Tribe Nine (2022) s01e09 Episode Script
Walk-off Win
1
Throw with all you've got.
Pathetic.
Kazuki, you're a disappointment.
I thought you'd be the ultimate player,
fit to carry on the Otori name,
but I clearly overestimated you.
Number 74 No, Ojiro.
Break his arm
so he can never play XB again.
Failures are not welcome here.
Ojiro
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 9: WALK-OFF WIN
Die!
The best player in Minato Tribe's
history is backme!
That makes three outs.
Taiga! Weren't you training in Taito City?
I ran away!
Grr! That octopunk!
How dare you run off on your own!
THANKS
Now, now. He didn't leave
with your blessing,
but his training sure paid off.
And how's that?!
This doesn't change the fact
that he ran from his master.
Let's go, Haru.
Let's beat these Ota chumps.
Hmm? What's up?
Kazuki is just using us
to get revenge on Ojiro.
There's no point in playing.
Huh?! You're giving up over
something like that?
Y-Yeah.
Hurry up and get ready to bat!
Huh? U-Um!
Kazuki! Move your ass!
Things just got interesting again.
Dammit!
-What a mess.
-Yeah.
The only ones
who can play are me, Haru, you
-Me?
-And Kazuki, huh?
I can win XB all by myself,
just like Ojiro.
Don't worry.
If you do as I say, we'll win.
Fine.
I'm a pathetic loser who lost to
Ojiro and was cast out by Tenshin.
I joined you guys to get revenge.
Hey! Protecting you is
how we ended up in this shape!
So what? I never asked
for your protection.
You little!
-Stop, Micchan!
-You okay?
Let's hand him over to Ota
and get outta here.
Maybe. I don't like playing XB
to get revenge, but
Hey, hey, hey!
You're just gonna admit defeat?!
That's right! You'd rather
we join hands with this scumbag?
Why's everyone so mad?
I'm pretty sure he's a scumbag that's
been using us from the very start.
I can't tell if you're on my side or not.
Revenge on Ojiro?
That's fine by me.
We wanna kick his ass, too, right?
The only thing on our minds
should be winning this game!
Forget about Kazuki!
Taiga
Good point. The idiot is right.
-Hey!
-Well
Shall we begin our counterattack?
C'mon! I'm gonna blast it into space!
No need for that.
Just finish your at-bat quickly.
Hey! Don't go killing my vibe!
But, look
Instead of wasting energy hitting
and possibly getting hurt,
it's smarter to strikeout.
Sh-Shuddap. Scoring never hurt anybody.
The fruits of my training!
Taiga, the whiff machine
hit the first pitch?
No He completely missed it.
-Huh?
-Huh?
Brute strength is all that meathead knows!
Indeed. His "stupid strength"
creates a vacuum around the bat
which changes the ball's trajectory.
You can't do that
without ridiculous strength.
But to him, it's as if
he hit the ball normally.
Which is why your training had
him focus on increasing his power.
Dear me. It almost looks like
a tornado passed through here.
That's Master Hanafuda for you!
I-I ain't no master.
What now? We'll lose at this rate.
If we're down by 101,
we've just gotta score 102.
I'm our pitcher
Don't worry, it's your job to
give up hits. As for the outs
Yup! I'll kick all the runner's asses!
I-I'll fetch the balls.
Right down the middle.
You underestimate me!
It's between first and second!
Shiro, it's all you.
Who are these guys?
W-Wait!
-Sonoda!
-Hmm?
You get points
if runners make it home, right?
Those guys are our runners.
What the hell? Hey! Don't ignore me!
Huh?! What?!
This is fun!
They're doing whatever they want!
What now?
Haru, Taiga. Stopping runners is
pointless if the judge robots are broken.
You say that, but unless we do
something, they'll overtake us!
Let's fix the judge robots
before that happens.
Hey, hey, hey! Eat this!
Zappy zap! Zap! Zappy zap!
Someone's interfering
with them from high up.
There!
You love me, right? Say you love me!
-Huh?
-Hmm?
There's two of 'em at the entrance!
-Haru! Combo play!
-Got it!
-Here they come.
-Battle time!
-Huh?
-Hmm?
You bastard!
Take this! Zappy! Huh?
Huh? What the?
Hey!
I'm gonna blow you up!
Wha?!
Ow, ow, ow! Watch it!
Taiga!
That was too easy!
Now you've done it!
-Huh?
-Hey!
Taiga, wait! She's just a girl!
I don't hit ladies, so admit
defeat and behave yourself!
