    Shout louder, freshmen!
[00:05] ---
    Okay!
[00:06] ---
    Here goes another one!
[00:07] ---
    Nice shot!
[00:09] ---
    Keep it up!
[00:12] ---
    S-sorry about that!
[00:13] ---
    It's cool.
[00:15] ---
    Okay, last round!

[00:19] ---
    So did something happened to you?
[00:21] ---
    Wh-what do you mean?
[00:23] ---
    I've noticed that you've
    been off your game lately.
[00:26] ---
    Oh... yeah, sorry.
[00:28] ---
    It's fine. You don't have to
    apologize for it or anything.
SIGN    These past 3 years have been a blast thanks to you gals!
[00:31] ---
    And it's not just you,
    it's actually everybody.

[00:35] ---
    Our team has become pretty sloppy
    ever since the seniors left.
[00:39] ---
    I guess even slackers like them
    leave some impact behind.
[00:42] ---
    Yoko has started ragging on the seniors.
[00:48] ---
    Look, I'm not going to try
    and stick my nose in your business.
[00:52] ---
    Just know I'm always here
    if you need someone to talk to.
[00:55] ---
    Right. I appreciate that.
[00:59] ---
    Sorry.

[01:01] ---
    Yoko has always been good at basketball
    and totally serious about practice.
[01:08] ---
    Want to hit a cafe or something?
[01:09] ---
    Sorry! I already have plans
    with Tama later today.
[01:13] ---
    People like her exude such a bright light around me
    that it's been really painful...
[01:19] ---
    ...seeing it cast my own shadow lately.

    This is too far!
[02:55] ---
    There are karaoke places way
    closer to school, y'know!
[02:58] ---
    I hate having to bump into
    creeps at the crowded station.
[03:00] ---
    Oh, just relax.
[03:02] ---
    Put that one song on.
[03:03] ---
    You know, the one you always sing, Tama!
[03:04] ---
    Oh, I love that one!
[03:07] ---
    Anyways, Madoka, give me the deets.
[03:10] ---
    Hm?
[03:11] ---
    You got dumped by a guy, yeah?
[03:13] ---
    Huh?! Wha-wha-wha-wha...?
[03:15] ---
    I did NOT get dumped!
[03:17] ---
    Oh? But you DO have your eyes on someone!
[03:19] ---
    Uh-oh, she walked right into that one.
[03:23] ---
    Help me, Tama!
[03:24] ---
    There, there, just let it out.
[03:28] ---
    That's actually the whole reason
    I invited you to come today!
[03:31] ---
    They should be here soon.
[03:32] ---
    Huh?
[03:33] ---
    Hey, this way! Over here!
[03:35] ---
    Wassup!
[03:36] ---
    You're late!
[03:37] ---
    Sorry, my bad. Practice
    ran pretty late today.
[03:40] ---
    I didn't even know you were on a team.
[03:42] ---
    Despite how I look, I'm
    actually a serious sportsman.
[03:47] ---
    Hold up, Tama!
[03:49] ---
    Huh?
[03:50] ---
    I didn't hear anything about this!
[03:52] ---
    'Cuz I kept it secret. Not
    even my boyfriend knows.
[03:55] ---
    Hey, Tsukasa, what do you want to drink?
[03:56] ---
    Oolong tea for me.
[03:57] ---
    Who's this? We haven't met before.
[03:59] ---
    Huh?
[03:59] ---
    So many cuties here! Are
    you all from Kuzu High?
[04:03] ---
    Got a boyfriend? Your ponytail is adorable.
[04:05] ---
    What's your name?
[04:05] ---
    No... well... um...
[04:06] ---
    All you ladies look like you could be models.
[04:08] ---
    Sorry! I'm gonna have to pass and go home!
[04:11] ---
    Huh? What'd you say?
[04:11] ---
    Comin' through! Scoot in, scoot in!
[04:15] ---
    Sorry to interrupt.
[04:16] ---
    Huh?
[04:17] ---
    Oh, hey, I know a good song.
[04:18] ---
    Put in 6167-01.
[04:20] ---
    Are you sure that's the one?
[04:21] ---
    Fo' sho!
[04:26] ---
    C'mon, you need to lighten up.
    At least give them your number or something!
[04:32] ---
    Sorry, I just don't handle
    guys like that very well.
[04:35] ---
    You know, acting like playboys
    and getting all flirty and such.
[04:39] ---
    Right... sorry. Later.
[04:47] ---
    Doing stuff like that always
    leaves me feeling drained.
[04:51] ---
    And it's not like I want to
    go get a boyfriend right away.
