Which School Will They Go To?"

[05:01] Sign
I'll Make You Remember
[05:01] Taro
I bet they went to some
prestigious school in the countryside.
[05:05] Taro/I
My name is Yamada Taro.
I'm a pitiful 15-year-old boy,
[05:09] Taro/I
whose baseball-loving father
gave his son a Joe Blow kind of name.
[05:13] Taro/I
I was king of the castle
in a weak senior league team,
[05:16] Taro/I
but playing Hoya Senior's team
was a real eye-opener for me.
[05:20] Taro/I
To me, it was like I'd closed my borders
and was swinging a bamboo spear...
[05:26] Taro/I
when a black ship showed up.
[05:29] Taro/I
Too scary! Too fast! I can't!
[05:30] Taro/I
These are the three things
athletes aren't allowed to say.
[05:36] Taro/I
I quit baseball.
[05:41] Taro/I
Tokyo Metropolitan Kotesashi High School.
Average for academics and sports,
[05:42] Sign
Tokyo Metropolitan Kotesashi High School
[05:44] Taro/I
and with no baseball team.
[05:46] Taro/I
This is the haven for Yamada Taro.
[05:53] Girl A
There's a total hunk over there.
[05:55] Girl B
For real? Let's go check it out.
[05:59] Girl C
You're so tall.
[06:01] Girl D
What grade are you in?
[06:03] Taro/I
Huh?
[06:05] Taro/I
Wait, no. It can't be.
[06:07] Taro/I
That magazine's got me seeing things.
It must be an illusion.
[06:10] Taro/I
At a glance, they look like Kiyomine Haruka
and Kaname Kei, but we've no baseball team,
[06:14] Taro/I
and they would've had their pick
of private powerhouse schools.
[06:17] Taro/I
Right. This is a public school.
[06:20] Taro/I
Huh? Why's he staring at me?
Did I do something?
[06:23] Kei
You saved me!
[06:27] Kei
None of those girls were talking to me.
[06:30] Kei
It was real awkward.
[06:31] Kei
I'm so glad to find a friend.
[06:33] Taro
Huh? A friend?
[06:35] Taro
I wouldn't exactly call us friends.
[06:38] Taro
We've never actually
talked before... You know?
[06:41] Kei
What? Is that so?
[06:43] Kei
Okay, okay!
[06:44] Kei
We'll be friends starting now!
[06:46] Taro
Huh?
[06:47] Kei
To honor the occasion, I'll give you
a special demonstration of my one-liner.
[06:54] Kei
Nipple hair!
[06:58] Kei
How's that?
[06:59] Taro/I
Kaname Kei.
[07:01] Taro/I
Calm and composed,
he's the unflappable catcher with brains.
[07:06] Kei
How was that? What did you think? Huh?
[07:06] Taro/I
But, uh, well...
[07:08] Taro/I
If this is the real Kaname Kei, it's like...
[07:13] Kei
I am myself, Kaname Kei.
[07:14] Kei
Welcome to meet you.
[07:16] Taro/I
Is he an idiot?
[07:18] Kei
Okay! And let's shake hands!
[07:20] Taro/I
Kaname Kei, my idol, looking so dumb...
[07:23] Kei
And then... Nipple hair!
[07:25] Kei
How was that?
[07:26] Kei
Huh? Huh? Huh?
[07:27] Taro/I
And he's the type that doesn't stop
until you laugh. This is too much.
[07:31] Kei
You want more, huh?
[07:32] Taro/I
Please let me go.
[07:34] Taro/I
Please. I'm begging you.
[07:37] Haruka
"Nipple hair." That's hilarious.
[07:40] Haruka
Who's this?
[07:42] Taro/I
So tall!
[07:43] Taro/I
He must be at least 185 cm tall.
[07:45] Taro
Y-Yamada Taro.
[07:47] Haruka
Yamada?
[07:49] Taro/I
A pitcher with a cannon and an incredible
physique, who's also a phenomenal batter.
[07:55] Taro/I
Perfect. Faultless.
That's Kiyomine Haruka.
[07:58] Taro/I
No doubt about it.
They're both here in the flesh.
[08:03] Kei
Kiyomine-san.
[08:04] Kei
What happened with those girls?
[08:07] Kei
Did you get their numbers?
[08:08] Haruka
I told them to go away because
they were being annoying, and they left.
[08:12] Taro/I
Has he no heart?!
[08:16] Kei
I can't talk to girls because I get nervous!
[08:19] Kei
I need you to do better, all right?!
[08:22] Taro/I
Wow, lame.
[08:23] Taro
Um, more importantly...
[08:25] Kei
"More importantly"?! Seriously, Yama-chan?!
[08:27] Taro
You two are Hoya Senior's
Kiyomine-Kaname battery, aren't you?
[08:31] Taro
Why are you at a public school
that has no baseball team?
[08:36] Taro/I
Huh? What's with that face?
[08:39] Kei
Aw, man. Baseball, baseball.
That's all everyone talks about.
[08:43] Kei
But I've never played it.
Or rather, I don't remember playing it.
[08:47] Taro
Huh?
[08:49] Kei
You see, the thing is, I have amnesia.
[08:54] Taro
Kaname-kun, you're not
quite what I expected.
[08:57] Taro
You're surprisingly silly.
[09:01] Kei
Silly? Who, me?
[09:02] Taro/I
Yes, you.
[09:06] Kei
Me?!
[09:07] Taro/I
Yes, you.
[09:09] Haruka
Kei's always clowned around.

I'm done.
[09:33] (Flashback) Little Haruka
But I want to play with Kei-chan.
[09:37] (Flashback) Little Kei
Huh?
[09:40] Haruka
Back in little league...
[09:42] (Flashback) Little Kei
Ugh, so exhausting.
[09:44] (Flashback) Little Kei
Ugh, so hard.
[09:45] (Flashback) Little Kei
Ugh, no more!
[09:46] Haruka
...he had no backbone.
[09:48] (Flashback) Little Kei
I'm dying! Too hard!
[09:50] (Flashback) Little Kei
I wanna go home!
[09:52] Haruka
And he was always complaining.
[09:55] Taro/I
Even if Kaname-kun was once
like how Kiyomine-kun describes,
[10:00] Taro/I
by the time they moved up to Hoya Senior...
[10:04] Taro/I
The strict discipline.
[10:07] Taro/I
The grueling training.
[10:11] Taro/I
The cutthroat competition.
[10:14] Taro/I
His position as starting catcher opened
Kaname-kun's eyes to how fun baseball can be.
[10:21] (Flashback) Kei
Our next opponent is Chihaya.
[10:23] (Flashback) Kei
If we hold that guy down, we can win.

[10:36] (Flashback) Kei
That's all you need to do.
[10:40] (Flashback) Kei
And I'll make you the best pitcher in Japan.
[10:47] Taro/I
So by "losing" baseball,
which used to keep him disciplined,
[10:52] Taro/I
the brains of the operation...
[10:56] Taro/I
...set free his silly side?
[10:58] Taro
It's unbelievable.
[11:00] Kei
I know. Amnesia's, like, so cool, right?
[11:03] Kei
I think I'm awesome.
[11:06] Kei
But hearing a story like that,
[11:08] Kei
it really sinks in that Haru-chan
truly is my childhood friend.
[11:14] Haruka
Yeah.
[11:14] Kei
Yay! All the breast!
[11:17] Taro/I
We only just met, so there's no need
for him to lie to me about that.
[11:20] Taro/I
Wait, does that mean
he really does have amnesia?
[11:23] Kei
All the breast!
[11:25] Taro/I
That's why he thought I was his friend
when our eyes met earlier.
[11:29] Kei
Hold on a minute.
[11:31] Kei
Then, is it possible I simply forgot
that I've already had a girlfriend—
[11:35] Haruka
You haven't.
[11:36] Kei
And I did this and that with her—
[11:38] Haruko
You didn't. Not at all.
[11:40] Kei
Fine! So I haven't had
a girlfriend! That's that!
[11:44] Kei
Man. This blows.
[11:44] Taro/I
This very ordinary public high school
[11:47] Taro/I
is attended by
Kiyomine Haruka and Kaname Kei.
[11:53] Taro/I
And I'm in the same class as them.
[11:57] Taro/I
Who'd believe a story like that?
[12:01] Kei
It's only a five-minute walk.
[12:02] Kei
And according to Google,
it's known for having lots of cute girls.
[12:07] Kei
Yup, I knew this school was the one for me.
[12:09] Taro
I'm sure there were other choices...
[12:11] Kei
I want to enjoy my high school life
with love and peace.
[12:15] Sign
And I just wanna
lose my virginity
[12:15] Kei
Baseball? No, thanks!
[12:19] Taro/I
What a waste.
[12:20] Taro/I
"Why?"
[12:21] Kei
Nipple hair!
[12:22] Kei
What do you think?
[12:22] Girl C
Hottie alert.
[12:22] Taro/I
It's too frustrating for me.
[12:23] Girl D
Wanna try talking to him?
[12:23] Haruka
It's funny.
[12:24] Kei
You mean it?
[12:25] Haruka
I mean it.
[12:25] Taro/I
Because this school...
[12:28] Taro/I
doesn't even have a baseball team.

[12:44] Taro/I
You're super low-level
if you don't know who they are.
[12:48] Sato
What about you, guy who looks so average,
it feels like your name should be Yamada?
[12:53] Taro/I
That is my name!
[12:55] Taro/I
Not a chance, at this point.
[12:57] Taro/I
No way I'm doing that.
[12:58] Taro/I
And neither will these two—
[13:00] Taro/I
Wait, you are*?!
[13:01] Taro/I
Kiyomine-kun is joining a baseball club?!
[13:05] Haruka
Yama, you join, too.

[13:24] Kei
I'd never play baseball!
[13:26] Kei
"Catcher" or whatever it is?
It can be anyone, right?
[13:30] Kei
I forgot the rules and
everything else, so I can't.
[13:33] Haruka
No.

But...
[13:51] Mitarai
'Sup.
[13:53] Kusuda
Working hard to get sign-ups, I see.
[13:56] Kusuda
What's this? We've got some first-years?
[13:59] Miratai
For real?
[14:00] Taro/I
How do we already have lousy seniors
when the club was newly created?
[14:05] Kusuda
You're buff. You got experience?
What's your position?
[14:10] Haruka
Pitcher.
[14:11] Kusuda
Ah. He's kinda... Right?
[14:14] Mitarai
Yeah.
[14:15] Kusuda
We got a cocky one.
[14:17] Mitarai
We were about to head over to the field.
[14:20] Kusuda
If you're a pitcher, come pitch for us.
[14:25] Sign

[14:29] Mitarai
I heard we used to have

[14:33] Kei

Yamada-kun, is this okay?
[14:37] Sato
Will you be all right?
[14:43] Kei
Yama-chan, are you serious?
[14:45] Kei
Super lame!
[14:46] Taro/I
I'm doing this 'cause you said
you wouldn't be the catcher.
[14:50] Kei
Lame! I can't believe it.
[14:52] Kusuda
Throw the ball already!
[15:11] Taro/I
I can't! I can't! I can't! I can't! I can't!
[15:12] Taro/I
There's no way I can catch
a pitch from Kiyomine-kun!
[15:16] Taro/I
I'm scared! I'm scared!
I'm scared! I'm scared!
[15:18] Taro/I
I'm scared! I'm scared!
I'm scared! I'm...
[15:21] Taro/I
Huh?
[15:22] Taro/I
That was like 100 kmh at best?
[15:26] Kusuda
So slow.
[15:28] Taro/I
He's slowing it down for me.
[15:46] Kusuda
This is just like at the batting center.
[15:49] Kusuda
It's the same as the 100 kmh pitches
we hit there all the time.
[15:52] Taro/I
Yeah. Like a machine.
[15:54] Taro/I
The speed and the line
are exactly the same.
[15:58] Taro/I
They're impossibly beautiful pitches.
[16:01] Kusuda
Here we go.
[16:04] Kusuda
You wanna stop?
[16:06] Kusuda
We'd feel bad if we toyed
with him anymore.
[16:11] Taro/I
I can't take it.
[16:12] Taro/I
It's too frustrating.
[16:14] Taro/I
Because of me,
Kiyomine-kun is being underestimated.
[16:20] Taro
Kiyomine-kun!
[16:22] Taro
You can go all-out now!
[16:24] Taro
I'm sorry for making you hold back!
[16:27] Taro
I'll catch it, no matter what!
[16:31] Mitarai
That pitcher's seriously lousy.
[16:35] Mitarai
Throws nothin' but easy-to-hit, straight ones,
then pretends he wasn't going all-out?
[16:44] Kei
Yama-chan!
[16:48] Kei
Sorry. Switch with me.
[16:52] Kei
I want to live in love and peace.
[16:57] Kei
So a situation like this
doesn't sit well with me.
[17:08] Kei
Lame! It stinks! It's itchy!
What is this thing?
[17:11] Taro/I
It's a protector.
[17:12] Kei
My nipples are pink.
[17:14] Taro/I
What do you mean?
[17:15] Kei
Pink equals cute, you know?
That's where I saw potential.
[17:19] Kei
So my strong suit must be my nipples.
[17:21] Taro/I
No, I think it could be
a range of other things.
[17:24] Kei
But just look at this!
[17:26] Kei
You can't see my nipples at all!
[17:28] Kei
Like, zero sex appeal!
[17:30] Taro/I
Shut up and put them away.
[17:32] Kei
Ack! Itchy again.
[17:34] Kei
My chin's itchy. Oh, man. So itchy.
[17:36] Taro
So you really did forget everything.
[17:39] Taro
Everything about baseball.
[17:41] Kei
Of course. I can't lie.
[17:44] Taro
Then, this is dangerous.
[17:47] Taro
You wanna tap out?
[17:50] Kei
I'll do it.
[17:51] Kei
That was a joke just now.
[17:54] Taro/I
I ought to stop him.
[17:56] Taro/I
But I can't help wanting to see...
[18:01] Taro/I
the moment the gifted battery returns.
[18:07] Kusuda
So a first-time catcher's
entering the fray, huh?
[18:09] Kusuda
But I guess even a first-timer
can catch this slow-ass pitch.
[18:14] Taro
That's right. Move your right hand
behind your thigh and don't move.
[18:18] Kei
Okay.
[18:19] Taro
Kiyomine-kun's control is perfect.
[18:23] Kei
There we go.
[18:25] Kei
Like this?
[18:26] Taro
Yeah. Looking good.
[18:32] Kei
It's hard.
[18:33] Kei
Squatting like this hurts my knees!
[18:36] Taro/I
Kaname-kun's form sure is perfect.
[18:51] Taro/I
The air's totally different
from when I was catching.
[18:55] Taro/I
Even watching him warm up
his arm is terrifying.
[18:59] Taro/I
That's right.
[19:00] Taro/I
This is Hoya Senior's Kiyomine Haruka.
[19:06] Taro/I
The demon that only appears
in front of Kaname Kei.
[19:13] Kusuda
Wh-What's going on?
[19:15] Taro/I
I still can't believe this.
[19:18] Taro/I
Why would Kiyomine-kun
come to a public school, too?
[19:26] Haruka
Kei, are you sure?
[19:28] Kei
I told you it's fine! Just throw already.
[19:31] Kei
I'm the only one who can
catch your pitches, right?
[19:36] Taro/I
I see.
[19:37] Taro/I
It's as simple as Kiyomine-kun wanting
to play baseball with Kaname-kun.
[19:42] Taro/I
And for that reason, he threw away
the scholarship, the bright future,
[19:47] Taro/I
the path to becoming
a pro baseball player...
[19:50] Taro/I
All of it. The whole lot.
[19:53] Taro/I
And he came to this unknown public school...
[19:57] Taro/I
so that he can stay in
a battery with Kaname-kun.
[20:06] Kei
Hey, my legs are starting to shake.
[20:08] Kei
I don't know if it's from fatigue or fear.
[20:14] Kei
Throw it with all you've got!
[20:16] Kei
Bring it!
[20:23] Haruka
Okay.
[20:59] Kusuda
I-I've got a date with
my girlfriend, so I'm going now.
[21:03] Mitarai
Y-Yeah, let's go.
[21:06] Kusuda
All of you, pick up those balls!
[21:13] Taro
You caught it.
[21:14] Kei
Yeah. I caught it.
[21:20] Kei
My hand is numb.
[21:25] Haruka
I'll make you remember
how fun baseball is with my pitching.
[21:39] Kei
No, no, no, I can't, I can't, I can't.
[21:42] Kei
No, thank you.
[21:44] Kei
I mean, take a look at my hand!
[21:47] Kei
See? It's red.
[21:49] Kei
It's oh so red. Ouchy.
[21:51] Kei
I might have broken bones. For real.
[21:54] Kei
Who would actually throw
a ball with all they've got?!
[21:57] Kei
I'm never playing baseball again!
[22:00] Kei
Haru-chan, you idiot!
[22:02] Kei
Yama-chan, you doo-doohead!
[23:40] Kei
Look at my swollen left hand!
[23:42] Kei
Like this, no one's gonna
want me as their groom!
[23:44] Taro
Being a catcher can be dangerous.
[23:46] Taro
I've heard tales about catchers
taking a bat to the head.
[23:49] Kei
Is being a catcher present-day torture?

[00:07] Kei
No, no, no, I can't, I can't, I can't.
[00:09] Kei
No, thank you.

[00:18] Haruka
Kei caught one of my pitches for the
first time. And it's thanks to you, Yama.

Huh?
[02:10] Kei
Nipple hair!
[02:14] Taro/I
His amnesia has made
Kaname-kun kind of dumb,
[02:16] Kei
How was that? Well?
[02:17] Haruka
Hilarious.
[02:18] Kei
I know, right?
[02:18] Taro/I
but these two are the real deal.
[02:21] Kei
Yama-chan, tell me what you thought.
[02:23] Taro
Uh, great. So, are you gonna go
observe the baseball team?
[02:27] Kei
As of now, my friendship
with you has ended.
[02:29] Taro
Huh? Where'd your chumminess go?
[02:32] Kei
Heck no! I said I wasn't
ever playing baseball again!
[02:35] Kei
It's stressful, stinky, and scary.
The three S's! No way!
[02:39] Taro/I
This is starting to irritate me.
[02:42] Taro/I
You two are the jewels
of the baseball world.
[02:45] Taro/I
It might be more of a club, but I want them
to at least be playing baseball.

That's Haru-chan's big brother for you!

With a whopping collection of 7,000 movies,
he's the king of smut appreciation-ists!

His big brother's gross!
[03:08] Haruka
Kei, come observe with us.
[03:10] Kei
Guess I'll have to.
[03:11] Taro/I
It worked?!
[03:12] Taro
I didn't know you watched that stuff, too.
[03:15] Haruka
I don't.
[03:16] Taro
Huh?
[03:16] Haruka
If I had the time,
I'd rather do weight training.
[03:18] Kei
And he means that.
His soul's been sucked dry by baseball.
[03:23] Kei
Right, Haru-chan?
[03:23] Taro/I
So you have to be that dedicated
to become a legend?
[03:24] Haruka
Yes.
[03:25] Kei
Right, Haru-chan?
[03:28] Kei
I'm so glad those jerkwad
seniors ain't here.
[03:31] Taro/I
More like, there's no one here.
[03:34] Taro
Some equipment's been left.
Enough to practice with.
[03:38] Kei
Come on, green. I need you, green.
[03:40] Kei
Man, I'm stuck. I'm stuck.
[03:42] Taro
Now that we're here,
why don't we try some batting?
[03:46] Taro
Join us, Kaname-kun.
[03:47] Kei
Hmm?
[03:49] Kei
What's that thing?
[03:52] Taro
This?
[03:54] Taro
It's a batting glove.
[03:57] Kei
A batting glove?
[04:00] Taro/I
Maybe he's more interested
in batting than being a catcher?
[04:05] Kei
Sweet! These score highly!
[04:08] Kei
They're so cool for baseball gear!
[04:10] Kei
If I wear these,
I'm bound to get a girlfriend!
[04:13] Taro/I
Glad you like them.
[04:15] Kei
Bring it!
[04:31] Taro
You're done already?!
[04:32] Kei
It's no fun if I can't hit the ball.
[04:34] Taro/I
Dude.
[04:35] Kei
Show me how to do it, will you?
[04:48] Taro/I
Top players can crush the heart of
an average one with just a swing of a bat.
[04:54] Taro/I
I can run every day, swing a bat
every day, catch fungoes every day...
[05:01] Taro/I
and practice every day until I hurl...
[05:06] Taro/I
But there's a level I still can't reach.
[05:09] Kei
Is Haru-chan actually awesome at this?
[05:12] Taro
He's way more than just "awesome."
[05:15] Taro
He was the ace and
cleanup for Hoya Senior.
[05:18] Taro
He's a prodigy... no, a genius.
[05:20] Kei
Gimme the bat!
[05:31] Kei
Am I actually totally lame?
[05:33] Taro/I
You've been totally lame since we met.
[05:35] Kei
I can't do it like Haru-chan.
[05:38] Taro
Well, uh, your torso's moving all around.
[05:41] Taro
Make it more like a solid drop.
[05:43] Kei
Huh? I don't get it.
[05:44] Haruka
Kei.
[05:46] Haruka
You're a lefty.
[05:49] Taro
Oh, you're right!
[05:51] Kei
What's that mean?
[05:53] Taro
Like this.
[05:55] Haruka
We can do some batting later.
Catch my pitches now.
[05:58] Taro/I
He's so self-centered.
[06:01] Taro/I
Sure, most pitchers are, but with
Kiyomine-kun's personality the way it is,
[06:05] Taro/I
getting Kaname-kun to join the team
is a dream within a dream.
[06:09] Taro/I
First, we need him to enjoy baseball.
[06:11] Kei
Hmm? You sure this is right?
[06:17] Kei
Oh, this might be easier.
[06:20] Taro/I
He's improving in no time.
[06:22] Taro
That's called "muscle memory."
[06:25] Taro
Nice. Looking good!
[06:28] Taro/I
If I were in Kaname-kun's shoes, I don't think
I'd be doing nearly as well.
[06:33] Taro/I
He's looking smug, too.
[06:35] Taro
Do you want to try batting again?
[06:40] Taro/I
Kiyomine-kun is definitely a genius.
[06:48] Taro/I
But you know, Kaname-kun...
[06:54] Taro/I
You were the three-hole for
the prestigious Hoya Senior.
[06:59] Kei
All right!
[07:02] Taro/I
I'm sure there were many other
middle-school baseball players like me
[07:06] Taro/I
who were crushed by you guys.
[07:09] Chihaya
Huh?
[07:11] Todo
Huh?
[07:17] Taro
Nice batting!
[07:17] Kei
Yes! I did it!
[07:19] Taro
That was amazing, Kaname-kun!
[07:19] Kei
Yama-chan, did you see? Did you?
[07:20] Taro
Yeah, I saw it!
[07:21] Kei
Did you really? Did you?
[07:21] Chihaya
I didn't think this school
had a baseball team.
[07:23] Taro
It was amazing!
[07:24] Todo
Those two...
[07:30] Chihaya
Perhaps I'm overtired.
[07:32] Todo
What the hell are you two doing here?!
[07:36] Chihaya/Todo
Huh?
[07:41] Kei
Wanna play together?
[07:51] Chihaya
No.
[07:52] Todo
No way.

