[00:06] ---
    He backed off?
[00:10] ---
    A jump shot?! From here?!
[00:19] ---
    A Duck-in!
[00:19] ---
    So low!
[00:21] ---
    That wasn't any ordinary Duck-in.
[00:23] ---
    This kid...
[00:26] ---
    ...he just dove straight under!
[00:42] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[00:43] ---
    Oopsies. Is kicking against the rules?
[00:45] ---
    Are you okay?!
    Obviously! Everybody knows that!
[00:46] ---
    Obviously! Everybody knows that!
[00:49] ---
    Well, rules, schmules.
    The fact is, he didn't make a basket.
[00:52] ---
    That means we're the winners.
[00:54] ---
    H-huh? Wait, stop right there!
[00:57] ---
    I'm talking to you! Hey! Wai-
[00:59] ---
    Blah, blah, blah. Whatever, we're done here.
[01:02] ---
    Now that that's settled, let's
    go grab something to eat.
[01:11] ---
    Calling it quits here is weak sauce.
[01:15] ---
    We're making this match a best out of 10.

    These are...
[03:04] ---
    ...my wings!
[03:10] ---
    He's got the wings of a duck...
[03:13] ---
    ...a flightless bird, huh?
[03:18] ---
    Yabuuchi.
[03:20] ---
    Go mind your own business.
[03:22] ---
    This ain't gonna be an ordinary game
    of basketball, as you can see.
[03:28] ---
    I don't care.
[03:29] ---
    Huh?
[03:30] ---
    I'm not backing down...
[03:32] ---
    ...until this is settled.
[03:35] ---
    Hey, you three.
[03:36] ---
    Huh?
[03:37] ---
    You should all stand under the basket
    and make sure he doesn't get close.
[03:41] ---
    What?
[03:42] ---
    Who the hell died and made
    you the boss around here?
[03:45] ---
    I'm not bossing you around.
[03:47] ---
    I just don't want us to lose.
[03:50] ---
    Uh oh, Madoka's serious about this.
[03:53] ---
    I feel so bad for that kid.
[03:56] ---
    Not like that! Go further back!
[03:56] ---
    With the defense clustered in the middle like that,
    it won't matter how good his drive is.
[03:58] ---
    Yeah, yeah. Quit your bitchin'.
[04:01] ---
    Short players usually rely
    on their dribbling skills to be competitive.
[04:04] ---
    But now they've made sure
    to totally strip him of his only weapon.
[04:07] ---
    I find it hard to believe he could even play basketball
    in the first place with his height.
[04:12] ---
    What else am I supposed
    to do? I'm just too short.
[04:17] ---
    Hey, don't just blame your
    height for your lack of points.
[04:21] ---
    I scored plenty and I'm only
    160 centimeters tall, you know?
[04:24] ---
    Yeah, but you were on a girls' team!
[04:27] ---
    Guys who are short like
    me just can't compete...
[04:32] ---
    Listen to me, Sora.
[04:34] ---
    Being short like you are
    isn't a disadvantage.
[04:38] ---
    If anything, it's an advantage, because it makes
    your opponent assume that you're not a threat.
[04:44] ---
    He's at the edge of the sideline!
[04:46] ---
    They've got him cornered!
[04:48] ---
    Okay, how about this.
[04:51] ---
    I'll share one important tip with you.
[04:58] ---
    A Duck-in!
[04:59] ---
    You're not getting past me again!
[05:03] ---
    A long time ago...
[05:04] ---
    ...they played basketball
    without this particular rule.
[05:11] ---
    But they added it later as a way to balance out
    the advantage that all the tall players had.
[05:17] ---
    If you learn to make the most
    of it, then you'll be fine.
[05:30] ---
    Because then...
[05:33] ---
    ...even you can...
[05:36] ---
    ...fly straight to the hoop in an instant!
[05:44] ---
    No way...
