[00:02] Yu
There is a family that's seemingly
connected and yet separated—
[00:06] Yu
and also seemingly separated
but still connected.
[00:10] Yu
This is their story.

Saika Academy.
[00:18] Yu
A school where gifted students
cultivate their talents.
[00:23] Yu
For those aspiring to the performing arts,
athletics, or advanced classes,
[00:27] Yu
the education available at this school
is considered nothing short of the best.
SIGN Champion
[00:32] Yu
As our story begins, I have just transferred
to this elite school. And yet...
[00:41] Vice captain
You're weak! This is pathetic, Yu Ayase!
[00:44] Vice captain
And you call yourself Subaru Ayase's son?
[00:48] Student A
Can he really be related
to such a gifted actress?
[00:50] Student B
He bombed the advanced class test, too.
[00:52] Student B
I wonder how he'll bounce back.
[00:55] Student A
Prodigies do often keep
their real talents under wraps.
[00:58] Student B
I suppose.
[01:00] Yu
Yes. My mom's the Subaru Ayase.
[01:05] Yu
An A-list actress known the world over.
[01:09] Yu
A born thespian with looks to match
who performed her own dangerous stunts.
[01:14] Yu
She was such a genius that
she graduated top of her class
[01:17] Yu
at a famous university abroad.
[01:19] Vice Captain
What gives, Yu Ayase?
[01:21] Vice Captain
Show me you mean business!
[01:23] Vice Captain
The Three Royals,
the top students at this school,
[01:26] Vice Captain
want to know what kind of talent you have!
[01:29] Yu
And I told you I've never done
any combat sport in my life!
[01:33] Vice Captain
Stop griping and engage me!

Are you messing around?!
[01:56] Students
...a total failure?!
[02:00] Student
A failure?
[02:00] Student
Subaru Ayase's son?
[02:02] Student
For real?
[02:03] Student
This is insane!
[02:05] Yu
People think the son of a prodigy
must also be a prodigy.
[02:08] Yu
They hold unrealistic expectations for me,
only to disappoint themselves.
[02:11] Yu
It happens to me all the time,
always following the same script.
[02:15] Yu
At 17 years of age,
I've long since gotten used to it.
[02:19] Vice Captain
Jeez...
[02:20] Yu
Have you ever heard this saying?
[02:24] Yu
"The more mediocre you are,
the more you obsess over talent."
[02:29] Vice Captain
Th-The gaze of a top actress...
He has the looks, if nothing else!
[02:36] Vice Captain
Don't say that!
[02:37] Vice Captain
You're in no position to be
lecturing me! Literally!
[02:39] Vice Captain
And if anything, you're the
most mediocre one here!
[02:43] Yu
I know that.
[02:45] Yu
So I know what I'm saying.
[02:47] Yu
I've seen real talent, up close and personal.
[02:51] Yu
Anyway, thanks. I'll take my leave.
[02:53] Vice Captain
Just like that?!
[02:55] Vice Captain
H-He's that used to losing...
[02:57] Teammate
This is bad, Vice-Captain.
[02:59] Teammate
He can't be a failure at sports too.
[03:01] Teammate
The Three Royals have high hopes for him.
[03:03] Vice Captain
Crap!
[03:04] Vice Captain
Then I need to beat you into shape...
[03:09] Vice Captain
until you show talent!
[03:19] Niko
Don't harass amateurs.
It's an embarrassment to martial arts.
[03:23] Teammates
C-Captain!
[03:25] Miwa
That's the son of an actress for ya.
He knows how to seize the spotlight.
[03:29] Kazuki
Do we know how he did on the test?
[03:37] Student
Hey, that's...
[03:41] Student
That's Kazuki-sama
from the performing arts program!
[03:43] Student
Tickets to her shows instantly sell out!
[03:45] Student
She's the star of
her world-famous theater troupe!
[03:49] Student
That's Miwa-san of the advanced program!
[03:51] Student
Aced every subject in the entrance exam!
[03:53] Student

It's the Royals!
The Three Royals are here!
[04:11] Yu
The Three Royals?
The top students of each program?
[04:16] Yu
These three are the sovereigns
who basically rule the school!
[04:20] Kazuki
Hi there, new kid.
[04:25] Yu
And... they're all girls?
[04:28] Kazuki
So how did he do on the test?
SIGN home.01 Prodigy and Mediocrity
[04:31] Vice Captain

[04:37] Kazuki
A mediocre hack with zero talent?
[04:40] Yu
Yeah, um...
[04:42] Niko
Jeez, and I thought I'd get to
train him in the athletic program.
[04:45] Miwa
What a letdown.

You said I'm unwelcome here. So goodbye.

Hold up.
[05:16] Yu
What now?
[05:17] Niko
You still need to clean the dojo.
[05:20] Yu
You're the ones who made me
come here to take your program's test.
[05:24] Yu
Why must I do chores if I'm not a member?
[05:27] Niko
I didn't ask your opinion.
The losing side does the cleanup.
[05:32] Niko
You better get on your hands and knees
and clean like the loser you are.
[05:36] Niko
Let's go home.
[05:37] Kazuki
Yeah.
[05:38] Miwa
Whatta waste of time.
[05:41] Student
Subaru Ayase's son is just some mediocre guy?

I'll dedicate everything to you...
until my last breath.
[06:50] Yu
That was when I noticed that my mom
was a prodigy, while I was mediocre.
[07:02] Yu
As I went from one rude awakening to another,
I began to distance myself from my mom.
[07:08] Yu
Even though she was the only family I had.
[07:17] Yu
In all that time, I never realized.
[07:21] Yu
Back then, she would constantly rewatch
a series she had costarred in.
SIGN Homemade Bride
[07:26] Yu
It was a show about a family,
and she played the mother.

What do you like best about it?
[07:50] (Flashback) Yu
Uh, well... It's nothing exciting, really.
[07:54] (Flashback) Yu
But... you know how each episode
ends with family dinner?
[07:58] (Flashback) Yu
They simply smile and have fun
chatting about random stuff.
[08:02] (Flashback) Subaru
I love those parts, too.
[08:05] (Flashback) Yu
Yeah...
[08:07] Yu
That day, I had a real heart-to-heart

My mom had always wanted a family
like the one in the series, too.

Three daughters?
[11:53] Yu
My mom, the star actress,
left me a simple dying wish.
[11:57] Yu
For me, her son, to find a happy family.
[12:06] Yu
This is a story about how I,
the mediocre Yu Ayase,
[12:09] Yu
became family with the three
gifted Mikadono sisters.
[12:21] Yu
A lone boy like me, recently bereaved
by the loss of his mother,
[12:24] Yu
gets to live alone with three
gorgeous and gifted sisters?
[12:30] Yu
It's a situation right out of a dream.
[12:33] Yu
My only hope...
[12:37] Yu
is that it really is a dream.
[12:41] Niko
Well, if it was Dad's decision, we can't
exactly throw you out on your ass.
[12:45] Kazuki
I can't believe he'd take in
a failure like you.
[12:48] Miwa
I'm not taking care of a dumb mooch.
[12:51] Yu
I'm not feeling very welcome here!
[12:55] Yu
No, be strong!
[12:57] Yu
Even if they are the Three Royals,
[12:59] Yu
we can still be a happy family together!

Let me pick up these strangely
damp broken dishes, at least.
[14:00] Kazuki
Gulp!
[14:01] Niko
Oh? So you did try to wash them.
[14:03] Miwa
She musta given up out of frustration midway.
[14:09] Yu

Didn't you score a 45 on your aptitude test?

Forty-two, actually.
[14:43] Niko
And my teammate mopped the floor with you!
[14:46] Miwa
You scored below average
on all the advanced class tests.

I can do this anytime you want.

Wh-What was that?

It's seven in the morning,

And this one's arguing with an AI.

That reminds me. This is just
how it was with my mom.

When I cooked breakfast,
she'd leave without eating it.

But then she'd make
a bunch of food just for herself.

Will it ever work out with me
and those three sisters?
[17:57] Niko
Where'd all this food come from?
[18:00] Yu
Oh, I made it from some ingredients
that were about to spoil.
[18:08] Yu
I made extra, if you'd like some.
[18:10] Niko
You mean it?

then I'll just eat it all. Like this!

and it's as important as training.

