[00:05] (Flashback) Kei
Haruka.
[00:08] (Flashback) Kei
From here on, you're going to kill off
every single baseball player you meet.
[00:13] (Flashback) Haruka
What do you mean?
[00:15] (Flashback) Kei
Just what it sounds like.
[00:18] (Flashback) Kei
With your God-given talents,
[00:20] (Flashback) Kei
you'll blow them away...
[00:22] (Flashback) Kei
and blow them away...
[00:23] (Flashback) Kei
and blow them away some more.
[00:26] (Flashback) Kei
You'll strike them down conclusively.
[00:30] (Flashback) Kei
Don't leave even an ounce
of confidence in them.
[00:34] (Flashback) Haruka
That's all it takes for them to die?
[00:36] (Flashback) Kei
That's all it takes.
[00:40] (Flashback) Kei
Because that's what it means to win.
[00:45] (Flashback) Kei
But that's what you need to do.
[00:49] (Flashback) Kei
Haruka, you must continue to win.
[00:53] (Flashback) Kei
It's all right. Don't you worry.
[00:55] (Flashback) Kei
You'll always have me.
[00:58] (Flashback) Kei
I'll be your accomplice.

It makes no sense at all! So cool!

Who Do You Think You're Talking To?
[02:40] Sign
Who Do You Think You're Talking To?
[02:42] Kei
Isn't it?
[02:43] Tsuchiya
Sounds so dumb.
[02:45] Kei
Who does?
[02:46] Tsuchiya
So good!
[02:46] Todo
He's been doing it more 'cause Tsuchiya-san
keeps praising him. I can't take it.
[02:47] Kei
Isn't it?
[02:48] Tsuchiya
So dumb, but so cool.
[02:49] Kei
What is?
[02:50] Kei
Is it just me or is the word
"dumb" being repeated a lot?
[02:51] Chihaya
Todo-kun, go punch him in the gut.
You're good at that.
[02:54] Todo
Not happening.
[02:54] Kei
Are you calling me dumb—
[02:55] Taro
Let's start practice!
[02:58] All
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!
[03:55] Taro
I can't even imagine it at this point.
[03:58] Taro
How nice would it be
if things were that easy?
[04:01] Todo

[04:03] Chihaya

I'm pooped.
[04:17] Chihaya
You shouldn't be that tired.
[04:19] Kei
You know, despite how I may look,
I've been working really hard.
[04:22] Kei
Batting's the most fun of all, though.
[04:25] Kei
It's like, "Pow"!
[04:27] Todo
"Pow" like this?
[04:28] Kei
Ouch!
[04:29] Kei
What'd you do that for?!
[04:31] Todo
Well, I had to start somewhere, right?

I think having amnesia is kinda cool.
[04:48] Kei
So this song used to be popular, huh?
[04:50] Taro
I doubt you had time for music before.
[04:53] Todo
Then, try this.
[04:58] Todo
It's a fight song for Koshien.
[05:02] Kei
Suddenly, my chest feels tight.
[05:05] Todo
Oh? Is it working?
[05:06] Kei
I-I think that's enough.
[05:13] Kei
Hey, Shun-chan! You started this,
so why are you having fun?!
[05:18] Kei
He's listening so intently.
[05:20] Taro/I
It's annoying how absorbed he is in it.
[05:26] Todo
We didn't come here
so you could buy a CD!
[05:29] Chihaya
What can I say? It called to me.
[05:32] Todo
Like I care.
[05:33] Todo
Ah, let's just go home.
[05:35] Tsuchiya
L-Listen!
[05:39] Tsuchiya
How about trying hypnosis?

Things have suddenly
taken an interesting turn.
[05:47] Chihaya
That stuff's a bit fishy, don't you think?
[05:50] Tsuchiya
I see. So you're all on that side, huh?
[05:54] All
Huh?
[05:54] Sign
Huh?
[05:55] Tsuchiya
I get that hypnosis may sound sketchy,
[05:58] Tsuchiya
but the internet proved hypnosis was a factor
in the famous "S Ward incident," so it exists.
[06:02] Tsuchiya
I personally believe an EMP and
a magnetic field were involved, because...
[06:02] Taro/I
Yup, this is freaky.

I sense we're in for quite a sight.

This is so 2D.

