    It started with the meet at the
    welcome ceremony for new students,
[02:12] Shiki
    and then there was the Four Schools
    Quiz Meet at Sekigawata High School.
[02:16] Shiki
    I'm sure I'll find yet another
    new world at my next meet.
[02:19] Shiki
    I can't help feeling that way!

    I want to do quiz bowl
    with you, Koshiyama-kun.

    Can I ride on the back?
[03:02] Shiki
    Huh?
[03:03] Shiki
    Isn't this a bit too big of a step forward?

[04:13] Abe
    And what about that quiz
    meet thing? How'd it go?
[04:16] Suzuki
    That was a pretty bold invitation
    they gave you last week.
[04:18] Shiki
    Are they interested in quiz bowl?
[04:21] Abe
    The best clubs are the co-ed ones, for sure.
[04:24] Suzuki
    Just join the quiz circle!
[04:25] Abe
    No way. I'm not that smart.
[04:27] Abe
    You join it.
[04:28] Suzuki
    I'm not joining a club that
    makes me use my head!
[04:29] Shiki
    Yeah, I guess not.

    You're right. Quiz bowl isn't

[04:52] Shiki
    She did realize it, then?
[04:54] Mari
    Does being around me make
    you feel embarrassed, too?
[04:59] Mari
    Why else would you eat lunch in here?
[05:02] Shiki
    Actually, I've always eaten in here...
[05:06] Shiki
    In truth, I should've said
    something back to them.
[05:10] Mari
    Sorry for interrupting your lunch.
[05:15] Shiki
    I can't think of anything
    to say to her, even now.
[05:21] Shiki
    Actually, after school...
[05:24] Shiki
    I thought I'd check out
    the quiz circle, too.

    So you're here.
[05:47] Mari
    Thanks for coming!
[05:49] Inoue
    So you're gonna join, too?
[05:51] Shiki
    I could ask you the same.
[05:53] Inoue
    I'm glad you asked!
[05:55] Shiki
    Uh, I didn't...
[05:56] Inoue
    "I want to do quiz bowl
    with you, Inoue-kun."
[05:59] Inoue
    What man could turn down
    a request like that?!
[06:03] Gakuto
    So now we have four members?
[06:05] Mari
    One more until we're promoted to a club!
[06:08] Gakuto
    Well, now that our new
    members are with us...
[06:11] Gakuto
    I believe the quiz meet at
    Sekigawata gave you a taste,
[06:15] Gakuto
    but do you have any questions?
[06:17] Shiki
    Questions...
[06:19] Shiki
    What's your relationship to
    that girl from this morning?
[06:22] Mari
    I do.
[06:23] Shiki
    You're gonna ask?!
[06:24] Gakuto
    Fukami-kun.
[06:27] Mari
    How can we win in quiz bowl?
[06:32] Inoue
    That's just like Fukami-san.
[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
    you first need to learn the
    true nature of quiz bowl!
[07:27] Gakuto
    What sort of quiz bowl do you want to play?
[07:29] Gakuto
    What will you strive for?
[07:30] Gakuto
    How should you learn with all that in mind?
[07:32] Gakuto
    It's all up to you!
[07:35] Gakuto
    Of course, that goes for me, too.
[07:39] Shiki
    Me?
[07:41] Shiki
    The kind of quiz bowl I want to play...
[07:44] Shiki
    I...
[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.

SIGN    300 Classic Questions
[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.

    No.
[09:50] Shiki
    But what about the ones
    at the welcome ceremony?
[09:52] Gakuto
    I rented those.
[09:55] Gakuto
    I was really on edge when you pounded
    on your button that one time.
[09:59] Gakuto
    Aside from being rentals,
    those things are expensive!
[10:02] Mari
    How much would it cost to buy a set?

