[PRESENT MIC]
HLB. Hero League Baseball.
I'm talkin' about
the sandlot league
set up by a bunch of pro heroes
who love to get down and dirty
on the diamond
in their spare time.
[PRESENT MIC]
According to this year's charts.
The Orcas, captained
by g*ng Orca himself,
are currently tied for
first place with the Lionels,
headed by the ferocious
Lion Hero: Shishido.
Everything's on the line
in this championship game.
[STUDENTS]
Yeah!
[PRESENT MIC]
Grab yourself a hot dog,
'cause it's time for
the heroes to play ball!
[g*ng ORCA, SHISHIDO growling]
[g*ng ORCA]
Victory will belong to us.
The Orcas!
[ORCAS]
Yeah!
[SHISHIDO]
You don't stand a chance.
Lionels forever!
[LIONELS]
Yeah!
[SHISHIDO, g*ng ORCA growling]
You knew you couldn't b*at us,
so you called in outside help?
As if you've got room
to judge me, fish breath!
I see you padded
your roster, too!
[g*ng ORCA]
I pity you, Shishido.
You think yourself a ruler,
but your kingdom is a joke.
Shut it, blow hole.
A sardine outta water like you
isn't even fit to
be called my prey.
[g*ng ORCA]
I am an apex predator!
[SHISHIDO]
Lion pride!
[FATGUM] It's like this every
time they see each other.
Kamui. How'd you get roped
into joining Orca's team?
[KAMUI]
Ask Edge sh*t about it.
I'm not so sure it's smart
to be slacking off
during our work studies.
Fair point.
And this will be my
first baseball game.
[FATGUM]
Look alive, team.
b*at 'em and we get
all-you-can-eat takoyaki !
Don't lemme down!
Right on! Might as well
play to win!
[GROUP]
We got this!
[AMAJIKI sighs] Why am I here?
This is sure to end badly.
[PRESENT MIC]
The Orcas versus the Lionels!
Which team is gonna
rise to the occasion
and win the game of the century?
Present Mic here
with color commentary.
Backing me up is my
cranky cohost, Eraserhead.
Who signed me up for this?
First off, let's lay out the
special rules for HLB games.
[AIZAWA]
Calm down.
[PRESENT MIC] Each team's
made up of nine players.
No substitutes are
allowed during a game.
Swapping positions
and using pinch runners
is totally allowed!
If players can't play, oh well--
the game won't skip a b*at!
If a batter is injured
and can't swing,
they're automatically
considered out!
Will we be seeing
a neck-and-neck battle
in the ninth inning?
Or will one team forfeit
for having no members left?
Anything can happen
during this epic fight
to see who racks
up the most runs.
These rules are absurd.
--Let's rock this diamond!
--[AMAJIKI] Why am I cursed?
All I want is to go home.
[PRESENT MIC] The Orcas
will start us out at bat.
First up, their aquatic
captain, g*ng Orca!
Pitching for the
Lionels is Sugarman!
Hold back and you're dead meat.
Throw like your life
depends on it!
[PRESENT MIC]
Whoa!
That sweet, sweet sucrose
is pumpin' through his veins!
[yells]
[PRESENT MIC] It's a
Quirk-enhanced first pitch!
Look at that spin! Incredible!
[PRESENT MIC]
He knocked it out of the park!
Textbook homer!
[AIZAWA]
We're gonna run out of balls.
I can feel it.
You moron!
Didn't I tell you that
your life was at stake?
Yeah. You're right.
I can see that now.
[SHISHIDO]
I need a new pitcher!
[PRESENT MIC]
After just one batter,
the mound belongs to Mindz!
What kinda throws is he
hiding up his sleeve?
[SHODA]
Twin Impact.
[PRESENT MIC]
Underhand?
Weak. What a letdown.
Hah! Too easy.
And fire!
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike one!
Huh?
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike two!
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike three! You're out!
[PRESENT MIC] Three pitches whiz
by and Chargebolt's dunzo!
He wasn't even able to swing!
[g*ng ORCA]
Penalty.
