**[00:14] Staff**
Stop!
**[00:41] Yu**
Hello, everyone.
Thank you for coming today.
**[00:47] Yu**
As of next April, I, Yu Otonashi, will be
leaving the entertainment industry...
**[00:55] Yu**
to study at the Horse Racing School.
**[00:58] Reporters**
Why are you announcing this now?
**[00:59] Reporters**
What did the rest of the band think?
**[01:01] Reporters**
What's the future of Mr. Doctor?
**[01:04] Reporters**
Otonashi, why did you
decide to become a jockey?
**[01:12] Yu**
It's been echoing within
me ever since that day...
**[01:35] Yu**
I think I've finally found it.
**[01:47] News**
*Found racing... you mean?*
**[01:54] Yu**
No.
**[01:56] Yu**
What I found was...
**[02:05] Sign**

**[02:09] Sign**
Horse Racing Studies
**[02:12] ---**
Thank you for everything.
**[02:26] Girls**
I'm so shocked.
**[02:28] Girls**
What's Mr. Doctor without Yu?
**[02:30] Girls**
Seriously! They looked like
such good friends, too.
**[02:35] Kosei**
Why? Why are you quitting *now*?
**[02:38] Masaki**
Knock it off. Yu thought it over
a lot before deciding to quit.
**[02:55] Shun**
Thanks, mister!
**[02:57] Shun**
Say hi to the rest of the island for me!
**[03:30] Sign**
Turn right in 5 meters,
then left at the intersection
**[03:30] ---**
24 mins
**[03:35] Yu**
Huh?
**[03:37] Yu**
Wait...
**[03:39] Yu**
No way!
**[03:42] Yu**
Where am I?
**[03:47] Yu**
I'm fine... Totally fine...
**[03:52] Yu**
I'm not, am I?
**[03:55] Yu**
I'm lost.
**[04:17] Yu**
This way.
**[04:51] Yu**
A horse...
**[04:53] ---**
The Horse Racing School
**[04:58] Aki**
It's obvious what they're here for.
**[05:00] Hayato**
Don't say that, Aki.
It's good to have the publicity.
**[05:05] Aki**
You're such a suck-up, Hayato.
**[05:07] Aki**
It'll take a lot more than that
to bring in more young jockeys.
**[05:11] Kota**
Look at them all!
**[05:12] Kota**
Think we'll be in the papers, too?
**[05:14] Eri**
Probably.
**[05:16] Eri**
Sheesh. The first girl jockey student in
forever, and thanks to *him*, nobody cares.
**[05:22] Sojiro**
Or look at it this way.
**[05:23] Sojiro**
Thanks to him, everybody'll be
watching the incoming class.
**[05:27] Sojiro**
Hey, everybody! We're the students who
are going to be Yu Otonashi's classmates!
**[05:34] Aki**
Knock it off, idiot!
**[05:37] Reporter**
Otonashi! I'm from Weekly Raishun.
**[05:40] Reporter**
Can you tell us a little about why you suddenly
decided to get involved in horse racing?
**[05:45] Yu**
U-Um...
**[05:48] Asahi**
Hey, paparazzi dude.
**[05:50] Asahi**
You got permission to interview him now?
**[05:53] Asahi**
This place is off-limits
to the public, please.
**[05:56] Reporter**
Oh, um...
**[05:58] Asahi**
So leave, okay?
**[05:59] Asahi**
Horses are delicate, so it's a
big "no, thank you" to noise.
**[06:03] Asahi**
They don't like shutter sounds
or inappropriate questions.
**[06:07] Reporters**
We're sorry!
**[06:12] Yu**
U-Um... thank you.
**[06:16] Asahi**
So you're the new student,
huh? Yu Arimura, right?
**[06:19] Yu**
Uh, yes. I'm Yu Arimura.
**[06:22] Asahi**
Welcome. I'm Yutaka Asahi, your instructor.
**[06:25] Asahi**
Out of interest, why'd you
come in through the back gate?
**[06:29] Yu**
Oh, uh, my phone stopped
working and I got lost...
**[06:35] Asahi**
Oh my god! That's bad!
**[06:38] Asahi**
Those woods back there are
dark and very scary, right?
**[06:41] Yu**
Yeah, I guess.
**[06:42] Asahi**
They say, sometimes, you can even
see the ghost of a horse in there.
**[06:46] Asahi**
It's just a rumor, though.
**[06:49] Yu**
I saw one! The ghost of a horse, I mean.
**[06:53] Yu**
Well, maybe it wasn't a ghost,
but it *was* a beautiful horse.
**[06:58] Asahi**
Huh. Fascinating.
**[07:05] Shun**
Hm?
**[07:07] Staff**
You still can't get a hold of him?
**[07:09] Staff**
He doesn't have a cell phone.
**[07:12] Staff**
Huh? There are still kids without cell phones?
**[07:15] Nohira**
Anybody come in through
the back gate this year?
**[07:19] Asahi**
That'll be a yes. For the first time in ages.
**[07:22] Staff**
The ceremony's about to begin.
**[07:23] Nohira**
Well, that's a problem.
**[07:25] Asahi**
We might have a lot of
troublemakers in this year's class.
**[07:29] Nohira**
They'll calm down before too long.
**[07:34] Nohira**
I'll make sure of it.
**[07:39] ---**
Entrance Ceremony Grounds
**[07:43] Sojiro**
It still hasn't started?
**[07:46] Hayato**
The ones who didn't come to the
orientation course aren't here yet.
**[07:50] Aki**
They're rank amateurs and
they think it's okay to be late?
**[08:00] Aki**
Here's one of them now.
**[08:05] Kota**
Hey, can I call you Otonashi?
**[08:08] Yu**
You can call me Otonashi,
or by my real name, Arimura.
**[08:13] Kota**
I'm Kota Maki.
**[08:15] Kota**
Do you know anyone who works in
horse racing, Arimura?
**[08:18] Yu**
Nope. Not a single one.
**[08:19] Kota**
Ah, I see. Me, neither.
**[08:23] Kota**
During orientation, everyone seemed to
know each other already. I was kinda lonely.
**[08:27] Yu**
We're the same, then.
**[08:30] Staff**
Okay, new students,
please head to the grounds.
**[08:34] All**
Yes, sir!
**[08:37] Staff**
Excuse me, we're the electricians.
**[08:41] Staff**
We're supposed to be doing
some work here today...
**[08:43] Staff**
Sorry, it's entrance ceremony day.
The parking lots are all full.
**[08:49] Staff**
Can you do your jobs from the back lot?
**[08:52] Staff**
Sure thing.
**[08:57] ---**
Reiwa 4
**[08:58] Principal**
For the next three years, this is the
place where you will learn to be jockeys.
**[08:58] ---**
41st Jockey Class Opening Ceremony
**[09:04] Principal**
Once you know the basics, you'll progress
to practical training at Ritto and Miho,
**[09:04] ---**
41st Jockey Class
Opening Ceremony
**[09:11] Principal**
and learn how to really ride a horse.
**[09:14] Principal**
Only then will you become real jockeys.
**[09:17] Principal**
I'm expecting great things from all of
you after you graduate and turn pro.
**[09:24] Principal**
Nearest Station
**[09:24] Principal**
Here
**[09:24] Principal**
Elementary
School
**[09:31] Shun**
Well, whatever.
**[09:37] MC**
Next up is Sojiro Sakuraba.
**[09:39] MC**
His father used to be a jockey and is now a
trainer who has raised many famous horses.
**[09:45] MC**
Did your father have any advice for you?
**[09:49] Sojiro**
No. My dad's my dad, and I'm me.
**[09:53] Sojiro**
My dad's a stuffy old geezer, but I
want to be half-celebrity, half-jockey!
**[09:58] Sojiro**
Fortunately, we already
have a celebrity in our class,
**[10:01] Sojiro**
so I'd like to learn a few things from him.
**[10:08] MC**
Next up is Hayato Hosho.
**[10:11] MC**
He's a talented jockey who has
won a number of competitions.
**[10:15] MC**
How are you feeling on your first day?
**[10:17] Hayato**
I'm relieved I made it in this year.
**[10:22] Hayato**
I want to learn to be a
jockey as soon as I can,
**[10:25] Hayato**
so my mother up in heaven can watch me.
**[10:29] MC**
Thank you.
**[10:31] MC**
Next up is Eri Shimotsuki.
**[10:34] MC**
You're our first female jockey prospect
in years. How do you feel about that?
**[10:38] MC**
If you have any specific
goals, please tell us.
**[10:42] Eri**
I don't think your gender has
anything to do with racing.
**[10:46] Eri**
My goal is to make as much
prize money as possible,
**[10:49] Eri**
which will make the wallets of the trainers
and owners who support me very happy!
**[10:57] Yu**
* Everybody has their*
* reasons for coming here.*
**[11:04] Yu**
* For me, coming here meant betraying the*
* hopes of my band members and my fans...*
**[11:36] Shun**
*The wind...*
**[11:38] Yu**
I know I've caused a lot of worry for my fans.
**[11:42] Yu**
I'll do my best to take
it one step at a time,
**[11:44] Yu**
so that I can live up to
everybody's hopes for me.
**[11:47] Yu**
I hope I can count on your support.
**[11:51] Hayato**
He's good at this.
**[11:53] Aki**
He's trying not to piss anybody off.
**[11:55] Sojiro**
Yeah, no fun at all.
**[11:58] MC**
Well then, that concludes
our press conference—
**[12:00] Reporters**
Otonashi, let us ask you some questions!
**[12:03] Reporters**
What do you have to say to the
band members you left behind?
**[12:05] Reporters**
Some people are saying they want
you to go back to being an idol.
**[12:09] Yu**
What I've just told you is
everything I have to say.
**[12:12] Reporters**
That's not good enough!
**[12:13] Saionji**
Those aren't his own words.
**[12:16] Reporters**
But you didn't tell us anything!
**[12:17] Reporters**
Don't you understand you're
one of Japan's top idols?
**[12:20] MC**
I-I said this conference is over!
**[12:23] MC**
New students, please leave the stage!
**[12:28] Hayato**
They want us to hang out here for a while.
**[12:30] Eri**
Got it.
**[12:32] Aki**
A certain somebody made a mess of things.
**[12:39] Kota**
Hey, uh, Arimura, what kind of
jockey do you want to be?
**[12:43] Yu**
Why do you ask?
**[12:46] Kota**
It feels like a waste to
just sit here in silence.
**[12:52] Yu**
I want to be the kind of jockey
who becomes one with his horse.
**[12:59] Kota**
That's kind of amazing. Right, guys?
**[13:01] Aki**
He'll be running for the hills soon enough.
**[13:08] Aki**
What's this? You wanna fight?
**[13:11] Hayato**
Knock it off, you two.
**[13:13] Aki**
I'm not here to mess around.
**[13:16] Aki**
I'm serious about being a jockey.
**[13:18] Aki**
This isn't a place for some celebrity to
play around at riding and see if he likes it!
**[13:23] Yu**
I'm not here to play around!
**[13:34] Yu**
What was that?

Get to the scene now!
**[13:50] Staff**
Everyone, stay calm.
**[13:52] Staff**
Don't try to leave the building.
**[13:54] Nohira**
I see. Partial damage to the stable roof,
huh? But the horses are safe, right?
**[13:59] Staff**
Instructor Nohira!
**[14:00] Staff**
The stable trainees had
two horses out on a lead
**[14:03] Staff**
when the noise startled
them and they ran off.
**[14:06] Asahi**
What?
**[14:08] Hayato**
What was that sound?
**[14:18] Sojiro**
Runaways?
**[14:19] Eri**
No way!
**[14:21] Aki**
This is gonna be fun!
**[14:23] Hayato**
Hold it. We should tell the instructors.
**[14:26] Sojiro**
They already know.
**[14:28] Sojiro**
And if we can catch them
ourselves, we'll make the news.
**[14:32] Eri**
That's a big if.
**[14:34] Kota**
They're probably standing around
in the open space on the right.
**[14:38] Kota**
The left way leads to the gym and
parking lots, so they'll avoid all that.
**[14:41] Kota**
The right leads to the horse clinic,
which is quiet and has a big open space.
**[14:45] Aki**
You know the place well?
**[14:47] Kota**
I had my head in the pamphlet over the break...
**[14:50] Eri**
So what do we do?
**[14:56] Hayato**
Don't blame me if this goes wrong! Split into
two groups and go at them from both sides.
**[15:00] All**
Right!
**[15:05] Eri**
Sheesh. What a mess.
**[15:08] Kota**
You too, Arimura.
**[15:09] Yu**
Hey, wait...
**[15:13] Aki**
Wow, they're really here.
**[15:15] Hayato**
Hold up. The others aren't here yet.
**[15:18] Sojiro**
Relax, Hayato. They'll be here soon.
**[15:27] Hayato**
Watch out!
**[15:30] Eri**
Arimura!
**[15:31] Kota**
Arimura!
**[15:33] Aki**
He'll be running for the hills soon enough.
**[15:40] Yu**
*I'm not here to play around.*
**[15:55] Shun**
You'll just scare the horse even worse.
**[16:04] Yu**
Um...
**[16:05] Aki**
Stay put!
**[16:09] Aki**
There's nothing to be scared of! It's all fine!
**[16:11] Shun**
It's okay! It's okay!
**[16:15] Aki**
Who are you?
**[16:17] Shun**
Calm down. The horses
can sense your excitement.
**[16:21] Aki**
It's okay! It's okay!
**[16:24] Aki**
Tongue clicking? You can't
calm a horse down like that...
**[16:38] Shun**
See? It's okay now.
**[16:43] Hayato**
Who the heck are you?
**[16:45] Sojiro**
That uniform...
**[16:47] Sojiro**
Ah! Are you the guy who was late?
**[16:50] Shun**
Forget about that for now.
We have to go catch the other one.
**[16:53] Hayato**
Oh, yeah, right.
**[16:55] Hayato**
But that horse...
**[16:57] Aki**
Leave it to him.
**[16:59] Shun**
Sure!
**[17:00] Hayato**
Got it.
**[17:01] Hayato**
You and Arimura hand it
over to the instructors, then.
**[17:04] Hayato**
Everyone, to the track!
**[17:06] All**
Right!
**[17:06] All**
Okay, okay.
**[17:09] Yu**
Wait!
**[17:13] Shun**
I guess they think you'll slow them down, huh?
**[17:23] ---**
All right.
**[17:26] Shun**
Now then...
**[17:29] Shun**
Let's go.
**[17:33] Yu**
What are you doing? You can't just get on it.
**[17:35] Shun**
If you want to know about a
horse, you ask another horse.
**[17:39] Shun**
I'm sure that other horse is scared.
**[17:44] Shun**
But with this one, we can find it fast.
**[17:50] Shun**
Wanna come with?
**[18:04] Aki**
It's over there, huh?
**[18:06] Sojiro**
So how do we catch it?
**[18:08] Hayato**
Let's see... we could all surround it and
shepherd it to the side of the track...
**[18:14] Shun**
Out of the way!
**[18:23] Shun**
Wow, you're amazing! You can jump!
**[18:26] Hayato**
What's happening?
**[18:28] Nohira**
What are you all doing here?!
**[18:31] Hayato**
Um, the horses...
**[18:33] Asahi**
I understand what's going on.
**[18:36] Asahi**
But who are the boys
riding without permission?
**[18:39] ERi**
I think it's Arimura and
the boy who was late.
**[18:43] Nohira**
Impossible! We need to stop them right now.
**[18:51] Asahi**
*They're going faster?*
**[18:53] Asahi**
* He leaned forward to decrease*
* the load on the horse.*
**[18:56] Asahi**
*He's making it look easy...*
**[18:59] Asahi**
Everyone, pair up and block the exits
to the track so they don't run off.
**[19:05] Nohira**
Instructor Asahi?
**[19:08] Shun**
It's okay! It's okay!
**[19:10] Shun**
You'll tire yourself out, running like that.
**[19:13] Shun**
You can stop. There's nothing to be afraid of.
**[19:17] Yu**
*So this is what a jockey sees.*
**[19:21] Yu**
Can you get neck and neck with it?
**[19:25] Shun**
Okay.
**[19:30] Yu**
I can't grab the reins!
The wind's too strong!
**[19:33] Shun**
Don't be scared.
**[19:34] Shun**
Listen to the sounds of nature.
**[19:37] Yu**
*The sounds of nature?*
**[20:06] Kota**
Wow!
**[20:07] Eri**
Nice!
**[20:12] Hayato**
Whew...
**[20:15] Nohira**
Sheesh. What if something
had happened to the horse?
**[20:19] Asahi**
Let it go, and don't worry about it.
**[20:22] Nohira**
You're too soft on the students.
**[20:24] Shun**
There we go.
**[20:25] Asahi**
Now, now.
**[20:26] Asahi**
Looks like we've got exciting
days ahead of us this year.
**[20:31] Shun**
Wow, that was fantastic!
**[20:34] Shun**
I didn't know it felt so
good to ride a horse!
**[20:37] Shun**
They're not that hard to ride, huh?
**[20:40] Yu**
Wait, you've never ridden a horse?
**[20:42] Shun**
Nope!
**[21:01] Yu**
Let me down!
**[21:03] Shun**
All right, all right.
**[21:04] Saionji**
Let's go.
**[21:11] Shun**
I haven't forgotten.
**[21:12] Shun**
Thank you.
**[21:13] Shun**
We became one, huh?
**[21:18] Yu**
Became one...
**[21:20] Shun**
Nice to meet you.
**[21:22] ---**
I'm Shun Kazanami.
**[21:24] Shun**
Who are you?
**[21:27] Yu**
I'm...
**[21:27] Reporters**
Otonashi!
**[21:29] Reporters**
Excuse me!
**[21:30] Reporters**
Wow, it's your first day and
there's already a runaway horse?
**[21:33] Reporters**
Being a jockey seems dangerous.
Are you really up to the task?
**[21:36] Reporters**
When are you going back to
being an idol, Otonashi—
**[21:39] Yu**
No!
**[21:42] Yu**
I've found something I want
to do with all my heart.
**[21:52] Yu**
I'm...
**[21:55] Yu**
Yu Arimura.
**[23:31] Tako**
Madam President, Yu's a good kid.
**[23:34] Tako**
He'll come back.

***SIGN*** The Horse Racing School
**[00:01] Tako**
A month has passed since
the entrance ceremony.
**[00:04] Tako**
What are this year's new
jockey apprentices up to?
**[00:09] Tako**
I, freelance director Tako Kitami,
**[00:11] Tako**
am here to bring you a documentary
on the Horse Racing School,
**[00:16] Tako**
and show you what tomorrow's
top riders are doing today!
**[01:51] Tako**
You've been here a month now. Have you
learned how to take care of a horse?
**[01:55] Yu**
Yes.
**[01:58] Tako**
This is the horse that you caught
on your first day, Kazanami!
**[02:02] Shun**
Yup! His name's Maioka Kyoshin!
**[02:05] Shun**
See? You're on TV, Maioka Kyoshin.
**[02:09] Shun**
You want to make sure she
gets your best angle?
**[02:11] Shun**
Angling for fame, are you?
***SIGN*** Episode 2 Yu and Yu
**[02:15] Tako**
So, what's this horse's name?
**[02:17] Yu**
Rice Kate.
**[02:19] Tako**
This is another one of the
horses you caught, right?
**[02:23] Tako**
Did you become friends
with him, Otonashi?
**[02:26] Yu**
My name's Arimura—
**[02:27] Sojiro**
Hey there!
**[02:28] Sojiro**
We're about to do a
checkup on the horses!
**[02:32] Eri**
Then we'll clean the stables,
and then it's feeding time!
**[02:34] Eri**
We'll do our best for the horses!
**[02:53] Sojiro**
Arimura, lighten up a bit.
**[02:56] Hayato**
Yeah, they don't do documentaries
for new students often.
**[03:00] Eri**
Exactly. If you don't get your act together,
we won't get on-screen.
**[03:04] Aki**
We won't get on-screen either way.
**[03:06] Aki**
We're just extras.
**[03:07] Yu**
That's not true. If you weren't so
mad all the time, they'd film you too.
**[03:11] Aki**
What?
**[03:12] Kota**
But we can really show off
in the practicals, right?
**[03:15] Eri**
You'll only show off how lousy you are.
**[03:20] Shun**
This is so good!
**[03:23] Hayato**
Well, let's not let the cameras scare us.
We can just do what we always do.
**[03:38] Tako**
They're all in a neat row!
**[03:40] Tako**
What kind of training is this?
**[03:42] Asahi**
Question?
**[03:43] Tako**
Yes, I guess.
**[03:45] Asahi**
This is a basic training lesson where
you keep all your horses the same space
**[03:48] Asahi**
apart from each other.
**[03:50] Asahi**
We check their posture
and their accompaniment.
**[03:52] Tako**
Posture? Accompaniment?
**[03:54] Asahi**
Whether they're sitting in good form
and being buddies with their horse.
**[04:00] Tako**
I see!
**[04:02] Tako**
They're all very good!
**[04:04] Nohira**
You're crap at this!
**[04:05] Nohira**
Your body's shaking too much.
**[04:07] Nohira**
Maki, stable posture!
**[04:09] Kota**
Right!
**[04:10] Nohira**
Arimura, what's your problem?
Did you forget everything I taught you?
**[04:15] Nohira**
This isn't a preschool dance rehearsal!
**[04:17] Yu**
Sorry!
**[04:34] Asahi**
Miss Shimotsuki, focus on accompaniment first!
**[04:37] Eri**
Okay!
**[04:40] Nohira**
What are you doing? Try that again!
**[04:43] Yu**
Okay!
**[04:43] Kota**
Sorry!
**[04:44] Tako**
Um, why are those two doing
different training than the rest?
**[04:49] Nohira**
They're less capable than the others.
**[04:52] Nohira**
Maki's letting the horse
take too much control.
**[04:53] Nohira**
That can be a good thing, though,
so we need to improve his skill there.
**[04:57] Tako**
And Arimura?
**[05:00] Nohira**
Arimura's trying hard.
But he's treating it like a job.
**[05:05] Nohira**
His soul's not in it.
**[05:09] Nohira**
Arimura! Focus!
**[05:11] Nohira**
Your breathing's totally out
of sync with your horse's!
**[05:19] Tako**
He looks great on camera!
**[05:23] Sojiro**
Most horses put their left
front foot out first,
**[05:25] Sojiro**
but a very few start with their right.
**[05:28] Sojiro**
This can affect whether they're better
at cornering right or cornering left,
**[05:32] Sojiro**
so you need to be aware of it in advance.
**[05:34] Nohira**
Good.
**[05:37] Nohira**
Sakuraba!
**[05:38] Sojiro**
Sorry.
**[05:54] Asahi**
Okay, one more time.
**[05:56] All**
Yes sir!
**[05:58] Asahi**
Keep your balance!
**[06:06] Eri**
Yes! It's fun because I'm
doing something new every day!
**[06:10] Eri**
It's hard, with so much to learn!
But it's very fulfilling!
**[06:15] Tako**
Okay, thank you.
**[06:17] Eri**
Sure thing.
**[06:21] Tako**
Lastly... Arimura.
**[06:27] Tako**
Now, tell me.
**[06:28] Tako**
You've spent the last month
learning to be a jockey.
**[06:32] Tako**
How do you feel, honestly?
**[06:35] Yu**
What are you trying to do here?
**[06:37] Tako**
The school gave me permission. Why?
**[06:39] Yu**
Did the CEO put you up to this?
**[06:41] Yu**
Nobody said anything
about a documentary.
**[06:43] Yu**
You're bothering everybody. So leave.
**[06:47] Tako**
You don't get it, do you?
**[06:49] Tako**
Yu, when you quit, you didn't understand
how the grown-up world works.
**[06:53] Tako**
If you're trying to force your way,
you need to be prepared to pay a price.
**[06:58] Yu**
And this is the price I pay
for quitting being an idol?
**[07:00] Tako**
I think you got a pretty good deal.
**[07:03] Tako**
This is to make up for several
years of lost Mr. Doctor earnings.
**[07:07] Tako**
Or would you rather pay it back?
**[07:11] Tako**
Now, answer the question.
**[07:13] Tako**
And no using the camera as an excuse.
**[07:16] Tako**
Do you think you'll be
able to become a jockey?
**[07:23] Yu**
I'm going to talk to the instructors.
**[07:41] Asahi**
Is this about Arimura?
**[07:43] Nohira**
His balance has been a mess since
the documentary filming began.
**[07:47] Nohira**
You're sure it wasn't a mistake to OK this?
**[07:49] Asahi**
Sounds like a personal problem.
**[07:52] Asahi**
The other kids are doing just fine.
**[07:55] Nohira**
We don't need someone who's only
good for getting TV ratings.
**[07:57] Nohira**
He needs to be just
as good as the others.
**[08:08] Aki**
There he is!
**[08:09] Aki**
Horses from Yaguchi stables
have such fine hair.
**[08:12] Eri**
What are the odds?
**[08:14] Kota**
Arimura! This is the race Kuji won last week.
**[08:17] Kota**
Let's watch it together!
**[08:18] Kota**
Arimura?
**[08:20] Kota**
He'll be in the derby the day after tomorrow!
**[08:22] Kota**
The one we're going to see...
**[08:25] Hayato**
Something's wrong.
**[08:27] Sojiro**
Upset stomach?
**[08:29] Eri**
He got yelled at pretty bad.
**[08:31] Aki**
Forget him. The race is starting.
**[08:45] Shun**
All the horsies run run run!
**[08:56] Shun**
Yu, you were a mess out there today, huh?
**[08:59] Yu**
Did you have to say it like that?
**[09:01] Shun**
It happens. Everybody was really
excited today, for one thing.
**[09:04] Yu**
Yeah, with that camera there.
**[09:07] Shun**
What? Do you still care about that?
**[09:12] Yu**
The cameras don't bother you?
**[09:15] Shun**
They don't mean much to me.
**[09:17] Shun**
There weren't really TVs
or internet on the island.
**[09:20] Shun**
I didn't even know you were famous.
**[09:23] Yu**
I've had cameras on me for a long time,
so I don't want to blame them.
**[09:30] Shun**
Sure you're not just thinking too much?
**[09:32] Shun**
The horses don't care about
any of that, I think.
**[09:39] Kota**
There you are, Arimura!
**[09:42] Hayato**
What's got you so down?
**[09:44] Hayato**
Why don't you share with the class?
**[09:47] Aki**
You've always been a failure.
Why's it only bothering you now?
**[09:54] Sojiro**
Hey, Yu Arimura!
**[09:56] Sojiro**
El Condor...
**[09:58] Sojiro**
PASA!
**[09:59] Aki**
Are you stupid?
**[10:00] Kota**
That's the last Japanese
Horse of the Year of the 90s!
**[10:03] Hayato**
Blasphemy!
**[10:03] Yu**
* What does he mean,*
* thinking too much?*
**[10:07] Yu**
* If the horses don't care, does that*
* mean I'm not allowed to either?*
**[10:11] Hayato**
Hey, hey! Arimura! Arimura?
**[10:22] Yu**
Huh?
**[10:24] Yu**
Oh, right. I passed out in the bath...
**[10:36] Yu**
I'm pathetic!
**[10:39] Asahi**
Okay, next.
**[10:42] Shun**
I was really surprised yesterday!
**[10:43] Shun**
We all carried you! I never
knew people were so heavy!
**[10:47] Asahi**
You there. Shut up.
**[10:55] Tako**
I wanted to go to the derby tomorrow.
**[10:58] Eri**
You're not a staff member or a student.
**[11:01] Tako**
If I went, you might've been
able to buy a betting ticket.
**[11:03] Eri**
Really?
**[11:05] Nohira**
NO!
**[11:09] Yu**
That's right.
**[11:11] Yu**
The derby...
**[11:34] Yu**
It's been a whole year.