-Wuv!
-Huh?
Enoki's out, huh?
Sweet! Mission complete!
Good work, but I've got
good news and bad news.
-Huh?
-Huh?
Thanks to you, the judge robots are fixed.
The bad news is Ota's beating us.
At this rate, we'll lose.
Eh?!
Nope! If anything, the stage has been set!
Bottom of the ninth and one down!
This calls for a walk-off win!
Batter out!
Sorry.
I bat next followed by you and Taiga.
Two outs left
Make sure I get a chance to bat!
It's a given that I'll hit,
so it's up to you guys.
Yeah, yeah.
Sure, but
There's that face again.
The "no-confidence face."
What's my batting average?
Um, zero.
Yeah. So I shouldn't
be confident at hitting.
But if you wanna hit, you can.
And I'll prove it to you now.
Yeah! It's all you!
The rest is in your hands.
One-handed? That's disrespecting me!
Pathetic!
Kazuki!
Strike! Strike!
-Get lost!
-You suck!
Dammit!
Whoops! It slipped outta my hand!
With this pitch, it's over!
He got jammed!
-Go!
-Kazuki, run!
I don't think so!
Shit!
Was he always that fast?!
He's only got one arm! Stop him at first!
Die!
Safe!
-Hell yeah!
-Nice!
C'mon, Haru. The rest is all you.
It's okay to strike out! I'll take over!
I can hit.
I can hit! No, that's not it.
I'll
end this!
Yeah!
That's better. If you stop
doubting yourself, you can do it.
You're shitting me!
A walk-off win is way too ordinary.
All that wonderful chaos
has gone to waste!
Chaos this, chaos that. It gets old.
Using unapproved gear
is forbidden by the!
Shut up.
Shut up! Shut up!
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
This sorta thing is why XB
is such a boring game.
Don't you agree?!
I don't care about the job anymore.
Now I just wanna play!
Those are!
I prepared this
special stage just for you!
C'mon, let's play a
delightful game of chaos!
The rules are simple: we take turns
pushing the detonation switch.
Not even I know which one
will explode! Exciting, right?!
I'll start.
That's chaos all right.
Game over!
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Well done, Haru! Impressive!
To think you'd be able
to handle the beam bat!
But make no mistake!
You're the supporting hero.
The real hero is me!
It's truehe scored one
whole run. Just one.
Listen! You guys might've lost
if I hadn't come! Don't you get it?!
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
So start praising me!
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
More please.
Huh?!
Um, aren't you in Ota?
Sure am.
Shouldn't you go back?
Nope! I'm not leaving Taiga's side!
You're so annoying! Go somewhere else!
Grr! Nope!
If you leave me, I'll die after
killing you so we're together in hell.
-Scary.
-Man, Taiga's such a womanizer.
Would you let go already?!
Anyway, I'm glad it all worked out.
Me, too. Rules are important.
Yeah.
Those judge robots
Kazuki!
You're leaving?!
That's right.
To get revenge on Ojiro?
He and I were raised at the same facility.
What?
But we were kidnapped by Tenshin
and trained to be ultimate XB players.
Ever since then,
Ojiro has stopped smiling.
I wanted to save him from ruin.
With Minato Tribe
With you and Taiga,
I felt like doing that was possible.
Kazuki
It was fun playing with Minato.
To think, if we had played on
a team like this from the start
Leaving without saying goodbye?
You've got nowhere else to go.
It's a Minato rule to spin three times
and meow when you leave.
We're comrades, right?
And this is proof of it.
Don't just leave it lying around.
Sorry, I knew I misplaced that somewhere.
Thanks.
Interfering with judge robots?
That's quite interesting, Ota Tribe!
Go to Ota City and
investigate this technology!
Yes, sir!
Why do you think we need it?
To ensure victory, of course.
What value is there in such schemes?
In victory?
Victory is all that matters.
You either win or you lose.
You expect me to win that way?
Don't question me!
I'll do anything to win,
whether it's crooked or not!
In the Otori Family,
anything but victory is unthinkable!
One does what one must
to grasp victory, no matter what.
Interference, match fixing
Whatever means possible to dominate!
I decide the legality!
That's right! I should
just make new rules!
Yo. Took you long enough.
Yes! This is it!
This is chaos!
Despicable.
Throw with all you've got.
Pathetic.
Kazuki, you're a disappointment.
I thought you'd be the ultimate player,
fit to carry on the Otori name,
but I clearly overestimated you.
Number 74 No, Ojiro.
Break his arm

Failures are not welcome here.
