EPISODE 17: THE GOOD FOR NOTHING TEAM
Gelt...
I've been waiting for you.
You're always so beautiful.
Won't you come and eat with me?
I refuse!
No!
Let me go!
Hey big boy, why don't you leave her alone?
Joe!?
Mr. Gelt.
You really are a poor loser.
Damn it!
If you weren't the boss' favorite, I'd kill you!
You saved me again.
Nah.
Anyway, wanna come and eat with me?
With pleasure!
It's an honor to be invited by a division 1 player... like you!
How do you like life in division 1?
Everything's different from division 2.
The Rand stadium is like a kingdom
The president is the king, and division 1 is his court.
Division 1 and 2 are way too different.
Ah, this was not on the menu.
Be careful, Joe.
They will do anything possible to get into or stay in division 1.
It was like that in division 2.
Wherever I am, I'm in danger.
Exactly!
Sometimes I feel that...
I'm the one who shouldn't be here.
They're guys who aren't afraid to kill.
Be careful, Joe.
It's sweet, that a beauty would look out for me.
By the way, may I ask a favor of you?
Hello, Miranda
Hi.
Here is what you asked me for.
So soon?
How did you get that?
Easy!
The engineer was fascinated with my legs.
I took advantage of it!
But, why do you need the plans of the stadium?
I'm new here.
I want to get to know the place so I don't get lost.
But you won't find the girls' locker room.
Can I use your laser Shower?
Sure, go for it.
That Joe!
Even though he has a beauty like me over...
57 districts in whole...
Take a look at Joe's room.
It seems he's in the shower now.
Ok...
Go be a champion in your own paradise!
Well, if they're hiding drugs from planet Rodo around here...
There's no access to that place.
That must be it for sure!
Miranda!
Are you ok Miranda?
It gets boring out of season.
Yeah, that's true!
So, what about that Joe guy who just arrived?
Don't know.
Judging on the number of guards here the drugs are hidden in district D-21
How can I get past the security...
Hey, rookie!
I heard...
Your shower became an oven and your girl nearly turned into a roast beef!
Accidents are scary.
Beware of accidents yourself!
What are you doing?
Sorry, Mr. Gelt
It was an accident.
The bat slipped out of my hands
damn you bastard!
Gelt,
Stop!
But. Mr Blood!
He started it!
I don't care!
You fight during games!
I've heard that killing is no crime during the games...
The same goes for training.
Except for personal reasons.
Gather around!
Today, the following will be training division 2.
Myself, Gelt, Himler, Hildus, and Dragon.
How many necks am I gonna break?
Ok, take your position!
Joe!
Hey, it's Joe!
Ron!
Hello!
I see you've done well!
My former covenant!
I'm glad that we will train together!
I'm glad to see you too.
Hope your muscles are the same steel as before?
Ron, what's this training?
It a test to see if any division 2 players can move to division 1.
Ok. Let start!
Pitcher, throw!
Miserable looser!
Come back in ten years!
Next!
Put against the best blockers they'll never wake up.
The first division thinks of us as their training toys.
They force you guys to do this?
Not at all!
We get selected after a long competition.
Luckily, I was selected too!
Luckily?
Well, yeah!
If by a miracle I defeated a division 1 player...
I would take his place!
I would have the life of a division 1 player!
Ok, change of player.
I have no chance against Blood.
But against another player...
Don't do it!
You still don't understand!
To be in Division 1 is our only goal in life!
I'll take my chances!
Come on!
Those who don't care about their lives may come!
Chill out!
How dare you!
Who's next, ladies?
The fight isn't over
Ron!
Joe...
Tell my brothers...
not to avenge me...
to run away as fast as they can...
I was wrong to get them into rug-ball...
Ron...
A training game?
Between division 1 and division 2, so as to find any good players in div 2
But this time the game is for you.
For me?
Yes, you'll be the 2nd division's first baseman.
We'll see your capabilities at this precious post.
Even our training games draft people
So?
Will you protect the first base against 1 division?
The security is sure to be lighter.
What a perfect occasion to find the drug traffic's location.
What's the matter?
Do even you fear 1 division?
You're kidding?
I'm ready for some real combat.
All the training is only making me sweat.
I'll do it!
That's what I thought.
The match is in one week.
You've got to find your six partners.
Division 2 has 24 teams, spread into alphabetical order.
Each team has 500 players.
But they're all alike.
I'll let you choose.
What?
The Z team has only 6 players?
