    all the powerhouse teams,
SIGN    This story is a work of fiction. All persons and organizations are imagined. 
    The kabaddi and game rules which appear in this anime are drawn from the original work.
[00:10] Takenaka
    he was never taken down once.
    A master of evasion.

    Rising Youth Kicker
SIGN    How to get on the starting lineup
[00:17] Takenaka
    Yoigoshi-kun! Perfect timing!
[00:20] Takenaka
    I'm the coach for the soccer team, Takenaka.
    Can we talk for a minute?
[00:25] Yoigoshi
    Is this an invite?
SIGN    Noukin High School, First-year
    Yoigoshi Tatsuya
[00:27] Yoigoshi
    Sorry, but I've already been forced
    to decide on a team.
[00:30] Takenaka
    W-Wait, please!
[00:31] Takenaka
    Our soccer team absolutely needs
    "Yoigoshi the Unstoppable"!
[00:35] ---
    "Yoigoshi the Unstoppable"
[00:36] Yoigoshi
    "Unstoppable," huh?
[00:38] Yoigoshi
    When was that?
[00:42] guys
    Yay!
[02:19] Yoigoshi
    The kabaddi team.
SIGN    Men
          Who Connect
[02:20] Yoigoshi
    I have been forced to become a member.
SIGN    Kabaddi Team First-Year
    Azemichi Soma
[02:24] Azemichi
    Yeah! Stopped the raid again!
[02:26] Yoigoshi
    Damn it! You musclebound morons!
[02:29] Date
    No, I am still far from true muscularity.
SIGN    Kabaddi Team Second-Year
    Date Shinji
[02:32] Misumi
    Iura-san, why don't you let him
    practice some defense, too?
SIGN    Kabaddi Team Second-Year
    Misumi Kyohei
SIGN    Kabaddi Team Third-Year
    Iura Kei
[02:37] Iura
    Yes, well, I have been telling him
    he should work on some defense, but...
[02:41] Yoigoshi
    I refuse to do defense.
[02:43] Misumi
    Right, then!
[02:45] Misumi
    We're on defense one more time!
[02:47] Date
    Yeah!
[02:48] Iura
    Azemichi, you watch the mid-line!
[02:51] Yoigoshi
    The offense in kabaddi,
    just like football and rugby,
[02:54] Yoigoshi
    gets targeted for tackles
    by a large number of players.
[02:57] Yoigoshi
    Even so, there is a reason
    I do not want to play defense.
[03:00] Yoigoshi
    And the reason is... this!
[03:03] Yoigoshi
    This incomprehensible formation
    where the defense hold hands!
[03:07] Yoigoshi
    I never, ever want to
    hold hands with other guys!
[03:10] Misumi
    What? You have some kind
    of aversion to holding hands?
[03:13] Date
    They're rugged and hard,
[03:14] Date
    but once you summon the courage
    and take hold, you'll soon get used to it.
[03:17] Yoigoshi
    Stop talking about it that way!
[03:19] Iura
    Holding hands, or making a chain,
    is common practice in kabaddi defense.
[03:23] Iura
    To counter a solo raider,
    you have a "pack" defense.
[03:26] Iura
    When capturing a single, agile raider,
[03:29] Iura
    you need a "chain" to block
    their path or surround them.
[03:34] Yoigoshi
    Chains, huh?
[03:36] Yoigoshi
    Sounds oppressive.
[03:38] Yoigoshi
    Ridiculous.
[03:40] Yoigoshi
    Connections with people should
    be light, like on the net.
SIGN    Raider
    Yoigoshi Tatsuya
[03:44] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi.
[03:45] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[03:45] Yoigoshi
    The basic rules of kabaddi are simple.
[03:48] Yoigoshi
    The offense chants "kabaddi"
    while entering the opponents' court.
[03:52] Yoigoshi
    If they can touch an opposing player
    and return to their side of the court,
[03:55] Yoigoshi
    they gain points.
[03:57] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[03:57] Yoigoshi
    But in actual practice,
    it can be surprisingly complex.
SIGN    Defense
    Iura Date Misumi
[04:00] Yoigoshi
    The raider is alone and
    the defense works as a pack...
[04:03] Yoigoshi
    It would be better to say
    that they're one giant animal.
[04:05] Yoigoshi
    After a touch, trying to return
[04:07] Yoigoshi
    to your territory down
    the middle is a fool's plan...
