[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...
[23:42] ---
"Aren't You Taking Him Lightly?"
[23:42] ---
Next time, "Aren't You Taking Him Lightly?"
[23:44] ---
But the best has to be our kiriboshi daikon.
