.

[11:22] NAKORU
    Tsukuda-senpai.
[11:24] TSUKUDA
    Nako.
[11:29] TSUKUDA
    What is it?
[11:32] NAKORU
    Whose side are you on?
[11:34] TSUKUDA
    What?
[11:36] NAKORU
    My brother's team or work?
[11:42] TSUKUDA
    Sports journalists must always be impartial.
[11:45] TSUKUDA
    I have to support both.
[11:48] NAKORU
    I see.
[11:51] TSUKUDA
    But I remember my promise with Kanji.
[11:53] NAKORU
    What promise?
[11:59] NAKORU
    What is that?
[12:01] TSUKUDA
    Don't tell the others.
[12:03] TSUKUDA
    But Kanji's probably forgotten, too.
[12:06] AD SUZUKI
    Tsukuda-chan, get on standby!
[12:09] TSUKUDA
    Okay.
[12:10] TSUKUDA
    Sorry. I've gotta go.
[12:15] NAKORU
    They made a promise to each other?
[12:19] NAKORU
    Huh?
[12:26] MUTSUMUNE
    How naive, Tsukudani-san.
[12:29] MUTSUMUNE
    I won't allow you to use your enrollment
    at a competing school to earn points.
[12:34] MUTSUMUNE
    I should be the one to conduct
    the glorious victory interview.
[12:42] PLAYER 1
    How's your shoulder?
[12:43] KANJI
    Great, of course.
[12:47] NAKORU
    Onii-chan.
[12:48] STAFF
    Now, now. Only players and staff
    are allowed past this point.
[12:52] NAKORU
    What?
[12:54] NAKORU
    I wonder if he remembers his
    promise to Tsukuda-senpai.

    T-U-K-I!
[13:05] CHEER
    Tsukishima, go, fight, go!

    Strike!
[13:26] TSUKUDA
    Nice one, Kanji.
[13:28] TSUKUDA
    I mean, uh...
[13:32] TSUKUDA
    Good luck to both Tsukishima and Shiodome.
[13:36] TSUKUDA
    My phone.
[13:39] TSUKUDA
    Excuse me.
[13:45] TSUKUDA
    That's odd. I thought I
    turned it off before work.
[13:53] BABY
    It's an emergency.
[14:00] BABY
    The alien that arrived the other
    day has snuck into the stadium.
[14:05] TSUKUDA
    What? More alien baseball fans?
[14:07] CHEER
    Fight, fight! Shiodome!
[14:21] MUTSUMUNE
    I shall use my elegant cheering
    to make this team win.
[14:28] MUTSUMUNE
    Go, go! Shiodome!
[14:31] MUTSUMUNE
    You can do it, Shiodome!
[14:35] MUTSUMUNE
    Go, go! Shio—
[14:37] ALIEN
    That's right.
[14:41] ALIEN
    I'll use my cheering to make this team win!
[14:53] NAKORU
    You can do it, Tsukishima!
[14:55] CHEER 1
    Look. Shiodome's cheer squad is incredible.
[14:59] NAKORU
    What?
[15:02] CHEER 2
    Such incredible jumps!
    They're all in sync, too.
[15:05] CHEER 3
    We can't do that.
[15:08] NAKORU
    But something's not right.
[15:18] TSUKUDA
    What is that?
[15:20] BABY
    That's a Yellenite.
[15:22] BABY
    They passionately cheer for everything.
[15:25] TSUKUDA
    Doesn't that make them good aliens?
[15:28] BABY
    Yes, but look.
[15:32] MUTSUMUNE
    What? Why me?
[15:34] MUTSUMUNE
    No!
[15:37] BABY
    They get out of hand when
    they take things too far.
[15:40] TSUKUDA
    What's Mutsumune-senpai doing over there?
[15:42] BABY
    In any case, you must Jujitsu
    and defeat them as Mina.
[15:45] TSUKUDA
    Do I have to?
[15:47] BABY
    Why do you look so upset about it?
[15:54] TSUKUDA
    Ma'am, can I have some vegetable juice?
[15:56] GRADMNA
    Sure thing.

    That's what they're using
    to control everyone.

    All right.

[19:00] TSUKUDA
    Kanji...
[19:22] TSUKUDA
    It's the bottom of the ninth
    with two outs. The score is 1-0.
[19:25] TSUKUDA
    Tsukishima's star player Hazemi has pitched
    the whole game against favorites Shiodome,
[19:31] TSUKUDA
    but he's in hot water after
    walking two batters in a row.
[19:37] AD SUZUKI
    Tsukuda-chan?
[19:41] KATO D
    What's the matter? Keep going.

    The star player finishes the
    game with a dirty pitch.
[20:16] (Flashback) YOUNG TSUKUDA
    This is the signal.
[20:19] KANJI
    A dirty pitch...
[20:21] TSUKUDA
    Kanji, go with dirty pitch Dragon Spiral X!
[20:25] AD SUZUKI
    Dirty pitch?

    What's she talking about?

    Tsukuda.

    What is that?

    Ultimate dirty pitch Dragon
    Spiral X Number 18!

    So she was cheering for him after all.

    Damn it, Tsukuda!
[21:19] KATO D
    Dirty pitches aren't a thing!
[21:22] ESCARTIN
    Yeah. Dirty pitch, my ass.
[21:24] TSUKUDA
    I'm sorry.
[21:25] AD SUZUKI
    Now, now. The favorites struggled but
    ultimately came back with a game-winning homer.
[21:30] AD SUZUKI
    The viewers enjoyed that.
[21:32] ESCARTIN
    Again?
[21:35] KATO D
    In that case, it can't be helped.
[21:38] KATO D
    Good work, everyone.
[21:40] STAFF
    Good work!
[21:41] KATO D
    Drink up, everyone!
[23:10] ESCARTIN
    Tsukudani-san, today I'll
    show you that high school
[23:12] ESCARTIN
    announcers are nothing more than a sideshow.
[23:16] TSUKUDA
    Mutsumune-senpai, that was
    very informative. Thank you.
[23:19] ESCARTIN
    I'll just have to crush you at the Umetate
    Luna Festival beach volleyball tournament.
[23:24] TSUKUDA
    Next time on Getsumento Heiki
    Mina, "Mutsumune's Big Break."
[23:28] TSUKUDA

    Oh...
