    REASON FOR LIVING
[01:38] ---
    Since Shinjo put in their #5, there's no longer
    a big difference in height.
[01:42] ---
    It's an even match.
[01:44] ---
    No, Kuzu High is actually at
    a bit of a disadvantage now.
[01:52] ---
    #6 is playing in high post!
[01:53] ---
    He's gonna put his height advantage to use!
[01:55] ---
    There's not much that #15
    can even do on defense now.
[02:01] ---
    Give him cover, Mokichi!
[02:08] ---
    He's quick!
[02:12] ---
    Kojima!
[02:20] ---
    Whoa! A fadeaway!
[02:24] ---
    Just go in, dammit!
[02:25] ---
    He shot from that position?!
[02:29] ---
    Now's our chance! Get running!
[02:36] ---
    Shinjo got back fast!
[02:37] ---
    I can't believe they can hustle like that
    so late in the game!
[02:40] ---
    Kuzu High can't rush through!
[02:42] ---
    Sorry 'bout that.
[02:43] ---
    No prob!
[02:45] ---
    Koji, go back to the bench
    if you can't deliver.
[02:48] ---
    What did you even come out on the court for?
[02:51] ---
    I thought you were putting your basketball career
    on the line for this, man.
[02:54] ---
    It didn't take you very
    long to change your tune.
[02:57] ---
    Huh?
[02:58] ---
    Dude, you made me promise not to wreck myself
    just a couple of minutes ago!
[03:01] ---
    Did I really?
[03:02] ---
    Good grief. But you know, this is exactly why
    I'm glad I stuck with you.
[03:08] ---
    C'mon! Time for defense!
[03:10] ---
    I'll rip the ass hairs right
    off anybody who screws up!
[03:14] ---
    I get it. I'm worthless out on the court
    if all I do is stand around.
[03:20] ---
    This is a warzone!
[03:22] ---
    And out here, scoring
    points means everything.
[03:26] ---
    That's the value of a player!
[03:28] ---
    I can't get him to budge!
[03:29] ---
    Too much weight... no! He's
    just really damn tenacious!
[03:36] ---
    What?!
[03:38] ---
    There it is! A chance for a fast break!
[03:42] ---
    I've gotta stop him!
[03:45] ---
    Letting a one-man fast break happen now
    would give them a huge boost!
[03:52] ---
    He slipped through like it was nothing!
[03:55] ---
    Fat chance!
[04:00] ---
    All it takes is a single
    squeak from your sneakers...
[04:04] ---
    ...for me to tell exactly where you are!
[04:06] ---
    Kojima!
[04:08] ---
    Chill, I got this.
[04:12] ---
    My plays out on the court...
[04:14] ---
    ...will prove my worth.
[04:18] ---
    And show everyone what exactly...
[04:22] ---
    ...my reason for living is!
[04:27] ---
    It went in!
[04:29] ---
    A three-pointer!
[04:31] ---
    This is gonna leave an impact!
[04:33] ---
    Koji!
[04:34] ---
    Yeah!
[04:38] ---
    Shinjo is really hitting their stride again!
[04:41] ---
    And they're still quick
    to switch back to defense!
[04:43] ---
    But it looks like Kuzu High
    is starting to struggle!
[04:45] ---
    All the strain from the first half
    is starting to take its toll!
[04:48] ---
    We really can do this!
[04:49] ---
    That three-pointer is gonna rally us
    towards making a comeback!
[04:53] ---
    We can start the last quarter
    with a single digit difference!
[04:59] ---
    A three-pointer?!
[05:00] ---
    What?!
[05:09] ---
    He sunk it!
[05:11] ---
    An eye for an eye!
[05:14] ---
    Damn, for real?
[05:15] ---
    He didn't even watch his shot
    and just went back to defense.
[05:18] ---
    Such confidence.
[05:20] ---
    He's really amazing!
[05:22] ---
    Never let your opponents
    think they stand a chance.
[05:25] ---
    That's a fundamental rule in any sport,
[05:28] ---
    but its impact is most evident
    in the game of basketball.
[05:31] ---
    He's really something if that
    was his goal with that shot.
[05:34] ---
    It cost us blood, sweat, and tears to get those points
    and he just took them away...
[05:38] ---
    H-he's a demon!
[05:42] ---
    Good job, man.
[05:45] ---
    Thanks!
[05:46] ---
    Kanagawa School of Medical Science
    Secondary Hospital
[05:48] ---
    What? Are you sure?
