[03:43] Male Student 1
    Whoa, that was fast! Jeet Kune Do!
[03:45] Jumpei
    Thanks, thanks.
[03:46] Brown-haired Student
    You're amazing, Jumpei!
[03:48] Jumpei
    You should join us!
[03:49] Jumpei
    It's fun at Uncle Mioka's dojo!
[03:52] Brown-Haired Student
    No way. It's in Meguro, right?
[03:55] Brown-Haired Student
    That's too far!
[04:00] Male Students
    Whoa!
[04:02] Brown-Haired Student
    Was that a flying kick?

[05:20] Jumpei
    What do you want, Nee-chan?!
[05:21] Jumpei
    Knock first!
[05:22] Nanako
    This is Dad's room, not yours.
[05:25] Nanako
    Also, I think Mom wants to
    throw away that ballet barre.
[05:30] Nanako
    What do you think?
[05:32] Jumpei
    Huh?
[05:33] Jumpei
    Why are you asking me? It's yours, isn't it?
[05:36] Nanako
    But you wanted to do ballet, didn't you?
[05:38] Jumpei
    That was forever ago!
[05:40] Jumpei
    It's like my dark past!
[05:42] Jumpei
    Now I'm glad I didn't just
    charge right into ballet classes!
[05:45] Jumpei
    That would've been so lame for a boy!
[05:49] Jumpei
    You quit ballet after you started
    playing basketball, right?
[05:52] Jumpei
    Just throw it out.
[05:55] Nanako
    Oh? Fine, I'll tell Mom that.

    If you're gonna do ballet,

    you gotta stretch first.
[06:23] (Flashback) Nanako
    Do you want to do ballet, too, Jumpei?
[06:26] (Flashback) Jumpei
    What? Boys can do it, too?!
[06:28] (Flashback) Sawako
    I'll call them, and if they say
    boys can join, then you can.
[06:31] (Flashback) Jumpei
    I'll do it!
[06:31] (Flashback) Ippeita
    What?
[06:33] (Flashback) Ippeita
    You're already taking piano lessons,
[06:35] (Flashback) Ippeita
    and you're mistaken for a girl
    often enough as it is.
[06:38] (Flashback) Ippeita
    How about something more
    manly, like Jeet Kune Do?
[06:42] (Flashback) Ippeita
    My friend does it, and—
[07:12] (Flashback) Ippeita
    All right, fine. Give it a shot.

