**[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.

Rin, aren't you leaving?
**[04:11] Rin**
I'm gonna swim a little longer.
**[04:12] David**
Okay, have fun.
**[04:15] Rin**
Thanks. See you tomorrow.
***SIGN*** Rin-senpai Pyunsuke!!!
***SIGN*** Just woke up from hibernation!
**[04:26] Rin**
Those guys never change.
***SIGN*** Hidaka University
**[04:51] Asahi**
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!
***SIGN*** Hayafune Romio Best Stroke: Freestyle
**[10:29] Nagisa**
We'll start with Romi-chan.
**[10:32] Nagisa**
Smile big!
***SIGN*** Isurugi Shizuru Can swim any stroke!!
**[10:34] Nagisa**
You're next, Shizu-chan!
**[10:36] Rei**
Come on! Don't stiffen up!
***SIGN*** Kunikida Ayumu Manager
**[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...
**[16:04] (Flashback) Makoto**
Ikuya!
**[16:10] (Flashback) All**
Haru!
***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.
**[17:04] Sousuke**
Thank you.
***SIGN*** Restaurant Ichiyama
***SIGN*** Dear Rin,
**[17:14] Kazu**
It's me.
**[17:15] Kazu**
Hungry, Sousuke?
**[17:17] Kazu**
Today's employee dinner.
**[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
when I try to write letters.
**[17:29] Kazu**
True. I suck at it, too.
***SIGN*** Dear Rin,
***SIGN*** Certain Victory
**[17:34] Kazu**
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,
**[19:02] Nitori**
maybe they'll meet up
at the tournament today!

Let's see...
**[19:24] Makoto**
This must be it.
**[19:27] Makoto**
Hey, Kisumi?
**[19:28] Kisumi**
Makoto, what are you doing?
**[19:30] Makoto**
Sorry... My train was delayed.
**[19:33] Makoto**
Hurry up! Haru and Asahi's
race is about to start!
**[19:37] Makoto**
Right... Where are you?
**[19:40] Kisumi**
In the audience.
**[19:41] Kisumi**
I'm in the middle of the second level,
**[19:43] Kisumi**
so if you head upstairs, you'll see me.
**[19:45] Makoto**
Got it.
**[19:49] Asahi**
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,
**[20:35] Makoto**
so no matter how good their time is, there's
no guarantee they'll go to the All-Japan.
**[20:40] Makoto**
Still,
**[20:41] Makoto**
this is their first competition
as college swimmers.
**[20:44] Makoto**
It's an important debut
for both Haru and Asahi.
**[20:48] Voice**
Take your marks.
**[20:56] Kisumi**
Asahi!
**[20:57] Makoto**
Haru!
**[21:00] Kisumi**
They're both so fast!
**[21:05] Kiryuu**
That Shiina guy is an amazing swimmer, too.
**[21:08] Unida**
What's up with Taka U's
first-years this year?!
**[21:11] Mikoshiba**
I can't afford to get lazy, either.
**[21:16] Makoto**
They're gaining even more speed!
**[21:23] Kisumi**
Amazing!
**[21:24] Kisumi**
They're way ahead!
**[21:28] Hiyori**
What's all that?
**[21:30] Hiyori**
They're just inferior copies of Ikuya.
**[21:39] Asahi**
Damn it!
**[21:41] Asahi**
I'll beat you next time for sure!
**[21:43] Haru**
I'll be sure to win next time, too.
**[21:45] Asahi**
What the hell makes you so confident?!
**[21:47] Asahi**
You seriously haven't changed at all!
**[21:55] Asahi**
Huh?
**[21:57] Asahi**
What is it, Haru?
**[22:01] Haru**
Ikuya?
**[22:03] Nagisa**
The cogs of fate are in motion at last!

And suddenly, a reunion!

And we tried so hard...
**[02:57] (Flashback) Ikuya**
It wasn't enough.
**[02:58] (Flashback) Ikuya**
More... We have to practice more!
**[03:02] (Flashback) Haru**
Yeah. Next time,

in next summer's tournament,
we'll win for sure.
**[03:07] (Flashback) Haru**
The four of us.
**[03:08] (Flashback) Asahi**
Yeah!
**[03:09] (Flashback) Asahi**
Let's start working for it
right now with a training camp!
**[03:13] (Flashback) Makoto**
Hang on, Asahi! Isn't it too soon for that?
**[03:16] (Flashback) Asahi**
What are you talking about, Makoto?!
**[03:18] (Flashback) Asahi**
I'm so pissed off, I wanna start
busting my butt right this minute!
**[03:25] (Flashback) Haru**
I... only swim free...

He even says it in his dreams.

All right! Let's invade Haru's dream!

Can't we just wake him up normally?

Quit it, Asahi!
**[03:44] (Flashback) Haru**
What are you doing?
**[03:47] (Flashback) Makoto**
Asahi said we should have a training camp.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Asahi**
Remember what we said after the tournament?
**[03:52] (Flashback) Asahi**
We're gonna camp here at
school, just the four of us!
**[03:55] (Flashback) Asahi**
I already submitted our request!
**[03:58] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I got my brother's permission, too.
**[04:16] (Flashback) Makoto**
Good swim, Haru.
**[04:19] (Flashback) Haru**
Thanks.
**[04:21] (Flashback) Makoto**
Look at that. It's Ikuya.
**[04:24] (Flashback) Haru**

Whoa! Ikuya's swimming freestyle?
**[04:29] (Flashback) Asahi**
Awesome!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Asahi**
All right! I'm not gonna fall behind!

I heard the four of them are
holding a training camp.
**[04:41] (Flashback) Natsuya**
Yeah, to prepare for next summer, they said.
**[04:45] (Flashback) Nao**
Little early for that, isn't it?
**[04:46] (Flashback) Natsuya**
Better than too late.
**[04:50] (Flashback) Nao**
Want to take them some snacks or something?
**[04:54] (Flashback) Natsuya**
We don't need to spoil them that much.
**[04:57] (Flashback) Guard**
All right, I'll be in the security room.
**[05:01] (Flashback) Makoto**
Thank you!
**[05:08] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Asahi, you're falling asleep.
**[05:10] (Flashback) Asahi**
I-I'm awake!
**[05:12] (Flashback) Makoto**
Come on, stay with it. We've barely started.
**[05:16] (Flashback) Haru**
We still have reflex training with karuta,
**[05:19] (Flashback) Haru**
then weight lifting before bed,
**[05:21] (Flashback) Haru**
and we're starting practice at sunrise.
**[05:23] (Flashback) Asahi**
Isn't that too intense?
**[05:25] (Flashback) Haru**
You're the one who planned this.
**[05:28] (Flashback) Haru**
This doesn't even make sense.

Next summer...
**[05:41] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Asahi, you'd better not transfer
away again after saying that.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Makoto**
That's right... You've moved around a
lot because of your dad's work, huh?
**[05:51] (Flashback) Asahi**
It'll be fine! I won't be moving again!