Ah, crap! I'll be late!
[18:52] Miwa
I'll be late too!
[19:00] Yu
It really is a headache.
[19:02] Yu
Who puts being the best ahead
of eating what you really want to?
[19:07] Yu
Oh, right...
[19:09] Yu
Mom would go on diets to play certain roles.
[19:14] Yu
Kazuki-san does it to be the troupe's top star.
[19:17] Yu
Miwa-san craves sweets to fuel her brain.
[19:23] Yu
Prodigies can be so self-centered,
they're blind to all else.
[19:28] Yu
But that's because they're driven.
[19:31] Yu
I wonder when I became so scared
of my mom that I stopped talking to her
[19:36] Yu
because I didn't understand her.
[19:47] Miwa
Kazu-nee, you're too slow
to put on your shoes!

[20:14] Yu
Have a nice day!
[20:25] All
That's it?
[20:27] Miwa
That's so stupid!
[20:28] Kazuki
You'll disturb the neighbors.
[20:30] Niko
Don't spook us like that, moron!
[20:32] Yu
That didn't reach them at all.
[20:35] Yu
But that's fine.
[20:37] Yu
I just need to start doing what I can
to bring us together as a family.
[20:42] Niko
That goof...
[20:44] Niko
Why'd he look so serious when saying that?
[20:51] Niko
Wh-Why do I look so stupid?!
[20:58] Kazuki
He said, "Have a nice day."
[21:00] Miwa
He was just saying goodbye!
[21:03] All
Still...
[21:05] All
I kind of liked it.
[21:11] Yu
Hello?
[21:12] Mr. Mikadono
Morning, Yu-kun.
[21:13] Yu
Good morning, Mr. Mikadono.
[21:16] Mr. Mikadono
How goes your first morning there?
[21:19] Yu
I've managed to settle in.
[21:21] Mr. Mikadono
That's great to hear.
[21:22] Mr. Mikadono
The thing is, I'm very busy with work.
[21:25] Mr. Mikadono
So unfortunately, I can't come home too often.
[21:28] Yu
Huh?
[21:29] Yu
So in other words, I'll be spending
a lot of time alone with those three?
[21:33] Mr. Mikadono
On that note, I need to ask a favor.
[21:37] Yu
A favor?
[21:39] Mr. Mikadono
Yeah. It won't be long before my daughters
run into obstacles of their own.
[21:44] Mr. Mikadono
You could call it the fate of all prodigies.
[21:47] Mr. Mikadono
What I want from you is to be
my daughters' helping hand.
[21:53] Mr. Mikadono
If you help them overcome
their obstacles, my daughters...
[21:58] Mr. Mikadono
should open up to you.
[22:01] Yu
I'm supposed to help
those three gifted sisters?
[22:05] Yu
Me? The mediocre guy?

What I want from you is to be
my daughters' helping hand.
[00:07] Yu
You want me to help them?
[00:09] Mr. Mikadono
That's right. For starters...
[00:12] Mr. Mikadono
Kazuki's facing a tough audition.
[00:14] Mr. Mikadono
Niko's aiming to be the repeat
national karate champion.
[00:16] Mr. Mikadono
And Miwa has an upcoming shogi title match.
[00:19] Mr. Mikadono
If you overcome those obstacles with them,
[00:22] Mr. Mikadono
it'll create opportunities
for you and my daughters to bond.
[00:26] Yu
Of course!
[00:27] Mr. Mikadono
I'm counting on you, Yu-kun.
[00:36] Yu
Wait, do they even need my help?
[00:41] Yu
I'm average or worse in both
athletics and academics.
[00:45] Yu
I'm completely mediocre.
[00:46] Yu
How am I supposed to help prodigies
at the top of their game?
[00:52] Yu
They even work hard during weekends.
[00:56] Yu
But still... What if...
[01:03] Yu
What if they do end up failing
to overcome their challenges?

[01:13] (Flashback) Voice
What a disappointment.
[01:16] Yu
That was hard enough for
a mediocre guy like me.
[01:21] Yu
I guess I'll just have to do what I can.
[01:25] Yu
But first, we need to learn

Not everyone would notice, but I could tell
you added some emotion to that line.

After 14 years of failure... I finally did it.
[20:50] Yu
I finally acted with emotion...
[20:54] Yu
I did it, Mom!
[20:56] Kazuki
You're making it too sad!
[20:59] Kazuki
Besides, I thought you were
helping me practice!
[21:01] Yu
Yes, I was. But I was so happy.
[21:05] Kazuki
What a goofball.
Who gets emotional over one line?
[21:10] Kazuki
Jeez, I envy that.

I hope I can get back to acting soon.

So, new kid.

be tasty and full of nutrients!

It's something I have to request.

It's no big deal, as long

I added grated carrots, actually.

Jeez.

Those girls...

All they do is create more work for me.
[10:46] Yu

going to be like a TV show.
[10:51] Yu
Then again...

The first time we all ate at the same table,

we really enjoyed ourselves,
though I couldn't explain how.
[11:01] Yu
I hope I get to spend more time
with those three sisters.

Though it'll probably take a while
with those quirky prodigies.

Look at them smiling and getting along!
They're like angels!

Still, it's nice knowing
they had this childhood.

[11:51] Miwa
Beats me.

I don't hold on to old mementos.
[11:55] Kazuki
It's a family photo.
It doesn't belong to anyone.
[12:01] Yu
No one is claiming it,
but that can't be right.
[12:05] Yu
Which means...
[12:09] Yu
Someone's lying to me.
[12:12] Yu
One of them must've treasured
this photo enough to keep it—
[12:18] Yu
someone who's probably wishing
she could go back to that time.
[12:24] Yu
So far, I've only cared about ways
I could bond with the sisters myself.
[12:29] Yu
But part of being family is thinking
about what they want, too.
[12:35] Yu
That said...

[18:41] Miwa
Kazu-nee?
[18:42] Niko
Are you sure?
[18:43] Kazuki
This should provide decent material
for my social media updates.
[18:46] Kazuki
However, did you two bring
nothing classier to wear?
[18:49] Kazuki
I will insist on tasteful attire
if you wish to accompany me.
[18:53] Yu
I can handle that!
[18:55] Yu
Leave it to your festival conductor!

Welcome to our...
[19:05] Sales associate
Th-The Mikadono sisters?!
[19:08] Yu
Excuse me, can you help us
find the right kimonos for them?
[19:12] Sales associate
Even their auras are dazzling...
[19:15] Sales associate
The younger sisters' outfits aside,
they're top-class beauties!
[19:19] Sales associate
Leave it to me!
I'll find the very best kimonos for you!
[19:27] Kazuki
Not bad.
[19:29] Yu
You're incredible, Kazuki-san!
You look awesome in traditional attire!
[19:33] Kazuki
Naturally.
[19:34] Sales associate
The down-to-earth, chic monotone fabric
[19:36] Sales associate
is paired with luxuriously bold
golden chrysanthemums!
[19:39] Sales associate
The perfect ensemble for a
tall woman with mature charms!
[19:44] Miwa
Check this out, Kazu-nee!
[19:46] Miwa
I'm goin' with the kitty pattern!
[19:48] Yu
Retro-modern! I love it!
[19:51] Kazuki
You're as sneaky as a cat,
so it's tailor-made for you, Miwa.
[19:55] Sales associate
Cats and catnip flowers is a combination
that's playful and idiosyncratic,
[19:59] Sales associate
but it's absolutely perfect for
someone as quirkily adorable as her!
[20:04] Yu
What about Niko-san?
[20:10] Yu
Don't you like kimonos?
[20:12] Niko
Not in the least.
[20:14] Yu
But there are so many choices.
You don't like any of them?
[20:18] Niko
No, I don't! So leave me alone!
[20:21] Niko
I'd look weird in one, anyway.
[20:25] Sales associate
I beg to disagree!
[20:27] Sales associate
Would you care for this one?
[20:28] Sales associate
The denim and lightning pattern
project a sharp and audacious design.
[20:33] Sales associate
It'll be perfect for a strong,
handsome girl like you.
[20:42] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
Niko.
[20:44] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
You should wear these instead.
[20:47] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
You like clothes you can move easily in.
[20:49] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
You're a tomboy, after all.
[20:54] Niko
I'm not...
[20:54] Yu
What?
[20:56] Yu
You've already picked one?
[20:59] Kazuki
New kid, is that supposed to be for Niko?
[21:02] Miwa
Pink fabric with flowers?
[21:04] Miwa
That's too girly and pretty for Niko-chan.
[21:07] Yu
I don't think so.
[21:10] Yu
I think it fits someone cute and petite
like Niko-san perfectly.
[21:14] Sales associate
She certainly is cute, but she
would look handsome in this.
[21:18] Yu
Sure, that one is nice, but...
[21:20] Yu
Niko-san!
[21:21] Yu
You should choose which one you want to wear.
[21:32] Miwa
Sheesh...
[21:34] Miwa
You're takin' forever!
[21:35] Kazuki
Hurry it up, Niko!
[21:37] Niko
Shut it, you guys!
[21:38] Niko
They're fixing my hair, too!
[21:58] Niko
I guess... I do look weird.

