﻿1
00:00:04,337 --> 00:00:07,382
-Rainy season is over at last.
-The weather is getting warmer.

2
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:09,551
It's the season for outdoor activities.

3
00:00:09,634 --> 00:00:11,052
Let's go somewhere fun.

4
00:00:11,219 --> 00:00:12,721
What shall we do?

5
00:00:12,929 --> 00:00:14,681
How about fishing?

6
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:17,475
That's not a bad idea.
What's there to catch at this time?

7
00:00:17,726 --> 00:00:20,061
Summer is the season
for catching delinquents.

8
00:00:20,311 --> 00:00:22,480
Nagisa can be our bait
to catch those that extort from him.

9
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:24,524
We'll turn the tables on them
and blackmail them.

10
00:00:24,941 --> 00:00:26,943
So there's a season for delinquents too.

11
00:00:28,319 --> 00:00:30,822
-Anything else that's nice?
-What do you think, Nagisa?

12
00:00:30,905 --> 00:00:32,365
Shall we go to the beach?

13
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:38,913
Nice pitching, Captain.

14
00:00:38,997 --> 00:00:41,624
KUNIGIGAOKA JUNIOR HIGH,
BASEBALL CAPTAIN, KAZUTAKA SHINDO

15
00:00:43,042 --> 00:00:44,669
Hello, Tomohito!

16
00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:46,296
I haven't seen you in a while.

17
00:00:46,379 --> 00:00:47,714
-Really?
-It's Tomohito.

18
00:00:47,797 --> 00:00:48,882
-Tomohito.
-Hello.

19
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:50,592
Tomohito.

20
00:00:50,675 --> 00:00:52,760
What's this?
You should come see us occasionally.

21
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:55,096
I felt a little awkward.

22
00:00:55,263 --> 00:00:57,557
Will you be joining
next week's tournament?

23
00:00:58,308 --> 00:01:00,852
I haven't decided yet, but I'd like to.

24
00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:02,979
-We'll be waiting.
-Okay!

25
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:05,773
But I'm envious of you, Tomohito.

26
00:01:05,857 --> 00:01:08,735
You have it easy being in Class E.

27
00:01:08,818 --> 00:01:12,155
We have to study and be at the club.
It's exhausting.

28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,240
Stop it, he'll get offended.

29
00:01:14,824 --> 00:01:16,951
Dealing with assignments
and the club at prep school

30
00:01:17,327 --> 00:01:20,205
is just for the select few.
The rest of us can just forget it.

31
00:01:20,371 --> 00:01:21,873
That's amazing.

32
00:01:22,707 --> 00:01:25,627
You talk like you're one
of the select few.

33
00:01:25,877 --> 00:01:27,337
Indeed, I am.

34
00:01:28,213 --> 00:01:29,506
Are you unhappy with that?

35
00:01:29,672 --> 00:01:32,550
We'll make it clear during the tournament.

36
00:01:33,134 --> 00:01:36,179
Who are the select few
and who are the commoners.

37
00:01:36,763 --> 00:01:40,225
There's already a huge difference
between us in this age.

38
00:02:40,326 --> 00:02:44,122
EPISODE 12

39
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:49,794
Inter-class ball match?

40
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:54,590
It's wonderful that you're nurturing
healthy minds and bodies through sports.

41
00:02:54,924 --> 00:02:59,137
But why isn't Class E included?

42
00:02:59,303 --> 00:03:01,472
Class E isn't included in matches

43
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:04,308
for the grandiose reason
that there'll be an odd number.

44
00:03:04,726 --> 00:03:05,643
On the other hand,

45
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:08,354
we'll take part in an exhibition match
at the end of the tournament.

46
00:03:08,646 --> 00:03:09,981
Exhibition match?

47
00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:11,899
In short, it's nothing but a show.

48
00:03:12,275 --> 00:03:14,068
As the entire school watches,

49
00:03:14,235 --> 00:03:17,530
we'll be playing against the baseball club
and the girls basketball club.

50
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:20,783
Is that so? So it's the same as always.

51
00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:21,909
That's right.

52
00:03:22,827 --> 00:03:24,871
We don't want to be made a laughing stock.

53
00:03:25,288 --> 00:03:27,373
You can deal with it yourself.

54
00:03:27,707 --> 00:03:30,168
-Bye.
-Wait, Ryoma.

