    Hole 18 340 Yards Par 4
[00:12] Man
    S-She doesn't stand a chance!

[00:14] Sign
    Sato
[00:17] Man
    Sato was the 2nd place winner
    at last year's Kanto tournament!
[00:21] Man
    So this is the golf world's
    new star, Aoi Amawashi,
[00:25] Man
    the daughter of Seira Amawashi
    and Kazuhiko Hodaka...
[00:32] Amane
    A gentle breeze from the front left.
[00:34] Amane
    It won't have much effect.
[00:36] Amane
    With this pin position, you should aim right
    of the fairway, at a distance of 220 yards.
[00:42] Aoi
    Amane, let me try this.
[00:45] Amane
    The 48-inch?
[00:47] Amane
    No, Aoi!
[00:48] Amane
    You're still growing.
[00:50] Amane
    You should wait for your body
    to finish growing to use it!
[00:54] Aoi
    I want to use it anyway!
[00:56] Amane
    Don't forget that the goal of this practice match
    is to get you ready for the tournament.
[01:01] Aoi
    When I get back to school,
    my match with Eve awaits.
[01:04] Aoi
    I'm going to need this club then.
[01:06] Amane
    Which is more important, your match
    with that girl or the tournament?
[01:11] Aoi
    Both are important, of course.
[01:13] Amane
    You really don't listen...
[01:17] Aoi
    Mom used to tell me...
[01:19] Aoi
    That selfish golfers are stronger.
[01:25] Aoi
    Let's go, Pakkun.
[01:27] Aoi
    When we get back,
[01:31] Aoi
    we can play golf with Eve!
[01:33] Aoi
    With Eve...
[01:39] Gozo
    Nice shot, Aoi.
[01:42] Aoi
    Grandfather!
[03:18] Gozo
    You finished with a total of -12 under, huh?
[03:22] Gozo
    That birdie at the end was well-done.
[03:25] Gozo
    The way you continue to strive
    to improve yourself...
[03:28] Gozo
    Your play-style is just like your mother's.
[03:34] Gozo
    So, what are you so mad about?
[03:37] Aoi
    I'm not mad.
[03:41] Gozo
    She's mad, right?
[03:44] Amane
    You can always play a match with her!
[03:47] Amane
    No pouting!
[03:50] Maid
    Excuse me.
[03:54] Maid
    Here you are.
[03:59] Aoi
    Grandfather, this cake...
[04:02] Aoi
    It's from that place I love in Hokkaido!
[04:06] Gozo
    I had it brought specially for you.
[04:08] Gozo
    Eat up.
[04:11] Aoi
    Thank you so much!
[04:20] Aoi
    It's so good!
[04:22] Gozo
    Is it? Go on! Eat up!
[04:25] Aoi
    Okay!
[04:28] Amane
    She's a child...
[04:30] Amane
    Just a child...
[04:38] Aoi**
    Good boy!
[04:39] Gozo
    I heard a rumor that the club president,
    Kinue Jinguji, was injured.
[04:46] Aoi
    Go!
[04:46] Amane
    The epicondylitis in her left
    arm took a turn for the worse.
[04:51] Gozo
    Golfer's elbow, huh?
[04:53] Aoi
    Come on!
[04:53] Gozo
    So she won't be appearing
    in the doubles, then?
[04:57] Amane
    Most likely.
[04:59] Gozo
    Seira created that tournament
    just to make Aoi famous.
[05:06] Gozo
    She can't be allowed to lose.
[05:10] Amane
    Yes, I understand.
[05:12] Gozo
    Coach Amuro dodges the
    question when I bring it up.
[05:16] Gozo
    That's why I brought you here.
[05:18] Aoi
    Over here! Come!
[05:19] Gozo
    I'll just ask you straight.
[05:21] Gozo
    Is anyone in that club good
    enough to play alongside Aoi?
[05:25] Gozo
    Someone who's sure to win.
[05:28] Amane
    Just one, in my personal opinion.
[05:32] Amane
    A girl whose golf is sharp,
    like a whetted knife.
[05:37] Gozo
    And her name?
[05:39] Amane
    Eve.
[05:40] Amane
    No...
[05:42] Amane
    Evangeline F. Kimishima.

[05:52] Amuro
    You two don't need to join
    the rest of the girls for practice.
[05:55] Amuro
    Eve's past the point where
    she needs tips on technique.
[05:59] Amuro
    Instead, I want you to get
    used to a Japanese course.
[06:03] Amuro
    Japanese wind. Grass.
    The depth of the rough.
[06:06] Amuro
    The state of the green.