E-Excuse me!

Yes. And?

[08:06] Todo
And what the hell

[08:10] Chihaya
I heard a rumor you went to Teitoku.
[08:17] Todo
Hey. Why are your faces saying,
"Not this again," huh?
[08:21] Taro/I

[08:51] Chihaya
Why here?
[08:52] Haruka
Kei said he was applying here.
[08:54] Kei
It was so close.
Just a five-minute walk. Nice, huh?

Ouch! What's that for?

Smart phones are convenient, but nothing
beats sneaking behind your parents' backs.
[09:13] Todo
Shut up a minute or I'll make you cry.
[09:17] Todo
I made sure I wouldn't see any baseball,
be it regionals or nationals. Know why?
[09:23] Todo
Because I never wanted to see
your damn battery again!
[09:29] Chihaya
You completely shut me out in that game.
[09:32] Chihaya
I simply wasn't good enough.
It's not that big a deal.
[09:38] Chihaya
But it's true, there are some people
you never want to see again.
[09:41] Chihaya
In that regard, I am with you.
[09:46] Taro/I
Huh? What? Why the finger?
[09:48] Kei
Hold up. This is seriously bad.
I don't remember a thing.
[09:52] Kei
Why are we so hated? It's unreal.
[09:55] Taro
Well, when people are
too strong, they attract hate.
[09:58] Kei
No, no, no, no, no, Marilyn Mon-no!
[10:00] Kei
I'm living my life with love and peace!
[10:02] Taro
If you tell them you have amnesia,
they probably won't believe you.
[10:06] Taro
So maybe act like you remember them,
but dodge any questions.
[10:09] Kei
I-I see.
[10:11] Kei
What a devilish idea.
[10:12] Taro/I
Is this gonna work?
[10:14] Kei
Of course I r-remember, don'tcha know?
[10:17] Taro/I
Yeah, this won't work.
[10:18] Kei
I-I'm Kei-chan, don'tcha know?
[10:20] Taro/I
A bad imitation of Sugi-chan

[10:22] Kei
Baseball means summer.
[10:24] Kei
And summer means...
[10:26] Kei
Last summer, I went to the pool with my mom,
and she apparently got an upset stomach. Yup.
[10:31] Taro/I
A sad episode out of the blue.
[10:36] Kei
What brand of batting gloves do you use?
[10:38] Taro/I
Then skipping to
a totally unrelated topic.

Anyway, I remember everything!
[10:52] Taro/I
Then forcing a finish!
Seriously, what the hell?
[10:55] Todo
We never really talked
since you were our opponent, but...
[11:00] Chihiya
Were you always this stupid?
[11:03] Chihiya
Or are you making fun of us?
[11:05] Todo
Bring it. If you want a fight, you got one.
[11:10] Chihaya/Todo
Amnesia?
[11:12] Kei
I had no malicious intentions whatsoever.
[11:15] Kei
So don't hate me! Please love me!
[11:18] Kei
If I think someone hates me,
I can barely eat or sleep at night.

we follow each other online, huh?!
[11:29] Taro
Chihaya-kun. Todo-kun.
[11:31] Taro
Won't you join the baseball team?
[11:36] Taro
There are so many great players here.
I think it's fate.
[11:41] Taro
It'd be sacrilegious not to play, right?
[11:43] Taro
Because we could go to Ko—
[11:46] Taro/I
Saying Koshien would be too bold.
[11:54] Todo
Are you an idiot?
[11:58] Todo
For me, it'd be more
sacrilegious to keep playing.
[12:10] Taro/I
The best player leads the team.
[12:13] Taro/I
Their play sets the mood,
creates the flow, makes the game,
[12:19] Taro/I
determines a game's outcome...
[12:26] Taro/I
even decides the fate of their teammates,
who stuck together through thick and thin.
[12:32] Todo
I quit baseball.
[12:34] Todo
I have no regrets or attachments.
[12:36] Todo
That's why I chose this school.
[12:42] Taro/I
But look at how they unconsciously
hold their bags
[12:45] Taro/I
to avoid burdening their right shoulders.
[12:48] Taro/I
They've devoted 99%
of their lives to baseball.
[12:53] Taro/I
That's the caliber of player they are.
[12:56] Taro/I
Baseball's become a part of them.
The only way to tear it out
[12:59] Taro/I
is to physically cut off all ties to it.
[13:02] Taro/I
And yet...
[13:05] Haruka
Did I beat your teams in the past?
[13:09] Haruka

I don't care if it's a lie or not,

a damn amateur with no memory.
[14:13] Taro/I
A stance that oozes power.
[14:15] Taro/I
Todo-kun probably
still trains his lower body.
[14:19] Taro/I
The habit of running every day
must be hard to shake.
[14:22] Taro/I
This at-bat battle isn't
just a simple turn at bat.
[14:32] Kei
Timeout! And change!
[14:35] Todo
Huh? What the hell?

Seriously, what the hell?
Do you wanna do this or not?
[14:40] Kei
Of course I don't want to!
[14:43] Todo
Then get the hell out!
[14:44] Kei
It might not look it, but I know
how to read the room, right?
[14:48] Todo
Who cares?
[14:49] Kei
If I'm just standing in the corner
and doing nothing...
[14:54] Kei
I look like a jerk, y'know?
[14:55] Todo
Don't worry. You guys have always been jerks.
[14:59] Kei
What?
[15:01] Kei
Now that we're in high school,
I want to be friends with you, Aoi-chan.
[15:06] Todo
H-Huh?!
[15:08] Kei
Ack! Stop!
[15:08] Todo
"Aoi-chan"? Don't act so familiar!
[15:11] Todo
Call me Mr. Todo!
[15:12] Kei
My bones are broken! I'm going home!
[15:15] Todo
You're throwing me off.
[15:18] Taro/I
But somehow, the air feels like it's cleared.
[15:22] Haruka
Kei, are you sure?
[15:23] Kei
I don't think I am, so gimme a soft one!
[15:27] Taro/I
But what exactly?
[15:28] Kei
Yama-chan, I need you.
[15:29] Taro/I
Again with the finger!
[15:31] Kei
Right. Just like that.
[15:33] Kei
Continue to support me gently.
[15:35] Kei
Or sometimes fiercely, like I might break.
[15:37] Kei
Promise me you'll never
leave me for the rest of time.
[15:40] Taro
Yeah, no thank you.
[15:42] Kei
But then I'm gonna end up like
what happens in battle manga!
[15:46] Kei
So please, Yama-chan!
[15:48] Taro/I
Ah, I want to go home.
[15:50] Taro
Do we have any signs?
[15:51] Kei
Sign?
[15:52] Kei
I do.
[15:52] Sign
To Yama-chan
[15:53] Taro
Beautiful handwriting!
Wait, where'd you get the paper?
[15:56] Kei
The first thing I did after losing my memory
was practice signing my autograph.
[16:01] Taro
When you didn't even know who you were?
[16:03] Taro
But no, that's not what I meant.
[16:05] Taro
By "sign," I meant for the pitch type.
[16:07] Kei
Hm? The pitch type? What's that?
[16:09] Todo
Stop blabbing and let's go already!
[16:12] Kei
Hmm? You want an autograph, too, Aoi-chan?
[16:13] Todo
No!
[16:14] Kei
What's a pitch type?
[16:15] Todo
The type of throw, you dunce!
[16:17] Taro/I
He rolled with it.
[16:18] Haruka
Kei, get ready.
[16:21] Haruka
I'll only throw it down the pipe.
[16:24] Todo
Yeah?
[16:25] Todo
Is that your excuse for when you lose?
[16:32] Taro/I
First pitch.
[16:33] Taro/I
To start off, a 110 kph pitch.
[16:35] Taro/I
Wait, Todo-san?!
[16:37] Taro/I
A full swing?
[16:39] Taro
Strike.
[16:40] Taro/I
He swung way too high.
[16:42] Todo
What was that pitch?
[16:44] Todo
It was so slow, I thought
I'd throw my back out.
[16:46] Taro/I
He threw away a swing just to taunt him?
[16:50] Kei
My chin's itchy.
[16:51] Taro/I
Get over it.
[16:58] Taro/I
Wasn't that rather fast?
[17:00] Kei
Nice batching!
[17:02] Taro/I
You mean "pitching."
[17:03] Taro/I
A straight ball pitched at a faster speed
doesn't drop as much as a slower one,
[17:10] Taro/I
but Kaname-kun was able
to adjust and catch it.
[17:12] Kei
Man, I'm pooped. It's tacky. And itchy.
[17:15] Taro/I
He could bat fine, so Kaname-kun's muscles
must also remember this to some extent.
[17:22] Chihaya
They're both so aggressive.
[17:24] Chihaya
Which means the third pitch
will definitely be...
[17:28] Chihaya/Todo/Haruka/I
...at full power.
[17:41] Chihaya
How dynamic.
[17:45] Kei
Holy wow! Is that what
you call a home run?
[17:51] Todo
Well, I'd give it 60 points.
[17:53] Taro/I
A shortstop with strong arms whose
full swing sends any pitch over the fence.
[17:57] Taro/I
Former Oizumi Senior player...
[17:59] Todo
Shortstop and leadoff hitter.
That's Mr. Aoi Todo to you!
[18:02] Todo
Remember it, dunce!
[18:06] Haruka
That was just a warm-up.
[18:09] Haruka
One more go.
[18:10] Todo
Huh? I won.
[18:12] Todo
It's over.
[18:14] Haruka
That's for me to decide.
[18:19] Todo
Stop pitching!
[18:20] Todo
You're the one who provoked me.
How selfish are you?
[18:24] Todo
Say something, you bastard!
[18:27] Chihaya
Well, this is a problem.
[18:29] Chihaya
I know this is a single at-bat battle,
but I don't have that kind of slugging power.
[18:34] Chihaya
I'd only look pathetic if I took my turn
at bat after that performance.
[18:39] Todo
Stop pitching, I said!
[18:41] Todo
I can't stop reflexively swinging!
[18:45] Todo
Hey, are you listening to me?
[18:46] Chihaya
There we go.
[18:47] Todo
Enough already!
[18:53] Kei/Taro
What?!
[18:54] Todo
So fast!
[18:59] Chihaya
Oops.
[19:03] Chihaya
Got it.
[19:09] Chihaya
My arm's not strong, so it's a one hop.
[19:11] Taro/I
A fleet-footed all-rounder who flies around
the bases with his batting control and agility.
[19:16] Taro/I
Former Fujimi Senior player...
[19:18] Chihaya
Second baseman and leadoff hitter.
Shunpei Chihaya, at your service.
[19:21] Taro/I
Talk about rapid!
[19:23] Taro/I
I can't wait to see his defense.
[19:24] Chihaya
Oh, shoot. I'm all sandy now.
[19:25] Todo
Leadoff hitter, huh?
[19:26] Todo
That's my spot in the order.
[19:28] Chihaya
And these are new socks.
[19:30] Haruka
Compete with me.
[19:32] Taro/I
You need to challenge him, too?!
[19:33] Chihaya
I'd love to, but some other time.
[19:36] Haruka
Right now.
[19:36] Chihaya
I have other plans.
[19:38] Haruka
This minute.
[19:39] Chihaya
I apologize.
[19:40] Taro/I
Chihaya-kun seems like he'd be
good at lying, unlike Kaname-kun.
[19:45] Kei
Hey, listen.
[19:46] Kei
Y'know, I hate being a catcher 'cause my chin
gets itchy, it looks tacky, and my hand hurts.
[19:51] Kei
But, playing with all of you...
baseball does feel kinda fun.
[19:57] Todo
This is dumb.
[19:59] Chihaya
Please excuse me.
[20:01] Chihaya
I hope you guys enjoy your baseball club.
[20:04] Taro/I
No...
[20:08] Taro
Wait—
[20:09] Haruka
Aoi Todo.
[20:11] Haruka
Shunpei Chihaya.
[20:16] Haruka
I remembered them.
[20:19] Todo
You'd better have.
[20:20] Chihaya
I'm honored.
[20:26] Taro/I
I feel you.
[20:27] Taro/I
It's frustrating, right?
[20:29] Taro/I
Being so happy that a strong player
recognized you, even when you can't stand him.
[20:35] Taro/I
But that's the nature
of those who play baseball.
[20:39] Kei
But gosh, can you see the sparkle
of the springtime of life?
[20:42] Kei
After the rain comes sunshine,
and past grudges are washed away, right?
[20:47] Taro/I
He's saying unnecessary stuff again!
[20:49] Kei
Will you be my friends?
[20:51] Todo
Hell no! Get off me, idiot!
[20:53] Chihaya
Sorry, but I require a great deal
of personal space.
[20:56] Taro/I
That did serious damage.
[20:57] Kei
Wh-Why do you think I manned up
and played the lame catcher?
[21:01] Kei
This isn't what I signed up for!
[21:03] Todo
Not my problem.
[21:04] Kei
That's so horrible and cruel!
Ah, my anxiety!
[21:07] Kei
I don't think I'll sleep tonight 'cause
I'm anxious that everyone hates me now!
[21:10] Kei
My skin's gonna look awful tomorrow!
[21:13] Taro/I
Like we care.
[21:15] Taro
Todo-kun, Chihaya-kun, join the baseball—
[21:18] Todo
No chance.
[21:19] Todo
Why would I turn down private school offers,
then play baseball at a public school, idiot?
[21:24] Chihaya
My thoughts exactly.
I'm never playing baseball again.
[21:30] Taro/I
I don't know why, but somehow,
I can see a future where they join the team.
[23:14] Teitoku 1
Last one!
[23:16] Teitoku 2
Let's go! Next one!
[23:19] Kokuto
Coach.
[23:21] Coach
Kokuto? What is it?
[23:23] Kokuto
There's a school I'd like you
to set up a practice match with.
[23:27] Coach
Which one?
[23:28] Kokuto
Tokyo Metropolitan Kotesashi High.
[23:30] Coach
A public school? What's your intention?
[23:33] Kokuto
I'm not 100% sure, but I hear that's
where the Kiyomine-Kaname battery is.
[23:40] Taro
Think those two will
join the baseball team?
[23:42] Haruka
I don't know.
[23:43] Taro
But right now, we can't field an outfield.
[23:45] Haruka
I'll strike them all out.
[23:47] Taro
But Kaname-kun will
have to catch everything.
[23:49] Taro
I knew it would be,
but it's a rocky road ahead.

My brother can cater to your tastes and such
if he knows your play style in baseball.

No, if you really think

Nice. Feel free to keep talking to me.

Oh, come on, Kei-chan.

Haru-chan, you're as handsome as always.

[05:18] Taro

[05:20] Chihaya
Thank you for having us.

Oh, gosh! You're all so handsome!
I wish I had sons like you.

He doesn't need to be so embarrassed.
[05:33] Kei'S Mom
You're all kissless virgins, aren't you?
[05:36] Kei'S Mom
I can tell this sort of thing.
[05:38] Kei'S Mom
Are you surprised?
[05:39] Taro/I
I-I spoke too soon.
She's, uh, rather out there.
[05:46] Kei
Y-Y-Y-You...
[05:50] Kei
You old hag!
[05:59] Kei
I'm so sorry. I didn't think she'd be here.
[06:03] Taro/I
I never expected a sincere
apology from Kaname-kun.
[06:11] Kei
Huh? What is it? What's wrong?
[06:19] Kei
So weak.
[06:20] Kei
This Calpico's so weak.
[06:22] Taro/I
No, it's fine. I was actually
hoping it'd be weak.

He's cracking up.
[06:31] Kei
Do you despise me for
having the same blood as her?
[06:36] Chihaya
No.

I may feel sorry for you, but...
[06:40] Chihaya
Right, Todo-kun?
[06:41] Todo
Yeah.

Having her in your family must be...

Good for you, Kaname-kun.
Your likability has shot up.

[07:39] Todo
Wow, sick. This is the type
the good players use.
[07:42] Chihaya
It's very well-maintained, too.
[07:44] Todo
Well, a good horse becomes
never a jade, even if it's stupid.
[07:49] Chihaya
I suppose you could say that.
[07:51] Kei
I-It doesn't mean anything.
[07:52] Kei
Google said it was expensive,
so I just kept it there.
[07:58] Kei
I don't even remember having it!
[08:00] Chihaya
But the fact you can't
just throw it away means...
[08:03] Todo
You like baseball after all.
[08:05] Kei
Shut up! I told you I hate it!
[08:08] Taro/I
Teasing brought out his immature side.
[08:10] Kei
First of all, not throwing something out
doesn't equate to liking it. That's crazy talk!
[08:15] Kei
I bet you two have yours, too!
[08:17] Taro/I
Good point.
[08:18] Todo
D-Don't say stupid stuff!
[08:19] Chihaya
That's obviously not true!
[08:21] Todo
I already burned my glove.
I set it on fire!
[08:25] Chihaya
I threw mine into the sea!
[08:28] Taro/I
Sounds like they have cringeworthy
memories of youth about theirs.
[08:33] Kei
You clearly still have yours! So lame!

What?! You're the lame one!

It's instinctive and they're in
full control of their bodies.
[12:19] Taro/I
I can't believe they've been away.
[12:27] Taro/I
I see. They haven't done this in a while.
[12:31] Taro/I
Even playing catch...
[12:38] Kei
What am I being made to do right now?
[12:41] Taro/I
Catching the ball.
[12:43] Kei
Hey, Haru-chan! I told you
I'm an amateur now! Don't go all-out!
[12:48] Haruka
Kei, don't ever drop the ball when I pitch.
[12:52] Taro/I
He's too strict on himself and others.
[12:55] Chihaya
Kei Kaname was known
for never giving up a passed ball.
[12:59] Chihaya
That was a shock.
[13:01] Todo
What is that creature
that looks like Kei Kaname?
[13:05] Haruka
Keep your eyes on me.
[13:08] Kei
I-I-I am!
[13:10] Haruka
You're not.
[13:10] Kei
I am, but it's too fast and I can't follow!
[13:13] Taro
Now, now.
[13:14] Suzuki
Hey, everyone!
[13:17] Sato
We've got a problem!
[13:18] Suzuki
We just received a request
for a practice game!
[13:18] Sign
To Kotesashi High School Baseball Team
[13:21] Taro/Todo/Chihaya
What?
[13:22] Todo
And where is this unbelievable school?
[13:25] Suzuki
Let's see...
[13:27] Sato
It's Teitoku High School.
[13:28] Taro/Todo/Chihaya
What?!
[13:28] Kei
Huh?

Oh, then we can win.
[13:58] Todo
Kaname! If the catcher sucks, we won't!
[13:58] Chihaya
Kaname-kun, there's much more
that goes into winning a baseball game.
[13:59] Taro/I
That comment will surely piss off
Todo-kun and Chihaya-kun.
[14:04] Taro
T-Todo-kun?
[14:07] Todo
Don't touch me.
[14:08] Taro
What's wrong?
You were having fun a minute ago.
[14:12] Todo
I made the wrong choice.
[14:15] Todo
If I was going to continue baseball,
I should've come to Teitoku.
[14:19] Taro
What? You got an offer from Teitoku?
[14:21] Todo
Why wouldn't I?
They guaranteed a spot for me.
[14:25] Taro
Stand up. Come on, Aoi-sama.
[14:27] Taro
Huh? Not you, too, Chihaya-kun!
[14:29] Chihaya
Yeah, I got that, too.
[14:34] Taro/I
There's no end to their regrets.
[14:36] Sign
Annoyed
[14:36] Haruka
They offered special
scholarships to Kei and me.
[14:39] Taro/I
You bring that up now*?
Don't you see how they might take that?
[14:45] Taro/I
I understand how they feel.
[15:00] Taro/I
I have a sad prediction.
[15:03] Taro/I
They will surely transfer.
[15:08] Taro/I
If they come here,
they can improve greatly.
[15:13] Taro/I
And that's the right thing to do.
[15:18] Teitoku B
Kotesashi? Where's that?
[15:20] Teitoku G
A public school.
[15:21] Teitoku C
Huh? What's that mean?
[15:23] Teitoku G
No clue.
[15:24] Teitoku C
Let's destroy 'em.
[15:26] Teitoku B
Such a waste of time.
[15:28] Teitoku B
Are you from Kotesashi High?
[15:31] Taro
O-Oh, yes. Excuse us.
[15:34] Teitoku B
Hello.
[15:35] Teitoku Players
Thank you for coming today!
[15:41] Taro/I
Attack with politeness.
[15:47] Taro/I
But we're disconnected*
in all kinds of ways.
[15:50] Teitoku B
Let us show you to the baseball field.
[15:53] Teitoku B
Right this way.
[15:58] Taro/I
Teitoku's the king.
[16:02] Taro
Thank you for this game!
[16:10] Taro/I
So what?
[16:15] Haruka
Thanks.
[16:16] Kei
Hi there. All the breast.
[16:19] Kei
Wanna follow each other online?
[16:21] Teitoku B; C
Huh?
[16:22] Chihaya
Yamada-kun...
[16:23] Todo

[16:26] Todo/Chihaya
Thank you for this game!
[16:28] Suzuki/Sato
Th-Thank you!
[16:31] Taro/I
I know we can hold our own.
[16:37] Teitoku B
All right, come on over.
[16:45] Kei
Wow, so big.
[16:50] Teitoku H
Oh, hey!
[16:51] Kusuda
I'm telling you—Whoa!
[16:52] Mitarai
Whoa!
[16:54] Kokuto
Kiyomine-kun! Kaname-kun!
[16:56] Kokuto
It's been a while.
I'm so glad to see you again.
[16:59] Kokuto
I didn't expect you to go to
a public school instead of Teitoku.
[17:03] Kokuto
What's the deal?
[17:06] Haruka
Who are you again?
[17:08] Kokuto
Um, you don't... remember me?
[17:13] Haruka
Sorry, but I don't recall.
[17:15] Haruka
Who are you?
[17:16] Teitoku H
Huh?!
[17:17] Teitoku I
It's Kokuto!
[17:18] Teitoku I
Eiichiro Kokuto!
[17:21] Teitoku H
Handsome and honorable,
[17:23] Teitoku H
he's a slugger who makes
good use of his height.
[17:28] Teitoku I
He's Teitoku's cleanup
despite being a first-year,
[17:31] Teitoku I
and his overwhelming skills
make him the big bopper of the team!
[17:35] Todo
Don't they know who Kokuto is?
[17:37] Chihaya
In the case of Kiyomine-kun,
he forgets anyone who's lost to him.
[17:41] Kokuto
You forgot about me, too, Kaname-kun?
[17:43] Kei
Wh-Who, me?
[17:45] Kokuto
And our promise we made that day.
[17:46] Kei
Our promise that day?
[17:49] Kei
Oh, that day. Right, right, right.
[17:51] Kei
Righty-tighty.
[17:52] Kei
By the way, who's your favorite adult star?
[17:55] Kei
Mine's Momonacchi.
[17:57] Kokuto
I see.
[17:59] Kokuto
It's a real shame, but it is what it is.
[18:01] Kokuto
It's my fault for being such
an insignificant player in your eyes.
[18:06] Kokuto
I'll work hard here at Teitoku.
[18:08] Kokuto
I'll work really, really hard,
and at the end of all that hard work,
[18:12] Kokuto
I'll make sure you never forget
the name of Eiichiro Kokuto.
[18:19] Kei
Yama-chan, help me!
[18:20] Taro/I
I can't! So don't give me
the sign like you're pooping!
[18:23] Coach
Manager Iwasaki, why'd you set up a practice
game with an unknown public school?
[18:28] Iwasaki
Kokuto said something that intrigued me.
[18:30] Coach
About the Hoya Senior battery
of Kiyomine and Kaname?
[18:35] Iwasaki
Obviously, there's no way they'd be there.
[18:37] Coach
We managed to bag Kokuto, but missing out
on them was a huge loss for us.
[18:42] Iwasaki
Yeah, we need two more.
[18:44] Iwasaki
There was this great keystone combo,
Chihaya and Todo.
[18:48] Iwasaki
They're... Huh?
[18:49] Kokuto
Stop it, please.
[18:51] Kokuto
It was my fault for
not being strong enough.
[18:55] Teitoku H
How dare you! Our Kokuto's strong,
kind, and the best guy around!
[19:00] Teitoku H
You're less than weak,
you water flea of a public school!
[19:03] Coach
Hey, first-years!
What are you doing? Stop that!
[19:06] Kei
I have no malicious intent.
Please don't hate me.
[19:09] Kei
Please love me.
[19:11] Todo
We're so sorry.
These guys truly are morons.
[19:13] Todo
Chihaya, do something.
[19:15] Todo
Hey, don't escape reality!
[19:16] Haruka
Yama, please.
[19:18] Taro
I can't!
[19:22] Coach
M-Manager?
[19:24] Iwasaki
They're here?!
[19:26] Coach
M-Manager?
[19:27] Iwasaki
At a public school?!
[19:28] Coach
M-Manager!
[19:29] Iwasaki
All four of you?!
[19:30] Coach
M-Manager?!
[19:32] Coach
M-Manager, you're losing everyone.
[19:37] Iwasaki
Go warm up, you idiots!
[19:40] Coach
M-Manager, are you crying?
[19:42] Iwasaki
I'm not! Go warm up!
[19:44] Coach
But you're cry—
[19:45] Iwasaki
I'm not! You got that?
[19:47] Coach/Kokuto
Y-Yes, sir!
[19:53] Iwasaki
Maybe I'm—
[19:53] Coach
No, this is reality.
[19:55] Iwasaki
I see.
[19:56] Iwasaki
Then, to uphold Teitoku's honor,
we'll crush them with everything we've got.
[20:02] Coach
I can see you really
wanted them on the team.
[20:05] Iwasaki
Who needs those guys?
[20:07] Iwasaki
I never thought, "With Kokuto, we'd have
a super-duper strong first-year team of five!"
[20:11] Coach
So you did.
[20:13] Iwasaki
I didn't!
[20:15] Iwasaki
But if they want to transfer across to us,
I'll be very nice to them.

