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

[04:51] Asahi
H-Hey, aren't you...
[04:55] Asahi
Nanase Haruka?!
[04:57] Asahi
D-Do you remember me? We used to...
[05:03] Haru
Asahi?
[05:04] Haru
Shiina Asahi?
[05:07] Asahi
That's right! I'm Asahi!
[05:09] Asahi
It really is you, Haru!
[05:10] Asahi
I haven't seen you since our
first year in middle school!
[05:13] Asahi
Talk about a coincidence!
[05:15] Asahi
Hey, c'mon. You could
look a little happier...
[05:18] Asahi
But I guess that reaction is typical Haru.
[05:20] Asahi
You haven't changed a bit!
[05:22] Haru
Neither have you.
[05:23] Asahi
I've definitely changed!
[05:25] Asahi
I'm a mature man now, I'd say.
[05:27] Asahi
Oh, by the way, do you
remember Shigino Kisumi?
[05:31] Asahi
He's at this university, too!
[05:33] Haru
I did know that.
[05:35] Asahi
Man, for real?
[05:37] Asahi
Wait, did you go to high school with him?
[05:39] Haru
No, different high schools.
[05:42] Haru
His younger brother came to the Iwatobi SC,
[05:44] Haru
so I saw him again there.
[05:46] Asahi
SC?
[05:52] Haru
Are you still swimming?
[05:54] Asahi
Huh?
[05:55] Asahi
Yeah, of course I am.
[05:57] Asahi
I'm on my way to my first practice here.
[05:59] Asahi
What about you?
[06:01] Asahi
You quit the swim club
after I moved away, right?
[06:04] Asahi
And you never replied to my letters...
[06:07] Haru
Sorry.
[06:08] Haru
But I started swimming again in high school.
[06:12] Haru
I'm heading to practice now, too.
[06:14] Asahi
Wow, really?
[06:15] Asahi
That means we'll be on the same team again!
[06:18] Haru
Yeah.
[06:21] Coach
I'm Coach Tsukamoto.
[06:24] Coach
The new first-years will be
practicing with us as of today.
[06:28] Coach
And let me warn you right now
[06:30] Coach
that you're not going to have time to
celebrate that you're college boys now.
[06:33] Coach
You won't have a spare moment to
waste on part-time jobs or parties.
[06:36] Coach
Stay focused at all times.
[06:39] Coach
We will now have the first-years
introduce themselves
[06:43] Coach
and swim their best stroke, one by one.
[06:46] Coach
Are you ready?
[06:47] All
Yes, sir!
[06:51] Wilson
Rin, you're still here.
[06:53] Wilson
Good timing, actually.
[06:56] Rin
What is it, Coach?
[06:57] Wilson
I want to introduce you to someone.
[07:00] Wilson
Rin, this is my friend, Mihail.
[07:03] Mihail
Hi, Rin-kun. Wil has told me about you.
[07:06] Rin
Rin-kun?
[07:07] Wilson
He used to live in Japan.
[07:10] Mihail
Those are some nice muscles...
[07:13] Mihail
Glad to know ya, Matsuoka Rin-kun.
[07:17] Rin
Nice to meet you, too.
[07:19] Coach
Next!
[07:20] Haru
Nanase Haruka.
[07:22] Haru
I specialize in free.
[07:25] Asahi
Hey, Haru, are you still saying
that "I only swim free" thing?
[07:30] Haru
No, I do other strokes during practice.
[07:34] Haru
But...
[07:37] Haru
When I'm swimming for real, it's always free.
[07:48] Asahi
Man, Haru's amazing!
[07:50] Coach
I see.
[07:56] Mihail
Cho-very good, Rin-kun!
[07:58] Wilson
Cho-very...?
[08:01] Mihail
It's Japanese slang for "amazing."
[08:04] Asahi
He went into the turn while accelerating!
[08:06] Mikoshiba
Nice kick!
[08:31] Suzuki
That was incredible, Nanase!
[08:33] Inada
I saw you swim the freestyle
at the nationals last year.
[08:37] Asahi
What? You went to the nationals, Haru?
[08:40] Asahi
Our team just missed out on qualifying.
[08:43] Haru
Really?
[08:45] Kiryuu
I'm Kiryuu Isana.
[08:47] Kiryuu
I swam at the nationals
in the 200m freestyle.