[04:10] Yoigoshi
    You'll end up surrounded on both sides.
[04:13] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[04:14] Yoigoshi
    Which means...
[04:15] Yoigoshi
    the one I should try to tag
    is the jerk with the perm!
[04:18] Yoigoshi
    I'll narrow down the chances
    for a tackle to the left side!
[04:21] Yoigoshi
    Even if the lightweight
    with the narrow eyes grabs me,
[04:22] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi!
[04:23] Yoigoshi
    there is little danger
    of being taken down.
[04:24] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi!
[04:25] Yoigoshi
    This should work.
[04:27] Iura
    It was a good plan, but...
[04:29] Iura
    it was so good, it was easy to read.
[04:31] Yoigoshi
    He's so fast!
[04:33] Yoigoshi
    But for a raider,
    this is the same as a touch!
[04:36] Yoigoshi
    If I can make it back to my
    territory, that's one point!
[04:38] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi...
[04:39] Misumi
    You're not getting back!
[04:40] Date
    We're not giving you a point!
[04:42] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi...
[04:46] Yoigoshi
    Oh! This... isn't good!
[04:52] Iura
    This just shows that lighter guys
    can serve to slow you down.
[04:56] Iura
    Next, we'll have Azemichi practice raiding.
[04:58] Azemichi
    Sir!
SIGN    Raider
    Azemichi Soma
[05:02] Azemichi
    Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
[05:04] Azemichi
    Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
[05:05] Yoigoshi
    Idiot. Shouting like that.
[05:08] Yoigoshi
    You only get to attack for as long
    as one breath lasts, you know?
[05:11] Azemichi
    Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
[05:11] Yoigoshi
    You're wasting oxygen.
    Get taken down like the fool you are.
[05:15] Azemichi
    Kabaddi! Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
[05:16] Yoigoshi
    That'll never work.
[05:17] Yoigoshi
    I couldn't even touch them, so you...
[05:20] Yoigoshi
    What?
[05:21] narrator
    Struggle!
[05:23] Iura
    We're in the struggle!
[05:24] Misumi
    Stop him!
[05:25] Date
    Don't let him get back!
[05:26] Azemichi
    Kabaddi! Kabaddi! Kabaddi—
[05:29] Azemichi
    Kabaddi! Kabaddi...
[05:30] Iura
    He's not stopping.
SIGN    2nd-3rd-Years
SIGN    Azemichi
[05:34] Azemichi
    Raid successful!
[05:36] Azemichi
    And the struggle was with two people,
    so I get two points!
[05:38] Azemichi
    All right!
[05:40] Yoigoshi
    How is this possible?!
[05:41] Azemichi
    Were you watching the line, Yoigoshi?
[05:43] Yoigoshi
    Oh, uh, I have something in my eye...
[05:45] Azemichi
    Liar!
[05:47] Head teacher
    This is it. The kabaddi team.
SIGN    Gymnasium 1
[05:49] Takenaka
    I wish you, as head teacher,
    would try to persuade him, too.
[05:51] Takenaka
    He should be playing soccer!
[05:53] head teacher
    That's true.
[05:55] head teacher
    As you say, coach, for the
    sake of our school, he is-
[05:57] Azemichi
    It went in, I tell you! The tip!
[06:00] Yoigoshi
    Yeah, but after getting
    forced to the ground.
[06:02] Azemichi
    Even if you're not upright,
    as long as it's in, it's in!
[06:04] Azemichi
    You are seriously such a tightass!
[06:07] Yoigoshi
    What?
[06:07] Yoigoshi
    You're the one who's satisfied
    with just the tip of one finger!
[06:10] Yoigoshi
    What kind of man are you?
[06:12] Misumi
    Now, now. Yoigoshi, you try
    being the attacker again.
[06:15] Date
    Or would you rather come
    and hold hands with us?
[06:17] Yoigoshi
    I would not!
[06:19] head teacher
    Shall we try another day?
[06:21] Takenaka
    Yes, let's.
[06:26] Azemichi
    I only managed a successful raid twice.
[06:29] Misumi
    Yoigoshi, you didn't succeed
    even once, did you?
[06:32] Date
    Don't worry about it.
[06:35] Iura
    Since you're exhaling the whole time,
    raiding is tough, right?
[06:38] Yoigoshi
    Y-Yeah.
