[00:03] Mazuru
    When someone says, 
    "Ни пуха ни пера"
[00:07] (Flashback) Mazuru
    in Russia, you're supposed 
    to reply, "К чёрту."
[00:12] Luou
    Ни пуха ни пера.
[00:14] Miyako
    Hey, I made the food today.
[00:18] Miyako
    I think it came out pretty good, myself.
[00:22] Miyako
    Luou, can you hear me?
[00:24] Luou
    К чёрту.
[00:25] Mazuru
    What does it mean?
[00:26] Mazuru
    It's a charm to make everything go well.
[00:30] Mazuru
    Probably, anyway.

[02:09] Jumpei
    Oh, you're here already?
[02:13] Jumpei
    I went to pick you up.
[02:16] Jumpei
    Hey, I wanted to talk
    to you about something.
[02:19] Jumpei
    Can we talk on the way home?
[02:22] Yamamoto
    Wow! Luou, that's amazin'!
[02:24] Kotobuki
    I think he's more flexible
    than some of the regular girls.
[02:28] Yamamoto
    I can't do it!
[02:29] Jumpei
    The splits you're starting
    from are different.
SIGN    Ideal
SIGN    Jumpei
[02:33] Luou
    Your pelvis is tilted forward,
    so you can't bend back.
[02:37] Luou
    And you're bending toward your back leg.
[02:39] Jumpei
    Eh... Huh?
[02:41] Luou
    I'm saying...
[02:43] Luou
    Like this.
[02:44] Luou
    And this!
[02:45] Jumpei
    Ow, ow, ow!
[02:46] Luou
    Don't twist your body.
[02:47] Luou
    Bellybutton forward.
[02:48] Luou
    Don't turn your front leg inward!
[02:50] Luou
    Someone hold down his front leg.
[02:51] Jumpei
    Time out, time out, time out, time out!
[02:54] Luou
    You're jealous of me, right?
[02:56] Luou
    I stretched like this every day.
[02:58] Luou
    You started off flexible.
[03:01] Nakamura
    Right now, Yamato, Luou, and
    Misaki are in front of the mirror.
[03:05] Nakamura
    All three dance at a very high level,
[03:08] Nakamura
    but Luou is the best by far.
[03:10] Nakamura
    He has an uneven temper, and I'm
    worried about his willingness to learn,
[03:13] Nakamura
    but he's someone we'd
    only see once in decades.
[03:16] Nakamura
    I think he should get the scholarship.
[03:17] Ayako
    What about Murao Jumpei?
[03:19] Nakamura
    Huh? Oh, right.
[03:21] Nakamura
    Murao's face is so expressive.
[03:24] Nakamura
    I like that.
[03:25] Nakamura
    You can see when he's "on,"
    and it fuels expectations.
[03:28] Ayako
    Nakamura-sensei, I'm not asking
    what you think about him.
[03:33] Ayako
    I want to know if he would be
    worthy of the scholarship.
[03:37] Nakamura
    Give the scholarship to Murao?
[03:41] Yamamoto
    What? Should I let go?
[03:43] Jumpei
    No... I'll do it!
[03:46] Ayako
    Stop that at once!
[03:49] Ayako
    He could've been injured!
[03:52] Ayako
    Current standard practice is to use only
    your own body weight when stretching.
[03:55] Ayako
    It's very dangerous to have others
     exert so much strength on you.
[04:00] Ayako
    That way is outdated.
[04:01] Ayako
    Did you learn this from your grandmother?
[04:04] Ayako
    I think I understand
    why your mother, Mazuru,
[04:07] Ayako
    ran away from your grandmother.
[04:11] Ayako
    She had so much talent.
[04:13] Ayako
    If only she'd been blessed
    with a good teacher...
[04:19] Luou
    You say it's outdated...
[04:23] Luou
    But I was never injured.
[04:26] Luou
    And there's no one at Oikawa
[04:28] Luou
    who can dance better than me, is there?