Keep it! You can't always expect

I noticed you were walking
more gingerly than usual,

"Does anyone have a bandage I could use?"

What stopped you from saying that?

Hmph, you miserable nobody.

I serve as everybody's prince.
[05:01] Kazuki
The idea that the heroic prince
would need saving is utterly nonsensical.
[05:06] Yu
Why should it matter who is saved?
[05:09] Yu
I think a prince has
every right to be the princess.

SIGN Test Your Competitor's Luck
by Lotus Hopping!
<- This Way
[07:08] Barker
Come one, come all!
[07:10] Barker
Come test your luck at this
once-a-year night festival!
[07:14] Barker
Just cross the pond on these lotus leaves!
[07:19] Barker
Whoever makes it to the torii gate
by hopping on the lotus-shaped platforms
[07:23] Barker
will be blessed with
unbeatable competitor's luck!
[07:26] Barker
In addition, the winner will also get to take
a photo with the shrine's golden guardian!
[07:32] Barker
Using the photo as your phone wallpaper
will boost your luck, guaranteed!
[07:36] Yu
Here it is!
[07:38] Yu
The sisters took that photo
at this very shrine.
[07:41] Yu
And they were holding that guardian statue!
[07:44] Yu
All right...
[07:45] Yu
If I reach the goal on those lotus leaves,
I'll win the right to take another photo.
[07:50] Yu
Then I can re-create
that same scene in the photo!
[07:54] Yu
That way, they're sure to recall how close
they were back when they were kids!
[08:01] Participant
What just happened?
[08:03] Participant
Some of the lotus leaves sink?
[08:05] Participant
So we have to somehow find a path of leaves
that don't sink from here to the gate?
[08:11] Participant
Yeah, that's impossible.
[08:19] Barker
It looks too challenging, as always.
[08:21] Barker
After all, no one has succeeded
for the past ten years.
[08:26] Barker
This takes me back...
[08:29] Barker
A decade ago, three young sisters
found the right leaves
[08:32] Barker
and reached the gate
as immaculately as they started.
[08:39] Barker
All right! Our next challenger, step right up!
[08:42] Yu
Here!
[08:46] Barker
And you lose.
[08:48] Barker
Everyone's free to try
as many times as they like.
[08:51] Barker
Care to try again?
[08:53] Participant
Nah, I'd rather see the rest of the festival.
[08:56] Participant
I think I'm good.
[08:57] Barker
Is there anyone else who'll—
[09:00] Yu
Please...
[09:01] Yu
Let me go again!
[09:09] Barker
It's not as easy as it looks.
[09:11] Onlooker
Aw man, you messed up your cute face.
[09:14] Onlooker
Should've quit while you were ahead.
[09:16] Onlooker
You're so muddy that you'll slip and fall
even if you pick the right path.
[09:21] Barker
Who's the next challenger?
[09:23] Yu
Please!
[09:40] Barker
It's starting to rain, so let's call it a day.
[09:43] Yu
No... I'm not done!
[09:46] Barker
It's a test of a luck, not effort.
[09:48] Barker
Look, we'll let you take the photo!
[09:54] Yu
If I had to guess, back then...
[09:57] Yu
Miwa-san used her smarts
to find the correct route,
[10:00] Yu
and Niko-san used her brawn
to carry her to the goal.
[10:04] Yu
Kazuki-san's powers of observation
let her follow them easily,
[10:08] Yu
and the three arrived spotless.
[10:12] Yu
They reached the goal
by combining their strengths,
[10:15] Yu
and I'll get there too!
[10:41] Barker
G...
[10:42] Barker
Goal!
[10:49] Barker
C-Congratulations.
[10:51] Yu
Thanks a lot.

I need to remain in my room.
[11:35] Yu
I forced them to come here,
then left them on their own...
[11:38] Yu
They probably stormed back to the hotel.
[11:41] Yu
They'll just end up apart again.
[11:45] Yu
All I wanted was for them to get along.
[11:48] Yu
But I'm a perfect stranger
who barged into their home.
[11:51] Yu
I'm the last person who should be meddling.
[12:00] Kazuki
This is where you were?

You said you'd be back in a bit,
but you're covered in muck!

B-But why?

So...
[12:31] Niko {overlap}
Get in here.
[12:31] Miwa {overlap}
C'mon in.
[12:31] Kazuki {overlap}
You can share mine.
[12:36] Yu
Huh?
[12:38] Yu
Sorry...
[12:39] Yu
You were all speaking at once,
so I didn't get that.
[12:44] Kazuki
You heard nothing!
[12:45] Niko
Who asked you guys to speak over me?
[12:47] Miwa
You're the one who spoke over me!
[12:49] Niko
Say that again?
[12:50] Kazuki
Hush, you two!
[12:52] Miwa
No, you hush, Kazu-nee!
[12:58] Kazuki
I could get used to these
spacious hot spring baths.
[13:00] Miwa
Still feels weird bathing
with you two around.

If ya wanna share an umbrella with
him that bad, then go right ahead!
[13:08] (Flashback) Niko
What? As if!
[13:10] (Flashback) Kazuki
I certainly don't mind.

All I'm doing is walking,
[13:34] Niko
but my heart feels like it ran a marathon.
[13:39] Niko
Was it because I wasn't used
to wearing a kimono?
[13:42] Niko
But it still feels weird, even now.
[13:48] Kazuki
Wh-What on earth is she doing
right in front of us?
[13:52] Niko
She looks way too deep in thought!
[13:54] Kazuki
Does she finally want to be a real woman?
[13:57] Kazuki
But her bust isn't as shapely as mine.
[14:00] Miwa
Her boobs are just average.
Mine are way bigger.

[14:26] Yu
And now all the hotels in the area
are fully booked for the festival.

I planned for them to spend
the night alone as sisters.

I mean, we couldn't just abandon him.
That would be a disgrace to martial arts.
[15:02] Kazuki
Precisely.
[15:03] Kazuki
A star must show charity to the common people.
[15:06] Kazuki

[15:07] Kazuki
and we cannot allow this drenched
alley cat to catch a cold.

It'd be stranger not to invite him in.
[15:18] Niko
That's right. We do live together.
[15:22] Yu
I can't thank you enough.
[15:23] Yu
Just think of me as dust
on the floor while I'm here.
[15:27] Yu
Oh, yeah. I should get a robe
before showering.
[15:37] Yu
S-Sorry again.
[15:39] Yu
I guess there's not much room
to move in here with four people.
[15:42] Kazuki
Uh, yeah...
[15:44] Kazuki
Anyway, I thought we were already wearing
all the robes provided to this room.
[15:48] Yu
Oh, right.
[15:49] Yu
And I didn't bring a change
of clothes, anyway.
[15:51] Miwa
You're all dumb!
[15:53] Miwa
Japanese hotels are better than you think.
[15:55] Miwa
For one, you can usually find
spare robes in a cupboard...

Oh, that tea looks tasty!
[16:03] Niko
Crap, can't find any.

We should call the front desk...
[16:07] Yu
Oh, there's one!
[16:09] Niko
Where?
[16:10] Yu
It might be too high for you to see.
[16:12] Niko
Say what?
[16:13] Yu
I'll get it.
[16:18] Yu
Okay... There.
[16:20] Yu
Sorry for the fuss. I'll go shower.
[16:23] Niko
Uh, right.
[16:29] Niko
He's right! It's too cramped for four!
[16:32] Kazuki
I'm convinced. This is nothing like our house.

If you subtract all the furniture,
the per-person area would be...