[05:50] ---
    Apparently Dr. Hayashi is off-duty today,
     so he's free to accompany you
[05:53] ---
    while you're outside the hospital.
[05:55] ---
    Hooray!
[05:57] ---
    Just how old do you think you are?!
    Don't go jumping around like some little kid!
[06:01] ---
    I can't help it, I'm so happy!
[06:03] ---
    Oh! I've got to put some makeup on!
[06:08] ---
    Huh? Where's Mrs. Kurumatani?
[06:10] ---
    Bathroom. Needs makeup, apparently.
[06:14] ---
    More importantly, I'm
    concerned she won't be able
[06:16] ---
    to find a spot to watch
    the game at the arena.
[06:18] ---
    Oh, that's a good point.
[06:25] ---
    Hello, is that you, Sis? What's up?
[06:27] ---
    Madoka, where are you right now?
[06:30] ---
    Where do you think? At the
    arena, watching Sora's game.
[06:32] ---
    Bingo!
[06:34] ---
    We're about to head over there right now
    with Mrs. Kurumatani.
[06:37] ---
    What?!
[06:38] ---
    We need you to secure a place
    where she can sit and watch the game from.
[06:42] ---
    I'm sure you know, but it needs to be...
[06:43] ---
    A spot where Sora won't see her?
[06:45] ---
    Exactly.
[06:47] ---
    Uh, then I think the second floor
    by the girls' court will work.
[06:51] ---
    Great! We'll be there
    in about 5 to 6 minutes.
[06:53] ---
    Wait... 5 or 6 minutes?
    The last quarter is already about to start!
[07:14] ---
    In goes another one!
[07:17] ---
    We can't catch up at all!
    They just keep hitting us right back!
[07:21] ---
    We're gonna speed things up!
[07:22] ---
    It's hopeless, we can never
    win the game like this!
[07:26] ---
    What? Don't start with the doom and gloom!
[07:27] ---
    He's right! We still have a chance!
[07:29] ---
    Pulling off a comeback at this
    point would take a miracle!
[07:35] ---
    Pass it here!
[07:37] ---
    We're not done by a long
    shot, you pipsqueaks!
[07:39] ---
    You have no idea how many years
    we've endured through just to play this match!
[07:45] ---
    Fighting against odds like
    these is a walk in the park!
[07:51] ---
    They're doubling down!
[07:53] ---
    Shinjo hasn't given up just yet!
[08:00] ---
    A turnaround jumper, seriously?
[08:02] ---
    That can't be good for his knee at all.
[08:04] ---
    Hustle and get your asses on defense!
[08:06] ---
    Roku, get on #15! Don't
    let him shoot any threes!
[08:09] ---
    They're moving to shut down the little guy!
[08:11] ---
    It's box and 1!
[08:17] ---
    Bonehead! You're not tall enough to...
[08:20] ---
    It's a screen!
[08:23] ---
    Thanks to that, it's a lot
    easier to get into the paint.
[08:38] ---
    A scoop shot that went above the block...
[08:44] ---
    Oh-ho, listen to that crowd!
[08:47] ---
    Surprising to have such a thrilling first round.
    Must be nice to be young.
[08:59] ---
    Is that you, Horie?
[09:01] ---
    Sorry, you're Kurmatani
    now. Old habits die hard.
[09:05] ---
    Sakamaki...?
[09:07] ---
    A friend of yours?
[09:08] ---
    Uh, yeah. From back in college...
[09:11] ---
    Yohito Sakamaki, 39 years old.
[09:13] ---
    I'm a teacher and coach of the basketball
    team at Yokohama Taiei High School.
[09:17] ---
    Are you cosplaying a nurse,
    Miss? It's quite stunning.
[09:20] ---
    Huh?
[09:21] ---
    Don't be rude, Sakamaki!
[09:26] ---
    Oh, right... I had forgotten. My apologies.
[09:33] ---
    Hey, Sis!
[09:35] ---
    Madoka!
[09:37] ---
    Hello there, Ms. Yuka!
[09:38] ---
    Oh, you've got makeup on today!
[09:40] ---
    Good afternoon. Sorry
    to budge in on your fun.
[09:44] ---
    Not at all. Anyway, we should hurry!
    The last quarter just got started!
[09:49] ---
    I see. So that shorty must be...
[09:52] ---
    I had them set up a chair on
    the second floor for you...
[09:54] ---
    oh, but there are stairs to climb.
[09:57] ---
    I can handle stairs just fine.
