    You're in a good mood.
[01:51] Eisuke
    Yes, indeed! A very good mood!
[01:54] Otomi
    As you're in such a good mood,
    could you trim the branches of our trees
[01:59] Otomi
    that are overgrowing
    into the neighbor's yard?
[02:01] Otomi
    That's what Mom said.

[02:15] Narrator
    No wonder he's in a good mood.
[02:44] Otomi
    That's a funny-looking bat.
[02:46] Eisuke
    It's a softball bat.
[02:48] Otomi
    Softball?
[02:50] Eisuke
    The kind my late wife
    used in her school days.
[02:57] Otomi
    She was a softball ace, and her high school
    team placed second at nationals, didn't it?
[03:04] Eisuke
    Yup.
[03:06] Eisuke
    She always used to say if we had a girl,
    she'd make her play softball for sure.
[03:14] Otomi
    Was she disappointed you had a boy?
[03:17] Eisuke
    Heck no.
[03:19] Eisuke
    I was just so over the moon
    about the idea of having a boy,
[03:22] Eisuke
    she wanted to push back a little.
[03:27] Otomi
    Well, good.
[03:29] Eisuke
    I doubt Touma remembers
    much about her, though.
[03:38] Eisuke
    They only had three years together, but...
[03:44] Eisuke
    What a three years full of love it was.
[03:59] Eisuke
    Sorry.
[04:03] Otomi
    Just long enough to remember the
    warmth of their back when they carried you,
[04:08] Otomi
    and the feel of their hand on your head, huh?
[04:14] Eisuke
    Yeah.
[04:16] Otomi
    I wonder if Tou's late mom
    would be surprised to see him now.
[04:21] Eisuke
    Oh, absolutely.
[04:23] Eisuke
    I mean, she'd never dream he'd...
[04:25] Eisuke
    Oh, I mean...
[04:26] Eisuke
    To be honest, we tried not
    to set our expectations too high.
[04:32] Eisuke
    I mean, he was so much like me
    in every way, ever since he was born.
[04:39] Eisuke
    But there's one big difference
    between Touma and me.
[04:45] Eisuke
    Know what it is?
[04:49] Otomi
    His looks?
[04:51] Eisuke
    No way! We look alike!
[04:54] Otomi
    Y-You think so?
[04:57] Eisuke
    I didn't have a charming little sister.
[05:03] Eisuke
    That's the only difference
    between him and me.
[05:11] Eisuke
    You really love Touma, don't you?
[05:15] Otomi
    Yeah.
[05:16] Eisuke
    Lucky little lout.
[05:21] Eisuke
    Hey, that was a great sound.
[05:24] Eisuke
    But that goes without saying!
[05:27] Eisuke
    In my high school days, I played far more
    as a pinch hitter than as a pitcher.
[05:36] Otomi
    Is that really something to brag about?
[05:42] Eisuke
    Yeah, that's the way.
[05:43] Eisuke
    What a great sound!
[05:45] Mayumi
    Well? What about the "great sound"
    of our trees being trimmed?
[05:53] Eisuke
    Right, right. On it, on it!
[05:56] Mayumi
    Will you be all right?
[05:59] Mayumi
    You look a bit unsteady on your feet.
[06:01] Eisuke
    N-Nah, it's nothing.
[06:12] Otomi
    Thank you for bringing Tou into this world.
SIGN    Punch
[06:18] Mayumi
    Are you all right, dear?
[06:30] Imagawa
    There!
[06:35] Ooyama
    It's true. His pitching form and
    the nature of his pitches are similar.
[06:42] Imagawa
    One more!
[06:47] Ooyama
    Yes, it's perfect visualization
    training for Nishimura.
[06:52] Souichirou
    Want to make them even more similar?
[06:57] Souichirou
    Natsuno, pitch from one step closer.
[07:00] Natsuno
    Gotcha!
[07:01] Natsuno
    One step closer.
[07:13] Souichirou
    That's pretty much Nishimura.
[07:15] Ooyama
    Okay, but we can't hit those at all.
[07:22] Touma
    The semifinals, huh?
[07:30] Haruka
    Yeah.
[07:32] Haruka
    For the second year in a row, in the
    nation's most competitive division, too.
[07:37] Haruka
    It's really kind of amazing.