The room up here is huge!
**[11:48] Aki**
It's thanks to him, probably.
**[11:52] Hayato**
A special little treat for
the horse owners.
**[11:54] Sojiro**
Let's just shut up and enjoy it.
**[11:57] Shun**
Hey, let's head to the paddock!
**[12:05] Shun**
Look at all the pretty horses!
**[12:08] Shun**
Those two are nervous!
**[12:10] Shun**
And that one's really excited!
**[12:13] Kota**
Wow! This really is one of
the best races there is!
**[12:17] Kota**
None of them are too fat or too thin.
They're all in perfect shape!
**[12:22] Sojiro**
The back legs on my brother's
horse aren't moving well.
**[12:25] Sojiro**
He might not win today.
**[12:26] Eri**
It'll definitely be #5!
**[12:28] Eri**
He's won so much more
money than the others!
**[12:31] Aki**
We can't buy betting tickets anyway.
**[12:33] Aki**
No point in making guesses.
**[12:34] Eri**
How about a private bet, then?
**[12:38] Eri**
Guess right and you're excused
from toilet cleaning for a month!
**[12:41] Aki**
I'm in! It's a deal!
**[12:43] Hayato**
Hey, you can't...
**[12:47] Aki**
We're not betting money.
I'm all in on #3, Well Just!
**[12:52] Eri**
I'll take #5.
**[12:54] Sojiro**
I'll pick my brother's horse.
**[12:55] Kota**
The data's saying #2.
**[12:58] Kota**
It's Kuji riding it, after all.
**[13:00] Shun**
I'll take #1. They have such pretty eyes.
**[13:03] Eri**
What about you, Hayato?
**[13:07] Hayato**
#14. Black Cape.
**[13:09] Aki**
You took the safe bet!
**[13:10] Kota**
He's the most popular one!
**[13:12] Eri**
If he wins, you get one week off,
not one month.
**[13:16] Hayato**
It's an odds system?
**[13:18] Shun**
Hey, where's Yu?
**[13:19] Kota**
I told him we'd be heading
to the paddock first, but...
**[13:23] Kota**
Maybe he's still with
the horse owners?
**[13:31] Yu**
Where did they all go?
**[13:33] Staff**
That should do it, right?
**[13:34] Staff**
Yeah.
**[13:37] Staff**
Hey, is that...?
**[13:39] Staff**
Yeah, it's Yu Otonashi!
**[13:53] Yu**
Damn it. What am I doing?
**[14:11] Yu**
*Kuji, the jockey...*
**[14:37] Kuji**
You a student at the Horse Racing School?
**[14:40] Yu**
Oh, yes!
**[14:41] Yu**
Yu Arimura, from the 41st class!
**[14:43] Kuji**
I didn't ask your name.
**[14:45] Kuji**
This isn't a place for amateurs.
**[14:47] Yu**
Amateurs?
**[14:49] Kuji**
If you're not making money,
you're an amateur. Get out.
**[14:52] Yu**
Okay. I'm sorry.
**[15:01] Sojiro**
Oh, there you are.
**[15:02] Sojiro**
Where'd you run off to?
**[15:04] Kota**
It's time for the main event!
**[15:22] Kota**
It's time...
**[15:24] Eri**
Arimura, what number do
you want to bet on?
**[15:26] Eri**
Get it right, and you're
excused from toilet cleaning.
**[15:29] Yu**
#2 then.
**[15:31] Eri**
Sorry, Kota already took Kuji's horse.
**[15:34] Eri**
Pick another!
**[15:36] Nohira**
No talking! Focus on the race!
**[15:41] Eri**
The only ones left are #11 and...
**[15:42] Yu**
I'll take #11 then.
**[15:50] Announcer**
* They're lined up and out the*
* gate at the Japanese Derby!*
**[15:53] Announcer**
*Nobody was late out the gate.*
**[15:55] Announcer**
* In the lead are #8, One of*
* the Hill, and #4, Taka Floor.*
**[15:58] ---**
#11, Inside Rice, and #14, Black
Cape, are in the middle.
**[16:01] ---**
#2, Moa Wisteria, is at the center of the pack.
**[16:04] Announcer**
* They're all rounding the*
* first corner at once!*
**[16:09] Sojiro**
There are two out in the lead.
**[16:11] Eri**
Moa Wisteria got a good start.
**[16:14] Hayato**
Rose has his sights on Nashida.
**[16:19] Announcer**
* As they head out of the first*
* corner and into the second,*
**[16:21] Announcer**
* One of the Hill takes the lead,*
* with Taka Floor a little behind.*
**[16:24] Announcer**
* Inside Rice is tailing*
* just behind Black Cape.*
**[16:27] Announcer**
*Is Moa Wisteria standing by in the back?*
**[16:29] Shun**
Those two horses are neck and neck.
**[16:31] Kota**
Who'll take the initiative?
**[16:33] Aki**
Rose'll choose to fight!
**[16:35] Announcer**
* One of the Hill and Taka Floor*
* are leaving the rest behind!*
**[16:39] Announcer**
*They're spreading out in a line.*
**[16:40] Announcer**
* Inside Rice and Black Cape*
* aren't changing positions*
**[16:43] Announcer**
*and Moa Wisteria remains in the back.*
**[16:43] Yu**
How's the pace looking?
**[16:45] Hayato**
59 seconds? It's spread out.
**[16:48] Sojiro**
The pace of the ones in
the lead is picking up.
**[16:50] Sojiro**
The ones in the back might not make it.
**[16:53] Announcer**
*Rounding the third corner now!*
**[16:54] Announcer**
*The ones in the rear are catching up.*
**[16:56] Announcer**
*Can the two in the lead stay there?*
**[16:59] Aki**
I think something's about to
happen with the ones in the lead.
**[17:01] Eri**
It's too early.
**[17:02] Eri**
If they go hard now, Moa Wisteria
might catch up on the straight.
**[17:06] Shun**
He's watching closely from behind.
**[17:08] Announcer**
* Is this it for One of the Hill*
* and Taka Floor?*
**[17:11] Announcer**
* The ones behind are getting*
* closer and closer!*
**[17:13] Announcer**
* And the reins on Inside Rice*
* and Black Cape aren't moving!*
**[17:16] Sojiro**
There's our winner.
**[17:18] Hayato**
Who?
**[17:19] Aki**
It's Moa Wisteria, right?
**[17:20] Kota**
Nope! Inside Rice and Black Cape have been
conserving their strength! They might win!
**[17:24] Announcer**
* They're past the fourth corner*
* and into the straight!*
**[17:26] Announcer**
*Black Cape has taken the lead!*
**[17:29] Announcer**
*Inside Rice might be a little too late!*
**[17:29] Eri**
Did Nashida go hard too soon?
**[17:31] Announcer**
*Moa Wisteria is still in the middle of the pack!*
**[17:31] Hayato**
No, that was their last chance.
**[17:33] Kota**
Kuji's lost his chance to take the lead!
**[17:36] Yu**
No, there's still a chance.
**[17:52] Yu**
Now! Go!
**[17:56] Announcer**
* Moa Wisteria forced*
* his way through the gap!*
**[17:58] Hayato**
He broke through the wall!
**[18:00] Aki**
Wow, Kuji!
**[18:01] Eri**
Is there time?
**[18:02] Announcer**
*Moa Wisteria's catching up fast!*
**[18:04] Announcer**
*He's faster than Inside Rice or Black Cape!*
**[18:07] Announcer**
*But he's six lengths behind! Is there time?*
**[18:10] Announcer**
*There's 200 meters left!*
***SIGN*** Japan

**[18:21] Announcer**
*The winner is #11, Inside Rice!*

*Rose has shown us what he can do today!*
**[18:26] Announcer**
*They call him the Black Ship for a reason!*

*Third place, #14, Black Cape!*
**[18:49] Shun**
Congrats on no toilet duty.
**[18:53] Yu**
It was sheer luck.
**[18:59] Shun**
Yu, were you giving some kind
of instructions during the race?
**[19:03] Yu**
Oh, yeah.
**[19:05] Yu**
It felt like I was seeing what Kuji saw.
**[19:08] Shun**
If he'd done what you told him,
he might've won.
**[19:10] Yu**
You think?
**[19:13] Yu**
But I wasn't really
thinking about anything...
**[19:15] Yu**
Maybe that's what you
meant by thinking too much.
**[19:20] Yu**
I don't need to think about anything
but what's in front of me, do I?
**[19:24] Shun**
Did I say that?
**[19:26] Yu**
You forgot?
**[19:28] Yu**
Listen...
**[19:32] Shun**
It looked so fun... just like last year.
**[19:36] Yu**
You came to the derby last year?
**[19:39] Yu**
I came for an event.
**[19:40] Shun**
No...
**[19:42] Shun**
I heard it on the radio.
**[20:00] Yu**
Heard it?
**[20:01] Shun**
Yeah. But I was watching it. Up here.
**[20:23] Nohira**
Good job, Arimura. Keep it up.
**[20:25] Nohira**
One more lap!
**[20:27] Asahi**
Arimura's in a good mood today.
**[20:30] Nohira**
He's been pretty good since the derby.
**[20:36] Tako**
Arimura, a word for the camera.
**[20:45] Tako**
Well, he's having fun.
**[20:47] Tako**
And growing a fair bit too.
**[20:50] Tako**
Of course. Don't worry.
**[20:52] Tako**
The world of jockeys isn't that easy.
**[20:59] Nohira**
We don't need someone who's only
good for getting TV ratings.
**[21:02] Nohira**
He needs to be just
as good as the others.
**[21:06] Asahi**
But the strength he showed at the
entrance ceremony was miraculous.
**[21:11] Asahi**
If he can master that innate potential,
**[21:13] Asahi**
he might be a more amazing jockey than Kuji.
**[21:20] Tako**
I'll cut this.
**[21:23] Sojiro**
Rose was amazing on the straight!
**[21:27] Kota**
That's why he won, right?
**[21:29] Kota**
He totally felt like a foreign jockey.
**[21:31] Aki**
Who cares what country he's from?
**[21:42] Asahi**
I've got a good-looking guy
to introduce to you all.
**[21:47] Asahi**
Come on!
**[21:56] Asahi**
This is Grace Amane. He'll be
with you from now on.
**[22:01] Amane**
Hi, nice to meet you all.
**[22:05] Amane**
Nice to meet you, wimps.

Shut up!
**[02:02] Amane**
I had no intention of coming
to a Japanese school anyway.
**[02:06] Amane**
The idea that I'd have anything
to learn here is nonsense!
**[02:13] Amane**
I refuse to do this!
**[02:15] Amane**
Does cleaning a stable
teach you to ride a horse?
**[02:21] Amane**
If you really want to be top jockeys,
forget about polishing filthy floors
**[02:27] Amane**
and learn to polish your
skills at a world-class level!
**[02:31] Hayato**
The rules are the rules.
**[02:33] Hayato**
Cleaning stables and feeding horses
helps us understand them.
**[02:38] Hayato**
Helps us communicate with them better.
**[02:41] Kota**
Man and horse are one, they say.
**[02:44] Kota**
You need to become one with your horse!
**[02:53] Yu**
*One with your horse?*
**[02:57] Amane**
Horses are business partners!
**[02:59] Amane**
You can't become one with
them by sucking up to them.
**[03:03] Aki**
What did you say?
**[03:05] Shun**
Cut it out!
**[03:07] Shun**
Okay, I'll tickle you then!
**[03:09] Shun**
Tickle tickle tickle!
**[03:11] Shun**
No! No! Don't eat my head!
**[03:11] Amane**
Okay, I'll be going for my morning walk!
**[03:14] Hayato**
Hey!
**[03:15] Aki**
Hold it!
**[03:16] Eri**
What's his problem?
**[03:17] Sojiro**
He just likes attention, I think.
**[03:34] Nohira**
Arimura, lower those hips!
**[03:36] Nohira**
You're shaking back and forth!
**[03:37] Yu**
Sorry!
**[03:42] Shun**
Yu's doing pretty good.
**[03:44] Hayato**
He's been looking good lately.
**[03:46] Amane**
That's "good"? He's so low-level!
**[03:51] Eri**
Yeah?
**[03:55] Amane**
The boy in the front can't get
his horse to listen to him.
**[04:00] Amane**
The one behind him is moody.
**[04:02] Amane**
When he's into it, he does well.
But when he's not, he's a mess.
**[04:06] Amane**
And the third one is hopeless.
**[04:08] Amane**
He has no sense for this at all.
**[04:12] Amane**
He should just quit.
**[04:17] Aki**
You're certainly opinionated, blondie.
**[04:19] Aki**
You know all about who's got sense, then?
**[04:21] Amane**
Better than you, pink hair.
**[04:24] Amane**
A moment ago you were riding so
selfishly the horse ran out of oxygen.
**[04:28] Amane**
You gonna be a short-distance only jockey?
**[04:31] Aki**
What?
**[04:32] Eri**
Aki, you're always such a dick to Arimura.
**[04:35] Hayato**
He doesn't want anyone doing it but him.
**[04:37] Aki**
Fine! Let's see what you can do!
**[04:42] Amane**
Behold, boar boy!
**[04:45] Tako**
Oh?
**[04:47] Nohira**
What are they arguing about?
**[04:57] Tako**
He's so hot!
**[04:59] Asahi**
That's perfect riding.
**[05:02] Nohira**
Everyone, that's beautiful European style.
**[05:06] Nohira**
Learn from it.
**[05:32] Amane**
One of them was decent.
**[05:35] Amane**
The rest were equally useless.
**[05:37] Amane**
No, one was more useless than the rest.
**[05:47] Amane**
How long are you going to keep cleaning?
**[05:50] Yu**
Oh, hey, Amane.
**[05:53] Yu**
How'd training go?
**[05:55] Amane**
I was just giving some advice to boar boy,
**[05:58] Amane**
telling him he's wasting his time.
**[06:02] Amane**
You can't even do this?
**[06:04] Amane**
You should train your core more!
**[06:08] Amane**
Or maybe you need to train
that head of yours first.
**[06:14] Aki**
Hold it!
**[06:14] Hayato**
Amane!
**[06:15] Kota**
Escape while you can!
**[06:18] Yu**
*I can just see it.*
**[06:21] Amane**
Is Shun Kazanami here?
**[06:23] Yu**
Shun's probably in Stable C.
**[06:26] Yu**
Every afternoon he goes around
and talks to all the horses.
**[06:29] Amane**
Okay.
**[06:36] Yu**
Amane, you did great out there today.
**[06:39] Yu**
It was like you were racing
through the European plains.
**[06:45] Amane**
Do you mean it looked like
I was just having fun?
**[06:49] Yu**
No...
**[06:52] Yu**
Well, maybe.
**[06:54] Amane**
You think so, do you, no-sense-boy?
**[07:12] Amane**
What are you doing here?
**[07:15] Amane**
I heard you were an entertainer
just a few months ago.
**[07:20] Yu**
So what?
**[07:22] Amane**
Your riding sucked.
**[07:25] Amane**
Why not do a little pretend
dance on top of your horse?
**[07:28] Yu**
What did you say—
**[07:29] Eri**
Arimura?
**[07:31] Amane**
I was wasting my time.
**[07:42] Aki**
What's his problem?
**[07:45] Aki**
I don't care if he just came
back from England or whatever.
**[07:47] Aki**
He's a jerk!
**[07:49] Koji**
Supposedly he studied in
France and America too.
**[07:52] Sojiro**
He certainly likes to run his mouth.
**[07:55] Hayato**
He's spoiled the mood around here.
**[07:57] Kota**
What do you think, Arimura?
**[08:01] Yu**
He makes me mad!
**[08:03] Aki**
Right?
**[08:04] Aki**
Okay, starting tomorrow, I'll challenge him.
**[08:07] Eri**
You're wasting your time, I think.
**[08:10] Aki**
Eri, are you okay with this?
**[08:12] Eri**
Well, he didn't say anything to me.
**[08:15] Eri**
Right, Kazanami?
**[08:19] Shun**
Yeah.
**[08:21] Shun**
Well, his skills are real.
**[08:24] Shun**
His balance on the horse is great.
His commands are perfect.
**[08:27] Shun**
He can read what makes a
horse special in an instant.
**[08:31] Shun**
But...
**[08:35] Shun**
Well, right now there's
nothing bad I can say.
**[08:38] Shun**
He's the best out of any of us
on top of a horse.
**[08:45] Newscaster**
Let's look at tomorrow's weather.
**[08:47] Newscaster**
It'll be cloudy in Kanto tomorrow morning,
but the sun will be bright during the day.
**[08:52] Newscaster**
Late at night, rainclouds
will come up from the south,
**[08:55] Newscaster**
creating a chance for storms
along the mountains.
**[08:56] Shun**
Amane.
**[08:57] Amane**
Kazanami, want to go for a walk?
**[08:59] Newscaster**
It'll get warmer tomorrow
as the front clears up...
**[09:25] Yu**
Shun and Amane?
**[09:28] Hayato**
Kota saw them, he says.
**[09:30] Kota**
They just went outside!
**[09:35] Yu**
What are they doing?
**[09:37] Aki**
I checked their rooms and they were empty.
**[09:40] Yu**
But they'll be back soon, right?
**[09:42] Sojiro**
There's a reason we can't wait.
**[09:51] Sojiro**
The instructors' patrol schedule.
**[09:54] Yu**
Wow.
**[09:55] Kota**
They always come right at 11 o'clock.
**[09:58] Sojiro**
Instructor Nohira's on patrol today,
so it's really bad.
**[10:02] Yu**
Bad?
**[10:03] Aki**
Did you forget?
**[10:05] Aki**
If one member of Class 41 breaks the rules,
they act like we all did!
**[10:08] Hayato**
Leaving without permission is three points.
With an extra point for it being at night.
**[10:12] Hayato**
If that applies to all of us...
**[10:15] Sojiro**
We won't be allowed to do
riding training for week.
**[10:19] Kota**
We can't ride horses for a week?
**[10:21] Yu**
That would be bad!
**[10:23] Aki**
We'll go bring them back!
**[10:45] Aki**
Okay, let's go!
**[10:59] Amane**
Wow, this place is great!
**[11:02] Amane**
The St. Andrews of Japan, you could say!
**[11:06] Shun**
You're exaggerating.
**[11:08] Shun**
Let's head back.
**[11:09] Shun**
We get punished for leaving
without permission.
**[11:12] Amane**
That has nothing to do with us.
**[11:22] Amane**
Shun Kazanami, won't you
come to England with me?
**[11:28] Amane**
I'm planning to leave this place tomorrow.
**[11:32] Amane**
The instructors are useless
and the students have no sense.
**[11:38] Shun**
Sorry, but I like this place.
**[11:41] Amane**
No!
**[11:41] Amane**
Shun, you could be an amazing jockey.
**[11:49] Shun**
What is an amazing jockey, do you think?
**[11:53] Amane**
What?
**[12:00] Amane**
Amane, somebody's here.
**[12:07] Amane**
That's...
**[12:09] Shun**
Let's go.
**[12:10] Amane**
Oh! Wait!
**[12:14] Sojiro**
Hey, mister.
**[12:15] Man**
Hey, So!
**[12:17] Man**
You want your usual low-calorie
harusame noodle soup?
**[12:20] Hayato**
"So"?
**[12:21] Sojiro**
I'm a regular!
**[12:23] Sojiro**
And, nope! I'm looking for somebody today.
**[12:33] Cashier**
Thank you!
**[12:34] Sojiro**
I asked for you.
**[12:36] Aki**
Do you know everyone in the city?
**[12:40] Sojiro**
We've been here two months.
**[12:42] Sojiro**
Of course I know people.
**[12:46] Yu**
He has such good people skills...

**[12:51] Sojiro**
I'm looking for some friends.
**[12:53] Sojiro**
Two of them, about our age.
**[12:56] Kota**
Would you let us inside?
**[12:57] Man**
You're with the Horse Racing School, right?
**[13:00] Kota**
N-No...
**[13:01] Man**
You can't be out this late!
**[13:06] Sojiro**
That towel! Do you like Mr. Doctor, mister?
**[13:10] Man**
Oh, my daughter gave it to me.
**[13:13] Aki**
Hey, mister...
**[13:15] Sojiro**
Do you want your daughter to say,
"Wow, Dad! I love you!"
**[13:27] Sojiro**
His daughter really liked your video.
**[13:30] Aki**
Yeah, and he was in a good mood too.
**[13:32] Hayato**
He even gave us a flashlight.
**[13:35] Yu**
You guys...
**[13:37] Sojiro**
That thing with the fingers Yu did.
**[13:39] Sojiro**
I'll do that when I win my next race!
**[13:41] Yu**
Don't tease me.
**[13:43] Aki**
Listen to you.
**[13:44] Hayato**
Arimura, do that again.
**[13:47] Yu**
No!
**[13:49] Yu**
Let's look for Shun.
**[13:51] Aki**
Do it again!
**[13:53] Sojiro**
I'll inject my medicine into
your loving heart! Mr. Doctor!

