[00:09] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[00:12] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[00:15] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[00:19] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[00:21] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[00:24] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[00:27] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[02:41] ---
    This isn't good!
[02:56] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[03:02] ---
    "You're a Pitcher, Right?"
[03:08] ---
    Thanks to our ace pitcher,
    we got out of that jam.
[03:11] ---
    He was just lucky.
[03:13] ---
    Even after that home run,
    every one of those could've been hits.
[03:17] ---
    It's a miracle that he gave up only one run.
[03:21] ---
    Are you the one behind the second
    baseman's frequent defensive shift?
[03:26] ---
    The shift was only effective
    until the previous inning.
[03:29] ---
    His ball movement and
    speed are both the worst.
[03:32] ---
    The way Nikaidou is pitching today,
    any one of our backup pitchers would do better.
[03:37] ---
    Just answer what I ask you.
[03:41] ---
    It's a brand new ball game, that's all!
[03:44] ---
    Our ace against their ace.
    The game begins here.
[03:46] ---
    Got that?
[03:47] ---
    Yes, sir!
[03:48] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[03:49] ---
    Batting fourth, Imagawa.
[03:54] ---
    Batting fifth, Koma.
[03:57] ---
    Batting sixth, Murotani.
[04:00] ---
    Three up...
[04:03] ---
    ...three down.
[04:45] ---
    What is that guy doing?
[04:48] ---
    Hurry with your warm-up pitches.
[04:59] ---
    What now?!
[05:07] ---
    Wow, I had no idea.
[05:10] ---
    When did you get remarried
    to that beautiful lady, Eisuke?
[05:13] ---
    Huh?
[05:15] ---
    Seven years ago.
[05:20] ---
    We're friends. Why didn't you let me know?
[05:26] ---
    Give me a break!
[05:27] ---
    How'd you expect me to get in
    touch with someone on the run
[05:30] ---
    who owes money to multiple sources!
[05:32] ---
    Here you are.
[05:33] ---
    I've added extra for interest.
[05:37] ---
    What have you been up to lately?
[05:39] ---
    That's a secret.
[05:41] ---
    Don't tell me this money...!
[05:42] ---
    Don't worry. It's nothing illegal.
[05:47] ---
    Is that the late husband
    of your current wife?
[05:51] ---
    Yeah.
[05:52] ---
    I've seen him before.
[05:54] ---
    It's Sawai.
[05:56] ---
    By Sawai, you mean that Sawai?
[05:59] ---
    Yeah.
[06:00] ---
    Sawai, from two grades below us.
[06:04] ---
    Having said that,
[06:05] ---
    I thought it better not to ask
    too much about her late husband.
[06:10] ---
    I learned about it after I married her.
[06:14] ---
    Oh?
[06:15] ---
    Your wife must've been surprised.
[06:18] ---
    No.
[06:20] ---
    My wife doesn't seem to
    know anything about it.
[06:25] ---
    Apparently, Sawai rarely
    talked about his high school days.
[06:31] ---
    I see.
[06:35] ---
    Well, not that I don't get how he felt.
[06:41] ---
    Oh?
[06:42] ---
    Are you leaving already?
[06:44] ---
    I bought some beer
    because I thought you'd run out.
[06:47] ---
    Oh? Really?
[06:48] ---
    In that case...
[06:50] ---
    Oops.
[06:52] ---
    Here. Take these home and drink it there.
[06:55] ---
    Oh? Why, thank you.
[07:03] ---
    "Meisei High School"
[07:05] ---
    They only made it to
    the third round this year, too.
[07:07] ---
    Yeah.
[07:09] ---
    Even after being fortunate
    to face weak opponents.
[07:15] ---
    Oh, one other thing, Eisuke.
[07:18] ---
    Huh?
[07:19] ---
    Can you lend me some money
    for my train fare home?
[07:22] ---
    Huh? How much do you need?
[07:24] ---
    Thirty thousand yen.
[07:25] ---
    What?! How far do you plan to go by train?!
