To get to the convenience store, go out of
the gate, turn right, and walk for 200 meters.
[00:10] Shiki
That's right... I need to go buy lunch...
[00:15] Mari
Want to share my lunch with me?
[00:17] Shiki
Huh?!
[00:20] Mari
I ended up with a little too much.
[00:23] Inoue
Koshiyama!
[00:28] Mari
Do you want some, too, Inoue-kun?
[00:30] Inoue
Thank you!
[00:34] Inoue
I'm so happy I get to eat your
homemade lunch, Fukami-san!
[00:39] Mari
Actually, my mom made it. I only packed it.
[00:43] Inoue
I'm so happy!
[00:45] Shiki
Thank you for sharing.
[00:47] Shiki
I'm going to buy a drink

SIGN Question 3: "If You Want the Right to Answer /"
[02:33] Shiki
What is quiz bowl, anyway?
[02:35] Gakuto
Quiz bowl is a game known by
everyone around the world.
[02:40] Shiki
Sasajima-senpai...
[02:43] Gakuto
Reading a book of quiz
questions? That's good.
[02:47] Gakuto
Question collections like that
include a lot of classics.
[02:50] Shiki
If I'd known it would be like this,
I would've memorized them in advance.
[02:54] Shiki
If you don't know the question,
you can't buzz in, right?
[02:58] Gakuto
Disappointed to learn what it's all about?
[03:01] Shiki
Not so much disappointed... Just, well...
[03:04] Shiki
It's not what I expected quiz bowl to be.
[03:07] Gakuto
It's true that if you only look at the
classics, it seems less like quiz bowl
SIGN The fall paddy shacks have rough
thatching as my sleeves are wet with dew
Emperor Tenji
[03:11] Gakuto
and more like the Hundred Poets game, where
you grab the second verse based on the first.
SIGN as my sleeves are wet with dew
[03:15] Gakuto
But there is one marked difference.
[03:18] Gakuto
The classics aren't limited to 100.
[03:22] Gakuto
They're constantly being updated, and there
are different ways of asking them, too.
[03:25] Shiki
But...
[03:26] Gakuto
Thousands of questions could
potentially be regarded classics.
[03:30] Gakuto
No one person can memorize them all.
[03:32] Shiki
But everyone else was buzzing early.
[03:35] Shiki
I don't think I can...
[03:37] Gakuto
I don't know about that.
[03:39] Gakuto
Competitions are a matter of chance.
[03:41] Gakuto
They're fun because you never
know what can happen.
[03:44] Gakuto
There are those who can still buzz in
without knowing the classics.
[03:50] Gakuto
I expect a good showing in the next round.
[03:53] Shiki
Easy for him to say...
[03:57] Niina
The second round will see the winners of
Round 1 take part in a "fastest finger board."
[04:02] Niina
Only three competitors will advance
through to the final round!
[04:06] Niina
Here are the rules. A "fastest finger board"
[04:08] Niina
combines elements from the fastest finger
quiz bowl and the board-style quiz bowl.
[04:12] Niina
As in the "fastest finger" format, when a
contestant knows an answer, they buzz.
[04:17] Niina
At that point, the question
will stop being read.
[04:21] Niina
Then, instead of getting the contestant
who buzzed to say the answer,
[04:25] Niina
all six contestants write their
answers on a whiteboard.

not penalized for a wrong answer.
[04:41] Niina
You'll have ten seconds to consider your answers.
[04:43] Shiki
So everyone has the right to
answer, even if they don't buzz in?
[04:47] Shiki
Maybe I can do this, after all.
[04:49] Niina
There will be 15 questions.
[04:51] Niina
The three with the most points
at the end will advance to the final.
[04:55] Niina
Now, let's proceed with the buzzer test.
[05:00] Shiki
Good!

