12 - A: Because the Question Is There! Source: Crunchyroll Translator: Editor: Timer: QC: (Please feel free to edit the speaker names if incomplete or inaccurate. Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) SIGN    Question 12: "A: Because the Question Is There!" [00:08] Mikuriya     Looks like you've figured     something out, Koshiyama. [00:11] Mikuriya     But I'm confident in my answer. [00:14] Mikuriya     The bigger question is... [00:19] Yuki     Now, all players, show your— [00:20] Chiaki     Just a moment. [00:23] Chiaki     Let's see their answers one at a time. [00:26] Chiaki     I'd like to hear how they arrived at them. [00:28] Yuki     Then, we'll start with Shibata-san. SIGN    Friday [00:32] Yuki     Why did you think it was Friday? [00:35] Shibata     Uh... It's not the 13th, but     they all sounded ominous... [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!

[16:13] 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     with you     people     there!! SIGN    Yeah! SIGN    You can     entrust     your     brother     to me!! SIGN    And also, um... If you don't mind... SIGN    He isn't worth     much, but please     take care of him! SIGN    The older     sister approves?! [17:55] Yuki     We will now begin to clear the room. [17:59] Yuki     Thank you all for participating in     the Asagaoka Regular Meet today. [18:06] Hayabusa     Good work today. [18:08] Ohkura     It was a good meet. [18:09] Tozuka     Our club will have a review     meeting after this. [18:11] Maruyama     Better luck next time. [18:13] Mukai     You did the best you could. [18:17] Inoue     Today was intense, huh, Koshiyama? [18:19] Shiki     Oh... Yeah. [18:21] Shiki     The regular meet ended with Sasajima-senpai     winning by a wide margin.

[18:36] (Flashback) Chiaki     Your thoughts on today? [18:38] (Flashback) Gakuto     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. [19:17] (Flashback) Gakuto     Next time, just like today, we'll all     start from the same starting line. [19:21] (Flashback) Gakuto     I look forward to competing     with you all again. [19:26] Shiki     I wanted to keep going... [19:29] Jinko     Ya just gotta try your hardest next time! [19:32] Mari     Players from all over the country     will be at the next meet. [19:35] Mari     They'll all be aiming for victory. [19:38] Inoue     The High School Quiz Bowl Championship, huh? [19:41] Shiki     From all over the country? [19:43] Shiki     Even more veteran players we     haven't met will be there! [19:46] Shiki     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.

[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!
