# Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club
Nanase Haruka loved to be in the water - loved swimming. In elementary school, Nanase Haruka, Tachibana Makoto, Matsuoka Rin, and Hazuki Nagisa attended the same swimming class together.
Time passed, and as Haruka was living an uneventful high school life, he suddenly encountered Rin again. Rin challenged Haruka to a race and showed him how much stronger he had become.
Soon enough, Makoto and Nagisa also rejoined the group, and along with a new classmate, Ryugazaki Rei, they established the Iwatobi High School Swimming Club.

Morning, Haru-*chan*.
**[02:19] ---**
I told you to stop calling me that.
**[02:21] ---**
Sorry, Haru.
**[02:23] ---**
We'll be late for the entrance ceremony.

**[02:48] ---**
Haru, you need to button up your collar!
**[02:53] ---**
It's too tight...
**[02:54] ---**
You'll get used to it in no time.
**[03:04] ---**
How did you know where I was?
**[03:09] ---**
I know everything about you, Haru.
**[03:13] ---**
...is what I want to say,
but I heard from your mom.
**[03:18] ---**
I see.
**[03:21] ---**
Haru, are you going to join a club? I...
**[03:27] ---**
I mean, are you *gonna*? I haven't decided yet...
**[03:32] ---**
"Gonna"?
**[03:33] ---**
Since we're in middle school now,
I thought I'd try to sound older...

I-I found it!
**[05:08] ---**
I'm in Class 2.
**[05:10] ---**
Haru, you can't see?
**[05:12] ---**
You're in...
**[05:15] ---**
"5 Nanase Haruka"
**[05:15] ---**
"5 Nanase Haruka"
...Class 1.
**[05:19] ---**
So we're in different classes, huh...
**[05:24] ---**
Our classes are next to each other,
so we'll be together for joint lessons and P.E.
**[05:29] ---**
--That's true, but--
--Tachibana!
**[05:32] ---**
Oh, Mochizuki-*kun*?
**[05:33] ---**
Hey! I'm in Class 2, too!
**[05:35] ---**
Oh, really?
**[05:37] ---**
Yeah! We haven't been in
the same class since third grade, huh?
**[05:42] ---**
Oh, wait, Haru!
**[05:48] ---**
Hey, hey! You wanna join the swim club?
**[05:50] ---**
No, I'm not...
**[05:52] ---**
What? It's fine! Let's swim together!
**[05:56] ---**
Unless you've already
decided what club to join?
**[05:59] ---**
Not yet, but...
**[06:00] ---**
Then, it's fine! Let's swim!
**[06:02] ---**
No, I haven't decided which one yet,
but I was thinking of joining a cultural club...
**[06:08] ---**
Are you Nanase Haruka-*kun*?
**[06:12] ---**
I'm Shigino Kisumi.
**[06:13] ---**
I went to Sano Elementary,
**[06:15] ---**
and I heard about you from Matsuoka Rin.
**[06:19] ---**
From Rin?
**[06:20] ---**
He said there was a really fast guy
at Iwatobi Swimming Club.
**[06:24] ---**
"Swimming Club"?!
**[06:26] ---**
You go to an SC?
**[06:28] ---**
"SC"?
**[06:29] ---**
It's short for "Swimming Club"!
**[06:31] ---**
I'm Shiina Asahi.
**[06:33] ---**
Um... Nanase!
**[06:35] ---**
You're definitely joining the swim club, right?!
**[06:38] ---**
Right?
**[06:40] ---**
I haven't decided yet.
**[06:41] ---**
What, you haven't decided yet?
**[06:43] ---**
Then, wanna join the basketball club with me?
**[06:45] ---**
Hey, you can't steal him!
**[06:48] ---**
Join the swim club! Okay?
**[06:50] ---**
If you're already going to a swimming club,
then you don't need to swim anymore, do you?
**[06:53] ---**
Then, you should join the basketball club.
**[06:55] ---**
Shut up!
**[07:01] ---**
The picture from that time got put up, huh?
**[07:07] ---**
I wonder how Rin's doing.
**[07:09] ---**
Who knows?
**[07:13] ---**
Haru-*chan*, Mako-*chan*!
**[07:16] ---**
Nagisa, it's dangerous to run.
**[07:18] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[07:20] ---**
Hey, how's middle school?
**[07:23] ---**
Is it fun?
**[07:24] ---**
It's hard to say after just one day.
**[07:26] ---**
It's normal.
**[07:27] ---**
Really?
**[07:29] ---**
I wish I were the same year as you guys.
**[07:33] ---**
Nagisa, you'll be a
middle schooler, too, next year.
**[07:37] ---**
But I can't be in the relay
with you two this year, can I?
**[07:42] ---**
Rin-*chan*'s gone, too...
**[07:45] ---**
Yeah...
**[07:56] ---**
Hey, Haruka! Jumping in
without permission again?!
**[08:03] ---**
I'm home.
**[08:04] ---**
Welcome back.
**[08:05] ---**
Your school seems nice. How was your class?
**[08:09] ---**
Normal.
**[08:09] ---**
Really?
**[08:11] ---**
Come down once you've changed.
Dinner's already on the table.
**[08:15] ---**
'Kay.
**[08:33] ---**
"Club Application Form"
**[08:37] ---**
I'm not going to a middle school around here.
**[08:41] ---**
I'm going to Australia.
**[08:43] ---**
I'm gonna be an Olympic swimmer!
**[08:51] ---**

**[09:00] ---**
Ikuya, how's school?
**[09:05] ---**
I don't know yet.
**[09:08] ---**
I see...
**[09:11] ---**
Thanks for the food.
**[09:12] ---**
What? Done already?
**[09:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:33] ---**
Asahi, what're you doin--
**[09:38] ---**
Sis, don't laugh!
**[09:43] ---**
I'm leaving!
**[09:51] ---**
Coming!
**[09:53] ---**
Morning, Auntie.
**[09:55] ---**
Morning, Makoto-*kun*.
**[09:57] ---**
Haruka!
**[09:58] ---**
Makoto-*kun*'s here!
**[10:01] ---**
'Kay.
**[10:03] ---**
Morning, Haru. Oh!
**[10:05] ---**
Let's go, Makoto.
**[10:08] ---**
Jeez...
**[10:15] ---**
Nanase! Run!
**[10:19] ---**
Over here!
**[10:22] ---**
Nanase-*kun*!
**[10:28] ---**
Okay, that's it!
**[10:29] ---**
--Finally, done!
--I need to work hard, too.
**[10:30] ---**
--That was a good shot.
--I need to work hard, too.
**[10:33] ---**
Haru, that last shot was amazing.
**[10:36] ---**
You stopped pretty much
all my other shots, though.
**[10:40] ---**
Nanase!
**[10:41] ---**
Nanase-*kun*!
**[10:44] ---**
Oh, you're the kid from
Class 2 who played well earlier!
**[10:47] ---**
Um...
**[10:48] ---**
"Tachibana"
**[10:48] ---**
"Tachibana"
Tachibana?
**[10:51] ---**
I'm Tachibana Makoto.
**[10:53] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[10:54] ---**
Yeah, nice to meet you!
**[10:55] ---**
I'm Shiina Asahi.
**[10:57] ---**
I'm Shigino Kisumi. Nice to meet you!
**[11:00] ---**
Hey, hey, what'd you think of my rebounds?
**[11:04] ---**
They were cool.
**[11:06] ---**
Really?
**[11:07] ---**
Well, I can do pretty much anything, you know.
**[11:10] ---**
Then, make use of that
and join the basketball club!
**[11:13] ---**
I'm not joining!
**[11:14] ---**
Nanase and I have the swim club! Right?
**[11:17] ---**
What? You're joining the swim club?
**[11:20] ---**
I never said that.
**[11:21] ---**
You should join, Makoto.
**[11:23] ---**
What? Don't tell me you go
to the same SC as Nanase?
**[11:27] ---**
Huh? Yeah...
**[11:28] ---**
Then, you're joining the swim club, too!
**[11:30] ---**
Why?!
**[11:31] ---**
Aw, join the basketball club.
**[11:33] ---**
Right, Nanase-*kun*?
**[11:35] ---**
Haru, you're so popular.
**[11:38] ---**
"Haru"?
**[11:39] ---**
Oh, because your first name's "Haruka"?
**[11:41] ---**
Can I call you guys "Haru" and "Makoto," too?
**[11:44] ---**
You're so shameless.
**[11:46] ---**
--I don't care.
--Sure.
**[11:47] ---**
Hey!
**[11:48] ---**
It's okay?!
**[11:49] ---**
Then! I'll call you guys
"Haru" and "Makoto," too!
**[11:52] ---**
Do what you want.
**[11:53] ---**
It's fine.
**[11:57] ---**
You can just call me "Asahi," too!
**[11:59] ---**
Nice to meet you all again, Haru, Makoto, Asahi.
**[12:03] ---**
I didn't say *you* could!
**[12:05] ---**
It's fine, isn't it?
You can just call me "Kisumi," too.
**[12:08] ---**
Oh my, he said "kiss me"! What a pervy name!
**[12:12] ---**
You're the pervy one
for thinking of it like that.
**[12:15] ---**
Pervert.
**[12:17] ---**
I'm not a pervert!
**[12:18] ---**
Don't say that!
**[12:19] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[12:29] ---**
"Nanase"
**[12:33] ---**
Hey.
**[12:54] ---**
Haru, are you a little tired
from all the new things?
**[12:58] ---**
Not really... It's a little noisy...
**[13:01] ---**
It's true that there are a lot
of energetic kids in your class.
**[13:05] ---**
Speaking of which, Kisumi asked us
to join the basketball club, right?
**[13:08] ---**
Did you decide on a club yet, Haru?
**[13:10] ---**
I haven't decided yet.
**[13:12] ---**
But our school requires you to join a club...
**[13:16] ---**
What about you?
**[13:18] ---**
Me? Hm...
**[13:22] ---**
I haven't decided yet.
**[13:24] ---**
Then worry about yourself first.
**[13:26] ---**
There are a lot of different clubs,
so it's hard to decide, huh?
**[13:31] ---**
How about the basketball club?
**[13:33] ---**
Huh?
**[13:39] ---**
Makoto?
**[13:41] ---**
Haru...
**[13:42] ---**
Are you okay with me
joining the basketball club?
**[13:49] ---**
You're free to decide which club you join.
**[13:56] ---**
You're right.
**[13:58] ---**
Hm, basketball, huh?
**[14:00] ---**
I've only ever done it in P.E.,
but that might be good, too.
**[14:10] ---**
Haru...
**[14:11] ---**
Are you okay with me
joining the basketball club?
**[14:14] ---**
"Milk"
**[14:21] ---**
Haru!
**[14:22] ---**
Let's eat together!
**[14:23] ---**
I mean, I'm gonna eat here even if you say no.
**[14:26] ---**
Haru, let's eat lunch!
**[14:28] ---**
Hey, why are you here?
**[14:30] ---**
It's fine, let's all eat together!
**[14:32] ---**
Shut up! I'm gonna eat lunch with Haru.
**[14:35] ---**
Come on, don't be so stiff.
**[14:38] ---**
Hey, what elementary school
did you go to, Asahi?
**[14:41] ---**
You weren't at mine, and Haru,
you were at Iwatobi Elementary, right?
**[14:45] ---**
Oh, I transferred here in March.
**[14:48] ---**
So I didn't go to elementary school around here.
**[14:51] ---**
Really? Did you swim back there, too?
**[14:53] ---**
Yup! At my old SC, I swam the 50 m
and 100 m butterfly and the medley relay.
**[15:00] ---**
What's a "medley relay"?
**[15:02] ---**
It's when four people swim--
**[15:03] ---**
Backstroke!
**[15:04] ---**
Breaststroke!
**[15:06] ---**
Butterfly!
**[15:07] ---**
And freestyle!
**[15:08] ---**
--in a relay with different strokes!
**[15:11] ---**
Anyway, if you don't know,
don't butt into our conversation!
**[15:14] ---**
Even though you're mad,
you're still explaining it properly.
**[15:17] ---**
You're a nice guy, huh, Asahi?
**[15:20] ---**
W-Well, I mean, just explaining
doesn't cost me anything.
**[15:25] ---**
I wanna compete at a swim meet...
**[15:28] ---**
Oh, but I'd have a different
medley relay team, huh?
**[15:31] ---**
I wanted to compete
with the guys from my old SC...
**[15:42] ---**
What? Are you both obsessed with swimming?
**[15:45] ---**
Why don't you join the basketball club?
**[15:47] ---**
I told you, we're not
joining the basketball club.
**[15:50] ---**
I was thinking that we could be a good
team in three years if we joined now...
**[15:55] ---**
Are you looking down on me?
**[15:57] ---**
If I join, I'll be a regular
right away, of course!
**[16:00] ---**
Wow, amazing! Amazing!
**[16:02] ---**
You're so cool, Asahi.
**[16:04] ---**
Here's a club application form.
**[16:05] ---**
"Shii"
Yeah!
**[16:06] ---**
I mean, hey!
**[16:08] ---**
I *told* you, I'm not joining!
**[16:10] ---**
--Sorry, sorry!
--You tricked me into filling a little out!
**[16:11] ---**
--Haru!
--You tricked me into filling a little out!
**[16:12] ---**
--Haru!
--Come on, join!
**[16:22] ---**
What is it, Makoto?
**[16:24] ---**
Well, this upperclassman is...
**[16:27] ---**
Hey! You're Nanase Haruka
from Iwatobi SC, right?
**[16:30] ---**
Join the swim club.
**[16:35] ---**
He's been like this for a while...
**[16:37] ---**
Oh, right. You can't tell like this, huh? Sorry.
**[16:41] ---**
I'm Kirishima Natsuya.
**[16:43] ---**
I'm the captain of the swim club,
and I came to invite you two to join.
**[16:48] ---**
--Again?
--Hm? Is something the matter?
**[16:51] ---**
Nothing.
**[16:52] ---**
Speak politely!
**[16:54] ---**
Sir.
**[16:56] ---**
Well, how about it?
Feel like joining the swim club?
**[17:00] ---**
Haru, what should we do?
**[17:02] ---**
Not interested.
**[17:03] ---**
Haru!
**[17:04] ---**
Have you already decided
what club you're joining?
**[17:07] ---**
Not yet, sir...
**[17:09] ---**
We don't have many first years
joining, so we're in a pinch.
**[17:12] ---**
Please?
**[17:13] ---**
What should we do?
**[17:16] ---**
Everyone just plays around
during club activities, right?
**[17:22] ---**
Ikuya, it isn't just fun and games.
**[17:25] ---**
Yes, it is.
**[17:26] ---**
What, after getting tired of competing,
now you're playing at being friends in a club?
**[17:30] ---**
Are you stupid, Big Bro?
**[17:33] ---**
You're brothers, sir?
**[17:35] ---**
Oh, uh, yeah...
**[17:37] ---**
Anyway, think about joining the club, you two.
**[17:40] ---**
Later.
**[17:41] ---**
Huh? Wai--
**[17:44] ---**
He said they don't have many new members.
**[17:46] ---**
Haru, what should we do?
**[17:49] ---**
You're too nice.
**[17:51] ---**
Everyone says that when
they're trying to get people to join.
**[17:54] ---**
You think so?
**[17:56] ---**
There's no need for you to join.
**[17:58] ---**
You're Kirishima-*kun*, right?
**[18:01] ---**
Why do you think that?
**[18:02] ---**
Everyone just plays
around during club activities.
**[18:05] ---**
For someone like me who swims seriously
at an SC, club activities are nothing.
**[18:11] ---**
Don't you guys think so, too?
**[18:13] ---**
Not really.
**[18:15] ---**
It's just a pain.
**[18:16] ---**
They're just playing around!
**[18:20] ---**
Anyway, I can't think of
club activities as being serious.
**[18:25] ---**
You're not gonna finish eating?
**[18:27] ---**
Huh? You guys talking
about something serious?
**[18:32] ---**
Oh, you're the guy who's
always sneaking glances at me!
**[18:35] ---**
What?! I don't look at you!
**[18:37] ---**
Yes, you do.
**[18:38] ---**
What, you wanna be my friend that badly?
**[18:41] ---**
It can't be helped.
**[18:43] ---**
No.
**[18:44] ---**
It leaks out even if I try to hide it, huh?
**[18:46] ---**
What does?
**[18:47] ---**
My charisma.
**[18:48] ---**
That's not it!
**[18:49] ---**
It's because looking at you
makes me laugh, like at a zoo.
**[18:53] ---**
A zoo? Why?
**[18:55] ---**
Because you're just like a monkey.
**[19:00] ---**
K-Kisumi, don't laugh!
**[19:02] ---**
I'm mad at you now!
**[19:03] ---**
If you call someone a monkey,
then *you're* the monkey!
**[19:06] ---**
I-It's fine, Asahi!
**[19:08] ---**
All humans come from monkeys.
**[19:11] ---**
Whose side are you on?!
**[19:13] ---**
See, he's screeching
just like a monkey, isn't he?
**[19:15] ---**
You're all too loud.
**[19:19] ---**
Oh! One, two, three, four, five!
**[19:22] ---**
Huh?
**[19:23] ---**
We have exactly five people.
**[19:24] ---**
Wanna join the basketball club together?
**[19:27] ---**
--I'm not joining!
--I'm not joining.
**[19:30] ---**
You're still saying that?
**[19:31] ---**
But, then what club are you guys gonna join?
**[19:35] ---**
The swim club, of course!
**[19:37] ---**
I still haven't decided...
**[19:39] ---**
I'm not interested.
**[19:40] ---**
Same here.
**[19:41] ---**
What? I don't know about this guy, but Haru
and Makoto are joining the swim club, right?
**[19:45] ---**
You can swim, can't you?
**[19:47] ---**
Then you should join!
**[19:48] ---**
Why'd it end up like that?
**[19:50] ---**
If we follow that logic, then everyone
who can swim would be on the swim team.
**[19:53] ---**
Wait. Why did I get put
in the "can't swim" category?
**[19:57] ---**
What, you *can* swim?
**[20:00] ---**
--I've been going to Bando SC since first grade.
--Oh, Kirishima-*kun*, you did swimming, too?
**[20:06] ---**
That's why I'm not interested
in a club that's just playing around.
**[20:09] ---**
What? How do you know
they're just playing around?
**[20:13] ---**
In clubs, they don't split you
into teams based on ability,
**[20:16] ---**
and all the practices are way too easy.
**[20:19] ---**
Everyone's just playing around.
**[20:22] ---**
What did you say?
**[20:24] ---**
You don't know that!
**[20:26] ---**
You haven't joined yet,
so how would *you* know?!
**[20:30] ---**
I don't! That's why I'm joining!
**[20:33] ---**
How are you supposed
to know without doing it?
**[20:37] ---**
Aren't you just scared?
**[20:41] ---**
What did you say?
**[20:42] ---**
You're scared of jumping into
something you don't know, aren't you?
**[20:47] ---**
"Join Swim Club"
**[20:47] ---**
"Join Swim Club"
Oh no, I forgot to give them a swim club flyer.
**[20:48] ---**
Oh no, I forgot to give them a swim club flyer.
**[20:51] ---**
Nao would be mad if he found out...
**[20:55] ---**
Fine!
**[20:56] ---**
If you're going to say that much, then I'll join
and see if it really is just playing around!
**[21:01] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[21:03] ---**
Kirishima-*senpai*?
**[21:05] ---**
I forgot to give these to you.
**[21:07] ---**
Here. Here.
**[21:09] ---**
Here.
**[21:09] ---**
Swim club flyer?
**[21:11] ---**
Oh, I'm joining the basketball club.
**[21:13] ---**
Aw, too bad.
**[21:15] ---**
Everyone here will join!
**[21:16] ---**
Other than Kisumi!
**[21:17] ---**
What, seriously?
**[21:18] ---**
What, I'm the only one being left out?
**[21:21] ---**
There's nothing to be left out of.
**[21:22] ---**
Us, too? You can't do that without asking...
**[21:25] ---**
Haru, you say something, too.
**[21:27] ---**
It's better than the basketball club.
**[21:28] ---**
Don't decide like that...
**[21:30] ---**
I'm against criticizing the basketball club!
**[21:35] ---**
Don't give up halfway through.
**[21:38] ---**
I won't!
**[21:43] ---**
Then, I'll see you at the pool
after the Golden Week holidays!
**[21:48] ---**
Aw man, in the end, the swim club took everyone.
**[21:53] ---**
We ended up joining without really
knowing what was going on, huh?
**[22:02] ---**
Everyone, gather round!
**[22:04] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[22:06] ---**
We have new members joining us starting today.
**[22:08] ---**
I'm sure you second and third years know this,
**[22:11] ---**
but we'll have a practice swim meet
against Sano Middle School soon.
**[22:14] ---**
After that, it will be an official meet.
**[22:16] ---**
First years will also be participating,
so don't lose focus.
**[22:19] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[22:19] ---**
Also--
**[22:21] ---**
These are our new first years.
**[22:23] ---**
Okay, will you introduce
yourselves from the end?
**[22:26] ---**
Shiina Asahi, first year!
**[22:29] ---**
Hey, we already know you're a first year.
**[22:32] ---**
Oh, um...
**[22:34] ---**
I moved here in the spring!
**[22:36] ---**
I was part of an SC where I used to live,
and I'm good at the butterfly!
**[22:40] ---**
I expect to get faster and faster!
**[22:42] ---**
Thank you!
**[22:49] ---**
Ikuya, introduce yourself.
**[22:52] ---**
I'm Kirishima Ikuya.
**[22:53] ---**
My specialty is breaststroke.
**[22:59] ---**
I'm Tachibana Makoto.
**[23:00] ---**
At Iwatobi SC, my specialty was backstroke.
**[23:04] ---**
Thank you.
**[23:06] ---**
Nanase Haruka. I only swim freestyle.
**[23:09] ---**
Speak politely.
**[23:11] ---**
Thank you.
**[23:15] ---**
Now that I think about it, you guys
all have different specialties, huh?
**[23:18] ---**
You can enter the first-year medley relay.
**[23:21] ---**
I will only swim in individual races.
**[23:23] ---**
Sir.
**[23:24] ---**
And I only swim freestyle.
**[23:26] ---**
Huh?
**[23:28] ---**
Haruka...
**[23:31] ---**
Don't call me by my first name.
**[23:32] ---**
What are you muttering about?
**[23:34] ---**
More importantly, as captain, I won't allow
you to say you'll only swim in individual races,
**[23:38] ---**
or that you'll only swim freestyle.
**[23:40] ---**
You won't do the relay no matter what?
**[23:46] ---**
Haruka!
**[23:48] ---**
Don't be too full of yourself.
**[23:51] ---**
Get in the pool right now.
**[23:53] ---**
Come on.
**[23:54] ---**
We'll have a 50 m race.
**[23:58] ---**
We'll swim...
**[24:00] ---**
...freestyle!
**[24:06] ---**
U-Um, wait--
**[24:09] ---**
Our captain won't listen
to anyone after he gets like that.
**[24:11] ---**
Just give it up.
**[24:12] ---**
What?
**[24:14] ---**
Haruka, if you want to stick to your
convictions, then show me by beating me.
**[24:19] ---**
Don't call me by my first name.
**[24:20] ---**
This isn't the time for that, Haru!
**[24:23] ---**
Nao, you're the starter.
**[24:24] ---**
Okay, okay. On your marks...
**[24:28] ---**
Get set...
**[24:41] ---**
That kid's fast!
**[24:42] ---**
He's as fast as the captain!
**[24:47] ---**
They're going into the turn!
**[24:49] ---**
That first year's still
sticking right by the captain!
**[24:52] ---**
They're neck and neck!
**[25:08] ---**
You two were tied.
**[25:10] ---**
I see. Damn it!
**[25:17] ---**
You really are fast.
**[25:19] ---**
Fine, you can just swim freestyle.
**[25:22] ---**
But it was a tie,
so I'll have you in the relay, too.
**[25:29] ---**
But next time, I'll win!
**[25:39] ---**
Haru.
**[25:40] ---**
All right, let's start practice!
**[25:42] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[25:45] ---**
You're fast.
**[25:46] ---**
I'm normal.
**[25:47] ---**
Th-That was great!
**[25:49] ---**
Haru! I was so surprised!
**[25:51] ---**
Come on, first years are over here!
**[25:53] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[25:56] ---**
This is Serizawa Nao, a third year.
**[25:58] ---**
He's mainly a manager.
**[26:00] ---**
He's also in charge of teaching
the first years, so you'll learn from him.
**[26:04] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[26:06] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[26:07] ---**
Asahi, Ikuya, Makoto, Haruka.
**[26:11] ---**
My first name again.
**[26:12] ---**
Do you really hate being called
by your first name that much?
**[26:15] ---**
But too bad! All club members
call each other by first name!
**[26:19] ---**
That's our motto!
**[26:20] ---**
What?
**[26:23] ---**
That's right.
**[26:24] ---**
Because swimmers usually compete as
individuals, it's easy to become self-centered.
**[26:28] ---**
But that won't work for a club.
**[26:31] ---**
It's to deepen the bonds
between club members.
**[26:36] ---**
Okay, Nao, I'm leaving the rest to you.
**[26:37] ---**
Right.
**[26:39] ---**
Now, I've been entrusted
with teaching you guys,
**[26:43] ---**
but I'll start by showing you around.
**[27:27] ---**
All right, why don't we end
with 200 m across the pool?
**[27:32] ---**
It'll be part of your cool down,
so you don't have to go all out.
**[27:35] ---**
You'll be swimming freestyle.
**[27:37] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[27:41] ---**
Okay, next.
**[27:45] ---**
Okay, next.
**[27:48] ---**
Okay, next.
**[27:49] ---**
Yessir.
**[28:04] ---**
Come on, Asahi, stop messing around.
**[28:07] ---**
Sorry.
**[28:14] ---**
What is it?
**[28:15] ---**
Well...
**[28:24] ---**
Asahi?
**[28:25] ---**
What, is this a joke?
**[28:28] ---**
I-I...
**[28:30] ---**
I can't swim freestyle anymore!
**[28:34] ---**
Huh?
**[28:35] ---**
What?!
**[28:36] ---**
"Boys' Locker Room"
**[28:38] ---**
You really just suddenly couldn't swim anymore?
**[28:41] ---**
Yessir.
**[28:43] ---**
Was it that you actually
just couldn't swim freestyle?
**[28:47] ---**
That's not it!
**[28:49] ---**
I could!
**[28:50] ---**
But... But today, when I tried, I couldn't...
**[28:57] ---**
But why all of a sudden?
**[28:58] ---**
How should I know?!
**[29:00] ---**
Maybe it's a mental issue.
**[29:03] ---**
Mental...?
**[29:07] ---**
Don't worry.
**[29:08] ---**
If you were able to swim it before, then you'll
be able to get the feel for it back in no time.
**[29:14] ---**
Yessir!
**[29:22] ---**
Ikuya!
**[29:24] ---**
You're a lot better than
you were earlier! Don't worry!
**[29:27] ---**
You'll get the hang of it soon,
so do your best, Ikuya!
**[29:31] ---**
Big Brother.
**[29:34] ---**
Right!
**[29:38] ---**
Hey, Ikuya!
**[29:40] ---**
Ikuya!
**[29:42] ---**
What's with him?
**[29:49] ---**
I wonder if Asahi will be okay...
**[29:51] ---**
Who knows?
**[29:52] ---**
Do you think Natsuya-*senpai*
and Ikuya-*kun* don't get along?
**[29:56] ---**
Who knows?
**[29:57] ---**
Haru, you're not even listening, are you?
**[30:02] ---**
Yoo-hoo! Haru-*chan*, Mako-*chan*!
**[30:05] ---**
You were pretty late!
**[30:06] ---**
Yeah, Haru and I joined the swim club.
**[30:09] ---**
Swim club?
**[30:11] ---**
At our school,
everyone's required to join a club.
**[30:14] ---**
Oh?
**[30:16] ---**
We'll still try to come here when we can.
**[30:20] ---**
Yeah, you've gotta!
**[30:22] ---**
Oh, that reminds me,
**[30:25] ---**
Coach said earlier that I'd swim breaststroke
in the 50 m and 100 m races at the next meet!
**[30:31] ---**
Really? That's great, Nagisa!
**[30:32] ---**
Yeah!
**[30:33] ---**
What about you two?
**[30:36] ---**
Well, they said there'd be
an official meet with the swim club,
**[30:40] ---**
so I'll probably prioritize that.
**[30:42] ---**
Really? What about you, Haru-*chan*?
**[30:45] ---**
I won't enter, either.
**[30:47] ---**
I see...
**[30:51] ---**
I'll go cheer for you, though.
**[30:53] ---**
Yeah, we have to go watch
your spectacular swimming.
**[30:55] ---**
Really?
**[30:56] ---**
--All right! I'll do my best!
--Nagisa! I told you not to run by the pool!
**[31:02] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[31:08] ---**
"Sports"
**[31:13] ---**
Mental... Mental...
**[31:15] ---**
Why are there so many?
**[31:17] ---**
Which one should I get?
**[31:20] ---**
Please be a little quieter.
**[31:23] ---**
"Training for Track-and-Field Events"
I-I'm sorry.
**[31:25] ---**
"Training for Track-and-Field Events"
**[31:30] ---**
Hey, do you like books?!
**[31:31] ---**
Hey! Your voice is too loud.
**[31:34] ---**
What's with that sudden question?
**[31:37] ---**
You're wearing glasses,
so I thought maybe you liked books...
**[31:40] ---**
You're jumping to conclusions.
**[31:43] ---**
Come on, please?
**[31:45] ---**
I don't know which one to choose,
and I'm in a tight spot.
**[31:54] ---**
What kind of book are you looking for?
**[31:57] ---**
I might be able to help you a little.
**[32:00] ---**
Really?
**[32:00] ---**
I want to be able to swim!
**[32:03] ---**
I need a book to help me do that!
**[32:05] ---**
If there's a book like that, then *I* want one!
**[32:07] ---**
Huh? What'd you say?
**[32:09] ---**
Nothing.
**[32:10] ---**
Anyway, do you call that an explanation?
**[32:13] ---**
You need to give more details.
**[32:15] ---**
Oh, right.
**[32:16] ---**
Let's see... I could swim
the front crawl until yesterday,
**[32:20] ---**
but then suddenly, I couldn't swim it anymore.
**[32:23] ---**
Does stuff like that happen?
**[32:25] ---**
It did happen! I'm not lying!
**[32:28] ---**
No, it can't be... But it's possible.
**[32:31] ---**
If his mental state is
affecting his body, then...
**[32:34] ---**
What are you muttering about?
**[32:35] ---**
I'm trying to help you here.
**[32:38] ---**
"Mental Training for Swimming"
**[32:41] ---**
"Mental Training"
**[32:42] ---**
"Mental Training"
Why don't you try reading these?
**[32:44] ---**
Thanks!
**[32:49] ---**
Mental training books are great and all,
**[32:52] ---**
but I think first, you should
reexamine yourself carefully.
**[32:55] ---**
Really, thanks! You're a lifesaver!
**[32:57] ---**
Hey! Listen until I'm done--
**[33:04] ---**
Huh? What? What, what?
**[33:07] ---**
Hey, you! You didn't check those out, did you?
**[33:07] ---**
"Returns/Checkout Counter"
Hey, you! You didn't check those out, did you?
**[33:09] ---**
"Returns/Checkout Counter"
Huh? What?
**[33:10] ---**
--Come with me.
--Hey! Huh? Wait--
**[33:15] ---**
...nius... I am a genius...
I am a genius... I am a genius...
**[33:21] ---**
I am a genius. I am a genius. I am a genius.
I am a genius. I am a genius. I am a genius.
**[33:29] ---**
I... am a genius!
**[33:32] ---**
Shut up, stupid Asahi!
**[33:41] ---**
Man, basketball club practice is tough...
**[33:43] ---**
How's the swim club?
**[33:45] ---**
Normal.
**[33:46] ---**
That's always your answer, Haru.
**[33:52] ---**
--Kirishima.
--Wh-What?
**[33:55] ---**
You want to eat with us, Kirishima?
**[33:58] ---**
I don't really...
**[34:05] ---**
What?
**[34:07] ---**
Nothing.
**[34:09] ---**
Come on, eat with us.
**[34:11] ---**
I want to talk to you, too.
**[34:17] ---**
I-I guess I have no choice.
**[34:24] ---**
If you're going to say that...
**[34:25] ---**
Food! Food!
**[34:27] ---**
Hey! Why are you sitting over there?!
**[34:31] ---**
I can sit wherever I want, can't I?
**[34:34] ---**
That seat's reserved for *me*!
**[34:36] ---**
Asahi, come sit here.
**[34:38] ---**
Are you stupid? Why? No way!
**[34:41] ---**
Asahi, you're so funny.
**[34:45] ---**
I guess I don't have a choice...
**[34:49] ---**
Asahi, you're actually a good guy, aren't you?
**[34:51] ---**
Shut up.
**[34:53] ---**
Did the thing from yesterday get better?
**[34:55] ---**
Oh, that? I dunno.
**[34:57] ---**
Huh? Did something happen?
**[34:59] ---**
This guy stopped being able to swim.
**[35:02] ---**
Just freestyle! Just freestyle!
**[35:04] ---**
Is that possible?
**[35:05] ---**
Yeah, it is!
**[35:07] ---**
But I borrowed books on
mental training yesterday.
**[35:11] ---**
So I'll be back to normal in no time!
**[35:16] ---**
That's what I want to say, but...
**[35:21] ---**
I'm stumped.
**[35:22] ---**
Why?
**[35:23] ---**
Well, step one of the first phase
says to find your weaknesses...
**[35:32] ---**
But since I'm perfect...
**[35:35] ---**
Hm?
**[35:35] ---**
I have no weaknesses.
**[35:38] ---**
So I'm stumped.
**[35:40] ---**
I think your weakness is that you're stupid.
**[35:43] ---**
Yeah, you're stupid.
**[35:44] ---**
Asahi, you're so stupid!
**[35:47] ---**
I'm gonna beat all of you guys up!
**[35:50] ---**
But that's what's so great about you, Asahi.
**[35:53] ---**
That doesn't make me happy!
**[35:56] ---**
Anyway, the book said
to talk about yourself positively.
**[36:01] ---**
In other words, self-suggestion!
**[36:03] ---**
That's why I thought I'd keep telling myself,
"You're a genius!" in the mirror!
**[36:09] ---**
Is that really training?
**[36:11] ---**
Yeah, isn't it?
**[36:13] ---**
You really are stupid.
**[36:14] ---**
What's wrong with you?
**[36:15] ---**
This whole time--
**[36:17] ---**
But it's fine, isn't it?
**[36:19] ---**
Right?
**[36:20] ---**
It's how you look at things that matters, right?
**[36:23] ---**
Yeah!
**[36:37] ---**
What is it?
**[36:38] ---**
What?
**[37:01] ---**
What've you guys been doing?
**[37:03] ---**
What is it, Ikuya?
**[37:04] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[37:06] ---**
Don't copy me.
**[37:07] ---**
I-I'm not!
**[37:11] ---**
Ikuya, you're funny, too!
**[37:13] ---**
Don't lump me with him!
**[37:15] ---**
Hey, what do you mean?!
**[37:16] ---**
Just what I said!
**[37:18] ---**
Anyway, don't call me by
my first name so naturally!
**[37:22] ---**
Tachibana, make sure you wait!
**[37:24] ---**
Yeah, I'm waiting.
**[37:29] ---**
Haru, you're having fun with
these guys, too, aren't you?
**[37:31] ---**
Not really...
**[37:32] ---**
This isn't fun.
**[37:34] ---**
That's what you say after I went
out of my way to eat with you guys?
**[37:36] ---**
Then go somewhere else!
**[37:38] ---**
I can eat wherever I want, can't I?
**[37:40] ---**
What's with that tone of voice? You're eating
here 'cause you wanna copy Haru, right?
**[37:45] ---**
I-I wasn't copying him!
**[37:46] ---**
We just happened to be eating the same way!
**[37:51] ---**
Is something the matter, Haru?
**[37:52] ---**
It's nothing.
**[37:56] ---**
Hey, who's the boy on class duty for Class 1?
**[37:59] ---**
Wasn't it you today, Haru?
**[38:00] ---**
"Class Duty: Nanase, Niiyama"
Wasn't it you today, Haru?
**[38:08] ---**
"Mandarin Oranges"
**[38:15] ---**
That was close.
**[38:18] ---**
How's club going?
**[38:20] ---**
Normal...
**[38:21] ---**
...sir.
**[38:22] ---**
I'm glad to hear that.
**[38:24] ---**
I don't know what I would've done
if you said you wanted to quit already.
**[38:27] ---**
Has Ikuya... said anything
about wanting to quit?
**[38:33] ---**
No, he hasn't.
**[38:35] ---**
But maybe you should ask him yourself... sir.
**[38:39] ---**
You need to work on speaking politely.
**[38:41] ---**
You'll need to be able to in the future.
**[38:48] ---**
Why don't you and Ikuya get along, sir?
**[38:55] ---**
Probably because I pushed him away.
**[39:00] ---**
That's why Ikuya's hated me
for the past two years.
**[39:07] ---**
I don't think that's true.
**[39:13] ---**
I wonder...
**[39:16] ---**
Here. Will you be okay?
**[39:18] ---**
Don't drop them.
**[39:19] ---**
Well, he's got some issues, but please
get along with him from now on, too.
**[39:23] ---**
See you at practice.
**[39:30] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[39:36] ---**
Sure! See ya!
**[39:51] ---**
Hey, Ikuya, what's the matter?
**[39:53] ---**
With what?
**[39:55] ---**
Copying Haru--
**[39:55] ---**
I'm not copying him!
**[39:57] ---**
Hey, Haru, what's up with Ikuya?
**[40:00] ---**
How should I know?
**[40:02] ---**
Hey, first years!
**[40:03] ---**
Senpai! Hello!
**[40:05] ---**
Sir!
**[40:06] ---**
--Hey.
--Right.
**[40:10] ---**
Ikuya, your greeting.
**[40:13] ---**
Hey.
**[40:15] ---**
How's it going, Asahi?
Do you think you can swim freestyle?
**[40:18] ---**
Yes! Nao-*senpai* said something
about how it could be a mental issue,
**[40:23] ---**
so I went to the library yesterday
and borrowed books about mental training!
**[40:27] ---**
Really? Good job.
**[40:30] ---**
I hope you'll be able to swim!
**[40:31] ---**
Thank you, sir. So anyway, I'll be fine!
**[40:33] ---**
I see.
**[40:35] ---**
Then, I'll leave the first years to you.
**[40:38] ---**
Right.
**[40:41] ---**
Captain, shall we begin?
**[40:42] ---**
Yeah, I'll be right there!
**[40:47] ---**
He really is awkward.
**[40:55] ---**
Well, shall we start?
**[40:56] ---**
Yessir!
**[40:57] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir.
**[40:58] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[41:00] ---**
We'll practice starting first.
**[41:03] ---**
Let's try the track start.
**[41:05] ---**
It's the one with one
foot forward and one foot back.
**[41:10] ---**
Don't bend your knees too much!
**[41:12] ---**
Pay attention to your reaction time!
**[41:14] ---**
Ready--
**[41:16] ---**
Next!
**[41:22] ---**
Ready--
**[41:32] ---**
It's no good.
**[41:33] ---**
There's too much time between the sound
of the whistle and when you jump.
**[41:36] ---**
You're not taking full
advantage of the track start.
**[41:40] ---**
Try crouching with your focus
under your belly button, around here.
**[41:45] ---**
Everyone try it.
**[41:46] ---**
That's where your body's center is.
How does it feel?
**[41:49] ---**
It feels more stable, doesn't it?
**[41:52] ---**
You'll feel more stable mentally, too.
**[41:54] ---**
Take a deep breath in that position
and let it all out at once.
**[41:58] ---**
Feel like you're exhaling all
of your tension here, too.
**[42:04] ---**
Then, the next part's important--
**[42:06] ---**
After you exhale, make your whole body
into ears as you take shallow breaths.
**[42:12] ---**
Ears?
**[42:13] ---**
Yup. Ears.
**[42:16] ---**
Like all the nerves in your body are
listening for the sound of the whistle.
**[42:19] ---**
This is hard...
**[42:21] ---**
Ears...
**[42:22] ---**
Well, it's hard to understand, huh? That's fine.
**[42:25] ---**
It is?
**[42:27] ---**
Yeah, in the end, you just have
to remember how it feels.
**[42:30] ---**
Okay, everyone, come with me.
**[42:34] ---**
Let's try *karuta* card swiping.
**[42:39] ---**
"Water"
**[42:40] ---**
Nao-*senpai*, what's this...?
**[42:43] ---**
I told you, it's *karuta* card swiping.
**[42:46] ---**
Put both hands on the mat
and lift your hips a little.
**[42:49] ---**
And then, whoever grabs
or swipes this cap first wins.
**[42:53] ---**
If you keep practicing this,
**[42:55] ---**
you'll develop a feel for what it means
to make your whole body into ears.
**[42:58] ---**
I see...
**[42:59] ---**
Okay, let's start with Haruka.
**[43:01] ---**
Makoto, you'll blow the whistle.
**[43:02] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[43:24] ---**
I win, huh?
**[43:30] ---**
Haru's the weakest of us all!
**[43:33] ---**
It's my turn next!
**[43:46] ---**
Monster.
**[43:47] ---**
--Hm?
--Nothing, sir.
**[43:48] ---**
Why is this person a manager...?
**[43:55] ---**
Okay, next let's practice the relay exchange.
**[43:58] ---**
We don't have much time before our
practice swim meet with Sano Middle School.
**[44:02] ---**
Haru, are you all right?
**[44:05] ---**
I'm fine.
**[44:10] ---**
Okay, everyone, get ready!
**[44:12] ---**
On your marks--
**[44:17] ---**
Get set--
**[44:36] ---**
Ikuya, you were too fast! It was a false start!
**[44:50] ---**
Too slow! You can't take
longer than in a flat start!
**[45:22] ---**
Haruka, you're late, too!
**[45:25] ---**
Haru?
**[45:29] ---**
His swimming's gotten sloppy.
**[45:31] ---**
Even though he swam normally yesterday.
**[45:47] ---**
Why is he falling apart
practicing for the relay?
**[45:55] ---**
That's because...
**[45:58] ---**
...we won the medley relay
in elementary school...
**[46:04] ---**
That was really the best team ever...
**[46:09] ---**
...so I think Haru thinks we can't
have a team better than that, sir.
**[46:16] ---**
I see.
**[46:18] ---**
You're okay, though, Makoto?
**[46:20] ---**
I'm sad, too, sir.
**[46:22] ---**
But Haru's swimming, too.
**[46:25] ---**
I see.
**[46:28] ---**
Do you like swimming, Makoto?
**[46:30] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[46:31] ---**
Really?
**[46:34] ---**
It's not because Haruka is here?
**[46:46] ---**
Sorry, that was a mean question.
**[46:50] ---**
No, sir...
**[46:51] ---**
Haru, you're almost there!
**[47:03] ---**
Haru!
**[47:06] ---**
Good job.
**[47:13] ---**
Oh, Haru, good job!
**[47:21] ---**
In a relay, you can reduce your time
a lot by improving your exchanges.
**[47:25] ---**
But right now, I'm sure you
are all faster as individuals.
**[47:37] ---**
Okay, that's it for today!
**[47:39] ---**
Go back and join the second
and third years to say bye!
**[47:41] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir...
**[47:43] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[47:50] ---**
Oh well, I'm sure it'll work out somehow.
**[47:55] ---**
We don't have to be good at exchanges.
**[47:58] ---**
As long as our individual times
are fast, it's not a problem.
**[48:01] ---**
Makoto.
**[48:04] ---**
Makoto.
**[48:07] ---**
Oh, sorry, Haru. What is it?
**[48:10] ---**
Did something happen?
**[48:11] ---**
Huh? No, nothing.
**[48:13] ---**
What, Makoto, you worried about the relay?
**[48:16] ---**
Huh? Oh, yeah, I am.
**[48:19] ---**
I said, it'll be fine! We still have
time until the practice meet, too!
**[48:23] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[48:25] ---**
Okay, Ikuya and I are this way.
**[48:29] ---**
How did we end up walking home together?
**[48:31] ---**
Because we live in
the same direction, of course.
**[48:35] ---**
Hasty idiot.
**[48:36] ---**
What did you say?!
**[48:37] ---**
It's not like I said anything weird!
**[49:04] ---**
Makoto.
**[49:05] ---**
What is it?
**[49:09] ---**
What happened?
**[49:14] ---**
I said it was nothing.
**[49:15] ---**
Don't lie to me!
**[49:20] ---**
It's the truth.
**[49:23] ---**
--Makoto?
--Really, it's nothing.
**[49:26] ---**
Anyway, Haru, see you tomorrow.
**[49:37] ---**
I'm home...
**[49:39] ---**
Oh, Haruka, welcome back.
**[49:42] ---**
There was a call from Dad's work today.
**[49:45] ---**
They said he was injured over there.
**[49:49] ---**
And?
**[49:50] ---**
Oh, it's not that bad.
**[49:52] ---**
It just sounds like it'll be hard for him
to get around until his injury heals,
**[49:56] ---**
so I thought I'd go help him.
**[49:59] ---**
For how long?
**[50:02] ---**
Maybe about a week, starting tomorrow?
**[50:04] ---**
Haruka, what do you want to do?
You have school, too.
**[50:08] ---**
I'm fine by myself for that long.
**[50:10] ---**
Really? I'm worried, though...
**[50:14] ---**
But, well, I'll also ask the
Tachibanas to look out for you.
**[50:16] ---**
'Kay.
**[50:44] ---**
Really?
**[50:45] ---**
It's not because Haruka is here?
**[50:51] ---**
It's not...
**[51:07] ---**
"Tachibana"
**[51:07] ---**
"Tachibana"
Oh, Haru-*chan*, good morning.
**[51:10] ---**
Makoto said he had class duty
and left early this morning.
**[51:14] ---**
Oh, Haru-*chan*, your mom's
already with your dad, right?
**[51:18] ---**
Come over to eat dinner starting tonight, okay?
**[51:21] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[51:50] ---**
Hey, Makoto!
**[51:52] ---**
Don't you have class duty today?
**[51:56] ---**
What's wrong? Saying you want
to swim so early in the morning.
**[52:01] ---**
It's because I love swimming.
**[52:05] ---**
Huh?
**[52:06] ---**
Well, I'm off to school.
**[52:08] ---**
R-Right.
**[52:11] ---**
What's up with him?
**[52:13] ---**
Huh? Haru, is that all you have for lunch?
**[52:17] ---**
Grilled mackerel...
**[52:18] ---**
It's a lot plainer than yesterday's.
**[52:21] ---**
My parents won't be home for a while.
**[52:22] ---**
What? How long's "a while"?
**[52:26] ---**
About a week.
**[52:27] ---**
What? Don't tell me you'll be
by yourself that whole time?
**[52:30] ---**
It's not a big deal.
**[52:32] ---**
Really? There's no way I could do it.
**[52:36] ---**
Me neither!
**[52:37] ---**
Haru's fine even by himself...
**[52:39] ---**
I'd die of starvation in three days.
**[52:41] ---**
You don't seem like you'd die even
if you were killed, though, Asahi.
**[52:45] ---**
Is that a compliment?
**[52:46] ---**
--Of course!
--It's bitter.
**[52:51] ---**
Okay, next are five intervals of 50 m freestyle.
**[52:56] ---**
Asahi, can you do it?
**[52:57] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[53:00] ---**
I'll be timing you, too.
**[53:01] ---**
Haruka, you first.
**[53:23] ---**
Next, Asahi.
**[53:25] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[53:47] ---**
Damn it...
**[53:49] ---**
Asahi! You don't have to push yourself!
**[53:51] ---**
Damn it!
**[53:52] ---**
Next, Makoto.
**[53:54] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[54:00] ---**
Hey, Haru...
**[54:02] ---**
How do you swim freestyle?
**[54:05] ---**
I thrust my fingers into the surface of the
water without fighting against it to make a cut
**[54:09] ---**
and then slide my body into it.
**[54:11] ---**
What does that mean?!
**[54:14] ---**
I used to be able to swim it...
**[54:19] ---**
Okay, next, swim your individual specialties.
**[54:22] ---**
Do five 100 m intervals,
one every three minutes.
**[54:24] ---**
I'll be timing these, too.
**[54:33] ---**
Let's race.
**[54:47] ---**
Jeez, those guys...
**[54:55] ---**
Who won?
**[54:57] ---**
Natsuya by a hair.
**[54:58] ---**
All right!
**[55:09] ---**
Makoto?
**[55:09] ---**
Makoto, didn't you swim more than ten lengths?
**[55:13] ---**
I-I did an extra one...
**[55:16] ---**
It won't help you get better
if you swim recklessly, you know.
**[55:20] ---**
I'm fine...
**[55:21] ---**
After I rest a little...
I'll swim... another interval...
**[55:30] ---**
How's it going?
**[55:31] ---**
Their individual times aren't bad.
**[55:33] ---**
The problem is their relay exchanges.
**[55:37] ---**
We'll be practicing the relay from now on.
**[55:39] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[55:43] ---**
Ready--
**[55:51] ---**
That was slow! You're being too careful!
**[55:56] ---**
Too fast! Watch closely!
**[56:02] ---**
Too slow! Are you even trying?
**[56:08] ---**
You're slow. Why do you think that is?
**[56:13] ---**
The exchanges... sir?
**[56:15] ---**
That's right. So why aren't
the exchanges going well?
**[56:20] ---**
Do you want to swim the relay?
**[56:24] ---**
We can just all swim in individual races.
**[56:28] ---**
I'm fine with just the individual freestyle.
**[56:30] ---**
Haru...
**[56:31] ---**
I told you! If you aren't in it,
then they won't be able to compete in the relay!
**[56:36] ---**
Everyone else also thinks
we should race individually.
**[56:38] ---**
That's true. In the first place,
we can't do a relay with this team.
**[56:42] ---**
Don't say that!
**[56:43] ---**
I don't feel the same way!
**[56:46] ---**
Then meet me halfway or something!
**[56:48] ---**
Asahi, your swimming is too self-centered!
**[56:51] ---**
Sh-Shut up!
**[56:52] ---**
Stop it!
**[56:53] ---**
Your exchanges aren't going well because
you're all just thinking about yourselves!
**[56:59] ---**
Individual races and relays are different!
**[57:01] ---**
Think carefully about what that means!
**[57:04] ---**
All of you, go cool your heads!
**[57:17] ---**
Asahi!
**[57:21] ---**
Nao-*senpai*...
**[57:23] ---**
Hey.
**[57:25] ---**
Natsuya was pretty harsh on you guys, huh?
**[57:28] ---**
No, he was just telling the truth, sir.
**[57:34] ---**
Senpai...
**[57:37] ---**
It's just as Ikuya said.
**[57:40] ---**
I'm only thinking about myself
when I'm swimming...
**[57:45] ---**
That's what I think, sir.
**[57:49] ---**
I see...
**[57:51] ---**
I mean, I can't think about the relay...
**[57:56] ---**
I'm scared...
**[57:57] ---**
What do you mean?
**[58:04] ---**
Senpai, I...
**[58:11] ---**
What if I end up not being able
to swim the other strokes, too?
**[58:40] ---**
Makoto...
**[58:41] ---**
Wh-What is it?
**[58:43] ---**
You were practicing
recklessly today, weren't you?
**[58:46] ---**
That's not true.
**[58:48] ---**
Your pace and number of
laps were both higher than usual.
**[58:50] ---**
I mean, we have a meet coming up.
**[58:54] ---**
It's because I like swimming.
**[58:59] ---**
Where did that come from, Makoto?
**[59:02] ---**
That reaction's mean, Haru.
**[59:04] ---**
It's just, because I like it,
it makes me want to swim a lot more.
**[59:16] ---**
Today...
**[59:18] ---**
Oh, what is it, Haru?
**[59:21] ---**
You go first.
**[59:23] ---**
'Kay...
**[59:25] ---**
Today, during practice, why did you say
it was fine to just be in individual races?
**[59:31] ---**
There was no real reason.
I just said what I thought.
**[59:35] ---**
I never liked relays to begin with.
**[59:37] ---**
You swam them in elementary school.
**[59:41] ---**
Things are different now.
**[59:43] ---**
I don't feel like swimming them anymore.
**[59:45] ---**
Rin was the one who convinced you
when you didn't want to do it, huh?
**[59:51] ---**
Don't talk about someone who isn't here.
**[59:53] ---**
You're right. Sorry...
**[59:56] ---**
What were you about to say earlier, Haru?
**[1:00:01] ---**
Why did you leave without me this morning?
**[1:00:07] ---**
I... had class duty today...
**[1:00:11] ---**
Sorry, I forgot to tell you.
**[1:00:13] ---**
You've never forgotten to tell me before.
**[1:00:17] ---**
Even if you say that...
**[1:00:20] ---**
I'm falling apart with all
this stuff I'm not used to...!
**[1:00:23] ---**
Didn't you say so yourself earlier?
That it's different now?
**[1:00:31] ---**
That's true...
**[1:00:48] ---**
Haru, you're coming over for dinner, right?
**[1:00:51] ---**
I'll eat at home today.
**[1:00:53] ---**
Huh? But your mom's not home, is she?
**[1:00:55] ---**
I'll figure something out on my own.
**[1:01:00] ---**
Thanks for the food.
**[1:01:10] ---**
I am a genius. I am a genius. I am a genius...
**[1:01:13] ---**
I am a ge... nius...
**[1:01:24] ---**
Why don't you change our training regimen?
**[1:01:26] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[1:01:33] ---**
Even if we don't practice exchanges,
**[1:01:35] ---**
if we can do our personal bests,
then the relay--
**[1:01:37] ---**
It's hard for you to match the others
because you're saying stuff like that.
**[1:01:41] ---**
Are you saying it's my fault?
**[1:01:43] ---**
Everyone else is thinking the same thing!
**[1:01:46] ---**
Don't talk badly about your friends
while being blind to your own faults.
**[1:01:50] ---**
A relay requires a team, doesn't it?
**[1:01:54] ---**
A team? Friends?
**[1:01:58] ---**
Are *you* one to talk?
**[1:02:01] ---**
Telling me to expand
my horizons and make friends...
**[1:02:06] ---**
You were the first one to push me aside!
**[1:02:11] ---**
Ikuya!
**[1:02:29] ---**
I wish the captain wouldn't skip practice.
**[1:02:33] ---**
Shut up...
**[1:02:35] ---**
Why don't you stop pushing him
away on purpose already?
**[1:02:38] ---**
If you're going to get that depressed about it.
**[1:02:40] ---**
How did you know?
**[1:02:42] ---**
It's not hard to figure out
what would make you depressed.
**[1:02:45] ---**
Shut up. This is fine.
**[1:02:48] ---**
If I don't do this, then he'll
just always be at my back.
**[1:02:54] ---**
How's Asahi?
**[1:02:56] ---**
He's scared.
**[1:02:58] ---**
But I think he'll be fine.
**[1:03:00] ---**
He's got an innate strength
and desire to improve himself.
**[1:03:03] ---**
--I see. He'll be a good captain, I'm sure.
--Ow...
**[1:03:08] ---**
What about Makoto?
**[1:03:09] ---**
He's wavering.
**[1:03:11] ---**
But I think he'll be stronger
once he breaks through.
**[1:03:15] ---**
And Haruka?
**[1:03:16] ---**
He's a prodigy.
**[1:03:18] ---**
You rarely see such a clean streamline.
**[1:03:22] ---**
But he starts falling apart
when it comes to the relay.
**[1:03:25] ---**
If only he could pay a little more
attention to his surroundings...
**[1:03:29] ---**
He's the same as Ikuya, huh?
**[1:03:33] ---**
What about Ikuya?
**[1:03:34] ---**
He swims in a way that minimizes fatigue.
**[1:03:37] ---**
That's why his pace doesn't drop even
when he swims long distances.
**[1:03:43] ---**
Isn't my little brother amazing?
**[1:03:46] ---**
Ikuya will get faster.
**[1:03:48] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[1:03:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:04:47] ---**
Now, we will begin the practice swim meet with
Sano Middle School and Iwatobi Middle School!
**[1:04:52] ---**
Let's do our best!
**[1:04:54] ---**
Nanase, Tachibana.
**[1:04:57] ---**
Um...
**[1:04:58] ---**
I'm Yamazaki Sosuke from Sano SC.
**[1:05:01] ---**
Sano SC?
**[1:05:02] ---**
The one Rin went to?
**[1:05:03] ---**
That's right.
**[1:05:04] ---**
Nanase, let's see who's faster
at the individual freestyle.
**[1:05:08] ---**
Later.
**[1:05:14] ---**
Ready--
**[1:05:16] ---**
Fight!
**[1:05:24] ---**
Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Makoto!
**[1:05:29] ---**
Good work!
**[1:05:33] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Ikuya!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Ikuya!
**[1:05:39] ---**
Good work!
**[1:05:44] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Asahi!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Asahi!
**[1:05:50] ---**
Good work!
**[1:05:54] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
**[1:06:01] ---**
--Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Haruka!
--Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Haruka!
**[1:06:07] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
**[1:06:13] ---**
Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Haruka!
**[1:06:16] ---**
Good work!
**[1:06:20] ---**
Nanase!
**[1:06:22] ---**
Are you underestimating me?!
**[1:06:23] ---**
Stop that, Sosuke!
**[1:06:40] ---**
Ready--
**[1:06:42] ---**
Fight!
**[1:06:43] ---**
Go! Go, go, go, go, Makoto!
**[1:06:56] ---**
They're not even trying.
**[1:07:04] ---**
Damn it!
**[1:07:06] ---**
Slowpoke.
**[1:07:15] ---**
Haru's so slow...
**[1:07:25] ---**
Good work!
**[1:07:30] ---**
Haru...
**[1:07:33] ---**
I'm fine.
**[1:07:45] ---**
Good work, everyone.
**[1:07:46] ---**
Rest well today.
Let's work hard again starting tomorrow.
**[1:07:49] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:07:50] ---**
Okay, that's all!
**[1:07:51] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[1:07:55] ---**
Hey, first years.
**[1:07:57] ---**
How was the relay?
**[1:08:00] ---**
The way you are now, you'll lose against
Sano no matter how many times you try.
**[1:08:05] ---**
They're functioning much better as a team.
**[1:08:08] ---**
He's right. You can't win like this.
**[1:08:11] ---**
You need to polish up
your teamwork by the official meet.
**[1:08:13] ---**
Individually, you're all definitely better.
**[1:08:25] ---**
Hey, Nanase Haruka!
**[1:08:27] ---**
Yamazaki-*kun*...
**[1:08:28] ---**
What was with that swimming?
Were you looking down on me?
**[1:08:31] ---**
This has nothing to do with you.
Stop complaining.
**[1:08:33] ---**
Stop messing around!
**[1:08:34] ---**
What did you say?
**[1:08:36] ---**
It's fine.
**[1:08:37] ---**
But--
**[1:08:38] ---**
I said, it's fine.
**[1:08:40] ---**
Have you ever thought about how
Rin must feel when he swims now?
**[1:08:45] ---**
Rin?
**[1:08:47] ---**
You think Rin would be satisfied
with that kind of swimming?!
**[1:08:50] ---**
I'm not swimming to make Rin happy.
**[1:08:55] ---**
Hey, you two, calm down a little...
**[1:08:59] ---**
Don't forget Rin's feeling
of wanting to swim with you.
**[1:09:03] ---**
If you swim half-heartedly, I won't forgive you!
**[1:09:09] ---**
A letter from Rin...
**[1:09:11] ---**
From Rin?
**[1:09:23] ---**
You're not going to read it?
**[1:09:26] ---**
No, I'm not.
**[1:09:42] ---**
I'm going in April.
**[1:09:46] ---**
I see. Finally leaving for Australia, huh?
**[1:09:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:09:50] ---**
You're aiming for the world,
like your late father, huh?
**[1:09:53] ---**
Well, I don't know.
**[1:09:55] ---**
Huh?
**[1:09:56] ---**
But I feel like if I jump into a place like that,
I can figure something out.
**[1:10:02] ---**
That's just like you.
**[1:10:03] ---**
Oh, I'll go to Iwatobi before that.
**[1:10:06] ---**
To Iwatobi?
**[1:10:08] ---**
Why?
**[1:10:09] ---**
At Iwatobi, I found someone
I want to swim a relay with.
**[1:10:24] ---**
At Iwatobi, Nanase swims freestyle,
so you'll swim butterfly then?
**[1:10:28] ---**
I guess so.
**[1:10:30] ---**
Oh, Sosuke, can you swim butterfly?
**[1:10:32] ---**
Better than you.
**[1:10:34] ---**
What's that about? Trying to make me mad?
**[1:10:45] ---**
Haru, come over for dinner tonight.
**[1:10:48] ---**
I'm fine. I'll eat at home.
**[1:10:54] ---**
Hey, it's dinnertime.
**[1:10:55] ---**
I'm not hungry!
**[1:11:00] ---**
I'm a genius. I'm a genius. I'm a genius...
**[1:11:05] ---**
Am I... really a genius...?
**[1:11:33] ---**
Haru.
**[1:11:35] ---**
"Rice" "Mackerel"
**[1:11:35] ---**
"Rice" "Mackerel"
Is that your dinner?
**[1:11:39] ---**
It has nothing to do with you, Makoto.
**[1:11:40] ---**
Yes, it does!
**[1:11:42] ---**
You haven't been eating the food
I've been bringing over, have you?
**[1:11:45] ---**
You were low on stamina today, too!
**[1:11:48] ---**
It's fine if you don't want to eat with me!
**[1:11:50] ---**
--But if you're going to say
you'll figure something out yourself--
--Be quiet!
**[1:11:53] ---**
Everyone's acting selfishly!
**[1:11:55] ---**
What about you? Changing like that!
**[1:11:58] ---**
It's painful watching how you've been recently!
**[1:12:02] ---**
What are you doing?
**[1:12:05] ---**
Why are you trying to force yourself
to become something you're not?
**[1:12:11] ---**
Haru...
**[1:12:14] ---**
You should just be yourself...
**[1:12:37] ---**
Be myself...
**[1:12:40] ---**
Makoto...?
**[1:12:41] ---**
Haru!
**[1:12:42] ---**
Come with me!
**[1:12:44] ---**
Let's go, Haru!
**[1:12:46] ---**
H-Hey!
**[1:13:46] ---**
This feels good...
**[1:13:55] ---**
I thought I'd be different
once I started middle school.
**[1:14:00] ---**
I thought I wanted to change.
**[1:14:02] ---**
But somehow, I ended up
feeling frantic, like I *had* to change.
**[1:14:07] ---**
Nao-*senpai* asked me if
it wasn't that I liked swimming,
**[1:14:11] ---**
but that I was swimming because of you...
**[1:14:15] ---**
I see...
**[1:14:19] ---**
I'd never thought about it until now,
**[1:14:22] ---**
and I couldn't tell anymore if I liked swimming,
**[1:14:24] ---**
or if I just wanted to be with you.
**[1:14:28] ---**
Is that why you were avoiding me?
**[1:14:30] ---**
I wasn't trying to avoid you, though.
**[1:14:33] ---**
It's just, I thought I'd have an even harder
time figuring out how I felt if I was with you,
**[1:14:37] ---**
so it was hard to be together...
**[1:14:40] ---**
But it just looked like I was avoiding you, huh?
**[1:14:44] ---**
I'm sorry, Haru.
**[1:14:48] ---**
It's fine. I was wrong, too.
**[1:14:53] ---**
So, did you find your answer?
**[1:14:56] ---**
I think it's both.
**[1:14:57] ---**
Both?
**[1:14:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:15:00] ---**
For a while, I lost confidence in my own
feelings and forced myself to try too hard,
**[1:15:07] ---**
but I'm really having fun now.
**[1:15:10] ---**
Just swimming like this feels so good.
**[1:15:16] ---**
I really do like swimming.
**[1:15:20] ---**
But I want you to be there, too, Haru.
**[1:15:31] ---**
I love swimming and Haru-*chan*,
so I want to swim with you!
**[1:15:58] ---**
I told you to stop adding "*chan*" to my name.
**[1:16:00] ---**
You did. Sorry.
**[1:16:03] ---**
And...
**[1:16:04] ---**
...of course I'll swim with you.
**[1:16:09] ---**
Right!
**[1:16:10] ---**
Let's go home, Makoto.
**[1:16:11] ---**
Oh, wait up, Haru!
**[1:16:21] ---**
Nao-*senpai*.
**[1:16:23] ---**
Makoto.
**[1:16:26] ---**
What did you want to talk about?
**[1:16:28] ---**
I really like Haru's swimming.
**[1:16:31] ---**
I don't deny that I swam
because Haru was there.
**[1:16:35] ---**
But I was really frustrated myself
when we lost the relay.
**[1:16:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:16:42] ---**
I... like swimming.
**[1:16:45] ---**
That's why...
**[1:16:46] ---**
That's why I definitely
want to win the next relay!
**[1:16:52] ---**
I see.
**[1:16:54] ---**
I just wanted to say that.
**[1:16:57] ---**
I'm sure you'll be able to win next time.
**[1:17:00] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:17:05] ---**
Everyone, let's go to practice!
**[1:17:08] ---**
Makoto...?
**[1:17:08] ---**
What's the matter?
You don't usually come here...
**[1:17:11] ---**
Oh, it's nothing much...
**[1:17:13] ---**
Really? It's fine, anyway.
**[1:17:15] ---**
Hey, Ikuya, we're going to practice!
**[1:17:18] ---**
I'm not going.
**[1:17:20] ---**
--Ikuya?
--Don't be stupid!
**[1:17:22] ---**
Let's practice for the relay!
**[1:17:23] ---**
We're gonna get revenge
on Sano Middle School!
**[1:17:28] ---**
Do it yourself.
**[1:17:30] ---**
I'm quitting the swim club.
**[1:17:32] ---**
Wh-What are you saying?!
**[1:17:35] ---**
Stop messing around!
**[1:17:36] ---**
Ikuya?
**[1:17:38] ---**
I can't laugh at a joke like that! Hey!
**[1:17:41] ---**
Shut up!
**[1:17:42] ---**
I'm quitting!
**[1:17:45] ---**
H-Hey! Wait up, Ikuya!
**[1:17:47] ---**
Hey, you two...!
**[1:17:49] ---**
C'mon, Haru, you too!
**[1:17:50] ---**
Again?
**[1:17:58] ---**
Wait!
**[1:18:00] ---**
Don't be so hasty!
**[1:18:04] ---**
Man, that hurts!
**[1:18:06] ---**
You idiot!
**[1:18:07] ---**
Just because you lost once...
**[1:18:08] ---**
Don't try to kill yourself
just because you lost once!
**[1:18:11] ---**
Like I would!
**[1:18:13] ---**
I wasn't trying to kill myself!
**[1:18:15] ---**
Jeez...
**[1:18:16] ---**
Are you stupid?
**[1:18:17] ---**
Move. You're in the way!
**[1:18:24] ---**
Why... did you all come?
**[1:18:27] ---**
Of course we came! We're worried!
**[1:18:31] ---**
Why?
**[1:18:34] ---**
Because we're a team.
**[1:18:41] ---**
Huh?
**[1:18:41] ---**
"Bando Swimming Club"
Huh?
**[1:18:42] ---**
"Bando Swimming Club"
Is that place...?
**[1:18:46] ---**
It's the SC my brother and I used to go to...
**[1:18:50] ---**
We said we wanted to
compete internationally together,
**[1:18:53] ---**
and worked hard.
**[1:18:55] ---**
But the second he became a
middle schooler, he pushed me away.
**[1:19:00] ---**
When I asked him why, he just told me
to expand my horizons and make friends.
**[1:19:06] ---**
I was getting in his way...
**[1:19:09] ---**
I just couldn't forgive him...
**[1:19:12] ---**
I don't think that's what he meant.
**[1:19:14] ---**
I think he just wanted you
to be able to do it on your own.
**[1:19:19] ---**
As a big brother like him,
I think it's a little sad, though.
**[1:19:25] ---**
Natsuya-*senpai* is worried about you.
**[1:19:29] ---**
He said it couldn't be helped if you hated him.
**[1:19:32] ---**
He sounded lonely.
**[1:19:35] ---**
There really isn't a big brother
who hates his little brother, Ikuya.
**[1:19:42] ---**
You're not alone.
**[1:19:46] ---**
I... always thought it was
fine as long as he was there...
**[1:19:50] ---**
As long as he was there,
**[1:19:53] ---**
I didn't need teammates or friends...
**[1:19:58] ---**
That's why...
**[1:20:00] ---**
...when he wasn't there anymore,
I swam by myself...
**[1:20:05] ---**
But actually... I was really lonely...
the whole time...
**[1:20:12] ---**
Lonely...
**[1:20:14] ---**
I thought, if I could be like Haru,
**[1:20:16] ---**
then maybe he would turn
and look at me again...
**[1:20:19] ---**
Is that why you were copying Haru?
**[1:20:22] ---**
You're so dumb, Ikuya.
**[1:20:24] ---**
You're fast enough
without having to do stuff like that.
**[1:20:28] ---**
Natsuya-*senpai* knows that, too.
**[1:20:32] ---**
Right, Haru?
**[1:20:38] ---**
Was I... lonely, too...?
**[1:20:42] ---**
Huh? What?
**[1:20:46] ---**
Ikuya...
**[1:20:47] ---**
You're not me.
**[1:20:49] ---**
You don't belong behind me, or Natsuya-*senpai*.
**[1:20:52] ---**
Line up next to the rest of us.
**[1:21:08] ---**
A-A towel...! A towel, a towel!
**[1:21:10] ---**
I don't have one?!
All right, wipe with this!
**[1:21:15] ---**
I don't need something dirty like that.
**[1:21:18] ---**
Wh-What do you mean, dirty?!
**[1:21:20] ---**
It's washed everyday--
**[1:21:32] ---**
All right! Let's go back to practice!
**[1:21:36] ---**
Yeah, let's go back.
**[1:21:38] ---**
Swim club, swim club...
**[1:21:43] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:21:58] ---**
I'm sorry, sir!
**[1:22:00] ---**
You guys have some nerve to skip practice...
**[1:22:02] ---**
It was my fault!
**[1:22:04] ---**
I ran out of school, and everyone came
after me because they were worried...
**[1:22:08] ---**
That's why we were late for practice.
**[1:22:11] ---**
I'm sorry, sir!
**[1:22:14] ---**
I ran off without thinking about anything!
**[1:22:16] ---**
I'm sorry, sir!
**[1:22:18] ---**
I should've said something
before going after them!
**[1:22:20] ---**
I'm sorry, sir!
**[1:22:22] ---**
Wh-What's the matter with you guys?
**[1:22:25] ---**
Did you hit your heads or something?
**[1:22:26] ---**
I might've, thanks to a tackle
from some stupid guy...
**[1:22:30] ---**
That was...! That was
your fault for being confusing!
**[1:22:34] ---**
It wasn't something that people
would normally get confused about.
**[1:22:36] ---**
Wha--?! What did you say?
**[1:22:38] ---**
Asahi, you're really a simple idiot.
**[1:22:42] ---**
Hey! Stop that!
**[1:22:44] ---**
Let go!
**[1:22:49] ---**
Big Bro, I've... been swimming
behind you until now...
**[1:22:56] ---**
But I'm going to stop now.
**[1:22:59] ---**
What you said before...
**[1:23:03] ---**
I think I get it now.
**[1:23:07] ---**
Ikuya...
**[1:23:09] ---**
Oh yeah, where's Nao-*senpai*?
**[1:23:13] ---**
Oh, Nao...? He's...
**[1:23:15] ---**
"Iwatobi Hospital"
Oh, Nao...? He's...
**[1:23:16] ---**
"Iwatobi Hospital"
**[1:23:17] ---**
Nao-*senpai*!
**[1:23:19] ---**
Everyone...
**[1:23:20] ---**
Nao-*senpai*, are you all right?
**[1:23:23] ---**
Jeez, I told Natsuya not to say anything...
**[1:23:26] ---**
But are you really all right, sir?
**[1:23:28] ---**
We heard you were having surgery...
**[1:23:32] ---**
It's not that big of a deal.
**[1:23:34] ---**
It looks like I'll be able
to leave right after, too.
**[1:23:38] ---**
What kind of surgery?
**[1:23:42] ---**
For my retinal detachment...
**[1:23:45] ---**
I'd been having a hard time
seeing since last fall,
**[1:23:49] ---**
but I thought it'd get better
eventually and left it alone.
**[1:23:53] ---**
In the end, I had to have surgery.
**[1:23:56] ---**
When...
**[1:23:57] ---**
When will you be able to return to practice?
**[1:24:00] ---**
"Swimming Training"
When will you be able to return to practice?
**[1:24:01] ---**
"Swimming Training"
I can go back to teaching you guys right away.
**[1:24:05] ---**
But I'll have to take a break
from competing for a while.
**[1:24:10] ---**
I won't be able to swim
in any more races this year.
**[1:24:17] ---**
Oh, hey, don't get all pessimistic.
**[1:24:20] ---**
I won't be able to race anymore
in middle school,
**[1:24:23] ---**
but I can still swim in high school.
**[1:24:26] ---**
Will you keep swimming, sir?
**[1:24:29] ---**
I started swimming when Natsuya
pretty much forced me to join the swim club,
**[1:24:34] ---**
but I really like it now.
**[1:24:38] ---**
Asahi...
**[1:24:40] ---**
When I was told that I wouldn't be able
to race anymore in middle school,
**[1:24:44] ---**
I was really depressed.
**[1:24:46] ---**
But I was able to recover my spirit
when I realized this wasn't the end.
**[1:24:50] ---**
That there was no use being impatient.
**[1:24:52] ---**
You'll also definitely be able
to swim freestyle again.
**[1:24:55] ---**
Just be patient, and do things without rushing.
**[1:24:57] ---**
Yessir!
**[1:24:59] ---**
Makoto, you're too worried about other people.
**[1:25:01] ---**
You can be more selfish, you know.
**[1:25:04] ---**
Also, I'm sure Haruka
thinks you meddle too much.
**[1:25:08] ---**
Huh? Really, Haru?
**[1:25:10] ---**
Ikuya, trust those around you more.
**[1:25:13] ---**
If you just stay inside your shell,
it'll be a waste, for swimming and for school.
**[1:25:19] ---**
It's fine, sir.
**[1:25:21] ---**
I... kind of understand now...
**[1:25:26] ---**
I see.
**[1:25:28] ---**
Haruka.
**[1:25:29] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[1:25:31] ---**
Stick to your convictions.
**[1:25:33] ---**
You're swimming your beloved freestyle
in the relay and individual races, right?
**[1:25:37] ---**
Don't be bound by the past.
**[1:25:39] ---**
Then, you'll be unbeatable.
**[1:25:44] ---**
Yes, sir...
**[1:25:47] ---**
I didn't want to do something uncool like
make the underclassmen take up my hopes,
**[1:25:54] ---**
but since I can't swim,
swim and win for me, too.
**[1:25:59] ---**
"Serizawa Nao"
**[1:26:00] ---**
"Serizawa Nao"
--Yes, sir!
--Hey, that's too loud!
**[1:26:05] ---**
Let's run home!
**[1:26:06] ---**
--Huh?
--Run?
**[1:26:08] ---**
I mean, I really feel like
moving my body right now!
**[1:26:11] ---**
So it can count as training, too!
**[1:26:12] ---**
--Let's run home!
--Hey!
**[1:26:15] ---**
Jeez. That's why guys with muscles
connected directly to their brains are...
**[1:26:18] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[1:26:21] ---**
Haru!
**[1:26:50] ---**
All right, I'm first pla--
**[1:26:54] ---**
Haru?!
**[1:26:54] ---**
Haru!
**[1:26:58] ---**
Haru!
**[1:26:59] ---**
Are you okay, Haru?!
**[1:27:00] ---**
Hey, Haru, what's wrong?
**[1:27:01] ---**
Do you feel sick?
**[1:27:02] ---**
Haru-*chan*!
**[1:27:03] ---**
--Get a hold of yourself, Haru-*chan*!
--I said... to stop calling me... "Haru-*chan*"...
**[1:27:05] ---**
--Hey, Haru-*chan*! Haru-*chan*!
Come on, Haru-*chan*!
--I said... to stop calling me... "Haru-*chan*"...
**[1:27:19] ---**
Wh-What is it...?
**[1:27:21] ---**
Haru!
**[1:27:23] ---**
It's because you're only eating mackerel!
**[1:27:25] ---**
Don't make us worry!
**[1:27:26] ---**
Haru, you passed out from low blood sugar.
**[1:27:29] ---**
That's what the doctor said.
**[1:27:31] ---**
Low blood sugar...?
**[1:27:35] ---**
Haru-*chan*, you haven't been
eating much, have you?
**[1:27:38] ---**
You can't do that. You have to eat properly!
**[1:27:41] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[1:27:42] ---**
I was so worried.
**[1:27:46] ---**
It's like... yeah.
**[1:27:50] ---**
So you're human, too, huh, Haru?
**[1:27:53] ---**
Huh?
**[1:27:55] ---**
What're you talking about?
**[1:27:57] ---**
Oh, you're awake?
**[1:27:59] ---**
You can leave once that IV is finished.
**[1:28:02] ---**
But you should rest for today just in case.
**[1:28:05] ---**
And make sure you eat enough.
**[1:28:08] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[1:28:09] ---**
Okay then, I'll pay and
then go grocery shopping.
**[1:28:13] ---**
You boys take Haru-*chan* home, okay?
**[1:28:15] ---**
Okay.
**[1:28:43] ---**
Haru! I brought over some food!
**[1:28:52] ---**
Why is everyone here?
**[1:28:54] ---**
Here, you can have this!
**[1:28:55] ---**
Excuse me!
**[1:28:58] ---**
Excuse me.
**[1:29:00] ---**
I'm gonna borrow your kitchen.
**[1:29:02] ---**
H-Hey, why...?
**[1:29:03] ---**
This is all your fault for not taking
care of yourself and passing out.
**[1:29:07] ---**
So to watch you and make sure
you don't get lazy and eat badly again,
**[1:29:12] ---**
we'll be staying here for a while.
**[1:29:14] ---**
What?
**[1:29:16] ---**
Your mom said she'll be back in three days.
**[1:29:19] ---**
So until then... Well, you should just give up.
**[1:29:21] ---**
Haru, don't worry.
**[1:29:23] ---**
We got the okay from everyone's
parents, including your mom.
**[1:29:27] ---**
Haru, just wait in the living room.
**[1:29:30] ---**
What about *my* okay?
**[1:29:31] ---**
Asahi, you're in the way there. Move.
**[1:29:34] ---**
Huh? Oh, sorry.
**[1:29:35] ---**
Wait, what're you doing?
**[1:29:36] ---**
Why are you cutting it
before peeling it, stupid Asahi?!
**[1:29:39] ---**
What are *you* doing?
With all these weirdly shaped pieces.
**[1:29:42] ---**
You're terrible at it!
**[1:29:44] ---**
Oh no, it's overflowing!
**[1:29:47] ---**
It's hot!
**[1:29:48] ---**
That's dangerous!
**[1:29:49] ---**
Sorry...
**[1:29:54] ---**
This is what we made, and this is from my mom.
**[1:29:57] ---**
Now, let's eat.
**[1:29:58] ---**
Thanks for the food!
**[1:30:00] ---**
Thanks for the food.
**[1:30:02] ---**
Here, Haru.
**[1:30:18] ---**
How is it? Is it good?
**[1:30:20] ---**
It's not bad.
**[1:30:22] ---**
Why're you hiding how you really feel?
**[1:30:24] ---**
You, too.
**[1:30:25] ---**
Did you say something?
**[1:30:26] ---**
Nope, nothing.
**[1:30:28] ---**
Anyway, you always act without thinking, Asahi!
**[1:30:30] ---**
You really are like a child!
**[1:30:32] ---**
You had that weird
misunderstanding earlier today, too.
**[1:30:34] ---**
What? *You're* the one
who was crying like a little kid!
**[1:30:37] ---**
Wh--?! That... That was...
**[1:30:41] ---**
That wasn't anything like that!
**[1:30:42] ---**
Oh, yes, yes, is that right?
**[1:30:44] ---**
What's with that weird way of talking?!
**[1:30:45] ---**
Come on, stop that.
**[1:30:48] ---**
Oh, he laughed!
**[1:30:49] ---**
No, I didn't.
**[1:30:50] ---**
No, I saw it! You definitely laughed just now!
**[1:30:52] ---**
I saw it, too!
**[1:30:54] ---**
It was your mistake.
**[1:30:55] ---**
I definitely saw it!
**[1:30:56] ---**
Aw, you can be cute sometimes, too, huh?
**[1:30:59] ---**
Shut up. Eat quietly.
**[1:31:04] ---**
It's like an overnight school trip.
**[1:31:06] ---**
Hurry up and go to sleep. You're too loud.
**[1:31:09] ---**
Don't talk like a parent.
**[1:31:11] ---**
I can't sleep!
**[1:31:13] ---**
We have school tomorrow, too.
**[1:31:17] ---**
I feel like swimming right now!
**[1:31:21] ---**
Even though you looked like you were
dying every time you swam until recently.
**[1:31:30] ---**
I feel like...
**[1:31:32] ---**
...I'll be okay now!
**[1:31:33] ---**
Huh?
**[1:31:34] ---**
It's like, the instant I saw
Haru's freestyle, I thought,
**[1:31:38] ---**
there's a guy who's way, way better than I am,
**[1:31:41] ---**
and my heart was swallowed up.
**[1:31:44] ---**
And after thinking about a lot of stuff,
**[1:31:47] ---**
recently, I've felt like that's true.
**[1:31:50] ---**
How did that help you recover?
**[1:31:53] ---**
When I saw Haru pass out today,
**[1:31:55] ---**
I realized that this guy's
just a regular human, too.
**[1:31:58] ---**
Isn't that obvious?
**[1:32:04] ---**
I guess I'm pretty prideful,
**[1:32:07] ---**
but looking at that part of
Haru made me feel a lot better.
**[1:32:11] ---**
I felt like I could accept myself
even if I'm not that good.
**[1:32:15] ---**
*But*! I can't just let Haru keep beating me!
**[1:32:20] ---**
I will definitely beat you one day!
**[1:32:24] ---**
Do what you want.
**[1:32:25] ---**
Yup, that's what I'll do!
**[1:32:27] ---**
Well, I guess you really
thought it through, for you.
**[1:32:29] ---**
Are you making fun of me?
**[1:32:31] ---**
Now, now.
**[1:32:32] ---**
But you really are amazing to be able
to reexamine yourself carefully like that.
**[1:32:36] ---**
Reexamine myself...
**[1:32:39] ---**
...I think first, you should
reexamine yourself carefully.
**[1:32:44] ---**
Oh, I see.
**[1:32:45] ---**
That's what that guy was talking about.
**[1:32:48] ---**
"That guy"?
**[1:32:49] ---**
There was a guy who
gave me advice at the library.
**[1:32:52] ---**
What was he like?
**[1:32:53] ---**
He wore glasses!
**[1:32:54] ---**
What? That's it?
**[1:32:56] ---**
How are we supposed to know
what he's like with just that?
**[1:33:03] ---**
In elementary school, Haru and I
experienced an amazing medley relay.
**[1:33:08] ---**
Makoto...
**[1:33:10] ---**
At Iwatobi SC?
**[1:33:13] ---**
Yeah. There was also a kid called Nagisa,
**[1:33:16] ---**
and a kid called Rin, whose name
came up at the practice swim meet.
**[1:33:21] ---**
I thought that was the best team
I'd swim with in my life.
**[1:33:25] ---**
We won, too.
**[1:33:27] ---**
But then we graduated,
and everyone suddenly became separated...
**[1:33:32] ---**
I thought we'd never get
a team better than that, so...
**[1:33:34] ---**
That's why I wasn't very
optimistic about the relay...
**[1:33:39] ---**
I don't know if it means
anything coming from me,
**[1:33:41] ---**
but I noticed that the two of you
weren't really serious about the relay.
**[1:33:48] ---**
Sorry...
**[1:33:50] ---**
I don't get it.
**[1:33:51] ---**
Huh?
**[1:33:52] ---**
If it was such a great team, then why are
you looking at it in such a pessimistic way?
**[1:33:56] ---**
I'd feel bad for that team, then.
**[1:33:59] ---**
It's fine if that team's the best.
**[1:34:02] ---**
But that's not fair to you two...
**[1:34:04] ---**
Why?
**[1:34:05] ---**
I think my relay team at
my old SC was the best, too!
**[1:34:10] ---**
But I want to make the best team here, too!
**[1:34:16] ---**
Makoto, Haru. It's no use
trying to reason with an idiot.
**[1:34:20] ---**
Are you picking a fight?!
**[1:34:22] ---**
I thought that I was fine
as long as I could swim by myself--
**[1:34:25] ---**
that I just needed to get a personal best.
**[1:34:27] ---**
But I want to swim a relay
with this team right now.
**[1:35:18] ---**
"Mackerel Acqua Pazza"
**[1:36:19] ---**
"Iwatobi"
**[1:36:20] ---**
It's finally time for the official meet!
**[1:36:22] ---**
Your times today will guide you
for the rest of the year.
**[1:36:26] ---**
Give it your all.
**[1:36:27] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:36:29] ---**
Iwatobi Middle School, fight!
**[1:36:30] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:36:32] ---**
Ready--
**[1:36:34] ---**
Go!
**[1:36:36] ---**
Well, here I go!
**[1:36:37] ---**
Okay!
**[1:36:42] ---**
"Iwatobi Middle School"
**[1:36:42] ---**
"Iwatobi Middle School"
It's almost time for the relay, huh?
**[1:36:44] ---**
How's it going? Think you can do it?
**[1:36:46] ---**
--Yessir!
--Yes, sir.
**[1:36:47] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[1:36:49] ---**
What about you, Haruka?
**[1:36:51] ---**
The relay we swam in elementary school
was too special to me and Makoto...
**[1:36:56] ---**
That's why I didn't intend on swimming
in a relay with any other team.
**[1:37:01] ---**
And?
**[1:37:03] ---**
But now things have changed a little...
**[1:37:06] ---**
I want to swim a relay with this team right now.
**[1:37:13] ---**
Good. Do your best.
**[1:37:15] ---**
Make sure you win!
**[1:37:17] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:37:18] ---**
All right, let's go!
**[1:37:20] ---**
You're gonna fall if you get
too carried away, stupid Asahi.
**[1:37:24] ---**
It's because there are moments like this
**[1:37:26] ---**
that I can never quit teaching.
**[1:37:28] ---**
That's fine, but hurry up
and come back as a competitor.
**[1:37:33] ---**
I'm getting tired of waiting.
**[1:37:36] ---**
I'll be back someday.
**[1:37:45] ---**
Don't show me an unsightly race
like the one from the other day.
**[1:37:50] ---**
"Boys' Locker Room"
**[1:37:51] ---**
"Boys' Locker Room"
I won't lose.
**[1:38:00] ---**
Oh, it's Haru-*chan*'s team!
**[1:38:09] ---**
We will now have the
boys' 400 m medley relay.
**[1:38:16] ---**
Makoto, you can do it!
**[1:38:17] ---**
We're leaving the start to you!
**[1:38:18] ---**
Right!
**[1:38:23] ---**
Ready--
**[1:38:28] ---**
Go!
**[1:38:32] ---**
All right! It's a great start!
**[1:38:34] ---**
Makoto, fight!
**[1:38:35] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Makoto!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Makoto!
**[1:38:41] ---**
Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Makoto!
**[1:38:44] ---**
--Tachibana!
--Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Makoto!
**[1:38:45] ---**
--You can do it!
--Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Makoto!
**[1:38:47] ---**
Makoto's in front!
**[1:38:48] ---**
Go, Mako-*chan*!
**[1:38:59] ---**
He's fast.
**[1:39:02] ---**
Hey, don't lose the vontage Makoto got for us.
**[1:39:06] ---**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[1:39:08] ---**
And it's not "vontage,"
it's "advantage." Stupid Asahi.
**[1:39:15] ---**
Ikuya!
**[1:39:29] ---**
He's gotten better...
**[1:39:32] ---**
Go, Ikuya!
**[1:39:44] ---**
Ikuya, fight!
**[1:39:46] ---**
Asahi, you can do it!
**[1:39:48] ---**
Just swim right back here.
**[1:39:51] ---**
Haru, Makoto.
**[1:39:53] ---**
I'm glad I'm swimming with this team.
**[1:39:56] ---**
It's really fun!
**[1:39:58] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:40:09] ---**
Asahi!
**[1:40:12] ---**
Asahi, go!
**[1:40:14] ---**
Hurry up and get back here, stupid Asahi!
**[1:40:16] ---**
Asahi's start got better, too.
**[1:40:19] ---**
He's completely in sync with you.
**[1:40:21] ---**
Not that I want that.
**[1:40:29] ---**
Oh? Not bad.
**[1:40:36] ---**
--Haru.
--Haru, we'll be waiting here for you.
**[1:40:40] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:40:49] ---**
Haruka!
**[1:40:54] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
**[1:40:59] ---**
Fight! Fight, fight, fight, fight, Haruka!
**[1:41:12] ---**
Haru!
**[1:41:28] ---**
Haru!
**[1:41:43] ---**
Haru!
**[1:41:45] ---**
That was the best!
**[1:41:46] ---**
--It was amazing!
--Go, us!
**[1:41:52] ---**
Wow, we got first!
**[1:41:53] ---**
"2 Sano Middle School"
"1 Iwatobi Middle School"
Wow, we got first!
**[1:41:56] ---**
--Yes!
--We did it!
**[1:42:00] ---**
Yes, yes, yes!
**[1:42:05] ---**
Amazing! It was amazing!
**[1:42:26] ---**
Dear Sosuke--
**[1:42:29] ---**
How are you?
**[1:42:30] ---**
I'm all right, I guess.
**[1:42:32] ---**
I've finally gotten used to living here.
**[1:42:35] ---**
At first, there was the language barrier,
**[1:42:38] ---**
so I did my best with gestures and pictures,
**[1:42:41] ---**
but no one understood me!
**[1:42:43] ---**
Like the day I drew a picture of a cherry tree,
and someone brought me a mop!
**[1:42:47] ---**
It really made me want to go back to Japan.
**[1:42:50] ---**
And there are kangaroos just on the street!
**[1:42:53] ---**
I wanted to touch them,
but I was told not to because they kick.
**[1:42:58] ---**
Everyone at the swimming club here is fast.
**[1:43:02] ---**
I lose every day.
**[1:43:04] ---**
I wish I could say that I win every day,
**[1:43:07] ---**
but everyone's bigger than Makoto,
**[1:43:10] ---**
and I can feel the difference in power.
**[1:43:13] ---**
I got put in the slowest class for now.
**[1:43:17] ---**
I feel frustrated every day.
**[1:43:20] ---**
Maybe I'll get used to it eventually,
**[1:43:22] ---**
and what frustrates me
now will stop feeling frustrating.
**[1:43:26] ---**
That scares me.
**[1:43:29] ---**
But I will never give up!
**[1:43:31] ---**
I'll definitely get faster!
**[1:43:33] ---**
I'll get faster than anyone!
**[1:43:35] ---**
I haven't forgotten a thing about that relay.
**[1:43:40] ---**
Even now, that guy swims in front of me.
**[1:43:45] ---**
I want to hurry up
and be able to swim like Haru!
**[1:43:53] ---**
"swims in front of me."
"be able to swim like Haru!"
**[1:43:56] ---**
"swim like Haru"
**[1:44:00] ---**
Rin.
**[1:44:02] ---**
I, too...
**[1:44:04] ---**
I, too, want to swim like you...
**[1:44:09] ---**
That letter was addressed to you.
**[1:44:14] ---**
It was to you, wasn't it?
**[1:44:16] ---**
Look at it carefully.
**[1:44:18] ---**
The part where he wrote "that guy" was erased.
**[1:44:20] ---**
"that guy"
"y̶o̶u̶"
**[1:44:21] ---**
It's faint, but it used to be "you."
**[1:44:25] ---**
"that guy"
"y̶o̶u̶"
**[1:44:26] ---**
Since it's Rin, he was probably going
to send it to you but got embarrassed,
**[1:44:31] ---**
but since he went through the trouble
of writing it, he sent it to me, instead.
**[1:44:36] ---**
It really is something he would do.
**[1:44:37] ---**
"that guy"
"y̶o̶u̶"
**[1:44:41] ---**
When I read it, I thought it was weird.
**[1:44:43] ---**
Since he mentioned Tachibana, too.
**[1:44:46] ---**
More than anything,
the content was too one-sided.
**[1:44:49] ---**
It was like he wasn't expecting an answer.
**[1:44:53] ---**
Knowing my personality,
he wouldn't have written it like that to me.
**[1:44:58] ---**
I'll let you keep that letter.
**[1:45:00] ---**
Really?
**[1:45:01] ---**
I'm pretty sure that's what
Rin would've wanted me to do.
**[1:45:04] ---**
I'll beat you individually next time.
**[1:45:05] ---**
Later.
**[1:45:10] ---**
Haru!
**[1:45:13] ---**
Let's go home!
**[1:45:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:45:27] ---**
*Shining on the clouds flowing by*
**[1:45:32] ---**
*The sky starts to blur*
**[1:45:35] ---**
*I visualized screaming*
**[1:45:40] ---**
*As I listened to the sound of the wind*
**[1:46:06] ---**
*A tear ran down*
**[1:46:08] ---**
*My cheek tinged with fever*
**[1:46:15] ---**
*I already understood*
**[1:46:19] ---**
*The scars I bore unawares*
**[1:46:26] ---**
*One day I gazed*
**[1:46:28] ---**
*At my clenched fist*
**[1:46:30] ---**
*Toward days superimposed on each other*
**[1:46:34] ---**
*Deep inside of*
**[1:46:36] ---**
*A single breath of mine*
**[1:46:39] ---**
*I was yearning, hold me back*
**[1:46:45] ---**
*Where is the blue that we got to fly?*
**[1:46:50] ---**
*While starting to accept the shining tomorrow*
**[1:46:56] ---**
*We each shared our own skies*
**[1:47:03] ---**
*Where is the light that we want to dive?*
**[1:47:07] ---**
*Toward the future we lost*
**[1:47:12] ---**
*Even if our joined hands got separated*
**[1:47:19] ---**
*The place where we're firmly tied*
**[1:47:31] ---**
*Getting angry at not getting what I wanted*
**[1:47:36] ---**
*Kicking it away*
**[1:47:40] ---**

*The water is alive.*
**[00:06] Haruka**
* Once you dive in, it will immediately*
* bare its fangs and attack.*
**[00:13] Haruka**
*But there's nothing to fear.*
**[00:18] Haruka**
*After all, this water has been tamed.*
**[00:21] Haruka**
*It's been defanged and neutered.*
**[00:24] Haruka**
*For me...*
**[00:26] Haruka**
It's not enough.
**[01:58] Makoto**
Uh...
**[02:00] Makoto**
Ah, there it is!
**[02:03] Makoto**
I'm heading out!
***SIGN*** Stormy Dive-Dash!
**[02:04] Makoto**
Good morning, Tamura-san.
**[02:05] Tamura**
Good morning, Makoto-chan.
Come to pick him up again?
**[02:09] Tamura**
Here, take this.
**[02:11] Makoto**
Oh, that's okay!
**[02:12] Makoto**
Thank you...
**[02:17] Makoto**
Hey, now... Oh, all right.
**[02:21] Makoto**
It's already spring.
**[02:25] Makoto**
Not again.
**[02:28] Makoto**
Excuse me.
**[02:33] Makoto**
I'm coming in.
**[02:38] Makoto**
Good morning, Haru-ch—
**[02:40] Haruka**
Don't call me -chan.
**[02:44] Makoto**
Right, sorry.
**[02:49] Makoto**
Figures...
**[02:50] Haruka**
What?
**[02:51] Makoto**
Nothing. I guess you didn't get to
swim much this winter, did you?
**[02:56] Makoto**
We don't have time to drag our feet, Haru.
**[02:58] Haruka**
I'm done changing.
**[02:59] Makoto**
Good. We'd better run to the sta...tion...
**[03:03] Makoto**
Why are you putting on an apron?!
**[03:05] Haruka**
Because I'm going to grill
mackerel and eat it, obviously.
***SIGN*** Samezuka Academy
**[03:08] Makoto**
I just said we don't have the time!
**[03:14] Rei**
Haruka-senpai and Makoto-senpai are late.
**[03:18] Rei**
And aren't you overeating, Nagisa-kun?
**[03:21] Nagisa**
Want some, Rei-chan?
**[03:22] Rei**
I'm fine, thank you.
**[03:24] Rei**
If you eat all that, you won't have
room for lunch, you know.
**[03:28] Nagisa**
I'll be fine!
**[03:29] Makoto**
Nagisa! Rei!
**[03:31] Makoto**
Sorry we kept you waiting!
***SIGN*** Samezuka Academy
**[03:39] Mikoshiba**
All right!
**[03:41] Mikoshiba**
What? Isn't there anyone
here who can beat me?
**[03:44] Mikoshiba**
No need to hold back, now!
**[03:44] Gou**
Guys! Over here!
**[03:46] Makoto**
This is the third-years' send-off race?
**[03:48] Gou**
Yep.
**[03:50] Makoto**
Looks like a vicious battle.
**[03:52] Nagisa**
What kind of harrowing race is it?
**[03:54] Rin**
A 100m race, 100 times.
**[03:56] Rin**
It's a Samezuka tradition to continue
until someone beats the captain.
**[03:59] Haruka**
Rin!
**[04:01] Rin**
Hey. Thanks for coming.
**[04:03] Nagisa**
Have you raced him yet, Rin-chan?
**[04:05] Rin**
No, not yet.
**[04:07] Rei**
But logically speaking, racing 100 meters
**[04:09] ---**
100 times can't be possible.
**[04:10] Rin**
Captain Mikoshiba defies logic.
**[04:14] Rei**
I see.
**[04:16] Mikoshiba**
Hey! You guys came to watch, too?
**[04:18] Mikoshiba**
How about a race to mark the occasion?
**[04:20] Makoto**
Who, us?
**[04:21] Rei**
But we're not even on your team...
**[04:24] Mikoshiba**
Hey, don't be shy!
**[04:25] Mikoshiba**
Let's go, Samezuka versus Iwatobi,
400m freestyle medley relay!
**[04:28] Mikoshiba**
Matsuoka, you're swimming in this one!
**[04:30] Rin**
Sure.
**[04:31] Mikoshiba**
Who else wants in?
**[04:33] Nitori**
M-Me!
**[04:34] Mikoshiba**
All right! Come on over, Nitori!
**[04:36] Makoto**
W-Wait a second...
**[04:36] Mikoshiba**
Okay, who else is on board?
Nakagawa, how about you?
**[04:37] Rei**
We already told you, we don't...
**[04:39] Nakagawa**
Yes! Absolutely!
**[04:40] Makoto**
When did he...
**[04:41] Gou**
Oh, my!
**[04:42] Gou**
His triceps are staring at me!
**[04:44] Rei**
He was wearing his swimsuit again.
**[04:46] Makoto**
Guess there's no helping it.
**[04:48] Nagisa**
You said it.
**[04:48] Rei**
Huh?
**[04:49] Nagisa/Makoto**
Actually...
**[04:50] Rei**
Why do you have those?!
**[04:52] Makoto**
I had a feeling Haru would
want to swim, so...
**[04:55] Rei**
Traitors!
**[04:57] Mikoshiba**
I told you, there's no need to be shy!
**[04:59] Mikoshiba**
Nitori...
**[05:00] Nitori**
Right!
**[05:00] Rei**
You're mistaken! I'm honestly not being shy—
**[05:00] Mikoshiba**
Take him.
**[05:01] Nitori**
This way.
**[05:04] Gou (announcer)**
*The Samezuka versus Iwatobi freestyle relay!*
**[05:06] Nagisa**
There, there.
**[05:07] Rei**
Don't you "there, there" me!
**[05:08] Gou**
*Ready!*
**[05:10] Gou**
*Set!*
**[05:12] Swim team**
Go! Yeah!
**[05:15] Haruka**
Makoto's in the lead.
**[05:16] Nagisa**
Yeah! He's pulling ahead!
**[05:18] Rei**
Makoto-senpai's front crawl is fast, too!
**[05:23] Nagisa**
I'm not losing to you, Ai-chan!
**[05:25] Nitori**
Please don't call me that!
**[05:27] Nagisa**
Well, I'll be going ahead.
**[05:32] Rin**
Ai...
**[05:34] Rin**
Just keep calm.
**[05:35] Nitori**
Okay!
**[05:38] Rin**
You're bending your knees too much, dummy.
**[05:40] Mikoshiba**
I'll go next.
**[05:41] Rin**
Huh?
**[05:42] Mikoshiba**
I'll leave the last leg to you.
**[05:44] Rin**
Captain...
**[05:46] Ama-chan**
Ryugazaki-kun can finally swim freestyle now?
**[05:49] Gou**
Nope, he can't.
**[05:52] Ama-chan**
But isn't this a freestyle relay?
**[05:54] Gou**
Yes.
**[05:55] Rei**
I only swim butterfly!
**[05:58] Ama-chan**
Huh? What does that mean? Is he okay?
**[06:00] Gou**
It's freestyle, so the butterfly is fine!
**[06:02] Mikoshiba**
Interesting. I'll just have to
swim butterfly too, then!
**[06:06] Makoto**
He's closing the gap!
**[06:08] Nagisa**
Rei-chan's goggles are slipping again!
**[06:11] Nagisa**
You can do it, Rei-chan!
**[06:12] Makoto**
Rei!
**[06:13] Nitori/Nakagawa**
Fight, Captain!
**[06:15] Rin**
This is our first freestyle relay
against you guys, isn't it?
**[06:18] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[06:19] Rin**
Sorry, but we'll be winning today, Haru.
**[06:22] Haruka**
I don't care about winning.
**[06:26] Rin**
Jeez...
**[06:28] Nagisa**
Go!
**[06:28] Makoto**
Rei!
**[06:30] Nitori**
Captain! You're almost there!
**[06:35] Nagisa**
Man!
**[06:36] Nagisa/Rei**
So frustrating!
**[06:38] Rei**
We were so close!
**[06:40] Makoto**
But it sure was fun.
**[06:42] Haruka**
It was.
**[06:43] Mikoshiba**
All of you
**[06:45] Mikoshiba**
have really worked hard.
**[06:47] Mikoshiba**
Today marks the retirement
of us third-years.
**[06:50] Mikoshiba**
All of us leave here with no regrets.
**[06:52] Mikoshiba**
However!
**[06:53] Mikoshiba**
Your peaceful days won't continue long!
**[06:56] Mikoshiba**
This April, a fearsome new
face will enter this club!
**[06:58] Mikoshiba**
So enjoy the rest of your lives while you can!
**[07:03] Rei**
What kind of villain is he supposed to be?
**[07:05] Mikoshiba**
Matsuoka!
**[07:06] Rin**
Yes, sir.
**[07:07] Mikoshiba**
Starting tomorrow, you are the new captain.
**[07:14] Mikoshiba**
Take good care of my team!
**[07:19] Rin**
Yes, sir...
**[07:22] Nagisa**
Rin-chan's the new captain?!
**[07:23] Rei**
He doesn't really seem like
the captain type to me...
**[07:26] Gou**
What are you talking about?
**[07:27] Gou**
However you look at him, my brother's
muscles are totally captain-class!
**[07:30] Rei**
Just his muscles?!

like none you have ever seen!
**[07:43] Haruka**
Amazing!
**[07:44] Gou**
You're too easily impressed, Haruka-senpai.
**[07:46] Nagisa**
We should've made a
recruitment video like that.
**[07:47] Gou**
Come on now, Haruka-senpai.
**[07:50] Gou**
Are you listening to me, Haruka-senpai?!
**[07:50] Rei**
As if we had the time or skill
to do something like that.
**[07:53] Makoto**
At this point, all we can do
**[07:55] ---**
is handle this our own way.
**[07:58] Makoto**
Have faith in Gou-chan!
**[08:01] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[08:01] Rei**
Right!
**[08:01] Film Club**
We look forward to welcoming new members!
**[08:04] Announcer**
Next, the swim club will introduce itself.
**[08:08] Gou**
Our swim club began last spring,
**[08:10] ---**
when we repaired the pool and
started up the club ourselves.
**[08:15] Gou**
I am the swim club's manager, Matsuoka.
**[08:17] Gou**
And this is...
**[08:18] Gou**
Our treasurer!
**[08:25] Nagisa**
Second-year, Hazuki Nagisa!
***SIGN*** Come, All! To the Swim Club!
**[08:27] Nagisa**
My specialty is the breaststroke!
**[08:29] Nagisa**
My charm point is my calf muscles, for sure!
**[08:32] Gou**
Our vice-captain!
**[08:37] Haruka**
Third-year, Nanase Haruka.
**[08:39] Haruka**
My specialty is freestyle.
**[08:41] Haruka**
My charm point is...
**[08:42] ---**
my triceps.
**[08:44] Gou**
Our secretary!
**[08:49] Rei**
Second-year, Ryugazaki Rei!
**[08:51] Rei**
My specialty is the butterfly stroke!
**[08:53] Rei**
My charm points are my deltoids and biceps!
**[08:57] Gou**
And finally, our captain!
**[09:02] Makoto**
Third-year, Tachibana Makoto.
**[09:04] Makoto**
My specialty is the backstroke!
**[09:06] Makoto**
My charm point is
**[09:08] ---**
my back muscles!
**[09:09] Gou**
We look forward to welcoming new
members with fabulous muscles!
**[09:16] Haruka**
Why isn't anyone coming?
**[09:17] Rei**
I told you we shouldn't have
done the "charm point" thing!
**[09:22] Gou**
Don't pretend you weren't enjoying it!
**[09:25] Makoto**
Now, now...
**[09:26] Makoto**
But the swim club really does have
a disadvantage in this season.
**[09:30] Makoto**
We can't even have people
come to watch us swim.
**[09:32] Nagisa**
Does anyone have any other
ideas for recruiting members?
**[09:36] Haruka**
Offer a year's worth of Iwatobi-chans.
**[09:38] Gou**
No one wants that.
**[09:39] Haruka**
Draw a comic strip on our
recruitment posters.
**[09:41] Gou**
We tried that last year.
**[09:43] Nagisa**
We could parade through the
school halls in our swimsuits.
**[09:45] Gou**
That could work!
**[09:46] Rei**
No way!
**[09:48] Gou**
Don't be stingy, Rei-kun.
**[09:49] Rei**
That's not the issue!
**[09:51] Nakagawa**
Last twenty-five, go!
**[09:52] Rin**
In order to join our swim club,
**[09:54] ---**
your time needs to be better
than the Samezuka standard.
**[09:57] Rin**
We'll time you now, so swim
using your fastest stroke.
**[10:01] First-Years**
Yes, sir!
**[10:03] Rin**
*Hang on a minute!*
**[10:05] Rin**
*Why me?*
**[10:06] Mikoshiba**
*Because I chose you.*
**[10:08] Rin**
* But it wouldn't be right*
* for me to be captain—*
**[10:10] Mikoshiba**
*Quit your whining.*
**[10:12] Mikoshiba**
* Who was it that said he'd take*
* responsibility for his actions?*
**[10:15] Rin**
*I just...*
**[10:16] Mikoshiba**
* Weren't you going to make*
* our team the best around?*
**[10:19] Mikoshiba**
*Matsuoka...*
**[10:21] Mikoshiba**
*I want to entrust this team to you.*
**[10:24] Nitori**
Captain?
**[10:25] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[10:27] Rin**
Ai...
**[10:28] Rin**
Can you not call me that?
**[10:30] Nitori**
Huh?
**[10:31] Rin**
Just call me what you did before.
**[10:32] Nitori**
Sure, I can do that.
**[10:34] Nitori**
Anyway, there sure are a lot of
people hoping to join this year!
**[10:38] Rin**
That reminds me, Captain
Mikoshiba said we'd be
**[10:40] ---**
getting a really strong new member.
**[10:42] Nitori**
Do you think he's one of them?!
**[10:44] Rin**
You'd better work hard, or you
might get surpassed by a first-year.
**[10:47] Nitori**
R-Right!
***SIGN*** Faculty Office
**[10:48] Ama-chan**
You want to open the pool?
**[10:50] Nagisa**
That's right! Just a little early this year!
**[10:52] Makoto**
We really need it to attract new members!
**[10:54] Ama-chan**
I understand that, but it's still
too cold to swim, isn't it?
**[10:58] Haruka**
I can swim.
**[10:59] Rei**
I'll just think of it as winter swimming!
**[11:02] All**
Please help us!
**[11:03] Ama-chan**
Huh?! Er...
**[11:05] Ama-chan**
In that case...
**[11:08] Ama-chan**
How about Coach Sasabe's swimming club?
**[11:10] Ama-chan**
If I recall, it's opening soon, isn't it?
**[11:12] Sasabe**
Hm...
**[11:13] Sasabe**
There we go!
**[11:15] Sasabe**
Oh? Were you hoping to join the club?
**[11:18] Sasabe**
Unfortunately, we're not
opening until next month.
**[11:20] Sasabe**
But if you want to fill out an application...
**[11:22] Sousuke**
No, I just...
**[11:27] Sasabe**
You're not here to join the club?
**[11:30] Sousuke**
This used to be the Iwatobi
Swimming Club, right?
**[11:34] Sasabe**
Ah, so you've heard of it.
**[11:37] Sasabe**
It went under, and was about
to be made into a health resort.
**[11:40] Sasabe**
But last year, in the middle of the demolition,
**[11:43] ---**
the company handling the
construction went bankrupt, too.
**[11:46] Sasabe**
So I used my grandpa's squid
fishing boat as collateral
**[11:50] ---**
to buy what was left of it,
and rebuilt the club myself!
**[11:53] Sasabe**
Those boys taught me with
that race last year
**[11:57] Sasabe**
that I need to be a little more
wild and free with the way
**[12:00] ---**
I live my life, too...
**[12:02] Sasabe**
Huh?
**[12:03] Makoto**
Coach Sasabe's new club
would be great, but I think
**[12:06] Makoto**
we need to show potential
members our pool first.
**[12:09] Rei**
Indeed. Even if we don't have approval
to fill it with water yet.
**[12:13] Gou**
Don't worry!
**[12:14] ---**
I'm sure Amakata-sensei
will take care of it!
**[12:17] Nagisa**
Then I'm sure we'll get
lots of new members!
**[12:19] Nagisa**
Right, Haru-chan?
**[12:21] Haruka**
I just hope people who
want to swim will join.
**[12:23] Nagisa**
That again?
**[12:25] Rei**
But it's true.
**[12:27] ---**
If we don't have more
members by our third year,
**[12:30] Rei**
we won't officially be
recognized as a club.
**[12:32] Rei**
Worse yet, we won't be able
to compete in relays!
**[12:34] Rei**
We need to be more aware of the urgency!
**[12:37] Sasabe**
What? You want new members?
**[12:39] Sasabe**
Just put up good results
and they'll come to you!
**[12:42] Rei**
That's easier said than done!
**[12:44] Makoto**
So what was it you wanted
to talk about, Coach Sasabe?
***SIGN*** The History of the Iwatobi Swimming Club
**[12:48] Sasabe**
I'm saying I'll help you put
up some good results!

**[12:57] Sasabe**
You betcha! And it's called...
**[12:59] Sasabe**
Iwatobi SC Returns!

you can use it before we open.

For today's public tournament,
only our new members will participate—

**[13:40] Rin**
In short,

**[13:43] ---**
a better feel for competitions here.
**[13:44] ---**
That will be all.

captain-like, wasn't he?

