**[00:01] ---**
Would you really do the same thing
in that situation, teach?!
**[00:06] ---**
Some pain in life must be
borne with. Remember that.
**[00:10] ---**
Stupid freshman like you
don't get to talk back!
**[00:12] ---**
Eat shit and die!
**[00:14] ---**
Hold on, Kite!
**[00:15] ---**
Stay out of it.
**[00:18] ---**
He's doing exactly what
Satsuki told us we'd have to.
**[00:20] ---**
For real.
**[00:22] ---**
Right now, he's bearing all the pain
so that the basketball team can survive.
**[00:26] ---**
Kite...
**[00:27] ---**
That dumbass!
**[00:29] ---**
And it's our responsibility...
**[00:30] ---**
...to bear the pain of having
to watch him get beat up like this!
**[00:34] ---**
But honestly...
**[00:36] ---**
...I don't think this whole "bear the pain" thing
is such a good fit for me.
**[00:42] ---**
So without further ado, I'll be introducing
the newest member of the team.
**[00:45] ---**
Natsume Kenj-
**[00:45] ---**
I'm Kite.
**[00:47] ---**
I look forward to playing with you.
**[00:48] ---**
I get it.
**[00:50] ---**
I'm done. No more fights.
**[00:52] ---**
Still, our practice sessions have only been
the same thing over and over.
**[00:55] ---**
Don't you have anything else
that we can do, Captain?
**[00:58] ---**
Yo, Teach.
**[00:59] ---**
Quit staring and try actually
coaching us for once.
**[01:01] ---**
You're our advisor, right?
**[01:03] ---**
That's true.
**[01:05] ---**
Then... how about you do some running?
**[01:11] ---**
Dammit, Momoharu. You and your big fat mouth.
**[01:14] ---**
Um, Momoharu?
**[01:15] ---**
I think we really need someone to help research
and plan a training schedule for us.
**[01:21] ---**
You're right. I'll think about it.

Manager
**[03:00] ---**
Yasu! You need to be more
aggressive on defense!
**[03:02] ---**
You've left him wide open for a three!
**[03:03] ---**
R-right!
**[03:24] ---**
Huh?
**[03:26] ---**
What was that?
**[03:30] ---**
What's wrong? You hurt or something?
**[03:32] ---**
No, but I heard a weird
noise from my sneakers...
**[03:37] ---**
M-m-my basketball shoes...
have a hole in them!!
**[03:48] ---**
Nasuko South
Shopping District
**[03:51] ---**
Sports Shop
Suzuki
**[03:51] ---**
Hmm... this hole is bad news.
**[03:53] ---**
I think it'd be faster if you just bought
an entirely new pair.
**[03:53] ---**
Sports Shop
Suzuki
**[03:56] ---**
These are an older model, anyway.
**[03:58] ---**
Are you sure?
**[03:59] ---**
Um...
**[04:01] ---**
How about these babies?
**[04:02] ---**
They're a new model from AND1.
Buy them now and I'll hook you up with a discount.
**[04:05] ---**
Um, no thanks, I'm good.
**[04:11] ---**
This totally sucks...
**[04:13] ---**
I've been to 5 stores already
and none were willing to fix them for me.
**[04:18] ---**
Crap! The next shop is the
very last one on my list!
**[04:21] ---**
Sports Nanao
**[04:22] ---**
Whatever.
**[04:23] ---**
If this place won't do it,
then I'll just have to fix them myself.
**[04:29] ---**
Right here. This is it.
**[04:31] ---**
NANAO
**[04:35] ---**
Excuse me!
**[04:38] ---**
Hello?
**[04:40] ---**
Whoa. They have a lot more
basketball stuff than I expected.
**[04:44] ---**
That might be a good sign!
**[04:45] ---**
Coming!
**[04:47] ---**
Welcome!
**[04:49] ---**
Please wait a moment!
**[05:06] ---**
Ow, that hurt!
**[05:08] ---**
Huh? Where's the customer?
**[05:11] ---**
U-um...
**[05:14] ---**
I... can't breathe...
**[05:21] ---**
I'm sorry! So Sorry!
**[05:23] ---**
I was in such a rush I lost my footing.
Please forgive me!
