[00:00] ---
Meisei High School
[00:03] ---
and their one and only trip to Koshien
[00:06] ---
where they became national champions.
[00:09] ---
But we'll put that aside.
[00:11] ---
We'll focus on the Junior
High School for now.
[00:16] ---
What a beautiful day.
[00:19] ---
I hope you're having a great day, too.
[00:23] ---
What was that about?
[00:26] ---
It has been 30 years
since the glory of that summer.
[00:29] ---
The Meisei baseball team
that became champions
[00:32] ---
on their first tournament is returning.
[00:36] ---
Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:38] ---
these brothers and
their younger sister have adventures
[00:41] ---
in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:44] ---
Their goal is the same:
Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:39] ---
Ball!
[02:40] ---
Four balls!
[02:43] ---
"Pitcher: Nikaidou" "Grade: Nine"
[02:47] ---
"Third Baseman: Touma
Tachibana" "Grade: Eight"
[02:48] ---
He's run out of stamina again.
[02:54] ---
Two outs! Two outs!
[02:54] ---
"First Baseman: Imakawa"
"Grade: Nine"
[02:56] ---
"Team Name | 1 | 2 | 3 |
4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
[02:56] ---
"Kitamiya"
"Meisei"
[02:57] ---
A practice game against Kitamiya Junior High.
[03:01] ---
Top of the fifth inning,
two outs, bases loaded.
[03:06] ---
"Catcher: Souichirou"
"Grade: Eight"
[03:16] ---
Seriously?
[03:25] ---
Three outs! Change sides!
[03:28] ---
"The Heck with Meisei High School"
[03:34] ---
Nice catch.
[03:35] ---
I was just lucky.
[03:37] ---
Goodbye, manager.
[03:39] ---
Yeah. You pitched well. Good job.
[03:47] ---
Good job? Come on,
we're still in the fifth inning.
[03:51] ---
No sweat. It's just a practice game.
[03:56] ---
Now, time to bring in the
team's pride, our relief pitchers.
[04:01] ---
"Kousaku Koma"
[04:08] ---
Where are you going?
[04:09] ---
To the toilet.
[04:10] ---
It's unlikely I'll be hitting this inning.
[04:21] ---
Oww...
[04:23] ---
Watch where you're going!
[04:25] ---
Cut that out!
[04:29] ---
You're Tachibana,
the third baseman, aren't you?
[04:31] ---
That play a moment ago was impressive.
[04:34] ---
I thank you on behalf of my son.
[04:37] ---
Thank you.
[04:38] ---
The baseball team OB Chairman.
[04:41] ---
Father of our ace pitcher.
[04:43] ---
We're going.
[04:46] ---
Yes, sir!
[04:51] ---
He's come here to see a game like this?
[04:53] ---
Presidents must have nothing to do.
[04:57] ---
And in the final inning...
[05:01] ---
"Pitcher: Yasuno"
"Grade: Nine"
[05:13] ---
Out!
[05:14] ---
Game over!
[05:16] ---
"Total"
[05:17] ---
In junior high, games generally
go for seven innings. Or so they say.
[05:21] ---
"Kitamiya"
"Meisei"
[05:23] ---
That was a great practice game,
for both our defense and offense.
[05:37] ---
Tachibana.
[05:38] ---
Yes?
[05:39] ---
Older brother.
[05:41] ---
Yes?
[05:42] ---
A girl by the name of
Itou is waiting outside.
[05:45] ---
Itou?
[05:46] ---
Ah... Asako Itou...
[05:49] ---
Oh, right.
[05:53] ---
Touma. Tell Mom I won't be home for dinner.
[06:00] ---
You need to warn him.
[06:03] ---
Huh?
[06:04] ---
If guys who are already
popular start hitting on girls,
[06:08] ---
that becomes a problem for other guys!
[06:11] ---
If Souichirou does as he wishes,
things will get out of hand!
[06:15] ---
This won't end well!
[06:16] ---
I've heard that line somewhere.
[06:18] ---
Tou!
[06:22] ---
Is the game over?
[06:24] ---
Stop calling me Tou!
[06:28] ---
Oh, Koma. Long time no see.
[06:31] ---
Otomi.
[06:32] ---
So? How'd you do today?
[06:36] ---
Two for four. One RBI.
[06:39] ---
How did Sou do?
[06:41] ---
Two for three. One RBI.
[06:45] ---
Which means...
[06:46] ---
Overall, Touma, you're hitting .368.
[06:50] ---
Sou is hitting .382.
[06:53] ---
Sou has increased his lead over you again.
[06:56] ---
Like I've said, I really should be...
[06:58] ---
Yeah, yeah. I know.
