    Backflip!!
[01:56] Sho

    Now we get to soar together a while longer.

[02:19] Shi
    Huh? Onagawa?
[02:22] Sho
    Onagawa-senpai?
[02:25] Shi
    Still kicking yourself
    over that mistake yesterday?
[02:28] Shi
    Just practice a little and—
[02:29] Ona
    Gosh!
[02:30] Ona
    We took second at prefecturals,
    but still no love from the ladies!
[02:34] All
    Huh?
[02:35] Ono
    I was hoping for a little more...
[02:37] Ono
    "Second place at prefecturals?
    That's awesome!"
[02:39] Ono
    "Won't you teach me how to do
    men's rhythmic gymnastics?"
[02:42] Ono
    But it's all coming up dry!
[02:45] Shi
    So that's the problem, huh?
[02:47] Wat
    I get it, though.
[02:49] Tsu
    You do, huh?
[02:50] Sho
    But what can you do?
[02:54] Shi
    Morning, everyone.
[02:56] Sho
    Coach! And Misato-kun?
[02:58] Shi
    What brings you here at this hour?
[03:01] Shi
    He called me late last night.
[03:04] Shi
    He said he wants to stay at the dorm.
[03:06] ---
    What?!
[03:07] Sho
    Misato-kun at the dorm with us?
[03:09] Ona
    Well, well!
[03:11] Ona
    Can't bear to be without us, huh?

[03:16] Mis
    Don't call me that.
[03:19] Mis
    The prefectural tournament made it clear.
[03:21] Mis
    We need significant
    improvement to beat Shiro High.
[03:27] Mis
    I really want to go to the Inter-High.
[03:29] Mis
    That means we need to get better.
[03:33] Mis
    And not just as individuals. As a group!
[03:36] Shi
    Okay! Then let's burn even hotter!
[03:40] Tsu
    Indeed.
[03:41] Sho
    Yeah!
[03:41] Wat
    Yah!
[03:42] Sho
    You don't have to get home, Misato-kun?
[03:45] Mis
    I will on weekends.
[03:46] Shi
    Then the rest is up to you, Captain.
[03:49] Shi
    Right!
[03:50] Wat
    It oughta go without saying...
[03:53] Wat
    but we've got a chore wheel system 'round here
[03:55] Wat
    for cookin', laundry, and cleanin'.
[03:58] Wat
    You're gonna start by showin' us
    what you can do in the kitchen...

    Misato!
[04:13] All
    Let's eat!
[04:15] All
    So good!
[04:24] Kuri
    Even his cleanup is flawless.
[04:27] Ona
    What are you now, Perfect Ace?
[04:29] Mis
    Don't call me that.
[04:33] Shi
    Well, we've had grub and we got Misato.
[04:36] Shi
    Time to practice—
[04:36] Tsu
    Hold it.
[04:39] Tsu

[04:53] Sho
    I haven't studied at all...
[04:55] Kuri
    Activities are on hold until afterward.
[04:58] Tsu
    We need to make good on our promise
    to our coach for another year.
[05:01] Mis
    What promise?
[05:02] Kuri
    If even one of us receives a failing grade,
[05:04] Kuri
    we're all barred from the
    Sekiou University gym for the year.
[05:08] Tsu
    In other words...
[05:09] Sho
    What?!
[05:10] Sho
    We won't be able to use the mat?
[05:13] Mis
    What?
[05:15] Tsu
    The captain, Onagawa,
    and Watari always scrape by.
[05:19] Sho
    Huh? Then what about you two?
[05:23] Both
    Not a problem.
[05:25] Tsu
    What about you, Shotaro?
[05:28] Sho
    My English is dicey...
[05:30] Tsu
    Okay. And you, Misato?
[05:33] Tsu
    Did you struggle anywhere in junior high?
[05:34] Mis
    Never.
[05:36] Tsu
    Great.
[05:37] Tsu
    You help Shotaro with English, then.
[05:39] ---
    What?
[05:40] Tsu
    All right! I'll handle
    Shichigahama and Onagawa.
[05:40] ---

    A man don't need English to make sasakama!
[05:58] Tsu
    Sasashichi might expand abroad someday.
[06:02] Shi
    Good point!
[06:03] Shi
    What's "sasakama" in English?
[06:06] Tsu
    I... I don't know.
[06:09] Shi
    Sa... Sasa...

    continuing forever.
[06:10] Tsu
    Well, that's not going to be on the test...
[06:13] Ona
    Finally: at last, in the end.
[06:16] Tsu
    Onagawa, you memorized vocabulary!
[06:20] Ona
    These words all appear
    in Tan Tan Girls lyrics.
[06:23] Ona
    Thank you, Ma-chan.
[06:27] Shi
    Here it is!

