1
00:00:01,190 --> 00:00:02,700
Please let me pitch

2
00:00:03,650 --> 00:00:05,040
the last inning.

3
00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:09,110
I'm giving the last inning to you.

4
00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:12,320
You're the ace. Go close it out.

5
00:00:15,070 --> 00:00:16,080
Seido!

6
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:17,200
Miyuki!

7
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:20,450
Are you okay?

8
00:00:20,950 --> 00:00:23,550
If I couldn't play, the coach
would've stopped me.

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,950
Then I can go all out.

10
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:29,130
What?

11
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:31,040
That's good.

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,340
You weren't worried about me?

13
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:34,590
Seriously?

14
00:00:35,380 --> 00:00:37,790
Sawamura and Furuya...

15
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:39,850
They're both crazy.

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,140
Shine even brighter.

17
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:49,300
Surprise me even more.

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,220
Let's go see...

19
00:00:55,940 --> 00:00:59,490
...what lies ahead together.

20
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,060
Swinging strike out!

21
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:55,060
Seido
Yakushi

22
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,640
Both teams showed great offense
and defense from the beginning.

23
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,550
In the top of the ninth,
Seido barely turned it around.

24
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:08,620
And come the bottom,
their ace cleanly closed out the game!

25
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:12,370
Two hundred fifty-four schools
throughout Tokyo

26
00:05:12,370 --> 00:05:17,020
played this fall for a spot
in the spring invitational,

27
00:05:17,020 --> 00:05:19,250
and Seido comes out on top!

28
00:05:21,570 --> 00:05:25,090
Yakushi was one out away
from grabbing the win,

29
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:28,420
but their dream has slipped away.

30
00:05:28,420 --> 00:05:33,200
However, they've certainly showed all of Tokyo

31
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,100
what they're capable of doing!

32
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,630
Stand properly! Come now!

33
00:05:48,730 --> 00:05:49,370
Bow!

34
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,160
Good game!

35
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,630
An injury?

36
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:02,380
Was he playing with an injury the entire game?

37
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:07,820
We were so full of ourselves
that we couldn't even see it.

38
00:06:10,510 --> 00:06:11,870
Sorry, Raichi.

39
00:06:12,260 --> 00:06:14,640
I couldn't put you in the box.

40
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:22,200
Yeah.

41
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:24,150
I wanted to face him.

42
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,190
I didn't want it to end.

43
00:06:30,180 --> 00:06:32,590
I wanted to play more.

44
00:06:40,450 --> 00:06:41,860
Good game!

45
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:42,960
You were close!

46
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,670
Don't cry, Miss-shima!

47
00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:46,440
We'll come cheer for you again!

48
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,170
I wanted to see you guys at nationals!

49
00:06:49,170 --> 00:06:50,530
Good job!

50
00:06:50,530 --> 00:06:51,880
Good game!

51
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,410
You guys were amazing!

52
00:06:53,410 --> 00:06:54,680
Sanada!

53
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,250
Defense, base running, strategy,
situational batting...

54
00:07:01,340 --> 00:07:04,220
I know we couldn't win
with momentum alone.

55
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,820
I know what we were lacking.

56
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,180
All too well.

57
00:07:11,650 --> 00:07:12,840
Still...

58
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,320
...we were so close.

59
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:19,710
It's not just a dream.

60
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:21,710
We had our hands on it.

61
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:27,510
It just slipped away.

62
00:07:32,470 --> 00:07:33,820
Seido!

63
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:34,900
Zono!

64
00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:36,100
Miyuki!

65
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,220
Nice game!

66
00:07:37,220 --> 00:07:39,390
Go crazy at nationals!

67
00:07:39,390 --> 00:07:41,320
Zono, are you crying?

68
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,230
I'm not crying!

69
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:43,340
Furuya!

70
00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:45,230
Furuya, nice pitch!

71
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,740
Nationals! Nationals!

72
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,100
Furuya-kun pitched well.

73
00:07:54,740 --> 00:07:59,240
Yeah, he pitched like a true ace.