**[14:18] Yu**
I said I didn't want to do it!
**[14:20] Yu**
It's just a reflex! I can't help it!
**[14:20] Hayato**
We're heading back now.
**[14:22] Sojiro**
Someone was chasing you?
**[14:24] Aki**
Don't just leave the dorms!
**[14:25] Aki**
We had an awful time finding you!
**[14:27] Amane**
That's a Japanese rule, right?
**[14:29] Amane**
A British gentleman is always
up for a night picnic.
**[14:32] Aki**
Picnics came from France!
**[14:34] Hayato**
What?
**[14:35] Hayato**
Got it. Slow them down as much as you can.
**[14:38] Hayato**
Do whatever it takes.
**[14:41] Hayato**
The instructor left on patrol.
**[14:43] Hayato**
Ten minutes before we expected!
**[14:53] Yu**
How much time do we have?
**[14:54] Hayato**
About 5 minutes.
**[14:56] Hayato**
We have to get back by then.
**[14:57] Sojiro**
Let's hurry.
**[14:58] Sojiro**
If we run, we can make it.
**[14:59] Amane**
Why? I'll take my time going home.
**[15:03] Amane**
The rules are your problem.
**[15:06] Aki**
What do you mean?
**[15:07] Shun**
Amane's quitting the school.
**[15:10] Amane**
Yes! So punish me, expel me, I don't care.
**[15:14] Aki**
You can't just—
**[15:16] Yu**
You're running away?
**[15:21] Amane**
What do you mean?
**[15:23] Yu**
Amane,
**[15:26] Yu**
you've run from a lot
of countries, haven't you?
**[15:30] Yu**
The way you ride a horse is amazing.
But it's all skill and no spirit.
**[15:37] Yu**
It was shallow. Like all you cared
about was showing off.
**[15:40] Amane**
What?
**[15:42] Yu**
When I was in front of the crowd,
I was dead serious!
**[15:45] Yu**
But you never get serious.
You just run, don't you?
**[15:51] Yu**
I'll tell you what you told me.
**[15:54] Yu**
You're the one playing pretend.
**[16:01] Amane**
You don't know me.
**[16:05] Amane**
You don't know how it feels to ride
a horse you don't want to ride
**[16:08] Amane**
in an unfamiliar country—
**[16:10] Shun**
Yu's right, huh?
**[16:13] Shun**
Your horse wasn't having any fun.
**[16:16] Shun**
You have to be friends
with people and horses!
**[16:21] Hayato**
Shun...
**[16:23] Sojiro**
He never means any harm,
and that's why he's scary.
**[16:27] Nohira**
Okay, all that's left is Class 41.
**[16:42] Nohira**
Stay Gold.
**[16:49] Eri**
What are you doing?
**[16:50] Kota**
I'm playing the voice of Stay Gold,
the horse Nohira rode when he was a jockey.
**[16:56] Eri**
Why would you have that?
**[16:58] Kota**
I have a collection of 350 horse voices!
**[17:02] Eri**
Collectors are crazy...
**[17:04] Hayato**
Two minutes!
**[17:06] Aki**
Full speed ahead!
**[17:07] Hayato**
We're almost there!
**[17:08] Hayato**
Hang in there, instructor!
**[17:10] Eri**
I saw one, instructor!
**[17:12] Eri**
I can't handle those things!
**[17:13] Nohira**
Neither can I!
**[17:14] Eri**
They say if you see one, there's actually 30!
**[17:17] Nohira**
Then I'm definitely not going!
**[17:18] Nohira**
Forget about it and sleep!
**[17:20] Eri**
Instructor!
**[17:27] Eri**
Sorry, it didn't work.
**[17:29] Eri**
Hehe!
**[17:41] Yu**
Hurry!
**[17:43] Aki**
This way!
**[17:46] Amane**
Why are you so serious about this?
**[17:48] Yu**
I don't want to be punished!
**[17:50] Yu**
I want to ride horses!
**[18:01] Kota**
And there's Stay Gold!
**[18:02] Kota**
Japan's Stay Gold has gone
from third place to second!
**[18:05] Kota**
He's closing... he's closing!
**[18:08] Kota**
Two lengths, no,
Stay Gold is one length away!
**[18:10] Nohira**
The 2001 Hong Kong Vase.
**[18:11] Kota**
A half-length! Can Stay Gold do it?
**[18:13] Nohira**
It was a good race.
**[18:14] Kota**
There's the finish!
**[18:40] Aki**
Zzz.
**[18:42] Aki**
Zzz.
**[18:50] Yu**
Amane.
**[18:54] Yu**
See you tomorrow.
**[19:38] Amane**
Woo, you've been following me, haven't you?
**[19:43] Amane**
Let me speak to my father.
**[19:50] Amane**
Dad, please send them home.
**[19:55] Amane**
Don't worry. I won't run anymore.
**[20:00] Amane**
There's someone I'm not losing to this time.
**[20:32] Amane**
The reason I stayed?
**[20:35] Amane**
Two people.
**[20:37] Amane**
There's one who's got potential.
**[20:39] Amane**
And one who
**[20:42] Amane**
I'm gonna make pay.

**[20:49] Aki**
Oh man, I'm sleepy.

I'm glad they didn't find us!
**[21:00] Hayato**
Amane!
**[21:02] Amane**
You're late, wimps!
**[21:05] Aki**
What's gotten into you?
**[21:09] Amane**
Hayato. You're not a bad leader.
**[21:12] Amane**
Learn to be flexible and
it will help your riding.
**[21:15] Amane**
Sojiro, you know how to communicate
with your horse. Build on that.
**[21:20] Amane**
Aki, it's good to have a fighter's spirit.
**[21:22] Amane**
Bring your passion into it
and you'll improve.
**[21:26] Amane**
Shun, you're perfect!
**[21:31] Amane**
You, I'll figure out in the future.
**[21:33] Amane**
And you. Yu Arimura.
**[21:39] Amane**
You've got so little sense you
can't tell you have no sense.
**[21:42] Amane**
I'll make you realize that.
**[21:45] Amane**
Be ready!
**[21:49] Eri**
Hey!
**[21:51] Eri**
What about me?
**[21:58] Aki**
Oh, god!
**[22:00] Eri**
What's wrong?
**[22:01] Hayato**
You okay, Amane?
**[22:03] Aki**
He can't handle girls, huh?

What's wrong? Carsick?
**[02:09] Amane**
Wow! And you're a jockey? Pathetic.
**[02:12] Sojiro**
They say you should push the

No, you drink water upside down.

It's their first trip

**[02:25] Nohira**
It's like a school field trip.

I bet Asahi's getting some rest
now that the dorm's all quiet.
**[02:32] Nohira**
He wasn't happy about being left behind.
**[02:36] Nohira**
But I'm sure he's told
his brother we're coming.

jumping exercises on the last day!
**[04:12] Nohira**
Everybody, come out and
form up when you're ready!
**[04:21] Nohira**
Maki! Hojo! Keep up with the pack!
**[04:24] Takeshi**
Running on the bare dirt trains your legs!
**[04:28] Takeshi**
Follow me!
**[04:32] Aki**
Seriously?
**[04:33] Nohira**
What are you doing? Keep up with him!
**[04:39] Takeshi**
In all things, tenacity in the final
stretch determines the outcome.
**[04:43] Takeshi**
Always try to reach a little further!
**[04:45] Nohira**
Ten more laps!
**[04:47] Nohira**
Amane, no slacking!
**[04:49] Nohira**
Goddammit!
**[04:51] Takeshi**
Competitions are by their nature chaotic.
**[04:54] Takeshi**
You must strive to keep your
mind clear at all times.
**[04:58] Takeshi**
FOCUS!
**[05:03] Hayato**
Oww...
**[05:04] Eri**
We've been doing nothing
but cleaning for days.
**[05:07] Kota**
It feels like we're training to be monks.
**[05:10] Hayato**
You're amazing, Shun.
You can keep up with anything.
**[05:15] Shun**
I've got confidence in my stamina.
**[05:17] Shun**
Though I don't have Amane's core strength.
**[05:19] Amane**
Of course! Of course.
**[05:22] Sojiro**
We've all got something.
**[05:24] Sojiro**
For me, that'd be how popular
I am with the ladies!
**[05:27] Aki**
Lady horses too.
**[05:30] Yu**
*Strengths...*
**[05:33] Yu**
*That feeling...*
**[05:35] Yu**
*that I felt then...*
**[05:37] Yu**
*How do I...?*
**[05:38] Nohira**
Hey, no slacking off!
**[05:40] Nohira**
Or I'll make sure you don't have the
strength to enjoy your relaxation tomorrow!
**[05:45] Nohira**
Fifty laps on the sand!
**[05:53] Sojiro**
Our day off!
**[05:54] Aki**
Time to have fun!
**[05:55] Shun**
The sea!
**[05:56] ---**
Yes!
**[05:56] Kota**
W-Wait!
**[05:59] Tako**
You underestimated the power of youth.
**[06:02] Takeshi**
All things are impermanent...
**[06:04] Shun**
Hooray!
**[06:05] Aki**
Yahoo!
**[06:07] Kota**
Yay!
**[06:08] Yu**
Take this!
**[06:10] Eri**
This is great!
**[06:12] Eri**
It feels like a real summer.
**[06:16] Eri**
He's having fun too.
**[06:19] Sojiro**
You're cute!
**[06:20] Girls**
Aww, come on!
**[06:24] Eri**
Well, we won't be coming back
to the beach for a while.
**[06:29] Eri**
We won't all be together next summer.
**[06:33] Hayato**
Oh, right.
**[06:40] Sojiro**
I got my main target!
**[06:45] Eri**
Sakuraba, you're going to your dad's stable
**[06:48] Eri**
in Ritto for the training center
period next year, right?
**[06:52] Sojiro**
Probably.
**[06:53] Eri**
I thought so. I'm jealous
of how lucky you are.
**[06:58] Sojiro**
What do you mean?
**[07:00] Eri**
You've got solid connections
with horse owners.
**[07:03] Eri**
You don't have to worry about your future.
**[07:04] Eri**
I'm jealous.
**[07:07] Sojiro**
Thanks!
**[07:09] Sojiro**
Oh, there's one!
**[07:11] Sojiro**
Hey, miss!

You want those tickets?

Y-Yeah... I've never been.
**[07:35] Kota**
You've never been to a theme park?
**[07:38] Yu**
I wasn't allowed to go to
places with a lot of people.
**[07:42] Crowd**
Is that Mr. Doctor?
**[07:44] Crowd**
Really?
**[07:46] Crowd**
I've never seen a celebrity before!
**[07:49] Crowd**
He's so cool in person!
**[07:54] Amane**
Oh, poor things!
**[07:57] Shun**
Okay, let's enter the tournament.
**[08:00] Shun**
I've never been to a theme park either.
**[08:06] Shun**
You can do it, Yu!
**[08:08] Amane**
Hey! Hurry up!
**[08:09] Kota**
Nice! Nice work!
**[08:11] Kota**
Hang in there for another 10 seconds!
**[08:13] Sojiro**
At least give me your number...
**[08:14] Girl**
Sorry. Not happening.
**[08:18] Crowd**
They say Yu Otonashi from
Mr. Doctor is there!
**[08:21] Crowd**
They're about to do the piggyback fight!
**[08:26] Announcer**
It's time for the last battle of the
Warabi Beach Multi-Sport Tournament.
**[08:31] Announcer**
First, Team Jockeys, who've made it this
far with their amazing athletic skills!
**[08:37] Amane**
Why is Shun Kazanami on top?
**[08:39] Yu**
Shun, we're counting on you.
**[08:41] Shun**
Don't worry! I know how horses feel!
**[08:45] Sojiro**
We're your horses?
**[08:47] Announcer**
And they're facing off against the
Aoharu Stars, a local high school team!
**[08:54] Announcer**
Begin the final round!
**[09:07] Kota**
Too bad, huh?
**[09:08] Amane**
Bugger!
**[09:10] Shun**
We'll visit that amusement
park another time.
**[09:12] Yu**
Sorry, it's my fault.
**[09:15] Shun**
It's not your fault.
**[09:16] Amane**
No, it's Yu Arimura's fault.
**[09:20] Kota**
Amane.
**[09:23] Amane**
Yu Arimura, you think too much.
**[09:28] Amane**
You think too much and react too slowly.
**[09:31] Amane**
That's why you've got no sense on a horse.
**[09:34] Yu**
Horses have nothing to do with this.
**[09:35] Amane**
No, it's the same.
**[09:37] Amane**
The exact same.
**[09:41] Shun**
Well, who cares?
**[09:42] Shun**
We lost, and we can't change that.
**[09:44] Kota**
It doesn't bother you, Kazanami?
**[09:47] Kota**
I mean...
**[09:49] Kota**
I was wondering.
**[09:51] Kota**
You don't want to win? You're a jockey.
**[09:59] Shun**
Do jockeys want to win?
**[10:04] Aki**
Look at all these fish!
**[10:07] Aki**
I'll grab one, I swear it!
**[10:19] Hayato**
Did you have fun?
**[10:23] Sojiro**
Not today.
**[10:24] Sojiro**
I got turned down by almost everyone.
**[10:27] Hayato**
Well, cheer up.
**[10:30] Sojiro**
Thanks.
**[10:36] Hayato**
Don't worry too much about what Eri said.
**[10:42] Hayato**
About you being lucky.
**[10:45] Sojiro**
I won't. It's the truth, for one thing.
**[10:49] Hayato**
You're really going to your dad's stable?
**[10:53] Sojiro**
Of course! If I ask, Dad'll let me in!
**[10:58] Sojiro**
It's not just your build
or your inborn sense.
**[11:00] Sojiro**
The environment you were
blessed with is a talent too.
**[11:04] Sojiro**
Like how Yu's a former idol,
or how Eri gets attention 'cause she's a girl,
**[11:09] Sojiro**
or how Amane trained overseas.
**[11:12] Sojiro**
Same thing!
**[11:14] Hayato**
Yeah.
**[11:18] Hayato**
Sojiro, you never go against your dad?
**[11:23] Sojiro**
No way!
**[11:24] Sojiro**
I'm a wuss. If Dad says come, I come.
**[11:28] Sojiro**
If Dad says stop, I stop.
**[11:30] Sojiro**
I just do what people tell me.
**[11:34] Sojiro**
I don't do my best. I don't get desperate.
I just live life on easy street.
**[11:42] Sojiro**
What?
**[11:44] Hayato**
For a wuss, you have trouble sharing
when something's bothering you.
**[11:50] Sojiro**
You saw through me, huh?
**[11:52] Hayato**
Well, I am older.
**[11:54] Sojiro**
Just one year, right?
**[11:55] Hayato**
One year's plenty.
**[11:59] Sojiro**
Hayato, if anything's bothering you,
do you want to share it with me?
**[12:05] Hayato**
Sorry, but nothing's bothering me.
**[12:08] Sojiro**
Typical—
**[12:08] Eri**
Sorry! Aki lost his sandals in the water!
**[12:12] Aki**
Waiting for you to piss!
**[12:15] Eri**
Hey, have some decency!
**[12:16] Aki**
Well, it's true!
**[12:17] Hayato**
What a handful.
**[12:18] Eri**
That's why you don't say it!
**[12:18] Sojiro**
Yeah, that's right.
**[12:19] Aki**
I waited a long time. Got stomach
pains? Want some medicine?
**[12:22] Eri**
Shut up!

Eat some veggies!
**[12:50] Shun**
Let's eat!
**[12:52] Eri**
Kazanami, is that your second piece?
**[12:53] Tako**
His awful English became Japanese,
but otherwise, he's the same.
**[12:53] Sojiro**
He's fast!

Hey, that's the piece I was after!

What are you suspecting?
He's a different person.
**[12:59] Sojiro**
Nice work!
**[13:00] Hayato**
The veggies are delicious!
**[13:02] Tako**
I called the school today and they said
**[13:06] Tako**
Instructor Asahi hasn't
been there the whole time!
**[13:08] Nohira**
What are you suspecting? Just a coincidence.
**[13:20] Shun**
Getting enough to eat?
**[13:22] Yu**
Oh, yeah.
**[13:25] Shun**
Shame about the amusement park.
**[13:27] Yu**
Let's all go together someday.
**[13:30] Shun**
Yu, do you think about winning?
**[13:33] Yu**
When I'm racing, yeah.
**[13:36] Yu**
I want to run faster.
**[13:39] Yu**
I want to get better.
**[13:41] Yu**
But that's all a distraction, isn't it?
**[13:43] Shun**
Distraction?
**[13:45] Yu**
You said I think too much once, right?
**[13:50] Yu**
Amane said the same thing over lunch.
**[13:53] Shun**
Did I?
**[13:57] Yu**
It's hard not to think.
**[14:00] Yu**
I want to have fun riding, like you do.
**[14:03] Shun**
The horses have fun, so I do too.
**[14:07] Shun**
But... is that enough?
**[14:16] Takeshi**
You have a handsome back.
**[14:18] Takeshi**
Many jockeys will find
themselves staring at it,
**[14:23] Takeshi**
but you don't have the
face of a gambler yet.
**[14:27] Takeshi**
Only when time passes, and you throw
away your dreams of being a jockey,
**[14:31] Takeshi**
will you become true jockeys.
**[14:41] Eri**
Hayato, play some music.
**[14:44] Hayato**
Sure.
**[14:47] Hayato**
Aki, can I borrow your CD player?
**[14:50] Aki**
Sure.
**[15:00] Aki**
S-Sorry.
**[15:02] Aki**
It's out of battery.
**[15:04] Aki**
Use somebody else's...
**[15:11] Kota**
No more!
**[15:14] Hayato**
What's wrong, Kota?
**[15:15] Kota**
I can't take it anymore!
**[15:17] Kota**
Why does everybody
make me do everything?
**[15:21] Kota**
Why don't you clean up?
**[15:23] Kota**
Why don't you help?
**[15:25] Kota**
I'm not your servant!
**[15:29] Sojiro**
Sorry, Kota.
**[15:30] Aki**
We'll help too.
**[15:32] Shun**
Let's all clean up together.
**[15:33] Yu**
Yeah.
**[15:34] Eri**
Kota, you can sit down.
**[15:37] Amane**
Why?
**[15:38] Amane**
I refuse.
**[15:40] Amane**
He was doing it when no one asked
him to because he wanted to, right?
**[15:47] Eri**
You shut up.
**[15:52] Amane**
Oh, god!
**[16:00] Tako**
Run!
**[16:01] Nohira**
What are you doing? Put that out!
**[16:03] Hayato**
Water! Water!
**[16:04] Takeshi**
All things are impermanent...
**[16:06] Students**
Watch out! Run!
**[16:24] Amane**
No! No! No!
**[16:36] Yu**
Aki.
**[16:41] Yu**
Aki.
**[16:43] Aki**
What?
**[16:45] Yu**
That...
**[16:47] Aki**
That what?
**[16:50] Yu**
That song. It was Mr. Doctor's
"Walk For Dream," wasn't it?
**[16:58] Yu**
You could only get that CD
if you were in the fan club.
**[17:02] Yu**
And it was rare. Limited time only.
**[17:05] Aki**
I don't care!
**[17:10] Aki**
Yeah, that's right!
**[17:11] Aki**
I've always been a fan of yours!
**[17:13] Aki**
I was in the damn Mr. Doctor fan club!
**[17:15] Aki**
Yu Otonashi's my favorite singer!
**[17:24] Aki**
I loved your dancing.
**[17:27] Aki**
Looking at how much fun you were
having on stage made me happy too.
**[17:32] Aki**
Your moves were so cool,
like you were flying!
**[17:36] Yu**
Why didn't you say anything?
**[17:38] Yu**
You didn't want to make
things awkward for me?
**[17:41] Aki**
No, that's not it.
**[17:46] Aki**
It made me mad.
**[17:48] Aki**
Your press conference.
**[17:51] Yu**
No!
**[17:52] Yu**
I've found something I want
to do with all my heart.
**[17:58] Aki**
The Yu Otonashi of Mr. Doctor that I loved...
**[18:01] Aki**
was doing something he didn't want to do.
**[18:05] Yu**
No!
**[18:06] Aki**
I understand now.
**[18:08] Aki**
You've put a lot of thought
into becoming a jockey.
**[18:13] Aki**
I'm the one who was
living in a fantasy.
**[18:19] Aki**
When I listened to that song,
"Walk For Dream," I remembered...
**[18:24] Aki**
Things aren't like they were
when you were someone I admired.
**[18:28] Aki**
You're just a classmate now.
Just a rival.
**[18:33] Yu**
Aki...
**[18:35] Aki**
Arimura.
**[18:37] Aki**
I'm not losing tomorrow's competition!

**[19:17] Aki**
I loved your dancing!
**[19:19] Aki**
Your moves were so cool,
like you were flying!
**[19:22] Yu**
*Dancing... moves...*
**[19:39] Yu**
*It was just like this!*
**[19:46] Shun**
Wow, Yu!
**[19:48] Kota**
That was beautiful, Arimura!
**[19:52] Amane**
Better than I expected.
**[20:01] Yu**
*The rhythm came together...*
**[20:04] Yu**
*This is my...*

*I refuse to lose!*
**[20:40] Kota**
The black assassin of Kanto...
**[20:54] Tako**
They're out cold.
**[20:55] Nohira**
The exhaustion caught up with them.
**[21:01] Nohira**
You know, Instructor Asahi's little
brother didn't come to see us off.
**[21:08] Tako**
Nohira, I figured out what Asahi was after.
**[21:13] Nohira**
After?
**[21:14] Tako**
He was pretending to be his own twin
so he could see everybody up close.
**[21:20] Tako**
He wanted to teach them from a different
perspective than an instructor's.
**[21:26] Nohira**
Why?
**[21:28] Tako**
I'm sure he had a very
well thought-out reason!
**[21:33] Nohira**
A well thought-out reason?