[06:08] Amuro
    Learn it until it's second nature.
[06:11] Amuro
    And here.
[06:13] Amuro
    Learn to master these clubs.
[06:17] Ichina
    These are Athens' best models!
[06:21] Ichina
    Type-E Titanium on the driver face!
[06:23] Ichina
    Next-gen "Necklace" carbon on the shaft!
[06:25] Ichina
    And the iron's made of hybrid tungsten!
[06:28] Eve
    Is that impressive?
[06:29] Ichina
    Impressive, and impressively expensive!
[06:31] Ichina
    By the way, Amawashi uses
    a custom model of the same type.
[06:35] Ichina
    Like Char's custom model.
[06:38] Eve
    The same as Aoi, huh?
[06:41] Amuro
    I've reserved the Athens Golf Course
    for you for three days.
[06:44] Amuro
    Play all you like.
[06:46] Ichina
    Athens Golf Course?
[06:48] Ichina
    Do you mean...
[06:50] Amuro
    Saotome, you help Eve.
[06:53] Ichina
    O-Okay, got it!
[06:59] Kinue
    Come on, let's go.
[07:00] Ichina
    Club President Jinguji! I-Is your arm okay?
[07:05] Kinue
    Just get in the car.
[07:12] Kinue
    Coach Amuro!
[07:14] (Flashback) Kinue
    Let me go, too!
[07:17] (Flashback) Amuro
    Planning to bully Eve?
[07:19] (Flashback) Kinue
    Her golf is still an unknown to me.
[07:23] (Flashback) Kinue
    There are things that even I,
[07:24] (Flashback) Kinue
    no, especially I can do.
[07:30] (Flashback) Amuro
    Alright.
[07:32] (Flashback) Amuro
    She's a diamond in the rough. Go polish her.
[07:34] (Flashback) Amuro
    But...
[07:43] Ichina
    The real thing is totally different...
[07:46] Ichina
    Rub, rub, rub, rub.
[07:55] Aoi
    Eve's not here?
[07:57] Girl
    Her teacher said she's been
    given a 3-day excused absence.
[08:01] Girl
    Saotome's with her.
[08:05] Aoi
    How long...
[08:08] Aoi
    ... is this going to keep happening?
[08:12] Sign
    Hole 5 175 Yards Par 3
[08:13] Ichina
    Hole 5 is 175 yards with a Par 3.
[08:18] Ichina
    With your strength, a 5
    will be more than good enough.
[08:22] Ichina
    Watch out for the bunker
    on the left of the green.
[08:29] Kinue
    She's strong enough...
[08:32] Kinue
    And has a strong core.
[08:34] Kinue
    And then she unleashes...
[08:39] Kinue
    that piercing trajectory.
[08:48] Ichina
    Nice work, Eve!
[08:50] Eve
    I'm not used to the clubs yet.
[08:52] Ichina
    You've gotten 2 birdies in 5 holes.
[08:55] Ichina
    Pretty good for your first round.
[09:01] Ichina
    P-President?
[09:08] Eve
    What is this? Bullying?
[09:10] Kinue
    I heard you met Kaoruko Iijima from Koran.
[09:15] Eve
    And?
[09:16] Kinue
    If you want to fight her,
[09:18] Kinue
    you'll need to be able to
    overcome a handicap like this.
[09:22] Eve
    You're testing me?
[09:24] Kinue
    Interpret it however you want.
[09:26] Eve
    Sand wedge.
[09:28] Ichina
    O-Okay!
[09:30] Eve
    I've got a whole rainbow's worth of bullets.
[09:35] Kinue
    Show me you're more than just talk.
[09:44] Ichina
    Eve, you're too high!
[09:46] Ichina
    Aim for the—
[09:47] Eve
    Don't tell me to aim for the right.
[09:49] Eve
    If you want to be my caddie.
[09:53] Eve
    You're going to get hit.
[09:55] Kinue
    If you can get it out, that is, right?
[09:58] Eve
    When people want a fight,
    I always give them more...
[10:01] Eve
    ...than they bargained for.
[10:04] Eve
    This is my yellow bullet!
[10:07] Eve
    Escaping...
[10:10] Eve
    Yellow Bullet!
[10:15] Ichina
    Nice!
[10:20] Kinue
    Good work.
[10:21] Kinue
    But that angle and speed
    would've taken you off the green.
[10:28] Kinue
    Again.
[10:30] Eve
    You little...
[10:34] Eve
    Escaping...
[10:36] Eve
    Yellow Bullet!
[10:50] Kinue
    You're getting too tense.
