It's not wrong
[00:07] ---
So that one step you took
and endured today is
[00:10] ---
The sound of a footstep
that radiates brilliantly
[00:16] ---
It's not wrong
[00:20] ---
So the world you blindly
jumped into must be right
[00:27] ---
The plans I held for the
future when I was greedy
[00:29] ---
Ahiru no Sora
[00:34] ---
Was soiled by my days of
attentiveness to others
[00:39] ---
Those that sought the
same dream have long ago
[00:43] ---
Started on new paths
[00:46] ---
Sighs color the sky a dark gray
[00:52] ---
But it's not the end yet
[00:58] ---
Today must be the day, so I pray as I sing
[01:07] ---
It's not wrong
[01:10] ---
So that one step you took
and endured today is
[01:13] ---
The sound of a footstep
that radiates brilliantly
[01:19] ---
It's not wrong
[01:22] ---
The world you blindly
jumped into must be right
[01:44] ---
Hey, Mom...
[01:45] ---
Hey... long time no see.
[01:51] ---
Are you... doing okay?
[01:54] ---
Huh? Oh, I'm totally fine.
[01:59] ---
Everyone's making a big deal over nothing.
[02:11] ---
Anyway, I'm glad you came.
It must've been a long ride.
[02:18] ---
What about Dad?
[02:20] ---
He's on his way here right now.
[02:26] ---
What are you standing
around for? Take a seat.
[02:34] ---
What is it? Are you nervous?
[02:37] ---
I first came to this hospital
around the end of October,
[02:41] ---
so it's been almost exactly half a year.
[02:45] ---
Have you gotten a little taller?
[02:47] ---
Of course, by like 30 centimeters.
[02:51] ---
Are you making sure to eat properly?
[02:53] ---
Yeah.
[02:54] ---
You haven't gotten any cavities?
[02:56] ---
Nope.
[02:57] ---
Your hair has gotten too long.
[02:59] ---
Have Granny cut it for you.
[03:01] ---
I don't wanna.
[03:06] ---
So, I see you've got on a uniform.
[03:10] ---
Your team had a game today, right?
[03:13] ---
Did you get to play?
[03:14] ---
C'mon, Mom! Don't make it sound like
I'm always a sub on the bench.
[03:18] ---
Of course I played! Right from the start.
[03:21] ---
Wow, that's very impressive!
[03:23] ---
The first jersey number I was given
on my team was 15, too.
[03:27] ---
Really?
[03:30] ---
Seeing it takes me back.
[03:33] ---
So tell me, how did the match turn out?
[03:37] ---
Well...
[03:54] ---
We...
[03:56] ---
We won, obviously!
[04:01] ---
Congratulations.
[04:03] ---
You finally did it!
[04:05] ---
But you know, it's just one win,
so we can't celebrate too much yet.
[04:10] ---
Jeez, you're always such a party pooper.
[04:13] ---
So what exactly happened?
Fill me in on the details.
[04:17] ---
Um, so...
[04:26] ---
You're still using those?
Surely they're too small for you by now.
[04:30] ---
No, my feet haven't grown at all...
[04:34] ---
You really are stuck being short, huh?
[04:39] ---
Hey, Sora?
[04:40] ---
What?
[04:41] ---
Please look at me straight.
[04:50] ---
The truth is... I've always wanted
to apologize to you about something.
[04:57] ---
About what?
[05:09] ---
I'm sorry I couldn't bring you into this world
with a bigger body.
[05:22] ---
Forgive me...
[05:25] ---
Huh? Don't be silly, Mom.
[05:34] ---
Just listen, you won't believe this!
[05:36] ---
In the game today, the other team had 3 guys
who were 190 centimeters tall!
[05:40] ---
Isn't that crazy?
[05:42] ---
They really were a handful, for sure!
[05:47] ---
But... I held my own.
[05:50] ---
I dodged around all the big guys
and drove right past them.
[05:53] ---
I even scored my own baskets.
[05:56] ---
Although, I wasn't able
to do as much on defense,
[05:58] ---
but I ran like hell to make up for it.
[06:01] ---
It's true they all looked down on me at first,
but I kept at it,
[06:04] ---
and it felt good when my moves
changed the looks on their faces.
[06:08] ---
I told you before, yeah?
[06:10] ---
About Momoharu, Chiaki, and the rest.
[06:13] ---
They're amazing, right? We're
all good teammates now!
[06:17] ---
That's not all, I also got to play against
many people who I came to respect.
[06:21] ---
I think it's because I'm so short that I've gotten
a lot of attention from other players.
[06:25] ---
And it's definitely my shortness
that pushed me to keep playing.
[06:29] ---
So really... I'm being honest here...
[06:37] ---
I've always... wanted to thank you
for everything that you've done, Mom!
[06:46] ---
Did you catch the match between
Kuzu High and Shinjo earlier today?
[06:49] ---
Yeah, I did!
[06:50] ---
That was so crazy, right? What a game...