74
00:07:59,940 --> 00:08:03,750
They've finally opened the
door to nationals.

75
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,680
There's still the Jingu Tournament,

76
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,190
but I'm excited to see what
they'll show us at the invitational

77
00:08:12,190 --> 00:08:14,010
after going through winter training.

78
00:08:15,310 --> 00:08:16,510
Kazuya...

79
00:08:17,220 --> 00:08:19,770
So you're going to experience it, too.

80
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:24,020
Things are getting interesting.

81
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:26,270
No. No. No.

82
00:08:28,260 --> 00:08:32,590
Go and come back
as a more formidable team.

83
00:08:32,590 --> 00:08:34,780
The summer nationals will be ours.

84
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,040
Let's go back!

85
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,780
Yes, sir!

86
00:08:38,390 --> 00:08:41,790
Looks like they lit a fire under him.

87
00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:46,830
We did it!

88
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:49,130
We did iiiit!

89
00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:53,510
In the last inning, Coach Kataoka
replaced Sawamura with Furuya,

90
00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:58,140
and it worked out perfectly.

91
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:00,820
Trusting the ace.

92
00:09:01,180 --> 00:09:03,840
It's not as easy as it sounds.

93
00:09:05,180 --> 00:09:06,680
If it were me...

94
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:23,180
Nationals...

95
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,440
I'm...

96
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,040
...jealous.

97
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:34,920
Fall Tokyo High School Baseball Tournament Final
(W. Tokyo) Seido 5 - 4 Yakushi (W. Tokyo)

98
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:38,340
Wow! Furuya-san was so cool!

99
00:09:35,820 --> 00:09:37,760
Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium

100
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:40,330
How fast does he pitch?

101
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:43,130
Sawamura-san was really good, too!

102
00:09:43,130 --> 00:09:44,390
Yeah, and really loud!

103
00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:47,440
I was rooting for Yakushi in the end.

104
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,240
What?

105
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,470
You didn't watch the Ichidai game?

106
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:52,770
Kosei Amahisa is on the rise!

107
00:09:53,110 --> 00:09:54,880
I saw Inashiro in the stands.

108
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,420
Seriously? Narumiya-san was here?

109
00:09:57,420 --> 00:10:00,000
I wanted to meet him!

110
00:09:57,780 --> 00:09:59,390
Yay!

111
00:09:58,990 --> 00:10:00,740
Second Round Pick

112
00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:07,740
Yeah, the same doctor Furuya-kun saw.

113
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:09,320
Should I get a taxi?

114
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,290
Yes, please.

115
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,500
Boys! Don't forget to ice!

116
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:14,560
Shut up!

117
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:16,610
I'm doing it right now!

118
00:10:16,610 --> 00:10:20,350
You didn't even tell us you were hurt!
You kept me out of the loop!

119
00:10:20,350 --> 00:10:22,260
You didn't notice?

120
00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:24,520
Wait! Are you worried about me?

121
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,520
Shut up! Go see the doctor!

122
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:29,370
Miyuki.

123
00:10:29,370 --> 00:10:30,310
Sorry.

124
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:34,820
The last defense.

125
00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:37,530
I wasn't planning to let you play,

126
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,210
but you know how Yakushi is.

127
00:10:40,210 --> 00:10:43,780
I didn't want to give them any openings.

128
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,710
I prioritized the win in the end.

129
00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:54,170
I see.

130
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,050
If you still thought I was useful, then I'm glad.

131
00:10:58,530 --> 00:11:03,360
I honestly thought I was dragging
the team down with my own selfishness.

132
00:11:04,220 --> 00:11:06,100
Don't try to sound cool, stupid!

133
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,560
Not like you would've switched, anyway.

134
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,110
Well, I'll take him now.

135
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:11,940
Get up!

136
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:13,310
I can walk.

137
00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:15,780
You're unbelievable.

138
00:11:15,780 --> 00:11:18,390
You could barely stand
during the closing ceremony.