Well, at least it went back
to its rightful owner.
[18:32] Yu
All's well that ends well.
[18:42] Miwa
L-Look at him!
[18:43] Niko
He's out like a light!
[18:45] Kazuki
Didn't even take two minutes.
[18:47] Niko
Hey, what're you two doing still awake?
[18:50] Kazuki
When I sleep is my own business!
[18:52] Miwa
You're in no position to ask, anyway.
[18:55] Niko
Well, I was just about to go to sleep!
[18:57] Niko
I-It's been a while since we've been
to something as lively as that festival.
[19:01] Niko
It was that rush that kept me up!
[19:03] Kazuki
That could be it.
[19:05] Kazuki
Plus, that new kid is weird.
[19:08] Kazuki
Why would he choose a flowery kimono for you?
[19:11] Kazuki
But still, good for you.
[19:13] Kazuki
I can't speak for now,
[19:16] Kazuki
but you did love that stuff...
when you were a kid.
[19:23] Niko
Same goes for you.
[19:25] Niko
You always play to your fans
like you're this huge star.
[19:29] Niko
But today, you had fun for once.
[19:32] Niko
As a kid, you'd run straight
to the goldfish scooping.
[19:36] Miwa
But we've all grown out of that junk now.
[19:39] Niko
You haven't changed a bit!
[19:42] Kazuki
You were pretty excited picking a kimono.
[19:44] Miwa
What's wrong with that?
[19:46] Miwa
We didn't get to wear kimonos last time.
[19:48] Niko
You're right.
[19:50] Kazuki
Still...
[19:52] Kazuki
At least we were allowed to visit
the game stalls back then.
[19:56] Niko
Like the ring toss and the shooting range.
[19:58] Miwa
Yeah, I remember!
I used to shoot everything down.
[20:03] Miwa
I must've been at my physical peak back then.
[20:06] Niko
That shooting range?
[20:08] Niko
Kazuki took shots behind you to help you out.
[20:12] Miwa
Did she really?
[20:14] Kazuki
You used to cry whenever you lost.
[20:16] Miwa
Wait a minute. Why are we
chatting about ancient history?
[20:20] Niko
It's not like us.
[20:22] Kazuki
You're right. This is certainly pointless.
[20:24] Kazuki
But... we never used to talk like this.
[20:28] Kazuki
Every day we just do our own things,
[20:31] Kazuki
even though we live together.
[20:34] Niko
Sheesh.
[20:36] Niko
This is just what that
dumb pest wanted us to do.
[20:39] Niko
What does it even matter
if we get along or not?
[20:43] Niko
He's so weird.
[20:45] Miwa
He really is. Especially for a total stranger.
[20:54] Yu
Let's go to the festival together!
[20:56] (Flashback) Yu
Can you help us find
the right kimonos for them?
[21:00] (Flashback) Yu
You should smile more!
[21:03] Miwa
All just for these photos.
[21:08] Miwa
He's such a dummy.
[21:25] All
Thank you.

You live with him, but you can't

Huh? Don't make fun of me!
[23:53] Kazuki
The new kid's most unique trait...
is that sincere smile of his.
[23:57] Kazuki
Not that you two would know,
since you never saw it up close.
[24:02] Miwa
I know all kinds of things about the new kid!
[24:05] Miwa
He makes snacks and midnight

[24:10] Miwa
You guys wouldn't know,
thanks to your strict diets.
[24:14] Niko
Oh, yeah? In my case...
[24:16] Niko
He buys protein and sports tape
exactly when I'm about to run out!
[24:20] Niko
He's thoughtful, and he cares a lot about me!
[24:28] Niko
We should find him ourselves.

Yeah. I'm deleting the draft.

Hello?

[00:56] Yu
How do you do, sir? I'm Yu Ayase!
[00:59] Yu
Thanks again for taking me in!
[01:01] Mr. Mikadono
It's truly unfortunate what happened
to your mother, Subaru-kun.
[01:05] Yu
It's all right.
[01:07] Mr. Mikadono
But there's no need to worry.
[01:09] Yu

[01:10] Mr. Mikadono
Her talents will always live on.
As long as you grow and develop.

Now, back to our discussion.

I'm receiving rave reviews,
and I have an interview tomorrow.

[01:53] Mr. Mikadono

dinner for everyone.
[02:00] Yu
Would you be interested in joining us?
[02:06] Mr. Mikadono

[02:08] Yu
Oh, that.
[02:09] Yu
We went to a festival last weekend.
[02:12] Mr. Mikadono
A festival? Whose idea was that?
[02:15] Yu
Mine.
[02:16] Yu
By a sheer stroke of luck, they all
ended up traveling to the same place.
[02:20] Yu
And what's more, it was the same
festival they went to as kids.
[02:24] Mr. Mikadono
Yu-kun.
[02:26] Mr. Mikadono
Why must you get in the way
of my daughters' rise to the top?
[02:31] Yu
But the shrine grants competitor's luck.
It was perfect for them.
[02:35] Mr. Mikadono
You're having them pray for luck to win?
[02:39] Mr. Mikadono
One makes their own luck
through persistent effort.
[02:42] Mr. Mikadono
That's the only way.
[02:43] Yu
But, I...
[02:44] Mr. Mikadono
I raised my daughters
to be tough and indomitable.
[02:49] Mr. Mikadono
Their talents would only
be wasted on the weak.
[02:52] Mr. Mikadono
Yu-kun, I took the liberty
of looking into your history.
[02:58] Mr. Mikadono
You have no achievements
worth mentioning, do you?
[03:02] Mr. Mikadono
You're supposed to be the son of
the gifted actress, Subaru Ayase.
[03:07] Mr. Mikadono
Yet here you are.
[03:11] Mr. Mikadono
Just an average nobody.
[03:17] Mr. Mikadono
Yu-kun.
[03:18] Mr. Mikadono
In this house,
[03:20] Mr. Mikadono
talentless kids are not welcome.
[03:27] Mr. Mikadono
Oh? What's with that look?
[03:30] Mr. Mikadono
I will not have you bring that
slacker mentality into this household.
[03:35] All
Wait!
[03:37] Kazuki
He may not have any
achievements recognized by anyone,
[03:40] Kazuki
but he does a good job here at home!
[03:42] Niko
Yes, he's a loser
who fails at everything, but...
[03:45] Miwa
He cleans, does laundry, and cooks.
[03:46] Niko
He's doing everything
he can to support all of us!
[03:49] Kazuki
Thanks to him, we're able to focus
on perfecting our talents!
[03:55] Mr. Mikadono
Why are you girls defending
a boy you hardly know?
[03:59] Mr. Mikadono
Do you need Yu-kun that much?
[04:02] Miwa
I-It's not that we need him...
[04:04] Kazuki
H-He's just sort of convenient to have around.
[04:06] Niko
H-He earns his keep,
if only just barely, so we were...
[04:10] Mr. Mikadono
I don't wish to disrespect
Subaru-kun's memory,
[04:13] Mr. Mikadono
but I find it hard to believe you girls
could be compatible with Yu-kun.
[04:17] Kazuki
No, you're wrong!
[04:19] Kazuki
W-We are compatible! With the new ki...
[04:23] Kazuki
No, I mean...

Sorry, new kid, but we don't have time
to eat your food anymore.
[06:44] Yu
It's been a week since then.
[06:46] Yu
We've regressed to how we were
when I first arrived here.
[06:49] Yu
But after meeting Mr. Mikadono,
I finally realized something.
[06:53] Yu
The reason why the sisters work
so hard to perfect their talents
[06:57] Yu
and project so much strength
that it intimidates others—
[07:00] Yu
it's because of their dad.
[07:02] Yu
Mr. Mikadono certainly seems to be an
accomplished, upstanding individual,
[07:06] Yu
but the girls looked pretty down
in the dumps that day.

And they were just starting to get along, too.

I was fixated on all of us eating together
at the dinner table... as a family.
[09:05] Yu
We'd smile and talk about
whatever popped into our minds.
[09:10] Yu
To me, being like that TV family was my ideal,
which shows how mediocre my thinking is.

She took it in stride? Kazuki-san's amazing.

Still, I do feel sorry for her.

Accident or not, she kissed
a guy with a nosebleed.

But it looks like she's not bothered by it.

she mainly played villainous men,

She was such a powerful actor,

Jeez... This kid fails at each
and every opportunity.
[17:11] Kazuki
He fails all the time,
[17:12] Kazuki
and everyone sees him as a disappointment...
[17:17] Kazuki
Ugh, this is so stupid!
[17:19] Kazuki
I wish I could be as unafraid
of failure as you are!
[17:22] Yu
It's because I've been a failure my whole life!
[17:25] Kazuki
You're tough.
[17:27] Yu
Still, Kazuki-san, there's also
value in failing at things.
[17:32] Kazuki
Come again?
[17:33] Kazuki
H-Hey!
[17:35] Yu
Look.
[17:38] Kazuki
He captured that embarrassing moment?
[17:41] Kazuki
But when?
[17:42] Kazuki
Are you trying to harass me?
[17:55] Kazuki
These are all me?
[17:58] Yu
Kazuki-san, you may be great
at putting on expressions.
[18:01] Yu
But these spontaneous expressions
are incredible, too.
[18:05] Yu
Sure, some people might get disappointed
or pull away if you fail.
[18:10] Yu
But people grow to love shortcomings, too.
[18:22] Kazuki
That's just an excuse for incompetence.
[18:24] Yu
Yeah, I do use that excuse as a crutch.
[18:29] Yu
But still, I hope you do well in your audition.

