[00:07] Kuri
    The current routine goes like this.
[00:13] Kuri
    The new routine goes like this.
[00:16] Shi
    It ain't just the lift, either.
[00:20] Tsu
    The moves between the first and
    third tumbling passes are different.
[00:24] Wat
    It's an overall increase in difficulty.
[00:27] Sho
    Especially Misato-kun's lift.
[00:30] Tsu
    A backward leap will require a stronger
     foundation and more coordination.
[00:34] Ona
    Good thing we've got our Safe and Trusty Ace!
[00:56] Ona
    Wha?! He blew me off!
[00:58] Tsu
    I know it's annoying, Misato, but...
[01:00] Wat
    You can't just leave a man hangin'.
[01:02] Chi
    At least humor our obnoxious friend.
[01:05] Ona
    "Obnoxious friend"?
[01:07] Mis
    Oh, sorry.
[01:09] Shi
    Well, let's get started.
[01:11] All
    Yes, sir!
[02:40] All
    Backflip!!
[02:45] Shi
    Well, let's try the lift.
[02:48] All
    Sir!
[03:26] Chi
    What's up, Misato?
[03:28] Mis
    I'm sorry. I messed up the timing.
[03:31] Mis
    I'd like to try it again.
[03:33] ---
    Sure.
[04:03] Mis
    I'm sorry.
[04:05] Chi
    What's up? You off your game?
[04:07] Mis
    Er, no. Let's give it another try.
[04:11] Shi
    No, I think we should give it a rest.
[04:13] Mis
    Please let me try again.
[04:16] Shi
    We have plenty of time.
    There's no need to rush.
[04:19] Mis
    But...
[04:20] Shi
    I don't want you injuring yourself.
[04:27] Mis
    Yes, sir.
[04:30] Wat
    Comin' in!
[04:35] Ona
    I'm worried about our ace...
[04:39] Chi
    What's he so afraid of?
[04:42] Tsu
    I wonder.
[04:43] Tsu
    I've never seen him like this before.
[05:37] Wat
    Misato...
[05:39] Wat
    So you don't trust us as
    your foundation or somethin'?
[05:46] Chi
    Hey, Watari.
[05:47] Mis
    No... I'm sorry.
[05:52] Shi
    That's it for morning practice.
[05:53] Shi
    We'll pick up after classes.
[05:55] Chi
    S-Sir!
[05:57] Wat
    Yah!
[05:57] Wat
    Yes, sir!
[05:58] Sho
    Misato-kun!
[06:02] Sho
    What's wrong?
[06:03] Mis
    Nothing.
[06:05] Sho
    Do you feel ill—
[06:06] Mis
    I'm fine.
[06:18] Chi
    Misato bailed?
[06:19] Sho
    Yes.
[06:20] Sho
    I can't find him anywhere on campus.
[06:28] Mis
    I'm back.
[06:34] Saki
    Ryo-chan? What's up?
[06:41] Sho
    I heard Misato-kun stayed home today...
[06:47] Wat
    W-Was it because of what I said to him?!
[06:51] Ona
    I mean... who skips school
    'cause they can't handle a lift?
[06:58] Shi
    I'm going to stop by his house.
[07:00] Chi
    Then I'll come with.
[07:02] Shi
    That's okay.
[07:03] Shi
    Let's go, Futaba-kun.
[07:07] Shi
    You've been wanting to talk
    to him, haven't you?
[07:12] Sho
    Yes!
[07:18] Sign
    Hirose
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Misato
[07:21] Sho
    Hirose?
[07:25] Shi
    I guess they're not home.
[07:27] Saki
    Excuse me...
[07:28] Saki
    Can I help you?
[07:36] Saki
    I know that face from somewhere...
[07:40] Saki
    But where?
[07:41] Shi
    Um...
[07:43] Shi
    I'm the men's rhythmic gymnastics
     coach at Ao High.
[07:46] Saki
    Oh, you're Coach Shida!
[07:49] Saki
    I appreciate you looking after Ryo-chan.
[07:51] Shi
    Oh, don't mention it.
[07:54] Saki
    I'm his aunt, Sakiko Hirose.
[07:56] Saki
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[07:58] Sho
    His aunt?
[08:01] Saki
    Huh? Where is it again?
[08:04] Saki
    I'll just be a minute!
[08:07] Saki
    The tea, the tea...
[08:11] Shi
    Don't go out of your way.
[08:15] Saki
    I'm just hopeless around the house...
[08:20] Fb
    Teamwork is important
    in men's rhythmic gymnastics.
[08:23] Fb
    So the boys live in a dorm together.
[08:26] Fb
    I really need to go home in the evenings.
[08:30] Saki
    He shows up last night and says,
[08:33] Saki
    "You really are helpless without me."
[08:36] Saki
    Okay, that's a bad impression.
[08:37] Saki
    Ah, there it is!
[08:46] Saki
    Did something happen
    with Ryo-chan and the team?
[08:51] Shi
    It's nothing to worry about.
[08:54] Sho
    Our lift...
[08:56] Sho
    I mean, he and I are working
    on a move together.
