[00:01] ---
    HLB.
[00:02] ---
    Hero League Baseball.
[00:05] ---
    That's the generic name for
    the sandlot baseball league set up
[00:09] ---
    by pro heroes who love baseball.
[00:15] ---
    According to this year's rankings...
[00:18] ---
    ...Gang Orca's team, the Orcas,
[00:22] ---
    is tied for first place with Lion Hero:
    Shishido's team, the Lionels.
[00:28] ---
    And now, it's the HLB championship game!
[00:31] ---
    Yeah!
[00:32] ---
    The direct showdown between
    the Orcas and the Lionels begins!
[02:16] ---
    Victory will belong to us, the Orcas!
[02:21] ---
    Yeah!
[02:22] ---
    We're the ones who'll win, the Lionels!
[02:25] ---
    Yeah!
[02:31] ---
    You knew you couldn't win,
    so you called in outside help?
[02:35] ---
    Listen to you talk!
    You did the same thing!
[02:40] ---
    I pity you, Shishido. You're king
    over such a tiny strip of land!
[02:45] ---
    Gang Orca, why don't you go back
    to the sea and eat some sardines!
[02:51] ---
    Killer whales are the mightiest!
[02:52] ---
    No, lions are!
[02:55] ---
    Those two are always
    at each other's throats.
[02:58] ---
    Kamui, why did you agree to help out?
[03:02] ---
    Ask Edge Shot about that.
[03:04] ---
    Should we really be playing baseball
    during our work studies?
[03:07] ---
    I've never played it before...
[03:10] ---
    But if we win, we get all-you-can-eat
    takoyaki! I'm goin' for it!
[03:15] ---
    Oh, yeah! Might as well play to win!
[03:18] ---
    You know it!
[03:20] ---
    Oh, forget this. It's sure to end badly.
[03:29] ---
    The Orcas vs. the Lionels!
[03:31] ---
    Which team is going to win
    this game of the century?!
[03:36] ---
    Coming to you with
    live coverage by me, Present Mic,
[03:38] ---
    and commentary by Eraser Head.
[03:42] ---
    Why am I doing commentary?
[03:43] ---
    First, some commentary
    on the special rules of HLB!
[03:47] ---
    Hey.
[03:48] ---
    Each team has only nine players!
[03:51] ---
    No outside substitutes
    are allowed during a game!
[03:54] ---
    Any number of position changes is allowed!
[03:57] ---
    Including substitute runners!
[03:59] ---
    Even if players get ejected,
    the game goes on!
[04:03] ---
    If a batter is injured and has to leave,
    they're automatically considered out!
[04:10] ---
    Will it come down to the scores
    at the end of the ninth inning?!
[04:13] ---
    Or will one team forfeit
    for having no members left?!
[04:20] ---
    That's absurd.
[04:21] ---
    --Here we go!
    --Oh, I want to leave.
[04:23] ---
    --It's a head-to-head contest,
    fair and square!
    --That's all I want.
[04:27] ---
    It's the top of the first,
    and the Orcas are at bat.
[04:31] ---
    Batting now is the captain, Gang Orca!
[04:34] ---
    The Lionels starting pitcher is Sugarman!
[04:37] ---
    Listen! No need to hold back!
[04:39] ---
    Throw like your life depends on it!
[04:49] ---
    Whoa! Sugarman has
    already absorbed some sugar!
[04:54] ---
    It's the Quirk-enhanced first pitch!
[04:56] ---
    He throws! It's incredible!
[05:00] ---
    And it's hit with ease!
[05:03] ---
    Out-of-the-park home run!
[05:05] ---
    We're sure to run
    out of balls at this rate.
[05:08] ---
    Hey! I thought I told you to do it
    like your life depends on it!
[05:13] ---
    D-Dying... Dying right now...
[05:17] ---
    Pitcher substitution!
[05:19] ---
    After just one pitch,
    Mindz takes the mound!
[05:23] ---
    Now, what kind of pitching
    is he going to show us?!
[05:26] ---
    Twin Impact.
[05:30] ---
    He throws!
[05:31] ---
    Wait, that is so weak!
[05:34] ---
    Hah! Easy!
[05:35] ---
    Fire.
[05:37] ---
    Strike!
[05:39] ---
    Huh?
[05:41] ---
    Strike!
[05:44] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[05:47] ---
    Oh, ho! Chargebolt is out
    in just three pitches!
[05:50] ---
    He wasn't even able to swing!
[05:54] ---
    Penalty.
[05:56] ---
    Th-There's no way I could hit that...
[05:59] ---
    Penalty!
[06:02] ---
    Next up to bat, it's Tentacole!
[06:04] ---
    What is this?
[06:06] ---
    HLB rules place no limits
    on the number of bats!
