[00:06] soccer team 1
    They managed to close
    the gap to eight points.
[00:08] Takenaka
    It's hard to tell which
    way this game will go.
[00:12] ref
    Change courts! Souwa raiding!
[00:14] ref
    The game will resume with the second half!
[00:17] Rokugen
    Watch yourself, Takaya.
[00:19] Takaya
    Will do.
[00:21] Takaya
    Things are simple from here on out.
[00:24] Takaya
    We attack each other and
    the strongest beast wins.
[00:27] Takaya
    I'm going to sink you, Ojo-san.
[01:55] Takaya
    Kabaddi.
[01:56] Iura
    If you see an opening, go for a catch!
[01:58] Ojo
    Yeah.
[01:58] Takaya
    Kabaddi... Kabaddi!
[02:02] Takaya
    Well, I guess I wouldn't be able
    to touch him with a frontal attack.
[02:05] Takaya
    And this guy, more than being super-fast,
[02:08] Takaya
    seems like he can totally read all
    my moves and counters in advance.
[02:11] Takaya; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[02:12] Takaya
    If there's one advantage I have over
    Ojo-san, it's probably that I'm stronger.
[02:15] Takaya
    Should I let him catch me and shake him off?
[02:19] Takaya
    Come on. Here's some bait.
[02:20] ---
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[02:21] Takaya
    He's not coming? Maybe he's being wary.
[02:24] Takaya
    Then, another half-step.
[02:28] Takaya
    He matched the timing
    of my foot moving forward...
[02:30] Takaya
    As soon as he grabs me, I'll shake him off!
[02:35] Takaya
    Kabaddi!
[02:37] Narrator
    Struggle!
[02:40] Misumi
    He can reach all the way over here?
[02:43] Takaya; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[02:43] Takaya
    If he'd caught me, he'd have taken me down.
SIGN    Noukin    Souwa
[02:46] Takaya
    I won't be taken off guard.
[02:48] Takaya
    I'll start by sinking everyone around him.
SIGN    Takaya Ren
SIGN    Takaya Ren Fan Club
[02:49] Fan club
    Ren-kun, two points!
[02:52] Takaya
    Okay, time for defense!
[02:54] Ojo
    Kabaddi.
[02:56] Takaya
    He chased me?
[02:58] Takaya
    You little...!
[02:59] Ojo
    You were able to dodge that, huh?
[03:02] narrator
    Bonus!
[03:03] Rokugen
    He got the bonus point!
[03:05] Eikura
    He's coming in hungry!
[03:06] Kisaki; Eikura
    We're not letting you get back!
[03:08] Kisaki
    If we can't read his movement, then...
[03:10] Muroya
    we'll block all routes of escape!
[03:14] Takaya
    Okay! And I've got the outside covered.
[03:17] Ojo
    Kabaddi!
[03:17] narrator
    Struggle!
[03:20] Takaya
    He forced an opening?
[03:21] Takaya
    Through guys who are stronger than him?
[03:23] Rokugen
    Move, Takaya!

[03:29] Muroya
    What was that just now?
[03:31] Kisaki
    He was trying to get a touch on Takaya, too!
[03:34] Rokugen
    He didn't have skills like that before.
[03:37] Ojo
    Did you think you'd whittle
    away at our defense?
[03:42] Ojo
    That won't be possible.
SIGN    BACK: Misumi, Yoigoshi
[03:44] Misumi; Yoigoshi
    That's scary...
[03:47] Takaya
    There were people like this in swimming, too.
[03:49] Takaya
    People whose personalities and
    movements changed during a match.
[03:52] Takaya
    I'm feeling nostalgic.
[03:54] Takaya
    I sank all of those guys
    and became number one.

SIGN    Raid
    Souwa / Takaya
[04:01] Takaya; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[04:03] Iura
    So, he's going after Masato again? But...
[04:07] Iura
    How is he planning to get away?
[04:11] Ojo
    I can't read his line of sight.
[04:15] Takaya
    Kabaddi!
