[00:06] ---
Hello? Is that you, Chiba?
[00:08] ---
Huh? A movie?
[00:10] ---
Sorry, I've got plans to hit up
a recording studio with some friends.
[00:14] ---
Huh? But it's our day off.
We're free to do whatever, aren't we?
[00:19] ---
Besides, only couples go
to movies alone together.
[00:22] ---
I'm gonna hang up now.
[00:25] ---
Good grief, Chiba really needs
to get a girlfriend to go to the movies with.
[00:30] ---
All right. It's time to show
Naopei just how awesome I am.
[00:35] ---
Yo! If it isn't, Kabachi.
[00:37] ---
What are you doing out here?
[00:38] ---
Huh? Tokiwa?!
[00:40] ---
Headed to practice?
[00:42] ---
That's weird, most teams usually take
the last day of Golden Week off.
[00:45] ---
So why aren't you guys doing the same?
[00:48] ---
M-mind your own business!
Not everybody has it as easy as you!
[00:51] ---
That flippant attitude of yours
really gets under my skin!
[00:54] ---
I know we lost to your
team in the last tourney,
[00:56] ---
but my I scored way more
points than you overall.
[00:59] ---
Don't get too cocky.
[01:00] ---
Well yeah, I'm a point guard.
[01:02] ---
Oh, and by the way, I managed to pull off
a triple-double in that match.
[01:08] ---
For points, assists, and
steals, if I remember right.
[01:11] ---
So tell me, why are you guys headed this way?
[01:14] ---
Let me guess, is it a practice match?
[01:19] ---
A practice match with Kuzu High?
[01:21] ---
Really? Kuzu High, huh?
[01:23] ---
What's your problem?!
[01:25] ---
Don't look down on us
like we've fallen from grace or something!
[01:27] ---
I swear, you're one of
the rudest jerks I know!
[01:30] ---
We're just going for kicks
and giggles, that's all.
[01:32] ---
You know there's no way I'd get serious
against trash like Kuzu High.
[01:36] ---
Uh-huh, sure.
[01:37] ---
QUIT GIVING ME THAT LOOK, DAMMIT!
[01:39] ---
Taro always blows his top at guys
who have better looks than him, huh?
[01:43] ---
Well, there is some truth
to what he was saying.
[01:46] ---
I don't think we'll need to put too much effort
into this game against Kuzu High.
[01:50] ---
Oh, I just remembered, Konishi.
[01:52] ---
Don't you have a relative
who's getting married today?
[01:54] ---
You should've just taken
the day off and went.
[01:57] ---
It's fine.
[01:59] ---
I've actually been looking
forward to playing Kuzu High.

[03:39] ---
I'm sorry that it took so long.
[03:41] ---
I told you they'd be ready in time for the game,
but this is cutting it super close.
[03:45] ---
This is awesome! They're as good as new!
[03:48] ---
And I can't believe how clean they are now!
[03:50] ---
Yeah, we gave them a thorough cleaning.
[03:53] ---
But maybe that was going too far.
[03:55] ---
No way! This is great!
[03:57] ---
Now I won't get a hard
time for how they look!
[03:59] ---
Great, I'm glad to hear it.
[04:01] ---
So, you don't need mine anymore, right?
[04:03] ---
Oh, yeah.
[04:10] ---
Uh, can you wait just a sec?
[04:12] ---
Sorry, Nanao. Would you mind if I used those
for just one more day?
[04:17] ---
Huh? But we finally fixed up your old ones...
[04:20] ---
Yeah, but yours were really comfy to wear.
[04:23] ---
And more importantly,
[04:24] ---
I went through our whole training camp alongside
those shoes, so I want to use them until the end!
[04:31] ---
Kurumatani...
[04:33] ---
Are you sure?
[04:34] ---
Of course, as long as you're fine with it.
[04:37] ---
Okay, then please feel free to use them.
[04:40] ---
Uh, right, thanks very much.
[04:43] ---
What are you two even doing?
[04:45] ---
Kitasumi High is here!
[04:49] ---
Yo. Sorry to keep you guys waiting.
