    Koshien
    Meisei High Baseball Team
[01:32] Narrator
    A practice game between Meisei High
    School and Kaiou Nishi High School.
[01:40] Narrator
    Another run for Meisei.
[01:47] Narrator
    It's the top of the fifth. Kaiou Nishi to bat.
[01:57] Umpire
    Strike!
[02:02] Umpire
    Strike two!
[02:06] Umpire
    Strike! You're out!
[02:06] Ooyama
    Nice pitching.
[02:10] Haruka
    Dad... Whoops. Coach!
SIGN    Kaiou Nishi Manager
[02:14] Haruka
    The other team's manager is on the line.
[02:17] Haruka
    He says, "How long are
    you gonna let him pitch?"
[02:21] Ooyama
    How dare you ask me that?!
[02:22] Ooyama
    It was you who got mad at me for resting
    Touma in last summer's quarterfinals,
[02:26] Ooyama
    and insisted on an honest,
     no-holds-barred duel today!
[02:29] Ooyama
    You can't just back out now!
[02:33] Haruka
    He hung up.
[02:36] Umpire
    Strike! Out!
[02:38] Ooyama
    In your face.
[02:40] Haruka
    Still, on top of all the strikeouts,
    he's had five infield outs.
[02:43] Haruka
    Not a single ball has
    made it into the outfield.
[02:46] Ooyama
    That's because of that
    idiotic manager's stupid pride.
[02:49] Ooyama
    His lineup could be good
     if they played with freedom,
[02:52] Ooyama
    but he's putting unnecessary pressure on them.
[02:54] Ooyama
    Trying not to piss him off,
    they're getting all tense and panicking.
[02:57] Ooyama
    And Souichirou's game-calling
    is toying with them.
[03:01] Haruka
    He must be pretty upset
    about last year's loss, huh?
[03:04] Ooyama
    Yeah.
[03:06] Ooyama
    We were resting our ace pitcher, and went
    into the bottom of the ninth three down,
[03:09] Ooyama
    when their ace pitcher pulled a
    muscle and gifted us the walkoff.
[03:13] Ooyama
    As the manager of a prestigious team,
    it must've been humiliating.
[03:16] Ooyama
    Not that it's my problem.
[03:21] Haruka
    Hello?
[03:23] Haruka
    The other team's manager says:
SIGN    Kaiou Nishi Manager
[03:25] Haruka
    "Next inning, let's have an honest,
    no-holds-barred duel
[03:28] Haruka
    between our number two pitchers."
[03:33] Ooyama
    Just ignore him.
SIGN    Tachibana
[03:35] Nishimura
    He saved Otomi's life?
[03:38] Nishimura
    Just who is this guy?
[03:40] Mayumi
    Well, about that...
[03:44] Mayumi
    Oh, is the game over?
[03:46] Harada
    No, but your son is done
    pitching for the day.
[03:52] Harada
    Hey. What's your name?
[03:55] Nishimura
    Um... Nishimura. Why?
[03:58] Harada
    Nishimura?
[04:02] Nishimura
    Wh-What of it?
[04:05] Harada
    That's a very unremarkable name.
[04:07] Nishimura
    Hey, lay off!
[04:08] Harada
    Ma'am, do you have a baseball glove?
[04:10] Mayumi
    Oh, the house is full of them.
[04:14] Harada
    Can you play catch?
[04:17] Nishimura
    Uh, pardon? Who do you
    think you're talking to?
[04:21] Nishimura
    I'm Takumi Nishimura,
    Seinan High's ace pitcher!
[04:24] Harada
    I don't care.
[04:26] Harada
    Come along now.
[04:30] Nishimura
    All right, here we go!
[04:32] Harada
    Give me your best shot!
SIGN    Punch
[04:43] Nishimura
    What the hell are you doing?!
    You can't just dodge them!
[04:47] Harada
    Oh. Right.
SIGN    Punch
[05:06] Harada
    Doesn't seem right.
[05:09] Nishimura
    Hang on! What about the ball?
[05:12] Harada
    Just go next door and get it back.
[05:15] Nishimura
    But, uh, didn't you hear something break?
[05:18] Harada
    Most things can be resolved with an apology.
SIGN    Punch
[05:23] Harada
    I thought I might've played
    baseball in school, but seems not.
[05:30] Mayumi
    Doesn't look like it, no.
[05:34] Umpire
    Ball.
[05:36] Narrator
    Reliever: Natsuno, tenth grade.
[05:39] Narrator
    After getting one out,
    he's given up a series of walks.
[05:43] Souichirou
    Like I told you last inning,
    don't let so many runners on base.
[05:48] Souichirou
    You're being too calculating.
[05:50] Souichirou
    Your pitches are sharp today.
    You don't have to paint the corners.
[05:54] Souichirou
    They won't get any long hits,
     so go aggressive.
[05:57] Natsuno
    I don't want short ones, either.
[05:59] Natsuno
    We're on a no-hitter here.
[06:03] Souichirou
    Listen, man.
    No one's expecting that from you.
[06:06] Souichirou
    What's a combined no-hitter matter in
     a practice game? It won't be made official.
[06:12] Natsuno
    It will be. In my memory.
[06:15] Natsuno
    And...
[06:17] Natsuno
    I'm sure it'd make Otomi happy if I did.
[06:25] Souichirou
    Fine. Paint the corners.
[06:28] Souichirou
    But if anyone gets a hit, I'm talking to
    the manager and getting you swapped out.
[06:33] Natsuno
    Right!
[06:35] Ooyama
    What do you think of that number two pitcher?
[06:39] Touma
    His face seems easy to draw.
[06:42] Ooyama
    Hm?
[06:42] Touma
    Oh, nothing.
[06:43] Touma
    Seems the batters are more
    relaxed than when facing me,
[06:46] Touma
    and they can see the pitches a bit easier.
[06:49] Ooyama
    Well, he is a first-year pitcher
    with no accomplishments to his name.
[06:53] Touma
    This lineup might get pretty crazy, then.
[07:07] Conductor
    How was that?
[07:08] Conductor
    Sir?
[07:09] Conductor
    Mr. Senbongi?
[07:11] Senbongi
    Huh? Oh, right.
[07:13] Senbongi
    Sounded fine to me.
[07:17] Senbongi
    You were playing so well, you almost
    pulled me into the land of dreams.
[07:22] Senbongi
    Wow, look at the time.
[07:24] Senbongi
    Let's stop there and meet again on Monday.
[07:31] Yoshiko
    It's like he doesn't care.
[07:33] Saitou
    Well, he's our advisor while
    Tsuda's out for childcare leave.
[07:37] Senbongi
    Oh, right. Yokoyama. Saitou.
[07:39] Saitou
    Huh?
[07:40] Senbongi
    You should take better care
    of your instruments.
[07:44] Saitou
    Gulp.
[07:45] Senbongi
    See you.
[07:47] Otomi
    Seems he's got a good ear, at least.
[07:48] Yoshiko
    I wonder about that.
[07:55] Natsuno
    Heck yeah!
[08:00] Haruka
    A-A no-hitter?
[08:02] Touma
    Technically.

