There are those who take it quite seriously!

Now follow in the footsteps of the pioneers
who upheld the quiz bowl craze long ago!

[02:24] Shiki
Quiz king? What is that?
[02:27] Shiki
And who is this huge guy?
[02:29] Gakuto
Give this a try.
[02:31] Gakuto
You try it, too.
[02:33] Gakuto
And you two.
[02:34] Gakuto
Here. Try this.

Sasajima! Back off!

[02:39] Guy
New students, join the baseball team!
[02:43] Shiki
It's my second day of high school.
[02:45] Shiki
And today is the day the battle between
the school clubs for new students begins.
[02:50] Shiki
This is a world that I,
Koshiyama Shiki, don't belong in...
[02:57] Shiki
Quiz, huh?
[03:10] Guy
Kuroda? From the Nishi
Middle basketball team?
[03:12] Guy
Still playing in high school, too?
[03:14] Kuroda
You better believe it!
[03:16] Kuroda
My first goal is to take nationals!
[03:18] Teacher

[03:22] Teacher
So what did you all think about
yesterday's entrance ceremony?
[03:26] Teacher
Three years of high school may
seem long now, but it'll fly by.
[03:30] Teacher
You can focus solely on your studies,
[03:32] Teacher

would I have worked hard at some club, too?

100-Question Paper Quiz
[03:45] Shiki
A paper quiz?
[03:51] Shiki
What in the world?
They're all quiz questions?
[03:53] Shiki
So people who like quizzes get together and
spend their time answering quiz questions?
[03:57] Shiki
Is that supposed to be fun?
[04:00] (Flashback) Gakuto
Don't you want to become a quiz king?
[04:02] Shiki
And that guy was part of it?
[04:05] Shiki
I'm not sure I want to...
[04:06] Teacher
We'll spend first period choosing
your class representatives.
[04:10] Teacher
Let's start with the class officers...
[04:11] Shiki
Question 1.
[04:13] Shiki
Japan's Three Non-Nuclear Principles are "to
neither possess, manufacture, nor..." what?
[04:18] Shiki
"Introduce." That's common sense.
[04:21] Shiki
Question 2... Let's see...
[04:23] Shiki
"I think, therefore I am" is a quote by...
Descartes, of course.
[04:27] Shiki
What desert in Africa is the
largest hot desert in the world?
[04:32] Shiki
Even elementary school kids know that.
SIGN Introduce René Descartes Sahara Desert
[04:36] Shiki
"As Gregor Samsa awoke one
morning out of restless dreams"
[04:40] Shiki
is the opening line of which
novel by Franz Kafka?
[04:44] Shiki
Well, I guess some of these are
fairly specialized questions,
[04:47] Shiki
but if even I know the answers,
this must be pretty low-level...
[04:52] Teacher
Next up, librarians.
We'll need one boy and one girl.
[04:55] Teacher
Any volunteers?
[04:58] Shiki
Here... Here... Here, here... Here...
[05:02] Inoue
Sure, I'll do it.
[05:05] Teacher
All right, Inoue Daisuke. It's all yours.
[05:08] Shiki
But I was the class librarian through
all three years of middle school!
[05:13] Girl
Did you see that?
[05:14] Girl
I guess he wanted to do it.
[05:19] Teacher
Now, how about a girl?
[05:22] Mari
Me.
[05:23] Teacher
A volunteer?
[05:25] Mari
Yes. I'm Fukami Mari.
[05:28] Sashi
Does she like books, too?
[05:31] Guy
Fukami-san's really pretty, huh?
[05:33] Guy
Looks like you got some side perks.
[05:34] Inoue
Man, quit teasing me!
[05:37] Shiki
Whoops, that was close.
[05:39] Shiki
If I'd gotten the same
job as the popular girl,
[05:42] Shiki
I'd never hear the end of it.
[05:48] Shiki
Our eyes met!
[05:50] Shiki
Oh...
[05:52] Shiki
I ended up answering all the quiz questions.
[05:56] Shiki
This might not be a bad way to kill time.
[06:00] Shiki
No, no, no, no! No way!
[06:05] Guy
Let's hit the school shop.
[06:07] Girl
I'll push our desks together.
[06:08] Guy
Seriously?
[06:11] Girl
He should just speak up.
[06:13] Girl
Isn't he lonely?
[06:15] Girl
Don't!
SIGN Library
[06:37] Shiki
They have a lot of minor series, too.
[06:41] Shiki
There are so many more genres than
the middle school library had!
[06:46] Shiki
The library is where I got my start.
[06:48] Shiki
Ever since elementary school, I've spent
more time reading than playing with friends.
[06:54] Shiki
I didn't want to play with the kids who
called me "shrimp" and "dunce," anyway.
[07:00] Shiki
It was just the only way I
knew to have fun on my own.
SIGN Buzou Prefectural Library
[07:04] Shiki
Since my mom worked at
the library, I spent every day
[07:07] Shiki
there reading until she got off work.
[07:11] Shiki
In middle school, I became
the class librarian.
[07:13] Shiki
By then, I was nothing but a bookworm.
[07:16] Shiki
I used to read a lot of classical literature and non-fictional works back then...
[07:22] Shiki
It stimulated my imagination and
opened up new worlds before me.
[07:26] Shiki
But I was never able to find any friends
to share the joy of reading with.
[07:32] Shiki
I thought that was fine, though.
[07:36] Shiki
Of course, it meant I had no
connection to any girls, either...
[07:46] Mari
Let's see...
[07:48] Shiki
Isn't she the class librarian, Fukami-san?
[07:55] Shiki
Wait, does she even see me?!
[08:00] Shiki
U-Um, watch—
[08:01] Mari
Huh?
[08:08] Shiki
A-Are you o—
[08:10] Shiki
Oh!
[08:11] Shiki

[08:13] Teacher
Everything okay?
[08:14] Mari
I-I just tripped! That's all!
[08:20] Teacher
No running!
[08:24] Teacher
You can't eat your lunch here!
[08:26] Shiki
I'm sorry!
[08:27] Shiki
Man, that startled me...
[08:31] Shiki
Forget about that!
[08:32] Shiki
My safe haven will be tainted
with this crazy memory!
[08:37] Shiki
Is this Fukami-san's?
[08:43] Shiki
What are these marks?
SIGN ...long house / is known as...
SIGN ...refer to betting money / on a single...
SIGN ...marks left / behind in the snow...
[08:50] Guy
And finally,
[08:52] Guy
the best perk of being in
the hardball tennis club
[08:55] Guy
is that you get to see sights like this
at the girls' court next to ours!
[08:56] ---
There!
[08:58] ---
There!
[08:59] Shiki
So wrong...
[09:01] Guy
And that concludes the introduction
of all the school clubs.
[09:04] Shiki
Me getting in to a sports club is a joke,
[09:06] Shiki
but I'm not that interested
in the culture clubs, either.
SIGN Welcome, New Students!
[09:10] Guy
Next, we'll introduce the
school associations.
[09:13] Guy
Here's the quiz bowl circle. Go ahead.
[09:16] Shiki
Oh, the quiz king...
[09:18] Gakuto
Ah. Test, test.
[09:20] Gakuto
I'm the president of the quiz bowl
circle, Sasajima Gakuto, second-year.
[09:26] Gakuto
Who wants to go to New York?!
[09:33] Gakuto
There was once a quiz show by that
name on TV. Do you remember it?
[09:37] Gakuto
It was, indeed, a world in which
people competed in quiz bowl.
[09:42] Gakuto
Even today, there is a major quiz
show called High School Quiz,
[09:46] Gakuto
in which high school students engage
in a heated competition every year.
[09:51] Gakuto
Any high school student may participate.
[09:55] Gakuto
Quiz bowl, as everyone knows,
[09:58] Gakuto
is a game anyone can play where
one simply answers questions to win.
[10:02] Gakuto
However, adding a competitive
aspect makes it a sport.
[10:06] Shiki
A sport? Quiz bowl?
[10:09] Gakuto
The first step is to experience quiz bowl.
[10:12] Gakuto
Hence this impromptu quiz meet!
[10:15] Gakuto
The first six to raise their
hands will get to participate!
[10:18] Gakuto
The true thrill of quiz bowl is
competing to buzz in the fastest!
[10:21] Gakuto
Nothing can match the rush that
comes from pressing this buzzer!
[10:25] Shiki
Where do they even sell those things?
[10:27] Guy
Me, me! I wanna do it!
[10:30] Guy
Yeah, me too!
[10:32] Mari
Here.
[10:34] Shiki
Fukami Mari?
[10:36] Gakuto
Please come up to the stage.
[10:38] Mari
R-Right.
[10:40] Shiki
She looks so meek,
[10:43] Shiki
but she's so assertive!
[10:47] Shiki
I could never do that.
[10:49] Gakuto
In the interest of time,
[10:51] Gakuto
I'll select the remaining three
participants at random.
[10:54] Gakuto
Class A, female, student number 6.
[10:57] Girl
What?!
[10:57] Gakuto
Class C, female, number 8.
[10:58] Girl
You're kidding! No way!
[10:59] Gakuto
Class D, male, number 11.
[11:02] Kuroda
Koshiyama, isn't that you?
[11:04] Kuroda
Class D, male, student number 11.
I'm number 10.
[11:08] Shiki
Huh?
[11:09] Shiki
What?! I have to go up there?!
[11:13] Shiki
With all these people watching?!
[11:16] Shiki
I can't! I can't! I can't! I can't!
[11:18] Shiki
This isn't even funny!
SIGN Flail
SIGN Flail
[11:24] Shiki
How did this happen?
[11:30] Shiki
And the mood up here is so awkward...
[11:33] Gakuto
Question.
[11:35] Gakuto
"Avril" in French, "aprile" in Italian, and
"April" in English refer to which month?
[11:43] Shiki
April?
[11:46] Guy
April!
[11:47] Gakuto
Correct, but that was terrible!
[11:49] Guy
Huh?
[11:50] Gakuto
You didn't do it right at all.
[11:51] Gakuto
You weren't taking it the
least bit seriously.
[11:54] Gakuto
You could have buzzed in much faster!
[11:56] Guy
Uh... Well...
[11:58] Gakuto
The key to being the fastest finger
is just what it sounds like:
[12:00] Gakuto
to move your finger the fastest!
[12:03] Gakuto
If you don't earn the right to respond,
you can't give the right answer!
[12:06] Shiki
I get what he's saying, but...
[12:09] Gakuto
Question.
[12:10] Gakuto
There are stars on the American flag—
[12:13] Shiki
That was fast! Someone pushed it already?
[12:15] Girl
The Stars and Stripes.
[12:17] Girl
Huh?!
[12:18] Gakuto
There's more to the question.
[12:21] Gakuto
There are stars on the American flag,
one for each state. How many are there?
[12:27] Gakuto
The correct answer is 50.
[12:30] ---
A trick question?
[12:33] Gakuto
Some questions are very straightforward,
[12:35] Gakuto
but others can't be answered until
you hear the complete question.
[12:38] Gakuto
You must be careful.
[12:39] Shiki
See? You have to listen until
the end before you can answer.
[12:44] Gakuto
From this point on, try using
your imaginations more.
[12:48] Shiki
As in try to predict the
last part of the question?
[12:51] Gakuto
Here's the question.
[12:53] Gakuto
The nation with the largest
land area is Russia,
[12:57] Gakuto
and the nation—
[12:59] Shiki
The nation... with the
second largest land area?
[13:03] Shiki
Second is Canada, and third is America...
[13:06] Gakuto
...with the smallest land area is which?
[13:09] Shiki
Vatican City!
[13:11] Guy
Vatican City!
[13:12] Gakuto
Correct.
[13:13] Guy
Yes!
[13:14] Shiki
So it was the opposite of the largest!
[13:18] Shiki
I know the answers, but...
[13:23] Mari
Are you new to fast buzzing?
[13:27] Shiki
Uh... It's my first time.
[13:30] Mari
If you buzz after you know the
answer, you'll be too late.
[13:33] Mari
Fast buzzing can determine the winner
by a margin of 0.01 seconds.
[13:37] Shiki
R-Right...
[13:39] Mari
There's no time to waste
on thinking things over.
[13:43] Shiki
Wh-What is she talking about?
[13:45] Shiki
She volunteered for this, but she
hasn't pressed the buzzer once!
[13:50] Shiki
N-No, her panties have
nothing to do with this!
[13:58] Shiki
Her face changed...
[13:59] Gakuto
Question.
[14:01] Gakuto
French for "flash of lightni—"
[14:08] Gakuto
Please give your answer.
[14:12] Mari
Éclair.
[14:13] Gakuto

[14:18] Gakuto
Question.
[14:19] Gakuto
"Et tu, Brute—"
[14:21] Mari
Julius Caesar.
[14:23] Gakuto
Correct.
[14:25] Shiki
Wait...
[14:25] Gakuto
Question.
[14:26] Gakuto
"Jumping flea—"
[14:28] Mari
Ukulele.
[14:29] Gakuto
Correct.
[14:31] Shiki
Wait a minute... How does she know
what the question's going to be?
[14:39] Mari
What? I'm not cheating, okay?
[14:43] Shiki
I-I wasn't...
[14:45] Mari
There's a point in questions you can answer
early where the answer becomes certain.
[14:50] Mari
Of course, these have all
been really basic questions.
[14:53] Shiki
Points? Basic?
[14:56] Gakuto
Question.
[14:57] Gakuto
The three great festivals of Kyoto—
[14:59] Shiki
Whoa, that was fast!
[15:00] Shiki
Wait, it wasn't Fukami-san!
[15:02] Guy
Yes! I got it!
[15:03] Gakuto
Please give your answer.
[15:05] Guy
Oh...
[15:06] Guy
Um...
[15:07] Gakuto
The time limit is five seconds.
[15:10] Guy
No, that—
[15:12] Gakuto
An interesting answer, but incorrect.
[15:15] Shiki
That rattled me.
[15:18] Gakuto
I will read the question one more time.
[15:21] Gakuto
The three great festivals of Kyoto are...
[15:23] Shiki
The three great festivals of Kyoto are
[15:25] Shiki
the Gion Festival, the Festival of
Ages, and the Hollyhock Festival.
[15:28] Gakuto
...May's Hollyhock Festival, Jul—
[15:30] Shiki
"Jul"? That'll be July, the Gion Festival!
[15:33] Shiki
So the only answer remaining is...
[15:35] Mari
The Festival of Ages.
[15:36] Gakuto
Correct.
SIGN ..."to neither possess, ma/nufacture, nor..." what?
[15:40] Shiki
So that's it...
SIGN ...orange, gr/een, and...
[15:41] Shiki
I'm starting to get it now!

SIGN ..."to neither possess, ma/nufacture, nor..." what?
...three elements of music are melody, rhy/thm, and...
...orange, gr/een, and what?
...cannot move are the bi/shop and what?
[15:44] Shiki
What should I do? Should I try to buzz in?
[15:47] Shiki
I want to try answering!
[15:48] Gakuto
Now, let's try some harder questions.
[15:51] Shiki
Harder?
[15:53] Shiki
What's important is to
earn the right to answer.
[15:56] (Flashback) Mari
Fast buzzing can determine the winner
by a margin of 0.01 seconds.
[16:00] (Flashback) Mari
There's a point in questions you can answer
early where the answer becomes certain.
[16:04] Shiki
If I can predict the question,
[16:05] Shiki
I'll have five seconds
to answer after buzzing.
[16:08] Shiki
There should be time to think about it then.
[16:12] Gakuto
Question.
[16:13] Gakuto
"I fell in love. This was something new."
[16:18] Shiki
I did it! I buzzed!
[16:20] Mari
Wait, he knows this one? Was it intuition?
[16:25] Gakuto
Please give your answer.
[16:28] Shiki
I know this! It's the opening
line of that novel!
SIGN ...by which French author?
[16:32] Shiki
There were other literature questions
like this on that paper quiz, too!
SIGN ...which novel by Franz Kafka?
SIGN ...which female Heian Period author?
[16:37] Shiki
If this question is also looking
for the title or author,
[16:40] Shiki
which is it?
[16:41] Gakuto
Three seconds.
[16:43] Shiki
If this is really a "hard" question...
[16:46] Gakuto
Two.
[16:49] Shiki
The answer is...
SIGN eniemeG saD
[16:52] Shiki
1}Das Gemeine*!
[17:00] Gakuto
Correct!
[17:04] Gakuto
This is the opening line of which
literary work by Dazai Osamu?
[17:08] Gakuto
The answer is Das Gemeine*.
[17:09] Gakuto
I'm impressed you knew such
a lesser-known title!
[17:12] Shiki
Everyone's really looking at me now...
[17:15] Guy
Sasajima, you're running over!
[17:19] Gakuto
Just when it was getting good...
[17:22] Gakuto
You! What's your name and class?
[17:24] Shiki
Uh... Class D, K-Koshiyama.
[17:28] Gakuto
Then let's give a hand to Koshiyama-kun
for answering the last question!
[17:41] Gakuto
In quiz bowl, your age, sex,
and physique are irrelevant.
[17:45] Gakuto
The more you participate, the more
knowledge and experience you gain.
[17:49] Gakuto
That's true for everyone!
[17:52] Gakuto
That's right! Anyone can
take part in quiz bowl!
[17:57] Gakuto
Nailed it.
[17:59] Guy
And that was the quiz bowl
circle's introduction.
[18:03] Teacher
They say quiz bowl is popular
in theological schools lately.
[18:08] Teacher
Come to think of it, that boy,
[18:09] Teacher
Sasajima-kun, transferred here last year.
[18:12] Teacher
From Kaijou High School, I believe.
[18:20] Shiki
Oh, man... My heart is still racing.
[18:23] Shiki
I can't believe I did something
so new in front of that crowd.
[18:27] Shiki
But...
[18:28] Shiki
The moment I pressed that
buzzer felt really good.
[18:34] Mari
Quiz buzzers are surprisingly easy to break,
[18:36] Mari
so try not to press them too hard.
[18:41] Mari
Um, when I tripped in the library...
[18:46] Shiki
I-I'm sorry! That was—
[18:48] Mari
Did I drop that paper
with the quiz questions?
[18:51] Shiki
Huh? Oh...
[18:53] Shiki
Th-That's right. I forgot.
[18:56] Shiki
Here.
[19:01] Mari
Did you look up these answers somewhere?
[19:05] Shiki
Oh, wrong one!
[19:07] Shiki
Here's yours! That one's mine!
[19:10] Mari
Thanks.
[19:12] Shiki
You know...
[19:14] Shiki
I didn't understand what those
little marks were at first.
[19:19] Shiki
But...
[19:20] Shiki
Are they to mark the points
you talked about earlier?
[19:23] Shiki
Where the answer to the question is certain?
[19:26] Mari
Huh?
[19:27] Shiki
S-Sorry if I'm wrong.
[19:30] Mari
You... really are smart, aren't you?
[19:36] Shiki
No, I don't think...
[19:38] Mari
When you answered the last question,
[19:40] Mari
how did you know the title
would be the right answer?
[19:43] Shiki
Oh, because the president said
it'd be a hard question.
[19:47] Shiki
Rather than its famous author, the title
of a minor work is more... well...
[19:52] Shiki
I figured that would be harder to answer.
[19:55] Mari
Did you say that was your first quiz match?
[19:58] Shiki
Yeah, of the fast buzzing kind.
[20:01] Mari
Y-You're forgiven for seeing my panties!
[20:04] Shiki
Where'd that come from?!
[20:06] Mari
But in return...
[20:08] Mari
Join the quiz circle with me!
[20:11] Shiki
Wh-Wh-What is she saying?!
[20:15] Mari
It was your first quiz match,
but in such a short time,
[20:18] Mari
you managed to get the hang of quiz bowl.
[20:21] Mari
And the knowledge you have...
[20:24] Mari
Even if I'd heard that last question
to the end, I couldn't have buzzed.
[20:30] Mari
I didn't know the answer!
[20:32] Shiki
What? I didn't just beat her to the buzzer?
[20:36] Mari
Same with this paper quiz.
[20:38] Mari
There were several questions
I didn't know the answers to,
[20:42] Mari
but you answered almost all of them!
[20:44] Mari
Your abundant knowledge and quick thinking
[20:47] Mari
will be amazing weapons!

I believe you can become the quiz king!

Koshiyama-kun, congratulations
on your quiz debut!
[22:39] Shiki
Th-Thank you.
[22:40] Gakuto
This may surprise you, but "7O3X"
is also a quiz bowl term.

Fukami-kun, do you know what it means?
[22:47] Mari
Yes! Get seven right and you win,

but get three wrong and you fail.
[22:51] Mari
It's a basic rule of quiz bowl!

