1
00:00:00,970 --> 00:00:01,880
I...

2
00:00:02,060 --> 00:00:03,730
I completely lost.

3
00:00:04,490 --> 00:00:07,480
That was my best pitch
with everything I had.

4
00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:11,990
So that's what a battle of power is.

5
00:00:12,580 --> 00:00:13,850
So this is

6
00:00:14,550 --> 00:00:16,950
a top-ranked high school baseball.

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,780
Awesome.

8
00:00:24,950 --> 00:00:26,960
I want to pitch more.

9
00:00:28,010 --> 00:00:29,740
Way more.

10
00:00:30,490 --> 00:00:31,600
All right!

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,220
Let's switch gears and do this again!

12
00:00:33,570 --> 00:00:36,220
He's not fazed at all!

13
00:00:37,740 --> 00:00:41,220
So you're even more excited
after getting utterly defeated?

14
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:46,020
It's like you're a baby
who's just learned baseball.

15
00:02:19,950 --> 00:02:24,430
The Two Batteries

16
00:02:22,180 --> 00:02:24,910
Gotta say, the Seido batters are amazing.

17
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:28,290
2nd-3rd Year

18
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:28,290
1st Year

19
00:02:25,590 --> 00:02:28,290
In the end, the upperclassmen dominated.

20
00:02:28,580 --> 00:02:32,050
But that Furuya kid was something.

21
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:34,800
He left a big impression,
despite only throwing once.

22
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,050
We're really lacking a good pitcher,
so he might even become the savior of Seido.

23
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:41,550
It'd be a problem if he doesn't.

24
00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:46,310
Also, was it Sawamura
who showed up at the end?

25
00:02:46,610 --> 00:02:50,310
He gave up two runs,
but he pitched until the end.

26
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,080
You can't hate a pitcher who never gives up.

27
00:02:56,190 --> 00:02:59,700
Seido Spirit Dorm

28
00:02:57,230 --> 00:02:59,700
What? Really, Masuko?

29
00:03:00,410 --> 00:03:02,260
For tomorrow's game, too?

30
00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:05,330
Yeah, I'm back on the active roster.

31
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:09,350
I bet it was the home run
that convinced the coach.

32
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:10,300
I guess.

33
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:12,330
Though I barely won that fight.

34
00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:16,340
I guess Sawamura's not ready
to play with the big boys yet.

35
00:03:17,260 --> 00:03:20,340
I bet he's crying in the room, too!

36
00:03:23,850 --> 00:03:25,850
Hey, welcome back.

37
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:29,850
Or doing just fine?

38
00:03:29,850 --> 00:03:30,850
You punk.

39
00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:33,350
Drop Kick

40
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:34,740
You serious?

41
00:03:34,630 --> 00:03:35,360
Sleeper Choke

42
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:36,530
Masuko hit a home run off of you!

43
00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:39,360
You're still a rookie,
so you should be more upset!

44
00:03:36,580 --> 00:03:37,360
Cobra Twist

45
00:03:38,580 --> 00:03:39,360
Figure-four Leg Lock

46
00:03:41,530 --> 00:03:43,110
My pudding...

47
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:44,620
You've got mail!

48
00:03:44,860 --> 00:03:45,620
Oh?

49
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,620
Aren't you popular?

50
00:03:47,180 --> 00:03:48,370
Who's it from?

51
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,610
Wait! That's an important email
message from my friends back home.

52
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,210
Oh, your friends?

53
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:55,380
My pudding...

54
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:59,050
"How was today?

55
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,980
Did you pitch well?

56
00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:04,120
We're all training hard, too.

57
00:04:05,130 --> 00:04:07,750
It's an impossible goal for us,

58
00:04:07,910 --> 00:04:12,630
but we all can't wait to see
you pitching in the nationals.

59
00:04:13,700 --> 00:04:16,650
We're all rooting for you from far away.

60
00:04:17,780 --> 00:04:19,530
You can do it, Eijun!"

61
00:04:20,530 --> 00:04:22,030
Wakana.

62
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,850
Say, what?

63
00:04:23,850 --> 00:04:26,440
Friends? You mean a girl?

