175) 1: Ahhhh... 2: Bessho...! 3: Yeaaaaaaah! 4: Owww.... 5: I still don't get that change-up sign... 6: Ussh... 7: Ahh...B...Bessho struck out... 8: Bessho... 9-10: clamor clamor 11: I can't believe it... Vol. 205 - The Mound of Soul
176) 1: That was amazing! What is he thinking?! 2: Aniya threw pure straights at Bessho up until now. 3: Kuhh...so he really did it! 4: Dammit! Hey, we've gotta knock them down here! 5: Yeah, don't let anyone get out of there! 6: Yeah!
177) 1: Bessho-san! 2: Heheh! That son of a bitch! 3: Nikogaku's Aniya! 4: A one-on-one competition is...is the place where Sasazaki truly shines...and yet...dammit!! 5: Kawakami! 6: Don't think about anything. 7: Just show them the true... 8: soul pitching!
178) 1: Alright! 2: Listen up! Just one more point! 3: One more point and we can win! 4: Our batting order is superior! Let's end this now! 5: Alright, let's do this! 6: Here comes the sayonara! 7: Gooooo! Nikogaku goooo!!
179) 1: Tuck your guts in!! 2: Yeaaaah! 3: Let's lay it on 'em! 4: Kawakamiiii! Take it easy! 5: Leave the backup to us! 6: Three strikes is more than enough, Kawakamiiii! 7: No, actually, aim for that! 8-10: Kawakamiiiii! 11: Ever since we entered the extension, haven't they gotten a little more talkative? 12: clamor clamor 13: Aren't things always like that? 14: Or maybe it's because we've never seen such a close match like this before.
180) 1: Kuahh 2: Striiiike! 3: Batter out! 4: Okay! Kawakami, nice fork! 5: Keep this pace up! 6: That's it, keep that ball running! 7: Ahah...they... 8: look like Nikogaku... 9: No...not just because they're talking now, it's the way that they're doing it... 10: They haven't changed. 11: Eh...no...but until now... 12: They've reverted. 13: Gradually, 14: to their true forms.
181) 1: Soul is key to an super-attack formation.
182) 1: I...it hit! 2: R...run! 3: Run, Hamanaka! 4: Calculated elite baseball is Sasazaki's true style. 5: Everyone was simply numbed by their unrefined appearance. 6: The crowd, and the players.
183) 1: Ahhhh, the toss! 2: Safe! 3: What, are you serious?! 4: You did it, Hamanaka! 5: He's the sayonara runner!
184) 1: Hahaha! You little bastard! 2: Yeaaaaaaah! 3: Don't worry about it, Kawakami! 4: Let's do the get two! 5: Y...yeah! 6: It's fine! Do your best, Kawakami! 7: Kawakamiiii! 8: Your heart most likely burned as well, and you risked everything you had when you were a player! 9: Did you ever think about what that man from the stands was shouting about Sasazaki baseball?!
185) 1: Please! 2: Please let me pitch! 3: We have to change There's no way you can pitch like that! 4: This wound isn't anything at all! 5: Please! Please let me throw it! 6: We beg you too, coach! 7: Chiba will definitely make it for us! 8: Coach! 9: Coach! 10: Muu... 11: Kuh...
186) 1: I have no choice...I'll allow you to return to the mound. 2: Coach! 3: But with a catch. 4: Let Ogasawara walk with your next pitch. 5: This is an order. 6: Real Sasazaki baseball 7: is... 8: Ahh, here comes Chiba! 9: Listen to all those cheers! 10: After sending a runner to second base he momentarily returned to the bench, and we thought there'd be a change, but it seems like he is going to continue pitching!
187) 1: The batter he is up against is the tournament slugger, Ogasawara! 2: Chiba has already allowed this man to get a home run today! 3: How is the dead ball wound influencing his head? 4: There is one base left open... 5: Chiba... 6: You're really something... 7: The catcher is ready in the center. 8: What a fight! 9: Alright, that's it! Go, Chiba! 10: Chiba! 11: C'mon, Chiba! 12: That guy...
190) 1: #4 Pitcher, Aniya-kun! 2: The pitcher, Aniya-kun! 3: Murata! 4: Y...yes? 5: How many pitches has Kawakami thrown so far? 6: Um...er... 7: 132.
191) 1: It's certainly not a small number. 2: But his force hasn't dropped! 3: Yes. 4: It seems that way. 5: Coach... 6: Kawakamiiii! 7: Two outs!
192) 1: Fight them! 2: Show them your Sasazaki spirit! 3: clamor
193) 1: Y...yes sir!

154) 1-3: clamor clamor 4: Th...they caught up... 5: See! See see see! 6: Hiratsuka did it! 7: He went absolutely crazy, but he did it! 8: I can't believe it...and with a swing like that... 9: Just what...what is with that team... 10: No! 11: wait wait wait wait! 12: wait a minute! 13: What? 14: That cross play just now! 15: Something's wrong there! 16: Huh? What are you saying so desperately like that? Vol. 204 - Extended? Excellent!
155) 1: Wasn't that a safe? 2: At the point where Kawakami dropped the ball. 3: Huh? 4: No matter how quickly you jump down to pick up the ball, you still have to touch it a second time, right?! 5: Right, Yoshi-san?! 6: It's an out. 7: Right?! The rules say that 8: Ehhhh, seriously!? 9: He kept the ball firmly during the cross play. 10: He dropped it after the out had happened.
156) 1: Kakaka! He's right. 2: B...but he jumped down desperately... 3: We can't take every little minor detail into account when it comes to rules. 4: Each separate play is a frantic one. 5: If a ball is dropped, then jumping down is natural. 6: That's what players do. 7: What were you doing!? Why would you go around that way!? 8: Yeah! Just go die already! 9: We could have said sayonara there! 10: I can't believe this! I can't believe that idiot! 11: Hey, at least just be happy that we got a tie!
157) 1: You're really something, Hiratsuka! I can't believe you hit that! 2: You really are... 3: Hiratsuka... 4: Huh? 5: Heheh... 6: ...aw, come on. 7: Alright everyone, time for the extension! 8: Okay! Defense, defense! 9: Ha ha haaaah! An extension! Did you see that?! 10: This is what Nikogaku's all about! 11: I told you to hit the ball right before while dodging, didn't I? 12: You could have died there. 13: What kind of a player hits like that?
158) 1: You really were awesome out there, though. 2: Hitting the ball under all that pressure! 3: The timeliest miracle I've ever seen! 4: But it's just a stupid tie now. 5: It's because it was you out there, Hiratsuka-kun, that we got this tie. 6: I've never seen something that amazing. 7: It's alright. I know we can win this. 8: Now let's go to Koushien!
