SIGN    ~ Our Second Summer, Beyond the Sky ~
[01:45] Narrator
    The East Tokyo Championship final.
SIGN    Natsuno
SIGN    Tachibana T
[02:22] Souichirou
    Don't wave.
[02:25] Souichirou
    That wasn't some great play.
    You were just slow to start running.
[02:30] Souichirou
    Focus on the game.
SIGN    Kenjo
SIGN    Meisei
SIGN    1st
SIGN    2nd
SIGN    3rd
SIGN    4th
SIGN    5th
SIGN    6th
[02:46] Touma
    Let me pitch.
[02:51] Ooyama
    You can't hold off the Kenjo
    order in your current state.
[02:55] Ooyama
    Those aren't my words.
[02:57] Ooyama
    That's what Souichirou said.
[03:01] Ooyama
    The guy who knows you better than anyone.
[03:06] Touma
    But if I take the mound, they might be
     all sympathetic and go easy on me.
[03:14] Touma
    The Kenjo order, I mean.
[03:20] Ooyama
    Is that what you want?
[03:24] Ooyama
    Is that the game you want your father to see?
[03:56] Touma
    Seems like you're the same as ever.
[04:01] Souichirou
    It's not my first time losing a father.
[04:09] Souichirou
    And...
[04:12] Souichirou
    It's not like he was my real father.
[04:25] Umpire
    Three outs! Change!
[04:32] Souichirou
    It's time, Natsuno.
[04:34] Natsuno
    Uh, right.
[04:45] Umpire
    Play ball!
SIGN    DRAGON
[04:58] Ooyama
    Natsuno pitched really well.
[05:01] Masaki
    Yeah.
[05:03] Masaki
    That Kenjo order got double digit hits,
     but only scored three runs in nine innings.
[05:09] Masaki
    That's amazing work.
[05:12] Ooyama
    Natsuno pitched really well.
[05:21] Ooyama
    But we lost.
SIGN    Kenjo
SIGN    Meisei

SIGN    8th
SIGN    9th
[05:27] Ooyama
    I didn't shed a single tear, though.
[05:31] Ooyama
    I'd cried 'em all out the day before.
[05:40] Ooyama
    I think I might've been the one
    least focused on the game.
[05:47] Ooyama
    Right, shop master?
[05:49] Masaki
    Don't "Right, shop master?" me.
[05:52] Masaki
    You haven't ordered anything!
    You're drinking beer you brought in!
SIGN    DRAGON
[05:58] Ooyama
    I've been drinking so much lately that Haruka
    finally had enough and banned it last week,
[06:04] Ooyama
    so I can't drink at home.
[06:06] Masaki
    I don't care!
[06:07] Ooyama
    Oh, come on!
    There's no need to shout so loud!
[06:11] Haruka
    Same to you, Dad.
[06:15] Ooyama
    Oh, shop master.
[06:17] Ooyama
    Could I have a coffee?
[06:18] Haruka
    Oh, honestly. You're really
    going to ruin your health.
[06:22] Ooyama
    Forgive me, daughter!
[06:24] Ooyama
    I'll cut back after
    the 49-day mourning period.
[06:27] Ooyama
    So please... I promise!
[06:29] Haruka
    "Cut back"? Not "quit"?
[06:32] Ooyama
    Please understand.
[06:35] Ooyama
    I have to drink.
[06:49] Haruka
    But...
[06:50] Haruka
    Touma and the others can't drink.
[06:53] Haruka
    I wonder what they should do.
[07:01] Masaki
    Speaking of which...
[07:05] Masaki
    He's the only one left now.
[07:09] Masaki
    The only one in that house
    not related by blood.
[07:16] Otomi
    Tou's not back yet?
[07:19] Mayumi
    Oh, he called earlier.
[07:22] Mayumi
    He's over at Mr. Harada's.
[07:26] Otomi
    Mr. Harada's?
[07:28] Otomi
    Oh, right, right. That Mr. Harada.
[07:32] Souichirou
    I'm hungry.
[07:33] Souichirou
    Let's eat already.
[07:35] Otomi
    Hey, Sou!
[07:39] Souichirou
    Did you make this gyoza, Otomi?
[07:43] Otomi
    Not just the gyoza.
[07:46] Otomi
    The beef and potato stew, the boiled
    spinach in soy sauce, and the pork miso.
[07:51] Mayumi
    Thank you.
[07:53] Mayumi
    Otomi's been such a big help.
[08:02] Souichirou
    Maybe we should wait
    till Touma gets back, then.
[08:07] Otomi
    Hey, hold up! What are you implying there?
[08:10] Souichirou
    Oh, nothing.
[08:12] Otomi
    No, come on, tell me!
[08:14] Mayumi
    Now, now...
