Elena, I'm so glad we got
into the same school.
**[04:46] aya**
You're actually pretty smart, Elena.
**[04:48] ele**
What do you mean, "actually?"
**[04:53] ele**
But I'm seriously lacking
in prospects here...
**[04:57] aya**
Yeah...
**[04:58] ele**
I thought you weren't
interested in boys, Ayano.
**[05:02] aya**
I'm happy enough just
being in class with you.
**[05:07] ele**
Sheesh. Now that we're in high school,
you need to be a little more independent—
**[05:10] nori**
Excuse me.
**[05:11] nori**
It was Fujisawa-san and
Hanesaki-san, wasn't it?
**[05:15] nori**
My name is Miyura Noriko.
**[05:18] ele**
Nice to meet you.
**[05:19] nori**
Did you two come from the same middle school?
**[05:22] ele**
I wish it was just that. We've been
in the same class since kindergarten.
**[05:25] ele**
I'm sick to death of it.
**[05:26] aya**
Hey, don't be like that...
**[05:29] nori**
Have you chosen your club yet?
**[05:32] ele**
I might not join a club.
**[05:34] ele**
There's nothing I especially want to do.
**[05:36] aya**
Same here.
**[05:37] nori**
Why don't you join the tennis club?
**[05:40] ele**
I've never played before. So it would
be a little weird to start now...
**[05:45] nori**
Second-year in the boys' tennis
club, Saionji Akifumi.
**[05:49] nori**
Not only did he represent the
prefecture as a first-year last year,
**[05:52] nori**
but he's so attractive, he's already
signed with a big talent agency.
**[05:55] nori**
And he's in the top 100 in
the national mock exams.
**[05:57] nori**
What's the point of being female if
you can't land someone like that?
**[06:02] nori**
Right?
**[06:04] ele**
You're a lot more man-hungry
than you look...
**[06:07] nori**
What do you think, Hanesaki-san?
**[06:09] aya**
What about you, Elena?
**[06:11] ele**
I keep saying, you should do
something that's more "you."

There's a badminton club, right?
**[06:21] nori**
I'd advise against that.
**[06:24] ele**
Why?
**[06:26] nori**
They're apparently being terrorized...
**[06:29] ara**
Hey, pick that up!
**[06:31] nori**
...by their team captain, Aragaki.
**[06:33] ara**
Next!
**[06:37] ara**
What the hell is wrong with you?!
**[06:39] ara**
Get up! You can't improve
if you're laying on the floor.
**[06:48] ara**
You're not especially talented, after all.
**[06:58] ha**
She's as strict as ever.
**[07:01] ha**
Gaku, let's play a rally.
**[07:05] yu**
This is going too far.
**[07:08] yu**
Don't you agree, Riko?
**[07:10] girl**
Hey...
**[07:12] ri**
Yes?
**[07:13] girl**
I think we might check
out some other clubs...
**[07:16] ri**
You don't want to watch a little longer?
**[07:18] ri**
We're about to have a demonstration match.
**[07:20] girl**
We just don't have much time.
**[07:22] girl**
Same here.
**[07:23] girl**
Thanks for having us, though!
**[07:29] boy**
That scared the hell out of me!
**[07:33] bi**
Aragaki-san is so desperate
to make the team better.
**[07:37] bi**
I wish I could be a better advisor,
**[07:39] bi**
but I'm such a coward, and I know
so little about badminton.
**[07:42] bi**
Aragaki-san ends up shouldering
all the burden...
**[07:45] ri**
No, I'm sure that's not all—
**[07:47] bi**
But leave it all to me!
**[07:49] bi**
I've employed a secret weapon!
**[07:51] ri**
A secret weapon?
**[07:52] bi**
Yep! Just you wait and see!
**[08:02] ri**
Game and set to Saionji.
**[08:12] ri**
Saionji-senpai!

Have a towel.
**[08:16] ri**
Have a drink.
**[08:17] ri**
You did so great!
**[08:20] ele**
He's like an idol.
**[08:21] nori**
Isn't it exciting?
**[08:24] nori**
Saionji-senpai!
**[08:27] boy**
Our captain lost to a
second-year in a love game.
**[08:30] boy**
Sucks to be him.
**[08:32] boy**
But Saionji's just that much better.
**[08:35] boy**
Makes me wonder why
I even bother with tennis.

