[00:09] ---
    Nice defense!
[00:11] ---
    Shit! I'm not letting you go!
[00:14] ---
    Yozan!
[00:28] ---
    All right!
[00:41] ---
    A three!
[00:43] ---
    Tetsuo! Get ready to sub in.
[00:45] ---
    You did a pretty solid job.
[00:47] ---
    My opinion of you has changed a bit.
[00:49] ---
    Damn... I know I could do even more.
[00:56] ---
    Yo.
[00:58] ---
    There's 3 whole minutes left.
    Don't you dare start taking it easy.
[01:02] ---
    That's just what I was
    about to say to you, dude!
[01:09] ---
    Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
[01:12] ---
    He's totally raring for a fight.
[01:15] ---
    It's weird but I know his moves
    like I know the back of my hand.
[01:19] ---
    It's almost like I'm watching
    myself back in middle school.
[01:26] ---
    Okay!
[01:27] ---
    Hold up. That's not the kind
    of player you are, is it?!
[01:34] ---
    That idiot.
[01:35] ---
    A three!
[01:37] ---
    He's got a one-track mind that only thinks
    about scoring points when the ball is in his hands, eh?
[01:41] ---
    But to be frank, that's
    not entirely a bad thing.
[01:45] ---
    So long as those shots that he makes aren't for himself,
    but rather for the team as a whole.
[01:51] ---
    Hell yeah!
[01:56] ---
    Have you noticed it yet, Hyou?
[01:57] ---
    You're not there yet.
[01:59] ---
    The team known as Taiei
    still isn't riding upon your shoulders!
[02:05] ---
    Hey.
[02:06] ---
    You can't just rest on
    the bench forever, fool.
[02:09] ---
    That other shrimp got the better of you,
[02:11] ---
    but quit pretending like that
    means everything is over.
[02:14] ---
    I can't do anything out here
    by myself. Give me a hand.
[02:18] ---
    Kite...
[02:19] ---
    Offense! Offense! Offense! Offense!
[02:34] ---
    We're gonna look way too pathetic
    if they break 100 points in this game!
[02:39] ---
    Nice block!
[02:42] ---
    That's more like it. I'm
    feeling the heat now!
[02:48] ---
    Shigeyoshi!
[02:53] ---
    I'm the winner this time!
[02:58] ---
    Defensive foul!
[03:00] ---
    Nice play!
[03:02] ---
    You're killing it, Mineta!
[03:03] ---
    It's all you.
[03:05] ---
    One free-throw!
[03:07] ---
    I don't feel nervous at all now.
[03:11] ---
    I know that even against this
    guy who I lost to before...
[03:14] ---
    I can go toe-to-toe!
[03:18] ---
    I'm so glad... that I didn't
    give up on that day.
[03:27] ---
    I didn't make a mistake
    by choosing to continue down this road!
[03:30] ---
    Alright!
[03:31] ---
    Time to really tear it up!
[03:33] ---
    You're subbing out. That's long enough.
[03:35] ---
    HUH?!
[03:40] ---
    With 3 freshmen out there I honestly thought
    we would get backed into a corner...
[03:44] ---
    but they played surprisingly well.
[03:47] ---
    Although, our opponents are obviously
    running low on stamina.
[03:51] ---
    Hey, this game isn't over just yet.
[03:55] ---
    I wanna show them we can close the gap,
    even if just a little.
[03:59] ---
    So I'm counting on your help, Mokichi.
[04:02] ---
    Kurumatani...
[04:20] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
[04:24] ---
    The morning yields a rainbow of seven colors
[04:28] ---
    The birds all spread their wings wide
[04:31] ---
    There are no answers to be found anywhere
[04:35] ---
    So let's go and create them
[04:38] ---
    Feel it
[04:41] ---
    Feel it
[04:46] ---
    You have beautiful wings of your own
[04:49] ---
    And you will use them to fly up to the sun
[04:53] ---
    For that one sparkling moment
[04:56] ---
    Believe that you can change
    even the world itself
[05:01] ---
    We were surely born with transparent hearts
[05:08] ---
    Using our dirty shoes we will take flight
[05:12] ---
    Drawing an arch in the air
[05:15] ---
    Before the sky of tomorrow
    disappears completely
[05:22] ---
    Pass through a night of sorrow and be reborn
[05:34] ---
    The Last Period
[05:34] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
[05:38] ---
    I'm assuming... that a comeback
    is unrealistic now, huh?
[05:42] ---
    Just one offensive play in basketball
    can go up to 24 seconds.
