    But not all ramen becomes
    delicious just because it's free.
[02:01] Narrator
    It becomes delicious because you
    eat it boldly as the spoils of victory.
[02:10] Ooyama
    That's right!
[02:13] Ooyama
    Get a move on already, Red Team!
[02:15] Natsuno
    Sheesh.
[02:17] Souichirou
    You know what to do, Natsuno?
[02:20] Natsuno
    Heck yeah, I do.
[02:21] Natsuno
    The only solid hitters they've got
    are Akai and Touma.
[02:24] Natsuno
    As long as I keep my
    control tight, we win easy.
[02:28] Souichirou
    "Easy" might be overstating it,
    but you can pitch with confidence.

    Batting first, center fielder,
    Akai. First-year.
[02:47] Natsuno
    First!
[02:53] Umpire
    Foul!
[02:55] Ryou
    Did his breaking balls always move like that?
[02:59] Souichirou
    It impressed me, too.
[03:01] Natsuno
    First!
[03:09] Souichirou
    Your swing there impressed me, too.
[03:13] Souichirou
    One ball width lower,
    and that would've been in the stands.
[03:22] Ryou
    I got a compliment.
[03:24] Koma
    Giving up an easy out is
    never something to celebrate!
[03:27] Narrator
    Batting second, second baseman,
    Murotani. Third-year.
[03:32] Umpire
    Strike! You're out!
[03:34] Souichirou
    Three ball widths lower, and that
    would've been a liner in front of center.
[03:39] Murotani
    I... did not get a compliment, did I?
[03:41] Touma
    Nope, unfortunately.
[03:43] Natsuno
    Two outs! Two outs!
[03:46] Ooyama
    That little punk looks even better
    than he did against Kenjo.
[03:51] Koma
    He must be a real ramen lover, too.
[03:55] Narrator
    Batting third, pitcher,
    Tachibana. Second-year.
[03:58] Natsuno
    First!
[04:02] Souichirou
    That was a fastball down the middle.
[04:05] Souichirou
    I think you've been neglecting
    your batting practice.
[04:08] Touma
    Oh, shut up.
[04:10] Touma
    That frustrated batting debt I worked up
     while never getting to pitch in junior high
[04:15] Touma
    isn't anywhere near paid yet!
[04:21] Touma
    Th-That was a terrible hit!
[04:24] Natsuno
    Grounded right to the pitcher!
[04:26] Touma
    Lucky break!

[05:09] Tsuda
    Has our band always been this good?
[05:14] Tsuda
    Was Mr. Senbongi a better teacher than me
     while I was off on maternity leave?
[05:20] Girl
    No way. He pretty much slept the whole time.
[05:25] Girl
    Right?
[05:25] Otomi
    But on the rare occasion he did say something,
     his advice seemed really on point.
[05:32] Girl
    Hm... Now that you mention it, it was.
[05:35] Boy
    I hear Mr. Senbongi is subbing
     for the fine arts club now.

[06:09] Ooyama
    What? Natsuno jammed
    his fingers and can't pitch?
[06:12] Ooyama
    Well, well! We've got ramen in our future.
[06:16] Ooyama
    Will he be all right, though?
[06:19] Morishita
    Your priorities might be backwards there.
[06:22] Touma
    What should we do?
[06:26] Touma
    It won't be much of a match like this.

    Great work.
[07:31] Souichirou
    That catcher's mask looks good on you.
[07:34] Imagawa
    You think so?
[07:36] Koma
    Oh, I forgot. In junior high, Imagawa was
    the team's catcher before Souichirou joined.
[07:44] Touma
    Yeah.
[07:45] Touma
    But they moved him to first
    with high hopes for his slugging.

[08:04] Haruka
    Touma doesn't seem to
    be enjoying his pitching.
[08:08] Imagawa
    Yeah, I doubt he's liking it very much.
[08:11] Imagawa
    That first-year we rushed out
     to sub in for Natsuno
[08:15] Imagawa
    is fouling off pitch after pitch
    to stay in the at-bat.
[08:18] Haruka
    They're easier pitches, too, right?
[08:20] Souichirou
    His control is excellent at full power,
[08:22] Souichirou
    but it's harder to
    maintain when holding back.
[08:32] Nangou
    That was a nice infield hit.
[08:37] Nonomura
    Tachibana.
[08:39] Nonomura
    I think I'm getting used to it, so you can
    throw with a little more power if you want.
[08:44] Touma
    Oh, really?
[08:51] Nonomura
    I said a little more, remember?
[08:53] Nonomura
    I didn't say go all-out.
[08:55] Touma
    Oh, sorry.
[08:58] Touma
    That wasn't exactly all-out, though.
[09:00] Touma
    Let's try this, then.
[09:04] Nonomura
    Right down the middle.
[09:10] Imagawa
    We might take him out
    of the game here and now.
[09:13] Imagawa
    Right, Souichirou?
[09:14] Haruka
    I'm not so sure.
[09:17] Haruka
    He might not be enjoying it, but...

    Take this!
[09:53] Touma
    And this!

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

[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

[13:08] Ooyama

    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
    I took a peek, and it's
    apparently a scrimmage match.

    I'd never seen him before.
    He said he knew Sawai in high school.
[15:11] Eisuke
    What was his name?
[15:13] Mayumi
    Senbongi, I believe.
[15:17] Mayumi
    Do you know him?
[15:18] Eisuke
    Senbongi?
[15:20] Eisuke
    That name sounds rather familiar.
[15:22] Eisuke
    I don't think he went to our school, though...
[15:25] Mayumi
    Ouch!
[15:26] Eisuke
    What's wrong?
[15:27] Mayumi
    I cut my finger with the chef's knife.
[15:29] Eisuke
    Hey, you sure you're okay?
[15:32] Eisuke
    Look! You're bleeding!
[15:34] Mayumi
    It's not a big deal, really.
[15:37] Mayumi
    It'll stop right away.
[15:40] Mayumi
    Um, staring at it won't make it stop.

    It's very impressive.

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