9th inning, two outs, one on first base.
Down by one point.
Futagotamagawa Gakuen Senior High School
Yougadaiichi Senior High School
Just one shot for the comeback win.
It'll be all right.
They have worked so hard together
and now they can finally show their true feelings.
Strike!
What an amazing swing.
They have the courage,
and without any hesitation,
they entrusted everything to him.
Strike!
And
Shinjo accepted that responsibility.
No matter what the results end up being.
Have you been brainwashed by Kawato too?
Are you going to betray me?!
I wanted to play baseball!
with everyone, once more,
I wanted to play baseball.
I knew it was going to end up like this.
You can change, as long as you have the courage.
All right! Go!
Out!
Game set!
All right!
Futagotamagawa Gakuen Senior High School
Yougadaiichi Senior High School
And that's it, with the score of 9-8,
Yougadaiichi Senior High School wins.
Face each other, and bow.
Thanks for the game.
You guys did well.
All of you...
It must be unbearable.
But they all did their best.
To be happy.
I thought they were regretting it.
There are no such things as regrets.
They gave it everything they had.
Best of all,
their dreams,
their friendship,
and the importance of effort.
They have gained many things.
Err...
Senpai, I apologize for ever calling you "master of ball picking".
I'm very sorry!
Pretty good team, don't you think?
I'm their captain.
Yes.
The way I see it, we barely won.
All right! You guys did great!
We lost but we won.
No, it's like we won, right?
Are you still worried?
That they will cause problems again and hurt the baseball club's tradition?
I already knew
that you no longer wanted to damage the baseball club's glory.
So in order to protect the pride of the baseball club,
you wanted to end it with your own hands.
Isn't that right?
Captain Murayama.
Nishimura Masatoshi
Tsuji Masaji
Murayama Yoshio
Ikebe Shunsaku
Nota Kimihito
Koyama Sane
That's not true.
The one that protected the pride
was not me.
Those kids did it.
Why couldn't I be like Kawato
and properly face those children like he did?
Why couldn't I make them strive for their dreams like he did?
Why...
Why couldn't I be like Kawato?
The principal and vice-principal went to Koshien?
Yeah.
So that's why he was treating us like that.
That's how important the memories of Koshien were to him.
Flourish in your dreams!
Sparkle in Tomorrow!
Aim for Koshien!!
by Kawato Koichi.
I'll contact the police or whatever I have to do.
Of course, we will somehow take full responsibility in this matter.
I got punched in the middle of the game
by that punk.
Don't ever laugh at other people's dreams!
Just hurry up and fire this violent teacher!
If you can't, I'll take matters in my own hands.
I understand.
We will take responsibility in the form of a resignation.
Principal!
You're fine with that, right?
Hold on a sec!
Aniya.
Stop!
You had better cut the crap, bastard!
Hey!
Why are you going to fire Kawato?
We're the ones you hate!
He's our coach!
If he's not around, then it'll be a bother!
We finally got something started.
Hey! Aniya!
We want to go to Koshien.
We also want to grasp what you call glory!
So stop getting in the way!
I have no intention of getting in the way.
Kawato is not the one that is going to resign.
I am.
Eh?
Principal!
In fact, the board of directors and the board of education have accepted my resignation.
Kunimatsu-san.
Is this acceptable to you?
Will you please drop this issue?
Why?
The other day, I got to watch a good game.
It'll remain in my heart.
It was a good game.
Principal.
Thank you.
Skewed Studios & TimeLesSub presents
Episode 6
This ground has our blood, sweat and tears buried inside.
Yes.
Don't misunderstand me.
I'm just taking responsibility for my subordinates by resigning.
So to speak, I'm covering for your mistakes.
I am...
"Flourish in your dreams!"
"Sparkle in tomorrow!"
Isn't that right?
You...
Just keep striving for your dream.
For you and your students' dream.
Yes.
Ikebe.
Thank you for everything.
It has been a pleasure to be in your care.
