[00:01] ---
    Wrong... correct... wrong...
[00:04] ---
    ANSWER
[00:05] ---
    And wrong.
[00:08] ---
    I've finished grading all of the tests.
[00:10] ---
    And the results?
[00:13] ---
    It's unfortunate, but...
[00:17] ---
    Every single one of you...
[00:19] ---
    ...actually got a passing grade!
[00:20] ---
    What the hell is "unfortunate" about that?!
[00:23] ---
    Oops, sorry about that. What I meant to say was,
    "It's my pleasure to announce!"
[00:30] ---
    That being said, please don't get too relaxed
    about the midterms.
[00:33] ---
    All I did was check them to give us an idea.
[00:36] ---
    My grading might be 2 or 3 points off
    from the actual results.
[00:38] ---
    That's hardly gonna make any difference.
[00:41] ---
    It will because you guys are
    just barely passing as it is!
[00:44] ---
    Well... I'll acknowledge that
    they've put in the effort.
[00:47] ---
    After all, this lot has only managed
    single-digit grades up until now.
[00:51] ---
    With all their progress recently,
    it would be nice to see a win tomorrow.
[00:57] ---
    Of course! We've totally got this in the bag!
[00:59] ---
    Everybody here is in it to win it.
[01:01] ---
    I hope our reward is sushi this time.
[01:03] ---
    Sushi, hell yeah!
[01:05] ---
    Quit begging for a free
    meal after every damn game!
[01:09] ---
    All right! This is our last practice sesh!
    Let's throw everything we've got into it!
[01:13] ---
    Right!

    Ahiru no Sora
[02:45] ---
    Undiscovered Talent
[02:46] ---
    Did you see the tourney bracket?
[02:48] ---
    Our first opponent is gonna be Kuzu High!
[02:49] ---
    What? Does Kuzu High even
    have a basketball team?
[02:52] ---
    They're new this year, aren't they?
[02:54] ---
    Ugh. Isn't that the school with
    a team full of delinquents?
[02:56] ---
    Well, at least we know they
    probably suck at the game.
[03:01] ---
    Guess that means we're gonna
    glide through the first round!
[03:03] ---
    The big problem for us are the teams who come after.
[03:05] ---
    Both Saijo and Shinmaruko are in our bracket, right?
[03:07] ---
    Oh yeah, isn't Shinmaruko the team
    from the Kanto tourney that- Ow!
[03:11] ---
    It's impossible to know
    the outcome of a match beforehand.
[03:14] ---
    Quit belittling our opponents
    before we even play them.
[03:17] ---
    Oh. Sorry, Captain Takahashi!
[03:19] ---
    W-we won't do it again!

    Get them done fast.
[03:25] ---
    Huh? Senpai, isn't that popsicle...?
[03:28] ---
    This? I found it in the freezer.
[03:30] ---
    Because it's mine, I put it there!
[03:32] ---
    Oh, my bad. I'll pay you back 50 yen later.
[03:35] ---
    But it cost me 100 yen!
[03:38] ---
    There he goes again.
[03:39] ---
    Just when I think he's doing a solid job as leader,
[03:42] ---
    he goes and acts all aloof like that.
[03:44] ---
    Doesn't even look nervous.
[03:46] ---
    But that's a good thing.
[03:47] ---
    It's part of what makes
    our Captain who he is.
[03:50] ---
    'Sup?!
[03:54] ---
    Good arf-ternoon, dawgs.
[03:56] ---
    Hey, Kojima!
[03:57] ---
    Is your leg injury doing better now?
[03:59] ---
    It's doing just purr-fect.
[04:00] ---
    Don't bother trying to fool us,
    we know that you tore a ligament.
[04:04] ---
    If I miss out on this tournament,
    then my High School basketball career is over.
[04:09] ---
    I don't want to have any regrets.
[04:14] ---
    Noooo!
[04:17] ---
    You're on the bench for now.
[04:19] ---
    But no need to worry,
    I'll get us through at least the first 3 games.
[04:23] ---
    What a wimp! Can't even go all the way!
[04:26] ---
    Oh yeah?! Take this!
