Major 4th Season Episode 18 Kohn

Grandpa!

Oh, if it isn't Alice!

I'm glad that you seem well;

your complexion has a good color to it, too.

But of course, it's the first time in 15 years that the Bats have won the division pennant.

There's nothing that could make me feel bad now!

That's true.

Go! Bats!

Take them down! Go!

Go! Bats!

Take them down!

Go! Go! Bats!

Go! Go! Bats!

Go! Go! Bats!

Strike out!

They did it!

They did it! They won!

They won!

They did it, they did it!

They did it, they did it!

They did it! They won, Alice!

Even the pipsqueak who I pulled into becoming a big Bats fan...

has become such a beautiful young woman.

And now you've grown to lead the Bats to victory once again.

I guess this means that I can retire with relief, huh?

You can't do that, Grandpa!

And it hasn't been decided that we'll win the championship yet either.

After becoming number one we've had three consecutive losses!

And on top of that, we're going to face the second-ranked team today, the Rockets!

This time we have to win for sure in front of all the local Memphis fans!

Or else the players are going to get it!

That sounds scary.

And also, even if we win, the playoffs will be right after it.

You have to hurry and get well, Grandpa...

so we can work hard together!

Yeah, that's true.

The ballpark is always filled with dreams.

Show me a good dream, Alice.

Yeah! Look forward to it!

Alice's dream. Everybody's dream.

You got it, everyone?

Today, everyone has to put their all into it and win the championship!

Yes, sir!

Do your best!

Go! Go! Bats!

Go! Bats!

This won't work.

They've become really tense from the pressure to win.

Pull yourselves together!

Strike out!

Hey! What are you doing?

Aren't your eyes open?

Strike out!

Game over!

So once again, the game ended before my turn.

Can't be helped; I guess I'll run home, then.

Wait up, you guys!

Today's the fourth consecutive loss! Do you all know that?

I can't believe this!

Your shrill voice is so loud it hurts.

Don't you think the players know that best?

What are you getting so mad about?

This is unbelievable. Today they were Bad Bats. Disgusting.

With victory right in front of their eyes, they play like that; it's-

Unreasonable!

If I find those players, they are going to get it!

We have to knock the soul of Memphis into them!

Stop that, you two.

My grandchild is with us, please don't talk violently like that.

It's Goro!

What!?

Hey, Shigeno!

Thanks for your good work!

You're the pitcher, Goro, right? We're always cheering you on!

N-Nice meeting you.

N-Nice meeting you.

Hey, Goro!

The Bats couldn't win today either!

You're slacking off!

I am? But I wasn't even playing today.

Shigeno.

We're going to have a meeting to reflect on today's game.

How about joining us?

Yeah, do so!

We'll treat you!

You should really eat a huge steak sometime!

After all, you're always eating nothing but moist hamburgers, aren't you?

W-Well, but I've still got training to do...

Well, but still...

I guess sometimes a huge steak wouldn't hurt.

Yay!

Goro plus meat!

We haven't introduced ourselves yet.

I'm Charlie.

And this is Greg and Marvin.

This is Kathy.

We were the first ones to set our eyes on you.

Do remember that.

Yeah,

nice to meet you!

H-Huge!

H-Huge!

The pork ribs at this place are especially huge and delicious!

For real? Then I'll start eating!

Delicious!

And...

This is my grandson Peter!

Oh, it's Peter.

Hey, Peter.

How old are you?

Seven!

The same as Shingo.

Is Shingo your girlfriend?

No, he's my little brother.

And even younger, there's my sister Chiharu.

I've got a girlfriend, you know...

But you don't have one, Goro, right?

Be quiet, you!

Shigeno.

Do you know about the Hornets' Watts?

Yeah.

That closer, right?

When he entered the Bats, he didn't stand out as a pitcher, but he threw a good ball.

And that's why we started to keep our eyes on him and cheer for him.

Since then he's put on a conspicuous amount of strength,

and now he's the Hornets' guardian deity.

Don't worry!

You'll be like that too!

Yeah, that's right!

We've never gone wrong with the guys we've set our eyes on!

Exactly!

You'll go to the Majors and shine, no doubt!

Yeah, that's how it's going to be!

But...

Before that, you've got to win tomorrow!

Or else, I'll kick you again!

Got it.

And you seemed so full of energy this morning too...

Alice?

Papa! Mama!

How's grandpa? How is he?

Calm down first.

Now be calm and listen, Alice.

The doctor said...

that my father's condition is quite bad.

This is the third time he's collapsed, you know.

And it seems his body's resistance is gradually getting weaker.

This can't be...

And that's the thing, Alice.

We've been considering if we should all move to New York.

W-Wait a minute! Why do you want to move to New York out of the blue!?

There are many better equipped hospitals there than here.

And also...

