    Man, the day's finally come.
[00:17] M
    Right. It was fast.
[00:19] T
    But we're different from before.
[00:21] T
    Let's show Central how far
    our training's taken us.
[00:26] S
    Yup! We've got a full team
    we can depend on now, too!
[00:31] E
    You can see it now.
[00:34] E
    That's Rebun Island, where we'll
     have the Team Shokugeki.

[02:11] Alice
    Good day! My name is Nakiri Alice.
SIGN    To the Final Battleground
[02:15] Alice
    I was just expelled from Totsuki Academy.
[02:19] Alice
    The gloomy bunch of people with
    me have also been expelled.
[02:23] Alice
    Ugh, they're so depressing!
[02:25] Hisako
    Erina-sama... Erina-sama... Erina-sama...
[02:27] Alice
    Well, they're still doing a lot
    better than Miss Secretary.
[02:30] Alice
    A lot of things have happened.
[02:33] Alice
    Defeated by the Elite Ten during
    the stage three examinations,
[02:37] Alice
    we were about to be forcibly
    sent back to Tokyo.
[02:39] Alice
    We are with Erina, until death do us part!
[02:40] Alice
    But I went on a full-on tantrum and
    managed to have us stay in Hokkaido.
[02:42] Alice
    Our fates are entwined!
[02:43] Alice
    So we have to see the exams
     through to the end—
[02:45] Alice
    After we heard Erina and the others
    were going to do a Team Shokugeki,
[02:50] Alice
    we've been traveling north
    alongside their train
[02:53] Alice
    and reached this island.
[02:57] Alice
    And why are you all still so depressed?!
[03:01] Alice
    You came to cheer them on, didn't you?!
[03:03] Alice
    Pull yourselves together!
[03:05] Aoki
    But Alice-cchi...
[03:07] Marui
    We promised each other to survive
    together, but we all lost.
[03:11] Hisako
    How can I show myself to Erina-sama?
[03:14] Alice
    Stop feeling so down, Miss Secretary!
[03:17] Hisako
    Don't call me that.
[03:19] Hayama
    Why do I have to be here?
[03:22] Hayama
    I betrayed you all once—
[03:23] Alice
    You want to say you have no right to be here?
[03:27] Alice
    I'm tired of hearing that!
[03:29] Alice
    We share a bond as classmates.
[03:31] Alice
    And above all, the bond we share
    as the White Coat Trio is absolute!
[03:36] Hayama
    I know. Thanks.
[03:37] Hayama
    You can let me go now.
[03:39] Ryo
    Hey, Hayama.
[03:40] Ryo
    Since you lost to Yukihira,
[03:42] Ryo
    that means you might also lose to me.
[03:47] Ryo
    Let's have a match.
[03:48] Hayama
    Sure, any time.
[03:51] Ryo
    Okay. Right now, then.
[03:52] Hayama
    Uh, that's not possible.
[03:54] Isami
    Hey, over there.
[03:56] Alice
    Let's step right into the special
    arena for the Team Shokugeki!
[04:03] Isami
    So many people.
[04:06] Isami
    There are students who cleared the final
    stage of the exams and the lecturers.
[04:10] Hisako
    Culinary heavyweights are also here,
[04:12] Hisako
    but they're all Central supporters.
[04:14] Hisako
    They want the rebels to lose.
[04:17] U
    Honored guests!
[04:20] U
    You can see the majestic
    Mount Rishiri Fuji next to Rebun Island!
[04:24] U
    Against this gorgeous backdrop,
    your host for this final battle
[04:28] U
    is me, Urara, the idol of the 92nd class!
SIGN    Te-he
[04:32] U
    Well then, let us pray for our beloved
    Azami administration's victory
[04:37] U
    and welcome the Elite Ten members
    to the arena by chanting "Central"!
[04:42] U
    Here they come!
[04:46] U
    "Central"! Let's hear it!
[04:48] Audience
    Central!
[04:49] U

    C-C-C-C-Central!
[04:59] Ryoko
    We're totally in enemy territory.
[04:59] U
    I can't hear you! Central!
[05:01] Ikumi
    Yukihira and the others are
    going to fight in front of them?
