Tribe Nine (2022) s01e04 Episode Script

Without Him...

1
We never saw Kamiya's death coming.
I can hardly remember anything
that happened in the days that followed.
Taiga!
Argh! Who do you think you are?!
Don't screw with the world's
best tuna fisherman!
Sometimes, it feels like years
since Kamiya died.
But other days,
it feels just like yesterday.
Either way, we were in total disarray,
unable to accept his absence.
Eyes won't shut
Won't look away until my mind's made up
You get one shot
Gotta grab it before it's gone
Get it, hit it, beat it, steal it
No time to hesitate, just get ready
It's always myself I'm questioning
In this moment, when we share this pain
We are all in the same generation
Living with the struggle
I've got a dream in my fist
(1-2-3 my shout)
(Strike it, strike it out)
I've decided, I don't run away
(Rock it like a star)
(Knock it out the park)
Up to the clear blue sky,
I hoist up my dream like a flag
Shouting as my heart trembles
1-2-3 my shout
Strike it, strike it out
"Episode 4:
'Without Him'"
Why?!
Why the hell didn't you tell me
that Kamiya was sick?!
Hey!
Sorry, Saorin!
But it's what Shun wanted!
Baloney!
Then what am I?!
How could he be so cruel when
we were a battery together?!
Whatever. Minato Tribe is over.
Hey, just relax.
U-Um
Yo. Don't bring Nekomaru over here.
There're shards.
Arisugawa
Maybe we shouldn't have told her.
It's just bad timing. She doesn't get
he didn't want her to worry.
Prolly not.
Was Kamiya always unwell?
Mm.
What we said was "coffee"
was his medicine.
If we hadn't fought Chiyoda, Kamiya!
Don't.
Let's not start with the "what ifs."
Sorry.
It only hurts more when
you let your mind wander.
Ow! Shun, I think ten is my limit!
What a bummer.
That's only like three outs.
No, no, no! No way!
I'm our precious backup pitcher!
I'll catch.
Eh?
Huh?
There's no way, Saorin!
Won't know till I try.
C'mon, bring it on!
Whoa!
Sick!
There's a trick to it.
Now we can get Minato Tribe started.
Hey, you're not out yet.
Get running already.
XB's supposed to be a bloody brawl.
Now, get back up!
Stop, Kamiya!
Any more and you'll break him!
A man's pride?
What the hell does that mean?!
Saying it's manhood or
whatever it's unfair!
Yeah? What do you want?
Kamiya died and
Minato Tribe got disbanded,
but you haven't lost any of your spunk.
You're!
Yo. Been looking for you.
Whoa now!
Ow! What are you doing?!
I'm confiscating this.
Why so damn loud?
That was!
Arisugawa was kidnapped?!
What?!
Of all people, you think
Saorin was kidnapped?
I'm not lying! A biker gang
was carrying her away!
Those dudes were faster than tuna!
Whoever they are,
they best not mess with her.
But with the state she's in
Yeah. She's not herself right now.
Huh? Oof!
Ow! What the hell?!
It's wrapped in paper.
It's a letter!
Let's see "We've taken Saori Arisugawa.
If you want her back,
come to Adachi City."
Adachi?
"Adachi City" "Adachi - Ohashi Bridge"
"Ohashi Bridge"
Release her!
Welcome
to Adachi City!
For me to eat?
Thanks.
You afraid?
Some sub-leader of Minato Tribe you are.
What do you want, Momotaro Senju?!
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's "Hyaku,"
not "Momo." Hyakutaro.
Hey! I told you my name a bunch!
Stop forgetting!
Why remember my kidnapper?
You're the one who won't be remembered.
Minato Tribe may have lost Shun Kamiya,
but its legend remains.
Once Adachi Tribe completely
and utterly crushes you guys,
we'll be known as
the conquerors of Neo Tokyo!
Like it or not, we're duking it out.
After all, we've got
their sub-leader hostage.
