[01:28] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[01:37] ---
    On their first ever trip to
    the tournament, Meisei is champion!
[01:42] ---
    The team's ace, Tatsuya Uesugi,
    has pitched the entire game!
[01:49] ---
    "1986 68th Koshien
    National High School Tournament
    Champions Meisei High School"
[02:03] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[02:06] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[02:09] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[02:13] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[02:15] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[02:18] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[02:21] ---
    Their goal is the same.
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[04:06] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[04:10] ---
    That championship happened only once.
[04:13] ---
    Many summers have followed...
[04:17] ---
    ...but Meisei High School
    would never make it to Koshien again.
[04:25] ---
    Squat, Kou!
[04:28] ---
    You're the one who
    should be squatting, Sou!
[04:31] ---
    Can't you do what
    your older brother says?!
[04:34] ---
    Ha!
[04:36] ---
    Big brother?
[04:38] ---
    We share the same birthday.
[04:40] ---
    You've seen the mother-child handbook.
[04:43] ---
    I was born ten minutes earlier.
[04:47] ---
    I don't trust that information.
[04:49] ---
    My hospital might've just been lazy
[04:52] ---
    and slow when I was being born.
[04:56] ---
    Maybe your hospital was impatient and
    had the habit of writing down earlier times.
[05:02] ---
    Who knows if the clocks
    in the hospitals were accurate?
[05:10] ---
    Whether you accept it or not,
[05:13] ---
    the public sees me as the
    older brother and you the younger.
[05:19] ---
    Shut up!
[05:20] ---
    Huh?
[05:22] ---
    Ow!
[05:27] ---
    You guys! You're trespassing again!
[05:32] ---
    Hey, stop! Brats!
[05:36] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[05:38] ---
    This story is about Meisei High School,
[05:41] ---
    champions on their first trip
    to Koshien 30 years ago.
[05:47] ---
    "Meisei's Ace"
[06:36] ---
    "Tachibana"
[06:36] ---
    How fortunate. It's stopped raining.
[06:40] ---
    Spring vacation is over.
[06:43] ---
    Darn. It's way too short!
[06:47] ---
    Don't blame me.
[06:49] ---
    Make the...
[06:51] ---
    ...vacation longer!
[06:53] ---
    I'm telling you it's not my fault!
[06:56] ---
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[06:57] ---
    I'm doing this!
[06:59] ---
    Hey! What?!
[06:59] ---
    Cut it out!
[07:00] ---
    You cut it out!
[07:03] ---
    Ah!
[07:08] ---
    This boy is main character number one.
    Touma Tachibana. Thirteen years old.
[07:12] ---
    "Touma Tachibana"
[07:14] ---
    This one is main character number two.
    Souichirou Tachibana. Thirteen years old.
[07:17] ---
    "Souichirou Tachibana"
[07:20] ---
    Come on. Have your breakfast
    and leave, or you'll be late.
[07:25] ---
    And she is the brothers' little sister:
[07:28] ---
    Otomi Tachibana. Twelve years old.
    Main character number three.
[07:29] ---
    "Otomi Tachibana"
[07:34] ---
    Sou. And you too, Tou.
[07:36] ---
    OK, got it, Otomi.
[07:38] ---
    Stop calling me that.
[07:41] ---
    Why?
[07:42] ---
    You make me sound like your father!
[07:45] ---
    Oh!
[07:48] ---
    "Tou" can also mean father!
[07:48] ---
    "Tou"
[07:49] ---
    "Tou"
    "Tou"
[07:52] ---
    That's right.
[07:53] ---
    Don't worry.
[07:54] ---
    No one'll think you had me as
    your daughter when you were one.
[08:00] ---
    Of course not.
[08:08] ---
    Why aren't you getting ready?
[08:11] ---
    Otomi's entrance ceremony
[08:14] ---
    is tomorrow!
[08:17] ---
    Mother. Mayumi Tachibana.
    Thirty-eight years old.
[08:17] ---
    "Mayumi Tachibana"
[08:20] ---
    Wow. Otomi is finally
    entering junior high school.
[08:25] ---
    She's grown to be a fine lady. Hm!
[08:28] ---
    Father. Eisuke Tachibana.
    Forty-one years old.
[08:29] ---
    "Eisuke Tachibana"
[08:33] ---
    Hey, Dad! Stop touching
    my school uniform like that!
[08:38] ---
    You mustn't!
[08:39] ---
    Meow!
[08:40] ---
    So there you have it.
    I'll see you at school tomorrow. Seniors.
[08:48] ---
    I'm leaving!
[08:49] ---
    Me too!
[08:51] ---
    The high school is only one minute away.
[08:54] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[08:55] ---
    Two more years of patience.
[09:00] ---
    After leaving home,
[09:03] ---
    walk halfway around the high school grounds
[09:07] ---
    and cross one street, then you
    arrive at Meisei Junior High School.
[09:12] ---
    It makes no difference if we go
    right or left around the High School.
[09:17] ---
    "Meisei Junior High School"
[09:17] ---
    It's really not far enough to complain.
[09:21] ---
    It's a straight path if we walk
    through the High School grounds.
[09:26] ---
    Most of the students
    commute by train, bus, or bicycle.
[09:32] ---
    Not to mention,
    this light takes forever to change.
[09:35] ---
    Are you listening? Hey!
[09:37] ---
    --Hm?
    --Hm?
[09:55] ---
    "Daisuke Nikaidou"
[09:58] ---
    Have a good day.
[10:02] ---
    Good morning!
[10:09] ---
    A new school year,
    but the unlikable ones are still unlikable.
[10:13] ---
    We need longer vacations.
[10:24] ---
    Otomi.
[10:26] ---
    What?
[10:27] ---
    Will you help me clean the storeroom?
[10:31] ---
    Why suddenly today?
[10:33] ---
    Only because it came to mind today.
[10:37] ---
    I guess I can.
[10:38] ---
    Good.
[10:41] ---
    I was hoping to go
    and see the baseball team.
[11:16] ---
    Nikaidou.
[11:18] ---
    It's time.
[11:19] ---
    Yes. Then I'll be leaving, manager.
[11:23] ---
    Yeah. Good work.
[11:29] ---
    Exactly one hour today, too.
[11:32] ---
    OK. You guys.
[11:35] ---
    The new school year begins tomorrow.
    We'll have new students wanting to join.
[11:39] ---
    Get your bodies back into
    shape after that long spring break.
[11:43] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:44] ---
    You guys.
[11:45] ---
    Captain.
[11:46] ---
    Can't do it today.
[11:50] ---
    "Tadashi Imagawa"
[11:53] ---
    I know that.
[12:02] ---
    I'm home!
[12:05] ---
    You're early.
[12:07] ---
    They're not gonna overwork us from day one.
[12:11] ---
    Throw any pitches today?
[12:13] ---
    No. Because the manager
    was there the whole time.
[12:17] ---
    I'm glad I didn't...
[12:18] ---
    Hm?
[12:19] ---
    ...go see you practice.
[12:21] ---
    What's that about?
[12:22] ---
    How about Sou?
[12:24] ---
    He's on a date.
[12:26] ---
    He doesn't miss a beat from day one.
[12:38] ---
    What is it?
[12:40] ---
    Want something to drink?
[12:43] ---
    Sure.
[13:05] ---
    You interested in baseball?
[13:07] ---
    Hm?
[13:11] ---
    Miss Tachibana... right?
[13:15] ---
    You're...?
[13:17] ---
    Ichiban Natsuno!
[13:20] ---
    "Ichiban Natsuno"
[13:23] ---
    Oh! Yes, of course!
[13:26] ---
    I remember only the fact
    I thought your name was funny.
[13:31] ---
    That's mean.
[13:33] ---
    Personally, I really like my name.
[13:37] ---
    Ichiban means No. 1, the team ace!
[13:39] ---
    And Natsu means summer!
[13:42] ---
    So it is my destiny to pitch
    at the summer Koshien.
[13:46] ---
    So you won't pitch at the spring Koshien?
[13:49] ---
    Ah, well, that's a different issue...
[13:54] ---
    Are you joining the baseball team?
[13:57] ---
    It's my destiny.
[14:00] ---
    Good luck.
[14:03] ---
    I understand it's pretty tough.
[14:07] ---
    What's tough?
[14:23] ---
    Is that person our ace pitcher?
[14:26] ---
    Huh?
[14:27] ---
    Yeah. That's Nikaidou. He's in ninth grade.
[14:32] ---
    Oh.
[14:34] ---
    It doesn't look like
    I'll have to wait a year to be No. 1.
[14:39] ---
    Oops! I was talking to myself.
[14:42] ---
    You speak so clearly
    for someone talking to himself.
[14:45] ---
    Do you want to become a pitcher?
[14:47] ---
    Yes!
[14:50] ---
    Ichiban Natsuno! The ace of the summer!
[14:53] ---
    I'm destined to take the mound
    at the summer Koshien!
[14:57] ---
    So you won't pitch at the spring Koshien?
[15:00] ---
    Huh? Ah, that's a different issue...
[15:04] ---
    Ah.
[15:05] ---
    "Tachibana"
[15:06] ---
    Tachibana?
[15:08] ---
    Yeah. I'm Touma Tachibana,
    in eighth grade. Good to meet you.
[15:14] ---
    Well, in any case,
    Koshien is a high school tournament.
[15:20] ---
    So don't rush it. Take it slow.
[15:28] ---
    I don't know about that ace pitcher,
    but that catcher is good.
[15:33] ---
    That's Souichirou Tachibana, in eighth grade.
[15:36] ---
    Tachibana?
[15:39] ---
    Are you brothers?
[15:41] ---
    Yeah.
[15:42] ---
    But you two don't look alike, for twins.
[15:48] ---
    Who said we were twins?
[15:50] ---
    Huh? But...
[15:52] ---
    Oh, I get it.
[15:55] ---
    You were born almost a year
    apart in the same grade year!
[15:58] ---
    We share the same birthday.
[16:00] ---
    Huh?
[16:02] ---
    New members, gather here!
[16:05] ---
    Yes!
[16:07] ---
    I'm Kuroyanagi, the manager.
[16:10] ---
    Let's start with you
    showing me how good you are.
[16:15] ---
    Those wanting to be a pitcher, step forward.
[16:18] ---
    Yes!
[16:22] ---
    Yes!
[16:23] ---
    Y-Yes!
[16:35] ---
    Tachibana. Catch for them.
[16:38] ---
    Five pitches per person should be enough.
[16:40] ---
    Yes.
[16:44] ---
    Oh... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
[16:48] ---
    Come on! Don't be so nervous!
[17:01] ---
    I'm sorry!
[17:07] ---
    Next!
[17:21] ---
    OK, next!
[17:23] ---
    Yes!
[17:28] ---
    Ichiban Natsuno! Here I go!
[17:35] ---
    Huh?
[17:45] ---
    He's pretty good.
[17:48] ---
    Not bad.
[17:52] ---
    I'm throwing you a slider next!
[18:00] ---
    OK, that's enough.
[18:03] ---
    Natsuno!
[18:04] ---
    Yes!
[18:06] ---
    The outfield seems to suit you the best.
[18:09] ---
    Take your position there.
[18:11] ---
    Pardon?!
[18:13] ---
    Manager. I'm leaving now.
[18:16] ---
    Right. Good work.
[18:19] ---
    Pardon?
[18:21] ---
    That's the expression anyone would make.
[18:24] ---
    I guess.
[18:29] ---
    What is that manager thinking?!
[18:29] ---
    "Next day"
[18:32] ---
    I told you.
[18:34] ---
    It's pretty tough.
[18:37] ---
    Oh! Come to think of it!
[18:39] ---
    The Tachibana brothers
    on the baseball team...
[18:43] ---
    They're my brothers.
[18:45] ---
    They're in the same grade with the same
    birthday but aren't twins?
[18:49] ---
    How can that be?
[18:51] ---
    Oh. That's because--
[18:52] ---
    Otomi!
[18:53] ---
    Yoshiko.
[18:55] ---
    My mom says you can come
    and get the puppy whenever you want.
[19:00] ---
    Huh?! Really?!
[19:03] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[19:05] ---
    You haven't finished explaining.
[19:11] ---
    Manager. I'm leaving now.
[19:15] ---
    Yeah. Good work.
[19:19] ---
    Does our ace pitcher
    always leave alone early?
[19:24] ---
    Yeah. After about an hour. Every day.
[19:29] ---
    What a carefree club this is.
[19:32] ---
    I guess. Both our team and the
[19:35] ---
    High School baseball team have
    gotten used to being weak.
[19:40] ---
    But the team's been to Koshien before, right?
    The High School team?
[19:43] ---
    "1986 68th Koshien
    National High School Tournament
    Champions Meisei High School"
[19:46] ---
    A long, long, long time ago. And only once.
[19:52] ---
    Huh?
[19:52] ---
    Oops.
[19:54] ---
    Ugh!
[19:54] ---
    Darn. I should've done more
    research before selecting schools.
[20:02] ---
    Touma.
[20:03] ---
    Hm?
[20:04] ---
    I hear the manager won't be back for a while.
[20:10] ---
    Roger that.
[20:17] ---
    Huh?
[20:18] ---
    What about the Tachibana who isn't a catcher?
[20:22] ---
    Oh. He's been our regular
    third baseman since seventh grade.
[20:27] ---
    Oh.
[21:03] ---
    What position did you say he plays?
[21:08] ---
    Third base.
[21:17] ---
    --I'm home!
    --I'm home!
[21:21] ---
    I'm thirsty. Huh?
[21:24] ---
    What's this?
[21:26] ---
    Oh, that.
[21:28] ---
    We found it when cleaning the storeroom.
[21:34] ---
    Maybe it belongs to Dad.
[21:39] ---
    Nope.
[21:41] ---
    This isn't Dad's.
[21:43] ---
    Now, this uniform.
    Who does this No. 1 belong to?
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on Mix.
[23:25] ---
    Hey. Who is the big brother?
[23:28] ---
    Hm? You can be him.
[23:30] ---
    No, you be the big brother.
[23:32] ---
    No, you.
[23:33] ---
    --You. You. You.
    --You. You.
[23:36] ---
    Then I'll be him.
[23:37] ---
    Why you?!
[23:39] ---
    Next time, "I'm Big Brother,
    and You're Little Brother."
[23:39] ---
    "Name: Punch"
[23:42] ---
    "I'm Big Brother and You're Little Brother"
[23:42] ---
    They're both big brothers to me!
[23:45] ---
    
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"

[00:01] ---
    Are you sure that's the one you want, Otomi?
[00:03] ---
    "Dog"
[00:05] ---
    Absolutely.
[00:06] ---
    I had decided on him from the start.
[00:09] ---
    As long as you're sure.
[00:11] ---
    Don't go changing your mind later.
[00:14] ---
    I won't change my mind.
[00:16] ---
    You take care of him from this point on.
[00:19] ---
    Right.
[00:26] ---
    We'll have fun together from now on.
[00:28] ---
    "Punch."
[00:31] ---
    That's not the way "Punch" should be barking.
[00:36] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:39] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:42] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:46] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:48] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:51] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:54] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:40] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[02:45] ---
    There's not much hope this summer, either.
[02:49] ---
    Hmm.
[02:51] ---
    Even a team like this
[02:53] ---
    could be good if we had a decent ace pitcher.
[02:57] ---
    Every pitcher is only
[02:59] ---
    as good as our junior high ace pitcher.
[03:03] ---
    Nikaidou, huh?
[03:06] ---
    That guy will only be our
    ace until this summer.
[03:10] ---
    I certainly hope so.
[03:13] ---
    Souichirou! Touma, dear!
[03:16] ---
    I bought some taiyaki snacks!
[03:19] ---
    Come on home!
[03:22] ---
    Let's go, Touma dear.
[03:25] ---
    Hey!
[03:27] ---
    "I'm Big Brother and You're Little Brother"
[03:33] ---
    Would you simply call me by my name?
[03:36] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[03:38] ---
    I'm not classifying. Just separating.
[03:42] ---
    Making it clear to those around us
    makes it simpler in the long run.
[03:47] ---
    Everyone knows in this neighborhood.
[03:50] ---
    She was even explaining it
    to the courier service the other day.
[03:56] ---
    But you do it too, Touma dear.
[03:58] ---
    You're separating "Mother"
[03:59] ---
    "Mother"
[04:00] ---
    "Mother"
    "(Step) mother"
[04:02] ---
    from "mother" properly.
[04:04] ---
    They sound exactly the same!
[04:06] ---
    By the way...
[04:08] ---
    What's this creature roaming around?!
[04:12] ---
    Punch!
[04:14] ---
    Punch?
[04:18] ---
    That's the puppy Otomi promised
    to bring home from Yoshiko's place.
[04:24] ---
    You decided to name him Punch?
[04:26] ---
    Well, you see...
[04:29] ---
    While I was lying in bed thinking of a name,
[04:34] ---
    "Name: Punch"
[04:35] ---
    a strange person appeared in my dream...
[04:42] ---
    ...told me to do the rest, and disappeared.
[04:49] ---
    I'm sure
[04:50] ---
    the puppy was meant to be called that.
[04:56] ---
    Hey, Punch.
[04:58] ---
    Meet brother Souichirou and brother Touma.
[05:02] ---
    Say hi.
[05:04] ---
    Argh!
[05:06] ---
    Throw that dog away!
[05:08] ---
    --My, it's full of spirit!
    --There are two portraits displayed
    in the Japanese-style room.
[05:13] ---
    One is of Souichirou
    and Otomi's deceased father,
[05:16] ---
    and the other is of Touma's deceased mother.
[05:19] ---
    When their current parents, Eisuke Tachibana
[05:24] ---
    and Mayumi Sawai, got married,
[05:26] ---
    big brother Souichirou and
    little brother Touma were six,
[05:31] ---
    and little sister Otomi was five years old.
[05:39] ---
    Oh, I see now.
[05:42] ---
    Hm?
[05:43] ---
    I just happened to
    overhear your mother explain it
[05:48] ---
    --at the new taiyaki shop by the station.
    --That's right! Can you imagine it?!
[05:52] ---
    The Tachibana family structure.
[05:54] ---
    It's pretty nice.
[05:56] ---
    Oh, how nice.
[05:58] ---
    But, well, never mind that.
[06:02] ---
    What's the deal with our baseball club?!
[06:05] ---
    Anyone can see that your brother
    is far superior to the current ace!
[06:12] ---
    Of course.
[06:13] ---
    That's not all!
[06:14] ---
    The team has no decent backup pitchers,
[06:17] ---
    so why am I stuck playing in the outfield?
[06:20] ---
    That's proof that you've been
    recognized as a decent pitcher.
[06:25] ---
    I-I don't get it.
[06:28] ---
    What they're doing doesn't make any sense!
[06:31] ---
    What is it with this baseball club?
[06:34] ---
    But the facilities are
    top class, don't you think?
[06:37] ---
    Huh?
[06:42] ---
    You have a point. They are top class.
[06:47] ---
    New members, gather!
[06:51] ---
    We received your practice uniforms
[06:54] ---
    from old boy Chairman Nikaidou.
[06:58] ---
    Accept them with heartfelt gratitude.
[07:02] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:04] ---
    Nikaidou?
[07:16] ---
    Clean these, Miyata.
[07:18] ---
    Y-Yes.
[07:23] ---
    Nikaidou.
[07:26] ---
    We have new first-year members on the team,
[07:29] ---
    so it's time you relieve Miyata of his duties
[07:33] ---
    as your personal equipment cleaner.
[07:37] ---
    Do you want to stop doing it, Miyata?
[07:39] ---
    Huh?
[07:40] ---
    Well, um...
[07:42] ---
    If you don't want to do it, tell him so.
[07:46] ---
    Nikaidou is not someone
    who would take advantage
[07:49] ---
    of your fathers' positions at the company.
[07:53] ---
    Right?
[07:56] ---
    Tachibana.
[08:00] ---
    I hear you've been secretly
    practicing after I leave.
[08:08] ---
    Stop wasting your time.
[08:10] ---
    As long as I'm here,
    you will never take the pitcher's mound.
[08:15] ---
    You can count on that.
[08:17] ---
    But you won't be here long.
[08:19] ---
    Come autumn, you'll no
    longer be here. Right, Nikaidou?
[08:27] ---
    You're right. I'll need to have
    a long talk with the manager.
[08:32] ---
    About things to come.
[08:40] ---
    That OB called Nikaidou.
[08:44] ---
    Any relation to our ace?
[08:45] ---
    Yeah.
[08:48] ---
    He's our Nikaidou's father.
[08:52] ---
    President of the Nikaidou Electric Company.
[08:56] ---
    "Gift from Kouzou Nikaidou"
[08:57] ---
    Every year, he grants our
    baseball club a shower of gifts.
[09:04] ---
    I see.
[09:06] ---
    But that's not all.
[09:09] ---
    He and our manager are former players
    of the junior high and high school teams.
[09:14] ---
    And they remain very good friends.
[09:18] ---
    And for that reason,
[09:19] ---
    our club's selfish ace
    is free to do as he desires.
[09:26] ---
    I get it.
[09:28] ---
    Wait! Are you all right with that?!
[09:31] ---
    You're the team captain,
    aren't you, Imagawa?!
[09:34] ---
    Don't rely on me to do anything.
[09:37] ---
    We've known each other since grade school.
[09:41] ---
    I can't speak for him,
    but I still consider him
[09:45] ---
    a friend.
[09:52] ---
    Touma.
[09:53] ---
    I'll catch for you. Throw some pitches.
[09:56] ---
    But the manager's still
    here. Right over there.
[10:00] ---
    Why should I care?
[10:03] ---
    Yeah.
[10:04] ---
    Why should we care?
[10:28] ---
    Nice pitch!
[10:30] ---
    Miss Tachibana!
[10:33] ---
    Break time is over.
[10:35] ---
    Please return to your seat right now.
[10:39] ---
    Wanna throw some pitches, Natsuno?
[10:42] ---
    Huh? You sure?
[10:45] ---
    Don't even think about Touma's fastball!
[10:48] ---
    Pitch your own style!
[10:50] ---
    Yes!
[10:54] ---
    Tachibana.
[10:55] ---
    I didn't approve or disapprove, did I?
[11:00] ---
    You didn't. As always, Captain.
[11:04] ---
    OK.
[11:08] ---
    Huh? This tune...
[11:12] ---
    This is that tune often
    played at the Koshien, isn't it?
[11:16] ---
    From that baseball anime
    they had on TV long ago.
[11:20] ---
    What was the name? Ah...
[11:24] ---
    If you're not gonna throw, change spots!
[11:26] ---
    Huh?
[12:13] ---
    What time is it, Sou?
[12:17] ---
    Sou!
[12:33] ---
    Morning.
[12:35] ---
    Hey.
[12:37] ---
    Do you realize what time it is?
[12:40] ---
    I know it's Sunday, but still.
[12:43] ---
    I tried to find out, but Sou...
[12:48] ---
    So where's Sou?
[12:50] ---
    On a date.
[12:51] ---
    With who?
[12:52] ---
    Who knows?
[12:54] ---
    The girls line up to date Sou.
    There are so many of them.
[13:00] ---
    Where are Dad and Mom?
[13:02] ---
    They're on a date, too.
[13:04] ---
    They're visiting the Asakusa area.
[13:06] ---
    They'll be buying box lunches
    and returning before evening.
[13:10] ---
    How nice that they get along so well.
[13:13] ---
    I agree.
[13:18] ---
    But you know,
[13:21] ---
    Mom's lowered her standards.
[13:24] ---
    They've got completely
    different personalities.
[13:27] ---
    You think so?
[13:29] ---
    Depending on the angle of the shot,
[13:31] ---
    Dad could pass as
    a refreshingly good-looking man.
[13:39] ---
    If you show me even one photo like that,
[13:41] ---
    I'll treat you to all the cake you can eat.
[13:44] ---
    Really?!
[13:46] ---
    OK!
[13:55] ---
    I'll stop now. I'd hate for
    it to fade as just a dream.
[14:01] ---
    You've gotta love comic
    storytelling to understand that.
[14:04] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[14:14] ---
    Darn it. Dad's a fool.
[14:14] ---
    "Member of Society Book"
[14:16] ---
    There's not a single decent photo.
[14:19] ---
    "Youthful Days Book"
[14:24] ---
    He's been like that since he was a student.
[14:29] ---
    Your double-digit uniform number
    is nothing to brag about.
[14:34] ---
    Yeah, this pitching form says it all.
[14:38] ---
    Good grief.
[14:40] ---
    Will you stop calling Dad names, Tou?
[14:44] ---
    Stop calling me that!
[14:46] ---
    That's so confusing.
[14:49] ---
    "Tou" can mean dad and stepfather.
[14:50] ---
    "Tou (father)"
[14:51] ---
    "Tou (father)"
    "Tou (stepfather)"
[14:52] ---
    "Tou (father)"
    "Tou (stepfather)"
    "Tou (Touma)"
[14:54] ---
    That's not at all confusing.
[14:57] ---
    Stop laughing!
[15:01] ---
    Darn.
[15:02] ---
    Huh?
[15:04] ---
    Come to think of it, that uniform...
[15:08] ---
    Oh, that? Did you ask Dad?
[15:13] ---
    Let's just say we never saw that.
[15:16] ---
    Why's that?
[15:17] ---
    He could've stolen it from the club, right?
[15:22] ---
    I doubt it.
[15:23] ---
    No, our dad might do something like that.
[15:27] ---
    He always tells us after a couple of drinks.
[15:31] ---
    How he would've loved to, just one time,
    wear uniform number 1 when at school.
[15:38] ---
    You're right.
[15:40] ---
    Let's not say anything
    until he's ready to confess.
[15:44] ---
    Roger that!
[15:47] ---
    Uniform number 1.
[15:51] ---
    Tou, I can't wait to see you take the mound
[15:55] ---
    and wear Meisei's number 1 uniform.
[16:01] ---
    If you wanna go out somewhere, go ahead.
[16:03] ---
    I'll look after things at home.
[16:07] ---
    Oh. I made a promise to see Koma.
[16:12] ---
    See you later.
[16:17] ---
    Oops! Run!
[16:27] ---
    Thank you. I had a lot of fun today.
[16:30] ---
    No, thank you. I had great fun, too!
[16:34] ---
    Sorry I don't have more time today.
[16:37] ---
    Let's spend more time together next time.
[16:39] ---
    Yes! I'd be glad to!
[16:43] ---
    Goodbye, then.
[16:44] ---
    Goodbye.
[16:46] ---
    Feel free to call me
    anytime! I'll be waiting!
[16:55] ---
    What in the world are you doing here?!
[16:58] ---
    I just happened to be passing by.
[17:01] ---
    Where do you plan to go?!
[17:03] ---
    Where?
[17:05] ---
    I was going to Koma's
    place to play some games.
[17:08] ---
    How about Otomi?
[17:09] ---
    She's home.
[17:11] ---
    Dad and Mom have gone out, right?!
[17:14] ---
    Yeah, appears so.
[17:16] ---
    And yet you left her alone?!
[17:19] ---
    What's there to worry about?
    She's no longer in elementary school.
[17:24] ---
    Are you nuts?!
[17:26] ---
    The danger that haunts a
    girl increases as she gets older!
[17:30] ---
    Head back home right now!
[17:32] ---
    I came here without worry
    because I thought you'd be with her!
[17:37] ---
    If that's how you feel, 
    you go home right now!
[17:41] ---
    You're finished with your date, right?!
[17:45] ---
    The first game, yes.
[17:47] ---
    Huh?
[17:48] ---
    I've got a doubleheader today.
[17:52] ---
    "Doubleheader"
SIGN    "Doubleheader" "In baseball, where teams play two games in a row on the same day."
[17:58] ---
    Sou!
[18:00] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[18:02] ---
    No worries. I just arrived.
[18:06] ---
    Anyway, you head home right now!
[18:08] ---
    Should anything happen
    to Otomi, I'll blast you!
[18:12] ---
    Oh, no! You're scaring me, Sou!
[18:16] ---
    I'm just kidding.
[18:18] ---
    Come on, let's go.
[18:24] ---
    Oh, Natsuno.
[18:26] ---
    Is Otomi home today?
[18:30] ---
    What if she is?
[18:32] ---
    Huh? Oh, well... nothing. Just...
[18:38] ---
    Please tell her I said "hi."
[18:39] ---
    Natsuno!
[18:43] ---
    Y-Yes?
[18:45] ---
    About your pitching form.
    Relax your elbow more.
[18:50] ---
    Otherwise, you'll injure
    your arm. So watch out.
[18:53] ---
    Oh. Yes. Thank you very much.
[19:01] ---
    Give me a break.
    What's with this doubleheader?
[19:05] ---
    Really. Who's he kidding? Why must I...
[19:13] ---
    Get lost, suspicious prowlers!
[19:17] ---
    What the heck?
[19:24] ---
    Otomi is very shy, Touma dear.
[20:04] ---
    "Any for 300 yen"
[21:03] ---
    It took...
[21:06] ---
    ...one month.
[21:11] ---
    I'm home.
[21:13] ---
    That was fast. Was Koma not home?
[21:17] ---
    No, that's not it.
[21:19] ---
    I remembered on my way there
    that we had an argument.
[21:24] ---
    If it's an argument you'd forgotten,
    why should that keep you?
[21:27] ---
    Well, I guess.
[21:31] ---
    Hey, stop disturbing me.
[21:34] ---
    Punch has become
    attached to you in no time.
[21:37] ---
    A far cry from someone else I know.
[21:39] ---
    Huh?
[21:41] ---
    No, it's nothing.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on Mix.
[23:25] ---
    What do you like about Meisei High School?
[23:27] ---
    School is one minute from home.
[23:29] ---
    What else?
[23:29] ---
    Run, and it could be 30 seconds.
[23:31] ---
    What else?
[23:32] ---
    I can come home during
    the break to get anything I forgot.
[23:34] ---
    I can get up that much later in the morning.
[23:36] ---
    I won't get wet on rainy days.
[23:37] ---
    I can casually invite friends.
[23:38] ---
    In other words, only that it's close.
[23:41] ---
    Huh?
[23:41] ---
    "The Heck with Meisei High School"
[23:42] ---
    Next time, "The Heck with
    Meisei High School."
[23:45] ---
    What I like is... Huh?
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:49] ---

[00:00] ---
    Meisei High School
[00:03] ---
    and their one and only trip to Koshien
[00:06] ---
    where they became national champions.
[00:09] ---
    But we'll put that aside.
[00:11] ---
    We'll focus on the Junior
    High School for now.
[00:16] ---
    What a beautiful day.
[00:19] ---
    I hope you're having a great day, too.
[00:23] ---
    What was that about?
[00:26] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:29] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:32] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:36] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:38] ---
    these brothers and
    their younger sister have adventures
[00:41] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:44] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:39] ---
    Ball!
[02:40] ---
    Four balls!
[02:43] ---
    "Pitcher: Nikaidou" "Grade: Nine"
[02:47] ---
    "Third Baseman: Touma 
    Tachibana" "Grade: Eight"
[02:48] ---
    He's run out of stamina again.
[02:54] ---
    Two outs! Two outs!
[02:54] ---
    "First Baseman: Imakawa"
     "Grade: Nine"
[02:56] ---
    "Team Name | 1 | 2 | 3 |

[02:56] ---
    
    "Kitamiya"
    "Meisei"
[02:57] ---
    A practice game against Kitamiya Junior High.
[03:01] ---
    Top of the fifth inning,
    two outs, bases loaded.
[03:06] ---
    "Catcher: Souichirou"
     "Grade: Eight"
[03:16] ---
    Seriously?
[03:25] ---
    Three outs! Change sides!
[03:28] ---
    "The Heck with Meisei High School"
[03:34] ---
    Nice catch.
[03:35] ---
    I was just lucky.
[03:37] ---
    Goodbye, manager.
[03:39] ---
    Yeah. You pitched well. Good job.
[03:47] ---
    Good job? Come on,
    we're still in the fifth inning.
[03:51] ---
    No sweat. It's just a practice game.
[03:56] ---
    Now, time to bring in the
    team's pride, our relief pitchers.
[04:01] ---
    "Kousaku Koma"
[04:08] ---
    Where are you going?
[04:09] ---
    To the toilet.
[04:10] ---
    It's unlikely I'll be hitting this inning.
[04:21] ---
    Oww...
[04:23] ---
    Watch where you're going!
[04:25] ---
    Cut that out!
[04:29] ---
    You're Tachibana,
    the third baseman, aren't you?
[04:31] ---
    That play a moment ago was impressive.
[04:34] ---
    I thank you on behalf of my son.
[04:37] ---
    Thank you.
[04:38] ---
    The baseball team OB Chairman.
[04:41] ---
    Father of our ace pitcher.
[04:43] ---
    We're going.
[04:46] ---
    Yes, sir!
[04:51] ---
    He's come here to see a game like this?
[04:53] ---
    Presidents must have nothing to do.
[04:57] ---
    And in the final inning...
[05:01] ---
    "Pitcher: Yasuno"
     "Grade: Nine"
[05:13] ---
    Out!
[05:14] ---
    Game over!
[05:16] ---
    "Total"
[05:17] ---
    In junior high, games generally
    go for seven innings. Or so they say.
[05:21] ---
    "Kitamiya"
    "Meisei"
[05:23] ---
    That was a great practice game,
    for both our defense and offense.
[05:37] ---
    Tachibana.
[05:38] ---
    Yes?
[05:39] ---
    Older brother.
[05:41] ---
    Yes?
[05:42] ---
    A girl by the name of
    Itou is waiting outside.
[05:45] ---
    Itou?
[05:46] ---
    Ah... Asako Itou...
[05:49] ---
    Oh, right.
[05:53] ---
    Touma. Tell Mom I won't be home for dinner.
[06:00] ---
    You need to warn him.
[06:03] ---
    Huh?
[06:04] ---
    If guys who are already
    popular start hitting on girls,
[06:08] ---
    that becomes a problem for other guys!
[06:11] ---
    If Souichirou does as he wishes,
    things will get out of hand!
[06:15] ---
    This won't end well!
[06:16] ---
    I've heard that line somewhere.
[06:18] ---
    Tou!
[06:22] ---
    Is the game over?
[06:24] ---
    Stop calling me Tou!
[06:28] ---
    Oh, Koma. Long time no see.
[06:31] ---
    Otomi.
[06:32] ---
    So? How'd you do today?
[06:36] ---
    Two for four. One RBI.
[06:39] ---
    How did Sou do?
[06:41] ---
    Two for three. One RBI.
[06:45] ---
    Which means...
[06:46] ---
    Overall, Touma, you're hitting .368.
[06:50] ---
    Sou is hitting .382.
[06:53] ---
    Sou has increased his lead over you again.
[06:56] ---
    Like I've said, I really should be...
[06:58] ---
    Yeah, yeah. I know.
[07:02] ---
    I'll add your pitching stats too,
    starting this autumn.
[07:06] ---
    Oh, which reminds me--
[07:08] ---
    Koma. You hit a home run today, didn't you?
[07:12] ---
    Were you watching?
[07:14] ---
    That's so flattering.
[07:16] ---
    Every other at bat,
    you struck out on three pitches.
[07:21] ---
    No need to give out
    unnecessary information, young man.
[07:25] ---
    I'm glad to see you guys made up.
[07:27] ---
    Bye.
[07:30] ---
    Made up?
[07:33] ---
    Were we fighting about something?
[07:35] ---
    I dunno.
[07:37] ---
    In any case,
[07:38] ---
    she gets cuter every time I see her. Otomi.
[07:42] ---
    Oh! Of course!
[07:45] ---
    No matter how cute she is,
    Otomi's safe, unlike the other girls.
[07:49] ---
    She's the one and only girl
[07:52] ---
    that your womanizer brother can't hit on.
[07:54] ---
    That's obvious!
[07:56] ---
    Oh! Senior Tachibana!
[07:59] ---
    Did Otomi happen to come this way?
[08:03] ---
    Have you seen my sister?
[08:05] ---
    I haven't.
[08:07] ---
    Huh? That's strange.
[08:11] ---
    Competition is going to become intense.
[08:15] ---
    Huh?
[08:17] ---
    Of course. You have the right to compete.
[08:21] ---
    Huh?
[08:22] ---
    Cut out that nonsense!
[08:25] ---
    Want me to fight you for real?!
[08:45] ---
    Be quiet!
[08:46] ---
    I'm not interested in my sister's underwear!
[08:51] ---
    "Taking a bath
    Do not peek!"
[08:52] ---
    She was in elementary school
    until just a month ago.
[08:57] ---
    Don't expect me to peek! You fool!
[09:03] ---
    What in the world are you doing?
[09:10] ---
    You're confusing things by posting this sign!
[09:12] ---
    The sign's for when Otomi is in!
[09:14] ---
    Oh? Is that so? So sorry.
[09:21] ---
    Why don't you take Sou's bat to him, too?
[09:25] ---
    He's fooling around with a girl.
[09:27] ---
    He won't be home for...
[09:31] ---
    Here.
[09:32] ---
    Thank you.
[09:42] ---
    And to think you've been brothers for years.
[09:48] ---
    I thought it again during today's game.
[09:50] ---
    Our baseball team will become pretty strong.
[09:55] ---
    By making you our ace pitcher
[09:56] ---
    and maintaining the other pitchers properly.
[10:00] ---
    Yeah.
[10:03] ---
    But...
[10:05] ---
    What'll you do if you're still
    stuck at third come autumn?
[10:10] ---
    That manager may do just that.
[10:13] ---
    He plans to domesticate us.
[10:16] ---
    Also...
[10:18] ---
    Even in high school, he'll
    be on the team again.
[10:21] ---
    His father's influence on
    Meisei High School is huge.
[10:26] ---
    Actually, he may even hire that
    manager to take over the high school--
[10:31] ---
    Stop it, already.
[10:33] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[10:35] ---
    I don't plan on being with him for that long.
[10:38] ---
    Meisei's not the only school
    with a baseball team.
[10:41] ---
    But it's the school your dad went to.
[10:43] ---
    Yeah.
[10:45] ---
    Because of it, I've been forced
    to root for it as long as I can remember.
[10:49] ---
    And every time, I'm shown
    a game where they lose bad.
[10:53] ---
    Honestly, I don't really care.
[10:56] ---
    I have no preference for it other
    than the fact it's only a minute away.
[11:02] ---
    I see.
[11:03] ---
    OK. Choose any high school.
[11:07] ---
    But you'd better take responsibility.
[11:10] ---
    You're the one who made me a catcher.
[11:14] ---
    Yeah.
[11:15] ---
    I won't make you regret it.
[11:19] ---
    OK! I'm done!
[11:23] ---
    "Taking a bath"
[11:23] ---
    This one's for me.
[11:27] ---
    Right? No reason to really care about it.
[11:29] ---
    Meisei High School.
[11:30] ---
    "Taking a bath"
[11:31] ---
    You're right. No reason to care.
[11:46] ---
    National Junior High School
    Hard Rubber Ball Baseball Tournament.
[11:50] ---
    National Juniors for short.
[11:52] ---
    In Tokyo, the tournament begins with
    preliminaries, divided into twelve blocks.
[11:59] ---
    By the way, the Meisei
    Junior High Baseball Team
[12:01] ---
    "Nakaizumi"
    "Meisei"
[12:02] ---
    hasn't been past this stage
    for about 20 years now.
[12:08] ---
    You're out!
[12:11] ---
    National Juniors, preliminary
    round, game one.
[12:15] ---
    What are you trying to do?
    You're swinging too hard.
[12:18] ---
    Well, you see. I was hoping
    we could finish this match
[12:22] ---
    before our beloved ace pitcher leaves.
[12:26] ---
    "Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7"
[12:26] ---
    "Nakaizumi"
    "Meisei"
[12:26] ---
    Lead by ten or more runs
    by the end of the third inning
[12:29] ---
    or by seven or more runs by the end of the
    fifth inning, and the mercy rule goes into effect.
[12:32] ---
    Apparently.
[12:39] ---
    An inside-the-park home run!
[12:42] ---
    You can round the bases easily!
[12:44] ---
    Don't be so sure.
[12:54] ---
    Safe!
[12:57] ---
    "Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
    | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Total"
[12:57] ---
    "Nakaizumi"
    "Meisei"
[12:58] ---
    Eight to one, fifth inning
    mercy rule, Meisei wins!
[13:02] ---
    That was a great sprint, as always.
[13:05] ---
    Shut up.
[13:07] ---
    If you would put your heart into it,
    there are easier ways to win.
[13:14] ---
    "Team Member A: No Uniform
    Number" "Grade: Eight"
[13:15] ---
    Good job, Mr. Nikaidou.
[13:17] ---
    "Team Member B: No Uniform
     Number" "Grade: Eight"
[13:17] ---
    Yes, good job.
[13:19] ---
    --You were great again today.
    --That type can be seen everywhere.
[13:21] ---
    --You were awesome.
    --That type can be seen everywhere.
[13:23] ---
    To them, it could be the
    quickest way onto the team.
[13:28] ---
    You can't be serious.
[13:29] ---
    If it becomes too rotten,
    it's time to reconsider.
[13:34] ---
    Because then this isn't
    where you two should be.
[13:40] ---
    Good! We've made it past the first game!
[13:43] ---
    But why is he playing third base?
[13:46] ---
    Pardon?
[13:46] ---
    According to you, Otomi,
    Touma's a great pitcher, right?
[13:50] ---
    No! A Super-great pitcher!
[13:53] ---
    Then why?
[14:00] ---
    You will find out soon enough.
[14:03] ---
    For sure.
[14:05] ---
    You're Otomi Tachibana, right?
[14:09] ---
    Would you mind taking a picture with me?
[14:13] ---
    Me too, me too.
[14:14] ---
    Huh?
[14:15] ---
    Touma!
[14:16] ---
    Huh?
[14:17] ---
    Take Otomi and go home first.
[14:20] ---
    She's surrounded by bad pests over there.
[14:23] ---
    Oh, Seniors, I'll help you!
[14:27] ---
    I'll take care of this pest.
[14:29] ---
    Now go!
[14:30] ---
    R-Right.
[14:31] ---
    Excuse me, big brother.
[14:37] ---
    What is it with the popularity
    of both you and Sou?
[14:42] ---
    We're cheerful, friendly,
[14:44] ---
    and have lovable personalities.
[14:47] ---
    Ugh!
[14:49] ---
    If so, it's thanks to you, Tou.
[14:52] ---
    I used to have a different
    personality, right?
[14:59] ---
    I wonder.
[15:01] ---
    I don't remember all that well.
[15:07] ---
    I'm home!
[15:17] ---
    That's what I think!
[15:20] ---
    The rain is so noisy.
[15:22] ---
    Huh? Ah, did you not hear me?
[15:26] ---
    I heard you. I understand
    what you're trying to say.
[15:33] ---
    What's that?
[15:35] ---
    Resignation in writing.
[15:36] ---
    I never said a single word
    about wanting to resign!
[15:40] ---
    You don't like the way I do things, right?
[15:44] ---
    I'm only asking, aren't
    things a little bit odd?
[15:49] ---
    Do you find it only a little bit odd?
[15:51] ---
    Huh?
[15:52] ---
    Life is full of good
    and bad luck from time to time.
[15:56] ---
    You'll just need to give up, thinking
    you got stuck with a lousy manager.
[16:01] ---
    If you can't do that...
[16:06] ---
    So did you submit your resignation?
[16:09] ---
    There's no way I would
    quit the baseball club!
[16:11] ---
    I'm Ichiban Natsuno!
    Ace pitcher of the summer!
[16:14] ---
    I'll take the mound of Koshien!
[16:16] ---
    Whatever.
[16:18] ---
    Well, if push comes to shove,
    you can always change schools.
[16:21] ---
    Not a chance!
[16:22] ---
    Besides, I now have another destiny.
[16:27] ---
    I will throw while Otomi Tachibana performs
[16:29] ---
    in the background
    from Koshien's Alps Stands.
[16:34] ---
    The team's brass band doesn't play
    when the team is playing defense.
[16:40] ---
    What I wanna know is, what about those two?
[16:43] ---
    Hm?
[16:44] ---
    Should they remain in Meisei?
[16:50] ---
    As you see, many topics surround the
    Meisei Junior High School baseball club.
[17:02] ---
    "No. 6 | Second Baseman: 
    Muroya" "Grade: Nine"
[17:32] ---
    You're out!
[17:37] ---
    Yeah!
[17:39] ---
    Somehow...
[17:41] ---
    One way or another...
[17:43] ---
    "Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7"
[17:43] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Sakanishi"
[17:44] ---
    Finding ways to get it done...
[17:50] ---
    Congratulations on getting
    to the block representative final!
[17:54] ---
    You can almost smell the Tokyo Tournament.
[17:57] ---
    The first time in 20 years.
[17:59] ---
    I wonder.
[18:01] ---
    Take today's game. We totally lucked out.
[18:05] ---
    But although the opponent tied us,
    we never let them take the lead.
[18:10] ---
    If you hadn't led the game,
    we would've been blown out.
[18:12] ---
    That's it!
[18:13] ---
    Huh?
[18:15] ---
    Where?
[18:18] ---
    He hardly ever shakes off pitches I call.
[18:22] ---
    Odd, don't you think?
[18:24] ---
    Not really.
[18:25] ---
    He doesn't have enough
    pitches to give him the luxury
[18:29] ---
    of shaking them off.
[18:31] ---
    Well, whatever the case,
[18:34] ---
    he does show great determination
    in the most crucial times.
[18:39] ---
    Enough to scare you.
[18:42] ---
    If so, he needs to take practice seriously!
[18:46] ---
    He's always leaving early.
[18:48] ---
    Couldn't agree more.
[18:50] ---
    OK, replies have been sent.
[18:52] ---
    That must be a lot of work.
[18:55] ---
    It's about time you got
    yourself a smart phone.
[18:58] ---
    I don't need one. It'll be a drag.
[19:00] ---
    I get asked frequently
    from girls how to reach you.
[19:04] ---
    Oh?
[19:06] ---
    Yeah. A number of girls have asked me, too.
[19:09] ---
    Go right ahead. Make fun of me, will you?
[19:12] ---
    I'm telling the truth.
[19:15] ---
    You're quite popular, Tou!
[19:17] ---
    And imagine if they found out
    about the pitching talent you're hiding.
[19:21] ---
    Why, the entire school--
[19:23] ---
    What do you want me to do?
[19:26] ---
    Punch's vaccination.
[19:28] ---
    Help me take him to the animal hospital.
[19:31] ---
    You're more accustomed to Punch than Sou is.
[19:34] ---
    That's because he only plays with girls!
[19:39] ---
    Have fun at the vet.
[19:52] ---
    Ace, huh?
[19:59] ---
    --We're home.
    --We're home.
[20:01] ---
    Welcome home.
[20:04] ---
    Did Otomi go to the animal hospital?
[20:06] ---
    Yeah. Just moments ago,
    with Punch and Touma.
[20:10] ---
    Oh? I'll get dinner ready right away.
[20:14] ---
    Sou!
[20:16] ---
    Why don't we play catch
    while dinner's being prepared?
[20:26] ---
    It's not like you've given up yet, right?
[20:29] ---
    Huh?
[20:30] ---
    Pitching.
[20:32] ---
    In little league, you two were
    always competing to be the ace pitcher.
[20:37] ---
    There's no way I can throw
    a ball as fast as Touma does.
[20:40] ---
    It's not just about the fastball, is it?
[20:43] ---
    The art of pitching?
[20:45] ---
    Not to mention, he's my son.
[20:48] ---
    Me, a backup pitcher at best.
[20:51] ---
    I envied Touma.
[20:54] ---
    Huh?
[20:55] ---
    You played catch with him
    since he was three, I hear.
[21:00] ---
    Yeah. But you, too, right?
[21:04] ---
    Not at all.
[21:06] ---
    My late father bought me a baseball glove,
[21:09] ---
    but he would only watch
    me play with the ball.
[21:15] ---
    Although he did look happy doing so.
[21:19] ---
    He told me himself
    that he was lousy at baseball.
[21:25] ---
    Mayumi!
[21:27] ---
    Yes?
[21:31] ---
    Dinner's not ready yet, is it?
[21:34] ---
    Of course not!
    It's not like I'm making instant noodles!
[21:38] ---
    Didn't think so.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Tou, do you know what a "trade" is?
[23:27] ---
    Oh, like what's popular?
[23:29] ---
    That's a trend.
[23:30] ---
    That hairstyle?
[23:31] ---
    You mean dreads?
[23:32] ---
    Hardly moves.
[23:33] ---
    A droid!
[23:34] ---
    In music?
[23:34] ---
    Do re do!
[23:35] ---
    Strong winds.
[23:36] ---
    Tornado!
[23:37] ---
    Sweet and sour.
[23:38] ---
    Marmalade!
[23:38] ---
    Deck of cards!
[23:39] ---
    Spades!
[23:40] ---
    Soccer.
[23:40] ---
    Forward!
[23:41] ---
    Oh, boy.
[23:42] ---
    "I Want a Trade"
[23:43] ---
    Next time, "I Want a Trade."
[23:45] ---
    Marine reptile. With a shell.
[23:46] ---
    A turtle!
[23:47] ---

[00:08] ---
    Tachibana!
[00:10] ---
    Tachibana!
[00:13] ---
    Yes?
[00:16] ---
    Not you.
[00:18] ---
    The other Tachibana.
[00:20] ---
    If you mean Souichirou, he's not here.
[00:22] ---
    What?
[00:23] ---
    Today's the anniversary of
    the day his dad passed away,
[00:27] ---
    so he's visiting
    his dad's grave with his sister.
[00:31] ---
    Visiting his dad's grave?
[00:33] ---
    Yes.
[00:33] ---
    I wasn't informed!
[00:35] ---
    Huh? That's strange.
[00:38] ---
    Everyone knows about it.
[00:41] ---
    That he got permission from the manager
    and captain after practice yesterday.
[00:46] ---
    Oh! Why, of course.
[00:48] ---
    You're not here after practice,
    are you, Nikaidou?
[00:52] ---
    Because you always leave early.
[01:02] ---
    You were both ready for a fight, weren't you?
[01:05] ---
    Yeah.
[01:06] ---
    At least I was.
[01:11] ---
    Nikaidou!
[01:14] ---
    As your former battery partner,
    how about I catch your pitches?
[01:25] ---
    I'd rather not.
[01:26] ---
    Hm?
[01:27] ---
    There's an important game coming up.
[01:29] ---
    I don't want to lose
    my touch by throwing to you.
[01:36] ---
    As you wish.
[01:41] ---
    Hey!
[01:42] ---
    He left. Our ace pitcher.
[01:46] ---
    The next game will be
    our last in this tournament.
[01:50] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[01:53] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:56] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[02:00] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[02:02] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[02:05] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[02:08] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:54] ---
    National Junior High School
    Hard Rubber Ball Baseball Tournament.
[03:57] ---
    National Juniors for short.
[03:59] ---
    Final of the preliminaries with a trip
    to the Tokyo Tournament on the line.
[04:09] ---
    No matter how you look at it...
[04:12] ---
    ...there's no way.
[04:17] ---
    Not with that speed or movement.
[04:20] ---
    Do your best!
[04:21] ---
    Hit it!
[04:25] ---
    Third!
[04:35] ---
    That's great!
[04:40] ---
    
    "Kitamiya"
    "Meisei"
[04:41] ---
    I can't believe he threw a complete game.
[04:44] ---
    That was a great game!
[04:47] ---
    How'd you like that, Tachibana?
[04:49] ---
    Nice pitching.
[04:51] ---
    I could barely hear you!
[04:53] ---
    Perhaps.
[04:54] ---
    Try saying it, Tachibana.
[04:56] ---
    Who is the ace pitcher of this team?
[04:59] ---
    Only you, Nikaidou,
    wear the number 1 uniform.
[05:02] ---
    Did you hear that, Tachibana?!
[05:04] ---
    Now you're talking to me?
[05:07] ---
    In your face!
[05:11] ---
    He's trying to make a point, but...
[05:14] ---
    Right?
[05:15] ---
    All I said was he wears
    the number 1 uniform.
[05:19] ---
    But still.
[05:21] ---
    The first trip to the
    Tokyo Tournament in 20 years.
[05:23] ---
    Let alone a complete game victory.
[05:25] ---
    --Daisuke! You're a star!
[05:25] ---
    --That uniform number 1's
    gonna be all puffed up.
[05:30] ---
    Yeah.
[05:33] ---
    That's gonna be a pain.
[05:35] ---
    "I Want a Trade"
[05:41] ---
    However, that wasn't the
    only thing that would be a pain.
[05:44] ---
    "Interim Test
    July 4th to 6th"
[05:46] ---
    Ugh! With the excitement around the
    baseball game I forgot all about this.
[05:50] ---
    Hello, rival.
[05:52] ---
    I suffered defeat to you by a mere
    five points on the midterm test,
[05:57] ---
    but this time, I'll be
    better than you. Be prepared.
[06:00] ---
    You fool!
[06:02] ---
    I caught a cold and wasn't feeling
    well during the midterm test!
[06:06] ---
    Otherwise...
[06:07] ---
    Such excuses won't work
    for tests or ball games.
[06:11] ---
    OK, then how about this?
[06:13] ---
    Should you lose, you will consent
    to me taking Otomi out on a date.
[06:20] ---
    And if you lose?
[06:22] ---
    I'll introduce you to my little sister.
[06:24] ---
    She just entered elementary school this year!
[06:27] ---
    In any case, as a stepbrother
    I have no such right.
[06:30] ---
    Then... real brother!
[06:35] ---
    How about it?
[06:38] ---
    Go ahead.
[06:40] ---
    --What?
    --OK! It's decided!
[06:43] ---
    What?
[06:50] ---
    Hey. I don't understand this question.
[06:54] ---
    Hm?
[06:57] ---
    Where's Sou?
[06:58] ---
    He's taking a bath.
[07:00] ---
    Is that so?
[07:01] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:02] ---
    Then never mind.
[07:10] ---
    What are you doing?
[07:11] ---
    Can't you tell by looking?
[07:13] ---
    I'm studying for a test! A test!
[07:17] ---
    Oh? Oh?
[07:21] ---
    What's the meaning of saying "oh" twice?!
[07:23] ---
    Good luck.
[07:24] ---
    And what's with that grin?!
[07:27] ---
    I wasn't grinning.
[07:28] ---
    You were grinning.
[07:29] ---
    No I wasn't.
[07:30] ---
    What's with you?!
[07:32] ---
    --What's with that smile?!
    --Those two can be so noisy.
[07:35] ---
    That day, gift cards for books were
    handed out to all baseball club members.
[07:40] ---
    It was from the OB Chairman and Nikaidou
    Electric Company President to commemorate
[07:44] ---
    the team making it to the Tokyo Tournament
    for the first time in 20 years.
[07:48] ---
    The gift card was appreciated...
[07:48] ---
    "Congratulations! Tokyo
    Tournament Participant"
[07:50] ---
    When the test is over,
    I'll buy comics and throw this away.
[07:59] ---
    Darn it. He's not worried at all.
[08:17] ---
    I'm returning your test.
[08:19] ---
    Wow.
[08:20] ---
    You guessed right, did you?
[08:22] ---
    When I do, I really score.
[08:28] ---
    We're comparing total score.
[08:30] ---
    What did you get, Touma?
[08:32] ---
    How dare you! Don't avoid me by sleeping!
[08:35] ---
    I'll add up the score so give me that!
[08:38] ---
    As always, I will now announce
    the top five students.
[08:42] ---
    Number one, Souichirou Tachibana.
[08:47] ---
    Number two, Chie Komatsu.
[08:51] ---
    Huh! Never mind the top five.
[08:55] ---
    Number five, Touma Tachibana.
[08:57] ---
    Like I said, never mind...
[08:59] ---
    Huh?
[09:02] ---
    Huh?
[09:10] ---
    Tou!
[09:11] ---
    Dinner's ready! Tou!
[09:15] ---
    Hey!
[09:16] ---
    Let him sleep.
[09:18] ---
    He was putting all of his energy into it.
[09:21] ---
    Huh?
[09:22] ---
    Our uniform number 1 has great
    concentration and tenacity,
[09:27] ---
    but he doesn't come close to Touma.
[09:30] ---
    I don't really get what you're saying,
[09:33] ---
    but you are praising Touma, right?
[09:36] ---
    Yeah.
[09:37] ---
    Then that's fine.
[09:42] ---
    Get lots of rest.
[09:44] ---
    Ace pitcher.
[09:50] ---
    Now that interim tests are over,
    summer vacation will arrive shortly.
[09:55] ---
    And the Tokyo Tournament
    will also begin shortly.
[10:05] ---
    Hey, what's going on?
[10:08] ---
    He's not even coming out for
    his usual one-hour practices lately.
[10:12] ---
    Our uniform number 1.
[10:14] ---
    I guess he's satisfied enough
    just with winning the block.
[10:17] ---
    It didn't seem that way.
[10:20] ---
    Well, that's fine.
[10:21] ---
    I'd be more than happy
    if he decides to retire now!!
[10:26] ---
    I can't imagine that, either.
[10:29] ---
    What'll we do?!
[10:31] ---
    There's little time before the
    first match of the Tokyo Tournament.
[10:34] ---
    Don't worry!
[10:35] ---
    Trust our manager!!
[10:37] ---
    No matter the situation,
    our manager has things under control!!
[10:43] ---
    Are you done with your sarcasm?
[10:46] ---
    Souichirou. Here's a DVD
    on the first round opponent.
[10:49] ---
    In any case, we depend on you
    leading the game. I'm counting on you.
[10:54] ---
    What kind of team is it?
[10:57] ---
    A strong team.
[10:59] ---
    "Taking a bath
    Do not peek!"
[11:08] ---
    Seriously, I'm not gonna peek!
[11:11] ---
    Darn.
[11:15] ---
    How is the offense of our opponent?
[11:18] ---
    We can beat this team.
[11:21] ---
    If you're pitching, that is.
[11:25] ---
    But hitting against them
    is a different matter.
[11:31] ---
    What is this curve?
[11:34] ---
    It's top class.
[11:36] ---
    And his fastball...
[11:38] ---
    ...is fast.
[11:40] ---
    Ace pitcher Takumi Nishimura,
    an eighth grader.
[11:42] ---
    He's hardly been scored
    upon during the preliminaries.
[11:48] ---
    So? Think we can win the first round?
[11:51] ---
    Yeah. If Touma is pitching, that is.
[11:54] ---
    Oh? So they're strong.
[11:58] ---
    Yeah. They're strong.
[12:13] ---
    The day before the match.
[12:17] ---
    Nikaidou has finally shown up.
[12:20] ---
    Yeah.
[12:21] ---
    Without a single word of apology.
[12:36] ---
    Huh? Our ace pitcher has already left.
[12:39] ---
    Yeah.
[12:41] ---
    Without a single word of apology.
[12:44] ---
    Sou!
[12:46] ---
    How did our uniform number 1 do?
[12:51] ---
    No speed or movement on his ball.
[12:52] ---
    That's no different from usual.
[12:54] ---
    Even worse than usual.
[12:56] ---
    Darn it. The guy's taking
    baseball too lightly.
[13:00] ---
    Guys, be delighted!
[13:02] ---
    We have some cold sports drinks.
[13:04] ---
    They're from our OB Chairman Nikaidou.
[13:07] ---
    Accept it with appreciation.
[13:08] ---
    --Yes sir!
    --Darn it. The guy's taking baseball too lightly.
[13:13] ---
    "Tokyo Junior High School
    Baseball Tournament"
[13:15] ---
    The Tokyo Tournament has begun.
[13:19] ---
    