About what?

About Nagisa, of course!

That practice... She was just

Don't be like that.

Come on, guys! Calm down a little!

You shut up.

Still, there's only so

You've been a little too hard
on them lately, haven't you?

We're not getting any new club members.
We might even lose the ones we have...
**[10:47] ara**
Did someone say something?
**[10:51] ara**
If we want to win, we have to practice.
**[10:54] ara**
We're not natural talents.
**[10:56] ara**
We have to put the effort in.
**[10:59] ri**
I know, but...
**[11:00] ara**
It's true!
**[11:03] ara**
I'm going to beat her.
**[11:06] ara**
If I can't, then what's the point?
**[11:17] ara**
I'm going to string my racket.

Sorry I'm late!

Took you long enough.

Sorry!

I need you to stick with me all day.

Nothing. Sorry.

Nah.

Hey, are you really gonna
join the tennis club?

Why not? There were plenty

Wanna come along?

What kind of example are you
setting for the underclassmen?
**[12:55] yu**
Stop taking your anger out on me.
**[13:04] ara**
What is that supposed to mean?
**[13:10] yu**
I think you already know.
**[13:14] ri**
Hey, wait a minute...
**[13:21] ara**
If you don't care about getting better,
**[13:25] ara**
just quit.
**[13:30] yu**
I can't do this anymore.
**[13:32] ri**
Yuka! Wait!

Wow, they're not looking good at all.
**[13:38] shi**
I know that!
**[13:42] ha**
What's with her?
**[13:45] ha**
Talk about taking your
anger out on someone...
**[13:56] riko**
Nagisa, are you sure about this?
**[13:58] ara**
Anyone who won't put
in the work should quit.
**[14:01] ara**
If they're not cut out for badminton...
**[14:07] riko**
We can't all do this like you can, Nagisa.
**[14:14] ara**
Does that go for you, too?
**[14:16] ara**
If that's how you feel, Riko...
**[14:20] ara**
You should quit, too.
**[14:53] boy**
Hey, looking good!
**[14:56] girl**
Saionji-senpai!

He's so super hot!

Hey! He can hear you!

Now that's a beautiful sight!

Oh, sorry!

Hey, let's quit already...

How come? It's fun!

Wow, you're good at this.

What's she doing here?

Why is she playing tennis?

If that's what you want, I'll get serious.

Okay!

Huh?

Sorry about that.

Th-Thanks.

Y-You got the wrong idea!

A-Are you left-handed?

What the hell kind of question is that?
**[17:17] ele**
Some kind of new pick-up line?
**[17:19] man**
No, please, hear me out.
**[17:21] ele**
This is not appropriate
behavior for a teacher!
**[17:24] ele**
I'll report you to the board of education!
**[17:25] man**
I'm not a teacher, though!
**[17:28] ele**
Then that's even worse!
**[17:30] ele**
I'm calling the police, you big, weird perv!
**[17:31] man**
It's not like that!
**[17:34] man**
Could I convince you to
join the badminton club?
**[17:45] man**
You used to play badminton, didn't you?
**[17:49] man**
You have a healed-over blister on
the base of your left ring finger.
**[17:52] man**
Hey! You!
**[17:57] ele**
Ayano...
**[18:27] ara**
When I lost that match,
**[18:29] ara**
I felt like the world was rejecting me.
**[18:33] ara**
That all the badminton I'd played...
**[18:37] ara**
That all my efforts...
**[18:38] ara**
They were all for nothing.
**[18:40] ara**
And I didn't want to accept it.
**[18:43] ara**
I thought I just needed to practice more.
**[18:47] ara**
That's why I said all that
high-and-mighty stuff.
**[18:52] ara**
But when I looked at that girl...
**[18:57] ara**
I felt so scared...
**[19:05] ara**
I'm the one who's not cut out for this.
**[19:11] ara**
I...
**[19:13] riko**
It's okay.
**[19:15] ara**
I blame other people...
**[19:18] ara**
...for the things I can't do.
**[19:23] riko**
It's okay, really.

