if you asked me to keep going...

\

Yone: I wouldn't have been able to do it.
Yone: I'm not fit enough to play at that level for 40 minutes.

\

Guy: That's true for me, too.

Mejiro? Meguro? whatever: Me too.
I'm completely useless...

(page014)

Yasuda: It seems like our side isn't suited to play the long prelimenary seasons.

\

Yasuda: We become soft.

\

Yasuda: I predicted the appearance of a rival today.

\

Yasuda: Because of this, we would become strong again.

\

(page015)

Yasuda: Remain in your team.
Yasuda: Next year, when the Tigers come back for revenge... if you get beaten, there will be no argument.