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[13:23] ---
    Huh? You'd like me to?
[13:25] ---
    Manager!
[13:26] ---
    I'm counting on you, Yasuno.
[13:28] ---
    Manager!
[13:29] ---
    Otomi!
[13:31] ---
    It seems like our ace hasn't arrived yet.
[13:34] ---
    So both teams are starting
    with backup pitchers.
[13:37] ---
    But our situations are completely different!
[13:39] ---
    That team's resting their ace pitcher
    because they see us as weak!
[13:43] ---
    Don't take it out on me.
[13:45] ---
    Anyway, let's score as many
    as we can before the devil arrives.
[13:50] ---
    Argh!
[13:50] ---
    "Batting First, Third Baseman Tachibana (Touma)"
    "Grade Eight"
[13:51] ---
    Hopeless manager and hopeless ace pitcher!
[13:57] ---
    Safe!
[13:58] ---
    He's cool even when he's angry.
[14:03] ---
    After the second batter sacrifices
    Touma to second--
[14:05] ---
    Batting third, Souichirou Tachibana.
[14:08] ---
    And batting cleanup, Tadashi Imagawa.
[14:14] ---
    
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[14:16] ---
    All right! Striking first in great style!
[14:22] ---
    
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[14:24] ---
    They've tied it up in no time.
[14:31] ---
    
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[14:33] ---
    They've taken the lead in no time.
[14:36] ---
    Don't worry about it, Yasuno.
[14:38] ---
    You're pitching low,
    so there have been no extra-base hits.
[14:41] ---
    They won't be scoring too many runs.
[14:43] ---
    OK! We're batting from
    the top of the order this inning!
[14:47] ---
    You can do it, Touma!
[14:49] ---
    Yeah!
[14:51] ---
    Two...
[14:53] ---
    ...for two!
[14:54] ---
    Yeah!
[14:56] ---
    Unlike Sou, that older
    brother is kind of noisy.
[15:01] ---
    With Tou, it's been building within him--
[15:03] ---
    this thing that he can only release
    when on the mound--for almost two years.
[15:09] ---
    After the second batter sacrifices,
    one out, runner on second.
[15:12] ---
    So who's batting second?
[15:15] ---
    "Batting Third, Catcher: Tachibana (Souichirou)"
    "Grade Eight"
[15:17] ---
    Come on! Sou!
[15:20] ---
    That guy's really popular.
[15:23] ---
    Four balls!
[15:24] ---
    If we let guys like that hit,
    it gives that team momentum.
[15:31] ---
    "Batting Fourth, First Baseman: Imagawa"
    "Grade Nine"
[15:32] ---
    How about guys like this?
[15:35] ---
    Don't take the cleanup lightly!
[15:40] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[15:44] ---
    Two out, runners on first and second.
[15:46] ---
    I'm one for two. That's pretty good.
[15:53] ---
    "Batting Fifth, Right Fielder: Koma"
    "Grade Eight"
[15:54] ---
    Huh?
[15:59] ---
    
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[16:03] ---
    Pitcher change.
[16:18] ---
    "Takumi Nishimura"
[16:27] ---
    "Batting Sixth, Second Baseman: Murotani"
    "Grade Nine"
[16:27] ---
    OK!
[16:31] ---
    Strike out on three pitches.
[16:34] ---
    This is turning out to be
    a fun game, for a change.
[16:37] ---
    Yeah.
[16:38] ---
    Thanks to someone not being here.
[16:55] ---
    Three outs! Change sides!
[16:59] ---
    I told you. They won't
    be scoring too many runs.
[17:02] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[17:04] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[17:06] ---
    For two innings in a row,
    we had three hits and one run.
[17:10] ---
    Talk about inefficient offense.
[17:12] ---
    We'll be leading shortly.
    Even if we scored one at a time.
[17:16] ---
    Mhm.
[17:19] ---
    We're taking turns scoring.
    This game's bad for the heart.
[17:24] ---
    I agree.
[17:25] ---
    Don't worry. We'll be fine.
[17:32] ---
    Three strikeouts in a row.
[17:34] ---
    Getting runs won't be easy from here on.
[17:44] ---
    Good!
[17:46] ---
    It's all right!
[17:48] ---
    He didn't hit it squarely.
[17:49] ---
    B-But our lead is just one run.
[17:52] ---
    Exactly!
[17:53] ---
    We're leading! By one run!
[17:56] ---
    In the Tokyo Tournament!
[17:58] ---
    Also, you started in a game, Yasuno!
[18:01] ---
    Y-You're right. What a surprise.
[18:04] ---
    So, that's our situation. Carry on.
[18:12] ---
    "Batting Third, Catcher: Takeuchi"
    "Grade Nine"
[18:19] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[18:25] ---
    
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[18:28] ---
    That's unthinkable.
[18:30] ---
    With a pitch like that?!
    Get me out on three pitches?!
[18:33] ---
    Against me, the cleanup batter!
[18:36] ---
    Well?!
[18:37] ---
    It was because you thought that, Takeuchi.
[18:40] ---
    Huh?
[18:42] ---
    Souichirou Tachibana.
[18:46] ---
    I wish they would trade our catcher for him.
[18:49] ---
    Huh?! Did you say something, Nishimura?!
[19:03] ---
    The Tachibana brothers, huh?
[19:10] ---
    Strike!
[19:13] ---
    Foul!
[19:17] ---
    Foul!
[19:18] ---
    Touma! Don't swing at anything off the plate!
[19:20] ---
    OK!
[19:25] ---
    You fool.
[19:27] ---
    He's been waiting for my fastball all along.
[19:30] ---
    He figured me out.
[19:31] ---
    In that case, I'll have to...
[19:35] ---
    Ugh!
[19:38] ---
    Darn it!
[19:40] ---
    Safe!
[19:41] ---
    I want a trade.
[19:43] ---
    What?!
[19:47] ---
    What's he looking at?
[19:56] ---
    When?
[19:56] ---
    Just this moment.
[19:58] ---
    No way.
[19:59] ---
    Sure he'll put him in. He's our ace pitcher.
[20:02] ---
    Second batter, sacrifice bunt.
[20:06] ---
    But fails.
[20:08] ---
    Batting third, catcher. Souichirou Tachibana.
[20:12] ---
    Yay! My dear Sou!
[20:14] ---
    Don't want a catcher
    who's too popular with the girls.
[20:18] ---
    He seems to be in a bad mood.
[20:21] ---
    Not that I care.
[20:26] ---
    A double play.
[20:28] ---
    That's unusual, for the always cool Sou.
[20:32] ---
    Maybe that's because...
[20:35] ---
    Announcing a player change
    for Meisei Junior High School.
[20:38] ---
    Coming in for pitcher Yasuno is Nikaidou.
[20:43] ---
    --Ninth in the batting order, Nikaidou.
    --Yeah, that would be why.
[20:47] ---
    We've been waiting for you, ace!
[20:50] ---
    Go get them, young man!
[20:57] ---
    "Batting Fourth, Pitcher: Nishimura"
    "Grade Eight"
[21:07] ---
    Strike!
[21:08] ---
    Wonderful!
[21:09] ---
    Way to go, ace!
[21:14] ---
    Is that guy your ace pitcher?
[21:16] ---
    No. He just wears the number 1 uniform.
[21:19] ---
    Unlike the ace of your team.
[21:22] ---
    I'm convinced.
[21:24] ---
    I do want a trade.
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Hey. I'm sure I've seen
    that Nishimura guy before.
[23:30] ---
    Where have you seen him?
[23:32] ---
    Something on TV from long ago.
[23:34] ---
    That anime where a bread-faced
    hero punches him?
[23:36] ---
    No.
[23:37] ---
    The one where you collect seven
    and your wishes are granted!
[23:39] ---
    Stop it!
[23:41] ---
    Next time, "You're a Pitcher, Right?"
[23:42] ---
    "You're a Pitcher, Right?"
[23:44] ---
    Oh. I remember.
[23:46] ---

[00:09] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[00:12] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:15] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:19] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:21] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:24] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:27] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:41] ---
    This isn't good!
[02:56] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[03:02] ---
    "You're a Pitcher, Right?"
[03:08] ---
    Thanks to our ace pitcher,
    we got out of that jam.
[03:11] ---
    He was just lucky.
[03:13] ---
    Even after that home run,
    every one of those could've been hits.
[03:17] ---
    It's a miracle that he gave up only one run.
[03:21] ---
    Are you the one behind the second
    baseman's frequent defensive shift?
[03:26] ---
    The shift was only effective
    until the previous inning.
[03:29] ---
    His ball movement and
    speed are both the worst.
[03:32] ---
    The way Nikaidou is pitching today,
    any one of our backup pitchers would do better.
[03:37] ---
    Just answer what I ask you.
[03:41] ---
    It's a brand new ball game, that's all!
[03:44] ---
    Our ace against their ace.
    The game begins here.
[03:46] ---
    Got that?
[03:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:48] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[03:49] ---
    Batting fourth, Imagawa.
[03:54] ---
    Batting fifth, Koma.
[03:57] ---
    Batting sixth, Murotani.
[04:00] ---
    Three up...
[04:03] ---
    ...three down.
[04:45] ---
    What is that guy doing?
[04:48] ---
    Hurry with your warm-up pitches.
[04:59] ---
    What now?!
[05:07] ---
    Wow, I had no idea.
[05:10] ---
    When did you get remarried
    to that beautiful lady, Eisuke?
[05:13] ---
    Huh?
[05:15] ---
    Seven years ago.
[05:20] ---
    We're friends. Why didn't you let me know?
[05:26] ---
    Give me a break!
[05:27] ---
    How'd you expect me to get in
    touch with someone on the run
[05:30] ---
    who owes money to multiple sources!
[05:32] ---
    Here you are.
[05:33] ---
    I've added extra for interest.
[05:37] ---
    What have you been up to lately?
[05:39] ---
    That's a secret.
[05:41] ---
    Don't tell me this money...!
[05:42] ---
    Don't worry. It's nothing illegal.
[05:47] ---
    Is that the late husband
    of your current wife?
[05:51] ---
    Yeah.
[05:52] ---
    I've seen him before.
[05:54] ---
    It's Sawai.
[05:56] ---
    By Sawai, you mean that Sawai?
[05:59] ---
    Yeah.
[06:00] ---
    Sawai, from two grades below us.
[06:04] ---
    Having said that,
[06:05] ---
    I thought it better not to ask
    too much about her late husband.
[06:10] ---
    I learned about it after I married her.
[06:14] ---
    Oh?
[06:15] ---
    Your wife must've been surprised.
[06:18] ---
    No.
[06:20] ---
    My wife doesn't seem to
    know anything about it.
[06:25] ---
    Apparently, Sawai rarely
    talked about his high school days.
[06:31] ---
    I see.
[06:35] ---
    Well, not that I don't get how he felt.
[06:41] ---
    Oh?
[06:42] ---
    Are you leaving already?
[06:44] ---
    I bought some beer
    because I thought you'd run out.
[06:47] ---
    Oh? Really?
[06:48] ---
    In that case...
[06:50] ---
    Oops.
[06:52] ---
    Here. Take these home and drink it there.
[06:55] ---
    Oh? Why, thank you.
[07:03] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[07:05] ---
    They only made it to
    the third round this year, too.
[07:07] ---
    Yeah.
[07:09] ---
    Even after being fortunate
    to face weak opponents.
[07:15] ---
    Oh, one other thing, Eisuke.
[07:18] ---
    Huh?
[07:19] ---
    Can you lend me some money
    for my train fare home?
[07:22] ---
    Huh? How much do you need?
[07:24] ---
    Thirty thousand yen.
[07:25] ---
    What?! How far do you plan to go by train?!
[07:28] ---
    Oh. I currently live in Kyushu.
[07:31] ---
    I don't have such money!
[07:32] ---
    There's the money I returned moments ago.
[07:35] ---
    Why did you come here, then?!
[07:39] ---
    See you!
[07:41] ---
    Never come again!
[07:43] ---
    Oh!
[07:44] ---
    But return the money!
[07:49] ---
    Boy, look at the time.
[07:52] ---
    Even if I go now, the game will be over.
[07:55] ---
    He couldn't have come at
    a worse time! That dumbass!
[08:00] ---
    Mr. Ooyama, was it?
[08:03] ---
    Yeah. Gorou Ooyama.
[08:06] ---
    He used to be our captain
    back when we played.
[08:08] ---
    The sumo wrestling club?
[08:09] ---
    Baseball club!
[09:16] ---
    Argh!
[09:18] ---
    What business did that
    pitcher have taking the mound?!
[09:20] ---
    Or rather, what's that manager thinking?!
[09:23] ---
    H-Hey, Otomi...
[09:25] ---
    That man's glaring at you with a scary look.
[09:32] ---
    Blah!
[09:33] ---
    H-Hey, Otomi.
[09:40] ---
    It was a pretty good game, wasn't it?
[09:44] ---
    Yeah.
[09:45] ---
    Until moments ago.
[09:50] ---
    --Manager!
    --We're playing a game.
[09:51] ---
    If you wanna talk, do it after the game.
[09:55] ---
    Yes.
[09:57] ---
    By the beginning of the final inning,
[10:00] ---
    there was no "number 1 uniform"
    on the Meisei bench.
[10:13] ---
    Nice pitching!
[10:14] ---
    Yup. And we're done here.
[10:17] ---
    Win, and express joy to the fullest.
[10:24] ---
    Lose, and show frustration from deep within.
[10:28] ---
    That's the sort of player I wish to be.
[10:32] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[10:32] ---
    OK, it's time to go home.
[11:05] ---
    Hey!
[11:06] ---
    Don't just lie there!
    How am I supposed to clean the place?!
[11:09] ---
    Stop it! You're stretching my T-shirt!
[11:21] ---
    Wanna go out for another run, Touma?
[11:23] ---
    Sure.
[11:26] ---
    If you want a workout that bad,
    why not attend practice?
[11:31] ---
    No way!
[11:32] ---
    If we met that manager now,
[11:34] ---
    who knows what we'd do?!
[11:37] ---
    Hmm... I do get how you feel.
[11:42] ---
    But what'll you do from now on?
[11:44] ---
    We've been thinking a lot about it!
[11:46] ---
    Right, Sou?
[11:47] ---
    Yeah!
[11:48] ---
    A lot about what?
[11:52] ---
    Coming!
[11:56] ---
    Good after--
[11:59] ---
    Nishimura.
[12:01] ---
    Oh, Tachibana brothers.
[12:03] ---
    I'm surprised you found out where we live.
[12:06] ---
    I asked in the neighborhood
    and found out right away.
[12:09] ---
    Home of remarried couple, each with kids.
[12:11] ---
    The two sons are in the same grade.
[12:13] ---
    They have a sister, one year younger.
[12:16] ---
    Is that girl your sister?
[12:20] ---
    Yeah.
[12:21] ---
    She's cute.
[12:22] ---
    I hear you didn't make it past
    the semifinals at the Tokyo Tournament.
[12:26] ---
    Yeah.
[12:27] ---
    We missed a chance at the
    Kanto Tournament after coming so close.
[12:30] ---
    Although the reason is very clear.
[12:33] ---
    What's the reason?
[12:34] ---
    I've never been blessed with a good catcher.
[12:39] ---
    Her name?
[12:40] ---
    Huh?
[12:41] ---
    Your younger sister.
[12:44] ---
    Otomi.
[12:45] ---
    She's cute.
[12:46] ---
    And? Why did you come to see us?
[12:48] ---
    Would you be interested
    in meeting my dad today?
[12:52] ---
    If you're serious about making it to Koshien,
[12:55] ---
    your current situation won't do!
[12:57] ---
    Seinan High School represented
    the area in the Spring Tournament.
[13:00] ---
    My dad is the current manager of the team.
[13:03] ---
    Team up with me and lets go to Koshien.
[13:05] ---
    In fact, we'll aim to be national champions!
[13:07] ---
    I have no intention of leaving Touma.
[13:10] ---
    That's perfect.
[13:11] ---
    My dad's also looking for
    a good third baseman.
[13:15] ---
    Anyway, come and take a look at Seinan.
[13:18] ---
    You'll start dreaming bigger!
[13:20] ---
    What do you think?
[13:21] ---
    Well, we have been thinking a lot about it.
[13:24] ---
    And we have nothing else to do.
[13:25] ---
    OK, then it's decided.
[13:27] ---
    Perhaps your sister would also--
[13:28] ---
    She's not going!
[13:44] ---
    What's there?
[13:46] ---
    Oh, that's Kenjyou High School.
[13:48] ---
    It used to be called Sumi Tech,
[13:50] ---
    but its name changed a few years ago.
[13:52] ---
    That's the opponent
    Meisei High School faced in the final
[13:56] ---
    the year they made it to Koshien, right?
[13:58] ---
    Though they're now no more than participants.
[14:00] ---
    Both baseball teams.
[14:04] ---
    Come on! This way!
[14:08] ---
    "Seinan High School Baseball Team"
[14:18] ---
    Excuse me!
[14:20] ---
    Is my dad... ah, is the manager around?
[14:23] ---
    Oh. He's observing the
    pitching practice area.
[14:31] ---
    Dad!
[14:32] ---
    Hm?
[14:33] ---
    Hi.
[14:35] ---
    I brought some guys today
    that I wanted you to meet.
[14:39] ---
    The Tachibana brothers of Meisei, are you?
[14:43] ---
    Huh? Do you know them?
[14:45] ---
    Coach Kamata was awfully
    enthusiastic about you.
[14:48] ---
    He had been scouting you quite a bit.
[14:50] ---
    Oh.
[14:51] ---
    I'm sorry about the summer tournament.
[14:54] ---
    The final four, was it?
[14:56] ---
    Yeah.
[14:57] ---
    Winning the Tokyo Tournament is hard.
[15:00] ---
    Although the reason is very clear.
[15:05] ---
    It was painfully clear
    at the Spring Tournament, too.
[15:09] ---
    We still don't have an
    ace pitcher or main catcher.
[15:15] ---
    Just wait two more years.
[15:17] ---
    Then, your best battery in
    Seinan's history will have arrived!
[15:21] ---
    Are both brothers coming?
[15:23] ---
    He's a great third baseman.
[15:25] ---
    --He runs fast, and his throwing arm--
    --You're a pitcher, right?
[15:32] ---
    And I hear you're as good as my son.
[15:37] ---
    Huh?
[15:39] ---
    I was told that if we got you to join Seinan,
[15:41] ---
    my son may not be able
    to wear the number 1 uniform,
[15:44] ---
    so I should pass on it.
[15:46] ---
    By whom?
[15:48] ---
    Your... Meisei's manager.
[15:52] ---
    Huh?
[15:54] ---
    Well, though I don't really
    believe anything a manager
[15:58] ---
    with no achievements or talent says.
[16:00] ---
    That manager has a really bad reputation.
[16:03] ---
    Doesn't surprise me.
[16:07] ---
    Show me a pitch.
[16:08] ---
    One pitch will be enough to tell.
[16:10] ---
    Because I have both achievements and talent.
[16:14] ---
    That's what he says.
[16:18] ---
    Can I ask you one question?
[16:21] ---
    What is it?
[16:22] ---
    Depending on talent,
[16:24] ---
    would you consider giving the
    ace number to anyone other than your son?
[16:30] ---
    Did you hear that, Takumi?
[16:32] ---
    Listen carefully!
[16:34] ---
    There's no such thing as
    a pitcher more skilled than my son!
[16:38] ---
    That's what any manager
    coaching his son would say.
[16:52] ---
    How was that?!
[16:54] ---
    Oh, just a moment!
[16:56] ---
    One more! One more pitch!
[16:58] ---
    I suggest you get a different catcher.
[17:00] ---
    Huh?
[17:03] ---
    Yamakura!
[17:04] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:28] ---
    I agree, it does appear that you need
    to address the issue about catchers.
[17:33] ---
    Right?
[17:35] ---
    Sorry, Nishimura.
[17:37] ---
    I want to see him wearing
    the number 1 uniform.
[17:41] ---
    While on the same team.
[17:43] ---
    Also...
[17:45] ---
    We've had enough with doting fathers.
[17:50] ---
    I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
    Give it up, Takumi.
[17:54] ---
    In the first place, I
    hate Meisei High School.
[17:57] ---
    I feel sick just looking at that uniform.
[18:01] ---
    Having said that, ever
    since I became manager,
[18:05] ---
    I haven't lost a single game to them.
[18:11] ---
    They've become such a pathetically weak team.
[18:15] ---
    It's a shame.
[18:18] ---
    Let's go home, Touma.
[18:20] ---
    Yeah.
[19:30] ---
    Why now, after all these years?
[19:32] ---
    I'm reminded of Uesugi
    after seeing him pitch.
[19:37] ---
    Tachibana!
[19:41] ---
    Let me say one thing!
[19:44] ---
    What is it?!
[19:48] ---
    What kanji characters are
    used in Otomi's name?
[19:59] ---
    That guy's pretty skilled.
[20:01] ---
    And his father, too.
[20:03] ---
    Yeah.
[20:04] ---
    They've become such a pathetically weak team.
[20:08] ---
    You know...
[20:09] ---
    Hm?
[20:10] ---
    It peeves me when someone else says it.
[20:12] ---
    Says what?
[20:15] ---
    When they bad-mouth Meisei.
[20:19] ---
    But I must say I was surprised.
[20:22] ---
    To hear that our manager said
    you're a better pitcher than Nishimura.
[20:26] ---
    I wonder if it's true.
[20:28] ---
    I think that would be
    the last thing he'd ever say.
[20:31] ---
    Yeah.
[20:32] ---
    It doesn't sound like words coming
    from a man trying to domesticate us.
[20:36] ---
    Well, whatever the case, that was absurd!
[20:38] ---
    The game the other day! How he managed it!
[20:41] ---
    There's no excuse for that!
    No matter how you cut it!
[20:45] ---
    I agree.
[20:46] ---
    Unless, for instance, that was
    Nikaidou's last time taking the mound.
[20:51] ---
    It is his last!
    It's his last summer in junior high!
[20:57] ---
    No.
[20:58] ---
    That's not what I mean.
[21:00] ---
    What I mean by last...
[21:16] ---
    That no-good manager of the baseball team.
[21:22] ---
    "Tachibana"
[21:47] ---
    What kind of harassment is he up to?
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Spring is almost here!
[23:27] ---
    Spring means...
[23:28] ---
    Graduation ceremony.
[23:29] ---
    Rapeseed blossoms.
[23:30] ---
    Entrance ceremony.
[23:31] ---
    Butterbur.
[23:32] ---
    Cherry-blossom viewing.
[23:33] ---
    Rice cake wrapped in cherry leaf.
[23:34] ---
    Moving.
[23:35] ---
    Bamboo shoot.
[23:36] ---
    Girls' festival.
[23:37] ---
    Sumo mandarin.
[23:38] ---
    Spring Tournament.
[23:39] ---
    Spring cabbage.
[23:40] ---
    Hey, you've only mentioned food!
[23:42] ---
    "When Spring Arrives"
[23:42] ---
    Next time, "When Spring Arrives."
[23:45] ---
    Might I add, the season's first bonito?

[00:02] ---
    "Nikaidou"
[00:09] ---
    Hey!
[00:11] ---
    What are you doing?
[00:12] ---
    Ah, well...
[00:15] ---
    Has there been misfortune
    with this family lately?
[00:23] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:26] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:29] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:33] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:35] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:38] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:41] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:29] ---
    Blast it! That was needless worry!
[02:32] ---
    They say there was no misfortune
    with the Nikaidou family!
[02:36] ---
    Yeah. I hear it was a miracle.
[02:39] ---
    Hm?
[02:41] ---
    What was?
[02:42] ---
    Hmm...
[02:43] ---
    Hey!
[02:45] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[02:51] ---
    "Shirai General Hospital"
[02:54] ---
    "When Spring Arrives"
[03:01] ---
    A long, long time ago...
[03:03] ---
    ...that man's father was also
    a pitcher at Meisei High School.
[03:10] ---
    Although he would never wear
[03:12] ---
    the ace number during his six years
    in junior high and high school,
[03:16] ---
    his straightforward personality
    you wouldn't figure from his looks
[03:19] ---
    left countless memories
    over his six sweat-drenched years
[03:23] ---
    and a lifelong friendship.
[03:26] ---
    And...
[03:28] ---
    ...that talent would bloom after
    he took over his father's business,
[03:32] ---
    developing it into a
    well-established major company.
[03:35] ---
    His looks would result in some enemies,
[03:38] ---
    but those who know him well
    never say a bad word about him.
[03:42] ---
    Or so it is told.
[03:45] ---
    The love for his only
    child is all the greater
[03:47] ---
    as he was blessed with
    his son after he turned 40.
[03:50] ---
    When his son began playing
    baseball, he was so fond of him,
[03:55] ---
    that, unafraid of what others thought,
    he would brag that his son was a genius.
[03:59] ---
    Autumn of the year
    his son was in grade seven,
[04:01] ---
    they say he shed tears of joy seeing
    his son wear the number 1 uniform.
[04:06] ---
    Although the manager had been the
    man's best friend since they were students,
[04:10] ---
    believing in his son's abilities
    and never doubting them,
[04:14] ---
    the father thought nothing odd about this.
[04:17] ---
    Six months later, an abnormality
    was found in the son's heart.
[04:26] ---
    Now, for something different.
[04:33] ---
    Otomi has come to have some fun
    at the pool with her female friends.
[04:37] ---
    What do you want?
[04:42] ---
    This is Otomi, the younger sister.
[04:44] ---
    I'm asking you, what do you want?!
[04:46] ---
    Huh?
[04:47] ---
    Oh, Natsuno. What a coincidence.
[04:50] ---
    I went to your home,
    but only your mother was there.
[04:53] ---
    She told me you went to the pool.
[04:56] ---
    What do you want?
[04:58] ---
    Ah, well, actually
    I'm looking for your brothers.
[05:02] ---
    But since I heard you went to the pool...
[05:08] ---
    Oh, of course!
[05:10] ---
    The baseball manager suddenly quit!
[05:13] ---
    Huh?
[05:14] ---
    Without giving us a reason or anything!
[05:16] ---
    He bowed in apology, and that was it.
[05:19] ---
    Oh, and he wants us to ask
    Souichirou to be the new captain.
[05:24] ---
    Oh?
[05:25] ---
    In any case, please ask your brothers
    to visit the baseball grounds at once.
[05:30] ---
    OK. Bye.
[05:32] ---
    Oh! And also! I have free time today.
[05:37] ---
    OK. Bye.
[05:41] ---
    Huh?
[05:45] ---
    Hey!!
[05:49] ---
    They say it was a miracle.
[05:53] ---
    That was how grim the chances
    of the operation succeeding were.
[05:58] ---
    I hadn't thought about
    what to say if I failed to die.
[06:02] ---
    So, aside from your parents,
[06:04] ---
    only the manager was aware of this.
[06:08] ---
    You were badmouthing me a lot, I imagine.
[06:11] ---
    I was hoping you'd know the truth later,
[06:14] ---
    leaving a bad taste of regret
    that will linger for a lifetime.
[06:18] ---
    That is just annoying.
[06:20] ---
    Only my father believed
    the operation would go well.
[06:25] ---
    Why did you not believe your father?
[06:29] ---
    He's the same father
    who believed I was a genius.
[06:34] ---
    The best way to thank my father
    in the limited time I had
[06:37] ---
    was to stand on the mound wearing the
    number 1 uniform for as many games as possible.
[06:43] ---
    The best way to thank your father
    was not to die before him.
[06:49] ---
    Don't hate Manager Kuroyanagi.
[06:52] ---
    It was because I insisted,
[06:54] ---
    and because, as a friend,
    he refused to kill the dream
[06:57] ---
    of my father who believed I was
    ace material and never doubted me.
[07:01] ---
    I hear he took responsibility and quit.
[07:03] ---
    Yeah.
[07:04] ---
    I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen.
[07:07] ---
    I'm not going to apologize.
[07:09] ---
    Because I honestly thought
    I wouldn't survive.
[07:13] ---
    Pardon the self-indulgence of a dying man.
[07:16] ---
    Roger that.
[07:17] ---
    In return,
[07:18] ---
    I'm not apologizing for the extensive
    badmouthing I did about you.
[07:24] ---
    Roger that.
[07:32] ---
    What is it?
[07:33] ---
    There's another former
    Meisei High School pitcher
[07:36] ---
    who was never able to wear the ace number.
[07:45] ---
    Well, the biggest difference
    from Nikaidou's father
[07:49] ---
    is that he still remains
    a reserve as a member of society--
[07:52] ---
    Welcome home!
[07:54] ---
    I see he had good hearing and control.
[07:57] ---
    Ow!
[08:01] ---
    Where's Otomi?
[08:02] ---
    She hasn't returned from the pool yet.
[08:05] ---
    Pool? With whom?
[08:07] ---
    There's no need to worry.
[08:10] ---
    Yoshiko and her other friends came
    to pick her up, and they left together.
[08:13] ---
    What are you saying?!
[08:15] ---
    The pool's where you find a bunch of guys
    wearing nothing but swimming trunks!
[08:18] ---
    Well, naturally.
[08:20] ---
    Touma! You go and pick her up!
[08:22] ---
    Hey, it's still light outside.
[08:25] ---
    The sun will set in no time,
    and it will be pitch dark!
[08:28] ---
    What'll you do if something happens?!
[08:29] ---
    Are you gonna take responsibility?!
[08:31] ---
    If you're that worried, you go!
[08:34] ---
    I'm saying this because I accept
    you as Otomi's older brother!
[08:38] ---
    What I'm saying is,
    unlike how she appears, Otomi is...
[08:40] ---
    Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go!
[08:44] ---
    Darn. When it comes to Otomi...
[08:46] ---
    Hey, Tou! Where are you going?
[08:53] ---
    Give me a break! If you're home, then say so!
[09:02] ---
    You're Touma Tachibana, are you?
[09:04] ---
    Ah, yes.
[09:05] ---
    My son asked me to give you this.
[09:10] ---
    For just one game,
    the pitcher who becomes the next ace
[09:12] ---
    borrows the previous ace's number
[09:16] ---
    and then replaces it with
    a new number 1 label.
[09:19] ---
    That has been a tradition
    with the Meisei baseball club.
[09:23] ---
    Well, after my genius son
[09:26] ---
    I know this is going to add
    extreme pressure on you.
[09:29] ---
    No pressure at all.
[09:31] ---
    At the least, pitch so as not
    to shame that ace number.
[09:36] ---
    That's going to be easy!
[09:38] ---
    Please return it after one game without fail.
[09:41] ---
    Because that is a family treasure.
[09:44] ---
    I understand.
[09:46] ---
    I shall excuse myself.
[09:48] ---
    Oh, the operation.
[09:50] ---
    I'm glad it was a success.
[09:56] ---
    Mhm.
[10:03] ---
    If only they didn't look so scary.
[10:05] ---
    Father and son alike.
[10:13] ---
    Touma Tachibana.
    Fourteen years and two months.
[10:17] ---
    Meisei Junior High School
    baseball team, uniform number 1.
[10:25] ---
    Now...
[10:27] ---
    Thanks to Manager Kuroyanagi resigning
    without reason, explanation or excuse,
[10:34] ---
    many players who left the team
[10:35] ---
    after the Tokyo Tournament because
    they were fed up, never returned.
[10:40] ---
    "Meisei Junior High School"
[10:41] ---
    Add to that the fact that students
    in their final year of junior high,
[10:44] ---
    who were the largest group, left the team.
[10:45] ---
    "Team name"
    "Kamiishi"
    "Meisei"
[10:46] ---
    The Meisei Junior High School baseball team,
[10:50] ---
    the new team now consisting
    of just seventh and eighth graders,
[10:53] ---
    were an elite force
    with just enough club members!
[10:57] ---
    Of course...
[10:59] ---
    Don't rush it! You have plenty
    of time to get him out!
[11:06] ---
    Out!
[11:07] ---
    That doesn't mean all nine
    in the starting lineup are elite.
[11:11] ---
    Sou!
[11:14] ---
    Captain!
[11:16] ---
    Did you want me?
[11:18] ---
    You haven't given me
    a single sign for a fastball!
[11:21] ---
    You fool.
[11:22] ---
    How dare you!
[11:25] ---
    Your fastball won't even hit their bat.
[11:28] ---
    What?
[11:29] ---
    We need our players
    to practice fielding in a game.
[11:32] ---
    It's what the team needs the most.
[11:34] ---
    Our captain's good.
[11:36] ---
    I get it!
[11:37] ---
    Then I'll throw you a
    breaking ball that won't hit the bat!
[11:41] ---
    You fool.
[11:42] ---
    How dare you! Darn it!
[11:45] ---
    Your breaking ball is
    effective because of your fastball.
[11:49] ---
    Our captain's good.
[11:53] ---
    Manager!
[11:56] ---
    Manager!
[11:57] ---
    Huh?
[12:02] ---
    Do you understand the rules now?
[12:05] ---
    Amazing.
[12:05] ---
    "Substitute Manager: Shinichi
    Mikami" "54 years old"
[12:06] ---
    I had no idea there were so
    many baseball comics in this world.
[12:11] ---
    Their patience is going
    to be tested for a while.
[12:13] ---
    For the team and Touma personally.
[12:16] ---
    The new captain is saving face.
[12:18] ---
    For both me and my father.
[12:21] ---
    If an incredible ace were to suddenly appear,
    it would make us look bad.
[12:26] ---
    Can't you continue baseball
    once you're in high school?
[12:29] ---
    It took a miracle to allow me
    to be standing here.
[12:33] ---
    I can't continue being selfish, now can I?
[12:37] ---
    You're right.
[12:42] ---
    Good.
[12:43] ---
    I was waiting for that sign!
[12:49] ---
    You fool.
[12:56] ---
    Oops.
[12:58] ---
    If someone were to show us another miracle,
[13:01] ---
    it would likely be those two.
[13:04] ---
    Yeah.
[13:17] ---
    Before you know it, seasons change.
[13:29] ---
    Good luck! Go, go! Straight ahead!
[13:38] ---
    "Nishimura"
[13:39] ---
    How have the Tachibana brothers
    been doing since then?
[13:42] ---
    Oh?
[13:43] ---
    She's gotten even cuter.
[13:47] ---
    I'm talking about the brothers.
[13:50] ---
    Oh.
[13:51] ---
    I hear the younger brother's been
    throwing as their ace pitcher.
[13:57] ---
    Oh? Is that so?
[14:04] ---
    Strike!
[14:08] ---
    Oh! He was right.
[14:11] ---
    Otomi!
[14:15] ---
    It's been a while.
[14:19] ---
    Strike!
[14:20] ---
    Great!
[14:23] ---
    And who might you be?
[14:26] ---
    Next year, I'll be Seinan's
    first-year ace pitcher. I'm Nishi--
[14:30] ---
    Good! Fly out to the catcher!
[14:32] ---
    Awesome! No hits! No runs!
[14:36] ---
    Is this the first time
    he's thrown a no-hitter?
[14:39] ---
    What if it is?
[14:41] ---
    Oh, ah, congratulations.
[14:44] ---
    What do you want, Mr. Nishi?
[14:46] ---
    Ah, no, it's not Nishi--
[14:50] ---
    --That was great! Your brother's awesome!
    --Hey! Excuse me! It's not Nishi, but...
[14:53] ---
    "Akaoka"
    "Meisei"
[15:00] ---
    You should look happier.
[15:02] ---
    Even if I threw nine innings,
    it wouldn't be a record.
[15:05] ---
    That's correct!
[15:07] ---
    Don't get carried away
    with something little like this.
[15:11] ---
    Nishimura's made this kind of thing a habit.
[15:14] ---
    You can shut up!
[15:15] ---
    If it weren't for your two errors,
    I would've had a perfect game!
[15:19] ---
    You fool.
[15:20] ---
    Don't forget the two that would've been hits
[15:22] ---
    if I didn't make great plays on them.
[15:24] ---
    Those weren't great plays!
[15:26] ---
    Those were easy fly balls!
[15:30] ---
    Whatever the case...
[15:32] ---
    Thanks to their achievements at the
    Tokyo Tournament in their ninth grade year,
[15:35] ---
    "Tachibana"
[15:35] ---
    the Tachibana brothers
    have made a name for themselves.
[15:41] ---
    Tachibana!
[15:43] ---
    Captain!
[15:44] ---
    I'm now no more than a
    new member of the high school team.
[15:48] ---
    To me, you'll always be Captain.
[15:50] ---
    You came close at the Tokyo Tournament.
[15:53] ---
    If only that fool hadn't slammed the
    sliding door at the clubhouse on his fingers.
[15:59] ---
    You've gotta watch him,
    so he doesn't injure himself.
[16:01] ---
    Being the hasty type that he is.
[16:04] ---
    Imagawa! Hurry and bring the balls over!
[16:07] ---
    Right away!
[16:09] ---
    First year high schoolers have it tough.
[16:11] ---
    It's nothing,
[16:13] ---
    compared to the joy of looking
    forward to you guys joining next year.
[16:26] ---
    Oh! Sorry!
[16:37] ---
    You moving?
[16:38] ---
    Yes.
[16:39] ---
    Hey!
[16:40] ---
    What are you doing, Haruka? Get moving.
[16:45] ---
    "Gorou Ooyama"
[16:48] ---
    Yes!
[16:52] ---
    Thank you very much.
[16:55] ---
    "Haruka Ooyama"
[16:59] ---
    And then winter arrives...
[17:06] ---
    ...and they meet again.
[17:07] ---
    Cheers!
[17:09] ---
    The older man, that is.
[17:11] ---
    Hi. Here are the Tachibana brothers.
[17:16] ---
    He's a friend of my
    father's from high school.
[17:19] ---
    He's apparently here from Kyushu.
[17:21] ---
    He was captain of the baseball team.
[17:24] ---
    Then you were a member
    of Meisei's baseball team?
[17:26] ---
    He's no friend! How shameless!
[17:29] ---
    Will you pay back what you owe?!
[17:31] ---
    How rude! In front of your children!
[17:34] ---
    You must be really proud.
[17:36] ---
    You're the father of the
    storied Tachibana battery.
[17:39] ---
    Never mind that! Pay up!
[17:41] ---
    It's that neglectful attitude that
[17:43] ---
    results in your wife
    getting fed up and leaving you!
[17:46] ---
    How dare a reserve player
    talk back to your captain like that!
[17:50] ---
    Act like a captain after
    you've paid back the money you owe!
[17:53] ---
    Cheers!
[17:54] ---
    Pay it back!
[17:56] ---
    So, which is which? The brothers battery.
[18:00] ---
    The pitcher is my son
    and the catcher is Sawai's son.
[18:04] ---
    Oh.
[18:06] ---
    Hm?
[18:08] ---
    Are you... surprised?
[18:10] ---
    The parents are the parents.
    The kids are the kids. Right?
[18:15] ---
    I'm looking forward to you two.
[18:18] ---
    He says he has a daughter.
[18:20] ---
    She's entering the same
    high school you are from spring.
[18:26] ---
    Where is she now?
[18:27] ---
    She's still in Kyushu.
[18:29] ---
    Until she graduates from junior high.
[18:32] ---
    Oh, I see.
[18:34] ---
    My income will stabilize starting April.
[18:36] ---
    So please wait until then
    for me to pay you back.
[18:39] ---
    What work are you doing?
[18:41] ---
    Meisei High School baseball team manager.
[18:47] ---
    "Punch"
[18:50] ---
    Hey! It's started to snow
    because of your odd jokes!
[19:13] ---
    "Maruha Music School"
[19:14] ---
    Goodbye!
[19:20] ---
    Otomi!
[19:21] ---
    Oh! Touma!
[19:26] ---
    Hey, are you all right?
[19:28] ---
    That hurt!
[19:32] ---
    I can't walk.
[19:34] ---
    Carry me.
[19:36] ---
    Don't be so selfish. You had a harmless fall.
[19:39] ---
    Carry me!
[19:41] ---
    Stop fussing.
[19:44] ---
    That's amazing. It's all white in no time!
[19:48] ---
    Darn. Why must it snow like this in March?
[19:53] ---
    Which do you think it will be?
[19:55] ---
    Which what?
[19:56] ---
    Your and Sou's competition
    to become ace pitcher.
[20:00] ---
    The thing is,
[20:02] ---
    he's stronger competition
    than I had imagined.
[20:05] ---
    If it was my choice, I'd choose you, Touma.
[20:09] ---
    Why's that?
[20:10] ---
    Because you shine when you throw, Touma.
[20:15] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
[20:17] ---
    Also...
[20:19] ---
    Also?
[20:20] ---
    Because you carried me!
[20:23] ---
    Darn.
[20:27] ---
    This hill becomes dangerous
    when there's snow on the ground.
[20:30] ---
    And what's more dangerous
    than walking uphill...
[20:36] ---
    ...is walking downhill.
[20:38] ---
    See?
[20:40] ---
    It was a story of Touma's experience.
[20:43] ---
    Come to think of it, back then,
[20:45] ---
    I remember hearing a strange sound
[20:47] ---
    coming from Tou's boots.
[20:51] ---
    Walking this path on his way
    to pick me up, he had a bad fall here.
[20:55] ---
    He tore his nail off from his big toe,
[20:58] ---
    and the inside of his
    boot was soaked in blood.
[21:02] ---
    When we got home and I saw his toe,
[21:05] ---
    I cried out loud.
[21:07] ---
    Tou saw me cry and laughed,
[21:12] ---
    until a misunderstanding
    Sou quickly came and hit Tou.
[21:17] ---
    That's why Tou was able
    to become the ace pitcher.
[21:21] ---
    Not quite, I guess.
[21:22] ---
    Otomi!
[21:26] ---
    Where are you...
[21:32] ---
    Are you all right, Natsuno?
[21:33] ---
    I hope you didn't tear a nail.
[21:36] ---
    Huh?
[21:37] ---
    When spring arrives, then it's high school.
[21:41] ---
    You'll be grade nine.
[21:45] ---
    We will be, yes.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Apparently, Meisei High School
[23:26] ---
    became national champions
    in something other than Koshien.
[23:30] ---
    Yeah. Rhythmic gymnastics.
[23:32] ---
    I see. So that was it at the gymnasium.
[23:36] ---
    Hey, where are you going?
[23:37] ---
    I'm going out for a jog.
[23:39] ---
    Huh? Then me, too!
[23:40] ---
    The gymnasium's in that direction!
[23:42] ---
    "Worried?"
[23:43] ---
    Next time, "Worried?"
[23:45] ---
    Hey! Stop peeking!!
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"

    "Meisei High School"
[00:11] ---
    April...
[00:17] ---
    A new season...
[00:24] ---
    "Tachibana"
[00:41] ---
    Cross a single street,
    and there's the school.
[00:44] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[00:48] ---
    Sasaki.
[00:49] ---
    Here.
[00:50] ---
    Suzuki.
[00:51] ---
    Here.
[00:52] ---
    Sonoda.
[00:53] ---
    Here.
[00:54] ---
    Tachibana.
[00:55] ---
    "Don't run in the halls!!"
[00:58] ---
    Tachibana...
[00:59] ---
    Here!
[01:00] ---
    If you're not in your
    seat when you're called,
[01:02] ---
    then I'll mark you late.
[01:04] ---
    Also...
[01:05] ---
    Finish your breakfast at home.
[01:08] ---
    That's all.
[01:09] ---
    Yes, sir.
[01:14] ---
    Darn, I guess I need more
    than a minute to get here.
[01:17] ---
    There's no helping it.
[01:18] ---
    Starting tomorrow,
    I'll leave two minutes before the bell.
[01:22] ---
    Oops.
[01:38] ---
    Here.
[01:40] ---
    Thanks...
[01:47] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[01:50] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:53] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:57] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:59] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[02:02] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[02:05] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:54] ---
    Hey, Ooyama, your junior high was in Kyushu?
[03:57] ---
    Whereabouts in Kyushu?
[03:59] ---
    Have you decided what club you'll join?
[04:01] ---
    Do you read Get the Sun?
[04:02] ---
    It's on sale now.
[04:16] ---
    Nan!
[04:19] ---
    "Nan"
[04:20] ---
    "Shirou Nangou"
[04:30] ---
    Kyushu...? Ooyama...?
[04:33] ---
    Hey, could you be...
[04:43] ---
    Never mind. Don't want any trouble.
[04:46] ---
    "Worried?"
[04:53] ---
    Did you hear, Souichirou?
[04:54] ---
    About the Class A student from Kyushu--
[04:56] ---
    You should refrain from acting rashly.
[05:00] ---
    Haruka Ooyama.
[05:02] ---
    The daughter of the high school
    baseball club's new manager.
[05:06] ---
    The manager's daughter?
[05:07] ---
    Yeah. If you make a pass recklessly,
[05:11] ---
    the path to becoming
    a regular will become longer.
[05:15] ---
    Don't worry, Souichirou.
[05:17] ---
    No matter what beautiful girl appears,
[05:18] ---
    I'll always stay true to Otomi.
[05:21] ---
    Besides...
[05:22] ---
    Besides?
[05:23] ---
    I was talking about the boy
    from Kyushu in Class A.
[05:27] ---
    Boy?
[05:33] ---
    Shirou Nangou.
[05:35] ---
    Apparently, he's idolized
    that old man since junior high,
[05:40] ---
    so even though famous
    baseball clubs wanted him,
[05:42] ---
    he followed the old man to Tokyo.
[05:46] ---
    He wanted to play high school baseball
    under him no matter what.
[06:05] ---
    Is the one he was following
[06:07] ---
    really that old man?
[06:12] ---
    "That old man"
[06:15] ---
    "Meisei Junior High School"
[06:16] ---
    This is the junior high school.
[06:25] ---
    Are you watching, Otomi?
[06:27] ---
    The pitching of the new team's number one,
[06:29] ---
    Ichiban Natsuno!
[06:34] ---
    Here!
[06:36] ---
    Unlike last year,
[06:37] ---
    you aren't looking outside
    at all recently, huh, Tachibana?
[06:42] ---
    Yes, thanks to your instruction.
[06:44] ---
    Now, let's start again from the top.
[06:54] ---
    But man, that manager makes us run a lot.
[06:59] ---
    My legs are killing me.
[07:01] ---
    We weren't worked
    hard enough in junior high.
[07:05] ---
    Anyway, did you talk about anything?
[07:09] ---
    With whom?
[07:10] ---
    With the daughter of that manager
    who makes us run so much.
[07:15] ---
    You're in the same class, right?
[07:16] ---
    Yeah.
[07:17] ---
    But I don't think a single boy
    in our class talked to her properly.
[07:23] ---
    What do you mean?
[07:31] ---
    So that's what you mean.
[07:33] ---
    That's what I mean.
[07:35] ---
    Now, let's go home.
[07:36] ---
    We're leaving first.
[07:38] ---
    Make sure you lock up,
[07:39] ---
    Nan.
[07:44] ---
    Nan?
[07:45] ---
    That's what the manager's
    daughter called him.
[07:47] ---
    Help...!
[07:51] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:52] ---
    Th-There's a cockroach!
[07:54] ---
    Huh?
[07:58] ---
    Okay, it's dead.
[07:59] ---
    Th-Th-Throw it away outside!
[08:01] ---
    Okay.
[08:06] ---
    See ya, Nan.
[08:13] ---
    I was wondering what all the fuss was about.
[08:16] ---
    Speaking of which,
[08:19] ---
    that was the first time I heard his voice.
[08:20] ---
    It was cracking.
[08:22] ---
    Cross a single street, and they're home.
[08:27] ---
    --I'm home.
    --I'm home.
[08:30] ---
    Man, I'm starving.
[08:31] ---
    Before you eat, go wash the
    hand you touched the cockroach with.
[08:35] ---
    Okay, okay.
[08:40] ---
    Oh, Sou.
[08:41] ---
    Right now, the manager's
    daughter's using the bath,
[08:45] ---
    so don't open the door to the bathroom.
[09:00] ---
    Our bath is broken,
    but the landlord won't fix it.
[09:05] ---
    Sorry, ma'am.
[09:07] ---
    We just came to say hi
    but ended up using your bath.
[09:11] ---
    It's fine.
[09:12] ---
    Don't you use it, though.
[09:15] ---
    Don't worry,
    I went to the bathhouse yesterday.
[09:30] ---
    What is it?
[09:31] ---
    Did you see?
[09:32] ---
    See what?
[09:33] ---
    Don't play dumb!
[09:34] ---
    You opened the door to the bathroom, right?
[09:36] ---
    She was in the bath, right?
[09:38] ---
    No, she was coming out.
[09:40] ---
    What?! Then, don't tell me--
[09:43] ---
    He just missed the show.
[09:44] ---
    I'd already put on my panties.
[09:48] ---
    P-P-P...
[09:51] ---
    ...unch?
[09:54] ---
    Besides, he closed the door right away,
[09:57] ---
    so he didn't really see anything. Right?
[10:00] ---
    No, this guy's dynamic vision
    is first or second in the school!
[10:03] ---
    Yours is first, right?
[10:05] ---
    Even if it was only an instant,
[10:06] ---
    he could've taken in every last detail...
[10:08] ---
    Come on, come on.
[10:10] ---
    What's all the fuss about over there?
[10:13] ---
    Oh, Haruka. The bath wasn't too hot?
[10:17] ---
    No, it was the perfect temperature.
[10:21] ---
    Do you want something cold to drink?
[10:22] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[10:25] ---
    Hey, let go of me!
[10:27] ---
    I'm hungry!
[10:29] ---
    Anyway, it's your fault!
[10:31] ---
    You're the one who told me
    to go wash my hands.
[10:34] ---
    Oh, I haven't washed them yet.
[10:36] ---
    Bastard, you touched me
    with your cockroach hand!
[10:38] ---
    Shut up! It's not like it'll kill you!
[10:41] ---
    Both of you, quiet down!
[10:43] ---
    Hurry up and wash your hands!
[10:47] ---
    You have wonderful brothers.
[10:50] ---
    Thanks...
[10:52] ---
    Which one's your type, Haruka?
[10:55] ---
    Huh?
[10:58] ---
    Hmm...
[11:01] ---
    Worried?
[11:03] ---
    Huh?
[11:06] ---
    How long are you going
    to wash your face for?!
[11:08] ---
    Hurry up and let me wash my hands!
[11:09] ---
    Shut up! I'm washing my face right now!
[11:13] ---
    No, you're not!
[11:14] ---
    Yes, I am!
[11:22] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[11:32] ---
    Shining examples of first
    years in high school.
[11:35] ---
    Their stage is Meisei High School.
[11:38] ---
    So, please...
[11:41] ---
    ...keep supporting them.
[11:54] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[11:55] ---
    At our very own Meisei High School,
[11:58] ---
    a club other than the baseball club
[11:59] ---
    also became national champions, just once.
[12:05] ---
    "National High School
    Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship"
    "1st Place"
[12:06] ---
    Miraculously,
[12:07] ---
    they did it the same year
    the baseball club went to Koshien...
[12:09] ---
    "National High School
    Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships"
[12:59] ---
    Make sure you don't
    cause a violent incident.
[13:03] ---
    So she's in the rhythmic gymnastics club?
[13:06] ---
    Haruka Ooyama.
[13:10] ---
    Are you only scared of cockroaches?
[13:13] ---
    "Be careful of caterpillars"
[13:13] ---
    Nan.
[13:20] ---
    No, looks like he's scared of all bugs.
[13:28] ---
    Move!
[13:28] ---
    What?
[13:30] ---
    You saw her in her panties the other day!
[13:32] ---
    It's not like I was trying to see...
[13:35] ---
    Pan... ties...!
[13:41] ---
    It's like he came straight out
    of a comedy sketch.
[13:47] ---
    Okay, switch with the boys!
[13:56] ---
    This ending's straight
    out of a comedy sketch.
[14:02] ---
    This is Meisei Junior High.
[14:07] ---
    Mita, you dropped this.
[14:10] ---
    I don't need it.
[14:12] ---
    It's trivial present I got
[14:15] ---
    from a trivial guy.
[14:16] ---
    Throw it away.
[14:19] ---
    "Arisa Mita"
[14:21] ---
    Oh, but...
[14:23] ---
    You know,
[14:25] ---
    if you think everyone likes you,
    you're dead wrong.
[14:29] ---
    What?
[14:30] ---
    Oh?
[14:31] ---
    And what strange person
    are you talking about?
[14:38] ---
    Let's go.
[14:42] ---
    Jeez!
[14:43] ---
    Someone like her is second place!
[14:46] ---
    I can't stand it!
[14:47] ---
    Second place?
[14:49] ---
    Yeah.
[14:50] ---
    In the 42nd Miss Meisei Popularity Vote.
[14:53] ---
    Anyway, you won first place
    by a huge margin, though.
[14:56] ---
    Two years in a row.
[14:58] ---
    I wish she wouldn't hold a grudge
    against me for something as silly as that.
[15:05] ---
    That's not all.
[15:07] ---
    Tachibana!
[15:09] ---
    You heard that the class reps are meeting
    at lunch in Meeting Room 2, right?
[15:18] ---
    "Ryou Akai"
[15:20] ---
    Oh, no!
[15:22] ---
    I haven't tallied up the survey yet.
[15:24] ---
    I already did it, but can you check it?
[15:29] ---
    Thanks, Akai.
[15:31] ---
    Akai.
[15:33] ---
    You're a good guy, but...
[15:35] ---
    ...if you think everyone likes you,
    you're dead wrong.
[15:41] ---
    Natsuno.
[15:43] ---
    Tachibana, I'll see you later.
[15:46] ---
    Okay.
[15:50] ---
    The 2nd place Miss Meisei likes him.
[15:54] ---
    When they were second years,
[15:56] ---
    they were friendly as class reps.
[16:00] ---
    But this year...
[16:02] ---
    It's not my fault!
[16:03] ---
    The homeroom teacher just chose me.
[16:07] ---
    Well, you should just think of it
    as your fate and give up.
[16:10] ---
    Oh, dear.
[16:12] ---
    Being too popular is a curse, too.
[16:15] ---
    You shouldn't talk.
[16:17] ---
    Huh? Did you say something?
[16:19] ---
    No, I didn't say anything!
[16:22] ---
    Am I hearing things?
[16:36] ---
    Manager!
[16:38] ---
    You're not letting Tachibana
    throw in the bullpen yet?
[16:42] ---
    New club members should run first.
[16:46] ---
    They need to build their bodies.
[16:49] ---
    Even though he's the son of a good friend,
[16:51] ---
    I won't show favoritism.
[16:53] ---
    We just need to be able to use him by fall.
[16:57] ---
    Have you ever seen Touma pitch?
[17:01] ---
    Nope.
[17:02] ---
    Well, I've heard rumors,
[17:05] ---
    so my expectations are pretty high.
[17:07] ---
    Then--
[17:08] ---
    This team will be able to fight
    by switching out our pitchers:
[17:13] ---
    right-handed Takeshita,
[17:15] ---
    Takaoka, with his sidearm,
[17:18] ---
    and left-handed Nojima.
[17:20] ---
    We'll use this trio of third-years.
[17:23] ---
    I don't want them to lose motivation
[17:25] ---
    because I'm giving a
    first year special treatment.
[17:28] ---
    It's important to give them confidence
[17:30] ---
    and let them be proud of their pitches.
[17:34] ---
    I see.
[17:38] ---
    Manager!
[17:40] ---
    You're still not letting
    Tachibana throw in the bullpen?
[17:43] ---
    Huh?
[17:45] ---
    We've been waiting
    eagerly for him to join us.
[17:49] ---
    Depending on how he is,
[17:50] ---
    I was thinking of practicing
    defense with the outfielders.
[17:54] ---
    I was also thinking I could make
    a difference somehow infield...
[17:57] ---
    Hey, don't you guys have
    any pride as upperclassmen?
[18:02] ---
    Manager, have you ever
    seen Tachibana pitch?
[18:06] ---
    I haven't.
[18:07] ---
    We're third years. This is our last summer!
[18:11] ---
    We want to play baseball
    for as long as possible!
[18:15] ---
    We want to break out of our
    disgraceful streak of over 20 years
[18:18] ---
    of not getting past the third round!
[18:20] ---
    Manager!
[18:22] ---
    Imagawa!
[18:25] ---
    Yes?
[18:26] ---
    Call the Tachibana brothers over!
[19:09] ---
    What's up with your son?!
[19:12] ---
    "Punch"
[19:14] ---
    The rumors don't come
    close to describing him!
[19:16] ---
    How should I know what rumors you heard?
[19:20] ---
    If he's so amazing,
    you should brag about him more!
[19:23] ---
    I was the one who ended up embarrassed!
[19:26] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    I've been busy recently at work,
[19:29] ---
    so I haven't been able to watch any games.
[19:33] ---
    I see. So my son is that amazing, huh?
[19:36] ---
    Yeah! I can't believe he's your son!
[19:39] ---
    Who's the one who said,
    "the parents are the parents,
[19:42] ---
    and the kids are the kids"?
[19:44] ---
    Oh, you got me there!
[19:47] ---
    More beer!
[19:49] ---
    --I'm home.
    --I'm home.
[19:51] ---
    Welcome back.
[19:55] ---
    He's here again? That old man.
[20:01] ---
    Haruka's not here.
[20:03] ---
    Apparently, their bath's fixed.
[20:05] ---
    Oh, really? I'm glad.
[20:09] ---
    Hey.
[20:11] ---
    Can I go wash my hands, Sou?
[20:15] ---
    "Punch"
[20:17] ---
    ♪ Our dear old Meisei High ♪
[20:25] ---
    Yay! Cheers!
[20:30] ---
    Now, let's have dinner.
[20:33] ---
    Otomi, go call your brothers.
[20:35] ---
    Okay.
[20:38] ---
    Huh? Where's Tou?
[20:40] ---
    Oh, he said he wanted to lie down for a bit.
[20:43] ---
    That old man made him pitch
    for a long time in the bullpen.
[20:44] ---
    "That old man"
[20:48] ---
    Well, it'd been a while for him, too,
[20:50] ---
    so he was a little too eager.
[20:52] ---
    Is he okay?
[20:54] ---
    Don't worry. He'll be down soon.
[20:57] ---
    Come on, let's eat.
[21:01] ---
    I'll go check on him.
[21:04] ---
    Didn't I say not to worry?
[21:07] ---
    I can't be trusted, huh?
[21:13] ---
    "Nishimura"
[21:13] ---
    How have the Tachibana brothers
    been doing since then?
[21:18] ---
    Huh?
[21:21] ---
    I'm talking about her big brothers.
[21:23] ---
    O-Oh.
[21:25] ---
    They got a new manager,
[21:26] ---
    so they seem pretty motivated this year.
[21:29] ---
    Oh, really?
[21:32] ---
    But they're just Meisei, right?
[21:39] ---
    Yeah...
[21:43] ---
    You're right...
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:26] ---
    This is Arisa.
[23:26] ---
    Next time, my big brother will appear.
[23:28] ---
    Who's your brother again?
[23:31] ---
    You don't even know that?
[23:32] ---
    The driving force behind
    last year's Koshien quarterfinals,
[23:35] ---
    at 183 cm, 78 kg, throwing and
    hitting with his left, with type B blood,
[23:39] ---
    the super amazing high school baseball
    player even pros are watching--
[23:42] ---
    "My Brother"
[23:42] ---
    Next time, "My Brother."

