[00:07] Kozuru
    No!
[00:11] (Flashback) Kozuru
    You can't even do this?!
[00:13] (Flashback) Kozuru
    How many times do I have to tell you?!
[00:29] Jumpei
    Wait, old lady—I mean, Sensei!
[00:34] Jumpei
    Please teach me ballet!
SIGN    Act 4: "I Can Do Ballet Now"
[02:10] Jumpei
    I'm sorry I didn't come to class!
[02:14] Chizuru
    Idiot!
[02:15] Chizuru
    When have you ever seen a prince
    with a shaved head?!
[02:18] Jumpei
    Wh-What?!
[02:20] Jumpei
    I didn't think about that!
[02:21] Chizuru
    I can tell!
[02:22] Jumpei
    Also, here.
[02:24] Jumpei
    It's a box of sweets and monthly tuition...
[02:26] Jumpei
    My mother told me to bring them.
[02:30] (Flashback) Sawako
    Ballet?
[02:32] (Flashback) Sawako
    You should do it.
[02:33] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Huh?!
[02:34] (Flashback) Sawako
    I knew already. Your sister told me.
[02:38] (Flashback) Sawako
    And I know your dad is pleased
[02:39] (Flashback) Sawako
    that you thought about what
    he said for eight years.
[02:47] Chizuru
    Okay.
[02:48] Chizuru
    Stand in fifth position.
[02:50] Chizuru
    Like a prince.
[03:01] Chizuru
    Oh? You look like a very dignified prince.
[03:06] Chizuru
    Are you visualizing something?
[03:08] Jumpei
    Char.
[03:11] Chizuru
    Usually someone replies with a dancer's name.
[03:14] Jumpei
    You know,
[03:15] Jumpei
    I don't really care about being a prince,
    and I've got a shaved head, too.
[03:20] Jumpei
    I'd rather dance as Rothbart.
[03:23] Jumpei
    I don't understand why Luou's so
    hung up about being the prince...
[03:28] Jumpei
    Ma'am.
[03:32] Chizuru
    The "danseur noble."
[03:35] Chizuru
    That's what a dancer who's qualified
    to take on the prince's part is called.
[03:40] Chizuru
    The "prince" is a kind of pinnacle.
[03:44] Chizuru
    To dance the part of the prince,
[03:45] Chizuru
    you need a certain physical
    appearance, skill, acting ability,
[03:48] Chizuru
    charisma, musicality, grace,
    and support ability.
[03:52] Chizuru
    Only someone who has all those qualities
[03:56] Chizuru
    is allowed to play the part of the prince.
[03:59] Chizuru
    It's territory that can't be
    reached by hard work alone.
[04:04] Jumpei
    If I become the prince, will I only
    be able to dance that part?
[04:09] Chizuru
    Didn't you hear what I said? It's a pinnacle.
[04:12] Chizuru
    If you're able to dance as the prince
    and also master character roles,
[04:17] Chizuru
    then you can dance any part.
[04:20] Chizuru
    Well, but it would be impossible for you
    to dance the part of the prince
[04:25] Chizuru
    at a top company in Russia,
    the nation of ballet.
[04:29] Jumpei
    Oh?
[04:33] Jumpei
    That's what I'll do, then.
[04:35] Chizuru
    Huh?
[04:35] Jumpei
    I said,
[04:37] Jumpei
    I'll become a danseur noble in Russia.
[04:50] Chizuru
    Bold talk for a kid with a shaved head!
[04:52] Jumpei
    I'm serious about this!
[04:54] Jumpei
    H-Hey! Don't laugh, old lady!
[05:04] Female Student
    Wow, what's that?
[05:05] Class 2 Teacher
    Murao!
[05:06] Class 2 Teacher
    Don't run—or jump—in the halls!
[05:09] Class 2 Teacher
    What is that, anyway? What are you doing?!
[05:11] Jumpei
    Coupé-jeté en tournant!
[05:14] Jumpei
    It's ballet!
[05:17] Hyouta
    He's so damn loud.
[05:20] Jumpei
    I can't stop!
[05:23] Jumpei
    If I stop...
[05:24] Jumpei
    I'll die!
[05:27] Jumpei
    I...
[05:28] Jumpei
    can do ballet now!