[07:28] ---
    Oh. I currently live in Kyushu.
[07:31] ---
    I don't have such money!
[07:32] ---
    There's the money I returned moments ago.
[07:35] ---
    Why did you come here, then?!
[07:39] ---
    See you!
[07:41] ---
    Never come again!
[07:43] ---
    Oh!
[07:44] ---
    But return the money!
[07:49] ---
    Boy, look at the time.
[07:52] ---
    Even if I go now, the game will be over.
[07:55] ---
    He couldn't have come at
    a worse time! That dumbass!
[08:00] ---
    Mr. Ooyama, was it?
[08:03] ---
    Yeah. Gorou Ooyama.
[08:06] ---
    He used to be our captain
    back when we played.
[08:08] ---
    The sumo wrestling club?
[08:09] ---
    Baseball club!
[09:16] ---
    Argh!
[09:18] ---
    What business did that
    pitcher have taking the mound?!
[09:20] ---
    Or rather, what's that manager thinking?!
[09:23] ---
    H-Hey, Otomi...
[09:25] ---
    That man's glaring at you with a scary look.
[09:32] ---
    Blah!
[09:33] ---
    H-Hey, Otomi.
[09:40] ---
    It was a pretty good game, wasn't it?
[09:44] ---
    Yeah.
[09:45] ---
    Until moments ago.
[09:50] ---
    --Manager!
    --We're playing a game.
[09:51] ---
    If you wanna talk, do it after the game.
[09:55] ---
    Yes.
[09:57] ---
    By the beginning of the final inning,
[10:00] ---
    there was no "number 1 uniform"
    on the Meisei bench.
[10:13] ---
    Nice pitching!
[10:14] ---
    Yup. And we're done here.
[10:17] ---
    Win, and express joy to the fullest.
[10:24] ---
    Lose, and show frustration from deep within.
[10:28] ---
    That's the sort of player I wish to be.
[10:32] ---
    "Meisei"
    "Mizukami"
[10:32] ---
    OK, it's time to go home.
[11:05] ---
    Hey!
[11:06] ---
    Don't just lie there!
    How am I supposed to clean the place?!
[11:09] ---
    Stop it! You're stretching my T-shirt!
[11:21] ---
    Wanna go out for another run, Touma?
[11:23] ---
    Sure.
[11:26] ---
    If you want a workout that bad,
    why not attend practice?
[11:31] ---
    No way!
[11:32] ---
    If we met that manager now,
[11:34] ---
    who knows what we'd do?!
[11:37] ---
    Hmm... I do get how you feel.
[11:42] ---
    But what'll you do from now on?
[11:44] ---
    We've been thinking a lot about it!
[11:46] ---
    Right, Sou?
[11:47] ---
    Yeah!
[11:48] ---
    A lot about what?
[11:52] ---
    Coming!
[11:56] ---
    Good after--
[11:59] ---
    Nishimura.
[12:01] ---
    Oh, Tachibana brothers.
[12:03] ---
    I'm surprised you found out where we live.
[12:06] ---
    I asked in the neighborhood
    and found out right away.
[12:09] ---
    Home of remarried couple, each with kids.
[12:11] ---
    The two sons are in the same grade.
[12:13] ---
    They have a sister, one year younger.
[12:16] ---
    Is that girl your sister?
[12:20] ---
    Yeah.
[12:21] ---
    She's cute.
[12:22] ---
    I hear you didn't make it past
    the semifinals at the Tokyo Tournament.
[12:26] ---
    Yeah.
[12:27] ---
    We missed a chance at the
    Kanto Tournament after coming so close.
[12:30] ---
    Although the reason is very clear.
[12:33] ---
    What's the reason?
[12:34] ---
    I've never been blessed with a good catcher.
[12:39] ---
    Her name?
[12:40] ---
    Huh?
[12:41] ---
    Your younger sister.
[12:44] ---
    Otomi.
[12:45] ---
    She's cute.
[12:46] ---
    And? Why did you come to see us?
[12:48] ---
    Would you be interested
    in meeting my dad today?
