02x04 - Play Ball! / Kattobashing!

[bunniefuu]

The robot is being forced to keep doing stretches…

How sad!

There’s only four more.

We just have to b*at the Goha President Siblings four more times, right?

It’ll be a piece of cake.

I wonder about that.

Yuuro!

Unfortunately, my siblings aren’t going to just let you win.

Yuuro-kun!

I’ve said this many times, commuting to school in a machine is against school regulations!

It’s useless trying to tie me down with those overly strict school rules.

I’m a supersonic student now, who’s determined to enjoy his new freedom.

Adios!

You’re sure enjoying your freedom…

Get ready for lead off!

Go!

Swirl-wirl-wirl!

Safe!

Luke?

There’s gonna be a new professional baseball team for Goha City!

Its name is...

The Goha Astro Monsters!

Go enjoy, feel, believe, and plunge into the light!

For some reason, when I looked up at the sun, I sneezed

A weird action, satisfaction, a hunch that something would happen

On those stifling days, come here when you're tired

Keep chasing your impulsive urges, for the ordinary is boring

To your turn that belongs to no one else

To the road's end that nobody sees

To our Harevutai that's like no one else's

greatest stage

I wanna enjoy, feel, believe, and kick the earth!

Limit break past your dreams and aim for that meteor!

We'll go beyond that boundary and surpass it!

Believe in that light shining in your hands!

Go enjoy, feel, believe, and plunge into the light!

Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush Duel!

Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush Duel!

Let's go Rush! Let's go Rush!

Title: The birth of Goha City's new pro baseball team!!

Title: Members of Goha th are also gonna tryout!!

Title: Kattobashing!

Anyway, I want you all to go prepare.

Huh? For what?

To go to tryouts, of course.

I made sure to sign everyone in the Rush Duel Club up for it.

What?!

I mean, it does say that all ages and genders can apply…

Luke, do you like baseball?

Not really.

Huh?

I learned that in baseball, you can become the “King of Base Stealing”!

So I thought a daor like that wouldn’t be such a bad idea!

I’ll become the King of Base Stealing!

Wait, don’t tell me you don’t even understand the rules…

I can’t play baseball.

I can’t. Never.

If I become the King of Base Stealing...

Then even if Yuuga becomes an employee of Goha and eventually the president who won’t give me the seat, then…

I, the King of Base Stealing, will strike while he’s unaware and...!

Hah!

I’ll steal his chair like I’m stealing bases!

Woah! There’s so many people here!

Everyone’s our rival here.

Romin-chan looks the best here~

Why’s your uniform different from ours?

I don’t want to look like everyone else, nor do I want to wear lame clothes.

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

It’s important to look strong in a uniform so you can get scouted.

Don’t you want to be a pro baseball player?!

Nope.

And there’s no way an elementary schooler could be scouted by professionals.

Look over there!

Which team do you belong to?

Would you like to be our team’s mascot?

Swirl!

Swirly’s already getting scouted to be a mascot…

See? You never know when you’ll get your big break!

We will now commence tryouts for the Goha Astro Monsters.

Looks like the pitching test is first.

Go!

Strike!

Oh! Gakuto is pretty good at throwing!

One has to be good at both literary and martial arts. That’s the Sougetsu Style.

Oh, well…

Strike!

Huh?

Next is the fielding test.

Then...!

Go!

Ooh!

Waahh!

What?!

Next is the batting test.

Woah!

Romin-chan, you’re amazing!

Stuff like this is a walk in the park.

That’s right, Romin-kun was always very athletic.

Hah!

Swirl-wirl-wirl!

L-Luke.

With this much talent in stealing bases, I’m sure to get scouted!

Oh? Is it already evening?

The sun has been setting early these days.

That’s not it, Luke-kun!

Huh?

The Goha President Siblings?!

That’s—!

Who are you?!

Hu-hu-hu.

Wouldn’t it be faster to walk?

I couldn't believe it when I saw the Rush Duel Club names on the tryout forms...

But it was true after all.

Right, Proprietress.

Did young lady Yuuka go and buy a baseball team?

Mhm.

She said any president should own a baseball team.

Well, young lady Yuuka has always loved both baseball and dueling.

Your next opponent will be me!

Batter of the Goha President Siblings, the eldest daughter...

Goha Yuuka-kun!

(kun, kun, kun)

You’ll fight me, the person who stands on top of the dueling baseball world with a BANG!

The Dueling…

Baseball world?

First pitcher: Kirishima Romin-kun!

(kun, kun)

Me?

Romin, you’re a pitcher?!

Kirishima-kun.

I’ll b*at you here and now.

Hah?

A blazing, burning, and exciting one-on-one Rush Duel match with me!

Fine, I’ll take you on!

We will now commence the duel between Goha Corporation’s Goha Yuuka versus Goha th’s Rush Duel Club’s Kirishima Romin.

Currently, the Goha th’s Rush Duel Club leads by points.

The first team to win times will be victorious.

Timeout!

