[00:08] ---
    1,000 shots every day...
[00:10] ---
    He must have lost his mind.
[00:12] ---
    Why the hell would anybody
    need to go that damn far?
[00:15] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[00:16] ---
    Because that kid...
[00:18] ---
    ...lacks the greatest asset that anybody
    can possibly have in basketball: height.
[00:30] ---
    If he practices 1,000 shots every day,
    then that adds up to 7,000 every week.
[00:35] ---
    And 30,000 every month.
[00:38] ---
    Which means, in one year
    that pipsqueak does...
[00:45] ---
    Forget it. Too much math.
[01:03] ---
    Where to go? The land, sea or sky?
[01:06] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
[01:07] ---
    I wanna invite you to come along
[01:10] ---
    The pages of our story have started to turn
[01:17] ---
    If you lose your nerve then recycle it
[01:20] ---
    And let it push you past hesitation
[01:23] ---
    Give and go! With the flow
[01:31] ---
    Instincts that are buried deep
    will always rear their head again
[01:37] ---
    People can't just hide the
    dreams they once dreamed of
[01:44] ---
    Even if these wings can't fly
[01:47] ---
    We want to spread them
    wide and embrace the sky
[01:54] ---
    Becoming the people who we want to be
[01:57] ---
    You never know, the impossible
    could be possible tomorrow
[02:04] ---
    So let's keep up the struggle
[02:08] ---
    Happy go ducky!
[02:20] ---
    Momoharu's Wings
[02:25] ---
    Gotta hurry!
[02:26] ---
    I'm gonna beat everyone to the locker rooms
[02:28] ---
    and start practice before
    they tell me to do anything!
[02:33] ---
    Early duck gets the worm!
[02:39] ---
    What're you doing, man?
[02:41] ---
    That's supposed to be where
    we keep all the balls!
[02:44] ---
    This is better.
[02:45] ---
    I had some guys on the swim team
    fill it with water from the heated pool.
[02:53] ---
    You want to take a dip?
[02:55] ---
    Absolutely not! And please put on some pants!
[03:01] ---
    Jeez... I rushed all the way here
    so I could actually get in some practice.
[03:06] ---
    What is it about basketball
    that you enjoy so much?
[03:10] ---
    What do you mean?
[03:12] ---
    Let's say that you're a guy
    who can't make a shot to save his life.
[03:16] ---
    Do you think it's fun
    for someone like that to play the game?
[03:20] ---
    I think it can be fun for anyone
    if they practice and get good at it.
[03:23] ---
    What if they practiced
    but never got any good?
[03:26] ---
    Then they should practice even more.
[03:29] ---
    We're just going in circles.
[03:31] ---
    To be honest, I'm not sure anybody
    actually needs a reason to play basketball.
[03:40] ---
    Um, hold up for a second!
[03:43] ---
    Where are we going? I'd really
    like to start practice...
[03:47] ---
    Let me simplify what I was
    trying to say earlier.
[03:51] ---
    Take a kid who absolutely hates
    eating carrots, for example.
[03:54] ---
    Uh, okay.
[03:56] ---
    Do you think if he kept eating carrots nonstop,
    that he would start to like them eventually?
[04:02] ---
    That's hard for me to say.
[04:04] ---
    I'm not a big fan of carrots myself.
[04:07] ---
    But frankly...
[04:08] ---
    ...I don't really understand
    the point of the question.
[04:11] ---
    Take a good look.
[04:17] ---
    Momoharu is... actually practicing?
[04:23] ---
    What happened? Why now?
[04:26] ---
    Well, that's simple.
[04:28] ---
    It's 'cuz he saw some dummy
    chow down on 1,000 carrots
[04:31] ---
    like they were the most
    delicious thing in the world.
[04:46] ---
    Momoharu...
[04:51] ---
    Even if he's wrong about them,
[04:53] ---
    I don't think he'll ever come
    around to enjoying carrots.
[05:10] ---
    It'll work out.
[05:11] ---
    For now, what's important is that Momoharu
    found the drive to get back into the game.
[05:15] ---
    Goddammit!
[05:17] ---
    JUST GO IN THE DAMN BASKET,
    YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!
[05:23] ---
    Whoa! That jump!
[05:31] ---
    H-h-he was flying!
[05:34] ---
    The ball didn't go in, but...
[05:37] ---
    ...he jumped so high that half of his arm
    was totally above the rim!
[05:41] ---
    H-he's incredible!
[05:44] ---
    That was so awesome, Momoharu!
[05:50] ---
    Kuzu High really is full of losers.