[02:54] Kei
Let's get that geezer behind me
to catch it. He looks bored.
[02:58] Taro/I
Don't call him a geezer.
Being an umpire isn't easy!
[03:01] Kei
Anyway, no more pitching at full power!
[03:04] Kei
Marilyn Mon-no!
[03:06] Haruko
No can do.
[03:07] Kei
Hey!
[03:08] Taro
Now, now. Let's just cheer on Todo-kun—
[03:20] Taro
Huh?!
[03:22] Teitoku I
He got a hit off the first pitch?!
[03:26] Kei
Wow! Awesome!
[03:28] Taro
A home run!
[03:30] Takagi

[03:32] Takagi

Teitoku scouted for my supreme control.
[03:36] Taro/I
We get it. You wanted to
say that before that last pitch.
[03:39] Todo
Swinging full-power from the very first pitch
is how Mr. Aoi Todo truly shines!
[03:48] Kei
That was awesome, Aoi-chan!
[03:50] Todo
As it should be.
[03:52] Kei
So how did you do that?
[03:55] Todo
H-How?
[03:56] Todo
I-I predicted it, obviously.
I said, "This one's a curveball."
[04:00] Kei
"Predicted"?! But how'd
you know what he'd throw?
[04:02] Todo
H-How? Guess it was...

[04:27] Todo
Ah, then hush up and do so.

I'm number one.
[04:31] Todo
Ah, hush up. I'm number one.
[04:33] Haruka
I am.
[04:34] Todo
I am!
[04:34] Haruka
I am.
[04:35] Todo
I am! Anyway, what's that moron doing?
[04:38] Kei
Being in this circle rocks.
Don't I look really cool?
[04:43] Kei/I
"Upload some photos of me
looking cool on social media."
[04:49] Takagi
Known as the Mad Dog of Fukuoka.
[04:51] Takagi
I'm Takagi, a right-handed pitcher
Teitoku scouted for my supreme control.
[04:55] Takagi
I'll show you my serious pitch.
[04:58] Taro/I
Oh, whew. He got to say it first this time.
[05:02] Umpire
Ball!
[05:09] Umpire
Strike!
[05:16] Umpire
Strike!
[05:19] Haruka
He let a fastball go.
I would have hit a home run.
[05:22] Todo
If you don't swing at the
first pitch, you're no good.
[05:25] Taro/I
You're supposed to root
for your teammate.
[05:27] Takagi/I
The tip of his bat hasn't
moved an inch. I don't like this.
[05:34] Takagi/I
In that case, try this!
[05:39] Takagi/I
This one?
[05:43] Takagi/I
He's got some mad bat control.
No matter the pitch, he hits it foul.
[05:48] Takagi/I
C'mon, I need you to hit it fair.
[05:50] Takagi/I
This is draining in the first inning.
[05:54] Haruka
Hit it fair.
[05:56] Todo
What are you doing?
Put some more oomph into it!
[05:59] Taro/I
Nah, this is amazing!
Look how hard the pitcher's taking it.
[06:04] Umpire
Strike!
[06:05] Umpire
You're out!
[06:07] Chihaya
I see. So you're calling that
in the strike zone today, huh?
[06:12] Teitoku Catcher/I
Man, talk about annoying. You think
you've got a better eye than the umpire?
[06:17] Haruka
I would have hit a home run.
[06:19] Todo
Can't you show some hustle?
[06:21] Chihaya
Well, the first inning is for
assessing the pitching, you know.
[06:26] Coach
M-Manager?
[06:28] Iwasaki
H-He's so cool.
[06:31] Coach
M-Manager?
[06:32] Todo
Put your back into it!
[06:34] Chihaya
You can do it!
[06:36] Taro/I
These two incredible players playing for
a public school really is bizarre, isn't it?
[06:45] Iwasaki
Next up is Hoya Senior's
indomitable three-hole.
[06:48] Iwasaki
The catcher who can also hit: Kei Kaname.
[06:51] Iwasaki
With his extraordinary batting control,
he likes to spray long balls around.
[06:57] Coach
He's good at reading the game, too.
[06:59] Coach
I'm excited to see how he approaches this.
[07:06] Umpire
You're out!
[07:14] Kei
What?
[07:15] Taro/I
Uh, nothing.
[07:20] Kei
You know, both of you were hitting those
pitches like wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
[07:25] Todo/Chihaya
"Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am"?
[07:26] Kei
I just took my first turn at bat ever,
[07:31] Kei
and based on that experience,
I came up with a theory.
[07:35] Kei
The bat actually hitting
the ball is pretty rare.
[07:43] Todo
Well, uh, if you hit about three times out of ten...
[07:46] Chihaya
That's considered pretty good, yeah.
[07:50] Taro/I
They're lost for words.
[07:52] Kei
So here's an idea.
[07:54] Kei
Would you two be interested
in transferring to Teitoku?
[08:00] Taro/I
Seriously? He just blurted out
what I couldn't bring myself to say.
[08:04] Chihaya
Um, I don't get what you mean.
[08:07] Todo
I turned 'em down. Not interested now.
[08:09] Kei
Well, of course, I'd hate to be separated
from you, now that we're best buds.
[08:14] Chihaya
We're not best buds.
[08:16] Kei
Even if you transfer,
we'll follow each other online,
[08:19] Kei
send each other stickers daily,
and hang out weekly.
[08:23] Kei
If we can keep all that up,
we'll stay friends, right?
[08:27] Taro/I
Those sound like requests
from a clingy girlfriend.
[08:30] Kei
In our current party, I'm the only one still
with wayfarer's clothes and an oaken club.
[08:35] Kei
I'd be beaten by a slime, you know?
[08:38] Kei
And you'd all be like, "Wha?"
[08:40] Taro/I
Yeah, I guess.
[08:42] Kei
It's too unbalanced.
[08:44] Kei
So my take is that you two would be
better off in a higher-level guild.
[08:49] Taro/I
That's your take, is it?
[08:51] Kei
Now that it's settled, we've got to beat them
to prove how good you two are.
[08:55] Todo
Hey, don't just steam ahead like that!
[08:58] Chihaya
Transferring at this point
would be a hassle.
[09:01] Kei
Huh? Why?
[09:03] Kei
You two looked like you wanted to transfer.
[09:06] Todo
I, uh...
[09:07] Chihaya
Not really.
[09:09] Taro/I
That gave me a start.
[09:11] Taro/I
Due to his memory loss,
Kaname-kun might look like he's spacing out,
[09:15] Taro/I
but his observation skills haven't dimmed.
[09:19] Todo
Still, beat Teitoku?
[09:22] Todo
You're totally underestimating baseball.
[09:24] Taro/I
Exactly.
[09:26] Taro/I
This is a practice game
we are certain to lose.
[09:30] Taro/I
However...
[09:35] Haruka
A home run.
[09:36] Taro/I
This guy's at Level 100, so who knows?
[09:40] Coach

Mine went farther than yours.

As a token of our friendship,
I'll show you my special one-liner.
[10:54] Kokuto
Huh? One-liner?
[11:07] Kei
Nipple hair!
[11:17] Taro/I
D-Did he screw up again?
[11:20] Taro/I

Hilarious. Perfect delivery.

Sorry, my bad. I wasn't trying

[11:34] Kokuto
What are you talking about?
[11:38] Kei
Huh?
[11:40] Kokuto
Did you just say "nipple hair"?
[11:43] Kei
Uh, y-yes, I did.
[11:45] Kokuto
By that, do you mean chest hair?
[11:48] Kei
Well, um...
[11:49] Kokuto
Could you answer clearly?
[11:54] Kei
Yes, I meant hair near the nipple region.
[11:57] Kokuto
Do you have any?
[12:00] Kei
I-I do not!
[12:01] Kei
I'm hoping I'll grow some in the future.
[12:05] Kokuto
I see.
[12:07] Kokuto
Even if you do end up with thick hair
on your chest, your one-liner...
[12:14] Kokuto
isn't funny in the slightest.
[12:19] Kei
Nipple hair... isn't funny?
[12:25] Kokuto
Joking around on a sacred battlefield...
[12:29] Kokuto
It's profoundly distasteful.

Outside low...

Another full-strength pitch, huh?

Hmm, I'm not sure why,
but this spot feels kinda...
[15:11] Kei/I
I knew it.
[15:14] Taro/I
It was the longest hit that day,
beyond those of Todo-kun and Kiyomine-kun.
[15:26] Iwasaki
You were lucky you made contact.
[15:29] Iwasaki
What was that swing?
[15:30] Kokuto
Yes, sir! I'm sorry, sir!

Don't try to force it.

For Kei Kaname, the "Commander,"
[16:08] Iwasaki
who has tortured batters with
seasoned tactics that belie his age,
[16:11] Iwasaki
the pitches he's called so far
have been rather humdrum.
[16:15] Iwasaki
He must know that Kokuto
is good at outside pitches.
[16:20] Iwasaki
Is this his strategy?
[16:22] Iwasaki
No, there's no benefit to doing this.
[16:24] Iwasaki
Which indicates some sort of slump?

Fundamentally, the results you get are
a true reflection of your skill at baseball.
[17:09] Kei/I

[17:10] Kei/I
If I'd had my glove in a different spot,
we wouldn't have given up that hit?

See? A true reflection of his current skills.

"Commander," my ass.

I... I-I caught it.

Hey, now. I thought
we were going to beat Teitoku.
[18:03] Chihaya
I'm sure that was a disappointing
outcome, as his partner.

We are gonna beat them.
I mean, we're still ahead.

I did practice catching.

If I can live with Haru-chan's
gorilla pitches, we can win.

As things stand, Kokuto's the only one who
can keep up with Kiyomine's almighty throws.

Are you okay?
[19:22] Kei
Huh? Yes!
[19:24] Umpire
The ball hit your mask?
[19:25] Kei
Yes! I'm fine.
[19:29] Kei/I
The ball hit my mask.
[19:32] Kei/I
It felt like my neck snapped.
[19:34] Kei/I
That scared me.
[19:36] Kei/I
Baseball sure is dangerous.
[19:39] Kei/I
Okay.
[19:40] Kei/I
Bring it!
[19:52] Iwasaki/I
Kaname's in a slump as a catcher, too.
[20:02] Teitoku H
It's bouncing off him a lot.
[20:03] Teitoku I
He can't catch at all.
[20:05] Teitoku J
It must be hard for
Kiyomine to pitch like that.
[20:08] Taro/I
For an amateur, the foul tip that's
a direct hit to the face is terrifying.
[20:10] Umpire
Ball four!
[20:13] Taro/I
Not to mention the speed
of Kiyomine-kun's pitches...
[20:15] Taro/I
Even just catching it is scary.
[20:17] Kei/I
Wh-What's going on?
[20:27] Kei/I
S-So, um, if I can't catch the ball,
the batter gets on base.
[20:33] Kei/I
But we don't want to give up hits.
[20:35] Kei/I
So...
[20:38] Kei/I
I'll catch it with everything I've got!
It's our only option!
[20:44] Kei/I
I didn't have a problem up until now.
I should obviously be able to.
[20:54] Taro/I
Kiyomine-kun pitched at half speed
for the rest of the game.

You have to watch the ball!
[08:30] Todo
That's running away from baseball.
[08:30] Kei
I got called a doodoo-head, damn it!
[08:31] Chihaya
I agree. A first-round win is
probably the most we could manage.
[08:34] Kei
Ah, scary!
[08:35] Taro
Oh, watch out! You have to focus!
[08:35] Chihaya
Even that's doubtful.
[08:38] Chihaya
But if we transfer now...
[08:38] Kei
I got called a doodoo-head, damn it!
[08:41] Taro
I know!
[08:43] Chihaya
we'll be running away from Haruka Kiyomine
and Kei Kaname for a second time.
[08:50] Chihaya
Practicing catching at a place like this?
[08:54] Taro
Todo-kun! Chihaya-kun!
[08:56] Todo
Doing "secret training," huh? Lame.
[08:59] Taro
Are you okay?
[09:00] Todo
Want me to give you some tips
on how to catch the ball?
[09:03] Chihaya
I'm sure Kaname-kun is a lot
for Yamada-kun to handle alone.
[09:07] Kei
Wha—
[09:07] Todo
We'll share the load.
[09:09] Kei
Huh?
[09:10] Taro
U-Uh, what does that mean?
[09:13] Chihaya
I'm not transferring.
[09:15] Todo
I don't like Kokuto anyway.
[09:20] Kei
Huh?!
[09:22] Kei
Why? How come?
[09:24] Chihaya
Just because.
[09:25] Kei
But, but, but you're gonna regret it.
There are stronger schools than ours.
[09:29] Kei
Teitoku is, like, the best!
[09:31] Todo
Pipe down.
[09:32] Kei
But why?
[09:33] Taro/I
I know I shouldn't, but...
[09:33] Todo
There's no reason, all right?
[09:35] Kei
But why? Why?
[09:35] Todo
Shut up! It is what it is!
[09:36] Chihaya
Just because.
[09:36] Taro/I
Right now, I...
[09:38] Kei
But I need to know! Tell me!
[09:39] Todo
Why do I have to tell you?
[09:39] Taro/I
I can't help but feel happy to my core.
[09:41] Kei
Explain in a four-character idiom!
[09:42] Todo
It's what a man's supposed to do—
[09:45] Todo
Huh? Yama, are you crying?
[09:48] Taro
No, I'm sorry. This isn't...
[09:50] Kei
Ah! Aoi-chan made him cry!
[09:53] Todo
Me? I didn't!
[09:54] Taro/I
What a strange fate.
[09:56] Taro/I
We've chosen to have the backs of the ones
whose talents are what led us to quit.

Tokyo Metropolitan Kotesashi High School.
[10:11] Taro/I
It's not known for academic excellence,
nor does it have any strong sports teams.
[10:18] Taro/I
If anything, it's a pretty mediocre school.
[10:23] Taro/I
Still, we're gonna play baseball here.
[10:27] Taro/I
That was what we decided, but...
[10:30] Taro/I
The essential battery...
[10:33] Taro/I
is fighting.
[10:36] Kei
We're not fighting!
[10:39] Taro
But he's in a bad mood, right?
[10:41] Kei
Kiyomine-san, don't you want
to apologize to me about anything?
[10:45] Haruka
Hmm?
[10:46] Haruka
No.
[10:47] Kei
There he goes!
[10:49] Haruka
It's all Kei's fault.
[10:50] Taro/I
Harsh.
[10:51] Haruka
A catcher who can't catch
is just a doodoo-head.
[11:00] Kei
Am I a doodoo-head?
[11:02] Chihaya
Yes, you are.
[11:03] Todo
Go away, doodoo-head.
[11:05] Kei
He karate-chopped me on the head.
He's gonna pay for that!
[11:08] Kei
I'm super frustrated.
[11:10] Taro/I
Kaname-kun.
[11:11] Kei
I will now declare...
[11:13] Kei
that I'll hold a baseball study group!
[11:15] Taro/I
Stop crying.
[11:17] Chihaya
I'd prefer not to get roped into that.
[11:19] Todo
Are you still hung up on
what happened yesterday?
[11:22] Todo
What a drag.
[11:23] Chihaya
It's like a quarrel between kids.
[11:25] Kei
Haru-chan's not letting it go.
He's holding a grudge.
[11:29] Chihaya
Okay, okay.
[11:31] Kei
I will master the rules of baseball,

Asleep in seconds.
[11:42] Todo
Go home.
[11:44] Kei
I've noticed something.
[11:49] Kei
Don't you think Haru-chan's pretty selfish?

[12:11] Chihaya
I cannot let that slide.
[12:12] Todo
Anyway, what position
were you thinking of?
[12:15] Kei
Huh? Somewhere easy where I'll look cool.
[12:18] Taro/I
A terrible answer.
[12:20] Chihaya
There's no position like that.
[12:22] Kei
Bet there is. There's nine of 'em.
[12:25] Kei
How about third base?
[12:27] Kei
The ball barely went there yesterday.
[12:30] Chihaya
That's extremely foolish,
stupid, idiotic thinking.
[12:33] Todo
It was pure coincidence
the ball didn't go there.
[12:36] Todo
It's called the hot corner,
and hard-hit balls fly there all the time.

"Will do"?!
[13:25] Kei
It'll be easier than defending the infield.
[13:27] Chihaya
As the last line of defense,
everything rides on you!
[13:30] Chihaya
Plus, the range to cover is huge!
[13:33] Todo
Though the biggest range to cover
in the infield is the shortstop's.
[13:37] Kei
Um, where's the shortstop?
[13:39] Taro/I
Have you got a death wish?!

[14:01] Kei
Sounds like a lot of work.
[14:03] Kei
I think being the catcher will do.
[14:05] Taro/Todo/Chihaya
"Will do"?!
[14:09] Taro
Seems everyone brought their uniforms.
[14:12] Todo
I guess.
[14:13] Chihaya
I have nothing better to do.
[14:15] Todo
All right. Let's continue
with your catching practice.
[14:18] Kei
Thank you! My chin's itchy!
[14:20] Todo
Don't care.
[14:23] Kei
Okay, bring it!
[14:27] Todo
Well, uh, the ball ain't
ever gonna come like this.
[14:30] Chihaya
We can't start anything without a pitcher.
[14:32] Todo
Let's go get Kiyomine.
[14:33] Kei
No.
[14:41] Kei
This is secret training.
[14:44] Kei
I only want Haru-chan to pitch
when I can catch the ball properly.
[14:57] Chihaya
All right. I'll pitch.
[15:00] Kei
Thanks!
[15:07] Kei
Shun-chan, your pitch is pretty fast.
[15:09] Chihaya
That's just how a fielder throws.
[15:11] Taro/I
That's Chihaya-kun for you. An all-rounder
with extraordinary baseball sense.
[15:22] Chihaya
Very good.
[15:24] Chihaya
You're able to handle
fastballs in this setup.
[15:29] Kei
It's all thanks to everyone helping.
[15:32] Taro
Then, let's try catching the ball
with a batter in the box.
[15:36] Todo
Sounds good.
[15:37] Taro
Right.
[15:38] Kei
Hmm? Why? What difference does that make?
[15:41] Todo
You'll see when you try it.
[15:43] Kei
Huh?
[15:46] Kei/I
Oh, I see.
[15:48] Kei/I
I wasn't aware of it
until the foul tip incident,
[15:53] Kei/I
but simply having a batter there
[15:55] Kei/I
makes your field of vision
extremely narrow.
[16:00] Kei/I
I caught it.
[16:02] Chihaya
Very good.
[16:06] Todo
All right. Next up...
[16:09] Todo
I'll do a full-power swing.
[16:26] Kei
That's...
[16:28] Kei
That's too scary!
[16:30] Kei
Did you try to hit me with
the bat?! I know you did!
[16:34] Kei
Don't just laugh!
[16:36] Kei
I'm going home! I'm done!
[16:39] Todo
Are you sure?
[16:40] Todo
You'll stay a doodoo-head.
[16:44] Kei
D-Doodoo-head?
[16:50] Todo
You'll be fine.
[16:51] Todo
I'm standing at the front of the box.
[16:54] Todo
The bat will never hit you.
[16:57] Kei
Okay.
[16:59] Todo
It's all in your head.
[17:02] Todo
Stuff like that happens in baseball.
[17:05] Kei
In my head?
[17:07] Kei/I
What's in my head can
easily affect what I can...
[17:11] Chihaya
Are you ready?
[17:14] Kei/I
...and can't do.
[17:24] Taro
You're closing your eyes again.
[17:33] Taro
It's okay! You can catch it!
[17:36] Kei/I
Just...
[17:38] Kei/I
A little more...
[17:41] Kei/I
To catch—
[17:55] Todo
Hey!
[17:55] Taro
Kaname-kun?!
[17:56] Chihaya
Are you okay?
[18:02] Kei
I'm, like, so lame.
[18:09] Kei
I fail at stuff even though I'm trying hard.
[18:13] Kei
Seriously, I'm worthless.
[18:16] Kei
I'll only hold Haru-chan back
with how terrible I am at this.
[18:21] Kei
He'd be better off at Teitoku, right?
[18:24] Kei
There'll be better catchers there.
[18:28] Kei
Yeah, that's what he should do.
[18:35] Kei
Huh?
[18:37] Todo
I-Is that a joke?
[18:40] Chihaya
Y-You're killing me!
[18:42] Kei
H-Hey!

