[00:08] ---
    Another one!
[00:10] ---
    Nice shot, Sora!
[00:11] ---
    Come on, man. You can play better than that.
[00:15] ---
    That settles it.
[00:16] ---
    We're putting two defenders on him.
[00:19] ---
    I can handle him fine on my own.
[00:21] ---
    Huh?
[00:24] ---
    Because I just found... his one weakness.
[00:28] ---
    That runt's one weakness?
[00:30] ---
    Hah, I could've told you that.
[00:32] ---
    It's the fact that he's incredibly short!
[00:34] ---
    Anybody can figure that out with a glance.
[00:36] ---
    Please at least put some thought into it.
[00:39] ---
    D-don't be stupid!
[00:40] ---
    I HAVE been thinking about it!
[00:42] ---
    To make sure that runt can't get in the paint,
    we should switch to zone defense and...
[00:47] ---
    No. We should just keep it man-to-man.
[00:50] ---
    Huh?
[00:51] ---
    I told you. I can handle him fine on my own.
[00:57] ---
    He's just a tiny bird.
[00:59] ---
    It will only take me...
[01:02] ---
    ...about a minute to break his wings.
[01:18] ---
    Where to go? The land, sea or sky?
[01:21] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
[01:22] ---
    I wanna invite you to come along
[01:25] ---
    The pages of our story have started to turn
[01:32] ---
    If you lose your nerve then recycle it
[01:35] ---
    And let it push you past hesitation
[01:38] ---
    Give and go! With the flow
[01:46] ---
    Instincts that are buried deep
    will always rear their head again
[01:52] ---
    People can't just hide the
    dreams they once dreamed of
[01:59] ---
    Even if these wings can't fly
[02:02] ---
    We want to spread them
    wide and embrace the sky
[02:09] ---
    Becoming the people who we want to be
[02:12] ---
    You never know, the impossible
    could be possible tomorrow
[02:19] ---
    So let's keep up the struggle
[02:23] ---
    Happy go ducky!
[02:35] ---
    Broken Wings
[02:36] ---
    Hell yeah!
[02:38] ---
    Maru High is on fire now!
[02:40] ---
    Sorry, I let 'em get past me too easily.
[02:43] ---
    Don't get all gloomy just
    because they scored one on us.
[02:47] ---
    We're on offense now! Keep
    your heads in the game!
[02:52] ---
    Hey.
[02:53] ---
    Tokiwa's got that kid in his sights!
[02:55] ---
    He's not gonna let the shrimp
    have the ball for very long!
[02:57] ---
    He's gotten serious about
    stopping me from scoring!
[03:01] ---
    That expression just says, "bring it on."
[03:04] ---
    Well then...
[03:05] ---
    ...consider it brought, kid!
[03:12] ---
    Whoops.
[03:13] ---
    He's got a lot of skill, for sure.
[03:16] ---
    I can't afford to let my
    guard down for even a second.
[03:18] ---
    Shoot! So close!
[03:20] ---
    He almost shook off that defender!
[03:22] ---
    That move would have worked
    against any normal player.
[03:25] ---
    But Maru High's #11... he's really good.
[03:28] ---
    Sora is pushing him back though,
    a little bit at a time.
[03:32] ---
    Yo! Don't hold on to the ball for too long!
[03:34] ---
    The shot clock will run out!
[03:37] ---
    What the hell is a "shot clock"?
[03:39] ---
    Uh, rule #8:
[03:42] ---
    "Once a team gains control of the ball,
    they have 24 seconds to put up a shot."
[03:46] ---
    Quit screwing around! Make
    yourselves open for a pass!
[03:49] ---
    Tinytown! Pass!
[03:52] ---
    Oh? You're going to pass it?
[03:56] ---
    TINY
[03:57] ---
    Fly!
[04:01] ---
    Keep it up, Tinytown!
[04:03] ---
    Tokiwa!
[04:15] ---
    I knew it.
[04:17] ---
    That's the first time he's missed!
[04:18] ---
    Rebound!
[04:22] ---
    That guy, again?! How many rebounds
    has he gotten already?!
[04:26] ---
    Uh... 10 of them!
