SIGN    All-Japan Flying Circus

     West Kyushu Qualifiers
[00:02] Ho
    It's time for the All-Japan
    Flying Circus Fall Tournament!
[00:08] Ho
    We're at the West Kyushu qualifiers,
[00:10] Ho
    where Mashiro Udon's poster

SIGN    Arisaka Mashiro
SIGN    Kunahama High 1st Year
SIGN    Ichinose Rika
SIGN    Takafuji Academy 1st Year
[00:14] Ho
    is currently facing Takafuji Academy's
    hottest prospect, Ichinose Rika!
[00:19] Ho
    The two first-years, having
    won their first-round matches,
[00:22] Ho
    are now facing off in an A Block
    second-round matchup.
[00:25] Ho
    Which of these two will
    progress to the third round?
[00:30] Ri
    See you later!
[00:33] G
    Point to Ichinose!
[00:34] Ri
    The first point is mine!
[00:47] Ir
    They're getting so excited
    about a run-of-the-mill match.
[00:50] Ir
    On the other hand, our FC is sure
    to elicit pin-drop silence.
[00:55] Ir
    If we win two tournaments in a row,
[00:59] Ir
    the FC community will be forced to admit...
[01:02] Sa
    That what we created is superior.
[01:05] Ir
    That our beautiful, perfect FC is superior.
SIGN    Episode Eleven: "I Refuse to Lose!"
[02:42] Ho
    In the A Block second-round
    speeder-versus-speeder matchup,
[02:44] Ho
    Ichinose has drawn first blood!
[02:49] Mas
    She's going to pull away!
[02:51] A
    Remember, M-Mashiro-chan!
    It's all about spirit!
[02:53] Mi
    Why are you so nervous?
[02:55] H
    Step on it, Mashiro!
[02:58] H
    And put your gameplan into motion!
[03:00] H
    Got it?
[03:00] Mas
    Y-Yeah!
[03:05] (Flashback) Ri
    Mashiro.
[03:07] (Flashback) Ri
    Let's both do our best in our match today.
[03:09] (Flashback) Mas
    Yeah! I'm coming for you
    with everything I have!
[03:14] (Flashback) Mas
    Thank you, Rika.
[03:16] (Flashback) Mas
    It's all thanks to you that I managed
    to find my own style of FC...
[03:21] (Flashback) Mas
    That I managed to get this far.
[03:23] (Flashback) Ri
    I didn't do anything.
[03:25] (Flashback) Ri
    You're the one who put in the
    effort to make it this far.
[03:27] (Flashback) Mas
    Compared to how much effort you put
    in, I've still got a ways to go.
[03:31] (Flashback) Mas
    But I refuse to lose!
[03:33] (Flashback) Mas
    I'll beat you this time for sure.
[03:35] (Flashback) Ri
    Good.
[03:36] (Flashback) Ri
    Bring it on.
[03:43] A
    Mashiro-chan's making her move.
[03:45] Mi
    Yeah.
[03:47] G
    Point to Ichinose! 0-2!
[03:50] Ho
    Ichinose now has a two-point lead!
[03:53] Ho
    Can Arisaka come back from this?
[03:55] Ri
    Where's Mashiro? I thought
    she took a shortcut.
[03:57] R
    Above you!
[04:00] Ri
    Mashiro?!
[04:00] Mas
    I call this the Pickle Stone Tactic!
[04:03] Mas