[08:52] Jumpei
    "Not manly" equals "not cool"...
[08:57] Jumpei
    I want... to be cool...
[09:15] Jumpei
    This is stupid!
[09:18] Jumpei
    Crap, I'm gonna be late
    for Jeet Kune Do again!
[09:32] Miyako
    There you are, Murao Jumpei!
[09:34] Jumpei
    Wh-What?
[09:35] Miyako
    Oh, good. I don't know my way around
    that well yet, so I wasn't sure...
[09:36] Jumpei
    Did she come here to see me*?
[09:38] Jumpei
    I-Is she...
[09:40] Jumpei
    here to confess her feelings for me?!
[09:42] Miyako
    There's something I want you to try for me.
[09:45] Jumpei
    Yes, ma'am!
[09:47] Jumpei
    Huh?
[09:48] Jumpei
    T-Try?
[09:49] Miyako
    Y'know, that Jeet Kune Do thing
    you did today. The flying kick?
[09:53] Miyako
    Try doing it for me.
[09:54] Jumpei
    Huh? Why?
[09:57] Miyako
    It's like, when I saw that flying kick...
[10:02] Miyako
    You... You...
[10:06] Jumpei
    Okay! Here I go!
[10:14] Jumpei
    Like that?
[10:17] Miyako
    That's not as good as the one you did before.
[10:19] Jumpei
    Huh?!
[10:20] Miyako
    That was a ballet jump, wasn't it?
[10:22] Miyako
    A 540.
[10:24] Jumpei
    Wh-What're you talking about?
[10:37] Miyako
    This is closer to a proper 540, Murao.
[10:41] Jumpei
    H-Her panties...
[10:44] Miyako
    Hey, let's do ballet together!
SIGN    Godai Ballet Studio
[10:50] Miyako
    This is the Godai Ballet Studio.
[10:52] Miyako
    It just opened in February, after my
    mom left to start her own studio.
[10:56] Miyako
    There still aren't very
    many students, though.
[10:59] Miyako
    Oh, I live upstairs.
[11:01] Jumpei
    Huh?!
[11:02] Jumpei
    I got distracted by her panties*
    and followed her here...
[11:05] Jumpei
    U-Um, Godai-san,
[11:09] Jumpei
    I'm not planning on doing ballet—
[11:13] Miyako
    Isn't it nice?
[11:14] Miyako
    It's still new.
[11:21] Jumpei
    In a place like this,
[11:22] Jumpei
    no matter how much I turn or jump...
[11:26] Miyako
    Where do you take lessons, Murao?
[11:28] Jumpei
    I'm not taking lessons!
[11:29] Jumpei
    Godai-san,
[11:31] Jumpei
    I think you're getting the wrong idea.
[11:33] Jumpei
    I mean, ballet?
[11:35] Junpei
    I'm a guy, you know.
[11:36] Junpei
    Besides, I'm totally devoted to Jeet Kune Do!
[11:38] Miyako
    Why are you lying?
[11:40] Miyako
    That 540 you did is a ballet technique.
[11:45] Chizuru
    Luou-kun?
[11:48] Miyako
    Oh, Mom!
[11:49] Jumpei
    "Luou-kun"? I feel like I've
    heard that name before...
[11:55] Chizuru
    Who's that?
[11:56] Jumpei
    Man, she seems like a cranky old hag.
[11:59] Miyako
    This is Murao Jumpei-kun. He's in my class.
[12:01] Miyako
    He wants to take ballet lessons!
[12:03] Jumpei
    Wait!
[12:03] Miyako
    He's amazing!
[12:05] Miyako
    He can do a 540 even though
    he's never taken ballet before!
[12:07] Jumpei
    What're you talking about?!
[12:09] Jumpei
    There's no way I'm doing that ballet thing!
[12:10] Miyako
    He's a prodigy!
[12:11] Miyako
    I really think so!
[12:13] Miyako
    You know, for the dance
    federation's fall festival,
[12:16] Miyako
    we'd stand out more if
     we had a talented boy,
[12:18] Miyako
    and besides, I want to try a pas de deux!
[12:21] Jumpei
    "Pas"?!
[12:22] Jumpei
    If I remember right, that's when
    a guy and girl dance together!
[12:25] Jumpei
    She wants to dance with me?!
[12:27] Jumpei
    She likes me for sure!
[12:31] Chizuru
    Huh? "Prodigy"?
[12:33] Chizuru
    Ridiculous.
[12:34] Chizuru
    Jumpei-kun, you're a second-year
    in junior high, right?
[12:37] Chizuru
    So you're, what, 13? 14?
[12:39] Chizuru
    Even if you start ballet now, it's too late.
[12:42] Chizuru
    You need to have started
    by the time you were ten.
[12:45] Chizuru
    If you didn't, you're already
    outside the scope of "prodigy."
[12:49] Chizuru
    Besides, I'm not interested in teaching
    anyone who calls it "that ballet thing."
[12:54] Chizuru
    Miyako, we're starting class,
    so send him home.
[12:57] Miyako
    But, Mom—
[12:59] Jumpei
    That ballet thing...
[13:01] Jumpei
    is easy!
[13:04] Miyako
    So high!
[13:10] Jumpei
    I knew it!
[13:13] Jumpei
    I can go all-out here!
[13:15] Jumpei
    Hop and...
[13:17] Jumpei
    Leap!
[13:23] Jumpei
    Turn, turn...
[13:26] Jumpei
    Boom!
[13:37] Jumpei
    Whoa, I know this...
[13:40] Jumpei
    This feeling!
[13:51] Chizuru
    That's not ballet.
[14:01] Miyako
    Murao!
[14:02] Miyako
    Wait, Murao!
[14:04] Miyako
    Hey, wait up, Murao!
[14:15] Chizuru
    Oh, you're still awake?
[14:18] Miyako
    Um, Mom...
[14:19] Miyako
    Is Murao really that bad?
[14:23] Miyako
    His Don Quixote...
[14:26] Miyako
    It's true that it was messy in places,
[14:29] Miyako
    but it was like, "Whoosh!"
[14:31] Miyako
    Like a gust of wind...
[14:34] Miyako
    Was it just me? What did you think?
[14:37] Chizuru
    Well, he needs to come on his own tomorrow.
[14:40] Chizuru
    If he doesn't show up, that's that.
[14:42] Miyako
    Huh?
[14:43] Chizuru
    Come on, not getting enough
    sleep will stunt your growth.
[14:46] Chizuru
    Hurry up and go to bed.
[14:47] Miyako
    What the heck?
[14:49] Miyako
    Another school's going to poach him!
[14:51] Chizuru
    Hah! That damn brat?
[15:00] Chizuru
    That damn brat...
[15:02] Chizuru
    After seeing that, of course
    you wouldn't be able to sleep.
[15:09] Miyako
    Luou, are you awake?
[15:14] Miyako
    The key to the studio...
[15:30] Chizuru
    Can you get your bellybutton
    to touch the floor?
[15:32] Chizuru
    Good, good! Make sure to point your toes.
[15:36] Girl
    Sensei! There's a weird boy here.
[15:40] Girl
    Should we call the police?
[15:43] Jumpei
    Hey, old lady!
[15:45] Jumpei
    I'm the embodiment of athletic ability!
[15:48] Jumpei
    What's wrong with my dancing?!
[15:51] Chizuru
    You came here to practice, right?
[15:53] Jumpei
    N-No, I didn't!
[15:55] Chizuru
    What you showed me before was a bit sudden.
[15:57] Chizuru
    This time, show me what you can really do.
[15:59] Jumpei
    Don't you mean "Please show me," you damn old lady?!
[16:01] Chizuru
    Stop calling me "old lady," you damn brat!
[16:04] Chizuru
    Okay, everyone! This boy
    says he's going to dance.
[16:07] Girl
    Aw, I don't wanna watch that!
[16:11] Jumpei
    Fine, I'll show you...
[16:14] Jumpei
    my Don Quixote that I spent
    all night studying!

