[00:02] Lady
    We will now begin the World High School
    Cheerleading Championships.
[00:07] Lady
    Our first performance will be from the
    Kaminoki High School cheerleading club.
[00:46] Kohane
    We did it!
[00:58] Uki
    Kohane?!
[00:59] Sensei
    Hatoya Kohane, you'll be standing
    for the rest of class.
[01:03] Uki
    A competition?
[01:05] Kohane
    Yeah! The chair comp—I mean, the
    cheer competition that was on TV.
[01:09] Kohane
    I recorded it, and after watching it,
    I actually dreamed about it.
[01:12] Uki
    They have competitions?
[01:14] Kohane
    You were in it with me, Uki!
[01:15] Uki
    In your dream, right?
[01:17] Kohane
    Your costume was so cute!
[01:20] Uki
    Wha—
[01:21] Kohane
    You should do cheer with me!
[01:23] Uki
    I told you, I won't do it!
SIGN    Anima Yell!
[03:01] Uki
    Kohane! So this is where you were.
[03:04] Kohane
    Uki!
[03:07] Uki
    My childhood friend, Hatoya Kohane,
[03:10] ---
    often gets hurt.
[03:13] Uki
    Jeez, you got hurt again?
[03:16] ---
    We're gonna be in high school
    next year, you know.
[03:19] Kohane
    Owie...
[03:21] Uki
    What happened today?
[03:23] Kohane
    Well...
[03:25] Uki
    Usually, the reason she gets hurt is
    because she was helping someone.
[03:28] Uki
    When she sees someone in trouble,
[03:30] ---
    she takes off running without
    even thinking about herself.
[03:34] Kohane
    Apparently the ball was really important
    to her, so she was really happy.
[03:38] Kohane
    That makes me happy!
[03:40] Uki
    That doesn't make me happy.
[03:44] Uki
    I mean... you're hurt, Kohane.
[03:46] Kohane
    I'll be fine! It's not as bad as it looks.
[03:49] Uki
    That's not the point!
[03:51] ---
    I don't want you getting hurt at all!
[03:54] Kohane
    Okay, I'll be more careful!
[03:56] Uki
    She totally doesn't get it!
[03:59] Uki
    As soon as someone else needs help,
[04:03] ---
    she's going to forget everything I just
    said and take off running again.
[04:09] Uki
    That's why, when Kohane told me that
    she found something she wanted to do,
[04:13] ---
    it made me happy.
[04:15] Uki
    Hopefully, she'll put herself
    first once in a while now,
[04:19] Uki
    and act calm like high
    school students should.
[04:25] Uki
    Kohane?
[04:26] Uki
    What's up? Why'd you call me up here?
[04:31] Kohane
    Behold!
[04:37] Uki
    She's not calm at all!
SIGN    Episode 2: Cute Yet Cool
[04:44] Kohane
    Arima-san joined, so we can
    finally begin practice!
[04:48] Uki
    You already told me that yesterday.
[04:50] Kohane
    Let me know if you need anything!
[04:52] Kohane
    I'll cheer you on!
[04:53] Uki
    Yeah, sure.
[04:57] Uki
    Hup...
[04:58] Kohane
    You can do it, you can do it, Uki!
[05:00] Uki
    You could help me here!
[05:01] Kohane
    I'm too scared to go
    anywhere near the fence!
[05:04] Uki
    Then why'd you come up to the roof?!
[05:07] Kohane
    Look! I got so excited that
    I even ordered uniforms!
[05:11] Kohane
    I have one for Arima-san, too!
[05:13] Uki
    Ordered them? From where?
[05:16] Kohane
    This really useful web page!
SIGN    I'll cheer you on at night, too
SIGN    This delicate piece
    will help enhance
    your night together.
[05:19] Uki
    I knew it'd be something like that...
[05:21] Uki
    Take that off right now and
    return it immediately!
[05:23] Kohane
    Aw, but it's so cute...
