[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.

[09:31] (Flashback) Little Kei
    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.

    Be in bed by 10 o'clock,
    and don't get injured.
[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

[12:48] Sato
    What about you, guy who looks so average,
    it feels like your name should be Yamada?
[12:53] Taro/I

[12:55] Taro/I
    Not a chance, at this point.
[12:57] Taro/I

[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

[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?

[02:09] Taro
    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

[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.

[09:13] Todo
    Shut up a minute or I'll make you cry.

    I made sure I wouldn't see any baseball, 
    be it regionals or nationals. Know why?

    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

[09:58] Kei
    No, no, no, no, no, Marilyn Mon-no!

[10:02] Taro

[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...

    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'm not interested in those who lost

    Timeout! And change!
[14:35] Todo
    Huh? What the hell?
[14:37] Todo
    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.

    So, um, this is a real porno?
    It's my first time holding one.

    Nice, right? It's a different kind of

[03:25] Haruka
    My brother can cater to your tastes and such

[03:31] Todo

[03:33] Taro/I
    No, if you really think

[04:07] Kei

    Oh, come on, Kei-chan.
    Not in front of your friends.
[04:55] Kei

[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

[06:22] Taro/I
    No, it's fine. I was actually
    hoping it'd be weak.

[07:26] Kei
    Amnesia! Amnesia!
[07:27] Todo
    Maybe this'll help you remember!
[07:28] Chihaya
    Kaname-kun.
[07:30] Chihaya
    You actually do like baseball, don't you?
[07:33] Kei
    Jeez, Haru-chan, you did this, didn't you?
[07:37] Kei
    It's an invasion of privacy.
[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!
[08:36] Todo
    What?! You're the lame one!
[08:42] Haruka
    Kei. Todo. Chihaya.
[08:51] Todo
    You can't be serious.
[08:52] Todo
    What a dumb way to do this.
[08:55] Chihaya
    Opening up old wounds...
[08:57] Todo
    And, I mean, at a public school?
[08:58] Kei
    Aw, man. I just know it's gonna be hard.
[09:02] Kei
    It'll stink.

    Are you going to practice?
[10:08] Chihaya
    Well, I'm not sure.
[10:10] Chihaya
    Depends on how it goes.
[10:12] Todo
    Did you bring your glove?
[10:14] Chihaya
    Yeah, just in case.
[10:16] Chihaya
    Todo-kun, I bet you were all like,
    "Sealing it!" or whatever,
[10:20] Chihaya
    and you hid your glove away somewhere.
[10:23] Todo
    Huh? Nah, I just left it lying around.
[10:26] Todo
    I bet you're the type to place it
     under lock and key, aren't you?
[10:30] Chihaya
    No way.
[10:31] Todo
    Oh? Okay, I see how it is. Yes, I see.
[10:39] Kei
    Yup. I think Kiyomine-kun's pitching
    fabulously, so I'm gonna head home.
[10:46] Taro/I
    Hold up. Today's supposed
    to be catching practice for you.
[10:53] Haruka
    You borrowed a porno from my brother.
[10:55] Kei
    I did. It was amazing.
    But that's a different story.
[11:00] Kei
    Is it right to bribe someone like that?
     Doesn't one's willingness matter?
[11:04] Taro/I
    You took advantage, and now
    you're trying to sound reasonable?
[11:08] Kei
    Good work today.
[11:09] Kei
    I'm ready to go home now.
[11:12] Haruka
    Kei, are you sure?
[11:15] Haruka
    My brother has a new video.
[11:17] Kei
    Like I said, I'm not doing this.
[11:20] Kei
    Let's stop this already—
[11:22] Haruka
    It's the lewdest one he's ever seen.
[11:27] Kei
    May my arm tear itself off!
[11:29] Taro/I
    Shut up.
[11:30] Kei
    Aw, but man, this is hard!
[11:32] Kei
    It's super hard somehow!
[11:34] Kei
    I wanna go home!
[11:36] Haruka
    Get over it.
[11:37] Todo
    Pipe down, you wuss.
[11:40] Todo
    You might be a moron,
    but you're our only catcher.
[11:43] Todo
    Build up your stamina.
    Baseball's about tenacity and strength.
[11:47] Chihaya
    Relying on guts? How obsolete.
    Baseball's about technique and theory.
[11:52] Todo/I
    His pitches are so precise.
[11:55] Todo
    Excuse me? You got something to say to me?
[11:58] Chihaya
    Oh, no, I'm simply stating
    my personal opinion. Don't mind me.
[12:01] Todo
    Is that so?
[12:03] Chihaya
    Yes, indeed.
[12:06] Taro/I
    Our keystone combo
    is so not compatible.
[12:09] Taro/I
    But they're definitely on another level.
[12:12] Taro/I
    That efficient transition
    from catching to throwing...
[12:16] Taro/I
    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!