159) sfx: fukohh.... 1: Alriiiiiight! 2: Move it, pitcher change! 3: The tie man Hiratsuka has arriiived! 4: What?! 5: I don't wanna hear sorry!
160) 1: Who cares if it's a tie?! 2: Stuff like this happens! 3: Your pitching is the best, remember?! 4: B...Bessho-san... 5: All we need to do is keep attacking! 6: Let's show them the real Sasazaki! 7: That's right, the real game starts now! 8: Extended? Excellent! 9: Bessho-san... 10: Everyone... 11: A...alright! 12: OK, everyone get into a circle! 13: Let's all go out there together! 14: Don't you underestimate us, Nikogaku!
161) 1: We're definitely going to Koushien! 2: Let's do it one more time! 3(2b): Yeaaahhh! You're our Captain, aren't you?! 4: These boys... 5-6: clamor clamor 7: Kuhaaah...a tie? 8: Why can't they just win cleanly like usual? 9: They're like, getting all desperate and shit now. 10: Look at them, making another circle like that. Are you gonna be OK? 11: What's wrong with being desperate? 12: Eh...?! 13: Er..uh... 14: These guys have been desperately fighting since the very beginning!
162) 1: Saitou... 2: Gooo, ruuuun! Fujimotooooo! 3: You can make iiiiit! 4: Fujimotooooo! 5: Ouuuuuut!
163) 1: I might have been mistaken. 2: Huh? 3: Don't mind it! 4: OK! 5: Let's take it easy now, Nakajima! 6: Hit it and go, hit it and go! 7-9: Nakashimaaaaa! 10: I think Koushien really is the kind of place... 11: you don't go to because of feeling responsibility, 12: or from wanting to return a debt... 13: It isn't the sort of place you go to with a sense that it's your mission. 14: It's somewhere you go for your own glory... 15: A place you go after playing desperately and winning.
164) 1: Saitou... 2: That's why there's something wrong with only winning alone. 3: They should be out there fighting with the best plays they've got 4: that they desperately tried to perfect during practice. 5: If they do that, then it shouldn't be painful no matter the result. 6: Don't mind it! Aniya, your force is dropping! 7: Let's end it all in one hit! 8: Suda, you've got it today! 9: Hand it over to Bessho! 10: Suda-san, fiiiiight!
165) 1: I'm positive they all understand too.
166) 1: Yeaaaah, it got throoough! 2: Kuh... 3: #4, side fielder, Bessho-kun! 4: side fielder, Bessho-kun! 5: Yeah! 6: Besshooo! We're counting on you! 7: Bessho! 8: Aniya! We've got two outs! 9: Stay calm! 10: Aniya! 11: Don't worry.
167) 1: How could I let them get a hit at this stage of the game? 2: Play! 3: One more shot! 4: Besshooooo! 5: Number fooour! 6-10: Bessho!
168) 1: Kei-chan...! 2: Striiiiike! 3: Ohhhh, here comes the head-on duel! 4: Don't hold back, Bessho! 5: Besshoooo!
169) 1: We won't lose. 2: Huh? 3: We've offered up our lives this far, all for the sake of Koushien. 4: Our motivation is different from yours!
170) 1: Fouuuuul! 2: Woahhh, so close! 3: Just a little more! 4: Do one mooore! 5: Aniyaaa! Two strikes! 6: Second! C'mon, second! 7-10: Bessho! 11: Kei-chan...
171) 1: If we're talking about Koushien idiots, then we're right up there with you. 2: I wonder about that. 3-5: Aniya! 6: The ones who are gonna win 7: Kei-chan!
143) 1: I 2: am the man who's got to shine on the sayonara stage!!
144) 1: Ahh... 2: That idiot...
148) 1: Crawl on up. 2: This is your beginning.
149) 1: Kawakamiiiiii!
150) 1: I promise to bring Sasazaki to Koushien next year too. 2: Alright?
151) 1: Go! This is the year! 2: This is our mission! 3: No, that isn't right. Not because this is our mission... 4: I just want to go so badly. 5: I want to beat these guys! 6: That's what it's changed to. 7: Right. Murata? 8: I'm not the one bringing you all. 9: I feel that from the bottom of my heart.
152) 1: Koushien is something 2: we all have to grasp ourselves. 3: Ouuuuuuuuut! https://mangahelpers.com/t/molokidan/releases/32183[English] [Translation] Rookies 202 by molokidan2011-11-13T01:52:12+00:00molokidanadmin@mangahelpers.comROOKIES #202

118) 1-3: clamor 4: Hahaaaah! Man, do you know how scared you got us?! 5: Ahahaha! Ahahahahahaaaa! 6: Woahhh, did you see that hit?! 7: Did you see that?! 8: Dammit! That should have ended everything. 9: Don't mind it. 10: Sorry, Kawakami. 11: I can't believe it, they came back to life twice! 12: Well, either way you look at it, it just means that "game set" has been held off until we send one more person out. 13: Don't mind it. 14: Okay. 15: These things happen sometimes... Vol. 202 - Can you hear the Hiratsuka Call?
119) 1: Should we call it luck, or a miracle? A miracle, maybe. 2: Just before the game was set, a single fluke kept them hanging on. 3: If they win with that, it really will be a miracle. 4: No, no, look! He's finally coming out. 5: The guy with 27 strikeouts? 6: Well, these are the exact types of situations were he ends up being useful...probably. 7: Ku ku... 8: Right? Right, Yoshi-san?! 9: Who knows. 10: I sure don't. 11: Ahahahaha! 12: Except...that crappy hit just now was certainly a miracle called up by the tenacity of Nikogaku. 13: But that means we must also ask ourselves...
120) 1: Are miracles the kind of thing that happen one after another? 2: Futagogawa Academy is changing its player! 3: In exchange for #9, Imaoka-kun, is 4: Hiratsuka-kun! 5: Yeaaaaaaaah! 6: #9, second baser, Hiratsuka-kun! 7: Ohhhhh?! 8: What?! 9: Uniform number 10!
121) 1: That's it?! 2: There was no point to that! 3: Are you sure you're gonna be alright out there?! 4: And what was that hypnosis about before!? Hypnosis!?!? 5: Shut up.
122) 1: Nnn... 2: I can hit it! I can hit it! I can hit it! I can hit it! 3: STOOOOOOP! 4: What's that guy playing around for? 5: Kawakamiii! Make him strike out! 6: Can this clown! 7: Do you know what kind of a situation you're in?! 8: This is our last chance! 9: Get ahold of... 10: This may just be his way to relax. 11: Wh...what?! 12-14: One more!