That's right! The path to victory is steep!
[22:56] Gakuto

I finally caught you!

Why haven't you been coming here lately?

I've been waiting for you!

It felt great, didn't it?

Did you forget that already?

It was your first time, wasn't it?
[00:18] Mari
Anyone would want to keep doing it more...

after getting a correct answer
like that in quiz bowl!
[00:27] Shiki
It's not so much quiz bowl...

I haven't really given much

I was kind of pushy about it,

Here.
[04:18] Mari
The area of exposed skin

Th-There's a name for that?
[04:30] Mari
As I suspected.
[04:31] Mari
You like books, but you're not an otaku.
[04:35] Shiki
Wh-What's the answer?
[04:37] Mari
Absolute territory.
[04:40] Shiki
Absolute... territory?
[04:42] Mari
You know how guys like a teasing
hint more than full nudity?
[04:45] Mari
In certain circles, it's one of the
most potent aspects of moe culture.
[04:50] Shiki
I had no idea...
[04:51] Shiki
Absolute territory...
[04:53] Mari
You won't find it.
[04:56] Mari
The way you crave more knowledge makes
you even more suited for quiz bowl.
[04:59] Shiki
S-Straight to that topic again...
[05:02] Mari
Exchanging quiz questions and answers
with others is fun, isn't it?
[05:06] Mari
I played with my friend that way
in middle school all the time.
[05:10] Shiki
Your friend?
[05:12] Mari
Yeah.
[05:14] Mari
We ended up in different
high schools, though.
[05:18] Mari
I hope we can do quiz bowl
together again someday.
[05:21] Shiki
A friend who shares the same hobby, huh?
[05:24] Shiki
Maybe I should've joined
the literature club.
[05:27] Mari
Wait!
[05:29] Mari
Don't make that your answer yet!
[05:31] Mari
At least not until after today's meet!

Oh. He's from "certain circles."

and sock length have a
ratio of 4 to 1 to 2.4.

It makes no difference whether you're

[07:21] Chiaki
The reason there are so

[08:44] Shiki
A buzzer test?
[08:58] Inoue
Wow, that's kinda cool.
[09:00] Gakuto
The buzzer test verifies that
all the buzzers are working,
[09:05] Gakuto
and gives the players a
feel for the buzzers.
[09:07] Gakuto
It's an indispensable ritual
conducted before every match.
[09:11] Gakuto
It can also be called the
signal to begin the match.

Fukami-san was buzzing in, but...
[09:52] (Flashback) Mari
Fast buzzing can determine the winner
by a margin of 0.01 seconds.
[09:56] Shiki
So this is what she meant by
a margin of 0.01 seconds.
[09:59] Gakuto
One of the techniques for buzzing
in at least 0.01 seconds faster
[10:03] Gakuto
is called "pushing in."
[10:05] Shiki
Pushing in?
SIGN Play
SIGN Conducting Part
[10:06] Gakuto
In every buzzer is a contact point and a
conducting part that makes the light go on,
[10:11] Gakuto
and the slight gap between
them is called the "play."
[10:14] Gakuto
Pushing the button down in advance
until just before it closes that gap
[10:19] Gakuto
is "pushing in."
[10:21] Inoue
I bet I'd accidentally
push it all the way down.

And now we have our three advancers.
[12:00] Gakuto
That's the end of the first group.
[12:02] Mari
Sasajima-senpai, how was my buzzing?
[12:05] Gakuto
Not bad.
[12:06] Gakuto
You seem to excel at classics,
but that won't be enough.
[12:10] Gakuto
The second round is sure to be harder.
[12:13] Shiki
Um... What are "classics"?
[12:18] Inoue
I want to know that, too.
[12:20] Gakuto
They're also known as fundamental
or tired questions.
[12:25] Gakuto
They're questions that frequently appear
in quiz meets and question collections.
[12:29] Shiki
Huh?
[12:30] Inoue
Oh, I get it.
[12:31] Mari
No, you don't.
[12:33] Mari
They may be common questions,
but they'd be hard for you two.
[12:36] Mari
The crux of fast buzzing
is how quickly you can
[12:39] Mari
narrow down an answer using every
word of the question as hints.
[12:43] Shiki
Right... The marks she had
made on her question sheet!
[12:47] Gakuto
But the earlier in the meet you are,
SIGN The _____ of _____ is _____, but
the _____ of _____ / is what?
[12:49] Gakuto
the more likely you are to get classic
questions with simple construction.
[12:52] Gakuto
Which means the more possible patterns
you know, the greater your advantage.
SIGN The _____ are ___,
/ ___ and what?
[12:56] Gakuto
If you don't know the pattern,
SIGN From the _____ word for , / a
_____ is known by what name?
[12:58] Gakuto
you can't choose the right point
in the question to buzz in.
[13:00] Mari
And all of the most common
questions start out the same way.
[13:05] Inoue
H-Hang on!
[13:06] Shiki
This is way too much to take in so soon.
[13:09] Mari
You're right. Sorry.
[13:12] Mari
To summarize, the first thing to do
in quiz bowl is memorize the classics.
[13:20] Shiki
We don't know the classics at all.
[13:22] Shiki
Aren't we at a huge disadvantage here?
[13:27] Niina
Okay, let's do the buzzer test.
[13:35] ---
Here it comes!
[13:41] Miku
You pressed it too soon.
[13:43] Niina
There's no need to rush. Go ahead.
[13:50] Shiki
He sighed?!
[13:51] Miku
Might as well get this over with fast.
[13:54] Guy
Question.
[13:56] Guy
When asked, "Why climb—
[13:57] Miku
Mallory?
[13:59] Guy
Correct.
[14:00] Shiki
That was fast! He almost
got it just from "why"!
[14:03] Niina
Wow, we started off with one of the
most overused questions of all, huh?
[14:08] Niina
When asked, "Why climb the mountain?",
[14:10] Niina
which English mountaineer
answered, "Because it's there"?
[14:15] Niina
As soon as you hear "Why climb,"
you know it's George Mallory.
[14:18] Niina
Remember that, everyone!
[14:21] Miku
That's beyond overused. It's almost scripted.
[14:23] Shiki
What kind of quiz bowl insider info is that?

Still, he got the correct answer.

Question.

Mikuriya-kun of Miyaura High School passes
the first round after the first five questions!
[15:03] Inoue
He's so good, it's creepy.
[15:06] Shiki
The official name of the Ramsar Convention is
[15:09] Shiki
the "Convention on Wetlands of International
Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat."
[15:14] Shiki
He buzzed in after "Convention on Wetlands."
[15:17] Shiki
Were all those other questions classics
like the "why climb" one, too?
[15:22] Shiki
If I know the answer, but can't buzz
because I don't know the question...
[15:26] Mari
He was pretty bold with his buzzer.
[15:28] Gakuto
He buzzed slightly before
the determining point.
[15:31] Gakuto
It's a tactic worth using as
long as there's no penalty.
[15:34] Shiki
With Mikuriya through,
there are two spots left.

are different ways of asking them, too.

But who was the first regent?"
[07:00] Inoue
I can't even read what Koshiyama wrote.
[07:03] Gakuto
He wrote "Prince Morikumi."
[07:05] Gakuto
He heard "first shogun," so he answered
with the ninth and last shogun.
[07:09] Maruyama
How did Mikuriya know that answer?
[07:11] Ashiya
It's all about accentuation.
[07:13] Ashiya
"Parallel questions" are a type of question in
which a word given as a hint in the first half
[07:17] Ashiya
is changed in the second half
[07:19] Ashiya
to ask a different, but related, question.
[07:22] Ashiya
But sometimes, the person
reading the question
[07:25] Ashiya
will actually emphasize
the keyword as a hint.
[07:28] Ashiya
Since he placed emphasis on "shogun,"
[07:30] Ashiya
Mikuriya predicted that the second
half would ask for "the first something."
SIGN The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate was Minamoto no Yoritomo.

He scares me, and I'm on his team.
[07:46] Ashiya
And the way he shows no mercy to newbies
shows his lack of maturity as a quizzer.
[07:51] Mikuriya
Not even letting the others
hear the whole question

just prefaced the question.
[08:27] Mari
That's why he didn't emphasize
any particular word.

"Mary Westmacott" was the

when she wrote romance novels, so that
readers wouldn't confuse them for mysteries.
[09:48] Inoue
Isn't that a correct answer too, then?
[09:51] Gakuto
The question asked which mystery
author created Poirot.
[09:55] Gakuto
It is still judged as being incorrect.

What is this feeling?
[09:59] Shiki
I've never felt like this before.
[10:02] Chiaki
What a tantalizing expression.

Question.
[10:56] Nakazawa
The 19th Century musician, Liszt, was known
as the "magician of the piano." But who—
[11:03] Mikuriya
That was blatant.
[11:05] Shiki
That was a funny way to read the question.
[11:08] Shiki
If it's asking a separate
question in the second part,
[11:11] Shiki
then riffing off of "magician,"
maybe it'll be "poet"?
[11:14] Shiki
Or is it the "magician of the violin"?
[11:17] Shiki
If only I could have heard
a "p" or "v" before he buzzed in...
[11:22] Shiki
The way he read it...

Yes.
[11:58] Shiki
I was right!

[12:02] Shiki
Did Mikuriya-kun notice how it was read?
[12:05] Mikuriya
He's finally caught on...
[12:08] Ashiya
An accentuation, huh?
[12:09] Ashiya
It wasn't easy to make an accurate guess
from the way he read that, though.

SIGN A Single Bright Flower in the Greenery

They're easy questions,
but I'm making them harder...
[13:05] Shiki
Easy?
[13:07] (Flashback) Gakuto
The earlier in the meet you are,
[13:08] (Flashback) Gakuto
the more likely you are to get classic
questions with simple construction.

SIGN Pomegranate
[13:30] Shiki
I was right! My prediction was right!
[13:33] Niina
The complete question was,
[13:35] Niina
"A lone woman in a group of men is
known as a 'single bright flower.'
[13:39] Niina
In the Wang Anshi poem, said to
be the origin of this phrase,
[13:43] Niina
what kind of flower was the
'single bright flower'?"
[13:45] Yuki
He wasn't getting anything right before...
[13:50] Niina
And we've arrived at the last question!
[13:52] Niina
It's a close race to make
it into the top three!
[13:55] Shiki
The end already?
[13:57] Sasaki
I'm in second. I'm guaranteed to advance.
[13:59] Sasaki
I just need to hold my position.
[14:01] Kouzuki
I need to avoid buzzing and
just go for the single point.
[14:04] Kouzuki
But if Maririn gets three
points, I'll drop below her!
[14:08] Mari
I need to buzz in and get three
points to get into third place.
[14:11] Mari
That's my only chance to win!
[14:12] Shiki
What kind of question will be next?
[14:14] Shiki
Will I get to buzz again?
[14:15] Mikuriya
What's the point in getting
all serious about this?
[14:18] Nakazawa
Question.
[14:20] Nakazawa
Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment" can be
found in the Sistine Chapel. But Da—
[14:25] Shiki
Mikuriya-kun?!
[14:26] Sasaki
I thought he wouldn't bother
buzzing on this one!
[14:31] Shiki
After he said "Da," I think I heard
him forming the sound of a "v"...
[14:36] Shiki
The statue of David!
[14:37] Shiki
It fits with Michelangelo,
so it has to be right!
[14:40] Shiki
This is the answer!
[14:41] Shiki
The statue of David is in the
Galleria dell'Accademia!
SIGN Galleria dell'Accademia
[14:44] Niina
The correct answer is
Santa Maria delle Grazie!
SIGN Santa Maria delle Grazie
[14:47] Shiki
What?!
[14:49] Niina
The rest of that question was,
[14:50] Niina
"But da Vinci's 'The Last Supper' can
be found in which church in Milan?"
[14:56] Shiki
It wasn't David, but da Vinci?!
[14:59] Shiki
And they're even called "The Last
Judgment" and "The Last Supper"!

[15:19] Mikuriya
What's the problem? I wanted to buzz in.
[15:23] Mari
Congratulations, Yukicchi!
You have to win now!
[15:26] Yuki
Yeah! Those two seem really
good, but I'll give it my best shot!
[15:30] Shiki
I think I understand why people care
so deeply about quiz bowl now.
[15:36] Shiki
I've only taken part in a few quizzes,
[15:38] Shiki
but every time I do one,
[15:39] Shiki
I start to see a world I never knew before.
[15:42] Gakuto
Koshiyama, you'll need to
start with the basics.
[15:46] Gakuto
There was no way David would be
the answer to that last one.
[15:49] Gakuto
I know I'd never ask
a question like that, though.
[15:52] Shiki
Oh...
[15:53] Gakuto
There's no connection between paintings
and sculptures, nor chapels and museums.
[15:58] Gakuto
There's no artistry in a parallel like that!

Question.
[17:01] Nakazawa
Known as "The Abbey,"
[17:03] Nakazawa
the church in London that houses
the graves of Newton and Darwin,
[17:07] Nakazawa
and where many British monarchs
have had their coronations—
[17:11] Mikuriya
Westminster Abbey.
[17:12] Niina
Correct!
[17:14] Shiki
After hearing all that,
even I knew the answer.
[17:17] Shiki
That question was longer
than the ones in round 2.
[17:21] Shiki
I guess Mikuriya-kun waited to hear
most of the question before buzzing
[17:24] Shiki
because no clear hints were
given until the very end.
[17:29] Nakazawa
Question.
[17:30] Nakazawa

The Ring of the Nibelung,
[17:51] Nakazawa
what word from Norse mythology
signifies the—
[17:54] Mikuriya

[17:56] Shiki
The Ring of the Nibelung is an
epic performed over four nights.
[18:01] Shiki**
The prelude is The Rhinegold*.
[18:02] Shiki
The first night is The Valkyrie.
[18:04] Shiki
The second night is Siegfried...
[18:07] Mikuriya
Another word that originated from*
Norse mythology is "Valkyrie"...
[18:11] Maruyama
Oh? Is Mikuriya about to get his
first wrong answer of the day?
[18:15] Shiki
The third night, the final
act, is Twilight of the Gods*.
[18:19] Shiki
In the end, the final battle*
between the gods and the giants
[18:21] Shiki
turns everything into a sea of fire,
[18:23] Shiki
and the world meets its end.
SIGN The World's End

Q: Made famous as the theme of Wagner's
The Ring of the Nibelung, what word from Norse
mythology signifies the end of the world
and means "Twilight of the Gods"?
[19:07] Mikuriya
Ragnarok was the correct answer, wasn't it?
SIGN A: Ragnarok
[19:09] Niina
Yeah, it was.
[19:11] Mikuriya
He arrived at the right answer before I did!
[19:15] Shiki
Um... I'm sorry.
[19:18] Gakuto
It's my fault for not teaching
you the proper etiquette.
[19:22] Shiki
No, it's obvious to anyone that
I shouldn't have shouted the answer out.
[19:26] Gakuto
The only ones allowed to answer are
those who have earned the right to.
[19:30] Gakuto
Reacting in a way that
suggests you know the answer
[19:33] Gakuto
and pretending to press a buzzer
button are inappropriate.
[19:36] Shiki
I'm sorry.
[19:38] Gakuto
Do you want the right to answer?
[19:40] Shiki
Huh?
[19:41] Gakuto
If you do, improve your technique,

Thanks for coming today!

When I thought about quiz bowl,
what jumped into my head
[20:36] Shiki
was that it was a place where all kinds
of pointless trivia came in handy.

When I was able to predict the rest
of a question or buzz in first,

I really did feel happy. But more so...

[20:55] Mari
I guess he lives in this direction, too.
[21:00] Mari
You think he's in a bad mood?
[21:04] Shiki
It must be because I put a
damper on his big competition.

Did you decide about joining our circle?
[21:11] Mari
After today, I realized that
I'm no good at this stuff at all.

All these things I never had before,

things I never knew...
[22:19] Shiki
things like fun, happiness, frustration...
[22:23] Shiki
and being able to share

a real championship yet!
[22:53] Shiki
I'm not ready to be in a

[06:34] Gakuto
"Win," eh?
[06:37] Gakuto
You can't.
[06:39] Gakuto
There's no need for quiz bowl
that you play only to win.
[06:42] Mari
What does that mean?
[06:44] Mari
Isn't winning by getting the right answers
what competitive quiz bowl is about?
[06:49] Gakuto
Yes, the nature of competition is
to determine a winner and a loser.
[06:52] Gakuto
Fukami-kun, do you like quiz bowl?
[06:55] Mari
Of course.
[06:56] Gakuto
Then why concern yourself
with winning or losing?
[07:02] Shiki
This is kind of unexpected.
[07:03] Shiki
As passionate as Sasajima-senpai
is about quiz bowl,
[07:06] Shiki
I thought he'd be determined to win.
[07:12] Mari
I love it. That's why I don't want to lose.
[07:14] Gakuto
I see. Then let me rephrase that.
[07:18] Gakuto
You three don't yet need quiz
bowl that's only about winning!
[07:22] Gakuto
Before you worry about winning and losing,
[07:23] Gakuto

[07:46] Shiki
Before I worry about defeating others,
I want to defeat quiz bowl itself.
[07:51] Mari
Quiz bowl itself?
[07:54] Shiki
I'm a complete beginner who
knows nothing about quiz bowl.
[07:58] Shiki
Being unable to answer
when I know the question
[08:01] Shiki
and answering wrong make me frustrated.
[08:03] Shiki
I want to remember questions I answered
wrong so I can get them right next time.
[08:07] Shiki
It's just like you said, Fukami-san.
[08:09] Shiki
After I got a correct answer like that,
[08:12] Shiki
I want to learn more about quiz bowl,
[08:14] Shiki
and I want to answer more questions.
[08:17] Shiki
I want to give correct answers.
[08:20] Shiki
That's... what I think.
[08:23] Mari
Koshiyama-kun...
[08:25] Inoue
Well, it's true that we don't know
any classic questions or anything.
[08:29] Inoue
I couldn't do a thing when they asked those.
[08:31] Shiki
Y-Yeah, exactly!
[08:33] Mari
Classics...
[08:34] Mari
Senpai, do we still have these?
[08:36] Gakuto
Of course.
[08:38] Gakuto
This is a set of 300 class
questions that I chose.
[08:41] Shiki
The most common questions, right?
[08:43] Mari
I think they're just the
right level for beginners.

[08:46] Gakuto
Let me be clear that simply memorizing
all these is not the answer.
[08:50] Gakuto
You need to understand the
structure of the questions
[08:52] Gakuto
and become accustomed to
how they're introduced.
[08:54] Shiki
Structure?
[08:55] Inoue
Introduced?
[08:57] Gakuto
You want to know?
[08:58] Both
Yes!
[08:59] Gakuto
There are several ways to
categorize quiz bowl questions.
[09:03] Gakuto
One of them is "straight or parallel."
[09:08] Shiki
Straight or parallel?
[09:10] Gakuto
The most standard format is
the "straight question."
[09:13] Gakuto
They begin with a subtle hint,
[09:15] Gakuto
and the range of possible answers
becomes increasingly smaller.
[09:20] Gakuto
Maybe that's too complicated for beginners.

[09:49] Gakuto
No.

[09:52] Gakuto
I rented those.
[09:55] Gakuto
I was really on edge when you pounded

[09:59] Gakuto
Aside from being rentals,
those things are expensive!
[10:02] Mari

I'm looking for one now.
[10:19] Gakuto

Okay.
[10:23] Gakuto
Question.

and October's Festival of what?
[10:32] Mari

SIGN Q: The three great festivals of Kyoto are May's Hollyhock Festival, July's Gion Festival, and October's Festival of what? [Festival of Ages]
[10:40] Gakuto
The three elements of music and the three
obligations of all citizens fit this category.
[10:45] Mari
The first syllable of the second item in
the list is the determining point, right?
[10:49] Inoue
Oh...
[10:49] Gakuto
Next question.
[10:52] Gakuto
French for "flash of lightning,"

[11:08] Gakuto
Question.
[11:10] Gakuto
"As Gregor Samsa awoke one
morning out of restless dreams"
[11:14] Gakuto
is the opening line of which
novel by Franz Kafka?
[11:19] Shiki
Yes! It's me!
[11:20] Inoue
Damn it, Koshiyama!
You pulled the calculator to you!
[11:22] Shiki
No, I didn't!
[11:24] Mari

[11:25] Gakuto
Koshiyama.
[11:26] Shiki
The answer is The Metamorphosis.
SIGN Basic Question Structures Straight or Parallel Numerated Format Foreign Language First Line
[11:28] Gakuto
Correct.
[11:29] Gakuto
Novels with memorable first lines
unlike those of other works
[11:33] Gakuto
are often the subject of
"first line questions."
SIGN Q: "Because of a hereditary recklessness, I have been playing always a losing game since my childhood" is the first line of which Natsume Soseki novel? [Botchan]
[11:35] Shiki
Like Das Gemeine, too?
SIGN Q: "I fell in love. This was something new." is the first line of which literary work by Dazai Osamu? [Das Gemeine]
[11:36] Gakuto
Yes.
[11:37] Inoue
I don't know any of this stuff.
[11:39] Inoue
Aren't there any that work for me?
[11:41] Gakuto
And in addition to these types of
straight questions, there's this.

