[00:06] Ojo
Well... That wasn't any
good at all, Yoigoshi-kun.
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.
[00:11] Iura
Yoigoshi's raid success rate is about
70% when he's returning with one point.
[00:16] Iura
With two points, it's 30%, and he's almost
never returned with three or more points.
[00:21] Ojo
If you can't get points as an anti,
[00:23] Ojo
you need to get a whole bunch of points
on raids to increase that success rate.
[00:26] Azemichi
Captain, what about me?
[00:28] Ojo
Oh... Soma, you're...
[00:31] Ojo
You're doing okay.
Just keep working hard like this.
[00:33] Azemichi
Huh?
[00:35] Misumi
Hear that?
[00:36] Ojo
And you, Kyohei...
[00:38] Ojo
you focus too much on the catch
and become a target for a touch.
[00:41] Ojo
On the other hand, Shinji, you're too
cautious. It makes you slow on the catch.
[00:46] Ojo
You both need to watch each
other carefully as you move.
[00:48] Date; Misumi
Yes, sir!
[00:51] Date
I'll follow your lead next time.
[00:53] Misumi; dialogue fades away
Okay. Why don't we try...
[00:54] Iura
I think Azemichi is still pretty
rough around the edges, too.
[00:57] Ojo
Yeah. But that's fine.
[01:01] Ojo
Right now, he's good just
having fun playing kabaddi.
[01:03] Misumi; background
Why do you space out like that?
[01:04] Ojo
Kyohei and Shinji learned what it's
like to lose at the winter tournament.
[01:05] Yoigoshi; background
Sorry.
[01:08] Ojo
And Yoigoshi-kun has likely experienced
that on a much higher level.
[01:08] Misumi; background
Is it really that hard?
[01:10] Yoigoshi; background
When it happens,
I can't seem to recover well.
[01:13] Iura
There are things only people who know the
pain of losing can understand.
[01:18] Iura
I'm sorry, but I have no intention of
deliberately setting Azemichi up to lose.
[01:21] Ojo
I feel the same. If you can win,
that's the best anyway.
[01:25] Iura
Then, why don't you help me win, too?
[01:27] Iura
It's been six years since
you scouted me, you know?
[01:30] Ojo
Yeah.
SIGN The Match
Begins!!!
[03:05] Yoigoshi
He's fast and he can take down raiders.
[03:08] Yoigoshi
Somehow, I just can't see myself
catching up to the captain.
[03:14] Yoigoshi
If you're here to invite me
to a team, I refuse the offer.
[03:16] Ojo
Hello.
[03:18] Yoigoshi
C-Captain?
[03:19] Ojo
I thought I'd share some of
my nikujaga stew with you.
[03:27] Yoigoshi
What's up with this situation?
[03:29] Ojo
How is it? I'm pretty proud
of how it turned out.
[03:32] Yoigoshi
It's good.
[03:34] Ojo
I'm so glad.
[03:36] Yoigoshi
But, I mean, it really is good.
[03:40] Ojo
About nationals... What kind of
people get to go to that world?
[03:46] Ojo
I've never won a single game.
Maybe it's presumptuous of me to ask...
[03:51] Yoigoshi
The people who get to go to nationals...
[03:55] Yoigoshi
are the people who seriously give
everything they've got to get there.
[04:00] Yoigoshi
That's the kind of thing
people usually say, anyway.
[04:03] Ojo
Huh?
[04:04] Yoigoshi
The reality is, I think only a
handful of geniuses make it there.
SIGN "Yoigoshi the Unstoppable" Advances to the Final 4!
[04:08] Yoigoshi
And...
[04:09] Yoigoshi
in spite of everyone making a big
deal out of me being "unstoppable,"
[04:11] Yoigoshi
I only made it to the final four.
[04:14] Yoigoshi
When did you start playing kabaddi, Captain?
[04:16] Ojo
It was so long ago, I don't remember now.
[04:20] Yoigoshi
Same here.
[04:21] Ojo
In middle school, a kabaddi
association reached out to me,
[04:25] Ojo
and I went overseas a number of times.
[04:27] Yoigoshi
Overseas?
[04:29] Ojo
It's nowhere close to the
same scale as soccer.
[04:31] Ojo
It was an Asia-only tournament.
[04:33] Yoigoshi
But that still pretty much makes
him a representative of Japan!
[04:37] Ojo
We got annihilated.
[04:39] Ojo
And we'd been pretty confident, too.
[04:42] Ojo
There's always someone better.
[04:44] Ojo
That's something you come to understand
completely if you play sports.
[04:48] Ojo
But you keep playing anyway.
[04:50] Yoigoshi
It's no fun if you don't win, is it?
[04:52] Ojo
Well, yeah. No one thinks losing is fun.
[04:56] Ojo
Everyone wants to stand at
the very top, if they can.
[05:00] Ojo
As kabaddi slowly spreads through Japan,
[05:03] Ojo
I'll win my way to the top with the
teammates I practiced alongside...
[05:06] Ojo
That's the goal that I have
held within me all this time.
[05:13] Ojo
Let's do it through kabaddi.
[05:15] Ojo
You wanted it, too, didn't you, Yoigoshi?
[05:18] Ojo
Number one in Japan.
[05:21] Yoigoshi
I couldn't even beat you.
[05:23] Ojo
Was losing the match frustrating?
[05:26] Yoigoshi
Of course it was!
[05:28] Ojo
I'm the one who's frustrated.
[05:30] Yoigoshi
Huh?
[05:31] Ojo
It's nothing. Sorry for staying so late.
[05:34] Ojo
I'll head off now.
[05:36] Yoigoshi
Huh? Okay. Thanks for the food.
[05:39] Ojo
Not at all.
[05:45] Iura
Hey!
[05:47] Iura
I was running and I happened to see you.
[05:49] Ojo
If you train too much,
you'll wreck your body, you know?
[05:52] Iura
I'm not you.
[05:55] Iura
What did you and Yoigoshi talk about?
[05:57] Ojo
Hm? Our dreams and soccer and things...
[06:02] Iura
Didn't I mention it? He said he
fought with his teammates and quit.
[06:06] Ojo
Something like that.
[06:08] Iura
Getting him to wear a jersey
was a major struggle.
[06:12] Iura
He said teammates were annoying.
[06:14] Ojo
A long time ago, you said
the same thing, Kei.
[06:20] Ojo
I'd like to have him play in a match once.
[06:22] Iura
A practice match?
[06:24] Ojo
Yeah.
[06:25] Iura
Our opponents would have to be...
[06:27] Iura
a school that would play us five-on-five,
a team without many players.
[06:32] Ojo
How about Souwa? They're close to us, right?
[06:34] Iura
They're a powerhouse school that made
the Kanto region final four last year.
[06:37] Iura
They won't...
[06:39] Iura
Wait.
[06:40] Iura
This year, that guy is captain, isn't he?