[00:00] ---
    Since long ago, in this country,
    when the wind blows...
[00:06] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[00:12] ---
    Good afternoon, Master.
[00:14] ---
    Oh, Haruka! Welcome home.
[00:17] ---
    They had a sale, so I
    might've bought too much.
[00:21] ---
    I'll help you to your room.
[00:22] ---
    I'll be fine.
[00:28] ---
    Are you sure?
[00:30] ---
    Using both hands means
    you won't be able to secure your skirt.
[00:34] ---
    What will you do?!
[00:36] ---
    Should the wind blow right now...
[00:40] ---
    Yes!
[00:42] ---
    Ow! Oww!
[00:44] ---
    Oh no!
[00:46] ---
    Dang, you cloud of dust!
[00:49] ---
    I should've watered the ground!
[00:52] ---
    Let's see. Something to water the ground.
[01:00] ---
    Oh? Master of Dragon.
    Are you going somewhere?
[01:03] ---
    Yes, to go and buy a bucket.
[01:06] ---
    Oh, what a coincidence. So am I.
[01:10] ---
    Oh? Are you two going somewhere?
[01:12] ---
    Off to buy a bucket.
[01:14] ---
    --Well, what a coincidence.
    --It appears that when the
    wind blows, buckets sell well.
[01:20] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[01:23] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:26] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:30] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:32] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:35] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:38] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:25] ---
    "Punch"
[03:29] ---
    What is it with this wind?!
[03:33] ---
    Give me a break!
[03:37] ---
    Are you done with practice already?
[03:39] ---
    Yeah. We finished early today.
[03:42] ---
    Winds are strong, and there
    were some nasty looking clouds.
[03:45] ---
    What about Sou?
[03:47] ---
    He got abducted by
    some female fans over there.
[03:51] ---
    Who is that behind you?
[03:53] ---
    Behind me?
[03:58] ---
    "My Brother"
[04:04] ---
    Wait here?
[04:07] ---
    Manager told you that?
[04:09] ---
    Yeah. He's apparently dropping
    by later for some drinks.
[04:13] ---
    He also said he'll treat me to dinner.
[04:15] ---
    Has our home become a pub?
[04:17] ---
    It's not like he's paying us.
[04:19] ---
    Not only that, the man hasn't
    paid Dad the money he owes!
[04:23] ---
    What is with that man?!
[04:25] ---
    Darn it! And he has the nerve to...
[04:29] ---
    Do not talk bad about our manager!
[04:34] ---
    That man... he saved my life.
[04:42] ---
    Punch!
[04:45] ---
    Oh no! What's this downpour all of a sudden?!
[04:49] ---
    I'm glad I had brought in the laundry.
[04:54] ---
    Can you make me some tea, Otomi?
[04:56] ---
    OK!
[04:59] ---
    Oh, would you like some tea?
[05:01] ---
    Ah...
[05:02] ---
    Nan.
[05:05] ---
    Nan?
[05:08] ---
    That day too.
[05:11] ---
    The weather was much like it is today.
[05:16] ---
    Hello, Tachibana residence.
[05:18] ---
    Oh, Mom?
[05:21] ---
    What? The trains aren't running
    because of the rain?
[05:25] ---
    You'll be late coming home
[05:27] ---
    so you're eating out with Dad?!
[05:31] ---
    Get delivery for dinner?
[05:32] ---
    Who's going to deliver in
    this rain that even stops the trains?
[05:36] ---
    Hey! Wait! Hey!
[05:41] ---
    That's what she says.
[05:43] ---
    Do we have ingredients to make dinner?
[05:45] ---
    We have nothing!
[05:48] ---
    I was promised that I could have dinner.
[05:50] ---
    Get real!
[05:51] ---
    We can't be taking responsibility
    for what that man told you!
[05:55] ---
    In the first place, that man...
[05:57] ---
    Do not talk bad about our manager!
[06:00] ---
    That man... he saved my life.
[06:04] ---
    That day too.
[06:05] ---
    --I wonder if Sou is OK.
    --The weather was much like it is today.
[06:07] ---
    I'm sure he's fine.
[06:09] ---
    --Likely at a convenience store
    or family restaurant.
    --It was raining like this.
[06:11] ---
    Surrounded by girls.
[06:15] ---
    That was a close call.
[06:17] ---
    If we were a minute later,
    we would've been soaked!
[06:21] ---
    From the looks of it, I won't be
    able to leave here for a while.
[06:25] ---
    I can stay like this for days
    if I'm with you, Sou.
[06:28] ---
    Oh? I can stay here for weeks.
[06:30] ---
    I could do this for months.
[06:34] ---
    If it rained for that long,
    Japan would sink into the ocean.
[06:39] ---
    What is it, Sou?
[06:41] ---
    Hey, I recognize that person from somewhere.
[06:43] ---
    Huh?
[06:45] ---
    The Toushu baseball team's ace pitcher.
[06:48] ---
    Hiroki Mita.
[06:51] ---
    "Hiroki Mita"
[06:54] ---
    Oh! He's the guy who got lots of strikeouts
[06:57] ---
    and became famous at last year's Koshien!
[06:59] ---
    183 cm. 78 kg.
[07:02] ---
    Throws left handed, bats left handed.
[07:04] ---
    Blood type B.
[07:05] ---
    Are you girls a player directory?!
[07:08] ---
    Shall I introduce him to you, Sou?
[07:11] ---
    Hi, and a pleasure to meet you.
[07:13] ---
    My name is Arisa Mita,
    and I'm a classmate of Otomi.
[07:19] ---
    Mita?
[07:20] ---
    Hiroki Mita is my elder brother.
[07:23] ---
    I haven't told anybody about this at school.
[07:25] ---
    Because it would be like
    I'm bragging about it.
[07:29] ---
    Shall I get his autograph for you?
[07:32] ---
    I'll pass on that.
[07:33] ---
    It's all right! Don't worry!
[07:36] ---
    Hiroki!
[07:39] ---
    Allow me to introduce him to you.
[07:41] ---
    This is Tachibana. He's in tenth grade.
[07:44] ---
    He's pretty famous.
    Among Meisei High School students, that is.
[07:48] ---
    He plays baseball,
    and I hear he's very talented.
[07:52] ---
    His sister's in my class,
    and she's always bragging about him.
[07:57] ---
    Oh? What position does he play?
[07:59] ---
    Huh? Uh...
[08:02] ---
    He's a catcher.
[08:04] ---
    His brother pitches.
    They're a sibling battery.
[08:07] ---
    You know about them, Mita?
[08:09] ---
    I watched last year's
    no hitter at the Junior High
[08:13] ---
    Tokyo Tournament from the stands.
[08:15] ---
    Nice pitching, and nice leading on your part.
[08:18] ---
    Thank you.
[08:20] ---
    That's impressive.
[08:22] ---
    To have Mita remember your name.
[08:24] ---
    We'll keep an eye out for you, too.
[08:26] ---
    The Tachibana brothers of Meisei.
[08:29] ---
    Thanks, but we're still only in grade ten.
[08:33] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:36] ---
    There's no need for hesitation.
[08:39] ---
    I've been the team's ace
    since I was in grade ten.
[08:42] ---
    Your grade is irrelevant during a game.
[08:51] ---
    It wouldn't hurt to brag some more.
[08:53] ---
    Huh?
[08:55] ---
    You're at a different level,
    so you should look down at him more.
[08:59] ---
    You fool.
[09:01] ---
    At a different level?
[09:02] ---
    You've never seriously
    seen me pitch a game, have you?
[09:06] ---
    That's because I don't really know baseball.
[09:09] ---
    Then stop talking about one's levels.
[09:11] ---
    But they're nothing like you!
[09:14] ---
    You're a celebrity, appearing
    in magazines and newspapers!
[09:18] ---
    Magazines and newspapers are not important!
[09:21] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[09:23] ---
    It's quite all right.
[09:26] ---
    In any case, when the summer tournament
    begins, come to a game and see me pitch.
[09:31] ---
    Just one game will do,
    but watch it from beginning to end.
[09:35] ---
    I'll make you a fan of baseball.
[09:41] ---
    Hey, how'd it go?
[09:43] ---
    With the brother of that nasty girl.
[09:45] ---
    Hm?
[09:47] ---
    Oh.
[09:49] ---
    I now would love to have his autograph.
[09:52] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[09:52] ---
    Darn! I was tagged out
    just before reaching home.
[09:57] ---
    I'm glad I went shopping
    for food earlier today.
[10:02] ---
    Come to think of it, I wonder if Nan is OK.
[10:06] ---
    He lives far away, right?
[10:08] ---
    His uncle's home is way out in Saitama.
[10:11] ---
    I'm surprised his parents
    in Kyushu allowed him
[10:14] ---
    to live in the Tokyo area.
[10:16] ---
    He's got so many sisters and brothers.
[10:19] ---
    Besides, when he decides on
    something, he won't back down.
[10:22] ---
    He truly wants to pay you
    back for what you did.
[10:27] ---
    Pay me back, huh?
[10:33] ---
    Come to think of it, that day, too...
[10:37] ---
    Ah!
[10:39] ---
    Oops!
[10:53] ---
    A fastball at nearly 150
    km/h from a tall lefty.
[11:00] ---
    A slider with great movement.
[11:02] ---
    And there's his two-seam fastball.
[11:04] ---
    They're all top notch.
[11:06] ---
    He's a super high schooler.
[11:10] ---
    In other words, a regular high school student
    doesn't have a chance against him.
[11:15] ---
    So it's a skilled high school team,
[11:17] ---
    quarterfinalists at the summer Koshien,
    with an incredible ace pitcher.
[11:19] ---
    "Toushu High School Baseball Team"
[11:20] ---
    Why would they settle
    for a practice game with us?
[11:23] ---
    What do you mean "settle for"?!
[11:24] ---
    They only made it to the quarterfinals!
[11:27] ---
    We've been national champions!
[11:29] ---
    The best team in all of Japan!
[11:30] ---
    But that happened 30 years ago.
[11:32] ---
    That's like just the other day!
[11:34] ---
    It's ancient history, right?
[11:37] ---
    It's all for his cute younger sister.
[11:40] ---
    Huh?
[11:41] ---
    What?!
[11:43] ---
    He's your brother, Arisa?
[11:45] ---
    Well, yeah.
[11:46] ---
    The hero from Koshien!
[11:48] ---
    Hiroki Mita, who the pros are interested in?
[11:51] ---
    Is he really that great?
[11:54] ---
    My brother.
[11:56] ---
    Yes. I think he is.
[11:58] ---
    Then can I brag about him?
[12:01] ---
    The way that you do?
[12:04] ---
    Yes. I think you can.
[12:07] ---
    From what Natsuno tells me,
[12:09] ---
    her sense of rivalry against
    Otomi is quite intense.
[12:13] ---
    Which means,
[12:15] ---
    at the moment,
    Otomi is the one who's in the lead.
[12:18] ---
    So today, a brother against brothers match
[12:21] ---
    has been arranged,
    so she can earn some sure points.
[12:24] ---
    What a thing to be caught up in.
[12:27] ---
    No. We should be thankful.
[12:30] ---
    It's a chance to experience the
    pitching of a super high schooler.
[12:33] ---
    A rare opportunity.
[12:35] ---
    Even if it'll make things
    uncomfortable for Otomi?
[12:38] ---
    Things won't become any
    less comfortable for Otomi.
[12:47] ---
    So?
[12:49] ---
    Will we be allowed to play?
[13:00] ---
    Huh?
[13:01] ---
    What about the rumored sibling battery?
[13:04] ---
    They're only in grade ten, after all.
[13:07] ---
    My brother tells me he was the
    ace pitcher since he was in grade ten.
[13:11] ---
    What?
[13:13] ---
    Seriously?
[13:14] ---
    Is that really something so great?!
[13:15] ---
    --Are you just going
    to let her go on like that?
    --It's awesome!
[13:17] ---
    --It's not like I can say anything.
    --Yes, it's awesome!
[13:19] ---
    --You think so?
[13:20] ---
    --For the time being, that is.
    --You think so?
[13:24] ---
    Takeshita will start.
[13:26] ---
    Second time through
    the lineup, it'll be Takaoka.
[13:28] ---
    Third time through the lineup,
    it'll be the younger Tachibana.
[13:31] ---
    We'll finish with Nojima.
[13:34] ---
    Before they get used to a pitcher's style,
[13:36] ---
    we'll use four pitchers
    with different styles,
[13:39] ---
    disrupting their attack
    rhythm in the process.
[13:42] ---
    There are no restrictions
    on player replacements for us.
[13:45] ---
    That's how lightly they're
    taking us from the start.
[13:48] ---
    Let's teach them what happens when they take
[13:51] ---
    national champions lightly!
[13:53] ---
    But that happened 30 years ago.
[13:56] ---
    OK! We're going to win this!
[13:58] ---
    Yeah!
[14:00] ---
    Play ball!
[14:02] ---
    I'm third up.
[14:04] ---
    Today we're here to study.
[14:06] ---
    Let's take a good look at the pitching
[14:09] ---
    of a pitcher that the pros are raving over.
[14:11] ---
    You think he'll be pitching seriously
    against a team like ours?
[14:14] ---
    I'm sure he will.
[14:16] ---
    His cute little sister is watching.
[14:20] ---
    In any case,
[14:22] ---
    Takeshita looks really happy today.
[14:26] ---
    He usually pitches with
    a really sour expression.
[14:30] ---
    Yeah.
[14:33] ---
    His pitches are easier to hit today.
[14:38] ---
    His sweet smile matches his easy pitches.
[14:42] ---
    Ball! Four balls!
[14:49] ---
    I see you can get lots of points in baseball.
[14:52] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[14:53] ---
    That ends the top of the first inning.
[14:57] ---
    I thought they'd be using backups,
[14:59] ---
    but no, they're using their regular starters.
[15:02] ---
    Regardless...
[15:04] ---
    What's wrong, Takeshita?
[15:06] ---
    --He gets nervous around celebrities.
    --I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[15:10] ---
    Pitching against famous players
    he's seen frequently on TV,
[15:13] ---
    he's having trouble keeping
    his feet on the ground.
[15:15] ---
    More importantly,
    you'd better get warmed up soon.
[15:17] ---
    You're third up.
[15:19] ---
    Huh?
[15:20] ---
    They batted around
[15:22] ---
    in just the first inning.
[15:24] ---
    Ugh.
[15:36] ---
    He's serious, all right.
[15:37] ---
    Yeah.
[15:39] ---
    He's serious.
[15:41] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[15:44] ---
    Second up, Pitcher Takaoka.
[15:47] ---
    Against six batters,
    he gives up one walk and two hits.
[15:52] ---
    Although he does give up one run,
    the pitching is pretty decent.
[15:55] ---
    Yes!
[15:56] ---
    But one thing with Takaoka is,
    when he pitches more than an inning,
[16:00] ---
    he can become a completely different pitcher.
[16:02] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[16:04] ---
    And this is Takaoka
    when he's become a different pitcher.
[16:08] ---
    He has walked consecutive batters
    to load the bases with no outs,
[16:12] ---
    at which point he completes his mission
    of going through the lineup once.
[16:16] ---
    Pitching change, and replacing catcher, too!
[16:19] ---
    Oh boy.
[16:20] ---
    Oh! They're finally making an appearance.
[16:23] ---
    The rumored sibling battery.
[16:26] ---
    At the worst possible time.
[16:28] ---
    What? They're bringing in a tenth grader?
[16:32] ---
    Grades are irrelevant in a game.
[16:36] ---
    Play!
[16:38] ---
    Darn. At the worst possible time.
[16:42] ---
    Oh, well... here goes nothing.
[16:46] ---
    Oops.
[16:55] ---
    Out!
[17:00] ---
    Oh boy.
[17:02] ---
    Three outs! Switch sides!
[17:04] ---
    T-Triple play?!
[17:07] ---
    What just happened?
[17:10] ---
    Strike!
[17:12] ---
    To this point, there have been
    four strikeouts and two ground balls.
[17:16] ---
    It's only a practice game
[17:19] ---
    yet no one's been able
    to hit a ball out of the infield.
[17:23] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[17:27] ---
    Sou!
[17:30] ---
    At the least, make him throw four pitches.
[17:35] ---
    Get him! Sou!
[17:50] ---
    Out!
[17:51] ---
    Really, Sou?
[17:56] ---
    I told you at least four pitches.
[17:58] ---
    Sorry. It looked like a pitch
    I could hit, so I swung at it.
[18:03] ---
    He hit the first delivery he
    ever saw from Mita to the outfield!
[18:07] ---
    Get him! Tou!
[18:10] ---
    I wish she wouldn't call me that.
[18:22] ---
    Strike!
[18:27] ---
    Looked like a pitch he could hit?
[18:30] ---
    Does he seriously mean that?
[18:35] ---
    Foul ball!
[18:41] ---
    Ball!
[18:44] ---
    Well done.
[18:47] ---
    Foul ball!
[18:49] ---
    Foul ball!
[18:50] ---
    He's persistently fouling them off.
[18:53] ---
    He's not trying to foul them off.
[18:56] ---
    He's trying to get a hit.
[19:00] ---
    Ball!
[19:01] ---
    It's now a full count.
[19:03] ---
    Tou is always the one
    who does the unexpected.
[19:07] ---
    Huh?
[19:08] ---
    Both good and bad.
[19:22] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[19:24] ---
    Three outs! Switch sides!
[19:29] ---
    It appears that it's not only our
[19:31] ---
    starting pitcher Takeshita
    who's weak around celebrities.
[19:35] ---
    I just hope that umpire doesn't regret it.
[19:40] ---
    That was your favorite spot, wasn't it?
[19:43] ---
    Right there, just off the plate.
[19:45] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[19:46] ---
    Five to nothing after three innings.
[19:49] ---
    That's enough service, don't you think?
    How about we replace you?
[19:53] ---
    I've still only seen one pitch from that guy.
[19:57] ---
    Not that it matters. He's
    only a tenth grader.
[20:01] ---
    And he lucked out
    with a miracle on that one play.
[20:06] ---
    Foul ball!
[20:12] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[20:15] ---
    Huh? You're kidding.
[20:18] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[20:21] ---
    This really helps.
[20:23] ---
    Batter is out!
[20:25] ---
    He struck out the side!
[20:26] ---
    And against the heart of
    the Toushu starting lineup!
[20:30] ---
    He did the unexpected, didn't he?
[20:32] ---
    He definitely did that, I must say.
[20:35] ---
    That's my brother.
[20:36] ---
    I already know!
[20:38] ---
    Do you want to change pitchers?
[20:40] ---
    Out of respect for that pitching we saw,
    we'll add on some more service!
[20:50] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[20:58] ---
    What are you getting so heated up about?
[21:01] ---
    That was the second time I faced that batter!
[21:03] ---
    Wasn't I supposed to be replaced
    after going through the lineup once?
[21:06] ---
    You fool.
[21:07] ---
    I'm a fool?!
[21:09] ---
    It's two outs in the sixth inning.
[21:11] ---
    Nojima is our only remaining pitcher.
[21:15] ---
    What's that sign supposed to mean?!
[21:18] ---
    That couldn't be more obvious.
[21:20] ---
    Who in their right mind would
    replace a pitcher who has no-hit
[21:24] ---
    the nine starting members
    of the Toushu lineup?
[21:27] ---
    The fluke of no-hitting our batters
    will only work through the lineup once.
[21:31] ---
    Even against the same batters,
    the second time will be a lot more difficult.
[21:34] ---
    That's the reality of facing
    a national level team.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:26] ---
    Big news! Big news!
[23:27] ---
    What's the matter, Natsuno?
    What are you so worked up about?
[23:30] ---
    It's a big deal! It's big news!
[23:32] ---
    What happened?
[23:33] ---
    Tell us.
[23:34] ---
    It's big news!
[23:36] ---
    It really is a big deal!
    Something incredible is happening!
[23:39] ---
    So tell us!
[23:40] ---
    Hurry and say it.
[23:41] ---
    W-W-Well, you see...
[23:42] ---
    "Big News, Right?"
[23:44] ---
    Next time, "Big News, Right?"
[23:45] ---
    So what is it?!
[23:47] ---

[00:00] ---
    "Meisei High School Entrance"
[00:09] ---
    Oh! They're playing a ball game!
[00:13] ---
    Let's see.
[00:18] ---
    Hey! Touma's throwing!
[00:27] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:30] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:33] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:37] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:39] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:42] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:45] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:31] ---
    "Punch"
[02:38] ---
    Oh? Welcome home. You're home early.
[02:41] ---
    Yeah. And because of it,
    I saw something I'd rather have not.
[02:45] ---
    Something you'd rather have not?
[02:47] ---
    I saw a baseball club practice game.
[02:50] ---
    Oh. I did hear a lot of
    cheering so I wondered.
[02:53] ---
    So they're playing a ball game.
[02:55] ---
    Touma's throwing.
[02:57] ---
    Oh? Why, that's awesome!
    And he's only in tenth grade!
[03:01] ---
    That no-good manager.
[03:03] ---
    He's demanding gratitude from me.
[03:06] ---
    Heck with his "even better
    than rumored" nonsense!
[03:09] ---
    All that flattery.
[03:11] ---
    He's thinking it'll lead to free booze.
[03:15] ---
    I won't let him have his way.
[03:16] ---
    I'm going to drink all the beer
    in the house before he arrives here.
[03:21] ---
    Calm down!
[03:23] ---
    From the sounds of it, the game...
[03:27] ---
    We're losing.
[03:28] ---
    Five nothing through five innings.
[03:30] ---
    At this rate, the opponent
    will be scoring many more runs.
[03:33] ---
    Who is the opponent?
[03:36] ---
    Opponent?
[03:40] ---
    "Toushu"
[03:43] ---
    Toushu!
[03:44] ---
    Who's Toushu?
[03:46] ---
    Ah, why, what Toushu could
    there be other than that Toushu?!
[03:51] ---
    Embraced by their lefty, Hiroki Mita,
    who the pros are raving over,
[03:53] ---
    they made it to the quarterfinals
    in last summer's Koshien!
[03:56] ---
    They were cursed with
    bad luck in the spring tournament,
[03:59] ---
    but they're unmistakably
    a favorite to win this summer!
[04:02] ---
    That team!
[04:15] ---
    No mistake about it! That's
    Toushu High School!
[04:19] ---
    Not to mention,
    their regular starters are playing!
[04:23] ---
    On the mound...
[04:25] ---
    ...is their ace pitcher!
[04:28] ---
    "Big News, Right?"
[04:33] ---
    So, on that note,
    we'll continue with the practice game.
[04:34] ---
    "Batting Eighth, Catcher: Tachibana (Sou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[04:43] ---
    Out!
[04:47] ---
    Nice play.
[04:49] ---
    Too bad.
[04:50] ---
    It would've been nice
    if first base was a little closer.
[04:57] ---
    "Batting Ninth, Pitcher: Tachibana (Tou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[05:10] ---
    Strike three! Batter is out!
[05:19] ---
    That last pitch was
    the fastest he's thrown today.
[05:22] ---
    Darn. That's so immature of him
    against a mere tenth grader.
[05:27] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[05:28] ---
    Five to nothing.
[05:31] ---
    Hey, Miss Tachibana.
[05:34] ---
    You know those games where not
    a single player reaches base?
[05:37] ---
    What was that called?
[05:38] ---
    "Perfect Game"
[05:41] ---
    A baseball game has nine innings.
[05:44] ---
    Please learn to be patient.
[05:46] ---
    Right, Natsuno?
[05:49] ---
    I wouldn't be surprised
    if we were to give up a perfect game
[05:53] ---
    to the mighty Hiroki Mita.
[06:00] ---
    Out!
[06:01] ---
    But what's surprising is...
[06:03] ---
    Strike three! Batter is out!
[06:12] ---
    Out!
[06:13] ---
    Ever since he entered
    the game, he's only allowed
[06:17] ---
    a single weak hit against that Toushu lineup!
[06:20] ---
    Obviously that tenth grade pitcher
    is the surprise. It's big news, right?
[06:27] ---
    What's the meaning of this, manager?
[06:30] ---
    I'm Yoneyama, the advisor.
[06:33] ---
    Oh. Thank you for the trouble.
[06:36] ---
    Why can't we get any hits?
[06:38] ---
    There were many pitchers just
    as good at Koshien, weren't there?
[06:43] ---
    Yes, there were.
[06:44] ---
    Then...
[06:46] ---
    Sure, we can get hits.
[06:47] ---
    If we're allowed to focus on certain pitches.
[06:51] ---
    He's not letting us sit
    on any particular pitch.
[06:55] ---
    That catcher.
[07:08] ---
    Koma!
[07:10] ---
    Nangou!
[07:11] ---
    You're pinch hitting!
[07:12] ---
    Both of you, impress me
    like your life depends on it!
[07:15] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:17] ---
    Out of desperation, that manager's
    trying to win by buying lottery tickets.
[07:25] ---
    If we're not getting hits anyway,
    at least buying the lottery lets you...
[07:30] ---
    ...dream...
[07:43] ---
    Out!
[07:47] ---
    How's that? I hit it farther than anyone.
[07:50] ---
    Higher than anyone, yes.
[07:51] ---
    If the wind picked it up,
    it would've left the park.
[07:55] ---
    Good grief.
[07:58] ---
    If the wind blew that hard,
    the outfield fences would blow away first.
[08:04] ---
    Foul!
[08:13] ---
    He hit it well.
[08:15] ---
    Yeah.
[08:16] ---
    Although the ball was thrown
    where a well-hit ball can only be fouled.
[08:22] ---
    I just hope he doesn't misunderstand that.
[08:38] ---
    Out!
[08:41] ---
    So close!
[08:46] ---
    He could be one tough guy to deal with.
[08:49] ---
    Yeah. Although he's a power hitter,
[08:51] ---
    he uses his wits unlike
    some other power hitter I know.
[08:55] ---
    Some other?
[08:58] ---
    Otomi!
[09:03] ---
    How's the game coming along?!
[09:07] ---
    We just finished the seventh inning!
[09:09] ---
    We're losing, five to nothing!
[09:12] ---
    What?!
[09:13] ---
    They got five runs,
    even with Touma pitching?!
[09:18] ---
    No!
[09:19] ---
    Ever since Tou entered
    the game in the third inning,
[09:22] ---
    they've only hit one weak hit.
[09:24] ---
    And they haven't been
    able to score a single run!
[09:27] ---
    That's more like it.
[09:29] ---
    I knew that didn't sound right.
[09:30] ---
    Miss Ooyama! Please return to practice!
[09:34] ---
    Oops.
[09:36] ---
    See you later, Otomi!
[09:39] ---
    Wh-Who is that pretty lady?
[09:41] ---
    Haruka Ooyama.
[09:43] ---
    She's the daughter of the
    high school baseball team manager.
[09:46] ---
    Oh...
[09:48] ---
    No, wait! Does she even know?!
[09:51] ---
    Know what?
[09:52] ---
    She heard they hadn't scored,
[09:55] ---
    and yet she acted like that was normal!
[09:58] ---
    Does she know who Touma is pitching against?!
[10:02] ---
    I wonder.
[10:06] ---
    He's starting to lose velocity,
    since he hasn't pitched all that much.
[10:11] ---
    But thanks to that man,
    he's been running more than enough.
[10:15] ---
    His lower body is still stable.
[10:18] ---
    Since long ago, they've said that in baseball,
    as long as you maintain accuracy,
[10:23] ---
    the ball will be hit in front
    of one of the players on the field.
[10:28] ---
    Of course,
[10:31] ---
    the pitcher can't be responsible for errors.
[10:34] ---
    No worries!
[10:38] ---
    As long as his pitches remain accurate.
[10:44] ---
    --Out!
    --Out!
[10:48] ---
    Out!
[10:50] ---
    Three outs! Switch sides!
[11:00] ---
    The Meisei baseball team was
    doing well against Toushu, but...
[11:13] ---
    Strike three! Batter is out!
[11:16] ---
    Once again, three up, and three down.
[11:19] ---
    How many innings are there in
    a baseball game, Miss Tachibana?
[11:37] ---
    So here we are.
[11:40] ---
    We are in the top of the ninth inning.
    The late stages of the game.
[11:48] ---
    What do you think?
[11:49] ---
    Hm?
[11:50] ---
    Compared to how I pitched
    when I was in grade ten.
[11:54] ---
    Come on.
[11:56] ---
    It wouldn't be fair to
    compare him to you, now would it?
[12:00] ---
    Do you remember your first game?
[12:03] ---
    It was a practice game
    against Sankou High School.
[12:08] ---
    That's right.
[12:09] ---
    At the time, that team had been
    to Koshien, two straight years.
[12:12] ---
    Sankou High School.
[12:16] ---
    Unfortunately the game was still scoreless
    when it was rained out after seven innings.
[12:23] ---
    But that Sankou lineup had their
    hands full against you, a tenth grader.
[12:28] ---
    They could get nothing going.
[12:31] ---
    How many hits did they get against you?
[12:34] ---
    Two hits.
[12:36] ---
    I still remember that day clearly.
[12:39] ---
    The look on the Sankou manager's face.
[12:46] ---
    OK!
[12:48] ---
    That's our second hit.
[12:50] ---
    The number of hits he has given up.
[12:53] ---
    And he's pitching his seventh inning.
[13:03] ---
    That's precisely the expression.
[13:05] ---
    On the Sankou manager's face.
[13:11] ---
    Five.
[13:12] ---
    Four.
[13:14] ---
    Three.
[13:16] ---
    We got 'em good.
[13:18] ---
    Yes!
[13:19] ---
    A double play!
[13:25] ---
    We need a perfect game.
[13:28] ---
    In order for us
[13:29] ---
    to make them forget his great pitching
    and make this a game they'll want to forget.
[13:37] ---
    That was my intention to begin with.
[13:40] ---
    My younger sister
    doesn't know baseball too well.
[13:43] ---
    So I need to post a record that's easy
    to comprehend, in order to impress her.
[13:48] ---
    I still think it's unfair
    to compare him to you.
[13:53] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[13:53] ---
    Three outs! Switch sides!
[13:57] ---
    Bottom of the ninth inning.
    Meisei's last time up.
[14:01] ---
    OK! Like it or not, this is our last chance!
[14:05] ---
    Who's up?
[14:06] ---
    Huh? Ah, well...
[14:09] ---
    ...we've only had
    three up every inning, so...
[14:11] ---
    ...obviously from our seventh batter.
[14:13] ---
    Only three up every inning?
[14:18] ---
    P-P-Perfect!
[14:21] ---
    He only noticed now?
[14:24] ---
    Mhm.
[14:26] ---
    Our final chance.
[14:28] ---
    Seventh, eighth, and ninth!
[14:32] ---
    It's made to come around
    to them at the right time.
[14:36] ---
    Baseball is a drama!
[14:40] ---
    First up.
[14:42] ---
    Strike three! Batter is out!
[14:45] ---
    Strike out.
[14:47] ---
    And then...
[14:58] ---
    Strike!
[15:03] ---
    Foul!
[15:17] ---
    Strike three! Batter is out!
[15:20] ---
    Strike out.
[15:26] ---
    You're such an unreliable elder brother.
[15:39] ---
    Don't dodge the situation with a smile.
[15:43] ---
    Two outs.
[15:45] ---
    And then...
[15:47] ---
    Strike!
[15:54] ---
    Strike!
[15:57] ---
    Two strikes.
[15:59] ---
    And then...
[16:40] ---
    Strike three! Batter is out!
[16:48] ---
    Huh? Where's the drama?
[16:51] ---
    I told you.
[16:52] ---
    Expect too much and he'll bring you down.
[16:55] ---
    Well, yeah, but...
[17:01] ---
    Manager?
[17:02] ---
    Hm? Oh...
[17:05] ---
    Huh?!
[17:06] ---
    OK! Good game.
[17:09] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[17:11] ---
    What was that?
[17:13] ---
    His pitching in the ninth inning.
[17:16] ---
    A message to us.
[17:18] ---
    We were surprised enough with his pitching
[17:21] ---
    until the eighth inning.
[17:24] ---
    He's telling us to give up
    because he's leaps ahead of us?
[17:28] ---
    It wasn't that kind of
    cheap message, now was it?
[17:32] ---
    Not that pitching.
[17:38] ---
    You're right.
[17:44] ---
    Where's my sister?
[17:45] ---
    Huh?
[17:47] ---
    Oh!
[17:48] ---
    If you're looking for Arisa,
    she left for the junior high soccer field,
[17:52] ---
    because Akai's soccer match
    was about to begin.
[17:55] ---
    Right after the end of the eighth inning.
[17:58] ---
    Yelp!
[18:01] ---
    What the heck!
[18:05] ---
    Oh, ah, I'm sorry.
[18:10] ---
    Tell me, what kind of person is
    that Akai fellow of the soccer team?
[18:15] ---
    He's class rep of our class,
[18:18] ---
    and captain of the soccer team.
[18:19] ---
    He studies hard, he's kind,
[18:22] ---
    and popular in class, liked by everyone.
[18:25] ---
    But having said that,
[18:26] ---
    he's handsome, great at socializing,
    and really has no faults,
[18:30] ---
    which makes him boring among the guys.
[18:35] ---
    Oh, but you have nothing to worry about.
[18:36] ---
    Akai is not interested in your little sister.
[18:40] ---
    Not interested?
[18:43] ---
    Hey, Natsuno...
[18:44] ---
    His character is boring,
[18:47] ---
    but he knows what to look for in a woman.
[18:49] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[18:52] ---
    What I'm saying is, your little sister...
[18:55] ---
    Natsuno!
[18:56] ---
    --Because! Your little sister is terrible!
[18:57] ---
    --They seem to be arguing about something.
    --Because! Your little sister is terrible!
[18:59] ---
    Would you stop it, already?!
[19:00] ---
    Well, sure! She certainly is good looking!
    But her personality!
[19:03] ---
    --Natsuno! Hey!
[19:04] ---
    --Everyone! Good game!
    --Natsuno! Hey!
[19:07] ---
    That guy. He made me so nervous.
[19:11] ---
    I swear Mita was totally angry.
[19:15] ---
    If we didn't have the netting separating us,
    Natsuno could've been beaten up.
[19:19] ---
    That's too bad.
[19:22] ---
    If Mita were caught in an act of violence,
[19:25] ---
    a favorite would be forced to quit,
    making the summer tournament more interesting.
[19:30] ---
    You don't seriously think that, do you?!
[19:35] ---
    Half serious.
[19:36] ---
    Huh?!
[19:37] ---
    Well, maybe about one-third.
[19:41] ---
    Oww!
[19:42] ---
    What's with that attitude toward
    a big brother who loves his little sister?
[19:46] ---
    Right now I wish to
    say those exact words to you!
[19:51] ---
    Oh my. What a thing to do to a
    big brother who loves his little sister?
[19:55] ---
    Are you all right, my dear big brother?!
[19:57] ---
    Shut up!
[20:00] ---
    The dog can shut up, too!
[20:01] ---
    Really. Would you hurry
    and take the dog out for a walk?!
[20:05] ---
    OK.
[20:08] ---
    Have a nice walk, my dear big brother.
[20:11] ---
    How long do you plan on holding that bucket?
[20:19] ---
    Ryou!
[20:23] ---
    Otomi!
[20:25] ---
    Good afternoon, Otomi's brother.
[20:27] ---
    What's wrong with your leg?
[20:30] ---
    Oh. I seemed to have
    sprained it during the game.
[20:34] ---
    But we won today's game
    by a score of two to nothing.
[20:38] ---
    I scored a goal and I also assisted.
[20:40] ---
    Never mind the game. How bad is your leg?
[20:44] ---
    The school nurse had a look at it
    and says it's nothing serious.
[20:48] ---
    Not good enough!
[20:50] ---
    That nurse has a habit of saying
    "nothing serious" to everything!
[20:53] ---
    Go to the hospital to have it looked at!
[20:55] ---
    I hear you.
[20:57] ---
    I'll give it one night, and if the
    pain doesn't go away, then tomorrow...
[21:00] ---
    No way! Right now!
[21:03] ---
    Let me. I'll push the bicycle for you.
[21:06] ---
    Ah, yeah, but...
[21:09] ---
    Come on, get on the back.
[21:11] ---
    Riding double on a bicycle is dangerous!
[21:13] ---
    I'm only going to push it along.
[21:15] ---
    Don't worry, I'm not going to ride it.
[21:17] ---
    It'll be heavy.
[21:19] ---
    Stop fussing.
[21:21] ---
    Just shut up and get on.
[21:23] ---
    Yes, ma'am.
[21:25] ---
    I'll see you later!
[21:27] ---
    Excuse me!
[21:29] ---
    Hold on tight!
[21:43] ---
    Punch. We're good even
    if you do a really big one.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Argh...
[23:27] ---
    What's wrong, Haruka?
[23:28] ---
    I'm thinking of going out next Saturday
[23:31] ---
    but getting there is a bit of a trek.
[23:33] ---
    How far are you going?
[23:34] ---
    Two hours by train, with three transfers.
[23:36] ---
    Then walk two hours from the station.
[23:38] ---
    Over a mountain,
    through a valley, and I'm there.
[23:40] ---
    Where in the world?
[23:42] ---
    "Just a Walk"
[23:42] ---
    Next time, "Just a Walk."
[23:44] ---
    I wonder what she'll be doing.
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"

[00:01] ---
    The weather is perfect today.
[00:06] ---
    Otomi is taking Punch out for a walk.
[00:14] ---
    Excuse me.
[00:16] ---
    Are you a stalker?
[00:19] ---
    Who are you calling stalker?!
[00:21] ---
    I am not anyone suspicious!
[00:24] ---
    Really?
[00:25] ---
    I am Takumi Nishimura!
[00:27] ---
    I'm the tenth grade ace of the
    Seinan High School baseball team,
[00:31] ---
    who the entire nation will be talking
    about once the summer tournament begins.
[00:35] ---
    So, what is the reason for sneakily peeking?
[00:38] ---
    I'm close friends with her brothers.
[00:41] ---
    Hmm...
[00:42] ---
    Lately this area has become dangerous,
[00:45] ---
    with creepy-looking guys
    roaming around, even during the day.
[00:48] ---
    Wait! As I speak, there's
    another suspicious looking guy!
[00:56] ---
    Well, with that face,
    I guess there's little to worry about.
[01:00] ---
    You need your eyes examined!
[01:03] ---
    That guy is a famous playboy,
    known as the Red Smile.
[01:07] ---
    Tricked by his refreshing smile,
[01:10] ---
    countless girls have been reduced to tears!
[01:13] ---
    What?!
[01:14] ---
    Like I told you,
[01:16] ---
    you can't trust what that school nurse says.
[01:20] ---
    You were right.
[01:22] ---
    It was good that I went to the hospital then.
[01:24] ---
    Oh, one other thing--
[01:25] ---
    Stay away from Otomi!
[01:32] ---
    Stop right there, Red Smile!
[01:34] ---
    I know exactly what you're thinking!
[01:37] ---
    Huh?
[01:38] ---
    What's with this comedy act?
[01:40] ---
    Oh my! Isn't that the Nishimura
    that everyone's talking about?
[01:44] ---
    The guy who Miss Tachibana
    is always talking about.
[01:46] ---
    Nishimura, the ace of the
    Seinan High School baseball team, right?
[01:51] ---
    Ah, what?
[01:53] ---
    He's the hero she's always talking about,
    saying she's worried that all the girls
[01:57] ---
    will be after him once he becomes popular
    nationwide after the summer tournament begins.
[02:02] ---
    That Takumi Nishimura, right?!
[02:05] ---
    Ah, what?
[02:07] ---
    Come on, Akai.
[02:10] ---
    We mustn't get in the way of the two.
[02:12] ---
    Come on. Let's go, let's go.
[02:15] ---
    I see. She scripted this.
[02:18] ---
    Otomi!
[02:19] ---
    Are you all right? Did he do anything to you?
[02:21] ---
    Did you get hurt? Feverish? Harmed?
[02:22] ---
    --I'm fine!
    --Did he talk dirty to you?
    Does it hurt anywhere?
[02:24] ---
    --What the heck are you doing?!
    --Did he talk dirty to you?
    Does it hurt anywhere?
[02:28] ---
    Lay a finger on Miss Otomi,
    and I'll blast you!
[02:32] ---
    --Huh?! Otomi!
    --Who the heck are you?!
[02:34] ---
    --Huh?! Otomi!
    --That's what I want to know!
[02:36] ---
    --Otomi!
    --How dare you barge in!
[02:38] ---
    --So, who the heck are you?!
[02:38] ---
    --Who is he?
    --So, who the heck are you?!
[02:40] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[02:43] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[02:46] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[02:50] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[02:52] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[02:55] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[02:58] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[04:48] ---
    I'm starving.
[04:51] ---
    Hang in there until Otomi's home.
[04:53] ---
    She was looking forward to making you some
[04:56] ---
    special "spaghetti napolitan"
    when you wake up.
[04:59] ---
    Special napolitan?
[05:01] ---
    Why does she always insist
    on making everything special?
[05:05] ---
    If she made it normally,
    it would be normally delicious.
[05:08] ---
    But she adds other ingredients
    and adds unneeded effort.
[05:12] ---
    She has the tendency to try too hard
    when it comes to you, dear Touma.
[05:15] ---
    Perhaps unnecessarily.
[05:18] ---
    Well, just think of it as kindness and
    compassion, and let her do as she wants.
[05:23] ---
    OK.
[05:25] ---
    Thank you.
[05:27] ---
    What for?
[05:28] ---
    If it weren't for you, dear Touma,
[05:30] ---
    I doubt Souichiro and Otomi
    could've turned out like they are now.
[05:35] ---
    Right?!
[05:36] ---
    When I first met them, they weren't
    sociable and they seemed so depressed.
[05:41] ---
    But now, they're both
    so popular and well-liked at school!
[05:46] ---
    All three of you are, right?
[05:50] ---
    "Victory"
    "Go for it To-chan! Koshien! Asako"
    "Dear Touma"
[05:50] ---
    We've been receiving stuff,
    ever since that game the other day.
[05:55] ---
    In our mailbox.
[05:57] ---
    I wonder...
[06:00] ---
    Well, in any case,
[06:02] ---
    your biggest fan is Otomi.
[06:12] ---
    I-A-O?
[06:13] ---
    "To Touma Tachibana"
[06:14] ---
    Who is this?
[06:16] ---
    "Just a Walk"
[06:25] ---
    I'm home!
[06:26] ---
    Welcome home!
[06:28] ---
    I'd better get something to eat.
[06:31] ---
    We're here, too!
[06:35] ---
    Why are you guys here?
[06:37] ---
    I don't know why,
    but they insisted on coming with me!
[06:41] ---
    That's like the story of Momotaro!
[06:43] ---
    "Japan's Best"   "Punch"
[06:45] ---
    What's all the fuss?
[06:47] ---
    Well, the Momotaro gang arrived first.
[06:50] ---
    So, you decided to take
    part by bringing the villain?
[06:54] ---
    Who knows.
[06:55] ---
    I happened to bump into him at the
    noodle shop, and he decided to tag along.
[06:59] ---
    Growl.
[07:01] ---
    Is this some unlucky day I should know about?
[07:03] ---
    Like I said, I...
[07:05] ---
    --Shut up! You're only in junior high.
    --Hey, don't you understand anything?
[07:07] ---
    --Kids should keep quiet.
    --Hey, don't you understand anything?
[07:09] ---
    Say what you wish, Senior.
[07:11] ---
    --Yeah, I'm your senior.
    You need to know that.
[07:11] ---
    --Huh? Where'd Touma go?
    --Yeah, I'm your senior. You need to know that.
[07:13] ---
    --I dunno.
    --Yeah, I'm your senior. You need to know that.
[07:16] ---
    It's not I-A-O. But...
[07:19] ---
    One-A-O.
[07:21] ---
    First year of high school, class A, Ooyama?
[07:25] ---
    Sorry this is so sudden. When we're
    finished with midterm tests next week,
[07:29] ---
    I'd like to go out with you on a walk.
[07:32] ---
    If it's too much of a hassle, never mind.
[07:34] ---
    If you can join me, then tomorrow morning,
[07:36] ---
    when I say "Good morning" to you,
    respond with a "Good morning."
[07:39] ---
    If you'd rather not, say,
    "Anokutara Sanmyaku Sanbodai,"
[07:43] ---
    then I'll know from your response.
[07:45] ---
    Huh? What's this?
[07:47] ---
    Ano, kuta, what?
[07:50] ---
    P.S.
[07:50] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[07:51] ---
    Due to the request of the shop manager,
[07:54] ---
    I've started working at noodle shop
    "Dragon" on days that it's busy.
[07:58] ---
    If you're ever close by, please drop by.
[08:01] ---
    I'll add an extra slice of meat for free.
[08:04] ---
    Haruka Ooyama.
[08:09] ---
    I see. Now it's making sense.
[08:18] ---
    Stop it!
[08:19] ---
    Why should I?!
[08:20] ---
    Eat without getting in my way!
[08:22] ---
    I'm a pitcher so I've got to watch how I eat!
[08:28] ---
    Hmm...
[08:30] ---
    "Punch"
[08:30] ---
    I don't really get it.
[08:35] ---
    See you later.
[08:36] ---
    Yeah.
[08:38] ---
    In any case,
[08:40] ---
    "If it's too much of a hassle, never mind."
[08:41] ---
    this could become a real hassle,
[08:43] ---
    so it's safer to decline.
[08:46] ---
    Let's see.
[08:48] ---
    What was I supposed to say when declining?
[08:51] ---
    Ano, kuta, ra...
[08:53] ---
    Good morning.
[08:55] ---
    Oh, good morning.
[09:01] ---
    Oops.
[09:03] ---
    But hey, that response is automatic!
[09:06] ---
    "If you'd rather not, say 'Anokutara Sanmyaku
    Sanbodai,' then I'll know from your response."
[09:06] ---
    Besides, that key phrase
    to decline is too difficult.
[09:11] ---
    "Midterm Test"
[09:12] ---
    OK, you have five more minutes.
[09:23] ---
    "I'd like to go out with you."
[09:24] ---
    I'd like to go out with you.
[09:29] ---
    Don't get distracted. Focus. Focus.
[09:32] ---
    Time's up!
[09:36] ---
    So? How'd you do on your test?
[09:39] ---
    Whether I guessed right
    or not is a matter of luck.
[09:41] ---
    Something to look forward
    to when it's returned.
[09:43] ---
    That's what you always say.
[09:45] ---
    Don't expect too much
    from him this time around.
[09:48] ---
    Huh?
[09:49] ---
    You've been having trouble concentrating...
[09:52] ---
    ...all week.
[09:54] ---
    What makes you say so?
[09:56] ---
    It's about time.
[09:57] ---
    Time for what?!
[09:59] ---
    "Noodle Master"
[10:00] ---
    It's been over ten minutes since you added
    hot water to that bowl of instant noodles.
[10:09] ---
    Does it taste good?
[10:11] ---
    Shut up.
[10:12] ---
    Come to think of it, you no longer
    eat noodles at home, do you, Sou?
[10:17] ---
    That's not true.
[10:23] ---
    I've started working at noodle shop "Dragon."
[10:26] ---
    Hmm... this is a problem.
[10:30] ---
    Wait. What's there to worry about?
[10:35] ---
    It's not like I did anything.
[10:37] ---
    And it's not like I've confirmed
    how Sou feels about her.
[10:41] ---
    Besides, it's just a walk.
[10:45] ---
    Hey. There's no baseball
    practice tomorrow, Saturday, right?
[10:50] ---
    Right.
[10:51] ---
    They'll be repairing the
    sunken parts of the baseball field.
[10:55] ---
    Yeah. That would be our only free day.
[10:58] ---
    In that case, why don't the
    three of us go out and watch a movie?
[11:03] ---
    Can't you be less messy?
[11:05] ---
    Wait.
[11:06] ---
    "I'd like to go out with you on a walk."
[11:07] ---
    She did say a walk,
[11:09] ---
    but we haven't agreed on a date, time,
    or place yet. Nothing's been decided.
[11:14] ---
    Which means, if I booked
    plans ahead of time...
[11:18] ---
    Good.
[11:20] ---
    Let's do that. A movie would be nice.
[11:23] ---
    I'm home!
[11:24] ---
    Oh, hi there.
[11:27] ---
    Dear Touma, you had
    another one in the mailbox.
[11:30] ---
    "To Touma Tachibana"
[11:30] ---
    A fan letter.
[11:36] ---
    "Notice of our walk
    Tomorrow (Saturday) 2 p.m.
    Takamidai Station Entrance I'll see you then."
[11:37] ---
    Darn it.
[11:39] ---
    I ended up seeing this
    before I could make plans.
[11:43] ---
    Otomi.
[11:44] ---
    Here's a gift to take to
    the Ida residence tomorrow.
[11:48] ---
    Ida residence? Tomorrow?
[11:50] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[11:52] ---
    You were the one who brought it up
    last week when we visited them.
[11:56] ---
    That you would give their
    grade school girl flute lessons.
[12:00] ---
    Oops, I forgot about that.
[12:02] ---
    Hm?
[12:04] ---
    Then next time
[12:05] ---
    the baseball field sinks, we'll go out.
[12:08] ---
    We can't afford to have
    that field sink that often.
[12:12] ---
    Which would mean...
[12:14] ---
    What about it? Maybe the
    two of us can go watch a movie.
[12:17] ---
    Not a chance!
[12:19] ---
    Didn't think so.
[12:21] ---
    There's no reason to hide the fact,
[12:24] ---
    but neither is there a reason to tell him.
[12:26] ---
    Because it's just a walk, after all.
[12:40] ---
    "Takamidai Station"
[12:41] ---
    The weather is perfect.
[12:43] ---
    A great day to take a trip.
[12:53] ---
    How far are we going?
[12:56] ---
    We're almost there.
[12:58] ---
    I'm sure we are,
[13:00] ---
    since it's just a walk.
[13:12] ---
    How far are we going?
[13:14] ---
    We're almost there.
[13:17] ---
    That's what you say, but after multiple
    train rides, we've been walking quite a bit.
[13:23] ---
    It's just a walk, right?
[13:28] ---
    Hey!
[13:29] ---
    I remember this!
[13:32] ---
    Downhill from this marker...
[13:35] ---
    H-Hey, wait!
[13:40] ---
    Bingo! This is it!
[13:44] ---
    Huh?
[13:45] ---
    Take a look at this.
[13:50] ---
    "Katatataki"
[13:50] ---
    It's a photo of me when I was three.
[13:55] ---
    Oh! So that's why!
[13:58] ---
    Huh? What?
[14:00] ---
    I've been wondering
    every time l look at that photo.
[14:06] ---
    Look.
[14:07] ---
    There's a persimmon on this sign, right?
[14:10] ---
    Huh?
[14:11] ---
    "Katatataki"
[14:12] ---
    Strange, don't you think?
[14:13] ---
    Why would there be a persimmon here?
[14:16] ---
    You're right.
[14:18] ---
    But not enough to bother me.
[14:21] ---
    So I was wondering.
[14:23] ---
    Maybe there's a hint about it
    behind what my body's hiding.
[14:27] ---
    I've always wanted to know.
[14:30] ---
    Come over here.
[14:32] ---
    "Katatataki"
[14:33] ---
    Ta-da!
[14:35] ---
    Look at this!
[14:37] ---
    In Japanese, the word for raccoon dog
    can also mean "take away the 'Ta'"!
[14:39] ---
    Yes?
[14:41] ---
    Take away all the "Ta" from
    the waterfall name "Katatataki."
[14:41] ---
    "Katatataki"
[14:44] ---
    "Kaki"
[14:44] ---
    Kaki.
[14:46] ---
    Yes, the Japanese word for persimmon!
[14:48] ---
    Do you get it now? Surprising, right?
[14:51] ---
    Well, no. It's not anything
    to get too impressed about.
[14:56] ---
    Wow! That's so satisfying!
    I'm so glad I came!
[15:06] ---
    I'm sorry to dampen the mood,
    even though this is a waterfall and all,
[15:10] ---
    but we'd better start
    heading back before it gets dark.
[15:13] ---
    Not to worry.
[15:16] ---
    For our way back, there's
    a bus stop just ahead this way.
[15:20] ---
    "Kuroku Bus"
    "Tanton"
[15:25] ---
    I told you so. Just like I said.
[15:28] ---
    That's incredible.
[15:30] ---
    I don't remember anything
    from when I was three years old.
[15:34] ---
    I figured that.
[15:35] ---
    You don't remember me
    teasing you either, do you?
[15:38] ---
    No... Huh?
[15:45] ---
    Huh?
[15:51] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[16:02] ---
    Welcome!
[16:03] ---
    Huh? Haruka?
[16:06] ---
    Oh, she's taken the day off.
[16:08] ---
    She said she had plans to go somewhere.
[16:11] ---
    So, what would you like to order...
[16:14] ---
    Hey...
[16:21] ---
    Why are you coming after me?
[16:28] ---
    Huh?
[16:29] ---
    Manager?
[16:31] ---
    Oh! I'm glad to see you.
[16:33] ---
    No one would answer, so I was at a loss.
[16:37] ---
    Why are you here?
[16:39] ---
    Well, I thought Haruka
    should be home about now.
[16:43] ---
    From where?
[16:44] ---
    Not sure. She never
    told me where she's going.
[16:47] ---
    Then why visit our home?
[16:49] ---
    Well, that's obvious!
[16:50] ---
    Because she left with Touma.
[16:54] ---
    Hello there.
[16:55] ---
    What are you standing out here for?
[17:03] ---
    Then why don't we go inside?
[17:07] ---
    Let's go in and talk about this at length.
[17:14] ---
    The bus is taking a long time.
[17:16] ---
    You're right. It's taking a little too long.
[17:21] ---
    What's this sheet of paper?
[17:24] ---
    "Kehoten Jiketsu Batesu Yaketesumi"
    "Kuroku Bus"
[17:25] ---
    Huh?
[17:26] ---
    Are these silly riddles
    a tradition around here?
[17:30] ---
    It looks like it was posted here.
[17:33] ---
    Losing hair can mean
    "take away the 'Ke'" in Japanese.
[17:36] ---
    "Kehoten Jiketsu Batesu Yaketesumi"
[17:37] ---
    Hotenjitsu...
[17:39] ---
    Batesu, yatesumi...
[17:41] ---
    Huh? I can't make any sense out of this.
[17:44] ---
    Wait. Look at this drawing.
[17:47] ---
    "Kuroku Bus"
[17:47] ---
    Compared to the old man,
[17:49] ---
    the lost hair is sloppy, and sloppy
    can mean "take away the 'Te.'"
[17:52] ---
    So, this drawing is
    "take away the 'Te' and 'Ke'"!
[17:56] ---
    Huh?
[17:57] ---
    What does it mean after
    omitting "Te" and "Ke"?
[17:59] ---
    "Kehoten Jiketsu Batesuya Ketesumi"
    "The bus will be out of service today"
[18:00] ---
    The bus will be out of service today.
[18:04] ---
    Right?
[18:05] ---
    Sure we solved the puzzle, but...
[18:08] ---
    ...the bus won't be coming
    no matter how long we wait!
[18:12] ---
    Do you have a mobile phone?
[18:13] ---
    No, I don't.
[18:14] ---
    How rare is that?
[18:16] ---
    For two high school students in these
    times to both not have a mobile phone.
[18:21] ---
    Oh boy.
[18:23] ---
    "Tachibana"
[18:24] ---
    They met when they were three?
[18:27] ---
    Those two?
[18:29] ---
    I remember now!
[18:32] ---
    It was during the funeral
    of my previous wife, right?
[18:35] ---
    That's right.
[18:36] ---
    That girl made Touma cry
    when she splashed soda on his face.
[18:41] ---
    Oh, right. So that girl was Haruka.
[18:45] ---
    She made him cry with soda?
[18:47] ---
    Yeah.
[18:51] ---
    Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
[19:06] ---
    The surrounding adults were all crying,
[19:09] ---
    but he alone was romping
    about with a big smile.
[19:11] ---
    It seems she was quite upset about it.
[19:16] ---
    He had trouble realizing
    that his mother had died.
[19:20] ---
    In addition, since he was little,
    he always had the tendency to
[19:23] ---
    get all excited when there
    are a lot of people around.
[19:26] ---
    A big difference between two three-year-olds.
[19:30] ---
    Our Haruka may be different from others.
[19:33] ---
    She clearly remembers what happened then.
[19:37] ---
    So she has this sense
    of nostalgia toward Touma.
[19:42] ---
    Don't break the glass.
[19:44] ---
    She says he turned out
    exactly how she imagined.
[19:47] ---
    She was thrilled to have
    been able to see him again.
[19:51] ---
    Unfortunately, I doubt Touma
    remembers a single thing from then.
[19:56] ---
    Touma might just be Haruka's first love!
[20:04] ---
    Are you all right, Nan?
[20:06] ---
    Are you hurt?
[20:11] ---
    You fool!
[20:12] ---
    At three years old, you
    can hardly call it love.
[20:18] ---
    How old were we?
[20:20] ---
    Huh?
[20:21] ---
    How old were we when we first met Tou?
[20:24] ---
    I was six,
[20:26] ---
    and you were five.
[20:28] ---
    Then I lose.
[20:31] ---
    It's nothing to be competing over.
[20:35] ---
    Whatever the case...
[20:37] ---
    ...they're late.
[20:41] ---
    What is this?
[20:43] ---
    What's going on?
[20:46] ---
    We've walked quite a bit,
[20:48] ---
    but we haven't come across
    a single convenience store.
[20:51] ---
    You're right.
[20:53] ---
    And it's dark everywhere.
[20:56] ---
    This might be something
    we should be worrying about.
[21:01] ---
    I'm going to apologize now before it happens.
[21:03] ---
    Huh?
[21:05] ---
    I'm sorry.
[21:07] ---
    What do you mean, before it happens?
[21:10] ---
    It would be too late after something happens.
[21:13] ---
    After what happens?
[21:15] ---
    Should something happen, you can blame me.
[21:18] ---
    Ah, hold on. So, what do you
    mean by something happening?
[21:22] ---
    Hmm... for example...
[21:24] ---
    No! Something isn't right here!
[21:27] ---
    This is a wide, paved road!
[21:29] ---
    How could there not be
    a single car passing us?!
[21:35] ---
    Speak of the devil, right?
[21:38] ---
    Yes!

