01x04 - The Great Monkey Baseball

[bunniefuu]

I feel so good. Come down!

Come on. She's calling you.

Not me.

It's you. Look, she's looking at you.

You are so annoying.

He beat you to it.

It's boring.

This is a game played by those

who are insensitive to fear.

The circumstances will not change

just because we jump.

I am not

Just go down!

Oh, no!

What the heck.

Wait a minute.

He is going to have an accident.

What was that just now?

It seems to be the original world.

So, did we just go back?

You're so great. You can do anything.

I'm not that great.

"CONSTRUCTION PLAN OF SHELTER"

I can facilitate the matters

"MATERIAL ORDER"

but not enough to change the world.

Right?

But the world is really unfair.

Even on this island, some people

don't have to pay the price.

The world does select some people

so they enjoy special treatment.

Is the plan going well?

Although the puzzle has been pieced together,

the final pieces of the puzzle

haven't been found.

Don't worry. It will turn up someday.

The saviour.

Delicious!

"FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD CURRY RICE"

It's so hot. Get me some water.

We should be able to go back with his ability.

Didn't we go back to the world

for an instant just now?

But I don't know if it's my ability.

Why did you say so? What an irresponsible guy.

You did it, right?

It's called time travel, is it?

Didn't Rajdhani say it too?

Well, give it a go.

"JOIE YAKULT"

I really don't know

and I don't feel what I've done.

You're really useless. Everyone is upset.

Figure it out, loser.

But is that really the original world?

Who knows?

To be frank, I don't see the light either.

Let's ask Rajdhani to look into it tomorrow.

The ape

Thank you.

Are you having dinner?

He is still mad at you?

I already apologized. He refused to forgive me.

What a baby.

Is it your job to bring those here?

So you know how to use your ability. What is it?

No, it's not a great ability.

You don't have to know.

Nagara, do you want to play baseball

together next time?

Why did you mention this suddenly?

You would be rusty if you are out of practice.

Okay? Just play with me!

What a surprise! You're from baseball club.

I don't remember it anymore.

You fool! I'll remember it for life.

We lost the last game in Minor League because

you made three mistakes in a row.

Is that so?

If we didn't lose, we could enter

the national competition.

Hey, are you okay?

Isn't Ace here?

Why don't you play with him?

Impossible, you know he hates practice!

And he is busy as he is seeing someone recently.

It's the girl, right?

It's good to be popular.

By the way, do you know the ability of Ace?

I don't know.

What is it?

I heard that he makes water taste better.

What do you mean?

I mean it.

The water tastes better no matter what.

Serve him right.

He used to feel superior

but he could only drink dirty water and

tell everyone that it tastes better now.

You said you want to practice.

Is there a place to play baseball here?

Actually, I built a baseball field

not far from here.

You built it?

Yes.

You are awesome.

What? Ape?

You're amazing!

You are the first person to surpass

Rock Monster since Stelloyd!

Who is that?

It's Stelloyd the Ape!

It rewrote the records eight times for

the home run in Monkey League!

No, what is the Monkey League?

Don't you know?

Oh, I forgot you can't see it. Sorry.

Monkey League.

It is a league formed by the great apes

in Monkey Mountain of the world

after the ball, bat, and the rules of baseball

are introduced.

The appearance of the apes in the Monkey League

is the same as everyone else.

Most of the famous players are nobodies

among the apes.

A home run record we had never seen.

80 home runs in a year!

The legendary home run king, Stelloyd the Ape!

It has a batting average of 0.2 higher than

Liba, God of Batter.

The miracle of the batters! Apa the Ape!

The greatest catcher in Bigfoot history,

Mr. Monkey!

After he became the coach, he broke

the league's championship records

and achieved the legendary 10-game win streak!

Now, it's the golden age of M League.

The miraculous ape that broke the records

I mentioned just now.

It's Blue Ape Monster.

It is an outcast of the league with blue hair

all over its body.

Even when it is being treated badly

and victimized,

it still breaks through with his talent and

finally becomes the hero!

It becomes the symbol of hope among the apes!

It is more popular than the King Stelloyd

although it is a novice.

It is forced to retire as it has a setback

in its bat and soul.

Then it uses its powerful pitching to support

the weak team, Monkey and the Club.

The Bigfoot is stopped from winning

11 games in a row.

Everyone accepted the new colour.

The era of Blue Ape began.

There is no doubt at all!

However,

the tragedy happened and

the match did not finish.

k*lling of ape happened!

