[00:06] ---
    The female style... two-handed shot?!
[00:16] ---
    Yeah!
[00:20] ---
    Sweet move.
[00:26] ---
    That style definitely lessens
    the overall strain put on the arms.
[00:29] ---
    And on top of that, it's
    a real pain to block.
[00:32] ---
    Tokiwa, we're not changing up our defense.
[00:35] ---
    This match... isn't over just yet.

    Happy go ducky!
[02:10] ---
    Huh?
[02:11] ---
    No way!
[02:12] ---
    Now's the Time
[02:13] ---
    A triple team, are you serious?!
[02:16] ---
    He was having enough trouble
    with just a double team!
[02:19] ---
    Putting three guys on Sora is too much!
[02:25] ---
    Forget about taking any shots,
    there's not even a window for me to get a pass!
[02:30] ---
    Cut me a break.
[02:31] ---
    This is ridiculous. What the
    hell am I supposed to do?
[02:35] ---
    Chuckie! Over here!
[02:38] ---
    If we can't score from the outside,
    then we'll do it from the inside!
[02:40] ---
    He's not the only player
    on this team, you know!
[02:44] ---
    Not happening!
[02:46] ---
    So high!
[02:47] ---
    He's on another level!
[02:51] ---
    I'm not giving up!
[02:58] ---
    Out of bounds! Kuzuryu's Ball!
[02:59] ---
    Jeez, you okay man?
    Out of bounds! Kuzuryu's Ball!
[03:01] ---
    Shit!
[03:02] ---
    Seriously?
[03:04] ---
    Chiba was the last one to touch it,
    so it would have been your team's ball either way.
[03:10] ---
    Chuckie, hurry up!
[03:12] ---
    Give me the ball before
    the defense gets set up!
[03:21] ---
    I can't even dribble with
    them all over me like this!
[03:23] ---
    Dammit!
[03:33] ---
    My leg!
[03:36] ---
    Did you see that little brat just eat it?
[03:38] ---
    So pathetic!
[03:39] ---
    Yo! Are you okay?
[03:42] ---
    I'm fine!
[03:45] ---
    I want to win so bad...
[03:47] ---
    I don't want to lose, but...
[03:50] ---
    Having some trouble down there, Kuzu High?
[03:53] ---
    You can't even get your
    hands on the ball anymore!
[04:02] ---
    This is too painfully uncool
    for me to keep watching.
[04:05] ---
    Let's go.
[04:07] ---
    I'm staying here, 'kay?
[04:09] ---
    Huh?
[04:10] ---
    I haven't gotten my fill of Tokiwa yet!
[04:13] ---
    Buh-bye!
[04:14] ---
    Tokiwa, darling!
[04:31] ---
    Um, Madoka? Where are you going?
[04:41] ---
    Your friends are all out there fighting.
    Aren't you going to back them up?
[04:48] ---
    No way. It's just too much effort.
[04:52] ---
    Are you serious right now?
[04:54] ---
    Watching Momoharu and the others play out there
    doesn't make you feel anything?
[04:57] ---
    Oh, I feel it. I feel sorry
    for how uncool they look.
[05:02] ---
    No matter how much effort we put in,
    there are some things we just can't change.
[05:06] ---
    And I can't stand being laughed at
    by people for trying otherwise.
[05:11] ---
    I'm not one of them.
[05:14] ---
    Every single person in the world can laugh
    if they want, but I never will.
[05:21] ---
    It doesn't matter how uncool or weak someone is,
    I will never laugh at them!
[05:29] ---
    Why aren't you guys running out there?
[05:31] ---
    Nakahara
[05:32] ---
    Isn't that obvious?
[05:33] ---
    We're down 50 points at halftime.
[05:35] ---
    It doesn't matter how much we try,
    there's no way to win.
[05:38] ---
    Just look around.
[05:40] ---
    Even the other kids from our school
    are laughing at us.
[05:42] ---
    I just want this nightmare to be over.
[05:48] ---
    There's not a player alive
    who goes on the court hoping to lose a game.