[05:02] Audience
    C-C-C-C-Central!
[05:04] U
    C-C-C-C-Central!
[05:05] I
    Bro...

    C-C-C-C-Central!
[05:07] Hisako
    Erina-sama...
[05:08] U
    Director Azami is here, too!
[05:13] Audience
    Azami-sama!
[05:14] Audience
    Director Azami!
[05:19] Alice
    I see.
[05:20] Alice
    A Team Shokugeki.
[05:22] (Flashback) Alice
    It'll determine whether we
    advance to next year or not—
[05:24] (Flashback) Alice
    You'd better not lose!
[05:26] S
    Yup, we'll show up ready.
[05:28] S
    You can count on us!
[05:30] (Flashback) Alice
    I wish we could've fought
    together on the same team.
[05:33] (Flashback) Alice
    I'm sorry all of you have
     to shoulder everything.
[05:37] S
    Huh?
[05:37] S
    Listen, I'm only thinking about fighting
    the Elite Ten so I can take the No.1 spot.
[05:45] (Flashback) Alice
    I see.
[05:45] (Flashback) Ryo
    So, Yukihira.
[05:47] (Flashback) Ryo
    Is it just you four entering
    the Team Shokugeki?
[05:51] S
    No, we have a couple other people in mind.
[05:54] S
    We're gonna rustle up more
    allies while we train.
[05:57] S
    We'd like to be the same, numbers-wise,
    as the other side if we can.
[06:01] Alice
    I wonder if they managed to find four more.
[06:03] U
    Next are the ignorant trash who
    foolishly oppose the noble Central—
[06:10] U
    The hated rebels! Come in!
[06:23] Yuki
    Isshiki-senpai!
[06:24] Aoki
    Mimasaka Subaru!
[06:25] Aoki
    Kuga Terunori!
[06:26] Aoki
    And not to mention...
[06:28] Marui
    The former third seat, Megishima Tosuke?!
[06:31] Sato
    They managed to scrounge up the best allies
[06:34] Sato
    they could find from the remaining students!
[06:36] U
    The final battle will be an even
    match between two teams of eight!
[06:40] Kuga
    What's up?
[06:42] Kuga
    I'm here to take back my seat!
[06:44] Audience
    Look!
[06:45] Audience
    Erina-sama is on the enemy team!
[06:46] Audience
    She's rebelling against Director Azami?!
[06:48] Audience
    What's going on?!
[06:50] S
    Hi, Nakamura-senpai!
[06:51] S
    Man, but it's cold.
[06:53] Azami
    Hello, Erina.
[06:55] Azami
    I trust you've been well?
[06:56] E
    Yes, Father.
[06:58] U
    First, let the teams come
    to an agreement as to
[07:01] U
    how many should face off in one round!
[07:03] E
    How about three per round?
[07:05] Azami
    Very well.
[07:06] U
    That was fast!
[07:08] U
    Let's have both teams select the three
    chefs who'll compete in the first round!

[07:14] Yuki
    Isshiki-senpai! We've been expelled!
[07:19] Ryoko
    If you lose this round,
    even you'll get expelled.
[07:22] I
    That's not a real reason not to fight.
[07:26] I
    I'm here for my beloved underclassmen.
[07:28] Yuki
    Isshiki-senpai!
[07:31] I
    Well, and I've got backup plans
    in case I'm unable to win.
[07:34] Yuki
    Huh?
[07:34] I
    Let's start a farm together!
[07:37] I
    I've already identified
    several potential locations.
[07:39] Yuki
    What?
[07:39] I
    I made arrangements to have our produce
    featured on an online organic produce site.
[07:43] I
    We'll start small-scale.
[07:44] Ryoko
    His plans are so specific... I don't
    know how to feel about them.
[07:45] I
    We'll post a lot of social
    media savvy photos.
[07:47] I
    As for uniforms...
[07:47] Ikumi
    How'd you recruit Megishima-san,
     the former third seat?
[07:51] M
    Oh, it wasn't easy.
[07:55] U
    All right!
[07:56] U
    You ex-students there!