[04:16] Takaya
    Kabaddi!
[04:20] Takaya
    Kabaddi!
[04:23] Takaya
    Just one more centimeter.
[04:24] Yoigoshi
    Don't go forgetting me!
[04:28] Takaya
    Wha?!
[04:30] Takaya
    This is the good part! Quit interfering!
[04:37] narrator
    After that, the two raiders
    fought to take heads.
[04:41] narrator
    They each targeted the other team's ace.
SIGN    Noukin     Souwa
[04:44] narrator
    However, the difference between them
    has slowly become apparent.
[04:48] soccer team 1
    They're down to a four-point gap!
[04:50] Takenaka
    But how? There isn't much difference
    in the number of touches.
[04:54] Rokugen
    The issue is the success rate in bonuses.
[04:57] Rokugen
    In terms of having a feel for the size of
    the court, Ojo's understanding is superior.
[05:01] Rokugen
    The amount of sweat they've shed on the
    court is as different as night and day.
[05:05] Rokugen
    Referee! Time out!
SIGN    Noukin
SIGN    Souwa
[05:08] referee
    Souwa, thirty-second time out!
[05:14] Rokugen
    Do not give Ojo any more points!
[05:16] Rokugen
    Our defense will be absolute!
[05:17] Eikura; Kisaki; Muroya
    Sir!
[05:20] Rokugen
    What is it, Takaya?
[05:21] Takaya
    Nothing. It just seems like they're...
[05:24] Ojo
    What do you mean?
[05:27] Ojo
    I am asking you why I can't
    go out on the next raid, Kei.
[05:32] Iura
    It's very simple.
[05:34] Iura
    They're starting to get used to your movements,
    and they're wearing down your stamina.
[05:38] Iura
    The price for coming into the game
    early is demanding to be paid now.
[05:41] Ojo
    But, in the time we have left...
[05:44] Iura
    Yes. By rights, this is when you,
    our ace, should be on the court.
[05:48] Iura
    That is, if our ace had the kind
    of strong body that wouldn't break.
[05:53] Iura
    Raiders are constantly haunted by the
    possibility of a tackle from a blind spot.
[05:57] Iura
    Normally, you would be able to dodge,
    or you'd be able to fall safely.
[05:59] Iura
    But, not when you're fatigued.
[06:03] Ojo
    The fact that kabaddi is dangerous
    is just how things are.
[06:07] Ojo
    If you're afraid, you can't win.
[06:09] Iura
    Masato.
[06:10] Iura
    I'm not telling you to be
    afraid of being injured.
[06:14] Iura
    If they break you now,
    that's the end of the tournament, too.
[06:18] Iura
    Your dream! Our goals! All of that will end!
[06:22] Iura
    That is what I'm telling you to be afraid of!
[06:27] Ojo
    Kei...
[06:28] Misumi
    Senpai!
[06:30] Iura
    Sorry.
[06:31] Ojo
    It's fine.
[06:34] Ojo
    I just...
[06:36] (Flashback) Iura
    Then, why don't you help me win, too?
[06:39] (Flashback) Iura
    It's been six years since
    you scouted me, you know?
[06:44] Ojo
    I'm sorry. I understand now. But, I...
[06:48] Iura
    You were thinking that you needed to get
    Takaya out on this next raid, right?
[06:52] Ojo
    Yeah.
[06:53] Ojo
    We need to get him out this next turn,
[06:56] Ojo
    we'll run out of time and lose.
[06:58] Ojo
    And Takaya-kun isn't someone an
    average raider can take down.
[07:04] Ojo
    Yoigoshi-kun.
[07:06] Ojo
    You're going in my place.
[07:09] Ojo
    You're the one...
[07:12] Ojo
    who can take out Takaya Ren.

[07:16] referee
    End of time out!
[07:18] referee
    We will resume with Noukin raiding!
[07:21] Rokugen
    It's... not Ojo?
[07:24] soccer team 1
    Oh! Here comes Yoigoshi!
