[00:00] ---
    Since long ago, in this country,
    when the wind blows...
[00:06] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[00:12] ---
    Good afternoon, Master.
[00:14] ---
    Oh, Haruka! Welcome home.
[00:17] ---
    They had a sale, so I
    might've bought too much.
[00:21] ---
    I'll help you to your room.
[00:22] ---
    I'll be fine.
[00:28] ---
    Are you sure?
[00:30] ---
    Using both hands means
    you won't be able to secure your skirt.
[00:34] ---
    What will you do?!
[00:36] ---
    Should the wind blow right now...
[00:40] ---
    Yes!
[00:42] ---
    Ow! Oww!
[00:44] ---
    Oh no!
[00:46] ---
    Dang, you cloud of dust!
[00:49] ---
    I should've watered the ground!
[00:52] ---
    Let's see. Something to water the ground.
[01:00] ---
    Oh? Master of Dragon.
    Are you going somewhere?
[01:03] ---
    Yes, to go and buy a bucket.
[01:06] ---
    Oh, what a coincidence. So am I.
[01:10] ---
    Oh? Are you two going somewhere?
[01:12] ---
    Off to buy a bucket.
[01:14] ---
    --Well, what a coincidence.
    --It appears that when the
    wind blows, buckets sell well.
[01:20] ---
    It has been 30 years since
    the glory of that summer.
[01:23] ---
    The Meisei baseball team
    that became champions
[01:26] ---
    on their first tournament is returning.
[01:30] ---
    Not your ordinary battery in the same grade,
[01:32] ---
    these brothers and their
    younger sister have adventures
[01:35] ---
    in this story of love and youthful days.
[01:38] ---
    Their goal is the same:
    Get to the Koshien Tournament!
[03:25] ---
    "Punch"
[03:29] ---
    What is it with this wind?!
[03:33] ---
    Give me a break!
[03:37] ---
    Are you done with practice already?
[03:39] ---
    Yeah. We finished early today.
[03:42] ---
    Winds are strong, and there
    were some nasty looking clouds.
[03:45] ---
    What about Sou?
[03:47] ---
    He got abducted by
    some female fans over there.
[03:51] ---
    Who is that behind you?
[03:53] ---
    Behind me?
[03:58] ---
    "My Brother"
[04:04] ---
    Wait here?
[04:07] ---
    Manager told you that?
[04:09] ---
    Yeah. He's apparently dropping
    by later for some drinks.
[04:13] ---
    He also said he'll treat me to dinner.
[04:15] ---
    Has our home become a pub?
[04:17] ---
    It's not like he's paying us.
[04:19] ---
    Not only that, the man hasn't
    paid Dad the money he owes!
[04:23] ---
    What is with that man?!
[04:25] ---
    Darn it! And he has the nerve to...
[04:29] ---
    Do not talk bad about our manager!
[04:34] ---
    That man... he saved my life.
[04:42] ---
    Punch!
[04:45] ---
    Oh no! What's this downpour all of a sudden?!
[04:49] ---
    I'm glad I had brought in the laundry.
[04:54] ---
    Can you make me some tea, Otomi?
[04:56] ---
    OK!
[04:59] ---
    Oh, would you like some tea?
[05:01] ---
    Ah...
[05:02] ---
    Nan.
[05:05] ---
    Nan?
[05:08] ---
    That day too.
[05:11] ---
    The weather was much like it is today.
[05:16] ---
    Hello, Tachibana residence.
[05:18] ---
    Oh, Mom?
[05:21] ---
    What? The trains aren't running
    because of the rain?
[05:25] ---
    You'll be late coming home
[05:27] ---
    so you're eating out with Dad?!
[05:31] ---
    Get delivery for dinner?
[05:32] ---
    Who's going to deliver in
    this rain that even stops the trains?
[05:36] ---
    Hey! Wait! Hey!
[05:41] ---
    That's what she says.
[05:43] ---
    Do we have ingredients to make dinner?
[05:45] ---
    We have nothing!
[05:48] ---
    I was promised that I could have dinner.
[05:50] ---
    Get real!
[05:51] ---
    We can't be taking responsibility
    for what that man told you!
[05:55] ---
    In the first place, that man...
[05:57] ---
    Do not talk bad about our manager!
[06:00] ---
    That man... he saved my life.