[06:04] ---
    Why are they trying so damn hard?
[06:07] ---
    That's not what we came
    all the way here to see.
[06:10] ---
    Watching shit like this really
    pisses me off. I can't stand it.
[06:18] ---
    Huh?
[06:21] ---
    Oh no, wait!
[06:32] ---
    Hold on! Timeout!
[06:36] ---
    That must've hurt!
[06:37] ---
    What a riot! He did a total faceplant!
[06:40] ---
    What's going on?
[06:41] ---
    That guy up there threw an
    empty can onto the court.
[06:44] ---
    And then Sora tripped over it...
[06:49] ---
    Get wrecked.
[06:50] ---
    Just throw in the towel, losers!
[06:52] ---
    There's only 5 minutes left anyway!
[06:55] ---
    Those shitheads.
[06:58] ---
    Who's the punk bitch that
    just threw the can?!
[07:00] ---
    Quit your whining, asswipe!
[07:02] ---
    Nobody here knows anything
    about the damn can!
[07:04] ---
    Those douchebags are seriously asking for it.
[07:07] ---
    Tokiwa... is it okay if I blow my top now?
[07:10] ---
    Please don't, fighting is
    the last thing we need.
[07:14] ---
    To be honest, you're the one who started this mess
    when you agreed to play them.
[07:18] ---
    Struggle all you want,
    you're still going to lose!
[07:21] ---
    You'll never be more than a bunch of punks!
[07:23] ---
    Fuck it.
[07:25] ---
    I'm about to lose my shit!
[07:27] ---
    You can't do that, Momoharu.
[07:29] ---
    Huh?
[07:31] ---
    I know that at first, we kept talking
    about this in terms of a fight.
[07:35] ---
    But right now, we're playing
    a perfectly good game of basketball.
[07:40] ---
    And there's still 5 minutes
    left on the clock.
[07:43] ---
    Let's keep this on the
    court... until the very end!
[07:48] ---
    You sure?
[07:50] ---
    I said my goodbyes to the geezer
    from the bar in West Shinjuku~
[07:57] ---
    Taking my time strolling down
    the familiar alleys and backstreets~
[08:04] ---
    I saw a reflection in the broken glass
    of the dusty tatami shop~
[08:12] ---
    It was a reflection of me, all alone,
    covered in the grime of life~
[08:18] ---
    Is that... Chiaki?
[08:20] ---
    "If yer gonna do it, now's the time.
    If yer gonna do it, now's the time."
[08:22] ---
    LOVE
[08:27] ---
    That 66-year old geezer always use to say,
[08:33] ---
    "If yer gonna do it, now's the time."
[08:36] ---
    Huh?
[08:37] ---
    Who's this clown?
[08:44] ---
    The hell?!
[08:49] ---
    I might not have the
    right to say this, but...
[08:53] ---
    People who aren't doing
    any of the fighting...
[08:56] ---
    ...don't get to laugh at the ones who are.
[09:00] ---
    What's the big idea?!
[09:02] ---
    Eat shit and die, you afro punk!
[09:03] ---
    I'm gonna tear you a new one!
[09:05] ---
    He finally showed up.
[09:06] ---
    So, is this the guy you said
    that had piqued your interest?
[09:10] ---
    Yeah. Back in middle school,
    I played against that guy in a game once.
[09:14] ---
    Though, I really doubt
    that he even remembers much of it.
[09:19] ---
    But as far as I'm concerned...
[09:21] ---
    ...I've never seen a player
    with the skills to rival his.
[09:25] ---
    What's up with the sudden change of heart?
[09:27] ---
    Nobody came crying to you for any help.
[09:32] ---
    Don't be silly.
[09:34] ---
    It's my duty as an older brother to step in
    whenever you're getting bullied.
[09:38] ---
    Do I look like I need your help?!
[09:42] ---
    The tables have turned since
    the last time we talked.
[09:45] ---
    Huh?
[09:46] ---
    It's my turn to ask you now.
[09:48] ---
    Why come back to basketball now?
