[00:04] ---
Maternity Center
[00:04] ---
Right.
[00:06] ---
Uh-huh, yes.
[00:09] ---
I see. I'm glad to hear that.
[00:12] ---
Huh? Oh, yes!
[00:15] ---
She went into labor not long
after I arrived at the hospital.
[00:20] ---
Yes. Thank you very much.
[00:23] ---
So then...
[00:28] ---
Oh... Mr. Principal.
[00:33] ---
I know it might be impossible,
but I have a request.
[00:37] ---
Ahiru no Sora
[00:41] ---
Bridge
[00:47] ---
We nearly got drenched!
[00:49] ---
All because you wanted to loiter around
watching the rain!
[00:52] ---
I'm sorry...
[00:53] ---
Huh?
[00:54] ---
Nice! I found an umbrella lying around!
[00:57] ---
Lucky! We can use it to get out of here.
[01:00] ---
Ugh, please no! It's gotta be all gross...
[01:04] ---
Beggars can't be choosers, ya know.
[01:07] ---
Uh oh... my legs are starting to feel numb.
[01:10] ---
We'll have to walk for a while
to get back to the Red Brick Warehouse.
[01:13] ---
No, we don't have to. I'm sure
the rain will let up soon.
[01:26] ---
Hey, Madoka...
[01:29] ---
Wanna go to a hotel?
[01:33] ---
A h-h-hotel?!
[01:36] ---
Yeah. There's one pretty close by.
[01:39] ---
I've been there before.
[01:40] ---
N-n-n-no, we can't!
[01:41] ---
I mean, uh, I don't have enough money for that!
P-plus, I'm in my school uniform right now!
[01:46] ---
And er... um, ah....
[01:47] ---
Huh?
[01:48] ---
The first excuse that you could think of
was about money?
[01:50] ---
You should know that guys
won't hesitate to cover the bill!
[01:54] ---
Normally, girls just decline with,
"That's not what I had in mind" or something.
[02:00] ---
Th-that's not what I had in mind...
[02:05] ---
You crack me up, Madoka.
I'm falling for you more and more!
[02:10] ---
There you go, joking with me again...
[02:12] ---
I'm serious.
[02:16] ---
These feelings are legit.
[02:19] ---
Honestly, I think I'm in love... with you.
[02:23] ---
But you're carrying some
baggage. Isn't that right?
[02:29] ---
I would like... to take some time
and help you sort it all out.
[02:35] ---
The rain... seeped right through my blouse.
[02:43] ---
Deeper... and deeper...
[02:46] ---
It soaked me to the bone.
[02:52] ---
Jeez...
[02:54] ---
It's raining cats and dogs today.
[02:57] ---
This really is... hard to be happy about.
[03:04] ---
The people who looked out for us, huh?
[03:13] ---
I know that she was just
looking out for me. No doubt.
[03:23] ---
Lying was supposed to be
something I hated to do...
[03:28] ---
I need to go and apologize to her.
[03:33] ---
What?
[03:36] ---
Like I said...
[03:37] ---
We're officially recognized now.
[03:40] ---
They approved our new clique thing.
[03:44] ---
Yeah, I figured. That's the
kind of reaction I expected.
[03:48] ---
So in other words, they took pity on us?
[03:51] ---
Hard to swallow that.
[03:52] ---
I don't think pride... should get in the way.
[03:57] ---
Easier said than done...
[03:58] ---
Yeah...
[03:59] ---
So then, whaddya wanna do?
[04:01] ---
Turn them down?
[04:02] ---
We're the ones who asked for approval, guys.
[04:05] ---
I'm gonna accept.
[04:08] ---
I won't hesitate. Not for a second.
[04:12] ---
I wanna play Yozan.
[04:15] ---
I wanna win in a rematch against Taiei.
[04:19] ---
GURL
[04:28] ---
We're at rock bottom now,
but that's also where the starting line is.
[04:34] ---
The only question is, how far
we can rise up in a year?
[04:40] ---
Let's do it.
[04:42] ---
All nine of us together.
[04:47] ---
Wait, nine?
[04:48] ---
Dumbass! How can you forget Nao?
[04:50] ---
Hell yeah! Let's go all
the way to the inter-high!
