    War Declaration
[01:43] ---
    So, that's their tallest guy.
[01:45] ---
    Compared to the likes of Maru High and Shinjo,
    this team is absolutely puny.
[01:50] ---
    I'm Yakuma, nice to meet ya.
    Everybody calls me Yakku.
[02:00] ---
    Jump ball!
[02:16] ---
    They're even?
SIGN    BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM
[02:22] ---
    I'm a... real piece of shit!
[02:32] ---
    But I'm gonna make up for it!
[02:34] ---
    Yasuhara!
[02:35] ---
    Whoa! He's wide open!
[02:45] ---
    He just scored!
[02:46] ---
    We got the first basket!
[02:50] ---
    Hell yeah!
[02:55] ---
    Um... so, Yasuhara...
[02:57] ---
    That was actually the other team's basket.
[03:01] ---
    G-goddammit...
[03:06] ---
    What exactly just happened with that shot?
[03:09] ---
    They scored on themselves.
[03:10] ---
    Okay, sorry, I've got
    to get back to work now.
[03:13] ---
    I've heard plenty of jokes
    about this sort of thing...
[03:16] ---
    but it's the first time I've
    seen anyone actually do it.
[03:18] ---
    Yakku.
[03:20] ---
    Do you know what I'm about to say to you?
[03:22] ---
    Shut your face.
[03:24] ---
    I didn't go easy on them.
[03:26] ---
    Just... shake it off, man!
    These things happen all the time!
[03:30] ---
    As if.
[03:30] ---
    B-but his shot really did go in the basket!
[03:33] ---
    Just laugh at me and be done with it.
[03:36] ---
    Don't laugh, dammit!
[03:38] ---
    Shit!
[03:39] ---
    But...
[03:41] ---
    In that moment, I felt something
    that I haven't before.
[03:43] ---
    My body reacted on its own.
[03:47] ---
    It's getting engrained in me!
[03:55] ---
    Yasuhara's gotten pretty damn good.
[03:58] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
[04:06] ---
    Don't get overwhelmed.
[04:08] ---
    I nearly forgot, this is your first time
    playing point guard right from the start, huh?
[04:13] ---
    Play it however you want.
    It's all in your hands.
[04:19] ---
    No surprise that his position is point guard.
[04:22] ---
    I wonder what kind of plays he'll make.
[04:24] ---
    Seems like he's fairly quick on his feet.
[04:26] ---
    And knows how to keep control of the ball.
[04:30] ---
    What am I getting my hopes up for?
[04:32] ---
    He's a nobody on a totally amateur team.
[04:35] ---
    Relax and stay cool!
[04:37] ---
    Oddly enough, I don't feel any of the anxiety
    that I had at the prelims.
[04:41] ---
    As long as Momoharu is under the basket,
    then there's nothing to fear!
[04:46] ---
    On that day, I truly meant every single word
    that I said to Nanao.
[04:51] ---
    I have complete faith in the skills
    of Momoharu, Chiaki, and everybody else.
[04:54] ---
    I honestly think we stand a
    real chance at beating Taiei.
[04:58] ---
    But before that... there's
    one thing that I have to do.
[05:11] ---
    A three?!
[05:12] ---
    Yes!
[05:14] ---
    Seriously? He can shoot
    long-range at his height?!
[05:32] ---
    A three-pointer...
[05:33] ---
    Again?!
[05:34] ---
    No way.
[05:42] ---
    That's two in a row!
[05:44] ---
    It hasn't even been a minute since this started
    and he's already 2 for 2?!
[05:48] ---
    You're doing great.
[05:50] ---
    Usami.
[05:51] ---
    I know. I was just a little
    surprised, that's all.
[05:56] ---
    His motions are so quick.
[05:58] ---
    And his shortness actually makes it
    hard to figure out the right timing to move in.
[06:02] ---
    If I don't approach carefully,
    it could easily end up being a foul.
[06:06] ---
    Hey!
[06:07] ---
    Wha-? Oh shit!
[06:09] ---
    White team's ball!
[06:11] ---
    Amazing! That was some
    awesome defense, Chucky!
[06:14] ---
    You're doing an excellent
    job right off the bat!
[06:19] ---
    Earth to Hyou Poohwa.
[06:21] ---
    Is your head in the game
    or still asleep? Well?
[06:24] ---
    S-sorry about that.
[06:25] ---
    The hell is up with that guy's defense?