64
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Is that your girlfriend, huh?

65
00:04:29,980 --> 00:04:31,390
N-No!

66
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:33,540
She's just a childhood friend!

67
00:04:33,540 --> 00:04:36,790
Don't get cocky just 'cause you
got to pitch for a couple of innings!

68
00:04:37,070 --> 00:04:41,130
You're nowhere near good
enough to play in the first-string!

69
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:46,300
I already know that
without hearing it from you.

70
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,810
Doing errands for your older roommates?

71
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,440
Two hits and a fine play.

72
00:05:00,060 --> 00:05:02,440
You made quite an impression, Haruichi.

73
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:06,450
No, I was just lucky.

74
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,880
I never expected that you'd
really come to the same school.

75
00:05:12,460 --> 00:05:16,460
You've always followed me everywhere I go.

76
00:05:16,980 --> 00:05:20,670
But if you're just going to copy me forever,

77
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,500
you won't be able to surpass me.

78
00:05:25,770 --> 00:05:28,220
This place isn't as easy...

79
00:05:28,930 --> 00:05:31,220
as you think.

80
00:05:34,990 --> 00:05:36,210
Brother...

81
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:42,090
Where's Miyuki?

82
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:42,980
I don't know.

83
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:45,320
I haven't seen him since dinner.

84
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:48,990
I told him we were going
to watch Inajitsu's game DVD.

85
00:05:49,650 --> 00:05:51,490
Where did he go?

86
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:53,870
Geez.

87
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:56,870
Learn today

88
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:56,870
Devote every moment

89
00:05:54,710 --> 00:05:56,870
Do I really need to catch your pitch now?

90
00:05:57,510 --> 00:06:00,460
You've been promoted
to the first-string already.

91
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:02,880
You're gonna form a battery
with me in the near future.

92
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,450
Or could it be...

93
00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:08,760
Did you feel something
watching Sawamura pitch,

94
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:10,760
monster rookie?

95
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,760
I...

96
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,120
came to Seido to find
the place where I belong.

97
00:06:29,770 --> 00:06:31,570
Please don't disappoint me...

98
00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:33,580
Miyuki-senpai.

99
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:38,100
Very funny!

100
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:39,830
I like you!

101
00:06:41,050 --> 00:06:45,080
I only threw three innings,
but I'm sore all over.

102
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,840
To be honest, I was a hair
away from being overwhelmed.

103
00:06:50,790 --> 00:06:54,850
But today, I realized one
thing standing on the mound.

104
00:06:55,550 --> 00:07:00,350
It's the most exciting place
in all of baseball.

105
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,110
I'm not giving up the mound to anyone.

106
00:07:10,450 --> 00:07:12,710
The next time I stand on the mound,

107
00:07:13,060 --> 00:07:15,710
I'm not giving up a single hit.

108
00:07:16,210 --> 00:07:17,510
You've got mail.

109
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,250
Shut up!

110
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,140
Sharpshooter

111
00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:21,120
That's not what we're talking about!

112
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:24,130
Show me a picture of Wakana! Now!

113
00:07:21,690 --> 00:07:24,150
Sleeper Choke

114
00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:25,650
Seido Spirit Dorm

115
00:07:24,530 --> 00:07:27,200
My pudding!

116
00:07:30,390 --> 00:07:34,340
Ninety-three members,
including the new first-years.

117
00:07:35,170 --> 00:07:38,350
What a splendid sight.

118
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:44,010
Does it seem like you'll make it
to the nationals this year, Coach?

119
00:07:44,010 --> 00:07:47,860
We haven't gotten very
close in the past five years.

120
00:07:48,230 --> 00:07:52,890
It's about time everyone in Japan
hears about our school again.

121
00:07:53,730 --> 00:07:55,120
Please rest assured.

122
00:07:55,860 --> 00:08:00,280
Our goal is always to be
the national champion.

123
00:08:04,020 --> 00:08:04,750
Hey!

124
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:14,760
We have an impenetrable keystone combo.

125
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,640
A shortstop and lead-off hitter,
Yoichi Kuramochi.

126
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,190
Batting second is second baseman,
Ryosuke Kominata.

127
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:25,770
Die!