[08:50] Unida
I'm Unita Hikaru. I'm from Hokkaido.
[08:53] Suzuki
Everyone calls him the King
Salmon of the Okhotsk.
[08:57] Unida
"Salmon," even though
Unita has "urchin" in it!
[09:00] Haru
That's pretty impressive.
[09:01] Hikaru
Hey, you're supposed to laugh at that!
[09:03] Mikoshiba
Yo, guys. High school and college
are two different worlds.
[09:07] Mokoshiba
Don't get careless.
[09:09] Both
R-Right!
[09:10] Mikoshiba
First up is next week's newcomer tournament.
[09:13] Mikoshiba
First-years from all the strongest
college teams in Kanto will be there,
[09:17] Mikoshiba
so don't let your guard down!
[09:19] Coach
Hey, Mikoshiba!
[09:20] Mikoshiba
Yes, sir! I'm coming!
[09:22] Inada
Mikoshiba-senpai's swim
style is all about power.
[09:25] Inada
I've seen him in tournament races.
[09:28] Asahi
Haru, you already know
Mikoshiba-senpai, right?
[09:31] Haru
Yeah. We went to different high
schools, but he helped me out.
[09:34] Asahi
Hey, by the way, what's Makoto been up to?
[09:37] Asahi
Is he doing okay?
[09:39] Haru
He's in Tokyo, too.
[09:42] Saotome
Aw, man... What if I can't follow the lesson?
[09:47] Makoto
I could lend you my notes.
[09:48] Saotome
Really?
[09:49] Makoto
Sure.
[09:51] Makoto
Whoops...
[09:53] Saotome
Nagisa? Is that your girlfriend?
[09:57] Makoto
No, he's a guy.
SIGN A lot of kids joined the Iwatobi Swim Club as provisional members, but out of those...
[09:59] Makoto
We were in the same club.
[10:01] [SONG] Text
Three stayed in the club!
[10:01] Nagisa
Wow, Mako-chan replies fast!
[10:05] Gou
Was it okay to message him?
He wasn't in class or anything?
[10:08] Rei
Makoto-senpai isn't the type to
reply to messages during class.
SIGN Cool.
[10:13] [SONG] Makoto
Hope it goes well.
[10:14] Nagisa
Wait, that's it?!
[10:15] Rei
Well, I guess he wouldn't know what
to say when all you tell him is that
[10:18] ---
we have three new members.
[10:20] Nagisa
All right, then, let's
give him more information!
[10:24] Gou
Guys, come over here!
We're taking your pictures!
[10:27] Three
Okay!
SIGN Hayafune Romio Best Stroke: Freestyle
[10:29] Nagisa
We'll start with Romi-chan.
[10:32] Nagisa
Smile big!
SIGN Isurugi Shizuru Can swim any stroke!!
[10:34] Nagisa
You're next, Shizu-chan!
[10:36] Rei
Come on! Don't stiffen up!
SIGN Kunikida Ayumu Manager
[10:39] Nagisa
Next, Ayumu-chan!
[10:41] Gou
Ayumu-chan, relax, would you?
[10:44] Ayumu
R-Right...
[10:45] Gou
So, Ayumu-chan, what's your favorite muscle?
[10:48] Ayumu
Uh, I'm not really into muscles...
[10:51] Gou
You don't like muscles?!
[10:53] Ayumu
Given the choice,
[10:55] Ayumu
I'd prefer someone with a little fat on them.
[10:58] Gou
You're actually into fat?!
[10:59] Rei
Is it me, or do these
look a bit like mugshots?
[11:03] Gou
They do...
[11:05] Nagisa
Let's all take one together, then!
[11:07] Nagisa
We might as well get into our swimsuits!
[11:10] Amakata
It's certainly gutsy of you to ask me
to take a picture of you in swimsuits.
[11:15] Amakata
But very well. Since you asked,
I'll take the best photo you ever saw.
[11:19] Amakata
There's a famous saying that goes:
[11:21] Amakata
"It takes a man, not a god,
to capture a miracle shot."
[11:24] Amakata
"Miracles don't happen, they—"
[11:25] Nagisa
Okay, Sensei, we get it! Hurry up!
[11:27] Amakata
Right, right!
[11:28] Rei
Pay attention, everyone!
[11:30] Rei
According to photography theory... eh?