[10:52] Eve
    When did you—
[10:54] Ichina
    I didn't even see her move...
[10:56] Kinue
    Amawashi could get out of this easily.
[11:00] Kinue
    Of course...
[11:04] Kinue
    So can I.
[11:06] Ichina
    The sand barely moved!
[11:08] Ichina
    Her touch is so soft and delicate...
[11:14] Ichina
    Right in front of the pin.
[11:16] Kinue
    Mizuho Himekawa would've
    gotten it in the hole.
[11:20] Eve
    Who's that?
[11:23] Kinue
    Mizuho Himekawa.
[11:24] Kinue
    Nadaminami Girls' unbeatable ace.
[11:28] Kinue
    The strongest Japanese high school golfer.
[11:30] Kinue
    She won the All-Japan
    Women's Amateur last year.
[11:34] Kinue
    The wall you're about
    to challenge is very tall.
[11:38] Kinue
    Do you think you can jump over it?
[11:41] Eve
    Jump over it?
[11:43] Eve
    Of course not.
[11:47] Eve
    Escaping...
[11:50] Eve
    Yellow Bullet!
[12:13] Ichina
    It went in!
[12:16] Eve
    I'll blast right through that wall...
[12:19] Eve
    ...with my bullets!
[14:13] Eve
    You're a sadist, you know that?
[14:16] Kinue
    I get that a lot.
[14:18] Kinue
    Now, finish by playing
    a 1 hole match with me.
[14:22] Eve
    I'll make you wish you'd never said that.
[14:24] Kinue
    I return those words to you.
[14:30] Kinue
    The most important part of a shot is how you transfer
    your power through the club and into the ball.
[14:42] Ichina
    That's past 220!
[14:44] Ichina
    With that swing speed...
[14:49] Kinue
    Are you just going to swing
    as hard as you can again?
[14:52] Eve
    Yeah, I sure am.
[14:55] Eve
    You need to load the
    bullet with gunpowder...
[14:58] Eve
    Or it won't fly!
[15:07] Eve
    More! More!
[15:11] Eve
    Pass through the wall!
[15:17] Eve
    How about that?
[15:18] Kinue
    Do you think a shot like
    that will throw me off my game?
[15:23] Eve
    I see.
[15:26] Kinue
    For the second shot,
[15:29] Kinue
    there's a hill going right
    diagonally across the green.
[15:32] Kinue
    I aim... for the far left of the green!
[15:45] Kinue
    Now the chance of a birdie goes way up.
[15:48] Eve
    I don't like playing that way.
[15:50] Eve
    If you ask me, you gave
    up your chance at an eagle.
[15:59] Eve
    Just aim for the cup.
[16:02] Eve
    That's the golf I've always played.
[16:07] Ichina
    Eve, aim for the top half of the green.
[16:11] Ichina
    Just smash it in.
[16:14] Eve
    Now you're getting it.
[16:16] Ichina
    You're easy to understand.
[16:19] Kinue
    Yes, that's right.
[16:22] Kinue
    I didn't spend the last
    three days teaching you golf.
[16:27] Kinue
    I wanted to see your
    resolve... and your light...
[16:37] Kinue
    I'm a weed.
[16:39] Kinue
    No matter how much effort I put in,
[16:42] Kinue
    I'll never be more than "very good."
[16:45] Kinue
    I wanted to be the person
    he wanted me to be...
[16:55] Kinue
    I overdid it so much,
    I destroyed my left elbow.
[17:00] Kinue
    I doused the light I was given.
[17:09] Kinue
    So show me...
[17:12] Kinue
    That you and Amawashi are different!
[17:15] Kinue
    You are the chosen,
    born with a light of your own...
[17:20] Kinue
    And a strong will that can never be broken.
[17:24] Kinue
    You'll trample on a weed and keep going...
[17:29] Kinue
    And I am that weed.
[17:38] (Flashback) Amuro
    Alright.
[17:39] (Flashback) Amuro
    She's a diamond in the rough. Go polish her.
[17:42] (Flashback) Amuro
    But don't go too far.
[17:44] (Flashback) Kinue
    No, I will.
[17:46] (Flashback) Amuro
    Do you intend to quit golf?
[17:50] (Flashback) Kinue
    Coach, thank you for spending so much
    effort on a talentless person like me.
[17:57] (Flashback) Kinue
    It's thanks to you that
    I was able to jump this high.
[18:03] (Flashback) Kinue
    The doctors told me that even if my
    left elbow gets better, it may come back.
[18:10] (Flashback) Kinue
    I can't... jump any higher.
[18:15] (Flashback) Kinue
    I'll entrust the dream I can
    never have to Amawashi and Eve!
