[00:09] Haru
    The water is alive.
[00:12] Haru
    That thought always went
    through my mind in the past.
[00:17] Haru
    The water really is alive.
[00:19] Haru
    No matter how much your
    body grows and changes,
[00:22] Haru
    it envelops you just the same,
[00:25] Haru
    as if it were a living thing.
[00:28] Haru
    But...
[00:32] Haru
    For how long?
[00:35] Haru
    There was one other thing I
    used to think about a lot...
[00:45] Haru
    If I'm a prodigy at ten
[00:47] Haru
    and a genius at fifteen,
[00:49] Haru
    after I hit twenty, I'll be...
[00:56] Haru
    Makoto...
[00:57] Makoto
    Morning, Haru-chan.
[01:06] Makoto
    Hey—
[01:11] Makoto
    Not nice, Haru!
[01:14] Haru
    You're here to swim, aren't you?
[01:15] Makoto
    Yeah, but still...
[01:28] Makoto
    I swear, sometimes it seems like you
    can't survive out of water, Haru-chan.
[01:34] Haru
    I keep telling you not to call me "Haru-chan."
[01:37] Makoto
    Come to think of it, you always used to say
[01:40] Makoto
    you couldn't wait to be an ordinary person.
[01:42] Makoto
    Do you still feel that way?
[01:45] Haru
    I...
[01:47] Makoto
    Oh, yikes!
[01:48] Makoto
    See ya, Haru! Good luck!
[01:51] Haru
    Thanks.
[02:02] Haru
    An ordinary person...
[02:07] Ikuya
    I'm never going to be an ordinary person.
[02:10] Hiyori
    What are you talking about?
[02:12] Ikuya
    It's a saying.
[02:14] Hiyori
    Don't even worry about that, Ikuya.
    You're not gonna turn ordinary.
[02:18] Hiyori
    You're Ikuya, you know.
[02:21] Ikuya
    Is that a compliment?
[02:22] Hiyori
    Of course!
[02:24] Hiyori
    What? Did I make you mad?
[02:25] Ikuya
    No.

    H-Hey, aren't you...
[04:55] Asahi
    Nanase Haruka?!
[04:57] Asahi
    D-Do you remember me? We used to...
[05:03] Haru
    Asahi?
[05:04] Haru
    Shiina Asahi?
[05:07] Asahi
    That's right! I'm Asahi!
[05:09] Asahi
    It really is you, Haru!
[05:10] Asahi
    I haven't seen you since our
    first year in middle school!
[05:13] Asahi
    Talk about a coincidence!
[05:15] Asahi
    Hey, c'mon. You could
    look a little happier...
[05:18] Asahi
    But I guess that reaction is typical Haru.
[05:20] Asahi
    You haven't changed a bit!
[05:22] Haru
    Neither have you.
[05:23] Asahi
    I've definitely changed!
[05:25] Asahi
    I'm a mature man now, I'd say.
[05:27] Asahi
    Oh, by the way, do you
    remember Shigino Kisumi?
[05:31] Asahi
    He's at this university, too!
[05:33] Haru
    I did know that.
[05:35] Asahi
    Man, for real?
[05:37] Asahi
    Wait, did you go to high school with him?
[05:39] Haru
    No, different high schools.
[05:42] Haru
    His younger brother came to the Iwatobi SC,
[05:44] Haru
    so I saw him again there.
[05:46] Asahi
    SC?
[05:52] Haru
    Are you still swimming?
[05:54] Asahi
    Huh?
[05:55] Asahi
    Yeah, of course I am.
[05:57] Asahi
    I'm on my way to my first practice here.
[05:59] Asahi
    What about you?
[06:01] Asahi
    You quit the swim club
    after I moved away, right?
[06:04] Asahi
    And you never replied to my letters...
[06:07] Haru
    Sorry.
[06:08] Haru
    But I started swimming again in high school.
[06:12] Haru
    I'm heading to practice now, too.
[06:14] Asahi
    Wow, really?
[06:15] Asahi
    That means we'll be on the same team again!
[06:18] Haru
    Yeah.
[06:21] Coach
    I'm Coach Tsukamoto.
[06:24] Coach
    The new first-years will be
    practicing with us as of today.
[06:28] Coach
    And let me warn you right now
[06:30] Coach
    that you're not going to have time to
    celebrate that you're college boys now.
[06:33] Coach
    You won't have a spare moment to
    waste on part-time jobs or parties.
[06:36] Coach
    Stay focused at all times.
[06:39] Coach
    We will now have the first-years
    introduce themselves
[06:43] Coach
    and swim their best stroke, one by one.
[06:46] Coach
    Are you ready?
[06:47] All
    Yes, sir!
[06:51] Wilson
    Rin, you're still here.
[06:53] Wilson
    Good timing, actually.
[06:56] Rin
    What is it, Coach?
[06:57] Wilson
    I want to introduce you to someone.
[07:00] Wilson
    Rin, this is my friend, Mihail.
[07:03] Mihail
    Hi, Rin-kun. Wil has told me about you.
[07:06] Rin
    Rin-kun?
[07:07] Wilson
    He used to live in Japan.
[07:10] Mihail
    Those are some nice muscles...
[07:13] Mihail
    Glad to know ya, Matsuoka Rin-kun.
[07:17] Rin
    Nice to meet you, too.
[07:19] Coach
    Next!
[07:20] Haru
    Nanase Haruka.
[07:22] Haru
    I specialize in free.
[07:25] Asahi
    Hey, Haru, are you still saying
    that "I only swim free" thing?
[07:30] Haru
    No, I do other strokes during practice.
[07:34] Haru
    But...
[07:37] Haru
    When I'm swimming for real, it's always free.
[07:48] Asahi
    Man, Haru's amazing!
[07:50] Coach
    I see.
[07:56] Mihail
    Cho-very good, Rin-kun!
[07:58] Wilson
    Cho-very...?
[08:01] Mihail
    It's Japanese slang for "amazing."
[08:04] Asahi
    He went into the turn while accelerating!
[08:06] Mikoshiba
    Nice kick!
[08:31] Suzuki
    That was incredible, Nanase!
[08:33] Inada
    I saw you swim the freestyle
    at the nationals last year.
[08:37] Asahi
    What? You went to the nationals, Haru?
[08:40] Asahi
    Our team just missed out on qualifying.
[08:43] Haru
    Really?
[08:45] Kiryuu
    I'm Kiryuu Isana.
[08:47] Kiryuu
    I swam at the nationals
    in the 200m freestyle.
[08:50] Unida
    I'm Unita Hikaru. I'm from Hokkaido.
[08:53] Suzuki
    Everyone calls him the King
    Salmon of the Okhotsk.
[08:57] Unida
    "Salmon," even though
    Unita has "urchin" in it!
[09:00] Haru
    That's pretty impressive.
[09:01] Hikaru
    Hey, you're supposed to laugh at that!
[09:03] Mikoshiba
    Yo, guys. High school and college
    are two different worlds.
[09:07] Mokoshiba
    Don't get careless.
[09:09] Both
    R-Right!
[09:10] Mikoshiba
    First up is next week's newcomer tournament.
[09:13] Mikoshiba
    First-years from all the strongest
    college teams in Kanto will be there,
[09:17] Mikoshiba
    so don't let your guard down!
[09:19] Coach
    Hey, Mikoshiba!
[09:20] Mikoshiba
    Yes, sir! I'm coming!
[09:22] Inada
    Mikoshiba-senpai's swim
    style is all about power.
[09:25] Inada
    I've seen him in tournament races.
[09:28] Asahi
    Haru, you already know
    Mikoshiba-senpai, right?
[09:31] Haru
    Yeah. We went to different high
    schools, but he helped me out.
[09:34] Asahi
    Hey, by the way, what's Makoto been up to?
[09:37] Asahi
    Is he doing okay?
[09:39] Haru
    He's in Tokyo, too.
[09:42] Saotome
    Aw, man... What if I can't follow the lesson?
[09:47] Makoto
    I could lend you my notes.
[09:48] Saotome
    Really?
[09:49] Makoto
    Sure.
[09:51] Makoto
    Whoops...
[09:53] Saotome
    Nagisa? Is that your girlfriend?
[09:57] Makoto
    No, he's a guy.
SIGN    A lot of kids joined the Iwatobi Swim Club as provisional members, but out of those...
[09:59] Makoto
    We were in the same club.
[10:01] [SONG] Text
    Three stayed in the club!
[10:01] Nagisa
    Wow, Mako-chan replies fast!
[10:05] Gou
    Was it okay to message him?
    He wasn't in class or anything?
[10:08] Rei
    Makoto-senpai isn't the type to
    reply to messages during class.
SIGN    Cool.
[10:13] [SONG] Makoto
    Hope it goes well.
[10:14] Nagisa
    Wait, that's it?!
[10:15] Rei
    Well, I guess he wouldn't know what
    to say when all you tell him is that
[10:18] ---
    we have three new members.
[10:20] Nagisa
    All right, then, let's
    give him more information!
[10:24] Gou
    Guys, come over here!
    We're taking your pictures!
[10:27] Three
    Okay!

[10:39] Nagisa
    Next, Ayumu-chan!
[10:41] Gou
    Ayumu-chan, relax, would you?
[10:44] Ayumu
    R-Right...
[10:45] Gou
    So, Ayumu-chan, what's your favorite muscle?
[10:48] Ayumu
    Uh, I'm not really into muscles...
[10:51] Gou
    You don't like muscles?!
[10:53] Ayumu
    Given the choice,
[10:55] Ayumu
    I'd prefer someone with a little fat on them.
[10:58] Gou
    You're actually into fat?!
[10:59] Rei
    Is it me, or do these
    look a bit like mugshots?
[11:03] Gou
    They do...
[11:05] Nagisa
    Let's all take one together, then!
[11:07] Nagisa
    We might as well get into our swimsuits!
[11:10] Amakata
    It's certainly gutsy of you to ask me
    to take a picture of you in swimsuits.
[11:15] Amakata
    But very well. Since you asked,
    I'll take the best photo you ever saw.
[11:19] Amakata
    There's a famous saying that goes:
[11:21] Amakata
    "It takes a man, not a god,
    to capture a miracle shot."
[11:24] Amakata
    "Miracles don't happen, they—"
[11:25] Nagisa
    Okay, Sensei, we get it! Hurry up!
[11:27] Amakata
    Right, right!
[11:28] Rei
    Pay attention, everyone!
[11:30] Rei
    According to photography theory... eh?
[11:35] Gou
    Your eyes are half-closed, Rei-kun!
[11:37] Rei
    That is not beautiful. Can we take another—
[11:41] Nagisa
    And sent!
[11:44] Gou
    It's totally you, Rei-kun.
[11:45] Rei
    What's that supposed to mean?!
[11:49] Makoto
    That's so like Rei...
SIGN    Nanase Haruka
[11:54] Makoto
    Haru?
[11:55] Asahi
    Makoto, it's me.
[11:58] Makoto
    Uh, you're not Haru, are you?
[11:59] Asahi
    Aw, man! He knew right away!
[12:02] Makoto
    Who is this? Is Haru there?
[12:05] Asahi
    He is, and Kisumi's here, too.
[12:07] Makoto
    Um...
[12:08] Kisumi
    Hey, Makoto?
[12:10] Kisumi
    Bet you were surprised, huh?
    You were expecting Haru and got Asahi.
[12:14] Asahi
    Hey!
[12:15] Asahi
    Damn it, Kisumi! Why'd you just tell him?!
[12:17] Makoto
    Huh? Asahi?
[12:19] Makoto
    Wait, that Asahi?!
[12:21] Asahi
    That's right, Makoto.
[12:23] Asahi
    Been a while, huh?
SIGN    Marron
[12:27] Makoto
    So your older sister runs this shop, Asahi?
[12:31] Akane
    It belonged to my mother-in-law.
    She ran it for ages.
[12:35] Asahi
    Yeah, so basically,
    it's my sister's shop now.
[12:38] Asahi
    Feel free to order anything you want.
[12:41] Akane
    You'll have to pay, though, of course.
[12:44] Asahi
    Man, Sis, you're so stingy.
[12:46] Akane
    You better believe it!
[12:48] Akane
    This is a business, you know.
[12:50] Akane
    Anyway, Makoto-kun, you sure have grown up.
[12:54] Asahi
    Looks like a grown-up now, doesn't he?
[12:57] Makoto
    I didn't recognize you, either.
[12:59] Makoto
    You grew up a lot.
[13:00] Asahi
    Yeah, well, you know...
[13:02] Asahi
    By the way, Makoto, Haru told me
[13:05] Asahi
    that you're majoring in sports education?
[13:07] Asahi
    You're hoping to be a
    swimming teacher, right?
[13:09] Makoto
    Yeah. I thought it'd be nice to teach
    little kids how fun swimming is.
[13:14] Kisumi
    Sounds just like you, Makoto.
[13:15] Makoto
    You moved to Kyushu after
    you left Iwatobi, right?
[13:20] Makoto
    Did you stick with swimming?
[13:22] Asahi
    Yeah, but I moved to another
    school later, Kazami High School,
[13:27] Asahi
    and they didn't have a swim club.
[13:30] Asahi
    I recruited members and started
    up a new one. It was crazy hard.
[13:34] Makoto
    Wow, you did that, too?
[13:36] Makoto
    We started a new swim club
    at our high school, too.
[13:40] Makoto
    Right, Haru?
[13:41] Haru
    Yeah, starting with fixing up the pool.
[13:44] Asahi
    Really?! Same here!
[13:46] Asahi
    That's really hard work, huh?
[13:48] Asahi
    It took forever to clear out all the moss.
[13:51] Asahi
    Hey, wanna see pictures?
[13:52] Kisumi
    Of the moss?
[13:54] Asahi
    No!
[13:56] Asahi
    Right here. These guys were
    my buddies in high school.
[14:00] Asahi
    And this was my team in Kyushu.
[14:03] Asahi
    We won at the junior tournament.
[14:06] Kisumi
    Eighth grade?
[14:07] Asahi
    Ninth, I think.
[14:09] Asahi
    And then there's...
[14:11] Kisumi
    Look how young I am!
[14:14] Kisumi
    Haru looks so young and innocent, too.
[14:17] Haru
    I'm still young and innocent.
[14:18] Asahi
    You can't say that about yourself...
[14:20] Kisumi
    And Asahi looks like a monkey.
[14:22] Asahi
    Don't call me a monkey!
[14:24] Kisumi
    Hey, look!
[14:25] Kisumi
    It's Ikuya!
[14:26] Kisumi
    I wonder what he's up to now...
[14:29] Kisumi
    Huh? What's up?
[14:31] Asahi
    Oh, just... I never got to tell Ikuya I
    was moving before I left our old school.
[14:36] Makoto
    Ikuya followed Natsuya-senpai
    to America from eighth grade up.
[14:42] Makoto
    I don't know if he's
    still swimming, though...
[14:45] Kisumi
    We'll never make friends like
    the ones we had back then.
[14:50] Kisumi
    Wasn't there some movie about that?
[14:52] Asahi
    Why are you trying to sound all cool now?
[14:54] Asahi
    And what do you mean by the
    friends we had "back then"?
[14:57] Asahi
    We're still friends now, aren't we?
[14:59] Akane
    Come on, you two.
[15:01] Akane
    Save that kind of talk for when
    you're doddering old geezers.
[15:05] Akane
    You're still young, so live
    your life while you can.
[15:08] Kisumi
    You're right.
[15:10] Asahi
    Live in the present...
[15:12] Asahi
    Which means you gotta dream big and
    aim for the global stage, right?
[15:15] Kisumi
    Oh, nice one, Asahi!
[15:18] Makoto
    To reach the global stage,
[15:19] Makoto
    first you have to win the All-Japan
    Invitational Tournament
[15:21] Makoto
    and be selected for the national team.
[15:23] Haru
    But before that, we have
    the newcomer tournament.
[15:26] Akane
    That's the Intercollegiate Newcomer
    Swimming Tournament, right?
[15:31] Akane
    My husband said he was going to cover that.
[15:34] Makoto
    Cover?
[15:35] Asahi
    Oh, her husband's a sports writer.
[15:39] Kisumi
    Really? That's awesome!
[15:41] Makoto
    So that's why there are so many
    articles and photos hung up in here.
[15:44] Asahi
    Yep. And after that last tournament...

SIGN    Iwatobi Middle
[16:15] (Flashback) Asahi
    Crap! We were so close!
[16:19] (Flashback) Makoto
    And we tried so hard...
[16:21] (Flashback) Ikuya
    It wasn't enough.
[16:22] (Flashback) Ikuya
    More... We have to practice more!
[16:26] (Flashback) Haru
    Yeah. Next time,
[16:28] (Flashback) Haru
    in next summer's tournament,
    we'll win for sure.
[16:30] (Flashback) Haru
    The four of us.
[16:32] (Flashback) Asahi
    Yeah!
[16:33] (Flashback) Asahi
    Let's start working for it
    right now with a training camp!
[16:37] (Flashback) Makoto
    Hang on, Asahi! Isn't it too soon for that?
[16:40] (Flashback) Asahi
    What are you talking about, Makoto?!
[16:42] (Flashback) Asahi
    I'm so pissed off, I wanna start
    busting my butt right this minute!
[16:56] Doctor
    It's looking much better.
[16:58] Doctor
    It should be all right to swim a little,
    as long as you don't overdo it.

[17:19] Sousuke
    Thanks, Kazu-nii.
[17:21] Kazu
    Oh, you're writing a letter?
[17:23] Kazu
    Did I interrupt?
[17:25] Sousuke
    Nah. I never get very far

[17:29] Kazu
    True. I suck at it, too.
SIGN    Dear Rin,

    Well, don't worry about the family.
[17:37] Kazu
    You can let me handle the restaurant.
[17:39] Kazu
    In the end, I'll be taking it over.
[17:42] Kazu
    It'll be my restaurant.
[17:44] Kazu
    I'll call it "Restaurant Kazuma."
[17:46] Sousuke
    You're even gonna change the name?
[17:48] Kazu
    Damn right.
[17:49] Sousuke
    What the hell, man?
[17:52] Nitori
    Nanase-san is in Tokyo today
    for a newcomer tournament?
[17:57] Nagisa
    Yeah.
[17:58] Nagisa
    He met up with some guys he swam
    medley relays with in middle school,
[18:03] Nagisa
    and now they're on the same college team.
[18:05] Nagisa
    I think their names were
    Asa-chan and Iku-chan.
[18:08] Rei
    But it sounded like he only
    met up with one of them.
[18:12] Gou
    I heard that the one
[18:14] Gou
    who's in the same college team with
    him now is named Shiina Asahi.
[18:19] Gou
    I think the one he hasn't heard from yet
[18:22] Gou
    was named Kirishima Ikuya.
[18:24] Sousuke
    Kirishima Ikuya?
[18:26] Momo
    You know him, Sousuke-senpai?
[18:28] Sousuke
    Yeah.
[18:29] Sousuke
    I saw him at last year's tournament.
[18:33] Sousuke
    His swimming was incredibly graceful.
[18:38] Rei
    The individual medley...
[18:40] Gou
    Individual, not the relay?
[18:43] Sousuke
    Yeah.
[18:44] Sousuke
    And his freestyle looked just like Haru's.
[18:47] Nagisa
    What?! Like Haru-chan's?!
[18:49] Rei
    Perhaps he was also enchanted
    by Haruka-senpai's freestyle
[18:53] Rei
    and decided he wanted to learn
    to swim that way himself.
[18:56] Nitori
    That would mean he's still
    swimming now, right?
[19:00] Nitori
    If he's at a university in Tokyo,

    maybe they'll meet up
    at the tournament today!