[06:28] ---
    His technique is utter shit, but...
[06:31] ---
    Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
[06:33] ---
    Hey! Hey!
    ...it totally creeps me out!
[06:38] ---
    Nice shot!
[06:40] ---
    I'm going for one more three.
    So, I need you to screen, okay?
[06:46] ---
    We practiced the same simple
    things, day in and day out.
[06:50] ---
    If somebody asked whether that was fun,
    well, I'd say that it was dull as shit.
[06:55] ---
    So why didn't I quit back
    when I had the chance?
[07:01] ---
    Ouch!
[07:03] ---
    Switch, Hyou! You can't let #15 get away!
[07:06] ---
    Don't stand there like an idiot!
[07:10] ---
    I see what he's up to.
[07:12] ---
    Holy shit, 3 in a row?!
[07:14] ---
    He didn't hesitate in the slightest.
[07:17] ---
    He missed the third one!
[07:19] ---
    Rebound!
[07:23] ---
    Good job! Throw it here, Momoharu!
[07:27] ---
    You dumbass! It'll go out of bounds!
[07:36] ---
    This punk!
[07:39] ---
    The ball is gone!
[07:41] ---
    When the hell did he...?!
[07:43] ---
    They're gonna keep going for threes!
[07:45] ---
    He backed off?!
[07:47] ---
    To even further behind the three point line?!
[07:53] ---
    Expecting people to just cover for others
    is the wrong way to do it.
[07:56] ---
    Inspire them to have faith in you
    before you put faith in them.
[07:59] ---
    My skills belong entirely to me.
[08:02] ---
    Only I can pull them off.
[08:04] ---
    Right now, what I know I can do is...
[08:09] ---
    ...pour the very essence of my heart and soul
    into every shot!
[08:15] ---
    That's three in a row...
[08:16] ---
    This can't be real.
[08:20] ---
    You stupid little booger!
[08:23] ---
    I told you to play it however you want,
    but I didn't say you could hog the spotlight!
[08:26] ---
    O-okay...
[08:28] ---
    What kind of playstyle is that?
    They aren't even passing the ball around or anything.
[08:31] ---
    It's absolutely insane.
[08:32] ---
    No, it's not.
[08:34] ---
    Those consecutive three-pointers
    had a meaning behind them:
[08:37] ---
    "Don't misjudge me just because
    I'm on the short side."
[08:40] ---
    I'd love if we had a player like that.
    One that really knows how to break the mold.
[08:46] ---
    Short, but incredibly assertive.
    He inherited that from his mother.
[08:56] ---
    Nice.
[08:57] ---
    Thanks!
[08:58] ---
    Ow, ow, ow! Don't pinch me!
[09:02] ---
    It looks like those 3 consecutive three-pointers
    didn't discourage the other team very much.
[09:07] ---
    They're just as unshakable
    as I figured they'd be.
[09:10] ---
    Which means that now...
    it's my time to shine.
[09:13] ---
    C'mon!
[09:15] ---
    Oh! So he's playing center this time around.
[09:17] ---
    I actually was thinking about
    that during the prelims.
[09:19] ---
    He seems more suited to being an inside player
    than anywhere else on the court.
[09:24] ---
    I've also had something on my mind
    for a long time now...
[09:30] ---
    Those basketball shoes he
    has... aren't those mine?
[09:42] ---
    I screwed up!
[09:46] ---
    He's so fast!
[09:52] ---
    Way to go, Hyou!
[09:54] ---
    Nice shot!
[09:56] ---
    Listen, man...
[09:58] ---
    It's okay. Just shake it off.
[10:00] ---
    We're supposed to say that to you!
[10:01] ---
    What the heck are they doing out there?
[10:04] ---
    Nah, those can't be my shoes. I'm sure.
[10:06] ---
    The fastest and most effective method
    of scoring points in this game
[10:10] ---
    is to form pairs who can deliver
    the ball to the basket.
[10:13] ---
    Don't you think #15 and #7
    have good synergy in that sense?
[10:19] ---
    Relax! Just relax!
[10:21] ---
    Let's take this nice and easy!
[10:23] ---
    I figured as much, but we're
    definitely facing a team that'll
[10:26] ---
    take full advantage of our every mistake.
[10:28] ---
    It feels like all of Taiei's
    players are on edge.
[10:30] ---
    They were so quick to score on us.