But... there's no way
I could've hit those throws.
--[g*ng ORCA] Penalty!
--[KAMINARI screams]
[PRESENT MIC] Next in
the box, it's Tentacole!
[AIZAWA]
What is this?
[PRESENT MIC] Rules don't limit
the number of bats you can use!
[SHOJI] I'll cover
the entire strike zone!
The ball might suddenly
change speeds,
so my timing must be perfect.
It's my chance!
And fire!
[PRESENT MIC] Now that's
what I call a curve ball!
It's impossible to hit!
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike one!
And fire.
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike two!
Strike three! You're out!
Strike one!
Strike two!
Strike three! You're out!
[PRESENT MIC] Three in a row!
What a sad start for the Orcas!
--[g*ng ORCA] Penalty! Penalty!
--[SHOJI screams]
--[g*ng ORCA] Penalty! Penalty!
--[SERO screams]
--[g*ng ORCA] Penalty! Penalty!
[PRESENT MIC]
Bottom of the first
and the Lionels are at bat.
Tailman steps to the plate.
Pitching for the Orcas
is Kamui Woods.
He winds up for the throw,
and we're off!
[OJIRO]
Huh?
[OJIRO screams]
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike One!
[KAMUI] Pre-emptive Binding
Lacquered Chain Prison.
No fair!
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike two!
Strike three! You're out!
[SHISHIDO growls]
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike three! You're out!
[SHISHIDO growling]
What're you fools doing?
Assume you'll be
ripped to shreds
if you don't win this fight!
[PRESENT MIC]
Lion Hero: Shishido.
Quirk: Lion.
He has the same power
and speed as a lion,
the king of the beasts!
He's tough on his players.
Rumor has it he
throws them off cliffs
then makes them climb back up.
Naturally he's on bad terms with
g*ng Orca, the k*ller whale,
the reigning king
of marine life!
Yeah, that's putting it lightly.
[SHISHIDO]
Bring it.
[KAMUI]
Lacquered Chain Prison!
Your power's useless!
See how it's done, rookie!
[PRESENT MIC]
Shishido smashes Kamui's woods!
[KAMUI]
I've got more!
[PRESENT MIC]
Oh, the humanity!
Shishido's not stopping and
Kamui's not backing down!
This has become
a battle of wills!
[SHISHIDO growls]
[KAMUI grunts]
Guide me.
Center! Get big and catch it!
Titan Cliff!
[MT. LADY gasps]
[PRESENT MIC] Woo-hoo! Mt. Lady
has been knocked out cold!
It's Cellophane for the save!
That means Shishido's out.
[PRESENT MIC hollers]
Cellophane is crushed
by his giganticized teammate!
A good death.
[PRESENT MIC]
Kamui Woods has been chopped.
Shishido might not have made a
base, but that was a fine play!
He took out three Orca
players with a single hit!
Nice batting!
Nothing "nice" about it.::. --] ::. line:%

[SHIOZAKI gasps]
[ROBOT UMPIRE]
Strike three! You're out!
Strike three! You're out!
[PRESENT MIC] Two down
in the blink of an eye!
[g*ng ORCA]
Penalty! Penalty!
[PRESENT MIC] Captain g*ng
Orca's blowing a spout of fury!
[PRESENT MIC]
Now up to bat is Earphone Jack.
[JIRO]
My best chance is...
And fire.
High frequency batting!
[PRESENT MIC] Whoa! Sound
waves are carrying the ball
through the air!
I did it!
[PRESENT MIC]
It looks like a base hit!
You wanna back me up on that?
Pretend I'm not here.
[PRESENT MIC]
Shishido catches the fly!
Our walking speaker
doesn't take the base.
[g*ng ORCA]
That was close.
[gasps]
[g*ng ORCA]
A good effort.
[g*ng ORCA]
We'll win this game.
[PRESENT MIC] g*ng Orca's
indomitable fighting spirit
has his team members
all fired up!
[PRESENT MIC]
It's the bottom of the second
and Grape Juice is pitching
for our maritime team.
[cackles] Start swinging.