I'm being serious here.
[18:46] Kei
Like, real serious!

My bad. I know that. But...
[18:52] Chihaya
That's 100% not happening.

What?
[18:55] Chihaya
On the way back from Teitoku...

Are you going to transfer?
[19:02] (Flashback) Haruka

[19:28] Todo
You are embarrassed.

[19:30] Todo
I've never seen you embarrassed before.
[19:31] Kei
The one talking about embarrass—
[19:34] Kei
Wh-Wh-Why are you here?!
[19:36] Haruka
There was no practice today,
so I thought I'd practice.
[19:39] Kei
Y-You're making no sense!
[19:42] Kei
Talk about being obsessed with baseball.
[19:44] Kei
Get some rest!
[19:48] Kei
Give your arm a break.
You're a pitcher, after all.
[19:51] Haruka
Because of you, I haven't been
using my arm at all, so I'm fine.
[19:55] Taro/I
Why do they sound like a comedy duo
that's about to break up?
[19:59] Kei
I was doing special training.
[20:02] Kei
You totally ruined the surprise.
[20:04] Haruka
Then show me.
[20:06] Haruka
Show me.
[20:08] Kei
S-Sure.
[20:10] Taro/I
He can't exactly catch the pitch yet.
[20:22] Kei/I
Damn. I gotta do this.
[20:30] Taro
It's a short hop!
[20:32] Chihaya
He's way off-target!
[20:34] Todo/I
That's too hard for him to catch!
[20:37] Kei/I
It's... It's all in my head.
[20:42] Kei/I
That's right. I was this close
to catching it before.
[20:46] Kei/I
Don't...
[20:48] Kei/I
close my eyes!
[21:04] Kei
Caught it.
[21:09] Kei
Yes!
[21:11] Todo
Catching an even harder
short hop? Unbelievable!
[21:14] Taro
Kaname-kun, that was amazing!
[21:14] Kei
I caught a short hop! A short hop! A short hop!
[21:16] Chihaya
This was a huge step—no, a huge catch!
[21:17] Kei
So what's a short hop?
[21:20] Todo
You can do it if you try.
[21:20] Taro/I
We can't live without baseball.
[21:22] Kei
You listening?
[21:25] Haruka
Kei. You caught it.
[21:28] Kei
Yeah.
[21:30] Taro/I
In baseball, wounds caused by failure
can only be healed by successful plays.
[21:37] Todo
I'm glad you healed so quickly.
[21:40] Kei
Huh? Yeah.
[21:42] Todo
Once you get stuck in the pits,
it can take a long time to get over it.
[21:46] Kei
Oh, man. Really?
[21:49] Kei
It's all thanks to you and the guys,
Aoi-chan. Seriously, thank you!
[21:54] Taro
Let's try catching a fastball now.
[21:57] Kei
Okay!
[22:00] Taro/I
No matter what we face in the future,
[22:03] Taro/I
I hope we can overcome it
together like this.
[23:40] Kei
Progress! Absolute progress!
[23:43] Kei
This calls for a celebration in
the land of celebration: Kichijoji.
[23:46] Taro
Yeah, it might be fun to—
[23:47] Chihaya

I'm asking you a question.
What is baseball?
[00:08] Taro/I
Kaname-kun's started
to think deeply about it.
[00:12] Todo
Well, don't ask me.
You're such a nuisance.

What is baseball?

Are you telling me cute sisters
aren't only found in fiction?
[02:24] Taro/I
Ah, right. Yeah, he's totally
comparing 'em to his mom.

Tea please, "Big Bro."

I-Is genmaicha okay?
[04:06] Kei
After a harem, my next biggest dream is having
a hot big sister and an adorable little sister.
[04:12] Todo
Well, my little sister's cute,
sure, but my big sister...
[04:16] Todo
Without makeup, her face looks like mine.
[04:18] Todo
She's aggressive, too.
[04:20] Todo
She's totally an old hag.
[04:21] Kei
You don't know what a real old hag is!
[04:24] Kei
Every day, a happening!
Every day, a surprise!
[04:27] Kei
Every day, an emergency!
That's why I rebel, damn it!
[04:30] Todo
M-My bad.
[04:32] Kei
I'm done. I don't feel like studying.
[04:35] Chihaya
I brought some snacks. Want some?
[04:38] Kei
Wow, it tastes fancy.
[04:40] Kei
What is this?
[04:41] Chihaya
It's called a madeleine.
[04:43] Kei
Oh, yeah? Nice one, Shun-chan.
[04:45] Kei
I'll study hard.
[04:46] Taro/I
He's one happy guy.
[04:48] Todo
If you have any questions, ask away.
[04:51] Kei
Oh, yeah. I've been meaning to ask.
[04:53] Kei
What's a lefty?
[04:57] Todo
You're asking that now?
[04:59] Chihaya
Sounds like you've got memory
degeneration, not memory loss.
[05:02] Chihaya
Are you okay?
[05:03] Kei
Hmm? Are you okay, Aoi-chan?
You look like you're aging.
[05:07] Chihaya
His eyes look so innocent.
[05:09] Todo
He means it. He really doesn't know.
[05:09] Kei
Aoi-chan. Hm?
[05:12] Chihaya
It's the batter's position,
as seen by the pitcher.
[05:14] Chihaya
Like you see here.
[05:16] Chihaya
Looking from the mound, the batter
can stand to the right or left of the plate.
[05:20] Kei
What? So it's not about being
right-handed or left-handed? Very deep.
[05:25] Todo
I-I feel weak.
[05:27] Chihaya
This is soul-crushing, but I'll do my best.
[05:30] Chihaya
Well, generally, a right-handed person is
a righty, and a left-handed person's a lefty.
[05:36] Kei
Hold on. I'm right-handed,
but play as a lefty.
[05:40] Kei
What does that mean?
[05:41] Chihaya
That's a good question.
[05:44] Chihaya
Why doesn't your dominant hand
match your batting form?
[05:47] Chihaya
It's because a right-handed
lefty can be created.
[05:50] Kei
Oh, is that so?
[05:51] Taro/I
Chihaya-kun's really good
at explaining things.
[05:54] Chihaya
It's difficult to change your dominant hand,
but you can change your batting form.
[05:59] Kei
Why bother, though?
[06:01] Chihaya
That's a very good question.
[06:03] Taro/I
Chihaya-kun's toying with him now.
[06:06] Chihaya
In baseball, being a lefty is
considered an advantage.
[06:10] Chihaya
In simple terms, it's closer to first base.
[06:13] Chihaya
A righty needs to redirect
their body to run to first base.
[06:18] Chihaya
But a lefty can use the momentum
of their swing to turn that way.
[06:24] Chihaya
Due to their physical location, the lefty's
a couple of steps closer to first base, too.
[06:28] Kei
Wow, so cool!
[06:30] Chihaya
I'm actually a switch hitter.
[06:36] Kei
I see.
[06:38] Taro/I
Of course Kaname-kun
has no idea what that is.
[06:41] Taro/I
It's embarrassing when you don't
get the right reaction.
[06:44] Chihaya
Anyway, it proves you were
ambitious and driven as a player,
[06:47] Chihaya
even changing your batting form just to
get two steps closer to first base to win.
[06:54] Kei
I was?
[06:55] Haruka
Yes.
[06:58] Kei
Do you want me to be that person again?
[07:04] Haruka
I don't care. You are you.
[07:08] Kei
I see.
[07:09] Todo
Most people wouldn't want their partner
to turn out like that, right?
[07:12] Chihaya
Kiyomine-kun's a weirdo, too, so...
[07:16] Chihaya
Maybe he doesn't care
so long as it has Kei Kaname's face.
[07:18] Taro/I
That's our keystone combo, throwing a wet
towel over a moving moment for our battery.
[07:23] Kei
Then I'll just be myself and
learn baseball at my own pace.
[07:27] Kei
And get better at my own pace.
[07:29] Kei
Defeat Teitoku!
[07:31] Kei
We've got to get revenge, right?
[07:33] Haruka
Naturally.
[07:34] Chihaya
I never thought I'd hear the word "revenge"
come out of Kaname-kun's mouth.
[07:38] Taro
I'm so excited!
[07:41] Kei
Revenge, revenge!
[07:44] Todo
Hey, Kaname.
[07:45] Todo
Do you really mean that?
[07:47] Kei
Huh? Y-Yeah, I guess.
[07:49] Todo
I see.
[07:51] Todo
Let's get another shortstop, then.
[07:54] Todo
I can help with my slugging,
but my defense is no good.
[07:58] Todo
Sorry I didn't mention it.
[08:00] Taro
What are you saying?
There's no better shortstop than you—
[08:03] Todo
I can't make the play at first.
[08:06] Todo
I have the yips.
[08:08] Todo
If you really intend to defeat Teitoku,
then find someone else.

a typical error at Koshien,
[08:36] Todo/I
I used to imagine how they'd never really
taste anything for the rest of their lives,
[08:44] Todo/I

'cause they couldn't enjoy anything.

Nice batting!
[09:11] Todo/I
It was two years ago,
at the Little Senior summer championships.
[09:15] Todo/I
With the scouts watching keenly,
[09:16] Todo/I
it was a crucial time that
determined the fate of whole teams.
[09:20] Todo/I
For my seniors, it was their last summer.
[09:23] (Flashback) Takasu
Teitoku's scout is here!
[09:26] (Flashback) Todo

[09:31] (Flashback) Buzz Cut
So did mine.
[09:32] (Flashback) Todo
What? Mine didn't!
[09:35] (Flashback) Buzz Cut
They're definitely watching you.
Your talent's on a whole other level, Todo.
[09:39] (Flashback) Todo
You think so?
[09:40] (Flashback) Takasu
Hey now. Don't make him too cocky.
[09:43] (Flashback) Todo

will lead Oizumi to victory!

Here we go again.

But he really can slug it.
[09:53] (Flashback) Todo
And I will!
[09:54] (Flashback) Manager
Hey, cut it out.
[09:56] (Flashback) Oizumi Players
Sorry, sir!
[09:59] Todo/I

I, Mr. Aoi Todo, will crush them!
[10:29] (Flashback) Todo
Let's all go to Teitoku!
[10:31] (Flashback) Takasu
We're your seniors, remember?
[10:41] Todo/I
It only took one pitch.
[10:46] Todo/I
It sailed to the outside corner.
[10:48] (Flashback) Umpire
Ball!
[10:51] Todo/I
For the first time in my life,
I thought, "I can't hit this."
[11:04] (Flashback) Umpire
Strike!
[11:09] (Flashback) Umpire
Strike two!
[11:31] (Flashback) Umpire
Strike! You're out!
[11:34] Todo/I
My first turn at bat ended in a strikeout.
[11:39] Todo/I
The first feeling that hit me
after wasn't frustration,
[11:43] Todo/I
but something approaching a sense
of awe, knowing they'd go pro.
[11:48] Todo/I
After that, the despair of learning
I wasn't number one slowly ate away at me.

Eighth graders like me
made up that battery.

Lead our team, party boy!
[12:47] Todo/I
Despite the skill gap,
Hoya was struggling to score runs,
[12:50] Todo/I
and we had the momentum.
[12:52] Todo/I
If we could just hold strong,
we had a chance of winning.
[12:58] Todo/I
Everything before the catch was perfect.
[13:01] Todo/I
My mind went totally blank,
and my heartbeat was deafening in my ears.
[13:06] Todo/I
Then, the sensation of
my blood running cold...
[13:10] (Flashback) Spectator
A wild throw!
[13:11] (Flashback) Hoya Player

I'm so sorry! We lost because of me!

We did everything we could.
The last three years have been fun!
[14:04] Todo/I
I regretted apologizing.
[14:07] Todo/I
I made them say that.
[14:12] Todo/I
They were all so kind. Of course
they'd forgive me if I apologized.
[14:18] Todo/I
To run from the burden of causing our loss,
[14:20] Todo/I
and to avoid being
resented by those I loved...
[14:24] Todo/I
I had apologized for my own sake.

Oh. It was the same as that time.
[15:08] (Flashback) Oizumi Coach
What are you doing, Todo?
[15:10] (Flashback) Todo
I'm sorry!
[15:12] Todo/I
It started around that time.
[15:14] Todo/I
When I tried to throw to first,
for some reason...
[15:18] Todo/I
For some reason,
my control went out the window.
[15:23] (Flashback) Takasu
What's this?
[15:24] (Flashback) Takasu
You can throw just fine.

I'm sorry, sir! Next time, I'll—
[15:35] (Flashback) Oizumi Manager
No! Change now!
[15:40] Todo/I
My body was in good shape,
but because I couldn't control one finger,
[15:45] Todo/I
my value dropped to zero.
[15:53] (Flashback) Brown Hair
Don't worry too much about it.
[15:57] Todo/I

Big Sis, I found Big Bro's glove in the trash.
[16:09] (Flashback) Big Sister
What an idiot. Might as well have
written a note saying, "Please find it."
[16:14] (Flashback) Little Sister
Big Bro said "No, thanks"
to all those scouts, right?
[16:20] (Flashback) Big Sister
He turned down all the big names.
[16:23] (Flashback) Little Sister
Is he going to quit baseball?
[16:27] (Flashback) Big Sister
Who knows?

[16:36] (Flashback) Big Sister
I know. But...
[16:39] (Flashback) Big Sister
If your big brother makes a decision,
all we can do is have faith and watch over him.

I woke up in a cold sweat.

Yo.

Huh?
[17:40] (Flashback) Hair Band
Get lost.

If it could help me forget about baseball
even for a second, I didn't care what it was.

Don't just sprawl out in the doorway!
[18:01] (Flashback) Big Sister
You're filthy. Take a bath!
[18:03] Todo/I
Did I fall asleep? Shit.
[18:09] Todo/I
I ran.
[18:11] Todo/I
I ran until I passed out.
[18:21] Todo/I
For some reason,
I never took up smoking.

[18:50] (Flashback) Hair Band
Just for a little while. Please?

You're so pushy.

Okay, okay. I'll buy you roast pork, too.

Today, why don't we play
with a lot of friends for a change?

To start with, I'll beat up the one that
looks like the boss and take out five others.

Don't be scared, guys. Let's get him!
[19:43] (Flashback) Todo
Not what it's for.
[19:46] (Flashback) Boss Type
Just shut up and go down!
[19:52] (Flashback) Boss Type
That should do it.

That one seriously hurt.
[20:01] (Flashback) Boss Type
Stop whining. Gonna grovel now?
[20:04] (Flashback) Todo
It was a limited-time deal.
[20:07] (Flashback) Todo
I only get the chance to eat ramen out
once a month, maybe even less.
[20:14] (Flashback) Todo
I really wanted to eat it.
[20:16] (Flashback) Delinquent D
Huh? Ramen?
[20:17] (Flashback) Delinquent E
What's he talking about?
[20:20] (Flashback) Todo
Damn, it really hurts.

But it still doesn't even compare.
[20:27] (Flashback) Todo
Come at me. This isn't nearly enough.
[20:31] (Flashback) Boss Type
This guy's crazy.
[20:33] (Flashback) Todo
If you're gonna do it,
then make me forget all of it.
[20:54] (Flashback) Delinquents
We told you, didn't we?
[20:55] (Flashback) Delinquents
You're nothing.
[20:59] Todo/I
No regret, no fear, no pain...
[21:06] Todo/I
can overwrite the error I made that day.
[21:12] (Flashback) Staff
That customer hasn't come back yet.
[21:15] (Flashback) Store Owner
Yeah, what a waste.
[21:17] (Flashback) Store Owner
It's all right. You can clean it up.
[21:19] (Flashback) Staff
The noodles are all soggy now, anyway.
[21:22] Todo/I
It'd be fine.
[21:23] Todo/I
If I went to a public school,
[21:25] Todo/I
I'd forget the faces and voices
of my seniors congratulating me,
[21:29] Todo/I
and about all things baseball.
I'd have a totally clean slate.
[21:34] Todo/I
Or so I thought.
[21:44] (Flashback) Kei
You wanna play together?
[21:46] Todo/I
When he asked me, it was just reflex.
[21:50] Todo/I
Like hitting a ball coming toward me,
[21:53] Todo/I
I responded so naturally
and immediately in my head...
[21:56] Todo/I
"I do!"
[21:59] Todo/I
I'm sorry, seniors.
[22:01] Todo/I
I wasn't going to play baseball
ever again with anyone but you.
[23:40] Todo
I quit baseball.
I was too ashamed to face my seniors.
[23:44] Todo
I shouldn't be allowed to
play baseball with the yips.
[23:48] Todo
If I continue, all I'll do is
cause more problems for others.

but if things had gone wrong,
[03:14] Taro/I
Kaname-kun might never
have caught a ball again.
[03:18] Taro/I
Like a disaster,
the yips hit you out of nowhere.
[03:23] Big Sister
Will those boys want sweets?
[03:26] Big Sister
They might prefer salami
and dried stingray fins.
[03:33] Big Sister
What are you up to?
[03:35] Little Sister
Big Sis, shhh!
[03:37] Little Sister
They're talking about the yips.
[03:40] Kei
Oh, that!
[03:42] Kei
Yeah, that really came out of nowhere.
It took me by surprise.
[03:48] Kei
Okay, let's all practice together again.
[03:50] Kei
That'll make Aoi-chan better, too.
[03:52] Kei
It'll be all right.
[03:54] Todo
Mine can't be healed so easily.
[03:58] Todo
Can we call it a day?
[04:09] Kei
You trying to one-up my yips?
[04:12] Todo
Huh?
[04:13] Kei
Since mine went away in a few days,
I'm a yips amateur? Is that it?
[04:18] Kei
Is this yips discrimination,
where amateurs are silenced?
[04:22] Kei
Are these really the words of our
leadoff and shortstop, Mr. Aoi Todo?
[04:23] Big Sister
H-He brought his pals,
and he... What the heck?
[04:26] Todo
Th-That's not what I mean!
[04:28] Todo
I just—
[04:29] Kei
You mean your yips level's
higher than mine.
[04:32] Kei
You're playing the yips card.
[04:34] Todo
Don't treat it like a seniority card!
[04:36] Kei
Ah, this is just appalling!
[04:38] Kei
Aoi-chan, "It's all in your head,"
is what you said to me,
[04:42] Kei
but when it comes to you,
you just run away!
[04:45] Todo
Say that again!
[04:46] Chihaya
An amateur knows no fear
in a situation like this.
[04:49] Taro
Yeah. That sums up Kaname-kun.
[04:52] Kie
I, too, am experienced
in the way of the yips.
[04:54] Kie
I'm a "yipster"!
[04:57] Todo
Don't just make up a word!
[05:02] Todo
Sis?
[05:03] Todo
Why the hell are you eavesdropping?!
[05:05] Big Sister
S-Sorry. That was just too funny.
[05:08] Kei
Funny?!
[05:09] Kei
Am I funny?
[05:11] Haruka
You're funny.
[05:12] Kei
I knew it!
[05:13] Todo
Bah! Okay, fine! I'll do it!
[05:16] Todo
So, for now, just go home!
[05:19] Kei
Let's get you fixed up tomorrow,
then all go to Kichijoji!
[05:23] Todo
Buzz off!
[05:25] Kei
I'll come visit again!
[05:26] Todo
Don't ever come back!
[05:29] Little Sister
Big Bro's friends were funny.
[05:32] Big Sister
Yeah, they were.
[05:33] Kei
Hey, by the way, Yama-chan...
[05:35] Kei
Do you know what a "yipster" is?
[05:35] Big Sister
He's got some nice friends.
[05:37] Taro
Huh? But you came up with it...
[05:42] Kei
Let's fix it right up and
go to Kichijoji to get ramen.
[05:46] Todo
Now listen here, ex-Commander.
[05:48] Todo
I told you it's not something
you can fix in a day.
[05:51] Kei
What? Really?
[05:53] Haruka
Kei.
[05:53] Kei
When do you think we can go to Kichijoji?
[05:56] Todo
That's what I'd like to know.
[05:58] Haruka
Kei.
[05:58] Kei
Maybe you're just being too sensitive?
[06:00] Haruka
Kei.
[06:01] Kei
It'll be fine. Just fine.
[06:03] Haruka
Kei, catch the ball.
[06:04] Kei
Ah, shut up, man! I'll catch it! Jeez!
[06:09] Chihaya
Want to try throwing from your position?
[06:12] Todo
'Kay.
[06:29] Chihaya
Well, it's not impossible to catch.
[06:33] Todo
Hah, sorry.
[06:35] Todo
I don't think it's possible.
Talk about lame.
[06:38] Todo
Even at practice, I'm like this.
[06:40] Chihaya
You were able to play catch, though.
[06:43] Todo
Yeah, and I can throw from the outfield.
[06:46] Todo
But from the shortstop
position, it veers off.
[06:50] Todo
I did practice a whole lot.
[06:52] (Flashback) Oizumi Player
Todo, that's enough!
[06:53] (Flashback) Oizumi Player
You'll hurt your shoulder!
[06:55] (Flashback) Oizumi Player
You can't get over the yips
just by practicing lots!
[06:58] (Flashback) Todo
Please, just one more hour.
[07:01] (Flashback) Todo
Or else, I'll...
[07:04] (Flashback) Coach A
This will drag on.
[07:06] (Flashback) Coach B
I've never seen it so severe.
[07:08] (Flashback) Oizumi Manager
Our connection with Teitoku...
[07:09] (Flashback) Oizumi Coach
Let's move him into the outfield.
[07:11] (Flashback) Oizumi Manager
He's useless.
[07:18] Todo
But I never got better.
[07:21] Todo
No matter how hard I tried, it didn't work.
[07:23] Todo
So let's just find another shortstop—
[07:25] Haruka
Why can't you do it?
[07:27] Todo
Huh?
[07:28] Harauka
Maybe you're not
making enough of an effort.
[07:34] Taro/I
Kiyomine-kun is stoic and hardworking.
[07:37] Taro/I
He practices more than anyone,
works harder than anyone.
[07:42] Taro/I
And his efforts are repaid 120%.
[07:47] Taro/I
So he can't even imagine that there are some
in this world whose efforts don't pay off.
[07:58] Todo
You're right. Making an effort
means doing it until you can do it.
[08:02] Todo
I gave up halfway. Kiyomine's right.
[08:07] Taro/I
Todo-kun's incredible.
He's not even gonna make an excuse.
[08:12] Taro/I
To him, results are everything,
and that's the type of world he lives in.
[08:18] Kei
Hey, now.
[08:20] Kei
Don't you go denying
other people's efforts.
[08:24] Haruka
Why not?
[08:25] Kei
Because!
[08:27] Haruka
Okay. I won't.
[08:29] Chihaya
But in reality, it's not that easy.
[08:33] Chihaya
The distance between shortstop
and first base is farther than you think.
[08:38] Kei
Oh, yeah?
[08:39] Chihaya
If it's a crunch moment when you're
throwing hard, you'll miss your target.
[08:44] Chihaya
Though your arm is strong to begin with,
[08:46] Chihaya
so you probably don't have to throw
so hard to reach first.
[08:51] Kei
"Distance"?
[08:56] (Flashback) Chihaya
My arm's not strong, so it's a one hop.
[08:58] Kei
Why not try a one hop?
[09:00] Kei
It might change things up a bit!
[09:02] Todo
A one hop? You can't be serious.
[09:05] Todo
I'm not an old man
playing sandlot baseball.
[09:07] Kei
Why not? Let's give it a try!
[09:09] Taro/I
Still, it's a novel idea that only Kaname-kun
could come up with because he's an amateur.
[09:11] Todo
Seriously?
[09:11] Kei
You won't know until you try!
[09:13] Todo
Oh, c'mon. One hop is super lame.
[09:13] Taro/I
I wouldn't do it, though.
Or rather, I couldn't.
[09:15] Kei
Let's try it!
[09:17] Taro/I
You try it over and over and over,
[09:21] Taro/I
but in the end, you realize
you're still no good at it. That's the yips.
[09:25] Taro/I
You even fear the possibility
of getting better.
[09:29] Taro/I
Because if it doesn't work,
your heart will truly be broken.
[09:34] Todo
Actually...
[09:36] Todo
I'll try it.
[09:37] Todo
If there's even a 1% chance,
I want to stop running away.
[09:43] Taro/I
Shortstop is considered
an important, highly skilled position.
[09:48] Taro/I
Shortstops would do well
in any other fielding position.
[09:52] Taro/I
Being a shortstop, trying to one hop
a throw must be humiliating for Todo-kun.
[09:56] Taro/I
I can't imagine the despair he might end up
feeling if he tries it and it doesn't work.
[10:01] Taro/I
Still...
[10:02] Kei
Great!
[10:04] Kei
I'm sure it'll work out.
[10:06] Todo
How do you know?
[10:08] Todo
You're an amateur.
[10:10] Kei
I've got a feeling.
[10:13] Todo
Hah, you're crazy.
[10:16] Taro/I
If we support each other,
maybe we can overcome it together.

