* 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.*

**[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.
***SIGN*** Aoyama Stadium
**[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.*
**[13:01] CHEER**
T-U-K-I!
**[13:05] CHEER**
Tsukishima, go, fight, go!
**[13:09] HAIBARA**
Play ball!
**[13:24] HAIBARA**
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.

**[18:02] TSUKISHIRO**
That's what they're using

**[18:53] KATO D**
Where have you been, Tsukuda?
**[18:56] KATO D**
Resume the broadcast.
**[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.
**[19:46] AD SUZUKI**
Tsukuda-chan?
**[19:47] KATO D**
Hey, where are you going?
**[19:49] NAKORU**
Onii-chan?
**[19:51] TSUKUDA**
Kanji!
**[19:56] TSUKUDA**
Kanji!
**[20:10] KANJI**
That's...
**[20:11] (Flashback) YOUNG TSUKUDA**
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?
**[20:27] KATO**
What's she talking about?
**[20:34] KANJI**
Tsukuda.
**[20:47] BATTER**
What is that?
**[20:49] KANJI**
Ultimate dirty pitch Dragon
Spiral X Number 18!
**[21:01] TSUKUDA**
*Our promise...*
**[21:04] NAKORU**
*So she was cheering for him after all.*
**[21:18] KATO D**
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**