[05:28] Uki
    You definitely shouldn't
    show this to Arima-san...
[05:31] Kohane
    You think so?
[05:34] Kohane
    I also thought it was a little off...
[05:37] Uki
    Oh, so you did realize—
[05:39] Kohane
    Arima-san looks better
    in blue than in purple!
[05:41] Uki
    Who cares?!
[05:42] Kohane
    I'm so excited for after
    school! Wanna come, Uki?
[05:45] Uki
    No.
[05:47] Kohane
    You're pretty much a member of the
    cheer club. You don't need to be shy.
[05:50] Uki
    I'm not being shy.
[05:57] Kohane
    I'm so sorry! I'll order
    one for you right now!
[06:00] Uki
    Don't!
[06:02] Uki
    And stop imagining me in that!
[06:08] Kohane
    Time goes by so slowly...
[06:12] Uki
    I'm surprised you're actually
    taking notes like you should be.
SIGN    Team names
    
    Super Cheers (behold how super this sounds)
    Very Cuties (To emphasize the cuteness of cheer)
    --Cool Cheers (We plan to be cool)--
    Special Group
     Go Go Cheer
    Eccentric
[06:17] Uki
    You should find more members
    before thinking up a team name.
[06:19] Kohane
    I did what I could for the time being.
[06:28] Hizume
    Usually, gathering members
    would be important,
[06:31] ---
    but today, I'd like to do some exercise.
[06:35] Hizume
    But...
[06:37] Hizume
    Why are you already exhausted
    before we've even started?
[06:39] Kohane
    I'm tired mentally...
[06:41] Kohane
    But I have plenty of energy to cheer!
[06:44] Kohane
    What are we going to do today?
[06:46] Hizume
    We're going to test your physical strength.
[06:50] hizume
    It's essential to determine
    everyone's individual abilities.
[06:55] Hizume
    It'll help with deciding their positions.
[06:56] Kohane
    Here.
[06:59] Kohane
    Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
[07:02] Hizume
    Concentration: zero.
[07:03] Kohane
    That's part of the test?
[07:06] Hizume
    First, we need to do warm-ups.
[07:09] Kohane
    You got it, Sensei!
[07:15] Kohane
    I'm going to get yelled at!
[07:18] Hizume
    It's okay.
[07:20] Hizume
    I wasn't expecting anything, anyway.
[07:22] Kohane
    That hurts even mo— ow, ow, ow, ow!
[07:25] Hizume
    No one can do it right from the start.
[07:29] Hizume
    And your flexibility isn't going
    to suddenly change overnight.
[07:34] Hizume
    We just need to work at it gradually.
[07:37] Kohane
    So she's planning on sticking
    with me for the long haul...
[07:41] Kohane
    Yeah!
[07:42] Hizume
    That being said, I'm not
    going to go easy on you.
[07:48] Kohane
    Okay! I'm going to do my best!
    Just you watch, Arima-san!
[08:01] Hizume
    10.2 seconds.
[08:02] Kohane
    I must be a woman... better suited
    for long-distance running...
[08:06] Hizume
    Now let's try long-distance.
[08:09] Kohane
    No, I must be a woman made for jumping...
[08:12] Hizume
    Vertical jumps.
[08:16] Hizume
    Jumping from side to side.
[08:17] Kohane
    I-I'm a woman made... for jumping...
    from side to side...
[08:23] Kohane
    Am I even a woman?
[08:26] Hizume
    Huh?! Um, I believe so...
[08:29] Kohane
    I know! I'm a woman made to cheer!
[08:32] Hizume
    And what do you mean by that?
[08:34] Kohane
    I'm plenty confident when it
    comes to cheering people on!
[08:38] Hizume
    Well, she has a point...
SIGN    Long-distance running
    Vertical jumping
    Jumping side to side
    Smile
[08:44] Hizume
    I won't tell her this, but...