    Sorry... My train was delayed.

    Got it.

    It's been ages since I
    faced off against you.
[19:52] Asahi
    Hey, Haru, do you remember
    what I said in middle school?
[19:57] Asahi
    I'm gonna beat you one day for sure!
[20:00] Haru
    Did you say that?
[20:01] Asahi
    Yes, I did!
[20:03] Asahi
    At least remember the moment
    I declared war on you!
[20:06] Haru
    That makes this a battle spanning six years.
[20:09] Asahi
    Yeah.
[20:10] Asahi
    Back then, seeing your freestyle swim
    shook me up so much, I couldn't swim.
[20:14] Asahi
    It won't be that way this time.
[20:17] Makoto
    Oh, good... I made it in time.
[20:19] Kisumi
    Glad you made it.
[20:21] Kisumi
    I don't think I've seen Asahi
    swim since middle school.
[20:24] Makoto
    Same here.
[20:26] Kisumi
    Regardless of who wins and loses,
[20:28] Kisumi
    anyone who beats the designated time goes
    to the All-Japan Invitational, right?
[20:32] Makoto
    No, this is just a newcomer tournament,

    so no matter how good their time is, there's
    no guarantee they'll go to the All-Japan.
[20:40] Makoto
    Still,

    this is their first competition
    as college swimmers.

[15:44] Asahi
    That guy with the glasses
    from Shimo U was a real jerk.
[15:48] Asahi
    We didn't get to see Ikuya, either.
[15:50] Kisumi
    Well, we were the ones who
    went over and butted in.
[15:52] Voice
    The entrants in the men's 200m individual
    medley finals are now entering.
[15:56] Makoto
    Oh, it's starting.
[15:58] Makoto
    This is Ikuya's IM.
[16:00] Asahi
    Ikuya...
[16:07] Voice
    Take your marks.
[16:10] Crowd
    Go!
[16:15] Makoto
    He's fast!
[16:15] Asahi
    That's an incredible butterfly!
[16:22] Makoto
    His strokes are powerful.
[16:24] Asahi
    When did Ikuya get so...
[16:27] Hiyori
    Leave it to Ikuya.
[16:29] Hiyori
    This could be a tournament record.
[16:37] Asahi
    Haru's freestyle...
[16:39] Makoto
    The rhythm of his strokes
    does look similar...
[16:41] Makoto
    But he's not just copying him.
[16:46] Kisumi
    Didn't Ikuya
[16:48] Kisumi
    swim the breaststroke back in middle school?
[16:52] Asahi
    Yeah, that was his main.
[16:54] Haru
    In the summer of our first year, he
    said he wanted to get better at free.
[16:58] Makoto
    It's not just his freestyle.
[17:00] Makoto
    He's mastered the butterfly
    and backstroke, too.
[17:03] Higashi
    Why do you only swim freestyle?
[17:07] Asahi
    You're the guy from...
[17:08] Higashi
    Is that really all you want to do?
[17:12] Higashi
    Just give it some thought.
[17:15] Asahi
    What's his deal, anyway?
[17:17] Haru
    No idea...
[17:18] Kisumi
    Maybe he's a scout or a coach or something.
[17:21] Makoto
    You think so?
[17:23] Asahi
    Wait, I almost forgot! Ikuya!
[17:27] Makoto
    Where's the locker room?
[17:28] Asahi
    This way!
[17:32] Asahi
    He's not here...
[17:34] Makoto
    But his race just ended.
[17:36] Makoto
    Maybe he'll show up if we wait here a while?
[17:38] Kisumi
    We're acting kind of like stalkers, huh?
[17:48] Hiyori
    Ikuya.
[17:50] Ikuya
    Hiyori...
[17:51] Hiyori
    Let's take off.
[17:54] Ikuya
    What's your hurry?
[17:55] ---
    There are still other races.
[17:58] Hiyori
    Well, ours are over, so why not?
[18:00] Hiyori
    Here, I brought your stuff.
[18:03] Ikuya
    Why would you...
[18:04] Hiyori
    Why don't we go get something to eat?
[18:07] Hiyori
    I'll let the other guys know.
[18:13] Ikuya
    Has your time in the 200m
    backstroke improved again?
[18:17] Hiyori
    It's still nowhere near yours.
[18:19] Hiyori
    But you know, you were
    seriously incredible today!
[18:23] Hiyori
    You should let Natsuya-kun
    know as soon as you can.
[18:26] Ikuya
    There's no hurry.
[18:27] ---
    He's in another time zone.
[18:30] Hiyori
    Oh, yeah.
[18:31] Hiyori
    Hey, want to try this cake?
[18:33] Hiyori
    It has pistachio cream, your favorite!
[18:36] Hiyori
    Maybe I'll get that, too...
[18:39] Ikuya
    Hiyori, you're acting weird today.
[18:43] Hiyori
    I'm always weird.
[18:47] Makoto
    We didn't get to see him...
SIGN    Cold

[18:50] Kisumi
    You think he might be avoiding us?
[18:53] Makoto
    No way!
[18:54] Asahi
    Well, at least we found out that
    he's still in competitive swimming.
[18:58] Asahi
    That's enough for—
[19:00] Kisumi
    Are you okay?
[19:02] Makoto
    Sorry, I only have tissues...
[19:04] Asahi
    Thanks.
[19:05] Asahi
    Ugh, I'm all sticky...
[19:07] Haru
    I think I left my towel back at the venue.
[19:09] Makoto
    Huh?
[19:09] Haru
    I'm gonna go get it.
[19:11] Makoto
    We'll wait for you at the station!
[19:13] Haru
    Thanks.
[19:17] Hiyori
    Something wrong?
[19:18] Ikuya
    I left my smartphone at the restaurant.
[19:21] Hiyori
    Should we go back?
[19:22] Ikuya
    No, I'll go myself.
[19:25] Ikuya
    See you tomorrow.
[19:29] Hiyori
    Forgotten phone...
[19:31] Hiyori
    Forgotten memories...
[20:01] Haru
    Ikuya...
[20:03] Ikuya
    Haru...
[20:05] Haru
    I saw your individual medley.
[20:08] Ikuya
    Oh, you were there?
[20:10] Ikuya
    I didn't see you swim.
[20:13] Haru
    Why did you only do the individual medley?
[20:17] Haru
    Don't you do relays anymore?
[20:21] Ikuya
    Who cares?
[20:24] Ikuya
    I can still swim alone.
[20:28] Haru
    Back in middle school...
[20:32] Haru
    I'm sorry I quit the swim
    club without saying anything.
[20:36] Haru
    I was just...
[20:37] Ikuya
    Forget about it. It doesn't bother me.
[20:41] Ikuya
    It's in the past.
[20:43] Haru
    The past?
[20:44] Hiyori
    Hey, there you are!
[20:47] Ikuya
    Hiyori?
[20:48] ---
    You could have gone on home.
[20:50] Hiyori
    Sorry about that.
[20:51] Hiyori
    I just got curious, you know?
[20:55] Hiyori
    Nanase-kun, was it?
[20:57] Hiyori
    Ikuya's worn out from his race, so I'd
    rather you didn't keep him too long.
[21:01] Hiyori
    Come on, Ikuya, let's go.
[21:03] Ikuya
    Sure...

    Ikuya...
SIGN    Marron
[21:12] Asahi
    Seriously?
[21:13] Kisumi
    He really is angry, then...
[21:16] Asahi
    I ended up quitting the swim club without
    warning when I had to move, too.
[21:22] Asahi
    I've gotta apologize to him...
[21:24] Makoto
    We know what school he's going to now.
[21:26] Makoto
    Why don't we all go see
    him together sometime?
[21:29] Makoto
    You can apologize then.
[21:32] Asahi
    Yeah...
[21:34] Asahi
    We should do that.
[21:36] Natsuya
    Hey, Ikuya, how'd the newcomer tournament go?
[21:40] Ikuya
    Like usual.
[21:42] ---
    You were awake?
[21:43] Natsuya
    Of course. It's evening here, too.
[21:46] Natsuya
    I did sleep on the plane, though.
[21:51] Ikuya
    You're not in America?
[21:53] Natsuya
    I heard about an interesting
    coach, so I left to meet him.

    Nothing, really. Just a wake-up call.
[00:35] Hiyori
    I wanted to make sure you
    won't be late for practice.
[00:38] Ikuya
    I won't be late.

[04:01] David
    Good morning, Rin.
[04:02] Rin
    Hey, David.
[04:04] David
    How's Mikhail working out for you?
[04:06] Rin
    He's a great coach, but...
[04:08] David
    But?
[04:10] (Flashback) Mikhail
    By the way, Rin-kun, do you prefer
    char siu or naruto on your ramen?
[04:15] ---
    I can't read him.
[04:18] David
    He's known for being smart,
    but a little different.
[04:21] David
    You should be happy, though.
[04:23] David
    Mikhail's respected and rarely
    coaches someone one-on-one.
[04:24] Voice
    Take your marks.
[04:26] Rin
    Yeah, I'm surprised, too.
[04:30] David
    Well, he clearly saw something in you.
[04:32] Rin
    I'm not sure what, though.
[04:36] Rin
    Regardless, I'm grateful.
[04:41] Rin
    Chris, what's wrong?
[04:42] Chris
    Oh, Rin!
[04:44] Chris
    Some random Japanese guy came out of nowhere
[04:47] Chris
    and asked Mikhail to coach him!
[04:49] Rin
    What?
[04:50] Chris
    Mikhail said no,
[04:52] Chris
    but the guy told him he'd have to be his coach if he beat everyone else.
[04:56] David
    A Japanese guy... Do you know him?
[04:59] Rin
    No. I don't know anyone like that.
[05:03] Johann
    He's fast!
[05:08] Natsuya
    I'm not that fast. You guys are just too slow.
[05:20] Natsuya
    Who's this? Wanna be next?
[05:28] Rin
    Sounds fun.
[05:32] Rin
    I'll take you on.
[05:34] Natsuya
    Oh, you're Japanese?
[05:37] Mikhail
    Don't bother, Rin-kun.
[05:39] Rin
    Mikhail...
[05:41] Mikhail
    No matter how many people you
    beat, I'm not going to coach you.
[05:47] Natsuya
    Why not?
[05:49] Natsuya
    I'm faster than these guys, at least.
[05:51] Mikhail
    I have no interest in guys who are just fast.
[05:54] Natsuya
    What else do I need?
[05:56] Mikhail
    You want to know? It's...
[06:03] Mikhail
    Muscles.
[06:04] Natsuya
    Huh?
[06:04] Mikhail
    Your muscles aren't my type.
[06:07] Natsuya
    What does that mean?!
[06:08] Rin
    Dude, are you just like Gou?
[06:10] Mikhail
    Rin-kun's muscles are cho-very good!
[06:13] Natsuya
    "Cho-very good"?
[06:14] Mikhail
    That's Japanese for truly
    wonderful and amazing.
[06:18] Natsuya
    No one even says that anymore!
[06:21] Mikhail
    They don't?
[06:23] Mikhail
    Is that true, Rin-kun?
[06:24] Rin
    Yeah.
[06:26] Mikhail
    God damn! I can't believe it!
[06:27] Mikhail
    So is "MK5" out of style now too, Rin-kun?!
[06:38] Rin
    He's definitely skilled as a coach...
[06:48] Coach
    100m breast, sixth place: Inada Tadashi.
[06:50] Coach
    200m free, third place: Kiyruu Isana.
[06:53] Coach
    100m free, second place: Nanase Haruka.
[07:03] Mikoshiba
    Nanase-kun.
[07:03] Coach
    Looking ahead to this summer's tournament,
[07:05] Coach
    we'll hold consultations to decide
    which events you'll each enter,
[07:05] Mikoshiba
    What's wrong? You okay?
[07:07] Coach
    and you'll practice with
    a focus on those events.
[07:07] Haru
    I'm fine.
[07:09] Haru
    Nothing's wrong.
[07:10] Coach
    Your results in the tournament will...
[07:35] Hoshikawa
    Kirishima.
[07:38] Hoshikawa
    Was everything okay yesterday?
[07:40] Ikuya
    Yeah.
[07:41] Hoshikawa
    Your IM was unbelievable.
[07:43] Hoshikawa
    It's a shame that's your only event
    even though you swim so well.
[07:46] Hoshikawa
    Why don't you enter the freestyle relay?
[07:48] Ikuya
    No, relays aren't...
[07:51] Hiyori
    Hoshikawa-senpai, Ikuya doesn't swim relays.
[07:54] Hoshikawa
    Why not?
[07:55] Hiyori
    He focuses on individual events.
[07:58] Hiyori
    Right, Ikuya?
[07:59] Ikuya
    Yeah. I can't perform my best in team events.
[08:02] Hoshikawa
    What? Come on, man!
[08:04] Ikuya
    Sorry. Excuse me.
[08:10] Hoshikawa
    What a waste of talent.
[08:12] Saotome
    Hey, Tachibana, wanna go to that meet-up
    with Oudoukan University later?
[08:16] Makoto
    Thanks, but I have plans today.
[08:20] Saotome
    Again? You're no fun, Tachibana.
[08:22] Makoto
    Yeah... Sorry.
[08:24] Sousuke
    Kirishima Ikuya?
[08:27] Sousuke
    Oh, Nagisa told you?
[08:29] Makoto
    Yeah.
[08:30] Sousuke
    I think I saw him in the IM, but that's it.
[08:33] Sousuke
    I don't know anything else.
[08:36] Sousuke
    Is something going on with Kirishima Ikuya?
[08:38] Makoto
    Well, I guess Haru talked to him a little,
[08:42] Makoto
    but I mean... I don't know...
[08:45] Makoto
    It sounds like he's changed a lot.
[08:49] Makoto
    You know, since Haru and I both quit
    swimming for a while in middle school...
[08:56] Sousuke
    An old teammate, huh?
[09:04] Natsuya
    Yo.
[09:06] Natsuya
    I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?
[09:09] Natsuya
    I'm Kirishima Natsuya.
[09:11] Rin
    I'm Matsuoka Rin.
[09:13] Natsuya
    Rin? Sounds like a girl's name.
[09:20] Natsuya
    Hey, don't look so pissed off.
[09:22] Natsuya
    Wanna go grab dinner?
[09:25] Natsuya
    It's my first time in Sydney.
[09:26] Natsuya
    Show me around.
[09:39] Rin
    Don't you think you're drinking too much?
[09:41] Natsuya
    This isn't that much at all.
[09:43] Rin
    Should a competitive swimmer be doing this?
[09:46] Natsuya
    I'm not a competitive swimmer.
[09:48] ---
    I don't have a team.
[09:51] Rin
    Then what are you doing now?
[09:53] Natsuya
    Just collecting prize money.
[09:54] Rin
    What does that mean?
[09:56] Natsuya
    I wander all over the world,
[09:58] Natsuya
    entering races that offer prize
    money when I feel like it.
[10:01] Natsuya
    And... I win.
[10:03] Natsuya
    Then I use the prize money
    to set off for someplace new.
[10:09] Natsuya
    Even among swimmers, there are
    some guys who live like me.
[10:14] Natsuya
    What's wrong?
[10:16] Rin
    Uh, nothing.
[10:18] Rin
    It's too bad. You're a good swimmer.
[10:20] Natsuya
    Anyway, I heard you went to Sano?
[10:23] Rin
    Huh?
[10:24] Natsuya
    I went to Iwatobi.
[10:26] Rin
    Really?! Do you know Har—
[10:29] Rin
    Nanase Haruka, by any chance?
[10:31] Natsuya
    Nanase Haruka? I remember him.
[10:34] Natsuya
    He was a new student when
    I was in my third year.
[10:37] Rin
    At Iwatobi Middle School?
[10:38] Natsuya
    Yeah. You went to Sano Middle School?
[10:40] Rin
    Ah, no...
[10:42] Rin
    I was in Sydney as an exchange
    student to train in swimming.
[10:46] Natsuya
    Damn, in middle school?
[10:48] Natsuya
    Cocky one, aren't you?
[10:49] Rin
    Yeah... I guess I was pretty cocky.
[10:53] Natsuya
    Haruka was cocky, too.
[10:56] Natsuya
    He always said, "I only swim free."
[10:59] Natsuya
    I heard he quit swimming, though.
[11:03] Natsuya
    What's he up to these days?
[11:04] Natsuya
    Did he quit swimming for good?
[11:07] Rin
    No, he started up again in high school.
[11:10] Rin
    He's doing his best in Japan.
[11:12] Rin
    He's aiming for the global stage, like me.
[11:14] Rin
    It's my dream to swim on a
    global level with him someday.
[11:19] Natsuya
    I see...
[11:20] Natsuya
    You might end up being my
    little brother's rival, then.
[11:24] Rin
    You have a little brother?
[11:27] Rin
    Natsuya-san?
[11:31] Rin
    Come on, keep it together.

    Sorry...

