[06:56] Hayato     You've become weak. [06:58] Niko     S-Sorry. I promise to train more. [07:01] Hayato     It's not that. [07:02] Hayato     It's not about karate.     I'm talking about your spirit. [07:06] Hayato     You're relying on someone else's     strength to make a choice. [07:09] Hayato     It's pathetic.

[07:48] Niko     Sorry, Yu. [07:51] Niko     You're going through all this grief     because I said something out of character. [07:56] Yu     Out of character? [07:57] Niko     Yeah. [07:59] Niko     I'm the one who's supposed to be stronger. [08:03] (Flashback) Hayato     Niko! Let's be the best     in martial arts together. [08:08] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono     Focus only on being strong, Niko. [08:12] Niko     People have always wanted me to be strong,     because strength is my talent. [08:18] (Flashback) Buzzcut     We're counting on you, Captain! [08:20] (Flashback) Ponytail     We know you can do it, Captain! [08:23] Niko     Everyone sees me as someone     they can pin their hopes on. [08:28] Niko     Yes, I do want to be strong. [08:32] Niko     But... That's not all that I am. [08:38] Niko     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. [09:17] Yu     But putting that aside... [09:20] Yu     You're "out of character"     far more often than you realize. [09:27] Niko     D-Dumbass! [09:30] Niko     You know that's not true. [09:31] Yu     Is that what you think? [09:34] Yu     When I first met you, [09:36] Yu     I thought you were a real live monster. [09:41] Yu     But you turned out to be prim and proper. [09:43] Yu     And you were curious about beauty and fashion. [09:57] Niko     Cut that out now! [09:59] Niko     I never asked you to watch me like a hawk! [10:02] Yu     Sorry, those things just caught my eye. [10:04] Yu     You're so strong, so it was     like seeing a new side of you. [10:09] Niko     A new side... of me? [10:13] Niko     That's the last thing I'd want you to see. [10:16] Niko     It'd be too weird. [10:18] Yu     I never thought it was weird. Not even once. [10:23] Yu     All your sides contribute     to making you what you are. [10:27] Yu     There's no wrong or right side to you. [10:30] Yu     Right? [10:32] Yu     You're strong but sometimes vulnerable.     That's the real Niko-san. [10:40] Niko     You jackass! [10:46] Niko     You're... [10:49] Niko     You're the only one...     who would say that about me. [10:56] Niko     I wanna make my own choices     about my own life. [11:00] Niko     At the same time, I want you to help me, too. [11:04] Niko     Honestly... [11:06] Niko     I'm so indecisive. [11:13] Yu     You got it, Niko-san! [11:16] Yu     If that's what you want... [11:20] Yu     Then the two of us will fight him. [11:27] Niko     W-We can't, Yu! That's completely unfair! [11:32] Yu     Leave everything to me.

You want another handicap, Ayase-kun? [12:15] Yu     That's right! [12:17] Yu     We want two matches, Tatsumi-senpai. [12:21] Yu     You want Niko-san to come to your     school to become stronger, correct? [12:26] Hayato     Yeah. [12:27] Yu     But if Niko-san wins against you,     then you don't need to recruit her. [12:30] Yu     Therefore, she gets to stay     if either of us beat you! [12:36] Vice Captain     He's cheap.

[13:06] Yu     This is all part of my plan     to protect you, Niko-san. [13:11] Niko     All you do is take cheap shots. [13:12] Yu     Tatsumi-senpai is the top athlete     in high school karate. [13:16] Yu     I'll go first and hurt him enough     to give you an advantage. [13:21] Niko     But that just means     you're the sacrificial lamb.

[15:54] Buzzcut     She's fast! [15:56] Niko     His greatest advantage     is the long reach of his kicks. [16:00] Niko     I have to keep getting close and pound him! [16:07] Vice Captain     Look! [16:08] Vice Captain     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! [16:20] Vice Captain     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     A middle punch! [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. [17:03] Teammate     Get him! [17:04] Teammate     Captain! [17:05] Niko     I'm still in it!