[11:47] Gakuto
Questions in which the first and second half
[11:49] Gakuto
are connected by words
such as "and" or "while,"
[11:52] Gakuto
where the question asked is something
different from that given the first half
[11:54] Gakuto
are called "parallel questions."
[11:57] Shiki
I've struggled with those a lot...
[11:59] Gakuto
Question.
[12:00] Gakuto
In anime "CV," the abbreviation used for voice actors, "C" stands for "character,"
[12:05] Gakuto

[12:07] Inoue
Yes!
[12:08] Inoue
This is the one I got before!
[12:10] Inoue
Voice!
[12:11] Gakuto
Correct.
[12:12] Inoue
Score!
[12:13] Gakuto
Parallel questions can have
complicated structures, so be alert.
[12:17] Inoue
Memorizing structures using
classic questions, huh?
[12:20] Shiki
So even if we encounter a
question that isn't so common,
[12:22] Shiki
we can make use of this.
[12:24] Gakuto
Of course, memorizing the classics
themselves is highly worthwhile, too.
SIGN Q: When asked, "Why climb the mountain?", which English mountaineer answered, "Because it's there"? A: George Mallory
[12:28] Gakuto
Some of them, like "why climb,"
have become fixed questions themselves.
[12:33] Inoue
Fixed questions?
[12:34] Gakuto
Even among the classics,
[12:36] Gakuto
questions whose wording
remains constant every time
[12:39] Gakuto
flow naturally, giving neither too
much nor too little information.
[12:42] Gakuto
You could say they are among the most
complete questions in quiz bowl.
[12:45] Shiki
I get it. Complete, huh?
[12:47] Shiki
Yeah, it does seem like a lot of classic
questions draw interest to themselves.
[12:52] Mari
I know what you mean!
They seem hard at first,
[12:55] Mari
but you've actually learned them in
school or as some bit of trivia!
[12:59] Gakuto
Exactly.
[13:01] Gakuto
Questions that can draw the
interest of those answering
[13:04] Gakuto
survive through the ages without
ever being weeded out.
[13:08] Gakuto
Since they're asked all the
time, everyone knows them.
[13:10] Gakuto
And since everyone knows them,
they're asked all the time.
[13:13] Gakuto
That repetition makes them classics.
[13:16] Gakuto
You could say that classic questions
carry the very history of quiz bowl!
[13:21] Inoue
Classic questions are awesome!
[13:23] Shiki
I feel like I've had a glimpse of history
along with quiz players' love for quiz bowl!
[13:29] Mari
Senpai, give us the next question!

[14:33] Chiaki
Move more lightly, using your full bodies.
[14:35] Chiaki
Buzzing in is a sport.
[14:37] Both

[14:37] Chiaki
Why the listless responses?
[14:40] Chiaki
As one of the few quiz bowl teams
from an all girls' school,
[14:43] Chiaki
and as students of Asagaoka,

we should act in a way that
doesn't bring shame upon us.
[14:46] Yuki
Here she goes again.
[14:47] Chiaki
Last week's meet at Sekigawata
should have been very inspiring.

I guess the one to keep an eye
on is Mikuriya-kun from Miyaura.
SIGN Mikuriya

[15:06] Kenmochi
I thought Sekigawata's club
president was amazing.
[15:09] Yuki
Huh?
[15:10] Kenmochi
Watching him look out for his junior
was like watching two close brothers.
SIGN Niina

[15:14] Kenmochi

[15:56] Yuki
You really had me worried
at that last quiz meet.
[15:59] Yuki
You kept glaring at me in the beginning.
[16:01] Yuki
I thought you saw me as an enemy.
[16:02] Mari
Not at all. Just as a rival.
[16:05] Mari
You're smarter than me, after all,
[16:07] Mari
and you went off to Asagaoka without me.
[16:10] Yuki
You failed because you focused too much
on quiz bowl and not enough on studying.
[16:15] Yuki
I feel better now, though.
[16:16] Yuki
You seem to be having a good time at Buzou.
[16:19] Mari
Yeah. Koshiyama-kun and Inoue-kun
both joined our quiz bowl circle.
[16:24] Yuki
With a quiz nut like you next to
them, anyone would be inspired.
[16:28] Mari

[16:31] Yuki
I had a great time in middle
school because of that.

[17:33] Shiki
I might have underestimated classic
questions a bit at first.
[17:38] Shiki
But the classics have their own appeal.
[17:41] Shiki
And even though I knew there'd be
questions that I know the answers to,
[17:45] Shiki
I still got really into the
race to hit the calculator—
[17:47] Shiki
I mean, the buzzer first.

[03:09] Girl
The roof for voice projection practice.
[03:12] Kuroda
What was that you said about quiz bowl?
[03:14] Kuroda
You're hilarious, man.
[03:16] Shiki
Er... I, uh...
[03:18] Kuroda
Are you so buddy-buddy with Fukami Mari
that she influences you that much?
[03:23] Shiki
It's no laughing matter.
[03:25] Shiki
Why did I say that?
[03:26] Inoue
Seriously, you're so embarrassing!
[03:29] Inoue
You're just making trouble for quiz bowl
circle members like Fukami-san and me!
[03:33] Kuroda
What, you're in the quiz bowl circle, too?
[03:35] Inoue
That's right! Just like Fukami-san!
[03:38] Inoue
And I'm the class librarian,
just like Fukami-san, too!
[03:41] Inoue
So he's not the one who's
buddy-buddy with Fukami-san—
[03:43] Kuroda
Anyway, I should get to practice.
[03:45] Inoue
He wasn't even listening...
[03:47] Mari
Hey, you're both still in here!
[03:50] Mari
Let's get to quiz bowl!
[03:52] Mari
Today, we have...
[03:54] Mari
...a joint practice with another
school's quiz team!
[03:57] Shiki
Joint practice?
[03:59] Inoue
Which school?
[04:00] Mari
I haven't heard which one it is,
[04:02] Mari
but isn't it exciting?
[04:03] Inoue
Maybe it's Asagaoka Girls' High School?
[04:06] Shiki
Um, you two go on ahead.
[04:09] Shiki
I'm gonna stop by the faculty office.
[04:11] Mari
Roger! We'll be waiting
for you, Koshiyama-kun!
[04:15] Shiki
Fukami-san really perks up when
there's any mention of quiz bowl.
[04:20] Shiki
Though, I guess I can't talk...
[04:23] Shiki
Am I going to think of everything
in terms of quiz bowl soon, too?
[04:28] Shiki
Quiz bowl is scary...
[04:31] Shiki
Joint practice, huh? I wonder
which school they're coming from.
[04:36] Guy
"Small Classroom B"?
[04:38] Guy
Where's B?
[04:40] Guy
Dunno.
[04:40] Mikuriya
It's the room your quiz team uses.
[04:43] Guy
"Quiz team"? Does he mean
the quiz bowl circle?
[04:45] Guy
That's actually active?
[04:48] Mikuriya
Uh, never mind. Thanks.
[04:51] Mikuriya
I guess quiz teams aren't that
well-known at any school.
[04:54] Mikuriya
Ours is a little more
recognized than that, though.
[04:57] Mikuriya
I should've told them to wait for me
when I went to the bathroom.
[05:00] Shiki
Pardon me.
SIGN There he is!
[05:03] Mikuriya
R-Ragnarok!
[05:05] Shiki
M-Mikuriya-kun! Why are you here?
[05:07] Shiki
Oh... The joint practice?
[05:09] Mikuriya
Yes! Hurry up and show me
where "Small Classroom B" is!
[05:13] Shiki
S-Sure...
[05:14] Mikuriya
What's going on with your
school's quiz team, anyway?
[05:18] Mikuriya
No one even knows about it.
[05:22] Shiki
So the school was Miyaura?
[05:24] Shiki
Well, I guess they're only
in the next town over.
[05:26] Shiki
Does this mean I'll get to see
Mikuriya-kun's super fast buzzing again?
[05:31] Shiki
I can't wait!
[05:32] Shiki
Wait, we use a calculator!
What're we gonna do?!
[05:35] Mikuriya
What's with this guy?
SIGN Small Classroom B
[05:39] Mikuriya
Yo. Sorry I'm late.
[05:42] Ashiya
Hey, Mikuriya. That was
a long bathroom break.
[05:44] Mikuriya
I got lost!
[05:47] Gakuto
It appears everyone's here now.
[05:49] Ashiya
As requested, these are our new members.
[05:52] Ashiya
Maruyama.
[05:53] Ashiya
Mukai.
[05:54] Ashiya
Kiyosumi.
[05:55] Ashiya
Mikuriya.
[05:56] Ashiya
Also...
[05:58] All
Wow!
[05:59] Mari
Look! Real buzzers!
[06:00] Inoue
It's not a calculator!
[06:02] Shiki
It's so cool to see real buzzers!
[06:03] Ashiya
Uh, that's what grabs you?
[06:06] Gakuto
I will now announce today's quiz rules.
[06:11] Gakuto
No one's listening...
[06:13] Ashiya
Well, buzzer systems are of primary
concern to every new quiz team.
[06:17] Ashiya
They're not sold just anywhere,
[06:19] Ashiya
and not every school has a set that's
been passed down through years like ours.
[06:23] Gakuto
That's true.
[06:25] Gakuto
All I have is...
[06:27] Gakuto
this single button.
[06:30] Mari
Huh? Why do you have just that one?
[06:32] Shiki
Wow, a white button...
[06:35] Gakuto
Someone gave me this a long time ago...
[06:38] Gakuto
But it's missing its cord. It's broken.
[06:41] Gakuto
I only keep it, out of sight like this,

[06:44] Gakuto
to keep myself familiar with the
feel of the button on a daily basis.

[06:47] Inoue
Yikes...
[06:47] Shiki
Scary...
[06:49] Mari
That's so cool!
[06:50] Both
That's cool?!
[06:52] Mikuriya
Anyway, aren't we gonna some quizzing?
[06:55] Mikuriya
It'll be dark soon.
[06:57] Gakuto
All right, let's move the desks.
[07:01] Gakuto
Today, we'll have a team match
between the two schools.
[07:06] Gakuto
Though, we could have played free, as well...
[07:09] Shiki
"Free"?
[07:10] Mari
"Free batting."
[07:11] Mari
It's a buzz-in match
[07:13] Mari
where you don't set any rules,
or if you do, they're simple ones.
[07:17] Ashiya
Since we're all here for
a joint practice session,
[07:19] Ashiya
why not have a team match pitting the
schools against each other for the fun of it?
[07:24] Inoue
Just like those TV quiz bowl shows.
[07:26] Shiki
A team match, huh?
[07:28] Shiki
Wait, what about Mikuriya-kun?
[07:31] Mikuriya
I'm not playing.
[07:32] Mikuriya
The gulf in skill is too big, I guess?
Wouldn't want to mess up your game.
[07:36] Mukai
He's so full of himself.
[07:38] Maruyama
Why did he even tag along?
[07:40] Shiki
Oh... That's too bad.
[07:41] Inoue
Are you nuts? He'd pulverize us!
[07:45] Mikuriya
This isn't the place for
my match against you.
[07:48] Gakuto
As I was saying, I will
now explain the rules.
[07:52] Gakuto
This will be a "fastest finger" contest.
You'll have five seconds to deliberate.
[07:56] Gakuto
For every correct answer,
you earn one point.
[08:01] Gakuto
For every incorrect answer,
you lose one point.
SIGN Miyaura
SIGN Buzou
[08:04] Gakuto
The first team to ten points wins.
[08:08] Mari
Those rules are meant to
test our team's cohesion.
[08:11] Gakuto
You'll each have a buzzer,
[08:12] Gakuto
but the whole team will
have the right to answer.
[08:15] Gakuto
In other words, after buzzing,
anyone on your team can answer.
[08:19] Mukai
Can we confer?
[08:20] Gakuto
No. No conferring.
[08:23] Ashiya
Also...
[08:24] Ashiya
If two players give the same
answer simultaneously,
[08:27] Ashiya
it will automatically be treated as
an incorrect answer, so be careful.
[08:31] Ashiya
In general, it's best if the person who
buzzes in is also responsible for answering.
[08:36] Gakuto
Ashiya-san and I came up with the questions,
based on those used in past quizzes.
[08:40] Maruyama
Hey, this might be our chance!
[08:42] Shiki
I just need to buzz if I know it, right?
[08:44] Shiki
But if I guess wrong,
the team loses a point...
[08:48] Shiki
I need to be careful.
[08:51] Gakuto
We'll start with the buzzer test.
[08:54] Mari
Sasajima-senpai said not to
focus on winning and losing,
[08:58] Mari
but in a match like this, the team that
doesn't focus on being victorious can't win.
[09:03] Mari
That's exactly it! Quiz bowl is...
SIGN Miyaura

[09:06] Mari

SIGN Q: Italian for "small goose," the instrument invented in the
19th century by Giuseppe Donati is known by what name?

I think Fukami-san may win
this for us all by herself...

[10:11] Inoue
That's supposed to be my specialty!
SIGN Buzou
SIGN Miyaura
[10:17] Shiki
It's the same pattern again.
[10:19] Shiki
I can't even buzz in.
[10:20] Shiki
Does this "pushing in" thing really work?
[10:24] Gakuto
Question.
[10:25] Gakuto
In the Gospel According to
Matthew in the New Testament,
[10:28] Gakuto
which recounts Jesus Christ's
"Sermon on the Mount,"
[10:31] Gakuto
mankind is likened to
"the what of the earth"?
[10:38] Shiki
It's not a phrase people use often, but...
[10:43] Shiki
The salt of the earth.
[10:44] Ashiya
Correct.
[10:45] Inoue
Whoa, nice!
[10:46] Ashiya
In the Gospel According to Matthew in the New Testament,
which recounts Jesus Christ's "Sermon on the Mount,
"mankind is likened to "the what of the earth"? A: The salt of the earth
[10:47] Ashiya
He got a question that was
about to go unanswered, huh?
[10:49] Ashiya
I guess it's not bad having
someone like that on a team.
[10:52] Mikuriya
Not good enough.
[10:54] Mikuriya
If you can't buzz in faster
on the easy questions,
[10:56] Mikuriya
you won't make it past the early rounds.
[10:58] Mikuriya
And you'll never make it
into the same ring as me.
[11:01] Gakuto
Question.
[11:03] Gakuto
The 17th Century Dutch artist known
for Girl with a Pearl Earring—
[11:08] Kiyosumi
Vermeer.
[11:09] Ashiya
Correct.
SIGN Q: The 17th Century Dutch artist known for Girl with a Pearl
Earring and The Milkmaid was whom? A: Vermeer
[11:13] Mari
We'll get nowhere if we can't buzz in first.
[11:15] Mari
He said these were Miyaura's new members,
[11:18] Mari
but I guess they have
the edge in cohesiveness?
[11:21] Mari
It's up to me to try my hardest now.
[11:24] Gakuto
Question.
SIGN Buzou
SIGN Miyaura
[11:25] Gakuto
The faces of a die add up to t—
[11:28] Mari
"T"?
[11:29] Mari
A parallel?!
[11:31] Ashiya
Five seconds.
[11:33] Inoue
They add up to twenty-one.
[11:35] Shiki
If Fukami-san is hesitating, then...
[11:37] Shiki
They add up to "t"...
[11:39] Shiki
The "twenty-one" is already in the question?
[11:42] Shiki
Which means subtracting or dividing would
be unnatural, so maybe multiplying?
[11:47] Mukai
You've gotta memorize
questions about dice.
[11:50] Mukai
It takes too long to do the math.
[11:52] Mari
Six... twenty-four...
[11:54] Mari
I can't work it out in time!
[11:56] Inoue
720!
[11:58] Ashiya
Correct.
SIGN Q: All the faces of a die add up to twenty-one, and multiplying
them results in what number? A: 720
[12:00] Inoue
Leave the math questions to me!
[12:02] Mari
Inoue-kun!
[12:04] Inoue
Yay!
[12:05] Mari
That was great!
[12:08] Maruyama
Die in a fire, normie!
[12:11] Gakuto
Yes. For the time being, this is fine.
[12:14] Gakuto
Enjoy quiz bowl to your hearts' content.
[12:17] Gakuto
One day, you'll take part
in a real competition.
[12:20] Gakuto
When that time comes...
[12:22] Gakuto
what you feel now will be your sustenance.
[12:25] Inoue
Let's keep it up!
[12:27] Both
Yeah!
[12:31] Gakuto
Question.
[12:32] Gakuto
Wind blowing from the land toward the sea
is said to be favorable for ships—
[12:36] Maruyama
They won't take this one!
[12:37] Maruyama
Tailwind!
[12:38] Mukai
That one?
[12:39] Shiki
Not forewind?
SIGN Q: Wind blowing from the land toward the sea is said to be favorable
for ships leaving port, earning it what name? X Tailwind A: Forewind
[12:41] Ashiya
The correct answer is forewind.
[12:42] Maruyama
Huh?!
[12:43] Shiki
I thought so...
[12:44] Mukai
Don't get all trigger-happy!
SIGN Miyaura
[12:46] Mukai
Did you forget that
wrong answers lose points?!
[12:48] Gakuto
Question.
[12:50] Gakuto
Which Japanese term, meaning
"bustling activity," originated—
[12:53] Maruyama
"Tenteko"—
[12:54] Mukai
"Touhon seisou!"
SIGN Q: Which Japanese term, meaning "bustling activity," originated
from Japanese drum performances? X Touhon seisou A: Tentekomai
[12:56] Ashiya
The correct answer is "tentekomai."
[12:58] Mukai
Are you serious?!
[12:59] Shiki
So "originated" didn't refer to a place of origin,
but a point of origin in Japanese music.
[13:00] [SONG] Text
Originated (place)
[13:01] [SONG] Text
Originated (point)
[13:04] Maruyama
Mukai, you idiot! I buzzed in!
[13:06] Mukai
Well, you keep getting them wrong!
[13:08] Ashiya
No conferring.
[13:12] Mari
Now's our chance!
[13:14] Gakuto
Question.
[13:16] Gakuto
The Four Great Classical Novels
of Chinese literature...
[13:18] Mari
Numerated format and literature!
[13:20] Gakuto
...are Romance of the Three Kingdoms...
[13:21] Mari
I don't know all three of the classics.
[13:23] Mari
What I do know is the determining point:
[13:25] Mari
The first syllable of the second title!
[13:27] Gakuto
...Wa—
[13:29] Ashiya
The determining point
is on the third title.
[13:31] Ashiya
That was a mistake.
[13:33] Mari
It's not the "Three Great Classical
Novels"! There are four of them!
[13:36] Mari
I was going to pass this
one off to Koshiyama-kun,
[13:39] Mari
but I got the determining point wrong!
[13:42] Shiki
Of course! This question's for me!
[13:46] Shiki
The hints given were Romance of the
Three Kingdoms and Water Margin.
SIGN Romance of the Three Kingdoms
SIGN Water Margin
[13:49] Shiki**
That leaves Journey to the West
and The Plum in the Golden Vase.
SIGN Journey to the West
SIGN The Plum in the Golden Vase
[13:53] Shiki**
So which one's the right answer?
[13:56] Ashiya
Three, two, one...
[13:59] Shiki
The Plum in the Golden Vase!
SIGN Q: The Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature are
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the
West, and what? A: The Plum in the Golden Vase
[14:01] Ashiya
Correct.
[14:04] Mari
How did you decide which one it was?
[14:07] Shiki
Most people think of them as the
"Three Great Classical Novels,"
[14:09] Shiki
which are Romance of the Three Kingdoms,
Water Margin, and Journey to the West.
[14:13] Shiki
But this question specified four novels,
so I figured it had to be that one.
[14:16] Mari
They saved me on both the
numerated and parallel formats!
[14:21] Shiki
Pushing in is making my hand cramp up.
[14:24] Inoue
You've been doing that?
[14:26] Mari
And they both only just got into quiz bowl.
[14:29] Mari
They're both amazing!
[14:32] Ashiya
This is a surprise.
[14:38] Gakuto
Question.
[14:39] Gakuto
French for "new wave"—
[14:42] All
All three of them at once?!
[14:44] Shiki
Language questions are Fukami-san's thing!
[14:46] Mari