[05:33] (Flashback) Jumpei
    I'll become a danseur noble in Russia.
[05:39] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Bold talk for a kid with a shaved head!
[05:41] (Flashback) Jumpei
    I'm serious about this!
[05:44] (Flashback) Chizuru
    What a foolish pipe dream!
[05:47] (Flashback) Chizuru
    At the top ballet schools in Russia,
[05:50] (Flashback) Chizuru
    the nation of ballet,
[05:52] (Flashback) Chizuru
    only about 30 boys are accepted
    out of thousands who apply.
[05:57] (Flashback) Chizuru
    In addition, for the next eight years,
    exams weed them out between levels,
[06:00] (Flashback) Chizuru
    and less than half are left by graduation.
[06:03] (Flashback) Chizuru
    After that,
[06:04] (Flashback) Chizuru
    only a handful of dancers are able to
    join world-class ballet companies
[06:09] (Flashback) Chizuru
    like the Mariinsky or Bolshoi companies.
[06:11] (Flashback) Chizuru
    For a Japanese man to
     become danseur noble there
[06:14] (Flashback) Chizuru
    is like a dream within a dream.
[06:16] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Seriously?
[06:18] (Flashback) Chizuru
    I can't believe you'd say that after
    taking lessons for barely a month.
[06:22] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Really, it's crazy.
[06:27] (Flashback) Chizuru
    The first time you danced here,
[06:31] (Flashback) Chizuru
    I also saw the same pipe dream for you!
[06:49] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Right?
[06:51] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Hold on to the barre.
[06:52] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Huh?
[06:54] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Point your toes.
[06:57] (Flashback) Chizuru
    You really have amazing foot structure.
[07:00] (Flashback) Chizuru
    You have long arms and legs.
    And long fingers, too.
[07:03] (Flashback) Chizuru
    You have big feet and a high instep,
    which is good for ballet.
[07:06] (Flashback) Chizuru
    And a small head and long neck.
[07:10] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Plus, your face...
[07:11] (Flashback) Chizuru
    isn't too bad, when you don't talk.
[07:13] (Flashback) Chizuru
    You actually have what it takes to go pro.
[07:16] (Flashback) Jumpei
    But that's all just what I look like.
[07:20] (Flashback) Chizuru
    Oh? Ballet mainly depends
    on the raw material.
[07:24] (Flashback) Chizuru
    You must have a silhouette suited for ballet.
[07:28] (Flashback) Chizuru
    The only part of your body
    I'm concerned about...
[07:31] (Flashback) Chizuru
    is your height.
[07:32] (Flashback) Jumpei
    Nah, I'll be fine!
[07:35] (Flashback) Jumpei
    My dad was tall!
[07:38] (Flashback) Chizuru
    You were probably always very athletic,
[07:42] (Flashback) Chizuru
    but your core strength and flexibility are
     probably thanks to Jeet Kune Do, right?
[07:47] (Flashback) Chizuru
    It makes me want to thank
    your Jeet Kune Do teacher.
[07:51] Jumpei
    I need to go apologize
    properly to Uncle Mioka.
[08:06] Miyako
    Oh, I'm so glad!
[08:09] Jumpei
    Huh? About what?
[08:11] Miyako
    I thought you weren't going
    to do ballet anymore.
[08:16] Miyako
    I couldn't sort out my feelings,
[08:20] Miyako
    and it made me sulky. Sorry about that.
[08:22] Jumpei
    Uh... Huh?
[08:25] Jumpei
    Uh, well... not about that...
[08:29] Jumpei
    Was I just being used?
[08:34] Jumpei
    Y-You can feel it if you want.
[08:37] Jumpei
    The short hair's pretty fun to touch.
[08:44] Jumpei
    Ballet...
[08:46] Jumpei
    is the best!
[08:51] Luou
    How ridiculous.
[08:59] Chizuru
    Okay, Miyako, practice
    the choreography for Swan Lake.
[09:02] Chizuru
    Jumpei, continue your barre work.
[09:04] Jumpei
    What? Again?!
[09:06] Jumpei
    I did barre work all day yesterday, too!
[09:10] Jumpei
    It's less than two months
    until the performance, right?
[09:12] Chizuru
    You can move on once you can
    do the barre work properly.
[09:15] Jumpei
    You don't do barre on stage!
