1
00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:06,860
Hanshin Koshien Stadium
2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,510
It's the eighth day of
the spring invitational at Koshien Stadium.
3
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:14,910
Several powerhouse schools
have been sent home,
4
00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:16,370
Seido
Nihon Shono
5
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:17,420
while the next generation of
players display their skills.
6
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:20,960
One pitcher among them threw
a 171 km/h pitch in the first round
7
00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:23,170
and made a name for himself!
8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,180
There! 154!
9
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:39,460
On the very first pitch!
10
00:00:39,460 --> 00:00:40,870
The sound it made was just sick!
11
00:00:40,870 --> 00:00:42,070
What is that guy?!
12
00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:44,890
You look relaxed today.
13
00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:47,310
I guess you're getting used to pitching here.
14
00:00:47,790 --> 00:00:51,190
Seido High School's second-year ace,
Satoru Furuya,
15
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:54,520
creates another monster legend
in Koshien Stadium!
16
00:00:55,310 --> 00:00:57,070
154...
17
00:00:57,070 --> 00:00:59,040
That's insane!
18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,910
Satoru Furuya...
19
00:01:00,910 --> 00:01:02,670
And he's a stud, too!
20
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:37,010
Bottom of the 3rd
21
00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:38,760
Seido
Nihon Shono
22
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:43,380
His pitches are nuts.
23
00:02:51,550 --> 00:02:52,530
Ball!
24
00:02:53,310 --> 00:02:54,020
Ball!
25
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,890
He's having trouble controlling his pitches.
26
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,900
The batters are crowding the plate.
27
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,610
There was that hit-by-pitch
in the last inning.
28
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:08,750
Still, standing there with those
blazing fastballs takes guts.
29
00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:18,370
Even Furuya's pitches
can't overwhelm their swings.
30
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,650
Give them an easy one,
and it'll disappear!
31
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,590
Out!
32
00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:31,190
Three outs!
33
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:32,370
Two runners left on base!
34
00:03:32,730 --> 00:03:36,490
Nihon Shono couldn't score off
Furuya this inning, either!
35
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,980
He was throwing too hard in the first inning,
maybe because he was focusing on speed,
36
00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:43,900
but he seems to have settled into a rhythm.
37
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:44,760
Yeah.
38
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,750
His low pitches are looking good.
39
00:03:47,230 --> 00:03:49,880
He's also mixing in splitters and sliders.
40
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,380
And Miyuki-kun's game calling isn't letting
the powerful Shono zero in on any pitches.
41
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,870
He's facing a powerhouse school trying
various means to break through,
42
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:03,620
but he's been able to pitch
the way he wants with confidence.
43
00:04:05,770 --> 00:04:09,270
With his thin frame, he had
a rough time in the summer.
44
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,700
He gained more experience after
receiving the ace number in the fall.
45
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:19,210
And now at Koshien Stadium,
46
00:04:19,210 --> 00:04:22,600
Furuya-kun may grow even more.
47
00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:27,820
Nice pitching, Furuya!
48
00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:30,850
You're looking good,
but don't let your guard down!
49
00:04:30,850 --> 00:04:34,860
Nabe-san says the second time through
the order is when things really get tough!
50
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:39,490
If you just watch the speed gun and ignore
the batters, you'll get into trouble!
51
00:04:39,490 --> 00:04:40,710
I'm not watching it.
52
00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:42,050
Yes, you were!
53
00:04:42,050 --> 00:04:44,030
You were all happy during the first inning!
54
00:04:44,030 --> 00:04:45,140
I'm not watching it anymore.
55
00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:48,790
Even Miyuki-senpai's getting on my case.
Can you two give it a rest?
56
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:51,130
Because you were so pleased with yourself!
57
00:04:51,130 --> 00:04:52,840
Drop it. Let's get going.
58
00:04:53,310 --> 00:04:54,420
Don't worry!
59
00:04:54,420 --> 00:04:56,780
If your pitching goes off the rails,
I'm here to relieve you!
60
00:04:56,780 --> 00:04:57,860
It won't!
61
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,420
Shut up.
62
00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:04,720
They're talking to each other more now.
Especially Furuya.
63
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,370
They had the same training
schedule in the off-season.
64
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,640
And they're not just bickering.
65
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,870
They're even exchanging information
about the other team.
66
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:14,580
Okay, all ready!
67
00:05:14,580 --> 00:05:15,740
Go swing on the first pitch!
