[00:11] Komiyama
    How do we feel about a practice match?
[00:15] Komiyama
    Against Meisei High.
[00:19] Tomohito
    You're interested in them?
SIGN    Kenjo High School
[00:21] Komiyama
    Yeah.
[00:23] Teramoto
    Seinan's wanted a practice match
    for ages. Won't that make them mad?
[00:28] Komiyama
    I don't need to test Seinan to
    know what their team can do.
[00:34] Komiyama
    Or that they're a formidable opponent.
[00:37] Komiyama
    Meisei's the unpredictable one.
[00:39] Komiyama
    Their potential is unsettling.
[00:42] Komiyama
    One or two players taking the next step
    could make a huge difference for them.
[00:47] Komiyama
    And I want to see your
    little brother in action.
[00:51] Teramoto
    But this might help them out.
[00:54] Komiyama
    Oh, it won't.
[00:56] Komiyama
    What it comes down to is how we beat them.
[01:01] Komiyama
    Instead of letting their team develop
    on its own until the summer,
[01:04] Komiyama
    we hit them hard now
    and cut them off at the knees.
[01:08] Komiyama
    Including your little brother, of course.
[01:13] Tomohito
    You're worrying too much.
[01:15] Komiyama
    Am I?
[01:17] Komiyama
    Not as much as you, I'd say.
[01:23] Komiyama
    Point is, that manager's getting a little
     too ambitious and excited for my liking.
[01:30] Komiyama
    I say he needs a cold, hard dose of reality.
[01:35] Komiyama
    Let him get too big for his britches
     and he could be a real problem.
[01:41] Imagawa
    He drinks and he dances,
    he sings and he fights,
[01:44] Imagawa
    yet he never reflects
    on the trouble he causes:
[01:46] Imagawa
    Gorou Ooyama has arrived.
[01:49] Imagawa
    Let all who know fear flee in his presence.
[01:52] Imagawa
    I bet he said something like that.
[01:55] Ooyama
    You just made up that last part!
[01:59] Souichirou
    So what do we do?
[02:02] Ooyama
    What do you think we do?
[02:04] Ooyama
    Turn him down.
[02:06] Ooyama
    Unsettling them is a good thing.
[02:09] Ooyama
    Why reveal ourselves and
    set their minds at ease?
[02:12] Ooyama
    Ghosts are only scary when they're invisible.
[02:16] Ooyama
    Why should the underdog show
    their hand before the tournament?
[02:20] Ooyama
    I'm right, yeah? Any objections?
[02:24] Touma
    Sounds fine to me.
[02:26] Touma
    It's very you.
[02:28] Ooyama
    What do you mean by that?
[02:35] Haruka
    So we're set for 2 pm on Saturday.
     That's three days from now.
[02:45] Ooyama
    For what?
[02:47] Haruka
    Huh? The practice match with Kenjo High.
[02:51] Ooyama
    What?
[02:53] Ooyama
    But I sent them a fax turning them down!
[02:56] Haruka
    Turning them down?
[02:58] Ooyama
    I wrote a big X on it!
[03:01] Haruka
    This?
[03:03] Ooyama
    Yeah, that's the one.
[03:06] Ooyama
    It says it right here, see?
[03:09] Ooyama
    "If you accept our offer of
    a practice match, put an X."
SIGN    Practice Match Proposal
SIGN    Dear Sir, I'm happy to hear you've been well since we last spoke.
SIGN    I am writing to you to propose the scheduling of a practice match
SIGN    between Kenjo High and Meisei High.
SIGN    Would you agree to the following date and time?
SIGN    Date: X Month X Day Saturday, 2 pm
SIGN    Location: Meisei High School Grounds
SIGN    Please write O or X in the square provided below.
SIGN    Thank you for your time.
[03:13] Ooyama
    "If you cannot attend, put an O."
SIGN    °If you accept our offer of a practice match, put an X.
     If you cannot attend, put an O.
SIGN    Kenjo High Baseball Club
SIGN    Manager: Shinpei Komiyama
[03:18] Ooyama
    Hm?
[03:19] Narrator
    Put an X to accept the
    practice match. Hm?
[03:27] Tomohito
    He fell for it?
[03:30] Komiyama
    I'm glad their manager's so easy to read.
[03:33] Tomohito
    Meisei's the only one, right?
[03:37] Tomohito
    The only team this past year,
    outside of the Spring Invitationals,
[03:40] Tomohito
    that beat us in a game
    we worked hard to win.
[03:45] Tomohito
    Hm? Did I speak out of turn?
[03:49] Komiyama
    Is that so? I didn't notice.
[03:52] Komiyama
    When I lose a match, I analyze it
    and put it straight out of my mind.
[04:02] Komiyama
    Tell the others that.
[04:06] Tomohito
    Yes, sir.

    Couldn't they have come straight back?