    Let's see...
[13:27] Sato
    It's Teitoku High School.

[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

[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

[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

[16:45] Kei
    Wow, so big.
[16:50] Teitoku H

[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

[19:24] Iwasaki

[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.

    My shoulder's starting to get warmed up.
[02:51] Taro/I
    You could at least pretend to listen to him.
[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!

[03:32] Takagi

[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...
[04:07] Todo
    ...a hunch?

    I can hit home runs, too.
[04:27] Todo
    Ah, then hush up and do so.
[04:30] Haruka
    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?

[04:49] Takagi

[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
    M-Manager?
[09:42] Iwasaki
    "Hit me with a Gretsch."
[09:44] Coach
    I actually might if you don't stop that.
[09:50] Haruka
    I hit a home run, too.
[09:52] Todo
    Mine went farther than yours.
[09:55] Haruka
    No, mine did.
[09:57] Todo
    Mine did.
[09:57] Haruka
    Mine.
[09:58] Todo
    Mine, you dunce!
[09:59] Umpire
    Three outs! Change sides!
[10:01] Sato
    I'm sorry. I couldn't see the ball at all.
[10:03] Kei

    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?

    I-I do not!

    I'm hoping I'll grow some in the future.

[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

    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.
[20:58] Taro/I
    He didn't allow a player switch, either.

[21:30] Teitoku B
    Lame.
[21:31] Teitoku C
    Kei Kaname's actually a small fry.
[21:33] Taro/I
    Our defense is mostly amateurs,
    aside from our keystone combo.
[21:38] Taro/I
    Don't look at your nails. I'll slice 'em off!
[21:41] Taro/I
    We were helpless, and they kept on...
[21:44] Taro/I
    and on...
[21:46] Taro/I

    we were certain to lose.
[22:00] Taro/I
    But still...
[22:04] Taro/I
    Losing is frustrating.
[23:40] Todo
    We were totally floored.
[23:41] Taro/I
    Refreshingly so.
[23:43] Chihaya
    We've all experienced it. But...
[23:45] Todo
    What's this? You're worried about them?
[23:47] Chihaya
    Oh no, not at all.
[23:48] Chihaya
    Actually, I'd rather they got properly 
    depressed. Not that I care either way.

    I wanted to play with you.
[00:20] Haruka

[00:24] Kokuto
    Remembering my name now

    I will never see you again.
[00:34] Kokuto

    Not even as entertainment.

    Maybe there's bribe money in there.
[03:18] Chihaya
    They wouldn't bribe us to join.

[03:32] Kei
    You know, you guys got those offers to
    transfer without me having to work hard.
[03:38] Kei
    So did I work hard for nothing?
[03:40] Kei
    And my chin's itchy.

    I figured I need to practice

[03:54] Taro/I
    Rusty?
[03:55] Kei
    Kokuto-kun's a bit of an airhead,
    so it didn't quite land, you see.

    How do I make him laugh for real?
[04:04] Todo
    I mean, Kokuto is an airhead, but...
[04:08] Chihaya

    So don't apologize. It's pointless.
[04:37] Kei
    I-I didn't mean—
[04:38] Chihaya
    I won't say it wasn't your fault.
[04:42] Chihaya
    If your catching had been better,
    we would've had more options on how to play.

    No, that's not what this is.
[05:25] Todo
    They're on a different level from
    the first-years we played earlier.
[05:28] Chihaya
    There's no way a mishmash
    of amateurs could beat them.

[06:47] Chihaya

    If the side we faced today is
    the first-year team we'd be placed in,
[06:52] Todo
    they're at a decent level.