[09:01] Sho
    But it's not going well.
[09:03] Saki
    A lift?
[09:06] Shi
    Does that mean anything to you?
[09:09] Saki
    It was... his second year
    of junior high, I think.
[09:20] Sho
    He's hesitant to do lifts, then?
[09:23] Sho
    But he's never had trouble before...
[09:25] Shi
    The new lift we're trying means trusting
     your teammates to get the timing right.
[09:33] Saki
    I see.
[09:35] Saki
    So he hasn't changed.
[09:47] Saki
    Ryo-chan's mother was my big sister.
[09:52] Saki
    His parents are...
[10:09] Saki
    His junior high coach said the same thing.
[10:12] Saki
    He's very diligent and cares deeply
    about his teammates,
[10:15] Saki
    but he seems to keep them at arm's length.
[10:18] Sho
    He does?
[10:19] Saki
    Yes.
[10:21] Saki
    Ever since he was a child,
    he's kind of had a thing
[10:24] Saki
    about being as independent as possible.
[10:27] Saki
    I think it's because he
    doesn't want to burden me.
[10:31] Saki
    So it's not that he doesn't
    trust his friends.
[10:36] Saki
    It's more like... he just can't fully
    put himself in their hands.
[10:40] Saki
    Like he feels a responsibility
    to handle everything himself.
[10:50] Shi
    I see.
[10:54] Saki
    I'm sure I know your face from somewhere...
[11:01] Saki
    Here!
[11:05] Sho
    Scary! Who's that?
[11:07] Sho
    He looks so mean.
[11:10] Sho
    Although he does seem familiar...
[11:16] Shi
    It's me.
[11:18] Shi
    That's me when I was younger.
[11:20] Shi
    How embarrassing.
[11:21] ---
    What?!
[11:22] Saki
    I knew it!
[11:23] Saki
    I knew I'd seen you somewhere before.
[11:26] Saki
    There was a period when Ryo-chan
    was really in the dumps.
[11:30] Saki
    But when he found some
     men's rhythmic gymnastics videos,
[11:33] Saki
    he said, "I want to be like this guy.
    I want to be a cool jumper like him."
[11:37] Saki
    And then he started trying.
[11:42] Sho
    Then the reason he came to Ao High is...
[11:49] Sign
    Hirose
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Misato
[11:50] Sho
    Sorry to impose.
[11:52] Shi
    When Misato-kun returns...
[11:54] Saki
    Of course. I'll call you first thing.
[12:00] Saki
    Oh, Ryo-chan.
[12:03] Mis
    Coach... Futaba...
[12:05] Shi
    Welcome home, Misato-kun.
[12:10] Shi
    I'm heading back.
[12:12] Shi
    I'll leave you two alone to talk.
[12:15] Sho
    Okay.
[12:28] Sho
    Misato-kun!
[12:29] Mis
    I know, all right?
[12:32] Mis
    It's my weakness.
[12:36] Mis
    I'm socially awkward.
[12:38] Mis
    I don't know how to build
     trusting relationships.
[12:45] Mis
    No... I just don't know how to trust anyone.
[12:49] Mis
    I came to the dorm in hopes
     of getting over that.
[12:53] Mis
    It's okay, though.
[12:55] Mis
    I spent the day thinking,
    and I'm ready to do things right.
[12:59] Mis
    Futaba.
[13:00] Mis
    I'm going to trust you all.
[13:02] Sho
    You're going to trust us?
[13:04] Mis
    Yeah. I've made up my mind.
[13:07] Mis
    I'm going to believe in you
     and the captain more.
[13:10] Mis
    So you don't have to worry.
[13:13] Mis
    I'm going home now.
[13:18] Sho
    Wait! That doesn't sound right!
[13:24] Mis
    What doesn't?
[13:25] Sho
    Deciding that you're
     going to believe in us...
[13:27] Sho
    That's just you taking on
    everything yourself again!
[13:32] Sho
    That's not how this works!
    That's not even close to real trust!
[13:42] Mis
    Then what exactly am I supposed to do?
[13:46] Sho
    Huh? W-Well...
[13:54] Sho
    B-Be needy?
[13:57] Sho
    Yeah, that's it! You have to be needy!
[13:59] Mis
    What?
[14:00] Sho
    Being part of a team means you
    need other people! You need our help!
[14:04] Sho
    So need us already!
[14:07] Mis
    B-But I don't know how to be needy...
[14:10] Sho
    I can't do everything for you alone,
[14:12] Sho
    but you've got the rest of the team
    and our coach, too!
[14:15] Sho
    Okay, let's get back and get needy!
[14:18] Mis
    N-No, I still don't know how...
[14:20] Sho
    Come on! Let's get going!
[14:23] Mis
    Wait, Futaba!
[14:28] Mis
    I'm sorry for worrying you all.
[14:35] Mis
    I... I'm...
[14:38] Chi
    It's fine. You don't hafta tell us
    if you don't wanna.
[14:42] Chi
    Everyone's got somethin' or other
     they're shy about.
[14:45] Tsu
    Except for maybe you, Captain.
[14:47] ---
    Whazzat?!