55
00:03:31,043 --> 00:03:32,003
Seriously...

56
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:35,339
Tomohito is our only hope
where baseball is concerned.

57
00:03:35,506 --> 00:03:37,216
Do you have any secrets to winning?

58
00:03:38,342 --> 00:03:39,343
It's impossible.

59
00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:42,221
Our school's baseball team is formidable.

60
00:03:43,347 --> 00:03:45,641
Especially the present captain, Kazutaka.

61
00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:49,604
His fastballs even caught the attention
of prestigious high schools.

62
00:03:50,313 --> 00:03:53,483
He excels in both sports and studies.
It's so unfair.

63
00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:56,152
But...

64
00:03:56,903 --> 00:03:58,362
I still want to win, Mr. Koro.

65
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:01,032
Not just a draw, but win.

66
00:04:02,074 --> 00:04:03,826
I don't want to lose at baseball.
I love it.

67
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:06,662
After I was kicked out from the club
and came to Class E,

68
00:04:07,163 --> 00:04:08,998
my desire to win has grown stronger.

69
00:04:12,001 --> 00:04:15,546
-I want to team up with them and win...
-It's so exciting.

70
00:04:17,215 --> 00:04:20,009
It's obvious that Mr. Koro
wants to play baseball too.

71
00:04:21,385 --> 00:04:25,139
I've always wanted to be
a hot-headed coach in a sports manga.

72
00:04:25,348 --> 00:04:28,601
I won't beat you all.
I'll flip tables instead.

73
00:04:28,684 --> 00:04:30,061
You've prepared meticulously.

74
00:04:30,728 --> 00:04:32,104
All of you

75
00:04:32,313 --> 00:04:35,441
have become more vocal
about your objectives lately.

76
00:04:35,858 --> 00:04:37,777
Whether it is killing or winning.

77
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:39,820
Not wavering in the face of difficulty.

78
00:04:40,363 --> 00:04:41,948
To reward that fighting spirit,

79
00:04:42,031 --> 00:04:45,785
Coach Koro will provide you
with the training and the strategy to win.

80
00:04:46,744 --> 00:04:48,955
The ball is struck!

81
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,915
Center fielder intercepted it easily.

82
00:04:50,998 --> 00:04:52,875
It's the end of the match!

83
00:04:53,167 --> 00:04:56,504
Class A wins the Junior Baseball Match.

84
00:04:58,089 --> 00:04:59,423
What a terrible defeat.

85
00:05:00,466 --> 00:05:02,426
Let's watch the next game and forget this.

86
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:04,804
Those kids are far worse than we are.

87
00:05:04,929 --> 00:05:07,431
They'll suffer greater humiliation.

88
00:05:10,017 --> 00:05:14,981
Lastly, it's the exhibition match
between Class E and the baseball club.

89
00:05:16,607 --> 00:05:19,819
Only the scholastic and sports elites

90
00:05:20,027 --> 00:05:22,446
are worthy to be among the select few.

91
00:05:22,697 --> 00:05:24,699
This is what I call
a fine scholar and soldier.

92
00:05:26,158 --> 00:05:29,745
You're neither. You're not chosen.

93
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:33,082
-Let's play!
-Yes!

94
00:05:33,249 --> 00:05:35,918
Why are they so enthusiastic?

95
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:38,129
And where's Coach Koro?

96
00:05:38,254 --> 00:05:40,589
-Isn't he coming out to lead us?
-He's over there.

97
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:44,260
Tadaomi told him
not to draw too much attention.

98
00:05:44,343 --> 00:05:46,429
So he's using distance
to look like a ball.

99
00:05:46,637 --> 00:05:48,639
He said he'll use
his face color to signal us.

100
00:05:48,723 --> 00:05:50,224
He'll attract more attention that way.

101
00:05:55,771 --> 00:05:56,647
What is he saying?

102
00:05:56,731 --> 00:05:59,025
-Hello, Mr. Koro.
-Let me see.

103
00:05:59,191 --> 00:06:00,985
He said,
"Play like you're determined to kill."

104
00:06:02,069 --> 00:06:03,029
He said it right.

105
00:06:03,362 --> 00:06:05,614
We have a far greater objective.

106
00:06:06,115 --> 00:06:09,326
If we can't beat them,
we won't be able to kill Mr. Koro.