    You'd stand a good chance of
    becoming a starter by the third year.
[06:59] Chihaya
    Oh, please. Speak for yourself.
[07:03] Chihaya
    I'm not that confident.
[07:05] Todo
    Gimme a break.
[07:07] Todo
    I wonder if they'll transfer.
    Or would they stay at that public school?
[07:12] Chihaya

    You've got to watch the ball!
[08:01] Taro

[08:30] Kei
    I got called a doodoo-head, damn it!

    I agree. A first-round win is
    probably the most we could manage.

[08:35] Taro
    Oh, watch out! You have to focus!

[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.

    Practicing catching at a place like this?
[08:54] Taro
    Todo-kun! Chihaya-kun!

    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?

    for Yamada-kun to handle alone.

    Ah, nuts to it.
    Guess being an outfielder will do.
[13:23] Taro/Todo/Chihaya
    "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?!
[13:42] Todo
    Didn't you see my majestic play?!

    You need broad scope, situational awareness,

[13:56] Todo
    A real superhero of the game. 
    That's what a shortstop is! Remember it!
[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!
[18:44] Kei
    I'm being serious here.
[18:46] Kei
    Like, real serious!
[18:48] Todo
    My bad. I know that. But...
[18:52] Chihaya
    That's 100% not happening.
[18:54] Kei
    What?
[18:55] Chihaya
    On the way back from Teitoku...

[19:17] Kei

[19:19] Kei
    That's a bit creepy, isn't it?
[19:21] Chihaya
    Aw, are you embarrassed?
[19:24] Todo
    Deeply embarrassed.
[19:26] Kei
    I'm not!
[19:27] Chihaya
    That's a rare sight.
[19:28] Todo
    You are embarrassed.
[19:29] Kei
    I've never been 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
    Catching the ball once isn't enough.
[23:49] Haruka
    Kei, another 100 pitches.

    Yama-chan. What is baseball?
[00:03] Taro
    Huh?
[00:04] Kei
    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.
[00:15] Chihaya
    I think Todo-kun's your man.
[00:18] Chihaya
    Remember his little speech
    about what a shortstop is?
[00:22] Todo
    Don't push him onto me.
[00:24] Todo
    Kiyomine, you're his batterymate,
    so you answer him.
[00:27] Todo
    What is baseball?
[00:29] Haruka
    Baseball is... a sport where I pitch,
    Kei catches it, I pitch, Kei catches it,
[00:36] Haruka
    I bat, then we win.
[00:38] Todo
    What's he talking about?
[00:39] Chihaya
    Did you forget about losing to Teitoku?
[00:42] Todo
    And we've lost him already.
[00:44] Chihaya
    How little aspiration does he have?
[00:47] Taro
    Should we hold a study group?
[00:49] Taro
    I don't know much about baseball,
    so I'd love to learn from all of you.
[00:53] Todo
    Yama, you're seriously so modest.
[00:56] Todo
    I wish certain other people 
    were more like you.
[00:58] Chihaya
    You really are.
[01:00] Chihaya
    Todo-kun simply runs around
    the field in short sleeves.
[01:04] Chihaya
    There's no need to put yourself down.
[01:05] Todo
    Why? Why are you so mean-spirited?
[01:10] Kei

[01:12] Kei
    Let's do a study group

[01:14] Todo

[01:15] Kei

[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.

    I used to imagine how they'd never really
    taste anything for the rest of their lives,
[08:44] Todo/I
    and suffer until the day they died
    'cause they couldn't enjoy anything.
[08:54] Todo/I
    I destroyed our TV.
[08:56] Todo/I
    My big sis smacked me for it.
[09:05] (Flashback) Spectators
    It's outta there!
[09:06] (Flashback) Spectators
    That was huge!
[09:08] (Flashback) Oizumi Players
    Todo!
[09:09] (Flashback) Oizumi Players
    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
    R-Really?
[09:27] (Flashback) Takasu
    I think our eyes met. Holy crap.
[09:30] (Flashback) Brown Hair
    Same here.
[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
    The prodigy, Mr. Aoi Todo,
    will lead Oizumi to victory!
[09:47] (Flashback) Brown Hair
    Here we go again.
[09:49] (Flashback) Takasu
    We're your seniors.
[09:50] (Flashback) Todo
    Sorry, sir.
[09:51] (Flashback) Brown Hair
    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
    The coaches were strict, but there was
    no hierarchy, and everyone got along.
[10:10] Todo/I
    If not for my teammates, I wouldn't
    have kept up with such a tough sport.

