[00:02] ---
    We've only got a week left
    until the prelims start.
[00:05] ---
    But nothing we can do right now.
[00:08] ---
    Why don't we just practice
    in the hallway again?
[00:10] ---
    We got in trouble for that last time.
[00:12] ---
    They bitched at us for all the
    squeaky noise our shoes were making.
[00:14] ---
    Doesn't this school have a
    training room or something?
[00:16] ---
    Kuzu High isn't some prestigious school
    with fancy shit like that.
[00:20] ---
    We wait until either the volleyball team
    finishes using the court.
[00:23] ---
    Or the rain lets up.
[00:25] ---
    What a waste of a precious Saturday.
[00:29] ---
    Okay!
[00:30] ---
    Memorize these!
[00:31] ---
    Uh, let's see, Nanao has a 4.
[00:34] ---
    Yasuhara has an 11, no wait, a 14 I think?
[00:37] ---
    And, uh, Chucky has a...
[00:41] ---
    A woman.
[00:42] ---
    Wow.
[00:43] ---
    How on Earth could you know that
    when your back is facing us?!
[00:45] ---
    It's gotta be a trick of
    some kind, I just know it!
[00:48] ---
    You always fail 'cuz you try
    to memorize them one-by-one.
[00:50] ---
    You'll never be a good point guard
    unless you learn to look at the bigger picture.
[00:55] ---
    Just imagine you had to pick
    your favorite girl out of 100 of them,
[00:59] ---
    you gotta be able to decide at just a glance
    or they won't be impressed.
[01:02] ---
    You don't have to worry about that happening,
    because it's a complete fantasy!
[01:06] ---
    Besides, I'm not a horse.
[01:07] ---
    I don't have monocular vision
    that lets me see both front and back!
[01:09] ---
    Dude, did you seriously
    just compare me to a horse?
[01:12] ---
    Brace yourself for my
    patented Rock Chop later!
[01:14] ---
    "Patented"? That's just
    a plain old punch, man.
[01:17] ---
    But damn, the rain just won't let up today.
[01:19] ---
    That's fine by me.
    We need a break from practice sometimes.
[01:23] ---
    I guess this is the best a
    regular high school can offer.
[01:27] ---
    Does this team really stand
    any chance... at winning?
[01:32] ---
    Um, hey.
[01:34] ---
    Huh?
[01:35] ---
    We're going to wrap up
    our practice for today.
[01:37] ---
    Here are the keys for the gym.
[01:40] ---
    Are you sure? You've only been using it
    for about an hour...
[01:43] ---
    The rain ruined everything.
[01:44] ---
    Most of our members didn't even show up.
[01:46] ---
    And we've got midterm
    tests next week, anyway.
[01:48] ---
    The badminton team also
    started packing up early.
[01:52] ---
    I guess we do get lucky sometimes!
[01:55] ---
    This means we can use the
    whole court all we want!
[01:58] ---
    Uh, that's great, but shouldn't some of you
[02:00] ---
    be studying for the upcoming tests, too?
[02:02] ---
    Ain't nothing to worry about!
[02:04] ---
    Oh really? I guess you guys
    must be pretty smart, then.
[02:07] ---
    Haha! That's a laugh!
[02:09] ---
    I'm gonna bomb all the tests
    just like I always do!
[02:12] ---
    That's not something to be proud of!
[02:20] ---
    It's Shigeyoshi...

[03:54] ---
    Nobody was here, so I thought
    you canceled practice.
[03:57] ---
    Ah, no.
[03:58] ---
    We take turns using the
    gym with the other teams.
[04:00] ---
    Lemme help you out!
[04:02] ---
    Uh, thank you.
[04:03] ---
    We have free reign of the gym for once.
[04:06] ---
    Let's lower the glass boards in the middle.
[04:07] ---
    Sure, we'll rock-paper-scissors
    for who does the hard work.
[04:10] ---
    Here we go!
[04:11] ---
    Rock, paper, scissors...!
[04:13] ---
    Shoot!
[04:14] ---
    Please allow me to join the basketball team.
[04:21] ---
    I would like to apologize
    for lying to all of you.