Who do you think I am?

They're here!

What happened between them?
[18:52] Kazuki
Thanks for everything, Yu.
[18:54] Yu
Were you able to identify with the heroine?
[18:57] Kazuki
I suppose.
[18:59] Kazuki
Lately, it feels like I've just been giving
the performances that people want to see.
[19:04] Kazuki
But now, I believe I'm free to perform in
the way that I as the actor think is best,
[19:10] Kazuki
even if I blunder along the way.
[19:12] Kazuki
Now that I know there are people out there
who'll like my blunders anyway.
[19:18] Yu
But if you do get stuck,
[19:22] Yu
be sure to remember our date together.
[19:27] Kazuki
I'm not desperate enough to rely
on you for the audition too, Yu!

How am I supposed to react to that?
[19:47] Kazuki
I'll pour all my talents into the audition.
[19:49] Kazuki
Even if I fail, I'll remain who I am.
[19:52] Yu
Nice! That's the Kazuki-san I know!
[19:55] Kazuki
You really are a dolt, Yu.

you, the nobody who
always fails and disappoints.

That was actually my first kiss.

Anyway...

I should take you with me.

[17:39] Niko
Tatsumi-senpai's greatest weapon
is the long reach of his kicks.
[17:42] Niko
You can't win if you don't get in close.
[17:45] Yu
Get in close...
[17:47] Yu
Like this?
[17:48] Niko
Yikes!
[17:51] Niko
H-He'll counter with a punch, so watch out!
[17:55] Yu
Right...

You're such a dumbass.

You're like an ant taking on an elephant.
[18:02] Niko
Here, ice it.
[18:04] Yu
Thanks.
[18:06] Yu
But yeah, compared to a prodigy like your
senpai, a mediocrity like me is nothing.
[18:12] Yu
Still... I won't let the difference in skill
between us stop me from trying.
[18:19] Yu
Yes, I said what I said that time
in the heat of the moment.
[18:24] Yu
But I do want to be together.

it narrows down what we need to train for.

But... That's not all that I am.

I do get scared taking on huge guys.
[08:41] Niko
I do get tempted by cute stuff.
[08:44] Hayato
You're not this weak, Niko.
[08:47] Mr. Mikadono
You don't need to be feminine.
[08:49] Mr. Mikadono
You're far too strong for that.
[08:52] Niko
So I ended up...
[08:55] Niko
being someone too indecisive
to go either way.
[08:59] Niko
"Niko Mikadono isn't feminine.
That's not the real me."
[09:04] Niko
That's what I always told myself.
[09:09] Niko
Sorry for getting you mixed up in this, Yu.
[09:12] Yu
No, I was the one who
challenged Tatsumi-senpai.

That's the last thing I'd want you to see.
[10:16] Niko
It'd be too weird.

You want Niko-san to come to your
school to become stronger, correct?
[12:26] Hayato
Yeah.

But if Niko-san wins against you,
then you don't need to recruit her.

is the long reach of his kicks.

Look!

Tatsumi-senpai's completely on the defensive!
[16:10] Vice Captain
No boy can match Captain's speed!
[16:13] Buzzcut
She may be short,
[16:14] Buzzcut
but she combines speed and precision
with conventional karate techniques.
[16:17] Buzzcut
That's why we call her
the Thunderbolt of Saika!

Who calls her that?
[16:23] Niko
What's going on?
[16:24] Niko
Why isn't he trying to attack me?
[16:27] Niko
Instead, he's blocking all my hits.
[16:31] Niko
It's like he's telling me he knows
every move I'll hit him with.
[16:38] Vice Captain
Captain Mikadono!
[16:39] Ponytail

[16:40] Buzzcut
Tatsumi-senpai scores a point!
[16:44] Hayato
Niko. I've watched you fight
ever since we were kids.
[16:49] Hayato
Yes, your speed is overwhelming,
[16:52] Hayato
and your style of karate is dazzling—
a textbook example of how to fight.
[16:57] Hayato
But that is why I know your offensive
patterns like the back of my hand.

Middle punch! One point!

If he scores one more point,
our captain loses!
[17:33] Vice Captain
There's nothing she can do.

Is Tatsumi-senpai really this tough to beat?

My karate's useless against him.

Surely this is enough. Just come with me.

You're strong but sometimes vulnerable.
That's the real Niko-san.
[18:47] Niko
He's right.
[18:50] Niko
My real self...
[18:53] Niko
isn't just one side or the other!
[18:56] Hayato
Did something just change about her?
[19:04] Hayato
From the right?
[19:06] Hayato
You're so easy to read—
[19:10] Vice Captain
An upper kick?
[19:12] Buzzcut
Captain!
[19:13] Hayato
A feint? From Niko?!
[19:17] Hayato
This time...
[19:19] Hayato
she's going for a straight torso jab!
[19:21] Hayato
A straightforward hit I can block!
[19:28] Both
A backhanded blow!
[19:30] Hayato
Niko?
[19:33] Yu
What a power move!
That's the Niko-san we know!
[19:36] Vice Captain
No, it's not!
[19:38] Vice Captain
I've never seen her do those
tricky moves before in a match!
[19:42] Vice Captain
She's so conventional,
she practically wrote the textbook.
[19:45] Buzzcut
She used to obsess over
sticking to form during matches.
[19:50] Yu
Niko-san...
[19:52] Yu
You're smiling.
[19:55] Judge
Captain Mikadono, two points!
[19:58] Hayato
I can't tell what she'll do next.
[20:00] Hayato
She's definitely changed.
[20:06] Kazuki
Niko...
[20:07] Miwa
Niko-chan!
[20:11] Hayato
What's going on, Niko?
[20:13] Hayato
This isn't like you at all!
[20:16] Niko
This isn't like the me you know?
[20:27] Niko
Well, this side of me is me, too!
[20:45] Judge
Full points!
[20:47] Judge
Winner, Captain Mikadono!
[20:50] Buzzcut
A-An upper kick!
[20:52] Vice Captain
Captain Mikadono won!
[20:55] Vice Captain
She was one hit away from losing!

I won...
[21:08] Yu

Yu...
[21:20] Niko
Thank heavens.

[21:29] Yu
Glad you're here.
[21:32] Niko
Yu...
[21:37] Niko
G-Glad to be back.
[21:47] Niko
What am I doing? This isn't like me!
[21:51] Yu

[21:52] Niko
Can it.
[21:55] Niko
I'm allowed to cry after a win...
once in a while.

[00:02] Niko
Sorry, Tatsumi-senpai.
[00:05] Niko
I know you wanted what was best
for me when you tried to recruit me.
[00:13] Hayato
Well, what's done is done,
so I'll keep my word.
[00:19] Niko
And man... I can't believe how quickly Yu lost.
What if you'd only had to fight him?
[00:24] Hayato
Actually, he very much left his mark as well.
[00:27] Niko
Huh?
[00:29] Hayato
Look.

SIGN Ora Ora Ora Ora
[00:32] Hayato
He focused all his hits on that one spot.
[00:35] Hayato
It sort of freaked me out.
[00:38] Hayato
Thanks to that, I wasn't able
to evade your last kick.
[00:42] Niko
Uh, again, I'm sorry.
[00:45] Hayato
There's only one reason Ayase-kun would
have gone that far to keep you here.
[00:50] Hayato
He really cares about you.
[00:54] Niko
N-No way! He's just the type
who never knows when to back down.
[00:59] Hayato
It's too bad. I know I said I was
recruiting you to make you stronger.
[01:05] Hayato
But the truth is, I wanted to be with you
and train with you for a more personal reason.
[01:13] Hayato
Niko, I... I really like you.
[01:17] Niko
Huh?
[01:20] Niko
Thanks!
[01:21] Hayato
Huh?
[01:21] Hayato
Wait, are you really taking it this casually?
[01:24] Niko
But I like you too, Senpai. A whole lot.
[01:26] Hayato
What?
[01:29] Hayato
Y-You don't get it.
[01:33] Hayato
What I'm saying is I have feelings for you.
[01:38] Niko
W-Wait... What?!
[01:41] Hayato
So it did go over her head.
[01:43] Niko
S-Senpai. How long have you felt that way?
[01:47] Hayato
Really? For as long as I've known you.
[01:50] Hayato
Ever since you first came to the dojo. Always!
[01:53] Niko
Uh, yessir.
[01:56] Hayato
That's what I meant when I said
I wanted us to be together.
[01:59] Hayato
So what about you, Niko?
[02:02] Hayato
The one you want to be with is here, right?
[02:06] Hayato
Don't you want to be together in that way too?
[02:11] Niko
In... that way?
[02:16] Niko
Ah...
[02:17] Hayato
You don't have to say it.
[02:19] Hayato
If you do, I'll only get jealous of him.
[02:23] Hayato
You're stronger now, Niko.
[02:25] Hayato
I'll see you at the next tournament. Take care.
[02:31] Niko
Do I really...?
[02:42] Niko
No, I don't!
[02:44] Niko
My idea of being together
isn't the same as Senpai's!
[02:47] Niko
And besides, it's not like me
to even consider that stuff!
[02:50] (Flashback) Yu
All your sides contribute
to making you what you are.
[02:53] (Flashback) Yu
There's no wrong or right side to you.
[02:56] Niko
I've never considered it...
[02:59] Niko
But I don't have to reject it
for being "not like me."
[03:04] Niko
The match is over,
but my pulse is still racing.
SIGN Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze
[04:48] Niko
I still can't believe those guys.