Thank you very much!
Captain!
Why are there classes this early in the morning?
Why don't we just go and wait in the clubroom?
Oh. That's a good idea.
Planning to ditch the morning classes?
Huh?
Hey, old geezer.
That's not good.
Outsiders are not allowed.
Right?
That's bad.
That's not good.
So this is where you are.
Oh, Rie.
Good morning.
Good morning to you too, uncle.
Oops.
No, no. I don't mind.
You're my cute niece after all.
By the way,
who are those students?
Oh, they're kids from class 2-B.
They're all members of the baseball club.
Is there a problem?
So that's the baseball club.
Riichi.
Please proceed appropriately for the morning assembly.
All students, please gather in the gymnasium.
I repeat.
Please proceed appropriately for the morning assembly.
All students, please gather in the gymnasium.
Let's stop playing mahjong in the clubroom.
Oh come on, at least let us do this since we quit smoking.
We haven't been fighting either, right?
Right?
Well that's a given.
It's like probation for them.
You too!
It's true!
Good morning!
Oh, it's only you, don't startle us.
Well, you better be startled!
Really.
All right, off to the morning assembly!
We're getting a new principal today.
Hey, Wakana.
Kawato!
What is it?
This is an important moment.
Oh... What?!
Eh.
Today, I'm taking over Principal Murayama as principal.
My name is Fujimura Akihiro.
This morning, I've made some observations.
Within these school grounds,
there seems to be some people causing trouble.
My ethical code is to be frank and principled.
Especially to those who disobey school policies and regulations.
They will be strictly reprimanded by me.
Don't cause trouble.
Ah, it's that geezer.
Fu... Fujimura vice-principal!
Kawato...
Koichi!
Principal!
Principal! Principal!
Why?

The baseball club will be abolished.
Abolished?
If you go against that, I will enforce it strictly.
But the first one who hit with the bat is still playing baseball.
Enatsu.
That shitty team
can only play pretend baseball.
Shut up!
No matter what I'm told,
I will believe in the students!
Congratulations on the promotion to principal.
At the Kandagawa Senior High School, I'm greatly indebted to you.
You...
So you're coaching the baseball club that started the violent incident.
Yes.
But they will no longer cause trouble.
Also, they won't break any more rules.
Because they now have a dream.
I don't know how Principal Murayama handled things around here, but
I will not be as forgiving.
It'll be all right!
Just watch.
Excuse me.
Ah.
Looks like we got a troublesome principal.
Just leave it.
It has nothing to do with us.
Hey, look!
Hey, what's your number?
Here's my number.
Those bastards!
Delinquents going to Koshien are really cool.
Really?
If only we could go to Koshien,
but it's just a dream right, Hirachi?
If you sleep, you can see it.
Well then, I wonder what kind of dream I'll see.
You can't just give up.
Well, if you guys make it to Koshien
I'll give you guys a nice reward
278
279
Wow, you guys are showing some spirit.
What can we do to get better?
Huh?
Oh.
That's right, he's a complete amateur.
No point asking him.
What?
Listen!
You guys!
You're planning something, aren't you?
To be honest,
I think you guys need to play more practice games and gain more experience.
But there aren't many high schools that are willing to play with us.
Kawato!
All right!
Count on me!
Softball Club
Please!
Please let us play a practice game with the softball club.
Well, first of all,
could you make them stop smoking?
Please stop.
They aren't my student's.
They have all quit smoking.
Hello.
Oh?
You're from Mayumi sensei's class,
Matsuzaka Ayako and Ishimine Miho!
I learned every student's name in this school.
Will you excuse me?
Wait wait, is something wrong?
Why are you hesitating like that?
Please, just a practice game.
Well, only under one condition.
Condition?
I don't know!
Sorry Aniya!
Just this one time.
Stop it already.
What's wrong?
We asked the softball club for a practice game.
They'll agree only under the condition that Aniya doesn't play.