    The undefeated ace pitches it!
SIGN    Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium
[08:37] Colorcaster
    Strike three! And that's the game!
[08:40] Colorcaster
    Incredible. He's pitched
    another nine scoreless innings,

    Starting catcher for Seinan High:

[09:22] Tadokoro
    Just so you know, your ERA isn't zero.
[09:27] Tadokoro
    Did you forget that hit and RBI
    you gave up in the fourth round?
[09:31] Nishimura
    I just relaxed 'cause we were so far ahead—
[09:35] Nishimura
    How'd you know what I was dreaming about?
[09:38] Tadokoro
    You were giving a play-by-play in your sleep.
[09:41] Tadokoro
    I wish you'd wake up earlier, though.
[09:44] Tadokoro
    The little sister of our opponent's battery
    would only root for you in your dreams.
[09:50] Tadokoro
    And she's such a cutie, too.
[09:53] Tadokoro
    You ever looked at yourself in the mirror?
[09:56] Nishimura
    You're one to talk with a face like that.
[10:00] Tadokoro
    But we won, right?
[10:05] Tadokoro
    Your father's barely sleeping.
[10:13] Tadokoro
    All night, even when
    I got up to go to the can,
[10:17] Tadokoro
    he was holed up on his own,
    studying Meisei's stats.
[10:22] Nishimura
    He's just that excited.
[10:25] Nishimura
    Did you see his face when we learned
    we'd be playing Meisei in the semis?
[10:33] Nishimura
    I haven't seen him that happy in years.
[10:39] Nishimura
    Not that it really matters to us,
[10:42] Nishimura
    but this is a special game for Dad.
[10:46] Tadokoro
    I gotta say, I like seeing the
    manager looking that happy.
[10:52] Nishimura
    Let's see it one more time by
    making that whole dream a reality.

    We can't make it all real, Tiger.

    He already headed over to the stadium.
[12:03] Otomi
    Honestly. Like it's some

[12:10] Mayumi
    Oh?
[12:13] Mayumi
    Your father forgot his cell phone.

    No worries there.
[12:48] Touma
    I slept soundly, with no time to dream.
[12:52] Souichirou
    Oh, you dreamed all right.
[12:55] Souichirou
    The thing is whether you remember
    the dreams when you wake up or not.
[13:00] Touma
    Dreams, huh?
[13:03] Touma
    I'm not gonna wake up to find out
    we lost in the first round, am I?
[13:10] Souichirou
    No worries there.
[13:12] Souichirou
    We're definitely on our way
    to the East Tokyo semifinals.
[13:19] Touma
    Good.
[13:31] Souichirou
    Baseball's the one thing
    I had total confidence in.
[13:39] Touma
    Where's this coming from?
[13:41] Touma
    Without a doubt, you're the
    first genius I ever met in my life.
[13:57] Souichirou
    Good, then.
[14:00] Touma
    What's up with this conversation?
[14:02] Souichirou
    Don't worry about it.
[14:05] Touma
    Two wins left to Koshien, huh?
[14:10] Souichirou
    Yeah. Two wins left.
[14:13] Touma
    Last year, it didn't feel real at all,
[14:17] Touma
    but this year, I feel like
    I can really see it. Koshien, I mean.
[14:22] Souichirou
    Glad to hear it.
[14:25] Touma
    Playing at Koshien, huh?
[14:27] Touma
    That'd earn a jump for joy, for sure.

    From who?
[14:35] Touma
    From everyone involved, of course.

[18:08] Nagisa
    Drinks, snacks, candy...
[18:11] Nagisa
    I'd like to watch the game on TV here again.
[18:15] Mayumi
    Pardon?
[18:16] Colorcaster
    Meisei's defense is warming up as we speak.
[18:22] Nagisa
    Until last year, I had no interest
    at all in high school baseball.
[18:29] Nagisa
    But having spent a year writing
    a novel about high school baseball,
[18:34] Nagisa
    conducting interviews,
    consulting documents...
[18:39] Nagisa
    I know more about it than most old man fans.
[18:43] Mayumi
    Goodness.
[18:46] Nagisa
    And having interviewed countless
    managers, I've come to think...
[18:51] Nagisa
    Maybe my husband isn't so bad after all.
[18:56] Nagisa
    Thinking back to all those baseball stories
    he used to tell that I just ignored...
[19:02] Nagisa
    Perhaps he was saying some
    rather meaningful things.
[19:07] Nagisa
    And as for Haruka, who was
    willing to listen to them...
[19:10] Nagisa
    Perhaps I understand how
    she ended up so obsessed with it.
[19:16] Mayumi
    My husband really loves Coach Ooyama.
[19:22] Nagisa
    Just as a drinking buddy, right?
[19:25] Mayumi
    They must've spent a wonderful
    three years together.
[19:29] Mayumi
    You can't stop them when they get
    to talking about their high school days.
[19:34] Nagisa
    High school baseball, huh?
[19:38] Nagisa
    If they make it to the final,
[19:41] Nagisa
    would you come to the ballpark with me?
[19:46] Mayumi
    Gladly.
[19:52] Colorcaster
    And so, both teams come off the benches.
[19:56] Colorcaster
    They pay their respects,
    and Meisei moves to defense.
[20:01] Colorcaster
    Taking the mound is their ace,
    Touma Tachibana.
