    Welcome to the All-Japan Flying

    of the West Kyushu qualifiers,
[00:08] Ho

[00:14] Ho
    Nobody could've predicted Kurashina
    making it all the way to the final.
[00:20] Ho
    Who knows what this match
    has in store for us?
[00:23] A
    I'll give it my all!
[00:31] Ir
    Saki...
[00:33] Ir
    I will not stand for another
    game like the semifinal.
[00:37] Ir
    You must fly with grace
    and silence your opponent.
[00:41] Sa
    I know.
[00:43] Sa
    I'll put on a perfect display of our FC.
[00:50] Sa
    An absolutely perfect one.
[00:53] A
    Let's do this.
[00:56] A
    Fly!
[01:06] A
    Let's have a good game, Inui-san.
[01:10] A
    I couldn't have made it this
    far without losing to you.
[01:15] A
    My weak, no-good self
[01:17] A
    got plunged into the fires of hell,
    and then rose from the ashes.
[01:21] A
    Like in Zephyrion, you know?
[01:23] Sa
    No, I don't.
[01:24] A
    Figures.
[01:27] A
    Sorry about that.
[01:29] Sa
    This match
[01:30] Sa
    won't go anything like the
    one against the zipzap girl.
[01:33] Sa
    You'd best be ready.
[01:36] A
    I understand.
[01:37] A
    I am ready to have a blast.
[01:39] Sa
    "Have a blast"?
[01:41] A
    Yeah.
[01:42] A
    I mean...
[01:44] A
    Flying is just so much fun.
[01:46] A
    You enjoy it too, don't you?
[01:50] G
    On your marks...
[01:57] G
    Set!
SIGN    Episode Twelve:
     "Let's... Keep Flying!!"
[03:34] Ho
    Here we go. The final is underway.
[03:36] Ho
    Both players are start off
    using low yo-yos to speed up.
[03:39] Ho
    Inui, a speeder, has pulled ahead!
[03:41] Mi
    Damn, she's quick.
[03:42] Mas
    She overtook Asuka-senpai!
[03:43] A
    Inui-san really is quick.
[03:45] H
    Don't hold back, Asuka.
[03:47] H
    Push the pedal to the metal
    right from the get-go!
[03:48] A
    Got it!
[03:53] Ar
    Whoa! Three straight Sonic Boosts!
[03:56] Ga
    She's being awfully aggressive
    this early in the game.
[03:58] Ir
    Saki. Shortcut.
[04:00] Sa
    Okay.
[04:04] G
    Point to Kurashina! 1-0!
[04:06] Ho
    For the first time this tournament, Inui
    has lost the race to the second buoy!
[04:10] A
    I have the upper hand now!
[04:11] Mi
    This takes the Birdcage out of the picture!
[04:14] Kaz
    That's so like Kurashina-kun.
[04:16] H
    Asuka! Keep going and slip past her!
[04:18] Ir
    No, you won't.
[04:37] Ir
    Is that...
[04:38] Mas
    There it is!
[04:39] Mad
    Pentagram Force!
[04:40] Ho
    Oh, my! Her maneuvers are drawing
    a five-pointed star in the sky!
[04:45] Ho
    It's a pentagram!
[04:47] Ri
    She modified the Delta Force?
[04:49] R
    Pentagram... Force...
[04:52] R
    What an awesome name!
[04:53] Ri
    That's what you noticed?
[04:55] Mi
    Way to go in guns blazing, Asuka.
[04:58] Mas
    She practiced this a whole lot!
[05:00] Mad
    Inui-san stopped!
[05:03] Sa
    This move...
[05:04] A
    I came up with it so I could
    face you on equal footing.
[05:07] Ir
    Saki...
[05:08] Ir
    If we figure out the pattern,
    we can predict where she'll go.
[05:10] Ir
    Stay calm.
[05:11] Ir
    Okay, Irina.
[05:14] Ir
    Behind you.
[05:19] Sa
    Now we're tie—
[05:24] G
    Point to Kurashina! 2-0!
[05:27] Sh
    That's it, Kurashina! That's the spirit!
[05:30] Ir
    Use the recoil to take the third buoy.
[05:32] Sa
    Okay.
[05:33] Ho
    Kurashina has amazingly taken
    a two-point lead over Inui!
[05:36] Ho
    But Inui instantly made a
    beeline for the next buoy!
[05:39] H
    They didn't dwell on it at all. Impressive.
[05:41] H
    Take a shortcut to the third line!
[05:43] A
    Got it!