[14:48] Ashiya
Correct.
SIGN Q: French for "new wave," what term refers to a 1950s trend
in French film-making? A: La Nouvelle Vague

Yes!
SIGN Buzou
SIGN Miyaura
[14:52] Shiki
Just three more points...
[14:56] Maruyama
Dammit! We're supposed to
be better on the buzzer!
[15:00] Mukai
It's because you keep
getting trigger-happy!
[15:02] Maruyama
If you hadn't shouted over
me for that answer...
[15:04] Mukai
What?!
[15:05] Kiyosumi
Hey, cool it.
[15:07] Kiyosumi
If we get too flustered, we'll lose.
[15:09] Kiyosumi
So far, all the questions have been
ones we've seen in collections, right?
[15:14] Mukai
Y-Yeah.
[15:15] Maruyama
That's true.
[15:19] Maruyama
We have mountains of past question
collections left by older students and alumni.
[15:23] Mukai
I'm buried in them every day,
but I've still only read a fraction.
[15:28] Kiyosumi
We should have the advantage
on questions used in past quizzes!
[15:32] Gakuto
Question.
[15:33] Gakuto
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a—
[15:36] Kiyosumi
Muhammad Ali.
[15:37] Ashiya
Correct.
SIGN Q: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee" was said to describe the
style of which former heavyweight world champion boxer?
A: Muhammad Ali
[15:40] Mukai
All right!
[15:41] Maruyama
Nice!
[15:42] Kiyosumi
Thanks.
SIGN Buzou
SIGN Miyaura
[15:45] Kiyosumi
We can't lose to a rookie quiz team

[15:49] Shiki
Miyaura's attitude has changed...
[15:55] Mari
It's okay.
[15:57] Mari
Just three more points.
[15:59] Mari
Let's get them together!
[16:02] Both

[16:10] Gakuto
Question.
[16:11] Gakuto
Locally known as "Uluru"—
[16:14] Mari
Ayers Rock!
[16:16] Ashiya
Correct.
[16:17] Shiki
In an instant,
[16:18] Shiki
it felt like everyone was
suddenly on the same page.
[16:22] Shiki
Everyone participating becomes one
[16:25] Shiki
in pursuit of the questions...
SIGN Miyaura
[16:27] Shiki

We lost.
[17:09] Shiki
Still...
[17:11] Shiki
Thanks to you buzzing in,
I was able to answer.
[17:14] Inoue
Me, too!
[17:19] Inoue
I answered a math question!
Was that awesome or what?
[17:22] Shiki
Yeah. I wonder if that was a classic.
[17:24] Shiki
I'll remember it.
[17:26] Mari
There's no need for quiz bowl
that you play only to win.
[17:29] Mari
When I was reminded of
my own ability and panicking...
[17:33] Mari
I nearly forgot what's really important.
[17:38] Shiki
Fukami-san?
[17:40] Mari
That was a fun quiz, wasn't it?
[17:45] Mukai
We won, and yet...
[17:47] Maruyama
Why does it feel like we lost?
[17:52] Ashiya
Want to go one more round?
[17:54] Gakuto
Sounds good.

You call yourselves members

And who even cares if you guys win or lose?!

Besides, you're the one who said

[20:14] Jinko
Well, rather than makin' it

it's better to use one-chip microcomputers,

Huh?
[11:34] Inoue
Dreamcast! Yes!
SIGN Dreamcast
[11:38] Inoue
Are you kidding me?!
[11:40] Shiki
He got it first!
[11:41] Inoue
Ashiya-san, he's a total otaku, isn't he?!
[11:44] Ashiya
Well, he's on the quiz team,
so he's not exactly inexperienced...
SIGN Lifestyle
[11:49] Shiki
"Lifestyle..."
[11:51] Shiki
What kind of question will it be?
[11:53] Shiki
I realize now, after seeing the last question,
[11:55] Shiki
that if you guess after seeing the whole
word on the card, it'll be too late.
[11:58] Shiki
Inoue, think of some possible
answers before the cards come up.
[12:03] Shiki
Why don't we try to collate the answers in
our heads and match them to the cards?
[12:07] Shiki
If we're right, we can buzz in reflexively.
[12:09] Inoue
Oh... We might be able
to buzz in faster that way.
[12:12] Ashiya
I thought he was just
a fountain of knowledge,
[12:14] Ashiya
but he's theoretically analyzed the rules, too.
SIGN Lifestyle
SIGN Which of the 12 months are "long months" with 31 days?
[12:20] Inoue
"Long months"?
[12:21] Shiki
January, March, May, July,
August, October, December...
[12:25] Inoue
This should be easy, right?
[12:27] Inoue
Wait, they're in English?!
[12:28] Shiki
So that's it!
[12:30] Shiki
March... That's one!
[12:32] Shiki
Got it!
[12:34] Inoue
He's fast!
[12:36] Shiki
I guess that would've been too easy, huh?
[12:39] Shiki
Just because we came up with that plan
doesn't mean speed will be enough.
[12:43] Shiki
But...
[12:43] Shiki
What if I try that?
[12:49] Inoue
Another one to Mikuriya?!
[12:56] Shiki
It's not over yet!
[13:01] Inoue
No letters are even showing yet!
[13:03] Inoue
May? It's May!
[13:05] Shiki
The plan worked!
[13:07] Inoue
"Plan"?! That wasn't a guess?!
SIGN The End
[13:09] Shiki
Nope. I'd decided that if it took a while
for any letters to show, I'd buzz in.
[13:14] Mikuriya
I see now! The number of letters!
[13:16] Shiki
May's the only month with only
three letters in its name.
[13:20] Shiki
The fact that it has the fewest letters
[13:22] Shiki
means the part of the card where
the hint isn't visible is much larger.
[13:26] Inoue
Oh!
[13:27] Inoue
So not seeing the hint
is a hint in itself?
[13:29] Shiki
Right!
[13:30] Mikuriya
How did he notice that
loophole in the rules so quickly?
[13:34] Ashiya
It's pretty amazing to actually
guess correctly like that.
[13:39] Mikuriya
Interesting.
[13:41] Inoue
Okay! That just leaves "Literature"!
[13:43] Shiki
Yeah!
[13:48] Akira
Very interesting.
SIGN Literature
SIGN Which of the following Shakespeare plays is counted among the "Four Great Tragedies"?

Oh, I'm good at these.

Excuse me, but those two are with us.

What did ya call us, you cosplaying bitch?!
[14:48] Guy
You wanna fight us?!
[14:50] Akira
Sure. If we're going to have
a match, let's do it for real.
[14:54] Guy
A match?
[14:55] Akira
If you guys win, I'll give
you anything you want.
[15:01] Akira
If you win, that is.
[15:04] Guy
All right!

Don't forget you said that!

[15:08] Akira

[15:11] Guy
Say what?
[15:12] Ashiya
This is probably a good
time to get out of here.
[15:15] Shiki
But we haven't thanked that
person for helping us...
[15:19] Mikuriya
I wouldn't call that "helping us."
[15:22] Ashiya
It doesn't look like that
was the intention, anyway.

Whatever, I'll let them go this time.
[15:50] Shiki
U-Um, thank you for helping—
[15:52] Akira
I watched you guys playing.
[15:54] Shiki
Huh?
[15:55] Akira
It was exciting! You're good at quizzing!
[15:59] Akira
I'd love to play with you guys, too.
[16:01] Akira
You're welcome to play,

[16:03] Akira

Let's go, Koshiyama-kun.

You take quiz bowl seriously, right?
[16:26] Akira
Like, keeping an eye out for
questions and stuff like that?
[16:28] Akira
You're really going all out!
[16:30] Akira
I bet you spend every day cramming
just for quiz bowl, right?
[16:34] Akira
Are you honor students at school, too?
[16:38] Shiki
Are you making fun of us?
[16:41] Akira
Huh?

I don't care what you say about me.
[16:48] Shiki
I'm used to it.
[16:50] Shiki
But...
[16:52] Shiki
Is it wrong to go all out
for something you enjoy?
[16:54] Shiki
Is it something you should
get laughed at for?
[16:57] Shiki
It just means you like it, that's all!

Is there something wrong
with being quiz freaks?!
[17:12] Inoue
Let's go, Koshiyama!
[17:14] Shiki
Oh... right.

Koshiyama...
[17:26] Shiki
I-I'm sorry! I said too much...
[17:29] Ashiya
Nah, it actually brought a smile to my face.
[17:32] Ashiya
It means you're really

[17:36] Ashiya
I'm glad to have new kindred spirits.
[17:42] Shiki
Yeah.

What kind of idiot are you?
[19:10] Mikuriya
And I'm not your friend.

"Regular meet"?

It's a regularly scheduled competition where

It's basically a joint quiz meet.

the regular meet?

Mikuriya-kun said he'd
get his revenge there.
[19:44] Mari

[19:49] Mari
Well, that means you have

Don't you feel bad for Koshiyama-kun?

If he got serious, he could

[20:25] Mikuriya
That's why I don't want to get
chummy. I won't show any mercy.
[20:29] Ashiya
Well, I look forward to next

But Koshiyama won't be your only opponent.

In fact, there'll be plenty of
others who are much tougher.
[20:39] Ashiya
I'll be competing, too.
[20:43] Mikuriya
No matter who I face, I'll show no

We saw a new quiz format today: the

SIGN Single Question with Multiple Answers
[22:34] Guy
They demand broader knowledge
than questions with only one answer.
[22:37] Inoue
Those were hard...

But if we get lots of them right,
we can get lots of points!
[22:43] Guy

The regular meet?
[02:34] Shiki
Mikuriya-kun told me about it.
[02:37] Mari
We figured you'd know the schedule,
[02:39] Mari
and how the tournament works, and so on.
[02:42] Gakuto
Jinko, work more quietly.
[02:46] Jinko
Sure.
[02:48] Gakuto
I was just thinking I should
tell you all about it.
[02:51] Gakuto
The full schedule is still
to be confirmed,
[02:53] Gakuto
but the regular meet will take place in
June at Asagaoka Girls' High School.
[02:57] Inoue
Asagaoka?
[02:59] Mari
That's Yukicchi's school!
[03:01] Chiaki
The "regular meet"
[03:03] Chiaki
is, in fact, a normal activity
for every quiz bowl team.
[03:09] Chiaki
But the "regular meet" for
student quiz bowl teams
[03:12] Chiaki
is basically a meet held
out of school hours.
[03:15] Chiaki
Schools take turns
hosting a quiz tournament.
[03:19] Chiaki
You could call it a larger version
of the last meet at Sekigawata.
[03:23] Yuki
A larger version...
[03:24] Chiaki
All the strongest schools in Kanto and
the surrounding prefectures participate.
[03:29] Chiaki
Kaijou Academy will most
likely be there, as well.
[03:32] Kenmochi
Kaijou's that elite high school!
[03:35] Kogawa
Oh, gosh! All those smart
boys will be coming here!
[03:39] Chiaki
As Asagaoka is the host school,
[03:42] Chiaki
we must make preparations to welcome
these competitive schools.
[03:45] Kenmochi
So we'll get to make boys from competitive
schools really apply themselves!
[03:49] Kujou
And we get to put anguished looks on
their faces with our tough questions!
[03:53] Kogawa
It'll be a white-hot drama of
boys in a garden of girls!
[03:56] Yuki
Uh, I think there'll be
girls participating, too...
[04:01] Chiaki
I've already come up with a special plan.
[04:06] Shiki
Sekigawata, Miyaura... and Kaijou, too?
[04:12] Mari
Kaijou's quiz team is the
toughest of the tough.
[04:16] Mari
They're a top national level team.

[04:27] Shiki
I'm going up against Mikuriya-kun.
[04:30] Gakuto
Good. In competitive quiz bowl, you
can't get better without experience.
[04:35] Gakuto
It'll be good for you to get some practice
with veteran schools at the regular meet.
[04:39] Jinko
C'mon, Gakuto. Sounds like y'all are
expectin' to lose right from the get-go.
[04:45] Jinko
Competitions're all a matter of chance.
They're fun 'cause no one knows what'll happen.
[04:49] Jinko
Ain't that what you're always sayin'?
[04:51] Mari
That's right, Senpai!
[04:52] Mari
I think, in terms of knowledge, Koshiyama-kun
can hold his own against those tough schools!
[04:57] Shiki
I-I'll do my best to win!
[05:00] Gakuto
I see.
[05:02] Gakuto
In that case, in preparation for the meet,
[05:05] Gakuto
you should compete among
yourselves, starting today.
[05:08] Gakuto
We'll start with a quiz paper.
[05:10] Gakuto
You have ten minutes.
[05:13] Gakuto
It's typical for quiz papers to be issued
during the early rounds of the meet.
[05:18] Gakuto
It's a quiz format that
simply tests knowledge.
[05:24] Gakuto
Begin.
[05:25] Shiki

[09:29] Mari
I guess it was my brother's influence.
[09:33] Shiki
You have a brother?
[09:34] Mari
Yeah. He's a year older than me,
[09:38] Mari
and he's been doing quiz
bowl since middle school.
[09:42] Mari
I always used to read quiz books like he did,
[09:45] Mari
and got him to teach me about quiz bowl.
[09:48] (Flashback) Seiji
Question.
[09:50] (Flashback) Seiji
French for "flash of lightning,"
[09:53] (Flashback) Seiji
a long, thin pastry topped with
chocolate is known by what name?
[10:00] (Flashback) Seiji
The answer is...
[10:02] (Flashback) Seiji
...éclair.
[10:05] Mari
Every year at my brother's school festival,
[10:08] Mari
the quiz team hosts a quiz bowl tournament.
SIGN Kaijou Festival
[10:12] Mari
I eventually started taking part in it.
SIGN Quiz Meet Applications
SIGN As the number of participants is limited, entrants will be selected by lottery.
[10:20] Mari
My brother's school quiz
team has a long history,
[10:24] Mari
so the school festival's annual quiz meet
[10:26] Mari
was so popular that it was
always standing-room only.
[10:29] Mari
And other than me, all the
participants were adults.
[10:38] (Flashback) Guy
Donkey!
[10:38] (Flashback) Host
Correct.
[10:39] (Flashback) Guy
Ringside seats.
[10:41] (Flashback) Host
Correct.
[10:42] (Flashback) Lady
Siphon.
[10:43] (Flashback) Host
Correct.
[10:44] Mari
Back then, I seriously regretted entering.
[10:48] Mari
I managed to get into the meet, but
couldn't answer a single question.
[10:53] Mari
But in the middle of all that...
[10:56] (Flashback) Guy
Question.
[10:57] (Flashback) Guy
French for "flash of lightning,"
[11:00] (Flashback) Guy
a long, thin pastry topped with—
[11:09] Mari
Eclair.
[11:11] (Flashback) Host
Correct.
[11:23] Mari
I think it's because of that one question
[11:25] Mari
that I'm in quiz bowl right now.
[11:30] Mari
I was only able to answer one question,
[11:32] Mari
but I still can't forget that moment.
[11:36] Shiki
I see... Just like me and Das Gemeine.
[11:41] Mari
And the other reason was the way
my brother looked that day.
[11:48] (Flashback) Seiji
Middle school first-year, Fukami Seiji.
[11:52] (Flashback) Seiji
I won't lose to the older students.
[11:54] (Flashback) Host
The timed fastest finger round
will last five minutes.
[11:57] (Flashback) Host
Now, begin.
[12:00] (Flashback) Guy
Question.
[12:01] (Flashback) Guy
When an airplane exceeds the speed
of sound, the shock waves—
[12:05] (Flashback) Seiji
Sonic boom.
SIGN Q. When an airplane exceeds the speed of sound, the shock waves
produce a sound known by what name? A. Sonic boom
[12:07] (Flashback) Host
Correct.
[12:11] (Flashback) Seiji
The César Award.
[12:13] (Flashback) Seiji
Nue.
[12:14] (Flashback) Seiji
Space chorus.
[12:15] (Flashback) Host
Correct.
[12:24] Mari
It was amazing.
[12:27] Inoue
From what you just said, that school's
quiz team must be pretty awesome, too.
[12:31] Shiki
What school does your brother go to?
[12:33] Mari
Well, my brother is...
[12:36] Mari
a second-year at Kaijou High School.
[12:39] Shiki
Kaijou?!
[12:40] Inoue
That elite high school?
[12:42] Inoue
Maybe you two will face each other
in competition at the regional meet!
[12:47] Mari
Unfortunately, he won't be
participating in the regular meet.
[12:51] Inoue
Huh? Why not?
[12:54] Mari
He quit quiz bowl.
[12:57] Mari
He said he wants to focus
on his entrance exams.
[13:01] Mari
Can't help that, right?
[13:04] Seiji
Mari?
[13:05] Seiji
It is you, Mari.
[13:07] Seiji
Are you heading home?
[13:09] Seiji
Who are these two?
[13:10] Mari
Um...
[13:12] Mari
This is Koshiyama-kun and
Inoue-kun, from my class.
[13:15] Mari
Our club ran late,
so they're walking with me.
[13:17] Seiji
I see. Thank you for that.
[13:20] Inoue
N-No problem.
[13:22] Shiki
You're, um...
[13:23] Seiji
It's nice to meet you.
[13:25] Seiji
I'm Mari's older brother, Seiji.
[13:28] Both
N-Nice to meet you!
SIGN Handsome
Big Brother
[13:30] Inoue
What a handsome big brother!
[13:31] Shiki
Only Fukami-san could*
have a brother like that!
[13:34] Seiji
Let's go home, Mari.
[13:38] Mari
See you, Koshiyama-kun, Inoue-kun.
[13:42] Shiki
S-Sure...
[13:43] Inoue
L-Later, then.
[13:52] Mari
You're back pretty early today.
[13:55] Seiji
We only had one lesson at cram school.
[13:58] Seiji
Are you always this late getting home?
[14:01] Seiji
Can't say I like it.
[14:03] Mari
Um... I sort of got to
talking with my friends...
[14:07] Seiji
I didn't realize...
[14:09] Seiji
you'd joined a club.
[14:11] Seiji
Which club?
[14:14] Seiji
You're not going to tell me you joined
that quiz bowl circle, I hope.
[14:23] Seiji
What did I tell you?
[14:25] Seiji
Competing in quiz bowl is pointless.

[14:40] Gakuto
So it's set.
[14:43] Niina
I'm glad it's after our midterms.
[14:46] Ashiya
That'll be tough...
[14:48] Maruyama
Why did they pick that date?!
[14:50] Maruyama
That's two days before our midterms!
[14:52] Mukai
Why does only our school have exams then?!
[14:55] Ashiya
Well, we can't do anything about it now.
[14:57] Ashiya
Everyone who'd like to
enter, raise your hands.
[15:04] Maruyama
Mikuriya? Won't you need to study?
[15:07] Mikuriya
Nah.
[15:09] Mikuriya
Midterms are no big deal if
you've been listening in class.
[15:13] Ashiya
You're the only participant, as of right now.
[15:16] Maruyama
Relax, Mikuriya. We won't
let you do it all alone.
[15:21] Mukai
Maruyama, you're gonna participate, too?
[15:23] Maruyama
Just think about it. This kind of
chance doesn't come along often.
[15:27] Maruyama
It's at an all-girls school, you
know! A garden of sweet fruit!
[15:30] Mukai
That's right! It's gonna
smell amazing, for sure!
SIGN Small Classroom B
[15:38] Gakuto
The regular meet will take place
on the first Sunday of next month.
[15:42] Gakuto
Read all of these by then.
[15:44] Inoue
All of these in half a month?
[15:49] (Flashback) Seiji
Competing in quiz bowl is pointless.
[15:54] Mari
How can he call it pointless?
[15:57] Inoue
Well, I did completely
screw up the paper quiz.
[16:01] Inoue
I guess I should read up a little.
[16:04] Gakuto
This is only a fraction of what I have.
[16:07] Gakuto
I regularly collect past
questions from other schools
[16:09] Gakuto
as well as question collections
from adult quiz circles.
[16:16] Inoue
Whoa, they're all packed
with nothing but words!
[16:18] Inoue
This looks right up your alley, Koshiyama...
[16:23] Inoue
You have way too many
of those strewn about.
[16:26] Shiki
Huh? Ah... I was looking for
something, and this just happened...
[16:31] Gakuto
What were you reading?
[16:33] Shiki
Well...
SIGN Kyoto
[16:34] Mari
A Kyoto guide?
[16:36] Inoue
Are you going on a trip or something?
[16:38] Shiki
No, but these often have a lot of
information on local history and landmarks.
[16:46] Shiki
I thought it might be useful
for quiz bowl, too.
SIGN Nara
[16:51] Gakuto
So you've been reading guides from all
the regions of Kansai for that reason?
SIGN Kobe
SIGN Osaka
[16:55] Shiki
Yeah. It's hard to stop once you start.
[16:58] Shiki
I get sidetracked sometimes...
[17:01] Gakuto
That's a good reading method.
[17:03] Gakuto
It's easier to recall knowledge you took in
[17:05] Gakuto
by reading related sources than by
just reading anything at random.
[17:09] Shiki
Will that be useful for quiz bowl?
[17:12] Gakuto
Famous locations and local specialties
are often used for questions.
[17:14] Inoue
Huh?
[17:16] Gakuto
Question.
[17:17] Inoue
Huh?!
[17:29] Gakuto
Something's come up.
[17:34] Mari
Senpai, why did you get
involved in quiz bowl?
[17:39] Gakuto
Why am I in quiz bowl?
That's a silly question.
[17:43] Gakuto
Do you need a reason for
doing what you love?
[18:00] Mari
Sasajima-senpai is so amazing...
[18:04] Shiki
Huh?!
[18:05] Inoue
What kind of flag just triggered?!
[18:06] Mari
That's right! The reason
doesn't even matter!
[18:10] Gakuto
Sorry about that.
SIGN I love what I love, and I'll say it with pride!