I want! I want to see the apes!

Is this the point?

I want to see the apes too!

Right? It's the ape. I want an ape!

Where can I see it?

Right here.

Where?

It's right here.

Right here?

Yes, it's here.

But it won't appear if you just wait.

You can't see it unless you use the prop.

Prop?

What is that?

Ape?

Right. If you want to see the apes,

you have to use this.

It's the ape flashlight.

Do you want to borrow it?

No! Not on your life!

"HYO-RYU-COIN"

Hey, I have a lot of money. Look.

It's not a matter of money.

She just hates you.

Bad woman.

As long as we have the prop,

we can see the dear apes.

What should we do? Steal from her

or threaten her? Beat her or trick her?

Don't do that.

What else could we do?

Hey, how do you know about the apes?

We practiced baseball with Cap.

That's when we heard about it.

But

Can you really see the apes with that?

You doubt me?

No, it's not like that.

You make sense too.

It looks like an ordinary flashlight.

But if you use it to illuminate your body,

you can see the apes.

To be precise, you can see the world

where the apes are.

Since Nagara asked me, I would say yes.

As we were teammates.

You would lend us?

How about this?

You hardly practice.

If you beat me in the game,

I will lend you this.

One-shot game.

As long as anyone hits the ball I throw,

you win. How is it?

Impossible.

I take on the challenge!

All right.

But everything has a price.

I have a condition.

If you lose

Your demand is a little

It's a deal!

You are a long way!

You are lax! You don't even put forth

your wrist strength!

I think I can't hit it at all.

Indeed.

Is Ace that great?

He is gifted. Even the professional team

is recruiting him.

It's great.

How can you admit defeat before the game?

You must have the determination to win!

How could you not believe in yourself?

I have no expectations of myself.

To me

Nobody knows what will happen in the game.

Just believe in miracles. Good luck!

By the way, what does he want in return?

Nothing. It's not a big deal.

Don't you play baseball with them?

They will surely win if you are there.

I am not interested in the apes.

Besides, the bald head is there.

But I'm very interested in

the magical ape flashlight.

If there is such a prop, my worldview

is going to change again.

I don't care at all.

As long as Nagara masters his ability,

we can go back right away.

I don't think it's that simple.

It's the best season for Blue Ape.

It carried a shutout in all games

and broke the record of 32 wins in the league.

The team also achieved

two consecutive victories.

In the last game of the season,

it reached the goal of a perfect complete game.

16 to 0.

In the final round where

Monkey and the Club was leading,

two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Blue Ape had struck out 26 batters

with 80 ba*ls before.

The last batter was driven into a corner

by two strikes in a split second.

The crowded stadium was filled with voices

when there was the one last pitch.

The atmosphere was strange.

All the apes there

watched every move of Blue Ape with hope!

Everyone believed that it could achieve

a complete game!

Right, there were signs of ill omen.

Afterward, I remembered that

there was only one ape

that was not immersed in the game.

The odd umpire

and the slanting world.

The 81st pitch

To protect the reputation of Blue Ape,

I must say

that's definitely not his pitching mistake!

It's because the world moved!

No, I'm not defending Blue Ape.

It did happen.

The world had indeed moved a little bit.

It's true!

If there is a slight deviation

from the strike zone,

it is known as a judge ball in which

it could be strike or ball.

And the umpire of the pitch

was the only ape in the stadium

that hadn't been affected by the slanting world!

All the audience stood up at the same time.

They scratched their fur

and stomped their feet.

There was a storm of booing. Loud groans!

The umpire who refused to review footage.

Blue Ape also showed its displeasure

and approached the umpire.

"It was a strike!"

The umpire shook his head.

"Hey, are you crazy?"

"It determines whether it is a complete game!"

"I know", the umpire said firmly.

"No, you know nothing at all!"

"Why don't you call it a strike?"

"The outcome of the game is already decided!"

"This game is a mere formality!"

"The batter does not want to hit the ball."

"Since it could be a strike or a ball,

why don't you call it a strike?"

"What's the point of doing so?"

"What's more, the audience is waiting in hope."

"Don't you hear the voices of hope?"

"You should know!"

"This is not the outcome they want!"

"I know that too."

Then why?

"Because the hope of the audience

has nothing to do with the game."

"There are rules in the field."

"No matter what the reason is,

we should be fair and just."

"This is wrong. This is a baseball show!"

"The hope and dream of everyone

are placed on me!"

"I'm entrusted with the entire

great Monkey League!"