[16:20] Jumpei
    Let's see...
[16:26] Jumpei
    One, two, th—
[16:28] Chizuru
    Stop!
[16:29] Chizuru
    Your elbow! Back! Fingertips! Toes!
[16:30] Jumpei
    Ow!
[16:31] Chizuru
    Knees! Pay attention!
[16:34] Chizuru
    You can't even stand properly.
[16:37] Chizuru
    More! More, more, more, more!
    Lengthen your spine more!
[16:40] Chizuru
    Like this! Taller!
[16:43] Jumpei
    Huh? You gotta stand straight
    and pull yourself up, right?
[16:45] Jumpei
    I saw online—
[16:45] Chizuru
    Try exhaling and making your stomach hollow.
[16:49] Chizuru
    Yes, that's good enough for the front.
[16:52] Jumpei
    Huh?! Really, old lady?!
[16:54] Chizuru
    You were sticking your chest out too much.
[16:56] Chizuru
    Trying focusing on your back.
[16:59] Chizuru
    Pretend there's someone holding you
    below your navel and behind your neck.
[17:03] Chizuru
    Open your shoulders a little more.
[17:05] Chizuru
    Good.
[17:06] Chizuru
    Then grow taller, and taller,
    and taller, and taller...
[17:11] Chizuru
    Good.
[17:12] Chizuru
    Now feel yourself getting pulled higher,
    until you're on your tiptoes,
[17:15] Chizuru
    and press into the floor.
[17:16] Jumpei
    This is the proper posture...
[17:19] Jumpei
    This is ballet!
[17:22] Chizuru
    Squeeze your inner thighs together!
    There's so much space here.
[17:25] Jumpei
    Old lady, you're touching me too much...
[17:28] Chizuru
    Your neck!
[17:33] Miyako
    Oh, good! You're here!
[17:35] Miyako
    You weren't home, so I thought
    maybe you'd gone to Jeet Kune Do.
[17:39] Jumpei
    This girl's definitely into me!
[17:43] Jumpei
    Oh, crap! Jeet Kune Do! I gotta go!
[17:46] Chizuru
    Hey, wait.
[17:47] Chizuru
    From now on, come every day.
[17:49] Chizuru
    You need to be at a certain skill level
    before the dance federation recital.
[17:55] Jumpei
    Huh? Who said I'd perform in—
[17:57] Miyako
    Oh, I'm so happy!
[17:58] Miyako
    Let's work hard together, Murao!
[18:00] Jumpei
    Wh-What's with this ballet studio?
[18:03] Jumpei
    Is it a dating service?
[18:07] Jumpei
    Anyway, does this mean...
[18:09] Jumpei
    even now, I...
[18:12] Jumpei
    could still...
[18:16] Jumpei
    I'm not performing in that recital thing!
[18:20] Jumpei
    Crap, something's not right.
[18:23] Jumpei
    I've got to be cool! Manly!
[18:27] Mioka
    Looking good today.
[18:29] Mioka
    Don't get carried away.
[18:32] Jumpei
    This is fun! It's the best!
[18:35] Jumpei
    But why don't I feel that "boom!"
    or even that tingle?
[18:43] Chizuru
    Keep your middle finger long,
    and bend your thumb in at the base.
[18:47] Chizuru
    En bas, en avant, à la seconde...
[18:52] Chizuru
    Keep your elbows up.
[18:53] Chizuru
    En haut.
[18:55] Teacher
    Murao, do you have a question?
[18:57] Jumpei
    N-No!
[18:59] Hyouta
    Jumpei!
[19:02] Hyouta
    Where are you going?
[19:03] Jumpei
    Hey, Hyou-chan.
[19:06] Hyouta
    You haven't come to club at all this week.
[19:10] Hyouta
    You had Jeet Kune Do?
[19:12] Miyako
    Murao, you're leaving now, right?
[19:15] Miyako
    The teacher said you need
    to get the right clothes—
[19:19] Jumpei
    Oh, right! Godai-san,
    you're on class duty, right?
[19:21] Jumpei
    I'll be at club today. Later!
[19:26] Miyako
    You're embarrassed about doing ballet.
[19:29] Jumpei
    Well, I've built this image, y'know...
[19:33] Miyako
    You'll be exposed at the ballet festival.
[19:35] Jumpei
    I told you, I'm not performing.
[19:37] Miyako
    What? You go to the studio
     every day, though.
[19:39] Miyako
    You're getting free lessons under
    the assumption that you'll perform—
[19:42] Jumpei
    I-I didn't say anything about performing...
[19:45] Jumpei
    Anyway, don't tell anyone.
[19:50] Jumpei
    You know, 'cause I should tell them myself.
[19:55] Jumpei
    That's what I think, but...
[19:57] Jumpei
    If they find out I'm doing ballet,
[20:00] Jumpei
    it'll be all over.
[20:03] Jumpei
    Hyou-chan, what're you doing?
[20:04] Hyouta
    Recording a video.
[20:06] Hyouta
    I'm hoping something funny will happen.
[20:09] Jumpei
    Huh?
[20:10] Hyouta
    I've uploaded a bunch of stuff,
    but I'm not getting many views.
[20:14] Hyouta
    I need something funnier.
[20:17] Hyouta
    That reminds me, summer training
    camp will be August 20th and 21st.
[20:21] Hyouta
    You're going, right?
[20:22] Jumpei
    Of course.
[20:25] Jumpei
    Last year's training camp was fun, anyway.
[20:29] Jumpei
    But I won't be able to go to
     ballet during that time.
[20:38] Chizuru
    You're late!
[20:39] Chizuru
    You're not ready for this class,
[20:41] Chizuru
    so go stretch in the corner!
[20:45] Jumpei
    I'll stretch upstairs...
[20:50] Jumpei
    There's no way I could
    stretch in that room...