[09:58] ---
    You should just have Dr.
    Hayashi carry you up, dear.
[10:01] ---
    Huh?
[10:02] ---
    I'll be okay, just trust me.
[10:04] ---
    I really don't want to draw any attention.
    It would ruin everyone's focus on the game.
[10:09] ---
    I've got you.
[10:11] ---
    Huh?
[10:14] ---
    Quit it, Sakamaki! You're
    turning this into a big show!
[10:18] ---
    You're just as tiny as you used to be.
[10:20] ---
    Now everybody's looking at us!
    Just put me down already!
[10:23] ---
    C'mon, please!
[10:25] ---
    Let me help with this.
[10:27] ---
    Back when we all heard
    about you falling ill...
[10:30] ---
    it hurt that there wasn't
    a thing we could help with.
[10:35] ---
    How is everybody doing?
[10:37] ---
    They're all living it up.
[10:38] ---
    If they knew this is where you were,
     they'd fly out in an instant.
[10:44] ---
    How's this? Can you see?
[10:46] ---
    Yeah. My eyesight's been the
    only thing that's held up.
[10:56] ---
    Ah... this atmosphere really
    brings so much back to me...
[11:02] ---
    KUZURYU
[11:14] ---
    Timeout for the blue team!
[11:18] ---
    A-are you okay, Mokichi?!
[11:20] ---
    Yeah, well, not really...
[11:22] ---
    Let's bench you for now.
[11:24] ---
    Okay, Yasuhara. You're going in for him.
[11:27] ---
    What a waste of talent.
    He can't even run for half the game!
[11:31] ---
    But I'll admit, our team
    has some serious firepower
[11:33] ---
    when the 5 of us are out at the same time.
[11:37] ---
    7 minutes left now...
[11:38] ---
    Provided nothing disastrous happens,
[11:41] ---
    it should be nearly impossible
    for them to catch up.
[11:44] ---
    So, there's a 15 point lead right now.
[11:46] ---
    What?!
[11:47] ---
    15 whole points? Turning it around
    at this point would be really tough.
[11:51] ---
    But a lot can be done with 7 minutes!
[11:53] ---
    Um, actually Ms. Yuka, the team
    with the lead right now is Sora's team.
[11:57] ---
    Huh? Really?!
[11:59] ---
    Well, that's downright amazing!
    Sora's really doing it!
[12:02] ---
    Why'd she assume they were losing?
[12:05] ---
    I didn't pick up on the fact
    that the shorty was your boy.
[12:08] ---
    So, his name is Sora?
[12:10] ---
    Now that I think about it,
    he must have inherited
[12:12] ---
    that excellent shooting sense from you.
[12:15] ---
    But honestly, it's going to be hard for him
    to keep playing high school basketball.
[12:18] ---
    From what I hear, aside from
    the 5 that were just playing,
[12:21] ---
    the rest of his team are all amateurs.
[12:23] ---
    Even if Sora had ended up
    attending a different school,
[12:26] ---
    I highly doubt he'd ever
    make the starting lineup.
[12:28] ---
    I know this is kind of hard to
    hear, but it's just the reality.
[12:34] ---
    Never once...
[12:35] ---
    ...have I forced Sora to play
    basketball in his entire life.
[12:39] ---
    He got his hands on a ball
    before I even knew it
[12:42] ---
    and somehow got good all on his own.
[12:45] ---
    Of course, I did teach him
    a few things on occasion.
[12:48] ---
    But none of that ever happened
    when I was an active player.
[12:51] ---
    Well, what I'm trying to say is-
[12:54] ---
    I already know.
[12:56] ---
    But this was Sora's choice to make.
[12:58] ---
    Down the road, no matter what outcome
    lies in store for him,
[13:02] ---
    I believe that he'll have no regrets.
[13:05] ---
    The timeout is now over!
[13:07] ---
    A'ight! You boys better
    keep your shit together!
[13:12] ---
    He's out of gas, eh? For Shigeyoshi,
    that was a long stint.
[13:17] ---
    Okay, take it slow and relax
    and just leave the rest to us!
[13:20] ---
    Though, there's no way we're
    going to lose this one!
[13:23] ---
    No... it's not over yet...
[13:31] ---
    Turnover!
[13:33] ---
    Hurry and switch over to defen-!
[13:35] ---
    There he goes!
[13:36] ---
    I dropped my guard!
[13:38] ---
    Shit, these guys haven't slowed
    down even a little bit!