I dunno what's goin' on, but well said!
[18:27] Mari
Jinko-san...
[18:29] Jinko
In response to all of y'all's enthusiasm,
[18:32] Jinko
I'd like to present my handmade buzzer set!
[18:36] Shiki
They're done?
[18:37] Inoue
When did that happen?
[18:38] Gakuto
Just a moment ago.
[18:43] Jinko
There!
[18:47] Inoue
Huh?
[18:49] Mari
Lunch boxes?
[18:51] Shiki
Th-They're very cute buzzer buttons.
[18:55] Gakuto
Well, let's start with a buzzer test.
[18:57] Buzzer
Meow!
[18:58] Buzzer
Oink!
[19:00] Buzzer
Baa!
[19:01] Buzzer
Ribbit!
[19:02] Inoue
I don't think so!
[19:03] Mari
They're cute, but...
[19:05] Shiki
This'll make me forget any
answers I come up with...
[19:08] Gakuto
Fix this by tomorrow.
[19:10] Jinko
Aw, y'all are no fun.
[19:13] Jinko
Oh, yeah! Question!
[19:15] Jinko
What's a cute girl like me
called in the Kyoto dialect?
[19:19] Buzzer
Meow!
[19:22] Shiki
B-Belle.
[19:24] Buzzer
Dummy!
[19:25] Jinko
Correct!
[19:26] Shiki
It was the right answer, but
I still got called a dummy...
[19:34] Shiki
We finally got our own buzzers.
[19:37] Shiki
Our preparations for the regular
meet are finally underway.
[19:51] Chiaki
Looks like just about all

Hey, that's—
[20:02] Akira
See? It's a perfect fit!
[20:05] Akira
It's almost time for our
summer uniforms, right?
[20:07] Akira
Lend me this outfit when
summer comes around!
[20:09] Chiaki
What would you even do with it?
[20:11] Chiaki
Take it off!
[20:13] Akira
I guess it won't work,
since we go to different schools.
[20:16] Chiaki
You think that's the reason?
[20:18] Akira
By the way, Nee-chan,
[20:19] Akira
is doing quiz bowl with
all the other kids fun?
[20:23] Chiaki
Your school has a perfectly
fine quiz bowl team.
[20:27] Chiaki
Why don't you give it a try?
[20:29] Akira
But clubs are such a hassle.
[20:33] Akira
I've found someone interesting, though.
[20:36] Akira
His name's "Koshiyama."
[20:38] Chiaki
Koshiyama? I've heard that name somewhere...
[20:42] Akira
He does quiz bowl, too.
[20:45] Chiaki
Is he that literary nut from Buzou?

Our usual quiz master has made
his way to a certain location.
[22:34] Gakuto
Now, live from the scene: Quiz Master!
[22:36] Master
Yes! I'm currently in the place all high
school students dream of visiting: New York!
[22:41] Master
And the venue for this year's high
school quiz meet is, of course, right here...
[22:44] Master
In front of the Statue of Liberty!
[22:48] Shiki
I'd love to go there!
[22:49] Master
Yes, I look forward to seeing you
here one day, Koshiyama-kun.

[00:16] Shiki
Y-Yeah.
[00:17] Mom
I had no idea!
[00:18] Mom
What about lunch?
I'll pack you one right away!
[00:22] Shiki
My memories of my dad reading
books to me when I was little
[00:26] Shiki
seem so far away in my memory now.
[00:29] Shiki
For me, reading was a way for me
to have fun in my own little world.
[00:35] Shiki
I'm borrowing this book today.
[00:39] Shiki
I learned a lot of things in
my world spun from letters.
[00:43] Shiki
It's my own secret world,
which I've kept warm all this time.
[00:46] Shiki
And now, it's starting to connect me
with the world everyone else inhabits...
[00:50] Shiki
The quiz bowl world.
[00:54] Shiki
Okay!
SIGN Question 8: "\Greetings/ Asagaoka Regular Meet!"
[02:26] Chiaki
Thank you all for participating in

Once you've signed in,
please sit wherever you like.
[02:35] Shiki
We're having a quiz meet
in a place like this?
[02:39] Jinko
Looks fun!
[02:40] Gakuto
Keep it down, Jinko.
[02:42] Gakuto
The rule is that spectators can't
interfere with participants.

Yukicchi! It's been half
a month since I saw you!
[02:48] Yuki
There, there. We can hang
out again starting from today.
[02:50] Inoue
What's that about?
[02:52] Kenmochi
A gag order.
[02:54] Kenmochi
We were told not to associate with
students from other schools until the meet.

[03:10] Niina
So Ashiya-kun, your tests
are in two days, aren't they?
[03:13] Ashiya
Niina...
[03:14] Ashiya
There's no way I could miss this meet when
kids from my school are participating.
[03:18] Maruyama

and Silver Pavilion are—

[03:33] Mikuriya
I hope you've been brushing up.

A quiz competition with Mikuriya-kun...
[03:38] Shiki
I can't wait!
[03:42] Niina
It's Kaijou Academy.

He ranked first on the national
mock exams in literature.

Kaijou isn't the only tough school here.

Sekigawata, whose club
president is Niina-san...
[04:12] Gakuto

Kannami University High School...
[04:17] Gakuto
and Chiba's Leoneil.
[04:20] Gakuto
They're all equally prestigious schools.
[04:23] Jinko
Whoa! Whazzat?
[04:29] Chiaki
Welcome to the Asagaoka Regular Meet.
[04:33] Chiaki
As the Bible teaches, "Those who
think they know something
[04:38] Chiaki
do not yet know as they ought to know."

It also says, "As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another."

[04:52] Chiaki
May God bless you and keep you.
[04:55] All

Today's events will proceed in the order
outlined in the programs you received at sign-in.

So this is today's program...
[05:11] Yuki
We are now distributing paper quizzes.
SIGN In the Beginning, There Was The Word
[05:16] Yuki
Round 1 will now begin.
[05:18] Yuki
You have ten minutes.
[05:22] Shiki
The paper quiz is fifty questions,
[05:24] Shiki
including one that calls for approximation.
[05:26] Mikuriya
Religious stuff right off the bat...
[05:28] Mikuriya
Looks like this is going to
follow us around all day.
[05:35] Yuki
You have one minute left.
[05:37] Yuki
Thirty seconds.
[05:39] Yuki
Stop.
[05:41] Yuki
We will now take a break.
[05:43] Yuki
The answers will be announced at 12:00,
and rankings will be announced at 12:10.
[05:43] Inoue
Koshiyama, let's go see what an
all-girls school looks like!
[05:45] Shiki
Sorry, I'll pass.
[05:48] Inoue
Oh, fine...
[05:49] Mari
Inoue-kun, let's go get some drinks.
[05:52] Inoue
Sure!
[05:57] Akira
Man, what a drag.
[06:02] Inoue
Don't stand there and drink it! Move!
[06:10] Akira
Sorry.
[06:13] Inoue
Huh? Where have I...
[06:16] Akira
Bullseye.
[06:18] Ohkura
Sasajima.
[06:20] Gakuto
Ohkura.
[06:22] Shiki
Wh-What does Kaijou's club president
have to say to Sasajima-senpai?!
[06:29] Ohkura
You finally showed up, Sasajima?!
[06:31] Gakuto
Uh, well, looks that way, yeah...
[06:33] Ohkura
I've waited for you this whole time!
[06:35] Ohkura
I heard rumors that you started
a quiz team at Buzou,
[06:39] Ohkura
and I thought to myself, "Now's the time!"
[06:40] Gakuto
Okay, I get it. Now, get off
me. You're in my face.
[06:44] Chiaki
Quickly, accurately, and efficiently!
[06:47] All
Yes!
[06:48] Kogawa
I've finished scoring the first one!
[06:50] Yuki
Um, President...
[06:51] Yuki
This person got most of the answers right,
[06:54] Yuki
but somehow, all the answers from
Question 4 onward are a space off.
[06:58] Chiaki
Huh? Who did that?
[07:00] Yuki
Does that mean...
[07:02] Chiaki
Naturally. Mark them all as incorrect.
[07:04] Yuki
What a waste...
[07:06] Chiaki
The high-ranking players with the
real skills are a cut above the others.
[07:09] Chiaki
They're even getting the toughest
questions we could throw at them.
[07:13] Chiaki
I look forward to the remaining rounds.
SIGN Question 2
SIGN June Bride
[07:16] Kujou
The answer to Question 2 was "June bride."
[07:19] Ohkura
You haven't been to a meet
since last summer, have you?
[07:22] Gakuto
Guess not.
[07:23] Ohkura
Does this mean you're back
on the quiz bowl scene?
[07:25] Gakuto
I don't believe I ever left.
[07:28] Ohkura
But Senpai mourned the loss of
his most promising rookie, his ace.
[07:35] Gakuto
Losing one or two members doesn't
diminish Kaijou's strength one bit.
[07:40] Gakuto
Besides, no matter where I go,
I can still do quiz bowl.
[07:44] Mari
They're announcing the answers.
[07:45] Inoue
Huh? We don't get our answer sheets back?
[07:49] Mari
I guess not. Just like with entrance exams,
[07:52] Mari
people who want to know how they
did can grade their own work.
[07:54] Shiki
I guess this was a step too far, after all.
[07:56] Shiki
Current affairs, anime,
show business, fashion...
[07:59] Shiki
I can't keep up with all
this new information.
[08:02] Jinko
Probably 'cause you're always
readin' stuffy old books.
[08:05] Shiki
I tend to lean more toward the
classics, because I like them best.
[08:09] Shiki
My mom always tells me I got
my taste in books from my dad.
[08:14] Shiki
He died, though.
[08:19] Shiki
Even now, I still binge-read
his books all the time.
[08:22] Shiki
And they're all masterpieces
from way back when.
[08:26] Shiki
But I think I might need to start
reading different kinds of books.
[08:32] Inoue
You can take it slow, can't you?
[08:34] Mari
It's awesome that your knowledge
came from reading your dad's books.
[08:37] Mari
That's a fine weapon to have.
[08:39] Gakuto
Mastering your best subject, or
conquering categories you don't excel in...

waiting for: your rankings on the paper quiz.

[09:51] Ohkura
When the exact number is unknown,
[09:53] Ohkura
you make a rough, theoretical
estimate based on a few assumptions.
[09:58] Ohkura
The Fermi estimate.
[09:59] Ohkura
That's probably how Sasajima calculated it.
[10:01] Gakuto
I looked it up on Asagaoka's

I knew it might turn up on the quiz.

quiz will have two answers.

The buzzer of the participant
who buzzes in first will blink,

and their partner's will glow.
[12:31] Yuki
The question will continue to be
read until two people have buzzed in.
SIGN Quiz Quiz / Quiz /
SIGN Up to Two Can Answer Each Question
[12:35] Yuki
Up to two participants can earn the
right to answer each question.
[12:38] Yuki
If both members of
a pairing answer correctly,
[12:41] Yuki
it counts as three "Right" marks,
[12:43] Yuki
but they must answer in the
order that they buzzed.
[12:45] Yuki
There will be no conferring.
[12:47] Gakuto
Pairs? Two correct answers per
question? Two can buzz in?
[12:50] Gakuto
You've really thought this out, Asagaoka!
[12:52] Shiki
Are these rules uncommon?
[12:54] Gakuto
They're certainly unorthodox.
[12:56] Gakuto
Quiz questions and formats
have infinite possibilities,
[12:58] Gakuto
depending on what the creator comes up with.
[13:01] Gakuto
This should be a good competition.

I'm no good at quiz bowl yet, though.

I'm Fukami, a first-year at Buzou.
[13:17] Mari
I'm not that confident, either.
Let's just try our hardest, okay?
[13:21] Yuki
The first group of pairs in
Round 2 has been determined.
[13:25] Chiaki
Only one pair from each
group can win the round.
[13:29] Chiaki
This will test the love
between each partner!

Time to make up for botching the paper quiz!
[13:46] Shiki
This is as great as I thought it'd be!

The three largest religions
in the world are Christ—
[13:58] Niina
Buddhism!
[13:59] Gotou
Islam!
[14:00] Chiaki
Correct.

Numerated format...
SIGN Q: The three largest religions in the world are
Christianity, what, and what? A: Buddhism, Islam
[14:04] Shiki
I get it!
[14:05] Shiki
Since there are two answers, the
determining points are different!
[14:08] Jinko
What do ya mean by that?
[14:10] Inoue
If you buzz in where you would if the question
had only one answer, you'll be too late.

Of all the prefectural capitals, the kanji
meaning "capital" is used in which—
[14:21] Shiki
All of their reactions
slowed for an instant.
[14:23] Shiki
So even if the question's easy,
[14:25] Shiki
the answer doesn't come to mind easily
when there are a lot of possible answers?
[14:29] Miyazaki
Uh... Kyoto!
[14:31] Niina
No way! I was gonna say Kyoto!
[14:34] Chiaki
Please give the other answer.
[14:36] Niina
It's not Tokyo...
[14:38] Niina
Utsunomiya... That's it! Utsunomiya!
SIGN Q: Of all the prefectural capitals, the kanji meaning
"capital" is used in which two names? A: Kyoto, Utsunomiya
[14:42] Shiki
So you have to come up with both answers...
[14:44] Shiki
That makes it much harder
if you're the second to guess.
SIGN Fukami x Yagi
SIGN Niina x Takahashi
[14:48] Yagi
Sorry, Fukami-san. I can't even buzz in.
[14:51] Mari
It's okay. I can't, either.
[14:53] Mari
But it's still early.
[14:56] Mari
In questions with two answers, the harder
answer tends to be left till last.
[15:00] Mari
But that doesn't always mean the
second one will be hard to guess.
[15:03] Kujou
Question.
[15:04] Kujou
Napoleon's invasion of Russia is
the backdrop for Tolstoy's—
[15:08] Shiki
Fukami-san buzzed in!
[15:10] Chiaki
Please give the first answer.
[15:12] Niina
War and—
[15:13] Niina
Crap! I added the "and"!
[15:15] Mari
Sometimes the first answer gives
a hint that leads to the second.
[15:20] (Flashback) Mari
War and...
[15:22] Mari
Peace.
[15:22] Chiaki
Correct.
SIGN Q: Napoleon's invasion of Russia is the backdrop for

Each of the other pairs

[15:32] Mari
Yagi-san, let's buzz in on the next one.
[15:34] Yagi
Huh? But I might get it wrong!
[15:36] Mari
The questions haven't
been that difficult so far.
[15:39] Mari
And in fastest finger, if you
don't earn the right to answer,
[15:42] Mari
you get nowhere.
[15:45] Yagi
Okay!
[15:46] Kujou
Question.
[15:47] Kujou
The countries whose official
names include "United States"—
[15:51] Chiaki
That was impressive!
[15:52] Chiaki
The Fukami x Yagi pair has the
exclusive right to answer!
[15:55] Chiaki
The first answer, please, Fukami-san.
[15:57] Yagi
Um... The first one that comes to mind
is America, but the other one...
[16:03] Mari
The United Mexican States.
[16:06] Chiaki
Correct. The second answer, please.
[16:08] Yagi
America!
SIGN Q: The countries whose official names include "United States" are

That gives them four in

All right!
[16:24] Jinko
They just need one more!
[16:25] Chiaki
Only one pair from each

I won't lose this!

Yes!
[16:40] Mari
The Tigris River!

The Fukami x Yagi pairing has won the round!
[16:45] Yuki
Congratulations!
[16:51] Shiki
Fukami-san made it to Round 3!

teamwork with her partner led her to victory.