What about you?
**[07:09] (Flashback) Haru**
I came to get something I forgot.
**[07:14] (Flashback) Ikuya**
The stars.
**[07:17] (Flashback) Ikuya**
They said on the news that
there's a meteor shower tonight.
**[07:22] (Flashback) Haru**
Oh, yeah. I remember hearing about that.
**[07:25] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Have you ever wished on
a shooting star, Haru?
**[07:29] (Flashback) Haru**
No. You have to make your
wishes come true yourself.
**[07:35] (Flashback) Ikuya**
That's a very Haru thing to say.
**[07:36] (Flashback) Haru**
Ikuya...
**[07:38] (Flashback) Haru**
You were swimming freestyle today.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Yeah...
**[07:43] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I started thinking that I
want to swim freestyle, too.
**[07:47] (Flashback) Ikuya**
We lost the medley at the tournament,
**[07:51] (Flashback) Ikuya**
but your freestyle was incredible.
**[07:54] (Flashback) Ikuya**
You passed so many of those guys in no time.
**[07:58] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I want...
**[08:01] (Flashback) Ikuya**
to swim like you, Haru.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Haru**
But just copying my form won't do any good.
**[08:10] (Flashback) Haru**
You should swim freestyle your own way.
**[08:14] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Yeah... I know.
**[08:17] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I'll work hard and get a lot faster.
**[08:20] (Flashback) Ikuya**
So...
**[08:24] (Flashback) Ikuya**
So Haru, have a freestyle
race with me someday!
**[08:33] (Flashback) Haru**
Okay.
**[08:38] (Flashback) Haru**
The meteor shower...
**[08:47] (Flashback) Haru**
What did you wish for?
**[08:54] (Flashback) Ikuya**
It's a secret.
**[08:59] Asahi**
Find him?
**[09:00] Haru**
He's not in here.
**[09:02] Asahi**
Maybe it wasn't actually him?
**[09:04] Haru**
No, that was definitely Ikuya.
**[09:09] Kisumi**
Haru and Asahi still aren't back.
**[09:12] Makoto**
I wonder if something happened...
**[09:16] Kisumi**
What's up?
**[09:17] Makoto**
A text from Nagisa...
***SIGN*** Iku-chan, a guy who swam a relay with Mako-chan and Haru-chan in middle school, might be at the newcomer tournament! Sou-chan said he saw him swim at a tournament last summer.
**[09:20] Makoto**
Ikuya's still swimming?
***SIGN*** Iku-chan
**[09:23] Makoto**
And he might be at this tournament!
**[09:26] Kisumi**
What? Ikuya?
**[09:29] Nagisa**
I wonder if Haru-chan and
Mako-chan got to see Iku-chan.
**[09:32] Ayumu**
Um, is Haruka-senpai...
**[09:35] Ayumu**
the one who was riding a camel
in the recruiting video?
**[09:39] Nagisa**
That's right!
**[09:40] Nagisa**
He was playing a mysterious peddler
riding a camel named Chappy!
**[09:43] Shizuru**
That's so cool!
**[09:44] Rei**
He's working hard at a
university in Tokyo now.
**[09:48] Romio**
Tokyo? That takes me back!
**[09:51] Gou**
You transferred here from
Tokyo, didn't you, Romio-kun?
**[09:54] Romio**
I did!
**[09:56] Romio**
I was born in New York, but
Tokyo is my second home!
**[10:00] Shizuru**
When do we get to ride Chappy the camel?
**[10:03] Rei**
Chappy is a great goal, but the
summer tournament comes first.
**[10:06] Nagisa**
That's right! The nationals
are in Tokyo this year,
**[10:09] Nagisa**
so if we make it there, you'll get
to meet Haru-chan and Mako-chan!
**[10:13] Ayumu**
If you guys go to the All-Japan Invitational,
**[10:17] Ayumu**
couldn't you swim with
Haruka-senpai again there?
**[10:21] Romio**
All-Japan Invitational?
**[10:22] Ayumu**
Yes, the All-Japan Invitational
doesn't have age restrictions,
**[10:27] Ayumu**
so even high school students can participate,
as long as they beat the qualifying time.
**[10:34] Rei**
Well, dreams have a way of growing bigger,
**[10:37] Rei**
but a journey of a thousand
miles begins with a single step.

He's not swimming in relays anymore?
**[11:05] Makoto**

That nickname is taboo

Just be happy to have a nickname!
**[12:25] Asahi**
I only have the nickname I gave
myself, the Marlin of Genkainada,
**[12:28] Asahi**
and nobody uses it!
**[12:30] Terashima**
Wow, what a loser.
**[12:32] Asahi**
What did you just say?
**[12:34] Terashima**
Who would give themselves
a nickname like that?
**[12:37] Makoto**
Asahi, cool it! We didn't
come here to fight with them!
**[12:40] Haruka**
So Kirishima Ikuya isn't here?
**[12:42] Hiyori**
No, he's not.
**[12:44] Hiyori**
You don't see him, do you?
**[12:47] Hiyori**
Look, the next race is about to start.
**[12:50] Hiyori**
Shouldn't you go back to your
own seats to cheer them on?

**[14:23] (Flashback) Haru**
Yeah.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Oh...
**[14:27] (Flashback) Natsuya**
Look, this happened because you pushed
yourself too hard to swim with no breaks!
**[14:32] (Flashback) Natsuya**
A few seconds more, and you could have died!
**[14:35] (Flashback) Nao**
Natsuya, don't be so hard on him.

Never do anything that reckless again!
**[14:54] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I'm sorry the team wasn't able
to practice because of me.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Haru**
It's okay.
**[15:00] (Flashback) Ikuya**
But we won't get to swim any more this year.
**[15:03] (Flashback) Haru**
It just means our team's goal
is on hold until next summer.

Next summer...
**[15:10] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I swear I'll get stronger.

to compete against you.

Promise you'll race me
in freestyle next summer.

Okay.

**[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
***SIGN*** If your beverage falls vertically, turn it to the left or right to take it out.
**[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...
**[21:05] Haru**
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.
**[21:57] Natsuya**
I just now arrived in Sydney.
**[22:03] Nagisa**
I wonder how Rin-chan's doing.

**[00:30] Ikuya**

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.
**[00:39] Hiyori**
I hope not.
**[00:42] Hiyori**
You know, after all that
happened yesterday...
**[00:45] Hiyori**
That teammate of yours from middle school...
**[00:47] ---**
Nanase-kun, was it?
**[00:49] Ikuya**
Just forget about that.
**[00:51] ---**
I'm fine.
**[00:52] Ikuya**
I need to get ready, all right?
**[00:54] ---**
See you later.

**[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.
**[11:33] Natsuya**
Sorry...
**[11:36] Natsuya**
This is my hotel. Thanks.
**[11:39] Natsuya**
Hey, what's up?
**[11:41] Rin**
Nothing.
**[11:43] Rin**
Just that I've stayed here before, too.
**[11:49] Rin**
Jeez, talk about a high-maintenance senpai...
***SIGN*** Nanase Haruka
**[12:04] Rin**
I'll save it for next time I see him.
**[12:10] Makoto**
Sorry I'm so late.
**[12:13] Makoto**
Hey, where's Kisumi?
**[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**
You don't know that.
**[14:44] Mikhail**
That's some confidence.
**[14:46] Natsuya**

A priceless photo book coveted
by all muscle maniacs!
**[15:04] Rin**
I think my sister has that.
**[15:07] Mikhail**
Really, Rin-kun?!
**[15:09] ---**
You've gotta introduce me to your sister!
**[15:12] Ayumu**
Is something wrong?
**[15:13] Gou**
I just had a really bad feeling...
**[15:16] Gou**
Ayumu-chan!
**[15:18] Gou**
If anything happens to me, you
have to protect this photo book!
**[15:22] Ayumu**
I can't promise anything.

**[15:25] Kisumi**
I'm here.
**[15:27] Asahi**
Don't give us that!
**[15:29] Asahi**
You didn't call or anything.
**[15:32] ---**
What have you been doing?
**[15:34] Kisumi**
Gathering information.
**[15:36] Kisumi**
I just recently became friends
with a senpai whose boyfriend
**[15:39] ---**
is in Shimo U's swim club.
**[15:41] Asahi**
For real?!
**[15:41] Kisumi**
Yep.
**[15:42] Kisumi**
And according to the info
I got from that senpai...
**[15:46] Kisumi**
This is X Day!
***SIGN*** Evening Running Lecture 12
***SIGN*** Fri.
**[15:49] Asahi**
X Day?
**[15:50] Kisumi**
It's the day he doesn't
have swimming practice.
**[15:52] Kisumi**
That's the day you should go see him.
**[15:55] Makoto**
We should? What about you?
**[15:58] Kisumi**
Oh, I'm meeting up with
another club that day...
**[16:01] Asahi**
Damn it, Kisumi! Which is more important,
your friends or your clubs?!
**[16:04] Kisumi**
They're both important!
**[16:05] Asahi**
Friendship, right?!
**[16:07] Natsuya**
Sorry to drag you out every night.
**[16:09] Rin**
If that's how you feel, why
don't you cover my dinner?
**[16:12] Natsuya**
I have a policy against
spoiling younger guys.
**[16:15] Natsuya**
You pay for your own food.

***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!
**[19:57] Natsuya**
I only have the hotel until next week.
**[20:09] ---**
Take your marks.
**[20:20] Natsuya**
* Trying to use your prized leg*
* strength to break away?*
**[20:23] Natsuya**
*Interesting!*
**[20:33] Rin**
*He's beside me?!*
**[20:34] Natsuya**
*The fun is yet to come!*
**[20:40] Rin**
*Damn, he's powerful!*
**[20:51] Natsuya**
Huh?
**[20:53] Natsuya**
Oh, come on!
**[20:55] ---**
It wasn't supposed to rain until morning!
**[20:58] Natsuya**
I guess we'll have to
save our race for later.
**[21:00] Rin**
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
what mattered most to him wasn't here.
**[21:45] Rin**
You could tell?
**[21:47] Mikhail**
I knew someone a long time
ago who was the same way.