[10:26] Todo
Here goes!
[10:36] Todo
I'm sorry, Suzuki-senpai.
[10:39] Todo
My control's still not all that good.
[10:41] Suzuki
Oh, no. I just suck at this, that's all.
[10:44] Sato
There's no way Todo-kun
would make an error like that.
[10:47] Sign

Teitoku
[10:50] Taro/I
They're stepping on land mines
left and right!
[10:54] Kei
The jerkwad seniors were out of the question,
so I asked the nice seniors for help.
[10:59] Kei
But maybe they can't catch it
like Shun-chan did.
[11:06] Kei
He's turning paler and paler.
[11:08] Kei
I think I'll go and explain
the situation to the seniors.
[11:11] Kei
If they can't catch the ball—
[11:14] Chihaya
You can't.
[11:15] Chihaya
That creates responsibility.
[11:17] Kei
Huh?
[11:18] Chihaya
If they learn that Todo-kun is
hurting every time he throws,
[11:21] Suzuki
I gotta just go for it, don't I?
[11:22] Chihaya
it puts pressure on
whoever's catching it.
[11:25] Chihaya
Do you really think that
would lead to a positive result?
[11:28] Kei
Oh, I see.
[11:30] Kei
Then, maybe you can go catch it, Shun-chan?
[11:32] Chihaya
It's fine to do that in practice, but I can't
leave second base open for a game.
[11:38] Chihaya
Our seniors will just
have to get used to it.
[11:44] Taro
Todo-kun.
[11:45] Todo
Yeah?
[11:46] Taro
Can I do the catching?
[11:49] Todo
S-Sure.
[11:53] Kei
Yama-chan?
[11:56] Taro
Let's do it.
[11:57] Todo
Yeah, thanks.
[11:59] Taro/I
It'll be fine. I'll catch it at all costs.
[12:08] Todo
My bad. It's still off!
[12:09] Taro
No worries. One more!
[12:12] Sato
That was tough.
[12:13] Suzuki
Not so easy, huh?
[12:20] Kei
Whatcha doing?
[12:21] Chihaya
Oh, don't mind me.
[12:29] Kei
Don't you think it's starting to look better?
[12:33] Chihaya
Seems so.
[12:34] Chihaya
His aim's improving.
[12:36] Chihaya
Yamada-kun's good. He can predict
the trajectory of those one hops very well.
[12:42] Chihaya
I can tell he's practiced
diligently for a long time.
[12:42] Taro
Really good! Let's keep going!
[12:45] Chihaya
He's got solid skills.
[12:47] Kei
Oh, yeah?
[12:49] Chihaya
That's having a positive effect on Todo-kun,
and his form is more relaxed now.
[12:54] Chihaya
But I think Yamada-kun's personality
is playing the biggest role.
[12:58] Taro
That was really good, Todo-kun!
[13:00] Chihaya
You get a sense of security with him,
without feeling pressured.
[13:04] Chihaya
I'd say he's our best infield catcher.
[13:06] Chihaya
He might be the perfect
choice for first base.
[13:12] Haruka
Yama, I wanna give it a go, too.
[13:14] Kei
Why should you?
[13:15] Chihaya
Kiyomine-kun,
you're the epitome of pressure.
[13:19] Chihaya
I'd been thinking about other options,
but I didn't consider the one hop.
[13:24] Chihaya
The chances of getting a bad bounce
are high, and it takes longer.
[13:28] Chihaya
Since there are no benefits to it,
the idea didn't even occur to me.
[13:32] Chihaya
But for Todo-kun,
it was apparently beneficial.
[13:35] Chihaya
This may provide him with
a good base to shift to a regular throw.
[13:40] Chihaya
Even if it doesn't, Todo-kun may be able to
reduce the extra time it takes to one hop it.
[13:46] Chihaya
It's thanks to you, Kaname-kun.
[13:48] Kei
Huh? Uh...
[13:51] Kei
What's a "bad bounce"?
[13:53] Chihaya
It means the ball might bounce in an
unexpected way off the grass or the ground.
[13:57] Kei
Ah, makes sense.
[13:59] Chihaya/I
I'm impressed, but that flexible thinking
is only possible because he's an amateur.
[14:06] Chihaya/I
Maybe he'll end up being
even more formidable
[14:09] Chihaya/I
than he was as "Commander" Kei Kaname,
before the memory loss.
[14:14] Chihaya/I
No, that's a bit too far-fetched.
[14:18] Taro
If you can send the ball into this area,
that'll totally work in an actual game!
[14:23] Taro
I'll catch it if it kills me!
[14:25] Taro
Your throw's 40% on the right line!
[14:28] Todo
So, 40%?
[14:30] Todo
Only 40%, huh?
[14:32] Todo
So low.
[14:34] Todo
But it used to be zero.
[14:38] Todo
If I try harder, maybe it'll work out.
[14:41] Taro
I know it will!
[14:42] Chihaya
"Working hard" won't be enough.
[14:45] Todo
And here comes the party pooper.
[14:48] Todo
Hmm?
[14:49] Chihaya
I recorded your form on all your throws.
[14:52] Todo
What are you doing?
[14:53] Chihaya
Aw, man! This one here is pathetic.
[14:58] Todo
Stop that, you jerk!
[15:00] Chihaya
Simply put, your form is off.
[15:03] Chihaya
Get your brain to understand it, see it
in the mirror, then adjust physically.
[15:07] Chihaya
That's faster and more reliable.
[15:10] Chihaya
Let's do this with theory, not emotion.
[15:13] Todo
Why?
[15:15] Todo
Why would you all go this far?
[15:17] (Flashback) Young Todo
I'll fix it!
[15:18] (Flashback) Young Todo
So please just give me a little more time!
[15:21] (Flashback) Manager
No.
[15:22] (Flashback) Manager
Stop trying now.
[15:24] (Flashback) Manager
It wouldn't be fair to let you do
a special training regimen.
[15:27] (Flashback) Manager
How long are you going
to dwell on that error?
[15:29] (Flashback) Todo
But...
[15:30] (Flashback) Manager
Forget about shortstop.
[15:32] (Flashback) Manager
Be an outfielder and focus on your batting.
[15:34] (Flashback) Manager
Or you'll lose your ticket to Teitoku.
[15:38] Sign
He's useless as a shortstop
[15:42] Haruka
Todo is our shortstop.
[15:49] Haruka
I have no plans to change that.
[15:51] Haruka
So make it work.
[15:56] Todo
Bring it on, you jerk.
[15:59] Todo
Making an effort means
doing it until you can do it.
[16:02] Todo
Yama, let's go!
[16:04] Taro
Of course!
[16:05] Chihaya
Want to try fungoes next?
[16:08] Todo
S-Sure.
[16:16] Taro/I
Spraying fungoes around and having him
throw to first from various places.
[16:21] Todo/I
Maybe make the ball hop there?
[16:24] Todo/I
I think I'm getting the hang of this.
[16:28] Chihaya
This one hop plan is going really well.
[16:31] Chihaya
When throwing it long
or in a pressure situation,
[16:35] Chihaya
it may be a safer bet to use
the one hop even if it's not to first.
[16:39] Todo
You might be right.
[16:42] Kei
Next: with a baserunner!
[16:51] Todo
Bah, I didn't make it!
[16:53] Todo
If I don't make it, this is pointless!
[16:55] Taro
No worries! It's all right!
[16:57] Taro
Let's try that again!
[16:58] Kei
Don't worry, Aoi-chan!

[17:33] Chihaya
Oh, not a bad idea.
[17:36] Taro/I
Sato-san is so fast,
[17:39] Taro/I
it might be too soon to use him while
we're building up Todo-kun's confidence.
[17:45] Chihaya
I won't hold back when I'm running.
[17:48] Todo
There's no need. I'll nail you.
[17:52] Suzuki

That's "safe."
[18:25] Todo
Don't go easy on me, idiot.
[18:27] Todo
That was obviously safe.
[18:30] Todo/I
But the throw wasn't wild,
even with a baserunner.
[18:36] Todo/I
Until now, it felt like
no matter what I tried,

the ball would sink and
disappear into a bottomless pit.

[00:01] Sato
Uh, behind me?
[00:03] Sato
Shoot. In front.
[00:05] Suzuki
Ah, so close.
[00:06] Todo
Let's take it easy.
[00:08] Todo
One more!
[00:10] Chihaya
We can have you on first base,
but what do we do about a center fielder?
[00:14] Taro
One of the seniors will have to—
[00:16] Suzuki
Got it!
[00:17] Suzuki
Oh, whoops.
[00:19] Todo
I'm sure someone will come along.
[00:22] Todo
That aside, we gotta practice!
[00:26] Taro/I
Now that he's overcome the yips,
Todo-kun is raring to go.
[00:31] (Flashback) Todo
We'll fight and aim for Koshien.
[00:34] Taro/I
Todo-kun looked so happy
when he was talking to himself.
[00:39] Taro/I
And he practices in earnest.
[00:44] Todo
Chihaya, take over on these fungoes.
[00:47] Todo
I'm gonna go make sure
Kaname isn't slacking.
[00:49] Chihaya
Sure, I can do that.

[01:02] Kei
It's baseball!
[01:04] Todo
It's a video game!
[01:05] Kei
It's still baseball.
[01:05] Game Voice/I
A clean hit!
[01:06] Todo
A video game's just a video game!
[01:06] Game Voice/I
The ball soars into the air!
[01:08] Kei
See? They got a hit
because of you, Aoi-chan!
[01:08] Game Voice/I

3D Baseball Isn't Really My Thing...
[03:01] Todo
Do you understand that?
[03:04] Kei
Why? Can't everyone else
support me and cover for me?
[03:08] Todo
You're the kaname rivet pin of the fan.
[03:10] Kei
"The kaname rivet pin of the fan"?
What's that mean?
[03:15] Todo
So the mound is here, right?
[03:17] Todo
The foul lines are here,
the fence is here...
[03:21] Kei
Why are you drawing a fried egg?
[03:23] Todo
I'm not! It's the field!
[03:27] Chihaya
Seen from above, a baseball field
looks like an open folding fan.
[03:31] Chihaya
And because of its position and role,
[03:35] Chihaya
the catcher is called
the kaname rivet pin.
[03:37] Kei
What the...
[03:38] Kei
But that's genius! Whoever thought
that up should win a Nobel prize!
[03:42] Taro/I
Unlikely.
[03:43] Todo
Anyway...
[03:45] Todo
You need to realize you're in a position
that can make or break a game.
[03:49] Kei
What?
[03:50] Chihaya
It's all about the center line.
[03:52] Kei
Huh? We got sent a lion?
[03:54] Chihaya
That's not what I said.
[03:55] Taro
It refers to the positions
that are most crucial for defense:
[03:59] Taro
the catcher, the second baseman,
the shortstop, and the center fielder.
[04:01] Sign
Center
Fielder
[04:01] Sign

[04:03] Kei
Oh, Shun-chan's and Aoi-chan's positions.
[04:07] Kei
Wait, a "center fielder"?
Someone who only defends center field?
[04:11] Kei
I mean, aren't all outfielders the same?
[04:14] Taro/I
They'd be mad if they heard you say that.
[04:17] Chihaya
The center fielder is the
kaname rivet pin of the outfield.
[04:21] Chihaya
They're expected to do more
than other outfielders.
[04:24] Chihaya
To cover both right and left,
they need to be quick on their feet.
[04:28] Chihaya
And even give instructions
to the other outfielders.
[04:31] Chihaya
Which means if we want to win,
we must find a new center fielder.
[04:37] Kei
Should we go to Kichijoji
to find a center fielder?
[04:39] Todo
You have practicing to do.
[04:41] Chihaya
Your catching has improved, but your other
fundamentals leave much to be desired.
[04:49] Kei
I know that.
[04:51] Kei
I also want to get better.
[04:54] Kei
Sorry, timeout.
[04:56] Taro/I
He didn't last long.
[05:00] Kei
Look, I'm bleeding.
[05:02] Taro/I
No, you're not.
[05:03] Kei
Who came up with blocking? Stopping
the ball with your body hurts like hell!
[05:07] Todo
'Course it does. If you ain't in pain,
you ain't playing baseball.
[05:10] Kei
That's called torture!
[05:12] Todo
It doesn't matter how, just stop the ball
and throw it. That's what a catcher does!
[05:17] Kei
But, I mean, I can already
catch the ball, y'know?
[05:20] Kei
So it's "No, thank you"
to this practice for dummies.
[05:22] Todo
What?!
[05:23] Kei
"Mr. Theory" Shun-chan rejects the do-or-die
attitude of stopping it with your body, right?
[05:28] Chihaya
Actually, stopping the ball
with your body is the catcher's job.
[05:31] Kei
Are you kidding me, Shunpei?!
[05:34] Kei
My partner's crying out of guilt.
[05:37] Kei
You don't want me to go through
such cruel training... do you?
[05:40] Haruka
Drop everything and catch my pitch.
[05:43] Kei
Damn you!
[05:44] Todo
Stop complaining and
get back to practicing.
[05:47] Sign
Patience
[05:49] Taro/I
I have a bad feeling about this.
[05:54] Chihaya
Blocking is necessary to
respond to bad bounces.
[05:58] Todo
Stop dodging it! Block it with your body!
[06:00] Haruka
Catch my pitch.
Catch my pitch. Catch my pitch.
[06:09] Kei
I'm going for a run!
[06:11] Todo
Hey, stop! Why are you
running toward the school?
[06:14] Todo

have to go through this ordeal?!
[06:35] Kei
I just can't! It's too hard!
[06:36] Kei
It's impossible.
[06:40] Tsuchiya
Um...
[06:42] Kei
Hmm?
[06:43] Kei/Tsuchiya
Whoa!
[06:44] Kei
Huh? Who are you?
How long have you been here?
[06:46] Tsuchiya
I-I was here first.
[06:48] Kei
You're so unnoticeable.
[06:50] Kei
Huh? Is that Power Pros?
[06:53] Tsuchiya
Y-Yeah.
[06:54] Kei
I play that, too.
[06:57] Kei
Here, look. I've got a lot, see?
[06:57] Tsuchiya/I
Th-The uniform's coming toward me!
[07:00] Tsuchiya
Baseball team,
baseball team, baseball team.
[07:02] Kei
That's right. I'm on the baseball team.
[07:05] Taro
Ah, there you are, Kaname-kun.
[07:08] Tsuchiya
More baseball team?!
[07:10] Kei
Bah, you found me.
[07:11] Taro
I'm glad I found you.
[07:13] Kei

Nope. Look.

[07:25] Tsuchiya
Eek! Baseball team!
[07:26] Taro
Huh? He's afraid of us? Why?
[07:30] Kei
Not sure.
[07:31] Tsuchiya
I-I'm sorry. 3D baseball

[07:41] Tsuchiya
In these, baseball's always cool,
passionate, and awesome.
[07:46] Kei
And 3D baseball?
[07:47] Tsuchiya
I-It's too real.
[07:48] Taro/I
That's because it is.
[07:51] Taro
What about baseball on TV?
[07:52] Taro
It's technically in 2D if it's on a TV.
[07:55] Tsuchiya
Hmm, I see what you mean.
[07:57] Tsuchiya
To my mind, 3D equals
3D in any shape or form.
[08:01] Tsuchiya
Even if the output's 2D,
I still view it as being different.
[08:05] Tsuchiya
Basically, 2D should be...
[08:05] Taro/I
I see. I don't get it.
[08:08] Tsuchiya
S-Sorry.
[08:09] Tsuchiya
I'm actually...
[08:10] Kei/Taro
Actually?
[08:13] Teuchiya
...an otaku.
[08:14] Taro/I
Sorry, but that was very clear.
[08:16] Kei
So you're saying baseball in 3D is no good?
[08:19] Tsuchiya
I-I-I-I'm sorry! I mean no offense by it.
[08:22] Kei
Yeah, 3D baseball is shit! This guy gets it!
[08:25] Kei
Man, we get along well, you and me.
[08:28] Tsuchiya
H-Huh?
[08:29] Kei
It has guys who are super confident and pushy
just 'cause they're physically strong, y'know?
[08:30] Haruka
Catch my pitch, stupid doodoo-head.
[08:34] Tsuchiya
Right...
[08:35] Kei
And they're stubborn, talking about guts
and spirit like headstrong old men!
[08:35] Todo
You have no spine!
Go do some training runs, idiot!
[08:39] Tsuchiya
Um...
[08:40] Kei
And since it's a competitive sport,
[08:41] Chihaya
Kaname-kun, this is probably
way over your head.
[08:42] Kei
you get these smarty-pants types
who are kinda mean, y'know?
[08:46] Tsuchiya
Oh...
[08:47] Tsuchiya
S-Some people might be like that.
[08:49] Kei
I know, right?
[08:51] Tsuchiya
A-And they're good-looking and popular,
so I'm sure they all have girlfriends.
[09:00] Kei
Exactly.
[09:01] Taro/I
That part doesn't apply, though.
[09:04] Tsuchiya
You're funny. You're not scary,
despite being on the baseball team.
[09:08] Kei
People call me "Kotesashi's top comedian."
[09:10] Taro/I
No one calls you that.
[09:11] Tsuchiya
In truth, I used to play baseball, too.
[09:15] Taro
You did?
[09:16] Tsuchiya
Yeah. Rubber baseball, though.
[09:18] Taro
Can I ask which position?
[09:20] Tsuchiya
Reserve center fielder.
[09:22] Taro/Kei
Center fielder!
[09:23] Taro
You know, if you'd like—
[09:25] Tsuchiya
But I quit right away.
[09:28] Tsuchiya
I've never been assertive or tenacious,
so I couldn't get used to the system.
[09:34] Kei
"System"?
[09:35] Tsuchiya
Like the rules or the unspoken
understanding within the team.
[09:39] Taro
Oh, like the hierarchy.
[09:42] Tsuchiya
Yeah.
[09:43] Tsuchiya
First-years had to go get the balls,
[09:46] Tsuchiya
and there was no concept
of being in it together.
[09:49] Tsuchiya
You got yelled at if you didn't
greet seniors 10 meters away from you.
[09:54] Tsuchiya
I found it all strange,
but that was the system.
[10:02] Tsuchiya
The others were hot-tempered,
and I didn't get along with them.
[10:05] Tsuchiya
It wasn't fun at all.
[10:08] Tsuchiya
So I figured baseball wasn't a sport
someone like me should play.
[10:15] Tsuchiya
Before I knew it, I came to hate baseball.
[10:21] Kei
I found us a new center fielder.
[10:25] Tsuchiya
What?!
[10:26] Todo
You can be useful sometimes.
[10:28] Tsuchiya
Weren't you listening at all?
[10:29] Kei
You said you were a center fielder.
[10:31] Tsuchiya
But I was the reserve.
[10:33] Kei
I'll be in trouble if they
find out I was slacking.
[10:35] Taro/I
We can hear you.
[10:36] Tsuchiya
I-I'd like to leave, please.
[10:40] Todo
Are you in?
[10:42] Haruka
Who's this?
[10:44] Taro/I
Big, tall baseball players...
It's his worst nightmare.
[10:48] Tsuchiya
I can't!
[10:49] Chihaya
Please wait. If we could just talk—
[10:56] Taro/I
It sometimes occurs to me that
there might be lots of undiscovered talent
[11:02] Taro/I
that has been buried by systems
governed by strict rules and hierarchy.
[11:07] Chihaya
Don't presume you can run away
from me. Not with my legs.
[11:18] Chihaya
So you don't have much stamina.
[11:21] Chihaya
But you're evenly matched with me
for the first 15 meters.
[11:24] Chihaya
I think you should join the baseball team.
[11:29] Kei
Wow, you're pretty fast, dude.
[11:32] Haruka
Play center field.
[11:33] Todo
Your legs can be our weapon.
[11:35] Chihaya
Yup.
[11:36] Chihaya
If he can hit, too, maybe he and I
could bat leadoff and second.
[11:40] Todo
Huh? Our leadoff's obviously me.
[11:42] Haruka
I'm number one.
[11:44] Kei
Wanna praise me some more
for scouting him?
[11:48] Taro
But we can't force him to do it.
[11:50] Taro
His own wishes are important.
[11:53] Suzuki
Hey!
[11:54] Taro
Yes?
[11:55] Suzuki
That guy left.
[11:58] All
Huh?

He said he can't handle 3D baseball.