[09:18] Jumpei
    I've already learned
    the prince's choreography!
[09:34] Chizuru
    As usual, I wouldn't call
    that ballet. It's an eyesore.
[09:40] Chizuru
    For example, with your pirouette...
[09:42] Chizuru
    You're not turning out enough,
    so you're crooked going in,
[09:45] Chizuru
    and end up using brute force to turn.
[09:47] Jumpei
    What? Really?!
[09:49] Chizuru
    Try turning while focusing
    on keeping your turnout.
[09:51] Chizuru
    Don't let it go for even an instant.
[09:55] Jumpei
    Turning's easy.
[09:57] Jumpei
    I don't think something like that
    would make a difference.
[10:08] Chizuru
    See? You can't even complete one turn.
[10:11] Jumpei
    What?! No way!
[10:13] Chizuru
    If you want to do ballet,
[10:15] Chizuru
    you're not allowed to dance
    whatever you want anymore.
[10:19] Jumpei
    Th-That one just now didn't
     count. One more time!
[10:24] Chizuru
    You're crooked.
[10:25] Jumpei
    What? It was just a little...
[10:28] Jumpei
    Isn't it fine as long as I can turn?
[10:30] Chizuru
    It's not fine.
[10:31] Chizuru
    It's not just turns.
[10:33] Chizuru
    All of ballet uses a set of basic movements,
[10:37] Chizuru
    and even difficult techniques are
     just applications of the basics.
[10:41] Chizuru
    If you don't get rid of the bad habits you
    picked up while dancing on your own
[10:44] Chizuru
    and nail down the correct,
     basic movements,
[10:47] Chizuru
    then what you're doing
    can't be called "ballet."
[10:51] Chizuru
    For those like Miyako and Luou,
[10:53] Chizuru
    who have had the basics drilled
    into them since they were young,
[10:56] Chizuru
    ballet movements have become
    part of their bodies.
[10:59] Chizuru
    There are more than ten years
    between them and your bad habits.
[11:05] Chizuru
    Incorrect movements will lead to injury, too.
[11:08] Chizuru
    Doesn't your knee hurt?
[11:10] Jumpei
    No, it doesn't!
[11:11] Chizuru
    What's with that face?
[11:13] Chizuru
    Embarrassment and stubbornness
    are enemies of growth.
[11:16] Chizuru
    So, what should you be doing right now?
[11:21] Girls
    Hey, hey!
[11:22] Chizuru
    Okay, now, ignore the boy
    who has to practice late.
[11:28] Chizuru
    You're humming too loud!
[11:30] Chizuru
    Jumpei, don't join the class
    without permission!
[11:34] Chizuru
    Here.
[11:35] Chizuru
    These are full-soled shoes.
[11:37] Chizuru
    These will help work the
    bottom of your feet more.
[11:45] Chizuru
    Clean up and put the key in the mailbox.
[11:48] Jumpei
    I can't move...
[11:52] Jumpei
    Hey, Chizuru-san, there's only a month left.
[11:57] Jumpei
    Please teach me the choreography.
[12:00] Jumpei
    I want to dance.
[12:02] Jumpei
    I want to jump.
[12:04] Jumpei
    I want to turn.
[12:06] Jumpei
    Chizuru-san...
[12:09] Chizuru
    You can learn the choreography later.
[12:10] Chizuru
    Once you've got the basics,
    the dance will come easily.
[12:14] Chizuru
    Jumpei.
[12:17] Chizuru
    Once the basics become second nature,
[12:19] Chizuru
    you'll be able to dance more freely.
[12:24] Chizuru
    Luou-kun, you didn't eat dinner, did you?
[12:28] Chizuru
    You're just eating junk food, aren't you?
[12:32] Chizuru
    Oh, your grandmother sent a postcard.
[12:40] Chizuru
    What about your contract with me?
[12:46] Jumpei (song)
    Bor-ing, te-di-ous,
    ne-ver-end-ing barre work...
[12:52] Jumpei
    This is like being forced into a ballet mold.
[12:57] Jumpei
    Dancing more freely instead
    of dancing the way I want to...
[13:00] Jumpei
    What the heck?
[13:03] Jumpei
    How far does that mean I can go?
