* Incidentally, at this year's Koshien,*
* the team representing East Tokyo, Toushu,*
***SIGN*** Kogakukan
***SIGN*** Toushu
**[00:06] Narrator**
* faced tournament favorites from the west,*
* Osaka Kogakukan, in the first round.*
**[00:11] Narrator**
*The game, considered by many
to be that year's* true *final,*
**[00:15] Narrator**
*was every bit as exciting as anticipated.*
**[00:17] Narrator**
* Toushu's ace, Mita, held Kogakukan's order*
* to three hits and no walks,*
**[00:24] Narrator**
*but one unlucky run sealed their fate.*
**[00:28] Narrator**
* Kogakukan would go on to win the rest*
* of their games with double-digit hits,*
**[00:33] Narrator**
* breezing through the rest of the tournament*
* and securing the championship flag.*
**[00:40] Narrator**
* Indeed, it was that first-round game*
* that determined the eventual victor.*
**[00:49] Otomi**
I saw Mita crying.
**[00:52] Touma**
Where'd you see that?
He wasn't crying at all.
**[00:55] Souichirou**
Yeah, Mita has a lot more
baseball ahead of him.
**[01:01] Souichirou**
He's already over it
and focusing on the future.
**[01:07] Otomi**
I didn't mean him.
**[01:10] Otomi**
I meant the Mita in the Alps stands.

**[02:59] Arisa**
Sorry, sorry!
**[03:01] Arisa**
Could you bring that back up?
**[03:05] Natsuno**
It's a new term,
but she hasn't changed one bit.
**[03:10] Otomi**
Maybe she has. She missed me
by a pretty wide margin.
**[03:15] Natsuno**
Probably a fluke.
**[03:16] Otomi**
Nah. If she'd wanted to hit me,
she wouldn't have missed.
**[03:19] Otomi**
She's Hiroki Mita's little sister, remember.
**[03:30] Otomi**
Where are you going, Akai?
**[03:38] Ryou**
Oh, whoops.
**[03:40] Otomi**
Something on your mind
first thing in the morning?
**[03:43] Ryou**
Oh, no, I just spaced out.
**[03:46] Natsuno**
Y'know, lately, you've been...
**[04:10] Natsuno**
Well, not that I care.
**[04:18] Otomi**
Here.
**[04:20] Arisa**
Thanks a lot.
**[04:22] Otomi**
Did you have fun at Koshien?
**[04:26] Arisa**
Wha?
**[04:27] Otomi**
You went, right? To cheer on your brother?
**[04:29] Arisa**
As if I'd ever go to that sweltering place.
**[04:33] Otomi**
Oh, but—
**[04:35] Arisa**
Get it through your head!
I don't care about baseball!
**[04:40] Arisa**
Oh, Akai! Good morning!
**[04:43] Arisa**
Here. A souvenir from my summer
vacation trip. It's a sport towel.
**[04:47] Ryou**
Oh, thanks.
**[04:49] Natsuno**
That towel clearly has
"Koshien" written on it.
**[04:57] Otomi**
She said she wasn't there, so...
**[05:00] Otomi**
Maybe I imagined them...
**[05:04] Otomi**
Those tears.
***SIGN*** Meisei High School
**[05:22] Touma**
Trip up on some shrine steps again?
**[05:31] Nishiki**
Leave me alone.
**[05:37] Touma**
Suit yourself.
**[05:39] Haruka**
Hey, come on.
**[05:41] Haruka**
We'll never learn anything
if you don't grill him a little.
**[05:46] Touma**
You say that,
**[05:47] Touma**
but at least we now know he isn't in a
downward spiral over getting rejected.
**[05:53] Touma**
And while his face is in bad shape,
**[05:56] Touma**
his body's more toned than
it was before summer break.
**[06:01] Haruka**
Think he's been working out
on those shrine steps?
**[06:03] Touma**
Maybe.
**[06:08] Touma**
What the hell was that for?!
**[06:10] Haruka**
He's telling you to get a grip.
**[06:13] Touma**
Why do we have so many
tight-lipped characters?!
**[06:21] Imagawa**
Sounds to me like
Nishiki's still picking fights.
**[06:25] Touma**
You're sure he's the one picking them?
**[06:28] Touma**
It definitely looks like
he's been punched in the face,
**[06:33] Touma**
but I didn't see any marks on his knuckles.
**[06:37] Touma**
Plus, I've been thinking...
**[06:41] Imagawa**
About what?
**[06:42] Touma**
About him hitting Coach Kuroyanagi
before he quit in junior high.
**[06:47] Touma**
Back then, I thought
about it every day myself.
**[06:50] Touma**
Slugging the old man and quitting, I mean.
**[06:56] Souichirou**
Same here.
**[07:00] Imagawa**
Hey now...
**[07:01] Imagawa**
Hang on a minute.
***SIGN*** Regulation Baseball Club
**[07:04] Imagawa**
What are you implying here?
**[07:16] Taguchi**
He's a stubborn one, ain't he?
**[07:22] Delinquent A**
Oh, please. A couple more beatings,
and he'll change his mind.
**[07:27] Delinquent A**
If he thinks he can cut all ties
with us that easy, he's dead wrong.
**[07:33] Delinquent A**
Okay. Let's get ahead of him
and ambush him at the shrine.
**[07:37] Delinquents**
Right.
**[07:39] Nikaidou**
I wouldn't do that.
**[07:44] Narrator**
*Daisuke Nikaidou.*
**[07:46] Narrator**
* He's a year older than Touma and*
* Souichirou and goes to the same school.*
***SIGN*** Daisuke

