    The National High School
    Baseball Championship

    "Game 1 | 8:30 | Estimated Start Time
    Third Base Dugout | First Base Dugout

[00:05] ---
    East Tokyo Tournament.
[00:10] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[00:16] ---
    "Toushu"
[00:17] ---
    A seeded high school
    is finally making an appearance.
[00:23] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[00:26] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:29] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:32] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:35] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:38] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:40] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[01:01] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     * *
[01:07] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     * *
[01:13] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     * *
[01:19] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     * *
[01:25] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     * *
[01:31] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     * *
[01:40] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     * *
[01:46] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     * *
[01:52] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     * *
[01:59] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too

    "Game 2 | 11:00 | Estimated Start Time
    Third Base Dugout | First Base Dugout
    Seinan | Takeoka"
[02:35] ---
    Strike!
[02:40] ---
    For your reference, I'll just say this.
[02:43] ---
    We won't be facing Seinan
    unless we make it to the finals.
[02:47] ---
    Then make it to the finals.
[02:49] ---
    Keep this in mind.
[02:51] ---
    To do that, we need to defeat
    top-seeded Toushu who won
[02:51] ---
    "Game 1
    Toushu 11
    Shimosakanishi 0"
[02:55] ---
    the last game in five innings
    due to the mercy rule.
[02:58] ---
    Then defeat them.
[03:00] ---
    Well sure, that's true, but...
[03:03] ---
    Our team has too many weaknesses
    compared to a seeded team.
[03:08] ---
    I'm not telling you
    to win ten out of ten games.
[03:12] ---
    You just need to beat them once.
[03:13] ---
    It's not rock-paper-scissors. It'll be tough.
[03:17] ---
    To win by chance in a nine-inning game.
[03:23] ---
    Are you the type that
    will contradict everything I say?
[03:26] ---
    It is the catcher's job to always calmly
    judge the team's situation.
[03:34] ---
    I kind of realized this already,
    but it sounds like we can't get along.
[03:39] ---
    Huh?
[03:40] ---
    "He Reminds Me of Someone"
[03:48] ---
    Ah, now wait a minute.
[03:50] ---
    They say that with couples,
[03:52] ---
    complete opposites get along
    better than those who are alike.
[03:56] ---
    What do you mean couple?
[03:58] ---
    Relationships within the
    club are prohibited...
[04:04] ---
    "Takeoka"
    "Seinan"
[04:06] ---
    Darn it!
[04:08] ---
    I was trying for a no-hitter,
[04:11] ---
    but now it's no more than a reference record.
[04:14] ---
    Stop being so picky!
[04:16] ---
    Go out and greet the other team.
[04:18] ---
    Yeah.
[04:20] ---
    Due to the seven-inning mercy rule, Seinan!
[04:24] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:27] ---
    What?! No way.
[04:30] ---
    The game's over because
    you took your sweet time!
[04:34] ---
    But think about it.
[04:35] ---
    There's a good chance that we could meet
    Saijyou, playing the next game, in the finals.
[04:43] ---
    Well, never mind that.
[04:45] ---
    We're here, so let's find a seat.
[04:50] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[04:57] ---
    What is Nangou complaining
    to the manager about?
[05:01] ---
    Why, that's obvious.
[05:04] ---
    It's because the manager sent Souichirou
    to watch the game with Haruka.
[05:08] ---
    But that's obvious, when considering
    who's better at collecting data.
[05:13] ---
    Yeah, we're all in agreement.
[05:16] ---
    With the exception of that guy.
[05:24] ---
    "Takamidai Station North Entrance"
[05:33] ---
    They're back! Haruka and Souichirou!
[05:41] ---
    Give it a rest! How will
    we know until we try?!
[05:45] ---
    Like I said, baseball isn't a
    game of rock-paper-scissors!
[05:49] ---
    I know they're different! That's obvious!
[05:52] ---
    Then why do you keep saying
    what you can't be sure of?
[05:55] ---
    Ah! Forget it!
[05:58] ---
    If I continue talking with you,
    I may end up hating baseball.
[06:02] ---
    Hey! Wait a minute!
[06:14] ---
    What's gotten into him?
[06:19] ---
    Never mind and get changed.
[06:22] ---
    Right away.
[06:24] ---
    I've never seen that before.
[06:25] ---
    A girl being fed up with Souichirou.
[06:28] ---
    You're right.
[06:36] ---
    Are you praying for help?
[06:38] ---
    Oh! Souichirou, welcome back.
[06:42] ---
    Look! A treasure of our baseball team!
[06:45] ---
    It's the ball signed by all players
    on the national championship team.
[06:49] ---
    So, what request did you
    make to the treasure?
[06:53] ---
    The round of 16,
    or possibly the quarterfinals.
[07:01] ---
    Am I asking for too much?
[07:04] ---
    I can't believe they're father and daughter.
[07:07] ---
    Huh?
[07:16] ---
    Oh. Sorry.
[07:17] ---
    The hose was coming loose,
    so I tried to stop it.
[07:21] ---
    I can't use my left arm, after all.
[07:25] ---
    You did that on purpose.
[07:27] ---
    What are you saying?
[07:29] ---
    If I did it on purpose,
    I'd make an effort not to get myself wet!
[07:33] ---
    As a catcher, you need
    to calmly judge the situation.
[07:37] ---
    Hey!
[07:45] ---
    I can't drink so many!
[07:50] ---
    I heard you went to see
    the game of a seeded high school.
[07:53] ---
    Yeah. I thought we'd get there
    in time for the Seinan game,
[07:57] ---
    but the game ended when we arrived.
[07:59] ---
    Right. But I thought you wouldn't be facing
    Seinan unless you made it to the finals.
[08:04] ---
    You're right.
[08:06] ---
    Then we'll make it to the finals.
[08:12] ---
    But to do that, we must
    get past top-seeded Toushu...
[08:15] ---
    Then we'll defeat them.
[08:21] ---
    Touma dear! Hurry and take your bath!
[08:25] ---
    OK!
[08:28] ---
    If it's a tournament where the
    seeded schools proceed as expected,
[08:32] ---
    that wouldn't be any fun, would it?
[08:35] ---
    We'll add great excitement!
[08:38] ---
    If Meisei High School defeats Toushu.
[08:43] ---
    That's true.
[08:45] ---
    Then we face Seinan.
[08:47] ---
    You'd better be ready to face us, Nishimura.
[08:51] ---
    --Yeah, I'll be waiting.
    --Touma dear! Your bath!
[08:54] ---
    First, you get ready with a bath.
[08:57] ---
    OK!
[09:00] ---
    He's so full of promise.
[09:03] ---
    So he's also the rock-paper-scissors type.
[09:06] ---
    Huh?
[09:07] ---
    We're not alike.
[09:09] ---
    Who?
[09:11] ---
    Touma and me.
[09:13] ---
    Yeah, your personalities
    are completely different.

