[00:04] Guy
    Whoa, nice attack!
[00:06] Guy
    He didn't stand a chance!
[00:07] Guy
    He broke his guard with an overhead attack!
[00:08] Isuzu
    Yes! Now!
[00:14] Isuzu
    All right!
[00:16] Guy
    You're still the best, Mikoshiba.
[00:18] Isuzu
    Better believe it!
[00:20] Isuzu
    Swimming and fighting games
    are the two things I live for!
[00:27] Isuzu
    Oh-ho? Who do we have now?
[00:30] Isuzu
    Mikoshiba Isuzu will take good care of you.
[00:37] Guy
    A foreigner?
[00:38] Guy
    He's been playing the racing
    games like a pro lately.
[00:41] Guy
    Don't get too careless, Mikoshiba.
[00:44] Isuzu
    Did you forget how much of my pocket
    change I've sunk into this game?
[00:49] Isuzu
    Don't underestimate me!
[00:50] Isuzu
    Here we go, partner!
[00:59] Guy
    He's blocking all your hits!
[01:01] Guy
    That's nice maneuvering...
[01:03] Isuzu
    He's just darting all over the place!
[01:04] Isuzu
    Well, then, I'll just have
    to finish this quick!
[01:16] Isuzu
    No way!
[01:27] Isuzu
    I-I'm just getting started!
[01:29] Ralph
    Al, we gotta go.
[01:32] Al
    Aw, man. It was just getting interesting.
[01:36] Isuzu
    Hey, wait!
[01:44] Isuzu
    I think...
[01:46] Isuzu
    I've seen him somewhere before...

    Yeah, I just got to the airport.
[03:26] Rin
    Let Mom know for me.
[03:29] Rin

[03:41] Asahi
    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.

[05:58] Guy
    That's him, right? The
    first-year from Taka U.
[06:01] Guy
    Yeah. Nanase Haruka, freestyle swimmer.
[06:05] Mikoshiba
    I see you're focusing on
    freestyle in today's practice.
[06:08] Mikoshiba
    Not doing the IM anymore?
[06:10] Haru
    That's right. Free makes me
    feel closest to the water.
[06:15] Mikoshiba
    I should've known you'd stick to free!
[06:17] Mikoshiba
    That's typical you.
[06:18] Coach
    Mikoshiba, Nanase! Got a minute?
[06:22] Coach
    This is the Taka U High School swim team.

    She's my sister.
[06:41] Isuzu
    We're here to observe your
    practice and learn from you.
[06:45] All

[06:48] Kiryuu
    So his sister swims, too?
[06:50] Haruka
    Yeah...
[06:55] Isuzu
    Nanase Haruka-san!
[06:57] Isuzu
    I saw you swim in the college championships.
[07:00] Isuzu
    Your swimming is amazing,
    and so are your triceps!
[07:04] Isuzu
    I aspire to swim just like you do!
[07:07] Isuzu
    Please have a freestyle race with me!
[07:11] Kiryuu
    Come on, Nanase. Race her.
[07:14] Kiryuu
    I've never heard of a girl
    challenging a guy, but still...
[07:18] Isuzu
    Sex makes no difference in a competition!
[07:20] Isuzu
    I can even beat the guys in my own club!
[07:24] Isuzu
    So Nanase-san, please have a
    freestyle race with me right n—
[07:28] Mikoshiba
    If you want a race that badly, I'll race you.
[07:32] Isuzu
    Huh?!
[07:33] Mikoshiba
    How about 1500m freestyle? It'll be fun!
[07:37] Isuzu
    Ugh, Nii-chan, you jerk!
[07:42] Isuzu
    Nanase-san! Please race me someday, okay?!
[07:47] Kiryuu
    She's an interesting kid...

    All right, we'll break for lunch now.

[08:40] Staff
    Enjoy.

    Let's eat.
[09:00] Haru
    One sec.
[09:13] Haru
    Impressive...
[09:16] Al
    This is good!
[09:21] Haru
    Glad to hear it.

    Albert...
[09:28] Al
    Ralph, what's wrong?
[09:30] Ralph
    What do you mean?
[09:31] ---
    You always disappear on me.
[09:34] Ralph
    Let's go.
[09:36] Al
    Thanks. See ya later.
[09:39] Haru
    Sure.
[09:43] Isuzu
    Nii-chan's training just about killed me!
[09:47] Isuzu
    Huh?
[09:49] Huh
    The guy from the arcade!
[09:51] Isuzu
    What's he doing here?
[09:54] Isuzu
    Now I remember!