[04:54] ---
Wait, is that Tokiwa? But why?
[04:56] ---
Hey.
[04:58] ---
Why the hell did you tag along?!
[05:00] ---
Just felt like it.
[05:01] ---
Salt
[05:01] ---
Be gone, demon! Be gone!
[05:03] ---
Oh come on, let me be a spectator.
[05:06] ---
I promise that I won't get in the way.
[05:07] ---
Your mere presence causes enough problems
by taking everyone's eyes off of me!
[05:11] ---
So just get lost!
[05:12] ---
Seriously?
[05:13] ---
Don't be so mean, I ditched my band practice
just so I could come.
[05:16] ---
Hello again, Hanazono. It's been a long time.
[05:19] ---
Isn't that Konishi?
[05:21] ---
Huh? I don't think I know this guy.
[05:23] ---
Back in middle school,
he was a grade below us.
[05:26] ---
That weird kid who was always
tagging along with us.
[05:28] ---
Oh! Lil' Koni!
[05:31] ---
But damn, you must've
really hit a growth spurt.
[05:34] ---
How tall are you now?
[05:35] ---
196 centimeters, if you can believe it.
[05:38] ---
Oh yeah? So, I guess you kept
playing basketball, huh?
[05:41] ---
Yes. Thanks to your help.
[05:43] ---
Thanks to us? I don't even
remember doing anything.
[05:46] ---
I used to join you both
during your extended practice sessions at night.
[05:50] ---
Back then, I had no basketball
skills to speak of...
[05:54] ---
Momoharu would often take time
to teach me a variety of things.
[05:57] ---
And what about me?
[05:58] ---
Well Chiaki, you would always have me
fetch your snacks... and pay for them.
[06:03] ---
Goddammit, Chikai...
[06:06] ---
After you two left the team, most everybody else
just stopped taking the game seriously.
[06:11] ---
It was depressing.
[06:13] ---
But actually, from then until now,
I've never skipped a day of practice!
[06:19] ---
Wow, you're a real workaholic!
[06:21] ---
Nice, man. Keep it up.
[06:23] ---
Y-yes, sir!
[06:27] ---
Senpai...
[06:28] ---
Huh?
[06:29] ---
Basketball isn't some merciful sport
that you can just crawl back to...
[06:33] ---
...after you made the choice to drop out.
[06:35] ---
What?!
[06:38] ---
Say that again, punk.
[06:40] ---
Stop it, Momoharu.
This time to my face!
[06:42] ---
If you want to prove him wrong,
then do it out on the court.
[06:46] ---
Okay, then, please use this as a locker room.
[06:49] ---
If there's anything you need help with,
please feel free to ask.
[06:53] ---
She's a... major cutie!
[06:56] ---
You know, girls like her always
make the best managers!
[07:00] ---
Actually, it seems that she's
a member of the girls' team here.
[07:02] ---
Yeah, we already know their manager.
[07:04] ---
Isn't it supposed to be Taro's cousin?
[07:06] ---
Huh?
[07:07] ---
Speaking of, where'd he run off to?
[07:15] ---
I want to use them until the end!
[07:21] ---
What are you sitting here
hugging your shoes for?
[07:23] ---
Ouch!
[07:27] ---
Wait, I don't remember you
using shoes like those.
[07:29] ---
Uh, yeah, these are actually...
[07:32] ---
Whatever.
[07:34] ---
Anyway, I just wanted to make sure
you haven't forgotten our promise.
[07:37] ---
What promise?
[07:39] ---
Oh, don't be coy. We made a promise to go
to the amusement park together, right?
[07:43] ---
Yeah, but that was only if I found the time.
[07:45] ---
Oh please, you gave me that same line
during spring vacation.
[07:49] ---
Besides, places like that are usually for dates
and we're cousins.
[07:52] ---
It doesn't matter if we're cousins.
[07:55] ---
I am.... dead serious
about my feelings for you!
[08:01] ---
Stop being weird and giving
me that look, you jerk!
[08:03] ---
It's creeping me out!
