[00:10] Oohashi
    Whew!
[00:11] Touma
    What're you up to, Oohashi?
[00:13] Oohashi
    Oh, hey, Tachibana.
[00:15] Oohashi
    Sorry, but could you help me carry this?
[00:19] Touma
    What is it?
[00:22] Oohashi

    big budget like the baseball club.

[00:43] Oohashi
    Just help me get it inside, would you?
[00:46] Touma
    Sure thing.
[00:49] Touma
    Pretty dirty, huh?
[00:52] Touma
    Pretty stinky, huh?
[00:54] Touma
    So this club somehow still exists, huh?
[00:57] Oohashi
    Oh, shut up.
[01:01] Oohashi
    You baseball guys do know you owe
    the boxing club big time, don't you?
[01:08] Touma
    Huh?
[01:09] Oohashi
    Don't "Huh?" me.

[01:11] Oohashi
    He came from the boxing club, you know.

[01:17] Oohashi

[01:19] Oohashi
    The baseball club came crying
    to our captain at the time,
[01:23] Oohashi
    and he sent him off with great sorrow.
[01:26] Oohashi
    That's how you guys
    got your miraculous win.
[01:29] Oohashi
    Be a little grateful. And don't ever forget!
[01:32] Touma
    That's weird. I heard he got traded
    for a piece of calligraphy board.
SIGN    Hot Blood
SIGN    Guts
[01:39] Oohashi
    Oh, please. Don't tell me you
    actually believe that silly story.
[01:45] Oohashi
    You know the classic old story,
[01:47] Oohashi
    where the pitcher's boxing training
    increases the speed of his pitches.
[01:52] Touma
    That's more of a manga and anime thing.
[01:56] Touma
    Did you put these old pictures up
     to cover up the dirt on the walls?
[02:01] Oohashi
    That's our history, man.
[02:03] Touma
    So a bit of both, then.
[02:06] Oohashi
    Well? Wanna hang for a bit
    and speed up those pitches?
[02:12] Oohashi
    In the boxing club, I mean.
[02:13] Touma
    Yeah, yeah. So long.
[02:16] Oohashi
    Hey, shut the door behind you.

    I think you guys need the fresh air.

    I know who you are.
[04:34] Touma
    Mr. Senbongi, right?
[04:36] Touma
    You transferred here in April,
    and now you're the band's adviser.
[04:40] Senbongi
    Actually, I'm advising the fine art club now.
[04:44] Senbongi
    Do you think we could have a word?
[04:48] Senbongi
    I have to speak with you
    regarding your father.
[04:53] Touma
    Did he make some kind of mess or something?
[04:57] Senbongi
    Well...
[04:59] Senbongi
    Actually, I'm the one who made the mess.

SIGN    Fine Art Room
[05:38] Senbongi
    And that's the story.
[05:45] Touma
    Huh.
[05:47] Touma
    Wow. Yeah, okay. That's quite a coincidence.
[05:51] Senbongi
    I felt it'd be better to tell you directly
[05:54] Senbongi
    than for you to find out
    via some circuitous route.
[06:00] Touma
    Okay, I get it.
[06:10] Touma
    Oh, right.
[06:11] Touma
    Do you remember the third-year who took
    the mound after Keiichi Sawai in that game?
[06:17] Touma
    Uniform number 12.
[06:21] Senbongi
    Uh, well... Vaguely.
[06:24] Touma
    That's my dad.
[06:27] Senbongi
    Oh, I see.
[06:33] Touma
    So I'll go get the Tachibana
    who's actually Keiichi Sawai's son.
[06:38] Touma

[07:13] Senbongi
    It took a while for me to
    process what had happened.
[07:19] Senbongi
    All I got was the feeling of contact,
    the fall, and the call of "out."
[07:26] Senbongi
    The bottom of the seventh.
    The bottom of the order was up.
[07:31] Senbongi
    In that game,
[07:33] Senbongi
    bloops and infield hits were the
    best you could hope for off Keiichi Sawai.
[07:39] Senbongi
    I was brought in to pinch-hit.

    I'm the man who stole

[08:28] Souichirou
    But he wasn't the only one
    who lost his baseball career.
[08:34] Souichirou
    I looked into my father's life
    a bit on my own.
[08:38] Souichirou
    I wasn't looking for the culprit,
[08:40] Souichirou
    so I wasn't especially interested
    in the name I came across,
[08:45] Souichirou
    but that person quit
    the baseball club that autumn.
[08:49] Souichirou
    I'm betting that, when running,
[08:53] Souichirou
    he unintentionally slowed down
    if someone was in front of him.
[08:56] Souichirou
    In other words, he got the yips.
[08:59] Senbongi
    Oh, well...
[09:00] Souichirou
    That's fatal for a player
    whose main strength is his speed.
[09:05] Senbongi
    My talent was nothing
    compared to Keiichi Sawai's.
[09:10] Senbongi
    You can't really put us in the same boat.
[09:12] Souichirou
    But...
[09:13] Souichirou
    You were both victims, weren't you?
[09:22] Souichirou
    So what do you think happened?
[09:24] Touma
    With what?
[09:26] Souichirou
    To the person who could still run full speed
    as long as there was no one in front of him.
[09:32] Touma
    He went into sprinting or something?
[09:34] Souichirou
    Yeah.
[09:35] Souichirou
    He made it to the
    inter-high in his second year,
[09:38] Souichirou
    and won at nationals in his third.
[09:41] Touma
    For real?
[09:44] Souichirou
    Isn't that right?
[09:49] Senbongi
    No one was happier about it
    than Keiichi Sawai.
[09:56] Senbongi
    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."
[10:09] Senbongi
    And then he left, as happy as could be.
[10:15] Senbongi
    That's the kind of man your father was.
[10:19] Souichirou
    I know.
[10:25] Senbongi
    I see.
[10:29] Senbongi
    The catcher from that game is
    your team's manager now, right?
[10:33] Souichirou
    Yes.
[10:34] Senbongi
    And the son of that
    relief pitcher is your ace.
[10:39] Senbongi
    Keiichi Sawai's son is your catcher.
[10:43] Senbongi
    It has to be more than a coincidence.
[10:46] Senbongi
    Including my transfer here in April.
[10:50] Souichirou
    He's calling you. Keiichi Sawai.
[10:54] Souichirou
    He's calling all the people he wants to
    watch Meisei High make it to Koshien.
[11:01] Touma
    That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!
[11:04] Souichirou
    Join in the hype already.
[11:08] Senbongi
    I'd be truly honored if that is the case.
[11:12] Souichirou
    Start believing.
[11:14] Souichirou
    We'll probably make it to Koshien.

     who showed up in early spring
[11:35] Touma

    Nah, there's no way Dad did that.

    Thanks! It makes me happy.
[15:04] Natsuno
    I didn't think a little nothing like that
     would make anyone happy.