107
00:06:09,910 --> 00:06:11,662
Okay, let's slay them.

108
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:12,747
Yes!

109
00:06:14,623 --> 00:06:16,542
Come on, let's give them a taste
of baseball from hell,

110
00:06:16,667 --> 00:06:19,920
with a killer's mind and tentacles.

111
00:06:20,212 --> 00:06:22,840
Class E is on the offensive
in the first inning.

112
00:06:22,923 --> 00:06:24,508
Masayoshi is the third baseman,
first batter.

113
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:26,218
Strike!

114
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:29,221
That junior high student
throws a really fast ball.

115
00:06:29,305 --> 00:06:31,348
I hear the speed
goes up to 140km per hour.

116
00:06:31,432 --> 00:06:34,393
What? 140km?
That's like a professional player.

117
00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:37,188
The home team's dominance is too great.

118
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:42,568
Understood.

119
00:06:42,943 --> 00:06:44,445
I'm ready!

120
00:06:44,528 --> 00:06:46,906
The batter looks enthusiastic.

121
00:06:46,989 --> 00:06:49,283
The three batters of the first half
will be struck out.

122
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:51,577
We'll get ten rounds in the next half
before the game ends.

123
00:06:52,369 --> 00:06:54,455
-A pile of garbage.
-Kazutaka is going for the second pitch.

124
00:06:54,538 --> 00:06:55,372
He's bunting for a hit!

125
00:06:55,873 --> 00:06:58,417
-What?
-That was unexpected.

126
00:06:58,626 --> 00:07:00,878
Masayoshi is Class E's top sprinter.

127
00:07:01,170 --> 00:07:03,839
As long as he caught them off guard,
he should easily reach first base.

128
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:06,342
-He touched base. Didn't expect that.
-Awesome!

129
00:07:07,676 --> 00:07:08,761
What a petty trick.

130
00:07:08,844 --> 00:07:11,263
Second batter, Nagisa.

131
00:07:14,683 --> 00:07:16,644
-It's a push bunt!
-Damn it!

132
00:07:17,603 --> 00:07:19,563
They're strong,
but they're still junior high students.

133
00:07:19,647 --> 00:07:22,274
They can't deal with bunt hits
like the professionals.

134
00:07:22,358 --> 00:07:23,859
He got the ball, but he can't throw it.

135
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:25,945
There are no outs.
He got first and second base!

136
00:07:26,153 --> 00:07:27,738
What?

137
00:07:28,239 --> 00:07:30,991
Hey, I feel like this match
has become weird.

138
00:07:31,075 --> 00:07:32,076
How can it be?

139
00:07:32,326 --> 00:07:35,538
To get a fastball thrown by Kazutaka
to the desired direction

140
00:07:35,663 --> 00:07:36,997
is almost impossible.

141
00:07:37,248 --> 00:07:38,874
-Third batter, Yuma.
-What do you think?

142
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:41,627
We've been training against that.

143
00:07:42,503 --> 00:07:45,548
Pitcher Koro threw fastballs
at 300km per hour.

144
00:07:45,631 --> 00:07:48,008
Infielder Koro used clones
to set up well-fortified defenses.

145
00:07:48,092 --> 00:07:50,469
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

146
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:54,014
Catcher Koro used whispering tactics
to distract the batter.

147
00:07:54,223 --> 00:07:56,642
You secretly played guitar
behind the school.

148
00:07:56,725 --> 00:07:58,936
You played so energetically, Koki.

149
00:07:59,019 --> 00:08:01,981
-I can't go on.
-Next, we study our opponents.

150
00:08:02,356 --> 00:08:05,985
I got Kotaro to spy on them
for three days.

151
00:08:06,402 --> 00:08:07,695
That was troublesome.

152
00:08:08,153 --> 00:08:11,240
Kazutaka's fastest fastball
is 140,5km per hour.

153
00:08:11,448 --> 00:08:13,492
He can only throw
fastballs and curveballs.

154
00:08:13,659 --> 00:08:16,453
During practice,
90% of his throws are fastballs.

155
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:19,707
He needs to throw those fastballs.

156
00:08:19,873 --> 00:08:21,750
That's all he needs to do to win.

157
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:23,711
That's true, but in a way,

158
00:08:23,794 --> 00:08:26,463
as long as we can handle that fastball,
we should be able to win.