123) 1-2: One more! 3: I...it's started again... 4: But it's alright...Hiratsuka will do something for us... 5: Hiratsuka has to... 6: Hiratsuka! 7: Shut up, let me concentrate! 8-10: One more! 11: No matter how confident Hiratsuka may be, this is the final stage that will decide the match.... 12: He's got to be nervous...
124) 1: Can you hear it, Hiratsuka? 2: One more! 3: Huh?! 4: One more! 5: This huge Hiratsuka Call! 6: Huh? 7-9: One more! 10: All you need to do is hit the ball, and it's sayonara! 11: That's what they're saying. 12: Wha... 13-16: One more!
125) 1: ...no, it sounds like! 2: Hiiiratsuka! 3: ratsuka! 4-5: Hiratsuka! 6: Ohh... 7-8: Hiratsuka! 9: Ohhhh... 10: What do you mean, "Ohhh"...? 11: Eh... 12: Ohhhhhhhhh
126) 1: Play! 2: Alright, here it comes! 3: That's it! Just one more! 4-5: One more! 6: I can hear it... 7-8: One more! 9: The huge cheers, all for me... 10: Kawakami...so this guy is Kawakami... 11: Bastard's got some big ears on him. 12: Fool! 13: You think they're cheering for you, don't you? 14: One more! 15: But all these cheers are toward me... 16: One more!
127) 1: Cheers calling for my sayonara! 2: The first ball! Send the first ball flying! 3: To the left stands!!
128) 1: Eyaaaah 2: Striiiike! 3: Ahhh... 4: Gyahahaha! He's no good! 5: Are his eyes even open? 6: Hiratsuka... 7: Hiratsukaaaaaaa! 8: Kuh...
129) 1: We've worked so hard all this time just to connect it to Hiratsuka... 2: I felt, though, that even if we suddenly connected it to him like that, that probably nothing would happen. 3: It's true that if it comes straight to his face, his wild defensive instincts give him the possibility of hitting it. 4: But such a feat is impossible against Kawakami! 5: If we must reach out for a single ray of hope in this despairing situation, however, then I suppose he's all we have... 6: Hiratsukaaa! Get over here! 7: Mu?! 8: Doesn't matter how much you talk! 9: Give it up, #10! 10-13: One more!
130) 1: Alright, go! 2: One more! 3: O...okay... 4: One more! 5: Let's see your fighting spirit, Hiratsuka! 6-7: One more! 8: Play! 9-11: One more! 12: Hiratsuka... 13-15: One more!
131) 1: What did you tell him, sensei? 2: Hm? ...oh... 3: Your chance to go out there and hit it seriously is exceedingly close to zero. 4: But there is one way to call a good ball. 5: A good ball? 6: A straight-on face ball isn't gonna come. 7: And if it doesn't come, then you just have to make one yourself.
132) 1: N...no way... 2: Whether you hit it or not, though, is up to you.
133) 1: Ahhh, so he really is gonna go hit it straight-on?! 2: He's nuts! 3: Uooohhhhhhhhh 4: We'll just have to bet everything else on your miracle swing! https://mangahelpers.com/t/molokidan/releases/32182[English] [Translation] Rookies 201 by molokidan2011-11-13T01:51:54+00:00molokidanadmin@mangahelpers.comROOKIES #201

101) 1: It's coming, it's coming! 2: Kawakami is going to bring it to us 'till the end. 3: If he can pitch this well at the end, then I understand Chiba-san telling him not to swing back there. 4: You think things will just go this smoothly? 5: Looks like he's broken through. 6: Eh? 7: Seems like Kawatou's idiotic actions have given Kawakami the confidence and courage he needed. 8: Look at that face.
102) 1-5: One more! 6: Kawakami...you really are amazing. 7-8: One more! 9: Dammit, shut up! 10: Strange... 11: Why is he swinging too late...? 12: Is this to say my hypnosis didn't work...?!
103) 1-2: One more! 3: Yufune... 4: Please...
104) 1: Nya... 2: Strike! 3: Ahhhhh... 4: Alright! One more strike! 5: Whyyyyy?! Why is he swinging so late?! 6: Ahh...come on... 7: Is this the end...?

107) 1: Wha...what...?! 2: Prepared to shoot a farewell homer!! 3-5: One more! 6: Alright, now just one more of those fast ones. 7: A final one to settle it all.
108) 1-2: One more! 3: Yufune... 4: A...anything is fine...just swing fast...! Swing fast! 5: Swing fast! Swing fast! 6: Don't worry! 7: Your swings are fast! 8: My hypnosis is workiiiiing!!
116) 1: Nyaaaaaaaaah 2: Wh...what the?! 3: What was that just now??! 4: The bat swung completely around...?! 5: How is that possible?! 6: He connected! He connected iiiit! 7: Woahhhh! Awesome! 8: We can do this! We can do this, dammit! 9: Ha...ahh... 10: Hawa...wah....

82) Vol. 200 - Hypnosis 1-2: clamor 3: What is WRONG with you?! 4: Pulling such a stunt during a formal game... 5: I can't believe you. 6: I've never heard of a coach going to another's mound or bench during a game like that. 7: Won't this be problematic later? Hyahya! 8: You sound so happy.
83) 1: But Kawakami swung, so he probably ignored his sign. 2: I wonder if the coach got mad at him. 3: Fuh! 4: It'd be ridiculous to expect him not to swing in a situation like that, though. 5: Chiba probably really wanted to praise Kawakami for that, though. 6: Praise him? 7: For his true reality. 8: Sasazaki's true reality. 9: An extreme attack formation 10: was Sasazaki's original form, after all.
84) 1-2: Bottom of the ninth... 3: One more point left...! 4: We've been fighting with the kings, Sasazaki, up until now... 5: and we've finally made it this far...! 6: It's painful not to see my name over there, but... 7: But I'm fighting too! Along with everyone!
85) 1: Bottom of the ninth! Futagotamagawa Academy's attack formation begins with 2: #6 right fielder, Okada-kun! 3: Watch the ball closely! 4: Okada! Calm down! 5: Right fielder, Okada-kun! 6: Hooo... 7: Okada... 8: Okada, Hiyama, Yufune...one is enough...just bring one of them out...! 9: I have no proof, but...I have the feeling that something's going to happen! 10: If only we can connect it to Hiratsuka!
86) 1: If only one of them can get on a base, 2: Kawatou will probably use me immediately regardless of who the batter is. 3: But if we get two outs without anyone landing on a base... 4: Then I'll have to bear the burden of a deadlock home run along with Yufune... 5: But...that won't be enough... 6: If it comes to that, my meaning as a batter will be halved... 7: I... 8: I'm the one who's gotta shine as the goodbye batter!!