[04:24] ---
    Shigeyoshi...
[04:26] ---
    I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
[04:29] ---
    But, the truth is...
[04:32] ---
    ...I want to get serious about
    playing basketball again.
[04:36] ---
    Please let me join.
[04:37] ---
    Hold up.
[04:39] ---
    We've already seen your true colors.
[04:41] ---
    You can't expect to just
    smooth talk your way in now.
[04:43] ---
    Kite.
[04:44] ---
    Despite how our team looks,
    we're working really damn hard to reach the top.
[04:48] ---
    Your half-assed passion for the game
    is just gonna drag us down.
[04:52] ---
    Go back to playing chemist, fool.
[04:53] ---
    Hey! Be nice, Natsume!
    You don't have to act so rude all the-
[04:56] ---
    We're wasting precious time.
    Let's get to practicing.
[04:58] ---
    R-right...
[05:06] ---
    The reason I came here...
    is because I have true passion for the game.
[05:13] ---
    I'm serious. I want to play basketball.
[05:18] ---
    But what about the chemistry club?
[05:20] ---
    I just finished turning in
    my formal resignation to the club advisor.
[05:25] ---
    There's nowhere else for me to go now.
[05:28] ---
    Please allow me to stay with you.
[05:29] ---
    You're not an orphan, jeez.
[05:31] ---
    Since he's this insistent about it,
    I don't see any reason to say no.
[05:34] ---
    It's just fine by me, personally.
[05:37] ---
    I don't agree.
[05:40] ---
    Kurumatani...
[05:42] ---
    I can't bring myself to believe him
    when he claims to be "serious."
[05:47] ---
    Color me surprised.
[05:48] ---
    Tinytown is totally picking a fight, guys.
[05:51] ---
    Then how can I convince you?
[05:56] ---
    Come out on the court.
[05:59] ---
    Is this for real?
[06:02] ---
    Okay. I get it.
[06:09] ---
    He's fast!
[06:13] ---
    Whoa! A double frappé!
[06:15] ---
    It's a double clutch, dude.
[06:18] ---
    That's one basket for me.
[06:22] ---
    I see... blocks are inevitable for him,
[06:25] ---
    so his playstyle is all
    about dealing with them.
[06:29] ---
    This is like watching an adult play a kid.
[06:31] ---
    It doesn't matter how good
    Kurumatani is on the court,
[06:33] ---
    he won't be able to stop Shigeyoshi's shots.
[06:36] ---
    There's just too much of a gap in height.
[06:38] ---
    It doesn't matter.
    Their skills will be what decide this match.
[06:44] ---
    Whoa, that was a smooth move!
[06:49] ---
    And now, we're even.
[06:54] ---
    Is it just me, or is Kurumatani acting
    a little strange today?
[06:57] ---
    He was the one most excited about the idea
    of Shigeyoshi joining us.
[07:01] ---
    Did he just get really upset
    at being lied to, or what?
[07:09] ---
    You should be... guarding me more closely.
[07:12] ---
    Huh?
[07:19] ---
    I'm not missing a single shot today.
[07:23] ---
    He scored from long-range
    on me in a one-on-one...
[07:27] ---
    Dammit!
[07:31] ---
    There it is!
[07:42] ---
    What's the matter?
[07:43] ---
    We've barely been at it for 10 minutes.
[07:46] ---
    Is this really how you play
    when you're "serious"?
[07:50] ---
    A'ight! That's enough!
[07:52] ---
    We can't waste any more time.
    Get ready to start practice!
[07:56] ---
    Hey! I think this guy
    is at his limit already.
[07:58] ---
    What? No...
[08:00] ---
    Hit the bench and rest up.
[08:02] ---
    But I...
[08:03] ---
    You're in the way!
[08:04] ---
    Sekiya! Sub out with him!
[08:06] ---
    Hold it right there!
[08:08] ---
    Ow!
[08:09] ---
    Whoa! The girls are invading our turf!
[08:11] ---
    Why are you guys bullying
    the new guy like that?
[08:13] ---
    Don't the freshman have
    their own training schedule to follow?
[08:16] ---
    Jerks.