    Hey, what's up?
[11:41] Rin

[12:04] Rin

[12:15] Haruka
    He said his club was meeting up.
[12:17] Asahi
    He sure is loving the college life.
[12:20] Makoto
    That's a good thing, isn't it? It suits him.
[12:22] Makoto
    Anyway, do we have a plan to go see Ikuya?
[12:27] Asahi
    Actually, about that...
[12:30] Asahi
    I'm not sure if it's right for
    all of us to just barge in.
[12:33] Asahi
    So maybe we should have Kisumi go
    over and talk to him a bit first...
[12:37] Makoto
    You're not usually this timid.
[12:39] Asahi
    Well, you know...
[12:41] ---
    I told him back then that
    I wouldn't move again...
[12:47] Makoto
    It'll be fine. Ikuya's not mad about that.
[12:50] Haruka
    You told Ikuya what was going on, right?
[12:53] Makoto
    Yeah.
[12:55] Makoto
    A little, after you quit the
    club and Asahi moved away.
[13:00] Makoto
    The team broke up,
[13:02] Makoto
    but Ikuya was optimistic about
    continuing with swimming.
[13:06] Asahi
    And he went to America with
    Natsuya-senpai after that?
[13:10] Makoto
    Yeah.
[13:13] Asahi
    Who was that guy we saw with Ikuya?
[13:16] ---
    A friend from high school?
[13:18] Makoto
    No idea...
[13:19] Asahi
    And when did Ikuya come
    back from America, anyway?
[13:22] Asahi
    Where'd he go to high school?
[13:26] Asahi
    It seems like...
[13:28] Asahi
    we don't know anything about Ikuya at all.
[13:32] Asahi
    Even though we were all his teammates...
[13:57] Hiyori
    Nice swimming, Ikuya.
[13:59] Hiyori
    Your rhythm seemed a little
    different from usual, though.
[14:02] Hiyori
    Something happen?
[14:03] Ikuya
    No, not really.
[14:05] Hiyori
    You're breathing kinda hard, though...
[14:09] Ikuya
    You worry too much, Hiyori.
[14:17] Johann
    He's here again.
[14:19] David
    It's been four days.
[14:21] Chris
    He's stubborn.
[14:23] Johann
    Rin, you've gotta stop having
    dinner with him every night.
[14:27] Rin
    It's fine. He's not a bad guy.
[14:32] Rin
    Mikhail?
[14:37] Mikhail
    Natsuya-kun.
[14:39] Mikhail
    You can keep coming back,
    but I won't change my mind.
[14:43] Natsuya

SIGN    To Natsuya-kun Ikuya's Condition
SIGN    Toono Hiyori
SIGN    Sorry for replying late. Ikuya's time hasn't improved since then. His form has been losing its balance during practice, especially in freestyle, and he doesn't have the power he had at the last tournament. So he's been training in the basics these days.
[16:26] Rin
    Is something wrong?
[16:27] Natsuya
    Message from Japan. Sounds
    like Ikuya's struggling.
[16:30] Rin
    Ikuya?
[16:31] Natsuya
    That's my brother.
[16:33] Rin
    Kirishima Ikuya...
[16:35] (Flashback) Sousuke
    Kirishima Ikuya...
[16:38] (Flashback) Rin
    Kirishima?
[16:41] Rin
    Is the message from your brother?
[16:43] Natsuya
    No, it's from a friend of his.
[16:45] Natsuya
    They met in America while
    he was studying abroad.
[16:48] Rin
    Your brother went abroad for swim training?
[16:54] Natsuya
    You and Haruka are friends, right?
[16:56] Rin
    Yeah.
[17:00] Natsuya
    In the summer of Ikuya's first year of middle
    school, he swam in a relay with Haruka.
[17:06] Natsuya
    But Haruka quit the club after that.
[17:11] Natsuya
    His other teammates moved
    or quit, one by one.
[17:14] Natsuya
    so the team broke up.
[17:16] Natsuya
    Ikuya ended up alone.
[17:19] Natsuya
    That's why, in his second year,
[17:21] Natsuya
    he came to America, where I was studying.
[17:24] Natsuya
    It's not that I'm mad at Haruka
    and his friends, though.
[17:31] Natsuya
    Ikuya devoted himself to
    practicing with me in America,
[17:36] Natsuya
    but he has a bad habit of losing sight
    of everything when he gets absorbed.
[17:41] Natsuya
    He pushed himself too hard and
    nearly drowned from lack of oxygen.
[17:46] Natsuya
    No serious damage was done,
[17:49] Natsuya
    but I guess the mental shock was pretty huge.
[17:52] Natsuya
    He had to stay in the hospital for a while.
[17:58] Natsuya
    But that experience made him stronger.
[18:02] Natsuya
    Not just in breast, but in
    free, butterfly, and back, too.
[18:05] Natsuya
    He mastered each one
[18:06] Natsuya
    and stopped swimming in relays on his team.
[18:10] Natsuya
    He's been posting better and better IM times,
[18:13] Natsuya
    but I'm worried he's going to hit
    a wall at the pace he's going.
[18:18] Natsuya
    I want him to reach the global level.
[18:23] Rin
    What about you?
[18:25] Natsuya
    Huh?
[18:26] Rin
    You don't want to reach the global level?
[18:30] Natsuya
    I don't need to.
[18:32] Natsuya
    I swim when I want, how I want.
[18:34] Rin
    Then why do you want Mikhail to coach you?
[18:36] Natsuya
    Because I want to get better, of course.
[18:39] Natsuya
    But it's not to win medals.
[18:54] Rin
    Natsuya-san, is your own dream—
[18:56] Natsuya
    Hey, wanna race me?
[18:58] Rin
    Huh?
[18:59] Natsuya
    Race me!
[19:00] ---
    How about the 200m freestyle?
[19:02] Rin
    Don't you only swim when you want?
[19:04] Natsuya
    I want to now!
[19:06] Rin
    There won't be prize money.
[19:08] Natsuya
    We'll just bet something.
[19:10] Natsuya
    How about dinner tomorrow?
[19:11] Rin
    That's not an equal bet. You drink alcohol.
[19:14] Natsuya
    Okay... How about new swimsuits?
[19:16] Rin
    I don't need one right now.
[19:18] Natsuya
    No, huh? Then...
[19:22] Rin
    You're like Sousuke.
[19:23] Natsuya
    Huh?
[19:24] Rin
    Oh, I had a friend in elementary school
[19:27] Rin
    who wanted to compete over everything.
[19:30] Natsuya
    He's not your friend now?
[19:32] Rin
    He's still a close friend and rival.
[19:35] Natsuya
    Is he still swimming?
[19:37] Rin
    No, he injured his shoulder.
[19:39] Rin
    But...
[19:41] Rin
    I want to swim with him again.
[19:46] Natsuya
    You're the adulterous type, huh?
[19:47] Natsuya
    There's Haruka, too. Just how many
    guys do you want to swim with?
[19:52] Natsuya
    Okay, how about this?
[19:54] Natsuya
    If I win, you let me stay in your apartment!

    I only have the hotel until next week.

    Oh, come on!

    I guess we'll have to
    save our race for later.

    You have a place you can stay?
[21:03] Natsuya
    I think I'll go back to Japan.
[21:05] Rin
    Huh?
[21:06] Natsuya
    It's been fun.
[21:07] Natsuya
    Thanks.
[21:08] Natsuya
    You made me remember that there's
    someone I want to swim with, too.
[21:18] Mikhail
    Looks like Natsuya-kun isn't coming back.
[21:20] Rin
    Was it really because his
    muscles weren't to your liking?
[21:23] Mikhail
    Rin-kun, there are only two kinds of muscles.
[21:26] Mikhail
    The kind I like and the kind I don't like.
[21:31] Mikhail
    His were the latter.
[21:32] Rin
    You were serious about that?
[21:34] Mikhail
    I'm serious about everything.
[21:36] Mikhail
    Still, I don't think there would've
    been any point in me coaching him.
[21:41] Mikhail
    It was written all over his face that

    Oh, right. I haven't introduced
    myself yet, have I?

    I became friends with Ikuya while
    we were studying abroad in America.

[08:42] ---
    look after him after we came back.
[08:45] Haru
    You must know who we are, then.
[08:48] Hiyori
    Ikuya might have told me a little bit...
[08:51] Hiyori
    If I recall, you were his teammates,
[08:53] Hiyori
    but you broke up the club before your
    second year of middle school, right?
[08:58] Haru
    We want to apologize to Ikuya for that.
[09:02] Hiyori
    What would you apologize
    for after all this time?
[09:04] Haru
    I promised him in our first
    year of middle school
[09:08] Haru
    that I'd race him in
    freestyle the next summer.
[09:12] Haru
    I want to apologize for
    failing to keep that promise.
[09:16] Hiyori
    I see... But I really doubt
[09:20] Hiyori
    that Ikuya even remembers
    that promise anymore.
[09:22] Hiyori
    In any case, you're being a nuisance.
[09:25] Hiyori
    Besides, Ikuya doesn't
    swim in relays anymore.
[09:29] Hiyori
    He's just focusing on the IM now.
[09:31] Asahi
    And why do you keep butting
    in and speaking for Ikuya?
[09:36] Hiyori
    Because Natsuya-kun asked
    me to look after him.
[09:39] Asahi
    Well, we know Natsuya-senpai, too!
[09:41] Asahi
    We've been Ikuya's friends
    since middle school!

    But I'm his best friend.
[09:46] Hiyori
    I don't know what happened in the past,
[09:48] Hiyori
    but do you guys really think you have
    the right to be his friends now?
[09:53] Asahi
    The right? What the hell
    are you talking about?!
[09:56] Hiyori
    Ikuya's reaching for the global stage.
[09:58] Hiyori
    He doesn't need weaklings around him.
[10:01] Hiyori
    Anyone who isn't strong has
    no right to be his friend...
[10:05] Hiyori
    Or so I think.

    Oh, but I specialize in the backstroke.
[10:18] Hiyori
    And Nanase-kun... you only
    swim free, am I right?

    So you're going to race against me.
[10:44] Hiyori
    All right, then.
[10:45] Hiyori
    We'll have a test to see
    how serious you guys are.
SIGN    Marron
[10:50] Asahi
    Are you sure you're okay with this, Makoto?
[10:53] Makoto
    Yeah. I suddenly felt the
    urge to swim for real again.
[10:57] Makoto
    And I want to do whatever I can for Ikuya.
[11:00] Akane
    What's all this?
[11:01] ---
    You're going to race against
    Ikuya-kun's friend?
[11:04] Akane
    Mind if I come to cheer you on?
[11:06] Asahi
    Seriously, Sis, don't.
[11:08] Asahi
    It's not exactly a happy occasion.
[11:10] Akane
    Really?
[11:11] Kisumi
    Makoto!
[11:13] Kisumi
    You're gonna have a race? Can I come watch?
[11:16] Asahi
    I just said it's not that kind of race!
[11:18] Kisumi
    But I'm involved in this too, you know.
[11:21] Asahi
    What about your club?
[11:23] Asahi
    I'll skip that day!
[11:25] Asahi
    Man, what's up with you?
[11:27] Asahi
    You have way too many
    clubs in the first place!
[11:30] Kisumi
    Aw, but...
[11:32] Nagisa
    Oh, hey, that's...
[11:33] Nagisa
    the guide from our deserted island
    training camp two years ago.
[11:36] Nagisa
    Those were the days!
[11:38] Shizuru
    Deserted island...
[11:39] Nagisa
    You want to go to a deserted island, too?
[11:41] Romio
    If we have a training camp, I
    want it to be in another country!
[11:44] Nagisa
    Oh! That's a great idea, too!
[11:46] Rei
    Come on, Nagisa-kun.
[11:48] Rei
    This is an important training camp.
[11:50] Rei
    We should look at it realistically and
    try to make it as effective as possible.
[11:53] Gou
    We got a reply from Samezuka Academy!
[11:56] Rei
    Gou-san!
[11:57] Nagisa
    What'd they say?
[11:59] Gou
    The negotiation was successful!
[12:01] Momo
    Yahoo! A training camp with Gou-san!
[12:05] Nitori
    No, Momo-kun, it's a training
    camp with the Iwatobi Swim Club.
[12:10] Nitori
    And Soufuukan, too. There'll
    be three schools there.
[12:12] Momo
    Oh, right! I've gotta give
    Gou-san some stag beetle sap!
[12:17] Nitori
    Hey!
[12:18] Nitori
    Are you listening, Momo-kun?
[12:20] Momo
    Yep!
[12:21] Momo
    Soufuukan has that Capybara.
[12:24] Momo
    This time, I'm gonna beat
    him in swimming, too!
[12:27] Nitori
    Just don't get into any fights like you
    did at the resort over spring break.
[12:31] Nitori
    Oh, yeah... I should let Sousuke-senpai know.
[12:37] Doctor
    If this keeps up, you should
    be able to swim again.
[12:40] Sousuke
    Really?
[12:41] Doctor
    Yes.
[12:43] ---
    Just make sure you don't overdo it.
[12:45] Doctor
    There's still a risk of
    damaging the area again.
[12:48] Sousuke
    And if that happens?
[12:50] Doctor
    You'd just go back to rehab.
[12:52] Doctor
    Injuring it again wouldn't mean the end.
[12:55] Sousuke
    So it's like I'm carrying
    a bomb on my shoulder.
[12:59] Doctor
    That's a bit of an exaggeration.
[13:01] Doctor
    But if you want to be able to
    swim at full strength again,
[13:05] Doctor
    you may be forced to make a decision.
[13:08] Sousuke
    A decision?
[13:13] Gou
    Sousuke-kun!
[13:17] Sousuke
    Gou.
[13:19] Sousuke
    Heading home from club?
[13:20] Gou
    Yep! Are you on your way home, too?
[13:24] Sousuke
    Yeah.
[13:26] Sousuke
    By the way, I got a message from Ai earlier.
[13:29] Sousuke
    So Iwatobi's coming to the
    upcoming training camp, too?
[13:32] Gou
    Yeah! Will you be there?
[13:36] Sousuke
    Yeah, as an alumnus.
[13:39] Sousuke
    The doctor said I can start swimming again.
[13:42] Gou
    Really?
[13:43] Sousuke
    Yeah... But don't tell Rin yet.
[13:48] Sousuke
    I want to tell him myself.
[13:58] Hiyori
    I brought snacks.
[14:01] Ikuya
    That much?
[14:02] Hiyori
    I thought I'd make dinner
    if you hadn't eaten yet.
[14:06] Ikuya
    I already ate.
[14:07] Ikuya
    You worry too much.
[14:09] Hiyori
    At least have some ice cream, then?
[14:12] Hiyori
    I'll put some coffee on.
[14:13] Ikuya
    I'll do it.
[14:15] Ikuya
    Have a seat.
[14:17] Hiyori
    Oh, The Little Mermaid...
[14:19] Hiyori
    You still have this?
[14:22] Hiyori
    You really like this story.
[14:25] Hiyori
    Everyone was worried about you, Ikuya.
[14:28] Hiyori
    I mean, you haven't been up
    to your full strength lately.
[14:32] Hiyori
    Of course, I keep telling them
    you'll be fine, but still...
[14:38] Hiyori
    Captain Hoshikawa has
    really had his eye on you.
[14:41] Hiyori
    He really wants to get you
    to swim in a freestyle relay.
[14:45] Ikuya
    I don't do relays anymore.
[14:47] Hiyori
    I know.
[14:49] Hiyori
    You're strongest as you are
    now, without doing relays.
[14:53] Hiyori
    I know that.
[14:54] Ikuya
    Hiyori, you saw Haru and
    the guys today, didn't you?
[14:59] Hiyori
    You knew?
[15:01] Ikuya
    I saw them around there when I left.
[15:05] Hiyori
    I told them the same thing as last time.
[15:07] Hiyori
    That this is an important time for
    you, so I didn't want them seeing you.
[15:14] Hiyori
    That was okay, right?
[15:17] Ikuya
    Yeah... I guess.
[15:36] Kiryuu
    His start was no good at all.
[15:37] Suzuki
    But his form is perfect, right?
[15:40] Unida
    That's useless if there's no speed behind it.
[15:44] Kiryuu
    What's up, Nanase?
[15:45] Haru
    Next to Suzuki...
[15:47] Haru
    That's Ikuya!
[15:48] Inada
    Oh, Kirishima Ikuya?
[15:50] Suzuki
    Look at me, not him!
[15:52] Inada
    Well, you can't compare to Kirishima.
[15:57] Inada
    He came back from America
[15:58] Inada
    and swam in his first high school
    tournament as a third-year,
[16:02] Inada
    but he set a tournament record.
[16:04] Inada
    He only competed in the IM.
[16:06] Kiryuu
    You know a lot about him, Inada.
[16:08] Inada
    Gathering data is my hobby!
[16:10] Unida
    It's unusual for someone to
    only swim the IM, isn't it?
[16:14] Asahi
    Ikuya was our classmate in middle school.
[16:18] Unida
    Are you serious?!
[16:19] Kiryuu
    You guys were friends?
[16:21] Asahi
    Yeah, but not so much now.
[16:24] Suzuki
    Oh, yeah, I get it.
[16:26] Suzuki
    When old friends stop seeing each other,
    they end up not being friends anymore.
[16:30] Suzuki
    I have some like that, too...
[16:32] Asahi
    No, I've moved around a lot
    ever since I was a kid,
[16:36] Asahi
    but my friends from back then
    are still my friends now.
[16:39] Inada
    Why isn't Kirishima still your friend, then?
[16:41] Kiryuu
    Did you have a fight?
[16:44] Suzuki
    That happens a lot, too.
[16:46] Unida
    Well, don't worry about it.
[16:48] Unida
    Practice comes before friendship right now.
[16:51] Kiryuu
    You've got a point.
[16:53] Kiryuu
    We need to think about getting
    stronger above all else.
[16:55] Mikoshiba
    There are many ways to get stronger!
[16:58] Suzuki
    Mikoshiba-senpai!
[17:00] Mikoshiba
    Past teammates and friendships can
    contribute to your strength in the present.
[17:05] Mikoshiba
    There are lots of things that are
    important besides just practicing.
[17:09] Mikoshiba
    Come on, it's just about time
    for the general meeting.
[17:12] All
    Right.
[17:19] Asahi
    Hey, sorry I'm late!
[17:22] Kisumi
    What were you guys doing?
[17:24] Asahi
    Practice ran late.
[17:29] Haru
    Makoto.
[17:31] Makoto
    Thanks, Haru.
[17:34] Kisumi
    Is there really any point to this?
[17:37] Kisumi
    Isn't it kinda childish to bet
    things in contests like this?
[17:41] Kisumi
    I don't get it.
[17:44] Makoto
    I guess that's kind of why I'm doing it.
[17:46] Makoto
    Maybe if I swim with him,
    I'll understand him better.
[17:51] Makoto
    Also, something about that
    Toono guy bothers me...
[17:56] Kisumi
    I still don't get it.
[17:57] Asahi
    We understand each other
    by swimming together.
[18:00] Asahi
    Right, Haru?
[18:01] Haru
    Yeah.
[18:02] Kisumi
    Hey!
[18:03] Kisumi
    Don't leave me out of the group!
[18:05] Misaki
    Hey...
[18:07] Misaki
    Aren't you...
[18:10] Makoto
    Misaki-kun?
[18:11] Misaki
    Hi again!
[18:12] Makoto
    Hi there.
[18:14] Kid
    Hey, Misaki!
[18:16] Misaki
    Yeah, I'm coming!
[18:22] Kisumi
    Who's that?
[18:23] Makoto
    Misaki-kun. I met him over spring break,
    when I went to see Haru's apartment.
[18:29] Makoto
    He was training really hard at swimming,
[18:31] Makoto
    because he had a rival
    he really wanted to beat.

    swimming guidance for a while.
[18:41] Haru
    I guess they still haven't found a new coach.