I forgot something.
**[00:56] Nohira**
Do you understand how serious this is?
**[00:58] Nohira**
You're at the limit of the allowed weight.
**[01:03] Hayato**
I'm aware.
**[01:04] Nohira**
Your body's growing,
making you unable to maintain your weight.
**[01:09] Nohira**
I hear you've barely been eating lately.
**[01:14] Hayato**
What are you trying to say?
**[01:16] Nohira**
The training's only going to
get harder. Your body won't—
**[01:22] Hayato**
Is that...
**[01:25] Hayato**
Is that your opinion as an instructor?
**[01:28] Hayato**

**[03:14] Asahi**
Everyone, we'll be starting
monkey riding lessons today!
**[03:18] Aki**
Yes!
**[03:19] Eri**
Finally! Monkey riding!
**[03:21] Nohira**
Don't get so excited!
**[03:23] Nohira**
Class 39 has a public mock race in two months.
**[03:27] Nohira**
You're going to be doing a jump demonstration
**[03:29] Nohira**
and a monkey demonstration
with wooden horses.
**[03:31] Nohira**
Your score there will be a crucial
factor in determining if you
**[03:35] Nohira**
go on to the next stage of the curriculum.
**[03:37] Asahi**
You'll be showing off all you've
learned over the past six months.
**[03:41] Asahi**
I want you to show me everything
you've got. Don't disappoint me.
**[03:47] ---**
Yes!
**[03:49] Shun**
This'll be fun!
**[03:50] Yu**
Yeah, I've been looking
forward to the monkey!
**[03:52] Yu**
We'll finally look as
awesome as real jockeys!
**[03:58] Yu**
Not cool at all...
**[04:01] Asahi**
Drop your hips and keep that pose!
**[04:04] Sojiro**
This is...
**[04:06] Kota**
Rough.
**[04:08] Eri**
My legs can't take this...
**[04:10] Amane**
Oh, god! This is hard! Crazy Japanese!
**[04:14] Nohira**
Monkey riding uses a short stirrup
and requires you to sit up off the saddle.
**[04:19] Nohira**
It's a basic stance for maximizing speed.
**[04:22] Nohira**
Maintaining it requires knowing the proper
position and keeping your balance.
**[04:26] Nohira**
You need strong lower body muscles.
**[04:29] Nohira**
It'll put a lot of stress on your body.
**[04:43] Nohira**
You okay?
**[04:47] Hayato**
I'm fine.
**[05:04] Yu**
I can't move...
**[05:07] Aki**
My calves are a mess.
**[05:09] Aki**
It's totally different from all
the training we've done before.
**[05:12] Eri**
My muscles are gonna burn tomorrow.
**[05:15] Eri**
I don't want to eat.
**[05:19] Shun**
This is great!
**[05:20] Yu**
Shun, you've got so much endurance...
**[05:23] Shun**
You kept your balance too, though, huh?
**[05:26] Aki**
You guys were both good!
**[05:28] Aki**
How did you pick it up so fast?
**[05:39] Kota**
Hey, I had a great idea for how to
practice when we're monkey riding!
**[05:44] Eri**
What?
**[05:45] Amane**
A new lesson?
**[05:46] Aki**
Tell me!
**[05:47] Aki**
I'll do anything to be able
to do the monkey!
**[05:51] Aki**
Right, Hayato?
**[05:53] Hayato**
There are no shortcuts to getting better.
**[05:58] Aki**
Again.
**[05:59] Shun**
Again?
**[06:01] Kota**
Hosho's barely been eating lately.
**[06:05] Eri**
He's worried about his weight, I think.
**[06:08] Eri**
He was over the limit a while ago.
**[06:11] Aki**
Well, it happens.
**[06:13] Aki**
A little dieting and he'll be back on track.
**[06:37] Kota**
DOSUKOI!
**[06:41] Amane**
Oh! Sumo?
**[06:43] Aki**
What are you doing?
**[06:46] Kota**
Check this out!
**[06:49] Sojiro**
That stance...
**[06:51] Kota**
Drop your hips and lift up
your upper body to stabilize.
**[06:54] Kota**
It's like the monkey, right?
**[07:00] All**
Dosukoi! Dosukoi! Dosukoi!
**[07:03] Asahi**
What?
**[07:05] Yu**
We started doing the monkey today.
**[07:08] Yu**
It's really rough!
**[07:13] Yu**
But I think I'm starting to get it!
**[07:16] Yu**
I can't wait to monkey ride on you!
**[07:23] Yu**
I want to share that feeling with you.
**[07:25] Shun**
I can't wait!
**[07:29] Shun**
That's what Rice Kate's saying!
**[07:33] Yu**
Stop being silly.
**[07:35] Shun**
Hey, Yu, what did you mean by "feeling"?
**[07:38] Kosei**
Masaki, this is the spot, right?
***SIGN*** Dormitory
**[07:40] Masaki**
Yeah, I think so.
**[07:43] Kosei**
Hello? Is anyone here?
**[07:48] Kota**
Coming!
***SIGN*** Visitor
**[07:54] Kota**
Are you visitors?
**[07:56] Aki**
Sorry! Someone should be by soon!
**[07:59] Aki**
Just wait somewhere and...
**[08:11] Shun**
The horse's rhythm, huh?
**[08:13] Yu**
It's like your heart becomes one with
the rhythm of the horse's hooves.
**[08:18] Yu**
Do you understand?
**[08:20] Shun**
For me, it's more like
I can hear their voices.
**[08:24] Shun**
They say, "The wind feels good!" or
"I want to stop!" or "I'm hungry!"
**[08:30] Yu**
So you become one with
them in your heart, huh?
**[08:33] Shun**
Maioka Kyoshin didn't want to run today.
**[08:38] Shun**
I'm sorry.
**[08:42] Kota**
Arimura!
**[08:46] Aki**
H-H-...
**[08:49] Aki**
Here you go.
**[08:50] Kosei**
Thanks!
**[08:52] Masaki**
Don't worry about us.
**[08:53] Aki**
Wel-Welcome... Y-Y-You're!
**[08:56] Masaki**
Do you know us?
**[08:58] Aki**
I'm a member of the Mr. Doctor Fan Club,
Patient Number 77623!
**[09:03] Aki**
Aki Kyoriki!
**[09:05] Kosei**
We don't have many male fans.
**[09:07] Masaki**
Who's your favorite?
**[09:09] Aki**
Before, it was Yu!
**[09:11] Aki**
Now, it's everybody!
**[09:13] Aki**
But as a classmate, I'm making sure not
to behave inappropriately around Yu!
**[09:18] Masaki**
I see. So, have you seen
what Yu's really like?
**[09:24] Aki**
Really like?
**[09:26] Masaki**
He's actually a huge sadist.
**[09:28] Kosei**
Yeah. He made us and the rest
of the staff call him King Yu.
**[09:34] Aki**
That's surprising!
**[09:37] Kosei**
Oh, it's King Yu!
**[09:39] Masaki**
Hey there.
**[09:45] Yu**
Kosei! Masaki!

**[09:57] Kota**
Amane, what is this?
**[10:00] Sojiro**
Is this...?
**[10:02] Amane**
Yes! Surfing-style riding!
**[10:06] Eri**
I've heard that timing and balance
are important for monkey riding, but...
**[10:11] Aki**
We're not really surfing, though.
**[10:13] Amane**
The wave's here. Turn!
**[10:16] All**
Turn!
**[10:18] Amane**
Good!
**[10:20] Nohira**
What are they doing?
**[10:27] Masaki**
I see.
**[10:28] Masaki**
So this is where you spend your days, huh?
**[10:32] Kosei**
You're good at that.
**[10:34] Yu**
Thanks. I do it every day.
**[10:39] Yu**
Um, why are you—
**[10:42] Masaki**
Why are we here?
**[10:44] Masaki**
We wanted to see the place you live.
**[10:46] Masaki**
I'm glad you're doing well.
**[10:50] Yu**
I see.
**[10:53] Masaki**
It was a mess for a while,
but it's calmed down.
**[10:56] Masaki**
We're doing better than we
expected with just the two of us.
**[10:59] Masaki**
People like our regular program.
**[11:01] Masaki**
And we got a new commercial, too.
**[11:03] Kosei**
That's right! We both get more
dialogue now you're gone!
**[11:11] Yu**
Kosei, Masaki...
**[11:14] Yu**
I know it's too late, and nothing
I can say will really make up for it,
**[11:19] Yu**
but I'm sorry for being so selfish!
**[11:24] Yu**
You were right to be angry, Kosei.
**[11:27] Yu**
I know I caused so many
problems for both of you.
**[11:31] Yu**
Why? Why are you quitting now?
**[11:34] Yu**
Stop it! Yu thought a lot about this!
**[11:41] Yu**
I thought I'd never see you two again.
**[11:43] Yu**
That I didn't have the right to.
**[11:46] Yu**
So...
**[11:47] Yu**
I'm happy you came. Thank you!
**[11:51] Kosei**
Come on, we're friends. Don't bow like that.
**[11:54] Masaki**
It's fine, Yu.
**[11:56] Masaki**
We know how serious you are about this.
**[11:58] Masaki**
You weren't playing when you
came here. Ms. Saionji told us.
**[12:02] Yu**
The company president did?
**[12:03] Kosei**
Yeah, and she told us the plan, too.
**[12:07] Yu**
Plan?
**[12:09] Masaki**
We had you all wrong.
**[12:11] Masaki**
Of course you'd never quit being an idol.
**[12:15] Masaki**
Let's go back to making Mr. Doctor a success!
**[12:17] Kosei**
Yeah! Yu Otonashi returns!
**[12:26] Aki**
Mr. Doctor was so cool!
**[12:30] Kota**
I'm glad you met your heroes, Aki.
**[12:32] Eri**
I didn't realize you were such a fan.
**[12:34] Eri**
I wish I could've seen them.
**[12:42] Sojiro**
Hayato...
**[12:43] Aki**
He looks pretty stressed.
**[12:47] Eri**
Arimura! Did Mr. Doctor leave?
**[12:56] Eri**
What's his problem?
**[12:57] Kota**
Is he mad about something?
**[12:59] Amane**
Did he go back to being no-sense?
**[13:02] Aki**
King Yu the Sadist!

**[13:35] Sojiro**
Should you be working this
hard on your day off?
**[13:40] Hayato**
Weren't you on a date?
**[13:41] Sojiro**
She stood me up.
**[13:43] Sojiro**
Can you believe she stood
up the future #1 jockey?
**[13:48] Sojiro**
You're still doing that?
**[13:50] Sojiro**
You look tired.
**[13:55] Sojiro**
Hey, Hayato.
**[14:03] Sojiro**
A friend of mine won't open up to me.
**[14:07] Sojiro**
He's locked himself inside his shell
and is trying to solve his problems alone.
**[14:12] Sojiro**
How do I get him to relax and open up?
**[14:21] Hayato**
I'm sure...
**[14:23] Hayato**
I'm sure he doesn't want to
tell anybody what's going on.
**[14:27] Hayato**
Telling people wouldn't help him.
**[14:33] Hayato**
He'd just feel miserable.
**[14:35] Sojiro**
Is that why you're refusing to let
Instructor Nohira, your own father, help you?
**[14:41] Sojiro**
I've had differences with my dad, too.
**[14:44] Sojiro**
Tell me what's on your mind.
**[14:49] Hayato**
I didn't tell anyone because I didn't
want you to make assumptions about me.
**[14:53] Hayato**
My parents are already divorced.
**[14:56] Sojiro**
Is that really all?
**[15:00] Sojiro**
Your dad's not worried about
what people will think.
**[15:03] Sojiro**
He's worried about you!
**[15:21] Saionji**
Thank you for coming all the way
to see me on your day off, Yu.
**[15:26] Yu**
Kosei and Masaki came to the school.
**[15:28] Saionji**
I see.
**[15:30] Saionji**
It must've been nice to talk to them again.
**[15:33] Yu**
What's this "plan" for me coming back?
**[15:36] Yu**
They told me you're trying to bring
me back as some kind of idol jockey.
**[15:43] Yu**
That wasn't the deal!
**[15:45] Yu**
You weren't supposed to interfere
with me being a jockey!
**[15:48] Yu**
You were supposed to shoot the
documentary of my life at school,
**[15:50] Yu**
and then I'd never hear about
Mr. Doctor's lost sales again!
**[15:54] Saionji**
Did I ever make a promise like that?
**[15:57] Yu**
What?
**[15:59] Saionji**
The documentary was my idea, yes.
**[16:03] Saionji**
But the goal was to bring
you back as an idol.
**[16:08] Saionji**
I can't just let all your talent go to waste!
**[16:12] Saionji**
You have a special talent as an idol.
**[16:15] Saionji**
Do you know what that is?
**[16:19] Saionji**
The fact that nobody can forget you.
**[16:23] Saionji**
You've been gone from the
entertainment world for months,
**[16:26] Saionji**
but constantly remained in the public eye.
**[16:29] Saionji**
Am I wrong?
**[16:31] Saionji**
If you want to be a celebrity,
you don't need to be universally loved.
**[16:35] Saionji**
You *do* need to be universally remembered.
**[16:39] Saionji**
You have that talent.
**[16:45] Saionji**
And you have no talent as a jockey!
**[16:48] Yu**
That's not true!
**[16:50] Yu**
I'm doing a lot better!
**[16:53] Yu**
I'm going to be a jockey!
**[16:56] Saionji**
Can you?
**[17:08] Yu**
This is...
**[17:10] Yu**
This footage is going to be
uploaded to our company's channel
**[17:14] Yu**
as a serial documentary.
**[17:17] Yu**
When that happens, the world's
going to start wondering
**[17:20] Yu**
how you got into the Horse Riding School,
considering your lack of talent.
**[17:24] Tako**
Ma'am!
**[17:25] Saionji**
And then they'll realize
Yu Otonashi belongs on the stage!
**[17:34] Saionji**
Yu, think about this again.
**[17:37] Saionji**
You can be a jockey with
no one cheering for him,
**[17:39] Saionji**
or an idol who will never be forgotten.
**[17:48] Saionji**
People belong not where they want to be,
**[17:51] Saionji**
but where others want them to be!
**[18:09] Hayato**
Can I use that?
**[18:13] Yu**
Sure, sorry.
**[18:16] Hayato**
Sorry. I want to get the movements
down before the exercise tomorrow.
**[18:21] Yu**
Yeah, it's fine.
**[18:35] Yu**
Hayato.
**[18:37] Yu**
I... I went to my old agency today.
**[18:41] Hayato**
From when you were an idol?
**[18:43] Yu**
I went and talked to the CEO
for the first time in a while.
**[18:46] Yu**
What she said really hit me hard.
**[18:48] Hayato**
Hit you hard?
**[18:50] Yu**
She wants me to go back to being an idol.
**[18:54] Yu**
She's putting the documentary
Tako made up online
**[18:57] Yu**
to make everybody think I'm not
cut out to be a jockey, she says.
**[19:00] Hayato**
Really?
**[19:01] Yu**
She was always like that.
**[19:03] Yu**
She doesn't care what I want.
**[19:06] Hayato**
That's not...
**[19:08] Yu**
Whenever I want to do something,
she gets in my way.
**[19:11] Yu**
If I just keep this up, I can be a jockey!
**[19:14] Hayato**
Just keep this up...
**[19:15] Yu**
I'm sick of it.
**[19:17] Yu**
I wanted to be able to focus
100% on becoming a jockey.
**[19:21] Yu**
If anything, being a former
idol is a handicap.
**[19:26] Yu**
She wants me to go back
where everyone wants me to be.
**[19:28] Yu**
But I want to stay where *I* want to be!
**[19:33] Yu**
What do I do?
**[19:37] Hayato**
Don't be such a spoiled brat.
**[19:39] Hayato**
You call that a handicap?
You think that even qualifies?
**[19:44] Yu**
Hayato?
**[19:45] Hayato**
No matter what anybody says,
you still get to make the choice.
**[19:48] Hayato**
Make the choice and you
can have what you want!
**[19:52] Hayato**
You don't understand how wonderful it
is to be able to choose your own future!
**[19:59] Hayato**
Do you understand how it feels to lose
all access to the place you want to be?
**[20:04] Hayato**
If you don't... then give me your body!
**[20:13] Yu**
I'm sorry!
**[20:14] Hayato**
Don't apologize!

Understood.

Um, I'm sorry about Arimura...
**[02:48] Saionji**
Leave.
**[03:03] Saionji**
Yu, stop.
**[03:05] Yu**
But I have my monkey riding test
and jumping exercises in a month.
**[03:11] Yu**
I need to get better by then...
**[03:15] Yu**
Oh, right! Is Rice Kate okay?
**[03:17] Tako**
Just fine.
**[03:19] Tako**
They're back at the stable and doing okay.
**[03:21] Yu**
Good...
**[03:23] Yu**
How about Hayato?
**[03:24] Saionji**
Worry about yourself, not others.
**[03:29] Saionji**
Doctor.
**[03:30] Doctor**
Arimura, about your injuries...
**[03:34] Doctor**
If you put stress on your muscles before
they recover, you could damage them.
**[03:39] Doctor**
It's important to give yourself
enough time to recover.
**[03:43] Yu**
Time?
**[03:45] Yu**
Do you mean...?
**[03:46] Doctor**
A month likely won't be enough.
***SIGN*** The Horse Racing School
**[03:53] Asahi**
We're told Arimura suffered no major
damage to his bones or organs.
**[03:59] Asahi**
But he suffered a muscle tear
that has weakened his right hand.
**[04:04] Asahi**
He'll need to rest for a while.
**[04:06] Kota**
But we have our test and
jumping exercises in a month.
**[04:10] Eri**
Will he make it?
**[04:11] Aki**
Well, Instructor?
**[04:14] Asahi**
We won't be changing the
schedule for the exercises.
**[04:18] Asahi**
If he doesn't make it in time...
**[04:20] Amane**
Repeat a year...
**[04:22] Amane**
He'll be held back?
**[04:24] Eri**
Yeah.
**[04:29] Sojiro**
What about Hayato, sir?
**[04:30] Asahi**
Hosho's not badly hurt.
**[04:33] Asahi**
Instructor Nohira is with him. Don't worry.
**[04:36] Kota**
Um, is it true that
Instructor Nohira is his father?
**[04:41] Asahi**
Yes.
**[04:43] Asahi**
Hosho asked that you not be told.
**[04:46] Asahi**
He wanted to be seen as a
fellow student. An equal.
**[04:50] Aki**
That sounds like him.
**[04:53] Eri**
But doesn't that make
Instructor Nohira kind of cold?
**[04:56] Sojiro**
That's how it is for jockeys.
**[04:58] Sojiro**
It's difficult to know how to act around
a son who's in the same business as you.
**[05:06] Hayato**
It's all my fault.
**[05:09] Nohira**
Don't blame yourself.
**[05:11] Nohira**
It was an accident.
**[05:13] Hayato**
But if I hadn't lost control...
**[05:17] Hayato**
If I hadn't forced myself to lose weight...
**[05:19] Hayato**
If I'd made my choice sooner...
**[05:23] Hayato**
If Arimura never comes back...
**[05:27] Nohira**
For now, think about yourself.
**[05:32] Nohira**
And what you can do now.
**[05:38] Kota**
Think it'll be hard for Arimura?
**[05:41] Aki**
It'll be hard without grip strength.
**[05:43] Aki**
That's the core of monkey riding.
**[05:45] Eri**
I know it's bad because
Asahi wasn't talking funny.
**[05:50] Aki**
But one injury doesn't mean
the end of everything.
**[05:54] Kota**
Yeah. The famous jockey Kuji came
back from a bad injury, after all.
**[06:01] Sojiro**
Hmm... Some jockeys have
come back from bad injuries.
**[06:06] Sojiro**
But only if they're very good to begin with,
**[06:08] Sojiro**
and they usually don't race
as much as they did before.
**[06:12] Aki**
Shun, you've been quiet.
Don't you have any thoughts?
**[06:17] Aki**
You don't seem too upset to me.
**[06:19] Eri**
Stop it.
**[06:21] Amane**
What you're saying is pure nonsense.
**[06:24] Aki**
What?!
**[06:25] Amane**
Yu Arimura was injured. No matter
whose fault it was or why it happened,
**[06:29] Amane**
that's a fact.
**[06:31] Amane**
That doesn't change just
because he's your friend.
**[06:34] Amane**
That's what it means to be a jockey, right?
**[06:43] Amane**
Who cares if he's held back a year?
**[06:47] Amane**
Just wait a year and there's no problem.
**[06:50] Aki**
Yeah, but...
**[06:58] Aki**
Hayato!
**[07:03] Asahi**
I see. No visitors, huh?
**[07:06] Nohira**
I'm told a month likely won't
be enough for recovery.
**[07:09] Nohira**
I hope he makes it in time for his test...
**[07:13] Nohira**
But I'm worried.
**[07:15] Nohira**
Is it just Arimura you're worried about?
**[07:21] Nohira**
Why don't you just admit how you really feel?
**[07:30] Shun**
Are you lonely, Rice Kate?
**[07:33] Shun**
I see... You miss Yu too, don't you?
**[07:40] Sojiro**
Is he going to come back if you quit?
**[07:44] Hayato**
You wouldn't understand.
**[07:47] Sojiro**
Hayato!
**[07:50] Hayato**
I can't take this anymore!
**[07:53] Shun**
Why not?
**[07:56] Hayato**
I know better than anybody that
my weight's not going down!
**[08:02] Hayato**
But I kept struggling like an
idiot and got Arimura hurt!
**[08:08] Hayato**
I even put the horse in danger!
**[08:11] Sojiro**
That's not true.
**[08:14] Hayato**
I don't have the right
to ride a horse anymore.
**[08:19] Shun**
But he wants you to ride him again.
**[08:26] Shun**
Even if we get sad or quit,
in the end, the horses don't care.
**[08:32] Shun**
If there was such a thing as
the right to ride a horse,
**[08:38] Shun**
you'd only lose it when the horse
won't let you ride it, I think!
**[08:56] Voices**
*I think it's over for Yu Otonashi.*
**[08:58] Voices**
*He never really was 100% dedicated to this.*
**[09:01] Voices**
*It's his own damn fault.*
**[09:02] Voices**
*Go back to Mr. Doctor!*
**[09:21] Tako**
Yu...
**[09:26] Yu**
Tako, people can be harsh, can't they?
**[09:31] Tako**
Well...
**[09:33] Yu**
I want to get back in the saddle!
**[09:36] Yu**
I need to do my best at my physical therapy.
**[09:39] Yu**
Think I can start next week?
**[09:42] Yu**
I caused problems for everybody.
**[09:43] Yu**
I need to get back to 100%... no, 120%.
**[09:47] Saionji**
I'm never letting you on a horse again.
**[09:50] Tako**
Ma'am...
**[09:56] Saionji**
I sent the paperwork to withdraw
you from the Horse Riding School.

That's ridiculous!
**[10:17] Sojiro**
Is that true, Instructor?
**[10:20] Asahi**
The paperwork for his withdrawal
came from his agency.
**[10:24] Asahi**
Instructor Nohira's sitting on it right now.
**[10:27] Eri**
Don't let it go through.
**[10:29] Asahi**
With no way of knowing
how he personally feels,
**[10:31] Asahi**
we can't ignore a request
from his guardians.
**[10:34] Asahi**
They just say that Arimura
was shocked by his injury
**[10:37] Asahi**
and lost his motivation to become a jockey.
**[10:41] Shun**
Um, Instructor, I think that's a lie!
**[10:44] Aki**
Yeah! It's not true!
**[10:46] Amane**
An overly complex lie.
That's just like the Japanese!
**[10:48] Kota**
What does that mean?
**[10:49] Sojiro**
It means the agency sent
it without asking him.
**[10:51] Asahi**
I want to believe the same thing.
**[10:52] Asahi**
But for now, everyone, wait.
**[11:25] Yu**
No! Why?
**[11:29] Saionji**
Being a jockey can get you
killed. It's dangerous!
**[11:36] Saionji**
With your injured hand, can
you succeed as a jockey?
**[11:41] Yu**
I...
**[11:43] Yu**
If I get better...
**[11:45] Saionji**
And if you don't?
**[11:47] Saionji**
When you quit Mr. Doctor, you said you'd
pay the penalty clause in the contract.
**[11:53] Saionji**
How do you intend to do that?
**[12:00] Saionji**
Yu.
**[12:05] Saionji**
Be realistic.
**[12:07] Saionji**
Being an idol is your only path.
**[12:41] Clerk**
Take care.
**[12:56] Kuji**
Hey.
**[13:07] Yu**
Kuji...
**[13:10] Tako**
Yes. Yes.
**[13:11] Tako**
S-Sorry... Thank you.
**[13:15] Kuji**

Sorry for being an ass at the derby.
**[13:27] Kuji**
So I heard you're an idol, huh?
**[13:29] Kuji**
I should've gotten an autograph!
**[13:36] Kuji**
So? When are you leaving?
**[13:41] Yu**
I'm quitting.
**[13:44] Kuji**
It's that bad?
**[13:47] Yu**
No.
**[13:50] Kuji**
I see.
**[13:52] Kuji**
Bye then, idol.
**[13:55] Kuji**
I'm glad to have one less rival.
**[13:58] Kuji**
You're not cut out for this.
**[14:07] Yu**
Kuji!
**[14:10] Yu**
Why didn't you push forward
at the derby this year?
**[14:16] Yu**
On that last straight, when there was
that gap in front of Moa Wisteria.
**[14:20] Yu**
You were slow to push through it!
**[14:22] Yu**
I think you should've pushed harder!
**[14:30] Kuji**
There's no point in telling someone
who's not going to be a jockey.
**[14:38] Kuji**
I didn't think anybody would see that...
**[14:44] Yu**
Damn it!
**[14:58] Aki**
I just can't accept it!
**[15:00] Aki**
Why does Arimura have to quit?
**[15:02] Amane**
It was probably Miss Devil Frog
who sent the paperwork in.
**[15:07] Sojiro**
I'm sure of it.
**[15:08] Sojiro**
She's the one who had the
documentary of him made.
**[15:12] Eri**
So she never wanted him to be
a jockey in the first place?
**[15:16] Kota**
That's awful...
**[15:18] Hayato**
But it's true that he's badly injured.
**[15:22] Aki**
Arimura would never give up, would he?
**[15:28] Shun**
Let's go find out, then!
**[15:44] Nohira**
You've made your choice?
**[15:46] Hayato**
Yes. But give me just a little more time.
**[15:52] Nohira**
Fine. Do what you want.
**[15:55] Hayato**
And one more thing.
**[15:57] Hayato**
It's about Arimura.
**[16:08] Aki**
'Scuse me! We're here to
see Arimura in Room 402!
**[16:19] Tako**
I'll be right back.
**[16:34] Shun**
Hey there, Yu!
**[16:38] Yu**
Shun!
**[16:40] Tako**
You can't fool me with those disguises!
**[16:44] Tako**
The CEO won't let anybody see Yu. Even you.
**[16:48] Aki**
Just for a moment! Please!
**[16:50] Sojiro**
There's nothing you can do, Tako?
**[16:54] Tako**
Sorry.
**[16:55] Sojiro**
Then take a message, huh?
**[16:58] Tako**
I'm afraid I can't.
**[17:01] Aki**
Wait!
**[17:03] Aki**
Right!
**[17:04] Aki**
I wanted to ask you something!
**[17:06] Sojiro**
Oh! Me, too!
**[17:08] Sojiro**
I want to meet a female
newscaster! Any tips?
**[17:08] Aki**
What's your favorite animal?
Mine's dogs! I've got one!
**[17:11] Sojiro**
Tako!
**[17:13] Aki**
Wait!
**[17:17] Shun**
Hayato got Instructor Nohira
to let us leave the grounds.
**[17:21] Yu**
But how...?
**[17:23] Shun**
It'll take a much bigger
wall than this to stop me!
**[17:25] Shun**
It's a lot easier to climb
than the cliffs on the island.
**[17:30] Yu**
You can't just—
**[17:32] Shun**
I'm glad.
**[17:33] Shun**
I thought you might be really hurt.
Glad you're doing better than I thought.
**[17:38] Yu**
I'm not.
**[17:41] Yu**
I'm finished.
**[17:43] Shun**
Don't be silly!
**[17:45] Shun**
Work hard and it'll come back!
**[17:47] Yu**
I'm finished!
**[17:54] Yu**
No matter how hard I work,
I can't be a jockey.
**[17:58] Yu**
I can't ride Rice Kate...
**[18:03] Yu**
You wouldn't understand.
**[18:06] Yu**
You're always optimistic. You can
tell what the horses are feeling...
**[18:19] Yu**
I've seen you up close...
and I can't be like you!
**[18:26] Shun**
But you like it, don't you?
**[18:28] Yu**
What?
**[18:31] Shun**
You like riding horses, don't you?
**[18:46] Yu**
Of course! More than almost anything!
**[18:52] Shun**
Yeah, I know!
**[19:22] Aki**
You're late.
**[19:24] Sojiro**
You get it to him?
**[19:26] Shun**
Yup.
**[19:28] Shun**
It'll be okay.
**[19:32] Aki**
Can you hear me?
**[19:35] Yu**
Aki!
**[19:36] Aki**
You all ready?
**[19:37] Eri**
Okay.
**[19:38] Amane**
Let's make this quick.
**[19:39] Aki**
I'll start.
**[19:41] Aki**
Hey! Arimura!
**[19:42] Aki**
The Yu of Mr. Doctor that
I loved would never give up!
**[19:45] Aki**
Show me you've got guts!
**[19:46] Kota**
Arimura, hang in there!
**[19:48] Eri**
If you quit, I'll be the one who gets
the most attention. You okay with that?
**[19:53] Sojiro**
You haven't told me how to get in
touch with a female newscaster.
**[19:58] Amane**
Will I never see Yu Arimura's pathetic
attempts to ride a horse again?
**[20:02] Amane**
Oh, never mind.
**[20:04] Hayato**
Arimura.
**[20:05] Yu**
Hayato.
**[20:09] Hayato**
Arimura, I'm so sorry.
**[20:12] Hayato**
I know nothing I can say will make up for it,
**[20:15] Hayato**
and I can't bear to face you directly.
**[20:17] Hayato**
But Arimura, don't give up! Please!
**[20:22] Shun**
Yu, listen!
**[20:26] Shun**
You ready, Hayato?
**[20:28] Hayato**
Yeah.
**[20:31] Shun**
Let's go, Rice Kate!
**[20:46] Shun**
Yu, you felt it, right?
**[20:49] Shun**
Let's become one, once more!
**[21:12] Tako**
Yu!
**[21:31] Yu**
I wanted to feel the wind.
**[21:34] Tako**
O-Oh.

