The Fiery Cheer Battle

Now the practice game against Kamakura Academy is reaching its thrilling conclusion!

Kamakura

We're in the ninth inning with two outs, and one run can turn it all around!

After a series of disqualifications due to rule violations,

Basara's baseball team is in the middle of a losing streak now 13 games long!

If they can get this batter out, they might finally win a game!

The bleachers are packed with spectators waiting eagerly for this long hoped for victory!

Hey, everyone, there's still some salty hot pot left!

Your lunches are so good, Matsu!

It makes me happy to make you happy, Lord Inuchiyo!

Vote for me!

Let's see, what stories am I researching tomorrow?

'Tis but one man! Victory is within your grasp!

The signs have been exchanged,

and Basara Academy's ace, One-Eyed Dragon Date Masamune, gets into position!

Pitiful.

Alright, Band. We're leaving!

Not so fast.

We haven't lost our lead yet.

Aren't tight spots like this exactly when you're supposed to cheer your team on, Mori?

A feeble baseball team needs no cheering.

My music is suited only to winners.

Oh, is that right?

Then you won't mind handing over any and all cheering rights to me, Chosokabe Motochika.

You?

A barbarian who doesn't know the first thing about music?

What was that? Try saying it again-

Stop, Motochika!

Both of you, this is when we must use the power of our bonds to-

Butt out!

My precious notebook!

Hot! Hot!

I'm soaked in soup! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!

Lord Inuchiyo's face is covered in noodles! I'm soaked in soup! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!

Shut up! All of you, put a lid on it!

Look out! The One-Eyed Dragon is throwing wild pitches into the stands!

You wish to duel, Lord Masamune?!

I, Yukimura, accept your challenge with my whole heart and soul!

Ball!

Ball!

Walk!

Ball! Ball! Walk!

Ball! Ball! Walk!

Boss Masamune...

The other team is scoring. It's all my fault.

A cheer battle?

As long as our spectators are at odds, we have no chance of obtaining victory.

And so, the next time our baseball team faces another school, we will hold a cheer battle.

The winners will gain all future rights to support Basara Academy

as its official cheer squad, and the losing party will be disbanded.

Are you two up to the challenge?

Sounds fun.

I'm cool with it.

And what do you say?

I accept.

His lot is constantly parked under my music hall,

defiling my sacred performance with their offensive cacophony.

This is my chance to finally be rid of the barbarians, and I may never find another.

You won't find the slightest flaw in my conducting.

With this piece of my own composition, I will crush you to pieces!

Extra, extra! Big news!

Our very own Mori and Chosokabe will come head to head

in a cheer battle at the next baseball game!

The loser's club will be immediately disbanded!

You won't want to miss it!

Well, this looks interesting.

Brass Band vs. Yell Squad Don't miss the fight of the century!

If you ask me, I like to see people from our academy playing their hardest.

I want 'em to go for it, and I want to cheer 'em on.

But that's not how he thinks.

He's not pulling for anybody.

He only cares about giving a perfect performance.

That's what I don't like about him.

That's why we can't keep letting him get away with it!

So come on, dogs! Let's show 'em our spirit!

Captain!

Who deserves to cheer more than any man alive?

You do, Captain!

Who's gonna lead Basara Academy to victory?

Captain!

Who's gonna beat Mori?

Mo! To! Chi! Ka!

Basara! Basara!

Basara! Basara!

A pack of fools. Basara! Basara!

Basara! Basara!

Confound you, Chosokabe Motochika.

You would never understand.

Open your music! We will now play the cheer piece!

Who told you to break rank?!

Don't disrupt the piece just because we're one man short!

You're useless!

I-I'm very sorry, Lord Motonari!

I do not need others to understand my music!

Everything is moving according to plan.

That is good to hear.

Motonari and Motochika are both the leaders of their organizations.

If either of them were to step out of line, it could have a great effect on the election.

If both of them were to abandon their cheering responsibilities,

their reputations within the school would plummet.

And we can eliminate the elements of uncertainty in the polls.

Is that what you're saying?

You impress me as always.

I'm counting on you, Mitsunari.

Oedo

Oedo!

Go! Edo! Go! Edo! Go! Edo!

So cool. I am in the zone today.