[06:34] Hypnotist
Okay, take a deep breath and look at this.
[06:37] Hypnotist

[06:40] Kei
I am.
[06:41] Hypnotist
Are you feeling it?
[06:43] Kei
I'm feeling it.
[06:44] Hypnotist
Okay, you're gonna get sleepy now.
[06:46] Hypnotist
You're getting sleepy, sleepy, sleepy!
[06:50] Todo
T-Take a video. This is golden.
[06:53] Chihaya
A f-five-yen coin? Seriously?
[06:56] Taro/I
Our keystone combo's
being horrible, as per usual.
[07:00] Todo
Hey, are you okay?
[07:05] Chihaya
Oh, he's...
[07:08] Chihaya
He's asleep.
[07:09] Hypnotist
H-He fell asleep? Oh, wow.
[07:11] Taro/I
He's most surprised than anyone.
[07:13] Todo
It's working.
[07:15] Todo
He's too dumb.
[07:17] Chihaya
He's so simple.
[07:23] Haruka
I'll take him home.
[07:24] Taro/I
Like that?
[07:25] Todo
Oh, come on. We were getting to the good part.
[07:28] Chihaya
Exactly. He was hypnotized,
in a manner of speaking.
[07:33] Todo
You don't want a dumb
partner either, do you?
[07:36] Haruka
A 5k run. 500 swings.
30 minutes of weight training.
[07:41] Haruka
That's my minimum early morning routine.
[07:44] Haruka
It hasn't been every morning,
but Kei's been doing it with me recently.
[07:49] Todo
This lazyass?
[07:51] Chihaya
The guy who slacks at every chance?
[07:55] Haruka
This morning, too.
[07:57] Haruka
So he's probably asleep because he's tired.
[08:02] Taro/I
Maybe he enjoys batting now 'cause he's
seeing gains from all those practice swings?
[08:07] Todo
What the hell? That's so not like him.
[08:10] Todo
Sounds more like Kei Kaname.
[08:12] Chihaya
Well, he is Kei Kaname, for what it's worth.
[08:15] Haruka
With or without his memories, Kei is Kei.
[08:21] Todo
Whatever. He can stay dumb.
[08:26] Kei
Was I asleep?
[08:28] Kei
Where am I?
[08:30] Todo
You were hypnotized.
[08:32] Kei
For real? I'm so awesome.
[08:35] Kei
Hey, wanna come over?
Let's play video games.
[08:39] Todo
Huh? No can do.
[08:40] Todo
I gotta make dinner.
[08:43] Chihaya
I have plans as well.
[08:46] Kei
H-Haru-chan...
[08:50] Haruka
My brother's waiting.
[08:52] Taro/I
Why are you so scared? I wanna know.
[08:54] Todo
All right, then I guess that's it for today.
[08:56] Chihaya
Good work.
[08:58] Taro
See ya tomorrow.
[08:59] Tsuchiya
Bye!
[09:03] Kei
See ya!

he never wakes up on his own.

Jeez.
[09:36] Kei
Good morning, Mom.
[09:38] Kei
Thank you as always.
[09:40] Kei
I'll take these to the table.
[09:43] Kei'S Mom
Kei-chan?
[09:49] Kei
Haruka hasn't checked my message yet.
[09:52] Kei
Seriously, he's so sloppy.
[09:57] Kei'S Mom
Does this mean...
[10:00] Kei'S Mom
Is his rebellious phase over?
[10:05] Todo
Send me the hypnosis video from yesterday.
[10:07] Chihaya
Oh? I didn't do that yet?
[10:10] Todo
Nope.
[10:18] Todo
Do I see someone preparing the field?
[10:20] Chihaya
My eyes must be tired.
I can't see very well.
[10:28] Haruka
Kei, catch my pitch.
[10:33] Kei
Catch your pitch?
[10:35] Kei
Who do you think you're talking to, Haruka?
[10:43] Todo
No, no, no.
[10:43] Chihaya
No, no, no.
[10:45] Todo
What's up, Kaname?
Something wrong with your head?
[10:48] Chihaya
Is this some sort of game?
[10:51] Taro
Kaname-kun, are you feeling okay?
[10:52] Kei
Stop that, Todo.
[10:55] Todo
"Stop that, Todo"?
[10:56] Kei
Oizumi Senior's Aoi Todo.
[10:59] Kei
A top-notch shortstop
and the best hitter on the team.
[11:02] Kei
Fujimi Senior's Shunpei Chihaya.
[11:05] Kei
A second baseman who can respond
to any ball, and a fleet-footed runner.
[11:09] Kei
Akitsu Senior's Taro Yamada.
[11:11] Taro
Huh?
[11:12] Kei
A modest but reliable utility player.
[11:15] Kei
We've played before, right?
You were a good player.
[11:19] Kei
I remember.
[11:23] Haruka
Kei. Is it possible that
your memory's returned?
[11:27] Kei
Yeah. Sorry I made you worry.
[11:31] Todo
Your memory...
[11:32] Chihaya
...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...

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!

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
[23:51] Chihaya
Next time: "Can't Run From Them."
