***SIGN*** Oka Shuzo
**[00:22] shi**
What's wrong, Shuzo?!
**[00:24] shi**
Don't shy away from my balls!
**[00:27] shu**
President Munakata...
**[00:28] shu**
I can't take anymore.
**[00:30] shi**
How many times must I tell you?
**[00:32] shi**
The moment you give up
is the moment it's over!
**[00:35] shu**
Then...
**[00:36] shu**
I think it might be over.
**[00:38] shi**
I see.
**[00:40] shi**
It's over, is it?
**[00:42] shi**
Then... *we* are over, too.
**[00:49] shu**
Y-You're horrible!
**[00:52] shi**
Can't anyone handle my balls at full power?
**[00:59] shi**
Attack!
**[01:04] en**
A falling leaf, huh?
**[01:06] atsu**
More accurately, a dead leaf.
**[01:07] ryu**
Huh?
**[01:08] ryu**
Aren't they called autumn leaves?
**[01:09] io**
No, it's fall foliage.
**[01:11] yu**
I guess a lot of things come
falling in autumn, huh?
**[01:15] yu**
For instance...
**[01:15] shi**
Attack!
**[01:21] yu**
Wow!
**[01:23] yu**
It really did come falling!
**[01:26] shi**
He received my ball...
**[01:29] shi**
That's him!
**[01:31] shi**
He's the one I've been looking for...
**[01:33] shi**
the diamond in the rough!
***SIGN*** Receive Love!
***SIGN*** Class 1-A
**[03:24] yu**
Excuse me,
**[03:26] yu**
but you're in my way.
**[03:27] yu**
I'm heading for the bathroom...
**[03:29] shi**
It doesn't look like it.
**[03:30] yu**
Huh? I'm at my limit, actually.
**[03:33] shi**
A man who can keep his cool when
his bladder's at the brink.
**[03:37] shi**
Exceptional mental discipline.
**[03:38] shi**
No wonder you could receive my balls.
**[03:42] yu**
"My balls"?
**[03:44] shi**
I am Muna! Kata!
**[03:46] shi**
Shigoki!
**[03:47] yu**
Munakata Shigoki?
**[03:49] shi**
President of the Binan High
School volleyball club!
**[03:52] yu**
Oh...
**[03:52] yu**
Oh, you got a ballet dancer
as your club advisor by mistake!
**[03:56] shi**
We've been working without
an advisor since then.
**[03:59] yu**
Really?
**[04:00] yu**
I'm glad to hear it!
**[04:01] yu**
Well, I'm off to the bathroom...
**[04:03] shi**
First, you must decide.
**[04:05] shi**
Will you join my volleyball club, or not?
**[04:08] yu**
Me?
**[04:09] shi**
If you join, I will let you pass.
**[04:12] yu**
Fine.
**[04:13] yu**
Since I'm really gonna wet myself...
**[04:15] shi**
You mean it?
**[04:15] yu**
I mean it!
**[04:17] yu**
So please, hurry...
**[04:17] shi**
I see!
**[04:18] shi**
Then...
**[04:19] shi**
I need four more!
**[04:20] yu**
I've got it handled!
**[04:22] shi**
Good. Go!
**[04:25] shi**
I have my team.
**[04:26] shi**
It's about to begin...
**[04:28] shi**
my burning youth of sweat and tears!
***SIGN*** Earth Defense Club (lol)
**[04:34] en**
Hey, can you spell it?
**[04:37] atsu**
Huh? Spell what?
**[04:38] en**
Volleyball.
**[04:40] atsu**
Yeah, I can spell that.
**[04:41] io**
That's middle-school level vocabulary.
**[04:44] ryu**
That spelling always tripped me up.
**[04:48] en**
What about you, Yumoto?
**[04:50] yu**
Huh? What grade do you think I'm in?
**[04:53] en**
Then what's the first letter?
**[04:55] yu**
It's "bareiball", so B, of course!
**[04:58] en**
I knew it.
**[04:59] yu**
Huh?
**[05:00] yu**
Was I wrong?
**[05:01] io**
It's not B. It's V.
**[05:03] io**
Incidentally, the proper
pronunciation is "volleyball."
**[05:06] yu**
Huh?
**[05:07] yu**
But thinking it started with
a B hasn't hurt me so far.
**[05:11] en**
Well, true enough.
**[05:13] ryu**
Oh, I know!
**[05:15] ryu**
Is that why it's a V-sign?
**[05:20] shi**
What are you all doing here?!
**[05:23] shi**
Time for training!
**[05:24] shi**
Everyone get together!
**[05:25] atsu**
Training?
**[05:26] en**
Who are you again?
**[05:28] shi**
I'm the president of the volleyball club!
**[05:30] shi**
Muna! Kata! Shigoki!
**[05:32] yu**
Oh, that's right!
**[05:34] yu**
As of today, the Defense Club
is joining the volleyball club!
**[05:37] all**
Huh?
**[05:38] yu**
That's weird.
**[05:39] yu**
Here we were, talking about volleyball,
**[05:41] yu**
and I completely forgot to mention it!
**[05:43] en**
You are so...
**[05:46] shi**
Anyway, get changed immediately!
**[05:48] shi**
Meet me in the gym in thirty seconds!
**[05:51] all**
S-Seriously?
**[05:57] shi**
Great job, Yumoto!
**[05:59] shi**
Receive all my balls!
**[06:02] en**
How did we end up in the
volleyball club again?
