[01:38] ---
    Huh? Chiaki?!
[01:40] ---
    How many times do I have to tell you not to strip
    while walking through the clinic!
[01:44] ---
    Mrs. Kawahara, where's Momoharu at right now?
[01:47] ---
    He should be up in his room as far as I know.
[01:57] ---
    Dude, we're not kids anymore.
    At least knock before you barge in.
[02:02] ---
    Is that all the homework you got stuck with?
[02:03] ---
    Yep.
[02:04] ---
    Are you actually doing it properly?
[02:06] ---
    As best I can.
[02:08] ---
    Great! Then let's wrestle!
[02:10] ---
    Huh?
[02:11] ---
    We used to do it all the time, remember?
    C'mon, let's wrestle.
[02:14] ---
    Why the hell should I waste my
    time on silly shit like that?
[02:18] ---
    Wrestling! Wrestling! Wrestling!
[02:21] ---
    Shut up!
[02:22] ---
    C'mon, hurry and get up here!
    Otherwise it'll be a ring out!

    I'm not playing along with you, man.
[02:28] ---
    The count starts! 4, 3, 2...
[02:32] ---
    Just cut it out alrea-!

    Well now, this one seems serious.
[03:01] ---
    It's been a long time since that's happened.
[03:06] ---
    You've turned into such a wussy.
[03:08] ---
    Makes me sad to be your brother.
[03:11] ---
    Shut your damn mouth!

    Why can't anybody leave me the hell alone?!
[03:16] ---
    Nothing is gonna change the past!
    So what the hell do you want from me?!
[03:21] ---
    You're just... stealing the

[03:27] ---
    I'm not telling you to apologize,
[03:28] ---
    or take responsibility,
[03:31] ---
    or lend me money or anything like that.
[03:34] ---
    Just quit letting people see you...
    turn your back like a coward.
[03:38] ---
    That's the same line
    that you've always used on me, isn't it?
[03:45] ---
    Don't pretend! I know that you're
    totally fed up with my bullshit!
[03:49] ---
    I don't need you trying to put on

    You're a real dumbass.

    The next round is gonna be intense!
[04:39] ---
    It would've been nice if Kuzu

[04:41] ---
    I totally missed that match.
    Was it really that amazing?
[04:47] ---
    Hey, Tokiwa!
[04:49] ---
    Looks like it's finally
    time to settle our rivalry.
[04:52] ---
    I'll show everyone who the real star

[04:59] ---
    Thank you so much!

    Hold up, are you guys even good enough

[05:04] ---
    Of course we are! You stupid gorilla!
[05:07] ---
    Hey, let's both do our best
    to keep hanging in there.
[05:10] ---
    Anyways, have you heard the news?
    The Kuzu High team caused a fire.
[05:14] ---
    What a bunch of idiots.
[05:15] ---
    It's too bad ‘cuz I thought
    they had a lot of potential.
[05:18] ---
    Huh?
[05:19] ---
    I apologize. I'm sorry for
    calling you a gorilla.
[05:20] ---
    Well, there's already enough scary faces
    with just our team.
[05:22] ---
    My bad.
[05:23] ---
    Frankly, I never thought that Kuzu High
    would make it very far.
[05:29] ---
    But I have to admit, I was looking forward
    to seeing a player like him shake things up.
[05:35] ---
    Don't fall apart. Not
    over something like this.
[05:47] ---
    We get a rare day off school
    and none of the other teams are even practicing.
[05:51] ---
    Though, I guess that's normal.

[06:21] ---
    He's a moron. Definitely a moron.
[06:23] ---
    Maybe you can give me the lowdown.
[06:26] ---
    Is the basketball team not

[06:41] ---
    I'm a genius!

    Though, I guess the only guy
    with hair like that around here WOULD be you.