This is my special pitch!
Homer! Easy!
[PRESENT MIC]
It's outta he--
Not so fast!
[gasps]
[PRESENT MIC] The ball came
back and nailed Sugarman
right in the sugarcubes!
That's probably the last
we'll see of him this game.
[MINETA laughs]
Like that?
It's my Quirk disguised with
powder from the rosin bag.
Nobody's gonna score
with my special balls.
[PRESENT MIC]
Number five, Shoda, is out, too!
Damn. How do we stop him?
Times like this,
you gotta be smart.
What's that mean?
[TETSUTETSU] If the ball's
gonna come back...
'Kay, Tin Man.
Eat this!
...then I might as well
get rid of the bat!
[groans]
Aw, yeah! Nailed it.
[ROBOT UMPIRE] You're out!
Real Steel is ejected!
Huh? What for?
[PRESENT MIC]
Talk about a foul play!
We may have few rules,
but you can't att*ck
a pitcher like that!
What the hell were you
thinking, you idiot?
[yelps] Steel!
Learn your lesson!
[gasping]
[KIRISHIMA]
Whoa. So scary.
[AMAJIKI] I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
[AMAJIKI] I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
I wanna go home!
[PRESENT MIC] It's the final
game of the HLB season
and at the end of the second
inning, the Orcas have the lead
with a score of one to zero!
That said, they are
down to five players.
Let's see if they're able
to eke out any more runs!
Oh? It looks like the Lionels
are changing pitchers.
Fatgum takes the
mound from Mindz.
[SHISHIDO yells]
[PRESENT MIC]
What have we here?
Captain Shishido is going
to town on his own player!
What kind of pep talk is that?
This is Fat Adsorption.
Fat's Quirk allows him
to harness the power of
Shishido's impacts and
store them in his body.
The last thing they want
is another home run.
[g*ng ORCA] Hm. You think
you're so clever.
Bring down that whale.
No matter what it takes.
Just don't forget our reward.
All-you-can-eat takoyaki !
It's yours.
It's about time this
game got serious.
[AMAJIKI] Please, Fat.
Don't let him hit the ball.
And if he does, please, please
don't let it come my way!
[FATGUM]
Right!
The Naniwa Fat Throwing Style!
[g*ng ORCA]
The perfect pitch.
[gasps] This is
my worst nightmare.
[PRESENT MIC]
Suneater's snuffed out!
He couldn't hold the ball,
so it's live.
Kirishima picks up the slack!
[SHODA yelps]
[PRESENT MIC]
Mindz surfs into the sky
on Orca's ultrasonic waves!
Tailman throws the
dropped ball to third!
[SHISHIDO growls]
[g*ng ORCA yells]
[BOTH yelling]
[PRESENT MIC]
He's tagged out!
The Lionels rally after
a series of errors!
But it did cost them
Suneater and Mindz!
Oh, man. Not good.
Used too much power.
[PRESENT MIC] Fatgum b*rned
through too much energy
and has deflated!
[sighs]
Shiozaki?
[PRESENT MIC]
The drama is too much for Vine.
Bad timing for a nap.
The Lionels now have
five players left,
one more than the Orcas.
[PRESENT MIC] In a changeup
we were waiting for,
Captain Shishido
has taken the mound!
Chargebolt is at bat!
[SHISHIDO]
This kid shouldn't be an issue.
But you can't be too careful.
I give the hunt my all,
no matter how small the prey.
[SHISHIDO]
Lion-like force!
Hot dang! That's what
I call a fastball!
Gevaudan is out cold,
along with our trusty umpire!
And the shock wave took out
Chargebolt as well!
Uh. This is so not cool.
[SHOJI]
You should take a dive.
There's no reason
for you to keep playing.
--[SHOJI] Oh, no!
--[PRESENT MIC] Cut the music!
Earphone Jack must
fear for her life,
because she's passed
out just like Vine!
The Orcas are down
to only two players!
Hey, Sugarman.
You're my catcher!
Me? Really?
[SHOJI]
This isn't sport. It's t*rture.