So, the guys on the first string
are headed overseas, huh?
[06:47] (Flashback) 2nd string A
The world team is on a different level.
[06:49] (Flashback) 2nd string B
Next time, I'll be going, too.
[06:52] (Flashback) Rokugen
Ojo!
[06:53] (Flashback) Rokugen
Hurry up!
[06:54] (Flashback) Ojo
I'm going now, Kei.
[06:56] (Flashback) Iura
Yeah. Go take your beating and come back!
[06:59] (Flashback) Rokudan
Was that a friend of yours, Ojo?
[07:02] (Flashback) Ojo
Yeah. We've been friends
since elementary school.
[07:05] (Flashback) Rokugen
A guy from the second string, huh?
[07:08] Ojo
Kei? Kei!
[07:10] Iura
What is it?
[07:11] Ojo
It's unusual for you to space out like that.
[07:13] Iura
I was thinking about the training schedule.
[07:16] Ojo
Your lies don't work on me, Kei.
[07:19] Ojo
They're a powerhouse school.
[07:20] Ojo
And it's not like we don't know them.
I know it'll make you self-conscious.
[07:24] Iura
That goes for both of us.
[07:25] Iura
Masato isn't someone you can
lower your guard around, is he?
[07:28] Ojo
I suppose so...
[07:30] Ojo
I sent him a text just now.
[07:34] Ojo
Being on the world team comes in handy, huh?
[07:36] Ojo
We split up so we could fight each other.
[07:40] Ojo
He will absolutely accept the invitation.

[08:41] Takaya
And I'm always the fastest anyway.
[08:48] Takaya
Kabaddi. Kabaddi.
[08:54] narrator
Struggle!
[08:56] Kisaki
His reach is insane!
[08:58] Murotani
When Takaya is raiding, you have to give up
the bonus line and fall back, or else...
[09:02] Takaya
Nope, not doing this.
[09:03] Kisaki
Huh?
[09:04] Takaya
Rokugen-san, please, get in here.
[09:07] Takaya
When they're this slow,
it messes with my rhythm!
[09:10] Kisaki
You little...
[09:11] Takaya
Since I can cant for three times as long
as most people, it's already super easy.
[09:15] ---
Kabaddi...
[09:16] Rokugen
We have a set rotation.
[09:18] Takaya
This isn't any fun.
[09:21] Takaya
And I mean, the thing is...
[09:22] Takaya
I came up on land with the excitement
of a water creature evolving, you know?
[09:27] Rokugen
This isn't like when you were a swimmer.
[09:30] Rokugen
This involves teamwork.
[09:33] Takaya
But from the sounds you're making,
Rokugen-san, I can tell you're excited.
[09:38] Rokugen
My self-control fails me.
[09:40] Takaya
That's natural. I mean, facing off against
a powerful opponent is fun, isn't it?
[09:45] Takaya
It's boring when your opponent is weak.
[09:48] Eikura
I'll switch out.
[09:49] Eikura
I hate to say it, but he's the
real thing in kabaddi, too.
[09:56] Takaya

Guess I'd better dive in for real.