Are they heartless or what?

I must be outta my mind
wanting to stay together with them.

"Staying behind"? Isn't there
a better way of putting it?
[05:33] Niko
I'm just not moving out. That's it.
[05:38] Niko
You should at least let your hands heal.
[05:40] Yu
It's fine. I didn't amount to much
in the fight anyway.
[05:44] Yu
I can at least do this for you.

I'll help set the table.

You must understand that

[07:43] Niko
That's my phone.
[07:45] Yu
If they're forced to perfect
their talents all the time,
[07:47] Yu
they'll eventually grow too tired
to perform when it counts.
[07:52] Mr. Mikadono
Yu-kun?
[07:54] Yu
You should be brave and allow them
to take meaningful breaks!
[07:58] Yu
Yes, you were mad when they went
to that festival right before their events.
[08:02] Yu
But this time, a breather
will be to their benefit!
[08:06] Mr. Mikadono
Yu-kun. Give the phone to Niko.
[08:09] Yu
Yes, sir.
[08:12] Niko
It's me, Dad.
[08:13] Mr. Mikadono
Niko, I heard about your
win against Tatsumi-kun.
[08:18] Mr. Mikadono
He's the best high school
karate practitioner in the country.
[08:22] Mr. Mikadono
I never thought you could defeat him,
even in an unofficial match.
[08:26] Mr. Mikadono
I used to believe you should go to his school,
but it appears that's no longer necessary.
[08:32] Mr. Mikadono
You did well.
[08:34] Niko
Th-Thank you very much!
[08:36] Yu
Mr. Mikadono is being nice?
[08:39] Kazuki
Only because she performed above expectations.
[08:42] Mr. Mikadono
I do wonder when she came to be so strong.
[08:49] Mr. Mikadono
Still, I suppose Yu-kun has a point.
[08:53] Mr. Mikadono
Take a break so you can
face your next endeavor.
[08:58] Niko
He gave us permission to take a break.

That's great!

You hafta move a lot in these theme parks.

The jump scare was perfectly executed,

Can we rest on the bench over there?

Huh? He's gone!

He's already found a bench of his own!

But I thought you wanted me
to drink it with you!

And yet, he was willing to join us

Ah, it's not a family photo, though.

Her hard work, dedication, and iron will
won her the title challenge.

But the title holder, Miwa Mikadono,
has never lost once to Sakura Yaotome.

As the youngest title holder in

[13:19] Kazuki
Can you explain your early-morning departure?
[13:22] Yu
I'm going to pray for Miwa-san's
victory in her matches.
[13:26] Yu
There's a shrine that's considered
a holy spot for shogi.
[13:32] Niko
That's a coincidence.
[13:34] Niko
I wanted to jog a new route
that leads up to that shrine.
[13:38] Kazuki
I-I'm playing a diviner in my new play,
[13:41] Kazuki
so I'll need to visit a shrine
to research my role.
[13:44] Yu
Then why don't the three of us go together?

We must really be early. There's nobody here.

[14:09] Sakura
Y-You're Miwa Mikadono's sisters?
[14:14] Yu
Yaotome-san, did you come to pray too?
[14:17] Yu
You put so much effort into research
that I thought you didn't believe in prayer.

It pains me to say that I'm not as
naturally gifted as Miwa Mikadono.

We came here to pray for Miwa-san's victory.
[14:53] Sakura
Wait a minute, you're their supporter?
[14:56] Yu
Yup.
[14:57] Yu
I heard that Miwa-san was facing obstacles,
[15:00] Yu
and it's the only way someone
as mediocre as me can help her.
[15:04] Sakura
Unbelievable.
[15:06] Sakura
Just because you're mediocre,
[15:08] Sakura
you're hiding in the shadow
of a prodigy doing grunt work?
[15:13] Yu
It's not grunt work!

that I'm good at, and it's fun.
[15:27] Sakura
Everything's wrong with it!
[15:29] Sakura
I'd never stand for that.
[15:32] Sakura
Someone who hides in a prodigy's
shadow is just a bit player.

[00:15] Miwa
I resign.
[00:23] Yu
But how?
[00:25] Voice
The titleholder Mikadono lost twice in a row?
[00:27] Voice
And it was to Ms. Yaotome,
who never beat her before.
[00:32] (Flashback) Kazuki
The title matches are best three out of five.
[00:37] Yu
I can't believe Miwa-san has
her back against the wall.
[00:42] Yu
Miwa-san!
[00:43] Sakura
If you're looking for Miwa Mikadono,
she already left.

[02:25] Sakura
Your name was Yu Ayase-kun, correct?
[02:28] Sakura
Did you come all the way here
to pick up that washed-up loser?
[02:31] Yu
"Washed-up"?
[02:33] Sakura
Miwa Mikadono didn't do enough research.
[02:35] Sakura
She relied too much on her genius.
[02:38] Sakura
It looked like she had her sights
set on an endgame battle.
[02:42] Sakura
But her moves were too sloppy
earlier in the game.
[02:45] Sakura
Her first time ever losing twice in a row—
[02:47] Sakura
and to me, no less!
[02:49] Sakura
I'll bet she's already back home
crying from the humiliation!
[02:52] Miwa
Sob! I lost to Yaotomecchi!
[02:56] Sakura
I suggest you hurry back home for her sake.
[02:59] Yu
Yaotome-san.
[03:00] Sakura
Wh-What?
[03:03] Yu
Thank you so much!
[03:05] Sakura
Wh-Why are you thanking me?
[03:08] Yu
Because what you're saying
[03:09] Yu
is essentially that Miwa-san
wasn't playing at her best.
[03:12] Yu
If she trains and works on her game plan,
she can stage a comeback.
[03:16] Yu
So you want me to go comfort her, since she's
probably crushed from her first double loss.
[03:21] Yu
That's the sense I got from you.
[03:22] Sakura
Wh-Whaa?
[03:24] Sakura
That's not what I meant!
Stop trying to read between the lines!
[03:28] Yu
But you're still here,
even though the match is long over.
[03:32] Yu
You must've been waiting,
thinking you might run into me.
[03:35] Sakura
N-No, I wasn't!
[03:37] Yu
Yaotome-san, I thought the way you did
your grand entrance was really cool.
[03:44] Yu
Anyway, I'll see you later.
[03:48] Yu
Oh, and one more thing.
[03:52] Yu
Don't think this is the end for Miwa Mikadono.
[04:00] Sakura
What the heck? You're just a supporter!
[04:04] Sakura
You think you're so smart, Yu Ayase?
[04:08] Sakura
I know darn well that Miwa Mikadono
is much better than this!
[04:13] Yu
I'm back!
[04:15] Both
Y-Yu...
[04:18] Yu
Th-They're bleak!
[04:20] Yu
Did something happen? Where's Miwa-san?
[04:23] Niko
That's the thing.
[04:25] Niko
She came back and all,
but the next thing we knew...
[04:28] Kazuki
She ran out the door again.
[04:31] Yu
She ran away from home?
[04:33] Yu
W-Was she that devastated
from her second loss?
[04:36] Niko
No way! She's stronger than that!
[04:38] Niko
Still... I do think she's feeling pretty down.
[04:44] (Flashback) Niko
You just have to win three!
Don't lose heart, Miwa!
[04:47] (Flashback) Kazuki
She's right! Those last matches
are yours to win!
[04:50] (Flashback) Niko
You're just like us!
You've dedicated your life to shogi!
[04:55] (Flashback) Niko
That hard work will win out!
[04:57] (Flashback) Kazuki
I learned just recently that failure
isn't necessarily a bad thing.
[05:02] (Flashback) Kazuki
I'm sure you'll—
[05:03] (Flashback) Miwa
Shove it.
[05:04] (Flashback) Miwa
I'm not like you two.
[05:16] Kazuki
I guess she takes title matches that seriously.
[05:21] Niko
Hearing amateurs try to give advice
only pissed her off more.
[05:26] Niko
Miwa's the type who stews silently
whenever she's furious.
[05:30] Kazuki
But that was the first time
we've seen her that incensed.
[05:38] Kazuki
Hey! Where do you think you're going?
[05:40] Yu
I'm going to look for Miwa-san!
[05:42] Niko
But how?
[05:44] Kazuki
She's not answering her phone,
so you won't know where to look!
[05:46] Yu
You two stay home in case she comes back!
[06:02] Yu
Miwa-san...
[06:04] Miwa
Shove it. I'm not like you two.