159
00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:29,008
So for the next practice,

160
00:08:29,091 --> 00:08:32,136
I'll throw fastballs the same way
Kazutaka throws them.

161
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:36,015
I'll also throw slow balls
the way Kazutaka does.

162
00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:38,934
After you've seen how I pitch,

163
00:08:39,768 --> 00:08:42,771
the pitches he throws
will seem like it's not moving.

164
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,524
Another bunt.

165
00:08:45,607 --> 00:08:49,320
So if it's just bunts,
you'll know how to deal with them.

166
00:08:50,029 --> 00:08:51,280
A fair ball!

167
00:08:51,363 --> 00:08:53,866
It stopped just within the line!

168
00:08:53,991 --> 00:08:55,993
The third batter, Yuma,
can reach the base safely.

169
00:08:56,076 --> 00:08:57,453
All bases are occupied.

170
00:08:57,536 --> 00:08:59,663
No one got sent off,
but all bases are occupied.

171
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:02,416
Could it be that Kazutaka
is not at his best?

172
00:09:02,541 --> 00:09:04,960
Pitcher four, Tomohito.

173
00:09:05,169 --> 00:09:06,628
Tomohito.

174
00:09:12,259 --> 00:09:13,135
Begin.

175
00:09:13,218 --> 00:09:15,095
The match begins again.

176
00:09:15,262 --> 00:09:17,806
The same bunt position.

177
00:09:18,265 --> 00:09:19,933
What?

178
00:09:20,601 --> 00:09:22,144
What's with these kids?

179
00:09:23,187 --> 00:09:24,605
Am I really

180
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:26,732
playing baseball now?

181
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,361
My abilities are nothing
compared to yours.

182
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:32,613
But even though I'm weak,

183
00:09:33,322 --> 00:09:35,074
as long as I aim well when I strike,

184
00:09:36,033 --> 00:09:38,077
I can still defeat

185
00:09:39,161 --> 00:09:40,162
the strongest of them all.

186
00:09:40,412 --> 00:09:41,663
It's a hit!

187
00:09:41,747 --> 00:09:44,166
The ball has sailed
into the center of the right field.

188
00:09:44,249 --> 00:09:47,419
Following the runner on second base,
the first runner also heads for home base.

189
00:09:47,503 --> 00:09:49,296
How can this happen?

190
00:09:49,588 --> 00:09:51,173
Tomohito is also heading for third base.

191
00:09:51,256 --> 00:09:53,675
-All bases cleared with three-base hits.
-Awesome!

192
00:09:53,884 --> 00:09:56,178
What's happening here?
It's totally unimaginable.

193
00:09:56,512 --> 00:09:59,765
-Class E scores three points.
-This is not good.

194
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:03,060
Kiyoshi, you don't look too good.

195
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:05,604
Are you not feeling well?

196
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,148
You should go rest now.

197
00:10:08,524 --> 00:10:10,150
Otherwise, the club members
will be so worried.

198
00:10:10,234 --> 00:10:11,777
They won't be at their best.

199
00:10:12,319 --> 00:10:14,279
There's no need for that, sir.

200
00:10:14,488 --> 00:10:17,658
-I'd like to stay here...
-It's good that you're not well.

201
00:10:18,242 --> 00:10:22,329
If you were not sick,
you won't be able to stay in my school

202
00:10:22,913 --> 00:10:25,749
after such a disgraceful
performance as a coach.

203
00:10:27,209 --> 00:10:29,545
You have a high fever.

204
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,464
-Take Kiyoshi to the medical room.
-Yes.

205
00:10:32,965 --> 00:10:35,551
Meanwhile, I'll take over as the coach.

206
00:10:35,884 --> 00:10:37,678
What will you do?

207
00:10:39,179 --> 00:10:40,389
What will I do?

208
00:10:40,889 --> 00:10:43,642
I just want to give them
a little lesson, that's all.

209
00:10:50,274 --> 00:10:54,152
-Too bad.
-Yes, we'll have our revenge next time.

210
00:10:54,403 --> 00:10:57,322
Sorry, I dragged everyone down.

211
00:10:57,489 --> 00:10:59,741
-No, you didn't.
-Don't worry too much.

212
00:11:00,325 --> 00:11:02,035
I wonder how the boys are coping.