[11:35] Gou
Your eyes are half-closed, Rei-kun!
[11:37] Rei
That is not beautiful. Can we take another—
[11:41] Nagisa
And sent!
[11:44] Gou
It's totally you, Rei-kun.
[11:45] Rei
What's that supposed to mean?!
[11:49] Makoto
That's so like Rei...
SIGN Nanase Haruka
[11:54] Makoto
Haru?
[11:55] Asahi
Makoto, it's me.
[11:58] Makoto
Uh, you're not Haru, are you?
[11:59] Asahi
Aw, man! He knew right away!
[12:02] Makoto
Who is this? Is Haru there?
[12:05] Asahi
He is, and Kisumi's here, too.
[12:07] Makoto
Um...
[12:08] Kisumi
Hey, Makoto?
[12:10] Kisumi
Bet you were surprised, huh?
You were expecting Haru and got Asahi.
[12:14] Asahi
Hey!
[12:15] Asahi
Damn it, Kisumi! Why'd you just tell him?!
[12:17] Makoto
Huh? Asahi?
[12:19] Makoto
Wait, that Asahi?!
[12:21] Asahi
That's right, Makoto.
[12:23] Asahi
Been a while, huh?
SIGN Marron
[12:27] Makoto
So your older sister runs this shop, Asahi?
[12:31] Akane
It belonged to my mother-in-law.
She ran it for ages.
[12:35] Asahi
Yeah, so basically,
it's my sister's shop now.
[12:38] Asahi
Feel free to order anything you want.
[12:41] Akane
You'll have to pay, though, of course.
[12:44] Asahi
Man, Sis, you're so stingy.
[12:46] Akane
You better believe it!
[12:48] Akane
This is a business, you know.
[12:50] Akane
Anyway, Makoto-kun, you sure have grown up.
[12:54] Asahi
Looks like a grown-up now, doesn't he?
[12:57] Makoto
I didn't recognize you, either.
[12:59] Makoto
You grew up a lot.
[13:00] Asahi
Yeah, well, you know...
[13:02] Asahi
By the way, Makoto, Haru told me
[13:05] Asahi
that you're majoring in sports education?
[13:07] Asahi
You're hoping to be a
swimming teacher, right?
[13:09] Makoto
Yeah. I thought it'd be nice to teach
little kids how fun swimming is.
[13:14] Kisumi
Sounds just like you, Makoto.
[13:15] Makoto
You moved to Kyushu after
you left Iwatobi, right?
[13:20] Makoto
Did you stick with swimming?
[13:22] Asahi
Yeah, but I moved to another
school later, Kazami High School,
[13:27] Asahi
and they didn't have a swim club.
[13:30] Asahi
I recruited members and started
up a new one. It was crazy hard.
[13:34] Makoto
Wow, you did that, too?
[13:36] Makoto
We started a new swim club
at our high school, too.
[13:40] Makoto
Right, Haru?
[13:41] Haru
Yeah, starting with fixing up the pool.
[13:44] Asahi
Really?! Same here!
[13:46] Asahi
That's really hard work, huh?
[13:48] Asahi
It took forever to clear out all the moss.
[13:51] Asahi
Hey, wanna see pictures?
[13:52] Kisumi
Of the moss?
[13:54] Asahi
No!
[13:56] Asahi
Right here. These guys were
my buddies in high school.
[14:00] Asahi
And this was my team in Kyushu.
[14:03] Asahi
We won at the junior tournament.
[14:06] Kisumi
Eighth grade?
[14:07] Asahi
Ninth, I think.
[14:09] Asahi
And then there's...
[14:11] Kisumi
Look how young I am!
[14:14] Kisumi
Haru looks so young and innocent, too.
[14:17] Haru
I'm still young and innocent.
[14:18] Asahi
You can't say that about yourself...
[14:20] Kisumi
And Asahi looks like a monkey.
[14:22] Asahi
Don't call me a monkey!
[14:24] Kisumi
Hey, look!
[14:25] Kisumi
It's Ikuya!
[14:26] Kisumi
I wonder what he's up to now...
[14:29] Kisumi
Huh? What's up?
[14:31] Asahi
Oh, just... I never got to tell Ikuya I
was moving before I left our old school.
[14:36] Makoto
Ikuya followed Natsuya-senpai
to America from eighth grade up.
