[00:40] ---
Some tea. Here.
[00:42] ---
Oh, thanks.
[00:52] ---
It's good.
[00:56] ---
Here.
[00:57] ---
Thank you, Miss Asahina.
[01:01] ---
Haruhi created the SOS Brigade
in May. It's already June.
[01:06] ---
Meanwhile, I was involved...
[01:08] ---
...in an incident that's like
the world getting sudden calf cramps.
[01:12] ---
That aside, this episode
goes something like this.
[01:16] ---
Guys!
[01:17] ---
We're going to enter a baseball tournament!
[01:18] ---
Ninth All-City Amateur Baseball Tournament
[01:20] ---
From that day till today,
nothing out of the ordinary has happened.
[01:24] ---
We were enjoying a moment
of peace and boredom.
[01:28] ---
But it seems that was just
a fleeting moment. Why?
[01:32] ---
Because when she has that great smile...
[01:35] ---
...I somehow end up completely fatigued.
[01:47] ---
The answer is always in my heart.
[01:54] ---
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[02:01] ---
I don't know why, but I chose you.
[02:08] ---
It won't stop now. Mr. Destiny deemed it so.
[02:14] ---
I believe it's boring to just mimic.
[02:20] ---
You'll be right, so I'll do what I feel as I feel it.
[02:29] ---
It's an adventure, right, right?
[02:31] ---
In this world where truth becomes fiction.
[02:36] ---
We become stronger
because we have dreams...
[02:40] ---
...not for the sake of someone.
[02:43] ---
Please come with me.
[02:46] ---
See me and my endlessly free self.
[02:52] ---
Today's present that becomes
tomorrow's past is the miracle.
[02:58] ---
Let's grab the future.
[03:04] ---
I believe you...
[03:15] ---
What did you say?
[03:17] ---
This.
[03:21] ---
Ninth All-City Amateur Baseball Tournament...
[03:21] ---
The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya
[03:25] ---
And who'll enter this
"sandlot" baseball tournament?
[03:28] ---
Us of course!
[03:30] ---
Am I included in that "us"?
[03:32] ---
We need to find four more people.
[03:36] ---
As usual, opposing voices don't reach her ears.
[03:40] ---
Do you know baseball's rules?
[03:42] ---
Of course I know that.
[03:44] ---
I learned the basics
when I tried out for the baseball team.
[03:49] ---
It wasn't fun at all, so I went home.
[03:51] ---
If you think baseball's boring,
why enter this tournament?
[03:56] ---
It's our chance to
show the world our existence!
[03:59] ---
If we win, the SOS Brigade's name
might take on a life of its own!
[04:05] ---
It's a good opportunity!
It's a nice idea, right, Mikuru?
[04:09] ---
B-But...
[04:10] ---
See? Isn't baseball great?
[04:13] ---
Our goal is the championship!
[04:15] ---
We can't drop a single one.
Because I hate losing.
[04:22] ---
Got that?
[04:23] ---
That's nice.
[04:24] ---
Don't agree with that calm look.
[04:26] ---
Why don't you oppose her for once?
[04:29] ---
I think it's a saner activity
than walking around...
[04:32] ---
...in search of aliens and UMAs.
[04:36] ---
So when is this tournament?
[04:38] ---
This Sunday.
[04:39] ---
In two days? That's just way too sudden!
[04:42] ---
But I already applied.
[04:44] ---
Oh, don't worry. I used
"SOS Brigade" as the team name.
[04:49] ---
I made sure I didn't miss anything there.
[04:51] ---
Where do you plan
to find the other four players?
[04:55] ---
I just have to grab bored people
walking around the area.
[04:59] ---
She really means that.
[05:01] ---
All right. You stay put.
[05:04] ---
I think Taniguchi and Kunikida have time...
[05:07] ---
That'll do.
[05:08] ---
Haruhi thinks of her classmates as objects.
[05:11] ---
Let's see... Two more...
[05:14] ---
Um, if you don't mind, I have a friend...
[05:18] ---
That's fine.
[05:18] ---
Apparently, anyone's fine.
[05:20] ---
Wait... Miss Asahina's friend?
[05:23] ---
I'm a bit curious.
Friend from when and where?
[05:26] ---
It's fine. She's from this time...