[10:32] ---
    The crowd on our side is pretty on edge, too.
[10:35] ---
    Nobody seems able to chill out.
[10:37] ---
    Oops! Gotta stay focused!
[10:42] ---
    He's right in front of the basket! Stop him!
[10:45] ---
    Shithead!
[10:46] ---
    Yasu!
[10:48] ---
    Hiyah!
[10:51] ---
    Not on my watch!
[10:55] ---
    Defensive foul! Two free-throws!
[10:57] ---
    If you're gonna stop him then
    do it without screwing up!
[10:59] ---
    We need to avoid fouls as much as possible
    because we don't have a bench to rely on!
[11:03] ---
    Well... that was Yasu's fault.
[11:05] ---
    No, lil' Sora should take the blame
    for losing the ball in the first place.
[11:08] ---
    Uh, well, Chucky was...
[11:10] ---
    Huh? It's my fault?!
[11:12] ---
    Do they not get along?
[11:14] ---
    There's no doubt about it now.
[11:15] ---
    That #4 can jump even higher than I can.
[11:18] ---
    Yeah.
[11:19] ---
    Pretty rare to come across a guy like that.
[11:24] ---
    He nailed both free-throws!
[11:27] ---
    I don't know much about basketball,
    but it looks to me like our team is quite good at it.
[11:31] ---
    This is still only the start of the game.
[11:34] ---
    It's hard to say how
    things will go from here.
[11:36] ---
    More importantly, I really hope
    Mr. Satsuki is okay with this.
[11:40] ---
    If I remember right, wasn't
    his wife's due date today?
[11:46] ---
    Stupid mop head. He's built thin,
    but has strength that's on par with Momoharu.
[11:50] ---
    Plus, he smells kinda good.
[11:53] ---
    I really hate having to do
    things that require effort.
[12:00] ---
    As long as I pass the ball around,
    then somebody else scores the points.
[12:03] ---
    Get that juice for me.
[12:05] ---
    You called me all the way over
    from the next room just for THAT?!
[12:09] ---
    Shift it 6 degrees to the right.
[12:11] ---
    But then they'll notice it!
    We're gonna get found out!
[12:16] ---
    I enjoy making use of other people.
[12:20] ---
    That's why I always played as point guard.
[12:25] ---
    KUZURYU
[12:25] ---
    But that's yet another thing
    I'm moving on from today.
[12:28] ---
    From now on, I'm going
    to score my own points.
[12:31] ---
    I hope you're watching me, Nao!
[12:34] ---
    He's got damn good footwork for a fatass.
[12:37] ---
    My ears are burning.
[12:38] ---
    What's going on with you, Chiaki?!
[12:40] ---
    It's time for defense, c'mon!
[12:43] ---
    You're putting in too much effort
    for the first quarter, Chiaki.
[12:45] ---
    Don't blame me if you collapse later.
[12:48] ---
    We have an audience watching us today.
[12:50] ---
    So we need to put on a show.
[12:53] ---
    Wow, that's Hananzono from class 4.
[12:55] ---
    I'm surprised, I had no idea
    he was so good at basketball.
[12:59] ---
    I can't believe Chiaki put
    that much thought into this.
[13:03] ---
    He always seems like
    he's thinking about absolutely nothing!
[13:06] ---
    Huh?
[13:07] ---
    Offense! Offense! Offense! Offense! Offense!
[13:12] ---
    This is a total drag.
[13:20] ---
    Right-handed? Then he must be able
    to freely switch his pivot foot.
[13:25] ---
    It's not going in!
[13:26] ---
    Rebound!
[13:30] ---
    Nice rebound!
[13:32] ---
    Shake it off, Fuwa!
[13:33] ---
    The other team is good enough
    to participate in the inter-high, right?
[13:37] ---
    I thought this match would
    be more one-sided for sure.
[13:40] ---
    But our boys are doing pretty good!
[13:43] ---
    Okay! Pass it here!
[13:48] ---
    Those are some damn slick moves
    for someone who just quit being a point guard.
[13:52] ---
    Is he actually a genius?
[13:55] ---
    Nice shot!
[13:57] ---
    You're killing it, Chiaki!
[13:59] ---
    He's turning out to be an amazing center!
[14:01] ---
    It was such a great idea
    to switch his position!
[14:04] ---
    You really are smart, Nao!
[14:07] ---
    It's true he's doing well, but the real
    reason I had Chiaki fill the role of
[14:10] ---
    center is for more than just that.