[09:54] ---
    Listen up, Momoharu.
[09:55] ---
    It is absolutely impossible
    for me to die before you.
[10:00] ---
    Huh?
[10:01] ---
    Because... my maximum life
    expectancy is 300 years.
[10:06] ---
    No matter how many cringe-worthy experiences
    await me from here on,
[10:09] ---
    I've got plenty of time to shake them off.
[10:14] ---
    Excuse me, Ref!
[10:15] ---
    Please resume the game for us!
[10:17] ---
    Uh, but, what about your leg?
[10:20] ---
    It's just fine!
[10:21] ---
    Whenever I get a bone fracture,
    they always set right away!
[10:23] ---
    See?
[10:25] ---
    And also, our team has
    a new fifth member now!
[10:32] ---
    Here!
[10:33] ---
    Our game plan is all up to you!
[10:35] ---
    Wait, did I actually tell
    you what my position is?
[10:39] ---
    You're the point guard who
    decides what plays we run.
[10:42] ---
    Isn't that right?
[10:44] ---
    You sorted out the locations and faces
    of all 30 people in my class.
[10:48] ---
    Having the sharp eyes and memory
    necessary to do that so quickly...
[10:52] ---
    ...those are without a doubt
    the attributes of an exceptional point guard!
[10:56] ---
    But to be honest, none of that
    really made any difference to me.
[11:02] ---
    Ever since that first day we met...
[11:04] ---
    ...I've kept believing that you would
    play basketball together with me, Chiaki!
[11:11] ---
    Well then, the game will now resume
    with Kuzuryu in possession of the ball!
[11:15] ---
    Okay, there's 5 minutes
    left! Let's tear it up!
[11:24] ---
    Alrighty then...
[11:25] ---
    ...let's set our sights on
    scoring a single basket for now.
[11:28] ---
    That's good! Spread out on
    the court just like that.
[11:31] ---
    Okay, time to see what
    they're really made of.
[11:36] ---
    Just what kind of play are
    they planning to make?
[11:41] ---
    Okay.
[11:43] ---
    It's showtime.
[11:46] ---
    Violation! Shinmaruko's ball!
[11:50] ---
    What...?
[11:52] ---
    They immediately lost the ball
    on an 8 second violation...
[11:54] ---
    What did he even make
    that grand entrance for?
[11:57] ---
    What's an "8 second violation"?
[11:59] ---
    The offense must always advance the ball
    to the front court before 8 seconds has elapsed.
[12:04] ---
    Shit! I totally forgot that
    there was even a rule like that!
[12:08] ---
    Sorry guys, that's my bad.
[12:10] ---
    Get your shit together, man!
[12:15] ---
    The other side of the court is wide open!
[12:17] ---
    Tokiwa! Pass it here!
[12:21] ---
    He panicked and rushed past us.
[12:23] ---
    But that's not going to change anything.
[12:26] ---
    Just because there's open space in front of me,
    doesn't mean that's where I'm going to pass the ball!
[12:32] ---
    He anticipated it?!
[12:34] ---
    But how?!
[12:35] ---
    Because I would have done the exact same thing
    if I were in your shoes.
[12:39] ---
    That afro punk totally saw that pass coming!
[12:43] ---
    There's only one defender
    left in front of the basket!
[12:47] ---
    Three of them?!
[12:50] ---
    To the right...
[12:51] ---
    Or the left...
[12:53] ---
    ...or through the center?
[12:56] ---
    He's passing left!
[12:59] ---
    It went right?!
[13:10] ---
    Hell yeah! It went in!
[13:12] ---
    That was awesome, Nabe!
[13:17] ---
    I know for a fact that afro punk
    passed the ball towards the shrimp.
[13:22] ---
    Even if he tried to snap
    it back with his wrist,
[13:24] ---
    there's no way he could make it
    go in the totally opposite direction!
[13:28] ---
    Kuchiki.
[13:29] ---
    Out of everyone in this gym,
[13:32] ---
    you're the only one who doesn't know what move
    he just pulled because you were standing in front of him.
