Original subtitles

Hey, I heard you guys beat Teito.

Zono got the winning run?

Nice.

I knew you would do it.

Thank you.

Though I would've hit it out of the park.

Jun-san.

If you win the next one, you play Inashiro.

Yes.

If all goes well.

Make everything go well!

Narumiya's tired from summer.

Kill him!

I'll allow it.

Want me to play as a pinch hitter?

I'll kill him personally!

You can't, Jun-san!

Maybe I won't get caught

if I switch with Haruichi.

Ryo-san, you, too?

He was being so cocky,

so I made him cry with a choke hold.

You guys are so close.

What? I hate Sawamoron.

Miyuki.

Do you have a minute?

What's up, Nabe-chan?

All the way from the room next door.

Kudo and Higashio, too?

Oh, it's nothing.

Miyuki-kun, here.

These are the groups for the school trip.

Kuramochi, here.

Where's the "kun" for me?

You might have a game during the trip, right?

So all the baseball team guys are in the same group.

Wow! You're right.

This is the same as the dorm members.

This is terrible.

We're not going.

We don't plan on losing.

Here, you can have it back.

Right?

Y-Yeah.

I see. That's too bad.

It was a good opportunity to get to know everyone in class.

Whatever!

It's the schedule's fault!

The school doesn't care about us going to the trip.

It's the principal's conspiracy!

So what did you need?

Sorry, never mind.

Hey!

My Path

What's Sawamura reading today?

He quickly gave up on Crime and Punishment the other day.

He couldn't remember the characters' names.

Yes, he loves it! Your Lie is the one!

I didn't expect he'd cry so much, though.

I can sympathize.

Did you lend it to him?

Yeah, and I made him read it.

He's cheered up recently, hasn't he?

Maybe something good happened.

I... I want to talk about it.

Has every volume

Damn.

He's getting cocky because he got to play.

Hurry up and read it!

I'm next.

You're spoiling me with your reactions!

What a great view with five cages on the field.

I'm sure the players enjoy getting more turns, too.

Yeah.

Coach Ochiai proposed installing them.

We do a lot of situational practice

to give everyone a good intuition of baseball.

He thought instead of making them think,

it would be better to just let them bat freely.

Oh, I see.

smug face

Everyones loves batting practice.

I have a few more ideas, too, despite how I act.

He's getting assertive all of a sudden.

Relax my body.

Concentrate only on my fingertips!

Let's go!

His outside pitches are looking good.

Really hard to time, too.

He volunteered to pitch today.

Did he volunteer, too?

It's not even about timing.

It's gonna demoralize me.

These guys are able to play because they have their own weapons.

Don't hold back, Furuya!

Otherwise there's no point in having you pitching!

Was never planning to...

Not just him.

Sawamura, Kominato, and Tojo are playing in games.

I'm not gonna be stuck as a bench warmer!

Furuya.

Don't be surprised.

Shinji's really good at hitting fastballs.

Wow! He hit the first pitch!

And it went pretty far!

He's been looking good recently.

I know how you feel.

You made an error the other day. too.

Let's go!

Man, that hurt my hand.

Come over here next, Kanemaru!

Shut up!

You're gonna hit me!

This is good.

The first-years are looking energetic, as are the second-years.

Yeah.

It might be a good idea to try a few new things in the game on Saturday.

Eijun-kun.

Go easy on me.

You wanna fight?

You wanna fight?!

It's hard not to think about it.

Ugumori did well in the summer tournament, too,

but the third round game will almost surely be against...

Inashiro Vocational

Everyone feels the same way.

Revenge for the summer!

I'm so small!

Why didn't you tell Miyuki, Nabe?

Guess you couldn't in that atmosphere.

Hey, Kudo.

There's the coach thing, too,

so couldn't we wait until the tournament ends?

It's something I'd always felt, but it's become more apparent lately.

The difference in motivation.

Kudo, Higashio.

Is it okay...

...for us to be on the team feeling like this?

There are still a lot of reporters here.

It's calmed down a little now,

but the runner up from nationals is playing this weekend.

They have four members who experienced nationals.

They're the favorite to win the spring invitational.

And if they play Seido in the third round,

it'll the summer final all over again.

I bet the stadium will be packed.

His pitches look fast.

He doesn't look tired from summer.

He didn't pitch much in the group stages,

so I'm sure Coach Kunitomo did a good job keeping him rested.

Mei-san, can I get a change-up next?

Preferably low.

Sure, but can you catch it?

Even if you can stop it in the bullpen,

there's no use if you let it past you in the game.

If you don't at least let it roll forward, I can't pitch it comfortably!

He's still talking about the passed ball in the group stages.

Let him talk, Tadano.

This is all to help you improve.

I think.

I'll catch it.

Even if it kills me!

What a lie!

A big lie!

Where did you learn to say that?

Movies and comics?

Video games?

Don't I always tell you?

Feelings alone can't get you anywhere.

It's about skills.

Having the skills will give you confidence,

and you'll be able to control your feelings, then.

Relying on feelings or whatever is what people without skills do!

This kid has a big mouth.

Don't worry.

You'll automatically get better if you're my catcher.

Yes, sir.

But I have my pride as a catcher, too.

Shut up, you stubborn kid!

This is new.

Narumiya-kun is the one guiding the first-years.

Is he actually?

They made the best of a good opportunity and scored three runs from Mukai.

What was surprising was how their pitchers kept the Teito batters to two runs.

Although Furuya got switched out because of the rain,

I heard he was in the zone until then.

Sawamura and Kawakami add depth to their pitching crew.

They may not have the explosive batting anymore,

but they could be more troublesome than in the summer tournament, in a way.