213
00:11:05,247 --> 00:11:06,707
Director.

214
00:11:07,374 --> 00:11:10,127
It's just the first half of the game,
but the big boss has already shown up.

215
00:11:10,294 --> 00:11:13,005
According to the latest information
I just received,

216
00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:16,842
Kiyoshi, the baseball club's consultant,
fell ill just before the match.

217
00:11:17,009 --> 00:11:21,013
Worrying about their teacher, the players
couldn't concentrate on the match.

218
00:11:21,346 --> 00:11:23,473
The director couldn't
just sit back and watch.

219
00:11:23,557 --> 00:11:25,392
So he hurried out to lead the players.

220
00:11:26,518 --> 00:11:29,730
-Batter five, second baseman, Hiroto.
-The match has started again.

221
00:11:29,896 --> 00:11:31,315
What will happen next...

222
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:33,775
What's going on here?

223
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:35,402
All players are defending the inner field.

224
00:11:35,944 --> 00:11:38,530
They found out that we only know
how to bunt.

225
00:11:38,614 --> 00:11:41,199
Even so, they can't come
so close in defense.

226
00:11:41,325 --> 00:11:44,828
The rule book says as long as it's within
the boundaries, they can defend anywhere.

227
00:11:45,287 --> 00:11:48,040
Unless the umpire feels otherwise.

228
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:50,500
But the umpire is on their side.

229
00:11:50,751 --> 00:11:52,794
-We can't expect him to help us.
-Okay.

230
00:11:53,086 --> 00:11:54,755
We change the direction of this match.

231
00:11:55,547 --> 00:11:57,424
I hear Tomohito of Class E

232
00:11:57,799 --> 00:12:00,260
joined the team of a municipal club.

233
00:12:00,594 --> 00:12:02,471
He works hard,

234
00:12:03,347 --> 00:12:04,806
but so what?

235
00:12:05,432 --> 00:12:07,142
Everybody works hard.

236
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,771
You are one of the select few
and you have another mission.

237
00:12:11,646 --> 00:12:13,190
From now on,

238
00:12:13,398 --> 00:12:18,195
you have to step on a lot of opponents
like them to move forward.

239
00:12:18,820 --> 00:12:20,989
It's better if you don't consider this
as a baseball match.

240
00:12:21,365 --> 00:12:25,410
You should just step on ten
of those thousands of opponents.

241
00:12:25,994 --> 00:12:28,580
Come, let's get started on your task.

242
00:12:31,249 --> 00:12:32,626
He hit it!

243
00:12:32,709 --> 00:12:35,045
Was Hiroto cowed by pressure
from the infielders?

244
00:12:35,128 --> 00:12:36,505
One of them is out.

245
00:12:37,005 --> 00:12:39,091
-Batter six, center fielder, Taiga.
-This is not a joke.

246
00:12:39,174 --> 00:12:42,761
The bunts will have no effect now.
Coach Koro, what do we do now?

247
00:12:45,389 --> 00:12:46,973
Is there no other way?

248
00:12:47,808 --> 00:12:49,476
Strike three, batter out!

249
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:52,396
Strike three, batter out!

250
00:12:52,646 --> 00:12:54,815
Three players out in a flash.

251
00:12:54,898 --> 00:12:57,442
Pitcher Kazutaka has recovered.

252
00:12:57,567 --> 00:12:59,319
That's the way, Kazutaka.

253
00:12:59,778 --> 00:13:02,322
Just keep throwing four-seam fastballs.

254
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:05,700
Enlarge your movements,
make your opponents feel pressured.

255
00:13:05,992 --> 00:13:08,411
-Yes!
-Let me advise you all again.

256
00:13:08,703 --> 00:13:10,247
This is not a baseball game.

257
00:13:10,705 --> 00:13:12,958
This is a work of
stepping on your opponents.

258
00:13:13,208 --> 00:13:14,167
Yes!

259
00:13:14,251 --> 00:13:16,336
-Let's turn the game in our favor!
-Okay!

260
00:13:16,837 --> 00:13:19,464
That man is a skilled teacher.

261
00:13:19,923 --> 00:13:22,717
Not only does he remember
his students' appearance and ability,

262
00:13:22,926 --> 00:13:26,096
but he also excels at teaching
and motivating his students.