[07:07] ---
Gah... and I was so close!
[07:11] ---
Quit being so mopey, guys.
[07:13] ---
Nothing is gonna change
the fact that we lost.
[07:16] ---
Nabe! Let's get a game going. C'mon!
[07:18] ---
Sorry, I ain't in the
mood for games right now.
[07:21] ---
It hurts thinking about all
that practice we did...
[07:24] ---
For real, I never imagined
we'd lose in our first game...
[07:27] ---
"All that practice"? But
how much was it, really?
[07:30] ---
One month is still just one month.
[07:32] ---
You didn't do any more or any less than that.
[07:34] ---
If you ask me, that kind of attitude
is the biggest reason we lost.
[07:38] ---
Okay then, smartass.
[07:40] ---
Tell me what good loafing around
[07:41] ---
and playing games
is gonna do after a loss like this?
[07:44] ---
You're not getting my point.
[07:46] ---
I'm saying that no good comes from tormenting
[07:48] ---
ourselves over what's already been done.
[07:50] ---
Seriously, man... this is the part of you
that pisses me off the most.

[07:54] ---
It's like you've just totally
forgotten that you were the one
[07:57] ---
who got ejected with 5 fouls!
[08:00] ---
You're too damn easy-going, dude!
[08:01] ---
Whoa, now. That's enough, you two.
[08:05] ---
I think what Chiaki's saying
makes sense and all, but-
[08:08] ---
But what, exactly?
[08:10] ---
Nothing...
[08:12] ---
But logic doesn't overcome feelings.
[08:15] ---
Even if it was only a month,
[08:17] ---
we poured our hearts into
practice and not having
[08:19] ---
anything to show for it really hurts, man.
[08:22] ---
This is the first time in our lives
we've dedicated ourselves to something so much.
[08:26] ---
If we'd nailed at least one shot or made a slick drive,
then it wouldn't be so bad.
[08:32] ---
I feel you. All I really did was cause the mess
that led to Chiaki getting a technical.
[08:37] ---
DRAGON BALL
[08:37] ---
And let's be real, we might have won
if that hadn't happened.
[08:44] ---
Sorry. I shouldn't have snapped like that.
[09:05] ---
Thanks for the game!
[09:06] ---
Thanks!
[09:07] ---
Thank you!
[09:08] ---
Yo! You were really incredible, dude!
[09:11] ---
To be honest, I was on the verge
of giving up until you got ejected.
[09:16] ---
Actually, your team is full of
great players I've never seen.
[09:19] ---
What've you been doing all this time?
[09:22] ---
Feels like a waste, but I understand.
[09:24] ---
It's hard to compete with a team
of just freshmen and sophomores.
[09:27] ---
Anyways, awesome game. Thanks!
[09:29] ---
You're welcome...
[09:32] ---
The game on A court that went
into overtime has now ended.
[09:36] ---
The winner was Shinjotowa Academy.
[09:40] ---
What've you been doing all this time?
[09:49] ---
Kaname! Kaname?
[09:51] ---
I'm home.
[09:53] ---
What's going on?
[09:55] ---
I guess his team lost their match today
[09:57] ---
and he's been sulking about it ever since.
[10:00] ---
Okay, so why not just leave him be?
[10:02] ---
Huh?
[10:03] ---
Basketball isn't the type
of sport that players can
[10:06] ---
expect to win by relying
on outdated skills, right?
[10:09] ---
If Kaname is actually serious
about taking it up again,
[10:13] ---
then no matter what happens on the court...
[10:17] ---
They fumbled!
[10:21] ---
...he's going to have to overcome those problems
with his own hands.
[10:29] ---
We were basically even in terms of skill...
[10:31] ---
No, actually, I'd say
we were a little better.
[10:35] ---
The only thing we really lacked was stamina,
[10:38] ---
but we knew that from the outset.
[10:42] ---
I wasn't able to control
the team well, and let them
[10:45] ---
get caught up in our
opponent's demanding pace.
[10:48] ---
Even though there should have been
a way to deal with that...
[10:51] ---
I'm a failure of a coach, for sure.