**[05:26] ---**
It's okay. I'm sorry, too.
**[05:28] ---**
Um, you're not hurt, are you?
**[05:30] ---**
Uh, no!
**[05:31] ---**
I'm totally fine thanks to you!
**[05:34] ---**
Huh?
**[05:36] ---**
You're Kurumatani!
**[05:38] ---**
Um... have we met before?
**[05:41] ---**
I actually go to the same school as you!
**[05:43] ---**
Oh! You're in the class next to mine...
**[05:47] ---**
I'm so glad that you remember me!
**[05:50] ---**
Uh, yeah.
**[05:51] ---**
You stood out to me at the first school assembly,
since we're about the same height.
**[05:57] ---**
That's for sure!
**[05:58] ---**
My name is Nao Nanao!
**[06:00] ---**
Let's be friends!
**[06:03] ---**
I'm Sora Kurumatani.
**[06:05] ---**
Very cute...
**[06:06] ---**
What?
**[06:07] ---**
Huh?! Oh, uh, nothing! Never mind!
**[06:10] ---**
Um, so, I came here hoping
to get these fixed...
**[06:13] ---**
Sure.
**[06:20] ---**
Can you wait a sec?
**[06:22] ---**
My dad knows way more about
doing repairs than I do.
**[06:26] ---**
So I'm gonna go and get him.
**[06:30] ---**
Ouch!
**[06:32] ---**
U-uh oh, I'm starting to
sense a pattern here...
**[06:39] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[06:40] ---**
It seems like my dad is
away for the time being.
**[06:43] ---**
Would you mind just leaving
your shoes here with us?
**[06:46] ---**
Okay.
**[06:51] ---**
But even from an amateur
perspective like mine...
**[06:54] ---**
I can tell you might be better
off with an entirely new pair.
**[06:58] ---**
These days there are a bunch
of different models on the market.
**[07:01] ---**
You can easily get a decent
pair for under 10,000 yen.
**[07:03] ---**
That's okay.
**[07:06] ---**
These are... the only pair I need!
**[07:14] ---**
I understand!
**[07:16] ---**
I'll take on the responsibility
and make sure they get fixed!
**[07:20] ---**
Ouch...!
**[07:22] ---**
Um... I think I'd prefer
your dad handled them...
**[07:25] ---**
R-right.
**[07:27] ---**
Oh, but...
**[07:28] ---**
Do you mind,
**[07:30] ---**
if I gave you just one piece of advice?
**[07:33] ---**
You should at least change the insoles.
**[07:39] ---**
Your play style is more focused on speed
than power, Kurumatani.
**[07:44] ---**
So, it would be best if you could raise the ankle height
to make it more compatible with your quickness.
**[07:54] ---**
They sell a lot of that type
of basketball shoe now,
**[07:57] ---**
but if you'd prefer to keep
the ones you have currently,
**[08:00] ---**
then there are a few ways
you can customize them for the better.
**[08:03] ---**
Wow, that's neat.
**[08:04] ---**
I didn't know they had stuff like this.
**[08:06] ---**
But wait, how did you know
that my play style focuses on speed?
**[08:11] ---**
Well, that's really simple.
**[08:14] ---**
Your looks say it all!
**[08:16] ---**
Oh... yeah...
**[08:19] ---**
Okay then, we'll take
good care of your shoes.
**[08:22] ---**
I think it will take about 10 days for us
to make the repairs...
**[08:25] ---**
Huh? 10 whole days?!
**[08:28] ---**
In the meantime, I'll let you borrow
the pair that I always use.
**[08:34] ---**
Wow, a perfect fit. Thanks...
**[08:38] ---**
It just kills me that girls' shoes
are always the right size...
**[08:42] ---**
Just one more thing... I owe you an apology.
**[08:44] ---**
Huh? For what?
**[08:46] ---**
I lied to you about something I said earlier.
**[08:49] ---**
You lied?
**[08:50] ---**
The truth is I was there in the gym,
watching your match with Maru High.
**[08:55] ---**
You were so cool, Kurumatani!
**[09:11] ---**
Do your best out on the court! Goodnight!
**[09:16] ---**
G-goodnight...
**[09:27] ---**
Is this for real?!