[04:28] ---
    Hey, did you know?
[04:30] ---
    When Takahashi and Kojima joined
    the basketball team here,
[04:32] ---
    they were the only 2 members.
[04:35] ---
    Huh?!
[04:36] ---
    They spent every day
    of their freshman year playing 1-on-1.
[04:40] ---
    Then in their sophomore year,
    some others finally joined,
[04:43] ---
    but that only brought them up to 5 members.
[04:45] ---
    So apparently they lost
    every match they played.
[04:48] ---
    Seriously? That's crazy, considering how awesome
    Takahashi is on the court...
[04:52] ---
    Well, you gotta remember we're in
    the same region as Saijo and Kitasumi.
[04:55] ---
    Ever since we joined the team this year,
[04:57] ---
    it was like everything had finally come together,
[04:59] ---
    but then in our last game,
    Kojima ended up injuring his leg...
[05:05] ---
    Hey, you freshmen.
[05:07] ---
    Uh, yessir!
[05:08] ---
    Who was in charge of mopping the court today?
[05:10] ---
    Th-that would be us, sir!
[05:13] ---
    Do it again!
[05:15] ---
    Man, Kashiwagi really terrifies me!
[05:18] ---
    Yeah, he's seriously the only
    senior I just can't deal with!
[05:21] ---
    I don't think I've ever seen him
    actually mop the court even once!
[05:25] ---
    But Takashi and the other
    seniors do it all the time!
[05:30] ---
    Just imagine this team if he wasn't around...
[05:31] ---
    Shut up! He'll hear you!
[05:33] ---
    We're starting! Hurry it up!
[05:35] ---
    Yessir!
[05:37] ---
    Freshmen! I expect louder cheering today.
[05:39] ---
    Yessir!
[05:40] ---
    Tanaka, get your foot off the line.
[05:42] ---
    Shinjo...!
[05:44] ---
    FIGHT!
[06:02] ---
    Uh, hello? Nanao?
[06:04] ---
    I just wanted to confirm
    some details about tomorrow.
[06:07] ---
    First, could you tell me what
    I need to bring with me?
[06:11] ---
    Right, okay. So then,
    you'll bring our uniforms.
[06:15] ---
    Yep. I think you've got all you need.
[06:18] ---
    You're more of a worrywart
    than I would have expected, Kurumatani.
[06:21] ---
    Uh, yeah. It's cuz I somehow
    always manage to forget stuff.
[06:25] ---
    Tomorrow is finally the
    big day. Are you nervous?
[06:27] ---
    Huh? No! Not at all!
[06:30] ---
    Make sure you go to bed
    as early as possible tonight, okay?
[06:32] ---
    Right.
[06:33] ---
    Uh, so we're meeting at
    8:00 am tomorrow, right?
[06:36] ---
    I just told you that a minute ago.
[06:40] ---
    Let's give it our all.
[06:41] ---
    Yeah.
[06:43] ---
    Okay, goodnight.
[06:46] ---
    Yeah, nighty night.
[06:59] ---
    I better check just one more time!
[07:03] ---
    Hello? Kite?
[07:04] ---
    I just wanna confirm about tomorrow...
[07:06] ---
    Why are you calling THIS late, dumbass?!
[07:12] ---
    I thought your game didn't start 'til noon.
[07:14] ---
    Aren't you leaving just a tad too early?
[07:16] ---
    I'm leaving early so I can go to school
    and get some practice in.
[07:19] ---
    You'll wear yourself out
    before the game even starts, then!
[07:22] ---
    It'll be okay!
[07:24] ---
    I'm off!
[07:27] ---
    I tried, but I couldn't sleep a wink!
[07:31] ---
    This is the first time in my life...
[07:33] ---
    ...that I've ever been so hyped up!
[07:42] ---
    The sun is so bright this morning.
[07:49] ---
    How beautiful...
[08:03] ---
    That... threw me for a loop!
[08:11] ---
    That's right, today is...
[08:14] ---
    You've really grown so much
    in the time I haven't seen you.
[08:19] ---
    Do your best out there... Sora!
[08:25] ---
    What the-?