[05:46] G
    Point to Inui! 2-1!
[05:49] Ir
    Okay, Saki.
[05:50] Ir
    Get your payback on the third line.
[05:53] Ir
    Okay.
[05:56] Ir
    It's my turn now.
[05:58] H
    Above you!
[06:08] Mas
    She's evading all her attacks by a whisker!
[06:09] Mi
    Yeah.
[06:18] Sa
    It's not like the last time I played her.
[06:21] Sa
    She's enjoying this?
[06:32] Loli
    W-Wow...
[06:34] Haruki
    All that practice is paying off.
[06:36] Haruki
    Those three-on-one drills
    helped prepare her for this.
[06:39] Ho
    Inui's unleashing a barrage of attacks,
    but Kurashina's dodging all of them!
[06:44] H
    That's the way, Asuka!
[06:46] H
    Stay alert!
[06:47] A
    I know!
[06:50] A
    Misaki-chan.
[06:52] A
    Mashiro-chan.
[06:53] A
    Madoka-chan.
[06:55] A
    Captain.
[06:56] A
    Rika-chan.
[06:57] A
    Satouin-san.
[06:58] A
    Shindo-san.
[07:00] A
    And Kagami-sensei...
[07:03] A
    And Coach!
[07:04] Sa
    She evaded every last one...
[07:07] Ir
    Above you, Saki!
[07:11] A
    I'm going to hit her with all
    the hopes you entrusted to me!
[07:15] A
    Hyper...
[07:17] A
    Low Yo-Yo!
[07:20] G
    Point to Kurashina! 3-1!
[07:23] Ho
    She scored! That's Kurashina's third point!
[07:29] A
    Nailed it!
[07:36] H
    There are three minutes left in the game.
[07:38] H
    Three minutes is all that stands
    between Asuka and victory!
[07:42] Ir
    Saki.
[07:44] Ir
    Turn off your balancer.
[07:45] Sa
    Okay.
[07:46] Sa
    Phase first...
[07:47] Sa
    Fifty percent unl—
[07:48] Ir
    No.
[07:49] Ir
    One-hundred percent unlock.
[07:53] Sa
    Got it.
[07:55] A
    Inui-san?
[07:57] Sa
    Agravain...
[07:59] Sa
    Phase second...
[08:04] Mi
    What the hell is that?
[08:08] Sa
    Complete balancer
[08:09] ---
    unlock.
[08:11] A
    Inui-san...
[08:13] Ir
    It is time for silence to descend upon us!
[08:20] H
    She tweaked the balancer on her Grav-Shoes?!
[08:24] H
    No...
[08:25] H
    She cut it off completely!
[08:27] Sis
    Can you even do that in-flight?
[08:30] Haruki
    Avalon!
[08:32] Haruki
    They entered the market only a few years ago,
[08:35] Haruki
    but they've already developed
    that kind of technology?
[08:37] Mas
    What's going on?
[08:38] Aoi
    Turning off the balancer,
    which acts as a safety device,
[08:43] Aoi
    would make you unable to maintain
    your balance in mid-air.
[08:48] H
    But control your Grav-Shoes in that state,
[08:50] H
    and you'll be able to use them
    to their fullest capability.
[09:00] Aoi
    I can't believe it's possible
    to control them that perfectly.
[09:03] Sh
    She must have extraordinary
    stamina and reflexes.
[09:06] H
    Asuka!
[09:07] H
    Use Sonic Boost to put
    some daylight between you!
[09:09] H
    And then go for the buoy!
[09:11] A
    Okay!
[09:13] Sa
    Not on my watch.
[09:17] G
    Point to Inui!
[09:20] G
    Point to Inui! 3-3!
[09:23] Sa
    Now we're tied.
[09:27] Ir
    That's enough, Saki.
[09:29] Ir
    Proceed to Greensleeves.
[09:32] Ir
    Show them how beautiful you can be.
[09:47] Ho
    Th-This is...
[09:49] Mad
    What in the world is that move?
[09:52] ---
    Asuka...
[09:53] H
    Do something, anything to get free!
[09:55] Ir
    Resistance is futile.
[09:56] Ir
    That's the perfect closed world
     we created together with Avalon.
[10:02] Ir
    Listen to the pin-drop silence that
    has befallen the entire venue.
[10:05] Ir
    This is Avalon's symphony!
[10:24] G
    Time's up!
[10:25] Ho
    T-Time has run out!
[10:27] Ho
    Since the match has ended in a 3-3 draw,
[10:30] Ho
    we will now have a ten-minute break,
[10:31] Ho
    and then extra time!