"Give it your best, or I'll

**[13:53] Nagisa**
I thought he'd say something like that.
**[13:55] Makoto**
He wouldn't say that.
**[13:57] Sasabe**
You kids are late!
**[13:58] Nagisa**
Huh? You're swimming too, Goro-chan?
**[14:00] Sasabe**
You bet I am!
**[14:01] ---**
There are races for the general public, too.
**[14:04] Ama-chan**
This feels so much more relaxed
than the prefectural tournament!
**[14:06] Ama-chan**
It's a nice change, isn't it?
**[14:08] Gou**
Though it's a bit lacking in
terms of muscles on display.
**[14:11] Rei**
I'm disappointed there's no relay event.
**[14:14] Nagisa**
Me, too.
**[14:15] Nagisa**
But at least there'll be one at prefecturals!
**[14:25] Haruka**
Trying to ambush me here, Rin?
**[14:27] Rin**
I've been waiting for you, Haru.
**[14:31] Rin**
We're racing in adjoining lanes again.
**[14:32] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[14:34] Rin**
You guys didn't get to swim
much over the winter, did you?
**[14:38] Rin**
I can give you a handicap if you want.
**[14:42] Haruka**
There's no need.
**[14:44] Haruka**
Even if I couldn't swim, I kept training.
**[14:48] Rin**
You're actually pretty fired up, aren't you?
**[14:52] Rin**
Okay. Let's see the fruits of all that—
**[14:54] Kid A**
I'm definitely gonna win!
**[14:55] Kid B**
You mean *I'm* gonna win!
**[14:56] Kid A**
You're not gonna beat me!
**[15:02] Rin**
Since we can't all race in a relay today,
**[15:04] Rin**
this showdown is between you and me.
**[15:06] Haruka**
I don't care about my time.
**[15:09] Rin**
Are you still saying stuff like that?
**[15:14] Rin**
Even if you don't care about winning or times,
**[15:16] Rin**
you think no one can beat you
in the water, don't you?
**[15:21] Rin**
I'm gonna make that cold
face of yours heat up.
**[15:27] Nagisa**
Haru-chan and Rin-chan are up next!
**[15:29] Gou**
Onii-chan!
**[15:31] Makoto**
Haru!
**[15:32] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[15:33] Announcer**
Ready...
**[15:39] Nitori**
They're both so fast!
**[15:52] Makoto**
Rin's pulling ahead...
**[15:54] Nagisa**
Don't give in, Haru-chan!
**[15:56] Makoto**
Haru!
**[15:56] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[16:26] Rei**
They're on a whole different
level from the other swimmers!
**[16:29] Nagisa**
Haru-chan's amazing. He's
catching up to Rin-chan!
**[16:42] Makoto**
They came in at...
**[16:43] Nitori**
...the exact same time!
**[16:44] Announcer**
*The swimmers in lanes 4 and 5,
Nanase-kun and Matsuoka-kun,*
**[16:49] Announcer**
*have just set a tournament record.*
**[16:50] Rin**
Haru...
**[17:00] Rin**
See? You're all fired up now.
**[17:04] Haruka**
Not really...
**[17:08] Gou**
You were amazing, Haruka-senpai!
**[17:11] Gou**
You broke your own record
and tied with my brother!
**[17:14] Ama-chan**
All of you did an excellent job!
**[17:17] Sasabe**
If only it hadn't been so
long since I last swam...
**[17:19] Ama-chan**
Don't worry, Sasabe-san.
**[17:21] ---**
There's this famous saying...
**[17:22] Sasabe**
When I went into the turn,
my feet hit the wall and...
**[17:23] Haruka**
Rin!
**[17:25] Rin**
Go on ahead.
**[17:26] Members**
Okay.
**[17:28] Rin**
What's up?
**[17:29] Haruka**
I need to talk to you.
Come to Iwatobi High later.
**[17:32] Rin**
What for?
**[17:34] Rin**
Are we settling the score there?
**[17:37] Haruka**
You'll know when you come.
**[17:45] Rin**
Hey, Haru! I'm here!
**[17:48] Rin**
Come out!
**[17:49] Rin**
Oh, come on...
**[17:52] Rin**
He asked me here, and where is he now?
**[17:58] Rin**
Huh? Looks like it's open.
**[18:06] Nagisa**
Bring him!
**[18:08] Rei/Gou**
Skree!
**[18:10] Rin**
What the... Hey! Let me go!
**[18:11] Rin**
What— Hey!
**[18:11] Haruka**
Come along quietly.
**[18:12] Nagisa**
Haru-chan, the sentence ending!
**[18:14] Haruka**
Come along quietly, moge.
**[18:16] Rin**
Don't "moge" me! Let go!
**[18:18] Gou**
Oh, no! Don't take my brother away!
**[18:21] Rin**
Gou! You're here, too?!
**[18:22] Makoto**
Rin, stop kicking!
**[18:25] Rin**
Will you guys give it a—
**[18:35] Haruka**
When we were in grade
school, you once said
**[18:38] Haruka**
you wanted to swim in
a pool of cherry blossoms.
**[18:40] Makoto**
The idea was to open the pool early
so we could attract new members.
**[18:45] Nagisa**
Thanks to Ama-chan's hard work!
**[18:48] Rei**
Though it still resulted
in zero new members.
**[18:50] Makoto**
But since we got to see our pool
of cherry blossoms as a result,
**[18:53] Makoto**
we wanted to show it to you, too.
**[18:55] Rin**
You guys...
**[18:59] Rei**
Rin-san, go for it.
**[19:02] All**
Go for it!
**[19:04] Haruka**
I guess I'll let you swim
in it just this once.
**[19:06] Rin**
Well, I do want to swim in it,
but it's still kind of cold.
**[19:10] Gou**
Onii-chan, take that stuff off!
**[19:13] Rin**
Hey! Quit pushing!
**[19:13] Rei**
No need to hold back!
**[19:14] Nagisa**
He's right! You don't have to be bashful!
**[19:16] Rin**
I'm not being bashful!
**[19:17] Rin**
Hey, seriously, stop—
**[19:21] Nagisa**
It's cold!
**[19:24] Nagisa**
It doesn't look like it's going to stop soon.
**[19:27] Rei**
After all our preparations!
**[19:29] Rei**
Now we can't...
**[19:30] Gou**
Could it be that you attract
the rain, Rei-kun?
**[19:33] Rei**
I do not!
**[19:35] Makoto**
The weather report didn't say
anything about rain today.
**[19:43] Rin**
That reminds me...
**[19:45] Rin**
Have you two thought about what
you'll do after graduation?
**[19:50] Haruka**
Not really.
**[19:51] Rin**
You can't not think about it.
**[19:55] Makoto**
You're aiming to swim at
the world level, right, Rin?
**[19:58] Rin**
Yeah. Since I wasted some time getting here,
**[20:02] ---**
nationals this summer will be my last chance.
**[20:05] Rin**
If I can make it to nationals,
I could get scouted.
**[20:07] Rin**
I'll set new records there
and grab hold of my dream!
**[20:15] Rin**
Haru, Makoto...
**[20:17] Rin**
What do you guys plan to do?
**[20:21] Makoto**
I...
**[20:24] ---**
haven't really decided yet.
**[20:34] Rin**
More like you haven't
even thought about it.
**[20:40] Nagisa**
Aww, all the cherry blossoms fell.
**[20:44] Rei**
We'll have to clean the pool again.
**[20:54] Makoto**
Haru, we should go, too.
**[20:56] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[21:06] Male Student B**
So I saw this on TV yesterday...
**[21:09] Male Student A**
Matsuoka, thanks for lending me this.
**[21:12] Rin**
Sure.
**[21:13] Teacher**
Take your seats.
**[21:15] Teacher**
Today, I'd like to introduce
a new transfer student.
**[21:19] Teacher**
This is Yamazaki Sousuke-kun,
***SIGN*** Yamazaki
**[21:21] ---**
who is transferring here from Tokyo.
***SIGN*** Sousuke
**[21:23] Teacher**
Please make him feel welcome, class.
**[21:33] Rin**
Sousuke?
**[23:12] Haruka**
The monster Iwa-Moge suddenly
appears before Rin!
**[23:15] Haruka**
To rescue the kidnapped Gou,
Rin is reborn as a cyborg—
**[23:18] Rei**
Haruka-senpai, please stop with that!
**[23:20] Nagisa**
Hey, hey, I want to know who that transfer
student who came to Samezuka is!
**[23:24] Haruka**
Next episode, "The Stroke
of a Chance Encounter!"
***SIGN*** The Stroke of a Chance Encounter!
**[23:27] Haruka**
The true identity of Samezuka's
**[23:28] ---**
powerful new swim team member
will soon be revealed, moge!
**[23:30] Rei**
Enough with the Iwa-Moge
monster speak already!
**[23:33] Nagisa**
Haru-chan, are you actually enjoying this?

**[00:00] Gou**
Huh?
**[00:21] Rin**
It's been a while, Sousuke!
**[00:22] Sousuke**
Yeah. Five years, isn't it?
**[00:24] Rin**
Why would you transfer schools
at this time of year, though?
**[00:28] Sousuke**
You're one to talk.
**[00:29] Sousuke**
You're the one who transferred
**[00:31] ---**
in the middle of winter when
we were in sixth grade!
**[00:34] Rin**
*I've decided to go to Iwatobi.*
**[00:38] Rin**
*I found some guys there I want to*
**[00:41] ---**
*swim relays with!*
**[00:43] Rin**
Yeah...
**[00:45] ---**
I guess I did.
**[00:47] Rin**
So what brings you to Samezuka?
**[00:49] Rin**
Weren't you already going
**[00:51] ---**
to a school in Tokyo with a strong swim team?
**[00:53] Sousuke**
Well, I have my reasons.
**[00:57] Rin**
What're you being so vague
for? That's not like you.
**[00:59] Sousuke**
I just thought I'd spend my last
year as a high school swimmer
**[01:02] ---**
in my hometown, enjoying it my way,
**[01:05] Sousuke**
since I already know where I'll
be going after high school.
**[01:08] Rin**
Wait a minute.
**[01:09] Rin**
You're not going to quit swimming, are you?
**[01:15] Sousuke**
I got scouted.
**[01:18] Rin**
Huh?
**[01:20] Rin**
Damn, man! That's awesome!
**[01:22] Sousuke**
C'mon, Rin, cut it out!
**[01:26] Male Student**
Tachibana, can I borrow
your eraser for a sec?
**[01:29] Makoto**
Sure. Here.
**[01:31] Male Student**
Thanks!

I knew it!
**[03:23] Rei**
All we can do is give an amazing
relay performance at nationals
**[03:26] Rei**
and have our club's name resound
throughout the country!
**[03:28] Nagisa**
We can't wait 'til summer!
**[03:31] Nagisa**
At this rate, we'll have no choice but to
**[03:33] Nagisa**
run naked through the halls, Rei-chan!
**[03:35] Rei**
Where did the swimsuits go?!
**[03:37] Nagisa**
What's more important to you: getting naked,
**[03:39] Nagisa**
or getting zero new members?
**[03:41] Rei**
I don't want either!
**[03:42] Rei**
And can we drop the "naked" thing?
**[03:44] Nagisa**
Okay, then let's write a song
for a swim club commercial!
**[03:46] Rei**
Who's going to write it?!
**[03:47] Nagisa**
Rei-chan?
**[03:48] Rei**
And who's going to sing it?!
**[03:49] Nagisa**
Rei-chan?
**[03:51] Gou**
Come to think of it, where are
Haruka-senpai and Makoto-senpai?

**[03:54] Ama-chan**
Umm...
**[03:55] Ama-chan**
What does this mean?
**[03:58] Haruka**
Nothing. It means what it says.
**[04:01] Ama-chan**
It means what it says?
**[04:05] Ama-chan**
Nanase-kun, you want to
continue swimming, don't you?
**[04:09] Ama-chan**
Someone with your athletic abilities
**[04:10] ---**
could probably enter the sports world.
**[04:13] Ama-chan**
Why don't you think a little more about this?
**[04:20] Ama-chan**
There's a famous saying that goes:
**[04:21] Ama-chan**
"Give it a try. You won't know until you do."
**[04:28] Girl A**
Sorry for the wait!
**[04:30] Girl B**
Can we stop at the convenience store?
**[04:31] Girl A**
Okay!
**[04:38] Sugimoto**
Gather round!
**[04:39] Sousuke**
I'm Yamazaki Sousuke.
**[04:41] Sousuke**
I transferred here from Tokitsu
High School in Tokyo.
**[04:44] Sugimoto**
Yamazaki is ranked in the top ten
in the country for butterfly.
**[04:48] Members**
Wow! That's amazing!
**[04:48] Sugimoto**
Learn what you can from him.
**[04:50] Members**
Yes, sir.
**[04:51] Sugimoto**
I'm the advisor, Sugimoto.
**[04:53] Sugimoto**
You already know Matsuoka, yes?
That saves us some time.
**[04:56] Sugimoto**
Matsuoka, I'll leave it to
you to show him around.
**[04:59] Rin**
Yes, sir.
**[05:00] Rin**
Welcome to the team, Sousuke.
**[05:03] Sousuke**
Thanks. Glad to be here.
**[05:08] Nitori**
So this is a nationally ranked
swimmer's perfect body!
**[05:12] Nitori**
N-Nice to meet you! I'm Nitori
Aichiro, second-year.
**[05:16] Nitori**
Welcome to our team!
**[05:23] Sousuke**
Nice to meet you, too.
**[05:25] Nitori**
Isn't Tokitsu High School's swim team
one of the best in the country?
**[05:28] Nitori**
That's amazing!
**[05:29] ---**
Just what I'd expect of Rin-senpai's friend!
**[05:31] Nitori**
Does that mean you're friends with
Nanase-san and the others, too?
**[05:35] Rin**
This guy was my buddy from Sano Elementary.
**[05:37] Rin**
He's got nothing to do with Haru.
**[05:39] Sousuke**
I know about Nanase.
**[05:41] ---**
I once raced him at a tournament.
**[05:44] Sousuke**
My entire body buzzed with
energy when I swam with him.
**[05:47] Sousuke**
I see why you're so taken with him.
**[05:51] Rin**
Wha—
**[05:53] Rin**
For crying out loud...
**[05:54] Nitori**
You two really are close, aren't you?
**[06:00] Nitori**
He's fast...
**[06:01] Rin**
Raising his upper body unusually
high above the surface
**[06:04] Rin**
reduces water resistance during
the recovery, making him faster.
**[06:07] Rin**
That, and his flexible shoulders.
**[06:08] ---**
No muscle training can give you those.
**[06:11] Rin**
That Sousuke, he's gonna do well for us.
**[06:13] Nitori**
Oh!
**[06:14] Nitori**
Then that amazing new member
**[06:16] ---**
Captain Mikoshiba mentioned is...
**[06:19] Ama-chan**
Indoor pools really are great.
**[06:22] Ama-chan**
You don't have to worry about the sun's rays!
**[06:24] Gou**
But we only get to use it during
the cooler seasons, Sensei.
**[06:28] Gou**
Anyway, this year, we're winning regionals
and going to nationals for sure!
**[06:33] Nagisa**
If we make it to nationals, this
place will become famous, too.
**[06:35] Nagisa**
I bet you'll get a big boost in membership!
**[06:37] Nagisa**
I know!
**[06:38] Nagisa**
If that happens, Mako-chan and
Haru-chan can start working here!
**[06:41] Sasabe**
Dummy!
**[06:42] ---**
I didn't rebuild the club to
give you guys a place to work!
***SIGN*** Iwatobi SC Returns Grand Opening Event
**[06:55] Rei**
What's this poster?
**[06:57] Sasabe**
Ah! As you can see,
**[06:58] ---**
it's a poster advertising our grand opening.
**[07:01] Sasabe**
You guys can help me put them up!
**[07:03] Makoto**
Splash Fest?
**[07:05] Rei**
You wrote the English wrong.
**[07:07] Gou**
So what kind of event is it?
**[07:10] Sasabe**
I'm planning all kinds of fun stuff.
**[07:13] Nagisa**
Oh, like what?
**[07:14] Sasabe**
For instance...
**[07:15] Sasabe**
A kickboard race that even kids
who can't swim can take part in!
**[07:18] Sasabe**
A "how far can you swim without
taking a breath" water race!
**[07:20] Sasabe**
And finally, the Armored Sidestroke!
**[07:23] Rei**
The Armored Sidestroke?
**[07:24] Nagisa**
I've heard of that!
**[07:25] Nagisa**
Back in the Warring States Period,
**[07:27] ---**
samurai used this traditional
swimming technique
**[07:30] Nagisa**
to cross rivers without
removing their armor!
**[07:32] Rei**
I don't understand that.
**[07:33] Sasabe**
I still can't come up with a
good main event, though.
**[07:36] Sasabe**
Do you have any ideas?
**[07:38] Nagisa**
This sounds fun! Let's all think of ideas!
**[07:42] Sasabe**
I'd like to ask for your help
as well, Amakata-sensei.
**[07:44] Sasabe**
If you wouldn't mind maybe
singing in a bathing suit or...
**[07:47] ---**
Whoa, hot!
**[07:48] Ama-chan**
Sasabe-san...
**[07:50] Sasabe**
Forget I said anything!
**[07:58] Gou/Nagisa**
Done at last!
**[08:00] Nagisa**
Now we just need an exciting main event!
**[08:02] Gou**
How about a doggy paddle race?
**[08:03] Nagisa**
That sounds fun!
**[08:04] Rei**
Then how about a contest for the most
beautiful form in the butterfly stroke?
**[08:08] Rei**
We can call it "The Butterfly of Beauty"!
**[08:11] Gou**
Maybe we could also have a muscle contest...
**[08:13] Rei**
Would you get over the muscles already?!
**[08:18] Makoto**
What about you, Haru?
**[08:19] Makoto**
Do you have any ideas?
**[08:22] Haruka**
How about a relay?
**[08:26] Makoto**
Are you serious, Haru?
**[08:27] Nagisa**
That would definitely be exciting!
**[08:29] Rei**
Let's do it, Haruka-senpai!
**[08:31] Gou**
It would make a great showpiece
for the tournament!
**[08:34] Makoto**
So we'd need opponents
to swim against, right?
**[08:37] Rin**
Splash Fest?
**[08:38] Rei**
In Iwatobi SC...
**[08:40] Nagisa**
...Returns!
**[08:42] Rin**
Uh, I don't follow you.
**[08:44] Makoto**
Hello, Rin?
**[08:45] Rin**
Is that you, Makoto?
**[08:47] Makoto**
Yeah. Actually...
**[08:50] Rin**
So you're saying you want
us to be your opponents?
**[08:53] Makoto**
You think you could?
**[08:54] Rin**
You guys...
**[08:56] Nagisa/Gou**
Please?
**[08:58] Rin**
Honestly...
**[08:59] Rin**
How carefree can those guys be, huh?
**[09:03] Sousuke**
You complain, but you'll
do it for them, right?
**[09:09] Rin**
But who's gonna swim with me?
**[09:12] Rin**
It's not an official event, so I can't
really approach the team with it.
**[09:15] Sousuke**
I don't mind doing it.
**[09:17] Rin**
Huh? Really?
**[09:20] Sousuke**
Sure. But...
**[09:24] Sousuke**
I'd like to swim the freestyle leg.
**[09:26] Rin**
That's fine with me...
**[09:27] ---**
But isn't the butterfly your specialty?
**[09:31] Sousuke**
I just feel like swimming freestyle.
**[09:37] Nitori**
I want to do it, too!
**[09:39] Nitori**
It's a good chance for me to get
more competitive experience!
**[09:42] Nitori**
Also, I think Nakagawa-kun
said he wanted to do it, too!
**[09:47] Rin**
Thanks. That's a big help.
**[09:49] Nitori**
Nakagawa-kun will do backstroke,
so I'll do breaststroke.
**[09:52] Rin**
Are you really okay with the breaststroke?
**[09:55] Nitori**
To be honest, it's my goal to
specialize in two strokes, like you.
**[09:59] Nitori**
So I've been training hard
in the breaststroke.
**[10:02] Nitori**
I want to be able to swim on the
**[10:05] ---**
same team as you with pride, Senpai.
**[10:12] Rin**
*My team, huh?*
**[10:15] Rin**
*I can't comment on Haru and the other guys.*
**[10:18] Rin**
*I haven't built a solid team of my own yet.*
**[10:29] Haruka**
Want to run along the beach today?
**[10:31] Makoto**
Sounds good.
**[10:32] ---**
Want to extend our distance a little, to prep for the tournament?
**[10:35] Haruka**
Okay.
**[10:41] Makoto**
Hey, Haru...
**[10:42] Haruka**
What?
**[10:43] Makoto**
What are you going to do?
**[10:45] Haruka**
About what?
**[10:46] Makoto**
The thing Rin mentioned.
**[10:48] Rin**
*What do you guys plan to do?*
**[10:52] Haruka**
As long as I can swim, I don't care where.
**[10:59] Makoto**
That's just like you, Haru.
**[11:02] ---**
Over here!
**[11:03] ---**
Here you go.
**[11:04] Rin**
They're late...
**[11:07] Nitori**
I've got bad news!
**[11:09] Rin**
What happened?
**[11:10] Nitori**
N-Nakagawa-kun got called out by a teacher,
**[11:13] ---**
and said he couldn't come anymore.
**[11:15] Rin**
Huh?! What did he do?
**[11:18] Nitori**
I guess he got an unbelievable
score on yesterday's test.
**[11:22] Nitori**
He has to take a make-up exam right now.
**[11:24] Rin**
What's an "unbelievable" score?
**[11:26] Sousuke**
So it's just the three of us?
**[11:28] Nitori**
What should we do?
**[11:30] ---**
We can't swim a medley relay like this!
**[11:34] Ran**
Piggyback ride!
**[11:37] Makoto**
You're heavy...
**[11:39] Ren**
Wait for me, Onii-chan!
Ah, I forgot my swimsuit!
**[11:44] Ran**
Ren's always late for everything!
**[11:46] Ren**
Haru-chan!
**[11:47] Makoto**
Sorry for the wait, Haru.
**[11:49] Haruka**
Are Ran and Ren coming, too?
**[11:51] Makoto**
They said they want to
be in the kickboard race.
**[11:53] Ran**
You swim with us too, Haru-chan!
**[11:55] Haruka**
I only swim freestyle.
**[11:57] Ran**
Then I'll swim freestyle, too!
**[11:58] Ren**
No fair! I will, too!
**[12:00] Rin**
Isn't there anyone else who
can swim backstroke for us?
**[12:04] Nitori**
Not on such short notice.
**[12:05] Nitori**
Since there's no school today,
no one's in the dorm, either.
**[12:10] Sousuke**
I can swim two legs of the relay.
**[12:12] Sousuke**
It's just a local event race, right?
**[12:14] Sousuke**
We don't have to stick that
strictly to the rules.
**[12:17] Rin**
It's not an official event,
**[12:19] ---**
but if we're gonna do it,
I don't want to do it half-assed.
**[12:22] Boy 1**
Hey! Mikoshiba!
**[12:24] All**
Mikoshiba?
**[12:25] Momotarou**
Yeah! I'll be right there!
**[12:27] Boy**
You're late!
**[12:29] Momotarou**
Sorry, sorry!
**[12:31] Rin**
Hey, I've only ever known one person
with the surname Mikoshiba.
**[12:36] Nitori**
What a coincidence. It's the same with me.
**[12:38] Rin**
Hold on a sec!
**[12:42] Momotarou**
Wh-What do you think you're doing?!
**[12:44] Rin**
Are you, by any chance,
Mikoshiba Seijuurou's brother?
**[12:48] Momotarou**
What? You know my older brother?
**[12:51] Rin**
*Bingo! He's the captain's...*
**[12:53] Nitori**
*...younger brother.*
**[12:54] Nitori**
Then you can swim the backstroke, correct?
**[12:57] Momotarou**
Of course I can. It's actually my specialty.
**[13:00] Momotarou**
I won a ton of races back in middle school!
**[13:03] Momotarou**
There's not a single person in my
hometown who hasn't heard of me!
**[13:06] Momotarou**
By the way, the nickname they gave me is...
**[13:09] Momotarou**
The Sea of Japan's...
**[13:11] Momotarou**
...Sea Otter!
**[13:14] Rin**
Sea... Otter...
**[13:16] Nitori**
Could this be what the
captain meant when he said
**[13:19] Nitori**
someone amazing was joining our team?
**[13:21] Rin**
Yeah. He didn't mean Sousuke.
**[13:23] Rin**
He must have meant him.
**[13:25] Momotarou**
My brother's always saying
whatever the heck he wants.
**[13:28] Momotarou**
I've told him over and over that
I'm not joining the swim team.
**[13:31] Boy**
Mikoshiba!
**[13:32] Momotarou**
Coming!
**[13:34] Momotarou**
Gotta go. Time to pick up chicks!
**[13:37] Momotarou**
Man, you never quit!
**[13:39] ---**
I'm telling you, I have no intention
of joining the swim team!
**[13:42] Momotarou**
Girls don't like guys on the swim team!
**[13:44] Rin**
I'm not asking you to join the swim team.
**[13:47] Rin**
I'll take you to a great place.
**[13:49] Rin**
You want girls to like you, right?
**[13:52] Nagisa**
Hey! Haru-chan! Mako-chan!
**[13:55] Rei**
Good morning!
**[13:56] Makoto/Haruka**
Morning!
**[13:57] Ren**
Big Brother Butterfly!
**[13:59] Ran**
Butterfly! Butterfly!
**[14:00] Rei**
Um...
**[14:01] Nagisa**
Oh! Rei-chan, you're so popular!
**[14:04] Rei**
I'm honored.
**[14:05] Gou**
Here's today's program.
**[14:07] Makoto**
Thank you.
**[14:08] Ama-chan**
Looks like lots of events are planned.
**[14:10] Nagisa**
I can't wait!
**[14:11] Momotarou**
You liar!
**[14:12] Momotarou**
You said you were taking me someplace
with lots of cute girls!
**[14:16] Rin**
Quit whining! There *are* plenty here!
**[14:17] Rin**
See? Cute girls!
**[14:19] Momotarou**
I've been tricked, Nii-chan!
**[14:23] Rin**
Where'd Sousuke go, anyway?
**[14:25] Nitori**
Huh? He was just here.
**[14:27] Rin**
Damn, if it's not one thing, it's another.
**[14:29] Momotarou**
Let go!
**[14:30] Rin**
Quit flailing!
**[14:30] Momotarou**
I'm going home! I'm going—
**[14:32] Gou**
You're late!
**[14:34] Gou**
Onii-chan!
**[14:38] Rin**
Hey, Gou.
**[14:40] Gou**
Good morning!
**[14:42] Rin**
Good morning.
**[14:42] Momotarou**
Wait a second!
**[14:44] Momotarou**
You're...
**[14:46] Momotarou**
cute!
**[14:48] Rin**
*There's no mistake.*
**[14:49] Nitori**
*They're definitely brothers.*
**[14:51] Makoto**
Rin, and all of you, thank you for coming.
**[14:53] Rin**
Sure.
**[14:54] Nitori**
I've been looking forward to it!
**[14:56] Makoto**
Really? I'm glad to hear it!
**[14:58] Gou**
Here are programs for all of you.
**[15:00] Nitori**
Thank you very much.
**[15:15] Gou**
Sousuke-kun!
**[15:15] Sousuke**
Hey! How've you been, Gou?
**[15:18] Gou**
Great! It's really been a long time!
**[15:21] Gou**
I haven't heard from you once since
we ended up in separate high schools.
**[15:25] Gou**
In that respect, you're just like Onii-chan!
**[15:27] Sousuke**
Sorry about that.
**[15:28] Gou**
Honestly...
**[15:30] Rei**
Who is that?
**[15:31] Nagisa**
Rin-chan's best friend
**[15:33] ---**
from when he went to
Sano Elementary School.
**[15:36] Nagisa**
He swam in the lane next to
ours during that relay.
**[15:40] Rei**
Oh, that was him?
**[15:42] Rin**
We'll catch you guys later, then.
**[15:43] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[15:44] Makoto**
Okay.
**[15:45] Rin**
Let's go!
**[15:47] Momotarou**
I'm Mikoshiba Momotarou! My hobby
is hunting for stag beetles!
**[15:50] Momotarou**
My favorite proverb is
"Even Homer sometimes nods"!
**[15:52] Momotarou**
My best dish is fried eggs!
**[15:53] Momotarou**
When I shower, the first place I wash is—
**[15:55] Rin**
Get a move on!
**[15:56] Momotarou**
That hurts! Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[16:06] Nagisa**
Rei-chan, this is it.
**[16:08] Rei**
Indeed...
**[16:09] Rei**
The Armored Sidestroke.
**[16:12] Rei**
Let us witness it for ourselves.
**[16:18] Makoto**
So this is the Armored Sidestroke?
**[16:20] Nagisa**
Yeah. It's my first time seeing it, too.
**[16:23] Rei**
B...
**[16:24] Rei**
Beautiful!
**[16:26] Makoto**
Huh?
***SIGN*** The Armored Sidestroke
**[16:27] Nagisa**
Let's see. Next is...
***SIGN*** Muscle Contest
**[16:30] Nagisa**
the Muscle Contest!
**[16:31] Makoto**
They're really holding one?
**[16:33] Rei**
It seems she insisted on working it in.
**[16:35] Nagisa**
Huh? But Gou-chan's not here.
**[16:38] Rei**
She's over there.
***SIGN*** Muscle Contest
**[16:41] Makoto**
Gou-chan's a judge?!
**[16:48] Haruka**
What do you want,
**[16:50] Haruka**
Yamazaki?
**[16:51] Sousuke**
It's been a while,
**[16:53] Sousuke**
Nanase.
**[16:54] Sousuke**
I saw your relay at the regionals last year.
**[16:57] Haruka**
You're out here now?
**[16:59] Sousuke**
As it happens.
**[17:00] Sousuke**
What you guys did was really idiotic, though.
**[17:03] Sousuke**
You even dragged Rin into it.
**[17:05] Haruka**
What is it you want to say?
**[17:14] Sousuke**
I would never have made him
do something like that.
**[17:19] Haruka**
What do you mean?
**[17:26] Sousuke**
Don't ever get in Rin's way again.
**[17:42] Ama-chan**
* And now it's time for today's main*
* event, the 200m medley relay*
**[17:46] Ama-chan**
*between Team Dolphin and Team Shark!*
**[17:47] Ren/Ran**
Onii-chan, good luck!
**[17:49] Momotarou**
Gou-san!
**[17:50] Crowd**
Go for it!
**[17:52] Nagisa**
Apparently, that's Captain
Mikoshiba's younger brother,
**[17:54] Nagisa**
and his specialty is the backstroke!
**[17:57] Nagisa**
Also, Rin-chan's going to
swim the butterfly today!
**[17:59] Sasabe**
We'll now begin the race.
**[17:59] Rei**
Oh, is he?
**[18:01] Nagisa**
So the freestyle will be Yamazaki-kun.
**[18:02] Sasabe**
Ready!
**[18:07] Sasabe**
Set!
**[18:12] Rin**
Seriously, that kid...
**[18:14] Rin**
He's so smooth in the underwater phase!
**[18:19] Rin**
He's got serious skills!
**[18:21] Rei**
But Makoto-senpai's stroke is faster!
**[18:24] Rei**
The gap between them is getting wider!
**[18:28] Nagisa**
Ai-chan, you're on breaststroke?
**[18:30] Nagisa**
I won't lose!
**[18:32] Nitori**
S-Same here!
**[18:38] Rei**
All our training seems to be paying off.
**[18:41] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[18:41] Rei**
I have no intention of losing here!
**[18:45] Makoto**
With Nagisa's speed boost after
the turn, he'll increase our lead!
**[18:51] Rei**
It seems our team is superior.
**[18:54] Rin**
Guess I'll have to let you start before me.
**[18:57] Rin**
But you'd better watch your back.
**[19:00] Rin**
You don't want to get bitten.
**[19:02] Rei**
What?!
**[19:05] Rei**
Well, you can just bring it on!
**[19:11] Nagisa**
A showdown between Rei-chan and Rin-chan!
**[19:13] Makoto**
Rin is steadily catching up to Rei.
**[19:16] Makoto**
He's fast!
**[19:25] Nitori**
Just a little more and
Rin-senpai will catch up!
**[19:28] Momotarou**
He closed that huge gap in just a moment!
**[19:30] Momotarou**
Who the heck is he?
**[19:31] Nitori**
He's the captain of our Samezuka
swim team, Matsuoka Rin!
**[19:36] Sasabe**
Who'll finish first?!
**[19:40] Sasabe**
It's Rei!
**[20:01] Rei**
The gap's even smaller than before!
**[20:03] Makoto**
He's keeping pace with Haru's speed!
**[20:12] Rin**
Looking good, Sousuke!
**[20:13] Nitori**
Go for it!
**[20:14] Makoto**
Haru!
**[20:14] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[20:14] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[20:31] Makoto**
Haru!
**[20:32] Nagisa**
You did it, Haru-chan!
**[20:34] Rei**
That's our Haruka-senpai!
**[20:36] Rei**
Let's keep this up and kick some more
butt at the summer tournament!
**[20:39] Rei/Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[20:41] Rin**
Sousuke!
**[20:43] Rin**
Good job.
**[20:45] Rin**
That was some nice swimming.
**[20:47] Rin**
Thanks for today.
**[20:49] Nitori**
I'm sorry!
**[20:51] Nitori**
It's because I was so slow.
**[20:54] Rin**
Don't worry about it!
**[20:56] Rin**
For our first outing as a team, we did well.
**[20:59] Momotarou**
I'm not gonna lose next time!
**[21:02] Rin**
Hey.
**[21:05] Momotarou**
Ow!
**[21:06] Rin**
Next time? You're planning
on a next time, huh?
**[21:10] Rin**
If you want to swim,
come join the swim team.
**[21:13] Rin**
We'd be glad to have you.
**[21:21] Nagisa**
I'm glad it turned into an exciting race!
**[21:23] Rei**
I was actually afraid I was
going to get bitten.
**[21:27] Rin**
Let's go grab a bite on our way home.
**[21:29] Nitori**
That sounds good!
**[21:30] Momotarou**
Are you treating us?
**[21:31] Rin**
Listen, you...
**[21:33] Rin**
Okay, fine.
**[21:34] Nitori**
Wait, you will?!
**[21:35] Rin**
Yeah.
**[23:12] Nagisa**
By the way, who won the Muscle Contest?
**[23:15] Haruka**
Makoto did.
**[23:15] Nagisa**
What?
**[23:16] Makoto**
I was forced to join at the last minute.
**[23:17] Nagisa**
One of Gou-chan's schemes?
**[23:18] Makoto**
No, Gou-chan gave Rin the most points,
**[23:21] Makoto**
but somehow, I wound up
with the highest total.
**[23:23] Nagisa**
That's the power of the charm point
everyone admires: back muscles!
**[23:25] Haruka**
More importantly, Rei's acting weird.
**[23:27] Makoto**
Was he entranced by the Armored Sidestroke?!

Even though it was only a short period
of one year, thank you for everything!
**[00:07] Rin**
Why are you making such a big deal of this?
**[00:09] Rin**
We're just changing dorm rooms,

Yes, but...

Oh, yeah, you prefer

It's today, isn't it? You're not going?

Like I have time for that.
**[01:06] Sousuke**
You should go and see her once in a while.
**[01:08] Sousuke**
She sounded lonely, talking
about how cold you are.

Did you say something about Gou-san?!

**[04:51] ---**

Rei-chan!

*Who was that?*
**[05:04] Announcer**
*It's the Swim Club!*
**[05:06] Nagisa**
Go!

**[05:18] Gou**
Why?!
**[05:20] Nagisa**
After all of Rei-chan's hard work!
**[05:23] Rei**
Well, no matter how much
attention we draw by running,
**[05:25] ---**
we're a *swim* club, after all.
**[05:27] Makoto**
We've done all we can at this point.
**[05:29] ---**
Now let's just wait patiently.
**[05:31] Makoto**
And anyway, starting today...
**[05:35] Makoto**
The pool is officially open!
**[05:38] Makoto**
Let's shift gears and focus
on training for prefecturals.
**[05:42] Makoto**
Everyone be sure to warm up thoroughly.
**[05:45] Makoto**
The water's still pretty cold.
**[05:48] Makoto**
And though there's still some time before
**[05:50] ---**
we have to submit our tournament entry...
**[05:52] Makoto**
Aside from our individual events, there's...
**[05:55] All**
The medley relay!
**[05:56] Makoto**
I thought so.
**[05:58] Makoto**
How about you, Haru?
**[05:59] Haruka**
I only...
**[06:03] Haruka**
swim freestyle and relays.
**[06:08] Makoto**
So we're in the relay, then.
**[06:10] Makoto**
For individual events,
**[06:11] ---**
we'll each choose our own
before the entry date.
**[06:14] Makoto**
As for me, since it's my last year,
**[06:17] ---**
I think I'll try entering the freestyle, too.
**[06:19] Nagisa**
Oh, really? Then maybe I'll
try racing butterfly, too!
**[06:23] Makoto**
Isn't butterfly your weakest stroke?
**[06:27] Nagisa**
This is really exciting somehow!
**[06:29] Nagisa**
Hey, Rei-chan, why don't you
try entering the breaststroke?
**[06:32] Rei**
Never mind entering.
**[06:33] ---**
I still can't swim any
stroke but the butterfly!
**[06:36] Nagisa**
What? Don't say that!
**[06:40] Nagisa**
You're not the same Rei-chan you used to be.
**[06:43] Nagisa**
I bet at this point, you could
swim any stroke you wanted!
**[06:46] Rei**
You think so?
**[06:48] Gou**
That's true.
**[06:50] ---**
After all, you study up on
swimming every day, Rei-kun.
**[06:53] Rei**
I guess it would be possible, at least...
**[06:57] Rei**
But ever since—
**[06:58] Makoto**
But now that you can swim,
**[07:01] Makoto**
I bet your backstroke would be beautiful, Rei.
**[07:04] Rei**
All right, then!
**[07:07] Rei**
I shall present a beautiful
backstroke, breaststroke,
**[07:09] ---**
and freestyle stroke to all of you!
**[07:12] Nagisa**
Yay!
**[07:19] Rei**
Why?!
**[07:21] Gou**
Don't get discouraged, Rei-kun!
**[07:22] Nagisa**
Your form is perfect, Rei-chan!
**[07:23] Rei**
Why does it have to be this way?!
**[07:25] Makoto**
Don't rush. Take your time
getting the hang of it.
**[07:29] Haruka**
Rei...
**[07:31] Haruka**
You don't need to force yourself
to swim something different.
**[07:36] Haruka**
As long as you have one swimming style
of your own, that's enough, isn't it?
**[07:44] Rei**
*That's what Haruka-senpai said,*
**[07:47] ---**
*but is that really good enough?*
***SIGN*** Basics 2: Your Lungs Are Major Flotation Devices

*I want to try competing in other events, too.*
**[08:04] Rei**
* Will I never be able to swim*

**[08:07] Sera**
Ryugazaki...
**[08:10] Sera**
It's been a while.
**[08:11] Rei**
Sera-senpai!
**[08:13] Sera**
Your running looked
fantastic the other day in
**[08:16] ---**
the Club-Versus-Club Relay.
**[08:18] Rei**
No matter how fast I can run,
it doesn't help the swim club.
**[08:28] Sera**
Hey, Ryugazaki...
**[08:30] ---**
Don't you feel any desire to
come back to the track team?
**[08:33] Sera**
To me, at least, you seem to shine
more when you're on the track.
**[08:39] Sera**
How is it when you're in the water?
**[08:41] Rei**
Th-That's...

**[08:53] Sera**
I'll be waiting for you.
**[08:54] Sera**
See you later.
**[09:07] Gou**
Haruka-senpai?
**[09:09] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[09:13] Haruka**
Can I ask you something?
**[09:16] Gou**
Sousuke-kun's already been
scouted by a university.
**[09:20] Gou**
So he decided to spend his
last year of high school
**[09:22] ---**
back home, swimming his own way.
**[09:24] Gou**
That's why he's at Samezuka.
**[09:27] Sousuke**
*Don't get in Rin's way ever again.*
**[09:30] Gou**
Did something happen with Sousuke-kun?
**[09:33] Haruka**
No.
**[09:36] Gou**
If you'd just set some record
times in tournaments,
**[09:39] ---**
you'd have lots of scouts
after you, too, Haruka-senpai!
**[09:42] Haruka**
I swim because I want to.
**[09:45] Haruka**
That's all.
**[09:49] Nagisa**
Ah, so nice and warm!
**[09:51] Makoto**
The pool is still a little cold, isn't it?
**[09:55] Rei**
*Haruka-senpai swims because he wants to.*
**[09:59] Rei**
*So what about me?*
**[10:01] Nagisa**
So then Haru-chan's eyes flew wide open!
**[10:06] Nagisa**
Hey, Rei-chan, let's all drop by
Haru-chan's place after this.
**[10:10] Rei**
I'm sorry.
**[10:11] ---**
I've got an errand to run today,
so I'll just go on ahead.
**[10:19] Nagisa**
Rei-chan?
**[10:21] Japanese Teacher**
As with any great work, the story ties
to the actual events and circumstances
**[10:27] ---**
surrounding the author at that time.
**[10:31] Nagisa**
Ryugazaki-kun...
**[10:32] Rei**
Yes!
**[10:33] Japanese Teacher**
Ryugazaki-kun, do you need
to go to the bathroom?
**[10:36] Rei**
Huh?
**[10:36] Rei**
Oh! N-No, sir.
**[10:39] Rei**
I can't believe I did something so humiliating!
**[10:42] Rei**
But I could swear I heard
someone call my name.
**[10:45] Nagisa**
Uh, more importantly...
**[10:47] Nagisa**
After swim club today...
**[10:48] Rei**
Sorry. I have something to do again today.
**[10:52] Nagisa**
Aw, again?
**[10:54] Nagisa**
A yummy new ice cream shop
opened up by the station...
**[10:57] Rei**
Sorry, I have plans today.
**[11:00] Nagisa**
Can I drop by your
place after school today?
**[11:02] Rei**
Sorry. Today's not a good day, either.
**[11:04] Nagisa**
Rei-chan! Let's go and—
**[11:06] Rei**
Sorry! This is an errand I really can't skip!
**[11:10] Teacher**
Thus, among the many different
meanings hidden in this passage...
**[11:15] Nagisa**
Something is definitely wrong with Rei-chan!
**[11:18] Haruka**
What's the problem?
**[11:19] Makoto**
He's still diligent about coming to practice.
**[11:21] Nagisa**
Yeah, but yesterday was Sunday,
**[11:24] ---**
so I went to Rei-chan's house again,
**[11:26] Nagisa**
but then...
**[11:28] Nagisa**
Rei-chan wasn't there. His mom
answered the door instead.
**[11:31] Nagisa**
He usually stays at home to study on Sundays...
**[11:34] Gou**
I saw Rei-kun on Sunday.
**[11:37] Nagisa**
Really?!
**[11:38] Gou**
Yeah. Hana-chan and I were shopping
**[11:40] ---**
for ingredients to make sweets, and...
**[11:46] Gou**
He looked like he didn't
want anybody to bother him.
**[11:50] Sasabe**
Sounds like he's sick.
**[11:53] Nagisa**
What?!
**[11:54] Sasabe**
Lovesick, that is!
**[11:56] All**
Lovesick?
**[11:57] Sasabe**
Rei must've gotten himself a girlfriend!
**[12:00] Gou**
Rei-kun has a girlfriend?
**[12:02] Sasabe**
There are two kinds of men!
**[12:05] ---**
Those strengthened by love,
and those weakened by it.
**[12:08] Makoto**
Were you imitating Miss Ama-chan?
**[12:10] Gou**
But Rei-kun's definitely the type
that'd be weakened by love.
**[12:14] Nagisa**
What do we do? This is bad.
**[12:16] Haruka**
It is?
**[12:17] Makoto**
Hm...
**[12:19] ---**
What if he gets so crazy
**[12:20] ---**
about his girlfriend that he neglects the club?
**[12:22] Nagisa**
What?!
**[12:24] Gou**
Don't worry.
**[12:25] Gou**
Just leave this to me!

If there's anything on your

**[12:36] Gou**
You don't have to stress
over it on your own.
**[12:39] Rei**
Gou-san...
**[12:41] Rei**
What is this about?
**[12:46] Rei**
Me, in love?!
**[12:48] Rei**
What gives you that idea?!
**[12:50] Gou**
So you're not?
**[12:52] Rei**
Certainly not!
**[12:53] ---**
As if I would ever be taken in
by something as illogical as love!
**[12:58] Gou**
Then why were you shopping for cake?
**[13:01] Rei**
I-I just feel like eating
cake once in a while!
**[13:05] Gou**
Then where do you keep
disappearing to every day?
**[13:07] Rei**
Just some minor business.
**[13:09] Gou**
What business?
**[13:10] Rei**
Just some minor business,
meaning insignificant,
**[13:12] ---**
which is to say it isn't beautiful at all,
**[13:14] ---**
to the degree that I hesitate
to utter its nature here!
**[13:17] Rei**
A-Anyway, I have minor business
to attend to today, as well!
**[13:20] ---**
Excuse me!
**[13:24] Haruka**
Definitely...
**[13:25] Makoto**
...weird.
**[13:30] Rin**
Too sweet...
**[13:32] Momotarou**
Sorry to bother you, Rin-senpai!
**[13:34] Momotarou**
Could you take a look at my personal
training regimen for tomorrow?
**[13:38] Momotarou**

**[13:39] Rin**
Hey!
**[13:40] Momotarou**
S-Sorry!
**[13:42] Rin**
What the heck?
**[13:46] Momotarou**
I-Is that what they call a homemade cookie?!
**[13:50] Rin**
Wanna try one?
**[13:52] Momotarou**
Can I?!
**[13:53] Momotarou**
Yahoo!
**[13:57] Momotarou**
Yum!
**[13:59] Momotarou**
Just one more...
**[14:01] Rin**
I said you could try *one*!
**[14:03] Momotarou**
Stingy!
**[14:06] Sera**
Hm?
**[14:07] Sera**
Ryugazaki...
**[14:09] Rei**
Senpai...
**[14:11] Sera**
About what I mentioned before...
**[14:16] Gou**
That guy...
**[14:18] Gou**
What fabulous forearm muscles!
**[14:21] Gou**
I mean...
**[14:24] Gou**
*Could this be...*
**[14:27] Gou**
I saw it.
**[14:28] Makoto**
What happened?
**[14:30] Nagisa**
Gou-chan?
**[14:32] Gou**
Well... No, it couldn't be!
**[14:37] Gou**
I can't believe he's the
one Rei-kun's in love with!
**[14:41] Nagisa**
A guy?!
**[14:42] Makoto**
No, he was probably just talking
with an upperclassman he knew.
**[14:46] Haruka**
I wonder if that guy was...
**[14:48] Gou**
That's him! The guy with the forearms!
**[14:51] Makoto**
I'm pretty sure that's the
captain of the track team.
**[14:54] Haruka**
Could Rei be planning to...
**[14:57] Makoto**
Maybe running in the club relay
reminded him of his track days.
**[15:00] Gou**
You think he wants to go back?!
**[15:02] Nagisa**
You mean he's going to quit the swim club?!
**[15:05] Nagisa**
No! No! I couldn't stand it if he did!
**[15:08] Makoto**
I know.
**[15:09] Nagisa**
Huh?
**[15:12] Makoto**
I absolutely won't allow him to do that.
**[15:15] Rei**
Sorry I'm late...
**[15:17] Rei**
What's the matter?
**[15:19] Makoto**
Nothing!
**[15:21] Makoto**
But, Rei, do you have minor
business to attend to again?
**[15:26] Rei**
I do.
**[15:27] Makoto**
In that case,
**[15:28] Makoto**
practice is canceled so we can
**[15:30] ---**
hold an emergency meeting at Haru's house!
**[15:32] Gou/Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[15:33] Gou/Nagisa**
Hip, hip, hurray!
**[15:38] Rei**
Um...
**[15:39] Rei**
So what's the emergency?
**[15:42] Makoto**
What? Um, well...
**[15:44] Makoto**
What was it again?
**[15:46] Haruka**
Don't pass it off on me.
**[15:47] Gou**
W-We're, well... going to
taste-test a new mackerel recipe!
**[15:51] Nagisa**
That's not an emergency at all.
**[15:54] Haruka**
You're the one who called this meeting.
**[15:54] Nagisa**
Gou-chan, don't you have any other...
**[15:56] Makoto**
Yeah, but...
**[15:57] Rei**
If there's no emergency,
I do have an errand to run, so...
**[16:01] Makoto**
H-Hey, wai—
**[16:04] Rei**
Nagisa-kun?
**[16:05] Nagisa**
Don't quit the swim club!
**[16:08] Rei**
Huh?!
**[16:09] Nagisa**
You can't hide it from us.
**[16:11] ---**
You plan to go back to
the track team, don't you?
**[16:15] Nagisa**
I don't want that!
**[16:18] Rei**
Nagisa-kun...
**[16:19] Makoto**
He's right, Rei.
**[16:21] Makoto**
We're a team. I won't let
you just leave like this.
**[16:25] Gou**
As the team manager,
I can't agree with it, either.
**[16:28] Haruka**
Rei, it was because of what you said
**[16:31] ---**
that both Rin and I were saved.
**[16:34] Haruka**
Don't say you're quitting.
**[16:36] Haruka**
Weren't you the one
**[16:38] ---**
who said the four of us were going
to swim together at nationals?
**[16:42] Rei**
Haruka-senpai...
**[16:44] Nagisa**
He's right!
**[16:45] Nagisa**
We all promised, didn't we?
**[16:47] ---**
That the four of us would
swim the relay together.
**[16:49] Nagisa**
You said you'd show us your beautiful
butterfly stroke at nationals!
**[16:59] Rei**
Wait a second.
**[17:01] Rei**
What are you all talking about?
**[17:03] Rei**
I'm not quitting the swim club.
**[17:07] Nagisa**
But you were talking with the
captain of the track team.
**[17:09] Rei**
You saw us?
**[17:12] Rei**
He did ask me to come back,
but that was all that happened.
**[17:16] Rei**
And...
**[17:18] ---**
There's no way I would
ever quit the swim club!
**[17:26] All**
Thank goodness.
**[17:28] Rei**
And now that we've resolved
that misunderstanding,
**[17:30] ---**
I have an errand to run, so I'll be going...
**[17:35] Nagisa**
At this point...
**[17:36] Gou**
...there's no choice but to...
**[17:37] Both**
...follow him!
**[17:42] Makoto**
This is...
**[17:44] Nagisa**
Samezuka Academy?
**[17:47] Rin**
That's right. Good.
**[17:49] Rin**
Stay balanced over your hips.
**[17:52] Rin**
Time your strokes to your breaths.
**[17:54] Rin**
Aside from that, just do it
exactly like I showed you.
**[17:57] Rin**
Let's go!
**[17:58] Rei**
Okay!
**[18:11] Rin**
You did it!
**[18:13] Rei**
Did I really?
**[18:14] Rin**
Yeah.
**[18:16] Rin**
All right! Next up, the breaststroke!
**[18:18] Rei**
Okay!
**[18:19] Rin**
But seriously, I'm impressed your
swimming has come this far.
**[18:24] Rin**
Honestly,
**[18:25] ---**
I thought you would've
given up long before now.
**[18:30] Rei**
I'd always thought
**[18:33] Rei**
just swimming one style, like
Haruka-senpai, would be enough.
**[18:39] Rei**
The way I look floundering in
the water is not beautiful.
**[18:42] Rei**
If it meant having to look
that way all the time,
**[18:44] ---**
I thought I'd rather not swim at all.
**[18:47] Rei**
But...
**[18:49] ---**
Despite that, I...
**[18:51] Rei**
I didn't want to give up!
**[18:58] Rei**
I'm sorry for making you join me every day.
**[19:01] Rin**
It's after our team's practice,
so I don't mind. Plus...
**[19:05] Rin**
I really owe you.
**[19:07] Rei**
Huh?
**[19:10] Rin**
Nothing!
**[19:12] Rin**
Okay, let's do this!
**[19:13] Rin**
You want to surprise all of them, right?
**[19:18] Rei**
Right!
**[19:19] Nagisa**
Rei-chan was planning
to surprise us with this.
**[19:23] Makoto**
Yeah...
**[19:27] Nagisa**
Oh! Look! See? Rei-chan's
swimming breaststroke!
**[19:30] Gou/Makoto**
Whoa!
**[19:31] Makoto**
He really is!
**[19:32] Nagisa**
He did the turn, too!
**[19:34] Makoto**
A real breaststroke turn!
**[19:35] Gou**
He's swimming toward us!
**[19:36] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[19:40] Sousuke**
You're working hard every day, yourself.
**[19:42] Rin**
Shut up.
**[19:44] Rin**
Even if we're on different
teams, he's a friend.
**[19:47] Rin**
And when I saw how serious he
was about learning to swim,
**[19:50] ---**
I seriously wanted to help him get there, too.
**[19:53] Sousuke**
For your friend, huh?
**[19:57] Rin**
Anyway, today was the last time.
**[19:59] Rin**
It looks like he's got the hang
of it now, so he'll be fine.
**[20:03] Rin**
He really
**[20:05] ---**
has worked hard.
**[20:11] Sousuke**
I'm glad for you, Rin.
**[20:16] Nitori**
Huh? Is that...
**[20:18] Momotarou**
One of Gou-san's homemade cookies!
**[20:20] Momotarou**
I begged Rin-senpai and got another one!
**[20:23] Nitori**
What? You're wrong about that.
**[20:26] Nitori**
That was made by Ryugazaki-san.
**[20:27] Momotarou**
Huh?!
**[20:28] Nitori**
He wanted to get Rin-senpai a
cake to thank him for the lessons,
**[20:31] ---**
but out of consideration
for his physical fitness,
**[20:33] Nitori**
he decided to make cookies containing
**[20:35] Nitori**
nutrients that Rin-senpai was lacking.
**[20:40] Rei**
Thank you for waiting!
**[20:42] Rei**
At long last, the time has come for
me to reveal my magnificent new form!
**[20:47] Rei**
Please try not to be too surprised.
**[20:49] Rei**
And away we go!
**[20:55] Haruka**
Rei is swimming freestyle.
**[20:57] Nagisa**
That's amazing, Rei-chan!
**[20:59] ---**
You've learned how to swim all the strokes!
**[21:02] Gou**
This isn't good enough, guys.
**[21:03] Gou**
We need to look more surprised!
**[21:06] Nagisa**
Whoa! How can this be?!
**[21:07] Makoto**
When did he learn how to swim like that?!
**[21:09] Haruka**
What's going on here?
**[21:12] Gou**
You guys are hopeless.
**[21:14] Nagisa**
Maybe we should just tell the truth.
**[21:15] Makoto**
No, we definitely can't.
**[21:18] Rei**
What did you think, everyone?
**[21:22] ---**
About my swimming?
**[21:24] Rei**
Honestly, you can't help
but be amazed, can you?
**[21:30] Haruka**
Rei...
**[21:32] Haruka**
You've really worked hard, haven't you?
**[21:37] Rei**
Yes!
**[23:11] Nagisa**
I want to try one of Rei-chan's cookies, too!
**[23:13] Rei**
Certainly!
**[23:14] Rei**
For you, Nagisa-kun, what do you
think of a special vitamin cookie
**[23:17] ---**
that contains 30 lemons' worth of vitamin C?
**[23:19] Nagisa**
Huh? A sour cookie?
**[23:20] Haruka**
Nagisa, 30 lemons' worth of
vitamin C would be equivalent
**[23:23] ---**
to what you'd get from 50 mackerels!
**[23:24] Nagisa**
Yay!
**[23:25] Rei**
I would never make such a putrid cookie!

**[00:04] Rin**
*It's hot!*
**[00:05] Sousuke**
*So thirsty...*
**[00:06] Rin**
*Which one are you getting?*
**[00:08] Both**
*One, two...*
***SIGN*** Soda Guy
**[00:09] Both**
*This one!*
**[00:12] Both**
* Rock, paper, scissors!*
* One more...*
**[00:17] Rin**
*So good!*
**[00:18] Sousuke**
* Darn, I wouldn't have lost*
* if we'd competed at butterfly.*
**[00:23] Rin**
*Then, next time, want to race using butterfly?*
**[00:25] Rin**
*We could race for...*
**[00:27] Sousuke**
* How about the loser has to do*
* any one thing the winner wants?*
**[00:32] Rin**
*Sounds interesting! Let's do it!*
**[00:34] Sousuke**
*Okay, it's a promise!*
**[00:36] Rin**
*Okay, let's race to the pool!*
**[00:39] Sousuke**
*Hey! No fair!*
**[00:41] Sousuke**
*Hold on, Rin!*
***SIGN*** The Somersault Turn of Promise!
**[02:17] Nitori**
Yamazaki-senpai's butterfly
really is amazing!
**[02:21] Rin**
Yeah, but he's way faster
when he's actually trying.
**[02:26] Uozumi**
Captain! This is amazing!
**[02:28] Uozumi**
Momo said he was going to
swim seriously, and he's super fast!
**[02:32] Mihama**
He's already beaten the team record.
**[02:33] Uozumi**
He's incredible.
**[02:35] Rin**
Do you think he could be—
**[02:38] Members**
What are you doing?!
**[02:39] Uozumi**
Hey! Are you okay?
**[02:41] Momo**
That hurt!
**[02:42] Mihama**
Didn't you see the 5-meter line?
**[02:45] Momo**
I'm just not used to this pool yet!
**[02:48] Rin**
Well, he'll get better.
**[02:51] Uozumi**
You're incredible!
**[02:51] Momo**
Ow!
**[02:52] Mihama**
Can you go one more time?
**[02:54] Momo**
Totally! Just leave it to me!
**[02:57] Uozumi**
That's it! Don't bump your head again!
**[03:00] Mihama**
All right, let's time you again!
**[03:02] Nitori**
*I need to try harder too!*
**[03:04] Nitori**
* I want to compete in the*
* relay no matter what!*
**[03:08] Sousuke**
With his current time,
he won't be picked for the relay, right?
**[03:11] Sousuke**
He wouldn't stand a chance.
**[03:12] Rin**
Yeah, with how he is now...
**[03:15] Rin**
But how far he'll get is up to him.
**[03:19] Rin**
No amount of natural
talent trumps hard work.
**[03:24] Gou**
So... there is but one reason I
have gathered you all here today!
**[03:28] Rei**
What "one reason" do you mean?
**[03:31] Gou**
No needless back talk!
**[03:32] Rei**
Yes, ma'am.
**[03:33] Nagisa**
Gou-chan, you're being scary!
**[03:35] Gou**
As prefecturals will soon be upon us,
**[03:38] ---**
I shall be conducting a
surprise bento check today!
**[03:41] All**
What?
**[03:42] Gou**
No complaining!
**[03:44] ---**
As athletes, eating a balanced
diet is part of your training!
**[03:46] Haruka**
My diet is completely balanced.
**[03:48] Gou**
Then please let me see yours, Haruka-senpai.
**[03:52] Gou**
It's not balanced at all!
**[03:54] Gou**
Haruka-senpai, this gets 43 points!
***SIGN*** Nanase Haruka 43 Points Simple
**[03:57] Gou**
Your lunch is too simple!
**[03:58] Gou**
Next, Makoto-senpai!
**[04:00] Nagisa**
That looks so yummy!
**[04:03] Makoto**
Do you really think so?
**[04:04] Gou**
Makoto-senpai...
**[04:05] Makoto**
Huh?
**[04:06] Gou**
68 points!
**[04:07] Makoto**
Huh?!
**[04:08] Gou**
There's nothing but meat in
here, and not enough vegetables!
***SIGN*** Tachibana Makoto 68 Points Lack of Veggies
**[04:11] Gou**
Next, Rei-kun!
**[04:12] Rei**
Certainly! Go right ahead and
examine my bento all you like!
**[04:17] Rei**
See how it's full of
leafy green vegetables!
**[04:19] Rei**
Please also note the care with
which the arrangement of the
**[04:22] ---**
components was made, based on color theory!
**[04:24] Rei**
What do you think?
**[04:25] ---**
Is this not beauty approaching perfection?!
**[04:28] Gou**
Rei-kun...
**[04:29] Gou**
63 points.
**[04:30] Rei**
That's ridiculous!
**[04:32] Gou**
You were so focused on
the beauty of the food
**[04:33] ---**
that you failed to make a balanced meal!
**[04:35] Gou**
There's not remotely enough meat in here!
**[04:37] Gou**
You need more protein!
**[04:39] Gou**
With a lunch like this, your
muscles will never grow!
***SIGN*** Ryugazaki Rei 63 Points Meat
**[04:41] Rei**
No!
**[04:43] Gou**
Honestly, I'm worried about all of your muscles!
**[04:47] Gou**
Next, Nagisa-kun—
**[04:48] Nagisa**
Lookie, lookie!
**[04:49] Nagisa**
Tada!
**[04:51] Gou**
The Iwatobi High specialty
Iwatobi Cream Bread?!
**[04:54] Nagisa**
It has strawberry jam,
marmalade and even chocolate,
**[04:57] ---**
all for just 480 yen!
**[04:58] Nagisa**
So cheap!
**[04:59] Rei/Gou**
That's expensive!
**[05:00] Gou**
Plus your juice has no
actual fruit juice in it.
**[05:02] ---**
It's all carbohydrates and sugar!
**[05:04] Nagisa**
But I like that juice.
**[05:05] Gou**
No buts! Nagisa-kun, zero points!
**[05:08] Gou**
Don't you have any awareness of
the fact that you're an athlete?!
**[05:11] Gou**
Actually, this problem goes beyond
your nutrition as an athlete!
***SIGN*** Hazuki Nagisa 0 Points Beyond Hope
**[05:14] Makoto**
You didn't have to say all that...
**[05:16] Gou**
Don't baby him!
**[05:20] Gou**
Nagisa-kun...
**[05:22] ---**
Remember that you're not
just one person anymore!
**[05:26] Gou**
Not just Nagisa-kun...
**[05:28] ---**
All of you are members of a relay team now.
**[05:30] Gou**
You are four people united as one body!
**[05:33] Nagisa/Rei**
Gou-chan...
**[05:34] Gou**
Therefore, Nagisa-kun, you are hereby
forbidden to buy cafeteria bread.
**[05:37] Nagisa**
Huh?!
**[05:38] Nagisa**
That's too mean, Gou-chan!
**[05:39] Gou**
No, it's not!
**[05:42] Nagisa**
Then you should make a
100-point bento, Gou-chan!
**[05:46] Rei**
Indeed.
**[05:47] ---**
We strongly request you
show us how it's done.
**[05:50] Gou**
Well, since you all insist,
I certainly can't refuse you.
**[05:53] Gou**
Very well! As the Swim Club's manager,
**[05:56] ---**
I shall do all I can to support your
endeavors to develop perfect bodies!
**[06:03] Rin**
Okay, we'll meet back here in an hour.
**[06:06] Rin**
Pick out a swimsuit that suits you.
**[06:09] First-years**
Yes, sir!
**[06:11] Rin**
Sorry, guys.
**[06:13] Rin**
I didn't mean to drag you
along for this too.
**[06:15] Nitori**
It's fine.
**[06:16] Sousuke**
I'd been thinking of buying
a new swimsuit anyway.
**[06:20] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[06:23] Gou**
Huh?
**[06:24] Momo**
Do you remember me?
**[06:25] Gou**
Um, uh, aren't you Captain Mikoshiba's
younger brother, Kintarou—
**[06:31] Momo**

**[06:40] Momo**
The biggest one I've caught
so far was 8 centimeters!
**[06:41] Gou**
Um... Excuse me...
**[06:42] Momo**
My favorite kind of spaghetti is vongole—
**[06:45] Rin**
Jeez...
**[06:46] Momo**
C-Can't breathe...
**[06:46] Gou**
Onii-chan!
**[06:50] Gou**
So you all came to buy swimsuits?
**[06:52] Rin**
Yeah. Are you shopping too?
**[06:54] ---**
Are the others here?
**[06:55] Gou**
It's just me today.
**[06:56] Momo**
Gou-san, what do you think of this one?
**[06:58] Gou**
Huh?
**[06:59] Momo**
Don't you think this one
is perfect for me, as well?
**[07:02] Gou**
Well, uh...
**[07:03] Momo**
Please call me Momo!
You don't have to hold back!
**[07:06] Gou**
Th-Then...
**[07:07] Rin**
Momo!
**[07:07] Momo**
Yessir!
**[07:10] Nitori**
How about this one, Momo-kun?
**[07:12] Momo**
Momo-kun?
**[07:18] Momo**
What was that for?
**[07:20] Rin**
Here.
**[07:22] Rin**
With your rough swimming style,
**[07:24] ---**
something like this would suit you best.
**[07:26] Momo**
That so?
**[07:28] Rin**
Yup. Because it's thin and light.
**[07:31] Sousuke**
What's up?
**[07:32] Gou**
Oh, nothing.
**[07:34] Gou**
Well, you guys have fun.
**[07:35] Sousuke**
Thanks.
**[07:36] Momo**
But I want something flashier...
**[07:39] Rin**
I told you to stop going by appearances!
**[07:42] Nitori**
Now, now, you two...
**[07:46] Rin**
Soda as always?
**[07:48] Rin**
You never change.
**[07:49] Rin**
I haven't had one in a while,
so maybe I'll get one, too...
***SIGN*** Sold Out
**[07:55] Sousuke**
Wanna have a throwdown for it?
**[07:56] Rin**
Heck yeah!
**[07:57] Both**
Rock, paper... One more...
**[08:03] Rin**
This tastes great after
not having one in so long!
**[08:05] Sousuke**
That reminds me, I lost the
last time we did this, too.
**[08:08] Rin**
That's right, I lost back then too.
**[08:09] Sousuke**
Do you remember the promise
we made back then?
***SIGN*** Soda Guy
***SIGN*** Lose
**[08:13] Sousuke**
* The loser has to do any one*
* thing the winner wants!*
**[08:17] Sousuke**
*And no hard feelings if you lose!*
**[08:18] Rin**
*I know already!*
**[08:20] Rin**
* When the second hand reaches*
* 60, we start, got it?*
**[08:23] Rin**
*Let's do this!*
**[08:34] Rin**
*Crap! If only I hadn't messed up the turn!*
**[08:37] Sousuke**
*I win!*
**[08:39] Rin**
*Well, a promise is a promise.*
**[08:41] Rin**
*I'll do whatever you ask me, so spit it out.*
**[08:45] Sousuke**
*Hey, don't cry.*
**[08:47] Rin**
*I'm not crying! Hurry up and tell me!*
**[08:49] Sousuke**
*Okay then...*
**[08:52] Sousuke**
*Well, give me some time to think about it.*
**[08:55] Rin**
That's right, we did make
that promise, didn't we?
**[08:58] Sousuke**
Though in the end,
**[08:59] ---**
you wound up leaving for Australia
before I decided what to ask for.
**[09:03] Rin**
*What about that promise?*
**[09:05] Sousuke**
*Oh, I totally forgot.*
**[09:07] ---**
*I still haven't thought of anything.*
**[09:08] Rin**
*Aw, come on...*
**[09:10] Sousuke**
* I guess I'll look forward to*
* asking you next time we meet.*
**[09:13] Rin**
*See you around.*
**[09:15] Sousuke**
*Yeah.*
**[09:18] Rin**
Promise, huh?
**[09:20] Rin**
Well, we wound up meeting again,
**[09:22] ---**
so to commemorate our reunion,
go ahead and ask me for anything.
**[09:25] Sousuke**
Okay, then...
**[09:26] Sousuke**
Trade bunks with me.
**[09:29] Rin**
Come on, we already settled
that with a throwdown.
**[09:32] Rin**
And really? That's what you
want for our 5-year promise?
**[09:35] Sousuke**
Then, give me half your soda.
**[09:37] Rin**
Are you gonna take this seriously or not?
**[09:41] Sousuke**
Give me some time to think about it.
**[09:47] Sousuke**
More importantly, Rin...
**[09:49] Sousuke**
Why didn't you ever call me
during these past five years?
**[09:53] Sousuke**
Did something happen in Australia?
**[09:57] Sousuke**
Your letters stopped coming after a while.
**[09:59] Sousuke**
I figured you must've
hit a wall or something.
**[10:04] Sousuke**
That's why I didn't say anything
about it when we met again.
**[10:08] Sousuke**
But
**[10:09] ---**
now...
**[10:13] Sousuke**
I want to know what happened.
**[10:19] Rin**
It wasn't a big deal.
**[10:22] Rin**
It was exactly what you imagined.
**[10:24] ---**
I was studying abroad, hit a wall,
**[10:26] ---**
then stumbled and couldn't get back up.
**[10:29] Rin**
That was all.
**[10:30] Rin**
I even thought about quitting.
**[10:33] Rin**
But,
**[10:35] Rin**
I was saved.
**[10:36] ---**
By Haru and the others. By my friends.
**[10:39] Sousuke**
Your friends again, huh?
**[10:41] Rin**
Yeah.
**[10:43] Rin**
When I swam with them,
**[10:45] ---**
they showed me a sight
I'd never seen before,
**[10:47] ---**
and it made me want to swim again.
**[10:51] Rin**
That's why,
**[10:52] ---**
this time, I swim for the sake
of the friends who saved me.
**[10:55] Rin**
And for my the sake of my own dreams too.
**[11:01] Sousuke**
That's right.
**[11:02] ---**
You always were a romantic
swimming maniac, weren't you?
**[11:05] Rin**
Shut up.
**[11:09] Nagisa**
Wow!
**[11:10] Nagisa**
You made all this, Gou-chan?
**[11:12] Makoto**
It looks delicious!
**[11:14] Gou**
Really? I'm so glad!
**[11:16] Gou**
It was worth the trouble of
going all the way to
**[11:18] ---**
the city to buy the ingredients.
**[11:20] Gou**
I even saw my brother and
Sousuke-kun while I was shopping!
**[11:23] Haruka**
Rin and Yamazaki?
**[11:25] Gou**
Yes.
**[11:26] ---**
The Samezuka Swim Team happened
to be there buying swimsuits.
**[11:29] Makoto**
I see.
**[11:30] Nagisa**
Here! You guys eat too!
**[11:33] Nagisa**
Thank you for the food!
**[11:35] Nagisa**
Mmm, delicious!
**[11:37] Rei**
Wait just a moment.
**[11:39] ---**
There's something odd
about what you just said.
**[11:41] Rei**
Why were you shopping for ingredients
in a store that sells swimsuits?
**[11:46] Gou**
Well, it wasn't a food ingredient.
**[11:48] Gou**
More like protein powder?
**[11:50] Gou**
I used lots in the food, so its
nutritional value should be perfect!
**[11:53] Nagisa**
These are cocoa-flavored rice balls!
**[12:00] Makoto**
I should have realized it when you said
you saw Rin and Yamazaki-kun
**[12:03] ---**
buying swimsuits where you were shopping.
**[12:05] Gou**
Are you still talking about that?
**[12:06] ---**
Did you dislike the food that much?
**[12:08] Nagisa**
I thought it was delicious!
**[12:10] Nagisa**
What other flavors are there?
**[12:11] Gou**
Um, strawberry and banana.
**[12:14] Nagisa**
Strawberry will be good!
**[12:14] Makoto**
Please, no!
**[12:16] Rei**
Speaking of Yamazaki-san, he was
**[12:18] ---**
Rin-san's best friend from before he
transferred to Iwatobi, correct?
**[12:22] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[12:23] Rei**
Then I wonder why he didn't just
swim the relay with Yamazaki-san.
**[12:29] Gou**
They actually did swim one relay
race together at the swimming club.
**[12:33] Gou**
But for some reason, that relay
didn't go well for them,
**[12:36] ---**
and they never tried another.
**[12:38] Rei**
That confuses me even more.
**[12:40] Rei**
They'd already swum one
relay together, so why would
**[12:43] ---**
he leave his best friend
and transfer schools?
**[12:46] Makoto**
You're just like Nagisa.
**[12:47] Rei**
Huh?
**[12:48] Nagisa**
I wondered the same thing you did,
**[12:51] ---**
so I asked Rin-chan about it once.
**[12:53] Nagisa**
* What do you mean you two are*
* better off on separate teams?*
**[12:57] Rin**
*Because we know each other too well.*
**[12:59] Rin**
*Sousuke is way more theory-based than me,*
**[13:02] ---**
*so we got into a lot of arguments.*
**[13:04] Rin**
* In the end, he'd calm down*
* when I'd say the fastest*
**[13:06] ---**
*would win the race,*
**[13:08] Rin**
* but it always took something*
* out of my competitive spirit.*
**[13:11] Nagisa**
*So you don't like him?*
**[13:14] Rin**
*It's not like that.*
**[13:16] Rin**
* In fact, even now, I think he understands*
* me better than anyone else.*
**[13:20] Rin**
* But, I do think we're better off*
* not being on the same relay team.*
**[13:33] Uozumi**
Hey! What's the matter?
**[13:35] Uozumi**
You're not getting any better!
**[13:38] Uozumi**
Was that one time just a fluke?
**[13:40] Mihama**
That's the slowest time in the Swim Team.
**[13:42] Momo**
That can't be!
**[13:44] Rin**
He does have potential, but...
**[13:47] Sousuke**
Even if he has potential,
it's meaningless if he can't use it.
**[13:52] Rei**
This is a list of foods that contain the ideal
***SIGN*** Iwatobi Swim Club Nutritional Foods List
**[13:55] ---**
amounts of protein and
vitamins for swimmers!
**[13:59] Rei**
With deep regret, I left out aesthetic
value from my consideration,
**[14:03] Rei**
and allowed myself to be guided
purely by the principles of
**[14:06] ---**
sports nutritional science alone!
**[14:08] Makoto**
Impressive!
**[14:09] Nagisa**
But Rei-chan, wouldn't it be tough
to cook all of this ourselves?
**[14:13] Gou**
I guess we'll just have to rely on this.
**[14:15] Makoto/Rei**
Enough with that!
**[14:17] Gou**
Oh, you boys can be so picky sometimes!
**[14:19] Rei**
I think we have every right to be.
**[14:21] Haruka**
I'll come up with a recipe.
**[14:22] All**
Huh?
**[14:23] Nagisa**
Haru-chan's up for the challenge!
**[14:25] Gou**
You can't make it nothing but mackerel, okay?
**[14:28] Haruka**
I know.
**[14:30] Sasabe**
Hey, sorry I'm late!
**[14:33] Sasabe**
Here's a little reward for your hard work.
**[14:34] ---**
Jump right in and eat up!
**[14:37] Sasabe**
Huh? What's wrong?
**[14:38] Rei**
There's no mistaking how
high-calorie that is.
**[14:42] Rei**
My calculations!
**[14:44] Makoto**
Well, it is a special treat.
**[14:45] Makoto**
So let's put nutritional
science aside for now and eat.
**[14:48] Gou**
There's a famous saying
about how one can't
**[14:50] ---**
wage battle on an empty stomach!
**[14:52] Sasabe**
Yup! No need to hold back!
**[14:53] All**
Thank you for the meal!
**[14:56] Sasabe**
But I do want to apologize
**[14:58] ---**
for not being able
to coach you guys lately.
**[15:01] Sasabe**
Huh?
**[15:02] Sasabe**
This training regimen...
**[15:03] Gou**
It's the strength-building regimen
**[15:05] ---**
I made to prepare us for prefecturals.
**[15:08] Sasabe**
This is impressive!
**[15:10] ---**
You've really done your homework, Gou!
**[15:12] Gou**
Thanks!
**[15:13] Rei**
This is truly a work of perfection.
**[15:16] Rei**
Gou-san, I apologize for
thinking all this time
**[15:18] ---**
that you were simply a muscle maniac!
**[15:20] Gou**
Oh, it's fine, Rei-kun.
**[15:22] Gou**
All this time, I'd been thinking you
were nothing but a theory maniac!
**[15:26] Rei**
What? A theory maniac?
**[15:28] Gou**
It's totally you, don't you think?
***SIGN*** Muscles aren't built in a day!
**[15:35] Nagisa**
But this training regimen looks really hard!
**[15:38] Makoto**
Yeah, swimming eight kilometers
in a single day...
**[15:40] Rei**
Will we really be able to complete all that?
**[15:42] Sasabe**
What are you kids wussing out for?
**[15:44] Sasabe**
You can do it!
**[15:46] ---**
You're way beyond where you
were last year already!
**[15:48] Sasabe**
You're gonna make it all the
way to nationals this year!
**[15:55] Rin**
You don't have to make yourself jog with me.
**[15:57] Sousuke**
I should do this at least once in
a while, to keep myself in shape.
**[16:01] Rin**
If you say so.
**[16:08] Sousuke**
That's...
**[16:11] Rin**
That Ai... He might really
make it onto the relay team!
**[16:16] Sousuke**
Hey, Rin...
**[16:18] Sousuke**
Between your dream and the relay,
**[16:20] ---**
which one's more important to you?
**[16:22] Rin**
Huh?
**[16:24] Rin**
They're both important to me, of course.
**[16:26] Sousuke**
If you're really serious about
competing at an international level,
**[16:29] Sousuke**
you can't keep going on about friends
and relays and stuff like that.
**[16:32] Sousuke**
You should use all your time for yourself.
**[16:34] Sousuke**
Use every second of every
minute to train hard.
**[16:37] Sousuke**
If you keep obsessing over the relay,
**[16:38] ---**
your dreams are gonna
slip through your hands.
**[16:40] Sousuke**
There's no time to play at
this "being buddies" thing.
**[16:48] Rin**
You're wrong.
**[16:50] Rin**
Back when I was young, and even now,
**[16:52] ---**
it was because I had friends
who saved me, who supported me,
**[16:54] Rin**
that I've managed to come this far.
**[16:57] Rin**
I'm who I am because I have friends.
**[16:59] Rin**
Of course my dream is important to me.
**[17:01] Rin**
But being able to swim with friends
**[17:03] ---**
is the source of my strength.
**[17:07] Rin**
So even if you try to tell
me I'm being too naive,
**[17:10] Rin**
I'll show you that I can have both.
**[17:12] Rin**
My dream, and a relay with my friends.
**[17:15] Rin**
I'll swim with the greatest team I can,
and make all of this a reality.
**[17:21] Sousuke**
In that case...
**[17:23] Sousuke**
Count me in as one of those friends.
**[17:25] Rin**
One of those friends?
**[17:27] Sousuke**
I want to swim the relay too.
**[17:30] Rin**
Sousuke...
**[17:31] Rin**
But you said relays were...
**[17:34] Rin**
*What, you jerk? What did you just say?!*
**[17:36] Woman**
*Stop, you two!*
**[17:40] Rin**
*Don't ever insult my dad again.*
**[17:43] Sousuke**
*I didn't say that to insult him.*
**[17:45] Sousuke**
*I'm sorry.*
**[17:47] Rin**
*Why'd you swim like that today?*
**[17:52] Rin**
*Say something.*
**[17:54] Sousuke**
* I guess for me, swimming really*
* is an individual sport.*
**[17:58] Sousuke**
*When you dive in the water, you're alone.*
**[18:00] Sousuke**
* And it's not like feeling all*
* buddy-buddy makes you any faster.*
**[18:02] Rin**
*You're totally wrong!*
**[18:04] ---**
*A relay's all about the team!*
**[18:05] Rin**
*Why can't you understand that?*
**[18:08] Sousuke**
*We think too differently about this.*
**[18:10] Sousuke**
*You and I are better off not teaming up.*
**[18:16] Sousuke**
*I swim for myself.*
**[18:18] Sousuke**
* So I want to swim and be*
* responsible only for myself.*
**[18:25] Sousuke**
It's true that back then,
that was the very most I could do.
**[18:29] Sousuke**
But, I'm different now.
**[18:32] Sousuke**
I get the sense that if I swam the relay
with you, I'd understand something.
**[18:36] Sousuke**
I don't know myself what that something is...
**[18:39] Sousuke**
But I want to try to find it...
That something...
**[18:42] Sousuke**
Is that not enough?
**[18:44] Sousuke**
You promised you'd give
me anything I asked for!
**[18:48] Sousuke**
Rin!
**[18:54] Rin**
Even with that promise, I can't do that.
**[18:57] Rin**
I'm not the one who decides.
**[18:59] Rin**
Members are chosen by their times.
**[19:03] Sousuke**
Right.
**[19:04] Rin**
But...
**[19:06] Rin**
I appreciate that passion in your heart.
**[19:10] Rin**
I hold the records for both freestyle
and butterfly at Samezuka.
**[19:13] Rin**
If you really want to enter the relay,
**[19:15] ---**
win one of the spots with your own power.
**[19:18] Sousuke**
So you're saying that if I beat you,
**[19:19] ---**
I can swim butterfly in the medley relay.
**[19:22] Sousuke**
Then let's have a throwdown.
**[19:23] Sousuke**
Just like that one time.
**[19:25] Rin**
Fine by me. I accept your challenge!
**[19:38] Rin**
We're swimming butterfly.
**[19:39] Rin**
The distance will be 100 meters.
**[19:43] Rin**
Let's do this!
**[19:57] Rin**
*That power...*
**[19:59] Rin**
*He swims without any hesitation.*
**[20:01] Rin**
*That's how you've gotta do it, Sousuke!*
**[20:14] Sousuke**
Yes!
**[20:20] Rin**
You finally showed me
what you're capable of.
**[20:24] Rin**
It isn't just your heart.
**[20:26] ---**
Your strength's for real, too.
**[20:28] Rin**
Thanks to you, I've found my resolve too.
**[20:32] Rin**
Thank you, Sousuke.
**[20:36] Rin**
Everyone, listen up.
**[20:38] Rin**
It's nearly time to submit our entries
for the prefectural tournament.
**[20:41] Rin**
With that in mind,
I'm thinking of changing how
**[20:43] ---**
the entrants for the relay
will be chosen this year.
**[20:46] Rin**
Normally, the four spots go to the
four people with the fastest times.
**[20:50] Rin**
But this year, whatever your speed,
**[20:52] ---**
if you prefer to focus on
your individual events,
**[20:54] ---**
you don't need to enter the relay.
**[20:56] Rin**
I'll pick the relay team only out of
those who *want* to enter it.
**[21:00] Rin**
Of course, it goes without saying
**[21:03] ---**
that you need both will
and speed to be chosen.
**[21:05] Rin**
What I'm proposing is probably wrong
of me to suggest, as your captain.
**[21:09] Rin**
I know the best way to do this is to
go by fastest times, as we always have.
**[21:14] Rin**
But I want you to understand
what the relay means to me.
**[21:20] Rin**
I want to swim a *real*
relay with teammates who
**[21:24] ---**
*really* want to be there.
**[21:26] Rin**
Anything else would feel
meaningless, even if we did win.
**[21:28] Rin**
That's why I want you guys
to match my feelings.
**[21:33] Rin**
So, everyone who really wants to
compete in the relay, step forward!
**[21:37] Rin**
We'll start from there!
**[23:12] Nagisa**
Hey, hey! When you guys eat
an Iwatobi Cream Bread,
**[23:15] ---**
where do you start from?
**[23:16] Rei**
I suppose I'd start eating
from its rear end.
**[23:18] Makoto**
I'd start with its head.
**[23:20] Haruka**
I'd start from its right cheek.
**[23:21] Rei**
What about you, Nagisa-kun?
**[23:22] Nagisa**
I'd start by ripping its
head off and sucking out
**[23:24] ---**
the jam and marmalade from its body!
**[23:25] Makoto**
That's kind of violent.
**[23:27] Haruka**
Next episode: A Resolution's Heads-Up!"
***SIGN*** A Resolution's Heads-Up!
**[23:29] Nagisa**
I'll demonstrate how I eat
one now, so watch closely!

**[00:03] Makoto**
Haru?
**[00:05] Makoto**
Huh?
**[00:06] Makoto**
Since summer started and he can swim again,
**[00:08] ---**
he had stopped taking cold baths...
**[00:12] Makoto**
Haru, I'm coming in!
**[00:14] Makoto**
How long are you going
to keep taking cold baths?
**[00:17] Makoto**
Let's go, Haru—
**[00:21] Nagisa**
Mako-chan!
**[01:57] Makoto**
Jeez,
**[01:59] ---**
you really scared me.
***SIGN*** A Resolution's Heads-Up!
**[02:02] Nagisa**
Sorry, Mako-chan! I couldn't help myself.
**[02:04] Makoto**
Couldn't help yourself?!
**[02:05] Rei**
And why were you at Haruka-senpai's house?
**[02:08] Makoto**
He said he had stayed the night.
**[02:10] Makoto**
Right, Haru?
**[02:12] Haruka**
Yeah, last night...
**[02:19] Haruka**
*All right.*
**[02:31] Nagisa**
*Aw, it bent again!*
**[02:34] Nagisa**
*Oh well!*
**[02:37] Nagisa**
*Huh?*
**[02:39] Nagisa**
*It's a new era!*
**[02:45] Nagisa**
*Here it is!*
**[02:48] Nagisa**
*Shazam!*
**[02:50] Haruka**
*Nagisa...*
**[02:51] Nagisa**
*H-Haru-chan?!*
**[02:53] Haruka**
*What are you doing?*
**[02:57] Nagisa**
*Uh... I came to watch the Leonids!*
**[03:01] Haruka**
*That's fine, but don't start a fire up here.*
**[03:03] Nagisa**
*Oh, yeah. You're right.*
**[03:06] Haruka**
That's why I brought him back to my house.
**[03:08] Nagisa**
Yeah...
**[03:10] Rei**
But the Leonids are in the autumn.
**[03:12] Nagisa**
Oh! I had it wrong!
**[03:15] Nagisa**
How careless of me!
**[03:17] Nagisa**
Anyway, about today's practice...
**[03:20] ---**
I think we should train even harder than usual.
**[03:23] Nagisa**
What do you say?
**[03:24] Makoto**
Sure...
**[03:26] Nagisa**
We could practice with paddles, and also...
**[03:33] Nitori**
Nice work out there!
**[03:35] Rin**
Thanks.
**[03:37] Rin**
What is it, Sousuke?
**[03:39] Sousuke**
Oh, just...
**[03:39] Sousuke**
Have you toned up more lately?
**[03:41] Nitori**
Now that you mention it...
**[03:43] Rin**
Yeah.
**[03:44] Rin**
I think my current training
regimen better suits me.
**[03:47] Nitori**
Impressive as always!
**[03:48] ---**
You never get complacent, do you?
**[03:50] Rin**
Of course not.
**[03:52] Rin**
Someone who's complacent can't
compete on an international level.
**[03:55] Rin**
Right, Sousuke?
**[03:57] Sousuke**
Yeah. That's right.
**[03:59] Momo**
Rin-senpai!
**[04:01] Momo**
Check out my swimming!
**[04:04] ---**
Hey!
**[04:04] ---**
Ow!
**[04:05] Member**
What are you doing, Momo?!
**[04:07] Rin**
Are you swimming or talking? Just pick one.
**[04:10] Ama-chan**
That's all for today!
**[04:12] All**
Good job, everyone!
**[04:14] Makoto**
It's this late already?
**[04:16] Rei**
My arms are completely worn out
from practicing with the paddles.
**[04:19] Makoto**
You'll get used to it in time.
**[04:21] Makoto**
Though, I think Haru enjoys
practicing with fins more.
**[04:25] Rei**
Fins?
**[04:26] Haruka**
Swim fins.
**[04:28] Rei**
Oh, I see.
**[04:29] Makoto**
Am I right?
**[04:30] Haruka**
Not really.
**[04:32] Rei**
Nagisa-kun?
**[04:34] Nagisa**
Wh-What is it?
**[04:35] Rei**
What's the matter? You're spacing out.
**[04:38] Makoto**
Even you're tired out, Nagisa?
**[04:40] Nagisa**
Yeah, even me...
**[04:43] Rei**
You're the one who said
we should train hard today.
**[04:46] Rei**
So how can you be so worn out?
**[04:49] Nagisa**
Even I
**[04:51] ---**
get tired sometimes!
**[04:53] Rei**
Nagisa-kun?
**[04:54] Nagisa**
S-Sorry, Rei-chan!
**[04:56] Nagisa**
Oh, I think I left something in the club room!
**[04:59] Nagisa**
You guys go on ahead! I'll see you tomorrow!
**[05:02] Rei**
Nagisa-kun?!
**[05:04] Makoto**
I feel like we've seen something
similar to this before...
**[05:07] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[05:08] Rei**
What are you talking about?
**[05:10] Haruka**
Nothing.
**[05:11] Makoto**
It's nothing.
**[05:12] Makoto**
Still, didn't something seem
weird about Nagisa?
**[05:16] Rei**
Yes... I can't say how, exactly,
but he's not his usual self.
**[05:23] Haruka**
Might be too sweet...

That's very you, Haru-chan.
**[05:59] Nagisa**
That reminds me, I should turn mine in, too.
**[06:02] Haruka**
Have you thought of what you want to be?
**[06:04] Nagisa**
Yup!
**[06:06] Nagisa**
I want to be a penguin keeper,
or a treasure hunter!
**[06:11] Nagisa**
It might be cool to be a diver, too!
**[06:12] Nagisa**
But since I want to travel the world,
maybe I should be a tour guide.
**[06:16] Nagisa**
Hmm... It sure is hard to narrow
it down to just one thing, huh?
**[06:21] Haruka**
Is that what you call a plan?
**[06:25] Haruka**
But in your case, you could probably
become anything you wanted.
**[06:28] Nagisa**
Huh?
**[06:29] Nagisa**
I think that goes more for you.
**[06:31] Nagisa**
I mean, you're good with your
hands, you can cook really well...
**[06:35] Nagisa**
You're even good at drawing!
**[06:36] Nagisa**
You're lucky, Haru-chan. You can do anything.
**[06:39] Nagisa**
Plus, you swim better than anyone!
**[06:42] Nagisa**
You could even become a pro swimmer!
**[06:48] Haruka**
I'm not interested.
**[06:49] Nagisa**
What?!
**[06:51] Nagisa**
That sounds just like you, though.
**[06:54] Haruka**
So...
**[06:55] Nagisa**
Huh?
**[06:56] Haruka**
Why did you come to my
house so late at night?
**[06:58] Nagisa**
Huh? Um, well, I wanted
to watch the Leonids—
**[07:01] Haruka**
That's in autumn, isn't it?
**[07:04] Nagisa**
Well...
**[07:06] Haruka**
Are you hiding som—
**[07:07] Nagisa**
Ah! I guess I'd better get home!
**[07:10] Nagisa**
Sorry for bothering you!
**[07:12] Haruka**
Uh, hey, Nagisa!
**[07:15] Nagisa**
Mako-chan!
**[07:16] Nagisa**
I came to hang out!
**[07:18] Makoto**
Huh? Nagisa?
**[07:19] Makoto**
At this hour?
**[07:20] Nagisa**
Aww, it's okay, isn't it?
**[07:23] Makoto**
Oh! Haru...
**[07:28] Makoto**
So, what happened?
**[07:33] Mako/Haru**
You ran away?!
**[07:36] Nagisa**
Yeah...
**[07:37] Makoto**
Why'd you do that?
**[07:39] Nagisa**
Because...
**[07:41] Nagisa**
Just let me stay with you for
a while, and don't ask why!
**[07:44] Nagisa**
Please!
**[07:46] Makoto**
No.
**[07:47] Nagisa**
Mako-chan...
**[07:49] Haruka**
You can't just ask to stay
with us and not say why.
**[07:52] Nagisa**
Aw, don't say that!
**[07:56] Makoto**
No means no.
**[07:57] Makoto**
You need to go home right—
**[07:59] Nagisa**
Please!
**[08:04] Nagisa**
Please...
**[08:11] Haruka**
Okay. Goodbye.
**[08:14] Makoto**
Were you on the phone, Haru?
**[08:16] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[08:16] Haruka**
How'd it go with Nagisa?
**[08:18] Makoto**
No luck. He completely
refuses to explain himself.
**[08:23] Rei**
What's all this about Nagisa-kun
running away from home?
**[08:26] Haruka**
Rei, calm down.
**[08:28] Rei**
Where is Nagisa-kun?
**[08:29] Makoto**
Nagisa's fine. He's in the living room.
**[08:32] Makoto**
He refuses to tell us why he ran away.
**[08:36] Makoto**
He must have left home yesterday.
**[08:38] Haruka**
That would make sense.
**[08:40] Rei**
I guess this explains
**[08:42] ---**
why Nagisa-kun seemed odd today.
**[08:45] Makoto**
Now that I think about it,
**[08:46] ---**
I don't know much about Nagisa's home life.
**[08:49] Rei**
Same with me.
**[08:50] Haruka**
He doesn't talk about his parents.
**[08:54] Makoto**
Well, it won't help to talk about it here.
**[08:57] Makoto**
I'll try to persuade him.
**[08:59] Makoto**
I think talking one-on-one
will be more effective.
**[09:03] Rei**
You're right.
**[09:04] ---**
Please talk to him, Makoto-senpai!
**[09:06] Haruka**
We're counting on you, Makoto.
**[09:07] Makoto**
Got it!
**[09:09] Makoto**
Nagisa, I'm coming in.
**[09:14] Makoto**
Poor Nagisa!
**[09:16] Makoto**
His parents are forcing him to go
to the supercontinent of Pangaea!
**[09:18] Makoto**
We have to help him!
**[09:21] Haruka**
What are you talking about?
**[09:22] Rei**
There's no such place!
**[09:24] Makoto**
Huh? There isn't?!
**[09:25] Rei**
It doesn't exist!
**[09:27] ---**
How could you be tricked by that?!
**[09:28] Makoto**
He tricked me?!
**[09:29] Rei**
Yes!
**[09:31] Haruka**
I'll talk to him.
**[09:32] Makoto**
Haru...
**[09:33] Rei**
Haruka-senpai, we'll leave this to you!
**[09:37] Haruka**
Nagisa, sit down for a moment...
**[09:42] Haruka**
I've decided to let Nagisa stay with me!

**[09:48] Rei**
Clearly, this cannot be
left to the two of you!
**[09:50] Rei**
I shall speak with him!
**[09:51] ---**
There are none who can stand against
my logic-based negotiation methods!
**[09:56] Haruka**
Rei...
**[09:57] Rei**
Please call me Ryugazaki Rei, the Negotiator!
**[10:03] Rei**
I've figured out who the perpetrator is!
**[10:06] Makoto**
What perpetrator?!
**[10:09] Haruka**
Just tell us what's up, Nagisa.
**[10:11] Rei**
What caused you to run away?
**[10:17] Makoto**
You're making Haru and Rei worry about you.
**[10:19] Makoto**
You should at least tell us why you ran away.
**[10:22] Haruka**
Nagisa...
**[10:23] Nagisa**
Mako-chan, Haru-chan...
**[10:24] Rei**
Do you trust us that little?
**[10:27] Nagisa**
No!
**[10:30] Nagisa**
I'm sorry for making you guys worry.
**[10:34] Nagisa**
Yeah, you're right.
**[10:37] ---**
I'll tell you the truth.
**[10:39] Nagisa**
I may be forced to quit the swim club.
**[10:43] Mako/Rei**
Huh?!
**[10:45] Rei**
Why would you...
**[10:46] Nagisa**
To be honest, my test scores
have been really bad lately.
**[10:50] Nagisa**
And my parents really go
nuts over stuff like that.
**[10:53] Nagisa**
So they ordered me to quit the swim club.
**[10:56] Nagisa**
But of course, I would never agree to do that!
**[10:59] Nagisa**
That's why I ran away from home.
**[11:01] Makoto**
But if that's the case, you just need
to improve your grades, right?
**[11:04] Rei**
That's right! I would gladly help you study!
**[11:07] Rei**
So if we tell your parents that—
**[11:09] Nagisa**
Once my parents tell me I can't do something,
**[11:11] ---**
they'll never allow it.
**[11:14] Rei**
But if we just told them clearly—
**[11:16] Nagisa**
I'm telling you, they just won't listen!
**[11:19] Rei**
Nagisa-kun...
**[11:22] Makoto**
But you can't go on living
like this either, right?
**[11:26] Nagisa**
I understand that, but...
**[11:29] Rei**
Nagisa-kun...
**[11:31] Rei**
Were you thinking that if you don't go home,
**[11:33] ---**
your parents would eventually
acknowledge your swimming?
**[11:37] Nagisa**
Yeah...
**[11:38] Haruka**
Rei?
**[11:39] Rei**
Were you honestly thinking they'd
give their approval based on that?
**[11:43] Rei**
If you want their approval,
**[11:45] ---**
aren't there much better ways to get it?
**[11:47] Rei**
And if you did get their
approval using such a method,
**[11:50] Rei**
could you really swim at
full strength after that?!
**[11:53] Makoto**
Rei, just leave it at that.
***SIGN*** Mom's heading your way! Looks like she intends to bring you home.
**[11:59] Nagisa**
Huh?!
**[12:00] Makoto**
What's wrong?
**[12:01] Nagisa**
It says my mother is coming
here to take me back home!
**[12:04] Mako/Rei**
Huh?!
**[12:05] Nagisa**
Wh-Wh-What do I do?!
**[12:06] Makoto**
What do you mean, what?
**[12:08] Rei**
We haven't come up with a solution yet!
**[12:10] Nagisa**
If I get dragged back home now...
**[12:12] Haruka**
All of you, calm down.
**[12:15] Nagisa**
Haru-chan?
**[12:16] Haruka**
Let's go.
**[12:17] Makoto**
I guess there's really
nowhere else we could go.
**[12:19] Rei**
The school would be a bad idea.
**[12:21] Makoto**
Good thing we were able to
borrow the keys to this place.
**[12:27] Nagisa**
I'm sorry!
**[12:28] Nagisa**
I ended up dragging you guys into this.
**[12:31] Haruka**
A little late for that now.
**[12:32] Makoto**
We're already in for the ride.
**[12:34] Rei**
Yes. So let's think of a solution together!
**[12:41] Nagisa**
Okay!
**[12:42] Haruka**
If we stay in the lobby, we might be seen.
**[12:44] Rei**
In that case, we should head to the locker room.
**[12:46] Makoto**
Huh?! But look how dark it is back there.
**[12:50] Makoto**
Wh-What if there's a ghost?
**[12:51] Rei**
Such unscientific things don't exist.
**[12:54] Makoto**
So you say, but they might be here!
**[12:56] Haruka**
Makoto, you're being too loud.
**[12:58] Makoto**
Sorry...
**[12:59] Rei**
In any case, let's stay here for a while.
**[13:02] Rei**
I still think the only solution is to
**[13:04] ---**
get your grades back up and
earn your parents' approval.
**[13:07] Makoto**
That'd be the most straightforward method.
**[13:10] Rei**
Nagisa-kun, just how bad
**[13:12] ---**
were these grades that made
your parents so angry?
**[13:15] Nagisa**
Well, uh...
**[13:19] [Messenger] Hand-written note**
Excellent!
**[13:20] Makoto**
That's a pretty extreme gap.
**[13:21] Rei**
No wonder they got mad.
**[13:25] Makoto**
But, Nagisa, didn't you go
to a private middle school?
**[13:28] Nagisa**
Yeah. It was a prep school.
**[13:30] Rei**
And last year, your grades
weren't this bad, right?
**[13:35] Rei**
So why?
**[13:36] Nagisa**
It's because
**[13:38] Nagisa**
I hate studying.
**[13:40] Rei**
You hate studying?
**[13:41] ---**
Are you sure you don't just
lack the attention span?
**[13:44] Nagisa**
It's not that.
**[13:46] Nagisa**
It was really hard on me.
**[13:51] Nagisa**
It was my parents who picked
my middle school for me.
**[13:54] Nagisa**
They wanted me to go to a good university and
**[13:56] ---**
get hired by a good company.
**[13:59] Nagisa**
During middle school...
**[14:03] Nagisa**
I spent every single day studying.
**[14:06] Nagisa**
There was nothing in my life
that could be considered fun.
**[14:10] Nagisa**
Over time, I no longer understood
what I was studying so hard for.
**[14:16] Nagisa**
From then on, studying started
to become painful for me.
**[14:20] Nagisa**
My parents hated seeing me like that,
**[14:22] ---**
so they allowed me to come to Iwatobi High.
**[14:27] Nagisa**
That's why I can swim with you guys like this.
**[14:29] Nagisa**
I couldn't live up to my parents' expectations,
**[14:32] Nagisa**
but if I'd continued on in that prep school,
**[14:34] ---**
I'd never have been able to swim.
**[14:37] Haruka**
Why Iwatobi?
**[14:39] Haruka**
If you just wanted to swim,
you could have done it anywhere.
**[14:43] Nagisa**
That's
**[14:46] Nagisa**
obvious, isn't it?
**[14:48] ---**
It was because I wanted to swim
with you and Mako-chan again.
**[14:52] Nagisa**
Then I met Rei-chan, too,
**[14:54] ---**
and swimming got even more fun.
**[14:56] Nagisa**
Swimming with you guys makes
me happier than I can say!
**[15:04] Nagisa**
That's why, when they told
me to quit the swim club,
**[15:07] ---**
it was like everything I could see went dark.
**[15:09] Nagisa**
I thought it'd be like before,
when there was nothing
**[15:11] ---**
in my life that was any fun.
**[15:13] Makoto**
That's why you ran away from home?
**[15:16] Nagisa**
Yeah...
**[15:17] Rei**
Do your parents know that you feel this way?
**[15:21] Nagisa**
Huh?
**[15:23] Nagisa**
I doubt it.
**[15:24] ---**
Even if I tried to tell them,
I don't think they'd listen.
**[15:33] Rei**
Someone's coming!
**[15:34] Makoto**
Could it be a club member?
**[15:36] Nagisa**
Isn't this an odd time for someone to come?
**[15:39] Rei**
Then, could it be Nagisa-kun's parents?
**[15:41] Makoto**
Anyway, let's hide!
**[15:43] Rei**
Right! Nagisa-kun!
**[15:44] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[15:46] Makoto**
Haru! Hurry!
**[15:48] Haruka**
Right.
**[15:52] Makoto**
They shouldn't find us in here, right?
**[15:54] Rei**
Probably not.
**[15:56] Nagisa**
I wonder if it's my mother...
**[15:57] Rei**
Shh! Quiet!
**[16:12] Makoto**
Let's go further inside
while we can. To the pool.
**[16:15] Makoto**
I'm sure they wouldn't come
this far inside, right?
**[16:17] Nagisa**
Yeah.
**[16:20] Makoto**
Rei, is something wrong?
**[16:25] Rei**
Nagisa-kun, there's one
thing I want to ask you.
**[16:29] Nagisa**
Rei-chan?
**[16:30] Rei**
You said that you haven't tried
to talk to your parents, right?
**[16:35] Rei**
Doesn't that mean you'd given up
on talking to them from the start?
**[16:41] Rei**
About your middle school, and about this...
**[16:44] Rei**
And about how you really feel.
**[16:46] Rei**
You gave up before you
even tried, didn't you?
**[16:52] Rei**
Well?
**[16:53] Makoto**
Hey, Rei...
**[16:55] Nagisa**
That's... not true...
**[16:57] Rei**
Then face forward and speak to them.
**[17:00] Makoto**
Come on, you two...
**[17:02] Rei**
Or are you going
**[17:04] Rei**
to give up this time, too?
**[17:08] Nagisa**
Rei-chan, you
**[17:09] Nagisa**
could never understand!
**[17:12] Nagisa**
You could never...
**[17:15] Rei**
I don't understand how
things are at your house.
**[17:18] Rei**
But I do want all four of us to swim together.
**[17:23] Makoto**
Rei...
**[17:24] Rei**
In that respect, I feel the same as you.
**[17:27] Rei**
Or are your feelings something
you could give up on so easily?
**[17:32] Nagisa**
O-Of course not!
**[17:33] Rei**
I believe that you're a person
who never gives up.
**[17:39] Rei**
Because, despite all the times I refused you,
**[17:41] Rei**
you stubbornly kept after me
until I joined the swim club.
**[17:45] Nagisa**
Rei-chan...
**[17:50] Nagisa**
I don't...
**[17:52] Nagisa**
I don't want to give up, either!
**[17:54] Nagisa**
I want to stay in the swim
club, and I want to decide
**[17:58] Nagisa**
all kinds of things for myself!
**[18:06] Rei**
Then we'll all go now, together,
to talk to your parents.
**[18:11] Rei**
We'll come up with a logical approach—
**[18:13] Makoto**
What was that?!
**[18:15] Haruka**
They followed us this far?
**[18:16] Rei**
Wh-What do we do?
**[18:17] ---**
We haven't thought up a plan yet!
**[18:19] Haruka**
Hide somewhere, Nagisa!
**[18:21] Rei**
There's no place to hide by a pool!
**[18:23] Makoto**
Nagisa! Hide behind me!
**[18:25] ---**
Hurry!
**[18:26] Rei**
We'll take care of this somehow!
**[18:28] Haruka**
Nagisa!
**[18:31] Nagisa**
You guys...
**[18:33] ---**
Thank you.
**[18:35] Nagisa**
*I won't run away anymore.*
**[18:38] Makoto**
Nagisa?
**[18:48] Nagisa**
I've been holding a lot back for a long time!
**[18:52] Nagisa**
I was never able to say everything I wanted to!
**[18:55] Nagisa**
I've always done what you've told me to!
**[18:57] Nagisa**
And I've never enjoyed any of it!
**[19:00] Nagisa**
But that's because I was weak.
**[19:03] Nagisa**
I've just kept running away from
facing you, Mom and Dad...
**[19:06] Nagisa**
Because I'd given up before I even tried!
**[19:09] Nagisa**
That's why I...
**[19:11] Nagisa**
I don't want to run away anymore!
**[19:13] Nagisa**
Haru-chan,
**[19:15] ---**
Mako-chan,
**[19:16] ---**
and Rei-chan...
**[19:19] Nagisa**
I want to swim with my friends!
**[19:22] Nagisa**
That's why...
**[19:24] ---**
I want you to listen to what I—
**[19:27] Nagisa**
Huh?
**[19:32] Makoto**
Miss Ama-chan!
**[19:33] Ama-chan**
Hazuki-kun!
**[19:34] Ama-chan**
There's a saying that goes, "The
child knows not the parent's heart."
**[19:42] Ama-chan**
Your parents are very worried about you.
**[19:44] Ama-chan**
Go home.
**[19:50] Nagisa**
Okay.
**[19:53] Ama-chan**
Sorry. I couldn't find the
right moment to come out.
**[19:57] Rei**
But why are you here, Sensei?
**[19:59] Haruka**
I called her.
**[20:02] Ama-chan**
Nanase-kun called me earlier
**[20:04] Ama-chan**
to ask that I let you boys
take care of Hazuki-kun.
**[20:07] Makoto**
Haru!
**[20:09] Haruka**
What?
**[20:11] Haruka**
I still didn't know who it
was that came in earlier.
**[20:14] Nagisa**
Haru-chan...
**[20:15] Ama-chan**
Hazuki-kun, tell your parents
how you feel honestly.
**[20:20] Ama-chan**
If it still doesn't work,
we'll all think of a plan together.
**[20:25] Nagisa**
Okay! I will.
**[20:28] Makoto**
Then, let's go, shall we?
**[20:29] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[20:31] Haruka**
What are you doing, Nagisa?
**[20:33] Makoto**
You're going to talk to your parents, right?
**[20:35] Nagisa**
Yes, but...
**[20:37] Rei**
We're saying that we'll come with you.
**[20:39] Rei**
We can't allow our swim club
to lose a member now!
**[20:43] Rei**
Especially not the person who pestered
and cajoled me until I joined.
**[20:49] Rei**
I'll never allow him to leave.
**[20:53] Makoto**
Come on, let's go!
**[20:55] Haruka**
Nagisa...
**[20:57] Nagisa**
Okay!
**[20:58] Nagisa**
Wait for me!
**[21:03] Gou**
What?!
**[21:04] Gou**
So that's what happened?
**[21:06] Nagisa**
Sorry I didn't say anything to you, Gou-chan.
**[21:09] Rei**
But thank goodness you were
**[21:11] ---**
able to get your parents' approval
to stay in the swim club!
**[21:14] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[21:16] ---**
Even though it was on the
condition that I study harder.
**[21:18] Nagisa**
And since they said, "If that's how you
feel, you'd better make it to nationals,"
**[21:22] Nagisa**
we definitely have to make it
there and surprise them!
**[21:27] Makoto**
Then we'll have to work harder than ever!
**[21:30] Rei**
Naturally!
**[21:31] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[21:32] Nagisa**
Okay, let's train super hard, then!
**[21:35] Nagisa**
We're aiming for nationals!
**[21:38] All**
Yeah!
**[23:12] Rin**
It's prefecturals at last.
**[23:13] Rin**
Let's get pumped up.
**[23:14] Rin**
But what's wrong, Rei?
**[23:15] Rei**
Rin-san, Haruka-senpai won't
let go of that canned mackerel!
**[23:19] Haruka**
This isn't just any canned mackerel!
**[23:20] Haruka**
It's mackerel pole-fished at the junction of
**[23:21] ---**
the Pacific Ocean and the Seto Inland Sea,
**[23:23] Haruka**
renowned for its freshness.
This is legendary canned mackerel!
**[23:25] Rin**
Confiscating!
**[23:26] Rei**
Next episode, Invincible Prime!
***SIGN*** Invincible Prime!
**[23:28] Haruka**
Give it back, Rin!
**[23:29] Rin**
Haru...
**[23:30] Rin**

legendary canned mackerel is!