    You're early.
[19:16] Haru
    We thought you weren't coming.
[19:17] Hiyori
    I keep my promises...
[19:20] Hiyori
    unlike you.
[19:23] Hiyori
    Well, ready to get started, Tachibana-kun?
[19:25] Makoto
    Yeah.
[19:31] Ikuya
    The little mermaid...
[19:33] Asahi
    Take your marks!
[19:38] Ikuya
    The little mermaid visited
    the home of the sea witch,
[19:43] Ikuya
    and in return for giving up her voice,
[19:46] Ikuya
    she obtained human legs.
[19:49] Ikuya
    Every step brought excruciating pain,
    as if knives were stabbing her legs.
[19:57] Asahi
    They're neck-and-neck!
[19:58] Kisumi
    Makoto's amazing!
[20:01] Hiyori
    Damn it!
[20:03] Ikuya
    So,
[20:05] Ikuya
    what about me, then?
[20:11] Ikuya
    What did I obtain,
[20:15] Ikuya
    and what did I give up for it?
[20:19] Hiyori
    Yes!
[20:24] Hiyori
    You're pretty good.
[20:30] Hiyori
    Tachibana-kun, for a guy who hasn't swum
    in a while, you put up a good fight.
[20:34] Hiyori
    I'm really impressed.
[20:36] Makoto
    You're a great swimmer,
    too. I couldn't believe it.
[20:40] Makoto
    Thanks for doing this!
[20:42] Hiyori
    But I don't think you deserve to see Ikuya.
[20:46] Asahi
    You're still saying that?!
[20:48] Kisumi
    Asahi...
[20:49] Hiyori
    But since you took the time to race me,
[20:52] Hiyori
    I'll tell you one thing you
    don't know about Ikuya.
[20:57] Haru
    Something we don't know?
[20:58] Hiyori
    Ikuya nearly drowned from lack of
    oxygen in middle school, right?
[21:05] Hiyori
    Actually, after that,
[21:07] Hiyori
    he had another oxygen deprivation
    incident in America.
[21:13] Hiyori
    It was pretty serious.
[21:15] Hiyori
    He was in the hospital for a while.
[21:19] Makoto
    No way...
[21:20] Asahi
    For real?
[21:22] Hiyori
    Ikuya is very delicate.
[21:24] Hiyori
    Of course, in the end,
    he overcame his accident
[21:28] Hiyori
    and turned out stronger than ever before.
[21:32] Hiyori
    But you know...
[21:33] Hiyori
    I've heard and learned a lot of
    things about you, Nanase-kun.
[21:37] Hiyori
    Everyone who swims with you
    ends up suffering somehow, huh?

    Good morning, everyone.
SIGN    Samezuka Academy
SIGN    Soufuukan
[02:44] Nitori
    Thanks for making the long trip out here.
[02:47] Nitori
    The relationship we formed with
    Soufuukan over spring break
[02:51] Nitori
    has paved the way for this training
    camp shared by our three schools.
[02:56] Nitori
    I hope we can make this
    a fruitful training camp
[02:58] Nitori
    where we all learn from each other.
[03:01] Nitori
    Let's all work hard together!
[03:04] All
    Let's do it!
[03:06] Nitori
    We also have the honor of being joined
[03:09] Nitori
    by Samezuka Academy alumnus
    Yamazaki Sousuke-senpai...
[03:13] Nagisa
    Sou-chan!
[03:14] Nitori
    ...and Soufuukan alumnus
    Kirishima Natsuya-senpai.
[03:22] Natsuya
    We won't have much time together,
    but I'm glad to be here.
[03:25] Sousuke
    Kirishima...
[03:32] Nitori
    Go ahead and take your things to your rooms,
[03:34] Nitori
    then we'll meet by the pool at 1:00.
[03:39] Gou
    They're all such powerful schools...
[03:42] Gou
    with such glorious muscles!
[03:44] Ayumu
    I'm disappointed that there
    aren't any pudgy guys here.
[03:48] Momo
    Gou-san!
[03:50] Momo
    Check out my special backstroke!
[03:56] Usami
    I didn't realize you were
    also a backstroke swimmer...
[03:59] Usami
    Mikoshiba Momotarou!
[04:04] Usami
    Wha—
[04:05] Usami
    Come on! We played table tennis
    at the Anago hot spring!
[04:09] Momo
    Oh! Capybara!
[04:11] Usami
    That's right. I'm a Soufuukan
    High School second-year,
[04:14] Usami
    the Capybara of the Raging
    Rapids, Usami Aoba!
[04:17] Momo
    Uh, I'm not giving you the capybara plushie.
[04:21] Usami
    Hmph! How about a swimming
    contest this time, then?
[04:25] Momo
    Hah! You'll regret that!
[04:27] Usami
    That's big talk!
[04:29] Usami
    Fine by me.
[04:31] Momo
    Take me on as many times as
    you want. I'll always win!

    Momo-kun! We're in the middle of practice!
[04:35] Momo
    Y-You've got it all wrong!

    compete against me, Aoba.

    Natsuya-san?!
[04:43] Natsuya
    Sorry, you guys.
[04:46] Nitori
    Oh, it's all right.

    He's not as bad a guy as he looks.
[04:50] Natsuya
    I hope you guys can be friends.
[04:51] Nitori
    We hope so, too.
[04:57] Goro
    I think Nagisa's going
    to go places this summer.
[05:01] Amakata
    Yes.
[05:02] Amakata
    Ryugazaki-kun appears to have
    matured since last year, too.
[05:06] Goro
    That just leaves the newbies...
[05:12] Goro
    Shizuru's backstroke is still rough,
[05:14] Goro
    but he does have talent.
[05:16] Amakata
    I agree.
[05:17] Voice
    Next!
[05:28] Voice
    Ready!
[05:34] Goro
    He's obviously behind.
[05:41] Goro
    No real problems with his swimming, though...
[05:44] Amakata
    I guess he's nervous.

    Romi—
[05:54] Rei
    Nagisa-kun, about this afternoon's regimen...
[05:59] Rei
    Romio-kun?
[06:02] Nagisa
    Did something happen?
[06:07] Nitori
    That'll be all for this practice.
[06:10] Nitori
    You're welcome to practice on your own.
[06:12] Nitori
    Just make sure you're in the
    cafeteria by 6:00 tonight.
[06:15] All
    Right!
[06:17] Romio
    Captain Rei!
[06:18] Romio

    stay behind and practice!

    Okay, then.

    Just be careful you don't overdo it.

[07:41] Nagisa
    Is that true, Romi-chan?
[07:43] Romio
    No, I... Um...
[07:45] Sousuke
    You can't get the timing right, can you?
[07:54] Rei
    Romio-kun seemed a bit down.
[07:58] Gou
    Now that you mention it...
[08:01] Rei
    Shizuru-kun, do you have any idea why?
[08:06] Shizuru
    Well, I think...
[08:09] Both
    He false-started?
[08:11] Shizuru
    Yeah, and...
[08:13] Shizuru
    that ended up being our last
    middle school tournament...
[08:20] Shizuru
    I think he just doesn't want to make the
    same mistake again in high school.
[08:24] Shizuru
    But it may be that having
    so many people around
[08:27] Shizuru
    reminds him of that race.
[08:30] Shizuru
    It was a really important race...
[08:33] Romio
    So ever since then, I've
    been afraid of starting.
[08:38] Nagisa
    Romi-chan...
[08:40] Sousuke
    Don't just look directly ahead of you.
[08:42] Sousuke
    Envision what happens after you dive in.
[08:47] Sousuke
    What's your reason for diving in?
[08:56] Guy
    Wow, it all looks so good!
[08:58] Guy
    Their manager made curry,
    too. I think it's over there.
[09:02] Gou
    Here you go.
[09:04] Amakata
    Kunikida-san's curry is going
    over really well, huh?

    Yeah! That's what secret

[09:10] Gou
    Right, Ayumu-chan?
[09:13] Ayumu
    The extra batch of the Kunikida family's
    ultra-spicy curry is ready to go.
[09:19] Momo
    The curry Gou-san and her
    friend made is so good!
[09:22] Uozumi
    This heat level is like a challenge.
[09:24] Momo
    It burns! But it's so good!
[09:28] Usami
    Really, Mikoshiba?
[09:29] ---
    That's enough to count as spicy in your mind?
[09:31] Momo
    You already finished yours?!
[09:33] Usami
    I'm on my way to get a
    heaping plate of seconds.
[09:38] Momo
    Gou-san! Seconds, please!
[09:41] Usami
    What's your deal?!
[09:42] Momo
    I won't let you have Gou-san's curry!
[09:44] Usami
    What?! Don't be stupid!
[09:47] Nagisa
    This curry's great!
[09:50] Gou
    Ayumu-chan did the seasoning.
[09:52] Rei
    It really is good!
[09:54] Ayumu
    It's been in the Kunikida
    family for generations.
[10:02] Romio
    Huh? Seaweed?! D-Dude...
[10:05] Shizuru
    Curry is best with seaweed.
[10:06] Romio
    Okay...
[10:08] Nagisa
    That sounds good!
[10:09] Shizuru
    Would you guys like some, too?
[10:11] Gou
    Did you bring that, Shizuru-kun?
[10:13] Shizuru
    Yes. My family runs a seafood shop.
[10:17] Romio
    Shizuru's family gathers
    seafood by skin-diving.
[10:19] Romio
    That's why he's so good at swimming.
[10:22] Rei
    So that's why.
[10:24] Nagisa
    By the way, Romi-chan, did
    you eat curry in New York?
[10:28] Romio
    Yeah!
[10:29] Gou
    Is it different, like they say?
[10:30] Romio
    There was one restaurant that was known
    for having the spiciest curry in world!
[10:34] Gou
    Wow!

    Please tell me all about it!

    Hey.
[11:51] Natsuya
    Good work today.
[11:56] Natsuya
    Haven't seen you since the Anago hot spring.
[11:58] Sousuke
    Yeah.
[12:01] Sousuke
    Um, sorry if I'm wrong,
[12:03] Sousuke
    but would you happen to
    be Kirishima Ikuya's...
[12:07] Natsuya
    What? You know Ikuya?
[12:09] Sousuke
    Well, no...
[12:11] Sousuke
    I only saw him in a race
    when I was in high school.
[12:14] Natsuya
    I see. Yeah, he's my little brother.
[12:18] Sousuke
    His swimming surprised me.
[12:20] Natsuya
    Right?
[12:22] Natsuya
    I'm proud of that kid.
[12:29] Sousuke
    What are you doing these days?
[12:31] Natsuya
    I swim when I want, where I want.
[12:35] Natsuya
    I enter races while traveling
    around the world.
[12:40] Natsuya
    I was in Australia not long ago.
[12:43] Natsuya
    I met a Japanese guy there who'd been aiming
    for the global stage since he was a kid.
[12:47] Natsuya
    He was a really solid, up-front guy.
[12:49] Natsuya
    Even I picked up on his passion.
[12:54] Natsuya
    What's up?
[12:55] Sousuke
    Nothing. Just remembering
    someone I know who's like that.
[13:00] Natsuya
    He remembered a friend of his
    while we were talking once, too.
[13:04] Natsuya
    Said he wanted to swim with him again.
[13:08] Sousuke
    Swim together again...
[13:13] Natsuya
    I heard you injured your shoulder.
[13:16] Natsuya
    How's it doing now?
[13:20] Sousuke
    My doctor says if I keep up my
    rehab, I'll be able to swim again.
[13:25] Sousuke
    I won't be strong enough
    to compete again, though.
[13:29] Sousuke
    But if I have surgery...
[13:32] Natsuya
    You'd be able to compete again,
[13:34] Natsuya
    but if the treatment doesn't work out,
    your life as a competitor is over for good?
[13:46] Natsuya
    Anyone would stress over that.
[13:50] Natsuya
    Yamazaki Sousuke...
[13:52] Natsuya
    I didn't realize it right away when
    I heard you graduated from Samezuka,
[13:56] Natsuya
    but you went to Tokitsu High School, right?
[14:00] Natsuya
    You were a pretty famous butterfly swimmer.
[14:04] Sousuke
    Yeah, until I injured my shoulder.
[14:06] Natsuya
    But if your shoulder recovered,
[14:08] Natsuya
    you'd be plenty good enough to
    compete at the global level.
[14:14] Natsuya
    In the words of Mikhail,
    a coach who was once called
[14:17] Natsuya
    the greatest treasure of
    Russia's swimming world,
[14:22] Natsuya
    "Victory only comes to those
    who believe in themselves."
[14:27] Natsuya
    When I heard that,
[14:29] Natsuya
    I interpreted it as
    "the results depend on you."
[14:34] Natsuya
    Next thing I knew, I was flying out of Japan.
[14:38] Natsuya
    It's my favorite quote.
[14:43] Rei
    Okay, tomorrow is the last
    day of this training camp,
[14:47] Rei
    and we've decided to finish with a
    medley relay between all three schools.

    Shizu-chan, you'll do backstroke.
    Romi-chan, you'll do freestyle.

    The first leg...
[15:04] Romio
    A relay so soon?
[15:06] Romio
    And I'm the anchor?
[15:08] Rei
    No need to look so worried.
[15:11] Rei
    We'll be with you.
[15:13] Nagisa
    Yeah, it's just practice.

    Rei and Nagisa really put
    some thought into this.
[16:09] Amakata
    Indeed.
[16:10] Natsuya
    A relay competition was a pretty smart idea.
[16:13] Sousuke
    It was Iwatobi's suggestion,
    to help them all grow as a team.
[16:18] Natsuya
    Makes sense.
[16:23] Rei
    This reminds me of the
    first relay we swam in with
[16:26] ---
    Haruka-senpai and Makoto-senpai.
[16:28] Nagisa
    Good times!

    We jumped in without any
    preparation then, too.

    Yes, and that was the first
    relay I ever swam in.
[16:37] Rei
    It's possible that all I did
    was hold the others back...

    But the burning emotion I felt
    when I swam with all of them

    still lives on, right here.

    because I just couldn't stand still.
[05:07] Ikuya
    I believed Haru would come back one day.
[05:12] Ikuya
    Then I went to America,
[05:14] Ikuya
    but I hit a wall
[05:15] Ikuya
    and pushed myself too hard in practice.
[05:18] Ikuya
    As I sank through the water alone, I thought,
[05:22] Ikuya
    "Haru really is gone."
[05:26] Ikuya
    And not just Haru.
[05:29] Ikuya
    I realized that I was weak
    because I relied on my brother
[05:31] Ikuya
    and teammates all the time.
[05:34] Ikuya
    That only I can make myself stronger.
[05:40] Ikuya
    I felt I had to do it all on my own.
[05:43] Ikuya
    But when I saw Haru again,
[05:47] Ikuya
    the weakness I thought I had left
    behind started to come back to me.
[05:52] Ikuya
    I can't allow myself to
    be that weak right now.
[05:58] Ikuya
    Sorry. I'm heading home.
[06:03] Hiyori
    Ikuya...
[06:05] Hiyori
    Damn it!
[06:12] Hiyori
    What can I do for him?
[06:25] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Nice swimming.
[06:26] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Oh, um...
[06:28] (Flashback) ---
    Thank you—
[06:30] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Wait, you speak Japanese?!
[06:41] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Hey!
[06:45] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Toono Hiyori.
[06:49] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Kirishima Ikuya.
[06:52] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Are you here for swim training, too?
[06:54] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Nah, I moved here because
    of my parents' work.
[06:58] (Flashback) Ikuya
    I see.
[07:00] (Flashback) Hiyori
    I lived in Iwatobi up through
    grade school, though...
[07:05] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Really? Same here!
[07:06] (Flashback) Ikuya
    I lived in Iwatobi through kindergarten!
[07:11] (Flashback) Ikuya
    It's possible...
[07:14] (Flashback) Ikuya
    we've met somewhere before, huh?
[07:19] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Yeah, maybe.
[07:23] (Flashback) Natsuya
    Ikuya.
[07:24] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Oh, hey, bro.
[07:27] (Flashback) Ikuya
    He's my big brother.
[07:33] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Ikuya!
[07:42] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Ikuya! Ikuya!
[07:46] (Flashback) Hiyori
    I really liked these.
[07:50] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Sorry...
[07:52] (Flashback) Ikuya
    I don't read many books.
[07:54] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Oh, sorry...
[07:56] (Flashback) Ikuya
    You must be pretty amazing, though.
[07:58] (Flashback) Ikuya
    These look really difficult.
[08:00] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Um... Yeah.
[08:02] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Oh, there is one book I like, though.
[08:06] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Really? Which one?
[08:08] (Flashback) Ikuya
    The Little Mermaid.
[08:14] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Hey!
[08:15] (Flashback) Ikuya
    You're creeped out, aren't you?
[08:16] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Huh?
[08:17] (Flashback) Ikuya
    You think that's too girly!
[08:19] (Flashback) Hiyori
    I wasn't thinking that! Honest!
[08:23] (Flashback) Ikuya
    It's fine. You don't have to worry about it.
[08:32] (Flashback) Natsuya
    Hey, sounds like you're having fun.
[08:34] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Bro.
[08:36] (Flashback) Natsuya
    You're here again, I see. Thanks.
[08:39] (Flashback) Hiyori
    It's okay.
[08:40] (Flashback) Natsuya
    And for saving Ikuya, too—
[08:41] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Oh!
[08:42] (Flashback) Hiyori
    I should really be going.
[08:45] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Bye.
[08:47] (Flashback) Ikuya
    Thanks.
[08:48] (Flashback) Hiyori
    Sure.
[08:50] Hiyori
    What can I...
[08:51] Hiyori
    do for Ikuya?
[08:53] Girl
    Hey, Mom, read me the rest.
[08:56] Mom
    Where did we leave off?
SIGN    The Little Mermaid
[08:59] Girl
    Where the Little Mermaid saves the prince
[09:01] Girl
    and washes up on the beach!
[09:05] Mom
    "Having saved the prince, the little
    mermaid laid him upon the sand.
[09:10] Mom
    Then along came a young girl.
[09:14] Mom
    The little mermaid quickly concealed herself.
[09:19] Mom
    When the prince awoke, he believed
    the young girl had saved him,
[09:24] Mom
    so he offered her his thanks.
[09:27] Mom
    He did not even realize that the
    little mermaid had saved him.
[09:31] Mom
    Instead, the young girl..."
[09:37] Hiyori
    That's right.
[09:39] Hiyori
    The prince still has no idea...
[09:44] Makoto
    I never expected to see you here, Nao-senpai.
[09:48] Nao
    How long have you been coaching here?
[09:50] Makoto
    I started today.
[09:52] Makoto
    I met that boy there over spring break,
    when I went to see Haru's apartment.
[09:57] Makoto
    That's how it started.
[09:59] Makoto
    I wanted to teach swimming to
    kids who were trying their best.
[10:03] Nao
    Is Haruka at this school too, then?
[10:05] Makoto
    Yeah, he's at Taka U.
[10:07] Makoto
    Asahi is, too.
[10:09] Nao
    Oh, really? So you're all together again.
[10:11] Nao
    You're all still swimming, huh?
[10:15] Makoto
    Actually, I'm in the sports
    education department,
[10:19] Makoto
    so I'm not a swimmer.
[10:20] Nao
    I see.
[10:21] Nao
    I'm in college studying
    sports medicine, myself.
[10:25] Nao
    I'm hoping I can support
    swimmers as a trainer someday.