[10:16] (Flashback) Takasu
    Today, we're up against Hoya
    and their monstrous battery.
[10:19] (Flashback) Buzz Cut
    Rumor has it Teitoku's scout
    approached them in seventh grade.
[10:23] (Flashback) Brown Hair
    Holy hell.
[10:25] (Flashback) Todo
    It doesn't matter.
[10:26] (Flashback) Todo
    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.
[11:57] Todo/I
    Eighth graders like me
    made up that battery.

    Kiyomine must not be at his best today.
[12:41] (Flashback) Takasu
    You're a prodigy, too! You got that?
[12:43] (Flashback) Takasu
    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
    Run!
[13:12] (Flashback) Spectator
    An error!
[13:16] Todo/I
    I calmly caught an easy grounder.
[13:19] Todo/I
    Maybe it snagged in my fingers?
[13:23] Todo/I
    No, in all honesty, I don't remember a thing.

    I loved my teammates.
[13:33] Todo/I
    I wanted to play baseball
    with them some more.
[13:37] Todo/I
    I was the guilty one.
[13:39] Todo/I
    From our luck to the momentum,
    I threw it all away with my error.
[13:44] Todo/I
    I was me who brought an end
    to my seniors' summer.
[13:49] (Flashback) Todo
    I'm so sorry! We lost because of me!
[13:54] (Flashback) Takasu
    You idiot. It wasn't your fault.
[13:57] (Flashback) Brown Hair
    You're seriously stupid.
[13:59] (Flashback) Buzz Cut
    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.

     That's our Todo for you!
[14:43] (Flashback) Oizumi B
    We heard the news.
[14:44] (Flashback) Oizumi C
    It's amazing. Congrats.
[14:47] Todo/I
    My mind went blank, my heartbeat grew
    loud in my ears, and my blood ran cold.
[14:54] Todo/I
    Huh? Where did I know this sensation from?
[14:58] Todo/I
    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.
[15:31] (Flashback) Oizumi Manager
    Todo, change.
[15:33] (Flashback) Todo
    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
    Their generosity pained me.
[16:05] (Flashback) Little Sister
    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?
[16:31] (Flashback) Little Sister
    But Big Bro looks so cool
    when he's playing baseball.
[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.
[16:48] Spectator/I
    A wild throw!
[16:48] Hoya Plaer/I
    Run!
[16:49] Spectator/I
    An error!
[17:00] Todo/I
    Every night, the same error.
    I woke up in a cold sweat.
[17:03] Todo/I
    I couldn't get any sleep.
[17:07] Todo/I
    I saw no other option, so I ran and ran.
[17:11] Oizumi A/I
    Getting scouted in eighth grade.
    That's our Todo for you!
[17:15] Oizumi B/I
    We heard the news.
[17:16] Oizumi C/I
    It's amazing. Congrats.
[17:25] (Flashback) Boy
    Someone, help me!
[17:27] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Huh? That's so rude.
[17:30] (Flashback) Hair Band
    I told you money would
    solve our little problem.
[17:34] Todo/I
    I was bored out of my mind.
[17:36] (Flashback) Todo
    Yo.
[17:37] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Huh?
[17:40] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Get lost.
[17:54] Todo/I
    If it could help me forget about baseball
    even for a second, I didn't care what it was.
[17:59] (Flashback) Big Sister
    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.
[18:25] Todo/I
    I hated the idea of losing my strength.
[18:28] Delinquent A
    Come on!
[18:29] Delinquent B
    Die, you bastard!
[18:32] Delinquent C
    You son of a...
[18:35] Todo/I
    In the end, I think
    I was fighting all the time.
[18:42] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Todo-kun.
[18:44] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Let's play.
[18:46] (Flashback) Todo
    After I finish eating.
[18:47] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Oh, come on. It'll be over soon.
[18:50] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Just for a little while. Please?
[18:52] (Flashback) Todo
    You're so pushy.
[18:54] (Flashback) Hair Band
    I fell for you after you KO'd me
    with one punch, y'know.
[19:00] (Flashback) Todo
    If my noodles get soggy, you're paying.
[19:02] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Okay, okay. I'll buy you roast pork, too.
[19:08] (Flashback) Hair Band
    Today, why don't we play
    with a lot of friends for a change?
[19:13] Todo/I
    I should've had at least one bite of it.
[19:16] Todo/I
    To start with, I'll beat up the one that
    looks like the boss and take out five others.
[19:17] Boss Type
    I hear you're getting cocky these days.
[19:31] (Flashback) Todo
    Damn you!