[08:04] ---
She's so adorable.
[08:06] ---
Oh, there you are! Hey, Nanao!
I've been looking for you.
[08:10] ---
What is it?
[08:11] ---
Mr. Satsuki needs you.
[08:13] ---
The coach for the other
team came to greet us.
[08:14] ---
That's the shorty from before...
[08:17] ---
I recognize those shoes!
[08:30] ---
Whoa, what are they doing?
[08:32] ---
Looks like a circus performance.
[08:34] ---
That's a tip drill.
[08:36] ---
Anybody can do it with some simple practice.
[08:38] ---
They're so organized.
[08:40] ---
Yo, have you guys improved a bit?
[08:42] ---
Hey, Tokiwa.
[08:43] ---
We have!
[08:45] ---
I think if we played your team at Maru High again,
things would turn out differently!
[08:48] ---
I welcome the challenge.
[08:51] ---
Just so you know, the team that you're facing today
is strong in their own right.
[08:54] ---
So I've heard.
[08:55] ---
Their match against you guys
went all the way to overtime.
[08:58] ---
Our team's roster is heavily
comprised of seniors.
[09:01] ---
But Kitasumi relies more
upon freshman and sophomore players,
[09:04] ---
which means they're only
going to get stronger.
[09:06] ---
It's hard to say that we could win a second time
if we had to face them again.
[09:10] ---
And above all...
[09:11] ---
...he's the player you really
need to be careful of.
[09:15] ---
He may not exactly look it,
but his talent for basketball is top-tier.
[09:19] ---
Especially when it comes to points,
he's always the one who scores the most.
[09:24] ---
To be frank, I don't think I stand a chance
against him in a one-on-one.
[09:27] ---
Even you, Tokiwa?
[09:29] ---
In fact, that guy alone managed
to score 50 points against our team.
[09:33] ---
I imagine what will decide the outcome of this game
is whether you can stop him or not.
[09:37] ---
50 points...
[09:39] ---
Oops, sorry about that.
[09:43] ---
I'm hyped to play against
someone so impressive!
[09:46] ---
Here.
[09:47] ---
I thought I'd let this be a
learning experience for you.
[09:50] ---
But it turns out, I'm going
to have to bring my A-game.
[09:52] ---
Huh?
[09:59] ---
Listen up, squirt! You're
not on anybody's radar!
[10:02] ---
The only winner here is me!
[10:07] ---
I'm not gonna lose!
[10:09] ---
I'm really feeling it now, you know?
[10:11] ---
This is so much more nerve wracking
than our Maru High match.
[10:13] ---
You said it!
[10:14] ---
That's fine and all, but please tell me you guys
actually memorized the damn rules this time.
[10:18] ---
Dude, I've got them all down pat!
[10:21] ---
We're not allowed to move
while holding the ball.
[10:23] ---
We're not allowed to do
any punching or kicking.
[10:25] ---
And, uh, what else was there?
[10:27] ---
Perfect, just how I like it.
[10:30] ---
Well, that's a surprise. The other team
isn't wearing any uniforms at all.
[10:34] ---
All right then, boys. I suppose you don't have
to bother wearing your uniforms, either.
[10:38] ---
Huh? Are you sure about that, coach?
[10:40] ---
It makes us look silly
if we're the only ones going all out, right?
[10:42] ---
Let's just get this over
with and head home. Okay?
[10:45] ---
If you're going to be such a wet blanket,
then why did you even accept this match?
[10:49] ---
Cut me some slack, Taro said he was going to quit
if I didn't go through with it.
[10:53] ---
You guys wouldn't be happy
if Taro just left the team, right?
[10:57] ---
Anyway, take a look at that.
[11:01] ---
Oh jeez, there's always at least one fool
who loves pretending that he's in the NBA.
[11:06] ---
And despite how they may look,
they always totally suck. Without fail.
[11:09] ---
I mean, come on, are we supposed
to believe he's got a tattoo or somet-?
[11:12] ---
GREASED
LIGHTNING
[11:17] ---
Uh, hello. What's up, Juri?