[10:39] Ir
    Extra time after a draw in regulation...
[10:43] Ir
    The finale to our FC is upon us.
[10:46] Ir
    A chance like this does
    not come around often,
[10:48] Ir
    so we arranged a little
    curtain call of sorts.
[10:51] Ir
    Five minutes in which we toy
    with our powerless opponent.
[10:55] Ir
    Five minutes of perfect silence and beauty.
[11:07] h
    Asuka!
[11:08] Mi
    Asuka!
[11:09] Mas
    Asuka-senpai!
[11:10] Mad
    Asuka-chan!
[11:14] Sis
    What's wrong, Brother?
[11:16] Haruki
    Those "Agravain" Grav-Shoes...
[11:19] Haruki
    Their balancer parameters can be
    freely tweaked during a match, huh?
[11:24] Kaz
    And then we have Inui-kun, who
    has the ability to control
[11:27] ---
    those Grav-Shoes at will.
[11:30] Haruki
    Oh, Shindo-kun.
[11:34] Haruki
    So even the King of Kings doesn't
    have a solution to this problem?
[11:37] Kaz
    Yes, for now.
[11:39] Kaz
    As much as I hate to admit it.
[11:42] Sis
    But Kurashina-san...
[11:45] Sis
    I think Kurashina-san is amazing, too.
[11:51] Kaz
    Kurashina-kun?
[11:53] Kaz
    Yeah.
[11:54] Kaz
    We still don't know the
    limits of her ability.
[11:57] Kaz
    She might still have major
    potential hidden away.
[12:01] Haruki
    Yeah.
[12:03] Haruki
    She might show us something
    even more entertaining.
[12:14] Ir
    Marvelous.
[12:16] Ir
    You are all right, yes?
[12:19] Ir
    Things don't look all right over there, though.
[12:22] Ir
    She doesn't seem likely to last
    the five minutes of extra time.
[12:27] Sa
    Just a bit more...
[12:30] Sa
    I wish I could've flown
    with her just a bit more.
[12:33] Sa
    With Kurashina Asuka.
[12:36] Ir
    Saki?
[12:42] Mi
    Asuka.
[12:43] Mas
    Do you have any HP left, Asuka-senpai?
[12:46] A
    Amazing.
[12:48] A
    It's incredible she can fly so freely
    after turning off her balancer.
[12:52] A
    Inui-san keeps soaring ever higher.
[12:57] A
    This match is so much fun!
[13:00] H
    Asuka...
[13:03] A
    Coach.
[13:04] H
    What is it?
[13:05] A
    I want to turn off my balancer, too.
[13:08] Mad
    That's reckless!
[13:10] Mas
    Don't you remember how you couldn't fly
    at all the last time you tried that?
[13:14] Sh
    Yeah!
[13:15] H
    Besides, your Grav-Shoes
    aren't like Avalon's.
[13:19] H
    You can't calibrate them mid-flight.
[13:21] H
    Once you turn the balancer
    off, there's no going back.
[13:23] H
    Do you still want to?
[13:25] A
    I don't want this to be the end!
[13:27] A
    I want to keep flying with Inui-san!
[13:32] A
    Please let me, Coach!
[13:34] A
    I don't care if I get burned to ashes!
[13:36] Mas
    We care!
[13:38] Mas
    You're not Zephyrion, you know.
[13:40] Mi
    But...
[13:43] Mi
    She might just become the
    Master of the Heavens.
[13:45] Mas
    Not you too, Misaki-senpai!
[13:49] Mas
    Let's trust Asuka on this, Masaya.
[13:52] Mas
    I'm sure she'll be fine.
[13:56] H
    Got it.
[13:57] H
    I'll leave everything to Asuka.
[13:59] Mad
    I will, too!
[14:01] Mi
    I'm counting on you, Asuka.
[14:03] Mas
    M-Me, too!
[14:05] A
    Okay!
[14:06] Sh
    Me three, Kurashina!
[14:08] A
    Got it!
[14:11] Ir
    Did you feel it?
[14:14] Ir
    Our FC, and the perfect
    silence it brings about?
[14:19] Ir
    It was the same back then.
[14:21] Ir
    Accompanying the beautiful
    spectacle you put on
[14:23] Ir
    was a deafening silence in the air.
[14:26] Aoi
    That was just fear.
[14:31] Aoi
    Two athletes putting their skills to
    the test, competing against each other,
[14:35] Aoi
    and bringing joy to both the
    players and the audience...
