Honestly, what started has began, the hunt of the baseball club.
Violent Baseball Club Die!
Who did this to you?
I don't know.
Everyone was disguised.
They were really aiming for you guys.
Hey.
Could it be Kunieda's doing?
Die!
Trash
Shinjo.
Die!
Trash
Did you do it?
Stop it!
Do you want to use violence again?!
Shut up!
You think we can continue playing baseball while being underestimated like that?
I'll find those guys and kill them!
Hey!
Wait, you guys!
Sensei.
Die!
Baseball Club
The baseball club aren't afraid at all.
If this continues, they'll have to stop playing baseball.
If the club room is painted without notice,
or your friends get knocked out by someone, of course everyone will get angry.
Just a minute, Aniya.
You...
The "thumb ring makes me happy" is what you said and you were wearing two of them.
Why are you not wearing them?
That's because there is paint on both rings, right?
Let go of me.
Wait, you bitch!
No, you wait.
You just keep quiet and play baseball.
You guys who did it, didn't you?
Aren't you not their comrade any more?
Why are you here?
Well.
Because I loathe you.
So what about it?
You bastard!
Shinjo did that?
Yeah.
To those third year students.
If it's Shinjo, just leave him alone.
W-w-w-wait.
What's up with them?
Why aren't you going to help him?
He's your friend, isn't he?
What?
We've cut all ties with Shinjo.
Right about now, he's probably dead.
Hiya-chi.
She's a girl.
Touko-chama, wait...
I'll kill you!
You owe me a punch.
You damn bastard!
Just a minute.
Stop.
What are those?
We just can't keep quiet when we're being made out to be fools.
Then let me call this a club activity.
And leave those bats behind.
We don't need any bats for today's club activity.
You want to protect something important.
Then let's call this a club activity.
Do this proudly!
Here!
You can't win like that.
Because of you, those people who played baseball seriously can't play any more.
Hey.
These two aren't scary anymore.
It isn't just two guys.
Feel the wrath of the baseball club,
underestimate us and die, you bastards!
What club activities?!
Well, it looks like everyone's training really hard.
Stop feigning ignorance and being irresponsible!
That's enough.
Everyone's expelled.
Expelled?!
Principal.
You don't have to go that far...
More than ten people are wounded.
We can't go against our school's tradition.
It can't be helped.
Please wait.
I'm the one who gave permission for this club activity.
If there are any problems,
as an advisor, please punish me instead.
I've been taking you on your word, but we've got some people injured.
If you say that our club members are violent,
what are you going to do about those students who used weapons to fight?
Moreover,
at last the baseball club is starting to change,
and you want to expel them just to settle this, is this what education is about?
Don't you think such thing is more likely to be called violence, Principal?
What we did should not be forgiven.
I apologise for that.
But, everyone wanted to protect something that's important to them.
Comrades, pride, and dreams.
Up till now, they have lost so much, that's why
they want to protect it.
Principal...
it's true that punishing the baseball club because of this...
Generosity is the flower of justice.
By Hawthorne.
Principal's generous heart,
why don't you show it a little more?
There's only 2 weeks until the game.
Yes!
Principal's Office
Thanks, Sensei.
Ah, Shinjo.
You took revenge for the baseball club, right?
Stop it, what are you trying to say?
You know what I'm talking about, Sekikawa.
Shut up.
So what are you going to do about those three?
Hmm?
Hey, Aniya.
If it's all right with you, let's play baseball together...
No way.
All right!
There's only two weeks until the game.
Before all the members are gathered,
let's do it with the six of us.
Yeah! That's just stupid.
Do you even know the rules?
Let's look for other members.
Don't leave me alone!
Hey! Wait up!
Listen to what I'm saying.
What... What...
Hey, wait! Hey!
Skewed Studios & TimeLesSub presents
Episode 3
Don't run away!
We don't have enough members, and we're in trouble.
Come on.
But I prefer Kendo more than...
Eh?
This is really bad.
It's only in two weeks.
You know what will happen if you refuse, don't you?
Please don't threaten me.
Nya!
Hiratsuka,
you were originally from the baseball club, so join us.
Don't threaten me.
The truth is, if we can't assemble before the game, Sensei will be fired.
Which club is Touko-chan in?
No, that's not it. The baseball club...
Which club is Touko-chan in?
She's in the choir.