[07:02] ---
I'll add your pitching stats too,
starting this autumn.
[07:06] ---
Oh, which reminds me--
[07:08] ---
Koma. You hit a home run today, didn't you?
[07:12] ---
Were you watching?
[07:14] ---
That's so flattering.
[07:16] ---
Every other at bat,
you struck out on three pitches.
[07:21] ---
No need to give out
unnecessary information, young man.
[07:25] ---
I'm glad to see you guys made up.
[07:27] ---
Bye.
[07:30] ---
Made up?
[07:33] ---
Were we fighting about something?
[07:35] ---
I dunno.
[07:37] ---
In any case,
[07:38] ---
she gets cuter every time I see her. Otomi.
[07:42] ---
Oh! Of course!
[07:45] ---
No matter how cute she is,
Otomi's safe, unlike the other girls.
[07:49] ---
She's the one and only girl
[07:52] ---
that your womanizer brother can't hit on.
[07:54] ---
That's obvious!
[07:56] ---
Oh! Senior Tachibana!
[07:59] ---
Did Otomi happen to come this way?
[08:03] ---
Have you seen my sister?
[08:05] ---
I haven't.
[08:07] ---
Huh? That's strange.
[08:11] ---
Competition is going to become intense.
[08:15] ---
Huh?
[08:17] ---
Of course. You have the right to compete.
[08:21] ---
Huh?
[08:22] ---
Cut out that nonsense!
[08:25] ---
Want me to fight you for real?!
[08:45] ---
Be quiet!
[08:46] ---
I'm not interested in my sister's underwear!
[08:51] ---
"Taking a bath
Do not peek!"
[08:52] ---
She was in elementary school
until just a month ago.
[08:57] ---
Don't expect me to peek! You fool!
[09:03] ---
What in the world are you doing?
[09:10] ---
You're confusing things by posting this sign!
[09:12] ---
The sign's for when Otomi is in!
[09:14] ---
Oh? Is that so? So sorry.
[09:21] ---
Why don't you take Sou's bat to him, too?
[09:25] ---
He's fooling around with a girl.
[09:27] ---
He won't be home for...
[09:31] ---
Here.
[09:32] ---
Thank you.
[09:42] ---
And to think you've been brothers for years.
[09:48] ---
I thought it again during today's game.
[09:50] ---
Our baseball team will become pretty strong.
[09:55] ---
By making you our ace pitcher
[09:56] ---
and maintaining the other pitchers properly.
[10:00] ---
Yeah.
[10:03] ---
But...
[10:05] ---
What'll you do if you're still
stuck at third come autumn?
[10:10] ---
That manager may do just that.
[10:13] ---
He plans to domesticate us.
[10:16] ---
Also...
[10:18] ---
Even in high school, he'll
be on the team again.
[10:21] ---
His father's influence on
Meisei High School is huge.
[10:26] ---
Actually, he may even hire that
manager to take over the high school--
[10:31] ---
Stop it, already.
[10:33] ---
Don't worry about it.
[10:35] ---
I don't plan on being with him for that long.
[10:38] ---
Meisei's not the only school
with a baseball team.
[10:41] ---
But it's the school your dad went to.
[10:43] ---
Yeah.
[10:45] ---
Because of it, I've been forced
to root for it as long as I can remember.
[10:49] ---
And every time, I'm shown
a game where they lose bad.
[10:53] ---
Honestly, I don't really care.
[10:56] ---
I have no preference for it other
than the fact it's only a minute away.
[11:02] ---
I see.
[11:03] ---
OK. Choose any high school.
[11:07] ---
But you'd better take responsibility.
[11:10] ---
You're the one who made me a catcher.
[11:14] ---
Yeah.
[11:15] ---
I won't make you regret it.
[11:19] ---
OK! I'm done!
[11:23] ---
"Taking a bath"
[11:23] ---
This one's for me.
[11:27] ---
Right? No reason to really care about it.
[11:29] ---
Meisei High School.
[11:30] ---
"Taking a bath"
[11:31] ---
You're right. No reason to care.
[11:46] ---
National Junior High School
Hard Rubber Ball Baseball Tournament.
[11:50] ---
National Juniors for short.
[11:52] ---
In Tokyo, the tournament begins with
preliminaries, divided into twelve blocks.
[11:59] ---
By the way, the Meisei
Junior High Baseball Team
[12:01] ---
"Nakaizumi"
"Meisei"
[12:02] ---
hasn't been past this stage
for about 20 years now.
[12:08] ---
You're out!
[12:11] ---
National Juniors, preliminary
round, game one.
[12:15] ---
What are you trying to do?
You're swinging too hard.
[12:18] ---
Well, you see. I was hoping
we could finish this match
[12:22] ---
before our beloved ace pitcher leaves.