**[07:50] Narrator**
* Despite his love of baseball, he was*
* forced to stop playing due to his health.*
**[07:56] Delinquent A**
Nikaidou?
**[07:57] Nikaidou**
You can see how serious he is, can't you?
**[08:02] Delinquent A**
And how's that any business of yours?
**[08:04] Delinquent A**
Buzz off!
**[08:06] Nikaidou**
It *is* my business, because I'm the
reason he fell in with your gang.
**[08:13] Delinquent A**
Huh?
**[08:13] Nikaidou**
Taguchi. Maekawa.
**[08:17] Nikaidou**
You do realize that your fathers' standings
are at the mercy of my father, don't you?
**[08:24] Delinquents**
H-Hey...
**[08:26] Delinquent A**
You bastard! That's dirty!
**[08:30] Nikaidou**
Have you forgotten?
**[08:32] Nikaidou**
I use any means at my disposal.
**[08:35] Nikaidou**
That's the kind of man I've always been.
**[08:40] Nikaidou**
Never go after Nishiki again.
**[08:43] Nikaidou**
Got that?
**[08:44] Delinquent A**
Shut up! You can't go lecturin' *us*!
**[08:54] Nikaidou**
Didn't I just say?
I use *any* means at my disposal.
**[09:01] Nikaidou**
See you.
**[09:02] Nikaidou**
We have an accord. Stick to it.

**[09:44] Imagawa**
Touma's pitching, huh?
**[09:47] Imagawa**
That's what inspired you
to come back to baseball?
**[09:52] Nishiki**
I've always been a big fan
of the Tachibana brothers.
**[09:56] Nishiki**
Since long before I quit the club.
**[10:02] Imagawa**
Once your face is all healed up,
you can come to practice.
**[10:06] Nishiki**
Oh, but it might happen a few more times...
**[10:12] Imagawa**
I doubt it will.
**[10:14] Imagawa**
You won't be falling down any more steps.
**[10:48] Souichirou**
Did you hear about Nishiki?
**[10:51] Touma**
Yeah.
**[10:52] Touma**
Nikaidou stepped in, apparently.
**[10:56] Souichirou**
I heard he'd felt bad
about Nishiki for a while.
**[11:00] Souichirou**
Seems the reason he snapped
and hit the manager
**[11:03] Souichirou**
was because his constant requests
for you to pitch were ignored.
**[11:11] Touma**
I really should've been the one to slug him.
**[11:17] Touma**
I made Nishiki waste two years of his life.
**[11:21] Souichirou**
Nikaidou wanted to keep playing, too.
**[11:26] Touma**
Yeah, I guess.
**[11:29] Otomi**
Just like our father did.
**[12:02] Souichirou**
Yeah.