***SIGN*** One Day Until Prefecturals!!
***SIGN*** Tomorrow is Prefecturals!!
**[00:09] Gou**
At last, the prefecturals start tomorrow!
**[00:11] Gou**
Everyone, please make sure
to get plenty of rest today!
**[00:15] Gou**
We'll meet tomorrow in front
of the venue at 8 AM sharp!
**[00:17] Gou**
Tardiness is strictly prohibited!
**[00:19] Gou**
Is everyone ready?
**[00:21] Nagisa**
Totally! We're fired up and ready to go!
**[00:23] Nagisa**
We even got our new matching swimsuits!
**[00:27] Makoto**
True.
**[00:28] Makoto**
Then, let's go over the
schedule one more time.
**[00:31] Makoto**
The first day will be for individual events,
**[00:34] ---**
and the second day is the relay.
**[00:35] Makoto**
Our entries in the individual events are...
**[00:37] Makoto**
Nagisa in the 100m breaststroke.
**[00:38] Nagisa**
Yep!
**[00:40] Makoto**
Rei, the 100m butterfly.
**[00:41] Rei**
Yes.
**[00:42] Makoto**
Haru will swim the 100m and 200m freestyle.
**[00:45] Makoto**
And I'll do the 100m backstroke
and the 200m freestyle.
**[00:50] Ama-chan**
But Tachibana-kun, why did
you choose the 200m freestyle
**[00:53] ---**
instead of the 100?
**[00:54] Makoto**
Because I'd have absolutely no chance
against Haru in the 100m.
**[00:57] Rei**
Makoto-senpai, you've worked really hard
**[01:00] ---**
and spent more time training every day
**[01:02] Rei**
in preparation for the 200m
freestyle, haven't you?
**[01:04] Makoto**
Though I still feel like it isn't
enough to compete with Haru.
**[01:32] Makoto**
Hey, Haru...
**[01:36] Makoto**
I have a request.
***SIGN*** Invincible Prime!
**[03:16] Makoto**
*Hey, Haru-chan!*
**[03:18] Makoto**
*Why don't we join the swimming club together?*
**[03:21] Haruka**
*Nah, it's too much trouble.*
**[03:23] Makoto**
*But you love to swim, don't you?*
**[03:26] Haruka**
*I don't love it that much.*
**[03:28] Haruka**
*If you want to join, then join by yourself.*
**[03:32] Makoto**
*Then I won't join, either.*
**[03:34] Haruka**
*Why not?*
**[03:36] Makoto**
*Because*
**[03:37] Makoto**
*there's no point if you're not with me!*
**[03:42] Coach**
* We have two new members of*
* the Iwatobi Swimming Club today!*
**[03:45] Coach**
*Nanase Haruka-kun and Tachibana Makoto-kun!*
**[03:48] Makoto**
*I-It's nice to meet you.*
**[03:51] Students**
*Nice to meet you!*
**[03:57] Kid 1**
*Wow!*
**[03:58] Kid 2**
*He's awesome!*
**[04:05] Makoto**
*Here.*
**[04:07] Makoto**
* In the water, you really*
* are the best, Haru-chan!*
**[04:12] Haruka**
*What are you talking about?*
**[04:16] Sasabe**
*Hey, you two new kids!*
**[04:18] Sasabe**
*Did you have fun today?*
***SIGN*** New Member Bonus
**[04:20] Makoto**
*Yes!*
**[04:22] Makoto**
*Haru-chan says he had fun, too!*
**[04:25] Sasabe**
*You boys are really close, aren't you?*
**[04:27] Sasabe**
*Oh, right! This is a bonus for new members.*
**[04:31] Sasabe**
*You can each pick whichever one you like.*
**[04:35] Sasabe**
*The dolphin ones are really popular!*
**[04:38] Sasabe**
*We've only got this one left.*
**[04:39] Sasabe**
*Use rock-paper-scissors to decide.*
**[04:41] Sasabe**
*Go on. Rock, paper—*
**[04:43] Makoto**
*I think I'd rather have this one.*
**[04:46] Haruka**
*But you...*
**[04:47] Makoto**
*I like this one, too.*
**[04:50] Makoto**
*Here, Haru-chan!*
**[05:08] Rin**
Hey!
**[05:09] Rin**
Be careful.
**[05:11] Gou**
Thanks.
**[05:24] Rin**
*Dad...*
**[05:26] Rin**
*It's my final summer of high school.*
**[05:29] Rin**
*Please watch over me.*
**[05:31] Gou**
Onii-chan, are you okay on time?
**[05:33] Gou**
You need to get back to Samezuka
**[05:35] ---**
so you can take your swim team
to the tournament, right?
**[05:39] Rin**
Yeah, I'd better, since I'm captain.
***SIGN*** Matsuoka Family Grave
**[05:42] Gou**
Well then, Father, we'll see you later!
**[05:45] Rin**
Hey, wait a sec, Gou.
**[05:47] Rin**
I'll give this to you.
**[05:49] Gou**
This is Father's photo?
**[05:51] Rin**
I don't need it anymore.
Take good care of it.
**[05:55] Rin**
Or maybe...
**[05:56] Rin**
I bet if we put it up at the
Iwatobi SC, it'd make Dad happy.
**[06:03] Gou**
Okay!
**[06:05] Gou**
Let's both do our best today!
**[06:07] Rin**
Don't get cocky.
**[06:09] Rin**
Let's go.
**[06:11] Gou**
Wait for me!
**[06:12] Gou**
Onii-chan!
**[06:19] Nagisa**
I haven't been here since last summer.
**[06:22] Nagisa**
I'm getting all fired up now!
**[06:25] Rei**
I was so nervous last year,
I didn't sleep the night before.
**[06:28] Rei**
But I'm different this year!
**[06:30] Rei**
My physical condition is at its peak!
**[06:32] Nagisa**
Rei-chan, it sounds like you've
grown some hair on your chest!
**[06:35] Rei**
Certainly not!
**[06:36] ---**
Nothing so unsightly has grown on me!
**[06:38] Gou**
Guys! Over here!
**[06:41] All**
Good morning!
**[06:43] Ama-chan**
Good morning, everyone.
**[06:45] Sasabe**
We'll be cheering hard for you today!
**[06:47] Samezuka Team**
Good morning!
**[06:50] Nagisa**
It's Rin-chan's team!
**[06:52] Rei**
That's Captain Mikoshiba!
**[06:55] Mikoshiba**
Long time no see, boys!
**[06:56] Mikoshiba**
Have you been working hard
even without me there?
**[06:59] All**
Yes, sir!
**[07:00] Momo**
You didn't have to come out here
just to cheer for us, Nii-chan.
**[07:04] Mikoshiba**
What's the matter, Momotarou?
No need to be shy!
**[07:07] Mikoshiba**
You're only a true athlete
once you can surpass me!
**[07:10] Momo**
That hurts!
**[07:12] Momo**
That hurts, Nii-chan!
**[07:17] Mikoshiba**
Gou-kun!
**[07:17] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[07:22] Gou**
Well then, why don't we all head inside?
**[07:25] Makoto**
Yeah, good idea.
***SIGN*** Fly High, Iwatobi Swim Club!
**[07:34] Nagisa**
Wow...
**[07:36] Nagisa**
Lots of different schools
are here this year, too!
**[07:40] Gou**
* It's been almost a year since*
* I was at a school tournament.*
**[07:43] Gou**
*They really are amazing.*
**[07:44] Gou**
*Real, live muscl—*
**[07:46] Gou**
*No, I can't get all worked up!*
**[07:48] Gou**
*You've gotta hold it in, Gou!*
**[07:52] Rei**
What's wrong, Gou-san?
**[07:54] Haruka**
Are you feeling sick?
**[07:55] Nagisa**
What? Even though you're surrounded
by your beloved muscles?
**[08:00] Gou**
I've made a solemn vow.
**[08:03] Makoto**
A vow?
**[08:04] Gou**
Yes. Until the Iwatobi Swim
Club makes it to nationals,
**[08:08] ---**
muscles are off limits!
**[08:10] Gou**
Even if I see muscles,
I won't get all worked up!
**[08:13] Gou**
And if I do get worked up, I'll suppress it!
**[08:16] Rei**
I don't think that's possible.
**[08:18] Nagisa**
Suppressing things isn't good for your health.
**[08:21] Haruka**
Don't strain yourself.
**[08:22] Makoto**
Everyone, to ensure Gou-chan's
resolve doesn't go to waste,
**[08:26] ---**
let's do our absolute best!
**[08:28] Makoto**
And let's win our way to the top,
all the way to nationals!
**[08:31] All**
Yeah!
**[08:36] Nagisa**
Hey! Ai-chan!
**[08:38] Nagisa**
Bam!
**[08:39] Nitori**
Wh-Wh-What do you think you're doing?!
**[08:42] Nagisa**
You don't have to get so freaked out...
**[08:44] Nitori**
Like I've said, can you please
stop calling me Ai-chan?!
**[08:50] Nitori**
Darn it! I put it on left leg first!
**[08:53] Nitori**
What should I do?!
**[08:54] Nagisa**
Does it matter?
**[08:55] Nitori**
Yes, it matters! It's for good luck!
**[08:59] Nitori**
A while ago, when I put my
swimsuit on right leg first,
**[09:02] ---**
I set a new personal best!
**[09:03] Nitori**
So before big competitions,
**[09:05] ---**
I always put my swimsuit on
starting with the right leg!
**[09:07] Nitori**
Now I'll have to put it on again.
**[09:09] Nagisa**
Hmm, so you think about
stuff like that, Ai-chan?
**[09:12] Nagisa**
Maybe I should try it, too.
**[09:15] Nagisa**
Oh! That reminds me!
**[09:17] Nagisa**
The first time I ate eight Iwatobi
cream breads in one sitting,
**[09:19] ---**
I felt incredible!
**[09:21] Nagisa**
Is is like that?
**[09:23] Nitori**
I'm impressed you didn't
give yourself a stomachache.
**[09:25] Nitori**
Never mind luck.
**[09:27] ---**
You should worry about whether
you're getting the right nutrients!
**[09:30] Nagisa**
Hey! Rin-chan does that
all the time, doesn't he?
**[09:33] Nagisa**
Is that for good luck, too?
**[09:35] Nitori**
No, it's just me copying Rin-senpai.
**[09:39] Announcer**
Men's 100m breaststroke, heat three.
**[09:42] Gou**
First up is Nagisa-kun's breaststroke!
**[09:49] Rei**
What's Nagisa-kun looking at?
**[09:52] Makoto**
That's...
**[09:53] Haruka**
Nagisa's parents!
**[10:06] Announcer**
Ready...
**[10:08] Crowd**
Go!
**[10:10] Sasabe**
Go, go, go, go, go, Nagisa!
**[10:13] All**
Go, go, go, go, go, Nagisa!

Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, Nagisa!
**[10:19] All**
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, Nagisa!
**[10:22] Mihama**
And swim!
**[10:25] Samezuka**
Swim!
**[10:30] Crowd**
And turn!
**[10:33] Rei**
Nagisa-kun's in the lead!
**[10:37] Mihama**
That Nitori's really putting up a fight!
**[10:40] Uozumi**
Yeah! He's catching up to first place!
**[10:43] Ama-chan**
They're catching up to him!
**[10:45] Makoto**
It's okay!
**[10:46] ---**
Nagisa's arms always stretch
out as he nears the finish!
***SIGN*** 1st Hazuki Nagisa
***SIGN*** 4th Nitori Aichirou
***SIGN*** 6th Hazuki Nagisa
**[10:59] Rei**
He did it!
**[11:00] Rei**
Nagisa-kun made it past the prelims!
**[11:02] Gou**
All right!
**[11:03] Sasabe**
Good job, Nagisa!
**[11:09] Mihama**
Looks like Nitori didn't make it past prelims.
**[11:12] Sousuke**
That's what you'd expect.
**[11:13] Mikoshiba**
Nitori's really improved, hasn't he?
**[11:16] Mikoshiba**
Because you've been training him, Matsuoka?
**[11:18] Rin**
No. I didn't do a thing.
**[11:21] Rin**
He's been training hard all on his own.
**[11:25] Mikoshiba**
I see.
**[11:30] Sasabe**
Next up is backstroke, Makoto!
**[11:32] Sasabe**
Keep this momentum going and win it!
**[11:36] Makoto**
Right!
**[11:43] Announcer**
The men's 100m backstroke will now begin.
**[11:48] Gou**
In the lane next to Makoto-senpai
is Samezuka's Uozumi-kun.
**[11:53] Gou**
Looks like he'll swim backstroke
in the medley relay, too.
**[11:55] Nagisa**
So they'll be battling
each other in the backstroke!
**[11:57] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[12:00] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[12:01] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[12:03] Gou**
Ah, he's also entering for Samezuka.
**[12:06] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[12:06] Gou**
Captain Mikoshiba's little brother, I think?
**[12:07] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[12:09] Mihama**
What is that Momo doing, waving at Iwatobi?
**[12:12] Mikoshiba**
Momotarou!
**[12:14] Mikoshiba**
I'll be watching to see if you can capture
**[12:18] Mikoshiba**
Gou-kun's heart with your swimming!
**[12:21] Momo**
You bet! Just leave it to me!
**[12:23] Momo**
Watch me, Nii-chan!
**[12:30] Announcer**
Ready...
**[12:35] Crowd**
Go!
**[12:39] Nitori**
Tachibana-san's so fast!
**[12:41] Mihama**
But Momo's in top form, too!
**[12:44] Sasabe**
Go, go, go, go, go, Makoto!
**[12:47] All**
Go, go, go, go, go, Makoto!
**[12:50] Sasabe**
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, Makoto!
**[12:53] All**
Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, Makoto!
**[12:53] Rin**
Makoto's in first, and second is Uozumi. Wait...
**[12:57] Rin**
It's Momo!
**[12:58] Sousuke**
Usually, being in the end lanes
**[13:00] ---**
gives you a disadvantage
because of the waves.
**[13:02] Rin**
Yeah, but he doesn't look affected by it at all!
**[13:10] Nitori**
Momo-kun's passed Uozumi-kun and
is catching up to Tachibana-san!
***SIGN*** 1st Tachibana Makoto

Hurray!

Momo-kun's time qualified!
**[13:36] Mihama**
He really did great!
**[13:38] Mihama**
But Uozumi didn't make it...
**[13:42] Momo**
How was that? Did you see
my true power, Nii-chan?
**[13:46] Mikoshiba**
You bet!
**[13:47] Mikoshiba**
That's my little brother!
**[13:49] Mikoshiba**
But I'm not letting you
have Gou-kun, got it?!
**[13:49] Rin**
That Momo actually did it!
**[13:51] Momo**
I have no idea what you mean!
**[13:52] Sousuke**
Seems like he excels in actual competition.
**[13:52] Mikoshiba**
Shut it!
**[13:55] Rei**
First, Nagisa-kun's breaststroke,
then Makoto-senpai's backstroke...
**[13:58] Rei**
Both these races exhibited the beautiful
rivalry between Iwatobi and Samezuka!
**[14:03] Rei**
The stage is now primed for
the butterfly competition!
**[14:08] Rei**
Huh?
**[14:09] Rei**
What? But...
**[14:10] Rei**
Why?!
**[14:11] Gou**
My brother's in the next heat.
**[14:14] Haruka**
What about Yamazaki?
**[14:15] Rei**
Why?!
**[14:15] Gou**
Well...
**[14:17] Gou**
Sousuke-kun's specialty is butterfly,
**[14:19] ---**
but it looks like he's not
racing in the butterfly here.
**[14:23] Rei**
Fine, then!
**[14:25] Rei**
That means I will race unchallenged!
**[14:27] Rei**
I'll just have to showcase my perfect
butterfly stroke for one and all!
**[14:32] Nagisa**
Rei-chan, you totally just jinxed yourself.

Rei-kun made it past prelims!
**[14:50] Nagisa**
You were amazing, Rei-chan!
**[14:52] Rei**
Thank you so much.
**[14:54] Rei**
This past year of hard work was worth it!
**[15:00] Gou**
And the one who ranked
first overall in butterfly is...
**[15:04] Gou**
Matsuoka Rin!
**[15:06] Samezuka**
Awesome, awesome, Matsuoka! Yeah!
**[15:12] Ama-chan**
Tachibana-kun, Hazuki-kun, Ryugazaki-kun,
you were all incredible!
**[15:17] Ama-chan**
I can't believe you all qualified for
regionals in your individual events!
**[15:20] Rei**
Though freestyle won't
start until the afternoon.
**[15:22] Nagisa**
In Haru-chan's case, we know he's
won even before he competes!
**[15:26] Sasabe**
That reminds me. Makoto, you're competing
in freestyle, too, aren't you?
**[15:29] Makoto**
Yes.
**[15:30] Nagisa**
I can't wait to watch!
**[15:31] Gou**
Hey, now. Don't forget about my
brother and Haruka-senpai's race, too!
**[15:41] Makoto**
Haru...
**[15:48] Makoto**
About what I said yesterday...
**[15:56] Haruka**
I know.
**[16:11] Rin**
Makoto's competing in freestyle, too?
**[16:20] Announcer**
Ready...
**[16:23] All**
Go!
**[16:27] Gou**
Makoto-senpai passed Haruka-senpai?!
**[16:31] Ama-chan**
Was Tachibana-kun always
faster than Nanase-kun?!
**[16:35] Rin**
What is Makoto doing?!
**[16:37] Rin**
Doesn't he know that
**[16:38] ---**
unlike in the 100m races, pacing
yourself is important in the 200m?
**[16:42] Rin**
If you start at full power like an idiot,
**[16:45] ---**
you won't last until the end!
**[16:50] Makoto**
*Hey, Haru... I have a request.*
**[16:58] Makoto**
* In the 200m freestyle tomorrow,*
* I want you to race me for real.*
**[17:05] Haruka**
*Why?*
**[17:07] Haruka**
* Why did you suddenly decide*
* to compete in freestyle?*
**[17:10] Haruka**
*Do you want to battle me that badly?*
**[17:15] Makoto**
*When this summer's tournaments end,*
**[17:18] ---**
* we third-years will have*
* to retire from the club.*
**[17:21] Makoto**
*So before that happens,*
**[17:23] Makoto**
*I wanted to have a real race with you.*
**[17:28] Haruka**
*Why do you swim?*

*Because I want to swim with you.*
**[17:38] Makoto**
*And with all my friends.*

*But...*

*Tomorrow, I'll swim to beat you.*

It's the final turn!
**[17:58] Rei**

...was only 0.02 seconds!
**[20:18] Momo**
Th-That's crazy!
**[20:20] Ama-chan**
What an unbelievable race!
**[20:22] Ama-chan**
That's our Nanase-kun!
**[20:24] Gou**
Yes!
**[20:25] Gou**
Although my feelings are a little mixed.
**[20:31] Nagisa**
Hey...
**[20:32] Nagisa**
Why did you want to swim with Haru-chan?
**[20:37] Makoto**
I wanted to try swimming a
serious race against Haru.
**[20:44] Makoto**
I'm not sure why.
**[20:47] Makoto**
Maybe I was jealous of Rin.
**[20:56] Nagisa**
I see...
**[21:05] Sousuke**
You can't go losing a race like that, Rin.
**[21:08] Rin**
Easy for you to say.
**[21:10] Rin**
That Haru... Every time I swim
against him, he gets faster.
**[21:15] Rin**
He's like a freaking monster!
**[21:22] Rin**
But more importantly, Sousuke...
**[21:24] Rin**
It's finally happening tomorrow.
**[21:26] Rin**
The relay.
**[21:27] Sousuke**
Yeah.
**[23:11] Nitori**
Momo-kun! It's just the two
of us doing this preview.
**[23:14] Nitori**
I'm getting nervous!

**[00:19] Rin**
Sousuke...
**[00:21] Rin**
We need to hurry, before the bus leaves.
**[00:24] Rin**
We still have day two of
the tournament tomorrow.
**[00:26] Rin**
We should get back so we
can go over today's results.
**[00:28] Sousuke**
Right, sorry.
**[00:30] Rin**
What were you looking at?
**[00:33] Sousuke**
Phantoms of the past.
**[00:39] Sousuke**
Or something.
**[02:17] Gou**
That should do it.
**[02:21] Makoto**
Gou-chan!
**[02:23] Gou**
Coming!
***SIGN*** The Crouching Start of Vindication!
**[02:25] Ama-chan**
You all swam at full strength
today, so you must be hungry.
**[02:28] Rei**
This is quite a selection
of carb-heavy foods...
**[02:31] Gou**
I made it!
**[02:33] Gou**
Carbs are great when you have
a competition the next day!
**[02:36] Nagisa**
Protein powder again? Is it strawberry flavor?
**[02:39] Gou**
Not today.
**[02:41] Gou**
But if you want to add some on top...
**[02:42] Makoto**
Seriously, don't!
**[02:43] Ama-chan**
All of you are truly amazing!
**[02:46] Ama-chan**
To think, everyone qualified for regionals!
**[02:48] Sasabe**
It's because of my great coaching!
**[02:50] Nagisa**
Huh? But Goro-chan, you've
been so busy with SC Returns,
**[02:54] ---**
you've hardly shown up at all this year.
**[02:57] Sasabe**
It's the quality of my coaching,
not the quantity, that counts!
**[03:00] Sasabe**
Though, more than anything, it's your talent
and hard work that got you here.
**[03:04] Nagisa**
Yep, yep! We can do anything
we set our minds to!
**[03:08] Rei**
Nagisa-kun, you're letting
our wins go to your head!
**[03:11] Rei**
But Haruka-senpai, you really
were outstanding today.
**[03:14] Rei**
Impressive as always!
**[03:16] Haruka**
Not really.
**[03:17] Rei**
No, it truly was impressive!
**[03:19] Rei**
You don't often see a time like that!
**[03:22] Sasabe**
So all that's left is tomorrow's medley relay?
**[03:24] Sasabe**
If you keep up today's momentum,
I bet you'll beat Samezuka again!
**[03:30] Rei**
We're finally going to race Rin-san's
team in an official match.
**[03:34] Haruka**
Rei, it'll be okay.
**[03:37] Haruka**
You don't swim a relay alone.
It takes a team of four.
**[03:41] Haruka**
And with these four,
we could go as far as we want.
**[03:44] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[03:48] Rei**
Let's go all the way to nationals!
**[03:52] Nagisa**
Nationals, huh?
**[03:53] Makoto**
We might really stand a chance
of getting to the nationals!
**[03:58] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[04:00] Gou**
According to the information I have,
Samezuka's relay team members are...
**[04:04] Gou**
In backstroke, second-year Uozumi Takuya.
**[04:07] Gou**
In breaststroke, second-year Iwashimizu Toru.
**[04:09] Nagisa**
So Ai-chan isn't doing breaststroke...
**[04:11] Gou**
In butterfly, third-year Yamazaki Sousuke.
**[04:14] Gou**
And of course, in freestyle,
third-year Matsuoka Rin!
**[04:20] Gou**
But the backstroke swimmer, Uozumi,
didn't do very well in today's individual event.
**[04:25] Gou**
So he may be replaced by their
team's registered alternate.
**[04:30] Makoto**
Their alternate?
**[04:31] Gou**
I think it's the first-year,
Mikoshiba... Kintarou-kun?
**[04:35] Nagisa**
The Kin-chan who raced in
the backstroke with Mako-chan!
**[04:38] Rei**
Uh, that's not his name.
**[04:40] Ama-chan**
That's right! It's Urashima-kun!
**[04:42] Rei**
That's not it, either!

**[04:48] Sousuke**
What's wrong? Everyone's waiting for you.
**[04:52] Rin**
I know.
**[04:54] Sousuke**
You can't decide?
**[04:56] Sousuke**
Based on the individual events today,
**[04:58] ---**
it's clear that Mikoshiba's
a better pick than Uozumi.
**[05:04] Rin**
I know.
**[05:06] Rin**
Uozumi...
**[05:06] Uozumi**
Yes!
**[05:07] Rin**
Momo...
**[05:08] Momo**
Yes!
**[05:09] Rin**
Both of you have equally strong
feelings about the relay.
**[05:14] ---**
In that respect, neither
of you surpasses the other.
**[05:16] Rin**
But if we consider the results
from today's individual events,
**[05:18] ---**
there's only one choice we can
make for the good of the team.
**[05:22] Rin**
Momo.
**[05:24] Rin**
Do you want to try swimming the relay?
**[05:31] Uozumi**
Momo...
**[05:32] Momo**
Y-Yes?
**[05:33] Uozumi**
I won't tolerate you losing.
**[05:35] ---**
You have to win, for me, too!
**[05:39] Momo**
Right! Leave it to me, Uocchi-senpai!
**[05:42] Uozumi**
Who are you calling Uocchi?
**[05:44] Momo**
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
**[05:45] Uozumi**
You're just a brat!
**[05:46] Momo**
That hurts!
**[05:47] Rin**
For tomorrow's medley relay,
**[05:48] Rin**
Momo, Iwashimizu, Sousuke, and I will compete.
**[05:53] All**
Yeah!
**[05:53] Sousuke**
Right.
**[05:54] Rin**
Okay, that's it for today's meeting.
**[05:56] Rin**
Everyone get plenty of rest
to be ready for tomorrow.
**[05:59] Rin**
Dismissed.
**[06:00] All**
Yes, sir!
**[06:10] Sousuke**
Outta the way.
**[06:12] Nitori**
S-Sorry...
**[06:26] Nitori**
I've
**[06:28] ---**
been surpassed by a younger member.
**[06:32] Sousuke**
Do you want to swim in the relay that badly?
**[06:35] Nitori**
That's obvious!
**[06:37] Sousuke**
How so?
**[06:39] Nitori**
Well, because...
**[06:41] Nitori**
Rin-senpai is everything I aspire to be.
**[06:45] Nitori**
When I first started swimming,
**[06:47] ---**
I thought a relay was simply
four swimmers swimming in a row.
**[06:52] Nitori**
But I've come to realize
it's something else entirely.
**[06:56] Nitori**
For the past year, I've seen firsthand
how much the relay means to Rin-senpai.
**[07:01] Nitori**
So I wanted to be a part of it, too.
**[07:09] Nitori**
And this summer is the last chance I'll have
**[07:13] Nitori**
to swim with him.
**[07:17] Sousuke**
Who says this summer is the last
chance you'll have to swim with him?
**[07:21] Sousuke**
If you're serious about swimming,
you'll swim with him again someday.
**[07:24] Sousuke**
Don't crush your own potential
before you even try.
**[07:29] Sousuke**
That's probably what Rin would say.
**[07:36] Nitori**
Right.
**[07:40] Nitori**
Okay!
**[07:44] Nitori**
He's already asleep.
**[07:46] Nitori**
You went to bed too early, Momo-kun!
**[07:49] Nitori**
Here I go!
**[07:56] Nitori**
Momotarou! You absolutely have
to win and make it to regionals!
**[08:00] Nitori**
Because I'll definitely swim in that one!
**[08:16] Makoto**
Then, see you tomorrow!
**[08:17] ---**
Yep!
**[08:18] Sasabe**
Be sure to get lots of sleep tonight!
**[08:20] Nagisa**
Bye-bye, everyone!
**[08:26] Makoto**
You were amazing today, Haru.
**[08:29] Makoto**
I bet scouts from all over the
country will start contacting you.
**[08:37] Makoto**
If you do get scouted, what will you do?
**[08:45] Haruka**
Nothing, probably.
**[08:47] Makoto**
So you'd decline?
**[08:49] Haruka**
It doesn't matter whether
they contact me or not.
**[08:54] Haruka**
I swim because I want to.
**[08:59] Haruka**
What?
**[09:00] Makoto**
It's nothing.
**[09:02] Makoto**
Goodnight, Haru.
**[09:21] Rin**
I haven't swum a relay with you
in a tournament since back then.
**[09:26] Sousuke**
Yeah...
**[09:31] Rin**
This time, let's win.
**[09:34] Sousuke**
Yeah.
**[09:35] Sousuke**
Since we're doing this, let's win it.
**[09:41] Momo**
Nitori-senpai!
**[09:42] Nitori**
What is it? Forgot something?
**[09:44] Momo**
Um, I...
**[09:45] Momo**
I'm gonna try really hard today!
**[09:49] Momo**
Later!
**[09:52] Announcer**
The men's 400m medley relay will now begin.
**[10:04] Rin**
*But...*
**[10:05] Rin**
* I was saved. By Haru and*
* the guys. By my friends.*
**[10:09] Sousuke**
*Even so, I won't acknowledge you.*
**[10:15] Rin**
Whoever wins, there'll be no hard feelings.
**[10:18] Rin**
But whoever wins has to
win at regionals, too.
**[10:21] Haruka**
I don't need you to tell me that.
**[10:25] Rin**
I let you win yesterday's freestyle,
but that's not gonna happen today.
**[10:30] Ama-chan**
I know our boys will be okay.
**[10:32] Ama-chan**
I'm sure they'll pull it off.
**[10:34] Ama-chan**
There's a famous saying that goes,
**[10:35] Ama-chan**
"It isn't the strong who win.
It is the winners who are strong!"
**[10:42] Announcer**
Get set...
**[10:46] Announcer**
On your marks...
**[10:48] Announcer**
Get set...
**[10:51] All**
Go!
**[10:53] Gou**
His reaction time was off!
**[10:55] Ama-chan**
It's okay! Tachibana-kun can make up for it!
**[10:58] Iwashimizu**
You're doing great, Momo!
**[10:59] Uozumi**
He's in the lead and keeping
the other schools at bay!
**[11:01] Uozumi**
And swim!
**[11:03] Samezuka**
Swim!
**[11:07] Sasabe**
Makoto's catching up!
**[11:13] Makoto**
Go, Nagisa!
**[11:26] Makoto**
Nagisa always extends himself in the
second half, but it's not working this time!
**[11:33] Gou**
Samezuka's still in the
lead at the exchange!
**[11:37] Gou**
Rei-kun is swimming his hardest to catch up!
**[11:40] Gou**
But Sousuke-kun is just too fast!
**[11:43] Nitori**
Yamazaki-senpai is gradually
increasing his lead over the others!
**[11:46] Nitori**
Amazing!
**[12:06] Momo**
Rin-senpai!
**[12:07] Iwashimizu**
Go!
**[12:09] Makoto**
Haru!
**[12:10] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[12:12] Rei**
Rin-san got to the turn first!

Awesome! Awesome! Samezuka! Yeah!
**[12:41] Ama-chan**
We lost...
**[12:44] Sasabe**
But at least we made it past the prelims.
**[12:46] ---**
We're through to regionals!
**[12:49] Makoto**
Great job.
**[12:50] Momo**
We got first place, Senpai!
**[12:52] Rin**
Yeah!
**[12:52] Momo**
All right!
**[12:55] Momo**
But why couldn't Nii-chan
have come to watch us today?!
**[13:00] Rin**
We did it, Sousuke.
**[13:02] Sousuke**
Yeah...
***SIGN*** Congrats on Making Regionals, Swim Club!
**[13:11] Nagisa**
They made a real banner for us this year.
**[13:13] Makoto**
Yeah, last year, they just
reused the judo club's banner.
**[13:17] Nagisa**
But why do I still not feel right?
**[13:20] Rei**
Obviously, it's because we lost to Samezuka!
**[13:24] Rei**
Makoto-senpai, Nagisa-kun,
don't you feel frustrated about it?
**[13:27] Rei**
I'm immensely frustrated!
**[13:31] Rei**
Even if we're moving on to regionals,
we lost to Samezuka in the relay!
**[13:40] Haruka**
Let's go to practice.
**[13:42] Nagi/Mako**
Yeah!
**[13:42] Rei**
Right.
**[13:43] Gou**
Take a look at this!
**[13:45] Gou**
Makoto-senpai, Rei-kun, and Nagisa-kun,
**[13:48] ---**
you all qualified for regionals
in your individual events,
**[13:52] Gou**
but your times just barely made the cut!

**[13:57] Makoto**
I guess in terms of times,
we still fall short of Samezuka.
**[14:00] Gou**
The only event that we beat them
in was Haruka-senpai's freestyle.
**[14:05] Gou**
This means that Iwatobi still isn't
a real match for Samezuka.
**[14:10] Gou**
Everyone, our results from this
tournament are nothing to be proud of!
**[14:14] Gou**
This means even more intense traini—
**[14:15] Ama-chan**
Big news! We've got big news!
**[14:17] Makoto**
What's the matter, Miss Ama-chan?
**[14:20] Ama-chan**
We just got a call from a scout, for Nanase-kun!
**[14:28] Ama-chan**
He said he saw your 100m freestyle
the day before yesterday!
**[14:32] Haruka**
Oh, really?
**[14:33] Nagisa**
Haru-chan, that's great!
**[14:35] Ama-chan**
This makes it easier to imagine what
you'll do after graduation, doesn't it?
**[14:38] Ama-chan**
There's a famous saying that goes,
**[14:40] Ama-chan**
"Tomorrow's wind will blow tomorrow.
**[14:43] ---**
But whether one rides on
that wind or not is up to..."
**[14:48] Makoto**
Haru...
**[14:55] Rei**
What does Haruka-senpai want to do?
**[14:58] Nagisa**
That reminds me.
**[14:59] ---**
All Haru-chan wrote on his career
path survey was the word "free."
**[15:02] Rei**
"Free?" What's that supposed to mean?
**[15:04] Rei**
He doesn't mean a part-timer
freeloading on society, does he?
**[15:08] Nagisa**
I don't think so.
**[15:10] Rei**
Then, a freelance swimmer?
**[15:12] ---**
I don't think that's it, either.
**[15:15] ---**
Then what is it?
**[15:19] Nagisa**
I don't know exactly.
**[15:21] Nagisa**
But to Haru-chan, "free" means "free."
**[15:25] Rei**
I don't get it.
**[15:29] Rei**
But it does seem very like Haruka-senpai.
**[15:32] Nitori**
I heard the news, Rin-senpai!
**[15:34] Nitori**
About how you were scouted!
**[15:36] ---**
I heard you got a ton of calls!
**[15:38] Nitori**
Congratulations!
**[15:40] Rin**
Yeah, thanks.
**[15:41] Nitori**
Anyone who'd seen that race
would certainly contact you.
**[15:45] ---**
It was incredible!
**[15:47] Rin**
If scouts are contacting me,
they must be contacting Haru, too.
**[15:50] Rin**
I can't lose to him again.
**[15:51] ---**
I'll definitely win next time!
**[15:54] Rin**
That reminds me.
**[15:56] ---**
The university you're going
to reached out to me, too.
**[15:59] Rin**
It depends on their offer,
of course, but who knows?
**[16:02] Rin**
We may be swimming on the same
team even after we graduate!
**[16:06] Sousuke**
Yeah, that'd be nice.
**[16:11] Rin**
Is something wrong?
**[16:13] Sousuke**
Nothing's wrong.
**[16:15] Rin**
Something's been off about
you since yesterday.
**[16:18] Rin**
During the race, I noticed you
lost momentum for a second.
**[16:21] Rin**
Are you not feeling well?
**[16:25] Rin**
Why aren't you saying anything? Spit it out!
**[16:28] Nitori**
Rin-senpai! Please don't fight!
**[16:30] Rin**
I know. This isn't a fight.
**[16:33] Rin**
Sousuke...
**[16:36] Rin**
Let's head somewhere else.
**[16:40] Sousuke**
I told you, nothing's wrong.
**[16:44] Rin**
Then let me ask you. Now that you've
raced the relay, how do you feel?
**[16:48] Rin**
Remember what you told me?
**[16:52] Sousuke**
* I get the sense that if I swam the relay*
* with you, I'd understand something.*
**[16:56] Sousuke**
*I don't know myself what that something is...*
**[16:59] Sousuke**
* But I want to try to find it...*
* That something...*
**[17:02] Rin**
Did you find it?
**[17:04] Sousuke**
I don't know.
**[17:07] Rin**
What?!
**[17:09] Sousuke**
I said,
**[17:12] ---**
I don't know if I found it!
**[17:19] Rin**
And I know I told you,
**[17:21] Rin**
I wanted to swim a serious relay!
**[17:23] Rin**
And I only wanted people who were
really serious about it on my team!
**[17:27] Rin**
And now you tell me you "don't know"?
**[17:30] Rin**
Sousuke, are you saying you
weren't taking it seriously?
**[17:35] Sousuke**
You think swimming with you is something
I'd ever not take seriously?
**[17:39] Rin**
Then why?
**[17:41] Sousuke**
It's because it's so serious to me
**[17:43] Sousuke**
that I can't just pretend I understand now!
**[17:53] Sousuke**
But there's one thing I do know.
**[17:57] Sousuke**
I want to swim more.
**[18:02] Sousuke**
This isn't enough.
**[18:08] Rin**
Then swim.
**[18:11] Rin**
Swim as much as it takes,
until you find the answer.
**[18:19] Sousuke**
Right.
**[18:21] Ama-chan**
Another scouting call came in today, but...
**[18:24] Ama-chan**
Nanase-kun wasn't interested, as usual.
**[18:26] Gou**
Quite a few came in for my brother, too.
**[18:29] Gou**
So I'm sure Haruka-senpai will be fine.
**[18:32] Gou**
He'll find his drive soon enough.
**[18:35] Makoto**
I wonder if that's what
Haru really wants, though.
**[18:37] Gou**
Huh?
**[18:38] Makoto**
Oh, nothing!
**[18:40] Gou**
That reminds me, have you decided what
to do after graduation, Makoto-senpai?
**[18:45] Makoto**
I haven't decided completely, but I'll
probably apply for the local university.
**[18:50] Gou**
Oh, really?
***SIGN*** Great Luck
**[19:00] Nagisa**

You will win any competition."

"If you start a journey,
all will go your way."
**[19:07] Gou**
"Lucky directions are north and east."
**[19:10] Rei**
What did you get, Haruka-senpai?
**[19:12] Haruka**
I got Great Luck, too.
**[19:13] Rei**
I got Half Luck.
**[19:15] Rei**
They say that there are generally
fewer Half Luck fortunes
**[19:18] ---**
than Bad Luck ones at any given shrine.
**[19:21] Rei**
So if you look at it in terms of probability,
**[19:23] ---**
you could say pulling one of these
is even luckier than Great Luck!
**[19:31] Rei**
I guess it's really true that,
no matter what anyone says,
**[19:34] ---**
I really love the way
you swim, Haruka-senpai.
**[19:37] Rei**
It has nothing to do with
theory or calculations.
**[19:38] ---**
It just makes me feel
something very powerful.
**[19:41] Rei**
It made me want to be able
to swim that way, too.
**[19:45] Rei**
Freely.
**[19:46] Haruka**
Rei...
**[19:47] Rei**
That's why I think it's fine for
you to always remain "free."
**[19:52] Rei**
Being free can mean many different things.
**[19:54] Rei**
But I think its truest meaning
is having a free heart
**[19:58] Rei**
that can't be bound by anything.
**[20:01] Rei**
So no matter what choice you make,
**[20:04] Rei**
as long as you remain who you are,
**[20:08] Rei**
you will forever be free!
**[20:13] Rei**
I'm sorry!
**[20:14] Rei**
I didn't mean to sound patronizing...
***SIGN*** Great Luck
**[20:29] Nagisa**
You made this training regimen, Haru-chan?
**[20:31] Haruka**
I just modified Gou's regimen a little bit.
**[20:34] Makoto**
You added relay exchange training?
**[20:37] Rei**
You're saying that perfecting
**[20:39] ---**
our exchange timing could
help make up time we lose
**[20:42] ---**
due to differences in speed, correct?
**[20:44] Haruka**
Yes.
**[20:45] Rei**
With the strong teamwork
the four of us have,
**[20:47] ---**
we could even surpass
Samezuka's current time!
**[20:52] Haruka**
I want to swim with you guys.
**[20:55] Haruka**
Right now, what I want to
do is treasure that feeling.
**[20:59] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[21:01] Rei**
Let's go, the four of us!
**[21:03] Rei**
We'll beat Samezuka next
time, and go to nationals!
**[21:06] Haruka**
Yeah.

Hey, where are you going?

Isn't it just "kiss me"?

Haru-chan, did you know?
**[02:11] Haruka**
I hadn't heard.
**[02:13] Makoto**
I was going to tell you all when I saw you today.
**[02:16] Rei**
But with regionals coming up,
are you sure you can do it?
**[02:20] Nagisa**
He's right! Will you still be able to train?
**[02:23] Makoto**
I'll only help there when
we don't have practice.
**[02:25] Makoto**
It won't have any impact on
my training, so I'll be fine.

* We really aren't making*
* much progress, are we?*
**[02:49] Rei**
*Let's try it again!*
**[02:51] Makoto**
*Right!*
**[02:56] Makoto**
*Is something wrong?*
**[02:58] Gou**
* It's just, these are your times*
* from the prefectural tournament.*
**[03:02] Gou**
* But Coach Sasabe hasn't been by*
* lately, so I still haven't gotten to*
**[03:06] ---**
*go over them with him.*
**[03:08] Makoto**
*I see.*
**[03:10] Makoto**
*It's always dark by the time we finish practice.*
**[03:13] Makoto**
*I'll check in on him on my way home tonight.*
**[03:16] Gou**
*You wouldn't mind?*
**[03:17] Gou**
*Then, thank you!*
**[03:19] Clerk**
*Good evening!*
**[03:20] Makoto**
*Good evening.*
**[03:26] Makoto**
*Coach Sasabe!*
**[03:27] Sasabe**
*Hey! If it isn't Makoto!*
**[03:30] Makoto**
*The swimming club sure is busy!*
**[03:33] Sasabe**
*And I'm definitely happy about that,*
**[03:35] ---**
*but I'm so short-handed, every day is hectic.*
**[03:37] Sasabe**
* Sorry I haven't been able to*
* come see you guys at practice.*
**[03:40] Makoto**
*No worries.*
**[03:42] Makoto**
* Coach Sasabe, these are our times*
* from the prefectural tournament...*
**[03:47] Kid**
*Coach Sasabe! Hurry up!*
**[03:49] Sasabe**
*Hold on just a sec!*
**[03:51] Sasabe**
*I'll be right there!*
**[03:53] Makoto**
*Coach Sasabe!*
**[03:55] Sasabe**
*Huh?*
**[03:55] Makoto**
*Is there anything I can help with?*
**[03:57] Sasabe**
*R-Really?!*
**[03:59] Makoto**
*Of course, if you think I can do it.*
**[04:02] Rei**
So that's what happened.
**[04:04] Makoto**
Coach Sasabe's done so much
for us, I thought it'd be nice
**[04:07] ---**
to help him for a change.
**[04:09] Nagisa**
But we can't let you do all the work yourself!
**[04:13] Nagisa**
We'll help, too!
**[04:15] Nagisa**
Right? You think so too, don't you, Rei-chan?
**[04:17] Rei**
But of course!
**[04:19] Makoto**
Thank you both.
**[04:21] Makoto**
But aren't there other things that
both of you need to focus on?
**[04:25] Nagisa**
But...
**[04:27] Rei**
Haruka-senpai, aren't you concerned, too?
**[04:30] Haruka**
I just swim.
**[04:32] Haruka**
Makoto should do what he's set out to do.
**[04:35] Nagisa**
Haru-chan...
**[04:35] Rei**
Haruka-senpai...
**[04:37] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[04:39] Nagisa**
I guess you're right.
**[04:41] Nagisa**
Before worrying about others,
we should worry about ourselves.
**[04:45] Nagisa**
What I need to do is
**[04:47] ---**
be able to manage both studies
and swimming at the same time.
**[04:50] Nagisa**
I'll work on that first!
**[04:52] Rei**
I'm with Nagisa-kun.
**[04:55] Rei**
I need to improve my swimming
by the start of regionals.
**[04:58] Rei**
So Makoto-senpai, you should
accomplish what you've
**[05:01] ---**
set out to accomplish, as well!
**[05:02] Makoto**
Nagisa... Rei...
**[05:06] Nagisa**
But it sure sounds like fun!
**[05:08] Nagisa**
I bet you get to play with the kids a lot.
**[05:11] Rei**
Makoto-senpai isn't going there just to play!
**[05:15] Nagisa**
I know, I know!
**[05:18] Makoto**
All right, let's train hard today, too!
**[05:20] All**
Yeah!
**[05:57] Nitori**
Yamazaki-senpai!
**[05:58] Nitori**
What are you doing here?
**[06:00] Sousuke**
Your fatigue is ruining your form.
**[06:03] Nitori**
W-Were you watching me swim?
**[06:05] Sousuke**
You won't get better by just
swimming recklessly like an idiot.
**[06:09] Sousuke**
Take a break.
**[06:11] Nitori**
I-I'm sorry, but my time is among
the slowest on the team,
**[06:18] Nitori**
so I need to swim more than
the others to catch up.
**[06:22] Sousuke**
If you overdo it,
**[06:23] ---**
you won't be able to do
what you could before.
**[06:27] Sousuke**
I'll coach you.
**[06:29] Nitori**
What did you say?
**[06:31] Sousuke**
I said I'll coach the rest of your practice.
**[06:35] Sousuke**
After you take a break, that is.
**[06:38] Sousuke**
You want to swim with Rin, don't you?
**[06:42] Nitori**
Okay!
**[06:51] Rin**
Is Ai training on his own again?
**[06:56] Sousuke**
You're letting your legs open too wide again!
**[06:58] Rin**
Sousuke...
**[07:01] Sousuke**
Better.
**[07:11] Kids**
We're ready to practice!
**[07:13] Makoto**
Let's have a great practice!
**[07:15] Kid B**
Coach Tachibana, what are we doing today?
**[07:18] Makoto**
Why don't we start by practicing
our butterfly kick?
**[07:21] Kids**
Okay!
**[07:36] Kids**
Thank you very much!
**[07:39] Kid A**
Bye-bye, Coach Tachibana!
**[07:40] Kid B**
See you later!
**[07:42] Makoto**
Bye-bye!
**[07:44] Kid D**
Bye!
**[07:48] Makoto**
*That's right...*
**[07:50] ---**
*He was afraid to swim without a kickboard.*
**[07:54] Makoto**
Hayato-kun?
**[07:56] ---**
What's the matter?
**[07:58] Makoto**
Didn't you have fun today?
**[08:04] Hayato**
I...
**[08:05] Makoto**
hate swimming.
**[08:07] Kisumi**
Hayato!
**[08:09] Hayato**
Kisumi-onii-chan!
**[08:10] Kisumi**
Sorry I'm late!
**[08:12] Makoto**
Kisumi?
**[08:15] Makoto**
Shigino Kisumi?
**[08:17] Kisumi**
Wait, are you...
**[08:19] Kisumi**
Makoto?
**[08:20] Makoto**
Yeah!
**[08:21] Makoto**
It's been so long, Kisumi!
**[08:23] Kisumi**
Yeah, it has!
**[08:26] Kizumi**
I don't think I've seen you since middle school!
**[08:30] Haruka**
Kisumi?
**[08:32] Makoto**
Yeah, your old classmate from
middle school, Shigino Kisumi.
**[08:54] Haruka**
Oh...
**[08:55] Makoto**
His younger brother is in the class I'm teaching,
**[08:59] ---**
so I saw him yesterday for the first time in ages.
**[09:01] Haruka**
Whatever.
**[09:03] Makoto**
Weren't you two close when you were
in the same class in middle school?
**[09:06] Haruka**
Nope.
**[09:07] Makoto**
Really?
**[09:09] Makoto**
Well, if you have some time on Sunday,
you should come by too, Haru.
**[09:15] Makoto**
Huh?
**[09:17] Haruka**
Only if I have time.
**[09:20] Makoto**
Haru! You came!
**[09:22] Haruka**
You forgot your lunch.
**[09:25] Haruka**
Your mom asked me to bring it to you.
**[09:26] Makoto**
Oh, that's right! Thanks!
**[09:29] Sasabe**
Makoto! And Haruka, too!
**[09:32] Mako/Haru**
Good morning!
**[09:33] Sasabe**
How about it? If you've got time,
**[09:35] ---**
why not go for a swim again?
**[09:37] Haruka**
Sure.
**[09:38] Sasabe**
Makoto, how're the kids looking?
**[09:41] Makoto**
They're all improving so fast.
I'm really surprised.
**[09:44] Sasabe**
Glad to hear it!
**[09:46] Sasabe**
Is Hayato able to swim now, too?
**[09:49] Haruka**
Hayato?
**[09:50] Makoto**
Kisumi's little brother.
**[09:52] ---**
His name is Hayato-kun.
**[09:55] Sasabe**
He still has some trouble
swimming without a kickboard.
**[09:59] Sasabe**
Whoa, look at the time!
**[10:01] Sasabe**
I've got some interviews for the
part-time position, so I've gotta go.
**[10:03] Sasabe**
Sorry, Makoto! Thanks again for your help!
**[10:06] Sasabe**
Hang around and enjoy yourself, Haruka!
**[10:09] Makoto**
Hayato-kun told me he hated swimming.
**[10:13] Makoto**
It's actually kind of been bothering me.
**[10:16] Makoto**
What do you think, Haru?
**[10:18] Haruka**
Don't resist.
**[10:20] Haruka**
Don't resist the water. Accept its presence.
**[10:25] Makoto**
That advice is so like you, Haru.
**[10:28] Makoto**
It's time to start, so I'd better go, too.
**[10:30] Haruka**
Okay.
**[10:34] Kids**
Thank you very much!
**[10:37] Kid**
Let's get ice cream on the way home!
**[10:42] Kisumi**
Hey, Makoto!
**[10:43] Makoto**
Kisumi!
**[10:45] Kisumi**
How's Hayato looking out there?
**[10:47] Makoto**
He's still afraid to swim without a kickboard.
**[10:51] Kisumi**
I see... I figured as much.
**[10:55] Makoto**
Hey, um...
**[10:57] Makoto**
There's something I've been wondering.
**[11:01] Makoto**
Is there a particular reason
Hayato-kun hates swimming?
**[11:07] Makoto**
If you know, I'd like you to tell me.
**[11:10] Kisumi**
It was probably my fault.
**[11:14] Kisumi**
A while back, our family went to
the ocean, and we rode on a boat.
***SIGN*** Locker Room
**[11:19] Kisumi**
Hayato got too excited and lost his balance,
**[11:22] ---**
and he fell off the boat.
**[11:24] Kisumi**
He started to drown.
**[11:26] ---**
The water wasn't too deep and
we were able to save him quickly,
**[11:29] Kisumi**
so it didn't turn into anything serious.
**[11:33] Kisumi**
But it must have really scared him.
**[11:37] Makoto**
So that's what happened.
**[11:39] Kisumi**
He started to really hate his
swimming class at school,
**[11:43] Kisumi**
so I want to watch over him
**[11:44] ---**
in these swimming lessons until he learns to swim at his own pace.
**[11:48] Kisumi**
What happened was my fault,
for not watching him properly.
**[11:52] Makoto**
Kisumi...
**[11:53] Kisumi**
But if Hayato really hates this,
then I wouldn't mind letting him stop.
**[11:58] Kisumi**
If it's stressing him out...
**[12:00] Makoto**
I...
**[12:01] ---**
want to teach Hayato-kun how to swim.
**[12:05] Kisumi**
Makoto?
**[12:07] Makoto**
Hayato-kun sort of reminds me
of the way I used to be.
**[12:12] Makoto**
That's why I don't want him to give up.
**[12:16] Makoto**
Not him, and not you, either.
**[12:21] Kisumi**
You really do love swimming,
don't you, Makoto?
**[12:25] Makoto**
Yep!
**[12:27] Kisumi**
Then I'll leave Hayato to you, Makoto.
**[12:31] Kisumi**
If there's anything I can do, let me know.
**[12:34] Makoto**
I will. Thanks.
**[12:37] Kisumi**
Haru!
**[12:39] Makoto**
Haru?
**[12:40] Kisumi**
Wow, it's been so long!
**[12:43] Kisumi**
This really brings back
memories of middle school!
**[12:45] Kisumi**
I remember how lonesome you got
after Rin went to study abroad!
**[12:51] Kisumi**
Aw, don't get mad!
**[12:54] Makoto**
Kisumi, you went to the same
grade school as Rin, right?
**[12:57] Kisumi**
Yep! And so did Sousuke.
**[13:00] Haruka**
Makoto.
**[13:01] Makoto**
Oh! It's getting late!
**[13:03] Haruka**
Let's go home.
**[13:04] Kisumi**
You're so cold, Haru.
**[13:06] Kisumi**
We haven't seen each other in ages!
**[13:10] Haruka**
We'll see each other again.
**[13:12] Kisumi**
True!
**[13:13] Hayato**
Kisumi-onii-chan!
**[13:15] Kisumi**
Hayato!
**[13:16] Kisumi**
All right, see you later, Makoto!
**[13:17] Kisumi**
You too, Haru!
**[13:22] Makoto**
Shall we get going, too?
**[13:26] Gou**
How to get a kid who hates
the water to learn to swim?
**[13:30] Makoto**
Can you guys think of any good ideas?
**[13:33] Gou**
It's simple!
**[13:34] Gou**
First, get him to be able
to float without tensing up.
**[13:37] Gou**
Then, teach him to balance his
body so his hips don't sink,
**[13:40] ---**
and from there, you just need
him to kick his legs to—
**[13:42] Nagisa**
Wait, you can swim, Gou-chan?
**[13:44] Gou**
No. So?
**[13:45] Rei**
Then there's no authenticity to your advice!
**[13:48] Nagisa**
What advice did you give, Haru-chan?
**[13:51] Haruka**
Don't resist the water. Accept its presence.
**[13:54] Gou**
That's very Haruka-senpai, isn't it?
**[13:57] Nagisa**
In this case, wouldn't the advice of Rei-chan,
**[14:01] ---**
who only recently learned to
swim, be the most effective?
**[14:03] Gou**
Good point!
**[14:05] Rei**
That's right! Really, it took you
all long enough to realize that!
**[14:09] Haruka**
Do you have some advice, then?
**[14:11] Rei**
Indeed!
**[14:12] Gou**
What is it?
**[14:13] Nagisa**
Tell us, Rei-chan!
**[14:14] Rei**
I was unable to swim because
I always sank no matter what I did,
**[14:19] Rei**
which makes this situation
different from mine! Therefore—
**[14:22] Nagisa**
Oh, I see.
**[14:23] Gou**
Yes, that's true.
**[14:24] Makoto**
That makes sense.
**[14:26] Rei**
Wait a second!
**[14:26] Gou**
Have you figured out what to do yet?
**[14:27] ---**
I haven't even gotten to the actual advice,
**[14:30] ---**
so why are you reacting like that?!
**[14:30] Makoto**
I do have some ideas, but...
**[14:31] ---**
Well, because...
**[14:33] Makoto**
Giving Hayato-kun everyone's advice
might be a little difficult.
**[14:40] Haruka**
What was it like for you?
**[14:42] Haruka**
If you think back on that,
you'll probably know what to do.
**[14:46] Makoto**
In my case...
**[14:49] Makoto**
It was because I was able to see the
sky while I was swimming backstroke
**[14:54] Makoto**
that I stopped being scared.
**[14:58] Makoto**
But starting with backstroke isn't the
normal way to teach someone to swim.
**[15:04] Haruka**
So what?
**[15:07] Haruka**
You should just do it your own way.
**[15:10] Makoto**
Haru...
**[15:14] Makoto**
You're right.
**[15:15] Makoto**
I'll give it a try!
**[15:20] Makoto**
Okay!
**[15:21] Makoto**
So as our last activity today,
why don't we try a relay?
**[15:24] Kid A**
A relay?
**[15:25] Kid B**
What's a relay?
**[15:26] Kid C**
What is that?
**[15:27] Kid D**
That sounds fun!
**[15:29] Makoto**
It is! So let's get ready!
**[15:31] Makoto**
First, you'll split into two groups.
**[15:33] Makoto**
After you swim from here to the other end,
**[15:35] ---**
you'll high-five the next swimmer.
**[15:37] Makoto**
You can let your feet touch
the bottom if you need to.
**[15:41] Makoto**
Okay, is everyone ready?
**[15:43] Kids**
Yes!
**[15:45] Makoto**
Okay then. Start!
**[15:54] Kid B/C**
Go for it!
**[15:55] Kid A**
Okay!
**[15:57] Kid D**
You can do it!
**[16:06] Makoto**
Hayato-kun, do you want to try
swimming a different way today?
**[16:11] Makoto**
You won't have to put your face underwater,
**[16:13] ---**
and you can see the sky as you do it.
**[16:16] Hayato**
I couldn't do something like that.
**[16:20] Makoto**
I'll be holding you up, so don't worry.
**[16:23] Makoto**
I definitely won't let you sink.
**[16:25] Hayato**
I can't... Because... Because...
**[16:30] Hayato**
I'm scared!
**[16:33] Makoto**
It'll be okay.
**[16:34] Makoto**
I promise, I won't let go of your hand!
**[16:40] Hayato**
You promise it won't be scary?
**[16:43] Makoto**
Yep. I promise.
**[16:48] Kid A**
Hayato-kun!
**[16:48] Kid A**
You can do it!
**[16:49] Kid C**
Go for it!
**[16:51] Makoto**
Here we go.
**[16:52] Makoto**
Just kick with your legs to move forward.
**[16:57] Makoto**
Hayato, try opening your eyes slowly.
**[17:16] Kid C**
Awesome! You did the backstroke!
**[17:19] Kid B**
Hayato!
**[17:24] Makoto**
Okay, last leg! You can do it!
**[17:26] Kid C**
Go for it!
**[17:33] Kisumi**
Hayato!
**[17:35] Kisumi**
Hayato!
**[17:40] Kids**
Thank you very much!
**[17:49] Makoto**
Hayato?
**[17:50] Hayato**
Um, I... I'm not
**[17:55] Hayato**
afraid to swim anymore!
**[17:57] Hayato**
I had fun!
**[18:02] Makoto**
That's because you tried so hard, Hayato.
**[18:06] Hayato**
Thank you, Coach Tachibana!
**[18:10] Makoto**
Sure!
**[18:15] Makoto**
Good work today!
**[18:16] Staff**
Good work!
**[18:19] Sasabe**
Oh, Makoto!
**[18:21] Sasabe**
I just hired a new part-timer,
so you're off the hook!
**[18:25] Sasabe**
You can make next week your last class.
**[18:29] Sasabe**
What? I thought you'd be glad.
**[18:33] Makoto**
That's not it...
**[18:34] Sasabe**
Okay, take care getting home.
**[18:37] Makoto**
I will.
**[18:47] Ren/Ran**
Onii-chan!
**[18:49] Makoto**
Ran! Ren! What are you doing here?
**[18:51] Ren**
Haru-chan...
**[18:53] Ran**
He brought us here!
**[18:54] Haruka**
They said they wanted to see you coaching.
**[18:58] Makoto**
Thanks, Haru.
**[19:00] Makoto**
Ran, Ren, make sure you behave, okay?
**[19:03] Ran/Ren**
Okay!
**[19:17] Makoto**
Gather 'round!
**[19:19] Makoto**
So, I know it's pretty sudden,
**[19:22] ---**
but today is actually my last day
swimming with you guys.
**[19:26] Kids**
What?!
**[19:28] Kid A**
But why?!
**[19:29] Kid B**
I wanted to swim the relay again!
**[19:33] Kid D**
Come visit us again, Coach Tachibana!
**[19:35] Kid A**
You have to!
**[19:36] Kid B/C**
You have to! You have to!
**[19:39] Hayato**
Promise, Coach Tachibana?
**[19:42] Makoto**
Yep! I promise to come back and see you.
**[19:45] Kids**
Yay!
**[19:47] Makoto**
Okay, that's all for today.
**[19:50] Makoto**
Thank you very much!
**[19:51] Kids**
Thank you very much!
**[20:05] Makoto**
It went by so fast.
**[20:09] Haruka**
Makoto.
**[20:10] Makoto**
Haru.
**[20:10] Makoto**
Thanks!
**[20:12] Haruka**
Ran and Ren are waiting in the lobby.
**[20:14] Makoto**
I'll be right there.
**[20:15] Kisumi**
Haru! Makoto!
**[20:17] Makoto**
Kisumi!
**[20:18] Kisumi**
I heard the news. Today's your last day?
**[20:21] Makoto**
Yeah, it is.
**[20:23] Kisumi**
Hayato was really sad.
**[20:25] ---**
He said he wanted you to keep
teaching him how to swim.
**[20:29] Makoto**
It makes me really happy to hear that.
**[20:31] Kisumi**
It's thanks to you that Hayato
is finally able to swim.
**[20:35] Kisumi**
Seriously, thank you.
**[20:37] ---**
Nah.
**[20:38] Kisumi**
It's been ages since we met up,
**[20:41] ---**
but you two really haven't changed!
**[20:43] Kisumi**
You're both still swimming competitively, right?
**[20:46] Makoto**
Both Haru and I are.
**[20:48] Kisumi**
I thought so!
**[20:49] Makoto**
In fact, we're both competing
at regionals this year.
**[20:53] Kisumi**
Wow! Figures that you two would make it!
**[20:57] Makoto**
Rin and Yamazaki-kun will be
competing for Samezuka.
**[21:00] Kisumi**
Wow! Wait, Sousuke too?
**[21:03] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[21:03] Kisumi**
Oh, then Sousuke's shoulder
must have healed, huh?
**[21:07] Makoto**
His shoulder... healed?
**[21:09] Kisumi**
I ran into him at the hospital a while back.
**[21:16] Kisumi**
*Huh?*
**[21:17] Kisumi**
*Sousuke?*
**[21:22] Kisumi**
But if he's competing in tournaments,
then it must have healed.
**[21:26] Kisumi**
I'm glad.
**[21:27] Kisumi**
Oh, I'd better go!
**[21:29] Kisumi**
Well, Makoto, Haru, see you later!
**[23:13] Sousuke**
Nanase, what do you intend to do?
**[23:16] Sousuke**
Are you prepared to swim for
your one and only dream,
**[23:18] Sousuke**
even if it means casting all else aside?
**[23:21] Sousuke**
If you're not prepared to do that,
you have no right to stand on this stage.
**[23:25] Haruka**
Dream?
**[23:26] Haruka**
Future? I...

**[00:07] Minami**
I don't believe this.
**[00:08] Uozumi**
There's no way!
**[00:16] Member A**
He broke Iwashimizu-senpai's record!
**[00:19] Member B**
Nitori-senpai is amazing!
**[00:21] Rin**
Looks like someone's coaching
was pretty effective.
**[00:25] Sousuke**
Shut up.
**[00:27] Momo**
That was awesome, Nitori-senpai!
**[00:29] Momo**
After that, you're totally going to
be on the relay team at regionals!
**[00:32] Nitori**
That's jumping the gun a bit,
Momo-kun... But thank you.
**[00:36] Momo**
What kind of training did you do?
**[00:38] Momo**
Do you have some kind of
awesome secret technique?!
**[00:40] Nitori**
No. Yamazaki-senpai just
coached me a little...
**[00:45] Momo**
No fair! Coach me, too!
**[00:47] Sousuke**
What a pain...
**[00:48] Momo**
Senpai! Pretty, pretty please?!
**[00:50] Rin**
Ai...
**[00:51] Rin**
It's not set in stone yet
that you'll swim in regionals.
**[00:54] Rin**
Don't lose focus.
**[00:57] Nitori**
Right!
**[00:59] Ama-chan**
Are you boys still practicing?
**[01:02] Makoto**
Miss Ama-chan!
**[01:03] Ama-chan**
The guidance counselor will scold you
**[01:05] Ama-chan**
for staying past the school's
closing time, you know.
**[01:08] Makoto**
Regionals are next week.
**[01:10] Makoto**
So we want to use every
moment we can to train.
**[01:13] Nagisa**
The more we practice our exchanges,
the better we'll perform.
**[01:16] Haruka**
One more time.
**[01:18] Rei**
Okay!
**[01:18] Ama-chan**
Practice your exchanges?
**[01:20] Makoto**
That's right.
**[01:21] ---**
Our only chance at surpassing the top schools
**[01:22] ---**
Here I go!
**[01:24] ---**
is by shaving off enough time
from our exchanges.
**[01:30] Makoto**
We need to learn to anticipate the
timing of the person before us,
**[01:34] Makoto**
so that we're already starting
to move into our dives
**[01:37] ---**
by the time they touch the platform.
**[01:40] Makoto**
We'll ideally have zero seconds
between touch and dive.
**[01:43] Ama-chan**
But if you cut the timing that close,
**[01:45] ---**
what if you dive in before the touch?
**[01:47] Nagisa**
We'd be disqualified.
**[01:49] Nagisa**
But we can't let ourselves be afraid of that.
**[01:52] Makoto**
If we can master this timing,
we can cut our time down further.
**[01:58] Principal**
Oh, you're still practicing at this hour?
**[02:00] Gou**
The guidance counselor?
**[02:02] Ama-chan**
And the principal, too?!
**[02:04] Ama-chan**
W-We're sorry! We were
just getting ready to leave!
**[02:08] Counselor**
No, no, you're fine.
**[02:10] Principal**
More importantly, Nanase-kun,
**[02:13] ---**
we hear that scouts have been contacting you.
**[02:16] Principal**
That's very impressive!
You're the pride of our school.
**[02:20] Principal**
We're all looking forward to
your performance at regionals.
**[02:22] Principal**
Give it your all!
**[02:27] Haruka**
Okay.
**[02:29] Gou**
That reminds me, it looks like at regionals,
**[02:32] ---**
Nitori-kun will likely be
on Samezuka's relay team.
**[02:36] Nagisa**
I get to battle against Ai-chan?
**[02:38] Nagisa**
I can't wait!
**[02:39] Nagisa**
Though I guess our toughest opponents
are still Rin-chan and Sou-chan.
**[02:43] Rei**
Why are you calling him "Sou-chan"?
**[02:46] Kisumi**
* Then Sousuke's shoulder*
* must have healed, huh?*
**[02:48] Nagisa**
His name's "Sousuke." Hence "Sou-chan."
**[02:49] Gou**
Makoto-senpai, what's the matter?
**[02:50] Rei**
But still...
**[02:52] Makoto**
Oh, it's nothing...
**[02:52] Nagisa**
Then what else would we call him, Rei-chan?
**[02:53] Makoto**
Gou-chan, have you heard
anything about Yamazaki-kun?
**[02:54] Rei**
Why would you ask me that?
**[02:56] Gou**
Like what?
**[02:56] Nagisa**
Can't think of anything, can you?
**[02:57] Makoto**
Well, it's fine if you haven't heard anything!
**[02:58] Nagisa**
So what's wrong with
calling Sou-chan "Sou-chan"?
**[03:03] Makoto**
I wonder if what Kisumi told us is true.
**[03:06] Haruka**
Who knows? It doesn't matter either way.
**[03:08] Haruka**
If he can swim, he must be fine.
**[03:11] Makoto**
You're right.
**[03:13] Makoto**
We need to worry about ourselves right now.
**[04:52] Nagisa**
This hotel is huge!
**[04:54] Rei**
It's quite a step up from our hotel last year.
***SIGN*** The Forming of a Slump!
**[04:56] Makoto**
You don't think only Gou-chan and
Miss Ama-chan are staying here,
**[04:59] Makoto**
and we're getting stuck in a tent?
**[05:01] Rei**
Like at our training camp last year?!
**[05:04] Gou**
What are you talking about?
**[05:06] Ama-chan**
That's right. You're the stars
of this show, after all.
**[05:10] Ama-chan**
However, there is a famous saying that goes:
**[05:12] Ama-chan**
"There is nothing more expensive than
that which comes free, for it is priceless!"
**[05:18] Ama-chan**
So make sure you all put up good results, okay?
**[05:21] All**
Right...
**[05:24] Momo**
Gou-san!
**[05:25] Gou**
Onii-chan's team!
**[05:26] Rin**
What, you guys are staying here, too?
**[05:29] Nagisa**
Yep! Good to see you, Ai-chan!
**[05:32] Nitori**
Like I keep saying, please don't call me that!
**[05:34] Gou**
That reminds me, Sousuke-kun.
**[05:36] ---**
I saw you at the station near
our house the other day.
**[05:39] Gou**
What were you up to?
**[05:40] Sousuke**
Oh, nothing.
**[05:42] Momo**
Gou-san! Please pay attention
to me, not Yamazaki-senpai!
**[05:46] Momo**

See you later.
**[05:59] Sousuke**
Lemme go!
**[06:00] Gou**
O-Okay.
**[06:02] Rin**
Once we get back to our rooms, gather up.
**[06:04] Rin**
We're having a meeting.
**[06:05] Samezuka**
Yes, sir!
**[06:07] Gou**
We got plenty of funds from Amakata-sensei,
so feel free to eat whatever you want!
**[06:13] Nagisa**
Whatever we want?!
**[06:15] Haruka**
I want this.
**[06:17] Nagisa**
How cute!
**[06:18] Rei**
Chub mackerel...
**[06:19] Makoto**
Haru...
**[06:22] Mikoshiba**
I'd love to tell our guys that, too!
**[06:22] Gou**
Captain Mikoshiba?
**[06:24] Rei**
Why is he here?
**[06:25] Toudou**
I'm sure.
**[06:28] Mikoshiba**
Gou-kun! And Nanase-kun and the team!
**[06:30] NagiRei**
Good evening!
**[06:31] Makoto**
And who is this?
**[06:33] Mikoshiba**
This is Toudou-san, who oversees
all scouting for my university!
**[06:37] Nagisa**
A scout?
**[06:39] Mikoshiba**
As an alum, I thought I'd introduce
some of Samezuka's swimmers to him.
**[06:43] Toudou**
Nanase-kun? As in, from Iwatobi High School?
**[06:46] Mikoshiba**
Yes!
**[06:47] Gou**
He's heard of Haruka-senpai?
**[06:49] Toudou**
Of course I have.
**[06:51] Toudou**
Ah, so you're Nanase-kun!
**[06:54] Toudou**
Nanase Haruka, the freestyle swimmer.
**[06:56] Toudou**
Who could forget you after the way you
swam at the prefectural tournament?
**[07:00] Toudou**
We, along with other colleges,
I'm sure, have had our eye on you.
**[07:06] Toudou**
I sense that your talent has infinite potential.
**[07:10] Toudou**
We can't allow that talent to go to waste.
**[07:13] Toudou**
I'm positive you'll climb to far greater heights.
**[07:16] Toudou**
We've got high expectations
for your race tomorrow!
**[07:24] Rin**
Nakagawa Shouta.

That's our roster for the freestyle relay.

Next, the medley roster.
**[07:35] Rin**
Backstroke, Mikoshiba Momotarou.
**[07:37] Momo**
Yes, sir!
**[07:38] Rin**
Breaststroke...
**[07:39] Rin**
Nitori Aiichirou.
**[07:41] Nitori**
Yes, sir!
**[07:43] Rin**
Butterfly, Yamazaki Sousuke.
**[07:45] Sousuke**
Yep.
**[07:46] Rin**
And I'll be swimming freestyle.
**[07:49] Rin**
Get plenty of rest tonight
and prepare for tomorrow.
**[07:52] Rin**
Dismissed!
**[07:53] All**
Yes, sir!
**[07:54] Momo**
Looking forward to swimming
with you, Nitori-senpai!
**[07:57] Nitori**
Yeah! I am, too!
**[08:00] Rin**
Sousuke...
**[08:02] Rin**
Let's swim so we'll have no regrets tomorrow.
**[08:09] Sousuke**
Yeah.
**[08:30] Makoto**
Haru?
**[08:31] Makoto**
Sorry, but can you bring me a towel?
**[08:34] Makoto**
Haru?
**[09:05] Bellhop**
Excuse me.
**[09:10] Bellhop**
I'm terribly sorry!
**[09:19] Haruka**
Your shoulder hasn't healed yet?
**[09:23] Sousuke**
What are you talking about?
**[09:24] Haruka**
I ran into Kisumi the other day.
**[09:27] Haruka**
He told me.
**[09:31] Sousuke**
Damn him...
**[09:35] Haruka**
Wait.
**[09:36] Sousuke**
It won't have any effect on the match.
**[09:39] Sousuke**
But...
**[09:40] Sousuke**
Don't breathe a word of this to Rin.
**[09:47] Rin**
What? Haru's not here?
**[09:50] Makoto**
When I got out of the shower, he was gone.
**[09:52] Makoto**
He's probably gone for a jog or something.
**[09:55] Rin**
For crying out loud!
**[09:56] Rin**
Tomorrow's an important match
with a lot of scouts watching!
**[09:59] Rin**
What's he doing messing
around the night before?
**[10:02] Makoto**
Did you want to talk with
him about something?
**[10:05] Rin**
I just wanted to find out whether
he's made up his mind yet.
**[10:09] Rin**
But it looks like he's still
running away, as always.
**[10:12] Rin**
Jeez, what is he thinking?
**[10:15] Makoto**
But you know, I think in his own way,
Haru is thinking things over.
**[10:19] Makoto**
Even if he doesn't say it out loud.
**[10:23] Rin**
If he doesn't say anything,
how am I supposed to know?
**[10:28] Rin**
So, how about you?
**[10:31] Makoto**
Huh?
**[10:32] Rin**
At your skill level, at least one or
two scouts should come talk to you.
**[10:42] Makoto**
I...
**[10:44] Nagisa**
Haru-chan! Mako-chan! Listen to this... Oh...
**[10:47] Nagisa**
Rin-chan?!
**[10:47] Rei**
Rin-san?!
**[10:48] Rin**
You two! Don't stay up late
the night before a tournament!
**[10:53] Nagisa**
It's only eleven!
**[10:55] Rei**
Did something happen?
**[10:57] Rin**
I just dropped in to talk to Haru for a bit.
**[10:59] Rin**
But it looks like he's out,
so I'm heading back.
**[11:01] Rin**
Later.
**[11:03] Nagisa**
Hang on, Rin-chan!
**[11:05] Nagisa**
We won't lose tomorrow.
**[11:09] Rin**
That's my line.
**[11:20] Principal**
* You're the pride of our*
* school. Give it your all!*
**[11:23] Toudou**
*We can't allow that talent to go to waste.*
**[11:26] Toudou**
*We've got high expectations!*
**[11:36] Haruka**
Too bright...
**[11:38] Makoto**
It's finally time, Haru.
**[11:40] Haruka**
Why are you saying that now?
**[11:41] Nagisa**
Today's the big match!
**[11:43] Nagisa**
I bet lots of scouts will be watching!
**[11:46] Haruka**
I don't care.
**[11:48] Rei**
Logically speaking, it's theoretically
impossible for you not to
**[11:52] ---**
catch the scouts' eyes, Haruka-senpai!
**[11:55] Haruka**
That's enough. Stop.
**[11:57] Nitori**
Nanase-san! We're expecting
great things from you, too!
**[12:01] Sousuke**
So swim already.
**[12:06] Ama-chan**
There's a famous saying that goes:
**[12:07] Ama-chan**
"You mustn't run away. You will only
find yourself in a dead-end alley."
**[12:12] Gou**
Haruka-senpai, look.
Onii-chan is waiting for you!
**[12:17] Rin**
Come on, let's go, Haru!
**[12:31] Announcer**
On your marks...
**[12:41] Toudou**
Go on, Nanase-kun. Swim now and show us.
**[12:45] Toudou**
Show us your freestyle!
**[13:13] Nagisa**
It's finally time!
**[13:14] Rei**
I'm getting nervous.
**[13:16] Makoto**
What's wrong, Haru?
**[13:18] Haruka**
Nothing...
**[13:19] Hanamura**
Hey! We came to cheer for you guys!
**[13:22] Gou**
Hana-chan!
**[13:24] Student A**
We took the very first train.
**[13:25] Student B**
We were sleepy, but we hurried!
**[13:27] Makoto**
Thanks so much, guys!
**[13:29] Rei**
Huh? Where's Coach Sasabe?
**[13:31] Ama-chan**
The swimming club's going to be busy
today, so he said he couldn't come.
**[13:35] Nagisa**
Aw, how could you, Goro-chan?!
**[13:38] Student A**
Hey, aren't those university scouts over there?
**[13:41] Student B**
There are some over there, too.
**[13:43] Student A**
There sure are a bunch here...
**[13:45] Student B**
Yeah. It means if we swim well today,
all those schools will reach out to us!
**[13:51] Makoto**
Haru?
**[13:52] Makoto**
Haru?
**[13:53] Makoto**
Hey, Haru!
**[13:55] Makoto**
You sure you're okay?
**[13:58] Haruka**
Yeah. It's nothing.
**[14:01] Rei**
It's just about time.
**[14:02] Nagisa**
Let's go, Haru-chan!
**[14:04] Gou**
Go get 'em, guys!
**[14:06] All**
Right!
**[14:07] Makoto**
Then, let's each do the best
we can and stay focused!
**[14:12] All**
Yeah!

Stag beetles! Stag beetles! La, la, la!

Hey! Give it back, Nii-chan!
**[14:26] Mikoshiba**
You're gonna be in it!
**[14:27] Momo**
'Course I am! I can even
match you at backstroke!
**[14:32] Mikoshiba**
So this is Matsuoka's ultimate team, huh?
**[14:35] Momo**
Ultimate team?
**[14:37] Momo**
Rin-senpai! Yamazaki-senpai! Nitori-senpai!
**[14:41] Momo**
Let's swim together, as the ultimate team!
**[14:44] Rin**
I was wondering where you were.
What brought this on?
**[14:48] Momo**
I just heard about it from my brother!
**[14:50] Momo**
About what happened at
last year's tournament!
**[14:54] Momo**
It sounds impossible if you think about it.
**[14:57] Momo**
But when you guys put your strength
together, miracles happen!
**[15:01] Momo**
That's awesome!
**[15:02] Momo**
I was so moved!
**[15:04] Momo**
I couldn't just stand around after hearing that!
**[15:08] Rin**
I get how you feel, so take it easy.
**[15:11] Rin**
Well, we're all here now.
**[15:13] Rin**
Let's do some practice exchanges
in the warm-up pool.
**[15:16] Momo**
Let's go right now! Hurry, Nitori-senpai!
**[15:19] Nitori**
Oh, no, I'm getting a little nervous now!
**[15:22] Sousuke**
What are you getting
nervous over warm-ups for?
**[15:26] Rin**
All right, let's go!
**[15:27] All**
Yeah!
**[15:43] Rin**
What's wrong, Sousuke?
**[15:45] Sousuke**
Sorry. I messed up my timing.
**[15:47] Rin**
That's not like you.
**[15:49] Sousuke**
I know. I'm gonna go grab a drink.

What do you think you were doing?
**[19:59] Rin**
Why the hell did you do that?!
**[20:01] Haruka**
It has nothing to do with you.
**[20:03] Rin**
Like hell it doesn't!
**[20:04] Rin**
This was an important match
with all the scouts watching!
**[20:07] Haruka**
What do I care about that?
**[20:09] Haruka**
Because scouts were watching?
**[20:11] Haruka**
So I can set records in front of a crowd?
**[20:14] Haruka**
None of that is what I swim for.
**[20:20] Rin**
Then what do you swim for?
**[20:24] Haruka**
I swim for myself and for my friends!
**[20:28] Rin**
Then swim for those friends,
and for your own sake!
**[20:33] Rin**
Do you not understand that what you do
out there is going to impact your future?
**[20:36] Rin**
Don't you have a dream?!
**[20:39] Rin**
Take this more seriously!
**[20:40] Rin**
I know you could—
**[20:44] Haruka**
You're the one who doesn't understand!
**[20:46] Haruka**
What dream?
**[20:47] Haruka**
What future?
**[20:49] Haruka**
It's you who cares about all that!
**[20:51] Haruka**
I'm not you!
**[20:52] Haruka**
I don't have any of that!

It's okay.
**[21:13] Haruka**
Nagisa, Rei.
**[21:15] Haruka**
Makoto.
**[21:16] Haruka**
I'll swim the relay with you.
**[21:19] Haruka**
That's what I've come this far for.
**[23:12] Sousuke**
If only we could've stayed children forever...
**[23:16] Sousuke**
I wish I could continue dreaming
the dreams I had back then.
**[23:19] Rin**
What are you talking about?
**[23:21] Rin**
To continue dreaming would
mean that you're asleep.
**[23:24] Rin**
Wake up, Sousuke!

Dreams exist to be realized!

* It sucks that we lost, but that was pretty*
* good for our first relay as a team!*
**[03:12] Rin**
*So let's use this loss as motivation to—*
**[03:14] Sousuke**
*Forget it.*
**[03:16] Rin**
*Huh?*
**[03:16] Sousuke**
*The relay's not for me.*
**[03:19] Sousuke**
* I don't like losing 'cause*
* someone else messed up,*
**[03:21] ---**
*or having to share a win with everyone else.*
**[03:24] Sousuke**
*That's boring to me.*
**[03:26] Rin**
*What was that, jerk?*
**[03:28] Rin**
*What did you just say?!*
**[03:30] Woman**
*Now, stop that!*
**[03:30] Man**
*You two!*
**[03:32] Kisumi**
* Well, of course he'd get mad if*
* you talk bad about the relay!*
**[03:35] Kisumi**
* Rin's dad used to swim the relay,*
* so it's really important to him.*
**[03:40] Sousuke**
*I know that.*
**[03:42] Sousuke**
* And I wasn't talking bad*

**[03:45] Kisumi**

*Swim for him?*

*Huh?*
**[03:53] Sousuke**
*I can't do something just for him.*

*That's not how it is between Rin and me.*

**[05:09] Rin**
What's wrong, Sousuke?
**[05:12] Rin**
Did something happen? Ai's worried about you.
**[05:16] Sousuke**
Nothing's wrong.
**[05:20] Rin**
You were off during our practice in
the warm-up pool this morning, too.
**[05:23] Rin**
It was like you blanked for a second.
**[05:24] Sousuke**
I told you, nothing's wrong.
**[05:26] Rin**
You've been skipping practices, too.
**[05:29] Rin**
Where have you been going?
**[05:32] Rin**
Sousuke, don't tell me you're—
**[05:34] Sousuke**
I said, nothing's wrong!
**[05:54] Rin**
Sousuke...
**[05:56] Rin**
It's on me.
**[06:04] Rin**
You hurt your shoulder, didn't you?
**[06:10] Rin**
Let me see.
**[06:11] Sousuke**
Don't!
**[06:22] Rin**
How long has it been like this?
**[06:23] Sousuke**
Since this morning.
**[06:24] Sousuke**
It's not as bad as it looks.
**[06:26] Rin**
Don't lie to me!
**[06:27] Rin**
This didn't just happen this morning.
**[06:34] Sousuke**
I really can't lie to you, can I?
**[06:37] Sousuke**
You're right. It happened
about two years ago.
**[06:40] Sousuke**
From overtraining.
**[06:42] Rin**
But you said you got scouted,
**[06:43] ---**
and you had a university to go to...
**[06:46] Sousuke**
Sorry.
**[06:47] Sousuke**
It was all a lie.
**[06:49] Sousuke**
I don't have anywhere to go to.
**[06:52] Girl**
You're watching the next race, right?
**[06:53] Girl 2**
Yeah.
**[06:54] Sousuke**
Let's talk somewhere else.
**[06:59] Nagisa**
I couldn't even come close...
**[07:01] Rei**
Me, either.
**[07:02] Rei**
Regionals really are something.
**[07:04] Nagisa**
But it isn't over yet!
**[07:06] Rei**
Indeed. We still have the relay!
**[07:10] Makoto**
Hey, you two. Good job out there.
**[07:12] Rei**
Makoto-senpai!
**[07:13] Nagisa**
Huh? Are you alone, Mako-chan?
**[07:15] Nagisa**
Where's Haru-chan?
**[07:18] Makoto**
He went off somewhere after Rin's race.
**[07:21] Makoto**
I looked around for him a
little, but I didn't find him.
**[07:25] Nagisa**
Don't worry.
**[07:27] ---**
I'm sure he'll be back in time for the relay.
**[07:29] Rei**
That's right. After all, Haruka-senpai told us...
**[07:32] Haruka**
*Nagisa, Rei.*
**[07:34] Haruka**
*Makoto.*
**[07:36] Haruka**
*I'll swim the relay with you.*
**[07:39] Haruka**
*That's what I've come this far for.*
**[07:41] Nagisa**
And the same goes for us!
**[07:44] Rei**
Let's trust in him and just wait.
**[07:47] Makoto**
Nagisa... Rei...
**[07:51] Makoto**
Okay.
**[07:54] Rin**
*Don't you have a dream?!*
**[07:56] Rin**
*Take this more seriously!*
**[08:00] Rin**
Answer me, Sousuke!
**[08:05] Nitori**
Rin-senpai! Yamazaki-senpai!
**[08:09] Momo**
Nitori-senpai!
**[08:11] Momo**
Did you see the individual medley just now?
**[08:13] Momo**
It was super awesome, if you ask me—
**[08:14] Nitori**
Never mind that, Momo-kun!
**[08:16] ---**
Have you seen Rin-senpai and Yamazaki-senpai?
**[08:20] Rin**
Why?
**[08:21] Rin**
Why did you lie to me and
transfer to Samezuka?
**[08:26] Sousuke**
The two of us are rivals.
**[08:28] ---**
It's better if we're not on the same team.
**[08:30] Sousuke**
That's what I always thought.
**[08:33] Sousuke**
That's why, when you transferred to Iwatobi,
**[08:37] Sousuke**
I didn't say anything and just watched you go.
**[08:41] Sousuke**
Even in middle school, I continued
to devote myself to swimming.
**[08:45] Sousuke**
Since you were fighting hard
all on your own in Australia,
**[08:49] Sousuke**
I thought I had to work hard to
make my dream come true, too.
***SIGN*** National Middle School Sports Meet
Swimming Tournament
**[08:52] Sousuke**
After a while, your letters stopped coming,
**[08:55] Sousuke**
but I never lost faith that you
**[08:57] ---**
would break through any wall you faced.
**[09:02] Sousuke**
When I got to high school, I
intensified my training even further,
**[09:07] Sousuke**
so that I could make my own dream come true.
**[09:13] Sousuke**
I was sure that when I finally
stood on the international stage,
**[09:16] Sousuke**
you would be there, too, Rin.
**[09:25] Sousuke**
So I kept up my rigorous
training day after day.
**[09:30] Sousuke**
By that time,
**[09:32] ---**
there was no one left who could beat me.
**[09:38] Sousuke**
That was when it happened.
**[09:41] Sousuke**
I started sensing something
was wrong with my shoulder.
**[09:45] Sousuke**
I ignored it and kept on swimming.
**[09:48] Sousuke**
But it made itself known
more clearly by the day.
**[09:54] Sousuke**
How could I give up over something like this?
**[09:56] Sousuke**
I still had a long way to go to get
stronger and faster than anyone else.
**[10:08] Sousuke**
And then...
**[10:10] Sousuke**
At last, my shoulder broke down completely.
**[10:15] Sousuke**
It happened in the summer of my first year.
**[10:20] Sousuke**
Of course it broke down.
**[10:23] Sousuke**
It was around then that I heard from Gou.
**[10:25] Sousuke**
She said you had come home.
**[10:27] Sousuke**
But I didn't want to see you.
**[10:29] Sousuke**
You were the one person I didn't
want to see me stuck like that.
**[10:33] Sousuke**
Physical therapy, breakdown,
and physical therapy again...
**[10:36] Sousuke**
I repeated that pattern every day.
**[10:38] Sousuke**
I even had to miss a few
tournaments due to my condition.
**[10:42] Sousuke**
My teammates started surpassing me.
**[10:45] Sousuke**
My impatience grew by the day.
**[10:48] Sousuke**
I was miserable.
**[10:51] Sousuke**
Then, one day, I realized...
**[10:54] Sousuke**
that my dream was never going to come true.
**[11:03] Sousuke**
I decided to give up swimming.
**[11:11] Rin**
Give up... swimming?
**[11:13] Sousuke**
But before I did, I went to
see you swim one more time.
**[11:18] Sousuke**
It was at last year's regionals.
**[11:20] Rin**
So you saw that race...
**[11:23] Sousuke**
Yeah.
**[11:24] Sousuke**
Since you shared the same dream I had,
**[11:26] ---**
I wanted to watch you swim one last time.
**[11:30] Sousuke**
But what I saw was you in pain.
**[11:35] Sousuke**
I couldn't imagine how
you'd ended up like that.
**[11:38] Sousuke**
I'd always believed you
would overcome any obstacle
**[11:40] ---**
and keep pushing forward.
**[11:42] Sousuke**
So how did you end up that way?
**[11:44] Sousuke**
What happened?
**[11:46] Rin**
*Forget it! I quit!*
**[11:49] Rin**
*I'm done swimming!*
**[11:54] Sousuke**
I wanted to call out to you, but...
**[11:58] Sousuke**
I couldn't.
**[12:02] Sousuke**
But then, during that relay
with Nanase and the others...
**[12:09] Sousuke**
You came to life, and swam like you
were a totally different person.
**[12:15] Sousuke**
You looked so happy, laughing
together with your friends.
**[12:20] Sousuke**
In that moment, a new hope
was born in my empty heart.
**[12:26] Sousuke**
As tiny as it was, it was a new dream.
**[12:29] Sousuke**
A dream to swim with you again.
**[12:36] Sousuke**
Back then,
**[12:38] ---**
I wasn't able to see
**[12:41] Sousuke**
how precious it was to be
able to swim with friends.
**[12:45] Sousuke**
I'm going to give up swimming.
**[12:47] Sousuke**
But before I do,
**[12:51] ---**
I want to truly be part of a team with you.
**[12:54] Sousuke**
With *you*, Rin!
**[12:59] Rin**
Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!
**[13:02] Rin**
Why did you hide it?!
**[13:04] Rin**
Why?!
**[13:09] Sousuke**
Because I knew
**[13:11] Sousuke**
you would cry.
**[13:16] Rin**
I'm not...
**[13:18] Rin**
I'm not crying.
**[13:21] Rin**
You idiot.
**[13:31] Sousuke**
Let's go.
**[13:33] Sousuke**
The relay's starting soon.
**[13:34] Rin**
What are you saying?
**[13:35] Rin**
You can't swim in your condition!
**[13:38] Sousuke**
I'll be fine.
**[13:39] Rin**
If you overdo it, you might
never be able to swim again!
**[13:42] Sousuke**
Fine by me. That's what I'd
intended from the start.
**[13:45] Rin**
No way! I won't let you do that!
**[13:48] Sousuke**
We were finally able to form a
team with Nitori and Mikoshiba.
**[13:51] Sousuke**
Let me swim.
**[13:53] Rin**
No.
**[13:57] Sousuke**
I promise you,
**[13:59] ---**
I'll swim it all the way through.
**[14:02] Sousuke**
I want to swim the relay
**[14:04] Sousuke**
with all of you.
**[14:11] Rin**
But...
**[14:12] Nitori**
Let's swim it together!
**[14:14] Nitori**
Rin-senpai!
**[14:16] Momo**
Yamazaki-senpai!
**[14:17] Rin**
When did you guys...
**[14:20] Nitori**
Since that day...
**[14:21] Nitori**
Since the day I saw your relay
at the regionals last year,
**[14:24] ---**
I've wanted to swim the relay
with you, too, Rin-senpai!
**[14:28] Nitori**
I had Yamazaki-senpai coach me,
**[14:30] ---**
and now, this day has finally come...
**[14:33] Momo**
He's right!
**[14:35] ---**
If we all put our strengths together,
a huge miracle's bound to happen!
**[14:38] Momo**
That's what the relay's all about, right?
**[14:40] Momo**
Then, I want to swim the ultimate
relay with the four of us!
**[14:44] Nitori**
Let's swim it together!
**[14:45] Momo**
Rin-senpai!
**[14:51] Sousuke**
Hey, Rin...
**[14:54] Sousuke**
Show it to us, too.
**[14:58] Sousuke**
A sight we've never seen before.
**[15:21] Makoto**
Haru!
**[15:22] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[15:24] Haruka**
Sorry I'm late.
**[15:25] Nagisa**
We were waiting for you, Haru-chan!
**[15:27] Makoto**
It's about time to get ready.
**[15:29] Makoto**
Let's go.
**[15:30] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[15:34] Announcer**
We will now begin the men's
400m medley relay finals.
**[15:41] Rei**
Yamazaki-san's shoulder...
**[15:44] Nagisa**
I wonder what happened to it...
**[15:47] Rei**
Does he intend to swim in that condition?
**[15:50] Haruka**
Yamazaki...
**[15:53] ---**
saw our relay last year.
**[15:56] All**
Huh?
**[15:57] Haruka**
After watching us, Yamazaki found his dream.
**[16:01] Haruka**
And he learned what it
means to swim with friends.
**[16:04] Haruka**
He realized that he wanted deeply to swim
**[16:07] ---**
the best possible relay on
the best possible team.
**[16:10] Haruka**
Even if it meant wrecking his shoulder.
**[16:13] Haruka**
So I want us to respond to
his wish with all we've got.
**[16:19] Mako/Nagi**
Okay!
**[16:19] Rei**
Right!
**[16:31] Nitori**
If you let your guard down,
you're in for some pain.
**[16:34] Nagisa**
Be careful not to let that
confidence end up jinxing you!
**[16:37] Momo**
I'll show you my killer dolphin kick!
**[16:41] Makoto**
Sadly, I don't think you'll
have time to show that off.
**[16:44] Sousuke**
I'm in no mood to lose.
**[16:45] Rei**
What a coincidence.
**[16:47] ---**
I'm in no mood to do anything but win.
**[16:49] Rin**
This is our team.
**[16:51] ---**
Our ultimate team.
**[16:53] Haruka**
Right. I'd say the same of our team.
**[17:01] Announcer**
Ready...
**[17:05] All**
Swim!
**[17:08] Uozumi**
Momo's dolphin kick is so fast!
**[17:12] Uozumi**
He's already pulled ahead of Iwatobi!
**[17:13] Gou**
No...
**[17:15] ---**
Makoto-senpai's true speed lies in his stroke!
**[17:18] Gou**
In terms of stroke speed,
Makoto-senpai tops him!
**[17:24] Ama-chan**
But he's already catching up
with that second dolphin kick!
**[17:26] Rin/Sou**
Momo!
**[17:27] Haruka**
Makoto!
**[17:28] Rei**
Senpai!
**[17:30] Uozumi**
Who'll touch first?
**[17:31] Makoto**
It's almost simultaneous!
**[17:32] Makoto**
Nagisa!
**[17:33] Gou**
Nagisa-kun did a perfect exchange!
**[17:35] Gou**
Their exchange practice is paying off!
**[17:38] Hanamura**
Amazing! They pulled ahead in a heartbeat!
**[17:41] Makoto**
Nagisa!
**[17:41] Haruka**
Nagisa!
**[17:41] Rin**
Ai!
**[17:42] Momo**
Nitori-senpai!

What do you think you're doing?!
**[18:03] Mikoshiba**
What is it you guys need
to be doing right now?
**[18:06] Mikoshiba**
You need to cheer on your
teammates as loudly as possible!
**[18:09] Samezuka**
Right!
**[18:10] Uozumi**
And swim!
**[18:11] Samezuka**
Swim!
**[18:14] Gou**
Sousuke-kun's caught up to Rei-kun!

He's widening his lead!

**[19:26] Makoto**
They both keep moving faster...

Neither one is willing to give in!

That was the best!

Hey!

Jeez, Momo-kun...

Thank you.
**[20:49] Momo**
Yamazaki-senpai, that
really doesn't suit you!
**[21:13] Sousuke**

I was finally able to find it.
**[21:33] Rin**
Took you long enough!

**[00:09] Girl**
Congrats, swim club!
**[00:12] Basukebu 1**
You're going to nationals?
**[00:14] Basukebu 2**
Way to go, swim club!
**[00:17] Teacher 1**
You've really worked hard.
**[00:19] Teacher 2**
It's very impressive!
**[00:20] Nagi/Rei**
Nah...
**[00:21] Boy 1**
You're awesome, swim club!
**[00:23] Boy 2**
I can't believe you really made it to nationals!
**[00:26] Nagisa**
We're aiming to be number one in all Japan!
**[00:31] Boy 2**
Nice, Hazuki!
**[00:33] Boy 1**
Go for it!
**[00:34] Sera**
Congratulations, Ryugazaki.
**[00:34] Nagisa**
Thank you!
**[00:35] Nagisa**
We'll do our best!
**[00:36] Sera**
Sounds like you were able
to shine in the water, too.
**[00:40] Rei**
Yeah!
**[00:43] Baseball Club 1**

**[00:46] Baseball Club 1**
Nice going, swim club!
**[00:48] Baseball Club 2**
Go win at nationals, too!
**[00:50] Makoto**
Thank you. We'll give it our all.
**[00:52] Haruka**
I'm not swimming just to win.
**[00:55] Baseball Club 2**
No way, Nanase. You should be swimming to win.
**[00:59] Baseball Club 2**
Swimming's a sport, after all.
**[01:00] Baseball Club 1**
Or maybe the secret to winning is indifference?
**[01:03] Baseball Club 2**
Maybe we should try it, too...
**[01:05] Baseball Club 1**
Huh? Nanase!
**[01:07] Baseball Club 1**
Hey!

***SIGN*** Principal's Office
***SIGN*** The Open Turn of Destiny!
**[02:42] Principal**
Iwatobi High hasn't advanced
to a national tournament since
**[02:46] ---**
the judo club made it twelve years ago.
**[02:49] Principal**
You really have done a fine job, Miss Amakata.
**[02:53] Ama-chan**
No, no, I really haven't done a thing.
**[02:57] Principal**
But what happened with
Nanase-kun's freestyle race?
**[03:01] Principal**
What a terrible thing to happen
after he'd been scouted.
**[03:04] Ama-chan**
Ah, well, you see... um...
**[03:07] Ama-chan**
You know, there's a famous saying that goes,
**[03:10] Ama-chan**
"Everyone makes mistakes," right?
**[03:12] Principal**
Isn't that technically a proverb?
**[03:16] Ama-chan**
In any case, anxiety and conflict
are just part of being a teenager.
**[03:20] Ama-chan**
I feel that we, as adults,
**[03:22] ---**
shouldn't be too critical of him right now.
**[03:25] Ama-chan**
Why don't we just watch over him patiently?
**[03:31] Gou**
Ready...
**[03:36] Sasabe**
Hard at work, I see.
**[03:39] Gou**
Coach Sasabe!
**[03:40] Sasabe**
I couldn't make it to regionals
since I was so busy,
**[03:43] ---**
but I'll absolutely be there
to cheer them on at nationals!
**[03:46] Gou**
All right!
**[03:48] Gou**
But I still can't believe we're going to nationals.
**[03:51] Gou**
It's like a dream!
**[03:58] Nagisa**
What's wrong, Rei-chan?
**[04:00] Rei**
I can see some hesitation in
Haruka-senpai's swimming.
**[04:04] Nagisa**
As such an avid fan of Haru-chan's
swimming, you would know, huh?
**[04:08] Rei**
Aren't you just as fascinated
with Haruka-senpai's swimming
**[04:11] ---**
as I am, Nagisa-kun?
**[04:13] Sasabe**
Well, it looks like Haruka's dealing
with a few things right now,
**[04:16] Sasabe**
but you two worrying about it
won't change a thing.
**[04:19] Sasabe**
In the end, he'll have to figure it out himself.
**[04:22] Sasabe**
That aside, I'm gonna give you
a serious workout today!
**[04:25] Sasabe**
Better be ready!
**[04:28] Nagisa**
It's the return of Demon Coach Goro!
**[04:34] Sugimoto**
Those advancing to nationals
from our team are:
**[04:36] Sugimoto**
Ryouno in the 800m freestyle,
**[04:38] Sugimoto**
Mizutani in the 200m breaststroke,
**[04:40] Sugimoto**
Matsuoka in the 100m freestyle,
**[04:42] Sugimoto**
and finally, the medley relay team.
**[04:44] Sugimoto**
A total of four events.
**[04:46] Sugimoto**
Be sure to stay focused from
now until the nationals.
**[04:48] All**
Yes, sir!
**[04:55] Sugimoto**
Matsuoka...
**[04:58] Sugimoto**
After your performance at regionals,
even more universities have
**[05:01] ---**
put in scouting offers for you.
**[05:03] Sugimoto**
At this point, you could join any team you want.
**[05:07] Sugimoto**
You should start seriously thinking
about where you want to go.
**[05:10] Rin**
Yes, sir.
**[05:12] Momo**
What's the matter, Nitori-senpai?
**[05:15] Nitori**
Oh, it's just...
**[05:17] Nitori**
I was thinking that Rin-senpai will be gone soon.
**[05:20] Nitori**
This really is our last summer, isn't it?
**[05:25] Momo**
What are you talking about?
**[05:27] Momo**
There's still next year, and the year after.
**[05:28] Momo**
And the year after that,
and the year after that, too!
**[05:31] Momo**
As long as we live, we still have
plenty more summers ahead!
**[05:34] Momo**
There's no such thing as a "last summer"!
**[05:37] Uozumi**
What're you going on about?
**[05:38] Uozumi**
Keep it down, Momo.
**[05:40] Momo**
Huh? Wha...?
**[05:41] Nitori**
Momo-kun...
**[05:42] Momo**
At least, that's what my brother always says.
**[05:47] Rin**
Guys...
**[05:49] Rin**
Why are you standing around talking?
**[05:50] Rin**
Let's get this practice started.
**[05:54] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[05:56] Nagisa**
Demon Coach Goro really is tough...
**[05:59] Rei**
He was even more spirited than usual today.
**[06:02] Makoto**
But it's good for us.
**[06:04] Gou**
We should bring a gift over
to SC Returns to thank him.
**[06:07] Rei**
No protein powder, okay?
**[06:09] Nagisa**
We should bring him an Iwatobi cream bread!
**[06:11] ---**
What?
**[06:13] Makoto**
Haru? What is it?
**[06:15] Haruka**
I'm going to swim a little longer.
**[06:18] Rei**
Haruka-senpai. Um...
**[06:22] Nagisa**
That's our Haru-chan!
You sure are fired up!
**[06:27] Makoto**
Got it.
**[06:28] Makoto**
Then, we'll go on ahead.
**[06:38] Makoto**
Shall we?
**[06:43] Nagisa**
Haru-chan stayed behind to practice
on his own again today.
**[06:47] Rei**
Haruka-senpai won't get to swim
in the freestyle race at nationals.
**[06:52] Nagisa**
Yeah.
**[06:53] Rei**
Is that really okay?
**[06:56] Nagisa**
What do you mean?
**[06:57] Rei**
"I only swim freestyle."
That was Haruka-senpai's style.
**[07:02] Rei**
I was so enchanted by his swimming,
**[07:06] ---**
I wished I could swim that way, too.
**[07:09] Rei**
But now, Haruka-senpai
is only swimming the relay,
**[07:13] ---**
but not freestyle.
**[07:15] Rei**
And what caused him to change
like that may have been us.
**[07:20] Nagisa**
Huh?!
**[07:22] Nagisa**
Are you saying that's a bad thing, Rei-chan?
**[07:25] Nagisa**
Don't you want to swim the relay with him?
**[07:27] Rei**
Of course I do!
**[07:32] Rei**
But, I guess I really just want
Haruka-senpai to remain free forever,
**[07:36] ---**
the way he's always been.
**[07:41] Nagisa**
Remain free forever, huh...
**[07:53] Sousuke**
Hey, good practice.
**[07:56] Rin**
Thanks.
**[07:57] Sousuke**
Oh, yeah. Some airmail came for you.
**[08:06] Sousuke**
Is it good news?
**[08:09] Rin**
Hey, Sousuke...
**[08:11] Rin**
What are you going to do after graduation?
**[08:14] Sousuke**
Not sure.
**[08:15] Sousuke**
Maybe I'll go back home and
help my dad run his business.
**[08:20] Rin**
So you're really going to
**[08:22] ---**
quit swimming?
**[08:24] Sousuke**
Yeah.
**[08:26] Sousuke**
Don't make that face.
**[08:29] Sousuke**
My dream already came true.
**[08:35] Baseball captain**
Iwatobi!
**[08:37] Baseball captain**
Fight!
**[08:37] Baseball captain**
Yeah!
**[08:38] Hanamura**
I guess all the clubs get a little sad
**[08:40] ---**
after their summer tournaments end.
**[08:42] Hanamura**
Once they lose, it's time for the
third-years to retire from the club.
**[08:46] Hanamura**
The swim club's like that too, right?
**[08:48] Gou**
Yeah. How about the calligraphy club?
**[08:50] Hanamura**
Our third-years retire after the
Summer Calligraphy Exhibit, too.
**[08:54] Hanamura**
Next year, I'll be a third-year, too.
**[08:57] Hanamura**
If only I could stay a second-year forever...
**[09:01] Gou**
Makoto-senpai?
**[09:02] Hanamura**
He's alone?
**[09:04] Hanamura**
That's kind of unusual, isn't it?
***SIGN*** Guidance Counseling Office

**[09:15] Sousuke**
Yo, Nanase.
**[09:22] Sousuke**
Come with me for a bit.
**[09:25] Haruka**
What do you want?
**[09:27] Sousuke**
At the tournament, you stopped
in the middle of a race.
**[09:31] Haruka**
That's none of your concern.
**[09:33] Sousuke**
Maybe not, but it concerns Rin.
**[09:36] Sousuke**
If you stop, Rin could end up stopping, too.
**[09:40] Haruka**
You've come to hound me about that before.
**[09:42] Sousuke**
I still don't acknowledge you.
**[09:45] Sousuke**
But you are important to Rin.
**[09:49] Sousuke**
You understand that, don't you?
**[09:51] Haruka**
So what?
**[09:53] Sousuke**
Swimming with you brings out Rin's potential.
**[09:58] Sousuke**
He needs you.
**[10:00] Haruka**
Why are you always so concerned about Rin?
**[10:04] Sousuke**
I want him to stand on the international stage.
**[10:08] Sousuke**
The international stage that I couldn't stand on.
**[10:13] Sousuke**
You have incredible ability.
**[10:16] Sousuke**
So you need to stop wasting time.
**[10:19] Sousuke**
Take a step! Forward!
**[10:23] Sousuke**
That's all I wanted to say.
**[10:25] Sousuke**
See ya.

**[10:39] Makoto**
You've been staying after practice
to keep swimming on your own lately.
**[10:44] Haruka**
What were you doing here?
**[10:46] Makoto**
I was...
**[10:49] Makoto**
just talking a little with Miss Ama-chan.
**[10:52] Makoto**
That's why...
**[10:53] Haruka**
Oh.
**[10:53] Makoto**
Y-Yeah.
**[10:57] Makoto**
It's almost time for the Obon Festival.
**[10:58] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[11:00] Makoto**
Are your parents coming home?

**[12:19] Rin**
Those of you competing at nationals

need to arrive two days early and
start making final adjustments.

Until then, get plenty of rest and
make sure to be in peak condition.

**[12:45] ---**
There's no other time I can really

**[12:49] Sasabe**
But really...
**[12:52] Ama-chan**
Is something the matter?
**[12:53] Gou**
Please take a look at this.
**[12:55] Gou**
I've made a graph of your swim times.
**[12:59] Rei**
Our relay times have gotten slower...
**[13:02] Gou**
Precisely. Since regionals, all your
individual times have been improving.
**[13:07] Gou**
But for some reason, your
times for the relay have not.
**[13:10] Haruka**
But our exchanges seem to be going well.
**[13:12] Nagisa**
So we swim worse when we swim together?
**[13:15] Rei**
That couldn't be!
**[13:16] Gou**
This is a serious problem.
**[13:19] Gou**
Coach Sasabe is planning to
adjust your training regimens,
**[13:22] Gou**
so until nationals, please do your utmost
**[13:24] ---**
to figure out how to pull yourselves out of this!
**[13:29] Uozumi**
Later, then.
**[13:30] Minami**
Yeah. Don't forget my souvenir!
**[13:42] Sousuke**
Hey, Rin.
**[13:44] Sousuke**
We should get going.
**[13:45] Rin**
Right. Sorry.
**[13:47] Momo**
Rin-senpai and Yamazaki-senpai,
do you live near each other?
**[13:51] Momo**
Are you going home together?!
**[13:53] Sousuke**
Yeah.
**[13:54] Rin**
What's with you?
**[13:55] Momo**
I-I wanted to send a present
for Gou-san with you...
**[13:59] Momo**
Would you give it to her for me?
**[14:00] Momo**
This is Pyunsuke!
**[14:03] SouRin**
P-Pyun...
**[14:06] Sousuke**
I'll return him to a tree out back.
**[14:10] Momo**
How could you do that?!
**[14:11] Momo**
Not the Pyunsuke I worked so hard to raise!
**[14:15] Momo**
I collected fresh sap for him,
fed him high-protein jelly,
**[14:17] ---**
and maintained his temperature carefully!

Shall we stop for tonight?
**[14:31] Nagisa**
No, let's keep going to the next page.
**[14:35] Nagisa**
It looks like a good place to stop.
**[14:36] Rei**
In the past, you would have been
the one to suggest stopping.
**[14:42] Nagisa**
I promised to do well in both
swimming and my studies, after all.
**[14:47] Rei**
Okay, then.
**[14:49] Rei**
But let's just take a short break.
**[14:51] Nagisa**
Okay, just a little bit, then.
**[14:58] Nagisa**
Isn't this...
**[14:59] Rei**
One of the hand-carved Iwatobi-chan
phone straps Haruka-senpai
**[15:04] ---**
made last year to recruit new club members.
**[15:06] Nagisa**
You've been taking good care of it, I see.
**[15:09] Nagisa**
Last year, Haru-chan made these just
because he wanted to swim in the pool
**[15:13] ---**
and needed to attract enough
members to start a swim club.
**[15:16] Rei**
Yes.
**[15:17] Nagisa**
I wonder if we'll get any
new members next year.
**[15:20] Rei**
Of course we will!
**[15:22] Rei**
After all, we're going to nationals.
**[15:25] Rei**
There's no way new members wouldn't
**[15:27] ---**
flock to a club that's produced such results.
**[15:30] Rei**
Although, once nationals are over,
**[15:33] ---**
our third-year members,
Haruka-senpai and Makoto-senpai,
**[15:36] Rei**
will have to retire, won't they?
**[15:40] Nagisa**
I wonder what Haru-chan will do then.
**[15:43] Rei**
What would you
**[15:45] ---**
ideally want Haruka-senpai to do, Nagisa-kun?
**[15:50] Nagisa**
Like you, I would want
Haru-chan to continue living
**[15:53] ---**
in a way that's true to who he is.
**[15:57] Nagisa**
So I guess I don't want to
see him looking so lost.
**[16:00] Rei**
Nagisa-kun...
**[16:04] Rei**
This will be the last tournament
the four of us will swim in together.
**[16:07] Rei**
Can we really leave things like this?
**[16:09] Nagisa**
You're right.
**[16:11] Nagisa**
I think we really need to talk to
Haru-chan seriously about all this.
**[16:15] Nagisa**
We need to tell him honestly how we feel.
***SIGN*** Free
**[16:25] Makoto**
Haru!
**[16:28] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[16:29] Nagisa**
Haru-chan! We're here!
**[16:31] Makoto**
Now that we're all together,
let's go see the fireworks.
**[16:35] Haruka**
Sure.
**[16:52] Rei**
It's so beautiful...
**[16:54] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[17:00] Nagisa**
Hey, Haru-chan?
**[17:01] Haruka**
What?
**[17:03] Nagisa**
Before we swim at nationals,
there's something we want to say.
**[17:08] Nagisa**
Because I get the feeling we won't
truly be a team unless we do.
**[17:12] Rei**
Haruka-senpai...
**[17:14] Rei**
Both Nagisa-kun and I have admired
your swimming for a long time.
**[17:19] Rei**
Watching the way you swim so
free and unbound by anything,
**[17:23] Rei**
I found myself wishing I could
swim that way, as well.
**[17:26] Rei**
But now that you no longer
swim freestyle, your swimming
**[17:32] Rei**
just isn't like you anymore.
**[17:35] Rei**
We want you to swim in front of many
more people, from all around the world.
**[17:41] Rei**
And if lots of people were able
**[17:44] ---**
to see your swimming and be moved like us,
**[17:47] Rei**
and wish they could swim like you, too...
**[17:51] Rei**
I couldn't imagine anything more wonderful.
**[17:54] Makoto**
Rei...
**[17:56] Makoto**
Nagisa...
**[18:00] Haruka**
I just don't get it.
**[18:07] Nagisa**
Haru-chan...
**[18:09] Rei**
Haruka-senpai...
**[18:22] Makoto**
I thought you'd be here.
**[18:27] Makoto**
Haru, I...
**[18:30] Makoto**
don't think you can go on this way, either.
**[18:34] Makoto**
Until now, I thought that if this
was what you wanted, it was fine.
**[18:39] Makoto**
Because whatever Rin said,
I wanted to respect your wishes.
**[18:45] Makoto**
But remember what you
said to Rin at regionals?
**[18:49] Haruka**
*What dream?*
**[18:50] Haruka**
*What future?*
**[18:52] Haruka**
*It's you who cares about all that!*
**[18:54] Haruka**
*I'm not you!*
**[18:55] Haruka**
*I don't have any of that!*
**[18:57] Makoto**
If you truly want to stay as you are,
**[19:02] ---**
I won't say anything.
**[19:04] Makoto**
But...
**[19:05] Makoto**
If it's just that you can't
find a dream for yourself,
**[19:08] Makoto**
I...
**[19:10] ---**
would want you to find one.
**[19:15] Haruka**
You want me to find one?
**[19:18] Haruka**
Is that something you can find
**[19:20] ---**
just by deciding to find one?
**[19:22] Makoto**
Well...
**[19:24] Haruka**
Forget it.
**[19:25] Haruka**
I'm done talking about this.
**[19:27] Makoto**
Wait.
**[19:28] Haruka**
Let go!
**[19:29] Makoto**
Listen to me!
**[19:31] Haruka**
However many times I listen, it's the same!
**[19:33] Haruka**
You can't find a dream just by looking for one!
**[19:35] Haruka**
I'm fine with the way things are!
**[19:37] Makoto**
You're lying!
**[19:38] Makoto**
The truth is, you want to find a dream, too!
**[19:41] Makoto**
You should find that dream,
**[19:43] ---**
and use it to take flight into the outside world!
**[19:44] Makoto**
You have the ability to do that!
**[19:47] Haruka**
Even you're talking like this?
**[19:49] Haruka**
Where I swim and who I swim for...
**[19:52] Haruka**
I'm free to decide that for myself!
**[19:55] Haruka**
And I'm saying I'm fine with the way things are!
**[19:57] Makoto**
But you're not fine!
**[19:59] Makoto**
You're not fine! That's why
we're all telling you this!
**[20:02] Makoto**
Nagisa and Rei and Rin...
**[20:05] Makoto**
And me...
**[20:06] Makoto**
It's because we all love you.
**[20:08] Makoto**
Because we care about you.
**[20:11] Makoto**
Why can't you understand that?!
**[20:13] Makoto**
We want you to find your dream...
To look to the future...
**[20:18] Haruka**
All you ever do is meddle with everyone!
**[20:21] Haruka**
Stop sticking your nose
in everyone else's business!
**[20:25] Haruka**
A dream? A future?
**[20:27] Haruka**
Well, what about yours?
**[20:29] Haruka**
Don't decide other people's futures when
you haven't even decided your own!
**[20:35] Haruka**
Well, say something.
**[20:40] Makoto**
I *have* decided.
**[20:43] Makoto**
I'm...
**[20:45] ---**
going to a university in Tokyo.
**[20:53] Makoto**
I meant to tell you sooner,
**[20:56] Makoto**
but I just couldn't bring myself to say it.
**[21:02] Makoto**
I...
**[21:03] Haruka**
Do whatever you want!
**[21:06] Makoto**
Haru!
**[22:53] Haruka**
Who is it?
**[22:56] Haruka**
Rin...
**[22:57] Rin**
Yo, Haru.
**[22:59] Rin**
We're going out.
**[23:01] Rin**
Hurry up and get ready.
**[23:02] Rin**
Let's go.
**[23:03] Haruka**
Go? Where?
**[23:05] Rin**
Isn't it obvious?
**[23:09] Rin**
Australia!
**[23:12] Rin**
From the moment we met,
my world has kept expanding.
**[23:17] Rin**
This great big world that goes on forever...
**[23:21] Rin**
If you just look up,
I know you'll see it too,
**[23:24] Rin**
Haru.

It perfectly illustrates the ancient
Romans' attitude and philosophy toward...
**[00:13] Official**
What's the purpose of your visit?
**[00:18] Haruka**
What is he saying?
**[00:21] Rin**
Sightseeing.
**[00:27] Haruka**
Hey!
**[00:35] Haruka**
Hey! Where do you plan on taking me?
**[00:39] Rin**
You'll find out if you follow me.
**[00:40] Rin**
That's our bus. We're getting on.
**[00:42] Rin**
Hurry up!

Wait! Hey!