87) 1: Play! 2: Dammit...I'll show you... 3: Just watch me... 4: I'm gonna hit a deadlock homer... 5: Okada... 6: Okadaaaaaa!
88) 1: Striiiike! 2: Ohhh... 3: Th...there it is... 4: So...fast... 5: Kuh... 6: Kawakami... 7: Kawakami! 8: That's our boy... 9: Niiiiice, Kawakamiiiii! 10: Now just three more! 11: Blow 'em out of there!
89) 1: Ahhh... 2: Okadaaaa! Your swing was too slow! 3: Kuh... 4: Yu...Yufune, c'mon over here for a second. 5: Huh? What? 6-8: Kawakamiiii! 9: "Stay true 10: to the dreams of thy youth." 11: Fuh... 12: Weirdo... 13: Striiiike!
90) 1: Huh?! What's going on?! 2: Just watch it. 3: I'm gonna put hypnosis on you now. 4: And you're gonna become the fastest batter on this planet! 5: Wh...what are you talking about? 6: Just sit down! None of those guys out there are gonna be able to follow that ball anyway. 7: This is a matter of feeling. 8: If you stand up to it with a fast swing, that ball might as well not even be moving. 9: R... 10: Really?! 11: Yeah, obviously. 12: Now waaatch closelyyyy! 13: Your swings are gonna get fasterrrr, way fasterrrr! 14: That's right! Fasterrr, fasterrrr!
91) 1: Fasterrrr... 2: Fasterrr, my swings will get... 3: I'm seriously counting on you! You hit that sacrifice fly.... 4: Even if Okada and Hiyama go down, you'll stand up to land on the base next. 5: I'm gonna land on the base... 6: That's right, fasterrrr... 7: I'm fine going after you. 8: Hiratsuka... 9: Striiiike! 10: Batter out! 11: Ahhhhh!
92) 1: Dammit! 2: Even knowing that it's a winning pitch fork, after seeing a ball that fast... 3: No...not quite. 4: Huh? 5: The drop of the fork is getting duller. 6: Mmm...continual forks dull one's grip. 7: Kawakami's fork is clearly losing its oomph. 8: Th...then... 9: Hiyama! 10: The fork! 11: Aim for the winning pitch fork! 12: The fork...
93) 1: Looks like things are almost over. 2: Nikogaku put up a great fight, though. 3: They took four points from Sasazaki, after all. 4: What are you saying? Things aren't over yet. 5: How could they win at this point? 6: They have Hiratsuka! 7: Nikogaku's batting trump card, Hiratsuka Taira! 8: He hit a farewell homer in the first Youga game! 9: Heh! And how are his other stats? 10: Others? 11: Leave it to me! 12: Heheh! I've got data on Nikogaku all the way down to their scrimmages! 13: kacha kacha 14: Huh? 15: He's been up to bat 29 times... 16: and hit two homers... 17: Hoh.
94) 1: And.... 2: 27 3: strike-outs. 4: Gyahahaha! Are you kidding me?! 5(2b): Everything besides his home runs were strikeouts?! That's ridiculous! 6: Please!
96) 1: No, it's alright! 2: He hit the bottom of the fork ball just now. 3: Proof that the drop is getting duller. 4: Hey, Yufune! 5: Sorry, but we're in big trouble now... 6: Wait a minute. 7: It isn't my turn yet. 8: What?! 9: I understand you wanting to use me here in the eleventh hour. 10: Right now, though, Yufune's so hot that it doesn't even look like the ball is moving to him. 11: Right? 12: No one can beat my batting speed! 13: I have confidence!
97) 1: #8, first baser, Yufune-kun! 2: Is...is this really OK...? 3: Leave it to me! 4: First baser, Yufune-kun! 5: Th...they aren't going to change it up...? 6: Y...you can still change your mind, Kawatou-kun! 7: W...we already have two outs! 8: Alriiiight! This is the last one! Let's goooo! 9-10: Kawakamiiiii! 11: One moooore! 12: No... 13: Let's place our bets on Yufune.
98) 1: Play! 2-6: One more! 7: Yufune said he has confidence, and I'm going to believe in him! 8: I feel something coming from him now! 9: Hiratsuka's hypnosis has given me unparalleled batting speed! 10: Bring it on! Your straight is nothing to me! 11: What's he thinking? 12: How can he have that much confidence... 13: Fufu...
66) Vol. 199 - The Normal Kawatou 1: Okay! Let's go say goodbye, everyone! 2: Yeaaaah! 3: Ahhhh... 4: That was their last chance... 5: B...but Kawakami swung! 6: clamor 7: H...he swung...was that a sign just now...?! 8: Kawakami...
68) 1: Alright, Aniya! Nice pitch! 2: Listen up, everyone! There's only a one point distance left! 3: Let's make this farewell go out right! 4: yeah! 5: Hm? What's wrong? 6: No... 7: I think Kawakami-kun really wanted to go out and hit from the beginning. 8: Even that intentional walk was surely painful to him. 9: What are you saying? The crowd kept booing him like that, so he had no choice but to swing! 10: Yeah, he can't swing to begin with, anyway, so he was probably just told that he didn't have to. 11: it's true that he doesn't really hit much, but...
69) 1: Nothing will begin unless the bat was swung -- and yet he wasn't even allowed to do that much... 2: That kind of baseball seems a bit lonely to me.
70) 1: Let's just say that it's that system of management that's kept Sasazaki strong up until now. 2: Players have no choice but to follow their orders. 3: It's normal, you know... 4: A normal thing.
71) 1-3: clamor clamor 4: What 5: is Kawakami doing? 6: clamor clamor 7: Uwahh, look at that...Kawakami and the coach can't even look at each other... 8: Did he really want to swing just now...? Well, he did was he was ordered to, but... 9: Kawakami.
73) 1: Hm? 2: H...huh? Hold on, Kawatou-san! 3: Hey, you can't go out like that! 4: H...hey! 5: Uwah...that idiot... 6-7: clamor clamor
74) 1: "Stay true to the dreams of thy youth." 2: by F. von Schiller! 3: Good swing!
75) 1: Uwahh, what is that moron thinking... 2: Oh...oh no, this time...he can't be... 3: Uwaaaaah, he went insiiide! 4: How can he do things like that?! 5: Someone stop hiiiim!! 6: H...hey, you!