See? Kisumi told us they weren't
practicing today, didn't he?
**[02:15] Haru**
So Kisumi was actually right?
**[02:17] Asahi**
You didn't believe him?!
**[02:20] Makoto**
At this time of day, he
might still be in class.
**[02:23] Haru**
Which department is Ikuya in?
**[02:27] Asahi**
Damn it! I didn't ask!
**[02:29] Makoto**
Asahi!
**[02:31] Kisumi**
How's it going? Did you see Ikuya?
**[02:33] Asahi**
Not yet! What department is he in, anyway?
**[02:36] Kisumi**
Senpai didn't tell me that...
**[02:38] Asahi**
Well, go ask now!
**[02:41] Asahi**
Ask whoever you know that
has a boyfriend at Shimo U!
**[02:44] Kisumi**
I might not be able to...
**[02:46] Kisumi**
She has plans to see a movie
with her boyfriend today.
**[02:51] Kisumi**
The one called *Life of a Mouse 2*.
**[02:53] Asahi**
Seriously?
**[02:55] Makoto**
I guess we'll just have
to look for him ourselves.
**[02:59] Asahi**
Are we gonna find him by
just wandering around?
**[03:06] Terashima**
Hey! You're—
**[03:07] Asahi**
Archerfish of Naruto!
**[03:09] Terashima**
Don't call me that!
**[03:10] Haru**
Drop it, Asahi. You too, Archerfish.
**[03:14] Haru**
We're here to see Kirishima Ikuya.
**[03:16] Terashima**
Well, we don't have practice today.
**[03:18] Terashima**
I'm on my way to see a

That aside...
**[03:47] Terashima**
Don't put that aside!
**[03:48] Haru**
Do you know where Ikuya is now?
**[03:51] Terashima**
And why should I have to tell you?
**[03:54] Asahi**
Don't be like that.
**[03:56] Asahi**
I might even tell my friend
to have your girlfriend say,
**[03:58] Asahi**
"Terashima is so amazing!"
**[04:00] Asahi**
If you help us out, that is.
**[04:08] Ikuya**
Something wrong?
**[04:09] Hiyori**
Nah, I just remembered
something I need to do.
**[04:12] Hiyori**
Go on to the pool without me, would you?
**[04:13] Ikuya**
Okay.
**[04:15] Ikuya**
I'll be swimming, then.
**[04:16] Hiyori**
Sure.
**[04:17] Hiyori**
I'll be there soon.
**[04:21] Asahi**
Nobody in there...
**[04:22] Makoto**
Maybe they all left already.
**[04:25] Hiyori**
What are you guys doing here?
**[04:29] Asahi**
We're just here to see an old
friend from middle school.
**[04:32] Hiyori**
This again?
**[04:33] Hiyori**
Ikuya doesn't have time to
waste looking back on the past.
**[04:38] Asahi**
What did you—
**[04:38] Haru**
Asahi.
**[04:40] Hiyori**
Nanase-kun, wasn't it?
**[04:43] Hiyori**
Didn't I tell you last time
that Ikuya's a busy guy?
**[04:47] Haru**
There's no practice today, right?
**[04:49] Hiyori**
There's no practice, but
he's training on his own.
**[04:51] Hiyori**
I wish you wouldn't bother him.
**[04:53] Makoto**
We won't do anything to
interfere with his training.
**[04:56] Makoto**
We just want to talk to him a little.
**[05:01] Hiyori**
If you really have to, can you wait
until after he's done training?
**[05:05] Hiyori**
He should be done in about two hours.
**[05:09] Asahi**
Ugh!
**[05:10] Asahi**
That guy just gives me bad vibes.
**[05:13] Makoto**
Oh, come on...
**[05:14] Makoto**
It sounds like we'll get
to see Ikuya, though.
**[05:17] Asahi**
What're you gonna do when we see him?
**[05:19] Makoto**
Well, I think we should
apologize first, and then...
**[05:23] Asahi**
And then?
**[05:25] Haru**
I want to talk to him about the summer
training camp we had in middle school.
**[05:28] Asahi**
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that!
**[05:31] Makoto**
You were the one who suggested it.
**[05:34] Haru**
I talked one-on-one with Ikuya that night.
**[05:38] Haru**
He said he wanted to race me
in freestyle the next summer.
**[05:42] Haru**
Then he made a wish on a shooting star.
**[05:47] Makoto**
I never knew that happened.
**[05:50] Asahi**
I wonder what he wished for...
**[05:52] Higashi**
I want a pork cutlet bowl.
**[05:53] Asahi**
Huh?
**[05:54] Higashi**
But this cafeteria's pork cutlet bowls suck.
**[06:01] Haru**
The mackerel's good.
**[06:02] Higashi**
I hate mackerel.
**[06:05] Higashi**
Yo. We meet again.
**[06:07] Makoto**
You're the guy from...
**[06:08] Higashi**
Since you're all here, I'll honor
the occasion by telling you this...
**[06:13] Makoto**
The best meal this cafeteria
has is the kitsune udon.
**[06:17] Makoto**
Huh?
**[06:18] Makoto**
Um...
**[06:21] Higashi**
Sorry to interrupt.
**[06:23] Asahi**
Who's he?
**[06:24] Makoto**
He doesn't look like a student...
**[06:47] Ikuya**
*Damn it!*
**[06:48] Ikuya**
*I thought I'd gotten over it...*
**[06:54] Ikuya**
*This again...*
**[06:56] Ikuya**
*I guess...*
**[06:58] ---**
*I'm just...*
**[07:00] GuyA**
Hey, Kirishima?!
**[07:01] GuyB**
Did he just sink?!
**[07:02] Hiyori**
Ikuya!
**[07:11] Hiyori**
Ikuya!
**[07:12] Hiyori**
Are you all right?!
**[07:13] Ikuya**
I'm fine.
**[07:15] Ikuya**
I'm fine, okay?
**[07:20] Makoto**
Isn't it still a little early?
**[07:22] Asahi**
Beats being late.
**[07:24] Asahi**
That guy might try to get in our way again.
**[07:29] Haru**
He's not here.
**[07:30] Asahi**
Are you serious?! Did that guy lie to—
**[07:32] Hiyori**
Now, that's rude.
**[07:34] Hiyori**
I didn't lie to you.
**[07:39] Haru**
We waited, like we promised.
**[07:41] Haru**
Let us see Ikuya.
**[07:43] Hiyori**
Ikuya left already.
**[07:45] Hiyori**
He wasn't feeling well,
so he cut his practice short.
**[07:50] Asahi**
Is that true?
**[07:52] Hiyori**
Why would I lie about that?
**[07:54] Makoto**
Then we'll go check in on him.
**[07:57] Makoto**
Could you get in touch with him for us?
**[07:59] Hiyori**
Check in on him?
**[08:01] ---**
Could you just mind your own business?
**[08:03] Asahi**
Worrying about our friend *is* our business!
**[08:06] Hiyori**
This is an extremely
important time for Ikuya.
**[08:10] Hiyori**
You guys are athletes, too.
You should understand.
**[08:14] Asahi**
Sure, we understand, but do
you have to put it that way?
**[08:17] Makoto**
Asahi, don't.
**[08:18] Hiyori**
Sorry. I'm not trying to be mean.
**[08:21] Asahi**
Just what are you to Ikuya?
**[08:26] Hiyori**
I'm his best friend.
**[08:28] Hiyori**
Oh, right. I haven't introduced
myself yet, have I?
**[08:33] Hiyori**
I'm Toono Hiyori.
**[08:35] Hiyori**
I became friends with Ikuya while
we were studying abroad in America.
**[08:40] Hiyori**
His brother, Natsuya-kun, entrusted me to
**[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!
**[09:44] Hiyori**
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.
**[10:06] Asahi**
You little—
**[10:07] Haru**
Why don't we race, then?
**[10:08] Makoto**
Haru!
**[10:09] Hiyori**
Good idea! A race!
**[10:11] Hiyori**
With the right to be Ikuya's
friend on the line!
**[10:14] Hiyori**
Oh, but I specialize in the backstroke.
**[10:18] Hiyori**
And Nanase-kun... you only
swim free, am I right?
**[10:22] Hiyori**
That's fine, though.
I can swim freestyle, too.
**[10:25] Hiyori**
What do you say? Want to race?
**[10:29] Makoto**
If you want it to be
backstroke, I'll race you.
**[10:32] Haru**
Makoto...
**[10:33] Makoto**
It's okay, Haru.
**[10:36] Makoto**
I'll do it.
**[10:38] Hiyori**
You're Tachibana-kun, right?
**[10:41] Hiyori**
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**

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.

His coach had suddenly quit,
**[18:37] Makoto**
so Haru and I gave him some
swimming guidance for a while.
**[18:41] Haru**
I guess they still haven't found a new coach.
**[18:45] Makoto**
I hope he'll be able to laugh with
his rival when he sees him again.
**[18:51] Haru**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Kirishima
***SIGN*** Want to go out to eat today? I want to talk about the new training regimen, too.
***SIGN*** Kirishima
***SIGN*** Sorry. There's something I have to take care of today.
**[19:14] Hiyori**
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?
**[21:54] Makoto**
Haru...
**[22:00] Haru**
I...
**[22:04] Rei**
At last, it's our turn!
**[22:06] Nagisa**

**[00:01] Nagisa**
Wow, the scenery's great, Romi-chan!
**[00:04] Romio**
It really is!
**[00:06] Nagisa**
Look at that weird-shaped rock!
**[00:08] Romio**
Where?
**[00:10] Nagisa**
Over there!
**[00:11] Romio**
Oh, I see it! That really is weird!
**[00:14] Nagisa**
Right?
**[00:16] Nagisa**
Isn't this fun, Romi-chan?
**[00:18] Romio**
Yeah!
**[00:21] Romio**
It's like the roller coasters in Florida!
**[00:24] Nagisa**
Hey, Goro-chan, how much longer?
**[00:27] Goro**
Another hour or so.
**[00:29] Goro**
Hey, Amakata-sensei, I could
take over driving now...
**[00:33] Amakata**
Oh, don't worry about me!
**[00:35] Amakata**
I don't get to drive big cars
often, so it's a nice change!