[08:16] Narrator
    His final line: no hits, one error,

[08:21] Narrator
    The runs came from two runners
    walked home and one sacrifice fly,

    Homeless through and through, huh?
[09:00] Touma
    Where'd the tent come from?

[09:48] (Flashback) Touma

    Lose what?
[10:00] Otomi

[10:04] Touma
    Oh, yeah. Did the police ever look into him?
[10:08] Otomi
    Yeah. There's no missing persons
    notices or arrest warrants out for him.
[10:13] Otomi
    Dad would like to become his guarantor
    and stop by the hospital periodically, but...
[10:19] Touma
    Really?
[10:21] Touma
    No arrest warrants, huh?
[10:23] Touma
    Too bad.
[10:28] Otomi
    It's rare to see you sleeping in so late, Sou.
[10:32] Souichirou
    My head's killing me.
[10:33] Touma
    You just overslept.
[10:35] Souichirou
    Where's the medicine?
[10:37] Otomi
    On the way!
[10:38] Touma
    Ah, leave him. That's a waste of good drugs.
[10:43] Souichirou
    We got any drugs that can shut him up?
[10:46] Otomi
    Sadly, no.
[10:48] Souichirou
    I'm a little dizzy, so I'm gonna go lie down.
[10:52] Otomi
    I hope Sou's okay.