68
00:05:15,740 --> 00:05:17,250
You struck out on your last at-bat,
69
00:05:17,410 --> 00:05:20,250
so he'll try for a first-pitch strike.
Knock it out of the park!
70
00:05:21,250 --> 00:05:22,330
Furuya!
71
00:05:24,690 --> 00:05:26,710
You have the ace number now,
72
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:29,850
but I'm going to take it.
73
00:05:33,650 --> 00:05:34,750
I won't let you.
74
00:05:35,980 --> 00:05:37,770
Each acknowledges the other
75
00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:40,330
while still trying to improve.
76
00:05:40,330 --> 00:05:44,140
Eijun-kun and Furuya-kun make good rivals.
77
00:06:09,610 --> 00:06:11,640
Only one hit from seven at-bats.
78
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,100
Haruichi Kominato
Koshien Record
7 at-bats, 1 hit
79
00:06:14,350 --> 00:06:15,380
I need to do better.
80
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,390
He swings at the first pitch!
81
00:06:21,390 --> 00:06:24,020
Cleanup Miyuki gets a two-base hit!
82
00:06:25,470 --> 00:06:27,400
The first pitch was a curve ball,
as I expected.
83
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:29,750
He expected that.
84
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,830
Seido
Nihon Shono
85
00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:33,910
Top of the fourth, with a
runner on second and one out.
86
00:06:33,910 --> 00:06:35,570
Seido has a chance to take the lead.
87
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:47,490
It's gone!
88
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:50,460
It's a two-run homer into left field!
89
00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:52,800
A rocket from a true slugger!
90
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,840
Satoru Furuya is exploding at Koshien!
91
00:06:55,840 --> 00:06:57,220
This'll be on the front page!
92
00:06:57,220 --> 00:06:58,730
That's his ticket to stardom!
93
00:06:58,730 --> 00:07:00,630
That was just a fluke.
94
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:03,100
Even so, it was great.
95
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:06,320
Man, Seido's Furuya is a monster.
96
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,830
Satoru Furuya?
97
00:07:07,830 --> 00:07:10,730
Did you hear that he's from Tomakomai?
98
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:13,120
Really? Then why's he in Tokyo?
99
00:07:13,740 --> 00:07:18,250
Seido
Nihon Shono
100
00:07:14,530 --> 00:07:17,650
Seido High School added one run
in the top of the seventh,
101
00:07:17,650 --> 00:07:21,990
and then Kawakami took the mound for Furuya.
102
00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:23,910
Furuya went to play left field.
103
00:07:23,910 --> 00:07:25,240
Shocked
104
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:29,160
So Coach Kataoka is swapping
Kawakami in as pitcher.
105
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,260
He wants Furuya rested for tomorrow's match.
106
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:39,810
He connects!
107
00:07:39,810 --> 00:07:42,300
It's an RBI hit into short left field!
108
00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:45,810
Seido
Nihon Shono
109
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,360
A hit and a walk bring Shono
within two runs of Seido!
110
00:07:46,010 --> 00:07:49,370
You look so nervous, and your
pitches have nothing in them.
111
00:07:49,370 --> 00:07:52,060
You're pitching at Koshien Stadium.
112
00:07:52,060 --> 00:07:53,460
Are you satisfied with this, Nori?
113
00:07:54,450 --> 00:07:57,730
Of course not. I'm going to shut them down.
114
00:07:59,930 --> 00:08:01,320
I thought so.
115
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,120
There's no better stage to pitch your best.
116
00:08:08,650 --> 00:08:09,770
Damn it.
117
00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:12,710
I don't like Miyuki needing to pump me up.
118
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,230
But he's right.
119
00:08:19,370 --> 00:08:21,820
I'm pitching...
120
00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:25,020
in this grand stadium!
121
00:08:30,130 --> 00:08:31,400
Out!
122
00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:33,950
Three outs!
123
00:08:33,950 --> 00:08:35,580
That was tough grounder to field!
124
00:08:35,580 --> 00:08:38,480
The fielders definitely have
reliever Kawakami's back!
125
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,740
Nice grab!
126
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,080
You can let them hit more, Nori.
127
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,640
Okay. I'm good now.
128
00:08:50,370 --> 00:08:52,290
Let's go, Shirasu!
129
00:08:52,290 --> 00:08:54,970
Time to add another run!
130
00:08:54,970 --> 00:08:57,180
Hit, Shirasu!
131
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:05,600
Yeah!
132
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:08,080
The bottom of Seido's order
hits and scores a run!