[07:59] U
    There are special seats for you!
[08:03] Yuki
    Uh, okay.
[08:04] Yuki
    This is just a prison!
[08:06] Sato
    You've got to be kidding me!
[08:08] Aoki
    What're we supposed to
    do if we wanna go potty?!
[08:10] U
    You're only spectating
    thanks to Azami-sama's mercy.
[08:13] U
    Be grateful!
[08:15] Isami
    Are you okay?
[08:17] Alice
    Even I, a Nakiri...
[08:18] Ryo
    I feel calmer here.
[08:20] Hayama
    Why's that?
[08:21] Hisako
    This is humiliating.
[08:22] Ikumi
    Don't feel so down.
[08:24] Ikumi
    You'll worry Erina-sama.
[08:27] Hisako
    You're right.
[08:29] U
    All right!
[08:30] U
    We have our first bout's chefs!

    There's Yukihira!
[08:39] Megishima
    Isshiki, let's take it on like we're
    trying to crush the whole lot of them.
[08:43] I
    I'm cheered by your
    motivation, Megishima-san.
[08:46] U
    As for Central...
SIGN    Kaburagi Shoko
SIGN    Kaburagi Shoko VS Megishima Tosuke
[08:50] Sato
    The new fifth seat...
[08:53] Aoki
    Kaburagi Shoko.
SIGN    Shiratsu Jurio
[08:55] Ibu
    Isshiki-senpai's opponent will be
    the eighth seat, Shiratsu Jurio.
SIGN    Shiratsu Jurio VS Isshiki Satoshi
[09:01] Ikumi
    And Yukihira will go up against—
[09:03] Hisako
    The sixth seat, Kinokuni Nene!
SIGN    Kinokuni Nene
[09:07] Nene
    So you're my opponent, Yukihira Soma-kun.
[09:11] Nene
    I apologize in advance if
    I were to make you cry.
[09:13] S
    Don't be too hard on me!
SIGN    Kinokuni Nene VS Yukihira Soma
[09:15] Stu
    Yukihira Soma, I hope you get beat into pulp!
[09:17] Stu
    Nene-senpai, murder those rebels!
[09:20] Nene
    I dislike mean-spirited heckling.
[09:24] Stu
    Man, that ice-cold stare.
[09:26] Stu
    I love it!
[09:27] Kuga
    Yukihira-chin!
[09:28] Kuga
    Pigtails over there is always in a bad
    mood and has a barbed tongue. Be careful.
[09:34] Kuga
    She's probably on the rag today, too—
[09:35] Nene
    Kuga!
[09:36] Nene
    Die.
SIGN    Kinokuni Nene VS Yukihira Soma
[09:38] Ryoko
    The sixth seat...
[09:40] Ryoko
    It's a higher tank than Isshiki-senpai's
    former seventh seat.
[09:42] Yuki
    If I remember correctly, her specialty is...
[09:44] E
    Japanese cuisine in general.
[09:46] E
    Her family runs a soba restaurant in Kanda.
[09:48] E
    Their top-notch establishment has safeguarded
     the tenets of Edo soba for generations.
[09:52] E
    She learned classic dance, calligraphy,
    and the zither, among other things.
[09:59] E
    But of course, she has received exhaustive
     instruction in the tea ceremony, kaiseki,
[10:03] E
    and other aspects of Japanese cuisine.
[10:06] E
    Her soba-making skills are without question!
[10:09] E
    She is a gift to the world
    of Japanese cuisine—
[10:11] E
    A thoroughbred in every sense of the word.
[10:13] U
    All right, each match's topic
    will be chosen by raffle!
[10:19] U
    Draw one, please!
[10:21] S
    Okay. I defer to you, Kinokuni-senpai.
[10:24] Nene
    Oh, I don't mind if you do it.
[10:27] Nene
    I'd like to have a clean,
    fair fight—unlike Eizan.
[10:33] Nene
    But I'll say this much...
[10:34] Nene
    Don't think that I'm limited to soba and
    Japanese cuisine, Yukihira Soma-kun.
[10:41] Nene
    Whatever topic in whatever
    culinary genre you may draw,
[10:46] Nene
    I will still crush your dish.