They are a threat, a threat.
Stop those guys from the baseball club from soliciting our club members.
Please do something about it.
Please!
I'm sorry.
Seriously.
What's wrong with him?
It's those kids.
The baseball club is always causing trouble, aren't they?
Sensei.
Please try your best.
Thanks.
Fujita-sensei.
Can you bring us some coffee please?
Oh?
You're here?
I'm here.
Doesn't Aniya-kun want to play?
He's pretty skillful at baseball.
Throw the ball.
Are you sure?
Hey!
Play properly, you guys!
Why do I have to be the one using the fungo bat?
Hey, here you go!
Nice shot.
Here.
First base.
Go.
Nice job.
Baseball double-play completed.
Nice!
All right. Next, third base.
(One, two, three in French)
Un, deux, trois.
Here you go!
Everyone's doing their best.
Aniya won't play.
But last year he became a regular, didn't he?
That guy's pride is huge.
By the way, what's that?
Hmm?
If you're playing baseball in high school,
you need to aim for the top.
Flourish in your Dreams!
Sparkle in Tomorrow!
Aim for Koshien!!
by Kawato Koichi.
Here!
Flourish in your Dreams!
Sparkle in Tomorrow!
Aim for Koshien!!
by Kawato Koichi.
Aiming for Koshien...
Everything you do is so embarrassing.
Hey! This is stupid.
Flourish in your Dreams!
Sparkle in Tomorrow!
Aim for Koshien!!
by Kawato Koichi.
If Aniya comes back,
we might be a little closer to our dream.
Let me go.
Aniya Liquor Store
(It's not really 3 million yen, but only 300 yen. It's a common joke that Japanese store owners make.)
Here's the change, 3,000,000 yen.
That's great.
This is...
Oh. Idiot son!
You should follow Touko-chan's example once in a while, and help out around the house.
Hey, if the game isn't played, Kawato-sensei will be fired.
Why didn't you tell me?
(They are talking about sex.)
If I told you, you would've told me to do it.
Then do it.
If you let me do it, then I'll do it.
Aren't you going to bring me to Koshien?
Hey.
Could it be, you're worried about Kawakami-kun?
Stop it.
What?
You're just pretending to be hurt.
Shut up!
Leave already.
I don't need you to tell me to leave.
Wait a minute.
I wasn't told about this.
I promised to go to Miki's live today.
I'm really sorry.
Hey.
What are we going to do about the other three members?
Well, Hiratsuka and Imaoka are joining for sure.
They were originally in the baseball club.
Why can't you do it?
(A very popular song that youngsters know, called Moldau in German. It's called Vltava in English. (Moldau/Vltava – name of the Czech river))
~The Bohemian river, Moldau.~
Huh?
~You still remember the olden days.~
Touko.
He seems to be in love with Yagi.
He says he wants to sing Moldau with the choir that Yagi is in.
Don't Touch Just Painted
That rascal, Hiratsuka, is in the choir?
What the heck is Moldau?
His face is like a mortar.
Mikoshiba
I think
we should play baseball together.
Aniya.
Could it be that you're going to...
Ah! You!
You touched the paint too?
I thought you'd do it too! Nya!
When it's written not to touch it, we just have to touch it, right?
It's just human's nature, right?
How did you steal this?
It's human nature.
Hey.
We should go.
Oh?
Yeah...
Mikoshiba.
But...
It's okay, just come with us.
We're going then.
Hey, you.
Don't bring the girls in.
Why didn't we invite him, aren't we friends?
That's why...
Eh?
If we invite him,
he'll get pissed and might not come to the club room again.
Is that all right with you?
Even if we don't play baseball together, we still want to be good friends.
Aim for Koshien!!
by Kawato Koichi.
If the runner behind overtakes the runner in front.
That's a weird situation.
Woah!
Aniya.
Ah.
The rules of baseball are difficult.
But if I don't remember accurately, it'll be embarrassing if we go to Koshien.
Oh!
Did you touch it too?
I wonder...
We just can't help but touch it.
Hey!
Don't underestimate it.
You amateurs.

You're being naive.
Can't we just keep on dreaming?
Now it's the only time we can do it.
Don't give us any hope.
This is useless.
There's no such thing as useless effort.
Shut up!
That's how you found it.
Dreams...
are freedom.
~Moldau...~
~You still remember the olden days.~
Touko-chan is late.
