00:00Hello, and thank you for tuning in today. Today's topic is Play Ball.
00:21This film, Play Ball, is about a captain who led a completely unknown junior high school baseball team to become the best in Japan, but after entering high school, he temporarily gives up baseball due to a finger injury.However, with the support and cooperation of those around him, he once again becomes a great player on the baseball team.
00:41Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:44Play Ball is based on the original work by Akio Chiba, with the first season airing in 2005 and the second season airing in 2006, each with 13 episodes.
00:58The story begins with Taniguchi Takao, former captain of the baseball team at Sumiya Junior High School, who now attends Sumiya High School, watching the team practice from behind the fence.
01:11To tell you the truth, I wanted to join the baseball club, but due to an injury to the index finger on my right hand sustained during the Aoba Gakuin election, I was no longer able to throw a ball. As a result, after entering high school, I did not join any sports clubs, and instead, it became my daily routine to watch the baseball club practice after school.
01:31Meanwhile, the captain of the soccer team, Aiki, who was observing the situation at the practice field adjacent to the baseball field, invited Taniguchi to join the soccer team, despite knowing about his past.
01:45At first, Taniguchi had never even kicked a soccer ball, but through dedicated practice he quickly demonstrated his abilities and was recognized by his teammates, becoming a regular player despite being a first-year student.
02:01However, one day, the captain, Aiki, happens upon Taniguchi umpiring a little league baseball game and witnesses him appearing more lively than when he plays soccer.
02:15Aiki then realizes that Taniguchi still has regrets about leaving baseball, but at the same time, she has doubts about letting him continue playing soccer. So she consults with the baseball team captain, Tadokoro, and after hearing Taniguchi's feelings, she makes him quit the soccer team and join the baseball team.
02:36Afterwards, the baseball club members were surprised to welcome Taniguchi into the team, but because he was unable to do any proper homework, they only had him do odd jobs like weeding and polishing the ball after he joined.However, they discovered that he was a good batting pitcher, and they began considering using him as a pinch hitter.
02:55A few days later, Taniguchi takes part in the preliminaries for the Koshien tournament. However, the baseball team is deeply ingrained with a loser mentality, and has no desire to win; they are participating in the game with the assumption that they will lose. In order to change this atmosphere and way of thinking, Taniguchi struggles to change the team's direction by scouting the opposing team and devising strategies.
03:21After this, Taniguchi becomes captain again and rebuilds the weak Sumitani High School baseball team, while at the same time, with his junior high school juniors and rivals joining the team, they strive towards Koshien.
03:39Now, let me introduce the main characters.
03:43Takao Taniguchi is the main character of this work, and in addition to being active as a pitcher, third-class player, and rich-wing player, he is a player with excellent baseball sense and high-class hitting ability.
03:58During his junior high school days, he injured his index finger during a match against Aoba Gakuin, and after entering high school, he gave up baseball for a while, but he was unable to forget about it, and made a comeback, becoming captain in his second year.
04:13Furthermore, he was able to recover from surgery on his index finger, which he had given up on, but unfortunately was unable to play in the Koshien tournament, and after that he attended a preparatory school in preparation for university while also working as a baseball team coach.
04:28Tadokoro was captain when Taniguchi joined the team, and is a key player who leads the baseball team as the fourth batter and a conservative.At first, he had no intention of going to Koshien and only played baseball as an extension of sports, but since Taniguchi joined the team, he has become serious about winning.
04:49After graduating and getting a job at his family's electrical appliance store, he continued to support the baseball team and offer advice.
04:57Kurahashi Yutaka was a classmate of Taniguchi, and after Tadokoro graduated he became a conservative.
05:06Although he was known as a conservative in junior high school, after joining the baseball club he was shocked by the low level of the team and the lack of a winning mentality, and quit after three days.
05:17However, after Taniguchi's enthusiastic encouragement, he rejoined the team, but his outspoken nature caused him to get into conflict with other players.
05:31Nakayama was a pitcher one year older than Taniguchi, but he lacked any notable skills and was also moody, with the bad habit of becoming discouraged immediately after being hit.
05:42At first, he was easily beaten by his junior colleague Taniguchi and sometimes resisted advice based on data, but he has come to understand Taniguchi's personality and is now cooperative.