[04:28] ---
    10?!
[04:32] ---
    They're trying to completely
    shut him out of the paint!
[04:34] ---
    But Sora's managing to
    outmaneuver the defense!
[04:37] ---
    Just look, he's dodging past him
    and making his way to the left side.
[04:41] ---
    No.
[04:42] ---
    Sora's not dodging anything.
[04:45] ---
    Their #11 is making moves
    to force him over there.
[04:48] ---
    He's intentionally pressing
    Sora on his right side,
[04:51] ---
    to shut him down from making
    any progress in that direction.
[04:55] ---
    But why would he do that?
[04:57] ---
    That spin you did earlier
    was really impressive.
[05:00] ---
    But I know...
[05:05] ---
    ...that wasn't meant to avoid me.
[05:08] ---
    You were running from...
    the side of the court that you hate.
[05:13] ---
    Isn't that right?
[05:19] ---
    Go in!
[05:22] ---
    He went for it!
[05:25] ---
    You're not good at making
    shots from the left side.
[05:28] ---
    And that is an...
[05:31] ---
    ...absolutely fatal weakness.
[05:35] ---
    Out of bounds!
[05:37] ---
    Shinmaruko's ball!
[05:41] ---
    Hey Ref! We're taking a timeout!
[05:45] ---
    Kuzuryu High has called a timeout!
[05:48] ---
    Sora Kurumatani.
[05:52] ---
    Birds that have had their wings broken...
[05:55] ---
    ...can do nothing but fall.
[06:02] ---
    So that shorty can't
    shoot from the left side?
[06:05] ---
    Nice job working that out, Tokiwa.
[06:07] ---
    It was simple, really.
[06:09] ---
    Any level-headed player would have used
    their teammate's screen to avoid me,
[06:13] ---
    and then shot a three-pointer
    in that totally open space.
[06:17] ---
    But he even didn't hesitate.
[06:19] ---
    He instinctively went to the side
    where he feels most comfortable.
[06:23] ---
    It's a very common mistake among players
    who don't have much experience in real games.
[06:27] ---
    Simply put, the fact you're
    not accustomed to playing
[06:30] ---
    in games is the greatest
    weakness that you have.
[06:34] ---
    Don't start screwing us over now, pipsqueak!
[06:37] ---
    What the hell happened
    on those last two shots?!
[06:39] ---
    You're the only one on this team
    who can score us any damn points!
[06:42] ---
    Hey! Cut it out, you guys!
[06:44] ---
    Those three-point shots aren't as easy
    to make as you think!
[06:47] ---
    It's you three who should be
    putting in more effort out there, anyway!
[06:50] ---
    Why the hell do we have
    to pick up the slack for his screw-ups?!
[06:54] ---
    She has a point, but I know
    where the guys are coming from.
[06:57] ---
    Until now, expecting every shot he made
    to go in was like second nature to us.
[07:02] ---
    Don't let it get you down, man.
[07:03] ---
    We haven't lost the game ye-
[07:04] ---
    I was just unlucky on those last two shots!
[07:07] ---
    Next time...
[07:09] ---
    I swear to you that I
    won't miss the next time!
[07:12] ---
    Sorry to keep you!
[07:16] ---
    Please accept my apologies for being late.
[07:19] ---
    You are Chiaki Hanazono, right?
[07:22] ---
    Holy shit! She came! She actually came!
    My waiting finally paid off!
[07:28] ---
    But...
[07:32] ---
    ...I still feel a bit heartbroken.
[07:34] ---
    For some reason.
[07:36] ---
    W-well hey, how do you feel about getting
    a cup of tea somewhere?
[07:40] ---
    Um, if you don't mind, I would really like
    to go to Kuzuryu High School.
[07:44] ---
    Huh? To Kuzu High?
[07:46] ---
    They're having a basketball game
    at your school today, right?
[07:50] ---
    Huh?
[07:51] ---
    Actually...
[07:53] ---
    ...I'm a big fan of Tokiwa
    on the Maru High team!
[07:59] ---
    Nice pass!
[08:04] ---
    Not happening!
[08:13] ---
    Defensive foul! The basket
    counts. One free throw!