[12:52] ---
    If you're serious about making it to Koshien,
[12:55] ---
    your current situation won't do!
[12:57] ---
    Seinan High School represented
    the area in the Spring Tournament.
[13:00] ---
    My dad is the current manager of the team.
[13:03] ---
    Team up with me and lets go to Koshien.
[13:05] ---
    In fact, we'll aim to be national champions!
[13:07] ---
    I have no intention of leaving Touma.
[13:10] ---
    That's perfect.
[13:11] ---
    My dad's also looking for
    a good third baseman.
[13:15] ---
    Anyway, come and take a look at Seinan.
[13:18] ---
    You'll start dreaming bigger!
[13:20] ---
    What do you think?
[13:21] ---
    Well, we have been thinking a lot about it.
[13:24] ---
    And we have nothing else to do.
[13:25] ---
    OK, then it's decided.
[13:27] ---
    Perhaps your sister would also--
[13:28] ---
    She's not going!
[13:44] ---
    What's there?
[13:46] ---
    Oh, that's Kenjyou High School.
[13:48] ---
    It used to be called Sumi Tech,
[13:50] ---
    but its name changed a few years ago.
[13:52] ---
    That's the opponent
    Meisei High School faced in the final
[13:56] ---
    the year they made it to Koshien, right?
[13:58] ---
    Though they're now no more than participants.
[14:00] ---
    Both baseball teams.
[14:04] ---
    Come on! This way!
[14:08] ---
    "Seinan High School Baseball Team"
[14:18] ---
    Excuse me!
[14:20] ---
    Is my dad... ah, is the manager around?
[14:23] ---
    Oh. He's observing the
    pitching practice area.
[14:31] ---
    Dad!
[14:32] ---
    Hm?
[14:33] ---
    Hi.
[14:35] ---
    I brought some guys today
    that I wanted you to meet.
[14:39] ---
    The Tachibana brothers of Meisei, are you?
[14:43] ---
    Huh? Do you know them?
[14:45] ---
    Coach Kamata was awfully
    enthusiastic about you.
[14:48] ---
    He had been scouting you quite a bit.
[14:50] ---
    Oh.
[14:51] ---
    I'm sorry about the summer tournament.
[14:54] ---
    The final four, was it?
[14:56] ---
    Yeah.
[14:57] ---
    Winning the Tokyo Tournament is hard.
[15:00] ---
    Although the reason is very clear.
[15:05] ---
    It was painfully clear
    at the Spring Tournament, too.
[15:09] ---
    We still don't have an
    ace pitcher or main catcher.
[15:15] ---
    Just wait two more years.
[15:17] ---
    Then, your best battery in
    Seinan's history will have arrived!
[15:21] ---
    Are both brothers coming?
[15:23] ---
    He's a great third baseman.
[15:25] ---
    --He runs fast, and his throwing arm--
    --You're a pitcher, right?
[15:32] ---
    And I hear you're as good as my son.
[15:37] ---
    Huh?
[15:39] ---
    I was told that if we got you to join Seinan,
[15:41] ---
    my son may not be able
    to wear the number 1 uniform,
[15:44] ---
    so I should pass on it.
[15:46] ---
    By whom?
[15:48] ---
    Your... Meisei's manager.
[15:52] ---
    Huh?
[15:54] ---
    Well, though I don't really
    believe anything a manager
[15:58] ---
    with no achievements or talent says.
[16:00] ---
    That manager has a really bad reputation.
[16:03] ---
    Doesn't surprise me.
[16:07] ---
    Show me a pitch.
[16:08] ---
    One pitch will be enough to tell.
[16:10] ---
    Because I have both achievements and talent.
[16:14] ---
    That's what he says.
[16:18] ---
    Can I ask you one question?
[16:21] ---
    What is it?
[16:22] ---
    Depending on talent,
[16:24] ---
    would you consider giving the
    ace number to anyone other than your son?
[16:30] ---
    Did you hear that, Takumi?
[16:32] ---
    Listen carefully!