    Whaddya come here for?
[06:51] ---
    I came 'cuz I have some major beef with you!
[06:53] ---
    Just kidding!
[06:55] ---
    Nah, actually, I've been
    hearing rumors of a kid from
[06:58] ---
    Hiroshima with weird hair
    who's good at basketball.
[07:04] ---
    So I thought I'd come and
    test his skill for myself.
[07:07] ---
    Or something like that.
[07:10] ---
    Get lost.
[07:11] ---
    NOOOO!
[07:13] ---
    Look, I dunno who you are.
[07:16] ---
    But I ain't in the mood to
    be screwing around right now.
[07:19] ---
    Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense.
[07:22] ---
    Why bother playing a guy when you don't know
    if he's any good.
[07:26] ---
    Okay then,
[07:27] ---
    I'll give you a little sneak peek.
[07:36] ---
    From the half-court line?
[07:42] ---
    There's no way that'd go in!
    It's pretty much near impossible, ya know!
[07:46] ---
    I was just hamming it up! Putting
    on a little show for you!
[07:50] ---
    Whoops, did I make you mad?
    Sorry about that, really!
[07:54] ---
    I swear I didn't pull that
    stunt to be mean or nothing!
[07:56] ---
    C'mon, don't just leave me here!
[07:59] ---
    Who said anything about leaving?
[07:59] ---
    That shot was enough for me to tell
    that you're pretty damn good.
[08:06] ---
    And honestly, I've been wanting
    to vent some stress. I'll play you.
[08:11] ---
    That's exactly what I was hoping you'd say.
[08:20] ---
    Orange hair and a pair of Air Bakins, really?
[08:22] ---
    That's some bizarre sense of style!
[08:25] ---
    Though...
[08:27] ---
    ...he definitely seems like
    he's got the skills to throw down.
[08:31] ---
    The jumper is a basketball shot that requires
    a lot of technique to pull off properly.
[08:36] ---
    How you use your knees, how
    you turn your wrists...
[08:38] ---
    it's not something mastered in one day.
[08:41] ---
    It's something that you can only obtain
    after building up experience and practice.
[08:46] ---
    So that's why I can tell just from his shooting
    form that this guy is the real deal.
[08:53] ---
    Alrighty! I'm all set now.
[08:55] ---
    Okay, you ready to do this?
[08:59] ---
    Don't hold back on me.
[09:10] ---
    What the hell is with this guy?
[09:19] ---
    Are you sure it's okay to
    just leave the burnt parts?
[09:21] ---
    I thought that might help
    give it a rustic feel.
[09:25] ---
    Is that really necessary?
[09:26] ---
    Um... if you're free then would you help m-?
[09:29] ---
    No way! Too much effort, man.
[09:37] ---
    I'm curious, why did you first
    start playing basketball?
[09:41] ---
    What is this, the dating game?
    I'm a Capricorn, by the way!
[09:44] ---
    Just forget I said anything.
[09:47] ---
    Momoharu was the one who started first.
[09:51] ---
    I just tagged along with him out of curiosity,
    but then I joined in before too long.
[09:57] ---
    And yet, you're the better player than he is.
[10:00] ---
    Only because he's hopeless
    when it comes to sports in general.
[10:04] ---
    Don't you think that gives
    him an inferiority complex?
[10:07] ---
    Hell if I know what other people are feeling!
[10:11] ---
    But what I can tell you,
    is that he always overthinks everything.
[10:15] ---
    Perhaps its you who just
    doesn't think enough.
[10:26] ---
    I'm sorry, Shigeyoshi. I'm later than I...

[10:31] ---
    Hello, Nao!
[10:33] ---

[10:35] ---
    Yep! I did all of the work over on this side.
[10:39] ---
    You're hurt, how did that
    happen? It looks swollen!
[10:44] ---
    Did you... get into another fight?
[10:46] ---
    Uh, no, this happened because
    I was wrestling with Momoharu.
[10:55] ---
    Sheesh. Promise me you won't
    get into any more fights, okay?
[11:01] ---
    My darling Nao!
[11:03] ---
    You made a lot of progress.
[11:05] ---
    Uh, yeah.
[11:06] ---
    But are you sure about this?
    Can we really use all these supplies?
[11:09] ---
    It's okay because we have a surplus of them
    at my house.
[11:12] ---
    That's great. We're lucky
    your family runs a construction company.