[18:24] (Flashback) Amuro
    Alright.
[18:26] (Flashback) Amuro
    But I want you to stay
    on as captain of the golf club.
[18:29] (Flashback) Amuro
    I need you here.
[18:32] (Flashback) Kinue
    I will... I will!
[18:40] Amuro
    Kazuhiko, I'm a monster.
[18:44] Amuro
    I forced her to hurt herself,
    to let that girl win.
[18:50] Amuro
    But I want that girl to win,
    no matter what...
[18:53] Amuro
    For that to happen, I'll...
[18:57] Gozo
    I see.
[18:58] Gozo
    You've made your choice, then.
[19:01] Amuro
    Yes. I'm sorry it took so long.
[19:04] Gozo
    Jinguji was a good golfer, wasn't she?
[19:08] Amuro
    It's entirely my fault.
[19:11] Gozo
    I'll be expecting a win at the championship.
[19:14] Amuro
    Of course.
[19:20] Amuro
    Everyone, gather up.
[19:23] Amuro
    I'm going to announce our
    players for next month's
[19:28] Amuro
    All-Japan Girls High School
    Golf Doubles Championship.
[19:30] Amuro
    The first player will be
    Aoi Amawashi from year 1.
[19:34] Aoi
    Thank you, sir!
[19:35] Haruka
    Coach!
[19:36] Amuro
    Just so everyone's clear,
    I chose her for her golfing ability.
[19:41] Amuro
    Not who her family is.
[19:45] Amuro
    Is there a problem?
[19:46] Haruka
    No, nothing.
[19:48] Amuro
    The second is...
[19:51] Kinue
    I apologize for being late.
[19:55] Amuro
    The second player will be
    Evangeline F. Kimishima.
[20:00] Girls
    No way!
[20:01] Ichina
    Whoa!
[20:02] Eve
    What?
[20:04] Kinue
    You're going to the championship.
[20:06] Ichina
    R-Really? Isn't this awesome, Eve?
[20:09] Eve
    Yeah...
[20:11] Kinue
    Now you can fight...
[20:13] Kinue
    both Kaoruko Iijima from Koran
    and Mizuho Himekawa from Nada.
[20:19] Eve
    That sounds fun.
[20:21] Aoi
    Let's do this, Eve.
[20:23] Amuro
    Still, I'm sure some of you
    are doubtful that Evangeline,
[20:28] Amuro
    who just joined, is the right choice.
[20:31] Amuro
    Amawashi, Eve.
[20:32] Amuro
    Go to the practice hole
    and play a 1 hole match.
[20:35] Amuro
    Play a game that impresses
    the other members.
[20:38] Aoi
    Yes, sir.
[20:39] Amuro
    Show me your power.
[20:40] Eve
    Sure thing.
[20:45] Eve
    It's been a long time.
[20:47] Eve
    But we can finally play.
[20:49] Aoi
    You just disappeared on me!
[20:51] Eve
    So did you!
[20:59] Amuro
    Just start.
[21:02] Aoi
    Who gets honor?
[21:04] Eve
    Let's both shoot at the same time.
    It can be a driving contest.
[21:09] Eve
    The 48-incher here, huh?
[21:12] Eve
    You're serious, huh?
[21:13] Aoi
    So are you.
[21:17] Aoi
    Now let's go, Pakkun...
[21:19] Eve
    Direct strike...
[21:22] Eve
    Blue Bullet!
[23:08] Aoi
    That sure was a close
    birdie for you, huh, Eve?
[23:11] Eve
    A birdie's a birdie!
[23:12] Eve
    Don't hassle me just 'cause
    you lost the driving contest.
[23:16] Aoi
    I-I hadn't warmed up 'cause
    I wasn't expecting a match...
[23:19] Eve
    Your 48-incher's crying.
[23:24] Aoi
    I'm better close to the pin.
[23:27] Eve
    Well, that's not what we were doing.
[23:28] Ichina
    Will a pair like this...
[23:30] Aoi
    Eve, do you not like me?
[23:30] Amane
    ...be able to win?
[23:32] Eve
    I don't like you or dislike you.
[23:34] Aoi
    What does that mean?
[23:35] Eve
    Right, right.
[23:36] Aoi
    Why are you so mean?
[23:38] Eve
    Eve?

[23:40] Amane
    Saotome, are Aoi and Eve okay together?
[23:43] Ichina
    Amawashi is one thing,
    but Eve's aggressive...
[23:45] Ichina
    She already picked a fight
    with another school!
[23:47] Amane
    More Birdie Birdie next week!