76) 1: It's been a little less than one year since I started seriously playing team sports. 2: Hey, stop it! Do you understand what you're doing.. 3: I don't claim to completely understand baseball. 4: And a coach's order is most likely an absolute thing. 5: Wh...what?! 6: clamor 7: Nikogaku's coach is going over to start a fight! 8: And "winning is everything" may also be a valid viewpoint. 9: Good plays happen on top of various sacrifices, and that's how victories are understood. 10: That's what "one for all" means.
77) 1: However! 2: Isn't that something the coach should along with the souls of his players?! 3: Why are you ignoring Kawakami-kun after he disobeyed your order?! 4: Coach Chiba!
78) 1: Don't you understand the feelings Kawakami-kun swung that bat with?! 2: S...sensei... 3: Please, listen to me! 4: Players always want to play to the best of their abilities! 5: For these once-in-a-lifetime moments! 6(2b): Your heart most likely burned as well, and you risked everything you had when you were a player! Why can't you remember that now?!
79) 1: Did you ever think about what that man from the stands was shouting about Sasazaki baseball?! 2: No, more importantly, have you ever thought about your player's feelings...? 3: clamor 4: S...sensei, that's enough! This is going to turn into a forfeited game! 5: He understands, you don't have to say that much! 6: Our Coach understands...
80) 1: The truth is...the Coach, he... 2: Kufoooh...sheesh... 3: Ku ku...
81) 1: Listen up! Nikogaku is going on the attack! 2: Keep fighting to the very last second! 3: That's all! 4: Alright, here we go!! 5: Gooooo! Nikogaku Goooooo!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/molokidan/releases/32139[English] [Translation] Rookies 198 by molokidan2011-11-08T11:48:39+00:00molokidanadmin@mangahelpers.comROOKIES #198

47) 1: Ohhhhh! 2: Ahhh... 3: Mori... 4: Yeaaaaaah! Vol. 198 - Ideas and Realities 5: Yaaaay, Aniya! Yaaay! 6: Ahhh, M...Mori missed...! 7: D...did you see that pitch just now...
48) 1: Owww...good thing I was wearing a mitt... 2: Goddammit! 3: S...seriously...?! 4: Mori missed a hit... 5: It...it's the first time I've ever seen such a thing... 6: clamor clamor 7: How could he throw a pitch like that in the ninth... 8: It hopped right out of his hands! 9: H...hey! 10: Eh...?!
49) 1: Woahhh, Aniya pitched 150km too?! 2: To think there'd be too 150km-ers in a measly local preliminary game... 3: This is a rarity even among pros! 4: Nikogaku's Aniya! Aniya Keiichi! 5: He's a good batter too! 6: I just came here to watch Kawakami, but ended up seeing a completely different marvel altogether! 7: He should have been all tuckered out! Amazing... 8: What a guy... 9: Haha... 10: Yeaaaaaah, Aniyaaaaaaa!!
50) 1: Wow... 2: That guy is really something... 3: Aniya... 4: That bastard... 5: Pitcher #9, Kawakami-kun! 6: Pitcher Kawakami-kun! 7: Kawakamiiiiii! 8: This is your last chance! 9: Hit it! Hit it this time! 10: Kawakami.
51) 1: Two outs, with first and second loaded. 2: Yeah, nothing has changed about Sasazaki's chance. 3: Kawakami's gotta get a hit in this time. 4: Nah, he won't do it. 5: You still saying that? 6: Sasazaki's chance for attack ended when their trump card Mori was defeated. 7: I doubt Chiba has any other plans left over. 8: I know Kawakami doesn't have that great of an average, and he barely hits anything other than bunts...but c'mon, think of this situation... 9: Chiba should be thinking like so: 10: The opponent is a low-ranked batter, but Kawakami will try to at least score one more point no matter what. Which means there is no reason to risk any more danger at this point. 11: Danger...? 12: What do you mean? 13: Chiba knows through his own experience. 14: The danger of a pitcher gripping the fate of the team standing in the batter box.
52) 1: We must go to Koushien. 2: That is our mission, and everything.
53) 1: Alright, let's goooo! 2-3: Kawakamiiiii! 4: Anything's fine, just hit SOMETHING! 5: Play! 6: Wha... 7: clamor
54) 1: A concussion from a dead ball?! 2: Oh yeah, now I remember. 3: It was in his third year... 4: Chiba's third year with Sasazaki, during their summer at Koushien, at the height of their career. 5: A showdown at the top of the ninth inning. 6: The ace's wound damaged the entire team's morale. 7: And it led to them saying their goodbyes at the bottom of the ninth. 8: After that, however, Chiba stood on the bases himself. 9: He overcame the resistance from the bench and climbed onto the back mound. 10: Ehhhhh?!
55) 1: He was beaten, though. 2: And then he probably figured that baseball wasn't all about spirit and guts. 3: It's probably even correct to say that Chiba's true idea of baseball was born from that moment. 4: Winning is everything. 5: If you're winning by even one point, don't let the ace hit. In order to protect that single point, don't take any extreme risks. 6: And so he told Kawakami not to hit... 7: On the other hand, though, that turned Kawakami's sense of trust inside out. 8: Chiba believed that Kawakami would protect things no matter what in this bottom half. 9: But... 10: But...?
56) 1: Wha...what are you thinking?! 2: There's still a chance isn't there?! Go and get another point! C'mon! 3: Don't run away, Kawakamiiii! 4: Kawakamiiii! 5: So lame. 6: Strike!
57) 1-2: Why...? 3: Aren't you in pain, Kawakami...? 4: Didn't Aniya's play just now make you feel anything...? Don't you feel like going up against him?! 5: Are we just going to become your sacrifices...? 6: Hey, Nagashima... 7: Is this what we have to do in order to make it to Koushien...? 8: At the least, this isn't what I wanted to say to him. 9: This wasn't it at all...
58) 1: Kawakami... 2: Strike! 3: Kawakami...
59) 1: Kawakamiiiii! C'mon! 2: Enough already! 3: Learn from Nikogaku! 4: Kawakamiiiii! Don't run away! 5: Will this really satisfy you?!
60) 1: I...it's Saitou-san's voice... 2: Is it really gonna satisfy you to win like this?! 3: Can you smile and go off to Koushien like this?! 4: That won't make us the least bit happy! 5: We wanna see you charge on ahead with an attack like Sasazaki should! 6(2b): Show the crowd some real Sasazaki style baseball in our places! That's what it means to be a Sasazaki player!
61) 1: This is your last chance, isn't it? So take a swing! 2: Saitou-san... 3: clamor clamor 4: Hey, no lookin' around. 5: Yoshi-san... 6: It's just... 7: Ideas and realities aren't always the same thing.
62) 1: Deep down, he's a competitor. 2: Chiba's probably the one who wants to shout out "Hit it!" the most.
