    It's such a shame, Kiyomine-kun.
[00:15] Kokuto
    This...
[00:17] Kokuto
    This wasn't the game
    I wanted to play with you.
[00:20] Haruka
    Eiichiro Kokuto.
[00:24] Kokuto
    Remembering my name now
    just makes me feel hollow.
[00:28] Kokuto
    Even a little bit angry.
[00:31] Kokuto
    I will never see you again.
[00:34] Kokuto
    And that wasn't much of a game.
    Not even as entertainment.
[00:38] Kokuto
    It was a total waste of time.
[00:41] Kusuda
    Man, I'm pooped.
[00:41] Kokuto
    If you stay there,
    you won't get to play at a decent level.
[00:42] Mitarai
    Let's go home.
[00:46] Kokuto
    I wanted to have a serious game
    against you. And I still want that.
[00:51] Kokuto
    If I'm not overstepping, could I ask you
     to consider transferring to Teitoku?
[01:06] Kokuto
    Let's go to Koshien together.

    There's a rule that'd prevent you
    from playing in official games for a year,

    than at a public school.

[03:04] Iwasaki
    I'm sure Kaname-kun will manage to claw
    his way out of his slump if you come here.
[03:11] Chihaya
    Gosh, what will I do with
    all of these pamphlets?
[03:15] Todo
    Maybe there's bribe money in there.
[03:18] Chihaya
    They wouldn't bribe us to join.
[03:20] Sato
    What? You got asked to join them?
     Wow! That's amazing!
[03:24] Suzuki
    Isn't that amazing?
[03:25] Kusuda
    You're all dumbasses.
[03:27] Mitarai
    Don't tell me you bought it.
[03:30] Taro
    Kaname-kun?
[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.
[03:42] Todo
    Like I care. Put some ointment on it.
[03:44] Kei
    Nipple hair!
[03:46] Kei
    Well?
[03:47] Todo
    W-Well, what?
[03:49] Chihaya
    What's gotten into you?
[03:51] Kei
    I figured I need to practice
    so I don't get rusty.
[03:54] Taro/I
    Rusty?
[03:55] Kei
    Kokuto-kun's a bit of an airhead,
    so it didn't quite land, you see.
[04:01] Kei
    How do I make him laugh for real?
[04:04] Todo
    I mean, Kokuto is an airhead, but...
[04:08] Chihaya
    Best not to try.
[04:20] Kei
    We lost today because of me, right?
[04:24] Taro
    Kaname-kun.
[04:28] Kei
    I'm so—
[04:28] Todo
    Don't apologize.
[04:30] Todo
    You just want to feel better.
[04:33] Todo
    The result won't change.
[04:35] Todo
    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.
[04:49] Teitoku Players
    Let's go!
[04:54] Teitoku Players
    Stop dawdling!
[04:56] Teitoku Players
    Over here!
[04:58] Teitoku Players
    Let's go!
[05:04] Teitoku Players
    One more, please!
[05:09] Coach
    Come on, catch it!
[05:10] Teitoku Player
    Yes, sir!
[05:11] Teitoku Player
    Bring it on!
[05:13] Suzuki
    Teitoku's fielding practice is incredible.
[05:16] Sato
    What intensity.
[05:18] Mitarai
    Kinda lame how hard they're trying.
[05:20] Kusuda
    "Just having the time of our lives," huh?
[05:22] Todo
    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.
[05:36] Kei
    But I—
[05:37] Chihaya
    You assumed you'd be
    treated with kid gloves?
[05:41] Chihaya
    That it'd be all, "It wasn't your fault!"
    and "We'll just try harder next time!"?
[05:46] Chihaya
    You're so naïve, Kaname-kun.
[05:49] Kei
    Man, I'm not liking this.
[05:52] Kei
    Right, Haru-chan?
[05:54] Kei
    Hmm?
[05:56] Kei
    Hey, what is it?
[05:58] Kei
    You've been ignoring me—
[06:00] Kei
    Huh?
[06:01] Kei
    Ouch!
[06:02] Haruka
    Catch the ball, idiot.
[06:04] Taro/I
    Harsh.
[06:06] Haruka
    Doodoo-head.
[06:07] Taro/I
    Are you a child?
[06:10] Kei
    It's because you kept on
    pitching like it was nothing!
[06:14] Haruka
    I didn't.
[06:15] Kei
    You did! I'm an amateur, y'know!
[06:17] Haruka
    I don't care.
[06:18] Kei
    So cold! You're my childhood friend, right?
[06:21] Haruka
    Shut up.
[06:22] Kei
    What?!
[06:23] Kei
    Ouch.
[06:24] Todo
    Hilarious.
[06:24] Kei
    Hey, that hurts.
[06:25] Chihaya
    He's pissed.
[06:27] Kei
    Ah, I don't care anymore!
[06:29] Kei
    You're all such meanies!
[06:31] Kei
    I'm an amateur!
[06:34] Kei
    Yama-chan, let's go to an arcade!
[06:36] Taro
    Oh, u-uh, sure, I guess.
[06:38] Kei
    Man, those meanies! Jeez!
[06:39] Taro
    Wait. Hey, that hurts.
[06:41] Todo
    So?
[06:43] Todo
    What are you gonna do?
[06:44] Chihaya
    Hmm, I'm not sure.
[06:47] Chihaya
    Depends on how it goes.
[06:49] Todo
    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.
[06:55] Todo
    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
    I wonder. I get the feeling they might stay.
[07:16] Todo
    Who knows?
[07:20] Todo
    I'm hungry.
[07:22] Todo
    Ramen for the winner?
[07:23] Chihaya
    Huh?
[07:24] Todo
    A batting duel.
[07:25] Todo
    If I win, you buy me a bowl of ramen.
[07:27] Chihaya
    I'm in.
[07:29] Chihaya
    But if I win, you can treat me
    to an extra-large serving of pasta.
[07:33] Todo
    Pasta?!
[07:35] Todo
    Fancy bastard.

