pushing yourself to the limit

for one brief flash of glory.
[01:13] Futa
This was one such blazing hot summer.
[01:27] Futa
It's over...

We're heading out, Futaba.
[01:48] Futa
Three straight years on the bench.
[02:03] Futa
I-Is that some kind of ritual?

Guys.
[02:08] Shi
It's time.
[02:09] Shi
Have fun out there, like always.

Watari, watch your finishing pose.
[02:18] Wat
Yah.
[02:19] Kizu
And your handstand posture, Onagawa.
[02:21] Ona
No worries there.
[02:22] Wata
Time to show our stuff.

Don't just show it. Keep it aligned.

Why is their score so low?

Actually, that's high.
[07:43] Mi
To score fifteen with only four members...
[07:46] Mashi
Ao High, huh? Not bad at all.
[07:49] Futa
B-But they lost, didn't they?
[07:51] Mashi
First time watching men's rhythmic gymnastics?
[07:53] Futa
Y-Yes...
[07:55] Mashi
Men's rhythmic gymnastics groups
are supposed to have six people.
[07:59] Mashi
You can compete with as few as four,
[08:01] Mashi
but you're docked a point and a half
for each missing member.
[08:04] Futa
Is that a lot?
[08:06] Mashi
Well, a perfect score would be twenty.
[08:09] Mi
Men's rhythmic gymnastics
routines are graded by deductions.
[08:12] Mi
You start with max points
and lose some for each mistake.
[08:15] Futa
So for them to still score over fifteen...

looked perfectly proper

you dropped your elbows.

You were unsteady in two movements

So Misato-kun's our new recruit,

I'm Shusaku Shida, the men's

[17:25] Kura
I'm the manager. Second-year Asao Kurikoma.
[17:28] Shi
A pleasure to meet you both.
[17:30] All
One, two! One, two! One, two! One, two!
[17:43] Futa
These are interesting warm-up exercises...
[17:46] Chi
They're isolation stretches.
[17:49] Chi
You're pretty flexible, you know?
[17:50] Futa
Am I?
[17:51] Chi
Yeah. You're a natural
for rhythmic gymnastics.
[17:56] Chi
Any previous sports experience?
[17:57] Futa
A little swimming, soccer, and baseball.
[18:00] Chi
That's perfect.
[18:02] Chi
The full-body conditioning from swimming,
[18:04] Chi
the balance from soccer,
[18:06] Chi
and the muscle training
and agility from baseball
[18:08] Chi
will all come in handy
in rhythmic gymnastics.
[18:11] Futa
Really?
[18:13] Ona
Okay, Misato, let's move on to tumbling.
[18:15] Misa
Sure.
[18:15] Futa
What's tumbling?
[18:18] Chi
A series of leaps and rolls
across the floor or mat.
[18:26] Ona
That's an ace for you.
[18:30] Shi
Misato-kun.
[18:32] Shi
I want a round-off into
a salto backwards layout,
[18:34] Shi
a half twist, and a forward salto.
[18:38] Misa
Understood.
[19:02] Futa
Incredible...
[19:03] Chi
Futaba-kun, want to
try some arabesques?
[19:06] Futa
S-Sure.
[19:08] Nana
He's got good posture.
[19:09] Shi
I like what I'm seeing.
[19:12] Shi
Misato-kun is good too, but...
[19:17] Kuri
Good abdominal strength.
[19:19] Nana
He might be cut out for this.
[19:21] Shi
"A knack is nice,"
[19:23] Shi
"but enjoyment is everything."

[19:27] Nana
Y-Your... wife, huh?
[19:31] Nana
So, what do you think?
[19:32] Futa
O-Oh, well...
[19:35] Futa
I still don't really know.
[19:37] Nana
You've been interested
in the sport for a while, right?
[19:40] Futa
The first time I saw it was your
tournament performance last year.
[19:44] Chi
Too bad we lost that one.
[19:46] Uta
B-But you were awesome!
[19:48] Uta
You soared so high and moved so fast!
[19:51] Uta
I could hardly believe my eyes!
[19:53] Uta
And watching you backflip,
then backflip all together...
[19:57] Uta
It was just the coolest.
[19:59] Uta
It really made me wish I could do it, too.
[20:04] Nana
Then let's try a backflip!
[20:06] Futa
What? Isn't it a little soon?
[20:08] Nana
Don't sweat it! Just come with me.
[20:11] Nana
Ready?
[20:12] Nana
Throw yourself up like vwoosh!
[20:14] Nana
Then it's oomph with your hips,
and your legs go bam!
[20:17] Nana
Then at the end, your arms go bwash!
[20:19] Futa
Huh?
[20:20] Chi
I don't think that's helping.
[20:22] Nana
You don't?
[20:23] Nana
Anyway, let's give it a try.
[20:24] Futa
O-Okay.
[20:29] Chi
Hey, now...
[20:30] Nana
Try more pow with you chest.
[20:31] Futa
My chest?
[20:33] Nana
Help me out, Tsukidate.
[20:35] Ts
Yeah, sure.
[20:36] Nana
We'll hold you up,
so jump as high as you can.
[20:39] Futa
Right!
[20:42] Tsu
You okay?
[20:44] Futa
I guess I can't really do it yet.
[20:58] Futa
He's sticking his chest out proud...
[21:05] Futa
What Misato-kun just did...
[21:07] Futa
Is that what you meant
by going pow with your chest?
[21:10] Nana
Wanna call it a day?
[21:12] Futa
No! Let's keep going!
[21:18] Nana
Okay! One more time!
[21:20] Futa
Right!
[21:21] Futa
Commit to it. Don't be afraid.
[21:23] Futa
Right!
[21:24] Nana
Focus on your chest.
[21:25] Futa
Right!
[21:29] Tsu
Okay, looking good.
[21:30] Tsu
I think you have the form down.
[21:33] Nana
Wanna try it once without help?
[21:35] Futa
Yes!
[21:38] Futa
I've never felt this way before.
[21:41] Futa
I've always gone where people*
invited me, just going with the flow...
[21:45] Futa
But I've never pursued an interest so avidly.
[21:49] Futa
Even if I lost, even if I never
became a regular, I didn't mind.
[21:54] Futa
But now... I want to soar.
[21:57] Futa
I'm dying to learn how!
[22:00] Futa
Is it because I chose this?
[22:02] Futa
Because it's the first time
I've decided what I want to do?
[22:06] Futa
Where I want to go... What I want to do...
[22:09] Futa
I really, truly...
[22:17] Futa
I want to backflip!
[22:21] Futa
My body's rising into the air.
[22:24] Futa
I've never felt so light before.
[22:27] Futa
And as everything spins around me...
[22:34] Futa
It's like the world is opening up before me!
[22:40] All
Heck yeah!
[22:42] Kuri
Cool.
[22:43] Misa
Not half bad.