[08:28] ---
    Oh... hey, Tinytown.
[08:30] ---
    What are all of you guys doing here?!
[08:32] ---
    Don't tell me that you never
    actually left yesterday...
[08:35] ---
    Nah, we went home for a bit,
    but... we just couldn't sleep at all.
[08:40] ---
    So we decided to try and do some extra practice on our shots...
[08:43] ---
    but then all of a sudden it was morning.
[08:46] ---
    I'm dead tired...
[08:48] ---
    Yeah, you said it...
[08:50] ---
    The world is turning white...
[08:51] ---
    This is an absolute disaster!
[08:56] ---
    You see? I told you they'd be here.
[08:58] ---
    I don't believe this.
[08:59] ---
    Chiaki?! Did something happen to you?!
    It's 6:00 in the morning!
[09:03] ---
    When it comes to trips or events,
    I'm always up bright and early.
[09:06] ---
    Don't tell me that both of you also...
[09:09] ---
    We were up playing games all night.
[09:11] ---
    That means our team is in the
    worst condition right now!
[09:15] ---
    You can go in before me, beanstalk.
[09:17] ---
    Huh?
[09:18] ---
    I don't want them thinking we're all buddy-buddy by
[09:21] ---
    showing up at the exact same time.
[09:22] ---
    Thanks. Good to know you care so much.
[09:25] ---
    Wha-?
[09:31] ---
    Ouch...
[09:33] ---
    I... I'm so sorry...
[09:35] ---
    You brainless moron!
[09:36] ---
    We'd be screwed if you went and injured me right before our match!
[09:38] ---
    I kinda wish she had.
[09:45] ---
    Just you wait, Mom.
[09:48] ---
    I'm definitely coming to see you soon!
[10:02] ---
    FIGHT WITH
    ALL YOUR MIGHT
[10:11] ---
    Whoa, teams are already practicing.
[10:14] ---
    Must be the ones competing first today.
[10:17] ---
    Ow! Watch it, punk!
[10:19] ---
    Oh... sorry about that.
[10:20] ---
    NAKANE
[10:22] ---
    Well, those guys are clearly
    good at basketball...
[10:25] ---
    Yeah and based just on looks,
    we're leaving the exact opposite impression...
[10:39] ---
    Yahoo!
[10:41] ---
    WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!
[10:43] ---
    I, uh, I'm really sorry!
[10:45] ---
    I honestly dunno what's
    gotten into me right now.
[10:48] ---
    Yeah, man. I feel ya.
[10:52] ---
    What's wrong with you, Mokichi?
[10:53] ---
    It's my anemia... I'm gonna pass out...
[10:57] ---
    Then go home, stupid!
[11:00] ---
    You guys are as lively as ever.
[11:02] ---
    Yo.
[11:03] ---
    Hey, it's Tokiwa! And the
    other guys from Maru High!
[11:07] ---
    Sheesh, the first round of a tournament
    isn't anything to jump for joy over.
[11:10] ---
    Just watching you is
    already making me cringe.
[11:12] ---
    Win 2 and you get to play us.
[11:14] ---
    We're expecting to see you there.
[11:17] ---
    Count on it!
[11:19] ---
    That reminds me, Chiba.
    How are you guys fairing in the Kanto Tournament?
[11:23] ---
    If I remember right, it's held alongside
    the inter-high prelims, yeah?
[11:26] ---
    That's right. We just played
    a game earlier this week.
[11:30] ---
    But we lost in the quarterfinals.
[11:33] ---
    It's unbelievable, we can't even get ourselves
    in the top 5. Just pathetic.
[11:37] ---
    Except, the opposing team was
    a well-known inter-high favorite.
[11:41] ---
    I'd say we just had bad luck.
[11:43] ---
    That doesn't make them unbeatable.
[11:45] ---
    We'll get our revenge the next time around.
[11:48] ---
    We're scheduled to play the very last game today,
[11:50] ---
    so we'll be having fun watching your match in the meantime.
[11:52] ---
    Shoo! Git!
[11:54] ---
    So even Maru High couldn't
    be the prefectural reps.