[05:45] ---
    And there's less than 2 minutes left now.
[05:48] ---
    Since our opponents also
    use time for offense,
[05:50] ---
    the idea of us scoring 30 points is...
[05:53] ---
    ...already physically impossible.
[05:55] ---
    We can still make it happen!
    I thought that's what three-pointers were for!
[05:59] ---
    We'll do a full court press on them!
    And steal the ball over and over!
[06:03] ---
    That'll get us up 30 points
    in no time, you'll see!
[06:05] ---
    Nabe!
[06:06] ---
    This ain't baseball.
[06:08] ---
    We can't just do a walk-off grand slam here.
[06:12] ---
    I know that, man...
[06:15] ---
    Mr. Satsuki. It's okay
    if you want to leave now.
[06:18] ---
    Momoharu told me all about it.
[06:20] ---
    You're having a baby.
    Today's your wife's delivery date, right?
[06:25] ---
    Huh? It's today?!
[06:27] ---
    Wait, are you for real? Then
    you should go right away!
[06:30] ---
    I'm staying here until the very end.
[06:33] ---
    That's the responsibility I bear.
[06:39] ---
    "Responsibility"?
[06:41] ---
    Why would I say that?
[06:43] ---
    I'm not reluctant to be here at all.
[06:47] ---
    How can anybody expect these kids
    to redeem themselves more than they already have?!
[06:54] ---
    Get outta here!
[06:56] ---
    He shut it down!
[06:57] ---
    Nice block!
[06:59] ---
    Black team's ball!
[07:01] ---
    Kurumatani.
[07:02] ---
    No worries! Let's keep up the offensive!
[07:05] ---
    We're way behind with very little time left.
[07:08] ---
    Even if we want to speed things up,
    we just don't have enough stamina for that.
[07:13] ---
    It wouldn't be unreasonable for any normal player
    to have just given up by now.
[07:17] ---
    But you have an unwavering drive.
[07:20] ---
    Where does that even come from?
[07:24] ---
    You should thank your DNA for that.
[07:26] ---
    He saw right through me.
[07:29] ---
    Somewhere deep down I was still clinging to
    and relying on my mom.
[07:33] ---
    I even ended up feeling jealous of Yozan.
[07:36] ---
    I'm sorry I couldn't bring you
    into this world with a bigger body.
[07:41] ---
    On that day,
[07:42] ---
    I made a promise that from now on...
[07:44] ---
    I would stand on the court by myself!
[07:53] ---
    It's a double screen!
[08:01] ---
    That punk!
[08:03] ---
    It's another three!
[08:12] ---
    Did you know?
[08:14] ---
    When really skilled dribblers manage
    to throw defenders off their feet like that,
[08:18] ---
    it's called an "ankle breaker."
[08:24] ---
    Kite!
[08:31] ---
    It's up to you now, beanstalk!
[08:35] ---
    They did it!
[08:37] ---
    We finally scored one in the paint!
[08:39] ---
    Basket counts! One free-throw!
[08:42] ---
    Player substitution for Yokohama Taiei!
[08:47] ---
    Time to sub out, Fuwa.
[08:49] ---
    Wait a damn second.
[08:50] ---
    Huh?
[08:51] ---
    Uh, p-please wait a moment!
[08:53] ---
    You've already got 4 fouls.
[08:54] ---
    Even if you keep playing,
    you'll just end up fouling out almost immediately.
[08:59] ---
    Face it. You don't have what
    it takes to stop that #11.
[09:05] ---
    Do you get it now?
[09:07] ---
    There's a limit to what you
    can do with that playstyle.
[09:10] ---
    This is a team sport.
[09:12] ---
    No matter how ambitious you may be,
[09:16] ---
    you can't win when it's 5-on-1.
[09:18] ---
    Nice shot!
[09:19] ---
    You just gonna wait for Kamiki
    to get a spot on the bench? Well?
[09:25] ---
    I'm countin' on your help!
[09:28] ---
    Relying upon others is a sign of a weakness.
[09:31] ---
    And being relied upon
    is nothing but a burden.
[09:34] ---
    I wanna... become strong
    enough to stand alone!
[09:37] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
[09:40] ---
    This guy AGAIN?!
[09:42] ---
    Yo. So I hear you're aiming
    for the inter-high.
[09:47] ---
    For the remaining minute...
[09:49] ---
    I'll show you guys exactly where
    you fit in the big picture.
[09:53] ---
    Huh? What does that mean?
[09:58] ---
    He slipped past him!