[10:15] Inoue
    Couldn't we get a used set somewhere?
[10:17] Gakuto
    I'm looking for one now.
[10:19] Gakuto
    Let's begin.
[10:20] Three
    Okay.
[10:23] Gakuto
    Question.
[10:24] Gakuto
    The three great festivals of Kyoto are
[10:26] Gakuto
    May's Hollyhock Festival, July's Gion Festival,
    and October's Festival of what?
[10:32] Mari
    Nine's first. That's me!
[10:34] Mari
    Festival of Ages.
[10:35] Gakuto
    Correct.
[10:36] Mari
    Yes!
SIGN    Basic Question Structures Straight or Parallel Numerated Format
[10:37] Gakuto
    This type of question is
    known as "numerated format."
SIGN    Q: The three elements of music are melody, rhythm, and what? [Harmony]
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,"
[10:54] Gakuto

SIGN    Basic Question Structures Straight or Parallel Numerated Format Foreign Language

    based on its original meaning.

SIGN    Q: French for "flash of lightning," a long, thin pastry topped with chocolate is known by what name? [Éclair]

    These are Fukami-kun's specialty.

[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?

    Yes! It's me!

    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.
SIGN    Parallel

SIGN    The nation with the largest land area is Russia, and the nation with the smallest land area is which? [Vatican City]

    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
    and "V" stands for what?
[12:07] Inoue
    Yes!

    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!

[15:09] Yuki
    Huh?
[15:10] Kenmochi
    Watching him look out for his junior
    was like watching two close brothers.
SIGN    Niina
SIGN    Sasaki
[15:14] Kenmochi
    It was such a soothing sight.
[15:15] Yuki
    Did that happen?
[15:17] Chiaki
    How naïve of you.
[15:19] Chiaki
    I suppose you beginners don't know it yet,
SIGN    Ashiya
SIGN    Niina
[15:22] Chiaki
    but Niina of Sekigawata has a
    partner at Miyaura named Ashiya.
[15:26] Chiaki
    they've been buddies since
    they were first-years.
[15:29] Kenmochi
    Nii x Ashi, then?
[15:30] Kogawa
    Really? Them?
[15:32] Kogawa
    I think Inoue-kun from Buzou
    is a well-kept secret, though!
[15:36] Kenmochi
    There it is! You have such
    strong taste, Kogawa-senpai!
[15:39] Kogawa
    Really?
[15:40] Kenmochi
    Better run, Inoue-kun!
[15:42] Chiaki
    You're both naïve.
[15:43] Yuki
    I want to go home...
[15:43] Chiaki
    What makes one great is the ability to make
    a tasty dish out of any ingredients.
[15:46] Both
    Well said!
SIGN    Maririn
SIGN    There's something I want to talk to you about...
[15:48] Chiaki
    Let's all work hard.
[15:49] Both
    Yeah!
[15:51] Yuki
    Maririn!
[15:54] Mari
    Yukicchi!
[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
    A "nut"? Come on...
[16:31] Yuki
    I had a great time in middle
    school because of that.
[16:34] Mari
    Yukicchi...
[16:35] Yuki
    Hey, didn't you say you
    wanted to ask me something?
[16:39] Mari
    Oh, yeah.
[16:40] Mari
    Yukicchi, you don't have any
    extra buzzer sets, do you?
[16:45] Yuki
    A calculator?!
[16:46] Yuki
    A calculator!
[16:49] Mari
    You use real buzzers at Asagaoka, right?
[16:52] Yuki
    Yeah, but we don't have enough to lend out.
[16:55] Mari
    They cost 100,000 yen, huh?
[16:57] Yuki
    Are they really that expensive?
[16:59] Mari
    Maybe I'll get a part-time job.
[17:01] Yuki
    A job? Good idea!
    That could really broaden your horizons!
[17:04] Mari
    My horizons?
[17:05] Yuki
    Well, Asagaoka is a mission
    school, you know?
[17:09] Yuki
    So we get a lot of religious knowledge
    in our day-to-day school lives.
SIGN    Q: A tool consisting of a string of beads with a cross on it, used by Catholics when praying, is known by what name?
    Q: In Catholicism, the one who gives a newly baptized follower their "Christian name" is known by what title?