    Sasa is "bamboo grass"!

    Wait, Misato-kun, how do you know all this?
[07:19] Mis
    I've memorized that part.
[07:22] Sho
    Misato-kun, you really are per—

[07:53] Mis
    Could you make way, Futaba?

[08:01] Shi
    How considerate of you, Misato.
[08:03] Shi
    Rice balls!
[08:05] Mis
    I made plenty. There are more in the kitchen.
[08:07] Sho
    Wow, they look great!
[08:11] Wat
    Now this sates my hunger!
[08:15] Sho
    Are other teams forbidden from
    using the facilities if they fail classes?
[08:21] Ona
    Doubt it.
[08:23] Shi
    I made a promise to the coach when we
    formed the men's rhythmic gymnastics club.
[08:27] Mis
    That's right.
[08:28] Mis
    You said something about him
    making a place for you...
[08:32] Mis
    Did you mean the team?
[08:35] Ona
    Yep!
[08:36] Sho
    But the coach was the ace of
    Hakumei University, wasn't he?
[08:40] Tsu
    He was indeed a superlative athlete.
[08:43] Tsu
    So much so that if he'd stayed in the game,
[08:45] Tsu
    they say he could've changed the history
    of men's rhythmic gymnastics.

    Why didn't you tell me you were hurt?

    I perform without thought for the future.
[10:52] (Flashback) Shi
    I only live in the moment.
[10:54] (Flashback) Mab
    And this is where that got you.

    I'm going to soar again.
[11:13] Sub
    You should be able
    to go about your daily life.
[11:17] Sub
    But you'll never compete again.
[11:20] Sub
    I'd recommend finding a
    profession outside of athletics.
[11:26] Sub
    You're still young, so you have time.
[11:31] (Flashback) Shi

[11:43] (Flashback) Shi
    Thanks.
[11:45] (Flashback) Rei
    What are you going to do now?
[11:47] (Flashback) Shi
    Dunno. Guess I'll wander aimlessly here.
[11:50] (Flashback) Shi
    Or go back to Japan
    and wander aimlessly there.
[11:53] (Flashback) Shi
    I don't have any plans for the future,
    so I guess I'll just do whatever.
[12:00] (Flashback) Rei
    Look at you walking!
[12:04] (Flashback) Rei
    You're walking, Shida-san.
[12:06] (Flashback) Shi
    What does that matter?
[12:09] (Flashback) Rei
    You worked hard to be
    on your own two feet again.
[12:12] (Flashback) Rei
    If you hadn't put in the effort,
    you wouldn't even be standing here.
[12:15] (Flashback) Rei
    Please don't diminish your hard work.
[12:19] (Flashback) Rei
    It might take you to an even brighter future.

[12:34] (Flashback) Mom
    She said he used to do
    gymnastics at Shiro University.
[12:37] (Flashback) Mom
    Or... was it rhythmic gymnastics?
[12:39] (Flashback) ---
    Huh.
[12:40] (Flashback) Dad
    I didn't know men did rhythmic gymnastics.
[12:43] (Flashback) Mom
    Apparently they do.

    Hello, Asao-chan.
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[13:06] (Flashback) Kuri
    You're different.
[13:08] (Flashback) Kuri
    You don't do rhythmic gymnastics any more?
[13:10] (Flashback) Shi
    Not as an athlete.
[13:13] (Flashback) Shi
    But I'm thinking of becoming a coach.
[13:16] (Flashback) Man
    Shida? Oh, from Shiro University?
[13:19] (Flashback) Man
    I've got all the help I need.
[13:23] (Flashback) Man
    We don't have enough members for a team.
[13:26] (Flashback) Man
    Sorry, but you'll have to look elsewhere.
[13:29] (Flashback) Man
    Jeez, that was Shida-senpai again!
[13:33] (Flashback) Mab
    Sorry, but Shiro University and
    Shiro High both have enough help.
[13:38] (Flashback) Mab
    If I find anything, I'll let you know.
[13:41] (Flashback) Shi
    Okay. Thank you.
[13:44] (Flashback) Shi
    I appreciate it.
[13:46] (Flashback) Man
    I know Mabuchi-senpai asked
    and all, but that guy...
[13:50] (Flashback) Man
    When I think back on
     everything he said to me...
[13:53] (Flashback) Man
    I doubt he wants to work
    for "dregs" like us anyway.
[14:01] Mab
    You found a job? Where?
[14:03] (Flashback) Shi
    Ao High.
[14:05] (Flashback) Shi
    Soshukan Private High School!
[14:08] Mab
    Does Ao High even have
    a men's rhythmic gymnastics team?
[14:10] (Flashback) Shi
    They don't.
[14:12] (Flashback) Shi
    I'll be teaching English and
    advising the newspaper club.