When?
[11:07] Ojo
This weekend.
[11:09] Ojo
We're playing one of the Kanto
region's top four, Souwa High School.
[11:12] Ojo
It'll be five-on-five.
[11:13] Yoigoshi
Kanto top four right off the bat, huh?
Nice work getting that set up.
[11:16] Ojo
I know their captain, you see.
[11:20] Iura
Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[11:21] Yoigoshi
Are they strong?
SIGN Strong and Steady
[11:23] Ojo
Strong enough that when you think of
kabaddi in Tokyo, you think of them.
[11:27] Ojo
They've had a kabaddi team since before
the tournament was established.
[11:30] Ojo
They have a lot of members and many of
them have fully developed physiques.
[11:34] Ojo
They'd been in a bit of a slump lately,
[11:36] Ojo
but since Rokugen from the world team
joined, they've gotten stronger again.
[11:40] Ojo
They made it to the final four last year
after their ace raider joined.
[11:44] Ojo
It may be a practice match, but those
two will definitely be playing.
[11:54] Takaya
It really is totally different!
[11:55] Takaya
It really is fun!
[11:57] Takaya
Hey, Rokugen-san!
[11:59] Takaya
Between me and this Ojo,
which one is stronger?
[12:03] Rokugen
Ojo.
[12:04] Takaya
No hesitation.
[12:07] Takaya
I'm eager to face him.
[12:10] Rokugen
He's just gotten out of the hospital,
so he'll probably be on the bench.
[12:13] Rokugen
If he does play, it'll probably
only be in the final stages.
[12:15] Takaya
Huh? But...
[12:17] Takaya
If we get forty points in the first half,
he might come out earlier, right?
[12:23] Takaya
Okay, time for practice!
Everyone, get on the court!
[12:25] Takaya
What're you taking a break for?
[12:27] Kisaki
You told us to get out!
[12:29] Takaya
You're better than nothing.
[12:30] Kisaki
Okay. You're dead!
[12:33] Rokugen
He's inconsistent, but our
beast isn't just talk.

I'm planning to wolf down your team, Ojo.

Do you have someone?
[12:53] Rokugen
A beast who can take us on?
[12:58] Yoigoshi
Special training, huh?
Our opponents must be pretty crazy.
[13:02] Ojo
Yoigoshi-kun, you're going to wrestle with
their ace raider, Takaya, and beat him.
[13:06] Ojo
On top of having the same kind
of reach and speed as you,
[13:08] ---
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[13:09] Ojo
he can keep up the cant for an unusually
long time, giving him more time to raid.
[13:13] Ojo
According to the data, it can be
as much as a minute and a half.
[13:16] Yoigoshi
It's only one breath!
[13:17] Yoigoshi
Usually, the cant only goes for
about thirty seconds, right?
[13:20] Ojo
He'll be calm and take his time to attack.
[13:24] Ojo
Getting only one point
per raid makes him antsy.
[13:28] Ojo
Yoigoshi-kun, I'm going to teach you a
whole bunch of techniques for scoring.
[13:32] Ojo
Watch closely... and learn.
[13:36] Yoigoshi
Yes, sir!
[13:41] Ojo
We're the Noukin High School kabaddi team!

[14:18] Yoigoshi
Is that Souwa's captain? They seem
like they get along pretty well.
[14:21] Iura
Is that how it looks?
[14:23] Ojo
Thanks for having us today.
[14:27] Yoigoshi
Huh?
[14:28] Rokugen
Taking a break because
of an injury? Pathetic.
[14:31] Rokugen
With a captain who can't even look after
himself, I feel sorry for your team.
[14:36] Ojo
We've got a lot of really capable
guys on our team, you see.
[14:39] Ojo
Even if I'm not standing around arrogantly
issuing commands, they won't slack off.
[14:43] Date
The air is crackling over there.
[14:45] Rokugen
But my juniors' game sense is...

an odd number on defense,
[17:42] Iura
you don't need to be part of the chain.
[17:43] Iura
Stay nimble and dodge them.
[17:45] Yoigoshi
Got it!