[14:42] Makoto
I don't know if he's
still swimming, though...
[14:45] Kisumi
We'll never make friends like
the ones we had back then.
[14:50] Kisumi
Wasn't there some movie about that?
[14:52] Asahi
Why are you trying to sound all cool now?
[14:54] Asahi
And what do you mean by the
friends we had "back then"?
[14:57] Asahi
We're still friends now, aren't we?
[14:59] Akane
Come on, you two.
[15:01] Akane
Save that kind of talk for when
you're doddering old geezers.
[15:05] Akane
You're still young, so live
your life while you can.
[15:08] Kisumi
You're right.
[15:10] Asahi
Live in the present...
[15:12] Asahi
Which means you gotta dream big and
aim for the global stage, right?
[15:15] Kisumi
Oh, nice one, Asahi!
[15:18] Makoto
To reach the global stage,
[15:19] Makoto
first you have to win the All-Japan
Invitational Tournament
[15:21] Makoto
and be selected for the national team.
[15:23] Haru
But before that, we have
the newcomer tournament.
[15:26] Akane
That's the Intercollegiate Newcomer
Swimming Tournament, right?
[15:31] Akane
My husband said he was going to cover that.
[15:34] Makoto
Cover?
[15:35] Asahi
Oh, her husband's a sports writer.
[15:39] Kisumi
Really? That's awesome!
[15:41] Makoto
So that's why there are so many
articles and photos hung up in here.
[15:44] Asahi
Yep. And after that last tournament...
[16:04] (Flashback) Makoto
Ikuya!
[16:10] (Flashback) All
Haru!
SIGN Iwatobi Middle
[16:15] (Flashback) Asahi
Crap! We were so close!
[16:19] (Flashback) Makoto
And we tried so hard...
[16:21] (Flashback) Ikuya
It wasn't enough.
[16:22] (Flashback) Ikuya
More... We have to practice more!
[16:26] (Flashback) Haru
Yeah. Next time,
[16:28] (Flashback) Haru
in next summer's tournament,
we'll win for sure.
[16:30] (Flashback) Haru
The four of us.
[16:32] (Flashback) Asahi
Yeah!
[16:33] (Flashback) Asahi
Let's start working for it
right now with a training camp!
[16:37] (Flashback) Makoto
Hang on, Asahi! Isn't it too soon for that?
[16:40] (Flashback) Asahi
What are you talking about, Makoto?!
[16:42] (Flashback) Asahi
I'm so pissed off, I wanna start
busting my butt right this minute!
[16:56] Doctor
It's looking much better.
[16:58] Doctor
It should be all right to swim a little,
as long as you don't overdo it.
[17:04] Sousuke
Thank you.

SIGN Dear Rin,
[17:14] Kazu
It's me.

Hungry, Sousuke?
[17:17] Kazu
Today's employee dinner.
[17:19] Sousuke
Thanks, Kazu-nii.
[17:21] Kazu
Oh, you're writing a letter?
[17:23] Kazu
Did I interrupt?
[17:25] Sousuke
Nah. I never get very far
when I try to write letters.
[17:29] Kazu
True. I suck at it, too.
SIGN Dear Rin,
SIGN Certain Victory
[17:34] Kazu
Well, don't worry about the family.
[17:37] Kazu
You can let me handle the restaurant.
[17:39] Kazu
In the end, I'll be taking it over.
[17:42] Kazu
It'll be my restaurant.
[17:44] Kazu
I'll call it "Restaurant Kazuma."
[17:46] Sousuke
You're even gonna change the name?
[17:48] Kazu
Damn right.
[17:49] Sousuke
What the hell, man?
[17:52] Nitori
Nanase-san is in Tokyo today
for a newcomer tournament?
[17:57] Nagisa
Yeah.
[17:58] Nagisa
He met up with some guys he swam
medley relays with in middle school,
[18:03] Nagisa
and now they're on the same college team.
[18:05] Nagisa
I think their names were
Asa-chan and Iku-chan.
[18:08] Rei
But it sounded like he only
met up with one of them.
[18:12] Gou
I heard that the one
[18:14] Gou
who's in the same college team with
him now is named Shiina Asahi.
[18:19] Gou
I think the one he hasn't heard from yet
[18:22] Gou
was named Kirishima Ikuya.