05:57Yamamoto is one year older than Taniguchi and was originally a non-winged species, but after Taniguchi became a non-winged species, he was converted to a first-class species.
06:06In the story, when Tadokoro retires from the club, he is chosen by lottery as captain, but he realizes that he is not fit to be captain and gives up the position to Taniguchi.
06:21Ota is one year older than Taniguchi and has the speed to run 100m in the 11-second range. He was initially a shortstop, but Taniguchi noticed his athletic ability and converted him to a middle position player.
06:36He is quick-witted and sharp, and was often seen playing while carefully assessing the flow of the game.
06:45Yamaguchi is one year older than Taniguchi, and has been converted to third-class, left field, and shortstop positions in that order.
06:54While he is known for his humorous personality on the baseball team, he is also a powerful batter in actual games, hitting a walk-off home run in the game against Seiryo.
07:08Yokoi was a classmate of Taniguchi and was a key defensive player, covering the second, third, and shortstop positions.
07:18He was also well-known as a good senior who was committed to teamwork and mentored his juniors, and his calm attitude and advice often seemed to convince everyone.
07:31Handa is a classmate of Taniguchi who joined the team midway through the season, but he is one of the least physically able players on the team, and he often holds the team back by making many errors during games.However, he also contributes to the team with his high analytical ability, including his ability to collect data.
07:52Suzuki is a classmate of Taniguchi and initially joined the team to lose weight, but as he made great strides in his performance, he also became a person who energized the team, encouraging Handa, who joined at the same time.
08:10In the story, he is converted from a Type 2 species to a Rich Wing species in order to allow Marui to join the club.
08:15Matsukawa is one year younger than Taniguchi and was the head of the family who formed a battery with Kurahashi in junior high school, but at Sumitani school he is active as a second-class, third-class, and head of the family.
08:31He was well aware of Kurahashi's words and actions, which could easily be misunderstood, and also played the role of a mediator, effectively dealing with complaints from other members.
08:41Marui is one year younger than Taniguchi and served as captain of Sumiya Junior High School. However, he failed the entrance exam for his preferred school, Sumiya, and temporarily enrolled at Asahi School. After passing the transfer exam, he became a member of the club from the periodic tournament.
09:02Since he had already been practicing with high-grade equipment, Taniguchi considered him an immediate asset and selected him for the second category in the periodic tournament.
09:12Ihara was two years younger than Taniguchi, and after succeeding Marui as captain of Sumiya Nichijo, he often appeared alongside Marui in the drama, showing concern for Taniguchi.
09:27In the original story, after enrolling at Sumitani School, he plays as a fielder, but also pitches as a fielder when necessary.
09:35Aiki was the captain of the Sumitani school soccer team, and saw Taniguchi's potential and tried to recruit him to the soccer team, but he understood that Taniguchi could not give up baseball, so he begged Tadokoro, the captain of the baseball team, to allow Taniguchi to join the team.
09:56Ogura was the captain and guard of the upper school, and was also Tadokoro's classmate in junior high school.
10:04In the play, at Tadokoro's request, they play a practice match against Sumitani School, which they underestimate as an inferior school, but because Taniguchi had thoroughly researched the superior school, they end up losing by a shutout.
10:20Matsushita was a former ace pitcher for Sumitani Nichijo Junior High School, who fought alongside Taniguchi, but after graduating he enrolled in a senior high school and appeared as a relief pitcher.
10:30In the play, he was insecure about his own abilities and was wondering whether to quit baseball, but with advice from Taniguchi, he decided to continue playing baseball, and even struck out Taniguchi when he came in as a one-point relief pitcher.
10:45Sano was a former ace at Aoba Gakuin, and after finally entering a vocational high school, he seems to have been kept as a secret weapon.
10:56In the periodic tournament, he unveiled his new weapon, a sharply curving, high-speed slider, and faced off against Sumitani School, but his determination to beat Taniguchi was so strong that he made noticeable plays.
11:10Nishida is the captain of the strong Seiryou High School and a conservative, but he uses despicable tactics unbecoming of a strong team, such as intentionally placing his catcher's mask on home base to interfere with the game.In the play, he ignores the umpire's warning and the umpire kicks his catcher's mask away.
11:33Momose was the ace pitcher for Kanko last week, and he troubled the Sumitani batting line with his sharp, cutting slow curveball, but his weaknesses were exposed when he received strategy notes from Kawakita High School's Tabuchi, and he gradually fell behind, suffering a disappointing defeat.