[08:19] ---
    Too small to handle me.
[08:21] ---
    Your team just looks like a bunch of ants!
[08:25] ---
    He completely forced back
    the hand I fouled him with.
[08:27] ---
    How do you even get that strong?!
[08:32] ---
    Wait a damn minute!
[08:33] ---
    You just scored a basket,
    so why the hell are you getting a free throw?!
[08:38] ---
    Calm down, Yasu.
[08:39] ---
    It's because I fouled him.
[08:42] ---
    Any player that gets fouled
    on a shot is awarded free throws.
[08:45] ---
    If the shot misses, they get two.
[08:48] ---
    If it goes in, they still get one.
[08:49] ---
    Shinmaruko
[08:49] ---
    Kuzuryu
[08:50] ---
    Then, that means...
[08:52] ---
    The two-pointer plus free
    throw gets them three points.
[08:55] ---
    Keep it up, Chiba!
[08:57] ---
    This is what real skill looks like!
    Unlike that Kuzu High trash!
[09:00] ---
    "Real skill," huh?
[09:03] ---
    That pass was one of the
    best I've seen, Tokiwa.
[09:03] ---
    Ever since that Tokiwa guy
    started to run interference on Sora,
[09:05] ---
    It was nothing much. I'd say your
    dunk was far more impressive.
[09:06] ---
    our team hasn't managed
    to score a single point.
[09:10] ---
    Hang in there, Sora.
[09:19] ---
    His moves have started
    to lose their sharpness.
[09:23] ---
    No matter how much he
    trained to build stamina,
[09:24] ---
    the fatigue that comes
    from dealing with stress
[09:26] ---
    is totally unavoidable until he gains
    more experience on the court.
[09:29] ---
    Basically...
[09:31] ---
    ...you're still too much
    of a rookie to be a threat.
[09:34] ---
    Eat my dust!
[09:39] ---
    This is just getting worse...
[09:41] ---
    ...they're not even letting
    him take shots now!
[09:43] ---
    Sick moves, Tokiwa!
[09:44] ---
    They're wide open! Go and
    score us some easy points!
[09:48] ---
    This reminds me.
[09:49] ---
    I owe you for that stunt
    you pulled last time.
[09:52] ---
    And this is the perfect chance...
[09:53] ---
    ...to pay you back with interest!
[09:56] ---
    He didn't jump very high!
    I can still reach him!
[10:00] ---
    No, Sora! Don't!
[10:09] ---
    Defensive foul! The basket
    counts. One free throw.
[10:10] ---
    Whoa! That was nuts!
[10:12] ---
    He switched up the ball in midair!
[10:15] ---
    Incredible.
[10:17] ---
    He jumped short on purpose to lure the foul,
[10:19] ---
    then used a double clutch to make the basket.
[10:27] ---
    Hell yeah, Tokiwa!
[10:29] ---
    Another 3 points for us!
[10:31] ---
    He stole the ball from Sora
    and then used it to score 3 points on him.
[10:36] ---
    Sora's not just losing to them
    in the height department, but also in plain skill.
[10:39] ---
    There's nothing that could be
    more disheartening to him than that.
[10:51] ---
    Hey guys! It's almost to the point
    where you're just beating a dead horse!
[10:55] ---
    Don't start holding back now! Drive them
    so far into the dirt that they never get back up!
[11:00] ---
    I tried to tell him.
[11:02] ---
    There was no hope of us
    actually playing a solid game.
[11:05] ---
    So, this guy must be Tokiwa.
[11:08] ---
    He plays pretty well, I guess.
[11:11] ---
    But...
[11:12] ---
    Oh, Tokiwa!
[11:14] ---
    ...I can't stand the fact that
    he's got better looks than me!
[11:19] ---
    Hiyah!
[11:21] ---
    #1, defensive foul!
[11:23] ---
    Look at that!
[11:24] ---
    I think that idiot is
    already on his fourth foul!
[11:26] ---
    What a dipshit. One more and he gets thrown out
    like a piece of trash!
[11:29] ---
    I told you to be more careful, Yasu!
[11:31] ---
    Sorry.