    He's super strong!
[19:36] (Flashback) Delinquent C
    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.
[19:54] (Flashback) Delinqunt D
    Are you serious?
[19:57] (Flashback) Todo
    That hurt...
[19:59] (Flashback) Todo
    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.
[20:24] Todo/I
    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.
[23:51] Todo
    And yet...

    Nope. I just felt something was a bit off.
[02:39] Chihaya
    I didn't think it was the yips.
[02:42] Todo
    I see.
[02:44] Todo
    I'm sorry I can't help you.
[02:47] Kei
    Aoi-chan...
[02:50] Kei
    What are "yips"?
[02:53] Chihaya
    Remember how, out of the blue,
    you couldn't catch a single ball?
[02:57] Chihaya
    It's that.
[02:58] Taro/I
    Oh, right.
[02:59] Taro/I
    He means the day Kaname-kun
    got a foul tip to the mask,
[03:03] Taro/I
    and afterwards,
    couldn't catch the ball at all.
[03:06] Taro/I
    Yeah, you could call that
    a mild case of the yips.
[03:10] Taro/I
    It didn't become severe,
    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.

    Okay, let's all practice together again.
[03:50] Kei
    That'll make Aoi-chan better, too.
[03:52] Kei

    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,

[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,

    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.

    Am I funny?

    You're funny.
[05:12] Kei

    Bah! Okay, fine! I'll do it!
[05:16] Todo
    So, for now, just go home!

[05:23] Todo
    Buzz off!
[05:25] Kei

    Don't ever come back!
[05:29] Little Sister

    Yeah, they were.

    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!

    Want to try throwing from your position?

    Well, it's not impossible to catch.

    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.
[10:22] Sign

[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
    Error
[10:48] Sato
    I mean, you were scouted by Teitoku, right?
[10:50] Sign
    Teitoku
[10:50] 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!

     until you get it!

[17:26] Suzuki
    I can hit the fungoes.
[17:29] Chihaya
    Thank you very much.
[17:30] Sato
    Why don't you be the baserunner,
     Chihaya-kun? You're fast.
[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
    Okay, here we go.
[17:54] Todo
    Thank you!
[17:55] Sato
    You can do it!
[17:58] Sato
    Oops! I messed up.
[18:01] Sato
    Sorry! Lemme do it again—
[18:02] Taro/I
    He's running forward?
[18:03] Taro/I
    Chihaya-kun, too?
[18:05] Taro/I
    They're both so fast!

    O-Out.

[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,
[18:41] Todo/I
    the ball would sink and
    disappear into a bottomless pit.
[18:46] Todo/I
    There really is a path

    We couldn't get a hold of you
    after you left the team.
[21:27] Takasu
    We've all been worried about you.
[21:32] Takasu
    It was no one's fault, right?
[21:36] Takasu
    So I might get a chance to face you
     in the championship, huh?

[03:01] Todo

[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.

[04:03] 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!

    In these, baseball's always cool,

[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

[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

[11:54] Taro
    Yes?
[11:55] Suzuki

    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.

    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!

[13:57] Tsuchiya

[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

    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

[16:26] Tsuchiya
    Oh, wow. You're not the "Commander" at all.
[16:29] Taro/I
    Bull's-eye on the otaku's heart.
[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

    I was getting too caught up in practice.

    Wearing the protector in class

[21:42] Kei
    Wow, you're being awfully agreeable.
    Did something happen?

    Nice catch!

    From here on, you're going to kill off

[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.
[23:47] Todo

    With your God-given talents,

[00:49] (Flashback) Kei

[02:46] Tsuchiya

[02:46] Todo
    He's been doing it more 'cause Tsuchiya-san

[02:48] Tsuchiya
    So dumb, but so cool.