[06:10] ---
    I'll cover the entire strike zone!
[06:13] ---
    Even if the ball suddenly speeds up when
    it's close, I just have to swing in time!
[06:18] ---
    I'll win!
[06:20] ---
    Fire.
[06:23] ---
    Now that's what I call a curve ball!
    There's no hitting that!
[06:27] ---
    Strike!
[06:31] ---
    Fire.
[06:32] ---
    Strike!
[06:33] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[06:36] ---
    Strike! Strike!
[06:38] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[06:40] ---
    And just like that, three batters
    in a row are struck out!
[06:45] ---
    Penalty! Penalty!
[06:49] ---
    Now, the teams switch
    for the bottom of the first.
[06:51] ---
    Tailman is at bat for the Lionels!
[06:55] ---
    Starting pitcher for
    the Orcas is Kamui Woods.
[06:58] ---
    He winds up for the
    first pitch and throws!
[07:02] ---
    Huh?!
[07:04] ---
    Strike!
[07:06] ---
    Pre-emptive Binding
    Lacquered Chain Prison.
[07:09] ---
    "Pre-emptive Binding
    Lacquered Chain Prison"
[07:10] ---
    Not fair!
[07:13] ---
    Strike!
[07:16] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[07:20] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[07:26] ---
    What're you doing?!
[07:29] ---
    Can't you get into this like
    your life depends on it?!
[07:35] ---
    Lion Hero: Shishido.
[07:35] ---
    "Lion Hero: Shishido - Quirk: Lion"
[07:36] ---
    Quirk: Lion.
[07:37] ---
    He has the same power and
    speed as a lion, the king of beasts!
[07:41] ---
    He's tough on his people,
[07:43] ---
    occasionally knocking them into bottomless
    chasms and making them climb back up.
[07:47] ---
    By the way, he's on very bad terms
    with Gang Orca the killer whale--
[07:50] ---
    the king of marine life!
[07:52] ---
    That's putting it lightly.
[07:56] ---
    Bring it on!
[07:59] ---
    Lacquered Chain Prison!
[08:01] ---
    Think again, you rookie!
[08:06] ---
    Shishido smashes
    the Lacquered Chain Prison!
[08:09] ---
    I've got more!
[08:10] ---
    Smash! Smash! Smash!
[08:13] ---
    Shishido's not stopping,
    and Kamui's not backing down!
[08:15] ---
    It's a battle of wills!
[08:29] ---
    O God.
[08:33] ---
    Center field, stop it with your body!
[08:36] ---
    Titan Cliff!
[08:42] ---
    Mt. Lady is out cold!
[08:46] ---
    Nice save by Cellophane!
[08:48] ---
    That'll keep Shishido
    from getting on base!
[08:53] ---
    Cellophane was crushed
    by an unconscious Mt. Lady!
[08:58] ---
    Seriously?
[09:00] ---
    Kamui Woods... isn't even moving!
[09:03] ---
    Shishido might be out,
    but that was a fine play!
[09:08] ---
    He took out three Orcas players!
[09:10] ---
    Nice batting!
[09:11] ---
    Nothing "nice" about it.
[09:13] ---
    At the top of the second,
[09:15] ---
    the Orcas have lost #4, #5,
    and #6 in their batting order,
[09:17] ---
    so they're leading with #7, Vine!
[09:21] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[09:24] ---
    Strike! You're out!
[09:26] ---
    Two outs, in the blink of an eye!
[09:28] ---
    Penalty! Penalty!
[09:32] ---
    Captain Gang Orca's spout of fury!
[09:38] ---
    The next batter is Earphone Jack.
[09:41] ---
    I guess I'll have to use...
[09:43] ---
    Fire.
[09:44] ---
    ...high frequency batting!
[09:48] ---
    It's being pushed back
    by high frequency waves!
[09:51] ---
    I did it!
[09:52] ---
    This'll be a base hit!
[09:55] ---
    You think?
[09:57] ---
    I doubt it.
[09:59] ---
    Shishido catches it!
[10:00] ---
    Is she out?! I suppose she is!
[10:08] ---
    That was a close one.
[10:10] ---
    It was a good play.
[10:17] ---
    We'll win, just you watch!
[10:19] ---
    Gang Orca's fighting spirit sets
    his team members on fire!
[10:26] ---
    It's the bottom of the second,
[10:28] ---
    and the Orcas have swapped
    Grape Juice in as pitcher.
[10:33] ---
    I'll show you my miracle ball!
[10:38] ---
    All mine!
[10:40] ---
    Sugarman hits it... or not!
[10:46] ---
    The ball came back and nailed Sugarman!
[10:50] ---
    That's it for him, this game!