[13:41] ---
    We put it back! Our counterattack begins!
[13:44] ---
    As I figured... this is about when
    the difference really starts to show.
[13:48] ---
    Our weakest quality right now is stamina.
[13:52] ---
    It doesn't matter how hard we've continued to train,
    it's still only been a month.
[13:57] ---
    Compared to that, although Shinjo
    has some rookies on their team,
[14:01] ---
    they've at least been practicing
    for upwards of a year.
[14:04] ---
    The difference between those who weathered
    through that experience or not...
[14:08] ---
    is incredibly vast.
[14:13] ---
    There he goes!
[14:13] ---
    Chance! Chance!
[14:16] ---
    Now Natsume is...!
[14:21] ---
    Nice assist out there, Takahashi!
[14:24] ---
    Nabe, it's time for you to go in.
[14:26] ---
    I'm ready!
[14:28] ---
    Having to run so excessively
    in the first half
[14:30] ---
    and then having to put
    Shigeyoshi in so early...
[14:32] ---
    ...I didn't expect any of it!
[14:37] ---
    This time for sure!
[14:40] ---
    Hiyah!
[14:43] ---
    D-damn, I'm awesome!
[14:45] ---
    So this is the power of basketball...
    are you watching, Mom?
[14:54] ---
    If you're gonna get that much air
    then just dunk it, you dunce!
[14:57] ---
    Our only saving grace right now...
[14:59] ---
    ...is that those two are
    still in tip-top shape!
[15:03] ---
    Screen!
[15:06] ---
    So fast!
[15:12] ---
    It went in!
[15:15] ---
    That #15 is wicked cool!
[15:21] ---
    Shit... shit, shit!
[15:24] ---
    Captain, give me the ball.
[15:27] ---
    Kazushi...
[15:28] ---
    Don't get hasty, things will
    definitely shift in our favor.
[15:31] ---
    With their #12 on the
    bench, this is our chance.
[15:34] ---
    Koji, I want you to shoot
    as many threes as you can!
[15:36] ---
    Okay.
[15:37] ---
    That afro guy is big,
    but it doesn't seem like he can jump much.
[15:42] ---
    Huh?!
[15:44] ---
    What the hell are you doing, Kazushi?!
[15:45] ---
    Wha...?
[15:46] ---
    Kashiwagi?!
[15:48] ---
    Heh. My time to shine already, eh?
[15:50] ---
    Nabe Defens-!
[15:54] ---
    Dumbass! Your stupid poses
    aren't going to scare him away!
[16:08] ---
    Sweet, he took the charge!
[16:10] ---
    Technical foul! White team, #7!
[16:14] ---
    Huh?
[16:16] ---
    Why the hell was that a technical foul?!
    Ain't that just a bad call?!
[16:20] ---
    It was an offensive charge
    no matter how you look at it!
[16:25] ---
    Kuzu High's #7 must have
    made himself fall back
[16:28] ---
    before Shinjo actually went for the shot.
[16:31] ---
    They've got a huge lead.
    There's no need to try and draw a foul like that.
[16:37] ---
    It didn't look like the big guy
    was trying to draw any fouls to me...
[16:42] ---
    It's hard to explain. I think
    he just froze up for a second.
[16:46] ---
    I've seen the same thing happen often
    with smaller players who try to go for a block.
[16:51] ---
    I get it. He didn't draw back on purpose
    to make it look like he took the charge.
[16:57] ---
    He got scared and pulled back
    after seeing the opponent coming at him.
[17:01] ---
    Chiaki...
[17:02] ---
    Oh, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.
[17:05] ---
    Don't worry about it?
    You realize this is your fourth foul, right?
[17:09] ---
    Really? I fouled?
[17:11] ---
    What the-? Has he lost his mind?
[17:14] ---
    We can't afford to let
    Chiaki get ejected now.
[17:17] ---
    Let's buy time while
    we've still got the lead.
[17:20] ---
    Use up all 24 seconds on the shot clock.
[17:23] ---
    This is bad.
[17:24] ---
    I never imagined that he'd get a technical
    at such a critical point of the game!
[17:32] ---
    What the hell is happening?
    What's wrong with me?
[17:37] ---
    Those eyes... I've seen them before.
[17:41] ---
    Please stop taking things
    into your own hands!
[17:42] ---
    It worked out in the end
    since the other team got a technical,
[17:45] ---
    but rough play like that...
    it just doesn't sit well with me at all!
[17:49] ---
    Things were finally going our way!