[07:27] Takenaka
    I've never seen Yoigoshi
    with that expression before.
[07:29] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[07:32] (Flashback) Iura
    Your dream! Our goals! All of that will end!
[07:37] (Flashback) Ojo
    You're the one...
[07:39] (Flashback) Ojo
    who can take out Takaya Ren.
[07:41] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[07:42] Yoigoshi
    As long as I win, that's enough.
[07:44] Yoigoshi
    That's what I thought, but...
[07:47] Takaya
    The wildness is gone. Or rather...
[07:52] Takaya
    it's more like it's burning inside him.
[07:55] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi!
[07:57] Takaya
    Coming for me, huh? Way too obvious.
[08:00] Takenaka
    He's transforming.
[08:02] soccer team 2
    Huh?
[08:03] Takenaka
    This is probably the first time
    Yoigoshi has experienced this...
[08:06] Takenaka
    Going out in place of the ace.
[08:08] Takenaka
    A rookie has been entrusted
    with an important role.
[08:11] Takenaka
    For the person with experience,
    there is nothing more frustrating.
[08:14] Takenaka
    Yoigoshi understands that.
[08:17] Takenaka
    That's why, as a rookie,
[08:19] Takenaka
    the only thing he can think
    about is helping the team win.
[08:23] Takaya
    The more desperate you get, the easier
    it is to read your movements.
[08:26] Takaya
    Why don't we just have some fun with this?
[08:28] Yoigoshi
    Shut up.
[08:32] Yoigoshi
    Sports have always been stupid.
[08:35] Yoigoshi
    Everyone wracks their brains like idiots,
    practices hard like idiots...
[08:40] Yoigoshi
    all so that they can win
    and celebrate like idiots!
[08:45] Yoigoshi
    That is why I...
[08:46] Yoigoshi
    will pull out every last thing
    I've learned from that idiot!
[08:49] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[08:50] Kisaki
    He's come pretty deep.
[08:51] Muroya
    You think we might be able to get behind him?
[08:53] Takaya
    Wait.
[08:54] Takaya
    He's planning to do a roll kick.
[08:57] Takaya
    Be ready to dodge it before you come in.
[08:59] Takaya
    His eyes are focused your way.
[09:01] Kisaki
    That was close!
[09:02] Muroya
    He switched his target?
[09:05] Takaya
    With a four-point gap, you want
    to score a lot of points, right?
[09:08] Takaya
    But if you miss, you'll be wide open.
[09:11] Takaya
    Lure him over.
[09:13] Yoigoshi
    The thing I can do is take
    everything I've done so far and...
[09:13] Yoigoshi; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[09:19] Kisaki; Muroya
    He's coming!
[09:24] narrator
    Struggle!
[09:27] Takaya
    Wha?!
[09:28] Takaya
    I'm his target?
[09:29] Takaya
    His line of sight was a feint!
[09:31] Takaya
    I'll stop you!
[09:34] Yoigoshi
    I dodged it! I can get back!
[09:37] Takaya
    You're not getting back!
[09:39] Yoigoshi
    He reached out to form a chain?
[09:42] Takaya
    Nice, Ei-chan!
[09:43] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi!
[09:44] Eikura
    Rokugen-san, finish him!
[09:45] Rokugen
    Leave it to me!
[09:47] Yoigoshi
    I always gave it my very best...
[09:50] Yoigoshi
    but I lost over and over.
[09:52] Yoigoshi
    That's why I...
[09:54] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi!
[09:59] Yoigoshi
    I will surpass my best!
[10:02] Yoigoshi
    Just a little further!
[10:10] Takenaka
    He got knocked completely into the air!
[10:13] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi!
[10:15] Takaya
    He's still keeping up the cant?
[10:18] Takaya
    I've sunk him so many times.
[10:20] Takaya
    I've shown him the difference
    in our strength over and over.
[10:22] Takaya
    Normally, he should have given up by now.
[10:25] Takaya
    But he's...
[10:27] Takaya
    What is this burning determination?!