**[09:28] ---**
Does that girl have the hots for me or what?!
**[09:32] ---**
No, no, wait a second. Thinking I'm cool
doesn't instantly mean she likes me.
**[09:35] ---**
I'm too inexperienced to be
jumping to conclusions, anyway.
**[09:37] ---**
But then, why was she getting all blushy?!
I saw the red in her cheeks!
**[09:42] ---**
Actually, the real problem is...
**[09:44] ---**
...how am I supposed to choose
between her and Madoka?!
**[09:52] ---**
Hey, Granny...
**[09:53] ---**
What's wrong?
**[09:54] ---**
Can you tell me what "love" really is?
**[09:57] ---**
Stop acting like such a ninny!
Take a bath and get to bed already!
**[10:32] ---**
I can't sleep...
**[10:37] ---**
Tomorrow... or I guess it's today now,
we're supposed to have a school assembly.
**[10:44] ---**
I'll just go late...
**[10:58] ---**
I'm sorry! I was asleep all day!
**[11:02] ---**
You're late, Kurumatani.
**[11:05] ---**
It's already past the time
for practice to start!
**[11:09] ---**
Huh?
**[11:10] ---**
Okay, guys! Let's put our
best into practice today!
**[11:14] ---**
Yeah!
**[11:15] ---**
First, we start with proper warm-ups!
**[11:20] ---**
What's gotten into Chiaki and the others?
**[11:23] ---**
Well, just take a look.
**[11:25] ---**
Huh?
**[11:42] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[11:45] ---**
Hey, Kurumatani!
**[11:47] ---**
WHAAAAT?!
**[11:53] ---**
I'm Nao Nanao! From class 1-3!
**[11:56] ---**
I'm 144 centimeters tall,
and I weigh 36 kilograms!
**[12:00] ---**
I'm a Pisces with a B blood type.
And I love green tea pudding!
**[12:04] ---**
Although I may not be the best manager,
I will do my utmost to support the team!
**[12:08] ---**
I hope we can get along!
**[12:10] ---**
Nanao is... going to be our manager?
**[12:13] ---**
She's so tiny!
**[12:14] ---**
But super cute.
**[12:16] ---**
Th-thank God I chose to
be on the basketball team!
**[12:20] ---**
Oh my... she's just like a baby chick.
**[12:24] ---**
If you're sharing, I'd love to hear
your body measurements...
**[12:26] ---**
Sure! From the top, 71, 5-
**[12:29] ---**
Stop! Stop!
**[12:30] ---**
Don't ask sleazy questions like those!
**[12:31] ---**
And don't answer them!
**[12:34] ---**
Why pick us?
**[12:35] ---**
Huh?
**[12:36] ---**
There's plenty of other
teams looking for a manager.
**[12:39] ---**
So why basketball?
**[12:40] ---**
M-my reason is...
**[12:45] ---**
Be...
**[12:48] ---**
Because I like basketball.
**[12:53] ---**
She looked at me!
**[12:54] ---**
And...
**[12:55] ---**
SHE WAS BLUSHING!
**[13:11] ---**
Is it a sign? It has to be!
**[13:14] ---**
The path to happiness has
finally opened to me!
**[13:16] ---**
THIS IS IT!
**[13:20] ---**
What's going on with him?
**[13:22] ---**
Just ignore it.
**[13:24] ---**
He flips out like that a few times a year.
**[13:27] ---**
Say, Kurumatani?
**[13:30] ---**
This morning...
**[13:32] ---**
...why didn't you show up
to the school assembly?
**[13:36] ---**
Did you get sick all of a sudden?
**[13:38] ---**
U-uh, no, actually... I'm going through
a phase of puberty or something like that...
**[13:43] ---**
So I was just asleep the whole day...
**[13:46] ---**
Kurumatani.
**[13:48] ---**
You skipped every class today,
yet still showed up for practice.
**[13:51] ---**
Consequences must not scare you.
**[13:53] ---**
Uh, I'm sorry!
**[13:55] ---**
I'm assuming that you have a VERY
convincing reason for all of this, Kurumatani.
**[13:58] ---**
Huh? Th-the reason...?
**[13:59] ---**
Let's hear it, Kurumatani.