[04:53] ---
We have to upgrade from a
clique to a proper team first.
[04:58] ---
Still a pretty janky squad.
[04:59] ---
A'ight.
[05:01] ---
Everybody get up for a team huddle!
[05:03] ---
No way, dude. That's total cringe.
[05:06] ---
Way too embarrassing for me.
[05:09] ---
Whatever, we're doing it
anyway! Get over here!
[05:11] ---
Okay, fine...
[05:12] ---
Do we really have to?
[05:13] ---
So lame...
[05:14] ---
Sometimes I seriously wish
my life had been different.
[05:19] ---
And that I... had been born as a boy.
[05:23] ---
Starting right now, our new
basketball clique is official!
[05:27] ---
Yeah!
[05:31] ---
Sorry to stick around so
long, we're leaving now.
[05:34] ---
Oh, okay! Thank you for coming today.
[05:36] ---
Actually, my original plan was to make my team run
all the way to the next school.
[05:41] ---
But that's not happening with all this rain.
[05:43] ---
It's good that it rained then... for them.
[05:48] ---
Your #11...
[05:49] ---
Did you make Natsume change positions
expecting it would have that sort of impact?
[05:54] ---
What do you mean?
[05:55] ---
His playstyle has changed drastically
from when I saw him at the prelims.
[05:59] ---
He made great plays. I was shocked.
[06:04] ---
No. None of that was me.
[06:08] ---
I believe it's because...
something changed Natsume.
[06:13] ---
No... he changed himself.
[06:18] ---
Kuzuryu Yokohama Taiei
[06:18] ---
Well, right now, our Fuwa
is just another tool in the toolbox.
[06:23] ---
To be brutally honest,
we can get by perfectly fine without him.
[06:26] ---
But your Natsume is different.
[06:27] ---
He's pretty much the backbone of Kuzu High.
[06:31] ---
Yokohama Taiei
[06:32] ---
I imagine that without him,
we hardly could have had a proper match today.
[06:36] ---
That kind of responsibility
is a heavy burden to have.
[06:38] ---
And I had personally thought that weight
was only going to hold Natsume back in the end.
[06:42] ---
But it seems his sense of duty
proved to be the stronger force.
[06:47] ---
As for #4, he's going to have to work hard
on improving his offensive abilities.
[06:50] ---
Otherwise, I assure you that he won't be able
to compete at the prefectural level.
[06:53] ---
Your #12 should focus on becoming quicker.
And of course, he'll have to majorly up his stamina.
[07:00] ---
Your #5 also has a good sense for the game.
If he trains hard, he'll become a valuable player.
[07:05] ---
Moving #7 around to be an inside player
was a very smart move.
[07:09] ---
Was that your decision?
[07:10] ---
Um, yes!
[07:12] ---
Hm... you've certainly got sharp eyes.
[07:15] ---
It's enough to make me want you on our side.
[07:17] ---
If your guys run themselves
ragged with practice
[07:19] ---
for the next year, they'll
definitely amount to something.
[07:22] ---
This team will... grow strong.
[07:28] ---
A streak of light, sharp and thin like a needle,
began to pierce through the deep darkness.
[07:34] ---
Line up!
[07:39] ---
Now we can go... towards
where only light shines.
[07:44] ---
Thank you for the game!
[08:08] ---
For us to play against Yokohama...
[08:10] ---
we're gonna have to climb our
way up the prelim bracket.
[08:14] ---
And unless we can beat them...
[08:17] ---
then our dream of making
the inter-high will die.
[08:24] ---
It's a total downpour.
[08:26] ---
Well, if we can make it to the front entrance
there must be a forgotten umbrella or two around.
[08:30] ---
That's called stealing, you know.
[08:32] ---
Oh, damn. I totally forgot to ask Hanazono
where exactly he got those basketball shoes.
[08:38] ---
Chiba.
[08:39] ---
Huh?
[08:41] ---
Are you really going to quit playing?
[08:46] ---
I wouldn't say I'm quitting.
[08:49] ---
But the fact remains I'm
graduating this year.
[08:52] ---
Even if you don't go to university,
[08:54] ---
you still have the option of trying to get on
a company team in the business world.
[08:58] ---
You can definitely...