[10:31] Yoigoshi
    Kabaddi!
[10:33] Takaya
    Give up! You're already outside the court!
[10:41] (Flashback) Takaya
    This is how you use long arms and legs.
[10:50] Yoigoshi
    Hey.
[10:52] Yoigoshi
    As a rookie, I've learned
    quite a lot from you.
[11:00] Yoigoshi
    I made sure to get Takaya out.
[11:03] Yoigoshi
    Let's win this, Senpai.

    Yeah.

[11:07] referee
    Two points to Noukin!

[11:13] Takenaka
    That man really is unbelievable.
[11:16] Takenaka
    The way he learns...
     His hunger is different!
[11:18] Takenaka
    He's an amateur who's only been
    playing kabaddi for a month, right?
[11:21] Takenaka
    Surely, even Souwa's carefree

SIGN    Raider
    Souwa / Rokugen
[11:36] narrator
    And so, Souwa's raid begins.
[11:39] Iura
    If Rokugen scores even one point,
    Takaya will come back.
[11:43] Iura
    For the sake of our final raid,
    we can't let him return.
[11:46] Rokugen
    There isn't much time.
    We need additional points.
[11:49] Rokugen
    There is still the possibility
    that Ojo will raid.
[11:52] Rokugen
    I must touch at least two people and
    return our defense to five players!
[11:57] Rokugen
    Kabaddi.
[11:59] soccer team 2
    This tension is insane.
[12:01] Takenaka
    The chances left are few,
[12:03] Takenaka
    but they do exist and his will
    to make good on them is strong.
[12:05] Takenaka
    Who will he target?
[12:10] Rokugen
    Kabaddi.
[12:12] Rokugen
    Ojo's legs still have life in them.
[12:14] Rokugen
    In that case, Noukin's last raider,
    thinking in terms of attack power,
[12:18] Rokugen
    will be one of those two.
[12:20] Rokugen
    That means that those two are unlikely
    to risk coming in for a catch!
[12:23] Rokugen
    I will smack down any half-hearted tackles.
[12:25] Rokugen
    If they lose their nerve and fall back,
    I will take the bonus!
[12:29] Rokugen
    What will you do, Noukin?
[12:31] Yoiogoshi
    He's way too focused on the captain!
[12:34] Rokugen
    Will you come to capture me,
    you frail raider?
[12:38] Yoigoshi
    He's not showing any sign of running...
[12:39] Misumi
    That jerk!
[12:40] Rokugen
    Kabaddi.
[12:42] Yoigoshi
    He's choosing who he's dodging!
[12:44] Misumi
    We need to take him down fast!
[12:46] Iura
    Don't panic!
[12:47] Iura
    Even if we only have one second left,
    once we start raiding,
[12:51] Iura
    the game continues until our raid is over.
[12:53] Iura
    Don't let Rokugen score! That's all
    you need to think about right now!
[12:56] Rokugen
    Kabaddi.
[12:57] ---
    Here he comes.
[13:01] Iura
    Hey.
[13:02] Iura
    I wasn't even looking at you.
[13:06] Iura
    You're not worried about me at all?
[13:09] Iura
    Rokugen, you were the same
    the first time we met.
[13:14] (Flashback) Rokugen
    Starting today, I'll be joining
    the selection practices.
[13:16] (Flashback) Rokugen
    I'm Rokugen Ayumu. I'm looking
    forward to training with you.
[13:20] (Flashback) coach
    He's a middle school first-year
     and just started kabaddi this spring.
[13:24] (Flashback) coach
    For now, we'll have him mix
    in with the second string.
[13:27] Iura
    I was the one with more
    experience in kabaddi.
[13:31] Iura
    A big guy had started playing on a whim...
[13:34] Iura
    That's what I thought.
[13:36] Iura
    And the truth was he knew
    next to nothing about kabaddi.
[13:40] backgrouond
    Kabaddi! Kabaddi, kabaddi!
[13:40] (Flashback) Rokugen
    What's a "raid failed" decision?