[20:56] Jumpei
    Same day as our training camp...
[20:59] Sawako
    Jumpei, I got a call from Mioka-kun.
[21:03] Sawako
    He says you're skipping Jeet Kune Do?
[21:05] Sawako
    But you've been coming home
    late recently. Why is that?
[21:08] Jumpei
    I-I've got club stuff, and then I go out
    with Hyou-chan and the others...
[21:13] Sawako
    Really?
[21:14] Sawako
    Jumpei, you told Mioka-kun that you want
    to be a stunt coordinator like your dad?
[21:20] Jumpei
    Well, I thought it'd be nice
    if I could be one, I guess...
[21:24] Sawako
    You can't decide your future
    based on what your dad did.
[21:29] Jumpei
    Where's this coming from?
[21:31] Sawako
    Your dad's head was full
    of martial arts and stunts,
[21:36] Sawako
    but it doesn't look like it's
    that way for you at all.
[21:40] Jumpei
    Huh?
[21:42] Jumpei
    I thought Mom would be happy...
[21:45] Jumpei
    that I decided to follow
    in my father's footsteps.
[21:48] Jumpei
    Dad was so cool, too.

    Here's a ticket to see the ballet Swan Lake.
[21:55] Chizuru
    I thought you could do this dance
    with Miyako at the festival.
[21:58] Chizuru
    You'll be the prince.
[21:59] Jumpei
    Huh?!
[22:00] Chizuru
    You can't get here earlier
    like you did before?
[22:03] Chizuru
    And I'd like to introduce myself to your
    mom, so can I have her phone nu—
[22:06] Jumpei
    You don't have to! I told her it's club stuff.
[22:10] Jumpei
    And I'm not gonna dance
    in that ballet festival.
[22:12] Jumpei
    It's during my soccer training camp.
[22:15] Chizuru
    Oh?
[22:16] Chizuru
    Then quit soccer.
[22:18] Jumpei
    Huh?!
[22:19] Chizuru
    Soccer will make you build muscles you
    don't need, and it'll be tough later.
[22:23] Chizuru
    Besides, you don't need big muscles.
[22:25] Jumpei
    What?! I'm talking about my club!
    It's an official school activity—
[22:27] Chizuru
    Yeah? So what?
[22:30] Chizuru
    You're going to become
    a ballet dancer, right?
[22:39] Jumpei
    What are you saying?
[22:41] Jumpei
    Are you crazy, old lady?!
[22:44] Jumpei
    I told you! I have my club, and my friends,
    and Jeet Kune Do, and my family...
[22:50] Jumpei
    And...
[23:02] Jumpei
    Stop! Stop it, old lady!
[23:04] Chizuru
    Stop what?
[23:05] Chizuru
    Though, of course...
[23:07] Chizuru
    It's only if you can throw
    everything else away.
[23:19] Chizuru
    Luou-kun?
[23:22] Chizuru
    There's a new student.
[23:24] Chizuru
    A boy in the same class as Miyako.
[23:27] Chizuru
    He might be more talented than you.