[08:17] ---
    Yeah, well, this guy doesn't
    even look like a freshman.
[08:21] ---
    Speak up for yourself when you need a break.
[08:24] ---
    Don't let anybody else determine
    what your limits are.
[08:28] ---
    Senpai...
[08:34] ---
    I'm not done yet.
[08:37] ---
    I can still keep playing.
[08:52] ---
    Oh my gosh... that was
    high enough to be a dunk!
[08:56] ---
    And now, we're even once again.
[08:58] ---
    That was definitely a foul. Just now.
[09:01] ---
    No way, that's typical contact
    for under the basket.
[09:08] ---
    They've been at it for 30 minutes already.
[09:10] ---
    That Mokichi guy is pretty
    decent for hanging on so long.
[09:13] ---
    Yeah.
[09:14] ---
    He's just trying to skip
    out on actual practice.
[09:17] ---
    I knew a guy like that back in middle school.
[09:20] ---
    It definitely doesn't seem
    that way to me, though.
[09:23] ---
    Huh?
[09:24] ---
    That guy has gone... well beyond his limit.
[09:29] ---
    A crossover!
[09:46] ---
    Not yet. Let's keep going.
[09:55] ---
    I'm sick and tired... of shouldering
    people's expectations.
[09:59] ---
    And I'm already used...
    to people being disappointed in me.
[10:04] ---
    But... the truth is...
[10:08] ---
    none of that ever really
    mattered to me at all.
[10:13] ---
    All of the seniors... on the day
    of our very last tournament together...
[10:20] ---
    I've gotta block!
[10:32] ---
    Saijo
    Kozu
[11:13] ---
    Tsukishima...
[11:17] ---
    What I feared more than anything...
[11:20] ---
    was losing the light you brought.
[11:33] ---
    Holy shit, check that dunk! Badass!
[11:37] ---
    He plays pretty rough
    despite looking so timid.
[11:40] ---
    He's showing off too damn much.
[11:44] ---
    Looks like... I win.
[11:47] ---
    He just smiled!
[11:49] ---
    I didn't think that was possible for him!
[11:50] ---
    What the hell gave you that impression?
[11:52] ---
    Shigeyoshi...
[11:56] ---
    Smug jerk...
[11:59] ---
    I looked up the word "regret"...
[12:04] ---
    ...in the dictionary.
[12:08] ---
    I realized... I was an idiot.
[12:12] ---
    See ya.
[12:13] ---
    Bye.
[12:25] ---
    Wait, isn't this your friend, Kyoko?
[12:26] ---
    How terrible, don't you have an umbrella?
[12:30] ---
    I forgot mine... back at school.
[12:33] ---
    Even though it's raining so hard?
[12:35] ---
    Quick, find a towel!
[12:39] ---
    The truth is... that I did like
    you back then, Tsukishima.
[12:45] ---
    Yeah. I know.
[12:48] ---
    And... I still do now.
[12:53] ---
    I know that, too.
[13:02] ---
    Goodbye.
[13:02] ---
    Wait, Kyoko!
[13:04] ---
    What's with you?
[13:05] ---
    I don't know what's going on,
    but you're being way too hard on him.
[13:09] ---
    You should at least listen
    to what he has to say.
[13:13] ---
    Senpai... I've decided
    to start playing basketball once again.
[13:18] ---
    If things go well,
[13:20] ---
    my team will go up against
    the one from your school in the second round.
[13:25] ---
    A huge mistake... that I'll
    never be able to undo.
[13:29] ---
    That is the burden... with
    which I must live with.
[13:39] ---
    That was so mean of you, Kurumatani.
[13:42] ---
    Shigeyoshi actually came to us
    without needing any convincing.
[13:45] ---
    Don't you want to play on
    the same team with him?
[13:49] ---
    I think... there really are
    people in the world too sick
[13:52] ---
    to play basketball even though they want to.
[13:55] ---
    That's why... it was impossible for me
    to just forgive Mokichi for lying about that.
[14:00] ---
    Kurumatani...
[14:02] ---
    But...
[14:04] ---
    ...I'm glad it wasn't true.