    And I'm putting it in play!
[04:05] Mi
    "Pickle Stone"? Come on.
[04:07] H
    She'll put her opponent under pressure
    by taking up position above her,
[04:09] H
    and then go for either her
    back or the next buoy.
[04:11] A
    This is just like Inui-san's tactic!
[04:15] R
    Smart move, I must admit.
[04:17] Ari
    Goddammit! I wanted to face her!
[04:19] G
    Mind your language, young lady.
[04:21] Ari
    I-I'm sorry, milady!
[04:24] Aoi
    She got a good read on Ichinose's
    movements and got above her.
[04:29] Mas
    Here I come!
[04:38] Mas
    Got you!
[04:40] G
    Point to Arisaka! 1-2!
[04:44] G
    Point to Arisaka!
[04:46] Ho
    We're all tied up!
[04:47] Ho
    Arisaka scored two straight
    points to level the score!
[04:52] Sh
    That's the way, Arisaka!
[04:54] Sh
    As a fellow speeder, I'll share
    some of my spirit with you!
[04:54] Mad
    Only team members are allowed back here, Bro.
[04:58] R
    Take a shortcut to the fourth
    line at once, Ichinose-san!
[05:01] Ri
    Okay!
[05:03] Ri
    I'm not letting you past!
[05:04] R
    You must stop her, no matter what.
[05:06] R
    Don't let her get away.
[05:07] Ri
    Got it!
[05:12] Mad
    A back punch?!
[05:13] Mi
    Nicely done.
[05:18] Ri
    Got your back!
[05:21] G
    Point to Ichinose! 2-3!
[05:31] Mas
    Ultimate Move: Mashiro Punch!
[05:35] G
    Point to Arisaka! 3-3!
[05:38] Mi
    Way to go, Mashiro!
[05:39] A
    This match is too close to call!
[05:40] Mas
    I haven't been taking on Misaki-senpai
    or Asuka-senpai for show, you know.
[05:44] Mas
    I'll beat you this time for sure!
[05:46] R
    I want to win, too!
[05:48] Mi
    Ichinose-chan has gotten a lot
    better at dogfighting since summer.
[05:52] Mad
    She must've practiced really
    hard after losing to you.
[05:55] A
    They're both awesome!
[05:57] Sh
    Guess I should've learned more
    lessons from my defeat, too.
[06:00] Mad
    Oh, come on, Bro.
[06:03] Mi
    We'll have to do our best
    so they don't outshine us.
[06:05] A
    Yeah.
[06:11] Ho
    Time's running out!
[06:12] Ho
    Who will triumph in this one?
[06:14] ---
    Takafuji's Ichinose, or Kunahama's Arisaka?
[06:14] Ir
    That match is still going?
[06:17] Sa
    Kunahama...
[06:21] (Flashback) A
    But I'm practicing really
    hard right now so I can have
[06:24] (Flashback) A
    an exciting match with you next time.
[06:26] (Flashback) A
    So look forward to the fall tournament—
[06:28] (Flashback) Sa
    That's out of the question.
[06:31] Ir
    What's wrong, Saki?
[06:33] Ir
    Let's go.
[06:38] H
    Make a beeline for the first buoy, Mashiro!
[06:40] Mas
    Okay!
[06:42] Ri
    Oh, no, you don't!
[06:46] Mad
    Mashiro-cchi...
[06:56] G
    Point to Arisaka!
[06:58] G
    4-3!