[11:32] ---
    It's a habit I picked up from karate.
[11:35] ---
    But don't sweat it.
[11:37] ---
    Even if they take me out, I'll
    be back before you know it.
[11:40] ---
    This is like, one of
    those sports where you go
[11:42] ---
    to the penalty box for a bit
    and then come back, right?
[11:45] ---
    Nah. You don't get to come back.
[11:47] ---
    What?!
[11:48] ---
    If you get ejected from the game,
[11:50] ---
    then we have to play the
    rest with only four players.
[11:52] ---
    Are you serious?
[11:54] ---
    Listen, no matter what happens
    don't you dare foul anybody else!
[11:58] ---
    If they come charging in while we're on defense,
    make sure to keep some distance!
[12:00] ---
    Th-that's easy for you to say.
[12:10] ---
    Pushing!
[12:11] ---
    #1 on defense!
[12:13] ---
    Huh?!
[12:16] ---
    H-hold on a second!
[12:18] ---
    I barely even bumped into the guy!
[12:20] ---
    Uh, well, a foul is still a foul.
[12:24] ---
    And that's your fifth, so
    you're ejected from the game.
[12:26] ---
    Those idiots. The game is totally over now.
[12:28] ---
    Nice job, Kuchiki!
[12:31] ---
    It's easy to bait a foul from
    a bunch of rank amateurs.
[12:36] ---
    Hey, Ref.
[12:37] ---
    Yes?
[12:38] ---
    Timeout for us.
[12:39] ---
    Uh, sure.
[12:42] ---
    Shinmaruko has called a timeout!
[12:45] ---
    Hey Chiba.
[12:46] ---
    Why call a timeout now?
[12:48] ---
    You're pretty much just giving
    the other team a chance to recoup.
[12:52] ---
    Don't be such a stiff, Tokiwa.
    Let them have a break at the very least.
[12:56] ---
    They're so far behind at this
    point, I almost pity them.
[13:00] ---
    Maybe we should knock ourselves down
    to four players, too.
[13:04] ---
    Hey Kuchiki.
[13:06] ---
    Baiting that fifth foul was a cheap move.
    Knock that shit off.
[13:09] ---
    But, come on, everybody does it!
[13:11] ---
    You know there was no good
    reason for you to pull a foul
[13:13] ---
    from someone who doesn't even have the ball.
[13:16] ---
    And you too, Choji.
[13:18] ---
    When you had that free shot
    from under the basket, why didn't you dunk it?
[13:20] ---
    Uh, but I...
[13:22] ---
    If you can dunk it then you should dunk it!
[13:25] ---
    Our team has no excuse
    not to put our best into every play we make!
[13:28] ---
    Quit sitting here and pretending
    this is a damn walk in the park!
[13:31] ---
    You feel pity for the other team?!
[13:33] ---
    You want to do this with only four players?!
[13:35] ---
    I don't want to hear any
    more of that bullshit!
[13:38] ---
    We came here to play basketball
    and that's what we're going to do!
[13:41] ---
    You got that?!
[13:42] ---
    Y-yeah.
[13:45] ---
    You know, I actually quite
    like that side of you, Chiba.
[13:48] ---
    Huh?
[13:49] ---
    Th-this ain't the time for jokes.
[13:54] ---
    Thank God, a break!
[13:56] ---
    I think we should be done with
    the second quarter pretty soon, anyway.
[14:01] ---
    There's still a whole 4 minutes left?!
[14:07] ---
    I was realistic enough
    to know there'd be gap.
[14:09] ---
    But I never imagined it would be this bad.
[14:18] ---
    Welp.
[14:19] ---
    It's time for them to call it quits.
[14:22] ---
    Excuse me...
[14:24] ---
    What's your plan?
[14:26] ---
    Would you like to keep going?
[14:27] ---
    From what I can see, you have
    no substitutes available.
[14:30] ---
    Goddammit... Is this how it ends?
[14:33] ---
    Not yet. We'll keep playing.
[14:38] ---
    Really, Sora?
[14:40] ---
    It's true that we're down
    to just four players.
[14:42] ---
    And the gap in skill between our teams
    may be too far apart.