Yes, I'm fine, but...
**[00:46] Gou**
Rei-kun, you're drenched in sweat!
**[00:48] Rei**
Don't worry about me...
**[00:49] Nagisa**
You okay, Rei-chan?
**[00:51] Rei**
It's nothing.
**[00:53] Goro**
Don't try to be tough.

Shizuru-kun, are you o—

He's unconscious.

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!
**[04:33] Nitori**
Momo-kun! We're in the middle of practice!
**[04:35] Momo**
Y-You've got it all wrong!
**[04:37] Natsuya**
If you want a contest that bad,
**[04:39] Natsuya**
compete against me, Aoba.
**[04:41] Usami**
Natsuya-san?!
**[04:43] Natsuya**
Sorry, you guys.
**[04:46] Nitori**
Oh, it's all right.
**[04:47] Natsuya**
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.
**[05:51] Nagisa**
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**
I didn't swim enough, so I'll
stay behind and practice!
**[06:24] Rei**
Okay, then.
**[06:25] Rei**
Just be careful you don't overdo it.
**[06:28] Romio**
I will!
**[06:29] Nagisa**
Hey, no fair, Romi-chan!
**[06:32] Nagisa**
I'm gonna swim, too!
**[06:37] Rei**
All right.
**[06:39] Shizuru**
Um...
**[06:40] Rei**
Shizuru-kun, why don't you
and I go on a shopping run?
**[06:43] Shizuru**
Uh... Sure.
**[06:49] Nagisa**
Okay, I reserved one lane.
**[06:52] Nagisa**
You can start off at your own pace,
**[06:54] Nagisa**
then try to be conscious
of your form as you swim.
**[06:56] Romio**
R-Right.
**[07:18] Nagisa**
Romi-chan?
**[07:19] Nagisa**
Just start whenever you're ready.

Romio-kun seemed a bit down.

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?
**[09:07] Gou**
Yeah! That's what secret
spices will do for you!
**[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!
**[10:36] Ayumu**
Please tell me all about it!
**[10:38] Romio**
The chef there prepares the
curry with a gas mask on!
**[10:42] Gou**
A gas mask?!
**[10:44] Romio**
I went there with my family, just once!

**[10:47] Nitori**
So as for the last day of the camp,
**[10:50] Nitori**
why don't we have time trials
for each of the four strokes?
**[10:54] SFKCaptain**
Good idea.
**[10:55] Uozumi**
But the last day should be special.
**[10:57] Uozumi**
Isn't there anything more unique we can do?
**[11:00] Nitori**
What do you think, Iwatobi?
**[11:02] Rei**
Sure.

Actually, we of Iwatobi have
a plan we'd like to propose.

All right, everyone, meet your new coach.

I'm Tachibana Makoto.
**[11:18] Makoto**
It's nice to meet you all.
**[11:25] (Flashback) Hiyori**
Everyone who swims with you
ends up suffering somehow, huh?
**[11:39] (Flashback) Rin**
What about you?
**[11:42] (Flashback) Rin**
You don't want to reach the global level?
**[11:50] Natsuya**
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.
**[14:53] Gou**
A medley relay!
**[14:55] Shizuru**
D-Does that include us?
**[14:57] Rei**
Of course.
**[14:58] Romio**
Huh?!
**[14:59] Nagisa**
Shizu-chan, you'll do backstroke.
Romi-chan, you'll do freestyle.
**[15:03] Shizuru**
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.
**[15:16] ---**
Let's have fun with it!
**[15:18] Romio**
But...
**[15:20] Romio**
I don't think I can...
**[15:23] Romio**
I've never done a relay before, and...
**[15:26] Romio**
starting is...
**[15:28] Gou**
Romio-kun...
**[15:32] Rei**
Romio-kun, don't try to
carry this on your own.
**[15:37] Rei**
You're not alone.
**[15:40] Rei**
We're a team.
**[15:41] ---**
We all swim toward the same goal.
**[15:46] Nagisa**
So tomorrow, just trust us, your teammates,
**[15:50] Nagisa**
and dive in with all you've
got, okay, Romi-chan?
**[15:56] Romio**
Teammates...
**[16:00] SFKCaptain**
Don't get lazy, guys!
**[16:02] SFK**
Right!
**[16:03] Momo**
If we're gonna do this, we've gotta win!
**[16:06] Goro**
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!
**[16:30] Nagisa**
We jumped in without any
preparation then, too.
**[16:33] Rei**
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...
**[16:42] Rei**
But the burning emotion I felt
when I swam with all of them
**[16:47] Rei**
still lives on, right here.
**[16:51] Rei**
And now, it's my confidence.
**[16:57] Nagisa**
Yep! So let's enjoy today's relay
in a way that only our team can!
**[17:03] All**
Yeah!
**[17:04] Rei**
Well, let's go!
**[17:09] Usami**
If you want out, now's your chance.
**[17:12] Momo**
I was gonna say the same to you!
**[17:18] Guy**
Take your marks.
**[17:22] All**
Go!
**[17:23] Nagisa**
Go, Shizu-chan!

**[18:03] Rei**

**[18:12] Nagisa**

**[18:18] Shizuru**
Nice hand-off.
**[18:22] (Flashback) Sousuke**
Envision what happens after you dive in.
**[18:24] Romio**
*After I dive in...*
**[18:26] (Flashback) Rei**
We all swim toward the same goal.

**[18:53] Romio**
*Right now...*
**[18:55] (Flashback) Rei**
It's my confidence.
**[18:58] Romio**
*...it can only be this!*
**[19:01] Sousuke**
No. Not yet.
**[19:12] Rei**
Romio-kun!
**[19:12] Nagisa**
Romi-chan!
**[19:13] Shizuru**
Romio!
**[19:14] Gou**
He did it!
**[19:15] Ayumu**
Clean start!
**[19:24] Momo**
All right!

Did you see the power of Samezuka?!
**[19:29] Usami**
Hmph! We won't lose next time!
**[19:31] Uozumi**
It was a good race.
**[19:33] Nitori**
Yeah, it really was.
**[19:34] Nagisa**
Way to go, Romi-chan!
**[19:36] Romio**
Nagisa-senpai?
**[19:37] Shizuru**
You dove in well.
**[19:39] Rei**
You did perfectly!
**[19:42] Romio**
But we lost.
**[19:44] Nagisa**
No, that hand-off was great!
**[19:47] Rei**
It was!
**[19:48] Shizuru**
Romio...
**[19:48] Shizuru**
You did so well...
**[19:50] Romio**
Shizuru?!
**[19:51] Romio**
What are you crying for?
**[19:54] Nagisa**
You're so sweet, Shizu-chan!
**[19:56] Rei**
You did great yourself, Shizuru-kun!
**[19:58] Sousuke**
See? You can do it.
**[20:03] Romio**
I felt myself getting fired up, too...
**[20:05] Romio**
But that just makes me
all the more frustrated!
**[20:09] Romio**
I want to win for sure next time!
**[20:10] Nagisa**
Yeah! Let's all work a lot harder!
**[20:13] Rei**
Yes, let's swim together.

**[20:25] Natsuya**
Have you made up your mind?
**[20:28] Sousuke**
No, I...
**[20:29] Natsuya**
Hey.
**[20:31] Natsuya**
Want to make a little bet?
**[20:34] Sousuke**
A bet?
**[20:35] Natsuya**
If you pick the hand with the coin in it,
**[20:39] Natsuya**
you'll believe in your
dream and move forward.
**[20:42] Natsuya**
No more hesitating.
**[20:45] Sousuke**
And if I pick the other one?
**[20:48] Natsuya**
Then you have to take a break.
**[20:51] Natsuya**
Taking the long way is necessary sometimes.
**[20:54] Natsuya**
Loosen up a little.
**[20:56] Natsuya**
Here goes.
**[21:01] Natsuya**
Pick one.
**[21:07] Sousuke**
The right.
**[21:10] Natsuya**
This is your choice?
**[21:18] Sousuke**
Actually, never mind.
I'll make my own decision.
**[21:23] Natsuya**
I see.
**[21:25] Natsuya**
Okay, then.