[06:32] Miwa
Yu-kun?
[06:34] Yu
Thank goodness you're safe and sound.
[06:36] Yu
Though I didn't expect to find you here.
[06:39] Miwa
What did you expect?
[06:45] Yu
Something like this.
[06:47] Miwa
Something like what?
[06:50] Staff
Here.
[06:51] Yu
Th-Thank you.
[07:03] Yu
Do you come here often?
[07:06] Miwa
On occasion.
[07:08] Miwa
We're all too busy for pets, and Kazu-nee
is a little allergic to them anyways.
[07:14] Miwa
And we could never take care of a kitty with
our housekeeping skills. It'd be too cruel.
[07:20] Yu
U-Uh, right.
[07:23] Yu
But it's a relief knowing
you're able to cheer yourself up.
[07:28] Yu
You might have lost the first
two matches in your title series,
[07:31] Yu
but you're still in it to win.
[07:33] Yu
Now that you've regained your spirit,
I know you can beat Yaotome-san!
[07:48] Yu
She's inhaling a cat?
[07:51] Miwa
Yu-kun...
[07:52] Miwa
All shogi pros dedicate their
entire lives to the game.
[07:58] Miwa
They study day in and day out,
because they live for shogi.
[08:04] Miwa
Every one of them is that way.
[08:07] Yu
I know. I can tell by watching how you train.
[08:11] Miwa
Not me.
[08:13] Miwa
My connection to shogi...
[08:16] Miwa
It's not like that.
[08:20] Yu
But you're constantly
practicing so hard at home.
[08:23] Miwa
That's just... for the accomplishment.
[08:28] Miwa
To me, shogi is just a way
of being accomplished.
[08:33] Miwa
I could've just as well been accomplished
at go, chess, or any other game.
[08:37] Miwa
It didn't matter at all.
[08:41] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
Miwa, you're a prodigy.
[08:44] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
You have a gift that could never
be obtained through mere effort.
[08:48] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
You're a true natural talent.
[08:50] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
Show everyone how truly gifted you are.
[09:00] (Flashback) Reporter
She broke the record for youngest champion!
[09:03] (Flashback) Reporter
She's an actual wunderkind!
[09:08] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
Well done, Miwa.
[09:10] (Flashback) Niko
You beat male pros? Holy cow!
[09:13] (Flashback) Kazuki
I'll admit that I'm proud
to have you as my sister.
[09:16] Miwa
Dad would praise me for my accomplishments.
[09:22] Miwa
I'd be just as good as Kazu-nee and Niko-chan.
[09:27] Miwa
That was my only reason for playin' shogi.
[09:30] Miwa
That's it.
[09:33] Miwa
And yet...
[09:42] (Flashback) Miwa
Why do you two always work so hard, anyways?
[09:47] (Flashback) Kazuki
I love shining brightly when I'm onstage.
[09:50] (Flashback) Niko
It's a lotta fun training and getting stronger.
[09:55] Miwa
And yet what they told me never clicked.
[09:59] Miwa
Kazu-nee and Niko-chan are
pursuing what they truly love.
[10:05] Miwa
They're nothing like me, who only uses
shogi as a means to be accomplished.
[10:12] (Flashback) Miwa
I'm not like you two.
[10:16] Miwa
Shogi is scary competitive.
[10:19] Miwa
You can sense how determined
your opponent is from across the board.
[10:24] Miwa
And I always felt, deep down,
[10:25] Miwa
that people could see exactly how shallow
my commitment was to the game.
[10:31] Miwa
I knew all along...
[10:34] Miwa
that someone like me...
was gonna stop winning one day.
[10:55] Yu
Thank you for confiding in me, Miwa-san.
[11:01] Miwa
I don't know... if I wanna go home.
[11:07] Yu
I hear you.
[11:11] Yu
And we still have time.
[11:15] Yu
I'm not letting you go home
just yet, Miwa-san.
[11:30] Yu
Good thing it stopped raining.
[11:34] Yu
I'm not letting you go home
just yet, Miwa-san.
[11:42] Miwa
Y-Yu-kun?!
[11:48] Yu
Just look at all this variety.
[11:50] Yu
This is the largest supermarket around here.
[11:53] Miwa
What, ya just wanted to do some
shoppin' on the way home?
[11:57] Yu
No, Kazuki-san and Niko-san thought
it must've been their fault you left home.
[12:05] Yu
So bringing them gifts would be
a good way to make amends.
[12:09] Miwa
Yeah, I suppose...
[12:11] Yu
Let's make sweets.
[12:13] Yu
Do you know their favorite treats?
SIGN Listen, the only things I want
are the things that complement me.
[12:18] Miwa
Kazu-nee always puts on grown-up airs,
so she might like something bittersweet.
[12:23] Miwa
Since she drinks coffee,
maybe coffee jelly could work.
[12:26] Miwa
Ah, but it can't look too plain!
SIGN It's just an herbarium for my room!
[12:30] Miwa
Niko-chan's really been getting
into cutesy stuff lately.
SIGN The interior needed some color!
[12:34] Miwa
And since it turns out
she's been hiding a sweet tooth,
[12:37] Miwa
I'd say we go for a cute little cupcake.
[12:41] Yu
Those would work.
[12:42] Yu
We should use natural sweeteners
with no calories or sugar.
SIGN Zero Syrup
[12:47] Yu
That way, they won't worry about their diets.
[12:49] Miwa
They really do have everything here.
[12:55] Miwa
This'll be perfect for Kazu-nee,
and this for Niko-chan!
SIGN Saika Academy
[13:03] Yu
I-I can't believe they let you in
this late at night. You really are a Royal.
[13:10] Miwa
So why're we at school?
[13:12] Yu
To cook here so we won't
spoil the surprise at home.
[13:18] Miwa
Actually, I've been wondering for a while now.
[13:22] Miwa
How're you this good at cooking, Yu-kun?
[13:25] Miwa
Sure, your meals taste average.
[13:27] Miwa
But are ya some kinda failure
with a hidden talent?
[13:30] Yu
No way! My cooking's only passable, but it
stands out because I fail at everything else!
[13:34] Yu
I mean it! I struggle every time I cook!
[13:38] Yu
But... I did suck at everything as a kid.
[13:44] Yu
I felt so inferior to my talented mom
that I started avoiding her.
SIGN Star Actress