[23:25] ---
    The one who saved Touma and Haruka,
    who were lost in the dark, mountain roads,
[23:29] ---
    was the bus belonging to the terrifying
    Seinan High School baseball club.
[23:32] ---
    They are bombarded by questions coming
    from the Nishimura father and son.
[23:36] ---
    This bus is haunted with spirits and goblins!
[23:38] ---
    Will they be able to return home alive?!
[23:40] ---
    What will happen to the two?!

[00:00] ---
    A long, long time ago...
[00:05] ---
    ...the two who were stranded in
    the mountains, unable to get home...
[00:07] ---
    "Seinan High School Baseball Team"
[00:10] ---
    ...were saved by the
    Sainan High School Team bus,
[00:13] ---
    or so the story goes.
[00:17] ---
    Just a walk... you say?
[00:21] ---
    Yes.
[00:22] ---
    Alone with a girl along such a dark road?
[00:25] ---
    It couldn't be helped!
[00:27] ---
    We didn't know the bus wasn't running today.
[00:31] ---
    So what's your relationship?
[00:34] ---
    We're childhood friends.
[00:37] ---
    W-Wait a minute!
    We never really knew each other!
[00:41] ---
    Childhood friends, huh?
[00:45] ---
    I like how that sounds.
[00:47] ---
    Ah, but, like I'm saying,
    I have absolutely no memory of...
[00:51] ---
    Darn you! It's not fair!
[00:53] ---
    To have such a cute childhood friend!
[00:55] ---
    What's unfair about it?
[00:57] ---
    It's a tradition that runs
    in Meisei High School.
[01:02] ---
    Oh, come to think of it, Nishimura.
[01:05] ---
    Lend me your mobile phone.
[01:06] ---
    It's gotten awfully late,
    so I want to call my folks.
[01:10] ---
    What's this?
[01:11] ---
    You're a high-schooler in these times
    and don't even have a smart phone?
[01:16] ---
    Shut up.
[01:18] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[01:21] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:24] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:28] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:30] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:33] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:36] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:26] ---
    Hello, Tachibana residence.
[03:29] ---
    Tou? Where are you now?
[03:32] ---
    Huh? Raccoon dog?
[03:35] ---
    Take away the "Te" and "Ke"?
[03:38] ---
    I don't get it.
[03:39] ---
    Is Haruka with you?
[03:41] ---
    Huh? Ah, yes, yes.
[03:44] ---
    Anyway, I'll talk to you about it later.
[03:48] ---
    I should be home within an hour.
[03:50] ---
    What? Is that Otomi?
[03:52] ---
    Give me the phone!
[03:54] ---
    Hey!
[03:55] ---
    Otomi? It's Nishimura speaking!
[03:59] ---
    Huh? Well, no. It's not Shimura.
[04:03] ---
    Huh? Ikariya? No, not that.
[04:06] ---
    Tenth grader from Seinan High School,
    Takumi Nishimura.
[04:10] ---
    All of Japan will be talking about me
    when the summer Koshien begins.
[04:13] ---
    The ace pitcher of the Seinan baseball team
    in only his first year of high school.
[04:17] ---
    You see, we had an expedition match today.
[04:19] ---
    I got a shutout, but they got
    a whole two hits against me.
[04:23] ---
    I know I should've done better.
[04:26] ---
    Huh? We got disconnected.
[04:27] ---
    Redial. Redial.
[04:30] ---
    --I heard Mita of Toushu pitched a
    perfect game against you in a practice game.
[04:32] ---
    --Huh? It won't connect.
    --I heard Mita of Toushu pitched a
    perfect game against you in a practice game.
[04:37] ---
    He did.
[04:40] ---
    We were outdone by him in every respect.
[04:44] ---
    A complete defeat.
[04:47] ---
    --However...
    --I'm still unable to connect.
[04:50] ---
    I also heard in the same game,
    you pitched seven innings against
[04:54] ---
    that Toushu lineup and
    limited them to no runs and two hits.
[04:57] ---
    --Ah, yeah, but it was only a practice game.
    --Well, I'm sure it'll connect again.
[05:01] ---
    Obviously!
[05:04] ---
    --Don't you forget that it's totally
    different from an official game.
[05:07] ---
    --Huh?
    --Don't you forget that it's totally
    different from an official game.
[05:09] ---
    That's strange.
    Perhaps the connection is weak.
[05:12] ---
    --It disconnects right away.
[05:12] ---
    --You've been paying a lot of attention
    toward the Meisei baseball team.
    --It disconnects right away.
[05:18] ---
    --Just thinking I'd llike to battle them
    at the summer tournament for a change.
    --Shucks, it still won't connect.
[05:22] ---
    --But it's easier said than done.
    --Maybe the battery's dead.
[05:25] ---
    Because every year, by the time we reach
    the third round, they've been eliminated.
[05:29] ---
    Meisei High School.
[05:31] ---
    No worries there.
    They won't be eliminated this year.
[05:35] ---
    Home... phone... Home phone?!
[05:38] ---
    --Because we have Touma Tachibana on our team.
    --That's got a nice ring to it.
[05:40] ---
    So you'll be able to face them,
    as long as you're not eliminated before that.
[05:44] ---
    For certain.
[05:49] ---
    That's how a childhood friend should be.
[05:51] ---
    Ah, but, like I said,
    we never really knew each other.
[05:55] ---
    Hello! Otomi?
[05:58] ---
    Hello!
[06:01] ---
    "Try Pitching"
[06:01] ---
    He-llo!!
[06:08] ---
    Sunday.
[06:31] ---
    He's doing it on purpose!
[06:33] ---
    He's got great bat control.
[06:36] ---
    I explained everything to you!
[06:38] ---
    That it was just a walk yesterday!
[06:41] ---
    We were late due to some bad luck... Yelp!
[06:45] ---
    He was simply shocked.
[06:47] ---
    To learn that this guy existed in her mind
[06:50] ---
    long before he even met her.
[06:53] ---
    Like I said, I don't remember
    a thing about that.
[06:57] ---
    Yeah, I know that.
    I know how terrible your memory is.
[07:02] ---
    Until I was three years old, that is!
[07:05] ---
    Switch batters!
[07:07] ---
    OK, it's my turn.
[07:09] ---
    You'd better watch out.
[07:11] ---
    I've got better bat control than that guy.
[07:19] ---
    Yay.
[07:21] ---
    What are you looking at, Koma?
[07:23] ---
    Oh, right now, Otomi is hanging
    the underwear she just washed.
[07:29] ---
    What are you doing?
[07:31] ---
    Those are my words, exactly!
[07:35] ---
    That's dangerous!
[07:46] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[07:48] ---
    A burglar!
[07:49] ---
    Watch out! He's got a knife!
[07:54] ---
    Move, old maid!
[08:07] ---
    Who are you calling old maid?!
[08:09] ---
    I'm sorry!
[08:11] ---
    Lady, I think that's enough.
[08:37] ---
    "Examination room"
[08:38] ---
    OK. I got it. It's suffering
    from summer heat fatigue.
[08:42] ---
    But we're not even in the rainy season.
[08:44] ---
    Then it's eating too much.
[08:46] ---
    What do you mean, "Then"?
    Check him properly.
[08:50] ---
    He's been looking exhausted,
    and won't make a sound.
[08:54] ---
    Not to worry. When it gets hungry,
    it'll make a sound.
[08:58] ---
    Given that figure and greedy expression,
    there's no question about it.
[09:02] ---
    It's been eating too much!
[09:04] ---
    "Precise Diagnosis
    Hakke Animal Hospital"
[09:04] ---
    OK, next person!
[09:08] ---
    Give me a break.
[09:10] ---
    If something should happen, I'll sue you!
[09:21] ---
    "Disappearing Deadline"
    "Nagisa Tsukikage"
    "'Team Sketch' faces their toughest challenge"
[09:26] ---
    It just came out. I hear it's selling well.
[09:29] ---
    Don't let her in while I'm away.
[09:32] ---
    What's the problem?
    It's not like you got divorced.
[09:36] ---
    You're just separated, right?
[09:37] ---
    She moved out on her own!
[09:40] ---
    She said that when she looked at
[09:42] ---
    my face every day,
    she could only write comedies.
[09:45] ---
    Mom has talent.
[09:47] ---
    And she felt that if she didn't pursue it then,
    she'd regret it for the rest of her life.
[09:52] ---
    But is that the right attitude as a mother?!
[09:55] ---
    Mom trusts me.
[09:58] ---
    And she thought that as long as you have me
[10:01] ---
    by your side, there's nothing to worry about.
[10:04] ---
    Now, is it right for a
    father to be like that?
[10:07] ---
    I have two parents
    who both pursue their dreams.
[10:10] ---
    I feel blessed.
[10:14] ---
    "Disappearing Deadline"
    "Nagisa Tsukikage"
    "'Team Sketch' faces their toughest challenge"
[10:15] ---
    Is this book selling well?
[10:17] ---
    I hear it pays a ton on royalties.
[10:20] ---
    You didn't receive money from her, did you?!
[10:24] ---
    Mom tried to leave money
    with me, but I declined.
[10:27] ---
    Because I thought you would hate that.
[10:31] ---
    You did? Good.
[10:36] ---
    How much was she going to give you?
[10:39] ---
    Huh?
[10:40] ---
    Huh? No, never mind.
[11:06] ---
    "Soda"
[11:29] ---
    Why are you making all that noise?
[11:31] ---
    Sorry.
[11:33] ---
    It's like I got something stuck in my throat.
[11:36] ---
    I'll go and gargle.
[11:39] ---
    I hear that it's good to gargle
    with soda at times like this.
[11:43] ---
    You're surprisingly an
    awfully persistent guy.
[11:59] ---
    What are you doing here?
[12:02] ---
    Punch still won't let out a cry.
[12:06] ---
    There will be days like this.
[12:08] ---
    The vet told you not to worry, right?
[12:11] ---
    I can't trust that doctor!
[12:14] ---
    He didn't properly check Punch.
[12:16] ---
    But he's a pro,
    so at least Punch won't be dying.
[12:20] ---
    Don't say that!
[12:30] ---
    I hardly remember it myself.
[12:36] ---
    About my dad.
[12:38] ---
    So I doubt I could cry when he died.
[12:43] ---
    Mom tells me that he was a very kind dad
[12:45] ---
    and that he treated me
    with a lot of affection.
[12:52] ---
    But it's sad, to have a
    dad like that pass away
[12:54] ---
    and not even be able to cry about it.
[12:58] ---
    Would you have wanted
    the help of soda to make you cry?
[13:07] ---
    But seeing him so quiet certainly
    is reason to be worried.
[13:13] ---
    Right?!
[13:14] ---
    But that quack says Punch just ate too much!
[13:18] ---
    Ate too much?
[13:20] ---
    He said Punch will cry for food
    when hungry, so not to worry.
[13:23] ---
    But I've only given him
    the usual amount of food!
[13:26] ---
    You gave him food?
[13:28] ---
    "Punch"
[13:28] ---
    When?
[13:29] ---
    Early evening.
[13:31] ---
    I also gave him food in the early evening.
[13:34] ---
    Huh?
[13:35] ---
    Because his bowl was empty.
[13:37] ---
    It was empty when I gave him food, too.
[13:44] ---
    Huh?
[13:57] ---
    Punch will cry for food when hungry,
    so not to worry, right?
[14:06] ---
    Would you mind if I hit this dog once?
[14:10] ---
    Take it easy on him.
[14:33] ---
    Wow, so nice. I want to join her.
[14:42] ---
    Good!
[14:43] ---
    What was so good about that?!
[14:45] ---
    You've returned to your old habit again!
[14:48] ---
    Huh?
[14:49] ---
    You're spreading your body
    and releasing the ball too early.
[14:53] ---
    Show me how you're pitching.
[14:56] ---
    You got it wrong.
[15:09] ---
    OK!
[15:13] ---
    Now go for a run again.
[15:15] ---
    Sure.
[15:20] ---
    Souichirou!
[15:33] ---
    Try pitching.
[15:40] ---
    Huh?
[15:46] ---
    "1986 68th Koshien
    National High School Tournament
    Champions Meisei High School"
[15:48] ---
    Ever since that summer,
[15:50] ---
    "Meisei High School Champions
    in their First Appearance!!
    Ace Uesugi Standing Strong"
[15:50] ---
    he had always adored
    Meisei's number one uniform.
[15:55] ---
    After his seniors left the team,
    from the previous autumn,
[15:58] ---
    Eisuke Tachibana became
    the number two starting pitcher.
[16:02] ---
    Not only that, the top
    starting pitcher Obokata
[16:05] ---
    lost his pitching form and continued
    having problems getting back on track.
[16:09] ---
    Then, being in his senior year
    and last summer tournament,
[16:13] ---
    it was a great chance
    to earn the number one uniform.
[16:17] ---
    And yet...
[16:29] ---
    Well, Tachibana? His stuff
    is far better, right?
[16:33] ---
    Compared to who?
[16:40] ---
    Don't let it bother you, Tachibana.
[16:42] ---
    The uniform number is just a number.
[16:45] ---
    So you're telling me,
    the decision's already been made.
[16:51] ---
    Do you like number eleven or number twelve?
[16:57] ---
    Give it up, Tachibana.
[17:04] ---
    His stuff is much better.
[17:20] ---
    He throws with such a
    pretty form, like always.
[17:23] ---
    Was he a pitcher?
[17:26] ---
    Huh? Didn't you know?
[17:29] ---
    On their team in elementary school,
[17:31] ---
    he and Touma competed over
    who'd become the ace pitcher.
[17:34] ---
    He can compete for the position even now.
[17:37] ---
    If he wishes to, then yes.
[17:46] ---
    Why did you give up becoming a pitcher?
[17:49] ---
    I lost in rock-paper-scissors.
[17:51] ---
    Huh?
[17:53] ---
    When we entered junior high,
[17:55] ---
    we decided who'd be pitcher
    with rock-paper-scissors.
[17:58] ---
    Huh?!
[17:59] ---
    I was confident I'd win,
    in rock-paper-scissors.
[18:04] ---
    I believe that was the one and only time
[18:07] ---
    I lost to him in rock-paper-scissors.
[18:10] ---
    He's got it.
[18:12] ---
    Huh?
[18:13] ---
    He's got that type of
    strong luck on his side.
[18:17] ---
    Are you really OK with that?!
[18:20] ---
    I've always had a disadvantage.
[18:23] ---
    Disadvantage?
[18:24] ---
    Because when he pitches,
    he's got Souichirou Tachibana to throw to,
[18:28] ---
    but that's not possible when I pitch.
[18:37] ---
    It looks like I've got it, too!
[18:40] ---
    That strong luck! Right?!
[18:43] ---
    Rock-paper-scissors.
[18:58] ---
    "Meisei Junior High School"
[19:05] ---
    Akai!
[19:11] ---
    Hi.
[19:12] ---
    Hi, Otomi!
[19:16] ---
    Whatever. Don't look away.
[19:18] ---
    OK!
[19:21] ---
    Natsuno's doing well.
[19:23] ---
    Yeah. When it comes
    to baseball, it's not all talk.
[19:27] ---
    He loves to practice,
[19:29] ---
    and he studies the game with enthusiasm.
[19:34] ---
    In any case, his form is
    becoming very similar.
[19:37] ---
    Huh?
[19:39] ---
    To Tou's form.
[19:42] ---
    Although Tou's form originally came from Sou.
[19:48] ---
    Your two brothers get along well.
[19:51] ---
    But they never hold back,
    so they're always fighting.
[19:56] ---
    Do you have any siblings, Akai?
[20:00] ---
    I do.
[20:02] ---
    I have one older brother.
[20:05] ---
    As someone with great athletic skills,
[20:08] ---
    was selecting baseball not an option?
[20:11] ---
    No, it wasn't.
[20:13] ---
    It wasn't for just baseball.
[20:19] ---
    Ryou! How long do you plan to stare at me?!
[20:22] ---
    Hurry and get back to soccer practice!
[20:25] ---
    Oops. You're right.
[20:27] ---
    Bye! See you again, Natsuno!
[20:30] ---
    Have fun at practice.
[20:32] ---
    Hey, come on!
[20:34] ---
    You don't have to leave, Otomi!
[20:47] ---
    What's there?
[20:49] ---
    That's Kenjyou High School.
[20:50] ---
    It used to be called Sumi Tech,
[20:53] ---
    but they changed the name a few years ago.
[20:59] ---
    The opponent Meisei
    High School faced in the final,
[21:03] ---
    the year they made it to Koshien.
[21:08] ---
    Though they're now no more
    than a participating school.
[21:11] ---
    Both baseball teams.
[21:14] ---
    Would you shut up?!
[21:20] ---
    Did a big fish make a splash or something?
[21:26] ---
    Now, then...
[21:28] ---
    Let's both do our best,
    school formerly known as Sumi Tech.
[21:38] ---
    At this stage,
[21:41] ---
    all participating schools
    still have a chance.
[21:45] ---
    The road to Koshien.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Hey, Haruka. What do you
    recommend at Ramen Dragon?
[23:29] ---
    Gyoza dumplings and our special ramen!
[23:30] ---
    Sounds delicious!
    Especially when it's called "special"!
[23:33] ---
    Also, our special tenmen
    and special dandan noodles!
[23:35] ---
    I see, I see.
[23:37] ---
    Also Ryuichi special black vinegar
    ankake, with everything on top!
[23:39] ---
    That sounds incredible...

    "Aren't You Taking Him Lightly?"

    Next time, "Aren't You Taking Him Lightly?"
[23:44] ---
    But the best has to be our kiriboshi daikon.

[00:09] ---
    The rainy season's approaching.
[00:13] ---
    It's about to begin again this year, Daisuke!
[00:20] ---
    Such a gloomy season.
[00:23] ---
    Tournament match-ups will
    be drawn on the twenty-first.
[00:27] ---
    Opening ceremonies on the fifth, next month.
[00:30] ---
    Wh-What might you be talking about?
[00:36] ---
    I wonder.
[00:41] ---
    I hear he hasn't given up any
    runs yet in his practice games.
[00:47] ---
    You sure saw great things
    in that "third baseman."
[00:53] ---
    Darn.
[00:54] ---
    It might actually become
    possible to face them for a change.
[00:58] ---
    Meisei High School... at the summer tournament.
[01:03] ---
    If I had a choice, I'd rather not.
[01:07] ---
    If I beat them up too badly,
[01:10] ---
    Otomi might no longer like me.
[01:13] ---
    You talk as if right now she likes you.
[01:17] ---
    Sure she likes me!
[01:18] ---
    The other day, she made me
    her homemade Napolitan spaghetti!
[01:24] ---
    Just because we're father and son,
    there's no need to be so much like me.
[01:28] ---
    Huh?
[01:30] ---
    Well, anyway...
[01:31] ---
    The only enemy on our way to Koshien
    is Hiroki Mita of Toushu High School!
[01:40] ---
    Let's hope that's the case.
[01:43] ---
    Tokyo is big, you know.
[01:47] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[01:50] ---
    The Meisei baseball team that became champions
[01:53] ---
    of their first tournament is returning.
[01:57] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:59] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[02:02] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[02:05] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:54] ---
    Sheesh, this sticky kind of rain is so gross.
[04:03] ---
    Huh?
[04:05] ---
    What's wrong?
[04:06] ---
    That guy.
[04:10] ---
    Do you know him?
[04:11] ---
    Yeah. He's Otomi's classmate.
[04:16] ---
    So this is where he lives.
[04:18] ---
    "Akai"
[04:30] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:33] ---
    --Huh?
    --What's wrong?
[04:35] ---
    That girl.
[04:41] ---
    Do you know her?
[04:42] ---
    Yeah. She's Otomi's classmate.
[04:48] ---
    You're in my way.
[04:55] ---
    "Tomohito Akai"
[05:03] ---
    Hello!
[05:05] ---
    I'm Ryou's classmate. My name is Mita.
[05:11] ---
    I heard that Ryou had
    to stay home today with a cold.
[05:15] ---
    I was worried, so...
[05:22] ---
    ...I came... to see...
[05:25] ---
    He's not home.
[05:27] ---
    Huh?
[05:28] ---
    My little brother did not catch a cold.
[05:31] ---
    He simply skipped school.
[05:34] ---
    He's gone off to play and hasn't returned home.
[05:37] ---
    Why would you tell a pointless lie like that?
[05:41] ---
    Moments ago, he was standing by
    the second floor window in his pajamas,
[05:45] ---
    wringing a towel and coughing.
[05:47] ---
    Who are you guys?
[05:50] ---
    We were just passing by.
[05:52] ---
    Then hurry and pass by, would you?
[05:55] ---
    What's wrong with you?!
[05:57] ---
    She went through the trouble of
    seeing how he is, so let him know!
[06:00] ---
    Never mind!
[06:03] ---
    I happened to drop by
    because I was in the area.
[06:06] ---
    I could do without the hassle.
    I'm leaving. Goodbye.
[06:09] ---
    Wait!
[06:11] ---
    Clean up after yourself.
[06:23] ---
    Why are you still here?
[06:26] ---
    Even in light rain, without
    an umbrella, you could catch a cold.
[06:31] ---
    Did you see his bag?
[06:34] ---
    Huh?
[06:35] ---
    He's with the Kenjyou
    High School Baseball Team.
[06:40] ---
    Oh?
[06:42] ---
    Formerly Sumi Tech.
[06:48] ---
    Will our Punch become
    like that in a few years, too?
[06:52] ---
    Hey, wait! What do you
    mean "like that"? How rude!
[06:57] ---
    Hi there. Tea is being served.
[07:00] ---
    I must say, your family
    really gets along, Otomi.
[07:05] ---
    Must be rare
[07:07] ---
    for two people on their second
    marriage to get along so well.
[07:10] ---
    Do you think so?
[07:12] ---
    Yeah it is. It's really rare.
[07:15] ---
    Otomi, how old would
    your late father be if he were alive?
[07:19] ---
    Let's see... forty... one, I think.
[07:23] ---
    Oh, my! He's the same age as me!
[07:29] ---
    He passed away awfully young.
[07:33] ---
    He sure did.
[07:35] ---
    What was your last name
    before the marriage?
[07:37] ---
    Sawai.
[07:38] ---
    Sawai? And his first name?
[07:42] ---
    Your late father!
[07:44] ---
    Keiichi.
[07:46] ---
    Keiichi Sawai?!
[07:48] ---
    Humph!
[07:57] ---
    Hey, hey!
[07:58] ---
    Would it happen to be this person? Your father!
[08:02] ---
    Huh?
[08:07] ---
    It looks like him.
[08:08] ---
    Yay! Yay!
[08:10] ---
    --Yay!
    --What's gotten into you, Mom?
[08:13] ---
    That man is your mother's first love.
[08:18] ---
    Huh?
[08:44] ---
    "Aren't You Taking Him Lightly?"
[08:56] ---
    I'm going to borrow the ladder.
[09:00] ---
    Ah, Sou.
[09:02] ---
    Hm?
[09:05] ---
    Um...
[09:07] ---
    Where did Otomi go, again?
[09:09] ---
    She's at Yoshiko's.
[09:11] ---
    You know, where we got Punch from.
[09:14] ---
    Ah, yes. Of course.
[09:25] ---
    Souichirou! Dear Touma!
[09:28] ---
    I don't care who goes first!
    Hurry and take your bath!
[09:33] ---
    She says either one of us can go.
[09:36] ---
    Rock-paper-scissors!
[09:41] ---
    Please go ahead.
[09:43] ---
    Thanks. As always.
[10:05] ---
    What's up?
[10:06] ---
    I was at Yoshiko's place today.
[10:10] ---
    I know.
[10:11] ---
    But you didn't know that Yoshiko's mother was
[10:17] ---
    our late dad's classmate
    at Meisei High School, did you?
[10:22] ---
    I was so surprised!
[10:24] ---
    Dad was a baseball player. Not only that--
[10:27] ---
    The ace pitcher in his first year.
[10:29] ---
    And I hear they made it to
    the quarterfinals that summer.
[10:35] ---
    Who did you hear that from?
[10:41] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Cuisine"
[10:41] ---
    But really, you seem to
    know everything, shop master!
[10:46] ---
    That is mighty impressive.
[10:49] ---
    Of course I know!
[10:50] ---
    I still cannot forget the thrill from
    that summer of the championship year.
[10:55] ---
    I've been following the Meisei baseball team,
    and it wasn't even my high school.
SIGN    "Beer (small) 300 (big) 500, Gyoza 300, Fried rice 650, Rice 150, Ramen with roasted pork 800, Soba with assorted toppings 700, Soba with meat 700, Ramen with egg 650, Ramen with green onion 700,
[11:00] ---
    In the past, I wouldn't miss
    a practice game or official game.
SIGN    Ramen with cabbage 700,
    Ramen with bean sprouts 700,
    Ramen with takana pickles 700, Ramen in salty broth 600, Ramen in miso broth 600"
[11:04] ---
    I'd close shop every time there was a game,
[11:06] ---
    so the coffee shop I ran at the time
    went out of business in no time.
[11:10] ---
    Wow, what a nice story.
[11:13] ---
    About him failing as an adult?
[11:17] ---
    But the truth is,
    these past few years,
[11:20] ---
    I can't say I'm motivated enough
    to go as far as to close shop.
[11:24] ---
    The sluggish period has extended for too long.
[11:28] ---
    I'm sorry about that.
[11:30] ---
    Here you are. Your gyoza.
[11:32] ---
    Thanks so much.
[11:34] ---
    But this year, I'm going. To cheer you on.
[11:38] ---
    Huh? Well, thank you for that.
[11:42] ---
    It's not because you manage the team.
[11:45] ---
    Huh?
[11:46] ---
    Because of Keiichi Sawai! Keiichi Sawai!
[11:52] ---
    Ever since Meisei won
    the national championship,
[11:55] ---
    Sawai is the only pitcher
    to leave such a strong impression
[12:00] ---
    and give us something to dream about.
[12:02] ---
    Do you remember the catcher from back then?
[12:05] ---
    He was the captain, in his senior year.
[12:09] ---
    Who cares about someone like that?
[12:12] ---
    In any case, although it
    was for just a few games,
[12:15] ---
    who could ever forget that pitching?
[12:20] ---
    And I hear you've got the son of Keiichi Sawai!
[12:25] ---
    I don't remember anyone
    named Sawai in grade ten.
[12:29] ---
    It's Tachibana.
[12:30] ---
    Huh?
[12:32] ---
    Souichirou Tachibana.
[12:35] ---
    Sawai is Souichirou and Otomi's late father.
[12:41] ---
    He was that great a pitcher?
[12:44] ---
    Yeah. Of all Meisei pitchers after
    Meisei High School's championship year,
[12:49] ---
    he's unmistakably number one.
[12:51] ---
    Right? Right?
[12:53] ---
    Since I agree,
    and I was the captain of that team
[12:55] ---
    and catcher who caught his
    pitches, it must be true.
[13:00] ---
    Oh, manager, this one's on the house.
[13:03] ---
    Have some kiriboshi daikon.
[13:25] ---
    "Houhoku"
    "Kenjyou"
[13:35] ---
    Is it true?
[13:36] ---
    Is this team really Kenjyou?
[13:41] ---
    Their starting lineup mostly
    consists of first-year players.
[13:44] ---
    Including that guy batting fourth
    who just hit the home run.
[13:56] ---
    A first-year player.
[13:58] ---
    What's his name?
[14:00] ---
    Akai...
[14:02] ---
    His name is Tomohito Akai.
[14:11] ---
    Formerly Sumi Tech.
[14:14] ---
    That's right. It used to be Sumi Tech.
[14:19] ---
    In that summer tournament,
[14:21] ---
    they played Meisei High School
    for the right to take part in Koshien.
[14:44] ---
    Right now, just like Meisei High School,
[14:48] ---
    they've distanced themselves from Koshien.
[14:52] ---
    That school that used to be Sumi Tech.
[14:58] ---
    Darn it. I didn't have enough lunch.
[15:09] ---
    So you heard about it.
[15:13] ---
    About your late father,
[15:15] ---
    from Ramen Dragon's shop master.
[15:19] ---
    Yes, in great detail.
[15:21] ---
    About your father's dashed hopes, too?
[15:24] ---
    Yes.
[15:25] ---
    I see.
[15:27] ---
    Then how about trying to
    become the ace pitcher again?
[15:34] ---
    Aren't you taking him lightly? Touma?
[15:37] ---
    Hm?
[15:39] ---
    I don't know how great a pitcher my father was,
[15:45] ---
    but I don't believe Touma will lose.
[15:56] ---
    Well, excuse me.
[16:05] ---
    The Tachibana brothers.
[16:10] ---
    And also...
[16:19] ---
    Koshien.
[16:23] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Cuisine"
[16:24] ---
    --But really, you seem to
    know everything, shop master.
    --I'd love to go to that spa that just opened.
[16:28] ---
    Of course I know!
[16:30] ---
    I still cannot forget the thrill from
    that summer of the championship year.
[16:34] ---
    I've been following the Meisei baseball team,
    and it wasn't even my high school.
[16:39] ---
    Really. What a big surprise. I mean it.
[16:43] ---
    Anyway, like I said earlier,
[16:45] ---
    Meisei High School's number one pitcher
    after their national championship is...
[16:50] ---
    Keiichi Sawai, right?
[16:52] ---
    That's right!
[16:54] ---
    As a member of Meisei's baseball team,
    do not forget that name.
[16:58] ---
    Keiichi Sawai. Keiichi Sawai. There.
[17:02] ---
    So, is the ramen I ordered earlier ready?
[17:05] ---
    Oops!
[17:06] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Cuisine"
[17:06] ---
    An order of ramen
    that's become soggy! Enjoy!
[17:09] ---
    How can I enjoy noodles
    that have gone soggy?!
[17:13] ---
    "Punch"
[17:14] ---
    "National High School Baseball Championship:
[17:17] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament Outlook."
[17:20] ---
    "Toushu High School are the favorites,
    followed by Seinan and Seijyou."
[17:24] ---
    Then we have Sankou, Senkawa,
[17:27] ---
    Seishuu High School, Meiwa Daiichi...
[17:32] ---
    There's not a word mentioned about Meisei.
[17:34] ---
    Never mind and read on.
[17:38] ---
    Other players to watch out for include
[17:41] ---
    Shibata, the lefty from Kabaura,
[17:43] ---
    Ogasawara, the catcher with a
    strong shoulder from Minato Shougyou,
[17:47] ---
    and Akai, in tenth grade
    but hitting cleanup for Kenjyou.
[17:53] ---
    There's not a word mentioned
    about the Tachibana brothers.
[17:55] ---
    That's his brother.
[17:57] ---
    Huh?
[17:58] ---
    They did mention Akai.
[18:02] ---
    Do you have any siblings, Ryou?
[18:04] ---
    I do.
[18:06] ---
    I have one older brother.
[18:08] ---
    He's apparently been a well-known
    batter since he was in junior high.
[18:12] ---
    Oh?
[18:14] ---
    Call it fate.
[18:15] ---
    It seems those who have older brothers
    with baseball talent gather around you.
[18:22] ---
    The younger sister of the ace pitcher
    of the East Tokyo Tournament favorites,
[18:26] ---
    and the younger brother of
    a noted first year cleanup hitter.
[18:30] ---
    The younger sister of Japan's best battery.
[18:39] ---
    It seems Mom really knew nothing about it.
[18:43] ---
    I know they only met after they began working.
[18:47] ---
    And I know Dad didn't talk much.
[18:49] ---
    But it's still surprising.
[18:53] ---
    It was the quarterfinals of
    the East Tokyo Tournament.
[18:56] ---
    He kept the opponents scoreless
    up to the seventh inning.
[18:59] ---
    While covering first base,
    he came in contact with the runner.
[19:03] ---
    His pitching arm got spiked,
    rupturing a ligament.
[19:07] ---
    He would never return to the mound again.
[19:11] ---
    But he remained with the baseball team
    as their scorekeeper until he graduated.
[19:15] ---
    He continued to smile as he always did.
[19:21] ---
    My dream was to wear
    Meisei's number 1 uniform.
[19:26] ---
    But to him, none of that mattered.
[19:29] ---
    The number had little meaning.
[19:32] ---
    But still, you should not be
    stealing other people's uniforms.
[19:35] ---
    This is my uniform!
[19:38] ---
    He gave me his number after his operation!
[19:42] ---
    Because it became famous throughout school
[19:44] ---
    how I would stare at
    the uniform like I wanted it!
[19:47] ---
    That's not something to shout about.
[19:50] ---
    Sawai had said that the
    number 1 uniform belongs to a senior.
[19:55] ---
    But the manager insisted that there was
[19:58] ---
    too great a difference in talent
    and that a first year ace would be cooler.
[20:02] ---
    Did that manager say anything that's untrue?
[20:08] ---
    Well, never mind that.
[20:11] ---
    Changing the subject, are we?
[20:13] ---
    After being eliminated in their first game
[20:15] ---
    two years in a row, the Meisei baseball team
    had completely lost confidence.
[20:19] ---
    But he had a habit of saying this.
[20:23] ---
    "Let's go to Koshien! Let's go to Koshien!"
[20:27] ---
    And that didn't change,
    even after he could no longer pitch.
[20:31] ---
    He really loved baseball.
[20:34] ---
    And he really loved the Meisei baseball team.
[20:40] ---
    His wife may have had
    no interest in baseball whatsoever,
[20:44] ---
    but I'm sure there were many things
    he would've liked to tell his two kids.
[20:49] ---
    Especially Sou. Right?
[20:53] ---
    You're right. I'm sure.
[20:57] ---
    A legendary ace and a uniform number thief.
[21:01] ---
    Like I'm telling you, I didn't steal it!
[21:04] ---
    Don't worry, Touma!
[21:06] ---
    You've inherited more than my talent!
[21:09] ---
    Your late mother was an
    ace softball pitcher in high school,
[21:13] ---
    and finished runner up
    at the national tournament!
[21:16] ---
    --The nickname she got from
    her lively pitching style was--
[21:18] ---
    --Sorry to interrupt you,
    --The nickname she got from
    her lively pitching style was--
[21:20] ---
    --but we should be going to practice.
    --Hey Sou.
[21:23] ---
    --Let's go, Touma.
    --I was about to... Hey...
[21:24] ---
    --Roger that.
    --I was about to... Hey...
[21:26] ---
    Oh, by the way.
[21:29] ---
    That talked-about first-year
    cleanup hitter. Ryou's brother.
[21:33] ---
    If we continue winning,
    do we have a chance of facing him?
[21:37] ---
    Sure we do.
[21:40] ---
    Even if we don't continue winning.
[21:43] ---
    Huh?

    "Kenjo High School"
[00:11] ---
    Are those guys really
    still in their first year?
[00:15] ---
    Will their student card be required?
[00:17] ---
    No, no.
[00:19] ---
    In any case, this lineup is a real threat.
[00:24] ---
    Hard to say how well we'll do.
[00:27] ---
    We won't know until we play some games.
[00:32] ---
    After all, I'm also in
    my first year as a manager.
[00:37] ---
    About your first opponent,
    Meisei High School...
[00:40] ---
    This will be the team's first game
    against them in some time.
[00:43] ---
    By the way, we're having
    difficulty getting data on them.
[00:46] ---
    Would you have any information
    concerning Meisei High School?
[00:50] ---
    Let's see. I did hear
    they have a new manager.
[00:55] ---
    The team hasn't been
    too strong lately, after all.
[00:59] ---
    That's no different from our team.
[01:01] ---
    I wouldn't say that.
[01:02] ---
    Kenjo is in fact in the
    spotlight this summer.
[01:12] ---
    I hear you raised the
    right fence because of Akai.
[01:16] ---
    Yes. Because he was losing too many balls.
[01:33] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[01:36] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:39] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:43] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:45] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:48] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:51] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:40] ---
    How many hours is it taking you
    to deliver something simple like that?
[03:44] ---
    Then why don't you come and get it yourself?
[03:48] ---
    I'm in training camp preparing for
    the tournament. I haven't got the time.
[03:53] ---
    The game is at 10 a.m. on the ninth.
[03:55] ---
    Will you come to cheer for us?
[03:58] ---
    I can't. I've got classes.
[04:00] ---
    Even if I could, I wouldn't
    be cheering for you.
[04:05] ---
    Of course. I had forgotten
    that our first opponent is Meisei.
[04:12] ---
    Then it would be for your
    own good not to watch the game.
[04:15] ---
    I wonder about that.
[04:19] ---
    I suggest you do the proper research
[04:22] ---
    on Meisei's baseball team.
[04:31] ---
    "Because We're Brothers"
[04:39] ---
    Nangou!
[04:44] ---
    --Hey!
    --Hey! Shirou!
[04:46] ---
    Huh?
[04:47] ---
    What are you doing?!
[04:51] ---
    Lower your hip! Bring the
    glove up to the ball!
[04:55] ---
    Batting alone won't get
    you a spot in the starting order!
[04:59] ---
    Balls hit by Kenjo batters are
    nothing like those hit by that old man!
[05:04] ---
    Hey, cool it.
[05:05] ---
    Especially their third,
    fifth, and seventh batters!
[05:09] ---
    Third baseman, you also need
    to watch out for soft hit balls
[05:12] ---
    of the fast-running first and second hitters!
[05:14] ---
    She's heckling in great detail.
[05:17] ---
    Yeah. I had her go to observe
    a Kenjo practice game the other day.
[05:22] ---
    She's quite accurate with her observations.
[05:26] ---
    As for their left-handed Akai hitting fourth,
    do not throw him any easy pitches!
[05:32] ---
    What are you doing, Miss Ooyama?!
[05:35] ---
    You're skipping practice
    to spend time out here?
[05:38] ---
    Oh, hello.
[05:39] ---
    This is always the case with you!
[05:42] ---
    Do you have any intention of
    seriously doing rhythmic gymnastics?!
[05:49] ---
    Huh? Wait. There's no need to think it over.
[05:52] ---
    Because you are our rhythmic
    gymnastic club's ray of hope.
[05:56] ---
    Now, please come with me.
[05:59] ---
    So? What did her observation tell us?
[06:02] ---
    A team with a powerful lineup
    and great mobility, as rumored.
[06:06] ---
    As rumored, he says.
[06:09] ---
    I see.
[06:11] ---
    Which tells us, they're
    not better than rumored.
[06:16] ---
    That's true.
[06:17] ---
    That's good.
[06:20] ---
    That's good? Huh?
[06:23] ---
    Next year, the Kenjo High
    School baseball team
[06:26] ---
    celebrates 60 years, including
    the years they used to be Sumi Tech.
[06:30] ---
    Since a few years ago,
    the school's gone all out
[06:33] ---
    to have the team return
    to its prestigious status.
[06:37] ---
    Shinpei Komiyama, the manager, used to coach
[06:40] ---
    a prestigious ball club
    in Shikoku until three years ago.
[06:43] ---
    He faced problems for his devilish style
    of coaching and the guidance he gave.
[06:48] ---
    He had an argument and quit the school,
    which was when Kenjo gave him an offer.
[06:53] ---
    For the first two years,
    he was the assistant manager.
[06:55] ---
    He personally visited junior high schools across
    Tokyo and made a list of promising players.
[07:01] ---
    He spent the next year persuading
    five of his top choices to enter Kenjo,
[07:05] ---
    and he was officially promoted
    to Manager this spring.
[07:14] ---
    Oh. Sorry.
[07:15] ---
    Mind if I punch him?
[07:16] ---
    Don't!
[07:18] ---
    And this.
[07:19] ---
    "Confidential"
[07:20] ---
    It's a report on the
    Kenjo lineup that I observed.
[07:23] ---
    My father asked me to show this to you.
[07:29] ---
    I'll pass on that. I'm too sleepy.
[07:33] ---
    The other Tachibana is
    in charge of such things.
[07:37] ---
    Talk to... him...
[07:41] ---
    Mind if I punch him?
[07:48] ---
    Is our ace pitcher all right, the way he is?
[07:52] ---
    He does nothing but
    sleep during his lunch break.
[07:54] ---
    The fact he's sleepy before a game just proves
    that his body's making the proper adjustments.
[07:58] ---
    But still! Kenjo High School's
    lineup is really powerful!
[08:03] ---
    Hmm...
[08:05] ---
    Hm?
[08:06] ---
    Is something missing?
[08:08] ---
    There's nothing here on Haruka Ooyama,
    the data I wanted the most.
[08:14] ---
    Fine! So my observations
    are of no use to you!
[08:23] ---
    Is our battery all right, the way they are?
[08:26] ---
    No need to worry.
[08:28] ---
    I guarantee the weirdness of those brothers.
[08:31] ---
    Weirdness?
[08:33] ---
    Your entire report, Haruka,
    is now in his head.
[08:41] ---
    You're kidding, right?
[08:42] ---
    I'm not kidding.
[09:04] ---
    It seems it wasn't the entire report.
[09:07] ---
    Yeah...
[09:23] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[09:24] ---
    The National High School Baseball
    Championship, East Tokyo Tournament...
[09:30] ---
    ...has begun!
[09:31] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[09:37] ---
    "Game 1 | 10:00 | Estimated Start Time
    Third Base Dugout     |    First Base Dugout
    Meisei High School    |    Kenjo"
[09:49] ---
    The game is about to begin.
[09:55] ---
    Darn.
[09:56] ---
    This is no time to be doing that.
[10:00] ---
    It'll be all right. They won't lose.
[10:03] ---
    Not your brothers.
[10:05] ---
    Come on. Your brother is
    the one receiving all the attention.
[10:09] ---
    Are you sure you want to cheer for Meisei?
[10:13] ---
    Of course.
[10:15] ---
    I'm rooting for Meisei, 100 percent.
[10:19] ---
    I'm guessing you don't
    get along with your brother.
[10:27] ---
    You guessed right.
[10:41] ---
    Even though you're brothers?
[10:49] ---
    Because we're brothers.
[10:55] ---
    You can't get your mind off of it.
[10:57] ---
    Of course not. If they lose once,
    there is no next game.
[11:01] ---
    "Self-study"
[11:02] ---
    Aww, I should've faked being sick
    or something and gone to the game.
[11:10] ---
    By the way, where's Natsuno?
[11:12] ---
    He's not coming today.
    He said he caught a cold and...
[11:16] ---
    Hm? Hm?
[11:20] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[11:26] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[11:53] ---
    The first step for the
    new Meisei baseball team!
[11:58] ---
    Go!
[11:59] ---
    Touma Tachibana!
[12:22] ---
    Ball!
[12:23] ---
    Ugh...
[12:28] ---
    Ball!
[12:30] ---
    "No. 1, Center Fielder: Teramoto"
    "Grade Ten"
[12:35] ---
    Strike!
[12:37] ---
    Is he a breaking ball pitcher?
[12:39] ---
    Or maybe they found out
    that Teramoto prefers the fastball.
[12:44] ---
    Strike!
[12:49] ---
    It's true that he's not
    too good with breaking balls.
[12:53] ---
    But if he just needs to hit it,
[12:56] ---
    he can do that any time.
[12:59] ---
    And if the ball rolls...
[13:02] ---
    Safe!
[13:03] ---
    ...things will work out.
[13:07] ---
    You're in a pinch, Tachibana.
[13:10] ---
    Teramoto's infield single...
[13:14] ---
    ...is as good as getting an extra base hit.
[13:20] ---
    Out!
[13:27] ---
    That was quick.
[13:30] ---
    Oh. That catcher has a good arm.
[13:34] ---
    Not that.
[13:36] ---
    The ball the pitcher just threw.
[13:40] ---
    Oh?
[13:41] ---
    One out!
[13:50] ---
    "No. 2, Second Baseman: Yamaji"
    "Grade Ten"
[14:03] ---
    Out!
[14:05] ---
    Don't get deceived by
    a breaking ball of that level.
[14:11] ---
    "No. 3, Right Fielder: Todoroki"
    "Grade Twelve"
[14:12] ---
    He's only in tenth grade, after all.
[14:16] ---
    What's with that pitcher?
[14:32] ---
    Strike!
[14:34] ---
    Three outs! Change sides!
[14:36] ---
    Yes!
[14:40] ---
    It's him.
[14:42] ---
    We were just passing by.
[14:45] ---
    "Kenjo"
[14:56] ---
    Strike!
[14:58] ---
    Irregular pitches from the left, huh?
[15:02] ---
    "Starting Pitcher: Kita"
    "Grade Ten"
[15:17] ---
    Out!
[15:18] ---
    What a pain it must be.
[15:20] ---
    To face Kita's irregular pitching
    form and off-speed pitches.
[15:23] ---
    Facing him only two or three times won't...
[15:26] ---
    ...be enough to...
[15:30] ---
    "No. 3, Catcher: Tachibana (Sou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[15:38] ---
    Me too!
[15:43] ---
    ...time your swing against
    his pitches. Right?
[15:46] ---
    Three outs! Change sides!
[15:52] ---
    His pitches can be hit.
[15:54] ---
    By you, anyway.
[15:58] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[16:01] ---
    That's Akai.
[16:03] ---
    Wow!
[16:04] ---
    --It's Akai!
    --It's Akai!
[16:11] ---
    Top of the second inning.
    Batting fourth for Kenjo High School
[16:15] ---
    is first baseman Akai.
[16:19] ---
    Akai?
[16:30] ---
    Then hurry and pass by, would you?
[16:33] ---
    For humans,
[16:35] ---
    first impressions
[16:37] ---
    are important!
[16:41] ---
    Strike!
[16:48] ---
    It's fast. But...
[16:52] ---
    ...the first pitch, a fastball right
    down the middle against Akai?
[16:58] ---
    He's either just fearless,
[17:02] ---
    or...
[17:08] ---
    ...is it...
[17:10] ---
    ...confidence?
[17:22] ---
    Clean up after yourself.
[17:25] ---
    You've got to be...
[17:29] ---
    ...nicer to girls!
[17:43] ---
    Fair ball!
[17:48] ---
    Did my pitching form tip him
    that I was pitching him a change-up?
[17:51] ---
    No, you succeeded in throwing off his timing.
[17:54] ---
    And yet he gets a double.
[17:57] ---
    That's why he only got a double.
[18:01] ---
    During today's game, you're prohibited
    from putting anyone on base before he bats.
[18:11] ---
    Big brother Akai, huh?
[18:16] ---
    Did you catch a cold, Natsuno?
[18:19] ---
    N-Nikaidou?!
[18:21] ---
    Because there's a cold going around now.
[18:25] ---
    You're right.
[18:28] ---
    Don't just stand here.
    Let's get a seat and watch.
[18:33] ---
    We're sick with a cold.
[18:34] ---
    You're right.
[18:49] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[18:52] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[18:54] ---
    In this inning, both teams
    will start with their second batter.
[19:00] ---
    To this point,
    it's been an equal pitcher's duel.
[19:04] ---
    Not equal.
[19:06] ---
    Huh?
[19:06] ---
    Not at all equal. Compare
    the lineup the pitcher is facing.
[19:12] ---
    Between Kita
[19:14] ---
    and that pitcher.
[19:18] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[19:21] ---
    Which junior high school did
    that first year pitcher go to?
[19:25] ---
    It appears he was with
    Meisei's Junior High School.
[19:29] ---
    That's funny.
[19:30] ---
    I went to check out Meisei's
    junior high team two years ago,
[19:33] ---
    but they had no pitcher worth mentioning.
[19:35] ---
    Actually, I remember hearing
    a rumor around that time.
[19:38] ---
    A rumor?
[19:39] ---
    That at Meisei, the baseball team's
[19:41] ---
    talented pitchers weren't allowed to pitch,
[19:44] ---
    because of a father who wanted
    his own son to pitch as the team's ace.
[19:48] ---
    An ace pitcher favored by his father...
[19:51] ---
    Oh, now that you mention it,
[19:53] ---
    there was a ninth grade pitcher
    who acted big but had little talent.
[20:00] ---
    Huh? Do you really have a cold?
[20:03] ---
    No. Something got caught in my throat.
[20:09] ---
    I got all of that one!
[20:14] ---
    Wh-What?
[20:19] ---
    I thought I told you that's prohibited.
[20:23] ---
    Is there a punishment for that?
[20:25] ---
    Yeah.
[20:29] ---
    You now must get a strikeout.
[20:33] ---
    Batting fourth, first baseman, Akai.
[20:41] ---
    I must get a strikeout, he says.
[20:45] ---
    I wouldn't
[20:47] ---
    call that a punishiment...
[20:50] ---
    ...at all!
[20:52] ---
    As for their left-handed Akai hitting fourth,
    do not throw him any easy pitches!
[20:59] ---
    Oops.
[21:04] ---
    Huh?
[21:09] ---
    Yes?
[21:23] ---
    Out!
[21:26] ---
    Double play.
[21:31] ---
    An ace who won't keep a promise,
[21:34] ---
    a Kenjo lineup as rumored,
[21:37] ---
    and a better-than-rumored number four batter.
[21:43] ---
    This should be a great game!
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:24] ---
    The East Tokyo Tournament has finally begun!
[23:27] ---
    Yeah.
[23:27] ---
    They're facing a strong team,
    right from the first game!
[23:30] ---
    A lefty with an irregular form
    and an iron wall infield!
[23:32] ---
    Not to mention that great lineup!
[23:33] ---
    Yeah.
[23:34] ---
    Will our first year battery be OK?
[23:36] ---
    Yeah!
[23:37] ---
    Are you positively, positively sure?!
[23:39] ---
    Shut up!! Be quiet and watch the game.
[23:41] ---
    "We're Losing"
[23:42] ---
    Next time, "We're Losing"!
[23:44] ---
    What? We're losing?
[23:46] ---
    "To be continued"