128
00:08:26,830 --> 00:08:29,140
Batting third is our loud center fielder,

129
00:08:29,140 --> 00:08:31,280
Jun Hisashiki throws hard and hits hard.

130
00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:36,910
An irreplaceable clean-up hitter
with a keen eye for chance,

131
00:08:36,910 --> 00:08:38,780
first baseman and captain of the team,

132
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:41,290
Tetsuya Yuki.

133
00:08:43,450 --> 00:08:45,440
The wind is blowing from east to west.

134
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:47,040
How is that relevant?

135
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:54,070
A super heavyweight third baseman
who just rejoined the first-string,

136
00:08:54,070 --> 00:08:56,050
batting fifth, Tohru Masuko.

137
00:08:57,890 --> 00:09:01,310
And our key player supporting the team,

138
00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:05,310
catcher and batting sixth, Kazuya Miyuki.

139
00:09:05,810 --> 00:09:09,450
They are all top-notch
players in the nation.

140
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:12,850
That sounds very reliable.

141
00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:16,070
Then... we're just missing a pitcher?

142
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:21,210
It'll all depend on how much Tanba-kun

143
00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:24,790
can recover by being back in the first-string.

144
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,650
Forgive me if I'm being rude,

145
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:33,170
but aren't you a little too fixated
on training an ace, Coach Kataoka?

146
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:37,430
In this day and age, you could just
cycle through different types of pitchers.

147
00:09:38,590 --> 00:09:42,810
I'm not speaking solely for myself, you see.

148
00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:48,310
There are many noisy outsiders
around our prestigious school,

149
00:09:48,730 --> 00:09:52,980
and a few of them
are questioning your abilities.

150
00:09:58,230 --> 00:10:00,320
Well, please don't take it to heart.

151
00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:05,270
You were a foot away from
the national title as a player,

152
00:10:05,270 --> 00:10:09,210
and rejected offers from professional
contracts to be a teacher.

153
00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:14,480
Everyone knows how devoted you are.

154
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:20,130
I simply want to repay
my debt to high school baseball

155
00:10:20,130 --> 00:10:22,350
that raised me.

156
00:10:22,570 --> 00:10:26,340
I am always ready to take
responsibility for anything.

157
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:28,450
So please

158
00:10:28,450 --> 00:10:31,860
never give me suggestions
about my methods.

159
00:10:32,170 --> 00:10:33,290
Excuse me.

160
00:10:35,650 --> 00:10:36,990
I'm terrified.

161
00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:40,480
Does he even understand?

162
00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:43,300
If he can't produce results this year,

163
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:46,500
his job will be on the line.

164
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,170
How was it?

165
00:10:51,170 --> 00:10:54,880
The first-years took a huge loss,

166
00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:57,880
bu some good came of it, correct?

167
00:10:58,630 --> 00:11:03,390
That small second baseman is
the brother of Kominato in the third-year.

168
00:11:03,820 --> 00:11:06,640
No wonder his plays reminded me of him.

169
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,640
And Satoru Furuya, who left everyone
speechless with one pitch.

170
00:11:11,530 --> 00:11:13,210
About that.

171
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,650
If we win tomorrow, I'll make
him debut in the Kanto tournament.

172
00:11:19,230 --> 00:11:21,930
But he's only a first-year.

173
00:11:22,170 --> 00:11:27,120
His pitch is so powerful
that it looks like it rises.

174
00:11:28,690 --> 00:11:32,620
There aren't very many batters
in Japan who can hit that pitch.

175
00:11:33,850 --> 00:11:38,020
I'll switch between Tanba
and Furuya until the summer.

176
00:11:38,420 --> 00:11:40,130
I see.

177
00:11:40,780 --> 00:11:43,140
What did you think about Sawamura?

178
00:11:45,020 --> 00:11:46,500
Sawamura?

179
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:49,360
Masuko got a home run off of him.

180
00:11:50,430 --> 00:11:53,250
He allowed a run from an unlucky
hit to the middle of two fielders,

181
00:11:53,250 --> 00:11:56,520
and a passed ball by the catcher,

182
00:11:57,190 --> 00:12:01,030
but only Masuko was able
to get an actual hit off of him.