We really are a pathetic bunch, huh?

[11:02] ---
Anyway, I'm totally starving.
[11:04] ---
Is there anything to eat around here?

Doesn't Chiaki have a stash of snacks
in one of those lockers?

Isn't he gonna get pissed at us later?

He's got so many, he won't notice
if 2 or 3 of them go missing, dude.
[11:21] ---
Hey, that reminds me.
[11:23] ---
One time he thought I ate his pudding
and the police had to get involved.
[11:27] ---
Yeah, he broke like 6 of my ribs over it...
[11:31] ---
Dumbass! Put 'em back,
put 'em back right now!

Oh, nice!

No way. Forget it, guys.

Oh c'mon, let's just cut loose for today.

Huh? Hold up, we don't have a lighter.

Aw, damn.

Haven't seen him at all since the game ended.

Sorry.
SIGN JURI is ur game over? hurry and tell me if u won (^-^)
[12:32] ---
Oh, there you are.
[12:34] ---
You're Natsume from Kuzu High, right?
[12:37] ---
Already going home? You're so impatient.
[12:40] ---
Do you mind chatting with me for a minute?
[12:44] ---
Who're you, pops?
[12:45] ---
Well, I think we're kindred
spirits. Where're you from?
[12:48] ---
Hiroshima.
[12:49] ---
Great, same as me.
[12:51] ---
But boy, that match of yours was real close.
[12:54] ---
I was 90% sure that Kuzu High
was gonna walk away the winner.
[12:57] ---
That is... until a certain someone
missed one shot at the end.
[13:02] ---
Think about it, there was
hardly any time left.
[13:05] ---
If you'd just kept the
ball and passed it around,
[13:07] ---
things would've played out very differently.
[13:10] ---
If a player on my team ever did what you did,
then I'd give 'em a swift kick in the ass.
[13:15] ---
I'd say your teammates have every right
to give you shit for it, too.
[13:18] ---
Then piss off.
[13:20] ---
Save your bullshit speeches
for your own damn team.
[13:22] ---
You're a rude little punk.
[13:24] ---
Just to be clear, I'm
praising your skills here.
[13:29] ---
I know it seems backwards, but...
[13:31] ---
The truth is there aren't many players
with the balls to charge ahead like you did.
[13:35] ---
You had a 2-point lead and
only a few seconds left,
[13:38] ---
but despite all of that,
you didn't hesitate to go for the shot.
[13:42] ---
Why is that?
[13:44] ---
Because I thought I could score.
[13:48] ---
That's fantastic!
[13:50] ---
You know, I totally adore guys like you.
[13:53] ---
When ordinary players get too concerned
[13:55] ---
with winning, they try to process
more information than usual.
[13:58] ---
The arrangement of the defense,
[13:59] ---
the time left on the clock,
the signs from the coach, etc.
[14:02] ---
But you... what exactly were you focused on
in that moment?
[14:09] ---
They're rare, but sometimes
I find players just like you.
[14:12] ---
Real boneheads who can only
think about scoring a basket
[14:15] ---
when the ball is in their hands.
[14:17] ---

past 2 years straight.
[14:29] ---

[14:33] ---
I've been doing it for 5 years now.