[14:07] ---
    In the end, I still really do want to play basketball...
    together with Mokichi.
[14:15] ---
    We have a new member I
    need to introduce to you.
[14:19] ---
    Or at least, I wanted to, but...
[14:21] ---
    ...he's apparently out
    sick with a cold today.
[14:24] ---
    You gotta be kidding!
[14:25] ---
    So now, I'll just skip
    to today's announcements.
[14:28] ---
    As you all know, the midterm
    tests will begin tomorrow.
[14:32] ---
    Generally speaking, all teams are on break
    during the testing period...
[14:35] ---
    What?!
[14:36] ---
    Wha-?! Hold on a damn second!
[14:38] ---
    We only have 6 days left
    until the prelims start!
[14:41] ---
    And I still haven't been able
    to get my shots to go in!
[14:44] ---
    If we stop practicing this
    week then we're doomed!
[14:46] ---
    Ban the tests instead!
[14:48] ---
    I'm fully aware. Relax,
    I'm not a complete tyrant.
[14:52] ---
    For the following four days that
    the tests are being held...
[14:54] ---
    ...you boys are free to make use
    of the empty gym in whatever way you see fit.
[14:58] ---
    Oh sweet, that's an awesome deal.
[15:00] ---
    This is perfect.
[15:01] ---
    Especially since school gets out at noon
    during test week!
[15:04] ---
    It'll be like a mini training camp!
[15:06] ---
    That means we'll be able to
    pack our schedule totally full.
[15:08] ---
    For sure!
[15:10] ---
    Midterms! For the win! Yes!
[15:13] ---
    Uh, just one more thing.
[15:15] ---
    If any of you end up with a failing grade
    on the midterm tests,
[15:18] ---
    I'll pull you from the prelims.
[15:22] ---
    Seriously...?
[15:23] ---
    Dead serious.
[15:25] ---
    WHAAAAT?!
[15:27] ---
    Okay, that's a big problem.
[15:30] ---
    For now, just raise your hand
    if you expect to fail a test.
[15:33] ---
    Okay!
[15:34] ---
    That's basically the entire team!
[15:36] ---
    What about that Mokichi guy who just joined?
[15:39] ---
    Maybe we can drop him
    before he ruins it for us.
[15:42] ---
    Worry about yourselves first!
[15:44] ---
    Shigeyoshi went to THE Saijo Middle School,
[15:46] ---
    so he must be plenty smart and talented!
[15:48] ---
    For real?!
[15:49] ---
    Jeez, what a damn glory hound!
[15:52] ---
    Anyways, I think our best
    bet is to focus on just
[15:54] ---
    the key subjects and study
    in groups split by grade.
[15:58] ---
    What tests are tomorrow?
[15:59] ---
    Do you all know what to expect?
    Have you been taking notes in class?
[16:02] ---
    Nope.
[16:03] ---
    Beats me.
[16:04] ---
    Who uses notebooks?
[16:05] ---
    You can memorize info by
    eating textbooks, you know.
[16:08] ---
    P-please give me a few pages!
    I'll top them with some mayo!
[16:11] ---
    So hey, "Kings of the Animal Jungle" is on tonight.
    Can I go home early?
[16:16] ---
    Okay, I've had it up to HERE with you guys!
[16:19] ---
    Starting right now, NOBODY can leave the gym
    without my express permission!
[16:23] ---
    HUH?!

    Kanagawa School of Medical Science

[17:43] ---
    Excuse me.
[17:44] ---
    Is Nurse Yabuuchi from
    the Internal Medicine department available?
[17:47] ---
    I'm her younger sister.
[17:49] ---
    Uh, let's see. Does anyone know
    where Ms. Yabuuchi is right now?
[17:52] ---
    In room 305, doing her check
    up on Mrs. Kurumatani.
[17:55] ---
    Oh, then I'll just head directly over
    to that room, if that's okay.
[17:59] ---
    These flowers I brought are
    actually for that patient.
[18:01] ---
    Oh, how nice.
[18:02] ---
    Yuka Kurumatani
[18:05] ---
    Good afternoon.
[18:09] ---
    Oh my.
[18:10] ---
    Madoka?!