[11:19] Otomi
    I can make you some coffee.
[11:21] Harada
    There's more to a coffee shop
     than just drinking coffee.
[11:24] Otomi
    Excuse me?
[11:27] Harada
    Step through the door that separates you
    from the bustling city, and time slows down.
[11:32] Harada
    The unobtrusive music, the aroma
     of the coffee, and a silent barista.
[11:38] Harada
    Unlike at a bar,
    there's no shouting or arguments.
[11:42] Harada
    One man reads a newspaper, another
     a book, and another draws a manga draft.
[11:49] Harada
    That comforting atmosphere
    can't be found anywhere else.
[11:53] Harada
    It's been metropolitan culture across the
    Meiji, Taisho, Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.
[12:00] Harada
    Times change! It's a culture that
    will disappear if you don't protect it!
[12:05] Harada
    And being protected is what makes it culture!
[12:08] Otomi
    Um... who are you speaking for?
[12:15] Harada
    Dunno.

[19:23] Underling
    Ten against one? That doesn't seem fair.
[19:26] Takayasu
    Idiot! This is the Shohei
    Harada we're talking about!
[19:29] Underling
    Seriously, I don't know who that is.
[19:31] Takayasu
    Hey, Yasu? It's been a while. It's me.
[19:34] Soccer Club
    Meisei! Meisei!
[19:37] Soccer Club
    Fight! Fight!
[19:38] Arisa
    Tamura! Don't lag behind!
[19:41] Tamura
    Show some respect!
    I'm your senior, remember?
[19:44] Arisa
    Then you'd better set a
    better example for your juniors!
[19:47] Juniors
    Yeah!
[19:49] Tamura
    Stow it, you jerks!
[19:52] Arisa
    That's better! Keep it up, Tamura!
[19:56] Yoshiko
    It's been a month now,
    but Mita hasn't quit yet.
[20:00] Yoshiko
    After all that whining she did...
[20:05] Otomi
    I guess she's not the type
    to do things halfway.
[20:14] Arisa
    Don't sit out! Get running already!
[20:17] Soccer Club
    Meisei! Meisei!
[20:20] Soccer Club
    Fight! Fight!
[20:22] Arisa
    Have it!
[20:24] Otomi
    In everything she does.
[20:26] Otomi
    Wish she'd be more forthright
    about showing it.
[20:28] Otomi
    Akai might have a better
    opinion of her, then.
[20:31] Yoshiko
    You don't mind if she steals Akai?
[20:36] Otomi
    "Steals" him? Why should I care?
[20:39] Yoshiko
    Man, why are you the type
    of girl guys go crazy for?
[20:43] Otomi
    What do you mean?
[20:46] Yoshiko
    Three more guys asked me to pass on letters.
[20:50] Yoshiko
    Do you get it now?
[20:56] Underling
    No one's coming, Big Bro.
[21:00] Takayasu
    What a buncha useless punks.
[21:02] Takayasu
    "Oh, I've got work."
     "I've got kids." "I've got a wife."
[21:06] Takayasu
    In just 30 years, they've all
    turned into a bunch of old men.
[21:09] Underling
    Well, that's what most adults do—
[21:12] Takayasu
    Whaddaya mean "most"?
     Whaddaya mean "adults"?!
[21:15] Underling
    Th-That's a little too
    philosophical for me...
[21:20] Underling
    H-He came out, Big Bro!
[21:22] Underling
    H-He's leaving!
[21:24] Takayasu
    Who is?
[21:25] Underling
    Huh?
[21:27] Takayasu
    Someone you know?
[21:29] Underling
    N-No.
[21:32] Takayasu
    Let's go, then.
[21:38] Takayasu
    Aw, man. Wish I could get married.

[21:43] Narrator
    "Just maybe..."
[21:45] Narrator
    Even Koshien and marriage...
    It's not a dream!
[23:21] Narrator
    Resourcefulness. Strategy. Tactics.
[23:26] Narrator
    Just a practice match.
    But a practice match.
[23:31] Narrator
    Powerful enemies pursue Meisei High.
[23:33] Narrator
    They're ready to fight back!
[23:35] Narrator
    Or so they think. But wait, can it be?