133
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,450
They pull further ahead of Nihon Shono!
134
00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:17,660
Seido
Nihon Shono
135
00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:17,950
Bottom of the 9th
136
00:09:13,540 --> 00:09:14,590
It's the bottom of the ninth.
137
00:09:14,590 --> 00:09:17,520
Nihon Shono has two outs
and no runners on base.
138
00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:24,290
Foul!
139
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,610
Using every nook and cranny of the plate,
they've backed Shono's lineup to the wall.
140
00:09:31,140 --> 00:09:34,520
You're finally pitching like you should be.
141
00:09:37,460 --> 00:09:41,200
Okay, Miyuki's mitt is
back to its normal size.
142
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:45,250
Now, let's finish this.
143
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:57,290
Got it!
144
00:09:58,890 --> 00:10:01,690
Yes! Nice pitch, Nori-senpai!
145
00:10:04,110 --> 00:10:06,150
Game over!
146
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:07,510
7 - 3.
147
00:10:07,510 --> 00:10:10,840
Holding off Nihon Shono, Seido gets
their second win of the tournament!
148
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,730
Seido High School advances
to the third round!
149
00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:26,130
Eijun-kun, your equipment is over there...
150
00:10:31,690 --> 00:10:34,780
H-He can't hide his displeasure.
151
00:10:35,810 --> 00:10:37,940
Any thoughts on your pitching today?
152
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,280
Not really.
153
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,030
But you threw a 154 km/h pitch!
154
00:10:45,170 --> 00:10:47,880
Eijun-kun, your equipment...
155
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:53,750
Ikuei
Yakushi
156
00:10:58,860 --> 00:11:00,280
It's gone!
157
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,140
The baseball tears through the wind like
a tracer bullet and lands in the bleachers!
158
00:11:05,390 --> 00:11:06,990
What terrifying power!
159
00:11:06,990 --> 00:11:08,610
What a terrifying swing!
160
00:11:08,610 --> 00:11:11,890
This is Raichi Todoroki,
second-year at Rakushi High!
161
00:11:11,890 --> 00:11:14,280
Yet another diamond in the rough!
162
00:11:14,530 --> 00:11:17,040
This is why I can never
get enough of the Koshien!
163
00:11:17,870 --> 00:11:20,750
Be awestruck! Be starstruck!
164
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:22,260
Pork cutlet for the win!
165
00:11:22,260 --> 00:11:24,040
Pork fillet for the win!
166
00:11:24,370 --> 00:11:29,250
Ikuei (Miyagi)
Yakushi (Western Tokyo)
167
00:11:24,700 --> 00:11:26,250
Aren't we amazing?
168
00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:29,240
Have you ever seen a father-son pair like us?
169
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,750
Quite the free-spirited battle, huh?
170
00:11:32,890 --> 00:11:35,700
Yakushi High, with Raichi Todoroki,
171
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:38,980
make waves in their first Koshien appearance.
172
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,880
Yakushi
(Western Tokyo)
173
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:59,240
Mima! Mima!
174
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:50,620
That's his third triple today!
He's blazing through the base paths!
175
00:11:51,780 --> 00:11:53,540
A strong arm, power at the plate,
176
00:11:53,540 --> 00:11:56,150
and speed that's given him
an OBP of over .800!
177
00:11:56,500 --> 00:11:59,230
An elite sportsman born to parents
who shone in track-and-field.
178
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,450
That is Soichiro Mima!
179
00:11:59,990 --> 00:12:09,750
Nanamagari Tech (Tottori)
Hakuryu (Gunma)
180
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,860
He's much less accurate than their starter.
181
00:12:07,210 --> 00:12:09,250
We should target his breaking balls.
182
00:12:10,650 --> 00:12:12,380
Led by Mima,
183
00:12:12,380 --> 00:12:15,430
they disorient their opponents
with the best small ball in the nation...
184
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:17,410
Hakuryu High School.
185
00:12:17,540 --> 00:12:19,510
Hakuryu
(Gunma)
186
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:26,360
Led by Ikusaburo Kawasaki,
their best pitcher and batter,
187
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,170
Seiseisha defeated several strong teams
with their powerful lineup,
188
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:32,900
survived the highly competitive Osaka region,
189
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:36,440
Jigen Wakayama (Wakayama)
Seiseisha (Osaka)
190
00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:36,290
and are well on their way to the finals.