Hey, Toono.
**[04:08] Hoshikawa**
I see you're not all about the backstroke.
**[04:09] ---**
Your 50m freestyle has improved, too.
**[04:12] Hoshikawa**
So for the freestyle relay
in the next tournament—
**[04:13] Hiyori**
I'm sorry. I need some
time to think about it.
**[04:17] Hiyori**
Ikuya, wait!
**[04:23] Ikuya**
It's dumb to get like this just
because my time's a bit worse, right?
**[04:27] Ikuya**
I can't let this weakness show.
**[04:30] Ikuya**
I have to get stronger.
**[04:33] Hiyori**
He's still on your mind that much?
**[04:36] Hiyori**
And freestyle... You're struggling
in freestyle because...
**[04:45] Ikuya**
I told you about it before.
**[04:47] Ikuya**
In middle school, there was
an accident during practice,
**[04:51] Ikuya**
and it was Haru who saved me.
**[04:54] Ikuya**
But after that, Haru quit the swim club,
**[04:58] Ikuya**
and the team split up.
**[05:01] Ikuya**
I decided to continue swimming,
**[05:04] Ikuya**
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.

**[10:36] Nao**
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.
**[13:28] Higashi**
Didn't I tell you that I hate mackerel?
**[13:31] Higashi**
Listen up.
**[13:32] Higashi**
What I recommend here is the tanuki soba.
**[13:35] Asahi**
There's that guy again.
**[13:37] Asahi**
You think you're some kinda cafeteria critic?
**[13:39] Higashi**
Well, I do have a blog.
***SIGN*** Handed over the meal ticket. It took less than a minute. Tanuki soba is here! I was instantly captivated. The golden tag team of bonito and seaweed entwining around my tongue...
***SIGN*** Tanuki soba is here!
**[13:42] Asahi**
Uh, for real?
**[13:44] Higashi**
Yo, I asked you before if you
really only swim free, didn't I?
**[13:51] Higashi**
Do you have an answer yet?
**[13:56] Higashi**
Unless you find it yourself, your
potential will stay locked up forever.
**[14:03] Haruka**
Who are you, anyway?
**[14:05] Asahi**
You're not just some cafeteria critic.
**[14:08] Higashi**
Right now, all I want to do
is get my blog ranked higher.

Hey, Asahi-kun.

Oh, Kon-niichan!
**[14:23] Asahi**
This is my sister's husband, the
sports writer I told you about.
**[14:27] Kon**
I'm Kurimiya Kon.
**[14:30] Asahi**
Working?
**[14:31] Kon**
Yeah, sorta...
**[14:34] Kon**
Asahi-kun, you know Ryuuji-san?
**[14:37] Asahi**
Ryuuji? Who's that?
**[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."
**[14:56] Mikhail**
Which is your favorite, Rin-kun?
**[14:58] Rin**
Uh, I'm not particular...
**[14:59] Mikhail**
Rin-kun!
**[15:01] Mikhail**
"Those who laugh at muscle
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.
**[16:03] Natsuya**
Hey, it's been a while.
***SIGN*** Kirishima
**[16:05] Natsuya**
I'm actually back in Japan now.
**[16:08] Hiyori**
*Oh, I see...*
**[16:12] Natsuya**
How's Ikuya doing?
**[16:14] Hiyori**
*Huh?*
**[16:15] Natsuya**
I've tried to call, but I
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!
**[21:31] Ikuya**
Sorry.
**[21:40] Hiyori**
Ikuya...
**[21:47] Kon**
There. That's him.
**[22:04] Rei**

Thank you, coach!
**[00:07] Makoto**
Yep. Take care heading home.
**[00:10] Misaki**
Coach Tachibana...
**[00:12] Misaki**
Can I swim a little longer?
**[00:15] Makoto**
Of course.
**[00:16] Makoto**
I'll be here, too, so let me
know if you need anything.
**[00:19] Misaki**
Okay!
**[00:22] Higashi**
Kid's got some serious enthusiasm.
**[00:25] Higashi**
Yo. We meet again.
**[00:27] Makoto**
What are you doing here?
**[00:29] Haru**
I asked him to coach me.
**[00:31] Makoto**
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...
**[00:55] Higashi**
as long as it's not mackerel.
**[00:58] Haru**
Let's get started.
**[01:00] Higashi**
Right. No time to waste.

Everyone's too busy with practice
lately to hang out with me.
**[02:43] Kisumi**
And Makoto has his part-time gig...
**[02:45] Akane**
Oh, you poor baby.
**[02:47] Akane**
Well, college championships are coming up.
**[02:50] Akane**
And they won't qualify for

the All-Japan Invitational if they
don't beat the base time, right?
**[02:55] Kisumi**
Yeah, I doubt Haru will
have any trouble, but...
**[02:58] Akane**
That means the one to worry about is Asahi.
**[03:01] Akane**
Despite how he acts, he can
be a bit faint of heart.
**[03:07] Asahi**
Hey, Sis, I'm starving.
**[03:09] Asahi**
Get me something to eat.
**[03:11] Akane**
Speak of the devil...

Anyway, Sis, food!

Sorry, it looks like we're
short on supplies for dinner,

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?

Hey, cut that out.

**[03:46] Asahi**
That's a pretty good kick you've got...

Well, I'm on bike, so I'll be off.

Don't forget, you owe me some cafeteria soba.

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.
**[04:35] Hoshikawa**
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.
**[05:12] Sagae**
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
today, so I'm heading home.
**[05:28] Sagae**
Oh... Okay.
**[05:30] Sagae**
What about you, Kirishima?
**[05:31] Sagae**
Wanna go eat?
**[05:35] Sagae**
What's up with you guys?
**[05:36] ---**
Did you have a fight?
**[05:38] Ikuya**
Nothing like that.
**[05:40] Ikuya**
Sure, I'll go eat with you.
**[05:42] Sagae**
O-Okay...
**[05:43] Terashima**
Later, Toono.
**[05:44] Sagae**
See you tomorrow.
**[05:45] Hiyori**
Sure.
**[05:52] Hiyori**
I'm...
**[06:02] Hiyori**
Why?
**[06:04] Hiyori**
Why did it turn out like this?
**[06:08] Unida**
By the way, did you guys
get to see Kirishima Ikuya?
**[06:12] Asahi**
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.
**[08:31] Higashi**
That's my animal instinct talking.

Um...
**[08:36] Higashi**
Yes?

*Hello?*
**[08:53] Natsuya**
Hey, I finally got a hold of you.
**[08:55] Ikuya**
*What's up, bro?*
**[08:57] Natsuya**
Did you get my message? I'm back in Japan.
**[09:00] Natsuya**
I'm in Tokyo now. Want to meet for dinner?
**[09:03] Ikuya**
* I'll pass. The college*
* invitational is coming up.*
**[09:06] Natsuya**
You're no fun...
**[09:07] Natsuya**
*How's your condition?*
**[09:09] Ikuya**
I dunno.
**[09:10] Ikuya**
The usual. Nothing's changed.
**[09:13] Natsuya**
*Well, okay...*
**[09:15] Natsuya**
* But if you're not up to speed,*
* don't push yourself too hard.*
**[09:18] Natsuya**
* If you want to go global, it*
* doesn't have to be this year.*
**[09:21] Natsuya**
* You can always wait until*
* you're in top condition.*
**[09:25] Ikuya**
I know that.
**[09:27] Natsuya**
I'm coming to see you race,
even if you tell me not to.
**[09:30] Ikuya**
*Whether you're there or not,*
**[09:32] Ikuya**
*I'm going to win.*
**[09:35] Ikuya**
I have to win.
**[09:39] Natsuya**
*Ikuya,*
**[09:40] ---**
*are you sure you're doing okay?*
**[09:42] Ikuya**
I'm fine.
**[09:44] Ikuya**
I have an early start
tomorrow, so I've gotta go.

*I...*

*have to win.*
**[10:15] Nao**
Natsuya.
**[10:18] Nao**
Sorry. Did you wait long?
**[10:20] Natsuya**
Nah, just got here...
**[10:22] Natsuya**
as they say!
**[10:29] Nao**
It's really been a while, huh?
**[10:31] Natsuya**
Yeah.
**[10:32] Natsuya**
It's the first time I've seen you
since we reached drinking age.
**[10:35] Natsuya**
Oh, right...
**[10:37] Natsuya**
Souvenir from Sydney.
**[10:39] Nao**
Oh, black tea? Thanks.
**[10:44] Nao**
Natsuya... Have you seen Ikuya yet?
**[10:48] Natsuya**
No, not yet.
**[10:49] ---**
He said he's busy, with
the tournament coming up.
**[10:52] Nao**
Oh...
**[10:54] Natsuya**
Something wrong?
**[10:55] Nao**
I saw Haruka, Makoto,
and Asahi the other day.
**[10:59] Natsuya**
Yeah? Are they in Tokyo, too?
**[11:02] Nao**
Yeah.
**[11:03] Nao**
And they mentioned that
Ikuya wasn't in top form.
**[11:10] Natsuya**
I see...
**[11:12] Natsuya**
I knew he was acting weird.
**[11:15] Nao**
So what now?
**[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.
**[11:29] Natsuya**
It's true he's gone through a lot,
**[11:32] Natsuya**
but he is my kid brother, after all.
**[11:35] Natsuya**
I know he'll be okay.
**[11:38] Natsuya**
If anyone can go global one day, it's Ikuya.
**[11:44] Nao**
Natsuya...
**[11:47] Nao**
That all sounds impressive,
**[11:49] Nao**
but maybe it's time you took
a serious approach yourself.
**[11:53] Nao**
Both to swimming, and to Ikuya.