SIGN    Offerings
[10:06] Nagisa
    So, the regional tournament
    finally starts tomorrow.
[10:09] Romio
    Yeah! And we all get to do
    the medley relay together!
[10:13] Romio
    I'm really psyched!
[10:14] Nagisa
    Yeah! I am, too.
[10:17] Shizuru
    Your exchanges have improved, Romio.
[10:19] Romio
    All thanks to Captain Rei!
[10:21] Rei
    No, you have your own strength to thank.
[10:24] Rei
    Besides, the reason Nagisa-kun and
    I won in our individual events
[10:28] Rei
    was because we had you, Romio-kun,
    Shizuru-kun, and of course, Nagisa-kun...
[10:32] Rei
    And Gou-san and Ayumu-san, too.
[10:34] Rei
    It's because we all worked hard together
[10:36] Rei
    that the Iwatobi High School
    Swim Club made it this far.
[10:39] Nagisa
    And for the two of us, this
    is our last summer here.
[10:45] Rei
    The time that's passed since you
    invited me to join the Swim Club
[10:48] Rei
    really flew by in a heartbeat.
[10:50] Nagisa
    Yeah.
[10:52] Rei
    But it's not over yet!
[10:55] Rei
    We have to go to the nationals!
[10:58] Rei
    To Tokyo, where Haruka-senpai
    and the rest are!
[11:01] Rei
    The regionals are just a checkpoint for us.
[11:04] Rei
    What we're aiming for is beyond that!
[11:06] Rei
    Haruka-senpai and the other guys are aiming
    even higher in the world, after all!
[11:11] Shizuru
    The world...
[11:13] Rei
    That's right!
[11:14] Rei
    Our bodies and minds are still evolving.
[11:17] Rei
    We can still aim higher, for the
    nationals, and even for the world!
[11:22] Nagisa
    And you were the one who said,
    "Humans evolved to live on land."
[11:29] Gou
    You've evolved more than anyone, Rei-kun.
[11:32] Ayumu
    Um, I also
[11:34] Ayumu
    want to go to the nationals.
[11:36] Romio
    I want to be in a tournament
[11:38] Romio
    in Tokyo, my second home, now
    that I've grown and improved!
[11:42] Shizuru
    I want to eat Tokyo seafood.
[11:44] Shizuru
    Authentic local tsukudani, too.
[11:45] Ayumu
    That sounds delicious.
[11:47] Nagisa
    There are lots of things I want to eat, too!
[11:50] Nagisa
    Like a concrete jungle parfait!
[11:52] Shizuru
    Or a chocolate fatty tuna parfait.
[11:52] Rei
    Dreams...
[11:54] Romio
    I'm not sure I'd want that...
[11:54] Rei
    I wonder where I'll be next
    year, and what I'll be doing...
[11:56] Ayumu
    It would definitely be very fatty.
[11:58] Gou
    Hey, we're not going there
    to play around, you know.
[12:10] Ikuya
    He's cute.
[12:12] Ikuya
    I was the youngest in my family, so
    I always wanted a little brother.
[12:14] Akane
    Oh, you're welcome to take
    my little brother, then.
[12:20] Asahi
    Why're you making that face?!
[12:22] Ikuya
    No reason.
[12:24] Akane
    Great job at the tournament today!
[12:26] Asahi
    This looks so good!
[12:28] Makoto
    Well, once again...
[12:30] Makoto
    Congratulations, Ikuya, on beating the base
    time in the 100m free and 100m breast!
[12:34] Makoto
    Cheers!
[12:35] All
    Cheers!
[12:37] Ikuya
    Thanks, guys.
[12:39] Ikuya
    You did great too, Asahi.
[12:41] Asahi
    It sucks that I lost,
[12:42] Asahi
    but more than that, I'm happy that you
    got to swim freestyle in your own way.
[12:47] Ikuya
    Yeah...
[12:48] Asahi
    But you know what?
[12:49] ---
    I'm gonna win next time, so be ready!
[12:53] Ikuya
    You said that a lot in seventh grade, too.
[12:56] Asahi
    Shut up!
[12:57] Makoto
    You did beat the base time
    in the 200m butterfly.
[13:01] ---
    That's amazing, too.
[13:02] Asahi
    Well, the butterfly and I are synonymous.
[13:04] Makoto
    I guess Natsuya-senpai swam
    too, didn't he? In the IM.
[13:08] Ikuya
    Yeah...
[13:09] Hiyori
    I heard from Natsuya-kun
    that he beat the base time.
[13:12] Asahi
    Wow...
[13:13] Ikuya
    He'll be my rival now.
[13:15] Asahi
    Brother against brother in
    the IM, huh? That's awesome!
[13:19] Kisumi
    Sorry I'm late.
[13:22] Kisumi
    How was the race, Asahi?
[13:24] Hiyori
    Ikuya kicked his butt in freestyle.
[13:27] Asahi
    Don't be so emphatic on that part!
[13:29] Kisumi
    So the ones going to the
    All-Japan for freestyle
[13:31] Kisumi
    will be Asahi and Toono-kun
    in the 50m, Ikuya in the 100m,
[13:35] Kisumi
    and Haru in the 100m and 200m?
[13:37] Kisumi
    Makoto, do you know how Rin did?
[13:39] Makoto
    He messaged me the other day.
[13:41] Makoto
    He beat the base time in the 100m
    butterfly and the 100m freestyle.
[13:45] Kisumi
    Wow, the 100m freestyle's
    gonna be quite a battle, huh?
[13:48] Asahi
    Rin... Is that the guy you and Haru
    swam with at Iwatobi Elementary?
[13:52] Asahi
