I. Koshi Rikudo...
"...permit the anime, Excel Saga...to be a youthful springtime drama."
This I hereby allow.
I allow it to be a youthful springtime drama!
That isn't love!
Love isn't that.
I love but I'm not loved.
It's not love at all...
Rut isn't love...?
"I want to be loved, but I won't ask for it."
This body may be crushed I'll give my life away
Just plainly without hesitation
I'll con them and filt them. Come in from the side.
I'll step on others and kick'em up
Run way! Run away!
Even if ai slip on a banana peel.
That's all for that on man!
If I must say it's probably
Loyality in the name of love
This can't be!
This can't be! I don't want to! Picking flowers off a grave!
But I can't help it!
Because this is my job!
Oh this can't be!
Excel.
Hail Master I Palazzo!
Oh? Did I totally change the subject? Maybe even made a hole in the plot?
"You did,"
A huge one at that.
Oh my! I'm SO sorry about that!
Maybe I can atone for it by forturing myself by stone crushing.
So please forgive me!
"Master I palazzo, please contunue with whatyou were saying"
Indeed.
The future of this nation is...dark!
It's dark! Yay!
"I Excel, as your very FIRST subordinate..."
...have been giving my all every day following the principles of...
...hard work...
...and victory...
...jumping go make our dream come true!
"Then, tell me in detail why the future of this nation is dark."
Gulp! Um...
Perhaps it's like the old proverb 'Take 3 looks atyour wife's belly button.
...which in America means that...
How aboutyou Hyatt? ...which jin America means that...
Yes perhaps it's dark because of a problem with the next generation's lack of education.
"Exactly, You catch on very quickly, Hyatt."
"Oh no, I'm not worthy of those words..."
Next generation?
"So, today's mission is..."
You're not even ganna criticize me?
I'd like you to infiltrate a high school
as teachers in order to research education.
Understood.
I understand too!
I TOTALL Y got it!
Hyatt.
"would you step back, about 81 cm please?"
OK
Is that next?
"Yeah, It's been a long day."
Well then off I go'
all it takes is a little pull of the thumb!
And taking a swift look up...
Isn't this the school I was attending in the first episode?
"Inunabe, the private high school..."
A.K.a Inuukou
This is our workplace for this episode isn't it?
Woah! I don't remember putting on a suit!
"Now, this is a real gag anime!"
"And you won't go along with me at all, will you?"
Inunabe High School?
It sounds like a name we can identify with.
"In one bite, okay?"
It's been a while since I've been at school.
Makes you remember
"those sweet & sour, raw & salty school days."
"Oh my, you have memories like that too?"
Of course! I'm a girl too!
There was embarrassing dust flying about...
...and unknown nameless liquids departed this body.
"Youthful memories, weren't they?"
"Oh now, Ha-chan!"
"Come on, let's go! Go! Go!"
What the...?
The weather report said clear skies...
A desk? And... something's
written on it...
Can't read it.
It's so exciting to have on alumni returning as a teacher.
Really?
"Things have changed a lot,"
haven't they?
Inunabe was once renowned as on elite school...
...but now we're just a dump filled
with punks and delinquests.
It sounds like things have gone to waste.
Are classes still being held?
Second year
It's called a class but nowthat's just a name.
"Well, just be careful not to get hurt."
"Ah, Hi pardon us..."
"Gasp! They're not exactly scary, but guys like them are rarely seen anymore!"
Looks like Japan's gold medal contenders for delinquency.
Today I'll be introducing your substitute teachers.
I'm E-chan!! And this is Ha-chan!
Lookin pretty!
Hey ya wanna be my girl?
"Teacher,"
come on my second' hand with crazy riding
and get gain on the hairpin curves eh?
I have no idea what they're saying.
Feels like we've time traveled or something.
"Well then, I'll leave you young folks to each other."
If you'll excuse me.
He's quickly running away.
Everyone I don't think it's a good idea to throw empty cans in the classroom...!!
"Education is powerless, isn't it?"
Within 30 seconds of becoming teachers we already have our conclusion.
"Prof, hurry up n start class!"
I'd like to do health education you know?
Like some one on one.
I'd be surprised if this class total IQ could reach 100.
Probably wouldn't make the double digits.
What cha mumbling about?!
"Teacher, if you ain't gonna teach usleave"
Or start strippin!
Strip! Strip!
Y-you wouldn't!
You can't do that!
And phew...
The future of this nation really is dark.
I don't think it will be easy teaching them at this rate.
Teachers E-chan and Ha-chan...