[12:26] ---
"Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7"
[12:26] ---
"Nakaizumi"
"Meisei"
[12:26] ---
Lead by ten or more runs
by the end of the third inning
[12:29] ---
or by seven or more runs by the end of the
fifth inning, and the mercy rule goes into effect.
[12:32] ---
Apparently.
[12:39] ---
An inside-the-park home run!
[12:42] ---
You can round the bases easily!
[12:44] ---
Don't be so sure.
[12:54] ---
Safe!
[12:57] ---
"Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
| 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Total"
[12:57] ---
"Nakaizumi"
"Meisei"
[12:58] ---
Eight to one, fifth inning
mercy rule, Meisei wins!
[13:02] ---
That was a great sprint, as always.
[13:05] ---
Shut up.
[13:07] ---
If you would put your heart into it,
there are easier ways to win.
[13:14] ---
"Team Member A: No Uniform
Number" "Grade: Eight"
[13:15] ---
Good job, Mr. Nikaidou.
[13:17] ---
"Team Member B: No Uniform
Number" "Grade: Eight"
[13:17] ---
Yes, good job.
[13:19] ---
--You were great again today.
--That type can be seen everywhere.
[13:21] ---
--You were awesome.
--That type can be seen everywhere.
[13:23] ---
To them, it could be the
quickest way onto the team.
[13:28] ---
You can't be serious.
[13:29] ---
If it becomes too rotten,
it's time to reconsider.
[13:34] ---
Because then this isn't
where you two should be.
[13:40] ---
Good! We've made it past the first game!
[13:43] ---
But why is he playing third base?
[13:46] ---
Pardon?
[13:46] ---
According to you, Otomi,
Touma's a great pitcher, right?
[13:50] ---
No! A Super-great pitcher!
[13:53] ---
Then why?
[14:00] ---
You will find out soon enough.
[14:03] ---
For sure.
[14:05] ---
You're Otomi Tachibana, right?
[14:09] ---
Would you mind taking a picture with me?
[14:13] ---
Me too, me too.
[14:14] ---
Huh?
[14:15] ---
Touma!
[14:16] ---
Huh?
[14:17] ---
Take Otomi and go home first.
[14:20] ---
She's surrounded by bad pests over there.
[14:23] ---
Oh, Seniors, I'll help you!
[14:27] ---
I'll take care of this pest.
[14:29] ---
Now go!
[14:30] ---
R-Right.
[14:31] ---
Excuse me, big brother.
[14:37] ---
What is it with the popularity
of both you and Sou?
[14:42] ---
We're cheerful, friendly,
[14:44] ---
and have lovable personalities.
[14:47] ---
Ugh!
[14:49] ---
If so, it's thanks to you, Tou.
[14:52] ---
I used to have a different
personality, right?
[14:59] ---
I wonder.
[15:01] ---
I don't remember all that well.
[15:07] ---
I'm home!
[15:17] ---
That's what I think!
[15:20] ---
The rain is so noisy.
[15:22] ---
Huh? Ah, did you not hear me?
[15:26] ---
I heard you. I understand
what you're trying to say.
[15:33] ---
What's that?
[15:35] ---
Resignation in writing.
[15:36] ---
I never said a single word
about wanting to resign!
[15:40] ---
You don't like the way I do things, right?
[15:44] ---
I'm only asking, aren't
things a little bit odd?
[15:49] ---
Do you find it only a little bit odd?
[15:51] ---
Huh?
[15:52] ---
Life is full of good
and bad luck from time to time.
[15:56] ---
You'll just need to give up, thinking
you got stuck with a lousy manager.
[16:01] ---
If you can't do that...
[16:06] ---
So did you submit your resignation?
[16:09] ---
There's no way I would
quit the baseball club!
[16:11] ---
I'm Ichiban Natsuno!
Ace pitcher of the summer!
[16:14] ---
I'll take the mound of Koshien!
[16:16] ---
Whatever.
[16:18] ---
Well, if push comes to shove,
you can always change schools.
[16:21] ---
Not a chance!
[16:22] ---
Besides, I now have another destiny.
[16:27] ---
I will throw while Otomi Tachibana performs
[16:29] ---
in the background
from Koshien's Alps Stands.
[16:34] ---
The team's brass band doesn't play
when the team is playing defense.
[16:40] ---
What I wanna know is, what about those two?
[16:43] ---
Hm?
[16:44] ---
Should they remain in Meisei?
[16:50] ---
As you see, many topics surround the
Meisei Junior High School baseball club.
[17:02] ---
"No. 6 | Second Baseman:
Muroya" "Grade: Nine"
[17:32] ---
You're out!