191
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,440
Seiseisha
(Osaka)
192
00:12:39,810 --> 00:12:43,710
Dual aces Sakama and Sasaki control the game,
193
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:46,270
while the cleanup Yamaki leads the team.
194
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:53,710
Kamijo Academy (Nagasaki)
Yozan (Hiroshima)
195
00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:49,650
They're a fresh team from
Kyushu, Kamijo Academy.
196
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,700
Will they leave their mark
on this hallowed field?
197
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:55,710
Kamijo Academy
(Nagasaki)
198
00:12:57,780 --> 00:12:59,330
Strike three!
199
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,550
Nice pitch, Yuto!
200
00:13:01,550 --> 00:13:03,800
Kazuto, nice lead!
201
00:13:05,330 --> 00:13:06,640
We did it!
202
00:13:05,550 --> 00:13:13,560
Yamamori Academy (Yamanashi)
Sarashina Sogo (Chiba)
203
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,670
We're in the quarterfinals!
204
00:13:08,670 --> 00:13:11,140
One brother roars from the pitcher's mound
205
00:13:11,140 --> 00:13:13,550
while the other's mitt catches
his powerful pitches!
206
00:13:14,430 --> 00:13:18,220
Sarashina's lineup was no match
for the perfectly synchronized
207
00:13:18,220 --> 00:13:20,790
twins of Yamamori Academy.
208
00:13:20,790 --> 00:13:23,560
The Kotari brothers have
no gap in their teamwork.
209
00:13:23,740 --> 00:13:25,700
Yamamori Academy
(Yamanashi)
210
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,710
It's gone!
211
00:13:33,710 --> 00:13:35,410
Two home runs in two at-bats!
212
00:13:35,730 --> 00:13:38,920
Once again mercilessly displaying
his incredible power
213
00:13:39,270 --> 00:13:41,900
is strongman Makoto Shiba!
214
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,160
He's making waves here at Koshien Stadium!
215
00:13:44,420 --> 00:13:50,550
Urashima Academy (Saitama)
Yoshinaga (Tokushima)
216
00:13:44,950 --> 00:13:50,550
Yoshinaga High won the high-scoring game
against the powerhouse Urashima Academy.
217
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Yoshinaga
(Tokushima)
218
00:13:57,530 --> 00:13:59,050
Swing and a miss! He's struck him out!
219
00:13:59,050 --> 00:14:01,230
This game is over!
220
00:14:01,530 --> 00:14:06,250
Komadai Fujimaki overwhelms Shobi High
by a score of 10-0!
221
00:14:06,250 --> 00:14:10,150
While he only pitched as a reliever,
he used his 150 km/h-plus fastball
222
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:12,980
to strike out seven batters
in a row, ten in total!
223
00:14:12,490 --> 00:14:20,000
Terumi (Fukui)
Komadai Fujimaki
(Southern Hokkaido)
224
00:14:12,980 --> 00:14:16,840
Masamune Hongo, the second-year ace
said to be the best of his generation,
225
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,810
delivers a pitching masterclass!
226
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:24,250
Winners last summer
and in the fall Jingu Tournament,
227
00:14:24,570 --> 00:14:27,310
the champions, Komadai Fujimaki.
228
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:29,260
Komadai Fujimaki
(Southern Hokkaido)
229
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,760
Their ace, Furuya,
is skilled with bat and ball,
230
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,500
and even pros are keeping an eye
on their catcher, Miyuki.
231
00:14:36,270 --> 00:14:42,770
Seido (Western Tokyo)
Nihon Shono (Niigata)
232
00:14:39,260 --> 00:14:41,060
That really flew.
233
00:14:41,060 --> 00:14:42,540
Did it feel good?
234
00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:45,970
Having survived the warzone of Tokyo,
235
00:14:45,970 --> 00:14:48,110
they look to return to their glory days...
236
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,530

the quarterfinalists of the

Fourth Game of the Day
Clash!!
267
00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:49,440
Whoa! There are lot more
people than yesterday.
268
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,950
They've all come to see us?
269
00:15:51,950 --> 00:15:55,460
It's funny. This hotel's pretty far
from the ballpark.
270
00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:56,590
Ah.
271
00:15:56,590 --> 00:15:59,040
You really stole the show.
272
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,470
Your displeasure's showing.
273
00:16:00,860 --> 00:16:04,560
Is there anyone you admire
or aspire to be like?
274
00:16:05,860 --> 00:16:06,970
Polar bears.
275
00:16:06,970 --> 00:16:07,820
Huh?
276
00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:09,100
Polar bears?