[14:46] ---
    But they picked this fight with us,
    so let's see it through to the end!
[14:50] ---
    If we back down now,
[14:51] ---
    then we lose for sure!
[14:54] ---
    I still...
[14:56] ---
    I still... want to win!
[15:10] ---
    Yeah! We're up 44 points at halftime!
[15:10] ---
    Shinmaruko
    Kuzuryu
[15:12] ---
    These guys were absolute trash to begin with,
[15:14] ---
    and now they definitely can't
    win with only four players!
[15:16] ---
    Hurry up and go crying home
    to mama, little babies!
[15:19] ---
    Finally, some down time.
[15:21] ---
    How long does halftime last?
[15:23] ---
    10 minutes.
[15:25] ---
    Can we make it a week, instead?
[15:27] ---
    Listen Tinytown,
[15:29] ---
    I know you wanna win,
    but aren't we up shit creek without a paddle here?
[15:32] ---
    Not at all!
[15:34] ---
    We may be down, but we are not out!
[15:36] ---
    Hey Chuckie! Are you feeling hungry at all?
[15:39] ---
    If I ate now, I think I'd
    puke after about 3 seconds.
[15:41] ---
    Yo Nabe! Do you feel thirsty?
[15:44] ---
    I'm dying for a drink, but
    I ran out of mine already.
[15:47] ---
    Then I'll go buy a new
    one for you, just wait!
[15:54] ---
    Sorry, man. It's totally my fault
    this ended up being four-on-five.
[15:57] ---
    There's nothing we can do about it now.
[15:59] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[16:00] ---
    So hey, Momoharu.
[16:02] ---
    Didn't Chiaki used to play basketball together
    with you back in middle school?
[16:06] ---
    Uh, yeah.
[16:07] ---
    Take a look up there.
[16:09] ---
    When the hell did he show up?
[16:11] ---
    I'll go up there and ask
    him to do us a favor.
[16:13] ---
    We'll have him join in
    for the second half of the game and...
[16:16] ---
    Don't bother.
[16:17] ---
    Huh?
[16:18] ---
    I can tell you for a fact that Chiaki
    wants nothing to do with this game,
[16:21] ---
    especially considering the dire situation
    we're in right now.
[16:25] ---
    Back in middle school,
[16:27] ---
    our team was matched against the #1 school
    in the whole league for the tournament qualifier.
[16:32] ---
    Shonan Academy
    Nakahara
[16:33] ---
    We got absolutely thrashed in the first half.
[16:36] ---
    Then right when the second half
    was about to start, that punk Chiaki...
[16:40] ---
    He just up and left?!
[16:42] ---
    Yep.
[16:43] ---
    He totally ditched the game and went off
    to eat ice cream at a nearby store.
[16:47] ---
    When I found him, I asked
    why he decided to leave.
[16:51] ---
    I mean...
[16:52] ---
    ...there's no point if we can't win!
[16:57] ---
    He looks like the type
    who doesn't give a damn,
[16:59] ---
    but he actually really cares about
    what people say and think about him.
[17:04] ---
    And there's nothing he hates more
    than being seen as uncool.
[17:12] ---
    Aw man...
[17:17] ---
    Huh?
[17:31] ---
    Madoka?
[17:34] ---
    You know, you really are...
[17:37] ---
    ...a terrible liar.
[17:44] ---
    Okay, let me see your arm.
[17:48] ---
    Ow!
[17:50] ---
    You've got a muscle cramp in your right arm.
[17:53] ---
    Any shots you take with it
    aren't going to reach the basket.
[17:59] ---
    That's crazy talk! I'm not done yet!
[18:01] ---
    Just look, it's totally fine!
[18:04] ---
    You don't have to keep
    pushing yourself so hard,
[18:06] ---
    everyone's acknowledged
    how good you are at this point.
[18:14] ---
    To be honest, despite my size,
    I thought I would have more of an impact in this game.
[18:20] ---
    But I don't think I could have won against Tokiwa,
    even if we were the same height.
[18:26] ---
    Sora...
[18:28] ---
    However, I wasn't lying when
    I said that I'm not done yet.
