**[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] ---**