The game hasn’t even started yet.

Please take these guys.

Huh?

Please take them into the dueling baseball world.

I’m counting on you!

Wh-What?

You want me to put them in my deck? Ah...

Are you ready?

Of course.

I’ll definitely win!

RUSH DUEL: RUSH DUEL!

By providence… Play ball!

Here I go!

I pledge to fight fair and square.

Send her to retirement!

Yeah!

My turn, draw!

Just what kind of ball will Pitcher Kirishima throw?

I summon Amusi Performer and Romance Pick!

There it is!

A straight strike!

I pay LP to use Amusi Performer’s effect.

I deal you LP!

She kicks things off with her first pitch, dealing damage to her opponent.

Then I pay LP to use Romance Pick’s effect.

I send the top three cards of my deck to the grave, and if there’s a Psychic-type among them, I can add it to my hand!

What will Kirishima’s second pitch be?!

I sacrifice two monsters.

Tribute summon!

Romin: Etch into them the rhythm of your soul.

Romin: Crush everything with a b*at of rage!

Romin: Esperaid of the Smashing Light!

Here comes the ace in the hole!

I set some cards and end my turn!

Kirishima starts off with a strong offense!

What are you doing?

Announcer, Goha Yuuka, will be covering this match.

My turn, draw!

And now a sudden field spell, Hot-Blooded Spirits Stadium!

Woah!

All FIRE monsters' ATK on this field will increase by for the duration of your turn only!

I summon Zubaba Batter and Gagaga Outfielder!

Of course, Yuuka has a baseball deck!

This isn’t the time to be impressed!

She has two level monsters.

It’s coming, Romin!

I’ll send these two balls outfield and construct a home run announcement!

Tribute summon!

Yuuka: Uniform No. : Junior Baseball King, Home!

A FIRE attribute!

That means it gains ATK until the end of this turn, so...

An ATK of ?!

Ah! Romin-chan’s in a pinch!

I set a card.

Junior Baseball King, Home att*cks Esperaid of the Smashing Light!

Yuuka: Home Run Slash!

It's a hit!

Ah!

A two-base hit on the fence out of the gate!

Romin-chan…!

I end my turn.

Junior Baseball King, Home’s ATK now returns to normal.

My turn, draw!

Huh, what are these?

Wait, aren’t these Luke’s...

Huh? A fox? What?

Shrimp? Donkey?

…Lightning?

Agh, what are you saying?!

Coach Luke is trying to give hand signs, but Kirishima doesn’t understand them.

Oh, right. Luke, you gave Romin some cards of yours, right?

Yeah.

They said they wanted to go.

First pitcher: Kirishima Romin-kun!

Double Talk: First pitcher: Kirishima Romin-kun!

Double Talk: (kun, kun)

What?!

Oh, oops.

Y-You guys want to play baseball?

"We want to join the dueling baseball world’s Dragons team!"

...is what they said.

That’s why I wanted to give them a chance to play!

What a surprise!

Even after his explanation, I can’t understand a word he’s saying!

Um…

It’s a FIRE attribute?

I think I can do this!

I summon Dragon’s Upsetter!

Dragon’s Upsetter’s effect activates!

I can special summon the Dragon’s Setupper in my graveyard!

I sacrifice two to tribute summon!

Dragon's Rock Closer!

Here comes a guardian angel of FIRE!

The big rookie’s here!

Thanks to Hot-Blooded Spirits Stadium’s effect, its ATK goes up by !

Next, I summon Chemical Cure Blue!

Then I use my three Blue Medicines!

Blue Medicine increases your LP by !

times is !

Yay! Now her LP are at !

Let’s go, go, Romin-chan!

Chemical Cure Blue’s effect activates!

I gain LP.

And then when my LP goes up, I can return as many Blue Medicines in my grave to my hand as I want.

Ah!

Then I use all three Blue Medicines again!

She has LP!

Fight! Go, go!

Blue Medicine!

I set a card.

I pay LP to use the spell, Amusi Cheer!

Until the turn's end, Chemical Cure Blue’s level goes up by !

And then, all of your monsters go down ATK.

Now, I pay another LP to use Dragon's Rock Closer’s effect!

This card gains another ATK until the turn’s end!

Romin-chan!

Victory is in sight!!

If you think you can hit my devilish pitch, then…

Try and hit it!

Dragon's Rock Closer...

att*cks Uniform No. : Junior Baseball King, Home!

Hu-hu-hu!

Now I activate a trap!

Request !

You can only activate that trap when your monster is destroyed in battle!

You gain LP!

Chemical Cure Blue direct att*cks Yuuka!

Hu-hu-hu.

N-No way!

Pitcher Kirishima is dumbfounded!

Who knows how this game’ll play out!

The flow of the game has totally changed with that last trap card!

I end my turn.

With this, Dragon's Rock Closer’s ATK returns to normal.

My turn, draw!

I summon Zubaba Batter, Gagaga Outfielder, and Achacha Catcher with a full swing!

