    Will Inui's speed prove
    effective against Shindo?
[00:36] Mas
    Really, Asuka-senpai was so amazing!
[00:40] Mas
    For a moment, I actually
    thought she might win!
[00:43] Mi
    Yeah...
[00:46] Mas
    You were so close, too, Misaki-senpai!
[00:49] Mas
    The two of you were seriously awesome!
[00:54] Mi
    Yeah, I guess.
[00:57] Mi
    I did my best.
[01:00] Mi
    I put up a great fight against Shindo-san.

     "Sting Before You're Stung!"
[02:45] Ir
    Good day, madam.
[02:48] Ir
    It's a honor to meet you.
[02:50] Ir
    My name is Irina Avalon.
[02:54] Aoi
    You're from Kairyou, right?
[02:56] Ir
    Yes.
[02:57] Ir
    Second of Inui Saki.
[03:00] Aoi
    So you're the one who coached her?
[03:02] Ir
    Yes.
[03:04] Ir
    Saki and I started FC after being
    inspired by Kagami Aoi.
[03:12] Ir
    Please watch the next match.
[03:14] Ir
    We will have something interesting in store.
[03:24] G
    That match was incredible!
[03:26] G
    I'd never seen anyone do consecutive
    air kick turns before!
[03:29] G
    How do you time them?
[03:31] G
    How do you normally train?
[03:33] G
    Are you really a beginner?
[03:36] A
    Er...
[03:37] Mad
    Wow, she's suddenly the center of attention.
[03:40] R
    But of course. She did make Captain Shindo
    get serious, if only for a moment.
[03:46] Mas
    I know, right?
[03:47] Mad
    Why are you puffing your chest out?
[03:55] H
    Hard luck, Misaki.
[03:59] H
    The manner in which you took
    it to a dogfight was great.
[04:02] H
    One more push might've changed everything.
[04:08] Mi
    He's right, isn't he?
[04:11] Mi
    Yeah.
[04:15] PA
    The final will begin shortly.
[04:32] G
    On your marks...
[04:36] G
    Set!
[04:40] Ho
    The final match has just begun!
[04:42] Ho
    A conventional start, with Inui
    making a beeline for the buoy
[04:44] Ho
    and Shindo taking a shortcut
    to the second line.
[04:47] Mas
    Inui-san really is crazy quick.
[04:49] Mas
    There's no telling how this match will go.
[04:52] Mi
    Well, I think it's gonna
    be a one-sided contest.
[04:55] Mad
    Really?
[04:57] Mi
    I mean, Inui's speed is the only
    thing she's got going for her.
[05:00] Mi
    Shindo-san should be able
    to brush her off with ease.
[05:05] G
    Point to Inui! 0-1!
[05:08] Ho
    Inui grabs the initiative
    with the first point.
[05:10] Ho
    Now, how will the defending champion respond?
[05:20] Oko
    Talk about fast, yeesh.
[05:23] Mayu
    She got me with that sudden elevation, too.
[05:33] G
    Point to Shindo!
[05:35] Ho
    That didn't take long. Shindo
    has already evened the score.
[05:41] G
    Point to Shindo! 2-1!
[05:43] Sh
    That's the King for you.
[05:44] ---
    He's showing off his royal spirit and muscles.
[05:46] A
    He took the lead from behind!
[05:49] R
    Way to go, Captain!
[05:50] R
    Show them that Takafuji isn't
    called a powerhouse for nothing!
[05:57] Ho
    Oh man, they're way up in the sky!
[05:59] Ho
    The two of them have chased each other
    to quite an unbelievable altitude!
[06:03] Mad
    Whoa, they're more than 200 meters high now.
[06:06] Mas
    Are they gonna race into space?
[06:08] Mad
    Quit spacing out.
[06:12] Ir
    Now, Saki.
[06:14] Sa
    Okay, Irina.
[06:25] Ho
    Inui's going after the third buoy,
[06:28] ---
    but Shindo keeps blocking her path.