[06:04] ---
    That day too.
[06:05] ---
    --I wonder if Sou is OK.
    --The weather was much like it is today.
[06:07] ---
    I'm sure he's fine.
[06:09] ---
    --Likely at a convenience store
    or family restaurant.
    --It was raining like this.
[06:11] ---
    Surrounded by girls.
[06:15] ---
    That was a close call.
[06:17] ---
    If we were a minute later,
    we would've been soaked!
[06:21] ---
    From the looks of it, I won't be
    able to leave here for a while.
[06:25] ---
    I can stay like this for days
    if I'm with you, Sou.
[06:28] ---
    Oh? I can stay here for weeks.
[06:30] ---
    I could do this for months.
[06:34] ---
    If it rained for that long,
    Japan would sink into the ocean.
[06:39] ---
    What is it, Sou?
[06:41] ---
    Hey, I recognize that person from somewhere.
[06:43] ---
    Huh?
[06:45] ---
    The Toushu baseball team's ace pitcher.
[06:48] ---
    Hiroki Mita.
[06:51] ---
    "Hiroki Mita"
[06:54] ---
    Oh! He's the guy who got lots of strikeouts
[06:57] ---
    and became famous at last year's Koshien!
[06:59] ---
    183 cm. 78 kg.
[07:02] ---
    Throws left handed, bats left handed.
[07:04] ---
    Blood type B.
[07:05] ---
    Are you girls a player directory?!
[07:08] ---
    Shall I introduce him to you, Sou?
[07:11] ---
    Hi, and a pleasure to meet you.
[07:13] ---
    My name is Arisa Mita,
    and I'm a classmate of Otomi.
[07:19] ---
    Mita?
[07:20] ---
    Hiroki Mita is my elder brother.
[07:23] ---
    I haven't told anybody about this at school.
[07:25] ---
    Because it would be like
    I'm bragging about it.
[07:29] ---
    Shall I get his autograph for you?
[07:32] ---
    I'll pass on that.
[07:33] ---
    It's all right! Don't worry!
[07:36] ---
    Hiroki!
[07:39] ---
    Allow me to introduce him to you.
[07:41] ---
    This is Tachibana. He's in tenth grade.
[07:44] ---
    He's pretty famous.
    Among Meisei High School students, that is.
[07:48] ---
    He plays baseball,
    and I hear he's very talented.
[07:52] ---
    His sister's in my class,
    and she's always bragging about him.
[07:57] ---
    Oh? What position does he play?
[07:59] ---
    Huh? Uh...
[08:02] ---
    He's a catcher.
[08:04] ---
    His brother pitches.
    They're a sibling battery.
[08:07] ---
    You know about them, Mita?
[08:09] ---
    I watched last year's
    no hitter at the Junior High
[08:13] ---
    Tokyo Tournament from the stands.
[08:15] ---
    Nice pitching, and nice leading on your part.
[08:18] ---
    Thank you.
[08:20] ---
    That's impressive.
[08:22] ---
    To have Mita remember your name.
[08:24] ---
    We'll keep an eye out for you, too.
[08:26] ---
    The Tachibana brothers of Meisei.
[08:29] ---
    Thanks, but we're still only in grade ten.
[08:33] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:36] ---
    There's no need for hesitation.
[08:39] ---
    I've been the team's ace
    since I was in grade ten.
[08:42] ---
    Your grade is irrelevant during a game.
[08:51] ---
    It wouldn't hurt to brag some more.
[08:53] ---
    Huh?
[08:55] ---
    You're at a different level,
    so you should look down at him more.
[08:59] ---
    You fool.
[09:01] ---
    At a different level?
[09:02] ---
    You've never seriously
    seen me pitch a game, have you?
[09:06] ---
    That's because I don't really know baseball.
[09:09] ---
    Then stop talking about one's levels.
[09:11] ---
    But they're nothing like you!
[09:14] ---
    You're a celebrity, appearing
    in magazines and newspapers!
[09:18] ---
    Magazines and newspapers are not important!
[09:21] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[09:23] ---
    It's quite all right.
[09:26] ---
    In any case, when the summer tournament
    begins, come to a game and see me pitch.
[09:31] ---
    Just one game will do,
    but watch it from beginning to end.
[09:35] ---
    I'll make you a fan of baseball.