[05:52] ---
    Last time I saw something
    like you, I flushed it.
[05:56] ---
    I hear you gave some of my
    boys a hard time yesterday,
[05:59] ---
    so we came here to return the favor.
[06:03] ---
    More shitheads from Maru High, huh?
[06:05] ---
    Out of all the places we looked,
    I never expected you'd be on the court.
[06:09] ---
    Feel free to hit yourself
    with the ball some more.
[06:14] ---
    How the mighty have fallen.
    Do you have any street cred left?
[06:17] ---
    You gonna be one of those
    pathetic normies from now on?
[06:21] ---
    Oh man, check it out.
    He's sweating like a pig!
[06:24] ---
    Holy shit, he was actually
    trying to practice for real earlier!
[06:27] ---
    Take my advice and quit wasting your time
    with all this basketball bullshit.
[06:33] ---
    Because you fucking suck at it.
[06:37] ---
    You don't think I already know that?!
[06:39] ---
    Whoa!
[06:40] ---
    With one hand!
[06:43] ---
    Let him go, dipshit!
[06:45] ---
    Take this!
[06:49] ---
    Get wrecked!
[06:54] ---
    That punk bitch... I'm gonna make him bleed.
[06:58] ---
    That's enough, guys! Make some room for me.
[07:01] ---
    Dammit, I'm so pissed off right now.
[07:05] ---
    Punks like you can't just go on
    the straight and narrow, it's a goddamn disgrace.
[07:09] ---
    I'm gonna make sure you
    never play basketball again!
[07:22] ---
    The hell do you think you're doing, squirt?!
[07:25] ---
    Quit making fun of people who
    are trying their hardest!
[07:29] ---
    Huh?
[07:29] ---
    The hell are you going on about?
[07:31] ---
    Calcium
    Bar
[07:31] ---
    Don't you dare laugh at Momoharu again.
    If you do then I swear...
[07:36] ---
    ...I'll put you all six feet under!
[07:42] ---
    Goddammit...
[07:45] ---
    Who the hell just gangs
    up on people like that?
[07:49] ---
    Why don't they ever settle things with words?
[07:51] ---
    Man... are you just stupid or what?
[07:55] ---
    Well, the two of us managed
    to fend all those assholes off.
[07:58] ---
    That makes us the winners in the end.
[08:00] ---
    My ears are ringing like a bell!
[08:02] ---
    What should I do?! Hey? Do you know?!
[08:05] ---
    Don't ask me, moron!
[08:06] ---
    Crap! It won't stop! It's so loud!
[08:09] ---
    Do you hear it too?! There it goes again!
    Gah! This sucks!
[08:13] ---
    Back in middle school...
    I used to play basketball.
[08:17] ---
    But I never made any of my shots.
[08:21] ---
    I screwed up bad in my very first match.
[08:24] ---
    And after that I was regulated
    to just being a sub on the bench.
[08:27] ---
    Even though I was practicing
    so much more than anybody else...
[08:32] ---
    In the end... I quit before
    I even got to my third year.
[08:39] ---
    Just to make it clear...
[08:41] ---
    ...there's no point in
    waiting for me to join you.
[08:44] ---
    I dunno what you think I'm capable of.
[08:47] ---
    But I don't have any talent
    for the game of basketball.
[08:50] ---
    You saw me earlier, right?
    I couldn't make a single damn shot.
[08:54] ---
    This is bad, Momoharu! We gotta get moving
    or else there won't be any time for practice!
[08:59] ---
    Dude, I just told you. Get
    it through your head already.
[09:02] ---
    What?
[09:03] ---
    I'm sorry. My ears have been ringing
    really bad this whole time.
[09:09] ---
    H-he seriously didn't hear a word I said?
[09:16] ---
    Oh, hey! I think it stopped!
[09:18] ---
    I can hear just fine, now!
[09:20] ---
    Okay, Momoharu!
[09:21] ---
    Let's hurry over to the gym.
    I want to see that move of yours one more time!
[09:25] ---
    Huh? What move?
[09:27] ---
    That was the first time I've
    ever seen a dunk in real life!
[09:31] ---
    Just do it one more time!
[09:33] ---
    Like I said earlier... I quit, man.
[09:36] ---
    How does it feel... to actually fly?
[09:39] ---
    Huh?
[09:41] ---
    What kind of view do you see
    when you use your wings?
[09:47] ---
    Please tell me all about it.
[10:03] ---
    Um, Momoharu? Where are you going?
[10:06] ---
    The gym, obviously.