[12:16] Kei
So sweet! So good!
[12:18] Taro
I wonder where he's gone.
[12:20] Chihaya
We checked every first-year class,
but we couldn't even find a clue.
[12:25] Todo
How unnoticeable can you get?
[12:27] Taro
We should at least have asked his name.
[12:30] Haruka
Center.
[12:31] Taro
That's not his name.
[12:34] Kei
"Center" is obviously not a name.
[12:37] Haruka
Centa?
[12:37] Tsuchiya/I
The baseball team?
[12:38] Kei
Yeah, that'd be weird.
[12:39] Haruka
Cen Ter.
[12:40] Kei
Huh? So "Cen" is his last name?
[12:42] Taro
It's not his name.
[12:43] Kei
It's not?
[12:44] Taro
I just said that. Who has a name like that?
[12:46] Kei
Then, what's his name?
[12:47] Haruka
Center.
[12:49] Kei
Huh? Where?
[12:53] Kei
Haru-chan, you shouldn't lie.
[12:58] Todo
One. Two. Three. Four.
[13:03] Kei
My thighs are about to explode!
[13:05] Todo
Footwork's fundamental for a catcher!
[13:07] Todo
Work your legs till you can't stand!
[13:10] Kei
I'm dead.
[13:11] Todo
No giving up. Do 30 more.
[13:16] Todo
Don't pretend you're dead!
[13:18] Kei
At least let me take this off!
[13:20] Todo
No.
[13:21] Kei
It's hard to move in
and it just feels weird.
[13:24] Todo
I've got an idea.
[13:25] Todo
Kaname, wear it in class, too.
[13:28] Kei
Come again?
[13:29] Chihaya
Oh, from the standpoint of getting
used to it, that's not a bad idea.
[13:32] Haruka
Catch my pitch.
[13:33] Taro/I
These people are evil.
[13:36] Todo
Don't just decide to end practice!
[13:40] Kei
Then I'll go for a run!
[13:42] Kei
Doodoo-head. Doodoo-head.
[13:42] Todo
Hey! Don't you dare run away!
[13:46] Kei
I can't take it anymore!
[13:48] Tsuchiya
Eek! The baseball team again!
[13:49] Kei
It's just nonstop nagging!
[13:52] Kei
I'm doing the best I can, y'know.
[13:54] Taro
Kaname-kun, are you okay?
[13:57] Tsuchiya
More baseball team!
[13:59] Kei
Bah, you found me again? But how?
[14:02] Taro/I
"You're simpleminded."
No, I can't say that.
[14:04] Taro
Todo-kun's hazing is a bit much,
so I'll speak to him about it.
[14:08] Kei
Yama-chan...
[14:10] Tsuchiya
Excuse me.
[14:11] Kei/Taro
Hmm?
[14:12] Kei/Taro
Whoa!
[14:14] Taro
You scared me.
[14:15] Kei
Center-kun!
[14:16] Kei
Fate has brought us together again.
[14:18] Kei
Will you please join our baseball team?
[14:20] Tsuchiya
Huh?
[14:21] Kei
If I bring us a new center fielder,
my status in the team will go shooting up.
[14:25] Kei
I'll be able to ditch that hard practice.
[14:27] Taro/I
That's pathetic.
[14:28] Tsuchiya
I can't. I could never play 3D baseball.
[14:32] Kei
Hmm. Then let's settle this with Power Pros.
[14:36] Tsuchiya
What?
[14:37] Kei
If you win, I'll admit defeat.
[14:40] Kei
I won't ask you again.
[14:42] Kei
But if I win, you become our center fielder.

[15:24] Tsuchiya
But I heard the word "hazing"...
[15:26] Kei
What? U-Uh, w-well,
you could start by observing.
[15:43] Tsuchiya
S-So fast.
[15:47] Haruka
Next, you try catching.
[15:48] Tsuchiya
What?!
[15:49] Todo
He's a center fielder.
[15:51] Chihaya
Kiyomine-kun, go and do
weight training. You're in the way.
[15:55] Tsuchiya
Why are these amazing players
at a public school? Who are they?
[15:58] Taro
They're the Kiyomine-Kaname
battery from Hoya Senior.
[16:01] Tsuchiya
I-I've heard of them.
[16:03] Taro
But Kaname-kun's suffering from amnesia,
so he's an amateur now.
[16:07] Kei
All the breast!
[16:08] Tsuchiya
He's so dumb!
[16:09] Taro
You're not wrong.
[16:10] Tsuchiya
But also really cool.
[16:13] Taro
Huh?
[16:14] Tsuchiya
Amnesia. It's like a manga.
He's like a 2D character.

[16:31] Taro
As long as you're here, why not
join our practice for a bit?
[16:36] Taro
We have extra gloves, so we can
just play catch or something.
[16:39] Todo
All right!
[16:41] Todo
Let's start with a basic training run.
[16:43] Todo
Your stamina's crap.
[16:46] Chihaya
Stamina can't be built up overnight.
[16:49] Chihaya
We should do some light fungoes.
[16:53] Todo
Excuse me?
[16:55] Todo
Do you have something against me?
[16:57] Chihaya
Perish the thought.
[16:58] Chihaya
But I do question forcing someone
who doesn't like baseball to run.
[17:02] Todo
Huh? You can't fully enjoy baseball
unless you can make good plays.
[17:05] Todo
And that requires basic stamina.
[17:09] Chihaya
Todo-kun, you're serious to a fault.
[17:13] Taro
C'mon, guys. Why don't
we ask him what he'd like to do?
[17:16] Chihaya
What do you think? Do you want to run?
[17:19] Tsuchiya
H-Huh?!
[17:21] Kei
A serious turn-off.
[17:23] Kei
"Just do a training run."
Yeah, that sounds real dumb.
[17:27] Todo
Why are you answering the question?
[17:29] Tsuchiya
There goes 3D.
[17:35] Chihaya
Are you ready?
[17:38] Todo
Isn't that too deep?
[17:39] Chihaya
No, with his legs...
[17:43] Todo
Man, he's fast!
[17:45] Haruka
I'm faster.
[17:46] Taro
He has time to spare!
[18:02] Chihaya
Shall we try one more?
[18:11] Tsuchiya
I'm sorry.
[18:13] Tsuchiya
I couldn't catch a single one.
[18:15] Tsuchiya
Baseball just isn't for—
[18:17] Chihaya
It's all right.
[18:19] Chihaya
Hasn't anyone pointed out
to you how fast you are?
[18:23] Chihaya
Your initial sprint has room
for improvement,
[18:27] Chihaya
but you're still getting under
the ball with time to spare.
[18:30] Chihaya
Your legs can be a strong weapon.
[18:32] Tsuchiya
I didn't know that.
[18:34] Todo
You just need to practice catching.
[18:37] Taro
It'd be a shame to let
your talent be buried.
[18:39] Chihaya
Hey, I know.
[18:40] Chihaya
Would you like to try a jumping catch?
[18:43] Tsuchiya
A jump...
[18:44] Tsuchiya/Taro/Todo
A jumping catch?!
[18:46] Kei
That sounds so cool.
[18:48] Chihaya
Take a step with your right,
jump off with your left,
[18:53] Chihaya
and catch.
[18:54] Chihaya
Then land on your right foot.
[18:56] Chihaya
That way, it's a smooth
transition to throwing it.
[18:58] Tsuchiya
I can't even catch it normally!
There's no way I can catch it in the air!
[19:02] Chihaya
It's totally fine if you miss it.
[19:11] Tsuchiya/I
A jumping catch.
[19:13] Tsuchiya/I
Like a star player.
[19:33] Tsuchiya
I... I caught it.
[19:34] Kei
Yes!
[19:37] Taro
That was amazing!
[19:38] Todo
Not bad.
[19:40] Kei
But catching it in the air
seems more difficult. So how?
[19:43] Chihaya
Your body can't tense up
when you're in the air.
[19:48] Chihaya
The time before was just a matter of nerves.
[19:51] Tsuchiya
Um... I...
[19:54] Kei
You actually want to
play baseball, don't you?
[19:58] Tsuchiya
Huh?
[19:59] Kei
If you truly hated it,
you wouldn't play it, even in 2D.
[20:02] Kei
You wouldn't play Power Pros.
[20:10] Tsuchiya
But I ran from it.
[20:14] Tsuchiya
The other members called me gutless
and laughed at me in the hallway,
[20:19] Tsuchiya
so I felt like I could never go back.
[20:23] Tsuchiya
I like baseball,
[20:25] Tsuchiya
but I can't take the people around it
and the environment.
[20:33] Todo
I ran, too. In my second year of junior high.
[20:37] Todo
But somehow, I'm playing again.
[20:41] Chihaya
I'm the same as well.
[20:45] Kei
Don't worry, it's all right.
[20:47] Kei
If it gets too tough,
you can skip practice.
[20:49] Todo
You skip way too much.
[20:51] Taro
W-Well...
[20:52] Taro
Right now, we're looking
for a center fielder.
[20:55] Taro
Will you consider it?

I was getting too caught up in practice.

Wearing the protector in class
was going a bit too far.

Wow, you're being awfully agreeable.
Did something happen?

Cram it.

Nice catch!

[23:33] Kei
From here on, you're going to kill off
every single baseball player you meet.
[23:41] Chihaya
Another benefit of the jumping catch
[23:43] Chihaya
is it's easier to catch the ball
since your line of sight is more stable.
[23:46] Tsuchiya
Wow.

Hey, Kaname, did you know that?

Of course I did.

You're good at that.

I'd become the finest catcher

That sounds dumb.
[03:27] Haruka
Kei.
[03:29] Haruka
Sprints to finish up.
[03:31] Kei
Again?
[03:32] Haruka
Do it.
[03:36] Chihaya
I wonder what would happen.
[03:39] Todo
If he went back to being
Kei Kaname the "Commander,"
[03:41] Todo
he'd be the only catcher able to control
that self-centered douche, Kiyomine.
[03:48] Kei
Ugh! Too hard! Ugh! I can't!

It hasn't been every morning,
but Kei's been doing it with me recently.

This lazyass?
[07:51] Chihaya

[07:55] Haruka
This morning, too.
[07:57] Haruka
So he's probably asleep because he's tired.
[08:02] Taro/I
Maybe he enjoys batting now 'cause he's
seeing gains from all those practice swings?

What the hell? That's so not like him.

Sounds more like Kei Kaname.

Well, he is Kei Kaname, for what it's worth.

[13:32] Suzuki/Sato/Tsuchiya
Yes, sir!
[13:33] Sato
B-But...
[13:35] Suzuki
We'd hate to get in your way.
[13:37] Kei
We're a team, so let's
become strong together.
[13:41] Sato
H-He's so cool.
[13:43] Suzuki
This is Kei Kaname the Commander!
[13:45] Tsuchiya
His concept, model sheet,
and voice acting are all extremely 2D!
[13:50] Kei
Chihaya, let's do fielding practice.
I'll hit fungoes. What do you think?
[13:54] Chihaya
Huh? I think that's good.
[13:56] Chihaya
Why are you asking me?
[13:59] Kei
Considering the members of this team,
[14:01] Kei
I assumed you were the one
carrying us with your knowledge.
[14:07] Kei
Thanks.
[14:08] Kei
From now on, let's share our methods
and raise the quality of our practice.
[14:13] Chihaya
I-I see.
[14:17] Kei
Are you ready?
[14:18] Kei
Let's take it easy!
[14:25] Kei
It's all right! No need to rush yourself!
[14:28] Tsuchiya
O-Okay, Kei-sama!
[14:31] Taro/I
Using "sama" now?
[14:41] Kei
Center yourself a little lower!
[14:43] Kei
Catch the ball in front of you!
[14:46] Suzuki/Sato/Tsuchiya
Right!
[14:49] Taro/I
The mood's changed so much that
our practices before now feel gentle.
[14:56] Taro/I
And it's all because of the presence
of Kei Kaname the Commander.
[15:01] Kei
Okay, that's a good place to stop.
[15:03] All
Okay!
[15:03] Todo
S-Sure.
[15:08] Girl 1
Huh? I bet it was Kiyomine-kun.
[15:12] Girl 2
Yup.
[15:12] Girl 3
No, it was someone else.
He was on the field earlier.
[15:16] Girl 2
Really?
[15:18] Girl 3
He had such presence,
and there was an air about him...
[15:28] Girl 3
E-Excuse me.
[15:31] Girl 3
Please use this towel, if you'd like.
[15:36] Kei
No, it's fine. I'll dry off soon.
[15:42] Girl 3
W-Wait...
[15:46] Girl 3
May I ask your name?
[15:51] Kei
Did you fall in love with me?
[15:56] Kei
Sorry, but I have no time to spare
for anything other than baseball.
[16:05] Girl 3
I'm in love!
[16:06] Todo
Who's confident enough to ask a girl you've
never met if she's fallen in love with you?
[16:13] Chihaya
But what's funny is...
[16:16] Sign

[16:16] Chihaya
Whether it's the hot Commander route
or the dumdum route...

[16:29] Todo
Really? Great news!
[16:33] Kei
We need more game experience.
[16:35] Kei
I'd like to set up a practice game, and soon.
[16:37] Chihaya
Oh, we played Teitoku the other day.
[16:40] Sato
Come to think of it, that was strange.
Why did they request us specifically?
[16:45] Suzuki
Right?
[16:47] Kei
Kokuto probably went to Teitoku, right?
[16:50] Todo
Yeah, he was there.
[16:52] Kei
He's weirdly romantic and passionate,
[16:55] Kei
so when he learned we were at a public school,
he probably wanted to play us.
[16:59] Kei
I imagine he negotiated
aggressively with the manager.
[17:02] Kei
Yeah, Kokuto must be responsible.
[17:05] Kei
Do you remember Eiichiro Kokuto?
[17:08] Haruka
Kokuto? He's annoying!
[17:10] Kei
So we lost by a lot?
[17:12] Kei
Kokuto would've been disappointed by that,
so a rematch with Teitoku will be difficult.
[17:17] Taro/I
Kaname-kun's reading
is so precise. It's incred—
[17:21] Tsuchiya
Incredible!
[17:22] Tsuchiya
That's Kei-sama for you!
[17:24] Tsuchiya
That insight is why you're the Commander,
[17:26] Tsuchiya
the man closest to being a 2D character!
[17:29] Tsuchiya
So hyped! So stoked! So precious!
[17:31] Tsuchiya
You're a god. A god!
[17:33] Taro/I
Tsuchiya-senpai is super-excited!
[17:35] Tsuchiya
Kei-sama, I'd love to see
your batting as well.
[17:40] Tsuchiya
Would you like to go to
a batting center after school?
[17:43] Kei
A batting center, huh?
I'm no good in those places.
[17:47] Tsuchiya
Surely you're joking, Kei-sama?
[17:50] Kei
No, I mean it.
[17:53] Kusuda
Here we go!
[17:54] Taro
Todo-kun, don't get too irritated.
[17:56] Todo
I'm not irritated.
[17:58] Kusuda
Damn, who's being so loud?
[18:00] Mitarai
Oh, it's those guys.
[18:02] Kusuda
Oh, it's the dumb first-year.
[18:05] Kusuda
He's, like, super dumb.
Don't think I'll ever lose to that guy.
[18:10] Mitarai
Seriously.
[18:11] Kusuda
The baseball team is actually practicing
and stuff these days. Makes me laugh.
[18:16] Mitarai
They piss me off.
[18:20] Kei
A batting center, huh?
[18:27] Kei
I don't like these places because
it's all dead pitches by a machine.
[18:31] Kei
Especially with this arm-type
machine, the timing is...
[18:37] Kei
too obvious, you know?
[18:39] Kei
So I get closer like this.
[18:44] Kei
But nothing beats live pitches
from a human being, don't you think?
[18:51] Tsuchiya
Kei-sama, you're too amazing!
[18:51] Sign
Kaname
[18:51] Sign
Kei
[18:53] Tsuchiya
You're beyond 2D!
[18:54] Taro
Kaname-kun, you're truly, truly awesome!
[18:57] Todo
I mean, so what?
[18:59] Chihaya
Indeed. Anyone can do that.
[19:02] Taro/I
They really can't.
[19:03] Todo
Oh! Where's Mr. "I have to compete
with everyone on everything"?
[19:07] Chihaya
He must be unhappy.
[19:08] Todo
He's not?!
[19:09] Chihaya
He looks happy?!
[19:10] Todo
What the hell?!
[19:13] Mitarai
H-Hey!
[19:14] Mitarai
Don't lose to a guy like him!
[19:17] Kusuda
Crap.
[19:18] Taro
Kaname-kun, watch out!
[19:24] Kei
Please excuse me.
[19:25] Kei
It's my fault for stepping forward,
so don't worry about it.
[19:32] Kusuda
My girl's waiting for me, so I'm off.
[19:34] Taro/I
Stop with that lie already.
[19:36] Taro/I
After that, Kei Kaname continued
to behave like the Commander. And...
[19:42] Kei
Everyone, gather around. I have good news.
[19:45] Kei
We have a practice game.
[19:47] All
What?
[19:48] Kei
The spring tournament
is happening in Hachioji, right?
[19:51] Kei
I thought we could use it.
[19:54] Taro
Use what?
[19:56] Kei
Today's the semifinals.
[19:58] Kei
When there are two games,
that means two teams lose.
[20:02] Kei
They don't proceed to the final tomorrow.
[20:05] Kei
Which means they're free.
[20:08] Kei
This morning, knowing it was a long shot,
I approached a team after they lost,
[20:11] Kei
and managed to secure a game.
[20:13] Kei
I'd met the manager of that team
a couple of times before, so I was lucky.
[20:19] Kei
They were in the semifinals, meaning they're
one of the top four in the Tokyo region.
[20:23] Taro/I
Kei Kaname...
[20:23] Kei
They are undoubtedly one of
the powerhouses after Teitoku.
[20:25] Taro/I
Honestly, how much cooler can he get?
[20:29] Kei
Let's keep our guard up.
[20:31] Chihaya
By the way, which team are we playing?
[20:34] Kei
Oh, it's Hikawa High School.
[20:37] Kei
Let's do light practice
to prep for tomorrow's game.
[20:40] All
Right.
[20:42] Suzuki
I can't believe we have a game again.
[20:44] Sato
We gotta practice. Gotta practice.
[20:47] Taro/I
It's amazing. Kaname-kun's evolving
everything right in front of our eyes.
[20:52] Haruka
Kei.
[20:54] Kei
Yeah, what's up?
[20:57] Haruka
I want you to catch my pitch. Just one.
[21:02] Kei
Did you rest your arm?
[21:09] Kei
Guess I'll have to.
[21:24] Kei
Just one pitch, all right?
[21:38] Tsuchiya
What was that sound?
[21:40] Taro/I
I'd assumed I'd already witnessed the
return of the genius battery on this field.
[21:47] Taro/I
But...
[21:53] Kei
Nice ball.
[21:55] Taro/I
A miracle pitch, only made possible
when Kei Kaname the Commander
[21:59] Taro/I
catches a pitch from prodigy
Kiyomine Haruka.
[22:05] Taro/I
Perhaps that was the moment
the genius battery truly returned.
[23:40] Todo
Kei Kaname the Commander
really was unbelievable.
[23:43] Taro
But...
[23:44] Chihaya
I see. Even though you're relieved,
you feel a twinge of sadness.
[23:48] Todo
Yama, that's actually adorable.
[23:51] Sign

[00:03] Kei
Hikawa High's a powerhouse that reached
the semifinals in the spring tournament.
[00:07] Tsuchiya
Semifinals?
[00:10] Kei
But we're an unknown school.
[00:12] Kei
They'll leave out the starters
and use their bench for this game.
[00:17] Kei
Even so, Hikawa's overall level is high.
[00:21] Kei
They're the perfect team
for a practice game.
[00:25] Taro
Chihaya-kun, is everything okay?
[00:28] Chihaya
Oh, it's fine.
[00:30] Todo
Then lose the frown already.

[00:41] Makita
Wait. Kei Kaname?
[00:44] Makita
Whoa! Haruka Kiyomine?
[00:46] Makita
It really is Hoya Senior's genius battery.
[00:49] Makita
I can't believe it.
[00:52] Makita
I played against you
when I was on Fujimi Senior.
[00:56] Makita
What the heck are you
doing at a public school?
[00:58] Makita
It's pointless playing baseball there.
[01:03] Haruka
Who are you?
[01:04] Makita
Huh? I'm Makita.
[01:06] Makita
Hironobu Makita, the pitcher.
[01:09] Makita
You don't remember me?
[01:10] Kei
Sorry.
[01:12] Kei
We're rather forgetful, you see.
[01:14] Kei
I'll remember it now, Makimura-kun.
[01:19] Makita
Not Makimura. Ma-ki-ta!
[01:21] Taro/I
Yeah, he knows exactly who this guy is.
[01:23] Kei
Okay, I got it, Makihara-kun.
[01:25] Makita
I just told you...
[01:32] Makita
Chihaya?
[01:33] Makita
Is that really you?
[01:35] Makita
It's me. Makita!

[03:23] Chihaya
That so?
[03:25] Makita
Still, isn't a public school winning
at regionals impossible? Just insane.
[03:29] Chihaya
So it is.
[03:30] Makita
You should've come to Hikawa, too.
We can totally make it to Koshien.
[03:34] Chihaya
I see.
[03:37] Makita
You're every bit as boring as I remember.
[03:42] Todo
Why'd you let that fool run
his mouth like that?
[03:47] Chihaya
He drones on if you pay him any attention.
[03:50] Todo
By the way, what happened
to that other senior?
[03:53] Mitarai
Oh, he has a date with his girlfriend.
[03:56] Taro/I
They can drop that lie already.
[04:06] Kei
Hikawa's second-year ace,
Shuto Kirishima, pitched yesterday,
[04:10] Kei
so he won't take the mound today.
[04:12] Kei
We have no data on their starting pitcher.
[04:15] Kei
Pay close attention your
first time through the order.
[04:18] Kei
But also stay aggressive.
[04:21] Kei
If the first pitch looks good, swing at it.
[04:23] Kei
Your specialty, right, Todo?
[04:25] Todo
R-R-Right.
[04:27] Taro
Oh, goosebumps.
[04:28] Kei
Oh, yeah. When you run to first,
be sure not to flip your bat.
[04:33] Tsuchiya
Huh? Oh, okay.
[04:35] Kei
It only leaves the umpire with
a bad impression, so there's no benefit.
[04:39] Kei
Let's retrieve the bat quickly, too.
[04:41] Kei
We'll raise our chance of victory,
if only by one percent.
[04:43] Taro/I
That's the Commander for you. So cool!
[04:48] Tsuchiya
Kei-sama?
[04:49] Taro
Huh? Wh-What's wrong? Are you okay?
[04:52] Kei
Yes, I'm fine. I had a sudden headache.
[04:58] Kei
Wait. Am I...
[05:00] Kei
...expected to perform a one-liner?
[05:02] Taro
No one expects that.
[05:04] Kei
I-I see. Right, of course.
[05:08] Todo
That was bad, right?
[05:10] Chihaya
It made me shiver.
[05:13] Todo
It's weird. Suddenly, that face
is starting to piss me off.
[05:17] Chihaya
A real-life trompe l'œil.
[05:27] Todo/I
He doesn't look all that powerful,
but best not to judge a book by its cover.
[05:31] Todo/I
I'lI just hit whatever comes at me.
[05:33] Todo/I
I'll swing at the first pitch
without hesitation if it's an easy one.
[05:37] Umpire
Play ball.
[05:40] Todo/I
Three-quarter ball,
leaning slightly sidearm.
[05:42] Todo/I
Most likely a breaking ball.
[05:44] Todo/I
Slow and straight.
[05:47] Todo/I
It's an easy line.
[05:54] First Base Umpire
Out.
[05:56] Todo/I
Damn, it wasn't square.
[05:59] Kei
That pitch...
[06:06] Umpire
Ball!
[06:07] Chihaya/I
So, after the fastball,
a telegraphed curveball?
[06:16] Umpire
Ball!
[06:18] Chihaya/I
Another curveball.
[06:20] Chihaya/I
Not a lot of variety there.
[06:22] Chihaya/I
Seems Todo-kun was right
to swing at the first pitch.
[06:26] Hikawa A
He's got a good eye.
[06:27] Makita
Huh? Yeah.
[06:30] Kurita
Chihaya was the best player on
our senior team. He's crazy fast, too.
[06:35] Hikawa A
Yeah?
[06:36] Hikawa B
Kurita, you were at Fujimi, too?
[06:38] Makita
But his play is far from dynamic.
It's so boring.
[06:44] Makita
I don't like how he plays baseball.
[06:51] Chihaya/I
An easy fastball.
[06:54] Taro
Missed the sweet spot again?
[06:57] First Base Umpire
Out.
[06:58] Chihaya/I
I see. That pitch is...
[07:05] Hikawa A
Next up is the Kei Kaname.
[07:07] Hikawa B
I hear his batting is nasty, too.
[07:10] Hikawa A
Two outs.
[07:11] Hikawa B
You got this!
[07:14] Chihaya
Kiyomine-kun, about that pitcher...
[07:17] Haruka
It's fine.
[07:17] Chihaya
Huh?
[07:18] Haruka
I just hit the pitch that comes at me.
[07:21] Chihaya
Right you are.
[07:23] Taro
I can't believe Todo-kun and
Chihaya-kun missed easy fastballs.
[07:30] Chihaya
It's a cutter.
[07:31] Suzuki
A cutter?
[07:32] Todo
For real? The pitch was kinda slow,
so I didn't realize.
[07:36] Suzuki
And, uh, what is that again?
[07:39] Chihaya
A cutter doesn't curve
as much as a curveball,
[07:42] Chihaya
but it's fast and veers away sharply
just as it reaches the batter.