[13:42] (Flashback) Iura
    It's when a referee determines that it's
    impossible for the raider to return.
[13:46] (Flashback) Iura
    The word "struggle" originally meant
    just that, a struggle to get back.
[13:50] (Flashback) Iura
    Even if you're caught, as long as you
    keep fighting to get back to home ground,
[13:54] (Flashback) Iura
    the raid isn't over.
[13:56] Iura
    There was a reason Rokugen didn't have
    a deep understanding of the rules.
[14:01] Iura
    Up until that point, as soon as the
    opponent got caught, it was over.
[14:04] Iura
    He had never allowed anyone
    to struggle to get back.
[14:07] Iura
    That was the last day Rokugen
    practiced with the second string.
[14:14] (Flashback) second string 1
    Those guys on the first string
     really are on a different level.
[14:17] Iura
    There's such a clear, visible
    difference between us...
[14:21] Iura
    What should I do?
[14:24] Rokugen
    Kabaddi!
[14:25] Rokugen
    As I thought, Ojo isn't
    coming in to catch me!
[14:29] Date
    That's our raider!
[14:30] Misumi
    Don't touch him!
[14:31] Rokugen
    The antis' containment maneuvers are good.
[14:33] Rokugen; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[14:33] Rokugen
    At the winter tournament, they felt like a
    one-man team with a bunch of helpers.
[14:38] Rokugen
    I see you've helped them grow, Ojo!
[14:41] Ojo
    It wasn't me, Rokugen.
[14:44] Ojo
    The one who helped our team grow wasn't me.
SIGN    Noukin
SIGN    Souwa
[14:49] Iura
    It's already been more than thirty
    seconds since he started his cant!

    will be his real aim!

    Struggle!
[15:02] Misumi
    What?!
[15:03] Date
    He wasn't aiming for the raiders?
[15:06] Takenaka
    Two of them got touched!
[15:08] Rokugen
    If I targeted the raiders, I knew
    it would draw in the defense!
[15:12] Rokugen
    If I get two points here,
    then even if Ojo raids next,
[15:15] Rokugen
    we'll be able to push him back,
    though we'll pay a price for it.
[15:18] Rokugen
    Those two will not be able to catch up to me!
[15:21] Ojo
    We can catch up to you.
[15:24] Yoigoshi; Ojo
    We will stop you!
[15:28] Rokugen
    Wh-Why are the raiders...
[15:31] Rokugen
    I thought that, for the sake of the
    last raid, they would avoid risk!
[15:36] Rokugen
    Kabaddi...
[15:39] Rokugen
    If I don't persevere now,
    how can I call myself captain?
[15:41] Rokugen; background
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[15:42] Rokugen
    I am finished with my selfishness.
[15:44] Rokugen
    I will return... to my teammates!
[15:47] ---
    Kabaddi, kabaddi...
[15:48] Yoigoshi
    It's useless! It's exactly like the plan.
    We can't stop him!
[15:52] Yoigoshi
    Iura!
[15:53] Rokugen
    All the raiders?
[15:57] Iura
    I've thought it over for years...
[16:01] Iura
    How can I catch up to him?
[16:03] Iura
    The methods I arrived at were
    to analyze the enemy's thinking,
[16:06] Iura
    and to take action in unexpected ways.
[16:09] Iura
    The only thing that can make up
    for a difference in ability...
[16:12] Iura
    is strategy!
[16:14] Misumi
    We'll finish him!
[16:17] Rokugen
    Kabaddi...
[16:18] Rokugen
    I will return...
[16:20] Rokugen
    As long as my heart... As long
    as my heart doesn't waver!
[16:23] Rokugen
    As long as the struggle continues,
    the raid isn't over!
[16:29] Rokugen
    My arm!
[16:29] ---
    Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi...
[16:31] Rokugen
    How far ahead has this man read?
[16:34] Rokugen
    Let go!
[16:36] Iura
    I'm giving everything I've got
    against just one of your arms.