183
00:12:04,060 --> 00:12:05,780
Batter superiority.

184
00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:09,510
In high school baseball today
where batters have the upper hand,

185
00:12:09,510 --> 00:12:12,620
a southpaw-moving,
fastball pitcher is an asset.

186
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:17,670
True, we are lacking
left-handed pitchers.

187
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,560
An honest-to-a-fault style
of head-to-head pitching,

188
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:25,120
and incompetency in pickoffs and fielding.

189
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,680
He's useless the way he is now, but...

190
00:12:29,690 --> 00:12:34,560
He has a self-taught form that is grandiose,

191
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:36,690
and flexible joints.

192
00:12:37,140 --> 00:12:39,860
Speaking purely in terms of potential,

193
00:12:40,420 --> 00:12:43,200
he may be much bigger than the other two.

194
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:48,200
For now...

195
00:12:48,610 --> 00:12:51,280
We'll have Furuya gain
experience in the first-string,

196
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:55,530
and I think I'll leave Sawamura
to Chris in the second-string.

197
00:12:56,410 --> 00:12:57,600
To Chris?

198
00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:01,180
Very well.

199
00:13:17,340 --> 00:13:18,410
Listen well!

200
00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:20,440
We have two months until
the summer tournament.

201
00:13:21,170 --> 00:13:24,950
Practicing without an objective
would only be a waste of time.

202
00:13:26,020 --> 00:13:28,200
The first step in climbing a hill,

203
00:13:28,890 --> 00:13:31,120
and the first step in climbing Mt. Fuji...

204
00:13:32,380 --> 00:13:34,540
Physically the same, but mentally different.

205
00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:38,080
Which one are we climbing?

206
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,600
A goal breathes life
into your every day.

207
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,900
Be ambitious and never
neglect your daily training!

208
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:46,590
Sir!

209
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,470
The upperclassmen get to practice
fielding and batting through scrimmages.

210
00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:56,160
But us first-years

211
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,560
are stuck doing circuits and running.

212
00:14:00,110 --> 00:14:04,110
Furuya's in the first-string,
and even he has to do it.

213
00:14:04,110 --> 00:14:06,070
I really want to use balls again.

214
00:14:07,510 --> 00:14:08,070
Hey.

215
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,830
You got into the second-string,
but you don't look so happy.

216
00:14:11,830 --> 00:14:13,200
Of course I'm not.

217
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,090
I'm still doing exactly
what I was doing before!

218
00:14:17,090 --> 00:14:19,460
I want to pitch in the first-string!

219
00:14:19,460 --> 00:14:21,500
Wow! You sure talk big.

220
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,360
But I'd rather get to play in the second-string

221
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,010
than be benched in the first-string.

222
00:14:27,370 --> 00:14:28,130
What?

223
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:29,510
A game?

224
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:33,020
The games we'll have on the
weekends will be double headers,

225
00:14:33,020 --> 00:14:36,030
so I'm sure we'll have chances to play, too.

226
00:14:36,030 --> 00:14:36,860
Seriously?

227
00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:38,330
That's awesome!

228
00:14:38,330 --> 00:14:39,140
Be quiet.

229
00:14:39,140 --> 00:14:41,590
First-year students, Furuya and Sawamura,

230
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:44,410
come immediately to the Field A bench.

231
00:14:47,860 --> 00:14:51,780
You two will be given the pitcher
training menu starting today.

232
00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:55,070
You'll have twice as much
work to do than everyone else,

233
00:14:55,390 --> 00:14:56,290
but good luck.

234
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Furuya-kun,

235
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,680
you might be pitching in next
week's Kanto tournament,

236
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,340
so practice your pickoff
plays and signs with Miyuki.

237
00:15:08,500 --> 00:15:09,420
Okay.

238
00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:10,900
Rei-chan.

239
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:14,290
He has power, but his control is trash.

240
00:15:14,420 --> 00:15:19,010
Also, he'll have to throw a hundred
pitches every day to build endurance.

241
00:15:19,140 --> 00:15:22,460
Oh, you've already been catching his pitch?