**[02:29] Nagisa**
Haru-chan went to Australia?!
**[02:31] Rei**
I don't understand.
**[02:33] Rei**
Why did Rin-san suddenly decide to go back?
**[02:36] Makoto**
I did talk to Rin about the situation with Haru.
**[02:40] Makoto**
But I never imagined he would
take him to Australia...
**[02:44] Rei**
What could he possibly be hoping to achieve?
**[02:46] Makoto**
Who can say?
**[02:49] Makoto**
I don't know that, either.
**[02:52] Makoto**
But I do believe this trip
will be something special
**[02:57] ---**
for Haru.
**[03:01] Nagisa**
I hope Haru-chan will come back feeling better.
**[03:32] Haruka**
Rin?
**[03:37] Haruka**
Hey...
**[03:39] Haruka**
Rin!
**[03:40] Rin**
Haru.
**[03:44] Rin**
I bought us some drinks.
**[03:46] Rin**
Something wrong?
**[03:49] Haruka**
Don't just run off like that.
**[03:54] Rin**
Sorry.
**[04:04] Rin**
Sorry for what I said at the tournament, too.
**[04:07] Rin**
*Don't you have a dream?!*
**[04:10] Haruka**
*You're the one who doesn't understand!*
**[04:12] Rin**
I ignored how you felt
**[04:15] ---**
and just forced my own feelings on you.
**[04:20] Rin**
I'm sorry.
**[04:24] Rin**
But I do want you to understand this.
**[04:27] Rin**
I've always
**[04:29] Rin**
admired you.
**[04:35] Rin**
Now I feel better!
**[04:37] Rin**
Wanna get going?
**[04:39] Haruka**
Where?
**[04:43] Rin**
You don't have to look so worried.
**[04:45] Rin**
I brought you to Australia
because there's something
**[04:48] ---**
I absolutely have to show you.
**[04:51] Rin**
But that's for tomorrow.
**[04:53] Rin**
Today, our first stop is...
**[05:04] Rin**
What do you think?
**[05:06] Rin**
I figured a place where you could see
the ocean would help you relax.
**[05:18] Rin**
Let's go in.
**[05:20] Haruka**
I don't feel like it.
**[05:23] Rin**
What?
**[05:25] Rin**
Who is it that's usually so quick
to start taking his clothes off?
**[05:28] Haruka**
Shut up...
**[05:31] Rin**
I was sure you'd never agree to this trip.
**[05:34] Rin**
But you really came along.
**[05:36] Rin**
Did something happen?
**[05:37] Haruka**
No.
**[05:39] Haruka**
I just don't want to be
over there right now.
**[05:42] Rin**
Did you and Makoto
have a fight or something?
**[05:46] Rin**
Bingo, huh?
**[05:48] Rin**
It's just one little fight.
**[05:50] Rin**
Sousuke and I fight all the time.
**[05:53] ---**
Ah, cold...
**[05:55] Haruka**
It was my...
**[05:58] Haruka**
first fight.
**[06:03] Rin**
That reminds me.
**[06:04] Rin**
So Makoto finally decided on
his post-graduation plans.
**[06:10] Rin**
He said he wanted to tell
you as soon as possible.
**[06:15] Rin**
Doesn't just looking at the ocean
like this make you feel calm?
**[06:20] Rin**
When I first came to this country,
**[06:22] ---**
looking at the ocean just relaxed me somehow.
**[06:28] Rin**
I talked big before I left Japan,
**[06:32] Rin**
but honestly, I was really anxious at first.
**[06:39] Rin**
A country I didn't know.
**[06:41] Rin**
A city I didn't know.
**[06:43] Rin**
I didn't even know the language.
**[06:46] Russell**
*Welcome, Rin.*
**[06:48] Russell**
*We're glad you're staying with us.*
**[06:51] Russell**
*Here, hop inside the car, son.*
**[06:55] Rin**
Even though I'd known all that
from the start, of course.
**[07:02] Rin**
But when I came here and
saw the ocean, I felt calmer.
**[07:05] Rin**
Because I knew that just beyond
it, you and Sousuke were there.
**[07:08] Rin**
My friends were there.
**[07:11] Rin**
I felt like it connected me to you guys.
**[07:18] Rin**
You know, I've never really
told you about my time
**[07:22] ---**
in Australia, have I?
**[07:25] Rin**
*My name is Rin Matsuoka!*
**[07:28] Rin**
*Name sound like girl, but I am boy!*
**[07:32] Rin**
*Nice to meet you!*
**[07:33] Rin**
*Please!*
**[07:38] Rin**
*Huh?*
**[07:42] Rin**
I had a homestay and went to school here.
**[07:45] Teacher**
*One of my favorite sayings is,
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."*
**[07:49] Rin**
In the beginning, I could
barely understand English
**[07:52] ---**
and had a pretty tough time.
**[07:53] Rin**
*Uh, so, my school have big sakura tree!*
**[07:58] Rin**
*You understand?*
**[08:00] Rin**
*Sakura... Cherry blossom?*
**[08:03] Rin**
*Sakura...*
**[08:05] Rin**
I went to school during the day,
**[08:07] ---**
and afterward, I'd go to train under my coach.
**[08:12] Coach**
*Rin, they want you in the water.*
**[08:13] Rin**
There were amazing swimmers
from around the world there.
**[08:26] Rin**
I learned that even if I was fairly fast in Japan,
**[08:28] ---**
it didn't mean much at all here.
**[08:31] Rin**
It was the first time I'd hit a wall.
**[08:36] Rin**
The more I swam, the more I saw
**[08:37] ---**
how big a gap there was
between me and the others.
**[08:40] Rin**
Was this really all the strength I had?
**[08:42] Rin**
No matter how hard I tried,
was it useless against these prodigies?
**[08:45] Rin**
Were my dreams only dreams?
**[08:47] Haruka**
I've heard enough.
**[08:50] Haruka**
I get that while I stayed in Iwatobi,
**[08:52] ---**
you saw all kinds of things and
had all kinds of experiences.
**[08:59] Rin**
There's one more place I want to stop by.
**[09:04] Lori**
Oh, my goodness! It's Rin!
**[09:06] Lori**
Welcome back!
**[09:07] Russell**
How have you been, son?
**[09:09] Russell**
How are things back in Japan?
**[09:10] Rin**
I've been doing well, Russell!
**[09:13] Lori**
My, how you've grown!
**[09:15] Rin**
That's because I've been swimming every day.
**[09:17] Russell**
Every day?
**[09:18] Russell**
You love it that much?
**[09:20] Rin**
Yes!
**[09:22] Russell**
Still swimming with that old mate of yours?
**[09:24] Lori**
Oh, you're talking about his friend Haruka!
**[09:27] Russell**
Haru?
**[09:27] Lori**
Rin, is that your friend Haru?
**[09:30] Rin**
Yeah.
**[09:31] Rin**
Haru!
**[09:32] Rin**
Don't just stand there. Get over here!
**[09:34] Rin**
These were my homestay
parents, Russell and Lori.
**[09:39] Haru**
Rin! You know I can't—
**[09:41] Russell**
G'day, Haru!
**[09:43] Russell**
I'm Russell. Glad to know you.
**[09:45] Lori**
And I'm Lori.
**[09:47] Lori**
Rin's told us all about you.
**[09:49] Haruka**
Nice to meet you.
**[09:51] Haruka**
My name is Haruka Nanase.
**[09:58] Rin**
Looks like Winnie likes you, too!
**[10:04] Lori**
Welcome to Australia, Haru!
**[10:06] Russell**
Welcome, Haru!
**[10:12] Lori**
Dinner's ready, Haru!
**[10:13] Lori**
Please come in.
**[10:16] Lori**
Please start.
**[10:17] Lori**
Have as much as you like!
**[10:22] Haruka**
Thank you.
**[10:23] Lori**
Haru's just as you described him, Rin.
**[10:26] Lori**
A cool attitude and eyes clear as water!
**[10:29] Russell**
You're right, love.
**[10:31] Rin**
She said you have a cool attitude
and eyes clear as water.
**[10:34] Russell**
Rin says you only swim free.
**[10:37] Russell**
Haru, you only swim free?
**[10:41] Haruka**
Y-Yes...
**[10:43] Lori**
So it's true.
**[10:44] Haruka**
How do they know that?
**[10:45] Russell**
Right.
**[10:46] Rin**
Uh, well...
**[10:48] Lori**
Rin really looks up to you, Haru.
**[10:50] Lori**
Every time he talked about you,
he was always full of admiration!
**[10:55] Rin**
Hey, now...
**[10:57] Haruka**
Hey, what did she say?
**[10:59] Rin**
It doesn't really matter...
**[11:01] Haruka**
Yes, it does.
**[11:04] Rin**
She just said I used to talk about you.
**[11:08] Lori**
Anyway, we're glad you're doing well, Rin.
**[11:10] Russell**
I recall a time when you
seemed a bit depressed.
**[11:15] Rin**
You knew about that?
**[11:19] Russell**
Lori and I knew you were just
putting on a cheerful face.
**[11:22] Lori**
Russell and I discussed it, and
**[11:24] ---**
we did the best we could to watch
over you and make you feel at home.
**[11:29] Lori**
I made sure there was lots of laughter,
friendly chatting, and tasty meals for you.
**[11:33] Lori**
So you'd feel more comfortable
here in Australia.
**[11:40] Rin**
I'm sorry for making you both worry.
**[11:44] Russell**
Well, enough of that talk.
**[11:46] Lori**
Dig in, Haru!
**[11:47] Lori**
I cooked some mackerel. You like it, right?
**[11:50] Lori**
In Japanese, it's called "saba"?
**[11:53] Haruka**
Y-Yes.
**[11:55] Russell**
So, mate, you got a girlfriend back in Japan?
**[11:58] Rin**
Um... That is, uh...
**[12:03] Russell**
I guess that's a no.
**[12:05] Russell**
Our boy Rin's a late bloomer!
**[12:07] Lori**
Right! Remember the time he...
**[12:09] Rin**
We don't have to talk about that, Lori!
**[12:13] Russell**
It's summertime in Japan now, right?
**[12:15] Rin**
That's right.
**[12:16] Lori**
Isn't summer really hot there?
**[12:18] Rin**
Yes! It's hotter than hell!
**[12:23] Russell**
Rin! Haru! Glad we got
to see you boys tonight!
**[12:27] Lori**
Please come back and visit us anytime!
**[12:30] Rin**
I'll keep in touch!
**[12:31] Russell**
Have a great stay!
**[12:32] Rin**
Thanks, Russell, Lori!
**[12:34] Rin**
Bye!
**[12:42] Rin**
Something wrong?
**[12:43] Haruka**
No.
**[12:44] Haruka**
It's nothing.
**[12:45] Rin**
Okay. Then let's get going.
**[12:52] Rin**
Hi. I made a reservation
under the name Rin Matsuoka.
**[12:56] Clerk**
Welcome.
**[12:58] Clerk**
Haru, passport.
**[13:00] Clerk**
Please fill out your name, address,
passport info, and sign there.
**[13:21] Rin**
Huh?!
**[13:23] Rin**
You've got to be kidding me!
**[13:26] Haruka**
We're in Australia.
**[13:28] Haruka**
Stuff like this is probably normal here.
**[13:30] Rin**
It's not!
**[13:31] Rin**
This must be your fault.
You and your girly name!
**[13:35] Haruka**
It's probably your fault, then.
**[13:38] Rin**
It's your fault!
**[13:39] Haruka**
It's your fault!
**[13:40] Rin**
Your fault!
**[13:41] Haruka**
Your fault!
**[13:42] Rin**
Your fault!
**[13:43] Rin**
Okay, this isn't the time for this!
**[13:46] Rin**
I'm going back to the front desk!
**[13:49] Clerk**
I'm afraid we can't do
anything about that now.
**[13:52] Rin**
We're the ones having a problem here.
**[13:54] Rin**
Aren't there any other rooms available?
**[13:56] Clerk**
We're full up tonight.
**[13:58] Clerk**
If you don't want the room,
go find another hotel.
**[14:01] Clerk**
But remember, we'll be charging
you cancellation fees.
**[14:05] Rin**
Seriously?!
**[14:07] Rin**
It's your mistake!
**[14:08] Clerk**
No. Our cancellation policy's
stated in our agreement.
**[14:12] Clerk**
You were informed of this when
you made your reservation.
**[14:23] Rin**
I can't believe this...
**[14:24] Haruka**
It won't matter once you're asleep.
**[14:26] Haruka**
Just go to sleep.
**[14:29] Rin**
Guess that's true.
**[14:48] Rin**
Hey, Haru?
**[14:51] Rin**
I told you I've always admired you, right?
**[14:56] Rin**
You might not remember it,
**[14:59] ---**
but I still remember
**[15:02] Rin**
the day I first met you.
***SIGN*** 1st Nanase Haruka 2nd Matsuoka Rin
**[15:06] Rin**
To be honest, it had never occurred
to me that I could lose to someone.
**[15:12] Rin**
But any frustration I felt
vanished when I thought,
**[15:16] Rin**
"There's someone more amazing than me."
**[15:19] Rin**
"I want to be able to swim like him."
**[15:22] Rin**
That's why it's hard for me when
you're not always there ahead of me,
**[15:26] ---**
showing me what path I should take.
**[15:29] Rin**
Without you, I have nothing
to aim for, you know?
**[15:34] Haruka**
I remember it, too.
**[15:35] Haruka**
That tournament...
**[15:39] Rin**
Do you remember the freestyle race we
swam during that tournament this spring?
**[15:43] Rin**
When we tied and set a new
tournament record together?
**[15:47] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[15:49] Rin**
I was testing you then.
**[15:54] Rin**
I wanted to see if that was really
the farthest you could go.
**[16:00] Rin**
And when I sensed you
coming up from behind me,
**[16:03] ---**
I knew for sure.
**[16:06] Rin**
That you were definitely going to
enter the same world as me.
**[16:10] Rin**
Hey, Haru, during that race,
didn't you feel something, too?
**[16:52] Rin**
You said you couldn't find
a dream of your own, right?
**[16:56] Rin**
But if you did find one,
what would you do?
**[17:50] Rin**
Here we are.
**[17:52] Haruka**
What is this?
**[17:53] Rin**
A stadium for international
swimming competitions.
**[17:56] Rin**
Let's go.
**[18:05] Rin**
Haru! Over here.
**[18:10] Rin**
This is where the best swimmers
in the world race one another.
**[18:16] Rin**
This is what I wanted to show you.
**[18:21] Rin**
Let's swim, Haru.
**[18:22] Haruka**
We can swim here?
**[18:24] Rin**
Of course. Anyone can.
**[18:27] Haruka**
I didn't bring a swimsuit.
**[18:29] Rin**
I'll loan you one.
**[18:30] Rin**
This way.
**[18:41] Rin**
That's the National Team!
**[18:44] Haruka**
National Team?
**[18:45] Rin**
They use this pool for practice.
**[18:47] Haruka**
Is it really okay to swim here, then?
**[18:50] Haruka**
No one's swimming.
**[18:52] Rin**
There's a regular recreational
pool over there.
**[18:55] Rin**
No one without the guts to swim beside
the National Team would use this one.
**[19:00] Rin**
What do you want to do?
**[19:39] Swimmer**
Hey, mate!
**[19:42] Swimmer**
How's it going?
**[19:44] Swimmer**
Let's go!
**[20:07] Haruka**
*I want to swim.*
**[20:28] Haruka**
*In this place...*
**[20:31] Haruka**
*Forever...*
**[20:35] Haruka**
*I want to keep swimming...*
**[20:43] Rin**
Haru!
**[20:45] Rin**
We should go, too.
**[20:52] Haruka**
Yeah!
**[21:03] Rin**
The coach who trained me
**[21:05] ---**
while I was studying in Australia
wrote to me recently.
**[21:08] Rin**
He asked if I'd consider swimming here again.
**[21:12] Rin**
Before we head back to Japan,
**[21:15] ---**
I intend to see him and ask him
formally to let me join his team.
**[21:18] Rin**
Even though I took one heck of a detour,
**[21:20] ---**
I was finally able to come back here.
**[21:23] Rin**
And this time, I won't lose.
**[21:26] Rin**
It's time for revenge!
**[21:28] Haruka**
Rin.
**[21:32] Haruka**
I've
**[21:34] Haruka**
found it, too.
**[23:14] Makoto**
All the memories we have with these friends...
**[23:17] Nagisa**
We'll surely never forget them.
**[23:19] Rei**
And with them, we face forward
and boldly step out...
**[23:22] Rin**
...toward a future we truly believe in.
**[23:26] All**

**[00:06] Makoto**
Haru! Rin!
**[00:07] Rin**
Makoto!
**[00:09] Rin**
You came all this way to meet us?
**[00:12] Makoto**
You must be tired after your trip.
**[00:17] Makoto**
Haru...
**[00:21] Makoto**
Welcome home.
**[00:28] Haruka**
Thanks.
**[00:32] Makoto**
Let's go.
**[00:33] Makoto**
Everyone's waiting.
**[00:42] Nagisa**
Feels like we're finally getting used to this pool.
**[00:45] Rei**
Yes.
**[00:46] ---**
Two days from now, the stands will be
packed with spectators, won't they?
**[00:50] Nagisa**
Are you nervous, Rei-chan?
**[00:52] Rei**
No. It's the day we've worked so hard for.
**[00:56] Rei**
This is no time to be nervous!
**[00:58] Nagisa**
You really have grown some hair on your chest!
**[01:00] Rei**
I told you...
**[01:02] Rei**
Makoto-senpai should be
getting back with them soon!
**[01:05] Nagisa**
It's already that time?
**[01:06] Nagisa**
We'd better hurry!
**[01:08] Nagisa**
Rei-chan?
**[01:09] Rei**
Do you think
**[01:10] ---**
Haruka-senpai will come back to us feeling better?
**[01:13] Nagisa**
Don't worry.
**[01:15] ---**
I'm sure he'll come back feeling better.
**[01:17] Nagisa**
Shall we go?
**[01:20] Rei**
Yes.
**[01:22] Makoto**
We all got here today to start
preparing for nationals.
**[01:33] Rin**
I'm gonna go meet up with my team.
**[01:36] Rin**
See ya.
**[01:39] Haruka**
Rin!
**[01:41] Haruka**
Thank you.
**[01:46] Rin**
You bet!
***SIGN*** The Eternal Summer of Beginnings!
**[01:51] Makoto**
Hey!
**[01:53] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[01:54] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[01:56] Haruka**
Nagisa, Rei.
**[01:58] Nagisa**
Welcome back, Haru-chan!
**[02:00] Rei**
I'm so glad you made it home safely!
**[02:02] Nagisa**
Jeez, Rei-chan was really worried
about you, you know.
**[02:06] Rei**
N-Nagisa-kun!
**[02:08] Haruka**
I'm sorry I made you worry.
**[02:11] Nagisa**
It's fine.
**[02:13] Rei**
More importantly, please rest up for our race
**[02:15] ---**
in two days.
**[02:17] Rei**
After that, we only need to make our final
adjustments to prepare for the tournament!
**[02:20] Nagisa**
Yeah!
**[02:22] Haruka**
Makoto...
**[02:23] Haruka**
Nagisa, Rei...
**[02:25] Haruka**
There's something
**[02:27] ---**
I'd like to tell you.
**[02:32] Haruka**
Before now,
**[02:34] ---**
I never cared about times or winning.
**[02:37] Haruka**
I only swam because I wanted to.
**[02:39] Haruka**
If I worried about those things,
my swimming would lose its meaning.
**[02:43] Haruka**
That's what I thought.
**[02:45] Haruka**
Rin has a dream of swimming on the world level.
**[02:48] Haruka**
He's about to dive into the world of
competitive swimming to fulfill that dream.
**[02:52] Haruka**
So should I really go into that world
just because I want to swim?
**[02:59] Haruka**
Go into that world of wins and losses?
**[03:01] Haruka**
That's not right.
**[03:03] Haruka**
I'm not like Rin.
**[03:06] Haruka**
I don't have strong feelings
toward swimming like he does.
**[03:12] Haruka**
That's why
**[03:13] Haruka**
I wasn't able to respond to
the things you said to me.
**[03:17] Haruka**
I couldn't believe that a dream was
something I could find just by looking.
**[03:23] Haruka**
But then, Rin took me with him and
showed me all these different sights.
**[03:29] Haruka**
I realized how big the world really is.
**[03:31] Rin**
*If you did find one, what would you do?*
**[03:35] Haruka**
And then, I found it...
**[03:39] Haruka**
I want to swim
**[03:40] ---**
in that world.
**[03:45] Haruka**
I want to keep on swimming.
**[03:47] Haruka**
So I'm going to start caring
about times and winning.
**[03:52] Haruka**
For the sake of my dream.
**[03:56] Makoto**
So this trip really did end up
being a special one for you, Haru.
**[04:00] Nagisa**
I'm really glad for you, Haru-chan!
**[04:02] Rei**
If that's the dream you've found
for yourself, Haruka-senpai,
**[04:05] ---**
we will certainly cheer
you on as hard as we can!
**[04:09] Haruka**
Thank you, guys.
**[04:15] Team**
Good morning!
**[04:16] Rin**
Morning.
**[04:17] Nitori**
Welcome home, Rin-senpai!
**[04:19] Rin**
Good to be back.
**[04:21] Rin**
Did anything change during our off-time?
**[04:23] Nitori**
Everyone's in top condition—
**[04:24] Momo**
Rin-senpai! Can I have my souvenir, please?
**[04:26] Rin**
You're so annoying. Jeez...
**[04:27] Momo**
Koala! Kangaroo!
**[04:28] Momo**
Koala! Kangaroo!
**[04:30] Rin**
Here you go.
**[04:31] Momo**
Yahoo!
**[04:33] Momo**
A boomerang! Look, guys!
**[04:34] Uozumi**
It's perfect for you.
**[04:35] Momo**
Yahoo!
**[04:36] Rin**
Where's Sousuke?
**[04:36] Uozumi**
Calm down, Momo!
**[04:37] Momo**
Yes! Yes!
**[04:38] Nitori**
He's meeting up with us later.
**[04:43] Makoto**
This really is nationals.
**[04:45] Makoto**
Everyone's so fast!
**[04:47] Haruka**
Makoto...
**[04:50] Haruka**
I...
**[04:51] Haruka**
said something
**[04:54] ---**
really awful to you before.
**[04:59] Haruka**
I'm sorry.
**[05:02] Makoto**
Haru...
**[05:05] Makoto**
No,
**[05:07] ---**
I'm the one who's sorry.
**[05:09] Makoto**
For not being able to tell you about my plans.
**[05:12] Makoto**
I felt like I wasn't suited
for competitive swimming.
**[05:18] Makoto**
The world of competition isn't for me.
**[05:21] Makoto**
So I'd been thinking I'd just go
to our local college or something,
**[05:27] Makoto**
since there wasn't anything
in particular I wanted to do.
**[05:31] Makoto**
But then, I ended up helping
Coach Sasabe at the club.
**[05:36] Makoto**
At first, I only thought of it as helping him out.
**[05:39] Makoto**
But then, I started really having
fun teaching the kids how to swim.
**[05:44] Makoto**
I met Hayato,
**[05:46] ---**
and I really wanted to do
something to help him swim.
**[05:50] Makoto**
Remember how you gave me advice
when I was at a loss over him?
**[05:54] Haruka**
I didn't really do anything...
**[05:58] Makoto**
When I taught Hayato how to swim backstroke,
**[06:00] ---**
he told me, "I'm not scared of
swimming anymore! I had fun!"
**[06:05] Makoto**
It made me so happy.
**[06:09] Makoto**
That's why I wanted to show even
more kids just how fun it is to swim!
**[06:22] Makoto**
I want to join the teaching
side of the swim world.
**[06:26] Makoto**
And to learn how to do that,
I'm going to college in Tokyo.
**[06:29] Makoto**
That's the dream I've found for myself.
**[06:35] Haruka**
I see.
**[06:36] Haruka**
You'll definitely make it happen.
**[06:39] Makoto**
Thanks!
**[06:41] Makoto**
All that studying won't be easy, though.
**[06:45] Haruka**
True.
**[06:52] Sousuke**
Your recovery time is too short.
**[06:55] Sousuke**
Watch your center of balance.
**[06:56] Momo**
Yamazaki-senpai!
**[06:58] Rin**
Sousuke.
**[07:00] Sousuke**
Sorry I'm late.
**[07:03] Sousuke**
Welcome back, Rin.
**[07:05] Rin**
Yeah. I'm home.
**[07:08] Sousuke**
Jeez, talk about going overboard!
**[07:11] Rin**
Yeah, I might've.
**[07:13] Rin**
But,
**[07:14] ---**
going overboard was worth it.
**[07:27] Sousuke**
I see.
**[07:31] Ama-chan**
It's the night before nationals, so
order absolutely anything you want!
**[07:35] Ama-chan**
It'll be my treat!
**[07:38] Gou**
Wow, Sensei! That's really generous!
**[07:39] Nagisa**
In that case...
**[07:41] Nagisa**
Let's get the potato salad, seafood
salad, fish and chips, roast beef,
**[07:45] Nagisa**
onion soup, Yorkshire pudding, spaghetti
alle vongole, arrabbiata pasta,
**[07:48] Nagisa**
pasta pescatore, jellied eels, spicy french fries,
cheese omelet, porcini cream risotto,
**[07:54] Nagisa**
egg-topped lobster, grilled lobster, lobsters in—
**[07:56] Ama-chan**
Stop!
**[07:57] Ama-chan**
Hazuki-kun, why don't we
go with that for now, huh?
**[08:00] Ama-chan**
But without the lobster.
**[08:02] Nagisa**
Aww...
**[08:03] Rei**
Nagisa-kun, you're truly merciless.
**[08:06] Haruka**
Is there miso mackerel?
**[08:07] Makoto**
They definitely wouldn't have that here.
**[08:10] Rei**
They do have mackerel meuniere, though!
**[08:12] Haruka**
How about salt-grilled?
**[08:12] Makoto**
I told you, they won't have that here!
**[08:13] Ama-chan**
Is there something different about Nanase-kun?
**[08:14] Nagisa**
Let's order already!
**[08:16] Ama-chan**
Until just recently,
**[08:16] Nagisa**
Excuse me!
**[08:16] Makoto**
Nagisa!
**[08:17] Rei**
I haven't decided yet!
**[08:17] ---**
things were kind of strained between all of them.
**[08:19] Haruka**
Grilled mackerel...
**[08:20] Makoto**
Haru, just let it go.
**[08:20] Gou**
It seems he found something
in Australia with my brother.
**[08:22] Rei**
How about this?
**[08:23] Haruka**
What is it?
**[08:25] Ama-chan**
Found something?
**[08:25] Rei**
It's a seafood risotto.
**[08:26] Nagisa**
Let's try it!
**[08:27] ---**
Isn't there any Japanese food?
**[08:29] ---**
Japanese?
**[08:30] ---**
Haru-chan is starved for Japanese cuisine!
**[08:30] Ama-chan**
You're right.
**[08:33] Ama-chan**
I'm so glad.
**[08:38] Nagisa**
What a great meal!
**[08:39] Makoto**
Didn't you overeat a bit, Nagisa?
**[08:42] Nagisa**
It's fine! I'm a growing boy, after all!
**[08:45] Haruka**
That's true.
**[08:46] Rei**
Honestly! We're swimming
in the national tournament!
**[08:49] Rei**
We need to stay focused!
**[08:55] Nagisa**
The ocean is glowing!
**[08:57] Rei**
It is!
**[08:59] Makoto**
It's totally different from
the ocean back in Iwatobi.
**[09:05] Haruka**
It's finally happening tomorrow...
**[09:07] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[09:08] Makoto**
If you think back to when we
first started our swim club,
**[09:12] ---**
it's pretty amazing that we made it this far.
**[09:15] Makoto**
We couldn't even use our
pool in the beginning.
**[09:17] Nagisa**
That's right!
**[09:18] Nagisa**
Everything started with us fixing up that pool.
**[09:21] Nagisa**
Back then, all Haru-chan cared
about was getting to swim.
**[09:25] Nagisa**
Remember when we went to the hardware store
**[09:27] ---**
and you started stripping
in front of the fish tanks?
**[09:30] Rei**
Unbelievable...
**[09:33] Makoto**
You weren't in the club yet
at the time, were you, Rei?
**[09:36] Nagisa**
You had originally joined the track team, right?
**[09:39] Rei**
Yes. At first, it made no sense to me at all.
**[09:43] Rei**
But then Nagisa-kun invited me to join,
**[09:47] ---**
and I became fascinated with
Haruka-senpai's swimming...
**[09:49] Rei**
But I just couldn't keep up with all of you.
**[09:53] Rei**
At our training camp, I even had
to be rescued by Makoto-senpai.
**[09:57] Rei**
It's because of all of you
**[10:00] ---**
that I learned how fun swimming
and the relay could be,
**[10:04] Rei**
and managed to come this far.
**[10:06] Nagisa**
Yeah.
**[10:07] Haruka**
It was all thanks to Nagisa suggesting that
we form a swim club in the first place.
**[10:11] Nagisa**
You don't have to mention
that again, Haru-chan.
**[10:14] Makoto**
I think you've really worked hard, Nagisa.
**[10:16] Makoto**
I was a little worried when you
ran away from home, though.
**[10:19] Rei**
But since then, you've truly worked hard
**[10:21] ---**
to manage both the club and your studies.
**[10:27] Nagisa**
You're more amazing than me, Rei-chan.
**[10:30] Nagisa**
You went from sinking like an anchor
to being able to swim butterfly!
**[10:34] Nagisa**
Even when your goggles slipped off,
you still swam the best you could.
**[10:37] Rei**
That wasn't beautiful at all...
**[10:39] Nagisa**
That's not true!
**[10:40] Makoto**
But now,
**[10:42] ---**
you're able to swim all the different strokes.
**[10:44] Makoto**
You really are amazing.
**[10:45] Rei**
I'm not!
**[10:46] Rei**
It was really all thanks to Rin-san—
**[10:49] Nagisa**
That's right, it was thanks to Rin-chan!
**[10:51] Rei**
How did you know?
**[10:53] Makoto**
Sorry. We knew you tried hard
to keep it a secret, so...
**[10:56] Rei**
If you knew, you should have told me!
**[11:02] Rei**
I'm sincerely grateful to Rin-san.
**[11:06] Haruka**
I'm grateful to Rin, too.
**[11:10] Haruka**
It was because we met again, raced again,
**[11:13] Haruka**
and misunderstood each other that
I lost sight of myself for a while.
**[11:16] Haruka**
But that's what finally made me
realize how you guys really felt.
**[11:21] Haruka**
It was why I wanted to try
swimming the relay with you all.
**[11:24] Haruka**
That was the first relay the
four us swam together.
**[11:30] Makoto**
At first, we were all so frantic
just to get our exchanges right.
**[11:34] Nagisa**
Yeah.
**[11:35] Nagisa**
But we kept training hard and
even got to compete in relays.
**[11:38] Nagisa**
Swimming the relay together was really fun!
**[11:41] Rei**
It was!
**[11:42] Rei**
Though the time we lost to Samezuka's
team was quite frustrating.
**[11:46] Haruka**
Yeah. It was you who
got us fired up again, Rei.
**[11:50] Makoto**
Then we started training hard
to perfect our exchanges.
**[11:53] Nagisa**
And our hard work sure paid off at regionals!
**[11:56] Nagisa**
I bet we'll be able to go even further next year!
**[11:59] Nagisa**
With lots more practicing and training camps,
**[12:01] ---**
we'll be even more amazing next year!
**[12:06] Rei**
What are you saying, Nagisa-kun?
**[12:09] Rei**
After tomorrow's tournament,
our third-year members are retiring.
**[12:14] Nagisa**
That's right...
**[12:15] Rei**
Of course it is!
**[12:17] Rei**
Be it our daily practices, or training
camps, or tournaments, or the relays,
**[12:21] Rei**
next year, it won't be
the four of us anymore.
**[12:30] Makoto**
Rei...
**[12:31] Rei**
Huh? How odd...
**[12:35] Nagisa**
Rei-chan...
**[12:39] Nagisa**
No! I want to keep on swimming
**[12:44] Nagisa**
with Haru-chan and Mako-chan
**[12:46] Nagisa**
and Rei-chan!
**[12:48] Nagisa**
I want the four of us to keep
swimming together forever!
**[12:51] Rei**
I do, too!
**[12:52] Rei**
I finally, finally, learned how to swim, and now...
**[12:58] Rei**
It can't end here!
**[13:18] Makoto**
Don't cry, Nagisa, Rei.
**[13:21] Makoto**
You're men, aren't you?
**[13:23] Nagisa**
Mako-chan!
**[13:26] Makoto**
Besides, there's nothing to cry about.
**[13:30] Makoto**
The four of us are swimming
together tomorrow, aren't we?
**[13:32] Makoto**
Nothing's over yet.
**[13:34] Rei**
But...
**[13:35] Haruka**
He's right.
**[13:36] Nagisa**
Haru-chan?
**[13:38] Haruka**
Swimming the relay together connected us.
**[13:41] Haruka**
So even if we end up walking different paths,
**[13:45] Haruka**
we'll always be connected to each other.
**[13:52] Haruka**
There won't be an end for us.
**[13:59] Rei**
Haruka-senpai...
**[14:02] Nagisa**
You're right.
**[14:03] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[14:24] Makoto**
I wonder if we'll see another
sight we've never seen before.
**[14:27] Haruka**
We will. The four of us together.
**[14:30] Rei**
Indeed!
**[14:32] Nagisa**
Let's go.
**[14:45] Announcer**
We will now begin the men's
400m medley relay, first heat.
**[14:52] Sasabe**
Makoto!
**[14:53] Girls**
Makoto-senpai!
**[14:59] Announcer**
Ready...
**[15:02] All**
Go!
**[15:23] Makoto**
The sight I saw back then...
**[15:40] Makoto**
Nagisa!
**[16:12] Nagisa**
Rei-chan!
**[16:48] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[17:12] Makoto**
Haru...
**[17:16] Nagisa**
Haru-chan...
**[17:17] Rei**
Haruka-senpai...
**[17:35] Makoto**
Haru!
**[17:35] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[17:35] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[17:45] ---**
Sensei!
**[18:20] Rin**
What's the matter?
**[18:21] ---**
Isn't there anyone here who can beat me?
**[18:24] Rin**
Momo!
**[18:24] Momo**
Aww, cut me some slack...
**[18:28] Rin**
Today marks the retirement of us third-years.
**[18:31] Rin**
When April comes, new members will
join you, and a new team will form.
**[18:36] Rin**
My hope is that you will make that
team into the ultimate team.
**[18:40] Rin**
And the year after that,
yet another new team will form,
**[18:43] ---**
and it will carry on our dream.
**[18:45] Rin**
That's why I want all of you
**[18:46] ---**
to look toward that unending dream, too,
**[18:49] ---**
and keep pushing forward!
**[18:51] All**
Yes, sir!
**[18:53] Sousuke**
You're not crying today.
**[18:55] Rin**
And that's why... Ai!
**[18:57] Nitori**
Y-Yes!
**[18:58] Rin**
You will be the new captain.
**[19:02] Rin**
Take care of them.
**[19:04] Nitori**
I will!
**[19:06] Momo**
Take care of us!
**[19:06] Members**
Captain Nitori!
**[19:19] Sousuke**
Rin.
**[19:21] Rin**
Who says your shoulder can't be healed?
**[19:23] Sousuke**
Huh?
**[19:24] Rin**
So what if it's wrecked?
**[19:26] Rin**
Don't crush your own potential
before you even try.
**[19:31] Rin**
I'll be waiting for you.
**[19:34] Rin**
I'll be waiting for you
**[19:36] Rin**
to come back.
**[19:41] Sousuke**
It figures...
**[19:42] Sousuke**
That's just what you would say.
**[19:48] Sousuke**
Well, I'll give it some thought.
**[19:57] Ren**
Hey, won't Onii-chan ever come back?
**[19:59] Ran**
Don't cry, Ren!
**[20:02] Ran**
Onii-chan's studying really
hard and getting super smart!
**[20:06] Ran**
And then he'll definitely come home!
**[20:12] Makoto**
Dang it! It's already time?!
**[20:23] Makoto**
He's hopeless...
**[20:25] Makoto**
Sorry for barging in.
**[20:28] Makoto**
I'm coming in...
**[20:31] Makoto**
Let's go.
**[20:33] Makoto**
We'll be late for our flight,
**[20:36] Makoto**
Haru-chan.
**[20:38] Haruka**
I told you, stop calling me -chan.

Shall we be on our way, then?
**[20:46] Nagisa**
Before we head to Rin-chan's, there's
someplace I'd like to stop first.
**[20:53] Sasabe**
Oh? What's this?
**[20:55] Makoto**
We all wrote down the sights we saw during
the relay that we'd never seen before.
**[20:59] Sasabe**
That sounds interesting! Let me take a look...
**[21:01] Rei**
You can't, Coach Sasabe!
**[21:03] Rei**
We're going to open them

**[00:44] ---**
Why didn't you say anything to me?
**[01:12] ---**
"Why do you have to quit swimming...?"
**[01:16] ---**
"Haru..."
**[01:26] ---**
It's the same...
**[01:32] ---**
I...
**[01:43] ---**
Why... did I dream about back then?
**[01:52] ---**
Morning, Haru.
**[01:54] ---**
Morning.
**[01:56] ---**
Well, shall we go?
**[02:00] ---**
And then, Nagisa kept eating after that...
**[02:03] ---**
That sounds just like him.
**[02:05] ---**
Yeah, but then after that,
he got a personal best.
**[02:08] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:09] ---**
Haru, are you cold?
**[02:11] ---**
The wind is cold.
**[02:13] ---**
It's a little chilly today, huh?
**[02:17] ---**
Even though it's already spring...
**[02:20] ---**
Yeah. It's like there's
a hint of spring in the air?
**[02:23] ---**
I'm always reminded of
a bunch of stuff this time of year.
**[02:28] ---**
Hey, Haru, do you remember?
**[02:29] ---**
When we first met...
**[02:44] ---**
Oh, a dump truck!
**[02:47] ---**
Where?
**[02:48] ---**
Wow, it's so big!
**[02:50] ---**
Wait...!
**[03:00] ---**
Are you okay?
**[03:22] ---**
"Octopus Balls" "Taiyaki" "Pineapples"
**[03:59] ---**
"Tachibana"
**[04:47] ---**
I really am glad I met you, Haru.
**[04:50] ---**
Thanks, Haru-*chan*.
**[04:53] ---**
--I told you not to use "*chan*" --
--Hey! Haru-*chan*, Mako-*chan*!
**[04:58] ---**
Nagisa, Rei!
**[05:02] ---**
You two are early.
**[05:04] ---**
Spring break is almost over.
**[05:06] ---**
Thinking about how I can show a
new me starting in April has me so excited,
**[05:11] ---**
there's no way I can sleep in!
**[05:13] ---**
Oh, Rei-*chan*, you're fired up!
**[05:16] ---**
And I feel like I'm building a lot
of stamina on these long runs!
**[05:21] ---**
You two are so dependable.
**[05:22] ---**
Yeah! I want the four of us
to go as far as we can this year.
**[05:28] ---**
Well then, Haruka-*senpai*.
**[05:30] ---**
Can we take the usual route?
**[05:32] ---**
Yeah, that's fine.
**[05:34] ---**
Then today, I'll take the lead!
**[05:38] ---**
Hey, wait a minute, Nagisa-*kun*!
**[05:41] ---**
Haru, let's go, too.
**[05:52] ---**
*I feel... the clear water*
**[05:55] ---**
*Dive, this moment I was looking for*
**[05:57] ---**
*Our "free" that we will make here*
**[06:04] ---**
"Free! -Timeless Medley- The Bond"
**[06:12] ---**
*Start, on the days we start
moving with bewildered eyes*
**[06:17] ---**
*Ah, chasing the brilliance burned into them*
**[06:22] ---**
*Be free, with the same feelings*
**[06:25] ---**
*Now, let's jump in*
**[06:28] ---**
*With friends that share our passions*
**[06:32] ---**
*To where the heat shines on the water*
**[06:37] ---**
*A new me is screaming*
**[06:43] ---**
*Now, I can start*
**[06:48] ---**
*I'll make it a premonition
of the summer I can finally reach*
**[06:49] ---**
"Club Resignation Letter"
*I'll make it a premonition
of the summer I can finally reach*
**[06:50] ---**
*I'll make it a premonition
of the summer I can finally reach*
**[06:53] ---**
*How much further is it to the full "blue"?*
**[06:59] ---**
*In the midst of the shining "today"*
**[07:03] ---**
*Our stretched-out arms are not yet finished*

*They become lines that reach the future*
**[07:14] ---**
*We'll run through*
**[07:18] ---**
*To tomorrow, rising free*
**[07:38] ---**
And that's our plan for
recruiting new club members.
**[07:42] ---**
We'll get everyone's attention with this,
**[07:45] ---**
and then we'll get new members
with really excellent muscles!
**[07:50] ---**
Yeah!
**[07:52] ---**
And now, we will introduce
the members of the Iwatobi Swim Club!
**[07:54] ---**
"New Student Welcome Ceremony"
And now, we will introduce
the members of the Iwatobi Swim Club!
**[07:57] ---**
Our treasurer!
**[08:04] ---**
I'm Hazuki Nagisa, second year!
**[08:05] ---**
"Come! Join the Swim Club!"
My specialty is the breaststroke.
**[08:07] ---**
My best feature is my soleus muscle!
**[08:11] ---**
Our vice captain!
**[08:16] ---**
I'm Nanase Haruka, third year.
**[08:18] ---**
My specialty is freestyle.
**[08:19] ---**
My best feature is my triceps.
**[08:23] ---**
Our secretary!
**[08:28] ---**
I'm Ryugazaki Rei, second year!
**[08:30] ---**
My specialty is butterfly!
**[08:31] ---**
My best features are my deltoids and my biceps!
**[08:36] ---**
And our captain!
**[08:41] ---**
I'm Tachibana Makoto, third year!
**[08:43] ---**
My specialty is the backstroke.
**[08:44] ---**
My best feature is...
**[08:46] ---**
...my trapezius muscle!
**[08:48] ---**
We welcome new members
with beautiful muscles!
**[08:52] ---**
"Welcome Swim Club"
**[08:55] ---**
Why?!
**[08:57] ---**
We all tried so hard, too...
**[09:00] ---**
Well, it's because we were really
just showing off our muscles.
**[09:06] ---**
Really? That Haruka is?
**[09:09] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[09:11] ---**
Does this mean he's matured?
**[09:14] ---**
Honestly, at the race last year,
I was surprised, too,
**[09:19] ---**
but it looks like Nanase-*kun* and
the others have something in mind...
**[09:19] ---**
"Principal's Office"
but it looks like Nanase-*kun* and
the others have something in mind...
**[09:21] ---**
but it looks like Nanase-*kun* and
the others have something in mind...
**[09:25] ---**
Up until now, I could never figure out what
I could do to help as their faculty advisor,
**[09:31] ---**
but I feel like they're
the ones encouraging me...
**[09:36] ---**
Well, a lot's happened, but I'm glad he's
able to face swimming in his own way.
**[09:44] ---**
Ever since he was a kid, he's always
been fussy about only swimming freestyle.
**[10:02] ---**
"Samezuka Academy"
**[10:35] ---**
Kids their age grow every day...
**[10:40] ---**
I mean, isn't adolescence great?
**[10:44] ---**
But Haruka's already a third year, right?
**[10:46] ---**
And so's Makoto. I wonder if they're
giving any thought to their future...
**[10:51] ---**
I'm sure they'll be fine.
**[10:54] ---**
I mean, they're working
so earnestly on their swimming.
**[11:00] ---**
I hope you're right...
**[11:10] ---**
That reminds me...
**[11:12] ---**
Have you guys thought about
what you'll do after graduation?
**[11:17] ---**
Not really.
**[11:18] ---**
What do you mean, "not really"?
**[11:22] ---**
Rin, you're aiming for the world, right?
**[11:25] ---**
Yeah, I've already wasted a lot of time.
**[11:29] ---**
This summer's nationals are my last chance.
**[11:32] ---**
Scouts will be at the nationals.
**[11:34] ---**
If I do well there,
I can get closer to my dream.
**[11:41] ---**
Haru, Makoto.
**[11:44] ---**
What do you two plan on doing?
**[11:47] ---**
I...
**[11:50] ---**
...haven't decided yet.
**[12:00] ---**
You haven't thought about it?
**[12:04] ---**
"City Tournament Venue"
**[12:05] ---**
--Um, since this is the city tournament,
we only enter those who want to--
--Rin-*chan*!
**[12:13] ---**
Wh--?
**[12:14] ---**
Anyway, those not used to tournaments
should take this opportunity to gain experience.
**[12:18] ---**
That's all.
**[12:19] ---**
--Yes, sir!
--Yes, sir!
**[12:21] ---**
Rin-*san* was more captain-like than expected.
**[12:24] ---**
"I'm going to kill you if you
don't give it your all, you scum!"
**[12:27] ---**
is what I thought he'd say.
**[12:29] ---**
No, he wouldn't say that.
**[12:31] ---**
You guys are late!
**[12:32] ---**
What? Goro-*chan*, you're swimming, too?
**[12:34] ---**
Yeah, there's a category
for the general public, too.
**[12:38] ---**
It's a lot more laidback than
the prefectural tournament.
**[12:40] ---**
This is pretty nice, too, isn't it?
**[12:42] ---**
The muscles aren't as good, though.
**[12:45] ---**
It's also too bad there's no relay.
**[12:48] ---**
I agree.
**[12:50] ---**
But we can still do a relay
in the prefectural tournament.
**[12:59] ---**
Waiting in a place like this, Rin?
**[13:02] ---**
I was waiting for you, Haru.
**[13:05] ---**
Our lanes are next to each other again, huh?
**[13:07] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:08] ---**
You guys couldn't really swim
over the winter, could you?
**[13:12] ---**
In that case, I can give you
a handicap if you want.
**[13:16] ---**
There's no need.
**[13:18] ---**
Even if we couldn't swim, we kept training.
**[13:22] ---**
Sounds like you're working hard.
**[13:26] ---**
--Show me the results of that trai--
--I'll definitely win!
**[13:29] ---**
No, I'm gonna win!
**[13:30] ---**
I won't lose to you!
**[13:35] ---**
We can't compete in the relay today,
**[13:38] ---**
so it's just you and me.
**[13:40] ---**
I don't care about records or anything.
**[13:43] ---**
You're still saying that?
**[13:48] ---**
Even if you don't care about winning or losing,
**[13:50] ---**
you still think you're
the best in the water, don't you?
**[13:54] ---**
I'm going to fire up that cold heart of yours.
**[14:00] ---**
Oh, it's Haru-*chan* and Rin-*chan* next!
**[14:03] ---**
Big Brother!
**[14:04] ---**
Haru!
**[14:05] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*!
**[14:07] ---**
Ready...
**[14:12] ---**
They're both fast!
**[14:26] ---**
Rin's quickly widening his lead.
**[14:27] ---**
Don't lose, Haru-*chan*!
**[14:30] ---**
--Haruka-*senpai*!
--Haru!
**[14:58] ---**
They're on a completely different
level from the other swimmers.
**[15:01] ---**
Haru-*chan*'s amazing!
**[15:02] ---**
He's slowly catching up to Rin-*chan*!
**[15:13] ---**
Exactly the same...
**[15:15] ---**
...time.
**[15:16] ---**
The swimmers in lanes four and five,
**[15:19] ---**
Nanase-*kun* and Matsuoka-*kun*,
have just set a new tournament record.
**[15:22] ---**
Haru.
**[15:32] ---**
You *did* get fired up.
**[15:36] ---**
Not really.
**[15:47] ---**
Let's run along the coast today.
**[15:49] ---**
Sounds good.
**[15:50] ---**
Today's warm, and we can increase
our distance to prepare for the tournament.
**[15:54] ---**
Yeah.
**[15:59] ---**
Hey, Haru?
**[16:00] ---**
What?
**[16:01] ---**
What are you planning to do?
**[16:03] ---**
About what?
**[16:04] ---**
What Rin was talking about.
**[16:07] ---**
What do you two plan on doing?
**[16:11] ---**
I don't care as long as I can swim.
**[16:18] ---**
That's just like you, Haru.
**[16:20] ---**
"One more day until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[16:22] ---**
"Tomorrow's the prefectural tournament!!"
**[16:24] ---**
Tomorrow's the day of
the prefectural tournament!
**[16:26] ---**
Everyone, please rest well today.
**[16:30] ---**
We'll meet tomorrow
in front of registration at 8 a.m.
**[16:32] ---**
Don't be late!
**[16:34] ---**
Understand?
**[16:35] ---**
No problem!
**[16:37] ---**
We're totally ready.
**[16:38] ---**
We even got matching swimsuits.
**[16:42] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[16:43] ---**
Let's go over the program one more time.
**[16:46] ---**
The first day of the tournament
is the individual races.
**[16:48] ---**
The second day is the relay.
**[16:50] ---**
Our individual events are:
Nagisa in the 100 m breaststroke.
**[16:53] ---**
Yup.
**[16:54] ---**
Rei in the 100 m butterfly.
**[16:55] ---**
Yes!
**[16:57] ---**
Haru in the 100 m and 200 m freestyle.
**[16:59] ---**
And me in the 100 m backstroke
and 200 m freestyle.
**[17:03] ---**
But why are you swimming the 200 m
freestyle and not the 100 m, Tachibana-*kun*?
**[17:07] ---**
Because I can't hold
a candle to Haru in the 100 m.
**[17:10] ---**
Makoto-*senpai*, after you
decided to focus on the 200 m,
**[17:13] ---**
you worked really hard and
trained more every day, didn't you?
**[17:18] ---**
When I think about competing with Haru,
I know that's not nearly enough, though.
**[17:37] ---**
Hey, Haru.
**[17:40] ---**
I have a favor to ask.
**[17:45] ---**
Men's 100 m breaststroke, group 3.
**[17:48] ---**
First up is Nagisa-*kun*'s breaststroke.
**[17:59] ---**
Ready...
**[18:01] ---**
Go!
**[18:03] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Nagisa!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Nagisa!
**[18:09] ---**
--Push! Push, push, push, push, Nagisa!
--Push! Push, push, push, push, Nagisa!
**[18:17] ---**
Ready, go!
**[18:19] ---**
Nagisa-*kun* is in the lead!
**[18:23] ---**
"Fly high! Iwatobi Swim Club"
**[18:24] ---**
"Fly high! Iwatobi Swim Club"
Someone's coming from behind!
**[18:26] ---**
It's okay--Nagisa always extends his arms
more when he gets close to the goal!
**[18:35] ---**
"Nitori Aiichiro"
"Hazuki Nagisa"
"Nagasaku Yoichi"
**[18:38] ---**
"Ono Masakazu"
"Taniguchi Nobuhiro"
"Kawano Naoto"
**[18:39] ---**
He did it!
**[18:40] ---**
Nagisa-*kun* made it past the preliminaries!
**[18:43] ---**
Yay!
**[18:44] ---**
Good job, Nagisa!
**[18:47] ---**
Backstroke is next, Makoto!
**[18:49] ---**
Go and win it with this momentum!
**[18:52] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[18:55] ---**
The men's 100 m backstroke will now begin.
**[19:01] ---**
Ready...
**[19:05] ---**
Go!
**[19:11] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Makoto!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Makoto!
**[19:16] ---**
Push! Push, push, push, push, Makoto!
**[19:19] ---**
--Push! Push, push, push, push, Makoto!
--Mako-*chan*'s fast!

Makoto-*senpai* has made it
through the preliminaries!
**[19:37] ---**
Yay!
**[19:40] ---**
And now, the time is ripe for me to appear!
**[19:44] ---**
I will present to you
a perfect butterfly stroke, then!
**[19:49] ---**
Rei-*chan*, you're going to jinx yourself.
**[19:54] ---**
Ready...
**[19:57] ---**
Go!
**[20:02] ---**
"Tsumura Kengo"
"Ishitani Tetsuya"
"Ryugazaki Rei"
**[20:03] ---**
Even though he almost jinxed himself,
Rei-*kun* made it to the next round, too!
**[20:07] ---**
That's amazing, Rei-*chan*!
**[20:08] ---**
Thank you... very much...
**[20:12] ---**
Tachibana-*kun*, Hazuki-*kun*,
Ryugazaki-*kun*, you're all amazing!
**[20:17] ---**
You all made it to the regional
tournament in your specialties.
**[20:21] ---**
Freestyle starts this afternoon, though.
**[20:23] ---**
We 'on't needa see th' race
to know Haru-*chan* will win!
**[20:26] ---**
Speaking of which, Makoto,
you're swimming freestyle, too, aren't you?
**[20:29] ---**
--Yes.
--I'm looking forward to it!
**[20:31] ---**
C'mon, don't forget about the race
between my big brother and Haruka-*senpai*!
**[20:41] ---**
Haru.
**[20:46] ---**
About yesterday...
**[20:53] ---**
I know.
**[21:04] ---**
Makoto is swimming freestyle, too?
**[21:11] ---**
Ready...
**[21:15] ---**
Go!
**[21:19] ---**
Makoto-*senpai* passed Haruka-*senpai*?!
**[21:22] ---**
Was Tachibana-*kun* always faster than Nanase-*kun*?
**[21:26] ---**
What is that idiot Makoto doing?
**[21:28] ---**
Doesn't he realize that unlike the 100 m,
he needs to pace himself in the 200 m race?
**[21:34] ---**
If he swims that fast in the first half,
he won't last until the end.
**[21:41] ---**
Hey, Haru. I have a favor to ask.
**[21:47] ---**
I want you to swim against me seriously
in the 200 m freestyle race tomorrow.
**[21:54] ---**
Why?
**[21:57] ---**
Why did you say you
were going to swim freestyle?
**[21:59] ---**
Do you want to race against me that much?
**[22:04] ---**
After this summer's tournament is over,
us third years are retiring, right?
**[22:09] ---**
So before that happens, I wanted
to have a serious race against you.
**[22:16] ---**
Why do you swim?
**[22:23] ---**
So I can swim with you... with our friends.
**[22:29] ---**
But...
**[22:31] ---**
...tomorrow, I'm going
to swim so I can beat you.
**[22:42] ---**
It's the last turn.
**[22:45] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*'s caught up!
**[22:47] ---**
But Mako-*chan*'s speed is slowly...
**[22:50] ---**
Decreasing...
**[23:13] ---**
"Tanaka Kenta"
"Nanase Haruka"
"Tachibana Makoto"
**[23:29] ---**
Makoto...
**[23:30] ---**
I lost!
**[23:37] ---**
You're the best in the
water after all, Haru-*chan*.
**[23:47] ---**
What's up with that?
**[23:53] ---**
The men's 100 m freestyle will now begin.
**[23:57] ---**
It's finally time for the race between
my big brother and Haruka-*senpai*!
**[24:05] ---**
Ready...
**[24:07] ---**
Go!
**[24:13] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Haruka!
**[24:19] ---**
--Ready... fight! Fight!
--Fight! Fight!
**[24:22] ---**
You can do it, Rin!
**[24:29] ---**
What is with those two? They're so fast
that no one else even comes close!
**[24:38] ---**
"Nanase Haruka"
"Matsuoka Rin"
"Yamauchi Ryota"
**[24:43] ---**
Haruka-*senpai* won!
**[24:45] ---**
The difference between them was...
**[24:47] ---**
...just 0.02 seconds.
**[24:49] ---**
W-Wow...
**[24:51] ---**
Wow, what an amazing race!
As expected of Nanase-*kun*!
**[24:55] ---**
Yes!
**[24:57] ---**
But I feel conflicted...
**[25:02] ---**
Hey.
**[25:03] ---**
Why did you want to swim against Haru-*chan*?
**[25:08] ---**
I wanted to swim seriously against Haru, too.
**[25:15] ---**
I wonder why?
**[25:17] ---**
I think I was jealous of Rin.
**[25:25] ---**
I see.
**[25:33] ---**
Haru, you were amazing today.
**[25:35] ---**
I'm sure you'll get scouted
from all over the country.
**[25:44] ---**
If you get scouted, what will you do?
**[25:52] ---**
I won't do anything.
**[25:54] ---**
You'd turn them down?
**[25:56] ---**
It doesn't matter if I get scouted or not.
**[26:01] ---**
I swim because I want to.
**[26:06] ---**
What is it?
**[26:08] ---**
It's nothing. Night, Haru.
**[26:20] ---**
No hard feelings no matter who wins.
**[26:22] ---**
Just make sure you make it to the regionals.
**[26:25] ---**
I don't need you to tell me that.
**[26:29] ---**
I let you have the freestyle race yesterday,
but today'll be different.
**[26:34] ---**
I'm sure those kids will be okay.
**[26:44] ---**
Ready,
**[26:45] ---**
set...
**[26:48] ---**
Go!
**[26:51] ---**
He reacted late!
**[26:52] ---**
It's okay, I'm sure
Tachibana-*kun* can make up for it!
**[26:55] ---**
Looking good, Momo!
**[26:56] ---**
He's taking the lead!
**[26:59] ---**
--Ready... fight! Fight!
--Fight! Fight!
**[27:05] ---**
Makoto is catching up!
**[27:11] ---**
Go, Nagisa!
**[27:23] ---**
Nagisa's usual extension in
the second half isn't working!
**[27:30] ---**
Samezuka stays in the lead after the exchange!
**[27:35] ---**
Rei-*kun* is desperately trying
to catch up, but he can't catch up!
**[27:48] ---**
Haru!
**[27:50] ---**
Haru-*chan*!
**[27:52] ---**
Rin-*san* is turning first!
**[28:16] ---**
"Samezuka Academy"
"Iwatobi High School"
Yes!
**[28:17] ---**
Yes!
**[28:19] ---**
All right, all right, Samezuka! All right!
**[28:21] ---**
We lost...
**[28:22] ---**
Yeah.
**[28:24] ---**
But we made it past the prelims.
**[28:25] ---**
We're in the regional tournament!
**[28:29] ---**
Good work.
**[28:30] ---**
We got first place!
**[28:31] ---**
Yeah!
**[28:32] ---**
All right!
**[28:33] ---**
Whoo!
**[28:41] ---**
"Congratulations, swim club,
on making it to the regional tournament!"
**[28:43] ---**
They made a real banner for us this year.
**[28:45] ---**
Last year, they reused the one
for the judo club, remember?
**[28:48] ---**
Yeah... but I wonder
why I don't feel very happy?
**[28:52] ---**
It's because we lost to Samezuka, of course!
**[28:56] ---**
Aren't you guys frustrated, too?
**[28:59] ---**
I am extremely frustrated.
**[29:03] ---**
Even if we made it to the regionals,
we lost to Samezuka in the relay.
**[29:13] ---**
Let's go practice.
**[29:15] ---**
Okay.
**[29:16] ---**
Look at this!
**[29:18] ---**
Even though Makoto-*senpai*,
Rei-*kun*, and Nagisa-*kun*
**[29:20] ---**
made it to the regionals
in their individual races,
**[29:24] ---**
their times just barely qualified.
**[29:26] ---**
All the top spots are filled
with Samezuka swimmers.
**[29:29] ---**
Our times can't win against
Samezuka after all, huh?
**[29:33] ---**
The only one who stayed at the top
was Haruka-*senpai* in freestyle.
**[29:37] ---**
This means Iwatobi is still far from
being able to compete with Samezuka.
**[29:43] ---**
Everyone, don't be content with these results.
**[29:46] ---**
You must continue to train extra hard--
**[29:47] ---**
Big news! Big news!
**[29:50] ---**
What's wrong, Miss Ama-*chan*?
**[29:53] ---**
I've been contacted... by someone...
who wants to scout Nanase-*kun*!
**[30:01] ---**
They said they saw the
100 m freestyle race two days ago.
**[30:04] ---**
Really?
**[30:05] ---**
You did it, Haru-*chan*!
**[30:07] ---**
Won't that help you decide what
to do after you graduate, too?
**[30:11] ---**
There's the saying, "Tomorrow will take care
of itself. It's whether or not you let it..."
**[30:21] ---**
Haru.
**[30:28] ---**
I wonder what Haruka-*senpai* wants to do?
**[30:30] ---**
Speaking of which, Haru-*chan* wrote
"Free" on his career planning worksheet.
**[30:34] ---**
"Free"? What's that supposed to mean?
**[30:37] ---**
It can't possibly mean
"free part-timer," can it?
**[30:39] ---**
Hm... I don't think so.
**[30:42] ---**
Then a "freelance competitive swimmer"?
**[30:45] ---**
I don't think that's it, either.
**[30:47] ---**
Then what in the world...?
**[30:51] ---**
I don't know, but for Haru-*chan*,
"free" means "freestyle."
**[30:58] ---**
I don't get it.
**[31:01] ---**
But it's very much like Haruka-*senpai*.
**[31:07] ---**
There was another offer today, but...
**[31:09] ---**
Nanase-*kun*'s still like that.
**[31:12] ---**
It looks like my brother
got a lot of offers, too!
**[31:15] ---**
So I'm sure Haruka-*senpai* will be fine, too.
**[31:18] ---**
He'll get motivated eventually!
**[31:21] ---**
I wonder if that's what Haru wants?
**[31:23] ---**
Huh?
**[31:24] ---**
Nothing.
**[31:26] ---**
By the way, have you decided what
you'll do after graduation, Makoto-*senpai*?
**[31:30] ---**
I'm still not sure, but I'll probably
go to the local college.
**[31:36] ---**
Really?
**[31:46] ---**
"Best luck"
**[31:46] ---**
"Best luck"
Wow, Mako-*chan*, you got "best luck"!
**[31:48] ---**
"The person you await comes!"
**[31:50] ---**
"You'll win contests."
**[31:51] ---**
"A thousand blessings for your journey."
**[31:53] ---**
"Your lucky directions are north and east."
**[32:00] ---**
No matter what anyone says,
I like your swimming, Haruka-*senpai*.
**[32:05] ---**
It's not based on theory or calculations.
**[32:07] ---**
I feel the power in it, and it makes
me want to swim like that, too.
**[32:13] ---**
Freely.
**[32:15] ---**
Rei.
**[32:16] ---**
That's why I think you should just be "free."
**[32:21] ---**
That word has a lot of different meanings.
**[32:23] ---**
But I think that really being "free" means
not being held captive by anything
**[32:27] ---**
and having a free spirit.
**[32:30] ---**
That's why it doesn't matter what you choose.
**[32:33] ---**
As long as you are you, that's being "free."
**[32:42] ---**
Sorry, I'm in no position
to speak like that to you...
**[32:48] ---**
"Best luck"
**[32:57] ---**
Haru-*chan*, you made this training regimen?
**[33:00] ---**
I modified Gou's regimen a little.
**[33:03] ---**
You added practice for relay exchanges?
**[33:06] ---**
That way, we can make up for our lack of speed
**[33:08] ---**
by shortening the exchange time
as much as possible, right?
**[33:13] ---**
Yes.
**[33:14] ---**
With our teamwork, we can definitely
close the gap between Samezuka and us.
**[33:21] ---**
I want to swim with you all.
**[33:24] ---**
That's what's important to me right now.
**[33:28] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*!
**[33:29] ---**
Let's do it!
**[33:31] ---**
With the four of us, let's beat
Samezuka and go to the nationals!
**[33:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[33:42] ---**
Hello!
**[33:43] ---**
Hello.
**[33:49] ---**
Coach Sasabe!
**[33:50] ---**
Oh, if it isn't Makoto!
**[33:53] ---**
The swimming club looks lively.
**[33:56] ---**
Yeah, I'm glad, but we're short-staffed
so I'm always really busy.
**[34:00] ---**
Sorry I haven't been able
to go watch your practices.
**[34:04] ---**
It's okay.
**[34:05] ---**
Oh, Coach Sasabe, these are the results
for the races at the prefectural tournament...
**[34:10] ---**
Coach Sasabe, hurry up!
**[34:12] ---**
Ah, okay, wait! I'll be right there!
**[34:16] ---**
Coach Sasabe!
**[34:17] ---**
Huh?
**[34:18] ---**
Do you need help?
**[34:20] ---**
You'll help out?
**[34:22] ---**
Yeah, if you'll have me.
**[34:26] ---**
What?
**[34:27] ---**
Mako-*chan*, you started helping out
at Goro-*chan*'s place yesterday?
**[34:31] ---**
Coach Sasabe helped us a lot, so I thought
maybe I could return the favor a little.
**[34:36] ---**
But we can't have you doing that by yourself!
**[34:40] ---**
We'll help, too!
**[34:41] ---**
Right? Don't you feel the same way, Rei-*chan*?
**[34:44] ---**
Of course!
**[34:46] ---**
Thanks, you two.
**[34:48] ---**
But don't you both have
other things you should be doing?
**[34:52] ---**
But...
**[34:54] ---**
Aren't you worried, too, Haruka-*senpai*?
**[34:58] ---**
I only swim.
**[34:59] ---**
Makoto should do what he wants.
**[35:02] ---**
Haru-*chan*...
**[35:03] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*...
**[35:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[35:06] ---**
Please teach us today, too!
**[35:08] ---**
Okay, do your best.
**[35:10] ---**
Coach Tachibana, what are we gonna do today?
**[35:13] ---**
Let's start with some
kicking practice, shall we?
**[35:16] ---**
Okay!
**[35:20] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[35:23] ---**
Bye, Coach Tachibana!
**[35:25] ---**
See you later!
**[35:26] ---**
Bye!
**[35:28] ---**
Bye!
**[35:34] ---**
Hayato-*kun*.
**[35:36] ---**
What's wrong?
**[35:37] ---**
You didn't have fun today?
**[35:42] ---**
I... hate swimming.
**[35:45] ---**
Hayato!
**[35:47] ---**
Big Brother Kisumi!
**[35:49] ---**
Sorry I'm late.
**[35:50] ---**
Kisumi...?
**[35:51] ---**
Hm?
**[35:53] ---**
Shigino Kisumi?
**[35:56] ---**
Are you... Makoto?!
**[35:58] ---**
Yeah! It's been a while, hasn't it, Kisumi?
**[36:01] ---**
Yeah, it's been a while.
**[36:04] ---**
Since junior high, I think?
**[36:08] ---**
Is there a reason why
Hayato-*kun* hates swimming?
**[36:14] ---**
I'd like you to tell me if you know.
**[36:17] ---**
It's probably my fault...
**[36:20] ---**
Huh?
**[36:21] ---**
A while ago, we went on a boat
in the ocean with our family,
**[36:22] ---**
"Break room"
A while ago, we went on a boat
in the ocean with our family,
**[36:24] ---**
A while ago, we went on a boat
in the ocean with our family,
**[36:26] ---**
and while Hayato was playing
around, he fell overboard.
**[36:29] ---**
He almost drowned.
**[36:32] ---**
It wasn't that deep, and he was
rescued right away, so it wasn't serious,
**[36:36] ---**
but it seems like it was really scary for him.
**[36:40] ---**
Is that what happened?
**[36:42] ---**
Since he started hating
his swimming class at school,
**[36:45] ---**
I wanted to watch over him until he learns
to swim at his own pace at the swimming school.
**[36:51] ---**
Kisumi...
**[36:53] ---**
If it's causing him pain--
**[36:55] ---**
I want to help Hayato learn to swim.
**[37:00] ---**
Makoto...?
**[37:02] ---**
He kind of reminds me
of myself when I was little.
**[37:08] ---**
So I don't want you or Hayato-*kun* to give up.
**[37:17] ---**
You really love swimming, don't you, Makoto?
**[37:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[37:23] ---**
Makoto, I'm leaving Hayato to you.
**[37:27] ---**
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
**[37:29] ---**
Okay, thanks.
**[37:33] ---**
Oh, Haru.
**[37:34] ---**
Wait, Haru?!
**[37:36] ---**
It's been so long!
**[37:37] ---**
Oh, it reminds me of junior high!
**[37:41] ---**
Right after Rin went to study abroad,
you seemed really sad, remember?
**[37:48] ---**
Kisumi, you went to the same
elementary school as Rin, right?
**[37:51] ---**
Oh yeah, with Sosuke, too.
**[37:54] ---**
Makoto.
**[37:54] ---**
Oh, is it this late already?
**[37:57] ---**
Let's go home.
**[37:58] ---**
You're so heartless, Haru.
**[38:00] ---**
It's been so long since we last saw each other.
**[38:04] ---**
We'll see each other again.
**[38:06] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[38:07] ---**
Big Brother Kisumi!
**[38:09] ---**
Hayato! Well, see you later, Makoto!
**[38:11] ---**
You too, Haru!
**[38:16] ---**
I guess we should go home, too.
**[38:21] ---**
But Hayato was really scared, so I'm trying
to figure out what to teach him first.
**[38:29] ---**
What did you do when you were scared?
**[38:31] ---**
If you think about that,
you might figure something out.
**[38:36] ---**
In my case,
**[38:38] ---**
I could see the sky when I swam backstroke,
**[38:43] ---**
so I wasn't scared anymore.
**[38:46] ---**
But people don't usually teach
backstroke right off the bat, so...
**[38:52] ---**
That doesn't matter, does it?
**[38:54] ---**
Huh?
**[38:55] ---**
You should just do things your way.
**[38:58] ---**
Haru?
**[39:02] ---**
You're right. I'll try it.
**[39:08] ---**
"Hayato"
**[39:12] ---**
Hayato-*kun*, do you want to try
a different kind of swimming today?
**[39:15] ---**
Huh?
**[39:17] ---**
A kind where you don't have
to put your face in the water,
**[39:19] ---**
where you can look at the sky while you swim.
**[39:21] ---**
There's no way I could do that.
**[39:25] ---**
I'll make sure to hold you up, so don't worry.
**[39:28] ---**
I promise I won't let you sink.
**[39:31] ---**
I can't do it.
**[39:32] ---**
Because... Because...
**[39:35] ---**
I'm scared!
**[39:37] ---**
It's okay. I promise
I won't let go of your hand.
**[39:45] ---**
It won't be scary?
**[39:47] ---**
Nope. I promise.
**[39:52] ---**
--Hayato-*kun*!
--You can do it!
**[39:54] ---**
You can do it!
**[39:55] ---**
Let's go. Kick the water to move forward.
**[40:01] ---**
Hayato, open your eyes.
**[40:20] ---**
Wow, it's the backstroke!
**[40:22] ---**
Hayato!
**[40:29] ---**
Hayato! Hayato!
**[40:36] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[40:44] ---**
Oh, Hayato?
**[40:46] ---**
You know what? I'm not...
scared of swimming anymore.
**[40:53] ---**
It was fun!
**[40:57] ---**
Yeah, it's because you worked hard.
**[41:02] ---**
Thanks, Coach Tachibana!
**[41:06] ---**
Sure.
**[41:11] ---**
Good work today!
**[41:12] ---**
You too!
**[41:14] ---**
Oh, Makoto!
**[41:16] ---**
I hired a new part-timer just now,
so you don't need to come anymore.
**[41:20] ---**
Huh?
**[41:21] ---**
Can you just help out until next week?
**[41:24] ---**
What's wrong? You're not happy about it?
**[41:29] ---**
That's not it.
**[41:30] ---**
Then be safe going home.
**[41:33] ---**
I will.
**[41:33] ---**
"Path of the Iwatobi Swimming Club"
**[41:43] ---**
You all are still practicing?
**[41:46] ---**
Miss Ama-*chan*!
**[41:47] ---**
If you stay past the time to go home,
the guidance counselor will get mad.
**[41:52] ---**
The regional tournament is next week.
**[41:54] ---**
So we want to practice as much as we can...
**[41:57] ---**
The more we practice our relay
exchanges, the better we'll get.
**[42:00] ---**
Let's do it one more time.
**[42:02] ---**
Okay.
**[42:03] ---**
Practice your relay exchanges?
**[42:04] ---**
That's right.
**[42:05] ---**
--Our only chance to beat the top schools is to
shorten our exchange time as much as possible.
--Here I go!
**[42:15] ---**
To predict when your teammate
is going to touch the wall,
**[42:18] ---**
start bending over when they start reaching out,
**[42:21] ---**
and then kick the starting block
at the same time they touch the wall.
**[42:25] ---**
The ideal relay exchange time is zero seconds.
**[42:27] ---**
But if you cut it that close
and make a false start...
**[42:31] ---**
Yeah, we'd be disqualified.
**[42:33] ---**
But we can't be afraid of a false start.
**[42:36] ---**
If we master this timing,
we can shorten our time even more.
**[42:42] ---**
Oh, you boys are still here?
**[42:44] ---**
Huh?
**[42:44] ---**
Oh, the guidance counselor...
**[42:46] ---**
And even the principal!
**[42:48] ---**
I-I'm sorry, we were all
just about to go home...
**[42:52] ---**
Oh no, don't worry about it.
**[42:54] ---**
More importantly, Nanase-*kun*,
I heard that you'd been scouted.
**[43:00] ---**
That's amazing! You are the pride of our school.
**[43:04] ---**
Everyone is watching
the regional tournament closely.
**[43:06] ---**
Do your best.
**[43:11] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[43:13] ---**
Wow, a huge hotel!
**[43:15] ---**
It's obviously a different level
from our hotel last year.
**[43:18] ---**
Don't tell me only Gou-*chan* and Miss Amakata
are staying here, and we're in tents...?
**[43:23] ---**
Like last year's training camp?
**[43:26] ---**
What are you saying?
**[43:28] ---**
Yeah, you all are the stars.
**[43:32] ---**
But there is this saying,
**[43:34] ---**
"There's no such thing as a free lunch.
**[43:36] ---**
Even so, it is priceless!"
**[43:38] ---**
"Restaurant RIKUCHI"
**[43:39] ---**
I got plenty of funds from Miss Amakata,
so please eat whatever you want!
**[43:45] ---**
We can choose whatever we want?
**[43:47] ---**
I want this.
**[43:48] ---**
Oh, they're so cute!
**[43:50] ---**
"We have chub mackerel"
Chub mackerel...
**[43:51] ---**
"We have chub mackerel"
Haru...
**[43:54] ---**
--I want my guys to hear that story, too!
--Captain Mikoshiba?
**[43:55] ---**
--I want my guys to hear that story, too!
--Why is he here...?
**[43:56] ---**
Right?
**[43:57] ---**
Hm? Oh, Gou-*kun*, Nanase-*kun*! You guys!
**[44:02] ---**
Hello!
**[44:03] ---**
And this is...?
**[44:05] ---**
This is Toudou-*san*, the scout for my college.
**[44:09] ---**
Scout...?
**[44:10] ---**
I thought I could introduce him to some
of the Samezuka swimmers since I'm an alum.
**[44:15] ---**
Is this Nanase-*kun* from Iwatobi High School?
**[44:17] ---**
Yes!
**[44:18] ---**
He knows about Haruka-*senpai*?
**[44:20] ---**
Of course I do.
**[44:23] ---**
Oh, you must be Nanase-*kun*.
**[44:25] ---**
Freestyle's Nanase Haruka.
**[44:28] ---**
How could anyone forget his swimming
at the prefectural tournament?
**[44:32] ---**
Our school and other colleges
are all paying attention.
**[44:37] ---**
I can feel the infinite
possibilities in your talent.
**[44:42] ---**
You can't let that talent go to waste.
**[44:44] ---**
You can go much higher.
**[44:48] ---**
I'm expecting a lot from tomorrow's race.
**[44:57] ---**
What, Haru's not here?
**[44:59] ---**
He was gone when I got out of the shower.
**[45:01] ---**
Maybe he went running by himself.
**[45:04] ---**
Jeez, a lot of scouts
are coming to watch tomorrow.
**[45:07] ---**
What's he doing the night
before such an important race?
**[45:10] ---**
Did you need to talk to Haru?
**[45:13] ---**
I wanted to see if he'd finally decided yet.
**[45:17] ---**
But it looks like he's
just running away, as usual.
**[45:20] ---**
Jeez, I don't know what he's thinking.
**[45:22] ---**
But I'm sure Haru's thinking
about things in his own way.
**[45:27] ---**
Even if he doesn't say it out loud.
**[45:31] ---**
How can I know if he doesn't say anything?
**[45:36] ---**
Well, what about you?
**[45:39] ---**
Huh?
**[45:40] ---**
With your abilities, you should
be getting a scout or two yourself.
**[45:50] ---**
I...
**[45:52] ---**
Haru-*chan*, Mako-*chan*, listen to this!
**[45:54] ---**
--Wait, Rin-*chan*?!
--Rin-*san*?
**[45:56] ---**
You guys, don't stay up late before a race!
**[45:59] ---**
Ow! Ow...
**[46:01] ---**
It's only 11 p.m.!
**[46:03] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[46:05] ---**
I just had something to talk to Haru about.
**[46:07] ---**
It doesn't look like he's here
though, so I'm going back.
**[46:09] ---**
Later.
**[46:11] ---**
Wait, Rin-*chan*.
**[46:12] ---**
Hm?
**[46:13] ---**
We won't lose tomorrow.
**[46:18] ---**
That's *my* line.
**[46:24] ---**
You are the pride of our school.
**[46:26] ---**
Do your best.
**[46:28] ---**
You can't let that talent go to waste.
**[46:30] ---**
I'm expecting a lot.
**[46:41] ---**
So bright...
**[46:42] ---**
It's finally time, isn't it, Haru?
**[46:44] ---**
What are you talking about out of the blue?
**[46:45] ---**
The race today!
**[46:47] ---**
I'm sure a ton of scouts will come watch!
**[46:51] ---**
It doesn't matter.
**[46:52] ---**
Theoretically speaking, there's no way
you won't catch the attention of the scouts!
**[46:59] ---**
That's enough. Stop it.
**[47:01] ---**
Your swimming is wonderful, Nanase-*kun*.
**[47:06] ---**
There is a saying,
**[47:07] ---**
"You can't run away.
**[47:08] ---**
If you do, you will just end up in a dead end."
**[47:12] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*!
**[47:14] ---**
Look, my brother's waiting!
**[47:17] ---**
Come on, let's go, Haru!
**[47:32] ---**
Ready...
**[47:41] ---**
Nanase-*kun*.
**[47:42] ---**
Come, show me your swimming!
**[47:45] ---**
Your freestyle!
**[48:13] ---**
It's finally time!
**[48:15] ---**
I'm starting to get nervous.
**[48:16] ---**
What's wrong, Haru?
**[48:18] ---**
Nothing.
**[48:20] ---**
Hey, aren't those college scouts over there?
**[48:23] ---**
Those people over there
look like they're scouts, too.
**[48:25] ---**
There are a lot of them here.
**[48:26] ---**
Yeah, that means if we swim well here,
a ton of schools will want us!
**[48:32] ---**
Haru?
**[48:33] ---**
Haru? Hey, Haru!
**[48:37] ---**
Are you sure you're all right?
**[48:40] ---**
Yeah, it's nothing.
**[48:43] ---**
It's almost time.
**[48:44] ---**
Let's go, Haru-*chan*!
**[48:46] ---**
Do your best, everyone!
**[48:48] ---**
--Okay!
--Yeah!
**[48:49] ---**
Well, let's all focus and do our best!
**[48:54] ---**
Yeah!
**[48:57] ---**
Men's 100 m backstroke, group 3.
**[49:00] ---**
Makoto-*senpai*!
**[49:01] ---**
Mako-*chan*!
**[49:04] ---**
Ready...
**[49:06] ---**
Go!
**[49:07] ---**
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Makoto!
--Go! Go, go, go, go, Makoto!
**[49:13] ---**
--Push! Push, push, push, push, Makoto!
--Push! Push, push, push, push, Makoto!
**[49:19] ---**
Last lap, last lap, last lap, last lap!
**[49:21] ---**
--Last lap, last lap, last lap, last lap!
--Last lap, last lap, last lap, last lap!
**[49:24] ---**
Last lap, last lap, last lap, last lap!
**[49:26] ---**
Nice swim!
**[49:28] ---**
As I thought, it's a completely different
level from the prefectural tournament.
**[49:31] ---**
This is what the regional tournament is like...
**[49:35] ---**
It looks like Makoto
didn't make it to the finals.
**[49:39] ---**
Yeah.
**[49:39] ---**
Haru, have you made a decision?
**[49:41] ---**
Not really.
**[49:43] ---**
Don't be like that.
**[49:45] ---**
After the prefectural tournament,
a bunch of scouts came to see me.
**[49:49] ---**
They went to your school too, didn't they?
**[49:54] ---**
Whatever.
**[49:56] ---**
We'll talk more about this after the race.
**[49:58] ---**
I'm going first.
**[50:03] ---**
Men's 100 m freestyle, group 6.
**[50:06] ---**
Next is Haruka-*senpai*!
**[50:23] ---**
Ready...
**[50:28] ---**
Go!
**[50:58] ---**
I...
**[51:27] ---**
Haru-*chan*...
**[51:35] ---**
Haru!
**[51:38] ---**
What are you doing?
**[51:40] ---**
Why did you do that?!
**[51:42] ---**
It has nothing to do with you.
**[51:44] ---**
What the hell?
**[51:45] ---**
All the scouts are watching
this important match!
**[51:48] ---**
So what?
**[51:49] ---**
Huh?
**[51:50] ---**
Just because the scouts are watching...
**[51:52] ---**
Just to set a record
in front of a lot of people...
**[51:55] ---**
I'm not swimming for things like that.
**[52:01] ---**
Then why do you swim?
**[52:05] ---**
For myself and for my friends.
**[52:09] ---**
Then swim! For yourself and your friends!
**[52:14] ---**
Don't you know that that'll lead to your future?
**[52:17] ---**
Don't you have a dream?
**[52:20] ---**
Take it more seriously!
You'd definitely be able to--
**[52:25] ---**
You're the one that doesn't understand!
**[52:27] ---**
What "dream"? What "future"?!
**[52:30] ---**
That's what *you* want, isn't it?
**[52:32] ---**
I'm different from you!
I don't have anything like that!
**[52:46] ---**
Haru...
**[52:47] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*...
**[52:49] ---**
You guys were here?
**[52:53] ---**
Don't worry.
**[52:54] ---**
Nagisa, Rei, Makoto.
**[52:57] ---**
I'll swim the relay with you guys.
**[53:00] ---**
That's what I've come here for.
**[53:12] ---**
I couldn't make it to the individual finals...
**[53:13] ---**
"Private Lessons"
I couldn't make it to the individual finals...
**[53:14] ---**
"Private Lessons"
Me neither...
**[53:16] ---**
But you were really close, Rei-*chan*!
**[53:19] ---**
No one'd believe you'd only been
swimming competitively for a little over a year.
**[53:25] ---**
Thank you.
**[53:27] ---**
Your time seemed like
it could make the finals, too,
**[53:31] ---**
and your swimming was wonderful.
**[53:33] ---**
Yeah, thanks, Rei-*chan*!
**[53:37] ---**
Let's do our best in the relay.
**[53:41] ---**
I wonder if Haruka-*senpai* will be okay...
**[53:43] ---**
Of course! Haru-*chan* said
he wanted to swim with us, didn't he?
**[53:49] ---**
Let's believe in those words right now.
**[53:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[53:55] ---**
I can't swim the way I want to...
**[53:57] ---**
--I just get so nervous during the tournament...
**[53:58] ---**
--If we're going to do it,
then we should definitely try to win.
--I just get so nervous during the tournament...
**[54:01] ---**
--If we're going to do it,
then we should definitely try to win.
--Actually, in the past, I had a similar problem.
**[54:01] ---**
--Yeah.
--Actually, in the past, I had a similar problem.
**[54:02] ---**
--We'll swim in a way only the Iwatobi Team can.
--Actually, in the past, I had a similar problem.
**[54:04] ---**
--We'll swim in a way only the Iwatobi Team can.
--Some kid with glasses recommended
some books on mental training to me.
**[54:05] ---**
--Yeah!
--Some kid with glasses recommended
some books on mental training to me.
**[54:10] ---**
"Mental Training"
**[54:11] ---**
Tell me more about that!
**[54:14] ---**
Hm... What should I do?
**[54:15] ---**
Come on, it's fine, isn't it?
**[54:18] ---**
Rei-*chan*? What's the matter?
**[54:20] ---**
Oh, it's nothing...
**[54:25] ---**
"Congratulations, swim club,
on making it to the national tournament!"
**[54:27] ---**
Congrats on getting
to nationals for the medley relay!
**[54:30] ---**
Thanks!
**[54:31] ---**
But, man, Hazuki-*kun* and
Ryugazaki-*kun* worked really hard, huh?
**[54:35] ---**
Yeah, Haruka-*senpai* and
Makoto-*senpai* also swam really well.
**[54:40] ---**
At this rate, they should be able
to do pretty well at the nationals, huh?
**[54:43] ---**
Um, well...
**[54:45] ---**
What's the matter?
**[54:46] ---**
It's just that after the tournament, their
relay time hasn't been getting much better...
**[54:52] ---**
Is Nanase-*senpai* all right?
**[54:54] ---**
Huh?
**[54:55] ---**
That race seemed a little off...
**[55:00] ---**
Haru-*chan* is staying after
to practice by himself again today, huh?
**[55:04] ---**
Haruka-*senpai* won't be able
to swim freestyle at the nationals, will he?
**[55:09] ---**
No.
**[55:10] ---**
Is that really okay?
**[55:13] ---**
What do you mean?
**[55:15] ---**
"I only swim freestyle."
**[55:16] ---**
That was Haruka-*senpai*'s style.
**[55:19] ---**
After seeing that Haruka-*senpai* swim,
**[55:23] ---**
I wanted to swim like that, too.
**[55:26] ---**
But Haruka-*senpai* isn't swimming freestyle.
**[55:30] ---**
He's just swimming relay.
**[55:32] ---**
We might have been
the ones who changed him.
**[55:37] ---**
What?!
**[55:39] ---**
Are you saying that's a bad thing, Rei-*chan*?
**[55:42] ---**
You don't want to swim relay with Haru-*chan*?
**[55:44] ---**
Of course I want to swim with him!
**[55:49] ---**
I'm just saying...
**[55:50] ---**
I want Haruka-*senpai* to keep being
the Haruka-*senpai* that was free.
**[55:58] ---**
The Haru-*chan* that was free, huh?
**[56:02] ---**
It's almost *obon*, huh?
**[56:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[56:05] ---**
Are your parents coming home?
**[56:07] ---**
Yeah, at the end of summer.
**[56:09] ---**
"Fireworks Festival" "Spirit Boat Procession"
**[56:11] ---**
They seem to act freely, as usual, huh?
**[56:13] ---**
Oh yeah, let's go to the
fireworks festival with everyone!
**[56:16] ---**
Let's invite Nagisa and Rei, too.
**[56:19] ---**
Yeah, we should.
**[56:24] ---**
Later.
**[56:25] ---**
Oh, Haru!
**[56:26] ---**
Huh?
**[56:28] ---**
Um...
**[56:29] ---**
After we graduate...
**[56:32] ---**
I don't want to talk about that.
**[56:33] ---**
No, it's not what you think--
**[56:36] ---**
Big Brother!
**[56:38] ---**
--Whoa!
--Welcome home!
**[56:39] ---**
Dinner's ready!
**[56:41] ---**
Haru-*chan*, you should come in, too!
**[56:42] ---**
Let's eat together!
**[56:44] ---**
Not today.
**[56:46] ---**
Aw...
**[56:47] ---**
Then let's eat together next time, okay?
**[56:49] ---**
Okay.
**[56:51] ---**
Good night.
**[56:55] ---**
Please look at this. It's a graph of your times.
**[57:01] ---**
Our relay time isn't getting better.
**[57:04] ---**
That's right.
**[57:05] ---**
After the regionals, even though
your individual times have gotten better,
**[57:09] ---**
for some reason, your relay time
isn't getting any better.
**[57:12] ---**
Our relay exchanges should be working, though.
**[57:14] ---**
Does this mean we do worse
when we swim together?
**[57:17] ---**
That can't be true!
**[57:18] ---**
This is a serious problem.
**[57:20] ---**
Coach Sasabe will adjust the training regime,
**[57:24] ---**
so please do your best to get out of this
situation before the national tournament!
**[57:33] ---**
Oh, is this--?
**[57:35] ---**
It's the Iwatobi-*chan* strap that
Haruka-*senpai* carved out of wood
**[57:39] ---**
to get people to join the swim club last year.
**[57:42] ---**
Rei-*chan*, I can't believe you still have it!
**[57:44] ---**
Yes.
**[57:45] ---**
I wonder if we'll get new members next year...
**[57:48] ---**
Of course we will.
**[57:50] ---**
We're going to the national tournament.
**[57:53] ---**
There's no way people will not want
to join a club with such a track record.
**[57:58] ---**
But after the national tournament,
**[58:01] ---**
the third years, Makoto-*senpai*
and Haruka-*senpai*, will retire, huh?
**[58:08] ---**
I wonder what Haru-*chan* will do?
**[58:11] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*...
**[58:12] ---**
Hm?
**[58:13] ---**
What would you want for him?
**[58:18] ---**
I feel the same way as you.
**[58:20] ---**
I want Haru-*chan* to always be himself.
**[58:24] ---**
That's why I don't like seeing
an indecisive Haru-*chan*, I think.
**[58:28] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*...
**[58:32] ---**
Even though this is the last tournament
the four of us can swim together...
**[58:35] ---**
Is it really okay for us to stay like this?
**[58:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[58:39] ---**
We have to tell Haru-*chan* how we feel.
**[58:59] ---**
It's beautiful.
**[59:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[59:05] ---**
Hey, Haru-*chan*.
**[59:07] ---**
What is it?
**[59:08] ---**
Before we swim in the national tournament,
**[59:11] ---**
there's something we have to talk about.
**[59:13] ---**
If we don't, I feel like
we can't be a real team.
**[59:18] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*.
**[59:20] ---**
Nagisa-*kun* and I both admire your swimming.
**[59:25] ---**
Seeing your unwavering, free swimming,
I also felt like I wanted to swim like that.
**[59:31] ---**
But your swimming now that you
aren't swimming freestyle isn't like you.
**[59:40] ---**
I want you to swim in front
of more people around the world.
**[59:47] ---**
And I want them to be so moved
by your swimming like we were
**[59:53] ---**
that they want to swim like you.
**[59:56] ---**
I don't think there could be
anything more wonderful than that.
**[1:00:00] ---**
Rei...
**[1:00:01] ---**
Nagisa...
**[1:00:05] ---**
I don't understand that feeling.
**[1:00:13] ---**
Haru-*chan*...
**[1:00:14] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*...
**[1:00:27] ---**
I thought you'd be here.
**[1:00:32] ---**
Haru,
**[1:00:34] ---**
I don't think we should
keep going like this either.
**[1:00:39] ---**
Until now, I've always thought that
as long as you were okay, that was fine.
**[1:00:44] ---**
No matter what Rin said, I wanted
to be considerate of your feelings.
**[1:00:49] ---**
But at the regional tournament, you said to Rin:
**[1:00:54] ---**
What "dream"? What "future"?!
**[1:00:57] ---**
That's what *you* want, isn't it?
**[1:00:58] ---**
I'm different from you!
I don't have anything like that!
**[1:01:02] ---**
If you really want to stay as you are now,
**[1:01:07] ---**
I won't say anything.
**[1:01:09] ---**
But if it's just because
you can't find your dream,
**[1:01:12] ---**
then...
**[1:01:14] ---**
...I want you to find it.
**[1:01:20] ---**
You want me to find it?
**[1:01:23] ---**
Is it something you can find just by trying?
**[1:01:27] ---**
That's...
**[1:01:28] ---**
That's enough.
**[1:01:30] ---**
Let's not talk about this anymore.
**[1:01:32] ---**
Wait!
**[1:01:33] ---**
Let go of me!
**[1:01:33] ---**
Listen to me!
**[1:01:35] ---**
Even if I do, nothing will change!
**[1:01:37] ---**
It's not something I can find just by trying.
**[1:01:40] ---**
I'm fine the way I am.
**[1:01:42] ---**
That's not true!
You actually want to find it, too!
**[1:01:45] ---**
You should find it and go out into the world!
**[1:01:49] ---**
You have the talent to do that!
**[1:01:51] ---**
You're going to say things like that, too?
**[1:01:54] ---**
Where I swim, and who I swim for--
**[1:01:57] ---**
That's up to me, isn't it?
**[1:01:59] ---**
I'm saying that I'm fine the way I am!
**[1:02:01] ---**
There's no way you're fine!
**[1:02:04] ---**
You're not fine!
That's why everyone's saying it!
**[1:02:06] ---**
Nagisa, Rei, Rin, and me!
**[1:02:11] ---**
We all love you...
You're important to all of us...
**[1:02:16] ---**
Why can't you understand?
**[1:02:18] ---**
We want you to gaze upon a dream... a future...
**[1:02:23] ---**
Don't worry about other people!
**[1:02:25] ---**
Stop meddling!
**[1:02:28] ---**
"A dream"? "A future"?
**[1:02:31] ---**
Then what about you?
**[1:02:33] ---**
Don't say these things
when you haven't decided yourself!
**[1:02:39] ---**
Say something.
**[1:02:44] ---**
I *have* decided.
**[1:02:47] ---**
I'm...
**[1:02:48] ---**
...going to college in Tokyo.
**[1:02:58] ---**
I wanted to tell you,
**[1:03:00] ---**
but I just couldn't get the words out.
**[1:03:06] ---**
I--
**[1:03:07] ---**
Do what you want!
**[1:03:10] ---**
Haru!
**[1:03:33] ---**
Who is it?
**[1:03:35] ---**
Rin?
**[1:03:37] ---**
Yo, Haru. We're going out.
**[1:03:40] ---**
Hurry up and get ready.
**[1:03:42] ---**
Let's go.
**[1:03:43] ---**
Go where?
**[1:03:44] ---**
Where?
**[1:03:48] ---**
To Australia, of course.
**[1:04:04] ---**
What's the purpose of your visit?
**[1:04:09] ---**
What is he saying?
**[1:04:11] ---**
Sightseeing.
**[1:04:17] ---**
Hey!
**[1:04:22] ---**
Hey, where are you taking me?
**[1:04:26] ---**
Follow me, and you'll find out.
**[1:04:28] ---**
That's our bus.
**[1:04:29] ---**
Get on. Hurry.
**[1:04:31] ---**
Wait... hey!
**[1:04:44] ---**
"Strawberry milk"
**[1:04:45] ---**
What?!
**[1:04:46] ---**
Haru-*chan* went to Australia?
**[1:04:49] ---**
Why would he do that?
**[1:04:51] ---**
And why would Rin-*san*
take him out of the blue...?
**[1:04:54] ---**
I did ask Rin for advice about Haru,
**[1:04:58] ---**
but I didn't think Rin
would take him to Australia.
**[1:05:01] ---**
I wonder what Rin-*san* is trying to do?
**[1:05:04] ---**
Who knows?
**[1:05:07] ---**
I don't know,
**[1:05:10] ---**
but I'm sure it'll be
a special journey for Haru.
**[1:05:19] ---**
I hope Haru-*chan* comes back feeling better.
**[1:05:43] ---**
Rin?
**[1:05:46] ---**
Hey! Rin!
**[1:05:49] ---**
Haru!
**[1:05:53] ---**
I bought some drinks.
**[1:05:55] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[1:05:57] ---**
Don't go off on your own.
**[1:06:02] ---**
Sorry.
**[1:06:12] ---**
At the last tournament, too...
**[1:06:15] ---**
Don't you have a dream?
**[1:06:18] ---**
You're the one that doesn't understand!
**[1:06:21] ---**
I ignored your feelings and
projected my own feelings onto you.
**[1:06:29] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[1:06:32] ---**
But there's one thing
I want you to understand--
**[1:06:35] ---**
I've always admired you.
**[1:06:42] ---**
Ah, I'm glad I got that out.
**[1:06:46] ---**
Ready to go?
**[1:06:47] ---**
Where?
**[1:06:50] ---**
Don't look so worried.
**[1:06:56] ---**
What do you think?
**[1:06:58] ---**
You must feel calmer near the ocean, right?
**[1:07:08] ---**
Let's go.
**[1:07:10] ---**
I don't feel like it.
**[1:07:13] ---**
What?
**[1:07:15] ---**
This from the guy who always
starts stripping at the sight of water?
**[1:07:18] ---**
Shut up.
**[1:07:21] ---**
I thought you'd definitely
refuse to come to Australia,
**[1:07:24] ---**
but you actually came.
**[1:07:26] ---**
Did something happen?
**[1:07:28] ---**
No, I just didn't want to be there anymore.
**[1:07:32] ---**
Did you fight with Makoto or something?
**[1:07:36] ---**
What, I was right?
**[1:07:38] ---**
It's just a fight.
**[1:07:40] ---**
Sosuke and I fight all the time.
**[1:07:45] ---**
It...
**[1:07:48] ---**
...was our first fight.
**[1:07:53] ---**
Speaking of Makoto, it sounds like
he's decided what to do after graduation.
**[1:08:00] ---**
He said he wanted to tell you soon, too.
**[1:08:05] ---**
Doesn't gazing at the ocean
like this make you feel at peace?
**[1:08:10] ---**
The first time I came to this country,
looking at the ocean here made me feel relieved.
**[1:08:20] ---**
Welcome back!
**[1:08:22] ---**
How've you been, son?
**[1:08:23] ---**
How are things back in Japan?
**[1:08:24] ---**
I've been doing well, Russell!
**[1:08:27] ---**
My, how you've grown!
**[1:08:29] ---**
That's because I've been swimming every day.
**[1:08:31] ---**
Every day? You love it that much?!
**[1:08:34] ---**
Yes!
**[1:08:36] ---**
Still swimming with that old mate of yours?
**[1:08:38] ---**
Oh, you're talking about his friend Haruka!
**[1:08:41] ---**
Haru?
**[1:08:42] ---**
Rin, is that your friend, Haru?
**[1:08:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:08:45] ---**
Haru! Don't just stand there. Come here!
**[1:08:48] ---**
This is Russell and Lori.
They took care of me during my homestay.
**[1:08:52] ---**
Please, start!
**[1:08:54] ---**
Have as much as you like!
**[1:08:58] ---**
Thank you...
**[1:08:59] ---**
Haru's just as you described him, Rin...
**[1:09:02] ---**
A cool attitude, and eyes clear as water.
**[1:09:05] ---**
You're right, love.
**[1:09:07] ---**
She says your eyes are
as clear as water, and you act cool.
**[1:09:10] ---**
Rin says you only swim free.
**[1:09:13] ---**
Haru, you only swim... free?
**[1:09:17] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[1:09:19] ---**
So it's true!
**[1:09:20] ---**
--Why do they even know that?
--Uh-huh.
**[1:09:22] ---**
Oh, that's because--
**[1:09:24] ---**
Rin really looks up to you, Haru!
**[1:09:26] ---**
Every time he talked about you,
he was always full of admiration.
**[1:09:31] ---**
Hey, now...
**[1:09:33] ---**
Hey, what did she say?
**[1:09:35] ---**
Does it matter?
**[1:09:37] ---**
Yes, it does.
**[1:09:40] ---**
Well, she was saying that I talked about you...
**[1:09:44] ---**
So mate, you got a girlfriend back in Japan?
**[1:09:47] ---**
Umm... that is...
**[1:09:53] ---**
I guess that's a "no."
**[1:09:54] ---**
Our boy Rin's a late bloomer.
**[1:09:56] ---**
Right.
**[1:09:57] ---**
Remember the time he...
**[1:09:59] ---**
We don't have to talk about that, Lori.
**[1:10:03] ---**
It's summertime in Japan now, right?
**[1:10:05] ---**
That's right.
**[1:10:06] ---**
Isn't summer really hot there?
**[1:10:07] ---**
Yes, it's hotter than hell!
**[1:10:13] ---**
Rin, Haru. Glad we got to see you boys tonight!
**[1:10:16] ---**
Please come back and visit us anytime!
**[1:10:19] ---**
I'll keep in touch!
**[1:10:20] ---**
Have a great stay!
**[1:10:21] ---**
Thanks Russell, Lori. Bye!
**[1:10:30] ---**
Hm?
**[1:10:31] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[1:10:32] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[1:10:35] ---**
Okay. Let's go, then.
**[1:10:53] ---**
What?!
**[1:10:56] ---**
I don't believe this!
**[1:10:59] ---**
Is stuff like this normal in Australia?
**[1:11:02] ---**
No!
**[1:11:04] ---**
It's gotta be your fault.
It's because your name is so girly...
**[1:11:08] ---**
So's yours.
**[1:11:09] ---**
What? It's your fault!
**[1:11:11] ---**
No, it's yours.
**[1:11:12] ---**
Yours!
**[1:11:13] ---**
--Yours!
--Yours!
**[1:11:15] ---**
Anyway, we don't have time for this now.
**[1:11:18] ---**
I'll go talk to the front desk!
**[1:11:25] ---**
I can't believe this.
**[1:11:27] ---**
It won't matter once we fall asleep.
**[1:11:28] ---**
Hurry up and go to sleep.
**[1:11:31] ---**
I guess that's true.
**[1:11:45] ---**
Hey, Haru...
**[1:11:49] ---**
I said I'd always admired you, right?
**[1:11:54] ---**
You might not remember this,
but I still remember to this day.
**[1:11:59] ---**
The day I first met you...
**[1:12:02] ---**
"Haruka Nanase"
"Rin Matsuoka"
**[1:12:03] ---**
Honestly, I didn't think I'd lose to anyone.
**[1:12:10] ---**
But any frustration
I felt was blown away in a second...
**[1:12:13] ---**
I thought, "There's a guy out
there more amazing than me,"
**[1:12:16] ---**
and, "I want to swim like him."
**[1:12:19] ---**
That's why it's bad for me if you're not
always there when I'm moving forward,
**[1:12:24] ---**
swimming in front of me.
**[1:12:26] ---**
If you're not, there's no point.
**[1:12:31] ---**
I remember that tournament, too.
**[1:12:36] ---**
Do you remember that freestyle race
we swam in the spring tournament?
**[1:12:40] ---**
That race where we tied
and set a new tournament record.
**[1:12:44] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:12:46] ---**
I was testing you at that time.
**[1:12:51] ---**
I wanted to see if it was
really over for you or not.
**[1:12:57] ---**
And then, when I felt your presence
coming up from behind me, I was sure.
**[1:13:03] ---**
I could tell you were a guy who would
enter the same world as me after all.
**[1:13:08] ---**
Hey, Haru. Did you feel anything at that time?
**[1:13:35] ---**
You said you couldn't
find your own dream, right?
**[1:13:39] ---**
But if you do find it, what will you do?
**[1:14:16] ---**
We're here.
**[1:14:18] ---**
Where are we?
**[1:14:19] ---**
The place where they hold
world-class swim competitions.
**[1:14:22] ---**
Let's go.
**[1:14:31] ---**
Haru, over here.
**[1:14:36] ---**
This is where world-famous swimmers competed.
**[1:14:42] ---**
This is what I wanted to show you.
**[1:14:47] ---**
Let's swim, Haru.
**[1:14:48] ---**
We can swim here?
**[1:14:50] ---**
Of course. Anyone can swim here.
**[1:14:53] ---**
I don't have a swimsuit with me...
**[1:14:55] ---**
You can borrow one of mine.
**[1:14:56] ---**
Over here.
**[1:15:06] ---**
Oh, it's the national team!
**[1:15:09] ---**
The national team?
**[1:15:11] ---**
They practice here.
**[1:15:13] ---**
We can swim in a place like this?
**[1:15:16] ---**
No one else is swimming.
**[1:15:18] ---**
Well, there's a leisure pool over there.
**[1:15:21] ---**
People who don't have the nerve to swim
next to the national team won't come here.
**[1:15:26] ---**
What'll you do?
**[1:15:48] ---**
Hey, mate.
**[1:15:51] ---**
How's it going?
**[1:15:53] ---**
Let's go!
**[1:16:13] ---**
I want to swim.
**[1:16:28] ---**
I want to keep...
**[1:16:30] ---**
...swimming here...
**[1:16:33] ---**
...forever...
**[1:16:39] ---**
Haru, let's go, too!
**[1:16:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:16:57] ---**
Haru! Rin!
**[1:16:59] ---**
Makoto!
**[1:17:00] ---**
You came all this way to meet us?
**[1:17:03] ---**
You must be tired from your trip.
**[1:17:09] ---**
Haru.
**[1:17:12] ---**
Welcome home.
**[1:17:19] ---**
I'm back...
**[1:17:21] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:17:23] ---**
Let's go.
**[1:17:25] ---**
Everyone's waiting.
**[1:17:34] ---**
I'm finally getting used to this pool.
**[1:17:36] ---**
Yes.
**[1:17:37] ---**
During the race the day after tomorrow,
all the seats will be filled with people, huh?
**[1:17:42] ---**
Are you nervous, Rei-*chan*?
**[1:17:44] ---**
No, I've worked hard for this day.
**[1:17:47] ---**
I have no reason to be nervous.
**[1:17:50] ---**
You've finally grown some
hair on your chest, huh?
**[1:17:52] ---**
No, I haven't.
**[1:17:54] ---**
Oh, Makoto-*senpai* and
the others should be back soon.
**[1:17:58] ---**
It's that time already?
**[1:17:59] ---**
Let's hurry!
**[1:18:01] ---**
Rei-*chan*?
**[1:18:02] ---**
I wonder if Haruka-*senpai*
is feeling better now...
**[1:18:07] ---**
Don't worry! I'm sure
he'll come back feeling better!
**[1:18:10] ---**
Let's go!
**[1:18:13] ---**
All right!
**[1:18:15] ---**
Everyone arrived today
to get ready for the tournament.
**[1:18:27] ---**
I'm gonna go meet up with my team.
**[1:18:29] ---**
Later.
**[1:18:32] ---**
Rin!
**[1:18:34] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:18:39] ---**
Sure.
**[1:18:43] ---**
Hey!
**[1:18:45] ---**
Haru-*chan*!
**[1:18:46] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*!
**[1:18:48] ---**
Nagisa, Rei.
**[1:18:50] ---**
Welcome back, Haru-*chan*.
**[1:18:52] ---**
I'm glad you made it back safely.
**[1:18:54] ---**
We were so worried about you! Rei-*chan* even--
**[1:18:58] ---**
N-Nagisa-*kun*!
**[1:19:00] ---**
I'm sorry I made you worry.
**[1:19:03] ---**
It's all right.
**[1:19:05] ---**
More importantly, you should rest
well since the race is in two days.
**[1:19:10] ---**
After that, we'll make our final
adjustments for the real thing.
**[1:19:12] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:19:14] ---**
Makoto.
**[1:19:15] ---**
Nagisa, Rei.
**[1:19:17] ---**
There's...
**[1:19:19] ---**
...something I want to tell you guys.
**[1:19:24] ---**
Until now,
**[1:19:26] ---**
I've never cared about my time
or about winning or losing.
**[1:19:29] ---**
I swam because I wanted to swim.
**[1:19:31] ---**
If I worried about those things,
I would lose my reason for swimming.
**[1:19:35] ---**
That's what I thought.
**[1:19:37] ---**
Rin's dream is to aim for the world.
**[1:19:40] ---**
He's jumping into the world of
competitive swimming for that dream.
**[1:19:44] ---**
Then, what about me?
**[1:19:46] ---**
Should I enter the world of competitive
swimming just because I want to swim?
**[1:19:51] ---**
Into the world of winning and losing?
**[1:19:53] ---**
No.
**[1:19:55] ---**
I'm different from Rin.
**[1:19:58] ---**
I don't have strong feelings like he does.
**[1:20:04] ---**
That's why...
**[1:20:06] ---**
I couldn't respond to the things you guys said.
**[1:20:09] ---**
I didn't think a dream was
something you found by looking for it.
**[1:20:15] ---**
But...
**[1:20:16] ---**
...after Rin brought me to Australia,
**[1:20:18] ---**
and showed me different views,
**[1:20:21] ---**
I saw how wide the world is...
**[1:20:24] ---**
If you do find it, what will you do?
**[1:20:27] ---**
...and I found it.
**[1:20:31] ---**
I want to swim...
**[1:20:33] ---**
...in that world.
**[1:20:37] ---**
I want to keep swimming.
**[1:20:39] ---**
That's why I will think about my time
and about winning and losing.
**[1:20:44] ---**
For the sake of my own dream.
**[1:20:48] ---**
This trip really was special
for you, right, Haru?
**[1:20:52] ---**
I'm glad, Haru-*chan*!
**[1:20:54] ---**
If that's the dream you found, Haruka-*senpai*,
**[1:20:58] ---**
all we can do is cheer
you on with all our strength.
**[1:21:02] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:21:06] ---**
As expected of the national tournament.
**[1:21:08] ---**
Everyone's so fast.
**[1:21:10] ---**
Makoto.
**[1:21:13] ---**
Before... I said...
**[1:21:17] ---**
...something terrible to you...
**[1:21:21] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[1:21:24] ---**
Haru...
**[1:21:27] ---**
No,
**[1:21:29] ---**
I'm sorry, too.
**[1:21:31] ---**
I couldn't bring myself to
tell you about my career plans.
**[1:21:35] ---**
I didn't think I was suited
for competitive swimming.
**[1:21:40] ---**
The world of competition is not for me.
**[1:21:43] ---**
That's why I thought I'd just go
to a local college or something.
**[1:21:49] ---**
Because there wasn't
anything else I wanted to do, either.
**[1:21:53] ---**
That was when I went to go help Coach Sasabe.
**[1:21:58] ---**
At first, I just thought of it as helping out,
**[1:22:01] ---**
but teaching kids how to swim
gradually got more and more fun.
**[1:22:06] ---**
That's where I met Hayato
**[1:22:08] ---**
and felt like I wanted
to help him swim somehow.
**[1:22:12] ---**
You gave me advice when I didn't
know what to do, remember, Haru?
**[1:22:16] ---**
I didn't do anything.
**[1:22:19] ---**
When Hayato was able to swim backstroke,
**[1:22:22] ---**
he said he wasn't scared of
swimming anymore--that it was fun.
**[1:22:27] ---**
I was really happy when he said that.
**[1:22:31] ---**
That's why I want more and more kids
to know how fun swimming is.
**[1:22:41] ---**
I want to teach swimming.
**[1:22:44] ---**
That's why I'm going to college in Tokyo.
**[1:22:48] ---**
That's the dream that I've found.
**[1:22:53] ---**
I see.
**[1:22:55] ---**
I'm sure you'll be fine.
**[1:22:58] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:22:59] ---**
But now I have to study harder...
**[1:23:04] ---**
That's true.
**[1:23:09] ---**
"Samezuka Academy"
**[1:23:18] ---**
Will we be able to see a scene
we've never seen before?
**[1:23:22] ---**
We will. The four of us will see it together.
**[1:23:25] ---**
Yes!
**[1:23:26] ---**
Let's go.
**[1:23:39] ---**
We will now have the men's
400 m medley relay, group 1 race.
**[1:23:46] ---**
Makoto!
**[1:23:47] ---**
Makoto-*senpai*!
**[1:23:53] ---**
Ready...
**[1:23:57] ---**
Go!
**[1:24:20] ---**
This scene...
**[1:24:36] ---**
Nagisa!
**[1:25:13] ---**
Rei-*chan*!
**[1:25:48] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*!
**[1:26:16] ---**
Haru.
**[1:26:20] ---**
Haru-*chan*.
**[1:26:21] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*.
**[1:26:38] ---**
--Haru!
--Haru-*chan*!
--Haruka-*senpai*!
**[1:26:42] ---**
--Haruka-*senpai*!
--Nanase-*senpai*!
--You can do it!
**[1:27:47] ---**
*When I made this connection,
I discovered something*
**[1:27:55] ---**
*I'll never forget the scene I never saw
before that I saw with these friends*
**[1:28:01] ---**
It's over...
**[1:28:04] ---**
I had a lot of fun, you know!
**[1:28:06] ---**
I did, too.
**[1:28:08] ---**
I'm proud of being able to swim
such a wonderful relay with everyone.
**[1:28:13] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[1:28:14] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[1:28:17] ---**
But this is really the end, huh?
**[1:28:20] ---**
Come on, Nagisa. Don't look so gloomy!
**[1:28:23] ---**
There's still time before graduation.
**[1:28:25] ---**
Sorry, Mako-*chan*.
**[1:28:29] ---**
Nagisa...
**[1:28:31] ---**
I'm grateful that you asked me
and Makoto to join the swim club.
**[1:28:35] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:28:36] ---**
Sure!
**[1:28:39] ---**
Rei, you did a good job making it this far.
**[1:28:41] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*...
**[1:28:43] ---**
Even though this is over,
we will always be friends.
**[1:28:48] ---**
I'm counting on you from now on, too.
**[1:28:50] ---**
Yeah...
**[1:28:52] ---**
Makoto.
**[1:28:54] ---**
You were a support for all of us.
**[1:28:58] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:29:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:29:20] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[1:29:23] ---**
Oh, look at that!
**[1:29:25] ---**
Wow, they look like wings!
**[1:29:29] ---**
So beautiful...
**[1:29:30] ---**
Hey, let's take a picture together!
**[1:29:33] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*, it's dangerous to run like that!
**[1:29:36] ---**
Come on, hurry up, you two!
**[1:29:38] ---**
Yeah, Haru. Let's go, too.
**[1:29:42] ---**
*I swim for the team. We swim together.*
**[1:29:46] ---**
*I believe in my team. We start from here.*

**[1:29:59] ---**
*I feel like my dream will take
shape someday as I keep smiling*
**[1:30:07] ---**
*I want to keep remembering
my feelings from today*
**[1:30:15] ---**
*I think we can go anywhere*
**[1:30:19] ---**
*What do I feel about the free sky right now?*
**[1:30:25] ---**
*My eyes squint at the brightness,
and I can believe*
**[1:30:34] ---**
*When I made this connection,
I discovered something*
**[1:30:42] ---**
*I'll never forget the scene I never saw
before that I saw with these friends*
**[1:30:51] ---**
*We become one in the midst of joy*
**[1:30:59] ---**
*You taught me, didn't you?
The amazing ever blue*
**[1:31:21] ---**

(every time together)*
**[1:31:25] ---**
*Keep piling it on here (every day for my team)*

(forever we are friends)*

*We'll be waiting, don't doubt it*

**[1:31:49] ---**
*It's not the end,
but the start of a new experience*
**[1:31:57] ---**
*I jump into the water and I feel you*
**[1:32:05] ---**
*My best friends, swimming
through the same time as me*
**[1:32:13] ---**
*I swim for the team. We swim together.*

*I swim for the team. We swim together.*
"National Tournament - 6th Place"
**[1:32:26] ---**
*I believe in my team. We are EVER BLUE*
"National Tournament - 6th Place"
**[1:32:31] ---**
"National Tournament - 6th Place"
**[1:32:43] ---**
Where am I...?
**[1:32:51] ---**
Hey, where's Sosuke?
**[1:32:53] ---**
He went to get something to drink earlier...
**[1:32:56] ---**
Jeez, did he get lost again?
**[1:32:59] ---**
I'll go look for him!
**[1:33:08] ---**
Go, Ikuya!
**[1:33:10] ---**
Kirishima-*kun*!
**[1:33:11] ---**
Ikuya!
**[1:33:13] ---**
Kirishima!
**[1:33:23] ---**
What's with that guy...?
**[1:33:34] ---**
Really? Good job.
**[1:33:36] ---**
How was your time?
**[1:33:37] ---**
Are you hitting a plateau?
**[1:33:39] ---**
No. Don't worry. Everything's fine.
**[1:33:44] ---**
My strokes are lengthening, too.
**[1:33:46] ---**
In fact, it's scary how little
I feel like I'm plateauing.
**[1:33:50] ---**
That's reassuring.
**[1:33:51] ---**
But Kinjo from Suda-higashi and Terashima
from Oomori Gakuin are also getting faster.
**[1:33:57] ---**
Wasn't it a tough race?
**[1:34:00] ---**
It's fine, Big Bro.
**[1:34:03] ---**
I won't lose to anyone...
**[1:34:19] ---**
Hey, Sosuke, do you remember?
**[1:34:21] ---**
The summer we met and raced against each other?
**[1:34:25] ---**
I couldn't forget even if I wanted to.
**[1:34:27] ---**
Rin, our match from back then isn't over.
**[1:34:31] ---**
It looks like this summer will be hot.
**[1:34:33] ---**
Yeah, let's make it a really hot one.
**[1:34:36] ---**
Next time, *Free! -Timeless Medley- The Promise*.
**[1:34:40] ---**
The seasons change, and so do our feelings.
**[1:34:43] ---**
It's still too soon to get
to the finish line, Sosuke.