Three, four, five, six!

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
**[20:17] bi**
Okay, everyone! Come over here a minute!
**[20:21] bi**
I'm about to introduce my secret weapon!
**[20:25] riko**
Secret weapon? The one
you mentioned yesterday?
**[20:29] riko**
Okay, come on in!
**[20:37] riko**
The future criminal.
**[20:38] tachi**
I am not!
**[20:41] tachi**
I'm Tachibana Kentaro. Nice to meet you.
**[20:43] bi**
Tachibana-kun here is a
badminton club alumnus!
**[20:47] bi**
He's even played in the Olympics!
**[20:50] nagi**
The Olympics?
**[20:52] gaku**
I've never heard of you before, though.
**[20:54] tachi**
To be precise, I didn't actually play.
**[20:57] tachi**
I was selected to play,
**[20:59] tachi**
but I blew out my knee and had to quit.
**[21:05] tachi**
But I'm going to bounce back
from that failure by producing,
**[21:07] tachi**
here at Kitakomachi High
School's badminton club,
**[21:11] tachi**
a gold medalist!
**[21:15] nagi**
A gold medalist in what?
**[21:18] tachi**
What do you think? The Olympics!
**[21:21] ha**
The Olympics?
**[21:22] tachi**
Although I must admit,
your club looks pretty small...
**[21:25] aya**
Stop it!
**[21:27] ele**
Just come along!
**[21:29] ele**
No!
**[21:32] ele**
Come on!
**[21:34] ele**
Hello there!
**[21:37] ele**
Hurry up! You're doing this!
**[21:39] tachi**
You're...
**[21:42] aya**
Elena... Why?
**[21:45] ele**
I really think you should
be playing badminton.
**[21:51] ele**
I mean...
**[21:52] ele**
You're crazy talented!
**[21:56] ele**
If you keep running away,
you'll never move forward.
**[22:04] tachi**
That's right. You have talent!
**[22:06] ele**
The pervert!
**[22:08] tachi**
I am not! I'm the coach here!
**[22:11] tachi**
Anyway, the spring in your legs,
**[22:14] tachi**
your kinetic vision,
**[22:16] tachi**
the suppleness of your wrist,
**[22:18] tachi**
and the fact that you're left-handed...
**[22:20] tachi**
You have all the natural elements
that can't be won through effort.
**[22:23] tachi**
You should definitely be playing badminton.
**[22:26] aya**
Please stop.
**[22:29] aya**
I'm not going to change my mind.
**[22:31] ele**
Why don't we have a match, then?
**[22:33] aya**
A match?
**[22:34] ele**
You know, that thing they do!
**[22:36] ele**
"If I lose, I'll give up on you. If I win,
you'll join the club!" Like that.
**[22:42] nagi**
Like in a shonen manga?
**[22:44] ha**
Yeah.
**[22:45] ele**
So, who's the best person in the club?
**[22:51] ele**
No one?
**[22:52] ele**
You do seem like a small club...
Don't you want a new player?
**[22:57] ele**
Oh? Are you afraid of losing?
**[23:01] ele**
I mean, she is pretty good,
and she's only a first-year...
**[23:03] aya**
Stop it! I don't want to play badminton!
**[23:07] aya**
It's pointless!
**[23:09] tachi**
Come on.
**[23:10] tachi**
You have so much talent, you could
be world-class if you tried!
**[23:14] aya**
But it's just a sport, right?
**[23:16] tachi**
Hey, don't be like that...
**[23:19] aya**
So playing badminton in a club is pointless.
**[23:26] riko**
It's not pointless at all!
**[23:29] riko**
It's not pointless...
**[23:34] riko**
Working your fingers to the bone...
**[23:38] riko**
Wanting so badly to win!
**[23:42] riko**
It's not pointless at all...
**[23:45] aya**
You don't have to get so mad...
**[23:46] ara**
Let's play.
**[23:51] ara**
You and me.
**[23:53] ara**
Let's play!