    It's been so long! You
    guys really have grown up!
[10:40] Nao
    You look a lot tougher now.
[10:42] Nao
    Have you been well?
[10:44] Haru
    Pretty much.
[10:45] Akane
    I heard you knew Asahi in middle school.
[10:49] Akane
    I bet he was constantly making trouble, huh?
[10:51] Asahi
    Sis! I'm not a kid anymore!
[10:54] Nao
    You don't get so depressed anymore, then?
[10:57] Asahi
    Just forget about that already!
[11:00] Nao
    What's Ikuya up to?
[11:02] Nao
    Have you kept in touch with him?
[11:06] Nao
    Natsuya told me that Ikuya's
    going to college in Tokyo, too.
[11:10] Makoto
    Yes, he's at Shimogami University.
[11:13] Makoto
    We saw him at a college newcomer tournament
    recently for the first time in years.
[11:18] Nao
    Oh, really?
[11:22] Nao
    What's wrong?
[11:23] Makoto
    It seemed like Ikuya hasn't
    been doing so well lately.
[11:27] Nao
    Did something happen?
[11:31] Haru
    It's my fault.
[11:35] Haru
    Ikuya's teammate told me
[11:38] Haru
    that everyone who swims
    with me ends up suffering.
[11:43] Asahi
    Come on, that's not true!
[11:44] Asahi
    Makoto and I haven't suffered at all!
[11:49] Makoto
    We're trying to figure out what to do, but...
[11:55] Nao
    You can't just go talk to him?
[11:57] Makoto
    Toono-kun...
[11:59] Makoto
    Ikuya's teammate...
[12:01] ---
    He doesn't seem to want Ikuya seeing Haru.
[12:04] Nao
    I see...
[12:05] Nao
    Okay, then.
[12:07] ---
    I'll try asking Natsuya.
[12:09] Nao
    But after hearing what you've told me,
[12:12] Nao
    I feel like there's still
    more you guys can do.
[12:18] Nao
    Speaking as your former Iwatobi
    Middle School teammate, you know?
[12:25] Three
    Right.
[12:27] Hiyori
    Look. I found a great café.
[12:31] Ikuya
    Nice color.
[12:32] Hiyori
    Let's go on the way home.
[12:35] Ikuya
    Sorry.
[12:36] ---
    I'm not in the mood today.
[12:39] Hiyori
    Okay. Whenever you feel up to it, then.
[12:44] Ikuya
    Sure.
[12:46] Hiyori
    Didn't the little mermaid...
    turn into foam at the end?
[12:53] Hiyori
    In the book you once said you liked.
[12:58] Hiyori
    I'm actually not that fond of it.
[13:04] Hiyori
    The little mermaid was by the
    prince's side all along, and yet...
[13:11] Ikuya
    Something wrong?
[13:14] Hiyori
    Nah... Nothing's wrong.
[13:20] Asahi
    Mm, that's good!
[13:23] Asahi
    Aren't you gonna eat?
[13:25] Asahi
    Is this National No Mackerel Day?
[13:26] Haruka
    That doesn't exist.

    Didn't I tell you that I hate mackerel?
[13:31] Higashi
    Listen up.
[13:32] Higashi

[13:51] Higashi
    Do you have an answer yet?

[14:39] Asahi
    Oh! You mean that weird old dude?
[14:41] Kon
    Actually, he's...
[14:43] Mikhail
    I hear Japan has all kinds of great proverbs.
[14:47] Mikhail
    Like, "Time is muscle!"
[14:49] Mikhail
    And "Don't expect your parents and
    your muscles to be there forever."
[14:53] Mikhail
    And "Muscle is the key that opens all doors."

    will cry over muscle."
[15:09] Rin
    Is that...
[15:10] Mikhail
    Oh, that's a video of a tournament
    I swam in when I was in high school.
[15:15] Rin
    Wow...
[15:17] Mikhail
    Oh, Rin-kun?
[15:18] Mikhail
    Could it be you're intrigued by
    the muscles I had in my prime?
[15:22] Rin
    Such incredibly bold strokes...
[15:25] Mikhail
    That guy there was more
    powerful than me, though.
[15:28] Kon
    Ryuuji-san. He was actually called
    "Fully Built Ryuuji" back in the day.
[15:33] Kon
    He was a very promising competitive
    swimmer on the global level.
[15:37] Asahi
    That old dude?
[15:39] Kon
    But for whatever reason, he suddenly
    quit swimming competitively.
[15:43] Kon
    I heard he'd been working as a
    coach overseas since he retired.
[15:47] Kon
    All the swimmers he coaches
    pile on tons of strength,
[15:51] Kon
    so now, they call him Pile-It-On Ryuuji.
[15:55] Kon
    I had heard that he was back in Japan...
[15:58] Kon
    I wonder if he plans to be a coach here, too.

    can't seem to get through.
SIGN    Sports Nutrition
[16:18] Hiyori
    He's... a bit worried that
    his time isn't improving.
[16:22] Natsuya
    Has it been long?
[16:23] Hiyori
    Oh... But knowing him,
    I'm sure he'll be fine.
[16:28] Hiyori
    He probably missed your calls
[16:30] Hiyori
    because he's busy focusing
    on the next competition.
[16:34] Natsuya
    Oh, yeah. He's always had a habit of
    forgetting what's going on around him.
[16:39] Natsuya
    But, Hiyori, just... make sure
    he doesn't push himself too hard.
[16:45] Natsuya
    I don't want to go through that again.
[16:48] Hiyori
    Sure.
[16:51] Misaki
    Wow, this looks so good!
[16:53] ---
    College must be awesome!
[16:55] Makoto
    So that weird guy wasn't a cafeteria critic,
[16:58] Makoto
    but a former competitive swimmer?
[17:03] Makoto
    Haru?
[17:05] Haru
    He asked me why I only swim free,
    and I've been thinking about it.
[17:11] Haru
    I still can't find the answer.
[17:15] Makoto
    The answer...
[17:18] Misaki
    You should just swim something besides free.
[17:25] Misaki
    Was I wrong?
[17:30] Hiyori
    His butterfly and backstroke, and even the
    breast, his best stroke, have gotten worse.
[17:37] Hiyori
    But
[17:39] ---
    especially his freestyle...
[17:43] Kon
    I wonder why Ryuuji-san was
    roaming around Taka U...
[17:47] Akane
    He's a coach, right?
[17:49] Akane
    Maybe he found a good athlete there.
[17:54] Akane
    Welcome.
[17:58] Kon
    Well, speak of the devil.
[18:18] Hiyori
    Ikuya.
[18:20] Hiyori
    What's wrong?
[18:24] Ikuya
    I can't see the stars.
[18:30] Ikuya
    I could see them back then.
[18:36] IKuya
    The day we made that promise...
[18:39] Ikuya
    That day,
[18:41] Ikuya
    both in the sky and in the pool,
[18:45] Ikuya
    and right over my and Haru's heads,
[18:48] Ikuya
    so many stars were raining down.
[18:52] Ikuya
    I felt like all my wishes would come true,
[18:55] Ikuya
    like I had been set free.
[18:59] Ikuya
    But I was wrong.
[19:02] Ikuya
    I was still as weak as ever.
[19:05] Hiyori
    You're strong, Ikuya.
[19:08] Ikuya
    Even if I sink, no one's
    going to save me anymore.
[19:12] Ikuya
    So I have to get stronger on my own.
[19:15] Ikuya
    That's why I practiced so hard...
[19:18] Hiyori
    You could aim for the global level.
[19:20] Hiyori
    You could compete globally.
[19:24] Ikuya
    But I couldn't get stronger.
[19:27] Hiyori
    That's not true!
[19:28] Hiyori
    You've gotten a lot stronger!
[19:31] Hiyori
    You can become who you want to be!
[19:35] Hiyori
    You don't have to wish on stars
    to make dreams come true!
[19:42] Ikuya
    In exchange for her voice,
[19:45] Ikuya
    the little mermaid gained human
    legs and excruciating pain.
[19:49] Ikuya
    I gave up my heart in order to get stronger.
[19:52] Ikuya
    Or I thought I did,
[19:55] ---
    but...
[19:57] Ikuya
    I couldn't become human.
[20:00] Hiyori
    You're wrong!
[20:02] Hiyori
    You're not the little mermaid!
[20:04] Ikuya
    I can't be strong like Haru.
[20:23] Hiyori
    Can't you just forget about Nanase already?
[20:26] Hiyori
    I can't stand to see you suffering
    because of him any longer.
[20:31] Ikuya
    I'll think about myself, for myself.
[20:34] Hiyori
    You could aim for the global level.
[20:37] Hiyori
    I know you can do it.
[20:39] Hiyori
    You can become a new you!
[20:42] Hiyori
    If that'll bring you happiness—
[20:44] IKuya
    You don't...
[20:45] Ikuya
    You don't understand anything!
[20:47] Ikuya
    Don't talk like you do!
[20:57] Hiyori
    You're not the normal Ikuya right now.
[20:59] Hiyori
    Ever since you saw Nanase...
[21:03] Hiyori
    Just forget about him.
[21:06] Hiyori
    Ikuya...
[21:09] Hiyori
    Why don't you get it?!
[21:11] Hiyori
    That would be the best
    thing for you right now!
[21:16] Ikuya
    It's not your concern, Hiyori!

    Sorry.

[00:29] Haru
    I asked him to coach me.

    Haru?
[00:32] Higashi
    I won't be an official coach or anything.
[00:35] Higashi
    I'm not going to his school with him, either.
[00:38] Higashi
    Just think of it as private lessons.
[00:42] Makoto
    But you worked as a coach
    overseas, didn't you?
[00:46] Makoto
    Haru, can you afford to
    hire someone like that?
[00:50] Higashi
    Oh, don't worry about that.
[00:51] Higashi
    He can just buy me dinner or something.
[00:54] Higashi
    Just...

    Hey, Sis, I'm starving.
[03:09] Asahi
    Get me something to eat.

    Speak of the devil...
[03:13] Asahi
    What'd I miss?
[03:14] Kisumi
    We were talking about how you guys
    are working hard for the tournament.
[03:18] Asahi
    That's right! I'm starting practice
    first thing tomorrow, too!
[03:21] Asahi
    Anyway, Sis, food!
[03:24] Akane
    Sorry, it looks like we're
    short on supplies for dinner,
[03:27] Akane
    so I'll have to go shopping.
[03:29] Akane
    Watch Tsukushi, would you?
[03:30] Asahi
    Sure.
[03:32] Akane
    Oh, you'd rather go to Kisumi-kun?
[03:34] Kisumi
    Hey, cut that out.
[03:36] Asahi
    That's... kind of infuriating...
[03:39] Akane
    Okay, he's all yours.
[03:41] Kisumi
    Hey, come on, Tsukushi, keep stil—
[03:45] Kisumi
    Asahi, are you okay?!
[03:46] Asahi
    That's a pretty good kick you've got...
[03:50] Higashi
    Well, I'm on bike, so I'll be off.
[03:53] Higashi
    Don't forget, you owe me some cafeteria soba.
[03:57] Higashi
    See ya.
[04:00] Makoto
    He might actually be a decent guy.
[04:02] Haru
    Maybe.
[04:05] Makoto
    That surprised me, though.
[04:07] Makoto
    I never expected you to suggest
    that kind of practice yourself.
[04:11] Haru
    I'm not sure about it, either.
[04:14] Haru
    But...
[04:15] Haru
    It's for Ikuya.
[04:20] Makoto
    Yeah.

    You okay, Kirishima?
[04:37] Ikuya
    Yeah.
[04:38] Hoshikawa
    This isn't like you.
[04:40] ---
    Your time's even worse than before.
[04:42] Hoshikawa
    If this keeps up, you won't make
    it to the All-Japan Invitational.
[04:46] Ikuya
    I know.
[04:58] Hoshikawa
    Is he really okay?
[05:01] Hiyori
    I think he's just anxious,
    with the tournament coming up.

    Today's regimen was even tougher than usual.
[05:15] Terashima
    Well, as someone who's going
    for a tournament record,
[05:18] Terashima
    I thought it wasn't tough enough.
[05:20] Sagae
    So what now? Wanna grab some food?
[05:22] Terashima
    Good idea. Come with us, Toono.
[05:25] Hiyori
    Sorry... I'm pretty tired

    get to see Kirishima Ikuya?

    Huh?
[06:13] Unida
    He was your buddy in middle school, right?
[06:15] Asahi
    No, we missed him.
[06:18] Inada
    Well, Kirishima's going for the global level.
[06:21] Kiryuu
    He's in a slump, though, isn't he?
[06:23] Unida
    He is?
[06:24] Suzuki
    I'm in a slump, too! My
    time just won't improve!
[06:27] Mikoshiba
    Only athletes who once reached
    the peak can fall into slumps.
[06:32] Mikoshiba
    You're just not working hard enough, Suzuki.
[06:35] Suzuki
    S-Sorry!
[06:37] Mikoshiba
    There's not much time left until
    the college championships.
[06:40] Mikohsiba
    We have to use that time to the fullest
[06:42] Mikoshiba
    and work for victory together!
[06:44] All
    Right!
[06:46] Unida
    I really hope we win the
    college championships.
[06:49] Kiryuu
    And then what? The All-Japan Invitational?
[06:51] Asahi
    I'd love that, but from where I am
    now, it's gonna be a close shave...
[06:56] Suzuki
    Should you say that about yourself?
[06:58] Asahi
    But I'm gonna stake everything
    on that close shave!
[07:02] Unida
    You have been working
    really hard lately, Asahi.
[07:05] Asahi
    Better believe it!
[07:07] Asahi
    My goal is the global stage!
[07:09] ---
    I'll be practicing more after this, too!
[07:11] Kiryuu
    Well, I don't know how far I'll make it,
[07:15] Kiryuu
    but all I can do is give my
    all for the next four years.
[07:17] Kiryuu
    It's been my dream to swim at the
    global level since I was a kid.
[07:22] Haru
    Dream...
[07:24] Unida
    What about you, Nanase?
[07:26] Unida
    Was it your dream to swim
    at the global level, too?
[07:31] Haru
    I...
[07:33] Haru
    lived in a little town called Iwatobi,
[07:36] Haru
    and I just loved the water.
[07:39] Haru
    I only swam free.
[07:42] Haru
    In elementary school, I met my teammates
[07:46] Haru
    and learned how fun it is to swim in relays.
[07:49] Haru
    I met new teammates in middle
    school and high school,
[07:53] Haru
    and had all kinds of new experiences,
[07:55] Haru
    and now, I'm in Tokyo, still swimming.
[08:00] Haru
    I feel like I've come a really long way.
[08:04] Haru
    If you asked me what lies ahead of me now...
[08:08] Haru
    I...
[08:14] Higashi
    Nanase, your weakness lies in your mentality.
[08:18] Higashi
    But that can be a strength, too.
[08:20] Higashi
    For an athlete, mental
    fortitude is essential.
[08:24] Higashi
    Your mental fortitude determines
    the results you produce.
[08:27] Higashi
    You can still get much stronger.

    Did you get my message? I'm back in Japan.

    I'm in Tokyo now. Want to meet for dinner?

[11:16] Natsuya
    What do you mean?
[11:18] Nao
    Do you want to find him and talk to him?
[11:22] Natsuya
    Even if I did, he says he
    doesn't want to see me.
[11:24] Natsuya
    What can I do?
[11:26] Natsuya
    Besides, I trust him.

[20:50] Ikuya
    I'm glad I got to talk to you.
[20:52] Ikuya
    I'll be going now.
[20:54] Asahi
    Huh?
[20:55] Ikuya
    In the pool, I'm alone.
[20:57] ---
    No one's going to save me.
[20:59] Ikuya
    That hasn't changed.
[21:03] Asahi
    Ikuya...
[21:05] Ikuya
    I have to get stronger.
[21:08] Ikuya
    Otherwise, I won't be me anymore.
[21:13] Ikuya
    I have to get stronger,
    and not rely on anyone.
[21:17] Ikuya
    Stronger...
[21:19] ---
    Stronger...
[21:21] Ikuya
    Right now, that's the only answer for me.
[21:28] Ikuya
    Haru? Why...
[21:31] Haru
    This was the only way I could swim with you.
[21:35] Haru
    Don't say you can do it all alone.
[21:38] Haru
    You're not alone.

    The witch handed the little
    mermaid a knife and said,
[00:06] Hiyori
    "Use this to pierce the prince's heart,
    and you will return to your original form.
[00:10] Hiyori
    If you fail, you will turn
    into sea foam and disappear."
[00:18] Hiyori
    And I...
[00:22] Makoto
    Toono-kun?
[00:25] Hiyori
    Hey, you're here, too?
[00:27] Makoto
    Yeah, to root for my friends.
[00:31] Hiyori
    Friends...
[00:35] Makoto
    You know, Toono-kun, when I swam with you,
[00:39] Makoto
    I got the sense that you were
    trying too hard at something.
[00:42] Hiyori
    Trying too hard? Me?
[00:45] Hiyori
    Well, you have to try hard
    to win at tournaments.
[00:49] Makoto
    That's not what I mean.
[00:51] Makoto
    I mean, like, with Ikuya...
[00:56] Makoto
    Can't you have a little more faith in him?
[01:00] Makoto
    I think it would make it
    easier for you to swim, too.
[01:04] Makoto
    You can just be you in the water.
[01:06] Makoto
    Like—
[01:07] Hiyori
    Like Nanase? Is that what you're getting at?
[01:12] Hiyori
    He's all anyone ever talks about!
[01:15] Hiyori
    If Ikuya had never seen him again...
[01:19] Hiyori
    Why?
[01:21] Hiyori
    I seriously don't get it!
[01:27] Makoto
    I can't really explain it,
[01:29] Makoto
    but if you swam with Haru, you'd understand.
[01:33] Makoto
    He has something special
    when he's in the water.
[01:39] Makoto
    Let's go. Ikuya's race is starting.

    Sorry I took so long.
[03:22] Natsuya
    You're late, Nao.
[03:24] Nao
    Looks like I somewhat made it in time.
[03:26] Natsuya
    But, man...
[03:28] Natsuya
    Who knew Haruka, the guy who insisted
    he'd only swim free, would do this?
[03:34] Nao
    We all grow up. He's no different.
[03:38] Hoshikawa
    Nanase from Taka U is in the next lane...
[03:40] Hoshikawa
    I didn't know he swam the IM.