[04:56] ---
    If that's the kind of shit you want to do,
    then invite some other guy to go with you!
[05:01] ---
    Ugh, no, just stop!
[05:03] ---
    I can't let myself get
    all depressed about it!
[05:05] ---
    From now on, the team is gonna be my life!
[05:07] ---
    I'm the vice-captain, after all.
[05:09] ---
    It's fine, the ball and my sneakers
    are the only lovers I need!
[05:12] ---
    Love is just... ah!
[05:17] ---
    Oh no!
[05:21] ---
    My earring... I dropped it somewhere!
[05:24] ---
    KARAOKE
[05:24] ---
    An earring? Hm... I don't recall seeing one.
[05:28] ---
    We thoroughly clean every
    room after they get used.
[05:32] ---
    I think it would have been
    found if it was here.
[05:36] ---
    Did you consider you might have
    dropped it before coming here?
[05:40] ---
    Actually, if you'd like...
[05:42] ---
    ...perhaps I could buy a new pair for you.
[05:45] ---
    Sorry, but no thanks! Goodbye
    and I appreciate the help!
[05:55] ---
    What do I do? How can I find it?
[06:04] ---
    Hey there, Madoka!
[06:06] ---
    Oh, you're from earlier, uh...
[06:09] ---
    Wait, did you already forget my name? Ouch!
[06:13] ---
    I, uh... I'm sorry.
[06:15] ---
    Well, you did leave in a big hurry.
[06:18] ---
    It seems like you're looking
    for something. What's wrong?
[06:21] ---
    Uh... well, it's my earring.
    I dropped it around here somewhere.
[06:25] ---
    Really? What brand is it?
[06:28] ---
    Oh, just show me your other one.
[06:29] ---
    Uh, well, they're not like
    expensive or anything...
[06:32] ---
    Hey! I've got a part-time job to get to!
[06:34] ---
    Sorry to bother you. Um,
    I'll be okay on my own.
[06:39] ---
    Are you sure? Be honest.
[06:41] ---
    Yes. Don't worry.
[06:43] ---
    Okay, see ya.
[06:56] ---
    This is hopeless. It's too
    dark for me to find it.
[07:00] ---
    Oh! I want this!
[07:02] ---
    Hands off! That was super expensive!
[07:05] ---
    Then, give me this bag!
[07:07] ---
    Not happening. Save up your allowance
    and buy one yourself.
[07:11] ---
    Cheapskate.
[07:16] ---
    Are you really... getting married?
[07:21] ---
    Why would I lie to my family about that?
[07:25] ---
    But you...
[07:27] ---
    You're still just 23, Sis.
[07:30] ---
    It's too early.
[07:33] ---
    What? Are you feeling lonely?
[07:35] ---
    Th-that's not what I'm saying!
[07:37] ---
    Actually, it'll be a breath of
    fresh air! I'll get more space!
[07:41] ---
    Then everything works out just fine.
    What are you complaining about?
[07:46] ---
    But... I will be a little sad.
[07:53] ---
    I'll do you a favor, then.
[07:58] ---
    Here. You can borrow these
    from me indefinitely.
[08:01] ---
    "Indefinitely"?
[08:02] ---
    You've been wearing them whenever
    I wasn't around, right? I know all about it.
[08:09] ---
    These are a treasure of mine
    that I bought with my first measly paycheck.
[08:12] ---
    You'll have to give them back to me someday.
[08:16] ---
    No way.
[08:17] ---
    I'm keeping them forever.
[08:29] ---
    It feels like lately...
    nothing has gone right.
[08:35] ---
    I should just give up.
[08:38] ---
    Oh, there she is!
[08:41] ---
    Wow, you look way better with your hair down!
[08:47] ---
    There's no way you'll find a tiny earring
    in the dark like this.
[08:51] ---
    So we brought you some light.
[08:53] ---
    But why?
[08:55] ---
    We all would've gone home if it was just
    some fancy brand name thing
[08:58] ---
    you were worried about.
[09:00] ---
    But it's more precious than that, right?
[09:02] ---
    Do you have a rough idea
    of where you dropped it?
[09:05] ---
    Uh... yeah. When I went to the bathroom
    at the station I know I still had it.
[09:09] ---
    That means anywhere from
    there to the karaoke place.
[09:12] ---
    Hello? Yeah, I'm sending you a pic,
    so if you see a match... yep, that's right.
[09:19] ---
    Th-thanks for your help, um...
[09:21] ---
    Oh, no need for thanks until
    we actually find the thing.
[09:25] ---
    Huh?
[09:26] ---
    Tell me something, did a guy
    give you those earrings?