[08:47] Hizume
    But that was more like just
    jumping down than cheering.
[08:50] Hizume
    By the way, have you gotten
    used to high places?
[08:53] Kohane
    N-Nope...
[08:55] Kohane
    I was only able to jump that one time
    because my cheer power was maxed out...
[09:00] Hizume
    Cheer... power?
[09:02] Kohane
    Yup. Cheer power!
[09:06] Hizume
    I see!
[09:07] [SONG] Sign
    Satisfied.
[09:13] Hizume
    That does it for the
    physical strength tests.
[09:19] Hizume
    I guess I can't blame her for being
    depressed by these horrible results.
[09:24] Kohane
    We...
[09:26] Kohane
    We didn't do anything
    cheerleader-like at all!
[09:29] Hizume
    That's what's bugging you?!
[09:30] Kohane
    Well, I was looking forward to it!
[09:33] Kohane
    Dances using pom poms,
[09:36] Kohane
    and maybe even some stunts!
[09:38] Hizume
    All that in your first practice?
[09:40] Hizume
    We need to figure out what your
    individual abilities are first.
[09:54] Hizume
    Hatoya-san, here you go.
[09:57] Kohane
    What's this?
[09:59] Hizume
    It's my practice outfit from middle school,
[10:03] Hizume
    but it's too small for me now,
    so you can have it, if you'd like.
[10:06] Kohane
    A p-practice outfit for cheerleading?
[10:08] Hizume
    She got over that fast!
[10:10] Kohane
    Wow, it's so cute! And not only that...
[10:15] Kohane
    This amazing design even allows
    me to cheer with my butt!
[10:18] Hizume
    I don't think that was the
    designer's intention!
[10:21] Hizume
    Do you feel more like a cheerleader now?
[10:23] Kohane
    I'm so happy! Thank you, Arima-san!
[10:26] Hizume
    N-No problem...
[10:27] Kohane
    Oh, yeah!
[10:28] ---
    I got this for you, Arima-san!
[10:33] Hizume
    Are you mocking cheer?!
[10:35] Kohane
    No, I'm not! I love it!

    One Week Later
[10:44] Kohane
    My whole body is sore
    after training all week...
[10:49] Uki
    Let me hold your backpack.
[10:50] Kohane
    Thanks...
[10:52] Uki
    I guess that's what you'd expect
    from a former top cheerleader.
[10:55] Uki
    It must be really rigorous training.
[10:57] Kohane
    I have to touch my toes
    ten times, do ten sit-ups,
[10:59] Kohane
    then ten push-ups, and ten sprints!
[11:02] Kohane
    It's so rough!
[11:06] Kohane
    Uki?!
[11:07] Uki
    I thought I'd help you out
    with your training a bit.
[11:13] Kohane
    I wanna do actual cheerleading!
[11:14] Uki
    But the things you're doing now
    are basics for cheer, right?
[11:19] Uki
    The basics are important for anything.
[11:21] Kohane
    I know that, but...
[11:27] Uki
    It looks like Kohane's getting
    tired from all the basic training.
[11:32] Uki
    And I'm spoiling her again.
[11:33] Hizume
    But I haven't had her do
    anything strenuous yet.
[11:36] Uki
    You're absolutely right!
[11:38] Uki
    It might be because she's never
    been great at physical activities.
[11:43] Uki
    I think if you can raise her motivation,
[11:44] ---
    she'll feel more willing to do the basics.
[11:46] Hizume
    But that's just spoiling—
SIGN    Only training
SIGN    Motivation declines Only training
SIGN    Desire to cheer declines Motivation declines
SIGN    She quits cheerleading Desire to cheer declines
SIGN    I'm alone again She quits cheerleading
[11:54] Kohane
    My bad!
SIGN    I'm alone again
SIGN    I'm Alone Again
[11:58] Hizume
    Alone... alone... All alone...
[12:01] Hizume
    Alone...
