[03:15] Eisuke
    It passes by in a flash.
[03:21] Eisuke
    We've been living together
    for ten years now, huh?
[03:33] Eisuke
    Even sweet little Otomi
     is in high school now.
[03:38] Eisuke
    Goodness. Those ten years
    really did pass by in a flash.
[03:42] Touma
    It might seem like it to you,
    but don't act like it does for us, all right?
[03:51] Eisuke
    Fair enough.
[03:53] Eisuke
    We adults are just killing time.
[03:56] Eisuke
    You kids are growing
    and learning every day.
[04:00] Eisuke
    I wonder how you'd have turned out
    if it'd just been the two of us.
[04:05] Otomi
    Thanks.
[04:07] Touma
    I could say the same for you.
[04:10] Touma
    Crying in front of a picture of my dead mom
     every night until you passed out drunk...
[04:18] Touma
    If you'd kept drinking like that, you'd have
     ended up in a ditch by now for sure.
[04:24] Eisuke
    You said it.
[04:25] Eisuke
    And I've got to show my
    gratitude to Sawai, of course.
[04:30] Eisuke
    If it hadn't been for him,
    I never would've met Otomi or Sou.
[04:39] Otomi
    Aw, Punch.
[04:39] Eisuke
    I'm truly grateful.
[04:43] Eisuke
    Aw, man.
[04:45] Touma
    What's wrong?
[04:46] Eisuke
    In another ten years,
    she might be married to someone.
[04:47] Otomi
    Punch! Punch!
[04:52] Eisuke
    Sweet little Otomi.
[04:55] Touma
    Come on now. She only just
    started high school this spring.
[04:59] Touma
    Seems a little early to worry about that.
[05:02] Eisuke
    But didn't I just say? For me,
    ten years pass by in a flash.
[05:08] Eisuke
    Aw, man.
[05:13] Souichirou
    Touma.
[05:15] Souichirou
    We gotta get going.
[05:17] Touma
    Sure thing.
[05:21] Eisuke
    Oh, that reminds me.
     Who's your first-round opponent?
[05:25] Touma
    I'd advise you to get
    your head into gear, sir.
[05:28] Touma
    We're a seeded school, remember?
[05:31] Touma
    We don't play for a while yet.
[05:34] Eisuke
    Oh, is that so?
[05:38] Eisuke
    A seeded school, huh?
[05:40] Eisuke
    Sounds like a dream for an alumnus like me.
[05:43] Touma
    Though, we just barely qualified.
[05:46] Eisuke
    Still, it's a shortcut to Koshien.
[05:50] Touma
    Oh, come on. We still have six games.
[05:52] Touma
    There's way too many schools in Tokyo.
[05:55] Eisuke
    And I'll be there to watch every
    single one, even if it gets me fired!
[06:03] Souichirou
    Touma!
[06:04] Touma
    Coming!
[06:09] Otomi
    Have a good day.
[06:16] Touma
    When you're sick of Punch, could you
    entertain the old man for a while instead?
[06:23] Otomi
    Copy that.
[06:48] Nishimura
    This is seriously Japanese.
[06:52] Nishimura
    Entreating the gods at a shrine in the end?
[06:55] Nishimura's Dad
    Yeah. Entreating the gods.
SIGN    Seinan
[06:59] Nishimura's Dad
    But I'm not asking to be granted
    victory in our matches.
[07:06] Nishimura's Dad
    I just want the gods to
    mind their own business.
SIGN    Seinan
[07:11] Nishimura's Dad
    This season's always been very eventful.
[07:15] Nishimura's Dad
    In lots of different ways, you know?
[07:23] Nishimura's Dad
    Let's keep the drama to
    the baseball games, shall we?
[07:37] Nishimura
    I'm seriously Japanese, too, after all.
[07:40] Nishimura
    But my entreaty was the extremely
    practical: "Let us win at nationals."
[07:47] Nishimura's Dad
    I see.
[07:49] Nishimura's Dad
    I was worried you were wishing
    for a date with the Tachibana girl.
[07:59] Nishimura's Dad
    Don't actually do it.
[08:01] Nishimura's Dad
    This isn't a marriage shrine, anyway.
[08:03] Nishimura
    Oh, right.
[08:05] Nishimura
    But even so...
SIGN    DRAGON
[08:18] Masaki
    If all goes well, it'll be Seinan in the semis,
[08:22] Masaki
    and Kenjo in the final.
[08:24] Masaki
    That feels like a good omen.
[08:27] Harada
    Just like it was in the year
     Meisei took the crown.
[08:31] Masaki
    Right.
[08:32] Masaki
    That year, Seinan lost in the quarters,
     so they didn't face them,
[08:37] Masaki
    but the final was against Sumi Tech,
    which is now known as Kenjo.
[08:41] Masaki
    History's repeating!
[08:46] Masaki
    Wait, did you remember that?
[08:48] Harada
    I don't remember.
[08:51] Harada
    But I have records.
[08:53] Harada
    Tachibana's father's scrapbook.
[08:58] Harada
    It chronicles that summer's
    Meisei baseball team.
[09:02] Masaki
    Oh, wow.
[09:04] Masaki
    This article really takes me back.