[04:32] Jumpei
    Oh, he said it out loud!
[04:35] Ayako
    I wonder about that.
[04:41] Ayako
    I'll come watch the afternoon
    class for a bit today.
[04:45] Ayako
    I'm looking forward to it.
[04:51] Yamamoto
    Oikawa Ayako-san's smile doesn't reach
    her eyes, and it scares the crap outta me!
[04:55] Kotobuki
    I hear she treats the ones she likes
     as though they're in a stress interview.
[04:59] Kotobuki
    She must have her eye on you, Luou.
[05:01] Yamamoto
    Really? I wouldn't want that, though.
[05:04] Yamamoto
    I'd rather improve through praise.
[05:05] Jumpei
    Anyway, what do you wanna eat?
[05:06] Misaki
    Luou, can I talk to you?
[05:07] Kotobuki
    Definitely no ramen. We've still
    got the afternoon class.
[05:09] Misaki
    I couldn't say it until now,
[05:11] Misaki
    but I'm actually a fan of Mori Mazuru-san.
[05:15] Misaki
    You look just like her.
    I can't believe I couldn't tell.
[05:18] Misaki
    Your little brother's cute, too, huh?
[05:21] Misaki
    Huh? You knew about her new
    partner and their son, right?
[05:25] Misaki
    You couldn't have possibly missed it, right?
[05:27] Misaki
    She even had pictures up on social media.
[05:31] Misaki
    I think he's about four.
[05:33] Misaki
    It sounds like Mazuru-san
    went through a lot,
[05:35] Misaki
    but she seems happy now.
[05:38] Misaki
    You aren't goin' to live with her?
[05:42] Luou
    Lies.
[05:43] Misaki
    Huh?
[05:44] Luou
    She just makes it look like she's happy.
[05:49] Luou
    That woman's a dirty liar.
[05:52] Luou
    I don't want anything more to do with her.
[05:56] Misaki
    Well, I guess that didn't work...
[06:12] Ayako
    Your dancing is dynamic,
    with consistent technique.
[06:14] Ayako
    Your smile is cute, too.
[06:16] Ayako
    But your connecting movements are sloppy.
[06:18] Ayako
    You're not graceful enough for a prince.
[06:21] Ayako
    Instead of seeing Swan Lake, 
    I see a Shiga lake.
[06:25] Yamamoto
    What?! You mean Lake Biwa?!
[06:28] Ayako
    You boys are dancing
    the part of Prince Siegfried.
[06:32] Ayako
    Grace over quirkiness.
[06:34] Ayako
    Elegance over vigor.
[06:36] Ayako
    On the last day,
[06:37] Ayako
    please take me to the world of Swan Lake.
[06:42] Jumpei
    It's completely different
    from what Chizuru-san said.
[06:45] Ayako
    Next.
[06:46] Nakamura
    Luou.
[06:52] Luou
    Ни пуха ни пера.
SIGN    I pray for your success.
[06:57] (Flashback) Mazuru
    К чёрту.
SIGN    To the devil!
[06:59] (Flashback) Mazuru
    Luou, I'll definitely come back for you!
[07:04] (Flashback) Mazuru
    If you start missing me,
    just say this charm.
[07:07] (Flashback) Mazuru
    Even if we're apart, I'll answer you!
[07:36] Nakamura
    Luou, what's wrong?
[07:41] Nakamura
    Luou?
[07:42] Ayako
    If you're not going to
    perform, then move back.
[07:46] Ayako
    You're in the way.
[07:54] Jumpei
    Luou!
[07:56] Ayako
    Leave him.
[08:05] Jumpei
    Luou!
[08:06] Jumpei
    What're you doing? Don't leave!
[08:08] Jumpei
    Is it what he said about your mom?
[08:10] Luou
    No!
[08:11] Luou
    It's because there's nothing
    for me to learn here!
[08:15] Luou
    Or from Chizuru-san, either!
[08:18] Luou
    That's why I wanted to go overseas!