Ikuya will be swimming today, right?
**[13:15] Makoto**
I think so.
**[13:17] Kisumi**
I hope you guys can work
things out with him today.
**[13:19] Makoto**
I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[13:21] Makoto**
Haru and Asahi will be there,

Just have faith and keep an eye on us.

All right, then...

We're off to see the college championships!

This will be the first major
competition for you first-years.
**[13:46] Coach**
It's also the first round of competition
for the All-Japan Invitational.

**[14:19] Natsuya**
Yo. Been a long time.
**[14:23] Asahi**
N-Natsuya-senpai?!
**[14:26] Natsuya**
What kind of reaction is
that? Talk about rude.
**[14:28] Asahi**
S-Sorry! It's good to see you again!
**[14:30] Haru**
It's been a long time.
**[14:32] Natsuya**
Hey, no need to tighten up like that.
**[14:34] Natsuya**
How've you been?
**[14:36] Haru**
Fine.
**[14:37] Asahi**
Not too bad.
**[14:40] Haru**
Natsuya-senpai...
**[14:42] Haru**
Ikuya isn't at his best right now...
**[14:45] Haru**
And I...
**[14:47] Natsuya**
I know. You don't have to say anything.
**[14:51] Natsuya**
Just do what the two of you can
do, to the best of your ability.

**[15:17] Kisumi**
They look way more enthusiastic
than the newcomer tournament crowd.
**[15:20] Makoto**

**[15:23] Makoto**
It's finally starting.
**[15:26] Nagisa**
So, Haru-chan and the other guys have
their college championships today.
**[15:30] Rei**
If they beat the base time, they'll
make it to the All-Japan Invitational.
**[15:35] Gou**
I'm sure Haruka-senpai
won't have any trouble!
**[15:38] Nagisa**
By the way, Rin-chan isn't
coming back to compete?
**[15:41] Gou**
He's enrolled in a school in Sydney now,
**[15:44] Gou**
so he can't participate in a
Japanese championship tournament.
**[15:47] Rei**
Then, the All-Japan Invitational...
**[15:50] Gou**
That one is still okay!
**[15:52] Gou**
He just needs to beat the base
time in Australia's tournament.
**[15:55] Gou**
Also... Ta-da!
**[15:58] Gou**
He just sent this.

Not bad, I guess.
**[19:12] Asahi**
There was so much I wanted to tell you.

I saw Natsuya-senpai in the arena, too.
**[19:20] Ikuya**
I see.
**[19:22] Ikuya**
I haven't seen him in a while.

I haven't put up any results I can

Ikuya, are you okay?

Haru and Makoto have been

We even went to your college
campus to try to see you.

But that four-eyed jerk
kept getting in the way.

What's that guy's deal?

Hiyori isn't really a bad guy.
**[19:46] Ikuya**
I think he's nice, deep down.
**[19:48] Asahi**
Sorry. I didn't mean to badmouth your friend.
**[19:52] Ikuya**
I don't know if he's my friend.
**[19:54] Asahi**
Huh?
**[19:55] Ikuya**
I can't really tell anymore.
**[19:58] Ikuya**
When I was in America, I hit a wall,
**[20:01] Ikuya**
and it made me see a weakness in myself
**[20:03] ---**
that I didn't notice when I swam on a team.
**[20:05] Ikuya**
Ever since then, instead
of depending on others,
**[20:09] Ikuya**
I've been swimming with the goal
of getting stronger on my own.
**[20:13] Ikuya**
So I'm not really sure what friends
and teammates are to me anymore...
**[20:18] Asahi**
Sorry.
**[20:20] Asahi**
In middle school, my dad
suddenly got transferred,
**[20:25] Asahi**
so while you were in America over
spring break, I had to move away.
**[20:30] Asahi**
I always wanted to apologize.
**[20:31] Ikuya**
It's okay. That didn't bother me.
**[20:34] Asahi**
But I'll always think of you as a friend!
**[20:39] Asahi**
I believe in the bond we all had.
**[20:43] Asahi**
I know Haru and Makoto
feel the same way, so...
**[20:48] Ikuya**
Thanks.
**[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**

This was the only way I could swim with you.

* 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.
**[03:15] Voice**
*The third heat of the men's 200m
individual medley will now begin.*

**[03:20] Nao**
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.
***SIGN*** Unity
**[03:45] Mikoshiba**
You and Kirishima Ikuya were
buddies in middle school, right?
**[03:49] Asahi**
That's right.
**[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**
Both of you!
**[06:46] Asahi**
Go!
**[07:03] Asahi**
All right!
**[07:04] Suzuki**
No, it's not! Nanase lost!
**[07:07] Asahi**
Who cares about those little details?!
**[07:11] Ikuya**
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.
***SIGN*** Haru... Qualified for the All-Japan in the 100m and 200m freestyle.
**[12:06] Gou**
Ta-da!
**[12:08] Gou**
Haruka-senpai easily beat the
base time in the 100m freestyle!
**[12:13] Romio**
That means, in the next tournament...
**[12:16] Nagisa**
Haru-chan and Rin-chan will
finally face off again!
**[12:19] Gou**
He also says Haruka-senpai swam in the IM!
**[12:22] Nagisa**
What?! The Haru-chan who
says he only swims free...
**[12:25] Rei**
...swam in the IM?
**[12:28] Shizuru**
"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?!
**[12:41] Rei**
The freestyle relay is the highlight
of the college championships!
**[12:45] Nagisa**
It's being broadcast live, right?
**[12:48] Nagisa**
I wanna watch Haru-chan swim!
**[12:50] Romio**
I wanna watch, too!
**[12:53] Ayumu**
Leave that to me.
**[12:54] Ayumu**
I thought this might happen,
**[12:56] Ayumu**
so I've already reserved the A/V room.

Go, Kiryuu!
**[14:23] Ikuya**
Asahi, are you actually nervous?
**[14:26] Asahi**
Not a chance.
**[14:27] Asahi**
I bet you're freaking out, though, huh?
**[14:29] Ikuya**
I'm fine. I practiced telling
myself in the mirror,
**[14:33] Ikuya**
"I'm a genius. I'm a genius."
**[14:37] ---**
Familiar?
**[14:38] Asahi**
Wha... You jerk! Don't copy me!

Trust Ikuya.
**[15:09] Hiyori**
I don't need you to tell me.
**[15:11] Hiyori**
I do trust him.
**[15:17] Ikuya**
Hiyori!
**[15:22] Asahi**
Haru!
**[15:31] Hiyori**
*This is...*
**[15:33] Hiyori**
*what Ikuya felt in Nanase's freestyle.*
**[15:41] (Flashback) Makoto**
If you swam with Haru, you'd understand.
**[15:48] (Flashback) Makoto**
I think it would make it
easier for you to swim, too.
**[15:53] Hiyori**
*I can just be me in the water...*
**[15:58] Ikuya**
Hiyori!
**[16:01] Ikuya**
Hiyori!
**[16:07] Hiyori**
*I think I understand now...*
**[16:12] Hiyori**
*A little more about Nanase,*
**[16:13] Hiyori**
*and Ikuya, too.*
**[16:18] Terashima**
Toono's gaining speed!