[09:41] ---
    Hey, how'd it go?
[09:43] ---
    With the brother of that nasty girl.
[09:45] ---
    Hm?
[09:47] ---
    Oh.
[09:49] ---
    I now would love to have his autograph.
[09:52] ---
    "Ramen Dragon"
    "Chinese Food"
[09:52] ---
    Darn! I was tagged out
    just before reaching home.
[09:57] ---
    I'm glad I went shopping
    for food earlier today.
[10:02] ---
    Come to think of it, I wonder if Nan is OK.
[10:06] ---
    He lives far away, right?
[10:08] ---
    His uncle's home is way out in Saitama.
[10:11] ---
    I'm surprised his parents
    in Kyushu allowed him
[10:14] ---
    to live in the Tokyo area.
[10:16] ---
    He's got so many sisters and brothers.
[10:19] ---
    Besides, when he decides on
    something, he won't back down.
[10:22] ---
    He truly wants to pay you
    back for what you did.
[10:27] ---
    Pay me back, huh?
[10:33] ---
    Come to think of it, that day, too...
[10:37] ---
    Ah!
[10:39] ---
    Oops!
[10:53] ---
    A fastball at nearly 150
    km/h from a tall lefty.
[11:00] ---
    A slider with great movement.
[11:02] ---
    And there's his two-seam fastball.
[11:04] ---
    They're all top notch.
[11:06] ---
    He's a super high schooler.
[11:10] ---
    In other words, a regular high school student
    doesn't have a chance against him.
[11:15] ---
    So it's a skilled high school team,
[11:17] ---
    quarterfinalists at the summer Koshien,
    with an incredible ace pitcher.
[11:19] ---
    "Toushu High School Baseball Team"
[11:20] ---
    Why would they settle
    for a practice game with us?
[11:23] ---
    What do you mean "settle for"?!
[11:24] ---
    They only made it to the quarterfinals!
[11:27] ---
    We've been national champions!
[11:29] ---
    The best team in all of Japan!
[11:30] ---
    But that happened 30 years ago.
[11:32] ---
    That's like just the other day!
[11:34] ---
    It's ancient history, right?
[11:37] ---
    It's all for his cute younger sister.
[11:40] ---
    Huh?
[11:41] ---
    What?!
[11:43] ---
    He's your brother, Arisa?
[11:45] ---
    Well, yeah.
[11:46] ---
    The hero from Koshien!
[11:48] ---
    Hiroki Mita, who the pros are interested in?
[11:51] ---
    Is he really that great?
[11:54] ---
    My brother.
[11:56] ---
    Yes. I think he is.
[11:58] ---
    Then can I brag about him?
[12:01] ---
    The way that you do?
[12:04] ---
    Yes. I think you can.
[12:07] ---
    From what Natsuno tells me,
[12:09] ---
    her sense of rivalry against
    Otomi is quite intense.
[12:13] ---
    Which means,
[12:15] ---
    at the moment,
    Otomi is the one who's in the lead.
[12:18] ---
    So today, a brother against brothers match
[12:21] ---
    has been arranged,
    so she can earn some sure points.
[12:24] ---
    What a thing to be caught up in.
[12:27] ---
    No. We should be thankful.
[12:30] ---
    It's a chance to experience the
    pitching of a super high schooler.
[12:33] ---
    A rare opportunity.
[12:35] ---
    Even if it'll make things
    uncomfortable for Otomi?
[12:38] ---
    Things won't become any
    less comfortable for Otomi.
[12:47] ---
    So?
[12:49] ---
    Will we be allowed to play?
[13:00] ---
    Huh?
[13:01] ---
    What about the rumored sibling battery?
[13:04] ---
    They're only in grade ten, after all.
[13:07] ---
    My brother tells me he was the
    ace pitcher since he was in grade ten.
[13:11] ---
    What?
[13:13] ---
    Seriously?
[13:14] ---
    Is that really something so great?!
[13:15] ---
    --Are you just going
    to let her go on like that?
    --It's awesome!
[13:17] ---
    --It's not like I can say anything.
    --Yes, it's awesome!
[13:19] ---
    --You think so?
[13:20] ---
    --For the time being, that is.
    --You think so?
[13:24] ---
    Takeshita will start.