[08:22] Luou
    But I don't care about that anymore, either.
[08:24] Luou
    So what if I can do ballet?
[08:29] Jumpei
    You idiot! What's your deal?!
[08:31] Jumpei
    Don't you like doing ballet?
[08:33] Luou
    No, I hate it!
[08:35] Luou
    I was just forced to do it!
[08:39] Jumpei
    What?!
[08:42] Jumpei
    Liar! You do like ballet!
[08:47] Yamamoto
    We're done!
[08:51] Tsumamura
    Jumpei-kun.
[08:53] Tsumamura
    Ayako-san requested that
    you come to the office.
[08:56] Jumpei
    Oh, crap! Is she gonna tell
     me to quit showing up?
[08:59] Jumpei
    She didn't have any comments
    for me earlier, either.
[09:03] Tsumamura
    I wonder.

[09:11] Miyako
    Excuse me.
[09:18] Jumpei
    You were summoned by Ayako-san?
[09:19] Jumpei
    Is it because of me and Luou?
[09:21] Miyako
    Oh, no.
[09:23] Miyako
    It was about me. About what I'm thinking...
[09:29] Miyako
    Oh, I heard Luou left
    in the middle of class?
[09:36] Miyako
    To Luou, Grandma's word is absolute,
[09:38] Miyako
    and she rejected Japanese ballet because
    she thought Russia was the best.
[09:45] Miyako
    I thought maybe you'd
    helped him change a little,
[09:48] Miyako
    but I guess it's not that easy.
[09:51] Jumpei
    I'll go pick up Luou tomorrow morning.
[09:57] Jumpei
    Hey...
[09:58] Jumpei
    Let's go somewhere!
[09:59] Miyako
    Huh?
[10:00] Jumpei
    It's summer vacation... The last day!
[10:02] Jumpei
    After the summer school variation
    performances, let's go somewhere...
[10:06] Jumpei
    The two of us!
[10:09] Miyako
    Yeah!
[10:11] Jumpei
    Yeah! I like her!
[10:13] Jumpei
    Cutest in the world. Cutest in the world.
[10:15] Jumpei
    Cutest in the world. Cutest in the world.
[10:19] Jumpei
    It's Murao. Excuse me...
[10:27] Jumpei
    Is this the Romeo and Juliet 
    from the other day?
[10:30] Ayako
    Reverence!
[10:43] Ayako
    Well, Murao Jumpei-kun?
    How have the last six days been?
[10:46] Ayako
    Your world has changed
    considerably, has it not?
[10:50] Ayako
    Your dancing and attitude
    are completely different.
[10:53] Ayako
    You wouldn't have changed
    that much without trying.
[10:58] Ayako
    I'll get straight to the point.
[11:00] Ayako
    I'm thinking of giving you
    the scholarship to the SS class.
[11:06] Ayako
    Every year, we keep one spot open
    for a student from the summer school.
[11:11] Ayako
    I'd like to know if you are interested.
[11:15] Jumpei
    C-Crap...
[11:17] Jumpei
    I'm really happy!
[11:18] Ayako
    If you get the scholarship,
[11:20] Ayako
    it's proof that I've acknowledged you, right?
[11:24] Jumpei
    U-Um, but why?
[11:27] Jumpei
    Why me?
[11:29] Jumpei
    I mean, Luou is way better than me.
[11:32] Ayako
    That's true. He's already quite skilled,
[11:36] Ayako
    and his performances
    miraculously draw people in.
[11:39] Ayako
    However,
[11:41] Ayako
    he cannot become a professional.
[11:44] Ayako
    To leave class just because
    he was shaken by something...
[11:47] Ayako
    He's too mentally weak.
    He can't get along with others.
[11:50] Ayako
    He has no common sense.
[11:53] Ayako
    Above all,
[11:54] Ayako
    no matter how talented someone is,
[11:56] Ayako
    if they don't want to learn, 
    there's nothing we can do here.