Question.
[05:32] Nakazawa
Located in South Dakota, America, the
four former presidents: Washington,
[05:35] Nakazawa
Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln are—
[05:38] Shiki
The four former presidents listed are...
[05:43] Niina
The correct answer is Mount Rushmore.
SIGN Mount Rushmore
[05:45] Niina
Sorry, you two from Sekigawata.
[05:48] Nakazawa
Question.
[05:49] Nakazawa
The first person to reach the South Pole
was Norwegian explorer, Amundsen. But which—
[05:56] Sasaki
Why did he buzz before
the determining point?
[05:58] Maruyama
Looks like Mikuriya's getting going.
[06:00] Shiki
Questions continuing from
a connector like "while" or "and"
[06:03] Shiki
have some kind of connection to the first part,
[06:05] Shiki
but the question's asking
something different, right?
SIGN Uemura Naomi
SIGN Scott
SIGN Peary
SIGN Peary
SIGN Scott
[06:12] Niina
The correct answer is Peary!
SIGN Peary
[06:15] Niina
The first person to reach the South Pole
was Norwegian explorer, Amundsen.
[06:20] Niina
But which American explorer was
the first to reach the North Pole?
[06:24] Niina
That's the question in full.
[06:26] Yuki
Oh, it was that one...
[06:28] Shiki
I thought it was asking who the second
person to reach the South Pole was...
[06:31] Shiki
How did he know it would
be about the North Pole?
[06:35] Nakazawa
Question.
[06:36] Nakazawa
The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate
was Minamoto no Yoritomo. But who—
[06:41] Shiki
Huh?
[06:42] Sasaki
Seriously, dude. Too soon.
[06:43] Mikuriya
Nice going, question reader.
[06:46] Niina
Show your boards!
SIGN Hojo Masako
SIGN Prince Morikumi
[06:49] Niina
This means...
SIGN Hojo Tokimasa
[06:50] Niina
Mikuriya-kun's correct!
SIGN Tokugawa Ieyasu
[06:52] Niina
The question was,
[06:53] Niina
"The first shogun of the
Kamakura shogunate was Minamoto no Yoritomo.
[06:57] Niina
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.
[07:36] Ashiya
In parallel questions about officials
in the Kamakura Shogunate,
SIGN The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate
was Minamoto no Yoritomo.
SIGN The first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate
was Minamoto no Yoritomo.
But who was the first regent?
[07:39] Ashiya
it's common to pair a shogun with a regent.
[07:43] Ashiya
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
[07:54] Mikuriya
is just another tactic.
[07:57] Nakazawa
Question.
[07:58] Nakazawa
Beethoven's 3rd Symphony is
titled "Eroica." Wh—
[08:02] Mari
I couldn't hear the accentuation.
[08:04] Mari
Did I miss it?
[08:05] Shiki
Beethoven's 3rd Symphony...
[08:08] Shiki
A different question connected to that...
[08:10] Mikuriya
If you think all questions connected by "and" are parallel, you're dead wrong.
[08:14] Niina
The correct answer is Napoleon!
SIGN Napoleon
[08:16] Shiki
Huh?!
[08:17] Niina
"Who does the title refer to?"
was the question in full.
[08:21] Niina
Only Mikuriya-kun guessed correctly!
[08:23] Mari
I get it... That time, the info
just prefaced the question.
[08:27] Mari
That's why he didn't emphasize
any particular word.
[08:29] Shiki
That wasn't the question
I was expecting at all.
[08:32] Shiki
I can't predict what the
questions are going to be...
[08:37] Shiki
It's no use! I can't make
sense of any of these!
[08:40] Mikuriya
Maybe I should give everyone
else a chance to get one right.
[08:42] Mikuriya
This kid next to me is getting even smaller.
[08:45] Mikuriya
His answers have all been
really close, though...
[08:52] Nakazawa
Question.
[08:53] Nakazawa
Absent in the Spring is one of
many romance novels by—
[08:58] Shiki
Absent in the Spring was
written by Agatha Christie.
[09:02] Shiki
Wait...
SIGN Agatha
[09:03] Shiki
The question's actually given
the title of the novel...
[09:07] Shiki
Of course! This must be the answer!
SIGN Agatha Christie
SIGN Agatha Christie
SIGN Agatha Christie
SIGN Agatha Christie
SIGN Mary Westmacott
[09:16] Niina
The correct answer is Agatha Christie.
[09:18] Shiki
No way! I was so sure!