I wonder what she's doing.
~The shore of the river.~
Yagi.
He's probably angry because you said we're going to Koshien.
Eh?
Why?
Because Kei...
Aniya-kun...
knew how difficult it is to go to Koshien.
But...
He was a hero in his middle school.
I knew it!
He ran fast, his shoulders were strong,
and his batting average was over 0.6.
I always saw him hit the ball.
Then why?
He then happen to learn his limits.
Limits?
During his last year in middle school,
he met Kawakami-kun who could throw a great forkball.
Strike! You're out!
Game Set.
It was the first time he striked out three times in a row.
The bat didn't even touch the ball.
He was overconfident.
So that's why he quit baseball.
No.
Eh?
Back then, it was quite the opposite.
He got his spirit up, and said that he was going to defeat the guy completely in Koshien.
Last year,
he was banned from playing.
At that time,
Kawakami-kun's high school went to Koshien.
He...
was an ace pitcher in first year.
It's a big hit.
I and Aniya-kun, too,
It's in. It's in. It's in.
believed that Kawakami-kun will storm the Koshien.
The first year ace pitcher, Kawakami-kun,
in his first inning,
allowed 12 points.
He couldn't stop them.
This is the national tournament.
This is Koshien.
The high school which defeated him,
lost in the second round.
Although he knew that there's someone better than him,
after seeing the reality, he completely lost his pride.
No matter how much effort he makes, there's something out of reach.
Then what's the point of putting in effort?
That's...
Aniya-kun's answer.
No matter how much effort he puts in,
there's something out of reach.
Don't underestimate Koshien.
You amateurs.
Talking about Koshien in front of him...
I'm such an idiot.
Flourish in your Dreams! Sparkle in Tomorrow! Aim for Koshien!! by Kawato Koichi.
by Kawato Koichi.
Hey you.
Stay focused.
Eh! Let's go.
Lower that waist.
Hey.
You guys!
You want to go to Koshien, right?
Then don't give up.
If you love baseball,
try harder!
Let's go!
Hey!
I'm such an idiot.
I'm a big idiot.
Why are you a pitcher?
What's wrong with it?
I originally wanted to be a pitcher.
It does matter.
We want to go to Koshien!
Hey.
The positions will be decided after testing everyone's ability.
Why are you deciding for us?
Someone throw.
Huh?
Eh?
I want to see if I'm qualified to play baseball.
Then, I'm going to throw for you.
Hey, Mikoshiba. You catch.
Yeah.
You guys watch carefully.
My super fast ball.
This is for Murayama Minoru.
Rule number 4,
a tip for hitting is to use the body as the axis.
Rather than hitting, it's more pushing back.
Die!
Kawato.
Full swing.
Sensei.
This is bad.
Is he dead?
Don't aim at him!
I didn't!
You just said die.
It's no use.
It's totally no use.
Sensei, are you all right?
It's no good.
It's no good like this.
I am... a big idiot.
I don't even know the rules.
I'm an amateur.
But...
What's so bad about an amateur aiming for Koshien?
It's not bad at all.
Definitely,
dreams...
are freedom.
Ah, welcome home.
Yeah.
Your dad is out delivering.
Yeah.
Kei-chan told me not to join,
But I...
decided to become the manager of the baseball club.
I guess I should do the things I want to do.
High school baseball is something that I can do only now.
Do what you want.
Yeah.
I'll do what I want.
Good night.
Here, fill this.
All right.
Nikogaku baseball club survey
Here.
Well, I leave it to you.
What is going on?
Yagi-san has become the manager of the baseball club.
Manager?
Shinjo-kun is also in the baseball club,
for the time being.
How about Aniya?
Ah.
I'll be happy if he joins,
but it's probably impossible.
That's not true.
Eh?
Somehow Aniya is struggling to find the answers.
Yeah.
He...
might find his answer if he swings his bat.
Eh?
That's how you found it, right?
To go to Koshien.
Kawato-kun doesn't know anything, huh?
If we play the game,
we will only be embarrassed.
You know that right?
Since Yagi became the manager,
Hiratsuka and Imaoka will return to the baseball club.
All right!
Hiratsuka! Hiratsuka!
Aniya.
Let's play baseball together.
Without you, Aniya, it won't be complete.
If we don't win this together, there is no point in playing baseball.