263
00:13:27,097 --> 00:13:29,057
Both their methods are very similar.

264
00:13:29,432 --> 00:13:30,684
But then,

265
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:33,562
what makes them so different
from the other teachers?

266
00:13:34,271 --> 00:13:36,064
The confrontation between these two people

267
00:13:36,565 --> 00:13:37,941
is quite interesting to me.

268
00:13:38,483 --> 00:13:39,901
I understand now, Tadaomi.

269
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:41,570
The ball and the bat have to...

270
00:13:41,653 --> 00:13:44,364
Batter one, left fielder, Hashimoto.

271
00:13:44,447 --> 00:13:45,323
Begin.

272
00:13:45,490 --> 00:13:47,742
It's Tomohito's first throw. He throws.

273
00:13:49,494 --> 00:13:51,413
-Amazing.
-Breaking pitch.

274
00:13:51,496 --> 00:13:53,123
Don't let them hit the ball, Tomohito.

275
00:13:53,248 --> 00:13:55,792
We don't have the confidence
to catch the ball when it comes.

276
00:13:56,793 --> 00:13:57,919
I understand.

277
00:13:58,044 --> 00:14:01,047
Repeat after me. I'm very strong.

278
00:14:01,506 --> 00:14:03,466
I'll wind up and throw hard.

279
00:14:03,842 --> 00:14:05,051
"I'm very strong.

280
00:14:05,343 --> 00:14:07,429
I will wind up and throw hard."

281
00:14:07,554 --> 00:14:09,264
I'll overpower you with my strength.

282
00:14:09,514 --> 00:14:11,182
"I'll overpower you with my strength."

283
00:14:11,308 --> 00:14:12,517
I will trample them.

284
00:14:12,726 --> 00:14:13,894
"I will trample them."

285
00:14:13,977 --> 00:14:16,438
-Two players out in a row.
-Karma.

286
00:14:16,605 --> 00:14:19,316
Coach Koro,
don't come out from under my feet.

287
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:20,650
Do you want me to step on you?

288
00:14:22,402 --> 00:14:24,404
You'll be the first batter
in the next game.

289
00:14:24,529 --> 00:14:26,948
Try to provoke your opponents.

290
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,036
It's the first half of the second inning.
They are still using the bunt defense.

291
00:14:31,202 --> 00:14:33,955
Batter eight, left fielder, Karma.

292
00:14:34,998 --> 00:14:37,542
-What's up? Hurry up and go bat.
-Hey.

293
00:14:38,001 --> 00:14:40,503
Sir, isn't this a bit sneaky?

294
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:43,924
Having these guys in defense
is a nuisance.

295
00:14:44,257 --> 00:14:47,135
But the umpire hasn't uttered a word.

296
00:14:47,719 --> 00:14:50,013
Don't you think this is strange?

297
00:14:50,430 --> 00:14:52,015
I understand now.

298
00:14:52,098 --> 00:14:55,852
You're all too stupid to understand
what defense positions are.

299
00:14:55,977 --> 00:14:58,438
Stop talking already, Class E student.

300
00:14:58,521 --> 00:15:01,900
This is just an exhibition match.
Stop complaining about the defense.

301
00:15:02,025 --> 00:15:04,069
Coach, it doesn't look effective.

302
00:15:04,277 --> 00:15:05,904
That's okay.

303
00:15:06,029 --> 00:15:09,074
We just need to protest
loudly and clearly.

304
00:15:09,282 --> 00:15:12,535
It's the first half of second game.
Class E is helpless with three outs.

305
00:15:14,621 --> 00:15:17,999
He hits the ball. It's flying really low.
The ball hit the fence!

306
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:20,168
He couldn't catch the bounce.

307
00:15:20,251 --> 00:15:23,129
Kazutaka easily makes it
to the second base.

308
00:15:23,213 --> 00:15:25,090
Thank you, Mr. Koro.

309
00:15:25,423 --> 00:15:27,676
You cooperated with me
in this style of teaching.

310
00:15:28,051 --> 00:15:30,804
The weak ones try to win
by using sneaky tricks,

311
00:15:31,137 --> 00:15:33,890
but the formidable ones
could easily overcome them.

312
00:15:34,432 --> 00:15:38,103
Which do you think
the students want to become?

313
00:15:39,437 --> 00:15:41,606
Strike three, batter out!