[18:33] ---
    The match can't end this
    way. I refuse to let it end.
[18:37] ---
    I know there's still... a way
    for me to make a difference.
[18:45] ---
    Hot damn! It wasn't even been 4 seconds
    since the second half started!
[18:49] ---
    Shinmaruko
    Kuzuryu
[18:50] ---
    They're not holding back even
    though it's five-on-four!
[18:52] ---
    Hey Chuckie! Over here!
[18:59] ---
    Just one hand?
[19:00] ---
    Up until now, he's used both hands
    to control the ball and throw in a number of fakes.
[19:07] ---
    He must not be able to
    raise his right hand, then.
[19:12] ---
    The defense is double-teaming him now!
[19:15] ---
    He was already having enough trouble
    with that Tokiwa guy alone.
[19:18] ---
    Sora...
[19:20] ---
    Choji. You don't have to worry about
    defending him outside.
[19:22] ---
    Huh?
[19:24] ---
    He won't be shooting threes anymore.
[19:37] ---
    I'm tired of this!
[19:39] ---
    My arm is too sore to shoot!
[19:42] ---
    Well, isn't that a shame?
[19:44] ---
    I can't help it!
[19:50] ---
    I guess now's a good time.
[19:55] ---
    Time for me to teach you...
    how your mom shoots a basket!
[20:00] ---
    How you shoot a basket?
[20:02] ---
    That's right.
[20:03] ---
    If you do it my way, then it might even help
    take some of the strain off your arm!
[20:11] ---
    Seems like he's just playing
    on willpower at this point.
[20:14] ---
    He's only been using his left
    hand to do all the dribbling.
[20:17] ---
    Which means his right arm
    is... probably at its limit.
[20:22] ---
    No way!
[20:23] ---
    I don't wanna take any
    girly shots like those!
[20:26] ---
    They're super uncool!
[20:27] ---
    There's nothing I can do if you
    think it looks uncool, Sora.
[20:31] ---
    But even so, no matter how
    uncool it may seem to you,
[20:35] ---
    I guarantee there'll be a time
    where you have to rely on it.
[20:41] ---
    He stopped moving.
[20:42] ---
    Is he going to pass it?
[20:46] ---
    When exactly... that time comes...
[20:51] ---
    ...is something that you'll
    figure out eventually, Sora.
[21:01] ---
    The female style... two-handed shot?!
[21:17] ---
    Yeah!
[21:35] ---
    It didn't matter how long
    you stared up at the sky
[21:38] ---
    You always said that you
    would never be able to fly
[21:41] ---
    One night I cried wondering
    how long it would take
[21:45] ---
    Until I could finally reach you with my hands
[21:48] ---
    Eventually I got used to just running away
[21:52] ---
    Until the day I realized that was a weakness
[21:55] ---
    So let's start it all over, right now
[22:02] ---
    The things precious to us
    were always close at hand
[22:08] ---
    We are never completely alone
    at any time in our lives
[22:14] ---
    The truth is that you can
    fly, wherever you want
[22:17] ---
    Spreading your wings to go
    far higher than anyone else
[22:21] ---
    The more tears that you shed
[22:25] ---
    Then the stronger you become
[22:27] ---
    Let's use those wings
    to travel the world over
[22:31] ---
    And find a path to a future
    that no one knows about
[22:34] ---
    Always, always, always
[22:39] ---
    Walking onwards, all of us together
[22:51] ---
    Two-handed?
[22:55] ---
    Are you kidding?! That's how the girls shoot!
[22:58] ---
    Do it again, kid! And this
    time throw in a curtsey!
[23:06] ---
    Sweet move.
[23:13] ---
    A two-handed shot, huh?
[23:15] ---
    That style definitely lessens
    the overall strain put on the arms.
[23:18] ---
    And on top of that, it's
    a real pain to block.
[23:21] ---
    Tokiwa, we're not changing up our defense.
[23:25] ---
    This match... isn't over just yet.
[23:26] ---
    Shinmaruko
[23:26] ---
    Kuzuryu
[23:30] ---
    Ahiru no Sora
    Next Time: Now's the Time
[23:31] ---
    Next time: "Now's the Time."