277
00:16:09,710 --> 00:16:13,400
Huh? You turned away
Todansha's people, too?
278
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,010
I did. There were too many reporters,
so I put a cap on the interviews.
279
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,260
Wow, that's a shame.
280
00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:22,440
Players need to get used to the media.
281
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,130
You should throw him to the wolves.
282
00:16:25,130 --> 00:16:28,370
What good is the Koshien
if you don't bask in the spotlight?
283
00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:32,070
Uh, but he has a game today.
284
00:16:32,070 --> 00:16:33,950
The fourth one, right?
285
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:38,010
He's not the type of boy
to let it go to his head.
286
00:16:38,370 --> 00:16:41,390
And he's getting better
with every appearance.
287
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:44,710
Wanna see?
288
00:16:46,810 --> 00:16:48,380
Again, your displeasure's showing.
289
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:52,730
Given that this is the Koshien,
Sawamura and Kawakami can't complain.
290
00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:57,150
Why not let Furuya handle
today's game by himself?
291
00:16:58,850 --> 00:17:00,660
Yes, that's right.
292
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,490
Prioritize the players in good form.
293
00:17:05,490 --> 00:17:09,790
That's an ironclad rule to follow
if you want to last in the Koshien.
294
00:17:16,090 --> 00:17:18,510
The Night Before the Game
295
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:21,770
Hokkaido's harsh terrain and weather
gives the players mental strength.
296
00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:20,510
Congrats to Seido
on making the quarters!
297
00:17:22,670 --> 00:17:25,090
Common sense dictates you can't
practice in the snowy winter.
298
00:17:25,090 --> 00:17:28,010
But they ignore that
and do drills atop the snow.
299
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:33,030
The Koshien War
300
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:33,030
Drills on Snow
301
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,640
Last summer, they brought Hokkaido
its first championship.
302
00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:37,000
Riding that wave, they won
the Jingu Tournament in the fall, too.
303
00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:37,320
Komadai Fujimaki Coach
Kozo Nitta
304
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,790
The Young Giant of the North
Masamune Hongo
305
00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:41,180
Their engine: the second-year ace
from Tomakomai, Hokkaido,
306
00:17:41,180 --> 00:17:42,790
Masamune Hongo.
307
00:17:42,790 --> 00:17:46,170
The Birth of a New Beast
Satoru Furuya
308
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:45,750
Meanwhile, Satoru Furuya
is also from Hokkaido
309
00:17:45,750 --> 00:17:50,340
and spent his youth there
all the way through middle school.
310
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,660
Oh, there's Furuya.
311
00:17:48,670 --> 00:17:57,430
The Birth of a New Beast
Satoru Furuya
312
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:53,170
But he basically never
got to pitch for his team.
313
00:17:53,170 --> 00:17:56,540
After graduating, he secured
general admission into a Tokyo high school.
314
00:17:58,310 --> 00:18:00,840
They're two Hokkaido aces
of the same age,
315
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,440
and they both throw over 150 km/h.
316
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:11,940
Seido High School
Satoru Furuya (2nd Year)
317
00:18:03,430 --> 00:18:11,940
Komadai Fujimaki
Masamune Hongo (2nd Year)
318
00:18:04,050 --> 00:18:06,340
Seido High School's Satoru Furuya,
319
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:08,820
and Komadai Fujimaki's Masamune Hongo.
320
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:11,940
These two will face off tomorrow!
321
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:14,280
Talk about hyping a game up.
322
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,490
Right? Things were crazy
when we got back here, too.
323
00:18:18,910 --> 00:18:23,710
But the more we learn about Komadai Fujimaki,
the scarier they look.
324
00:18:23,710 --> 00:18:27,540
They steal bases like crazy,
and they hit-and-run all the time, too.
325
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:31,000
I hear they score in the first inning
more often than any other team.
326
00:18:31,270 --> 00:18:33,770
It's actually kinda creepy
that they don't hit for power.
327
00:18:33,770 --> 00:18:36,640
And once they start a rally, they don't stop,
328
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,350
so our defense needs to be
on point in the first.
329
00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:43,210
Your middle school was pretty close
to Komadai Fujimaki, huh?
330
00:18:44,650 --> 00:18:47,130
Do you know any of them, then?
331
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,890
You don't, huh?
332
00:18:52,030 --> 00:18:55,400
I barely watched any of last year's Koshien.
333
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,130
Hey!
334
00:18:56,130 --> 00:18:57,150
We can't see.