[06:30] Ho
    Can she get past him and take the buoy,
[06:32] ---
    or will Shindo turn this into a dogfight?
[06:36] Mas
    Right now, Shindo-san's
    in the driver's seat.
[06:39] Mi
    Yeah. He's heading her off every time.
[06:43] A
    Amazing.
[06:45] Mi
    Right? Nothing less from Shindo-san.
[06:47] A
    You're wrong.
[06:49] Mi
    What do you mean?
[06:51] A
    Inui-san's the one who's amazing.
[06:54] Mi
    No way. He's in the lead.
[06:57] Mi
    And he keeps cutting her off before
    she can get to the third buoy.
[07:01] A
    That's just because she's forcing him to.
[07:04] Mi
    What the hell?
[07:06] Aoi
    Kurashina's right.
[07:09] H
    Although Shindo-san may be heading her off,
[07:12] H
    Inui's countering that with a
    steady and deliberate descent.
[07:15] H
    If he continues trying to block her path...
[07:18] Aoi
    ...he'll eventually be
    forced down to the surface.
[07:21] Aoi
    And if that happens, he'll
    be at a clear disadvantage.
[07:24] Mi
    M-Maybe it's just a coincidence?
[07:25] Mi
    It could've just turned out that way
    while he was chasing her around.
[07:29] H
    Knowing Shindo-san, that's impossible.
[07:34] Mad
    L-Look at him...
[07:37] Mi
    It can't be.
[07:42] R
    C-Captain?!
[07:43] Ho
    Shindo seemed to have Inui under control,
[07:47] Ho
    but he gave up the fight and
    moved on to the next line!
[07:50] Mi
    He bailed?
[07:53] G
    Point to Inui! 2-2!
[07:56] Ho
    Now the score is tied!
[08:01] Ho
    Oh, are they having another race to the top?
[08:05] Mi
    Not this again!
[08:07] Ir
    Saki...
[08:08] Sa
    Okay, Irina.
[08:17] R
    It's the second line all over again.
[08:19] Ri
    He's being steered downwards.
[08:22] H
    This doesn't look good.
[08:23] H
    He's being utterly controlled.
[08:25] Mi
    Controlled?
[08:27] H
    Inui never planned on taking
    the buoys or dogfighting.
[08:31] H
    The only thing on her mind was to
    control and dominate her opponent!
[08:35] Mi
    "Dominate"? What's that even supposed to mean?
[08:37] Mi
    Isn't Flying Circus all about touching
    the buoys or your opponent's back?
[08:46] R
    Captain! At this rate, you'll be
    helpless to fend off another point!
[08:57] Ho
    A vertical air kick turn to turn the tide!
[09:00] Mi
    Now he can get above...
[09:06] Aoi
    If FC were to be dominated by tactics counter to the spirit of the game,
[09:10] Aoi
    its evolution would crash headlong into a brick wall
[09:13] Aoi
    and it would meet its demise as a major sport.
[09:17] Aoi
    That's why I decided to seal
    away that tactic forevermore.
[09:35] Mi
    He's using the recoil to take the buoy!
[09:37] Mi
    He's got this!
[09:39] Ir
    End it, Saki.
[09:41] Sa
    Okay, Irina.
[09:57] G
    This match is over!
[09:58] G
    Inui wins!
[10:02] Ho
    In what can only be called
    a bizarre end to the final,
[10:05] Ho
    Inui Saki emerges victorious!
[10:08] Ho
    She has taken out reigning champion
    Shindo in an upset for the ages!
[10:16] Mi
    No way, Shindo-san...
[10:19] A
    Incredible!
[10:22] Mi
    Asuka?
[10:24] A
    Wasn't that simply incredible?
[10:27] A
    So this is Flying Circus, too.
[10:31] Mi
    How can she be beaming like
    that after what we saw?
[10:37] Mi
    I...
[10:38] Mi
    I just don't understand.