[16:34] ---
    There's no such thing as
    a pitcher more skilled than my son!
[16:38] ---
    That's what any manager
    coaching his son would say.
[16:52] ---
    How was that?!
[16:54] ---
    Oh, just a moment!
[16:56] ---
    One more! One more pitch!
[16:58] ---
    I suggest you get a different catcher.
[17:00] ---
    Huh?
[17:03] ---
    Yamakura!
[17:04] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:28] ---
    I agree, it does appear that you need
    to address the issue about catchers.
[17:33] ---
    Right?
[17:35] ---
    Sorry, Nishimura.
[17:37] ---
    I want to see him wearing
    the number 1 uniform.
[17:41] ---
    While on the same team.
[17:43] ---
    Also...
[17:45] ---
    We've had enough with doting fathers.
[17:50] ---
    I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
    Give it up, Takumi.
[17:54] ---
    In the first place, I
    hate Meisei High School.
[17:57] ---
    I feel sick just looking at that uniform.
[18:01] ---
    Having said that, ever
    since I became manager,
[18:05] ---
    I haven't lost a single game to them.
[18:11] ---
    They've become such a pathetically weak team.
[18:15] ---
    It's a shame.
[18:18] ---
    Let's go home, Touma.
[18:20] ---
    Yeah.
[19:30] ---
    Why now, after all these years?
[19:32] ---
    I'm reminded of Uesugi
    after seeing him pitch.
[19:37] ---
    Tachibana!
[19:41] ---
    Let me say one thing!
[19:44] ---
    What is it?!
[19:48] ---
    What kanji characters are
    used in Otomi's name?
[19:59] ---
    That guy's pretty skilled.
[20:01] ---
    And his father, too.
[20:03] ---
    Yeah.
[20:04] ---
    They've become such a pathetically weak team.
[20:08] ---
    You know...
[20:09] ---
    Hm?
[20:10] ---
    It peeves me when someone else says it.
[20:12] ---
    Says what?
[20:15] ---
    When they bad-mouth Meisei.
[20:19] ---
    But I must say I was surprised.
[20:22] ---
    To hear that our manager said
    you're a better pitcher than Nishimura.
[20:26] ---
    I wonder if it's true.
[20:28] ---
    I think that would be
    the last thing he'd ever say.
[20:31] ---
    Yeah.
[20:32] ---
    It doesn't sound like words coming
    from a man trying to domesticate us.
[20:36] ---
    Well, whatever the case, that was absurd!
[20:38] ---
    The game the other day! How he managed it!
[20:41] ---
    There's no excuse for that!
    No matter how you cut it!
[20:45] ---
    I agree.
[20:46] ---
    Unless, for instance, that was
    Nikaidou's last time taking the mound.
[20:51] ---
    It is his last!
    It's his last summer in junior high!
[20:57] ---
    No.
[20:58] ---
    That's not what I mean.
[21:00] ---
    What I mean by last...
[21:16] ---
    That no-good manager of the baseball team.
[21:22] ---
    "Tachibana"
[21:47] ---
    What kind of harassment is he up to?
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:25] ---
    Spring is almost here!
[23:27] ---
    Spring means...
[23:28] ---
    Graduation ceremony.
[23:29] ---
    Rapeseed blossoms.
[23:30] ---
    Entrance ceremony.
[23:31] ---
    Butterbur.
[23:32] ---
    Cherry-blossom viewing.
[23:33] ---
    Rice cake wrapped in cherry leaf.
[23:34] ---
    Moving.
[23:35] ---
    Bamboo shoot.
[23:36] ---
    Girls' festival.
[23:37] ---
    Sumo mandarin.
[23:38] ---
    Spring Tournament.
[23:39] ---
    Spring cabbage.
[23:40] ---
    Hey, you've only mentioned food!
[23:42] ---
    "When Spring Arrives"
[23:42] ---
    Next time, "When Spring Arrives."
[23:45] ---
    Might I add, the season's first bonito?
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:48] ---
    
[23:51] ---
