We’re all used to the eccentricities of each character, and the techniques the boys use to stay calm and focused during their games, but from an outside perspective Nishiura high school baseball team is absolutely fucking bizarre.
*Nishiura calls time*
Opponent team: oh they must be making a game plan, alright
*Abe goes out to stand in the middle of the field and hold hands with Mihashi while staring intently into his eyes*
Opponent team: what the fuck is going on???
*Abe calls Mihashi hispitcher, promises to take care of him for the next 3 years, swears that they’ll win for his sake, Mihashi is crying incoherently*
Opponent team: they know we’re in the middle of a game, right? do we need to get them a room or something….?
Opponent team: how are these freshmen staying so calm in such a serious game??? what’s their trick???
*Looks across to Nishiura’s dugout where Mizutani is screaming while Izumi and Mihashi tickle him*
Opponent team: ?????? do we need to call somebody?? is he okay?
*Tajima makes an impossible shot and gets several runs*
Opponent team: how cool is that prodigy?? he must be a genius
Tajima, immediately after finishing the game, shirt off, dick out: rice is a type of protein right??
Hanai:jesus christ how have you survived for this long
tl;dr:
Big hot shot team pre-game: This game will be pathetically easy – they’re just a bunch of freshies!! Practically toddlers!
*Nishiura during the game* Reads the pitchers’ movements, memorises each batters preferences, goes full-on klepto with bases. Wins.
Hot shot team: What in tarnation….
*Nishiura after the game* has players falling asleep on public bunches like a bunch of hobos, some of them half-naked, Abe yelling incoherently over the mess
So, I went back to the sport titles. And I can not tear myself away from Oofuri. Interesting matches (I finally understood the rules of baseball, lol) and very lovely players.
Strange pitcher Mihashi *I can get scared even the wind* Ren Tactician-catcher Abe *I DO NOT YELL AT YOU* Takaya Tajima *I am a simple guy, but my fucking game amaze you* Yuichiro Hanai *I will not join the team OMG I’m captain OMG I have made a home-run* Azusa Momoe *I am the ideal coach, but you have underestimated me because I’m a woman* Maria Izumi *I’m used to it* Kosuke Haruna *Even the sun revolves around me* Motoki Takase *I may fall out of the game because of the funny faces Mihashi* Junta Kurata *I will not continue to maim enemy playe..UPS!* Takeshi
I could watch this spokon many years ago. But unfortunately, I’m an idiot