Have fun!
[17:06] Inoue
O-Okay!
[17:08] Inoue
I just hope I get a strong partner...
[17:13] Mari
He's with Maruyama-kun from Miyaura!
[17:15] Shiki
It's nice to get someone we know.
[17:17] Maruyama
Well, we did have a joint practice together.
[17:20] Maruyama
Let's do this thing.
[17:21] Inoue
What are your best categories?
[17:23] Maruyama
Classics. Omnivores.
[17:25] Inoue
Is that even a category?
[17:27] Chiaki
We will now begin.
[17:29] Kujou
Question.
[17:30] Kujou
Leading out from the human
heart are two major arteries—
[17:33] Chiaki
Kumada-kun from Kaijou buzzed in first.
[17:35] Kumada
Aorta.
[17:37] Chiaki
Nakamura-kun from Kannami
buzzed in second.
[17:39] Nakamura
Pulmonary artery.
SIGN Q: Leading out from the human heart are two major
arteries known as what and what? A: Aorta, pulmonary artery
[17:41] Maruyama
Damn, that was fast!
[17:43] Inoue
Hey, aren't you good at classics?!
[17:45] Inoue
That sounded like a classic!
You should've buzzed!
[17:47] Maruyama
I did!
[17:48] Jinko
They're arguin'. Think they'll be okay?
SIGN Kumada x Hirosue
SIGN Maruyama x Inoue
SIGN Nakamura x Nakazawa
[17:52] Maruyama
This is hopeless.
[17:54] Inoue
I can't buzz in time.
[17:55] Shiki
You buzz in when you think you can get
it, then use your thinking time wisely.
[18:00] Shiki
We've gone over that a ton in practice.
[18:02] Shiki
You can do it!
[18:03] Mari
It's not that Inoue-kun and his
partner don't know the answer.
[18:06] Mari
They just need to buzz faster.
[18:08] Jinko
Really?
[18:09] Gakuto
The question is whether they can answer
within five seconds after buzzing.
[18:12] Gakuto
Making that judgment within a mere 0.01 seconds...
[18:15] Gakuto
If you hesitate, you'll be beaten.
[18:17] Gakuto
When you have to weigh up the risk
of getting a wrong answer,
[18:22] Gakuto
you might have no choice
but to be a little reckless.
[18:25] Jinko
Just don't let 'em beat ya
in spirit, no matter what!
[18:28] Kujou
Question.
SIGN Kumada x Hirosue
SIGN Maruyama x Inoue
SIGN Nakamura x Nakazawa
[18:29] Kujou
Japan is home to two types of wildcats—
[18:32] Inoue
Oh, you're second!
[18:34] Maruyama
Yeah, but... Sorry, I only
know one of the answers.
[18:38] Kumada
Iriomote cat.
[18:40] Chiaki
Maruyama-kun, the second answer, please.
[18:42] Maruyama
As if I know! Uraomote cat!
SIGN Q: Japan is home to two types of wildcats, the
what and the what? A: Iriomote cat, Tsushima cat
[18:46] Chiaki
The other answer was the Tsushima cat.
[18:49] Shiki
The scary part about this format is
when you lose the race to buzz in first
[18:53] Shiki
and end up unwillingly being
the second to buzz in.
SIGN Group
SIGN Tani x Suwa
SIGN Kumada x Hirosue
SIGN Maruyama x Inoue
SIGN Nakamura x Nakazawa
SIGN Inamori x Namiki
[18:56] Chiaki
That's one "Wrong" mark for
the Maruyama x Inoue pairing.
[18:58] Chiaki
They can't get any more questions wrong.
[19:00] Chiaki
One pair has four "Right" marks.
The next question could decide the round!
[19:04] Maruyama
Is this the end?
[19:05] Inoue
I wanted to answer at least one...
[19:08] Kujou
Question.
[19:10] Kujou
The "Three Views of Japan"—
[19:12] Jinko
He buzzed!
[19:13] Shiki
There?!
[19:14] Mari
Too soon!
[19:15] Chiaki
The Maruyama x Inoue pair has
the exclusive right to answer!
[19:18] Shiki
For the "Three Views of Japan,"
do they want the locations?
[19:21] Mikuriya
Judging from how the questions
have been up to this point,
[19:23] Mikuriya
it's probably just the standard
Three Views of Japan.
[19:26] Niina
The crucial part is which two of the
three answers they're looking for.
[19:30] Inoue
I buzzed in just because I
heard a term I knew, but...
SIGN Three Views of Japan
[19:34] Inoue
The Three Views of Japan
I learned in middle school
[19:35] Inoue
are Matsushima, Miyajima,
and Amanohashidate.
SIGN Matsushima
SIGN Miyajima
SIGN Amanohashidate
[19:39] Chiaki
The first answer, please, Inoue-kun.
[19:41] Inoue
Well, I know two of those are the answers.
[19:44] Inoue
N-No problem! I just need to say one!
[19:50] Inoue
I have to bet it all on a
two-out-of-three chance!
[19:54] Inoue
Amanohashidate!
[19:57] Chiaki
Inoue-kun, that's incorrect.
[19:59] Chiaki
Unfortunately, the Maruyama x
Inoue pairing has two "Wrong" marks,
[20:03] Chiaki
and has been disqualified.
[20:05] Inoue
Man, I lost.
[20:08] Inoue
But I guess them's the breaks.
[20:10] Shiki
Inoue...
[20:12] Mari
You tried really hard, though!
[20:14] Mari
It takes guts to buzz in that early!
[20:17] Inoue
It blew up in my face, though.
[20:19] Gakuto
If there had been one correct answer,
[20:21] Gakuto
Amanohashidate might have
been the right guess.
SIGN Matsushima
Miyajima
Amanohashidate
SIGN The Three Views of Japan
[20:25] Gakuto
In numerated format questions,
one of the possible answers
[20:29] Gakuto
is usually radically different,
[20:32] Gakuto
while the other two have
something in common.
SIGN Matsushima
Miyajima
Amanohashidate
[20:35] Gakuto
And when there's only one answer,
the one that's different is usually correct.
SIGN Matsushima
Miyajima
Amanohashidate
[20:42] Gakuto
But when questions in the numerated
format have two answers...
[20:46] Shiki
I get it! It works the opposite way,
SIGN Matsushima
Miyajima
Amanohashidate
SIGN The Three Views of Japan
[20:48] Shiki
so the two that are similar are the answers!
SIGN Matsushima
Miyajima
Amanohashidate
[20:50] Gakuto
But there's no guarantee that the question's
composition will follow any sort of rule.
[20:57] Gakuto
And that's why determining
points are crucial.
[21:01] Shiki
That's really interesting...
[21:03] Shiki
It's not just the people answering that
have to think about the questions.
[21:11] Yuki
Participants in the next
group, please get ready.
[21:16] Shiki
Here I go.
[21:19] Inoue
That kid...
[21:20] Inoue
Every time he learns something
new, he calls it "interesting."
[21:24] Inoue
I just feel more and more
like I can't keep up.
[21:29] Jinko
If ya ask me, I think you're pretty
amazin' yourself, Taishou.
[21:33] Inoue
Huh?
[21:34] Jinko
Mari, you were sayin' the
same thing, weren't ya?
[21:36] Jinko
About how it takes guts to buzz in.
[21:39] Jinko
Competitions are a game of chance.
Today's loss will lead to tomorrow's win!
[21:43] Jinko
Ya did just great!
[21:45] Inoue
Jinko-san... Thank ya kindly!
[21:48] Jinko
What's with that Kansai dialect?
Your pronunciation's all wrong.
[21:50] Inoue
Huh?
[21:53] Shiki
It's not just the people answering
that think about the questions.
[21:57] Shiki
The people who write the
questions think hard about them,
[22:01] Shiki
and a lot of detailed planning
goes into coming up with them.
[22:06] Shiki
If I can read into that and understand it...
[22:09] Yuki
Well, it's time for the next
group to start, Onee-sama.
[22:14] Chiaki
Which pairing will advance to Round 3?

Round 2 was a "fastest finger" showdown.
[00:33] Jinko
The Fukami x Yagi pairin'
won their group easy.
[00:36] Jinko
In the followin' group, the
Maruyama x Inoue pairin'...
[00:39] Jinko

[00:42] Jinko
The Kumada x Hirosue pairin'
went through instead.
[00:45] Inoue
Sure, I lost, but I have no regrets!
[00:48] Jinko
Yep, yep. You did jus' great, pardner!
[00:51] Jinko
And now, it's finally Shiki-kun's turn!
[00:55] Shiki
It's not just the people answering
that think about the questions.
[00:59] Shiki
The people who write the
questions think hard about them,
[01:03] Shiki
and a lot of detailed planning
goes into coming up with them.
[01:08] Shiki
If I can read into that and understand it...
[01:12] Yuki
Well, it's time for the next
group to start, Onee-sama.
[01:16] Chiaki
Which pairing will advance to Round 3?
SIGN Question 9: "High Road x Low Road"
[03:06] Shiki
This regular meet holds
special meaning for me.
[03:11] (Flashback) Mikuriya
The regular meet in June is up next.
[03:13] (Flashback) Shiki
Huh?
[03:14] (Flashback) Mikuriya
Revenge!
[03:16] (Flashback) Mikuriya
I'm telling you...
[03:18] (Flashback) Mikuriya
to do quiz bowl!
[03:21] Shiki
To get revenge on Mikuriya-kun,
[03:24] Shiki
I have to win this round
[03:26] Shiki
and face Mikuriya-kun in Round 3.
[03:31] Chiaki
Have you all drawn your cards?
[03:34] Shiki
So, who am I paired with?
[03:36] Akira
Oh, we have the same card!
[03:38] Akira
Hi there, partner.
[03:40] Shiki
Oh... I'm Koshiyama,
first-year at Buzou High School.
[03:43] Akira
I know.
[03:45] Mari
Hey, isn't that...
[03:47] Inoue
It's the kid we ran into by
the vending machine at lunch.
[03:50] Akira
I'm Sonohara. I'm a third-year
at Sekigawata Middle School.
[03:53] Akira
I'm new to our club.
[03:56] Shiki
Wait, are you...
[03:59] Akira
Man, he figured it out already?
[04:01] Shiki
...the Asagaoka club president's
younger brother? Sonohara, right?
[04:05] Akira
Oh, that's what he meant?
[04:07] Akira
That's right. I'm her brother, Akira.
[04:10] Kenmochi
He's adorable!
[04:12] Kogawa
President Sonohara's
younger brother, he said!
[04:15] Mikuriya
I've seen Koshiyama's partner
somewhere before...
[04:19] Chiaki
The last group has been decided.
[04:21] Yuki
Coincidentally, all the middle
schoolers are in this one!
[04:24] Chiaki
We will now begin.
[04:30] Kujou
Question.
[04:31] Kujou
In America, major league
baseball is comprised of—
[04:36] Mukai
The little squirts are fast!
[04:38] Chiaki
The winners of the right to answer are
Ohara-kun, Kaijou Middle School first-year,
[04:41] Chiaki
and Sekigawata Middle School
first-year, Sasaki-kun.
[04:44] Ohara
American League.
[04:45] Chiaki
Correct.
[04:46] Sasaki
National League.
[04:48] Chiaki
Correct.
SIGN Q: In America, major league baseball is comprised of
two leagues: what and what? A. American, National
[04:49] Mouri
They were in elementary school
until just a few months ago!
[04:52] Shiki
I know how fast Sasaki-kun is on the buzzer.
[04:54] Shiki
And a middle schooler from
Kaijou beat him to the punch...
SIGN Group
SIGN Mouri x Ohara
SIGN Sonohara x Koshiyama
SIGN Sasaki x Ima
SIGN Mukai x Yasuura
[04:57] Shiki
Good thing those two aren't a pair.
[05:00] Akira
So...
[05:01] Akira
The first pair to get five
"Right" marks wins, right?
[05:04] Shiki
Right. And if we answer correctly
as a pair, we get three "Rights."
[05:08] Shiki
But we can only answer
wrong once, so be careful.
[05:11] Mukai
It's too early to take risks, isn't it?
[05:14] Shiki
What to do? What should I do?
[05:18] Shiki
If I try to buzz at the determining point,
[05:20] Shiki
I think it'll be too late.
[05:23] Shiki
I need to be...
[05:25] Shiki
faster!
[05:27] Kujou
Question.
[05:28] Kujou
A classic string quartet uses four inst—
[05:33] Chiaki
Koshiyama-kun of Buzou has
won the right to answer first.
[05:36] Shiki
The category is music...
[05:37] Chiaki
Second is Mukai-kun of Miyaura.
[05:40] Mukai
I buzzed reflexively
because Koshiyama did!
[05:43] Shiki
The string instruments used
in a string quartet...
[05:47] Mari
Four to choose from...
[05:49] Shiki
If the question is really
that straightforward...
[05:52] Mikuriya
Which two are the answers?
[05:54] Shiki
There are four, but the question is easy.
[05:58] Shiki
The instruments in a string quartet
[06:00] Shiki
are the first violin, second
violin, cello, and viola.
[06:04] Shiki
What sticks out is that two of
them are the same instrument.
[06:07] Shiki
No matter how I look at it,
the question has to be,
[06:11] Shiki
"a classic string quartet uses four
instruments: two violins plus what and what?"
[06:16] Shiki
Mukai-kun buzzed second.
[06:20] Chiaki
Three, two...
[06:22] Shiki
Which means the answer I should give...
[06:25] Shiki
is this one!
[06:27] Shiki
Cello.
[06:27] Mikuriya
Just listen to that confidence.
[06:32] Chiaki
Correct.
[06:34] Chiaki
Mukai-kun, the other answer, please.
[06:37] Mukai
O-Okay... Violin!
[06:40] Mukai
That was all I could think of!
SIGN Q: A classic string quartet uses four instruments:
first violin, second violin, what, and what? A: Cello, viola
[06:42] Chiaki
Sorry. The second answer was "viola."
[06:45] Shiki
Sorry, I left the harder answer for you.
[06:49] Chiaki
The Koshiyama x Sonohara pairing
earns one "Right" mark,
SIGN Group
SIGN Mouri x Ohara
SIGN Sonohara x
Koshiyama
SIGN Sasaki x Ima
SIGN Mukai x Yasuura
[06:52] Chiaki
and the Yasuura x Mukai pairing
now has one "Wrong" mark.
[06:55] Shibata
That first-year from Buzou is pretty good.
[06:57] Ohkura
Sasajima must be training him well.
[07:00] Konoe
Nah, I bet that answer
was just a wild guess.
[07:02] Akira
Wow! I can't believe you
figured it out from just that!
[07:06] Shiki
Yeah...
[07:07] Shiki
But there was really no way to be absolutely
sure until the two violins were read.
[07:12] Shiki
I wanted the right to answer,
[07:13] Shiki
so I got a bit hasty and buzzed
before the determining point,
[07:16] Shiki
but I'm glad I still got it right.
[07:18] Akira
Hm... Determining point, huh?
[07:22] Akira
Okay, then, next time...
[07:24] Akira
I'll buzz in.
[07:26] Shiki
Huh?
[07:27] Kujou
Question.
[07:29] Kujou
In th—
[07:36] Akira
It lit up!
[07:39] Mikuriya
Finger slipped? No...
[07:41] Ashiya
He took a dive on purpose.
[07:45] Shiki
Hey, that's right! She'll keep
reading the question!
[07:48] Kujou
In the name of the wireless LAN
technology, "Wi-Fi," the "Wi" and—
[07:51] Chiaki
Th-The right to answer first goes
to Sonohara-kun of Sekigawata.
[07:54] Yuki
Second is Sasaki-kun of Sekigawata.
[07:57] Shiki
Everyone was so distracted
by Akira-kun's buzz,
[07:59] Shiki
it slowed down our reactions
to buzz in second.
[08:01] Akira
Let's see... What was the question again?
[08:04] Akira
Oh, Wi-Fi, right?
[08:06] Shiki
Why is he waiting until now to think?
[08:06] Akira
The "Wi" is...
[08:08] Akira
Wireless.
[08:09] Chiaki
Correct.
[08:10] Shiki
O-Of course!
[08:11] Chiaki
The second answer, Sasaki-kun, please.
[08:14] Sasaki
Fidelity.
SIGN Q: In the name of the wireless LAN technology, "Wi-Fi," the
"Wi" and "Fi" stand for what and what? A: Wireless, Fidelity
[08:15] Chiaki
Correct.
[08:16] Jinko
Can people really answer questions
just by hearin' one word?
[08:21] Inoue
I don't think one word is enough for
anyone to determine the answer.
[08:24] Inoue
Is it like Mikuriya with "Why climb"?
[08:26] Mari
I don't think so.
[08:28] Gakuto
He buzzed in early,
[08:30] Gakuto
but he was still able to hear the question
until it reached a determining point.
SIGN Group
SIGN Mouri x Ohara
SIGN Sonohara x Koshiyama
SIGN Sasaki x Kon
SIGN Mukai x Yasuura
[08:34] Gakuto
He found the flaw in the
rule set of this round.
[08:37] Shiki
But even if you know the answers, it's
not easy to do something that risky.
[08:41] Shiki
Akira-kun...
[08:43] Shiki
You knew you'd hear more of the
question until the second buzz.
[08:45] Shiki
That's why you buzzed, right?
[08:47] Shiki
Because you knew no one would
buzz before that point.
[08:49] Mukai
S-Seriously?
[08:51] Mouri
That little brat!
[08:53] Akira
That's right.
[08:55] Akira
I never could've guessed it
from just that one word.
[08:58] Akira
No one else is going to buzz before
that "point" thing comes along, right?
[09:02] Akira
So it'll work out the same way
whenever the first person buzzes in.
[09:06] Akira
We get to hear more of the question until
someone else buzzes in second, anyway.
[09:11] Akiri
Besides, there haven't been any questions yet
in this round where both answers were hard.
[09:16] Shiki
He's right.
[09:17] Shiki
Since we only have to
get one of two answers,
[09:19] Shiki
all the questions so far
have been relatively easy.
[09:23] Shiki
He calculated all this?
[09:25] Akira
Super successful, wouldn't you say?
[09:28] Maruyama
So no matter when the first person
buzzes, it ends up the same?
[09:31] Maruyama
I didn't realize the
rules had that loophole.
[09:33] Mikuriya
Don't be fooled, idiot.
[09:35] Maruyama
What?
[09:35] Mikuriya
It was a dick move that
only works the first time.
[09:39] Ashiya
You and Inoue-kun took a
dive and guessed wrong.
[09:42] Ashiya
Mukai's finger slipped when Koshiyama-kun
buzzed early, and he guessed wrong, too.
[09:46] Ashiya
They all tried to estimate when the others
would be more cautious about buzzing,
[09:50] Ashiya
taking advantage of a
psychological weakness.
[09:52] Maruyama
Yuck...
[09:52] Mikuriya
That won't work a second time.
[09:56] Kujou
Question.
[09:57] Kujou
A—
[09:59] Yuki
Did the Ohara x Mouri pairing
buzz in accidentally?
[10:02] Mouri
Why'd you buzz in?!
[10:03] Ohara
Why did you?!
[10:04] Chiaki
Since both are unable to answer, they get
two "Wrong" marks and are disqualified.
[10:08] Akira
Yes, I love it! What a blast!
[10:10] Shiki
Uh, Akira-kun...
[10:12] Akira
You've gotta be adventurous
or it's no fun, right?
[10:15] Akira
It's a game, after all.
[10:19] Guy
What's with that kid?
[10:20] Guy
He's creeping me out.
[10:23] Yuki
President Sonohara?
[10:24] Chiaki
Please do not talk among yourselves.
[10:26] Chiaki
Continuing to do so will lead
to instant disqualification.
[10:29] Akira
Aw...
[10:32] Akira
Okay. Sorry.
[10:34] Yuki
Um, as for the current scores...
[10:37] Yuki
The remaining Sonohara x Koshiyama
pairing and Sasaki x Kon pairing are tied.
SIGN Group
SIGN Mouri x Ohara | Sonohara x Koshiyama | Sasaki x Kon | Mukai x Yasuura
[10:42] Yuki
The Yasuura x Mukai pair has one "Wrong"
mark, putting them in a tight spot.
[10:46] Jinko
So if they answer right as a pair...
[10:48] Inoue
They get three "Right" marks.
[10:49] Jinko
So if Shiki-kun and his partner answer
right as a pair, they can win?
[10:53] Inoue
Right, but I have a bad feeling
about where this is going...
[11:00] Sasaki
Get it together! Just do
this like I always do!
[11:03] Sasaki
I won't lose to a senior who
treats this like a joke!
[11:06] Mukai
I have to focus!
[11:09] Kujou
Question.
[11:10] Kujou
The Roman god of erotic
love, Cupid, had two—
[11:13] Sasaki
Yes!
[11:13] Mukai
That's a classic!
[11:14] Shiki
I was too slow!
[11:16] Sasaki
Golden arrows!
[11:17] Chiaki
Correct.
[11:18] Mukai
Lead arrows!
SIGN Q: The Roman god of erotic love, Cupid, had two types
of arrows: what and what? A: Golden arrows, lead arrows
[11:19] Chiaki

[11:26] Shiki
I'm first!
[11:27] Sasaki
Don't rush.

I got this!
[11:39] Shiki
Even if I win the right to answer,
SIGN Sonohara x
Koshiyama
SIGN Sasaki x Kon
[11:41] Shiki
Sasaki-kun will most likely
be the other one to buzz in.
[11:45] Shiki
I can't stop him by myself.
[11:47] Shiki
Mukai-kun's pairing has one "Wrong"
mark, so they'll play it safe.
[11:51] Shiki
They can't beat Sasaki-kun for speed.
[11:55] Akira
I sure would like to answer
one more question.
[11:58] Shiki
I shouldn't expect much help from him...
[12:01] Akira
Hey, Koshiyama-kun.
[12:04] Akira
Push my button, too.
[12:07] Shiki
Wh-What?! I can't do that!
[12:11] Akira
Sure you can.
[12:12] Akira
See?
[12:15] Akira
Like this.
SIGN Sasajima
[12:29] Akira
You can push both like this, right?

Oh, boy.
[12:33] Inoue
What's he doing?
[12:34] Inoue
Is that allowed?!
[12:37] Kogawa
Now that's what I call a BL buzz-in!
[12:39] Kenmochi
Senpai.
[12:40] Akira
I don't know which one will light up first,
[12:43] Akira
but if it works, you can
be both first and second!
[12:46] Shiki
N-No... I want to do this properly...
[12:50] Akira
Yeah, but if he buzzes in, we lose, right?
[12:54] Akira
Let's get the next one right
as a pair so we can win!
[12:59] Yuki
Are they allowed to buzz that way?
[13:02] Akira
What? Were there any rules in
the program about how you can
[13:07] Akira
and can't push the button?
[13:10] Akira
I'm still holding my own buzzer, too.
[13:13] Akira
It's not against any rules, is it?
[13:14] Akira
Do you really think you'll win the
right to answer by buzzing that way?
[13:19] Ashiya

He suddenly showed up about two weeks ago.

All right! Thank you!
[13:45] Niina
But exams started right after
that, and the club took a break,
[13:50] Niina
so I honestly didn't have time
to figure out what he was like.
[13:55] Kenmochi
Are President Sonohara and
her brother on bad terms?
[13:58] Kogawa
He's being really provocative.
[14:00] Chiaki
It's not as if we don't get along.
[14:03] Chiaki
To Akira, this is just a game.
[14:06] Chiaki
A mean-spirited game he plays only
to rile others up and toy with them.
[14:11] Akira
If you don't do it, we'll
lose. That okay with you?
[14:14] Shiki
But...
[14:15] Akira
If anyone can do it, it's you.
[14:18] Chiaki
I thought getting into quiz bowl and
making friends might change him a bit,

but I guess that'd be too easy.

What should we do?

Very well. Continue with the question.

the exclusive right to answer!

They really lit up both of 'em!
[15:12] Inoue
By doing it that way?!