[03:45] Mikoshiba
    You and Kirishima Ikuya were

[03:51] Mikoshiba
    This should be a good race.
[03:55] Voice
    Take your marks.
[04:01] Kisumi
    Wow, the butterfly!
[04:03] Kisumi
    Haru's amazing!
[04:05] Makoto
    But...
[04:06] Makoto
    Ikuya is...
[04:08] Asahi
    That doesn't seem like him at all.
[04:10] Asahi
    It's like he's fighting with the water.
[04:17] Nao
    Haruka's improved his turn.
[04:21] Nao
    You'd never know it was his
    first time doing that stroke.
[04:23] Makoto
    Yeah.
[04:28] Ikuya
    Why can't I swim the way I mean to?
[04:31] Ikuya
    The water... feels heavy...
[04:44] Ikuya
    Haru?
[04:47] Ikuya
    The sound of water...
[04:49] Ikuya
    A liberated sound.
[04:52] Ikuya
    He doesn't pin himself down,
    and he's not bound by speed.
[04:58] Ikuya
    Can someone really be this free?
[05:03] Ikuya
    Haru hasn't changed at all since then.
[05:06] Ikuya
    I'm the one who's changed.
[05:12] Ikuya
    Before I knew it, I'd built
    a cage around my heart.
[05:18] Ikuya
    But...
[05:20] Ikuya
    I think I finally understand why
    I kept clinging to swimming.
[05:26] Ikuya
    All along, I was afraid
[05:29] Ikuya
    of ending up alone again.
[05:33] Ikuya
    I thought everyone would end up leaving me.
[05:38] Ikuya
    So I tried to get stronger.
[05:42] Ikuya
    Strong enough not to
    break even if I'm alone.
[05:45] Ikuya
    Strong enough to be able to fight on my own.
[05:48] Ikuya
    That's why I so desperately kept swimming.
[05:51] Ikuya
    I pushed myself into a corner, all alone...
[05:56] Ikuya
    But I was wrong.
[05:58] Ikuya
    All I was doing was running away.
[06:01] Ikuya
    I was terrified of ending up alone,
[06:03] Ikuya
    and I hid that by swimming
    like my life depended on it.
[06:07] Ikuya
    In reality, the opposite was true.
[06:10] Ikuya
    It's not about getting stronger
    so I can carry on alone.
[06:13] Ikuya
    If I'm not gaining that strength
    for someone else, there's no point.
[06:17] Ikuya
    That's what true strength is.
[06:19] Ikuya
    And gaining that has to
    be what it really means
[06:23] Ikuya
    to be free!
[06:25] Natsuya
    The water's changed...
[06:34] Asahi
    Ikuya...
[06:36] Asahi
    is back!
[06:44] Makoto

[06:46] Asahi

[07:04] Suzuki
    No, it's not! Nanase lost!

    Haru.
[07:14] Ikuya
    I'm back.
[07:17] Haru
    Welcome back.
[07:20] Haru
    I finally kept my promise to you.
[07:26] Ikuya
    You remembered...
[07:30] Haru
    I'd never forget that.
[07:37] Ikuya
    Haru...
[07:40] Ikuya
    Haru!
[07:48] Nao
    Looks like everything's okay now.
[07:52] Natsuya
    Yeah.
[07:54] ---
    It does.
[08:03] Haru
    The shooting stars we saw that night...
[08:06] Ikuya
    Oh, that's right. During the meteor shower.
[08:10] Haru
    What did you wish for then?
[08:15] Ikuya
    It was...
[08:16] Asahi
    Hey, there you are!
[08:18] Ikuya
    Asahi... Makoto...
[08:20] Makoto
    Ikuya, congratulations on coming in first.
[08:22] Asahi
    That was an awesome race!
[08:25] Ikuya
    Thanks.
[08:27] Makoto
    What were you guys talking about?
[08:28] Ikuya
    Huh?
[08:29] Haru
    What we wished for the
    night of our training camp.
[08:31] Ikuya
    Wha... Haru!
[08:32] Asahi
    Really? Hey, Ikuya, tell us about it!
[08:36] Makoto
    I wanna hear it, too!
[08:39] Ikuya
    That night, I wished
[08:41] Ikuya
    that I'd become like Haru.
[08:43] Ikuya
    That I could become a hero like Haru.
[08:46] Haru
    A hero?
[08:48] Ikuya
    Yeah. Not a hero that fights evil and stuff,
[08:51] Ikuya
    but the kind that everyone looks up to.
[08:54] Ikuya
    The kind that helps out whenever
    someone is lost or stuck.
[08:59] Haru
    What even...
[09:00] Makoto
    Haru's embarrassed!
[09:02] Haru
    I am not.
[09:04] Haru
    You might be someone's hero already, Ikuya.
[09:08] Ikuya
    I don't...
[09:09] Asahi
    Yeah, that's true!
[09:11] Makoto
    You just don't realize it.
[09:13] Makoto
    Just like Haru.
[09:14] Ikuya
    Makoto...
[09:16] Asahi
    Heroes don't see themselves as heroes.
    That's what makes them heroes.
[09:21] Asahi
    And now that I've wrapped
    that up so nicely...
[09:24] Ikuya
    Is that for you to say?
[09:27] Makoto
    Shall we head back?
    There are still more races.
[09:30] Makoto
    And isn't there something you'd like
    to tell your friends from Shimo U?
[09:34] Ikuya
    Yeah...
[09:36] Asahi
    Go on, Ikuya.
[09:46] Ikuya
    I'll see you later!
[09:47] Asahi
    Yep.
[09:47] Makoto
    Sure!
[09:50] Asahi
    Let's head back too, Haru.
[09:52] Asahi
    The freestyle relay is next.
[09:54] Haru
    Yeah.
[09:56] Makoto
    What's wrong, Haru?
[09:59] Haru
    Just thinking, am I really Ikuya's hero?
[10:05] Makoto
    Not just Ikuya's, I'm sure.
[10:13] Ikuya
    Hiyori...
[10:25] Hiyori
    You really are amazing, Ikuya.
[10:27] Hiyori
    You come through when it really counts.
[10:33] Ikuya
    Hiyori, I was thinking...
[10:36] Hiyori
    I want to swim relays again.
[10:42] Hiyori
    With Nanase?
[10:44] Ikuya
    No!
[10:45] Ikuya
    That's not what I mean!
[10:48] Hoshikawa
    Hey, there you are, Kirishima.
[10:50] Ikuya
    Captain Hoshikawa...
[10:51] Hoshikawa
    It looked like you finally got back
    into your stride in that last race.
[10:56] Ikuya
    Thank you.
[10:57] Hoshikawa
    So I wanted to run this by you...
[11:00] Hoshikawa
    Do you want to be in the freestyle relay,
[11:02] ---
    the last event of the college championships?
[11:04] Hoshikawa
    If you can swim freestyle the
    way you just did, we can win.
[11:09] Ikuya
    Yes. Please let me do it.
[11:12] Hoshikawa
    Good answer.
[11:13] Ikuya
    But I have one request.
[11:16] Hoshikawa
    Let's hear it.
[11:18] Ikuya
    Put Hiyori in it, too.
[11:21] Ikuya
    I've only done solo events for so long,
[11:23] ---
    I haven't practiced relay exchanges.
[11:26] Ikuya
    But if I'm in it with Hiyori,
[11:29] Ikuya
    I know I can pull it off.
[11:33] Hiyori
    Ikuya...
[11:34] Hoshikawa
    Makes sense.
[11:36] Hoshikawa
    I have no objections to putting Toono in.
[11:39] Hoshikawa
    Will you do it, Toono?
[11:41] Hiyori
    But...
[11:42] Ikuya
    I thought about it, and I realized
    we've never done a relay together.
[11:49] Ikuya
    This is what we should've
    done from the start.
[11:53] Ikuya
    Come on. Swim with me, Hiyori.
[12:03] Hiyori
    Okay, Ikuya.

    Haru-chan and Rin-chan will
    finally face off again!
[12:19] Gou

[12:22] Nagisa
    What?! The Haru-chan who
    says he only swims free...

    "I am"?
[12:29] Romio
    Not "I am"! The "IM"!
[12:31] Rei
    So what were the results?
[12:33] Gou
    He didn't beat the base
    time, but he came in second.
[12:37] Gou
    And he's going to be in
    the freestyle relay next!
[12:40] Rei
    Really?!

    Hey, Hiyori.
[17:54] Ikuya
    Back when I was in kindergarten...
[17:59] Ikuya
    At the swimming school I went to,
[18:02] Ikuya
    there was one kid who was
    always swimming alone.
[18:07] Ikuya
    I wanted to be that kid's friend,
[18:10] Ikuya
    but I had trouble bringing
    myself to talk to him.
[18:14] Ikuya
    One day, I finally did,
[18:17] Ikuya
    and he...
[18:19] ---
    smiled at me.
[18:22] Ikuya
    It was a beautiful smile.
[18:25] Ikuya
    But not long after that, he moved away,
[18:29] Ikuya
    and I didn't see him again.
[18:34] Ikuya
    Was that kid...
[18:40] Hiyori
    I bet your smile was that kid's salvation.
[18:49] Hiyori
    You were a hero to him, Ikuya.

    Are you crying?
[19:52] Natsuya
    Idiot! I'm not crying!
[19:56] Hiyori
    Natsuya-kun?
[19:58] Natsuya
    Hey, Hiyori.
[20:00] Natsuya
    Your exchange with Ikuya was perfect.
[20:02] Natsuya
    It was a great race.
[20:04] Hiyori
    Thank you.
[20:07] Natsuya
    Also...
[20:09] Natsuya
    I'm sorry for leaving
    you to look after Ikuya.
[20:14] Natsuya
    It was too heavy a burden to put on you.
[20:17] Hiyori
    No, it's all right.
[20:20] Ikuya
    Did you just call me a burden?
[20:24] Natsuya
    Sorry about that.
[20:26] Natsuya
    Well, I got to see you both,
    so I'm gonna head home.
[20:30] Natsuya
    See ya.
[20:35] Hiyori
    Why don't you go, too?
[20:53] Kisumi
    You look bored.
[20:55] Hiyori
    Nah.

    saw one side of Ikuya... Um...

    Oh, I'm Shigino Kisumi.

    Hey, want to join my basketball club?

    Wow, that's awesome!
[21:14] Makoto
    Maybe your teams should have
    a joint practice sometime!
[21:17] Haruka
    I'll ask our captain.
[21:19] Ikuya
    Just so you know, our
    practices are pretty tough.
[21:23] Ikuya
    Think you can keep up, Asahi?
[21:24] Asahi
    What about you?
[21:26] ---
    Think you can keep up with my training?
[21:28] Ikuya
    What's your training, exactly?

    Push-ups while standing on my
    head and flutter kicking—
[21:34] Ikuya
    That's not even possible, you idiot.

    Hey! Let me finish!

    Asahi, Makoto. Mor—
[03:46] Hiyori
    Good morning!
[03:47] Asahi
    Geh! You're here, too?
[03:49] Hiyori
    Did you really think I wouldn't be?
[03:51] Makoto
    Are you racing today, too?
[03:53] Hiyori
    No, I'm just here to cheer on Ikuya today.
[03:56] Asahi
    Ah, okay.
[03:58] Asahi
    So what races are you gonna be in, Ikuya?
[04:00] Ikuya
    The 100m free and 100m breast.
[04:03] Hiyori
    He already beat the base
    time in the IM last time.
[04:06] Asahi
    I'm going for free today, too!
[04:08] Asahi
    I beat the 50m base time, so
    now I'm gonna clear 100m, too!
[04:11] Hiyori
    Well, good luck with that.
[04:13] Hiyori
    You'll probably just end up
    making Ikuya look better.
[04:17] Asahi
    Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[04:19] Ikuya
    We're in the same heat
    in the 100m free, Asahi.
[04:22] Asahi
    What?!
[04:23] Makoto
    Oh, so you are.
[04:26] Asahi
    Looks like I'll be able to repay my
    debt for the freestyle relay already.
[04:29] Ikuya
    Okay, then...
[04:30] Ikuya
    If I win, you have to buy me something.
[04:33] Hiyori
    Pistachio drinks are Ikuya's favorite.
[04:36] Asahi
    Well, aren't we confident?
[04:39] Asahi
    Okay, if I win, you have to get
    me a banana shake... in a barrel!
[04:43] Ikuya
    What the heck?
[04:46] Ikuya
    Anyway, didn't Haru start
    his training camp today?
[04:49] Makoto
    Yeah. He was invited to a special strength
    training camp just for the All-Japan athletes.
[04:55] Asahi
    He's probably feeling pretty lonely
    without us right about now.
[04:59] Ikuya
    Haru will have to wait. We
    need to start getting ready.
[05:03] Ikuya
    Let's go.
[05:04] Asahi
    Sure.
[05:05] Asahi
    We're off, then.
[05:06] Makoto
    Good luck, both of you!
[05:09] Asahi
    Thanks!

    You don't want to go see him?

    The next time I see Ikuya will be
    in the All-Japan Invitational finals.
[05:18] Nao
    Gotcha.
[05:19] Nao
    I'm surprised you entered the
    IM at the last minute, though.
[05:23] Nao
    You sure you can do this?
[05:24] Natsuya
    Of course I can.
[05:27] Natsuya
    My new dream is already set in motion.
[05:30] Nao
    Yeah, okay.
[05:32] Natsuya
    There sure are a lot of strong
    first-years this year, though.
[05:36] Natsuya
    Kinjou from Suda Higashi High School
[05:38] Natsuya
    is Naribusawa University's
    top ace now, I hear.
[05:41] Nao
    Yeah. They say he's the one closest
    to beating Japan's freestyle record.
[05:46] Nao
    He may face Ikuya and Haruka someday, too.

    I see you're focusing on
    freestyle in today's practice.
[06:08] Mikoshiba
    Not doing the IM anymore?
[06:10] Haru
    That's right. Free makes me
    feel closest to the water.
[06:15] Mikoshiba
    I should've known you'd stick to free!

    That's typical you.

    So, the regional tournament

    Yeah! And we all get to do
    the medley relay together!
[10:13] Romio
    I'm really psyched!
[10:14] Nagisa
    Yeah! I am, too.
[10:17] Shizuru
    Your exchanges have improved, Romio.
[10:19] Romio
    All thanks to Captain Rei!
[10:21] Rei
    No, you have your own strength to thank.
[10:24] Rei
    Besides, the reason Nagisa-kun and
    I won in our individual events
[10:28] Rei
    was because we had you, Romio-kun,
    Shizuru-kun, and of course, Nagisa-kun...
[10:32] Rei
    And Gou-san and Ayumu-san, too.
[10:34] Rei
    It's because we all worked hard together
[10:36] Rei
    that the Iwatobi High School
    Swim Club made it this far.
[10:39] Nagisa
    And for the two of us, this
    is our last summer here.
[10:45] Rei
    The time that's passed since you
    invited me to join the Swim Club
[10:48] Rei
    really flew by in a heartbeat.
[10:50] Nagisa
    Yeah.
[10:52] Rei
    But it's not over yet!
[10:55] Rei
    We have to go to the nationals!
[10:58] Rei
    To Tokyo, where Haruka-senpai
    and the rest are!
[11:01] Rei
    The regionals are just a checkpoint for us.
[11:04] Rei
    What we're aiming for is beyond that!
[11:06] Rei
    Haruka-senpai and the other guys are aiming
    even higher in the world, after all!
[11:11] Shizuru
    The world...
[11:13] Rei
    That's right!
[11:14] Rei
    Our bodies and minds are still evolving.
[11:17] Rei
    We can still aim higher, for the
    nationals, and even for the world!
[11:22] Nagisa
    And you were the one who said,
    "Humans evolved to live on land."
[11:29] Gou
    You've evolved more than anyone, Rei-kun.
[11:32] Ayumu
    Um, I also
[11:34] Ayumu
    want to go to the nationals.
[11:36] Romio
    I want to be in a tournament
[11:38] Romio
    in Tokyo, my second home, now
    that I've grown and improved!
[11:42] Shizuru
    I want to eat Tokyo seafood.
[11:44] Shizuru
    Authentic local tsukudani, too.
[11:45] Ayumu
    That sounds delicious.
[11:47] Nagisa
    There are lots of things I want to eat, too!
[11:50] Nagisa
    Like a concrete jungle parfait!
[11:52] Shizuru
    Or a chocolate fatty tuna parfait.
[11:52] Rei
    Dreams...
[11:54] Romio
    I'm not sure I'd want that...
[11:54] Rei
    I wonder where I'll be next
    year, and what I'll be doing...
[11:56] Ayumu
    It would definitely be very fatty.
[11:58] Gou
    Hey, we're not going there
    to play around, you know.
[12:10] Ikuya
    He's cute.
[12:12] Ikuya
    I was the youngest in my family, so
    I always wanted a little brother.
[12:14] Akane
    Oh, you're welcome to take
    my little brother, then.
[12:20] Asahi
    Why're you making that face?!
[12:22] Ikuya
    No reason.
[12:24] Akane
    Great job at the tournament today!
[12:26] Asahi
    This looks so good!

    time in the 100m free and 100m breast!

    Thanks, guys.
[12:39] Ikuya
    You did great too, Asahi.
[12:41] Asahi
    It sucks that I lost,
[12:42] Asahi
    but more than that, I'm happy that you
    got to swim freestyle in your own way.
[12:47] Ikuya
    Yeah...
[12:48] Asahi
    But you know what?
[12:49] ---
    I'm gonna win next time, so be ready!
[12:53] Ikuya
    You said that a lot in seventh grade, too.
[12:56] Asahi
    Shut up!
[12:57] Makoto
    You did beat the base time
    in the 200m butterfly.
[13:01] ---
    That's amazing, too.
[13:02] Asahi
    Well, the butterfly and I are synonymous.
[13:04] Makoto
    I guess Natsuya-senpai swam
    too, didn't he? In the IM.
[13:08] Ikuya
    Yeah...
[13:09] Hiyori
    I heard from Natsuya-kun
    that he beat the base time.
[13:12] Asahi
    Wow...
[13:13] Ikuya
    He'll be my rival now.
[13:15] Asahi
    Brother against brother in
    the IM, huh? That's awesome!
[13:19] Kisumi
    Sorry I'm late.
[13:22] Kisumi
    How was the race, Asahi?
[13:24] Hiyori
    Ikuya kicked his butt in freestyle.
[13:27] Asahi
    Don't be so emphatic on that part!
[13:29] Kisumi
    So the ones going to the
    All-Japan for freestyle
[13:31] Kisumi
    will be Asahi and Toono-kun
    in the 50m, Ikuya in the 100m,
[13:35] Kisumi
    and Haru in the 100m and 200m?
[13:37] Kisumi
    Makoto, do you know how Rin did?
[13:39] Makoto
    He messaged me the other day.
[13:41] Makoto
    He beat the base time in the 100m
    butterfly and the 100m freestyle.
[13:45] Kisumi
    Wow, the 100m freestyle's
    gonna be quite a battle, huh?
[13:48] Asahi
    Rin... Is that the guy you and Haru
    swam with at Iwatobi Elementary?
[13:52] Asahi
    Matsuoka Rin, was it?
[13:53] Makoto
    Yeah.
[13:54] Makoto
    He swam with me, Haru, and Nagisa
    in our first medley relay.

    Matsuoka Rin...
[14:01] Hiyori
    He went to high school at
    Samezuka Academy, didn't he?
[14:04] Makoto
    Yeah.
[14:05] Makoto
    Now he's going to school in Australia
[14:08] Makoto
    and swimming with a club team in Sydney.
[14:10] Kisumi
    Rin and Haru are good rivals, huh?
[14:13] Asahi
    Aren't they having friendly races
    today at Haru's training camp?
[14:17] Asahi
    You gonna go cheer him on, Makoto?
[14:19] Makoto
    Yep, as soon as I'm off work tonight.
[14:22] Hiyori
    Sure you can get there in time?
[14:23] Makoto
    It'll be close.
[14:25] Makoto
    Either way, I know Haru will do just fine.