**[06:05] at**
How did Yumoto needing to
pee get us into this mess?
**[06:09] io**
Darn it...
**[06:10] io**
This is an entirely unprofitable venture.
**[06:14] ryu**
If only there were some
girls watching, at least...
**[06:16] shi**
Hey, you four!
**[06:17] shi**
What are you doing?
**[06:19] shi**
You need to receive my balls, too!
**[06:21] en**
His balls?
**[06:22] io**
I really wish he'd stop saying it
that way. I'm getting the shivers.
**[06:25] at**
The shivers? I wish.
**[06:26] at**
He's so on fire he's giving me heatstroke.
**[06:29] ryu**
His balls, huh?
**[06:31] ryu**
Okay,
**[06:32] ryu**
I'm gonna hit the hell out of them!
**[06:35] ryu**
Bring it!
**[06:37] shi**
Let's go!
**[06:38] shi**
See if you can even touch my balls!
**[06:44] shi**
What are you doing?
**[06:45] shi**
Don't take your eyes off my balls!
**[06:47] at**
He wants us to look at his balls.
**[06:49] en**
I'd really rather not.
**[06:50] io**
Um... can we just go?
**[06:53] en**
Yeah...
**[06:55] shi**
Quit chatting and get on the court!
**[06:58] shi**
All of you, receive my balls together!
**[07:07] shi**
Why are you evading?
**[07:09] shi**
This isn't dodgeball!
**[07:10] shi**
All of you, receive my balls!
**[07:12] yu**
Leave this to me!
**[07:16] en**
Why is he enjoying this so much?
**[07:19] ryu**
Maybe he likes playing with balls?
**[07:21] io**
At least say "he likes ball games."
**[07:26] yu**
Fight!
**[07:27] yu**
Fight!
**[07:29] shi**
Gaze at the setting sun!
**[07:31] shi**
All of you, race for the setting sun!
**[07:33] en**
Sunset on an embankment?
**[07:35] at**
The situation's so cliche I can't
even bring myself to protest.
**[07:47] shi**
A bath is the best after a
steamy day of club activities!
**[07:51] yu**
I agree!
**[07:53] en**
I can't take any more.
**[08:10] haru**
The sound of splitting wood...
**[08:12] aki**
Yes, as always...
**[08:16] haru**
What's wrong?
**[08:17] aki**
Someone's hanging around out there.
**[08:20] haru**
Who is that?
**[08:22] dada**
Dinner's ready.
**[08:25] dada**
Come eat, you two.
**[08:28] shi**
Listen up, you guys!
**[08:30] shi**
If you can recieve my balls, you'll
all be the best in the world...
**[08:32] shi**
no, the best on Earth!
**[08:35] yu**
*President!*
**[08:36] yu**
* How is the "best in the world"*
* different from the "best on Earth"?*
**[08:38] shu**
The president is taking a bath with them.
**[08:41] shu**
And I've never had a bath
with him, even once...
**[08:46] go**
Who are you?
**[08:48] go**
A peeping Tom?
**[08:49] shu**
N-No!
**[08:52] go**
Hey!
**[08:53] go**
Get back here!
**[08:55] go**
He's a quick one.
**[09:00] dada**
Today is toasted dumpling hot pot.
**[09:03] dada**
Go on, eat!
**[09:05] haru**
Why did you decide...
**[09:07] aki**
...to make toasted dumpling hot pot?
**[09:09] dada**
Atmosphere, perhaps? Or for the sound of it?
**[09:12] dada**
The "toast" part sounds
like "warm and toasty!"
**[09:15] haru**
"Toast" doesn't necessarily imply that.
**[09:18] aki**
It can also mean "doomed."
**[09:19] dada**
That's not what it's for!
**[09:22] dada**
I was hoping to warm up your
worn-out bodies and souls,
**[09:25] dada**
after an exhausting day of being idols.
**[09:30] dada**
Eat it and be grateful!
**[09:32] haru**
Warm us up...
**[09:33] aki**
...body and...
**[09:35] both**
...soul?
**[09:37] aki**
Go!
**[09:38] haru**
He's so strong! Go!
**[09:40] (Flashback) haru**
That man always warmed us up...
**[09:43] (Flashback) aki**
...so gently, body and...
**[09:46] (Flashback) both**
...soul...
**[09:51] dada**
Okay!
**[09:52] dada**
It's turned out great!
**[09:55] dada**
Now, eat, you two!
**[09:58] dada**
What's wrong?
**[10:01] haru**
Oh...
**[10:01] aki**
...it's nothing.
**[10:02] both**
Nothing at all!
**[10:05] haru**
By the way, there are no carrots—
**[10:07] aki**
—green peppers in there, right?
**[10:10] dada**
Dammit...
**[10:13] shi**
In the end, you're the only one left.
**[10:16] yu**
Huh?
**[10:17] yu**
You're right.
**[10:19] yu**
That's weird.
**[10:21] yu**
Where'd the others go?
**[10:24] en**
I wonder...
**[10:26] atsu**
Huh? Wonder what?
**[10:28] en**
In Japanese, volleyball is called haikyu.
**[10:32] at**
Yeah, and tennis is called teikyu, right?
**[10:36] at**
And soccer is called shukyu.
**[10:39] ryu**
But how do you write haikyu?