[06:40] Yoigoshi
    After doing all that useless shouting,
    he should be more tired, but
[06:43] Yoigoshi
    he's succeeding at raids.
[06:46] Yoigoshi
    Are you sure you're not
    taking it easy on him?
[06:50] Iura
    With Azemichi, he's doing
    so many unnecessary things,
[06:53] Iura
    it makes it harder for us.
[06:54] Yoigoshi
    Huh?
[06:55] Yoigoshi
    His being inefficient
    makes it harder to play him?
[06:58] Yoigoshi
    What is he talking about?
[06:59] Yoigoshi
    Now that I think about it,
    what did I used to do in soccer?
[07:03] Yoigoshi
    The basic method of evading
    opponents is the feint.
[07:06] Yoigoshi
    And to win,
[07:08] Yoigoshi
    you need to carefully observe
    the guys you can't stand.
[07:12] Yoigoshi
    The musclehead, Date.
[07:14] Yoigoshi
    He doesn't have speed,
    but he does have the most power.
[07:17] Yoigoshi
    If he catches me, even alone,
    it's a certain take-down.
[07:20] Yoigoshi
    I should try to avoid confronting him.
[07:23] Yoigoshi
    The jerk with the perm, Misumi.
[07:24] Yoigoshi
    He doesn't have the power Date does,
    but his reach is slightly longer.
[07:28] Yoigoshi
    He's the type that wants
    to go for the tackle.
[07:30] Yoigoshi
    It's a risk, but he's easier
    to mark for a touch.
[07:32] Yoigoshi
    And then...
[07:34] Yoigoshi
    the problem is the narrow-eyed guy, Iura.
[07:37] Yoigoshi
    He's got less speed and power than me, but
[07:39] Yoigoshi
    he can read movements, get ahead,
    and slow me down.
[07:42] Yoigoshi
    A real nuisance.
[07:44] Yoigoshi
    Think! How can I attack this?
[07:47] Iura
    He's doing so many unnecessary things,
    it makes it harder for us.
[07:50] Yoigoshi
    That's it! I can see it!
[07:52] Yoigoshi
    A way to evade the chains!
[07:54] Azemichi
    You look like you're thinking
    pretty hard there, Yoigoshi!
[07:57] Azemichi
    Quit being such a stranger!
    You can ask me about anything!
[08:00] Azemichi
    I mean, I am your senior
    in kabaddi, after all!
[08:04] Yoigoshi
    I have nothing to ask an idiot.
[08:06] Azemichi
    I'm sorry! I got a little cocky there.
[08:09] Azemichi
    Instead of talking about idiots and stuff,
[08:11] Azemichi
    we could, you know, talk about kabaddi—
[08:12] Yoigoshi
    But there was something
    to be learned from an idiot.
[08:15] Yoigoshi
    I won't lose this time.
[08:18] Azemichi
    Did you find some surefire way to win?
[08:20] Azemichi
    Tell me! Tell me!
[08:22] Yoigoshi
    An idiot wouldn't be able to do it.
[08:24] Azemichi
    An idio— I won't know until I try!
[08:29] Iura
    Okay! Break's over!
[08:32] Iura
    We'll split into defense and offense.
    Yoigoshi is raiding first.
[08:35] Iura
    Azemichi, you be referee, okay?
[08:37] Azemichi
    Sir!
[08:41] Iura
    Keep your guard up.
[08:42] Iura
    It seems Yoigoshi has
    some kind of secret plan.
[08:47] Yoigoshi
    That's right.
[08:49] Yoigoshi
    Let me show you my hat trick!
[08:53] guys
    Hat trick?
[08:55] Azemichi
    What's a "hat trick"?
[08:58] Iura
    In soccer, it's when a single player
    scores three goals in one game.
[09:02] Iura
    This is a bluff.
[09:04] Iura
    The risks of touching all
    three of us are too high.
[09:08] Iura
    To get three points, he'd have to
    lure us in, let himself get caught,
[09:12] Iura
    and, in that moment,
    return to his territory.
[09:14] Iura
    Touching us each individually is too risky,
[09:17] Iura
    and his breath wouldn't
    last long enough anyway.
[09:20] Iura
    No, wait...
[09:22] Iura
    With that bluff, we'd all be careful
    not to get lured too close together.
SIGN    Raider
    Yoigoshi Tatsuya
[09:26] Iura
    That could be what Yoigoshi is aiming for.
[09:29] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[09:31] Iura
    A sort of feint to keep himself
    from being easily tackled.
