AISubs v3.7
The Man's Challenge Series!
The star is, of course, this man!
Oh, my...
The commentator of this show, Tetsuro Tegawa!
His challenge is...
Will Tetsuro be able to catch Ichiro's back?
Oh, catching back!
That's what Ichiro does a lot, isn't it?
That's because Ichiro has a tremendous physical ability,
so he can do it so easily.
Even an ordinary professional baseball player can't catch back like that.
You know a lot about baseball, don't you?
No, of course!
I'm a baseball player.
I'm from Okahama's Meimon Armed High School Baseball Club.
However, what he was doing was difficult,
and he can't even get on the bench.
What's more, now he can't stand on one foot and put on socks.
Will Tetsuro be able to catch back like that?
The challenge team is...
Yankees' hometown, America, New York, where Ichiro belongs.
Do you have any special guests?
Yes, we do.
Wow!
I've talked about it on the phone.
You do?
When I was drinking with Mr. Akko,
Mr. Akko called me and said,
I'm Tetsuro Tegawa. Do you know me?
I said, "Of course I know you. Oh, no, oh, no."
Oh, no, oh, no.
I might still call you, though.
I can't let you have high expectations of me, so I'll tell you my conclusion first.
Ichiro won't be on the show.
Only Tetsuro will be on the show.
Meanwhile, Degar Girl is...
She's from New York.
She's an English actress.
Her name is Mayuko Kawakita.
Will Tetsuro be able to successfully catch back like that?
It's 19,000 kilometers away from Japan.
This is a man's challenge.
Will Tetsuro be able to catch back like Ichiro?
IN AMERICA
We're in New York!
Yeah!
Look! Yankee Stadium!
This is where players like Ichiro and Koroda play.
You're from the area, but did you go to Yankee Stadium often?
I used to go there a lot in the past.
Oh, you really like Yankees!
I do, I do!
By the way, who's fan are you of Yankees?
I like Gen Cheater.
What?
I like Gen Cheater.
Oh, Cheater!
Nice to meet you!
Dark Cheater, right?
Nice to meet you!
This time, we've prepared an exclusive coach.
Highman Catch's coach, Doug Jennings!
My name is DJ.
Oh, you can speak Japanese!
You can speak Japanese! Wow!
Oh, you're an Oryx DJ?
Yes!
Wow, you're a DJ!
An Oryx player!
That's right, Doug is a former professional baseball player who used to be a DJ.
At the time, he and Ichiro were teammates.
In 1995, he scored four consecutive home runs and set a Japanese record.
So, you watched Ichiro's Highman Catch up close, didn't you?
Of course! But it's pretty difficult!
Wow, wow, wow!
There's no way I can do it!
It's impossible for an Ichiro player to do it!
Ketsuro! Ketsuro!
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay!
Don't tell me you're going to do it!
Oh, of course, of course!
Yes, yes!
No, no!
Now, let me explain about today's challenge.
You have two days to practice.
On the third day, you'll go to that Yankees stadium.
Unfortunately, it's not a Yankees stadium.
It's this baseball stadium!
Now, I'll show you how I taught Ichiro how to do Highman Catch.
Let's start training!
He appears in an EAST LIFE special uniform.
Wow, you've changed a lot, DJ!
Tetsuro!
Oh, 49 years old?
But why are you 49 years old?
Huh? 49 years old?
Oh, you're older.
Oh, I'm older?!
Huh?!
Oh, now?!
Tetsuro's Way of Becoming a Highland Catcher
Step 1. Gain posture.
The most important thing is the posture of catching.
Raise your arms up to here and catch.
Huh?!
So you catch it with your back?
Yeah, like this.
Can you do it?
Oh, I see.
Huh?! Can you catch it like this?!
To practice that posture...
Huh?!
Parabola!
Catch it with your back hand.
Oh, I see.
Can you catch it, Tetsuro?!
Parabola!
Huh?! Can you catch it like this?!
No, no, miss, you don't know how to do it.
You have to catch it with your back hand.
Parabola!
Huh?!
No, no, miss, you have to do it!
Really?!
Seriously!
Huh?!
Parabola!
See?! You can't do it!
Raise your arms up and bow.
Please bow.
Parabola!
No, no, you have to raise your arms back.
Oh, you went over there?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
A little higher.