[09:14] Harada
    Or it feels like it should.
[09:22] Masaki
    It's really coming down.
[09:28] Masaki
    Oh, welcome!
[09:41] Masaki
    See?! Your face drove
     those customers away again!
[09:47] Harada
    That's just an excuse.
    They confused it for a ramen place.
[09:55] Underling
    The rain's coming down heavier, Big Bro!
[09:58] Takayasu
    So find one already!
[10:00] Underling
    Find what?
[10:02] Takayasu
    A coffee shop without Harada in it!
[10:08] Narrator
    And so, as the rain continued to fall,
[10:15] Narrator
    the National High School Baseball Tournament,
    East Tokyo qualifiers got underway.
[10:30] Hirayama Batter
    Heck yeah!
[10:32] Ooyama
    Man, oh man.
[10:33] Ooyama
    Waiting a whole week
    after it all kicks off...
[10:36] Ooyama
    In a way, it's tough
    for seeded schools, too, huh?
[10:41] Ooyama
    Our first opponent will be warmed-up
     and will hit us like a freight train.
[10:45] Ooyama
    But I suppose seeded schools like ours
     need a bit of a handicap, huh?
[10:52] Haruka
    I really wish you'd shut up
    about us being a seeded school.
[11:02] Ooyama
    Ah, that was close.
[11:05] Ooyama
    But of course, what should've been
    their place to shine is all muddied up.
[11:10] Haruka
    Seems like the rain will keep up
    for at least the next few days.
[11:13] Ooyama
    That's a real shame.
[11:16] Ooyama
    But those blue summer skies should be back
     by the time us seeded schools join the mix.
[11:24] Haruka
    Yeah.

SIGN    Hirayama
[12:17] Ooyama
    Well, that was a real race to the bottom.
[12:23] Haruka
    But... they're crying.
[12:27] Haruka
    Both the winners...
[12:30] Haruka
    and the losers.

    I'm back.
[15:42] Akai's Mother
    Oh, Tomo.
[15:44] Akai's Mother
    I prepared what you asked me for.
[15:48] Akai's Mother
    Check and make sure it's all there.
[15:52] Tomohito
    For the laundry.
[15:54] Akai's Mother
    Okay.
[15:56] Tomohito
    Where's Ryou?
[15:57] Akai's Mother
    He's not here.
[15:59] Akai's Mother
    He leaves early every morning
    and mostly comes home to sleep.
[16:04] Akai's Mother
    Oh, but before he goes to sleep, he takes
     a few swings with that bat in the yard.
[16:11] Akai's Mother
    He always hated being compared to you.
[16:14] Akai's Mother
    I wonder what's gotten into him lately.
[16:17] Akai's Mother
    I hope he doesn't feel outshone.
[16:21] Tomohito
    Unfortunately, there's no one there
    who will bust his chops over me.
[16:29] Tomohito
    He's my little brother.
[16:31] Tomohito
    No matter what anyone says,
[16:33] Tomohito
    and no matter how much he hates it.
[16:37] Tomohito
    He's the only little brother I have.
[16:43] Tomohito
    See you.
[16:44] Akai's Mother
    You won't rest a while?
[16:49] Tomohito
    I don't want to rest a while.
[16:52] Tomohito
    It's been too long since
    I last enjoyed baseball like this.
SIGN    Akai
[17:17] Koma
    Is it just me or does each of
    his hits fly further than the last?
[17:23] Koma
    He's the brother of that
    genius, Akai, after all.
[17:26] Koma
    Can't beat genetics.
[17:29] Nishiki
    Did you forget? Those siblings
    aren't related by blood either.
[17:33] Koma
    Oh, that's right.
[17:36] Nishiki
    You ever looked under his gloves?
[17:40] Nishiki
    He covers his hands in blisters
    doing them over and over again.
[17:45] Nishiki
    His practice swings, I mean.
[17:54] Koma
    I tend not to get blisters.
[17:57] Nishiki
    I didn't ask.
[18:00] Haruka
    Our first opponent's been confirmed, Dad.
[18:03] Ooyama
    I see.
[18:05] Ooyama
    Who is it?
[18:06] Haruka
    Hakubi High.
[18:08] Touma
    Yup, figured.
[18:09] Souichirou
    Wait...
[18:10] Touma
    What?
[18:11] Haruka
    They closed the five-run gap
     in the 8th and 9th,
[18:14] Haruka
    then got a walk-off hit in the 11th.
[18:18] Touma
    What?
[18:19] Souichirou
    They go all-in and
     never give up for a second.
[18:24] Souichirou

    Yeah, but you've got amnesia, remember?
[18:45] Harada
    Oh, I forgot.
[18:48] Harada
    So what's their deal?
[18:50] Masaki
    Well, there's nothing
    spectacular in the stats
[18:55] Masaki
    regarding their offense or pitching, but...
[18:58] Masaki
    Win or lose, all their games, including
    practice matches, have all been close.

[19:12] Masaki
    They're also passionate in their
    cleaning and volunteer activities,
[19:17] Masaki
    so they're loved by all the local vendors.
[19:22] Harada
    I don't like that one bit.
[19:24] Masaki
    Is that your opinion as a man
    hated by all the local vendors?
[19:28] Harada
    It's not that. But...
[19:31] Masaki
    But?
[19:33] Harada
    That's just the kind of team you might
    stumble against in the first round.
[19:39] Harada