[09:34] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi!
[09:36] Yoigoshi
    Good!
[09:37] Yoigoshi
    Even when I step in some,
    they aren't coming to grab me.
[09:39] Yoigoshi
    The diversion is working!
[09:42] Iura
    I don't dislike a cunning plan.
[09:42] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[09:45] Iura
    I'll keep it to myself, though.
[09:47] Yoigoshi
    This guy... Has he noticed
    the trap I've set?
[09:50] Yoigoshi
    But, I noticed something, too.
    The reason I lose...
[09:54] Yoigoshi
    The difference between Azemichi and myself.
[09:56] Azemichi
    Kabaddi. Kabaddi!
[09:59] Yoigoshi
    The cant. Repeating "kabaddi" over and over.
[09:59] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[10:01] Yoigoshi
    If it stops, the raid fails.
[10:04] Yoigoshi
    It's more important to keep a
    constant volume than to be loud, but...
[10:09] Yoigoshi
    my voice only gets louder
    when I go in for a touch.
[10:13] ---
    Kabaddi!
[10:15] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[10:15] Yoigoshi
    Which means they were using
    my cant to read my movements
[10:17] Yoigoshi
    and get ahead of me!
[10:20] Yoigoshi
    Keep the cant steady.
[10:21] Yoigoshi
    That alone will help to keep them
    from reading me,
[10:23] Yoigoshi
    but I'm going to deliberately
    make my cant unsteady...
[10:27] Yoigoshi
    and use it as a feint!
[10:34] Yoigoshi
    Did he read me?
[10:37] Iura
    Targeting me was your mistake.
[10:39] Iura
    The cant should hold steady naturally,
    like breathing in yoga.
[10:44] Iura
    Realizing that and deliberately
    going for the opposite...
[10:46] Iura
    That kind of twisted thinking...
    is something I do, too.
[10:50] Iura
    It was fun... your two-layered trap.
[10:54] Iura
    But that isn't enough to escape the chain—
[10:56] Azemichi
    You're in the struggle!
[10:58] Iura
    What? I haven't touched him yet—
[11:01] narrator
    Struggle!
[11:04] Iura
    His foot?
[11:05] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[11:06] Iura
    He was targeting Date from the start?
[11:08] Yoigoshi
    It isn't a two-layered trap.
    I told you, didn't I?
[11:11] Yoigoshi
    This will break through the chain...
[11:15] Yoigoshi
    a triple-layer trap, the hat trick!
[11:18] Misumi
    Stop him!
[11:18] Yoigoshi
    I kicked him with my return leg.
    There's no way you're catching me!
[11:25] Yoigoshi
    Did you see that? My first win!
[11:28] Yoigoshi
    Kaba—
[11:29] Yoigoshi
    You can't be serious!
[11:32] Azemichi
    Yoigoshi!
[11:33] Misumi
    You okay? That was a huge noise.
[11:38] Yoigoshi
    Oh, no!
[11:40] Yoigoshi
    I stopped my cant, but I haven't
    made it back to my territory yet!
[11:48] Misumi
    Be more careful about your shoelaces.
[11:52] Yoigoshi
    Yeah. It won't be a problem.
[11:53] Yoigoshi
    It's been a while since I tripped
    on my own. I was surprised is all.
[11:57] Date
    But, who'd have thought you'd go
    for a touch with your feet.
[12:01] Iura
    Did you really make it back
    to your territory? I couldn't tell.
[12:06] Yoigoshi
    O-Of course I did!
[12:08] Yoigoshi
    I definitely—
[12:09] Azemichi
    You were in.
[12:12] Azemichi
    Finally, right? Little by little...
    he made it in.
[12:17] Misumi
    What's with the weird phrasing?
[12:20] Iura
    If that's the ref's call,
    there's nothing else to say.
[12:23] Iura
    But, it looks like you need
    to get some proper shoes.
[12:27] Iura
    Let's see... Tomorrow, after school.
[12:31] Iura
    We'll all go together to buy
    kabaddi shoes for Yoigoshi.
[12:35] Iura
    It will serve well both for safety
    and to deepen our friendship, right?
[12:39] Iura
    We can call it "The Kabaddi
    Team Friendship Shopping Plan"!
[12:43] Date
    Nice!
[12:44] Misumi
    The name of the plan is very literal.
[12:47] Azemichi
    I'm super looking forward to it!