[09:30] ---
    That's personal.
[09:32] ---
    Oh really? Well, that's a pity.
[09:57] ---
    They found it!
[09:58] ---
    At the station ticket gate!
    There was someone who found it along with the clip.
[10:15] ---
    Check it out. It stopped raining!
[10:17] ---
    Thinking about it, shouldn't she have started
    with the station? Is she dumb?
[10:21] ---
    Dude, don't say that!
[10:22] ---
    Yeah, is this the manager?
    Sorry, I'm about to g-
[10:25] ---
    Just quit now, you little shit!
[10:29] ---
    I'm sorry! It's all my fault!
[10:31] ---
    Oh, don't sweat it. This
    happens all the time.
[10:35] ---
    All the time, really?
[10:39] ---
    My shirt is soakin' wet.
    Lend me your towel, man.
[10:42] ---
    Nuh-uh.
[10:44] ---
    They're actually a really decent group of guys.
    But I judged them just on looks...
[10:48] ---
    So hey, I don't mean to rush this.
[10:52] ---
    But could you tell me your number now?
[10:54] ---
    Huh?
[10:55] ---
    You gotta give us something!
[10:57] ---
    We don't just do work without
    some kind of reward!
[11:01] ---
    A-are you always going around
    seducing girls like this?
[11:05] ---
    You might say, I sacrifice my life for them!
[11:08] ---
    Alrighty! I'll hit you up soon,
    maybe even sometime tonight.
[11:11] ---
    Do want us to walk you home?
[11:12] ---
    Uh, no. I'd rather you not.
[11:17] ---
    See you around, then!
[11:18] ---
    Oh, hey!
[11:19] ---
    Huh?
[11:20] ---
    Th-thanks so much.
[11:23] ---
    Let's have fun again soon!
[11:29] ---
    They were some pretty amusing guys.
[11:36] ---
    Bunch of weirdos.
[11:42] ---
    Rock, paper, scissors... shoot!
[11:48] ---
    NOOOO!
[11:50] ---
    Orange juice for me.
[11:51] ---
    Same here!
[11:52] ---
    Orange juice, cola and a sports drink!
[11:54] ---
    What the hell are you guys doing?!
[11:55] ---
    I'll have orange juice, too.
[11:56] ---
    But you didn't even play rock,
    paper, scissors with us!
[11:59] ---
    Keep in mind, I'll be collecting
    150 yen from you all later.
[12:02] ---
    What?! But why?!
[12:04] ---
    Because we're practicing
    at the city owned gym today and it costs a fee.
[12:08] ---
    Does the city gym really
    charge its own damn citizens?
[12:12] ---
    That's unfair!
[12:13] ---
    Anyways, I'm impressed that
    you found out about this.
[12:16] ---
    I didn't realize the gym had a rental period.
[12:18] ---
    Yep.
[12:19] ---
    Since the school is finally letting us have a match,
    we really need to practice.
[12:23] ---
    We don't want a repeat
    of our performance at the prelims.
[12:26] ---
    Being able to use a court is worth it,
    even if we have to pay for it.
[12:30] ---
    It's my job to figure this
    sort of thing out, though.
[12:33] ---
    Knock it off. I've gotta
    do at least this much,
[12:36] ---
    or else I couldn't look you guys in the eyes.
[12:41] ---
    Then pay for me, bro.
[12:43] ---
    I'm broke!
[12:44] ---
    Broke!
[12:45] ---
    Quit your bullshit!
[12:56] ---
    Things have started looking
    up since we got disbanded
[12:58] ---
    and now thanks to the principal,
[13:00] ---
    we're going to play in a practice match.
[13:03] ---
    The goal is to play in
    front of all the teachers
[13:06] ---
    and make them see how much
    we all care about basketball.
[13:10] ---
    However... there's just one problem.
[13:13] ---
    Yokohama Taiei?!
[13:15] ---
    You're one crafty fox, man!
[13:17] ---
    So are they, like, super tough?
[13:20] ---
    Nabe accepted an offer from another school
    without consulting anyone.
[13:24] ---
    It's a team that has gone
    to the inter-high twice.
[13:27] ---
    And they even made it into the top 16.
[13:29] ---
    They're one of the top
    competitors in our region
[13:31] ---
    who dominated this year's Kanto tourney
    and are a shoe-in for the inter-high.
[13:37] ---
    Do we really stand any
    chance at beating them?
[13:39] ---
    W-well, the main point is to get the teachers
    to notice our honest effort.
[13:44] ---
    So really, winning shouldn't matter...