[10:54] ---
    How do you like my Pop Off
    colored with a rosin bag?
[10:59] ---
    Nobody can hit my miracle ball!
[11:03] ---
    #5, Shoda, is out too!
[11:04] ---
    Dammit! What do we do?!
[11:07] ---
    At times like this,
    you've got to be clever.
[11:09] ---
    Tetsutetsu?
[11:12] ---
    If the ball won't fly forward...
[11:15] ---
    Roar, miracle ball!
[11:18] ---
    ...then I'll hit it back, bat and all!
[11:24] ---
    Yeah! How 'bout that!
[11:27] ---
    You're out!
[11:28] ---
    Real Steel is ejected!
[11:30] ---
    Huh?! What for?!
[11:32] ---
    Real Steel is an idiot!
[11:34] ---
    Ejected for flagrant stupidity,
    over an unsafe act!
[11:38] ---
    What the hell're you doing?!
[11:41] ---
    S-Steel!
[11:43] ---
    Learn your lesson!
[11:52] ---
    S-Scary...
[11:54] ---
    I want to leave!
    I want to leave! I want to leave!
[12:03] ---
    I want to leave!
    I want to leave! I want to leave!
[12:06] ---
    The HLB final game, Orcas vs. Lionels!
[12:10] ---
    At the end of the second inning, the Orcas
    have the lead with the score at 1-0.
[12:12] ---
    "Orcas"
    "Lionels"
[12:15] ---
    The Orcas are down to five players.
[12:17] ---
    They sure would love to score more points!
[12:20] ---
    Oh? It looks like the Lionels are changing
    their pitcher from Mindz to Fatgum.
[12:28] ---
    Oh, what have we here?!
[12:30] ---
    Captain Shishido has
    started hitting Fatgum!
[12:33] ---
    Is this some new form of tough love?!
[12:35] ---
    It's probably Fat Adsorption.
[12:37] ---
    Fat is using Fat Adsorption
    on Shishido's impacts,
[12:40] ---
    sinking them in and storing them up.
[12:42] ---
    To keep Gang Orca
    the slugger under control.
[12:47] ---
    You think you're so clever.
[12:54] ---
    Stop Orca, no matter what it takes.
[12:57] ---
    Don't forget about the
    all-you-can-eat takoyaki.
[13:00] ---
    I won't!
[13:01] ---
    Well, time to get serious!
[13:06] ---
    Please, Fat. Don't let him hit it!
[13:10] ---
    And if you do, don't let it come my way!
[13:15] ---
    Take this! The Naniwa Fat Throwing Style!
[13:21] ---
    Not good enough!
[13:25] ---
    Oh, this is hopeless.
[13:29] ---
    Suneater got devoured!
[13:31] ---
    But the ball fell out of his glove!
[13:33] ---
    Nice play, Kirishima!
[13:37] ---
    Mindz surfs away on
    Orca's ultrasonic waves!
[13:40] ---
    Tailman throws the dropped ball to third!
[13:54] ---
    He's tagged out!
    The Orcas couldn't score this time!
[13:59] ---
    But they did sink Suneater and Mindz!
[14:02] ---
    U-Uh-oh...
[14:05] ---
    I overdid... it.
[14:08] ---
    Fatgum burned through
    too much fat, and he's down!
[14:13] ---
    Shiozaki?!
[14:14] ---
    Oops, it's too much for Vine,
    as she faints!
[14:18] ---
    Now the Lionels have five left,
    and the Orcas, only four!
[14:24] ---
    We knew this was coming!
    Captain Shishido has taken the mound!
[14:29] ---
    Up to bat, it's Chargebolt!
[14:33] ---
    This batter's no big deal.
    But you can't be too careful.
[14:38] ---
    No matter the prey, I'll hunt at 100%!
[14:43] ---
    Lion-like force!
[14:55] ---
    Whoa! A tremendous blazing fastball!
[14:58] ---
    Gevaudan is out cold,
    and he took the umpire with him!
[15:01] ---
    And the shock wave took down
    Chargebolt as well!
[15:05] ---
    Whoa, this is too much...
[15:07] ---
    Jiro, take a fall.
[15:09] ---
    You don't need to keep playing.
[15:13] ---
    Jiro!
[15:14] ---
    Oh, no! Earphone Jack must fear for her
    life because she's fainted like Vine did!
[15:19] ---
    The Orcas are down to just two players!
[15:23] ---
    Sugarman, play catcher!
[15:25] ---
    Huh? Me?
[15:29] ---
    This is torture, in the form of baseball!
[15:34] ---
    We'll hold them back for now, then
    turn it around in the bottom of the third!
[15:39] ---
    Victory will be mine!
[15:43] ---
    Lion-like force!