[12:01] Uki
    Wait, why'd her trauma switch flip on?
[12:03] Hizume
    Alone... Alone...
[12:06] Hizume
    So today, there's been a
    slight change in plans.
[12:09] Hizume
    We'll do something that
    feels more like cheerleading.
[12:11] Hizume
    You'll be joining us, Sawatari-san,
    since you're the one who suggested this.
[12:14] Uki
    Why?
[12:15] Hizume
    Let's make some pom poms today.
[12:18] Kohane
    Aren't pom poms great?
    They're so cheer-like and cute!
[12:21] Uki
    Thank goodness. She seems to feel better.
[12:25] Hizume
    First, we'll wrap this ribbon
    around this cardboard.
[12:30] Hizume
    While we do that, we're going
    to spread our legs like this
[12:33] ---
    and stretch our Achilles tendons.
[12:36] Hizume
    Once you wrap it about twenty times,
    carefully slip the ribbon off,
[12:39] Hizume
    and we'll then tie the middle.
[12:42] Hizume
    As you do that, keep
    your legs stretched open.
[12:43] Uki
    You're gradually sneaking
    in some training...
[12:46] Uki
    Dang, this is harder than it looks.
[12:50] Kohane
    Yeah, my body seems to be trembling...
[12:54] Hizume
    I'll tell you the trick, Sawatari-san.
[12:57] Uki
    There's a trick to this?
[12:59] Hizume
    The truth is...
[13:00] Hizume
    There's no need to stretch your
    Achilles tendon while doing this.
[13:02] Uki
    Yeah, I knew that.
[13:04] Hizume
    My stars!
[13:08] Uki
    We did it.
[13:09] Kohane
    Look! They're super cute
    when you open them up!
[13:12] Kohane
    Look, look!
[13:13] Uki
    Stop that!
[13:14] Kohane
    It's so cute!
[13:15] Hizume
    Next, without opening them,
    we'll be cutting both ends.
[13:16] Uki
    Stop that!
[13:22] Hizume
    Once you do that, spread
    them out from the center.
[13:25] Hizume
    And while you do that...
[13:27] Uki
    She's thinking hard...
[13:29] Hizume
    You'll be cheering!
[13:31] Hizume
    Go for win! Go for win! Go for win!
[13:32] Uki
    You're definitely pushing it, Arima-san...
[13:34] Kohane
    Go for whoa! Go for whoa!
[13:36] Uki
    What? She didn't even hesitate!
[13:39] Hizume
    Tie two pieces together on
    the inside, and they're finished.
[13:43] Uki
    Wow, I'm sort of impressed.
[13:46] Uki
    Wait, what?!
[13:48] Hizume
    They looked the same for most
    of the process! How did you...
[13:51] Kohane
    I ended up concentrating too much on
    the cheers, and before I realized it...
[13:57] Kohane
    The first pom poms I've ever made...
[13:59] Uki
    But you've made some before.
[14:01] Kohane
    I made those my own way, though.
[14:03] Hizume
    Very well. Why don't we trade?
[14:07] Uki
    Arima-san feels bad...
[14:09] ---
    But this is... This is...
[14:11] Uki
    Y-You can trade for mine!
[14:13] Hizume
    Why don't we all trade, then?
[14:15] Kohane
    Sounds good!
[14:17] Uki
    Kohane's... first pom poms...
[14:22] Kohane
    Pom poms that we as the
    cheer club made together...
[14:25] Kohane
    This'll be a great memory!
[14:27] Hizume
    Yes.
[14:31] Uki
    Hey! Don't bring me into this!
[14:33] Both
    Tch.
[14:41] Uki
    I can't believe I got dragged into that.
[14:57] Uki
    Y-You've got the wrong idea!
[14:59] Uki
    I was just testing out the
    pom poms Kohane made!
[15:03] Uki
    I'm not joining! I'm not
    going to be a cheerleader!