[11:19] ---
Sorry, do you mind calling
me back a little later?
[11:22] ---
I've got really important plans right now.
[11:29] ---
Basketball isn't some merciful sport
that you can just crawl back to...
[11:33] ---
...after you made the choice to drop out.
[11:36] ---
Damn cocky punk.
[11:38] ---
Just you wait, I gonna
make you eat those words!
[11:42] ---
I love you. Please go out with me.
[11:45] ---
Huh?
[11:46] ---
Oops, that came out wrong!
I was trying to say, "I'm gonna do my best!"
[11:50] ---
You can just forget all about
that other thing I said, okay?
[11:54] ---
Like really, don't worry your
pretty little head about it.
[11:56] ---
Seriously, for real, you don't
need to even think it over!
[12:00] ---
Enough blabbering! Just get out there!
[12:01] ---
All right, I need to put my heart into this.
[12:04] ---
For the sake of love.
[12:06] ---
Hey Kurumatani!
[12:07] ---
It's time to line up, hurry!
[12:09] ---
Oh, sorry! I'm coming!
[12:13] ---
Kurumatani.
[12:15] ---
You can do it!
[12:17] ---
Totally! Just you watch!
[12:20] ---
Okay, everyone. We will now begin the match!
[12:23] ---
I need all players to come
to the center circle!
[12:36] ---
Kanagawa School of Medical Science
Secondary Hospital
[12:37] ---
Say, Ms. Yabuuchi?
[12:40] ---
Yes?
[12:42] ---
Do you think I could get permission
to leave here just for a bit?
[12:45] ---
You already know that's impossible.
The doctor made that crystal clear, no?
[12:49] ---
That's why I'm asking
you. It'll be our secret.
[12:51] ---
I promise to keep my mouth shut, okay?
[12:54] ---
If I agreed to something like
that I'd be fired immediately!
[12:58] ---
Is there something special
that you have going on today?
[13:00] ---
Uh... well, not really.
[13:03] ---
It's nothing much, but even so.
[13:08] ---
I've got a game starting now...
gonna win for sure.
[13:15] ---
Get moving!
[13:16] ---
All right!
[13:22] ---
Whoa, so high!
[13:24] ---
How do you like them apples?!
[13:28] ---
Kuzu High #4! Jump ball violation!
[13:31] ---
Huh?!
[13:32] ---
Momoharu...
[13:33] ---
Hold up, what even makes that a foul?
[13:36] ---
It was a violation, not a foul.
[13:38] ---
The ball must reach the apex of its toss
on a jump ball before anybody can touch it.
[13:46] ---
Forget about it! We've
only just gotten started!
[13:48] ---
Keep your heads in the game!
[13:52] ---
Gah! They just scored one
on us like it was nothing!
[13:54] ---
Sorry, guys!
[13:55] ---
You have to keep a closer
eye on the other team!
[13:57] ---
That was a perfect play. We
knew this wouldn't be easy.
[14:00] ---
They're really good.
[14:01] ---
Do we actually stand a chance against them?
[14:04] ---
You can do it, guys! Just remember
everything that we practiced!
[14:07] ---
Oh, right!
[14:10] ---
It's our first possession,
let's take it slow.
[14:15] ---
A man-to-man defense from half-court, eh?
[14:25] ---
Incredible!
[14:26] ---
Not only did he anticipate
#11 throwing off the defense,
[14:29] ---
but also that #4's movements would create
the perfect blind spot to get a pass through.
[14:34] ---
It bounced!
[14:35] ---
You damn klutz!
[14:36] ---
That pass came at me way too hard,
learn how to hold back a little!
[14:41] ---
Don't let him shoot, Konishi!
[14:42] ---
On it!
[14:44] ---
Yes! I blocked him!
[14:52] ---
He pulled a double clutch
from that position?!
[14:55] ---
It looked like he was already halfway
behind the backboard!
[14:58] ---
I don't believe it...
[14:59] ---
So, they found a new forward?
[15:01] ---
He's got a great feel for the game.
[15:03] ---
It's more than just their point guard,
the entire team has improved their offense.