139
00:11:18,390 --> 00:11:20,660
You were crying like crazy.

140
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Shut up!

141
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,510
The Jingu Tournament, made up of schools
from across the nation, is in ten days.

142
00:11:26,910 --> 00:11:31,580
We may have to play without Miyuki-kun.

143
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,690
As the coach of the
Tokyo Tournament champions,

144
00:11:35,690 --> 00:11:38,590
you'll be in the dugout, won't you?

145
00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:45,940
In the end, only the outcome matters.

146
00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:49,340
Anything the loser says
just sounds like an excuse.

147
00:11:50,930 --> 00:11:53,600
However, I want to say one thing.

148
00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:56,480
The boys played really well.

149
00:11:57,180 --> 00:11:58,490
They were admirable.

150
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,860
They kept their heads up and looked forward.

151
00:12:05,180 --> 00:12:08,490
They've taught me so much.

152
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,220
We've finally made it to nationals!

153
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:16,130
It's been such a long road!

154
00:12:16,130 --> 00:12:19,240
People across the country
will know of our school!

155
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,680
Well done, Coach Ochiai.

156
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,620
You'll be starting your career at nationals!

157
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:28,640
That's a happy-go-lucky attitude.

158
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,100
The runner-up in the summer
and champions in the fall.

159
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:38,900
With this track record, many good players
will want to come to Seido.

160
00:12:39,370 --> 00:12:41,780
It's only going to get busier from here.

161
00:12:43,010 --> 00:12:44,210
Sheesh.

162
00:12:44,210 --> 00:12:46,160
I wonder if I have any
connections somewhere.

163
00:12:46,810 --> 00:12:50,030
What you need to do, first and foremost,

164
00:12:50,030 --> 00:12:53,160
is to prevent Coach Kataoka from quitting.

165
00:12:55,470 --> 00:12:57,540
Furuya-kun, do you want this?

166
00:12:58,070 --> 00:12:59,520
Hey, whose is this?

167
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Just bring it!

168
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:04,300
Sawamura!

169
00:13:04,780 --> 00:13:06,620
Is your ankle okay?

170
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:07,370
Yeah.

171
00:13:14,590 --> 00:13:16,310
What? Say what?

172
00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:18,580
I can't do it.

173
00:13:18,580 --> 00:13:20,450
What? Can't do what?

174
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:25,240
I'm not suited to be the captain.

175
00:13:26,730 --> 00:13:31,120
You guys should put yourselves in my shoes.

176
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,020
You can be captains.

177
00:13:33,830 --> 00:13:36,180
Oh, no! Is he dying?

178
00:13:36,180 --> 00:13:37,520
He's going crazy!

179
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,310
It's so tough.

180
00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:41,340
Driver, please hurry!

181
00:13:47,170 --> 00:13:48,540
Congratulations!

182
00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:51,350
Congratulations!

183
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,600
Congratulations, Coach!

184
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,230
Congratulations!

185
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,270
Congratulations, Coach!

186
00:13:57,270 --> 00:13:58,940
You're finally going to nationals!

187
00:13:59,930 --> 00:14:02,020
Let's win nationals now!

188
00:14:02,020 --> 00:14:03,730
Boss!

189
00:14:03,730 --> 00:14:05,700
Win the national title!

190
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:07,190
Congratulations!

191
00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:08,240
Shogun!

192
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,660
Congratulations!

193
00:14:09,660 --> 00:14:10,740
Let's take the top.

194
00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:12,320
Nice one!

195
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,240
Good job!

196
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,540
You have to go all the way!

197
00:14:15,540 --> 00:14:18,370
You'd better make him
the best coach in Japan!

198
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,380
Damn, I hate you!

199
00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:22,670
Today...

200
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,230
Today, we won...

201
00:14:32,740 --> 00:14:35,340
...but we didn't win the game alone.

202
00:14:37,630 --> 00:14:38,450
We...

203
00:14:46,290 --> 00:14:48,600
We all tasted defeat in the summer.

204
00:14:50,940 --> 00:14:54,440
You showed the first- and second-years...

