[00:03] ---
    "Shiraishi"
    "Meisei"
[00:14] ---
    Fair ball!
[00:18] ---
    How do you explain this?
[00:21] ---
    All borderline pitches are called balls,
[00:25] ---
    and all weakly hit balls become hits.
[00:28] ---
    Have I used up all my luck from
    the last game with that no-hitter?
[00:33] ---
    But which side is really dealing
    with bad luck, I wonder.
[00:37] ---
    You, who have been
    complaining from the beginning,
[00:40] ---
    or the team who's had four hits and
    three walks thus far, but not a single run.
[00:46] ---
    They look awfully frustrated.
[00:49] ---
    In any case, they're a team
    with no power hitters,
[00:52] ---
    who try just to put the ball in play.
[00:56] ---
    You won't be hit hard even if you
    do throw it right down the middle.
[01:00] ---
    Overpower them with your pitches.
[01:01] ---
    That's what Haruka said at the meeting.
[01:08] ---
    Huh?
[01:08] ---
    What do you mean, "huh"?
    Weren't you listening?
[01:12] ---
    When she stood up, and the
    button on her blouse came undone,
[01:15] ---
    and she spoke while grabbing onto her blouse?
[01:23] ---
    Catch a cold?
[01:24] ---
    No, I don't think so.
[01:30] ---
    It has been 30 years
    since the glory of that summer.
[01:34] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:37] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:40] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:43] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:45] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:48] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:09] ---
    I see a mirage of a faraway summer day
     * *
[02:15] ---
    Friends' voices echo
     * *
[02:21] ---
    All these people walking
    around with eyes downcast
     * *
[02:27] ---
    Were boys once too--didn't
    recognize them, did you?
     * *
[02:33] ---
    If I close my eyes tight
    on the field after the rain
     * *
[02:39] ---
    I see the same blue sky
    I lost myself in that day
     * *
[02:48] ---
    Maybe today is what I was looking at then
     * *
[02:54] ---
    The heavens so cloudless
     * *
[03:00] ---
    Versus, let's face each
    other under the same sky
     * *
[03:07] ---
    Guess what, past boy--I'm fighting hard, too
     * *
[03:32] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[03:46] ---
    That's what you should be doing, Touma.
[03:50] ---
    I was thinking so right from the beginning.
[03:53] ---
    This lineup has no power,
    so just overpower them.
[03:59] ---
    Oh? You too, I see.
[04:02] ---
    Huh?
[04:02] ---
    Yeah, you're not the former
    junior high team captain for nothing.
[04:07] ---
    Right?
[04:19] ---
    "Do You Envy Them?"
[04:28] ---
    Safe!
[04:32] ---
    Great! A double!
[04:34] ---
    Nice running!
[04:40] ---
    You could've been a top athlete
    whatever sport you selected, Ryou.
[04:45] ---
    No.
[04:47] ---
    Baseball is the one sport
    I've never had confidence in.
[04:50] ---
    What?!
[04:51] ---
    "Baseball Team"
[04:52] ---
    Here is Ichiban Natsuno of the baseball team,
    paying because he lost the challenge.
[04:56] ---
    Because I was brought up
    watching a genius from close range.
[05:00] ---
    I would call that a fortunate environment.
[05:04] ---
    I don't like to be compared.
[05:06] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[05:08] ---
    You're brothers, and you're the younger one.
[05:13] ---
    Yeah. We're brothers.
[05:17] ---
    Although he's an older brother who suddenly
    appeared before me when I was four.
[05:24] ---
    My parents are both remarried.
[05:28] ---
    What?! That's just like my parents.
    What a surprise.
[05:33] ---
    Huh? The same?
[05:35] ---
    You're kidding!
    But your brothers get along so well.
[05:39] ---
    Huh? Aren't they twins who don't look alike?
[05:42] ---
    Hey, come on!
[05:44] ---
    You didn't know all this time?
[05:46] ---
    You'd have a harder time finding someone
    around here who doesn't know.
[06:01] ---
    Out!
[06:11] ---
    Strike three! You're out!
[06:19] ---
    Wait, is this team really Meisei High School?
[06:24] ---
    "Meisei Alumni"
[06:24] ---
    I figured the no-hitter was a fluke,
[06:27] ---
    so I came in just for the fun of it.
[06:30] ---
    But the opponent hasn't had a
    decent hit against him in this game, either.
[06:34] ---
    That tenth grader.
[06:37] ---
    Yeah.
[06:38] ---