[15:48] ---
    Again! It's a replay of earlier!
[15:51] ---
    Sugarman is toast!
[15:53] ---
    And Tentacole is gone, too!
[15:55] ---
    An incapacitated batter
    means an instant out!
[15:58] ---
    That's three outs, so now the Lionels are
    up to bat in the bottom of the third!
[16:00] ---
    "Orcas"
    "Lionels"
[16:03] ---
    If this gets any worse,
    I'll start erasing Quirks.
[16:06] ---
    Please do!
[16:08] ---
    "Orcas"
    "Lionels"
[16:09] ---
    As we move into the bottom of the third,
    the Orcas are still in the lead at 1-0!
[16:13] ---
    But now, the only player
    the Orcas have left is Gang Orca!
[16:20] ---
    I'll hit this, for Fat,
    Amajiki, and the rest!
[16:26] ---
    He's my only opponent.
    All I have to do is roll the ball forward!
[16:36] ---
    Unbreakable!
[16:47] ---
    S-Such power!
[16:50] ---
    But don't back down! If I do,
    there'll be nothing left!
[17:02] ---
    He knocked that ball back!
[17:05] ---
    Gang Orca fields the ball!
[17:06] ---
    But there's nobody to throw it to!
[17:09] ---
    No outs, runner on first!
[17:10] ---
    Good!
[17:11] ---
    Now that there are no basemen,
    we might even see a triple!
[17:16] ---
    Not bad at all, Kirishima.
[17:22] ---
    Tailman, go be a
    pinch runner for Red Riot.
[17:26] ---
    Uh, but...
[17:27] ---
    The little guy's done all he can.
[17:30] ---
    I'll settle the score with him.
[17:34] ---
    The Lionels swap runners.
[17:36] ---
    Shishido told me to take your place.
[17:39] ---
    You worked hard, Kirishima.
    Go rest on the bench.
[17:43] ---
    Thanks.
[17:45] ---
    Tell that to Shishido.
[17:50] ---
    Play resumes,
    with no outs and a runner on first.
[17:52] ---
    At bat is the captain
    of the Lionels, Shishido!
[17:56] ---
    So, what now?
[17:58] ---
    First, we even up the score.
[18:01] ---
    I'll give you that much.
[18:06] ---
    Strike! Or it probably is!
[18:09] ---
    During which, Tailman comes
    around second and reaches third!
[18:20] ---
    They scored a point!
    The score is now tied!
[18:22] ---
    "Orcas"
    "Lionels"
[18:27] ---
    At last...
[18:32] ---
    ...we can go all out!
[18:43] ---
    Attention, all citizens in the area.
[18:46] ---
    A villain who committed a bank robbery is
[18:49] ---
    currently driving a large
    truck north on a prefectural road.
[18:52] ---
    Please take shelter immediately. I repeat.
[18:55] ---
    Driving north on a prefectural road...
[18:57] ---
    In that case...
[18:59] ---
    ...they should pass by there!
[19:12] ---
    That's the one.
[19:14] ---
    Shishido.
[19:14] ---
    Yeah!
[19:18] ---
    Orca!
[19:24] ---
    Damn you!
[19:26] ---
    Take this!
[19:34] ---
    I've got more!
[19:40] ---
    Aw, hell!
[19:45] ---
    Shut up!
[19:48] ---
    Take a nap!
[19:53] ---
    Orca!
[19:54] ---
    Shishido!
[19:55] ---
    You're late.
[19:56] ---
    Keep an eye on the villain
    until the police arrive.
[19:59] ---
    Do traffic control, too.
[20:02] ---
    Where are you going?
[20:03] ---
    Need you ask?
[20:06] ---
    The game must go on!
[20:10] ---
    I'll finish this with one pitch.
[20:13] ---
    Sounds good to me.
[20:21] ---
    Victory...
[20:23] ---
    ...is mine!
[20:28] ---
    Victory...
[20:33] ---
    ...belongs to me!
[20:46] ---
    I knew it...
[20:49] ---
    Baseball is...
[20:52] ---
    ...more fun than anything.
[20:56] ---
    The game is over! Both players are down!
[21:00] ---
    Tailman is not present, so HLB rules
    state that both teams withdraw!
[21:06] ---
    Therefore, today's HLB championship is
[21:10] ---
    a tie between the Orcas and the Lionels!
[21:25] ---
    I-I'm never playing baseball again.
[21:28] ---
    That really was a terrible time.
[21:33] ---
    I never should have agreed to help.
[21:38] ---
    Hey, somebody!
[21:40] ---
    Get me out of here!
[21:42] ---
    Hey, isn't anybody there?!
[21:45] ---
    Somebody!
[21:48] ---
    
[21:50] ---
