[00:01] Teacher
    We know that Akutagawa Ryuunosuke,
[00:03] Teacher
    who looked up to Natsume
    Soseki as his mentor,
[00:06] Teacher
    is considered the greatest short story
    author in modern Japanese literature...

[00:08] Shiki
    Just who was that girl, anyway?
[00:17] Shiki
    I took the book she left behind because it
    looked like it was hers, not a library book,
SIGN    Quiz Bowl Buzzer Lamp Circuits
[00:22] Shiki
    but these marked pages
    have piqued my curiosity.
[00:25] Shiki
    Is she involved in quiz bowl, too?
[00:28] Teacher
    Koshiyama.
[00:30] Teacher
    Koshiyama!
[00:31] Shiki
    Uh, yes, sir!
[00:32] Teacher
    Are you listening?
[00:33] Shiki
    U-Uh, yes, sir.
[00:35] Teacher
    Then, briefly explain the signature qualities
    of Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's works.
[00:39] Shiki
    R-Right...
[00:42] Shiki
    "Briefly explain"? How vague
    an instruction can you get?
[00:46] Shiki
    Is he talking about how most of
    Akutagawa's works are based on classics?
[00:51] Shiki
    No, they had deep roots in Western
    literature of the time, too...
[00:56] Teacher
    What's the problem, Koshiyama?
[00:58] Shiki
    I'm just not good at organizing my
    thoughts and putting them into words.
[01:03] Shiki
    If you'd asked a more specific question,
    I could have answered it easily...
[01:07] Teacher
    See? This is what happens when
    you don't listen in class!
[01:11] Shiki
    No, I do know!
[01:13] Shiki
    Yeah, for example...
[01:15] Shiki
    If you phrased it more
    like a quiz bowl question...
[01:18] Inoue
    That idiot.
[01:21] Teacher
    Do you think this is a joke?!
[01:22] Shiki
    I-I'm sorry!

[02:58] Jinko
    Gone...
[02:59] Jinko
    My prized book...
[03:01] Jinko
    Did that kid who shared his
    lunch with me pick it up?
[03:05] Jinko
    Wonder if he's still at school...
[03:07] Girl
    Marina, where are we going again?
[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,

[06:47] 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
[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"?

    It's not a phrase people use often, but...

    Correct.

    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.

    Question.

[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

    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...

    I can't work it out in time!

    720!

    Correct.

    That was great!

    Yes. For the time being, this is fine.

    One day, you'll take part
    in a real competition.
[12:20] Gakuto
    When that time comes...

    Let's keep it up!

    Yeah!

    Question.

    Wind blowing from the land toward the sea
    is said to be favorable for ships—

    They won't take this one!
[12:37] Maruyama

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?!

    I thought so...
[12:44] Mukai
    Don't get all trigger-happy!
SIGN    Miyaura

    Did you forget that
    wrong answers lose points?!

    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.