[05:30] ---
She's a friend I met in class.
[05:32] ---
Then I'll ask someone who's
been curious about our activities...
[05:37] ---
I'll do something about it.
[05:39] ---
Then time for special training!
[05:42] ---
Special training? Starting now?
[05:44] ---
Yeah.
[05:45] ---
Where?
[05:46] ---
Over there!
[05:51] ---
And so we got roped into
entering a baseball tournament.
[05:55] ---
Why? The answer is simple.
[05:59] ---
It was because Haruhi was just bored.
[06:05] ---
Hey, can we borrow this area?
And baseball equipment too.
[06:09] ---
What's that?
[06:11] ---
We need rush baseball practice.
You're in the way, so leave.
[06:15] ---
Like we would.
[06:17] ---
A little bit won't hurt. Right, Mikuru?
[06:23] ---
Um...
[06:26] ---
Adolescence is easy to identify.
[06:29] ---
Now, we'll start with
catching a thousand grounders!
[06:40] ---
The future of the
SOS Brigade rides on that ball.
[06:44] ---
Grab it!
[06:45] ---
This is the first time I've heard
our futures were on a small ball...
[06:58] ---
One more! Mikuru, here it comes!
[07:05] ---
That hurts...
[07:11] ---
Are you all right? Can you stand?
[07:15] ---
Kyon, no. If you're friendly
with me, it will happen again...
[07:21] ---
Damn it, Kyon, Mikuru!
Get back to position!
[07:24] ---
She's out with an injury!
[07:26] ---
That's enough. Next.
[07:28] ---
The baseball team.
[07:30] ---
Why us?
[07:37] ---
All right! That's it for today!
[07:42] ---
What a surprise. She really did
hit a thousand exactly.
[07:46] ---
I'm more surprised that you counted them.
[07:50] ---
Hey, Nagato...
[07:51] ---
Can you make it rain
the day of the tournament?
[07:55] ---
Strong enough to cancel it?
[07:57] ---
It's not impossible, but I would not advise it.
[08:01] ---
Why?
[08:01] ---
Alteration of regional climate...
[08:04] ---
...could leave an aftereffect
on the planet's ecosystem.
[08:07] ---
In how many years?
[08:09] ---
Several hundred to
ten thousand years from now.
[08:13] ---
Then best we not do so.
[08:16] ---
Right.
[08:22] ---
And so, the tournament day arrived.
[08:25] ---
It didn't have to...
[08:30] ---
So you're Kyon?
I hear a lot about you from Mikuru.
[08:35] ---
I see...
[08:36] ---
This is my friend, Miss Tsuruya.
[08:39] ---
I'm Taniguchi! Nice to meet you.
[08:42] ---
I'm Kunikida.
[08:43] ---
Well, I couldn't say no
to my good friend Kyon.
[08:47] ---
Oh, brother...
[08:47] ---
Taniguchi and Kunikida... I'll remember that.
[08:49] ---
Kyon.
[08:51] ---
Come over here.
[08:54] ---
What are you thinking?
[08:55] ---
Making someone like her play baseball?
[08:59] ---
"Like her" is kind of rude.
That's my little sister.
[09:02] ---
She introduced herself
as a ten-year-old fifth grader.
[09:06] ---
She's so honest that it's hard
to believe she's your sister.
[09:10] ---
But we're in a general baseball
tournament, not little league.
[09:15] ---
I know, Haruhi.
[09:17] ---
That's why I brought my sister.
[09:20] ---
There's nothing clinching this,
but Haruhi's doing this.
[09:23] ---
If we're champions by mistake,
it'll definitely be problematic.
[09:27] ---
With a fifth grader in the ranks,
it'd be insane for us to win.
[09:33] ---
Fine.
[09:34] ---
It's a perfect handicap.
A decisive win would be bad.
[09:38] ---
She's serious about winning.
[09:44] ---
By the way, what about choosing
batting order and field positions?
[09:48] ---
I thought it out already.
[09:51] ---
Deciding this way is fine, right?
[09:53] ---
One for batting order, one for position.
[09:55] ---
And I'm the pitcher and first batter.
[09:59] ---
All you decided was how to figure it out?
[10:01] ---
What, got a problem? It's a democratic method.
[10:05] ---
In ancient Greece, they chose officials by lot.