[13:46] ---
    That doesn't sound very convincing at all!
[13:48] ---
    We already said we were gonna win!
[13:50] ---
    Th-that's 27 seconds, run it again!
[13:55] ---
    The match is still pretty far out,
[13:57] ---
    so we're lucky that we have time
    to prepare at the very least.
[14:02] ---
    But... it's very strange.
[14:04] ---
    Yokohama Taiei should be getting
    ready for the inter-high,
[14:06] ---
    so why bother facing a team like ours?
[14:08] ---
    You've got a good head,
    but you're still stupid.
[14:11] ---
    Huh?
[14:12] ---
    There's very little chance of them
    putting their best players in.
[14:15] ---
    Yeah, that would make sense.
[14:18] ---
    But... even if they decide to use
    their second or third string players,
[14:22] ---
    it's still safe to say they're at a level
    much higher than we are.
[14:27] ---
    Then let's just forget about winning!
[14:30] ---
    I agree... with that idea.
[14:32] ---
    Quit saying all this stuff
    that will psych us out before we even play!
[14:36] ---
    Last one!
[14:38] ---
    Putting aside how strong our
    opponents are going to be,
[14:41] ---
    our team's current situation
    is much more worrisome.
[14:44] ---
    Can we still not go inside?
[14:46] ---
    They said open rental time
    doesn't start until 7:00 pm.
[14:49] ---
    Right now, everybody should be focused
    on achieving one common goal, but...
[15:00] ---
    ...it still feels like our
    team is in pieces somehow.
[15:08] ---
    There's a lot of people here.
[15:09] ---
    Can we really practice in
    the middle of all this?
[15:12] ---
    Just being able to run around
    in our basketball shoes is helpful enough.
[15:15] ---
    Doing shuttle runs on a court versus outside
    makes a huge difference.
[15:20] ---
    That's true.
[15:21] ---
    Feels like forever since I
    last wore my basketball shoes!
[15:23] ---
    Everybody here seems really good.
[15:25] ---
    I'm kind of shy practicing
    in front of so many people.
[15:28] ---
    Oh, look at lil' Sora already
    getting his shoes on.
[15:31] ---
    He's really pumped.
[15:38] ---
    These... are so awesome!
[15:41] ---
    They've hardly been broken in
    and the soles are still hard.
[15:45] ---
    My new basketball shoes!
[15:47] ---
    They have that new shoe smell,
[15:49] ---
    and make a really clean squeak.
[15:52] ---
    I can also feel... this thrill inside of me
    that had started to fade away.
[15:59] ---
    I have to be standing on
    the court in these shoes,
[16:01] ---
    to even remember it anymore.
[16:05] ---
    I want to...
[16:07] ---
    ...play a game soon.
[16:14] ---
    Sorry I ended up late!
[16:16] ---
    Did you wait long?
[16:18] ---
    Nope, not at all! I actually just got there
    a minute before you.
[16:21] ---
    But wait, why are you in your uniform?
[16:23] ---
    Oh crap! Don't tell me that we can't get in
    without our uniforms?!
[16:27] ---
    Ah, no! It has nothing to do with that.
[16:31] ---
    It's just... I didn't want it to seem
    like we're going on a date.
[16:34] ---
    Though, I did spent 3 hours debating about
[16:37] ---
    what to wear before settling on my uniform.
[16:40] ---
    Is the Hiratsuka General
    Gym very far from here?
[16:44] ---
    I think it will take about
    2 hours for us to get there.
[16:47] ---
    But we'll arrive with plenty
    of time before the game.
[16:50] ---
    Speaking of, Kanagawa gets two teams to serve
    as representatives at the inter-high, right?
[16:54] ---
    Yeah, and I think one of them
    has already been decided.
[16:57] ---
    Today's match is between the remaining...
[16:59] ---
    Wow, what a nice smell. I
    wonder if it's her shampoo?
[17:05] ---
    Something wrong?
[17:06] ---
    Huh? Uh, it's nothing! Just, um...
[17:09] ---
    Just thinking that your
    hair has gotten longer.
[17:11] ---
    Oh, this?
[17:14] ---
    Actually, it's because I
    made a promise with myself.
[17:17] ---
    A promise?
[17:18] ---
    Yeah.
[17:20] ---
    I swore not to cut it until...
    our team gets its first victory.
[17:26] ---
    O-oh, I see.
[17:29] ---
    But long hair doesn't really
    suit me because I'm so short.
[17:32] ---
    So I actually want to get it cut kinda soon.
[17:35] ---
    Sorry, I'll do my best! We'll win next time!