[13:26] ---
    Second time through
    the lineup, it'll be Takaoka.
[13:28] ---
    Third time through the lineup,
    it'll be the younger Tachibana.
[13:31] ---
    We'll finish with Nojima.
[13:34] ---
    Before they get used to a pitcher's style,
[13:36] ---
    we'll use four pitchers
    with different styles,
[13:39] ---
    disrupting their attack
    rhythm in the process.
[13:42] ---
    There are no restrictions
    on player replacements for us.
[13:45] ---
    That's how lightly they're
    taking us from the start.
[13:48] ---
    Let's teach them what happens when they take
[13:51] ---
    national champions lightly!
[13:53] ---
    But that happened 30 years ago.
[13:56] ---
    OK! We're going to win this!
[13:58] ---
    Yeah!
[14:00] ---
    Play ball!
[14:02] ---
    I'm third up.
[14:04] ---
    Today we're here to study.
[14:06] ---
    Let's take a good look at the pitching
[14:09] ---
    of a pitcher that the pros are raving over.
[14:11] ---
    You think he'll be pitching seriously
    against a team like ours?
[14:14] ---
    I'm sure he will.
[14:16] ---
    His cute little sister is watching.
[14:20] ---
    In any case,
[14:22] ---
    Takeshita looks really happy today.
[14:26] ---
    He usually pitches with
    a really sour expression.
[14:30] ---
    Yeah.
[14:33] ---
    His pitches are easier to hit today.
[14:38] ---
    His sweet smile matches his easy pitches.
[14:42] ---
    Ball! Four balls!
[14:49] ---
    I see you can get lots of points in baseball.
[14:52] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[14:53] ---
    That ends the top of the first inning.
[14:57] ---
    I thought they'd be using backups,
[14:59] ---
    but no, they're using their regular starters.
[15:02] ---
    Regardless...
[15:04] ---
    What's wrong, Takeshita?
[15:06] ---
    --He gets nervous around celebrities.
    --I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
    I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[15:10] ---
    Pitching against famous players
    he's seen frequently on TV,
[15:13] ---
    he's having trouble keeping
    his feet on the ground.
[15:15] ---
    More importantly,
    you'd better get warmed up soon.
[15:17] ---
    You're third up.
[15:19] ---
    Huh?
[15:20] ---
    They batted around
[15:22] ---
    in just the first inning.
[15:24] ---
    Ugh.
[15:36] ---
    He's serious, all right.
[15:37] ---
    Yeah.
[15:39] ---
    He's serious.
[15:41] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[15:44] ---
    Second up, Pitcher Takaoka.
[15:47] ---
    Against six batters,
    he gives up one walk and two hits.
[15:52] ---
    Although he does give up one run,
    the pitching is pretty decent.
[15:55] ---
    Yes!
[15:56] ---
    But one thing with Takaoka is,
    when he pitches more than an inning,
[16:00] ---
    he can become a completely different pitcher.
[16:02] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[16:04] ---
    And this is Takaoka
    when he's become a different pitcher.
[16:08] ---
    He has walked consecutive batters
    to load the bases with no outs,
[16:12] ---
    at which point he completes his mission
    of going through the lineup once.
[16:16] ---
    Pitching change, and replacing catcher, too!
[16:19] ---
    Oh boy.
[16:20] ---
    Oh! They're finally making an appearance.
[16:23] ---
    The rumored sibling battery.
[16:26] ---
    At the worst possible time.
[16:28] ---
    What? They're bringing in a tenth grader?
[16:32] ---
    Grades are irrelevant in a game.
[16:36] ---
    Play!
[16:38] ---
    Darn. At the worst possible time.
[16:42] ---
    Oh, well... here goes nothing.
[16:46] ---
    Oops.
[16:55] ---
    Out!
[17:00] ---
    Oh boy.
[17:02] ---
    Three outs! Switch sides!
[17:04] ---
    T-Triple play?!
[17:07] ---
    What just happened?
[17:10] ---
    Strike!
[17:12] ---
    To this point, there have been
    four strikeouts and two ground balls.
[17:16] ---
    It's only a practice game
[17:19] ---
    yet no one's been able
    to hit a ball out of the infield.
[17:23] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[17:27] ---
    Sou!
[17:30] ---
    At the least, make him throw four pitches.