[11:56] ---
    We've got a long road to the top.
[11:58] ---
    Those guys are just small
    fries, if you ask me.
[12:03] ---
    Long time no see... my friends.
[12:07] ---
    Oh, it's just Farto Kabachi.
[12:09] ---
    My name is TARO Kabachi!
[12:11] ---
    C'mon, let's get warmed up.
[12:13] ---
    Hey! Don't just ignore me!
[12:15] ---
    Actually, thinking about it,
    Kitasumi isn't even playing here...
[12:18] ---
    Huh?
[12:20] ---
    Yeah, well, you see...
[12:22] ---
    I wanted to come and make sure
    that Nao didn't forget about me.
[12:25] ---
    So, you're gonna die soon?
[12:26] ---
    Bye-bye.
[12:27] ---
    Nobody is dying, dammit!
[12:30] ---
    Our game is getting ready to start!
    Where the hell are you?!
[12:34] ---
    I'm gonna make you guys
    regret this! Stupid jerks!
[12:42] ---
    From what I hear, Kuzu High
    just barely formed their basketball team.
[12:46] ---
    According to our coach, a number
    of their players are complete amateurs.
[12:51] ---
    I kinda feel an affinity
    for them, knowing that.
[12:53] ---
    It's starting to push my excitement level
    through the woof!
[12:57] ---
    Well, since we're both bottom
    tier teams I hope this'll be-
[12:59] ---
    Don't be stupid, we're more experienced.
[13:02] ---
    We kept pushing for those 3 years,
    just so that we could get to this tournament.
[13:06] ---
    Bottom tier or not, anybody playing high school
[13:09] ---
    basketball has dreams of going to the inter-high.
[13:16] ---
    And I...
[13:18] ---
    ...want to blaze a trail for this team.
[13:25] ---
    Don't start laughing at me, freshmen.
[13:27] ---
    W-we would never think of it!
[13:28] ---
    I have dreams just like you said!
    Please take us to the inter-high!
[13:32] ---
    We're counting on you!
[13:35] ---
    You guys...
[13:38] ---
    Don't phrase it like that, be more positive and say,
    "Let's all get there together."
[13:42] ---
    You guys are gonna be playing out there, too.
[13:45] ---
    We've got high hopes for all of you.
[13:47] ---
    Y-yessir!
[13:50] ---
    Okay! Let's do this!
[13:52] ---
    Everything starts by winning the first game.
[13:54] ---
    Don't let your guard down just because they seem weak!
[13:58] ---
    Let's get out there and win this thing!
[14:00] ---
    Yeah!
[14:03] ---
    KUZURYU
[14:10] ---
    I'm so glad I made it back in time.
[14:12] ---
    I can't believe I forgot the jerseys after I
[14:14] ---
    brought them all the way to school this morning!
[14:16] ---
    These are sick!
[14:17] ---
    You've got it on backwards, dummy!
[14:20] ---
    And these are your new
    t-shirts for practice, look!
[14:22] ---
    Momoharu even came up
    with a really cool design for the backside!
[14:25] ---
    Don't you guys think they
    all turned out really good?
[14:30] ---
    DRAGON BALL
[14:30] ---
    Oh, it says "Ryu Kyu." I get it.
    You took the "Ryu" from Kuzuryu.
[14:34] ---
    Huh? You've got it totally wrong, you idiot.
[14:37] ---
    This is what "basket ball" looks like
    when you write it with proper kanji.
[14:41] ---
    I think the word you actually
    wanted was "Rou Kyu."
[14:41] ---
    BASKET BALL
[14:44] ---
    That's the kanji for basket
    that I remember... yeah.
[14:46] ---
    DRAGON BALL
[14:49] ---
    That's fine! It's all
    good if we understand it!
[14:52] ---
    Everyone will figure out that it's meant to be
    the Ryu from Kuzuryu!
[14:58] ---
    That's the end of the 2nd quarter!
[15:00] ---
    Sweet, let's get moving!
[15:02] ---
    The teams playing in the next game
    get to practice on the court during halftime.
[15:06] ---
    Shinjo...!