Only you consider me a hostage.
I'm worth nothing.
You must've heard about
Chiyoda's leader, Ojiro Otori.
He ordered Minato to disband,
so the old tribe won't come to save me.
Tsk! Minato Tribe has never
sounded more pathetic.
Did he shatter your spirits, too?
Well, if they don't come, I don't care.
It just means Minato's
sub-leader is all ours!
I can hardly wait to
do this and that to her!
They probably heard about Shun
and thought, "Now's our chance."
I really don't give a damn!
Let's get Arisugawa back!
So arrogant.
Yeah, arrogant.
Definitely arrogant.
Arrogant, for sure.
Shuddap! What else we gonna do?!
Micchan, get the truck
and let's head to Adachi City!
Wait, Taiga!
Eh?
We don't know their intentions,
so let's be cautious!
Huh?! You're such a scaredy-cat!
Now, now, now! Relax, you two!
Taiga is Taiga and Haru is Haru!
You both care about Saorin and
Minato Tribe which is gone now
But you care in your own way!
"Kamiya"
I wondered when he'd pass these on.
What? Isn't that Kamiya's?
Yeah.
Kamiya?
I need some fresh air.
I'll be right back.
You'll come right back?
Yup!
Hey, can I raise a flag?
What are you talking about?
My death flag.
Huh?!
Huh?!
I wanna leave my stuff to people.
That's a total death flag.
Not funny, Shun.
No? But when you expect
a character to die, they never do.
Dude
"Bored out of my mind"
So, I'm giving Manami my floor cushion.
Micchan gets my mug.
It makes any coffee extra special.
I'll give Haru my bat
If he learns how to hit with it.
And Taiga?
And Taiga?
I dunno about Taiga!
I dunno about Taiga!
But if I had to say,
I'd give him my glove.
And Saorin?
Oh, yeah. Forgot about her.
Cruel!
She'll find something to keep,
even if I don't leave her anything.
Hey! Wipe the table
or something instead of talking!
Oy!
Got it!
Bye.
"Motorcycle Life"
"Bring It On"
Here come the suckers.
They seriously came!
They're like flies to a flame!
Moths to a flame.
Where's Saorin?!
No need to panic.
Your sub-leader is fine.
She's eating special sweat as we speak.
"Sweat"? Are they doing
something dirty to her?
No, I think he means "sweets."
A-Anyway! Give Arisugawa back!
First, we play!
If you beat us, she's yours!
But Minato Tribe was disbanded!
Who cares?
She said the same thing, but all that
matters is that Adachi crushes Minato!
Whether you're disbanded or not
makes no difference!
We've just gotta win? Then we accept!
W-We do?
Do we?
Sh-Should we?
We should!
We've gotta!
But let's be careful.
Open the gate.
"Motorcycle Life"
"Bring It On"
"Ayase Alley"
"Central Shopping Arcade"
"East Senju Street"
It's Adachi City's infamous
"Eternal Shopping Arcade"!
Nicknamed, "Adachi Dungeon."
Unable to escape,
outsiders meet their doom!
It's said there're players still wandering
it, forever unable to find their bench!
You serious?! I hate scary stories!
Do we have to play?!
We're gonna clobber you guys
and get Arisugawa back!
Let's see what you've got,
Minato Tribe. I doubt this'll take long.
Hell yeah!
Batter out!
Huh?
So lame!
Where the hell do we hit?
It's like pinball.
This might be tough.
Nice!
Um, was 1st base this way?
"Road Closed"
What?! Talk about confusing!
"No Entry" Here, too?! I thought
I just passed through this way
Excuse me, mister?
Could you be a sweetheart and
help me carry this? It's really heavy.
Y-You okay?
Huh? What?!
If you thought this was any place
for kindness, you're wrong.
Says the big mouth on the bench.
All bark and no bite.
Minato Tribe without Kamiya
is more on Umeda's level.
What?!
What?!