[17:47] Takaya
I'm gonna nail it right off the bat, okay?
[17:50] Rokugen
Don't let your guard down. They have
a guy who's clearly well-built.
[17:54] Yoigoshi
Are you coming for me, ace raider?
[17:56] Yoigoshi
He's about the same height as me, but...
[17:59] Takaya; background
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[18:00] Yoigoshi
he feels a lot bigger.
[18:03] Yoigoshi
Guys, is this how you
felt going up against me?
[18:06] Takaya
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[18:10] Azemichi
What is that pose?
[18:12] Takaya
Kabaddi...

Struggle!
[18:18] Takaya
Kabaddi!
[18:22] Yoigoshi
Hey, you're pretty fast!
[18:25] Takaya
Kabaddi.
[18:32] narrator
Struggle!
[18:36] Date
Misumi got taken down?
[18:37] Iura
Bonus line!
[18:39] Iura
He'll take the point!
[18:41] soccer player 1
Bonus line?
[18:43] Takenaka
It seems that if he crosses that line
in the back, he gets another point.
[18:47] soccer player 1
Really...
[18:49] Takaya
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[18:55] Takaya
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[18:58] Iura
He hasn't stopped the cant!
[19:00] Iura
Misumi! Go stop his raid!

Oh, dear. Just two points?
[19:08] referee
Red numbers 3 and 5, out!
SIGN Noukin OUT
Misumi, Azemichi
[19:12] Azemichi
Sorry.
[19:13] Yoigoshi
Why'd he push him back just now?
[19:13] Misumi
We'll get the next one.
[19:15] Iura
When the opponent tries to continue the raid,
the guys who got touched push him out.
SIGN Souwa
SIGN Noukin
[19:20] Iura
It's so that their teammates who haven't
been touched don't get targeted.
[19:23] Souwa F
They still seem to be talking basics.
[19:26] Souwa G
What's with him?
He's huge, but he's a rookie?
[19:29] Takenaka
I see. So, the two who were
touched leave the court.
[19:34] Yoigoshi
I'll go raid. You guys are so stiff,
you won't be any match for them.
[19:38] Misumi
Who are you talking about?
[19:40] Yoigoshi
If I get two points,
you guys can come back, right?
[19:45] Yoigoshi
Sorry your break's gonna be so short.
[19:47] Takaya
He's so cool!
[19:49] Ojo
It's too early for that yet, Yoigoshi-kun.

Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[20:02] Takenaka
You can say this about most sports,
[20:04] Takenaka
but the thing you need most
in a game is momentum.
[20:07] Takenaka
If you can gain momentum,
[20:09] Takenaka
it's easier to achieve miracles
that exceed your abilities.
[20:13] Takenaka
Of course, you do risk failure,
[20:15] Takenaka
but he's always been a player who's
good at creating momentum.
[20:19] Kisaki
He comes in pretty hard, but I
don't feel like I can get him.
[20:19] ---
Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[20:22] Murotani
Is it just a bluff so he can aim
for the point from the bonus line?
[20:27] Yoigoshi
Kabaddi...
[20:28] Kisaki; Murotani
We won't let you!
[20:29] Takenaka
No matter the sport...
[20:32] Takenaka
the importance of momentum doesn't change.
[20:35] Takenaka
Right?
[20:47] narrator
Struggle!
[20:48] Takenaka
Yoigoshi the Unstoppable.
[20:52] Yoigoshi
I got three of them!
[20:56] Kisaki
A roll kick?
[20:57] Murotani
He was aiming for the defense
to gather in one place!

[21:09] Ojo
That was amazing. He made it
seem like it was only natural.
[21:13] Ojo
But he only succeeded at that
about once in ten times.
[21:16] Yoigoshi
Come on back, you scaredy cats.
[21:17] Misumi
Can't you just let me praise
you for once, you numskull?
[21:22] Iura
Things have gotten quite a bit easier.
[21:25] Yoigoshi
You'd better show some gratitude.
[21:26] Iura
That's right. If you work
hard, things change.
[21:29] Yoigoshi
Huh?
[21:30] Iura
It's not a bluff anymore, right?
[21:34] Iura
Your hat trick.

Let me show you my hat trick!

A mere minute into the game...
[21:46] Souwa A
Is Noukin really a weak school?
[21:49] Souwa B
He got three points without grabbing anyone!
[21:52] narrator
opinions all around had clearly changed.
[21:55] narrator
Some had begun to see opponents
as true challengers...
[21:57] narrator
Some had made unforeseen mistakes,
[21:59] narrator
and felt pressured by the
achievements of their peers...
[22:02] narrator
Every gaze in the venue was
focused on a single rookie...
[22:08] Ojo
He doesn't waver at all.

...except for one.