[15:08] ---
    Fight! Yeah!
[15:15] ---
    Wow... those guys are really pumped up.
[15:18] ---
    Any team giving off energy like that
    has got to be tough to beat...
[15:21] ---
    We sure as hell aren't gonna win
    if you let them psych you out now.
[15:24] ---
    I know you guys have more guts than that.
[15:28] ---
    He's right.
[15:29] ---
    A'ight, boys! Time for us to get out there
    and make some noise!
[15:32] ---
    Raise the roof!
[15:37] ---
    Did the lead up time to a match
    always make me this nervous?
[15:41] ---
    Dammit! I'm a real sad sack of shit.
[15:47] ---
    What's up with that tiny kid?
[15:49] ---
    Did they accidentally let an
    elementary schooler in here?
[15:53] ---
    There's no way that kid even
    reaches 160 centimeters.
[15:55] ---
    Totally, he's gotta be a sub or something.
[15:58] ---
    Though... is it just me
    or has he not missed a single shot?
[16:02] ---
    What's going on?
[16:03] ---
    They're saying there's an
    amazing shooter down there.
[16:05] ---
    Oh sweet, Shinjo's playing next!
[16:07] ---
    They've got some solid players on their team.
[16:09] ---
    An afro and a pompadour?
[16:11] ---
    What's up with that team of weirdos?
[16:13] ---
    Looks like it'll be an entertaining matchup.
[16:15] ---
    Let's go check it out for a bit!
[16:16] ---
    Dammit...
[16:18] ---
    You better not be thinking
    about playing today.
[16:23] ---
    Give me a break.
[16:25] ---
    You don't have to harp on me
    every chance you get, dude!
[16:27] ---
    I get it! Order received, Captain!
[16:29] ---
    I'm just gonna
    sit here and watch quietly from the bench!
[16:31] ---
    Okay! Fine!
[16:34] ---
    But one condition...
[16:35] ---
    I get to beat the shit
    outta you if we lose this.
[16:39] ---
    Sure. Feel free.
[16:43] ---
    That's the end of the game!
[16:44] ---
    Alright!
[16:47] ---
    Okay so, Chiaki, Kurumatani,
    Natsume, Yasuhara, and Momoharu.
[16:53] ---
    The five of you will be our starting lineup.
[16:55] ---
    We're not going to be sloppy
    and wait it out like we did before.
[16:58] ---
    We're putting our best foot
    forward right from the start.
[17:01] ---
    Chiaki, I want you to be as aggressive as possible
    by getting under the basket.
[17:04] ---
    If the flow of the game dictates it,
    feel free to change positions with Kurumatani.
[17:08] ---
    Sure, leave it to me.
[17:09] ---
    This is our first battle. Let's
    tear it up out there, Yasuhara.
[17:12] ---
    You got it!
[17:15] ---
    Attention. The second match on court A,
[17:18] ---
    Kuzuryu High School vs. Shinjotowa Academy
    will now begin.
[17:34] ---
    SHI-N-JO! SHI-N-JO! SHI-N-JO! SHI-N-JO!
[17:38] ---
    It's all you, Yukio.
[17:39] ---
    Okay.
[17:44] ---
    This guy is like a damn skyscraper!
[17:47] ---
    Why are all the guys I
    go up against so huge?!
[17:50] ---
    Well, this guy isn't that
    imposing compared to Chiba.
[17:53] ---
    A difference of 7 or 8 centimeters
    sure as hell ain't gonna stop me!
[17:58] ---
    I gotta get my nerves under control!
[18:00] ---
    This a tournament, which means we're out
    if we lose even once!
[18:07] ---
    Yo, Yasuhara! You're facing the wrong way!
[18:10] ---
    This is bad. Everyone's a nervous wreck!
[18:12] ---
    I bet scoring the first basket
    would snap them out of it.
[18:17] ---
    But I can't expect that to happen
    with our Captain like that.
[18:20] ---
    It's a damn shame, since they're all usually
    really smooth on the court.
[18:28] ---
    Shit! I screwed up the timing!
[18:33] ---
    Pass it here!
[18:34] ---
    C'mon! Let's make this first one count!