I can hit them in Power Pros,
but how do I hit them in real life?
[07:50] Chihaya
It's all about timing.
[07:52] Chihaya
You've got to delay for a moment.
[07:54] Chihaya
Swing at it like a fastball and you'll fall
into their trap and not hit it cleanly.
[08:00] Chihaya
But with Kaname-kun,
as long as he knows what's coming...
[08:08] Chihaya
I expected nothing less.
[08:10] Hikawa A
A stand-up double.
[08:12] Hikawa B
So this is Kei Kaname, the "Commander."
[08:15] Makita
What the hell? Snobby bastard.
[08:24] Tsuchiya
Kei-sama!
[08:26] Taro/I
With this Kaname-kun on our team,
[08:29] Taro/I
we may actually beat
the semifinalist Hikawa team.
[08:34] Taro
This Kaname-kun, who signals
the pitch against him to the bench...
[08:36] Kei
He may use a cutter.
[08:39] Chihaya
Such dedicated play.
Unimaginable from who he used to be.
[08:43] Todo
Wait.
[08:44] Todo
That's not the sign for a cutter.
[08:47] Kei
He may use a cutter.
[08:48] Todo
That ain't the cutter sign!
[08:49] Taro
Unconscious "nipple hair"?
[08:51] Chihaya
The worst pattern.
[08:54] Todo
Damn it. When he's quiet,
we can't tell them apart. Is he okay?
[08:59] Chihaya
I'm getting irritated by that face, too.
[09:02] Taro/I
We may be running out of time.
[09:12] Umpire
Intentional walk.
[09:13] Haruka
Why?
[09:17] Kei
They're wary of you
from the first inning, Haruka.
[09:21] Kei
Yama, this is our chance.
[09:24] Todo
Let's go, Yama! Swing at the first pitch!
[09:28] Todo
Why's he so nervous?
[09:31] Chihaya
Is he the type who tenses up
at a chance in the first inning?
[09:37] Umpire
Strike!
[09:39] Taro/I
An easy strike, low to the outside.
[09:43] Taro/I
But I have to hit it.
[09:47] Umpire
Foul!
[09:52] Taro/I
Two pitches and my back's against the wall.
[09:55] Taro/I
At this rate, I'll...
[09:58] Kei
Timeout.
[10:00] Todo
What's this?
[10:04] Kei
Yama.
[10:06] Taro
Th-Thank you.
[10:08] Kei
Are you nervous about playing
on the same team as me?
[10:11] Chihaya/Todo
Huh?
[10:13] Taro
A-Actually, I am.
[10:17] Todo
Yama! You're just too nice!
[10:21] Chihaya
The Commander persona
is full of confidence.
[10:24] Kei
I was joking, silly.
You're supposed to say no.
[10:28] Taro
No, really.
[10:31] Taro
I'm just a fan, so...
[10:35] Kei
The Yamada I knew wasn't like this.
[10:39] Kei
Be more confident.
[10:42] Taro
Th-Thank—
[10:43] Todo
Hey, Yama! Pull yourself together!
[10:46] Todo
That may be the "Commander" now,
but don't forget the days when he was a fool!
[10:52] Taro
The days when he was a fool?
[10:54] Kei
You can leave his curveballs.
[10:57] Kei
Todo and Chihaya struck out on the cutter.
[10:59] Kei/I
Nipple hair!
[11:00] Kei
The next one will be
a cutter, too, so swing for it.
[11:04] Kei
Hmm? What's the matter?
[11:06] Taro
Oh, sorry.
[11:08] Taro
I was reminded of "nipple hair."
[11:11] Kei
"Nipple hair"? What are you talking about?
[11:14] Taro/I
About you.
[11:22] Umpire
Play.
[11:25] Taro/I
Be confident.
[11:28] Taro/I
Delay for a moment...
[11:31] Taro/I
And there!
[11:33] Kei
That's the way.
[11:37] Umpire
Safe!
[11:38] Todo
Aw, yeah! Our first run!
[11:40] Chihaya
He read it well and went for it.
[11:46] Kei
I told you, didn't I?
[11:48] Kei
You're a good player.
[11:52] Taro/I
I myself was shocked at how happy I was
to be acknowledged by Kei Kaname.
[12:12] Taro/I
This is the sight I've been longing to see.
[12:22] Umpire
Strike!
[12:27] Taro/I
The genius battery...
[12:30] Umpire
Strike!
[12:31] Taro/I
...blowing away the
powerhouse that is Hikawa.
[12:34] Umpire
Strike! You're out!
[12:38] Makita
M-My pitch is faster! Right, Kurita?
[12:41] Kurita
Huh?
[12:42] Makita
What do ya mean, "Huh"?
[12:45] Tsuchiya
Amazing.
[12:46] Todo
It's even faster than...
[12:49] Chihaya
...when we played Teitoku.
[12:51] Taro
This is Haruka Kiyomine
and Kei Kaname at full throttle.
[12:58] Umpire
Strike! You're out!
[13:01] Taro/I
I bet Kiyomine-kun is feeling it
more than any of us.
[13:06] Taro/I
He must have been lonely
and heartbroken all this time.
[13:18] Taro/I
No.
[13:19] Taro/I
The only thing Kiyomine-kun's
thinking about right now is pitching.
[13:24] Taro/I
The only thing he can see
is Kaname-kun's glove.
[13:28] Taro/I
That's right.
[13:29] Taro/I
This is the monster of a pitcher who
blows everyone away: Haruka Kiyomine.
[13:37] Umpire
Strike! You're out!
[13:42] Hikawa A
An immaculate inning?
[13:54] Kei
Nice pitching.

[14:15] Hikawa Manager
Kirishima, you have an off day today.
[14:17] Shuto
Yes, yes, I know.
[14:20] Shuto
I'm not planning on pitching.
[14:23] Shuto

battery from the best seat in the house.
[14:27] Makita
They're not that great.
[14:29] Shuto
Fact is, Kiyomine-kun's a much
faster gorilla than you, Makita-kun.
[14:34] Makita

[15:06] Shuto

[15:08] Makita
Huh?
[15:09] Shuto
More importantly, Kei Kaname...
[15:11] Shuto
His pitch mixing,
his catching, his behavior...
[15:15] Shuto
All of it is gauged to draw the best out
of his pitcher. He's a good catcher.
[15:20] Shuto
Wish he'd catch my pitches, too.
[15:25] Kei
The way I see it, at the top of the third,
they'll use the next pillar after their ace:
[15:29] Kei
their power pitcher, Makita.
[15:32] Kei
Then the game really begins.
[15:39] Kei
Phew.
[15:40] Taro
What?
[15:41] Todo
He lay down all of a sudden.

[16:30] Chihaya
Okay, let's make sure
he stays still without talking.
[16:34] Chihaya
Yes, that looks great.
[16:36] Taro
If we can get to the ninth like this...
[16:39] Kei

He didn't, no.

Runners on first and second. It's a chance.

Kei Kaname the Commander.
[17:25] Hikawa Pitcher
And here comes Kei Kaname.
[17:27] Hikawa Manager
Time for a change.
[17:31] Taro/I
As Kaname-kun predicted,
Makita-kun is pitching.
[17:50] Taro/I
So fast. It's hard for my eyes to adjust
to his speed after that first pitcher.
[17:56] Shuto
He's such a gorilla! That's hilarious.
[17:59] Shuto
Makita-kun, you're funny!
[18:01] Shuto
His meathead power ball...
[18:05] Shuto
I'm excited to see how
Kei Kaname deals with it.
[18:12] Makita
I'm gonna crush you.
[18:14] Umpire
Play!
[18:22] Umpire
Ball!
[18:26] Taro/I
So close! Nice job holding back!
[18:28] Shuto
A good eye.
[18:30] Shuto
A good batter on top
of everything? Awesome.
[18:34] Shuto
Too bad I can't pitch today.
[18:37] Shuto
I want to go up against Kei Kaname soon.
[18:41] Kurita
Oh, it looks like it's over.
[18:44] Shuto
Huh?

I thanked the gods.
[18:55] Taro/I
Because even if it was
only for a little while,
[18:58] Taro/I
I got to play baseball
with Kei Kaname the Commander.
[19:02] Kei
Wait. What?
[19:03] Kei
Why am I playing in a game?
[19:05] Umpire
Batter, get back in the box.
[19:08] Kei
Yama-chan!
[19:09] Kei
Seriously, I have no memory of this.
What's going on?
[19:12] Kei
This is so Marilyn Mon-no.
[19:16] Taro/I
Welcome back, Kaname-kun.
[19:19] Kei
Yama-chan, are you crying?
[19:21] Kei
Did something bad happen?
[19:22] Kei
I'll happily listen to your plight.
[19:25] Tsuchiya
Wait, he's not Kei-sama anymore?
[19:27] Kei
Huh? No, I'm just regular "Kei-chan."
[19:30] Sato
Do you know what "high cheddar" is?
[19:32] Kei

[19:33] Tsuchiya
You're not Kei-sama at all! How 2D of you!
[19:37] Kei
Where am I?
[19:39] Taro
At Hikawa High School.
[19:40] Kei
Why are we playing a game?
[19:42] Taro
Because you set it up.
[19:43] Kei
Seriously?
[19:45] Taro/I
Don't open snacks.
[19:47] Kei
Seems I lost my memory again.
[19:50] Kei
Am I cool or what?
[19:51] Tsuchiya
Cool like a miracle!
[19:53] Kei
You think?
[19:55] Taro/I
Don't start snacking.
[19:58] Taro/I
Don't lie down.
[20:00] Taro/I
Wow. He's gone all lazy,
as if trying make up for lost time.
[20:05] Tsuchiya
The difference is amazing.
[20:07] Taro/I
Commander mode must have been tough.
[20:09] Taro
Kaname-kun, it's a bad idea
to fall asleep mid-game.
[20:13] Kei
Yeah. Nipple hair...
[20:17] Taro
Is he sleep-talking?
[20:18] Tsuchiya
So 2D!
[20:22] Umpire
Strike!
[20:24] Makita
Don't go looking away, Haruka Kiyomine.
[20:35] Makita
When it comes to fastballs, I'm number one.
[20:41] Umpire
Foul.
[20:48] Shuto
The beautiful gorilla
versus the wild gorilla.
[20:51] Shuto
Makita-kun aside, despite how he looks,
Kiyomine-kun's an instinctive player.
[20:56] Shuto
It'll be quite a show
seeing which one wins.
[20:59] Makita
The next one will be 10 kph faster.
[21:09] Hikawa A
Whoa!
[21:10] Shuto
Nope. It's long, but...
[21:18] Second Base Umpire
Out.
[21:20] Taro
I can't believe Kiyomine-kun
got all tied up by a straight pitch.
[21:24] Shuto
Our gorilla's only
selling point is his power.
[21:27] Shuto
His pitching speed is first-class.
[21:30] Shuto
Don't underestimate him
too much, Kiyomine-kun.
[21:44] Makita
Even Kiyomine gave in to my power.
[21:47] Makita
You'll never hit my pitch.
[21:50] Chihaya
Right.
[21:52] Makita
Physique is everything in baseball.
[22:05] Chihaya/I
These walls... I can't run from them.
[23:40] Chihaya
Baseball's about theory and skill.
[23:42] Chihaya
Theories become strategies,
and that's where players shine individually.
[23:45] Chihaya

Shut up, doofus.
Catch my pitch, doodoo-head.
[02:30] Taro
Kiyomine-kun's in a really bad mood.
[02:36] Todo
Makita struck him out.
And with a fastball to boot.
[02:39] Kei
Why are you giving me attitude?
[02:42] Haruka
I'm not. Catch my pitch properly.
[02:42] Taro/I
Uh-oh. Kiyomine-kun's
not listening to him anymore.
[02:44] Kei
I am!
[02:45] Haruka
It sounds different.
[02:46] Kei
It doesn't! It's the same!

[02:55] Taro/I
When Kaname-kun's memory returned,
no one was happier than Kiyomine-kun.
[03:00] Taro/I
So it's only natural he's the most upset.
[03:12] Taro/I
Oh, c'mon! That was an easy one!
[03:16] Taro/I

[03:19] Kei
Jeez.
[03:21] Makita
Yo.
[03:22] Makita
Kiyomine's not doing so hot, is he?
[03:25] Makita
Maybe he's still quaking
from my pitching earlier.

Who are you?

It's only the third inning,
so we still have a chance!
[04:50] Taro/I
It's no good. A pep talk from me won't do it.
[04:52] Taro/I

the mood by saying something nice.

[05:53] Tsuchiya
What? Weren't you mad
because of the error I made?
[05:56] Haruka
Nope.
[05:59] Haruka
I was mad at myself for giving up a hit.
[06:03] Kei
Haru-chan, you need to use words, or there'll
be a misunderstanding. You need to fix that.
[06:09] Kei
You don't read the room.
[06:10] Kei
Your attitude is bad.
[06:12] Kei
You get irritated all in your own head.
[06:15] Kei
But you know...
[06:16] Kei
When we played Teitoku,
we gave up a lot of runs because of me.
[06:21] Kei
You didn't say anything, but you were kind.
[06:26] Kei
You communicate a lot through your
attitude. In both good and bad ways.
[06:30] Kei
So might as well pick the good way, yeah?
[06:35] Kei
Hey, wait a second!
[06:37] Kei
I got yelled at a lot after the game!
[06:39] Kei
So you weren't kind!
[06:45] Haruka
I'm sorry for my bad attitude.
[06:47] Tsuchiya
Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry, too.
[06:50] Tsuchiya
Next time, I'll catch it for sure.
Don't worry about giving up hits.
[06:53] Haruka
'Kay.
[06:56] Taro/I
So you were worried?
[06:59] Todo
Why'd you ignore me, you jerk?
[07:04] Haruka
I didn't hear you.

Use your ears, dunce!

[07:34] Chihaya
Oh, I wouldn't put it that way.

It's personal. Nothing for you to worry about.

Just in case, I continued to eat.
[10:44] Chihaya/I
Leave no stone unturned.
Keep making an effort.
[10:47] Chihaya/I
Even if it's only a 0.01% possibility.

I batted really well because I believed in myself.
I'll do my best to get hits in the next game, too.
[10:52] Chihaya/I
A superhero everyone knows
will continue to win
[10:54] Chihaya/I
with a play style that's unquestionable,
honorable, and the strongest.
[11:00] Chihaya/I
I started playing because
I admired those players.
[11:07] Chihaya/I
Running was the only thing I excelled at.
[11:10] Chihaya/I
So I increased my knowledge base
to maximize my strength.
[11:14] (Flashback) Fujimi Senior Player
Ready?
[11:18] Chihaya/I
I outsmarted opponents...
[11:26] Chihaya/I
...and played in a way they disliked.
[11:32] (Flashback) Makita
Hey, listen. Is it really fun to
play baseball like that?
[11:43] Chihaya/I
To be honest, it was rather fun.
[11:47] Chihaya/I
It may not have been
the most righteous way to play,
[11:50] Chihaya/I
but seeing someone bigger than me
looking completely helpless felt good.

I didn't make any friends, but I didn't care.
[12:06] Chihaya/I
Despite appearances,
baseball's an individual sport.
[12:11] Chihaya/I
Batting average, steals, defensive plays...
[12:14] Chihaya/I
I was the best on the team.
[12:17] Chihaya/I
"I am good enough."
[12:18] Chihaya/I
With my skills and theories,
I could become the best—
[12:23] (Flashback) Umpire
Strike! You're out!
[12:25] Chihaya/I
For the first time ever,
[12:27] Chihaya/I
I met a superhero with an unquestionable,
honorable, and stupidly strong play style,
[12:34] Chihaya/I
brandishing skills and theories
like it was nothing.
[12:40] Chihaya/I
Even though the pitch types were simple,
the pitch mixing threw me off.
[12:46] Chihaya/I
I tried to steal, but...
[12:55] Chihaya/I
My cheeks burned,
even though my mind was blank.
[12:59] Chihaya/I
I'd become conceited.
[13:02] Chihaya/I
I'd grown arrogant. Enough to believe I was
working harder than anyone else in the world.
[13:07] Chihaya/I
So what would I do?
[13:09] Chihaya/I
The answer was simple.
[13:12] Chihaya/I
Work harder.
[13:14] Chihaya/I
My efforts had turned
a negative into a zero.
[13:18] Chihaya/I
From then on, I had to turn
that zero into a plus.
[13:23] Chihaya/I
What is this?
[13:25] Chihaya/I
It's like something's flickering in my mind.
[13:29] Chihaya/I
Like it's a bit hard to breathe.
[13:34] (Flashback) Makita
Hey, Chihaya.
[13:36] (Flashback) Makita
Hey, listen. My pitching's
getting faster and faster.
[13:39] (Flashback) Makita
I threw a 140 kph fastball the other day.
[13:42] (Flashback) Chihaya
Gosh.
[13:42] (Flashback) Makita
And I grew two centimeters.
[13:47] (Flashback) Kurita
Huh?
[13:48] (Flashback) Kurita
I thought you didn't like that phrase.
[13:51] (Flashback) Chihaya
What?
[13:53] (Flashback) Makita
I know, right?
[13:54] (Flashback) Makita
Of course you'd think "I'm jealous."
[13:57] (Flashback) Makita
I must be a prodigy, right?

"I'm jealous"?

[14:08] Chihaya/I
I hadn't even noticed.
[14:11] Chihaya/I
I stopped forcing myself to eat.
[14:14] Chihaya/I
I stopped going to baseball practice.
[14:19] (Flashback) Chihaya
This is dumb.
[14:21] (Flashback) Chihaya
It's a total waste of time.
[14:23] (Flashback) Chihaya
I've known all along.
[14:25] (Flashback) Chihaya
I'm an idiot.
[14:27] (Flashback) Chihaya
It was meaningless. All of it.
[14:32] (Flashback) Chihaya
Jeez, I came to the beach of all places?
[14:36] (Flashback) Chihaya
I'm super lame.
[14:41] (Flashback) Chihaya
I'll be free at last.
[14:45] (Flashback) Chihaya
Thanks. You're dismissed.
[14:50] Chihaya/I
Why did God have to give
humans an emotion like envy?
[14:56] (Flashback) Chihaya
Damn it! Damn it!
[14:58] (Flashback) Chihaya
Damn it all!
[15:00] Chihaya/I
I never wanted to say
"I'm jealous" to anyone again.
[15:03] Chihaya/I
I wanted to be proud of myself
in spite of my short stature.
[15:08] (Flashback) Male Student
Huh? You got eyesight problems, Chihaya?
[15:11] (Flashback) Chihaya
Nah, they're non-prescription.
I'm trying out a new look.
[15:14] (Flashback) Male Student
Oh, nice.
[15:16] (Flashback) Male Student
You quit baseball, right?
[15:17] Chihaya/I
My body, my face, my spirit...
[15:22] (Flashback) Chihaya
Right. I hate baseball.
[15:24] Chihaya/I
I hated them all.
[15:27] Chihaya/I
I turned down all attempts to scout me
because baseball's a waste of time.
[15:32] (Flashback) Chihaya
Ah, I haven't taken time out
for myself like this in a long while.
[15:36] (Flashback) Chihaya
Now I can do everything I've wanted to.
[15:40] (Flashback) Chihaya
Studying math is kind of fun.
[15:46] (Flashback) Chihaya
I see. Being fashionable
starts with your shoes.
[15:51] (Flashback) Chihaya
Maybe I'll do some tea tasting.
[15:56] (Flashback) Chihaya