[10:49] S
    Nice trash talk.
[10:51] S
    Well, I'll go ahead and draw, then.
SIGN    Soba
[11:02] U
    Great!
[11:03] U
    The third match's topic is
    Kinokuni Nene's specialty, soba!
[11:10] U
    The Elite Ten is even closer to victory now.
[11:12] U
    Eat it, rebels!
[11:15] Hisako/Ikumi
    Yukihira!
[11:17] Ikumi
    What's with your bad luck?!
[11:19] Yuki
    He's finished...
[11:21] M
    Soma-kun!
[11:23] Nene
    It's not my fault.
[11:23] Sign 1124
    Whatever topic in whatever
    culinary genre you may draw...
    My family runs a soba restaurant.
[11:25] S
    Oh, uh, sorry.
[11:28] Nene
    I don't want you to apologize.
[11:30] Isshiki
    You're a miracle worker as always, Soma-kun.
[11:34] Isshiki
    As for me, it seems it'll be the eel.
SIGN    Eel
[11:38] Megishima
    Huh.
[11:39] U
    The topic has been decided!
[11:41] U
    There's no point in waiting! Let's start!

    Chefs, please proceed to the food
    storage unit adjoining the arena!
[12:03] U
    The basic staples are available onstage,
[12:06] U
    but more specialized ingredients
    can be found there!
[12:10] Nene
    I'll leave you to it.
[12:12] S
    Thanks.
[12:15] U
    You're also allowed to
    bring your own ingredients.
[12:20] U
    Our honored judges will soon arrive, too.
[12:23] U
    Our chefs have begun cooking!
[12:26] U
    No, only Yukihira Soma has yet to return!
[12:29] M
    What?
[12:30] Yuki
    What's he doing?!
[12:31] Ryoko
    It'll be fine. He just got back.
[12:34] Alice
    I thought diners don't
    leave their customers waiting.
[12:37] Hayama
    Nice smell.
[12:39] Ryo
    She's already starting
    to make the soba dough.
[12:42] Isami
    That's a big wooden bowl.
[12:44] T
    Very authentic.
[12:45] E
    First comes the hydration step.
[12:47] E
    Water is added to sifted buckwheat flour,
[12:49] E
    then mixed in by hand to
    hydrate the whole mixture.
[12:52] Marui
    It's coming together quickly!
[12:55] Ibu
    She's efficient.
[12:55] Ryoko
    I've never seen such elegant execution.
[13:00] M
    It's almost like you're watching
    an artisan, rather than a chef.
[13:04] Azami
    This is true technique.
[13:06] Azami
    The fingers deftly nurture each clump
     of buckwheat such that it grows in size.
[13:10] Azami
    This delicate process allows optimal
    hydration of the buckwheat flour.
[13:16] Marui
    The soba granules have grown
    to the size of fava beans.
[13:19] Ibu
    She's entering the gathering stage, where the
     dough is brought together into a ball.
[13:23] Hayama
    You can tell that the dough is coming
    together and gaining elasticity.
[13:26] Ryo
    It's hard to believe she's doing
    all that with sticks for arms.
[13:29] Ryo
    What strength.
[13:30] E
    The secret is her lower body!
[13:33] E
    She's firmly grounded herself,
[13:34] E
    and is transferring the energy from her feet
    to the dough through her legs and waist.
[13:40] Rindo
    Nene's flexibility may be an innate gift.
[13:44] Rindo
    Because she's mixing the dough so thoroughly,
[13:46] Rindo
    there's no need to add
    more water than needed.
[13:48] Rindo
    It's authentic soba that has the
    minimum possible water content.
[13:52] Azami
    Served cold,
[13:53] Azami
    it'll have a smooth throat feel, with a
     good affinity for the dipping sauce.
[13:56] Azami
    Served warm,
[13:57] Azami
    it'll have an exquisite, mild flavor
    that comes from the mingling
[13:59] Azami
    of the soba's flavors and the broth.
[14:01] Azami
    It's textbook perfection!
[14:03] Azami
    Let's have some applause for the lady!
[14:09] E
    There is a saying in the soba-making world.