[09:21] Mikuriya
He really is...
[09:25] Niina
The question was, "Absent in the
Spring is one of many romance novels
[09:30] Niina
by the so-called mother of Hercule Poirot,
SIGN Mary Westmacott
[09:33] Niina
a character created by
which English mystery writer?"
[09:35] Mikuriya
For him to come up with Mary
Westmacott so naturally...
[09:39] Gakuto
"Mary Westmacott" was the
pen name Christie used
[09:44] Gakuto
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.
[09:57] Shiki
What is this feeling?
[09:59] Shiki
I've never felt like this before.
[10:02] Chiaki
What a tantalizing expression.
[10:05] Nakazawa
He's thinking along the right lines...
[10:08] Shiki
If I can just predict the rest
of the question, I can do this!
[10:11] Shiki
I can get the right answers!
[10:13] Shiki
Guessing wrong when I know
the right answer is infuriating!
[10:17] Niina
Four questions remain!
[10:19] Niina
Be careful, but be bold!
[10:21] Nakazawa
Question.
[10:22] Nakazawa
Summer Wars and The Girl
Who Leapt Through Time are—
[10:26] Shiki
Summer War?
[10:28] Shiki
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was
written by Tsutsui Yasutaka, wasn't it?
[10:32] Niina
Show your boards!
SIGN Sadamoto Yoshiyuki
[10:33] Niina
The correct answer is Hosoda Mamoru.
[10:35] Sasaki
What?!
[10:37] Niina
"Summer Wars and The Girl Who
Leapt Through Time are two movies
SIGN Hosoda Mamoru
SIGN Hosoda Mamoru
[10:41] Niina
directed by which renowned
Japanese anime director?"
SIGN Tsutsui Yasutaka
SIGN Sadamoto Yoshiyuki
[10:46] Gakuto
Ohbayashi... Good taste.
[10:48] Nakazawa
He clearly knows a lot. It's a real shame.
[10:51] Nakazawa
If he had the ability to predict
the rest of the question...
[10:55] Nakazawa
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...
[11:23] (Flashback) Nakazawa
The first person to
reach the South Pole...
[11:25] Shiki
He did it in that question, too.
[11:27] (Flashback) Nakazawa
The first shogun of...
[11:28] Shiki
And that one!
[11:29] Shiki
They were read that way, too!
[11:32] Gakuto
That was an obvious one.
[11:34] Inoue
Huh?
[11:35] Niina
Show your boards!
[11:36] Niina
The correct answer is Chopin!
[11:36] [SONG] Text
Chopin
[11:37] Shiki
Y-Yes!
[11:39] Niina
"The 19th Century musician, Liszt, was known
as the 'magician of the piano.'
SIGN Mozart
[11:42] [SONG] Text
Chopin
[11:44] Niina
But who was known as
the 'poet of the piano'?"
[11:48] Gakuto
By intentionally adding specific
intonation and emphasis,
[11:51] Gakuto
the reader flagged up what question
would be asked in the second part.
[11:55] Inoue
Oh, the "magician" thing?
[11:57] Gakuto
Yes.
[11:58] Shiki
I was right!
[11:59] Shiki
There was a hint in the
way he read the question!
[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.
[12:13] Chiaki
Not surprising from Sekigawata,
a school famous for its quiz bowl team.
[12:17] Nakazawa
Question.
[12:18] Shiki
Pay attention to the way he reads it, too!
[12:20] Nakazawa
A lone woman in a group of men is
known as a "single bright flower."
[12:25] Nakazawa
In the Wang Anshi poem, said to be—
[12:29] Shiki
Yes! I was able to buzz in!
[12:32] Shiki
Buzzing in really does feel good!
SIGN A Single Bright Flower in the Green
[12:37] Shiki
I predicted that the question would ask for
the relevant verse in the Wang Anshi poem.
[12:41] Shiki
That would be "a single bright
flower in the greenery."
SIGN A Single Bright Flower in the Greenery
[12:44] Shiki
The poem is about
a lone pomegranate blossom,
[12:46] Shiki
blooming in an expanse of green leaves.
[12:49] Shiki
That flower is the "single bright flower."
SIGN A Single Bright Flower in the Greenery
[12:51] Shiki
This has to be right.
[12:53] Shiki
But... why does something
feel off about this?
[12:56] Shiki
Think hard!
SIGN Agatha Christie Mary Westmacott
[12:57] Shiki
All the answers I've tried
to guess have been wrong.
SIGN Prince Morikumi Hojo Tokimasa
[13:00] Shiki
Why?
SIGN A Single Bright Flower in the Greenery
[13:02] Shiki
They're easy questions,
but I'm making them harder...