[13:38] ---
    It was an elbow pass.
[13:41] ---
    He used his left hand to throw the ball,
[13:43] ---
    but then immediately bounced it off his right elbow
    to make it go to the opposite side.
[13:48] ---
    I doubt there's any other high school player
    who can pull off that move.
[13:53] ---
    An elbow pass?!
[13:55] ---
    That's ridiculous!
[13:58] ---
    Don't let it get to you, Tokiwa!
[14:00] ---
    I'm fine. Let's make sure
    we score this next one!
[14:05] ---
    Damn! That afro punk is really
    putting on the pressure!
[14:08] ---
    Seems like you're wiped
    from guarding our little pipsqueak.
[14:12] ---
    I guess you learned not to judge his skills
    just based on his size.
[14:22] ---
    Yes! I shook him off!
[14:27] ---
    He screwed up!
[14:28] ---
    What the hell are you doing, Tokiwa?!
[14:30] ---
    We got a nice gift from the other team!
[14:32] ---
    Let's put it to good use!
[14:36] ---
    I'm not letting them score off of my mistake.
[14:45] ---
    Did he seriously just do that...?!
[14:48] ---
    They're about to rush us!
[14:50] ---
    Switch!
[14:51] ---
    Our team prides itself on height! We're not just gonna
    let a bunch of shorter players get to the basket!
[14:58] ---
    He jumps so high!
[15:04] ---
    Shit!
[15:09] ---
    Even though the court is crowded
    with members from both teams,
[15:12] ---
    he didn't fail to notice that the defenders
    stopped guarding me!
[15:22] ---
    There's no doubt about it.
[15:28] ---
    This guy is...
[15:30] ---
    ...a real genius!
[15:33] ---
    Awesome!
[15:34] ---
    He's scored six three-pointers now!
[15:37] ---
    Are you all right, Tokiwa?
[15:39] ---
    Did the ball hit you on that pass?
[15:40] ---
    It just barely missed me.
[15:42] ---
    Damn it. Aiming a pass right
    at the face is a dirty move.
[15:46] ---
    No.
[15:47] ---
    He wasn't aiming for my face.
[15:50] ---
    Even if I was quick enough to react, I'm helpless
    to stop any ball that passes next to my head.
[15:55] ---
    Amazing! That was such a smooth move, Chiaki!
[15:55] ---
    By using that window,
    he knew the pass would go through.
[15:57] ---
    Oh yeah? Then give me some cash.
[16:00] ---
    Pulling off that kind of pass is like threading a needle.
    His control of the ball is insane.
[16:05] ---
    Don't sweat it. This match was over
    a long time ago, anyway.
[16:08] ---
    Them scoring a few more baskets isn't going
    to change the fact that we've got this in the bag.
[16:12] ---
    It's kind of strange,
    this game feels a lot longer than usual.
[16:17] ---
    You guys should forget all
    about the current score.
[16:20] ---
    Huh?
[16:21] ---
    Just consider it zero to zero
    from the moment that guy joined their team.
[16:24] ---
    If adding one player is enough for them to start scoring,
    or even stop us from scoring, then we've lost this game.
[16:33] ---
    So, we've got 30 seconds left.
[16:35] ---
    That's not a lot of time.
[16:37] ---
    Listen up, gang.
[16:39] ---
    We're not winning this
    match no matter what we do.
[16:43] ---
    But even so...
[16:44] ---
    You don't have to say it.
[16:47] ---
    We'll wrap this up...
[16:49] ---
    ...by scoring the last basket!
[16:53] ---
    Listen up. We are not letting them lay a single finger
    on the ball until the game clock runs out.
[17:09] ---
    There's no time to waste.
[17:10] ---
    If they manage to run out the shot clock,
    then this game will essentially be over.
[17:15] ---
    We have to do something to
    get the ball away from them.
[17:17] ---
    But what?
[17:25] ---
    A crossover!
[17:27] ---
    He's fast!
[17:38] ---
    Thank you.
[17:39] ---
    What the hell was that, Nabe?!