[14:12] E
    Three days to master the knife,
    three months to master the rolling pin,
[14:14] E
    and three years to master the mixing bowl.
[14:16] E
    It refers to the length of time required
    to master each step in the process.
[14:21] E
    You can tell just from observing her work—
[14:24] E
    The weight of the years
    spent mastering her craft!
[14:27] Yuki
    There's no way he can
    compete on the soba front!
[14:30] Ikumi
    Yukihira!
[14:31] Ikumi
    What are you going to do?!
[14:34] S
    All right! I've figured it out!
[14:35] S
    The dish I'm going to make
    is this instant yakisoba.

[14:40] Group
    What's he saying now?!
[14:43] S
    All right, guess I'll go with an
    8:2 ratio for the buckwheat flour
[14:46] S
    and wheat flour for the binding agent.
[14:48] Nene
    While the soba I'm making uses a
    9:1 ratio, he chose an 8:2 ratio.
[14:54] Nene
    Some believe that the greater the proportion
    of buckwheat flour to wheat flour,
[14:57] Nene
    the higher the quality,
[14:58] Nene
    but that is a major misconception.

SIGN    Flour (Binding Agent)
SIGN    Buckwheat
[15:01] ---
    Of course, the closer to
    100 percent buckwheat,
[15:02] ---
    the stronger its fragrance,
[15:04] ---
    and the greater the buckwheat
    flavor and sweetness.
[15:07] ---
    But the lack of a binding agent
[15:08] ---
    would come across to the uninitiated
    as a dry, crumbly texture.
[15:14] ---
    I can respect that you didn't go for
    the pure buckwheat option. But...
[15:19] ---
    Instant yakisoba? Really?
[15:21] S
    Hm? What was that, Senpai?
[15:23] Nene
    Yukihira Soma-kun, that's how
    you've been winning so far, right?
[15:28] Nene
    With impulsive creativity, rapid-fire ideas...
[15:31] Nene
    And maybe offbeat bluffs?
[15:34] Nene
    But this time, that won't work.
[15:37] Nene
    Only the accumulation of time and history
    can make the beauty of soba shine.
[15:43] Nene
    And you lack both.
[15:45] Nene
    Don't think for a second that
     you can beat me at soba.
[15:48] S
    Time and history, huh?
[15:50] S
    Thanks for the advice, Kinokuni-senpai.
[15:54] S
    But all I'm doing here is making a soba
    dish that really represents who I am.
[15:58] (Flashback) SDad
    All right, Soma.
[16:00] (Flashback) SDad
    How are you going to beat the Elite Ten?
[16:02] (Flashback) S
    How?
[16:04] (Flashback) S
    Well, just think on my feet, whatever
    the topic might be, and... yeah.
[16:09] (Flashback) SDad
    But you lost in the Autumn Elections'
    Pacific saury match, didn't you?
[16:13] (Flashback) SDad
    You lost because you couldn't overcome
    Hayama's fragrance bull's-eye attack.
[16:18] (Flashback) SDad
    The Elite Ten you're about to face
[16:20] (Flashback) SDad
    are a bunch of guys who've
    perfected their specialization.
[16:24] (Flashback) SDad
    I'm not sure improv alone is going to cut it.
[16:27] (Flashback) SDad
    But see, Soma...
[16:28] (Flashback) SDad
    You do have one long-time thing you've got
[16:31] (Flashback) SDad
    going for you that you won't
    lose to them at, don't you?
[16:33] (Flashback) S
    Huh?
[16:35] (Flashback) SDad
    The fact that you're from a diner.
[16:38] S
    Soba that represents me...
[16:39] S
    That wouldn't be some rarefied thing
    that only a select few can understand.
[16:44] S
    Taste with widespread appeal that would be
    enjoyed no matter who the customer might be!
[16:49] S
    I'll bring that kind of soba to life here.
[16:53] S
    Man, modern day noodle-making
    machines are amazing.
[16:56] S
    They make really nice noodles.
[17:01] Audience
    What the hell?! He's using a
    machine to make the noodles!
[17:03] Audience
    He gave up on handmade noodles,
    and he's using a machine!