[14:14] ---
    Nice shot!
[14:15] ---
    Gah! They scored again!
[14:18] ---
    Charging! White #13!
[14:20] ---
    Sweet! No points for them!
[14:22] ---
    Damn.
[14:23] ---
    Don't sweat it.
[14:24] ---
    Am I imagining things? Feels like
    we're kicking more ass than anybody expected.
[14:28] ---
    Despite being a top team,
    Taiei's sophomores are still diamonds in the rough.
[14:32] ---
    I don't think they have very
    much explosive power yet.
[14:36] ---
    That can't be true.
[14:37] ---
    Kitasumi and Maru High couldn't beat
[14:39] ---
    Taiei in the end, even with players
    like Taro and Chiba on their side.
[14:43] ---
    Taiei has 3 players on the court right now
    who were in that match we saw them play.
[14:47] ---
    I don't think we're doing
    as well as we think we are.
[14:49] ---
    Which means there must be
    something going on with the other team.
[14:53] ---
    One of the things I wanted
    to verify in this match...
[14:57] ---
    is whether Hyou was suitable to be a starter.
[15:00] ---
    And see how he dealt with
    the limitation of being a shooting guard.
[15:04] ---
    Hyou normally plays small forward,
    so by restricting his ability to go on the offensive
[15:08] ---
    I hoped it would widen his perspective
    and allow him to see the overall flow of the game.
[15:13] ---
    But because he's an offensive player down to the bone,
[15:15] ---
    I guess it only had a negative effect on him.
[15:19] ---
    There's no excitement in any of this!
[15:22] ---
    He drove it in alone!
[15:26] ---
    I can tell that he's getting extra frustrated
    because the other team is so mediocre.
[15:31] ---
    Sometimes all it takes is one
    player in a slump like that
[15:34] ---
    to cause friction in the entire team.
[15:37] ---
    Fuwa.
[15:39] ---
    There are a lot of other guys on the team
    that want to be out here wearing your jersey.
[15:43] ---
    Let them have it.
[15:46] ---
    When it comes to sports, the
    fewer players that are on a
[15:49] ---
    team the more intense that friction becomes.
[15:51] ---
    Yokoyama. I'm putting you in for Fuwa.
[15:54] ---
    Go show him how it's done.
[16:00] ---
    Player substitution! Yokohama Taiei!
[16:04] ---
    I guess even you can fall into a slump, huh?
[16:07] ---
    That's a relief to know.
[16:09] ---
    Senpai...!
[16:10] ---
    Look, it's Yokoyama.
[16:11] ---
    He's one of my favorites!
[16:12] ---
    Same here.
[16:12] ---
    He always says hi in the morning.
[16:12] ---
    Definitely the nicest of all the seniors.
[16:17] ---
    What's the problem, Hyou?
[16:19] ---
    Can you only get yourself motivated
    when the opponent is tough or the chips are down?
[16:24] ---
    Just so we're clear, I have no intention
    of leaving you as a sixth man forever! Hyou!
[16:29] ---
    You understand what that means, right?
[16:32] ---
    Whoa, did you hear all that?
[16:33] ---
    Yeah. I never imagined he
    was that invested in Fuwa.
[16:36] ---
    It's incredible... and he's
    a freshman just like us.
[16:42] ---
    Natsume, can you start
    getting ready to sub in?
[16:47] ---
    I have... a bad feeling about this.
[16:52] ---
    Charging! Black #5!
[16:54] ---
    Goddammit.
[16:55] ---
    I literally just got done telling everybody
    to avoid fouls, dude!
[16:59] ---
    No worries!
[17:00] ---
    One basket. I WILL score at least one!
[17:06] ---
    This guy's been pretty much
    playing full court defense.
[17:09] ---
    But they hardly have a bench,
    so how is he gonna last?
[17:18] ---
    Chucky!
[17:19] ---
    A pick and roll!
[17:21] ---
    O-on it!
[17:22] ---
    They haven't even crossed
    the half court line yet!
[17:28] ---
    He blew past them!
[17:30] ---
    Atsushi!
[17:47] ---
    The instant the ball left his hands,
    I could see its trajectory to the basket clearly...
[17:51] ---
    ...just like a line in the air.
[17:53] ---
    It's the first time I've met
    a person who could do that.
[17:56] ---
    How many more players like him
    do they have on the bench...?