Oh, Z?
It's not a team.
They are the worst players in Division 2.
Big the Big?
Him?
That's the Good-for-nothing Team.
The other members are in the hospital or were traded.
Only those six rebels remain.
So what team do you choose?
Ok!
I'll take those six.
What the...
Why exactly those six?
You just told me to choose my team.
But?
Why not let him do as he pleases?
It will be funny...
The Z team.
It will be really funny to see...
How he's going to manage those good-for-nothings bastards.
Hey, Rookie!
Where are you headed with a face like that?
Somewhere...
I'll take another shot and buy you one.
Come on!
Sorry, next time.
Bastard!
Do you refuse my invitation?
What?
Bastard...
Security!
Bah, what a waste!
Later.
Hey, you!
Where is the Z team's dormitory?
The Z team?
That stair, over there.
I thought I couldn't go down any farther, but it's still lower?
You really want to go there?
Stop!
I can't!
This is urgent!
Well, it's not my problem if you go!
What was his problem?
Are there monsters maybe?
What an ugly place!
And dark!
Don't you know it's hell down here!
What are you doing here?
Do I look like I'm on a picnic?
I don't have any basket.
A funny one!
Don't be so aggressive.
I have a request.
Do you want to join my team?
He's crazy!
It's not that stupid as your face.
You're all rug-ball players, aren't you!
Shut up!
Vanish or I'll knock you out!
Keep that to peel apples with.
Bastard!
Stop!
Bring me that man.
He has guts.
You're lucky!
Your boss seems more reasonable.
It's you who's their boss, Big the Big?
Nice attitude.
What do you want from us?
It's being a long time, Zack Simon.
Since when do big pirates play rug-ball?
What?
Well, when a pirate quits, they either travel far away...
or join up with others who don't care about their pasts.
Here, the Galactic Patrol is out of their jurisdiction
Who are you?
How do you know my name?
"Big the Big" is your favorite weapon
Standing 270 cm tall, you are a grizzly.
I see...
I don't know who you are...
But if you know my identity, I can't let you leave alive.
Don't try to be scary.
You're already scary enough!
It can't be...
You are...
Who else has a panda tattoo next to their belly button?
So, you really are...
Cobra!
You're alive!
That's not cool Cobra.
You shouldn't change your face...
Let go, everyone will gossip if they see us.
I'm so happy, Cobra!
I wouldn't have thought you could've come here!
What are you doing here?
It's a long story.
Could you get your men to join my team?
I personally can't refuse.
But my guys...
Boss!
What happened?
Serombo
Known for his great combat skill.
It looks like it.
He killed his best friend while training.
Leo is a first class pitcher!
His skill and control over the pitching machine is top notch.
But he's into cards now.
Hence, he is now in division 2.
7 of spades!
That's pretty good.
Geck, Sanda, and Gyla are brothers.
They are fast and good batters but physically weak.
I've come here, tired of piracy, to have a rest...
We don't want to play rug-ball anymore.
That is...
We all have our reason for hating 1 division.
Do you see these guys...
their older brother got killed.
You mean Ron?
Do you know him?
Yep.
The way he was killed, it's natural for you to want Gelt dead.
So...
He knows that Geck tried to kill Gelt.
Boss!
Sorry!
But this man must die!
Geck!
Come here, Geck!
Geck, you dared to try to kill me?
What are you talking about?
You're not innocent!
That model of knife is a common...
But everyone says it's your knife!
Whoever should attack a player of division 1 will be executed,
including the ones protecting him
You know the stadium rules!
Anyway the president will be only happy if the Z team is erased.
You stupid bastards are useless!
You're an idiot as always, Mr. Gelt!
What?
That knife is mine.
What?
I love knives.
I've given them to a lot of people
Like to who?
I don't remember!
And it's impossible to know who wants to kill you,
because everyone wants you dead.
Should we discuss this knife matter in front of the president?
You're taking advantage of you being his favorite
We'll meet later!
I don't like it.
What?
We must now join his team in return for his help
That was not my intention...
But, I must tell Ron's brothers his last words.
His last words?
"Not to avenge me..."
"to run away as fast a they can..."
"I was wrong to get them into rug-ball."
Yo, rookie!
You gave me a hard time yesterday.
Shouldn't you be playing with the Z team?
They didn't scare you off, did they?
Hey, guys!
Some division 1 people were worried you weren't here
Thanks for the concern
Bastard!
He got the Z team!
Come on!
It's training time!