[05:48] ---
    He sunk that 3-pointer like it was nothing.
[05:53] ---
    He's amazing.
[05:55] ---
    He drew our attention with
    that slick drive earlier.
[05:58] ---
    Naturally, we responded
    by focusing our defense in the middle.
[06:01] ---
    But in reality... that just
    set up the court in his favor.
[06:07] ---
    And in the end, he nailed
    a perfect jump shot.
[06:12] ---
    A 3-point shooter who's only
    150 centimeters tall, huh?
[06:17] ---
    He's definitely got an interesting style.
[06:20] ---
    Okay!
[06:21] ---
    Nice game, nice game!
[06:23] ---
    Guess that makes you an
    official member of the team.
[06:25] ---
    And that means...
[06:28] ---
    ...you get the honor of being our lackey.
[06:31] ---
    Huh?
[06:31] ---
    Boy, what a workout. I'm starving!
[06:34] ---
    Great timing. Hurry on over to the cafeteria
    and fetch us some melon bread.
[06:44] ---
    Get your heads out of your asses.
[06:47] ---
    You idiots.
[06:49] ---
    I said this was going to be a best of 10.
[06:53] ---
    We still... have 8 more shots to go, dammit!
[06:57] ---
    MARUKO
    BRIDGE
[07:03] ---
    Isn't that, like, totes craycray?
[07:04] ---
    Oh em gee! That is so
    ridic, like I can't even.
[07:07] ---
    So, I was all like, "sorry not sorry."
[07:09] ---
    And they were like, "What did you just say?"
[07:11] ---
    Wait. Look down there.
[07:12] ---
    Total creeper alert, let's go!
[07:26] ---
    So, how'd it go?
[07:28] ---
    You win?
[07:32] ---
    That kid... he beat us.
[07:38] ---
    Well, you know what they
    say about basketball!
[07:41] ---
    You're bound to make at least
    1 out of every 10 shots! It's a fluke!
[07:44] ---
    Anyway, who wants a sip
    of my canned soup here?
[07:46] ---
    I found it on the ground
    earlier, it's still fresh!
[07:49] ---
    Come on, man! Down the hatch!
[07:52] ---
    It's good stuff! I swear!
[07:53] ---
    A fluke, huh?
[07:56] ---
    It would take a miracle
    for someone to fluke 9 times in a row.
[08:00] ---
    If we had been playing in a real game,
[08:03] ---
    then we'd have lost by 27 points.
[08:08] ---
    Let's play together!
[08:12] ---
    Huh?
[08:13] ---
    Let's play again soon, on the same team!
[08:19] ---
    That's a promise!
[08:21] ---
    I'll be waiting for you!
[08:34] ---
    Here.
[08:35] ---
    Oh, thanks.
[08:38] ---
    M-Madoka.
[08:44] ---
    "That's a promise?" You said that?
[08:47] ---
    You realize he won't keep it, right?
[08:49] ---
    I'm pretty sure he will.
[08:51] ---
    That Momoharu guy told me himself.
[08:53] ---
    He said he doesn't like people
    who can't keep their word.
[08:58] ---
    But even so...
[08:59] ---
    Didn't you notice it out on the court?
[09:01] ---
    Huh?
[09:03] ---
    During that entire match,
    he was the only one who never fouled me.
[09:09] ---
    I guess you do have a point there.
[09:14] ---
    At the start, when I went
    in to cut for the basket...
[09:18] ---
    ...he knew I was going to go for a spin
    just based on how I adjusted my hand on the ball.
[09:22] ---
    Before I could fully make
    my move, he blocked me off
[09:24] ---
    and almost lured me into
    making an offensive foul.
[09:30] ---
    I have no doubt.
[09:32] ---
    Those moves...
[09:34] ---
    ...could only be made by
    someone with experience!
[09:41] ---
    And if my intuition is right...
[09:43] ---
    ...he has played, too!