[08:59] ---
Oh just shut yer damn trap already!
[09:01] ---
Quit acting like this means I'm doomed
to never play basketball again!
[09:05] ---
You will be.
[09:08] ---
The kind of intensity that
people like us crave...
[09:11] ---
can only be found in one place.
[09:14] ---
If you retire now, you'll just be left
with an itch you can't scratch.
[09:20] ---
And that's why...
[09:22] ---
I told you I ain't quitting.
[09:29] ---
So...
[09:30] ---
We wrap up today's big event in style...
[09:33] ---
by cleaning up the place.
[09:36] ---
Yo, Chiaki, why the hell are you
only carrying one chair at a time?
[09:39] ---
I was trying to keep it secret, but it turns out
I busted some ribs during the match-
[09:43] ---
Enough with your damn lies!
[09:44] ---
Our future... still looks grim.
[09:47] ---
Mokichi has no room to talk
since he's also carrying just one chair...
[09:54] ---
I'm really glad.
[09:59] ---
This means... we can all
play basketball here again!
[10:13] ---
It ain't summer without a trip to the beach!
[10:16] ---
It's too bad Mokichi didn't come with us.
[10:18] ---
He said he doesn't fair well
in the sun or whatever.
[10:20] ---
What is he, Dracula?
[10:23] ---
What's up? This your first time
at the beach or something?
[10:26] ---
A-as if! Don't be ridiculous!
Today is my fourth time!
[10:30] ---
It's not the beach that I'm excited about,
[10:32] ---
but the fact that our summer
vacation is a whole 40 days long!
[10:34] ---
Huh?! You didn't have
summer vacation in Nagano?
[10:37] ---
Of course we did! Except
it was only 3 weeks long...
[10:40] ---
The kids over there need to organize
a coup d'etat or something.
[10:43] ---
Hey guys. Enough chat, let's go grab a spot.
[10:48] ---
Whoo-hoo!
[10:52] ---
Hey, Sora!
[10:54] ---
What's wrong? Aren't you going to swim?
[10:56] ---
Uh... well, I can't swi- I mean,
I'm watching over everybody's stuff!
[11:01] ---
Oh yeah?
[11:02] ---
Then I think I'll join you.
[11:06] ---
It's too bad about Nao. I feel really bad for her,
missing out on today because of a cold.
[11:12] ---
Uh, excuse me...
[11:14] ---
Huh?
[11:15] ---
S-sorry, but do you mind sitting
a little further away from me?
[11:23] ---
It sure sucks that you guys lost the match.
[11:26] ---
Yeah.
[11:27] ---
Oh, but it turns out we'll be able
to form our new group anyway.
[11:31] ---
Although we still don't know
who our advisor is yet.
[11:34] ---
It made me realize how inadequate I am.
[11:37] ---
Both in basketball... and in other ways, too.
[11:40] ---
I want to... get stronger...
and stronger still.
[11:48] ---
I just keep getting further away.
[11:50] ---
And the thing that's creating
all of that distance is...
[11:54] ---
Madoka!
[11:58] ---
Well, I'm off to swim for a bit!
[12:01] ---
Oh, sure.
[12:03] ---
Have fun!
[12:10] ---
Madoka...
[12:12] ---
She gets more beautiful each time I see her.
[12:20] ---
What?
[12:21] ---
The basketball team?
You're going to be their advisor again?
[12:23] ---
Yep. The school has decided to accept
the new team that Hanazono and the others are forming.
[12:29] ---
But why?! You should just refuse to do it!
[12:32] ---
Besides, I thought the school
had decided that you...
[12:34] ---
Hold on. You've gotten the wrong idea.
[12:37] ---
It was me. I personally requested
to become their advisor.
[12:42] ---
Huh?
[12:43] ---
I know they may seem like hoodlums,
but they're all very earnest.
[12:48] ---
Are you sure about this?
[12:50] ---
You always used to tell me something.
[12:53] ---
About how people "don't change so easily."
[12:56] ---
If they end up causing another incident
like the last one, then...
[13:00] ---
That's why I'm doing it.
[13:03] ---
I want... to see them through to the end.
[13:07] ---
No matter how brawny they look,
those kids are still kids.
[13:12] ---
They need an adult in their lives.