[10:08] ---
Don't compare ancient Greek elections
to this in modern Japan.
[10:13] ---
And only you get what you want.
How's that democratic?
[10:21] ---
I hear we face a college team,
the Kamigahara Pirates, first.
[10:26] ---
They're the tournament's favored team.
[10:28] ---
Games with ten-run leads are called.
[10:31] ---
So it's not too early
to start packing up to go home now.
[10:37] ---
Play ball!
[10:53] ---
That pitch wasn't impressive.
[10:55] ---
Follow in my footsteps!
[11:00] ---
I hope to do...
[11:02] ---
Strike!
[11:04] ---
What kind of pitch is that?
[11:06] ---
If he hits her, it's an
instant fight! A party of a fight!
[11:11] ---
Strike!
[11:12] ---
Mikuru!
[11:13] ---
Like this! You swing it with a bang!
[11:16] ---
Strikeout!
[11:18] ---
Hey, why didn't you swing the bat?
[11:21] ---
Strike!
[11:22] ---
Strike!
[11:23] ---
Strikeout!
[11:25] ---
Yuki! You won't
hit the ball if you don't swing!
[11:29] ---
Kyon, you'd better hit the ball!
You're batting fourth!
[11:32] ---
What do you expect from
a fourth batter chosen by number?
[11:37] ---
Strike!
[11:38] ---
Haruhi hit this to the outfield?
[11:41] ---
Strike!
[11:50] ---
Strikeout!
[11:52] ---
What are you doing, idiot?
[11:53] ---
Much regret.
[11:57] ---
Let's get our guard up!
[11:58] ---
Yeah!
[12:03] ---
Play!
[12:06] ---
Strike!
[12:10] ---
Strike!
[12:12] ---
Strikeout!
[12:14] ---
Nice pitching!
[12:15] ---
Easy! So easy!
[12:23] ---
Foul ball!
[12:39] ---
She throws balls straight into the strike zone...
[12:41] ---
All right, all right!
[12:42] ---
...so they'll hit them once they find out.
[12:45] ---
And our defense is as torn up
as an anthill in a savanna...
[12:49] ---
...a complete sieve!
[12:51] ---
Nice catch!
[12:51] ---
The fact only two runs were scored...
[12:54] ---
...must mean the other team's
goddess of victory is late.
[12:57] ---
I'm impressed!
[12:57] ---
I'm sure everyone wants to relax on Sunday.
[12:59] ---
SOS Brigade
[12:59] ---
Kamigahara Pirates
[13:00] ---
Strikeout!
[13:00] ---
The top of the second inning went by quickly.
[13:04] ---
And in the bottom,
we easily allowed extra runs.
[13:07] ---
It seems we can end this next inning.
[13:12] ---
Out!
[13:13] ---
It's rather tough...
[13:15] ---
It's all I can do just to hit it with the bat.
[13:19] ---
Looks like I need it after all.
[13:22] ---
Hey, time out!
[13:26] ---
H-Hold on...
[13:28] ---
Miss Suzumiya, d-don't!
[13:30] ---
Come on, get out of that and change already!
[13:36] ---
You look good...
Mikuru, can I take pictures?
[13:40] ---
I wonder if a ponytail would be better...
[13:47] ---
Now, cheer.
[13:48] ---
Um, how should I?
[13:50] ---
Like this!
[13:52] ---
Now, say it with a loud voice!
[13:54] ---
E-Everyone, please hit the ball!
I beg you to do your best!
[14:00] ---
Yeah! Leave it to me!
[14:02] ---
Strikeout!
[14:03] ---
I can't hit it.
[14:05] ---
It's all right. I wasn't counting on you.
[14:22] ---
Safe!
[14:23] ---
Mikuru, make sure to hit the ball this time!
[14:25] ---
Mikuru! Go for it!
[14:26] ---
Miss Asahina!
[14:31] ---
Strike!
[14:32] ---
Mikuru! Like this!
[14:35] ---
What's she doing?
[14:37] ---
Is she lowering the opposing
pitcher's magic points?
[14:40] ---
It seems like she's giving a blocking sign.
[14:43] ---
We made signs?
[14:45] ---
No, but she's most likely
signaling for a squeeze.