[10:08] ---
    I can dunk a lot better... on those baskets.
[10:15] ---
    Great!
[10:16] ---
    Yahoo~!
[10:25] ---
    Jeez. How can I say no to that?
[10:28] ---
    Well, I've always been a man of my word.
[10:33] ---
    BOYS'
    BASKETBALL
    TEAM
[10:36] ---
    Seriously?
[10:37] ---
    Those bastards from Maru
    High came to pick a fight?
[10:40] ---
    Not a fight! A basketball game!
[10:43] ---
    So they want a round of
    fisticuffs on the court, then.
[10:45] ---
    No! Just a perfectly ordinary
    game of basketball!
[10:48] ---
    Apparently, they put in
    an official request through their coach.
[10:52] ---
    Though I have no idea if their
    team is any good or not.
[10:56] ---
    They turned tail and said...
[10:58] ---
    You'll regret this. We're gonna make you
    a total laughingstock!
[11:03] ---
    Or some shit like that.
[11:06] ---
    They want to make us the
    butt of everybody's joke.
[11:10] ---
    It's true that we're not in any shape
    to compete on a serious level.
[11:15] ---
    But they wouldn't have challenged us
    without knowing that already.
[11:21] ---
    Well, in any case...
[11:23] ---
    I don't want to be thought
    of as a weakling or a coward.
[11:29] ---
    What do you say, guys?
[11:31] ---
    I won't force you into it or anything.
[11:35] ---
    O-okay.
[11:37] ---
    Let's put on a show!
    We'll teach 'em how basketball is really played!
[11:50] ---
    Hey, Yasuhara.
[11:51] ---
    Please drop your knees down a little more.
[11:53] ---
    Stuff it, pipsqueak! I don't
    take any orders from you!
[11:56] ---
    Forget that! Why are we holding
    our arms out like this?
[11:58] ---
    Are we gonna be spinning turntables or what?
[12:01] ---
    It's to put space between
    you and the defense.
[12:03] ---
    Keep your eyes on the opponent!
[12:06] ---
    Oh dear.
[12:08] ---
    Shh. Don't laugh.
[12:11] ---
    Um, so hey. It's totally okay to take it slow,
    but form is really importan-
[12:15] ---
    Screw this.
[12:16] ---
    Huh?
[12:18] ---
    I've had enough.
[12:24] ---
    Well, I figured things
    would turn out this way.
[12:27] ---
    It's not hard to sympathize
    what those guys are feeling right now.
[12:31] ---
    You should try scouting out
    more freshman like yourself.
[12:34] ---
    Somebody out there's gotta
    be down to play basketball.
[12:37] ---
    It'd be easier to form a
    team with members like that.
[12:40] ---
    That's not an option.
[12:43] ---
    Huh?
[12:45] ---
    We're the ones that they
    challenged to a fight,
[12:48] ---
    so we have to be the ones
    who put an end to it.
[12:54] ---
    Yatsui
    Sporting Goods
[12:55] ---
    We appreciate your business.
[13:00] ---
    Yo, Momoharu. Are those
    a new pair of sneakers?
[13:03] ---
    Hey, Chiaki.
[13:05] ---
    I gotta admit, I just can't wrap
    my head around you at all lately.
[13:14] ---
    I thought you weren't interested
    in suffering that pain a second time.
[13:21] ---
    Well, unlike you, I don't live off junk food
    and always get a goodnight's sleep.
[13:27] ---
    I also never eat shit off the ground
    and don't leave my dick hanging out all the time.
[13:30] ---
    That puts me on track to outlive
    your sorry ass by about 20 years.
[13:34] ---
    I've got a long life to live.
[13:36] ---
    It ain't such a bad idea to spend it
    doing things a second time.
[13:40] ---
    Are you really planning to outlast me?!
[13:43] ---
    I thought you promised
    that we'd die together!
[13:45] ---
    You know damn well that's
    not what this is about!
[13:49] ---
    I'll be straight with you.
    That pipsqueak managed to get me excited.
[13:54] ---
    It suddenly hit me.
[13:56] ---
    I might actually give a shit about basketball
    if I'm on a team with him.
[14:05] ---
    Pretty please! I really want
    to play basketball with you guys!
[14:08] ---
    Damn, you're annoying.
    We ain't interested in your stupid game.
[14:12] ---
    Give it up already, pipsqueak.
[14:14] ---
    But even Momoharu is really motivated
    about playing in a real game for once.
[14:17] ---
    Momoharu ain't got nothing to do with it.
[14:19] ---
    Then can you at least tell
    me what the problem is?