    And that hard-throwing catcher batting third.
[06:41] ---
    He's caught all three
    attempted steals against them.
[06:44] ---
    This brother battery is really something!
[06:48] ---
    Hey, did you know?
[06:50] ---
    Those brothers who work well together
    are actually not blood relatives.
[06:55] ---
    Get real. Of course I know.
[06:59] ---
    Yeah. They live across
    the street from the school,
[07:02] ---
    and their parents are both remarried, right?
[07:05] ---
    Everyone knows it.
[07:07] ---
    There isn't a single person living
    in the area who doesn't know.
[07:13] ---
    "Shiraishi"
    "Meisei"
[07:19] ---
    You won't find her
    if you keep looking over there.
[07:25] ---
    Otomi... is over there.
[07:34] ---
    She's on loan to the brass band
    and is currently performing.
[07:49] ---
    Well? Do you envy them? Mr. Soccer Team?
[07:54] ---
    Currently in Japan, there is no bigger summer
    event than the high school baseball tournament.
[08:01] ---
    Yeah.
[08:08] ---
    I envy them.
[08:10] ---
    But don't start telling me now
    that you want to begin baseball.
[08:14] ---
    I've never once had confidence
    when it comes to baseball.
[08:19] ---
    Yeah, I heard that.
[08:21] ---
    But... the other day,
[08:24] ---
    I did beat the ace pitcher and cleanup hitter
    of the junior high team in a baseball challenge.
[08:29] ---
    Y-You fool!
[08:30] ---
    I was facing 130 kph pitches and
    you had the handicap of facing 100 kph pitches!
[08:35] ---
    But...
[08:38] ---
    It gave me confidence.
[08:39] ---
    Don't tell me...
[08:46] ---
    I'm kidding.
[09:03] ---
    "Shiraishi"
    "Meisei"
[09:23] ---
    Out!
[09:24] ---
    Stop unnecessarily prolonging the scene.
[09:30] ---
    He follows up his no-hitter with a shutout!
[09:33] ---
    Nice pitching! Nice game!
[09:36] ---
    What's so nice about it?
[09:38] ---
    Given how Touma pitched today,
    it's almost a miracle that they didn't score.
[09:44] ---
    Yeah, I guess you're right.
[09:46] ---
    Also that we benefitted from the fact every
    move their manager made worked against them.
[09:51] ---
    It was Souichirou's leading that resulted
    in every move working against them.
[09:55] ---
    We were only charged with one error,
    an area we were particularly worried about.
[10:00] ---
    We made five mistakes in offense and
    defense that will go unnoticed in the books.
[10:06] ---
    Good! You're observing
    what needs to be observed!
[10:12] ---
    Good boy.
[10:13] ---
    Hey, stop that.
[10:31] ---
    Really.
[10:34] ---
    I envy them.
[10:48] ---
    "Meiji Jingu Second Stadium"
[10:51] ---
    Over there. That guy, and that guy.
[10:55] ---
    And I see that guy often, too.
[10:58] ---
    Oh?
[11:00] ---
    Are they all alumni of our school?
[11:03] ---
    I'd say probably.
[11:05] ---
    Hey!
[11:07] ---
    That man with the funny hat and sunglasses
    has been known for coming since long ago.
[11:12] ---
    Oh?
[11:13] ---
    He usually watches quietly from a corner,
[11:17] ---
    but he was uncharacteristically excited
    during that no-hitter the other day.
[11:21] ---
    I'd think anyone would
    get excited about that game.
[11:25] ---
    I wonder if it's not getting
    in the way of his work.
[11:29] ---
    Well, I'm sure he's got time on his hands.
[11:31] ---
    It would be difficult
    for a regular office worker.
[11:37] ---
    I agree.
[11:50] ---
    I'm no one suspicious.
[11:55] ---
    I'm home!
[11:57] ---
    Hi there.
[11:58] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[12:00] ---
    Boy, it is so hot.
[12:03] ---
    I was outside making the rounds
    all day today. I thought I'd die.
[12:10] ---
    Do you want to take a bath first?
[12:13] ---
    Yeah. I think I'll do that.
[12:15] ---
    Aren't you going to ask?
[12:18] ---
    Huh?
[12:19] ---
    The game results.
[12:21] ---
    Oh! Yes, of course!
[12:25] ---
    My mind was on work,
    so I completely forgot.
[12:28] ---
    So, how did it go?
[12:30] ---
    We won.
[12:31] ---
    Oh! Is that right?!
[12:34] ---
    So we won the game three to nothing!
[12:39] ---
    Don't you get fired from work.
[12:43] ---
    Huh?
[12:48] ---
    Wow, that brings back memories.
[12:51] ---
    That was your Father's
    Day present to your dad
[12:53] ---
    from when you were in
    grade school, right? That hat.
[12:58] ---
    And these sunglasses
    were a present from Sou and Tou.

