"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"
[23:47] ---
[23:50] ---