[14:28] ---
    I'll clean the locker room again!
    I'll even go and buy any snacks that you want!
[14:31] ---
    And also, in addition
    to that I'll uh... um...
[14:34] ---
    You'll have to do more than that.
    And also, in addition to that I'll uh... um...
[14:35] ---
    Huh?
[14:37] ---
    Play basketball... in front of all the girls
    wearing only your boxers.
[14:43] ---
    If you manage that, we'll play basketball
    or any damn sport you want!
[14:56] ---
    Nice. A perfect fit.
[15:03] ---
    Oh, hey! Momoharu!
[15:04] ---
    Did you buy a new pair of sneakers?
[15:06] ---
    Yep. Gotta have the right
    gear to shoot the sphere.
[15:09] ---
    You're really going all out!
[15:12] ---
    All right. Then it's time for me
    to pull out all the stops, too!
[15:17] ---
    HERE WE GO!
[15:25] ---
    What the hell was I ever
    expecting from this idiot?
[15:30] ---
    He's coming this way!
[15:36] ---
    We said in your boxers!
[15:41] ---
    You better hold up your end
    of the bargain after this!
[15:45] ---
    Yeah... sure...
[15:48] ---
    Now on Sale
    New Snacks and Lunches
[15:50] ---
    UMAIBO
[15:54] ---
    We still got roped into
    playing basketball in the end, huh?
[15:57] ---
    He really put us between
    a rock and a hard place with that stunt.
[16:01] ---
    That's true.
[16:03] ---
    But...
[16:05] ---
    ...he was really small.
[16:09] ---
    KANAGAWA PREFECTURE SHINMARUKO HIGH SCHOOL
[16:12] ---
    Our first opponents.
[16:13] ---
    I figured I would come scout out the school
    and see what kind of team they have, but...
[16:21] ---
    Yikes... They all look like bad news...
[16:25] ---
    Anyways...
[16:26] ---
    ...I really think I should have
    just handled this on my own.
[16:30] ---
    Don't be stupid.
[16:31] ---
    You would've been cornered like a mouse
    at a cat convention if you'd come here alone.
[16:36] ---
    Follow me.
[16:37] ---
    I could part a goddamn sea
    of yakuza if I wanted to.
[16:41] ---
    We're gonna slip right in
    to the middle of the school, no sweat.
[16:45] ---
    The hell are you staring
    at, you piece of shit?!
[16:48] ---
    What toilet did you crawl out of?
[16:50] ---
    Huh? You want me to smash
    your face in, bitch?!
[16:52] ---
    He was right about slipping in...
[16:55] ---
    ...for one of us, anyway.
[17:02] ---
    What should I do?
[17:03] ---
    It looks like I can sit in on their practice,
[17:05] ---
    but I'm totally dead if they
    find out I'm from Kuzu High.
[17:09] ---
    Is something wrong?
[17:12] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea!
    I'm definitely not a spy or anything!
[17:15] ---
    My pet elephant just so happened
    to run off in this general direction!
[17:18] ---
    "Elephant"?
[17:19] ---
    That's a pretty weird joke.
[17:21] ---
    You're one of the new freshmen, right?
[17:24] ---
    Hoping to join the team?
[17:25] ---
    No, uh, well...
[17:27] ---
    Basketball must be tough at your height.
[17:29] ---
    I admire your guts.
[17:31] ---
    Come on in and take a closer look.
[17:33] ---
    He's not really the type I was expecting...
[17:37] ---
    Welcome to the Maru High basketball team.
[17:48] ---
    Hey defense! What the hell was that?!
[17:51] ---
    S-sorry!
[17:55] ---
    You're late, Tokiwa.
[17:56] ---
    Sorry, I got stuck in class.
[17:59] ---
    All of the guys on the court are huge...
[18:02] ---
    Say Chiba, it looks like we have
    a lot of hopeful newbies this year.
[18:07] ---
    Yeah, assuming they're any good.
[18:09] ---
    Our team doesn't just accept
    everybody who wants to play.
[18:16] ---
    Hey. You and you over there.
[18:19] ---
    Also, you and you.
[18:20] ---
    You, too. Come up front.
[18:22] ---
    Even me?
[18:25] ---
    We don't need you here. Get lost.
[18:28] ---
    Huh?
[18:31] ---
    Please wait a second!
[18:32] ---
    I've been doing basketball
    since middle school,
[18:34] ---
    and I was a starter on my team for 2 years.
[18:37] ---
    Okay, how tall are you?
[18:39] ---
    168 centimeters, sir...
[18:41] ---
    Is that all?