The Day We Leave the Nest
**[02:09] Asahi**
Everyone!
**[02:10] Asahi**
It's the day you've been waiting for!
The third-year students' race!
**[02:14] Asahi**
I want you to show me
everything you've studied!
**[02:20] Nohira**
Maintain your composure at all times.
**[02:21] Nohira**
Do it just like you practiced.
**[02:23] ---**
Yes!
**[02:28] Man**
It's Mr. Doctor!
**[02:31] Man**
CEO Saionji is there, too!
**[02:35] Masaki**
It's totally different than last time.
**[02:38] Kosei**
These races are a way to introduce
these students to the whole world.
**[02:41] Kosei**
They're kind of like a big festival.
**[02:45] Masaki**
This should be a great concert.
**[02:47] Kosei**
Yeah.
**[02:48] Tako**
I'm glad Mr. Doctor was able to come.
**[02:51] Saionji**
We had to, after the trouble
we've caused the school.
**[02:56] Saionji**
Mr. Doctor holding an event here in
exchange for having Yu leave the school
**[03:00] Saionji**
actually makes for a nice story.
**[03:02] Saionji**
You've gotten better as an actress.
**[03:05] Tako**
Thank you.
**[03:11] Amane**
It's showtime!
**[03:14] Shun**
The horses are brushed up so pretty!
**[03:18] Kota**
The older students are nervous.
**[03:21] Aki**
They're really something else.
**[03:23] Sojiro**
You'd think they could wave at us.
**[03:25] Eri**
They've got too much on their minds.
**[03:30] Tako**
Thank you for everything.
**[03:35] Asahi**
He's an important student of ours.
**[03:37] Nohira**
However, while we can set this up,
it's up to him how he does.
**[03:41] Asahi**
You're harsh.
**[03:44] Eri**
Tako!
**[03:45] Aki**
How'd it go?
**[03:46] Tako**
It's fine.
**[03:48] Kota**
Whew...
**[03:49] Amane**
That's a relief.
**[03:50] Sojiro**
Everybody will be surprised.
**[03:52] Shun**
I can't wait to see him again. You?
**[03:55] Hayato**
Yeah.
**[03:58] Tako**
Hosho.
**[04:01] Tako**
Believe in Yu.
**[04:08] Tako**
Yu, what are you doing?
**[04:11] Tako**
Yu, stop it!
**[04:16] Tako**
Yu!
**[04:22] Yu**
Let me go!
**[04:24] Yu**
Tako.
**[04:32] Doctor**
I gave him permission.
**[04:34] Tako**
But, Doctor...
**[04:35] Doctor**
He promised me he wouldn't overdo it.
**[04:38] Doctor**
He really wants to get better soon.
**[04:42] Doctor**
I decided that his determination
could help his recovery.
**[04:46] Doctor**
However...
**[04:48] Doctor**
I can't guarantee he'll
recover within a month.
**[05:06] Tako**
Yes?
**[05:07] Voice**
Package for you!
**[05:15] Tako**
Eri?
***SIGN*** To Tako Kitami
**[05:23] Eri**
*Tako, sorry for sending you this.*
**[05:27] Eri**
*We can't get to Arimura,
so please give him this.*
**[05:32] Eri**
*It contains copies of our classroom notes*
**[05:36] Eri**
*and video files of our training and riding.*
**[05:40] Eri**
*Arimura may not be able to
actually exercise right now,*
**[05:44] Eri**
*but I think watching Kazanami and
Amane's riding can help him learn.*
**[05:48] Eri**
*Maki's may help him learn how not to ride!*
**[05:51] Eri**
*But when I wrote that, Maki got mad.*
**[05:56] Eri**
*Everybody believes Arimura will come back.*
**[06:00] Eri**
*So please, give this to him.*
**[06:04] Eri**
*I know it's a tough thing to ask.*
**[06:07] Eri**
*Next time you're in Kyoto, I'll treat you
to a free meal at my family's restaurant.*
**[06:26] Tako**
Yu's got the same look on his
face lately as he did then.

First years, change into your outfits!
**[07:17] All**
Okay!
**[07:24] Hayato**
Goodbye, everyone.
**[07:26] Aki**
Hayato!
**[07:33] Sojiro**
You're pretending to be a grown-up
until the very end, huh?
**[07:35] Hayato**
And you're still a kid.
**[07:38] Sojiro**
I'm fine as I am.
**[07:41] Sojiro**
Hayato, thanks.
**[07:44] Hayato**
Sure.
**[07:45] Both**
See you around!
**[07:53] Nohira**
Change the plan?
**[07:54] Asahi**
Pardon?
**[07:55] Tako**
The CEO insisted we get Mr.
Doctor's mini-concert finished
**[08:00] Tako**
while the TV cameras are rolling.
**[08:02] Nohira**
So?
**[08:03] Tako**
They'll be reordering the events
**[08:05] Tako**
so that the first years' jumping
and tests will move up 15 minutes.
**[08:11] Tako**
They said the principal's agreed.
**[08:13] Asahi**
Wow. That's bad.
**[08:15] Nohira**
When's Arimura getting here?
**[08:17] Tako**
If he runs from the station,
he should make it...
**[08:20] Asahi**
No, I'd rather he not exhaust himself.
**[08:23] Tako**
But we don't have a car...

Tako said this was the best way

**[09:24] Hayato**
So that's how the grown-up world works, huh?
**[09:28] Yu**
Hayato, how are you feeling?
**[09:31] Hayato**
I'm fine.
**[09:32] Hayato**
I'm eating normally these days.
**[09:38] Hayato**
How's your right hand?
**[09:40] Yu**
Fine now.
**[09:42] Yu**
Good as new.
**[09:44] Hayato**
I'm sorry about the accident.
**[09:47] Yu**
You don't need to apologize.
**[09:49] Yu**
I made it this far because you
and the others supported me.
**[09:55] Hayato**
I see.
**[09:57] Yu**
I was happy you told me not to give up.
**[10:01] Yu**
I was the one being insensitive. I'm sorry.
**[10:06] Hayato**
What's done is done.
**[10:08] Hayato**
I've gotten over it now.
**[10:11] Yu**
Yeah.
**[10:13] Hayato**
Arimura, I'm not a student at
the Horse Riding School anymore.
**[10:19] Hayato**
But...
**[10:20] Hayato**
I haven't given up on horse riding.
**[10:23] Yu**
Yeah, I know.
**[10:28] Hayato**
So...
**[10:32] Masaki**
Let's have a word from each
of the new students this year.
**[10:39] Masaki**
You've been here six months.
How has it been, Maki?
**[10:44] Kota**
It's been wonderful!
**[10:48] Kota**
The classes, the riding,
the other things I've experienced...
**[10:52] Kota**
I'm starting to feel like a jockey!
**[10:56] Kota**
I'll keep it up.
**[10:58] Masaki**
Thank you!
**[11:00] Masaki**
Now, Kyoriki.
**[11:02] Aki**
I-I'm starting to feel
more like a jockey myself!
**[11:06] Aki**
At first, I got into fights with my
classmates over basically nothing.
**[11:11] Aki**
But we all want to be jockeys together!
**[11:15] Aki**
Now I've matured and am
heading towards my dream!
**[11:22] Aki**
I'll do my best!
**[11:24] Masaki**
Thank you. Next, Sakuraba.
**[11:28] Sojiro**
I...
**[11:31] Sojiro**
I'm a little conflicted today.
**[11:35] Sojiro**
One of my classmates left
the school the other day.
**[11:39] Sojiro**
He worked harder than any of us,
**[11:41] Sojiro**
and I'm sad I won't be able
to train with him anymore.
**[11:45] Sojiro**
But at the same time, it taught me
just how tough this industry can be.
**[11:51] Sojiro**
I want to be a jockey he respects!
**[11:55] Masaki**
That's a wonderful goal.
**[11:57] Kosei**
In the future, you'll all be rivals!
**[11:59] Kota**
That's right!
**[12:00] Kota**
So, at least while we're in school,
**[12:03] Kota**
we want to be friends,
working towards the same goal!
**[12:10] Masaki**
Of course.
**[12:12] Masaki**
Now...
**[12:16] Hayato**
I had no idea this path was here.
**[12:18] Yu**
I found it the day I came to school.
**[12:20] Yu**
Turn right there.
**[12:38] Yu**
I'm okay now.
**[12:50] Hayato**
What's wrong?
**[12:52] Yu**
No, it's nothing!
**[12:54] Hayato**
I'm speeding up!
**[13:00] Teacher**
First-year students,
get ready for your jumps.
**[13:03] Students**
Yes, sir!
**[13:08] Kosei**
Are you Kazanami?
**[13:10] Shun**
Yes.
**[13:14] Hayato**
Arimura!
**[13:16] Hayato**
Don't let them beat you!
**[13:17] Hayato**
Let me see you become a top jockey!
**[13:31] Masaki**
Yu told me you were working
hard to help him come back.
**[13:34] Shun**
I didn't do anything.
**[13:36] Shun**
Yu was the one who worked hard.
**[13:39] Shun**
So he'll be fine.
**[13:41] Shun**
Believe in Yu!
**[13:47] Kosei**
You heard him.
**[13:48] Masaki**
Yeah. Let's believe in him.
**[13:57] Yu**
Rice Kate!
**[14:01] Yu**
I'm back!
**[14:06] Yu**
Let's do it!
**[14:08] Man**
Principal...
**[14:09] Principal**
Yu Arimura is...
**[14:11] Man**
Yes. He's participating
in the jumping exercises.
**[14:24] Watchers**
It's Yu!
**[14:26] Watchers**
Yu's here!
**[14:36] Amane**
Yu Arimura.
**[14:37] Kota**
Arimura!
**[14:39] Yu**
Good to see you guys again!
**[14:41] Sojiro**
Sheesh...
**[14:43] Eri**
You scared us!
**[14:45] Aki**
Fashionably late, are we?
**[14:48] Yu**
Shun, I'm back.
**[14:50] Shun**
Rice Kate's the best, huh?
**[14:53] Yu**
Yeah!
**[14:56] Asahi**
Okay, everyone!
**[14:58] Asahi**
It's showtime!
**[15:01] Asahi**
Are you ready? Okay!
**[15:05] All**
Yes, sir!
**[15:18] Hayato**
Dad?
**[15:19] Nohira**
You're not going to watch?
**[15:23] Hayato**
What about you? Shouldn't
an instructor be watching?
**[15:26] Nohira**
Instructor Asahi's there.
**[15:28] Nohira**
I have something more important to do.
**[15:35] Hayato**
Thanks for letting me stay
at school a while, Dad.
**[15:39] Nohira**
It's fine.
**[15:40] Nohira**
Until today's over, you're a student here.
**[15:45] Nohira**
You did good, Hayato. You graduate.
**[15:57] Man**
The first-years will now do their jump
exhibition and monkey riding test.
**[16:15] Tako**
You can do it.
**[16:17] Saionji**
Well, you've made a mess of things.
**[16:21] Tako**
CEO...
**[16:22] Saionji**
You brought Mr. Doctor here
on the day of the race,
**[16:25] Saionji**
and the media, too,
so everyone would watch.
**[16:27] Saionji**
If Yu comes back with the cameras rolling,
**[16:29] Saionji**
the whole of Japan will be cheering him on,
**[16:31] Saionji**
and I'll have no choice but to accept it.
**[16:37] Saionji**
Clever.
**[16:38] Tako**
I've had the benefit of seeing
how you do things up close.
**[16:46] Saionji**
When did he start training?
**[16:48] Tako**
A month ago.
**[16:52] Tako**
He borrowed the hospital's physical
therapy room in the middle of the night.
**[16:57] Saionji**
Did Kosei and Masaki know?
**[16:59] Tako**
Don't blame them.
**[17:01] Tako**
I begged them to help.
**[17:11] Masaki**
Yu, go for it!
**[17:13] Kosei**
You can do this!
**[17:18] Yu**
Rice Kate. We can do this, right?
**[17:23] Yu**
Okay!
**[17:24] Asahi**
Arimura, go!
**[17:43] Aki**
No! He didn't get close enough!
**[17:45] Kota**
Arimura!
**[18:01] Sojiro**
He's panicking.
**[18:02] Eri**
Will he be okay?
**[18:04] Amane**
Holy cow...
**[18:08] Shun**
*You won't let it end here, right, Yu?*
**[18:14] Yu**
*No, of course not!*
**[18:17] Asahi**
Arimura, you up for this?
**[18:19] Yu**
Yes! I'm just fine!
**[18:26] Yu**
I'm fine.
**[18:46] Yu**
*Yes!*
**[18:52] All**
Yes!
**[18:53] Kota**
Wow, Arimura!
**[19:10] Saionji**
Yu...
**[19:21] Shun**
That was great, Yu.
**[19:23] Yu**
Thanks!
**[19:24] Aki**
You were amazing!
**[19:25] Kota**
I'd never know you were hurt!
**[19:29] Sojiro**
Huh? Were you ever really hurt?
**[19:31] Amane**
Was that all some big con?
**[19:35] Eri**
You can't just say you're impressed, huh?
**[19:39] Yu**
Thanks, everyone!
**[19:45] Asahi**
This concludes the first-year
students' monkey riding exhibition.
**[19:50] Asahi**
Thank you very much!
**[19:58] Yu**
CEO...
**[20:13] Yu**
Um...
**[20:14] Saionji**
You're fired.
**[20:18] Saionji**
You refused to do what I told you.
**[20:21] Saionji**
You're now permanently, not temporarily,
removed from Mr. Doctor.
**[20:28] Saionji**
You'd better make some money as a
jockey to pay that contract penalty.
**[20:35] Yu**
CEO...
**[20:36] Yu**
I'll be a jockey nobody can ever forget!
**[21:10] Shun**
Yu! The instructor's calling!
**[21:13] Yu**
Sure! Coming!

**[00:53] Shun**
Good morning!
**[00:59] Shun**
Morning, everybody! Let's do our best today!
**[01:04] Shun**
Morning, Kikumi!
**[01:07] Kikumi**
Hey there.
**[01:14] Shun**
Hey, Kisuke. You're in
a good mood today, huh?
**[01:17] Kikumi**
Hey, Shun, I'm thinking of giving
him some extra feed today.
**[01:20] Kikumi**
He's looking a little thin.
**[01:22] Shun**
Roger.
**[01:24] Tayasu**
Give Kisuke one hour of lead exercising,
**[01:26] Tayasu**
followed by five laps of light
canter on the round track,
**[01:30] Tayasu**
then a solo 5F15 on the E course.
**[01:33] Tayasu**
Finish it up with some free riding,
**[01:35] Tayasu**
then 40 minutes of cooldown.
**[01:37] Tayasu**
Give Naichi Tiger one
hour of lead exercising,
**[01:40] Tayasu**
followed by five laps of light
canter on the round track,
**[01:43] Tayasu**
then a solo 5F15 on the hill course.
**[01:46] Tayasu**
Finish it up with some free riding,
**[01:48] Tayasu**
then 40 minutes of cooldown.
**[01:50] Tayasu**
That's today's training menu.
**[01:54] Tayasu**
Sumeragi-sensei, your turn.
**[02:00] Sumeragi**
I'm seeing a lot of problems
with your timers lately.
**[02:02] Sumeragi**
We need good data, so make sure
your paces match the clock.
**[02:06] Sumeragi**
Report anything that seems wrong,
no matter how minor.
**[02:09] All**
Yes, ma'am!
**[02:11] Sumeragi**
Kazanami-kun, you've been here a month.
**[02:14] Sumeragi**
Stop expecting to be treated like a trainee.
**[02:17] Sumeragi**
Act like a professional jockey.
**[02:20] Shun**
Yes, ma'am.
**[02:22] Sumeragi**
Now, get to work!
**[02:26] All**
Thank you, ma'am!