[16:40] Iura
    It hardly seems worth it, right?
[16:42] Iura
    This is cruel.
[16:44] Iura
    In the end, I feel keenly the
    difference in our abilities.
[16:48] Iura
    Still, the reason I can keep fighting...
[16:54] Iura
    It must be because,
    despite all the painful things,
[16:58] Iura
    the fun of kabaddi outweighs them, right?
[17:02] Yoigoshi
    Iura!
[17:03] Ojo
    Kei!
[17:04] Misumi
    Iura-san!
[17:05] Rokugen
    Kabaddi... Kabaddi...
[17:07] Rokugen
    I can't hear anything...
[17:10] Rokugen
    "Ojo's friend."
[17:10] Rokguen; background
    Kabaddi... Kabaddi...
[17:12] Rokugen
    I'll ask him myself. I must ask him.
[17:17] Rokugen
    I must ask the name of the powerful
    opponent who defeated me.
[17:23] Takenaka
    Th-They stopped him.
[17:25] Ojo
    The raid.
[17:26] Yoigoshi
    Let's go!
SIGN    Noukin
SIGN    Souwa
[17:28] ref
    Souwa, raid failed!
[17:30] ref
    One point to Noukin!
[17:32] ref
    And time is up!
[17:34] ref
    End of match!
[17:36] Yoigoshi
    The game... is over?
[17:39] crowd
    Yeah! Yay! All right!
[17:42] Yoigoshi
    We had fifty seconds left!
[17:44] Yoigoshi
    There's no way his cant
    could have lasted that long!
[17:46] Ojo
    Stop, Yoigoshi-kun.
    A fifty-second cant isn't impossible.
[17:50] Ojo
    It was a mistake on our part.
[17:52] Rokugen
    No matter how strong the opponent,
    they cannot beat time.
[17:55] Rokugen
    Noukin, you timed the Souwa lona for
    the end of the first half, didn't you?
[18:00] Rokugen
    I employed your use of time as a reference.
[18:05] Yoigoshi
    This is where it was supposed to start.
    We'd defeated Takaya and Rokugen.
[18:10] Yoigoshi
    When is it?
[18:11] Ojo
    Huh?
[18:12] Yoigoshi
    When is the tournament?
[18:14] Ojo
    Yoigoshi-kun...
[18:19] Takenaka
    Take a good look.
[18:21] Takenaka
    The strong, and those who will become
    strong, their hearts are different.
[18:25] Takenaka
    They keep anger and conflict deep inside,
    and keep their eyes focused ahead.
[18:29] Takenaka
    It isn't easy, but they know that if
    they don't, they won't be able to win.
[18:34] Takenaka
    They continue to suffer until
    they stand at the summit,
[18:37] Takenaka
    like people who have been cursed.
[18:41] Iura
    The tournament is in August.
[18:42] Yoigoshi
    August... Three months from now, then.
[18:46] Ojo
    For us third-years, it's our last tournament.
[18:49] Ojo
    We can't afford to lose.
    We must claw our way up.
[18:53] ref
    With a score of 32 to 31, Souwa wins! Bow!
[18:57] players
    Thank you for the game!
[19:04] Iura
    Aren't you offering your
    handshake to the wrong person?
[19:07] Rokugen
    This is no mistake.
[19:09] Rokugen
    My formidable opponent,
    I did not know you had such strength.
[19:13] Rokugen
    Please, tell me your name!
[19:15] Iura
    The fact he doesn't have any
    ill-intent is infuriating.
[19:18] Iura
    I'm "Ojo's friend."
    Make sure you remember it.
[19:22] Rokugen
    Huh? That's not a name, is it?
[19:25] Ojo
    My name is Iura Kei. Nice to meet you.
[19:28] Iura
    What do you think you're doing?!
[19:29] Rokugen
    Iura, is it?
[19:30] Ojo
    Iura Kei is shy.
[19:33] Yoiogoshi
    Getting all chummy with the enemy.
[19:37] Yoigoshi
    Takaya...