[12:03] Ayako
    Don't tell me Chizuru-san also told you
[12:05] Ayako
    that you had to be the best in Russia?
[12:09] Jumpei
    It's not that she said I "had"
    to be. I'm the one who—
[12:13] Ayako
    I see. What made you say that?
[12:17] Jumpei
    I just thought... it'd be cool...
[12:20] Jumpei
    to be the best in Russia, or something...
[12:22] Ayako
    I see. I understand.
[12:24] Ayako
    Will you listen to what
    I'm aiming for, as well?
[12:28] Ayako
    I want to raise the status of
    the Japanese ballet world.
[12:34] Ayako
    Up to heights that will drive overseas
    dancers to want to join Oikawa.
[12:38] Ayako
    To accomplish that,
    many things need to be done.
[12:43] Ayako
    Salaries and guarantees for dancers,
    the repertoire, sponsors,
[12:47] Ayako
    and even perhaps cultivating
    the audience for ballets.
[12:51] Ayako
    And a star dancer who will become
    the target of absolute adoration is essential.
[12:57] Ayako
    A principal who will make ballet history...
[13:00] Ayako
    It'd be even better if they
    were trained by Oikawa, too.
[13:03] Ayako
    That's what I want you to become.
[13:07] Ayako
    Don't you think that's even
    more preposterous and interesting
[13:10] Ayako
    than aiming to be a top Russian dancer?
[13:17] Ayako
    So, here are the conditions for
    awarding you the scholarship.
[13:22] Ayako
    You will eventually join the Oikawa company,
[13:26] Ayako
    and stop attending
    the Godai Ballet Studio.
[13:28] Ayako
    If you cannot accept those conditions
    and do not want the scholarship,
SIGN    Godai Ballet Studio
[13:35] Ayako
    then please do not come
    to the variation performances
[13:39] Ayako
    on the last day of summer school.
[13:43] Jumpei
    Chizuru-san, I...
[13:45] Jumpei
    I was acknowledged by Ayako-san!
[13:47] Jumpei
    Now the little kids will come back, too!
[13:50] Chizuru
    What, are you planning on accepting
    the scholarship for the SS class?
[13:53] Jumpei
    You're sharp!
[13:55] Jumpei
    I thought I'd go to both schools!
[14:00] Chizuru
    You can't do that.
[14:01] Chizuru
    That doesn't sound like something
    Ayako-san would allow.
[14:04] Chizuru
    It's against the rules.
[14:06] Chizuru
    What about becoming a top dancer in Russia?
[14:09] Chizuru
    If you accept the scholarship, you will
    be expected to join Oikawa eventually.
[14:12] Jumpei
    Yeah, but it sounds like they have an
    overseas study abroad training program,
[14:18] Jumpei
    so I thought I'd take the chance if
    I could get it. Like you, Chizuru-san!
[14:22] Jumpei
    Ayako-san told me.
[14:24] Jumpei
    Even though you were studying under
    the previous artistic director, Oikawa Haruka,
[14:27] Jumpei
    you went to study abroad in Russia, right?
[14:29] Jumpei
    You got prestige for dancing in Russia,
[14:31] Jumpei
    then came back to Oikawa
    and joined the company,
[14:33] Jumpei
    so I could return the favor the same way—
[14:34] Chizuru
    Idiot!
[14:36] Chizuru
    The ballet world is more
    connected than you think.
[14:39] Chizuru
    A bad reputation will stay with you
    as long as you're still dancing.
[14:42] Chizuru
    And nothing can replace
    the shine of a dancer on the rise.
[14:47] Chizuru
    I wasn't able to return the favor at all.
[14:50] Chizuru
    And now that Haruka-san is gone,
[14:52] Chizuru
    it's something that will stay
    with me for the rest of my life.
[14:57] Jumpei
    Then... going to Russia...
[14:59] Chizuru
    I don't regret it.
[15:02] Chizuru
    I wanted to go. I can't help that.