[14:48] Ona
    Sometimes a man just needs a day off.
[14:51] Wat
    I'm sorry about what I said!
[14:54] Mis
    Er... that really had nothing to do with it.
[14:57] Chi
    Anyway, let's make this a fresh start.
[15:00] Tsu
    Let's.
[15:05] Mis
    All right.
[15:06] Sho
    Yeah!
[15:08] Sho
    On that note...
[15:11] Sho
    Be needy. Be needy!
[15:17] Mis
    I... I have a favor to ask of you all.
[15:21] Mis
    I really want to get this move right!
[15:25] Mis
    So... please...
[15:28] Mis
    Please let me take all the practice I need!
[15:31] Mis
    Please!
[15:37] Tsu
    Misato.
[15:38] Ona
    How could we ever refuse
[15:41] Ona
    such a request from our Returning Ace?
[15:43] Mis
    Don't call me that.
[15:45] Ona
    Gosh, gotta love that Pavlovian response!
[15:48] Tsu
    You're not soaring under your own power.
[15:51] Wat
    You need us to set you flyin'!
[15:53] Ona
    That's right.
[15:54] Ona
    For group competitions, you really need
    to bond with and understand your teammates.
[15:59] Chi
    Yeah, you said it!
[16:01] Tsu
    Indeed.
[16:02] Wat
    Which means...
[16:05] Wat
    Tan Tan!
[16:06] Wat
    Sasakama!
[16:08] Wat
    Yakuza!
[16:09] Wat
    Greenery!
[16:14] Wat
    Tan-Sasa-Za-Nery! Tan-Sasa-Za-Nery!
[16:19] Mid
    When did they practice that?
[16:21] Sho
    It's so coordinated...
[16:23] Ona
    Behold the bonds of the Ao High
    men's rhythmic gymnastics team!
[16:26] Chi
    Come on, you two! Join us!
[16:29] Chi
    Shotaro! Misato!
[16:31] Mis
    I flat-out refuse.
[16:33] Sho
    Let's do it, Misato-kun!
[16:35] Sho
    This is part of being needy.
[16:38] Mis
    It can't possibly be...
[16:40] Sho
    I mean, I'm not eager to join in either...
[16:43] Chi
    I heard that, Shotaro!
[16:46] Sho
    S-Sorry!
[16:47] Tsu
    To be honest,
     I'm not thrilled about this myself.
[16:49] Chi
    Tsukidate, you traitor!
[16:51] Wat
    S'right! S'right!
[16:59] Sho
    I feel so relaxed...
[17:18] Mis
    Shotaro.
[17:21] Sho
    Yeah?
[17:23] Mis
    I plan to get a job
    straight out of high school.
[17:28] Mis
    My aunt says I can go to college,
[17:32] Mis
    but I think that would
    really be a drag on her.
[17:37] Mis
    So my third year of high school will
    be my last for rhythmic gymnastics.
[17:44] Mis
    I have only these three years.
[17:47] Mis
    That's why I have to make every day...
[17:49] Mis
    No, I have to make every hour,
    minute, and second count.
[17:57] Sho
    Yeah... I feel the same!
[18:02] Sho
    I want to keep performing with you
     for the next three years.
[18:05] Sho
    First, we're going to the Inter-High.
[18:07] Sho
    All of us! Together!
[18:13] Mis
    Yeah.
[18:20] Chi
    Why'd you take Shotaro to Misato's house?
[18:24] Shi
    You three are graduating
    after this year's tournament.
[18:30] Shi
    Watari-kun and Asa-chan
    will be gone after next year, too.
[18:34] Shi
    That leaves Futaba-kun and Misato-kun
[18:39] Shi
    to define Ao High's MRG team.
[18:52] Sign
    Drive Dedication Courage!!
[19:05] Mis
    Damn it!
[19:06] Ona
    Wait, did...
[19:08] Chi
    Did Misato just swear?
[19:10] Mis
    One more time, please!
[19:14] Kuri
    I've never seen Misato-kun
    show this kind of emotion.
[19:22] Shi
    Misato-kun.
[19:24] Shi
    When I performed, I did things alone.
[19:27] Shi
    I was on a team...
[19:30] Shi
    Yet I didn't trust anyone.
    I performed by myself.
[19:33] Shi
    And in the end...
[19:35] Shi
    I destroyed myself and my team.
[19:39] Shi
    But you're not like me.
[19:42] Shi
    You've made a choice
    to soar with the others.
[19:44] Shi
    And they've chosen to soar with you.
[19:47] Shi
    Everyone here wants to soar together.
[19:56] Shi
    You've already surpassed me.
[20:00] Shi
    So don't worry. I know you can do this.
[20:47] All
    All right!
[20:49] Sho
    Misato-kun!
[20:50] Ona
    I knew our Comeback Ace
     and Honest Leaf could do it!
[20:58] Mis
    Coach!
[21:01] Mis
    Despite all that you said...
[21:04] Mis
    I really love your backflips!
[21:13] Sho
    When I'm with Misato-kun and the team...
[21:17] Sho
    I know I can soar.
[21:19] Sho
    I can soar higher!