A while back, some girl got burnt by a cigarette Aniya threw out the window and now she's scared of him.
It's for the sake of the baseball club. Please understand.
Why are you asking the softball club for practice games anyways?
Isn't softball the same thing as baseball?
Of course not, idiot.
This is so stupid, I can't be doing this. Right?
A game!
With girls too!
Damn it.

Softball Club
Baseball Club
I didn't know they were the best eight in the regional.
Well, now you all know what you're missing.
Enatsu?
You saw him?
Nope.
I wasn't sure.
Oh.
So how did yesterday's game go?
Things called dreams
are not easy to grasp.
Are you trying to say that it's impossible for us?
I'm saying let's get revenge!
Let's play seriously!
All right, next!
First base.
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.
The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
By Channing.
Huh?
As long as they improve,
that's good enough.
Shinjo!
Don't fall behind.
Ten more laps!
All right!
One more time!
All right! Nice shot, Okada!
Don't mind. Don't mind.
Hey, move over.
Ah! It feels good.
You're dirty! Try washing your uniform every once in a while!
It won't come off! You guys are dirty too!
You're dirty too!
You're lucky that yours is clean, Shinjo.
Come with me for a bit.
Eh?
Come on, isn't that enough already?
We've already went over 200.
I said a thousand.
Hey!
We've been friends from long ago.
Don't get so worked up over being a little behind.
That's not it.
I just want to catch up to you guys.
Shinjo..
Everything that you guys have done so far,
I'll take it all by myself.
Come on!
All right!
So,
If you can seriously take a thousand, then I'll approve.
Here we go!
Come on!
Those guys...
You've gotten a lot better at baseball.
I've always had the potential, I tell you.
Potential?
If we consider who to get rid of,
it's got to be...
Yeah..
It'll be Hiratsuka-kun.
That's right.
Hirachi!
Hey!
Err...
"The genius that gets lost."
That's your seventh strike out in a row.
Shut up.
Keep going until I hit one!
What a pain in the ass.
I hit it...
I hit it!
That's just dumb luck.
Aniya.
Hit him in the face.
What!?
Just do as I say.
Don't blame me if he dies.
Not that hard!
Randy Bass!
I knew it.
His natural reflexes makes him react and hit balls going to his face.
Are you serious?
~Moldau~
Looks like Hiratsuka has a spot with the regulars.
Kawato sensei worked really hard to change those kids.
High school students are still immature as human beings,
and Kawato-kun, for trusting those students,
is immature as a teacher.
So those cigarettes are from the baseball club?
Huh?
No! These are not from the baseball club.
This leaves me no choice,
with that club and that advisor.
Who cares what the others think of us?
You know how strict they are about the regulations at Koshien.
Any little accusation could cause trouble.
We have no way to prove that we're not smoking.
Then help me find the culprit.
Oh?
Only women smoke these menthol.
My younger sister...
The sleet is falling...
Book - New compilation of Modern Civilization
The exterior is hard to decipher.
Err... Sensei?
I will bring you some sleet.
This poem,
The poem Kawato just read - Eiketu no asa (The Last Morning) Miyazawa Kenji
while pondering the death of his dying sister,
even then...
even then he feels like a brother who must continue living with a positive attitude...
I can't do this anymore.
Hiratsuka, read the next part.
Hey!
Stop sleeping you guys!
Hiratsu...
Hiratsuka!
But you know, I was surprised to find out that Hiratsuka had a secret weapon.
You guys had better be careful not being chosen as a regular.
Good luck on being a regular.
Oh.
It's been so long.
My little ciggies.
What are you doing there?
Cigarettes?
Sorry, excuse me.
Coming through.
I said I didn't smoke any!
Sensei.
What's the meaning of this?
Those kids had this in their possession.
We didn't smoke any. We just picked them up outside the club room.
There's nothing in their bags.
What do you plan to accomplish by doing this?
If we find a single cigarette, then it's suspension for them.
