[00:02] Makoto
    Okay, that's all for today.
[00:04] Kids
    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.

[02:37] Kisumi
    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?
[03:14] Kisumi
    We were talking about how you guys
    are working hard for the tournament.
[03:18] Asahi
    That's right! I'm starting practice
    first thing tomorrow, too!
[03:21] Asahi
    Anyway, Sis, food!
[03:24] Akane
    Sorry, it looks like we're
    short on supplies for dinner,
[03:27] Akane
    so I'll have to go shopping.
[03:29] Akane
    Watch Tsukushi, would you?
[03:30] Asahi
    Sure.
[03:32] Akane
    Oh, you'd rather go to Kisumi-kun?
[03:34] Kisumi
    Hey, cut that out.
[03:36] Asahi
    That's... kind of infuriating...
[03:39] Akane
    Okay, he's all yours.
[03:41] Kisumi
    Hey, come on, Tsukushi, keep stil—
[03:45] Kisumi
    Asahi, are you okay?!
[03:46] Asahi
    That's a pretty good kick you've got...
[03:50] Higashi
    Well, I'm on bike, so I'll be off.
[03:53] Higashi
    Don't forget, you owe me some cafeteria soba.
[03:57] Higashi
    See ya.
[04:00] Makoto
    He might actually be a decent guy.
[04:02] Haru
    Maybe.
[04:05] Makoto
    That surprised me, though.
[04:07] Makoto
    I never expected you to suggest
    that kind of practice yourself.
[04:11] Haru
    I'm not sure about it, either.
[04:14] Haru
    But...
[04:15] Haru
    It's for Ikuya.
[04:20] Makoto
    Yeah.
[04:35] Hoshikawa
    You okay, Kirishima?
[04:37] Ikuya
    Yeah.
[04:38] Hoshikawa
    This isn't like you.
[04:40] ---
    Your time's even worse than before.
[04:42] Hoshikawa
    If this keeps up, you won't make
    it to the All-Japan Invitational.
[04:46] Ikuya
    I know.
[04:58] Hoshikawa
    Is he really okay?
[05:01] Hiyori
    I think he's just anxious,
    with the tournament coming up.
[05:12] Sagae
    Today's regimen was even tougher than usual.
[05:15] Terashima
    Well, as someone who's going
    for a tournament record,
[05:18] Terashima
    I thought it wasn't tough enough.
[05:20] Sagae
    So what now? Wanna grab some food?
[05:22] Terashima
    Good idea. Come with us, Toono.
[05:25] Hiyori
    Sorry... I'm pretty tired
    today, so I'm heading home.
[05:28] Sagae
    Oh... Okay.
[05:30] Sagae
    What about you, Kirishima?
[05:31] Sagae
    Wanna go eat?
[05:35] Sagae
    What's up with you guys?
[05:36] ---
    Did you have a fight?
[05:38] Ikuya
    Nothing like that.
[05:40] Ikuya
    Sure, I'll go eat with you.
[05:42] Sagae
    O-Okay...
[05:43] Terashima
    Later, Toono.
[05:44] Sagae
    See you tomorrow.
[05:45] Hiyori
    Sure.
[05:52] Hiyori
    I'm...
[06:02] Hiyori
    Why?
[06:04] Hiyori
    Why did it turn out like this?
[06:08] Unida
    By the way, did you guys
    get to see Kirishima Ikuya?
[06:12] Asahi
    Huh?
[06:13] Unida
    He was your buddy in middle school, right?
[06:15] Asahi
    No, we missed him.
[06:18] Inada
    Well, Kirishima's going for the global level.
[06:21] Kiryuu
    He's in a slump, though, isn't he?
[06:23] Unida
    He is?
[06:24] Suzuki
    I'm in a slump, too! My
    time just won't improve!
[06:27] Mikoshiba
    Only athletes who once reached
    the peak can fall into slumps.
[06:32] Mikoshiba
    You're just not working hard enough, Suzuki.
[06:35] Suzuki
    S-Sorry!
[06:37] Mikoshiba
    There's not much time left until
    the college championships.
[06:40] Mikohsiba
    We have to use that time to the fullest
[06:42] Mikoshiba
    and work for victory together!
[06:44] All
    Right!
[06:46] Unida
    I really hope we win the
    college championships.
[06:49] Kiryuu
    And then what? The All-Japan Invitational?
[06:51] Asahi
    I'd love that, but from where I am
    now, it's gonna be a close shave...
[06:56] Suzuki
    Should you say that about yourself?
[06:58] Asahi
    But I'm gonna stake everything
    on that close shave!
[07:02] Unida
    You have been working
    really hard lately, Asahi.
[07:05] Asahi
    Better believe it!
[07:07] Asahi
    My goal is the global stage!
[07:09] ---
    I'll be practicing more after this, too!
[07:11] Kiryuu
    Well, I don't know how far I'll make it,
[07:15] Kiryuu
    but all I can do is give my
    all for the next four years.
[07:17] Kiryuu
    It's been my dream to swim at the
    global level since I was a kid.
[07:22] Haru
    Dream...
[07:24] Unida
    What about you, Nanase?
[07:26] Unida
    Was it your dream to swim
    at the global level, too?
[07:31] Haru
    I...
[07:33] Haru
    lived in a little town called Iwatobi,
[07:36] Haru
    and I just loved the water.
[07:39] Haru
    I only swam free.
[07:42] Haru
    In elementary school, I met my teammates
[07:46] Haru
    and learned how fun it is to swim in relays.
[07:49] Haru
    I met new teammates in middle
    school and high school,
[07:53] Haru
    and had all kinds of new experiences,
[07:55] Haru
    and now, I'm in Tokyo, still swimming.
[08:00] Haru
    I feel like I've come a really long way.
[08:04] Haru
    If you asked me what lies ahead of me now...
[08:08] Haru
    I...
[08:14] Higashi
    Nanase, your weakness lies in your mentality.
[08:18] Higashi
    But that can be a strength, too.
[08:20] Higashi
    For an athlete, mental
    fortitude is essential.
[08:24] Higashi
    Your mental fortitude determines
    the results you produce.
[08:27] Higashi
    You can still get much stronger.
[08:31] Higashi
    That's my animal instinct talking.

    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

[09:40] ---
    are you sure you're doing okay?

    I'm fine.

    have to win.

[10:18] Nao
    Sorry. Did you wait long?
[10:20] Natsuya
    Nah, just got here...

    as they say!
[10:29] Nao
    It's really been a while, huh?
[10:31] Natsuya
    Yeah.

    It's the first time I've seen you
    since we reached drinking age.

    No, not yet.

    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.

[18:56] Asahi
    ge... ni—
[19:02] Asahi
    Ikuya...
[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?
[21:45] Kisumi
    Haru!
[21:46] Higashi
    Now, let's see the results
    of your extra training.
[21:55] Voice
    Take your marks.
[21:59] All
    Go!
[22:04] Rei
    Haruka-senpai has evolved!
[22:06] Nagisa
    And reflected in his eyes is...
[22:07] Rei
    Next time: "Metamorphosis of the Soul!"
SIGN    Episode 8: Metamorphosis of the Soul!
[22:09] Nagisa
    Those feelings, that bond...
    It's all for his friends!