[17:42] ---
    It's going to come up short.
[17:43] ---
    Rebound!
[17:44] ---
    Great! It's all mine!
[17:50] ---
    What the-?!
[17:58] ---
    The shrimp took off in a dash
    for the other side of the court!
[18:02] ---
    Momoharu won't fail.
[18:04] ---
    I just know... that Momoharu will...
[18:10] ---
    ...get that rebound for us!
[18:15] ---
    Chiaki, it's all you! Hurry up!
[18:17] ---
    Just leave it to me.
[18:23] ---
    A long pass? From here?!
[18:32] ---
    He passed it like a bowling ball?!
[18:38] ---
    I can't run very fast anymore...
[18:41] ---
    It feels like my arms and
    legs are gonna fall off...
[18:45] ---
    I'm so tired...
[18:46] ---
    I just wanna lay down and relax...
[18:49] ---
    I'm starving. I want to eat some curry bread.
[18:52] ---
    And also... drink a big glass of milk.
[18:56] ---
    My shirt and shorts
    are totally soaked through with sweat.
[19:00] ---
    I want to change out of them.
[19:05] ---
    But more than anything...
[19:08] ---
    I really want to...
[19:11] ---
    ...keep playing this game!
[19:14] ---
    The game is over!
[19:19] ---
    The shot was taken after the buzzer,
    so the basket doesn't count!
[19:29] ---
    Just a second more would've done it.
[19:36] ---
    We came really close.
[19:38] ---
    Well, we did what we could.
[19:40] ---
    Hey. Great game.
[19:44] ---
    Uh, thanks.
[19:46] ---
    I thought I had figured
    out how to shut you down.
[19:50] ---
    But you caught me off guard
    with that two-handed shot.
[19:52] ---
    You made me realize I can still improve.
[19:54] ---
    It wasn't much.
[19:57] ---
    Come on! Time to line up, guys!
[20:00] ---
    At 146 to 22,
[20:02] ---
    Shinmaruko High School is the winner.
[20:04] ---
    Thanks for the game!
[20:09] ---
    Uh, hey!
[20:09] ---
    Huh?
[20:10] ---
    Thank you so much!
[20:12] ---
    I really appreciate you
    not holding back on us.
[20:15] ---
    And also... I hope that...
[20:17] ---
    165 centimeters.
[20:19] ---
    Huh?
[20:21] ---
    That's how tall I was back
    in my last year of middle school.
[20:24] ---
    I was sure that I didn't lose
    out to anyone in terms of skill.
[20:27] ---
    But I wasn't allowed to play in any games for years
    solely because of my lack of height.
[20:33] ---
    The team at our school puts
    an emphasis on height.
[20:36] ---
    That's why even if any of those shorter freshmen join us,
    they'll likely never play regularly.
[20:42] ---
    I figured it was better to reject them outright,
    rather than have them waste 3 years of nothing.
[20:48] ---
    But now I realize, even shorter players
    can be pretty effective.
[20:53] ---
    Though... it's too late for
    me to just take it back.
[20:56] ---
    Don't worry!
[20:58] ---
    If they really want to play,
    then they'll come again!
[21:05] ---
    I guess that's true!
[21:06] ---
    Though it'd be a handful to deal
    with a bunch of kids like you!
[21:09] ---
    Um! Can I ask you just one question?
[21:11] ---
    Huh?
[21:12] ---
    What do I need to eat to
    grow as tall as you are?
[21:18] ---
    Meat, dude! Eat more meat!
[21:20] ---
    Meat, really?
[21:21] ---
    Yeah! Be a meat eater!

[21:30] ---
    He may be small...
[21:33] ---
    ...but he makes a big impact!

    Is there a problem, Chiba?
[23:12] ---
    That's weird. I swear I
    left my shoes in here.
[23:20] ---
    By the way, Chiaki...
[23:22] ---
    ...did you buy some new shoes?
[23:25] ---
    They're nice, huh? I just
    found them lying around.
[23:28] ---
    "Lying around"?
[23:30] ---
    Yep.
