SIGN    Congratulations Swim Club on Advancing to Nationals
[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
    Tachibana! Nanase!
[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!
[01:09] Makoto
    Haru...
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.

[08:37] 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?

[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.

    Sasabe-san, I appreciate you
    spending your rare day off here.
[12:44] Sasabe
    Oh, it's no trouble.
[12:45] ---
    There's no other time I can really
    come oversee their training.
[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!

    Hey, Rin.

    We should get going.

    Right. Sorry.

    do you live near each other?

    Are you going home together?!

[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!

    I collected fresh sap for him,
    fed him high-protein jelly,

    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.

    Haru!

[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!

    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.
[23:25] Rin