    Matsuoka Rin, was it?
[13:53] Makoto
    Yeah.
[13:54] Makoto
    He swam with me, Haru, and Nagisa
    in our first medley relay.
[13:59] Ikuya
    Matsuoka Rin...
[14:01] Hiyori
    He went to high school at
    Samezuka Academy, didn't he?
[14:04] Makoto
    Yeah.
[14:05] Makoto
    Now he's going to school in Australia
[14:08] Makoto
    and swimming with a club team in Sydney.
[14:10] Kisumi
    Rin and Haru are good rivals, huh?
[14:13] Asahi
    Aren't they having friendly races
    today at Haru's training camp?
[14:17] Asahi
    You gonna go cheer him on, Makoto?
[14:19] Makoto
    Yep, as soon as I'm off work tonight.
[14:22] Hiyori
    Sure you can get there in time?
[14:23] Makoto
    It'll be close.
[14:25] Makoto
    Either way, I know Haru will do just fine.
[14:30] Girl
    Go on and find happiness with
    someone much better than me!
[14:34] Girl
    That's what you need to do. It's fate!
[14:35] Uozumi
    Why do they have to break up?
[14:37] Misawa
    Women are such fickle creatures...
[14:38] Girl
    This is how it has to be!
[14:41] Nitori
    That's so cliché.
[14:42] Momo
    I bet if Rin-senpai were
    here, he'd be bawli—
[14:45] Rin
    Like hell.
[14:47] Rin
    'Sup, guys?
[14:49] Nitori/Momo
    Rin-senpai!
[14:50] Uozumi/Misawa
    Hey!
[14:51] Rin
    Hey. How've you guys been?
[14:53] Misawa
    I thought you were in Sydney!
[14:55] Rin
    My plans got bumped up a bit.
[14:57] Nitori
    You're going to be in the
    All-Japan Invitational, right?
[15:00] Nitori
    My uncle told me!
[15:01] Uozumi
    Your uncle?
[15:03] Nitori
    Yeah. Uncle Mikhail.
[15:05] Rin
    Huh?
[15:07] Nitori
    Mikhail Makarovich-Nitori.
[15:09] Uozumi
    What?! Are you serious?!
[15:11] Misawa
    You're Russian, Nitori?!
[15:13] Nitori
    No, he's just a relative of my mom's.
[15:16] Momo
    You're amazing, Ai-senpai! So global!
[15:19] Rin
    Never saw that coming...
[15:22] Rin
    Well, Mikhail's coaching me now.
[15:24] Nitori
    I know!
[15:26] Nitori
    He emailed me saying your muscles
    are the kind he only sees
[15:29] ---
    once in thirty years! He was so happy!
[15:33] Rin
    He's a great coach, but then there's that...
[15:35] Momo
    Hey, Rin-senpai!
[15:37] ---
    We're gonna be in the regionals
    for the medley relay!
[15:40] Rin
    Hey, that's awesome. Congrats.
[15:43] Momo
    We wanted to let you know in
    person instead of in a message!
[15:48] Rin
    The way you guys are now, you could
    make it to the nationals for sure.
[15:51] Rin
    Keep working hard and don't slack off.
[15:53] All
    Right!
[15:56] Nitori
    Um, Rin-senpai...
[15:58] Nitori
    Can we talk for a minute?
[16:01] Nitori
    It's about Sousuke-senpai.
[16:04] Nitori
    We heard he's in Tokyo right now,
[16:09] Nitori
    and we wondered if it might be to
    have surgery on his shoulder...
[16:12] Nitori
    Just thinking about it worries me.
[16:16] Momo
    What do you think, Rin-senpai?
[16:20] Rin
    Well...
[16:22] Rin
    He's walking the path he
    feels is right for him.
[16:25] Rin
    I know he'll be fine.
[16:29] Rin
    So you guys don't need to worry.
[16:33] Rin
    Just focus on your own competition.
[16:36] Both
    Okay!
[16:41] Rin
    I'm home.
[16:43] Mom
    Welcome back, Rin!
[16:44] Gou
    Onii-chan!
[16:45] Gou
    Welcome back!
[16:47] Rin
    Thanks.
[16:49] Rin
    Wow, check this out!
[16:52] Mom
    I might have made a bit too much.
[16:54] Mom
    It'll be ready soon.
[16:56] Rin
    Okay, thanks.
[16:57] Rin
    Hey, Steve! How've you been?
[17:08] TV
    The swimmer I remember most from
    that time is Mikhail Makarovich.
[17:13] TV
    His swimming was really powerful.
[17:17] Rin
    Mikhail?
[17:19] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Rin-kun, we won't be apart for too long.
[17:22] (Flashback) Mikhail
    I'll be in Japan by the time of
    the All-Japan Invitational, too.
[17:26] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Get over there and hustle
    with the locals until then.
[17:30] (Flashback) Rin
    Okay, I will. Take care, Coach.
[17:33] (Flashback) Mikhail
    No worries there. One bit of
    information for you, though...
[17:36] (Flashback) Rin
    Information?
[17:38] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Apparently Albert Wåhlander
    is in Japan right now.
[17:42] (Flashback) Rin
    Albert? That Albert?
[17:44] (Flashback) Mikhail
    Yep. You should be careful of him.
[17:49] (Flashback) Rin
    What do you mean by that?
[17:52] (Flashback) Mikhail
    His swimming is...
[17:54] (Flashback) Mikhail
    not of this world.
[17:57] TV
    And of course, the powerhouse swimmer
    who was active in Mikhail's time
[18:01] TV
    was "Fully Built Ryuuji," Azuma Ryuuji.