    Right.
[03:15] Tsuchiya
    Hey, what do you think would happen
    if Kaname-kun got his memory back?
[03:23] Kei
    I'd become the finest catcher
    as the uber-popular "Commander."
[03:26] Taro/I
    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!
[03:51] Kei
    Ugh! I wanna go home!

[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?
[08:07] Todo
    What the hell? That's so not like him.
[08:10] Todo
    Sounds more like Kei Kaname.

    Well, he is Kei Kaname, for what it's worth.
[08:15] Haruka
    With or without his memories, Kei is Kei.

    ...has returned?
[11:35] Todo
    Your memory...
[11:35] Chihaya
    ...has returned?!
[11:36] Taro
    Wh-What do you mean, Kaname-kun?!
[11:41] Kei
    This morning, I woke up and just suddenly...
[11:44] Kei
    It took me 30 minutes to
    figure out what was going on.
[11:47] Kei
    I go to a public school now.
     That was unexpected, to say the least.
[11:53] Kei
    But right now, the priority is baseball.
[11:55] Kei
    We're currently an unknown public school.
[11:58] Kei
    I'd be lying if I said it's a good
    environment to play baseball in.
[12:03] Kei
    But I know we can do it.
[12:05] Kei
    This team has me and Haruka.
[12:08] Kei
    And the strongest keystone combo.
[12:10] Kei
    Yamada is a dependable, talented player.
[12:13] Kei
    Our second-year seniors
    are honest and diligent.
[12:17] Kei
    It'll be a tough road, but this is
    a good team that can aim for Koshien.
[12:23] Todo
    Yama!
[12:25] Taro/I
    He knew who I was.
[12:27] Taro/I
    A total nobody like me.
    Kei Kaname the Commander knew my name.
[12:31] Chihaya
    Yamada-kun, are you crying?
[12:32] Todo
    You're happy?
[12:33] Taro/I
    I'm super happy.
[12:35] Kei
    Haruka.
[12:36] Haruka
    Yeah?
[12:37] Kei
    Hmm, it's a little tight.
[12:39] Haruka
    Oh, right. Does that mean...
[12:42] Kei
    We need to address that.
[12:43] Kei
    No throwing for a while.
[12:45] Sign
    SHOCK
[12:45] Haruka
    No throwing?!
[12:46] Haruka
    I didn't throw yesterday! So I'm okay—
[12:49] Kei
    You're not.
[12:50] Kei
    I know you'll lie if it means you can pitch.
[12:54] Kei
    Your arm is a consumable.
[12:55] Kei
    I doubt I gave you instructions on
    how many pitches you can do per day.
[12:59] Kei
    So go run. Today, you build up your fitness.
[13:02] Kei
    And not just regular running. Sprints.
[13:05] Haruka
    Um, okay.
[13:09] Todo
    "Okay"?
[13:11] Chihaya
    That Kiyomine-kun...
[13:13] Todo
    That selfish bastard...
[13:16] Chihaya
    ...has turned into a loyal dog
    in a matter of seconds?
[13:19] Todo/Chihaya
    This is Kei Kaname the Commander!
[13:23] Kei
    Our keystone combo is like an iron wall.
[13:25] Kei
    We need to work on the rest of the team.
[13:27] Kei
    Practice should focus on the
    less-experienced second-years.
[13:30] Kei
    Would that be okay?
[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

    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
    Can't Run From Them
[23:51] Sign
    Can't Run From Them

    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.

    Likewise.
[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

[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!

[14:10] Shuto
    You're totally not.
[14:13] Kurita
    Oh, Kirishima-san.
[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
    But I've got to see this rumored genius
    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
    Huh? What do you mean by
     "gorilla," Kirishima-san?
[14:38] Shuto
    Yeah, maybe it's not right.
    Gorillas are really smart.
[14:42] Makita
    But what do you mean?!
[14:44] Shuto
    That's what I mean.
[14:46] Makita
    Next year, I'm taking
    the position of ace from you.
[14:49] Makita
    You'd better be prepared.
[14:55] Shuto
    Blegh! You reek of bananas.
[14:58] Shuto
    You should wash your hands. You stink.
[15:00] Makita
    I didn't eat any!
[15:02] Shuto/I
    Well, I'll give it to you that you're trying.
[15:06] Shuto
    Best of luck after I graduate.
[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.
[15:43] Kei
    Wanna go to Kichijoji?
[15:45] Taro/I
    The answer to that is "no."
[15:46] Todo
    We're in the middle of a game!
[15:48] Kei
    Hmm? Did I say something strange?
[15:51] Taro
    Yup. Are you feeling okay?
[15:52] Kei
    I guess. Maybe I'm a little tired.
[15:55] Todo
    I think he's starting to break down.
[15:58] Taro
    He can't keep this up till the ninth.