SIGN    84-453-3-7-8 Asugaya-nantou,
    Suginami-ku, Tokyo
     To: Mori Luou c/o Godai
    Home hinemosu 3-chome,
    Kuragamauji, Kanagawa
    
     Kozuru-san says her picture this week
     is of a ballet tutu. -from Staff
[13:09] Chizuru
    Luou, you want to study abroad at an overseas
     ballet school under famous teachers.
[13:15] Chizuru
    To do that, you need to dance in overseas
    competitions and get a scholarship.
[13:19] Chizuru
    Right?
[13:22] Chizuru
    In exchange for arranging for you
    to enter overseas competitions,
[13:25] Chizuru
    I gave you two conditions:
[13:27] Chizuru
    go to school and win MVP
    at the ballet festival.
[13:33] Chizuru
    To do that, you need
    to participate in lesso—
[13:35] Luou
    I...
[13:37] Luou
    don't think I can study under you, after all.
[13:41] Luou
    I can't bear to stand on the same
    stage as that wild monkey.
[13:44] Luou
    He wants to be a Bolshoi or
     Mariinsky danseur noble?
[13:50] Luou
    How ridiculous!
[13:53] Chizuru
    You don't like it?
[13:57] Chizuru
    Didn't your grandmother want
    the same thing for you?
[14:11] (Flashback) Kozuru
    Mazuru could do it in one try!
[14:14] (Flashback) Kozuru
    Mazuru could do it more beautifully!
[14:18] (Flashback) Kozuru
    Mazuru could...
[14:24] Miyako
    The key to the studio?
[14:30] Miyako
    It's not on the dresser?
[14:33] Miyako
    Maybe someone stayed late.
[14:35] Miyako
    The mailbox, then...
[14:37] Miyako
    Huh? It's not there.
[14:41] Miyako
    Luou?!
[14:49] Miyako
    Oh, is this the music from Don Quixote?
[15:22] Miyako
    Jumpei?!
[15:24] Miyako
    You can't dance without permission!
[15:26] Luou
    Miyako, he's just doing barre work.
[15:34] Miyako
    Jumpei?!
[15:39] Miyako
    Was he doing this all night?
[15:42] Miyako
    There's no way, right?
[15:45] Luou
    They're worn out.
[15:47] Miyako
    No way! That's impossible!
[15:49] Miyako
    He hasn't even had those shoes for a month.
[15:53] Miyako
    It wasn't just one night...
[15:57] Miyako
    They wouldn't have ended up like that
    unless he's been dancing every night.
[16:07] Jumpei
    Oh, welcome back. I'm leaving now.
[16:11] Sawako
    Oh, my. This is when you've been leaving?
[16:14] Sawako
    I was just thinking that when I wake up,
    all I'm left with is a ton of laundry.
[16:19] Jumpei
    My teacher keeps nagging me about
    sleeping at least four hours a night,
[16:22] Jumpei
    so I'm home then.
[16:24] Sawako
    I know it's summer vacation,
    but is this really okay?
[16:27] Jumpei
    It's fine.
[16:28] Jumpei
    When I hear the music, I don't need to sleep.
[16:31] Sawako
    It wasn't you I was worried about.
[16:34] Sawako
    Ever since you were little,
[16:36] Sawako
    you never slept much. I never
     knew what to do with you.
[16:39] Sawako
    But aren't you causing trouble for your teacher?
[16:43] Miyako
    Mom, you look... older...
[16:46] Jumpei
    You don't have to stay
    with me the whole time.
[16:49] Chizuru
    It'd be a waste if you practiced
    the movements wrong.
[16:52] Chizuru
    Well, I guess it's about time
    you tried the pas de deux.
[16:58] Jumpei
    Yes! Finally!
[17:01] Jumpei
    I already know the choreography!
[17:04] Jumpei
    I've been watching you two dancing it!
[17:08] Chizuru
    Okay, then, why don't you try it?
[17:15] Chizuru
    Okay, music start.
[17:19] Chizuru
    You come to the lake to hunt swans for fun,
[17:25] Chizuru
    but instead of a swan, a girl
    appears, and she's your type.
[17:31] Miyako
    "Type"?
[17:36] Chizuru
    That's it. Jumpei, don't get embarrassed.
[17:39] Chizuru
    You're the prince, after all.