    What?

    What? A men's rhythmic gymnastics club?
[16:37] (Flashback) Shi
    Yes. I have all the materials.
[16:40] (Flashback) Shi
    Please give them a look.
[16:43] (Flashback) Shi
    I don't know why I didn't realize it sooner.
[16:46] (Flashback) Shi
    I suppose I still wasn't facing reality.
[16:50] (Flashback) Shi
    It's the same arrogance
    I felt during my ace days.

    I was so sure that someone
    would reach out to me...

    That there was a place I'd be welcomed...
[17:00] (Flashback) Shi

    Why not?
[17:15] (Flashback) Man
    There's no need.

    You can't understand the appeal of men's
    rhythmic gymnastics without watching those!
[17:22] (Flashback) Man
    What's the point?
[17:24] (Flashback) Man
    I already know a club like that won't bring
    anything worthwhile to our school.
[17:28] (Flashback) Man
    Just give up.
[17:31] (Flashback) Shi
    Head Teacher!
[17:49] (Flashback) Shi
    And real men's rhythmic
    gymnastics is even better.
[17:53] (Flashback) Shi
    It's five, ten... a hundred times
     more powerful and beautiful!
[17:58] (Flashback) Shi
    Please, at least watch them!

[18:17] (Flashback) Pri
    You need a specialized mat, don't you?
[18:19] (Flashback) Pri
    We don't have the budget for that.
[18:22] (Flashback) Shi
    We'll borrow the one at Sekiou University.
[18:25] (Flashback) Pri
    Oh? You know someone
    who can get you in there?
[18:35] (Flashback) Mab
    Very well.
[18:36] (Flashback) Mab
    I'll put in a good word
    at Sekiou University for you.
[18:42] (Flashback) Shi
    Senpai.
[18:43] (Flashback) Shi
    Why are you willing to go so far for me?
[18:48] (Flashback) Mab
    You're not a prodigy, you know?
[18:51] (Flashback) Mab
    I know how hard you worked
    to get where you were.
[18:54] (Flashback) Mab
    What you felt was genuine.
[18:57] (Flashback) Mab
    Of course, your obnoxiousness
    was the real deal, too.
[19:00] (Flashback) Mab
    But I could ask you the same
    question... Why go this far?
[19:04] (Flashback) Shi
    With these boys, I think...
[19:08] (Flashback) Shi
    I think I can soar again.
[19:18] (Flashback) Ona
    All right!

    I mean, Coach!
[19:36] (Flashback) Shi
    We'll make a promise, too!
[19:38] (Flashback) Shi
    We're gonna take you to the Inter-High!
[19:43] (Flashback) Shi
    Sure.
[19:44] (Flashback) Shi
    We'll all study hard, too!
[19:46] (Flashback) Shi
    We won't fail one subject!
[19:48] (Flashback) Shi
    If we do, you can bar us from
     using this gym for a year!
[19:53] (Flashback) Shi
    You're sure?
[19:55] (Flashback) Shi
    Yes! A man keeps his word!
[19:58] (Flashback) Shi
    Then do it, Shichigahama-kun...
[20:02] (Flashback) Shi
    Captain!
[20:05] (Flashback) Shi
    Yes, sir!
[20:06] Shi
    And that's why we can't fail a single test.
[20:09] Sho
    I'm going to go study!
[20:13] Mis
    I have a question.
[20:16] Shi
    What?
[20:17] Mis
    The details of your story just now
[20:19] Mis
    suggest it wasn't the coach
     who proposed the deal.

    We won't fail one subject!

    That's a relief. Bye.
[20:51] Sho
    Wait! You're leaving, Misato-kun?
[20:53] Sho
    After throwing that grenade?!
[20:55] Tsu
    I thought something was weird!
[20:57] Tsu
    The coach would never make us promise that!
[20:59] Shi
    What do you want from me?!
[21:00] Shi
    After all the coach did for us,
    any man would've promised that!
[21:02] Both
    Would not!
[21:08] Sho
    But we still worked hard, and in the end...
[21:11] Shi
    Coach! We all passed all our tests!
[21:15] Shi
    Good. Let's get started, then.
[21:18] All
    Yes, sir!
[21:20] Sho
    We're soaring again today!