[13:50] Yu
But then one morning...
[13:52] Yu
I made breakfast just for the heck of it.
[13:55] Yu
When I did...
[13:56] Yu
I ran into my mom,
who'd come in late from work.
[14:01] (Flashback) Subaru
Let me try.
[14:06] (Flashback) Yu
So, um...
[14:07] (Flashback) Subaru
Wow, this is nice.
[14:11] Yu
Hearing my mom praise me made me so happy.
[14:15] Yu
I wanted to see my mom smile again,
[14:19] Yu
so I practiced cooking. A lot.
[14:22] Miwa
Huh...
[14:24] Yu
But all my other attempts...
[14:26] Yu
either tasted terrible despite looking
appetizing or went the other way around.
[14:30] Yu
And my mom was too busy
to eat whatever I made.
[14:35] Yu
I eventually got tired of it, wondering
what was the point of even trying.
[14:41] Yu
It was then that my mom became hospitalized.
[14:46] (Flashback) Yu
I'm going shopping. Is there anything you need?
[14:56] (Flashback) Subaru
I want...
[14:59] (Flashback) Subaru
I want to eat something you made, Yu.
[15:07] (Flashback) Nurse
Just watch the sodium content
and her allergies listed here.
SIGN SLASH!!
SIGN Creamy Milk
[15:32] (Flashback) Subaru
Tastes great.
[15:34] (Flashback) Subaru
Please make more for me, Yu.
[15:40] Yu
I made my mom's meals
throughout her time in the hospital.
[15:46] Yu
Just thinking about my mom—
[15:48] Yu
how I could make someone's face
light up just by cooking for them—
[15:51] Yu
made me gradually get better and better.
[15:56] Yu
It's a miracle!
[15:57] Miwa
I don't think it's that surprising.
[16:00] Yu
You also had fun choosing
ingredients for your sisters.
[16:06] Yu
You were imagining Kazuki-san
and Niko-san's reactions, weren't you?
[16:10] Miwa
N-No, I wasn't! It was just fun
to explore such a huge supermarket!
[16:15] Yu
Sure. Now, let's add the finishing touches.
[16:22] Yu
Miwa-san.
[16:25] Yu
You said at the café you were
different from Kazuki-san, Niko-san,
[16:29] Yu
and other professional shogi players.
[16:33] Yu
You also called yourself shallow
for only playing shogi
[16:37] Yu
to receive praise and recognition from others.
[16:42] Yu
But that means you want to see
your dad happy and proud of you.
[16:49] Yu
And you want to be as good as your sisters
because you love them so much.
[16:57] Miwa
Th-Those aren't my real motivations!
[16:59] Yu
There's nothing wrong with that.
[17:03] Yu
Some people don't strive
in order to better themselves,
[17:06] Yu
or even to rise to the top.
[17:09] Yu
They do it to please another. So that
someone they love will be proud of them.
[17:14] Yu
I can't imagine a better reason
to do your best.
[17:18] Yu
It shows what a kind and caring person you are.
[17:26] Yu
These turned out so pretty!
SIGN Coffee Jelly and Cupcake for the Sisters
[17:29] Yu
Kazuki-san and Niko-san will be thrilled!
[17:35] Miwa
So I can...
[17:37] Miwa
do my best for the people I love?
[17:47] Miwa
Wh-Why must you pop up in my head?!
[18:02] Miwa
You're sound asleep? What are you, a kid?
[18:07] Miwa
Still...
[18:09] (Flashback) Yu
Miwa-san!
[18:10] (Flashback) Miwa
Yu-kun?
[18:12] (Flashback) Yu
Thank goodness you're safe and sound.
[18:15] (Flashback) Yu
So bringing them gifts would be
a good way to make amends.
[18:19] (Flashback) Miwa
Yeah, I suppose...
[18:21] (Flashback) Yu
Let's make sweets.
[18:24] (Flashback) Yu
I can't imagine a better reason
to do your best.
[18:27] (Flashback) Yu
It shows what a kind and caring person you are.
[18:53] Miwa
Thanks, Yu-kun.
[19:20] Both
You're late, Yu!
[19:22] Kazuki
We were so relieved when you first
told us you found Miwa...
[19:25] Niko
...so what kept you away for four more hours?!
[19:27] Yu
S-Sorry! I guess I kept you two up with worry.
[19:33] Kazuki
We could hardly go to sleep
with the door unlocked!
[19:35] Niko
I was up doing homework anyway!
[19:37] Miwa
Kazu-nee, Niko-chan, Yu-kun's not to blame.
[19:42] Miwa
It's my fault.
[19:44] Miwa
He helped me make these for you.
[19:47] Kazuki
Sweets?
[19:49] Miwa
Sorry I was mean to you guys.
Hope this makes up for it.
[19:54] Kazuki
Wait, what?
[19:55] Niko
You made these, Miwa?
[19:57] Yu
She made those while thinking
what you guys would like.
[20:00] Yu
Those sweets are truly one-of-a-kind.
[20:03] Yu
I just lent a hand.
Miwa did the finishing touches, too.
[20:08] Niko
Y-You sure had us figured out.
[20:11] Kazuki
Honestly, why would you make sweets
with hardly any shelf life?
[20:16] Kazuki
It's too late at night, but I'll humor you
by eating it while it's fresh.
[20:20] Kazuki
This is good.
[20:21] Niko
Hey, Kazuki! Mine looks way fancier than yours!
[20:25] Kazuki
Imbecile. Presentation
requires striking a balance.
[20:28] Kazuki
Excess decoration is never ideal.
[20:31] Niko
Wha?
[20:31] Niko
Mine obviously took more time
to make. What are you, blind?
[20:36] Kazuki
You can plainly see that mine is superior!
[20:38] Kazuki
It strikes the perfect balance between
flavor, presentation, and color!
[20:44] Yu
Can you please not turn our
peace offering into a war?
[20:49] Miwa
Yu-kun.
[20:50] Yu
Y-Yes?
[20:51] Miwa
I-I wanted to say sorry for putting
you through all that trouble...
[20:56] Miwa
so here.
[20:57] Yu
Y-You made one for me?
[20:59] Yu
But when did you do it?
[21:01] Yu
Thank you so much.
[21:04] Niko
Whoa! It looks just like him!
[21:07] Kazuki
Oh? You decorated a giant
marshmallow with chocolate?
[21:11] Niko
Huh?
[21:12] Niko
Hold up, Miwa. What's going on
with the hairline?
[21:16] Kazuki
Indeed, it appears to be receding.
[21:23] Yu
Has my hair always been that thin?
[21:28] Kazuki
I'd say this awkward
appearance suits you better.
[21:32] Miwa
S-Stop starin' at it and just
eat the thing already!
[21:36] Yu
U-Uh, sure!
[21:37] Niko
Sheesh, don't be so mad, Miwa.

That there's a pawn, the weakest shogi piece.
[04:23] (Flashback) Grandpa
They can't move more than one space, after all.
[04:27] (Flashback) Sakura
Don't like them.
[04:30] (Flashback) Grandpa
However, they always move forward,
no matter what.
[04:34] (Flashback) Grandpa
They never duck sideways,
or retreat backward either.
[04:41] (Flashback) Grandpa
Pawns are weak, little pieces, but they
always move forward, one step at a time.

However!

The game gets really exciting
if you know the right moves...

Honey, Sakura is still three years old.
[05:16] (Flashback) Sakura
Grandpa, teach me how to play shogi.
[05:27] (Flashback) Kid
Let's go play at the park!
[05:38] (Flashback) Grandpa
I'm afraid you've gotten too good
for your old gramps, Sakura.
[05:43] (Flashback) Grandpa

Until one fateful tournament...
[06:13] Sakura
She's a prodigy!
[06:22] Sakura
She crushed me while barely
even using her allotted time.
[06:27] Sakura
My defeat was so complete
that it was almost inhumane.
[06:33] Sakura
She was the youngest daughter of a family
full of natural-born talents: Miwa Mikadono.
[06:41] Sakura
We're both girls and the same age.
So why were we so different?
[06:46] Sakura
Why does she have everything I don't?

Isn't she in middle school?
How's that her test score?
[07:14] (Flashback) Suzuki
She may be pretty good at shogi,
[07:16] (Flashback) Suzuki
but with that low intellect,
she won't go far even if she tries.
[07:23] (Flashback) Miwa
A. Tanaka, your record
this season is zero wins, five losses.
[07:29] (Flashback) Miwa
You blundered with that knight
in your last match.
[07:33] (Flashback) Miwa
And B. Suzuki, you're at one win, four losses.
[07:36] (Flashback) Miwa
The match before last, moving your
gold general to 8-8 was a massive fail.
[07:40] Suzuki
She memorized all the moves from our matches?
[07:42] (Flashback) Tanaka
I-I don't want to hear it!
[07:44] (Flashback) Miwa
If ya got time to run your mouth,
then use it to memorize my moves.

And you! Don't just sit there!
Stand up for yourself!
[08:03] (Flashback) Miwa
Hey, stoppit! It'll look like I made ya cry!
[08:08] Sakura
I felt pathetic.
[08:10] Sakura
Not only was I a loser at shogi—the one
thing I had—she was taking pity on me.
[08:16] Sakura
She didn't see me as an adversary.
[08:22] (Flashback) Miwa
R-Remember how ya countered with your pawns?

They always move forward gradually,

until they turn into a powerful promoted piece.
[08:46] (Flashback) Miwa
Ya don't mess around when using your pawns.
[08:49] (Flashback) Miwa
There's practically no one else who's
capable of that gameplay. So take pride!
[08:56] Sakura
I get it...
[08:58] Sakura
I'm a pawn.
[09:01] (Flashback) Sakura
I'll show you that even a mere pawn
can grab the spotlight!
[09:05] (Flashback) Miwa
Wha?
[09:06] (Flashback) Sakura
Miwa Mikadono! Starting today,
I declare you my rival!
[09:10] (Flashback) Miwa

Not to mention, the pawns outnumber