11:52As an aside, the original author, Chiba Akio, originally intended to publish a manga about rugby or American football, but the preparations and gathering of materials took so long that he began serializing Play Ball, the Captain's lowest level, as a stopgap until the manga was released.
12:18Therefore, it was originally planned to be a short-term series, but as the series continued, the concept expanded and it eventually became a long-running series, but ultimately it ended unfinished due to the author's illness.
12:33In fact, according to the original author's plan, in addition to playing in Koshien, he had also envisioned success in college baseball and professional baseball, but unfortunately, due to the author's request, that opportunity was lost.
12:50Then, about 40 years after the serialization of Play Ball ended, as a result of discussions between the original author's family and Grand Jump, the series was revived in 2017 as Play Ball 2, with illustrations by Koji Joekura.
13:06Well, we are finally at the final episode. The final episode will be the bottom of the previous episode.
13:19With the retirement of the third-year students, the number of club members has decreased, leaving just nine players to play in a match. Then, Marui, who has transferred to the school after passing the transfer exam, joins the club.
13:31After that, practice began with Marui joining in, and since Marui had already been practicing at a high level, expectations for Marui grew even higher, but concerns remained about Handa's defense in right field.
13:49After practice, Handa accidentally overhears a discussion between Taniguchi and Kurahashi in the clubroom about Handa's defense. He becomes convinced that he is a burden to the team, so he stops coming to practice the next day and begins to think about Oita.
14:07However, after some persuasion from Taniguchi, he eventually decides to try his best again in the baseball club.
14:17Meanwhile, autumn arrived and the regular tournament began, and Sumiya School advanced to the finals thanks to their competitive spirit, where they would face Tohto Jitsugyo High School or the same team on the day. However, due to Suzuki's injury, Handa would start in right field for the first time in an official game.
14:39On the day of the final, as Taniguchi was greeting the manager, Sano, wearing the number 10 jersey, appeared in the background and hinted that they would be playing against each other.
14:53After a while, the final match between Sumiya and the same team finally begins, but contrary to expectations, Sumiya allows runners to get on base, creating a tense atmosphere.The manager on the day then replaces his ace pitcher in the first inning and without hesitation puts Sano on the mound.
15:13After the substitution, Sano added a slider to his pitching routine and easily held down Taniguchi and the following batters, and was replaced without any help.
15:27The game then turned into a pitching duel, and although the score remained at zero, manager Okamoto began to target Handa in right field, who was a weak spot in the defense, and began to pick off at him.
15:38Marui, a Class 2 criminal, notices this plan and tries to cover Handa, but they change their target to Class 2 criminals.
15:50This leaves the Sumi players struggling to respond, but Taniguchi tells them that he will leave it to Handa to hit the ball to them, and Handa lives up to that expectation by successfully hitting the ball to right field.
16:04After that, there was a change, and in the bottom of the ninth inning, during Smear's batting, Handa's ground ball to the third-class batter, Uchimura-dera, was lucky enough to become a hit, and then Shimada used a band to allow Handa to invade, and Marui was hit by a pitch, leaving one out for the first-class batter and two outs for the second-class batter, but the powerful hitter Kurahashi hit a fly ball to center field, making it two outs.
16:27However, No. 4 Taniguchi stepped up to the plate and, despite being down to two strikes, he caught the next ball and hit a powerful hit to the pitcher, and the farewell runner, Handa, made his way around the third division and headed for home plate.
16:44Then, Mirui-tane's return throw to home plate hit Handa directly on the helmet, causing him to fall, but he quickly got up and placed the ball on home base, resulting in a cross play with Sano.
16:59The stadium fell silent for a moment, but Handa's hand reached home base and he was safe, meaning the game was over and Sumiya was victorious.
17:12At that moment, as Sumiya's players went wild and celebrated their home team, Handa, Taniguchi handed his fallen hat to Sano and vowed to face him again.
17:24The scene changes, and as the audience watches, both schools exchange their greetings after the match, and Sumiya, who was a weak team, wins the periodic tournament and is promoted to a seeded school, and the program ends with everyone quietly celebrating.
17:42Now, let's take a look at the promotional video for the 100th anniversary of Hanshin Koshien Stadium, which includes this film.