[17:37] ---
Yeah!
[17:39] ---
Somehow...
[17:41] ---
One way or another...
[17:43] ---
"Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7"
[17:43] ---
"Meisei"
"Sakanishi"
[17:44] ---
Finding ways to get it done...
[17:50] ---
Congratulations on getting
to the block representative final!
[17:54] ---
You can almost smell the Tokyo Tournament.
[17:57] ---
The first time in 20 years.
[17:59] ---
I wonder.
[18:01] ---
Take today's game. We totally lucked out.
[18:05] ---
But although the opponent tied us,
we never let them take the lead.
[18:10] ---
If you hadn't led the game,
we would've been blown out.
[18:12] ---
That's it!
[18:13] ---
Huh?
[18:15] ---
Where?
[18:18] ---
He hardly ever shakes off pitches I call.
[18:22] ---
Odd, don't you think?
[18:24] ---
Not really.
[18:25] ---
He doesn't have enough
pitches to give him the luxury
[18:29] ---
of shaking them off.
[18:31] ---
Well, whatever the case,
[18:34] ---
he does show great determination
in the most crucial times.
[18:39] ---
Enough to scare you.
[18:42] ---
If so, he needs to take practice seriously!
[18:46] ---
He's always leaving early.
[18:48] ---
Couldn't agree more.
[18:50] ---
OK, replies have been sent.
[18:52] ---
That must be a lot of work.
[18:55] ---
It's about time you got
yourself a smart phone.
[18:58] ---
I don't need one. It'll be a drag.
[19:00] ---
I get asked frequently
from girls how to reach you.
[19:04] ---
Oh?
[19:06] ---
Yeah. A number of girls have asked me, too.
[19:09] ---
Go right ahead. Make fun of me, will you?
[19:12] ---
I'm telling the truth.
[19:15] ---
You're quite popular, Tou!
[19:17] ---
And imagine if they found out
about the pitching talent you're hiding.
[19:21] ---
Why, the entire school--
[19:23] ---
What do you want me to do?
[19:26] ---
Punch's vaccination.
[19:28] ---
Help me take him to the animal hospital.
[19:31] ---
You're more accustomed to Punch than Sou is.
[19:34] ---
That's because he only plays with girls!
[19:39] ---
Have fun at the vet.
[19:52] ---
Ace, huh?
[19:59] ---
--We're home.
--We're home.
[20:01] ---
Welcome home.
[20:04] ---
Did Otomi go to the animal hospital?
[20:06] ---
Yeah. Just moments ago,
with Punch and Touma.
[20:10] ---
Oh? I'll get dinner ready right away.
[20:14] ---
Sou!
[20:16] ---
Why don't we play catch
while dinner's being prepared?
[20:26] ---
It's not like you've given up yet, right?
[20:29] ---
Huh?
[20:30] ---
Pitching.
[20:32] ---
In little league, you two were
always competing to be the ace pitcher.
[20:37] ---
There's no way I can throw
a ball as fast as Touma does.
[20:40] ---
It's not just about the fastball, is it?
[20:43] ---
The art of pitching?
[20:45] ---
Not to mention, he's my son.
[20:48] ---
Me, a backup pitcher at best.
[20:51] ---
I envied Touma.
[20:54] ---
Huh?
[20:55] ---
You played catch with him
since he was three, I hear.
[21:00] ---
Yeah. But you, too, right?
[21:04] ---
Not at all.
[21:06] ---
My late father bought me a baseball glove,
[21:09] ---
but he would only watch
me play with the ball.
[21:15] ---
Although he did look happy doing so.
[21:19] ---
He told me himself
that he was lousy at baseball.
[21:25] ---
Mayumi!
[21:27] ---
Yes?
[21:31] ---
Dinner's not ready yet, is it?
[21:34] ---
Of course not!
It's not like I'm making instant noodles!
[21:38] ---
Didn't think so.
[23:24] ---
Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
Tou, do you know what a "trade" is?
[23:27] ---
Oh, like what's popular?
[23:29] ---
That's a trend.
[23:30] ---
That hairstyle?
[23:31] ---
You mean dreads?
[23:32] ---
Hardly moves.
[23:33] ---
A droid!
[23:34] ---
In music?
[23:34] ---
Do re do!
[23:35] ---
Strong winds.
[23:36] ---
Tornado!
[23:37] ---
Sweet and sour.
[23:38] ---
Marmalade!
[23:38] ---
Deck of cards!
[23:39] ---
Spades!
[23:40] ---
Soccer.
[23:40] ---

[23:41] ---
Oh, boy.
[23:42] ---
"I Want a Trade"
[23:43] ---
Next time, "I Want a Trade."