[14:51] ---
A three-bunt-squeeze sign with two outs?
[14:54] ---
Even senile directors
would make better calls than that.
[14:58] ---
In other words, since the chance
she'll hit the ball is nearly zero...
[15:03] ---
...if we catch the opposing team
off guard with a crazy squeeze...
[15:07] ---
...an infielder might
cause an error to happen...
[15:10] ---
...and perhaps the thought is
Miss Asahina can somehow bunt.
[15:17] ---
But they totally know.
[15:20] ---
Strike!
[15:22] ---
Strikeout!
[15:23] ---
Mikuru, come over here and grit your teeth!
[15:27] ---
Punishment.
[15:28] ---
Let everyone see this interesting face.
[15:31] ---
Please stop...
[15:33] ---
Are you an idiot?
[15:35] ---
It's your fault for giving that vague sign.
[15:38] ---
Why didn't you try stealing home?
[15:50] ---
Things aren't looking good.
[15:52] ---
I don't wanna know, but go.
[15:54] ---
An enclosed space larger
than any other is forming.
[15:58] ---
It seems to be spreading at an alarming rate.
[16:02] ---
It'll keep growing unless
Miss Suzumiya's mood improves...
[16:05] ---
...and you-know-what will keep destroying.
[16:08] ---
Because we're losing? What nonsense.
[16:13] ---
You talk as if you're uninvolved,
but you're greatly involved in this.
[16:18] ---
Because of how we decided
the batting order by picking numbers.
[16:22] ---
As a result, you ended up fourth.
[16:25] ---
I'm not pleased.
[16:26] ---
You're the fourth batter because
Miss Suzumiya wished it so.
[16:30] ---
It's no coincidence.
[16:32] ---
And since you're not performing
like one, she feels despair.
[16:37] ---
Well, sorry.
[16:38] ---
In any case, let's do our best so
they don't call the game this inning.
[16:43] ---
If it ends here, it's the equivalent of
[16:46] ---
this world ending.
[16:48] ---
Hey, we're starting now!
[16:49] ---
We must limit this inning
to two runs no matter what.
[16:57] ---
Two outs, men on first and second.
[17:00] ---
SOS Brigade
[17:00] ---
Kamigahara Pirates
[17:00] ---
It's zero to nine now.
[17:02] ---
One more run and the game's called.
[17:07] ---
It's coming this way!
[17:10] ---
Make it in time! Make it in time!
[17:13] ---
Amazing!
[17:15] ---
Nice play! You're pretty good!
[17:16] ---
That's my pal!
[17:23] ---
Continuing our chat...
[17:25] ---
Too close. What?
[17:27] ---
When you went to that
other world with Miss Suzumiya...
[17:30] ---
...how'd you return?
[17:32] ---
Don't make me remember.
[17:34] ---
If you use that trick,
perhaps things will go well again.
[17:38] ---
I decline.
[17:39] ---
I thought you'd say that.
[17:41] ---
Then let's win this game instead.
[17:44] ---
Our pros and cons probably match hers.
[17:51] ---
Miss Nagato is finally...
[17:53] ---
Something wrong with her?
[17:55] ---
She's casting a spell.
[17:57] ---
A spell? What's that?
[18:00] ---
Let's see... Classified information.
[18:04] ---
A spell, huh...
[18:18] ---
Amazing! Where'd you hide
such great powers?
[18:22] ---
I changed its elemental boost information.
[18:25] ---
What's that?
[18:26] ---
Homing mode.
[18:29] ---
It's flying really far!
[18:31] ---
I see. Homing mode, huh...
[18:33] ---
Jeez, there's a limit to
how random things can get...
[18:44] ---
Things are gonna get bad
at this rate. In all sorts of ways.
[18:50] ---
That's enough.
[18:52] ---
I see.
[18:54] ---
Strike!
[18:56] ---
I had forgotten, but the first round
has a 90-minute time limit.
[19:01] ---
There's no next inning.
[19:02] ---
If we can hold them off, we win.
[19:05] ---
Is it okay to win?
[19:07] ---
It's necessary.
[19:10] ---
Thanks to this...
[19:11] ---
...the widening of the
enclosed space has been halted.
[19:15] ---
But if they rally, the game ends.
[19:18] ---
If so, it's useless to think about
how Haruhi's mood will be.