[16:18] Todo

[16:20] Kei
    A cutter. He may use a cutter.
[16:22] Todo/I
    That's not it.
[16:24] Todo/I
    That's not the signal for a cutter!
[16:26] Taro
    Stop moving, Kaname-kun!
[16:28] Tsuchiya
    This is where it really matters!
[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
    Fiffle fair.
[16:40] Tsuchiya
    Did he just say "nipple hair"?
[16:42] Taro
    He didn't, no.
[16:43] Chihaya
    You must've imagined it.
[16:45] Todo/I
    I know it's gonna be... a cutter!
[16:53] Makita
    Damn. We're giving up hits so easily.
[17:04] Base Umpire
    Safe!
[17:09] Makita
    Ugh, there it is. His boring batting.
[17:14] Tsuchiya
    Runners on first and second. It's a chance.
[17:17] Taro/I
    Next up is the unyielding 3-hole,
[17:19] Taro/I
    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?
[18:45] Kurita
    Huh?
[18:47] Shuto
    Huh?
[18:49] Makita
    Huh?
[18:53] Taro/I
    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
    Cheese from above?
[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
    Physique can't determine everything.
[23:47] Chihaya
    That's why there's room
    for effort and dreams.

[00:17] Chihaya
    "You may evade them temporarily,
[00:20] Chihaya
    but in a week, a month, a year,
    or maybe even in ten years...
[00:31] Chihaya
    those same walls will
    block your path again."
[00:35] Chihaya

    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!
[02:48] Haruka
    It does. Catch it properly, doodoo-head.

[02:55] Taro/I

    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!

[04:45] Taro
    It's only the third inning,

[04:50] Taro/I
    It's no good. A pep talk from me won't do it.
[04:52] Taro/I
    The Commander could probably change
    the mood by saying something nice.
[04:57] Kei

[05:40] Kei
    If you work hard but mess up,

[05:43] Kei
    It just happened by chance.
[05:48] Haruka
    Error? What error?
[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.
[07:05] Todo
    Use your ears, dunce!
[07:07] Taro

[07:12] Taro/I

    Oh, nothing.
[07:31] Kei
    You've looked troubled since we arrived.
[07:34] Chihaya
    Oh, I wouldn't put it that way.
[07:36] Kei
    Did something happen with that pitcher?
[07:40] Chihaya
    It's personal. Nothing for you to worry about.
[07:53] Umpire

[07:56] Umpire
    It grazed your uniform.

[10:16] Chihaya/I
    Due to my family's genes, I knew

    play baseball like that?
[11:43] Chihaya/I
    To be honest, it was rather fun.
[11:47] Chihaya/I

[12:34] Chihaya/I
    brandishing skills and theories
    like it was nothing.
[12:40] Chihaya/I

    I tried to steal, but...
[12:55] Chihaya/I
    My cheeks burned,
    even though my mind was blank.
[12:59] Chihaya/I

[13:02] Chihaya/I

[13:07] Chihaya/I

[13:09] Chihaya/I

[13:12] Chihaya/I
    Work harder.
[13:14] Chihaya/I
    My efforts had turned
    a negative into a zero.

    in spite of my short stature.
[15:08] (Flashback) Male Student

[15:11] (Flashback) Chihaya

[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

[16:44] Chihaya/I

[17:35] Shuto
    He's getting all worked up

[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

[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

[20:12] Chihaya/I
    I hate myself for that.

[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!
[23:48] Haruka
    Kei, I know you can hit it.
[23:49] Kei
    D-D-Don't make me nervous!

[01:56] Kei/I
    We're at the top of the ninth inning,

    Shun-chan's on first,
    Suzuki-san's on second...
[02:06] Kei/I
    So, if I don't hit, we lose...