[17:59] ---
    Don't ask me.
[18:01] ---
    I won't complain since it went in, but...
[18:03] ---
    Don't worry. I was just saying hello.
[18:13] ---
    Gah! So close!
[18:15] ---
    You're being too impatient, Yasu.
[18:17] ---
    Make sure to check the shot
    clock before you shoot!
[18:19] ---
    Uh, right! Sorry!
[18:20] ---
    Shit. That three-pointer
    they made really hurt us.
[18:24] ---
    It seems like the other team is
    starting to find their stride.
[18:27] ---
    Especially that #13 of theirs!
[18:30] ---
    He's more reserved than the others,
    but his skills are sharp where they count!
[18:34] ---
    Chucky! Be wary of #20 on the outside!
[18:36] ---
    Defend close enough
    that you can reach out and touch him!
[18:39] ---
    I don't care if he drives past you!
    Just focus on not letting him get in any threes!
[18:43] ---
    Roger!
[18:45] ---
    Don't just let him go!
[18:48] ---
    Nice one, Yokoyama!
[18:50] ---
    Get a grip, dude.
[18:52] ---
    My bad.
[18:56] ---
    Stay sharp, guys!
[18:57] ---
    Of course! Let's nail a basket of our own!
[19:00] ---
    Wha-?!
[19:09] ---
    That's nuts... he's so quick!
[19:11] ---
    Totally sick shot, Usami!
[19:14] ---
    Usami and Yokoyama are getting
    a lot of steals out there.
[19:17] ---
    Exactly the type of player
    you need to change the tide of a match.
[19:22] ---
    Crap!
[19:23] ---
    Momoharu!
[19:25] ---
    Again?!
[19:26] ---
    That steal from earlier psyched them out!
[19:28] ---
    The other team seems way off rhythm!
[19:31] ---
    The reason we can't get into a good rhythm
    is because of more than just the steals.
[19:40] ---
    Help!
[19:47] ---
    Shoot, he missed!
[19:48] ---
    Great!
[19:53] ---
    Yakku!
[19:57] ---
    Like hell that's happening!
[20:14] ---
    Son of a bitch!
[20:21] ---
    Timeout! Kuzuryu High School!
[20:22] ---
    The other team got really
    far ahead all of a sudden...
[20:26] ---
    We fell down by 12 points in less
    than a minute of game time.
[20:29] ---
    What a relief. I'm glad it
    didn't get any worse than that.
[20:33] ---
    Let's calm ourselves down a little.
[20:35] ---
    We're still just at the
    beginning of this match.
[20:37] ---
    Kurumatani, you need to
    rein yourself in a little.
[20:39] ---
    Drop the pace and take
    full advantage of each possession.
[20:43] ---
    If we're not securing offensive rebounds,
[20:45] ---
    then scrambling to score points
    isn't going to help us win.
[20:48] ---
    I want Chucky to sub out with Natsume.
[20:51] ---
    Huh? W-wait just a sec.
[20:53] ---
    What?
[20:54] ---
    Oh, uh, well...
[20:58] ---
    Nevermind, it's nothing.
[21:00] ---
    We don't want a repeat of the prelims.
[21:02] ---
    Do everything that you can to avoid fouling.
[21:05] ---
    The anger I held towards my teammates...
[21:08] ---
    My foolishness and silly quirks...
[21:10] ---
    ...I've cast them all aside.
[21:13] ---
    And now, I'm going to redeem
    myself in this match.
[21:17] ---
    Oh! They're putting him in.
[21:19] ---
    Hyou! Did I tell you anything about this guy?
[21:22] ---
    In the prelims-
[21:23] ---
    I know.
[21:25] ---
    And I couldn't care less.
[21:30] ---
    Listen, Natsume. I told you once before,
[21:32] ---
    but you're not allowed to
    make any one-man plays.
[21:34] ---
    Work with Kurumatani
    and keep control of the game together.
[21:37] ---
    Sure, if I feel like it.
[21:39] ---
    I can't count on you?!
[21:41] ---
    I was joking, dumbass.
[21:43] ---
    Anyway, watch out for them
    pulling a pick and roll near the half court line.
[21:48] ---
    If they catch you with that,
    it'll give them a ton of leeway.
[21:52] ---
    We'll have it tied back up in 3 minutes.
[21:56] ---
    Let's move.
[21:57] ---
    Yeah!