I know a doctor there that is a specialist on your grandfather's illness.

He told me that he'd go out of his way to help.

B-But if we move, what will happen to the Bats!?

About that...

Under these circumstances, I think my father should stop managing the baseball team.

As my father is right now...

I want him to think about his health as his top priority.

And also...

We haven't said anything to you, but...

we've been looking for a new caretaker for the baseball team.

A caretaker?

And then last week...

A businessman in Nashville...

accepted to become the new owner of the team.

Nashville...

So far away...

Even though it's far, it's still in the Tennessee state.

But it isn't Memphis!

Alice...

What about the Memphis fans then!?

They've all cheered for us since a long time ago...

because we are their local baseball team!

Alice!

It's a necessary thing to do!

Please understand.

I don't understand.

The Memphis Bats are...

what grandpa lives for, aren't they?

Myself also...

and all the fans too.

The Bats...

have got to be the Memphis Bats!

Okay.

I thought I would ask you to convince my father, but...

I will talk to him myself.

This is a free fansub. Not for sale or rent.

I'm going now.

Do your best as well, grandpa.

Today the Bats will win the championship for sure!

Oh yeah!

I'm looking forward to it!

It's true that...

it might be best for grandpa's health if we move to New York...

but...

do the Bats really have to become separated from Memphis because of that?

Yo!

Shigeno-kun!

What's with that gloomy face?

Don't worry.

Today we'll win the division pennant for sure.

You're right.

What did you say, you bastard!?

Try to say that again!

I'll say it as many times as you want.

The Rockets will win today too and make a comeback victory in the league.

It's 15 years too early for the clumsy Bats to be able to win.

Hey, you! I won't forgive you for speaking badly of the Bats!

That's right!

As honor-filled Bats fans, we won't stand for it!

Stop it, Peter.

Hey, hey, you guys!

What are you doing?

Stop with this nonsense!

Shigeno-kun!

Shigeno!

Hey, Shigeno!

Goro!

Are you all right, dear?

Shigeno, isn't that...

That closer...

Are you really all right?

Yeah, I only fell down.

But you didn't hurt your hand, did you?

Show it to me.

It's all right, I'm telling you. You're all exaggerating.

Don't say such a stupid thing!

W-What is it? Why are you so angry, Gramps?

W-What is it? Why are you so angry, Gramps?

Shigeno.

It's not only your dreams...

The dreams of all of us fans are counting on this left arm!

Dreams...

That's right!

Yeah. It's only natural that we worry.

That's right, Goro.

Yeah, that's right.

Thank you.

Leave it to me!

We're counting on you!

Geez, this part is where it hurts, you know...

Hello?

Mama?

I've got a request.

Over here!

Alice, why did you call us at such a time?

Your father and I must stay with my father, or...

Yeah.

Please...

Please, I want you to watch the Memphis Bats' game closely, in this stadium, before the end!

Grandpa...

he always said...

"The ballpark is always filled with dreams."

I want to burn those dreams into your eyes before the end!

Alice...

You punks!

How many times will you make me say the same thing...

until you're satisfied!?

Get it?

Today is the day that we, by all costs, absolutely will win!

Yeah!

Go! Go! Bats!

Go! Go! Bats!

Go! Go! Bats!

Play ball!

Well, well, the Memphis Bats...

for the first time in 15 years...

are finally reaching their dream of winning the division pennant!

And...

entering the stage in the ninth inning is of course...

the suppressor, the trump card:

Goro Shigeno!

Shigeno!

Go, Goro!

We're counting on you, Shigeno!

All our dreams...

Make them come true!

Please, Shigeno-kun.

Make our dreams come true.

Let's do this!

Strike two!

Far from the outside, I got it.

Strike out!

Strike out!

This guy, he's...

Just one more...

Goro...

Strike two!

Half a ball outside the strike zone.

You can do it as you are right now.

Strike out!

Game over!

You did it!

Yay!

Don't dodge!

We did it! We did it!

Let me in too!

They did it! They won!

For the first time in 15 years...

the Memphis Bats have won...

the Eastern Division Pennant!

They did it!

You won! Goro!

Isn't it wonderful, Mary?

The ballpark is always filled with dreams.

Yeah!

Hello, Gordon?

Yes.

Yes.

I see.

Thank you!

He said that father seemingly heard the radio announcement...

and woke up...

just as the Bats won!

I see!

The dreams of my father and Alice...

and of all the people gathered here, are in this place.

And the players who grant their dreams are here.

That hasn't changed.

We'll have to reconsider moving to New York, don't you agree?

That's right.

As the Bats have finally fulfilled their wish to win the division pennant...

We'll use the spirit we've accumulated and dominate in the playoffs as well!

What?

The boss has called for me?

Have I done something wrong?

Next time, on Major:

Decision.

Run towards the stage of your dreams!