[10:00] ---
    Considering that Chiaki has a flexible body,
    quick reaction times,
[10:03] ---
    and really sharp instincts...
[10:06] ---
    his proficiency at playing defense should go
    above and beyond most other players in the game.
[10:11] ---
    And yet...
[10:12] ---
    Block it!
[10:14] ---
    What a jump!
[10:18] ---
    Nothing but net!
[10:19] ---
    And over a block, too!
[10:20] ---
    Holy shit, did you see that?!
[10:23] ---
    He was facing a block way taller than him,
    but he arched his shot right over it!
[10:27] ---
    Not to mention that he was still
    pretty far from the basket!
[10:29] ---
    I know he's one of our guys,
    but I hope I never have to play against him!
[10:36] ---
    You dumbass! What the hell was that?!
[10:41] ---
    Another one!
[10:43] ---
    A three right off a steal!
[10:46] ---
    What is happening?
[10:48] ---
    What is this guy trying to do?
[10:50] ---
    I'll show you guys exactly where
    you fit in the big picture.
[10:55] ---
    "The big picture"?
[10:57] ---
    Screw that. You don't have any
    right to show us jack shi-!
[11:01] ---
    Nice cut!
[11:05] ---
    Foul!
[11:14] ---
    Defensive foul!
[11:15] ---
    The basket counts! One free-throw!
[11:18] ---
    What the hell is this guy made of?!
[11:23] ---
    He sunk the bonus free-throw!
[11:25] ---
    We have a 37-point lead now!
[11:27] ---
    Unbelievable...
[11:29] ---
    This guy is incredible!
[11:31] ---
    You're Natsume, yeah?
[11:31] ---
    Defense! Defense! Defense! Defense!
[11:33] ---
    I'll be sure to remember your name.
[11:35] ---
    We consider ourselves lucky
    that someone knocked Fuwa down a peg.
[11:39] ---
    Because now he can take the next step.
[11:45] ---
    Oh crap! Kite!
[11:47] ---
    Out of bounds! White team's ball!
[11:50] ---
    Hey, Nabe! I need you ready to sub in!
[11:53] ---
    R-right!
[11:54] ---
    Nice defense, Yokoyama!
[11:56] ---
    What "next step"?
[12:00] ---
    The hell does that mean?
[12:02] ---
    You provoked him into awakening it.
[12:04] ---
    His true potential.
[12:07] ---
    Offense! Offense! Offense! Offense!
[12:17] ---
    Oh man, we are getting bulldozed.
[12:20] ---
    Even though there's less than
    a minute left on the clock.
[12:22] ---
    Please... just let this end already!
[12:29] ---
    This sucks.
[12:31] ---
    It really did start raining on us.
[12:34] ---
    I guess we should've bought
    an umbrella earlier, huh?
[12:36] ---
    I'm totally not a fan of the rain.
[12:39] ---
    Whaddya wanna do? Go inside somewhere?
[12:43] ---
    Nah. I'm good.
[12:46] ---
    I want to stay here and watch the rain.
[12:50] ---
    I've always sort of enjoyed
    days when it rains.
[12:54] ---
    The sound of water falling...
[12:56] ---
    The raindrops that look just like marbles...
[12:59] ---
    The dimly lit classroom...
[13:02] ---
    The glimmering streaks on the windows...
[13:04] ---
    A truck causing a big splash
    somewhere in the distance...
[13:08] ---
    The totally empty gym...
[13:10] ---
    The dusty smell that
    drifts through the air...
[13:13] ---
    It all felt comfortable to me.
[13:16] ---
    And yet now,
[13:17] ---
    all the rain does...
[13:19] ---
    is sting.
[13:27] ---
    Pushing! Black #7!
[13:29] ---
    Basket counts! One free-throw!
[13:31] ---
    He scored again!
[13:32] ---
    That's his fifth basket in a row!
[13:33] ---
    Again?
[13:35] ---
    Just how many points has
    that #10 scored on us now?
[13:39] ---
    Since our opponents also
    use time for offense,
[13:41] ---
    the idea of us scoring 30 points is...
[13:43] ---
    ...already physically impossible.
[13:47] ---
    In the span of about 30 seconds,
    that guy has scored 12 points by himself?!
[13:56] ---
    You're a nasty piece of work, dude.
[13:57] ---
    I can't believe you went
    easy on us this whole time.
[14:01] ---
    Is that supposed to be a joke?
[14:02] ---
    I'd never take it easy on anyone,
    even if I was playing preschoolers.