**[04:04] Eri**
Kazanami!
**[04:06] Eri**
Morning!
**[04:07] Shun**
Morning!
**[04:20] Tayasu**
They're at 12-12.
**[04:22] Sumeragi**
Not bad.
**[04:23] Sumeragi**
The legs are moving smoothly.
**[04:25] Matsumiya**
That jockey always
has such beautiful form.
**[04:30] Sumeragi**
Matsumiya!
**[04:33] Matsumiya**
It's nice to have a stable with spirit.
**[04:36] Matsumiya**
The horses seem to be happy, too.
**[04:38] Sumeragi**
We're nowhere near your stable, Matsumiya.
**[04:42] Matsumiya**
I wish we had your spirit.
**[04:44] Matsumiya**
Given how hard that boy we
talked about is trying.
**[04:48] Sumeragi**
The one from Kazanami's class?
**[04:51] Matsumiya**
I think he's got a future,
**[04:54] Matsumiya**
but one of the older jockeys
is giving him a hard time.
**[05:02] Yu**
Looking good, Shun.
**[05:04] Shun**
Yeah, the horse was in a good mood today.
**[05:07] Shun**
Your legs were moving so smoothly, Kisuke.
**[05:13] Yu**
I don't mean the horse. I mean you.
**[05:16] Shun**
Me?
**[05:17] Shun**
Of course, I'm doing great!
**[05:19] Shun**
Nothing could make me happier
than riding a horse every day!
**[05:24] Yu**
We're both having a good time, then.
**[05:26] Shun**
Yeah.
**[05:27] Kuji**
Hey, Arimura!
**[05:29] Kuji**
You're taking too long to catch up!
**[05:32] Yu**
Kuji.
**[05:34] Kuji**
Stop screwing around!
**[05:36] Kuji**
Get back to training!
**[05:38] Yu**
Yes, sir!
**[05:39] Kuji**
Anyone who can't pull their weight
gets sent back to school!
**[05:43] Yu**
Yes, sir!
**[05:45] Amane**
Okay, I'll take it slow.
**[05:48] Amane**
I've had enough.
**[05:50] Amane**
I can't take it anymore.
**[05:58] Kikumi**
Stronger.
**[06:01] Shun**
Okay!
**[06:04] Shun**
But, Kikumi, Kisuke doesn't
seem to like it today.
**[06:08] Kikumi**
You don't always have to give
the horse what it wants.
**[06:11] Kikumi**
The horse is the one that
suffers if you don't do it right.
**[06:15] Shun**
Yes, sir!
**[06:19] Kikumi**
Hey, Shun, did you know
his owner's coming today?
**[06:24] Shun**
Kashino?
**[06:26] Kikumi**
He's bringing in a new horse!
**[06:28] Shun**
Really?
**[06:30] Kikumi**
You really love horses, don't you?
**[06:33] Kikumi**
It's a young horse, three years
old. It used to be at Yabe Farms.
**[06:37] Shun**
So it'll make its debut in
the November maiden race?
**[06:40] Kikumi**
It's got a good bloodline, supposedly.
**[06:43] Kikumi**
Kashino was in love with it,
**[06:44] Kikumi**
but the mistress went and begged him
a bunch of times to bring it here.
**[06:48] Sumeragi**
Sumeragi went herself?
**[06:50] Kikumi**
Yup.
**[06:52] Kikumi**
"I promise I'll make it into a horse that
can race in the derby, so send it here."
**[06:57] Shun**
The derby!
**[06:59] Shun**
It really is an amazing horse, then!
**[07:01] Kikumi**
The mistress started this place three
years ago. She's ready to win a big race.
***SIGN*** Akari Sumeragi
**[07:07] Kikumi**
The stable needs something to brag about.
**[07:09] shun**
Is that how it works?
**[07:13] Kikumi**
The mistress has it rough.
**[07:16] Kikumi**
It's hard for a young female trainer
to get people to take her seriously.
**[07:22] Kikumi**
Not like an older man.
**[07:25] Kikumi**
In my case, I've known her
since she was this tall.
**[07:30] Kikumi**
She's like a daughter to me!
**[07:33] Kikumi**
I'd do anything for her, but...
**[07:37] Kikumi**
I'm just not cut out to be a jockey!
**[07:44] Kikumi**
Huh?
**[07:54] Sumeragi**
The horse is even better than I'd heard.
**[07:55] Tayasu**
Yes. It already has the bearing of a winner.
**[08:06] Kikumi**
Pretty one.
**[08:07] Shun**
A little scared, though.
**[08:10] Kikumi**
You can tell?
**[08:11] Shun**
Yes.
**[08:13] Shun**
Like it's hiding its nervousness.
**[08:15] Shun**
Maybe it's timid?
**[08:18] Kikumi**
If you can tell that much from just
one look at it, you're doing well.
**[08:21] Shun**
I can't wait to take care of it!
**[08:23] Kikumi**
Now it's up to the mistress
to raise it right.
**[08:28] Kikumi**
Hey, Shun! If you keep staring at the young
ones, the older ones will get jealous!
**[08:34] Shun**
You're right!
**[08:38] Miku**
Kisuke!
**[08:40] Miku**
Did you forget me?
**[08:42] Miku**
It's me, Miku! Kisuke!
**[08:46] Shun**
I remember you. You're Miku!
**[08:56] Miku**
Who are you?
**[08:59] Shun**
Hi there!
**[09:00] Shun**
I'm Shun Kazanami. I'm part of this stable!
**[09:05] Miku**
Miku Kashino.
**[09:08] Shun**
That's a great name.
**[09:10] Shun**
Kashino...
**[09:12] Tayasu**
There you are, miss.
**[09:17] Tayasu**
You're saying hello to Kisuke?
**[09:19] Tayasu**
He must be happy to see you again.
**[09:22] Miku**
Not really.
**[09:23] Tayasu**
It's cold out here.
**[09:26] Tayasu**
I've prepared a warm room for you
to wait in while your father's talking.
**[09:30] Tayasu**
I have some sweets for you, too.
**[09:32] Miku**
I'm fine.
**[09:36] Shun**
Here!
**[09:44] Tayasu**
I'll let you handle her.
**[09:45] Miku**
Did you like that?
**[09:46] Tayasu**
They're going to be a
while, so show her around.
**[09:55] Shun**
I see. So you're the owner's daughter.
**[09:59] Miku**
Yes.
**[10:01] Shun**
Kisuke's a great horse, isn't he?
**[10:03] Shun**
He's wonderful to ride!
**[10:06] Miku**
You've ridden him?
**[10:08] Shun**
Of course!
**[10:10] Shun**
I'm a jockey, you know.
**[10:17] Shun**
Or a trainee, more specifically.
**[10:19] Shun**
You need to study at school to be a jockey,
**[10:22] Shun**
but in your second year you're sent to
a training center to learn the ropes.
**[10:26] Miku**
So you're studying at Akari's stable?
**[10:27] Shun**
Yep!
**[10:28] Shun**
I am a trainee, receiving strict
instruction under Sumeragi's tutelage!
**[10:34] Miku**
Akari used to be nicer.
**[10:38] Shun**
Really?
**[10:39] Miku**
Yes.
**[10:40] Miku**
My dad says she's an instructor now,
with a lot of responsibilities, so that's why.
**[10:47] Miku**
Is she that big of a deal?
**[10:52] Sumeragi**
I'll ensure it receives the
best treatment possible.
**[10:55] Kishino**
I'm glad to hear it.
**[10:59] Kishino**
I've already decided on a name. Oak Diamond.
**[11:03] Kishino**
Because of its shining eyes.
**[11:04] Sumeragi**
That's a wonderful name.
**[11:06] Kishino**
I've been saving "diamond"
for a derby-winner,
**[11:09] Kishino**
and I know you agree with me there.
**[11:13] Sumeragi**
I'm sure it can happen.
**[11:16] Tayasu**
For that to happen,
we'll have to start winning.
**[11:20] Tayasu**
Kashino, after the maiden race,
**[11:22] Tayasu**
how about we enter it in the
January Fukujuso Tokubetsu,
**[11:24] Tayasu**
have a short period of pasturage until
March, and then the Wakaba Stakes?
**[11:29] Kashino**
No. After the maiden race, I want to
go straight to the Wakagoma Stakes.
**[11:34] Sumeragi**
You want to go to an Open that soon?
**[11:36] Kashino**
Yes.
**[11:37] Kashino**
I want to follow the same course as
the undefeated Triple Crown winner.
**[11:41] Kashino**
Then on to the Yayoi Sho. The Satsuki Sho.
**[11:43] Kashino**
I want it on the road to the Triple Crown.
**[11:45] Kashino**
I think it's capable.
**[11:50] Sumeragi**
I see.
**[11:51] Kashino**
I know it will be hard,
but I think you're capable of it.
**[11:56] Kashino**
Pull it off, and I'll give you another
one I have my eye on next year.
**[12:02] Kashino**
It's every bit as good as Oak Diamond.
**[12:06] Kashino**
It has the Galileo pedigree,
which is extremely rare in Japan.
**[12:09] Tayasu**
From Shimonagaya Farms?
**[12:14] Kashino**
Will you do it, Ms. Sumeragi?
**[12:23] Sumeragi**
Of course.
**[12:26] Miku**
There are so many horses here!
**[12:29] Shun**
A training center is like
a little city for horses!
**[12:33] Shun**
There's a whole lot of people working
every day so that the horses can win!
**[12:42] Shun**
This is the Matsumiya Stable.
My classmate works here.
**[12:46] Shun**
Um...
**[12:49] Yu**
Why?
**[12:51] Yu**
You can't spoil Taro like that!
**[12:53] Yu**
He always tries to go at a slow pace!
**[12:57] Yu**
Kuji!
**[13:00] Shun**
Seems like he's busy.
**[13:03] Yu**
Kuji!
**[13:06] Kuji**
Do what your instructor tells you.
**[13:08] Yu**
He's changing things too soon!
**[13:11] Kuji**
Knock it off!
**[13:14] Kuji**
In this stable, what he says goes!
**[13:17] Kuji**
He's the one who's responsible
for making sure the horses win!
**[13:20] Kuji**
He's the one whose neck is on the line!
**[13:24] Kuji**
We're jockeys.
**[13:26] Kuji**
No matter how a horse was raised,
our job is to place it as high as possible!
**[13:31] Kuji**
That's the only thing we live for!
**[13:39] Shun**
This is the dorm where we live.
**[13:42] Shun**
I wonder if there's anything
else I can show you.
**[13:45] Miku**
No, let's head back.
**[13:48] Miku**
I want to talk to Kisuke more!
**[13:53] Shun**
Yeah, let's do that.
**[13:55] Shun**
Okay, let's race!
**[13:57] Miku**
Hey, wait!
**[14:05] Kikumi**
You called?
**[14:06] Sumeragi**
Kikumi, sit.
**[14:09] Kashino**
Hey there, Kiku.
**[14:11] Kikumi**
Hello.
**[14:13] Sumeragi**
Kikumi, about Oak Nature...
**[14:17] Kikumi**
Kisuke?
**[14:19] Kikumi**
He's getting better and better.
**[14:21] Kikumi**
He really likes Kazanami.
**[14:24] Kashino**
Kazanami?
**[14:26] Sumeragi**
A trainee who's staying here.
**[14:28] Sumeragi**
He's an interesting little kid.
**[14:30] Sumeragi**
I'll introduce you sometime.
**[14:32] Kikumi**
What's happening with Kisuke?
**[14:39] Sumeragi**
I think it's time to give
him a good retirement.
**[14:50] Miku**
Kisuke!
**[14:53] Miku**
Mr. Kikumi!
**[14:56] Kikumi**
Miku! You've grown up!
**[15:00] Kikumi**
Shun, can we talk?
**[15:04] Miku**
You're such a good boy! You're so cute!
**[15:06] Shun**
What is it, Kikumi?
**[15:10] Kikumi**
Kisuke will be retiring at the
Hanshin Daishoten in March.
**[15:12] Miku**
Does that feel good? What about this?
**[15:14] Kikumi**
They'll be sending him back to the farm.
**[15:17] Kikumi**
It's the perfect last race
for a good horse like him.
**[15:22] Shun**
Is that right?
**[15:30] Shun**
You've done good.

**[15:42] Shun**
Okay, good work, Kisuke!
**[15:45] Shun**
You need to impress Miku in
your last race, after all.
**[15:49] Shun**
Let's both do our best!
**[16:09] Shun**
Kirarin, you really do have pretty eyes.
**[16:13] Shun**
"Diamond" is the right name for you.
**[16:17] Shun**
You don't need to worry.
You'll get used to this place,
**[16:21] Shun**
so relax.
**[16:24] Tayasu**
You're talking to the horses again?
**[16:26] Shun**
Oh, Tayasu.
**[16:28] Shun**
It's scared about racing
in an unfamiliar place.
**[16:31] Tayasu**
What?
**[16:32] Shun**
It's not moving as fast as it
should be on the training course.
**[16:36] Shun**
Its steps are really unsteady,
like it's scared of its own shadow.
**[16:42] Tayasu**
Yeah, thinking back, its times were uneven.
**[16:46] Shun**
Are you scared of stepping on grass and bugs?
**[16:51] Shun**
For a racehorse, that's a problem!
**[17:00] Eri**
This is my favorite part of the day!
**[17:04] Eri**
This is heaven compared to the school.
**[17:07] Shun**
You said it!
**[17:08] Shun**
There are lots of horses here, too!
**[17:10] Shun/Eri**
Right?
**[17:11] Amane**
I'm sick of all these
strict rules for training!
**[17:14] Amane**
Time! Time!
**[17:16] Amane**
Only Japan obsesses over
tenths of a second like this.
**[17:19] Amane**
You should learn from
the rest of the world!
**[17:22] Amane**
Don't you agree, Yu Arimura?
**[17:25] Yu**
I don't know.
**[17:27] Amane**
Are you satisfied just
training the way you're told?
**[17:31] Amane**
Don't you have any
thoughts of your own?
**[17:34] Yu**
Thoughts...
**[17:38] Yu**
I don't think my "thoughts"
can improve anything.
**[17:41] Amane**
What?
**[17:43] Yu**
We're jockeys.
**[17:44] Yu**
We have to do our best with the
rules the instructors give us.
**[17:48] Yu**
Complaining won't make
you a better jockey.
**[17:52] Shun**
Yu's changed.
**[17:55] Amane**
Yu Arimura's turned into a little brat.
**[17:57] Eri**
Why don't you try growing up, too?
**[18:01] Amane**
Are you saying I haven't?
**[18:04] Eri**
At least you can talk to girls now, right?
**[18:10] Amane**
Unbelievable...
**[18:13] Sumeragi**
Kirarin's getting better and better.

I didn't expect Kirarin's
weak spot to be footing.
**[18:23] Sumeragi**
I'm glad we spotted it early. Good work.
**[18:27] Tayasu**
It was Kazanami.
**[18:28] Sumeragi**
Kazanami?
**[18:30] Tayasu**
The same as always.
He told me the horse was scared.
**[18:35] Tayasu**
Even that its footwork was unsteady.
**[18:39] Tayasu**
Ma'am, I've never really believed it, but...
**[18:42] Tayasu**
Can Kazanami really understand
what the horses are saying?
**[18:46] Sumeragi**
You never believe in anything
but theory and numbers.
**[18:49] Sumeragi**
I'm surprised to hear you say that.
**[18:52] Sumeragi**
Kazanami must have superior
observational skills.
**[18:56] Sumeragi**
A horse's expression.
Its tendencies. Its movements.
**[19:01] Sumeragi**
He can understand them instantly,
and transform them into words in his mind.
**[19:04] Sumeragi**
He doesn't realize that, and believes
that he's hearing their voices.
**[19:10] Tayasu**
I see.
**[19:12] Sumeragi**
But...
**[19:14] Tayasu**
But?
**[19:19] Sumeragi**
We'll keep training Kirarin
this way until the maiden race.

Leave it to me.
**[20:34] Sumeragi**
Hayashida, thank you.
**[20:38] Hayashida**
See? You were right
to leave it to me, right?
**[20:48] Tayasu**
I didn't expect such
an overwhelming victory.
**[20:51] Tayasu**
What an amazing horse.
**[20:54] Sumeragi**
Yes. I was worried over nothing.
**[21:05] Kikumi**
Hey, Shun! Kirarin won!
**[21:08] Shun**
Yeah, the way they ran was amazing!
**[21:11] Shun**
Maybe that last spurt was
what sealed the deal?
**[21:14] Shun**
They were starting to get mixed
in with the other horses,
**[21:16] Shun**
but they're a scaredy-cat, so maybe
that's why they were quick to break out.
**[21:19] Kikumi**
Did they show that on the TV?
**[21:22] Shun**
I think it was when they
rounded the third corner.
**[21:25] Kikumi**
What were you watching the race on?
**[21:29] Shun**
This!
**[21:35] Stablehand**
Good work.
**[21:38] Stablehand**
It was worth coming all this way.
We got valuable data, too.
**[21:44] Sumeragi**
Next is the Open, huh?
**[21:45] Tayasu**
Think it will go like
Kashino wants it to?
**[21:49] Sumeragi**
Yes. And how we want it to, too.
**[21:57] Kikumi**
Miss, can we chat for a moment?
***SIGN*** Oak Diamond
**[22:01] Sumeragi**
Yes, it was a little off in the
pace around the third corner.
**[22:06] Sumeragi**
Hayashida said that it didn't like
being in the pack and went ahead.
**[22:10] Tayasu**
I looked after the race,
and its time was a bit off.
***SIGN*** Oak Diamond
**[22:14] Tayasu**
But I don't think the TVs showed that.
**[22:17] Kikumi**
No. We didn't notice at all.
**[22:22] Kikumi**
But Shun did!
**[22:25] Sumeragi**
Kazanami did?
**[22:26] Kikumi**
He was listening with the radio
instead of watching on TV!
**[22:31] Kikumi**
And he says he could tell what was
going on around the third corner!
**[22:37] Kikumi**
It's starting to creep me out!
**[22:42] Shun**
Good work today.
**[22:44] Shun**
You did great!
**[22:46] Shun**
It wasn't as scary as you thought, right?
**[22:48] Shun**
Oh, it was fun, was it?
**[22:51] Shun**
Yup!
**[22:52] Shun**
It's gonna get more fun!
**[22:55] Shun**
Let's both do our best!
**[22:57] Sumeragi**
Looks like it's more than just a good eye
that tells him what the horses are feeling.
**[23:03] Sumeragi**
Maybe he's hearing something from
the horses that others can't.
**[23:08] Tayasu**
Is that possible?
**[23:12] Sumeragi**
It may be dangerous, but...
**[23:16] Sumeragi**
Let's bet on this power of his.
**[23:24] Sumeragi**
Kazanami.
**[23:25] Shun**
Welcome back, ma'am!

Do you want to help train Kirarin?

**[00:11] Aki**
I screwed up.
**[00:12] Aki**
They told me not to treat
the horse so roughly.
**[00:15] Sojiro**
You get your rough nature

And you're all doing fine!
**[02:25] Asahi**
You've learned to control

**[02:29] Aki**
I'm a lot better than I was, right?
**[02:30] Kota**
You'd better be.
**[02:32] Kota**
If we're going to be
participating in a real race,
**[02:35] Kota**
at a bare minimum we have
to be able to control our horses.
**[02:38] Asahi**
Wow!
**[02:40] Aki**
Well, we're having fun.
**[02:43] Aki**
One of us is constantly sending evil
thought waves toward Ritto, though.
**[02:48] Asahi**
Mr. Sakuraba, the reason your
father didn't accept you
**[02:53] Asahi**
was that he wants his dear
son to mature on his own.
**[02:56] Sojiro**
But he took Shimotsuki. He wants
the attention she brings, I bet.
**[03:01] Kota**
It's too late to worry about it.
**[03:03] Aki**
That's right.
**[03:04] Aki**
We'll just have to do our best here.

Great, aren't they?

**[03:44] Miyashita**
Please do.
**[03:46] Miyashita**

Akari, looks like you'll get

**[03:52] Akari**
It's thanks to your instruction.
**[03:54] Miyashita**
It's your stables' third year. It's time.
**[03:58] ---**
Yes.
**[04:14] Shun**
Keep Kirarin away from the other horses.
**[04:17] Shun**
You're scaring them.
**[04:18] Hayashida**
Oh, is that why we stopped giving
them partner horses to ride with?
**[04:21] Shun**
Yes. They looked scared
in their maiden race.
**[04:25] Hayashida**
Yeah?
**[04:26] Hayashida**
That helped them get out of the pack, then.
**[04:30] Shun**
It was just luck...
**[04:33] Hayashida**
Are you saying my skill is just luck?
**[04:36] Shun**
No. I'm sorry.
**[04:39] Hayashida**
Kazanami, relax. As a jockey,
you should understand this.
**[04:43] Hayashida**
Leave it to me.
**[04:46] Shun**
Right...
**[04:48] Shun**
Thank you.
**[04:54] Kikumi**
Oh, if it isn't the philanderer
with an eye for the young ones!
**[04:59] Shun**
That's so mean, Kikumi.
**[05:01] Kikumi**
How's Kirarin looking?
**[05:03] Shun**
Still a little scared.
**[05:06] Shun**
We stopped running them
with a partner horse.
**[05:09] Kikumi**
You really are kind to
the horses, aren't you?
**[05:12] Kikumi**
We're lucky to have
him around, huh, Kisuke?

Kisuke's a good horse.

If you believe the data,

I hope training them solo pays off.
**[05:47] Tayasu**
But their starting pace worries me.
**[05:51] Akira**
Let's share that with Hayashida,
along with Kazanami's concerns.
**[05:56] Tayasu**
About Hayashida... He's accomplished
quite a lot as a jockey,
**[06:00] Tayasu**
but I don't get a good feeling from him.

That's fine.
**[06:04] Akira**
Whether he does what we
tell him isn't important.
**[06:06] Tayasu**
I'm sorry?
**[06:07] Akira**
What matters is the fact that we told him.
**[06:10] Akira**
If he doesn't do what we say,

we can get rid of him.

**[08:01] Hayashida**
Yeah, the lady told me the same thing.
**[08:04] Hayashida**
But I had to go forward
if I was going to win.
**[08:07] Hayashida**
They didn't do what I needed them to, though.
**[08:11] Hayashida**
Kazanami, do you think a wimp
like that can win the derby?
**[08:16] Hayashida**
Every horse at the derby is top-notch.
**[08:19] Hayashida**
You can't win if you're
scared of every pack.
**[08:22] Shun**
Wait... Did you do that
deliberately? For practice?
**[08:26] Hayashida**
This isn't the only race in the world.
**[08:28] Hayashida**
If you think about the future,
this is what's best for that horse—
**[08:32] Shun**
Don't be so selfish!
**[08:37] Hayashida**
Yeah, maybe I was being selfish.
**[08:40] Hayashida**
I was too desperate for a win.
**[08:50] Shun**
I'm sorry!

I don't need your apologies.
**[08:53] Akira**
I'm responsible for deciding
how to train the horses.
**[08:57] Shun**
Sumeragi?
**[08:59] Akira**
I spoke with their owner, Kashino.
**[09:02] Akira**
The owner does not believe this
loss was the horse's fault.
**[09:08] Akira**
So we'll be racing Kirarin in the Yayoi
Sho as planned, but changing jockeys.
**[09:13] Tayasu**
Winning the Yayoi Sho will give us the prize
money we need to compete in the derby.
**[09:18] Tayasu**
And the Satsuki Sho, too.
**[09:20] Shun**
You're getting rid of Hayashida?
**[09:23] Akira**
He failed to follow our orders.
**[09:26] Akira**
It doesn't matter how close you are
to the owner if you can't get results.
**[09:31] Akira**
But...
**[09:33] Akira**
That goes for us, as well.
**[09:35] Shun**
Yes, ma'am.

*Kisuke! You can tell it's me?*
**[10:03] Miku**
*I told everybody at school about you!*

Something's wrong with Kirarin.
**[10:07] Miku**
* All my friends told me*
* they want to meet you!*
**[10:08] Kikumi**

**[10:10] Shun**
They were really avoiding the other
horses during morning training.
**[10:12] ---**
*They want to ride you, too!*
**[10:14] Shun**
The big pack of horses at the Wakagoma
Stakes may have traumatized them.
**[10:15] ---**
* Unfortunately, I won't get*
* to see you for a while...*
**[10:18] Kikumi**
They're so delicate. Nothing like Kisuke!
**[10:26] Shun**
Well, Miku?
**[10:27] Shun**
Did you get to talk to Kisuke?
**[10:28] Miku**
*No... I want to be in the same room as him.*
**[10:31] Shun**
Come see him with your dad next time.
**[10:34] Miku**
*I don't know if I can.*
**[10:35] Miku**
*I've got cram school over spring break.*
**[10:39] Shun**
Oh, right! You might be able to ride him!
**[10:42] Shun**
Once his retirement race is over,
**[10:44] Shun**
Kisuke's going to a place called
Hirato Farms in Hokkaido.
**[10:48] Shun**
They might let you ride
him once he's up there!
**[10:50] Kikumi**
Yeah, I'm sure they will.

*Really?*

Don't worry. Kuji's style is to
leave the horse to the trainer.
**[11:56] Yu**
This time, you'll have a jockey
who does as he's told.
**[12:02] Yu**
Your job is to make Kirarin into
a horse that can win, I think.
**[12:06] Shun**
A horse that can win?
**[12:07] Yu**
Kirarin couldn't bring their strong
legs to bear in the last race.
**[12:11] Yu**
The Yayoi Sho has hills at the start and
at the goal. You need stamina, Kuji said.
**[12:17] Shun**
The start's not a problem.
**[12:19] Shun**
And if Kirarin can bring out
their full strength before
**[12:22] Shun**
they hit the hill in front of the goal...
**[12:24] Yu**
A way to make sure they can do a spurt, then!
**[12:27] Shun**
Yeah...
**[12:28] Eri**
They sound like a jockey
and a trainer, huh?
**[12:31] Amane**
Shun Kazanami. What about
your own future as a jockey?
**[12:34] Amane**
If you just go exactly
by the book in training,
**[12:37] Amane**
it'll kill your instincts.
**[12:38] Amane**
What happened to the boy who was
having so much fun riding in school?
**[12:42] Shun**
That was just because
riding training was fun.
**[12:46] Shun**
I was working out stress from the classes.
**[12:48] Eri**
Yeah, you hated those classes, huh?
**[12:51] Shun**
Stress...
**[12:54] Shun**
That's it!
**[12:56] Shun**
Thanks, Amane!
**[13:11] Eri**
Amane!
**[13:14] Eri**
Did something happen?
**[13:15] Amane**
There's no problem, Eri Shimotsuki.
**[13:18] Eri**
Doesn't look like it to me.
**[13:20] Eri**
You haven't been coming to
morning training lately.
**[13:24] Amane**
I'm forbidden from riding
a horse for two weeks.
**[13:28] Amane**
They're not letting me on a
horse's back until I promise
**[13:31] Amane**
I can get the timing down to the second.
**[13:33] Eri**
I didn't know...
**[13:34] Amane**
Yu Arimura and Shun Kazanami have
a lot of fun things to talk about.
**[13:39] Amane**
A year ago, wining a major
prize was a fantasy for us.
**[13:43] Amane**
But for them, it's reality.
**[13:45] Amane**
And I'm not even allowed at training.
**[13:49] Eri**
You're a good rider. You'll be fine.
**[13:52] Eri**
Once you're a jockey, you'll
be more famous than any of us!
**[13:57] Amane**
Because I'm not Japanese?
**[14:01] Eri**
That's not what I...
**[14:03] Tako**
Eri!
**[14:06] Eri**
Tako!
**[14:07] Tako**
I finally found you!
**[14:09] Tako**
Now, answer my questions.
**[14:11] Eri**
Enough. You got enough
footage already, didn't you?
**[14:14] Tako**
That was for the magazine.
**[14:16] Tako**
This is for a documentary following
your class's exploits since school.
**[14:20] Tako**
Now, let's take some footage
of your private life!
**[14:22] Eri**
Tako, you've gotten more pushy
since you became a journalist.
**[14:25] Tako**
That's not true. How rude.
**[14:29] Tako**
Oh, Amane, I'll talk to you later, too.
**[14:31] Tako**
Huh?
**[14:38] Amane**
Damn it!
**[14:41] Shun**
I want to give Kirarin partners again!
**[14:44] Tayasu**
But you know what they're like, don't you?
**[14:47] Akari**
Kazanami, do you have a plan?
**[14:51] ---**
Yes.
**[14:52] Shun**
Kirarin's enjoying running solo,
**[14:55] Shun**
but they've gotten too used to it
**[14:57] Shun**
and that's why they couldn't
handle the crowd at the race.
**[15:00] Shun**
So we'll put some stress on
them by using partners...
**[15:04] Akari**
I see.
**[15:07] Akari**
Put some stress on them,
and then let them work it off.
**[15:11] Shun**
Yes.
**[15:12] Shun**
That should give them the
strength to get out of the pack.
**[15:17] Tayasu**
But a partner horse is a big risk.
**[15:21] Tayasu**
One wrong move could put
too much stress on them,
**[15:23] Tayasu**
making them useless as a racehorse.
**[15:26] Shun**
Then we'll move their partners behind,
**[15:29] Shun**
getting them just close enough
to cause a little stress.
**[15:32] Shun**
And then keep doing it.
**[15:34] Tayasu**
But how do we know how close to get?
**[15:38] Shun**
You could tell, right, Kazanami?
**[15:46] Akari**
The timing looks good.
**[15:48] Tayasu**
I'm finally starting to understand
why you assigned him to this.
**[15:52] Akari**
We'll use every resource we have on hand.
**[15:56] Akari**
It's not just Kirarin who's
putting it all on the line.
**[16:02] Yu**
Why won't you talk to Shun?
**[16:05] Kuji**
Sumeragi's given me her instructions.
**[16:08] Yu**
A jockey should only care
about one thing: winning.
**[16:16] Yu**
The derby last year.
**[16:19] Yu**
I finally understand why you
didn't take the lead right away.
**[16:27] Yu**
You knew the horse's personality
**[16:29] Yu**
and decided it was better not
to leave the pack, right?
**[16:32] Yu**
Back then, I was only thinking about
who was where and what they were doing.
**[16:36] Yu**
I wasn't thinking about
the horses' personalities.
**[16:40] Yu**
But Shun tries harder than anyone
to understand a horse's personality.
**[16:44] Yu**
Please trust him!