[12:49] Yoigoshi
    Shopping... with these guys?
[13:01] Yoigoshi
    Okay.
[13:02] (Flashback) guys
    So, tomorrow, after school,
    we'll come get you.
[13:07] Yoigoshi
    I'll go home before they get here.
[13:09] Yoigoshi
    I don't want to go shopping
    with guys like them.
[13:15] Misumi
    Let's go!
[13:21] teacher
    Careful on your way home!
[13:22] Iura
    Yes, sir.
[13:23] Yoigoshi
    So you play the nice guy out here, huh?
[13:26] Iura
    It's not a bad thing, is it?
[13:28] Iura
    Besides, there are a lot
    of powerhouse sports teams here,
[13:32] Iura
    so we need to make
    as many friends as we can.
[13:34] Iura
    Otherwise, our team budget
    and position will be in danger.
[13:37] Yoigoshi
    Well, we don't have many members,
    and we are playing kabaddi, after all.
[13:42] Yoigoshi
    A team bag?
[13:43] Yoigoshi
    It's so ugly.
[13:46] Misumi
    Don't worry! We'll make one
    for you, too, Yoigoshi!
[13:49] Azemichi
    S-Sorry for making a show
    of them in front of you.
[13:51] Yoigoshi
    It's not like I want one!
[13:53] Azemichi
    But, they make you really feel like
    we're friends! Aren't they great?
[13:56] Azemichi
    It's proof we're a team!
[14:00] Yoigoshi
    Even with the same bag and uniform,
    sometimes you aren't a team.
[14:04] Azemichi
    Huh?
[14:05] Yoigoshi
    At any rate, I hate all this
    "trying to get along" stuff.
[14:08] Yoigoshi
    It's irritating.
[14:10] Iura
    You say that, but you're very diligent
    about coming to practice, aren't you?
[14:14] Iura
    Speaking of which, Yoigoshi,
    you haven't done any livestreams lately.
[14:17] Yoigoshi
    Huh?
[14:18] Yoigoshi
    If I weren't stuck with you guys,
    I'd do one in a flash.
[14:21] Iura
    Even though livestreamers get flamed a lot?
[14:24] Yoigoshi
    If you tried it, you'd see why it's fun.
[14:27] Iura
    "If you tried it," huh?
[14:29] Yoigoshi
    What?
[14:32] Iura
    I was just thinking
    that kabaddi is the same way.
[14:41] Yoigoshi
    They're selling more kinds than I expected.
[14:43] Iura
    We'll use the team budget to buy them,
    so make sure to choose well.
[14:45] Misumi
    They're playing footage from a tournament!
[14:48] Azemichi
    Wow!
[14:49] Yoigoshi
    This shape is like those other ones...
[14:51] Iura
    You see them in combat sports, right?
[14:53] Iura
    Kabaddi has the same form as a combat sport.
[14:55] Iura
    The closest is wrestling.
[14:58] Iura
    So, a thin sole and tall ankle
    is probably the most common design.
[15:03] Yoigoshi
    Enough people play
    that they can hold tournaments?
[15:06] Yoigoshi
    I thought of it as a bit
    of gag sport, but...
[15:09] Date
    Well, it doesn't compare to the
    major sports. It's pretty small-scale.
[15:13] Misumi
    It makes guys like our senpais
    who have played forever very happy.
[15:17] Yoigoshi
    Senpais... plural?
[15:19] Misumi
    We have one more third-year.
[15:21] Yoigoshi
    Oh...
[15:23] Yoigoshi
    I see. It's a tough world, huh?
[15:26] Misumi
    Huh?
[15:31] Yoigoshi
    Because it's a minor sport,
    there aren't as many opportunities,
[15:34] Yoigoshi
    so there are a ton of
    desperate players, right?
[15:36] Yoigoshi
    It wasn't the same field, but I fought a bunch
     of different kinds of guys at nationals.
[15:41] Yoigoshi
    Whether it was a powerhouse or a weak team,
[15:44] Yoigoshi
    the most difficult ones to play
    were the desperate ones.
[15:49] Misumi
    That hurts to hear. I mean,
    I underestimated them, at first, right?
[15:53] Date
    And we always lose in the first round.
[15:56] Iura
    The "desperate ones," huh?
[15:59] Iura
    Now I think about it,
    no matter how much he complains,
[16:01] Iura
    I've never seen Yoigoshi slack off.