He turned them into an inter-high
competitor in just 3 years...?
[14:38] ---
I know that any freshmen with
a play style like yours must
[14:41] ---
have been through some pretty rough times.
[14:45] ---
I'm sure that you butted
heads with your teammates
[14:48] ---
and coach more than a few times.
[14:50] ---
It seems all the members of your team
rely on you heavily,
[14:53] ---

a huge burden on a player.

All this flattery is confusing, pops.
[15:21] ---
Didn't you just say you'd kick
a player like me in the ass?
[15:24] ---
Yeah, but only 'cause you missed.
[15:27] ---
If you'd made that shot,
then I'd have nothing to complain about.
[15:31] ---
Well, to get to the point, I'm saying
that you're still pretty sucky overall.

I don't need you to give
me a reply right away.

an easy thing to do, I know.

think it over carefully.

There's something else
I need to tell you all.
[17:09] ---
What is it?
[17:12] ---
We just got word that
Kurumatani's mother... passed away.
[17:19] ---
The truth is, she was told that
[17:21] ---
she likely wouldn't make
it through the summer.
[17:24] ---
Our hospital has all the right facilities,
[17:26] ---
so there was a ray of hope
that she might last longer.
[17:30] ---
But in the end, there were
a mountain of things wrong
[17:33] ---
that we just couldn't fix.
[17:35] ---
Through the summer...
[17:37] ---
I see... that's why the
inter-high was so important...
[17:42] ---
You don't seem very phased by this, Sis.
[17:44] ---
Hm? Well, this is my job.
[17:47] ---
I can't let myself waste time breaking down
[17:50] ---
over ever single patient who passes away.
[18:00] ---
Sorry... I should have chosen
my words more carefully.
[18:04] ---
To be honest, I also want to cry my eyes out.
[18:07] ---
But just think...
[18:10] ---
...about the other people who are dealing
with a much deeper sadness than us.
[18:14] ---
You can't just let yourself start sobbing,
[18:17] ---
while that boy is desperately
holding back his own tears.

it get you down too much.

Will you... make sure that Sora gets this?
[18:46] ---
I wonder... why wasn't I able
to give it to Sora back then?
[18:55] ---
Poor little thing. Who hurt you, girlie?
[18:58] ---