Another owner who wants to work with us.
**[00:11] Tayasu**
They saw our victory at the Yayoi Sho.

It won't last.
**[00:15] Akari**
Don't take too many cheap
jobs and overload us.
**[00:18] Tayasu**
They say that when the wind's blowing

There are people everywhere

**[00:30] Kikumi**
A word, Mistress?
**[00:32] Akari**
It's about Kisuke's right front leg, right?

Something feels wrong?

Yeah. Nothing feels wrong, just "off."

Should we take x-rays?

**[01:24] Eri**
And I'm stuck in the middle. It sucks.
**[01:28] Eri**
He's getting some good times, right?
**[01:30] Shun**
Yeah. Maybe he knows his
next race is his last one.
**[01:33] Shun**
It's hard to keep him under control,
**[01:35] Shun**
but fun.
**[01:38] Eri**
I wish Amane could hear that.
**[01:42] Shun**
I haven't seen him lately.
**[01:44] Eri**
They won't let him on horseback

You haven't changed a bit, instructor.

Wow! You've got the same

**[04:30] Eri**
I can tell how they feel.
**[04:32] Shun**
Is everybody at Miho doing well?
**[04:34] Asahi**
Of course.
**[04:36] Asahi**
Everyone is all, "It's fine"!
**[04:38] Asahi**
What about you?
**[04:39] Amane**
It stopped being "It's fine"
once I saw my teacher's face.
**[04:43] Asahi**
Amane, you've still got a spicy mouth, I see.

But I've got a present to get
you out of your blue mood.
**[04:54] Shun**
Who's it from?
**[04:56] Amane**
A problem, that's who.
**[05:04] Asahi**
By the way, Arimura.

Yes. He's as fine as ever.
**[05:10] Shun**
Instructor, you know Kuji?
**[05:13] Asahi**
Yes!
**[05:14] Asahi**
He and I were once classmates.
**[05:18] Asahi**
He's the most successful
jockey of our class.
**[05:21] Eri**
Wow, I didn't know that!
**[05:23] Eri**
Was he always the top of the class?

It's my big comeback time at Ritto.
**[06:35] Asahi**
I wanted to get a quick look at your face.
**[06:38] Kuji**
Stop talking like that already.
**[06:40] Amane**
So he's always talked like that?
**[06:42] Asahi**
You got a lot of help from
the horse at the Yayoi Sho.
**[06:47] Kuji**
The way they trained the horse helped.
**[06:50] Asahi**
Yes!
**[06:51] Asahi**
When I went to Sumeragi's place,
they told me the same thing.
**[06:54] Asahi**
Kuji worked with the horse.
**[07:01] Asahi**
By the way, Yu Arimura's got a future, right?
**[07:04] Kuji**
He's got a long way to go.
**[07:06] Kuji**
I need to break his ego a bit
more before he can be useful.
**[07:09] Kuji**
Kids these days grow up spoiled.
**[07:13] Asahi**
You're quite traditional, then.
**[07:15] Kuji**
Former idols, female jockeys...
**[07:18] Kuji**
The foreign kid, he's good,
but I haven't even seen him lately.
**[07:22] Asahi**
Nice point to focus on.
**[07:25] Asahi**
He's still got a ton of problems.
**[07:28] Asahi**
He sees his classmates as rivals.
**[07:32] Kuji**
You wouldn't understand...
**[07:35] Kuji**
How hard it is not to look at the
flashes of light in front of you...
**[07:44] Kuji**
And you dropped out before
I could settle the score.
**[07:47] Kuji**
But...
**[07:47] Kuji**
That's allowed me to focus on my real goal.
**[07:52] Asahi**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[08:04] Tako**
Old articles on Instructor Asahi?
**[08:07] Amane**
Yes. If you have any articles from
when he was a jockey, show them to me.
**[08:10] Tako**
Okay, but...

So soon, right?
**[08:47] Matsumiya**
He was born the year you came here.
**[08:56] Asahi**
That was a long, long time ago.
**[08:59] Asahi**
I did get my wins a little sooner than Kuji,
**[09:03] Asahi**
but it was luck.
**[09:05] Amane**
But Kuji wanted a chance
to settle the score.
**[09:08] Asahi**
You heard that, huh?
**[09:10] Asahi**
Ears on walls and eyes on windows, I guess.
**[09:15] Asahi**
As I see it, Kuji never
cared that much about me.
**[09:19] Asahi**
He was looking far, far ahead.
**[09:25] Asahi**
He's after the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
**[09:27] Asahi**
To be the best in the world.
**[09:29] Asahi**
You were the same, weren't you?
**[09:31] Asahi**

**[09:33] Amane**
You want me to stop seeing
my classmates as rivals?
**[09:36] Asahi**
No.
**[09:38] Amane**
No?
**[09:40] Asahi**
That's not your only problem.
**[09:42] Asahi**
I went to your stable.
**[09:46] Asahi**
The advice of the people
around you, you... rejection?
**[09:51] Amane**
Rejection?
**[09:52] Asahi**
Yes. You reject it.
**[09:54] Asahi**
They said it's a waste that you've got
talent but you don't try to learn.
**[09:59] Amane**
Japanese training styles don't suit me.
**[10:02] Amane**
So many rules.
**[10:04] Amane**
They're not good for
the horse or the jockey.
**[10:10] Amane**
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
**[10:14] Amane**
You're going to tell me
**[10:15] Amane**
to try and get along with everybody,
just like the rest, aren't you?
**[10:20] Amane**
I'm sick of these bullshit rules!
**[10:22] Asahi**
Amane, that's a no, too.
**[10:26] Asahi**
You're a jockey,
**[10:27] Asahi**
and a jockey has to believe
that his own way is best.
**[10:31] Asahi**
Lonely. Selfish. Fighting those around them.
**[10:35] Amane**
Then...
**[10:36] Asahi**
Find the answer here.
**[10:43] Asahi**
For a horse and jockey to fight in a race,
**[10:45] Asahi**
they need the help of a lot of people.
**[10:48] Asahi**
That's what your training this year is about.
Getting close to the horses,
**[10:52] Asahi**
learning how the races work for real.
**[10:55] Asahi**
This is where jockeys learn
that they're not alone.
**[11:00] Asahi**
That's why they can go out
to the races all by themselves.
**[11:03] Asahi**
And when you do,
what will burn in your heart?
**[11:07] Asahi**
Amane. What's your goal as a jockey?
**[11:20] Amane**
Instructor...
**[11:23] Amane**
What did you feel when
you became a jockey?
**[11:27] Asahi**
Nothing.
**[11:31] Asahi**
Nothing at all.
**[11:34] Asahi**
That's why I quit.
**[11:44] Tako**
Just a little more...
**[11:46] Eri**
Tako, stop it!
**[11:49] Eri**
I need to help carry things!
**[11:53] Asahi**
No overbearing reporters.
**[11:56] Tako**
Asahi!
**[11:57] Asahi**
Shimotsuki, run away!
**[11:59] Eri**
Thank you, instructor!
**[12:01] Eri**
Bye, Tako!
**[12:03] Tako**
Wait, Eri!
**[12:08] Tako**
You used to be a jockey.
**[12:10] Tako**
You know how important it is to
be able to deal with the media.
**[12:13] Tako**
You should be helping me!
**[12:16] Asahi**
Sorry!
**[12:17] Asahi**
But keeping my students
safe is what I live for now.
**[12:30] Instructor**
Come in.
**[12:32] Amane**
Excuse me, sir.
**[12:57] Amane**
Yes, sir. Understood.
**[13:00] Yu**
Good run, Amane.
**[13:02] Amane**
Of course.
**[13:04] Amane**
But I'm out of practice.
**[13:06] Amane**
I haven't figured out this horse yet.
**[13:09] Yu**
Your teacher let you on a horse again.
**[13:11] Amane**
Let me? Ridiculous.
**[13:15] Yu**
You were having a polite
conversation with him.
**[13:18] Yu**
Didn't you agree to do what he said?
**[13:20] Amane**
No.
**[13:22] Amane**
I didn't apologize so I
could fit in here in Japan.
**[13:25] Amane**
I did it for my own sake.
**[13:27] Amane**
I'm going to use all these bullshit
rules for my own benefit!
**[13:32] Amane**
I'm done with petty rivalries.
**[13:35] Amane**
My heart is worldwide!
**[13:37] Amane**
Yu Arimura, we can go together,
**[13:40] Amane**
if you're up for it.

It's going well.

He's more tractable than he was.

Do you think he's upset about
being taken off Oak Diamond?
**[13:59] Akari**
He's always had the skills
to back up his talk.
**[14:02] Akari**
We can count on him.
**[14:04] Shun**
Good.
**[14:10] Kikumi**
Okay, that'll do it.
**[14:13] Shun**
Kikumi, can I brush him a little more?
**[14:16] Kikumi**
You really do care for

**[14:20] Kikumi**
Don't go too crazy.
**[14:27] Shun**
There we go.
**[14:34] Miku**
*You look so cool, Kisuke!*
**[14:36] Shun**
It's his last race,
so many people will see him.
**[14:39] Shun**
He needs to look his best!
**[14:44] Shun**
Just a little more!
**[14:45] Shun**
He says he can't wait.
***SIGN*** Hanshin Daishoten
**[15:03] Shun**

**[15:05] Shun**
When it's over, let me ride you!
**[15:08] Kishino**
He looks good.
**[15:10] Sumeragi**
Yes. It appears Kikumi
was worried over nothing.
**[15:14] Kishino**
He's been looking after Kisuke for so long.
**[15:16] Kishino**
Maybe he got a little
overprotective at the end.
**[15:22] Hayashida**
His coat's beautiful.
**[15:24] Hayashida**
Sumeragi did a great job.
**[15:26] Kikumi**
Yeah.
**[15:27] Kikumi**
She knows her stuff.
**[15:29] Shun**
Hayashida, I'm sorry for
our earlier argument.
**[15:32] Hayashida**
Don't worry about it.
**[15:34] Hayashida**
Getting angry just means
it's important to you.
**[15:36] Shun**
I think we can leave Kisuke's
last race to you, right?
**[15:43] Hayashida**
You think so, do you?
**[15:49] Hayashida**
Leave it to me!
**[16:03] Hayashida**
It's raining.
**[16:16] Kishino**
1000 meters to go.
**[16:18] Akari**
Here we go...
**[16:19] Hayashida**
Okay. Push through!
**[16:33] Shun**
Go! Go, Kisuke!
**[16:54] Miku**
What's wrong?
**[16:59] Kikumi**
Now we've done it...
**[17:29] Akari**
Watch Miku.
**[17:32] Shun**
Okay.
**[17:54] Shun**
Miku!
**[18:00] Miku**
Liar...
**[18:04] Miku**
You said Kisuke was ready
for the race yesterday.
**[18:10] Miku**
But his leg hurt, didn't it?
**[18:17] Miku**
Did Kisuke... really want to race?
**[18:23] Miku**
Did you hear his voice?
**[18:30] Shun**
I...
**[18:33] Miku**
You said you'd let me ride Kisuke.
**[18:40] Miku**
You said that!
**[18:46] Miku**
Kisuke...
**[19:24] Eri**
I don't even know what to say.
**[19:26] Amane**
No. The best thing we can do
right now is leave them alone.
**[19:35] Shun**
Morning!
**[19:40] Yu**
Good morning!
**[19:41] Eri**
Morning.
**[19:42] Amane**
Good morning!
**[19:54] Shun**
Kikumi!
**[19:56] Shun**
I'll take the old straw
to the storehouse, okay?
**[20:02] Kikumi**
Okay.
**[20:07] Hayashida**
I'm sorry about what happened.
**[20:10] Hayashida**
Goodbye.
**[20:13] Akari**
Thank you.
**[20:21] Kikumi**
If only I'd been firmer...
**[20:24] Kikumi**
If we'd taken him to a doctor, they might've
found out what was wrong with his leg.
**[20:29] Kikumi**
I'm so sorry!
**[20:32] Tayasu**
It's not your fault.
**[20:34] Akari**
I'm the one who decided to race him,
and suggested we do so to his owner.
**[20:39] Akari**
It's entirely my fault.
**[20:45] Akari**
Kikumi.
**[20:46] Akari**
How's Kazanami?
**[20:48] Kikumi**
Surprisingly, not that
much different than usual.
**[20:52] Kikumi**
I thought he'd be more down.
**[20:56] Tayasu**
Because he's a horseman,
even if he doesn't look it.
**[21:03] Akari**
I hope that's why...
**[21:11] Shun**
Kirarin.
**[21:14] Shun**
What's wrong, Kirarin?
**[21:16] Shun**
You full?
**[21:20] Shun**
Kirarin?
**[21:38] Shun**
Why?
**[21:41] Shun**
Why?
**[21:43] Shun**
Wait!
**[21:54] Kikumi**
It's a cold one out there today, Shun.

That's not true.

You've gotten a lot better!
***SIGN*** Episode 11 The Morning Dew is Far
**[01:41] Reporter**
I can't wait for your debut!
**[01:42] Eri**
I hope you're right.
**[01:44] Eri**
I'll do my best to be a great jockey!
**[01:51] Tako**
You've gotten a lot better
at dealing with the media.
**[01:53] Eri**
I don't know if you should be saying that.
**[01:55] Eri**
But if a lot of articles come
out and people talk about me,
**[01:58] Eri**
I might get access to a good horse!
**[02:02] Tako**
How's Kazanami?
**[02:06] Tako**
What happened with Oak Nature
really hit him hard, huh?
**[02:12] Eri**
He's so hard to read.
**[02:16] Eri**
I just don't know.
**[02:23] Sumeragi**
Thank you.
**[02:28] Yu**
I'm sorry about what happened.
**[02:29] Yu**
Kisuke was a good horse.
**[02:32] Sumeragi**
Part of this job is seeing horses die.
**[02:37] Sumeragi**
We all suffer deeply in our own way.
**[02:40] Sumeragi**
The pain doesn't go away.
**[02:43] Sumeragi**
Kazanami will have to overcome it someday...
**[02:47] Sumeragi**
But maybe he was too close to the horses.
**[02:53] Yu**
Hirato Farms?
**[02:55] Yu**
Shun went there?
**[02:56] Sumeragi**
It's a big farm, in Shizunai in Hokkaido.
**[03:00] Sumeragi**
The owner's wife told me he showed up
there two or three days ago.
**[03:05] Sumeragi**
It's where Kisuke was born.
**[03:07] Sumeragi**
He was supposed to be sent
there after his retirement.
**[03:11] Yu**
And that's why?
**[03:14] Sumeragi**
I don't want to make this a big deal,
**[03:15] Sumeragi**
so for now I'm treating it as a vacation.
**[03:18] Sumeragi**
However, if he doesn't come back soon,
I'll have to contact the Horse Racing School.
**[03:28] Eri**
That's a long way away.
**[03:30] Amane**
Distance means nothing
to Shun Kazanami.
**[03:32] Yu**
I'm going, I think.
**[03:34] ---**
What?!
**[03:35] Eri**
Why?
**[03:36] Yu**
I'll meet him and talk to him directly.
**[03:38] Kuji**
Forget it.
**[03:40] Yu**
Why?
**[03:42] Kuji**
He ran away.
**[03:44] Kuji**
When someone runs away,
you're not obligated to chase them.
**[03:51] Yu**
Shun's not the type of guy to run!
**[03:53] Yu**
There must be some reason!
**[03:55] Kuji**
Who cares if there's a reason?
**[03:57] Kuji**
Somebody like that is no jockey!
**[03:59] Kuji**
Or are you going to quit your job, too?
**[04:02] Amane**
Yu Arimura, go.
**[04:05] Amane**
If you don't go now,
you'll regret it forever.
**[04:09] Amane**
We'll take over your stable duties.
**[04:12] Eri**
Y-Yeah...
**[04:13] Eri**
I'd feel bad if Kazanami quit.
**[04:18] Kuji**
Classmates are just the worst!
**[04:42] Sumeragi**
Kazanami will have to overcome it someday...
**[04:46] Sumeragi**
But maybe he was too close to the horses.

So, this is the place...
**[05:04] Yu**
Hello!
**[05:15] Yu**
Shun!
**[05:17] Shun**
Huh? Yu...
**[05:20] Shun**
What are you doing here?
**[05:23] Shun**
Welcome. There are a lot
of horses here! It's fun!
**[05:27] Yu**
What are you talking about?
**[05:29] Yu**
Everyone's worried sick about you!
**[05:32] Yu**
But you're standing here
with a grin on your face...
**[05:37] Shun**
Calm down, Momo...
**[05:39] Shun**
Don't shout.
**[05:41] Shun**
You're scaring her.
**[05:42] Yu**
You...!
**[05:46] Shun**
What?
**[05:51] Sonoko**
Enough.
**[05:52] Sonoko**
No fussing in front of the horses.
**[06:01] Sonoko**
Sorry for being so rough with you.
**[06:04] Yu**
No, I'm the one who should apologize.
**[06:06] Yu**
You've come a long way.
**[06:09] Yu**
I heard that Shun...
Kazanami was staying here.
**[06:14] Sonoko**
That's right. One of our staff got
hurt and we didn't have a replacement.
**[06:19] Sonoko**
He's a huge help.
**[06:20] Sonoko**
You know we had three
births this winter, right?
**[06:23] Sonoko**
It was so hard!
**[06:26] Sonoko**
We were working like dogs.
Even though we raise horses!
**[06:34] Shun**
I didn't think you'd come, Yu.
**[06:37] Shun**
You're busy training, right?
**[06:39] Yu**
You're busy, too, right?
**[06:42] Yu**
Kirarin's entering the
Satsuki Sho soon, right?
**[06:45] Shun**
Yeah, but...
**[06:51] Masao**
The fences need repairing.
**[06:52] Shun**
Oh, right!
**[06:54] Shun**
I'm going!
**[06:55] Yu**
H-Hello, there.
**[07:00] Masao**
Enjoy your stay.
**[07:05] Shun**
I'm not going back.
**[07:09] Sonoko**
He left the door open again...
**[07:13] Sonoko**
Sorry. My husband's a little
unfriendly sometimes.
**[07:18] Sumeragi**
I see. So you met him. Good.
**[07:22] Tayasu**
Sheesh... He's making
Sumeragi worry so much.
**[07:26] Sumeragi**
He's not coming back?
**[07:28] Yu**
Yes, that's what he said.
**[07:30] Yu**
But I'll bring him back anyway.
**[07:33] Sumeragi**
I see.
**[07:35] Sumeragi**
Arimura, there's something I want you to do.
**[07:45] Masao**
It's broken?
**[07:47] Masao**
Shun, sorry, but can you get
me the spare from the house?
**[07:51] Shun**
Okay.
**[07:52] Yu**
Here, use this.
**[07:57] Shun**
Why did you have it?
**[07:59] Yu**
Sonoko told me to bring it.
**[08:03] Sumeragi**
Don't give him a hard time.
**[08:05] Sumeragi**
Just stay close until he works things
out in his own head, as best you can.
**[08:13] Yu**
Masao, please let me help along with Shun.
**[08:19] Masao**
If that's what you want.
**[08:23] Yu**
Whew.
**[08:26] Yu**
I didn't think it would be this hard.
**[08:28] Shun**
Yeah.
**[08:29] Yu**
I'll be here for a while,
**[08:32] Yu**
so show me the ropes.
**[08:34] Yu**
Next, we're going to help buy feed, right?
**[08:37] Yu**
Okay, let's go.
**[08:38] Shun**
Wait!
**[08:58] Shun**
Momo. You were hungry, huh?
**[09:01] Yu**
This is one of the newborns from the winter?
**[09:02] Shun**
Yeah, she's a real tomboy.
**[09:05] Yu**
That's our Shun.
**[09:06] Yu**
You can even tell what a foal's thinking.
**[09:11] Shun**
No, I can't hear their voices now.
**[09:17] Yu**
What?
**[09:18] Shun**
Yu, watch Momo for a while.
**[09:21] Shun**
I'll go bring the others in from the pasture.
**[09:24] Yu**
Hey!
**[09:29] Sonoko**
When Shun got here?
**[09:31] Yu**
What was he like?
**[09:34] Sonoko**
Well, when we saw him he was
filthy and soaked to the bone.
**[09:39] Sonoko**
He said he came to see Kisuke.
**[09:42] Yu**
Kisuke?
**[09:43] Sonoko**
And then my husband realized
**[09:45] Sonoko**
he was the boy who was leading
Kisuke at the Hanshin Daishoten.
**[09:50] Sonoko**
He thought that maybe he wanted to see the
place Kisuke was supposed to come home to.
**[09:57] Yu/Shun**
Thank you for the food!
**[09:59] Sonoko**
Well, Yu? It certainly wasn't
*foal* tasting, was it?
**[10:04] Sonoko**
Because horses, you know?
**[10:05] Yu**
Yes, it really warmed me up!
**[10:09] Shun**
Sonoko's cooking is so good!
**[10:13] Sonoko**
I know, right?
**[10:14] Sonoko**
Work a lot, then eat a lot!
**[10:17] Sonoko**
It's the secret to health!
**[10:19] Shun**
Yu helped out a whole lot today.
**[10:22] Yu**
Yeah, I've never gotten to
see so many foals before.
**[10:26] Yu**
They're going to be
racehorses someday, right?
**[10:29] Sonoko**
That's right.
**[10:30] Sonoko**
They'll be racing on the turf in two years.
**[10:33] Yu**
I hope I get to ride Momo someday.
**[10:35] Sonoko**
She's got potential! I can't wait
to see what's in store for her.
**[10:39] Sonoko**
Go make a lot of money with her.
**[10:42] Yu**
I'll do my best.
**[10:43] Shun**
Kisuke must've been the same.
**[10:51] Shun**
Kisuke was born here. And did
a lot of runs as a racehorse.
**[10:59] Shun**
If he was alive...
**[11:02] Shun**
he would've spent a lot of time
running around the farm here, right?
**[11:07] Yu**
Shun.
**[11:10] Yu**
Shun, Kisuke is...
**[11:15] Masao**
Farms are where horses are born,
**[11:17] Masao**
not where they go to retire.
**[11:20] Masao**
Kisuke's owner was being kind,
sending him here.
**[11:24] Masao**
But that's not what usually happens.
**[11:30] Shun**
I'm sorry.
**[11:33] Sonoko**
Hey, what's wrong with you?
**[11:35] Sonoko**
Sorry, Shun!
**[11:36] Sonoko**
The bath's ready, kids. Go on.
**[11:55] Yu**
Um...
**[11:57] Yu**
About what happened...
**[11:59] Yu**
He really cared about Kisuke.
**[12:03] Yu**
He couldn't get over his death...
that's why he came here.
**[12:09] Yu**
Shun said he can't hear the
horses' voices anymore.
**[12:14] Yu**
I thought that if he could hear
them again, he'd come back.
**[12:18] Yu**
That we could ride horses together again!
**[12:30] Masao**
I don't know what the horses think.
**[12:34] Masao**
But if he truly can speak
to them in their hearts,
**[12:38] Masao**
I can let him meet Kisuke again.

Good morning.

Momo's walk course isn't...

Okay...
**[13:59] Shun**
Kisuke...
**[14:00] Shun**
She does it after she eats
breakfast sometimes.
**[14:05] Shun**
Just like her brother.

Momo shares a father with Kisuke.

They're siblings.