"I wanted to be like my dad."
**[00:37] ---**
I wanted to be like my old man.
**[00:48] ---**
You've gotten so big, Rin.
**[00:50] ---**
I'm sure you'll grow up to be strong.
**[00:56] ---**
Da-dy!
**[01:00] ---**
All right, now it's your turn, Gou!
**[01:03] ---**
Up you go!
**[01:06] ---**
Okay, here I go! Ready, set...
**[01:09] ---**
Wow!
**[01:11] ---**
Big biceps!
**[01:15] ---**
Read this book!
**[01:17] ---**
And then, they finally reached
the island of the demons...
**[01:21] ---**
Demons came out!
**[01:23] ---**
That's right, there are a lot, huh?
**[01:25] ---**
Wait, I'll count.
**[01:27] ---**
One... two... three... four...
**[01:29] ---**
Wow, you're amazing!
**[01:33] ---**
"I loved my dad."
**[01:33] ---**
Gou and I both loved our old man.
**[01:38] ---**
Panties!
**[01:41] ---**
These are swimsuits.
**[01:43] ---**
When Daddy was little, he competed
in a lot of swim meets and won!
**[01:51] ---**
Welcome home!
**[01:52] ---**
Thanks.
**[01:53] ---**
You won!
**[01:55] ---**
Huh?
**[01:55] ---**
We heard that you won a lot in swimming!
**[02:00] ---**
Mommy said you were really strong!
**[02:02] ---**
I want to swim, too!
**[02:08] ---**
Okay.
**[02:13] ---**
Oh, you guys are good!
**[02:15] ---**
That's the way to do it.
**[02:23] ---**
Aw, I want one, too!
**[02:26] ---**
You can have one next time.
**[02:28] ---**
I thought that I wanted
to be like my old man one day.
**[02:33] ---**
I thought that those days
would continue forever...
**[02:39] ---**
I wanted them to continue forever...
**[02:48] ---**
Well, we're not going that far out today...
**[02:51] ---**
I'll be back...
**[02:52] ---**
Be careful.
**[02:58] ---**
Oh, sorry, did I wake you?
**[03:01] ---**
Mommy, the clock...
**[03:04] ---**
Oh my, it stopped.
**[03:06] ---**
I wonder if it's broken?
**[03:11] ---**
We'll be right back after
I bring her the change of clothes.
**[03:14] ---**
It's fine. Tell Grandma
I hope she feels better soon.
**[03:18] ---**
Okay, I will.
**[03:33] ---**
Mom...?
**[03:38] ---**
Hello?
**[03:40] ---**
Oh, Matsuoka? Please listen
calmly to what I'm about to say.
**[03:44] ---**
The boat that left the fishing harbor early
this morning with Iwamura-*san* and the others
**[03:47] ---**
was shipwrecked in this
sudden change of weather.
**[03:50] ---**
We can't contact city hall, and with
these waves, we can't send rescue...
**[03:55] ---**
"My world changed in an instant."
**[03:55] ---**
My world changed suddenly.
**[04:15] ---**
"My heart..."
**[04:17] ---**
"...was broken."
***SIGN*** "I was sad. I hated it. My heart was a mess. I cried easily. I couldn't accept reality. My tears wouldn't stop."
**[04:19] ---**
I was just so, so sad.
**[04:21] ---**
My heart hurt.
**[04:26] ---**
"But--"
**[04:27] ---**
But--
**[04:37] ---**
"I wanted to support them."
**[04:37] ---**
I wanted to support them.
**[04:41] ---**
"I had to become stronger."
**[04:42] ---**
I thought that I had to be strong...
**[04:49] ---**
"Just like my dad,"
**[04:52] ---**
"I..."
**[04:54] ---**
"...had to be number one."
**[05:04] ---**
You were really fast just now.
**[05:07] ---**
Let's have a race.
**[05:11] ---**
Okay, sure.
**[05:35] ---**
"At that tournament,"
**[05:35] ---**
At that tournament,
**[05:38] ---**
"Haru was there."
**[05:38] ---**
that guy was there.
**[05:45] ---**
"Nanase Haruka" "Matsuoka Rin"
**[06:22] ---**
"Entrance Ceremony"
**[08:09] ---**
Ouch!
**[08:10] ---**
Why are you stopping all of a sudden, Haru?
**[08:13] ---**
The light...
**[08:14] ---**
Jeez, it's because you're not
looking in front of you, Asahi.
**[08:18] ---**
It can't be helped, can it?
**[08:19] ---**
My vontage is really high
right now 'cause of the meet today.
**[08:23] ---**
Don't you mean "voltage"? Stupid Asahi.
**[08:26] ---**
What?!
**[08:27] ---**
Shut up, you little--
**[08:27] ---**
Hey, wait--
**[08:29] ---**
Stop it, you two...
**[08:32] ---**
Come on. If you don't hurry up,
you'll be late for the practice meet.
**[08:36] ---**
Jeez, you guys just did
your team best a little while ago.
**[08:40] ---**
What're you doing?
**[08:43] ---**
You're perfectly in sync when
it comes to relay exchanges, though.
**[08:45] ---**
It's not by choice.
**[08:46] ---**
What did you say?!
**[08:48] ---**
I said, stop it... You'll get hurt!
**[09:17] ---**
"Club Resignation Letter"
**[09:43] ---**
"Samezuka Academy"
**[10:21] ---**
You don't look scary anymore.
**[10:24] ---**
Huh?
**[10:26] ---**
Wait a minute!
**[10:27] ---**
Why me?
**[10:29] ---**
That's what I decided.
**[10:31] ---**
But I shouldn't be captai--
**[10:33] ---**
Stop complaining.
**[10:35] ---**
Who said they would take responsibility?
**[10:37] ---**
That was...
**[10:39] ---**
I want to leave the club in your hands.
**[10:45] ---**
Matsuoka.
**[10:46] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[10:48] ---**
You're captain starting tomorrow.
**[10:54] ---**
I'm leaving this club to you.
**[10:59] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[11:02] ---**
Rin-*chan*'s captain?
**[11:03] ---**
Rin-*san* doesn't seem like the captain type...
**[11:06] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[11:07] ---**
No matter how you look at it,
his muscles are captain level!
**[11:10] ---**
His muscles?
**[11:24] ---**
"Matsuoka Family Grave"
**[11:31] ---**
I'm going to move forward
on the path I believe in.
**[11:35] ---**
"And then..."
**[11:38] ---**
So...
**[11:39] ---**
"...a new year begins."
**[11:42] ---**
*I feel... the clear water*
**[11:45] ---**
*Dive, this moment I was looking for*
**[11:47] ---**
*Our "free" that we will make here*
**[11:53] ---**
"Free! -Timeless Medley- The Promise"
**[12:03] ---**
*Breath, as I struggle*
**[12:05] ---**
*Dream, I'll never give it up*
**[12:08] ---**
*So, I like this place after all*
**[12:12] ---**
*Stay free, and before I knew it*
**[12:15] ---**
*It became irreplaceable*
**[12:18] ---**
*With our bonds of understanding each other*
**[12:23] ---**
*Distracted by the heat that split the water*
**[12:28] ---**
*Exposing the me that was about to lose*
**[12:33] ---**
*Even then, I could believe*
**[12:38] ---**
*Swimming in the "today" that I want to surpass*
**[12:43] ---**
*Toward the dyed "blue" without looking back*
**[12:49] ---**
*So that my hesitation won't catch up to me*
**[12:53] ---**
*I'll speed up, won't hesitate any more*
**[12:59] ---**
* At the end of the line*
* connecting me to my friends*
**[13:04] ---**
*I'll keep drawing a "rising free" of hope*
**[13:31] ---**
Hm...
**[13:33] ---**
All right.
**[13:35] ---**
Oh, are you looking to join?
**[13:37] ---**
Sorry, we're not opening till next month.
**[13:39] ---**
You can fill out the application form first.
**[13:41] ---**
No, I'm...
**[13:47] ---**
In order to join our club, you have to be
faster than the Samezuka standard time.
**[13:51] ---**
We'll time you now,
so swim your own specialties for us.
**[13:55] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[14:04] ---**
Captain.
**[14:05] ---**
What's wrong?
**[14:07] ---**
Ai, will you stop calling me that?
**[14:09] ---**
Huh?
**[14:10] ---**
Just call me what you usually do.
**[14:12] ---**
R-Right.
**[14:14] ---**
Anyway, we have a lot of people
who want to join this year.
**[14:18] ---**
Oh yeah, Captain Mikoshiba said there'd
be an amazing new swimmer, didn't he?
**[14:22] ---**
Could he be here right now?
**[14:24] ---**
If you're not careful, you might
lose your place to the first years.
**[14:27] ---**
R-Right!
**[14:29] ---**
Hey, Rin-*chan*!
**[14:31] ---**
Oh, what's up, Nagisa?
**[14:34] ---**
Are you free after practice today?
**[14:37] ---**
I don't really have anything planned...
**[14:39] ---**
What's up?
**[14:40] ---**
Then, do you want to do something fun with us?
**[14:43] ---**
What the heck...?
**[14:44] ---**
Wait, Nagisa-*kun*, invite him properly!
**[14:48] ---**
What? But Rin-*chan*'ll be happier this way, too!
**[14:52] ---**
Nagisa, let me talk to him.
**[14:54] ---**
Rin?
**[14:55] ---**
Hey, Haru.
**[14:56] ---**
Come to Iwatobi High School later.
**[15:00] ---**
What, you want to race again?
**[15:03] ---**
You'll know when you come.
**[15:04] ---**
Jeez, all right.
**[15:06] ---**
I'll go right after I finish
checking the practice regimen.
**[15:15] ---**
Hey, Haru. I'm here!
**[15:18] ---**
Come out!
**[15:20] ---**
Jeez...
**[15:21] ---**
He's the one who told me
to come. Where is he?
**[15:28] ---**
Huh? It's open.
**[15:34] ---**
Take him away!
**[15:36] ---**
Ki-ki!
**[15:37] ---**
Hey, wait, let go!
**[15:39] ---**
Hey! Hey! You--!
**[15:39] ---**
Don't struggle.
**[15:40] ---**
Haru-*chan*, you forgot your sentence ending!
**[15:42] ---**
Don't struggle, moge.
**[15:42] ---**
Hey, wait! What do you mean, "moge"?!
**[15:44] ---**
C'mon, let go! Huh?!
**[15:45] ---**
Oh no, don't take my big brother away!
**[15:48] ---**
What, you're here too, Gou?!
**[15:50] ---**
Rin, don't kick!
**[15:52] ---**
You guys, stop messing arou--
**[15:59] ---**
Oh.
**[16:01] ---**
When we were in elementary school,
didn't you say
**[16:05] ---**
you wanted to swim in a cherry blossom pool?
**[16:07] ---**
We originally opened the pool
to try to get some new members.
**[16:12] ---**
Ama-*chan* worked really hard to get permission.
**[16:14] ---**
But in the end, no one came.
**[16:17] ---**
But thanks to that, we were able
to see a cherry blossom pool,
**[16:20] ---**
so we wanted to show you, too.
**[16:22] ---**
You guys...
**[16:26] ---**
Rin-*san*, go ahead.
**[16:28] ---**
Huh?
**[16:29] ---**
Go ahead.
**[16:30] ---**
I guess we have to let you swim.
**[16:32] ---**
I want to, but it's still too cold to swim.
**[16:36] ---**
Come on, Big Brother! Take it off!
**[16:40] ---**
You don't have to hold back!
**[16:40] ---**
Hey!
**[16:41] ---**
Yeah, you don't have to be embarrassed.
**[16:43] ---**
I'm not embarrassed! Wait, stop--!
**[16:48] ---**
It's cold!
**[16:51] ---**
It doesn't look like it'll stop any time soon.
**[16:53] ---**
We set everything up, but now we can't swim.
**[16:57] ---**
Could you be a "rainman," Rei-*kun*?
**[17:00] ---**
No, I'm not!
**[17:01] ---**
The weather forecast
didn't say anything about rain.
**[17:08] ---**
That reminds me...
**[17:10] ---**
Have you guys thought about
what you'll do after graduation?
**[17:13] ---**
Rin, you're aiming for the world, right?
**[17:16] ---**
Yeah, I've already wasted a lot of time.
**[17:20] ---**
This summer's nationals are my last chance.
**[17:23] ---**
Scouts will be at the nationals.
**[17:26] ---**
If I do well there,
I can get closer to my dream.
**[17:37] ---**
On TV last night there was...
**[17:39] ---**
Thanks for this, Matsuoka.
**[17:42] ---**
Sure.
**[17:43] ---**
Take your seats.
**[17:45] ---**
Let me introduce a transfer student.
**[17:49] ---**
Yamazaki Sosuke,
who transferred here from Tokyo.
**[17:51] ---**
"Yamazaki"
**[17:52] ---**
"Sosuke"
**[17:53] ---**
Please welcome him to our class, everyone.
**[18:01] ---**
Sosuke!
**[18:12] ---**
Long time no see, Sosuke!
**[18:13] ---**
Yeah, it's been five years.
**[18:15] ---**
This is a weird time to be transferring schools.
**[18:19] ---**
You shouldn't be talking.
**[18:20] ---**
Winter of sixth grade, you were the one
who transferred in the middle of the year.
**[18:25] ---**
Guess what?
**[18:26] ---**
I've decided to go to Iwatobi Elementary.
**[18:29] ---**
I've found people who want
to swim a relay with me.
**[18:34] ---**
Oh yeah, that happened.
**[18:38] ---**
So? Why are you here at Samezuka?
**[18:40] ---**
I thought you were going to a high school
in Tokyo with a strong swim team.
**[18:44] ---**
Well, a lot happened.
**[18:48] ---**
What is it? Spit it out. It's not like you.
**[18:50] ---**
I just thought I'd swim at home
for my last high school season.
**[18:56] ---**
'Cause I know what I'm doing after graduation.
**[18:59] ---**
Hey, wait! Don't tell me
you're gonna quit swimming?
**[19:06] ---**
I got scouted.
**[19:08] ---**
What?
**[19:10] ---**
You little--
**[19:12] ---**
That's great!
**[19:12] ---**
Hey! Stop that, Rin!
**[19:15] ---**
Everyone, quiet down!
**[19:16] ---**
My name is Yamazaki Sosuke.
**[19:18] ---**
I'm from Tokitsu High School in Tokyo.
**[19:20] ---**
Yamazaki is ranked nationally
in the top ten for butterfly.
**[19:25] ---**
Oh, wow!
**[19:25] ---**
He can teach you a lot.
**[19:27] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[19:28] ---**
I'm your advisor, Sugimoto.
**[19:30] ---**
Matsuoka, show him the ropes around here.
**[19:33] ---**
Sure, looking forward to swimming
with you again, Sosuke.
**[19:36] ---**
Yeah, same here.
**[19:41] ---**
So this is what a nationally ranked
perfect body looks like!
**[19:46] ---**
N-Nice to meet you!
**[19:47] ---**
I'm Nitori Aiichiro, second year.
**[19:50] ---**
I look forward to swimming with you!
**[19:56] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[19:58] ---**
Oh, Tokitsu High School is super
famous for its swim team, isn't it?
**[20:02] ---**
Wow, as expected of Rin-*senpai*'s friend!
**[20:05] ---**
Does this mean you know
Nanase-*san* and the others, too?
**[20:08] ---**
I know this guy from Sano Elementary.
**[20:10] ---**
He has nothing to do with Haru.
**[20:12] ---**
I know of Nanase, though.
**[20:14] ---**
I've competed against him before.
**[20:17] ---**
He gave me the shivers when I swam with him.
**[20:21] ---**
As expected of someone you're obsessed with.
**[20:25] ---**
Wh-Wh--?
**[20:26] ---**
Jeez.
**[20:30] ---**
He's fast!
**[20:31] ---**
It's because his torso rises above
the water more than normal swimmers,
**[20:33] ---**
so he has less water resistance
and can recover faster.
**[20:36] ---**
And the flexibility of his shoulders isn't
something that happens overnight.
**[20:40] ---**
That Sosuke is really something.
**[20:43] ---**
Oh, so the amazing swimmer
Captain Mikoshiba was talking about was him?
**[20:49] ---**
Yeah, when I see him,
**[20:52] ---**
it brings back memories...
**[20:58] ---**
It's so hot!
**[20:59] ---**
I'm parched...
**[21:00] ---**
Which one do you want?
**[21:02] ---**
Ready, set... This one!
**[21:03] ---**
"Cola Guy"
**[21:06] ---**
Rock, paper, scissors!
**[21:08] ---**
One more time--
**[21:11] ---**
This is delicious!
**[21:12] ---**
Man, I definitely would've
beaten you in butterfly!
**[21:17] ---**
Oh, you wanna compete
with butterfly stroke next time?
**[21:20] ---**
Then next time, let's say...
**[21:21] ---**
The loser has to do one thing
the winner tells him to. How's that?
**[21:26] ---**
Sounds fun. Okay!
**[21:28] ---**
All right, it's a promise, then!
**[21:31] ---**
Then let's race to the pool!
**[21:33] ---**
Huh? Hey, wait!
**[21:34] ---**
No fair! Wait up, Rin!
**[21:37] ---**
Rin, I said wait up!
**[21:39] ---**
"Iwatobi SC Returns Grand Opening Event"
**[21:39] ---**
"Sprashu Fes"?
**[21:41] ---**
It's spelled wrong.
**[21:43] ---**
What will happen at the event?
**[21:46] ---**
I'm planning a bunch of fun things.
**[21:49] ---**
You guys help, too!
**[21:51] ---**
"Strawberry milk"
**[21:52] ---**
All right, let's come up with the main event!
**[21:56] ---**
Like a doggie paddle race!
**[21:58] ---**
That sounds fun!
**[21:59] ---**
How about a competition to see
who has the best butterfly form?
**[22:03] ---**
We can call it "Butterfly of Beauty."
**[22:05] ---**
A muscle contest would be nice, too!
**[22:08] ---**
Will you stop talking about muscles?!
**[22:12] ---**
What about you, Haru? Any ideas?
**[22:16] ---**
What about a relay?
**[22:18] ---**
What?!
**[22:19] ---**
Are you serious, Haru?
**[22:21] ---**
People would love that!
**[22:23] ---**
Let's do it, Haruka-*senpai*!
**[22:24] ---**
It's a popular race at tournaments, too!
**[22:27] ---**
Then we'd need someone to swim against, too.
**[22:30] ---**
Splash Fes?
**[22:32] ---**
C'mon, please!
**[22:36] ---**
Jeez, those guys are always so carefree.
**[22:41] ---**
Even though you're complaining,
you're gonna do it, right?
**[22:47] ---**
But who else will?
**[22:49] ---**
It's not an official match,
so it's hard to ask people to swim.
**[22:53] ---**
I'll do it.
**[22:55] ---**
Y-You will?
**[22:58] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[23:01] ---**
...I want to swim freestyle.
**[23:04] ---**
That's fine, but isn't your specialty butterfly?
**[23:08] ---**
I feel like swimming freestyle this time.
**[23:16] ---**
They're late.
**[23:18] ---**
B-Bad news!
**[23:20] ---**
What's wrong?
**[23:21] ---**
N-Nakagawa-*kun* got in trouble
with the teacher and can't come anymore!
**[23:26] ---**
Huh? What did he do?
**[23:29] ---**
So it's just us three, then?
**[23:31] ---**
What are we going to do?
**[23:33] ---**
We can't do a medley relay like this.
**[23:36] ---**
Isn't there anyone else
who can swim backstroke?
**[23:40] ---**
I'll swim twice.
**[23:43] ---**
It's just a race at an event, right?
**[23:45] ---**
There's no reason to follow
official competition rules.
**[23:48] ---**
I know it's not an official race,
**[23:50] ---**
but I want to have a real race.
**[23:52] ---**
Hey, Mikoshiba!
**[23:55] ---**
Mikoshiba?
**[23:56] ---**
I'm coming!
**[23:58] ---**
Hurry up!
**[24:00] ---**
Sorry, sorry.
**[24:02] ---**
There's only one Mikoshiba that I know of.
**[24:07] ---**
What a coincidence. Me too.
**[24:08] ---**
Wait a sec!
**[24:09] ---**
Whoa!
**[24:12] ---**
What are you doing?
**[24:13] ---**
Are you by any chance
Mikoshiba Seijuro's brother?
**[24:18] ---**
What? You know my brother?
**[24:21] ---**
Bingo! Captain Mikoshiba's...
**[24:23] ---**
...little brother!
**[24:25] ---**
Then you should be able
to swim backstroke, right?
**[24:27] ---**
Of course! Actually, it's what I usually swim.
**[24:30] ---**
In fact, I've won lots of
races swimming backstroke.
**[24:33] ---**
There wasn't a person back home
who didn't know of me, either.
**[24:36] ---**
By the way, my nickname is--
**[24:39] ---**
"Otter...
**[24:41] ---**
...of the Sea of Japan."
**[24:43] ---**
Otter...
**[24:45] ---**
So the amazing swimmer Captain Mikoshiba
was talking about was him?
**[24:50] ---**
Yeah, he wasn't talking about Sosuke.
**[24:52] ---**
He was talking about this guy.
**[24:54] ---**
Mikoshiba!
**[24:55] ---**
I'm coming!
**[24:57] ---**
Later! Time to pick up some girls--
**[25:00] ---**
S-Stop bugging me!
**[25:02] ---**
Swimmers aren't popular with the girls,
so I'm not joining the swim team.
**[25:04] ---**
I'm not asking you to join the swim team.
**[25:07] ---**
I know a place you'll like.
**[25:09] ---**
You want to be popular with the girls, right?
**[25:11] ---**
Yeah...
**[25:12] ---**
Let go!
**[25:14] ---**
Liar!
**[25:16] ---**
I thought we were going
somewhere with lots of cuties!
**[25:19] ---**
Shut up, there *are* a lot of cuties here. See?
**[25:21] ---**
Cute--
**[25:22] ---**
--kids.
**[25:23] ---**
I was tricked! Big Bro!
**[25:25] ---**
Stop struggling!
**[25:26] ---**
I'm going home! I'm going--
**[25:27] ---**
Man, you're so late--
**[25:29] ---**
Big Brother!
**[25:34] ---**
Hey, Gou.
**[25:35] ---**
Morning!
**[25:36] ---**
Morning.
**[25:37] ---**
Wait a sec.
**[25:39] ---**
You're...
**[25:41] ---**
...so kyute!
**[25:43] ---**
There's no mistake.
**[25:44] ---**
They're definitely brothers.
**[25:45] ---**
Rin, everyone, thanks for coming.
**[25:48] ---**
Sure.
**[25:48] ---**
No problem, I was looking forward to it, too.
**[25:51] ---**
Really? I'm glad.
**[25:53] ---**
Here are programs for you, too.
**[25:55] ---**
Oh, thank you.
**[26:07] ---**
Oh, Sosuke-*kun*!
**[26:08] ---**
Hey, how have you been, Gou?
**[26:11] ---**
Good. It's been a long time!
**[26:13] ---**
I haven't heard from you at all
since you went to a different high school.
**[26:18] ---**
You're just like my brother.
**[26:20] ---**
Sorry, sorry.
**[26:21] ---**
Man...
**[26:22] ---**
Who is he?
**[26:24] ---**
Rin's friend from his
old school, Sano Elementary.
**[26:28] ---**
He swam in the lane next to us
during that relay we swam as kids.
**[26:33] ---**
Is that so?
**[26:34] ---**
Well, see you later.
**[26:36] ---**
Yeah.
**[26:37] ---**
Okay.
**[26:38] ---**
Let's go.
**[26:40] ---**
I'm Mikoshiba Momotaro.
My hobby is looking for stag beetles.
**[26:43] ---**
My favorite saying is
"Even kappa can have trouble swimming."
**[26:44] ---**
I'm good at making fried eggs.
The first place I wash is--
**[26:48] ---**
Hurry up and *walk*.
**[26:49] ---**
Owww!
**[26:58] ---**
What do you want, Yamazaki?
**[27:01] ---**
Long time no see, Nanase.
**[27:04] ---**
I saw the relay at the regionals.
**[27:07] ---**
You were here?
**[27:08] ---**
I just happened to be.
**[27:09] ---**
But what you guys did was really outrageous.
**[27:12] ---**
You even got Rin involved.
**[27:15] ---**
What are you trying to say?
**[27:23] ---**
I wouldn't have made him do such a thing.
**[27:28] ---**
What do you mean?
**[27:35] ---**
Don't get in Rin's way anymore.
**[27:47] ---**
And now, we will have today's main event,
**[27:50] ---**
--the 200 m medley relay with
Team Dolphin versus Team Shark!
**[27:51] ---**
You can do it, Big Brother!
**[27:54] ---**
Gou-*san*!
**[27:56] ---**
I heard that he's
Captain Mikoshiba's little brother,
**[27:59] ---**
and his specialty is the backstroke.
**[28:01] ---**
Really?
**[28:02] ---**
Also, it sounds like Rin-*chan*
is swimming butterfly today.
**[28:04] ---**
W-Wait, really?
**[28:06] ---**
So Yamazaki-*kun* will be swimming freestyle.
**[28:07] ---**
On your mark--
**[28:11] ---**
Get set--
**[28:14] ---**
Go!
**[28:15] ---**
Man, look at that guy!
**[28:17] ---**
I didn't know he had such
an elegant backstroke start.
**[28:22] ---**
He's a pretty good swimmer!
**[28:24] ---**
But as expected, Makoto-*senpai* is faster.
**[28:27] ---**
He's quickly pulling ahead.
**[28:30] ---**
Ai-*chan*, you're swimming breaststroke today?
**[28:32] ---**
I won't lose.
**[28:33] ---**
I-I won't either.
**[28:40] ---**
This is the result of our training.
**[28:42] ---**
Yeah.
**[28:43] ---**
There's no way we can lose!
**[28:47] ---**
Nagisa's usually stronger in the second half.
**[28:48] ---**
We can widen our lead then.
**[28:53] ---**
It seems we have the advantage.
**[28:56] ---**
I guess I'll just have to let you go first.
**[28:59] ---**
But you'd better watch your back.
**[29:02] ---**
Be careful not to get bitten.
**[29:04] ---**
Wh--?!
**[29:06] ---**
Catch me if you can.
**[29:12] ---**
It's Rei-*chan* versus Rin-*chan*!
**[29:14] ---**
Rin's catching up to Rei little by little.
**[29:18] ---**
He's fast!
**[29:24] ---**
Rin-*senpai* will catch up soon.
**[29:26] ---**
He made up that difference in no time.
**[29:28] ---**
What is he?
**[29:29] ---**
He's Matsuoka Rin,
captain of the Samezuka swim club.
**[29:34] ---**
Who'll be first?!
**[29:38] ---**
It's Rei!
**[29:58] ---**
The difference between them
is smaller than before.
**[30:00] ---**
He's keeping up with Haru's speed.
**[30:09] ---**
Looking good, Sosuke!
**[30:10] ---**
Go!
**[30:23] ---**
Sosuke.
**[30:26] ---**
Good work.
**[30:27] ---**
That was some nice swimming.
**[30:29] ---**
Thanks for coming today.
**[30:30] ---**
Sure.
**[30:32] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[30:33] ---**
It's because I was slow...
**[30:37] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[30:38] ---**
It was pretty good for a team
that hasn't swum together before.
**[30:41] ---**
I'm not going to lose next time!
**[30:45] ---**
Hey.
**[30:47] ---**
Ow...
**[30:48] ---**
By "next time," do you mean
you're going to swim again?
**[30:52] ---**
If you want to, come join the swim club.
**[30:55] ---**
We'd be glad to have you.
**[31:06] ---**
Let's grab something to eat on the way home.
**[31:07] ---**
Sounds good!
**[31:08] ---**
Are you paying?
**[31:10] ---**
You little--
**[31:11] ---**
Oh, fine.
**[31:12] ---**
What, really?
**[31:13] ---**
Yeah.
**[31:19] ---**
Yamazaki-*senpai*'s butterfly really is amazing.
**[31:22] ---**
Yeah...
**[31:23] ---**
But Sosuke's still not going all out.
**[31:27] ---**
Captain, it's crazy!
**[31:29] ---**
That Momo's super fast when he tries his best!
**[31:33] ---**
He's breaking the club record!
**[31:35] ---**
He's amazing!
**[31:36] ---**
Maybe this guy is...
**[31:39] ---**
What're you doing?!
**[31:41] ---**
Hey, you all right?
**[31:42] ---**
Ouch!
**[31:44] ---**
You didn't see the five-meter line?
**[31:45] ---**
Well, it's just the beginning.
**[31:45] ---**
Ow... Gah, I'm still not used to this pool!
**[31:49] ---**
Dude, you're amazing!
**[31:51] ---**
Can you go again?
**[31:52] ---**
Easy!
**[31:53] ---**
I can handle it.
**[31:55] ---**
Good, that's the spirit!
**[31:56] ---**
Don't hit the wall again.
**[31:58] ---**
I have to work hard, too!
**[31:58] ---**
All right, I'm gonna time you again!
**[32:01] ---**
I definitely want to swim in the relay.
**[32:04] ---**
He won't be able to swim
in the relay with his times.
**[32:06] ---**
He doesn't have a chance.
**[32:08] ---**
Yeah, not at this rate.
**[32:11] ---**
But it's up to him how fast
he can improve on his own.
**[32:15] ---**
No amount of talent can beat hard work.
**[32:25] ---**
Cola, as usual?
**[32:27] ---**
You never change, do you?
**[32:28] ---**
It's been a while. Maybe I'll have one, too.
**[32:30] ---**
"Sold out"
**[32:31] ---**
Oh.
**[32:34] ---**
Wanna fight me for it?
**[32:35] ---**
You're on.
**[32:36] ---**
Rock, paper--
**[32:40] ---**
I haven't had one in a while,
but it's pretty good.
**[32:43] ---**
That reminds me, I lost back then, too.
**[32:45] ---**
Huh?
**[32:46] ---**
Do you remember that promise?
**[32:48] ---**
"Cola Guy" "Miss"
**[32:50] ---**
The loser has to do one thing
the winner tells him to.
**[32:54] ---**
No hard feelings, 'kay?
**[32:55] ---**
I know, I know!
**[32:57] ---**
We'll start when that second
hand gets to the top, all right?
**[33:00] ---**
Let's go--
**[33:10] ---**
Dang it, if only I hadn't missed that turn!
**[33:13] ---**
I win.
**[33:15] ---**
All right, fine. I promised.
**[33:17] ---**
I'll do whatever you say.
**[33:19] ---**
What'd you want?
**[33:21] ---**
C'mon, don't cry.
**[33:23] ---**
I'm not crying!
**[33:24] ---**
Hurry up and tell me what you want!
**[33:25] ---**
Let's see...
**[33:28] ---**
Well, I'll think about it.
**[33:31] ---**
Now that you mention it,
I made a promise, didn't I?
**[33:34] ---**
But in the end, you left for
Australia without doing anything.
**[33:39] ---**
What do you want to do about that promise?
**[33:41] ---**
I forgot. I haven't thought about it yet...
**[33:44] ---**
Hey, c'mon.
**[33:46] ---**
It can be something to look forward
to the next time we see each other.
**[33:50] ---**
See you later.
**[33:51] ---**
Yeah.
**[33:54] ---**
Promise, huh?
**[33:56] ---**
We were able to meet again like this.
**[33:58] ---**
I'll do whatever you want to celebrate.
**[34:00] ---**
Well then...
**[34:03] ---**
Let me sleep on the bottom bunk.
**[34:05] ---**
We already competed for that the other day.
**[34:08] ---**
Besides, you're going to use a promise
that lasted five years for that?
**[34:11] ---**
Then give me half of the cola.
**[34:13] ---**
Are you even bothering
to think about this seriously?
**[34:17] ---**
Well, give me a little more time to think.
**[34:23] ---**
More importantly, Rin,
**[34:25] ---**
why didn't you call
or text these past five years?
**[34:29] ---**
Did something happen in Australia?
**[34:33] ---**
The letters stopped coming, too.
**[34:35] ---**
I thought you must've hit some sort of wall,
**[34:39] ---**
so I didn't dare say anything.
**[34:44] ---**
But...
**[34:45] ---**
...now...
**[34:49] ---**
...I want to know.
**[34:55] ---**
It wasn't a big deal.
**[34:58] ---**
It was what you thought it was.
**[35:00] ---**
I went abroad and hit a wall,
**[35:02] ---**
fell down and couldn't get back up.
**[35:05] ---**
That's all it was.
**[35:06] ---**
I even thought about
quitting swimming completely.
**[35:09] ---**
But I was saved...
**[35:12] ---**
...by Haru and the others.
**[35:14] ---**
By my friends.
**[35:15] ---**
"Friends" again, huh?
**[35:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[35:19] ---**
When I swam with them, they showed
me a view I had never seen before.
**[35:23] ---**
"I want to swim again."
**[35:25] ---**
They made me think that.
**[35:27] ---**
That's why this time,
it's for those friends who helped me--
**[35:31] ---**
and for my own dream.
**[35:37] ---**
I remember now.
**[35:38] ---**
You're a swimming-obsessed idealist.
**[35:41] ---**
Oh, shut up.
**[35:49] ---**
What do you mean, "it's better
if we're not on the same team"?
**[35:53] ---**
It's because we know each other too well.
**[35:55] ---**
Sosuke cares more about theory than I do,
**[35:58] ---**
so we fought a lot.
**[36:00] ---**
In the end, we always ended up
saying whoever was fastest was right,
**[36:04] ---**
but man, we were super competitive.
**[36:08] ---**
Do you hate him?
**[36:10] ---**
Of course not.
**[36:12] ---**
In fact, even now, I think he's
the one who gets me the most.
**[36:16] ---**
But it's better if we're not
on the same team for a relay.
**[36:29] ---**
Hey, what's wrong?!
**[36:31] ---**
You need more extension! More extension!
**[36:34] ---**
Was his time before just a fluke?
**[36:36] ---**
It's the worst time in the club.
**[36:38] ---**
That's not how it was s'posed to be!
**[36:40] ---**
He's got something good there, but...
**[36:43] ---**
Even if you have something good,
there's no point if you don't use it.
**[36:51] ---**
Going running?
**[36:52] ---**
Huh? Yeah...
**[36:54] ---**
Can I join you?
**[36:56] ---**
Sure...
**[37:01] ---**
You didn't have to come with me, you know.
**[37:03] ---**
I have to run sometimes, too.
**[37:05] ---**
Otherwise my body will get soft.
**[37:07] ---**
I guess that's all right, then.
**[37:10] ---**
Huh?
**[37:14] ---**
That guy's...
**[37:17] ---**
That Ai might actually end up
swimming in the relay, you know.
**[37:22] ---**
Hey, Rin.
**[37:24] ---**
Your dream, or the relay--
**[37:26] ---**
Which is more important to you?
**[37:28] ---**
Huh?
**[37:30] ---**
They're both important, of course.
**[37:32] ---**
If you dream of competing at the world level,
**[37:35] ---**
you don't have time to be worrying
about friends or the relay.
**[37:38] ---**
You should use your time for yourself.
**[37:40] ---**
Practice like every minute,
every *second* counts.
**[37:43] ---**
If you keep worrying about the relay,
your dream will disappear.
**[37:46] ---**
You don't have time to play nice with everyone.
**[37:53] ---**
That's not true.
**[37:56] ---**
In the past, and now,
**[37:58] ---**
I've been helped and supported
by friends to get to this point.
**[38:02] ---**
I'm here because of my friends.
**[38:04] ---**
Of course, my dream is important. But--
**[38:07] ---**
Swimming with my friends
is the source of my strength.
**[38:13] ---**
So even if it makes me seem naive,
**[38:15] ---**
I'm going to go after both--
**[38:18] ---**
My dream and the relay with my friends.
**[38:21] ---**
I'm going to swim with the best team
and make them both a reality.
**[38:27] ---**
Then...
**[38:28] ---**
Count me as your friend, too.
**[38:31] ---**
What? By "friend," you mean...
**[38:33] ---**
I want to swim relay, too.
**[38:36] ---**
Sosuke.
**[38:37] ---**
But I thought you didn't swim relays...
**[38:40] ---**
You little--! What did you just say?!
**[38:42] ---**
Hey, stop that.
**[38:46] ---**
Don't talk bad about my dad anymore.
**[38:48] ---**
I didn't mean it that way.
**[38:51] ---**
Sorry.
**[38:54] ---**
What was up with your swimming today?
**[38:57] ---**
Say something.
**[39:00] ---**
I think swimming is
an individual sport after all.
**[39:04] ---**
Once you get in the water, you're alone.
**[39:06] ---**
It's not like you can swim faster
by thinking about your friends.
**[39:08] ---**
That's not true!
**[39:10] ---**
Relay is a team sport!
**[39:11] ---**
Why can't you understand that?!
**[39:14] ---**
We just have different ways of thinking.
**[39:16] ---**
You and I shouldn't be on the same team.
**[39:22] ---**
I'm going to swim for myself.
**[39:24] ---**
I just want to swim for myself
and be responsible only for myself.
**[39:31] ---**
It's true. Back then,
that was all I could think.
**[39:35] ---**
But--
**[39:37] ---**
I'm different now.
**[39:38] ---**
I feel like I might figure something out
if I swim relay with you.
**[39:42] ---**
I don't know why myself, though.
**[39:45] ---**
But I want to find that something.
**[39:48] ---**
Is that not enough?!
**[39:50] ---**
Didn't you promise to do whatever I said?
**[39:54] ---**
Rin.
**[40:00] ---**
Even if I promised, it's no good.
**[40:03] ---**
It's not something that's up to me.
**[40:05] ---**
It'll be decided by your time.
**[40:09] ---**
That's true.
**[40:10] ---**
But...
**[40:12] ---**
I accept that passion of yours.
**[40:15] ---**
I hold the records for freestyle
and butterfly at Samezuka.
**[40:19] ---**
If you really want to be in the relay,
then win your place with your skill.
**[40:23] ---**
In other words, if I beat you,
I can swim butterfly in the medley?
**[40:28] ---**
Then let's fight like we did back then.
**[40:31] ---**
Sounds good to me.
**[40:33] ---**
I'll take you on!
**[40:44] ---**
The event is butterfly.
**[40:45] ---**
The distance is 100 m.
**[40:49] ---**
Let's go!
**[41:03] ---**
This power...
**[41:05] ---**
This confident swimming...
**[41:07] ---**
This is how it should be,
**[41:09] ---**
Sosuke!
**[41:20] ---**
All right!
**[41:26] ---**
You finally showed me your all, huh?
**[41:30] ---**
It's not just your passion,
**[41:32] ---**
your skill is the real thing, too.
**[41:34] ---**
Thanks to you, I've made up my mind.
**[41:38] ---**
Thanks, Sosuke.
**[41:42] ---**
Listen up, everyone.
**[41:44] ---**
It's almost time to enter
the prefectural tournament.
**[41:46] ---**
Regarding that, I'd like to change
how we decide who enters the relay.
**[41:52] ---**
In the past, those who had
the fastest times would be chosen.
**[41:56] ---**
However, this year,
even if their times are the fastest,
**[41:58] ---**
those who want to focus on their individual
events don't have to swim in the relay.
**[42:02] ---**
We'll choose members only from those
who really want to be in the relay.
**[42:06] ---**
Of course, it should be obvious
that both desire and time are important.
**[42:11] ---**
As your captain,
what I'm saying might be wrong.
**[42:15] ---**
I know that choosing based on
time like we always have is better.
**[42:20] ---**
But I want you guys to know
how I feel about relays.
**[42:25] ---**
I want to swim a serious relay
with my friends swimming all out.
**[42:30] ---**
Even if we win,
there's no point if we can't do that.
**[42:34] ---**
That's why I want you guys
to respond to these feelings of mine.
**[42:39] ---**
Now,
**[42:40] ---**
step forward if you want
to swim a relay with your all.
**[42:43] ---**
That's the first step!
**[42:50] ---**
I'm glad it looks like I should be
better by the tournament...
**[42:58] ---**
Sosuke-*kun*...?
**[43:07] ---**
Whoa!
**[43:08] ---**
Hey, be careful.
**[43:10] ---**
Thanks.
**[43:21] ---**
Old man, are you watching?
**[43:24] ---**
I don't know what kind of karma this is,
**[43:27] ---**
but even that unathletic Gou is involved
in the world of competitive swimming now...
**[43:31] ---**
"Matsuoka Family Grave"
**[43:33] ---**
It's all because of the
opportunities you created for us.
**[43:36] ---**
Hey, old man, I'll definitely
do well at this year's tournament.
**[43:42] ---**
So, please watch over me.
**[43:45] ---**
Okay Dad, we'll be back.
**[43:48] ---**
Oh wait, Gou.
**[43:49] ---**
Hm?
**[43:50] ---**
I'll give this to you.
**[43:52] ---**
Isn't this Dad's...?
**[43:55] ---**
It might make the old man happy
if you put it up at Iwatobi SC again.
**[44:02] ---**
Okay!
**[44:03] ---**
Let's both work hard today!
**[44:06] ---**
What are *you* gonna work hard at? Let's go.
**[44:09] ---**
Hey, wait up! Big Brother!
**[44:16] ---**
Ready...
**[44:18] ---**
Go!
**[44:20] ---**
That's a good start.
**[44:21] ---**
Ready... fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
**[44:24] ---**
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Yeah, he's catching up to the lead!

**[44:51] ---**
That's the level he's at.
**[44:53] ---**
Nitori's gotten better.
**[44:55] ---**
Was it thanks to your teaching?
**[44:57] ---**
No, I didn't do anything.
**[45:00] ---**
He worked hard on his own.
**[45:03] ---**
Oh? I see.
**[45:09] ---**
Oh, good work!
**[45:11] ---**
Thanks. Um, next is Rin-*senpai*...
**[45:16] ---**

Go!

Ready... fight! Fight! Fight!

W-Wow...
**[45:51] ---**
What a race...
**[45:53] ---**
Yeah...
**[45:57] ---**
Don't lose like that, Rin.
**[46:01] ---**
Easy for you to say.
**[46:03] ---**
That Haru's time improves
every time he races against me.
**[46:08] ---**
He's so good, it's annoying.
**[46:13] ---**
Forget that, Sosuke.
Tomorrow's finally the day of the relay, isn't it?
**[46:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[46:40] ---**
Sosuke, there are more races tomorrow.
**[46:45] ---**
We need to get back and rest.
**[46:46] ---**
Yeah, sorry.
**[46:49] ---**
What were you looking at?
**[46:51] ---**
A vision of the past.
**[46:53] ---**
Huh?
**[46:57] ---**
Just kidding.

Perfect.

**[47:21] ---**
Yeah.
**[47:23] ---**
Can't decide?
**[47:24] ---**
Looking at today's individual race,
**[47:27] ---**
it's pretty clear you should
choose Mikoshiba over Uozumi.
**[47:33] ---**
I know.
**[47:37] ---**
Uozumi.
**[47:38] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[47:39] ---**
Momo.
**[47:39] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[47:41] ---**
Both of you have strong feelings for the relay.
**[47:45] ---**
You're on the same level in that respect.
**[47:47] ---**
But looking at the results
from today's individual race,
**[47:49] ---**
there's only one choice we can make as a team.
**[47:54] ---**
Momo, will you try swimming
in the medley relay?
**[47:57] ---**
Huh?
**[48:03] ---**
Momo.
**[48:03] ---**
Uh, yes?
**[48:05] ---**
I won't forgive you if you lose.
**[48:07] ---**
I'm counting on you to win in my place.
**[48:10] ---**
Yes, sir. Leave it to me, Uocchi-*senpai*!
**[48:13] ---**
Who're you calling "Uocchi," you little--
**[48:15] ---**
Ow, ow, ow... That hurts!
**[48:16] ---**
You're too cocky!
**[48:19] ---**
Tomorrow's relay will be Momo,
Iwashimizu, Sosuke, and me.
**[48:23] ---**
We'll race with this team.
**[48:24] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[48:24] ---**
Yes.
**[48:25] ---**
That's it for today's meeting.
**[48:28] ---**
You should all get some rest
to prepare for tomorrow.
**[48:31] ---**
That's all!
**[48:31] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[48:40] ---**
You're in the way.
**[48:41] ---**
Oh, s-sorry!
**[48:49] ---**
Hm?
**[48:51] ---**
My junior has surpassed me...
**[48:57] ---**
Do you want to be in the relay that badly?
**[48:59] ---**
It's only natural.
**[49:01] ---**
What is?
**[49:03] ---**
I mean, I look up to Rin-*senpai*.
**[49:09] ---**
When I first started swimming,
**[49:12] ---**
I thought a relay was just something
that four people swam together.
**[49:16] ---**
But I've realized that
it's something completely different.
**[49:20] ---**
This past year, seeing Rin-*senpai*'s
feelings toward the relay up close,
**[49:25] ---**
I wanted to swim relay with him, too.
**[49:33] ---**
Besides, this summer is
my last chance to swim with him.
**[49:41] ---**
Who decided that this summer would be the end?
**[49:45] ---**
Huh?
**[49:46] ---**
If you really wanted to swim with him
that badly, you'd be able to do it somewhere.
**[49:48] ---**
Don't limit your own possibilities like that.
**[49:53] ---**
That's probably what Rin would say.
**[50:01] ---**
Yes.
**[50:05] ---**
All right.
**[50:08] ---**
Oh, he's sleeping already?
**[50:11] ---**
Momo-*kun*, it's too early.
**[50:13] ---**
Let's see...
**[50:21] ---**
Momotaro, you have to win
and make it to the regional tournament!
**[50:24] ---**
Because I'm going to swim next time, too!
**[50:40] ---**
We haven't swum together in a relay
at a tournament since that time, huh?
**[50:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[50:47] ---**
Let's win today.
**[50:49] ---**
Yeah. If we're gonna do it, we have to win.
**[50:57] ---**
Nitori-*senpai*!
**[50:58] ---**
What's wrong? Did you forget something?
**[51:00] ---**
Um, I'm going to try really hard today!
**[51:05] ---**
See ya!
**[51:05] ---**
Huh?
**[51:08] ---**
We will now begin the men's 400 m medley relay.
**[51:14] ---**
But I was saved...
**[51:17] ---**
...by Haru and the others. By my friends.
**[51:20] ---**
Even so, I will not accept you.
**[51:25] ---**
No hard feelings no matter who wins.
**[51:28] ---**
Just make sure you make it to the regionals.
**[51:31] ---**
I don't need you to tell me that.
**[51:34] ---**
I let you have the freestyle race yesterday,
but today'll be different.
**[51:45] ---**
Ready...
**[51:47] ---**
We did it, Sosuke.
**[51:49] ---**
Yeah.
**[51:57] ---**
I heard that you got offers
from scouts, Rin-*senpai*!
**[52:01] ---**
Congratulations!
**[52:03] ---**
Thanks.
**[52:05] ---**
Watching that race,
it was only expected! It was amazing!
**[52:10] ---**
If I got offers, that means Haru did, too.
**[52:13] ---**
I can't lose to him.
**[52:14] ---**
I'll definitely beat him next time.
**[52:18] ---**
By the way, I got an offer from
the school you decided on, too.
**[52:23] ---**
It's still conditional, but we might be able to
swim on the same team after graduation, too.
**[52:30] ---**
Yeah, that'd be nice.
**[52:34] ---**
Did something happen?
**[52:36] ---**
It's nothing.
**[52:38] ---**
You've been weird since yesterday.
**[52:41] ---**
You lost momentum for a second
during the race, too, didn't you?
**[52:44] ---**
Are you in a slump?
**[52:49] ---**
Sosuke, let's go outside.
**[52:55] ---**
I said it was nothing.
**[52:59] ---**
Then let me ask,
how was it swimming in the relay?
**[53:03] ---**
You said it yourself, didn't you?
**[53:05] ---**
I feel like I might figure
something out if I swim relay with you.
**[53:09] ---**
I don't know why myself, though.
**[53:11] ---**
But I want to find that something.
**[53:15] ---**
Did you find that something?
**[53:17] ---**
I don't know.
**[53:20] ---**
What did you say?!
**[53:22] ---**
I said, I don't know!
**[53:31] ---**
I thought I said only those who really wanted
to swim relay would be added to the team.
**[53:39] ---**
And you're telling me, "I don't know"?
**[53:42] ---**
Sosuke, you weren't serious about this?
**[53:47] ---**
There's no way I wouldn't be
serious about swimming with you!
**[53:51] ---**
Then why?
**[53:53] ---**
It's because I'm serious
that I can't just fake it!
**[54:03] ---**
But I *am* sure about one thing.
**[54:06] ---**
I want to swim more.
**[54:11] ---**
This isn't enough.
**[54:17] ---**
Then swim.
**[54:19] ---**
Swim as many times
as it takes for you to find it.
**[54:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[54:51] ---**
Huh? Oh, Yamazaki-*senpai*! Why are you here?
**[54:55] ---**
Your form is a mess because you're too tired.
**[54:58] ---**
Y-You were watching?
**[55:00] ---**
You won't get better just by swimming
as much and as hard as you can.
**[55:04] ---**
You should rest a little.
**[55:06] ---**
I-I'm sorry.
**[55:08] ---**
But with my time,
I have to swim more than everyone...
**[55:14] ---**
If you're reckless, you won't even be
able to keep doing the things you *can* do.
**[55:19] ---**
I'll watch you.
**[55:20] ---**
Huh? What did you say?
**[55:23] ---**
I'm saying I'll watch you practice.
**[55:27] ---**
After you take a break, that is.
**[55:30] ---**
You want to swim with Rin, don't you?
**[55:34] ---**
Yes!
**[55:43] ---**
Is that Ai practicing by himself again today?
**[55:48] ---**
Your legs are too far apart again!
**[55:50] ---**
Sosuke...
**[55:53] ---**
That's better.
**[56:05] ---**
Hey, where are you going?
**[56:07] ---**
Out.
**[56:08] ---**
What about practice?
**[56:10] ---**
Sorry, I'm gonna skip today.
**[56:20] ---**
You can do it!
**[56:23] ---**
This can't be...
**[56:24] ---**
No way...
**[56:31] ---**
He broke Iwashimizu-*senpai*'s record!
**[56:33] ---**
Nitori-*senpai*'s amazing!
**[56:36] ---**
Wasn't it because *someone* taught him well?
**[56:39] ---**
Shut up.
**[56:41] ---**
That was amazing, Nitori-*senpai*!
**[56:43] ---**
I'm sure you'll make it into
the regional tournament relay now!
**[56:47] ---**
Nothing's been decided yet, Momo-*kun*!
**[56:49] ---**
But thanks.
**[56:50] ---**
What kind of practice did you do?
**[56:52] ---**
Do you have a secret trick or something?
**[56:54] ---**
No, Yamazaki-*senpai* just helped me practice...
**[56:59] ---**
No fair! Teach me, too!
**[57:01] ---**
It's too much work.
**[57:03] ---**
C'mon, please!
**[57:04] ---**
Ai.
**[57:05] ---**
I haven't decided whether or not
to let you swim in the tournament yet.
**[57:08] ---**
Don't let your guard down.
**[57:12] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[57:17] ---**
Nakagawa Shota.
**[57:18] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[57:19] ---**
Minami Kazuki.
**[57:20] ---**
Yup.
**[57:21] ---**
Ryono Dai.
**[57:22] ---**
Yeah!
**[57:23] ---**
These are the members
of the freestyle relay team.
**[57:26] ---**
Next is the medley relay team.
**[57:28] ---**
Backstroke, Mikoshiba Momotaro.
**[57:30] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[57:31] ---**
Breaststroke, Nitori Aiichiro.
**[57:34] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[57:35] ---**
Whoa...
**[57:36] ---**
Butterfly, Yamazaki Sosuke.
**[57:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[57:39] ---**
And I will be swimming freestyle.
**[57:42] ---**
Everyone, please rest well
to prepare for tomorrow.
**[57:45] ---**
That is all!
**[57:46] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[57:47] ---**
I look forward to swimming
with you, Nitori-*senpai*!
**[57:50] ---**
Yeah, me too!
**[57:52] ---**
Sosuke.
**[57:53] ---**
Huh?
**[57:55] ---**
Let's swim without any regrets tomorrow.
**[58:01] ---**
Yeah.
**[58:03] ---**
Stag beetle, stag beetle!
**[58:06] ---**
Ow! Big Bro!
**[58:09] ---**
Are you turning in the
order sheet for the relay?
**[58:11] ---**
Let me see.
**[58:12] ---**
Hey, give it back, Big Bro!
**[58:14] ---**
You're in it, too?
**[58:16] ---**
Of course.
**[58:17] ---**
Not even you can beat me in backstroke.
**[58:20] ---**
So this is Matsuoka's perfect team, huh?
**[58:23] ---**
Perfect team...?
**[58:26] ---**
Rin-*senpai*, Yamazaki-*senpai*, Nitori-*senpai*!
**[58:30] ---**
Let's swim with this perfect team!
**[58:32] ---**
I was just thinking you were taking a long time.
**[58:34] ---**
What are you saying out of the blue?
**[58:36] ---**
I just heard about last year's
tournament from my brother!
**[58:42] ---**
It's something that would
normally seem impossible,
**[58:45] ---**
but with everyone's power
becoming one, there was a miracle!
**[58:49] ---**
It was so cool!
**[58:50] ---**
I was really moved!
**[58:52] ---**
And then, I just couldn't contain myself...
**[58:56] ---**
I know how you feel, so just calm down.
**[58:59] ---**
Well, now that all four of us are here,
**[59:02] ---**
Let's practice relay exchanges in the sub pool.
**[59:04] ---**
Let's go quickly! Nitori-*senpai*, hurry!
**[59:07] ---**
Oh no, I'm starting to get nervous now.
**[59:10] ---**
What are you getting
nervous about practice for?
**[59:14] ---**
All right, let's go!
**[59:16] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[59:16] ---**
Yeah!
**[59:30] ---**
What's wrong, Sosuke?
**[59:32] ---**
Sorry, I messed up the timing.
**[59:34] ---**
That's not like you.
**[59:36] ---**
Yeah.
**[59:37] ---**
I'm gonna get something to drink.
**[59:43] ---**
Men's 100 m freestyle, group 5.
**[59:46] ---**
Big Brother!
**[59:48] ---**
This time, Rin-*san* and Haruka-*senpai*
are in different groups, huh?
**[59:52] ---**
Haru-*chan*'s in the next group.
**[1:00:00] ---**
Ready...
**[1:00:03] ---**
Go!
**[1:00:05] ---**
Ready... fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
**[1:00:05] ---**

**[1:00:10] ---**
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
**[1:00:13] ---**
Wow, he's already in the lead.
**[1:00:16] ---**
He's heading into the turn!
**[1:00:17] ---**
Go!
**[1:00:20] ---**
He's widening his lead even more!
**[1:00:23] ---**
No one can catch up to Rin-*chan*'s speed!
**[1:00:26] ---**
He's so fast!
***SIGN*** "Kobayashi Yuto" "Matsuoka Rin" "Wakamori Shuji"
**[1:00:30] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:00:32] ---**
Big Brother!
**[1:00:34] ---**
His time is good enough for the finals!
**[1:00:36] ---**
I mean, he'll probably make it!
**[1:00:39] ---**
The captain's amazing!
**[1:00:41] ---**
Yeah, yeah, Matsuoka!
**[1:00:42] ---**
Yes!
**[1:00:49] ---**
Men's 100 m freestyle, group 6.
**[1:00:52] ---**
Next is Nanase-*san*'s group, huh?
**[1:01:02] ---**
What is that guy doing...?
**[1:01:05] ---**
Haru!
**[1:01:08] ---**
What are you doing?
**[1:01:10] ---**
Why did you do that?!
**[1:01:11] ---**
It has nothing to do with you.
**[1:01:13] ---**
What the hell?
**[1:01:14] ---**
All the scouts are
watching this important match!
**[1:01:17] ---**
You could definitely--
**[1:01:36] ---**
Men's 100 m butterfly, group 3.

**[1:01:42] ---**

**[1:01:45] ---**
Go!
**[1:01:48] ---**
Ready... fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
**[1:01:52] ---**
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
**[1:01:54] ---**
Whoa...
***SIGN*** "Sakuratown Dolphin Club" "Sano Swimming Club" "Akisaka Swimming Club"
**[1:02:22] ---**
I'm frustrated that we lost, but it was
pretty good for our first time as a team!
**[1:02:26] ---**
We should use this frustration
to motivate us for next--
**[1:02:28] ---**
I've had enough.
**[1:02:30] ---**
Huh?
**[1:02:30] ---**
Relay is not for me.
**[1:02:33] ---**
Losing because of someone else,
**[1:02:34] ---**
or even if we win,
not winning by my own strength.
**[1:02:38] ---**
That's lame.
**[1:02:40] ---**
You little--! What did you just say?!
**[1:02:44] ---**
Of course he'd get mad
if you talked bad about relays.
**[1:02:47] ---**
The relay Rin's dad swam
is really important to him.
**[1:02:52] ---**
I know that much.
**[1:02:54] ---**
Besides, it's not like I was saying
something bad about his dad.
**[1:02:57] ---**
Then you should just swim with him for him!
**[1:03:00] ---**
Swim for him?
**[1:03:02] ---**
Huh?
**[1:03:03] ---**
Whoa...
**[1:03:05] ---**
Doing something *for* each other...
**[1:03:07] ---**
That's not how Rin and I are.
**[1:03:09] ---**
Really?
**[1:03:10] ---**
Well, you two are rivals, after all.
**[1:03:14] ---**
Rivals, huh?
**[1:03:21] ---**
I've found people who want
to swim a relay with me.
**[1:03:26] ---**
What?
**[1:03:28] ---**
What's wrong, Sosuke?
**[1:03:31] ---**
Did something happen?
**[1:03:32] ---**
Ai was worried.
**[1:03:35] ---**
It's nothing.
**[1:03:39] ---**
You were weird this morning when
we were practicing in the sub pool, too.
**[1:03:42] ---**
You disappeared suddenly...
**[1:03:43] ---**
I said, it's nothing.
**[1:03:46] ---**
You've been missing practice sometimes, too.
**[1:03:48] ---**
Where did you go?
**[1:03:51] ---**
Sosuke, don't tell me--
**[1:03:53] ---**
I said, it's nothing!
**[1:04:13] ---**
Sosuke.
**[1:04:15] ---**
It's my treat.
**[1:04:22] ---**
You hurt your shoulder, didn't you?
**[1:04:28] ---**
Let me see--
**[1:04:28] ---**
Stop it.
**[1:04:40] ---**
Since when?
**[1:04:41] ---**
This morning.
**[1:04:42] ---**
It's not as bad as it looks.
**[1:04:44] ---**
Stop pretending!
**[1:04:45] ---**
It's not like you suddenly hurt it this morning.
**[1:04:52] ---**
I can't lie to you, can I?
**[1:04:55] ---**
That's right. I hurt it about two years ago.
**[1:04:58] ---**
Because I was training too hard.
**[1:05:00] ---**
Didn't you say you were scouted?
That you'd already decided on a college?
**[1:05:04] ---**
Sorry. That was a lie.
**[1:05:07] ---**
I don't have anywhere to go.
**[1:05:10] ---**
You're going to watch the next race too, right?
**[1:05:11] ---**
--Yeah, let's get a seat closer to the front!
--Let's go somewhere else.
**[1:05:14] ---**
Rin-*senpai*! Yamazaki-*senpai*!
**[1:05:19] ---**
Nitori-*senpai*, did you see
the individual medley just now?
**[1:05:22] ---**
Everyone was super fired up!
**[1:05:24] ---**
Forget that, Momo-*kun*! Have you seen
Rin-*senpai* and Yamazaki-*senpai*?
**[1:05:28] ---**
Hm?
**[1:05:29] ---**
Why?
**[1:05:31] ---**
Why did you go so far as to lie
and transfer to Samezuka?
**[1:05:36] ---**
We're rivals.
**[1:05:37] ---**
It's better if we're not on the same team.
**[1:05:39] ---**
That's what I always thought.
**[1:05:42] ---**
So when you said you
were transferring to Iwatobi,
**[1:05:46] ---**
I watched you go without saying anything.
**[1:05:50] ---**
Even after starting middle school,
I continued to swim single-mindedly.
**[1:05:54] ---**
You were fighting all alone in Australia.
**[1:05:58] ---**
I thought I would work hard
for my own dream, too.
**[1:06:01] ---**
"National Middle School Sports Tournament"
"Swimming Competition"
**[1:06:01] ---**
After a while, the letters from you stopped.
**[1:06:05] ---**
But I kept on believing.
**[1:06:07] ---**
I believed that you would
definitely break through that wall.
**[1:06:10] ---**
After starting high school,
I became even more obsessed with training.
**[1:06:15] ---**
To make my own dream come true.
**[1:06:19] ---**
Someday, when I stood
on the stage of the world,
**[1:06:23] ---**
I knew that you would be there, too, Rin.
**[1:06:29] ---**
I continued training hard every day.
**[1:06:33] ---**
Around that time,
**[1:06:35] ---**
there was no one left who could beat me.
**[1:06:39] ---**
It was at that time...
**[1:06:41] ---**
I started feeling like something
was wrong with my shoulder.
**[1:06:44] ---**
But I ignored it and kept swimming.
**[1:06:48] ---**
But it got worse as the days went on.
**[1:06:53] ---**
I couldn't give up
because of a little thing like this.
**[1:06:56] ---**
I had to be stronger...
**[1:06:58] ---**
There was still so much I had
to do to be faster than anyone else.
**[1:07:05] ---**
And then...
**[1:07:07] ---**
In the end, I busted my shoulder.
**[1:07:12] ---**
It was the summer of my freshman year.
**[1:07:16] ---**
It's not surprising, is it?
**[1:07:20] ---**
That was when I heard from Gou.
**[1:07:22] ---**
She said you had come back.
**[1:07:24] ---**
But I didn't want to see you.
**[1:07:26] ---**
I didn't want you, of all people,
to see me at a standstill.
**[1:07:30] ---**
Rehab, injury, rehab.
**[1:07:33] ---**
I repeated that cycle day after day.
**[1:07:35] ---**
Depending on my condition,
there were races I couldn't participate in.
**[1:07:38] ---**
The guys around me overtook me one by one.
**[1:07:42] ---**
As the days passed,
I grew more and more impatient.
**[1:07:44] ---**
I was miserable.
**[1:07:48] ---**
And then one day, I realized--
**[1:07:51] ---**
My dream would never come true.
**[1:08:00] ---**
I decided to quit swimming.
**[1:08:04] ---**
Quit swimming...?
**[1:08:06] ---**
But before I quit, I went to see you once.
**[1:08:11] ---**
It was at last year's regional tournament.
**[1:08:13] ---**
You saw that race?
**[1:08:16] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:08:17] ---**
I wanted to see you one last time
because we once shared a dream.
**[1:08:22] ---**
There, I saw you struggling.
**[1:08:27] ---**
How did it come to this?
**[1:08:30] ---**
I thought you'd be able to overcome
any wall you hit and push on.
**[1:08:34] ---**
But what was wrong?
**[1:08:36] ---**
What had happened?
**[1:08:38] ---**
That's it. I quit!
**[1:08:40] ---**
I quit swimming, once and for all!
**[1:08:45] ---**
I was about to call out to you...
**[1:08:49] ---**
...but I couldn't.
**[1:08:52] ---**
But in the relay you swam
with Nanase and the others...
**[1:09:00] ---**
...you swam so fiercely,
it was as if you were a different person.
**[1:09:05] ---**
And you laughed like you were
having a lot of fun with your friends.
**[1:09:10] ---**
When that happened,
hope bloomed in my empty heart.
**[1:09:15] ---**
It was a small, but new, dream.
**[1:09:19] ---**
It was the dream to swim with you again.
**[1:09:23] ---**
At that time, I didn't know...
**[1:09:28] ---**
how important it was to swim with your friends.
**[1:09:32] ---**
I'm going to quit swimming.
**[1:09:34] ---**
But before I do,
**[1:09:38] ---**
I want to be a true friend.
**[1:09:41] ---**
With you, Rin.
**[1:09:46] ---**
Why didn't you tell me this sooner?!
**[1:09:49] ---**
Why did you hide it?
**[1:09:51] ---**
Why?!
**[1:09:56] ---**
If I told you,
**[1:09:58] ---**
you would've cried, right?
**[1:10:04] ---**
No... I wouldn't've...
**[1:10:08] ---**
You idiot...
**[1:10:16] ---**
Let's go.
**[1:10:18] ---**
It's about time for the race to start.
**[1:10:19] ---**
What are you saying?
**[1:10:20] ---**
You can't swim in that condition!
**[1:10:23] ---**
I'll be fine.
**[1:10:24] ---**
If you push yourself too hard,
you might never be able to swim again!
**[1:10:27] ---**
That's fine. That's what
I was planning from the start.
**[1:10:30] ---**
No, I won't let you do that!
**[1:10:33] ---**
We can finally be a team
with Nitori and Mikoshiba.
**[1:10:36] ---**
Let me swim.
**[1:10:39] ---**
I won't let you.
**[1:10:42] ---**
I promise you--
**[1:10:44] ---**
I will swim to the end.
**[1:10:47] ---**
I want to swim!
**[1:10:49] ---**
I want to swim the relay with you guys.
**[1:10:54] ---**
But...!
**[1:10:56] ---**
Let's swim!
**[1:10:58] ---**
Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:10:59] ---**
Yamazaki-*senpai*!
**[1:11:00] ---**
You guys...
**[1:11:01] ---**
When did you...?
**[1:11:03] ---**
From that day--
**[1:11:04] ---**
From the day I watched
the relay at regionals last year--
**[1:11:07] ---**
I also wanted to swim
a relay with you, Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:11:12] ---**
Yamazaki-*senpai* helped me,
and the day has finally come when I can!
**[1:11:16] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:11:18] ---**
To gather each person's
power to create a miracle--
**[1:11:21] ---**
Isn't that what a relay is?
**[1:11:23] ---**
Then I want to swim the
best relay with the four of us!
**[1:11:27] ---**
Let's swim!
**[1:11:28] ---**
Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:11:34] ---**
Hey, Rin.
**[1:11:36] ---**
Show us, too.
**[1:11:40] ---**
Show us a scene we've never seen before.
**[1:11:59] ---**
Now we will have the
men's 100 m medley relay finals.
**[1:12:05] ---**
Yamazaki-*san*'s shoulder...
**[1:12:08] ---**
Sosuke-*kun*?
**[1:12:16] ---**
I'm proud to be able
to swim the relay with you all.
**[1:12:20] ---**
Let's enjoy this great stage
with everything we've got!
**[1:12:22] ---**
We'll produce results with the best swimming.
**[1:12:25] ---**
Yeah, we'll show everyone
our strength as a team.
**[1:12:36] ---**
Ready...
**[1:12:39] ---**
Go!
**[1:12:42] ---**
Momo's backstroke start!
**[1:12:43] ---**
It really is fast!
**[1:12:46] ---**
He's already got a lead on Iwatobi!
**[1:12:48] ---**
Wow!
**[1:12:49] ---**
No, Iwatobi's closing in!
**[1:12:53] ---**
Momo, go!
**[1:12:59] ---**
Momo!
**[1:13:01] ---**
Who will touch first?!
**[1:13:02] ---**
It was practically the same time!
**[1:13:03] ---**
All right, that was a good exchange!
**[1:13:05] ---**
That guy's gotten better again!
**[1:13:08] ---**
But Iwatobi's fast, too!
**[1:13:11] ---**
Ai!
**[1:13:12] ---**
Nitori-*senpai*!
**[1:13:13] ---**
Fight! Fight!
**[1:13:14] ---**
Fight! Fight!
**[1:13:16] ---**
What?
**[1:13:18] ---**
That shoulder...
**[1:13:22] ---**
Look, they're head-to-head!
**[1:13:24] ---**
Yamazaki-*senpai*!
**[1:13:27] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[1:13:29] ---**
What should you guys be doing right now?!
**[1:13:32] ---**
Shouldn't you be cheering your teammates on?!
**[1:13:35] ---**
Ready... fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
**[1:13:38] ---**
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
**[1:13:40] ---**
Sosuke-*kun*'s caught up to Rei-*kun*!
**[1:13:44] ---**
He's widening his lead!
**[1:13:58] ---**
Yamazaki-*senpai*!
**[1:14:06] ---**
Sosuke!
**[1:14:27] ---**
Go!
**[1:14:28] ---**
Last spurt!
**[1:14:34] ---**
Rin!
**[1:14:47] ---**
They're speeding up quickly!
**[1:14:50] ---**
We're counting on you, Rin!
**[1:14:54] ---**
They entered the turn at the same time!
**[1:15:13] ---**
Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:15:14] ---**
Rin!
**[1:15:20] ---**
"Samezuka" "Iwatobi"
**[1:15:28] ---**
Second, huh...?
**[1:15:29] ---**
What was our time?
**[1:15:32] ---**
We made it to the nationals!
**[1:15:34] ---**
"Iwatobi" "Samezuka" "Sakagami"
**[1:15:34] ---**
Wow!
**[1:15:36] ---**
Next is the nationals!
**[1:15:38] ---**
Yay!
**[1:15:48] ---**
Good job, you guys!
**[1:15:54] ---**
That was the best!
**[1:15:56] ---**
Hey!
**[1:15:56] ---**
Jeez, Momo-*kun*.
**[1:16:01] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:16:03] ---**
Huh?
**[1:16:06] ---**
That doesn't suit you, Yamazaki-*senpai*.
**[1:16:17] ---**
Rin.
**[1:16:19] ---**
I finally found it.
**[1:16:37] ---**
Took you long enough!
**[1:16:45] ---**
Those who made it to the
national tournament from our club are:
**[1:16:48] ---**
Ryono in the 800 m freestyle,
Mizutani in the 200 m breaststroke,
**[1:16:52] ---**
Matsuoka in the 100 m freestyle,
and the medley relay.
**[1:16:55] ---**
Four races in all.
**[1:16:57] ---**
Brace yourselves for the nationals!
**[1:17:00] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:17:05] ---**
Matsuoka.
**[1:17:08] ---**
With your results from this tournament,
**[1:17:09] ---**
there have been scouts from
even more colleges asking about you.
**[1:17:13] ---**
You have your pick of teams to join.
**[1:17:17] ---**
You should narrow it down
to your top choices soon.
**[1:17:20] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[1:17:30] ---**
Hey, good practice.
**[1:17:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:17:34] ---**
By the way, there's an airmail letter for you.
**[1:17:42] ---**
Huh?
**[1:17:43] ---**
Is it good news?
**[1:17:45] ---**
Hey, Sosuke.
**[1:17:47] ---**
Hm?
**[1:17:48] ---**
What are you gonna do after you graduate?
**[1:17:51] ---**
Dunno. Maybe go back to my parents' house
and help my dad with his work?
**[1:17:57] ---**
You're really going to quit swimming...?
**[1:18:01] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:18:03] ---**
Don't make that face.
**[1:18:06] ---**
My dream has already come true.
**[1:18:15] ---**
Now...
**[1:18:18] ---**
Hey, Nanase.
**[1:18:24] ---**
Let me talk to you for a sec.
**[1:18:26] ---**
What do you want?
**[1:18:28] ---**
You stood up in the middle of the
race during the last tournament, huh?
**[1:18:32] ---**
That has nothing to do with you.
**[1:18:34] ---**
Even if it has nothing to do with me,
it has something to do with Rin.
**[1:18:37] ---**
If you come to a standstill, Rin might, too.
**[1:18:42] ---**
You said something like that to me before.
**[1:18:45] ---**
I haven't acknowledged you yet.
**[1:18:47] ---**
But you're important to Rin.
**[1:18:51] ---**
I'm sure you realize it, too.
**[1:18:52] ---**
So? What about it?
**[1:18:54] ---**
Rin's potential is pulled out
when he swims with you.
**[1:18:59] ---**
He needs you.
**[1:19:02] ---**
Why are you so hung up about Rin?
**[1:19:06] ---**
I want him to stand on the stage of the world.
**[1:19:10] ---**
Where I couldn't stand myself.
**[1:19:15] ---**
You have amazing talent.
**[1:19:18] ---**
You shouldn't keep lying around doing nothing.
**[1:19:20] ---**
You need to take a step forward!
**[1:19:25] ---**
That's all I wanted to say.
**[1:19:26] ---**
Later.
**[1:19:34] ---**
Is everyone here?
**[1:19:36] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:19:37] ---**
We will have a one-week break from club
activities starting the day after tomorrow.
**[1:19:41] ---**
The next time we meet
will be at the national tournament.
**[1:19:45] ---**
Those entering the tournament
will get there two days early
**[1:19:48] ---**
to make some final adjustments.
**[1:19:50] ---**
Until then, make sure you get enough
rest and keep in good condition.
**[1:19:55] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:20:03] ---**
Hey, Rin.
**[1:20:04] ---**
What're you staring off into space for?
**[1:20:05] ---**
Oh.
**[1:20:07] ---**
Sorry.
**[1:20:08] ---**
Rin-*senpai* and Yamazaki-*senpai*,
do you live close to each other?
**[1:20:11] ---**
Are you going home together?
**[1:20:13] ---**
Yeah...
**[1:20:14] ---**
What do you want?
**[1:20:16] ---**
I-I have something for Gou-*san*...
**[1:20:19] ---**
Will you give her Pyunsuke for me?
**[1:20:21] ---**
Pyu...
**[1:20:23] ---**
I'll release him back into the mountains.
**[1:20:26] ---**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[1:20:28] ---**
I raised Pyunsuke with love and care!
**[1:20:32] ---**
I went to harvest sap
and gave him high-protein jelly,
**[1:20:33] ---**
"One new message"
**[1:20:34] ---**
--monitored the temperature around him
and raised him very, very carefully!
**[1:20:34] ---**
"New Message"
"From: Tachibana Makoto"
**[1:20:35] ---**
Makoto?
**[1:20:38] ---**
Hey, what's up?
**[1:20:39] ---**
Hello, Rin? Sorry, there's something
I wanted to talk to you about.
**[1:20:44] ---**
You sound kinda down.
**[1:20:46] ---**
Did something happen?
**[1:20:48] ---**
Yeah, kind of...
**[1:20:53] ---**
So that's why he...
**[1:20:56] ---**
Jeez, it's not even like him.
**[1:20:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:20:59] ---**
I want Haru to see more of the world...
**[1:21:04] ---**
I think you're the only one
that can push him forward right now.
**[1:21:09] ---**
We all love Haru, so...
**[1:21:13] ---**
We want him to find his
own dream, no matter what.
**[1:21:16] ---**
Don't include me in that "we."
**[1:21:19] ---**
Okay, okay.
**[1:21:22] ---**
All right, I'll figure something out.
**[1:21:25] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:21:26] ---**
I still owe him from last year, anyway.
**[1:21:29] ---**
Speaking of which, have you decided
what you'll do after graduation yet?
**[1:21:31] ---**
Huh?
**[1:21:33] ---**
Oh, yeah...
**[1:21:35] ---**
I'm thinking of going to college in Tokyo.
**[1:21:37] ---**
I see. You found something
you wanted to do, huh?
**[1:21:40] ---**
I'm glad.
**[1:21:40] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[1:21:43] ---**
I was worried that you'd be
so concerned with Haru
**[1:21:45] ---**
that you wouldn't be able to decide
what you wanted to do yourself.
**[1:21:50] ---**
I'm fine.
**[1:21:52] ---**
But it is a little sad.
**[1:21:54] ---**
Yeah...
**[1:21:56] ---**
Hey, Makoto.
**[1:21:57] ---**
Hm?
**[1:21:58] ---**
It'd be nice if one day, we could all...
**[1:22:03] ---**
See ya.
**[1:22:04] ---**
Later. Don't forget to
bring something back for me!
**[1:22:08] ---**
Are you really going?
**[1:22:09] ---**
Hm?
**[1:22:10] ---**
Yeah, it's been a while
since I got back from Australia.
**[1:22:14] ---**
It's not just for Haru.
**[1:22:15] ---**
I want to remind myself of how I felt back then.
**[1:22:20] ---**
But ultimately, I want Haru
to look at the future...
**[1:22:26] ---**
You get a good look on your face
when you talk about that guy.
**[1:22:29] ---**
Did you say something?
**[1:22:30] ---**
Not really.
**[1:22:32] ---**
Well then...
**[1:22:34] ---**
Sosuke, what do you
want me to bring back for you?
**[1:22:37] ---**
Hmm...
**[1:22:39] ---**
Something that's not sweet.
**[1:22:40] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[1:22:42] ---**
Something that you like is fine.
**[1:22:44] ---**
Something that won't take up
too much space in your luggage.
**[1:22:46] ---**
Okay, got it. Something not sweet, huh...?
**[1:22:51] ---**
Make sure you rest your body properly, Sosuke.
**[1:22:54] ---**
I know. Take care of yourself on your trip.
**[1:22:57] ---**
I will.
**[1:22:59] ---**
Okay, Momo-*kun*. We'll use this
break to polish our exchanges!
**[1:23:05] ---**
Roger that, Ai-*senpai*!
**[1:23:07] ---**
We'll practice super hard and power up a ton!
**[1:23:10] ---**
Hey, you two.
**[1:23:12] ---**
You've got this break
right before the tournament.
**[1:23:15] ---**
Make sure you don't tire yourselves out.
**[1:23:18] ---**
But its our first nationals,
**[1:23:20] ---**
and I don't want to swim in it while
still feeling uneasy about our exchanges...
**[1:23:25] ---**
I want to finish in the best position
I can to pass it off to Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:23:31] ---**
Ai, don't slow down even right before the goal.
**[1:23:34] ---**
Keep your eyes on the goal
and relax your knees to get ready...
**[1:23:39] ---**
Ah, please wait!
**[1:23:40] ---**
I need to take notes...
**[1:23:42] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[1:23:44] ---**
At the joint practice after the break,
I'll help you personally.
**[1:23:47] ---**
During the break, make sure you keep stretching.
**[1:23:52] ---**
Thank you for your advice!
**[1:23:59] ---**
Good morning!
**[1:24:01] ---**
Mornin'.
**[1:24:01] ---**
Welcome back, Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:24:04] ---**
I'm back.
**[1:24:05] ---**
Did anything happen while we were on break?
**[1:24:07] ---**
Everyone's in top condition--
**[1:24:08] ---**
Rin-*senpai*, where's my souvenir?
**[1:24:11] ---**
So noisy... jeez...
**[1:24:11] ---**
Koala? Kangaroo? Koala? Kangaroo?
**[1:24:15] ---**
Here.
**[1:24:16] ---**
Yahoo!
**[1:24:18] ---**
It's a boomerang! Look!
**[1:24:26] ---**
--Your arms are coming up too fast.
--Huh?
**[1:24:28] ---**
Watch your center of gravity.
**[1:24:29] ---**
Sosuke-*senpai*!
**[1:24:31] ---**
Sosuke.
**[1:24:33] ---**
Sorry I'm late.
**[1:24:36] ---**
Welcome back, Rin.
**[1:24:38] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[1:24:41] ---**
Jeez...
**[1:24:42] ---**
Doing something crazy like that.
**[1:24:44] ---**
Yeah, well...
**[1:24:46] ---**
But...
**[1:24:48] ---**
It was worth it.
**[1:25:00] ---**
I see.
**[1:25:06] ---**
What's wrong?
Isn't there anyone who can beat me?
**[1:25:10] ---**
Momo!
**[1:25:10] ---**
Please give me a break...
**[1:25:14] ---**
Today, us third years will retire.
**[1:25:17] ---**
In April, you will have
new members and form a new team.
**[1:25:22] ---**
I hope that it will be the best team,
**[1:25:24] ---**
and that in the future,
there will be a new team,
**[1:25:29] ---**
and that our dream will continue on.
**[1:25:31] ---**
So you should also continue to push
forward toward that never-ending dream!
**[1:25:37] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:25:39] ---**
He's not crying today.
**[1:25:41] ---**
So, Ai!
**[1:25:42] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[1:25:44] ---**
You are the next captain.
**[1:25:48] ---**
I'm leaving it to you.
**[1:25:50] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:25:52] ---**
We're counting on you!
**[1:25:53] ---**
Captain Nitori!
**[1:26:05] ---**
Rin...?
**[1:26:07] ---**
Who decided that it wouldn't heal?
**[1:26:09] ---**
Huh?
**[1:26:10] ---**
So what if it's injured.
**[1:26:12] ---**
Don't crush your possibilities on your own.
**[1:26:16] ---**
I'm waiting.
**[1:26:19] ---**
I'm waiting for you to come back.
**[1:26:25] ---**
You would be.
**[1:26:27] ---**
Of course you would say that.
**[1:26:32] ---**
Well... I'll think about it.
**[1:26:37] ---**
Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:26:38] ---**
Let's go eat!
**[1:26:41] ---**
Okay.
**[1:26:42] ---**
Sosuke-*senpai*, please join us!
**[1:26:46] ---**
Come on, Sosuke. Let's go.
**[1:26:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:26:55] ---**
* The sky we look up at*
* the morning of our departure*
**[1:27:01] ---**
* The memories I have*
* aren't just of being sent off*
**[1:27:06] ---**
* Those brilliant days we*
* chased forever without blinking*
**[1:27:17] ---**
* Looking out over the transparent,*
* clear blue of our future*
**[1:27:22] ---**
* We'll go without hesitation*
* toward the cloudless future*
**[1:27:27] ---**
* Running through to the future,*
* being free through thick and thin*
**[1:27:32] ---**
* Living in the same time,*
* calling out to each other*
**[1:27:39] ---**
* In the boundary between*
* yesterday and tomorrow*
**[1:27:44] ---**
*I want to hold the "me" now*
**[1:27:50] ---**
*And all the feelings I had*
**[1:27:55] ---**
* The moment I held the*
* uncertain and incomplete hopes*
**[1:27:58] ---**
Jeez, Big Brother,
don't just practice all the time.
**[1:27:59] ---**
*It's too bright to see well*
**[1:28:02] ---**
Make sure you come home sometimes, too.
**[1:28:04] ---**
Mom's worried, you know.
**[1:28:05] ---**
*We are reflected in each other*
**[1:28:06] ---**
Yeah, sorry.
**[1:28:08] ---**
I'm planning on coming home
this weekend, so let her know for me.
**[1:28:10] ---**
* The dream that my words*
* reach you makes me happy*
**[1:28:12] ---**
Really?!
**[1:28:13] ---**
Then maybe I'll go home next week, too.
**[1:28:15] ---**
*When I look back, you always gave me courage*
**[1:28:19] ---**
Here, give me that.
**[1:28:20] ---**
Hm?
**[1:28:21] ---**
* The sky we look up at*
* the morning of our departure*
**[1:28:22] ---**
Let's go. I'll walk you home.
**[1:28:23] ---**
Oh, okay.
**[1:28:25] ---**
What are you smiling about?
**[1:28:26] ---**
* The memories I have*
* aren't just of being sent off*
**[1:28:28] ---**
I was just thinking that you never change.
**[1:28:30] ---**
What're you talking about?
**[1:28:32] ---**
"Our feelings..."
**[1:28:32] ---**
* Even now, it is an unforgettable*
* scene that warms my heart*
**[1:28:34] ---**
That is the training regimen for everyone.
**[1:28:37] ---**
Uozumi-*kun* and Iwashimizu-*kun*,
please check the equipment,
**[1:28:41] ---**
and Momo-*kun*, please take care
of the chlorine before practice.
**[1:28:42] ---**
* Looking out over the transparent,*
* clear blue of our future*
**[1:28:45] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:28:45] ---**
"Our bonds--"
**[1:28:48] ---**
* Our resonating hearts head*
* toward the cloudless future*
**[1:28:48] ---**
Everyone, you really worked hard this year.
**[1:28:51] ---**
From now on, I'd like
the three of you to work together
**[1:28:53] ---**
* Blowing through to the future,*
* being free through thick and thin*
**[1:28:55] ---**
to support Iwatobi Swim Club.
**[1:28:57] ---**
Yes!
**[1:28:57] ---**
Yes!
**[1:28:57] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:28:58] ---**
* Living in the same time,*
* calling out to each other*
**[1:28:58] ---**
Rei.
**[1:29:01] ---**
I'm entrusting this swim club to you, Captain.
**[1:29:05] ---**
*The time that flows through each of our days*
**[1:29:06] ---**
"Passing them on..."
**[1:29:10] ---**
*Is connected even when we're apart*
**[1:29:11] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:29:15] ---**
*There's no need to worry about us*
**[1:29:20] ---**
*Because we can overcome anything*
**[1:29:25] ---**
*Because I'm not alone, this dream's easy*
**[1:29:30] ---**
*And I can accept the me that believes*
**[1:29:36] ---**
*Facing today, feeling the wind*
**[1:29:41] ---**
*I have friends who give me strength*
**[1:29:47] ---**
* I'm still right next to those important*
* encounters that fire up my heart*
**[1:29:58] ---**
*"Free"*
**[1:30:29] ---**
*Because I'm not alone, this dream shines*
**[1:30:34] ---**
*Each of our places overlaps*
**[1:30:41] ---**
*Facing today, feeling the wind*
**[1:30:46] ---**
*With my friends who give me strength*
**[1:30:52] ---**
*The path I go down, the clouds that flow past*
**[1:30:57] ---**
*The courage that describes my free will*
**[1:31:02] ---**
* I can keep chasing these*
* brilliant days without blinking*
**[1:31:13] ---**
* Looking out over the transparent,*

**[1:31:28] ---**
* Living in the same time,*
* calling out to each other*
**[1:31:41] ---**
Oh yeah, that happened.
**[1:31:44] ---**
Yeah, we were both so stubborn.
**[1:31:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:31:51] ---**
Are you going to Australia right away?
**[1:31:53] ---**
No, I'm thinking of going back home
for a couple of weeks first.
**[1:31:57] ---**
Well, after that,
there isn't much for me to bring,
**[1:32:00] ---**
so I'm planning to leave right after.
**[1:32:02] ---**
I see. I'll write you again.
**[1:32:04] ---**
O-Okay. I'll make sure to reply this time.
**[1:32:08] ---**
Yeah, I'll be waiting.
**[1:32:10] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:32:15] ---**
Hey, Rin...
**[1:32:16] ---**
Actually, there's something that's
been bothering me for a while...
**[1:32:22] ---**
During the nationals, there was
a swimmer that caught my eye.
**[1:32:27] ---**
Oh, Kinjo from Suda-higashi, right?
**[1:32:30] ---**
He suddenly got a lot better these past six
months in the 100 and the 200.
**[1:32:34] ---**
No.
**[1:32:36] ---**
Kirishima Ikuya.
**[1:32:39] ---**
Kirishima...?
**[1:32:40] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:32:41] ---**
I completely forgot, too, but he was a
breaststroke swimmer during middle school.
**[1:32:46] ---**
He had a pretty good time back then,
**[1:32:48] ---**
but he didn't really appear in
any official races in high school.
**[1:32:53] ---**
But when I saw him at the tournament...
**[1:33:08] ---**
Individual medley...
**[1:33:09] ---**
Yeah...
**[1:33:10] ---**
There were no weaknesses
in any of his strokes...
**[1:33:13] ---**
But if that were all, he would've
just been an amazing swimmer,
**[1:33:17] ---**
and I wouldn't have been so hung up about it.
**[1:33:21] ---**
What surprised me was...
**[1:33:34] ---**
His swimming was like...
**[1:33:36] ---**
...Nanase Haruka's.
**[1:33:41] ---**
What I'll say next is just a feeling I have,
**[1:33:44] ---**
but I think he actually wants to swim freestyle.
**[1:33:47] ---**
Rin, if you're aiming for the world after this,
**[1:33:50] ---**
you won't be able to
avoid swimming against him...
**[1:33:55] ---**
Kirishima... Ikuya...
**[1:34:00] ---**
Jeez, it's our last tournament,
**[1:34:03] ---**
you could've at least attended
the award ceremony, Ikuya.
**[1:34:06] ---**
You could've seen some
of your old friends, you know.
**[1:34:09] ---**
The high school from
your hometown was in it, right?
**[1:34:11] ---**
Iwatobi, was it...?
**[1:34:14] ---**
Where are you going?
**[1:34:15] ---**
To call my brother.
**[1:34:18] ---**
You're so attached to your big brother...
**[1:34:21] ---**
Stop saying that.
**[1:34:27] ---**
He's so cute.
**[1:34:30] ---**
We're finally going to be
third years now, too, huh?
**[1:34:33] ---**
Let's both do our best.
**[1:34:34] ---**
Yeah, first we need to get new club members!
**[1:34:37] ---**
This year, we're going to show the new
students a scene they've never seen before!
**[1:34:42] ---**
What the heck's that supposed to be?
**[1:34:44] ---**
Hey, don't laugh!
**[1:34:49] ---**
Oh, long time no see!
**[1:34:51] ---**
Momotaro-*kun* and Nitori-*kun*!
**[1:34:53] ---**
We heard that you're the new captain, Ai-*chan*!
**[1:34:56] ---**
And we heard that Ryugazaki-*kun*
is the new captain for your team!
**[1:35:00] ---**
Yes, I look forward to the next year!
**[1:35:02] ---**
Let's keep up the healthy rivalry between
Samezuka and Iwatobi this year, too.
**[1:35:07] ---**
Yes, we would like that, too!
**[1:35:09] ---**
Prepare yourselves for
the next joint practice, Ai-*chan*!
**[1:35:13] ---**
I'm also looking forward to it,
Hazuki-*kun*, Ryugazaki-*kun*!
**[1:35:19] ---**
Senpai, thanks to you,
we were able to make it to regionals...
**[1:35:22] ---**
It was really amazing!
**[1:35:24] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[1:35:26] ---**
Don't cry you guys.
**[1:35:28] ---**
A new year is about to start, right?
**[1:35:30] ---**
Believe in yourselves!
**[1:35:32] ---**
You'll be fine! I'm sure you guys
will be able to get results!
**[1:35:35] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[1:35:37] ---**
Oh, excuse me.
**[1:35:42] ---**
From my sister. She says, "Don't forget we're
going back to Grandma's house next week."
**[1:35:50] ---**
It looks like I'll be able
to see an old friend, too!
***SIGN*** "Asahi! Wow, how long has it been? I was so surprised. I should be in Iwatobi around then. Will you be free, Asahi?"
**[1:35:54] ---**
Um, where's your grandma's house again?
**[1:35:58] ---**
Huh? Iwatobi-cho, of course!
**[1:36:02] ---**
"Seriously?! Then I'll be back
in May, so I'll see you then!"
**[1:36:03] ---**
Oh, Asahi, huh?
**[1:36:05] ---**
That takes me back.
**[1:36:07] ---**
I wonder if he's doing well?
**[1:36:09] ---**
It'd be nice to get everyone together again.
**[1:36:19] ---**
Wow, there are so many people...
**[1:36:22] ---**
Unimaginable in Iwatobi, huh?
**[1:36:25] ---**
Yeah...
**[1:36:27] ---**
Haru, are you all right?
**[1:36:28] ---**
I can't relax...
**[1:36:30] ---**
Yeah, me neither. I feel really restless...
**[1:36:34] ---**
But...
**[1:36:37] ---**
I'm excited, too.
**[1:36:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:36:46] ---**
Me, too.
**[1:36:48] ---**
Take your marks...
**[1:36:51] ---**
Makoto, are you ready?
**[1:36:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:36:58] ---**
"Once you hit twenty, you're ordinary"...
**[1:37:01] ---**
I wonder if I'll look back fondly
on these days someday...
**[1:37:07] ---**
But, right now...
**[1:37:18] ---**
Right now, I want to treasure
each day as it comes.
**[1:37:25] ---**
Go!
**[1:37:46] ---**
Um, the preview for next time is...
**[1:37:48] ---**
This is Haruka, moge.
**[1:37:49] ---**
I have been captured by an evil organization
**[1:37:51] ---**
and been transformed into
the monster, Iwamogera, moge.
**[1:37:53] ---**
This isn't what it's about.
**[1:37:55] ---**
In March, when Haruka-*senpai*
and the others graduate,
**[1:37:57] ---**
these four beautiful stories
will bring color to early spring.
**[1:38:00] ---**
Rei-*chan* and I will be transformed, too!
**[1:38:02] ---**
The biceps brachii muscle
versus the soleus muscle.
**[1:38:05] ---**
A duel at the Iwatobi coast, moge!
**[1:38:07] ---**
And then, the true identity of the mysterious
trapezius muscle man who appears there is...
**[1:38:11] ---**
That's not it!
**[1:38:13] ---**
Next time--
**[1:38:14] ---**
"Choice of Fate!"
**[1:38:15] ---**
"Cooling Down at a Secluded Hot Springs!"
**[1:38:16] ---**
"Butterfly of Promise!"
**[1:38:18] ---**
"Eternal Blue of Setting Off!"
**[1:38:20] ---**
We'll be bringing you these four stories.
**[1:38:22] ---**

**[00:24] ---**
Breakfast is ready, Haru.
**[00:29] ---**
Okay.
**[00:30] ---**
You're not going to eat? It'll get cold.
**[00:33] ---**
You're right.
**[00:34] ---**
Huh?
**[00:36] ---**
Haru?!
**[00:39] ---**
W-Wait...!
**[00:57] ---**
Wait!
**[00:58] ---**
Haru!
**[01:08] ---**
What kind of dream was I having?
**[01:14] ---**
Are you okay, Makoto?
**[01:22] ---**
Thanks, Haru-*chan*.
**[01:25] ---**
I told you, don't put "*chan*" after my name.
**[01:30] ---**
Let's see, first the train...
**[01:33] ---**
All right, let's go, Haru.
We've got to find a place soon...
**[01:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[01:54] ---**
*Take your marks for the race of
our never ending youths (Take your marks)*

**[03:01] ---**
*We swim*
**[03:02] ---**
*We are free, oh yeah*
**[03:13] ---**
"Choice of Fate!"
**[03:20] ---**
What, Haru hasn't decided
on a place in Tokyo yet?
**[03:24] ---**
Yeah! Mako-*chan* found a place right
after he found out he was accepted, though.
**[03:30] ---**
Even though Makoto already
has a place, he still went with him?
**[03:33] ---**
Yeah, he said he had to
get the key to his place, anyway.
**[03:39] ---**
Big Brother, about helping out
with the club invitation video--
**[03:42] ---**
Do you think you'll have time?
**[03:44] ---**
Oh, are you there, too, Gou?
**[03:46] ---**
Gou-*san*?!
**[03:47] ---**
I'm here, too.
**[03:48] ---**
We're about to go to Iwatobi SC for
the swim club's special spring practice.
**[03:52] ---**
Gou-*san*! Do you like praying
mantises better, or giant water bugs?
**[03:56] ---**
Praying mantises...?
**[03:58] ---**
Hey, Momo, what're you doing?
**[04:00] ---**
Aw, Rin-*senpai*, you're so stingy!
**[04:03] ---**
Well, I can help with your video.
**[04:06] ---**
I have a meeting with Ai, though,
so I can only help for a day.
**[04:09] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[04:11] ---**
Also, tell Haru that he just needs somewhere
to sleep, so hurry up and pick a place.
**[04:18] ---**
Hah. Even though you can't
sleep without your own pillow.
**[04:24] ---**
Ai, starting tomorrow, make Momo
do the No. 33 Training from Hell.
**[04:29] ---**
What?!
**[04:30] ---**
The No. 33 Training from
Hell that Big Brother made...?
**[04:34] ---**
N-Not that...!
**[04:35] ---**
Shut up!
**[04:37] ---**
Momo-*chan* and the others sound
like they're training really hard.
**[04:40] ---**
Yes! We can't lose, either.
**[04:43] ---**
Yeah!
**[04:43] ---**
Let's hurry up and try out the new
training regimen Gou-*chan* made for us!
**[04:48] ---**
Sounds good! I've been wanting to focus
**[04:51] ---**
--I wonder if Haruka-*senpai* and
Makoto-*senpai* have reached Tokyo yet.
--on how to increase the speed of my turn.
**[04:56] ---**
Even though we just had
our graduation ceremony,
**[05:00] ---**
it feels like we've come a really long way, huh?
**[05:04] ---**
Tokyo is not that far away.
**[05:07] ---**
True. I mean, Rin's going to Australia.
**[05:11] ---**
He's trying to go even further...
**[05:18] ---**
I need to hurry up and find a place.
**[05:21] ---**
Yeah, our bus home is tomorrow,
so you have to find one before that, huh?
**[05:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:32] ---**
Don't worry, he'll find a nice place.
**[05:36] ---**
I introduced him to a great realtor, after all!
**[05:41] ---**
You did, Coach Sasabe?
**[05:43] ---**
But Miss Amakata, I'm sure
you know a lot about Tokyo, too.
**[05:48] ---**
Huh?
**[05:48] ---**
Oh yeah, Ama-*chan*, you worked at
a swimsuit manufacturer in Tokyo, right?
**[05:53] ---**
Y-Yes, well...
**[05:56] ---**
I'm sure you have many
wonderful memories of Tokyo.
**[06:00] ---**
Y-Yes, that's right. If I were to put
my memories of Tokyo into a saying,
**[06:04] ---**
it'd be "Reality is often
different from reputation...
**[06:08] ---**
Parched city... Concrete jungle...
The city is crying...
**[06:14] ---**
Even those tears will one day
dry out in the Tokyo desert..."
**[06:18] ---**
Miss Amakata, are you all right?!
**[06:21] ---**
C-Coach Sasabe, how do
you know a realtor in Tokyo?
**[06:26] ---**
Oh, well actually it's not someone I know,
**[06:30] ---**
but an SC student's relative
who happens to be a realtor in Tokyo.
**[06:36] ---**
Good morning!
**[06:38] ---**
Hm?
**[06:39] ---**
Morning!
**[06:41] ---**
Oh, speak of the devil!
**[06:43] ---**
Hey, Hayato!
**[06:46] ---**
"Shigino Realty"
**[06:47] ---**
I wonder what kind of person Kisumi's uncle is.
**[06:51] ---**
If he's like Kisumi's twin,
then I'm going home.
**[06:53] ---**
Excuse us.
**[06:54] ---**
Welcome.
**[06:55] ---**
A twin?!
**[06:57] ---**
Makoto, we're going home.
**[06:58] ---**
Wait a minute, Haru!
**[07:01] ---**
Long time no see, Makoto, Haru!
**[07:04] ---**
The actual Kisumi? What are you doing here?
**[07:06] ---**
Yeah, I'm going home.
**[07:07] ---**
I said wait a minute!
**[07:10] ---**
Didn't I tell you?
**[07:12] ---**
I didn't hear anything.
**[07:13] ---**
I'll be going to college
in Tokyo in the spring, too,
**[07:15] ---**
so I'll be living at my uncle's house.
**[07:18] ---**
My stuff's supposed to get here today.
**[07:21] ---**
Oh, really?
**[07:22] ---**
Oh, you must be Haruka-*kun* and Makoto-*kun*!
**[07:26] ---**
I've heard about you.
**[07:28] ---**
Welcome to Tokyo, the big city
where love and lust swirl together.
**[07:31] ---**
And to Shigino Realty,
where dreams and ambition swirl together.
**[07:36] ---**
This is Uncle Katsumi.
**[07:37] ---**
H-Hello.
**[07:39] ---**
I've got places set aside
just for you, so don't worry.
**[07:42] ---**
Hey Kisumi, you show them around.
**[07:45] ---**
Okay!
**[07:53] ---**
You got your license, Kisumi?
**[07:55] ---**
You haven't yet, Makoto?
**[07:56] ---**
I was busy with entrance exams...
**[07:59] ---**
But Haru, you got yours already, right?
**[08:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:04] ---**
Even though you already
had time to get your license,
**[08:06] ---**
you put off finding a room?
That's just like you, Haru.
**[08:09] ---**
Be quiet.
**[08:10] ---**
Oh, look! We can see it now.
**[08:12] ---**
That's the first place I'm supposed to show you.
**[08:15] ---**
It's a little old, but it's a proper
apartment and close to the station.
**[08:18] ---**
It's a great deal.
**[08:20] ---**
Haru, what do you think?
**[08:27] ---**
The bathroom is cramped.
**[08:28] ---**
Well, it's a three-in-one bathroom...
**[08:30] ---**
That's the most important part for you, huh?
**[08:33] ---**
Then, what about this place?
**[08:35] ---**
It's a little far from the station,
but it's a relatively new one-bedroom
**[08:37] ---**
with a dining room and kitchen!
**[08:40] ---**
The bathroom is spacious and clean, too.
**[08:42] ---**
This place is pretty good, isn't it?
**[08:45] ---**
The kitchen's nice, too, don't you think?
**[08:47] ---**
It uses the latest
induction technology, not gas!
**[08:50] ---**
I want to grill mackerel on a wire net.
**[08:52] ---**
Huh? You can grill on this, too.
**[08:55] ---**
Then, what about this place?
**[08:58] ---**
It's so spacious and clean,
and it has a great view!
**[09:01] ---**
It gets a lot of sunlight, too, and has
an organized system kitchen with a grill!
**[09:04] ---**
And a dishwasher!
**[09:06] ---**
The bathtub has a reheating function,
and can you believe this price?
**[09:09] ---**
Wow...
**[09:11] ---**
Why is it so cheap?
**[09:14] ---**
Actually, it's a psychologically
defective property...
**[09:17] ---**
Psychologically defective...?
D-Does that mean...?
**[09:21] ---**
Yeah, in other words,
it's a stigmatized property.
**[09:25] ---**
Actually, last month, the person living here--
**[09:27] ---**
Y-You don't have to say it!
**[09:30] ---**
You can't take this place, Haru!
**[09:32] ---**
You're worrying about it too much.
**[09:33] ---**
Am not...!
**[09:34] ---**
You definitely should *not* take this place!
**[09:36] ---**
But it doesn't affect you, does it, Makoto?
**[09:38] ---**
Haru's the one who'd be living here.
**[09:40] ---**
But it'd be scary when I come visit...
**[09:45] ---**
You guys are close, as usual, huh?
**[09:47] ---**
No, just normal.
**[09:51] ---**
Man, you're pretty particular, huh, Haru?
**[09:54] ---**
He didn't tell you anything except
his price range and train line, huh?
**[09:57] ---**
Uncle Katsumi tried really hard to
find good places for you, you know.
**[10:02] ---**
I know that.
**[10:05] ---**
Kisumi, your uncle looks fun.
**[10:08] ---**
Oh, can you tell? Ever since I was little,
whenever we met, it was always...
**[10:12] ---**
Kiss me!
**[10:13] ---**
Catch me!
**[10:14] ---**
...and stuff like that.
**[10:16] ---**
"Catch me" was a pun on his name "Katsu-mi."
**[10:20] ---**
Well, I guess all that's left is this place.
**[10:23] ---**
Take a look.
**[10:26] ---**
This place has a separate
bathtub and toilet, huh?
**[10:29] ---**
And a gas stovetop in the kitchen.
**[10:30] ---**
Doesn't it sound good?
**[10:32] ---**
I won't know until I see it.
**[10:33] ---**
Yeah, right? But we can't go inside that one.
**[10:36] ---**
Huh?
**[10:37] ---**
Everything should already be moved out,
but we didn't get the key back yet...
**[10:45] ---**
It's Uncle Katsumi.
**[10:46] ---**
What, already?
**[10:48] ---**
Sorry, he said my moving truck is here already.
**[10:51] ---**
They were supposed to come in
the evening, so they're way too early.
**[10:53] ---**
I have to get back...
**[10:55] ---**
I'll pay for this,
so you two can take your time.
**[10:58] ---**
You sure?
**[11:00] ---**
Well, I'm helping out with work,
so I can expense it.
**[11:03] ---**
See ya!
**[11:07] ---**
He said he would "expense it."
**[11:09] ---**
He seems really adult, like he fits in here.
**[11:13] ---**
I wonder if we'll be able to fit in here, too...
**[11:18] ---**
Yeah...
**[11:22] ---**
Take your marks!
**[11:25] ---**
What do you want to do now?
**[11:27] ---**
I want to take a look first,
even if it's just from the outside.
**[11:29] ---**
Okay, then let's go.
**[11:31] ---**
The stuff around it is
pretty important, too, right?
**[11:36] ---**
"Huge Hit Playing Now"
**[12:16] ---**
Mako-*chan*? Is apartment-hunting going well?
**[12:18] ---**
Yeah, we're still looking.
**[12:20] ---**
How are things on your end?
**[12:22] ---**
Rin-*chan* said he'd help
with the club invitation video!
**[12:25] ---**
Really? That's great.
**[12:27] ---**
How's practice?
**[12:28] ---**
That's going well, too.
**[12:30] ---**
We were just at Iwatobi SC
trying out a new training regimen,
**[12:34] ---**
and now we're having a meeting
at the beach while eating lunch.
**[12:37] ---**
A meeting?
**[12:38] ---**
We're trying to decide what to do at the
New Student Welcome Meeting in April.
**[12:43] ---**
Remember? Last year,
we showed everyone's best muscles.
**[12:47] ---**
That time, the muscles
ended up taking center stage,
**[12:51] ---**
but this year, we're going
to try something different.
**[12:54] ---**
We're planning on showcasing
this year's trendiest muscle,
**[12:57] ---**
the latissimus dorsi,
in the move where you can see it best;
**[13:00] ---**
by performing the butterfly live on stage!
**[13:01] ---**
Isn't it impossible to
swim the butterfly on stage?
**[13:04] ---**
It is! That's why--
**[13:05] ---**
Oh, sorry! Looks like the train's here.
**[13:07] ---**
Okay, then I'll send you
the movie we shot earlier.
**[13:10] ---**
Good luck finding a place!
**[13:12] ---**
By the way, based on
the theory of finding a place--
**[13:15] ---**
Hey, Nagisa-*kun*!
**[13:16] ---**
Later, Mako-*chan*! Tell Haru-*chan* we said hi!
**[13:19] ---**
I will. Bye!
**[13:26] ---**
I see. If they do that, they'll be
able to do the butterfly on stage.
**[13:35] ---**
Jeez, what are they doing?
**[13:42] ---**
We have to do our best, too.
**[13:53] ---**
Let's see... a ten-minute
walk from here, huh...?
**[13:57] ---**
This way?
**[13:58] ---**
That looks right.
**[14:07] ---**
It's a beautiful place, don't you think, Haru?
**[14:09] ---**
Yeah...
**[14:14] ---**
Hey, you think that's the apartment building?
**[14:17] ---**
Yeah, I guess...
**[14:19] ---**
Good thing it wasn't hard to find.
**[14:21] ---**
Hey, this park looks a little like
the one by Iwatobi Elementary School.
**[14:27] ---**
Where you fell off the bars in kindergarten.
**[14:30] ---**
Yeah, that park.
**[14:38] ---**
This is the room.
**[14:39] ---**
There's no nameplate, so it looks
like they've already moved out.
**[14:44] ---**
Do you think that building's...?
**[14:47] ---**
Yeah, it looks like a pool.
**[14:50] ---**
To have a pool that close--
**[14:53] ---**
It's the perfect location for you, Haru.
**[14:56] ---**
If you choose this place,
then you can swim whenever you want.
**[15:02] ---**
I can swim at the university.
**[15:05] ---**
Hey!
**[15:07] ---**
You two were about to go into
this room earlier, weren't you?
**[15:11] ---**
No... um...
**[15:14] ---**
Are you guys Coach's friends?
**[15:18] ---**
Coach?
**[15:29] ---**
It looks like you're almost done packing.
**[15:31] ---**
Oh, Sosuke.
**[15:33] ---**
You're still not packing?
**[15:35] ---**
I plan on taking a little more time here.
**[15:39] ---**
Rin-*senpai*, you'll be going back to your
family's house before going to Australia, right?
**[15:44] ---**
Yeah, I have to be a good son once in a while.
**[15:47] ---**
I wanna go back to
Rin-*senpai*'s family's house, too!
**[15:50] ---**
Anyway, when you go home,
are you on top? Or bottom?
**[15:55] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[15:57] ---**
You know! On bunk beds,
who's on top, you or Gou-*san*?
**[16:04] ---**
We don't have bunk beds.
**[16:06] ---**
--What? How boring!
--Hey, Momo-*kun*!
**[16:08] ---**
You can't just put in books
on how to raise beetles!
**[16:13] ---**
It's a present for Gou-*san*!
**[16:15] ---**
And it's the whole five-book set!
**[16:17] ---**
Sosuke.
**[16:18] ---**
Right.
**[16:20] ---**
I'll give it to my relatives'
kid who likes insects.
**[16:24] ---**
Hey! I like them more!
**[16:29] ---**
--It's my precious book on stag beetles!
--I'm sure Gou-*san* is happy
to spend time with you, Rin-*senpai*,
**[16:33] ---**
even if it's only for a short time.
**[16:35] ---**
You're probably the most
happy about it, aren't you, Rin?
**[16:39] ---**
Shut up.
**[16:41] ---**
Stop saying stupid stuff and give us a hand.
**[16:45] ---**
Your coach lived in that apartment?
**[16:48] ---**
Yeah. He was just a coach
at the district pool, though.
**[16:52] ---**
He quit while I was out sick.
**[16:55] ---**
I wonder what his reasons were...
**[16:58] ---**
Who knows?
**[16:59] ---**
But I wanted to get better.
**[17:02] ---**
He said he'd teach me a way to swim faster...
**[17:06] ---**
Why do you want to swim faster so badly?
**[17:09] ---**
Because I don't want to lose to him...
**[17:12] ---**
"Him"...?
**[17:13] ---**
A guy who was in my class.
**[17:15] ---**
He transferred over winter break.
**[17:17] ---**
He was really fast, and in the end,
I couldn't beat him once.
**[17:21] ---**
I want to race against him again, and win!
**[17:25] ---**
We made a promise
to meet again at a swim meet!
**[17:29] ---**
To swim together again!
**[17:45] ---**
Hey, what's your name?
**[17:48] ---**
Huh? It's Kuramoto Misaki.
**[17:51] ---**
I see. I'm Tachibana Makoto. And he's--
**[17:55] ---**
Nanase Haruka.
**[17:57] ---**
Misaki-*kun*, are you going
to the swimming club now?
**[18:02] ---**
Yeah. Because I want to get faster!
**[18:08] ---**
What stroke do you swim?
**[18:10] ---**
Me? I swim freestyle!
**[18:14] ---**
I'll definitely become
number one swimming freestyle!
**[18:20] ---**
Misaki-*kun*, do you think it's
okay for us to go to the pool, too?
**[18:23] ---**
Huh?
**[18:33] ---**
He's a little rough, but he swims well.
**[18:36] ---**
He must've had a good coach teaching him.
**[18:47] ---**
Good work.
**[18:48] ---**
I think your basics are good.
**[18:49] ---**
Oh, okay...
**[18:51] ---**
But in some places, you get too tense,
and it seems like you're breaking your form.
**[18:57] ---**
Your recovery is really good,
**[18:59] ---**
but make sure you don't bend
your elbow too much underwater...
**[19:02] ---**
Like this?
**[19:03] ---**
Yeah, that's it! And then let
it naturally enter the water...
**[19:08] ---**
Who is that?
**[19:09] ---**
Isn't that swimming amazing?
**[19:19] ---**
Wow! You know him, Misaki?
**[19:22] ---**
He has a beautiful front crawl!
**[19:27] ---**
Who in the world are you guys?
**[19:31] ---**
It'd be nice to swim together some day, huh?
**[19:33] ---**
Of course, with the boy who transferred, too.
**[19:37] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:42] ---**
Big Brother!
**[19:43] ---**
Oh, you're early.
**[19:45] ---**
Yeah, I finished my shopping
earlier than expected,
**[19:49] ---**
so I bought some not-too-sweet cake.
**[19:53] ---**
We're having steak for
dinner tonight, your favorite.
**[19:57] ---**
Mom's going all out, you know.
**[20:00] ---**
She's going overboard.
**[20:01] ---**
But it's been so long.
**[20:03] ---**
And you'll be going off
to Australia again in no time,
**[20:07] ---**
so it's okay to go a
little overboard, don't you think?
**[20:09] ---**
Did you finish packing your stuff at the dorm?
**[20:12] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:14] ---**
More importantly,
did you hear anything from Haru?
**[20:17] ---**
About whether or not he found a place...?
**[20:19] ---**
If it's bothering you that much,
then you should call him yourself.
**[20:23] ---**
It's not bothering me *that* much...
**[20:27] ---**
Well, if Makoto's with him,
I'm sure he'll be fine.
**[20:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:34] ---**
It's a little sad...
**[20:36] ---**
Huh?
**[20:37] ---**
Everyone's slowly getting separated.
**[20:40] ---**
What are you talking about?
We're not getting separated.
**[20:44] ---**
We're setting off on new journeys!
**[20:47] ---**
No matter where we are,
our hearts are connected--
**[20:49] ---**
Stronger than they ever have been before.
**[20:54] ---**
What?
**[20:55] ---**
Trying to act cool.
**[20:57] ---**
Shut up.
**[21:05] ---**
Come in, Haru. This is the place I'm renting.
**[21:09] ---**
There's nothing here,
but why don't we rest a little?
**[21:12] ---**
Okay.
**[21:15] ---**
I need to get curtains, too...
**[21:17] ---**
We'll be busy...
**[21:19] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:24] ---**
Hey, Haru.
**[21:25] ---**
What is it?
**[21:27] ---**
Actually, I was getting a little worried today.
**[21:31] ---**
I wasn't sure if I could really live
in an unknown city like this.
**[21:37] ---**
But earlier, when we went to the pool
together, and I got to teach Misaki-*kun*,
**[21:40] ---**
I thought, I really do want to teach kids
more about how fun swimming is.
**[21:47] ---**
You said to me before,
"You should just be yourself." Remember?
**[21:52] ---**
So I don't know how far I can go,
**[21:55] ---**
but I'd like to do my best
in this city in my own way.
**[21:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:00] ---**
Besides, when I looked at Misaki-*kun*,
**[22:03] ---**
it reminded me of the old Rin...
**[22:06] ---**
It made me think that
I needed to work hard, too.
**[22:09] ---**
Rin wasn't that honest with himself.
**[22:12] ---**
Yeah, I think you're right.
**[22:16] ---**
"Calling: Shigino Katsumi"
**[22:18] ---**
Okay, here's the key, then.
**[22:21] ---**
It hasn't been cleaned yet, but I think
it'd be fine if you just went to take a look.
**[22:26] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[22:28] ---**
We heard that the person who used
to live there was a swimming coach.
**[22:32] ---**
What kind of person was he?
**[22:33] ---**
Hm... I think he coached as
a part-time job. He's still a student.
**[22:38] ---**
Speaking of which, when he came
to return the key, he left his phone.
**[22:42] ---**
He called earlier saying
he would come and get it right away,
**[22:45] ---**
so if you waited a little,
you could probably meet him, but...
**[22:48] ---**
What do you think? Wanna say hi?
**[22:50] ---**
No.
**[22:50] ---**
I see. Well, Kisumi's out, so do you want
to go look at the apartment by yourselves?
**[22:56] ---**
You can borrow my car.
**[23:00] ---**
So many cars, just as you'd expect from Tokyo.
**[23:03] ---**
Are you all right, Makoto?
**[23:05] ---**
Yeah, sorry. I'm just a little nervous--
**[23:06] ---**
Ah, Haru, in front, in front!
**[23:15] ---**
Haru, you're amazing...
**[23:17] ---**
I think it'll be a while
before I get used to this...
**[23:31] ---**
He said it hadn't been
cleaned yet, but it looks clean.
**[23:35] ---**
I feel like I know what the person
who used to live here was like.
**[23:38] ---**
Yeah.
**[23:42] ---**
I'll take this place.
**[23:51] ---**
Since the person living here
before was a part-time coach,
**[23:54] ---**
I wonder if that means
he used to be a swimmer?
**[23:57] ---**
Who knows?
**[24:00] ---**
Excuse me!
**[24:02] ---**
I called earlier saying I forgot my phone.
**[24:06] ---**
Oh yeah, it's this, right?
**[24:09] ---**
Oh, good. I didn't know
what I would do if I couldn't find it.
**[24:12] ---**
Well, if you need anything, feel free
to come back any time, Serizawa-*kun*.
**[24:16] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[24:33] ---**
*What happened today?*
**[24:36] ---**
*A lot of stuff happened
with everyone today, too, huh?*
**[24:38] ---**
*Did you have fun, Haru?*
**[24:39] ---**
*Yeah.*
**[24:40] ---**
*What kinds of things happened?*
**[24:44] ---**
*I forgot to buy mackerel...*
**[24:46] ---**
*I'll be back.*
**[24:47] ---**
*Hey, wait, right now?!*
**[24:48] ---**
*On really sunny days*
**[24:51] ---**
*It's the perfect day to go to the pool!*
**[24:52] ---**
*Haru-chan, Mako-chan, Rei-chan, hurry up!*
**[24:55] ---**
*And on days with pouring rain*
**[24:59] ---**
*A pool on a rainy day has its charm, too.*
**[25:03] ---**
*Laughing together a whole lot,
and then laughing again*
**[25:10] ---**
*Making new moments together and piling them up*
**[25:21] ---**
*Every day, it's not a big deal*
**[25:24] ---**
*Every day, it's so wonderful*
**[25:29] ---**
*These ordinary and pleasant bonds make us happy*
**[25:36] ---**
*Every day, celebrate today*
**[25:39] ---**
*Every day, live today*
**[25:44] ---**
*Chasing the scene we
want to see with these friends*

Big Brother!
**[02:02] ---**
Do you want help unpacking?
**[02:04] ---**
No, it's fine. I just have the stuff
I'm bringing to Australia left.
**[02:11] ---**
Steve, did you get bigger again?
**[02:18] ---**
He doesn't like me, as usual.
**[02:19] ---**
Rin, Gou, I made tea!
**[02:30] ---**
You made Japanese tea? To go with cake?
**[02:33] ---**
They go together better than you think.
**[02:35] ---**
Cake and roasted green tea.
**[02:36] ---**
That's right. It's the latest
fad in the Matsuoka house.
**[02:39] ---**
Right?
**[02:43] ---**
It's delicious!
**[02:44] ---**
Hey, can I have another?
**[02:45] ---**
What? Don't blame me
if you end up like Steve.
**[02:48] ---**
Jeez, I won't end up like him!
**[02:52] ---**
I'll have another piece after all.
**[02:54] ---**
What, really?