    Congrats, Mashiro.
[07:24] Ri
    But I'll be the one to win next time.
[07:30] Mas
    That won't happen, Rika.
[07:32] Mas
    I'll have the last laugh next time, too.
[07:38] A
    Mashiro-chan played so well.
[07:40] Mi
    All right! Time to break a leg myself!
[07:43] Mi

    Let's eat!
[07:58] Mi
    So, how does that celebratory udon taste?
[08:00] Mas
    Delicious!
[08:02] MasMo
    Aww, you bring a tear to my eye.
[08:04] Mas
    I wasn't talking to you, Mom.
[08:07] Ari
    Congrats, Mashiro.
[08:09] Ari
    I'll allow you to treat
    me to udon to celebrate.
[08:11] Ga
    Stop that, Arika.
[08:12] Ari
    I'm sorry.
[08:13] MasMo
    Fine by me!
[08:14] ---
    Everyone who rooted for Mashiro
    gets to eat on the house!
[08:18] Mas
    You're embarrassing me, Mom.
[08:20] R
    We've come to sample the offerings as well.
[08:23] Ri
    When I told them Mashiro Udon serves great
    food, they wanted to try some.
[08:27] Mi
    Shindo-san!
[08:28] Mi
    I didn't know you were here to watch.
[08:29] Kaz
    I am.
[08:30] Kaz
    Partly to cheer my juniors on,
[08:32] Kaz
    but also because I'm curious
    about how Inui will play this time.
[08:35] Kaz
    How are things, Hinata-kun?
[08:37] H
    I think we're as ready as we could be.
[08:40] R
    I'll be taking her on in the third round.
[08:43] R
    I shall eat some udon and make
    sure I play with maximum spirit!
[08:46] MasMo
    I'll have yer bowls ready right away.
[08:50] Mad
    A-Asuka-chan! You need to get
    ready for the next match!
[08:53] A
    R-Right! I'd better hurry!
[08:55] Mi
    I'll eat some more and join you later.
[08:56] MasMo
    They're such a lively bunch.
[09:01] Haruki
    Stay on your toes, Aoi.
[09:03] Aoi
    Where did that come from?
[09:05] Har
    Kairyou Academy's Inui Saki and
    her second, Irina Avalon...
[09:09] Har
    Those two are no ordinary team.
[09:12] Aoi
    Please.
[09:13] Aoi
    We've known that since the summer tournament.
[09:16] Har
    No, that's not all I'm talking about.
[09:18] Har
    I bet they still have
    something up their sleeves.
[09:20] Har
    That Avalon brand bothers me.
[09:23] Aoi
    Is this your instinct as an
    experienced dealer talking?
[09:28] Har
    There's something off about those Grav-Shoes.
[09:32] Aoi
    I'll keep an eye out.
[09:36] G
    Kurashina wins!
[09:39] H
    Well played.
[09:40] A
    Thanks!
[09:41] Mas
    That flying fish-like barrel
    roll was really pretty!
[09:46] A
    Where's Misaki-chan?
[09:47] Mad
    Over at B Block. Her next match begins soon.
[09:50] Mas
    She was having an udon-eating
    contest until just now, though.
[09:53] Mad
    I hope she doesn't get an upset tummy.
[09:55] Mas
    But Shindo-san was something else.
[09:57] Mad
    I know, right?
[09:58] Mad
    He gobbled those noodles up like a Cobra.
[10:01] G
    This match is over!
[10:03] G
    Inui wins 8-0!
[10:08] Ho
    She's good! Way too good!
[10:10] Ho
    Inui once again used the Birdcage,
    which dethroned Shindo,
[10:13] Ho
    to inflict a crushing defeat on Satouin!
[10:17] Ir
    That was perfect, Saki. Keep it up.
[10:19] Sa
    Okay.

    tournament comes to close,

    Don't worry. You did great.
[10:56] A
    She's right, Mashiro-chan.
[10:58] Mad
    You put up a good fight against
    Ganeko-san, who placed third in summer.
[11:01] H
    Misaki, you're going up
    against Inui tomorrow.
[11:04] Mi
    I'm gonna show off the fruits of

[12:28] Mi
    This isn't some idol concert, you know.

    In Mashiro-chan's eyes,

    Would you listen to me?
[15:07] H
    Misaki.
[15:10] H
    Scared?
[15:13] Mi
    I guess.
[15:14] Mi
    I mean, Inui-san destroyed Satouin-san.
[15:19] Mi
    And I could lose the same way.
[15:22] Mi
    I'll admit that I am pretty
    scared of that prospect.
[15:26] H
    Misaki...
[15:28] Mi
    But it's because I lost that I could
    take a long, hard look at myself.
[15:34] Mi
    And it's because I lost that
    I could dedicate myself to FC.
[15:39] Mi
    Anyway, I'm gonna go on
    the attack and stay there!
[15:42] Mi
    That is my brand of FC!
[15:46] H
    Yeah.
[15:54] Mi
    Inui-san...
[15:57] Mi
    I'm gonna break free of your Birdcage.
[16:00] Mi
    You'd best be prepared to zipzap.

    On your marks...

    Set!

    Here we go!