[15:10] Uki
    Morning!
[15:11] Kotetsu
    Oh, good morning, Sawatari-san.
[15:14] Kon
    Hey, did you decide on a club yet?
[15:16] Uki
    No, not yet.
[15:17] Kon
    We haven't, either.
[15:19] Kotetsu
    Yeah, we need to decide soon.
[15:21] Kon
    Is there a club you're
    interested in, Sawatari-san?
[15:24] Uki
    I'm not...
[15:25] Kohane
    In that case!
[15:27] Kohane
    Huh? It won't open...
[15:29] Kohane
    Uki! Uki! Uki!
[15:31] Uki
    Yeah, I can't think of a single
    club I'm interested in.
[15:35] Kohane
    Uki!
[15:37] Kohane
    Giving those who are lost a
    nudge in the right direction
[15:40] ---
    is also a part of cheer!
[15:42] Kohane
    Come on over to the cheerleading club!
[15:43] Uki
    By "give them a nudge," you actually
    mean "push them over."
[15:46] Uki
    What were you even doing in the locker?
[15:47] Kohane
    I thought I'd surprise you guys and tell
    you how great the cheerleading club is!
[15:51] Uki
    Okay, then tell us what's so great about it,
    since you're now an authority on cheer.
[15:55] Uki
    Authority on cheer... Authority
    on cheer... Authority on cheer...
[15:59] Kohane
    An authority on cheer...
[16:01] Inukai
    Okay, everyone, to your seats.
[16:04] Uki
    And time's up.
[16:06] Kotetsu
    Well, bye.
[16:07] Kon
    Good luck with your cheerleading club. Bye.
[16:09] Kohane
    I'll cheer you on if you ever need me!

[16:34] Kohane
    It's not half-baked!
[16:35] Kohane
    I mean, cheer is cute! It's amazing!
[16:39] Kohane
    It's beautiful!

[16:50] Uki
    I'm definitely at a loss for words.
[16:53] Kohane
    Cheerleading will bring you
    good things, you know!
[16:55] Uki
    For example?
[16:57] Kohane
    Your body becomes more flexible!
[17:00] Kohane
    See? Isn't this amazing?
[17:01] Uki
    Is she joking or serious?
[17:04] Kohane
    I'm way more flexible than before!
[17:06] Uki
    With that? I mean, I like exercising, but...
[17:14] Uki
    I wonder if punishing uniform
    thieves counts as exercising...
[17:18] Kohane
    H-Huh?

    Let's ea—
[17:26] Kohane
    Aren't the mini pom poms cute?

    Oh, come on, Kohane.
    You even put them in there?
[17:31] Uki
    So, where's my lunch?
[17:35] Kohane
    Peep!
[17:37] Kohane
    I'm having a really hard time convincing Uki...
[17:40] Hizume
    It might be difficult to
    imagine herself doing it
[17:43] ---
    if she doesn't see the real thing.
[17:46] Kohane
    Come to think of it, I didn't
    decide I wanted to do cheer
[17:49] ---
    until I saw the real thing.
[17:51] Hizume
    I'll figure out a way for her to
    see some actual cheerleading.

    Rather than devising some
    scheme to get her to join,
[17:59] ---
    try to express your honest feelings about
    how much you want to do this with her.
[18:05] Hizume
    I mean, that's all you can really do.
[18:08] Kohane
    That's it?!
[18:09] Kohane
    I'll tell you, Uki! I'll tell you how I feel!
[18:13] Kohane
    Um... I want to do cheer with Uki,
[18:17] Kohane
    and I want her to enjoy it...
[18:20] Kohane
    I know that she'll like
    the uniforms, too...
[18:23] Uki
    Kohane.
[18:25] Uki
    Where have you been?
[18:27] Kohane
    Uki!
[18:30] Kohane
    Um... Um...
[18:33] Kohane
    Uki, I...
[18:35] Kohane
    I want to do it with you, Uki!