[08:22] Touma
    I'm back.
[08:31] (Flashback) Eisuke
    Um, excuse me!
[08:34] (Flashback) Eisuke
    I think I might be lost.
[08:38] (Flashback) Eisuke
    Which way is it to Koshien again?
[08:42] (Flashback) Eisuke
    Oh, it's that way? Thanks so much.
[08:46] Touma
    No...
[08:50] (Flashback) Eisuke
    Gotta go!
[08:51] Touma
    It's not that way!
[08:53] Touma
    Don't go!
[08:55] Touma
    Come back!
SIGN    Meisen Silk
     from Isesaki
SIGN    Meisen Silk
     from Isesaki
[09:04] Teacher
    No, you come back to geography class.
[09:08] Touma
    Understood.
[09:21] Nikaidou
    Well? How's your ace been?
[09:26] Imagawa
    Same as ever.
[09:30] Imagawa
    Though, since it's a new team,
    I've only looked in now and then.
[09:35] Imagawa
    But his pitching's as good as ever.
[09:38] Nikaidou
    I see.
[09:40] Imagawa
    Sorry I couldn't keep my promise
    to take us to Koshien.
[09:45] Nikaidou
    You never made a promise like that.
[09:49] Imagawa
    Wait, I didn't?
[09:51] Nikaidou
    You don't have anyone to
    apologize to. Hold your head high.
[09:56] Nikaidou
    Is Souichirou the new captain?
[09:59] Imagawa
    Yeah.
[10:00] Imagawa
    Though, he's essentially been
    the captain this whole time.
[10:06] Nikaidou
    Yeah, I suppose.
[10:08] Imagawa
    You didn't have to agree.
[10:12] Nikaidou
    If that hadn't happened...
[10:16] Nikaidou
    Just...
[10:20] Nikaidou
    "If only," you know?
[10:38] Otomi
    Can I help you?
[10:42] Arisa
    It's nothing.
[10:44] Otomi
    Did I look down?
[10:48] Arisa
    Why would I care?
[10:58] Komiyama
    Rain, huh?
[11:10] Narrator
    The quarterfinals of Koshien.
[11:13] Narrator
    From the very start of the match,
    the rain poured down.
[11:24] Narrator
    An error by the shortstop slipping in
    the mud resulted in Kenjo giving up the lead.
[11:32] Narrator
    Trailing by that run, it was Kenjo
    to bat at the top of the eighth.
[11:36] Narrator
    One out, runners on first and second.
SIGN    Hayashi
SIGN    Akai
SIGN    Yamada
[11:50] Narrator
    Just then...
[11:57] Komiyama
    Whoops.
[11:58] Komiyama
    Sorry.
[12:01] Komiyama
    Keep practicing.
[12:03] Players
    Yes, sir.
[12:10] Hayashi
    Poor thing.
[12:11] Hayashi
    This bucket gets kicked every time it rains.
[12:16] Kita
    "If only," you know?
[12:19] Yamaji
    Well, it's a damn frustrating way to lose.
[12:23] Hayashi
    Yeah, it's a hell of a way to lose.
[12:26] Kita
    You idiots. As if there's
    a non-frustrating way to lose.
[12:30] Kita
    Right, Akai?
[12:43] Akai
    Yeah.
[12:46] Akai
    If losing at baseball doesn't frustrate you,
     you're better off not playing.

[13:11] Club
    See you later!
[13:13] Club
    Good work.
[13:13] Club
    Later!
[13:20] Touma
    Sou!
[13:22] Touma
    I'm gonna go hang out at Koma's for a bit.
    Let Mom know I won't be back for dinner.
[13:30] Souichirou
    Want us to make you
    some rice balls, at least?
[13:32] Touma
    Nah, we're gonna get ramen.
[13:35] Touma
    Well, later. Let's go, Koma.
[13:38] Koma
    Sure thing.
[13:41] Touma
    Hey, Haruka. Later.
[13:43] Koma
    Later.
[13:44] Haruka
    Great work today.
[13:57] Haruka
    Well, that's good to see.
[14:00] Haruka
    Seems like he's as cheerful as ever.
[14:02] Haruka
    Good to see.
[14:04] Souichirou
    No.
[14:07] Souichirou
    He's not the same as ever.
[14:11] Souichirou
    If he was,
[14:12] Souichirou
    he wouldn't have forgotten
    that today is Mom's birthday.
SIGN    Meisei High School
[14:27] Narrator
    When it was "just one more" until Koshien
    for the Meisei High baseball club,
[14:35] Narrator
    one street away...
SIGN    Punch
[14:43] Souichirou
    Otomi.
[14:45] Souichirou
    He's gonna be late if you don't wake him up.
[14:51] Otomi
    Oh, you're right.