[10:00] ---
    Well for now, I managed to get myself
    on the basketball team.
[10:04] ---
    That means I can focus on
    getting in some practice, starting today!
[10:08] ---
    Oh, hey. You're the kid from yesterday.
[10:12] ---
    Oh, hey Madoka!
[10:13] ---
    Hi.
[10:18] ---
    Something wrong?
[10:20] ---
    Your face is beet red.
[10:22] ---
    Uh, no. Nothing at all!

    Here. You can have this.
[10:34] ---
    Huh?
[10:40] ---
    A-are you sure?!
[10:41] ---
    Yeah. Congrats on joining
    the basketball team.
[10:44] ---
    I think your presence is going
    to make a bit of a splash.
[10:48] ---
    Do your best out there, okay?
[10:52] ---
    You can do it, rookie!
[10:56] ---
    Okay!
SIGN    BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM
[11:01] ---
    Huh?
[11:03] ---
    You wanna practice?
[11:04] ---
    Get out of here with that shit.
[11:05] ---
    Wh-what else am I supposed to do
    if we're not going to practice?
[11:09] ---
    I don't know, sit over there
    and practice writing kanji or some shit.
[11:12] ---
    Sweet! I win!
[11:13] ---
    Gah!
[11:17] ---
    Hell yeah! Rack up another win for me!
[11:18] ---
    Dammit! You must be cheating, Yasu!
[11:21] ---
    Um... would you mind if
    I practiced by myself?
[11:24] ---
    What's that?!
[11:25] ---
    Nothing! Don't mind me.
[11:27] ---
    When you're done with that,
    then you can clean the locker room.
[11:30] ---
    J-just cleaning?
[11:33] ---
    Watch it kid, we've got
    seniority on you here.
[11:36] ---
    If you want the chance to play basketball,
    then you gotta do whatever we say.
[11:39] ---
    Okay, then...!
[11:41] ---
    I can play basketball after the
    cleaning's all done, right?
[11:48] ---
    Just keep us out of it, bonehead.
[11:52] ---
    Don't screw up. We better not see
    a speck of dust when we get back!
[11:58] ---
    Awesome! This is going to
    be easier than I thought!
[12:00] ---
    I'll have this place spotless in no time!
[12:13] ---
    I guess he's not coming today.
[12:20] ---
    That about does it.
[12:22] ---
    Oh crap! When did it get so late?!
[12:25] ---
    I gotta hurry or else I'll
    run out of time for practice.
[12:33] ---
    Um, hey there, Chiaki.
[12:37] ---
    What's with the pole?
[12:39] ---
    This thing?
[12:40] ---
    I borrowed it from the track & field club.
[12:44] ---
    Good timing.
[12:45] ---
    You're going to want in on this.
[12:48] ---
    Huh?
[12:51] ---
    Take a good look. You see the
    stuff that fell on the floor?
[12:55] ---
    There's something sticking out from under the jacket.
    Do you realize what that is?
[13:00] ---
    I'm not sure.
[13:04] ---
    That, my good friend...
[13:06] ---
    ...is a lady's bra.
[13:08] ---
    A b-b-b-b...
[13:09] ---
    ...bra?!
[13:12] ---
    Come on!
[13:13] ---
    It's time to launch our rescue operation
    to save that poor bra!
[13:18] ---
    But wait a sec...
[13:19] ---
    ...there's no way that thing
    is going to fit through the wall. Right?
[13:23] ---
    Don't worry.
[13:24] ---
    I've got my bases covered.
[13:27] ---
    More like a base up your sleeve!
[13:29] ---
    Okay. Commencing mission.
[13:33] ---
    Actually, that's not going to be long enough.
[13:36] ---
    What?
[13:37] ---
    You're about... 20, no, 15 centimeters short.
[13:42] ---
    Quit pulling my leg, man.
[13:43] ---
    This should be more than
    long enough to reach it.
[13:48] ---
    Huh? Shit.