[19:22] ---
I have a plan.
[19:25] ---
You're serious?
[19:26] ---
Dead serious.
[19:28] ---
That's the only way we have left
of keeping the runs down.
[19:33] ---
Oh, brother...
[19:38] ---
Ball.
[19:39] ---
Hey, do it for real!
[19:41] ---
We swapped too, so if we lose,
you're treating everyone!
[19:44] ---
I know.
[19:46] ---
After all, the fate of the entire world
is resting on my pitching.
[19:50] ---
This world's gotten to be a cheap place.
[19:57] ---
Strike!
[19:57] ---
With this "mysterious ball" (I named it)...
[20:00] ---
...it looks like the world will be
spared from certain destruction.
[20:05] ---
S-Strike two!
[20:07] ---
Strikeout!
[20:09] ---
The next batter struck out in three pitches...
[20:11] ---
Strikeout!
[20:13] ---
...and the last batter now has two strikes.
[20:15] ---
Strike two!
[20:16] ---
Kyon, decide this with the next pitch!
[20:19] ---
This would decide things anyway.
[20:21] ---
Sorry, Kamigahara Pirates.
[20:26] ---
Lucky!
[20:27] ---
It's an error, Nagato!
Pick up the ball and throw it!
[20:33] ---
Hurry!
[20:39] ---
Second!
[20:39] ---
Over here!
[20:41] ---
Huh?
[20:45] ---
I'm terribly sorry.
[20:46] ---
We have slightly less
common sense than normal.
[20:50] ---
G-Game set!
[20:53] ---
Thanks to Nagato's magical cheating,
we were able to win...
[20:57] ---
What should we do for the second round?
[21:00] ---
I'd pity the Pirates if we
went to the second round like this.
[21:03] ---
Besides...
[21:05] ---
Actually, I need to go help
my comrades out soon.
[21:09] ---
We'll be short a member...
[21:11] ---
Let's forfeit.
[21:12] ---
That sounds good.
[21:14] ---
It seems it's a bad thing
to keep Miss Suzumiya bored.
[21:18] ---
This leaves us with something
to ponder for the future.
[21:21] ---
You've had enough fun, right?
[21:23] ---
Koizumi has a sudden errand...
[21:26] ---
...and my legs and arms
are tattered and torn.
[21:35] ---
If you're fine with it, then sure.
[21:38] ---
I'm hungry anyway, so let's go eat lunch.
[21:41] ---
Sure, sure.
[21:43] ---
Thank you...
[21:45] ---
Not at all...
[21:46] ---
Well, see you.
[21:48] ---
Oh, you know...
[21:49] ---
That bat...
[21:54] ---
You're Yuki Nagato?
[21:54] ---
I didn't realize I had
[21:56] ---
I heard a lot about you.
[21:56] ---
a knack for baseball myself.
[21:58] ---
All of you, eat up! This is Kyon's treat!
[22:02] ---
Oh, well...
[22:03] ---
I ended up with unexpected income anyway.
[22:06] ---
I wish the best for the Kamigahara Pirates.
[22:20] ---
Sorry I'm late!
[22:23] ---
Hey, which one's better?
[22:24] ---
Soccer Tournament
[22:24] ---
American Football Tournament
[22:25] ---
Soccer and football...
How many people do we need?
[22:29] ---
Is what we had enough?
[22:31] ---
As I watch Haruhi's perfect smile...
[22:34] ---
...I was thinking about
which sport required fewer people.
[22:38] ---
Football... No, keep it
at gateball [Japanese croquet]!
[22:49] ---
If we figured out the globe
like we would a riddle...
[22:55] ---
...we could all go anywhere together.
[22:58] ---
To the end of time, BOOOON!
[23:01] ---
This feeling that is a warp and a loop.
[23:05] ---
With an imagination that engulfs
anything and everything, let's play.
[23:11] ---
Something on one sunny day,
more fun than any magic possible...
[23:16] ---
...endlessly pours down. It's not impossible.
[23:22] ---
When we meet again tomorrow,
we're all humming as we smile.
[23:28] ---
Let's gather happiness. Such a thing is so easy.
[23:33] ---
Chase after me. Try to catch it.
[23:38] ---
A big dream... You like dreams, right?