[19:50] ---
Yeah.
[19:52] ---
You're not going to quit, are you?
[19:58] ---
This isn't going to make the
whole team fall apart... right?
[20:05] ---
You're overthinking it.
[20:07] ---
There'll be plenty of other games
for us to play in the future.
[20:11] ---
Right... I guess.
[20:13] ---
You don't sound very convinced.
[20:15] ---
What's wrong?
[20:19] ---
It's... about Sora...
[20:21] ---
Huh?
[20:24] ---
What is it?
[20:26] ---
Over there. That looks like
it might be near the school.
[20:31] ---
Take this!
[20:33] ---
Okay! Bring the next one!
[20:35] ---
I'm starting to think Momoharu is totally helpless
when it comes to athletics.
[20:40] ---
A funeral, huh?
[20:43] ---
Man, I'm not good with that kinda stuff.
I'm gonna be a blubbering mess.
[20:46] ---
Oh, damn. I don't even have funeral attire.
[20:49] ---
Just wear your school uniform, dumbass.
[20:53] ---
I can't believe that his mom
was sick the whole time.
[20:56] ---
He never said one word about it to us at all.
[20:59] ---
Even if he had said something,
there's nothing we could've done about it.
[21:03] ---
But you know, I heard lil' Sora came to this school
so that he could be closer to his mom.
[21:11] ---
So then, now that she's dead,
is he gonna go back to his hometown?
[21:17] ---
Sora... must have wanted to
win that match so badly...
[21:21] ---
I didn't actually get to play
in any real games back in middle school,
[21:24] ---
so even when my team lost,
it just felt like somebody else's problem.
[21:28] ---
That reminds me, Chiaki
mentioned something once.
[21:31] ---
He said the reason those guys on the team
just gave up halfway through
[21:34] ---
was 'cuz they never cared
about winning or losing in the first place.
[21:38] ---
I guess now, I can kind of understand why
he ran out on that one game.
[21:42] ---
I had no idea... that losing a game
could be this damn terrifying!
[21:47] ---
HOME RUN
[21:49] ---
Whoa! You're a boss, Nabe!
[21:51] ---
And that was even a 130 kph fastball!
[21:52] ---
I want to convey them to you
[21:53] ---
Damn, you really are a pro at baseball!
[21:55] ---
Lay all of my feelings bare
[21:58] ---
Huh? Momomharu! You headed home?
[21:58] ---
Whether I have to lie or sin,
I just want you to smile
[22:05] ---
By using these wings that you gave me
[22:06] ---
Hello?
[22:08] ---
Where are you right now?!
[22:08] ---
And embracing the "promise"
that ties us together
[22:09] ---
Why do you care? At the
Tamagawa batting center.
[22:11] ---
I'll stretch up to the sky!
[22:12] ---
You need to come to the school ASAP!
[22:13] ---
BOYS'
BASKETBALL
TEAM
[22:14] ---
The locker rooms are in serious trouble!
[22:14] ---
Towards where only light shines
[22:20] ---
I was suffocating myself
[22:25] ---
In the empty corner of a cage
[22:25] ---
Hullo?
[22:27] ---
What the hell, pops? Did
you get drunk or something?
[22:29] ---
Yeah... it was as if
[22:30] ---
Are you really a teacher?
[22:31] ---
"I'm just like a bird that can't fly"
[22:31] ---
Huh? You numbskull!
[22:34] ---
I nearly locked myself
in with all the excuses
[22:34] ---
Even teachers partake in a
bottle of alcohol on occasion.
[22:37] ---
Anyway, you got back me to fast.
[22:40] ---
I don't like being wishy-washy.
[22:41] ---
I want to change
[22:42] ---
I cannot change
[22:43] ---
That's a good quality to have.
[22:44] ---
Even if I become stained in lies
[22:45] ---
So, are you ready to come here?
[22:46] ---
I want to fall apart
[22:47] ---
Before I answer that, I wanna
ask you just one thing.
[22:48] ---
I cannot fall apart
[22:49] ---
Now... I set flight
[22:50] ---
Coming from the perspective
of a coach who raised a team
[22:52] ---
Sailing into the open sky
[22:53] ---
to get to the inter-high in just 3 years,
[22:55] ---
On these ugly wings
[22:55] ---
do you think our team has a future?
[22:57] ---
To assure I never go through
the same pain again
[22:58] ---
None at all. I'm 99% certain of it.
[23:03] ---
Really now? A'ight then.
[23:04] ---
Still so very fragile and ephemeral
[23:06] ---
Just like you said, I have a lot
of responsibility on my shoulders.
[23:07] ---
But no matter how dirty or pathetic
[23:10] ---
I'll fight! I'll rise!
[23:11] ---
But it don't matter if that's
a burden on me or not,
[23:14] ---
'cuz I made a promise that I have to keep.
[23:14] ---
Towards where there is a tiny glimmer
[23:16] ---
If you're saying that our
team has a 1% chance,
[23:19] ---
then I'm gonna bet on that.
[23:23] ---
Just watch...
[23:25] ---
...I'll rise to the top with them!
[23:31] ---