314
00:15:41,856 --> 00:15:43,108
Third game, second half.

315
00:15:43,191 --> 00:15:46,027
It's the baseball club's last offensive.

316
00:15:46,694 --> 00:15:48,613
-Hashimoto.
-Yes.

317
00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:50,532
Give them a demonstration.

318
00:15:52,534 --> 00:15:54,369
He's bunting for a hit.

319
00:15:54,452 --> 00:15:56,830
-No!
-It's Class E's turn to be tormented.

320
00:15:57,205 --> 00:15:59,374
-Sorry.
-It's okay, no worries.

321
00:15:59,749 --> 00:16:02,502
The baseball club
and amateurs are bunting.

322
00:16:03,044 --> 00:16:05,463
Students who are watching
would usually protest.

323
00:16:05,964 --> 00:16:08,842
But you were the ones who used it first.

324
00:16:08,925 --> 00:16:10,969
-It has given us a good excuse.
-No.

325
00:16:11,553 --> 00:16:13,680
So we want to show you how it's done.

326
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:15,390
No outs, all bases occupied.

327
00:16:15,473 --> 00:16:19,185
The next batter is the pride of our school
and baseball superstar.

328
00:16:20,103 --> 00:16:22,105
Kazutaka!

329
00:16:22,313 --> 00:16:24,107
I will trample them.

330
00:16:24,691 --> 00:16:26,192
Tomohito.

331
00:16:26,901 --> 00:16:29,362
To stage this for the last round,

332
00:16:29,571 --> 00:16:31,865
I started nurturing him
from the first game itself.

333
00:16:32,490 --> 00:16:34,659
A bunt won't determine who wins,

334
00:16:34,993 --> 00:16:37,203
but the mighty swing of the leader will
as he hits the ball.

335
00:16:37,996 --> 00:16:41,749
Okay, what trick will you use,
assassins' class teacher?

336
00:16:43,626 --> 00:16:47,505
Karma, it's time to use
the provocation like earlier.

337
00:16:48,882 --> 00:16:50,758
So that's how it is.

338
00:16:51,426 --> 00:16:53,761
Looks like we can only recommend Kazutaka.

339
00:16:53,845 --> 00:16:56,181
Hey, I just got the instructions
from the coach.

340
00:16:56,598 --> 00:16:58,349
The game has started again.

341
00:16:58,558 --> 00:16:59,517
But

342
00:17:00,226 --> 00:17:02,645
the defense has gone forward.

343
00:17:03,062 --> 00:17:06,941
Obviously, we're trying to distract you.

344
00:17:07,233 --> 00:17:09,110
When they were doing that just now,

345
00:17:09,277 --> 00:17:11,696
the umpire didn't protest.

346
00:17:12,071 --> 00:17:13,990
So it's not a problem. Right, sir?

347
00:17:14,574 --> 00:17:15,658
I see.

348
00:17:16,242 --> 00:17:18,369
Good for you.
But that's just a petty trick.

349
00:17:19,537 --> 00:17:20,496
Do as you please.

350
00:17:20,788 --> 00:17:23,917
The chosen ones won't be flustered
by defense positions.

351
00:17:24,167 --> 00:17:27,128
The opponents said it.
We'll go ahead with it then.

352
00:17:29,464 --> 00:17:30,757
That's too close.

353
00:17:31,049 --> 00:17:33,384
That's not a close-range defense.
It's a point-blank defense.

354
00:17:33,468 --> 00:17:35,595
They'd be hit by the bat at this distance.

355
00:17:36,054 --> 00:17:38,306
Just hit it, superstar.

356
00:17:38,514 --> 00:17:40,850
We won't block the pitch.

357
00:17:42,018 --> 00:17:43,519
What a boring bravado.

358
00:17:44,103 --> 00:17:46,105
Just hit the ball, Kazutaka.

359
00:17:46,731 --> 00:17:48,024
Even if you break their bones,

360
00:17:48,107 --> 00:17:50,735
Class E will still receive
a penalty for obstructing.

361
00:17:52,362 --> 00:17:54,072
How dare they belittle me.

362
00:17:54,489 --> 00:17:56,240
As long as I swing hard,

363
00:17:56,783 --> 00:17:58,534
they'll definitely jump back with fright!

364
00:18:01,412 --> 00:18:02,288
Strike!