One who will keep looking at them head-on.
[13:16] ---
I'm not doing it because no one else will.
[13:18] ---
I'm doing it because I'm
the only one who can.
[13:25] ---
Guess that means you'll be coming home late
and taking fewer vacation days again.
[13:29] ---
Uh, well, I'm sorry about that...
[13:32] ---
But that's okay.
[13:34] ---
Since I'm not going to be all alone anymore.
[13:37] ---
Right?
[13:45] ---
Hey there, ladies!
[13:48] ---
Wow, two angels from Heaven!
[13:50] ---
How you doin'?
[13:51] ---
Partying by yourselves?
[13:52] ---
U-uhh, we're actually not...
[13:55] ---
W-we're here with a group of friends!
[13:56] ---
C-c-c-c-could they be...?!
[13:59] ---
Are they trying to hit on us?!
[14:00] ---
So, you came with your boyfriends?
[14:02] ---
Huh? Uh, no, that's not
exactly what we meant...
[14:05] ---
Let's bail, Madoka!
These guys are kinda freaking me out!
[14:10] ---
Whoa there! Don't run away on us!
[14:13] ---
Yo.
[14:16] ---
The hell do you think you're doing?
[14:18] ---
Huh? What's your beef?
[14:21] ---
You're still in high school, right?
[14:23] ---
Better watch your mouth around adults, kid.
[14:25] ---
You'll have to forgive me.
[14:27] ---
These are my friends, you see.
[14:29] ---
So? You're starting to piss me off, punk.
[14:32] ---
Listen here.
[14:34] ---
Quit acting like you're some badass.
[14:36] ---
Wait! P-please, just stop!
[14:39] ---
Sorry, ladies, we'll pick this up later.
[14:41] ---
We need to teach this little
monkey a lesson first.
[14:44] ---
Hot damn, you girls sure are popular.
[14:47] ---
And just who the hell are...?
[15:02] ---
I, uh, just remembered. We
came here to swim, right?
[15:05] ---
Yeah, th-that's right!
[15:07] ---
I sure do love the sea!
[15:07] ---
Quit being so bubbly just
cuz some guys hit on you.
[15:11] ---
Wha-? We're not being bubbly
about anything! Rude!
[15:14] ---
Welp, I'm out of options.
So I'll settle with you.
[15:17] ---
Huh?
[15:18] ---
I couldn't snag a single one of 'em.
The ladies down here sure are picky!
[15:23] ---
You're no different from all
those guys who just left!
[15:25] ---
I'm starving. C'mon, let's
go find something to eat.
[15:28] ---
Huh? Uh, wait a sec! I'll go grab my jacket!
[15:31] ---
Don't bother, nobody's paying attention
to those scrawny boobies of yours.
[15:33] ---
Well, excuse me for not
stuffing my top with melons!
[15:35] ---
Yoko...? What about me...?
[15:40] ---
Uh... so, hey.
[15:43] ---
I'm sorry. About that one time.
[15:48] ---
What time?
[15:50] ---
When I got that suspension from school
and you came to visit me.
[15:53] ---
Remember?
[15:54] ---
Oh, yeah...
[15:56] ---
And like, I said some really
shitty stuff to you.
[16:01] ---
That's okay. It didn't bother me.
[16:04] ---
I'm sorry! I really regret it!
[16:07] ---
A lot was going on with me
back then... and I just...
[16:10] ---
It's water under the bridge.
Don't worry about it!
[16:16] ---
So I hear you're getting
the basketball team back.
[16:19] ---
Well, it's technically
only a clique right now.
[16:24] ---
All the tangles that were in the rope...
are slowly coming undone.
[16:29] ---
Congrats.
[16:35] ---
Thanks.
[16:40] ---
But one knot...
[16:42] ---
still remains.
[16:55] ---
Hey, Chiba... what's going on?
[16:58] ---
I changed my mind about retiring.
[17:00] ---
Huh?
[17:02] ---
I haven't totally burned out just yet.
[17:06] ---
There were some coals left smoldering...
[17:09] ---
and they're too hot to ignore.
[17:12] ---
I figured as much.
[17:13] ---
And now training hell begins again...
[17:15] ---
Life was fun while it lasted.