    Your father says he wants to fold

[10:19] ---
    I'd say I see three
    that kind of look like cranes.

    Far from one thousand, we have three cranes.

[11:03] ---
    I see. Any comments, anonymous Mr. A?
[11:07] ---
    Was the advice of Ms. Tsukikage helpful?
[11:11] ---
    "Nagisa Tsukikage"
[11:12] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[11:13] ---
    To give such a bold statement, even though
    I know little about high school baseball manga.

    --That's fine! Thank you
    very much, Ms. Tsukikage.

[11:28] ---
    Oh?
[11:30] ---
    Speaking of high school baseball,
    I trust there are passionate games
[11:33] ---
    taking place across the country today
    as teams try to make it to Koshien.
[11:38] ---
    Kiss my butt, I say.
[11:39] ---
    Huh?!
[11:40] ---
    Oh. No, I said nothing.
[11:43] ---
    Let's go to commercial!
[11:45] ---
    So, what should I have?
[11:50] ---
    I'm sorry, sir. We're closed.
[11:53] ---
    Huh?!
[11:54] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[11:54] ---
    But come on, you just opened...
[11:56] ---
    Shut up! Get lost! Now!
[11:58] ---
    "Get lost"?
[11:59] ---
    And don't come back!
[12:00] ---
    What?
[12:05] ---
    Ball!
[12:06] ---
    What's this? He's not that great.
[12:11] ---
    Have confidence.
[12:12] ---
    There's no need to be
    intimidated by a pitcher like that.
[12:16] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:17] ---
    Is the opposing manager all right?
[12:21] ---
    He's struggling to stand upright.
[12:23] ---
    That's Manager Ekoda.
[12:25] ---
    He's a great veteran, leading
    Sankou High School for over 30 years.
[12:30] ---
    The team's been to Koshien twice.
[12:33] ---
    They're a traditional high school
    posting a decent record every year.
[12:37] ---
    They're not among the seeded high schools,
[12:39] ---
    but they're said to be fielding
    the best team in years.
[12:43] ---
    They're particularly proud
    of the power of their cleanup hitter.
[12:46] ---
    Hmm...
[12:48] ---
    And who gathered that information for you?
[12:52] ---
    Huh?
[12:53] ---
    Well, excuse me.
[12:56] ---
    Ball! Ball four!
[12:58] ---
    I think the opposing manager isn't
    the only one barely standing on his feet.
[13:05] ---
    I hear he pitched an impressive game
    in his previous outing.
[13:09] ---
    Today, he seems to be struggling
    to find the plate to begin with.
[13:14] ---
    Right, Morishima?
[13:16] ---
    Oh, the name's Kondou.
[13:20] ---
    Oh! Right, of course!
    Morishima quit two years ago, didn't he?
[13:26] ---
    Actually, three years ago.
[13:30] ---
    This. And this. And this.
[13:39] ---
    Hit batsman!
[13:42] ---
    No outs, runners on first and second.
[13:45] ---
    And now their pride, the cleanup hitter.
[13:52] ---
    He's only in his first year, after all.
[13:56] ---
    His failure to properly prepare for
    a game will prove to be a good lesson.
[14:00] ---
    Right, Watanabe?
[14:02] ---
    The name's Kondou.
[14:07] ---
    I'm kidding! I'm kidding!
[14:10] ---
    Now, this is where
    we show off our lineup's hitting!
[14:14] ---
    You guys are the best
    team we've had in years.
[14:20] ---
    Have confidence.
[14:22] ---
    There's no need to be
    intimidated by a pitcher like that.
[14:26] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:30] ---
    Now, upon submitting your
    test answers, as tradition has it,
[14:34] ---
    we'll announce the
    top five students of our class.
[14:36] ---
    What?!
[14:39] ---
    How about it, Otomi?
[14:44] ---
    Well, I think I did pretty good.
[14:48] ---
    OK!
[14:51] ---
    What?
[14:58] ---