[11:22] ---
    Cut!
[11:26] ---
    What's up? You already wiped out?
[11:29] ---
    What is this guy made of?
[11:33] ---
    How can there be someone
    THIS good at our school?
[11:36] ---
    No, how can there be someone this good
    in HIGH SCHOOL?!
[11:49] ---
    I didn't think that would
    actually knock you on your ass!
[11:52] ---
    Did you know?
[11:53] ---
    When really skilled dribblers manage
    to throw defenders off their feet
[11:57] ---
    like that it's called an "ankle breaker."
[12:05] ---
    There's nothing for you to brag about.
    We haven't finished this yet!
[12:08] ---
    Nah, I'm throwing in the towel!
[12:10] ---
    I've got a long trek back home,
    so I can't wear myself out here.
[12:13] ---
    Wait, he's not from this school?
[12:16] ---
    Hold up, who are you?
[12:18] ---
    Oh! I guess I forgot to
    introduce myself, huh?
[12:22] ---
    I'm a freshman at Yokohama Taiei High School.
[12:25] ---

[12:27] ---
    Our coach was telling us that there's a player here
    who plays a lot like I do,
[12:31] ---
    and that got me curious enough
    to come take a look-see.
[12:34] ---
    But I'm relieved to know you're
    not actually all that good.
[12:40] ---
    Thanks for the game.

[13:27] ---
    In fact, my height is something
    I take a lot of pride in.
[13:29] ---

    to stay in Nagano in the first place.

    But today's Sunday.
[17:19] ---
    What the-?
[17:20] ---
    They installed a new door!
    And it's even got a fresh coat of paint!
[17:26] ---
    Oh, I get it!
[17:27] ---
    This must be because the school acknowledged
[17:29] ---
    our skills in that match
    and, even though we lost,
[17:32] ---
    they gave us a huge budget to work with!
[17:34] ---
    Hell yeah! This rules!
[17:36] ---
    The inside looks amazingly clean now!
[17:39] ---
    And just look at all the pretty...
[17:48] ---
    Oh no, Kurumatani!
[17:50] ---
    N-Nanao, what is going on...?
[17:53] ---
    I'm sorry! There's a lot I
    have to explain to you...
[17:57] ---
    Kurumatani!
[17:59] ---
    The truth is...
[18:01] ---
    A fire?
[18:02] ---
    Wait, what happened to
    Momoharu and the guys?!
[18:04] ---
    They're suspended right now.
[18:06] ---
    We at least thought we could get
    the locker rooms back to normal,
[18:10] ---
    but the instant we finished repairs,
[18:13] ---
    the cheerleading club took them over.
[18:19] ---
    I didn't even get a chance to
    put up a fight against them.
[18:22] ---
    Apparently the teachers all got together
    and decided they would get the room.
[18:26] ---
    Jerks. Leeching off our free labor.
[18:29] ---
    I'm so sorry, Kurumatani.
[18:31] ---
    Everything fell apart
    and at such a difficult time for you...
[18:35] ---
    We got disbanded, huh?
[18:41] ---
    Well, you know, I'm just glad
    they didn't ban us from the sport or anything.
[18:45] ---
    Seriously...?!
[18:48] ---
    Actually, Kurumatani... that's
    not really the point...
[18:51] ---
    Huh? Did I say something weird?
[18:54] ---
    Disbanding just means that none
    of us are on a team anymore,
[18:58] ---
    but we're still free to
    play basketball, right?
[19:02] ---
    If you ask me, it would've been
    way worse if they banned us from
[19:06] ---
    playing for a whole year or something.
[19:08] ---
    Well, uh, that's not really
    the problem we're facing right now...
[19:11] ---

    We can't really play

    Hold on just a minute, Nanao.
[19:18] ---
    I think Kurumatani may have
    the right idea about all this.
[19:22] ---
    At this point, there's
    no realistic way for us
[19:25] ---
    to get back exactly what we had before.