[02:14] Chihaya

[02:20] Umpire
    Ball.
[02:23] Kei/I
    So fast!
[02:24] Kei/I
    But he's, like... He's got no control, right?
[02:28] Kei/I
    If I can sit this out, I can
    get a walk like Shun-chan?
[02:33] Umpire
    Strike!
[02:34] Makita
    Yes!
[02:36] Chihaya
    If you're just waiting around,
    you'll be struck out in no time!
[02:40] Chihaya
    You've got to go for it.
[02:42] Kei
    Huh?! You could have told me that sooner!
[02:45] Todo
    You see that, Yama?
[02:46] Todo
    That's the former Commander
    who freaks out about batting.
[02:49] Taro/I

[02:54] Kei/I
    Crap. I'm seriously nervous.
[02:57] Haruka

[02:59] Haruka

[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
    ...the fastest!
[03:18] Umpire
    Foul.
[03:21] Kei/I
    I made... contact.
[03:25] (Flashback) Kei

    Yes.
[03:30] (Flashback) Kei
    Are you really really sure?
[03:33] (Flashback) Haruka
    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
    Right in the middle!
[04:13] Taro
    Kaname-kun hit the tying run!
[04:13] Sato
    Run, run!
[04:21] Makita
    What are you doing?
[04:22] Makita
    Throw the ball, quick!
[04:23] Hikawa Second
    Who's gonna cover home?!
[04:24] Makita
    I can relay it!
[04:25] Hikawa Second
    Huh?!
[04:26] Makita
    He's watching for
    an opportunity like this!
[04:29] Hikawa A
    Trying for home with that hit?
[04:31] Hikawa B
    Are you kidding me?!
[04:32] Taro
    He can make it!
[04:33] Todo
    Come on, Chihaya!
[04:37] Makita
    I'll throw him o—
[04:42] Makita
    Damn it!
[04:44] Umpire
    Safe!
[04:45] Todo
    Hell yes!
[04:48] Chihaya
    Kaname-kun.
[04:50] Chihaya
    Thanks to you, I reached home.
[04:53] Taro/I
    After that, Makita-kun allowed
    Kiyomine-kun a home run,
[04:57] Taro/I
    perhaps due to feeling discouraged.

[05:18] Chihaya

    I'm obviously complimenting you.
[05:22] Kei
    Man, Shun-chan took the good part.
[05:27] Taro
    What are you talking about?!
[05:29] Taro
    Your hit was valuable.
    It's called the game-winning RBI.
[05:33] Taro
    You're the hero of today's game!
[05:35] Todo
    Exactly.
[05:36] Taro
    Nice batting.

[06:10] Kirita
    Don't get so—
[06:11] Makita
    Don't touch me.
[06:13] Todo
    Hey, make sure it's tight right there.
[06:16] Taro
    Oh, you can pull a lot harder.
[06:16] Suzuki
    Let's be gentle...
[06:18] Todo
    Right there, underneath that.
[06:18] Taro
    There, that's good.
[06:19] Makita
    Yo, why are you tying up the Commander?
[06:20] Taro
    Just a little more—
[06:22] Taro
    Because he almost screwed u...
    I mean, he wasn't f-feeling well.
[06:26] Makita
    You get tied up when you're sick?
[06:28] Makita
    Is that a public school rule?
[06:35] Makita
    We lost.
[06:36] Makita
    If I hadn't messed up in the ninth, we could
    have retaken momentum at the bottom.
[06:41] Makita
    Hikawa would have won as usual.
[06:43] Makita
    Next time, we won't lose!
[06:46] Haruka

[06:48] Makita

[06:50] Shuto

[06:53] Shuto
    What was wrong with your pitching today?
[06:55] Shuto
    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

[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

[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.

    Are you kidding me?
[08:52] Kei

    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.

    It's a nasty sport, if you ask me.

[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...

    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

    about random, meandering conversations.
[13:00] B

    Snacks are full of additives,
    so I hadn't had any in like two years.

[13:22] B

[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.

    "Not the same"?!

    Sophisticated, oozing with confidence,
    leadership incarnate!
[14:11] Taro

[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.
[22:04] (Flashback) Little Kei
    Haru-chan.
[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
[23:48] Kei/I
    I realized that...
[23:51] Kei/I
    I can't run away anymore.