"Now, I'm the ruler here!"

"Fine, judge it again!"

Blue Ape was so mad that

its hands were trembling.

"I can't do it."

The umpire wasn't swayed.

"Now, I set the rules here."

Blue Ape knew it too.

It was replayed on the screen.

In fact, the ball deviated from the strike zone

by a bit due to the slanting world.

But Blue Ape could not accept the result.

When the game recommenced,

Blue Ape threw the ball at exactly

the same speed as the 81st pitch.

It walked the batter with three perfect strikes.

It dropped its gloves on the pitching mound

and gave up the game.

It worked the crowd into a frenzy!

The crowd packed into the stadium

to attack the umpire!

The umpire was brained by the batter

for fear of reprisals.

Its body was torn by the mob.

The broken and small figure

died after being trampled and spat on.

The ape is dead.

It's just a baseball game.

The last pitch of Blue Ape

carries everyone's hope.

What a great ape.

Right, it is the best pitcher.

No, I mean the umpire.

It defeated the world.

You are exaggerating.

Don't you feel anything?

Don't you feel angry?

I don't know.

Strike!

Batter out!

The ape deserves to be k*lled.

The ordinary one kills the genius.

A world where the talent is k*lled off

by ignorant fools.

Out!

That rude but beautiful posture.

You're not going to see a straight ball

like lightning again.

Two strikes!

Strike! Batter out.

Do your best.

Strike!

Two strikes!

How is my pitch?

It's good. I can't hit it at all.

You're not in the mood to do so.

How could I have the mood for it?

Why do I

Ball!

What're you doing? It's dangerous!

Right, it's a foul ball. Get out of the game!

He is so pathetic!

It's hilarious.

Are you all right?

I was the one who taught the apes

to play baseball.

INTRODUCTION TO BASEBALL

I am special.

If you lose, you have to get us back to

the original world even if it's only one second.

Don't tell me you can't do it.

I heard that you are the savior, right?

No, I'm not

I feel like vomiting when I look at you now.

Why does God look after someone like you?

This world is wrong.

Let me return to the world where

I'm highly regarded.

This is the purpose of your power.

Can I do it?

Just do it. Even if you're dying.

Ape

Ape with only one arm.

How do you know it has only one arm?

Can you see the umpire?

You want to be a baseball player too, right?

But you can't.

But you are attracted to the

ruthless equality in baseball

so you become an umpire.

You've been guarding this place.

It is not the umpire who is k*lled.

It is the baseball.

What do you mean?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Obviously, he can do it.

How dare you crow!

There we go.

Go on!

Strike! Batter out!

Stupid!

You're great, Nagara!

You change my view.

It's a pity

but it's a beautiful swing.

We can't see the apes.

Take it.

Thank you.

It seems that something sticks on you.

What?

What's this?

It doesn't look like cat hair.

What hair is it?

When did it stick on?

You're here to comfort me.

This is not somewhere we should stay.

Today is the end of our life on the island.

I feel a little down.

Yeah.

To be frank, I always want to quit baseball.

My talent is not enough to get me to the top.

I'm sure of it.

Even so, I used to have a good time.

Just like the apes.

Since when

I began to be distracted by unnecessary things

such as talents and further studies?

However, I've been on tenterhooks

after watching the game of the apes.

I don't know how to describe it

I felt like playing baseball suddenly.

When I came to my senses,

I already built a baseball field.

Isn't it strange? I have no talent,

but I just want to play baseball.

It's not strange.

Really?

How? Is the plan going smoothly?

I don't know, but he is really capable.

He can go anywhere.

Really? I can't tell.

It's not a lie.

But it may be a little different from

what you think.

Nagara can control the ability to

travel through time and space.

We can leave this place.

Well, let's go back to the original world!

Hey, do it.

Fine.

Where are we?

Eh? Something's wrong.

This is not the one as well.

We haven't return to the school yet?

How long will it take?

Stop showing off your ability!

Hey, what's wrong with you?

I can't.

Not only the original world

I can't go anywhere I like.

He is really useless.

-I knew it.

-Seriously?

-I expected more.

-Good-for-nothing.

It's finally clear.

Nagara can move to another "world".

But he can't choose the destination.

The worlds we've gone so far are not

somewhere Nagara wants to go.

Hey, look at that.

Miss Aki!

-Why is the teacher here?

-Are there any other drifters besides us?

She must be here to save us!

Shut up, you maggots!

The game is over today.