**[12:49] Touma**
Boy, oh boy.
**[12:50] Touma**
Yep, he's one heck of a player.
**[12:53] Souichirou**
Yeah.
**[12:54] Souichirou**
And I think he's getting his rhythm back.
**[12:56] Ooyama**
Too slow!
**[12:59] Ooyama**
Don't you know what month it is?!
**[13:03] Touma**
Um...
**[13:06] Ooyama**
It's November! November!
**[13:10] Ooyama**
It's November, and the fall
tournament's already over!
**[13:13] Imagawa**
Goodness gracious, time sure flies by!
**[13:16] Ooyama**
Stop talking like an old man!
**[13:20] Ooyama**
You guys talked him up,
so I used him to shore up our defense,
**[13:25] Ooyama**
but he was a sieve!
**[13:27] Souichirou**
Well, we did say he'd been out
of the game for two years.
**[13:31] Souichirou**
It's your own fault for expecting too much.
**[13:34] Imagawa**
And it's not like defense
was our only problem.
**[13:36] Imagawa**
Our ace didn't put in his
best performance, either.
**[13:41] Touma**
Yeah, I just felt really tired for some reason.
**[13:44] Touma**
I always perform well in the summer heat,
**[13:47] Touma**
but I guess exhaustion
catches up to me in the fall.
**[13:50] Ooyama**
Are you an old man, too?!
**[13:53] Ooyama**
What I'm saying is you should've
done this, and this, and that...
**[13:57] Koma**
Is that old guy okay?
**[14:00] Koma**
He's ignoring his own lapses in judgment
and shifting the blame onto everyone else.
**[14:04] Koma**
We won't make it to Koshien
with a manager like that.
**[14:10] Nangou**
How dare you badmouth our manager!
**[14:16] Koma**
Get your dirty face away from me!
**[14:21] Ooyama**
What are you doing? Stop that right now.
**[14:24] Koma**
He just grabbed my uniform for no reason.
**[14:28] Ooyama**
Were you badmouthing me?
**[14:29] Koma**
Oh, um... You heard that?
**[14:32] Ooyama**
Nangou.
**[14:34] Ooyama**
Don't make me say it again.
**[14:36] Ooyama**
I'm not the great man or the
great manager you take me for.
**[14:41] Koma**
See?
**[14:43] Ooyama**
Not *yet*.
**[14:45] Koma**
Your nose is running, Manager.
**[14:48] Ooyama**
It's because of this sudden cold snap.
I've been under the weather since yesterday.
**[14:55] Ooyama**
Imagawa!
**[14:57] Ooyama**
Follow this training regimen for now.
**[15:00] Ooyama**
I'm feeling feverish,
so I'm heading home to rest.
**[15:03] Imagawa**
Take care.
**[15:07] Koma**
If the school is serious
about getting to Koshien,
**[15:11] Koma**
they need to find us a proper manager.
**[15:18] Koma**
What is it *now*, you big jerk?!
**[15:18] Nishiki**
Should I break it up?
**[15:20] Touma**
Nah. If you step in,
it'll just make things worse.
**[15:20] Nangou**
I told you not to badmouth him!
**[15:23] Koma**
And I don't care!
**[15:24] Touma**
Anyway, don't worry.
They're just messing around.
**[15:25] Nangou**
What did you say?!
**[15:31] Imagawa**
This notebook is amazing.
**[15:35] Imagawa**
It has details on every single club member,
**[15:38] Imagawa**
and a custom training regimen for each.
**[15:44] Imagawa**
Could it be... that he's actually...
**[15:48] Souichirou**
I believed in him from the start.
**[15:52] Imagawa**
Liar.
**[15:54] Souichirou**
He might have fallen on the leanest of times,
**[15:57] Souichirou**
but he's still Haruka's father.
**[16:04] Imagawa**
Nothing "lean" about him.
**[16:30] Haruka**
It's pretty lonely in here
with all the seniors gone.
**[16:33] RG Advisor**
It really is.
**[16:35] RG Advisor**
But now that you're back,