[16:21] Ho
    whereas Tobisawa immediately took a shortcut!
[16:27] G
    Point to Inui!
[16:36] A
    So it does come down to this after all.
[16:39] Kaz
    Now, then.
[16:40] Kaz
    What will you do, Tobisawa-kun?
[16:44] H
    Misaki.
[16:45] H
    Inui's looking to win all her matches
    in this tournament with the Birdcage.
[16:50] H
    So...
[16:50] H
    you should be able to get
    close to her from below.
[16:52] Mi
    Roger.
[16:53] Mi
    As always, I'm gonna look to get
    down and dirty in a dogfight.
[16:56] H
    That's the way.
[16:57] H
    Once you get close, stick to her like glue
[17:01] H
    and break her down bit by bit!
[17:02] Mi
    The entire time?
[17:03] Mi
    This is gonna be a pain in the tail.
[17:06] Mi
    But quitting would be even worse!
[17:10] Mi
    Okay...
[17:12] Mi
    Here I go!
[17:17] Ho
    Whoa! Tobisawa with an insane burst of speed!
[17:26] Ho
    Come on, Inui-san. Let's zipzap.
[17:30] H
    Don't let her get away, Misaki!
[17:32] Mi
    I know!
[17:35] Ir
    Sonic Boost, eh?
[17:36] Ir
    She must've practiced a whole lot.
[17:40] Ir
    But...
[17:41] Ir
    No change in plans, Saki.
[17:43] Ir
    Push her down to the water.
[17:45] Sa
    Okay, Irina.
[17:50] Sa
    Inui suddenly stopped in her
    tracks and blew Tobisawa back,
[17:52] ---
    and now Tobisawa's falling!
[17:56] Mi
    I said, let's zip...
[17:58] Mi
    zap!
[18:02] Mi
    There's more!
[18:08] Mi
    Once more!
[18:19] Mi
    How's that? Did it fire you up some?
[18:24] Ir
    Saki...
[18:25] Ir
    Don't let her dictate the tempo.
[18:26] Sa
    I know.
[18:28] Mas
    This match is so like Misaki-senpai!
[18:30] A
    Yeah.
[18:31] Ho
    Oh, Tobisawa has been
    forced down to the water!
[18:42] Ri
    She made it out of the water!
[18:44] S
    She isn't clear yet.
[18:45] S
    She hasn't broken free of the Birdcage yet.
[18:49] Ho
    Back and forth they go, trying to
    secure an advantageous position above!
[18:54] Kaz
    She's having trouble breaking free.
[18:59] Sa
    Not looking to get above me anymore?
[19:02] Mi
    H-Hey, you can't touch my back like this.
[19:06] Aoi
    I see.
[19:08] Aoi
    She's flying upside-down, huh?
[19:09] H
    Yeah, with her back facing away, she
    won't be at a disadvantage in a dogfight.
[19:14] Kaz
    Well, I certainly hadn't thought of that one.
[19:16] R
    But it should be difficult
    to keep flying upside-down.
[19:21] Kaz
    Yeah.
[19:22] Kaz
    Which is why this could be the turning point.
[19:24] A
    Misaki-chan!
[19:26] Mi
    I'm not done yet!
[19:29] H
    Nice, Misaki!
[19:30] H
    Stay on the attack!
[19:32] Mi
    Easy for you to say!
[19:37] Ho
    Wow! Tobisawa is continuously attacking
    Inui while flying upside-down!
[19:44] Mi
    I'm gonna go on the attack and stay there!
[19:49] Ir
    Saki?
[19:56] Mad
    That's...
[19:57] Kaz
    Oh?
[20:02] G
    Point to Tobisawa! 1-1!
[20:05] Mas
    You're the best, Misaki-senpai!
[20:08] A
    She's evened the score!
[20:09] Ho
    That was the Cobra!
[20:10] Ho
    Tobisawa pulled off the Cobra from
    an upside-down position to score!
[20:15] Ir
    Saki!
[20:16] Ir
    What do you think you're doing?
[20:17] Ir
    There's no place for such
    unsightly play in our FC!
[20:20] Sa
    Yes, Irina.
[20:23] Mi
    I'm fighting with everything I've got!
[20:29] Mi
    What about you,
[20:31] Mi
    Inui-san?!
[20:33] Sa
    Everything...
[20:43] Sa
    What is this feeling?
[20:46] Sa
    She refuses to run and keeps coming at me.
[20:50] Sa
    My body's burning up.
[20:53] Sa
    I want to beat her.
[20:57] Sa
    I want to beat her in a dogfight.
[21:01] Sa
    Sorry, Irina.
[21:09] G
    Point to Inui!
[21:15] Mi
    She's good at dogfighting, too!
[21:17] H
    Ten seconds left!
[21:19] Mi
    This is scary,
[21:20] ---
    but...
[21:27] Mi
    it's so much fun!
[21:32] G
    This match is over!
[21:37] A
    You're so cool, Misaki-chan!
[21:48] Mi
    I couldn't beat her.
[21:53] H
    Misaki...
[22:00] Ir
    I've never tasted such a
    repulsive victory before.