[15:04] Chizuru
    I'm saying you can't go into it knowing
     you won't fulfill the condition.
[15:07] Jumpei
    Chizuru-san, you really
    think outside the box, huh?
[15:10] Jumpei
    You didn't get mad at the ballet
    festival, either. Unlike Ayako-san.
[15:14] Chizuru
    What was there to be mad about?
[15:15] Chizuru
    It was truly fun to watch.
[15:21] Jumpei
    That makes me so happy.
[15:24] Jumpei
    But...
[15:25] Jumpei
    I feel like someone like me can't just stay
    in a place that accepts that part of me.
[15:32] Jumpei
    Going to a place as strict as
    Oikawa made me think that.
[15:37] Jumpei
    That's why I thought maybe I'd go to both—
[15:39] Chizuru
    Very well!
[15:40] Chizuru
    Don't show your face here anymore.
[15:43] Chizuru
    Putting aside the rules,
[15:46] Chizuru
    if you don't think being here
    is helping you anymore,
[15:48] Chizuru
    and you can't do what I say
    and trust me 100%,
[15:52] Chizuru
    then we can't work together anymore.
[15:55] Chizuru
    Goodbye, then. Do your best at Oikawa.
[16:03] Jumpei
    You're kidding, right?
[16:05] Jumpei
    If that's the case, I'll stay at Godai!
[16:07] Jumpei
    I won't take the scholarship at Oikawa!
[16:10] Jumpei
    Chizuru-san!
[16:17] Jumpei
    I'll find a good time to talk to her.
[16:21] Jumpei
    But today's only the seventh day of
    summer school, a regular lesson day.
SIGN    Seventh Day of Summer School
[16:26] Jumpei
    It's okay for me to go to Oikawa, right?
[16:31] Jumpei
    What?! Me, in front of the mirror?!
[16:33] Yamamoto
    What?!
[16:37] Jumpei
    But Luou's the best.
[16:41] Ayako
    He cannot become a professional.
[16:45] (Flashback) Ayako
    The curse on that boy isn't
     something that is easily broken.
[16:50] Jumpei
    That's not right!
[16:52] Jumpei
    I can't believe she doesn't acknowledge him!
[16:55] Jumpei
    How can that curse be broken?
SIGN    Boys' Changing Room
[17:00] Yamamoto
    Tomorrow's the last day, huh?
[17:02] Yamamoto
    It felt long, but also went by so fast...
[17:05] Kotobuki
    It's too early for nostalgia!
[17:07] Kotobuki
    There's still the big climax:
    the variation performances!
[17:10] Misaki
    Jumpei, are ya comin' tomorrow?
[17:14] Misaki
    You came to get revenge for the
     criticism about Godai-sensei, right?
[17:18] Misaki
    Does Godai-san even want ya to do that?
[17:23] Jumpei
    Yeah, you're right.
[17:25] Jumpei
    It'd make sense not to show up tomorrow.
[17:29] Jumpei
    But I kinda want the scholarship now!
[17:33] Jumpei
    Sorry!
[17:39] Misaki
    What the hell?
[17:40] Misaki
    What do you mean, you "kinda" want it?!
[17:43] Misaki
    I've been workin' toward this 
    scholarship for the past year.
[17:46] Misaki
    It was my only hope for continuin' with ballet.
[17:50] Misaki
    Who the hell do you think you are,
    just wanderin' in like that and...
[17:54] Misaki
    I understand how Luou feels!
[17:56] Misaki
    Did ya even realize
     Luou likes Miyako-chan?
[18:01] Misaki
    You two kissed, didn't ya? What a joke!
[18:04] Misaki
    Luou saw it, too!
[18:06] Misaki
    You're so damn oblivious!
[18:07] Misaki
    You don't even try to see 
    how other people feel!
[18:09] Yamamoto
    Hey!
[18:11] Misaki
    You just waltz in and take
    the best part for yourself!
[18:15] Yamamoto
    Misaki, what's wrong? This isn't like ya!
