**[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"