Easy?

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"!

Yeah! Those two seem really
good, but I'll give it my best shot!

I start to see a world I never knew before.
[15:42] Gakuto
Koshiyama, you'll need to
start with the basics.

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.

[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 rule that warm-blooded animals of the
same taxonomical clade living in cold areas—
[17:35] Yuki
Uh... Allen's rule!
[17:37] Niina
Sorry!
[17:38] [SONG] Text
Q: The rule that warm-blooded animals
of the same taxonomical clade living in cold areas are larger than those living
in warm areas is known by what name?
SIGN A. Bergmann's rule
[17:39] Niina
The answer is Bergmann's rule.
[17:41] Mari
The latter rounds really are tough.
[17:45] Nakazawa
Question.
[17:46] Nakazawa
Made famous as the theme of Wagner's
The Ring of the Nibelung,
[17:51] Nakazawa
what word from Norse mythology
signifies the—
[17:54] Mikuriya
Sieg—
[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
[18:27] Shiki
The world's end...
SIGN Twilight of the Gods
[18:28] Shiki
Twilight of the Gods...
SIGN The day of the end...
[18:30] Shiki
The day of the end...
[18:32] Shiki
Ragnarok!
[18:42] Niina
Uh... That question won't be counted.
[18:47] Gakuto
I'm so sorry!
[18:50] Gakuto
We'll be more careful.
[18:54] Gakuto
Koshiyama, we're leaving.
[18:57] Niina
Oh, there's no need to go that far...
[18:59] Gakuto
No, that's the rule.
[19:06] [SONG] Text
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,
[19:43] Gakuto
store up more knowledge...
[19:46] Gakuto
and learn the ways of quiz bowl.
[19:50] Gakuto
Quiz bowl is more than just
showing off your knowledge.
[19:53] Gakuto
It includes many rules and strategies.
[19:57] Gakuto
Enjoying the game and competing to
win is what quiz bowl means to us.
[20:02] Gakuto
That's competitive quiz bowl.
[20:07] Niina
The King of the Newcomers is
Mikuriya-kun of Miyaura High School!
[20:12] Gakuto
Sounds like it's all over.
[20:14] Shiki
I wish I could've watched it to the end...
SIGN Yukicchi
SIGN It was such a happy surprise to see you today! I guess quiz bowl has kept us connected! We're in different high schools, but let's continue to hang out like we did in middle school! And good luck with your quiz bowl team! I'll do my best, too! Give my regards to the bookworm (lol) of Buzou High!
[20:28] Inoue
Well, I switch trains here.
[20:30] Gakuto
See you.
[20:31] Mari
Thanks for coming today!
[20:33] Shiki
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.
[20:41] Shiki
When I was able to predict the rest
of a question or buzz in first,
[20:46] Shiki
I really did feel happy. But more so...
[20:48] Mari
Koshiyama-kun!
[20:54] Shiki
Mikuriya-kun?
[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.
[21:08] Mari
Did you decide about joining our circle?
[21:11] Mari
After today, I realized that
I'm no good at this stuff at all.
[21:15] Mari
But I'll work hard. If I'm
going to play, I want to win.
[21:19] Mari
I want to make our circle really strong!
[21:22] Mari
And I think I need your help to do that.
[21:28] Mari
I want to do quiz bowl
with you, Koshiyama-kun.
[21:35] Mari
Well, I'm catching the bus now.
[21:36] Mari
See you at school. Bye-bye!
[21:38] Shiki
Bye... bye...
[21:41] Mikuriya
Co-ed schools must be nice.
[21:43] Shiki
M-Mikuriya-kun?!
[21:50] Mikuriya
The regular meet in June is up next.
[21:53] Shiki
Huh?
[21:54] Mikuriya
Revenge!
[21:56] Mikuriya
I'm telling you...
[21:58] Mikuriya
to do quiz bowl!
[22:02] Mikuriya
Do it!
[22:10] Shiki
Seriously, why do all these people...
[22:13] Shiki
All these things I never had before,
[22:15] Shiki
things I never knew...
[22:19] Shiki
things like fun, happiness, frustration...
[22:23] Shiki
and being able to share
those things with others.
[22:30] Guy
The season of high school quiz
bowl has come round again!
[22:34] Guy
High schoolers of Japan, start by pairing
up to enter the All Japan Championship!
SIGN All Japan Championship
[22:39] Shiki
Pairing up?
[22:40] Guy
Any two students from the same school can
form a pair, even if they're in different grades.
[22:44] Guy
Of course, it can be a mixed pair, too.
[22:46] Mari
Koshiyama-kun, let's enter together!
[22:49] Shiki
H-Huh?! No, I'm not ready for
a real championship yet!
[22:53] Shiki
I'm not ready to be in a
mixed pairing, either!
[22:56] Shiki
There must be another step to take first...
[22:57] Mikuriya
I don't care how you do it.
Just do quiz bowl.
SIGN Do quiz bowl!!