205
00:14:55,410 --> 00:14:56,840
...how to always...

206
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,150
...stay positive and train hard.

207
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,080
All of you third-years...

208
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,150
...are part of the reason we won.

209
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:18,760
Thank you.

210
00:15:55,290 --> 00:15:57,490
I think it's time!

211
00:15:58,930 --> 00:16:00,980
Throw him in the air!

212
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:04,930
Hey, Jun!

213
00:16:04,930 --> 00:16:07,230
We're going for ten at least, Coach!

214
00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:09,180
That's not enough.

215
00:16:09,180 --> 00:16:10,990
On three! Are you ready?

216
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,490
What's the Guinness world record?

218
00:16:15,210 --> 00:16:17,250
Are you being serious, Tetsu?

219
00:16:17,950 --> 00:16:19,440
Let's toss him super high!

220
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,410
Hey, we need more in the middle!

221
00:16:21,410 --> 00:16:23,300
Everyone, gather around!

222
00:16:24,070 --> 00:16:25,660
Are you ready?

223
00:16:25,660 --> 00:16:27,450
One, two, three!

224
00:16:27,450 --> 00:16:32,770
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

225
00:16:32,770 --> 00:16:36,290
Hurrah! Hurrah!

226
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,520
Furuya.

227
00:16:49,580 --> 00:16:52,890
You told me before...

228
00:16:53,770 --> 00:16:56,280
...that you were glad you came to this school.

229
00:17:09,830 --> 00:17:11,090
Right now,

230
00:17:12,110 --> 00:17:14,480
I sincerely feel the same.

231
00:17:19,410 --> 00:17:21,410
I'm gonna steal

232
00:17:22,450 --> 00:17:24,510
that ace number from you.

233
00:17:35,140 --> 00:17:36,280
I won't lose.

234
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:44,330
Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

244
00:21:21,390 --> 00:21:22,670
It's day five of the tournament,

245
00:21:22,670 --> 00:21:24,880
and the game between Homei from Kyushu

246
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,630
and Seido from Tokyo is nearing its end!

247
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,500
Coach Ochiai.

248
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,670
You're in the way.

249
00:21:35,030 --> 00:21:36,820
It's cold in there.

250
00:21:36,820 --> 00:21:38,730
Then wear a jacket, please.

251
00:21:39,230 --> 00:21:40,730
It's their first national tournament in seven years.

252
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,990
After taking the reigns
from Coach Sakaki,

253
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:46,490
it's his second time here as a coach.

254
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:51,760
This is Tesshin Kataoka,
formerly known as the "Ace on Fire."

255
00:21:52,490 --> 00:21:54,870
He's calling for a change in pitchers.

256
00:21:54,870 --> 00:21:56,500
The ace, Furuya, is going into left field.

257
00:21:59,060 --> 00:22:00,730
What does it mean

258
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,750
to go to nationals?

259
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,680
What's so special

260
00:22:07,410 --> 00:22:09,460
about nationals?

261
00:22:11,060 --> 00:22:15,590
Running to the mound
is Seido's southpaw.

262
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,100


263
00:22:22,540 --> 00:22:26,560
I don't know what you
want out of nationals,

264
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,780
but who sets their goals on
something anyone can go to?

265
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,440
We try because it's hard.

266
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,790
It's a dream because it takes a lot of work.

267
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:48,090
No matter who we're playing,

268
00:22:48,540 --> 00:22:51,300
no matter where we are,

269
00:22:52,090 --> 00:22:55,060
we just play Seido's baseball!

270
00:22:57,060 --> 00:23:01,060
seido
Homei

271
00:22:58,340 --> 00:23:01,060
What's so special about nationals?

272
00:23:01,820 --> 00:23:05,820
Why don't you go figure that out yourself?

273
00:23:07,780 --> 00:23:10,180
I'll be keeping everyone busy,

274
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,000
so fielders, thank you in advance!

275
00:23:29,950 --> 00:23:34,840
Thank you for watching
these two and half years!