[14:58] Otomi
    Tou—
[14:59] Otomi
    Oh, oh, oh!
[15:02] Touma
    What are you doing?
[15:05] Otomi
    I came to wake you up
    so you wouldn't oversleep!
[15:09] Otomi
    You'd better hurry or you'll be late.
[15:17] Touma
    Oh, right. Thanks.
[15:28] Souichirou
    You'd better eat that up quick.
[15:30] Touma
    You can go on without me.
[15:33] Souichirou
    Yeah, that was the plan.
[15:36] Souichirou
    Let's go, Otomi.
[15:42] Otomi
    See you later, Tou.
[15:44] Touma
    Later.
[15:57] Mayumi
    Oh. Would you like more coffee?
[16:00] Touma
    No, I'm fine.
[16:01] Mayumi
    All right. Then, I'll go do the laundry.
[16:34] Narrator
    That day...
[16:37] Narrator
    he collapsed in the Jingu Stadium bathroom.
[16:45] Narrator
    And then...
[16:51] Narrator
    Because he wasn't carrying
    any form of identification,
[16:56] Narrator
    the family only learned
    about it that evening.
[17:06] Narrator
    The cause of death was a heart attack.
[17:11] Narrator
    His yearly company physical
    always came back with nothing amiss.
[17:16] Narrator
    He was the picture of health
    for a middle-aged man.
[17:20] Touma
    So what the hell happened?
[17:29] Touma
    Oh.
[17:40] Haruka
    Touma's been late a lot lately.
[17:44] Souichirou
    Dad's been showing up in his dreams,
     meaning his sleep's been restless.
[17:49] Souichirou
    He was moaning in his sleep again last night.
[17:53] Haruka
    Is he okay?
[17:54] Souichirou
    Dunno.
[17:56] Souichirou
    I mean, it's not my job to worry about him.
[18:03] Otomi
    No problem!
[18:13] Teacher B
    What's no problem, Miss Tachibana?
[18:18] Otomi
    No problems? You don't
    need to go see the nurse?
[18:22] Teacher B
    Okay, let's start class.
SIGN    DRAGON
[18:30] Editor
    So what now?
[18:35] Editor
    Going to play dumb again?
[18:37] Adachi
    What do you mean, "again"?
[18:40] Editor
    As in, "A second time. Repeatedly."
[18:44] Adachi
    Oh, well...
[18:48] Adachi
    I'm not really sure.
[18:51] Editor
    You're just playing dumb, right?
[18:53] Adachi
    What do you mean, "just"?
[18:56] Editor
    As in, "Simply put.
    When it comes down to it."
[19:06] Harada
    This shop never gets any
    respectable customers, does it?
[19:11] Masaki
    You're one to talk!
[19:25] Nishiki
    Why do you look so disappointed?
[19:31] Natsuno
    Oh, it's just...
[19:33] Natsuno
    I thought it might be my chance
    to steal the ace's number.
[19:41] Natsuno
    He really is something else.
[19:44] Nishiki
    There's no need to rush. Next autumn,
    you'll be wearing the ace's number for sure.
[19:51] Natsuno
    Yup. It's just a good thing
    we're not in the same grade.
[19:57] Ooyama
    Souichirou!
[20:16] Ooyama
    Okay, pitch away!
[20:18] Touma
    What about Souichirou?
[20:20] Ooyama
    I asked him to coach
    the prospective catchers.
[20:27] Ooyama
    We've gotta train up a backup catcher.
[20:31] Ooyama
    Just in case something happens to Souichirou.
[20:35] Touma
    That's asking for trouble.
[20:41] Ooyama
    Yeah, you're right.
    That's not like me, is it?
[20:46] Ooyama
    Your father often said to me...
[20:50] Ooyama
    "Your greatest weapon is
    your boundless optimism."
[20:57] Ooyama
    All right, I get it.
[20:59] Ooyama
    Let's forget that.
[21:01] Ooyama
    What am I saying, "just in case"?
    That's asking for trouble.
[21:05] Ooyama
    Hey, Souichirou! Get back here!
[21:10] Touma
    Um, that's not what I meant.
[21:20] Touma
    Is our manager okay?
[21:23] Haruka
    He's just not used to his
    sudden alcohol-free life yet.
[21:29] Haruka
    It's okay. It'll be back in time
     for the fall tournament.
[21:33] Haruka
    His personality and his alcohol.
[21:35] Touma
    Fall tournament?
[21:38] Haruka
    Yeah. Fall tournament.
[21:45] Touma
    Oh, right. The fall tournament.
[23:22] Narrator
    The season is fall.
[23:24] Narrator
    Little by little, bit by bit...
[23:28] Narrator
    To fill the void, they reach out to
    each other. Call out to each other.
[23:34] Narrator
    Because that's what it means to be human.