Do you think that you can win a game although you're just happy making a double play?
Don't underestimate middle school level baseball.
Idiot.
Who are you?
Don't get so conceited.
Who's the conceited one here?
Wait.
Stop it.
Let them be.
But...
Those guys can't express their feelings well.
So it's fine to let them fight.
You're being naive.
Do you want to experience the feeling of defeat so badly?
Even if you try hard, you can't achieve your dreams.
This is reality.
You piece of shit.
Can't we just keep on dreaming?
Aniya is much better than us.
But we're finally able to get out of the rut by playing baseball.
We only have baseball.
If you want to do it, just say it.
Who wants to do it?
Then don't come to the baseball club room again.
Don't give us any hope.
Even I... only have baseball.
I know that.
Koshien?
Those guys.
Sensei.
I heard from Shinjo-kun.
Aniya.
You're quite the guy.
Sorry about last time.
For such a guy who doesn't even know baseball's rules very well,
I said I wanted to go Koshien.
I'm sorry.
But...
Even if you think that I'm frivolous,
I guess, Koshien will still be the dream I'll pursue.
If we keep trying, it may not be impossible.
If it's only words, you can say anything easily!
Then,
why don't you have a challenge with me?
With this bucket of balls,
I will make you strike three balls.
If I'm successful,
you will play baseball with us.
If I lose, you can do whatever you want.
Then quit being the baseball advisor.
I understand.
All right.
Let's go.
Kei-chan.
Have you had enough?
This is useless.
I cannot lose.
Everyone
is trying their best to catch up with you even just a bit,
and trying hard to to make you join the baseball club.
937
938
939
Aniya.
There's no useless effort.
Shut up!
Just throw the ball.
That's all.
With these three balls,
I will strike you!
It can't be helped.
If I miss even one,
I will admit defeat.
Don't make a fool out of this.
This is a serious challenge.
You piece of shit.
He looks troubled.
Shinjo-kun.
If he misses all of them,
he can play his favourite baseball again.
He missed...
Don't miss on purpose.
If you want to play baseball,
just say so.
Shut up!
Then hit the ball.
Hit with all your pride.
I'm throwing the second ball.
Let's go.
Sensei, why?
All right.
The bat touched the ball!
That was a foul ball.
Then are you claiming a victory?
Looks to me like a strike.
Shut up.
That was a strike.
Throw the last ball.
I will hit it.
Last one.
Let's go!
Can't we keep on dreaming?
We only have baseball.
If you want to do it, just say so.
There is no useless effort.
After all that,
he couldn't throw away his pride.
You're not saying "let me do it" today.
You're noisy.
Hey, you don't have much time left before the game.
It doesn't matter to me.
If you do it again,
do you want me to give you a kiss?
Kei-chan.
Idiot.
That is...
not even worth a gift from the pachinko store.
Oh? What's up, Sensei?
Get changed quickly.
I'm sorry.
Actually yesterday
Aniya...
You're late.
Hey!
Ah!
Aniya.
That guy...
That uniform...
Aniya.
Why?
If I play baseball,
she'll let me do it with her.
Huh?
I didn't say that.
No no! That's not true. Don't get excited.
Aniya,
you...
you said you'd listen to me if you lose the fight.
Yeah.
Then...
Listen to me.
Coach.
Coach?
Before the game, memorise all the rules.
You'll be embarrassed otherwise.
Yeah.
I understand.
All right. Let's go.
Hey!
I'm going to hit the grounder so you guys go.
Huh, you're just a newbie.
Can you do it?
I can.
I'm good at it.
I'm better than you.
Shut up, idiot.
Hey.
Do you know where Imaoka and Hiratsuka are?
Oh?
By the way, did anyone tell them that Yagi became the manager?
Ah!
~Moldau...~
Hira-cchi.
Huh?
What?
That.
Over there.
Is this Principal Andou?
I'm very sorry to say
but about the upcoming game,
I would like to cancel it.

I believe in you guys.
I don't want anyone to miss.
I want you to return...
Here we have the guys from the bottom.
We have a strong bond.
Can you give us some courage again?
I will not quit even if you tell me to.
Everyone wanted to protect it.
I'm on your side.
What the hell did you do?
I want you to believe me so I believe you.
Delinquents do whatever needs to be done.
Can you give us some courage again?
I will not quit even if you tell me to.
You can change with courage.