[18:24] Sousuke
Kirishima Ikuya?
[18:26] Momo
You know him, Sousuke-senpai?
[18:28] Sousuke
Yeah.
[18:29] Sousuke
I saw him at last year's tournament.
[18:33] Sousuke
His swimming was incredibly graceful.
[18:38] Rei
The individual medley...
[18:40] Gou
Individual, not the relay?
[18:43] Sousuke
Yeah.
[18:44] Sousuke
And his freestyle looked just like Haru's.
[18:47] Nagisa
What?! Like Haru-chan's?!
[18:49] Rei
Perhaps he was also enchanted
by Haruka-senpai's freestyle
[18:53] Rei
and decided he wanted to learn
to swim that way himself.
[18:56] Nitori
That would mean he's still
swimming now, right?
[19:00] Nitori
If he's at a university in Tokyo,
[19:02] Nitori
maybe they'll meet up
at the tournament today!
SIGN Kanto Intercollegiate Newcomer Swimming Tournament
[19:23] Makoto
Let's see...
[19:24] Makoto
This must be it.
[19:27] Makoto
Hey, Kisumi?
[19:28] Kisumi
Makoto, what are you doing?
[19:30] Makoto
Sorry... My train was delayed.
[19:33] Makoto
Hurry up! Haru and Asahi's
race is about to start!
[19:37] Makoto
Right... Where are you?
[19:40] Kisumi
In the audience.
[19:41] Kisumi
I'm in the middle of the second level,
[19:43] Kisumi
so if you head upstairs, you'll see me.
[19:45] Makoto
Got it.
[19:49] Asahi
It's been ages since I
faced off against you.
[19:52] Asahi
Hey, Haru, do you remember
what I said in middle school?
[19:57] Asahi
I'm gonna beat you one day for sure!
[20:00] Haru
Did you say that?
[20:01] Asahi
Yes, I did!
[20:03] Asahi
At least remember the moment
I declared war on you!
[20:06] Haru
That makes this a battle spanning six years.
[20:09] Asahi
Yeah.
[20:10] Asahi
Back then, seeing your freestyle swim
shook me up so much, I couldn't swim.
[20:14] Asahi
It won't be that way this time.
[20:17] Makoto
Oh, good... I made it in time.
[20:19] Kisumi
Glad you made it.
[20:21] Kisumi
I don't think I've seen Asahi
swim since middle school.
[20:24] Makoto
Same here.
[20:26] Kisumi
Regardless of who wins and loses,
[20:28] Kisumi
anyone who beats the designated time goes
to the All-Japan Invitational, right?
[20:32] Makoto
No, this is just a newcomer tournament,
[20:35] Makoto
so no matter how good their time is, there's
no guarantee they'll go to the All-Japan.
[20:40] Makoto
Still,
[20:41] Makoto
this is their first competition
as college swimmers.
[20:44] Makoto
It's an important debut
for both Haru and Asahi.
[20:48] Voice
Take your marks.
[20:56] Kisumi
Asahi!
[20:57] Makoto
Haru!
[21:00] Kisumi
They're both so fast!
[21:05] Kiryuu
That Shiina guy is an amazing swimmer, too.
[21:08] Unida
What's up with Taka U's
first-years this year?!
[21:11] Mikoshiba
I can't afford to get lazy, either.
[21:16] Makoto
They're gaining even more speed!
[21:23] Kisumi
Amazing!
[21:24] Kisumi
They're way ahead!
[21:28] Hiyori
What's all that?
[21:30] Hiyori
They're just inferior copies of Ikuya.
[21:39] Asahi
Damn it!
[21:41] Asahi
I'll beat you next time for sure!
[21:43] Haru
I'll be sure to win next time, too.
[21:45] Asahi
What the hell makes you so confident?!
[21:47] Asahi
You seriously haven't changed at all!
[21:55] Asahi
Huh?
[21:57] Asahi
What is it, Haru?
[22:01] Haru
Ikuya?
[22:03] Nagisa
The cogs of fate are in motion at last!
[22:05] Nagisa
And suddenly, a reunion!
[22:07] Nagisa
Next time: "A Promise on a Shooting Star!"
SIGN Episode 2: A Promise on a Shooting Star!
[22:09] Rei
What feelings will pass
through Haruka-senpai's mind?