**[10:41] io**
It's the "hai" from "excrement"
with the character for ball.
**[10:44] io**
Excrement ball.
**[10:46] ryu**
The hai from excrement?!
**[10:48] ryu**
Then volleyball is crapping out a ball?
**[10:51] en**
Tennis is played on a court with a ball,
**[10:53] en**
so I can understand why it's
written as "court ball."
**[10:56] en**
And soccer is about kicking a ball,
**[10:58] en**
so I can see why it's written as "kick ball."
**[11:02] at**
But why is volleyball
**[11:04] at**
written with the hai from 'excrement'?
**[11:13] aki**
Here.
**[11:13] boys**
Thank you!
**[11:15] boy**
The Apes will worship you for life!
**[11:17] haru**
No problem.
**[11:18] aki**
Come back any time.
**[11:22] dada**
What kind of hot pot do you want today?
**[11:25] dada**
It's the season for crab,
so how about crab hot pot?
**[11:27] dada**
Or what about oysters?
**[11:30] aki**
Huh? He's...
**[11:33] har**
The one from yesterday...
**[11:38] shi**
Practice is over for today!
**[11:40] shi**
Yumoto, I can't believe
you received all my balls!
**[11:44] shi**
You are truly the diamond in the
rough I've been searching for!
**[11:48] shi**
I'll never let you go!
**[11:50] yu**
President! Thank you!
**[11:53] shu**
*"I'll never let you go"?*
**[11:55] shu**
*President...*
**[11:56] shu**
*I thought those words were only for me.*
**[12:00] shu**
*H-He'll pay.*
**[12:07] haru**
The aroma of jealousy.
**[12:09] aki**
I smell it.
**[12:11] [Messenger] sign**
The Roaring Prince
Battle Lover Sulfur
Finishing Move:
Sulfur Love Gaia
**[12:21] shu**
You'll pay.
**[12:23] shu**
President Munakata...
**[12:25] shu**
You said I was the only one...
**[12:28] shu**
You said you wouldn't ever let me go...
**[12:31] shu**
That time, too...
**[12:33] shu**
That time, too...
**[12:35] shu**
I really thought you'd try to stop me..
**[12:39] shu**
But that little...
**[12:47] haru**
So you really...
**[12:48] aki**
...can't stand it, eh?
**[12:50] shu**
Huh?
**[12:51] shu**
Who are you?
**[12:52] haru**
We're...
**[12:53] aki**
...on your side.
**[12:55] shu**
My side?
**[12:57] haru**
You should make him see your true worth...
**[12:59] aki**
...and regret what he's lost.
**[13:02] aki**
That you are a diamond in the rough.
**[13:04] aki**
A little polish would
make you shine even more.
**[13:06] both**
Why not show him that?
**[13:15] gora**
Yumoto, how's the water?
**[13:17] yu**
It's perfect, Gora!
**[13:20] shi**
Yes, thank you as always!
**[13:23] shi**
Why not join us?
**[13:26] gora**
No.
**[13:27] gora**
I'm not worthy to be there.
**[13:31] shi**
It's wonderful that your
brother is so humble.
**[13:36] shi**
This is a hot water that only
such humility can produce.
**[13:38] shi**
But Yumoto, you must be more aggressive
with my balls.
**[13:42] shi**
Come at them thinking,
"I'll never let you fall."
**[13:44] shi**
That's how you win a tournament.
**[13:47] yu**
But President,
**[13:48] yu**
we can't participate in a tournament
if we don't have enough people.
**[13:52] shi**
Yes, I know.
**[13:54] shi**
The truth is,
**[13:56] shi**
I had only one other long-term
club member besides you,
**[13:59] shi**
but he quit recently.
**[14:01] yu**
Wow, you had someone like that?
**[14:04] shi**
And so in the eleven years
I have been in this club,
**[14:07] shi**
I have never once participated
in a tournament.
**[14:10] yu**
Eleven years?!
**[14:11] yu**
How old are you now, President?
**[14:14] shi**
Twenty-six.
**[14:15] yu**
Twenty-six?!
**[14:18] shi**
There are things you can only do
during your high school years!
**[14:22] shi**
I will not quit Binan High School volleyball
**[14:24] shi**
until I take part in a tournament!
**[14:26] yu**
President!
**[14:27] yu**
You're dedicating your life to it, huh?
**[14:29] yu**
That's amazing!
**[14:30] yu**
I'm a little bit moved!
**[14:32] en**
I can't believe he's 26.
**[14:34] at**
Talk about peaking in high school.
**[14:36] ryu**
Even Neverland would be shocked.
**[14:39] ryu**
I'm surprised the school lets him stay.
**[14:42] io**
The school's probably fine with
it as long as he pays tuition.
**[14:50] shu**
President Munakata...
**[14:51] shu**
you'll regret this!
**[14:53] shu**
I'm a diamond in the rough.
**[14:55] shu**
The more you polish me, the more
I will outshine Hakone Yumoto!