27) 1: #7 right fielder, Fujita-kun! 2: Right fielder, Fujita-kun! 3: I can't believe this. Runners on two bases, with a foul fly... 4: Why didn't they send someone now and put a runner on all three bases? 5: Because Sasazaki's getting hasty now too. 6: If they can't get hits out of Kawakami, then it'll become necessary for them to get a point until #6 come in. 7: There should have been a sign out for an advancing bunt. 8: No, if it gets around to Kawakami, he'll get some hits in this time. As many as he needs to. 9: This is the last inning. 10: I wonder. Vol. 197 - Gibbim a shird!
28) 1: Couldn't you see the sign? 2: N...no. 3: I thought...there'd be a hole in the left...so I just... 4: I...I'm so sorry! 5: Hirooka... 6: I'm taking you out from the regulars.
29) 1: Got it? 2: I'll say it again. 3: In order to win, we need to think carefully about what's best! 4: Your self is unnecessary! Everything should be for the sake of the team! 5: Y...yes sir!
30) 1: Foul! 2: N...no... 3: I...it was my hands! Here, look! 4: Look how red they are... 5: Mu...?! 6: Don't get so desperate! It was your grip! 7: Dead ball! 8: Seriously?! 9: Yes! 10: Alright, first and second! 11: One out on first and second!
31) 1: KUhaah! First and second... 2: Calm down, Aniyaaaa! 3: Getting any more points here at the ninth... 4: It's alright, Aniya! Do your best! 5: Let's go with the get two! The get two! 6: Looks like Aniya's having it rough too. 7: There was a switch in the middle, but because of all the fouls, he's really been forced to stick in there... 8: He won't do any escapist pitching though, that's for sure. 9: He's symbolizing Nikogaku. 10: Wanna switch out? The ace is about to come in. 11: I'm gonna kill you! 12: Sasazaki High is now switching up players! 13: clamor clamor 14: Ohhh, here he comes!
32) 1: #8, Yonamine-kun is switching in! 2: Along with the batter, Mori-kun! 3: And #6 on second base, Mori-kun! 4: Uniform #16... 5: We've been waitiiiing! 6: Here he coooomes! 7: Wh...who is that? 8: Listen to those cheers! 9: Time for their trump card, huh... 10: Looks like this will be the final showdown. 11: Wh...who is it? 12: Ahh, so he really did come out! 13: H-hey, can I go out to the mound real quick?! 14: Just who is that guy!?
33) 1: Moriiiiii! We're counting on youuuuu! 2: Moriiiiii! 3: Who is that?! You know him, Aniya?! 4: Aniya! Sasazaki's asking for a showdown! 5: Uwahh, Mikoshiba! 6: What's with all this excitement from the crowd?! 7: He's Sasazaki's ultimate weapon! 8: In a game this close, I figure he'd come out sooner or later, but now we're really in trouble! 9: Huh? 10: He's bad at defense, so he'd never be used as a starting member, but his batting is top class! 11: Wh...what?! 12: The bottom line is, he's a genius at matching the bat up with the ball, so they call him the hitting machine!
34) 1: I saw it with my own eyes. 2: He hit 35 fouls. 3: And then he took three bases with a gentle pitch. 4: He studies the pitcher by hitting a bunch of fouls and then tires them out. 5: Also, this is an infamous story, but... 6: That Mori guy... 7: has only hit two strikes in his whole batting career, when he was 9 and first started playing. 8: Since then, he's never missed even once... 9: Enough of your mouth. 10: Ugah! 11: You came all the way out here to tell us something that stupid? 12: Don't you have anything better to say?!
35) 1: G... 2: Gibbim a shird! (Give him a third!) 3: Leave it to me. 4: Moriiiii! 5: Seal the game for us, Moriiii! 6: Play! 7: Sure is a relief to see Mori out there! 8: They'll at least be able to get one more point now. 9: C...c'mon, Mori! 10: clamor clamor
36) 1: Strike!
37) 1: What is this?! 2: He has no record of missed strikes... 3: None! 4: And not only that, but his batting average is...
38) 1: Foul! 2: This is the first time I've ever seen such a curve. 3: To think there was another guy out there besides me... 4: Kuhaah, that was dangerous... 5: Aniya...
39) 1-2: Foul! 3: Cutting close balls one after another, huh... 4: He's waiting until there are no balls left to be thrown, 5: watching carefully as the force behind each pitch slowly deteriorates... 6: Waiting for that eventual sweet pitch.
40) 1: Hey, hey, your pitches really are getting gentler and gentler. 2: You at your limit already? 3: Heh! 4: Looks like you still haven't noticed.
41) 1: I'm letting you hit fouls on purpose. 2: Hmph! 3: Liar. 4: Look at all that sweat! 5: No missed swings!? 6: Your opponents were probably all small fries. 7: Hey, no talking on the field! 8: You've only ever gone up against
42) 1: a bunch of loser 2: pitchers!
43) 1: Woahhh, look at that speed...! 2: I...it's floating!
9) 1: Whaaaaa... 2: Alriiiight! Fujita is so awesome! 3: Did you see that strike return toss just now?! 4: Woaaaaaahh! Fujitaaaaaaa! 5: Heheh! I did it! 6: You're crazy, you know that? Aniya's return toss is nothing to you! 7: A...an out...?! 8(2b): Ehhh?! No way! No, no, no, no matter how you look at it, that just now was... 9: an out.
10) 1: Yeaaaaaah! We got through the storm! 2: Awesome! 3: Woahhhh! Fujitaaaa! 4: Why... 5: Why did I let him go around...?! 6: That might have been our last chance... 7: Why did I rush things and try to go score a point...?
11) 1: Why...?! 2: I knew how important a runner he was... 3: Bases were loaded, and we had Hirazuka... 4: Bases were loaded, and we had Hirazuka...! 5: Nuoooohhhhhh!
12) 1: Shaaaaaaahhhhhh! 2: Here it comes, here it cooooomes! 3: This sensation! 4: The best finiiiiiish! 5: I'm ready anytiiiiime!
13) 1: I'm an idiot.....!! 2: D... 3: Dammiiiiit!
14) 1: Kuhh...that was an out just now?! 2: Yep, that was an out. The third base coach got confused and delayed his signal. 3: The runner, Akaboshi dropped his speed a bit around third base. 4: That right fielder Fujita's return pitch was everything. 5: This was Nikogaku's last chance, but they couldn't make it theirs... 6: Now they have this point spread left to deal with for the last inning... 7: It's far too heavy a burden.