What'll be important is whether his
first answer is correct or not.
[15:19] Chiaki
First, Sonohara-kun.
[15:21] Akira
Let's see... Kanji with a stroke count of...
[15:24] Akira
One?
[15:26] Chiaki
Correct.
[15:27] Akira
Oh, that was right?
[15:28] Shiki
Wasn't he just reciting
the rest of the question?
[15:32] Chiaki
The second answer, Koshiyama-kun, please.
[15:36] Shiki
Commonly used kanji with only one stroke...
[15:39] Shiki
The one-stroke kanji are "ichi" and...
[15:43] Shiki
"Otsu."
[15:44] Chiaki
Correct.
SIGN Q: The commonly used kanji with a stroke
count of one are what and what? A: Ichi, otsu

[16:52] Mikuriya
Why are you right there?!
[16:54] Inoue
Something about the way it seems
like he's mocking people...
[16:56] Ashiya
I thought he looked familiar, too.
[16:59] Mikuriya
Actually... I do, too.
[17:02] Mikuriya

Aren't you, Lieutenant Colonel Chisato?

Nice goin', Shiki-kun!
[17:20] Mari
Congratulations, Koshiyama-kun!
[17:22] Shiki
Thanks.
[17:23] Gakuto
You ended up being saved by your partner,
[17:26] Gakuto
but you did well to advance to Round 3.
[17:28] Gakuto
Let's go over the Round 3 rules
during the twenty-minute break.
[17:33] Shiki
Okay.
[17:34] Niina
Sonohara.
[17:36] Akira
I did it, President Niina!
[17:38] Akira
I'm the only one from Sekigawata
to advance to Round 3!
[17:43] Akira
I'll do my best!
[17:45] Niina
There's something I need to say to you,
as Sekigawata's quiz club president.
[17:50] Akira
What is it?
[17:53] Niina
Even if it wasn't against the rules,
[17:55] Niina
I can't let someone who rode roughshod
over etiquette participate in Round 3.
[18:03] Niina
You can go home now.
[18:16] Akira
Go home? That's harsh.
[18:19] Akira
I didn't know anything
about quiz bowl etiquette.
[18:22] Niina
This concerns more than just quiz bowl.
[18:24] Niina
What gives you the right to take that
attitude toward the other participants?
[18:27] Niina
If you're just in it for
kicks, take it elsewhere.
[18:30] Niina
You're ruining it for everyone else.
[18:31] Nakazawa
Hey, Niina...
[18:32] Sasaki
I've never seen President Niina like this.
[18:35] Kon
Despite appearances, he fits
the role of club president.
[18:45] Akira
I'm sorry... I wasn't in it just for kicks.
[18:51] Akira
When I'm having fun,
I just get so wound up...
[19:01] Nakazawa
Oh, now he's crying...
[19:02] Kon
You made him cry.
[19:03] Niina
Huh? Who... me?
[19:05] Akira
I just wanted to be in quiz
bowl with everyone...
[19:08] Niina
Hey, come on... You're a middle
school third-year! Quit crying!
[19:12] Akira
I just wanted to do quiz bowl...
[19:14] Niina
Well, then, can you show
some manners next time?
[19:17] Akira
I can!
[19:20] Niina
You'd better promise.
[19:23] Ashiya
Niina...
[19:27] Akira
Tee-hee.
[19:31] Sasaki
Y-You can't let him trick you like that!
[19:39] Shiki
This is a circus!

Koshiyama! Koshiyama!
[19:45] Inoue
Over here.
[19:47] Shiki
Huh? Inoue, why're you over there?
[19:49] Inoue
We figured out who that kid is!
[19:52] Shiki
Who he is?
[19:54] Shiki
What?! Akira-kun's the girl who
interrupted us in the arcade in Akiba?!
[20:02] Inoue
It's definitely him!
[20:04] Inoue
He actually called Mikuriya
"Lieutenant Colonel Chisato"!
[20:06] Mikuriya
I'll crush him.
[20:08] Shiki
H-Huh?
[20:12] Maruyama
What's this about Akiba and an arcade?
[20:14] Mukai
And what's "Lieutenant
Colonel Chisato" about?
[20:16] Shiki
Does that mean...
[20:18] Shiki
Akira-kun's a girl?!
[20:21] Ashiya
Uh, no. Calm down, Koshiyama-kun.
[20:24] Ashiya
Still, between the provocative
attitude and the tricky tactics,
[20:29] Ashiya
she—I mean, he definitely
sees this as just a game.

We'd like you to refrain from such
combative behavior from now on.
[02:08] Akira
Is that a challenge?
[02:09] Niina
Sonohara!

He's one energetic middle

[02:13] Hanabusa
What's the problem, anyway?
He didn't break any rules.
[02:17] Hanabusa
I kinda like that play style.
[02:20] Mari
It's true that he didn't
break any rules, but...
[02:22] Shiki
Yeah.
[02:23] Gakuto
This is Kannami's club president,
Hanabusa-san, a third-year,

They're Kannami's top two students and

My club's members are very

The next time he takes things

He beat out the prestigious Kaijou Academy

[06:52] Yuki
You'll earn points toward your initial

[06:56] Yuki
in the multiple answers portion, but if
even one of your answers is incorrect,
[06:59] Yuki
you get zero points.
[07:00] Jinko
Man, that's strict!
[07:02] Inoue
So it's a bad idea to go all out.
[07:04] Chiaki
We'll begin Round 3 with the multiple

SIGN Apostles.......?
[07:19] Yagi
"Apostles?"
[07:22] Mikuriya
Should've known they'd
use a question like this.
[07:25] Jinko
You know this one?
[07:26] Shiki
It's a famous painting,
[07:28] Shiki
and those twelve people
are fairly well-known.
[07:30] Inoue
I don't understand by what standards
you consider that "well-known."
[07:34] Shiki
The painting illustrates
the moment that Christ
[07:38] Shiki
tells his twelve apostles that
one of them will betray him.
[07:42] Mari
The first one that springs to
mind is the traitor, Judas.
[07:45] Mari

[08:48] Chiaki
The crucial bit of the fastest
finger board quiz is that...
[08:52] Chiaki
...buzzing in with a correct
answer earns you three points.
[08:56] Chiaki
Answer incorrectly, and
you lose three points.
[08:59] Chiaki
Answering correctly without
buzzing earns you one point.
[09:03] Chiaki
An incorrect answer will
not change your score.
[09:06] Yuki
Also, being the only player to answer
correctly is worth a bonus point, right?
[09:11] Chiaki
Yes. And the following is at
the core of this round's rules:
[09:15] Chiaki
If you buzz in and answer correctly,
[09:16] Chiaki
you earn the right to alter the
points earned by the other players.
[09:21] Jinko
Alter their points?
[09:23] Chiaki
All three, or even four, of the points
you earn for a correct answer
[09:26] Chiaki
can be added to your own score or subtracted
from another player's score at your discretion.
[09:31] Yuki
So you can add them all to
your own score if you want?

Of course.

Question.
[10:11] Kujou
On this day, June 3, in 1950, Herzog—
[10:16] Chiaki
The first to buzz was...
[10:19] Gakuto
Oh, it was me?
[10:21] Mari
Sasajima-senpai did say he always
keeps a buzzer in his pocket,
[10:24] Mari
but he buzzes from the hip during meets, too?
[10:27] Chiaki
Players, please write down your answer.
[10:29] Chiaki
You'll have 15 seconds to think.
[10:32] Mari
Another date-based question...
I'm glad I didn't buzz in.
[10:36] Chiaki
Show your boards.
[10:38] Chiaki
The correct answer is Annapurna.
SIGN Annapurna
SIGN Q: On this day, June 3, in 1950, Herzog led a French mountaineering
expedition to reach the peak of which 8,000-meter-tall mountain? A. Annapurna
[10:41] Chiaki
Sasajima-kun, since you buzzed
in and answered correctly,
[10:43] Chiaki
you can distribute your
three points as you like.
[10:46] Gakuto
I'll keep them all.
SIGN Sasajima

[10:50] Akira
Wow, he didn't subtract any from anyone.
[10:53] Akira

[10:56] Sasaki
You just don't get it, do you?
[10:58] Sasaki
Competitors with scores that far below
his aren't even worth worrying about.
[11:01] Sasaki
Rather than taking others out,
he chose to win it quickly.
[11:05] Jinko
If he buzzes in and answers
right two more times, he wins!
[11:09] Chiaki
Once again, the first to
buzz was Sasajima-kun.
SIGN Ice cream headache
[11:13] Chiaki
The correct answer gives him three points.
[11:16] Gakuto

[11:20] Chiaki
Sasajima-kun buzzes in for

SIGN Church of the
Holy Cross
[11:24] Chiaki
Correct! He earns three points!
[11:26] Inoue
That was fast!
[11:27] Jinko
That gives him 20 points!
[11:29] Ohara
Konoe-senpai's usually more
aggressive on the buzzer.
[11:33] Ohkura
Trying specifically to beat Sasajima
to the buzzer would be the same
[11:36] Ohkura
as buzzing reflexively, and likely
to result in a wrong answer.
[11:40] Ohkura
When up against someone you know
is at a higher level than you,
[11:44] Ohkura
sometimes, it's wisest to let them win first.

[11:55] Inoue
With three points, couldn't he just keep
them, smash the 20-point barrier, and win?
[12:00] Jinko
He sure could.
[12:04] Shiki
He has one point left over.
[12:07] Gakuto
I see.
[12:08] Gakuto
So the person who buzzes in and
answers correctly has the right
[12:10] Gakuto
to use his points effectively,
to the very last one, yes?
[12:14] Chiaki
Exactly.
[12:16] Mari
Does that mean he's forced to
subtract a point from someone?
[12:19] Jinko
That's brutal...
[12:21] Inoue
He's already won.
[12:23] Inoue
What do the other guys' scores matter?
[12:26] Shiki
No, he said "to use them effectively."
[12:30] Shiki
The way he chooses to subtract
a point will be significant.
[12:33] Ohkura
Getting a point taken away
by Sasajima now means...
[12:37] Hanabusa
...he could stop a specific
person from going through!
[12:39] Tozuka
It'll be someone he doesn't want
to face in the next round.
[12:42] Konoe
In other words, someone he
acknowledges as being a threat.
[12:47] Gakuto
Then, I'll take a point from
Tozuka-san of Leoneil.

I didn't even hear the question.
[14:09] Shiki
Sasajima-senpai, is it true?
[14:13] Shiki
That you were on Kaijou's quiz team?
[14:16] Gakuto
Yes, I was. But only for six months.
[14:19] Ohkura
But you still left your mark
on the Kaijou quiz bowl team.
[14:23] Ohkura
You hadn't told the members of your new club?
[14:26] Gakuto
There was no opportunity,
nor any need, to bring it up.
[14:29] Shiki
There wasn't?
[14:31] Shiki
The topic of Kaijou did come up a few times.
[14:34] Shiki
It wouldn't have seemed
out of place to tell us then.
[14:37] Mari
What now? I can't concentrate...
[14:41] Ohkura
That Fukami girl... Is she Fukami Seiji's...
[14:44] Gakuto
It seems so.
[14:45] Shiki
So you do know Fukami-san's brother?
[14:49] Ohkura
Fukami and Sasajima
were the best of rivals.
[14:52] Both
Huh?!
[14:53] Ohkura
They competed against each other every day
[14:55] Ohkura
to polish their skills in a battle
to be Kaijou's star player.
[14:58] Ohkura
The atmosphere when they faced
each other was always volatile.
[15:03] Gakuto
Stop making it sound so dramatic, Ohkura.
[15:06] Ohkura
No, let me say it, Sasajima!
[15:08] Ohkura
The day you joined our club
[15:10] Ohkura
and you two faced off
on the buzzers, I knew.
[15:14] Ohkura
I knew you two would carry
Kaijou's quiz team...
[15:16] Ohkura
No, the entire world of

[15:20] Ohkura
But six months later,
[15:23] Ohkura
something happened between you
that only the two of you know about.
[15:27] Ohkura
Then, you left Kaijou, and Fukami
quit quiz bowl altogether.

Fukami-san, how will you
distribute your points?
[17:22] Mari
This is all a waste if I don't enjoy it.
[17:26] Mari
I'll keep two for myself,
[17:29] Mari
and subtract one each from
Konoe-san and Tozuka-san.
[17:33] Both
What?!

[06:19] Mikuriya

[06:21] Mikuriya
That's the perfect difficulty
level for this round.
[06:23] Shiki
And you buzzed in based on that?
[06:25] Mikuriya

points from me, I'd be out anyway.

The correct answer is Utakata no Ki.
[09:46] Yuki
Ohkura-kun and Koshiyama-kun
both answered correctly.
[09:49] Shiki
Yes! That's from Ougai's German trilogy!
[09:52] Akira
Woohoo! Way to go, boss!
[09:54] Ohkura
Don't call me "boss," either!
[09:55] Yuki
Ohkura-kun, please distribute
your three points.
[09:58] Ohkura
Yes... You want to be
disqualified, don't you, kid?
[10:02] Akira
Huh?
[10:03] Shiki
If he loses three points, Akira-kun is out.
[10:09] Ohkura

[10:13] Ohkura

Question.
[10:29] Kujou
American entertainment
industry awards include
[10:31] Kujou
the Emmy Award, Grammy

[10:34] Shiki
I buzzed too late!
[10:35] Yuki
Shibuya-kun buzzed in!
[10:37] Hanabusa
You finally got one, Shibuya!
[10:40] Shiki
If there are four awards, I should've
buzzed on the "A" of "Academy," but...
[10:46] Gakuto
This is a curious question.
[10:48] Jinko
Why's that, Gakuto?
[10:50] Mari
Isn't it just a regular numerated question?
[10:52] Gakuto
No, probably not.
[10:55] Gakuto
Will Koshiyama notice the difference?
[10:58] Yuki
Now, show your boards.
[11:01] Yuki
Here's the rest of the question:
[11:02] Yuki
What's the term used when
someone who wins an Emmy,
[11:05] Yuki
a Grammy, an Academy Award, and a Tony?
[11:08] Yuki
The answer is "Showbiz Grand Slam."
[11:11] Shiki
I knew it!
SIGN Showbiz Grand Slam
[11:12] Yuki
"EGOT" means Emmy, Grammy, Oscar,
and Tony: the four initials.
[11:18] Yuki
That's also correct!
[11:20] Akira
Lucky me! I saw that on TV!
[11:22] Inoue

If it had been a numerical question,
[11:26] Gakuto
the award names would have
been intonated separately.

But the way she read out "Emmy Award" and
"Grammy Award" made them flow together.
[11:34] Mari
So that's why he was slow to buzz in.
[11:38] Shiki
Whew, good! I was able to discern
the difference in the reading!

He had such a hard time
at the Sekigawata meet,

Mikuriya-kun, please
distribute your three points.
[15:56] Mikuriya
If I take enough points off Koshiyama
to block him from advancing,
[16:00] Mikuriya
I'll still only have sixteen points.
[16:02] Mikuriya
That would be the same as helping
Shibata, now that he's catching up.
[16:05] Mikuriya
I need to get within touching
distance of the win first.
[16:08] Mikuriya
If I'm confident in my speed on the
buzzer, seventeen points is all I need.
[16:12] Mikuriya
But nothing is absolute.
[16:13] Mikuriya
If it was just me and Koshiyama,
that'd be one thing,
[16:15] Mikuriya
but Shibata and Shibuya are here, too.
[16:17] Mikuriya
And I've already been too slow
to buzz in several times.
[16:20] Maruyama
You don't often see Mikuriya
thinking that hard.
[16:23] Ashiya

points at the same time,
[16:43] Inoue

[16:46] Shiki
Even if Mikuriya-kun only gets
one point for a correct answer,

if I buzz in and answer correctly for
three points, I'll take the lead.
[16:55] Mikuriya

[17:06] Shiki
If I don't buzz this time, I could lose.
[17:08] Shiki
I have to be careful... but fast!
[17:13] Kujou

[17:14] Kujou

[17:43] Akira
Specifically...
[17:46] Niina

[17:48] Gakuto
No, it looked intentional that time.
[17:52] Gakuto
Specifically, it was... the fourteenth
question in the first group, I believe?
[17:56] Mari
Oh!
[17:57] (Flashback) Kujou
Continents of the world:
The "cradle of humankind"...
[18:00] Gakuto
"Specifically," as the word suggests,
[18:03] Gakuto
is a signal that what comes next
is the core of the question.
[18:05] Gakuto
It's often used in probability questions,
like the one about the continents.
[18:10] Jinko
The question just now was "All of these
were what day of the week," right?
[18:14] Inoue
Which means it also has
seven possible answers!
[18:17] Gakuto
Sonohara's brother predicted that
the inclusion of "specifically"
[18:21] Gakuto
meant that, however difficult,
it would be a probability question
[18:24] Gakuto
with possible answers that
everyone is familiar with.
[18:27] Chiaki
Everyone has a one-in-seven
chance to answer correctly,
[18:29] Chiaki
even if they don't know the answer.
[18:31] Chiaki
In a way, it's a free question.
[18:33] Chiaki
He plans to rely on intuition, doesn't he?
[18:36] Niina
A one-in-seven possibility...
[18:38] Niina
It's hard to believe he'd bet
everything on that, but...
[18:44] Shiki

Is there a hint within the incident
as to what day it took place?
[18:57] Mikuriya
No, even if I know what the incident
was, I don't know that kind of detail!
[19:04] Mikuriya
Thinking too long about something
I don't know is just a waste of time!
[19:07] Mikuriya

[19:55] Shiki
On May 15th, Showa year 7, at about 5:30 PM,
[19:58] Shiki
several young naval officers
split up into four groups
[20:00] Shiki
with the goal of overthrowing the

[20:02] Shiki
One of those groups infiltrated the

[20:07] Shiki
Even surrounded by naval
officers in uniform,
[20:09] Shiki
Prime Minister Inukai didn't panic,
[20:12] Shiki
but calmly attempted to reason
with them until his final moments.
[20:15] Shiki
But he couldn't stop history's
trigger from being pulled.
[20:20] Shiki