**[17:13] Tsukikage**
We're separated, but yes.
**[17:16] Otomi**
I read your *Team Gessan* series!
**[17:18] Otomi**
It was great!
**[17:20] Tsukikage**
That's unusual. Children your age
rarely read novels these days.
**[17:25] Mayumi**
This is perfect, though.
**[17:26] Mayumi**
Otomi, you know more about baseball
and your brothers than I do.
**[17:30] Mayumi**
Help her with her story, would you?
**[17:32] Otomi**
Story?
**[17:33] Editor**
She will be writing a short story
about high school baseball.
**[17:39] Otomi**
Then, you should talk to Coach Ooya—
**[17:41] Tsukikage**
I have little interest
in an old man's stories.
**[17:44] Tsukikage**
My inspiration for taking on this assignment
**[17:46] Tsukikage**
is that I think modeling it on your brothers
could lead to something interesting.
**[17:52] Otomi**
I'm surprised you want to
write about sports, though.
**[17:55] Editor**
It's a sign of Ms. Tsukikage's superlative
talent! She can write any genre!
**[18:01] Tsukikage**
You're my editor.
You're supposed to be more critical.
**[18:04] Editor**
R-Right.
**[18:06] Otomi**
So what's the hardest genre to write?
**[18:09] Tsukikage**
Let's see...
**[18:12] Tsukikage**
Romcoms, perhaps.
**[18:16] Tsukikage**
It seems like anyone should be able to write
them, but they're actually quite complex.
**[18:21] Tsukikage**
It's a miracle to see any writer
last for decades writing romcoms.
**[18:25] Tsukikage**
I truly admire people like that.
**[18:27] Tsukikage**
From the depths of my heart.
**[18:30] Tsukikage**
Yet if their stories are even a *little* similar,
people say they have a "formula,"
**[18:35] Tsukikage**
or their characters are all the same.
**[18:37] Tsukikage**
They'll nitpick the writer to death,
even though they're dead wrong!
**[18:40] Mayumi**
Excuse me...
**[18:42] Mayumi**
I'm not sure who's on the line,
**[18:45] Mayumi**
but they're saying, "Give it a rest."
**[18:49] Tsukikage**
Oh. I see.
**[18:55] Tsukikage**
Mrs. Tachibana! I'd like one more!
**[19:00] Mayumi**
Help yourself.
**[19:02] Souichirou**
A visitor?
**[19:03] Touma**
And a pretty rowdy one at that.
**[19:06] Tsukikage**
Ah! The Tachibana brothers are here!
**[19:09] Tsukikage**
Yay!
**[19:11] Tsukikage**
I've been waiting! What took you so long?

Hey!
**[19:21] Tsukikage**
You brothers! Quit standing around
and come serve your guest!
**[19:28] Souichirou**
R-Right away.
**[19:31] Souichirou**
They have different surnames.
Are they officially divorced?
**[19:35] Otomi**
It's just her pen name. As a writer.
**[19:37] Touma**
A writer?
**[19:41] Otomi**
Honestly. You don't read
prose at all, do you, Touma?
**[19:45] Otomi**
You're manga or nothing.
**[19:48] Touma**
Manga isn't nothing!
**[19:50] Touma**
Manga and anime are Japan's
cultural ambassadors to the world!
**[19:55] Otomi**
Sure, sure.
**[19:56] Touma**
Male-oriented romcom manga in particular—
**[19:57] Otomi**
You're gonna make the phone

**[20:02] Touma**
Hm?
**[20:04] Souichirou**
Here you are, Haruka's mom.
**[20:07] Tsukikage**
Yes.
**[20:07] Tsukikage**
Although, you boys sure are unlucky!
**[20:12] Tsukikage**
Stuck with that louse as a
manager at a time like this!
**[20:16] Souichirou**
Not at all.
**[20:18] Souichirou**
Meisei's rather famous for
its bad luck with managers.
**[20:23] Souichirou**
Don't worry on our account, Haruka's mom.
**[20:29] Tsukikage**
What a nice boy!
**[20:31] Touma**
Like husband, like wife.