--You're not going to end up like Steve?

"Cooling Down at a Secluded Hot Springs!"
**[03:04] ---**
That's it for today's practice!
**[03:06] ---**
"Samezuka Academy"
**[03:06] ---**
"Samezuka Academy"
Yes, sir!
**[03:07] ---**
Tomorrow, we will have
morning practice starting at 7 a.m.
**[03:09] ---**
Don't forget to check your own training regimen.
**[03:13] ---**
That's all!
**[03:15] ---**
Good work today!
**[03:20] ---**
Ai-*senpai*, you're finally starting
to seem like a captain, huh?
**[03:24] ---**
You were really cool!
**[03:27] ---**
Not really. I'm still just the acting captain.
**[03:31] ---**
That's not true! You're the only
one who can be the next captain!
**[03:35] ---**
Thanks, Momo-*kun*. But more importantly...
**[03:38] ---**
What is it?
**[03:40] ---**
I want to give something to Rin-*senpai*
and Sosuke-*senpai* since they're graduating...
**[03:45] ---**
As their teammates who swam a relay together.
**[03:48] ---**
I see, a present, huh?
**[03:51] ---**
Like the latest cool swimsuit, or goggles!
**[03:54] ---**
Those would work, too, but I was thinking
something that was more of a surprise...
**[03:59] ---**
Then, how about that?!
**[04:00] ---**
"White Day Sale Lottery"
Then, how about that?!
**[04:01] ---**
"4th Prize: Stag Beetle Larva Raising Kit"
**[04:01] ---**
"4th Prize: Stag Beetle Larva Raising Kit"
A stag beetle larva raising kit!
**[04:03] ---**
No, Momo-*kun*, not what you want yourself,
but what Rin-*senpai* and...
**[04:08] ---**
Wait, Momo-*kun*!
**[04:10] ---**
Hello, welcome! You get one
chance for every five tickets.
**[04:15] ---**
Ai-*senpai*, do you have any tickets?
**[04:17] ---**
Huh? Oh, I have some from
when we were shopping earlier...
**[04:22] ---**
But we don't need the stag beetle thing--
**[04:23] ---**
Don't worry!
**[04:25] ---**
I'm super lucky today!
**[04:27] ---**
I got seven points on the quiz
we got back today, you know!
**[04:30] ---**
Lucky seven!
**[04:32] ---**
What was it out of?
**[04:33] ---**
A hundred points!
**[04:35] ---**
Mister, here!
**[04:35] ---**
Okay, you get one chance.
**[04:42] ---**
Stag beetle larva raising kit...!
**[04:46] ---**
"Samezuka Shopping District"
No! I didn't get it!
**[04:48] ---**
Congratulations!
**[04:51] ---**
You won 1st prize!
Two tickets to stay at a hot springs!
**[04:55] ---**
Hot springs...
**[04:56] ---**
That's it, Momo-*kun*!
**[04:58] ---**
Huh?
**[05:00] ---**
"White Day Special"
**[05:01] ---**
Hey, what should we do for White Day?
**[05:04] ---**
There's nothing *to* do...
**[05:05] ---**
...since we didn't get anything
for Valentine's Day to begin with!
**[05:16] ---**
I need to pack my stuff soon, too.
**[05:27] ---**
I'm saying that even if we didn't get anything,
**[05:29] ---**
we should march into an
all-girls' school with some presents.
**[05:32] ---**
It's the least we can do to create a
revolution as students at an all-boys' school.
**[05:37] ---**
Hey.
**[05:38] ---**
Oh, Yamazaki-*senpai*, hello.
**[05:40] ---**
Hello.
**[05:41] ---**
Did any of you put this
in my room by mistake?
**[05:45] ---**
They're cookies! Who are they from?!
**[05:47] ---**
I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
**[05:50] ---**
Oh? Let me see those.
**[05:54] ---**
It looks like there are words written on them.
**[05:54] ---**
"is"
It looks like there are words written on them.
**[05:56] ---**
Aren't those the kind that make
a message if you line them up?!
**[05:59] ---**
That's it!
**[06:00] ---**
It looks like the surprise will work.
**[06:04] ---**
When he solves the puzzle, there will be
a surprise hot springs vacation present!
**[06:08] ---**
Mecha salmon roe!
**[06:09] ---**
"The mecha salmon roe
is inside the morning crabs"...
**[06:15] ---**
"The morning crabs"?
**[06:17] ---**
No, more importantly, the mecha salmon roe!
**[06:19] ---**
You can't eat salmon roe like that.
**[06:21] ---**
What are you saying?
It's mecha salmon roe! Mecha salmon roe!
**[06:24] ---**
It doesn't matter if you can eat it or not!
**[06:27] ---**
Mecha salmon roe! What *is* that? It's so cool!
**[06:30] ---**
Momo-*kun*, this isn't
the time to be impressed.
**[06:33] ---**
You were supposed to make it obvious
what order the cookies should be in.
**[06:39] ---**
Sosuke-*senpai*!
**[06:40] ---**
I-I heard everything!
**[06:43] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[06:46] ---**
"The treasure is inside the red shark's mouth"
**[06:46] ---**
"The treasure is inside the red shark's mouth"
I'm sure this is correct!
**[06:48] ---**
"The treasure is inside
the red shark's mouth"...
**[06:52] ---**
"The treasure is inside
the red shark's mouth"?
**[06:55] ---**
These must be code cookies with the
location of the treasure written on them!
**[06:59] ---**
But what's the "red shark"?
**[07:00] ---**
Now that I think about it, there's a
guy named Akai [red] in the judo club.
**[07:03] ---**
Bring him here immediately!
**[07:05] ---**
No, wait, what prize would be in Akai's mouth?
**[07:08] ---**
Could it be mecha salmon roe?
**[07:11] ---**
Oh! Could the shark be the
statue of a shark in the courtyard?
**[07:17] ---**
Oh yeah, there was something like that.
**[07:19] ---**
But it's not red, is it?
**[07:20] ---**
Well, let's just go look and see!
**[07:24] ---**
Oh, look at that! The shark statue
is red from the sunset!
**[07:30] ---**
The treasure must be inside this shark's mouth!
**[07:32] ---**
But there's nothing inside.
**[07:39] ---**
What about that?
**[07:42] ---**
I see, the shadow!
**[07:43] ---**
As expected of Yamazaki-*senpai*!
**[07:54] ---**
"To Sosuke-*senpai* and Rin-*senpai*"
Two tickets to stay at a hot springs?
**[07:58] ---**
Congratulations!
**[08:01] ---**
What is this?
**[08:04] ---**
Ai-*senpai* and I won it in the
lottery at the shopping district.
**[08:07] ---**
Please use it!
**[08:11] ---**
Okay...
**[08:12] ---**
So that's what happened.
What do you want to do, Rin?
**[08:15] ---**
Anago Hot Springs, huh?
**[08:17] ---**
They went through all that trouble,
so why don't we go?
**[08:20] ---**
But I'd feel bad if it was just us.
**[08:24] ---**
We have tickets to stay at
Anago Hot Springs, too, you know.
**[08:27] ---**
I got some from the
newspaper seller the other day.
**[08:30] ---**
"Tickets: Anago Hot Springs"
See?
**[08:32] ---**
Why don't you go with
those underclassmen of yours?
**[08:47] ---**
We're at the hot springs! Woo!
**[08:49] ---**
Tatami mats, woo!
**[08:51] ---**
Hot springs, woo!
**[08:52] ---**
--Woo!
--Calm down, Momo.
**[08:54] ---**
This is no time to calm down!
**[08:56] ---**
Let's quickly put our
bags away and go sightseeing!
**[08:58] ---**
Oh, yeah! They have
capybaras, right? Capybaras!
**[09:01] ---**
I wanna take a picture with a capybara
and brag about it to my brother!
**[09:07] ---**
Then, shall we go?
**[09:09] ---**
Momo!
**[09:10] ---**
If there are any capybaras,
I'll take your picture for you.
**[09:12] ---**
Yahoo!
**[09:13] ---**
"Anago Hot Springs"
**[09:16] ---**
"Hot Springs Buns"
**[09:30] ---**
The hot springs buns are really good!
**[09:33] ---**
How many have you had already?
**[09:35] ---**
Momo, there's a capybara.
**[09:37] ---**
Really?!
**[09:38] ---**
"Come In" "Anago Hot Springs"
**[09:39] ---**
"Come In" "Anago Hot Springs"
Really!
**[09:41] ---**
Rin-*senpai*, take a picture for me!
**[09:44] ---**
--Come on, Ai-*senpai*, hurry! Hurry!
--What, me too?
**[09:47] ---**
Here I go. Say cheese!
**[09:51] ---**
Next is your turn,
Rin-*senpai* and Sosuke-*senpai*!
**[09:54] ---**
Come on, hurry! Hurry!
**[09:56] ---**
H-Hey, Momo.
**[09:58] ---**
Since we're here, let's just take one.
**[09:59] ---**
O-Okay.
**[10:03] ---**
Sosuke-*senpai*, you're too stiff!
**[10:05] ---**
Smile!
**[10:07] ---**
Here I go!
**[10:11] ---**
--Hey, stop that! Rin!
--Say cheese!
**[10:14] ---**
Okay, I took it!
**[10:15] ---**
Stop it!
**[10:17] ---**
Ow!
**[10:31] ---**
"Hot Springs Eggs"
**[10:41] ---**
Wow! This wooden sword is super cool!
**[10:45] ---**
Hey, Momo-*kun*...
**[10:46] ---**
--Even though we were trying to give Rin-*senpai*
and Sosuke-*senpai* an enjoyable vacation,
--Rin, what'll you buy as a souvenir?
**[10:49] ---**
--we ended up coming and having fun, too.
--Wanna take a look inside this store?
**[10:52] ---**
--Do you think there's anything else
we can give them as a present?
--Well, we don't have to rush to buy anything,
**[10:53] ---**
--Do you think there's anything else
we can give them as a present?
--but we can take a look.
**[10:55] ---**
Then, what about this
wooden sword for Rin-*senpai*?
**[10:58] ---**
I don't think Rin-*senpai* would like that...
**[11:01] ---**
What? But I got a boomerang as
a souvenir from Australia, you know.
**[11:06] ---**
A wooden sword is exactly
what he should get in return!
**[11:08] ---**
I don't know about that...
**[11:11] ---**
Then, I'll get this wooden sword for Gou-*san*.
**[11:13] ---**
I don't think she'd like it, either...
**[11:17] ---**
I-Isn't that Capybara-*kun* over there?!
**[11:21] ---**
Rin-*senpai*! Take a picture
for me like you promised!
**[11:24] ---**
Hey, wait! Wait a minute, Momo!
**[11:27] ---**
That Momo really looks
like he's having fun, huh?
**[11:32] ---**
Yes.
**[11:38] ---**
The capybara was super cute!
**[11:43] ---**
Is that...?
**[11:44] ---**
"Sofukan"
**[11:45] ---**
"Sofukan"
I've seen their faces before...
**[11:48] ---**
Sofukan High School's swim club.
**[11:52] ---**
They're champions who
are regulars at the nationals.
**[11:55] ---**
I wonder if they're having a training camp?
**[11:56] ---**
I'm gonna go closer to take a look!
**[11:58] ---**
Stop, Momo-*kun*!
**[12:05] ---**
You can't get into a fight,
so put your wooden sword away! Hurry!
**[12:08] ---**
Hey, those who've already been
called should go to the lobby in order.
**[12:13] ---**
If you stay here, you'll be in the way.
**[12:15] ---**
--Okay!
--Yes, sir!
**[12:26] ---**
Take your marks!
**[12:40] ---**
Hey, how are preparations going for filming?
**[12:43] ---**
Is there anything you need our help with?
**[12:45] ---**
Oh, Haru-*chan*, Mako-*chan*!
**[12:48] ---**
We brought some snacks.
**[12:49] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[12:51] ---**
Hey, Rin-*chan* isn't coming?
**[12:54] ---**
He's at the hot springs with
Sosuke-*kun* and the others today.
**[12:57] ---**
Hot springs? Why...?
**[13:00] ---**
He said Nitori-*kun* and Momotaro-*kun* got it for
them as a surprise present for their graduation.
**[13:05] ---**
What?! Ai-*chan*'s amazing!
**[13:08] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*,
**[13:09] ---**
we should definitely give Haruka-*senpai*
and Makoto-*senpai* a surprise present, too!
**[13:13] ---**
You shouldn't say that in front of them, though.
**[13:16] ---**
Oh, no!
**[13:19] ---**
Thanks.
**[13:20] ---**
But it'd be nice for us to do something
before Rin goes to Australia, too.
**[13:27] ---**
"Limited Edition: Mackerel Miso Cream"
**[13:28] ---**
"Limited Edition: Mackerel Miso Cream"
Surprise.
**[13:29] ---**
Oh, Iwatobi Surprise!
**[13:31] ---**
And it's the limited edition
mackerel miso cream!
**[13:34] ---**
Thank you so much!
**[13:36] ---**
Why don't we take a break, then?
**[13:38] ---**
I want strawberry milk!
**[13:40] ---**
Then I'll have barley tea.
**[13:45] ---**
It looks super delicious!
**[13:47] ---**
Then, shall we eat?
**[13:48] ---**
Yeah.
**[13:49] ---**
Oh, wait! Let me say a few words first.
**[13:56] ---**
This trip was supposed to
be a thanks from us to you two,
**[14:01] ---**
but then you invited us, as well.
Thank you very much.
**[14:05] ---**
But I really am very happy that the four
of us were able to take this trip as a team.
**[14:12] ---**
I will treasure the memories forever.
**[14:16] ---**
Jeez, you're being too formal, Ai-*senpai*!
**[14:19] ---**
Then, let me say something, too. Ai--
**[14:22] ---**
Y-Yes?
**[14:24] ---**
You're still just the acting captain right now,
but from April, you'll be the official captain.
**[14:29] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[14:30] ---**
Yes, sir! Thank you very much!
**[14:32] ---**
I will do everything I can
to fill your shoes, Rin-*senpai*!
**[14:36] ---**
Ai-*senpai*, you're still being
too formal! You're super stiff!
**[14:40] ---**
Then, let's leave the formalities aside and eat!
**[14:43] ---**
Oh, before that, let's have a toast!
**[14:47] ---**
Rin-*senpai*, Sosuke-*senpai*,
thank you so much for all your hard work!
**[14:51] ---**
Cheers!
**[14:52] ---**
"Gentlemen"
"Outdoor Baths"
**[15:06] ---**
Excuse me.
**[15:08] ---**
Where's Momo?
**[15:09] ---**
Looks like he got carried away
and ate too much.
**[15:12] ---**
He said he would come
in after he rested a little.
**[15:20] ---**
Um...
**[15:23] ---**
Where's Rin-*senpai*?
**[15:25] ---**
He said the heat was
making him dizzy, so he left first.
**[15:28] ---**
Looks like Rin was having
a little too much fun, too.
**[15:32] ---**
It looks like you're having
a good time, too. I'm glad.
**[15:38] ---**
I haven't thought about anything
but swimming for a long time...
**[15:42] ---**
It's good to relax with friends like this, too.
**[15:45] ---**
Of course we wanted to thank Rin-*senpai*,
**[15:47] ---**
but we are very grateful to you, too,
so it makes me happy to hear that.
**[15:55] ---**
Why are you being so formal again for?
**[15:57] ---**
If you give it your all, you'll be
able to swim again somewhere.
**[15:59] ---**
Don't crush your own possibilities.
**[16:02] ---**
Part of why I was able to come this far
was because of your words, Sosuke-*senpai*...
**[16:09] ---**
There are a lot of things I want
to tell everyone from now on, too.
**[16:13] ---**
So please come and visit
Samezuka even after you graduate.
**[16:18] ---**
And please teach us again.
**[16:22] ---**
Yeah, I will.
**[16:25] ---**
"Main Baths"
**[16:26] ---**
Ai-*senpai*! Leaving me behind is so mean!
**[16:29] ---**
Oh, excuse me.
**[16:32] ---**
You're that...
**[16:34] ---**
That's right! I'm a first year in Samezuka
Academy's swim club, Mikoshiba Momotaro!
**[16:39] ---**
I'm called the otter of the Sea of Japan!
**[16:43] ---**
I'm a first year in Sofukan High
School's swim club, Usami Aoba!
**[16:47] ---**
I'm called the capybara of the rapids!
**[16:51] ---**
A capybara?!
**[16:52] ---**
Look, that capybara plushie you were
holding before? I was trying to get it, too!
**[16:57] ---**
Too bad! That was the last one!
**[17:00] ---**
Then, give it to me!
**[17:02] ---**
It's first come, first served, obviously!
**[17:04] ---**
What did you say?!
**[17:07] ---**
That was a nice ba--
**[17:08] ---**
Huh?!
**[17:09] ---**
W-W-Wait, what are you doing, Momo-*kun*?!
**[17:11] ---**
Ai-*senpai*, perfect timing!
**[17:14] ---**
I'm gonna have a match with this
capybara of the rapids over a capybara!
**[17:18] ---**
Momo-*kun*!
**[17:23] ---**
What's the matter?
**[17:24] ---**
I heard Usami's gonna have
a match with that Samezuka guy!
**[17:27] ---**
Seriously?
**[17:29] ---**
A match? Don't tell me--
**[17:32] ---**
Damn it, even though I'm here...
**[17:39] ---**
Go!
**[17:40] ---**
Ah, go!
**[17:42] ---**
An opening!
**[17:44] ---**
Ooh...
**[17:45] ---**
Wow...
**[17:47] ---**
Ai-*senpai*! Woo!
**[17:49] ---**
Damn it!
**[17:51] ---**
One more time! One more!
**[17:53] ---**
--It'll turn out the same no
matter how many times we do it!
--Jeez, making me worry like that.
**[17:55] ---**
--What did you say?!
--Jeez, making me worry like that.
**[17:56] ---**
Wait, Momo-*kun*!
**[18:01] ---**
You swim, too, right?
**[18:08] ---**
Part of Samezuka's swim team?
**[18:10] ---**
I'm an alum of Sofukan.
**[18:12] ---**
It looks like one of our
club members is causing trouble.
**[18:23] ---**
Did you hurt your shoulder?
**[18:27] ---**
Yeah, I did too much reckless training.
**[18:30] ---**
So it's not that I swim--I *used to* swim.
**[18:35] ---**
One of my friends also hurt his eye
and had to stop competing for a while.
**[18:40] ---**
He's studying sports medicine
in college right now.
**[18:44] ---**
Well, to him, being involved with swimming
doesn't mean he has to compete.
**[18:52] ---**
But I want to swim with him again...
**[19:00] ---**
Sorry, it doesn't have
anything to do with you.
**[19:06] ---**
Anyway, do your best.
**[19:24] ---**
Having trouble sleeping?
**[19:26] ---**
Yeah, you too?
**[19:29] ---**
Ai-*senpai*, that capybara's mine...
**[19:34] ---**
Just how much does he like capybaras?
**[19:36] ---**
It's been a while since I had so much fun.
**[19:38] ---**
This is nice once in a while, too.
**[19:42] ---**
Yeah. I made some good memories
before leaving for Australia.
**[19:47] ---**
We have to thank Ai and Momo.
**[19:51] ---**
Hey, Sosuke.
**[19:52] ---**
What is it?
**[19:56] ---**
After this, you--
**[19:58] ---**
That isn't a capybara! It's an alpaca!
**[20:00] ---**
What the heck kind of dream is he having?!
**[20:03] ---**
Well, what were you about to say?
**[20:07] ---**
It's nothing. Let's wake up early tomorrow
and take a dip in the hot springs.
**[20:12] ---**
Night.
**[20:13] ---**
Yeah. Night...
**[20:29] ---**
That was fun!
**[20:30] ---**
Let's go somewhere together again!
**[20:32] ---**
Somewhere with alpacas next time.
**[20:34] ---**
How about just going to the zoo?
**[20:37] ---**
Oh, I just remembered!
**[20:38] ---**
I dreamed about alpacas last night!
**[20:43] ---**
Oh, a shrine?
**[20:45] ---**
Wanna make a stop?
**[20:46] ---**
Sure!
**[20:49] ---**
They're selling charms! Charms!
**[20:52] ---**
Let's buy something!
**[20:53] ---**
Wow, they have so many different ones!
**[20:57] ---**
"Injury Convalescence"
**[21:00] ---**
Sosuke-*senpai*, are you buying one?
**[21:03] ---**
No.
**[21:06] ---**
I know! Hey, Ai-*senpai*,
let's give them charms as presents!
**[21:11] ---**
Oh, that's a good idea, Momo-*kun*!
**[21:14] ---**
Then, Ai-*senpai*, you choose one for Rin-*senpai*.
**[21:17] ---**
I'll get Sosuke-*senpai*'s!
**[21:18] ---**
Okay, got it!
**[21:22] ---**
Here you go, Rin-*senpai*!
**[21:23] ---**
Oh, 'kay...
**[21:25] ---**
"Great Success"
**[21:31] ---**
Thanks, Ai.
**[21:33] ---**
Sosuke-*senpai*, this is for you!
**[21:35] ---**
Thanks.
**[21:42] ---**
"Certain Victory"
**[22:02] ---**
"Time left until filming: 4 days"
**[22:06] ---**
It doesn't feel like we're
anywhere close to finishing...
**[22:08] ---**
I want Rin-*chan* to wear this, too.
**[22:11] ---**
Rin's really busy right now.
**[22:14] ---**
Yes. He went to Samezuka today, too.
**[22:17] ---**
Oh, really?
**[22:19] ---**
Didn't he move out of the dorms already?
**[22:21] ---**
Apparently, he's helping Sosuke-*kun* move.
**[22:26] ---**
"Life of a Mouse 2"
**[22:28] ---**
You got a lot of stuff, huh?
**[22:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[22:31] ---**
Oh? This is...
**[22:33] ---**
A mecha salmon roe from Uozumi.
**[22:35] ---**
What's that?
**[22:38] ---**
It transforms into a salmon.
**[22:39] ---**
Huh.
**[22:48] ---**
"Certain Victory"
**[22:54] ---**
Hm? What's the matter, Sosuke?
**[22:57] ---**
Nothing...
**[23:01] ---**
I guess I have to win...
**[23:17] ---**
*What happened today?*
**[23:20] ---**
*They were really into it
today, too, huh? I can't lose.*
**[23:24] ---**
*What kinds of things happened?*
**[23:28] ---**
*You'd get really into it
either way, wouldn't you?*
**[23:30] ---**
*Shut up.*
**[23:32] ---**
*On really sunny days*
**[23:34] ---**
*I-I'll do my best today, too!*
**[23:39] ---**
*And on days with pouring rain*
**[23:43] ---**
*Senpai, how was I? Was I good?*
**[23:47] ---**
*Laughing together a whole lot,
and then laughing again*
**[23:54] ---**
*Making new moments together and piling them up*
**[24:05] ---**
*Every day, it's not a big deal*
**[24:08] ---**
*Every day, it's so wonderful*
**[24:13] ---**
*These ordinary and pleasant bonds make us happy*
**[24:20] ---**
*Every day, celebrate today*
**[24:23] ---**
*Every day, live today*

want to see with these friends*

This is the legendary magic lamp!

"Come, new members! Beginners welcome!"
**[01:21] ---**
No one's coming.

I wonder why...
**[01:25] ---**
Why is it...?!
**[01:29] ---**
H-Huh?

What an ominous dream...
**[01:37] ---**
No, Rei-*chan*... That's not Iwatobi

Nagisa-*kun*, Haruka-*senpai* and
the others will be coming for us soon.
**[01:50] ---**
Good morning, Makoto-*senpai*.
**[01:53] ---**
Morning, Rei.
**[01:54] ---**
We'll be at the apartment
building soon. Are you guys ready?
**[01:59] ---**
Yes, perfectly!

"Butterfly of Promise!"
**[03:42] ---**
Which car do you want this in?
**[03:45] ---**
Please put it in Miss Amakata's car.
**[03:47] ---**
Okay.
**[03:49] ---**
Is this one okay in Rin's car?
**[03:51] ---**
Yes.
**[03:52] ---**
Ooh! This is Rin-*chan*'s car!
**[03:56] ---**
It's not mine, though. It's my mom's.
**[03:58] ---**
It's so cool!
**[04:00] ---**
Rin-*san* and Miss Amakata, thank you
for coming so early in the morning.
**[04:05] ---**
It's fine for me. I'm your advisor, after all.
**[04:08] ---**
Besides, there is also the saying,
**[04:11] ---**
"If I hear of the true path in the morning,
then I am content even to die that evening."
**[04:15] ---**
Oh! It sounds amazing!
**[04:24] ---**
Rin-*chan*, you're such a good driver!
**[04:27] ---**
I'm better.
**[04:30] ---**
What are you saying?
My technique is definitely better.
**[04:35] ---**
No, mine is.
**[04:36] ---**
Now, now. I think you're both good drivers.
**[04:39] ---**
Haru, isn't it great that you got
to drive in Tokyo the other day?
**[04:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:44] ---**
There were more cars than there
are here, but it wasn't a big deal.
**[04:48] ---**
Wait, Haru...
**[04:50] ---**
What *about* Tokyo?
**[04:52] ---**
I'll be driving in Sydney starting next month!
**[04:59] ---**
Oh, Matsuoka-*kun*'s a pretty good driver.
**[05:06] ---**
Hey! This is a rental, so please be careful!
**[05:10] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[05:12] ---**
Big Brother might be better
at driving than Miss Amakata...
**[05:23] ---**
"Black Swan Sand Dunes Parking"
**[05:28] ---**
Oh, wow, you guys did a good job making these.
**[05:32] ---**
'Cause we're showing it on stage
for the new student welcome.
**[05:36] ---**
You're really going all out, huh?
**[05:39] ---**
What's the matter, Rei?
**[05:41] ---**
Huh?
**[05:42] ---**
Nothing...
**[05:43] ---**
Could you be worried
about your dream, Rei-*chan*?
**[05:47] ---**
Dream?
**[05:48] ---**
Yeah, he said he dreamed
that we had zero new members.
**[05:52] ---**
Rei-*kun*, are you feeling pressure from that--
**[05:54] ---**
D-Don't be ridiculous!
**[05:56] ---**
I wouldn't let anything as
illogical as a dream bother me!
**[06:11] ---**
And now, let us go over the club introduction
performance for the Iwatobi Swim Club.
**[06:19] ---**
First, we start with Rei-*chan*
doing air swimming on stage.
**[06:24] ---**
And then a huge wave splashes in...
**[06:29] ---**
...and Rei-*chan* ends up in
the world of Arabian Nights!
**[06:32] ---**
That's the movie we'll be filming today.
**[06:35] ---**
That's a pretty elaborate performance.
**[06:38] ---**
It's a bold and aggressive production
with live stage parts and video!
**[06:44] ---**
And then,
**[06:46] ---**
I play a mysterious peddler
who guides Rei in the desert.
**[06:49] ---**
I'm an evil king who is after the lamp.
**[06:53] ---**
And I am the genie of the lamp!
**[06:57] ---**
We were originally planning
to ask Coach Sasabe to play that part,
**[07:01] ---**
but we weren't able to schedule it.
**[07:03] ---**
Nagisa's still too young to exude
the dignity needed for a genie.
**[07:08] ---**
That's not true!
**[07:10] ---**
Once I put on the fake mustache...
**[07:12] ---**
Look!
**[07:13] ---**
Really?
**[07:14] ---**
Hey, Rin-*chan*, why don't you make a special
appearance as Mako-*chan*'s henchman?
**[07:19] ---**
We have a costume ready, too!
**[07:21] ---**
I'm not gonna be in it.
**[07:22] ---**
It'd be bad if I were seen
in an Iwatobi invitation video.
**[07:26] ---**
Aww...
**[07:28] ---**
I only said I would help you carry stuff.
**[07:31] ---**
You're leaving already?
**[07:34] ---**
I have a meeting with Ai after this
to talk about him taking over as captain.
**[07:38] ---**
Besides, once you finish filming,
the trains and buses will be running,
**[07:42] ---**
so you'll be fine, right?
**[07:44] ---**
Thanks for today, Rin.
**[07:46] ---**
You were a big help. Thank you very much!
**[07:49] ---**
Sure.
**[07:51] ---**
Rin-*chan*!
**[07:54] ---**
Come and visit again!
**[07:59] ---**
You guys look good in those clothes.
**[08:01] ---**
See ya! Do your best!
**[08:09] ---**
Then, here we go!
**[08:11] ---**
Ready, action!
**[08:17] ---**
Wh-Where am I...?
**[08:21] ---**
Was my butterfly stroke so magnificent
that I flew to a strange world?!
**[08:30] ---**
Okay, cut!
**[08:32] ---**
Rei's good.
**[08:34] ---**
It was perfect.
**[08:35] ---**
Rei-*kun*'s amazing!
**[08:37] ---**
The way he's going after it,
it's hard to believe it's his first time.
**[08:40] ---**
But...
**[08:41] ---**
...the lighting on his skin isn't great.
**[08:44] ---**
Huh?
**[08:45] ---**
Here, he needs more suntan oil.
**[08:48] ---**
The silver reflector needs to hit him more, too!
**[08:50] ---**
Huh? Silver reflector?
**[08:53] ---**
Um... I mean, that
round reflector over there...?
**[08:58] ---**
As expected of Miss Amakata!
**[09:00] ---**
You even studied the technical terms
to help with our filming this time, huh?
**[09:05] ---**
Yeah...
**[09:07] ---**
Then, we must also meet those expectations
**[09:10] ---**
and put our most perfect acting
in front of the camera!
**[09:13] ---**
Okay, then I'll put suntan oil on for you!
**[09:17] ---**
It's okay, I did it myself earlier!
**[09:19] ---**
That much isn't beautiful!
**[09:21] ---**
--Okay, okay, stay still!
Come on, come on, come on!
--Hey, Nagisa-*kun*, stop!
**[09:24] ---**
--Rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub, rub!
--Hey, Nagisa-*kun*, stop!
**[09:29] ---**
Next is the scene where I, Ryugazaki Rei,
wander the world of Arabian Nights
**[09:35] ---**
and meet the mysterious
peddler, Haruka-*senpai*.
**[09:39] ---**
Inside the mysterious bundles
the mysterious peddler has
**[09:43] ---**
--Okay, Haruka-*senpai*,
we don't have much time, so let's hurry!
--is a magic lamp with a genie.
**[09:47] ---**
Okay.
**[09:49] ---**
Ready, start!
**[09:51] ---**
Who are you...?
**[09:53] ---**
I am a mysterious peddler.
**[09:56] ---**
I carry mysterious bundles.
**[09:58] ---**
This is my mysterious partner,
Chappy the Camel.
**[10:02] ---**
Cut!
**[10:03] ---**
Haru-*chan*, your acting
felt unexpectedly natural!
**[10:06] ---**
--Inside the mysterious bundles
the mysterious peddler has is--
--Next is your scene, Makoto-*senpai*.
**[10:11] ---**
I-Inside the mysterious bundles the mysterious
peddler has is a m-magic lamp with a genie.
**[10:18] ---**
I must get that lamp no maader wha--
**[10:21] ---**
Cut!
**[10:23] ---**
Ah, I can't do this!
**[10:25] ---**
Makoto-*senpai*, relax! Relax!
**[10:28] ---**
Makoto.
**[10:29] ---**
Write the kanji for "mackerel"
on the palm of your hand and lick it.
**[10:32] ---**
H-H-How do you write it again?
**[10:34] ---**
If you're gonna do that,
it should be the kanji for "person"!
**[10:36] ---**
What? It's not "pumpkin"?
**[10:39] ---**
Why pumpkin?!
**[10:45] ---**
Okay, Ai. Let's start our meeting
to talk about you taking over as captain.
**[10:50] ---**
Okay! I'm ready.
**[10:53] ---**
First, we should revise
the first-year training regimen.
**[10:57] ---**
Right!
**[10:58] ---**
Hm? What's this?
**[11:00] ---**
Oh, it's called a Lucky Meal,
and it comes with a toy.
**[11:04] ---**
The cashier said that
the meal was a better deal.
**[11:08] ---**
It looks like something Momo would like.
**[11:11] ---**
It's true, Momo-*kun* probably would--
**[11:13] ---**
Momo-*kun*?
**[11:15] ---**
--Huh?
--Oh, excuse me.
**[11:17] ---**
I thought you were someone else.
**[11:19] ---**
What's the matter, Asahi?
**[11:20] ---**
Nothing!
**[11:23] ---**
Oh, sorry.
**[11:25] ---**
Anyway, why are you in Tokyo?
**[11:29] ---**
Didn't I send you a message
saying I'd be home in March?
**[11:32] ---**
What, March?
**[11:35] ---**
Your message said May, didn't it?
**[11:38] ---**
What, seriously?
**[11:40] ---**
Was it a typo? I thought you
were coming back at a weird time.
**[11:46] ---**
Kisumi, you little--
**[11:47] ---**
If you realized it, then you
should've said something back then!
**[11:51] ---**
I bought millet dumplings
and other souvenirs for you!
**[11:56] ---**
It's delicious!
**[11:58] ---**
You even made such amazing lunches for us.
**[12:02] ---**
Really, thank you so much!
**[12:04] ---**
It's fine. When craft service is good,
it gets you more excited for filming.
**[12:10] ---**
If we just had Gou-*chan*'s chocolate-flavored
protein rice balls, then it would be perfect.
**[12:16] ---**
I was thinking of making some,
but I didn't have the ingredients.
**[12:22] ---**
Well, we were able to finish filming,
and the lunches were also great!
**[12:27] ---**
I'm sure we'll be overflowing
with new members!
**[12:37] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*,
**[12:39] ---**
Gou-*san*.
**[12:40] ---**
There's still a lot left to do,
**[12:43] ---**
but let's work hard on this
last spurt to get new members!
**[12:49] ---**
Yeah!
**[12:52] ---**
Take your marks.
**[12:55] ---**
"Audiovisual Room"
**[12:55] ---**
"Audiovisual Room"
A-As long as I have this...
**[13:02] ---**
I am the genie of the lamp.
**[13:04] ---**
Are you the one who called me?
**[13:08] ---**
--What the mysterious peddler said was true!
--As expected of Rei-*chan*!
**[13:11] ---**
Your acting's perfect.
**[13:12] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*, your genie was pretty good, too.
**[13:16] ---**
I was really particular about the mustache.
**[13:18] ---**
But I feel like something's missing...
**[13:23] ---**
You think so, too, Nagisa-*kun*?
**[13:26] ---**
So you do, too, Rei-*chan*?
**[13:28] ---**
Yes.
**[13:29] ---**
As a self-produced invitation video,
I don't think we could do any better,
**[13:34] ---**
but I feel like there's still something
we haven't been able to fully get across.
**[13:55] ---**
Ow...
**[14:05] ---**
This is...?!
**[14:07] ---**
Hm, what's missing... what's missing...
**[14:12] ---**
Rei-*chan*, why don't you try
asking Mako-*chan* and Haru-*chan*, too?
**[14:16] ---**
No, we can't keep relying
on the upperclassmen forever!
**[14:21] ---**
We have to be able to solve this ourselves,
**[14:24] ---**
--or else Makoto-*senpai* and Haruka-*senpai*
--So then, you started from scratch
and entered the tournament, right?
**[14:27] ---**
--will still worry when they to go to Tokyo.
--So then, you started from scratch
and entered the tournament, right?
**[14:29] ---**
You really are amazing.
**[14:30] ---**
--But what should we do?
--I guess.
**[14:32] ---**
What's important is to not give up.
**[14:35] ---**
I'll do everything I can!
**[14:38] ---**
No matter how ridiculous it sounds, as long
as there's a possibility, it's important to try.
**[14:44] ---**
Don't tell me you're planning
on going to Tokyo right now?
**[14:47] ---**
No, I just thought I could at least bring
the souvenirs to his parent's house.
**[14:50] ---**
The millet dumplings?!
**[14:51] ---**
Shut up, they expire today!
**[14:56] ---**
I can't think of anything good...
**[14:58] ---**
Oh, yeah...
**[15:00] ---**
Rei-*kun*, Nagisa-*kun*!
**[15:02] ---**
Gou-*chan*?
**[15:04] ---**
I found something amazing!
**[15:05] ---**
Look at this!
**[15:07] ---**
"Iwatobi Swim Club
New Student Invitation Guidebook"
**[15:07] ---**
It's an old new student invitation
guidebook for Iwatobi Swim Club!
**[15:11] ---**
What's so amazing about this?
**[15:14] ---**
Don't be shocked--
**[15:16] ---**
I checked the history of the
swim club in the faculty room,
**[15:19] ---**
and guess how many new students
joined the club the year this was made?
**[15:24] ---**
The most in its history--thirty people!
**[15:27] ---**
Th-Thirty?!
**[15:29] ---**
And how they got them is in here!
**[15:32] ---**
Let's see it! Let's see it!
**[15:34] ---**
"2. Interesting welcome stage"
"3. Buying ice cream for people
after observation meeting"
**[15:36] ---**
What's the "'PKH Higashi' Plan"?
**[15:40] ---**
Aren't you curious?
**[15:41] ---**
I am, I am! What is it?
**[15:44] ---**
Well...
**[15:47] ---**
Unfortunately...
**[15:48] ---**
What? We don't know?
**[15:50] ---**
What's the point of this, then?
**[15:52] ---**
But look, the other pages are here,
**[15:55] ---**
--so I thought maybe we
could get a hint from those.
--What's important is to not give up...
**[16:00] ---**
But buying ice cream for
people seems kind of like cheating.
**[16:02] ---**
I'd be happy about it.
**[16:04] ---**
Very well!
**[16:06] ---**
This is interesting.
**[16:09] ---**
Then, let us find the missing page!
**[16:14] ---**
Rei-*kun* seems more into it than usual.
**[16:16] ---**
I'll do everything I can!
**[16:19] ---**
Because no matter how ridiculous it sounds,
**[16:21] ---**
as long as there's a possibility,
it's important to try!
**[16:28] ---**
"Pool | Reception | Info"
Hmm, I don't know...
**[16:31] ---**
This is before even I was there...
**[16:34] ---**
I see.
**[16:36] ---**
I feel like I might've heard
about this "PKH Higashi" before...
**[16:40] ---**
Really?
**[16:42] ---**
Yeah, but I can't remember...
**[16:44] ---**
Please remember somehow!
**[16:48] ---**
Coach Sasabe, the equipment is here.
**[16:51] ---**
Oh okay, I'll be right there!
**[16:53] ---**
Well, if I remember anything,
I'll let you know. Later!
**[16:59] ---**
"PKH Higashi"...
**[17:01] ---**
"PKH"...
**[17:03] ---**
Is it some kind of technical swimming term...?
**[17:06] ---**
I've never heard of it...
**[17:08] ---**
Then, a soccer term or something?
**[17:10] ---**
Wasn't it baseball?
**[17:13] ---**
Nothing will start if we just think about it.
**[17:16] ---**
Tomorrow, let's search every corner
of the clubroom for the missing page!
**[17:23] ---**
Right!
**[17:23] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:24] ---**
Then, tomorrow, we'll start by
emptying out the room in the morning!
**[17:28] ---**
Let's do our best!
**[17:29] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:34] ---**
Nothing here, either...
**[17:36] ---**
I don't know if we'll be able to find it...
**[17:38] ---**
These are the last two boxes.
**[17:40] ---**
That's it?
**[17:41] ---**
No, there's still a room we haven't checked yet.
**[17:45] ---**
All right! Then, it's the last spurt!
**[17:48] ---**
What are you doing?
**[17:49] ---**
Oh, Haru-*chan*, Mako-*chan*!
**[17:51] ---**
We're looking for something.
**[17:54] ---**
What about you two?
**[17:55] ---**
Just stopping by.
**[17:57] ---**
More importantly,
is there anything we can help with?
**[17:59] ---**
Oh no, it's nothing to trouble you two with!
**[18:04] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*, Rei-*kun*!
**[18:05] ---**
Oh, Haruka-*senpai* and Makoto-*senpai*!
**[18:08] ---**
Gou-*chan*, what's the matter?
**[18:11] ---**
New info!
**[18:12] ---**
When I looked into the old minutes,
**[18:14] ---**
I figured out that there were
so many people in the club back then
**[18:17] ---**
that they had another clubroom
in the activities building!
**[18:20] ---**
What?!
**[18:22] ---**
I see! Let us look into that immediately!
**[18:31] ---**
Apparently, this clubroom has not been used
for over ten years, so prepare yourselves.
**[18:40] ---**
I'm opening it!
**[18:44] ---**
Mako-*chan*, are you worried about Rei-*chan*?
**[18:47] ---**
Was I that obvious?
**[18:49] ---**
Ever since the filming, Haru and I were
talking about how Rei seemed a little weird,
**[18:54] ---**
so we came to see how he is.
**[18:57] ---**
But I see, Rei's looking for this page...
**[19:01] ---**
The usual Rei would've
probably said this was ridiculous.
**[19:05] ---**
Rei-*chan*'s desperate.
**[19:07] ---**
If we don't get any
new members like in his dream,
**[19:12] ---**
then the swim club that we went through all
the trouble of reviving would go away again.
**[19:18] ---**
But you don't have to worry!
**[19:21] ---**
Gou-*chan* and I are also here!
**[19:26] ---**
You're right.
**[19:29] ---**
What's this?
**[19:30] ---**
There's a name on it,
so it's probably a swim cap.
**[19:34] ---**
Over here, there's the
training regimen from back then.
**[19:37] ---**
"Activity Log" "Iwatobi Swim Club" "April-March"
**[19:40] ---**
There so much here.
**[19:42] ---**
Everyone was giving it their all.
**[19:46] ---**
They had so many more
members than we do now,
**[19:48] ---**
and they probably all did their best practicing,
**[19:51] ---**
trying to win tournaments.
**[19:53] ---**
"Stunning Teamwork" "Certain victory!! Defeat yourself!!!"
**[20:04] ---**
Coach Sasabe...?
**[20:06] ---**
I remembered, Gou!
**[20:08] ---**
It's not read as "Higashi"! It was "Azuma"!
**[20:10] ---**
"PKH" stood for "Perfect,
Killer muscle, Handsome"!
**[20:16] ---**
In the past, there was a handsome guy
called Azuma who had perfect killer muscles!
**[20:21] ---**
"Library"
In the past, there was a handsome guy
called Azuma who had perfect killer muscles!
**[20:22] ---**
"Yearbook"
**[20:23] ---**
Here it is.
**[20:25] ---**
It was this year, right?
**[20:32] ---**
So this is Azuma-*san*?
**[20:35] ---**
It's true that it wouldn't be
exaggerating to call his abs perfect!
**[20:39] ---**
In other words, the "PKH Azuma" plan was
**[20:42] ---**
a plan to use Azuma-*san* to get a
large number of female members to join?
**[20:48] ---**
Now that you mention it,
more than half the members are female.
**[20:52] ---**
On top of that, they're all wearing
school uniforms, which means...
**[20:55] ---**
...they were all managers?
**[20:56] ---**
What?!
**[20:58] ---**
Is that what "PKH" was?
**[21:02] ---**
It was all for nothing.
**[21:04] ---**
No, it wasn't.
**[21:07] ---**
You three should also try that plan.
**[21:10] ---**
I see! The "PKH Rei-*chan* Plan," right?
**[21:14] ---**
I'm not going to do it!
**[21:16] ---**
I don't know if you could call Rei-*kun* "PKH."
**[21:19] ---**
Gou-*chan*, that's mean!
**[21:20] ---**
Hey, everyone, since all the boxes are out,
why don't we clean the clubroom?
**[21:26] ---**
It's a little early,
but we can clean the pool, too.
**[21:55] ---**
What's the matter?
**[21:56] ---**
Nothing.
**[21:56] ---**
I was just thinking back to
when I first joined the swim club...
**[21:59] ---**
I wanted to swim freely,
and beautifully, like you,
**[22:07] ---**
and that's why I joined.
**[22:11] ---**
Rei, you are already free.
**[22:22] ---**
Yes!
**[22:25] ---**
Oh, these are the Iwatobi-*chan*'s
that Haru-*chan* made!
**[22:29] ---**
I didn't know we still had some.
**[22:31] ---**
If you need more, I still have some at home.
**[22:33] ---**
Really? Then maybe we can
pass them out this year, too!
**[22:37] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[22:39] ---**
Oh, that's...
**[22:41] ---**
Yeah, why don't we watch a little?
**[22:45] ---**
That takes me back!
**[22:47] ---**
Everyone was trying so hard.
**[22:49] ---**
It was right before the tournament, huh?
**[22:52] ---**
I'm sure the swim club members in
the past practiced hard like this, too.
**[22:58] ---**
"Activity Log" "Iwatobi Swim Club" "April-March"
I'm sure the swim club members in
the past practiced hard like this, too.
**[22:59] ---**
"Stunning Teamwork" "Certain victory!! Defeat yourself!!!"
**[23:03] ---**
And now, we also...
**[23:07] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*, I feel like
I finally know what we're missing!
**[23:13] ---**
Let's do a final edit of the invitation video!
**[23:17] ---**
Okay! We're almost done, huh, Rei-*chan*?!
**[23:21] ---**
Oh, then why don't we
have a viewing right after?
**[23:25] ---**
Inside the pool!
**[23:30] ---**
I am the genie of the lamp.
**[23:33] ---**
Are you the one who called me?
**[23:36] ---**
What the mysterious peddler said was true!
**[23:40] ---**
Come, tell me your wish!
**[23:43] ---**
Then, I wish for many new members!
**[23:46] ---**
And, just as we developed bonds
with the upperclassmen,
**[23:51] ---**
I would like to develop new bonds with
new friends, from now until the future.
**[23:58] ---**
I wish for those bonds
to continue forever and ever.
**[24:03] ---**
Your wish is my command!
**[24:13] ---**
We added Rei-*chan*'s lines at the end.
**[24:16] ---**
I see. I think it was really good.
**[24:19] ---**
Good job, everyone.
**[24:23] ---**
Nagisa.
**[24:24] ---**
Rei.
**[24:26] ---**
Gou-*chan*.
**[24:27] ---**
As long as the three of you are here,
Iwatobi High School's swim club will be fine.
**[24:32] ---**
Makoto and I can graduate without any worries.
**[24:35] ---**
Yeah!
**[24:36] ---**
Leave it to us!
**[24:37] ---**
Rei, I'm counting on you to be the captain.
**[24:42] ---**
Yes!
**[24:45] ---**
But the real performance is still to come!
**[24:48] ---**
I'm starting to get nervous!
**[24:51] ---**
What's the point of getting nervous already?
**[24:53] ---**
Yeah, right?
**[24:54] ---**
That's just like you, Gou-*chan*!
**[24:56] ---**
But what if a new member
with amazing muscles joins?!
**[25:13] ---**
*What happened today?*
**[25:17] ---**
*I went round and round
worrying and said this and that*
**[25:20] ---**
*What kinds of things happened?*
**[25:24] ---**
*I had butterflies in my stomach
but it worked out somehow*
**[25:28] ---**
*On really sunny days*
**[25:31] ---**
*Floundering around can also actually be pretty fun*
**[25:35] ---**
*And on days with pouring rain*
**[25:39] ---**
*I can become invincible because everyone's here*
**[25:43] ---**
*Laughing together a whole lot,
and then laughing again*
**[25:50] ---**
*Making new moments together and piling them up*
**[26:01] ---**
*Every day, it's not a big deal*
**[26:04] ---**
*Every day, it's so wonderful*
**[26:09] ---**
*These ordinary and pleasant bonds make us happy*
**[26:16] ---**
*Every day, celebrate today*
**[26:19] ---**
*Every day, live today*
**[26:24] ---**
*Chasing the scene we
want to see with these friends*

*We are free, oh yeah*
**[01:33] ---**
Sorry that I have to quit swim club, too...
**[01:37] ---**
It's not your fault. Take care
of your little brother and sister.
**[01:42] ---**
I will, thanks.
**[01:44] ---**
But I really am sorry.
**[01:47] ---**
For the team to break up even though
it's almost time for the tournament...
**[01:51] ---**
Asahi left suddenly, too...
**[01:53] ---**
And Haru.
**[01:54] ---**
Really, I wonder what happened to him.
**[01:56] ---**
I thought I understood Haru,
but maybe I didn't understand him at all...
**[02:06] ---**
Makoto, I'm going to go to
America with my brother after all.
**[02:11] ---**
Huh?
**[02:12] ---**
I want to swim more and more.
**[02:14] ---**
I want to be faster.
**[02:16] ---**
I didn't expect to like swimming
competitively this much, either.
**[02:20] ---**
Ikuya...
**[02:22] ---**
So tell Haru...
**[02:25] ---**
I will definitely...
**[02:25] ---**
"I will definitely"
**[02:26] ---**
"see you at a swim meet--"
**[02:37] ---**
"Eternal Blue of Setting Off!"
**[02:43] ---**
And so, I would like to start the meeting
to throw a surprise party for Rin-*san*
**[02:48] ---**
before he leaves for Australia.
**[02:52] ---**
In the past,
**[02:53] ---**
we received the very wonderful surprise of
a pool full of cherry blossoms from Rin-*san*.
**[02:57] ---**
So we would like to return the favor
with an even more wonderful surprise.
**[03:02] ---**
However, Haruka-*senpai*
and Makoto-*senpai* will--
**[03:05] ---**
Your introduction is too long, Rei-*chan*!
**[03:07] ---**
So anyway, let's talk about ideas
for the surprise party together!
**[03:11] ---**
I have one!
**[03:13] ---**
How about having fireworks go off
the moment Rin-*chan* enters the pool?
**[03:17] ---**
That's way above our budget.
**[03:20] ---**
Then, what if everyone does a muscle dance
by his pillow when he wakes up in the morning?
**[03:26] ---**
What the heck's a muscle dance?
**[03:28] ---**
Hmm, if possible, it'd be better
to do something with a pool...
**[03:32] ---**
Then, let's carry Rin-*chan*
to the pool while he's sleeping!
**[03:36] ---**
And then do the muscle dance there!
**[03:38] ---**
No, we're not dancing!
**[03:40] ---**
Haru-*chan*, do you have any ideas?
**[03:43] ---**
Give him grilled mackerel.
**[03:45] ---**
But have it actually
be mackerel cured in vinegar.
**[03:48] ---**
But then it's actually carpaccio.
**[03:52] ---**
It's so subtle that no one would get it!
**[03:54] ---**
That's what "surprise" means to Haru-*chan*!
**[03:57] ---**
I'm starting to get hungry.
Why don't we have lunch?
**[04:00] ---**
Good idea.
**[04:02] ---**
Then let's order pizza! Pizza!
**[04:07] ---**
That day, during the experiment, a mouse
slipped into the matter transference device.
**[04:14] ---**
It's all right.
**[04:15] ---**
No matter what form you've taken,
**[04:18] ---**
those days, and my love, will never change!
**[04:20] ---**
Thank you, Veronica.
**[04:23] ---**
But...
**[04:28] ---**
Since you love cats, I cannot live with you!
**[04:32] ---**
David!
**[04:35] ---**
No! No...!
**[04:36] ---**
Forgive me!
**[04:38] ---**
"Life of a Mouse 2"
Oh, that David... Why did he...?
**[04:42] ---**
And Veronica, even knowing
they couldn't see each other anymore...
**[04:45] ---**
Rin, don't cry so much.
**[04:47] ---**
I-I'm not crying.
**[04:51] ---**
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
**[04:53] ---**
You can lose yourself in the movie
without feeling any reserve, you know.
**[04:57] ---**
Wha--
**[04:58] ---**
I said I wasn't crying...
**[05:03] ---**
Huh?
**[05:04] ---**
Gou?
**[05:14] ---**
What, if she was gonna go out,
she could've said something to me first...
**[05:19] ---**
U-Um... Being able t-to eat
a Lucky Meal like this with you today
**[05:27] ---**
is like a dream come true!
**[05:29] ---**
Momo?!
**[05:32] ---**
Is this...?
**[05:34] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[05:35] ---**
...it's a date?!
**[05:36] ---**
Gou and Momo?
**[05:41] ---**
Wh-What, Sosuke?
**[05:44] ---**
Sorry, Rin. I got lost.
**[05:46] ---**
What are you doing?
**[05:48] ---**
What landmarks do you see?
**[05:51] ---**
There's a sign that says "South Exit"...
**[05:53] ---**
Come on, that's the opposite direction...
**[05:56] ---**
Okay, I'll go get you. Don't move.
**[05:59] ---**
Okay.
**[06:03] ---**
Thanks for waiting!
**[06:05] ---**
Sorry, the Super Deluxe Burger
took longer than expected...
**[06:11] ---**
What? Ai-*senpai*, you didn't get a Lucky Meal?
**[06:15] ---**
Only Lucky Meals give you fries
and a toy with your burger, you know!
**[06:20] ---**
And you can eat it with Gou-*san*!
**[06:23] ---**
I-I get it, Momo-*kun*. Calm down!
**[06:26] ---**
Um, sorry. Can we get started...?
**[06:29] ---**
Oh, I'm sorry! Go ahead.
**[06:32] ---**
Actually, there's something
we wanted to ask you two...
**[06:35] ---**
Could you be wanting to trade Lucky Meal toys?
**[06:39] ---**
That's not it, Momo-*chan*.
**[06:41] ---**
Actually, we want to throw Rin-*san* a
surprise party before he leaves for Australia.
**[06:47] ---**
Yeah, but we haven't been able
to come up with anything good.
**[06:51] ---**
So we thought we'd ask you
two if you had any good ideas.
**[06:57] ---**
I see, that sounds interesting!
**[07:00] ---**
We had a welcome and send-off party
with everyone at Samezuka the other day,
**[07:04] ---**
but it wasn't a surprise.
**[07:06] ---**
Don't surprises make you think of stag beetles?
**[07:09] ---**
We should give Rin-*senpai*
a big stag beetle as a present!
**[07:12] ---**
Momo-*kun*, I don't think he'll be able
to bring a live stag beetle into Australia.
**[07:17] ---**
Oh, right! I brought
presents for everyone today!
**[07:21] ---**
"Tree Sap"
"Vitamins, Amino Acids, Proteins" "Natural Sap"
**[07:22] ---**
What is that...?
**[07:24] ---**
It's food for stag beetles, of course!
**[07:28] ---**
This is for you two.
**[07:30] ---**
Th-Thanks...
**[07:31] ---**
Wow, thanks, Momo-*chan*!
**[07:33] ---**
G-Gou-*san*, for you,
I have this special value size!
**[07:39] ---**
H-Here you go.
**[07:41] ---**
Th-Thanks...
**[07:43] ---**
I'm glad I came today!
**[07:51] ---**
I'm home...
**[07:53] ---**
Oh, welcome back, Big Brother.
**[07:55] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[08:01] ---**
Did you go somewhere today?
**[08:03] ---**
Huh? Oh, uh, I suddenly had a
meeting with Nagisa-*kun* and Rei-*kun*.
**[08:08] ---**
It was really sudden.
**[08:10] ---**
Meeting? About what?
**[08:11] ---**
Hm? A lot of stuff...
**[08:14] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[08:16] ---**
No, it's just, uh, Gou...
**[08:21] ---**
Are you... hiding something from me?
**[08:25] ---**
Huh? H-Hiding something?
**[08:27] ---**
Of course not!
**[08:30] ---**
Jeez, Big Brother...!
**[08:32] ---**
Come on, Rin.
**[08:34] ---**
Don't pry so much.
**[08:36] ---**
Gou has a lot going on, too.
**[08:38] ---**
Hey, stop that, Mom.
**[08:40] ---**
It's really nothing!
**[08:42] ---**
Really?
**[08:43] ---**
Really.
**[08:46] ---**
That's...
**[08:47] ---**
...tree sap for stag beetles?!
**[08:49] ---**
Gou and Momo really did...
**[08:52] ---**
Big Brother?
**[08:54] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[08:55] ---**
Uh, no...
**[08:58] ---**
Gou, um, did you and... M-Mo-Mo...
**[09:02] ---**
M-M-Mo... Mo... M-Mo... M-M-Mo...
**[09:06] ---**
Did you know the proverb,
"Most peaches and chestnuts take three years,
**[09:08] ---**
and persimmons take eight"?
**[09:10] ---**
Huh?
**[09:12] ---**
I've heard it before, but what about it?
**[09:14] ---**
Nothing. It's fine as long as you know it.
**[09:16] ---**
Later.
**[09:19] ---**
I wonder what happened with Rin?
**[09:20] ---**
Who knows?
**[09:23] ---**
It's no good. It's too hard
to ask her to her face after all...
**[09:26] ---**
Anyway, Gou's not a kid anymore.
**[09:30] ---**
It's not my place to tell her
who she can and can't date...
**[09:35] ---**
But it's too hard to believe.
**[09:37] ---**
Are Momo and Gou really dating?
**[09:43] ---**
Well, how was your meeting
with Nitori-*kun* and Momotaro-*kun*?
**[09:46] ---**
We got tree sap stag beetle
food from Momo-*chan*!
**[09:49] ---**
Why tree sap?!
**[09:51] ---**
And then we just talked about Dangerous
Ookuchin Hosoeson-*kun* the rest of the time.
**[09:56] ---**
If it were me, I would be super happy if
I got a Dangerous Ookuchin Hosoeson-*kun*!
**[10:01] ---**
What is that Dangerous something-or-other...?
**[10:05] ---**
It's the secret toy that
comes with the Lucky Meals!
**[10:08] ---**
Oh? I think Rin-*senpai* got one the other day...
**[10:13] ---**
What, seriously?!
**[10:15] ---**
Why did Rin-*san* get a Lucky Meal?
**[10:17] ---**
It was recommended by the cashier...
**[10:20] ---**
Was Rin-*senpai* happy?
**[10:22] ---**
Not especially...
**[10:23] ---**
If Rin-*senpai* doesn't want it,
then I really, really want it!
**[10:26] ---**
I really, really want Rin-*senpai*'s
Dangerous Ookuchin Hosoeson-*kun*!
**[10:32] ---**
That's...
**[10:33] ---**
That's rough.
**[10:35] ---**
Maybe we should ask Sosuke-*kun*, too...
**[10:41] ---**
I should ask Momo directly after all...
**[10:45] ---**
Oh, is that you, Rin-*senpai*?
**[10:48] ---**
What's up?
**[10:49] ---**
H-Hey, Momo.
**[10:51] ---**
There's something I want to ask you.
**[10:54] ---**
Oh, there was something
I wanted to talk to you about, too.
**[10:57] ---**
Talk?
**[10:58] ---**
Yes!
**[11:00] ---**
Actually, um, there's something I want...
**[11:04] ---**
Something you want?
**[11:06] ---**
Don't tell me, Gou--
**[11:09] ---**
Did you hear about it from Gou-*san*?
**[11:11] ---**
N-No, not directly, but I kinda figured...
**[11:15] ---**
Then, please! I want it no matter what!
**[11:19] ---**
What you want...
**[11:21] ---**
I can't have it?
**[11:24] ---**
I-It's not that you can't,
**[11:26] ---**
but it's not something
I can just give you if you ask.
**[11:29] ---**
In the first place, Gou--
**[11:31] ---**
Then, race me in swimming!
**[11:33] ---**
And if I win, let me have it!
**[11:39] ---**
Momo...
**[11:40] ---**
Fine.
**[11:41] ---**
I will catch your passionate feelings firmly.
**[11:46] ---**
I accept your challenge.
**[11:49] ---**
Come to Iwatobi SC Returns tomorrow night!
**[11:52] ---**
Seriously?
**[11:53] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[11:55] ---**
I will definitely win!
**[11:57] ---**
Yahoo!
**[11:59] ---**
A race?!
**[12:02] ---**
Seriously?
**[12:03] ---**
Seriously. That Momo's finally done it.
**[12:06] ---**
A swimming race with
Matsuoka-*senpai*'s little sister on the line.
**[12:10] ---**
On top of that, saying
"If I win, let me have it" means...
**[12:13] ---**
Yeah, he's thinking
about marriage with this race,
**[12:17] ---**
even though he's still in high school.
**[12:19] ---**
Mikoshiba Momotaro
is a man who lives for love.
**[12:22] ---**
What did you say?
**[12:24] ---**
Mikoshiba-*senpai*?!
**[12:25] ---**
Doesn't the Spring Break Training
from Hell start tomorrow...?
**[12:29] ---**
I couldn't wait to see you guys,
so I came early,
**[12:33] ---**
but when in the world did
that Momotaro end up like that?
**[12:37] ---**
I won't allow it! I definitely won't allow it!
**[12:39] ---**
Even if you don't allow it, Rin-*senpai*
said it was okay, so it's fine, isn't it?
**[12:44] ---**
No! It's not enough just
to win against Matsuoka!
**[12:47] ---**
You must also surpass me!
**[12:49] ---**
You say that, but you're
planning to steal it, aren't you?
**[12:52] ---**
Don't say pathetic things.
**[12:54] ---**
If Matsuoka says it's fine,
then I won't say anything!
**[12:57] ---**
But I'm just saying you need to beat me, too!
**[12:59] ---**
There's no way I can beat you!
**[13:02] ---**
How are you gonna win if you talk
like a weakling before you even race?
**[13:05] ---**
I am always on your side!
**[13:08] ---**
Everything I do is for your sake!
**[13:10] ---**
Think of this as a race
between me and you, and Matsuoka!
**[13:14] ---**
Big Brother...
**[13:16] ---**
Mikoshiba-*senpai* and Momo-*kun* are
teaming up to race against Rin-*senpai*?!
**[13:23] ---**
Take your marks!
**[13:25] ---**
"Samezuka Academy"
**[13:27] ---**
Even though we're going
to ask Sosuke-*san* for advice,
**[13:29] ---**
do you think it's okay to go
without an appointment?
**[13:32] ---**
It's fine! So-*chan* isn't supposed to
be done moving out of the dorms yet!
**[13:36] ---**
What are you guys doing?
**[13:38] ---**
Rin-*chan*!
**[13:39] ---**
W-We came to ask Sosuke-*san* for
some advice about our training regimen...
**[13:44] ---**
Sosuke?
**[13:45] ---**
He wasn't answering his
cell phone, so we just came...
**[13:48] ---**
Do you think So-*chan*'s around?
**[13:50] ---**
He said he would go to the hospital today.
**[13:53] ---**
If it's about your training regimen,
you can ask me about it.
**[13:55] ---**
O-Oh, no! Rin-*senpai*!
**[14:00] ---**
Mikoshiba-*san* and Momotaro-*kun* are...?
**[14:03] ---**
The brothers are planning on teaming up?
**[14:05] ---**
How did it end up like this?
**[14:07] ---**
W-Well, a lot of stuff happened...
**[14:10] ---**
Rin-*chan*, you'll definitely take them on, right?
**[14:13] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[14:14] ---**
You can't do that, Rin-*san*.
**[14:15] ---**
It's reckless to take them on by yourself.
**[14:18] ---**
He's right! If it was just Momo-*kun*,
it would've been fine,
**[14:21] ---**
but Mikoshiba-*senpai*'s a college
student undergoing special training!
**[14:25] ---**
But you can't run from this!
**[14:28] ---**
Right, Rin-*chan*?
**[14:29] ---**
O-Of course not...
**[14:31] ---**
Then at least follow the theory of contests
and fight two-on-two, fair and square.
**[14:37] ---**
Yeah! Why don't you ask Haru-*chan*?
**[14:40] ---**
No, this is my personal problem.
**[14:43] ---**
I can't get Haru involved...
**[14:45] ---**
A personal problem?
**[14:46] ---**
It's nothing!
**[14:48] ---**
But if I lose here, I won't be able
to go to Australia with peace of mind.
**[14:55] ---**
I wonder if Nagisa-*kun* and
Rei-*kun* were able to see Sosuke-*kun*...
**[14:59] ---**
I hope they come up with a good idea...
**[15:05] ---**
Nagisa?
**[15:06] ---**
Mako-*chan*, I have a favor to ask Haru-*chan*!
**[15:09] ---**
Ask him to go along with Rin-*chan*'s match!
**[15:11] ---**
What? Rin's match?
**[15:13] ---**
Yeah! Rin-*chan* said if he lost,
he can't go to Australia anymore!
**[15:18] ---**
What?!
**[15:19] ---**
Anyway, tell Haru-*chan*!
**[15:21] ---**
Thanks!
**[15:22] ---**
W-Wait, Nagisa...
**[15:25] ---**
What's the matter?
**[15:26] ---**
Well, I heard Rin wanted
a match with you, Haru.
**[15:29] ---**
And if he lost,
then he wouldn't go to Australia!
**[15:32] ---**
That Rin... After all this,
he's planning to quit swimming?
**[15:36] ---**
Oh, no! I didn't hear anything about it...
**[15:40] ---**
But, now that you mention it,
he said something weird yesterday...
**[15:44] ---**
Something weird?
**[15:46] ---**
He asked me if I knew the proverb,
"Most peaches and chestnuts take three years,
**[15:49] ---**
and persimmons take eight."
**[15:51] ---**
Three years for peaches and chestnuts...
**[15:52] ---**
...and eight for persimmons!
**[15:54] ---**
It takes three years for peaches and chestnuts
to bear fruit, and eight for persimmons.
**[15:58] ---**
In other words, in order to
succeed at anything, it takes time...
**[16:03] ---**
Eight years?!
**[16:05] ---**
Now that you mention it,
**[16:06] ---**
it's been way more than eight years
since Big Brother started swimming!
**[16:10] ---**
Don't tell me Rin was worried about that...
**[16:12] ---**
...and thinks he's less than a persimmon?!
**[16:14] ---**
Oh, no...
**[16:15] ---**
Rin, you haven't lost to persimmons!
You haven't!
**[16:19] ---**
This is no time for a surprise party, Haru!
**[16:28] ---**
"Calling: Nanase Haru"
**[16:29] ---**
Haru?
**[16:34] ---**
This is unusual, Haru. For *you* to call *me*.
**[16:39] ---**
What's up?
**[16:41] ---**
It's about the match.
**[16:43] ---**
I heard from Nagisa and Rei.
**[16:44] ---**
What're those guys blabbing for?
**[16:48] ---**
It's my personal problem,
so I told them not to get you involved.
**[16:52] ---**
Personal problem?
**[16:53] ---**
Yeah, so don't worry about it.
**[16:56] ---**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[16:59] ---**
Huh?
**[16:59] ---**
I can't just not worry about it.
**[17:01] ---**
Hey, wait. What're you
getting all worked up for?
**[17:04] ---**
Don't tell me you and Gou--
**[17:07] ---**
Gou has nothing to do with this.
**[17:08] ---**
Don't change the subject.
**[17:10] ---**
I'm *not* changing the subject.
**[17:12] ---**
I was able to walk toward
the future thanks to you.
**[17:17] ---**
But now, is it your turn
to come to a standstill?!
**[17:20] ---**
Huh?
**[17:21] ---**
How can you say you're going
to quit swimming after all this time?!
**[17:25] ---**
You're not less than a persimmon!
**[17:27] ---**
Wa... Wait, wait, wait!
**[17:28] ---**
I don't know what you're talking about.
**[17:30] ---**
Who said I was gonna quit swimming?
**[17:32] ---**
You're not?
**[17:33] ---**
No!
**[17:34] ---**
But Nagisa said you would give up on
going to Australia if you lost a match to me.
**[17:40] ---**
No way!
**[17:41] ---**
Besides, the match is
with Momo and Mikoshiba-*senpai*!
**[17:44] ---**
That Momo had the nerve to say
I had to give Gou to him if he beat me...
**[17:49] ---**
Are the two of them dating?
**[17:51] ---**
It looks like it.
**[17:53] ---**
I saw it, too...
**[17:54] ---**
The two of them meeting up yesterday...
**[17:56] ---**
Yesterday?
**[17:57] ---**
Yeah, you know, at that
hamburger place that was built last year.
**[18:03] ---**
That was...
**[18:04] ---**
...probably not a date.
**[18:06] ---**
What?! Advice for a surprise party?!
**[18:08] ---**
And if that's the case,
then what Momotaro wants isn't Gou.
**[18:14] ---**
He wants your
Dangerous Ookuchin Hosoeson-*kun*.
**[18:16] ---**
What the heck is that?
**[18:18] ---**
Anyway, Haru, was it okay for you
to tell me about the surprise?
**[18:23] ---**
Don't blame me if Gou
and the others get mad at you.
**[18:28] ---**
Oh, well.
**[18:29] ---**
It's just like you not to tell weird lies.
**[18:31] ---**
Besides, just being able to swim with you
one last time is a good enough surprise for me.
**[18:38] ---**
Something like that's good enough?
**[18:40] ---**
Sure, why not?
**[18:42] ---**
Let's just take this match
and swim together tomorrow.
**[18:48] ---**
"Reserved Today"
**[18:48] ---**
All right, then let's start.
**[18:50] ---**
Two-on-two freestyle relay race!
**[18:53] ---**
Are you guys ready?
**[18:55] ---**
Yes!
**[18:57] ---**
Thanks for racing us today.
**[18:58] ---**
Sure! Even though things kind
of ended up this way, a race is a race!
**[19:01] ---**
Let's enjoy it to our heart's content!
**[19:03] ---**
I'm gonna beat you,
Rin-*senpai*, and get that thing!
**[19:07] ---**
Haru.
**[19:16] ---**
Nanase-*kun*!
**[19:18] ---**
I'm glad to have the chance
to swim with you again.
**[19:21] ---**
But I won't hold back!
**[19:23] ---**
I won't hold back, either.
**[19:26] ---**
You have a good attitude!
**[19:28] ---**
Ready...
**[19:31] ---**
Set...
**[19:39] ---**
Wow! Big Brother's
gotten even better in Tokyo!
**[19:43] ---**
Yeah. Part of it is that he's
giving his all in this short distance,
**[19:46] ---**
but he's on a completely different level
from when he was in high school.
**[19:49] ---**
But Haru's not losing, either!
**[19:53] ---**
Big Brother's going into the turn!
**[19:55] ---**
Haruka is, too!
**[19:59] ---**
They're both amazing, but the
older Mikoshiba's fine technique shines.
**[20:06] ---**
Rin-*senpai*, I won't lose!
**[20:08] ---**
I'll let you go first.
**[20:10] ---**
Be careful not to get bitten from behind.
**[20:23] ---**
Momotaro!
**[20:25] ---**
Rin!
**[20:34] ---**
Matsuoka's legs are powerful, as usual,
**[20:36] ---**
but Momotaro's swimming well, too.
**[20:39] ---**
He must really want that toy.
**[20:43] ---**
That Rin looks like he's having
a lot of fun swimming, too.
**[20:48] ---**
He really loves swimming, doesn't he?
**[20:55] ---**
Go, Momotaro!
**[20:57] ---**
Twenty meters left!
**[21:09] ---**
Yes!
**[21:11] ---**
Rin-*senpai*, you're too fast!
**[21:15] ---**
Momo, you've gotten better.
**[21:19] ---**
What? What's going on?
**[21:34] ---**
I didn't expect this to happen now.
**[21:37] ---**
I'm really surprised.
**[21:39] ---**
Right?
**[21:41] ---**
It's a return surprise for
the pool full of cherry blossoms.
**[21:43] ---**
We got help from people at Samezuka, too!
**[21:46] ---**
Really?
**[21:48] ---**
I didn't know about it!
**[21:49] ---**
Sorry, we thought you'd let something slip
if you knew, so we didn't tell you.
**[21:54] ---**
Sorry, Momo-*kun*.
**[21:56] ---**
It's an amazing surprise party!
There's even an otter!
**[21:59] ---**
And a capybara!
**[22:01] ---**
It's turned into a surprise for Momotaro, huh?
**[22:04] ---**
It's like one return surprise
for another, though.
**[22:08] ---**
The balloon decorations were Nagisa's idea.
**[22:11] ---**
Do you like them?
**[22:12] ---**
We worked on them together all last night.
**[22:16] ---**
You guys...
**[22:17] ---**
Rin, it's okay to cry.
**[22:19] ---**
No matter how much you cry
in the pool, no one will notice.
**[22:22] ---**
Idiots! I'm not gonna cry.
**[22:25] ---**
There's a saying, "Because there
are tears, people can move forward."
**[22:31] ---**
Now, everyone! You've got this balloon pool!
**[22:34] ---**
Have fun with everything you've got!
**[22:36] ---**
Yeah!
**[22:52] ---**
Momo.
**[22:53] ---**
Hm?
**[22:54] ---**
Here, you can have this.
**[23:01] ---**
Can I really? Even though I lost?
**[23:03] ---**
You can have it as a parting gift.
**[23:05] ---**
Yahoo!
**[23:07] ---**
Momo-*chan*'s really
the most surprised, after all.
**[23:10] ---**
That's fine, isn't it? Sharing the surprise.
**[23:13] ---**
You're leaving next week, right?
**[23:15] ---**
Want us to go see you off?
**[23:17] ---**
No, it's okay. Setting off on a journey
is something that should be done alone.
**[23:21] ---**
Oh, Rin-*chan*, you're so cool!
**[23:23] ---**
That's pretty poetic!
**[23:25] ---**
Shut up.
**[23:38] ---**
*I feel... the clear water*
**[23:40] ---**
*Dive, this moment I was looking for*
**[23:43] ---**
*Our "free" that we will make here*
**[23:56] ---**
It'll be a while before I can
hang out with everyone like this again.
**[24:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[24:00] ---**
This past month, it was fun being able
to do a bunch of dumb stuff one last time.
**[24:04] ---**
I'm really grateful.
**[24:06] ---**
I'm looking forward
to when we can meet again.
**[24:10] ---**
Yeah.
**[24:12] ---**
Now, let's fire things up again!
**[24:14] ---**
Okay!
**[24:18] ---**
*To where the heat shines on the water*
**[24:23] ---**
*A new me is screaming*
**[24:28] ---**
*Now, I can start*
**[24:33] ---**
*I'll make it a premonition
of the summer I can finally reach*
**[24:39] ---**
*How much further is it to the full "blue"?*
**[24:44] ---**
*In the midst of the shining "today"*
**[24:49] ---**
*Our stretched-out arms are not yet finished*
**[24:55] ---**
*They become lines that reach the future*
**[25:00] ---**
*We'll run through*
**[25:03] ---**
*To tomorrow, rising free*
**[25:26] ---**
What, is that all you're eating?
**[25:28] ---**
You're eating too much, Hiyori.
**[25:30] ---**
We have time trials
right after we start college.
**[25:34] ---**
Ikuya, you're so diligent.
**[25:36] ---**
You're not diligent enough, Hiyori.
**[25:38] ---**
But aren't you looking forward to it?
**[25:41] ---**
There are a lot of tournaments this year.
**[25:43] ---**
We'll have a better idea of who'll be
competing at the world level after next year.
**[25:49] ---**
Oh, you're here, too.
**[25:51] ---**
I don't care. I'm fine as long
as I can swim the way I want.
**[25:55] ---**
Yeah?
**[25:56] ---**
But I really am looking forward to it.
**[26:00] ---**
"Iwatobi High School
Nanase Haruka (Specialty: Freestyle)"
**[26:00] ---**
"Iwatobi High School
Nanase Haruka (Specialty: Freestyle)"
I have to do my best, too.
**[26:01] ---**
I have to do my best, too.
**[26:35] ---**
*What happened today?*
**[26:39] ---**
*A lot of stuff happened
with everyone today, too, huh?*
**[26:41] ---**
*Did you have fun, Haru?*
**[26:42] ---**
*Yeah.*
**[26:43] ---**
*What kinds of things happened?*
**[26:46] ---**
*I forgot to buy mackerel...*
**[26:48] ---**
*I'll be back.*
**[26:49] ---**
*Hey, wait, right now?!*
**[26:50] ---**
*On really sunny days*
**[26:53] ---**
*You guys, don't fall behind! Follow me!*
**[26:58] ---**
*And on days with pouring rain*
**[27:01] ---**
*Right, Rin. Let's go!*
**[27:05] ---**
*Laughing together a whole lot,
and then laughing again*
**[27:13] ---**
*Making new moments together and piling them up*
**[27:23] ---**
*Every day, it's not a big deal*

*Chasing the scene we
want to see with these friends*
**[28:08] ---**
*When we're at our best*
**[28:12] ---**
*There's a saying--*
**[28:14] ---**
*No, we should follow theory here...*
**[28:16] ---**
*When we're down*
**[28:19] ---**
*With Gou-san's smile,
I'll have the strength of a hundred men!*
**[28:21] ---**
*I totally get that, Momotaro!*
**[28:22] ---**
*Thank you very much...*
**[28:23] ---**
*Being cheered on*
**[28:27] ---**
*I have the strength of a hundred men,
too, with everyone here.*
**[28:30] ---**
*I get that!*
**[28:31] ---**
*And cheering others on*
**[28:34] ---**
*That's great, young people!
Worry, learn, and play!*
**[28:37] ---**
*Yeah!*
**[28:38] ---**
*Our worries and our dreams
are all proof we're being ourselves*
**[28:46] ---**
*We can always be proud
and believe freely and honestly*
**[28:56] ---**
*Every time, why is it like this?*
**[29:00] ---**
*Every time, why is it wonderful?*
**[29:04] ---**
*Because if just one thing was missing,
then it wouldn't turn out like this*
**[29:11] ---**
*Every time, it'll become greater*
**[29:15] ---**
*Every time, we'll be in higher spirits*
**[29:19] ---**
*In this time that let us
meet irreplaceable people*

**[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.

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!

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.

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

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

Well, don't worry about the family.

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!
***SIGN*** Kanto Intercollegiate Newcomer Swimming Tournament

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.

What's up with Taka U's
first-years this year?!

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!
**[22:05] Nagisa**
And suddenly, a reunion!

Next time: "A Promise on a Shooting Star!"

Ikuya?
**[00:04] Asahi**
Huh? Ikuya?
**[00:06] Asahi**
Are you serious?
**[00:07] Asahi**
Hey! Ikuya!
**[00:09] Asahi**
Sorry! Excuse me!
**[00:26] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Why do you have to quit swimming, Haru?
***SIGN*** Why do you have to quit swimming...
**[00:33] Asahi**
Damn, we lost him.
**[00:37] Haru**
I...

Go!

Ikuya!
**[02:18] (Flashback) Makoto**
Even Ikuya's being left behind!
**[02:19] (Flashback) Makoto**
How did this happen?
**[02:21] (Flashback) Crowd**
Asahi!
**[02:23] (Flashback) Makato**
I guess everyone's a lot
stronger at the regionals...
**[02:31] (Flashback) Natsuya**
He's gotten even faster again.
**[02:34] (Flashback) Three**
Haru!
**[02:39] (Flashback) Asahi**
He's awesome!

Haru!

Go!

**[02:51] (Flashback) Asahi**
Crap! We were so close!
**[02:55] (Flashback) Makoto**
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,
**[03:04] (Flashback) Haru**
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...
**[03:29] (Flashback) Haru**
He even says it in his dreams.
**[03:31] (Flashback) Asahi**
All right! Let's invade Haru's dream!
**[03:34] (Flashback) Makoto**
Can't we just wake him up normally?
**[03:36] (Flashback) Asahi**
It'll be fine! I'm just
gonna tickle him, like this!
**[03:38] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Hey!
**[03:40] (Flashback) Asahi**
Coochie-coochie-coo...
**[03:41] (Flashback) Makoto**
Come on, Asahi, cut it out!
**[03:42] (Flashback) Ikuya**
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**
Freestyle...
**[04:26] (Flashback) Asahi**
Whoa! Ikuya's swimming freestyle?
**[04:29] (Flashback) Asahi**
Awesome!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Asahi**
All right! I'm not gonna fall behind!
**[04:38] (Flashback) Nao**
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.
***SIGN*** Iwatobi Middle School Swim Club Summer Training Camp Guide!
**[05:30] (Flashback) Haru**
There's not a single break on the schedule.
**[05:33] (Flashback) Asahi**
What are you talking about?
**[05:34] (Flashback) Asahi**
If we want to win next summer,
this is what we have to do!
**[05:39] (Flashback) Haru**
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!
**[05:55] (Flashback) Asahi**
Besides, if we think about stuff like
that, we won't get anything done!
**[05:58] (Flashback) Asahi**
We have to live in the now!
***SIGN*** Shiina
**[06:05] (Flashback) Makoto**
You're hungry, aren't you?
**[06:06] (Flashback) Haru**
Let's eat something.
**[06:08] (Flashback) Asahi**
I'm getting a chicken sandwich!
**[06:10] (Flashback) Ikuya**
No fair, Asahi! There's only one of those!
**[06:13] (Flashback) Makoto**
Come on, you two! Play nice!
**[06:13] (Flashback) Asahi**
First come, first served!
**[06:39] (Flashback) Haru**
My towel...
**[06:55] (Flashback) Haru**
Ikuya?
**[07:03] (Flashback) Haru**
What're you doing?
**[07:06] (Flashback) Ikuya**
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.
**[10:39] Rei**
Let's start by knocking out
our special practice regimen!
**[10:42] Rei**
Come on, let's give it our all!
**[10:45] All**
Yeah!
**[10:48] Makoto**
Let's see... Kirishima Ikuya...
**[10:51] Makoto**
Oh, here he is!
***SIGN*** Kirishima Ikuya
**[10:54] Makoto**
Shimogami University?
***SIGN*** (Shimogami University)
**[10:57] Asahi**
Looks like he's only in the IM.
**[11:00] Kisumi**
IM?
**[11:00] Asahi**
It stands for "individual medley."
**[11:03] Haru**
He's not swimming in relays anymore?
**[11:05] Makoto**
Isn't Shimogami University a
really strong sports school?
**[11:09] Higashi**
Shimo U has a lot of unique athletes.
**[11:14] Higashi**
Their supporters
**[11:17] Higashi**
are sitting over there.
**[11:21] Sagae**
Whoa, another new record...
**[11:24] Terashima**
Lots of strong competitors this year.
**[11:26] Sagae**
You seem happy about that.
**[11:28] Terashima**
Watching fast swimmers is exciting.
**[11:31] Terashima**
Right, Kirishima?
**[11:32] Ikuya**
Whatever. I'm no one but me.
**[11:35] Ikuya**
I don't need to compare myself to anyone.
**[11:39] Ikuya**
I'm going to get ready.
**[11:40] Hiyori**
Good luck!
**[11:41] Ikuya**
Thanks.
**[11:43] Sagae**
He's as cold as ever.
**[11:45] Makoto**
Um, excuse me.
**[11:48] Makoto**
Is there a Kirishima Ikuya-kun with you?
**[11:50] Sagae**
Who are you guys?
**[11:52] Asahi**
We were Ikuya's buddies in middle school.
**[11:54] Sagae**
That's the guy who was really
fast in the 100m free!
**[11:58] Terashima**
Nanase Haruka, formerly from Iwatobi, right?
**[12:01] Haru**
Yeah.
**[12:02] Asahi**
I remember you now!
**[12:04] Asahi**
You're Terashima Kotarou, aren't you?
**[12:06] Terashima**
Huh?
**[12:07] Asahi**
Terashima, the Archerfish of Naruto!
***SIGN*** Terashima
***SIGN*** The Archerfish of Naruto
**[12:11] Kisumi**
Why "Archerfish"?
**[12:12] Terashima**
Don't call me that!
**[12:15] Kisumi**
Asahi!
**[12:18] Sagae**
That nickname is taboo
in Terashima's presence.
**[12:22] Asahi**
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?
**[12:57] (Flashback) Asahi**
Man, Haru really is amazing!
**[13:02] (Flashback) Asahi**
He apparently beat his
personal best time again!
**[13:07] Ikuya**
*Right...*
**[13:09] Ikuya**
*I need to get stronger, too.*
**[13:12] (Flashback) Makoto**
Ikuya's working really hard today.
**[13:15] (Flashback) Haru**
Yeah.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Guy**
Okay, practice is over! Everyone cool down!
**[13:19] (Flashback) Asahi**
Ikuya, practice is over.
**[13:24] (Flashback) Asahi**
What's with you?
**[13:26] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Nothing. I'm going to swim a little more.
**[13:28] (Flashback) Asahi**
H-Hey!
**[13:29] (Flashback) Guy**
Good practice.
**[13:30] (Flashback) Girl**
Same to you.
**[13:35] Ikuya**
*Stronger...*
**[13:37] Ikuya**
*I have to get even stronger...*
**[13:41] Ikuya**
*Like Haru...*
**[13:47] (Flashback) Asahi**
Hey, the way Ikuya's swimming...
**[13:53] Ikuya**
*I feel... so heavy...*
**[13:58] (Flashback) Asahi**
Ikuya?!
**[13:59] (Flashback) Asahi**
Haru!
**[14:13] (Flashback) Asahi**
You're awake!
**[14:15] (Flashback) Makoto**
Thank goodness!
**[14:17] (Flashback) Natsuya**
You're in the hospital. You nearly
drowned from lack of oxygen.
**[14:21] (Flashback) Makoto**
Haru dove in and saved you!
**[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.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I'm sorry.
**[14:41] (Flashback) ---**
Thanks, Haru.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Haru**
It's okay. I'm glad you're all right.
**[14:46] (Flashback) Natsuya**
They're keeping you here for a
while to be on the safe side.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Natsuya**
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.
**[15:08] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Next summer...
**[15:10] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I swear I'll get stronger.
**[15:13] (Flashback) Ikuya**
For the team, and individually, too.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Ikuya**
I'll get strong enough
to compete against you.
**[15:20] (Flashback) Ikuya**
So...
**[15:26] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Promise you'll race me
in freestyle next summer.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Haru**
Okay.
**[15:36] (Flashback) ---**
I promise.
**[15:44] Asahi**
That guy with the glasses
from Shimo U was a real jerk.
**[15:48] Asahi**
We didn't get to see Ikuya, either.
**[15:50] Kisumi**
Well, we were the ones who
went over and butted in.
**[15:52] Voice**
*The entrants in the men's 200m individual
medley finals are now entering.*
**[15:56] Makoto**
Oh, it's starting.
**[15:58] Makoto**
This is Ikuya's IM.
**[16:00] Asahi**
Ikuya...
**[16:07] Voice**
*Take your marks.*
**[16:10] Crowd**
Go!
**[16:15] Makoto**
He's fast!
**[16:15] Asahi**
That's an incredible butterfly!
**[16:22] Makoto**
His strokes are powerful.
**[16:24] Asahi**
When did Ikuya get so...
**[16:27] Hiyori**
Leave it to Ikuya.
**[16:29] Hiyori**
This could be a tournament record.
**[16:37] Asahi**
Haru's freestyle...
**[16:39] Makoto**
The rhythm of his strokes
does look similar...
**[16:41] Makoto**
But he's not just copying him.
**[16:46] Kisumi**
Didn't Ikuya
**[16:48] Kisumi**
swim the breaststroke back in middle school?
**[16:52] Asahi**
Yeah, that was his main.
**[16:54] Haru**
In the summer of our first year, he
said he wanted to get better at free.
**[16:58] Makoto**
It's not just his freestyle.
**[17:00] Makoto**
He's mastered the butterfly
and backstroke, too.
**[17:03] Higashi**
Why do you only swim freestyle?
**[17:07] Asahi**
You're the guy from...
**[17:08] Higashi**
Is that really all you want to do?
**[17:12] Higashi**
Just give it some thought.
**[17:15] Asahi**
What's his deal, anyway?
**[17:17] Haru**
No idea...
**[17:18] Kisumi**
Maybe he's a scout or a coach or something.
**[17:21] Makoto**
You think so?
**[17:23] Asahi**
Wait, I almost forgot! Ikuya!
**[17:27] Makoto**
Where's the locker room?
**[17:28] Asahi**
This way!
**[17:32] Asahi**
He's not here...
**[17:34] Makoto**
But his race just ended.
**[17:36] Makoto**
Maybe he'll show up if we wait here a while?
**[17:38] Kisumi**
We're acting kind of like stalkers, huh?
**[17:48] Hiyori**
Ikuya.
**[17:50] Ikuya**
Hiyori...
**[17:51] Hiyori**
Let's take off.
**[17:54] Ikuya**
What's your hurry?
**[17:55] ---**
There are still other races.
**[17:58] Hiyori**
Well, ours are over, so why not?
**[18:00] Hiyori**
Here, I brought your stuff.
**[18:03] Ikuya**
Why would you...
**[18:04] Hiyori**
Why don't we go get something to eat?
**[18:07] Hiyori**
I'll let the other guys know.
**[18:13] Ikuya**
Has your time in the 200m
backstroke improved again?
**[18:17] Hiyori**
It's still nowhere near yours.
**[18:19] Hiyori**
But you know, you were
seriously incredible today!
**[18:23] Hiyori**
You should let Natsuya-kun
know as soon as you can.
**[18:26] Ikuya**
There's no hurry.
**[18:27] ---**
He's in another time zone.
**[18:30] Hiyori**
Oh, yeah.
**[18:31] Hiyori**
Hey, want to try this cake?
**[18:33] Hiyori**
It has pistachio cream, your favorite!
**[18:36] Hiyori**
Maybe I'll get that, too...
**[18:39] Ikuya**
Hiyori, you're acting weird today.
**[18:43] Hiyori**
I'm always weird.
**[18:47] Makoto**
We didn't get to see him...
***SIGN*** Cold

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

Nothing, really. Just a wake-up call.
**[00:35] Hiyori**
* I wanted to make sure you*

**[00:38] Ikuya**
I won't be late.

I hope not.

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.

**[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**

**[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?

You can keep coming back,
but I won't change my mind.

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.

Huh?
**[00:03] Ikuya**
Far from the land where human beings lived,
**[00:10] Ikuya**
at the bottom of the ocean, which
was so clear, like purest glass,
**[00:14] Ikuya**
there was the mermaids' kingdom.

**[02:11] Asahi**
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
movie with my girlfriend.
**[03:22] Terashima**
We're seeing *Life of a Mouse 2*.

**[03:31] Terashima**
What? You guys know Misae-san?
**[03:34] Asahi**
Her name's Misae-san?
***SIGN*** Is Misae-san's boyfriend
**[03:36] [SONG] Text**
a guy called Archerfish?
***SIGN*** Yeah! She did call him that!
**[03:39] Asahi**

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

**[18:35] Makoto**
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.
**[00:54] Gou**
Shizuru-kun, are you o—
**[00:57] Gou**
Shizuru-kun!
**[00:57] Romio**
Hey, Shizuru!
**[00:57] Nagisa**
Shizu-chan!
**[00:59] Ayumu**
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.
**[07:21] Romio**

**[07:35] Sousuke**
Are you afraid of starting?
**[07:39] Nagisa**
Sou-chan...
**[07:41] Nagisa**
Is that true, Romi-chan?
**[07:43] Romio**
No, I... Um...
**[07:45] Sousuke**
You can't get the timing right, can you?
**[07:54] Rei**
Romio-kun seemed a bit down.
**[07:58] Gou**
Now that you mention it...
**[08:01] Rei**
Shizuru-kun, do you have any idea why?
**[08:06] Shizuru**
Well, I think...
**[08:09] Both**
He false-started?
**[08:11] Shizuru**
Yeah, and...
**[08:13] Shizuru**
that ended up being our last
middle school tournament...
**[08:20] Shizuru**
I think he just doesn't want to make the
same mistake again in high school.
**[08:24] Shizuru**
But it may be that having
so many people around
**[08:27] Shizuru**
reminds him of that race.
**[08:30] Shizuru**
It was a really important race...
**[08:33] Romio**
So ever since then, I've
been afraid of starting.
**[08:38] Nagisa**
Romi-chan...
**[08:40] Sousuke**
Don't just look directly ahead of you.
**[08:42] Sousuke**
Envision what happens after you dive in.
**[08:47] Sousuke**
What's your reason for diving in?
**[08:56] Guy**
Wow, it all looks so good!
**[08:58] Guy**
Their manager made curry,
too. I think it's over there.
**[09:02] Gou**
Here you go.
**[09:04] Amakata**
Kunikida-san's curry is going
over really well, huh?
**[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.
**[11:03] Rei**
Actually, we of Iwatobi have
a plan we'd like to propose.

**[11:11] Girl**
All right, everyone, meet your new coach.
**[11:15] Makoto**
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!
**[17:26] Guy**
Momo's ahead!
**[17:27] Guy**
That's the way, Momotarou!
**[17:29] Guy**
Aoba! Don't lose this!

**[17:52] Goro**
That's the way, Nagisa!
**[17:56] Rei**
Romio-kun.
**[17:59] Rei**
No matter what happens,
**[18:01] Rei**
I'll hand you a good position in the race.
**[18:03] Rei**
So dive in with all you've got.
**[18:12] Nagisa**
Rei-chan!
**[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.
**[18:33] Romio**
*All of us...*
**[18:35] (Flashback) Rei**
No matter what happens,
**[18:36] (Flashback) Rei**
I'll hand you a good position in the race.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Nagisa**
Just trust us, your teammates,
and dive in with all you've got.
**[18:44] Guy**
They're neck-and-neck!
**[18:50] (Flashback) Sousuke**
What's your reason for diving in?
**[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!
**[19:26] Momo**
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.
**[20:16] Rei**
The four of us!
**[20:18] All**
Yeah!
**[20:22] Natsuya**
Yamazaki.
**[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.
**[21:29] Natsuya**
Take care. I will, too.
**[21:33] Sousuke**
Yeah.
**[21:38] Natsuya**
Well, I'm sure he'll be fine.
**[21:49] Misaki**
Coach Tachibana!
**[21:51] Makoto**
What is it?
**[21:52] Misaki**
Look! That's the coach who moved away before!
**[21:58] Makoto**
Nao-senpai?
**[22:04] Nagisa**
The past: a time and place
that has passed us by.
**[22:07] Rei**
The future: an illusion that
gives us hope and expectation.

**[01:07] Hiyori**

Was my time worse?
**[03:37] Ikuya**
My freestyle's lousy today.
**[03:46] Terashima**
Kirishima, you up for karaoke?
**[03:48] Terashima**
You haven't heard me sing yet, right?
**[03:50] Sagae**
He does a dance while yodeling, you know.
**[03:53] Sagae**
He's like, "Yodelay-hee-hoo!"
**[03:56] Terashima**
I sing it while I'm swimming, too.
**[03:58] Sagae**
No way!
**[03:59] Sagae**
So c'mon, join us.
**[04:02] Ikuya**
Sorry. I can't today.
**[04:06] Hiyori**
Ik—
**[04:06] Hoshikawa**
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**

**[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...

Oh, there is one book I like, though.
**[08:06] (Flashback) Hiyori**
Really? Which one?
**[08:08] (Flashback) Ikuya**
*The Little Mermaid*.

**[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**

**[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**

**[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.
**[14:21] Asahi**
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**
We pursue strength to protect ourselves.

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.

I'm so bored.
**[02:39] Kisumi**
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
**[02:52] ---**
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...
**[03:13] Asahi**
What'd I miss?

We were talking about how you guys

**[03:18] Asahi**
That's right! I'm starting practice
first thing tomorrow, too!
**[03:21] Asahi**
Anyway, Sis, food!
**[03:24] Akane**
Sorry, it looks like we're
short on supplies for dinner,
**[03:27] Akane**
so I'll have to go shopping.
**[03:29] Akane**
Watch Tsukushi, would you?
**[03:30] Asahi**
Sure.
**[03:32] Akane**
Oh, you'd rather go to Kisumi-kun?
**[03:34] Kisumi**
Hey, cut that out.
**[03:36] Asahi**
That's... kind of infuriating...

Okay, he's all yours.

Hey, come on, Tsukushi, keep stil—
**[03:45] Kisumi**
Asahi, are you okay?!
**[03:46] Asahi**
That's a pretty good kick you've got...
**[03:50] Higashi**
Well, I'm on bike, so I'll be off.
**[03:53] Higashi**
Don't forget, you owe me some cafeteria soba.
**[03:57] Higashi**
See ya.
**[04:00] Makoto**
He might actually be a decent guy.
**[04:02] Haru**
Maybe.
**[04:05] Makoto**
That surprised me, though.
**[04:07] Makoto**
I never expected you to suggest
that kind of practice yourself.
**[04:11] Haru**
I'm not sure about it, either.
**[04:14] Haru**
But...
**[04:15] Haru**
It's for Ikuya.
**[04:20] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[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?

Did you have a fight?
**[05:38] Ikuya**
Nothing like that.

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.

He's in a slump, though, isn't he?
**[06:23] Unida**
He is?
**[06:24] Suzuki**
I'm in a slump, too! My

**[06:27] Mikoshiba**
Only athletes who once reached

**[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

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.
**[08:35] Makoto**
Um...
**[08:36] Higashi**
Yes?

**[08:51] Ikuya**
*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.
**[09:56] (Flashback) Hiyori**
Didn't the little mermaid...
turn into foam at the end?
**[10:01] (Flashback) Hiyori**
I'm actually not that fond of it.
**[10:07] Ikuya**
*I...*
**[10:09] Ikuya**
*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.

**[12:14] Kazu**
I remember the time I
spent training in Tokyo...
**[12:17] Sousuke**
Didn't you say you are who you are now

**[12:22] Kazu**
That was when I was trying

After that, I went to Mexico,

at the newcomer tournament.
**[13:09] Makoto**
Sorry! It took a while to get ready!
**[13:13] Kisumi**
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,
and of course, you and me.
**[13:25] Kisumi**
Do you think there's something I can do?
**[13:30] Makoto**
Just have faith and keep an eye on us.
**[13:33] Kisumi**
Sure!
**[13:34] Kisumi**
All right, then...
**[13:35] Kisumi**
We're off to see the college championships!
**[13:41] Coach**
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.
**[13:51] Coach**
Your times today will determine
whether you make it to the All-Japan.
**[13:55] Coach**
Keep your spirits up...
**[13:58] Coach**
and give it all you've got!
**[13:59] All**
Yes, sir!
**[14:11] Asahi**
Whoa, check this out...
**[14:13] Asahi**
I guess it's time, huh?
**[14:15] Haru**
Yeah.
**[14:16] Natsuya**
Sure is exciting, isn't it?
**[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.
**[14:57] Natsuya**
I'm rooting for you.
**[14:58] ---**

**[15:00] Both**

Found any good swimmers?
**[15:05] Higashi**
Hard to say.
**[15:06] Higashi**
But these days, my top preference is...
**[15:09] Higashi**
this.

**[15:15] Makoto**
Look at all these people...
**[15:17] Kisumi**
They look way more enthusiastic
than the newcomer tournament crowd.
**[15:20] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[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.
***SIGN*** I beat the base time for the All-Japan Invitational. I'm swimming in the 100m butterfly and 100m freestyle.

**[16:05] Rei**
Rin-san really is amazing! Congratulations!
**[16:08] Gou**
Thanks!
**[16:10] Nagisa**
If he's in the 100m freestyle,
he'll be racing with Haru-chan.
**[16:13] Rei**
Yes! We'll finally get to see
Haruka-senpai and Rin-san
**[16:17] Rei**
face each other on the All-Japan level!
**[16:21] Nagisa**
Awesome! We'll have to go and
cheer them on when they do!

It's Haruka-kun's turn in the
final for the 100m freestyle!

***SIGN*** Nanase Haruka Hidaka

**[17:14] Akane**
Uh, sorry...
**[17:17] Kon**
He was literally ahead...

No, about seven heads in front of the pack.

Fitting for the "seven" in "Nanase."

Toono-kun isn't just good at the backstroke.

freestyle at the All-Japan Invitational!

**[19:06] Asahi**
I finally get to talk to you.
**[19:09] Asahi**
How've you been?
**[19:10] Ikuya**
Not bad, I guess.
**[19:12] Asahi**
There was so much I wanted to tell you.
**[19:16] Natsuya**
I saw Natsuya-senpai in the arena, too.
**[19:20] Ikuya**
I see.
**[19:22] Ikuya**
I haven't seen him in a while.
**[19:24] Ikuya**
I haven't put up any results I can
be proud enough of to tell him about.
**[19:29] Asahi**
Ikuya, are you okay?
**[19:31] Asahi**
Haru and Makoto have been
worried about you, too.
**[19:34] Asahi**
We even went to your college
campus to try to see you.
**[19:37] Asahi**
But that four-eyed jerk
kept getting in the way.
**[19:41] Asahi**
What's that guy's deal?
**[19:43] Ikuya**
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**
*Stronger...*
**[21:19] ---**
*Stronger...*
**[21:21] Ikuya**
*Right now, that's the only answer for me.*
**[21:28] Ikuya**
Haru? Why...
**[21:31] Haru**
This was the only way I could swim with you.
**[21:35] Haru**
Don't say you can do it all alone.
**[21:38] Haru**
You're not alone.
**[21:41] Kon**
Huh?
**[21:42] Natsuya**
Haruka's in the individual medley?

**[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.

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.

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!

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!
**[16:24] Ikuya**

**[16:43] Hiyori**
I guess I lost.
**[16:46] Haru**
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**

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.

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.

Your swimming is amazing,

I aspire to swim just like you do!

Please have a freestyle race with me!

Come on, Nanase. Race her.

If you want a race that badly, I'll race you.

How about 1500m freestyle? It'll be fun!

**[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

And you were the one who said,
"Humans evolved to live on land."
**[11:29] Gou**
You've evolved more than anyone, Rei-kun.

Um, I also
**[11:34] Ayumu**
want to go to the nationals.

I want to be in a tournament

I want to eat Tokyo seafood.

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.

*Dreams...*
**[11:54] Romio**
I'm not sure I'd want that...
**[11:54] Rei**
* I wonder where I'll be next*

**[11:56] Ayumu**
It would definitely be very fatty.

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

**[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...

He went to high school at
Samezuka Academy, didn't he?
**[14:04] Makoto**
Yeah.

Now he's going to school in Australia
**[14:08] Makoto**
and swimming with a club team in Sydney.

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?

make it to the nationals for sure.
**[15:51] Rin**
Keep working hard and don't slack off.
**[15:53] All**

have surgery on his shoulder...

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.

**[18:25] Makoto**
Relax a little more.
**[18:26] Misaki**
Okay...
**[18:29] Misaki**
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.
**[19:17] Makoto**
Enjoy swimming with that kind
of rival to the fullest.
**[19:25] Makoto**
So that's Natsume-kun?

really be going places by next year.

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.

Wait... If you're here, that

got some of the best there is.

***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!
***SIGN*** Milk
**[02:12] Makoto**

**[02:19] Shizuru**
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!
**[02:31] Nagisa**
That's right!

**[02:51] Haru**
Not really.
**[02:53] Ryuuji**
Good to hear.
**[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**
Makoto-senpai!
**[04:10] Makoto**

Yeah, but it's a tall, thick
wall between here and there.

* 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...*

**[00:36] ---**
Okay, everyone!
**[00:38] ---**
On that big piece of paper you just got,
**[00:40] ---**
try drawing what you'd like
to be when you grow up.
**[00:43] ---**
Okay!
**[00:47] ---**
What're you drawing?
**[00:49] ---**
Wow, that's good.
**[00:52] ---**
But, a fish...?
**[00:53] ---**
Yeah, because I want to swim more freely.
**[00:57] ---**
Freely?
**[00:59] ---**
Yeah, more...
**[01:02] ---**
...like myself...
**[01:04] ---**
Freely...
**[01:29] ---**
Oh, it's so pretty!
**[01:31] ---**
I heard there'll be a
lot of shooting stars tonight!
**[01:35] ---**
Really?
**[01:37] ---**
Aren't they pretty?
**[01:39] ---**
Hey, Mako-*chan*, do you have a wish?
**[01:41] ---**
Huh? Um...
**[01:44] ---**
I'm gonna get a gold medal, for sure!
**[01:49] ---**
Gold...?
**[01:50] ---**
Yeah! I'll compete against
amazing swimmers across the world.
**[01:55] ---**
And I'll win.
**[01:57] ---**
That's my dream right now.
**[02:01] ---**
Wow, Rin!
**[02:03] ---**
Rin, you're amazing.
**[02:05] ---**
To be able to say exactly
what you want to do like that.
**[02:07] ---**
Makoto, you have a dream, too, don't you?
**[02:10] ---**
And Nagisa, too?
**[02:11] ---**
Yeah!
**[02:12] ---**
I want to be friends with everyone, forever!
**[02:17] ---**
I want to have a lot of fun
and smile more and more
**[02:21] ---**
and have fun swimming.
**[02:23] ---**
That's why I'm super happy
we can look at the stars together like this.
**[02:28] ---**
Because I love all of you!
**[02:30] ---**
Nagisa...
**[02:31] ---**
That's very like you. It's nice.
**[02:34] ---**
What about you, Makoto?
**[02:38] ---**
I want to keep swimming, too.
**[02:41] ---**
Swimming is fun, after all,
**[02:43] ---**
and I was able to meet everyone through it.
**[02:46] ---**
I don't know how to say it,
**[02:48] ---**
but I feel a connection...
**[02:50] ---**
That's why, even though
I don't know what the future will bring,
**[02:54] ---**
I want to keep swimming.
**[02:56] ---**
I'm the same as you, Nagisa.
**[02:58] ---**
Don't worry, you can become
the person you want to be, Makoto!
**[03:02] ---**
Thanks, Rin.
**[03:04] ---**
What about you, Haru?
**[03:05] ---**
Are you aiming for a gold medal, too?
**[03:09] ---**
Medal...
**[03:10] ---**
Yeah, Haru, you can compete
against the fastest guy in the world!
**[03:15] ---**
Isn't it exciting just thinking about it?
**[03:18] ---**
It might not happen for a long time,
**[03:20] ---**
but you should practice a lot
**[03:23] ---**
and aim for the world with me, Haru!
**[03:30] ---**
I...
**[03:34] ---**
It was sudden, huh?
**[03:35] ---**
Huh?
**[03:36] ---**
His transferring schools.
**[03:37] ---**
Yeah...
**[03:38] ---**
To transfer at this time of year,
**[03:40] ---**
saying there was someone
he wanted to swim with...
**[03:43] ---**
I don't get Rin at all...
**[03:45] ---**
Yeah... It's a little frustrating,
**[03:48] ---**
but if he's going to keep swimming,
**[03:50] ---**
then I feel like I can't lose, either.
**[03:52] ---**
Like a rival?
**[03:54] ---**
Yeah, I don't know
what future is waiting for me,
**[04:01] ---**
but no matter what difficulties are waiting,
**[04:05] ---**
I want to believe in myself
and keep working hard
**[04:09] ---**
to achieve my dream!
**[04:14] ---**
I see. You're strong, Sosuke.
**[04:17] ---**
Of course I am.
**[04:21] ---**
Even in my new team,
**[04:22] ---**
I will definitely do well in my new team, too!
**[04:26] ---**
Big Bro, what do you mean,
look at the world more?
**[04:29] ---**
I hate swimming.
**[04:32] ---**
But even though I hate it...
**[04:35] ---**
...why do I keep swimming?
**[04:39] ---**
Sorry, I'm skipping club tomorrow.
**[04:42] ---**
You sound down. Did you fight with Ikuya again?
**[04:45] ---**
Shut up.
**[04:46] ---**
He can't just keep chasing my back.
**[04:50] ---**
It won't help him improve.
**[04:52] ---**
Even though you say that,
you're worried about him, right?
**[04:57] ---**
I'm sure, one day,
Ikuya will understand how you feel...
**[05:05] ---**
You're proud of your little brother, right?
**[05:07] ---**
Nao! I'm hanging up.
**[05:11] ---**
Mikhail, your swimming was excellent, as usual.
**[05:14] ---**
What do you usually think
about when you're practicing?
**[05:18] ---**
Well, "victory will only come
to those who believe in themselves."
**[05:23] ---**
It's one of my favorite sayings.
**[05:34] ---**
Did you think it was beautiful?
**[05:36] ---**
Big Brother?!
**[05:38] ---**
No, I just happened to see it...
**[05:41] ---**
Rei, you're thinking too much.
**[05:44] ---**
Be more honest with yourself.
**[05:46] ---**
You were jealous, right?
**[05:48] ---**
Not really...
**[05:50] ---**
I can't swim, anyway.
**[05:52] ---**
Just because you can't
right now doesn't mean anything.
**[05:55] ---**
It's nice to dream a little sometimes, Rei.
**[06:00] ---**
Dream...
**[06:04] ---**
My future...
**[06:09] ---**
Who I'll be from now on...
**[06:17] ---**
My dream...
**[06:20] ---**
Yes! That is my dream and my wish!
**[06:24] ---**
It's tomorrow, isn't it?