**[14:01] ---**
Well, you see...
**[14:02] ---**
Let's do this!
**[14:05] ---**
I'm on fire today!
**[14:06] ---**
Yasu!
**[14:08] ---**
Shit!
**[14:13] ---**
Wow!
**[14:17] ---**
Learn to shoot!
**[14:18] ---**
A-amazing.
**[14:20] ---**
I couldn't tell how he managed
to get that pass through the defense!
**[14:26] ---**
What are you doing? It's
time to switch sides!
**[14:30] ---**
I'm too sweaty now.
**[14:31] ---**
But we just started practice a minute ago!
**[14:37] ---**
Rebound!
**[14:46] ---**
Wow! That's awesome!
**[14:48] ---**
You jump so high! Just like in the NBA!
**[14:52] ---**
Of course. That's how we roll.
**[14:54] ---**
You're turning into somebody else, Momoharu.
**[15:01] ---**
I'm not letting you get away, dammit!
**[15:11] ---**
He's fast! And smooth!
**[15:13] ---**
He was pulling so many moves in mid-air!
**[15:18] ---**
I think he might be kind of cool.
**[15:20] ---**
Huh?!
**[15:21] ---**
That's not the reaction that we got!
**[16:00] ---**
What're you so enraptured by?
**[16:06] ---**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[16:09] ---**
Are you okay?
**[16:12] ---**
Oh, hey, Madoka!
**[16:14] ---**
Long time no see.
**[16:17] ---**
Yay!
**[16:18] ---**
I've missed you so much!
**[16:23] ---**
You're just as tiny as ever, Nao.
**[16:25] ---**
Never mind me, you've become even more beautiful
since the last time I saw you!
**[16:30] ---**
Wish that were me... So lucky.
**[16:32] ---**
What's the deal? You old friends?
**[16:34] ---**
Oh, yeah.
**[16:36] ---**
Since back in middle school.
**[16:37] ---**
She was the manager for
the team that I was on.
**[16:42] ---**
I owe you so much for all the help
you gave me back then.
**[16:45] ---**
Oh, no problem. Same goes for me.
**[16:48] ---**
What's up with this weird vibe?
**[16:52] ---**
Here!
**[16:56] ---**
Stop! Stop!
**[16:58] ---**
No more! That's enough!
**[16:59] ---**
Your reaction time after receiving
a pass is way too slow.
**[17:01] ---**
If you get the ball when you're in shooting range,
the first thing you should do is look at the basket.
**[17:05] ---**
Even just a quick glance is okay.
**[17:06] ---**
Oh, I get it. We're doing
it to fake them out, right?
**[17:09] ---**
Nah. It's to show the defense
that you're serious about trying to score.
**[17:13] ---**
Oh! That makes sense.
**[17:15] ---**
Sometimes it does lead
to you faking them out.
**[17:17] ---**
Just don't forget to do it, okay?
**[17:20] ---**
Okay, roger that.
**[17:22] ---**
That's great advice, Kite!
**[17:23] ---**
I see. You're going to be the
manager for the boys' team.
**[17:24] ---**
He's right! No matter what the circumstance,
it's important to always lay on pressure!
**[17:26] ---**
So, how are they?
**[17:28] ---**
Okay! Let's keep that in mind and try one more time!
**[17:28] ---**
Now that you've seen them in action,
what are your thoughts?
**[17:30] ---**
W-well... everyone on the team is amazing.
**[17:34] ---**
I don't think there are many teams out there
with players of this caliber!
**[17:38] ---**
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?!
**[17:40] ---**
Please take practice more seriously!
**[17:42] ---**
Although...
**[17:45] ---**
I don't think this team stands
any chance of winning actual games.
**[17:50] ---**
Huh?
**[17:51] ---**
Uh, do you think there's
something holding them back?
**[17:55] ---**
Well, yes.
**[17:56] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[17:58] ---**
What makes you such a prophet
after watching us practice for 5 minutes?
**[18:01] ---**
You think you know this game
better than we do, girly?
**[18:03] ---**
If that's what she thinks,
then there's no mistake.
**[18:06] ---**
Huh?
**[18:08] ---**
I can guarantee that personally.
**[18:13] ---**
If you'd like, we can even
prove it with a game.