[19:39] Takaya
    Don't make such a scary face. Here.
[19:43] Yoigoshi
    There's no need.
[19:43] Takaya
    Really?
[19:44] Takaya
    You're a cocky one, aren't you?
[19:47] Takaya
    Do you want to beat me?
[19:49] Yoigoshi
    Of course I do!
[19:50] Takaya
    What'll you do if you beat me?
[19:52] Takaya
    Some other strong opponent
    will probably show up.
[19:54] Takaya
    You'll beat him, and it'll just repeat.
[19:57] Yoigoshi
    I'll think about that
    after I become number one!
[20:01] Takaya
    Then come and chase me with
    everything you've got.
[20:04] Takaya
    I've got someone I'm chasing, too.
[20:06] Takaya
    Here's hoping this isn't the
    last time you get touched by me.
[20:09] Takaya
    So you've got no intention of
    catching me when you're on defense?
[20:11] Takeya
    You say some dumb things, Rookie-kun.
[20:15] Yoigoshi
    It's not "Rookie-kun."
    The name's Yoigoshi Tatsuya.
[20:17] Yoigoshi
    You should at least remember the
    name of the next person to beat you!
[20:20] Takaya
    Well, you're free to say
    whatever you want, right?
[20:23] Takaya
    Tattsun.
[20:24] Yoigoshi
    Cut it out! That makes it
    sound like I'm a little kid!
SIGN    Takaya Ren
[20:26] Takaya
    That's fine, isn't it?
[20:27] Yoigoshi
    It is not fine!
[20:28] Takaya
    Tattsun!
[20:32] Yoigoshi
    Takaya scored 27 points.
[20:35] Yoigoshi
    The captain scored 23 points.
[20:38] Yoigoshi
    I only scored seven points.
[20:41] Yoigoshi
    On days I lose, I never
    feel like I can sleep.
[20:44] Yoigoshi
    Saying that the weak tried their
    hardest is just pretty words.
[20:47] Yoigoshi
    A loss is a loss.
[20:48] Yoigoshi
    If this were a tournament,
    it would be the end!
[20:51] Yoigoshi
    Damn it!
[21:01] Yoigoshi
    What are you doing?
[21:03] Azemichi
    I practiced a ton,
    but I couldn't do anything.
[21:07] Azemichi
    When our team was catching up,
    when you were accomplishing so much,
[21:12] Azemichi
    I just couldn't be fully happy.
[21:14] Yoigoshi
    Are you stupid?
[21:16] Yoigoshi
    Not being able to execute what you
    practiced during a real match is common.
[21:20] Yoigoshi
    You might be able to use a
    third of your strength. Or not.
[21:24] Yoigoshi
    Since you don't know any other sports, your
    awareness in this area is undeveloped.
[21:28] Yoigoshi
    Losing just means the other guys did more.
[21:32] Azemichi
    You really are amazing...
[21:34] Yoigoshi
    Of course I am.
[21:36] Yoigoshi
    I was once a child prodigy,
    a genius, unstoppable...
[21:39] Yoigoshi
    an elite called by many different names.
[21:42] Yoigoshi
    Why is a person like me playing kabaddi?
[21:46] Azemichi
    Why?
[21:49] Yoigoshi
    Who do you think the first person
    to stop the "Unstoppable" was?
[21:59] Yoigoshi
    If you lose, you bring my name down, too.
[22:01] Yoigoshi
    If you have time to be depressed,
    then you should practice.
[22:05] Azemichi
    I really am glad I started kabaddi.
[22:10] Azemichi
    Starting now...
    Azemichi Soma won't lose anymore!
[22:14] Azemichi
    Come on, let's run, Yoigoshi!
[22:21] Yoigoshi
    You little...
[22:22] Azemichi
    I-It wasn't on purpose!
[22:24] Yoigoshi
    You fall in, too!

    In the new team's first practice
    match, a match against Souwa,
[22:30] narrator
    they lost by one point.

    But, little by little...
    they are moving forward.