[13:50] ---
    Well damn, you were right.
[13:52] ---
    Try this! It should be long enough
    to reach if we add this! Hurry up!
[13:55] ---
    I gotta say, you're way
    too excited about this.
[14:05] ---
    So hey, I heard you invited those guys
    to play together with you.
[14:10] ---
    But I told you before...
[14:12] ---
    ...the Kuzu High basketball team
[14:14] ---
    is just a gang of punks who
    don't even want to play.
[14:20] ---
    Is that really true?
[14:22] ---
    I'm not sure about the other guys,
[14:24] ---
    but I think at the very least Momoharu
    has a passion for the game.
[14:28] ---
    Please be straight with me.
[14:29] ---
    I'm almost certain that both you and Momoharu
    have prior experience.
[14:33] ---
    Didn't you used to play?
[14:38] ---
    Suppose we did. What does that change?
[14:43] ---
    Listen up, Senora Curvy-auntie
[14:46] ---
    It's "Sora Kurumatani."
[14:48] ---
    Just remember this...
[14:49] ---
    In all things in life...
[14:54] ---
    ...there comes a time to call it quits.
[14:59] ---
    Call it... quits?
[15:06] ---
    Great job today.
    Nice game.
[15:08] ---
    Time to get changed and head home.
[15:11] ---
    I guess that kid from yesterday
    never showed up, huh?
[15:14] ---
    Yeah...
[15:15] ---
    Huh? Is it just me or did something move?
[15:18] ---
    D-do you think it was a cockroach?
[15:21] ---
    Gross! I hope not!
[15:24] ---
    So that's what he meant...
    by calling it quits...
[15:51] ---
    He looks like he's on top of the world.
[16:04] ---
    Man, that kid really just won't take a hint.
[16:07] ---
    Basketball this and basketball that.
    What the hell is so fun about it?
[16:10] ---
    I'm taking bets on how long he lasts.
[16:13] ---
    One week! No wait, there's no way
    it's longer than 3 days.
[16:18] ---
    Are you still bothered by the fact...
[16:20] ---
    ...that he beat you?
[16:23] ---
    Not really.
[16:25] ---
    I don't give a shit about basketball.
[16:31] ---
    Hey Momoharu.
[16:33] ---
    Do you think this stick could
    reach all the way up there?
[16:37] ---
    Huh?
[16:38] ---
    Yeah, obviously. Looks long enough to me.
[16:44] ---
    Bzzt! You lose!
[16:49] ---
    But I bet...
[16:51] ---
    ...that he would have
    known from just a glance.
[16:55] ---
    What are you getting at?
[16:57] ---
    Depth perception.
[16:59] ---
    It's the ability to accurately
    measure the distance between you
[17:01] ---
    and another object with just your eyes.
[17:04] ---
    Any good shooter in basketball has to have
    a really keen sense of depth perception.
[17:10] ---
    Unlike me, you used to really
    put everything into practice.
[17:13] ---
    But it never made you become
    any better as a shooter, did it?
[17:17] ---
    I imagine that's the difference
    between an average joe and a real prodigy.
[17:23] ---
    Hey shitheads! You're on our turf!
[17:25] ---
    Stop sitting on your fat
    asses and buzz off! Losers!
[17:30] ---
    Oh? Look what we have here,
    it's a bunch of trash from Kuzu High.
[17:34] ---
    The shitty uniforms really
    go with their stupid faces.
[17:37] ---
    Better go home and practice using your pea brains
    so you can actually graduate, shitheads!
[17:49] ---
    What? Is that all you've got?
[17:51] ---
    You better watch what you say
    about Kuzu High from now on, kiddos.
[17:54] ---
    Aren't you glad you learned
    this important lesson?
[17:57] ---
    Dumbasses... you have no idea
    who the hell you're messing with.
[18:02] ---
    We're part of the crew at Maru High!