[14:38] Aoi
    That's what the sport of
    Flying Circus is all about.
[14:41] Aoi
    If it were simply about overwhelming
    one's opponent to win,
[14:45] Aoi
    its name wouldn't include the word "Circus."
[14:49] Ir
    I can't wait to see whether you can say
    the same thing after extra time ends.
[14:55] PA
    The extra time period in the
    final will begin shortly.
[14:59] Ho
    Here we go.
[15:00] Ho
    This is the first time in this tournament
    that a match has gone into extra time.
[15:03] Ho
    Extra time will last five minutes.
[15:05] Ho
    If a winner isn't decided within
    that time, we'll go to sudden death!
[15:09] Ir
    You didn't run away, eh?
[15:11] Ir
    I applaud your courage.
[15:23] A
    Inui-san.
[15:25] A
    I'll fly with you all the
    way this time, for sure.
[15:29] G
    On your marks!
[15:33] G
    Set!
[15:40] H
    Asuka!
[15:43] Ir
    She doesn't even have the energy
    to fly straight anymore.
[15:47] Sa
    No.
[15:51] [SONG] Sign
    Two silhouettes soared through the skies
[15:53] Ir
    Her Grav-Shoes' wings...
[15:56] Sa
    Don't tell me you turned off...
[15:58] [SONG] Sign
    Spreading the wings on their backs wide
[15:58] A
    ...the balancer, yes.
[16:00] A
    So I could fly with you.
[16:02] Ir
    What?
[16:03] Ir
    There's no way you can stay in control!
[16:05] A
    Here I go.
[16:08] Mi
    Go!
[16:12] G
    Point to Kurashina!
[16:13] Sa
    She actually has her shoes under control?
[16:15] Ir
    Unbelievable.
[16:18] H
    Go straight for the third buoy!
[16:19] A
    Got it!
[16:20] R
    Mind-boggling. There's no
    other way to describe this.
[16:23] Ir
    Saki! Go after her right now!
[16:26] Sa
    Okay!
[16:28] [SONG] Sign
    Thinking about it won't get me anywhere
[16:31] [SONG] Sign
    I know it can't go on like this
[16:33] Ir
    Take a shortcut, Saki!
[16:34] Sa
    Okay!
[16:38] G
    Point to Kurashina! 5-3!
[16:40] Ho
    Holy cow! This is beyond unbelievable!
[16:40] [SONG] Sign
    Does having more obstacles make one
[16:43] Ho
    In a matter of seconds, Kurashina
    got her Grav-Shoes under control
[16:43] [SONG] Sign
    Strive even harder? Round and Dream
[16:47] Ho
    and took a two-point lead over Inui!
[16:51] Mi
    You can do this, Asuka!
[16:52] [SONG] Sign
    Let's race
[16:53] Mas
    You're amazing!
[16:54] R
    This has turned into one crazy match.
[16:58] Ri
    It really has.
[16:59] [SONG] Sign
    To the vapor trail
[16:59] Kaz
    With this, the sport of
    FC will evolve once again.
[17:03] Aoi
    Players will be freed from
    the shackles of balancers.
[17:03] [SONG] Sign
    Beyond the blue
[17:06] [SONG] Sign
    You soared through the skies
    with a smile on your face
[17:07] Aoi
    It's the dawn of a new era.
[17:12] Ir
    Now, Saki!
[17:13] [SONG] Sign
    That's all I need to fly
    higher and farther than ever
[17:14] Ir
    Use Greensleeves again to pin her down!
[17:18] Ir
    Saki?
[17:18] [SONG] Sign
    The summer breeze
[17:19] Ir
    What's the matter?
[17:21] [SONG] Sign
    Carries the scent of the sea
    and all your voices to me
[17:25] Sa
    What's this feeling?
[17:26] Sa
    It's the same as back then.
[17:27] [SONG] Sign
    And gives me the wings
    of courage I need to fly
[17:29] Sa
    It feels like my body's burning up again.
[17:32] A
    Inui-san!
[17:35] A
    Let's have a blast.
[17:38] Sa
    "Have a blast"?
[17:41] Sa
    I don't know how.
[17:42] A
    Let me show you how, then!
[17:43] [SONG] Sign
    Your softly spoken words
[17:46] [SONG] Sign
    And your fleeting gaze
[17:54] G
    Point to Inui!
[17:55] [SONG] Sign
    Make me want more
[17:56] G
    5-4!
[17:58] Ir
    Saki?
[17:58] [SONG] Sign
    Please keep your eyes on me
[18:00] Mi
    Inui-san's expression changed?