Huh?!
No, no, miss, you don't know how to do it.
Oh, I see.
You're lucky, miss.
No, no, you have to bow like this.
Oh, you have to bow like this in Mont Blanc.
Oh, I see, I see.
And finally...
Wow!
Anyway, don't look away!
I'll do it.
This time, she'll throw it.
Parabola!
Learn the distance between the ball and the ball that passes above you with your body.
Parabola!
If you can't catch a volleyball, you'll never catch a baseball!
Oh my god.
It's hot.
- Oh my god. - It's really hot.
She's serious about it.
She's tired of planning in 30 minutes.
And one hour after practice...
She finally catches it.
I did it!
So cool!
I did it!
She's doing it with a volleyball.
It's impossible!
Miss, can you go home?
Can I?
The way to catch it from the back.
Step 2. Catch it from the side.
Look at the ball and catch it from the side.
OK.
Can she do it?
Oh, nice!
Volleyball practice...
I can catch it this fast!
Even if it's far away...
As you can see...
It's true!
If you can catch it from the side...
You can see...
The success of catching it from the back.
Wow!
Can I do it?
She's been doing it for 7 years.
Wow!
She's learned how to do it so well.
Have you seen anything like it?
Wow!
The only problem is...
It's not very interesting.
But that's our opinion.
It didn't betray our expectations.
During practice...
They shoot a one-shot image cut.
The funny thing happened in the middle of it.
I'll catch it and say, "Yes!"
Are you OK?
Could it be...
This is bad.
This is really bad.
He twisted his right ankle and fell down.
I did it.
Just like how the God of Baseball smiles at Ichiro,
the God of Laughter smiles at Ichiro.
This is not funny!
This is bad!
If you say "gniu", I'll do it.
I know, but...
Are you kidding me?
No!
That's right!
Everyone is laughing so hard!
I can't do "gniu" with a ball like that!
This is not a practice for winning.
This is the worst.
In the end, the practice was canceled that day.
And because of the pain the next day,
the practice was canceled.
It can't be helped.
New York reporter Maiko Tetsuro!
What's this?
Oh, it's a soba restaurant!
I know it!
My family often comes here.
Really?
Yes, we often come here.
It's famous, then!
Yes, it's famous.
Wow!
Actually, this is Ichiro's favorite restaurant.
You can eat handmade soba in New York.
It's called "soba".
Wow, it's a lot of soba.
Wow!
Ichiro's favorite soba is "mori soba" and "mani oyakodon".
This time, it's a two-hour special.
What?
Actually, I'd like Ichiro to come out around here,
but the world is not so sweet.
Moreover, the practice of "back catch" was also canceled.
There is nothing to show.
A 49-year-old man just eats "mori soba".
It's good. But you know...
It's hard for me to understand with my report.
Oh my god! Stop it!
This is...
Hill-nan-desu!
You're making fun of me!
I'm your fan!
Would you like me to show you the report of the lady I trained in Hill-nan-desu?
Yes! Kawakita is in charge of food report in Hill-nan-desu!
It's good!
No, no, no!
Hill-nan-desu!
You're making fun of me!
I'm your fan!
You were happy when I said you were good at food report.
When you said "you're good at it" to someone...
Is that so?
Hill-nan-desu!
It's about time that they don't care about it anymore.
That evening...
After suffering pain, Tetsuro returned to the ground.
Are you okay?
I know it's a taping, but I can't say anything like that.
It's okay if it starts.
And what I want to say the most is...
When you knock...
Don't put the ball around me.
Let's go!
Step 3.
Yesterday, he caught it from the outside.
Today, he'll try to catch it from the back.
Pretend you're catching the ball you threw from the front and drop it to the back.
Oh, okay, okay.
Can he do it?
You can do it!
Ouch!
Why?
You hit me, but...
You have to go forward more!
Oh, no.
I'm scared now.
This is a practice of remembering where the ball landed.
Oh, good, good, good.
Look at the ball and bow.
Okay, okay, okay.
At this time, if the ball doesn't come as close as possible to the buttocks,
catching it from the back won't work.
Oh, good, good, good.
Oh, nice!
Nice, nice, nice!
I see.
Now's the chance!
Nice!
Wow!
OK, slowly, slowly.