[14:06] ---
    The king of cold blood...
[14:08] ---
    I was just doing the same
    as a certain someone...
[14:10] ---
    and taking an opportunity
    to play however I felt like.
[14:18] ---
    This is whack. That prick needs to learn
    a lesson about not hoarding the ball.
[14:22] ---
    Huh?
[14:22] ---
    Fake going for a block and give him an elbow.
[14:25] ---
    Got it? Elbow.
[14:27] ---
    Do you hate him or what?
[14:31] ---
    You really are coming close.
[14:32] ---
    Out of all the teams we've played of late,
    you guys are definitely in the ballpark.
[14:35] ---
    Props.
[14:37] ---
    Next year... rise up and face us again. Okay?
[14:45] ---
    I thought that winning this
    would change something.
[14:47] ---
    Momoharu!
[14:49] ---
    And even if we didn't win, I still thought
    that some kind of change would happen.
[14:53] ---
    It bounced off!
[14:55] ---
    But it's not.
[14:57] ---
    I have to change myself first...
[15:00] ---
    before I can change anything else!
[15:05] ---
    A three!
[15:07] ---
    That's his sixth consecutive basket!
[15:08] ---
    Whoa...
[15:09] ---
    Insane.
[15:11] ---
    Now THAT'S what I call a monster.
[15:15] ---
    Son of a bitch...
[15:19] ---
    Don't get sloppy! The game isn't over yet!
[15:27] ---
    This isn't the end.
[15:29] ---
    I'm not gonna let it end.
[15:34] ---
    Nothing... has even started for us yet!
[15:40] ---
    There's no way in hell that
    I'm letting this end...
[15:42] ---
    without doing something!
[15:46] ---
    Nabe!
[15:47] ---
    Go, Nabe!
[15:49] ---
    Leave this one to me!
[15:51] ---
    Here we...
[15:54] ---
    ...go!
[15:56] ---
    Time's up!
[16:01] ---
    That's the end of the match!
[16:25] ---
    Thank you for coming to play us today.
    I know it was a long trip.
[16:29] ---
    Oh no, I should be thanking you.
[16:30] ---
    We had that rude interruption in the middle
    of the match. I'm really sorry about that.
[16:35] ---
    I understand why your team
    made it to the inter-high.
[16:38] ---
    This match made me realize
    that we live in entirely different worlds.
[16:42] ---
    Not at all. My team still
    needs a lot of improvement.
[16:45] ---
    It would be nice for us to meet again
    at an official match sometime.
[16:49] ---
    Yes.
[16:50] ---
    Ah, actually... I'm sorry to say,
    that might be impossible on our end.
[16:58] ---
    Say, Mr. Satsuki.
[17:00] ---
    Yes?
[17:02] ---
    Just a moment ago, you said our teams
    are in "different worlds."
[17:06] ---
    But... they're all kids
    in high school, you know.
[17:10] ---
    Most of them even in the same grade.
[17:12] ---
    The only difference is one team is active
    and the other is not.
[17:15] ---
    That's it.
[17:19] ---
    I've heard the details about what happened.
[17:21] ---
    And well, I realize that you
    and the school must have a lot to consider.
[17:25] ---
    But the punishments that we adults
    dole out tend to be different
[17:29] ---
    from what kids inflict upon
    themselves out of guilt.
[17:33] ---
    And most importantly,
    there is one thing you can be certain of.
[17:37] ---
    Those kids are truly
    motivated to play the game.
[17:41] ---
    Without a place to exert that driving force,
    it'll fade away. There won't be another chance.
[17:47] ---
    Look, it's started raining.
[17:49] ---
    Really?
[17:50] ---
    That's what the forecast said this morning.
[17:53] ---
    But my mom didn't listen when I told her
    not to put the jeans out to dry.
[17:56] ---
    I'm totally parched.
    Somebody go get me juice and ice cream.
[18:00] ---
    Go and do it yourself.
[18:02] ---
    When I find the energy to stand up
    I'm gonna smash your face in.
[18:05] ---
    There's some milk here if you want.
[18:07] ---
    I think that's... probably already gone bad.
[18:10] ---
    Don't be stupid. It's
    not bad, just fermented.
[18:16] ---
    Unbelievable, those Taiei guys
    are still going at it out there.
[18:20] ---
    Apparently they're gonna go
    meet up with the seniors,
[18:22] ---
    and play a practice match
    with another school.
[18:26] ---
    Absolute monsters.
[18:29] ---
    My stomach hurts...