We're in no position to talk about an opponent that far ahead.

We have to take down Ugumori first, or it's over.

Y-Yes, you're right.

One win at a time.

My apologies.

Coach Kunitomo looked a little stressed since the summer season ended.

Seido High School Practice Field

What a crazy start.

How can he be so decisive?

He watches the pitcher's entire body or something.

He can tell from a righty's back.

That's too high level for me to imitate.

What a good run.

He's useful.

It's always reliable, too.

The next move changes drastically, depending on if Kuramochi gets on base or not.

He has a good batting eye, too.

If only he could get on base more.

You fell for it!

You play way too risky.

In both defense and stealing.

Yeah.

Damn.

But Sawamura's pick-off's gotten better, too.

It's really mortifying when Sawamoron catches you.

Hey, you look like a bad guy right now.

A base steal practice against a southpaw.

It'll be a back-to-back game this weekend,

so he's already preparing to play against Narumiya-kun.

How do you like it, Harucchi?

Can you run?

No one can run when I'm pitching!

Because you never pitch to me!

Throw the ball!

Ow!

Why did you tag me there?

It's practice, so don't force it!

Damn! That hurt.

Sorry.

You okay?

Do I look okay?

What's with him?

He just messed up his slide.

Seido Spirit Dorm

Nanamori has Hayashi from Fuchu Senior, right?

He's a pitcher now.

He throws a lot of sliders.

We won't lose if we don't underestimate them.

Huh? You already done, Kudo?

Yeah, my stomach doesn't feel good.

What? Don't let the coach find out.

Kudo.

This is the fruit of Miyauchi-senpai's training.

If you don't force yourself to eat, you won't get bigger.

Wow! Yamaguchi!

When'd you get so big?

Shuji.

Don't worry too much.

Aso has a foul mouth, but he forgets things quickly.

Yeah.

He probably already forgot, too.

Join me for some tee practice later.

Kijima.

You want to hit, too, right?

Let's get better and show up Aso.

Nori-senpai.

Shouldn't you call it a night?

Why don't you call it first?

Oh, please!

I can keep going.

Same here.

I can keep going more!

Same here.

Oh, no! He's recovered!

Go back and sleep, Furuya-nator!

Nori-senpai, you look pale!

999 Frequent English Grammar and Vocabulary Questions

What's up?

Why all the study guides?

Are you thinking about college exams already?

Miyuki.

You got a minute?

You know, the Inashiro vs Ugumori game.

Seido High School Fall Tournament

I want to ask you to take data.

Me?

We're playing at the same time,

so I don't want to force you,

but your Teito data was really helpful to the fielders,

and you'll get better data if you see the game yourself.

At least that's my opinion.

Oh, yeah.

What did you want to talk to me about?

When you came into my class.

Oh, it's really nothing.

Then tell me about it.

I'm, you know...

...not used to this stuff, too.

Oh, right.

I'm not tired or anything!

I get it!

But let's call it a night.

Nori, make sure they take a bath.

They always try to get by with a shower.

Okay.

I—

I wash myself properly!

And—

And I'll take a bath, too!

You're so rude!

Yeah, like how crows dip for a second.

So what if I'm a crow?

It's much better than a bird trapped in a cage, unable to fly!

Is that Crows?

I guess we're too different.

We didn't get into this school with a sports invitation.

I can feel a difference in motivation.

I mean, I've been prepared to spend my entire three years here,

but just...

Are you saying you want to quit?

N-No.

I mean, you have those study guides.

If you truly don't want to be on the team, and you want to focus on studying,

I won't stop you.

I have no right to stop someone who genuinely wants to quit.

No, it's not...

We're not playing baseball for someone else.

We chose it ourselves.

No, that's not it.

At least that's why I play baseball.

That's not what I'm saying.

Hey, Kudo.

What are you doing here?

Well, I couldn't sleep.

You, too?

What's so funny?

I bet Zono would be swinging right now.

Yeah.

In the inside practice area.

Wait! The lights are on!

Are you serious?

Zono's still practicing this late?

Two strikes to the outside,

then an inside right here.

I just need a ball, but if he swings, awesome!

Let's go!

S-Sawamura?

He's crazy.

He's always the last to leave.

From the outside!

Just kidding! Inside!

Now, the batter can't focus on a pitch!

I really respect him.

There's a monster like Furuya so close to him,

but he won't give up on becoming the ace,

and continues to try to grow as a pitcher.

His pitching in the Teito game really gave me power.

Zono-senpai's always acknowledged Eijun-kun.

Sawamura, go back to your room soon!

You're gonna fall asleep in class!

The coach hears about all that stuff!

Y-Yes, sir!

Ten more pitches.

Have I made any progress since then?

Or am I taking steps back?

I can only tell by...

Furuya!

Stop!

You'll make a hole in the ceiling again!

The Day Before the Game

What?

Furuya's playing left field in the next game?

Yes.

I want him to be ready to go any time,

but if he shows any laziness, I'll switch him out immediately.

Is it a penalty for the last game?

That's pretty harsh.

He can still act like the ace, even from left field.

His teammates see everything.

The coach has a lot of expectations for Furuya.

Then who's starting?

Excuse me.

You called for the crippled Sawamura?

Wh-What can I help you with today?

If it's about sleeping through the entire class today,

then I'm deeply repentant.

You did?

Wait! It's not about that?

C-Coach Kataoka!

You don't mean to say...

What do you need from me today?

We have a new lineup for the second round.

We play against Nanamori Academy next.

The starting pitcher for the game is...

Once something happens, it's too late to stop it.