[00:01] ---
    "Previously on MIX..."
[00:01] ---
    Well then, previously on MIX...
[00:07] ---
    The East Tokyo Tournament has begun,
    to determine who goes to the summer Koshien.
[00:14] ---
    Meisei High School is trying
    to go for the first time in 30 years.
[00:20] ---
    Their first opponent is the team of talked-about
[00:24] ---
    tenth grade slugger
    Tomohito Akai's Kenjo High School.
[00:35] ---
    Huh?
[00:39] ---
    Yes?
[00:48] ---
    Out!
[00:50] ---
    Double play.
[00:51] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[00:52] ---
    In the middle of the fourth inning,
    it's a scoreless tie.
[00:59] ---
    Yum!
[01:01] ---
    Hm? Huh?
[01:08] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[01:12] ---
    The Meisei baseball team that became champions
[01:15] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:18] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:21] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:23] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:26] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:19] ---
    Otomi!
[03:21] ---
    Yes?
[03:31] ---
    Everyone gather!
[03:33] ---
    "We're Losing"
[03:38] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[03:43] ---
    "No. 2, Second Baseman - Murotani"
    "Grade Eleven"
[03:47] ---
    Out!
[03:48] ---
    What a pain it must be
[03:50] ---
    to face Kita's irregular form
    and off-speed pitches.
[03:53] ---
    Facing him only two or three times won't...
[04:02] ---
    "No. 3, Catcher - Tachibana (Sou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[04:05] ---
    Touma.
[04:06] ---
    Yes?
[04:07] ---
    Doesn't he know how to hesitate or worry?
[04:11] ---
    No. Because he's a
    fundamentally obnoxious guy.
[04:16] ---
    "No. 4, First Baseman - Imagawa"
    "Grade Eleven"
[04:17] ---
    Me too!
[04:20] ---
    Huh?
[04:25] ---
    Out!
[04:27] ---
    "No. 5, Center Fielder - Ogi"
    "Grade Twelve"
[04:31] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[04:33] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[04:34] ---
    Hmm... Another scoreless inning.
[04:37] ---
    So it'll be decided in the second half.
[04:40] ---
    The pitches' slight drops and turns...
[04:43] ---
    Only obnoxious guys can hit them
    before getting used to them.
[04:48] ---
    Koma. Nangou. Get ready to pinch hit.
[04:52] ---
    What's he hinting at?
[05:07] ---
    Hello?
[05:08] ---
    What inning is it?
[05:09] ---
    What?! Otomi?!
[05:11] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[05:15] ---
    I caught a cold today and
    have been home in bed all day.
[05:21] ---
    You're out!
[05:24] ---
    You live in an awfully noisy home.
[05:27] ---
    Oh, well, a popular cartoon
    artist just walked past the house,
[05:32] ---
    then a curious crowd followed...
[05:34] ---
    Shut up!
[05:35] ---
    "Women's Changing Room"
[05:36] ---
    I'm hiding from the teacher while calling you,
    so we're both in the same boat.
[05:41] ---
    What class are you in now?
[05:44] ---
    Swimming lessons.
[05:46] ---
    Oh, of course.
[05:48] ---
    What?!
[05:49] ---
    Then are you in your swimsuit?
[05:52] ---
    What if I am?!
[05:53] ---
    Would you take a photo and send it to me?
[05:57] ---
    You're pathetic!
[05:59] ---
    Never mind that!
    Quickly give me an update on the game.
[06:03] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[06:03] ---
    Ah, yes. Let's see...
[06:06] ---
    We're in the bottom of the fifth, Meisei is up.
[06:10] ---
    In the batter's box is
    Touma, batting sixth.
[06:10] ---
    "No. 6, Pitcher - Tachibana (Tou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[06:13] ---
    Good!
[06:15] ---
    But against the opposing starting lefty
    who throws irregular pitches,
[06:19] ---
    Meisei has only been able to get two hits.
[06:22] ---
    It'll be fine.
[06:24] ---
    In Touma's first at-bat,
[06:26] ---
    he couldn't figure out the timing
    and struck out swinging.
[06:30] ---
    I know he'll get a hit.
[06:31] ---
    Well, but like I said, the pitches
    have this slight movement--
[06:35] ---
    Hit it! Tou!
[06:39] ---
    Would you listen when I'm talking?!
[07:02] ---
    Yes! A home run!
[07:09] ---
    Ah...
[07:11] ---
    Batting in the bottom of the fifth,
    Meisei leads one to nothing.
[07:16] ---
    Yes! After every inning, send me an update!
[07:20] ---
    Roger!
[07:21] ---
    In return, about that swimsuit photo...
[07:26] ---
    Too bad for you.
[07:28] ---
    Otomi's in class now, isn't she?
[07:32] ---
    Yeah.
[07:34] ---
    I thought I heard her voice.
[07:37] ---
    I must be imagining it.
[07:39] ---
    Only obnoxious guys can hit them, huh?
[07:44] ---
    Then, with one out,
[07:46] ---
    Meisei's pinch hitters Koma and
    Nangou get on base with consecutive hits.
[07:53] ---
    However...
[07:59] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[08:00] ---
    The threat ends there with just the one run.
[08:03] ---
    Only obnoxious guys can hit them, huh?
[08:09] ---
    Just the one run.
[08:10] ---
    Oh, the update.
[08:15] ---
    Hm?
SIGN    "Otomi Tachibana" "Chance to score, Hirao hitting" "Grounder to second" "Double play"
[08:17] ---
    She hasn't read it yet.
[08:20] ---
    She may be getting changed.
[08:21] ---
    Getting changed?
[08:35] ---
    It's kind of late now...
[08:37] ---
    But I should've properly checked
    this Meisei High School team out.
[08:42] ---
    They only scored one run.
[08:44] ---
    I know that.
[08:46] ---
    And I also know whether or not
    our team is one that will easily be shut out.
[09:59] ---
    Akai! Akai!
[10:03] ---
    "Mitsuru Adachi"
[10:07] ---
    Y-Yes.
[10:08] ---
    "Mitsuru Adachi"
[10:09] ---
    Mitsuru Adachi...
[10:11] ---
    What did this person do?
[10:13] ---
    Other than the fact he draws manga comics?
[10:16] ---
    That's right.
[10:17] ---
    Let's see...
[10:19] ---
    I explained it in detail just now.
[10:22] ---
    Teacher!
[10:24] ---
    Mitsuru Adachi is a
    big fan of the Yakult Swallows--
[10:27] ---
    Mita. I wasn't asking you.
[10:32] ---
    "Mitsuru Adachi"
[10:32] ---
    Akai!
[10:33] ---
    I'm sorry, sir. I wasn't listening.
[10:36] ---
    Stand at the back of the classroom!
[10:38] ---
    Yes, sir.
[10:45] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[10:53] ---
    Hello?
[10:53] ---
    "Women's Toilet"
[10:54] ---
    I forgot to ask earlier.
    How has Akai's brother done to this point?
[11:00] ---
    Akai's brother?
[11:02] ---
    What?! Is Kenjo's cleanup
    hitter Akai's brother?!
[11:06] ---
    Is that so? Wow. That's something.
[11:11] ---
    How has he done?!
[11:13] ---
    Oh, right.
[11:14] ---
    Let's see...
[11:16] ---
    I recall he had a double his first at-bat.
[11:19] ---
    Then he hit into a double play
    that we totally lucked out on.
[11:23] ---
    And...
[11:48] ---
    His third at-bat...
[11:51] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[11:52] ---
    He's hit a come-from-behind
    two-run home run.
[12:06] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[12:10] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[12:17] ---
    Was that a ball that
    could be hit for a home run?
[12:20] ---
    Apparently.
[12:22] ---
    For him, that is.
[12:25] ---
    Well, what a waste.
[12:28] ---
    If he wasn't facing us,
[12:30] ---
    he could've had a more colorful debut
    as a tenth grade cleanup hitter.
[12:36] ---
    A home run and a double.
[12:39] ---
    Add to that the lucky out at first base
    that could've easily been an extra base hit.
[12:43] ---
    I'd say that's plenty colorful.
[12:46] ---
    Even if he strikes out his last at-bat?
[12:50] ---
    In any case,
[12:51] ---
    that batter before him reaching base
    safely after the strikeout... That hurts.
[12:55] ---
    Yeah. Because of your passed ball.
[12:58] ---
    What?!
[12:59] ---
    Get real! Anyone can see
    that it was a wild pitch!
[13:03] ---
    --First of all, you haven't done
    any of the things you said...
[13:06] ---
    --Come on, stop fighting.
    --First of all, you haven't done
    any of the things you said...
[13:09] ---
    Only one run separates us.
    The real battle begins here.
[13:13] ---
    That's so encouraging.
[13:15] ---
    Coming from our cleanup hitter
    who can't bring our
[13:17] ---
    third batter home,
    who has been on base three times.
[13:22] ---
    Like I said! The real battle begins here!
[13:26] ---
    Stop it, Imagawa! Not during the game!
[13:28] ---
    Because he...!
[13:30] ---
    Imagawa!
[13:31] ---
    Hey! You guys!
[13:35] ---
    Is this team going to be all right?
[13:37] ---
    There's no need to worry.
[13:40] ---
    Since I'm not on the team.
[13:44] ---
    That was impressive.
[13:46] ---
    I lucked out.
[13:48] ---
    It's not like you to talk like that.
[13:54] ---
    Well, however you put it,
    it's a home run by our cleanup.
[13:57] ---
    Coming from behind
    to take the lead late,
[13:59] ---
    past the seventh inning,
    is the perfect scenario.
[14:02] ---
    We're only leading by one.
[14:06] ---
    I can't...
[14:10] ---
    I can't afford to lose yet.
[14:13] ---
    Especially to Meisei.
[14:20] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[14:23] ---
    Baseball is played to win.
[14:27] ---
    Whoever the opponent might be.
[14:32] ---
    Bottom of the seventh inning. Up to bat
[14:36] ---
    for Meisei High School,
    batting sixth, pitcher, Touma Tachibana.
[14:40] ---
    Go! Hit a second straight home run!
[14:43] ---
    Stop that.
[14:45] ---
    OK! Leave it to me!
[14:48] ---
    Stop that.
[15:34] ---
    Tachibana?! Are you all right?!
[15:36] ---
    How dare that guy!
[15:38] ---
    Koma!
[15:40] ---
    Hold Nangou back!
[15:42] ---
    Huh?
[16:08] ---
    Hey.
[16:10] ---
    So does that mean I should
    target you during your next at-bat?
[16:17] ---
    Yeah. Target me.
[16:21] ---
    If that's the kind of
    baseball you prefer to play.
[16:30] ---
    Hello?
[16:31] ---
    Hit it!!
[16:33] ---
    Tou!
[16:35] ---
    Ah, well, um...
[16:38] ---
    Huh? Isn't Tou up to bat now?
[16:42] ---
    Well, that's not it.
[16:45] ---
    Did he lose control?
[16:48] ---
    Or did he make it look like he lost control?
[16:50] ---
    I don't know.
[16:52] ---
    Either way there's no way to confirm it.
[17:12] ---
    Out!
[17:15] ---
    Even obnoxious guys can't do it.
[17:18] ---
    OK! We'll keep them from scoring!
[17:21] ---
    The seventh inning has ended.
    Kenjo leads two to one.
[17:29] ---
    Should've been the right hand or leg.
[17:32] ---
    If you think about what'll affect his pitching.
[17:38] ---
    I'm kidding.
[17:40] ---
    Your expression is easy
    to misinterpret, so be careful.
[17:45] ---
    And I mean it.
[17:47] ---
    Right.
[17:51] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[17:52] ---
    Top of the eighth inning. Up to bat
[17:56] ---
    for Kenjo High School,
    batting seventh, pitcher, Kita.
[18:01] ---
    Watch out, Kita!
[18:03] ---
    You'd be wise to stand
    far away from the plate!
[18:23] ---
    Strike!
[18:28] ---
    Strike!
[18:33] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[18:36] ---
    Nice pitch.
[18:49] ---
    You're out!
[18:54] ---
    Five straight strikeouts!
[18:57] ---
    Yes!
[19:00] ---
    His is real.
[19:03] ---
    His number 1 uniform.
[19:13] ---
    "Easy to Understand Baseball"
[19:17] ---
    I'm home!
[19:27] ---
    Boy, it's hot.
[19:43] ---
    Is that so?
[19:46] ---
    You were a legendary pitcher, were you?
[19:55] ---
    Hello? Tachibana residence.
[19:58] ---
    Oh, hi dear.
[20:00] ---
    Huh? The result? For what?
[20:04] ---
    Game result? Oh, right.
[20:08] ---
    No. I haven't heard from them yet.
[20:11] ---
    They said they'd call after the game,
    so I imagine they're still playing.
[20:17] ---
    They're late?! Well there's
    nothing I can do about that.
[20:21] ---
    Yes, dear. I understand. I'll see you later.
[20:26] ---
    Bye.
[20:33] ---
    You didn't tell me anything,
[20:36] ---
    but your dream lives on with Souichirou.
[20:42] ---
    And he's met the best partner.
[20:52] ---
    Of course.
[20:55] ---
    I've been puzzled about it the whole time.
[20:57] ---
    Why I never hesitated that time
    at the thought of remarrying.
[21:05] ---
    Now it's making sense.
[21:08] ---
    Oh, right. I just bought
    something at the bookstore.
[21:13] ---
    "Easy to Understand Baseball
    Basic Rules"
[21:13] ---
    I'm going to study so that
    I can properly cheer them on.
[21:17] ---
    So please cheer for them, too,
    along with dear Touma's mother.
[21:23] ---
    "Punch"
[21:26] ---
    Be quiet, Punch.
[21:28] ---
    Stop barking, just because you
    haven't appeared as often lately.
[21:39] ---
    I wonder if we're winning.
[21:44] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[21:46] ---
    No, we're losing.
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Hmm...
[23:26] ---
    What are you so concerned about, Father?
[23:28] ---
    I'm thinking about the batting order.
[23:30] ---
    First up, beer. Second, hiyayakko.
    Third, sashimi.
[23:34] ---
    Fourth, fried chicken.
    Fifth, skewered chicken.
[23:36] ---
    For now, I'll put whiskey and soda sixth.
[23:38] ---
    Seventh, kimchi and eighth,
    smashed cucumber pickles.
[23:41] ---
    What batting order is that?!
[23:41] ---
    "I Wanted to See That Expression"
[23:43] ---
    Next time, "I Wanted to See That Expression."
[23:45] ---
    I'll finish it off with ramen noodles.
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"

[00:06] ---
    "Punch"
[00:08] ---
    I wonder how those two are doing.
[00:22] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:25] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:28] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:31] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:34] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:37] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:39] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:23] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[02:31] ---
    He looks a lot like him.
[02:39] ---
    "I Wanted to See That Expression"
[02:48] ---
    Top of the eighth, from the top of the order.
[02:52] ---
    Oh! Please watch this first.
[02:55] ---
    "Previously on MIX..."
[02:56] ---
    Well then, previously on MIX...
[03:02] ---
    The East Tokyo Tournament with a
    spot in the summer Koshien on the line.
[03:06] ---
    Meisei High School is trying
    to go for the first time in 30 years.
[03:12] ---
    Their first opponent is Kenjo High School,
[03:16] ---
    the team of the much
    talked-about slugger Tomohito Akai.
[03:19] ---
    By the way, this school used to be Sumi Tech.
[03:30] ---
    Yes!
[03:32] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[03:32] ---
    Bottom of the eighth, trailing by one run,
[03:35] ---
    Meisei bats from the top of the order.
[03:42] ---
    Shouldn't we be excited
    about the top of the order?
[03:46] ---
    Our first and second batters
    have yet to find their timing.
[03:53] ---
    "No. 1, Shortstop: Hirao"
    "Grade Twelve"
[04:00] ---
    Out!
[04:05] ---
    "No. 2, Second Baseman: Mirotani"
    "Grade Eleven"
[04:06] ---
    Okay!
[04:13] ---
    You're out!
[04:22] ---
    Now that there are two outs...
[04:25] ---
    Souichirou, who is our biggest hope...
[04:25] ---
    "No. 3, Catcher: Tachibana (Sou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[04:31] ---
    ...will surely...
[04:36] ---
    Ball! Ball four!
[04:39] ---
    ...get nothing decent to swing at.
[04:43] ---
    So!
[04:46] ---
    That cleanup hitter!
[04:46] ---
    "No. 4, First Baseman: Imagawa"
    "Grade Eleven"
[04:51] ---
    Can't you trust that guy?
[04:55] ---
    Ah, well...
[04:56] ---
    As a person, I'm sure that
    he's without a doubt a good man.
[05:01] ---
    And he can be relied upon.
[05:03] ---
    Yeah. He's saved my ass numerous times.
[05:08] ---
    In a game?
[05:11] ---
    I won't allow anyone bad-mouthing him.
[05:14] ---
    Ah, like I said, I'm praising him.
    As a person, that is.
[05:23] ---
    Strike!
[05:29] ---
    Did I make a mistake with the lineup?
[05:31] ---
    Tadashi was batting fourth
    in his second year of junior high, too.
[05:36] ---
    Hm?
[05:37] ---
    That person looks good batting cleanup.
[05:44] ---
    Of course, I wouldn't say all the time.
[05:51] ---
    Ball!
[05:57] ---
    He's really got the cleanup hitter
    vibe during this at bat.
[06:02] ---
    Are you sure?
[06:18] ---
    Strike!
[06:23] ---
    That was a swing and a
    miss worthy of a cleanup hitter.
[06:26] ---
    Do you really think so?
[06:43] ---
    Ball!
[06:53] ---
    Ball!
[07:15] ---
    Ball!
[07:16] ---
    Ball four!
[07:20] ---
    That pitcher has great instincts.
[07:22] ---
    Yeah.
[07:24] ---
    Two outs, runners on first and second.
[07:28] ---
    Number five, center fielder, Ogi.
[07:31] ---
    Again, did I make a mistake with the lineup?
[07:36] ---
    Yes?
[07:36] ---
    "No. 5, Center Fielder: Ogi"
    "Grade Twelve"
[07:42] ---
    Consecutive walks after getting two outs.
[07:46] ---
    Is he beginning to tire?
[07:48] ---
    Being cautious doesn't always
    guarantee you safety, does it?
[07:52] ---
    Yes?
[07:53] ---
    Always cool and calm.
[07:55] ---
    Kita is a pitcher who knows how to win.
[08:01] ---
    Get on base. Get the next
    batter up no matter what it takes!
[08:08] ---
    Focus.
[08:11] ---
    Really. Did I make a mistake?
[08:16] ---
    Yes?
[08:18] ---
    Strike!
[08:21] ---
    Hey.
[08:24] ---
    Kenjo may still be incomplete as a team,
[08:28] ---
    but it does have what it takes
    to win this tournament.
[08:32] ---
    The offense is a given,
    but we've also got good pitching,
[08:35] ---
    and the iron wall defense of the
    infield consisting of tenth graders.
[08:41] ---
    Even our outfield.
[08:45] ---
    With the exception of...
[08:49] ---
    ...right fielder Todoroki, who
    cannot cover too much ground...
[08:56] ---
    Don't dive for it! At your speed,
    you won't catch up to it!
[09:15] ---
    Huh?
[09:31] ---
    OK! We've taken the lead!
[09:33] ---
    I guess I wasn't mistaken.
[09:47] ---
    As a pitcher, that's the last
    batter you want to see right now.
[09:52] ---
    If it were me pitching,
    I would not challenge Touma.
[09:57] ---
    Right.
[10:03] ---
    Strike!
[10:05] ---
    We cannot let Meisei ride
    this momentum any further.
[10:27] ---
    "No. 6, Pitcher: Tachibana (Tou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[10:42] ---
    Out!
[10:47] ---
    Our infield defense is an iron wall.
[10:50] ---
    Darn.
[10:54] ---
    What's wrong, Kita?
[10:56] ---
    Are you feeling down
    about giving up the lead?
[10:59] ---
    No.
[11:02] ---
    His talents aren't limited to pitching.
[11:08] ---
    Darn! It was only a few inches out of reach!
[11:11] ---
    Who would've figured
    the ball wasn't going to carry?
[11:15] ---
    Talk about bad luck. Darn it.
[11:21] ---
    We're doomed if he's
    relying on luck when he fields.
[11:24] ---
    In any case, what do you
    think about this matchup?
[11:29] ---
    There had to be many other teams
    suitable to be our first opponent.
[11:33] ---
    Yeah.
[11:35] ---
    They're thinking the same thing.
[11:49] ---
    Taking the mound immediately
    after running at full speed.
[11:52] ---
    A one-run lead in the
    top of the ninth inning.
[11:56] ---
    And the top of the order
    is up for the opponent.
[12:00] ---
    So what?
[12:02] ---
    Doesn't this worry you?
[12:06] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[12:08] ---
    Huh?
[12:08] ---
    That I was trying desperately to crush him.
[12:29] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[12:54] ---
    A-Awesome!
[12:57] ---
    I know better than anyone...
[13:01] ---
    ...how terrifying he is.
[13:04] ---
    Against our lineup...
[13:07] ---
    ...that's seven straight strikeouts.
[13:18] ---
    Aren't you taking him lightly? Touma?
[13:22] ---
    I don't know how great
    a pitcher my father was,
[13:27] ---
    but I don't believe Touma will lose.
[13:42] ---
    Number three, right fielder, Todoroki.
[13:49] ---
    Are we going to lose?
[13:51] ---
    To them? In the first round?
[14:04] ---
    Foul!
[14:12] ---
    Two years ago, when I arrived
    to become the assistant manager,
[14:16] ---
    he, in only his first year, was the
    single bright spot on a weak team.
[14:25] ---
    He quickly made the starting lineup,
    then the cleanup position.
[14:33] ---
    Ball!
[14:35] ---
    But those days that we continued
    to lose ended up rotting him.
[14:47] ---
    In grade eleven, he completely
    lost the motivation to play.
[14:51] ---
    He started cutting corners in practice.
[14:55] ---
    But he does have a great swing, doesn't he?
[14:59] ---
    Yeah.
[15:00] ---
    Ever since you tenth graders joined the team,
[15:03] ---
    he has started to get back
    the shine he had two years ago.
[15:14] ---
    Foul!
[15:18] ---
    Foul!
[15:23] ---
    Foul!
[15:31] ---
    Of our team members,
    he's the most thirsty for a victory.
[15:36] ---
    That guy.
[15:46] ---
    Out!
[16:14] ---
    If you guys had arrived a year earlier,
[16:18] ---
    I would've hit that.
[16:22] ---
    I believe you.
[16:28] ---
    I thought you promised to end the game
    by striking out their cleanup hitter.
[16:34] ---
    That number three hitter
    wouldn't let me lose focus.
[16:39] ---
    The older brother Akai.
[16:41] ---
    To me, he doesn't seem like
    the bad guy you say he is.
[16:46] ---
    Yeah. In which case, he could be a nuisance.
[16:52] ---
    Our team lost. In the first round.
[16:57] ---
    That was my blunder.
[16:59] ---
    Did you take them lightly?
[17:02] ---
    That's not it.
[17:03] ---
    I can't figure out why a great battery
    like that flew under my radar
[17:06] ---
    during their junior high school days.
[17:08] ---
    It just doesn't make sense to me.
[17:12] ---
    You have me to thank for that.
[17:15] ---
    Did you say something?
[17:18] ---
    I didn't say anything.
[17:21] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[17:21] ---
    Meisei High School.
[17:23] ---
    Through to the second round
    of the East Tokyo Tournament.
[17:33] ---
    "Akai"
[17:40] ---
    Isn't dinner ready yet?
[17:44] ---
    I just got a call from Mom.
[17:45] ---
    She says she's running late
    and wants us to wait a little.
[17:52] ---
    You're not going to ask
    about the game results?
[17:57] ---
    I'm not interested.
[17:59] ---
    Oh. As for us.
[18:02] ---
    Meisei, that is. I hear we won. Three to two.
[18:06] ---
    Though I don't know who they were playing.
[18:13] ---
    What did you do that for?
[18:18] ---
    I bought this t-shirt.
[18:21] ---
    I didn't know.
    Mom must've made a mistake.
[18:25] ---
    It was in my chest of drawers.
[18:27] ---
    I'll wash it and return it!
[18:33] ---
    I don't want it after you've worn it.
[18:37] ---
    You can have it. Consider it
    tomorrow's birthday present.
[19:07] ---
    So? Then what?
[19:16] ---
    Let's see... How far did we get?
[19:20] ---
    Top of the fifth inning, Kenjo batting.
[19:23] ---
    Oh.
[19:24] ---
    I guess it was from about then
    that I had a better grip on the ball.
[19:29] ---
    You were pitching well
    from the beginning today.
[19:33] ---
    Otherwise, you wouldn't have escaped that
    lineup with only the two runs on a home run.
[19:38] ---
    No doubt the mercy rule would've been
    in effect against an average pitcher.
[19:42] ---
    Oh? That former Sumi Tech?
[19:46] ---
    To put it differently,
    if we had been facing an average team,
[19:50] ---
    they would've found it almost impossible
    to get a single hit off of Touma today.
[19:55] ---
    Oh! I see! Why, that's great!
[19:58] ---
    You're something, Tou!
[20:00] ---
    I've got to pee.
[20:05] ---
    Mom, can I have another glass of oolong tea?
[20:07] ---
    Sure you can.
[20:14] ---
    Yes?
[20:15] ---
    You can return to our room
    and go to bed if you wish.
[20:18] ---
    I'll keep her entertained.
[20:21] ---
    I'm fine, I'm fine.
[20:23] ---
    Tou!
[20:25] ---
    It could be endless with her.
[20:27] ---
    That's all right.
[20:31] ---
    I tried my best because I wanted
    to see that expression, after all.
[20:42] ---
    "Nishimura"
[20:43] ---
    I hear Meisei won by a score of three to two.
[20:48] ---
    But they played against
    the former Sumi Tech, right?
[20:51] ---
    You fool!
[20:52] ---
    Some media sources even had Kenjo as
    one of the favorites to win the tournament.
[20:58] ---
    Apparently their new team from this
    spring had over a 90 percent winning record.
[21:03] ---
    Former Sumi Tech is strong.
[21:06] ---
    Hmm...
[21:07] ---
    And Meisei, who won against them,
    is also a reborn team.
[21:12] ---
    You look really happy.
[21:16] ---
    It just doesn't get exciting,
    unless we're all there.
[21:20] ---
    "To Become National Champions"
    "Seinan Baseball Team"
    "Isami Nishimura"
[21:21] ---
    Meisei, Sumi Tech, and Seinan.
[21:25] ---
    What's the big deal?
[21:27] ---
    You don't need to understand.
[21:29] ---
    You make sure you manage your health
[21:31] ---
    in preparation for your next
    start five days from now.
[21:34] ---
    Roger that.
[21:37] ---
    Until then, don't you get
    caught secretly taking photos.
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    There's just one thing
    our Meisei Baseball Team lacks.
[23:29] ---
    There must be more than one.
    We lack both offense and defense.
[23:32] ---
    No, you're wrong.
[23:33] ---
    --We lack endurance and concentration.
    --No.
[23:35] ---
    --Perseverance of our manager?
    --No.
[23:37] ---
    Then what is it? Intelligence?
    Magical power? Centrifugal force?
[23:40] ---
    No! We have no girls!
[23:42] ---

[23:42] ---
    Next time! "Full of Spirit"!

[00:02] ---
    The East Tokyo Tournament with a spot
    in the summer Koshien on the line has begun.
[00:07] ---
    Meisei High School is trying
    to go for the first time in 30 years.
[00:13] ---
    Their first opponent is Kenjo High School,
[00:16] ---
    the team of the much
    talked-about slugger Tomohito Akai.
[00:21] ---
    Yes!
[00:39] ---
    Out!
[00:47] ---
    "Kenjo"
    "Meisei"
[00:48] ---
    In what turned out to be a seesaw game,
[00:50] ---
    Meisei High School barely earned the victory.
[00:52] ---
    "Punch"
[01:05] ---
    See you later!
[01:11] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[01:15] ---
    The Meisei baseball team that became champions
[01:18] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:21] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:24] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:26] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:29] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[01:50] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[01:56] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[02:02] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[02:08] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[02:14] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[02:20] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[02:29] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     *    *
[02:35] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     *    *
[02:41] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     *    *
[02:48] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too

    "Meisei Junior High School"
[03:27] ---
    What a tremendous yawn
    first thing in the morning.
[03:32] ---
    Good morning.
[03:36] ---
    I see you've recovered
    from your feigned illness.
[03:39] ---
    Ha ha, thanks to you.
[03:44] ---
    Good morning, Akai.
[03:47] ---
    Morning.
[03:48] ---
    How is your brother doing?
[03:51] ---
    Huh?
[04:01] ---
    Er, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
[04:04] ---
    Well, your brother can't be blamed, after all.
[04:08] ---
    He was two for three against Tou,
    who was on top of his game.
[04:12] ---
    He hit a home run and had two runs batted in.
[04:14] ---
    As the team's cleanup hitter,
    he more than fulfilled...
[04:18] ---
    Excuse me!
[04:20] ---
    Ow!
[04:22] ---
    Oh, Akai!
[04:24] ---
    Happy birthday!
[04:27] ---
    Um, this isn't anything special.
    Just a slightly expensive mug!
[04:31] ---
    --Huh?
    --It's a bit expensive,
[04:32] ---
    but don't let that
    keep you from using it!
[04:35] ---
    Oh. Thank you very much.
[04:39] ---
    Ow!
[04:40] ---
    Excuse me!
[04:45] ---
    Today's your birthday?
[04:48] ---
    Huh?
[04:49] ---
    Yeah, though I had completely forgotten myself.
[04:53] ---
    Congratulations.
[04:54] ---
    But I didn't know, so I have no present for you.
[04:58] ---
    That's more than enough. What you just said.
[05:02] ---
    Ah, Otomi. Do you know when my birthday is?
[05:06] ---
    Oh! Hi, Yoshiko!
[05:12] ---
    When is it?
[05:13] ---
    Huh?
[05:14] ---
    Your birthday.
[05:16] ---
    That's private information! You fool!
[05:19] ---
    "Full of Spirit"
[05:24] ---
    Now, as for the Meisei
    High School baseball club...
[05:29] ---
    Their opponent in the second round is...
[05:31] ---
    "Sankou High School"
[05:39] ---
    "Meisei High School
    15 (Tue.) Koma 10:00
    Sankou High School"
[05:40] ---
    ...Sankou High School.
[05:42] ---
    Hm? That school name
    sounds somewhat familiar.
[06:00] ---
    Next! I'm hitting it to left field!
[06:02] ---
    Ready!
[06:08] ---
    --Sankou! Sankou! Sankou!
    --Second base, here I go!
[06:11] ---
    --Sankou! Sankou! Sankou!
    --Next, first base!
[06:38] ---
    Oops.
[06:56] ---
    Darn!
[06:57] ---
    This sheet is a nuisance!
[07:08] ---
    So lucky!
[07:14] ---
    Hey, Yokoyama.
[07:17] ---
    Hasn't anyone been here
    to repair the umpire's chair yet?
[07:20] ---
    No, not yet, it seems.
[07:24] ---
    Is it not a problem leaving it out there?
[07:26] ---
    It could be dangerous
    if someone decides to sit in it.
[07:29] ---
    It won't be a problem.
[07:32] ---
    Because all club members know
    there is a problem with that chair.
[07:37] ---
    All right, then.
[07:39] ---
    Yes.
[07:51] ---
    How's that? It dropped, didn't it?
[07:54] ---
    Yeah. It dropped.
[07:57] ---
    Miss Ooyama! Miss Ooyama!
[08:05] ---
    Haruka hasn't been back
    from her roadwork yet.
[08:09] ---
    Is that a fact?!
[08:11] ---
    What is it with her?
    She does this all the time!
[08:21] ---
    It dropped, didn't it?
[08:33] ---
    Yeah. It dropped.
[08:34] ---
    And so did she.
[08:38] ---
    The following day...
[08:39] ---
    "Next day"
[08:52] ---
    Yes?
[08:54] ---
    So there you have it.
[08:57] ---
    While she takes time off
    from rhythmic gymnastics,
[08:59] ---
    she will serve as the baseball
    team's caretaker. Haruka Ooyama.
[09:04] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[09:10] ---
    I know now. I felt that the
    team was missing something.
[09:15] ---
    What we were lacking was a female caretaker!
[09:18] ---
    There's no rule that says we must have one.
[09:21] ---
    Well, I was aware that
    she's always wanted to do this.
[09:27] ---
    Because when it comes to baseball,
[09:29] ---
    she's always had a habit of
    getting carried away without thinking.
[09:33] ---
    As her parent, it was
    bothersome to have her around,
[09:36] ---
    so I forced her to keep her distance.
[09:39] ---
    But this injury happened
    while checking up on
[09:42] ---
    Sankou High School as
    I had requested, so I had no choice.
[09:48] ---
    However!
[09:51] ---
    I have three conditions.
[09:55] ---
    Three?
[09:57] ---
    Number one.
[09:59] ---
    Not to interfere with the manager's
    arrangements or training methods.
[10:03] ---
    Sure.
[10:05] ---
    Number two.
[10:07] ---
    No love relationships within the team.
[10:09] ---
    --What?!
[10:12] ---
    --What do you mean, "What"?
    --What?!
[10:14] ---
    And what's the third one?
[10:19] ---
    Up to two large bottles of
    beer is allowed in the evenings!
[10:22] ---
    Declined.
[10:24] ---
    But wait! This is the most
    important of the conditions.
[10:28] ---
    Then two mid-sized bottles.
[10:30] ---
    Declined.
[10:32] ---
    It doesn't have to be every day.
[10:33] ---
    How about just four days a week,
    Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday!
[10:37] ---
    Let me think about it.
[10:39] ---
    --Now let's begin practice.
    --I insist on at least that much!
[10:44] ---
    I won't ask for any snacks with the beer!
[11:08] ---
    Am I just imagining it?
[11:11] ---
    Hm?
[11:12] ---
    Didn't we have pool lessons
    just the other day?
[11:15] ---
    Yeah, we did. Episode 14.
[11:17] ---
    Right? On top of that,
    why just the girls every time?
[11:26] ---
    Mr. Fumimura! What are you doing?!
[11:30] ---
    Oh. Well...
[11:32] ---
    Did you happen to see
    a car key around here?
[11:35] ---
    There was nothing here!
[11:37] ---
    In any case, men are
    not allowed during this hour!
[11:41] ---
    I ask that you leave now!
[11:43] ---
    Oh, well, excuse me.
[11:47] ---
    Mr. Fumimura!
[11:49] ---
    Yeah, I hear you. Sorry, sorry.
[11:58] ---
    I wonder when they'll
    finally leave this country.
[12:00] ---
    Shameless perverted men like that one.
[12:07] ---
    Everybody gather!
[12:10] ---
    Now, as tradition has it,
[12:12] ---
    we will have a 50-meter freestyle race
[12:14] ---
    between those who
    posted the five fastest times.
[12:18] ---
    Tradition?
[12:19] ---
    Those whose names I call,
    please step forward.
[12:24] ---
    Miss Itou!
[12:25] ---
    Yes.
[12:26] ---
    Miss Nakao!
[12:27] ---
    Yes.
[12:28] ---
    Miss Sono!
[12:29] ---
    Yes.
[12:31] ---
    Miss Mita!
[12:32] ---
    Yes.
[12:33] ---
    Miss Tachibana!
[12:36] ---
    Yes.
[12:48] ---
    Good luck.
[13:02] ---
    Don't lose to them, Arisa!
[13:04] ---
    Do your best, Otomi!
[13:07] ---
    I hope you're not misunderstanding.
[13:11] ---
    Huh?
[13:12] ---
    The last race, I only lost because
    I sprained my neck in my sleep.
[13:18] ---
    The last race?
[13:21] ---
    When I'm in my best condition,
    there's no way you could beat me!
[13:25] ---
    I'll make that clear to you.
[13:31] ---
    Oh! Miss Meisei and the runner up!
[13:33] ---
    The fateful battle is about to begin!
[13:36] ---
    Let's go, let's go!
[13:42] ---
    You fools.
[13:43] ---
    It'll hardly be a contest, against Otomi.
[13:52] ---
    Ready!
[14:13] ---
    Miss Meisei runner up is fast!
[14:23] ---
    Huh? Otomi?
[14:25] ---
    Otomi is not rising to the surface.
[14:29] ---
    She'll rise shortly,
    after having taken a big lead!
[14:41] ---
    She's giving them a handicap
    to add excitement to the race.
[14:44] ---
    A piece of cake, right, Otomi?
[15:18] ---
    Look! She's passed two girls in no time!
[15:26] ---
    Good! And the one remaining is...
[15:33] ---
    Otomi! Catch her!
[15:36] ---
    Arisa! Looking good!
[15:39] ---
    A fateful battle it is!
[15:42] ---
    Miss Meisei and runner up, keep going!
[15:57] ---
    Yay!
[16:13] ---
    Huh?
[16:25] ---
    You're not going to tell me
    you sprained your neck, are you?
[16:29] ---
    Don't worry. I'm in great condition.
[16:40] ---
    You were awesome, Arisa!
[16:42] ---
    You were the clear winner!
[16:44] ---
    You were really fast!
[16:50] ---
    What were you doing, Otomi?
[16:52] ---
    That's the one person you can't lose to
    on purpose. You won't hear the end of it.
[17:02] ---
    No, no.
[17:04] ---
    She was a lot faster this
    time compared to the last time.
[17:09] ---
    Maybe she really did sprain
    her neck in her sleep the last time.
[17:13] ---
    She did not! It's obvious
    that she was making excuses.
[17:17] ---
    In that case,
[17:19] ---
    she must've really practiced hard.
[17:28] ---
    What a pest.
[17:30] ---
    He's still out there
    wandering about, that pervert.
[17:34] ---
    Mr. Fumimura!
[17:40] ---
    Mr. Fumimura!
[17:52] ---
    I found it on the bottom of the pool!
[17:56] ---
    Oh! Thank you! Thank you!
[18:00] ---
    Were you by chance looking
    for that after you dove in?
[18:31] ---
    Oh, I want to get into that pool, too!
[18:34] ---
    Why are the boys always doing this?
[18:42] ---
    Natsuno.
[18:44] ---
    What is it?
[18:45] ---
    I'm in love with Otomi Tachibana.
[19:04] ---
    H-How dare you!
[19:05] ---
    I wasn't ready for that!
    That's not fair going all out like you did!
[19:11] ---
    I've got no idea how I should react to that!
[19:25] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[19:36] ---
    Center field!
[19:39] ---
    He's got an unexpectedly great pair of legs!
[19:42] ---
    Center fielder, grade twelve!
[19:46] ---
    "Yutaka Ogi"
[19:46] ---
    Yutaka Ogi!
[19:49] ---
    Next! To the infield!
[19:55] ---
    I can play any infield position!
[19:57] ---
    My strong point is that
    I play solid defense! Grade eleven!
[20:01] ---
    "Kenjirou Murotani"
[20:01] ---
    Kenjirou Murotani!
[20:06] ---
    I love fly balls! Grade twelve!
[20:10] ---
    "Shigeru Koumoto"
[20:10] ---
    Shigeru Koumoto!
[20:13] ---
    I have confidence in my throwing arm!
[20:15] ---
    Grade eleven! Shuji Ogura!
[20:19] ---
    Hey!
[20:22] ---
    Leave the grounders to me!
    Grade eleven! Shigematsu!
[20:26] ---
    I'm fast and I'm good! Grade twelve! Hirao!
[20:30] ---
    Anytime and anywhere! I am your Takeshita!
[20:34] ---
    Can't we do something about
    them over-selling each play?
[20:39] ---
    I kind of like it. They're full of spirit.
[20:44] ---
    If it's no more than spirit, then sure.
[21:03] ---
    Every one of them is trying
    too hard, trying to show off.
[21:08] ---
    Let's hope it doesn't disrupt their swings.
[21:41] ---
    Whose swing did he say was disrupted?
[21:43] ---
    I wonder.
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, we face Sankou High School.
[23:26] ---
    Apparently their cleanup
    hitter is particularly powerful.
[23:29] ---
    Sankou High School.
    I remember that name from somewhere.
[23:31] ---
    I believe that was who Mita of Toushu
    played against in his debut match.
[23:34] ---
    I think it became known
    for something before that.
[23:37] ---
    Back then, they made it
    to Koshien two years in a row.
[23:39] ---
    No, even before that, there was
    something with Meisei High School.
[23:42] ---
    "You Are Thinking of Someone"
[23:42] ---
    Next time. "You Are Thinking of Someone."
[23:44] ---
    I remember! That game from 30 years ago!

[00:10] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[00:16] ---
    "Toushu"
[00:17] ---
    A seeded high school
    is finally making an appearance.
[00:23] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:26] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:29] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:32] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:35] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:38] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:40] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[01:01] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[01:07] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[01:13] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[01:19] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[01:25] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[01:31] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[01:40] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then

[02:24] ---
    "Game 2 | 11:00 | Estimated Start Time
    Third Base Dugout | First Base Dugout
    Seinan    |    Takeoka"
[02:35] ---
    Strike!
[02:40] ---
    For your reference, I'll just say this.
[02:43] ---
    We won't be facing Seinan
    unless we make it to the finals.
[02:47] ---
    Then make it to the finals.
[02:49] ---
    Keep this in mind.
[02:51] ---
    To do that, we need to defeat
    top-seeded Toushu who won
[02:51] ---
    "Game 1
    Toushu 11
    Shimosakanishi 0"
[02:55] ---
    the last game in five innings
    due to the mercy rule.
[02:58] ---
    Then defeat them.
[03:00] ---
    Well sure, that's true, but...
[03:03] ---
    Our team has too many weaknesses
    compared to a seeded team.
[03:08] ---
    I'm not telling you
    to win ten out of ten games.
[03:12] ---
    You just need to beat them once.
[03:13] ---
    It's not rock-paper-scissors. It'll be tough.
[03:17] ---
    To win by chance in a nine-inning game.
[03:23] ---
    Are you the type that
    will contradict everything I say?
[03:26] ---
    It is the catcher's job to always calmly
    judge the team's situation.
[03:34] ---
    I kind of realized this already,
    but it sounds like we can't get along.
[03:39] ---
    Huh?
[03:40] ---
    "He Reminds Me of Someone"
[03:48] ---
    Ah, now wait a minute.
[03:50] ---
    They say that with couples,
[03:52] ---
    complete opposites get along
    better than those who are alike.
[03:56] ---
    What do you mean couple?
[03:58] ---
    Relationships within the
    club are prohibited...
[04:04] ---
    "Takeoka"
    "Seinan"
[04:06] ---
    Darn it!
[04:08] ---
    I was trying for a no-hitter,
[04:11] ---
    but now it's no more than a reference record.
[04:14] ---
    Stop being so picky!
[04:16] ---
    Go out and greet the other team.
[04:18] ---
    Yeah.
[04:20] ---
    Due to the seven-inning mercy rule, Seinan!
[04:24] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:27] ---
    What?! No way.
[04:30] ---
    The game's over because
    you took your sweet time!
[04:34] ---
    But think about it.
[04:35] ---
    There's a good chance that we could meet
    Saijyou, playing the next game, in the finals.
[04:43] ---
    Well, never mind that.
[04:45] ---
    We're here, so let's find a seat.
[04:50] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[04:57] ---
    What is Nangou complaining
    to the manager about?
[05:01] ---
    Why, that's obvious.
[05:04] ---
    It's because the manager sent Souichirou
    to watch the game with Haruka.
[05:08] ---
    But that's obvious, when considering
    who's better at collecting data.
[05:13] ---
    Yeah, we're all in agreement.
[05:16] ---
    With the exception of that guy.
[05:24] ---
    "Takamidai Station North Entrance"
[05:33] ---
    They're back! Haruka and Souichirou!
[05:41] ---
    Give it a rest! How will
    we know until we try?!
[05:45] ---
    Like I said, baseball isn't a
    game of rock-paper-scissors!
[05:49] ---
    I know they're different! That's obvious!
[05:52] ---
    Then why do you keep saying
    what you can't be sure of?
[05:55] ---
    Ah! Forget it!
[05:58] ---
    If I continue talking with you,
    I may end up hating baseball.
[06:02] ---
    Hey! Wait a minute!
[06:14] ---
    What's gotten into him?
[06:19] ---
    Never mind and get changed.
[06:22] ---
    Right away.
[06:24] ---
    I've never seen that before.
[06:25] ---
    A girl being fed up with Souichirou.
[06:28] ---
    You're right.
[06:36] ---
    Are you praying for help?
[06:38] ---
    Oh! Souichirou, welcome back.
[06:42] ---
    Look! A treasure of our baseball team!
[06:45] ---
    It's the ball signed by all players
    on the national championship team.
[06:49] ---
    So, what request did you
    make to the treasure?
[06:53] ---
    The round of 16,
    or possibly the quarterfinals.
[07:01] ---
    Am I asking for too much?
[07:04] ---
    I can't believe they're father and daughter.
[07:07] ---
    Huh?
[07:16] ---
    Oh. Sorry.
[07:17] ---
    The hose was coming loose,
    so I tried to stop it.
[07:21] ---
    I can't use my left arm, after all.
[07:25] ---
    You did that on purpose.
[07:27] ---
    What are you saying?
[07:29] ---
    If I did it on purpose,
    I'd make an effort not to get myself wet!
[07:33] ---
    As a catcher, you need
    to calmly judge the situation.
[07:37] ---
    Hey!
[07:45] ---
    I can't drink so many!
[07:50] ---
    I heard you went to see
    the game of a seeded high school.
[07:53] ---
    Yeah. I thought we'd get there
    in time for the Seinan game,
[07:57] ---
    but the game ended when we arrived.
[07:59] ---
    Right. But I thought you wouldn't be facing
    Seinan unless you made it to the finals.
[08:04] ---
    You're right.
[08:06] ---
    Then we'll make it to the finals.
[08:12] ---
    But to do that, we must
    get past top-seeded Toushu...
[08:15] ---
    Then we'll defeat them.
[08:21] ---
    Touma dear! Hurry and take your bath!
[08:25] ---
    OK!
[08:28] ---
    If it's a tournament where the
    seeded schools proceed as expected,
[08:32] ---
    that wouldn't be any fun, would it?
[08:35] ---
    We'll add great excitement!
[08:38] ---
    If Meisei High School defeats Toushu.
[08:43] ---
    That's true.
[08:45] ---
    Then we face Seinan.
[08:47] ---
    You'd better be ready to face us, Nishimura.
[08:51] ---
    --Yeah, I'll be waiting.
    --Touma dear! Your bath!
[08:54] ---
    First, you get ready with a bath.
[08:57] ---
    OK!
[09:00] ---
    He's so full of promise.
[09:03] ---
    So he's also the rock-paper-scissors type.
[09:06] ---
    Huh?
[09:07] ---
    We're not alike.
[09:09] ---
    Who?
[09:11] ---
    Touma and me.
[09:13] ---
    Yeah, your personalities
    are completely different.

    taking place across the country today
    as teams try to make it to Koshien.
[11:38] ---
    Kiss my butt, I say.
[11:39] ---
    Huh?!
[11:40] ---
    Oh. No, I said nothing.
[11:43] ---
    Let's go to commercial!
[11:45] ---
    So, what should I have?
[11:50] ---
    I'm sorry, sir. We're closed.
[11:53] ---
    Huh?!
[11:54] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[11:54] ---
    But come on, you just opened...
[11:56] ---
    Shut up! Get lost! Now!
[11:58] ---
    "Get lost"?
[11:59] ---
    And don't come back!
[12:00] ---
    What?
[12:05] ---
    Ball!
[12:06] ---
    What's this? He's not that great.
[12:11] ---
    Have confidence.
[12:12] ---
    There's no need to be
    intimidated by a pitcher like that.
[12:16] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:17] ---
    Is the opposing manager all right?
[12:21] ---
    He's struggling to stand upright.
[12:23] ---
    That's Manager Ekoda.
[12:25] ---
    He's a great veteran, leading
    Sankou High School for over 30 years.
[12:30] ---
    The team's been to Koshien twice.
[12:33] ---
    They're a traditional high school
    posting a decent record every year.
[12:37] ---
    They're not among the seeded high schools,
[12:39] ---
    but they're said to be fielding
    the best team in years.
[12:43] ---
    They're particularly proud
    of the power of their cleanup hitter.
[12:46] ---
    Hmm...
[12:48] ---
    And who gathered that information for you?
[12:52] ---
    Huh?
[12:53] ---
    Well, excuse me.
[12:56] ---
    Ball! Ball four!
[12:58] ---
    I think the opposing manager isn't
    the only one barely standing on his feet.
[13:05] ---
    I hear he pitched an impressive game
    in his previous outing.
[13:09] ---
    Today, he seems to be struggling
    to find the plate to begin with.
[13:14] ---
    Right, Morishima?
[13:16] ---
    Oh, the name's Kondou.
[13:20] ---
    Oh! Right, of course!
    Morishima quit two years ago, didn't he?
[13:26] ---
    Actually, three years ago.
[13:30] ---
    This. And this. And this.
[13:39] ---
    Hit batsman!
[13:42] ---
    No outs, runners on first and second.
[13:45] ---
    And now their pride, the cleanup hitter.
[13:52] ---
    He's only in his first year, after all.
[13:56] ---
    His failure to properly prepare for
    a game will prove to be a good lesson.
[14:00] ---
    Right, Watanabe?
[14:02] ---
    The name's Kondou.
[14:07] ---
    I'm kidding! I'm kidding!
[14:10] ---
    Now, this is where
    we show off our lineup's hitting!
[14:14] ---
    You guys are the best
    team we've had in years.
[14:20] ---
    Have confidence.
[14:22] ---
    There's no need to be
    intimidated by a pitcher like that.
[14:26] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:30] ---
    Now, upon submitting your
    test answers, as tradition has it,
[14:34] ---
    we'll announce the
    top five students of our class.
[14:36] ---
    What?!
[14:39] ---
    How about it, Otomi?
[14:44] ---
    Well, I think I did pretty good.
[14:48] ---
    OK!
[14:51] ---
    What?
[14:58] ---
    Oh.
[15:00] ---
    She's even got bags under her eyes.
[15:03] ---
    Although I doubt there's
    anything to worry about.
[15:06] ---
    Because that person's rarely
    been in the top five until now.
[15:11] ---
    First place, Arisa Mita.
[15:13] ---
    Huh?
[15:14] ---
    Yes!
[15:19] ---
    Calm down. There's no need to stand up.
[15:23] ---
    And stop that victory pose.
[15:27] ---
    Second place, Otomi Tachibana.
[15:31] ---
    Yes!
[15:35] ---
    Why must you stand up again right now?
[15:43] ---
    Third place, Ryou Akai.
[15:46] ---
    Fourth place, Jiro Yamada.
[15:48] ---
    Fifth place, Miyuki Kashima.
[15:52] ---
    With this test, the class
    average was better than usual.
[15:54] ---
    The top three scores were
    especially very close.
[15:58] ---
    As your homeroom teacher,
    I must say I'm very pleased.
[16:01] ---
    Now, we'll continue with class.
[16:04] ---
    Who has gone right to sleep in my class?!
[16:09] ---
    It's first place Mita.
[16:11] ---
    Huh?
[16:15] ---
    That girl.
[16:17] ---
    She may be a much more
    incredible person than we think.
[16:28] ---
    Well, that's enough talk
    about a test we finished.
[16:35] ---
    Aren't you concerned about
    the game your brothers are playing?
[16:40] ---
    You didn't catch a cold today?
[16:44] ---
    I contacted the homeroom
    teacher this morning.
[16:46] ---
    He threatened to post my test score
    if I didn't come to school.
[16:51] ---
    Our teacher knew all along.
[16:53] ---
    So you're concerned about
    how the game's going, right?
[16:57] ---
    There's no need to worry about Tou today.
[17:03] ---
    Because he said his shoulder
    was feeling really light this morning.
[17:07] ---
    Huh?
[17:10] ---
    Since grade school, on game days
    he left saying stuff like that,
[17:14] ---
    he'd hardly give up any hits.
[17:19] ---
    Really?
[17:22] ---
    Ball!
[17:24] ---
    Ball four!
[17:29] ---
    Would you cut it out?! You've been
    putting runners on base every inning.
[17:33] ---
    Come on. They got on base due
    to errors in the second and fourth.
[17:37] ---
    Even that has to do with the
    lack of rhythm in your pitching.
[17:43] ---
    Thanks to that, it's even
    affecting our offense.
[17:46] ---
    We're hitting the ball well,
    but directly at someone.
[17:48] ---
    That's strange.
[17:50] ---
    I'm feeling great.
[17:54] ---
    It looks like he'll self-destruct for us.
[17:58] ---
    That pitcher.
[17:59] ---
    You're right. But...
[18:04] ---
    Ah, no, it's nothing.
[18:12] ---
    By the way, that pitcher...
[18:16] ---
    I think I've seen him somewhere.
[18:21] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[18:27] ---
    Out!
[18:30] ---
    We place runners in scoring
    position almost every inning,
[18:33] ---
    but we can't get that next hit.
[18:36] ---
    Next hit?
[18:40] ---
    We haven't had any hits yet.
[18:44] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Sankou"
[18:48] ---
    Come on, what are you worrying about?
[18:52] ---
    We have our best team in years.
[18:56] ---
    In our previous game,
    in the seventh inning...
[19:01] ---
    We had twelve hits.
[19:02] ---
    That's right! Twelve hits and nine runs.
[19:05] ---
    The teams I put together
    always focus on offense.
[19:10] ---
    I've been managing for over 30 years.
[19:13] ---
    We may have been shut out,
    but we've never lost with no hits.
[19:17] ---
    Never in a no-hitter!
[19:20] ---
    Strike!
[19:22] ---
    Huh? Did you say, never?
[19:25] ---
    Yes! If you think I'm
    lying, check the records.
[19:29] ---
    I've always had great
    confidence in my memory.
[19:36] ---

[19:44] ---

    "Sankou"
[19:46] ---
    Two innings are plenty!
[19:49] ---
    After all, you guys
[19:51] ---
    are the best team we've had in years.
[19:55] ---
    Yes, sir!
[19:57] ---
    I'm positive he reminds me of someone.
[20:01] ---
    That pitcher.

    "Sankou"
[20:18] ---
    No need to panic.
[20:20] ---
    We can easily turn the tables in one inning.
[20:22] ---
    Have confidence.
[20:24] ---
    There's no need to be
    intimidated by a pitcher like that.
[20:28] ---
    Yes, sir...
[20:42] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[20:45] ---
    Over 30 years of managing experience.
[20:53] ---
    Strike!

    Hi, Otomi? What are you doing today?
[23:27] ---
    We were supposed to practice,
    but with this rain it got canceled.
[23:31] ---
    I was wondering what you're doing.
[23:33] ---
    Are you doing anything now?
[23:34] ---
    I know it's raining, but we have
    the day off, so let's go somewhere.
[23:37] ---
    It's probably too sudden. Yeah, I agree.