[19:40] ---
    Nao? What's up?
[19:42] ---
    On Call
[19:42] ---
    Well, do you remember how you said
[19:44] ---
    that our school didn't have
    a light music club last year?
[19:46] ---
    Can you tell me how it came about?
[19:48] ---
    What do you mean?
[19:50] ---
    We just went and got, like, an application
    from our homeroom teacher.
[19:53] ---
    As long as we have 5 or more members,
[19:55] ---
    students can apply to make
    a clique or whatever.
[19:58] ---
    Then after while, if your activities
    don't cause any problems,
[20:01] ---
    you'll get acknowledged as an official club.
[20:03] ---
    And then, like, the school
    gives you funding and other stuff.
[20:06] ---
    It was a real struggle for us at first!
[20:09] ---
    We had to pay for supplies
    and such out of our own pocket.
[20:11] ---
    Uh, hey? Nao?
[20:14] ---
    5 members...
[20:15] ---
    1, 2, 3, 4...
[20:18] ---
    Where's Kite?
[20:19] ---
    Forget it.
[20:21] ---
    Out of all of us, he was the most pissed off
    about what happened.
[20:24] ---
    There's no way he's going to waste time with us
    trying to form some clique.
[20:28] ---
    But then...
[20:31] ---
    I'm in.
[20:33] ---
    Natsume... are you sure?
[20:36] ---
    However, on one condition.
[20:39] ---
    You have to promise me,
[20:41] ---
    that we'll be strong enough
    to challenge the inter-high next year!
[20:48] ---
    I promise.
[20:50] ---
    Then count me in.
[20:51] ---
    We're literally at rock bottom now.
[20:53] ---
    But I think we've got what
    it takes to rise back up.
[20:57] ---
    Just wait and see, you stupid fool.
[21:00] ---
    I'm gonna come and crush your whole team!
[21:04] ---
    Look, nobody's even here!
[21:06] ---
    It's such a waste!
[21:08] ---
    Not a revival, but a fresh start instead, eh?
[21:11] ---
    I gotta admit, idiots come up
    with some incredible ideas.
[21:14] ---
    Now we just need... Momoharu and the others.
[21:18] ---
    You know, thinking real hard about it,
[21:20] ---
    I just realized I haven't
    touched a ball in a whole week!
[21:24] ---
    I'm so glad. Kurumatani
    seems like his usual self.
[21:28] ---
    Huh? Hey, Kurumatani.
[21:30] ---
    Did you get a new pair of shoes?
[21:39] ---
    From here on out...
[21:41] ---
    ...I'm going to stand on the court by myself.
[21:46] ---
    All by himself, huh?
[21:49] ---
    He went and became an adult
    without either of us realizing it.
[21:56] ---
    Right, Yuka?
[22:01] ---
    I want to convey them to you
[22:04] ---
    Lay all of my feelings bare
[22:07] ---
    Whether I have to lie or sin,
    I just want you to smile
[22:14] ---
    By using these wings that you gave me
[22:16] ---
    And embracing the "promise"
    that ties us together
[22:19] ---
    I'll stretch up to the sky!
[22:23] ---
    Towards where only light shines
[22:28] ---
    I was suffocating myself
[22:34] ---
    In the empty corner of a cage
[22:38] ---
    Yeah... it was as if
[22:39] ---
    "I'm just like a bird that can't fly"
[22:43] ---
    I nearly locked myself
    in with all the excuses
[22:49] ---
    I want to change
[22:51] ---
    I cannot change
[22:52] ---
    Even if I become stained in lies
[22:55] ---
    I want to fall apart
[22:56] ---
    I cannot fall apart
[22:58] ---
    Now... I set flight
[23:01] ---
    Sailing into the open sky
[23:03] ---
    On these ugly wings
[23:06] ---
    To assure I never go through
    the same pain again
[23:13] ---
    Still so very fragile and ephemeral
[23:16] ---
    But no matter how dirty or pathetic
[23:19] ---
    I'll fight! I'll rise!
[23:22] ---
    Towards where there is a tiny glimmer
[23:31] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
[23:31] ---