365
00:18:03,331 --> 00:18:05,416
It seemed like they hardly moved
to evade the swing.

366
00:18:06,125 --> 00:18:07,961
These two are the best in our class

367
00:18:08,044 --> 00:18:09,671
in terms of bravery
and dynamic visual acuity.

368
00:18:10,171 --> 00:18:13,424
Compared to bunts,
dodging bats is a piece of cake.

369
00:18:14,467 --> 00:18:16,761
That won't do. Your swing is too slow.

370
00:18:17,595 --> 00:18:18,888
Next time,

371
00:18:20,473 --> 00:18:22,517
swing your bat with a desire to kill.

372
00:18:23,184 --> 00:18:24,977
At this point,

373
00:18:25,269 --> 00:18:28,523
Kazutaka is physically unable
to keep up with the director's strategy.

374
00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:30,400
The runners and the spectators

375
00:18:30,733 --> 00:18:34,445
were overwhelmed by this weird display
that's supposed to be a baseball game.

376
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,076
Nagisa!

377
00:18:40,576 --> 00:18:41,619
-Out!
-To third base now!

378
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:43,830
-Out!
-Masayoshi.

379
00:18:43,913 --> 00:18:44,956
Proceed to first base!

380
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:47,208
No need to rush,
the runner is not running.

381
00:18:47,291 --> 00:18:48,209
Okay.

382
00:18:49,335 --> 00:18:50,294
Out!

383
00:18:50,878 --> 00:18:53,506
Three strikes. Game over.

384
00:18:54,006 --> 00:18:56,634
Unbelievable.

385
00:18:57,009 --> 00:18:59,929
Class E actually beat the baseball club!

386
00:19:00,388 --> 00:19:02,348
What's this? It's so boring.

387
00:19:02,432 --> 00:19:05,101
The baseball club actually lost
to those Class E students.

388
00:19:05,184 --> 00:19:07,979
With such a vast difference in ability,
they still lost.

389
00:19:09,021 --> 00:19:11,732
The spectators must have not known

390
00:19:12,066 --> 00:19:13,317
that behind the scenes,

391
00:19:13,609 --> 00:19:17,363
the two coaches were in combat
with their strategies.

392
00:19:17,864 --> 00:19:21,492
Taking the midterms into account,
it's one win, one loss.

393
00:19:21,868 --> 00:19:24,078
Next time,
we'll settle it with the finals.

394
00:19:25,913 --> 00:19:26,873
Kazutaka.

395
00:19:28,916 --> 00:19:31,794
Sorry for making it
such a messy ball game.

396
00:19:32,253 --> 00:19:33,588
But I just want you to know.

397
00:19:34,172 --> 00:19:36,924
As a baseball player,
I'm no match for you.

398
00:19:37,842 --> 00:19:40,136
I don't consider this a victory.

399
00:19:41,929 --> 00:19:42,972
If that is the case,

400
00:19:43,598 --> 00:19:45,725
why did you go that far just to win?

401
00:19:46,434 --> 00:19:49,729
Isn't it because you want to use it
to prove that you're stronger?

402
00:19:52,482 --> 00:19:53,483
It's because

403
00:19:53,941 --> 00:19:56,777
Nagisa kept me company
while I practiced those breaking balls.

404
00:19:57,278 --> 00:19:59,322
Karma and Yuma have great reflexes.

405
00:19:59,655 --> 00:20:02,658
Don't you think
everyone's bunts were great?

406
00:20:03,326 --> 00:20:07,079
But if we didn't win,
you wouldn't have noticed these things.

407
00:20:07,914 --> 00:20:09,123
To put simply,

408
00:20:09,582 --> 00:20:11,459
I just wanted to show off a little.

409
00:20:11,876 --> 00:20:15,254
I wanted my old friends to see
what my new friends are like.

410
00:20:18,466 --> 00:20:19,967
Tomohito, remember this.

411
00:20:20,384 --> 00:20:22,303
Our next ball game will be in high school.

412
00:20:22,386 --> 00:20:23,262
Goodness!

413
00:20:23,721 --> 00:20:26,265
The Earth needs to exist
for us to go to high school.

414
00:20:26,432 --> 00:20:27,350
What's the matter?

415
00:20:27,892 --> 00:20:29,810
It's nothing.