[16:04] Misumi
    But, it seems like a real waste.
[16:06] Misumi
    Quitting when you're at the national level.
[16:09] Date
    Why did you quit soccer?
[16:12] Yoigoshi
    Why?
[16:13] (Flashback) Yoigoshi
    Why don't you pass to me?
[16:15] (Flashback) Yoigoshi
    I'm running out in front!
[16:19] (Flashback) teammate
    You're always racing ahead on your own,
[16:22] (Flashback) teammate
    at a speed where we can't catch up.
[16:30] Misumi
    Yoigoshi?
[16:33] Yoigoshi
    I already told you.
    I've always hated sports.
[16:39] Azemichi
    Yoigoshi. Are you gonna
     buy those shoes?
[16:41] Yoigoshi
    Huh? What're you grinning about?
[16:44] Azemichi
    Well, it's just that those
    are the same as the ones I bought!
[16:48] Azemichi
    Why are you putting them back?!
[16:52] Yoigoshi
    Okay. I guess I'll get these.
[16:56] Yoigoshi
    Where did Iura run off to?
[16:59] basketball 2
    Hold on! One more time!
[17:02] basketball 2
    Come on, one hundred fifty kilos!
[17:06] Yoigoshi
    They're from our basketball team?
[17:11] basketball 1
    Huh? Hey, if it isn't Yoigoshi!
[17:13] basketball 2
    What's this? Shopping?
[17:15] Yoigoshi
    Who's this? Acting all familiar.
[17:17] basketball 1
    So the rumors are true, huh?
[17:20] Yoigoshi
    Rumors?
[17:21] basketball 2
    They say the soccer genius
    has joined some weird team.
[17:25] basketball 1
    I don't really know much, but it's "kabaddi."
    That hilarious one, right?
[17:31] basketball 1
    Is kabaddi actually an impressive
    sport or something?
[17:33] basketball 2
    Hey, look at that! Look!
[17:35] basketball 2
    See the bag?
[17:36] basketball 2
    That little cueball must be
     in the kabaddi club, too!
[17:38] basketball 2
    He's tiny! What a total joke!
[17:44] Yoigoshi
    Hey, Azemichi. Come here a minute.
[17:46] Yoigoshi
    Let's have a match. I found something fun.
[17:49] Azemichi
    Sure.
[17:51] Yoigoshi
    This measures the strength of your back.
[17:53] Yoigoshi
    It says the average
    for a high school first-year is...
[17:55] Yoigoshi
    about one hundred forty kilos.
[17:57] Azemichi
    I just pull, right?
[18:01] basketball 1
    What? You're going to
    go up against him with this?
[18:03] basketball 1
    You shouldn't pick on the weak, you know—
[18:08] basketball 2
    T-Two hundred?!
[18:09] basketball 1
    Are you a pro wrestler or something?
[18:12] Yoigoshi
    You want to have a go, too?
[18:14] basketball 2
    N-No, thank you. We're fine.
[18:20] Yoigoshi
    Don't diss.
[18:24] Azemichi
    It says I got two hundred fourteen
    kilos! Your turn, Yoigoshi!
[18:28] Yoigoshi
    Huh? We're done with that.
    I feel all refreshed.
[18:31] Azemichi
    You said we were having a match!
[18:33] Azemichi
    If you don't do it, I'll look
    like an idiot all on my own!
[18:43] Yoigoshi
    You are an idiot.
[18:44] Azemichi
    I am not an idiot!
[18:47] basketball 1
    The kabaddi team's insane.
[18:49] Iura
    You there, can I have a moment?
[18:53] basketball 2
    Huh? Who are you?
[18:59] Yoigoshi
    Hey.
[19:00] Iura
    Yes?
[19:00] Yoigoshi
    Those basketball guys were being
    super polite when we left.
[19:04] Yoigoshi
    What did you do?
[19:05] (Flashback) basketball
    Thank you for all your hard work!
[19:07] Iura
    Oh, nothing.
[19:09] Iura
    I just told them a little secret, that's all.
[19:12] Iura
    Like when we talked about livestreaming.
[19:13] Yoigoshi
    This guy...
[19:15] Iura
    They said they'd help us look
    for new members!
[19:18] Misumi
    We need seven members.
[19:21] Date
    When you don't have
    enough people on defense,
[19:23] Date
    it makes it hard to train on offense.