[18:36] ---
    We're playing man-to-man defense!
[18:38] ---
    Get moving, Yasuhara! Don't
    forget who you're guarding!
[18:41] ---
    It's #7!
[18:44] ---
    Don't get yourself in a panic, Yanagihara.
[18:47] ---
    Just do it like we practiced.
[18:49] ---
    I've taken the court during
    plenty of games, so I'm okay!
[18:52] ---
    Please rest assured and let
    me take over for Kojima!
[18:56] ---
    Remind me, aren't you friends
    with that #4 down there, Chiba?
[18:59] ---
    Yep. We were on the same
    junior basketball team together.
[19:02] ---
    Back then, we both got
    assigned to be point guard.
[19:05] ---
    It's because of Takahashi
    that I hardly ever got put in a real game.
[19:10] ---
    Oh?
[19:11] ---
    Make sure you watch closely, Tokiwa.
[19:13] ---
    There's more undiscovered talent in this world
    than you can shake a stick at.
[19:17] ---
    Not every player out there is
    just plain lucky like we are.
[19:23] ---
    He got by!
[19:24] ---
    So fast... despite being so tall?!
[19:27] ---
    Dammit! His good looks pissed
    me off enough already!
[19:29] ---
    Right down the middle! He's like a flash!
[19:32] ---
    He's just trying to pull defenders off
    and pass to the big guy!
[19:34] ---
    It's so obvious!
[19:36] ---
    Right on the mark!
[19:37] ---
    Nice! It's all mine! It'll be a turnover!
[19:42] ---
    He stopped?! In the middle of it?!
[19:47] ---
    Screen!
[19:48] ---
    Switch, Yasu!
[19:54] ---
    The first basket!
[19:55] ---
    They're so awesome!
[19:56] ---
    That was smooth...
[19:57] ---
    I'm starting to think this
    team might be really good...
[20:00] ---
    Amazing.
[20:01] ---
    They were all so calm and
    recovered really fast.
[20:05] ---
    This is a team that's really in control!
[20:07] ---
    Hey, bro.
[20:09] ---
    Nice job, Yanagihara!
[20:11] ---
    All right! Let's keep this up!
[20:12] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
[20:15] ---
    What is happening?
[20:16] ---
    We just barely started...
    but I can hardly breathe...
[20:20] ---
    That doesn't look good.
[20:21] ---
    They got overwhelmed.
[20:23] ---
    The other team will run away with it.
[20:25] ---
    Okay, time for defense!
[20:27] ---
    Right!
[20:28] ---
    We'll shut them dow-
[20:31] ---
    What the-? Was that a gust of wind?
[20:48] ---
    Hey, Ref.
[20:51] ---
    He hit me just now.
[20:54] ---
    Th-the basket counts! One free-throw!
[20:57] ---
    Huh? What just happened?
[20:59] ---
    He took it all the way alone.
[21:01] ---
    Well damn, this is a shocker.
[21:05] ---
    Another trove of undiscovered talent...
[21:10] ---
    ...was waiting to be found
    right there, of all places.
[21:15] ---
    That... was totally nuts.
[21:17] ---
    I'm so glad he's on OUR team...
[21:19] ---
    I've seen any number of players
    who could be considered good...
[21:24] ---
    But... this guy is...
[21:27] ---
    ...way beyond even that level.
[21:30] ---
    I'll give you two minutes.
[21:33] ---
    Take that time to shake off your nerves.
[21:36] ---
    You better start getting used to this,
    or you'll waste precious stamina.
[21:40] ---
    That's Kite for you.
[21:41] ---
    He's always there to step up
    at the most crucial times.
[21:44] ---
    It's incredible.
[21:46] ---
    Smug jackass. But damn if he ain't reliable!
[21:49] ---
    Hey. I'm totally fine, just so you know.
[21:52] ---
    I wasn't talking about you, bro.
[21:55] ---
    Here they come!
[21:56] ---
    A'ight! We're on defense!
[21:58] ---
    Let's stop 'em cold!
[23:30] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
[23:31] ---
    Next time: "Rush and Rush."
