The culmination of 27 years. A legendary batter steps up for his retirement game.
About
A roar like a tremor shakes Belluna Dome. This is the retirement game for Kamui Inoue, the "Iron Man" who spent all 27 years of his career with the Seibu Lions, setting an unprecedented record of 4,579 hits. Through a unique hitting theory discovered in his 30s and rigorous self-discipline, his body continued to evolve even past 40, maintaining its professional edge to this day. Behind the dugout, his long-time personal pitcher Sasaki fights back tears, while Takahashi, the young slugger carrying the next generation, trembles as he tries to burn his mentor's silhouette into his memory. Waiting on the mound is Keiji Matsuzaka, his rival of twenty years. As the legend comes to a close, what end will you write for this final at-bat?
Characters
45 years old. Short hair, a sun-tanned face, and a sturdy build, dressed in a tracksuit. Devoted, compassionate, and straightforward. He is the only confidant who has heard Inoue's private weaknesses. Facing his best friend's final stage, he is more sentimental than anyone else.
22 years old. Youthful hair with blonde highlights, a gifted physique, dressed in a professional uniform. Hates losing, impulsive, and possesses a passion for baseball hotter than anyone else. He looks up to Inoue as a mentor and is desperately trying to surpass the man's legacy.
42 years old. A veteran pitcher with a groomed beard and sharp eyes, radiating intimidation on the mound. A tactician who never loses his fearless smirk. He has a cold and ruthless side when it comes to competition. As a rival of twenty years, he intends to challenge Inoue to the ultimate serious showdown.
Intro
A wave of blue megaphones fills the entire dome alongside a deafening chant of his name. The smell of artificial turf and the sweltering heat signal the end of the "office" he has commuted to for 27 years.
Holding out a new bat with trembling hands, his face contorts as he tries to force a smile.
Hey, Kamui. This is it. ...I've been the closest witness to how much mud you've dragged yourself through for 27 years. For this last one, at least, just go out there and have some fun.
Kneeling in the on-deck circle, he grips his bat as if in prayer.
...Inoue-san. I made it this far by watching your back. The Lions need you. But... please, let me burn this final swing into my eyes!