**[04:28] hay**
So, how many is that now?
**[04:32] shi**
That's the fifth, I think?
**[04:34] ri**
Last one!
**[04:38] ri**
Great job.
**[04:40] ri**
You've even got me tired out.
**[04:43] ara**
One more set, please.
**[04:47] ri**
You should probably lay off...
**[04:49] ara**
I...
**[04:53] ara**
I need more practice.
**[04:55] ara**
I need to get better if I want to...
**[04:58] tachi**
Heya!
**[05:01] all**
Welcome!
**[05:05] [SONG] sign**
Today's schedule:
Running
Dashes
Footwork
Basic Shots
Smashes
**[05:06] tachi**
How far have you gotten?
**[05:08] ara**
We're about to start practice matches.
**[05:11] tachi**
Okay, on court A, let's have
the elder Isehara and Hayama.
**[05:15] tachi**
On court B... Aragaki and Hanesaki.
**[05:19] tachi**
Okay. And the rest of you...
**[05:21] aya**
I'll pass.
**[05:23] aya**
Since I only just joined...
**[05:29] tachi**
Why did you quit?
**[05:32] tachi**
Why did you quit playing badminton?
**[05:38] tachi**
You have naturally flexible wrists.
**[05:41] tachi**
You're left-handed, which
is an enormous advantage.
**[05:44] tachi**
You have real talent!
**[05:46] tachi**
We'll crush the Inter-High.
**[05:48] tachi**
We'll crush the nationals.
**[05:51] tachi**
We'll dominate the world tournament!
**[05:53] tachi**
And then...
**[05:55] tachi**
And then, the Olympics—
**[05:58] ele**
I told you not to touch her!
**[06:01] aya**
Elena!
**[06:04] el**
But you still need to play badminton.
**[06:08] aya**
How come?
**[06:10] el**
Because you're talented.
**[06:14] aya**
No, I'm not...
**[06:15] aya**
I don't even want to do it.
**[06:17] ---**
Ow...
**[06:20] tachi**
Izumi.
**[06:21] ri**
Yes?
**[06:22] tachi**
For today, you can play Aragaki.
**[06:25] ara**
This is so stupid.
**[06:27] ara**
Let's get started.
**[06:29] ara**
Okay.
**[06:45] sora**
21-15.
**[06:47] sora**
Match won by Isehara.
**[07:14] ara**
Yu!
**[07:16] ara**
Don't get distracted!
**[07:17] yu**
S-Sorry!
**[07:19] ara**
Wrong one!
**[07:23] mi**
I think losing to Hanesaki-san at the junior
nationals really threw Aragaki-san off.
**[07:43] ara**
*Everything I've done hasn't been in vain.*
**[07:46] ara**
*I have my smash.*
**[07:49] ara**
*I need to use my smash to...*
**[07:53] ri**
*I've got it!*
**[07:54] ri**
*I can...*
**[07:57] shi**
21-19!
**[07:59] shi**
Match won by Aragaki-senpai!
**[08:02] riko**
Darn. I got so close to
beating you, Nagisa...
**[08:21] tachi**
This is going to be tricky.
**[08:25] yu**
Sora-chan, why do you think that
Ayano girl is so unenthusiastic?
**[08:30] sora**
I dunno... But she's really good
at it, even if she's doesn't care.
**[08:35] sora**
It must be nice to be talented.
**[08:37] yu**
You and your brother are talented, too...
**[08:41] sora**
We're really not.
**[08:43] sora**
Well, bye.
**[08:45] yu**
See you tomorrow!
**[08:50] tomo**
Yu!
**[08:59] yu**
Down the hatch!
**[09:02] tomo**
Look at you, packing it in...
**[09:05] yu**
I always get hungry around this time!
**[09:08] yu**
Meat's the best after a workout!
**[09:17] yuka**
So, how's it going?
**[09:20] yuka**
Is she still on a rampage?
**[09:23] ---**
**[09:25] megu**
You must be having a pretty
awful time, either way.
**[09:28] yu**
I wouldn't say that.
**[09:29] yu**
But her own slump seems
to be... getting worse?
**[09:34] megu**
Serves her right.