And the baseball club will be abolished.
Abolished?
Hey, wait a minute...
Wait, Shinjo.
Principal.
Isn't that a bit too much?
I said it before.
Those who break the school rules will be severely punished.
But they just said they didn't smoke.
Are you colluding with the students so they will like you?
Maybe you've stooped down to their level.
A while back, those guys used to smoke like nothing.
You can't argue.
Why can't you just believe them?!
Wait a minute.
It's true that they used to smoke, and that will not be forgiven.
But they've reconsidered and quit.
Isn't it your duty as a teacher to believe them?
Kawato-kun.
If we don't believe in them,
then who will?
Doesn't a teacher need to be able to understand his students,
even if a teacher has to get down on the floor and beg?
The students are now trying to find themselves.
What they are thinking now, what role they are going to play.
Let's hear what they have to say carefully.
Teachers are teachers.
I don't argue with your ideals.
But...
No matter how hard you try,
teachers can not stand in the student's position.
No matter what you say,
I believe my students.
Until the time I retire and stop being a teacher,
I will be the same as I am now.
Please do a body search.
Principal!
That's enough, Kawato.
What will you do if everyone became your enemy?
They are threatening to abolish the baseball club only because we're being suspected.
We may be foolish,
but those who believe us,
will never be betrayed by us.
Wakana.
If we give up our dreams over something that stupid,
then it will also look bad to Murayama who thanked us.
Go ahead and check.
Want me to strip naked?
But actually I'd rather have Mayumi-sensei do it, nya.
But...
You guys...
It can't be helped.
Because we're delinquents after all.
Sensei...
Look. It was these girls.
It was you girls...?
We're sorry.
I am their home room teacher.
The one that was immature as a teacher was me.
I'm terribly sorry.
Mayumi-sensei.
To you guys who got accused,
I'm sorry.
Let's go now.
It's all right;
as long as the accusations end.
Hey!
Cut the crap!
They will no longer cause any problems.
Kawato-kun.
There's actually one thing that worries me.
Huh?
A high school baseball team from Kanagawa prefecture
was suspended for half a year for a fighting incident.
That's stupid, isn't it?
Those guys were hundreds of times closer to Koshien than us.
We got half a year too.
Cut it out with these tiresome memories.
Huh?
By the way, where's Hiyama?
This isn't good.
Regulars...
That's so lame!
Hey.
Want me to teach you how to hit?
Watch who you're talking to!
No matter what anyone says, I will believe in my students.
Huh?
What?
You're not gonna do anything?
Megurogawa High School?
Aniya and the guys all ended up taking the blame too.
But the first one who hit with the bat
is currently attending Megurogawa High School
and still playing baseball.
Baseball?
Looks like fun.
Let me join.
You...
Hello?
Enatsu.
But even if Aniya and the guys knew about Enatsu,
they wouldn't resort to violence.
Just a minute.
Hello?
Sensei.
Hiyama!
Wakana!
Enatsu.
You guys are still playing baseball?
Well, I am, too.
It's not like I'm going to quit.
I can't let this talent go to waste.
Right? Aniya?
You piece of shit.
Flourish in your dreams!
Sparkle in Tomorrow!
Aim for Koshien!!
by Kawato Koichi.
Probably some shitty team that practises all year long, right?
A shitty team like that can only play pretend baseball.
Right? Aniya?
That time I should have abolished the club for good.
Shut the fuck up!

As a fellow man.
Who does this kind of thing and still be allowed to play?
Are you really having a game with Megurogawa High School?
It's not worth playing with a bastard like him.
You guys won't lose as long as you work as a team.
Let's go!
The goal is this summer's Koshien.
It is now time for the baseball club of Nikogaku to evolve!
I will go to Koshien with you guys.
We can't do it.
We've been gathering momentum up until now.
Then can you beat Enatsu?
I can't lose.
Because he's my rival.
...bid farewell to your former selves.
Grasp the true meaning of victory.