[18:30] ---
    Did you drink it?! Did you
    actually drink the milk?!
[18:33] ---
    I tried to tell you...
    that it had gone bad...
[18:40] ---
    I wonder what's gonna
    happen... with our team.
[18:43] ---
    We got totally crushed in that match.
[18:45] ---
    And most of the teachers
    didn't even stay to watch...
[18:50] ---
    Is this it? Are we never gonna play
    basketball here again?
[18:56] ---
    Speaking of... where's
    the Captain gone off to?
[19:00] ---
    Momoharu got called
    to the principal's office not too long ago.
[19:02] ---
    Principal's Office
[19:06] ---
    Good work today. It was
    a very impressive match.
[19:11] ---
    I'm sorry.
[19:14] ---
    The other team is representing
    Kanagawa at nationals.
[19:16] ---
    You losing to them was, well,
    not entirely unexpected.
[19:21] ---
    However, results do not mean everything.
[19:25] ---
    You boys more than managed
    to make your feelings clear...
[19:28] ---
    to me at least.
[19:31] ---
    Application to form
    New Club or Clique
[19:32] ---
    In regards to an advisor for your new clique,
    all I can say is that the outlook is not good.
[19:37] ---
    In any case, it's not something that we can expect
    to hear an immediate answer on.
[19:41] ---
    It's certainly possible that one of the teachers
    may come around to the idea given time.
[19:45] ---
    It wouldn't do any harm to
    just wait patiently for now.
[19:49] ---
    Yes, sir.
[19:50] ---
    Listen, Hanazono...
[19:52] ---
    Yes?
[19:54] ---
    I feel the exact same way
    that the principal does.
[20:00] ---
    Most of the sports teams at our school,
    including the baseball team,
[20:02] ---
    haven't made any significant
    accomplishments over the years.
[20:06] ---
    In light of that, I must say that today's match provided
    me with some real excitement,
[20:11] ---
    despite knowing little of basketball.
[20:13] ---
    To get right to the point,
[20:15] ---
    I am willing to serve as
    their advisor, provided my
[20:17] ---
    position as vice principal
    doesn't get in the way.
[20:20] ---
    Mrs. Totsuka...
[20:22] ---
    However,
[20:23] ---
    I know that all of you boys declared
    to the principal that you would win this match.
[20:28] ---
    So tell me,
[20:29] ---
    are you willing to accept this solution
[20:31] ---
    to your original problem despite
    the fact that you lost the game?
[20:39] ---
    No, I can't accept that.
[20:42] ---
    But only personally.
[20:44] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:48] ---
    I'm not alone.
[20:50] ---
    The friends who I caused
    stupid problems with...
[20:53] ---
    and the friends who I dragged
    into those problems...
[20:57] ---
    they're all people I cherish.
[21:00] ---
    My own personal pride is hardly worth shit.
[21:03] ---
    I know accepting this makes us look pathetic.
[21:06] ---
    But I don't care.
[21:09] ---
    What I want more than anything...
    is to be able to keep playing basketball with them!
[21:13] ---
    Please become our advisor! We need you!
[21:18] ---
    There is one thing that
    I need you to understand.
[21:21] ---
    The problems you boys have caused...
[21:24] ---
    Each and every one of those
    transgressions will never disappear,
[21:27] ---
    no matter how you try to atone for them.
[21:30] ---
    They are something that you
    must learn to live with.
[21:35] ---
    What "redemption" really means
    is not something you do for yourself.
[21:38] ---
    It means going to the people who love you,
    and the people who looked out for you,
[21:43] ---
    and paying back the debt of
    gratitude you owe to them.
[21:46] ---
    You must never forget that.
[21:48] ---
    As the school's officials,
    we will assign you a new advisor.
[21:52] ---
    Your new team is officially
    recognized as of now.
[22:17] ---
    I know that realizing dreams
[22:22] ---
    Is not an easy thing to accomplish, but
[22:27] ---
    Those who say it's impossible
    from the beginning
[22:32] ---
    Can't see light with their eyes
[22:37] ---
    Up above in the sky are the fixed stars
[22:43] ---
    That always shine bright with life
[22:48] ---
    I can, too

[22:55] ---
    Radiating the light of
    revolution towards the goal
[23:01] ---
    Nobody can know the outcome
    until the very last second
[23:07] ---
    I'll keep on running and improving
    until I don't recognize myself
[23:14] ---
    Step 1! Focus on winning
[23:16] ---
    Step 2! Imagine the future
[23:19] ---
    Step 3! Just penetrate through at full power