[18:43] ---
    You're suited for a junior team, at best.
[18:46] ---
    Listen up.
[18:49] ---
    Anybody that's under 170 centimeters
    has no place on a high school court.
[18:54] ---
    Basketball is a sport where
    your height determines everything.
[18:58] ---
    Putting shrimps like you on the court
    does nothing but waste precious space.
[19:02] ---
    Are you serious?
    What difference does 2 centimeters make?!
[19:05] ---
    I don't think that's reason
    enough to reject me!
[19:06] ---
    "What difference does it make"?
    I don't think that's reason enough to reject me!
[19:07] ---
    "What difference does it make"?
[19:09] ---
    That kind of thinking is
    what losers are made of!
[19:12] ---
    Calm down, Chiba.
[19:14] ---
    You're burning calories that
    you should save for practice.
[19:19] ---
    Anyway, we don't need
    any shrimps on our team and that's final.
[19:22] ---
    Now hurry up and get off the court!
[19:25] ---
    And the rest of you should stop standing around!
    Get back to practice!
[19:27] ---
    Yes, sir!
[19:35] ---
    I told you to keep your
    eyes on the damn ball!
[19:37] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[19:41] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[19:52] ---
    It's that kid...
[19:53] ---
    That shorty is totally
    challenging Tokiwa to stop him!
[19:57] ---
    What an idiot!
[19:58] ---
    Tokiwa! Shut him down!
[20:00] ---
    I'm already on it.
[20:02] ---
    He's really fast on his feet.
[20:05] ---
    But...
[20:06] ---
    ...at that height...
[20:10] ---
    ...the basket is still way out of his reach!
[20:16] ---
    A double clutch?!
[20:19] ---
    Such a quick reaction in mid-air...
[20:22] ---
    He changed the ball position that smoothly?!
[20:27] ---
    Ouch!
[20:31] ---
    That hurt...
[20:35] ---
    I think putting in effort
    is all it takes to make up for being short!
[20:39] ---
    Not bad, kid.
[20:41] ---
    Hey brat! Are you trying
    to pick a fight or what?!
[20:44] ---
    You're the ones who picked a fight with us.
[20:46] ---
    Huh?
[20:48] ---
    Our team is looking forward
    to seeing you on the court!
[20:52] ---
    "Our team"?
[20:53] ---
    Is he talking about our match with Kuzu High?
[20:56] ---
    Then is that brat part
    of the Kuzu High team?!
[21:03] ---
    Seriously? A punk from Kuzu High?
[21:06] ---
    Kuzu High is treading on our turf?
[21:08] ---
    That's the one! Don't let him get away!
[21:11] ---
    Let's make a punching bag out of him!
[21:16] ---
    You've got a lot of balls pulling
    a stunt like that, brat.
[21:20] ---
    Tell me something, Chiba.
[21:22] ---
    Why did you accept a match against Kuzu High,
    just because the seniors wanted it?
[21:28] ---
    You know that our team is aiming
    to compete in the inter-high tournament.
[21:33] ---
    We have better things to do
    than waste time playing against Kuzu High.
[21:36] ---
    Truth be told, there's a certain guy
    who piqued my interest.
[21:56] ---
    It didn't matter how long
    you stared up at the sky
[21:59] ---
    You always said that you
    would never be able to fly
[22:02] ---
    One night I cried wondering
    how long it would take
[22:06] ---
    Until I could finally reach you with my hands
[22:09] ---
    Eventually I got used to just running away
[22:13] ---
    Until the day I realized that was a weakness
[22:16] ---
    So let's start it all over, right now
[22:23] ---
    The things precious to us
    were always close at hand
[22:29] ---
    We are never completely alone
    at any time in our lives
[22:35] ---
    The truth is that you can
    fly, wherever you want
[22:38] ---
    Spreading your wings to go
    far higher than anyone else
[22:42] ---
    The more tears that you shed
[22:47] ---
    Then the stronger you become
[22:48] ---
    Let's use those wings
    to travel the world over
[22:52] ---
    And find a path to a future
    that no one knows about
[22:55] ---
    Always, always, always
[23:00] ---
    Walking onwards, all of us together
[23:15] ---
    Yo, where the hell did you get off to?
[23:17] ---
    W-we're in big trouble, Momoharu!
[23:24] ---
    Yeah, I can see that.
[23:25] ---
    That's not what I mean!
[23:26] ---
    The team that we're playing against
    might be way out of our league!
[23:30] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
    Next Time: First Flight
[23:31] ---
    Next time: "First Flight."