    Any commendation they receive
    reflects well on our school.
[13:34] Otomi
    Far more than winning
    one silly little practice match.
[13:38] Kenjo Club Advisor
    And that's the deal.
[13:41] Komiyama
    Huh.
[13:44] Arisa
    You think you can compete
    with that little louse pitching?
[13:47] Narrator
    That little louse...
[13:49] Natsuno
    First!
[13:54] Otomi
    He's pretty extraordinary, too.
[13:58] Umpire
    Play ball!
[14:00] Natsuno
    Okay!
[14:03] Komiyama
    End this in the first inning.
[14:06] Umpire
    Ball!
[14:08] Umpire
    Ball!
[14:09] Teramoto
    C'mon, man. Grow a spine already.
[14:15] Umpire
    Strike!
[14:21] Teramoto
    Whoa!
[14:22] Umpire
    Ball!
[14:26] Umpire
    Strike!
[14:32] Umpire
    You're out!
[14:35] Komiyama
    That would've been a ball if he'd left it.
[14:40] Umpire
    Ball!
[14:42] Umpire
    Ball!
[14:44] Umpire
    Ball!
[14:46] Umpire
    Strike!
[14:49] Umpire
    Strike!
[14:52] Spectator A
    A checked swing!
[14:53] Spectator A
    He went around!
[14:56] Tomohito
    If they hadn't swung, we'd have
    two runners on base with no outs.
[15:00] Komiyama
    I didn't realize their pitcher
    was so lacking in control.
[15:05] Komiyama
    That's my mistake.
[15:07] Komiyama
    My foolish directive to end this in the first
[15:10] Komiyama
    caused them to grow lax
    when evaluating the pitches.
[15:13] Komiyama
    They couldn't resist the urge to swing.
[15:18] Tomohito
    And that catcher...
[15:21] Tomohito
    He barely moved his mitt
    to catch those pitches.
[15:25] Komiyama
    What?
[15:31] Umpire
    Ball!
[15:35] Umpire
    Ball!
[15:37] Tomohito
    That pitcher's not lacking in control at all.
[15:46] Spectator A
    A good hit!
[15:48] Ooyama
    Right into center field.
[15:51] Ooyama
    Teehee.
[15:53] Spectator B
    Three up, three down!
[15:55] Otomi
    Well?
[15:57] Arisa
    Is the real powerhouse here
    your stupid older brother, catching version?
[16:02] Ooyama
    Wait for a good pitch to hit
    until you're on two strikes.
[16:07] Ooyama
    Don't give him an out he hasn't earned.
[16:09] Ooyama
    Hang in there and force him to
    throw as many pitches as possible.
[16:13] Ooyama
    One of the jobs of the
    leadoff hitter in the first
[16:17] Ooyama
    is to gather intel for the
    batters that come after.
[16:20] Ooyama
    Got that?
[16:28] Kita
    I can probably guess what he's saying.

[17:01] Umpire

[17:04] Kita
    Okay, let's find out...
[17:07] Kita
    how many pitches you can hang in for.
[17:13] Narrator
    Batting first, center fielder,
    Akai. First-year.
[17:26] Umpire
    You're out!
[17:37] Souichirou
    Well, he hung in there for one pitch.
[17:39] Ooyama
    Hard to find fault with
    a hit like that, though.
[17:48] Kita
    I got careless. That was
    your brother, wasn't it?
[17:53] Tomohito
    Don't worry about him.
    He's not much of a hitter.
[17:56] Tomohito
    Well, when he's not getting a clumsy
     fastball on the first pitch, anyway.
[18:02] Kita
    Tell me that first, would you?
[18:05] Narrator
    Batting second, second baseman,
    Murotani. Third-year.
[18:15] Ooyama
    Hung in there for three pitches.
[18:19] Narrator
    Batting third, catcher, the elder
    Tachibana. Second-year.
[18:26] Eisuke
    I only see one of my two stupid sons.
[18:32] Nishimura's Dad
    Excuse me.
[18:35] Nishimura's Dad
    Might you be the Tachibanas' youngest?
[18:40] Otomi
    Yes?
[18:42] Nishimura's Dad
    I thought so. You looked so familiar.
[18:47] Nishimura's Dad
    I've seen your photo so many times
    while tidying my son's room.
[18:51] Otomi
    Photo?
[18:54] Nishimura's Dad
    Oh, um, nothing.
[19:00] Umpire
    Foul!
[19:05] Otomi
    So close!
[19:07] Nishimura's Dad
    Isn't Touma pitching today?
[19:11] Nishimura's Dad
    Oh, I promise I'm not a scary guy.
[19:17] Otomi
    Not sure that line works
    if it's about yourself...
[19:20] Toshie
    Mr. Yamamotoyama?!
[19:23] Toshie
    It's been forever! I'm Toshie Nonomiya!
[19:27] Toshie
    My mom told me all about you!
[19:30] Toshie
    You went to Shikoku for work
    and came back three years later.
[19:36] Nishimura's Dad
    Um... uh...
[19:39] Toshie
    With the beard and sunglasses,
    I didn't recognize you at first.
[19:44] Nishimura's Dad
    Uh, well...
[19:48] Soccer Club A
    Hey, you guys!
[19:51] Soccer Club A
    Our match is starting!
[19:53] Arisa
    Yeah, yeah.
[19:55] Arisa
    Cheer on Akai for me, would you?
[19:59] Otomi
    Which Akai?
[20:07] Arisa
    Dumbass.
[20:12] Spectator A
    What a close pitch!
[20:14] Narrator
    First baseman, the elder Akai. Second-year.
[20:21] Spectator B
    Great timing on that foul!
[20:28] Kita
    I'll never come to like this guy.
[20:30] Narrator
    Ace pitcher, Kita. Second-year.
[20:50] Girls
    Nice one!
[20:58] Souichirou
    I hung in there for seven pitches.
[21:00] Ooyama
    No, I want hits from you.