Whatever. It's time to shut you up.
I'll crush you!
Bring it on!
Strike!
Strike!
Strike! Batter out!
Taiga, you've gotta watch the ball.
Shit!
T-Taiga!
Shuddap!
Minato Tribe without Kamiya is a joke.
I don't even need to play.
"Central Shopping Arcade" An infamous dungeon in
enemy territory There's little hope to win.
If only Kamiya was here
Three outs! Switch!
Bring it! Good luck getting a hit,
'cuz I'm gonna strike all you punks out!
A motorcycle?!
Here he comes!
Oh, can't do much without the ball.
Wh-What?!
Minato's completely outclassed.
Give up already and run along home.
Shuddap! You're the one
cheating by riding a motorcycle.
This isn't a motorcycle.
These are judge-approved spikes.
Eh?!
Where's the ball?
Shit, I can't find it! Wait!
It's a miracle I found it in this maze.
Hey! Throw the ball back!
Or throw it home!
Which way?!
Right? Wait, to the East?
Well, for starters
Where the hell am I, even?!
Huh? He already made it to home plate?
Too easy. You guys are
no more than small fries.
Wait, dammit!
It's gone! It's not here,
or there, or anywhere!
Huh? Uh
He's already here?!
How?!
"Ohashi Shopping Arcade"
Safe!
Well, that makes ten.
C'mon, you could try at least.
Time out!
The hell's up with this field?!
How about you quit getting hit?
Shut up!
The ball's impossible to find
and their runners are so elusive.
We don't stand a chance.
Tsk! They've even batted around.
H-Humiliating.
Yeah, humiliating.
Definitely humiliating.
Humiliating, for sure.
Minato Tribe sucks!
That was cruel.
You guys are nothing without Kamiya!
They're right. Look how weak
Minato Tribe is with Kamiya gone.
Shuddap! Zip it, Haru.
S-Sorry.
It's so funny.
You guys are like toy monkeys
running low on batteries.
And who are you?
An eavesdropping Adachi spy?
Who's that?
Nobody I know.
Indeed. Who am I?
"Who am I?" We don't have time
for your riddles!
Oh, that reminds me
Want me to join Minato Tribe?
Kamiya had asked me to.
S-Say what?
Shun Kamiya did?
He never said anything like that!
I wonder.
First of all, can you even play XB
with that left arm of yours?
Even if I couldn't use it, I have
superior intellect that you goons lack.
In that aspect, you and
those monkeys are the same.
Oh? So you think you can beat us?
I do. I bet my right arm on it.
Fine. Suit yourself.
Wha?!
Wha?!
Who let you decide?!
It's not like we care.
This game's way too easy as it is.
Let's assess the situation.
Adachi Tribe is playing in their home
shopping arcade and riding motorcycles.
You Minato monkeys are getting lost in
their dungeon and chasing after them.
W-We can't help it!
Monkey #1 is dumber than Adachi Tribe.
Ooh-ooh-aah! That was uncalled for!
Why am I dumber?!
Do you think the dumb Adachi Tribe can
navigate this complex shopping arcade?
Look at this.
Huh?
What?
What are we looking at?
They're just manholes.
Correct, Monkey #2.
Now how about using your brain for once?
You wanna piece?!
Taiga, hold on!
The tire marks disappear
at all of them! Which means
Yup. I'm glad you noticed,
but these other dumb monkeys haven't.
Ooh-ooh-ahh!
Ooh-ooh-ahh!
But if you do as I say, perhaps there's
hope for you monkey brains.
This is so easy, it's boring.
Adachi once had plans to build
a giant underground shopping center.
But thanks to the recession,
those plans got put off.
Huh?
Tsk! It's exactly like he said.
You guys are a bunch of moles.
Outta my way!
It's such a simple scheme,
I'm shocked you didn't notice.
I haven't introduced myself.
I'm Kazuki Aoyama. Now let's
see you guys show off your stuff.
If you can, that is.