[03:11] ---
    He even got a big photo
    of him with the article!
[03:15] ---
    That's what I was telling you!
[03:16] ---
    A reference record isn't good enough.
[03:19] ---
    They treat the article
    completely differently.
[03:21] ---
    That's not the only reason
    for the significant coverage.
[03:26] ---
    The public weren't paying attention to them.
[03:29] ---
    Neither to Meisei as a team or that battery.
[03:32] ---
    That's added to the size of the article.
[03:35] ---
    I see.
[03:36] ---
    Well, of course.
[03:38] ---
    Even if I did the same, people
    expect it so no one would be surprised.
[03:42] ---
    Don't be so full of yourself.
[03:44] ---
    At this point, the only one who wouldn't
    surprise anyone is Hiroki Mita of Toushu.
[03:49] ---
    Come on, you should know better.
[03:53] ---
    I'm the type who excels when being praised.
[03:56] ---
    Yeah. Being full of himself and
    believing he's better than he really is.
[04:02] ---
    I know it all too well
    because I was the same.
[04:06] ---
    You're right that we're
    blood relatives and we look alike,
[04:12] ---
    but we're not identical
    in every sense, are we?
[04:16] ---
    Yeah. I sincerely hope not.
[04:21] ---
    First of all, you don't know how to
    properly use one of these, do you?
[04:27] ---
    Oh, right! I'll call Otomi
    to congratulate her.
[04:37] ---
    In our next life, I'll make
    sure to live next door to you!
[04:47] ---
    We'll be childhood friends.
[04:54] ---
    It's been 30 years since then.
[05:00] ---
    Huh? She went out?
[05:02] ---
    But she has the day off
    because of Foundation Day, right?
[05:06] ---
    Huh? Why do I know?
    I checked it out on the internet.
[05:10] ---
    What? That's creepy?
    No, this is normal nowadays.
[05:14] ---
    So, who did Otomi go out with?
[05:17] ---
    Huh? None of my business?
    Don't say that, Mom!
[05:22] ---
    Hello?
[05:23] ---
    You don't need to be so much like me.
[05:34] ---
    A rainy Foundation Day.
[05:35] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[05:51] ---
    The schedule being pushed back a day
    helps greatly. Especially for Touma's sake.
[05:57] ---
    Do you plan to use only
    Touma all the way to the final?
[06:02] ---
    It would be ideal to win a game
    with the mercy rule somewhere
[06:05] ---
    to reduce the number
    of innings he needs to pitch.
[06:08] ---
    But we don't have that kind of offense.
[06:11] ---
    Well, we'll just ride
    this as far as we... Huh?
[06:15] ---
    To the final?
[06:18] ---
    Yes, to the final.
[06:20] ---
    No, wait. I'm not expecting
    us to make it that far.
[06:25] ---
    Why not?
[06:26] ---
    Why not? It's only been four months
    since I became manager.
[06:30] ---
    That's being impudent!
[06:32] ---
    You have a point.
[06:33] ---
    Even if we continue winning,
    it won't be because of your managing skills.
[06:38] ---
    You fool! None of that matters!
[06:41] ---
    It does matter!
[06:43] ---
    We've got to show Mom!
[06:46] ---
    Show her how great a leader you are, Dad!
[06:49] ---
    You did so much during your days as a coach,
    but she never came to see a single game!
[06:54] ---
    She knows absolutely nothing about you!
[06:59] ---
    She knows a lot about me.
[07:03] ---
    She sees that I went out to
    play ball all day with great passion,
[07:08] ---
    knowing there was little money
    in it and ignoring the family.
[07:11] ---
    That I was not much of a father.
[07:14] ---
    Doesn't it frustrate you?
[07:16] ---
    Why should I be frustrated?
[07:18] ---
    It was my dream to become Meisei's manager.
[07:21] ---
    You're wrong.
[07:23] ---
    Your dream is to take
    Meisei to Koshien again!
[07:30] ---
    Oh. Yeah.
[07:32] ---
    That's right, Koshien. Yes, Koshien.
[07:36] ---
    Huh?
[07:38] ---
    What is it?
[07:39] ---
    Are you really a great leader?
[07:42] ---
    Yes?
[07:43] ---
    You did so much when you were a coach,
[07:46] ---
    but all you did was develop
    a weak team into a regular team.
[07:51] ---
    Sure, you were popular among club members,
[07:54] ---
    but they treated you more like a friend,
    and didn't necessarily respect you.
[07:57] ---
    Hold on there.
[07:59] ---
    Why were you able to become
    Meisei's manager in the first place?
[08:02] ---
    What's this?
[08:03] ---
    Who contacted you?
[08:06] ---
    Wait a minute.
[08:07] ---
    Were there no other candidates?
[08:09] ---
    Come on!
[08:10] ---
    Did they draw your name out of a hat?
[08:12] ---
    That's enough!
[08:14] ---
    "Punch"
[08:17] ---
    See you later!
[08:19] ---
    Otomi! It's for you!
[08:40] ---
    "Akai"
[08:46] ---
    Out of my way.
[08:50] ---
    It's you again.
[08:52] ---
    Is Ryou not home?
[08:54] ---
    I don't know.
[08:56] ---
    I haven't checked yet, so I can't be sure.
[08:59] ---
    What do you want with him?
[09:00] ---
    I promised to lend Ryou a book.
[09:04] ---
    I was going to give it
    to him at school tomorrow.
[09:07] ---
    But I happened to be in the neighborhood.
[09:13] ---
    You always have too
    much time on your hands.
[09:16] ---
    Ryou! Ryou!
[09:21] ---
    It doesn't look like he's home.
[09:22] ---
    I see. Well, excuse me.
[09:25] ---
    "Toushu High School Baseball Team"
[09:30] ---
    Hey!
[09:33] ---
    You said you're classmates
    with Ryou, didn't you?
[09:37] ---
    What about it?
[09:39] ---
    Then you go to Meisei Junior High.
[09:42] ---
    Naturally.
[09:43] ---
    "Toushu High School Baseball Team"
[09:44] ---
    Why are you wearing a
    windbreaker from Toushu High School?
[09:48] ---
    Oh, this?
[09:51] ---
    I didn't want the clothes
    I just bought to get wet.
[09:54] ---
    So I borrowed this from my brother.
[09:57] ---
    Your brother...
[09:59] ---
    What was it again?
[10:01] ---
    Yes?
[10:02] ---
    Your name!
[10:03] ---
    The name's Mita! So what?
[10:07] ---
    Mita...
[10:11] ---
    Hey!
[10:14] ---
    Come in for some tea.
[10:19] ---
    What?
[10:35] ---
    The rain's coming down harder again!
[10:38] ---
    That's why I told you
    to jog in the gymnasium.
[10:41] ---
    I can't get excited running indoors.
[10:47] ---
    Hey!
[10:48] ---
    What is it?
[10:49] ---
    I forgot to bring a change of clothes.
[10:52] ---
    Good grief.
[10:53] ---
    Hang tight. I'll call home and have
    Otomi bring you something to change into.
[10:59] ---
    I'll be right there.
[11:01] ---
    Hello!
[11:04] ---
    She went out?
[11:06] ---
    Yeah? Is that so? OK.
[11:10] ---
    She says to go get it yourself.
[11:13] ---
    How fortunate that we live across the street.
[11:16] ---
    Otomi's not home?
[11:18] ---
    No.
[11:19] ---
    I hear she left in the morning.
[11:21] ---
    In this rain? To do what?
[11:25] ---
    I hear she's on a date.
[11:27] ---
    Huh?
[11:28] ---
    In this rain?
[11:30] ---
    She's on a date.
[11:33] ---
    On a rainy day like today?
[11:35] ---
    She's on a date.
[11:48] ---
    A rainy Foundation Day.
[11:52] ---
    Afternoon.
[12:16] ---
    Thunder?
[12:18] ---
    Yeah. I hear it, in the distance.
[12:24] ---
    I've got no choice. I'm going home
    to get a change of clothes.
[12:28] ---
    Do you want to call first?
[12:30] ---
    Never mind. I have a key.
[12:33] ---
    I mean, give Otomi a call.
[12:38] ---
    Don't bother.
[12:41] ---
    That's the surest way for
    a family member to be hated.
[12:48] ---
    Oh! Lightning!
[13:00] ---
    Oh boy.
[13:04] ---
    What's with that expression?
[13:05] ---
    Try to enjoy this more.
    We're having fun, after all.
[13:09] ---
    This expression has
    nothing to do with the score.
[13:12] ---
    Oh! A perfect split!
[13:22] ---
    Here you are, Otomi.
[13:24] ---
    Thank you.
[13:25] ---
    Hurry and bowl your second roll!
[13:31] ---
    That's the current distance
    between you and Otomi.
[13:34] ---
    If you can get them closer, go ahead and try!
[13:53] ---
    So close!
[13:54] ---
    Dangerously close!
[13:58] ---
    OK! My turn next.
[14:01] ---
    Watch me, Otomi.
[14:04] ---
    OK.
[14:05] ---
    --This is where I show her that I'm a man!
    --What is he doing here?!
[14:08] ---
    --This is where I show her that I'm a man!
    --Oh.
[14:09] ---
    Boys and girls, do not do what he's doing.
[14:12] ---
    I was about to leave when he called me.
[14:15] ---
    He asked me if I happened
    to get a call from you.
[14:20] ---
    So I told him I did.
[14:22] ---
    Why did you tell him?! We're on a date!
[14:26] ---
    Huh?
[14:31] ---
    All right!
[14:35] ---
    Come on. You asked me
    to go bowling with you.
[14:38] ---
    I was just thinking that
    I wanted to get some exercise
[14:42] ---
    and figured the more the merrier.
[14:48] ---
    Yay! That was awesome!
[14:51] ---
    A date?
[14:52] ---
    I hesitated many times,
    afraid that you might say no.
[14:57] ---
    I finally worked up the
    courage to make that phone call.
[15:03] ---
    Don't underestimate the read
    and instincts of a skilled pitcher.
[15:06] ---
    I know every action you plan to take.
[15:10] ---
    You need a lot more training
    to be able to outwit me.
[15:14] ---
    Akai.
[15:15] ---
    Hurry and bowl your second throw!
[15:20] ---
    I rolled it.
[15:22] ---
    You left so many pins.
[15:25] ---
    I'm the type to politely hit the corners.
[15:29] ---
    Don't compare me to common pitchers
    who easily throw it right down the middle.
[15:35] ---
    Well, I won't even talk
    about the first throw.
[15:38] ---
    I trust you haven't forgotten our promise
    that the one with the lowest score
[15:42] ---
    pays for the games we bowl.
[15:46] ---
    It's already decided, right?
[15:49] ---
    I have a handicap of 20,
    so you're right about me.
[15:53] ---
    But since you've been aiming
    too much for the corners,
[15:55] ---
    you've left him with a chance to beat you.
[15:58] ---
    What? You're kidding.
[16:09] ---
    --Let's see, if I get a strike
    in the last frame, then...
[16:13] ---
    --I'm sorry.
    --Let's see, if I get a strike
    in the last frame, then...
[16:15] ---
    I was being insensitive.
[16:17] ---
    I'll be careful from now on.
[16:29] ---
    Oh boy.
[16:39] ---
    There's no way that
    Otomi Tachibana is insensitive.
[16:43] ---
    I know very well that you meant no harm.
[16:46] ---
    So you have no need to apologize to some
    lonely guy who asks you out to go bowling
[16:52] ---
    and decides on his own that it's a date!
    You mustn't apologize!
[16:56] ---
    Oh, but the average girl would
    have picked up on such things, right?
[17:00] ---
    I'm sure.
[17:02] ---
    You're not an average girl.
[17:04] ---
    Yes?
[17:06] ---
    You're special. Otomi Tachibana.
[17:14] ---
    This is where an average girl
    would fall for you, right?
[17:18] ---
    I'm sure.
[17:19] ---
    You had me worried!
[17:21] ---
    There's no chance I'll lose unless I miss
[17:25] ---
    and Akai finishes off
    the final frame with strikes!
[17:29] ---
    Good job! You were finally
    able to calculate that!
[17:32] ---
    Ahem!
[17:33] ---
    Second throw, coming up!
[17:36] ---
    Boys and girls, definitely
    do not do what she's doing.
[17:43] ---
    That's the current distance
    between me and Otomi.
[17:48] ---
    Yes!
[17:50] ---
    I see...
[17:59] ---
    OK!
[18:01] ---
    Next, we'll compete at
    a batting center, Akai!
[18:05] ---
    That's not fair!
[18:07] ---
    Of course, I'll give you a handicap.
[18:09] ---
    I'll face 130 kph pitches,
    and you face 100 kph pitches.
[18:12] ---
    We'll see which one of us
    can get more clear hits.
[18:15] ---
    Otomi will decide whether
    or not they're hits.
[18:17] ---
    Huh?
[18:18] ---
    Well?
[18:19] ---
    I'll do it.
[18:20] ---
    What?
[18:21] ---
    OK, then it's decided.
[18:23] ---
    Now that it's decided,
    let's move to our next location.
[18:32] ---
    I see.
[18:34] ---
    Otomi received a call from Akai after nine.
[18:37] ---
    She was invited to go bowling
[18:39] ---
    and was ready to leave at about 10:30.
[18:43] ---
    Yeah, I think those times are about right.
[18:47] ---
    How did she seem at the time?
[18:48] ---
    Huh?
[18:51] ---
    A. She seemed to be having fun.
[18:52] ---
    "A. Having fun"
[18:54] ---
    B. She seemed unwilling and reluctant.
[18:55] ---
    "A. Having fun"
    "B. Unwilling"
[18:57] ---
    C. She was so excited,
    she began skipping about.
[18:58] ---
    "A. Having fun"
    "B. Unwilling"
    "C. Skipping"
[19:04] ---
    I guess that would be "A."
[19:07] ---
    But she only said she was going bowling.
[19:10] ---
    She didn't say anything
    about it being a date, right?
[19:13] ---
    You're right.
[19:14] ---
    But that has to be a date.
[19:17] ---
    Don't be so sure. It all has
    to do with what she thinks.
[19:21] ---
    It's not for others to decide.
[19:24] ---
    So, what was she dressed in?
[19:26] ---
    A. She was wearing something fancy.
[19:27] ---
    "A. Wearing something fancy"
[19:29] ---
    B. No different from what she usually wears.
[19:30] ---
    "A. Wearing something fancy"
    "B. What she usually wears"
[19:32] ---
    C. A jersey.
[19:32] ---
    "A. Wearing something fancy"
    "B. What she usually wears"
    "C. Jersey"
[19:34] ---
    Let's see...
[19:35] ---
    See you later!
[19:40] ---
    Yeah, I'd say no different
    from what she usually wears.
[19:43] ---
    Then no sweat.
[19:45] ---
    It's raining, so I think that's appropriate.
[19:48] ---
    Yes, I guess so.
[19:50] ---
    An outfit for a rainy day.
[19:53] ---
    And, just as Otomi was about to leave,
[19:56] ---
    she got a phone call.
[19:58] ---
    A phone call? From who?
[20:01] ---
    Oh dear. What was his name?
[20:04] ---
    He's in Otomi's class and
    a member of the baseball team.
[20:06] ---
    With a funny name.
[20:08] ---
    Ichiban Natsuno?
[20:10] ---
    That's it! That boy, that boy!
[20:13] ---
    Did Otomi tell him?
[20:15] ---
    That she's on her way
    to go bowling with Akai?
[20:18] ---
    Yes she did. Including when and
    where they were meeting and other stuff.
[20:27] ---
    The phone.
[20:28] ---
    Right away.
[20:30] ---
    Hello?
[20:32] ---
    Yes?
[20:35] ---
    All right.
[20:37] ---
    Touma. You're asked to return at once
    because meetings are about to begin.
[20:42] ---
    That was from Souichirou.
[20:43] ---
    Oops, I forgot. I came
    home to get some clothes.
[20:47] ---
    See you later!
[20:48] ---
    Goodbye!
[20:58] ---
    "Soccer Team: Akai (Ryou)"
    "Grade Nine"
[21:06] ---
    Can we add that one as a hit, too?
[21:09] ---
    Go right ahead.
[21:25] ---
    How many hits is a home run?
[21:27] ---
    The number of bases don't matter!
    Every hit counts as one hit!
[21:45] ---
    Give me a break, Soccer Team!
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Our head of the household,
    Eisuke Tachibana, is very mysterious.
[23:28] ---
    It appears to be true that
    he's a businessman...
[23:31] ---
    ...but we already had our detached home
    with a yard as far back as I can remember.
[23:34] ---
    He says he's not interested in promotions...
[23:37] ---
    ...but we have no idea
    what he does during the day.
[23:39] ---
    Not to mention, he drinks beer
    and falls asleep every night.
[23:42] ---
    "Do You Envy Them?"
[23:42] ---
    But he's able to support four family members.
[23:44] ---
    Next time, "Do You Envy Them?"
[23:45] ---
    In a way, I do envy him.
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"

    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[00:03] ---
    "Shiraishi"
    "Meisei"
[00:14] ---
    Fair ball!
[00:18] ---
    How do you explain this?
[00:21] ---
    All borderline pitches are called balls,
[00:25] ---
    and all weakly hit balls become hits.
[00:28] ---
    Have I used up all my luck from
    the last game with that no-hitter?
[00:33] ---
    But which side is really dealing
    with bad luck, I wonder.
[00:37] ---
    You, who have been
    complaining from the beginning,
[00:40] ---
    or the team who's had four hits and
    three walks thus far, but not a single run.
[00:46] ---
    They look awfully frustrated.
[00:49] ---
    In any case, they're a team
    with no power hitters,
[00:52] ---
    who try just to put the ball in play.
[00:56] ---
    You won't be hit hard even if you
    do throw it right down the middle.
[01:00] ---
    Overpower them with your pitches.
[01:01] ---
    That's what Haruka said at the meeting.
[01:08] ---
    Huh?
[01:08] ---
    What do you mean, "huh"?
    Weren't you listening?
[01:12] ---
    When she stood up, and the
    button on her blouse came undone,
[01:15] ---
    and she spoke while grabbing onto her blouse?
[01:23] ---
    Catch a cold?
[01:24] ---
    No, I don't think so.
[01:30] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[01:34] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:37] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:40] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:43] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:45] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:48] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:09] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[02:15] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[02:21] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[02:27] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[02:33] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[02:39] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[02:48] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     *    *
[02:54] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     *    *
[03:00] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     *    *
[03:07] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too
     *    *
[03:32] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[03:46] ---
    That's what you should be doing, Touma.
[03:50] ---
    I was thinking so right from the beginning.
[03:53] ---
    This lineup has no power,
    so just overpower them.
[03:59] ---
    Oh? You too, I see.
[04:02] ---
    Huh?
[04:02] ---
    Yeah, you're not the former
    junior high team captain for nothing.
[04:07] ---
    Right?
[04:19] ---
    "Do You Envy Them?"
[04:28] ---
    Safe!
[04:32] ---
    Great! A double!
[04:34] ---
    Nice running!
[04:40] ---
    You could've been a top athlete
    whatever sport you selected, Ryou.
[04:45] ---
    No.
[04:47] ---
    Baseball is the one sport
    I've never had confidence in.
[04:50] ---
    What?!
[04:51] ---
    "Baseball Team"
[04:52] ---
    Here is Ichiban Natsuno of the baseball team,
    paying because he lost the challenge.
[04:56] ---
    Because I was brought up
    watching a genius from close range.
[05:00] ---
    I would call that a fortunate environment.
[05:04] ---
    I don't like to be compared.
[05:06] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[05:08] ---
    You're brothers, and you're the younger one.
[05:13] ---
    Yeah. We're brothers.
[05:17] ---
    Although he's an older brother who suddenly
    appeared before me when I was four.
[05:24] ---
    My parents are both remarried.
[05:28] ---
    What?! That's just like my parents.
    What a surprise.
[05:33] ---
    Huh? The same?
[05:35] ---
    You're kidding!
    But your brothers get along so well.
[05:39] ---
    Huh? Aren't they twins who don't look alike?
[05:42] ---
    Hey, come on!
[05:44] ---
    You didn't know all this time?
[05:46] ---
    You'd have a harder time finding someone
    around here who doesn't know.
[06:01] ---
    Out!
[06:11] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[06:19] ---
    Wait, is this team really Meisei High School?
[06:24] ---
    "Meisei Alumni"
[06:24] ---
    I figured the no-hitter was a fluke,
[06:27] ---
    so I came in just for the fun of it.
[06:30] ---
    But the opponent hasn't had a
    decent hit against him in this game, either.
[06:34] ---
    That tenth grader.
[06:37] ---
    Yeah.
[06:38] ---
    And that hard-throwing catcher batting third.
[06:41] ---
    He's caught all three
    attempted steals against them.
[06:44] ---
    This brother battery is really something!
[06:48] ---
    Hey, did you know?
[06:50] ---
    Those brothers who work well together
    are actually not blood relatives.
[06:55] ---
    Get real. Of course I know.
[06:59] ---
    Yeah. They live across
    the street from the school,
[07:02] ---
    and their parents are both remarried, right?
[07:05] ---
    Everyone knows it.
[07:07] ---
    There isn't a single person living
    in the area who doesn't know.
[07:13] ---
    "Shiraishi"
    "Meisei"
[07:19] ---
    You won't find her
    if you keep looking over there.
[07:25] ---
    Otomi... is over there.
[07:34] ---
    She's on loan to the brass band
    and is currently performing.
[07:49] ---
    Well? Do you envy them? Mr. Soccer Team?
[07:54] ---
    Currently in Japan, there is no bigger summer
    event than the high school baseball tournament.
[08:01] ---
    Yeah.
[08:08] ---
    I envy them.
[08:10] ---
    But don't start telling me now
    that you want to begin baseball.
[08:14] ---
    I've never once had confidence
    when it comes to baseball.
[08:19] ---
    Yeah, I heard that.
[08:21] ---
    But... the other day,
[08:24] ---
    I did beat the ace pitcher and cleanup hitter
    of the junior high team in a baseball challenge.
[08:29] ---
    Y-You fool!
[08:30] ---
    I was facing 130 kph pitches and
    you had the handicap of facing 100 kph pitches!
[08:35] ---
    But...
[08:38] ---
    It gave me confidence.
[08:39] ---
    Don't tell me...
[08:46] ---
    I'm kidding.
[09:03] ---
    "Shiraishi"
    "Meisei"
[09:23] ---
    Out!
[09:24] ---
    Stop unnecessarily prolonging the scene.
[09:30] ---
    He follows up his no-hitter with a shutout!
[09:33] ---
    Nice pitching! Nice game!
[09:36] ---
    What's so nice about it?
[09:38] ---
    Given how Touma pitched today,
    it's almost a miracle that they didn't score.
[09:44] ---
    Yeah, I guess you're right.
[09:46] ---
    Also that we benefitted from the fact every
    move their manager made worked against them.
[09:51] ---
    It was Souichirou's leading that resulted
    in every move working against them.
[09:55] ---
    We were only charged with one error,
    an area we were particularly worried about.
[10:00] ---
    We made five mistakes in offense and
    defense that will go unnoticed in the books.
[10:06] ---
    Good! You're observing
    what needs to be observed!
[10:12] ---
    Good boy.
[10:13] ---
    Hey, stop that.
[10:31] ---
    Really.
[10:34] ---
    I envy them.
[10:48] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[10:51] ---
    Over there. That guy, and that guy.
[10:55] ---
    And I see that guy often, too.
[10:58] ---
    Oh?
[11:00] ---
    Are they all alumni of our school?
[11:03] ---
    I'd say probably.
[11:05] ---
    Hey!
[11:07] ---
    That man with the funny hat and sunglasses
    has been known for coming since long ago.
[11:12] ---
    Oh?
[11:13] ---
    He usually watches quietly from a corner,
[11:17] ---
    but he was uncharacteristically excited
    during that no-hitter the other day.
[11:21] ---
    I'd think anyone would
    get excited about that game.
[11:25] ---
    I wonder if it's not getting
    in the way of his work.
[11:29] ---
    Well, I'm sure he's got time on his hands.
[11:31] ---
    It would be difficult
    for a regular office worker.
[11:37] ---
    I agree.
[11:50] ---
    I'm no one suspicious.
[11:55] ---
    I'm home!
[11:57] ---
    Hi there.
[11:58] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[12:00] ---
    Boy, it is so hot.
[12:03] ---
    I was outside making the rounds
    all day today. I thought I'd die.
[12:10] ---
    Do you want to take a bath first?
[12:13] ---
    Yeah. I think I'll do that.
[12:15] ---
    Aren't you going to ask?
[12:18] ---
    Huh?
[12:19] ---
    The game results.
[12:21] ---
    Oh! Yes, of course!
[12:25] ---
    My mind was on work,
    so I completely forgot.
[12:28] ---
    So, how did it go?
[12:30] ---
    We won.
[12:31] ---
    Oh! Is that right?!
[12:34] ---
    So we won the game three to nothing!
[12:39] ---
    Don't you get fired from work.
[12:43] ---
    Huh?
[12:48] ---
    Wow, that brings back memories.
[12:51] ---
    That was your Father's
    Day present to your dad
[12:53] ---
    from when you were in
    grade school, right? That hat.
[12:58] ---
    And these sunglasses
    were a present from Sou and Tou.
[13:05] ---
    Oh, this feels so good!
[13:08] ---
    ♪ This school where we stand proud! ♪
[13:13] ---
    ♪ Our dear old Meisei High!  ♪
[13:15] ---
    Your dad's in such a good mood.
[13:18] ---
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
[13:21] ---
    No wonder he never gets promoted.
[13:25] ---
    Did you say something?
[13:26] ---
    Huh? Not really.
[13:35] ---
    Meisei High School Baseball Team.
[13:42] ---
    "1986 68th Koshien
    National High School Tournament
    Champions Meisei High School"
[13:48] ---
    "Meisei High School"
    "Champions on their first appearance!!"
[13:50] ---
    They're in the round of sixteen
    for the first time since that year.
[13:55] ---
    The nostalgic Meisei High School name
    gradually becomes the talk of the town,
[14:00] ---
    and excitement continues to build daily.
[14:04] ---
    School representatives begin to get restless,
[14:06] ---
    "We can do this! Koshien"
    "Meisei High School Alumni Association"
[14:07] ---
    and the alumni get ahead of themselves.
[14:23] ---
    What do you think?
[14:25] ---
    About what?
[14:27] ---
    We've only won three games.
    People are getting too excited.
[14:32] ---
    Not to mention, the average
    age of spectators seems high.
[14:36] ---
    Our school has many fans
    aside from our alumni.
[14:41] ---
    Because I hear the team got the
    entire nation excited the year they won.
[14:46] ---
    What happened way back
    then has little to do with us.
[14:50] ---
    It's true that from this point on,
    all teams we face will be top level.
[14:55] ---
    The excessive expectations
    become nothing but pressure.
[14:58] ---
    That's not what I mean.
[15:01] ---
    The excitement should start
    after we defeat Toushu!
[15:07] ---
    And when we beat Seinan in the final,
    the drama will reach its climax!
[15:12] ---
    And then it'll reach maximum excitement!
[15:15] ---
    Where does that incomprehensible
    confidence of yours come from?
[15:20] ---
    How could I have any confidence?
    We have no experience, after all.
[15:26] ---
    I just think it would be
    so much fun if it happened.
[15:29] ---
    That's correct!
[15:32] ---
    That's it. It all starts there.
[15:35] ---
    Come on. Wait a minute.
[15:37] ---
    This is the game Toushu played yesterday.
[15:41] ---
    It's a video of the game aired on TV.
[15:43] ---
    Thank you.
[15:44] ---
    We've got to face Houkaidai Sankou first!
[15:48] ---
    What are you saying? If we beat them
    and win the game after that,
[15:52] ---
    we'll be facing Toushu in no time.
[15:54] ---
    In no time?
[15:56] ---
    Guys like you who only look at
    their next step when walking
[15:59] ---
    will end up hitting a telephone pole.
[16:01] ---
    What's with that example?!

    Should you be laughing?

    You can't tell if a persimmon's
    bitter just from its looks.

[19:03] ---
    That's Ryou Akai's older brother.
[19:08] ---
    Oh my. Who is this man standing here?
[19:15] ---
    Hi.
[19:16] ---
    Koma? What are you doing here?
[19:20] ---
    Well, you see,
[19:22] ---
    there are so many spectators,
    I can't get a break.
[19:27] ---
    As things were, I was about
    to pass out from lack of oxygen.
[19:30] ---
    So you're skipping practice.
[19:32] ---
    I prefer the term "taking a break."
[19:34] ---
    Not that I care, but what's with your outfit?
[19:39] ---
    I can't exactly wander
    about here in my uniform,
[19:43] ---
    so this is my disguise.
[19:45] ---
    You seem to be quite used
    to taking so-called breaks.
[19:49] ---
    What?! Ryou's older brother?!
[19:51] ---
    Oh. We're back to that topic.
[19:57] ---
    So that's Ryou's brother, who isn't related
    by blood, who is Kenjo's cleanup hitter,
[20:01] ---
    and who Ryou doesn't get along with.
[20:04] ---
    Oh? Is that so? I didn't know all of that.
[20:08] ---
    What's he doing with Arisa?
[20:11] ---
    And since when?
[20:13] ---
    I'll go and ask.

    You blockhead!
[20:17] ---
    Huh?
[20:19] ---
    Right.
[20:22] ---
    Since there's not enough time left
    in this episode, I'll pretend I saw nothing!
[20:26] ---
    Huh?
[20:30] ---
    You're carrying an awful
    lot. Grocery shopping?
[20:33] ---
    Not at all.
[20:35] ---
    My dad asked to get one each
    of this morning's sports papers.
[20:41] ---
    Your dad must be thrilled.
[20:43] ---
    Thrilled is an understatement.
[20:46] ---
    He was going nuts late into the night.
    Talk about disrupting the neighborhood.
[20:51] ---
    Your dad's not the only
    one going nuts, is he?
[20:55] ---
    You're right about that.
[20:59] ---
    If we win the next game,
    then it's Toushu, right?
[21:01] ---
    That's right.
[21:07] ---
    Aren't things going a little too well?
[21:11] ---
    Yeah, now that you mention it,
[21:14] ---
    developments like this
    are good reason to be cautious.
[21:17] ---
    Because...

    You fool! Do you want to die?!

    Preliminaries to the Summer
    Koshien Tournament.
[00:12] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Sankou"
[00:14] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament.
[00:18] ---
    Seeing Meisei High School's
    continued march through
[00:21] ---
    the tournament for
    the first time in 30 years,
[00:24] ---
    people have begun to pay
    attention to the team.
[00:24] ---
    "Shiraishi"
    "Meisei"
[00:33] ---
    Excitement has been mounting around
    this Meisei team that has come to life again
[00:35] ---
    "18 (Fri) Jingu 2 12:30"
    "20 (Sun) Jingu 13:30"
[00:37] ---
    for the first time since the legendary team
[00:40] ---
    that became champions on
    their first tournament.
[00:40] ---
    "It's in sight! Koshien"
    "Meisei High School Alumni Association"
[00:46] ---
    Focus has centered around the
    first year battery, the Tachibana brothers.
[00:50] ---
    Should Meisei, now in the
    quarterfinals, continue to win...
[00:56] ---
    Toushu High School will be waiting
    for them in the semifinals.
[01:02] ---
    Seriously? Is it possible we
    could be facing Meisei in the final?
[01:07] ---
    Not possible.
[01:12] ---
    One hundred percent.
[01:17] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[01:21] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:24] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:27] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:30] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:32] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:35] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[01:56] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[02:02] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[02:08] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[02:14] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[02:20] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[02:26] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[02:35] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     *    *
[02:41] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     *    *
[02:47] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     *    *
[02:54] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too

    East Tokyo Tournament quarterfinals. Day one.
[03:40] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Jindai"
[03:43] ---
    "Jingu Stadium Game 1
    〇 Toushu 9-1 Jindai
    (7th inning mercy rule)"
[03:53] ---
    "Jingu Stadium Game 2
    〇 Saijo 4x-3 Bukyou"
[04:09] ---
    So it's Toushu after all.
[04:12] ---
    Yeah.
[04:14] ---
    No upsets.
[04:16] ---
    Add to that, they won with
    the mercy rule again.
[04:20] ---
    Ace pitcher Mita only pitched five innings.
[04:23] ---
    And they already had the advantage of
    playing one less game, being a seeded school.
[04:27] ---
    I see. Giving them an abundance
    of spare energy and composure.
[04:32] ---
    Well, that only concerns us
    if we win tomorrow.
[04:35] ---
    "It's in sight! Koshien"
    "Meisei High School Alumni Association"
[04:36] ---
    You know, my family and
    relatives have been going nuts over this.
[04:41] ---
    Oh? Is that so?
[04:44] ---
    Oh. No one's interested
    in baseball at my home. No one.
[04:50] ---
    In fact, I'm not sure they
    even know that I play baseball.
[04:55] ---
    I find that hard to believe.
[04:57] ---
    My parents don't have
    the time to care for me.
[05:02] ---
    All they care is that I don't get
    into trouble with the police.
[05:08] ---
    Do they both work?
[05:10] ---
    Yeah.
[05:11] ---
    I see. That must be tough.
[05:14] ---
    What work do your parents do?
[05:16] ---
    A doctor and a lawyer.
[05:22] ---
    What did you do that for?!
[05:24] ---
    "You're Praying for Help"
[05:32] ---
    Awesome! Look at the movement on his pitch!
[05:40] ---
    OK! That'll be all!
[05:44] ---
    Hey, wait! Ten more pitches!
[05:47] ---
    We're done.
[05:48] ---
    Hey!
[05:50] ---
    Souichirou!
[05:52] ---
    Yes!
[05:54] ---
    Here. Good work.
[06:00] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[06:02] ---
    Oh, right!
[06:03] ---
    Did you hear? Katatataki no longer exists.
[06:07] ---
    Huh?
[06:09] ---
    There was torrential rain
    in just that area the other day.
[06:14] ---
    It caused a landslide, changing the terrain.
[06:27] ---
    Oh, that waterfall.

    I'll bet the heavens made them
    pay for those silly riddles.
[06:36] ---
    Aren't you sad?
[06:39] ---
    A place where we share memories is now gone!
[06:43] ---
    You say memories, but I don't
    remember anything from when I was three.
[06:48] ---
    And it hasn't been long enough since the
    last time we went to call that time a memory.
[06:54] ---
    Oh. That's how you feel.
[07:00] ---
    Sorry to bother you during practice
    with something so unimportant.
[07:05] ---
    Huh? Can I have that?
[07:08] ---
    Thank you.
[07:10] ---
    Punch.
[08:14] ---
    They're friends since childhood, are they?
[08:28] ---
    OK then. Please fill out that questionnaire.
[08:30] ---
    Yeah. Sure.
[08:33] ---
    I can just write whatever, right?
[08:37] ---
    Sure. If you don't care what they
    say when they introduce you on TV.
[08:43] ---
    Do you have an eraser?
[08:45] ---
    Here.
[08:46] ---
    Where's Souichirou?
[08:48] ---
    He was called to the club room
    by the manager a little while ago.
[08:52] ---
    Thanks.
[09:06] ---
    What is it?
[09:08] ---
    Oh.
[09:10] ---
    Club room, right?
[09:12] ---
    I think so.
[09:14] ---
    Got it. Club room. Club room.
[09:53] ---
    It's clearly due to pitching every game.
[09:59] ---
    Did you say something, Punch?
[10:16] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[10:19] ---
    "Game 1 (9:00)
    Seinan - Izumi Daini
    Game 2 (11:30) Kaiou Nishi - Meisei High School"
[10:20] ---
    Quarterfinals. Day two.
[10:23] ---
    Game one.
[10:39] ---
    It's clearly due to pitching every game.
[10:45] ---
    Toward the end of the previous game,
[10:47] ---
    he was having problems keeping
    his pitches down in the strike zone.
[10:51] ---
    If it wasn't for that catcher,
[10:53] ---
    they wouldn't have been
    able to hold onto the lead.
[10:57] ---
    Out!
[10:58] ---
    Even with the extra time between games,
[11:00] ---
    the physical strength of a
    first year player will only go so far.
[11:03] ---
    The weakness will be exposed
    at some point during today's game.
[11:06] ---
    And even if he manages
    to pitch a complete game today,
[11:09] ---
    he'll have nothing left for the
    next game against a top pitcher.
[11:12] ---
    Which means, it'll hardly be much of a game.
[11:16] ---
    One hundred percent?
[11:18] ---
    Strike!
[11:19] ---
    Yeah, one hundred percent.
[11:23] ---
    Our opponent in the final will be Toushu.
[11:27] ---
    And, game two.
[11:37] ---
    Manager!
[11:44] ---
    Say something?
[11:47] ---
    It's no longer zero.
[11:50] ---
    The chances of Meisei High School
    being our opponent in the final.
[11:54] ---
    "Meisei
    7 Touma Tachibana
    4 Murotani 2 Souichirou Tachibana
[11:56] ---
    3 Imagawa
    8 Ogi
    5 Nangou
[11:58] ---
    I completely read it wrong.
[11:58] ---
    6 Hirao
    9 Koma
    1 Takeshita"
[12:02] ---
    "First Pitcher: Takeshita"
    "Grade Twelve"
[12:06] ---
    I'd say.
[12:08] ---
    This summer, I planned on getting
    as far as we could with Touma
[12:12] ---
    and figure out the problems of
    the team from the games we play.
[12:16] ---
    Honestly, that's all I was expecting.
[12:20] ---
    I'd say.
[12:21] ---
    But next thing you know,
    we're in the quarterfinals!
[12:26] ---
    Next thing you know, tenth grader
    Touma has pitched four straight games.
[12:30] ---
    That's why I'm telling you, I read it wrong!
[12:33] ---
    I never dreamed that we'd make it this far!
[12:37] ---
    Ball! Ball four!
[12:40] ---
    I'd say.
[12:42] ---
    Ogi, batting second, with a good eye.
[12:44] ---
    Meisei High School's Takeshita
    in his first start of the tournament.
[12:48] ---
    With one out, he has allowed
    a speedy runner on base.
[12:52] ---
    Although the chance of Meisei High School
    being our opponents is no longer zero,
[12:58] ---
    at the same time, the chances of them
    losing this game have greatly increased.
[13:05] ---
    Ogi has a big lead off the base!
[13:07] ---
    He leads the team in steals
    for this tournament.
[13:16] ---
    Ball!
[13:25] ---
    "Left Fielder"
[13:30] ---
    They're taking you lightly, Takeshita.
[13:36] ---
    Pick-off throw!
[13:38] ---
    Safe!
[13:44] ---
    Both his pick-offs and
    quick pitches are below average.
[13:47] ---
    Not a pitcher you'd expect
    to pitch in the quarterfinals.
[13:52] ---
    Strike!
[13:58] ---
    Out!
[14:02] ---
    Did you say something?
[14:04] ---
    Two outs!
[14:13] ---
    Yes!
[14:19] ---
    Out!
[14:20] ---
    That was dangerous!
[14:23] ---
    With today's lineup,
    priority is with the offense.
[14:25] ---
    With this game, we can't calculate
    how many runs we'll give up,
[14:28] ---
    "7 Touma Tachibana"
[14:28] ---
    so we'll score as many as we can.
[14:31] ---
    Today, Touma Tachibana is
    batting first and playing left field.
[14:32] ---
    "No. 1, Left Fielder: Tachibana (Tou)"
    "Grade Ten"
[14:38] ---
    He hits the first pitch,
    but straight at the center fielder!
[14:44] ---
    Taking the mound for Kaiou Nishi
    is submarine pitcher Karashima,
[14:45] ---
    "Pitcher: Karashima"
    "Grade Twelve"
[14:47] ---
    in his second start.
[14:50] ---
    He's given up one run in nine innings
    this tournament, including in relief.
[14:54] ---
    He has been very consistent to this point.
[15:00] ---
    Out!
[15:02] ---
    Murotani, batting second,
[15:03] ---
    hitting the third-pitch grounds out
    to the shortstop. Two outs.
[15:06] ---
    His looks and delivery
    form are both horrible.
[15:09] ---
    Looks are not important.
[15:12] ---
    Right, Nangou?
[15:15] ---
    Between first and second!
[15:18] ---
    He stopped it! And the throw to first?
[15:21] ---
    Out!
[15:25] ---
    That was close.
[15:28] ---
    That won't be a hit against any team
    remaining in the quarterfinals.
[15:33] ---
    Other than our team, that is.
[15:35] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[15:41] ---
    Did you know that Touma wouldn't
    be pitching in today's game?
[15:45] ---
    Yeah. Ooyama told me over
    the phone yesterday.
[15:48] ---
    I see.
[15:50] ---
    Then that manager's satisfied
    just making it to the quarterfinals.
[15:53] ---
    You've got that wrong, you fool!
[15:59] ---
    Who might you be?
[16:01] ---
    Someone who received a
    message from your boss at work.
[16:06] ---
    He says to stop telling obvious lies,
    because it's embarrassing.
[16:09] ---
    He also says to thank him, because he
    delayed the afternoon meeting to three p.m.
[16:14] ---
    The call came just as I was leaving home.
[16:17] ---
    Why did he call home?
[16:19] ---
    Because you've turned off
    your mobile phone, Dad!
[16:22] ---
    Oh. That makes sense.
[16:29] ---
    Strike!
[16:37] ---
    Foul!
[16:40] ---
    Am I imagining it?
[16:44] ---
    Foul!
[16:46] ---
    It seems they're struggling
    to hit Takeshita's pitches.
[16:50] ---
    They're having trouble
    getting the timing right.
[16:53] ---
    After all, the Kaiou Nishi lineup
[16:55] ---
    has won their games to this point
    only facing fastball pitchers capable
[16:59] ---
    of throwing over 140 km pitches.
[17:02] ---
    Naturally, they would've also
[17:03] ---
    --practiced hitting with the assumption
    that they'd face Touma's fastball.
[17:06] ---
    --Out!
    --practiced hitting with the assumption
    that they'd face Touma's fastball.
[17:09] ---
    Thank goodness.
[17:11] ---
    But Kaiou Nishi is a team
    known for its hitting.
[17:15] ---
    They'll be scary when
    they see the ball better.
[17:17] ---
    I know that.
[17:21] ---
    Today's game has to do with
    the combined pitching and timing
[17:23] ---
    of our three senior pitchers.
[17:26] ---
    This is where I show what I'm capable of.
[17:32] ---
    "Akai"
[17:35] ---
    Bottom of the second inning,
    Meisei High School is up to bat.
[17:38] ---
    Next up is Imagawa, hitting fourth.
[17:44] ---
    Ryou!
[17:46] ---
    What is it?
[17:47] ---
    Would you mind taking this
    box to your brother's room?
[17:51] ---
    If I enter his room without permission,
    it will only lead to a fight.
[17:55] ---
    I'll tell him that I brought it in.
[17:58] ---
    Please. It's blocking the way.
[18:01] ---
    The pitch is on the way.
[18:03] ---
    Okay.
[18:52] ---
    "To Akai Tomohito
    Toushu High School Baseball Team
    Hiroki Mita"
[18:56] ---
    Mita?
[19:03] ---
    If his control slipped,
    his pitches wouldn't be unhittable.
[19:08] ---
    He's consistently keeping it low.
[19:17] ---
    Out!
[19:20] ---
    The looks and delivery form of
    that pitcher are truly horrible!
[19:23] ---
    Looks are not important!
[19:26] ---
    Right, Nan...
[19:28] ---
    ...gou?
[19:40] ---
    What did I tell you? Looks are not important!
[19:41] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[19:45] ---
    They've quickly taken the lead.
[19:48] ---
    In this game, a single run
    won't get you too far.
[19:52] ---
    Second time up for the Kaiou Nishi lineup.
[19:56] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[20:01] ---
    They've quickly taken the lead.
[20:05] ---
    They only have two runs
    in four innings. Looking good.
[20:09] ---
    Bottom of the fourth inning. Meisei hitting.
[20:11] ---
    With one out,
    Souichirou Tachibana, hitting third,
[20:14] ---
    hits the ball between the outfielders!
[20:16] ---
    As the outfielder takes his time
    to get the ball to the infield,
[20:19] ---
    he uses his speed to get to third!
[20:22] ---
    And with cleanup hitter
    Imagawa's outfield fly...
[20:26] ---
    ...the game's once again tied!
[20:29] ---
    Yes!
[20:30] ---
    "Second Pitcher: Takaoka"
    "Grade Twelve"
[20:39] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[20:41] ---
    This is a tiresome game.
[20:45] ---
    He was expecting this much.
[20:47] ---
    From the beginning.
[20:49] ---
    Today's theme is to give Touma rest.
[20:53] ---
    Winning or losing is not as important.
[20:55] ---
    Hey, wait.
[20:56] ---
    Even if we win this game,
[20:58] ---
    if we're in the semifinals with
    no further hope, that's meaningless.
[21:02] ---
    If we're going to have hope
    in the next pitcher's duel,
[21:04] ---
    we must send Touma to
    the mound in his best condition.
[21:09] ---
    If we lose today, he'll be in his
    best condition enjoying summer vacation.
[21:14] ---
    I want to see it.
[21:17] ---
    How Touma's pitching matches up
    against Toushu in an important game!
[21:22] ---
    You want to see it too, don't you?!
[21:24] ---
    Rather than watching
    a mid-range opponent like Kaiou,
[21:27] ---
    to see the tenth-grade
    ace making a shocking debut
[21:29] ---
    against the southpaw
    that the pros are raving about!
[21:33] ---
    Well, that is true.
[21:35] ---
    I'm sure they want to see it, too!
[21:38] ---
    I know the baseball gods want to see it!
[21:41] ---
    That matchup!
[21:43] ---
    I see.
[21:46] ---
    For today's game, you're praying for help.
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Summer! The sea! And Koshien!
[23:27] ---
    Hey, don't get ahead of yourself,
    we still have...
[23:29] ---
    The semifinal is against Toushu.
[23:31] ---
    Before that, we're still playing
    our game against Kaiou Nishi.
[23:33] ---
    I'm finally matched up against Mita.
[23:35] ---
    Unless we win this game,
    there is no such matchup.
[23:37] ---
    If I win, I face Nishimura in the final!
[23:39] ---
    Like I said! We're still playing this game!
    It continues to the next episode!
[23:42] ---
    "If..."
[23:43] ---
    Is that so?
[23:44] ---
    Next time, "If..."
[23:45] ---
    So the game will be decided next time.
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:48] ---
    
[23:51] ---

[00:00] ---
    "Toushu High School"
[00:02] ---
    Bottom of the sixth inning,
    Meisei High School is up to bat.
[00:06] ---
    "Bottom of 6th"
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[00:07] ---
    In the batter's box is the pitcher
    who entered the game in the last inning.
[00:10] ---
    Batting ninth, pitcher Takaoka!
[00:12] ---
    Here comes the first pitch!
[00:17] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[00:21] ---
    The Meisei baseball team that became champions
[00:24] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:27] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:30] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:33] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:35] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[00:56] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[01:02] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[01:08] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[01:14] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[01:20] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[01:26] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[01:35] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     *    *
[01:41] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     *    *
[01:47] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     *    *
[01:54] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too
     *    *
[02:19] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[02:23] ---
    They've added to their lead.
[02:29] ---
    They've escaped jams
    that could've led to big innings.
[02:33] ---
    "Bottom of 6th"
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[02:34] ---
    Without using their ace pitcher.
[02:38] ---
    Strikeout!
[02:40] ---
    We now know who our opponent
    in the semifinals will be.
[02:44] ---
    Are you satisfied facing Kaiou Nishi?
[02:47] ---
    Batting first, left fielder Touma Tachibana.
[02:50] ---
    Wouldn't you like to see it?
[02:52] ---
    His pitching once more, right in front of you.
[02:57] ---
    Unlike a practice game, in an official game,
[02:59] ---
    our team's lineup is completely different.
[03:03] ---
    That's true.
[03:08] ---
    Tachibana hits a ball that bounces before him
[03:11] ---
    for a hit into center field.
[03:16] ---
    Root for Kaiou Nishi.
[03:19] ---
    I can't imagine us losing
    to whichever team we face...
[03:22] ---
    "Bottom of 6th"
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[03:24] ---
    ...but that guy gives me the creeps.
[03:30] ---
    Creepy, he says.
[03:33] ---
    Manager says that when he praises someone.
[03:37] ---
    Yeah.
[03:38] ---
    "If..."
[03:43] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[03:44] ---
    Entering the batter's box is,
[03:47] ---
    hitting third, the elder brother,
    Souichirou Tachibana.
[03:50] ---
    Couldn't having Souichirou pitch
    this game be considered an option?
[03:55] ---
    No.
[03:56] ---
    I concluded that the
    drawback of losing Souichirou
[03:59] ---
    as our catcher outweighed
    the benefits to our team.
[04:03] ---
    If we didn't have his lead and strong arm,
    this game wouldn't even be close.
[04:07] ---
    You're right.
[04:09] ---
    He's thrown out at least
    three runners on base to this point.
[04:21] ---
    From two outs, Tachibana hitting third and
    Imagawa hitting fourth get hits to bring in a run,
[04:22] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"
    "Meisei"
[04:25] ---
    bringing Meisei High School
    to within a run.
[04:28] ---
    They're within a run. They're now within a run.
[04:32] ---
    However...
[04:32] ---
    "6 7 8"
[04:33] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"        "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8"
    "Meisei"
[04:34] ---
    That did not last long.
[04:41] ---
    Meisei High School is changing pitchers.
[04:51] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"        "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
    "Meisei"
[04:52] ---
    Bottom of the eighth inning,
    Meisei is up to bat.
[05:04] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[05:06] ---
    Strikeout on three pitches!
[05:08] ---
    Bottom of the eigth,
[05:09] ---
    Tsukamoto of Kaiou Nishi impressively
    gets the Meisei batters out in order!
[05:13] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"        "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
    "Meisei"
[05:14] ---
    It's time.
[05:16] ---
    We're returning to school, Takumi.
[05:19] ---
    Yeah.
[05:27] ---
    Oh? What's the matter?
[05:29] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[05:34] ---
    What's the matter?
[05:36] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[05:38] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[05:38] ---
    Kaiou Nishi has added
    another run in the top of the ninth.
[05:43] ---
    They now have a three run lead.
[05:45] ---
    "Kaiou Nishi"        "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9"
    "Meisei"
[05:46] ---
    We are now in the bottom of the ninth inning.
    Meisei High School is up.
[05:51] ---
    Taking the mound for Kaiou Nishi
    is ace pitcher Tsukamoto,
[05:53] ---
    who entered the game in the previous inning.
[05:56] ---
    He got Meisei's batters out
    in order in the eighth inning.
[06:00] ---
    He is showing us why he's the ace pitcher.
[06:04] ---
    Now finished with
    his longer than usual stretching.
[06:06] ---
    Play!
[06:08] ---
    Now, Kaiou Nishi. Three more outs
    to its first ever semifinals.
[06:24] ---
    He's popped it up!
[06:28] ---
    Out!
[06:30] ---
    Sorry, Touma.
[06:33] ---
    We're sorry for being such unreliable seniors.
[06:36] ---
    It's thanks to you that we're even allowed
    to pitch in such an important game.
[06:40] ---
    I feel miserable. Really.
[06:45] ---
    If I wasn't around, you would've
    had your chance to pitch earlier.
[06:48] ---
    Against an easier opponent.
[06:51] ---
    Ball! Ball four!
[06:55] ---
    Kaiou Nishi has a powerful lineup
[06:57] ---
    that has averaged more than
    seven runs per game to this point.
[07:02] ---
    You can be proud of yourselves.
[07:06] ---
    Hirao hits the first pitch!
[07:08] ---
    Oh! But it's straight back to the pitcher!
[07:11] ---
    This will be a double play, sending
    Kaiou Nishi to the semifinals for the first time!
[07:15] ---
    Is this it for Meisei?
[07:42] ---
    What happened?
[07:43] ---
    When he walked off the mound...
[07:46] ---
    ...it appears that he pulled a muscle.
[07:51] ---
    What is the meaning of this?
[07:53] ---
    Looks like they want to see it too.
[07:57] ---
    "5 6 7 8 9"
[07:58] ---
    The baseball gods.
[08:14] ---
    Yay!
[08:16] ---
    Hey, stop!
[08:19] ---
    Meisei High School somehow won this game,
[08:21] ---
    but their semifinal opponent is
    Toushu High School, which has Mita,
[08:25] ---
    who the pros have their eyes on.
[08:27] ---
    What kind of game will we see?
[08:27] ---
    "Super high-schooler left-handed Hiroki Mita
    vs. Meisei's Touma Tachibana"
[08:36] ---
    What are they thinking?!
[08:39] ---
    It's necessary. To keep the viewers satisfied.
[08:42] ---
    Huh?
[08:45] ---
    Oh, you're talking about Kaiou Nishi?
[08:49] ---
    Hm?
[08:50] ---
    Well, we can only call it bad luck.
[08:53] ---
    But that's what makes baseball
    so terrifying and interesting.
[08:56] ---
    Still, what's with this coverage?!
[09:00] ---
    There is another semifinal game!
[09:02] ---
    There is another first year ace pitcher!
    An even better one!
[09:07] ---
    You don't give the impression
    of being a tenth grader.
[09:10] ---
    Neither your face nor your attitude.
[09:13] ---
    Are you praising me?
[09:17] ---
    Take it as you like.
[09:19] ---
    Are you praising me?!
[09:31] ---
    What are they thinking?!
[09:34] ---
    It's necessary. Every once in a while.
[09:38] ---
    What's that?
[09:40] ---
    Business cards.
[09:41] ---
    They claim to be alumni from our school.
[09:43] ---
    I was visited by a company president,
    general manager, editor, a legislator...
[09:48] ---
    I was told to meet these
    old men I've never seen before.
[09:51] ---
    And even take pictures with them.
    How can I focus on practice?!
[09:57] ---
    Well, it can't be helped, can it?
[09:59] ---
    Should we end up going to Koshien,
[10:01] ---
    the school will have a
    tough time collecting donations.
[10:04] ---
    For them to cooperate willingly,
[10:07] ---
    the school must please them any way they can.
[10:10] ---
    Do they have any idea who
    we're facing in tomorrow's game?
[10:15] ---
    Hey, Touma! Do you have a moment?
[10:19] ---
    They're people concerned with the school, too.
[10:30] ---
    Hey, Touma! Do you have a moment?
[10:33] ---
    Huh? Touma?
[10:40] ---
    Souichirou. Where's Touma?
[10:43] ---
    I had him evacuate and go jogging.
[10:45] ---
    Was that a bad move?
[10:46] ---
    No. Not at all.
[10:49] ---
    What I want to know is, how did
    he get away without being noticed
[10:52] ---
    with all the attention surrounding him?
[10:56] ---
    This school is like a playground for us.
[10:59] ---
    We would always sneak in here
    to play when we were children.
[11:03] ---
    We know every inch of the premises.
[11:06] ---
    Including hard-to-find, secret ways out of here.
[11:19] ---
    Two people on one bicycle is prohibited!
[11:22] ---
    It's one person and one dog, mister.
[11:25] ---
    Who are you calling "mister"?
[11:42] ---
    What's wrong? Is the genius
    tenth grader already in a slump?
[11:48] ---
    Oh, hello.
[11:50] ---
    He seems to be having trouble getting
    over the shock of having his dream shattered.
[11:54] ---
    But he's still got another two years.
[11:58] ---
    His dream this year was not Koshien.
[12:03] ---
    Huh?
[12:04] ---
    His goal has always been Hiroki Mita,
    ever since elementary school.
[12:09] ---
    Mita of Toushu?
[12:12] ---
    He adored Mita this whole time.
[12:14] ---
    In order to one day hit Mita's pitches,
[12:16] ---
    he'd continue swinging the bat
    until his palms were scarred.
[12:20] ---
    And this year was his only chance.
[12:23] ---
    What are you saying?
[12:25] ---
    It's not like the guy died or anything.
[12:27] ---
    So why not continue pursuing him
    in pro baseball and face him there?
[12:32] ---
    You say it like that's easy to do.
[12:35] ---
    Including the days of Sumi Tech,
    the school marks its 60th anniversary next year.
[12:39] ---
    In those years, only one
    student has gone on to turn pro.
[12:43] ---
    And that one pro was never
    promoted to the first league.
[12:47] ---
    His career ended after only two years.
[12:50] ---
    What are you saying?
    If he didn't have that injury...
[12:53] ---
    Even that injury was a result of him trying
    to achieve more than he was capable of.
[12:59] ---
    The truth is, there was one
    player many times better than me.
[13:02] ---
    There was a true genius
    on the Sumi Tech team.
[13:08] ---
    Mr. Ookuma! The principal is back!
[13:13] ---
    Thanks!
[13:16] ---
    Manager.
[13:19] ---
    That guy is unmistakably the second genius
    this school's had since the team was formed.
[13:24] ---
    Take good care of him.
[13:36] ---
    What are you doing there?!
[13:39] ---
    Hi. Long time no see.
[13:41] ---
    What do you want with a
    high school that's been eliminated?
[13:45] ---
    You see, our dog ran in here when we were
[13:47] ---
    looking the other way for just a moment.
[13:50] ---
    Your dog?
[13:52] ---
    Oh, this is my younger sister.
[13:54] ---
    I'm Otomi. Nice to meet you.
[13:56] ---
    This person is...
[13:57] ---
    You're Ryou's older brother, right?
[14:00] ---
    Huh? Have you met him before?
[14:03] ---
    I saw you with Arisa Mita
    the other day at a coffee shop.
[14:13] ---
    Hiroki Mita's younger sister?
[14:15] ---
    Huh? But I thought
    she liked the younger brother.
[14:19] ---
    Huh?
[14:20] ---
    Don't get ideas. I was just meeting her
    to pick up an autograph board.
[14:25] ---
    Autograph board?
[14:26] ---
    It's none of your business.
    Would you mind leaving?
[14:34] ---
    Punch!
[14:36] ---
    There's no reason to make a scene out of it.
[14:40] ---
    I hate dogs.
[14:45] ---
    The dog seems to like you, though.
[14:49] ---
    Anyway, get out of here.
[14:52] ---
    Unauthorized people are not
    allowed on the school grounds.
[14:55] ---
    But I have reason to be here.
[14:58] ---
    You're the only one who scored runs
    against me in this tournament.
[15:03] ---
    Are you bragging?
[15:06] ---
    What I'm saying is, the better I do,
[15:09] ---
    the more it proves how good you are.
[15:12] ---
    I'd say that's good reason.
[15:14] ---
    Do you think that you
    can win against Hiroki Mita?
[15:17] ---
    I'll be battling against the Toushu lineup.
[15:20] ---
    But it's the best hitting lineup
    in the tournament.
[15:24] ---
    But there aren't that many of them.
[15:27] ---
    Batters as good as you.
[15:33] ---
    Let's go.
[15:34] ---
    Well then, sorry to disturb you.
[15:37] ---
    Tachibana.
[15:40] ---
    If...
[15:44] ---
    If... what?
[15:52] ---
    This is nonsense.
[15:54] ---
    Tell me, what is?
[16:00] ---
    Why can't those brothers get along?
[16:02] ---
    Beats me.
[16:06] ---
    Tou. Where's Punch?
[16:08] ---
    Huh?
[16:12] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament Semifinal.
[16:15] ---
    Meisei High School versus Toushu High School.
[16:19] ---
    The game everyone is waiting
    for begins at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
[16:23] ---
    Like I said!
[16:26] ---
    There is another semifinal game!
[16:30] ---
    Huh? Hey, there's another semi--
[16:51] ---
    Good!
[16:53] ---
    Otomi! I'm almost ready to go!
[16:57] ---
    OK!
[17:00] ---
    Mom. Are you really not coming with us?
[17:04] ---
    Someone's got to remain
    to make sure the home's safe.
[17:06] ---
    Only the other day, one of
    the neighbors was broken into.
[17:11] ---
    Also, since I have trouble following the rules,
[17:14] ---
    the TV, complete with commentary,
    suits me better.
[17:17] ---
    Don't worry, and go and enjoy yourself.
[17:21] ---
    The three of us will be here rooting for them.
[17:26] ---
    OK! Let's go!
[17:26] ---
    "Victory"
[17:28] ---
    Don't you need to be disguised, Dad?
[17:31] ---
    "Victory"
[17:32] ---
    No worries there.
[17:34] ---
    Today is Sunday, across the nation!
[17:41] ---
    So the time has come.
[17:42] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[17:43] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament Semifinal.
[17:46] ---
    It is the game between
    Meisei High School and Toushu High School.
[17:50] ---
    Behind the first base dugout,
    third base dugout, and even behind home plate,
[17:53] ---
    there's not an empty seat.
[17:55] ---
    It's because of the media attention
    coupled with today being Sunday.
[18:00] ---
    The media jumps on a tenth grader who
    does well and praises him more than necessary.
[18:05] ---
    It's a bad habit of theirs since long ago.
[18:07] ---
    For one thing, Meisei was on
    the receiving end of Mita's perfect game
[18:11] ---
    in a practice game
    before the summer tournament.
[18:14] ---
    Oh? Is that so?
[18:16] ---
    There's nothing about it mentioned
    in the information submitted by Meisei.
[18:20] ---
    That's because the manager ripped apart
    the score book and pretends it never happened.
[18:25] ---
    That's how sloppy that baseball team is.
[18:29] ---
    If you compare tenth graders,
    Nishimura of Seinan is far better.
[18:33] ---
    But he doesn't receive much attention because
    he's not popular among women and children.
[18:37] ---
    Oh?
[18:39] ---
    Well, I don't have to tell you.
[18:42] ---
    For a true baseball fan, there is
    only one point of interest in this game.
[18:47] ---
    How badly Meisei will lose.
[18:50] ---
    They will regret having come
    this far in the tournament.
[18:53] ---
    They'll be unsightly, miserable,
    and torn apart to pieces!
[18:56] ---
    On air in five minutes!
[19:04] ---
    How does the opposing ace pitcher look?
[19:08] ---
    Can't tell watching just the warm up.
[19:10] ---
    But any pitcher
[19:12] ---
    can have an off day on any given day, right?
[19:16] ---
    Just look at the number
    of scouts behind home plate.
[19:19] ---
    Even if he had an off day,
[19:21] ---
    the pros would not be paying
    this much attention to a pitcher
[19:25] ---
    who'd let that affect his pitching.
[19:27] ---
    It all depends on Touma.
[19:30] ---
    How badly we lose.
[19:34] ---
    What did you do that for?!
[19:35] ---
    What's with that ominous talk
    before the game's even begun?!
[19:38] ---
    Listen! I know his personality
    more than anyone!
[19:43] ---
    Including the most
    effective ways to stimulate him!
[19:49] ---
    You sure?
[19:51] ---
    Don't bother him.
    He's psyching himself up for the game.
[19:56] ---
    Sorry.
[20:07] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[20:09] ---
    This lack of tension right before a big game.
[20:12] ---
    Love it. It's so Meisei High School.
[20:16] ---
    Huh? Where's the manager?
[20:18] ---
    Toilet.
[20:19] ---
    Come on. Didn't he just go?
[20:23] ---
    It's his third trip.
[20:31] ---
    We expect a good game!
[20:33] ---
    Let's have a good game!
[20:35] ---
    Now, after the greetings by the two teams,
[20:38] ---
    the starting members of Toushu,
    who bat in the bottom half, take the field.
[20:43] ---
    The stands are packed.
[20:46] ---
    The first game of the semifinals
    has attracted much attention.
[20:49] ---
    The super high-schooler, left-handed
    ace pitcher, Hiroki Mita of Toushu.
[20:54] ---
    It won't be easy to score
    runs from this pitcher.
[20:57] ---
    He hasn't given up a single run
    in the entire tournament.
[21:00] ---
    Together with the team's powerful lineup,
[21:03] ---
    this flawless team has their eyes
    set on the national championship.
[21:06] ---
    Many have considered this team to be the
    overwhelming favorite from before the game.
[21:11] ---
    Don't be so sure.
[21:12] ---
    "Color commentator: Hyouri (51 years old)"
[21:13] ---
    With high school baseball
    and rock-paper-scissors,
[21:14] ---
    you don't know until you play it.
[21:18] ---
    Do not underestimate the momentum
    of the reborn Meisei High School.
[21:19] ---
    "Play-by-play: Mori" "Twelth Grade"
[21:22] ---
    Take the pitching of
    tenth grader Touma Tachibana.
[21:24] ---
    There's something
    about him that's enchanting.
[21:26] ---
    I believe we'll be treated to a great game.
[21:32] ---
    Your color commentator
    for this game is Mr. Omoteura.
[21:35] ---
    The characters in my name appear
    as "Omoteura," but it's read "Hyouri."
[21:37] ---
    Good to be here.
[21:38] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[21:41] ---
    The plate umpire raises his right arm.
[21:43] ---
    Play ball!
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    The semifinals have begun!
[23:26] ---
    The opponent is Toushu.
[23:27] ---
    Seinan is in the other game.
[23:29] ---
    Against the monstrous Hiroki Mita,
[23:32] ---
    how well can the tenth grade ace compete?
[23:34] ---
    There is another tenth grade ace, right?
[23:37] ---
    It's a game everyone's watching!
[23:38] ---
    You might as well call this game the final.
[23:39] ---
    Like I said! There is another semifinal game!
[23:41] ---
    "He Loves His Sister"
[23:43] ---
    Next time, "He Loves His Sister."
[23:45] ---
    Who's playing in the other game?