    Q: Jesus Christ was crucified in Jerusalem, on a hill known by what name?
    Q: In the New Testament, the Virgin Mary was informed that she would give birth to the Christ by an angel named what?
[17:14] Yuki
    Knowledge you pick up in your daily
    life tends to stick with you.
[17:19] Mari
    Gaining knowledge by working, huh?
[17:21] Mari
    That could work!
[17:22] Yuki
    Right?
[17:31] Shiki
    This place really calms my mind.
[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.
[17:50] Shiki
    When it's a genre I like,
    I want to answer even more.
[17:53] (Flashback) Mikuriya

[17:58] Shiki
    What's a regular meet?
[18:00] Shiki
    I'll ask Sasajima-senpai next
    time the circle gets together.
[18:05] Shiki
    What? What's that?
[18:13] Jinko
    Smells... good...
[18:22] Jinko
    You're such a nice guy,
[18:24] Jinko
    sharin' half of your lunch with me!
[18:27] Shiki
    Luckily, I hadn't touched that part
    yet, so it should be clean...
[18:32] Jinko
    No worries!
[18:33] Shiki
    First a girl trips in front of me
    with her panties in plain sight,
[18:37] Shiki
    and now a girl passes out
    starving in front of me...
[18:39] Shiki
    Isn't a library supposed to
    be a more peaceful place?
[18:43] Jinko
    Really, thanks so much.
[18:45] Jinko
    I'll repay this debt to ya someday.
[18:48] Shiki
    That's okay. I always have
    about half left over anyway.
[18:51] Jinko
    Really? You're some light eater.
[18:53] Jinko
    You'll never grow big an' tall that way.
[18:56] Shiki
    Come to think of it, she
    looks familiar somehow...
[19:00] Jinko
    Anyway, why're ya eatin' your
    lunch in a weird place like this?
[19:05] Shiki
    B-Because I like books?
[19:07] Jinko
    Huh... And what's that?
[19:10] Shiki
    It's a collection of quiz bowl questions.
[19:11] Jinko
    Quiz bowl?
[19:12] Jinko
    Oh! You're the Das Gemeine kid
    from the welcome ceremony!
[19:17] Shiki
    Someone I don't know knows who I am!
[19:21] Jinko
    Yep, it's good to have
    somethin' ya like to do.
[19:24] Jinko
    I got too wrapped up in my hobby and
    spent all my lunch money on it.

[19:30] Jinko
    Gettin' all the tools and
    stuff costs quite a bit.
[19:33] Shiki
    Oh, so that's why you were starv—
[19:34] Jinko
    Gotcha!
[19:42] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun?
[19:45] Shiki
    F-Fukami-san!
[19:47] Jinko
    Whozzat?
[19:50] Inoue
    There you are. Is this all—
[19:52] Inoue
    Koshiyama?! You're—
[19:54] Shiki
    U-Uh, look, this is...
[19:57] Jinko
    Water!
[20:00] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun, you know that girl?
[20:04] Mari
    That's the girl who was with
    Sasajima-senpai, right?
[20:07] Shiki
    Oh!
[20:09] Mari
    Your lunch...
[20:10] Mari
    That girl was eating your lunch?
[20:12] Shiki
    Th-That was because she passed out
    from hunger in front of me...
[20:16] Shiki
    So I gave her half...
[20:17] Mari
    I haven't even eaten your lunch yet!
[20:19] Shiki
    Huh? What does that mean?
[20:23] Mari
    Wait, what did I mean by that?
[20:27] Inoue
    Koshiyama!
[20:28] Inoue
    Why do you get all the girls?!
[20:30] Shiki
    Wait, it's not like that!
[20:34] Inoue
    This is not fair!
[20:41] Shiki
    Huh? You're kidding!
    Lunch is over already?
[20:43] Shiki
    That girl isn't back yet...