Hot-Blooded Spirits Stadium’s effect!

Now, I’ll activate a legendary spell card in the dueling baseball world!

The Warrior Returning Alive!

That lets you add a Warrior-type monster from your grave to your hand!

Our tenacious fourth batter is back and ready for action!

With his second at-bat of the day, he'll send two balls outfield...

Yuuka: And construct a home run announcement!

Yuuka: Tribute summon!

Yuuka: Uniform No. : Junior Baseball King, Home!

And once again, Hot-Blooded Spirits Stadium’s effect is in play!

ATK!

With Junior Baseball King, Home and Zubaba Batter’s att*cks, Romin-kun’s LP will hit !

Ahhhh, Romin-chan!

With two outs, her back’s against the wall!

The game has just begun!

I send Chemical Cure Blue to the grave to activate the trap card, Excite Time!

Until this turn ends, Dragon's Rock Closer’s ATK goes up by !

Ohhhh! An ATK of !

You’ve got this!

If you can hold out, you've got a chance for a comeback!

Hmmm, I wonder.

I’ll show you my burning passion with my play!

I summon Achacha Catcher!

Now, I send two Level FIRE monsters to the grave to activate Uniform No. : Junior Baseball King, Home’s effect!

Until the end of this turn, its ATK goes up by !

Aaahhh!

In the bottom of the ninth, with two outs and all bases fully loaded, batter Uniform No. : Junior Baseball King, Home...

att*cks Dragon's Rock Closer!

Yuuka: Kattobashingu!

Yuuka: Home Run Double Slash!

And it’s in!

A game-winning grand slam home run!

Game set: Goha Yuuka's victory.

Goha Corporation gains one point.

I did it!

Hu-hu-hu! Hu-hu-hu!!

At this moment, Goha th's Rush Duel Club is in the lead.

That’s all.

We'll end today’s providence here.

Sorry guys...

Don’t apologize.

It’s not easy to win against the Goha President Siblings.

That’s right! Besides, we’re still in the lead.

Yeah...

Agh, but I’m still frustrated!

Kirishima-kun...!

(kun, kun)

I didn’t think you’d be able to make me feel so BOOM!

You pass tryouts!

Huh?

Together, let’s POW the dueling baseball world and heat it up with a BANG!

No thanks.

All you have to do is give me a blazing, burning signature right here on this entry contract!

I said I won’t do it!

Just a blazing, burning signature...!

Yuuga, I'm sorry.

Luke?

The reason why I wanted to become the King of Base Stealing was so when you eventually become Goha President...

I would be ready to steal the base known as the Goha President’s seat from you.

But rather than grabbing the chair while your guard’s down, I realized that it’s better to obtain it fair and square!

I’m the King of Base Stealing!

Luke, let’s put that back and go home.

If you take that, you’ll go from "stealing bases" to literal theft!

Let’s apologize immediately and return that base!

The dirt! What about the dirt I stole?!

Well, if it was only a little, it should be okay?

Let’s give up on the path of being the King of Base Stealing...

But I’ll definitely be back someday!

Thanks to young lady Yuuka winning, our side finally has a point.

Yes, Proprietress.

We must be vigilant going forward.

Yes, Proprietress.

Hmph.

I didn’t think Yuuka would actually win.

The analysis is complete.

Really?

This card has been detected to actually be usable in Rush Duels.

Hu-hu-hu.

Kojima Yoshio’s Rush Duel Fun Time!

Math!

Hey, everyone! Wanna duel today, too?

I’m Kojima Yoshio!

First of all, when a duel begins...

First of all, when a duel begins...

Do you know how many LP you have?

That's right!

Yup!

LP!

Though, in the anime, they start with .

Though, in the anime, they start with .

Actually, speaking of ...

That’s about the number of gags I have to perform.

That’s about the number of gags I have to perform.

Now, how do we reduce LP?

Now, how do we reduce LP?

I’ll split into Yoshio Aand Yoshio Bto explain things!

I’ll split into Yoshio A and Yoshio B to explain things!

It’s my turn!

Oh no! I don’t have a single monster on my field!

I’m using my ace, Sevens Road Magician...

I’m using my ace, Sevens Road Magician...

To direct att*ck!

Wh-What?!

Sevens Road Magician’s ATK is .

And the original LP is at , right?

So!

We subtract the ATK from the LP...

And the answer to that is...?

Right!

!

So he has LP left.

So he has LP left.

So, all of you at home, do your best calculations with Rush Duels!

So, all of you at home, do your best calculations with Rush Duels!

Alright, see you next time!

The back that's supposed to be far beyond

is out of sight

There's no map leading to the goal

So which way should I even go?

I had planned on standing alone

But now, you're by my side

and that isn't bad at all

Even if my hands can't reach

the future I want to grasp

and the dreams I want to come true

still remain as dreams

Let's sing as loud as we can!

As long as I walk beside you

Tomorrow will surely surpass today!

I will surely surpass the me of today!