**[18:15] ---**
You can play against our girls' team.
**[18:17] ---**
What?!
**[18:18] ---**
Why?!
**[18:20] ---**
A game against the girls' basketball team...?
**[18:22] ---**
Hold on, Madoka!
**[18:23] ---**
Why on Earth would we ever agree
to put ourselves through that?!
**[18:27] ---**
Why not? I don't see the problem with it.
**[18:29] ---**
Oh, come on! Just take one
good look at those guys!
**[18:32] ---**
You know they'd foul us
just to grab our butts and chests!
**[18:35] ---**
It wouldn't take them much to knock us down
and then who knows what would happen!
**[18:39] ---**
Hm. That's a rather brilliant strategy.
**[18:42] ---**
No, it's really not.
**[18:43] ---**
To be honest, I've been wanting
to go up against them for a while now.
**[18:47] ---**
I mean, don't you ever get tired
of practicing the same stuff every day?
**[18:51] ---**
We should take a break to play sometimes!
**[18:53] ---**
But we just played an official
game not too long ago...
**[18:56] ---**
Oh yeah.
**[18:57] ---**
That reminds me. How did your team do
in the tournament prelims...?
**[19:01] ---**
We totally lost. In the very first round.
**[19:05] ---**
This is a waste of time.
**[19:07] ---**
It's not worth the effort to play against a girls'
team that can't even put up a fight.
**[19:13] ---**
I never said that this match
has to be win or lose.
**[19:16] ---**
Huh?
**[19:17] ---**
It's a good opportunity for you to test your skills
and find out if Nao's assessment is accurate or not.
**[19:23] ---**
You don't even have to bother
with winning or losing.
**[19:27] ---**
That's all the more reason not to.
**[19:30] ---**
None of us are interested
in playing a game that has no stakes.
**[19:34] ---**
Especially since we'd be playing
against a bunch of girls.
**[19:37] ---**
I just can't bring myself
to take it seriously.
**[19:39] ---**
It would just be a waste of time.
**[19:41] ---**
You said it.
**[19:43] ---**
However!
**[19:45] ---**
Well, we could be convinced.
**[19:47] ---**
If the girls agree to strip naked when we win,
then I think we could find the motivation!
**[19:52] ---**
Gotta put a carrot on the stick, so to speak!
**[19:57] ---**
Isn't that even more of a waste of time
than normal practice?
**[20:00] ---**
Very well, then.
**[20:02] ---**
That's fine.
**[20:05] ---**
O..oh-ho?
**[20:07] ---**
All the loser has to do is strip down
to the nude, is that right?
**[20:09] ---**
W-w-wait a second! What are you saying?!
**[20:12] ---**
Then we're all agreed.
**[20:15] ---**
Madoka will be the one to do it.
**[20:17] ---**
What?
**[20:27] ---**
Then we'll play! Without holding back!
**[20:29] ---**
Okay!
**[20:30] ---**
All right!
**[20:31] ---**
Hi-yah!
**[20:31] ---**
Wa-tah!
**[20:35] ---**
They're already in position to play!
**[20:38] ---**
Hold up, Nao. Why's it gotta be me?
**[20:41] ---**
Oh well, I thought that you were the one
pushing to have a game against them, Madoka!
**[20:46] ---**
Don't worry.
**[20:48] ---**
Just leave it all to me!
**[20:50] ---**
Owie!
**[20:52] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[20:53] ---**
I'm just not comfortable leaving
my whole future in your hands.
**[20:57] ---**
Ow... ow... ouchies...
**[20:59] ---**
Hold on, Momoharu!
**[21:00] ---**
You're their captain,
so say something to calm them down!
**[21:19] ---**
The hell was that?! What is happening?!
**[21:22] ---**
Well, there's no turning back now.
**[21:24] ---**
All we can do at this point
is put everything we have into winning.
**[21:29] ---**
You guys...!
**[21:31] ---**
But in exchange...
**[21:32] ---**
...this is all on you if we lose.
**[21:52] ---**
Um, okay then.
**[21:54] ---**
Starting now, the game between the boys' and girls'
basketball teams will officially begin!
**[21:58] ---**
ALL RIGHT!