    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

    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

, 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
    La Nouvelle Vague!
[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
    that doesn't even have buzzers!
[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
    Yeah!
[16:06] Mukai
    Time to catch up!
[16:07] Both
    Yeah!
[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
    That's all there is in this
    world we build together.
[16:37] Shiki
    Just one more point.
[16:39] Gakuto
    Question.
[16:44] Gakuto
    Meaning "there is no longer friend or f—
[16:49] Mukai
    No side!
[16:51] Ashiya
    Correct.
SIGN    Buzou
SIGN    Miyaura
[16:56] All
    All right!
SIGN    Q: Meaning "there is no longer friend or foe," what is called to
     signal the end of a rugby match? A: No side
[17:01] Gakuto
    Miyaura High School wins, 10-9.
[17:08] Mari
    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.
[17:56] Mikuriya
    Move!
[17:57] Mikuriya
    You call yourselves members
    of the Miyaura quiz team?!
[17:59] Mikuriya
    And who even cares if you guys win or lose?!
[18:03] Maruyama
    M-Mikuriya's snapped!
[18:05] Kiyosumi
    And I don't even get why!
[18:07] Mikuriya
    Let me play, too!
[18:10] Mikuriya
    Hey, Buzou! You're up against me next!
[18:12] Mikuriya
    I'll take all three of you on by myself!
[18:14] Ashiya
    Sorry.
[18:15] Mikuriya
    Of course, I won't even let
    any of you push the—
[18:21] Jinko
    Oh, s'pretty simplistic inside.
[18:24] Jinko
    Ain't it?
[18:27] Ashiya
    What have you done?!
[18:29] All
    The cute girl from before!
[18:31] Jinko
    Oh, and this one's got a lot packed into it!
[18:40] Gakuto
    Honestly... You can't just take
    apart other people's things!
[18:44] Jinko
    I only opened 'em up a little.
[18:46] Jinko
    See? Nothin' wrong with 'em, is there?
[18:48] Jinko
    Besides, you're the one who said
    you'd show me a real set, Gakuto!
[18:53] Shiki
    She called him by his first name?!
[18:55] Inoue
    U-Um... What's your relationship
    to Sasajima-senpai?
[18:59] Jinko
    Huh? You don't know?
[19:01] Jinko
    Gakuto's my...
[19:03] All
    Your...
[19:05] Jinko
    ...big brother!
[19:08] Jinko
    Oh? No reaction?
[19:10] Mukai
    But you're obviously a Kansai girl!
[19:11] Maruyama
    You look nothing alike!
[19:12] Kiyosumi
    You're a totally different genre!
[19:14] Gakuto
    Assuming the family register is true,
    she is my honest-to-goodness
[19:19] Gakuto
    little sister, y'all. I think.
[19:22] Jinko
    Whaddaya mean "Ya think"?!
[19:24] Jinko
    Well, anyhow, about those buzzers...
[19:26] Jinko
    Now I've seen the real deal,
[19:30] Jinko
    I bet I can make a set.
[19:32] Mari
    Make a set?
[19:33] Shiki
    Of buzzers?
[19:34] Mikuriya
    Th-That's impossible!

SIGN    Sequential Control

    Practical Applications
[19:57] Jinko
    Thank goodness! I only just bought it!
[20:01] Shiki
    I saw instructions on how to make
    a buzzer system in that book.
[20:05] Shiki
    It looks really difficult, don't you think?
[20:08] Mari
    C-Can you really do it, Sasajima-san?
[20:12] Jinko
    Call me Jinko.
[20:14] Jinko
    Well, rather than makin' it
     with a sequencer,
[20:17] Jinko
    it's better to use one-chip microcomputers,
     like they use in the control boxes.
[20:20] Jinko
    S'easier to do, and cheaper, too.
[20:23] Jinko
    Is it okay if it's just one-way? If so...
[20:26] Gakuto
    Yeah, go with that.
[20:29] Jinko
    Why do y'all look so bewildered?
[20:35] Jinko
    Just so ya know, you can trust Sasajima Jinko,
     the human low-current electronic device,
[20:39] Jinko
    with all your homemade buzzer needs!
[20:41] Mari
    "L-Low-current"?
[20:44] Inoue
    Y-You're the type of girl
    that's into electrical craft?!
[20:46] Inoue
    One of the gap moe "low-current girls"
    you very rarely see in Akiba?!
[20:50] Mikuriya
    A-A "low-current" otaku...
[20:53] Shiki
    I guess fanaticism comes in many forms...
[22:30] Guy
    One thing you can't have quiz bowl without
[22:32] Guy
    is a set of buzzers.
[22:34] Guy
    It's something all high
    school quiz teams want.
[22:37] Jinko
    I'll make one for y'all! Leave it to me!
[22:40] Inoue
    There it is! The low-current girl!
SIGN    Low-Current Girl
[22:43] Jinko
    Since I'm doin' this, it'd be cool if ya could
    tell at a glance who each buzzer is for.
[22:47] Inoue
    Maybe by drawing things they like on them?
[22:50] Jinko
    Good idea! And Gakuto
    likes quiz bowl, right?
[22:53] Jinko
    And Marippe likes quiz bowl,
    and Shiki-kun likes quiz bowl, too.
[22:57] Inoue
    Sounds like they'll all end
    up looking the same...