[15:08] ---
It's crazy to think they were essentially
just a team of amateurs until recently.
[15:18] ---
Sweet! Another basket for us!
[15:21] ---
A steal!
[15:22] ---
What was that, Katori?!
[15:24] ---
You're doing a pretty
solid job out there, Kite.
[15:27] ---
Remind me to pay you later.
[15:28] ---
For real?
[15:29] ---
Hold up! I just know you're gonna steal it
from my piggy bank again!
[15:33] ---
Their center has a lot of jump height!
Don't let him in the paint!
[15:36] ---
Keep your eyes on #11 for sure!
Don't let him shake you off!
[15:44] ---
That sign means...
[15:48] ---
Setting up the Nabe Screen!
[15:51] ---
Taro! You've got a screen behind you!
[15:52] ---
Say what?
[15:53] ---
Hmph, too easy.
[15:55] ---
It'll take a lot more
than that to shake me...
[15:58] ---
He nailed it!
[15:59] ---
Nice one, Nabe!
[16:00] ---
Oh? They've really gotten
themselves into good shape.
[16:03] ---
Switch!
[16:04] ---
Idiots. We're not gonna let such an obvious screen
get the better of us.
[16:09] ---
He's fast!
[16:14] ---
I guess he wasn't just
bragging when he said things
[16:16] ---
would turn out differently
if we played again.
[16:23] ---
It seems that Kabachi has the right idea.
[16:25] ---
None of us can afford to be
taking it easy right now.
[16:30] ---
Sakata, call us a timeout. Right now.
[16:33] ---
Huh? But the game has barely started, sir!
[16:35] ---
I know, it's fine.
[16:39] ---
Timeout by Kitasumi High!
[16:42] ---
What's the deal, coach?
[16:44] ---
You realize we're barely a
minute into the game, right?
[16:46] ---
Boys, go and put your uniforms back on.
[16:50] ---
I'm benching our starting lineup
so you can all redo your warm-ups.
[16:53] ---
We won't... hold anything back.
[16:57] ---
You're sure slow on the uptake, gramps.
[17:00] ---
The coach should be the last one
to need a damn pep talk.
[17:06] ---
We were ready to put everything
into this game from the very start!
[17:11] ---
My apologies. I will admit this was a failure
on my part as your coach.
[17:14] ---
I never expected to be
bushwhacked so close to home.
[17:17] ---
If we don't strike while the iron is hot,
it may come back to bite us.
[17:21] ---
We'll start with man-to-man
and see how our opponent reacts.
[17:24] ---
Everyone make sure you know
who you're supposed to be guarding.
[17:26] ---
I'm on #10!
[17:28] ---
I've got #6.
[17:29] ---
None of the Kitasumi players are specialized
3-point shooters like Kurumatani,
[17:33] ---
so we can afford to ease
up our defense a little.
[17:36] ---
But please be wary of #7 in
any and all circumstances.
[17:38] ---
He won't hesitate to try and score
from both long and short range.
[17:42] ---
We have shut him down before
he finds his sweet spot.
[17:46] ---
#7... That's who I'm guarding...
[17:50] ---
The timeout has now ended!
[17:52] ---
Okay! Let's really get this party started!
[18:00] ---
They've gotten serious about this.
[18:02] ---
Which means everything before
was just a simple warm-up, huh?
[18:05] ---
Kitsumiyoshi | Kuzuryu
[18:06] ---
Kitasumi ball! Throw-in!
[18:08] ---
Nabe, stay on #10 as best you can!
[18:11] ---
Deny them any passes!
[18:12] ---
And make sure you stay alert for screens!
[18:15] ---
I've got #7 all covered!
[18:17] ---
So you're my defender, eh?
[18:19] ---
Never thought I'd get matched
up with such a shorty.
[18:22] ---
You'll regret underestimating me.
[18:24] ---
Oh please, you're the shortest one
on your entire team, Kabachi.
[18:27] ---
That's enough of the pot
calling the kettle black!
[18:29] ---
What irks me more are those shoes!