However, as the distance increases, so does the speed of the ball.
Ah!
Ah, so close!
It hurts!
My ankles hurt and my body hurts!
It's OK, it's OK, it's OK, it's OK!
Let's go to the next one! Let's go to the next one!
That's right! There's no time!
Ouch!
He puts his distance gun into his body...
Ouch!
You did a great job! You did a great job!
Are you OK?
It hurts so much!
We're not dating!
Without a fearless warrior spirit, you can't succeed.
I see, you're a warrior.
OK?
OK, I am a warrior.
OK.
Why does Dega keep receiving the ball?
Ah!
It's OK, it's OK.
Ouch!
I hit it!
Catch, catch!
Tomorrow's main event is "catching a ball".
This level of pain won't make any sense.
Are you OK?
OK! I'm OK! Come on!
You can't do it with words! Come on!
Thirty-three years ago...
A man who continued to heat up benches at Kanagawa Armed School...
Ara!
Tetsuro Dedo!
He has no skills or sense of humor.
More than anyone else, he continues to love baseball.
This is it! This is it!
This is it!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Behind you! Behind you! Behind you!
His legs are not in good condition.
Well, he's tried various challenges so far, but...
His condition is the worst.
However...
Ichiro Kano...
In his second WBC match...
In the end...
He fell in front of the center...
If I couldn't hit it there...
I wouldn't have been able to go back to Japan.
If I couldn't catch it tomorrow...
I wouldn't have been able to go back to Japan.
Ichiro and I work in a soba restaurant.
What I want to expect...
For me...
I don't want to become a soba restaurant owner.
His lack of practice is obvious.
Will Tetsuro be able to make a miracle happen?
On the day of the match...
The stage we prepared is...
Wow! Amazing!
At New York Yankees Goyota City,
Hitchmond County Bank Ballpark!
However, the usage is high and you can only challenge for 2 hours!
- I see! - How are you doing?
As usual, I'm not doing well,
but when the real thing starts, I'll go up to Anodera.
Don't forget the samurai spirit!
- Samurai! - Yes!
Go!
Finally, Tetsuro's passionate challenge begins!
- I'm nervous! - I'm nervous!
Rival, Tetsuro!
Number 49!
In New York,
why is Ezra becoming a fan of Maracano?
Yeah!
I'm going to make it a success!
Oh, it's fantastic!
Yeah!
Because of the lens,
it's his first time catching a ball.
Looking at him like that,
it looks like it's impossible to catch it, but will he be able to do it?
Standing in the batter's box is DJ!
His skillful mocking technique is the key to a successful backhand catch!
Now, the stage is set!
Yes! It's fast!
The memorable first pitch!
Isn't it good?
It's a back straight strike that makes you feel the possibility from the first pitch!
What's wonderful is DJ's knock!
He pinpoints the outfield that hardly moves!
You're amazing!
But there's no time to hesitate!
This is my bus! My bus!
Number 29!
My bus!
Oh!
But, it was so close.
From now on, the situation where you can't even touch your body will continue forever.
The time spent in training is being lost little by little.
But in the meantime, once again a big chance!
45 minutes since the challenge started!
Ah! It touched!
The ball got caught in Degas' glove!
Touch! Touch!
Touch me!
After that, there were many chances that he wanted, but he couldn't catch them.
The time spent in training was over an hour.
So close!
Oh my god!
And, 84 pitchers started to feel anxious!
Nice! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Was it once?
Nice! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Once it got into the glove, but it spilled!
Oh my god!
It went in now, right? It went in now!
OH MY GOD!
Why? Why?
There must be a hole in the glove, like you said.
No, no, no!
Next, next!
Just a little more!
Let's switch!
Alright, I'll do it, I'll do it!
I am a bush, I am a bush!
Come on!
Actually, there are 111 people!
Finally, the goi kenban will do a miracle!
Come on!
Aye!
The first catch is a success!
Yeah!
All members of the team bless the moonfish.
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah!
We were 100% sure that the race would be a success!
Wow, really?
Is it true?
Because it's only been half a day since we met.
Sorry, guys.
OK, OK.
And now, for the miracle moment, once again...
Huh?
Oh, it's there!
OK, got it!
Did you get up?
Are you OK?
It's not over yet!
Good job, Tetsuro!