[17:39] ---
    Oh no! I didn't mean it that way!
[17:42] ---
    Hey, look over there.
[17:44] ---
    Maybe middle schoolers? They're so adorable!
[17:48] ---
    S-so, hey!
[17:50] ---
    S-sorry, what is it?
[17:52] ---
    Huh? Um, nothing. You go first.
[17:57] ---
    Oh, Kurumatani! We have to
    switch at the next stop!
[18:00] ---
    Huh? Oh!
[18:06] ---
    Well, looky here.
[18:08] ---
    I thought you seemed familiar.
    You're the tiny shooter from Kuzu High, yeah?
[18:14] ---
    You're from Shinjotowa...
    Takahashi and Kojima!
[18:17] ---
    Yo.
[18:18] ---
    What's up? You two out
    on a date or something?
[18:20] ---
    You've totally got the wrong idea!
[18:22] ---
    Don't be so shy.
[18:24] ---
    If you two are switching trains here,
    then does that mean you're heading for Hiratsuka?
[18:28] ---
    Yeah. We're on our way
    to offer some support from the stands.
[18:32] ---
    An old teammate of mine is playing today.
[18:44] ---
    Wow! The final four doesn't disappoint.
[18:46] ---
    The scale of everything is totally
    different from the prelims.
[18:49] ---
    It's awesome! I really wanted
    to play in a place like this just once.
[18:53] ---
    So the finals today are
    between Shinmaruko and Taiei?
[18:56] ---
    Yeah.
[18:57] ---
    But look, Maru High has
    already lost two matches.
[19:00] ---
    Maru High did?!
[19:01] ---
    Then I guess they can't
    go to the inter-high...
[19:03] ---
    They can. Since Sho Academy
    has already clinched one of the inter-high spots,
[19:07] ---
    Shinmaruko
[19:07] ---
    if Maru High can beat Taiei here,
[19:09] ---
    Yokohama Taiei
[19:09] ---
    they'll be tied at 1 win & 2 losses
    with the remaining teams.
[19:13] ---
    That means there's a
    chance they could advance
[19:14] ---
    based on who has the higher point average.
[19:17] ---
    That kind of thing can really happen?
[19:18] ---
    Wait, that means Taiei
    has lost a game already.
[19:21] ---
    Not surprising considering
    how disjointed that team is.
[19:24] ---
    Hey, Chiba!
[19:34] ---
    Hoo boy.
[19:35] ---
    That's not good, he looks nervous as hell.
[19:37] ---
    Well, his life is pretty much
    hanging by a thread right now.
[19:50] ---
    Stay calm.
[19:51] ---
    There's still a chance!
[19:54] ---
    We've finally made it this far.
[19:55] ---
    And I sure as hell won't leave here
    without at least one win!
[20:00] ---
    Why'd I wash my hands first?!
[20:02] ---
    Shit. I'm way too nervous right now.
[20:10] ---
    It's okay. We'll definitely pull it o-
[20:12] ---
    It sure is smaller than I expected.
[20:20] ---
    Where the hell do you think
    you're looking, asswipe?!
[20:22] ---
    No, that's not what I meant.
[20:24] ---
    You've been the one pulling our team
    along this entire time, Chiba.
[20:28] ---
    Don't start wimping out
    on us right at the end.
[20:31] ---
    He's right. It's too early
    for you to retire, big man.
[20:34] ---
    I don't need you guys acting
    like dorks to cheer me up.
[20:38] ---
    Jeez...
[20:39] ---
    Shinmaruko High School
    Changing Room
[20:41] ---
    Listen up!
[20:43] ---
    Victory is the only way forward for us now!
[20:45] ---
    We've already crawled way up from the bottom!
[20:47] ---
    Let's show 'em what an
    underdog school is made of!
[20:49] ---
    YEAH!
[20:52] ---
    Um...
[20:53] ---
    Whaddya want, shrimp?
[20:55] ---
    This ain't a place for runts
    like you to just waltz into.
[20:58] ---
    Well, I just...
[21:00] ---
    All right! Let's go!
[21:01] ---
    Yeah!
[21:07] ---
    9 whole years.
[21:11] ---
    The first time I ever touched the ball
    was back in 3rd grade.
[21:16] ---
    My body is built pretty tough,
[21:18] ---
    so I've never had to miss out
    on a single day of practice.
[21:22] ---
    Watch and learn! I'll show
    you how I rock the court.
[21:27] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:29] ---
    Back in the day,
[21:32] ---
    I was a small player, myself.
[21:36] ---
    Hey! Please do your best out there!
[21:41] ---
    Attention please.
[21:43] ---