    Oh, this feels so good!

    Huh? Not really.

[13:48] ---
    "Meisei High School"
    "Champions on their first appearance!!"
[13:50] ---
    They're in the round of sixteen
    for the first time since that year.
[13:55] ---
    The nostalgic Meisei High School name
    gradually becomes the talk of the town,
[14:00] ---
    and excitement continues to build daily.
[14:04] ---
    School representatives begin to get restless,
[14:06] ---
    "We can do this! Koshien"
    "Meisei High School Alumni Association"
[14:07] ---
    and the alumni get ahead of themselves.
[14:23] ---
    What do you think?
[14:25] ---
    About what?
[14:27] ---
    We've only won three games.
    People are getting too excited.
[14:32] ---
    Not to mention, the average
    age of spectators seems high.
[14:36] ---
    Our school has many fans
    aside from our alumni.
[14:41] ---
    Because I hear the team got the
    entire nation excited the year they won.
[14:46] ---
    What happened way back
    then has little to do with us.
[14:50] ---
    It's true that from this point on,
    all teams we face will be top level.
[14:55] ---
    The excessive expectations
    become nothing but pressure.
[14:58] ---
    That's not what I mean.
[15:01] ---
    The excitement should start
    after we defeat Toushu!
[15:07] ---
    And when we beat Seinan in the final,
    the drama will reach its climax!
[15:12] ---
    And then it'll reach maximum excitement!
[15:15] ---
    Where does that incomprehensible
    confidence of yours come from?
[15:20] ---
    How could I have any confidence?
    We have no experience, after all.
[15:26] ---
    I just think it would be
    so much fun if it happened.
[15:29] ---
    That's correct!
[15:32] ---
    That's it. It all starts there.
[15:35] ---
    Come on. Wait a minute.
[15:37] ---
    This is the game Toushu played yesterday.
[15:41] ---
    It's a video of the game aired on TV.
[15:43] ---
    Thank you.
[15:44] ---
    We've got to face Houkaidai Sankou first!
[15:48] ---
    What are you saying? If we beat them
    and win the game after that,
[15:52] ---
    we'll be facing Toushu in no time.
[15:54] ---
    In no time?
[15:56] ---
    Guys like you who only look at
    their next step when walking
[15:59] ---
    will end up hitting a telephone pole.
[16:01] ---
    What's with that example?!
[16:06] ---
    Should you be laughing?
[16:09] ---
    You can't tell if a persimmon's
    bitter just from its looks.
[16:15] ---
    What's with that example?

    Oh my. Who is this man standing here?
[19:15] ---
    Hi.
[19:16] ---
    Koma? What are you doing here?
[19:20] ---
    Well, you see,
[19:22] ---
    there are so many spectators,
    I can't get a break.
[19:27] ---
    As things were, I was about
    to pass out from lack of oxygen.
[19:30] ---
    So you're skipping practice.
[19:32] ---
    I prefer the term "taking a break."
[19:34] ---
    Not that I care, but what's with your outfit?
[19:39] ---
    I can't exactly wander
    about here in my uniform,
[19:43] ---
    so this is my disguise.
[19:45] ---
    You seem to be quite used
    to taking so-called breaks.
[19:49] ---
    What?! Ryou's older brother?!
[19:51] ---
    Oh. We're back to that topic.
[19:57] ---
    So that's Ryou's brother, who isn't related
    by blood, who is Kenjo's cleanup hitter,
[20:01] ---
    and who Ryou doesn't get along with.
[20:04] ---
    Oh? Is that so? I didn't know all of that.
[20:08] ---
    What's he doing with Arisa?
[20:11] ---
    And since when?
[20:13] ---
    I'll go and ask.

    Huh?

    Right.

    My dad asked to get one each
    of this morning's sports papers.
[20:41] ---
    Your dad must be thrilled.
[20:43] ---
    Thrilled is an understatement.
[20:46] ---
    He was going nuts late into the night.
    Talk about disrupting the neighborhood.

    Your dad's not the only
    one going nuts, is he?

    You're right about that.
[20:59] ---
    If we win the next game,
    then it's Toushu, right?
[21:01] ---
    That's right.
[21:07] ---
    Aren't things going a little too well?
[21:11] ---
    Yeah, now that you mention it,
[21:14] ---
    developments like this
    are good reason to be cautious.
[21:17] ---
    Because...
[21:22] ---
    You fool! Do you want to die?!