242
00:15:26,050 --> 00:15:30,030
I... will do as Miyuki instructs me to do.

243
00:15:36,250 --> 00:15:38,040
It's been too long...

244
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,540
since I last heard the sound

245
00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:43,560
of my pitch being caught by a mitt.

246
00:15:47,970 --> 00:15:49,240
What's wrong?

247
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:52,050
You're the one who dragged me out here.

248
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,550
Don't hold back.
Throw with everything you've got.

249
00:15:57,730 --> 00:15:59,540
When I chose this school...

250
00:16:00,060 --> 00:16:01,770
I made the right choice.

251
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,820
It's a pleasure to work with you.

252
00:16:10,190 --> 00:16:11,350
What's this?

253
00:16:11,350 --> 00:16:13,030
You're being so obedient.

254
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,520
I figured I should start humble.

255
00:16:16,730 --> 00:16:17,830
This guy!

256
00:16:18,990 --> 00:16:20,310
When did they...

257
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,830
get so...

258
00:16:22,490 --> 00:16:26,330
Sawamura-kun, you'll be working
with Chris, a third-year.

259
00:16:27,290 --> 00:16:31,020
Have him teach you about how
to act and lead on the field.

260
00:16:32,580 --> 00:16:33,420
What?

261
00:16:33,420 --> 00:16:34,340
This isn't fair!

262
00:16:34,770 --> 00:16:37,850
I want to pair up with Miyuki, too!

263
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,410
What a coincidence.

264
00:16:47,550 --> 00:16:50,550
I don't want to pair with you, either.

265
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,490
I'm Chris Yu Takigawa.

266
00:16:55,060 --> 00:16:58,340
Nice to meet you, loser pitcher.

267
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,250
First!

268
00:17:03,550 --> 00:17:04,000
Hey!

269
00:17:13,690 --> 00:17:15,050
Don't worry about it.

270
00:17:15,050 --> 00:17:17,140
Don't give me that!

271
00:17:18,660 --> 00:17:22,140
His throws are amazing, but I guess
he's not as good at fielding.

272
00:17:23,430 --> 00:17:26,170
You're thinking too much
about stepping on the base.

273
00:17:28,050 --> 00:17:30,160
If you don't run parallel to the foul line,

274
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,280
the runner's gonna shred your legs.

275
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,690
The moment you release the ball,
you become the ninth fielder.

276
00:17:37,930 --> 00:17:39,620
Don't ever forget that.

277
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:40,690
Sir.

278
00:17:43,130 --> 00:17:47,040
Tanba-san's got a lot of dignity,
giving advice to his rival.

279
00:17:47,530 --> 00:17:51,220
Well, he does have way more experience.

280
00:17:54,820 --> 00:17:57,050
You look envious.

281
00:17:57,540 --> 00:18:00,560
You want to go to the first-string that badly?

282
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:02,060
Rather...

283
00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:04,990
How long are you gonna make me stretch?

284
00:18:04,990 --> 00:18:06,480
It's already been thirty minutes!

285
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,100
We're in the bullpen!

286
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:09,440
Let me pitch!

287
00:18:11,780 --> 00:18:13,940
What are you writing down?

288
00:18:15,310 --> 00:18:16,850
What's wrong with this guy?

289
00:18:16,850 --> 00:18:20,450
He has a quiet voice,
and I have no idea what he wants to do.

290
00:18:21,550 --> 00:18:25,180
Shoulder, elbow, and wrist
joints are very flexible.

291
00:18:25,180 --> 00:18:29,960
His fingers are long and have
many traits of a good pitcher.

292
00:18:32,530 --> 00:18:33,460
What did you say?

293
00:18:35,330 --> 00:18:35,960
However...

294
00:18:37,650 --> 00:18:40,470
You'll never become the ace here.

295
00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:42,350
You'll never become the ace here.

296
00:18:44,260 --> 00:18:47,810
In the last tryout scrimmage,
why did you ignore the catcher

297
00:18:49,020 --> 00:18:50,810
and go for head-to-head duels?

298
00:18:56,060 --> 00:18:57,690
Are catchers...

299
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,320
just targets to you?

300
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:03,830
Th-That's not it at all!