Yeah
"Esop, 28 years old"
My name is Esop and I'm the baseball team advisor her.
I know it's only been a short while since you've arrived but I have a favor to ask.
Hah?
So you're asking us to coach the baseball team?
Yes.
But why?
We're going to be leaving in a week.
"I hate to say this,"
but the baseball team has been misbehaving
so much that it's about to be disbanded.
That's why none of the other teachers will accept this position.
The principal will disband the team
if we lose to Sarutama High on Sunday.
But I don't want this once ferocious
and proud baseball team to end.
I want to go to Koshien!
There's 4 days until Sunday.
Please Will you help me?
Why don'tyou do ityourself?
My body is being consumed by on incurable illness...
Incurable illness?
Don't tell me you have an unexpected case of any enlargement which has baffled doctors...
...and suffer 10 days and 10 nights of regular excretion?
Augh!
That's too straight! That's too blunt!
"Can'tyou say it in a gentler, looser way?"
My anus is...
But putting that aside...He recovers fast!
You calmed the infamous 2nd year Sunflower Class' dump heap in only a few minutes.
Please?
help me rebuild the baseball team.
"Whatever, but why are you doing that here?"
It's a big one!
What's big?
Don't ask?
What'll we do about his team?
"In carrying out Master I Palazzo's order,"
I think we should avoid standing out.
"So, Mr. Esop!"
Y-yes?!
The answer is no.
"Well, we wish you luck."
We'll be rooting for you from the shadows.
Wait!
I didn't want to use this method.
"But at this point, I have no choice."
I'm going to put a curse on you.
"I may not look like it,"
but I majoredin physical education and sorcery in college.
I can curse just as well as I can do sports.
My effectivity is 92%%%!
Are sportsmen allowed to use curses?!
Using any method to win is true competition.
If you won't accept my request.
I'll put a curse on you so you'II...
...never have toilet paper
when you use public toilets...
...and will have to use the pages of some magazine someone left behind instead.
Well? What are you going to do? Well? Well?
Is that possibly why you have an anal disease?
Of course. Wiping with magazine pages... Aha!
Mix Mix?
Mix mix Keep on mixin
So this is the baseball team.
They're all hyped up for sure.
Idiot!
You got something against me?!
What's just mixing the pieces gonna do for you?
Our brains can't remember any of the other rules!!
You idiot! Don't give up so easily!
Didn't I teach you that if you're gonna play mahjong you gotta do a pi-fun!
Pi-fun means...
Looks like Mr Esop is more passionate that he looks.
"I'm sorry you had to see that ugly scene,"
but this is the team's current ability.
But please don't misunderstand.
They're a bunch of guys who are more passionate about baseball than anyone else.
"So, Teachers E chan and Ha-chan,"
I'm counting on you to bring us through this!
See ya!
He ran away so fast!
Baseball advisors and TV anime directors really can run fast!
"In any case Mr, Esop."
you have to get close to their naive young hearts...
Not by hitting or yelling at them...
"In this warlike educational institution, what we need is..."
...one cup of tomato juice!
Please...
T-Teacher... t-that's ....!
Please...have a cup of tomato juice.
Tomato juice...
Teacher...we'll ...we'II...
Please.
We'll do anything you say!
Work hard together
You're all dogs!
You're all elephants!
You're all Oh Sanaharu! (A Japanese baseball legend)
Our mind are empty... but aburage are for eatin cu-rry.
l-Incredible...
To think that these guys are listening so abed entry.
No matter how much I kicked or hit them or stuck needles under their nails they wouldn't listen but...
"But, there don't seem to be enough people."
There are only 8 people.
So you've noticed.
"That's right,"
there's a man we must bring back to this baseball team.
"And just for the record, who is that?"
The man who will bring us to victory
His name is Binbo!
I got it.
Binbo 17 years old
"Yukari-chan , huh?"
Binbo.
Esop!
"It's been a while,"
you're still hanging around this place?
Shut up!
This has nothin's to do with you!
That kingly hair of yours is cousing trouble as always!
This is Mr. Binbo?
Yes. he is.
Is he actually poor then?
Oops I dropped hapf a billion yen.
"No, incredibly rich."
Then why?
Well it was during a gome in his 3rd year of middle school...
"Ah, Are we going to see a flashback?"
"Yes, We're gonna do 7 scenes, Anything wrong with that?"
"Not at all, please go ahead with the flashback."
It was the bottom of the 9th.
His opponent was Hamaguri High's Sazae.
The stands were going wild for this match between the greatest batter and pitcher.