[17:42] Chizuru
    You're full of curiosity.
    You're innocent and confident.
[17:45] Chizuru
    You don't know what it means
    for people to dislike you.
[17:48] Chizuru
    You're a 14-year-old prince.
[17:50] Jumpei
    Oh, man!
[17:53] Jumpei
    What is this?
[17:55] Jumpei
    What are you?
[17:57] Jumpei
    This sound of premonition... won't go away!
[18:03] Jumpei
    Hey, tell me.
[18:05] Jumpei
    Tell me a secret you've never
    told anyone else before.
[18:10] Jumpei
    Look, it's like the world is changing
    from where we touch.
[18:26] Jumpei
    Tell me.
[18:28] Jumpei
    What'll happen if I touch you more?
[18:32] Chizuru
    That's enough.
[18:34] Chizuru
    Wow, you really do know the choreography.
[18:37] Chizuru
    Your acting was very good, too.
[18:40] Jumpei
    Well, I'm not sure I was acting...
[18:42] Chizuru
    Miyako, you seemed to be
    put off by the excited prince,
[18:45] Chizuru
    but that naïveté was fine, too.
[18:47] Miyako
    Wha—
[18:48] Jumpei
    "Put off"...
[18:49] Miyako
    It wasn't that I was put off!
[18:51] Miyako
    I was just... surprised...
[18:55] Chizuru
    But you forgot the basics!
[18:56] Chizuru
    Your fingers were sloppy,
    and you didn't pull up your knees.
[18:59] Chizuru
    That's what happens when you
    cram everything in so fast.
[19:02] Chizuru
    For the upcoming performance,
[19:04] Chizuru
    prioritize getting the fine positioning
     right, instead of the acting.
[19:08] Chizuru
    You'll be compared when
    dancing with Luou especially,
[19:10] Chizuru
    and the flaws in your dancing will stand out.
[19:15] Jumpei
    When is he going to come to practice?
[19:21] Jumpei
    Of course, he's probably avoiding me...
[19:41] Jumpei
    Oh, you're here!
[19:45] Jumpei
    Hey, wait a minute!
[19:47] Jumpei
    You know the part where Rothbart
    and the prince dance together?
[19:50] Jumpei
    Do it with me.
[19:52] Jumpei
    I'll go home after that.
[20:00] Jumpei
    Oh, this is when they're fighting, right?
[20:04] Jumpei
    You'll dance in the festival, right?
[20:07] Jumpei
    Whoa...
[20:16] Jumpei
    Was there a move like that
    in the choreography?
[20:23] Luou
    Go home, wild monkey.
[20:26] Jumpei
    Hey...
[20:29] Jumpei
    Why did you dance in the gym?
[20:32] Jumpei
    It's amazing, you know?
[20:34] Jumpei
    You've got like, a fan club now,
[20:37] Jumpei
    and the video from it is super popular.
[20:39] Jumpei
    Everything changed because
     of that whole thing!
[20:41] Luou
    Nothing's changed.
[20:44] Luou
    Those guys lost interest in me
    because you distracted them.
[20:50] Jumpei
    What?!
[20:52] Luou
    Were you trying to force your
    sickening "justice" on me?
[20:55] Luou
    It would've been better if they'd
    just kept making fun of me!
[20:58] Jumpei
    That's not it!
[20:59] Jumpei
    That's not it at all!
[21:02] Jumpei
    Your dancing actually reached them, too!
[21:06] Jumpei
    At least, I was able to tell them back then...
[21:10] Junpei
    and I'm here right now because...
[21:15] Junpei
    Because when you danced,
    it ended up changing my life!
[21:20] Jumpei
    That's why, you bastard...
[21:24] Jumpei
    In other words, um...
[21:29] Jumpei
    Thanks.
[21:37] Jumpei
    Anyway, I said what I wanted to say,
[21:39] Jumpei
    so I'm gonna go now!
[21:42] Jumpei
    Oh, one more thing.
[21:45] Jumpei
    It's true that I'm a wild monkey
    compared to you,
[21:49] Jumpei
    and I'm knee-deep in basic training.
[21:53] Jumpei
    But you know,
[21:55] Jumpei
    while you keep hiding in your room,
[21:58] Jumpei
    I'm gonna get better than you.