In free, maybe.
**[16:51] Hiyori**
Ikuya...
**[16:56] Hiyori**
Hiyori, thanks for swimming with me.
**[17:04] Hiyori**
That's my line.
**[17:07] Hiyori**
Thanks!
**[17:14] Mikoshiba**
Way to go, Nanase!
**[17:16] Asahi**
That was so much fun!
**[17:18] Terashima**
That was some nice swimming, Toono!
**[17:20] Hoshikawa**
What do you two think now?
**[17:22] Hoshikawa**
Relays are pretty great, right?
**[17:29] Both**
Yeah!
**[17:30] Text/Voice**
*This concludes today's events.*
**[17:31] Kon**
Nanase-kun really is amazing.
**[17:34] Higashi**
I'd give him 70 points.
**[17:36] Kon**
Huh?
**[17:37] Higashi**
He has room for improvement.
**[17:40] Kon**
Are you saying he can transform even more?
**[17:42] Higashi**
We'll just have to look forward
to seeing what he transforms into.
**[17:51] Ikuya**
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.
**[19:05] Natsuya**
Hey.
**[19:07] Ikuya**
Bro...
**[19:08] Natsuya**
Nice job. Congratulations.
**[19:11] Ikuya**
Thanks.
**[19:14] Natsuya**
You've worked hard, Ikuya. Really hard.
**[19:19] Ikuya**
Yeah.
**[19:22] Natsuya**
I'm sorry, Ikuya.
**[19:25] Ikuya**
Why are you apologizing?
**[19:28] Natsuya**
You're right. I need to thank you.
**[19:31] Natsuya**
I have a new dream, thanks to you.
**[19:33] Ikuya**
Huh?
**[19:34] Natsuya**
A dream to take on the
world with you someday.
**[19:38] Natsuya**
Not for prize money, either.
**[19:42] Natsuya**
It's just...
**[19:43] Natsuya**
a dream to fight for my strength
and pride, plain and simple.
**[19:47] Natsuya**
A dream to be number one in the world.
**[19:49] Ikuya**
Bro...
**[19:51] 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.
**[20:57] Hiyori**
Just thinking that I only ever
saw one side of Ikuya... Um...
**[21:02] Kisumi**
Oh, I'm Shigino Kisumi.
**[21:04] ---**
Hey, want to join my basketball club?
**[21:09] Hiyori**
I'll think about it.
**[21:12] Makoto**
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?
**[21:31] Asahi**
Push-ups while standing on my
head and flutter kicking—
**[21:34] Ikuya**
That's not even possible, you idiot.
**[21:37] Asahi**
Hey! Let me finish!
**[21:39] Makoto**
Come on, you two...
**[21:41] Ikuya**
You know, Asahi, you've always...
**[21:43] Asahi**
The past has nothing to do with today!

Seriously, Asahi...

Whoa, nice attack!
**[00:06] Guy**
He didn't stand a chance!
**[00:07] Guy**
He broke his guard with an overhead attack!
**[00:08] Isuzu**
Yes! Now!
**[00:14] Isuzu**
All right!
**[00:16] Guy**
You're still the best, Mikoshiba.
**[00:18] Isuzu**
Better believe it!
**[00:20] Isuzu**
Swimming and fighting games
are the two things I live for!
**[00:27] Isuzu**
Oh-ho? Who do we have now?
**[00:30] Isuzu**
Mikoshiba Isuzu will take good care of you.
**[00:37] Guy**
A foreigner?
**[00:38] Guy**
He's been playing the racing
games like a pro lately.
**[00:41] Guy**
Don't get too careless, Mikoshiba.
**[00:44] Isuzu**
Did you forget how much of my pocket
change I've sunk into this game?
**[00:49] Isuzu**
Don't underestimate me!
**[00:50] Isuzu**
Here we go, partner!
**[00:59] Guy**
He's blocking all your hits!
**[01:01] Guy**
That's nice maneuvering...
**[01:03] Isuzu**
He's just darting all over the place!
**[01:04] Isuzu**
Well, then, I'll just have
to finish this quick!
**[01:16] Isuzu**
No way!
**[01:27] Isuzu**
I-I'm just getting started!
**[01:29] Ralph**
Al, we gotta go.
**[01:32] Al**
Aw, man. It was just getting interesting.
**[01:36] Isuzu**
Hey, wait!
**[01:44] Isuzu**
I think...

I've seen him somewhere before...

Hey!
**[03:42] Asahi**
Ikuya!
**[03:44] Ikuya**
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!
**[05:12] Nao**
You don't want to go see him?
**[05:14] Natsuya**
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.
**[05:51] Natsuya**
The All-Japan Invitational
should be a good one.

That's him, right? The

**[06:01] Guy**
Yeah. Nanase Haruka, freestyle swimmer.
**[06:05] Mikoshiba**
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!
**[06:17] Mikoshiba**
That's typical you.

Mikoshiba, Nanase! Got a minute?

This is the Taka U High School swim team.

We're here to observe your

So his sister swims, too?

Yeah...

Nanase Haruka-san!
**[06:57] Isuzu**
I saw you swim in the college championships.
**[07:00] Isuzu**
Your swimming is amazing,
and so are your triceps!
**[07:04] Isuzu**
I aspire to swim just like you do!
**[07:07] Isuzu**
Please have a freestyle race with me!
**[07:11] Kiryuu**
Come on, Nanase. Race her.
**[07:14] Kiryuu**
I've never heard of a girl
challenging a guy, but still...

I can even beat the guys in my own club!
**[07:24] Isuzu**
So Nanase-san, please have a
freestyle race with me right n—

If you want a race that badly, I'll race you.
**[07:32] Isuzu**
Huh?!

How about 1500m freestyle? It'll be fun!
**[07:37] Isuzu**
Ugh, Nii-chan, you jerk!

Nanase-san! Please race me someday, okay?!

She's an interesting kid...

So, the regional tournament
finally starts tomorrow.

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!
**[12:28] Makoto**
Well, once again...
**[12:30] Makoto**
Congratulations, Ikuya, on beating the base
time in the 100m free and 100m breast!

Cheers!
**[12:35] All**
Cheers!
**[12:37] Ikuya**
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.
**[13:59] Ikuya**
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.

**[15:00] Nitori**
My uncle told me!
**[15:01] Uozumi**
Your uncle?
**[15:03] Nitori**
Yeah. Uncle Mikhail.

**[15:09] Uozumi**
What?! Are you serious?!
**[15:11] Misawa**
You're Russian, Nitori?!
**[15:13] 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...
**[15:35] Momo**
Hey, Rin-senpai!
**[15:37] ---**
We're gonna be in the regionals
for the medley relay!
**[15:40] Rin**
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!

**[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.
**[21:24] Guy**
Set!
**[21:28] Makoto**
Can I still make it?
**[21:42] Isuzu**
Nanase-san...
**[21:56] Makoto**
Haru...
**[21:58] ---**
lost?
**[22:04] Rei**
They all strive for their own
dreams, in their own places...
**[22:06] Nagisa**
And they'll all do it their own way.
**[22:09] Rei**

**[00:04] Makoto**
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
**[00:17] ---**
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
High School swim team, Mikoshiba Isuzu!
**[00:28] Isuzu**
You know my older brother!
**[00:30] Makoto**
Your older...
**[00:31] Makoto**
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?
**[01:04] Guy**
Closed practice is about to begin.
**[01:10] Makoto**
Haru...
***SIGN*** Episode 10: The Grab Start of Hope!
**[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.*
**[07:46] Makoto**
* But until the moment when the*
* winner and loser are determined,*
**[07:50] Makoto**
* all the athletes fight with*
* everything they've got.*
***SIGN*** Nagisa
***SIGN*** Nagisa
***SIGN*** Talking
**[08:06] Makoto**
What's up, Nagisa?
**[08:08] Nagisa**
*Doing okay, Mako-chan?*
**[08:09] Makoto**
Yep.
**[08:10] Nagisa**
*I have good news!*
**[08:12] Nagisa**
*Rei-chan's going to the nationals!*
**[08:15] Nagisa**
In the 100m butterfly!
**[08:16] Makoto**
*Wow, that's awesome! Congratulations!*
***SIGN*** Congrats on Making It to Nationals Rei-senpai and Nagisa-senpai!!
**[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!*
**[08:44] Makoto**
That's great! Congratulations!
I'll come cheer you on!
**[08:47] Nagisa**
* And Samezuka's having Ai-chan and*
* Momo-chan there for the medley.*
**[08:50] Nagisa**
* Ai-chan will be in the*
* 100m breaststroke, too.*
**[08:52] Makoto**
Oh, so you'll be up against Nitori-kun, huh?
**[08:56] Gou**
* Hey, Makoto-senpai! Onii-chan's*
* in Tokyo right now!*
**[09:00] Makoto**
Rin's here?
**[09:01] Gou**
Yeah! You should meet up
with him if you have time!
**[09:04] Makoto**
*I will. Thanks.*
**[09:06] Makoto**
*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.
**[17:58] Makoto**
* Something you can do other*
* than competing, huh?*

Thinking about swimming with him
again just made me tense up.
**[18:34] Makoto**
It's nice to have someone
who makes you feel that way.
**[18:37] Misaki**
Huh?
**[18:38] Makoto**
I've seen lots of relationships like that.
**[18:41] Makoto**
One side takes the rivalry seriously and
becomes obsessed with taking on the other.
**[18:46] Makoto**
Or they get separated from someone they thought they'd swim with forever,
**[18:50] Makoto**
and when they reunite, their
intense feelings end up clashing.
**[18:54] Makoto**
But every time, they were set free
when they finally swam together.
**[19:03] Makoto**
I'm sure swimming with Natsume-kun again
**[19:06] Makoto**
will open your eyes, too.
**[19:11] Makoto**
Treasure your bond with him, okay?
**[19:13] Makoto**
You have this chance to see him again
because you stuck with swimming.