[00:32] Yuki
Why did you think it was Friday?
[00:35] Shibata

[00:39] Shibata
After all, there's a "Black Friday," isn't there?
[00:42] Chiaki
Next, Mikuriya-kun.
[00:44] Chiaki
If his answer is correct,
he'll hit 20 points.
SIGN Sun
[00:47] Mikuriya
Sunday.
[00:50] Yuki
Why do you say Sunday?
[00:52] Mikuriya
Basic arithmetic based
on Zeller's congruence.
[00:56] Yuki
H-H-How about that?
[00:58] Yuki
Mikuriya-kun made his guess of "Sunday"
[01:00] Yuki
using not history, but math!
SIGN Sun
[01:01] Mikuriya
It's not a guess. It's a fixed answer.
[01:05] Yuki
Next is Koshiyama-kun.
[01:08] Shiki
I arrived at my answer in my own way, too.
[01:12] Shiki
Yes.
[01:13] Shiki
I found my answer based on the
third date given: May 15th, 1932.
[01:19] Shiki
That was the date of the coup d'état
[01:21] Shiki
known as the May 15th Incident,
[01:24] Shiki
when Prime Minister Inukai
Tsuyoshi was assassinated...
[01:27] Mikuriya
So he went with the May 15th Incident?
[01:29] Shiki
But I didn't know which
day of the week that was.
[01:33] Shiki
I recalled all the details I'd read about,
[01:35] Shiki
but there was nothing that pointed
to a specific day of the week.
[01:39] Shiki
But then, I remembered.
[01:41] Shiki
One book about the
May 15th Incident said that
[01:43] Shiki
the Prime Minister's wife,
when she learned of the incident,
[01:47] Shiki
rushed to his residence from the
hotel where she'd been staying.
[01:50] Shiki
I read the book when I was in middle school,
[01:54] Shiki
and I remember being surprised that
the Imperial Hotel was around then.
[02:00] Shiki
According to the information in the book,
[02:03] Shiki
his wife was attending a wedding
ceremony being held at the hotel,
[02:07] Shiki
when she rushed back home.
[02:09] Gakuto
Oh-ho?
[02:12] Shiki
In other words...
SIGN Sun
[02:15] Shiki
Because of the wedding,
[02:17] Shiki
that would make it a Sunday, right?
[02:19] Shiki
People didn't have
Saturdays off work back then,
[02:22] Shiki
so most weddings would have taken
place on Sundays or in the holidays.
[02:25] Mikuriya
He got that not from the incident itself,
but from the involvement of a third party?
[02:29] Mari
That's incredible, Koshiyama-kun!
Great deduction!
[02:31] Ashiya
Koshiyama-kun really is interesting.
[02:34] Niina
If he keeps gaining more experience
and getting used to things,
[02:37] Niina
he could be great at quiz bowl.
[02:41] Yuki
Next, Sonohara-kun.
[02:43] Yuki
You were the one who buzzed in.
[02:45] Yuki
Are you feeling confident?
[02:47] Akira
Oh, I just trust my intuition!
[02:50] Chiaki
Intuition, huh?
[02:52] Chiki
If you're wrong, you lose
three points, and you're out.
[02:56] Akira
Oh, that's right!
[03:00] Akira
I don't have any particular
reasoning behind it, but...
[03:03] Akira
Not.
[03:04] Akira
They both said Sunday, didn't they?
[03:07] Akira
In that case...
[03:10] Akira
I've won this little game.
SIGN Sunday
[03:13] Akira
I also said Sunday.
[03:17] Yuki
Okay, we will now reveal the correct answer.
[03:20] Chiaki
The question was, "April 5th, 1722;
[03:23] Chiaki
January 22nd, 1905;
[03:26] Chiaki
and May 15th, 1932.
[03:29] Chiaki
All of these were, specifically,
what day of the week?"
[03:32] Chiaki
The correct answer is Sunday.
[03:37] Ohkura
The first date, April 5th, 1722,
[03:40] Ohkura
was when Easter Island was discovered.
[03:42] Ohkura
It was so named because it was
discovered on Easter Sunday.
[03:47] Gakuto
Oh-ho...
[03:48] Gakuto
And the second date was the Bloody Sunday
massacre during the Russian Revolution.
[03:52] Gakuto
Common knowledge, of course.
[03:55] Yuki
Now, Sonohara-kun, since you
answered correctly after buzzing,
[03:58] Yuki
please distribute your three points.
[04:04] Shiki
Akira-kun?
[04:06] Akira
Isn't this a riot? Everything
I've done to set this game up
[04:10] Akira
has finally led to deciding
who wins and who loses!
[04:13] Akira
Is this game over? Or is there still a chance?
[04:18] Akira
I don't really care whether I win or lose,
[04:21] Akira
but all of you guys want a chance, right?
[04:24] Akira
Just look! They all want me to subtract
points from the guy at the top!
[04:29] Mikuriya
Get on with it. You're wasting our time.
[04:35] Akira
You know, when I'm provoked,
I just can't help responding.
[04:39] Akira
Mikuriya Chisato, I'm subtracting...
[04:42] Akira
three points from you!
[04:45] Yuki
Mikuriya-kun drops from
nineteen to sixteen points!
SIGN Mikuriya
[04:48] Yuki
But he gets one point
for his correct answer.
[04:54] Akira
Way to go, Koshiyama! You took the lead!
[04:58] Shiki
Not using my own ability.
[05:03] Shiki
We've all been taking this seriously!
[05:05] Shiki
Why do you keep doing these
mean-spirited things to interfere?!
[05:09] Akira
What are you saying?
[05:10] Akira
If I hadn't taken points
from him, you would've lost.
[05:13] Akira
Now, you have a chance! Isn't that good?
[05:19] Mukai
He thinks this is a joke!
[05:20] Maruyama
Throw him out of here!
[05:22] Ashiya
Cut it out. Subtracting
points is part of the rules.
[05:26] Ashiya
A true winner can win,
no matter what the rules are.
[05:31] Mikuriya
Koshiyama!
[05:34] Mikuriya
If you let this chance slip by,
I'll sneer at your failure.
[05:39] Ashiya
There's his competitive spirit.
[05:42] Shiki
Nothing gets Mikuriya-kun down, does it?
[05:46] Shiki
I guess that's why he's so strong.
[05:56] Yuki
Sonohara-kun, where are—
[05:58] Akira
I'm done with this. I'm bored.
[06:01] Akira
I withdraw.
[06:03] Niina
What?!
[06:07] Niina
Hey! Sonohara!
[06:10] Akira
It's just no fun.
[06:13] Chiaki
Akira!
[06:14] Yuki
You can't, President!
[06:16] Yuki
I know you're worried about your brother,
[06:18] Yuki
but you should leave this to
Sekigawata's club president.
[06:26] Chiaki
Yes, you're right.
[06:28] Chiaki
I have to assume the responsibility of
hosting the regular meet until it ends.
[06:33] Chiaki
With Sonohara-kun's withdrawal, the meet
will resume with the remaining five players.
SIGN Squee
SIGN Uh...
[06:50] Akira
What do you want?
[06:51] Niina
It's upsetting to hear you say you're bored
[06:54] Niina
when you weren't even playing for real.
[06:56] Niina
Why can't you take the
competition seriously?
[07:01] Akira
In any game, everyone's entitled
to their own playing style, right?
[07:04] Niina
And quitting before the match
is over is your "style"?
[07:08] Akira
No, it's not.
[07:10] Akira
You know, I'll gladly use infinite combos,
bug exploits, or secret commands anytime,
[07:14] Akira
but I'll never use hack
codes or no-disc patches.
[07:18] Niina
What are you talking about?
[07:20] Akira
In that last question, though...
[07:22] Niina
The day of the week? What about it?
[07:26] Akira
I made the one-in-seven chance
a two-in-seven chance.
[07:30] Akira
The kanji for "Sunday" and "Monday"
look really similar, don't they?
[07:35] Akira
I wrote it sloppily enough that it could
be read as either Sunday or Monday.
[07:40] Akira
If the guys most likely to get
it right said Sunday or Monday,
[07:43] Akira
I could jump on board with them.
[07:47] Akira
In other games, you'd call it
a forbidden move, right?
[07:48] Akira
So I'm done. I fouled out.
[07:53] Niina
Sunday and Monday, huh?
The kanji do look similar.
[07:56] Niina
You really are cunning.
[07:59] Akira
I get that a l—
[08:05] Niina
Never do that again.
[08:07] Akira
I-I won't! Are you nuts?
[08:10] Akira
It's just quiz bowl...
Just a stupid game!
[08:12] Akira
You guys get way too worked up over it!
[08:14] Niina
Oh, is that right?
[08:15] Niina
It looked to me like you were desperate
to stir everyone up in there!
[08:19] Niina
You don't have any friends, do you?!
[08:21] Akira
Sh-Shut up!
[08:22] Niina
In any case, maybe you can indirectly mess
with people who take this seriously,
[08:27] Niina
but you don't have the guts to
face them head-on, do you?!
[08:29] Akira
You're wrong! There's no one who'll
face me head-on, that's all!
[08:36] Akira
Hey! Let go!
[08:39] Akira
What's your problem?! Let go of me!
[08:41] Niina
Just get in here.
[08:43] Niina
It's about to get even more interesting.
[08:44] Niina
If you miss it, you'll regret it!
[08:46] Akira
Huh?!
[08:48] Kogawa
First, a wall slam, and now
they're holding hands?
[08:50] Kenmochi
Oh, my God! Is this a new development?!
[08:53] Kogawa
The president of Sekigawata's club...
[08:55] Kenmochi
...and President Sonohara's
little brother are...
[09:02] Shiki
If Mikuriya-kun buzzes in
and answers correctly,
[09:05] Shiki
we'll both reach 20 points.
[09:07] Shiki
I have to avoid getting into a sudden
death fastest finger round with him.
[09:13] Chiaki
Three questions remain.
[09:15] Mikuriya
Koshiyama only needs one more point.
[09:18] Mikuriya
All he has to do is answer
correctly, and he wins...
[09:20] Kujou
Question.
[09:21] Kujou
Occurring in times of technological
innovation roughly—
[09:24] Shibata
Yes!
[09:25] Shiki
Innovation? Moore's law?
[09:28] Shiki
I don't know! I didn't hear
enough of the question!
SIGN Kondratiev Waves
[09:31] Chiaki
The correct answer is Kondratiev waves.
SIGN Q: Occurring in times of technological innovation roughly once
every fifty years, the business cycle named for a Russian economist
is known as "what" waves? A: Kondratiev waves
[09:33] Chiaki
Shibata-kun, Shibuya-kun, and
Mikuriya-kun answered correctly.
SIGN Kondratiev Waves
[09:37] Chiaki
With points added to each of their scores,
the battle is growing quite chaotic.
SIGN Kondratiev Waves
[09:41] Shiki
I need to get better at straight questions
with early determining points.
[09:46] Chiaki
Now, Shibata-kun, how will you
distribute your three points?
[09:50] Shibata
Uh...
[09:51] Shibata
I'll subtract one point from
Koshiyama-kun of Buzou.
[09:54] Shiki
Huh?!
[09:56] Shibata
Well, you seem like you could answer
correctly without buzzing in.
[10:00] Shibata
Don't be upset.
[10:01] Shiki
Oh... I'm not...
[10:03] Shiki
Thank you.
[10:05] Mikuriya
Don't thank him for taking
a point away from you.
[10:08] Shiki
Huh? Oh, y-you're right...
[10:11] Mikuriya
I kinda get it, though.
[10:12] Kujou
Question.
[10:13] Kujou
Used in dishes such as curry, its rich
aroma earned the title "the spice—
[10:18] Chiaki
Once again, Shibata-kun has buzzed in!
[10:21] Niina
Where does everyone stand now?
[10:23] Akira
Shibata has 17, Mikuriya
has 18, Koshiyama has 18.
[10:27] Niina
Oh, it's a close race.
SIGN Turmeric
SIGN Garam Masala
[10:29] Chiaki
Too bad! Shibata-kun is incorrect!
SIGN Q: Used in dishes such as curry, its rich aroma earned
the title "the spice queen" for which spice? A: Cardamom
[10:31] Shibata
Ah, dammit!
[10:34] Chiaki
That's a painful three-point
loss for Shibata-kun!
[10:39] Niina
Looks like it has come down to
Mikuriya-kun and Koshiyama-kun, after all.
[10:42] Yuki
We've finally come to the
last question, Onee-sama!
[10:45] Chiaki
So we have, Yuki-san.
[10:48] Yuki
Will we put an end to what has
become a free-for-all battle,
[10:51] Yuki
or will we go to sudden death?
I can't wait to see what happens!
[10:54] Chiaki
And now for the final question
that will decide their fate!
[10:57] Shiki
To finish this, I need to buzz in
first and win the three points.
[11:02] Shiki
If I answer wrong, I lose.
[11:04] Mikuriya
We're dead level.
[11:05] Mikuriya
It's now a head-to-head!
[11:07] Kujou
Question.
[11:08] Kujou
Now a destination for Christian pilgrimages,
[11:11] Kujou
Jesus Christ's crucif—
[11:18] Both
He got it!
[11:19] Mikuriya
He's rushing! She didn't get
to the determining point yet!
[11:22] Shiki
I buzzed too soon!
[11:24] Shiki
But I had a feeling Mikuriya-kun
would beat me to it.
[11:27] Shiki
I'll just have to work it out now!
SIGN That's incorrect!
SIGN Incorrect
SIGN It's over...
[11:35] Chiaki
Buzou's Koshiyama-kun buzzed in!
[11:39] Shiki
Christian pilgrimage sites...
[11:41] Shiki
Christ and the crucifix...
[11:42] Shiki
What answer can I come up
with out of those things?
[11:44] Niina
It's the last question,
and your sister's smart.
[11:49] Niina
There must be more to
this than meets the eye.
[11:52] Shiki
If it's a Christian pilgrimage site, then
it must be one of their holy places.
[11:56] Shiki
How do I narrow it down
from the various possibilities?
[11:59] Shiki
This was one of the classics
SIGN The Hill of Golgotha
[12:00] Shiki
that Sasajima-senpai gave us
to prepare for the meet, but...
[12:03] (Flashback) Mikuriya
That's the perfect difficulty
level for this round.
[12:06] Shiki
It has to be a difficulty level that
warrants its place in the third round.
[12:10] Shiki
Maybe it's the place where Christ prayed
the night before he was crucified?
SIGN The Hill of Golgotha The Garden of Gethsemane
[12:15] Shiki
Wait. Do I even know how to
distinguish quiz bowl difficulty levels?
[12:20] Shiki
There have been several questions
that were pretty obscure,
[12:23] Shiki
but common in quiz bowl terms.
[12:25] Shiki
As for other pilgrimage sites, could it
be the Church of the Holy Sepulchre?
[12:29] Shiki
What others were there?
[12:31] Shiki
How should I answer the question?
[12:33] Shiki
What did Asagaoka have in mind?
[12:34] Chiaki
Ten seconds.
[12:36] Mikuriya
Koshiyama looks like he's really struggling.
[12:39] Mikuriya
I've already settled on my answer.
[12:41] Shiki
The last... That's it!
[12:44] Shiki
Maybe it's not about difficulty, but about
being an appropriate final question for Round 3?
[12:49] Shiki
The genre is Asagaoka's
specialty: Christianity.
[12:53] Shiki
A Christian pilgrimage site,
and Jesus Christ's crucifixion...
[12:55] Shiki
His crucifixion? His crucifix?
His cruci... what?
[13:00] Shiki
Crucifixion... crucifix...
[13:03] Shiki
Appropriate for the last question...
[13:06] Shiki
The last... That's it! The "last"!
SIGN World Travel Guide
[13:12] Shiki
The last street Christ walked down...
[13:14] Shiki
The path walked as he carried the
crucifix to the hill of Golgotha...
[13:17] Shiki
The "Way of Suffering," the Via Dolorosa!
[13:20] Shiki
That's it! The perfect answer to the
last question of the quarterfinal!
[13:31] Chiaki
Now, all players, show your boards!
SIGN The Church of the Holy Sepulchre
[13:34] Chiaki
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
SIGN Pilate
[13:36] Chiaki
Pilate.
SIGN The Garden of Gethsemane
[13:37] Chiaki
The Garden of Gethsemane.
SIGN Via Dolorosa
[13:39] Chiaki
Via Dolorosa.
SIGN Amen
[13:41] Chiaki
Amen.
[13:42] Chiaki
Everyone has given a different answer!
[13:46] Shiki
This answer...
[13:47] Mikuriya
...will decide the winner!
[13:49] Chiaki
Now, let's hear the complete question.
[13:52] Chiaki
Now a destination for Christian pilgrimages,
[13:54] Chiaki
Jesus Christ's crucifixion was carried
out the day after he prayed in a garden,
SIGN Via Dolorosa
[13:59] Chiaki
where he said, "All who draw the sword
will die by the sword." Where was this?
[14:06] Mari
That's...
[14:07] Chiaki
Round 3, "All Who Draw the Sword Will
Die by the Sword," will now begin.
SIGN Round 3
SIGN "All Who Draw the Sword Will
Die by the Sword" Multiple Answers
Quiz and Fastest Finger Board Quiz
SIGN The Garden of Gethsemane
[14:14] Chiaki
The correct answer is the
Garden of Gethsemane.
[14:17] Chiaki
Since Mikuriya-kun was the
only one to answer correctly,
[14:19] Chiaki
he earns two points!
[14:22] Chiaki
The last to advance from
the quarterfinal round
[14:24] Chiaki
is Miyaura High School
first-year, Mikuriya-kun!
SIGN The Garden of Gethsemane
[14:27] Chiaki
Congratulations on advancing
to the semifinal!
[14:30] Shiki
The last question was one that
would only work in this round,
[14:34] Shiki
based on the title of the round itself.
SIGN Mikuriya
[14:37] Shiki
This is the difference between
Mikuriya-kun's skill and mine.
SIGN Koizumi
SIGN Koshiyama
[14:41] Shiki
It's a huge difference.
[14:43] Yuki
That concludes Round 3.
[14:46] Yuki
A round of applause
for all the competitors!
[14:52] Shiki
Mikuriya-kun... I was
still no match for you.
[14:56] Shiki
I should've known.
[14:58] Shiki
S-Sorry. I thought I was...
[15:09] Mikuriya
Koshiyama!
[15:12] Mikuriya
What's the Via Dolorosa?
[15:16] Shiki
It's the last road that Christ walked down.
[15:20] Mikuriya
It was? I'll remember that.
[15:24] Shiki
You didn't know?
[15:30] Mikuriya
Revenge!
[15:32] Mikuriya
I'll take you on as many times as it takes!
[15:36] Mikuriya
Of course, I'm always going to win.
[15:41] Niina
The joys of youth...
[15:43] Niina
Right, Sonohara?
[15:45] Akira
Is this what you wanted me to see?
[15:48] Akira
If we're done here, I'm leaving.
[15:57] Niina
Wait!
[15:58] Chiaki
Akira!
[16:00] Chiaki
You're getting punished when we get home!
[16:04] Akira
Like I care!
[16:06] Niina
Sonohara!
[16:09] Niina
We'll still be meeting
after school every day.
[16:13] Niina
If you feel like it,
[16:15] Niina
come try quiz bowl again.
[16:23] Niina
Play quiz bowl with us!
[16:42] Niina
I'm sorry, everyone!
[16:48] Niina
I'm sure some of you were upset by
our youngest member's behavior.
[16:52] Niina
As our club's president, I will assume
the responsibility of guiding him.
[16:57] Chiaki
I'm responsible, as well.
[16:59] Chiaki
My brother has caused a
great deal of trouble.
[17:03] Chiaki
I'm truly sorry.
[17:04] Maruyama
Mikuriya, don't you have anything to say?
[17:07] Maruyama
You have the right to complain.
[17:08] Mikuriya
His insolent attitude annoys me,
[17:10] Mikuriya
but I have to acknowledge his
creativity and sheer guts.
[17:14] Mikuriya
I'll beat him next time.
[17:16] Inoue
Koshiyama, he messed with
you more than anyone else.
[17:20] Shiki
Huh? No, I...
[17:25] Shiki
Seeing what you two are doing
sort of made me feel relieved.
[17:29] Shiki
I have an upperclassman who apologized
for me when I messed up, too.
[17:33] Shiki
I have friends who want
to do quiz bowl with me.
[17:37] Shiki
And I have people supporting me.
[17:40] Shiki
That hits me really hard,
and it makes me happy.
[17:46] Shiki
So I'm sure he'll understand it, too.
SIGN We can't
clean up

there!!
SIGN Yeah!

We will now begin to clear the room.
[17:59] Yuki
Thank you all for participating in

It was a good meet.

Our club will have a review
meeting after this.

Better luck next time.

You did the best you could.
[18:17] Inoue
Today was intense, huh, Koshiyama?
[18:19] Shiki
Oh... Yeah.

Your thoughts on today?

This was my first meet in a long time,
[18:41] (Flashback) Gakuto
and it was incredibly fun!
[18:43] (Flashback) Gakuto
I believe every school here discovered some
new challenges and goals in this meet.
[18:50] (Flashback) Gakuto
I look forward to seeing how everyone
here performs in the future.
[18:54] (Flashback) Chiaki
Now that you've won this meet,
[18:56] (Flashback) Chiaki
you'll become a target for
many other players again.
[18:59] (Flashback) Gakuto
A target? Not at all.
[19:02] (Flashback) Gakuto
Once a meet ends, we're all equals.
[19:04] (Flashback) Gakuto
And the next meet will
be upon us in no time.
[19:07] (Flashback) Ashiya
Looks like it's going to be a hot summer.
[19:10] (Flashback) Tozuka
It's the last year for us third-years.
[19:13] (Flashback) Hanabusa
I want to live without regrets.

Next time, just like today, we'll all
start from the same starting line.

I look forward to competing
with you all again.

I wanted to keep going...

Ya just gotta try your hardest next time!

Players from all over the country
will be at the next meet.

[19:41] Shiki
From all over the country?
[19:43] Shiki
Even more veteran players we
haven't met will be there!

This really feels like being
in a club, doesn't it?!
[19:49] Shiki
I've never felt this before!
[19:51] Inoue
Y-Yeah!
[19:53] Shiki
Fukami-san, thanks for inviting
me to the quiz circle.

Let's all take on more challenges together.

Thanks for today!

I'll be looking forward to next time!

Then, I'll—

Will beating me satisfy you?

There's always someone better.

If you drag your feet,
you'll never catch up.
[21:53] Mikuriya
I won't wait for you.
[22:01] Mikuriya
I only acknowledge people
who are aiming higher!
[22:05] Shiki
I've found an incredible rival.
[22:15] Shiki
You really are ruthless.
[22:19] Shiki
And what lies ahead of where my
incredible rival is trying to go...
[22:22] Shiki
I want to see what's there, too!
[22:36] Shiki
I will aim higher.
[22:42] Shiki
It's a contest to see which
of us can make it higher!