[18:12] ---
    Um, I'm... s-s-sorry....!
[18:15] ---
    You should at least knock
    before you come in, jeez!
[18:17] ---
    It's all right, I don't mind.
[18:19] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[18:20] ---
    I've still got some nice curves on me, huh?
[18:23] ---
    Mrs. Kurumatani!
[18:26] ---
    Prairie gentian flowers, right?
    Such a wonderful aroma.
[18:29] ---
    Thank you.
[18:30] ---
    Oh, it's nothing.
[18:32] ---
    So why aren't you at school right now?
[18:33] ---
    Don't tell me you're skipping class again!
[18:35] ---
    We're out early because it's test week!
[18:37] ---
    Oh wow, and you came all the
    way out here to visit me?
[18:41] ---
    You should have come after
    test week was over, then!
[18:44] ---
    Don't make Mrs. Kurumatani feel bad
    for interrupting your study time!
[18:47] ---
    Please, it's okay.
[18:50] ---
    I had to... come and return this.
[18:54] ---
    Hold on, isn't that the
    bracelet she asked you to...?
[18:57] ---
    You didn't go through with it, then?
[18:59] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:00] ---
    I'm so relieved!
[19:02] ---
    Huh?
[19:04] ---
    That boy is bright enough
    to recognize who made it.
[19:07] ---
    I think he would have
    figured it out right away.
[19:10] ---
    So I regretted asking you to give it to him.
[19:12] ---
    Mrs. Kurumatani...
[19:13] ---
    I'm so glad he didn't end up getting it!
[19:16] ---
    Thank you so much, Madoka.
[19:19] ---
    Don't mention it.
[19:23] ---
    So, would you mind staying
    to chat with me for a little while?
[19:27] ---
    You came right when I
    was feeling a bit bored.
[19:29] ---
    Oh, sure! My pleasure.
[19:37] ---
    Recommended Sunset
    Tourist Spots
[19:50] ---
    Wow! That was so much fun!
[19:52] ---
    She even gave me this tasty-looking apple.
[19:54] ---
    Mrs. Yuka really is so charming.
[19:57] ---
    Oh please, have a little more respect.
[20:00] ---
    She was so considerate after
    you barged in like that.
[20:02] ---
    You should have followed through and come up
[20:04] ---
    with some way to give
    Sora that bracelet, jeez.
[20:08] ---
    What a nice aroma...
[20:13] ---
    Hey, Sis?
[20:14] ---
    Hm?
[20:15] ---
    Did Mrs. Yuka... undergo surgery?
[20:18] ---
    What?
[20:20] ---
    I noticed earlier... that
    she had a scar on her chest.
[20:24] ---
    Oh, that's from not too long ago.
[20:26] ---
    You have some sharp eyes, Madoka.
[20:28] ---
    Is she all right now?
[20:30] ---
    Well, it certainly wasn't
    a very difficult surgery.
[20:33] ---
    They just cut her open and
    then sewed her back up.
[20:36] ---
    What does that mean?
[20:37] ---
    I've never heard of a
    surgery like that before.
[20:41] ---
    It's true.
[20:44] ---
    They went in and then stopped.
[20:51] ---
    Do you... understand what that means?
[21:03] ---
    Whoa, another one?!
[21:06] ---
    You're on fire, Tinytown!
[21:08] ---
    You haven't missed a single shot all day!
[21:10] ---
    I haven't even had a chance
    to touch the ball, dammit!
[21:12] ---
    Well, get used to it!
[21:14] ---
    This shrimp is truly something else.
[21:17] ---
    I'm more impressed by how
    he gets open to shoot,
[21:19] ---
    rather than his accuracy rate.
[21:23] ---
    I can only imagine
[21:23] ---
    One more time!
[21:25] ---
    how many difficult trials he's overcome
    with that small frame of his...
[21:30] ---
    My excitement is growing
    with every day that we get closer to our first game.
[21:38] ---
    We've assembled... some serious firepower!

    I went and bruised it... right
    after she gave it to me.
[23:22] ---
    I need to focus. I have tests tomorrow.
[23:28] ---
    I feel sick...