    You're Russian, Nitori?!

    No, he's just a relative of my mom's.
[15:16] Momo
    You're amazing, Ai-senpai! So global!
[15:19] Rin
    Never saw that coming...
[15:22] Rin
    Well, Mikhail's coaching me now.
[15:24] Nitori
    I know!
[15:26] Nitori
    He emailed me saying your muscles
    are the kind he only sees
[15:29] ---
    once in thirty years! He was so happy!
[15:33] Rin
    He's a great coach, but then there's that...

    for the medley relay!

    Hey, that's awesome. Congrats.
[15:43] Momo
    We wanted to let you know in
    person instead of in a message!
[15:48] Rin
    The way you guys are now, you could
    make it to the nationals for sure.
[15:51] Rin
    Keep working hard and don't slack off.
[15:53] All
    Right!
[15:56] Nitori
    Um, Rin-senpai...
[15:58] Nitori
    Can we talk for a minute?
[16:01] Nitori
    It's about Sousuke-senpai.
[16:04] Nitori
    We heard he's in Tokyo right now,
[16:09] Nitori
    and we wondered if it might be to
    have surgery on his shoulder...
[16:12] Nitori
    Just thinking about it worries me.
[16:16] Momo
    What do you think, Rin-senpai?
[16:20] Rin
    Well...
[16:22] Rin
    He's walking the path he
    feels is right for him.
[16:25] Rin
    I know he'll be fine.
[16:29] Rin
    So you guys don't need to worry.
[16:33] Rin
    Just focus on your own competition.
[16:36] Both
    Okay!
[16:41] Rin
    I'm home.
[16:43] Mom
    Welcome back, Rin!
[16:44] Gou
    Onii-chan!
[16:45] Gou
    Welcome back!
[16:47] Rin
    Thanks.
[16:49] Rin
    Wow, check this out!
[16:52] Mom
    I might have made a bit too much.
[16:54] Mom
    It'll be ready soon.
[16:56] Rin
    Okay, thanks.
[16:57] Rin
    Hey, Steve! How've you been?
[17:08] TV
    The swimmer I remember most from
    that time is Mikhail Makarovich.
[17:13] TV
    His swimming was really powerful.
[17:17] Rin
    Mikhail?
[17:19] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Rin-kun, we won't be apart for too long.
[17:22] (Flashback) Mikhail
    I'll be in Japan by the time of
    the All-Japan Invitational, too.
[17:26] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Get over there and hustle
    with the locals until then.
[17:30] (Flashback) Rin
    Okay, I will. Take care, Coach.
[17:33] (Flashback) Mikhail
    No worries there. One bit of
    information for you, though...
[17:36] (Flashback) Rin
    Information?
[17:38] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Apparently Albert Wåhlander
    is in Japan right now.
[17:42] (Flashback) Rin
    Albert? That Albert?
[17:44] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Yep. You should be careful of him.
[17:49] (Flashback) Rin
    What do you mean by that?
[17:52] (Flashback) Mikhail
    His swimming is...
[17:54] (Flashback) Mikhail
    not of this world.
[17:57] TV
    And of course, the powerhouse swimmer
    who was active in Mikhail's time
[18:01] TV
    was "Fully Built Ryuuji," Azuma Ryuuji.
[18:05] TV
    Take a look at his individual medley!
[18:07] ---
    He certainly is fully built!
[18:09] Gou
    PMH Azuma!
[18:11] Rin
    PMH?
[18:13] Gou
    I know those muscles! That's him!
[18:15] Gou
    The Perfectly Muscled Handsome Azuma-san!
[18:19] Gou
    PMH for short!
[18:21] Gou
    He used to be in the Iwatobi
    High School Swim Club!
[18:22] TV
    Mikhail and Azuma ruled the swimming
    world together fifteen years ago.
[18:27] TV
    Each of them saw the other
    as his strongest rival.
[18:32] Rin
    Rival...
[19:13] Al
    It's fun!
[19:15] Al
    The water favors you.
[19:16] Al
    I can tell.
[19:20] Isuzu
    Nii-chan!
[19:22] Isuzu
    The foreign swimmer who was
    invited to today's friendly race
[19:25] Isuzu
    was Albert, right?
[19:28] Kiryuu
    Albert? You mean...
[19:30] Mikoshiba
    That's right.
[19:33] Mikoshiba
    The current world record holder
    in the 100m and 200m freestyle.
[19:38] Mikoshiba
    Albert Wåhlander of Sweden.
[19:46] Kids
    Thanks, Coach!
[19:48] Makoto
    Yep. See you tomorrow.
[19:53] Makoto
    Misaki-kun!
[19:55] Makoto
    You're burning up.
[19:57] Misaki
    I'm fine.
[19:58] ---
    I just got a little dizzy.
[20:00] Makoto
    You need to take it easy.
[20:02] Makoto
    I'll get you home.
[20:05] Guy
    Next up is the 200m freestyle.
[20:08] Guy
    Participants, please get ready.
[20:13] Albert
    Let's do this.
[20:17] Makoto
    You know you shouldn't come
    to practice when you're sick.
[20:21] Misaki
    I'm sorry.
[20:23] Makoto
    Is there some reason why you came?
[20:26] Misaki
    The junior swim meet is coming up,
[20:28] Misaki
    and I don't want to lose to him.
[20:31] (Flashback) Misaki
    I want to race against him again, and win!
[20:35] (Flashback) Misaki
    We made a promise to meet
    again at a swim meet!
[20:40] Misaki
    His name's Natsume Kaoru.
[20:43] Misaki
    He's usually quiet, but in the
    water, it's like he's on fire.
[20:47] Misaki
    And he was really fast at freestyle...
[20:51] Misaki
    I was never able to beat him once,
[20:55] Misaki
    so I want to win next time.
[20:58] Makoto
    I get it.
[20:59] ---
    But you shouldn't overdo it.
[21:02] Makoto
    You need to look after your health first.
[21:04] Makoto
    I'll help you out from there.
[21:06] Makoto
    Okay?
[21:08] Misaki
    Yeah.
[21:10] Misaki
    Thanks, Coach Tachibana.

    Haru...
[00:07] Ralph
    That was a great swim.
[00:08] Al
    It wasn't anything special.
[00:10] Makoto
    Isn't that guy...
[00:12] Isuzu
    Yes, it's Albert Wåhlander.
[00:15] Isuzu
    The Swedish swimmer who holds the

    world record in the 100m and 200m freestyle.
[00:20] Makoto
    Uh, you're...
[00:22] Isuzu
    You're Tachibana Makoto-san, right?
[00:24] Isuzu
    I'm the captain of the Hidaka University

[00:28] Isuzu
    You know my older brother!

    Wait, you're Mikoshiba-senpai's sister?
[00:34] Isuzu
    Yeah!
[00:35] Makoto
    I had no idea...
[00:38] Makoto
    Did you see the race?
[00:39] ---
    What'd you think of Haru?
[00:40] Isuzu
    He didn't seem to be in bad form.
[00:43] Isuzu
    Albert, though... He's been called
    the Odin of the swimming world.
[00:48] Makoto
    That's the god of battle and
    death in Norse mythology, right?
[00:51] Isuzu
    Right.
[00:52] ---
    The rumors say that anyone
[00:54] Isuzu
    who swims with him feels their
    mind being torn apart.
[01:00] Guy
    Would all those who are not participants
    or staff please clear the venue?

[02:54] Sousuke
    Hey.
[02:55] Sousuke
    Good to see you, Rin.
[02:57] Rin
    Hey, Sousuke.
[03:00] Rin
    It's been a while, huh?
[03:01] Sousuke
    Yeah. When did you get in from Sydney?
[03:04] Rin
    Uh... A little while ago.
[03:06] Rin
    I'm here for the All-Japan Invitational.
[03:08] Sousuke
    The All-Japan, huh?
[03:11] Rin
    Oh, yeah. I got you a souvenir, too.
[03:16] Sousuke
    Uh...
[03:17] Rin
    You have a scary-looking face, so I
    thought it'd soften your image a little.
[03:21] Sousuke
    Very funny.
[03:23] Rin
    Shut up. I had the right idea, didn't I?
[03:26] Rin
    Oh, I stopped by Samezuka, too.
[03:28] Rin
    Seems like Ai and Momo made
    it into the regionals.
[03:31] Sousuke
    Oh, good. Those guys worked hard.
[03:34] Rin
    Oh, and apparently my coach,
    Mikhail, is a relative of Ai's.
[03:39] Sousuke
    For real?
[03:40] Rin
    Yeah. Small world, right?
[03:43] Sousuke
    Sure is.
[03:46] Rin
    So anyway, Sousuke...
[03:49] Rin
    I mean...
[03:50] Rin
    Um, so...
[03:54] Sousuke
    You want to ask how my surgery went, right?
[03:58] Rin
    Y-Yeah.
[04:09] Sousuke
    A success.
[04:14] Sousuke
    The surgery was a success.
[04:27] Rin
    Good.
[04:28] ---
    That's what I wanted to hear.
[04:30] Sousuke
    You crying?
[04:31] Rin
    Like hell I am!
[04:35] Sousuke
    I feel like I'm finally
    standing at the starting line.
[04:38] Sousuke
    Keep taking on the world until I get moving.
[04:43] Rin
    Don't get smart with me.
[04:45] Rin
    I don't have time to wait around.
[04:47] Rin
    I've gotta keep moving ahead,
    even beyond the horizon.
[04:51] Sousuke
    Another poem?
[04:53] Rin
    It's fitting enough right now, isn't it?
SIGN    Haru
SIGN    How's the camp? Wasn't it hot today? You okay?
[05:00] Makoto
    No reply...
[05:02] Saotome
    What? Is he ignoring you?
[05:04] Makoto
    He lost his race at the friendly
    match, so he might be depressed...
[05:08] Saotome
    Oh, yeah...
[05:10] Saotome
    He must be at the stage of
    trying to accept that he lost.
SIGN    How's the camp? Wasn't it hot today? You okay?
[05:17] Makoto
    Once you finish ten laps, take a break.
[05:20] Makoto
    Misaki-kun, how are you feeling?
[05:23] Misaki
    I'm fine now.
[05:24] ---
    Thanks for your help last time.
[05:26] Makoto
    No, I'm sorry I didn't notice it sooner.
[05:29] Makoto
    But don't push yourself too hard again, okay?
[05:31] Misaki
    Right!
[05:33] Nao
    Makoto.
[05:34] Makoto
    Oh, Nao-senpai.
[05:36] Nao
    I heard something from a friend
    that bothered me a little.
[05:39] Nao
    It's about Haruka.
[05:41] Makoto
    About the friendly match
    at his training camp?
[05:44] Nao
    Yeah.
[05:46] Makoto
    I didn't get there in time
    to see all of his race.
[05:49] Makoto
    I only saw Haru come in second
    to that Albert Wåhlander guy.
[05:54] Nao
    I see...
[05:56] Makoto
    I haven't been able to get
    in touch with Haru since.
[05:59] Makoto
    I heard the athletes at
[06:00] ---
    the camp are on their way to a
    training facility on higher ground...
[06:04] Makoto
    But I'm worried Haru might
    be dwelling on his loss.
[06:07] Makoto
    I can't help wondering if there's
    anything I can do for him...
[06:12] Nao
    You might be cut out
[06:14] ---
    for a job that puts you close to
    swimmers so you can help them out.
[06:16] Makoto
    Huh?
[06:17] Nao
    Like a trainer, maybe.
[06:19] Makoto
    You mean...
[06:21] Nao
    Yeah. Helping them with stretches
    and massage so they don't get hurt,
[06:25] Nao
    offering mental support, things like that.
[06:29] Nao
    I'm actually studying some of that stuff now,
[06:32] Nao
    thanks to that friend I mentioned before.
[06:34] Makoto
    Really?
[06:37] Nao
    After what happened with my eye,
[06:39] Nao
    I decided to go into sports medicine.
[06:42] Nao
    There's more than one way
    to be involved in swimming.
[06:45] Nao
    I'm sure there's something that'll
    make use of your best talents, too.
[06:49] Makoto
    Um—
[06:50] Misaki
    Coach Tachibana?
[06:52] Misaki
    Do you have a second?
[06:53] Nao
    Well, I'd better go.
[06:55] Nao
    Misaki-kun, your competition's
    coming up, right?
[06:57] Nao
    Good luck.
[06:58] Nao
    Thanks, Coach Serizawa!
[07:03] Makoto
    What's up, Misaki-kun?
[07:05] Misaki
    Well, I just can't get my turns right.
[07:09] Misaki
    I think you're kicking a little too
    soon after pushing off the wall.
[07:13] Makoto
    Want to give it a try now? I'll watch.
[07:15] Misaki
    Okay.
[07:19] Misaki
    Natsume's turns are really smooth...
[07:24] Makoto
    Natsume-kun is the one who
    moved away, right? Your rival?
[07:28] Misaki
    Yeah.
[07:29] Misaki
    So I'm gonna work hard, too.
[07:31] Misaki
    He's gonna be so surprised!
[07:35] Misaki
    See ya, Coach Tachibana!
[07:39] Makoto
    There's always going to be a
    winner and a loser, in any sport.
[07:43] Makoto
    Someone has to win, and someone has to lose.

[08:19] Rei
    After three years of toil,
[08:20] Rei
    I have at last begun to walk the path
    toward becoming a butterfly champion!
[08:26] Shizuru
    Isn't three years actually not that long?
[08:29] Ayumu
    Getting to the nationals in
    just that much time is amazing.
[08:32] Ayumu
    Maybe Rei-senpai is possessed by something...
[08:35] Rei
    That's right. The butterfly
    ghost has possessed me...
[08:39] Rei
    Seriously though, just commend
    me on my efforts, you guys!
[08:42] Nagisa
    I'll be there, too. For
    the 100m breaststroke!