    Oh.
[15:00] ---
    She's even got bags under her eyes.
[15:03] ---
    Although I doubt there's
    anything to worry about.
[15:06] ---
    Because that person's rarely
    been in the top five until now.
[15:11] ---
    First place, Arisa Mita.
[15:13] ---
    Huh?
[15:14] ---
    Yes!
[15:19] ---
    Calm down. There's no need to stand up.
[15:23] ---
    And stop that victory pose.
[15:27] ---
    Second place, Otomi Tachibana.
[15:31] ---
    Yes!
[15:35] ---
    Why must you stand up again right now?
[15:43] ---
    Third place, Ryou Akai.
[15:46] ---
    Fourth place, Jiro Yamada.
[15:48] ---
    Fifth place, Miyuki Kashima.
[15:52] ---
    With this test, the class
    average was better than usual.
[15:54] ---
    The top three scores were
    especially very close.
[15:58] ---
    As your homeroom teacher,
    I must say I'm very pleased.
[16:01] ---
    Now, we'll continue with class.
[16:04] ---
    Who has gone right to sleep in my class?!
[16:09] ---
    It's first place Mita.
[16:11] ---
    Huh?
[16:15] ---
    That girl.
[16:17] ---
    She may be a much more
    incredible person than we think.
[16:28] ---
    Well, that's enough talk
    about a test we finished.
[16:35] ---
    Aren't you concerned about
    the game your brothers are playing?
[16:40] ---
    You didn't catch a cold today?
[16:44] ---
    I contacted the homeroom
    teacher this morning.
[16:46] ---
    He threatened to post my test score
    if I didn't come to school.
[16:51] ---
    Our teacher knew all along.
[16:53] ---
    So you're concerned about
    how the game's going, right?
[16:57] ---
    There's no need to worry about Tou today.
[17:03] ---
    Because he said his shoulder
    was feeling really light this morning.
[17:07] ---
    Huh?
[17:10] ---
    Since grade school, on game days
    he left saying stuff like that,
[17:14] ---
    he'd hardly give up any hits.
[17:19] ---
    Really?
[17:22] ---
    Ball!
[17:24] ---
    Ball four!
[17:29] ---
    Would you cut it out?! You've been
    putting runners on base every inning.
[17:33] ---
    Come on. They got on base due
    to errors in the second and fourth.
[17:37] ---
    Even that has to do with the
    lack of rhythm in your pitching.
[17:43] ---
    Thanks to that, it's even
    affecting our offense.
[17:46] ---
    We're hitting the ball well,
    but directly at someone.
[17:48] ---
    That's strange.
[17:50] ---
    I'm feeling great.
[17:54] ---
    It looks like he'll self-destruct for us.
[17:58] ---
    That pitcher.
[17:59] ---
    You're right. But...
[18:04] ---
    Ah, no, it's nothing.
[18:12] ---
    By the way, that pitcher...
[18:16] ---
    I think I've seen him somewhere.
[18:21] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[18:27] ---
    Out!
[18:30] ---
    We place runners in scoring
    position almost every inning,
[18:33] ---
    but we can't get that next hit.
[18:36] ---
    Next hit?
[18:40] ---
    We haven't had any hits yet.
[18:44] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Sankou"
[18:48] ---
    Come on, what are you worrying about?
[18:52] ---
    We have our best team in years.
[18:56] ---
    In our previous game,
    in the seventh inning...
[19:01] ---
    We had twelve hits.
[19:02] ---
    That's right! Twelve hits and nine runs.
[19:05] ---
    The teams I put together
    always focus on offense.
[19:10] ---
    I've been managing for over 30 years.
[19:13] ---
    We may have been shut out,
    but we've never lost with no hits.
[19:17] ---
    Never in a no-hitter!
[19:20] ---
    Strike!
[19:22] ---
    Huh? Did you say, never?
[19:25] ---
    Yes! If you think I'm
    lying, check the records.
[19:29] ---
    I've always had great
    confidence in my memory.