[17:51] ---
    Do you understand the position
    we're in right now?!
[17:54] ---
    Cut it out.
[17:55] ---
    Please let us have our say!
[17:56] ---
    Honestly, Kashiwagi is always
    just a selfish jerk during
[17:59] ---
    practice and he never even
    helps mop up the court!
[18:02] ---
    Stop, that's enough.
[18:04] ---
    I've kept my mouth shut for so long, but...
[18:07] ---
    ...this might be the last match
    that Takahashi and Kojim-!
[18:08] ---
    I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!
[18:14] ---
    If you really think that Kazushi
    was just being rough on that last play...
[18:19] ---
    ...then none of you should
    be playing basketball!
[18:22] ---
    Shooter, come to the line!
[18:23] ---
    Uh-oh, he's really feline angry now.
[18:26] ---
    Kojima...
[18:27] ---
    You guys are lucky you started early.
[18:29] ---
    The truth is, it's a real challenge
    to start playing basketball in high school.
[18:33] ---
    Because there's only 3 years
    to learn all the stuff
[18:36] ---
    the rest of us have practiced
    since grade school.
[18:39] ---
    That's rough on anybody.
[18:42] ---
    Did you guys know? When you're off
    playing at the arcade after practice,
[18:46] ---
    the lights in the gym stay on the whole time.
[18:50] ---
    And did you know somebody
    wakes up extra early to
[18:52] ---
    mop the gym floor before
    any of us even gets there?
[18:56] ---
    He's a guy who admires a certain
    phenomenal player on his team
[18:59] ---
    and spends every day hopelessly
    working his ass off to try and catch up to him.
[19:03] ---
    I know who that idiot is.
[19:08] ---
    So you tell me. Who on this team
    is working the hardest to assure that we win?
[19:14] ---
    Throw-in with blue team in possession!
[19:17] ---
    Don't get hasty, things will
    definitely shift in our favor.
[19:21] ---
    "We ain't got time to wait for that."
[19:23] ---
    I know exactly what you wanted
    to say to me, Kazushi.
[19:26] ---
    And you were totally right.
[19:28] ---
    This is not the time to screw ourselves over
    by waiting around.
[19:31] ---
    That last play you made
    undoubtedly tilted the momentum in our favor.
[19:35] ---
    And if we want to gain
    complete control over it,
[19:37] ---
    then we HAVE to score this next basket!
[19:40] ---
    No, just sinking a shot isn't going to be enough!
    Put yourself in the opponent's shoes!
[19:45] ---
    What are they afraid of the most right now?
[19:48] ---
    The only answer is having their lead
    cut as short as it can possibly go!
[19:59] ---
    He nailed it!
[20:01] ---
    Now it's a 9 point gap!
    Down to single digits!
[20:04] ---
    They went from setting up that free-throw
    to sinking a three...
[20:07] ---
    that's 4 points in just a few seconds!
[20:10] ---
    That was a risky move just now.
[20:12] ---
    If he missed, it would have totally ruined
    their one-in-a-million chance at a comeback.
[20:16] ---
    But as a result, the momentum
    has totally shifted in Shinjo's direction.
[20:19] ---
    Thanks a lot, Kazushi.
[20:22] ---
    I ain't losing in our first damn game.
[20:28] ---
    That's right, I remember...
[20:39] ---
    Chiaki!
[20:45] ---
    What the hell do you think you're doing?
    That dog is mine!
[20:48] ---
    Make your peace already, Momoharu.
    You know we can't keep pets at home.
[20:54] ---
    Stray dogs are totally germ-ridden.
    For all we know, this one might be sick already.
[21:00] ---
    If that led to problems with any patients
    at our parent's clinic, th-
[21:05] ---
    I know you want to keep
    it just as bad as I do!
[21:08] ---
    Why do you always puss out
    at the most important times?!
[21:10] ---
    You promised to help me convince
    them to let us keep it!
[21:14] ---
    You damn liar!
[21:15] ---
    Whatever! I'm NOT going to give up!
[21:18] ---
    Those eyes belong to...
[21:20] ---
    ...people with something precious to protect.
[21:23] ---
    Pure and resolute eyes.
[21:27] ---
    They're the one thing on Earth
    that I just can't deal with.
[21:47] ---
    Without Chiaki or Mokichi,
    our defense under the basket is totally hollow!
[21:51] ---
    We're in real deep shit here, Nanao!
[21:53] ---
    Just a little longer. If we
    can just keep holding out...!