[16:30] Makita

Chihaya.
[16:35] Chihaya/I
Top of the ninth.
[16:36] Chihaya/I
It's the very end of the end,
and I'm faced with a similar situation.
[16:41] Chihaya/I
Two outs, a runner on first.
[16:42] Chihaya/I
After me, it's Kaname-kun.
[16:44] Chihaya/I
I can't rely on him.
[16:47] Chihaya/I
If I don't hit more than a double, we lose.
[16:50] Chihaya/I
Makita has been pressuring me so far.
[16:52] Chihaya/I
I can't run from the wall.
[16:55] Chihaya/I
There's only one answer, then.
[16:57] Chihaya/I
To challenge him!
[16:58] Taro
Chihaya-kun did an overswing?!
[17:00] Tsuchiya
I-I didn't expect that.
[17:02] Todo
There's little hope
the dumb Kaname will do it.
[17:04] Todo
So you have to hit it, huh?
[17:07] Makita
All right.
[17:09] Makita
I'm loving this.
[17:11] Chihaya/I
I need to relax.
[17:13] Chihaya/I
I won't get anywhere swinging at balls.
[17:16] Chihaya/I
Calmly aim at the ones in the strike zone.
[17:19] Chihaya/I
Home runs and long hits are different.
[17:21] Chihaya/I
If I can get it past the outfielders,
that'll count as a long hit.
[17:25] Chihaya/I
The wall can be torn down!
[17:27] Umpire
Ball.
[17:29] Chihaya/I
In the strike zone, idiot.
[17:30] Chihaya/I
His control's as poor as his brainpower.
[17:34] Shuto
What a terrible pitch!
[17:35] Shuto
He's getting all worked up
against Mr. Four-Eyes.
[17:39] Kurita
They used to play on the same team.
[17:42] Shuto
If I were Mr. Four-Eyes, I'd make them
walk me, then let Kei Kaname handle it.
[17:46] Shuto
With his play style,
it should be a piece of cake.
[17:49] Kurita
I don't think Chihaya would do that.
[17:53] Kurita
He was the best player on our team.
[17:56] Kurita
Everyone looked up to him, but he didn't
seem to like hanging out with others.
[18:01] (Flashback) Makita
Let's have an at-bat battle.
[18:03] Kurita
It was like he kept his distance.
[18:08] Kurita
And it showed in his play, too.
[18:11] Kurita
When it mattered,
he only believed in himself.
[18:17] Chihaya/I
Damn it!
[18:19] Kei
Take it easy, Shun-chan!
I can take my turn at bat!
[18:22] Chihaya/I
He's such an amateur.
[18:24] Chihaya/I
Doesn't he know what "two outs" means?
[18:26] Kei
Wait, you're ignoring me?
[18:28] Kei
Don't do that! Hey, Shun-chan!
[18:31] Chihaya/I
Even if you take your turn at bat,
you'll be struck out.
[18:34] Chihaya/I
You've truly changed.
[18:37] Chihaya/I
"Changed"?
[18:39] Umpire
Ball.
[18:41] Makita
Full count, huh? That gets me fired up.
[18:45] Makita
I'll blow you away with everything I've got.
[18:49] Hikawa B
Makita looks like he's having fun.
[18:51] Kurita
I bet this is the baseball
he's always wanted to play with Chihaya.
[18:55] Kurita
Chihaya always ignored him,
and it pissed Makita off.
[18:58] Shuto
Well, gorillas and humans don't mix.
[19:02] Shuto
I wonder what choice Mr. Four-Eyes
will make in the box.
[19:08] Chihaya/I
It's true that Kei Kaname has changed.
[19:12] Chihaya/I
But the same goes for me, doesn't it?
[19:15] (Flashback) Chihaya
I'm jealous.
[19:17] Chihaya/I
I loathe that phrase.
[19:20] Chihaya/I
Because the unsaid part of "I'm jealous" is
"You have talent and luck that I don't."
[19:28] Chihaya/I
As if their own efforts
had nothing to do with it.
[19:32] Chihaya/I
No top-level player has ever
made it there on luck alone.
[19:37] Chihaya/I
By saying "I'm jealous,"
I belittled his efforts.
[19:43] Chihaya/I
I can't look Makita in the eye.
[19:46] Chihaya/I
Nor those two.
[19:49] Chihaya/I
I should've known better than anyone...
[19:51] Umpire
Foul.
[19:52] Chihaya/I
...what it takes to make up
for an inadequate physique.
[19:55] Chihaya/I
I'm a liar.
[19:57] Chihaya/I
Ever since that day, I've been lying,
[20:00] Chihaya/I
saying baseball's a waste of time.
[20:02] Umpire
Foul.
[20:03] Chihaya/I
But the truth is, I was just scared.
[20:05] Chihaya/I
I ran away because I was scared
that all of my efforts might not pay off.
[20:12] Chihaya/I
I hate myself for that.
[20:14] Umpire
Foul.
[20:15] Chihaya/I
I came up with a conceited excuse
and ran away. I lied to myself.
[20:18] Third Base Umpire
Foul.
[20:19] Chihaya/I
But I never found solace.
[20:22] Chihaya/I
The truth is...
[20:23] Umpire
Foul.
[20:24] Chihaya/I
...I wanted to play baseball!
[20:32] First Base Umpire
Foul.
[20:34] Shuto
Bored now.
[20:36] Hikawa B
Stop, Kirishima-san.
[20:37] Shuto
Just leave it to Kei Kaname.
Why's he holding out?
[20:41] Kurita
Our manager used to talk
about "walls" to get over.
[20:46] Kurita
Chihaya was concerned
about his physique,
[20:48] Kurita
but maybe his wall was trusting others.
[20:53] Kei
It's all right!
I know you can do it, Shun-chan!
[20:57] Chihaya/I
I want to find a version of myself
I can be proud of.
[21:01] Chihaya/I
And...
[21:09] Chihaya/I
If fate will let me, I want to win
this baseball game as a team.
[21:16] (Flashback) Kei
Wanna play together?
[21:18] Chihaya/I
I do!
[21:26] Umpire
Ball four.
[21:34] Chihaya/I
I might be able to say that now.
[21:37] Todo
Did you see that? He walked.
[21:40] Taro
He didn't swing for it?
[21:43] Kei
I have to hit it now.
[21:46] Chihaya
As you requested,
I'm giving you a turn at bat.
[21:50] Chihaya
Grab the win for us.
[21:59] Shuto
So he chose trust over pride, huh?
[23:40] Chihaya
I leave this game in your hands.
[23:42] Kei
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What do I do?!
[23:44] Taro
Just swing like always!
[23:45] Todo
Go sock it to 'em!
[23:47] Tsuchiya
G-Good luck!

[03:04] Kei/I
True.
[03:07] Kei/I
He's right.
[03:10] Kei/I
Haru-chan's pitch is definitely...
[03:14] Kei/I

[03:18] Umpire
Foul.
[03:21] Kei/I
I made... contact.

Yes.
[03:30] (Flashback) Kei
Are you really really sure?

Yes.
[03:36] Kei
I can hit it.
[03:38] Haruka
Naturally.
[03:39] Todo
Not bad.
[03:41] Todo
Well, he did work hard.
[03:44] Taro
You'll do great, Kaname-kun.
[03:46] Taro
I know you can hit it.
[03:55] Taro/I
If he can swing like he does in practice,
Kaname-kun's form will be...
[03:59] Taro/I
beautiful, just like before!
[04:08] Todo
Whoa! It's actually going!
[04:10] Taro
Right center field!
[04:11] Taro

[04:13] Taro
Kaname-kun hit the tying run!

Hell yes!
[04:48] Chihaya
Kaname-kun.
[04:50] Chihaya
Thanks to you, I reached home.

After that, Makita-kun allowed

[06:35] Makita

If I hadn't messed up in the ninth, we could
have retaken momentum at the bottom.

What score would you give yourself?
[06:57] Makita
Huh?
[06:58] Makita
I'd say... 40.
[07:01] Shuto
Nope, boring!
[07:02] Shuto
I'll give you zero.
[07:04] Shuto
You'll never be a starter like that.
[07:06] Shuto
Answer in 0.01 seconds.
[07:08] Shuto
"Mountain!" That's the right answer.
[07:10] Makita
That doesn't make any sense!
[07:11] Shuto
Doesn't it, though?
[07:13] Kurita
Makita, thank you, like for real.
[07:15] Kurita
Thanks to you, we won't be teased
to death by Kirishima-senpai...
[07:20] Hikawa B
We're lucky he forgets
everything in three minutes.
[07:24] Shuto
Kei Kaname.
[07:25] Kei
Yeah?
[07:26] Shuto
If you had come to Hikawa,
we could have been a battery.
[07:31] Shuto
Too bad.
[07:32] Kei
What? I don't want to.
[07:34] Kei
Who are you?
[07:35] Haruka
Who're you?
[07:36] Shuto
Calm down.
[07:38] Shuto
I'm Shuto Kirishima.
[07:39] Shuto
I hope you remember me.
[07:42] Shuto
I'll be pitching in the summer championship.
[07:44] Shuto
Win your way to me.
[07:46] Shuto
All right, Makita-kun.
[07:47] Shuto
Go tend the grounds.
Do it right or I'll kill you.
[07:50] Makita
Damn it!
[07:51] Makita
Just you wait until I'm in second year!
[07:53] Shuto
Then I'll be in third year.
[07:55] Shuto
Sucks to be you!
[08:06] Makita
Chihaya.
[08:10] Makita
Don't ever quit again.
[08:14] Chihaya
I know.
[08:16] Chihaya
I won't.
[08:18] Makita
Turn around and say it, idiot.
[08:31] Kei
Let's celebrate our first victory!
[08:33] Kei
Cheers!
[08:34] All
Cheers!
[08:36] Kei
Hey, did you know?
[08:38] Kei
Iced coffee cut with seltzer is really tasty.
[08:41] Kei
Try it, try it.
[08:43] Todo
That can't be true!
[08:44] Kei
I mean it.
[08:47] Taro
Oh... This is actually... not bad.
[08:51] Todo
Are you kidding me?
[08:52] Kei
You try too, Aoi-chan.
[08:57] Kei
That one has salt in it.
[08:59] Todo
Damn it, you bastard!
[09:01] Kei
Will you forgive me with this?
[09:03] Kei
Nipple hair!
[09:03] Chihaya
You're so silly.
[09:04] Todo
Stop it!
[09:04] Taro
Jeez, are you okay?
[09:06] Kei/I
I didn't know winning a game
could make me this happy!
[09:13] Chihaya
See you tomorrow.
[09:13] Todo
Yeah.
[09:14] Taro
Great work!
[09:15] Kei
Great work!
[09:24] Kei
See you, Haru-chan.
[09:25] Haruka
Yeah.
[09:34] Kei
Pow!
[09:35] Kei
Kei Kaname hits a home run!
[09:42] Kei
I'm just kidding. Maybe.
[09:46] Kei
First hit. I did it.
[09:53] Kei/I
Looking back now, on that day,
for the first time since I lost my memory...
[09:59] Kei
I think I'll have a good dream.

Taro Yamada
[10:07] (Flashback) Kei
Haruka.
[10:09] (Flashback) Kei
Did you go to bed at 10pm?
[10:11] (Flashback) Haruka
Yes.
[10:12] (Flashback) Kei
How are you feeling?
[10:13] (Flashback) Haruka
Good.
[10:14] (Flashback) Kei
Any injuries?
[10:14] (Flashback) Haruka
No.
[10:15] (Flashback) Kei
Good, well done.
[10:19] (Flashback) Kei
That's all you need to worry about.
[10:23] (Flashback) Kei
I'll make you
the number one pitcher in Japan.
[10:27] (Flashback) Haruka
Okay.
[10:34] Kei/I
On the other side of my glove...
[10:37] Kei/I
There's a monster.
[10:40] Kei/I
I trained him to be
the most formidable pitcher,
[10:45] Kei/I
and... a killer.
[10:47] Sign
If you were allowed to forget one thing, what would you choose?
[10:51] Kei/I
Every player is the king
of the hill to some extent.
[10:54] Sign
Taro Yamada
[10:56] Kei/I
Secretly thinking you're the best.
Hoping that you're the chosen one.
[10:59] Sign
Aoi Todo
[11:02] Kei/I
With Haruka's pitching and my leadership,
we guide them to one answer:
[11:05] Sign
Shunpei Chihaya
[11:09] Kei/I
"You aren't."
[11:14] Kei/I
The batter's face is
clearly visible to the catcher.
[11:19] Kei/I
It's a nasty sport, if you ask me.
[11:23] Kei/I
I can spot a quitter right away.
[11:27] Kei/I
My hunches are usually right.
[11:30] Kei/I
Well, if you're experiencing
setbacks at junior high level,
[11:34] Kei/I
you've got no future anyway.
[11:38] Kei/I
That's what I tell myself, trying to forget.
[11:42] Kei/I
But their faces are burned into my eyes
and won't let me go.
[11:49] (Flashback) Kei
I can't sleep...
[11:57] A
Now that we're in high school,
I wouldn't mind some romance.
[12:01] B
Totally!
[12:02] A
What do I do if someone tells me
they have feelings for me?
[12:04] A
Should I turn them down?
[12:06] B
You want romance, no?
[12:08] B
And why do you assume
you'll be on the receiving end?
[12:11] A
It's too embarrassing to confess
love myself. No way.
[12:14] B
I mean, I don't even have anyone I like.
[12:18] A
And I wanna make a lot of friends.
[12:21] B
You're not turning down friends?
[12:23] A
Why would I?
[12:25] B
I...
[12:26] B
Why don't we just... do normal?
[12:28] A
Normal, huh?
[12:31] A
What is normal?
[12:33] B
Like, studying normally,
playing normally, and...
[12:37] A
Stopping by the convenience store
and buying snacks and sweets?
[12:40] B
So specific all of a sudden!
[12:43] B
This is a new flavor!
[12:45] B
Spicy caviar and butter.
[12:47] A
Oh, I wanted to try it.
[12:49] Kei/I
A peaceful anime was playing, where
cute girls enjoyed their high school lives.
[12:55] Kei/I
I was awfully drawn to this series that was
about random, meandering conversations.
[13:00] B
So yummy!
[13:01] Kei/I
Snacks are full of additives,
so I hadn't had any in like two years.
[13:05] A
Excellent.
[13:08] B
Let's go to Kichijoji!
[13:10] B
Cafes! Clothes! Jewelry!
[13:14] A
Ramen. I'd like to eat ramen.
[13:17] B
Ramen?!
[13:19] B
Me, too!
[13:20] A
We are...
[13:22] B
...love and peace.
[13:24] A
Right.
[13:24] B
Right?!
[13:29] Kei/I
In that world without baseball,
no one resented anyone.
[13:33] B
Relaxing snack time!
[13:33] Kei/I
No one hated anyone,
and there was no winning or losing.
[13:35] B
Let's forget about complicated stuff!
[13:37] A
Yeah.
[13:42] Kei/I
If I were allowed to forget
one thing, I'd choose...
[13:50] Sign
Oblivion Battery
[13:55] Tsuchiya
I wish I could see Kei-sama again.
[13:57] Tsuchiya
He was so incredibly 2D.
[14:00] Kei
Huh? But I'm here?
[14:02] Tsuchiya
It's not the same.
[14:03] Kei
"Not the same"?!
[14:04] Tsuchiya
He was amazing!
[14:06] Tsuchiya
Sophisticated, oozing with confidence,
leadership incarnate!
[14:11] Taro
I totally agree!
[14:13] Taro
Kaname-kun was my idol,
so I'm glad that I got to meet him!
[14:18] Kei
Huh? But I'm here now!
[14:20] Taro
That's not what I mean.
[14:22] Kei
Then what do you mean?!
[14:24] Todo
First of all, let's talk about his skill
in grabbing that practice game.
[14:27] Chihaya
He did show great initiative.
[14:29] Suzuki
He was so awesome!
[14:32] Tsuchiya
Yup, yup!
[14:33] Tsuchiya
Kei-sama hitting the balls left and right
at the batting center was fabulous too!
[14:36] Sato
So true!
[14:38] Kei
You know, I don't remember any of that.
[14:43] Kei
But remember how I hit it...
[14:45] Kei
The game-winning RBI?
[14:48] Taro
You were great.
[14:49] Todo
Sure.
[14:50] Chihaya
You're right.
[14:51] Haruka
Yes.
[14:52] Kei
Why is that hard for you to say?!
[14:54] Todo
But you've got to wonder why the Commander
regressed to Mr. Numbskull to such a degree.
[15:02] Kei
"Mr. Numbskull"?!
[15:03] Todo
The personalities are completely opposite.
[15:06] Chihaya
Extremely stoic toward baseball
and self-disciplined.
[15:10] Tsuchiya
A true hero who's hungry for victory.
[15:13] Chihaya
And he turned into this.
[15:15] Kei
Huh?
[15:16] Todo
Zero motivation.
[15:17] Chihaya
Ultimate slacker.
[15:18] Todo
His jokes never hit the mark.
[15:20] Chihaya
He's sloppy.
[15:20] Todo
Lax.
[15:21] Haruka
Dummy. Doodoo-head.
[15:23] Kei
Hello? Excuse me?
[15:25] Haruka
Kei was a dumb child to begin with.
[15:27] Kei
Hey, you.
[15:28] Haruka
But playing baseball changed him.
[15:31] Todo
Or rather, he changed himself?
[15:34] Todo
He took control of himself
through sheer force of will?
SIGN CLASS DUTY
[15:37] Chihaya
They say being in a certain
position changes a person,
[15:40] Chihaya
but what position or situation
has such great responsibility
[15:44] Chihaya
that it would change a person so much?
[15:47] Taro
Playing baseball like that must be
painful, don't you think?
[15:51] Taro
Oh, it's just... I remembered
what Kaname-kun was like
[15:55] Taro
when we met at the entrance ceremony.
[15:56] Suzuki/Sato
Oh!
[15:58] Taro
I guess the rejection of baseball was like
recoil from his days as Commander.
[16:04] Todo
Well, we could talk
about it all day, but... look.
[16:08] Todo
The person in question
is sulking for some reason.
[16:11] Taro
He's bored since we're talking about
someone he doesn't know.
[16:15] Chihaya
It's pointless to think seriously
about Kaname-kun.
[16:19] Taro
I mean, having amnesia itself is so...
[16:23] Tsuchiya
Superlatively 2D?
[16:25] Todo
Damn right.
[16:27] Todo
He's Mr. Knucklehead to the end.
[16:30] Kei
Hey! Who's Mr. Knucklehead?!
[16:37] Kei
I'm gonna go practice.
[16:38] All
What?!
[16:39] Todo
It's lunch break now, Kaname...
[16:41] Kei
I can do what I want during a break!
[16:44] Todo
A-Are you serious?!
[16:45] Kei
Yama-chan, come on!
[16:46] Taro
Huh?! O-Okay.
[16:48] Todo
Holy shit.
[16:51] Kei
Yama-chan, one more time!
[16:52] Todo
I thought he'd cower and run away,
but he's even wearing the protector.
[16:53] Taro
Okay! Ready?
[16:57] Chihaya
Despite his complaints, he may be
feeling motivated to get better.
[17:01] Tsuchiya
Let's practice hard after school too!
[17:03] Chihaya
Yes!
[17:03] Sato/Suzuki
Yeah!
[17:04] Todo
Yup!
[17:26] Kei
That was hard.
[17:28] Kei
I'm pooped.
[17:29] Kei
Let's go home.
[17:31] Haruka
Kei.
[17:33] Kei
Yeah?
[17:34] Haruka
Play catch with me.
[17:36] Kei
Gah!
[17:37] Kei
Are you insane?!
[17:38] Kei
Look at me!
[17:39] Kei
My knees are giving out!
[17:41] Kei
I'm exhausted!
[17:45] Haruka
Then... never mind.
[17:49] Kei
Man... Fine, you win.
[17:53] Kei
Just a little bit, 'kay?
[17:55] Kei
Sorry, you guys go on ahead.
[17:58] Kei
So? Where do you wanna go?
[18:00] Haruka
A park.
[18:01] Kei
A park?!
[18:03] Kei
Is it bright enough?
[18:04] Haruka
Yeah.
[18:05] Kei
Are you sure?
[18:05] Chihaya
He does things his own way, doesn't he?
[18:06] Haruka
I am.
[18:06] Kei
Because if it's dark, I can't see very well
and it'll hurt my hand like, "Bang!"
[18:08] Todo
Yup, because he's a selfish bastard.
[18:10] Haruka
Hurt?
[18:16] Kei
Take it easy, okay?
[18:17] Kei
We'll be in trouble if I miss.
[18:19] Kei
Just a couple, and we'll go home.
[18:26] Kei
Yo!
[18:27] Kei
What's up, Haru-chan?
[18:29] Kei
Hurry up and pi—
[18:30] Haruka
Kei.
[18:32] Haruka
Did you hate it?
[18:33] Kei
Hmm? Hate what?
[18:36] Haruka
Baseball. Back when we were in Senior.
[18:39] Haruka
Did you hate playing with me?
[18:44] Kei
I don't remember.
[18:46] Kei
But now, baseball feels fun.
[18:49] Kei
Yeah, it's fun!
[18:51] Kei
That's the truth.
[18:53] Kei
Come on, pitch.
[18:55] Haruka
Okay.
[18:57] Kei
Jeez. I said easy!
[19:01] Kei
I don't remember the past,
but I'm sure I had fun.
[19:06] Kei
Because winning just once felt so good.
[19:10] Haruka
Right...
[19:11] Kei
We were the strongest battery,
and we never lost, right?
[19:15] Kei
Then of course it must have been super fun!
[19:18] Kei
I'm gonna work harder,
because I want to get better.
[19:27] Kei
Defeat Kei Kaname, the Commander!
[19:30] Kei
I will surpass myself.
[19:33] Kei
So don't look so dejected, okay?
[19:37] Haruka
Are you sure, Kei?
[19:39] Kei
Hmm? About what?
[19:41] Haruka
In Senior, you never missed your
daily 1-hour run and 500 swings.
[19:47] Haruka
You were covered in bruises
from the bad bounce practices.
[19:50] Haruka
You studied every day and showered
the manager with questions.
[19:54] Haruka
And you never ate snacks.
[19:56] Kei
Where's all this coming from?
[19:58] Haruka
Can you do that?
[20:01] Kei
I... can't be sure, but yeah, I'll try!
[20:08] Kei
I don't like losing to myself.
[20:11] Kei
But I'll be easing into it!
[20:13] Kei
I can't do everything at once!
[20:17] Haruka
Okay.
[20:19] Kei
Huh? Did you just smile?
[20:21] Haruka
I didn't.
[20:22] Kei
No way!
[20:24] Kei
Ugh, it's too dark and I can't see well!
[20:29] Kei
I'm starving.

[22:07] (Flashback) Little Haruka
What's wrong, Kei-chan?
[22:09] (Flashback) Little Kei
Shh! Quiet!
[22:11] (Flashback) Little Kei
An enemy.
[22:14] (Flashback) Little Haruka
What kind of enemy?
[22:15] (Flashback) Little Kei
What... kind?
[22:18] (Flashback) Little Kei
It's... um... something.
[22:20] (Flashback) Little Kei
Well... a bad guy. Yeah.
[22:24] (Flashback) Little Haruka
Really? Wow.
[22:26] (Flashback) Little Kei
Run!
[22:27] (Flashback) Little Haruka
Huh?
[22:31] (Flashback) Little Kei
Idiot, what are you doing?!
[22:32] (Flashback) Little Kei
You're done if you get caught!
[22:36] (Flashback) Little Kei
Follow me.
[22:37] (Flashback) Little Haruka
Okay!
[23:01] Kei
Huh?
[23:11] Kei
What was I dreaming about?
[23:13] Kei
I can't remember.
[23:15] Kei'S Mom
Kei-chan, wake up!
[23:19] Kei'S Mom
You'll be late!
[23:21] Kei
Shut up, you old hag!
[23:22] Kei
I'm up!
[23:24] Kei
I'll be there, so don't you dare come in!
[23:30] Kei/I
Later, I'll find out that no matter
how many times I forget baseball,
[23:35] Kei/I
I end up repeating the same thing.
[23:38] Kei/I
On that day, for the first time
since I lost my memory,
[23:42] Kei/I
I found baseball to be fun.
SIGN OBLIVION BATTERY
