    Yes, sir.
[00:55] Otomi
    Huh? Where's Tou?
[00:58] Souichirou
    He decided to stay out
    with Koma and the guys.
[01:01] Otomi
    You didn't go with them?
[01:04] Souichirou
    I already have to be around him all day.
[01:07] Souichirou
    I'm not gonna stay out
     with him all night, too.
[01:10] Otomi
    Hm, I see.
[01:15] Otomi
    You're in shock, aren't you?
[01:17] Souichirou
    About what?
[01:18] Otomi
    Since you didn't have the same
    faith in Tou's talent that I did.
[01:25] Souichirou
    Idiot. You didn't have
     any basis for that "faith."
[01:29] Souichirou
    I'm the one catching his
    pitches every day, you know.
[01:34] Otomi
    I see. So you need more
    than that to stun you, huh?
[01:38] Souichirou
    Idiot. Do you even know how much "that" was?
[01:43] Otomi
    Come again?
[01:44] Souichirou
    Who do you think tipped off their

[01:57] Souichirou
    I did it to make sure
    he doesn't get conceited.
[02:00] Otomi
    You're lying.
[02:03] Otomi
    You know better than any of us that Tou's
    not the type to get conceited and slack off.
[02:13] Souichirou
    Fine. I'm lying.
[02:16] Souichirou
    I got jealous and wanted to spite him.

    That's my honest boy.

[04:12] Otomi
    Not sure.
[04:13] Otomi
    I don't have many memories of Dad,
[04:17] Otomi
    but there is one thing
    I remember really clearly.
[04:26] Otomi
    It was a hot day.
[04:29] Otomi
    You were throwing balls at the wall
    in the yard and sweating buckets.
SIGN    Summer
[04:35] Otomi
    I was sitting on Dad's lap,
    eyes fixed to the TV screen.
[04:41] Otomi
    That's when Dad, seeing the intense
    expression on my face, asked me:
[04:47] Otomi
    "You want to go there someday?"
[04:53] Otomi
    I said, "Yeah," and Dad looked super happy.
[05:00] Otomi
    "You'll get there for sure."
[05:04] Otomi
    "Your brother will take you," he said.
[05:09] Souichirou
    Your brother, huh?
[05:13] Souichirou
    I'm sure he never expected
    you'd have two of them.
[05:19] Otomi
    Though, at the time, I was
    less focused on the baseball,
[05:22] Otomi

[07:41] Haruka
    Apparently, the Kenjo manager's been
    talking Touma up everywhere he can.
[07:47] Souichirou
    That would have any ordinary
    high schooler flying high.
[07:52] Haruka
    Think he has an ulterior motive?
[07:54] Souichirou
    Nah.
[07:55] Souichirou
    It'd be one thing if it was Nishimura,
    but he knows it won't work on Touma.
[08:07] Nishimura
    Someone's saying nice things
    about me, I'll bet.

    Can we take a break?

[08:29] Catcher
    His fastball maxes out
    at 145 kmph, doesn't it?
[08:34] Nishimura's Dad
    Yeah. So far.
[08:37] Catcher
    Maybe you should measure it again.
[08:40] Catcher
    I'll bet it's close to 150 now.
[08:46] Nishimura's Dad
    No, his fastball is 145 kmph.

[09:13] Masaki
    Well, that's only natural, but...
[09:18] Harada
    But?
[09:20] Masaki
    Well, I can't help but be concerned.
[09:24] Masaki
    Meisei High's had its share of tragedies.
[09:28] Masaki
    And it always seems to happen
    when a promising ace appears.
[09:33] Harada
    Oh?
[09:36] Masaki
    The first tragedy was 30-odd years ago.
[09:40] Masaki
    On the morning of the finals, with Meisei's
     first Koshien appearance imminent,
[09:48] Masaki
    their undisputed ace, a first-year
    prodigy, died in a traffic accident.
[09:57] Masaki
    And five years later, a new man appeared,
    who we all had high hopes for.
[10:06] Masaki
    Keiichi Sawai.
[10:08] Masaki
    Souichirou and Otomi
    Tachibana's biological father.
[10:15] Masaki
    But a catastrophe in the quarters
    took him off the mound for good.
[10:25] Masaki
    So whenever a promising new ace appears
     for Meisei, you can't help wondering...
[10:31] Harada
    Kazuya Uesugi.
[10:33] Masaki
    Hm?
[10:36] Masaki
    Yeah. It was Kazuya Uesugi.
    The kid who died 30-odd years ago.
[10:55] Masaki
    Hm? It's really coming down again.

[11:26] Souichirou
    Weren't you listening?
[11:28] Souichirou
    We're gonna swap bunks every week.
[11:33] Touma
    What a pain in the butt. Do we have to?
[11:36] Souichirou
    It gets too hot in the top bunk in summer.
[11:40] Touma
    You've never complained about it before.
[11:43] Souichirou
    I've been sucking it up. But no more.
[11:49] Souichirou
    Wh-What the heck is this?
[11:51] Touma
    Oh, that's my winter clothing.
[11:54] Souichirou
    What's it doing in my closet?!
[11:57] Touma
    I ran out of room in mine, so I figured...
[12:01] Souichirou
    You figured what? You have no space
    'cause you just toss stuff in!
[12:05] Souichirou
    If you organized it properly, it'd all fit!
[12:08] Touma
    Could you do that, then?
[12:10] Souichirou
    Screw that!
[12:14] Mayumi
    Jeez, they're so rowdy this morning.
[12:18] Eisuke
    Same as ever, huh?
[12:20] Eisuke
    And whenever Touma picks a fight,
[12:23] Eisuke
    Sou always ignores the provocation,
[12:26] Eisuke
    so it never gets too serious.
[12:29] Souichirou
    Get back here, Touma!
[12:30] Touma
    That hurt, you stupid jerk!
[12:33] Touma
    "Shut up"? You shut up!
[12:36] Otomi
    Maybe he can't ignore it
    quite so easily anymore.
[12:39] Otomi
    Excellent, excellent.

    Morning.
[12:50] Haruka
    Morning!
[12:51] Haruka
    Hm? What happened to you?
[12:56] Souichirou
    I was doing my morning calisthenics on the
    lawn when a drone dropped a package on me.
[13:02] Souichirou
    Boy, what a shock.
[13:09] Haruka
    Aw. So it wasn't a fight, then?
[13:12] Souichirou
    That's the problem?
[13:18] Koma
    What's with your face, man?
    Did you get a package dropped on you?
[13:22] Touma
    Why would you even ask that?
[13:24] Nishiki
    Did you have a fight with
    your bro this morning?
[13:27] Touma
    He kept riding me about stuff,
    so I indulged him in a bit of roughhousing.
[13:35] Nishiki
    I hope they're okay. That battery
    is kind of our team's foundation.
[13:42] Koma
    You're an only child,
    so you wouldn't understand,
[13:45] Koma
    but that's what it's like
    when you have a sibling.
[13:47] Koma
    Fighting's a sign of how close you are.

    Aren't you an only child, too?