[00:01] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament semifinal, game one.
[00:05] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[00:05] ---
    Meisei versus Toushu.
[00:08] ---
    The super high-schooler, left-handed
    ace pitcher, Hiroki Mita of Toushu.
[00:14] ---
    The pro baseball scouts are watching closely.
[00:16] ---
    And of course, he hasn't
    allowed a run in this tournament.
[00:20] ---
    Together with its powerful lineup,
[00:22] ---
    this flawless team has their eyes
    set on the national championship.
[00:35] ---
    Each and every one
    with their respective thoughts...
[00:40] ---
    Him, too?
[00:46] ---
    The fateful game is about to begin!
[00:51] ---
    Play ball!
[00:58] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[01:01] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:04] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:07] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:10] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:13] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:15] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[01:36] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[01:42] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[01:48] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[01:54] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[02:00] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[02:06] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[02:15] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     *    *
[02:21] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     *    *
[02:28] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     *    *
[02:34] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too
     *    *
[03:02] ---
    Strike!
[03:06] ---
    One saving grace in this game
[03:10] ---
    is that everyone in our lineup has
    faced that absolute ace once before.
[03:18] ---
    The batter's mentality changes greatly
    between the first and second encounters.
[03:23] ---
    His fastball...
[03:25] ---
    ...and his wicked breaking balls.
[03:28] ---
    We all know exactly what to expect from him.
[03:48] ---
    As expected.
[03:51] ---
    "He Loves His Sister"
[03:57] ---
    He's throwing heat from the outset.
[04:00] ---
    Because their manager has no intention
    of having him pitch a complete game.
[04:05] ---
    To prepare for the final,
    they want to build a significant lead
[04:08] ---
    in the early innings so they can pull him.
[04:11] ---
    I see.
[04:14] ---
    He has struck out the side.
[04:15] ---
    The stands applaud in appreciation
    of Hiroki Mita's great pitching!
[04:21] ---
    "Color commentator: Hyouri (51 years old)"
[04:24] ---
    "Play-by-play: Mori" "Twelfth Year"
[04:27] ---
    Oh, excuse me.
[04:30] ---
    Now, things are starting to get interesting.
[04:33] ---
    I'm sure that's got pitcher
    Tachibana all fired up.
[04:37] ---
    I'll bet he'll show us
    some incredible pitching.
[04:40] ---
    He's been receiving
    all this attention, after all.
[04:44] ---
    Yes, yes.
[04:48] ---
    Toushu High School is up to bat.
[04:51] ---
    Batting first, second baseman Maeba.
[04:55] ---
    When we get four runs,
    you can come out of the game, Mita.
[05:00] ---
    Which could be as soon as the next inning.
[05:03] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[05:06] ---
    Our batting lineup has never
    scored a run against that pitcher.
[05:44] ---
    He's...
[05:46] ---
    ...struck out the side!
[05:55] ---
    Did he pitch like that before?
[05:59] ---
    It seems that being different
    from a practice game to an official game
[06:03] ---
    doesn't only apply to our lineup.
[06:07] ---
    In any case, I'll do my best
    until we get four runs.
[06:12] ---
    Ah, yeah...
[06:14] ---
    Yay!
[06:16] ---
    Hey!
[06:18] ---
    Thanks.
[06:19] ---
    Thank you.
[06:20] ---
    He's looking great!
[06:25] ---
    He's totally inconsistent.
    Even more than usual.
[06:30] ---
    Huh?
[06:32] ---
    His pitching form and swing of his arm are
    consistent, but the velocity on his fastball...
[06:38] ---
    Inconsistent?
[06:39] ---
    Which makes it tough to catch,
[06:41] ---
    but worse for anyone trying to hit it.
[06:45] ---
    Yeah.
[06:51] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[06:59] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[07:06] ---
    Not as much as facing him, though. Right?
[07:10] ---
    Yeah.
[07:11] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[07:11] ---
    That's six straight strikeouts.
[07:13] ---
    It's unusual to see the always cool
    Mita going all out from the beginning!
[07:18] ---
    He's simply overpowering the Meisei batters!
[07:21] ---
    Not really. He's no different
    from the Mita we usually see.
[07:25] ---
    It looks that way because he's
    that much better against their batters.
[07:29] ---
    It's Tachibana, though,
    who needs to watch out.
[07:34] ---
    Things went a bit too well
    for him at the start of the game.
[07:37] ---
    He mustn't get overconfident.
[07:40] ---
    Especially since the batter he's facing...
[07:44] ---
    Tani, batting fourth,
    with an aggressive swing.
[07:46] ---
    This one's headed for the stands!
[07:49] ---
    I got it.
[07:55] ---
    Must be the wind.
[07:58] ---
    No, there's absolutely no wind.
[08:01] ---
    Fukabori, batting fifth,
    hits the third pitch, a ground out to first.
[08:17] ---
    He avoided the trap.
[08:20] ---
    I was hoping he'd continue
    going for strikeouts,
[08:24] ---
    but I had forgotten about that catcher.
[08:28] ---
    That battery, they're both
    still in tenth grade, right?
[08:33] ---
    In any case, I'll do
    my best until we get four runs.
[08:38] ---
    Ah, yeah...
[08:39] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[08:41] ---
    He pitched like a different person
    in the second inning.
[08:46] ---
    I promised him that he can pitch however
    he wants to just for the first inning.
[08:52] ---
    If he gets provoked into
    pitching like that guy,
[08:56] ---
    he'll be the first to run out of gas.
[08:58] ---
    The physical strength of
    a senior and tenth grader differ,
[09:01] ---
    not to mention, he's the
    unrivaled Hiroki Mita.
[09:04] ---
    Right, Manager?
[09:08] ---
    Hm?
[09:12] ---
    They're expecting today
    to be the hottest day all year.
[09:17] ---
    The challenge from here on is how
    to keep Touma's pitch count down,
[09:19] ---
    so he can pitch more innings.
[09:22] ---
    Right, Manager?
[09:25] ---
    Hm? Oh, yes, you're right.
[09:30] ---
    Huh? Before the game someone said,
[09:32] ---
    "We have no plan! Go for broke!"
[09:35] ---
    I wonder where that old man went?
[09:38] ---
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[09:41] ---
    Foul!
[09:45] ---
    Batting eighth, right fielder Koma.
[09:49] ---
    Foul!
[09:55] ---
    It looks like he's not too keen
    on making the hitter hit into outs.
[09:59] ---
    Even if he takes something off his fastball
    or breaking ball, there's still great movement,
[10:03] ---
    so even if the pitch hits the bat,
    the ball doesn't travel forward.
[10:07] ---
    On the other hand, my pitches...
[10:10] ---
    You're saying my balls have no movement?!
[10:13] ---
    Nobody said such a thing!
[10:16] ---
    Foul!
[10:17] ---
    The trick of making the Toushu
    lineup hit into outs is only possible
[10:21] ---
    because of Souichirou's lead
    and your great control,
[10:24] ---
    precisely delivering the
    ball where he wants it.
[10:29] ---
    Well, thank you.
[10:31] ---
    What I want to know is,
[10:34] ---
    is your great control when you don't
    try to throw too hard a natural talent?
[10:39] ---
    Yes!
[10:40] ---
    One meter from the plate. The catcher
    picks it up with his bare hand, and...
[10:45] ---
    Two outs.
[10:48] ---
    Yay. How'd you like that?
[10:51] ---
    I put a stop to the run
    of consecutive strikeouts.
[10:56] ---
    Is your carefree attitude
    also a natural talent?
[11:00] ---
    Yes?
[11:04] ---
    Three outs and Toushu is up next.
[11:06] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[11:14] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[11:16] ---
    This heat from early morning is abnormal.
[11:20] ---
    It's even hotter on the mound, isn't it?
[11:23] ---
    Yeah.
[11:25] ---
    But no matter how hot it is,
[11:29] ---
    I would've loved to take the mound just once.
[11:32] ---
    Wearing Meisei's number 1 uniform.
[11:34] ---
    Sorry about that. It's all my dad's fault.
[11:44] ---
    Is that guy really my son?
[11:48] ---
    Sou has hardly had to
    move his catcher's mitt.
[11:52] ---
    I did not have the confidence to
    maintain control of my pitches to the end.
[11:57] ---
    Maybe it's because he had Sou
    to play catch with since he was little.
[12:03] ---
    I wonder about that.
[12:05] ---
    When they played catch,
[12:07] ---
    it was like fighting, throwing the ball as
    hard as they could against each other.
[12:12] ---
    In fact, it would often
    turn into a real fight.
[12:15] ---
    When that happened,
    they'd stop playing for weeks.
[12:19] ---
    And then every time...
[12:22] ---
    Every time?
[12:45] ---
    Want to rest a bit, Otomi?!
[12:49] ---
    I'm all right!
[12:58] ---
    Come on! Throw it!
[13:28] ---
    Strike!
[13:36] ---
    He can pitch like this too, can he?
[13:39] ---
    He's just like you, Mita.
[13:41] ---
    He loves his sister. Always has.
[13:48] ---
    But with me...
[13:55] ---
    We used to always fight.
[14:03] ---
    Where are you throwing it?!
[14:05] ---
    Shut up!
[14:24] ---
    What do you wish to do?
[14:26] ---
    Please go.
[14:29] ---
    Oh? Wait a moment.
[14:34] ---
    Quietly... Quietly...
[14:43] ---
    What a terrible parent.
[14:46] ---
    Her sons are battling it out in a game
    with a trip to the finals on the line.
[14:51] ---
    Yet she won't even go
    to the stadium to cheer them on.
[14:55] ---
    I came in here assured
    that there would be no one home.
[15:00] ---
    Darn it! Then a change of plans!
[15:05] ---
    Were you planning to rob from an empty home?
[15:10] ---
    You are a burglar, aren't you?
[15:13] ---
    What if I am?!
[15:36] ---
    Oh, hello, ma'am.
[15:40] ---
    He says he's a burglar.
[15:44] ---
    "Nagisa Tsukikage"
[15:48] ---
    You were a great help. I am truly grateful.
[15:53] ---
    It was nothing.
[15:54] ---
    Oh, by the way...
[15:57] ---
    Does the baseball team here
    have a day off from practice today?
[16:02] ---
    Huh?
[16:03] ---
    "Punch"
[16:13] ---
    Three outs!
[16:15] ---
    Touma Tachibana posts
    another scoreless inning.
[16:17] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[16:19] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament semifinal, game one.
[16:23] ---
    Meisei High School versus Toushu High School.
[16:25] ---
    After five innings,
    the game is tied at zero-zero.
[16:29] ---
    Huh?
[16:30] ---
    This is a semifinal game, right?
[16:34] ---
    They did say so.
[16:36] ---
    Of the East Tokyo Tournament where
    well over one hundred high schools compete.
[16:41] ---
    It appears that way.
[16:44] ---
    Why are they still playing?
[16:46] ---
    I wonder.
[16:55] ---
    To this point, each team
    has been limited to only one hit.
[17:00] ---
    Yes?
[17:03] ---
    They may each have one hit,
[17:05] ---
    but Toushu's hit was
    cleanly hit into center field.
[17:09] ---
    Meisei's was weakly hit, but just
    happened to drift over the infielder.
[17:15] ---
    I wonder about grouping
    them together simply as hits.
[17:20] ---
    A cleanly hit ball...
[17:24] ---
    ...breaks through to center field.
[17:26] ---
    Yes!
[17:29] ---
    What just happened?
[17:32] ---
    Without looking at the ball, he relied
    solely on timing his swing to the fastball.
[17:36] ---
    The ball just happened to meet his swing.
[17:38] ---
    Of course, if it wasn't for his quick swing,
[17:41] ---
    it would've been a different result.
[17:49] ---
    An all-important runner on base
    with no outs. So naturally...
[17:56] ---
    ...no matter what it takes...
[17:59] ---
    ...get the runner in scoring position!
[18:05] ---
    But that's easier said than done.
[18:08] ---
    Of course it's not easy.
[18:10] ---
    Mita's not a pitcher who you can
    easily lay a sacrifice bunt against.
[18:17] ---
    Also, even if they did get
    the ball on the ground,
[18:20] ---
    the players covering first
    and third will be quick to dash in.
[18:23] ---
    I must say, these two players
    are excellent at handling the ball!
[18:29] ---
    Hitting second, second baseman Murotani.
[18:33] ---
    The infielders are back
    to their regular positions.
[18:36] ---
    Because it's two outs.
[18:38] ---
    Who bunts the best on our team?
[18:43] ---
    I'd say that would be Murotani.
[18:45] ---
    I agree.
[18:52] ---
    But there are two outs.
[18:55] ---
    So what?
[19:01] ---
    He bunts here!
[19:03] ---
    Not expecting it, third baseman
    Kaga reacts a little late.
[19:07] ---
    But he makes up for it with his quick play.
[19:09] ---
    He grabs it with his bare hand
    and throws an arrow to first base.
[19:12] ---
    That's the excellent ball handling
    I'm talking about.
[19:16] ---
    But he throws off the mark,
    pulling the first baseman's foot off the bag!
[19:22] ---
    Safe!
[19:27] ---
    And who is the most
    reliable batter on our team?
[19:32] ---
    Me, I guess. Being the cleanup batter.
[19:36] ---
    "Ha ha"
[19:40] ---
    Hitting third, catcher Souichirou Tachibana.
[19:48] ---
    But in his two at-bats so far,
[19:51] ---
    he has struck out swinging both times.
[19:54] ---
    That's exactly why we can count on him here.
[20:00] ---
    This boy looks like he'd
    be popular among the girls.
[20:04] ---
    He's my son, after all.
[20:08] ---
    Oh?
[20:14] ---
    Foul!
[20:20] ---
    The crowd is stunned.
[20:22] ---
    He got all of that ball, but it barely
    drifted to the right of the right foul pole.
[20:28] ---
    The Meisei dugout express their frustration.
[20:31] ---
    Among them is the gorgeous
    scorekeeper Haruka Ooyama,
[20:34] ---
    who is the talk of the internet.
[20:37] ---
    She's cuter than a pop idol.
[20:40] ---
    She's my daughter, after all.
[20:43] ---
    Huh?! Which would mean...
[20:46] ---
    He's my husband.
[20:48] ---
    Oh, my...
[20:51] ---
    You've been swinging and
    missing the pitches thrown to that spot,
[20:56] ---
    all so you'd have a chance here, I see.
[20:59] ---
    Huh? What might you be talking about?
[21:03] ---
    What an annoying tenth grader.
[21:06] ---
    I agree.
[21:18] ---
    Three outs and to the bottom of the inning.
[21:23] ---
    He finally showed me one
    of his seriously thrown pitches.
[21:27] ---
    And that wore off some
    of the enemy's physical strength.
[21:36] ---
    This boy's pretty handsome, too.
[21:39] ---
    Yes. He's my son.
[21:46] ---
    Would you cut that out?!
[21:48] ---
    Huh?
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    We're now in the middle innings of the game!
[23:27] ---
    It'll be a difficult task to get
    a run off of that monster.
[23:30] ---
    You're right.
[23:31] ---
    This tense pitchers' duel.
    We can't let them score first.
[23:34] ---
    You're right.
[23:35] ---
    Still, what is it with this heat?
    I'm getting dizzy.
[23:38] ---
    You're right.
[23:39] ---
    Wait! Before you know it,
    one out with runners on first and third?!
[23:42] ---
    "It's a Matter of Time"
[23:42] ---
    Y-You're right!
[23:43] ---
    Next time, "It's a Matter of Time."
[23:45] ---
    That comical figure will also be there.
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:48] ---

[00:02] ---
    The East Tokyo Tournament,
    with a ticket to Koshien on the line.
[00:06] ---
    Semifinals, game one.
[00:10] ---
    Meisei High School versus Toushu High School.
[00:13] ---
    A game that has everyone
    on the edge of their seats.
[00:15] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[00:16] ---
    Who will win?
[00:20] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[00:24] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:27] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:30] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:33] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:36] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:38] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[00:59] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[01:05] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[01:11] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[01:17] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[01:23] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[01:29] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[01:38] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     *    *
[01:44] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     *    *
[01:50] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     *    *
[01:57] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too
     *    *
[02:23] ---
    Meisei High School's tenth grade
    ace pitcher, Touma Tachibana.
[02:32] ---
    And tenth grade catcher,
    Souichirou Tachibana.
[02:37] ---
    This "brother battery"
    also share the same birthday.
[02:40] ---
    "Play-by-play: Mori" "Twelfth Year"
    "Color commentator: Hyouri (51 years old)"
[02:40] ---
    I see, I see. Meisei's known for their twins.
[02:43] ---
    And hot springs are known for their eggs.
    It's a given, isn't it?
[02:49] ---
    Well, I'm sure many of
    our viewers are already aware,
[02:53] ---
    but these two are not brothers since birth.
[02:57] ---
    What?!
[02:58] ---
    The parents already had children
    when they got married.
[03:01] ---
    Oh, that in itself is nothing unusual.
[03:05] ---
    But considering the odds that
    each son would be born on the same day,
[03:09] ---
    one gets the sense that
    this encounter was meant to be.
[03:20] ---
    I see. It was meant to be, was it?
[03:24] ---
    By the way, I'm born on the same day
    as the world famous Hachiro--
[03:27] ---
    He hits the fourth pitch!
    But the ball is hit softly.
[03:31] ---
    The right fielder Koma runs
    forward and makes the catch.
[03:34] ---
    One out.
[03:36] ---
    "It's a Matter of Time"
[03:50] ---
    I see you weren't joking, after all.
[03:53] ---
    Huh?
[03:56] ---
    With one out, Mita,
    batting ninth, hits the ball...
[03:59] ---
    ...and it splits the
    outfield defense for a double.
[04:03] ---
    The first extra-base hit of the game belongs
    to Pitcher Mita of Toushu, hitting ninth.
[04:08] ---
    One out, runner on second.
[04:10] ---
    I get it.
[04:12] ---
    Your plan is to force him to run
    many bases and tire him out, I guess.
[04:16] ---
    Mighty impressive.
[04:18] ---
    Shut up!
[04:19] ---
    I had trouble controlling the pitch,
    and it drifted high. For the first time today!
[04:25] ---
    Listen!
[04:26] ---
    From this point on, include all mistakes
    I might make in your calculations!
[04:31] ---
    What's with that bossy attitude?
[04:35] ---
    Don't let your guard down.
[04:36] ---
    Huh?
[04:37] ---
    I want to avoid having a runner
    on third with only one out.
[04:41] ---
    Come on.
[04:43] ---
    Why are you worried?
[04:45] ---
    There's no way.
[04:48] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
[04:51] ---
    Come to think of it.
[04:59] ---
    Are you serious?
[05:02] ---
    He's running!
[05:05] ---
    A pitch out?!
[05:09] ---
    Out!
[05:10] ---
    Out! Out!
[05:12] ---
    Mita had a great lead.
[05:14] ---
    But he's tagged out in a close play.
    The Meisei battery read that well.
[05:18] ---
    No, no, no! The pitcher continues
    pitching under the blazing sun!
[05:22] ---
    And no one could've guessed
    that Mita would attempt to steal third!
[05:25] ---
    That was nothing but pure luck!
[05:28] ---
    Did you give the sign?
[05:31] ---
    Surprising, isn't it?
[05:34] ---
    One run on this fly ball to the outfield.
[05:37] ---
    That was the plan.
[05:38] ---
    I'm sorry.
[05:40] ---
    I was 100 percent confident.
[05:44] ---
    I was 200 percent sure you'd be safe.
[05:47] ---
    The moment you broke for third.
[05:51] ---
    Do those guys know how fast you run?
[05:55] ---
    I don't know.
[05:57] ---
    There should be no record of me stealing
    since I started attending this school.
[06:04] ---
    That was dangerous. Who would've
    guessed that he'd really run there?
[06:09] ---
    I was joking when I mentioned it.
[06:12] ---
    Yeah, I'm sure.
[06:15] ---
    Did something tip you off?
[06:18] ---
    Hm?
[06:19] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
[06:22] ---
    I'm not lying.
[06:23] ---
    I can't beat him on a straight path,
[06:25] ---
    but when it comes to base running,
    I'm faster than Sou.
[06:29] ---
    Because Sou insists that
    people be "straight" with him.
[06:32] ---
    What do you mean by that?!
[06:34] ---
    Come to think of it,
    Arisa was bragging about that.
[06:38] ---
    She said back when
    her brother was in grade school,
[06:41] ---
    he was better known for how fast
    he runs, rather than baseball.
[06:45] ---
    He was a hero whenever
    Sports Day came around.
[06:49] ---
    Call it a wild hunch.
[06:52] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[06:53] ---
    That's not like Toushu.
[06:56] ---
    They should play like this game's theirs.
    What are they all worried about?
[07:00] ---
    Yeah. Meisei is sure to show some
    weaknesses if they just drag it out.
[07:06] ---
    There's no reason they should be worried.
[07:09] ---
    Of course, that's if they don't
    think about the next game, the final.
[07:17] ---
    He's breathing heavily now.
[07:23] ---
    Now'd be perfect to crush him!
[07:26] ---
    Ball!
[07:29] ---
    He walked him!
[07:31] ---
    That's unusual.
[07:33] ---
    Mita, known for his control,
    has walked the batter on four pitches.
[07:36] ---
    Perhaps running that double
    and stealing third is taking its toll.
[07:41] ---
    I would say so.
[07:43] ---
    The public refers to him as a monster,
[07:46] ---
    but Mita is actually a human being.
[07:50] ---
    I should think so.
[07:52] ---
    This is a great chance for Meisei.
[07:55] ---
    But wasn't that walk a little too easy?
[07:58] ---
    He didn't have enough time
    to recover from the damage.
[08:02] ---
    That was on purpose?!
[08:04] ---
    Probably.
[08:17] ---
    Huh?
[08:19] ---
    What happened to your heavy breathing?
[08:35] ---
    Impressive!
[08:37] ---
    He has struck out the side again!
[09:00] ---
    That guy...
[09:02] ---
    ...is a monster.
[09:38] ---
    Batting fifth, first baseman Fukabori.
[09:47] ---
    Oh boy.
[09:48] ---
    While I was feeling lightheaded
    from the heat, this happened?
[09:53] ---
    Runners on the corners with only one out.
[09:55] ---
    Bottom of the seventh, Toushu with
    a great chance to score the first run.
[09:59] ---
    After the first out, the second baseman
    was late covering a ball hit straight to him.
[10:03] ---
    Followed by some poor defense
    when the center fielder misjudged the ball.
[10:08] ---
    Meisei High School now
    find themselves in a jam.
[10:10] ---
    One cannot help but feel sorry
    for the pitcher, Tachibana.
[10:14] ---
    Nonsense.
[10:16] ---
    Including the line drive hit to third
    by Sakai, batting first this inning,
[10:19] ---
    the balls have been hit well.
[10:23] ---
    Well, it's to be expected
    when you think about it.
[10:26] ---
    We're going through the order a third time.
[10:29] ---
    The batters are now showing us
    what they're capable of.
[10:33] ---
    The infielders and
    outfielders alike are becoming
[10:36] ---
    more and more tense with each inning.
[10:39] ---
    Being such an important game,
    and given the large crowd,
[10:42] ---
    not to mention how the game's developed,
[10:44] ---
    it's not surprising that the inexperienced
    Meisei team would be so tense.
[10:48] ---
    A squeeze bunt?
[10:50] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[10:52] ---
    That's our cleanup hitter.
[10:54] ---
    Our hitter has had a good
    look at his pitches,
[10:57] ---
    and he's at the peak of exhaustion,
    losing speed and movement on his pitches.
[11:01] ---
    We'll crush him and take command of the game!
[11:03] ---
    Please do that.
[11:06] ---
    If I'm not mistaken, if
    he gets over this hump,
[11:10] ---
    he will come back to life again.
[11:13] ---
    I admit I was mistaken.
[11:16] ---
    I never imagined that we'd have
    this much trouble against them.
[11:20] ---
    Foul!
[11:22] ---
    Fukabori, batting fifth,
    swings for the fences on the first pitch.
[11:25] ---
    He's looking great!
[11:27] ---
    He looks to have figured out the timing.
[11:31] ---
    So hot.
[11:33] ---
    Get out of this jam, Touma.
[11:35] ---
    A run here will be fatal.
[11:40] ---
    That pitch is trouble!
[11:44] ---
    Fukabori hits it square!
    The bat makes a loud noise, and the ball...
[11:49] ---
    The ball...
[11:51] ---
    ...finds its way into Tachibana's glove!
[11:54] ---
    Oh? The third base runner is caught off base!
[12:01] ---
    That was...
[12:03] ---
    That was a double play.
[12:05] ---
    Hm?
[12:07] ---
    It's OK to be happy here.
[12:10] ---
    Oh? I thought so!
[12:12] ---
    Yay!
[12:14] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[12:15] ---
    Toushu High School could not score.
[12:18] ---
    One out with runners on first and third.
[12:20] ---
    Touma Tachibana was able
    to escape quite a jam.
[12:24] ---
    I must say, he did really well.
[12:27] ---
    He should be proud of what he's doing.
[12:29] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament Semifinals, game one.
[12:33] ---
    We are still scoreless.
[12:36] ---
    Sorry.
[12:37] ---
    This is what baseball is.
[12:43] ---
    With this matchup, many expected the game
    to be a one-sided affair favoring Toushu.
[12:47] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[12:49] ---
    But we have been treated
    to a masterful pitching duel.
[12:53] ---
    I'm sure this uniform brings back memories for
    fans of high school baseball from many years back.
[12:58] ---
    It's been over 30 years since that
    miraculous national championship year.
[13:01] ---
    Can this Meisei team create
    a whirlwind of their own?
[13:05] ---
    However...!
[13:08] ---
    At this stage, Mita's pitches seem
    to have gotten even more powerful!
[13:15] ---
    Three outs! Switch sides!
[13:29] ---
    It's a matter of time.
[13:32] ---
    Luck runs out at some point.
[13:35] ---
    I can't see that lineup scoring any runs
    against Mita, the way he's pitching today.
[13:45] ---
    Safe!
[13:46] ---
    They're a team that should've
    never made it this far in the tournament.
[13:52] ---
    It's clear that he's reached his limit.
[13:55] ---
    It's a matter of time.
[13:58] ---
    Now, we'll return to where
    everyone is, Takumi.
[14:09] ---
    What's this?! A well-hit ball,
    hit between first and second
[14:12] ---
    has hit the foot of the runner!
[14:15] ---
    The runner is called out!
[14:18] ---
    How fortunate for Meisei High School.
[14:24] ---
    It's a matter of time, is it?
[14:43] ---
    You're finally sitting
    down to watch the game.
[14:48] ---
    Over here.
[15:02] ---
    Wh-Wh-What's this?
[15:05] ---
    The first game of the semifinals
    is going to extra innings.
[15:05] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[15:11] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[15:14] ---
    Extra innings? They're
    going to extra innings.
[15:16] ---
    Come on, are you serious?
[15:24] ---
    Maeda. Koga. Play your
    defense a step forward.
[15:27] ---
    I won't let them hit
    anything through the infield.
[15:30] ---
    So don't allow any
    infield hits off weakly hit balls.
[15:33] ---
    Right!
[15:34] ---
    "Toushu Advisor: Yoneyama"
[15:34] ---
    Shouldn't we be changing pitchers?
[15:37] ---
    I've never seen it.
[15:40] ---
    I've never seen Mita look
    so happy heading to the mound.
[15:45] ---
    You're not rooting for
    either side, seated here.
[15:47] ---
    Because I'm a student
    of Meisei Junior High School.
[15:52] ---
    I thought you weren't interested in baseball.
[15:56] ---
    My brother hounds me over and over.
[16:00] ---
    He insisted that I watch this game
[16:03] ---
    because he says it could be
    his last one as a high school student.
[16:08] ---
    Does he have a habit of
    making jokes like that?
[16:12] ---
    Is it a joke?
[16:22] ---
    H-He has just posted his fastest pitch!
[16:27] ---
    How are we supposed
    to score against that monster?
[16:32] ---
    Beats me.
[16:33] ---
    I have absolutely no idea. None.
[16:37] ---
    Yeah, but that's no reason to cry about it.
[16:40] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[16:42] ---
    That every year in front of the TV,
[16:45] ---
    even if the game is
    between teams I don't even know,
[16:48] ---
    no matter how lopsided the score may be,
[16:50] ---
    I would always cry when I heard
    the siren signifying the end of the game?
[16:55] ---
    To see a game like this from this close?
    There's no way I can help it.
[17:00] ---
    But the game's not over yet!
[17:03] ---
    Souichirou.
[17:06] ---
    I'm replacing Touma.
[17:09] ---
    It's all my fault for my lack of preparation.
[17:11] ---
    I was happy being hired for the dream job
    of managing my old high school's team.
[17:14] ---
    So I entered this tournament
    without fully grasping
[17:18] ---
    the personalities and
    characteristics of each player.
[17:21] ---
    I must apologize to the seniors,
[17:24] ---
    but I was focused on putting
    together a competitive team
[17:27] ---
    for next year and the year after.
[17:30] ---
    Sorry.
[17:31] ---
    No, that would be the right plan.
[17:34] ---
    At this rate, we'd only be waiting for
    Touma to eventually break down physically!
[17:40] ---
    Where's Touma?
[17:43] ---
    He's getting warmed up.
[17:46] ---
    But he's past his limit, isn't he?
[17:49] ---
    Yes.
[17:51] ---
    And he has just climbed up to the next level.
[17:55] ---
    Manager.
[17:57] ---
    Please leave him to me.
[18:01] ---
    Touma will not break down yet.
[18:04] ---
    Thanks to Mita raising the bar,
    before we realized it,
[18:09] ---
    he was battling in a place
    that is beyond his limit.
[18:13] ---
    Please trust me.
[18:15] ---
    I will be sure to throw in the towel
    before he breaks down.
[18:20] ---
    One, two, and...
[18:22] ---
    ...three! Strikes...
[18:24] ---
    That's 20!
[18:26] ---
    Monster Hiroki Mita is a force to be feared!
[18:29] ---
    In order to respond to that pitching.
[18:32] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[18:33] ---
    Meisei High School could not score
    in the top of the tenth inning either.
[18:37] ---
    Now, Toushu High School
    batting in the bottom half.
[18:40] ---
    If they score a run, the game ends there.
[18:42] ---
    That will earn them a spot in the final.
[18:45] ---
    After pitching a full nine innings,
    he heads to the mound in the tenth.
[18:49] ---
    Meisei High School's
    tenth grade ace, Touma Tachibana.
[18:53] ---
    Checking through the stats,
[18:55] ---
    it has apparently been three years
[18:58] ---
    since the last time one pitcher kept
    Toushu High School scoreless
[19:00] ---
    through nine innings in an official game.
[19:10] ---
    I'll ask you one more time.
[19:12] ---
    What are the good qualities
    of Pitcher Tachibana?
[19:17] ---
    Well, let me see. His personality, perhaps?
[19:21] ---
    He's said to ignore deadlines and stuff.
[19:24] ---
    Huh?
[19:25] ---
    Now, Touma Tachibana turns and
    calls to his team, as if to encourage himself!
[19:30] ---
    The anime MIX is airing on
    TV right now to a favorable reception!
[19:35] ---
    Are we sure he hasn't already broken down?
[19:39] ---
    Wow. Tachibana also
    posts his fastest pitch today.
[19:43] ---
    But it slightly misses,
    and he has walked the batter.
[19:47] ---
    I don't know if I should be happy or worried.
[19:51] ---
    For now...
[19:53] ---
    ...let's be surprised.
[19:56] ---
    They've had runners on base,
    and they've moved them into scoring position.
[20:02] ---
    However...
[20:08] ---
    Out!
[20:09] ---
    The Meisei battery will
    not allow that next hit.
[20:17] ---
    You're the only one who scored
    runs against me in this tournament.
[20:26] ---
    What's so funny?
[20:28] ---
    Don't you feel anything?
[20:31] ---
    While watching him pitch?
[20:33] ---
    Before he started playing baseball,
    we were always together.
[20:37] ---
    We were known around the
    neighborhood for getting along so well.
[20:41] ---
    Unlike you two.
[20:45] ---
    By the way, is Ryou here,
    cheering for them with the Meisei fans?
[20:50] ---
    The soccer team is at training camp.
    You don't even know that?
[20:55] ---
    All he does is baseball,
    from morning to night.
[20:58] ---
    At first, my parents would tell him to play
    with his younger sister every once in a while.
[21:08] ---
    Another strikeout, darling!
[21:10] ---
    Dear, you need to calm down a little!
[21:12] ---
    --Hiroki! You're doing great!
[21:13] ---
    --Ever since they realized
    his potential, it's as you can see.
    --Hiroki! You're doing great!
[21:18] ---
    And since then, it's,
    "Don't get in the way of his practice!"
[21:21] ---
    or "Don't get into trouble
    and be a burden to him!"
[21:25] ---
    I haven't had the freedom I used to have.
[21:28] ---
    That's why he wants you to watch him.
[21:32] ---
    Hiroki.
[21:38] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[21:40] ---
    This has become one long game, hasn't it?
[21:46] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[21:46] ---
    Well, we are in extra innings.
[23:23] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:24] ---
    We're now in extra innings.
[23:26] ---
    Extra innings can go to the fifteenth inning.
[23:28] ---
    It'll be fine.
[23:28] ---
    Under this blazing sun?
[23:30] ---
    His physical strength has reached its limit!
[23:32] ---
    He'll be fine!
[23:33] ---
    How long is this game going to last?
[23:35] ---
    Don't tell me they'll tie
    and have to play a rematch?
[23:36] ---
    We'll definitely finish this here!
[23:38] ---
    How do you know that?
[23:40] ---
    Yeah!
[23:41] ---
    The reason is...
[23:41] ---
    "Final Episode: Don't You
    Think They're Alike?"
[23:42] ---
    Next is the final episode--
[23:44] ---
    "Don't You Think They're Alike?"
[23:45] ---
    --I see.
    --I see.

    In our next life, I'll make sure

    We'll be childhood friends.
[00:41] ---
    It's been 30 years.
[00:44] ---
    Time goes by so quickly.
[00:46] ---
    How could you say that?!
[00:48] ---
    The first game is taking forever!
[00:51] ---
    How much longer are they going to make us wait?!
[00:56] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:59] ---
    The Meisei baseball team that became champions
[01:02] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:05] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:08] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:11] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:13] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[01:34] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     *    *
[01:40] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     *    *
[01:46] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     *    *
[01:52] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     *    *
[01:58] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     *    *
[02:04] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     *    *
[02:13] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     *    *
[02:19] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     *    *
[02:26] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     *    *
[02:32] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too
     *    *
[02:58] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[02:58] ---
    Who were you planning to have pitch?
[03:02] ---
    To replace Touma.
[03:07] ---
    You're asking someone to
    suddenly enter this nail-biting game,
[03:10] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[03:11] ---
    not to mention he must face
    the powerful Toushu lineup.
[03:14] ---
    Forget our team, you'll have trouble
    finding anyone nationwide who can do that.
[03:19] ---
    Yeah.
[03:20] ---
    Whether they score or not,
[03:23] ---
    the moment I take Touma out of this game,
    the game is as good as over.
[03:27] ---
    And who was going to be
    stuck doing the dirty work
[03:30] ---
    and be the one responsible for losing the game?
[03:33] ---
    Dirty work, you say.
[03:37] ---
    "Don't You Think They're Alike?"
[03:42] ---
    A long, long time ago, at Jingu Stadium...
[03:43] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Stadium"
[03:45] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Eishin"
[03:46] ---
    No, I can't do it. It's impossible.
[03:51] ---
    Touma, Souichirou and
    Otomi's dad, Eisuke Tachibana.
[03:56] ---
    "Relief Pitcher: Tachibana (Father)"
    "Grade Twelve"
[03:58] ---
    At the time, he was a high school senior
    and a member of the Meisei baseball team.
[04:01] ---
    Don't worry, Eisuke.
[04:04] ---
    Every single person watching
    the game is thinking the same.
[04:06] ---
    "Catcher: Ooyama (Father)"
    "Grade Twelve"
[04:08] ---
    The current Meisei baseball
    team manager, Gorou Ooyama.
[04:12] ---
    He was also a senior at the time.
[04:15] ---
    They all think the outcome of this game
[04:18] ---
    was a foregone conclusion
    the moment Sawai got injured.
[04:21] ---
    No one will be surprised if you get hit,
    and no one will blame you.
[04:26] ---
    I can't imagine an outing with less stress.
[04:30] ---
    You're right.
[04:33] ---
    You're right! You're right!
[04:36] ---
    There's not a single person
    who's counting on me!
[04:40] ---
    All right, all right. OK, OK!
[04:44] ---
    That's it, Tachibana.
[04:47] ---
    That's the weapon you have,
    that Sawai doesn't have.
[04:51] ---
    You're right.
[04:54] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament, quarterfinals.
[04:58] ---
    After pitching two straight shutouts,
[05:01] ---
    in this game as well,
    Meisei's number 1 pitcher had thus far
[05:04] ---
    limited the opponent to only
    two hits through seven innings.
[05:07] ---
    Keiichi Sawai, in tenth grade.
[05:09] ---
    "Pitcher: Keiichi Sawai"
    "Grade Ten"
[05:10] ---
    Souichirou and Otomi's biological father.
[05:14] ---
    While getting the third out
    in the seventh inning,
[05:18] ---
    Sawai, covering first base,
    crossed paths with the runner.
[05:23] ---
    He had his pitching hand spiked
    and was immediately sent to the hospital.
[05:28] ---
    As the team was about ready to give up,
[05:31] ---
    uniform number 12
    was suddenly sent in to pitch.
[05:35] ---
    It wasn't only the teammates
    who were disturbed after the accident.
[05:40] ---
    The guilt of greatly injuring the opponent's
[05:42] ---
    practically flawless ace pitcher
[05:47] ---
    weighed heavily on the batters' fighting spirit,
[05:49] ---
    affecting the concentration of the batters.
[05:52] ---
    On the other hand, pitches that were
    thrown with every intention of being hit
[05:57] ---
    would prove to be sharper than usual.
[06:00] ---
    As a result...
[06:03] ---
    Of course, the one most surprised
    was the one wearing number 12.
[06:08] ---
    And then...
[06:12] ---
    Top of the ninth inning, a run is
    scored on an error by the opponent.
[06:16] ---
    This gave him the chance
    to be the winning pitcher.
[06:20] ---
    This ignited the dugout and crowd
    who earlier were feeling down.
[06:25] ---
    Naturally, the opponents
    who gave up the lead
[06:28] ---
    and found themselves on the verge
    of defeat focused only on the game.
[06:31] ---
    And uniform number 12,
    who had misunderstood the situation,
[06:35] ---
    became very nervous, thinking
    only of not wanting to give up a hit.
[06:48] ---
    That uniform number 12 fool. If only I'd...
[06:51] ---
    "Former Pitcher: Eisuke Tachibana (43 years old)"
[06:52] ---
    Eisuke Tachibana, currently 43 years old.
[06:56] ---
    You've been annoying me
    with all that talking to yourself!
[06:59] ---
    I'm having trouble focusing on the game!
[07:02] ---
    Oh. Sorry about that.
[07:06] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[07:06] ---
    Am I just imagining it?
[07:09] ---
    His pitching seems even better
    since we entered extra innings.
[07:12] ---
    No, that can't be right.
[07:15] ---
    Yeah!
[07:17] ---
    When one becomes too confident,
    that's when one becomes careless, Touma.
[07:22] ---
    Am I just imagining it?
[07:25] ---
    Right now, I can't imagine anyone
    getting a hit off of me, Souichirou.
[07:29] ---
    Don't get carried away.
[07:32] ---
    You're being helped by hitters who are
    swinging at balls out of the strike zone.
[07:35] ---
    It's the panic of a team who
    is used to scoring a lot of runs.
[07:38] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[07:39] ---
    They come close to scoring but fail to do so,
[07:41] ---
    and this continues inning after inning,
    until we finally reach extra innings.
[07:46] ---
    Most batters end up having their swing
    disrupted in this most unexpected development.
[07:52] ---
    Although I'm purposely calling
    the pitches with that in mind.
[07:56] ---
    You're right. I see. That does make sense.
[08:00] ---
    I couldn't figure it out.
[08:02] ---
    Here I am, absolutely exhausted, and yet...
[08:06] ---
    How obedient of you, Touma.
[08:08] ---
    There are no mistakes in what Souichirou says.
[08:12] ---
    When it comes to baseball, that is.
[08:14] ---
    You're not mistaken. But...
[08:18] ---
    That's not everything, is it?
[08:21] ---
    Yes.
[08:23] ---
    But it would be a mistake
    to flatter him during the game.
[08:27] ---
    There are no mistakes in what Souichirou says.
[08:32] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament, semifinals, game one.
[08:35] ---
    In this match between Meisei and Toushu,
    after 12 innings, it's still a scoreless tie.
[08:40] ---
    Extra innings will be played until the 15th inning.
    Will we have a winner before that?
[08:44] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[08:45] ---
    Or will the game end in a tie,
    which will result in a rematch?
[08:48] ---
    While Toushu was up, we did see
    batters being overly aggressive,
[08:52] ---
    and swinging at bad pitches.
[08:55] ---
    Is this a sign that the
    Toushu lineup is starting to panic?
[09:00] ---
    Mr. Hyouri?
[09:02] ---
    What are you looking at?
[09:04] ---
    Ah, well...
[09:06] ---
    It's about pitcher
    Tachibana's pitching moments ago.
[09:11] ---
    Is he this kind of pitcher?
[09:13] ---
    Huh?
[09:15] ---
    As I pointed out before the game,
[09:18] ---
    in this tournament, together with
    pitcher Nishimura of Seinan High School,
[09:21] ---
    --while only in tenth grade--
    --I already know that!
[09:40] ---
    Shouldn't he be seated and
    get whatever rest he can get?
[09:43] ---
    Don't get in the way of his work.
[09:46] ---
    Work?
[09:48] ---
    That guy is a thief.
[09:51] ---
    Huh?
[09:56] ---
    Here. Take a look at this.
[09:58] ---
    This is how Tachibana pitched
    at the start of the game.
[10:02] ---
    Oh?
[10:03] ---
    A wonderful start, striking out the side.
[10:07] ---
    I wonder.
[10:08] ---
    It was more like someone recklessly
    throwing as hard as he can.
[10:13] ---
    There were some innings
    where he focused more on control,
[10:15] ---
    but even then he burdened
    himself unnecessarily.
[10:18] ---
    Not the form of a pitcher
    who could last a full nine innings.
[10:22] ---
    But then...
[10:24] ---
    In the late innings and extra innings
    when he had to be the most exhausted,
[10:27] ---
    and the last inning...
[10:29] ---
    How do you explain this?
[10:32] ---
    Well, you'll have to be more specific.
[10:34] ---
    Can't you tell from this?!
[10:37] ---
    This is the ideal form of a pitcher
    who will throw a complete game shutout.
[10:41] ---
    A mirror image of his form,
[10:44] ---
    and you practically have Mita.
[11:22] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[11:29] ---
    You have it wrong.
[11:33] ---
    Foul!
[11:34] ---
    The ball he hit barely rolls foul.
[11:41] ---
    That's right.
[11:45] ---
    Much better.
[11:47] ---
    Since when did you become
    Meisei's pitching coach?
[11:50] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[11:52] ---
    It's simply my love for baseball.
[11:57] ---
    Do not worry.
[11:59] ---
    There's still a big gap
    between our skill levels.
[12:03] ---
    Unfortunately, I am worried.
[12:06] ---
    Because Toushu will
    no longer have you next year.
[12:21] ---
    Mita.
[12:23] ---
    Should this end in a tie and rematch,
[12:26] ---
    if possible, please have someone else pitch.
[12:29] ---
    A tie and rematch?
[12:33] ---
    It's no longer something to joke about.
[12:36] ---
    The best he could do is pop it up.
[12:38] ---
    Fukabori, playing first, takes a
    few steps forward to catch it. Three outs.
[12:43] ---
    Hiroki Mita has not allowed a single runner
    on base since the beginning of extra innings.
[12:48] ---
    He's been perfect. He truly is a monster.
[12:52] ---
    Without a doubt, this game would be rated
[12:55] ---
    the best game Hiroki Mita
    has ever pitched in high school.
[12:58] ---
    He's sending you a message,
    challenging you to catch up to him.
[13:02] ---
    No.
[13:04] ---
    I'm not the one he really wants
    to show this to. I think.
[13:09] ---
    Aren't you going to watch it to the end?
[13:11] ---
    I've reached my limit.
[13:13] ---
    I endured this because I thought
    it would be over in nine innings.
[13:18] ---
    What? You need to pee?
[13:21] ---
    Are you really brothers with the other Akai?
[13:25] ---
    Yeah, we're brothers.
    Although we're not related by blood.
[13:29] ---
    That pattern again?
[13:32] ---
    What do you mean by that?
[13:33] ---
    So you're the same as that battery.
[13:38] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[14:07] ---
    Runners on the corners with only one out.
[14:09] ---
    Bottom of the 14th, Toushu with
    a great chance to end this game.
[14:13] ---
    After the first out, the shortstop was
    late covering a ball hit straight to him.
[14:17] ---
    Followed by some poor defense
    when the right fielder misjudged the ball.
[14:21] ---
    Meisei High School now finds itself in a jam.
[14:24] ---
    One cannot help but
    feel sorry for the pitcher...
[14:28] ---
    Huh?
[14:29] ---
    This scene...
[14:31] ---
    Oh, excuse me.
[14:33] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Toushu"
[14:33] ---
    One cannot help but feel sorry
    for the pitcher Tachibana.
[14:38] ---
    I agree.
[14:39] ---
    Meisei High School is in a desperate situation.
[14:42] ---
    He's been able to shut us down,
    even with that defense behind him.
[14:47] ---
    That pitcher.
[14:49] ---
    Please praise him in
    your victory interview, manager.
[14:53] ---
    Yeah. I'll do that.
[14:57] ---
    Kaga, batting third,
    hits for the fences on the first pitch.
[15:00] ---
    He's looking great! He looks
    to have figured out the timing.
[15:07] ---
    A squeeze bunt?
[15:09] ---
    Don't be ridiculous. That's our cleanup hitter.
[15:13] ---
    We'll crush him and...
[15:17] ---
    Huh?
[15:18] ---
    I know this scene from somewhere.
[15:26] ---
    W-Wait one moment!
[15:33] ---
    Kaga hits it square!
[15:35] ---
    The bat makes a loud noise, and the ball...
[15:40] ---
    ...finds its way into Tachibana's glove again!
[15:43] ---
    And the third base runner
    is caught off base again!
[15:46] ---
    So lucky.
[15:47] ---
    A line out to the pitcher for two outs!
[15:50] ---
    And...

[17:01] ---
    It's been a while.
[17:10] ---

[17:13] ---
    Now, the time has come
    to crown the champion
[17:17] ---
    from among the 3,647 participating high schools.
[17:20] ---
    Touma. I'm preparing dinner.
[17:25] ---
    The rolled omelet came out well,
    so we'll share it with your mother.
[17:39] ---
    It picks up speed here.
[17:41] ---
    This is Meisei High School's
    Tatsuya Uesugi's fastball!
[17:46] ---
    We'll continue watching this after dinner.
[18:12] ---
    It's not at all the same, is it?
[18:15] ---
    It's as different as night and day.
[18:18] ---
    How dare you insult me!
[18:20] ---
    You've been nothing but annoying,
    the father and son over there!
[19:34] ---
    Oh, you're awake, Touma Dear.
[19:37] ---
    See that? You wouldn't eat quietly,
    Otomi, so he woke up.
[19:42] ---
    Huh? My fault?
[19:44] ---
    You can continue sleeping.
    There's none for you.
[19:47] ---
    He's lying. Yours is in the fridge, Tou.
[19:52] ---
    What happened to the video?
[19:53] ---
    I stopped it for you.
[19:55] ---
    You'd better copy it onto something before
    the tape is ruined from playing it too often.
[20:00] ---
    Oh.
[20:02] ---
    Here. Hurry and eat it,
[20:04] ---
    because we really don't have any for Dad.
[20:07] ---
    He'll be fine.
[20:09] ---
    Your dad will be happy as long
    as he has snacks to go with his beer.
[20:14] ---
    Dad's been watching
    that every day since we lost.
[20:19] ---
    Together with our dad. Right?
[20:32] ---
    "Punch"
[20:35] ---
    In any case, we'll need to entrust those
    two with the countless disappointments
[20:41] ---
    and hopes of the former baseball team
    members and have them do their best.
[20:46] ---
    Right, Sawai?
[20:49] ---
    Come out, Tatsuya Uesugi!
[20:52] ---
    Time to be national champions again,
    Meisei High School!
[20:57] ---
    Don't you think he kind of
    looks like Touma, Mayumi?
[21:06] ---
    What's wrong?
[21:08] ---
    What's wrong?! The tape!
[21:11] ---
    The all-important tape broke!
[21:14] ---
    What's with all the commotion?
[21:18] ---
    I've copied the contents onto a DVD disc
    long ago, so there's no need to worry.
[21:23] ---
    Please give Dad that message.
[21:27] ---
    What did she say?
[21:29] ---
    Otomi said something, right?
[21:33] ---
    "Taking a bath
    Do not peek!"
[21:33] ---
    She did say something.
[21:36] ---
    "Punch"

[04:51] Nishimura
    Hiroki Mita only pitched the last inning.
    Who wants to play a final against relievers?
[04:57] Touma
    Still, Toushu's something else. Even their
    #2 and #3 pitchers are on another level.
[05:02] Nishimura
    Exactly!
[05:04] Nishimura
    They coulda run those guys in
    the semifinal against Meisei!
[05:09] Nishimura
    So why...
[05:11] Nishimura
    Why'd they have their ace pitching
    instead? And all 14 innings at that!
[05:15] Touma
    How should I know?
[05:17] Nishimura
    I'd have pitched way better

    for making sure Hiroki Mita couldn't start.
[05:34] Nishimura
    How was I supposed to give 
    my all in a match like that?!

    You sure can run your mouth

    Seriously, do you know what time it is?!
[06:29] Souichirou
    More club hopefuls?
[06:34] Haruka
    You're here early. I thought
    practice wasn't until this afternoon.
[06:37] Souichirou
    I saw you pulling weeds
    from our balcony at home.
[06:43] Haruka
    Just trying to make up for the time I spent
    doing basically nothing with a broken arm.
[06:48] Souichirou
    You going back to the
    rhythmic gymnastics club?
[06:51] Haruka
    I dunno. The advisor had these
    weirdly high expectations for me.
[06:58] Souichirou
    Nothing weird about
    those high expectations.
[07:02] Haruka
    Well, either way, it's nothing to worry about.
[07:06] Haruka
    We've got plenty of
    female caretaker applicants.
[07:09] Souichirou
    A bunch of trend chasers who don't
    know the first thing about baseball,
[07:13] Souichirou
    but wanna join because
    of all the coverage, yeah?
[07:15] Haruka
    Don't underestimate
    modern baseball fangirls.
[07:19] Haruka
    It's the boys that are the bigger problem.
[07:22] Haruka
    Because the team got such huge
    press coverage lots of days in a row,
[07:26] Haruka
    we've got a bunch of shallow guys applying
[07:28] Haruka
    in the hopes that joining Meisei's
    baseball team will get them girls.
[07:33] Souichirou
    Yup, that's a rogues' gallery of
     shallow guys from each class.
[07:37] Haruka
    Besides, anyone who's spent the year up to now
     bumming around instead of joining a club
[07:41] Haruka
    is unlikely to be of any help to the team.
[07:44] Souichirou
    There's one guy here who
    doesn't fit that description.

    Sou and Haruka meeting up
     on the baseball field?
[08:01] Otomi
    Yes, I see.
[08:03] Otomi
    That's why he was in such a rush
    to get dressed and go out earlier.
[08:08] Otomi
    He might just be serious about this one.
[08:11] Touma
    He's just skirt-chasing like always.
[08:15] Otomi
    But he's been turning down invitations
    from all his other lady-friends lately.
[08:20] Touma
    Of course he has.
[08:22] Touma
    He's been busy with tournament stuff.
[08:26] Nishimura
    Hey, can I borrow those?
[08:28] Otomi
    Oh, uh, sure.
[08:30] Nishimura
    Let's have a look.
[08:34] Nishimura
    Huh?
[08:35] Nishimura
    Isn't that your girlfriend?
[08:42] Nishimura
    Yeah, our Seinan bus picked you guys up
     while you were on a date that time, right?
[08:47] Touma
    Like I said, we were just out on a walk
    and hit a run of bad luck.
[08:52] Otomi
    A love triangle involving the beautiful
    team caretaker and the sibling battery...
[08:57] Touma
    The phone's ringing, Otomi.
[08:59] Otomi
    Yeah, yeah.
[09:02] Otomi
    Hello?
[09:05] Otomi
    Oh? Mom?
[09:10] Otomi
    What?
[09:12] Otomi
    Right.
[09:15] Otomi
    Okay. Got it.
[09:17] Otomi
    See you.
[09:20] Touma
    What's up?
[09:23] Otomi
    Mom was in a traffic accident.
[09:25] Otomi
    She's gonna be at the hospital for a while,
    so she said we have to handle our own lunch.
[09:30] Touma
    A traffic accident?
[09:32] Otomi
    Yeah, but it didn't sound too serious.
[09:35] Otomi
    She sounded upbeat.
[09:37] Nishimura
    Don't underestimate traffic accidents.
[09:40] Nishimura
    Do you know what hospital she's at?
[09:42] Otomi
    Yeah.
[09:44] Nishimura
    You should go there right away.
[09:46] Otomi
    Oh, but she said it wasn't serious
    and that we shouldn't worry.
[09:50] Nishimura
    Five years ago, my aunt said
    it wasn't serious and came home,
[09:53] Nishimura
    then died suddenly the next day.
[09:56] Nishimura
    You can get hit in places and not know
    anything's wrong. So when in a traffic accident...
[10:01] Nishimura
    you should get a full run of tests!
[10:04] Nishimura
    Get to the hospital, both of you!
[10:05] Otomi
    Oh, but we're waiting for a package...
[10:09] Nishimura
    I'll take care of that for you!
[10:12] Nishimura
    Just get going!
[10:19] Touma
    Jeez...
[10:21] Touma
    Okay, fine.
[10:23] Touma
    Don't worry, Otomi.
[10:25] Touma
    He's Seinan's ace and
    the son of their manager.
[10:28] Touma
    Any funny business and it's a real
    life-or-death problem for their team.
[10:32] Nishimura
    What do you mean, "funny business"?
[10:34] Touma
    Oh, I'm just saying we can definitely
    trust you to watch the house.
[10:38] Nishimura
    Glad you see that.
[10:40] Touma
    But, Otomi, you should lock your room,
     just to be on the safe side.
[10:44] Otomi
    Right.
[10:44] Nishimura
    What do you mean, "on the safe side"?!
[10:50] Otomi
    Should we let Sou know?
[10:52] Touma
    Nah, we can check up on her first.

