[05:01] Sign     I'll Make You Remember [05:01] Sign     I'll Make You Remember [05:01] Taro     I bet they went to some     prestigious school in the countryside. [05:05] Taro/I     My name is Yamada Taro.     I'm a pitiful 15-year-old boy, [05:09] Taro/I     whose baseball-loving father     gave his son a Joe Blow kind of name. [05:13] Taro/I     I was king of the castle     in a weak senior league team, [05:16] Taro/I     but playing Hoya Senior's team      was a real eye-opener for me. [05:20] Taro/I     To me, it was like I'd closed my borders     and was swinging a bamboo spear... [05:26] Taro/I     when a black ship showed up. [05:29] Taro/I     Too scary! Too fast! I can't! [05:30] Taro/I     These are the three things     athletes aren't allowed to say. [05:36] Taro/I     I quit baseball. [05:41] Taro/I     Tokyo Metropolitan Kotesashi High School.     Average for academics and sports, [05:42] Sign     Tokyo Metropolitan Kotesashi High School [05:44] Taro/I     and with no baseball team.

[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.

[09:16] Sign     Poop [09:16] Sign     Ball [09:27] (Flashback) Little Kei     Baseball's hard. I just can't. [09:30] (Flashback) Little Kei     It's not what I expected. [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. [10:26] Sign     Absolute Notebook [10:27] Sign     Absolute Notebook [10:27] Sign     Absolute Notebook [10:27] Sign     Absolute Notebook [10:27] Sign     Absolute Notebook [10:27] Sign     Absolute Notebook [10:27] (Flashback) Kei     It's all right. Don't you worry. [10:30] (Flashback) Kei     I'll input all the data. [10:33] (Flashback) Kei     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. [12:32] Sato     Hey, buddy.

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

[13:24] Kei     I'd never play baseball! [13:26] Kei     "Catcher" or whatever it is?     It can be anyone, right? [13:30] Kei     I forgot the rules and     everything else, so I can't. [13:33] Haruka     No. [13:34] Haruka     You're the only one     who can catch my pitches. [13:39] Sign     Tennis [13:42] Kei     Y-You're overestimating me! [13:44] Kei     You're still young.     You've got to broaden your horizons. [13:48] Haruka     But... [13:51] Mitarai     'Sup. [13:53] Kusuda     Working hard to get sign-ups, I see. [13:56] Kusuda     What's this? We've got some first-years? [13:59] Miratai     For real? [14:00] Taro/I     How do we already have lousy seniors     when the club was newly created? [14:05] Kusuda     You're buff. You got experience?     What's your position? [14:10] Haruka     Pitcher. [14:11] Kusuda     Ah. He's kinda... Right? [14:14] Mitarai     Yeah. [14:15] Kusuda     We got a cocky one. [14:17] Mitarai     We were about to head over to the field. [14:20] Kusuda     If you're a pitcher, come pitch for us. [14:25] Sign     Oblivion Battery [14:29] Mitarai     I heard we used to have     a baseball team until a little while back. [14:33] Kei     Yeah? [14:36] Suzuki     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?