[SHISHIDO]
We'll hold them back for now,
then turn it around in
the bottom of the third!
The championship is ours.
[SHISHIDO]
Lion-like force!
[PRESENT MIC] Oh! Deja vu!
It's just like before!
Sugarman is toast!
Along with Tentacole!
[PRESENT MIC] When the batter
gets fried, it's an instant out!
Now, time to change
sides once again.
Let's get those Lionels
off 'a the field.
If this game gets
any more out of hand,
I'm erasing Quirks.
[PRESENT MIC]
Please do!
We move into the
bottom of the third
but the score stays one-zero
favoring the Orcas.
Unfortunately for them, they've
been reduced to a team of one!
The captain's the
only player remaining!
[KIRISHIMA]
This is for Fat, Amajiki,
and the rest who've fallen!
[KIRISHIMA] I have one opponent.
I just have to get past him.
I'm unbreakable!
[KIRISHIMA]
Such power!
Can't back down!
If I do, it's over for me.
After all that jazz,
it was a bunt!
g*ng Orca fields the ball!
But there's nobody
to throw it to!
Runner takes first!
Yeah!
With no basemen in sight,
he could steal his way
around the entire infield!
All right. Way to go, Kirishima.
You earned that.
Tailman. Go.
Relieve Red Riot and step in
as his pinch runner.
Uh. But, sir.
The poor little guy's
done everything he can.
I'll handle this now.
Orca's going down.
[PRESENT MIC]
The Lionels swap runners.
I'll be taking over from here.
You did a great job.
Stand proud.
And go rest up.
[sighs] Thank you.
[OJIRO] You should
tell that to Shishido.
[PRESENT MIC]
Play resumes!
With no outs and
a runner on first,
the feral captain of
the Lionels is up to bat!
[g*ng ORCA]
So, what now?
[SHISHIDO]
First, we even up the score.
[g*ng ORCA]
Let's make this interesting.
[PRESENT MIC]
It's a strike!
Probably!
Orca's slow to move
as Tailman darts around second
and reaches third!
He crosses the plate!
The score is now tied!
[g*ng ORCA]
At last.
[SHISHIDO] We don't have
to hold back anymore.
[alarm blares]
[ANNOUNCEMENT A]
Warning! Be on high alert!
A bank-robbing villain
is currently driving
a large truck north on
a nearby prefectural road.
Please avoid the area. I repeat.
[g*ng ORCA]
North on a prefectural road.
Well, if that's the case,
then we can head them off!
Huh?
There's our prey.
--[g*ng ORCA] After you.
--[SHISHIDO] Thanks!
[SHISHIDO]
Your turn!
Damnit! You're dead!
[yells]
Oh, come on!
[g*ng ORCA]
Enough.
[yells]
[SHISHIDO]
Take a nap!
[groans]
Hey, Orca!
Shishido, sir!
[g*ng ORCA]
About time.
You three keep an eye on the
villain until the police arrive.
[g*ng ORCA] Handle traffic
while you're at it.
[OJIRO]
'Cause you'll be...?
[g*ng ORCA]
Need you ask?
[g*ng ORCA, SHISHIDO]
The game must go on!
[g*ng ORCA] I'll finish this
with a single pitch.
[SHISHIDO]
One hit's all I need.
[g*ng ORCA]
Victory... is mine!
[SHISHIDO]
This game...
[SHISHIDO]
...belongs to me!
[groans]
[groans]
[SHISHIDO]
It's true.
[g*ng ORCA]
Baseball...
[BOTH] ...is the greatest
sport in the world.
[airhorn blares]
[PRESENT MIC] The game is over!
Both of our captains are KOed!
Since Tailman isn't around,
HLB rules state that both
teams must withdraw!
The outcome of today's
championship game
is an unexpected tie between
the Orcas and the Lionels!
I swear I am never
playing baseball again.
What a truly horrible
experience that was.
[sighs] Tell me about it.
I never should have
agreed to this.
[TETSUTETSU]
Hello? Somebody there?
Get me outta here! Please!
It's not funny anymore!
Help me!