    are the best team we've had in years.
[19:55] ---
    Yes, sir!

[20:18] ---
    No need to panic.
[20:20] ---
    We can easily turn the tables in one inning.
[20:22] ---
    Have confidence.
[20:24] ---
    There's no need to be
    intimidated by a pitcher like that.
[20:28] ---
    Yes, sir...
[20:42] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[20:45] ---
    Over 30 years of managing experience.
[20:53] ---
    Strike!
[20:55] ---
    We may have been shut out,
    but we've never lost with no hits...
[21:06] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[21:08] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Sankou"
[21:08] ---
    One more out! One more out! One more out!
[21:17] ---
    "Meisei"
[21:35] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[21:40] ---
    Do you remember now?

[23:25] ---
    Hi, Otomi? What are you doing today?
[23:27] ---
    We were supposed to practice,
    but with this rain it got canceled.
[23:31] ---
    I was wondering what you're doing.
[23:33] ---
    Are you doing anything now?
[23:34] ---
    I know it's raining, but we have
    the day off, so let's go somewhere.
[23:37] ---
    It's probably too sudden. Yeah, I agree.
[23:39] ---
    --But if you're not against the idea...
    --Otomi! This call's for you!
[23:42] ---
    "On a Rainy Day Like Today"
[23:42] ---
    Huh?
[23:43] ---
    Next time, "On a Rainy Day Like Today."
[23:45] ---
    Oh, Otomi's mother? Is Otomi there?
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"
