Clannad (クラナド)

Watch out, Tomoya-kun!

Are you all right, Tomoya-kun?

Yeah. I spaced out there for a second.

Don't be looking up at the sky!

We're sorry!

It's not my fault if you get hurt!

Dad's at bat.

I want you to cheer for him, too.

Akio-san, fight!

This home run is...

Sanae!

This one's for you!

He did it!

You're amazing, Dad!

You see that?!

Hey. We're gonna go play baseball.

Go ahead.

Don't give me that!

There's another game next Sunday,

so I'm telling you to go get a team together.

You never did.

We're up against the neighboring shopping district team.

They're the rival of our shopping district team.

Dad's part of the adult team, too.

But they've recently recruited a former Koshien player.

Note: Koshien is the Japanese national highschool baseball tournament.

Thanks to that, we're on a losing streak against them.

We're pathetic.

So that's why the neighbors do not look as cheerful as they normally are.

To liven up our town, we've got to win the next match no matter what.

I don't care if the entire team's made up of helpers.

What's most important is to reverse this course.

So why do I have to be a part of this?

Second semester starts for you guys today.

You've got your buddies in the school theater club.

Nagisa, could you pass me the soy sauce?

Sure.

From the moment I saw the teamwork you guys showed at the School Festival,

I've been wanting to play baseball with you guys.

If you're Nagisa's boyfriend, then be nice to the daddy, too.

Hey! You know my right shoulder's injured!

You lit the fire in my heart!

Like the fireball!

That made no sense.

We might be able to make a miracle.

The second semester has started.

I'm still living at Nagisa's place.

As a senior in high school, we should be starting to decide our futures.

But I still don't have a clue about my future.

I'm in!

It sounds fun!

Having Kyou-chan on the team will make us invincible.

To draft this Sunohara Youhei... Nagisa-chan's father knows how to pick 'em.

Yeah. He has high hopes for your prodigy-like athleticism.

I see. So talent seems to pour out even when you're trying to hide it.

He's as easy to manipulate as usual.

What did you just say?!

I was just joking with you!

You're a super prodigy and super athletic, and super-slim so super-safe at night, too.

Note: Okazaki is making a reference to the commercial tag line for menstrual pads

Damn right I am!

Tomoya-kun. I want to try playing baseball, too.

Do you know the rules, Kotomi?

I watched you and Tomoyo-chan having a match against the Baseball Team.

It looked like lots of fun.

You were watching that?

What about you, Ryou?

I-I'll cheer from the side. I don't have confidence in sports.

I'll do my best at cheering, too.

Good luck, Tomoya-kun.

What?

You guys are looking more and more like a couple now.

You think so?

What do you want, calling me to a place like this?

Sunohara wants to do something perverted to you.

I guess there wasn't a need to test Tomoyo's athleticism.

Am I a measurement tool?!

What is this about?

It's amazing that even Tomoyo-san's joining.

I haven't decided to, yet.

I said I would if Misae-san would, too.

Misae-san looks like she has good athleticism, so we've got to talk her into it.

I've known her for a long time, so it'll work if I ask her to join.

It's Yoshino Yusuke-san.

Ah, from the wedding some time ago.

Perfect. Let's invite him, too.

Hey, Yoshino-san!

It looks like he didn't hear you.

Let's start a Yoshino call.

Yoshino call?

Like calling for an encore at concerts.

Then I bet he'll remember the days he was a musician and answer us.

Ready?

YOSHINO! YOSHINO! YOSHINO!

Louder!

What kind of harassment is this?!

I can't. I have work on Sunday.

I see...

It's nothing personal. See you.

Wait!

Tomoya-kun. I don't think you should push it.

He... Sunohara looks up to you.

His house is up north, so when he graduates, he probably won't ever come back to this town.

So he wants to create a memory with the man he looks up to, you, Yoshino-san, before he departs.

Who knew he felt such a way.

I had no idea.

Okazaki... You were that considerate of me?

You guys shouldn't cry over it.

I see.

Sorry for being so thoughtless.

Then!

Yeah. I'll try to make some time.

What do you all want with me?

Let's play baseball!

No.

Bye.

It looks like it's better for you to stay quiet.

Why?

Misae-san, could you hear us out?

You still need something?

Let's play base-

You keep your mouth shut.

Oh, Sakagami-san.

Are you here to ask questions about the student council again?

Not today.

We wish to play baseball with you.

Baseball?

Yes. You're... my goal.

And I want to be your rival, as well.

If we can fight through sports, I'm sure there is much that I can learn from you.

Could you come play with us?

I can't say no when I see those eyes.

We managed to get nine people.

Didn't think the last person would be Mei-chan.

I wonder if she'll really come.

Let's have your father come, too.

Let's have him see you working hard.

I want to properly meet your father, too.

Maybe next time.

Yeah?

Tomoya-kun!

Please wait!

I-I-I-It really is Yoshino Yusuke-san!

I'm glad you were able to get here in time.

When I told her she could meet Yoshino Yusuke, she came flying over on an overnight bus.

I remember you well, Sagara-san.

You always stood out.

Thank you for your guidance during those days.

Looks like you're getting along well.

Thanks for your concern.

Misae-san and Yoshino-san all knew each other?

Looks like it.

Bring it in, everyone!

Thank you all for coming today.

It's my honor to have you all.

But it's pointless if we lose.

Anyone who screws up will have to eat Sanae's bread.

Play like you mean it!

What does he mean by Sanae's bread?

It's better that you don't know.

The game's starting!

Do your best, Onee-chan.

Good luck, Yu-kun.

Everyone, fight.

Puhi puhi.

To challenge us with a slapped-together team like this...

You've lost your wits.

I'm not sure about that.

This might turn out to be the most entertaining team.

Strike!

It's fast.

Your brother's the only person who can catch a pitch like that amongst us.

My hand's gonna die!

No one cares about your hand, so make sure you catch it.

Aren't you too harsh?!

Three up and three down.

It's a nice start.

Hey, was he a lefty hitter?

I bet he's thinking the left batter's box is closer to first base.

Faked a swing and bunted instead...

And a pop up, too. So lame.

That's a horrible start for us.

You're a pox on the team.

We're up against a Koshien-level pitcher!

Can you hit it?!

Let me show you.

Pretty good.

How's that?

Let me hit third!

Do you not know the rules?

Let's get three runs, shall we?

Akio-san, fight!

Hey! Why don't you face me?!

We have one out and the bases loaded.

We're counting on you, Tomoyo.

It's my first time being the batter.

Switch the grip.

Is this right?

Widen your stance and lower your center of mass.

When you hit, you run to first base.