I have to accept it.
**[15:01] Shun**
But...
**[15:03] Shun**
I can't...
**[15:05] Shun**
I can't keep it from hurting me.
**[15:09] Shun**
I'm going to see a lot of horses die...
**[15:14] Shun**
And I can't... I can't keep it
**[15:18] Shun**
from hurting me.
**[15:23] Yu**
It's okay if it hurts you.
**[15:28] Yu**
You don't have to get used to it.
**[15:31] Yu**
You can be sad.
**[15:34] Yu**
But you can't give up!
**[15:38] Yu**
I don't know what's right,
**[15:42] Yu**
but I decided I would live in this world,
**[15:47] Yu**
so I have to keep moving forward!
**[15:50] Shun**
What should I do?
**[15:54] Yu**
Only you can decide.
**[15:57] Yu**
But...
**[15:59] Yu**
You like racing...
**[16:02] Yu**
You like horses, don't you?
**[16:31] Shun**
Kisuke...
**[16:36] Shun**
Kisuke!
**[16:52] Shun**
Thank you...
**[16:58] Yu**
Shun.
**[17:02] Shun**
Yu.
**[17:04] Shun**
Let's go home.
**[17:14] Yu**
You're okay now, right?
**[17:17] Shun**
Yeah.
**[17:20] Sonoko**
We'll miss you.
**[17:23] Masao**
When they get back, I hope they
don't just horse around...
**[17:27] Masao**
B-Because horses, you know...
**[17:31] Sonoko**
Haaay!

Thank you for everything

**[18:13] Matsumiya**
You did a great job working

There's still a lot I wish

**[19:57] Tayasu**
It was a busy year.
**[19:59] Tayasu**
You did a lot of things
I've never seen in my data.
**[20:02] Shun**
Um... I'm sorry for the trouble.
**[20:05] Tayasu**
No, you helped me get new data.
**[20:09] Sumeragi**
Kazanami.
**[20:10] Shun**
Yes?
**[20:11] Sumeragi**
I don't think all the things you
learned here were good for you.
**[20:19] Sumeragi**
I gave you a heavy responsibility,
and put you through a lot.
**[20:27] Sumeragi**
I'm sorry.
**[20:32] Shun**
That's not true!
**[20:35] Shun**
I had a wonderful time at this stable!
**[20:39] Shun**
I met so many horses! Rode so many horses!

**[01:34] Nohira**
There will be eight mock races
using the school's horses,
**[01:37] Nohira**
in conditions as close to
a real race as possible.
**[01:40] Nohira**
The last one will be your graduation race,
and be held on graduation day.
**[01:44] Nohira**
Also, the horse you ride may not be
the one you're usually assigned to.
**[01:50] Asahi**
Your placement in the first seven races will
have no impact on your grades or license,
**[01:57] Asahi**
but think of them as real races,
not lessons. Take them seriously.
**[02:02] All**
Yes, sir!
**[02:03] Sojiro**
Instructor, will we have a
crowd for any of our races?
**[02:07] Nohira**
The seventh race is on February 1st,
**[02:10] Nohira**
just before the Tokyo Racetrack's
Sansai Mishori race.
**[02:13] Nohira**
You'll be showing your skills
in front of a huge crowd.
**[02:18] Sojiro**
Yahoo!
**[02:20] Aki**
You can't perform your best
without an audience, huh?
**[02:22] Eri**
Kota's probably going to get scared, right?
**[02:25] Kota**
I'll just ride in my own way, that's all.
**[02:28] Eri**
I see.
**[02:31] Amane**
It's finally showtime.
**[02:33] Amane**
Get ready.
**[02:35] Shun**
For what?
**[02:37] Amane**
For losing to me.
**[02:39] Yu**
I'll ride like I always do.
**[02:41] Amane**
Yu Arimura, that's what
I don't like about you.
**[02:47] Shun**
I can't wait!
***SIGN*** Kota Maki
***SIGN*** 1st Mock Race
**[03:14] Yu**
You're really thorough.
**[03:15] Shun**
Yeah. Everyone will be watching.
**[03:19] Shun**
Okay, you're handsome.
**[03:24] Shun**
Don't tire yourself out today.
**[03:26] Shun**
When you do, you turn toward the side.
**[03:30] Yu**
You can hear his voice?
**[03:32] Shun**
Not at all.
**[03:33] Shun**
But you can tell a lot from expressions
and the way they move, you know.
**[03:38] Yu**
Everyone tries that, but...
**[03:43] Shun**
It was really hard!
**[03:52] Sojiro**
Crap!
**[03:55] Amane**
Hey!
**[03:56] Amane**
I'll be going on ahead!
**[03:58] Shun**
Okay, I'm going with you!
**[04:02] Aki**
Hey! Out of the way!
**[04:04] Sojiro**
Hey!
**[04:05] Sojiro**
It's okay.
**[04:06] Sojiro**
Take it easy.
**[04:08] Sojiro**
Not that easy!
**[04:12] Eri**
It's different when there's
people around you!
**[04:14] Eri**
Amane and Kazanami are really impressive!
**[04:16] Yu**
Because they only think about themselves.
**[04:18] Eri**
Can I catch up?
**[04:20] Eri**
They're going too fast!
**[04:21] Yu**
* I guess, in a real race,*
* it doesn't go how you expect.*
**[04:26] Yu**
*Kota's having a rough time, too.*
**[04:30] Amane**
For heaven's sake!
**[04:31] Shun**
That horse has no stamina!
**[04:34] Shun**
You can't run it hard all the time!
**[04:37] Aki**
Okay, I've caught up!
**[04:41] Aki**
Not that way!
**[04:44] Shun**
You have to know how the horse feels!
**[04:52] Asahi**
This is about what I expected.
**[04:54] Tako**
They're different than usual.
**[04:57] Nohira**
In a real race, the people around you
don't behave like you want them to.
**[05:01] Nohira**
The point of these mock races is
to learn how to deal with that.
**[05:06] Tako**
I see, I see!
**[05:10] Shun**
Good work. You must be tired.
**[05:13] Sojiro**
I messed up at the start!
**[05:16] Aki**
You threw me off my pace!
**[05:18] Amane**
No, boar boy. It was your own fault.
**[05:21] Aki**
What?
**[05:22] Eri**
What should I have done better?
**[05:26] Yu**
Kota, you couldn't get Rice Kate to move?
**[05:29] Kota**
No, I couldn't find the
right time to move ahead.
**[05:34] Kota**
But...
**[05:36] Kota**
I learned a lot.
**[05:41] Sojiro**
Good thing our placement doesn't
affect our grades, though!
**[05:45] Aki**
If we flunked over one bad race,
that would suck.
***SIGN*** 2nd Mock Race
**[05:57] Tako**
Is there anything you're trying
to accomplish with this race?
**[06:00] Eri**
I want to ride at my own pace and not
get distracted by the people around me.
**[06:04] Sojiro**
What a good question!
**[06:06] Sojiro**
I want to stop HORSING around,
so I don't mess up like last time.
**[06:11] Sojiro**
Get it?
**[06:14] Sojiro**
You can laugh now!
**[06:15] Tako**
There's that trademark Sakuraba wit!
**[06:23] Eri**
I won't let Arimura get ahead!
**[06:25] Aki**
He got out of the gate too fast!
I can't keep up!
**[06:29] Sojiro**
What about us? I guess it's up to your mood.
**[06:34] Amane**
Shun Kazanami, that was a slow start for you.
**[06:38] Amane**
Expecting a fast pace?
**[06:40] Shun**
No, that's not it.
**[06:43] Shun**
My horse just doesn't seem to be into it.
**[06:46] Amane**
Hey! You waiting for your chance, too?
**[06:48] Kota**
Nope. I'm going now.
**[06:59] Sojiro**
Now! This is my chance!
**[07:02] Kota**
You came, too?
**[07:03] Aki**
Of course!
**[07:04] Eri**
What? You interrupted my interview.
Don't interrupt my race, too.
**[07:08] Sojiro**
I'm sorry for the media that
are hoping you place first,
**[07:11] Sojiro**
but I want some attention, too.
**[07:15] Kota**
*Now!*
**[07:17] Eri**
He's out of energy already?
**[07:19] Sojiro**
That's right.
**[07:20] Sojiro**
I bet Arimura's horse is tired as well.
**[07:22] Yu**
You think so? Then try me!
**[07:24] Sojiro**
He's still got strength?
**[07:28] Yu**
Yes!
**[07:32] Yu**
Kota?
**[07:32] Kota**
Arimura, let's race!
**[07:38] Kota**
I started my spurt more slowly,
so I've got the advantage!
**[07:51] Aki**
Nice work.
**[07:54] Kota**
Thanks.
**[07:56] Kota**
You did well until the big spurt,
**[07:58] Kota**
but you'd exhausted yourself by then.
**[08:02] Aki**
Like you knew I would, huh?
**[08:04] Aki**
You really are...
**[08:11] Eri**
That was close, Arimura.
**[08:13] Yu**
Yeah.
**[08:15] Eri**
Kota's good.
**[08:17] Eri**
Like he knew all our habits.
**[08:21] Sojiro**
He did know all our habits.
**[08:24] Sojiro**
Kota, you knew Eri would run
out of gas halfway, right?
**[08:29] Kota**
Yeah. She would've done better
not to be first out of the gate.
**[08:34] Kota**
And Arimura's horse was in good shape,
**[08:37] Kota**
but he sprinted at the wrong time.
**[08:42] Amane**
You've got them at their ouch points.
**[08:44] Kota**
Your horse was in okay shape, too.
**[08:47] Kota**
That horse just isn't
good at taking commands.
**[08:50] Amane**
What? It's not?
**[08:52] Kota**
It was listening to Kazanami
when he rode it.
**[08:56] Shun**
Yes. That's right.
**[08:58] Amane**
Then tell me!
**[09:01] Kota**
I heard Ritto gave you a lot
of chances to ride horses,
**[09:06] Kota**
but I guess I expected too much.
**[09:13] Nohira**
Maki, you've got an interview
for your first place win.
**[09:15] Kota**
Okay!
**[09:19] Eri**
Harsh...
**[09:25] Amane**
What's that jerk's problem?
**[09:32] Aki**
He's the one who changed the
most at the training center.
**[09:36] Aki**
The jockeys who trained
him were really harsh.
**[09:40] Aki**
He got chewed out daily and got stronger!
**[09:42] Sojiro**
He was always a horse-riding
otaku who knew a lot,
**[09:45] Sojiro**
and a good observer.
**[09:48] Sojiro**
He quickly learned what
they had to teach him.
**[09:53] Sojiro**
It's clearly given him confidence and guts.
**[09:59] Shun**
Wow! That's great.
**[10:02] Amane**
He finally became an athlete.
**[10:05] Amane**
He's not the only one who
learned at the training center.
**[10:10] Yu**
*So that's it...*
**[10:12] Yu**
* Kota watched everyone*
* during the first race*
**[10:15] Yu**
* and used that to his*
* advantage in the second!*
**[10:23] Yu**
He was always a step ahead of us.

**[11:47] Asahi**
He keeps a broad perspective.
**[11:50] Asahi**
He sees the whole race.
**[11:52] Nohira**
I hope he inspires the others.
**[11:55] Asahi**
This race is still only at the third corner.
**[11:57] Asahi**
Will Maki run away with it,
or will someone overtake him?
**[12:01] Asahi**
I can't wait to see what these
kids have in store for us.
**[12:11] Kota**
You're looking for the Japan Cup
from three years ago, right?
**[12:16] Kota**
You want to use it to help you go over
the patterns from the last race, right?
**[12:20] Kota**
I saw it, too.
**[12:23] Kota**
If you want to look at the opposite patterns,
**[12:26] Kota**
you might want to look at this race.
**[12:29] Yu**
Thanks.
**[12:32] Yu**
That's amazing.
**[12:33] Yu**
If you've got all these races in your head,
I can see why we can't beat you.
**[12:41] Kota**
I'm not getting first place
because I memorize races.
**[12:48] Kota**
I'm not like all of you.
**[12:53] Yu**
Not like us?
**[12:56] Kota**
Right?
**[12:58] Kota**
Sojiro will get a job as a jockey
from his dad's stable, someday.
**[13:04] Kota**
Aki's dad might be from the countryside,
but he has plenty of connections.
**[13:08] Kota**
You're a former idol.
Shimotsuki's a girl.
**[13:14] Kota**
And Kazanami and Amane
are natural geniuses.
**[13:23] Kota**
But if I don't win,
nobody will care about me!
**[13:29] Kota**
If you don't have an advantage,
you have to work hard.
**[13:35] Kota**
Even if it ends up being meaningless...
**[13:41] Kota**
I have to win first place,
or nobody will find me!
**[13:49] Yu**
I'd like to think I'm working hard, too.
**[13:57] Kota**
This means more to me than it does to you.

You look pretty pissed off.
**[14:38] Yu**
Kuji?
**[14:39] Yu**
What are you doing here?
**[14:41] Kuji**
Takechi, the guest jockey, is out sick.
**[14:44] Kuji**
So I got called in his place.
**[14:46] Yu**
I see.
**[14:48] Kuji**
Anyway, I heard you got overtaken
right in front of the goal.
**[14:53] Yu**
I misjudged how long I could sprint.
**[14:56] Kuji**
I thought you were better at reading horses.
**[15:06] Kuji**
There's more to riding
than just the race itself.
**[15:24] Kota**
*Behind me...*
**[15:36] Nohira**
Kazanami's out front again.
**[15:38] Nohira**
Maki's in the back.
**[15:39] Nohira**
That'll form the basis of this race, I guess.
**[15:42] Asahi**
We'll have to see how they move.
**[15:46] Asahi**
There might be a little chaos now.
**[15:50] Sojiro**
This is frustrating.
**[15:52] Aki**
I can't figure this out...
**[15:53] Aki**
I have to target somebody!
**[15:55] Eri**
I can't just let him run away with this!
**[16:05] Kota**
*Even Arimura's dropping back.*
**[16:07] Kota**
*They're all scared of wasting energy.*
**[16:10] Kota**
*They're not going after Kazanami.*
**[16:12] Kota**
*This is bad.*
**[16:13] Kota**
*I guess I'll go.*
**[16:17] Amane**
*Nobody can move, huh?*
**[16:20] Amane**
If you wimps aren’t moving, I will!
**[16:24] Eri**
Really?
**[16:25] Amane**
I won't exhaust myself, of course.
**[16:28] Amane**
I've just got no interest
in a boring race like this!
**[16:32] Sojiro**
* I see... Instead of just*
* staring at each other,*
**[16:34] Sojiro**
*whoever pushes the war of attrition...*
**[16:37] Eri**
*...might find the path to the win!*
**[16:39] Aki**
*Okay, here we go!*
**[16:44] Nohira**
They've started moving.
**[16:46] Tako**
To me, the race looks like a mess.
**[16:49] Asahi**
They're all aiming for it...
**[16:58] Shun**
They're all here.
**[16:59] Shun**
I was feeling good, too.
**[17:02] Sojiro**
You're not going, Kota?
**[17:04] Kota**
I prefer it this way.
**[17:05] Kota**
We're in the best possible spot.
**[17:08] Sojiro**
So it's down to you and me, huh?
**[17:11] Kota**
Yeah.
**[17:12] Kota**
It's up to the horses' stamina, I guess.
**[17:16] Amane**
Kazanami, I won't let you get away!
**[17:20] Shun**
It's going to be hard, but hang in there!
**[17:27] Kota**
*They've started going at it.*
**[17:29] Kota**
*Now we’re just waiting for our timing...*
**[17:34] Kota**
*He broke first.*
**[17:36] Kota**
*Arimura's fast, but he won't last!*
**[17:40] Kota**
*I'll go at the fourth corner!*
**[17:42] Nohira**
Isn't Arimura going too fast?
**[17:46] Asahi**
What's he doing?
**[17:48] Tako**
Is he?
**[17:50] Aki**
No! I can't keep up!
**[17:52] Eri**
I can't catch my breath! But...
**[17:56] Yu**
*I've saved my stamina as best I can.*
**[18:00] Yu**
*Now... I just wait here!*
**[18:04] Tako**
Yu stopped.
**[18:06] Asahi**
He meant to!
**[18:08] Nohira**
Yeah. Now, it's on to the straight!
**[18:11] Nohira**
Maki, what will you do?
**[18:16] Kota**
*A little more...*
**[18:19] Kota**
Now! Go!
**[18:26] Aki**
There he is!
**[18:36] Kota**
*They blocked me...*
**[18:38] Kota**
*To the left, then!*
**[18:44] Yu**
You're wasting your time, Kota.
**[18:46] Kota**
Arimura?
**[18:48] Yu**
Your horse has stamina, sure.
**[18:52] Yu**
But if you get blocked and have to slow down,
**[18:55] Yu**
you're finished!
**[19:03] Tako**
Yu went for it!
**[19:05] Nohira**
I get it! Nice!
**[19:07] Asahi**
He cut off Maki's approach
to stop his sprint, huh?
**[19:12] Asahi**
Checkmate.
**[19:26] Kuji**
Nice.
**[19:29] Yu**
Thank you.
**[19:31] Kuji**
You did a great job picking your positions.
**[19:33] Yu**
I was told that Amane's horse would
go to the side when he got tired.
**[19:41] Kuji**
I see.
**[19:43] Kuji**
So you worked together, in a way.
**[19:45] Yu**
I hadn't seen that habit in any races before,
**[19:49] Yu**
so I figured Kota wouldn't know it.
**[19:52] Kota**
No, I didn't know.
**[19:55] Kota**
You got me this time.
**[19:57] Yu**
It was a good race.
**[20:00] Kota**
I won't lose next time.
**[20:04] Amane**
Hey, how does it feel after you dissed Ritto?
**[20:09] Amane**
Hey!
**[20:10] Sojiro**
Amane, knock it off.
**[20:12] Aki**
He's seriously upset.
**[20:35] Kota**
He outsmarted me!
**[20:36] Kota**
Damn it! Damn it!
**[20:50] Amane**
Yu Arimura, why did you get close to me then?
**[20:53] Yu**
I cut off the path I knew he would follow.
**[20:57] Eri**
What if he'd gone this way, then?
**[20:59] Yu**
No, Kota wouldn't do that.
**[21:06] Sojiro**
Seriously? That was his plan?
**[21:08] Kota**
He totally got me.
**[21:10] Kota**
He's got a pretty face, but he can be nasty.
**[21:12] Aki**
I heard Arimura was a secret sadist once.
**[21:17] Kota**
But now I have more to look forward to!
**[21:24] Asahi**
Everyone's studying, huh?
**[21:26] Asahi**
Looks like Arimura shook things up.
**[21:31] Nohira**
They're finally serious about winning.
**[21:36] Nohira**
Jockeys need more than talent.
**[21:41] Nohira**
They need to win.
**[21:46] Asahi**
It's going to be a fun year.
**[21:48] Nohira**
All we can do is guide them.
**[21:53] Asahi**
Let's get to work guiding them, then.

**[00:46] Yu**
Congrats, Amane.
**[00:49] Amane**
Thank you, Yu Arimura.
**[00:51] Amane**
I finally feel like I've come
into my own as a jockey!
**[00:54] Yu**
Amane...
**[00:58] Amane**
Is that what you thought I'd say?
**[01:01] Amane**
If this is the best riding I can do,
**[01:03] Amane**
competing at a world level
is a dream within a dream!
**[01:09] Amane**
Listen, wimps!
**[01:12] Amane**
I'm not planning on being a jockey in Japan!
**[01:15] Amane**
I'm going to use this place as a
stepping stone to the wider world!
**[01:19] Amane**
You can stay here as
frogs in your little pond!
**[01:22] Amane**
If you want to fight me, be world class!
**[01:26] Amane**
I'll be waiting for you!
**[01:30] Eri**
Amane's speech style has started
to match the instructor's.
**[01:34] Aki**
That's his biggest bad influence...

**[02:23] Aki**
Come with me for a sec.
**[02:28] Aki**
I've always wanted to say
something to you.
**[02:35] Aki**
I knew you were prejudiced
against me and Sojiro.
**[02:40] Aki**
Yes, my dad is a jockey
out in the countryside.
**[02:43] Aki**
You thought I was blessed, right?
**[02:51] Aki**
I'll admit it's true.
**[02:53] Aki**
But so what?
**[02:57] Aki**
You don't have the right to say a damn thing!
**[03:00] Aki**
You have the way you fight,
**[03:04] Aki**
and we have ours!
**[03:09] Kota**
I know that!
**[03:11] Kota**
And... not being blessed is
a weapon on its own, you see.
**[03:17] Kota**
We'll never see eye to eye.
**[03:21] Kota**
But I'll never lose to you! That's all!

Well, I haven't won yet...
**[04:14] Eri**
But my horse this time is one I've
ridden a lot since my first year.
**[04:19] Eri**
I hope I can show you how
well we work together!
**[04:24] Tako**
Okay, looks good. Thanks.
**[04:26] Eri**
Was that a little stiff?
**[04:29] Eri**
Want to do it again?
**[04:30] Tako**
It was fine!
**[04:32] Tako**
I'll be showing it alongside your

**[04:36] Tako**
I'll get the other kids later.
**[04:38] Asahi**
Okay!
**[04:41] Asahi**
Good work, Miss Shimotsuki.
**[04:44] Eri**
I hope it doesn't make me look
worse than if I'd done nothing.
**[04:49] Asahi**
It's fine.
**[04:51] Eri**
But a lot of people will be watching.
**[04:54] Asahi**
No, Shimotsuki.
**[04:58] Asahi**
It's true that you're bringing a
lot of attention to horse racing,
**[05:01] Asahi**
but that's not your problem.
**[05:04] Eri**
But the reporters are
coming because I'm here...
**[05:08] Asahi**
That's going way, way too far.
**[05:12] Asahi**
Don't force yourself to carry
unnecessary burdens.
**[05:16] Asahi**
Nobody needs you to.
**[05:18] Asahi**
Once, there was a jockey who got bigger
articles written about him than Kuji.
**[05:23] Asahi**
But the instant he quit, the articles
went down to minimum size.
**[05:27] Asahi**
Now, few people even
know he's an instructor.
**[05:32] Asahi**
But that's just because he's not that good.
**[05:35] Asahi**
He didn't deserve the big articles.
**[05:40] Asahi**
Who you are doesn't
equal horse racing.
**[05:43] Asahi**
You're still just you!
**[05:45] Eri**
I'm just me.
**[05:47] Asahi**
Yes!
**[05:48] Asahi**
So, if you're not worthy of the attention
you're getting right now, what do you do?
**[05:53] Eri**
I'll go train!
**[05:54] Eri**
I need to go make a lot of money!
**[05:58] Asahi**
Excellent!
**[06:04] Waitress**
Here you go.
**[06:07] Waitress**
Enjoy yourselves.
**[06:09] Sojiro**
Thanks!
**[06:15] Hayato**
Even this place is your territory?
**[06:17] Sojiro**
We just got to know each other.
**[06:19] Sojiro**
She says she'll watch the
broadcast of the race.
**[06:24] Hayato**
Kota's gotten a lot better.
**[06:27] Sojiro**
You're watching?
**[06:29] Hayato**
You all ride like pros.
Way better than before.
**[06:34] Hayato**
Your time at the training center paid off.
**[06:37] Sojiro**
I guess so.
**[06:40] Sojiro**
How's your studying going, Hayato?
**[06:43] Sojiro**
My dad set me up at a prep school.
**[06:46] Sojiro**
I'll be able to take college
entrance exams next year.
**[06:49] Sojiro**
Until then, I'm studying hard.
**[06:51] Sojiro**
Nohira's a good guy, huh?
**[06:53] Hayato**
He promised to help me out
until I get into college.
**[06:57] Hayato**
It's nice to have a dad around
when things get rough.
**[07:01] Sojiro**
It's got its good and bad sides.
**[07:04] Hayato**
Once I'm in, it's up to me.
**[07:08] Hayato**
Studying to be a vet takes money,
**[07:11] Hayato**
and it ain't easy.
**[07:15] Sojiro**
It's the same for people and horses, huh?
**[07:18] Hayato**
But I won't give up.
**[07:20] Hayato**
When I was at the Horse Racing School,
I was working as hard as I possibly could.
**[07:27] Hayato**
Experiencing that was a big help.
**[07:30] Sojiro**
Yeah.
**[07:39] Sojiro**
Someday, you'll be looking after
my horse at Miho or Ritto.
**[07:44] Hayato**
That's years away.
**[07:48] Sojiro**
But you know,
**[07:50] Sojiro**
having you in the same business as me
**[07:54] Sojiro**
makes me happy.
**[08:03] Hayato**
I think I understand why girls like you.
**[08:08] Sojiro**
What does that mean?
**[08:09] Hayato**
Never mind.
**[08:10] Sojiro**
What? Now I'm curious!

When I first met you...
**[09:42] CEO**
You had strong-willed eyes
that I can never forget.
**[09:46] CEO**
I made you into an idol so that
those eyes would have a home,

and you've more than lived

Your eyes had an effect on people.

That's why you became a top idol.
**[10:05] CEO**
And now you're giving people dreams
as a jockey instead, that's all.

is that I'm not a jockey.

**[17:53] Yu**
So I need something to help