[18:32] ---
My shoes?
[18:34] ---
Yeah, I remember them from a year ago...
[18:37] ---
Hey, I recognize those. They're
a limited-edition color.
[18:40] ---
Yeah, but I'm worried that
they look tacky on me.
[18:44] ---
Why worry about that? I think
they look just fine on you.
[18:47] ---
Really?!
[18:49] ---
That makes me happy! Thanks!
[18:52] ---
KAPOW!
[18:53] ---
Up until then, she had just been
one of my childish cousins.
[18:56] ---
But after that moment,
she became a woman inside my heart.
[19:00] ---
Taro! You're holding onto
the ball for too long!
[19:02] ---
The shot clock will run out!
[19:04] ---
I consider those shoes a gift from an angel above,
who led me to true love!
[19:08] ---
And now this little bastard...
[19:10] ---
...has his dirty feet all over them!
[19:13] ---
I'll win them back.
[19:14] ---
And rekindle the memories of our love!
[19:17] ---
Awesome! A between-the-legs dribble!
[19:23] ---
Between-the-legs into a spin.
[19:25] ---
It's the same move he used before!
[19:27] ---
No, wait!
[19:32] ---
He's gonna charge in! Don't let him through!
[19:36] ---
He went straight for a jump shot?!
[19:41] ---
And boom goes the dynamite!
[19:44] ---
24-second violation!
[19:46] ---
The basket doesn't count!
[19:48] ---
What?! No way!
[19:49] ---
Are you sure I just didn't barely make it?!
[19:51] ---
Ugh, I was so close! Dammit!
[19:54] ---
Quit yapping so much.
[19:55] ---
Am I crazy, or did he just
blow a kiss to somebody?
[19:58] ---
If he hadn't wasted time, that
shot would have counted...
[20:01] ---
No kidding, one of those spins
was totally unnecessary...
[20:05] ---
Play with style.
[20:06] ---
That's my motto, you know!
[20:10] ---
That was a really clean cut to the middle.
[20:12] ---
Not to mention that he actually looked away
from the basket, but still sunk the shot.
[20:17] ---
I guess he's not just the
idiot he seems to be.
[20:19] ---
He's good.
[20:21] ---
Uh-oh.
[20:22] ---
Sorry, that came up short!
[20:24] ---
Rebound!
[20:27] ---
Glad to see you're pulling
your weight, Senpai!
[20:29] ---
Oh, shut up!
[20:31] ---
Nice one, Kite!
[20:31] ---
Kitsumiyoshi | Kuzuryu
[20:32] ---
That puts us ahead by 5!
[20:34] ---
Yo. What's the matter, Konishi?
[20:36] ---
You were talking tough shit before,
but you've hardly done anything on the court.
[20:43] ---
Go for it! Kitasumi for the win!
[20:45] ---
We need to shore up our
defense in the middle!
[20:47] ---
Taro, don't do anything stupid this time!
[20:52] ---
I won't let him past me this time.
[20:54] ---
I didn't do all that defense
practice for nothing!
[20:56] ---
It doesn't matter how
much height he has on me!
[21:01] ---
You dumbass! She told us
to expect shots from long range!
[21:04] ---
Momoharu, get the rebound!
[21:05] ---
Shit, you guys are running me ragged!
[21:10] ---
He boxed him out!
[21:12] ---
This bastard!
[21:13] ---
I can't even make him budge!
[21:16] ---
The one who taught me how to do this...
was you, Momoharu.
[21:20] ---
Loose ball!
[21:21] ---
What the hell?!
[21:22] ---
You had one job, Momoharu!
[21:25] ---
Not happening!
[21:28] ---
Crap... he waited to shoot...!
[21:36] ---
That little snot... he took his sweet time
to get the foul call!
[21:40] ---
Defensive foul on #7!
[21:41] ---
The basket counts! One free-throw!
[21:44] ---
Holy crap...
[21:45] ---
So, uh, that dude is starting
to seem kind of badass.
[21:56] ---
He's more than he seems.
[21:58] ---
This guy is... the real deal!