[18:02] Mas
    She seems full of life!
[18:07] [SONG] Sign
    Let's fight
[18:07] G
    Point to Kurashina!
[18:09] G
    6-4!
[18:10] Mad
    Asuka-chan seems to be having so much fun.
[18:13] H
    Yeah.
[18:14] [SONG] Sign
    Wearing our hearts on our sleeves
[18:15] A
    Inui-san...
[18:17] A
    Let's soar even higher...
[18:18] [SONG] Sign
    Beyond the blue
[18:19] A
    Together!
[18:21] [SONG] Sign
    You soar through the skies
    with a smile on your face
[18:24] Sa
    Yeah.
[18:28] [SONG] Sign
    That's all I need to fly
    higher and farther today
[18:30] Ir
    I've never seen Saki beaming
    like that during a match before.
[18:33] [SONG] Sign
    As a new day dawns upon us
[18:34] G
    Point to Inui!
[18:35] G
    6-5!
[18:36] [SONG] Sign
    Show me once again
[18:42] [SONG] Sign
    The wings of courage I need to fly
[18:44] G
    Point to Inui!
[18:46] G
    6-6!
[18:47] Ho
    We're all tied up!
[18:49] Ho
    Not long left to go now in extra time!
[19:06] Mas
    What is that?
[19:10] [SONG] Sign
    Coming to a standstill
[19:11] Ir
    I...
[19:13] Sis
    So pretty.
[19:15] Haruki
    Yeah.
[19:16] R
    How dazzling.
[19:17] [SONG] Sign
    I see above me a sky so high
[19:18] Ri
    Yeah. I can't take my eyes off it.
[19:22] H
    Their contrails...
[19:22] [SONG] Sign
    If we can't go it alone
[19:24] Ir
    How...
[19:27] Ir
    How very unsightly.
[19:28] [SONG] Sign
    Let's go together
[19:29] Ir
    They're merely chasing
    after each other endlessly
[19:31] Ir
    and competing to see who's better.
[19:33] [SONG] Sign
    Wings on the sky
[19:35] Ir
    But still...
[19:37] Ir
    It's so,
[19:39] [SONG] Sign
    You soared through the skies
    with a smile on your face
[19:40] Ir
    so very beautiful.
[19:45] Ho
    Th-This sight is beyond
    anyone's wildest imagination,
[19:45] [SONG] Sign
    That's all I need to fly
    higher and farther than ever
[19:49] Ho
    so I hope you'll forgive me
    for being speechless there,
[19:51] Ho
    but the five minutes of extra
    time have already passed!
[19:52] [SONG] Sign
    The summer breeze
[19:54] Ho
    Now, whoever scores the next point wins!
[19:54] [SONG] Sign
    Carries the scent of the sea
    and all your voices to me
[20:00] [SONG] Sign
    And gives me the wings...
[20:06] H
    She lost control?!
[20:10] Mi
    Inui's gonna touch her back!
[20:11] A
    Was it no good after all?
[20:14] A
    No good?
[20:17] A
    No...
[20:22] A
    It's not!
[20:32] Ho
    P-Point to Kurashina!
[20:35] Ho
    Kurashina wins, 7-6!
[20:48] ---
    Misaki-chan?
[20:49] Mi
    What's wrong with you? You went and won!
[20:53] Mi
    Congratulations, champion!
[20:56] A
    Champion...
[20:59] A
    Thank you so—
[21:05] Sh
    Kurashina!
[21:07] Sh
    Thank you for fulfilling my dream!
[21:09] Mad
    You're crying too much, Bro.
[21:15] Aoi
    You won, huh?
[21:16] H
    Yeah,
[21:18] ---
    we won.
[21:20] H
    But, more importantly,
[21:23] H
    it was so much fun!
[21:29] Ir
    I concede.
[21:31] Ir
    All these years, I've wanted your
    approval because I admired you.
[21:37] Ir
    But perhaps I went about it the wrong way.
[21:40] Aoi
    That's not true.
[21:42] Aoi
    I always thought I'd made a huge mistake.
[21:47] Aoi
    But now that I know it played a big
    part in broadening FC's horizons,
[21:50] Aoi
    a weight's been lifted off my shoulders.
[21:57] Ir
    I think I understand the significance
    of the word "Circus" a little now.
[22:03] Ir
    Flying Circus is a fun sport that brings
    joy to people's hearts, isn't it?
[22:10] H
    Did you have fun?
[22:12] Ir
    I sure did.
[22:14] Ir
    As much as I hate to admit it.