335
00:18:57,150 --> 00:19:00,140
But I was shocked that
a Hokkaido team beat Inashiro,
336
00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:03,150
let alone that it was Komadai Fujimaki.
337
00:19:04,170 --> 00:19:07,840
That area not only gets a lot of snow,
but also the ground freezes over.
338
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,300
Wow...
339
00:19:09,630 --> 00:19:14,680
Then if Komadai Fujimaki had made waves
in the Koshien before last year,
340
00:19:15,060 --> 00:19:17,410
you might've enrolled there instead, huh?
341
00:19:22,170 --> 00:19:23,920
Right?
342
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,870
If there was a Koshien winner nearby,
why would you come to Tokyo?
343
00:19:29,530 --> 00:19:33,230
Oh, but your Gramps is in Tokyo, right?
344
00:19:34,170 --> 00:19:35,360
I...
345
00:19:36,860 --> 00:19:40,440
I believe I only improved
because I came here.
346
00:19:41,620 --> 00:19:44,590
And I know I can still get a lot better here.
347
00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:48,120
While we're in the Koshien,
348
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,580
I'll pitch my best
so we last as long as possible,
349
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,380
so I'm counting on your help tomorrow.
350
00:20:03,940 --> 00:20:07,480
What have we here?
You've learned to express yourself now?
351
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,350
And not just with your aura, but with words.
352
00:20:10,770 --> 00:20:13,210
Did all those interviews teach you how?
353
00:20:13,210 --> 00:20:15,150
I couldn't say.
354
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,780
Take a look around.
355
00:20:16,780 --> 00:20:18,610
Nobody knows how to respond.
356
00:20:18,610 --> 00:20:19,560
But why?
357
00:20:21,610 --> 00:20:26,370
No fielder could help get fired up
after hearing his ace say those words.
358
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:33,550
It's often said that the Koshien
makes players grow exponentially.
359
00:20:33,550 --> 00:20:37,000
And it looks this guy is
totally in the zone now.
360
00:20:46,270 --> 00:20:48,480
Two outs, runner on second,
361
00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:52,130
and the batter is a slugger in the five-hole.
362
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:54,920
Paint the corners.
363
00:20:55,450 --> 00:20:58,320
Even if I walk him,
if I can get the next guy out...
364
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,180
It'll be okay!
365
00:21:03,470 --> 00:21:06,050
The umpire remains unmoved!
366
00:21:06,050 --> 00:21:08,320
But I already accounted for his strike zone!
367
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,790
I'll end things with the next batter!
368
00:21:14,580 --> 00:21:16,870
Zono, time to switch.
369
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:18,570
Already?
370
00:21:18,570 --> 00:21:19,880
Don't complain.
371
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:21,730
It's a public park.
372
00:21:21,730 --> 00:21:23,760
Keep your voice down.
373
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,500
In my first-round relief appearance,
I walked the first guy I faced.
374
00:21:33,140 --> 00:21:36,470
Then I started pitching down the middle
and gave up two hits.
375
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:38,790
It's because I pitched so badly
376
00:21:38,790 --> 00:21:41,410
that I had to watch today's game
from the sidelines.
377
00:21:44,780 --> 00:21:46,700
Furuya
A Real Beast
378
00:21:48,170 --> 00:21:49,300
Damn it!
379
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,610
I wanna hurry up and take that mound already!
380
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:57,580
Tomorrow...
381
00:21:58,740 --> 00:22:00,060
Tomorrow, for sure...
382
00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:03,980
I wanna help the team with my pitching!
383
00:22:11,970 --> 00:22:18,980
"Wanna Take The Mound"
384
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,760
I wanna hurry up and take the mound!
385
00:23:49,690 --> 00:23:51,540
We won't let it end this way.
386
00:23:51,770 --> 00:23:55,790
Our ace is pitching just as well as you.
387
00:23:55,790 --> 00:23:58,010
No more runs. Not a single one.
388
00:23:58,360 --> 00:24:00,410
I won't let you score any more runs.
389
00:24:00,410 --> 00:24:02,120
You won't even get on base!
390
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:03,950
As if a big-city pansy
391
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:06,640
could ever stop us.
392
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,700
Bring it, punk!
393
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,780
Next time on Ace of Diamond Act II,
394
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:18,930
Next Time
395
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:18,930
"Blessed by the Baseball Gods"
396
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:14,350
"Blessed by the Baseball Gods"!
397
00:24:14,770 --> 00:24:16,880
Let's win the national title!