Now, it's finally here! Forget about the game!

Who will win? Mori's Concert Band or Chosokabe's Yell Squad!

38,000 fans wait eagerly for the start of the epic cheer battle!

I can't wait for the cheer battle!

The concert band and the private yell squad!

Verily, power flows within me!

Let me see the cheering of your bonds!

What? You're not starting yet?

Well, the Captain's not here.

Neither is Club President Mori.

He always does a final check in the music hall, so I think he'll be here in just a few minutes.

Perfect musical composition.

The time has come.

Onward, to battle!

They're...

the former student council?

How dare you, Ishida Mitsunari! You tricked me!

And he's out!

The name One-Eyed Dragon's not outdated yet.

Get it?

The cheer battle still isn't starting.

The game will be over soon.

This is all my fault.

Again?

Is this the end for me?

To think I would be deceived by the likes of Ishida!

The gravest mistake of my life!

I figured something like this was going on.

Chosokabe?

Why are you here? To laugh at me?

I ain't got time for that.

That bastard Ishida was planning to take us both down from the start.

He actually tried to hurt my bike!

Of course, we politely asked his cronies to go back where they came from.

Get on. We might still make it.

I wanna settle this business fair and square.

I cannot ride behind you.

Is this really the time?

If we don't go now, we'll be giving Ishida exactly what he wants!

I have a plan.

What's this freaky thing you've attached to my beloved bike?

Let's go, Mori! Don't get thrown off!

We have no time to waste chatting.

It's the ninth inning, and the game is almost over!

Will we really make it through the whole game with no cheer battle to be seen?

Only one more batter, and the game is over.

Everything is going exactly as Lord Hanbei foresaw.

I knew you could do it, Lord Hanbei, Lord Hideyoshi.

Why that's...!

Sorry to keep you waiting, dogs!

Captain!

But how did they...!

Ishida!

I will not succumb to your vile schemes!

Well now.

The players are all here, so you wanna get this battle started?

I'd love nothing more.

That's the spirit.

You may tell of my music's excellence for generations to come!

Show 'em your fighting spirit, dogs!

Basara! Basara!

Basara! Basara!

You little...

Be quiet!

Look out! We have some more wild pitches into the cheering section!

Would you knock off that racket!

Lord Masamune!

Ball! Ball! Walk!

Ball! Ball! Walk!

Boss Masamune...

It happened on a beautiful spring day, at the school entrance ceremony.

School doctor, Dr. Akechi Mitsuhide.

Physical education teacher, Mr. Takeda Shingen.

Art teacher, Mr. Uesugi Kenshin.

Physics teacher, Ms. Saika Magoichi.

Just like that...

I fell in love.

Then, after a six-month hitchhiking tour...

I knew.

I knew that I...

was crazy about her.

Ms. Magoichi, want to get some tea after school?

Want to go to a movie with me this Sunday?

Come on, you can come with me, can't you, Teach?

I pursued her relentlessly. Come on, you can come with me, can't you, Teach?

But she wouldn't give me the time of day.

But she wouldn't give me the time of day. Come on, please!

Come on, please!

But I refused to give up.

And today...

Give it a rest!

I am a teacher!

I do not have personal relationships with students!

That strong will is one of the many things I love about you.

Come on, Teach!

I can't believe this weirdo had to fall for me.

Isn't there some way I can let him down gently?

Maeda.

Y-yes, ma'am!

Your date invitation. I might be willing to consider it.

Really?

But only...

If you can score 80 or higher in every subject on your upcoming midterms.

Eighty?!

In exchange, if you score less than 80 on even one test, you will stop following me around.

But that's-

Sayaka!

What's the big idea?! Suddenly I'm not allowed to ride my bike to school?!

If you have a problem, take it up with the Headmaster.

The Headmaster?

And I've told you, no running in the halls.

Can't you do something about it, Sayaka?

Here it is again. Can't you do something about it, Sayaka?

What exactly is their relationship, anyway? Can't you do something about it, Sayaka?

What exactly is their relationship, anyway? No, I cannot.

You brought it on yourself.

Alright, I'll do it!

Eighty or higher on every subject, right?

Right.

I won't let you beat me!

So, when are these midterms?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?!