[17:19] ---
A'ight!
[17:21] ---
Time to get the lead out, boys!
[17:29] ---
Uh, okay everybody. I know you're still eating,
but lend me your ears for a moment.
[17:33] ---
A new coach will be joining us
after we start the winter season.
[17:37] ---
Huh?
[17:38] ---
What now, Gramps? Did you
strain your back again?
[17:42] ---
Well, that's not far from the truth.
[17:45] ---
I turned 71 this year, you know.
[17:48] ---
I have trouble even seeing the ball.
[17:50] ---
Once I see you boys through
the tournament next summer...
[17:53] ---
I'm thinking I'll retire.
[17:59] ---
Kato. You awake?
[18:02] ---
Yeah.
[18:04] ---
That old man, Koga... He's been coaching
since before we were even born.
[18:08] ---
Yeah.
[18:10] ---
He told us that... it's been years
since he went to the inter-high.
[18:16] ---
Kato.
[18:18] ---
We're going next year. For sure.
[18:20] ---
Right.
[18:25] ---
Hatori! Yasuda! Nagasawa!
[18:28] ---
From the sophomores: Yakuma! Shiraishi!
[18:31] ---
Shibasaki and Itoga!
[18:33] ---
And also Yokoyama!
[18:34] ---
Finally, from the freshmen: Fuwa.
[18:39] ---
That's it!
[18:40] ---
Those are the players we'll
be using for the big match!
[18:42] ---
I'm still... so far away...
[18:42] ---
When we get to the actual venue next week,
we'll tailor our strategy to our opponents.
[18:45] ---
I have to be steadfast.
[18:47] ---
Take one step at a time. With determination.
[18:50] ---
C'mon!
[18:51] ---
Pass!
[18:52] ---
Over here!
[18:56] ---
Oh, they're really going at it.
[18:58] ---
Mr. Satsuki!
[19:00] ---
Yo.
[19:03] ---
Looks like you convinced the school to let you use
the gym for practice over the break.
[19:06] ---
Yes, for the time being.
[19:08] ---
But we can only do it when
there are teachers at school.
[19:11] ---
Sucks that we can't play
whenever we want to, though.
[19:14] ---
Yeah.
[19:15] ---
We can't demand too much,
since we still don't have an advisor.
[19:19] ---
I see.
[19:21] ---
Well then...
[19:22] ---
How about... I take on that responsibility?
[19:27] ---
Meaning that I will be
your advisor starting now.
[19:30] ---
A-are you serious?!
[19:32] ---
Totally.
[19:32] ---
Aw hell yeah! Now we can start
doing some real practice!
[19:36] ---
Although it won't be official
until school starts back up in September.
[19:39] ---
Is that really okay?
[19:41] ---
Yes.
[19:43] ---
Hold on a minute!
[19:48] ---
Momoharu...?
[19:51] ---
Sorry, this is weird. I'm happy, but like...
[19:56] ---
...something feels wrong.
[19:58] ---
We caused so many problems...
and betrayed you...
[20:02] ---
We couldn't even win the game.
[20:05] ---
And plus, it feels like our new team
was approved out of pity.
[20:08] ---
We still haven't... actually
achieved anything.
[20:13] ---
And yet...
[20:13] ---
That's fine.
[20:15] ---
The reason I was removed as your advisor,
[20:18] ---
was because of my own failure
to properly supervise you.
[20:22] ---
Back then... you expressed
very similar feelings.
[20:26] ---
We may have been weak and pathetic,
but I still liked the team we had.
[20:31] ---
Basketball gave us all a place to belong!
[20:35] ---
I can't let it end with me being
the one responsible for everything falling apart!
[20:44] ---
And so, the reason I came back...
was for my own peace of mind.
[20:58] ---
You're a grown man. Don't cry.
[21:08] ---
Looking back, I never thought
too deeply about that
[21:12] ---
incident and the impact it must have had.
[21:15] ---
I'm sure it's impossible
for me to really understand
[21:18] ---
just how much guilt that
Momoharu and the others felt.
[21:22] ---
But even so, I think in this moment,
they were freed from at least a little of that burden.
[21:30] ---
I could feel it.
[21:34] ---
Thank you so much! Please look after us!