[07:44] Chihaya
    That's just an easy fly ball.
[07:46] Todo
    Cleanest hit, then.
[07:48] Chihaya
    How do we judge it?
[07:50] Todo
    I can do it by sight.
[07:51] Chihaya
    Yeah?
[07:52] Kei
    Whoa!
[07:53] Kei
    I can't!
[07:56] Kei
    It's too scary!
[07:58] Taro
    You keep closing your eyes.
    You've got to watch the ball!
[08:01] Taro
    I know you can catch it!
[08:03] Taro
    It's all in your head!
[08:04] Kei
    Why did I start sucking at catching?
[08:07] Kei
    I wanted to win...
[08:11] Kei
    ...and send those two to Teitoku.
[08:14] Kei
    But I failed miserably.
[08:16] Kei
    Kokuto-kun didn't get
    "Nipple hair!" at all, either.
[08:19] Taro
    Well, uh, we can't help that.
[08:22] Kei
    It's put me in a bad mood, damn it!
[08:26] Todo
    Aiming for Koshien with
    a public school baseball club?
[08:27] Taro
    You have to watch the ball!
[08:30] Todo
    That's running away from baseball.
[08:30] Kei
    I got called a doodoo-head, damn it!
[08:31] Chihaya
    I agree. A first-round win is
    probably the most we could manage.
[08:34] Kei
    Ah, scary!
[08:35] Taro
    Oh, watch out! You have to focus!
[08:35] Chihaya
    Even that's doubtful.
[08:38] Chihaya
    But if we transfer now...
[08:38] Kei
    I got called a doodoo-head, damn it!
[08:41] Taro
    I know!
[08:43] Chihaya
    we'll be running away from Haruka Kiyomine
    and Kei Kaname for a second time.
[08:50] Chihaya
    Practicing catching at a place like this?
[08:54] Taro
    Todo-kun! Chihaya-kun!
[08:56] Todo
    Doing "secret training," huh? Lame.
[08:59] Taro
    Are you okay?
[09:00] Todo
    Want me to give you some tips
    on how to catch the ball?
[09:03] Chihaya
    I'm sure Kaname-kun is a lot
    for Yamada-kun to handle alone.
[09:07] Kei
    Wha—
[09:07] Todo
    We'll share the load.
[09:09] Kei
    Huh?
[09:10] Taro
    U-Uh, what does that mean?
[09:13] Chihaya
    I'm not transferring.
[09:15] Todo
    I don't like Kokuto anyway.
[09:20] Kei
    Huh?!
[09:22] Kei
    Why? How come?
[09:24] Chihaya
    Just because.
[09:25] Kei
    But, but, but you're gonna regret it.
    There are stronger schools than ours.
[09:29] Kei
    Teitoku is, like, the best!
[09:31] Todo
    Pipe down.
[09:32] Kei
    But why?
[09:33] Taro/I
    I know I shouldn't, but...
[09:33] Todo
    There's no reason, all right?
[09:35] Kei
    But why? Why?
[09:35] Todo
    Shut up! It is what it is!
[09:36] Chihaya
    Just because.
[09:36] Taro/I
    Right now, I...
[09:38] Kei
    But I need to know! Tell me!
[09:39] Todo
    Why do I have to tell you?
[09:39] Taro/I
    I can't help but feel happy to my core.
[09:41] Kei
    Explain in a four-character idiom!
[09:42] Todo
    It's what a man's supposed to do—
[09:45] Todo
    Huh? Yama, are you crying?
[09:48] Taro
    No, I'm sorry. This isn't...
[09:50] Kei
    Ah! Aoi-chan made him cry!
[09:53] Todo
    Me? I didn't!
[09:54] Taro/I
    What a strange fate.
[09:56] Taro/I
    We've chosen to have the backs of the ones
    whose talents are what led us to quit.

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

    Go home.
[11:44] Kei
    I've noticed something.
[11:49] Kei

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

    It'll be easier than defending the infield.

    Plus, the range to cover is huge!

    in the infield is the shortstop's.

    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...
[18:58] (Flashback) Todo
    Kiyomine.
[19:00] (Flashback) Todo
    Are you going to transfer?
[19:02] (Flashback) Haruka
    I'm not.
[19:04] (Flashback) Haruka
    Wherever I play, I'll be number one.
[19:06] (Flashback) Haruka
    And win the Koshien championship.
[19:08] (Flashback) Todo
    This guy...
[19:10] (Flashback) Haruka
    Kei's my batterymate. No one else.
[19:17] Kei
    That's...
[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.
[23:50] Kei
    No!
[23:51] Sign
    I Do!
[23:51] Sign
    I Do!
[23:52] Todo
    Let's go! Next one!
