**[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!
**[10:40] [SONG] Sign**
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!

**[16:26] Uki**
*And she ran out of ideas toward the end...*
**[16:29] Kohane**
Uki!
**[16:31] Uki**
What was with that half-baked ranking?
**[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!
**[16:44] Kohane**
And, like, totally yay!
**[16:46] Uki**
You're just trying to force it!
**[16:47] Kohane**
Don't you feel any different
after reading that letter?
**[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?
**[17:23] Uki**
Let's ea—
**[17:26] Kohane**
Aren't the mini pom poms cute?
**[17:28] Uki**
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.
**[17:56] Hizume**
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!"