    We're only playing along since

SIGN    Meisei's Near Revival!
SIGN    Some watching the Meisei High School team—
    especially first-year pitcher, Touma Tachibana—
    found themselves reminded of the intense battles 
    thirty years ago. In the semifinals, Meisei faced 
    Toushu High led by their indomitable ace, Mita. 
    Before the game, common wisdom suggested
    it would be a guaranteed victory for Toushu; 
    that Meisei's record meant the path to a win 
    for them was nigh-on impossible. But that belief 
    was upended the moment the match started. 
    In the bottom of the first, Meisei's ace, 
    Tachibana (Touma), struck out the side...
[11:37] Narrator
    And this is the Tachibana family
    patriarch, Eisuke Tachibana.
SIGN    Eisuke Tachibana
[11:40] Eisuke
    Oh, hello! I'm Touma's father.
[11:43] Narrator
    Both widowed, Eisuke and
    Mayumi remarried each other
[11:47] Narrator
    to form a blended family
    with their children.
[11:50] Narrator
    The result is the thing
    everyone's got their eye on:
[11:53] Narrator
    Meisei's battery of brothers.
SIGN    Tanba Hospital
[11:58] Narrator
    Now then, back to our story.
[12:02] Touma
    Darn it.
[12:06] Nishiki
    Hey.
[12:09] Touma
    Nishiki?
[12:11] Touma
    What happened to you?
[12:14] Nishiki
    Lost my footing on some
     stone steps up to a shrine.
[12:18] Touma
    You okay?

    And in the semifinals,
    you lost in a 14-inning shutout!

    I know you were facing Mita and all,
     but you never even got close to scoring!
[18:30] Imagawa
    Can't really argue with that.

    But next time, you can expect to

    What I'm saying is you should've
     done this, and this, and that...
[13:57] Koma
    Is that old guy okay?
[14:00] Koma
    He's ignoring his own lapses in judgment
    and shifting the blame onto everyone else.
[14:04] Koma
    We won't make it to Koshien
    with a manager like that.
[14:10] Nangou
    How dare you badmouth our manager!
[14:16] Koma
    Get your dirty face away from me!
[14:21] Ooyama
    What are you doing? Stop that right now.
[14:24] Koma
    He just grabbed my uniform for no reason.
[14:28] Ooyama
    Were you badmouthing me?
[14:29] Koma
    Oh, um... You heard that?
[14:32] Ooyama
    Nangou.
[14:34] Ooyama
    Don't make me say it again.
[14:36] Ooyama
    I'm not the great man or the
    great manager you take me for.
[14:41] Koma
    See?
[14:43] Ooyama
    Not yet.
[14:45] Koma
    Your nose is running, Manager.
[14:48] Ooyama
    It's because of this sudden cold snap.
    I've been under the weather since yesterday.
[14:55] Ooyama
    Imagawa!
[14:57] Ooyama
    Follow this training regimen for now.
[15:00] Ooyama
    I'm feeling feverish,
    so I'm heading home to rest.
[15:03] Imagawa
    Take care.
[15:07] Koma
    If the school is serious
    about getting to Koshien,
[15:11] Koma
    they need to find us a proper manager.
[15:18] Koma
    What is it now, you big jerk?!
[15:18] Nishiki
    Should I break it up?
[15:20] Touma
    Nah. If you step in,
     it'll just make things worse.
[15:20] Nangou
    I told you not to badmouth him!
[15:23] Koma
    And I don't care!
[15:24] Touma
    Anyway, don't worry.
    They're just messing around.
[15:25] Nangou
    What did you say?!
[15:31] Imagawa
    This notebook is amazing.
[15:35] Imagawa
    It has details on every single club member,
[15:38] Imagawa
    and a custom training regimen for each.
[15:44] Imagawa
    Could it be... that he's actually...
[15:48] Souichirou
    I believed in him from the start.
[15:52] Imagawa
    Liar.
[15:54] Souichirou
    He might have fallen on the leanest of times,
[15:57] Souichirou
    but he's still Haruka's father.
[16:04] Imagawa
    Nothing "lean" about him.
[16:30] Haruka
    It's pretty lonely in here

[17:16] Otomi
    I read your Team Gessan series!
[17:18] Otomi
    It was great!
[17:20] Tsukikage
    That's unusual. Children your age
    rarely read novels these days.
[17:25] Mayumi
    This is perfect, though.
[17:26] Mayumi
    Otomi, you know more about baseball
    and your brothers than I do.
[17:30] Mayumi
    Help her with her story, would you?
[17:32] Otomi
    Story?
[17:33] Editor
    She will be writing a short story
    about high school baseball.
[17:39] Otomi
    Then, you should talk to Coach Ooya—
[17:41] Tsukikage
    I have little interest
    in an old man's stories.
[17:44] Tsukikage
    My inspiration for taking on this assignment
[17:46] Tsukikage
    is that I think modeling it on your brothers
     could lead to something interesting.
[17:52] Otomi
    I'm surprised you want to
    write about sports, though.
[17:55] Editor
    It's a sign of Ms. Tsukikage's superlative
     talent! She can write any genre!
[18:01] Tsukikage
    You're my editor.
    You're supposed to be more critical.
[18:04] Editor
    R-Right.
[18:06] Otomi
    So what's the hardest genre to write?
[18:09] Tsukikage
    Let's see...
[18:12] Tsukikage
    Romcoms, perhaps.
[18:16] Tsukikage
    It seems like anyone should be able to write
     them, but they're actually quite complex.
[18:21] Tsukikage
    It's a miracle to see any writer
    last for decades writing romcoms.
[18:25] Tsukikage
    I truly admire people like that.
[18:27] Tsukikage
    From the depths of my heart.
[18:30] Tsukikage
    Yet if their stories are even a little similar,
     people say they have a "formula,"
[18:35] Tsukikage
    or their characters are all the same.
[18:37] Tsukikage
    They'll nitpick the writer to death,
    even though they're dead wrong!
[18:40] Mayumi
    Excuse me...
[18:42] Mayumi
    I'm not sure who's on the line,

[18:01] Touma
    An annoying last request, huh?
[18:15] Natsuno
    Not as easy to hit as those dead
    balls in the batting cage, huh?
[18:18] Natsuno
    You don't know the pitch type
    and the speed beforehand, either!
[18:23] Natsuno
    Too bad, baby boy Akai!
[18:25] Ooyama
    Natsuno! This is batting practice!
[18:28] Natsuno
    Right!
[18:29] Natsuno
    Here comes an outside slider!
[18:33] Touma
    An inside fastball?
[18:37] Natsuno
    An outside fastball!
[18:39] Souichirou
    A forkball.
[18:43] Haruka
    He's clearly reading the man, not the ball.
[18:47] Touma
    Not surprising when the man's
    that transparent and predictable.
[18:50] Souichirou
    But...
[18:51] Souichirou
    He's skilled enough that hits shouldn't
    be that easy, even if you can read him.
[18:58] (Flashback) Tomohito
    I vouch for his skill.
[19:02] Touma
    So how does the manager want to use him?
[19:06] Haruka
    Center field and lead-off, he said.
[19:09] Haruka
    He's got speed and strength.
[19:12] Touma
    C'mon now. Even then, it seems a little soon.
[19:15] Souichirou
    No, it might do the trick.
[19:18] Souichirou
    Though, I guess it's more a sign
    of the shallow talent pool
[19:21] Souichirou
    versus what you'd get
    at a more famous school.
[19:24] Haruka
    Exactly.
[19:27] Haruka
    Which means no one's allowed to get hurt.
[19:30] Haruka
    I'll be running strict checks
    on everyone's condition.
[19:34] Touma & Souichirou
    Yes, ma'am.
[19:37] Touma & Souichirou
    Huh?
[19:39] Yoshiko
    Otomi.
[19:42] Yoshiko
    Where's the rhythmic gymnastics club?
[19:46] Tennis Club A
    Oh, didn't you hear?
[19:49] Tennis Club A
    The rhythmic gymnastics club shut down.
[19:52] Otomi
    Shut down?
[19:53] Tennis Club B
    They already had barely enough members,
[19:56] Tennis Club B
    and they apparently couldn't
    get any new ones this year.
[20:02] (Flashback) Haruka
    Actually, never mind.
[20:07] Otomi
    Huh?
[20:18] Souichirou
    Center field and lead-off.
[20:20] Touma
    Not bad.
[20:35] Otomi
    Akai was very vivacious today.
[20:38] Otomi
    He looked good in that uniform,
    and I think his expression's changed, too.
[20:44] Otomi
    Did he always look that handsome?
[20:46] Otomi
    Wow, I'm seeing him in a whole new light.
[20:49] Souichirou
    You heard her.
[20:51] Touma
    Seems fine to me.

    but the people in the neighborhood told me
     it was renovated just over ten years ago.
[20:30] Mayumi
    Do you have memories of Meisei High School?
[20:35] Harada
    I'm not really sure,

    A practice game between Meisei High

[01:40] Narrator
    Another run for Meisei.
[01:47] Narrator
    It's the top of the fifth. Kaiou Nishi to bat.

SIGN    Kaiou Nishi Manager
[02:14] Haruka
    The other team's manager is on the line.
[02:17] Haruka
    He says, "How long are
    you gonna let him pitch?"
[02:21] Ooyama
    How dare you ask me that?!
[02:22] Ooyama
    It was you who got mad at me for resting 
    Touma in last summer's quarterfinals,
[02:26] Ooyama
    and insisted on an honest,
     no-holds-barred duel today!
[02:29] Ooyama
    You can't just back out now!
[02:33] Haruka
    He hung up.
[02:36] Umpire
    Strike! Out!
[02:38] Ooyama
    In your face.
[02:40] Haruka
    Still, on top of all the strikeouts,
    he's had five infield outs.
[02:43] Haruka
    Not a single ball has
    made it into the outfield.
[02:46] Ooyama
    That's because of that
    idiotic manager's stupid pride.
[02:49] Ooyama
    His lineup could be good
     if they played with freedom,
[02:52] Ooyama
    but he's putting unnecessary pressure on them.
[02:54] Ooyama
    Trying not to piss him off,
    they're getting all tense and panicking.
[02:57] Ooyama
    And Souichirou's game-calling
    is toying with them.
[03:01] Haruka
    He must be pretty upset
    about last year's loss, huh?
[03:04] Ooyama
    Yeah.
[03:06] Ooyama
    We were resting our ace pitcher, and went
    into the bottom of the ninth three down,
[03:09] Ooyama
    when their ace pitcher pulled a 
    muscle and gifted us the walkoff.
[03:13] Ooyama
    As the manager of a prestigious team,
    it must've been humiliating.
[03:16] Ooyama
    Not that it's my problem.
[03:21] Haruka
    Hello?

    Hey, lay off!
[04:08] Harada
    Ma'am, do you have a baseball glove?
[04:10] Mayumi
    Oh, the house is full of them.
[04:14] Harada
    Can you play catch?
[04:17] Nishimura
    Uh, pardon? Who do you
    think you're talking to?
[04:21] Nishimura
    I'm Takumi Nishimura,

[05:36] Narrator
    Reliever: Natsuno, tenth grade.
[05:39] Narrator
    After getting one out,
    he's given up a series of walks.
[05:43] Souichirou
    Like I told you last inning,
    don't let so many runners on base.
[05:48] Souichirou
    You're being too calculating.
[05:50] Souichirou
    Your pitches are sharp today.
    You don't have to paint the corners.
[05:54] Souichirou
    They won't get any long hits,
     so go aggressive.
[05:57] Natsuno
    I don't want short ones, either.
[05:59] Natsuno
    We're on a no-hitter here.
[06:03] Souichirou
    Listen, man.
    No one's expecting that from you.
[06:06] Souichirou
    What's a combined no-hitter matter in
     a practice game? It won't be made official.
[06:12] Natsuno
    It will be. In my memory.
[06:15] Natsuno
    And...
[06:17] Natsuno
    I'm sure it'd make Otomi happy if I did.
[06:25] Souichirou
    Fine. Paint the corners.
[06:28] Souichirou
    But if anyone gets a hit, I'm talking to
    the manager and getting you swapped out.
[06:33] Natsuno
    Right!
[06:35] Ooyama
    What do you think of that number two pitcher?
[06:39] Touma
    His face seems easy to draw.
[06:42] Ooyama
    Hm?
[06:42] Touma
    Oh, nothing.
[06:43] Touma
    Seems the batters are more
    relaxed than when facing me,
[06:46] Touma
    and they can see the pitches a bit easier.
[06:49] Ooyama
    Well, he is a first-year pitcher 
    with no accomplishments to his name.
[06:53] Touma
    This lineup might get pretty crazy, then.

    How was that?

    The lottery.
[18:12] Masaki
    Again?
[18:14] Masaki
    Huh? He really did.
[18:17] Masaki
    Ah, come on in!
[18:27] Masaki
    See?! Your face drove those customers away!
[18:31] Harada
    That's just an excuse. They confused it
    for a ramen place. That's why they left.
[18:36] Masaki
    Darn it.
[18:38] Harada
    Give me my lottery ticket back.

    It's Harada.
[18:49] Underling
    Harada?
[18:50] Takayasu
    Yeah, no question.
[18:52] Takayasu
    So the louse was in Japan, huh?
[18:55] Underling
    Who is he?
[18:57] Takayasu
    Shohei Harada, damn it!
[18:59] Takayasu
    Back in school,
    he made my life a living hell.
[19:04] Underling
    Got it! Let's call him out here
    and give him a whooping!
[19:08] Takayasu
    I-Idiot! That's the Shohei Harada!
[19:11] Underling
    Okay, but I don't actually know who that is.
[19:14] Takayasu
    Hang on.
[19:15] Takayasu
    I'll call in my old gang.
[19:18] Takayasu
    There're plenty of guys who
    have a bone to pick with him.
[19:21] Takayasu
    Even he doesn't stand a
    chance if there's ten of us.
[19:23] Underling
    Ten against one? That doesn't seem fair.
[19:26] Takayasu
    Idiot! This is the Shohei 
    Harada we're talking about!
[19:29] Underling

[00:11] Komiyama
    How do we feel about a practice match?
[00:15] Komiyama
    Against Meisei High.
[00:19] Tomohito
    You're interested in them?
SIGN    Kenjo High School
[00:21] Komiyama
    Yeah.
[00:23] Teramoto
    Seinan's wanted a practice match
    for ages. Won't that make them mad?
[00:28] Komiyama
    I don't need to test Seinan to
    know what their team can do.
[00:34] Komiyama
    Or that they're a formidable opponent.
[00:37] Komiyama
    Meisei's the unpredictable one.
[00:39] Komiyama
    Their potential is unsettling.
[00:42] Komiyama
    One or two players taking the next step
    could make a huge difference for them.
[00:47] Komiyama
    And I want to see your
    little brother in action.
[00:51] Teramoto
    But this might help them out.
[00:54] Komiyama
    Oh, it won't.
[00:56] Komiyama
    What it comes down to is how we beat them.
[01:01] Komiyama
    Instead of letting their team develop
    on its own until the summer,
[01:04] Komiyama
    we hit them hard now
    and cut them off at the knees.
[01:08] Komiyama
    Including your little brother, of course.
[01:13] Tomohito
    You're worrying too much.
[01:15] Komiyama
    Am I?
[01:17] Komiyama
    Not as much as you, I'd say.
[01:23] Komiyama
    Point is, that manager's getting a little
     too ambitious and excited for my liking.
[01:30] Komiyama
    I say he needs a cold, hard dose of reality.
[01:35] Komiyama
    Let him get too big for his britches
     and he could be a real problem.
[01:41] Imagawa
    He drinks and he dances,
    he sings and he fights,
[01:44] Imagawa
    yet he never reflects
    on the trouble he causes:
[01:46] Imagawa
    Gorou Ooyama has arrived.
[01:49] Imagawa
    Let all who know fear flee in his presence.
[01:52] Imagawa
    I bet he said something like that.
[01:55] Ooyama
    You just made up that last part!
[01:59] Souichirou
    So what do we do?
[02:02] Ooyama
    What do you think we do?
[02:04] Ooyama
    Turn him down.
[02:06] Ooyama
    Unsettling them is a good thing.
[02:09] Ooyama
    Why reveal ourselves and
    set their minds at ease?
[02:12] Ooyama
    Ghosts are only scary when they're invisible.
[02:16] Ooyama
    Why should the underdog show
    their hand before the tournament?
[02:20] Ooyama
    I'm right, yeah? Any objections?
[02:24] Touma
    Sounds fine to me.
[02:26] Touma
    It's very you.
[02:28] Ooyama
    What do you mean by that?
[02:35] Haruka
    So we're set for 2 pm on Saturday.
     That's three days from now.
[02:45] Ooyama
    For what?
[02:47] Haruka
    Huh? The practice match with Kenjo High.
[02:51] Ooyama
    What?
[02:53] Ooyama
    But I sent them a fax turning them down!
[02:56] Haruka
    Turning them down?
[02:58] Ooyama
    I wrote a big X on it!
[03:01] Haruka
    This?
[03:03] Ooyama
    Yeah, that's the one.
[03:06] Ooyama
    It says it right here, see?
[03:09] Ooyama
    "If you accept our offer of
    a practice match, put an X."
SIGN    Practice Match Proposal
SIGN    Dear Sir, I'm happy to hear you've been well since we last spoke.
SIGN    I am writing to you to propose the scheduling of a practice match
SIGN    between Kenjo High and Meisei High.

    He fell for it?
[03:30] Komiyama
    I'm glad their manager's so easy to read.
[03:33] Tomohito
    Meisei's the only one, right?
[03:37] Tomohito
    The only team this past year,
    outside of the Spring Invitationals,
[03:40] Tomohito
    that beat us in a game
    we worked hard to win.
[03:45] Tomohito
    Hm? Did I speak out of turn?
[03:49] Komiyama
    Is that so? I didn't notice.
[03:52] Komiyama
    When I lose a match, I analyze it
    and put it straight out of my mind.
[04:02] Komiyama
    Tell the others that.

[15:00] Komiyama
    I didn't realize their pitcher
    was so lacking in control.
[15:05] Komiyama
    That's my mistake.
[15:07] Komiyama
    My foolish directive to end this in the first
[15:10] Komiyama

[12:02] Harada
    Is that pitcher really your son?
[12:07] Eisuke
    What do you mean by that?
[12:09] Harada
    Well...
[12:11] Harada
    It seems less like inherited talent,
    and more like a kite giving birth to a hawk.
[12:17] Eisuke
    Who are you calling a kite?
[12:23] Umpire A
    Strike!
[12:25] Ooyama
    Still a no-hitter, huh?
[12:29] Haruka
    Yup. Souichirou's walk
    was our only time on base.
[12:33] Touma
    You're kidding.
[12:34] Ooyama
    Well, get to it, then.
[12:54] Ooyama
    Hey, now. No one told you
     to try for a home run.
[12:58] Souichirou
    Touma did hit a home run 
    off that pitcher last summer.
[13:05] Ooyama
    Oh, hey, so he did.
[13:07] Ooyama
    I completely forgot.
[13:10] Souichirou
    They remember that, too.
[13:13] Souichirou
    Their defense has gone deep.
[13:17] Souichirou
    Both the outfield...
[13:19] Souichirou
    and the infield.
[13:32] Souichirou
    They can't get a no-hitter now.
[13:35] Ooyama
    He's more level-headed
    than I made him out to be.
[13:38] Souichirou
    Nah.
[13:43] Umpire A
    Out!
[13:45] Souichirou
    He was originally exactly what
    you made him out to be.
[13:51] Eisuke
    That kite was raised by a hawk.
[13:56] Eisuke
    Sou is the legitimate genius.
[14:02] Eisuke
    The inherited talent. Get it now?
[14:07] Harada
    Still, it's an impressive kite
    that doesn't get eaten by a hawk.
[14:13] Eisuke
    Otomi's the reason why he didn't.
[14:18] Eisuke
    Otomi wouldn't let Touma use
    his lack of talent as an excuse.
[14:24] Eisuke
    And she's been on Touma's
    side since they were little.
[14:30] Eisuke
    Sou complained about it a lot.
[14:34] Harada

[14:40] Masaki
    Oh, hey there.
[14:42] Otomi
    Did you close your shop for this again, sir?
[14:45] Masaki
    Ah, it's fine.
[14:47] Masaki
    And you'd better not tell

[14:55] Masaki

[09:28] Masaki
    And it always seems to happen

[09:33] Harada
    Oh?
[09:36] Masaki
    The first tragedy was 30-odd years ago.
[09:40] Masaki
    On the morning of the finals, with Meisei's
     first Koshien appearance imminent,
[09:48] Masaki
    their undisputed ace, a first-year
    prodigy, died in a traffic accident.
[09:57] Masaki
    And five years later, a new man appeared,
    who we all had high hopes for.
[10:06] Masaki
    Keiichi Sawai.
[10:08] Masaki
    Souichirou and Otomi
    Tachibana's biological father.
[10:15] Masaki
    But a catastrophe in the quarters
    took him off the mound for good.
[10:25] Masaki
    So whenever a promising new ace appears
     for Meisei, you can't help wondering...
[10:31] Harada
    Kazuya Uesugi.
[10:33] Masaki
    Hm?
[10:36] Masaki

    Morning.

    Morning!
[12:51] Haruka
    Hm? What happened to you?
[12:56] Souichirou
    I was doing my morning calisthenics on the
    lawn when a drone dropped a package on me.
[13:02] Souichirou
    Boy, what a shock.
[13:09] Haruka
    Aw. So it wasn't a fight, then?
[13:12] Souichirou
    That's the problem?
[13:18] Koma
    What's with your face, man?
    Did you get a package dropped on you?
[13:22] Touma
    Why would you even ask that?
[13:24] Nishiki
    Did you have a fight with
    your bro this morning?
[13:27] Touma
    He kept riding me about stuff,
    so I indulged him in a bit of roughhousing.
[13:35] Nishiki
    I hope they're okay. That battery
    is kind of our team's foundation.
[13:42] Koma
    You're an only child,
    so you wouldn't understand,
[13:45] Koma
    but that's what it's like
    when you have a sibling.
[13:47] Koma
    Fighting's a sign of how close you are.

    Aren't you an only child, too?

    Yes, it is.

    Oh, excuse me. This is my first visit here.

    Um, and who are you?
[10:45] Senbongi
    Oh, my name is Senbongi.
[10:48] Mayumi
    Mr. Senbongi.
[10:51] Mayumi
    How did you know Mr. Sawai?
[10:53] Senbongi
    Well, um, we were high school acquaintances.
[10:56] Senbongi
    I only recently heard about his passing,
     and I was so surprised...

[11:51] Gorou
    I hate to admit it, but I owe Haruka one.

    Though as far as I know, he hasn't done any
     proper pitching practice since junior high.

    He's really into pitching.

[12:33] Ooyama
    Oh, um... I was just reminded

[12:53] Ooyama
    Oh, sorry 'bout that.
[12:55] Touma
    So what kind of person was he?
[12:59] Touma
    The guy who injured Sou's dad.
[13:02] Ooyama
    Oh, well...
[13:03] Ooyama
    He had a rather unusual name.
[13:06] Touma
    An unusual name?
[13:08] Ooyama
    He was a first-year like Sawai,
    brought in to pinch hit. It was, um...

[13:47] Mayumi
    Oh! You aren't at work?
[13:49] Eisuke
    Well, you see...
[13:51] Eisuke
    The president was so overjoyed
     about the birth of his first grandson,
[13:54] Eisuke
    he started drinking during a meeting.
[13:57] Eisuke
    "Let's forget about today, shall we?
    Everyone, go home!" he said.
[14:02] Mayumi
    I do hope your company's not at risk.
[14:06] Eisuke
    In this day and age, even the most prestigious
     of companies aren't guaranteed a future.
[14:12] Eisuke
    Sometimes, a company just goes belly-up!
[14:14] Mayumi
    Both the leadership and the workers
     seem awfully relaxed about it.
[14:18] Eisuke
    One of our sons will be the
    breadwinner, if needs be.
[14:22] Eisuke
    With those pro baseball signing bonuses.
[14:24] Eisuke
    Oh, but wait! They could both
     get signed at the same time.
[14:29] Eisuke
    Then we'd really be set!
[14:31] Mayumi
    Neither of them has said
    anything about going pro.
[14:36] Eisuke
    Nonsense. The whole world will be
    going wild for them in just a few years.
[14:43] Mayumi
    Is there another match today?
[14:46] Eisuke

    He said he knew Sawai in high school.

    Yup. It's just a jammed finger.

    That's what the school nurse said.

    Yeah.
[17:52] Imagawa
    If you really devoted yourself to pitching,

    Strike! You're out!
[18:25] Souichirou

    For real?

    Isn't that right?
[09:49] Senbongi
    No one was happier about it
    than Keiichi Sawai.

    I didn't even have the courage
    to enter his hospital room,
[10:00] Senbongi
    yet he came all the way to see me at home.
[10:03] Senbongi
    All he said was...
[10:06] Senbongi
    "I'm really happy for you."

[14:36] Natsuno
    I told her I didn't want it,
    but she stuck it on my bag anyway.
[14:41] Otomi
    Wow, this is nice.
[14:44] Natsuno
    Huh?

    It's kinda lousy.
    You can have it if you want it.

    Wait, no, I can't take it!
[14:53] Otomi
    It's a present from your mom.
[14:55] Natsuno
    I can just throw it out, then.
[14:59] Otomi
    I'll take it! I'll take it!
[15:02] Otomi
    Thanks! It makes me happy.
[15:04] Natsuno
    I didn't think a little nothing like that
     would make anyone happy.
[15:08] Otomi
    Oh, it definitely will.
[15:11] Otomi
    It'll make Tou really happy.
[15:14] Natsuno
    Tou?
[15:15] Otomi
    He's always loved these weird little things.
[15:18] Otomi
    He collects them in his treasure box.
[15:22] Otomi
    Thanks a lot, Natsuno.
[15:26] Natsuno
    I've never seen her that happy before.
[15:30] Ryou
    I see.
[15:32] Ryou
    So to make Otomi smile,

    Hey! Is that Mr. Skulls?!
[15:51] Inoue
    I dunno what it's called,
    but I got it from my uncle.
[15:57] Touma
    It's pretty beat up.
    I'll take it off your hands.
[16:00] Inoue
    No, that's okay.
[16:02] Touma
    Well, see, my little sister, Otomi, 
    loves those weird little things.
[16:07] Touma
    She's been collecting them in a
    treasure box since she was little.
[16:11] Inoue
    She has?
[16:13] Touma
    Plus, that one's a limited edition,
    so I think it'd make her pretty happy.
[16:18] Inoue
    You mean it?
[16:20] Koma
    Of course not.
[16:23] Koma
    Otomi doesn't want that crap.
[16:27] Koma

    Sorry, I had no idea.
[17:05] Arisa
    It's fine.
[17:08] Arisa
    None of my usual crowd realized, either.
[17:12] Otomi
    Oh. I see.
[17:14] Arisa
    You wanna come by my house today?
[17:18] Arisa
    I won't get birthday presents
    if I don't bring a friend home.
[17:24] Arisa
    I've never had a friend over before,
[17:28] Arisa
    and it seems even my overly
    indulgent parents are getting worried.
[17:32] Arisa
    They're all up my butt about
    bringing a friend this year.
[17:36] Otomi
    So why me?
[17:38] Arisa
    Unfortunately, my parents are
    under the impression I'm a good girl,
[17:42] Arisa
    and no one in my usual crowd
    is suitable to introduce to them.
[17:48] Arisa
    Someone like you would set any
    parent's mind at ease, though.
[17:53] Arisa
    You can hold a real conversation,
    you're amicable,
[17:57] Arisa
    you've got the cutesy act down,
    and you come across as smart enough.
[18:01] Otomi
    Are those compliments?
[18:03] Arisa
    But I won't beg or anything.

[18:38] Ooyama
    If there's a manager who could look
    at that battery and feel nervous,
[18:42] Ooyama
    I'd sure like to meet him.
[18:47] Haruka
    You've got Natsuno running a lot lately.
[18:50] Ooyama
    I'm just trying to keep him rested
    until those jammed fingers heal.
[18:55] Ooyama
    No worries there.
[18:57] Ooyama
    Our batting lineup's getting
    better and better, too.
[19:02] Koma
    Koma!
[19:04] Ooyama
    If there's a manager who wouldn't get excited
     about this team, I'd sure like to meet him.
[19:11] Haruka
    Sounds like the manager's the only one
     we need to be nervous about.
[19:14] Ooyama

[01:32] Komiyama
    Well? Didn't I tell you?
[01:38] Komiyama
    I said they'd keep developing until
    the summer if left to their own devices.
[01:42] Komiyama
    Including that brother of yours.
[01:46] Komiyama
    It says here his four at-bats were two
    extra-base hits, a walk, and a sacrifice fly.
[01:52] Komiyama
    A fine debut for a leadoff hitter.
[01:56] Tomohito
    That sacrifice fly was just a mishit.
[02:02] Komiyama
    Did he go to watch the game?

    Until a few years ago, their baseball team
    regularly made quarterfinals, too.
[10:37] Nishiki
    However...

    After repeated suspensions
    from interschool play,
[10:43] Nishiki
    the manager they appointed
    three years ago, Toida,
[10:48] Nishiki
    was tasked with thoroughly reforming
    them by the school's leadership.
[10:55] Touma
    And that didn't work out so well, huh?
[10:58] Nishiki
    Actually, they became so dedicated

[11:04] Touma
    I don't really see it.
[11:06] Nishiki

[11:09] Nishiki
    Last year and the year before, they lost in

[11:22] Touma
    Hang on. You can't have
    a baseball team like that.
[11:25] Nishiki
    This summer, with crowds booing them loudly,
     they've won both games by a wide margin.
[11:32] Nishiki
    You see, the manager pitied his team so much,
    he changed tack at the start of the year,
[11:37] Nishiki
    and said he'd personally take
    the blame for anything they did.
[11:42] Koma

[06:25] Souichirou
    Haunted by memories of Keiichi Sawai?
[06:32] Ooyama
    I know it seems strange to think about
    something from decades ago now, but...
[06:45] Ooyama
    I had a dream about that game this morning.
[06:50] Ooyama
    It bothered me so much, I couldn't help it.
[06:54] Ooyama
    But that's no way to be.
[06:56] Ooyama
    It's offensive to our opponent!
    Offensive to baseball itself!
[07:02] Touma
    You just realized that now?
[07:06] Ooyama
    Play hard, Touma.
[07:08] Ooyama
    Even if it means an injury

    I'm happy to play hard,
    but I'll pass on the injury, thanks.
[07:21] Ooyama
    Even so...
[07:23] Ooyama
    They've been hitting it toward
    first base almost obsessively.
[07:27] Haruka
    Probably because we've
    been lax at covering it.
[07:34] Haruka
    You said almost no one would remember
    that game, especially Eishin's starters.
[07:45] Haruka
    But their manager is your age.
[07:49] Haruka
    And he played for Eishin's
    baseball team back in the day.
[07:53] Ooyama
    What?
[07:54] Ooyama
    You mean, he was there for that game?
[07:57] Haruka
    Yep.
[08:01] Haruka
    He was their catcher
    and captain, just like you.
[08:07] Ooyama
    What a forgettable face.
[08:09] Ooyama
    He looked like your average
    middle-aged geezer to me.
[08:13] Haruka
    I'm sure he thinks the same of you.
[08:18] Haruka
    The difference is his cutthroat nature
    to notice and exploit how haunted you are.
[08:43] 2nd Base Umpire
    Safe!
[08:46] Touma
    Boy, that was close!
[08:51] Ooyama
    Good thing he went easy on the tag.
[08:54] Haruka
    The players don't share the
    manager's cutthroat nature, I guess.
[08:59] Haruka
    In fact, knowing about the accident
    is probably making them hold back.
[09:05] Ooyama
    What in the world are we doing?

    A little too much heat on that.
    The runner's held to third.
[09:35] Colorcaster
    No outs, runners on the corners.
[09:50] Colorcaster
    Meisei's one run behind. They have
    a chance to tie it up or maybe take the lead.
[09:55] Eisuke
    There's commentary all of a sudden?
[10:11] 1st Base Umpire
    Out!
[10:13] Colorcaster
    Wh-What? A hidden ball?
[10:17] Colorcaster
    The first-base runner, Koma, is out.
[10:26] Colorcaster
    Hidden ball tactics
    aren't officially prohibited,
[10:29] Colorcaster
    but the unwritten rules of high school
    baseball certainly discouraged it.
[10:34] Colorcaster
    This may be a sport that rewards scheming
    and exploiting the opponent's weak spots,
[10:39] Colorcaster
    but when you're cultivating

    hit a hard one to the shortstop,
[13:57] Colorcaster

    "Let's go... Let's go... to Koshien..."
[05:06] Ooyama
    Hey, I do hear it!
[05:10] Eisuke
    Right?
[05:11] Ooyama
    But that's not Sawai's voice.
[05:15] Ooyama
    It's your lousy ventriloquist act!
[05:19] Eisuke

[06:01] Ookuma
    Nah.
[06:04] Ookuma
    What the people want is Meisei vs. Sumi Tech.
[06:10] Ookuma
    That match is legendary.
[06:23] Ookuma
    To all the middle-aged men
    who lived through that summer,
[06:26] Ookuma
    including the ones writing
     those articles, anyway.
[06:33] Ookuma
    Kenjo, huh?
[06:35] Ookuma
    Why'd they change their name again?
[06:38] Komiyama
    Because they dropped their
    industrial arts program, I assume.
[06:42] Ookuma
    Oh, right.
[06:44] Komiyama
    A Meisei vs. Sumi Tech final, huh?
[06:49] Ookuma
    Doesn't seem too likely, of course.
[06:53] Ookuma
    The people and the media
    have an unjustly low opinion...
[06:58] Ookuma
    of both Seinan and
    their manager, Nishimura.

    Apparently, part of Touma's

[08:05] Imagawa

    Nah. He cares about his little sister.

[12:54] Nishimura
    She had to go to band practice, though.
[13:14] Nishimura
    Saijo's a pretty tough opponent, you know.
[13:19] Nishimura
    They don't have a monster batter

    Nishimura says he and Natsuno

    Kenjo vs. Houkaidai Ni.
[17:32] Colorcaster
    Another walk.
[17:35] Colorcaster
    Even with no runners on base,
[17:37] Colorcaster
    these pitchers won't even
    try throwing a strike to Akai.
[17:43] Colorcaster
    He's been on base three times,
    all from intentional walks.
[17:47] Colorcaster
    Houkaidai Ni High's bench has studiously
    avoided pitching to this stellar cleanup.
[17:52] Colorcaster
    But for their ace pitcher, Gotou,
    who struggles with runners on base,
[17:58] Colorcaster
    is this really the ideal strategy?
[18:01] Colorcaster
    Even without Akai, Kenjo has a strong lineup,

    Meisei High vs. Saijo.
[20:16] Colorcaster
    Meisei's starting pitcher, Natsuno,
    struggles with his control out of the gate,
[20:20] Colorcaster
    giving Saijo a promising two-run lead.
[20:25] Colorcaster
    But Meisei's bats have
    the long ball working this game.
[20:29] Colorcaster
    Batting fifth, Nangou ties things up
    with a two-run big fly.
[20:31] Colorcaster
    Batting seventh,
    Koma homers to take the lead.
[20:34] Colorcaster
    Batting fourth, Imagawa goes deep
    for a three-run shot.
[20:36] Colorcaster
    The Meisei lottery trio
    put six runs on the board.
[20:40] Colorcaster
    And Natsuno on the mound steps it up, too.
[20:43] Natsuno
    Okay, I get it now.
[20:45] Natsuno
    Like this!

[20:52] Colorcaster
    and his control make him
    seem like a different person.
[20:57] Colorcaster
    And in the seventh...

[06:47] Ooyama
    Yes, it's perfect visualization

    Gotcha!

[18:28] Colorcaster
    The first runner on base for either team

[02:27] Mitsuya
    Okay!
[02:32] Souichirou
    Third time through the order, huh?
[02:41] Colorcaster

[02:46] Colorcaster

[02:48] Colorcaster

[02:51] Colorcaster

    They can't achieve their

[04:44] Colorcaster
    That's right! Nishimura hasn't

[04:50] Colorcaster
    An error allowed one runner on base,
    but he took him out in a double play,
[04:54] Colorcaster
    leaving no stranded runners
    for a near-perfect game.

[05:08] Hyouri
    Is there a problem?

    Hey, good job.
[05:36] Colorcaster
    It's coming down in the gap between
    second, center, and right field.
[05:41] Colorcaster
    It hits the turf!
[05:50] Colorcaster
    It's a hit! A hit, a hit!
[05:52] Colorcaster
    The first hit of this game comes from Meisei
    High's leadoff and center fielder, Ryou Akai.
[05:58] Colorcaster
    Will we start to see offensive movement
    in this second match of the semifinals?
[06:04] Haruka
    So, what do we do now?
[06:07] Ooyama
    What else?
[06:12] Colorcaster
    Whoa. The 2-hole, Murotani,
    swings hard at the first pitch.
[06:18] Hyouri
    Who does he think he's fooling?
[06:20] Hyouri
    He knows the other team's
    first and third basemen are fast.
[06:25] Hyouri
    He's trying to delay their charge
    as much as possible, I'll bet.
[06:30] Hyouri
    He's obviously going to bunt here.
[06:36] Umpire
    Strike!
[06:39] Umpire
    Strike! You're out!
[06:42] Colorcaster
    Behind in the count, but still swinging
    away and that's strike three.
[06:46] Colorcaster
    The runner stays right
    where he is, and it's one out.
[06:49] Haruka
    Is that what you ordered?
[06:51] Ooyama
    Yeah.
[06:53] Ooyama
    I wanted to avoid a double play
    on a weak grounder.
[06:57] Ooyama
    If you swing away like that
    with Nishimura pitching like he is,
[07:00] Ooyama
    you won't make contact.
[07:02] Haruka
    Why not go for a sacrifice bunt?
[07:05] Ooyama
    I'm playing the percentages.
[07:09] Ooyama
    If first base were clear,
    they'd walk Souichirou for sure.
[07:14] Ooyama
    Leaving the runner where he is
[07:16] Ooyama
    and betting on an extra-base hit
    from Souichirou on his third at-bat
[07:19] Ooyama
    seems more likely to
    translate to a run, don't you think?
[07:25] Haruka
    I see.
[07:28] Colorcaster
    Well, well, well. Looks like a
    message from the Seinan bench.
[07:37] Hyouri
    An intentional walk, I'll bet.
[07:41] Colorcaster
    It's an intentional walk,
    and Tachibana takes his base.
[07:47] Ooyama
    Wha?
[07:49] Haruka
    Even high school baseball
    has adopted that rule, you see.
[07:56] Koma
    Looks like Nishimura on
    the mound wanted that, too.
[08:00] Touma
    Yeah. He's thinking clearly.
[08:04] Colorcaster
    With one out and a runner on first,
[08:06] Colorcaster
    the 3-hole and catcher,
    Tachibana, is walked intentionally.
[08:09] Colorcaster
    Coach Nishimura is willing to put a runner
    in a scoring position to avoid facing him.
[08:16] Haruka
    Looks like their bench
    saw things the same way.
[08:19] Ooyama
    Damn. Playing the percentages, huh?
[08:25] Colorcaster
    Next up, the cleanup, Imagawa.
[08:28] Imagawa
    Should I feel insulted?
[08:47] Umpire
    Foul!
[08:48] Ooyama
    When a percentage goes down...
[08:52] Ooyama
    you just have to raise it.
[09:12] Colorcaster
    The double steal is...
[09:12] Umpire
    Safe!
[09:14] Colorcaster
    ...successful!
[09:16] Colorcaster
    One out, runners on second and third.
[09:18] Colorcaster
    Meisei's got a real chance here!
[09:28] Ooyama
    How'd you like that? That percentage
     is looking pretty good now!
[09:31] Touma
    What was the chance of
    success on that double steal?
[09:37] Koma
    A more accurate throw
    would've made that dicey, right?
[09:46] Ooyama
    Despite appearances,
    he's good at making contact.
[09:52] Ooyama
    One out, runners on second and third.
[09:56] Ooyama
    We don't need a hit.
[09:59] Ooyama
    If he can just make contact...
[10:02] Ooyama
    something might happen!
[10:07] Ooyama
    Yes!
[10:09] Colorcaster
    It's a hard fly ball.
[10:11] Ooyama
    Make it to the outfield!
    Give us a run on a sacrifice fly!
[10:15] Touma
    Hang on, dude.
[10:19] Colorcaster
    The right fielder retreats...
[10:21] Ooyama
    Yes! One run on a sacrifice fly!
[10:25] Colorcaster
    But it goes over his head!
[10:29] Colorcaster
    It's loose! It's loose!
[10:35] Colorcaster
    The runner from third makes it in.
[10:39] Colorcaster
    The runner from second makes it in, too.
[10:41] Colorcaster
    But the fired-up Imagawa gets greedy and
    is tagged out at second. Just a bit too slow.
[10:49] Colorcaster
    And so, in the bottom of the seventh,

[16:20] Colorcaster
    In the eighth with one out, Seinan's 5-hole
[16:23] Colorcaster
    and pitcher, Nishimura,
    hits a home run off the foul pole.
[16:27] Colorcaster
    That one hit wrecks Touma Tachibana's
    perfect game, his no-hitter,
[16:33] Colorcaster
    and his shutout all at once.
[16:39] Souichirou
    What the hell was that pitch?
[16:43] Touma
    That's what I'd like to know.
[16:49] Touma
    This cool breeze blew in all of a sudden,
    and my body went totally limp.
[16:57] Souichirou
    Huh?
[17:05] Souichirou

    I think.
[17:47] Touma
    Okay.
[17:49] Touma
    I can continue to throw it
    in the strike zone, no problem.
[17:58] Umpire
    Strike! You're out!
[18:11] Umpire
    Three outs!
[18:16] Nishimura's Dad
    What was that about, then?
[18:18] Nishimura's Dad
    The pitch he threw to you.
[18:22] Nishimura
    Who can say?
[18:25] Nishimura's Dad
    Enjoying yourself, are you?
[18:28] Nishimura
    Yeah.
[18:29] Nishimura
    That's our best game of
    the summer right here.
[18:34] Nishimura's Dad
    Idiot. It's only our best game if Seinan wins.
[18:41] Nishimura
    You seem to be enjoying yourself
    more than I am, though.
[19:05] Colorcaster
    The bat finds nothing. That's two outs.
[19:09] Colorcaster
    Great movement and speed from
    Seinan's ace, Takumi Nishimura.
[19:14] Colorcaster
    With such stellar pitching, you wouldn't
    believe he just gave up two runs.
[19:22] Komiyama
    Where'd the others go?
[19:24] Team E
    Oh, well...
[19:26] Team E
    They said seeing all those strikeouts before
    our match was giving them bad vibes, so...
[19:49] Colorcaster
    Strike three!
[19:52] Colorcaster
    Takumi Nishimura raises
    a cry from the mound!
[19:55] Colorcaster
    Other than the blip in the seventh,
    he's ended every inning in three batters!
[19:59] Colorcaster
    In pitching eight innings, he's given up
    two hits and struck out 16!
[20:04] Colorcaster
    I should call it incredible,
    but his rival pitcher, Touma Tachibana,
[20:09] Colorcaster
    has only given up one hit, which was
    a home run to Nishimura himself.
[20:12] Colorcaster
    He's struck out 17!
[20:14] Colorcaster
    But gosh, what a match this has been!
[20:19] Hyouri
    Yes, we have ourselves here
    a bona fide pitchers' duel.
[20:25] Colorcaster
    And so, it's Seinan's turn to bat,
    needing one run in the final inning.

    Why, that's terrible.
[13:04] Nishimura's Dad
    Okay, I get it.
[13:06] Nishimura's Dad
    Just leave it to me, your best bud.
[13:09] Nishimura's Dad
    I'll tell you all about old times
    until your memory returns.
[13:13] Nishimura's Dad
    C'mon, this way.
[13:17] Nishimura's Dad
    I see, I see.
[13:19] Nishimura's Dad
    I suppose you don't remember
    the 2,000 yen I lent you in high school?
[13:26] Nishimura's Dad
    Well, don't sweat it. I'm not
    a stickler about stuff like that.
[13:31] Nishimura
    Do they look like best buds to you?
[13:33] Club A
    Nope.
[13:36] Ooyama
    Okay, that's the end! Everyone, go home!
[13:39] Baseball Club
    Yes, sir!
[13:41] Ooyama
    Oh, Souichirou. You're the captain,
    so you stick around.
[13:45] Ooyama
    We've got a meeting with school people
    about the fall tournament.
[13:50] Souichirou
    Sure.
[14:00] Touma
    Koma, wanna grab some yakisoba...
[14:12] Touma
    ...while you're walking home?
SIGN    Punch
[14:55] Touma
    Family, huh?
[15:09] Touma
    Did you get dinner ready?
[15:11] Otomi
    Yup, yup. All ready.
[15:17] Touma
    What happened to your finger?
[15:19] Otomi
    A glorious battle scar.
[15:21] Touma
    Show me.
[15:23] Otomi
    It's fine. It's not a big deal.
[15:26] Touma
    Let me.
[15:40] Touma
    It's just a scratch.
[15:42] Otomi
    I told you it was.
[15:45] Otomi
    Are you hungry? We can eat anytime.
[15:48] Touma
    Nah, we should wait for Sou—
[15:53] Otomi
    Coming, coming.
[15:57] Otomi
    Yes? Tachibana...
[15:59] Otomi
    Oh, Sou?
[16:02] Otomi
    Oh? Really?
[16:05] Otomi
    Got it. Later.
[16:09] Touma
    What did he say?
[16:11] Otomi
    During that meeting, the alumni bought
    Manager Ooyama beer and he drank too much.
[16:16] Otomi
    He didn't seem steady on his feet,
     so he's walking him home.
[16:22] Touma
    What's wrong with that old man?
[16:25] Otomi
    This is strictly confidential, of course.
[16:30] Otomi
    So I guess we should eat, huh?
[16:32] Touma
    Yeah.
SIGN    DRAGON
[16:39] Souichirou
    I'll let you handle it from here.
[16:41] Haruka
    Oh, sorry about this, Souichirou.
[16:43] Ooyama
    Hey, hang on a minute,
    Souichirou. Come on in.
[16:47] Ooyama
    We'll talk a bit more about the team.
SIGN    Ooyama
[16:51] Haruka
    Hey! You okay, Dad?
[16:53] Ooyama
    I'm fine. I'm fine.
[16:55] Ooyama
    I won't let anyone say I'm drunk!
[18:14] Otomi
    Okay. I get it. Take your time.
[18:22] Otomi
    Sou says he's at the manager's house
    getting treated to Haruka's home cooking.
[18:28] Touma
    Why didn't you get mad?
[18:30] Touma
    You made all that food,
    and we waited for him.
[18:34] Otomi
    It's fine, it's fine.
[18:36] Otomi
    Sou only complains about my cooking, anyway.
[18:40] Touma
    Your cooking's good.
[18:44] Otomi
    That's because I make it to your tastes.
[18:47] Otomi
    You guys are way too different
    with your likes and dislikes.
[18:51] Otomi
    It's honestly annoying.
[18:53] Touma
    Because we're not related
    by blood, I guess. Him and me.
[19:02] Touma
    Actually, I'm the only one
    in the house who isn't.
[19:09] Touma
    It was too damn sudden, you know?
[19:13] Touma
    Didn't even say goodbye.
[19:17] Touma
    Left a fridge full of beer.
[19:26] Touma
    Thanks, by the way.
[19:31] Touma
    I didn't think you'd cry so much for my dad.
[19:38] Otomi
    I was crying for two.
[19:42] Otomi
    Because when my own dad died,
    I was too little to cry.
[20:00] Otomi
    And I really loved him.
[20:08] Otomi
    I could cry forever.
[20:18] Touma
    I hope Mom cries, too.
[20:24] Touma
    Haruka said it.
[20:27] Touma
    If it's just the two of them
     without us there,
[20:31] Touma
    she might be able to really cry.
[20:36] Otomi
    She's really nice.
[20:38] Touma
    I mean, holding that stuff in
     is bad for your health.
[20:45] Otomi
    It is for you, too.
[20:58] Touma
    You're the main person
    I can't cry in front of.
[21:03] Touma
    My pathetic side... My shameful side...
[21:09] Touma
    The main person in the world
    I can't show that stuff to...
[21:17] Touma
    is you.
[21:26] Otomi
    Cry.
[21:30] Touma
    No.
[21:38] Otomi
    Cry.
[21:41] Touma
    No.
[23:21] Narrator
    I'm here with you.
[23:24] Narrator
    I'll hear you out.
[23:27] Narrator
    I'll give you a shoulder to cry on.
[23:29] Narrator
    So let's start walking again, together.

    Our destination: Koshien.

[01:34] Touma
    I'm told I was a real crybaby
     when I was a kid.
[01:43] Otomi
    Seems that way, yeah.
[01:47] Otomi
    Dad told me you changed
    after I joined the household.
[01:55] Otomi
    Is that true?
[02:17] Otomi
    Here, your coffee.
[02:24] Touma
    He was just so cool.
[02:28] Otomi
    Who was?
[02:36] Touma
    Sou was.
[02:39] Touma
    In my childish heart, I wanted
    to be a big brother like that.
[02:44] Touma
    So I decided, "I can't just
    keep crying all the time."
[02:51] Touma
    Hot!
[02:57] Otomi
    For as long as I can remember,,
    my friends always envied me.
[03:02] Otomi
    They all wanted a big brother like that.
[03:06] Touma
    Yeah, I believe it.
[03:09] Otomi
    But...
[03:11] Otomi
    I don't need two of Sou.
[03:17] Otomi
    To the hypercompetent Sou,
    I was just the annoying little sister.
[03:23] Otomi
    But in your eyes, I was indispensable.
[04:24] Touma
    Yeah.
[04:27] Touma
    If it wasn't for you, I would've thrown
    in the towel the minute Sou showed up,
[04:32] Touma
    and not even bothered competing.
[04:38] Touma
    That's for sure.
[04:46] Otomi
    I see, I see.
[04:48] Otomi
    You worked really hard.
[04:50] Otomi
    You even stole the role of ace from Sou.
[04:54] Otomi
    Good boy, good boy.
[04:58] Touma
    I just beat him at rock paper scissors.
[05:01] Touma
    Only one game of it at that.
[05:04] Touma
    I would've insisted on making it
    two out of three myself.
[05:09] Touma
    Why'd he back off just like that?
[05:14] Otomi
    I'll bet...
[05:16] Otomi
    he thought I'd be happier that way.
[05:28] Otomi
    At least, I think so.
[05:39] Touma
    Damn it.
[05:42] Otomi
    Want another coffee?

    We haven't had a chance
    to sit and chat in a while,
[06:17] Otomi
    so I think it's time we caught up.
[06:20] Touma
    Okay, fine.
[06:24] Otomi
    Take a look. In here—
[06:36] Otomi
    Someone's there.
[06:53] Harada
    Oh.
[06:56] Harada
    Crud.
[06:59] Harada
    I had too much to drink and
    walked to the wrong house.
[07:07] Touma
    Do we know a single adult who
    doesn't get blind stinking drunk?
SIGN    Punch
[07:18] Otomi
    Here. Your water.
[07:26] Harada
    Ah, sorry about this.
[07:30] Harada
    Living in that tent was just so good,
     I slipped back into old habits.
[07:36] Touma
    What's wrong with you?
    Your family's got that huge place.
[07:41] Harada
    I can't get comfortable
    on a nice, soft bed like that.
[07:58] Harada
    Where's everyone else?
[08:01] Otomi
    Mom went for a weekender at a hot
    springs resort with the manager's wife.
[08:07] Harada
    And Souichirou?
[08:09] Otomi
    He's at the manager's house getting
    treated to Haruka's home cooking.
[08:14] Harada
    So it's just the two of you here?
[08:18] Touma
    Yeah. So?
[08:22] Harada
    Sorry to interrupt.
[08:27] Harada
    Later.
[08:42] Harada
    Mind if I light an incense
    stick for your dad?
[09:24] Harada
    It'll be all right, sir.
[09:34] Harada
    It'll be all right.
[09:56] Harada
    I'm counting on you with Touma.
[10:04] Harada
    Later.
[10:13] Touma
    What did he say?
[10:16] Touma
    Did he ask you for something?
[10:25] Otomi
    Nah. Anyway, picking up where we left off—
[10:33] Souichirou
    Did I just pass that old guy with amnesia?
[10:41] Otomi
    Welcome back.
[10:43] Touma
    You're back early.
[10:45] Souichirou
    On what planet?

[12:52] Ooyama
    Well, I knew our opponents today
    would be stronger on offense than defense.
SIGN    Meisei
[12:59] Ooyama
    Still, it feels good racking up all those hits.
[13:06] Ooyama
    Although...
[13:14] Ooyama
    Even if they are strong on offense,
     isn't Natsuno giving up a few too many runs?
SIGN    Nantara
[13:28] Touma
    It was the same in the last match.
[13:30] Touma
    I think he's pitching a little high overall.
[13:36] Touma
    Even though his best pitches
    are sinkers with excellent control.
[13:46] Touma
    Plus, he's thrown a lot of
    wild pitches and loose ones today.
[13:56] Umpire
    Ball four! One out, bases loaded!
[14:01] Ooyama
    Pitcher change!
[14:13] Natsuno
    I set it up so things
    would be exciting for you.
[14:17] Touma
    You idiot.
[14:19] Touma
    You'd better work on that
    pitching form of yours!
[14:22] Natsuno
    Sure.
[14:25] Souichirou
    Stay alert.
[14:28] Souichirou
    Natsuno's condition is part of the problem,
    but they really are swinging well.
[14:33] Touma
    Yeah, I've been watching.
[14:36] Touma
    They're all really working hard.
[14:43] Umpire
    Play ball!
[15:03] Ooyama
    Looks like he's shaken off
     the ghost of his dad.
[15:08] Haruka
    He hasn't shaken off anything.
[15:12] Haruka
    He's taken his father's
    feelings fully on board.

    They won?
[16:15] Otomi
    It was 11-4. Called in the eighth.
[16:19] Arisa
    How'd Akai do?
[16:21] Otomi
    Um...
[16:24] Otomi
    Looks like he got three hits.
[16:27] Arisa
    I see.
[16:30] Otomi
    Who are you telling?
[16:33] Otomi
    Oh, Akai's big brother?
[16:39] Otomi
    Oh, am I wrong? Sorry.
[16:45] Arisa
    They're an odd set of siblings.
[16:48] Arisa
    Apparently, they barely talk at home.
[16:54] Arisa
    But he's still really worried
    about his brother.
[17:03] Otomi
    They're siblings who grow by butting heads.
    At least, that's what he told Tou.
[17:11] Arisa
    Having non-blood-related
    siblings sounds like a pain.
[17:16] Otomi
    Does it?
[17:18] Arisa
    Oh, right. You're in that situation, too.
[17:22] Arisa
    Wait, which brother are you related to again?
[17:26] Otomi
    Which do you think?
[17:32] Arisa
    I don't really care.
[17:38] Arisa
    Oh.
[17:40] Arisa
    About that guy...
[17:42] Otomi
    That guy?
[17:44] Arisa
    Akai's older brother.
[17:46] Otomi
    Oh, right, right.
[17:48] Arisa
    Bet you think he's cold and aloof, don't you?
[17:52] Otomi
    What? Uh, I didn't...
[17:56] Arisa
    But he's actually surprisingly...
[18:03] Arisa
    I don't really care.
[18:10] Yoshiko
    Looks like her feelings for Akai
    totally transferred to his brother.
[18:15] Otomi
    I always thought they'd make a good match.
[18:20] Yoshiko
    I thought she'd been less prickly and looking
     more attractive lately. That explains it.

    Okay! So if I wanna get prettier,