[18:37] Uki
    Huh?! Buh... wha... What the
    hell are you talking about?!
[18:42] Uki
    Oh, you meant cheer...
[18:45] Kohane
    Did you already promise someone
    else you'd join their club?
[18:48] Uki
    O-Of course not.
[18:50] Uki
    It's not like I have anyone...
[18:53] Uki
    other than you, to make that promise to...
[18:55] Girl
    Sawatari-san!
[18:57] Girl
    This is from Arima-san in Class 1.
SIGN    Sawatari-sama
[19:00] Girl
    She asked me to give this to you.
[19:02] Kohane
    I guess you got close enough to write each
    other notes before I even noticed.
[19:06] Uki
    How can you say that when this clearly
    looks like she's challenging me?
[19:11] Uki
    "Please meet me on the roof."
    Is she really challenging me?
[19:16] Uki
    Honestly, now even Arima-san's
    getting ridiculous...
[19:21] Kohane
    Why'd you shut it?
[19:22] Uki
    W-W-W-Well, Arima-san was striking a pose!
[19:25] Kohane
    She's waiting for you!
[19:28] Kohane
    That's enough talk!
[19:29] Kohane
    It's starting! Hurry!
[19:30] Uki
    Start? What's starting?
[19:32] Kohane
    I'm sure it'll be great! Just open the door!
[19:36] Hizume
    Go, go, Kaminoki! Let's go,
    Kaminoki! Go, fight, win!
[19:42] Hizume
    Go, go, Kaminoki! Let's go,
    Kaminoki! Go, fight, win!
[19:59] Hizume
    Let's go!
[20:21] Uki
    That's amazing!
[20:22] Kohane
    Right? Right?! It's amazing, right?
[20:24] Kohane
    Don't you feel like doing it now?
[20:26] Uki
    Uh... Well...
[20:28] Uki
    I'm still not sure if I want to do it,
    but I know one thing now...
[20:36] Uki
    It's cute but cool!
[20:39] Kohane
    I know, right?!
[20:40] Hizume
    I would also love to have you
    as a teammate, Sawatari-san.
[20:45] Uki
    I know why Kohane wants me to join,
    but why do you say that, Arima-san?
[20:50] Hizume
    When supporting, the more
    people we have, the better.
[20:53] Hizume
    When we're supporting Hatoya-san, that is!
[20:55] Kohane
    Oh, are we talking about stunts?!
[20:57] Uki
    She's definitely talking
    about mental support.
[21:05] Uki
    I guess helping a friend do something
    they want to do is also like cheerleading...
[21:12] Uki
    Okay, I'll join the cheerleading club—
[21:14] Kohane
    Uki!
[21:15] Uki
    Or not!
[21:17] Kohane
    Sorry!
[21:19] Hizume
    Let's introduce ourselves
    formally. I'm Arima Hizume.
[21:22] Uki
    Oh, I'm Sawatari Uki.
    Pleasure to work with you.
[21:25] Uki
    I have absolutely no experience
    in cheer. Will that be okay?
[21:28] Hizume
    Of course.
[21:30] Hizume
    Please do your best to support Hatoya-san.
[21:33] Uki
    Sure. I'll do my absolute best.
[21:36] Kohane
    Wait... But I'm the cheer authority...
[21:40] Kohane
    But why were you so hesitant to
    join the cheerleading club, Uki?
[21:44] Uki
    W-Well... The cheer uniform
    skirts are so short...
[21:49] Kohane
    But you like cute clothes, don't you?
[21:51] Uki
    I-I-I do not!
[21:53] Hizume
    Then would you prefer the uniform with pants?
[21:57] Hizume
    They do exist.
[21:59] Kohane
    Hey! Those look like the
    practice clothes you gave me!
[22:05] Hizume
    Push.
[23:38] Kohane
    Next time: "The Cheer Association,
    Cheering for Love!"