Huh?
**[10:35] ---**
Nanase, what are you doing here?
**[10:38] ---**
I heard from Kon-*san*.
**[10:40] ---**
Are you on your way back from practice?
**[10:41] ---**
Yeah. You're a coach, right?
**[10:45] ---**
So what if I am?
**[10:47] ---**
I want you to look at my turns
for the individual medley.
**[10:49] ---**
There's not much time before tournament.
**[10:52] ---**
I thought you only swam freestyle?
**[10:55] ---**
It might mess up your balance.
**[10:57] ---**
Are you ready for that?
**[11:01] ---**
Up until now...
**[11:03] ---**
I was always content just to be in the water...
**[11:06] ---**
I thought that was enough...
**[11:15] ---**
But if I'd always been alone,
**[11:18] ---**
I wouldn't be who I am now.
**[11:21] ---**
Come on.
**[11:22] ---**
I won't be able to teach you anything
more than the basics, though.
**[11:28] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[11:30] ---**
Be quiet.
**[11:33] ---**
Stronger...
**[11:35] ---**
I have to get even stronger...
**[11:39] ---**
Like Haru...
**[11:43] ---**
Ikuya,
**[11:44] ---**
are you sure you're doing okay?
**[11:48] ---**
I'm not sure about it, either.
**[11:51] ---**
But...
**[11:52] ---**
It's for Ikuya.
**[11:54] ---**
Ikuya!
**[11:55] ---**
Are you all right?!
**[11:57] ---**
I'm fine.
**[11:58] ---**
I'm fine, okay?
**[12:00] ---**
That all sounds impressive,
**[12:02] ---**
but maybe it's time you took
a serious approach yourself.
**[12:06] ---**
Both to swimming and to Ikuya.
**[12:09] ---**
I could see them back then.
**[12:13] ---**
You can become who you want to be!
**[12:18] ---**
You're strong, Ikuya.
**[12:20] ---**
That's why...
**[12:25] ---**
It's not your concern, Hiyori!
**[12:31] ---**
Why?
**[12:33] ---**
Why did it turn out like this?
**[12:38] ---**
I can't really explain it,
**[12:40] ---**
but if you swam with Haru, you'd understand.
**[12:44] ---**
He has something special when he's in the water.
**[12:49] ---**
I finally get to talk to you.
**[12:52] ---**
How've you been?
**[12:55] ---**
Thanks.
**[12:57] ---**
I'm glad I got to see you, Asahi.
**[12:59] ---**
Ikuya...
**[13:02] ---**
I have to get stronger.
**[13:04] ---**
I have to get stronger and not rely on anyone.
**[13:13] ---**
Haru? Why...
**[13:15] ---**
This was the only way I could swim with you.
**[13:19] ---**
Don't say you can do it all alone.
**[13:22] ---**
You're not alone.
**[13:25] ---**
Haruka's in the individual medley?
**[13:28] ---**
This should be a good race.
**[13:31] ---**
Now, let's see the
results of your extra training.
**[13:36] ---**
Take your marks.
**[13:39] ---**
Go!
**[13:44] ---**
Wow, the butterfly!
**[13:45] ---**
Haru's amazing!
**[13:47] ---**
But...
**[13:48] ---**
Ikuya is...
**[13:50] ---**
That doesn't seem like him at all.
**[13:52] ---**
It's like he's fighting with the water.
**[13:58] ---**
Haruka's improved his turn.
**[14:02] ---**
You'd never know it was
his first time doing this event.
**[14:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:08] ---**
Why can't I swim the way I mean to?
**[14:10] ---**
The water... feels heavy...
**[14:21] ---**
Haru?
**[14:24] ---**
The sound of water...
**[14:25] ---**
A liberated sound.
**[14:27] ---**
He doesn't pin himself down,
and he's not bound by speed.
**[14:33] ---**
Can someone really be this free?
**[14:38] ---**
Haru hasn't changed at all since then.
**[14:42] ---**
I'm the one who's changed.
**[14:45] ---**
Before I knew it,
I'd built a cage around my heart.
**[14:50] ---**
But...
**[14:51] ---**
I think I finally understand
why I kept clinging to swimming.
**[14:58] ---**
It's not about getting stronger
so I can carry on alone.
**[15:02] ---**
If I'm not gaining that strength
for someone else, there's no point.
**[15:05] ---**
That's what true strength is.
**[15:08] ---**
And gaining that has to be what it really means
**[15:11] ---**
to be free!
**[15:14] ---**
The water's changed...
**[15:22] ---**
Ikuya...
**[15:24] ---**
...is back!
**[15:32] ---**
Both of you!
**[15:33] ---**
Go!
**[15:47] ---**
All right!
**[15:50] ---**
Haru.
**[15:53] ---**
I'm back.
**[15:56] ---**
Welcome back.
**[15:59] ---**
I finally kept my promise to you.
**[16:05] ---**
You remembered...
**[16:09] ---**
I'd never forget that.
**[16:15] ---**
Haru...
**[16:17] ---**
Haru!
**[16:25] ---**
Looks like everything's okay now.
**[16:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:31] ---**
It does.
**[16:38] ---**
Hey, there you are!
**[16:39] ---**
Asahi... Makoto...
**[16:42] ---**
What were you guys talking about?
**[16:43] ---**
Huh?
**[16:44] ---**
What we wished for
the night of our training camp.
**[16:46] ---**
Wha...? Haru!
**[16:48] ---**
Really? Hey, Ikuya, tell us about it!
**[16:51] ---**
I wanna hear it, too!
**[16:54] ---**
That night, I wished
**[16:56] ---**
that I'd become like Haru.
**[16:59] ---**
That I could become a hero like Haru.
**[17:01] ---**
A hero?
**[17:03] ---**
Yeah. Not a hero that fights evil and stuff,
**[17:06] ---**
but the kind that everyone looks up to.
**[17:09] ---**
The kind that helps out
whenever someone is lost or stuck.
**[17:14] ---**
What even...
**[17:16] ---**
Haru's embarrassed!
**[17:17] ---**
I am not.
**[17:19] ---**
You might be someone's hero already, Ikuya.
**[17:23] ---**
I don't...
**[17:24] ---**
Yeah, that's true!
**[17:26] ---**
You just don't realize it.
**[17:28] ---**
Just like Haru.
**[17:30] ---**
Makoto...
**[17:31] ---**
Heroes don't see themselves as heroes.
That's what makes them heroes.
**[17:36] ---**
And now that I've wrapped that up so nicely...
**[17:39] ---**
Is that for you to say?
**[17:41] ---**
Shall we head back? There are still more races.
**[17:45] ---**
And isn't there something you'd like
to tell your friends from Shimo U?
**[17:49] ---**
Yeah...
**[17:51] ---**
Go on, Ikuya.
**[18:01] ---**
Hiyori...
**[18:04] ---**
You really are amazing, Ikuya.
**[18:07] ---**
You come through when it really counts.
**[18:13] ---**
Hiyori, I was thinking...
**[18:16] ---**
I want to swim relays again.
**[18:21] ---**
With Nanase?
**[18:23] ---**
No!
**[18:25] ---**
That's not what I mean!
**[18:28] ---**
I thought about it, and I realized
we've never done a relay together.
**[18:34] ---**
But I feel like I can do a proper exchange now,
**[18:38] ---**
if it's with you...
**[18:41] ---**
Come on. Swim with me, Hiyori.
**[18:50] ---**
Okay, Ikuya.
**[19:01] ---**
Take your marks.
**[19:05] ---**
Go!
**[19:07] ---**
Go, Nii-*chan*!
**[19:18] ---**
Go, Kiryuu!
**[19:23] ---**
Asahi, are you actually nervous?
**[19:26] ---**
Not a chance.
**[19:27] ---**
I bet you're freaking out, though, huh?
**[19:29] ---**
I'm fine. I practiced
telling myself in the mirror,
**[19:33] ---**
"I'm a genius. I'm a genius."
**[19:37] ---**
Familiar?
**[19:38] ---**
Wha...?
**[19:39] ---**
You jerk! Don't copy me!
**[19:46] ---**
Shiina!
**[19:47] ---**
Kirishima!
**[19:57] ---**
Trust your friend.
**[20:01] ---**
Trust Ikuya.
**[20:03] ---**
I don't need you to tell me.
**[20:05] ---**
I do trust him.
**[20:11] ---**
Hiyori!
**[20:15] ---**
Haru!
**[20:24] ---**
This is...
**[20:26] ---**
...what Ikuya felt in Nanase's freestyle.
**[20:33] ---**
If you swam with Haru, you'd understand.
**[20:38] ---**
I think it would make it
easier for you to swim, too.
**[20:43] ---**
I can just be me in the water...
**[20:47] ---**
Hiyori!
**[20:50] ---**
Hiyori!
**[20:55] ---**
I think I understand now...
**[20:58] ---**
A little more about Nanase
**[21:00] ---**
and Ikuya, too.
**[21:04] ---**
Toono's gaining speed!
**[21:10] ---**
Hiyori!
**[21:10] ---**
Toono!
**[21:13] ---**
Haru!
**[21:13] ---**
Nanase!
***SIGN*** "Shimogami University" "Hidaka University" "Keirinkan University"
**[21:28] ---**
I guess I lost.
**[21:32] ---**
In freestyle, maybe.
**[21:37] ---**
Ikuya...
**[21:41] ---**
Hiyori, thanks for swimming with me.
**[21:49] ---**
That's my line.
**[21:52] ---**
Thanks!
**[21:58] ---**
Nanase-*kun* really is amazing.
**[22:01] ---**
He has room for improvement.
**[22:02] ---**
Huh?
**[22:05] ---**
Are you saying he can transform even more?
**[22:08] ---**
We'll just have to look forward
to seeing what he transforms into.
**[22:16] ---**
Hey, Hiyori.
**[22:19] ---**
Back when I was in kindergarten...
**[22:23] ---**
At the swimming school I went to,
**[22:26] ---**
there was one kid who was always swimming alone.
**[22:31] ---**
I wanted to be that kid's friend,
**[22:35] ---**
but I had trouble bringing
myself to talk to him.
**[22:38] ---**
One day, I finally did,
**[22:41] ---**
and he...
**[22:44] ---**
...smiled at me.
**[22:47] ---**
It was a beautiful smile.
**[22:50] ---**
Was that kid...
**[22:57] ---**
I bet your smile was that kid's salvation.
**[23:05] ---**
You were a hero to him, Ikuya.
**[23:10] ---**
Hey.
**[23:11] ---**
Bro...
**[23:13] ---**
Nice job. Congratulations.
**[23:15] ---**
Thanks.
**[23:18] ---**
I'm sorry, Ikuya.
**[23:20] ---**
Why are you apologizing?
**[23:23] ---**
You're right. I need to thank you.
**[23:26] ---**
I have a new dream, thanks to you.
**[23:29] ---**
Huh?
**[23:30] ---**
A dream to take on the world with you someday.
**[23:34] ---**
A dream to be number one in the world.
**[23:36] ---**
Bro...
**[23:38] ---**
Are you crying?
**[23:39] ---**
Idiot! I'm not crying!
**[23:48] ---**
You look bored.
**[23:50] ---**
Nah.
**[23:52] ---**
Just thinking that I only ever
saw one side of Ikuya... Um...
**[23:57] ---**
Oh, I'm Shigino Kisumi.
**[23:59] ---**
Hey, want to join my basketball club?
**[24:04] ---**
I'll think about it.
**[24:28] ---**
Sorry to make you come with me.
**[24:30] ---**
It's fine. I wanted to get
a new swim towel, anyway.
**[24:38] ---**
It's a roasted green tea latte with boba.
**[24:41] ---**
You want to try some, Haru?
**[24:43] ---**
Yeah.
**[24:46] ---**
It tastes strange.
**[24:48] ---**
Tokyo has a lot of different stuff, huh, Haru?
**[24:51] ---**
You're getting too excited.
**[24:53] ---**
Haru, what's that?
**[24:54] ---**
I think it's a mackerel *poêlé* set meal.
**[24:58] ---**
Makoto, do you want some?
**[25:00] ---**
Yeah, thanks.
**[25:03] ---**
How's your part-time job at the pool?
**[25:04] ---**
Well, it's hard just
remembering everyone's names.
**[25:08] ---**
Oh, Misaki-*kun*'s going
to compete in the junior tournament.
**[25:12] ---**
I see.
**[25:13] ---**
Yeah, he said he doesn't want
to lose and is always practicing.
**[25:17] ---**
I really feel like I'm seeing the old Rin.
**[25:23] ---**
With training camp and everything,
you've really gotten busy, huh?
**[25:26] ---**
You're busy, too, aren't you?
**[25:29] ---**
Yeah, I might've been too eager
and signed up for too many classes.
**[25:32] ---**
Must be tough being a college student.
**[25:36] ---**
What's so funny?
**[25:38] ---**
You're saying it like it
has nothing to do with you.
**[25:44] ---**
It's almost time for practice.
**[25:46] ---**
Oh, right.
**[25:48] ---**
I'll talk to you later.
**[25:49] ---**
Okay, do your best!
**[25:53] ---**
Oh, I forgot to buy a book
for one of my classes...
**[26:05] ---**
Oh, good... they still have--
**[26:08] ---**
Sosuke?
**[26:10] ---**
Makoto...?
**[26:12] ---**
So you were in Tokyo?
**[26:13] ---**
Yeah. Are you getting used to things here yet?
**[26:17] ---**
No, not at all.
**[26:19] ---**
The trains and stations all have so many people.
**[26:23] ---**
When I came here in
high school to go to Tokitsu,
**[26:25] ---**
I was surprised everywhere I went, too.
**[26:27] ---**
Really?
**[26:29] ---**
You always seem so calm
so that's a little unexpected.
**[26:34] ---**
What do you think I am? Jeez.
**[26:37] ---**
Same goes for you, Makoto.
**[26:39] ---**
During the cultural festival,
you weren't what I expected either.
**[26:45] ---**
Th-There's nothing unexpected about me...
**[26:49] ---**
Well, let's just leave it at that.
**[26:53] ---**
The survival game was fun, huh?
**[26:56] ---**
Yeah. Thinking about it now,
I can't help but smile.
**[27:02] ---**
Sosuke, you look like a weight's
been lifted off your shoulders.
**[27:06] ---**
Actually, I was a little worried.
**[27:12] ---**
I'm thankful to you guys.
**[27:14] ---**
Huh?
**[27:16] ---**
Back then, I couldn't concentrate on anything.
**[27:21] ---**
I thought my dream had already come true
**[27:25] ---**
since I'd already used up everything I had.
**[27:28] ---**
But after messing around
with you guys, I felt a little lighter.
**[27:33] ---**
I also thought I understood a little
**[27:36] ---**
why Rin was so obsessed with the relay...
**[27:42] ---**
...and the truth about what I felt
when I watched your relay.
**[27:49] ---**
After Ai and the others
invited me to go on a trip,
**[27:52] ---**
and I met Natsuya-*san*,
and Ai and Momo encouraged me...
**[27:56] ---**
"Certain Victory"
**[27:59] ---**
...I felt like I remembered
my dream from when I was little.
**[28:03] ---**
My dream is to become stronger and stronger.
**[28:06] ---**
I want to compete somewhere amazing.
**[28:13] ---**
"If you give it your all,
you'll be able to swim again somewhere.
**[28:17] ---**
Don't crush your own possibilities."
**[28:21] ---**
Ai heard that from someone...
**[28:24] ---**
Sosuke...
**[28:26] ---**
Besides, I thought it was
about time I gave an answer...
**[28:31] ---**
I've gotta go.
**[28:34] ---**
I decided to get surgery in Tokyo.
**[28:37] ---**
I don't know if I'll be able
to swim like I could before, though.
**[28:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[28:44] ---**
I can't lose to you either, Sosuke.
**[28:46] ---**
Huh?
**[28:48] ---**
I feel like I need to work
harder on my studies and stuff.
**[28:51] ---**
What're you saying, all of a sudden?
**[28:52] ---**
It's because I was reminded that you're amazing.
**[28:56] ---**
What the heck?
**[28:58] ---**
Once things calm down again,
let's get something to eat, Makoto.
**[29:01] ---**
Yeah, I'd love to.
**[29:05] ---**
Man, Haruka-*senpai* was so cool
at the college championships!
**[29:10] ---**
Yeah, he swam like seaweed.
**[29:12] ---**
He was amazing in the individual medley, too,
**[29:14] ---**
but he was especially
amazing swimming freestyle...
**[29:16] ---**
It looked like he was one with the water.
**[29:19] ---**
It's like he was seaweed itself.
**[29:21] ---**
Do you mean he was waving around?
**[29:24] ---**
Ayumu, don't mind him.
**[29:26] ---**
Romio, don't get mad like a spiny lobster.
**[29:29] ---**
You don't have to compare everything
to things from the ocean!
**[29:31] ---**
But both of you swam
very well during the training camp.
**[29:37] ---**
Your exchanges were really smooth, too.
**[29:39] ---**
Well, it's thanks to
Captain Rei and Nagisa-*senpai*.
**[29:43] ---**
Normally, they're so nice,
**[29:44] ---**
but when there's a race,
it's like they become bloodthirsty.
**[29:47] ---**
Even though it's their
last summer of high school,
**[29:50] ---**
I just keep holding them back...
**[29:53] ---**
That's not true.
**[29:55] ---**
You're doing a good job.
**[29:57] ---**
Why're you talking down to me?
**[30:01] ---**
Thanks, you two.
**[30:03] ---**
The first step is to do our best
for the prefectural tournament!
**[30:05] ---**
Yeah.
**[30:05] ---**
Yes!
**[30:07] ---**
"Audiovisual Room"
**[30:07] ---**
Oh, Romi-*chan* and Shizu-*chan*
are both getting personal bests!
**[30:12] ---**
I feel like they're moving
differently in the water, too.
**[30:16] ---**
Hmm... They're doing better individually,
**[30:19] ---**
but recently, for the relays...
**[30:21] ---**
Their times are plateauing...
**[30:23] ---**
Not being able to get faster for
the relay gives me a sense of deja vu...
**[30:27] ---**
Maybe they need some motivation...
**[30:31] ---**
Um...
**[30:33] ---**
Hey, I brought some snacks!
**[30:37] ---**
Yum! These are delicious!
**[30:40] ---**
Thanks, Ama-*chan*!
**[30:42] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[30:43] ---**
You all shone so much during the training camp!
**[30:48] ---**
Yes, Romio-*kun*, Shizuru-*kun*,
and Ayumu-*chan* also worked really hard.
**[30:53] ---**
Yeah, yeah!
**[30:54] ---**
That's why I want to have as much fun as I can
**[30:57] ---**
during the medley relay coming up!
With everyone!
**[31:01] ---**
Don't you want to make
the best summer memories together?
**[31:04] ---**
You sounded like Rin-*chan* just now.
**[31:06] ---**
No way, really?
**[31:08] ---**
But you guys aren't getting
any faster in your relay, are you?
**[31:12] ---**
Yeah, that's the problem.
**[31:14] ---**
Romi-*chan* and Shizu-*chan*'s
kind natures come out in the relay...
**[31:19] ---**
Like they're holding back when they swim?
**[31:22] ---**
If only they could let more of themselves out...
**[31:25] ---**
Rei-*kun*, don't you think you're eating too much?
**[31:27] ---**
I'm sorry, I didn't eat much for lunch...
**[31:31] ---**
But it's hard, isn't it?
**[31:33] ---**
Most people are considerate to their elders...
**[31:36] ---**
Really?
**[31:37] ---**
Maybe they need some motivation...
**[31:40] ---**
Then, what if we all go bungee jumping together?
**[31:42] ---**
How about doing a muscle dance with everyone?
**[31:44] ---**
Oh, that sounds fun!
**[31:45] ---**
Yeah! Since we've got this chance,
**[31:47] ---**
we should do something
to deepen our bonds with each other!
**[31:53] ---**
That's not enough...
**[31:55] ---**
You should be more direct
when saying something important.
**[31:59] ---**
Even if it's a little forceful!
**[32:01] ---**
More beautifully!
**[32:03] ---**
And logically!
**[32:04] ---**
Rei-*chan*...?
**[32:06] ---**
Huh? What?
**[32:08] ---**
Do these snacks have liquor in them?
**[32:09] ---**
"Madeleines for Adults"
**[32:11] ---**
Huh? No way!
**[32:12] ---**
In the first place, logically, whether
something is beautiful or not to me is...
**[32:15] ---**
Could it be that Rei-*chan*'s...
**[32:17] ---**
...drunk?!
**[32:20] ---**
W-Wait, Ryugazaki-*kun*.
**[32:22] ---**
Calm down!
**[32:25] ---**
Excuse us!
**[32:26] ---**
We finished checking the equipment.
**[32:29] ---**
Huh?
**[32:29] ---**
Captain Rei...?
**[32:31] ---**
Everyone...
**[32:34] ---**
Be careful! Rei-*chan* got drunk
on snacks with liquor in them...
**[32:40] ---**
...so he's gotten really honest.
**[32:43] ---**
All of you joining the club
made me really happy!
**[32:47] ---**
Huh?!
**[32:48] ---**
I'm sure what connects our team... is love!
**[32:52] ---**
Oh, that's so embarrassing!
**[32:54] ---**
Wh-Wh-What is this?!
**[32:56] ---**
Ayumu-*san*!
**[32:57] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[32:58] ---**
Please come at us more!
**[33:01] ---**
Nagisa-*kun* and Gou-*san*
don't hold back at all, either!
**[33:05] ---**
I've been hit with a stray bullet!
**[33:07] ---**
Do you have any idea how much
I've been saved by that?
**[33:10] ---**
This is *so* embarrassing!
**[33:12] ---**
That's why!
**[33:14] ---**
Ayumu-*san*, you should also feel
free to be yourself, too!
**[33:17] ---**
Because the feelings you put into
your cooking are reaching everyone.
**[33:22] ---**
I-I'm happy, but it's embarrassing...
**[33:25] ---**
Shizuru-*kun*!
**[33:26] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[33:27] ---**
I understand wanting to swim
carefully without messing up.
**[33:30] ---**
But during the relay,
you seem really constrained.
**[33:35] ---**
You can be more free!
**[33:37] ---**
Be yourself! And relax!
**[33:40] ---**
Listen up, Romio-*kun*!
**[33:42] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[33:44] ---**
Haruka-*senpai* told me
that I could be more free.
**[33:49] ---**
He said, "You're free."
**[33:52] ---**
It might be the last summer
for us third years...
**[33:57] ---**
But this is a once-in-a-lifetime
summer for you all, too!
**[34:01] ---**
So I want you to swim more freely.
**[34:04] ---**
Swim like yourselves!
**[34:05] ---**
Beautifully!
**[34:06] ---**
And logically!
**[34:08] ---**
Because you're in the Iwatobi Swim Club.
**[34:13] ---**
Now, let's do our best starting
with tomorrow's practice!
**[34:17] ---**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[34:19] ---**
With the power of love!
**[34:21] ---**
Because I love you all!
**[34:24] ---**
It--
**[34:25] ---**
It really is embarrassing!
**[34:29] ---**
Sorry about Rei-*kun*...
**[34:31] ---**
It's fine! My eyes have
been opened thanks to him.
**[34:34] ---**
I think I was content just being able to dive.
**[34:39] ---**
I was also trying too hard not mess up.
**[34:41] ---**
Captain Rei's words struck a chord!
**[34:44] ---**
With me, too!
**[34:46] ---**
As for me, when they look back at this time,
**[34:50] ---**
I want them to think,
"I'm glad I could swim with these members."
**[34:54] ---**
Since we have a chance to swim
as a team. Right, Rei-*chan*?
**[34:59] ---**
I'll float like a clam and
sting like a squid when I swim.
**[35:04] ---**
I'll kick it up a gear!
**[35:06] ---**
I'll support you all with the traditional
Kunikida family honey lemons!
**[35:11] ---**
Aw, I wish you could've seen
how fired up those three were earlier.
**[35:20] ---**
Huh...?
**[35:22] ---**
Fight, you two!
**[35:24] ---**
What's the matter with everyone...?
**[35:27] ---**
Thank you very much for yesterday!
**[35:29] ---**
I feel like a tuna that was
stuck in my chest was removed!
**[35:32] ---**
We received your feelings!
**[35:35] ---**
Um...?
**[35:38] ---**
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What is this?!
**[35:43] ---**
Ryugazaki-*kun*, I didn't think
you could be so passionate!
**[35:46] ---**
No, I was just...
**[35:48] ---**
I've etched your words
into my heart, Captain Rei!
**[35:51] ---**
What?!
**[35:52] ---**
Me, too. I will never forget!
**[35:54] ---**
Me neither!
**[35:56] ---**
P-Please forget it right now...!
**[36:01] ---**
"15 days until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[36:10] ---**
"12 days until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[36:14] ---**
"All out funny face"
**[36:15] ---**
"All out angry face"
**[36:16] ---**
"All out smile"
**[36:21] ---**
"10 days until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[36:29] ---**
"6 days until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[36:37] ---**
"3 days until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[36:41] ---**
"2 days until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[36:44] ---**
"1 day until the prefectural tournament!!"
**[36:46] ---**
It's finally tomorrow, huh?
**[36:47] ---**
Yeah!
**[36:48] ---**
Everyone, let's make our hearts one--
**[36:51] ---**
Give everything we have--
**[36:53] ---**
And let's have some fun!
**[36:56] ---**
Iwatobi Swim Club, fight...!
**[36:59] ---**
Yeah!
**[37:09] ---**
"Nitori Aiichiro"
"Hazuki Nagisa"
**[37:21] ---**
"Ryugazaki Rei"
**[37:24] ---**
It's amazing!
**[37:26] ---**
Ryugazaki-*kun* and Hazuki-*kun*
have both made it to the regionals!
**[37:29] ---**
That's great!
**[37:31] ---**
Yes!
**[37:33] ---**
And now--
**[37:34] ---**
It's the finals for the medley relay?
**[37:37] ---**
Gou-*san*!
**[37:41] ---**
So shameless in front of everyone...
**[37:43] ---**
We'll show you the strength
of the evolved Samezuka!
**[37:47] ---**
That's just what we want, Ai-*chan*!
**[37:55] ---**
Take your marks...
**[37:58] ---**
Go!
**[38:00] ---**
Shizuru!
**[38:01] ---**
Shizu-*chan*!
**[38:04] ---**
That Momo took the lead in a flash!
**[38:08] ---**
That guy really is amazing!
**[38:10] ---**
Momo-*kun*'s underwater technique!
**[38:12] ---**
Shizuru-*kun*'s going into the turn, too!
**[38:17] ---**
Shizuru-*kun*'s gaining!
**[38:19] ---**
No, Momo's going to get faster from here!
**[38:23] ---**
Ai-*senpai*!
**[38:25] ---**
Nagisa-*senpai*!
**[38:29] ---**
Nagisa-*senpai*!
**[38:29] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*!
**[38:34] ---**
Romio-*kun*...
**[38:36] ---**
Let's have fun.
**[38:39] ---**
Yes.
**[38:43] ---**
Ai-*senpai*'s got a huge lead!
**[38:46] ---**
No, Nagisa-*kun* will show
what he's really made of now!
**[38:52] ---**
Nitori's tenaciousness
is on a different level, too!
**[38:59] ---**
Uozumi-*kun*!
**[39:01] ---**
Rei-*chan*!
**[39:09] ---**
It's beautiful...
**[39:10] ---**
Rei-*kun*'s extension!
**[39:12] ---**
Uocchi-*senpai*!
**[39:17] ---**
That guy's gotten better again...
**[39:21] ---**
Romi-*chan*.
**[39:22] ---**
Romio.
**[39:31] ---**
Romio-*kun*!
**[39:35] ---**
Romi-*chan*!
**[40:00] ---**
Romio-*kun*'s speeding up!
**[40:05] ---**
Romio!
**[40:05] ---**
Romi-*chan*!
**[40:05] ---**
Romi-*kun*!
**[40:11] ---**
"Samezuka Academy" "Iwatobi"
**[40:17] ---**
Good job.
**[40:18] ---**
First place! Woohoo!
**[40:37] ---**
That's amazing!
**[40:39] ---**
Next is regionals, right?
**[40:41] ---**
Yes!
**[40:42] ---**
I wanted to show you our races, too, Rin-*chan*!
**[40:46] ---**
You probably would've been moved to tears!
**[40:48] ---**
I don't cry that easily!
**[40:52] ---**
Jeez, you've gotten so strong.
**[40:56] ---**
Rei, you worked hard, too, huh?
**[40:58] ---**
I'm sure that with your strong feelings,
**[41:01] ---**
you'll be fine in your next race, too.
**[41:03] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[41:05] ---**
Rin-*san*, please do your best
at the All-Japan Invitational, too.
**[41:09] ---**
Thanks.
**[41:10] ---**
Are you going to be swimming
with swimmers invited from overseas?
**[41:14] ---**
Huh?
**[41:15] ---**
I heard there were foreign
swimmers who are in Japan
**[41:18] ---**
before the world championship.
**[41:20] ---**
No, I don't have plans to...
**[41:24] ---**
Whoa, nice attack!
**[41:26] ---**
You broke his guard with an overhead attack!
**[41:27] ---**
Yes! Now!
**[41:33] ---**
All right!
**[41:35] ---**
You're still the best, Mikoshiba.
**[41:37] ---**
Better believe it!
**[41:39] ---**
Swimming and fighting games
are the two things I live for!
**[41:45] ---**
Oh-ho? Who do we have now?
**[41:49] ---**
Mikoshiba Isuzu will take good care of you.
**[41:55] ---**
A foreigner?
**[41:56] ---**
He's been playing the
racing games like a pro lately.
**[42:00] ---**
Don't get too careless, Mikoshiba.
**[42:03] ---**
Did you forget how much of
my pocket change I've sunk into this game?
**[42:07] ---**
Don't underestimate me!
**[42:09] ---**
Here we go, partner!
**[42:15] ---**
He's blocking all your hits!
**[42:17] ---**
That's nice maneuvering...
**[42:19] ---**
He's just darting all over the place!
**[42:20] ---**
Well, then, I'll just have to finish this quick!
**[42:30] ---**
No way!
**[42:39] ---**
I-I'm just getting started!
**[42:41] ---**
Al, we gotta go.
**[42:44] ---**
Aw, man. It was just getting interesting.
**[42:49] ---**
Hey, wait!
**[42:55] ---**
I think...
**[42:56] ---**
I've seen him somewhere before...
**[43:00] ---**
Coach Tachibana!
**[43:02] ---**
Misaki-*kun*?
**[43:04] ---**
Will you look at my turn?
**[43:06] ---**
Weren't you just swimming laps earlier?
**[43:09] ---**
Are you sure you don't
want to rest a little first?
**[43:12] ---**
Yeah, but I want to beat
Natsume Kaoru no matter what.
**[43:16] ---**
He's your rival that moved away, right?
**[43:19] ---**
Yes.
**[43:20] ---**
His turns were really smooth,
**[43:23] ---**
and in the end, I couldn't beat him once.
**[43:26] ---**
That's why, next time, I--
**[43:28] ---**
Okay. Then, let's work
hard until you're satisfied.
**[43:32] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[43:34] ---**
"Comprehensive Sports Center"
**[43:35] ---**
I'd expect no less from an intensive
training with just invitational members.
**[43:38] ---**
There are some amazing guys here.
**[43:41] ---**
That's him, right? The first-year from Taka U.
**[43:44] ---**
Yeah. Nanase Haruka, freestyle swimmer.
**[43:47] ---**
I see you're focusing
on freestyle in today's practice.
**[43:51] ---**
Not doing the IM anymore?
**[43:52] ---**
That's right. Freestyle makes me
feel closest to the water.
**[43:57] ---**
I should've known you'd stick to freestyle!
**[43:59] ---**
That's typical you.
**[44:09] ---**
Hmm...
**[44:12] ---**
What's up?
**[44:13] ---**
How do you buy this?
**[44:15] ---**
"Miso-Braised Mackerel Set"
**[44:19] ---**
"Miso-Braised Mackerel Set"
**[44:23] ---**
Thanks!
**[44:24] ---**
Do you know how to order?
**[44:28] ---**
Two miso-braised mackerel sets for you?
**[44:31] ---**
Enjoy.
**[44:34] ---**
Let's eat.
**[44:48] ---**
One sec.
**[44:59] ---**
Impressive...
**[45:02] ---**
This is good!
**[45:07] ---**
Glad to hear it.
**[45:12] ---**
Albert...
**[45:13] ---**
Ralph, what's wrong?
**[45:15] ---**
What do you mean?
**[45:17] ---**
You always disappear on me.
**[45:19] ---**
Let's go.
**[45:21] ---**
Thanks. See ya later.
**[45:25] ---**
Sure.
**[45:28] ---**
Nii-*chan*'s training just about killed me!
**[45:32] ---**
Huh?
**[45:34] ---**
The guy from the arcade!
**[45:36] ---**
What's he doing here?
**[45:39] ---**
Now I remember!
**[45:40] ---**
He was the guy from...
**[46:16] ---**
It's fun!
**[46:17] ---**
The water favors you.
**[46:19] ---**
I can tell.
**[46:22] ---**
Nii-*chan*!
**[46:23] ---**
The foreign swimmer who was
invited to today's friendly race
**[46:26] ---**
was Albert, right?
**[46:29] ---**
Albert? You mean...
**[46:31] ---**
That's right.
**[46:34] ---**
The current world record holder
in the 100m and 200m freestyle.
**[46:38] ---**
Albert Wåhlander of Sweden.
**[46:44] ---**
Thanks, Coach!
**[46:47] ---**
Yep. See you tomorrow.
**[46:52] ---**
Misaki-*kun*!
**[46:54] ---**
You're burning up.
**[46:56] ---**
I'm fine.
**[46:57] ---**
I just got a little dizzy.
**[46:59] ---**
You need to take it easy.
**[47:00] ---**
I'll get you home.
**[47:03] ---**
Next up is the 200m freestyle.
**[47:08] ---**
Let's do this.
**[47:13] ---**
You know you shouldn't come
to practice when you're sick.
**[47:18] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[47:19] ---**
The junior swim meet is coming up, so...
**[47:26] ---**
I'm sorry I didn't notice it sooner.
**[47:30] ---**
It's okay.
**[47:31] ---**
But there's no point if you get sick.
**[47:34] ---**
You need to look after your health first.
**[47:37] ---**
Okay?
**[47:39] ---**
Yeah.
**[47:41] ---**
Thanks, Coach Tachibana.
**[47:50] ---**
Set!
**[47:54] ---**
Can I still make it?
**[48:28] ---**
Nanase-*san*...
**[48:39] ---**
Haru...
**[48:41] ---**
...lost?
**[48:56] ---**
Hey.
**[48:57] ---**
Good to see you, Rin.
**[48:59] ---**
Hey, Sosuke.
**[49:02] ---**
It's been a while, huh?
**[49:03] ---**
Yeah. When did you get in from Sydney?
**[49:06] ---**
Uh... A little while ago.
**[49:08] ---**
I'm here for the All-Japan Invitational.
**[49:10] ---**
The All-Japan, huh?
**[49:13] ---**
Oh, yeah. I got you a souvenir, too.
**[49:17] ---**
Uh...
**[49:19] ---**
You have a scary-looking face,
so I thought it'd soften your image a little.
**[49:23] ---**
Very funny.
**[49:25] ---**
Shut up. I had the right idea, didn't I?
**[49:27] ---**
Oh, I stopped by Samezuka, too.
**[49:29] ---**
Seems like Ai and Momo
made it into the regionals.
**[49:32] ---**
Oh, good. Those guys worked hard.
**[49:36] ---**
So anyway, Sosuke...
**[49:39] ---**
I mean...
**[49:40] ---**
Um, so...
**[49:44] ---**
You want to ask how my surgery went, right?
**[49:48] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[49:57] ---**
A success.
**[50:01] ---**
The surgery was a success.
**[50:14] ---**
Good.
**[50:16] ---**
That's what I wanted to hear.
**[50:17] ---**
You crying?
**[50:18] ---**
Like hell I am!
**[50:22] ---**
I feel like I'm finally
standing at the starting line.
**[50:25] ---**
Keep taking on the world until I get moving.
**[50:31] ---**
Don't get smart with me.
**[50:33] ---**
I don't have time to wait around.
**[50:34] ---**
I've gotta keep moving ahead,
even beyond the horizon.
**[50:39] ---**
Another poem?
**[50:41] ---**
It's fitting enough right now, isn't it?
**[50:45] ---**
That was a good workout.
**[50:48] ---**
Kisumi, that was a good gym.
**[50:51] ---**
It was clean, too.
**[50:53] ---**
Yeah.
**[50:54] ---**
The info I get isn't just for show.
**[50:58] ---**
The way you say it is annoying though.
**[51:00] ---**
Sorry, I'm gonna hit the bathroom.
**[51:03] ---**
Oh, me too. Sorry, I'll be right back.
**[51:06] ---**
'Kay, we'll be waiting.
**[51:08] ---**
Asahi, are you lonely?
**[51:10] ---**
No way!
**[51:13] ---**
I just thought I'd try saying it.
**[51:15] ---**
Oh yeah, I heard from Makoto
that you've got a good backstroke time.
**[51:21] ---**
Well, I'm nowhere near Ikuya
and the others, though.
**[51:25] ---**
But...
**[51:27] ---**
I hope I can see the
same view as them someday...
**[51:32] ---**
Just kidding.
**[51:35] ---**
Wh-What?
**[51:37] ---**
I found another good part about you.
**[51:41] ---**
You're weird, Shigino-*kun*.
**[51:43] ---**
You think so?
**[51:45] ---**
Yes.
**[51:46] ---**
Oh!
**[51:47] ---**
Huh?
**[51:49] ---**
Hm?
**[51:50] ---**
Rin! And Sosuke, too!
**[51:53] ---**
Long time no see!
**[51:55] ---**
Oh, Kisumi! How've you been?
**[51:58] ---**
Good! You look like you've been doing well, too!
**[52:01] ---**
Loud, as usual, huh?
**[52:03] ---**
It's been a while since I got
that reaction from you, too, Sosuke.
**[52:07] ---**
What were you doing?
**[52:08] ---**
I'm on my way back from the gym.
**[52:10] ---**
Who's that?
**[52:11] ---**
Oh, he's Toono Hiyori-*kun*.
**[52:14] ---**
He's in the Shimo U swim club
and swims backstroke.
**[52:18] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[52:19] ---**
He's kind of cute sometimes.
**[52:21] ---**
Huh?!
**[52:22] ---**
What the heck?
**[52:24] ---**
And this is...
**[52:26] ---**
Thanks for waiting.
**[52:27] ---**
Oh? Who's that?
**[52:29] ---**
Oh, this is Matsuoka Rin and Yamazaki Sosuke.
**[52:33] ---**
We've been friends since elementary school.
**[52:36] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[52:37] ---**
Matsuoka...?
**[52:38] ---**
And I went to middle school with these guys--
**[52:41] ---**
Shiina Asahi and Kirishima Ikuya!
**[52:43] ---**
Kirishima...
**[52:45] ---**
...Ikuya?
**[52:47] ---**
Natsuya-*san*'s...
**[52:49] ---**
...little brother, huh?
**[52:50] ---**
Wait, you know Natsuya-*san*?
**[52:53] ---**
You do, too?
**[52:54] ---**
Matsuoka... Matsu...
**[52:57] ---**
It's no good. I can't remember...
**[52:59] ---**
I've seen him somewhere before...
**[53:01] ---**
Matsuoka Rin...
**[53:03] ---**
You're Nanase-*kun*'s rival, right?
**[53:06] ---**
In freestyle, it'll be a fight
between me and Haru.
**[53:12] ---**
Kirishima Ikuya.
**[53:13] ---**
I've heard about you.
**[53:15] ---**
Haru and I swam the relay together.
**[53:19] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[53:20] ---**
I swam the relay with Haru, too.
**[53:24] ---**
I've heard about you from my brother.
**[53:27] ---**
I'm honored.
**[53:29] ---**
Why are they suddenly competing with each other?
**[53:31] ---**
Who knows?
**[53:33] ---**
Anyway, I won't lose, Rin.
**[53:36] ---**
I won't lose, either, Ikuya.
**[53:39] ---**
Okay, okay, calm down you two.
**[53:42] ---**
Matsuoka-*kun*, if you're
so concerned about Ikuya,
**[53:45] ---**
then why don't you two have a match?
**[53:48] ---**
You like matches too much.
**[53:50] ---**
Sure, I'll do it.
**[53:52] ---**
You're okay with it?!
**[53:54] ---**
Interesting. Then, I'll do it, too.
**[53:57] ---**
Huh? Don't fight!
**[54:00] ---**
Sosuke, you say something, too!
**[54:02] ---**
Once Rin's like this, there's no stopping him.
**[54:05] ---**
Sosuke!
**[54:07] ---**
Let's go somewhere else.
**[54:08] ---**
Then, I know a fun place.
Wanna settle things there?
**[54:13] ---**
Sure, I'll play with you.
**[54:16] ---**
I'll show you who's really the strongest!
**[54:19] ---**
Yeah, you know, right? That it's me?
**[54:24] ---**
You can't beat Ikuya.
**[54:27] ---**
Of course, you can't beat me, either.
**[54:28] ---**
Bring it on!
**[54:30] ---**
You can all come at me!
**[54:35] ---**
I'll teach you a lesson!
**[54:37] ---**
Hey, no cutting!
**[54:39] ---**
Shut up.
**[54:40] ---**
Huh? Isn't this kind of hard?
**[54:41] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[54:43] ---**
A video game...
**[54:43] ---**
That's what I thought.
**[54:46] ---**
That's dangerous!
**[54:47] ---**
Don't weave around like that!
**[54:49] ---**
B-But--
**[54:51] ---**
Hey!
**[54:52] ---**
See? Toono-*kun*'s kind of cute sometimes, right?
**[54:54] ---**
I don't really get it.
**[54:56] ---**
Whoa, wh-what was that just now?
**[55:01] ---**
Hey!
**[55:02] ---**
Yes!
**[55:03] ---**
Nice, Hiyori!
**[55:05] ---**
Looks like it went well...
**[55:07] ---**
No, that was definitely a fluke.
**[55:13] ---**
Hey, Sosuke.
**[55:15] ---**
Hm?
**[55:16] ---**
How's your shoulder?
**[55:18] ---**
Oh... I had surgery.
**[55:22] ---**
Looks like the recovery's going well, too.
**[55:24] ---**
Oh, then you'll be able to swim again?
**[55:27] ---**
Don't be so impatient.
**[55:30] ---**
I'll have to do physical therapy for a while.
**[55:33] ---**
I see.
**[55:34] ---**
I hope you can swim with everyone again.
**[55:38] ---**
Just to be clear,
**[55:39] ---**
I didn't decide on the surgery
for someone else's sake.
**[55:43] ---**
Yeah, I know.
**[55:45] ---**
But the freestyle contest is a free-for-all.
**[55:50] ---**
Looks like it.
**[55:52] ---**
There's Rin and Haru, and Ikuya.
**[55:54] ---**
And Kinjou.
**[55:57] ---**
Huh?
**[55:58] ---**
When he was a third year in high school,
**[55:59] ---**
"Kinjou Kaede (Naribusawa University) speaks
with the press after breaking the tournament record."
**[56:00] ---**
he changed from butterfly to freestyle.
**[56:03] ---**
In the past six months,
he's improved dramatically.
**[56:06] ---**
And after that, there's...
**[56:12] ---**
There's a lot to look forward to, huh?
**[56:15] ---**
I said move!
**[56:16] ---**
No!
**[56:17] ---**
Wait for me, Ikuya!
**[56:19] ---**
Toono, wait!
**[56:20] ---**
This is the end...!
**[56:30] ---**
Hiyori...!
**[56:32] ---**
I'll take the top!
**[56:33] ---**
What's he doing...?
**[56:34] ---**
I'll get revenge for Hiyori!
**[56:35] ---**
Ikuya, I'm sure you can win...
**[56:39] ---**
Thanks for sending me the training menu.
**[56:42] ---**
And you even sent souvenirs.
**[56:44] ---**
No problem!
**[56:46] ---**
My dear student's working hard.
**[56:49] ---**
It's nothing.
**[56:51] ---**
Thanks for your help.
**[56:53] ---**
But I can't believe you, who were
always following behind Haruka,
**[56:58] ---**
would move to Tokyo.
**[57:01] ---**
I'm already in college, you know.
**[57:04] ---**
Really?
**[57:06] ---**
I was happy to hear you wanted to teach kids.
**[57:11] ---**
Coach Sasabe, why did you
decide to start the SC?
**[57:16] ---**
Me? Well, the only thing
I'd liked my whole life was swimming.
**[57:22] ---**
I wanted more people to understand this feeling.
**[57:25] ---**
Even though when I was young, I said
stuff like how I'd be a competitive swimmer
**[57:28] ---**
and caused trouble for those around me.
**[57:32] ---**
But thanks to that,
I've been able to be nicer to others.
**[57:34] ---**
'Cause kids are a mass of potential.
**[57:37] ---**
If the teacher isn't super tolerant,
then you can't accept all of them.
**[57:41] ---**
So, I'm sure you have a lot going on,
**[57:45] ---**
but don't hesitate to come at me with anything!
**[57:47] ---**
I know that you're strong at your core.
**[57:54] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[57:56] ---**
Sure. Anyway, keep in touch.
**[57:59] ---**
I will, bye.
***SIGN*** "What time?" "Is 10 okay?" "OK!" "Don't be late!"
**[58:04] ---**
Rin...?
**[58:07] ---**
It's been a long time
since I've been to the aquarium...
**[58:10] ---**
Yeah, I thought you'd like it.
**[58:13] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[58:19] ---**
I heard you saw Sosuke?
**[58:23] ---**
Yeah.
**[58:24] ---**
He said his surgery was a success.
**[58:29] ---**
That's great news.
**[58:33] ---**
Oh, by the way, I heard
Haru swam in a freestyle relay?
**[58:37] ---**
Oh, yeah. He swam an IM, too.
**[58:40] ---**
Haru swam an IM?!
**[58:41] ---**
Yeah. He's not sure
if he'll ever do it again, though.
**[58:48] ---**
I guess freestyle is still
the only way to go for him, huh?
**[58:50] ---**
So what's going on with Haru now?
**[58:52] ---**
I haven't been able to get
in touch since I got to Japan.
**[58:56] ---**
Well...
**[58:58] ---**
Did something happen?
**[58:59] ---**
He was in a friendly race at his training camp,
**[59:02] ---**
and a Swedish swimmer named
Albert Wåhlander beat him.
**[59:06] ---**
You should be careful of him.
**[59:09] ---**
His swimming is...
**[59:11] ---**
...not of this world.
**[59:15] ---**
Haru swam with him?
**[59:22] ---**
Let's go, Makoto.
**[59:23] ---**
Where?
**[59:24] ---**
To see Haru!
**[59:25] ---**
What? Right now?
**[59:36] ---**
Hey.
**[59:38] ---**
Long time no see.
**[59:39] ---**
Rin?
**[59:41] ---**
It doesn't feel like it's
been a long time, though.
**[59:44] ---**
It's strange.
**[59:46] ---**
Yeah, that might be true.
**[59:49] ---**
How's training with a coach?
**[59:51] ---**
I feel suffocated.
**[59:52] ---**
Yeah, I thought I would start
hyperventilating at first, too.
**[1:00:00] ---**
I heard you swam with Albert?
**[1:00:05] ---**
It was a feeling I'd never felt before.
**[1:00:09] ---**
The water was being taken from me, stirred up...
**[1:00:12] ---**
I was swimming, but it didn't
feel like I was swimming.
**[1:00:16] ---**
Haru.
**[1:00:19] ---**
He must've been pretty incredible, then.
**[1:00:22] ---**
But my feelings haven't changed since then.
**[1:00:27] ---**
No matter what wall I face...
**[1:00:31] ---**
Haru, what about you?
**[1:00:58] ---**
I...
**[1:01:02] ---**
Jeez, taking on a world record swimmer
before his body reached peak form.
**[1:01:08] ---**
That idiot.
**[1:01:10] ---**
Azuma-*san*...
**[1:01:11] ---**
Well, he's still got a long way to go.
**[1:01:14] ---**
That's true.
**[1:01:16] ---**
But I'm sure Haru will be able to overcome it.
**[1:01:21] ---**
What about you? You look gloomy, too.
**[1:01:25] ---**
Huh?
**[1:01:27] ---**
That's how I looked in the past.
**[1:01:30] ---**
You're still young. Worry more.
**[1:01:33] ---**
Like Nanase.
**[1:01:39] ---**
Haru...
**[1:01:51] ---**
It looks like Misaki-*kun*'s
having a hard time improving.
**[1:01:54] ---**
When's his race?
**[1:01:55] ---**
Next week.
**[1:01:57] ---**
He was getting impatient
and was feverish last week...
**[1:02:01] ---**
I didn't notice...
**[1:02:04] ---**
So that's what you're worried about.
**[1:02:07] ---**
Haru's coach said I looked gloomy.
**[1:02:13] ---**
Makoto, do you have a swimsuit with you?
**[1:02:15] ---**
Huh?
**[1:02:26] ---**
Nao-*senpai*, you're amazing!
**[1:02:28] ---**
Your strokes were good, too, Makoto.
**[1:02:31] ---**
You've been training regularly, haven't you?
**[1:02:33] ---**
Yes. I've been swimming ever since I was little,
**[1:02:36] ---**
so it feels weird when I don't swim.
**[1:02:41] ---**
About our conversation earlier,
**[1:02:42] ---**
you shouldn't get worked up with him.
**[1:02:45] ---**
It'll make Misaki-*kun* uneasy.
**[1:02:47] ---**
Right...
**[1:02:49] ---**
That's how I was at first, too.
**[1:02:51] ---**
It's hard to suddenly be
teaching a lot of kids at once.
**[1:02:54] ---**
That's true.
**[1:02:57] ---**
Each one is really unique,
and they're all good at different things.
**[1:03:03] ---**
Yeah, that's why it's interesting.
**[1:03:06] ---**
I think you can be more honest.
**[1:03:08] ---**
Huh?
**[1:03:09] ---**
I told you about how
I'm helping the trainers, right?
**[1:03:13] ---**
Yes, you're supporting the swimmers, right?
**[1:03:16] ---**
Yeah, I'm watching pro trainers up close,
**[1:03:20] ---**
and experiencing the swimmers'
breaths and feelings every day.
**[1:03:25] ---**
Each experience will help me
teach someone else something.
**[1:03:29] ---**
In the same way,
there are things in your experience
**[1:03:32] ---**
that only the you right now can tell them,
**[1:03:37] ---**
so you should cherish that.
**[1:03:40] ---**
Nao-*senpai*...
**[1:03:41] ---**
When I said I thought you'd be a good trainer,
**[1:03:44] ---**
it's because I thought you'd be
able to treasure those bonds.
**[1:03:50] ---**
I'm sure, if it's you...
**[1:03:56] ---**
All right, Makoto!
**[1:03:57] ---**
Let's race with freestyle now!
**[1:03:59] ---**
Huh?
**[1:04:00] ---**
100 meters, okay?
**[1:04:01] ---**
W-Wait, Nao-*senpai*?
**[1:04:06] ---**
"Tokyo East Junior Elementary School"
"Grade-by-Grade Short-Course Swim Meet"
**[1:04:09] ---**
"Boys' Locker Room"
**[1:04:10] ---**
Misaki-*kun*, are you ready?
**[1:04:12] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[1:04:16] ---**
I'm sure, if it's you...
**[1:04:22] ---**
Misaki-*kun*,
**[1:04:24] ---**
got a minute?
**[1:04:27] ---**
Relax a little more.
**[1:04:29] ---**
Okay...
**[1:04:32] ---**
Thinking about swimming
with him again just made me tense up.
**[1:04:37] ---**
It's nice to have someone
who makes you feel that way.
**[1:04:39] ---**
Huh?
**[1:04:40] ---**
I've seen lots of relationships like that.
**[1:04:43] ---**
One side takes the rivalry seriously and
becomes obsessed with taking on the other.
**[1:04:48] ---**
Or they get separated from someone
they thought they'd swim with forever,
**[1:04:52] ---**
and when they reunite,
their intense feelings end up clashing.
**[1:04:57] ---**
But every time, they were set free
when they finally swam together.
**[1:05:04] ---**
I'm sure swimming with Natsume-*kun* again
**[1:05:07] ---**
will open your eyes, too.
**[1:05:12] ---**
Treasure your bond with him, okay?
**[1:05:14] ---**
You have this chance to see him again
because you stuck with swimming.
**[1:05:19] ---**
Enjoy swimming with
that kind of rival to the fullest.
**[1:05:42] ---**
Take your marks.
**[1:05:47] ---**
Go!
**[1:05:48] ---**
Misaki-*kun*!
**[1:06:08] ---**
Go!
**[1:06:14] ---**
Last stretch!
**[1:06:22] ---**
"Natsume Kaoru"
"Kuramoto Misaki"
**[1:06:33] ---**
Natsume.
**[1:06:35] ---**
Congratulations.
**[1:06:39] ---**
Thanks! You swam really well, too!
**[1:06:41] ---**
I'm glad we got to swim together again!
**[1:06:45] ---**
Me, too!
**[1:06:47] ---**
Coach!
**[1:06:48] ---**
Good job, Misaki-*kun*.
**[1:06:50] ---**
Too bad you lost, but your time
was a new personal best!
**[1:06:53] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:06:54] ---**
I think I was able to try my hardest
because I was swimming with Natsume again.
**[1:06:58] ---**
And also...
**[1:07:00] ---**
...thanks to you, Coach Tachibana!
**[1:07:04] ---**
Hey, Makoto, what's your dream?
**[1:07:11] ---**
Thanks, Coach Tachibana and Coach Serizawa!
**[1:07:17] ---**
Nao-*senpai*...
**[1:07:19] ---**
Could you tell me more about what
you mentioned before, about being a trainer?
**[1:07:26] ---**
Makoto...
**[1:07:31] ---**
So many people...
**[1:07:33] ---**
Yeah, it's always like this
around Hachiko in summer.
**[1:07:37] ---**
If you're meeting up with someone
and want to avoid the crowds,
**[1:07:39] ---**
you could always meet at the Moyai statue, too.
**[1:07:42] ---**
I can definitely see why you call
Tokyo your second home, Romi-*chan*!
**[1:07:45] ---**
But, wow...
**[1:07:49] ---**
The muscles in Tokyo...
**[1:07:51] ---**
And the fat...
**[1:07:53] ---**
The real Hachiko...
**[1:07:55] ---**
Hey, guys!
**[1:07:57] ---**
Mako-*chan*!
**[1:07:58] ---**
Sorry! Were you waiting long?
**[1:08:00] ---**
No, we just got here.
**[1:08:02] ---**
Oh, you guys must be the new club members.
**[1:08:05] ---**
Rei and Nagisa told me about you.
**[1:08:08] ---**
I'm Tachibana Makoto.
**[1:08:10] ---**
Great to meet you.
**[1:08:13] ---**
It's a pleasure to meet you!
**[1:08:16] ---**
Haru-*chan*'s at a training camp, right?
**[1:08:19] ---**
Yeah, since the All-Japan
Invitational is so close.
**[1:08:22] ---**
But you two have the nationals
starting tomorrow, right?
**[1:08:25] ---**
Yes, I'll be in the butterfly event,
and Nagisa-*kun*'s in the breaststroke.
**[1:08:31] ---**
Right.
**[1:08:32] ---**
Rei, Nagisa, congratulations again.
**[1:08:37] ---**
It's too bad you guys won't be in it,
but let's cheer them on together.
**[1:08:42] ---**
Sure!
**[1:08:52] ---**
"Iwatobi"
**[1:08:56] ---**
Ryugazaki-*kun* and Hazuki-*kun*
are both amazing, aren't they?
**[1:08:59] ---**
Nationals!
**[1:09:01] ---**
They really worked hard!
**[1:09:04] ---**
It's not something that can be easily copied.
**[1:09:07] ---**
It's true!
**[1:09:08] ---**
Now...
**[1:09:10] ---**
I just hope they aren't too bothered
by not making it to nationals for the relay.
**[1:09:15] ---**
What do you mean?
**[1:09:17] ---**
Romio and Shizuru have potential,
**[1:09:19] ---**
but they're just starting
their swimming careers.
**[1:09:23] ---**
So from the prelims, Rei and Nagisa
have been carrying a lot of responsibility.
**[1:09:28] ---**
Because it's who they are.
**[1:09:30] ---**
I'm sure, as upperclassmen,
**[1:09:32] ---**
they wanted to show Romio
and Shizuru the same view they saw.
**[1:09:41] ---**
Jeez, they didn't have
to carry that much responsibility.
**[1:09:46] ---**
I'm sure they'll be fine!
**[1:09:49] ---**
Because they're the
Iwatobi High School Swim Club!
**[1:09:56] ---**
You're right.
**[1:09:58] ---**
Because they're the
Iwatobi High School Swim Club.
**[1:10:02] ---**
"National High School Swimming Tournament"
**[1:10:02] ---**
Oh, man! I'm so excited!
**[1:10:05] ---**
Everyone, let's give it all we've got tomorrow
so we can go home with no regrets!
**[1:10:09] ---**
Right!
**[1:10:10] ---**
Ai-*chan*! Momo-*chan*!
**[1:10:12] ---**
Heya!
**[1:10:13] ---**
Gou-*san*!
**[1:10:14] ---**
Are you guys here to check out the venue, too?
**[1:10:16] ---**
Yes.
**[1:10:18] ---**
Too bad about that relay at the regionals.
**[1:10:21] ---**
You guys swam great.
**[1:10:23] ---**
Th-Thank you so much!
**[1:10:27] ---**
"Loach Tsukudani"
**[1:10:27] ---**
These are for you.
**[1:10:29] ---**
Loach *tsukudani*?!
**[1:10:30] ---**
For real?! I want some, too!
**[1:10:32] ---**
Sure, here.
**[1:10:32] ---**
Oh, sweet! You're such a nice guy!
**[1:10:33] ---**
I guess I'm up against you
in the breaststroke, Ai-*chan*.
**[1:10:35] ---**
Shizuru, why freshwater fish?
**[1:10:36] ---**
Yeah, and I have every
intention of giving it everything
**[1:10:40] ---**
that I've gained over the past three years.
**[1:10:42] ---**
I hope you're ready for that, Nagisa-*kun*.
**[1:10:45] ---**
I won't lose either, Ai-*chan*!
**[1:10:48] ---**
Momotaro!
**[1:10:52] ---**
Nee-*chan*?!
**[1:10:53] ---**
Nee-*chan*?
**[1:10:54] ---**
She's your sister?
**[1:10:56] ---**
What are you doing, Momo?
**[1:10:58] ---**
Just checking the place out.
**[1:11:02] ---**
Oh, how cute!
**[1:11:04] ---**
You're Gou-*san*, right?
**[1:11:06] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[1:11:07] ---**
My name's Mikoshiba Isuzu!
**[1:11:09] ---**
My brothers talk about you all the time!
**[1:11:12] ---**
Wh-What have they told you?
**[1:11:14] ---**
Jeez, Nee-*chan*, don't talk about that here...
**[1:11:17] ---**
I hear your brother, Rin-*san*,
has some really nice muscles!
**[1:11:21] ---**
Is his chest really
so ripped that he has cleavage?
**[1:11:24] ---**
Isuzu-*san*, you're...
**[1:11:27] ---**
Yes.
**[1:11:28] ---**
Nanase-*senpai* is at a training camp
to prepare for the All-Japan Invitational, right?
**[1:11:33] ---**
Yes, so unfortunately, it's not likely
he'll be here for tomorrow's races.
**[1:11:39] ---**
Well, it's a very important time for him.
**[1:11:42] ---**
I know Rin-*senpai* must be working
his hardest right now, too...
**[1:11:49] ---**
I'm sure he is.
**[1:11:52] ---**
Nanase, call it a day for now.
**[1:11:54] ---**
And don't forget your cool-down exercises.
**[1:11:57] ---**
Coach Azuma...
**[1:12:06] ---**
Hey, Haru.
**[1:12:08] ---**
I wanted to talk to you.
**[1:12:11] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:12:12] ---**
I wanted to talk to you, too.
**[1:12:16] ---**
Coach Mikhail let you leave?
**[1:12:19] ---**
Sure.
**[1:12:20] ---**
Haru, don't use me as your excuse
if this throws your condition off.
**[1:12:24] ---**
I'll be fine.
**[1:12:26] ---**
I'm not so fragile that
one day off would mess me up.
**[1:12:30] ---**
Pretty confident, aren't you?
**[1:12:32] ---**
Same goes for you.
**[1:12:36] ---**
Hey, you're going too fast.
**[1:12:39] ---**
Wow, check out this crowd.
**[1:12:41] ---**
Maybe we were right to get here early?
**[1:12:45] ---**
There they are!
**[1:12:47] ---**
See you guys later, okay?
**[1:12:48] ---**
Sure.
**[1:12:49] ---**
Hey, Mako-*chan*!
**[1:12:52] ---**
Nagisa, Rei.
**[1:12:54] ---**
You're here pretty early.
**[1:12:55] ---**
Yeah, I guess.
**[1:12:57] ---**
I couldn't get to sleep for some reason...
**[1:12:59] ---**
It's not like you're even
swimming today, Mako-*chan*.
**[1:13:02] ---**
I know, right?
**[1:13:03] ---**
Did you tell Rei and Nagisa
that you'd be there to cheer them on?
**[1:13:06] ---**
No.
**[1:13:08] ---**
I haven't told Ai and the guys, either.
**[1:13:10] ---**
I guess it'll just be a little surprise, huh?
**[1:13:15] ---**
Nee-*chan*!
**[1:13:18] ---**
That's Mikoshiba-*senpai*'s younger sister?
**[1:13:20] ---**
She's a really powerful swimmer!
**[1:13:23] ---**
"Mikoshiba Isuzu"
**[1:13:23] ---**
Not to mention...
**[1:13:25] ---**
She's a babe!
**[1:13:26] ---**
Woohoo! That's my big sis!
**[1:13:29] ---**
That was nice swimming.
**[1:13:30] ---**
Sosuke-*senpai*!
**[1:13:32] ---**
You came to see us?
**[1:13:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:13:34] ---**
There's something
I wanted to tell you guys, too.
**[1:13:38] ---**
Asahi still isn't back.
**[1:13:40] ---**
"Break the Limits"
**[1:13:40] ---**
Well, he probably had a lot
to talk about with his buddies.
**[1:13:44] ---**
Hey, come to think of it, where's Rei?
**[1:13:46] ---**
He said he could use some
fresh air and stepped outside.
**[1:13:57] ---**
This isn't like me.
**[1:13:58] ---**
Whoops... I'd better get back to the guys.
**[1:14:02] ---**
I'll message you later!
**[1:14:04] ---**
See ya!
**[1:14:05] ---**
Okay!
**[1:14:08] ---**
Whoa...
**[1:14:14] ---**
What?! Aren't you...
**[1:14:17] ---**
"Mental Training"
"How to Maintain an Unbreakable Spirit"
**[1:14:20] ---**
You actually still wear those red glasses?
**[1:14:24] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[1:14:25] ---**
Wait... If you're here, that means...
you're still swimming?
**[1:14:30] ---**
No, wait... You're in street clothes, so...
**[1:14:33] ---**
Are you cheering on a friend?
**[1:14:34] ---**
Yeah. I'm here to watch
some guys I went to school with.
**[1:14:37] ---**
I'm in college now, and yep, I'm still swimming!
**[1:14:44] ---**
I'm in the upcoming butterfly race.
**[1:14:46] ---**
Seriously?!
**[1:14:47] ---**
That's awesome! I didn't
make it to the nationals last year!
**[1:14:51] ---**
Anyway, I guess that's
why you look so nervous, huh?
**[1:14:56] ---**
Th-That's not...
**[1:14:58] ---**
Well, there are many
different kinds of mental training...
**[1:15:02] ---**
But don't overthink it so much.
**[1:15:05] ---**
Victory is all about the luck of the day.
**[1:15:07] ---**
You've just gotta make it or break it!
**[1:15:09] ---**
Uh, but I don't want to break...
**[1:15:12] ---**
It's just a figure of speech.
**[1:15:14] ---**
And when it comes to luck,
you've got some of the best there is.
**[1:15:19] ---**
We managed to see each other again
after all these years, after all.
**[1:15:28] ---**
Yes, maybe you're right.
**[1:15:31] ---**
No "maybe" about it!
Have faith and go for it!
**[1:15:36] ---**
Got it?
**[1:15:40] ---**
Yeah!
**[1:15:44] ---**
Captain Rei!
**[1:15:47] ---**
Romio-*kun*, Shizuru-*kun*...
**[1:15:49] ---**
Um, we were really happy
to be able to swim with you guys.
**[1:15:55] ---**
I mean, we have no regrets!
**[1:15:56] ---**
Huh...?
**[1:15:57] ---**
Well, you're kind,
**[1:16:01] ---**
so I know you're really bothered
by our loss in the relay, but...
**[1:16:04] ---**
Oh... no...
**[1:16:06] ---**
This summer was a
once-in-a-lifetime, awesome summer!
**[1:16:12] ---**
So, please swim for yourself today!
**[1:16:16] ---**
We just wanted to tell you that!
**[1:16:19] ---**
We're cheering for you!
**[1:16:23] ---**
It looks like your consideration
for them was obvious.
**[1:16:27] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*?! How long have you been there?!
**[1:16:31] ---**
I feel like our feelings
reached Romi-*chan* and Shizu-*chan*,
**[1:16:37] ---**
and it makes me happy.
**[1:16:40] ---**
You're right.
**[1:16:41] ---**
We were like that once, too.
**[1:16:45] ---**
Hey, do you remember?
**[1:16:47] ---**
Of course I do!
**[1:16:49] ---**
You invited me,
**[1:16:51] ---**
and then I was charmed
by Haruka-*senpai*'s swimming...
**[1:16:53] ---**
We went to the beach
**[1:16:55] ---**
and to the festival...
**[1:16:56] ---**
We practiced
**[1:16:58] ---**
and swam the relay!
**[1:17:00] ---**
I even saw the most
amazing view with you, Rei-*chan*,
**[1:17:02] ---**
even though you couldn't swim at first.
**[1:17:05] ---**
Yes. I'm sure it would've
been impossible on my own.
**[1:17:09] ---**
I want to treasure these feelings as I swim.
**[1:17:13] ---**
Yes, Nagisa-*kun*.
**[1:17:15] ---**
"National High School Swimming Tournament"
**[1:17:20] ---**
The men's 200m butterfly
qualifier will now begin.
**[1:17:23] ---**
Looks like we made it in time.
**[1:17:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:17:28] ---**
Haru-*chan*!
**[1:17:30] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*!
**[1:17:31] ---**
Haru!
**[1:17:33] ---**
You actually came!
**[1:17:35] ---**
Sorry I'm late.
**[1:17:41] ---**
Rei!
**[1:17:51] ---**
Rei-*chan*...
**[1:17:53] ---**
This'll be my first time seeing him swim!
**[1:17:58] ---**
That's right.
**[1:18:00] ---**
I just need to be myself.
**[1:18:03] ---**
All right, then!
**[1:18:05] ---**
For my last high school race,
**[1:18:08] ---**
I'll show you the best butterfly I'm capable of!
**[1:18:11] ---**
Take your marks.
**[1:18:16] ---**
Rei!
**[1:18:18] ---**
Rei-*chan*!
**[1:18:19] ---**
Rei!
**[1:18:20] ---**
Rei-*kun*!
**[1:18:21] ---**
Captain Rei!
**[1:18:23] ---**
Go, go, go, go, go, Rei!
**[1:18:28] ---**
Go, go, go, go, go, Rei!
Go, go, go, go, go, Rei!
**[1:18:39] ---**
"Ryugazaki Rei"
**[1:18:40] ---**
So he goes to Iwatobi, huh?
**[1:18:43] ---**
I think he'll make a good rival for you.
**[1:18:47] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:18:54] ---**
The third heat of the men's
100m breaststroke qualifier...
**[1:18:57] ---**
Ai-*senpai*'s breaststroke race is next!
**[1:19:00] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:19:01] ---**
Ai!
**[1:19:05] ---**
I won't lose, Nagisa-*kun*.
**[1:19:08] ---**
Neither will I.
**[1:19:14] ---**
Take your marks.
**[1:19:18] ---**
Good start!
**[1:19:20] ---**
That gave him an early lead!
**[1:19:23] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*!
**[1:19:25] ---**
Nagisa!
**[1:19:26] ---**
Nagisa-*senpai*!
**[1:19:29] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*!
**[1:19:35] ---**
There's Senpai's speed
boost right before the finish!
**[1:19:38] ---**
Nagisa-*senpai*!
**[1:19:44] ---**
"Hazuki Nagisa"
"Nitori Aiichirou"
**[1:19:49] ---**
Nagisa-*kun*!
**[1:19:51] ---**
Thanks!
**[1:19:55] ---**
Same to you!
**[1:20:01] ---**
You did great,
**[1:20:02] ---**
Rei and Nagisa.
**[1:20:04] ---**
Thanks!
**[1:20:05] ---**
Thank you for taking
the time to come cheer us on.
**[1:20:11] ---**
I didn't make it to the finals,
**[1:20:13] ---**
but I beat my personal record time.
**[1:20:15] ---**
My last high school race
**[1:20:18] ---**
ended with no regrets!
**[1:20:23] ---**
You too, Nagisa.
**[1:20:25] ---**
You've gotten stronger.
**[1:20:27] ---**
Thanks.
**[1:20:28] ---**
You know, being able to swim
with all of you guys for all these years
**[1:20:33] ---**
has given me so many fun memories.
**[1:20:36] ---**
It gave me so many feelings to treasure.
**[1:20:41] ---**
And today, too...
**[1:20:43] ---**
The whole time I was in the water,
my heart was dancing.
**[1:20:46] ---**
I really do love swimming!
**[1:20:51] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:20:53] ---**
Romio...
**[1:20:55] ---**
Let's go to the nationals, too.
**[1:20:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:21:03] ---**
We gave it all we had!
**[1:21:06] ---**
This is making me eager to swim again.
**[1:21:09] ---**
Well, get to full strength fast and come back.
**[1:21:12] ---**
I will. You just wait.
**[1:21:13] ---**
But...
**[1:21:15] ---**
Just don't cry if I beat you, okay?
**[1:21:18] ---**
I-I'm not gonna cry!
**[1:21:27] ---**
Rin!
**[1:21:29] ---**
You were here too, huh?
**[1:21:31] ---**
Good to see you, too, Sosuke.
**[1:21:36] ---**
Rei and Nagisa did great, too.
**[1:21:39] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:21:41] ---**
But are you sure it was okay to come here?
**[1:21:45] ---**
It's fine.
**[1:21:47] ---**
I would've regretted it more
if I hadn't been here.
**[1:21:51] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:21:53] ---**
The bonds I have with
these guys are the reason I'm here.
**[1:21:58] ---**
I'm gonna keep them alive from now on,
**[1:22:01] ---**
far into the future.
**[1:22:07] ---**
Haru!
**[1:22:08] ---**
It's finally our turn next, huh?
**[1:22:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:22:16] ---**
The All-Japan Invitational.
**[1:22:22] ---**
*BRAVE DREAM!!*
**[1:22:29] ---**
*BRAVE DREAM!!*
**[1:22:37] ---**
* Underwater subconsciousness*
* is unexpectedly eloquent*
**[1:22:42] ---**
*Wake up, Take your marks*
**[1:22:44] ---**
* Be proud that giving emotions*
* priority today is the answer to the status quo*
**[1:22:52] ---**
I told you that Ryuuji and I were
rivals ever since high school, right?
**[1:22:56] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:22:58] ---**
He was a prodigy.
**[1:23:00] ---**
He was a swimmer meant to stand
at the top of the world, without a doubt.
**[1:23:04] ---**
So then why...
**[1:23:07] ---**
A few days before the All-Japan Invitational,
**[1:23:09] ---**
an old friend of his was in an accident.
**[1:23:12] ---**
Oh...
**[1:23:13] ---**
And rather than rush to his best friend's side,
**[1:23:17] ---**
Ryuuji chose to race.
**[1:23:20] ---**
And... did he win?
**[1:23:22] ---**
No...
**[1:23:24] ---**
He lost.
**[1:23:25] ---**
After all he gave up to be
in that race, he didn't win.
**[1:23:30] ---**
He ended up retiring from swimming after that.
**[1:23:34] ---**
I'm pretty sure he's still trying
to find what's really important to him,
**[1:23:36] ---**
all while staying connected
to swimming in some way.
**[1:23:41] ---**
He's probably coaching Nanase-*kun* to make sure
**[1:23:43] ---**
he doesn't end up going
down the same path he once did.
**[1:23:50] ---**
*It's my road... Let's head into the world*
**[1:23:57] ---**
* With a tough passion*
* that fits the dream we choose*
**[1:24:03] ---**
* BRAVE DREAM!! Face front*
* and go forward with all our strength*
**[1:24:12] ---**
* BRAVE DREAM!! Fired up hot,*
* our current feelings change to pride*
**[1:24:18] ---**
*Raise me up "SPLASH FREE"*
**[1:24:20] ---**
*Dreamin' Growin' "FUTURE FISH"*
**[1:24:22] ---**
*Keep it "GOLD EVOLUTION"*
**[1:24:24] ---**
*'Cause We are We are STYLE FIVE*
**[1:24:26] ---**
* All right, we won't let go of the*
* potential of our hearts no matter what*
**[1:24:42] ---**
* BRAVE DREAM!! Face front*
* and go forward, toward our destination*
**[1:24:50] ---**
* BRAVE DREAM!! Keep believing*
* and shine on glory! Free!*
**[1:24:57] ---**
*Go the way we want, sei! sei! sei! A-Oh!*
**[1:25:00] ---**
*Being true to ourselves, kick! kick! kick! A-Oh!*
**[1:25:04] ---**

**[1:25:07] ---**
*From here To the World*
**[1:25:11] ---**
*BRAVE DREAM!!*
**[1:25:18] ---**
*BRAVE DREAM!!*
**[1:25:33] ---**
Nii-*chan*!
**[1:25:34] ---**
Go!
**[1:25:36] ---**
Hoshikawa-*senpai*!
**[1:25:36] ---**
Get 'em!
**[1:25:36] ---**
Captain!
**[1:25:39] ---**
"Mikoshiba Seijuro"
"Hoshikawa Tsubasa"
**[1:25:43] ---**
Damn!
**[1:25:44] ---**
Nii-*chan*...
**[1:25:46] ---**
Even Hoshikawa-*senpai*...
**[1:25:48] ---**
...didn't qualify?
**[1:25:50] ---**
This is intense, Rei-*chan*.
**[1:25:52] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:25:53] ---**
Haruka-*senpai* and the rest have
really dived into an incredible world.
**[1:25:59] ---**
The 50m freestyle...
**[1:26:01] ---**
I believe we tied last time, didn't we?
**[1:26:04] ---**
Yeah. Let's settle the
score once and for all today!
**[1:26:07] ---**
I've been swimming my butt off
for this day, and you're gonna see--
**[1:26:08] ---**
"Naribusawa"
**[1:26:13] ---**
What's his deal?
**[1:26:20] ---**
So he's here.
**[1:26:22] ---**
Kinjou Kaede of Naribusawa.
**[1:26:26] ---**
That's...
**[1:26:30] ---**
Take your marks.
**[1:26:40] ---**
Asahi!
**[1:26:42] ---**
That Kinjou guy's power is incredible!
**[1:26:47] ---**
Damn it!
**[1:27:02] ---**
A tournament record? For real?
**[1:27:04] ---**
What's wrong?
**[1:27:05] ---**
Scared?
**[1:27:07] ---**
No.
**[1:27:08] ---**
You can't gain that kind of strength
without throwing something else away.
**[1:27:12] ---**
No one can survive in the
competitive world with a regular mindset.
**[1:27:16] ---**
The only ones who make it
are the ones who don't waver an inch,
**[1:27:18] ---**
even if something happens
to someone they care about.
**[1:27:25] ---**
The men's 100m butterfly is next.
**[1:27:28] ---**
Rin-*senpai*!
**[1:27:33] ---**
Big Brother...
**[1:27:35] ---**
Take your marks.
**[1:27:39] ---**
Not a bad start.
**[1:27:41] ---**
But this final heat
**[1:27:43] ---**
has three guys who've been
in the world championships.
**[1:27:46] ---**
Rin...
**[1:27:52] ---**
He picked up speed!
**[1:27:53] ---**
Rin-*chan*!
**[1:27:56] ---**
Rin...
**[1:27:56] ---**
He's...
**[1:27:59] ---**
Big Brother!
**[1:28:04] ---**
"Matsuoka Rin"
**[1:28:10] ---**
He placed second!
**[1:28:11] ---**
And he just barely beat the base time.
**[1:28:14] ---**
All right!
**[1:28:16] ---**
Rin... Well done!
**[1:28:20] ---**
Yes!
**[1:28:24] ---**
Okay, you're up next.
**[1:28:26] ---**
Start getting ready.
**[1:28:28] ---**
Okay.
**[1:28:31] ---**
The men's 200m freestyle final.
**[1:28:34] ---**
If he wins this, he takes on the world next!
**[1:28:37] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:28:41] ---**
In lane 5, Nanase Haruka of Hidaka University.
**[1:28:50] ---**
Haru...
**[1:28:53] ---**
Take your marks.
**[1:28:57] ---**
That idiot.
**[1:28:58] ---**
Late start!
**[1:29:00] ---**
Haruka-*senpai*!
**[1:29:01] ---**
Haru-*chan*!
**[1:29:03] ---**
He's not moving as smoothly as usual...
**[1:29:07] ---**
Haru...
**[1:29:09] ---**
Go!
**[1:29:09] ---**
Haru!
**[1:29:45] ---**
Haru-*chan*... lost?
**[1:29:46] ---**
"Nanase Haruka"
**[1:30:08] ---**
You can't survive without
throwing something away.
**[1:30:11] ---**
I didn't want to throw anything away.
**[1:30:15] ---**
But I lost.
**[1:30:18] ---**
I've been thinking since the race ended...
**[1:30:22] ---**
Maybe I don't deserve
to compete at the global level.
**[1:30:29] ---**
Why are you laughing?
**[1:30:31] ---**
Oh, just thinking that I guess
even you feel the pressure here.
**[1:30:36] ---**
You're actually getting heated up.
**[1:30:38] ---**
The rest of us are here
because of your swimming, Haru.
**[1:30:43] ---**
Maybe just the fact that you're
worried about it is your answer.
**[1:30:47] ---**
What does that mean?
**[1:30:51] ---**
You know, Haru...
**[1:30:53] ---**
I felt like I was being
crushed under all kinds of pressures.
**[1:30:57] ---**
There were even times
I stopped believing in myself.
**[1:31:01] ---**
I guess you already know all that, though...
**[1:31:04] ---**
But after all of our struggling
and butting heads,
**[1:31:08] ---**
we actually made it this far.
**[1:31:11] ---**
There's more than one way to chase a dream.
**[1:31:16] ---**
Let's face tomorrow head-on
with everything we've got.
**[1:31:22] ---**
You know, after working with the kids,
I've decided I want to be a trainer.
**[1:31:27] ---**
Really?
**[1:31:29] ---**
Watching them go head-to-head
in pursuit of their dreams
**[1:31:32] ---**
made me see that
there's much more I want to do.
**[1:31:36] ---**
I've felt really excited
ever since I realized that.
**[1:31:39] ---**
I want to support swimmers
who are striving to take on the world.
**[1:31:43] ---**
I think that'll give me a way to teach kids
how much fun swimming is, too.
**[1:31:50] ---**
That's awesome!
**[1:31:52] ---**
I want to support you both, too, if I can.
**[1:31:56] ---**
And nothing would beat seeing
that same view together again!
**[1:32:01] ---**
Trying to sound all cool now?
**[1:32:04] ---**
I'll be rooting for you, Makoto.
**[1:32:06] ---**
Yep. Thanks.
**[1:32:19] ---**
I will take on the world!
**[1:32:25] ---**
Huh? Hey!
**[1:32:28] ---**
Let's go too, Rin!
**[1:32:29] ---**
Huh?!
**[1:32:31] ---**
Oh, come on... What kind of teen drama is this?
**[1:32:35] ---**
For crying out loud!
**[1:32:37] ---**
There are still more tight races
to come in this tournament.
**[1:32:41] ---**
The pressure must be immense
for those teenage kids.
**[1:32:44] ---**
They're just too mentally weak.
**[1:32:46] ---**
Jeez... That damn Nanase was
so close to the world championships.
**[1:32:52] ---**
Did you notice it?
**[1:32:54] ---**
Yeah.
**[1:32:55] ---**
Maybe that bad start
actually sapped his strength.
**[1:32:59] ---**
In the middle of the race,
his speed clearly surpassed Albert's.
**[1:33:04] ---**
But he lost speed toward the end.
**[1:33:07] ---**
I think what he was really
worried about wasn't Kinjou or Albert.
**[1:33:13] ---**
He faltered at the feeling of
surpassing his own limits in freestyle.
**[1:33:18] ---**
He still has room to improve even more.
It's scary, honestly.
**[1:33:23] ---**
I think Rin-*kun* is right up there with him.
**[1:33:26] ---**
We'll find that out tomorrow.
**[1:33:28] ---**
He keeps talking about stupid stuff
like friendship and bonds...
**[1:33:32] ---**
Times change, Ryuuji.
**[1:33:35] ---**
Those kids might actually...
**[1:33:39] ---**
I wonder what they're doing?
**[1:33:41] ---**
Sea bathing?
**[1:33:44] ---**
Must be nice...
**[1:33:45] ---**
I'm jealous.
**[1:33:47] ---**
It's beautiful...
**[1:33:50] ---**
I feel like I have a new dream now, too.
**[1:34:03] ---**
Come on, everyone, we'll be late for dinner.
**[1:34:07] ---**
Hey, Rei-*chan*, what dream are you talking about?
**[1:34:10] ---**
I-It's still a secret right now!
**[1:34:12] ---**
Come on, Rei-*chan*!
**[1:34:14] ---**
Forget about it!
**[1:34:15] ---**
But Rei-*chan*!
**[1:34:17] ---**
No "buts" about it! Nagisa-*kun*, you're always...
**[1:34:23] ---**
Your swimming was really good today, Ikuya!
**[1:34:26] ---**
Oh, thanks. I don't know
how well I'll do tomorrow,
**[1:34:30] ---**
but I'll give it my all.
**[1:34:32] ---**
I'm sure you'll be fine, Ikuya.
**[1:34:34] ---**
You say that, but you still have
the backstroke left, right?
**[1:34:38] ---**
With your ability, you definitely
have a chance at winning.
**[1:34:42] ---**
To have you acknowledge my ability...
**[1:34:44] ---**
I'm glad I kept swimming competitively.
**[1:34:47] ---**
You're overreacting.
**[1:34:50] ---**
Oh, sorry. I forgot my phone.
**[1:34:53] ---**
Huh? Again?
**[1:34:54] ---**
I'll go get it real fast.
**[1:34:56] ---**
I'll wait around here!
**[1:34:57] ---**
Okay!
**[1:35:10] ---**
That was fast, Iku--
**[1:35:12] ---**
Oh? I was wondering who was here.
**[1:35:15] ---**
It's Hiyori the crybaby.
**[1:35:17] ---**
Kinjou...
**[1:35:19] ---**
Hiyori, your 50m freestyle's gotten real fast.
**[1:35:22] ---**
I guess you're talented after all.
**[1:35:24] ---**
You did pretty good in the tournaments
when we were kids, too.
**[1:35:28] ---**
But after coming back from America,
you had trouble getting faster.
**[1:35:32] ---**
You still hanging out with that Ikuya?
**[1:35:36] ---**
It has nothing to do with you.
**[1:35:38] ---**
Huh? You really still playing mermaid princess?
**[1:35:42] ---**
Give me a break.
**[1:35:44] ---**
When you swim, you're alone, anyway.
**[1:35:47] ---**
I used to think that, too...
**[1:35:50] ---**
Aw, c'mon, Hiyori...
**[1:35:53] ---**
What're those rebellious eyes of yours?
**[1:35:56] ---**
I was just giving you some advice.
**[1:35:59] ---**
You can't beat Nanase-*kun*.
**[1:36:01] ---**
Huh? Who's gonna beat who now?
**[1:36:06] ---**
You'll understand, too,
if you swim with Nanase-*kun*!
**[1:36:10] ---**
Huh? What nonsense are you spouting?
**[1:36:14] ---**
Let go, Kinjou!
**[1:36:16] ---**
Oh, Ikuya-*kun*.
**[1:36:19] ---**
You're an athlete, aren't you?
**[1:36:21] ---**
Fight with your sport.
**[1:36:24] ---**
You're no match for me in swimming, though.
**[1:36:26] ---**
You wanna try me?
**[1:36:29] ---**
I'm different from how I was in high school.
Not even you beat me now.
**[1:36:35] ---**
You better not hurt my little brother.
**[1:36:40] ---**
Bro...
**[1:36:41] ---**
Jeez, you're so rude.
**[1:36:44] ---**
Seriously.
**[1:36:46] ---**
Ikuya's big brother.
**[1:36:48] ---**
And Yamazaki Sosuke from Tokitsu...
**[1:36:52] ---**
You really like being friendly, huh?
**[1:36:54] ---**
It's about time I went home.
**[1:36:56] ---**
Watch me swim tomorrow.
**[1:36:57] ---**
I'll make you all shut up.
**[1:37:01] ---**
He's trouble.
**[1:37:03] ---**
I can't believe *that's*
the closest to a national record.
**[1:37:06] ---**
That guy's a nuisance.
**[1:37:08] ---**
But, beyond that, there's the world...
**[1:37:22] ---**
He beat the base time by a mile.
**[1:37:24] ---**
A new tournament record
in the 100m freestyle, too?
**[1:37:27] ---**
That guy's insane...
**[1:37:29] ---**
The fourth heat of the
men's 100m freestyle qualifier.
**[1:37:36] ---**
How do you feel, Haru?
**[1:37:39] ---**
Surprisingly calm.
**[1:37:43] ---**
I'm psyched.
**[1:37:44] ---**
The world is waiting for us just ahead.
**[1:37:47] ---**
It's like a dream, huh?
**[1:37:48] ---**
But
**[1:37:50] ---**
it's not a dream.
**[1:37:51] ---**
Yeah, you're right.
**[1:37:53] ---**
We're so close, we could reach out and touch it.
**[1:37:56] ---**
No one can guess what's
going to happen from here on.
**[1:38:01] ---**
Let's go find out
**[1:38:03] ---**
what lies ahead of us.
**[1:38:05] ---**
Yeah! Let's dive...
**[1:38:08] ---**
...to the future!
**[1:38:21] ---**
In first place, Nanase.
In second place, Matsuoka.
**[1:38:25] ---**
And third place, Nakajima.
**[1:38:30] ---**
Al! What are you doing?
**[1:38:32] ---**
Come to the pool.
**[1:38:33] ---**
It's time for practice.
**[1:38:35] ---**
Yes, sir. I'll be right there.
**[1:38:38] ---**
Don't waste your time.
**[1:38:40] ---**
You're a swimming machine.
**[1:38:47] ---**
Hope to see you again.

You wanna settle this once and for all?
**[10:20] Rin**
That's just what I wanted!
**[10:20] Asahi**
Shouldn't we stop them?
**[10:22] Sosuke**
Let them do what they want.
**[10:24] Rin**
Okay, Ikuya! We'll settle it with this!
**[10:25] Sosuke**
Once the competition in Sydney starts,
**[10:27] Sosuke**
they won't be able to relax for a while.
**[10:30] Ikuya**
You just tried to cheat, didn't you?
**[10:31] Asahi**
Yeah, that's probably true.
**[10:32] Rin**
I did not!
**[10:35] Hiyori**
Sorry you ended up helping,
too, Tachibana-kun.
**[10:37] Makoto**
No problem. It wasn't any trouble.
**[10:40] Haruka**
You don't have to push yourself.
**[10:43] Hiyori**
Nanase-kun, you're always
so nice to Tachibana-kun.
**[10:47] Haruka**
Don't you think he said too much?
**[10:53] Kinjo**
Oh?
**[10:56] Kinjo**
Is that Hiyori-kun?
**[10:59] Kinjo**
Do you go to school here?
**[11:02] Hiyori**
No.
**[11:04] Hiyori**
Why are you here?
**[11:05] Kinjo**
Man, that's mean.
**[11:07] Kinjo**
I can't even walk by?
***SIGN*** STOP
**[11:11] Kinjo**
I was just going to compliment you.
**[11:13] Hiyori**
Where's this coming from?
**[11:15] Kinjo**
You know, your backstroke the other day...
**[11:17] Kinjo**
You were a step away from making it
into the Sydney championships, right?
**[11:21] Kinjo**
If you can swim that well,
you should focus on yourself more.
**[11:26] Hiyori**
There's...
**[11:27] Hiyori**
a view I want to see again.
**[11:30] Hiyori**
Right now, I'm swimming for that dream.
**[11:34] Kinjo**
Huh?
**[11:35] Kinjo**
What are you talking about?
**[11:37] Makoto**
Toono-kun?
**[11:38] Makoto**
Oh, you're...
**[11:41] Kinjo**
Oh, you're Nanase Haruka, right?
**[11:45] Kinjo**
I knew it.
**[11:47] Kinjo**
You were the one in the 100m freestyle race
with me at the Sydney championships...

Damn it, they're only showing Iwatobi.
**[12:38] Minami**
Why are there no cameras here?
**[12:40] Nitori**
Oh, we'll be interviewed tomorrow.
**[12:43] Nitori**
They said they wanted to
hear about Rin-senpai.
**[12:45] Uozumi**
Really?!
**[12:46] Uozumi**
Then let's tell them!
**[12:48] Minami**
Yeah! All our sweet memories with Rin-senpai!
**[12:52] Momotaro**
Hey, no fair! I wanna go
on with Pyunsuke, too!
**[12:56] Nitori**
O-Okay, just calm down.
**[12:58] Nitori**
The only one who'll be

**[13:02] Momotaro**
Why is that?!

**[13:12] Shizuru**
We have to clean up right away.
**[13:14] Nagisa**
Are these all Romi-chan's?
**[13:17] Rei**
Just how many are there?!
**[13:18] Romio**
S-Sorry!
**[13:20] Shizuru**
It's like a crab molting.
**[13:22] Romio**
Shizuru, you don't have to use a simile!
**[13:24] Rei**
Nagisa-kun, what is that?
**[13:26] Nagisa**
I prepared it just for today!
**[13:29] Rei**
Let's put it away.
**[13:31] Nagisa**
Aw...
**[13:33] Gou**
There's so much!
**[13:34] Gou**
Where did it all come from?
**[13:36] Rei**
What? You want to interview me?
**[13:39] Nagisa**
Easy, Rei-chan. Just take a deep breath.
**[13:42] Nagisa**
Inhale, inhale...
**[13:44] Nagisa**
Come on, inhale more. More!
**[13:47] Nagisa**
Keep inhaling. More!
**[13:48] Romio**
That's pretty good.
**[13:50] Shizuru**
That's Captain Rei for you!
**[13:51] Rei**
When can I exhale?!
**[13:54] Nagisa**
You're no fun.
**[13:55] Rei**
I can't just keep breathing in!
**[13:56] Shizuru**
You looked like a boiled octopus.
**[13:58] Romio**
I said stop using similes!
**[13:59] Nagisa**
Shizu-chan, you're so funny!
**[14:01] Rei**
It's not funny!
**[14:03] Shizuru**
I'm funny.
**[14:03] Gou**
Haruka-senpai and the others
**[14:04] Rei**
You can't say that about yourself.
**[14:05] Gou**
are probably arriving in
Sydney right about now.
**[14:06] Romio**
Oh, they're filming!

Oh, you're right!

Not really.
**[14:30] Haruka**
But it's just starting to sink
in that I'm back in Sydney.
**[14:35] Rin**
I wonder why we were so rash back then.
**[14:40] Rin**
But those memories connect
us to where we are now.
**[14:45] Rin**
Let's swim our best for the
guys who aren't here, too.
**[14:53] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[14:58] Rin**
Hey, Haru. There's still time
before the opening ceremony.
**[15:01] Rin**
Wanna go check out the venue?
**[15:02] Ikuya**
Oh, good idea.
**[15:05] Ikuya**
What?
**[15:06] Rin**
Oh, uh... Where's Haru?
**[15:08] Ikuya**
Bathroom, probably.
**[15:10] Ikuya**
We can just meet in the
lobby in ten minutes, right?
**[15:12] Rin**
R-Right...
**[15:21] Azuma**
Kinjo...
**[15:23] Kinjo**
I don't blame you.
**[15:25] Kinjo**
I feel like you had a lot going on, too.
**[15:29] Azuma**
Sorry.
**[15:30] Azuma**
I couldn't think about anything but
what was happening before my eyes.
**[15:35] Kinjo**
Can you not do that?
**[15:37] Kinjo**
I don't want to hear excuses.
**[15:39] Kinjo**
Well, I'm hoping you won't leave
that Nanase guy out in the cold.
**[15:45] Kinjo**
Since you only care about
match results, Azuma-sensei.
**[16:09] Ikuya**
The two of you came here before?
**[16:12] Rin**
Yeah. This was my practice
base for a while, too.
**[16:16] Haruka**
I came just once last year.
**[16:18] Rin**
Haru looked like he was
about to die that time.
**[16:23] Haruka**
Did not.
**[16:25] Rin**
Like you can talk.
**[16:27] Ikuya**
I can see that this is an
important place to both of you.
**[16:33] Haruka**
Yeah, it is.
**[16:37] Haruka**
It's where I found my dream.
**[16:41] Makoto**
Haru says he's gone inside
the opening ceremony venue!
**[16:43] Asahi**
It's almost time, huh?
**[16:45] Sosuke**
That Rin never tells me anything.
**[16:47] Kisumi**
It's because you never reply, Sosuke.

Shut up.

It's normal to be anxious when

You're a funny guy.

You remind me of Momo.

You can just call me "Asahi."
**[17:33] Sosuke**
And you can call me "Sosuke."
**[17:34] Asahi**
Well, then, Sosuke, race against
my special butterfly sometime!
**[17:39] Sosuke**
I'll think about it.
**[17:41] Kisumi**
Are you already swimming in rehab?
**[17:44] Sosuke**
Yeah, I'm gradually swimming farther.

Man, you raised a hell of a monster, too, huh?

I only taught him when he was really young.

Albert doesn't even remember.

Thank you very much.

Nanase-kun and the others are
swimming at the world level, huh?
**[19:55] Ayumu**
Yes, it's truly amazing.
**[19:57] Sasabe**
Well, I practically raised Haruka and Rin.
**[20:02] Amakata**
Huh? But didn't they both end up
quitting swimming in front of you?
**[20:08] Sasabe**
N-No need to fixate on the details!

Good work.

Oh, thanks, Makoto.

Looks like everything's going well.
**[20:21] Natsuya**
I'm a good teacher.
**[20:24] Natsuya**
What are you laughing at?
**[20:26] Nao**
Nothing. I was just thinking
that you hadn't changed.
**[20:29] Natsuya**
Just so you know,
**[20:30] Natsuya**
Sosuke and I are both aiming for the world.
**[20:35] Nao**
Yeah?

Then Makoto and I will do

What's wrong?
**[20:52] Haruka**
Nothing.
**[20:54] Haruka**
Just thinking there's a lot going on...
**[20:57] Azuma**
What are you talking about?
**[20:59] Azuma**
Are you nervous?
**[21:03] Haruka**
My heart's pounding.
**[21:06] Haruka**
A prodigy, or an ordinary person...
**[21:09] Haruka**
Today's match is especially important.
**[21:14] Azuma**
I told you to relax.
**[21:17] Rin**
I'm less nervous than I expected.
**[21:21] Rin**
I'm excited to just get out there and swim.
**[21:25] Ikuya**
I heard about how your
presence influenced Haru.
**[21:29] Ikuya**
From Makoto and my brother.
**[21:33] Ikuya**
After spending time with you,
**[21:36] Ikuya**
I've concluded that you're weird, Rin.
**[21:41] Rin**
Jeez, if you've swum with Haru,
then you understand, right?
**[21:46] Rin**
I'm the one who got caught up...
**[21:49] Rin**
in his freestyle.
**[21:54] Ikuya**
I agree with you that Haru is special.
**[21:58] Ikuya**
But unlike you, I'm nervous.
**[22:01] Rin**
You look fired up enough to me, though.
**[22:09] Rin**
Sounds like it's about time.
**[22:11] Rin**
His first world championships!
**[22:41] Nagisa**
Jeez, Haru-chan should look happier!

Looks like you can swim
pretty well, you bastard.

Don't be satisfied with the qualifiers.

It's time for Rin's qualifier.
**[27:11] Ikuya**
Are you worried?
**[27:15] Haruka**
I know how he feels about
swimming competitively.
**[27:34] Momotaro**
It's Rin-senpai's rocket start!
**[27:37] Makoto**
It's a good start!
**[27:38] Sosuke**
Rin's going pretty fast right from the start.
**[27:44] Mikhail**
It's not a bad strategy.
**[27:46] Mikhail**
But his speed is all over the place.
**[27:49] Mikhail**
At this rate, he'll be overtaken.
**[27:52] Nitori**
Oh, no! Rin-senpai's been

Rin finished fifth.
**[28:22] Nitori**
To place fifth in a qualifier...
**[28:25] Nagisa**
Does this mean it'll be hard for
him to move on to the semifinals?
**[28:31] Ikuya**
Haru!
**[28:34] Kinjo**
Hey, now, do you have time
to worry about someone else...
**[28:37] Kinjo**
Hero of the mermaid princess, Ikuya-kun?
**[28:42] Ikuya**
I thought you didn't like
pretending to be friends.
**[28:45] Kinjo**
He and I aren't swimming
in some half-assed relay.
**[28:51] Nao**
Sudo Kotetsu...
**[28:53] Nao**
An all-rounder who used to
swim the individual medley.
**[28:56] Nao**
This year, a number of top swimmers retired,
**[28:59] Nao**
so there was less competition
in the breaststroke.
**[29:01] Natsuya**
So that's why he focused
on the 100m breaststroke
**[29:04] Natsuya**
and is competing against Ikuya now.
**[29:07] Natsuya**
I wouldn't want to swim against him.
**[29:09] Kinjo**
Ikuya-kun, can you even swim breaststroke?
**[29:12] Kinjo**
You were doing the individual medley
and freestyle until right before this.
**[29:17] Ikuya**
I'm just going to swim my own way.
**[29:19] Ikuya**
I'm not hesitating anymore.
**[29:21] Kinjo**
Hey, come on. After you led Hiyori
and your brother on so much?
**[29:26] Kinjo**
Don't get cocky now.
**[29:51] Hiyori**
Ikuya!
**[30:05] Asahi**

**[30:07] Asahi**

**[30:11] Kinjo**
I didn't want to see that
sorry excuse for swimming.
**[30:14] Kinjo**
You and Sudo are leagues apart.
**[30:18] Kinjo**
And when there are
people cheering for you...
**[30:23] Hiyori**
Hey, Shiina-kun.