    Sheesh...

    The meat should be ready soon.
[13:16] H
    Yeah.
[13:17] H
    Oh, Madoka. Could you get everyone?
[13:20] Mad
    Sure!
[13:21] Ri
    I'm waiting for meat!
[13:22] H
    Well, wait just a bit longer.
[13:26] A
    The meat is great too,
[13:28] ---
    but so's the shrimp and squid.
[13:30] Mad
    We owe Satouin-san big time.
[13:33] Ri
    Yeah.
[13:34] Ri
    Since she couldn't make it,
[13:36] ---
    she had the Satou Group send
    us the best seafood possible.
[13:40] Mas
    "Satou Group"...?
[13:42] Mad
    Always the enigma, that Satouin-san.
[13:45] H
    Thank you for coming too, Shirase-san.
    You even brought us meat.
[13:48] Haruki
    You guys put up a great fight
    in the summer tournament.
[13:51] Haruki
    This is the least we could
    do to show our appreciation.
[13:54] Haruki
    Besides...
[13:55] Imo
    We were told today was an important day.
[13:59] Mad
    "Important...
[14:01] Mas
    ...day"?

    Today, I want to inform
    you of a major decision
[14:06] ---
    concerning Kunahama High's FC team.
[14:10] Sh
    I'm a lucky, lucky man.
[14:12] Sh
    After spending so long alone,
[14:13] Sh
    I got to participate in the
    tournament with you guys,
[14:15] ---
    and even had a decent showing.
[14:16] Sh
    However, my dream of victory in the
    regionals has yet to be fulfilled!
[14:21] Sh
    So I want you guys to make it come true.
[14:27] A
    Understood!
[14:29] A
    I want to make the captain's dream come true!
[14:32] Mas
    Knowing you, Asuka-senpai,
    you could actually win!
[14:36] Haruki
    After how well you guys did
    in the summer tournament,
[14:38] Haruki
    it might not be a mere pipe dream.
[14:41] Imo
    I agree.
[14:43] Mad
    In that case, please stay on as coach
    until the end of the fall tournament.
[14:47] H
    O-Okay...
[14:48] A
    All right! Let's all win together!
[14:52] H
    Sure.
[14:53] H
    Guys...

    Although practice might get tough
    as the fall tournament draws closer,
[14:58] H
    always have fun flying.
[15:00] H
    Please don't forget that.
[15:02] A
    Got it!
[15:03] Sh
    Shall we have Kurashina
    succeed me as captain, then?
[15:07] A
    Sir, I have a question!
[15:09] Sh
    Okay, shoot.
[15:10] A
    What does a captain do?
[15:14] Sh
    Anybody else?
[15:18] Mad
    You leave me no choice!
[15:20] Mad
    I graciously volunteer
    to be the next captain.
[15:26] Mad
    I'm taking over as main heroine!
[15:30] Sh
    All in favor of Madoka taking
    over as captain, say, "Aye."
[15:32] All
    Aye...
[15:33] Mad
    H-Hey! Aren't you guys being
    a bit too blasé about this?
[15:36] Mad
    Aren't these things supposed
    to be done with more fanfare?
[15:39] Mas
    Please get me some meat, new Captain.
[15:41] A
    Me too, please.
[15:42] Mad
    Apathetic! Way too apathetic!

[17:36] TV
    This year's Flying Circus Regional
    Qualifiers caused quite the stir
[17:38] TV
    as the defending champion was defeated
    by a player making her first appearance.
[17:43] TV
    She carried that momentum into the All-Japans as well, emerging victorious
[17:46] TV
    and attracting widespread attention!
[17:47] Girl
    Did you hear about that?
[17:48] Girl
    Apparently Shindo-senpai lost to a newcomer.
[17:51] Girl
    For real? I don't believe it!
[17:53] Girl
    I heard that she goes to Kairyou Academy.
[17:58] Girl
    I didn't know Kairyou had such a wunderkind.
[18:06] Mi
    Ugh, it's raining.

    This isn't gonna let up anytime soon.
[18:32] Kaz
    It's you.
[18:42] Kaz
    First time since the summer tourney, huh?
[18:45] Mi
    Yes.
[18:47] Kaz
    Here shopping?
[18:49] Mi
    Yeah, since summer break's ending and all.
[18:52] Kaz
    Summer break?
[18:53] Kaz
    Oh, right. It's summer break right now.
[18:57] Mi
    Did you come here to shop too?
[19:00] Kaz
    Yeah, to buy running gear
    and some supplements.
[19:03] Mi
    Running gear?
[19:05] Mi
    Don't tell me you're switching
    to track and field.
[19:09] Kaz
    No way.
[19:10] Kaz
    It's for FC, of course.
[19:12] Mi
    For FC?
[19:14] Kaz
    College players are way ahead
    of us in terms of physique.
[19:19] Kaz
    So I figured I should build up
    my body by the time I graduate.
[19:31] Mi
    How?
[19:34] Mi
    How can you be that positive?
[19:37] Mi
    After how you lost...
[19:42] Mi
    I'm sorry! That was rude of me!
[19:45] Kaz
    Nah, it's okay.
[19:47] Kaz
    That match did come as a shock to me, too.
[19:51] Kaz
    I got scared, as it felt like everything
    I'd done had been dismissed out of hand.
[19:54] Mi
    If you got scared, then why?
[19:57] Kaz
    Because the fear of losing something
    shows that you enjoy it.
[20:03] Kaz
    That match made me realize
    that FC is a sport in which
[20:07] Kaz
    a play style that was effective up to
    last year could stop working at any moment—
[20:11] Kaz
    a sport in which everything can change overnight.
[20:14] Kaz
    And being able to experience that
    first-hand is awesome, don't you think?
[20:20] Kaz
    Change can be scary.
[20:21] Kaz
    But if you can overcome that,
[20:23] ---
    you can have a whole lot of fun.
[20:24] Mi
    Is that really fun?
[20:28] Kaz
    If I ever stop finding it fun,
[20:30] Kaz
    I'll quit.
[20:34] Mi
    Right...
[20:51] Kaz
    Aren't you getting on?
[20:53] Mi
    Oh, I just remembered
    something else I had to buy.