[17:35] ---
    Get him! Sou!
[17:50] ---
    Out!
[17:51] ---
    Really, Sou?
[17:56] ---
    I told you at least four pitches.
[17:58] ---
    Sorry. It looked like a pitch
    I could hit, so I swung at it.
[18:03] ---
    He hit the first delivery he
    ever saw from Mita to the outfield!
[18:07] ---
    Get him! Tou!
[18:10] ---
    I wish she wouldn't call me that.
[18:22] ---
    Strike!
[18:27] ---
    Looked like a pitch he could hit?
[18:30] ---
    Does he seriously mean that?
[18:35] ---
    Foul ball!
[18:41] ---
    Ball!
[18:44] ---
    Well done.
[18:47] ---
    Foul ball!
[18:49] ---
    Foul ball!
[18:50] ---
    He's persistently fouling them off.
[18:53] ---
    He's not trying to foul them off.
[18:56] ---
    He's trying to get a hit.
[19:00] ---
    Ball!
[19:01] ---
    It's now a full count.
[19:03] ---
    Tou is always the one
    who does the unexpected.
[19:07] ---
    Huh?
[19:08] ---
    Both good and bad.
[19:22] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[19:24] ---
    Three outs! Switch sides!
[19:29] ---
    It appears that it's not only our
[19:31] ---
    starting pitcher Takeshita
    who's weak around celebrities.
[19:35] ---
    I just hope that umpire doesn't regret it.
[19:40] ---
    That was your favorite spot, wasn't it?
[19:43] ---
    Right there, just off the plate.
[19:45] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[19:46] ---
    Five to nothing after three innings.
[19:49] ---
    That's enough service, don't you think?
    How about we replace you?
[19:53] ---
    I've still only seen one pitch from that guy.
[19:57] ---
    Not that it matters. He's
    only a tenth grader.
[20:01] ---
    And he lucked out
    with a miracle on that one play.
[20:06] ---
    Foul ball!
[20:12] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[20:15] ---
    Huh? You're kidding.
[20:18] ---
    Strike! Batter is out!
[20:21] ---
    This really helps.
[20:23] ---
    Batter is out!
[20:25] ---
    He struck out the side!
[20:26] ---
    And against the heart of
    the Toushu starting lineup!
[20:30] ---
    He did the unexpected, didn't he?
[20:32] ---
    He definitely did that, I must say.
[20:35] ---
    That's my brother.
[20:36] ---
    I already know!
[20:38] ---
    Do you want to change pitchers?
[20:40] ---
    Out of respect for that pitching we saw,
    we'll add on some more service!
[20:50] ---
    "Toushu"
    "Meisei"
[20:58] ---
    What are you getting so heated up about?
[21:01] ---
    That was the second time I faced that batter!
[21:03] ---
    Wasn't I supposed to be replaced
    after going through the lineup once?
[21:06] ---
    You fool.
[21:07] ---
    I'm a fool?!
[21:09] ---
    It's two outs in the sixth inning.
[21:11] ---
    Nojima is our only remaining pitcher.
[21:15] ---
    What's that sign supposed to mean?!
[21:18] ---
    That couldn't be more obvious.
[21:20] ---
    Who in their right mind would
    replace a pitcher who has no-hit
[21:24] ---
    the nine starting members
    of the Toushu lineup?
[21:27] ---
    The fluke of no-hitting our batters
    will only work through the lineup once.
[21:31] ---
    Even against the same batters,
    the second time will be a lot more difficult.
[21:34] ---
    That's the reality of facing
    a national level team.
[23:24] ---
    Next time, on MIX.
[23:26] ---
    Big news! Big news!
[23:27] ---
    What's the matter, Natsuno?
    What are you so worked up about?
[23:30] ---
    It's a big deal! It's big news!
[23:32] ---
    What happened?
[23:33] ---
    Tell us.
[23:34] ---
    It's big news!
[23:36] ---
    It really is a big deal!
    Something incredible is happening!
[23:39] ---
    So tell us!
[23:40] ---
    Hurry and say it.
[23:41] ---
    W-W-Well, you see...
[23:42] ---
    "Big News, Right?"
[23:44] ---
    Next time, "Big News, Right?"
[23:45] ---
    So what is it?!
[23:47] ---
    "To be continued"
[23:49] ---
