[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."