15) 1: What's wrong, everyone?! 2: This isn't the time to get down on yourselves! This is the last inning! 3: C'mon, stand up! 4: Let's keep it together, go out there, and kiss 'em goodbye! 5: Hooo... 6: C'mon, let's go! Stand up! 7: Oww, that hurts! Don't pull me! 8: Ahhhh, it's already the last inning? 9: Dammit! I know that was a safe... 10: mumble mumble
16) sign: Dugout 1: Ahhhhhhhh! 2: Why did you guys stop attacking?! 3: You want me to just let all the runners build up in front of me or something?! 4: Oh?! Wait a minute, is that it?! 5: You want to leave the goodbye scene to me?! Is that how it is?! 6: Hahaha! That's right, I guess getting all excited eight times in a row won't help much! 7: tch! you idiot. 8: You're one comfortable bastard. 9: Who knows how faraway that one point is? 10: What's that? 11: Don't think things'll end that easily...
17) 1: Hahaha! Then let's get serious this time!! 2: Or how about we have Sasazaki score 10 more points in the ninth inning, just to win even more dramatically?! 3: Do you have any idea of what kind of a situation we're in?! Spouting off such happy- go-lucky bullshit when we can't even catch up to a single point... 4: Noooooo! That's not iiiiit! 5: You guys aren't acting Nikogaku-ish at all! 6: The Nikogaku I know wouldn't give up no matter how cornered they were! 7: Something's wrong about the mood right now!
18) 1: Isn't obstinance no matter the situation the mark of Nikogaku?! 2: We can't give up! 3: Hamanaka... 4: Kuh... 5: Who said we're giving up... 6: You wanna die, bitch!?
19) 1: Dammit, let's goooo! 2: Ohhhhh! 3: Don't underestimate Nikogaku, you motherfuckers! 4: Hah...haaaah, that was scary... 5: Mikoshiba. 6: Reflection on one's actions is absolutely necessary as a person, and as a player. 7: If you can't agree with yourself, then just reflect as thorough as you need to. 8: But regret is different. 9: Regret will never push you ahead.
20) 1: Listen up. Every single person here is desperately fighting. Desperately fighting this paper-thin battle. 2: And Sasazaki is just like us! 3: This isn't the time to stand still, Mikoshiba. 4: Those who don't give up will win. 5: Sensei... 6: Heheh...
21) 1: Let's get it together, guys! 2: That's right! Don't go getting chicken here, you bastards! 3: I'm counting on you, Aniyaaaa! 4: Tuck your guts in and stick your chests out! 5: Ohhhhhh!
22) 1: Now that looks more like the Nikogaku I know. 2: Fufu...that Hamanaka sure knows what to say. 3: Ahhh, watch out, it went to the left! 4-5: Hamanaka! 6: It... 7: It's alright! 8: I'm gonna catch it! 9: For sure! 10: I've pulled everyone's legs up until now... 11: How could I screw up here...?! Just watch this!
23) 1: I'm #12 of Nikogaku! Hamanaka Taiyou!! 2: Ahhhhh, he did it again! 3: What the hell are you doing?! 4: Kuh... 5: Uguh!
24) 1: Alright, it went to third! 2: Alright! 3: Ouuuuut!
25) 1: Ahah... 2: That's right, don't stand still. 3: Just keep looking ahead! 4: We can win! 5: We won't give up... 6: to the very end...!https://mangahelpers.com/t/akas/releases/3148[English] [Translation] Rookies 56 by Akas2008-02-04T12:04:14+00:00Akasadmin@mangahelpers.com*I HATE the coach. He's fat, annoying, and speaks Kansai-ben (basically the Japanese equivalent of Southern drawl? or some other accent). This translation was difficult because of him. On the + side, Kawatou is cool. As always, any comments help*
Chapter 56: Accident Pg. 160 Kawatou (later just K): 10 people’s eyes? Don’t tell me Shinjo…?
Ikebe (I): He’s at the side of the gymnasium.

K: Hiyama, Relax, relax!
H: What the hell are you doing? …
T: Sensei!
T: Shinjo-kun came when everyone was worried about you gathering enough players.
T: For that reason, you should go and meet him
T: He’d bring out the team’s (long-awaited) courage…
K: Just watch and wait
T: Eh?
K: Only coming to school as if anyone can do it
K: That guy has to advance the last of his several hundred meters to see whether or not he has true courage.
p. 162
T: Sensei…
I: …
K: Don’t worry.
K: That guy will come.
K: He’ll come because of his nakama/group.
Random person #1: Seriously?
Random person #2: The baseball club is…?

#2: The pitcher is…Who? Aniya?
#3: No…that guy…
Okada: Wow…so high…
O: Which way is it?
O: I don’t know…
Imaoka(?): Left you idiot, left! Once again it’s left!
O: Eh…Left? You liar…
p. 164 O: Uwa! It’s completely different!
I: What the hell are you doing?
I: It was going to be left!
I: I said to look left you idiot!
Aniya: It’s okay, just return the ball! Batter: he he he…
Coach: Why are you jogging like that you bastard! Run seriously! Moron!
B: O… Okay. (Okada throws the ball) Aniya: Oh! A strike-speed throw! (i.e. a throw as fast as a pitch) P. 165
O: …
I: oh…
O: ha ha…
I: a ha ha….
#1: Oi oi, those guys are congratulating each other…
#1: Isn’t that such a shitty baseball team?
#2: They only amateurs, you know.
#3: It’s amazing that they’re even having a match, isn’t it?
#1: Hey, Kawatou’s coming out.
#1: What? A (pitching) change?
#1: Hey you, what the hell’s Kawatou doing?
#2: How should I know?
#3: You know, these days everyone talks about how cruel and unusual that guy is.
p. 166
#3: If I remember correctly, before he came to this school he almost killed a student and as a result became unemployed.
#3: But that’s just a rumor.
#1: It doesn’t seem like him, does it?
#2: How could you think that of that guy?
Hiratsuka: A ha ha! H: I’m finally up this time!
H: After I pitch, you’re gonna lose!
Ump: Play ball!
H: Just watch me, Touko-chan
H: Here it comes, proof of my love!

p. 168
#2: He changed things a bit.
p. 169
#1: Everyone, you gotta come see this!
#2: Huh? What’s going on?
#1: What the hell are they doing, changing pitchers by letter order?
#2: If they’re going with Mikoshiba, does that mean that they’re giving up?
#1: It’s gonna be a 100 point difference, huh?
#2: Nah, it’s the top of the 7th inning and it’s been stuck at 8 to 1.
#1: You liar! What kind of accident happened to make it such a normal game?
#2: I don’t know, but what will happen if they lose…I mean, when they lose.