[18:06] ---
    I don't see any "crew" coming
    to save your sorry ass.
[18:10] ---
    Maru High, huh? That explains why
    they're such assholes.
[18:14] ---
    You know that it takes
    one to know one, right?
[18:17] ---
    I'm feeling lucky tonight,
    let's go throw down somewhere.
[18:19] ---
    Hell yeah, I like the sound of that!
[18:26] ---
    BOYS'
    BASKETBALL
    TEAM
[18:27] ---
    So...
[18:28] ---
    ...why the hell did we come
    back here to play mahjong?
[18:30] ---
    So we can win and then feel
    better about ourselves.
[18:33] ---
    Says the guy who keeps freakin' winning.
[18:37] ---
    What's up? You feel out of your element
    being in a clean room for once?
[18:41] ---
    Nah. It's just been a long time
    since we've hung out here this late.
[18:47] ---
    Brings back memories. We used to stay
    later than anybody in middle school.
[18:54] ---
    Yeah...
[19:01] ---
    Dude, it's already past 8:00!
    How many more shots is it gonna take?
[19:05] ---
    Until I get to 200.
[19:08] ---
    I might suck now,
    but I'm gonna be the very best one day.
[19:12] ---
    Cuz I'm the only one on the team
    who practices this much!
[19:21] ---
    Seems so long ago. I used to practice shooting
    until well after the sun went down.
[19:30] ---
    No... it can't be...
[19:36] ---
    You've gotta be kidding...
[19:49] ---
    He's been going at it this whole time?
[19:53] ---
    Just how many shots has he taken?
[19:56] ---
    1,021 of them.
[19:59] ---
    Yabuuchi?
[20:01] ---
    Oh, and that one makes 1,022.
[20:04] ---
    He's been shooting for nearly
    four hours straight now.
[20:08] ---
    What the hell are you doing
    here this late, anyway?
[20:11] ---
    I thought about going home a few times.
[20:14] ---
    But my curiosity got the better of me.
[20:17] ---
    That kid...
[20:18] ---
    ...I bet he does practice like
    this every day of the week.
[20:22] ---
    1,000 shots... every day...
[20:26] ---
    He must have lost his mind.
[20:28] ---
    Why the hell would anybody
    need to go that damn far?
[20:30] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[20:32] ---
    Because that kid...
[20:34] ---
    ...lacks the greatest asset that anybody
    can possibly have in basketball: height.
[20:40] ---
    Even if he excels in other
    aspects of the game,
[20:43] ---
    shooting 1,000 may not even be enough
    to make up for the difference in the end.
[20:48] ---
    Momoharu! Time for free throws!
[20:53] ---
    What kind of performance was that, Momoharu?!
[20:55] ---
    You had the easiest shot of all time!
[20:56] ---
    How many times are you gonna
    miss before you learn?!
[20:59] ---
    Forget it! I'm taking you out!
[21:02] ---
    Hoshino, you're in!
[21:04] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:05] ---
    Seriously? Talk about being lucky.
[21:08] ---
    Hoshino's a freshman who
    just barely joined the team.
[21:15] ---
    Holy crap! What a comeback!
[21:17] ---
    We actually beat Kitaoka Middle!
[21:18] ---
    I guess even one talented player
    is enough to change everything!
[21:27] ---
    Huh? What's up, Momoharu?
[21:29] ---
    Shouldn't you be at practice now?
[21:32] ---
    I saw your team in the gym.
[21:33] ---
    Nah, I quit all that.
[21:36] ---
    I don't have the talent, anyway.
[21:41] ---
    What are you going to do?
[21:43] ---
    Huh?
[21:43] ---
    That kid is waiting for you.
[21:46] ---
    You promised.
[21:48] ---
    And he's convinced that
    you'll keep your word.
[21:52] ---
    He had no doubt
    that you would play basketball with him.
[21:56] ---
    That kid...
[21:58] ---
    ...believes in you.