Please, dearest Matsu! Help me study!

I gotta get 80 or more on every subject! I just gotta!

Maybe if you would take life seriously and stop wandering around aimlessly,

you would be ready when trouble hits.

I'm begging you, Katakura, old pal!

I'd love to help you,

but I have my hands full with Boss Masamune.

Oh, Kasuga!

English Grammar

Ieyasu!

And now you're my only hope!

Please, do not prostrate before me, Master Maeda.

The wandering free spirit wants to study.

Talk about out of character.

Heh. It's for the woman I love, you might say.

It's just, Ms. Magoichi promised me!

If I get more than 80 points on all my tests tomorrow, she'll go on a date with me!

A d-date?!

She's always given me the cold shoulder before, but now she's giving me a chance!

But is that even possible?

You sure this isn't just her way of saying "no" without saying no?

H-how shameless!

And a teacher with a student!

You had to go and say the word "date." Now his imagination's running wild.

Sasuke! We must depart!

I am utterly appalled that anyone would think to study for such impure motives!

No, my salvation!

So sorry about this! Later! Buh-bye!

In that case, I'll just have to do it myself.

No, no!

This is not my battlefield!

Dammit!

What can I do?

Special Lecture! You there, trying desperately to prepare for the upcoming test! It's too soon to give up! Raise your grade with

the power of bonds! Surefire methods for all subjects in every year

That's it!

If I can't win in a fair fight, there's only one thing to do!

All in the name of most noble love!

Now, everyone!

We'll raise our grades with the power of our bonds!

Ieyasu!

Oh, Keiji. This is a rare treat.

Are you here to join my special lecture, as well?

I would love to have you!

Nah, I'm not so good with studying in groups.

Sorry, but could you just tell me what'll probably show up on the tests?

Pretty please?

1582, the Honnoji Incident.

1587, the Cold Bath Water Incident...

Wait, what was that one again?

Ah, dammit!

Done!

And that should do it!

It's perfect!

And now...

I put this on the ceiling...

And this on the chair in front of me...

If I write on the window with this invisible ink,

I just have to breathe on it and the writing will reappear.

And now Ms. Magoichi's heart will be mine!

Maybe I should write on my hands while I'm at it.

The time has come to display the fruits of my daily study efforts in their fullest.

Sanada Yukimura. You're the one guy I have to beat.

I've left nothing to chance for my midterms of love.

Ms. Magoichi.

Call me Sayaka.

Please begin.

One-Eyed Dragon? The test has begun.

Ha! Too easy!

Ieyasu knows his stuff.

His predictions were spot on.

Aw, I don't know.

I just can't figure this one out.

Master Maeda, what is the matter?

Are you that excited to have solved a problem?

Dammit, you gave me a heart attack.

What's a poster of the Headmaster doing there?

Did I post the wrong paper?

No, that's not possible.

Where would you even buy a poster like that?

Anyway, calm down!

That's not the only place I...

No, my sweat is erasing it!

In that case...

What the hell is this?!

Maeda Keiji!!

Wh-why is this happening?

This isn't my eraser!

Someone must have switched them.

But who?

No, forget it. I need to focus on the test.

This was switched, too!

Nyah-nyah!

This one, too!

Bargain Prices

This one, too!

This one, too!

I have one last trick up my sleeve!

I'm doomed.

No, not yet!

If I give up now, Ms. Magoichi will belong to Motochika!

I think... I've seen these questions before.

Argh, I copied this one wrong again!

Eighty-one!

Eighty-three!

Eighty!

Eighty-four!

S-seventy-six?!

Basic Physics

Dammit, just four points!

Nooo, it can't be...

Sayaka! Nooo, it can't be...

Nooo, it can't be...

Thanks for working out the bike issue.

What are old friends for?

But it won't happen again.

Yeah, I know.

Sheesh, you haven't changed since we were kids.

Oh, of course! Sheesh, you haven't changed since we were kids.

Oh, of course!

It all makes so much sense now!

Hey, that hurts.

Maeda, you can do it if you put your mind to it.

Don't let me see you cheating again.

Wait, how did you know?

D-don't tell me it was you who...

Never again!

Teach! Ms. Magoichi!

Cheaters only cheat themselves.