[19:25] Misumi
    If only Yoigoshi could play defense.
[19:28] Yoigoshi
    If I don't have to hold hands,
    I don't mind doing it.
[19:31] Misumi
    Right?
[19:32] Misumi
    You're kidding! What happened to you?
[19:34] Date
    Should we call an ambulance?
[19:35] Yoigoshi
    I'm not sick or hurt or anything!
[19:38] Yoigoshi
    It's just...
[19:41] Yoigoshi
    I can't stand getting beaten
    by that guy all the time.
[19:44] Yoigoshi
    Until I can win, I'll get
    a little more serious about this.
[19:51] Misumi
    You really are a sore loser, aren't you?
[19:56] Azemichi
    It's a text from a girl in my class.
[19:59] Azemichi
    "Will you introduce me to Yoigoshi-kun?"
     is what she wrote.
[20:02] Date
    This is the first time I've seen one of these.
[20:04] Misumi
    Oh, you little lady-killer!
[20:07] Misumi
    Oh, yeah. Yoigoshi, you got a girlfriend?
[20:11] Yoigoshi
    They only get in the way.
[20:13] Iura
    We've got so many bachelors here, it's sad.
[20:16] Date
    Misumi broke up recently, right?
[20:18] Misumi
    Boring. So, the only one
    with a girlfriend is...
[20:23] Misumi
    you, huh, Azemichi?
[20:26] Yoigoshi
    Huh?
[20:27] Misumi
    A girl out in the countryside, right?
[20:29] Misumi
    You may be far apart, but make sure
    you treasure your girlfriend, okay?
[20:32] Azemichi
    Sir! I'll do my best!
[20:34] Yoigoshi
    N-No... It's not like...
[20:37] Yoigoshi
    It's not unnatural, or anything.
[20:39] Yoigoshi
    For Azemichi to have a girlfriend, that's...
[20:41] Yoigoshi
    Having a girlfriend, I mean, that's...
[20:43] Yoigoshi
    I've never had one, but if I wanted one,
    I could have one right away anyway.
[20:46] Yoigoshi
    I'm not upset about this at all!
[20:49] Yoigoshi
    It's not at all like he's passed me up,
[20:51] Yoigoshi
    but I should check and see
    if he really does have a girlfriend.
[20:54] Yoigoshi
    That's only right!
[20:56] Yoigoshi
    D-Do you have a picture
    of your girlfriend?
[20:59] Azemichi
    I do, but...
[21:01] Azemichi
    It's sort of embarrassing.
[21:03] Yoigoshi
    I will kill you.
[21:05] Azemichi
    What are you angry about?
[21:06] Yoigoshi
    Just show me.
[21:09] Azemichi
    Here. This is her.
[21:11] Yoigoshi
    It's not important.
[21:14] Yoigoshi
    It's the kind of girl who would
    date a guy like him.
[21:17] Yoigoshi
    She's probably a cow reeking of potato—
[21:23] Yoigoshi
    Die!
[21:26] Azemichi
    Why?!
[21:27] narrator
    Struggle!
[21:28] Misumi
    Calm down, Yoigoshi!
[21:30] Misumi
    I was shocked at first, too, but...
[21:31] Yoigoshi
    Don't try to stop me!
[21:33] Yoigoshi
    For the sake of all men,
    I will kill him here and now!
[21:37] Date
    What kind of sense of duty is that?
[21:41] player 1
    Coach, are you serious?
[21:44] Takenaka
    You're both handsome. And you're tall!
[21:47] Takenaka
    You'll be fine!
[21:48] player 1
    Fine with what, Coach?
[21:50] Yoigoshi
    You! You!
[21:51] Azemichi
    What are you so angry about?
[21:52] Takenaka
    They're here. Go!
[21:54] Yoigoshi
    I'm talking about breaking up!
[21:55] Yoigoshi
    Long-distance relationships never work!
[21:57] Yoigoshi
    And with that height,
    I'm a better match anyway, right?
[22:00] Azemichi
    I'm not breaking up with her!
    Size has nothing to do with anything!
[22:04] Yoigoshi
    Size matters!
[22:04] player 1
    A l-lovers' quarrel!
[22:07] Takenaka
    I see. So, that's his type.
[22:10] Takenaka
    I'll have to try again.
[22:12] Narrator
    And so, the curtain closed on
    "The Kabaddi Team Friendship Shopping Plan."