**[30:50] All**
Yes, sir!
**[30:51] Japan Team Coach**
That's all! Dismissed!
**[30:54] All**
Good work today!
**[30:57] Nao**
I didn't think it'd end up being so close.
**[31:00] Natsuya**
Yeah.
**[31:01] Natsuya**
Rin's butterfly and Ikuya's breaststroke...
**[31:04] Natsuya**
Neither one of them came anywhere
close to their personal bests.
**[31:08] Natsuya**
They were overwhelmed.
**[31:10] Nao**
And after seeing Albert's swimming
in the freestyle qualifier...
**[31:15] Natsuya**
It's hard to say what'll happen
with Haruka or Kinjo, huh?
**[31:20] Hiyori**
Shiina-kun, you can really hang in there.
**[31:23] Asahi**
Yeah, and your strokes
have gotten longer, too.
**[31:28] Kisumi**
I'm left out again.
**[31:29] Asahi**
I'll play basketball with you
sometime, okay? So quit sulking.
**[31:34] Kisumi**
Really?
**[31:35] Asahi**
Anyway, you're the one who said out
of the blue that you wanted to swim.
**[31:39] Hiyori**
Doing nothing was killing me.
**[31:42] Hiyori**
I couldn't just sit still.
**[31:46] Asahi**
Ikuya's much stronger on the
inside than he looks, you know.
**[31:52] Asahi**
Yeah. I'm sure Ikuya will
get back up again.
***SIGN*** Ikuya Calling...
**[32:04] Ikuya**
Hey, Bro?
**[32:06] Natsuya**
*Hey, I saw your race.*
**[32:09] Natsuya**
*Are you all right?*
**[32:12] Ikuya**
Yeah, I guess...
**[32:15] Ikuya**
* It's been a while since*
* I've felt this frustrated.*
**[32:20] Natsuya**
*I see.*
**[32:22] Ikuya**
Bro, you might laugh at me, but I...
**[32:27] Ikuya**
I want my swimming to be amazing.
**[32:29] Ikuya**
I don't want anyone to
finish before me anymore.
**[32:30] Ikuya**
* I don't want anyone to*
* finish before me anymore.*
**[32:35] Ikuya**
* Hey, you're going to training*
* camp again this year, right?*
**[32:40] Ikuya**
I want to do your special training with you.
**[32:44] Ikuya**
*Can I go, too?*
**[32:45] Natsuya**
Yeah, of course.
**[32:48] Ikuya**
*Sorry.*
**[32:50] Ikuya**
I feel like I always act
so spoiled around you.
**[32:56] Natsuya**
*Idiot.*
**[32:57] Natsuya**
Being with you makes me nervous,
**[33:00] Natsuya**
*but it's super fun for me.*
**[33:04] Natsuya**
*So don't worry about it.*
**[33:06] Ikuya**
Okay. Thanks.
**[33:10] Natsuya**
Bye. Don't catch a cold.
**[33:14] Nao**
What did he say?
**[33:15] Natsuya**
Ikuya wants to do special training.
**[33:18] Natsuya**
He sounded really motivated.
**[33:21] Nao**
Ikuya's gotten stronger, huh?
**[33:27] Natsuya**
Well, he *is* my little brother, after all.
**[33:31] Nao**
Yeah.
**[33:32] Natsuya**
What's so funny, Nao?
**[33:36] Azuma**
Matsuoka got tired in the second half.
**[33:39] Azuma**
Even if he was feeling good,
he should have paced himself better.
**[33:43] Azuma**
And Kirishima's little brother
needed more fine-tuning.
**[33:48] Azuma**
What?
**[33:50] Haruka**
I can't believe you can
look at it so objectively.
**[33:54] Azuma**
You need to be able to reflect
and analyze in order to compete.
**[33:57] Azuma**
If you're too easygoing and don't
get objective, you'll lose.
**[34:01] Haruka**
Rin and Ikuya also practiced really hard.
**[34:05] Haruka**
Don't say they're easygoing.
**[34:07] Azuma**
Everyone practices hard.
**[34:10] Mikhail**
Isn't that meat pie good?
**[34:13] Rin**
Oh, yes.
**[34:15] Rin**
Anyway, don't you think you
bought too many souvenirs?
**[34:18] Mikhail**
Rin-kun, having lots of luggage
makes life worth living!
**[34:26] Rin**
I see.
**[34:27] Mikhail**
Of course, sometimes that
luggage ties you down, but...
**[34:34] Mikhail**
You already noticed that
your kick was off, right?
**[34:37] Mikhail**
There really is a lot
to learn from that race.
**[34:41] Rin**
Yes.
**[34:42] Mikhail**
Well, we can talk about that tomorrow.
**[34:44] Mikhail**
Don't get back to the hotel too late.
**[34:47] Mikhail**
Once things calm down again,
we can rework your goals.
**[34:52] Rin**
Thank you very much.
**[35:07] Azuma**
C'mon, you made it past the qualifier.
**[35:11] Azuma**
You should be thinking about how
you'll swim your freestyle tomorrow.
**[35:14] Haruka**
I know.
**[35:16] Azuma**
Then get over it already and go to sleep!
**[35:19] Haruka**
Yes, sir.
**[35:21] Azuma**
Why the hell am I so annoyed?
**[35:34] Ikuya**
Can I sit next to you?
**[35:36] Rin**
Oh... Sure.
**[35:41] Ikuya**
We lost, huh?
**[35:42] Rin**
What, are we licking each
other's wounds now?
**[35:44] Ikuya**
Yeah, that's what I came here for.
**[35:49] Rin**
You're plenty weird, too.
**[35:52] Ikuya**
Not as weird as you, though.
**[35:55] Rin**
You're one to talk.
**[35:59] Ikuya**
I looked at the stars like this
with Haru a long time ago.
**[36:04] Rin**
Yeah.
**[36:05] Ikuya**
Wishing I could swim faster...
**[36:11] Rin**
Yeah...
**[36:21] Ikuya**
Rin, were you happy that Haru won today?
**[36:25] Ikuya**
Or...
**[36:27] Ikuya**
were you frustrated?
**[36:35] Rin**
My relationship with him
**[36:37] Rin**
isn't that simple.
**[36:43] Ikuya**
I see...
**[36:45] Ikuya**
Then what about you?
**[36:48] Ikuya**
What do you want to do?
**[36:50] Rin**
Huh?
**[36:58] Rei**
I hope Haruka-senpai and
the others are all right.
**[37:02] Rei**
It's so hard to just watch them.
**[37:06] Makoto**
*Yeah.*
**[37:08] Makoto**
I can't really calm down, either.
**[37:10] Makoto**
But right now, let's believe
in Haru and the others.
**[37:16] Rei**
It makes me feel a little
better to hear you say that.
**[37:21] Makoto**
I also feel a little relieved
after talking to you, Rei.
**[37:25] Makoto**
*Thanks.*
**[37:26] Rei**
Don't mention it.
**[37:29] Makoto**
I'll talk to you later.
**[37:31] Rei**
*Okay, bye.*
**[37:41] Makoto**
All right.
**[37:48] Makoto**
I pray everyone's feelings will reach Haru.
**[38:12] (Flashback) Makoto**
Haru-chan...
**[38:17] (Flashback) Makoto**
L-Listen, Haru-chan...
**[38:23] (Flashback) Makoto**
Uh...
**[38:29] (Flashback) Makoto**
W-Wait...
**[38:33] (Flashback) Makoto**
Haru-chan!
**[38:35] (Flashback) Makoto**
Haru-chan!
**[38:57] Nao**
You really do have a strong core.
**[38:59] Nao**
Were you using about 70% strength just now?
**[39:02] Sosuke**
I can keep going.
**[39:03] Nao**
Okay, but don't force yourself.
**[39:07] Nao**
I realize you're impatient
after your injury, but...
**[39:09] Sosuke**
I'm following your advice.
**[39:12] Sosuke**
"Don't use power to force things.
**[39:14] Sosuke**
Connections are important."
**[39:16] Sosuke**
It's from aikido, right?
**[39:20] Nao**
It's your talent that allows you to
immediately put it into practice.
**[39:24] Natsuya**
That breaststroke was like a butterfly.
**[39:26] Makoto**
Looks like it's going well, Sosuke.
**[39:28] Sosuke**
Yeah. It's probably because I've swum
pretty much everything since Tokitsu.
**[39:33] Makoto**
Is there anything I can help with?
**[39:35] Sosuke**
Let's see...
**[39:37] Sosuke**
Can you look at my turns after this?
**[39:40] Sosuke**
Since we have similar builds, I want
to hear about how you use your body.
**[39:44] Makoto**
Okay, sure.
**[39:50] Kinjo**
You finally get to swim, Albert.
**[39:53] Kinjo**
Show me your best swimming.
**[39:59] Kinjo**
H-Hey!
**[40:19] Mikhail**
Based on the qualifiers,
**[40:21] Mikhail**
it looks like Albert won't hold back, huh?
**[40:23] Azuma**
Yeah, with this lineup, you could
basically look at this as the finals.
**[40:30] Rin**
Haru...
**[40:32] Sosuke**
Makoto, relax.
**[40:35] Sosuke**
Everyone feels the same way.
**[40:38] Makoto**
Yeah, I know...
**[41:08] Asahi**
How is he so fast?!
**[41:12] Kinjo**
*Damn it! Albert, you bastard!*
**[41:16] Rei**
It's faster than the qualifiers!
**[41:18] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[41:24] Ikuya**
Albert's going into the turn.
**[41:30] Mikhail**
Kinjo's turning, too!
**[41:32] Rin**
Don't let them get away from you, Haru!
**[41:39] Sosuke**
I definitely didn't expect this.
**[41:41] Makoto**
This is Albert's stroke that
cuts deep into your heart...
**[42:08] Haruka**
*What...*
**[42:12] Haruka**
*is this feeling?*
**[42:48] Haruka**
*I...*
**[42:52] (Flashback) Rin**
You think no one can beat you
in the water, don't you?
**[42:58] Haruka**
*Oh, yeah.*
**[43:04] Haruka**
*I...*
**[43:11] Kinjo**
*What is this intimidation I'm feeling?*
**[43:14] Makoto**
He changed his pace?
**[43:15] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[43:20] Rin**
Haru!
**[43:21] Kinjo**
*Damn it!*
**[43:44] Ikuya**
What a race...
**[43:46] Kisumi**
Did Haru lose?
**[43:48] Asahi**
Well, Albert had a huge lead,
**[43:50] Asahi**
but Haru and Kinjo are
both going to the finals!
**[43:53] Gou/Rei/Nagisa/Romio/Shizuru**
All right!
**[43:59] Kinjo**
Why...
**[44:02] Kinjo**
How did I lose?
**[44:05] Azuma**
You got faster again.
**[44:11] Rin**
Haru...
**[44:13] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Rin, were you happy?
**[44:15] (Flashback) Ikuya**
Or...
**[44:17] (Flashback) Ikuya**
were you frustrated?
**[44:31] Ikuya**
Haru!
**[44:32] Ikuya**
Are you okay?!
**[44:37] Haruka**
Sorry...
**[44:49] Haruka**
What do I need to do to swim faster?
**[44:52] Azuma**
Where's this coming from?
**[44:54] Azuma**
There's still the fina—
**[44:56] Haruka**
I can't win if I'm too easygoing, right?
**[44:58] Rin**
Ikuya!
**[44:59] Rin**
Where's Haru?
**[45:01] Azuma**
Calm down!
**[45:06] Azuma**
Come back after you've calmed down a bit.
**[45:52] Haruka**
What happened?
**[45:54] Japanese Staff**
Oh, Nanase-san!
**[45:56] Japanese Staff**
It seems like Albert suddenly went home!
**[45:59] Japanese Staff**
At this rate, he'll be
withdrawn from the race!
**[46:04] Mikhail**
I never thought he'd boycott the final.
**[46:07] Kinjo**
Is he serious?
**[46:10] Haruka**
We just have to swim like we usually do.
**[46:14] Kinjo**
What are you so mad about?
**[46:17] Kinjo**
Hey!
**[46:18] Sosuke**
Albert's not there?
**[46:20] Kisumi**
Does this mean Haru has a
better chance of medalling?
**[46:25] Asahi**
But he definitely wanted
to compete against him.
**[46:56] Interviewer A**
Congratulations on your first bronze medal!
**[47:00] Interviewer B**
Please tell us how you feel right now!
**[47:03] Kinjo**
Nothing much...
**[47:07] Nagisa**
Haru-chan didn't get a medal!
**[47:10] Rei**
He was in the top 8, though!
**[47:13] Rei**
That's plenty impressive!
**[47:17] Makoto**
Haru, you really did a great job!
**[47:20] Makoto**
Congratulations on making the top 8!
**[47:22] Haruka**
Thanks.
**[47:24] Makoto**
I was really nervous watching you,
**[47:27] Makoto**
but I'm glad you were able to finish.
**[47:29] Haruka**
I don't really remember it.
**[47:32] Haruka**
It felt like I wasn't myself.
**[47:36] Haruka**
But don't worry.
**[47:39] Haruka**
I was able to swim in that place.
**[47:42] Makoto**
Yeah, the place you said was your dream.
**[47:48] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[47:49] Haruka**
It finally took shape.
**[47:52] Rin**
Sounds like your rehab's going well, Sosuke.
**[47:55] Sosuke**
Yeah.
**[47:56] Sosuke**
I'm getting advice from Makoto's senpai,
Nao-san, and swimming some.
**[48:01] Sosuke**
You don't have to worry too much about me.
**[48:04] Rin**
Yeah, I know.
**[48:07] Sosuke**
So, how was the world championships?
**[48:10] Rin**
Yeah, it was just like
it appeared in my dreams.
**[48:14] Rin**
My heart was pounding the
whole time I was swimming.
**[48:18] Rin**
But it looks like my feelings and my
body weren't on the same wavelength.
**[48:24] Rin**
I can't win like this.
**[48:29] Sosuke**
You're acting unusually insecure.
**[48:31] Rin**
Well, I'm really frustrated.
**[48:34] Rin**
So frustrated I could go crazy.
**[48:37] Rin**
I want to swim against Kinjo, and Albert,
**[48:40] Rin**
and of course Haru and Ikuya, too.
**[48:43] Rin**
I want to fight them and win.
**[48:45] Rin**
But my weakness came out during the race.
**[48:50] Rin**
I need to win against myself first.
**[48:56] (Flashback) Ikuya**
What do you want to do?
**[48:59] Sosuke**
Well?
**[49:01] Sosuke**
What do you want to do?
**[49:10] Haruka**
This year, I want to swim as much
as I can, until I reach my limit.
**[49:15] Haruka**
So I don't think I'll be
able to see you for a while.
**[49:18] Makoto**
It's fine.
**[49:20] Makoto**
I think the most important thing
**[49:23] Makoto**
is that you're moving forward
on what you want to do.
**[49:28] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[49:30] Rin**
Well, right now, I just...
**[49:34] Haruka/Rin**
I want to be stronger!
**[49:38] Hiyori**
Welcome back, Ikuya!
**[49:39] Ikuya**
Yeah, thanks.
**[49:41] Kisumi**
You were so close in the championships!
**[49:43] Ikuya**
Not really.
**[49:44] Ikuya**
There's still a lot I need to work on.
**[49:46] Ikuya**
That race made that really clear.
**[49:49] Ikuya**
I need to rethink my training for
the next world championships.
**[49:52] Natsuya**
Hey, Ikuya.
**[49:54] Natsuya**
You wanted to do special training, right?
**[49:56] Ikuya**
Bro...
**[49:57] Natsuya**
The place and practice opponents
have already been arranged!
**[50:01] Asahi**
Huh?
**[50:04] Asahi**
What, me?!
**[50:05] Natsuya**
Yeah, Kirishima-style super special training!
**[50:09] Asahi**
Huh?!
**[50:10] Nao**
Another of his off-the-wall ideas...
**[50:12] Natsuya**
Asahi, I'm entering the 200m butterfly
at the next championships.
**[50:16] Natsuya**
Let's show 'em how good buddies swim.
**[50:17] Asahi**
Huh?!
**[50:18] Asahi**
You're bullying your underclassman!
**[50:21] Natsuya**
Quit your complaining.
**[50:21] Hiyori**
Ikuya, do your best at training camp.
**[50:23] Asahi**
Oh, I think I'm well within
my rights to complain!
**[50:25] Hiyori**
I'll do my best, too.
**[50:25] Natsuya**
Yeah, yeah, I can tell you're happy.
**[50:26] Ikuya**
Yeah, thanks, Hiyori.
**[50:29] Asahi**
Hey, Toono! Cheer me on, too!
**[50:33] Hiyori**
Okay, okay. Shiina-kun, do your best, too.
**[50:36] Asahi**
You're just saying that!
**[50:37] Asahi**
Man, you're as Toono as ever, huh?!
**[50:39] Nao**
I wonder what will happen.
**[50:39] Hiyori**
What's wrong with what I said?
**[50:40] Asahi**
Everything!
**[50:43] Kinjo**
Damn it, the afterimage won't go away.
**[50:52] Kinjo**
Kiyo-niichan...
**[50:54] (Flashback) Kiyo**
Kaede, you wanna try swimming with me?
**[51:20] Nagisa**
Aw, the forecast said it
wouldn't rain until tonight.
**[51:26] Rei**
We can't do anything about it.
**[51:32] Gou**
That reminds me,
**[51:34] Gou**
have you two already turned in
your future plans worksheet?
**[51:39] Nagisa**
Of course!
**[51:40] Gou**
So you've both decided?
**[51:42] Rei**
Yes!
**[51:43] Rei**
What are you going to do, Gou-san?
**[51:47] Gou**
I was thinking I'd go to a local university
**[51:50] Gou**
while working and saving money.
**[51:52] Gou**
I have a dream, too.
**[51:55] Nagisa**
Is it to become a muscle
appraiser or something?
**[51:57] Rei**
That's a ridiculously specific future plan!
**[52:00] Gou**
It's still a secret!
**[52:01] Nagisa**
Oh, then a muscle detective?
A muscle storyteller?
**[52:03] Romio**
Shizuru, don't start crying yet.
**[52:05] Rei**
Get off the subject of muscles!
**[52:06] Shizuru**
I know.
**[52:07] Nagisa**
But it's obviously muscle-related, right?
**[52:09] Rei**
What's that even mean?!
**[52:10] Sasabe**
Hey, Hayato!
**[52:12] Sasabe**
You've gotten a lot faster.
**[52:15] Sasabe**
Can you swim one more lap?
**[52:18] Amakata**
Everyone's really growing up fast, huh?
**[52:21] Sasabe**
I'm happy, but part of me is sad, too.
**[52:25] Sasabe**
Haruka and the others
**[52:26] Sasabe**
are already starting to get ready for next
year's world championships in Fukuoka.
**[52:31] Amakata**
Yes, and then there's Athens after that.
**[52:35] Sasabe**
Jeez, they all have such big dreams.
**[52:39] Sasabe**
I wonder just how far they'll go.
**[52:43] Azuma**
So, you want to do the special training
regimen I did when I was still competing?
**[52:48] Haruka**
Yes.
**[52:49] Haruka**
I heard from Rin's coach
that it's pretty tough.
**[52:53] Azuma**
I told you before that you can't win
without throwing something away, right?
**[52:59] Haruka**
I'm not going to throw anything away.
**[53:03] (Flashback) Kiyo**
I want to try swimming for
what's important to me.
**[53:12] Azuma**
Basics first.
**[53:14] Azuma**
We need to remake your body completely.
**[53:17] Azuma**
But only if you're resolved
to do this no matter what.
**[53:26] Azuma**
Use that to call me.
**[53:30] Azuma**
It connects directly to my office.
**[53:32] Mikhail**
I see.
**[53:34] Mikhail**
Nanase-kun might be kind of similar...
**[53:36] Mikhail**
to the old Ryuuji.
**[53:39] Mikhail**
For better or for worse.
**[53:42] Mikhail**
It's possible I'm seeing my old self, too.
**[53:46] Mikhail**
If that's the case, then I guess
I might just have to test
**[53:51] Mikhail**
his resolve.
**[53:55] Mikhail**
Okay, Rin-kun.
**[53:57] Mikhail**
After the break, let's focus on your turns.
**[54:01] Rin**
Got it.
**[54:02] Mikhail**
Also, I have one more proposition for you.
**[54:09] Natsuya**
Ikuya, your turns have gotten better again.
**[54:12] Ikuya**
I guess.
**[54:13] Natsuya**
Okay, that's enough for today.
Time to get out.
**[54:17] Ikuya**
I'll go back after I cool down.
**[54:19] Asahi**
Oh, same here.
**[54:21] Natsuya**
Okay. Don't overdo it.
**[54:24] Ikuya/Asahi**
Right.
**[54:24] Ikuya/Asahi**
I won't.
**[54:31] Ikuya**
My brother keeps treating me like a kid.
**[54:37] Asahi**
He's worried about you.
**[54:40] Ikuya**
You think so?
**[54:42] Asahi**
For your information, I was
worried about you, too.
**[54:46] Ikuya**
Oh, sorry.
**[54:48] Asahi**
Well, I'm just glad you're back.
**[54:54] Ikuya**
Thanks.
**[54:56] Ikuya**
Ever since I lost against Sudo at the
championships, I've been thinking...
**[55:01] Ikuya**
What do I have to do to get stronger?
**[55:06] Ikuya**
I felt like Kinjo and Sudo saw
through the weakness inside me.
**[55:12] Asahi**
I don't know about the complicated stuff,
**[55:15] Asahi**
but I like your swimming right now the best.
**[55:19] Asahi**
You'll definitely win next time!
**[55:22] Asahi**
You know, since your breaststroke
has always been special!
**[55:26] Asahi**
I guarantee it!
**[55:29] Ikuya**
I don't hate that positive
part of you, Asahi.
**[55:34] Asahi**
What the hell, man? Just say you like it!
**[55:37] Ikuya**
No way I'm saying that, stupid Asahi.
**[55:39] Asahi**
Jeez, Ikuya, you're so cold.
**[55:42] Ikuya**
Just to you, Asahi.
**[55:44] Asahi**
Huh? Hey, you—
**[55:47] Nao**
It's just what you were after, huh, Natsuya?
**[55:49] Nao**
Ikuya and Asahi are both
getting a lot faster.
**[55:53] Natsuya**
Well, of course.
**[55:55] Nao**
There are pro scouts with
an eye on Ikuya, too, right?
**[55:59] Nao**
Do you think he'll be able to decide?
**[56:02] Natsuya**
Who knows?
**[56:04] Natsuya**
I'm going to do some dryland training.
**[56:06] Natsuya**
I won't be able to act cool as an
older brother if I don't get results.
**[56:14] Hiyori**
The training regimen you made is
pretty tough, Tachibana-kun.
**[56:19] Sosuke**
Yeah, it is.
**[56:21] Makoto**
I think it'll be much harder once
Nao-senpai gets back, though.
**[56:26] Hiyori**
I wonder if I can take it.
**[56:29] Makoto**
You'll be fine.
**[56:31] Makoto**
Okay, let's start again this
afternoon at two o'clock.
**[56:35] Sosuke**
Hey, Makoto.
**[56:36] Sosuke**
Before we finish, wanna have a race?
**[56:39] Makoto**
Huh?!
**[56:40] Sosuke**
For a change of pace.
**[56:42] Sosuke**
I heard from Rin that you're still swimming.
**[56:46] Sosuke**
You in, Toono?
**[56:47] Hiyori**
A race? I like the sound of that.
**[56:50] Hiyori**
What if we have a punishment for the loser?
**[56:52] Hiyori**
Something really embarrassing.
**[56:54] Sosuke**
Interesting.
**[56:56] Hiyori**
It's decided, then.
**[56:57] Makoto**
Wait, I didn't say—
**[57:02] Sosuke**
That reminds me, is Haru okay?
**[57:06] Makoto**
Yeah, he said he's getting motivated.
**[57:09] Sosuke**
I see.
**[57:11] Sosuke**
Rin said something like that, too.
**[57:13] Makoto**
It was too bad about Ikuya, too.
**[57:15] Sosuke**
Yeah, especially when he's so talented.
**[57:20] Hiyori**
Thanks.
**[57:21] Sosuke**
Why are *you* saying thanks?
**[57:25] Sosuke**
Those guys are amazing, though, huh?
**[57:28] Makoto**
Yeah, under all that pressure...
**[57:31] Hiyori**
Maybe their strong feelings
came out in their swimming.
**[57:34] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[57:36] Makoto**
I'm sure they've had those feelings
since they started swimming.
**[57:41] Sosuke**
It's strange, huh?
**[57:43] Sosuke**
When we were young, we just swam
until we forgot about everything else.
**[57:48] Makoto**
I couldn't even imagine the future.
**[57:51] Sosuke**
The future, huh?
**[57:53] Makoto**
Yeah, everyone's future.
**[57:56] Hiyori**
Our future...

Cheers!
**[59:22] Natsuya**
What, no one's drinking alcohol?
**[59:25] Nao**
Yeah, they're not old enough to drink yet.
**[59:27] Sosuke**
We should start with edamame, right?
**[59:29] Haruka**
Mackerel salad.
**[59:31] Rin**
No, hurry up and order some real food.
**[59:35] Kisumi**
Oh, how cute!
**[59:38] Kisumi**
That was the punishment?
***SIGN*** Loser Loser
**[59:40] Makoto**
Hey, what are you doing?!
**[59:42] Hiyori**
Sorry, Shigino-kun said he wanted to see.
**[59:45] Kisumi**
Sosuke, you should smile more.
**[59:48] Sosuke**
Be quiet.
**[59:51] Rin**
Haru...
**[59:52] Rin**
Good work this year.
**[59:55] Rin**
Are you okay?
**[59:56] Haruka**
Yeah. What about you, Rin?
**[59:58] Haruka**
Well...
**[1:00:03] Rin**
I'd be lying if I said I was.
**[1:00:06] Rin**
I had confidence...
**[1:00:08] Rin**
But I feel like it's been broken.
**[1:00:11] Haruka**
I see.
**[1:00:12] Rin**
Anyway, I'll do what it takes
to kick this frustration.
**[1:00:17] Haruka**
I want to beat Albert, too.
**[1:00:19] Haruka**
I understand how you feel.
**[1:00:21] Rin**
You can say it out loud now, huh?
**[1:00:24] Haruka**
Be quiet.
**[1:00:28] Rin**
And? What will you do after that?
**[1:00:31] Rin**
The Athens championships?
**[1:00:33] Haruka**
I don't know.
**[1:00:35] Rin**
There will be more world championships
after Athens, too, you know.
**[1:00:39] Rin**
There'll be more... and more...
**[1:00:43] Haruka**
I don't really care.
**[1:00:45] Kisumi**
Oh, this is cute, too!
**[1:00:48] Ikuya**
It's the house where Rin had his homestay.
**[1:00:51] Asahi**
Oh, that's a nice place!
**[1:00:53] Rin**
I'm going to the bathroom.
**[1:00:53] Iyori**
This was the last day?
**[1:00:55] Ikuya**
Yeah.
**[1:00:55] Haruka**
Okay.
**[1:01:04] Rin**
Makoto...
**[1:01:06] Sosuke**
Can I sit here?
**[1:01:07] Haruka**
Sure.
**[1:01:10] Sosuke**
Did Rin say anything earlier?
**[1:01:12] Haruka**
Not really.
**[1:01:14] Sosuke**
I see.
**[1:01:16] Sosuke**
Swimming against someone really
strong takes a lot out of you, huh?
**[1:01:21] Sosuke**
That's something you just
have to get used to.
**[1:01:24] Sosuke**
I've felt it many times, too.
**[1:01:28] Sosuke**
Hey, Haru. Keep moving forward, okay?
**[1:01:32] Sosuke**
Rin and I are both keeping
an eye on where you go.
**[1:01:36] Haruka**
I'm not planning on stopping.
**[1:01:39] Haruka**
Probably not...
**[1:01:42] Rin**
Do I look that gloomy to you?
**[1:01:44] Makoto**
Yeah, in your own way.
**[1:01:46] Makoto**
I think you're pretty
easy to understand, Rin.
**[1:01:49] Rin**
Your intuition is just too sharp.
**[1:01:53] Makoto**
You know, if I hadn't met you,
**[1:01:56] Makoto**
I think I'd be still be a lot more shy.
**[1:02:01] Makoto**
As I watch you move steadily forward,
**[1:02:03] Makoto**
I feel like I've gained so many
important things from you.
**[1:02:07] Makoto**
That's why it worries me when you're down.
**[1:02:10] Rin**
Thanks. I'm glad you were
there back then, too, Makoto.
**[1:02:18] Rin**
I've always felt you supporting me.
**[1:02:24] Rin**
The kids you teach are lucky to have you.
**[1:02:27] Makoto**
Aw, not really.
**[1:02:32] Rin**
Hey, Makoto.
**[1:02:35] Rin**
I've decided.
**[1:02:41] Ikuya**
Jeez, Bro, you're drunk again.
**[1:02:44] Nao**
Once you're all old enough,
be careful how much you drink.
**[1:02:47] Hiyori**
Yeah, for sure.
**[1:02:49] Asahi**
I'm the first to turn twenty!
**[1:02:52] Kisumi**
I'm second!
**[1:02:53] Asahi**
Ikuya, you're the youngest, right?
**[1:02:56] Ikuya**
You're treating me like a kid again!
**[1:02:58] Kisumi**
Man, I can't wait until I'm twenty.
**[1:03:02] Hiyori**
Why are you looking at me when you say that?!
**[1:03:04] Sosuke**
What's wrong?
**[1:03:06] Haruka**
Nothing...
**[1:03:15] Haruka**
Once you hit twenty,
you're just an ordinary person.
**[1:03:27] Hiyori**
I'm just going to Kyoto,
so I'll take a later train.
**[1:03:31] Kisumi**
And I'm going to my uncle's
first before I go home.
**[1:03:35] Makoto**
Okay, got it.
**[1:03:36] Ikuya**
See you after New Year's, then!
**[1:03:36] Asahi**
Later!
**[1:03:38] Makoto**
Happy New Year!
**[1:05:22] Makoto**
Wow, this takes me back!
**[1:05:26] Amakata**
Jeez, it hasn't even been a year!
**[1:05:27] Nagisa**
Oof...
**[1:05:28] Haruka**
Still, it feels nostalgic.
**[1:05:31] Nagisa**
Hey, Haru-chan, look!
**[1:05:34] Rei**
I told you to put that away!
**[1:05:36] Haruka**
It's really good.
**[1:05:37] Gou**

**[1:05:45] Rei**
Yes!
**[1:05:47] Makoto**
Really? That's great!
**[1:05:50] Makoto**
We took a long time deciding.

Oh, right! We also decided on the next

Yes.

Romio-kun, I've heard that you have
a good feel for swimming, too.
**[1:06:27] Makoto**
Do your best.
**[1:06:28] Romio**
I-I will!
**[1:06:29] Nagisa**
Oh, Mako-chan's magnanimity is overflowing!

It's because of Tokyo... It's Tokyo's fault!

**[1:06:37] Ayumu**
Can we ask you to carve
a new Iwatobi-chan, too?
**[1:06:40] Shizuru**
Out of this, please.
**[1:06:41] Gou**
A dried bonito?!
**[1:06:43] Haruka**
Got it. Leave it to me.
**[1:06:46] Rei**
What amazing speed!
**[1:06:48] Shizuru**
As expected of Chappy-senpai!
**[1:06:51] Nitori**
What are you doing, Momo-kun?
**[1:06:53] Momotaro**
I'm researching how Pyunsuke can
be strong like Sosuke-senpai!
**[1:06:58] Sosuke**
Like me?
**[1:07:00] Momotaro**
Sosuke-senpai?!
**[1:07:01] Rin**
Hey, long time no see.
**[1:07:03] Nitori**
Long time no see!
**[1:07:05] Sosuke**
Momo, how's your studying going?
**[1:07:07] Momotaro**
I-It's going great!
**[1:07:09] Rin**
Really?
**[1:07:10] Nitori**
Don't worry!
**[1:07:12] Nitori**
Recently, Momo-kun's been getting good
scores in both school and swimming.
**[1:07:17] Rin**
Oh, you've been working hard, huh, Momo?
**[1:07:19] Sosuke**
Wow...
**[1:07:22] Momotaro**
Sosuke-senpai, I can help you study any time!
**[1:07:25] Sosuke**
Don't get ahead of yourself.
**[1:07:28] Momotaro**
With this momentum, I'll beat Ai-senpai
and become the next captain!
**[1:07:34] Seijuro**
That's the spirit, Momotaro!

Hey!
**[1:07:40] Seijuro**
Then you can give up your New Year's holiday

**[1:07:48] Momotaro**
Why me?!
**[1:07:51] Ikuya**
I'm home.
**[1:07:53] Natsuya**
Oh, you're back?
**[1:07:55] Ikuya**
Huh, the New Year's osechi is ready so soon?
**[1:07:58] Ikuya**
Wait, what are you eating?!
**[1:08:00] Natsuya**
The last kazunoko.
**[1:08:02] Ikuya**
No fair! What about mine?
**[1:08:04] Natsuya**
You don't get any. It's a
big brother's privilege.
**[1:08:07] Natsuya**
You can eat it next year.
**[1:08:10] Natsuya**
Hey! My kamaboko!
**[1:08:13] Ikuya**
It's a little brother's privilege!
**[1:08:14] Natsuya**
There's no such thing!
**[1:08:17] Natsuya**
You little—
**[1:08:18] Natsuya**
Stop that!
**[1:08:19] Ikuya**
You're the one who started it.
**[1:08:21] Natsuya**
That doesn't mean—
**[1:08:49] Hiyori**
Kinjo?
**[1:08:51] Kinjo**
Hey.
**[1:08:52] Kinjo**
It's unusual for you to talk to me first.
**[1:08:57] Hiyori**
You looked unusually down.
**[1:09:01] Kinjo**
Well, after losing like that...
**[1:09:08] Kinjo**
I couldn't do anything.
**[1:09:10] Kinjo**
And I had staked everything on that...
**[1:09:13] Hiyori**
Ikuya said something like that, too.
**[1:09:15] Kinjo**
That's different. He's well-off.
**[1:09:19] Ikuya**
Ikuya has things he worries about, too.
**[1:09:24] Natsuya**
It's open.
**[1:09:27] Ikuya**
Bro, I have something to tell you.
**[1:09:30] Natsuya**
Did you decide?
**[1:09:32] Natsuya**
What's that look all about?
**[1:09:35] Natsuya**
It's your own future, right?
**[1:09:37] Ikuya**
Yeah, you're right.
**[1:09:40] Ikuya**
At the next competition, I—
**[1:09:48] Natsuya**
Okay.
**[1:09:50] Hiyori**
Ikuya's made up his mind.
**[1:09:52] Hiyori**
So I'm going to move forward, too,
**[1:09:54] Hiyori**
for my dream.
**[1:09:56] (Flashback) Kiyo**
The answer is in the water.
**[1:10:00] (Flashback) Kiyo**
Okay, Kaede?
**[1:10:05] Kinjo**
Nope, I still don't get it.
**[1:10:07] Kinjo**
After swimming with Albert,
**[1:10:10] Kinjo**
I thought that it wasn't so easy,
**[1:10:14] Kinjo**
but I think that Nanase guy
took it harder than I did.
**[1:10:19] Hiyori**
Huh?
**[1:10:42] Makoto**
It's been a long time since
I've seen this view, too.
**[1:10:45] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[1:10:47] Makoto**
You know, I was actually a
little scared to go to Tokyo.
**[1:10:53] Makoto**
But I'm glad I took the leap.
**[1:10:57] Makoto**
I think it's thanks to you guys.
**[1:10:59] Haruka**
You decided for yourself. You can have
more confidence in your decision.
**[1:11:04] Makoto**
"You should just be yourself," right?
**[1:11:08] Haruka**
How long are you going to remember that?
**[1:11:14] Makoto**
What about you, Haru? Are you
able to swim the way you want?
**[1:11:18] Haruka**
I don't know.
**[1:11:21] Haruka**
When I remember my race
with him, I feel antsy.
**[1:11:25] Haruka**
His swimming was very cold and sad.
**[1:11:30] Makoto**
Haru...
**[1:11:44] Makoto**
I'm not sure how to say this,
**[1:11:47] Makoto**
but I'm sure you can—
**[1:11:56] Makoto**
Oh, crap! What should I do?
**[1:11:58] Makoto**
I promised Ran and Ren that
I'd play a game with them.
**[1:12:01] Makoto**
Sorry, Haru. I gotta head back now.
**[1:12:04] Haruka**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Iwatobi Elementary School

Rin...
**[1:13:10] Rin**
It's like our origin, huh?
**[1:13:15] Rin**
Whenever I come here, I remember things.
**[1:13:18] Haruka**
Yeah...
**[1:13:19] Rin**
It feels like just yesterday,
**[1:13:21] Rin**
but it also feels like so long ago.
**[1:13:27] Haruka**
It feels like the past to me.
**[1:13:29] Haruka**
I'm different from how I was back then.
**[1:13:33] Rin**
Haru? You...
**[1:13:35] Haruka**
I want to beat Albert at the
next world championships.
**[1:13:39] Haruka**
That's all I can think about right now.
**[1:13:41] Haruka**
I'll aim for the championships
with you and Ikuya.
**[1:13:44] Haruka**
I'm not alone.
**[1:13:47] Haruka**
Ever since that race, I've felt antsy.
**[1:13:52] Haruka**
But...
**[1:13:53] Haruka**
It's thanks to you that I'm able
to feel like I want to fight.
**[1:13:59] Haruka**
So at the next world championships,
you and I will both...
**[1:14:08] Rin**
About that...
**[1:14:10] Rin**
At the next world championships,
Ikuya and I won't be swimming freestyle.
**[1:14:15] Rin**
We'll be focusing on one event.
**[1:14:21] Rin**
I want to go pro.
**[1:14:24] Rin**
Mikhail's found a sponsor for me.
**[1:14:27] Rin**
It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
**[1:14:29] Rin**
But to make that a reality,
**[1:14:30] Rin**
I have to get results at the
next world championships.
**[1:14:34] Rin**
That's why I want to focus on butterfly,
**[1:14:36] Rin**
get a medal, and enter the
Athens championships as a pro.
**[1:14:42] Rin**
Natsuya-san told me that
Ikuya feels the same way.
**[1:14:49] Rin**
I've been thinking all this time
**[1:14:52] Rin**
about how I can keep
swimming from now on.
**[1:14:56] Rin**
What will you do?
**[1:14:58] Rin**
I want to keep fighting alongside
you at the world level.
**[1:15:01] Rin**
Next year,
**[1:15:02] Rin**
and after that...
**[1:15:04] Rin**
So Haru, you—
**[1:15:16] Haruka**
What the heck?
**[1:15:19] Haruka**
That means I'm by myself.
**[1:15:22] Haruka**
By myself, I have to...
**[1:15:31] Haruka**
You're lucky, Rin.
**[1:15:33] Haruka**
Albert doesn't swim butterfly.
**[1:15:35] Rin**
Haru?
**[1:15:39] Rin**
Are you seriously saying that?
**[1:15:42] Haruka**
Yeah, I am.
**[1:15:47] Rin**
Do I look like I made this decision
with no second thoughts at all?
**[1:15:55] Haruka**
Oh, yeah...
**[1:15:57] Haruka**
That's the kind of guy you are.
**[1:16:03] Haruka**
What am I saying?!
**[1:16:06] Haruka**
I told you before.
**[1:16:08] Haruka**
I can't live like you.
**[1:16:12] Haruka**
No! What is this?!
**[1:16:16] Haruka**
You always appear triumphantly
in front of me,
**[1:16:20] Haruka**
drag me into something...
**[1:16:23] Haruka**
This...
**[1:16:24] Haruka**
isn't how I feel!
**[1:16:27] Haruka**
Damn it!
**[1:16:28] Haruka**
Stop!
**[1:16:30] Haruka**
Rin...
**[1:16:30] Haruka**
Stop it already!
**[1:16:32] Haruka**
In the end,
**[1:16:36] Haruka**
you always just suddenly disappear.
**[1:16:46] Rin**
Listen, you...
**[1:16:47] Rin**
I...
**[1:16:48] Rin**
Look, I...
**[1:16:50] Rin**
I...
**[1:17:05] Rin**
I thought the person you are now
would be able to understand.
**[1:17:14] Rin**
I was glad I could swim the relay with you.
**[1:17:18] Haruka**
That goes without saying!
**[1:17:23] Rin**
Do your best to get stronger, Haru.
**[1:17:27] Rin**
You have nothing to do with me anymore.
**[1:17:30] Haruka**
Rin, wait!
**[1:17:37] Haruka**
I can't breathe.
**[1:17:43] Haruka**
Why?
**[1:18:14] [Messenger] Text**
Azuma Cellphone
**[1:18:17] Azuma**
Why are you calling now?
**[1:18:19] Azuma**
At least rest over New Year's.
**[1:18:22] Haruka**
You're the one who said I can't win
if I do what other people do,
**[1:18:25] Haruka**
*Coach.*
**[1:18:30] Azuma**
You've made your decision?
**[1:18:36] Haruka**
I'll throw it all away...
to become stronger.
**[1:18:43] Azuma**
*You're sure about that?*
**[1:18:54] Makoto**
*Hey, Rin?*
**[1:18:56] Makoto**
*It's Makoto. Where are you right now?*
**[1:18:58] Makoto**
* Haru said he'd go to training camp,*
* but I haven't been able to reach him since.*
**[1:19:05] Makoto**
* I was wondering if you'd*
* heard anything from him.*
**[1:19:10] Makoto**
*Sorry, I'll call you back.*
**[1:19:17] Rin**
There's no way he's got
nothing to do with me.
**[1:19:19] Rin**
Idiot...
**[1:20:04] Haruka**
I know that.
**[1:24:19] Haruka**
When you're ten, they call you a prodigy.
**[1:24:21] Haruka**
When you're fifteen, they call you a genius.
**[1:24:25] Haruka**
Once you hit twenty,
you're just an ordinary person.
**[1:24:45] Makoto**
Hey, Haru. I'm really glad I met you.
**[1:24:50] Makoto**
Thanks to you, I've been able
to become a little stronger.
**[1:24:55] Makoto**
When I close my eyes,
**[1:24:57] Makoto**
I can still see so many precious memories.
**[1:25:01] Sosuke**
Rin, you've always been a crybaby,
even though you hate losing.
**[1:25:08] Sosuke**
You've got a passionate
heart hidden in that chest,
**[1:25:11] Sosuke**
so you start running right away
the moment you decide something.
**[1:25:14] Sosuke**
I really have no time to
be bored when I'm with you.
**[1:25:19] Makoto**
We all forgot everything else when we swam.
**[1:25:23] Makoto**
I wonder how we'd look now in the eyes
of the kids we were back then.
**[1:25:28] Sosuke**
When we competed with each other
and made each other better,
**[1:25:32] Sosuke**
we looked like big splashes of water.
**[1:25:37] Sosuke**
That fleeting light...
**[1:25:39] Sosuke**
I remember it like it was yesterday.
**[1:25:43] Makoto**
Next time, in the movie
*Free! The Final Stroke*...
**[1:25:48] Sosuke**
Don't lose focus until you finish the race!
**[1:25:51] Sosuke**
Make that dream you've been
aspiring to come true!
**[1:25:55] Makoto**
Let's go, Haru!
**[1:25:56] Makoto**
The future 400 meters ahead
is right in front of your eyes!

**[00:43] Hiyori**
What?! Shigino-kun said yesterday that
it would rain in the afternoon today!
**[00:48] Ikuya**
* Sorry, I was spacing out,*
* so I don't think I heard him.*
**[00:52] Hiyori**
Ikuya, where are you right now?
**[00:53] Hiyori**
Want me to bring you an umbrella?
**[00:55] Ikuya**
*No.*
**[00:57] Ikuya**
It's okay.
**[00:58] Ikuya**
I might be a little late,
but just wait for me.
**[01:01] Ikuya**
Okay, later.
**[01:09] Kinjo**
What was that?
**[01:11] Ikuya**
Nothing.
**[01:13] Ikuya**
I hope it stops raining soon.
**[01:17] Kinjo**
Sorry.
**[01:19] Ikuya**
About what?
**[01:21] Kinjo**
Well, I've always been
hard on you and Hiyori.
**[01:26] Ikuya**
Huh? Did you eat something weird?
**[01:29] Kinjo**
No, I didn't...
**[01:33] Ikuya**
I thought it was a great
accomplishment, though.
**[01:37] Kinjo**
I was planning on being more
carefree and happy about it.
**[01:41] Kinjo**
The medal that I wanted so much...
**[01:44] Kinjo**
That Albert bastard...
**[01:48] Kinjo**
Not to mention, Nanase on
that day was almost like...
**[01:53] Ikuya**
Haru...
**[01:55] Kinjo**
Never mind, it's nothing.
**[02:00] Kinjo**
Anyway, I apologized, okay?
**[02:08] Sosuke**
He's a cranky guy, isn't he?
**[02:12] Sosuke**
I'm not here because I'm lost.
**[02:14] Ikuya**
Oh, you're lost...
**[02:17] Sosuke**
Kirishima Ikuya. When we were
third-years in high school,
**[02:20] Sosuke**
I was surprised by your medley.
**[02:24] Sosuke**
You're trying to go pro, right?
**[02:27] Sosuke**
I heard from Natsuya-san.
**[02:28] Ikuya**
Yeah. I finally made up my mind.
**[02:32] Ikuya**
I decided to keep trying.
**[02:35] Sosuke**
I see.
**[02:38] Ikuya**
You were Tokitsu's ace, weren't you?
**[02:40] Ikuya**
I heard a lot about you.
**[02:42] Sosuke**
You can call me Sosuke.
**[02:44] Ikuya**
Ikuya's fine for me, too.
**[02:47] Sosuke**
The Sydney championships were tough, huh?
**[02:50] Sosuke**
I can tell by seeing how Kinjo is now.
**[02:52] Sosuke**
Haru and Rin, too.
**[02:54] Ikuya**
Yeah...
**[02:56] Ikuya**
After the 100m freestyle semifinal
in that competition,
**[03:00] Ikuya**
Haru looked—
**[03:00] Hiyori**
Hey!
**[03:02] Hiyori**
Ikuya!
**[03:03] Ikuya**
Huh?
**[03:04] Ikuya**
Jeez, I told him to wait.
**[03:09] Ikuya**
Hey.
**[03:11] Ikuya**
Haru... can win, right?
**[03:15] Momotaro**
I'm gonna win for sure!
**[03:18] Momotaro**
*Victory! Whoo!*
***SIGN*** End Call
**[03:20] Mikoshiba**
*That's the spirit, Momotaro!*
**[03:24] Isuzu**
*When's the farewell race?*
**[03:26] Momotaro**
End of next week!
**[03:28] Momotaro**
I'm working on a plan to beat Ai-senpai!
**[03:33] Mikoshiba**
It's a great thing to have a rival
**[03:35] Mikoshiba**
*who makes you better!*
**[03:37] Isuzu**
Speaking of which, Matsuoka Rin-san
and Kirishima Ikuya-san
**[03:41] Isuzu**
somehow ended up being rivals, too, huh?
**[03:44] Mikoshiba**
A page of adolescence!
**[03:46] Mikoshiba**
Athletic spirits clashing!
**[03:49] Mikoshiba**
It's intense! Too intense!
**[03:52] Momotaro**
Yeah, yeah!
**[03:53] Minami**
I was super excited about Rin-senpai
and Nanase-san's world championships!
**[03:58] Isuzu**
Right?!
**[03:59] Isuzu**
Nanase-san's triceps brachii muscles
looked like they were shining!
**[04:04] Mikoshiba**
And his swimming was amazing!
**[04:11] (Flashback) Mikhail**
He's like a fish in water.
**[04:15] (Flashback) Male Swimmer A**
What's with that swimming?
**[04:17] (Flashback) Male Swimmer B**
That's Nanase for you!
**[04:19] (Flashback) Rei**
It's beautiful...
**[04:21] (Flashback) Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[04:34] Momotaro**
Man!
**[04:36] Momotaro**
He was so cool!
***SIGN*** End Call
**[04:39] Isuzu**
* Yeah! When he made it to*
* the final, I was so nervous!*
**[04:44] Mikoshiba**
But the wall in his way, Albert,
was thicker than expected.
**[04:50] Isuzu**
All the swimmers were tested
during that competition, huh?
**[04:54] Mikoshiba**
* Yeah. How will they fight*
* in the next tournament?*
**[04:58] Mikoshiba**
Nanase-kun and the others'
true worth will be tested.

Don't blame me.

**[14:19] (Flashback) Makoto**
Haru!
**[14:31] Makoto (college)**
Wait, Haru!
**[14:36] Haruka (college)**
No...
**[14:38] Haruka (college)**
All I did was swim...
**[14:42] Haruka (college)**
Like back then.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Rin (middle school)**
I'm going to quit swimming.
**[14:53] (Flashback) Haruka (middle school)**
Why?!
**[14:58] Haruka**
Oh, yeah, that's the kind of guy you were.
**[15:02] Haruka (age (age 9))**
There was something off
about him from the start.
**[15:05] Haruka (age (age 9))**
You were fine swimming on your own already.
**[15:09] Haruka (college)**
No...
**[15:10] Haruka (age 9)**
You wanted him to leave you alone, right?
**[15:13] Haruka (college)**
No...
**[15:19] Nagisa (5th grade)**
*Hey, let's swim a relay together.*
**[15:22] (Flashback) Rin (6th grade)**
Nanase, you can just swim freestyle.
**[15:25] (Flashback) Makoto (6th grade)**
Haru...
**[15:29] (Flashback) Haruka (6th grade)**
I just want to sink my body in water.
**[15:35] Haruka (college)**
Wait. Please, wait...
**[15:39] Haruka (college)**
Don't run away!
**[15:40] Haruka (college)**
If you run away now, you'll always—
**[16:03] Haruka (age 9)**
See?
**[16:05] Haruka (age 9)**
I told you you'd be alone.
**[16:08] Haruka (college)**
That's...
**[16:13] Haruka**
Why...
**[16:34] Mikhail**
He was always alone.
**[16:38] Mikhail**
No matter how much he swam,
his heart was parched.
**[16:42] Mikhail**
Even though the god of swimming
definitely loved him.
**[16:47] Mikhail**
Sad, strong swimming...
**[16:50] Mikhail**
Completely different from Nanase-kun.
**[16:53] Mikhail**
Nanase-kun's swimming gives people courage.
**[16:56] Mikhail**
Just like you when you were young, Ryuuji.
**[17:00] Azuma**
He should decide what he wants for himself.
**[17:03] Azuma**
There's swimming that won't
make anyone happy, too.
**[17:07] Mikhail**
Hey, Ryuuji, you don't have to take what
happened with Kiyo all upon yourself.
**[17:13] Azuma**
I'm Nanase's coach right now.
**[17:16] Azuma**
The past has nothing to do with it.
**[17:20] Mikhail**
Rin-kun was crying, you know.
**[17:22] Mikhail**
What happened?
**[17:24] Azuma**
At least he can still cry.
**[17:26] Azuma**
My tears have all dried up.
**[18:18] Sosuke**
Hey, Haru.
**[18:20] Sosuke**
You all right?
**[18:22] Sosuke**
Dude, you can't just keep pushing yourself.
**[18:27] Sosuke**
Come on, get in.
**[18:29] Sosuke**
I'll drive you home.
**[18:33] Sosuke**
They've made a lot of progress
on the construction.
**[18:37] Sosuke**
Apparently, there'll be a swimming
pool right in the middle.
**[18:42] Sosuke**
Haru, resting properly is
also part of training.
**[18:46] Sosuke**
Makoto's worried, too.
**[18:49] Haruka**
I know.
**[18:55] Sosuke**
Did something happen with Rin?
**[19:00] Sosuke**
I clashed many times with him, too.
**[19:04] Sosuke**
Rin and I were both so awkward,
**[19:07] Sosuke**
we kept hurting each other
without realizing it.
**[19:12] Sosuke**
Time will fix things.
**[19:14] Sosuke**
Don't worry.
**[19:19] Haruka**
I hope so.
**[19:24] Haruka**
Thanks.
**[19:25] Sosuke**
Sure, don't worry about it.
**[19:28] Sosuke**
Haru.
**[19:31] Sosuke**
Don't catch a chill.
**[19:35] Haruka**
I know.
**[19:44] Natsuya**
It's hard being a hero, huh?
**[19:48] Sosuke**
Isn't it hard because he
can't fully become a hero?
**[19:51] Natsuya**
The words of a man who's made
his comeback sure hit harder.
**[19:56] Sosuke**
That's not how it is.
**[20:02] Natsuya**
Sosuke, you're worried
about Rin, aren't you?
**[20:07] Natsuya**
Yeah, of course you are.
**[20:09] Natsuya**
A lot happened between me and Nao, too.
**[20:11] Natsuya**
You know how Rin is, right?
**[20:15] Sosuke**
I do. That's why I'm worried.
**[20:20] Rin**
I can't win if I'm stuck on
the race in front of me.
**[20:23] Rin**
That's how I felt, so I thought about how
I wanted to be as a competitive swimmer.
**[20:30] Rin**
Five, ten years from now—
**[20:33] Rin**
How can I swim for as long as possible?
**[20:37] Rin**
With him, too...
**[20:39] Rin**
We were too easygoing...
**[20:40] Rin**
I think, because of my weakness,
**[20:42] Rin**
in the end, I hurt myself
and those around me.
**[20:47] Rin**
I made this decision in
order to get stronger.
**[20:50] Rin**
I will become a pro.
**[20:53] Rin**
Am I doing something wrong?
**[20:59] Rin**
Mikhail!
**[21:07] Mikhail**
It's your life. You decide.
**[21:10] Mikhail**
If you're serious about this, I'll support you.
**[21:14] Mikhail**
Just don't regret your decision.
**[21:21] Asahi**
*The world turns*
**[21:25] Asahi**
*Around me*
**[21:33] Asahi**
You scared me.
**[21:35] Asahi**
Were you there the whole time?
**[21:38] Asahi**
Jeez, at least let me know you're here.
**[21:45] Asahi**
I won't know what happened
unless you tell me.
**[21:50] Asahi**
Are you thirsty?
**[21:52] Asahi**
I'll buy you a drink.
**[21:55] Asahi**
Well, I mean, your butterfly is so good.
**[22:00] Asahi**
You should have more confidence in yourself!
**[22:04] Rin**
It's not that I've lost confidence.
**[22:09] Rin**
Well... maybe I have...
**[22:12] Asahi**
Right? I can tell.
**[22:15] Asahi**
From what I can tell, you're hungry, too.
**[22:19] Rin**
I told you, that's not it.
**[22:20] Asahi**
Huh? Then what is it?
**[22:22] Rin**
Why are *you* getting upset?
**[22:27] Rin**
It's like... maybe I expected too much.
**[22:30] Rin**
I don't know...
**[22:32] Rin**
From myself... from those around me...
**[22:36] Asahi**
I see...
**[22:38] Asahi**
It's complicated, huh?
**[22:40] Rin**
Yeah, complicated, I guess.
**[22:45] Asahi**
You know, there was a time when
I suddenly couldn't swim anymore.
**[22:50] Asahi**
So I know painfully well how important
it is to be able to swim normally.
**[22:56] Asahi**
Hey, normal's really important.
**[22:59] Asahi**
Especially since you end up
forcing yourself a lot.
**[23:06] Rin**
Ikuya asked me what I wanted to do.
**[23:10] Asahi**
Well, anyone who saw you
right now would ask that.
**[23:14] Asahi**
Makoto and Haru would, too.
**[23:17] Rin**
I wonder... if Haru would...
**[23:48] Hoshikawa**
Okay, is everyone here?
**[23:50] Hoshikawa**
Then let's get introductions
from the new members.
**[23:53] Rei**
Very well. I'm from Iwatobi High School.
**[23:57] Rei**
I'm Ryugazaki Rei!
**[23:59] Rei**
My specialty is the butterfly.
**[24:01] Rei**
Nice to meet you!
**[24:04] Hiyori**
He went to the same school
as Nanase, right?
**[24:08] Nitori**
I'm from Samezuka Academy!
**[24:11] Nitori**
My name is Nitori Aiichiro!
**[24:13] Nitori**
My specialty is breaststroke.
**[24:15] Nitori**
Nice to meet you!
**[24:17] Hiyori**
Yes, nice to meet you both.
**[24:19] Ikuya**
Huh? Was there someone else
from Haru's school?
**[24:23] Rei**
Oh, Nagisa? He's...
**[24:26] Kinjo**
Okay, line up, first-years.
**[24:28] Kinjo**
First, introductions.
**[24:30] Uozumi**
That's Kinjo-senpai...
**[24:32] Minami**
He reminds me of the old Rin-senpai.
**[24:34] Uozumi**
Scary...
**[24:35] Nagisa**
Hello!
**[24:37] Nagisa**
I'm Hazuki Nagisa!
**[24:39] Nagisa**
My specialty is breaststroke.
**[24:41] Nagisa**
Nice to meet you!
**[24:43] Nagisa**
Hey, hey, Kin-chan, can we swim yet?
**[24:45] Kinjo**
Huh?
**[24:46] Uozumi**
H-Hazuki, you idiot!
**[24:48] Minami**
Now you've done it!
**[24:49] Kinjo**
Make sure you stretch well.
**[24:51] Nagisa**
Yup, no problem.
**[24:53] Kinjo**
Come on, stretch your legs, too.
**[24:56] Uozumi**
Wh-What?
**[24:56] Nagisa**
Thanks!
**[24:58] Minami**
Maybe he's not so bad.
**[25:01] Uozumi**
Excuse me!
**[25:03] Uozumi**
Please teach us how to stretch, too!
**[25:06] Kinjo**
Don't depend on other people!
**[25:09] Uozumi**
N-Nope! He's definitely scary!
**[25:09] Minami**
N-Nope! He's definitely scary!
**[25:15] Nitori**
I, Aiichiro, am going for it!
**[25:22] Nitori**
Yes!
**[25:23] Nagisa**
Ai-chan, you're amazing!
**[25:25] Nitori**
Oh, it's been so long, though...
**[25:28] Nagisa**
Okay, next is...
**[25:30] Rei**
Very well. I'll use bowling theory
**[25:33] Rei**
to show you the most amazing throw!
**[25:38] Nitori**
Wow!
**[25:39] Nagisa**
That's Rei-chan for you!
**[25:43] Rei**
Wha?!
**[25:44] Nitori**
That was close!
**[25:46] Rei**
Why did that happen?!
**[25:47] Nagisa**
It's okay, Rei-chan.
**[25:49] Nitori**
That's right! There's always next time!
**[25:51] Makoto**
Nagisa, Rei, Nitori-kun! Sorry I'm late.
**[25:54] Nagisa**
Oh, Mako-chan!
**[25:57] Rei**
I'm so happy we could
see you again in Tokyo!
**[26:00] Makoto**
Me, too. I can't believe you
all decided to come here.
**[26:06] Nagisa**
It's because we love swimming.
**[26:08] Nitori**
I'm honored to be able to continue
our friendly rivalry like this!
**[26:14] Makoto**
Seeing you all work hard spurs me on, too.
**[26:19] Rei**
Is Haruka-senpai doing well?
**[26:21] Makoto**
Oh, yeah...
**[26:23] Makoto**
He's been replying to my messages,
**[26:24] Makoto**
but it seems like he's still
busy at training camp.
**[26:27] Nitori**
Rin-senpai also seems busy with practice.
**[26:30] Makoto**
Yeah. It's like they're all in the middle of
their last push before the next tournament.
**[26:37] Nagisa**
Mako-chan, you're worried, aren't you?
**[26:39] Makoto**
Huh?
**[26:40] Nagisa**
You need to make sure you
tell Haru-chan clearly.
**[26:44] Rei**
Yes. Your feelings are sure
to bring him strength!
**[26:51] Makoto**
Thanks, you two.
**[26:53] Makoto**
I'll make sure to support Haru and
the others in the next tournament.
**[27:00] Makoto**
But I feel a little...
**[27:02] Makoto**
just a little bit of uneasiness...
**[27:10] Azuma**
That's enough for today.
**[27:12] Azuma**
It's really admirable, what you've
done in such a short time.
**[27:16] Azuma**
Make sure you do a proper cooldown.
**[27:20] Haruka**
I will...
**[27:25] Azuma**
Hey, Nanase!
**[27:28] Azuma**
When did this start?
**[27:30] Haruka**
It doesn't hurt...
**[27:32] Haruka**
After I swim all-out, I don't
have any strength left.
**[27:37] Azuma**
Listen, and listen good.
**[27:40] Azuma**
You know that crazy acceleration you do?
**[27:43] Azuma**
Don't do it until you
hit the last 20 meters.
**[27:46] Haruka**
Why?
**[27:47] Azuma**
It's too hard on your body right now.
**[27:51] Azuma**
It's like putting a huge
engine inside a small car.
**[27:54] Azuma**
Your body's going to fall apart.
**[27:58] Azuma**
For this year, you need to focus
on building up your body.
**[28:01] Haruka**
But then I won't make it.
**[28:03] Haruka**
I won't be able to beat him.
**[28:06] Nitori**
What? Albert-san is retiring
after the next tournament?
**[28:10] Nagisa**
What's up?
**[28:11] Nitori**
I just saw it on the news.
**[28:15] Nagisa**
Does that mean he can't race
against Haru-chan anymore?
**[28:19] Rei**
I don't know.
**[28:20] Rei**
But it's true that Haruka-senpai doesn't
have many chances for a rematch.
**[28:39] Natsuya**
You can really move your
arm again, huh, Sosuke?
**[28:42] Sosuke**
I feel like it's mostly back.
**[28:45] Natsuya**
I can't lose, either.
**[28:50] Sosuke**
He's not slowing down even
after swimming that far?
**[28:53] Natsuya**
Yeah, we need to thank Asahi for that.
**[28:57] Natsuya**
Don't get too worked up, okay?
**[28:59] Ikuya**
Thanks.
**[29:00] Makoto**
Ikuya, it looks like you've gotten more
stable and increased your stamina.
**[29:05] Ikuya**
It's thanks to all your support, Makoto.
**[29:08] Makoto**
Aw, nah...
**[29:09] Hiyori**
Tachibana-kun really looks
carefully at each person, huh?
**[29:14] Nao**
Makoto's dream of teaching kids
might really be his calling.
**[29:19] Ikuya**
Is Haru okay?
**[29:21] Makoto**
Oh, yeah...
**[29:22] Makoto**
There was also that news about Albert,
so I've been trying to keep in touch.
**[29:27] Ikuya**
Yeah...
**[29:29] Ikuya**
But you know, Haru's a hero.
**[29:33] Ikuya**
He'll come later, I'm sure.
**[29:37] Ikuya**
So let's believe in him and wait, Makoto.
**[29:40] Makoto**
Ikuya...
**[29:42] Sosuke**
It'll be a problem if he's *too* late, though.
**[29:44] Sosuke**
Hey. You're really doing well
with this last push, Ikuya.
**[29:47] Sosuke**
I was surprised.
**[29:49] Ikuya**
You say that, but your strong
swimming wasn't bad, either.
**[29:54] Sosuke**
This isn't all I've got.
**[29:56] Sosuke**
I mean, there's a lot to worry about,
**[29:59] Sosuke**
but let's just do what we can for now.
**[30:02] Sosuke**
If we all look gloomy, I can't
imagine that'll make Haru happy.
**[30:06] Makoto**
Sosuke...
**[30:09] Makoto**
Yeah, okay. Then let's do
another lap, with spirit!
**[30:13] Sosuke**
'Kay.
**[30:13] Ikuya**
Yeah.
**[30:15] Makoto**
Yeah...
**[30:17] Makoto**
I'm sure Haru can...
**[30:38] Azuma**
I thought I told you to stop swimming
in a way that puts stress on your body.
**[30:42] Azuma**
What are you thinking?
**[30:44] Haruka**
I...
**[30:47] Haruka**
I have to...
**[30:56] Azuma**
Hey, Nanase.
**[30:59] Azuma**
You can still go back.
**[31:03] Mikhail**
You keep losing focus.
**[31:06] Mikhail**
Your mind's wavering, Rin-kun.
**[31:10] Mikhail**
You have to find it for yourself.
**[31:12] Mikhail**
You have to decide for yourself.
**[31:15] Mikhail**
If you don't, you can't win.
**[31:18] Rin**
This isn't all I have.
**[31:21] Rin**
I'm sure he's also swimming to his limit.
**[31:25] Rin**
I have to push myself even more...
**[31:29] Rin**
More!
**[31:36] Rin**
Makoto?
**[31:39] Makoto**
Rin?!
**[31:41] Rin**
Why isn't Haru practicing here?!
**[31:44] Makoto**
Rin, calm down!
**[31:46] Azuma**
He was at his limit.
**[31:49] Azuma**
He lost himself.
**[31:51] Azuma**
That's why I made him rest.
**[31:53] Rin**
If he rests for even a week
at a time like this,
**[31:56] Rin**
he won't be fit to compete
anymore, will he?!
**[32:00] Azuma**
I can't repeat my mistake again.
**[32:04] Rin**
I don't care about what happened with you!
**[32:07] Rin**
He's...
**[32:09] Rin**
To him, swimming is...
**[32:13] Makoto**
Rin!
**[32:15] Makoto**
Please, stop...
**[32:17] Makoto**
Rin, please...
**[32:30] Azuma**
Can I say something as the adult here?
**[32:34] Azuma**
If you're thinking all that,
tell him to his face!
**[32:37] Azuma**
Grab what's important, and don't let it go!
**[32:40] Azuma**
Don't depend on those around you!
**[32:42] Azuma**
Don't blame others, either!
**[32:45] Azuma**
It's *your* life!
**[32:46] Azuma**
Settle things yourself!
**[32:52] Makoto**
Rin!
**[32:55] Makoto**
I'm sorry!
**[32:57] Azuma**
No, he's honest. It makes him interesting.
**[33:01] Azuma**
Much better than an idiot who can't do
anything and just keeps having regrets.
**[33:06] MK**
Huh?
**[33:07] Azuma**
Go tell him.
**[33:09] Azuma**
Right now, Nanase needs you guys.
**[33:13] Makoto**
Yes, sir!
**[33:27] Rin**
*What am I doing?*
**[33:32] Makoto**
He's not here, either.
**[33:34] Rin**
Damn it, where is he?
**[33:39] (Flashback) Haruka**
You always disappear suddenly, don't you?
**[33:55] Rin**
*Yeah, that's right.*
**[33:56] Rin**
*I'm always so selfish...*
**[34:01] Rin**
*Pretending not to notice your feelings...*
**[34:05] Rin**
*Relying on your strength...*
**[34:29] Rin**
I'm so pathetic.
**[35:04] Makoto**
Haru...
**[35:16] Makoto**
Let's go too, Rin!
**[35:17] Rin**
Huh? Hey!
**[35:28] Makoto**
Rin? Where are you right now?
**[35:32] Rin**
*Makoto, I found him.*
***SIGN*** Night Pool
**[35:46] Makoto**
Rin...
**[35:47] Rin**
Hey.
**[35:51] Makoto**
Haru...
**[36:02] Rin**
Hey, Haru.
**[36:04] Rin**
How are you feeling?
**[36:05] Haruka**
Rin? Why...
**[36:09] Rin**
You said it before, didn't you?
**[36:12] Rin**
"Don't say you're going to quit swimming."
**[36:15] Rin**
A lot's happened, but I'm still swimming.
**[36:21] Rin**
Stop trying to act cool.
**[36:23] Rin**
Haru, if you feel the same
way you did back then,
**[36:27] Rin**
then race me.
**[36:30] Rin**
You have a duty to race me.
**[36:34] Haruka**
Yeah, there was something
I wanted to check, too.
**[36:41] Rin**
That's what I wanted to hear, Haru.
**[36:44] Rin**
Makoto!
**[36:45] Makoto**
Oh, right!
**[36:50] Makoto**
Take your marks.
**[36:54] Makoto**
Ready...
**[36:57] Makoto**
Go!
**[37:11] Haruka**
*My body... feels heavy...*
**[37:21] Haruka**
*I...*
**[37:27] Rin**
*That's right.*
**[37:29] Rin**
* You always look better*
* when you're fired up!*
**[37:47] Haruka**
*I see...*
**[37:49] Haruka**
*I must be...*
**[38:07] Makoto**
Yeah!
**[38:15] Part-Timer A**
W-Wait...
**[38:16] Part-Timer A**
Was that a world record?
**[38:19] Part-Timer B**
Idiot, of course not!
**[38:22] Haruka**
I don't feel... like I can't breathe...
**[38:33] Rin**
You *can* swim like yourself, Haru.
**[38:38] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[38:41] Haruka**
Sorry...
**[38:43] Haruka**
For saying those mean things.
**[38:46] Rin**
No, I've always said selfish things
to you, too, since we were kids.
**[38:51] Rin**
Sorry.
**[38:54] Haruka**
You taught me what was important.
**[38:57] Haruka**
I appreciate it.
**[38:59] Rin**
Idiot.
**[39:00] Rin**
I'm the one who always
wanted to be like you.
**[39:03] Rin**
Don't keep making me say it.
**[39:15] Makoto**
Good work.
**[39:17] Makoto**
Your shoulders will get cold, you two.
**[39:20] Makoto**
Come on, get out.
**[39:22] Rin**
What, Makoto, you think
you're getting off easy?
**[39:25] Haruka**
Yeah, you're getting cocky.
**[39:27] Makoto**
Huh?
**[39:32] Makoto**
Jeez, what'd you do that for?
**[39:35] Rin**
Sorry.
**[39:38] Makoto**
Haru, your strokes today were really good.
**[39:44] Makoto**
I thought, "Oh, yeah, that's Haru's
swimming," and it made me happy.
**[39:50] Haruka**
Sorry.
**[39:51] Haruka**
After the finals,
**[39:53] Haruka**
I felt like I was swimming in the
dark at the bottom of the ocean.
**[39:57] Haruka**
But it was different today.
**[40:00] Haruka**
Rin, Makoto, thanks.
**[40:07] Asahi**
Hey, a shooting star!
**[40:09] Asahi**
Maybe something good will happen!
**[40:14] Makoto**
When I saw you working hard at the
competition, I remembered something.
**[40:20] Makoto**
Haru, do you remember?
**[40:23] Makoto**
When we were kids, and you
lost to those older kids.
**[40:29] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Haru didn't come today, either?
**[40:32] (Flashback) Goro (age 24)**
Well, anyone would be shocked
after a loss like that.
**[40:35] (Flashback) Goro (age 24)**
The kids he was up against will
be in middle school next year.
**[40:38] (Flashback) Goro (age 24)**
It's only natural that he'd lose.
**[40:40] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
It's *not* natural!
**[40:42] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Nanase-kun's strong!
**[40:44] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Goro-chan, you beardo!
**[40:46] (Flashback) Goro (age 24)**
Don't call people names, Nagisa!
**[40:49] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Aw, man, I can't accept this!
**[40:52] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
I can't believe Nanase-kun would lose.
**[40:54] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Yeah, but I think it's my first
time seeing Haru-chan so down.
**[41:00] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Really?
**[41:02] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
What'll we do if he ends up not
being able to swim after this?
**[41:06] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
You can't think about that!
**[41:09] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Everyone always says, "It's impossible,"
and, "You can't win!"
**[41:13] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
You should think about good things!
**[41:16] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Hazuki-kun, you're amazing.
**[41:18] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
No, I'm not!
**[41:20] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Tachibana-kun, if you like Nanase-kun,
then you understand, right?
**[41:24] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
"Like"?
**[41:26] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
All right, let's go to
Nanase-kun's house right now!
**[41:29] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Huh? Right now?
**[41:32] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Come on!
**[41:36] (Flashback) Man A**
Hey, that's Elvant Wåhlander, right?
**[41:39] (Flashback) Man B**
Yeah, it looks like he came with his team.
**[41:42] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
What's that?
**[41:43] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
A store?
**[41:45] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Oh, think he's buying souvenirs?
**[41:48] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Wanna try giving Nanase-kun a present?
**[41:51] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
You're worried about him, right?
**[41:53] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Yeah.
**[41:54] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Then you need to let him know how you feel!
***SIGN*** Nanase
**[41:59] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Haru-chan's not home?
**[42:07] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
It looks like Nanase-kun's really here!
**[42:10] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Mochizuki-kun said he saw him!
**[42:12] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Y-Yeah...
**[42:13] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
I'll look over there!
**[42:16] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
I'll check the central square!
**[42:18] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Okay!
**[42:27] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Um...
**[42:33] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Haru-chan!
**[42:40] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Hey, Tachibana-kun!
**[42:42] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
He's over here!
**[42:45] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Huh?
**[42:49] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Haru-chan...
**[42:52] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Come on, Tachibana-kun!
**[42:53] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
R-Right...
**[42:55] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Haru-chan!
**[42:58] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Here.
**[43:01] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
A good luck charm...
**[43:02] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Yeah! We thought you'd like it!
**[43:05] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Right, Tachibana-kun?
**[43:06] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Yeah...
***SIGN*** Peaceful Birth
**[43:07] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
But it says "peaceful birth."
**[43:09] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
What?!
**[43:10] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
It doesn't say "peace of mind"?!
**[43:13] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Wh-What should we do?!
**[43:14] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
I have a pen!
**[43:17] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
Thanks.
**[43:19] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Were you really shocked that you lost?
**[43:23] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
I don't know.
**[43:25] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
But I kept feeling a cloud hanging over me.
**[43:27] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
I was really frustrated, too!
**[43:30] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
They said you were cocky and stuff, too!
**[43:35] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
You should've just left me alone.
**[43:38] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
It's really annoying.
**[43:40] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
They said a lot of stuff
to you guys, too, right?
**[43:43] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Huh?
**[43:44] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
Stuff like that really makes me mad.
**[43:48] (Flashback) Nagisa (age 8)**
Nanase-kun...
**[43:49] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
It has nothing to do with
their swimming, but...
**[43:53] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
Next time, we'll definitely win.
**[43:55] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
So don't cry anymore.
***SIGN*** Peace of Mind
**[44:03] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
You know, I...
**[44:05] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
I want you to swim for you, Haru-chan.
**[44:09] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Not for us or anything.
**[44:12] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
No matter what people say, you're you.
**[44:16] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Because I love how freely you
swim freestyle, Haru-chan!
**[44:22] (Flashback) Makoto (age 9)**
Um, so...
**[44:26] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
I...
**[44:27] (Flashback) Haruka (age 9)**
I...
**[44:29] Makoto (college)**
You won in the next race.
**[44:34] Makoto (college)**
And after that, none of the older kids
ever said anything to me or Nagisa again.
**[44:43] Makoto (college)**
You really are the best, Haru-chan.
**[44:46] Haruka**
I don't remember that. It was too long ago.
**[44:51] (Flashback) Rin (age 9)**
I heard there's this really amazing guy
at Iwatobi who even beat some older kids!
**[44:57] (Flashback) Rin (age 9)**
I wanna race against him!
**[45:01] Rin**
Haru really is a
straightforward guy, isn't he?
**[45:04] Makoto**
Yeah, that's what's great about him.
**[45:07] Rin**
You said it.
**[45:09] Haruka**
Don't go agreeing without me.
**[45:18] Nagisa**
The Haru-chan back then
**[45:20] Nagisa**
was really cool!
**[45:23] Rei**
Something like that happened?
**[45:25] Rei**
I feel like I understand
a little better now...
**[45:27] Rei**
why everyone is drawn to
Haruka-senpai's swimming.
**[45:34] Nagisa**
Oh, yeah! I've got a great idea!
**[45:37] Nagisa**
Let's hand them out to everyone
at the next tournament!
**[45:39] Rei**
Huh?
**[45:40] Nagisa**
Come on, Rei-chan!
**[45:41] Nagisa**
Let's go buy them now! Come on, come on!
**[45:46] Haruka**
I want to beat him in the next race.
**[45:49] Haruka**
I felt like his swimming
rejected everything I am.
**[45:53] Haruka**
I don't want things to end like this.
**[45:55] Makoto**
Yeah.
**[45:57] Haruka**
I plan to do everything I can.
**[46:00] Haruka**
I don't know if my body will hold up.
**[46:03] Haruka**
But I want to swim until the end.
**[46:07] Rin**
Haru...
**[46:10] Makoto**
Okay.
**[46:12] Haruka**
Thanks.
**[46:15] Haruka**
Swimming with Rin earlier,
**[46:17] Haruka**
I felt like I was onto something.
**[46:20] Haruka**
Like I was almost there...
**[46:23] Haruka**
If I only had a little more control...
**[46:26] Rin**
Then wanna try figuring that out together?
**[46:33] Haruka**
Huh?
**[46:36] Azuma**
Jeez, I thought something
like this would happen.
**[46:39] Haruka**
I want to practice together
until the tournament.
**[46:43] Rin**
I'd like to do this, too.
I'm sorry about yesterday.
**[46:47] Azuma**
No, I also said too much.
**[46:51] Azuma**
Sorry.
**[46:52] Makoto**
Azuma-san, you made Haru rest because
you were worried about him, right?
**[46:56] Makoto**
Thank you for stopping Haru back then.
**[47:01] Azuma**
I didn't do anything.
**[47:03] Haruka**
You're not being honest.
**[47:04] Azuma**
I don't want to hear that from you!
**[47:06] Mikhail**
Well, if this'll lead to good results,
there's no reason to refuse.
**[47:11] Azuma**
Do what you want.
**[47:13] Azuma**
I have no intention of changing
the training regimen.
**[47:16] Haruka/Rin/Makoto**
Thank you very much!
**[47:19] Sosuke**
I didn't think Haru and the others
**[47:21] Sosuke**
would be training at the
facility right next door.
**[47:24] Hiyori**
Well, it's easy for Tachibana-kun to go
back and forth, so it's good, right?
**[47:28] Asahi**
Besides, Haru broke his
personal record, didn't he?
**[47:32] Asahi**
Man, that's Haru for you!
**[47:35] Ikuya**
Yeah.
**[47:36] Ikuya**
I'm glad I kept believing
in him and waiting.
**[47:38] Natsuya**
Hey, you four. Break's over.
**[47:42] Natsuya**
First, you need to qualify for the
world championships in Fukuoka
**[47:45] Natsuya**
at the All-Japan Invitational, right?
**[47:47] Nao**
All right! Time for the
last spurt! Give it your all!
**[47:51] Ikuya**
Yes, sir!
**[47:51] Asahi**
Yes, sir!
**[47:51] Hiyori**
Yes, sir!
**[47:51] Sosuke**
Yeah!
**[48:10] Azuma**
Jeez, this isn't a field trip.
**[48:14] Mikhail**
This is what makes those kids strong.
**[48:17] Mikhail**
Don't you know that better than anyone?
**[48:23] (Flashback) Azuma**
Another race?
**[48:25] (Flashback) Mikhail**
Come on, Ryuuji!
**[48:27] (Flashback) Mikhail**
It's not fair to quit while you're ahead.
**[48:29] (Flashback) Mikhail**
How about a 50m freestyle?
**[48:32] (Flashback) Azuma**
No, thanks.
**[48:33] (Flashback) Azuma**
I'll be alone in the water, anyway.
I want to be more carefree when I swim.
**[48:38] (Flashback) Kiyofumi**
Man, you really are weird, Ryuu-chan.
**[48:41] (Flashback) Kiyofumi**
Hey, long time no see.
**[48:43] (Flashback) Mikhail**
Kiyofumi!
**[48:44] (Flashback) Azuma**
I told you not to use "chan" after my name.
**[48:48] (Flashback) Mikhail**
Maybe I'll call you "Ryuu-chan," too.
**[48:51] (Flashback) Azuma**
Mikhail!
**[48:53] (Flashback) Kiyofumi**
I wanna see you swim with
everyone, too, Ryuu-chan.
**[48:58] (Flashback) Kiyofumi**
Because your swimming cheers everyone up.
**[49:05] Azuma**
You're right.
**[49:07] Azuma**
People might say this is naïve,
**[49:10] Azuma**
but if I could go back
to that time, I would.
**[49:41] Asahi**
Your training looks like
it's coming along well.
**[49:43] Ikuya**
Yeah.
**[49:44] Ikuya**
At this rate, I think I can give Sudo
and the others a run for their money.
**[49:48] Asahi**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[49:50] Asahi**
You'll be fighting on a
new stage soon, huh?
**[49:54] Ikuya**
The prelims haven't even started yet.
**[49:57] Ikuya**
But I'll do my best, Asahi.
**[50:00] Asahi**
Yeah!
**[50:04] Asahi**
What's wrong, Sosuke?
**[50:05] Sosuke**
Well...
**[50:09] Ikuya**
Haru...
**[50:11] Asahi**
He's been sleeping between practices
like that more recently, hasn't he?
**[50:15] Sosuke**
It's because he's been
swimming hard lately.
**[50:22] Asahi**
Jeez, he's hopeless.
**[50:24] Asahi**
I guess I can help him wash his sweats.
**[50:27] Ikuya**
Oh, I'll go talk to the nutritionist.
**[50:31] Asahi**
Well, I'll try talking to the
trainer and Makoto, too.
**[50:35] Sosuke**
Thanks.
**[50:41] Sosuke**
Being friends isn't just about
being nice to each other,
**[50:44] Sosuke**
but look at how much those
around you care about you.
**[50:48] Sosuke**
Take at least a little notice, protagonist.
**[50:51] Nao**
They didn't find anything wrong with
Haruka during the medical checks.
**[50:56] Nao**
I got a report from Makoto.
**[50:58] Natsuya**
Right.
**[51:01] Natsuya**
Hey, Nao.
**[51:03] Natsuya**
Let's protect Haruka together, okay?
**[51:05] Nao**
Yeah, I know.
**[52:04] Kisumi**
It's almost time!
**[52:06] Makoto**
Yeah, it's Nagisa and Rei's
first All-Japan Invitational.
**[52:12] Makoto**
I hope they can all relax
and swim their best.
***SIGN*** Nitori Aiichiro
**[52:41] Nagisa**
Good work, you two.
**[52:45] Rin**
Jeez, you made me wait a long time.
**[52:48] Rin**
You should have a better look on your face.
**[52:51] Sosuke**
Sorry.
**[52:53] Sosuke**
That's not really my style.
**[52:56] Momotaro**
Sosuke-senpai!
**[52:57] Gou**
Sosuke-kun!
**[53:00] Makoto**
Sosuke, welcome back.
**[53:04] Sosuke**
What do you want to do?
**[53:05] Sosuke**
Bet another drink?
**[53:07] Rin**
Since we've gotten this far,
we should be after the medal.
**[53:12] Sosuke**
That's big talk for a domestic prelim.
**[53:29] Sosuke**
*Thanks, Rin.*
**[53:33] Rin**
*Where'd that come from?*
**[53:35] Sosuke**
* Well, I was able to see so many*
* different sights thanks to you.*
**[53:41] Sosuke**
*I'm grateful.*
**[53:43] Rin**
*Idiot. It's not over yet.*
**[53:46] Rin**
*We'll keep swimming after this, too.*
**[53:49] Sosuke**
*Definitely.*
**[53:51] Sosuke**
*Don't rush me.*
**[53:53] Sosuke**
*I do things at my own pace.*
**[53:56] Rin**
*Shut up.*
**[53:57] Rin**
*If you don't hurry up, I'll leave you behind,*
**[53:59] Rin**
*Sosuke.*
**[54:01] Sosuke**
*Man, you're something else, you know that?*
**[54:11] Sosuke**
I won't lose next time.
**[54:13] Rin**
Yeah, I'll race you as
many times as you want.
**[54:17] Rin**
As many as it takes.
**[54:57] Kinjo**
Hurry up and show me what
you've really got, idiot.
**[55:15] Makoto**
Everyone's swimming really well!
**[55:18] Kisumi**
Yeah, they are!
**[55:20] Kisumi**
Let's see, next is...
**[55:21] Kisumi**
Toono-kun's backstroke!

Huh? You're—

**[55:33] Rei**
Haruka-senpai will be
swimming the 100m freestyle,
**[55:35] Rei**
and Rin-san will be swimming
the 100m butterfly.
**[55:38] Nagisa**
Kin-chan will be in the
freestyle race, too, right?
**[55:40] Kinjo**
What the hell?
**[55:41] Sosuke**
Kin-chan?
**[55:42] Nagisa**
Iku-chan will be swimming
the 100m breaststroke, too!
**[55:45] Kisumi**
He called you "Iku-chan."
**[55:47] Ikuya**
I'm used to it.
**[55:49] Nitori**
Toono-senpai will be swimming
the 200m backstroke,
**[55:51] Nitori**
and Sosuke-senpai will be
swimming the 100m backstroke.
**[55:56] Sosuke**
Yeah.
**[55:57] Nagisa**
I was surprised at first, though.
**[55:59] Rin**
Yeah, seriously.
**[56:00] Makoto**
Nao-senpai figured out during practice that
**[56:03] Makoto**
the backstroke put the least
stress on his shoulder.
**[56:06] Nao**
Well, I was just having him swim for rehab,
**[56:09] Nao**
but he put up unexpectedly good times.
**[56:12] Sosuke**
I'm grateful to Makoto and
Toono for helping me practice.
**[56:16] Hiyori**
I was honestly surprised by how
fast Yamazaki-kun picked it up.
**[56:21] Asahi**
Hey, Rei! Me, me!
**[56:23] Rei**
Oh, right!
**[56:24] Rei**
Asahi-san will be swimming
the 100m butterfly.
**[56:28] Natsuya**
And I'll be entering, too!
**[56:30] Asahi**
Give me a chance to look cool, too!
**[56:33] Kisumi**
I know how hard you worked, Asahi.
**[56:36] Rei**
Yes, Asahi-san!
**[56:39] Asahi**
Thanks, Kisumi, Rei!
**[56:42] Rin**
Well, it's finally the
Fukuoka championship next.
**[56:45] Makoto**
Yeah. Everyone, be yourselves
and do your best.
**[56:49] Haruka**
Yeah. Let's do our best.
**[56:56] Nagisa**
It's this late already?
**[56:59] Rei**
We're almost done.
**[57:01] Rei**
It was worth working steadily every day.
**[57:03] Nagisa**
It's thanks to your help, Rei-chan.
**[57:06] Rei**
It was nothing. I'm glad I could
work on this with you, too.
**[57:12] Nagisa**
I hope they all like it.
**[57:15] Rei**
Don't worry. You put so much
of your feelings into this.
**[57:19] Rei**
I'm sure they'll understand.
**[57:22] Nagisa**
Thanks, Rei-chan!
**[57:24] Rei**
Now, let's make one last push.
**[57:28] Nagisa**
Yeah, let's do this!
**[57:30] Gou**
It's finally time for
Haruka-senpai's muscles...
**[57:33] Isuzu**
...and your brother's muscles
to flex on the world stage!
**[57:38] Gou**
Let's cheer them on a lot!
**[57:40] Isuzu**
Yeah! Let's offer up
everything to the muscles—
**[57:42] Momotaro**
Gou-san!
**[57:44] Isuzu**
Momo!
**[57:45] Gou**
Romio-kun and the others, too!
**[57:46] Goro**
Hey, you guys!
**[57:48] Goro**
I just finished setting up a huge TV.
**[57:51] Romio**
Oh, I can't wait to watch with everyone!
**[57:55] Romio**
What's wrong, Shizuru?
**[57:57] Shizuru**
Ayumu's not here...
**[57:58] Isuzu**
Ayumu-chan said she'd be a little late.
**[58:00] Gou**
Yeah, she sent us a message earlier.
**[58:03] Gou**
She said someone from her family
would bring her to the entrance.
**[58:08] Momotaro**
Man, I really wanted to see
Rin-senpai's swimming in person!
**[58:14] Goro**
There's nothing you can do if
you don't have money to travel.
**[58:16] Isuzu**
Yeah, Momo. It's 'cause you always
waste your money, isn't it?
**[58:21] Gou**
Well, Ayumu-chan said
not to worry about it...
***SIGN*** Please leave it to me!!
**[58:29] Amakata**
Huh? What's this? What's going on?
**[58:32] Goro**
Wh-What *is* that?!
**[58:38] Ayumu**
I am not worthy,
**[58:40] Ayumu**
but I, Kunikida Ayumu, am employing all
the resources of the Kunikida family
**[58:45] Ayumu**
to take everyone to Fukuoka.
**[58:48] Momotaro**
Whoa!
**[58:49] Romio**
That's so cool!
**[58:50] ShIsuzuuru**
It's like a giant tiger pufferfish!
**[59:31] Azuma**
Sorry to make you help.
**[59:34] Makoto**
Oh, it's no problem.
**[59:37] Kinjo**
Hey.
**[59:38] Kinjo**
By the look on your face, I guess
the clouds have cleared up.
**[59:42] Azuma**
I like swimming.
**[59:45] Azuma**
That's what I learned this year.
**[59:47] Azuma**
I won't run any longer.
**[59:50] Azuma**
That's why...
**[59:51] Azuma**
"I'll save you one day, too."
**[59:54] Azuma**
That's my promise to him.
**[59:57] (Flashback) Kiyofumi**
Kaede, first, try jumping in.
**[1:00:00] (Flashback) Kiyofumi**
I'm sure the water will accept you.
**[1:00:06] Kinjo**
All right.
**[1:00:10] Kinjo**
Can I say something, too?
**[1:00:12] Kinjo**
I think Nanase is nearing his limit.
**[1:00:21] Makoto**
Um, what does he mean by that?
**[1:00:26] Azuma**
You know how he gets that
burst of speed sometimes?
**[1:00:29] Azuma**
He uses too much oxygen
when he swims like that.
**[1:00:33] Azuma**
He's reaching his limit
faster than I expected.
**[1:00:36] Azuma**
In all likelihood,
**[1:00:37] Azuma**
he can only swim like that for one more race.
**[1:00:42] Makoto**
No way...
**[1:00:45] Kinjo**
I don't get it.
**[1:00:48] Kinjo**
Why do you go through all
that trouble to swim?
**[1:00:51] Haruka**
Dunno...
**[1:00:53] Haruka**
But I think I understand
better now than I did before.
**[1:00:58] Haruka**
Beneath the water
**[1:01:00] Haruka**
is a precious place for me.
**[1:01:03] Kinjo**
I can't swim for anyone but myself.
**[1:01:06] Kinjo**
I feel like you're the same.
**[1:01:10] Momotaro**
Whoa, the pool for a world
competition's amazing!
**[1:01:15] Rei**
Look, Haruka-senpai's heat is about to begin!
**[1:01:20] Makoto**
Haru...
**[1:01:38] Nitori**
It's a good start!
**[1:01:42] Asahi**
But everyone's already really fast!
**[1:01:44] Sosuke**
This is bad. The time to get past
the qualifiers will be tough to beat.
**[1:01:51] Azuma**
Don't give in, Nanase!
**[1:01:57] Azuma**
I told you not to do it!
**[1:02:03] Nagisa**
He's gotten faster!
**[1:02:04] Rin**
All right!
**[1:02:07] Azuma**
Why now?
**[1:02:21] Asahi**
Yes! He made it past the qualifier!
**[1:02:24] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[1:02:26] Kisumi**
Makoto?
**[1:02:45] Haruka**
Why...
**[1:02:57] Rin**
We're finally here, huh?
**[1:02:59] Ikuya**
Yeah.
**[1:03:00] Ikuya**
We practiced so much.
**[1:03:02] Rin**
Yeah.
**[1:03:04] Rin**
No one can say anything.
**[1:03:08] Hiyori**
Ikuya.
**[1:03:11] Hiyori**
You're in the finals at last, huh?
**[1:03:13] Ikuya**
Yeah. I'm off.
**[1:03:16] Hiyori**
You can swim amazingly.
**[1:03:19] Hiyori**
I know you can.
**[1:03:21] Ikuya**
It's encouraging to have
your support, Hiyori.
**[1:03:25] Ikuya**
Thanks.
**[1:03:29] Hiyori**
I'm not...
**[1:03:32] Ikuya**
I'll get results.
**[1:03:33] Ikuya**
Because that's how I think I can
pay you and everyone else back.
**[1:03:38] Hiyori**
I'm sure you'll be fine!
**[1:03:40] Hiyori**
I mean, you're the one who's
going to be swimming!
**[1:03:46] Ikuya**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[1:04:01] Natsuya**
Yes!
**[1:04:02] Asahi**
All right!
**[1:04:16] Mikhail**
Rin-kun,
**[1:04:18] Mikhail**
you did good sticking with
all that tough training.
**[1:04:21] Mikhail**
It's time to turn your resolve into results.
**[1:04:25] Mikhail**
It doesn't matter what happens around you.
**[1:04:27] Mikhail**
Swim the way you always do.
**[1:04:31] Rin**
*I'll throw my entire self onto this stage.*
**[1:04:37] Rin**
*To my heart's content...*
**[1:05:00] Rin**
Yes!
**[1:05:14] Nitori**
Rin-senpai and Kirishima-senpai
both got bronze medals!
**[1:05:19] Momotaro**
It's amazing!
**[1:05:21] Momotaro**
I'm gonna cry!
**[1:05:24] Mikhail**
That was pretty moving...
**[1:05:29] Mikhail**
There's a lot Rin-kun can teach me.
**[1:05:34] Gou**
It's heavy...
**[1:05:35] Rin**
Yeah, it is.
**[1:05:37] Rin**
It's surprising how heavy it is, huh?
**[1:05:40] Miyako**
You were really cool, Rin.
**[1:05:43] Gou**
Yeah, really, congrats, Big Brother!
**[1:05:46] Rin**
Yeah, thanks.
**[1:05:48] Miyako**
Hey, Rin.
**[1:05:50] Miyako**
There's still something
you need to do, right?
**[1:05:52] Rin**
Huh?
**[1:05:53] Miyako**
Keep going until you're satisfied.
**[1:05:56] Miyako**
Because I'm sure you're not wrong.
**[1:06:01] Rin**
Thanks.
**[1:06:05] (Flashback) Kiyofumi**
Kaede, your feelings will reach one day...
**[1:06:16] Sosuke**
Don't do anything weird.
**[1:06:19] Kinjo**
Don't worry. He's just sleeping.
**[1:06:24] Kinjo**
Why is everyone drawn to this guy?
**[1:06:28] Sosuke**
I wonder.
**[1:06:30] Sosuke**
If you've swum with him,
shouldn't you understand?
**[1:06:39] Kinjo**
Let him sleep for a while.
**[1:06:42] Kinjo**
He still has more to do.
**[1:06:46] Makoto**
Haru...
**[1:06:51] Rei**
Next is the final for the 100m freestyle!
**[1:06:54] Gou**
Huh?
**[1:06:56] Gou**
Where's Haruka-senpai?
**[1:06:58] Kinjo**
Nanase's not coming.
**[1:07:00] Kinjo**
He really is something.
**[1:07:03] Kinjo**
His spirit didn't break, even
when he was up against you.
**[1:07:09] Haruka**
*Huh?*
**[1:07:11] Haruka**
*It's warm...*
**[1:07:13] Haruka**
*Where am I?*
**[1:07:17] Haruka**
*I see...*
**[1:07:18] Haruka**
*This is...*
**[1:07:20] Rin (6th grade)**
Hey, Nanase. Swim a relay with us.
**[1:07:25] Nagisa (5th grade)**
Please, Nanase-kun!
**[1:07:28] Makoto (6th grade)**
Haru...
**[1:07:30] Haruka (6th grade)**
I don't know... how to do that!
**[1:07:32] Makoto (6th grade)**
Haru!
**[1:07:43] Haruka**
Where are you going?
**[1:07:46] Haruka (6th grade)**
I only swim freestyle.
**[1:07:49] Haruka**
You know, right?
**[1:07:51] Haruka (6th grade)**
I...
**[1:07:53] Haruka**
The emotions you feel are everything.
**[1:07:58] Haruka (6th grade)**
But...
**[1:08:01] Haruka**
Many things will happen after this.
**[1:08:05] Haruka**
Sad things, too...
**[1:08:08] Haruka**
But you're you.
**[1:08:10] Haruka**
I'm me.
**[1:08:13] Haruka**
Be true to yourself.
**[1:08:15] Haruka**
Live the way you feel.
**[1:08:18] Haruka**
Your choice isn't wrong.
**[1:08:22] Haruka**
Dive to the future!
**[1:08:27] Haruka**
I know you can do it.
**[1:08:36] Haruka**
I know you can!
**[1:08:53] Makoto**
Haru...
**[1:08:55] Makoto**
Oh, good!
**[1:08:57] Rin**
Haru...
**[1:08:58] Makoto**
Sosuke carried you here.
**[1:09:01] Haruka**
I see.
**[1:09:02] Ikuya**
They said you can't get up yet!
**[1:09:06] Haruka**
I have to go...
**[1:09:10] Natsuya**
It was a race worth watching, huh?
**[1:09:13] Nao**
Yeah.
**[1:09:14] Nao**
Kinjo and Albert were both...
**[1:09:17] Natsuya**
I wonder how Haruka is feeling right now...
**[1:09:20] Nao**
Probably exactly as you're
imagining, Natsuya.
**[1:09:24] Kinjo**
Are you really satisfied with this?
**[1:09:27] Kinjo**
Leaving without fighting him?
**[1:09:31] Japan Team Coach**
Now, we will announce the swimmers for
tomorrow's last event, the medley relay.
**[1:09:37] Japan Team Coach**
First—
**[1:09:38] Natsuya**
Please wait.
**[1:09:41] Natsuya**
There's someone I'd like to recommend.
**[1:09:43] Asahi**
Natsuya-senpai?!
**[1:09:44] Japan Team Head Coach**
Could it be Nanase-kun?
**[1:09:47] Japan Team Coach**
Are you serious? But he's—
**[1:09:49] Japan Team Head Coach**
With that improvement in time, freestyle
can only be Nanase-kun or Kinjo-kun.
**[1:09:55] Natsuya**
Yes. I'd like to recommend Nanase
Haruka for the freestyle leg.
**[1:09:59] Asahi**
I think it should be him, too!
**[1:10:01] Japan Team Coach**
You can't just decide that!
**[1:10:03] Japanese Staff**
His blood test came back normal.
**[1:10:07] Japan Team Head Coach**
We should ask him what he thinks.
**[1:10:13] Haruka**
Sorry we're late.
**[1:10:16] Sosuke**
Haru...
**[1:10:19] Haruka**
Coach, please let me swim the freestyle leg.
**[1:10:27] Kinjo**
All right already.
Just don't overexert yourself.
**[1:10:30] Kinjo**
I'll swim in the qualifier.
**[1:10:32] Kinjo**
If we make it to the finals,
I'll switch with Nanase.
**[1:10:35] Japan Team Coach**
I said you can't just decide—
**[1:10:38] Kinjo**
Don't get the wrong idea.
**[1:10:40] Kinjo**
I only swim for myself.
**[1:10:42] Kinjo**
You should focus on yourself.
**[1:10:45] Haruka**
Kinjo...
**[1:10:46] Sosuke**
I can swim, too, Coach.
**[1:10:49] Rin**
I'll swim, too!
**[1:10:50] Natsuya**
Don't be in such a hurry.
**[1:10:52] Natsuya**
You two are our secret weapons.
**[1:10:54] Hiyori**
Yeah. Will you leave this to us?
**[1:10:58] Ikuya**
I have confidence in my stamina.
I'll swim starting from the qualifier.
**[1:11:02] Japan Team Coach**
Why are you all—
**[1:11:03] Japan Team Head Coach**
It's fine.
**[1:11:05] Japan Team Head Coach**
But there is a condition.
**[1:11:07] Japan Team Head Coach**
Please win. That's an
order from the head coach.
**[1:11:11] Natsuya**
It's decided, then.
**[1:11:13] Natsuya**
All right, you guys! Don't lose
before Haruka gets to swim!
**[1:11:17] All except Kinjo**
Yeah!
**[1:11:28] Kisumi**
What? There'll be different swimmers
for the qualifier and the finals?
**[1:11:33] Momotaro**
Is that allowed?
**[1:11:35] Goro**
Their plan is to save Haruka, huh?
**[1:11:37] Nao**
But if they lose, it's over.
**[1:11:41] Nao**
Make sure you win, everyone!
**[1:11:52] Nagisa**
Here, everyone! Put these on!
**[1:11:55] Romio**
What is this?
**[1:11:57] Nagisa**
Don't worry about it!
**[1:11:59] Amakata**
Oh, wow!
**[1:12:01] Goro**
A good luck bracelet?
**[1:12:04] Miyako**
They're handmade!
**[1:12:07] Rei**
It was Nagisa-kun's idea.
**[1:12:09] Nitori**
Good idea!
**[1:12:11] Momotaro**
Nice thinking, Nagisacchi!
**[1:12:13] Nagisa**
They're good luck charms for Team Haru-chan!
**[1:12:17] Azuma**
It looks like he went to sleep again.
**[1:12:20] Azuma**
But he did clear the medical check.
**[1:12:23] Azuma**
Jeez. I can't believe him.
**[1:12:26] Makoto**
Haru's unbeatable in the water.
**[1:12:30] Azuma**
There's no point in trying to stop him, huh?
**[1:12:33] Rin**
Damn that Haru. He should've said
something if he was that close to his limit.
**[1:12:38] Rin**
Taking it all on himself...
**[1:12:40] Ikuya**
You don't need to go see him?
**[1:12:42] Rin**
I told you, didn't I?
**[1:12:43] Rin**
We're not like that.
**[1:12:47] Ikuya**
It's our turn to support
Haru this time, right?
**[1:12:52] Rin**
Of course.
**[1:12:54] Rin**
That's why we swim!
**[1:12:56] Nao**
Asahi, are you all right?
**[1:12:59] Nao**
You want to swim, don't you?
**[1:13:01] Asahi**
Oh, no. For short distances,
Natsuya-senpai's faster.
**[1:13:06] Asahi**
But I don't want things to end like this.
**[1:13:10] Asahi**
In Athens, I'll definitely swim the best
relay with Haru and the others!
**[1:13:15] Asahi**
Just watch!
**[1:13:20] Nao**
You're a good kid, Asahi.
**[1:13:21] Asahi**
I-I've always been a good kid!
**[1:13:26] Natsuya**
Come on, Hiyori.
**[1:13:27] Natsuya**
Don't be so nervous.
**[1:13:29] Hiyori**
R-Right.
**[1:13:31] Ikuya**
It's all right.
**[1:13:33] Ikuya**
Let's try to enjoy this.
**[1:13:35] Hiyori**
Yeah.
**[1:13:36] Hiyori**
Thanks, Ikuya.
**[1:13:38] Natsuya**
Are you nervous, too?
**[1:13:41] Kinjo**
Of course not.
**[1:13:43] Ikuya**
Kinjo.
**[1:13:44] Ikuya**
Let's do our best in the race. For Haru.
**[1:13:47] Kinjo**
Shut up. You don't have to say it out loud.
**[1:13:49] Natsuya**
You should try to be a little more lovable.
**[1:13:52] Hiyori**
Seriously.
**[1:13:53] Kinjo**
I said shut up!
**[1:13:57] Mikhail**
Ryuuji, now's the time for me
to tell you my favorite word.
**[1:14:02] Mikhail**
It's "believe."
**[1:14:06] Nitori**
The 400m men's...
**[1:14:08] Mikoshiba**
Medley relay qualifier...
**[1:14:17] Natsuya**
That's a good start!
**[1:14:18] Ikuya**
Nice, Hiyori!
**[1:14:23] Hoshikawa**
Your strokes look great, Toono!
**[1:14:28] Asahi**
Wow, he jumped right into the lead!
**[1:14:38] Hiyori**
Ikuya!
**[1:14:46] Nao**
That was a good exchange!
**[1:14:51] Hiyori**
Ikuya's strokes look good.
**[1:14:54] Kinjo**
Shut up!
**[1:14:56] Kisumi**
Wow! He's got a huge lead!
**[1:15:01] Sosuke**
Not bad.
**[1:15:07] Natsuya**
Look carefully.
**[1:15:09] Natsuya**
We brothers are number one in the world!
**[1:15:13] Ikuya**
Bro!
**[1:15:16] Hiyori**
That's Natsuya-kun for you!
**[1:15:19] Nao**
He's really fired up.
**[1:15:20] Nao**
Don't blame me if you're worn out later.
**[1:15:26] Sosuke**
Hey, wait, what's with that butterfly?
**[1:15:29] Rin**
Right? Isn't Natsuya-san amazing?!
**[1:15:34] Ikuya**
Kinjo...
**[1:15:36] Kinjo**
Just watch quietly.
**[1:15:37] Kinjo**
I'll come back in first place.
**[1:15:53] Haruka**
Thanks, Makoto.
**[1:15:56] Haruka**
I'm off.
**[1:16:02] Kinjo**
*The answer's in the water.*
**[1:16:05] Kinjo**
*My connections...*
**[1:16:10] Kinjo**
*Just what I want!*
**[1:16:11] Kinjo**
*I'll show you my freestyle!*
**[1:16:25] Haruka**
I don't like it when people
quit while they're ahead.
**[1:16:27] Haruka**
Come at me with everything.
**[1:16:35] Goro**
He did it!
**[1:16:38] Hiyori**
You swam as well as I thought you would.
**[1:16:41] Natsuya**
You did good.
**[1:16:42] Ikuya**
Thanks for your hard work, Kinjo.
**[1:16:45] Kinjo**
I didn't work that hard, though.
**[1:16:49] Rin**
Sosuke, let's make sure we carry
on what this relay started.
**[1:16:52] Sosuke**
Yeah, I know.
**[1:16:55] Rei**
Now, it's finally time!
**[1:16:57] Nagisa**
For the finals!
**[1:17:01] Ikuya**
Haru, are you okay?
**[1:17:03] Haruka**
Yeah, I made it somehow.
**[1:17:05] Sosuke**
It was worth the wait.
**[1:17:08] Kinjo**
Don't show us any lame swimming.
**[1:17:10] Natsuya**
You should be more honest with yourself.
**[1:17:12] Haruka**
Thanks, Kinjo.
**[1:17:15] Natsuya**
Haruka, make sure you don't overdo it.
**[1:17:19] Haruka**
I won't.
**[1:17:22] Haruka**
I'm not good with stuff like this,
**[1:17:24] Haruka**
so I might not be able to say this well,
**[1:17:27] Haruka**
but I'm going to pour
**[1:17:29] Haruka**
all of my feelings into this relay.
**[1:17:32] Haruka**
Before, I didn't really understand
gold medals and all that stuff.
**[1:17:36] Haruka**
But right now, I want to swim with
everything I have and get one.
**[1:17:40] Haruka**
A medal, with you guys!
**[1:17:43] Sosuke**
What're you trying to act cool for?
**[1:17:45] Ikuya**
Let him have this one. Just this once.
**[1:17:48] Rin**
Yeah.
**[1:17:49] Haruka**
What kind of reaction is that?
**[1:17:52] Rin**
I'm glad I get to swim a relay with you
at such an important competition.
**[1:17:59] Ikuya**
I wonder if I'll get to see that view again.
**[1:18:02] Sosuke**
Let's see an even more amazing one.
**[1:18:04] Rin**
Yeah!
**[1:18:06] Rin**
Whether we like it or not,
this is our one race.
**[1:18:09] Rin**
Haru! Are you ready?
**[1:18:11] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[1:18:14] Haruka**
I will only swim freestyle!
**[1:18:19] Rin**
Now, it's time for the climax!
**[1:18:26] Nitori/Momotaro**
Sosuke-senpai!
**[1:18:29] Hiyori**
Ikuya!
**[1:18:31] Gou**
Big Brother!
**[1:18:34] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[1:18:34] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[1:18:37] Asahi**
We're counting on you, Haru!
**[1:18:51] Starter**
Take your marks...
**[1:19:04] Kisumi**
Sosuke got a great start!
**[1:19:06] Makoto**
Yeah, his strokes flow really well!
**[1:19:10] Gou**
Sosuke-kun!
**[1:19:12] Spectator A**
Hey, isn't that Yamazaki Sosuke from Tokitsu?
**[1:19:15] Spectator B**
Seriously?
**[1:19:17] Momotaro**
Sosuke-senpai went to Samezuka, you know.
**[1:19:20] Mikoshiba**
That's right!
**[1:19:21] Mikoshiba**
Yamazaki was Samezuka's ace!
**[1:19:23] Mikoshiba**
Now, you guys, this is the last one!
**[1:19:26] Mikoshiba**
Give it all you've got!
**[1:19:29] Nitori**
Yes, sir!
**[1:19:29] Minami**
Yes, sir!
**[1:19:29] Momotaro**
Yes!
**[1:19:29] Uozumi**
Yes!
**[1:19:30] Mikoshiba**
Push!
**[1:19:32] All**
Push!
**[1:19:33] Mikoshiba**
Push!
**[1:19:33] All**
Push!
**[1:19:34] Mikoshiba**
Push!
**[1:19:35] All**
Push!
**[1:19:36] Mikoshiba**
Push!
**[1:19:36] All**
Push!
**[1:19:39] Ikuya**
He still has the momentum
from his start in that turn!
**[1:19:42] Nagisa**
That's the kick he learned from Mako-chan!
**[1:19:44] Makoto**
Yes!
**[1:19:45] Hiyori**
Yamazaki-kun's doing great!
**[1:19:49] Rin**
Damn, Sosuke! He's speeding
up in the second half!
**[1:19:53] Haruka**
Sosuke...
**[1:19:55] Ikuya**
Haru, Rin...
**[1:19:57] Ikuya**
It's been a long time
since I was this excited.
**[1:20:01] Ikuya**
Swimming really is great, isn't it?
**[1:20:04] Rin**
Damn right it is!
**[1:20:07] Sosuke**
Ikuya!
**[1:20:08] Asahi**
All right!
**[1:20:09] Asahi**
That's an amazing start!
**[1:20:17] Romio**
Wow, he's right on the heels of the leader!
**[1:20:20] Rin**
Your stamina's amazing, Ikuya!
**[1:20:24] Hiyori**
Yes! He's still in second at the turn!
**[1:20:28] Natsuya**
Hurry up and come back to the goal!
**[1:20:31] Natsuya**
I'm proud of you, Little Brother!
**[1:20:36] Kinjo**
Guess you *can* do it if you try.
**[1:20:38] Ikuya**
*This feels nostalgic.*
**[1:20:41] Ikuya**
*Swimming for someone else...*
**[1:20:43] Ikuya**
*Trying to reach one goal with everyone!*
**[1:20:47] Asahi**
Yes!
**[1:20:47] Nagisa**
Iku-chan!
**[1:20:49] Rin**
Did you see that?
**[1:20:50] Rin**
That's our team. Our relay.
**[1:20:55] Rin**
Careful you don't get bitten from behind.
**[1:20:59] Ikuya**
Rin!
**[1:21:06] Rei**
You entered the water at
the perfect angle, Rin-san!
**[1:21:10] Momotaro**
He's gaining fast!
**[1:21:12] Nitori**
What amazing power!
**[1:21:14] Amakata**
His time's amazing, too!
**[1:21:16] Goro**
What kind of swimming is that?!
**[1:21:19] Mikhail**
Rin-kun's the type to swim with his emotions.
**[1:21:22] Mikhail**
Looks like he's really in the zone right now!
**[1:21:26] Sosuke**
Looking good, Rin!
**[1:21:28] Nao**
I'm surprised...
**[1:21:29] Natsuya**
Right? Isn't he a great swimmer?
**[1:21:32] Gou**
Big Brother!
**[1:21:33] Miyako**
Look, Dad... Rin's doing his best.
**[1:21:38] Mikoshiba**
You've gotten better, Matsuoka.
**[1:21:41] Makoto**
He finally caught up!
**[1:21:44] Sosuke**
Looks like it'll come down to the anchors.
**[1:21:46] Ikuya**
The rest is up to you, Haru.
**[1:21:48] Haruka**
I know.
**[1:21:53] Haruka**
Ever since I swam with you,
**[1:21:55] Haruka**
I've been thinking about
what it means to swim.
**[1:22:00] Haruka**
I'll show you what's
important to me right now.
**[1:22:17] Rin**
Haru!
**[1:22:25] Kisumi**
They're pretty much even?!
**[1:22:26] Asahi**
No, Albert's still faster.
**[1:22:30] Asahi**
But...
**[1:22:31] Natsuya**
Haruka's slowly catching up!
**[1:22:42] Sosuke**
Haru's momentum won't stop!
**[1:22:50] Rei**
It's like he's swimming in
a different dimension...
**[1:22:53] Mikoshiba**
It's a clash of wills.
**[1:22:55] Nitori**
Albert-san's going into the turn!
**[1:23:00] Makoto**
Haru's speeding up, too!
**[1:23:06] Asahi**
Incredible!
**[1:23:08] Azuma**
Move forward, Nanase!
**[1:23:11] Haruka**
*Once you dive in,*
**[1:23:13] Haruka**
*the water bares its fangs and attacks.*
**[1:23:19] Haruka**
*But I will not fear!*
**[1:23:25] Makoto**
You really are unbeatable in
the water, huh, Haru-chan?
**[1:23:28] Rin**
They're finally neck and neck!
**[1:23:44] Haruka (6th grade)**
Come...
**[1:23:45] Haruka (6th grade)**
I want to race the real you.
**[1:23:48] Haruka (6th grade)**
In the water, everyone's free.
**[1:24:04] Natsuya**
Albert's speeding up?!
**[1:24:06] Nao**
They're already way faster
than the Japanese record!
**[1:24:09] Hiyori**
This is world record speed!
**[1:24:14] Mikhail**
It's too soon to cry just yet, Ryuuji.
**[1:24:20] Gou**
Haruka-senpai!
**[1:24:22] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[1:24:22] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[1:24:25] Asahi**
Go!
**[1:24:27] Sosuke**
Haru!
**[1:24:30] Ikuya**
Just a little more!
**[1:24:31] Rin**
Come on! Haru!
**[1:24:35] Makoto**
Haru!
**[1:24:50] Goro**
No way!
**[1:24:56] Haruka**
Let's swim together again.
I like your swimming.
**[1:25:10] Ikuya**
Haru!
**[1:25:13] Rin**
Jeez, your freestyle was like a miracle!
**[1:25:17] Ikuya**
Haru, that was the best relay ever!
**[1:25:21] Sosuke**
You showed us an amazing sight, Haru.
**[1:25:25] Haruka**
It's because all of you were here.
**[1:25:27] Haruka**
Thank you.
**[1:26:00] Romio**
So cool...
**[1:26:15] Rin**
Haru?!
**[1:26:17] Nagisa**
Haru-chan?!
**[1:26:18] Asahi**
Haru... You can't be serious!
**[1:26:23] Tournament Staff**
Wait a minute!
**[1:26:24] Natsuya**
Shush!
**[1:26:26] Rin**
Hey, Haru! Are you okay?!
**[1:26:28] Haruka**
Yeah...
**[1:26:29] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[1:26:31] Nagisa**
Are you okay?!
**[1:26:32] Haruka**
You guys...
**[1:26:34] Makoto**
Haru!
**[1:26:35] Nitori**
Nanase-san!
**[1:26:36] Asahi**
Haru!
**[1:26:37] Hiyori**
Nanase-kun?
**[1:26:38] Sosuke**
Hey, Haru!
**[1:26:40] Momotaro**
Nanase-san!
**[1:26:42] Ikuya**
Haru!
**[1:26:42] Nagisa**
Haru-chan!
**[1:26:44] Makoto**
Haru!
**[1:26:45] Rin**
Haru!
**[1:26:46] Rei**
Haruka-senpai!
**[1:27:08] Student A**
Oh, wow, that's huge!
**[1:27:12] Student A**
This is that one guy, right?
**[1:27:14] Student A**
Man, what a waste.
**[1:27:17] Student B**
Yeah, he got a medal and everything, too.
***SIGN*** Nanase Haruka, Matsuoka Rin, Kirishima Ikuya,

**[1:27:27] Nitori**
Is Nanase-san okay now?
**[1:27:30] Ikuya**
Yeah, he was discharged from
the hospital last month.
**[1:27:33] Ikuya**
He's back in Iwatobi now.
**[1:27:35] Nitori**
Oh, really? I'm glad.
**[1:27:39] Nitori**
I hope we can see it again.
**[1:27:42] Ikuya**
Huh?
**[1:27:42] Nitori**
Of course, Nanase-san is good with freestyle,
**[1:27:45] Nitori**
but the relay fits him just as well!
**[1:27:49] Ikuya**
Yeah, that's true. I think so, too.

Nagisa-kun, you're late!
**[1:35:59] Nagisa**
I got on the wrong train.
**[1:36:01] Rei**
Jeez, it's almost time for the tournament!
**[1:36:04] Rei**
Come on, let's go!
**[1:36:07] Nagisa**
Wait, Rei-chan!
**[1:36:12] Nagisa**
And you know, Ai-chan and Iku-chan's
times have improved so much!
**[1:36:17] Nagisa**
It makes me happy just to swim!
**[1:36:19] Rei**
Me, too!
**[1:36:20] Rei**
There's so much excitement every day,
**[1:36:22] Rei**
and I discover something
new every time I swim.
**[1:36:24] Nagisa**
Yeah, yeah!
**[1:36:25] Asahi**
Then show me, too!
**[1:36:29] Asahi**
The results of your training!
**[1:36:31] Nagisa**
Asa-chan?!
**[1:36:32] Asahi**
Hey, Nagisa, Rei.
**[1:36:34] Asahi**
We won't hold back during
today's joint practice!
**[1:36:37] Asahi**
Our Hidaka team has guys from Kazami, too!
**[1:36:42] Nagisa**
Look forward to swimming with you!
**[1:36:44] Rei**
Please don't be surprised at how much
Nagisa-kun and I have grown, Asahi-san!
**[1:36:50] Asahi**
That's *my* line, Rei!
**[1:36:52] Momotaro**
I, Mikoshiba Momotaro, captain of
the Samezuka Academy swim team,
**[1:36:58] Momotaro**
will make one last glorious appearance
before the farewell race!
**[1:37:02] Ayumu**
Very well.
**[1:37:04] Ayumu**
I, captain of the Iwatobi swim team,
**[1:37:07] Ayumu**
will accept your challenge!
**[1:37:09] Momotaro**
That's what I like to hear!
**[1:37:13] Hiyori**
Your cousin was Coach Azuma's childhood friend?
**[1:37:18] Kinjo**
A lot of stuff happened.
**[1:37:20] Kinjo**
I'll tell you more some other time.
**[1:37:23] Sosuke**
Anyway, can't you be more sociable?
**[1:37:26] Kisumi**
Am I really hearing that from *you*, Sosuke?
**[1:37:28] Sosuke**
Shut up.
**[1:37:29] Kinjo**
Yamazaki Sosuke,
**[1:37:31] Kinjo**
you swim butterfly, too, right?
**[1:37:34] Kinjo**
Wanna race later?
**[1:37:36] Sosuke**
Sorry, I need to swim with Asahi first.
**[1:37:40] Sosuke**
You've got a different
promise to keep, don't you?
**[1:37:43] Kisumi**
You're so popular, Sosuke.
**[1:37:45] Sosuke**
Kisumi...
**[1:37:46] Ikuya**
You guys are having more fun than I expected.
**[1:37:49] Ikuya**
We'll settle things at the
joint practice, right?
**[1:37:52] Ikuya**
Is the 100m freestyle okay?
**[1:37:54] Kinjo**
The individual medley's okay, too.
**[1:37:56] Kinjo**
It doesn't matter, since I'll win either way.
**[1:37:59] Ikuya**
Say that *after* you've won.
**[1:38:00] Kinjo**
That's *my* line.
**[1:38:03] Ikuya**
You're such a poor loser.
**[1:38:04] Kinjo**
Look who's talking!
**[1:38:06] Kisumi**
I hope we can all be friends
with Kinjo-kun, too.
**[1:38:10] Hiyori**
I think that'll take some time...
**[1:38:26] Hanamura**
Gou, your brother's overseas again?
**[1:38:29] Gou**
Yeah, in Hungary.
**[1:38:31] Hanamura**
That's crazy!
**[1:38:33] Hanamura**
Oh, did you see the ad?
**[1:38:34] Gou**
Yeah! Isn't Haruka-senpai amazing?
***SIGN*** Forward, to the future!
Nanase Haruka
**[1:38:38] Hanamura**
Yeah! Even I could tell that
his swimming was amazing
**[1:38:41] Hanamura**
at the world championships!
**[1:38:43] Hanamura**
But what a waste...
**[1:38:46] Hanamura**
After that race, Nanase-senpai
left competitive swimming, right?
**[1:38:51] Gou**
Actually, I asked my brother about that...
**[1:38:54] Natsuya**
He's coming back?
**[1:38:56] Natsuya**
Albert is?
**[1:38:57] Nao**
Yeah.
**[1:38:58] Nao**
Apparently, there's a guy he
wants to race against again.
**[1:39:02] Nao**
He had a rare clash of opinions
with the owner of his team.
**[1:39:08] Natsuya**
I admire his guts.
**[1:39:10] Natsuya**
This should make the Athens
championships exciting.
**[1:39:13] Nao**
Yeah.
**[1:39:15] Nao**
It looks like Haruka's back, too.
**[1:39:17] Mikhail**
I heard Nanase-kun swam in a short
course competition in Mexico last week.
**[1:39:24] Azuma**
It wasn't even an official race,
but he got so excited.
**[1:39:28] Mikhail**
You're happy that your dear student's
coming back, aren't you?
**[1:39:32] Azuma**
Shut up.
**[1:39:34] Azuma**
Your Matsuoka's in Hungary right now, right?
**[1:39:37] Mikhail**
Yeah, he is.
**[1:39:38] Mikhail**
With Nanase-kun.
**[1:40:28] Makoto**
Haru.
**[1:40:34] Makoto**
It's been a while.
**[1:40:36] Haruka**
Makoto...
**[1:40:41] Makoto**
Looks like your rehab's going well.
**[1:40:44] Haruka**
Yeah.
**[1:40:45] Haruka**
I feel relaxed here.
**[1:40:47] Haruka**
In Japan, I had to keep doing interviews.
**[1:40:50] Makoto**
That's true. You got so much press.
**[1:40:55] Makoto**
Everyone's doing well.
**[1:40:58] Makoto**
They're all wondering how you are.
**[1:41:00] Haruka**
I see...
**[1:41:02] Makoto**
I heard Rin's here, too.
**[1:41:05] Makoto**
He's close by.
**[1:41:09] Nitori**
Wow, this is great!
**[1:41:11] Rin**
Jeez, you just started school,
and you're already studying abroad.
**[1:41:15] Rin**
You're practically a delinquent, Ai.
**[1:41:18] Nitori**
I'm sure I learned that from you, Rin-senpai.
**[1:41:22] Rin**
Me?
**[1:41:23] Rin**
I wasn't a delinquent.
**[1:41:25] Nitori**
Yeah, that's true.
**[1:41:29] Rin**
Anyway, you never said anything
about Mikhail in high school.
**[1:41:33] Nitori**
I was so weak that I was too embarrassed
to admit I was related to Uncle Mikhail.
**[1:41:39] Nitori**
But I can say it now.
**[1:41:42] Nitori**
I'll get even stronger and stronger!
**[1:41:46] Rin**
You've matured a lot.
**[1:41:50] Nitori**
Oh, it looks like Tachibana-san's
gotten in touch with Nanase-san.
**[1:42:42] Rin**
Hey, Haru.
**[1:42:44] Rin**
How've you been?
**[1:42:45] Haruka**
Not bad.
**[1:42:49] Rin**
I had a dream...
**[1:42:51] Rin**
about a race.
**[1:42:53] Haruka**
I did, too.
**[1:42:55] Rin**
Hey, Haru.
**[1:42:57] Rin**
Don't you wonder how the dream ends?
**[1:43:05] Haruka**
I'd say...
**[1:43:09] Haruka**
it's obvious.
**[1:43:22] Akane**
I heard Albert-kun is making a comeback
at the Athens championships!
**[1:43:27] Asahi**
Everyone's so amazing. They're moving
forward toward their goals.
**[1:43:32] Akane**
You're aiming for the championships,
too, aren't you?
**[1:43:36] Asahi**
Yeah, I guess.
**[1:43:37] Asahi**
I really should have started
looking for a job a long time ago,
**[1:43:41] Asahi**
but seeing Haru and Ikuya and
the others, I couldn't sit still.
**[1:43:45] Asahi**
I hope I can show you some
serious swimming, too!
**[1:43:50] Akane**
I'll be cheering for you, so do your best.
**[1:43:52] Akane**
Anyway, what have you been
looking at this whole time?
**[1:43:55] Asahi**
Oh, a video on this channel.
***SIGN*** Kon.

**[1:43:59] Asahi**
It's an interview with Haru and
the other guys from high school.
**[1:44:02] Asahi**
It's amazing Big Brother Kon's done
interviews like this for so long!
**[1:44:07] Akane**
Oh, Kon-kun only edited it.
**[1:44:10] Akane**
He put together footage of
Haruka-kun and the others
**[1:44:13] Akane**
from when they were kids that
he got from different people.
**[1:44:20] Akane**
Seeing them like this is kind
of energizing, isn't it?
**[1:44:24] Asahi**
Yeah, it's Haru's influence.
**[1:44:30] Asahi**
Once they see his swimming,
everyone gets drawn in.
**[1:44:42] Asahi**
He really is free, that Haru.
**[1:44:55] Haruka**
*The water is alive.*
***SIGN*** Even if you become an ordinary person, keep swimming.
**[1:46:02] Haruka**