Enjoy swimming with that kind
of rival to the fullest.

It's all about the company
you travel with, you know?
**[11:02] Kisumi**
Wait, you didn't go to
Iwatobi either, did you?
**[11:05] Asahi**
I'm here to cheer on the guys
from my old high school.
**[11:14] Rin**
Hey, Haru.
**[11:15] Rin**
Come on, get in.
**[11:18] Haruka**
Coach Mikhail let you leave?
**[11:20] Rin**
Sure.
**[11:22] Rin**
Haru, don't use me as your excuse
if this throws your condition off.
**[11:26] Haru**
I'll be fine.
**[11:28] ---**
I'm not so fragile that one
day off would mess me up.
**[11:32] Rin**
Pretty confident, aren't you?
**[11:34] Haru**
Same goes for you.
**[11:40] Haru**
Hey, you're going too fast.
**[11:43] Ryuuji**
Damn...
**[11:45] Ryuuji**
With the All-Japan Invitational so close,
**[11:47] Ryuuji**
he went and changed his whole schedule
just to cheer on his old teammates?
**[11:50] Ryuuji**
Who the hell does that?
**[11:55] Makoto**
Wow, check out this crowd.
**[11:57] Makoto**
Maybe we were right to get here early?
**[12:00] Asahi**
There they are!
**[12:02] Asahi**
See you guys later, okay?
**[12:04] Makoto**
Sure.
**[12:05] Nagisa**
Hey, Mako-chan!
**[12:08] Makoto**
Nagisa, Rei.
**[12:09] Nagisa**
You're here pretty early.
**[12:11] Makoto**
Yeah, I guess.
**[12:12] Makoto**
I couldn't get to sleep for some reason...
**[12:15] Nagisa**
It's not like you're even
swimming today, Mako-chan.
**[12:18] Makoto**
I know, right?
**[12:19] Rin**
Did you tell Rei and Nagisa that
you'd be there to cheer them on?
**[12:22] Haru**
No.
**[12:24] Rin**
I haven't told Ai and the guys, either.
**[12:26] Rin**
I guess it'll just be a little surprise, huh?

He said he could use some
fresh air and stepped outside.
**[13:08] Asahi**
Man, you guys have really grown.
**[13:14] Inuhiko**
Something wrong, Senpai?
**[13:17] Asahi**
Nah, nothing.

**[13:29] Rin**
Haru, don't tell me...
**[13:31] Haru**
It'll be faster to run.
**[13:36] Rin**
This is a pretty stupid thing to do
right before the All-Japan Invitational!
**[13:40] Haru**
It's not stupid. It's free.
**[14:01] Rei**
This isn't like me.
**[14:03] Asahi**
Whoops... I'd better get back to the guys.

It's just a figure of speech.
**[15:21] Asahi**
And when it comes to luck, you've
got some of the best there is.
**[15:26] Asahi**
We managed to see each other again
after all these years, after all.

Yes, maybe you're right.

***SIGN*** Episode 12: Dive to the Future!
**[01:32] Shizuru**
Milk in the mornings.
**[01:33] Makoto**
Oh, do we have enough cups?
**[01:35] Nagisa**
There's a measuring cup!
**[01:37] Makoto**
Whoa, wait!
**[01:39] Nagisa**
What? Really?!
**[01:41] Makoto**
Yep, really.
**[01:42] Rei**
You mean Haruka-senpai swam crawl his first
time swimming, without being taught how?
**[01:47] Makoto**
That's right. And for 25 meters.
**[01:51] Makoto**
Even the swimming teacher was shocked.
**[01:54] Makoto**
It turned into a pretty big fuss.
**[01:56] Rei**
That would've been before kindergarten...
**[01:58] Romio**
Wow!
**[01:59] Nagisa**
I'd never heard that story before, though.
**[02:01] Makoto**
I never brought it up before?
**[02:03] Rei**
I'm shocked...
**[02:05] Makoto**
So basically, ever since the
very first time he swam,
**[02:08] Makoto**
Haru's only swum freestyle.
**[02:10] Nagisa**
I see!

What should we do with the salad?
**[02:20] Makoto**
All on the same plate, I guess?
**[02:22] Nagisa**
So it's finally the big day for
Haru-chan and the other guys!
**[02:25] Makoto**
Yeah. We should leave as
soon as we finish eating.
**[02:28] Romio**
Soon we'll be able to see
Chappy-senpai swim in person!

**[02:56] Ryuuji**
So, it's time.
**[02:58] Haru**
Yeah.
**[03:00] Ryuuji**
All right, let's go grab breakfast.
**[03:03] Ryuuji**
My treat today.
**[03:06] Mikhail**
I told you that Ryuuji and I were
rivals ever since high school, right?
**[03:10] Rin**
Yeah.
**[03:12] Mikhail**
He was a prodigy.
**[03:14] Mikhail**
He was a swimmer meant to stand at the
top of the world, without a doubt.
**[03:18] Rin**
So then why...
**[03:21] Mikhail**
A few days before the All-Japan Invitational,
**[03:23] Mikhail**
an old friend of his was in an accident.
**[03:26] Rin**
Oh...
**[03:27] Mikhail**
And rather than rush to
his best friend's side,
**[03:31] Mikhail**
Ryuuji chose to race.
**[03:34] Rin**
And... did he win?
**[03:36] Mikhail**
No...
**[03:38] Mikhail**
He lost.
**[03:39] Mikhail**
After all he gave up to be
in that race, he didn't win.
**[03:43] Mikhail**
He ended up retiring from
swimming after that.
**[03:48] Mikhail**
I'm pretty sure he's still trying to
find what's really important to him,
**[03:50] Mikhail**
all while staying connected
to swimming in some way.
**[03:55] Mikhail**
He's probably coaching
Nanase-kun to make sure
**[03:58] Mikhail**
he doesn't end up going down
the same path he once did.
**[04:06] Gou**

***SIGN*** Mikoshiba Seijuurou Hoshikawa Tsubasa
**[10:26] Hoshikawa**
Damn!
**[10:27] Momo**
Nii-chan...
**[10:29] Terashima**
Even Hoshikawa-senpai...
**[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.
**[12:14] Rei**
The men's 100m butterfly is next.
**[12:17] Both**
Rin-senpai!
**[12:23] Gou**
Onii-chan...
**[12:25] Voice**
*Take your marks.*
**[12:29] Mikhail**
Not a bad start.
**[12:31] Sousuke**
But this final heat
**[12:33] Sousuke**
has three guys who've been
in world championships.
**[12:37] Mom**
Rin...
**[12:42] Nitori**
He picked up speed!
**[12:44] Nagisa**
Rin-chan!
**[12:47] Makoto**
Rin...
**[12:47] Natsuya**
He's...
**[12:50] Gou**
Onii-chan!
***SIGN*** Matsuoka Rin
**[13:02] Nagisa**
He placed second!
**[13:03] Sousuke**
And he just barely beat the base time.
**[13:06] Gou**
All right!
**[13:08] Mom**
Rin... Well done!
**[13:12] Rin**
Yes!
**[13:15] Ryuuji**
Okay, you're up next.
**[13:17] Ryuuji**
Start getting ready.
**[13:19] Haru**
Okay.
**[13:22] Voice**
*The men's 200m freestyle final.*
**[13:26] Kisumi**
If he wins this, he takes on the world next!
**[13:28] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[13:32] Voice**
* In lane 5, Nanase Haruka*
* of Hidaka University.*
**[13:42] Makoto**
Haru...
**[13:44] Voice**
*Take your marks.*
**[13:49] Ryuuji**
That idiot.
**[13:50] Makoto**
Late start!
**[13:52] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[13:52] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[13:55] Makoto**
He's not moving as smoothly as usual...
**[13:58] Rin**
Haru...
**[14:01] Makoto**
Haru!
**[14:01] Kisumi**
Go!
**[14:38] Nagisa**
Haru-chan... lost?
***SIGN*** Nanase Haruka
**[14:50] Nagisa**
Haru-chan...
**[14:52] Rei**
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!
**[16:13] Rei**
We'll be rooting for you in full force!
**[16:15] Haru**
Thanks, both of you.
**[16:16] Momo**
Nagisacchi!
**[16:20] Nagisa**
Let's go, Rei-chan.
**[16:21] Nagisa**
See ya, Haru-chan.
**[16:23] Rei**
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.
**[16:52] Terashima**
Kirishima! Toono!
**[16:53] Terashima**
What's the hold-up? Let's get going!
**[16:56] Hiyori**
We'll be right there!
**[16:57] Ikuya**
Bye.
**[16:58] Hiyori**
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...*
**[23:34] ---**