[18:19] Jumpei
    I...
[18:21] Jumpei
    I've liked ballet for eight years.
[18:25] Yamamoto
    What's that got to do with it?
[18:26] Jumpei
    I always,
[18:27] Jumpei
    always wanted to do it!
[18:30] Jumpei
    It was my own fault for not having
    the courage to go to lessons.
[18:33] Jumpei
    But I danced in my own way in secret,
[18:37] Jumpei
    and now, I'm finally learning real ballet!
[18:41] Jumpei
    I...
[18:42] Jumpei
    I wanna get better, too!
[18:49] Jumpei
    That's all...
[18:50] Jumpei
    That's all there is to it.
    What's wrong with that?
[18:55] Jumpei
    I want Chizuru-san to teach me.
[18:58] Jumpei
    But...
[19:01] Jumpei
    in order...
[19:04] Jumpei
    to get better...
[19:32] Jumpei
    If I'm... at Oikawa...
[19:35] Miyako
    Jumpei!
[19:42] Miyako
    I'm glad... I caught you!
[19:45] Miyako
    Look, I grabbed a bunch of movie flyers.
[19:48] Miyako
    You like movies, right?
[19:50] Miyako
    I thought it'd be nice to get an After 5
    ticket for an amusement park, too,
[19:54] Miyako
    but we'd only be there for a couple of hours.
[19:56] Jumpei
    Oh, you mean tomorrow?
[19:59] Jumpei
    I can't believe it...
[20:01] Jumpei
    She's super excited about it!
[20:05] Jumpei
    I've decided. I'll stay at Godai!
[20:08] Jumpei
    Yeah, I mean, Chizuru-san
    focuses on the basics like Oikawa.
[20:12] Jumpei
    Besides, there's no one at Oikawa
    who's better than Luou.
[20:16] (Flashback) Ayako
    He cannot become a professional.
[20:23] Miyako
    Huh?
[20:24] Jumpei
    I said, I'm not going to today's
    variation performances,
[20:28] Jumpei
    so let's go to an amusement park!
[20:29] Miyako
    What? No, you have to perform.
[20:31] Miyako
    You worked so hard this past week.
[20:34] Miyako
    Your dancing's changed in a good way!
[20:37] Jumpei
    Yeah... I'm grateful to Ayako-san...
[20:41] Jumpei
    But I'm not going.
[20:43] Jumpei
    That said...
[20:44] Jumpei
    I'm comin' in!
[20:45] Miyako
    Wha—
[20:47] Jumpei
    Luou! You're in there, right?
[20:49] Jumpei
    Right now, Miyako and I are going
    on somethin' like a date—
[20:53] Jumpei
    No, it is a date!
[20:55] Jumpei
    It's definitely, totally a date!
[20:57] Jumpei
    Are you stupid? You... I mean,
    she's such a c-c-c-cute girl!
[21:01] Jumpei
    Right under your nose, too...
[21:03] Jumpei
    It's a huge turn of events! Idiot! Dumbass!
[21:06] Jumpei
    It's 'cause you just stay locked up in there!
[21:08] Jumpei
    That's why Ayako-san says
    you can't become a pro!
[21:12] Jumpei
    Doesn't that piss you off?!
[21:14] Jumpei
    C'mon, you gotta go to
    the variation performances!
[21:18] Jumpei
    While I'm enjoying the springtime of life,
[21:20] Jumpei
    you should go show Ayako-san
    just how good you are!
[21:24] Jumpei
    Make her feel like you're someone
    who needs to be shown to the world!
[21:28] Jumpei
    Make her eat her damn words!
[21:30] Jumpei
    C'mon!
[21:32] Jumpei
    If you don't, then it'll piss me off!
[21:37] Jumpei
    Hey! Are you listeni—
[21:41] Jumpei
    It's unlocked...
[21:43] Jumpei
    Luou?

[23:21] Jumpei
    The only warmth Luou ever knew
    was Miyako. She was his light.