[17:30] Ponytail     If he scores one more point,     our captain loses! [17:33] Vice Captain     There's nothing she can do. [17:35] Buzzcut     Is Tatsumi-senpai really this tough to beat?

[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?

[14:44] Yu     The Mikadonos took me in     due to circumstances, [14:47] Yu     and I'm returning the favor     by being their supporter. [14:50] Yu     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! [15:14] Sakura     Yes, it is!

[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. [15:37] Sakura     The spotlight isn't just for prodigies!

[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.

[13:52] 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.

[14:26] 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.

[15:46] 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.

[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.

[19:37] 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?

[21:12] 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!

[16:46] Kazuki     But if Yu's convinced,     we can leave it at that. [16:48] Kazuki     He's such a simpleton. [16:51] Man     Goodbye! [16:52] Miwa     Bye! [16:56] Niko     You really did great out there. [16:58] Niko     And you were just one loss away     from losing your title, too. [17:02] Kazuki     Mm-hmm. [17:05] Niko     You really are something else, Miwa. [17:07] Kazuki     I'm proud to call you my sister. [17:12] (Flashback) Kazuki     I'll admit that I'm proud.

[17:34] Miwa     Be sure to capture this child prodigy     surrounded by her fangirls! [17:38] Niko     Who're you calling a fangirl? [17:40] Kazuki     I won't let you outshine me in your kimono! [17:48] Niko     Hey! [17:50] Kazuki     Why'd you take that?! [17:52] Sakura     I still couldn't reach her. [17:56] Sakura     But... [17:57] Sakura     You saw me as someone. [18:04] Sakura     Yu Ayase... [18:07] Sakura     What's a mediocre guy like you doing there? [18:12] Sakura     That's right. [18:15] Sakura     Even a small, weak pawn     will someday take the spotlight [18:20] Sakura     and play the leading role! [18:31] Yu     Seven in the morning. [18:33] Yu     The middle sister is splitting tiles. [18:35] Miwa     So that's what you're tryin' to pull? [18:39] Miwa     Y'know, this ain't like ya,     not playing by the books! [18:44] Yu     The youngest is talking to an AI. [18:47] Yu     And the oldest... [18:50] Yu     Here you go, Kazuki-san! [18:52] Kazuki     This is the smoothie you thought up? [18:54] Yu     Yup! Get your nutrients from veggie power,      not just supplements! [19:03] Kazuki     Too bitter. [19:06] Yu     Sorry! I forgot to make sure it tastes good. [19:09] Kazuki     You miserable failure! You try it! [19:12] Yu     Sure. [19:18] Kazuki     Is this an indirect... [19:21] Kazuki     Gimme that! [19:26] Yu     Niko-san? [19:28] Yu     You'll catch a cold with all that sweat. [19:31] Niko     Uh, thanks. [19:37] Niko     Yu, did you switch the fabric softener? [19:39] Yu     Yeah, I found one with     the floral scent you like. [19:45] Yu     So incredibly cute... [19:48] Yu     The fragrance, I mean! [19:51] Niko     Th... [19:52] Niko     The... fragrance? [19:55] Niko     Wh-Who the hell calls a fragrance "cute"? [19:58] Yu     Sorry... [20:00] Miwa     Ya little sneak!     But I knew you'd pull that move. [20:05] Miwa     Ah, I'm all out. [20:07] Yu     I made some special jelly     to replenish blood sugar. [20:10] Yu     Here you go. [20:12] Miwa     Wow, so fancy! [20:14] Miwa     But I can't use a spoon     in the middle of a game! [20:22] Yu     Here. [20:23] Yu     Say "ahh" for me. [20:25] Miwa     I-I can eat it myself! [20:28] Three     Unbelievable. [20:31] Yu     Guys, let's have breakfast! [20:34] Yu     Nothing important was going on.