301
00:19:03,830 --> 00:19:07,330
To be honest, I don't have
confidence in my ball control.

302
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:09,420
I didn't want to throw halfheartedly,

303
00:19:09,420 --> 00:19:11,710
so I thought I could just
throw as hard as I can.

304
00:19:12,070 --> 00:19:17,260
Besides, a head-to-head battle
of powers is the best part about baseball.

305
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,920
That's why you're a loser.

306
00:19:24,030 --> 00:19:25,260
Anyway, throw.

307
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,640
Though I don't expect anything from you.

308
00:19:32,820 --> 00:19:35,680
He calls me a loser
and doesn't give me any credit,

309
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,300
but he's got the mask,
the guards, the whole package.

310
00:19:38,650 --> 00:19:39,970
Maybe...

311
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:43,030
You're actually pretty scared of my pitch?

312
00:19:51,580 --> 00:19:53,120
What is he doing?

313
00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:57,500
He didn't move the mitt a single inch.

314
00:19:58,830 --> 00:19:59,890
What's wrong?

315
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,280
This is where my...

316
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,760
mitt is.

317
00:20:07,980 --> 00:20:10,270
He's so scary!

318
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,840
A head-to-head battle of powers
is the best part about baseball?

319
00:20:16,020 --> 00:20:18,650
Maybe for your own self-satisfaction.

320
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:22,620
A pitcher

321
00:20:23,310 --> 00:20:25,320
must stand on the mound

322
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,600
with everything on his shoulders,
including the benched players.

323
00:20:29,420 --> 00:20:30,690
I would never...

324
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:34,170
want to entrust the three
years we spent here to you.

325
00:20:42,230 --> 00:20:43,860
What is up with that guy?

326
00:20:43,860 --> 00:20:46,050
He's calling it a day
way before everyone else!

327
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,560
What does he know from
seeing a few of my throws?

328
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,860
You're in the second-string, too!

329
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:54,560
Don't take out your frustration on me!

330
00:20:56,710 --> 00:20:59,070
He's running by himself again.

331
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,800
I guess he's already on bad terms with Chris.

332
00:21:03,030 --> 00:21:05,580
I don't like him. He's gloomy.

333
00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:06,580
You, too?

334
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,080
Damn it.

335
00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:15,710
It's like... nothing's
changed at all since my—

336
00:21:15,710 --> 00:21:17,250
Sawamura-kun!

337
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,840
Here you go.

338
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,580
Chris in third-year asked
me to give it to you.

339
00:21:25,970 --> 00:21:28,820
He said to do it after you
finish your daily menu.

340
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,810
Today's Menu
10 Hill Sprint, 3x10 Scissor Jump, 2x10 Push Press, 2x10 MB Sit Up Throw, 2x10 Ballistic Lunge, 2x15 Dumbbell Push and Low, 3x10 MB Overhand, 2x15 Lunge

341
00:21:40,170 --> 00:21:43,900
There are a lot of pitchers who lost
their futures pairing with Chris.

342
00:21:44,430 --> 00:21:46,220
Maybe the rumor about him

343
00:21:46,220 --> 00:21:50,370
going crazy after losing his
first-string position to Miyuki is true.

344
00:21:51,490 --> 00:21:55,410
I feel sorry for Sawamura,
having to form a battery with him.

345
00:21:59,060 --> 00:22:00,670
You've gotta be kidding me!

346
00:22:01,250 --> 00:22:04,920
I'm gonna kill you!

347
00:23:35,130 --> 00:23:36,660
Hey, Sawamura-kun.

348
00:23:36,820 --> 00:23:38,890
You certainly talk big.

349
00:23:39,250 --> 00:23:42,650
But you'll never,
ever be the ace here.

350
00:23:42,650 --> 00:23:45,400
Who are you to tell me that?

351
00:23:45,970 --> 00:23:48,150
Miyuki snapped, all of a sudden.

352
00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:51,190
What are you hiding, anyway?

353
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,880
Next time on Ace of the Diamond:
The Truth About Chris.

354
00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:59,890
The Truth About Chris.

355
00:23:56,260 --> 00:23:58,780
Let's win the national title!