    See you soon.
[09:07] Nagisa
    Rin-chan's in Tokyo now?
[09:09] Gou
    He said he wanted to see Sousuke-kun.
[09:11] Nagisa
    I see.
[09:12] Nagisa
    We'll get to see them all too, right?
[09:14] Nagisa
    Haru-chan, Mako-chan, Rin-chan,
    Sou-chan, and Iku-chan.
[09:19] Nagisa
    I wonder if we'll see Asa-chan, too.
[09:20] Gou
    It's hard to tell who you're talking about
    when you call them all "chan" like that...
[09:23] Nagisa
    Huh? What should I use, then?
[09:26] Nagisa
    Like, "sama" or "dono"?
[09:28] Rei
    Haruka-sama...
[09:29] Romio
    Like he's a prince?
[09:30] Rei
    Makoto-dono...
[09:32] Romio
    Sounds like someone in a period drama.
[09:33] Gou
    We could just name them for their muscles!
[09:35] Gou
    Like "Beautiful Killer
    Muscle Cool," BKC Nanase...
[09:39] Gou
    And "Nice Killer Muscle
    Lovely," NKL Tachibana!
[09:42] Ayumu
    Those are really hard to say.
[09:44] Shizuru
    Really? But "Perfect Killer
    Muscle Handsome" was a big hit.
[09:49] Ayumu
    With who?
[09:50] Shizuru
    My grandpa.
[10:03] Makoto
    The way they swim is said to resemble
    a dog sniffing the ground as it walks.
[10:07] Makoto
    That's why it's known in Japan
    as a "dog shark," this says.
[10:10] Rin
    Aw. It's actually kinda cute.
[10:14] Makoto
    I've been dying to show it to you!
[10:15] Rin
    You're just as weird as ever, I see.
[10:17] Rin
    You and Haru both.
[10:19] Makoto
    You haven't changed, either.
[10:21] Makoto
    You seem a little stronger now, though.
[10:24] Rin
    Yeah. Studying abroad made a difference.
[10:29] Makoto
    I heard you saw Sousuke?
[10:33] Rin
    Yeah.
[10:34] Rin
    He said his surgery was a success.
[10:39] Makoto
    Really? That's great news.
[10:45] Rin
    Oh, by the way, I met a guy named
    Kirishima Natsuya in Sydney.
[10:48] Rin
    He's been roaming all over
    the world entering races.
[10:52] Makoto
    Nao-senpai told me a little about that.
[10:54] Makoto
    Natsuya-senpai's amazing, isn't he?
[10:57] Rin
    He was worried that his little
    brother wasn't doing so well.
[11:00] Makoto
    Oh, Ikuya bounced back after
    swimming in an IM with Haru.
[11:03] Rin
    Haru swam an IM?!
[11:05] Makoto
    Yeah. He's not sure if he'll
    ever do it again, though.
[11:11] Rin
    I guess free is still the
    only way to go for him, huh?
[11:14] Rin
    So what's going on with Haru now?
[11:16] Rin
    I haven't been able to get in
    touch since I got to Japan.
[11:19] Makoto
    Well...
[11:21] Rin
    Did something happen?
[11:23] Makoto
    He was in a friendly race
    at his training camp,
[11:25] Makoto
    and a Swedish swimmer named
    Albert Wåhlander beat him.
[11:29] (Flashback) Mikhail
    You should be careful of him.
[11:33] (Flashback) Mikhail
    His swimming is...
[11:35] (Flashback) Mikhail
    not of this world.
[11:39] Rin
    Haru swam with him?
[11:45] Rin
    Let's go, Makoto.
[11:47] Makoto
    Where?
[11:47] Rin
    To see Haru!
[11:48] Makoto
    What? Right now?
[11:58] Ryuuji
    Sheesh.
[12:00] Ryuuji
    You're only focusing on
    swimming long distances.
[12:02] Ryuuji
    You need to balance it
    with sprint practice, too.
[12:05] Haru
    All right. Let's practice
    sprints next, Coach.
[12:07] Ryuuji
    You're the one who got yourself
    into that race and lost!
[12:12] Ryuuji
    Don't get all pissy with me!
[12:14] Ryuuji
    You lost because you took on a
[12:16] ---
    world record swimmer before
    your body reached peak form.
[12:19] Haru
    I won't lose next time.
[12:20] Ryuuji
    Were you always this competitive?
[12:23] Haru
    I'll swim more after a quick break.
[12:25] Haru
    If there's anything you want
    to teach me, do it now.
[12:31] Ryuuji
    Are you familiar with the term "shuhari"?
[12:33] Haru
    Shuhari?
[12:35] Ryuuji
    It's used in Japanese disciplines such
    as martial arts and tea ceremonies.
[12:38] Ryuuji
    First is "shu," upholding the fundamentals.
[12:40] Ryuuji
    Next is "ha," breaking tradition.
[12:43] Ryuuji
    Finally, there's "ri," transcending.
[12:48] Ryuuji
    Your freestyle is going in reverse order.
[12:50] Ryuuji
    You broke tradition first.
[12:52] Ryuuji
    You need to start over from the basics.
[12:57] Haru
    Enough.
[12:58] Ryuuji
    The hell is with that attitude?!
[13:00] Makoto
    Haru...
[13:00] Rin
    Hey, looks like he's still
    working his butt off.
[13:03] Ryuuji
    Hey.
[13:04] Makoto
    Hello.
[13:06] Ryuuji
    You're a long way from school.
[13:07] Ryuuji
    Who's this?
[13:08] Rin
    I'm Matsuoka Rin.
[13:10] Ryuuji
    Oh...
[13:11] Ryuuji
    Freestyle swimmer, right?
    What brings you here?
[13:14] Rin
    I came back here from Sydney,
[13:16] ---
    where I'm studying abroad, for
    the All-Japan Invitational.
[13:18] Ryuuji
    Sydney?
[13:20] Ryuuji
    There should be a swimmer named
    Mikhail there. You know him?
[13:23] Rin
    He's my coach.
[13:26] Ryuuji
    Is that right?
[13:28] Ryuuji
    So the kid I'm coaching
[13:30] Ryuuji
    and the kid he's coaching
    will be facing off, huh?
[13:33] Ryuuji
    Seems like fate.
[13:36] Makoto
    Azuma-san, you're officially
    coaching Haru now?
[13:40] Ryuuji
    Yeah, but he doesn't listen to a thing I say.
[13:44] Ryuuji
    Yo, Nanase! Come on out for today!
[13:48] Rin
    This was Mikhail's rival
    when he was still competing,
[13:51] Rin
    the guy Gou called "Perfect Killer
    Muscle Handsome" Azuma...
[13:56] Ryuuji
    Listen to me. You need to
    start over from the basics.
[13:59] Haru
    What good would going backwards do now?
[14:01] Ryuuji
    I've told you over and over again
    to go back to fundamental training!
[14:05] Makoto
    Haru.
[14:07] Haru
    Makoto? What are you doing here?
[14:09] Makoto
    I couldn't get in touch with you,
    so I thought something happened.
[14:12] Haru
    Sorry. I haven't looked
    at my phone in two weeks.
[14:15] Makoto
    I see.
[14:17] Makoto
    You had me worried.
[14:19] Makoto
    Oh, as for what Azuma-san said...
[14:22] Makoto
    When you fillet a mackerel, you always
    sharpen the knife first, right?
[14:26] Ryuuji
    What the heck are you—
[14:27] Haru
    Yeah. You can't cut a
    mackerel cleanly otherwise.
[14:30] Makoto
    Which means if you want
    to eat good mackerel,
[14:33] Makoto
    it's important to sharpen
    yourself first, too.
[14:37] Makoto
    I think that's what Coach Azuma means.
[14:42] Haru
    Start from the beginning.
[14:47] Ryuuji
    Okay, listen. As I've said over and over,
[14:50] Ryuuji
    competitive swimming is all about technique.
[14:52] Ryuuji
    That's the idea. You get it?
[14:55] Haru
    Yeah. I'll keep it in mind.
[14:57] Ryuuji
    All that time wasted...
[14:59] Rin
    Done talking, Haru?
[15:01] Haru
    Rin!
[15:05] Rin
    Been a while, huh?
[15:07] Rin
    Since that surprise party?
[15:09] Haru
    Yeah.
[15:10] Rin
    You got pretty heated up in there.
[15:12] Haru
    I guess.
[15:14] Rin
    What's so funny?
[15:15] Rin
    I mean, it's been so long
    since I saw you get like that.
[15:21] Haru
    It was a feeling I'd never felt before.
[15:24] Haru
    The water was being taken
    from me, stirred up...
[15:27] Haru
    I was swimming, but it didn't
    feel like I was swimming.
[15:31] Rin
    He must've been pretty incredible,
    to make you talk like that.
[15:35] Rin
    I'm getting excited now.
[15:37] Haru
    You haven't changed, Rin.
[15:39] Rin
    I change every day.
[15:41] Rin
    Even my time is different every time I swim.
[15:43] Rin
    If there's anything that hasn't changed,
[15:46] Rin
    Haru...
[15:47] Rin
    It's that I still want to swim with you.
[15:52] Rin
    I'm looking forward to facing
    you in the freestyle.
[15:55] Haru
    Yeah.
[16:02] Makoto
    Haru and Rin are aiming for the global level.
[16:05] Makoto
    And, what can I do?
[16:07] Ryuuji
    Hey.
[16:09] Ryuuji
    You're pretty good, you know that?
[16:11] Makoto
    Huh?
[16:12] Ryuuji
    I mean you're good at getting
    into an athlete's head.
[16:15] Makoto
    I've known Haru for a long time, that's all.
[16:18] Ryuuji
    Even then, it's harder
    to do than you'd think.
[16:20] Ryuuji
    The better the athlete, the more
    stubborn and egotistical they are.
[16:27] Makoto
    Um, can I ask you something?
[16:29] Makoto
    Why are you coaching Haru?
[16:33] Ryuuji
    I thought a guy who's as comfortable in
    the water as he is seemed interesting.
[16:39] Ryuuji
    When I was still competing, I won all
    the races that I was mentally into,
[16:43] Ryuuji
    but when I wasn't into
    it, I failed every time.
[16:45] Ryuuji
    I realized I'd hit my limit
    and retired as an athlete.
[16:49] Ryuuji
    But I couldn't stop thinking about swimming.
[16:53] Ryuuji
    I kept looking for something I
    could do other than competing.
[16:56] Ryuuji
    Then I decided that I wanted to help
    train up swimmers who had the potential
[17:00] Ryuuji
    to reach a level that I never could.
[17:03] Ryuuji
    I traveled overseas and
    observed a lot of swimmers,
[17:05] Ryuuji
    but none stood out to me.
[17:07] Ryuuji
    And then, I found him.
[17:13] Ryuuji
    He's obsessed with freestyle
    and says it's all he'll do.
[17:16] Ryuuji
    He's like a joke, honestly.
[17:19] Ryuuji
    But that kind of obsession is
    what a top-rate athlete needs.
[17:24] Ryuuji
    That's what I was lacking. My
    focus was all over the place.
[17:27] Ryuuji
    I felt like I'd found a real treasure in him.
[17:31] Ryuuji
    I believe
[17:33] ---
    he can reach a level that
    I never could, one day.
[17:38] Ryuuji
    Don't tell him that.
[17:44] Haru
    Makoto?
[17:45] Makoto
    Oh... Haru, Rin.
[17:50] Makoto
    Haru, you really found
    yourself a great coach.

[06:59] Ikuya
    Will you stop laughing already?
[07:02] Natsaya
    I just never dreamed this day would come.
[07:05] Natsuya
    I wish I could tell my middle-school self
[07:09] Natsuya
    that he'd be racing his kid brother
    at the All-Japan Invitational one day.
[07:17] Ikuya
    I wish I could tell that
[07:19] Ikuya
    to the younger me, too.
[07:24] Natsuya
    Don't hold back.
[07:29] Ikuya
    I won't,
[07:31] ---
    bro.
[07:40] Nao
    Good luck, both of you.
[07:44] Voice
    Take your marks.
[07:55] Asahi
    Natsuya-senpai's fast!
[07:58] Hiyori
    Ikuya...
[08:00] Makoto
    So is Ikuya.
[08:02] Makoto
    He's slowly closing the gap!
[08:05] Mikhail
    Natsuya-kun's brother is lookin' good!
[08:08] Mikhail
    He's all the rage with the youth of today!
[08:14] Mikhail
    Ryuuji!
[08:25] Haru
    They're even.
[08:26] Sousuke
    It's too close to call.
[08:33] Natsuya
    Come get me, Ikuya!
[08:36] Terashima
    You're kidding me! He's
    gaining that much speed now?!
[08:45] Hiyori
    But Ikuya's catching up!

SIGN    Kirishima Natsuya Kirishima Ikuya
[09:13] Natsuya
    You did it.
[09:16] Natsuya
    You've really grown up.
[09:19] Ikuya
    Bro...
[09:25] Ikuya
    Yeah.
[09:28] Ikuya
    Er... Hey...
[09:30] Natsuya
    When the hell did you get so strong?
[09:34] Natsuya
    I'm seriously
[09:36] Natsuya
    proud to call you my kid brother!
[09:49] Ikuya
    You should be.
[09:52] Ikuya
    I'm your kid brother, aren't I?
[10:06] Ryuuji
    Their times weren't bad at all,
[10:08] Ryuuji
    but frankly, they might not
    be enough. It'll be close.
[10:12] Mikhail
    Yeah.
[10:13] Mikhail
    They can't get too confident yet.

[10:31] Hiyori
    ...didn't qualify?
[10:32] Guy
    Were the guys who placed
    first and second adults?
[10:36] Nagisa
    This is intense, Rei-chan.
[10:37] Rei
    Yeah.
[10:39] Rei
    Haruka-senpai and the rest have really
    dived into an incredible world.
[10:45] Hiyori
    The 50m freestyle...
[10:46] Hiyori
    I believe we tied last time, didn't we?
[10:49] Asahi
    Yeah. Let's settle the score
    once and for all today!
[10:52] Asahi
    I've been swimming my butt off for
    this day, and you're gonna see—
SIGN    Naribusawa
[10:58] Asahi
    What's his deal?
[11:03] Ryuuji
    So he's here.
[11:06] Ryuuji
    Kinjou Kaede of Naribusawa.
[11:10] Haru
    That's...
[11:14] Voice
    Take your marks.
[11:24] Akane
    Asahi!
[11:27] Kisumi
    That Kinjou guy's power is incredible!
[11:32] Asahi
    Damn it!
[11:46] Inada
    A tournament record? For real?
[11:49] Unida
    Who goes all-out like that in a qualifier?
[11:52] Ryuuji
    What's wrong?
[11:53] Ryuuji
    Scared?
[11:55] Haru
    No.
[11:56] Ryuuji
    You can't gain that kind of strength
    without throwing something else away.
[12:00] Ryuuji
    No one can survive in the competitive
    world with a regular mindset.
[12:05] Ryuuji
    The only ones who make it are the
    ones who don't waver an inch,
[12:09] Ryuuji
    even if something happens
    to someone they care about.

[12:29] Mikhail
    Not a bad start.

[12:33] Sousuke
    has three guys who've been
    in world championships.

    All right!
[13:08] Mom
    Rin... Well done!
[13:12] Rin
    Yes!
[13:15] Ryuuji
    Okay, you're up next.

    Start getting ready.

    Okay.

    He still has tomorrow's 100m freestyle.
[14:55] Kisumi
    Too bad you didn't make it, Asahi.
[14:57] Asahi
    Yeah... But I don't regret anything.
[15:00] Asahi
    I still have the 200m butterfly tomorrow.
[15:02] Asahi
    And even if I lose there,
[15:03] Asahi
    there's always next year!
[15:05] Kisumi
    You're already talking about next year?
[15:07] Ikuya
    You really haven't changed
    a bit since middle school.
[15:11] Asahi
    Enough with the compliments!
    You're gonna make me blush!
[15:15] Hiyori
    I don't think that was really a compliment.
[15:16] Asahi
    Huh?
[15:21] Sousuke
    Rin.
[15:23] Sousuke
    Congrats on the 100m butterfly.
[15:25] Rin
    Yeah, thanks!
[15:28] Sousuke
    So the world's next, huh?
[15:29] Rin
    Yeah. I don't know how far I'll get,
[15:33] Rin
    but I'll give it all I have.
[15:35] Rin
    I still have the 100m
    freestyle tomorrow, too.
[15:38] Sousuke
    The 100m free, with Kinjou,
    Kirishima Ikuya, Haru, and you.
[15:43] Sousuke
    It'll be a free-for-all.
[15:44] Rin
    I'm more excited than
    nervous right now, though.
[15:48] Sousuke
    That's reassuring.
[15:50] Sousuke
    I hope I can swim in a
    tense race like that soon.
[15:53] Rin
    Yeah.
[15:54] Rin
    You'd better hurry back, Sousuke.
[15:58] Nagisa
    Haru-chan! Over here!
[16:01] Rei
    Great job today!
[16:02] Nagisa
    Haru-chan, we're going out to eat
    with Ai-chan and his friends.
[16:05] ---
    Want to come?
[16:06] Haru
    No, I need to get some air.
[16:09] Nagisa
    Okay...
[16:11] Nagisa
    Well, good luck tomorrow!

    We'll be rooting for you in full force!

    Thanks, both of you.

    See ya, Haru-chan.

    See you tomorrow, Haruka-senpai.
[16:25] Haru
    Yeah.
[16:26] Nagisa
    Mako-chan, Asa-chan, and Iku-chan,
[16:28] Nagisa
    and Hiyo-chan and Kissme, too!
[16:30] Nagisa
    See you tomorrow!
[16:32] Hiyori
    Hiyo?
[16:33] Kisumi
    Why am I "Kissme"?!
[16:35] Ikuya
    Haru, I'll see you in the
    100m freestyle tomorrow.
[16:38] Haru
    Yeah.
[16:39] Asahi
    Give it all you've got!
    I believe in you both!
[16:43] Ikuya
    Good luck in the 200m butterfly, too, Asahi.
[16:46] Asahi
    And you still have the
    100m breaststroke, right?
[16:49] Asahi
    I'll be rooting for you!
[16:50] Ikuya
    Yeah. Thanks.

    Bye.

    See you guys later.
[17:00] Asahi
    Sure!
[17:02] Asahi
    Well, I should head home,
    too. See ya tomorrow.
[17:05] Makoto
    Okay, later.
[17:07] Kisumi
    Bye-bye.
[17:08] Asahi
    Hey, Kisumi, can you drive me home?
[17:12] Makoto
    Haru...
[17:13] Rin
    Hey, you guys!
[17:16] Makoto
    Rin!
[17:16] Rin
    Yo.
[17:18] Rin
    What's up? It's just you two?
[17:20] Makoto
    Rin, congrats on the 100m butterfly!
[17:23] Rin
    Oh, thanks.
[17:25] Makoto
    I couldn't believe how you
    hung in there at the end!
[17:28] Rin
    That sure wore me out, though.
[17:32] Rin
    But the real battle is just starting.
[17:37] Makoto
    Hey, since we're all together,
    want to cool off for a bit?
[17:42] Makoto
    I know a place that's perfect for us.
[17:48] Makoto
    I haven't been this close to the
    ocean since I moved out here.
[17:56] Haru
    You can't survive without
    throwing something away.
[17:59] Haru
    I didn't want to throw anything away.
[18:03] Haru
    But I lost.
[18:06] Haru
    I've been thinking since the race ended...
[18:09] Haru
    Maybe I don't deserve to
    compete at the global level.
[18:17] Haru
    Why are you laughing?
[18:19] Rin
    Oh, just thinking that I guess
    even you feel the pressure here.
[18:23] Rin
    You're actually getting heated up.
[18:26] Makoto
    The rest of us are here because
    of your swimming, Haru.
[18:31] Makoto
    Maybe just the fact that you're
    worried about it is your answer.
[18:35] Haru
    What does that mean?
[18:39] Rin
    You know, Haru...
[18:41] Rin
    I felt like I was being crushed
    under all kinds of pressures.
[18:45] Rin
    There were even times I
    stopped believing in myself.
[18:49] Rin
    I guess you already know all that, though...
[18:52] Rin
    But after all of our struggling
    and butting heads,
[18:56] Rin
    we actually made it this far.
[18:59] Rin
    There's more than one way to chase a dream.
[19:04] Rin
    Let's face tomorrow head-on
    with everything we've got.
[19:10] Makoto
    You know, after working with the kids,
    I've decided I want to be a trainer.
[19:15] Rin
    Really?
[19:16] Makoto
    Watching them go head-to-head
    in pursuit of their dreams
[19:20] Makoto
    made me see that there's
    much more I want to do.
[19:24] Makoto
    I've felt really excited
    ever since I realized that.
[19:27] Makoto
    I want to support swimmers who are
    striving to take on the world.
[19:31] Makoto
    I think that'll give me a way to teach
    kids how much fun swimming is, too.
[19:38] Rin
    That's awesome!
[19:40] Makoto
    I want to support you both, too, if I can.
[19:43] Makoto
    And nothing would beat seeing
    that same view together again!
[19:49] Rin
    Trying to sound all cool now?
[19:51] Rin
    I'll be rooting for you, Makoto.
[19:54] Makoto
    Yep. Thanks.
[20:08] Haru
    I will take on the world!
[20:14] Rin
    Huh? Hey!
[20:17] Makoto
    Let's go too, Rin!
[20:19] Rin
    Huh?!
[20:20] Rin
    Oh, come on... What kind
    of teen drama is this?
[20:23] Rin
    For crying out loud!
[20:27] Mikhail
    There are still more tight races
    to come in this tournament.
[20:30] Mikhail
    The pressure must be immense
    for those teenage kids.
[20:34] Ryuuji
    They're just too mentally weak.
[20:36] Ryuuji
    Jeez... That damn Nanase was so
    close to the world championships.
[20:41] Mikhail
    Did you notice it?
[20:43] Ryuuji
    Yeah.
[20:44] Ryuuji
    Maybe that bad start actually
    sapped his strength.
[20:48] Ryuuji
    In the middle of the race, his
    speed clearly surpassed Albert's.
[20:53] Mikhail
    But he lost speed toward the end.
[20:56] Ryuuji
    I think what he was really worried
    about wasn't Kinjou or Albert.
[21:02] Ryuuji
    He faltered at the feeling of surpassing
    his own limits in freestyle.
[21:06] Ryuuji
    He still has room to improve
    even more. It's scary, honestly.
[21:11] Mikhail
    I think Rin-kun is right up there with him.
[21:14] Ryuuji
    We'll find that out tomorrow.
[21:16] Ryuuji
    He keeps talking about stupid
    stuff like friendship and bonds...
[21:20] Mikhail
    Times change, Ryuuji.
[21:23] Ryuuji
    Those kids might actually...
[21:35] Hiyori
    He beat the base time by a mile.
[21:37] Terashima
    A new tournament record in
    the 100m freestyle, too?
[21:40] Asahi
    That guy's insane...
[21:42] Voice
    The fourth heat of the men's
    100m freestyle qualifier.
[21:50] Rin
    How do you feel, Haru?
[21:52] Haru
    Surprisingly calm.
[21:56] Rin
    I'm psyched.
[21:57] Rin
    The world is waiting for us just ahead.
[22:00] Rin
    It's like a dream, huh?
[22:01] Haru
    But
[22:03] ---
    it's not a dream.
[22:04] Rin
    Yeah, you're right.
[22:06] Rin
    We're so close, we could
    reach out and touch it.
[22:09] Rin
    No one can guess what's going
    to happen from here on.
[22:14] Haru
    Let's go find out
[22:16] Haru
    what lies ahead of us.
[22:18] Rin
    Yeah! Let's dive...
[22:22] Both
    ...to the future!
[23:26] Voice
    Nanase remains in the lead at the turn!
[23:29] Voice
    He's setting an excellent pace!
[23:32] Voice
    Yes, if he keeps this up, a
    new tournament record is...