Hey! Look at me!
**[16:09] yu**
What's that?
**[16:10] yu**
A black volleyball?

I may look black...

But inside, I'm sparkling and shining!

And my name...

The black ball is coming at me!

I am Muna! Kata!

Boba-yan!
**[16:37] shi**
Sky!
**[16:39] en**
I think something went flying.
**[16:41] io**
Looked like Munakata-san.
**[16:43] at**
Yumoto's right.
**[16:44] at**
Lots of things really do come flying
and falling down in autumn.
**[16:48] ryu**
Yeah...
**[16:50] wom**
Everyone, I think it's your turn!
**[16:55] en**
Yumoto, what's with the black ball?
**[16:58] at**
I think it's supposed to be a volleyball.

Vesta Love Ignit!
**[19:27] yu**
What? He sucked in all of our attacks!
**[19:32] mon**
I'm the invincible Black Boba-yan!
**[19:34] mon**
Boing! Boing!
**[19:36] en**
He's bouncing around a lot.
**[19:38] at**
Yeah, I think he's having fun.
**[19:41] mon**
Look!
**[19:42] mon**
Inside this black sphere
shines the greatest of gems,
**[19:45] mon**
even harder than diamond, brighter
than the first star of evening!
**[19:50] yu**
Then why do you hide it?
**[19:55] mon**
Because...
**[19:56] mon**
he wouldn't polish me,
**[19:59] mon**
so I gave up on shining.
**[20:01] yu**
So you can't shine unless
someone else polishes you?
**[20:07] yu**
Instead of relying on someone else,
**[20:09] yu**
you have to make yourself shine!
**[20:10] yu**
Because you're a really
beautiful diamond, right?
**[20:14] mon**
W-Well...
**[20:17] yu**
Don't worry!
**[20:18] yu**
I know you can do it!
**[20:19] yu**
You can shine!
**[20:21] mon**
Even... I can?
**[20:23] yu**
Yeah!
**[20:24] yu**
Now, take this!
**[20:40] yu**
True Love Attack!
**[20:54] yu**
True Love Fountain!
**[21:08] yu**
Love is over!
**[21:19] yu**
Boy, am I glad!
**[21:22] yu**
Shuzo-san is back with the volleyball club!
**[21:25] yu**
"Shuzo! I was waiting for
you to pull yourself up!"
**[21:29] yu**
That's what the president
said. He's as on-fire as ever!
**[21:32] en**
In the end, their little lovers'
quarrel was the cause of it all.
**[21:37] at**
Yeah.
**[21:38] at**
It really put us through a lot.
**[21:39] ryu**
But what are you going to do about
the volleyball club, Yumoto?
**[21:42] yu**
I quit!
**[21:44] yu**
After all, I'm in the Earth Defense Club!
**[21:47] wom**
Yes! That's right!
**[21:49] io**
But with Oka Shuzo back, the
club only has two members...
**[21:54] ryu**
Does that mean Munakata won't
graduate this year, either?
**[21:57] yu**
That's right!
**[21:59] yu**
The president and Shuzo-san said
**[22:00] yu**
they would continue their fiery training
until they get into a tournament!
**[22:03] yu**
They're totally fired up!
**[22:05] at**
Never going to graduate, huh?
**[22:09] en**
Two for Neverland, huh?
**[22:14] dada**
Chicken was on sale today,
so I made chicken hot pot.
**[22:18] dada**
Come on, eat up, you two.
**[22:21] dada**
It will warm up your cold hearts.
**[22:24] haru**
Hakone...
**[22:26] aki**
...Yumoto...
**[22:27] both**
We will make you pay!