[17:05] Audience
    This is no good.
[17:06] Audience
    It's a done deal.
[17:08] Yuki
    Yukihira...
[17:09] Ryoko
    He didn't give up, did he?
[17:11] Hisako
    No.
[17:12] Ryo
    Not yet.
[17:13] Ikumi
    Right.
[17:13] Hayama
    He's not that weak.
[17:16] E
    Yukihira-kun has not thrown the fight.
[17:19] E
    He's quietly waiting for his chance.
[17:21] M
    Right!
[17:23] E
    Though "handmade noodles" are highly
    sought after in the soba and udon world,
[17:27] E
    the noodles aren't good
    because they're handmade.
[17:30] E
    They're good because they
    were skillfully made by hand.
[17:33] E
    There are many well-regarded restaurants
    who only do the hydration step by hand
[17:38] E
    and do the rest using machines.
[17:40] E
    The phrase "machine-made is better
    than poorly-done hand-made"
[17:43] E
    is common knowledge among soba aficionados.
[17:45] Nene
    That's true.
[17:47] Nene
    He has skill.
[17:48] Nene
    You could even say he's
    kept pace right behind me.
[17:52] Nene
    But the reality of it is,
[17:53] Nene
    the difference in quality between
    our soba noodles is undeniable.
[17:58] Nene
    Your victory is impossible.
[18:00] Nene
    If you think you have another trick up
    your sleeve, I dare you to show it,
[18:03] Nene
    Yukihira Soma!
[18:05] I
    Good job.
[18:06] I
    You're calm, Soma-kun.
[18:08] S
    Um, what about your cooking, Isshiki-senpai?
[18:11] I
    Oh, don't worry about me!
[18:14] I
    Cheering on your team mates
    is part of teamwork!
[18:17] I
    Remember the joyous times we spent
    at our Polar Star Dormitory!
[18:21] S
    Got it!
[18:21] Jurio
    Isshiki!
[18:22] Jurio
    I ask that you refrain from being distracted!
[18:25] Jurio
    Cooking is an art that also encompasses
    our behavior during the cooking process.
[18:31] Jurio
    We, ourselves, are part of our work.
[18:33] Jurio
    Face me, and let us create
     one work of art together.
[18:36] Jurio
    You and I can do it!
[18:38] Audience
    Oh, here it comes!
[18:39] Audience
    His finisher!
[18:39] Audience
    It's the one he calls the Pepper Mill Rondo!
[18:43] Jurio
    Let's weave together the ultimate
    competitive performance—the sessione!
[18:49] I
    Sorry, what's your name again?
SIGN    New Elite Ten Member
    2nd Year, High School Division
    Shiratsu Jurio
[18:53] Rindo
    Isshiki!
[18:55] Rindo
    You make me sad!
[18:57] Rindo
    You should at least remember
    the names of your classmates.
[18:59] I
    Rindo-senpai, wearing your
    hair up looks good on you.
[19:03] Rindo
    Oh, really?
[19:04] Jurio
    Can you stop chatting each other up?
[19:06] Jurio
    Fine, Isshiki!
[19:08] Jurio
    I'll etch my very existence into
    your heart with this match!
[19:11] Sato
    It's not just Yukihira
    we need to worry about.
[19:14] Yuki
    Yeah, we need to support Isshiki-senpai
    and Megishima-senpai, too.
[19:18] U
    Look!
[19:19] U
    Jurio-senpai has begun to cook the eel!
[19:22] U
    The eel has been seasoned
    with salt and pepper.
[19:23] U
    To that, he's adding onions and garlic!
[19:26] U
    And white wine in a rondo!
[19:28] U
    His techniques, trained in Italy,
    are exploding onstage!
[19:31] E
    The Shiratsu family
[19:33] E
    has been tasked with providing food to
    the Italian consulate for generations.
[19:35] E
    They are known far and wide
    in both Japan and Italy.
[19:39] Hayama
    He does have good skills.
[19:41] T
    So eel is the topic, and the opponent
    is skilled in Italian cuisine—
[19:44] T
    This may be a tough match.