    Misaki-kun!
[19:55] Makoto
    You're burning up.
[19:57] Misaki
    I'm fine.
[19:58] ---
    I just got a little dizzy.
[20:00] Makoto
    You need to take it easy.
[20:02] Makoto

[20:05] Guy

[20:08] Guy
    Participants, please get ready.
[20:13] Albert
    Let's do this.
[20:17] Makoto
    You know you shouldn't come
    to practice when you're sick.
[20:21] Misaki
    I'm sorry.
[20:23] Makoto
    Is there some reason why you came?
[20:26] Misaki
    The junior swim meet is coming up,
[20:28] Misaki

    We made a promise to meet
    again at a swim meet!
[20:40] Misaki
    His name's Natsume Kaoru.
[20:43] Misaki
    He's usually quiet, but in the
    water, it's like he's on fire.
[20:47] Misaki
    And he was really fast at freestyle...
[20:51] Misaki
    I was never able to beat him once,
[20:55] Misaki
    so I want to win next time.
[20:58] Makoto
    I get it.
[20:59] ---
    But you shouldn't overdo it.
[21:02] Makoto
    You need to look after your health first.
[21:04] Makoto
    I'll help you out from there.
[21:06] Makoto
    Okay?
[21:08] Misaki
    Yeah.
[21:10] Misaki