#1: Ha ha ha
Headmaster: Huh
p. 170
Mikoshiba: Huu
Ump: Strike! Batter out!
M: Ha…ha ha
M: I got a strikeout.
Okada: Not bad, Mikoshiba!
M: Ha ha
Kawatou: Oi, nice pitch!
(Lower left character): Mikoshiba, you bastard, you’re taking too long. Hurry up and switch!

K: Okay, there’s a 7 point difference!
K: 2 Grand Slams and we’ll have a reversal!
Team: Fuck yeah, let’s go!
T: Yeah!
K: They…they might actually win.
Coach: Why the hell aren’t you guys crushing them? Morons!
C: Only throw perfect pitches! If you can’t make them at least swing at it, then the truth is that you’re just idiots! You’re in such good pitching condition that I think even your ancestors could do it, you moron!
Pitcher: I’m…I’m sorry…
K: …
p. 172
Hiyama: Oh, shit!

Sumi: Ow…

C: What the hell are you doing, Sumi? Hurry up and fucking stand, you moron!
p. 175
C: Jeez, seriously he sucks…
C: This is proof he didn’t practice covering bases.
K: Hey, you!
Sumi: I’m…I’m fine. I can stand so…
Sumi: Ouch…
K: Don’t do it!
K: It’s okay to sit out for the rest of this ball game…
Player #1: Sumi…
C: You bastard, what the hell are you doing in the enemy’s hands? That sort of thing isn’t painful! (It’s only a flesh wound :P) C: Show some spirit!
Sumi: Ye…Yes.
p. 176
C: Why is Kawatou even worried about you? Now I got to come out before the end cause of his meddling!
C: He’ll stand and be okay if I help him so let go.
C: See, this moron’s in good shape.
Sumi: It doesn’t hurt.
C: Huh? What do you want?
K: When a person who raises kids doesn’t have a heart
K: They don’t have the right to be called a teacher.

Chapter 55: Kira Kira (Glittering)
Aniya: You guys got it? Absolute Victory!
Wakana: Like usual. What are you fired up about this time?
Aniya: You guys are wasting time! Isn’t anyone willing to do it? Wakana will go next! Fourth is…
Aniya: I will fucking go!
Hiratsuka: I know that!
Wakana: What are you getting mad at?
Aniya: All right! I’m gonna make this back-to-back homeruns at bat!
Wakana: Damn it, I’m definitely gonna beat him up! (Pitcher lobs the ball over Aniya’s head) Aniya: Ah, you bastard….
Okada: I don’t understand what’s with that guy…
Kawatou: Ha Ha Ha.
Kawatou: Ok, now the other team is running away.
Crowd: We’re waiting to see it! We want to see that violent swing!
Umpire: Ball Four!
Aniya: Dammit!
Crowd: All right, a runner on base! Keep it Up!
Martial Artist #1: Do you know? Today the Baseball Club is having a match!
Martial Artist #2: Seriously? Martial Artist #1: What relief team is seriously taking a chance with them? Should we go and watch?
Martial Artist #2: Don’t joke. You’ll only say “What the hell am I watching?” and see things go everywhere as long as Wakana is nearby… M 1&2: !!!! ….
(Aniya steals 2nd) Ump: Strike! Batter Out!
Wakana: What? Is it okay to steal during a strikeout? Did you forget the rules?
Kawatou: Ahaha!
Okada: Don’t “ahaha” this!
Touko: We’re in a Scoring Position! Do your best! (to Hiratsuka)
Hiratsuka: Touko-chan…I…
Hiratsuka: Uohh!!!
Ump: Strike! Strike! Strike! (Hirama, Hiratsuka and Okada all strike out) Batter Out!
(Yufune?): You bastard. The 3 of you are nothing but strike-outs.
Okada: That guy’s ball kept on curving.
Aniya: Don’t worry about the strike-outs, it’s only the 4th inning.
Okada: Aniya…
Kawatou: Okay, we haven’t changed pitchers yet. Next is (#8)…(ka ki ku ke ko sa shi su se…(he’s going through the Japanese alphabet)) Sekikawa.
Sekikawa: Ah, I’m good. Pass.
Team: Huh?
Sekikawa: I’m liking Center. To tell you the truth, it’s sort of like a wide (トコ/space) that only I can guard.
Kawatou: Sekikawa…
Sekikawa: Hehe
Kawatou: I see. Then it’s Hiyama. Hiyama: I understand.
Wakana: You bastard, just pass.
Kawatou: Then Okada is shortstop I guess. After this is #10…hmm, it’s going off a little.
Aniya: It’s puzzling work, isn’t it? I have a suggestion.
Aniya: You guys are becoming used to your (トコ/space?) and it seems that it’s easiest for Imaoka and Okada to protect it since they both have foundations in that position. I think we should switch it up.
Hiratsuka: Ho ho, so you’re trying to be the boss without having to deal with criticism and discipline. So we should just follow what you want to do?
Mikoshiba: Yeah. Aniya’s words make sense. I also think we should switch positions. I don’t really have a feel for these things I think.
Touko: Me too…
Wakana: Okay, then this time, let’s go.
Team: Oh!
Kawatou: Uhh…Hey! ….
Okada: What’s with that face?
Okada: It can’t be helped that (ドシロウト) wants to use (their/it’s/his?) head.
Okada: Today’s (トコ) is a specialist in entrusting things to one another.
Kawatou: Okada…
Okada: We became who we are because of Sensei’s request. For that reason, don’t worry about everyone and let us do things the way we like to.
Okada: Well, just watch. I’m sure the pitcher is going to have fun.
Kawatou: …
Ikebe: Hahaha, you’ve gotten 1 run Kawatou-kun?
Kawatou: Ah, Kyoutou-sensei!
Ikebe: Hou, this is a good match isn’t it? It seems like you’re good at this, doesn’t it? Kawatou: Of course.
Ump: Batter up!
Wakana: Hold up for a second.
Wakana: Let’s fucking go you bastards!
Team: …. Ouh!!
Kawatou: Ohhh!!!
Ump: Play ball!
Hiyama: Haha, Let’s fucking go!
(4-page montage)
Ikebe: The headmaster should also come here. There are 9 glittering players here…
Kawatou: Hey, do you know? These guys, with those faces, can do it…
Touko: Sensei…
Ikebe: But you know, 9 people isn’t enough by one person.
Kawatou: Huh?
Kawatou: That these guys all have their eyes on one thing isn’t enough? The baseball club is…
Ikebe: Hu hu…Come to think of it, there’s another…
Kawatou: ?
Ikebe: There’s 10 people’s eyes focused on something…