Watch me next week!
But then he threw a beanball at Sazae.
The team lost its momentum after Hamaguri's victory.
But I knewthen?
that it's best to crush the apponent
nather than fight'em at koshien.
That beanball was a beanball for the future.
What plarnning... what greatneses!
"That's when I realized that he could take us to koshien,"
that my team needed him!
"Hey Binbo, come back to the team!"
You don't have time to be hoppily lounging around here!
Shut up!
I ain't gonna play basebal no more!
What?!
"Why?! Why would a man like you, Binbo...?!"
My hand slipped when I threwthe ball!
Butyou kept relling Beanall! Beanball!
So they treated me like a cheater!
I even got that nickname because of you!
WHAT?! Is that what it was? I'm sorry
Sorry won't fix nothin!
Then hit me.. hit me until you'r satisfied!
You've got guts. Take this
Yukari...
Don't never show your face in front of me again.
Wait!
W-Who are you?
People call us E-chan and Ha-chan.
limited time offer baseball team coaches.
You want something with me?
I heard everything I understood most of it.
But that's in the past.
"What the young ones need is the future, don'tyou agree?"
Please look at this picture.
That photo...?
The others are practing so hard to keep the team alive...
....because if they lose on Sunday the team will be disbanded.
Disbanded?
The weather is great here at the grounds of Inunabe High School.
The game against Sarutama High will soon begin.
"I'm your announcer, Nama Chuukei."
And the commentator is...
"Terao Oosugi(fake name) of the Shibuya store, taking care of me."
No one's listening.
"Mr, Binbo isn't coming."
"He'll come, He'll definitely come."
"Because he's a sportsman. No, because he's human."
You sure it's okay for me to be in the team?
"It's okay,"
If we keep quiet no one will notice.
That's something a sportsman would never say.
M... monkey?
"Yes,"
That's the famous Sarutama High baseball team!
Th-Th-They're real monkerys no matter how you look at them!
You mustn't underestimate them.
They were in the top 8 at the last Koshien.
"Hang in there, humans!"
"Meanwhile, Binbo was...!"
"Hey, my name Yuu. You want to go to Koshien too?"
Then let's sing...
"Meanwhile, Excel was...!"
The time has finally come the game's first pitch!
I'm looking forward to Sarutama's wild play.
"As part of the human race, I can't allow us to lose to monkeys!"
Monkeys...with monkey strength.
"We're in trouble, ofter all."
I want's lose!
It's a batting battle this time!
It's a hit! Fly long! Go long!
"No, it's not good."
Why?
Sarutama Hight's defense is 3 times higher than humans.
I see!
M-M-Monkey magic?!
"Croissont, eh?"
Geez I can't stand to watch that baseball team!
"Even if they did go to Koshien, they're just monkeys."
Throw some dumplings and it'll be all right.
Wait!
Don't talk like you understand.
Koshien... and boseball...
...ain't that easy!!
M-My God! It's suddenly the bottom of the 9th!
That was too fast!
And it's all down to the pitcher!
"2 outs, the bases are loaded... The batter is Saruta Sarunosuke!"
It's a do or die situation!'
come
Senior...
She's too tired out.
"She prevented those monkeys from scoring all this time,"
of course she's exhousted.
If only he were here...
If he were...
Senior...
If he were...!!
W...wha...?!
Binbo!
What's going on?
Switch with me.
I'm the only one who can keep the mound.
I guess I'll letyou play the good part.
Wow! I wounder what kind of play Binbo will show us!?
I guess I took the long way around...
...but this really is where I belong!
100 to 0.
The game has ended as predicted.
Thank you so much. Mr Nobeshin.
He's lost interest.
Don't say anything.
But I...
You came back to us.
Today is our'playball!
That's right. Binbo.
Y-you guys...
"Welcome home, Binbo!"
Welcome home!
Look! Binbo's crying!
"You idiots, tears are the seals of the heart!"
You guys...
Young master! We're in trouble!
The moster's company just went bankrupt!
"Now you're a true binbo."
Wanna go home?
"Good work, senior."
The springtime of youth is a maze.. But it's always connected to your buddies...
Today;'s experiment... failed
Excuse me...
Can I ask you a question?
Where are you taking me because I touched your woman?
"Tokyo,Bay."
NO!!!!
I've know in since that day
The reason you came to me
The soft texture of my body
Is a favorite of yours...
In your hungered eyes
How does this body look...?
"If you're going to eat me, please do it quickly"
So that this flesh won't become too lough...