[19:46] T
    It may come as a surprise to the Japanese,
[19:49] T
    but eel dishes are mainstream in Europe.
[19:51] T
    The eel matelote Kurokiba served in the
[19:53] T
    Autumn Election semifinals
    is but one example.
[19:56] Isami
    In southern Italy, it's traditional to
    eat eel during Natale, or Christmas.
[20:02] Yuki
    Huh.
[20:03] T
    Shiratsu Jurio must be pretty
    confident in his eel dishes, too.
[20:08] Alice
    What cuisine does Isshiki-san specialize in?
[20:10] Alice
    Based on his uniform, he seems
    to be good at Japanese cuisine.
[20:14] Ryo
    Among eel chefs, there's a phrase
    similar to the soba world's,
[20:17] Ryo
    "Three days to master the knife, three
    months to master the rolling pin,
[20:19] Ryo
    three years to master the mixing bowl."
SIGN    Three
    years
    to master
     the skewer
[20:21] Ryo
    "Three years to master the skewer,
    eight years to master the fillet,
SIGN    Eight
    years
    to master
     the fillet
SIGN    A lifetime
     to master
     the flame
[20:24] Ryo
    a lifetime to master the flame."
[20:25] Ikumi
    Eight years?!
[20:26] Hisako
    A lifetime?!
[20:27] Marui
    It's on a different level.
[20:28] Ryo
    I'm not sure that Isshiki
    guy has that much skill.
[20:32] I
    I know!
[20:34] I
    Maybe we should start an eel farm.
[20:37] I
    If we grow them in greenhouses,
     they won't hibernate,
[20:41] I
    so they'll grow fast.
[20:42] Yuki
    Really?
[20:43] Yuki
    Wait, now's not the time for this, Isshiki!
[20:45] Ryoko
    She's not being polite to him anymore.
[20:47] Jurio
    Goofing off in the middle of a match!
[20:49] Jurio
    You're always like that!
[20:51] Jurio
    You never show your true colors
    and just wing everything!
[20:54] Jurio
    I have sincere respect for your talent,
[20:57] Jurio
    as much as Donato Gotoda-senpai,
     whom I admire!
[21:00] S
    Huh?
[21:02] Donato
    Meraviglioso!
[21:06] Jurio
    I have dreamed of the day you and I
    would flourish in Central side by side!
[21:11] Jurio
    Why won't you bend the
    knee to Director Azami?
[21:13] Jurio
    You're an idiot!
[21:14] Jurio
    A gaping idiot!
[21:16] S
    He totally doesn't care!
[21:18] Jurio
    Kinokuni!
[21:19] Jurio
    You tell him, too!
[21:21] Jurio
    Tell him he's a disgrace to his
    renowned family, the Isshiki family!
[21:24] Ibu
    A disgrace to a renowned family?
[21:25] I
    Wow, talk about insults.
[21:28] I
    But it's true. I guess it's appropriate.
[21:31] Jurio
    Isshiki, do you have no pride?!
[21:34] Jurio
    I heard you were removed
    from the seventh seat
[21:36] Jurio
    and that you've continued to stay
    at some place called Polar Star Dormitory,
[21:39] Jurio
    a hangout for riffraff.
[21:40] Jurio
    I say this for your sake!
[21:42] Jurio
    As a member of the Isshiki family, you should
    not be mingling with such lowlifes!
[21:50] I
    Uh, Shiratsu-kun, was it?
[21:53] I
    Let's have some quiet, shall we?
[22:02] Ryo
    What the hell?
[22:03] Ryo
    It was like the severed blood vessels took
    a while to realize they had been cut.
[22:08] S
    Shit!
[22:09] S
    Now I can totally tell that he
    wasn't even half serious that time.
[22:16] S
    His skills are superhuman.
    Who is he, really?
[22:20] I
    Is that all you can do? My, my.
[22:23] I
    Regardless of what you said about me,
[22:24] I
    I didn't think you'd run your
    mouth about everyone at the dorm.
[22:28] I
    Fine. I've made up my mind.
[22:29] I
    Shiratsu-kun?
[22:30] I
    Maybe I'll be serious about crushing you.