**[09:36] tomo**
It's what she deserves for taking
her anger out on you guys.
**[09:43] yu**
I can have it?
**[09:45] yuka**
It's not as if I've had a workout today.
**[09:47] yuka**
Let's go.
**[09:50] megu**
Bye-bye!
**[09:51] tomo**
See you, Yu.
**[09:53] shi**
See you around...
**[10:15] aya**
Ow!
**[10:18] tachi**
Come on, back on your feet.
**[10:23] ha**
The unstoppable force Aragaki and
the immovable object Hanesaki.
**[10:27] ha**
They should complement each
other perfectly, but...
**[10:30] ---**
Here it comes.
**[10:31] tachi**
They're just both so different...
**[10:44] yu**
Nice, Ayano-chan!
**[10:46] aya**
*I can match her!*
**[10:49] aya**
*Here it comes!*
**[10:50] aya**
*I need to get this one... I need to!*
**[10:53] aya**
Ow!
**[10:55] ri**
Are you okay?
**[10:56] ara**
What the hell is your problem?!
**[10:58] ara**
I was going to smash it!
Why'd you get in my way?!
**[11:02] aya**
You're the one who crashed into me.
**[11:04] ara**
What?!
**[11:05] tachi**
Izumi, step in.
**[11:09] tachi**
No, Aragaki.
**[11:10] tachi**
You're the one switching out.
**[11:12] ara**
Why should I?
**[11:13] tachi**
You're not looking around.
**[11:15] tachi**
And you're too fixated on your smashes.
**[11:19] tachi**
Step out and watch.
**[11:38] ri**
Take it!
**[11:44] tachi**
You see that, Aragaki?
**[11:47] tachi**
What you're lacking is the judgment
that Izumi showed just now.
**[11:53] ara**
Yeah, sounds about right.
**[11:55] ara**
In other words, I need to make
your favorite look good.
**[11:59] ara**
Right, Tachibana-san?
**[12:01] ara**
The only thing people without
talent are good for...
**[12:04] ara**
...is making people with talent look good.
**[12:13] (Flashback) ref**
21-10. Match won by Aragaki.
**[12:21] (Flashback) gir**
Wow! You even beat Takashi!
**[12:24] (Flashback) gir**
That jump smash was so cool!
**[12:28] (Flashback) boy**
That beanpole...
**[12:30] (Flashback) boy**
Don't worry about it, Takashi.
**[12:32] (Flashback) boy**
She's basically a guy anyway.
**[12:34] (Flashback) girl**
They're just jealous.
**[12:35] (Flashback) girl**
Yeah. Don't let it bug you.
**[12:40] (Flashback) girl**
But Nagisa-chan doesn't
really play fair, does she?
**[12:43] (Flashback) girl**
Yeah, she's so tall.
Of course she's gonna win.
**[12:48] ara**
* No matter how good I get, they just say,*
* "She wins because she's tall."*
**[12:54] ara**
*Even though I... I practice so much...*
**[13:02] aya**
I'm heading out.
**[13:04] ri**
Thanks for coming!
**[13:16] ri**
You shouldn't take it so hard.
**[13:19] ri**
It was just luck that my doubles
match with Ayano-chan went well.
**[13:23] ri**
I mean, you're so much better than I am.
**[13:29] ara**
You took it easy on me, didn't you?
**[13:32] ara**
During our practice match.
**[13:37] ara**
I don't see you denying it.
**[13:41] ri**
Go on ahead. I'll return the key.
**[13:44] yu**
Okay. Thanks a lot.
**[13:49] yu**
See you tomorrow!
**[14:01] yu**
Crud, it's become an addiction.
**[14:10] yu**
After a workout, you just gotta have meat.
**[14:18] yu**
I hope I can learn to do a great smash
like you some day, Senpai.
**[14:26] yu**
You're just out of your groove right now.
**[14:29] yu**
You're tall, and you're
way stronger than I am.
**[14:34] yu**
Once you're back in the groove,
Ayano-chan won't stand a chance!
**[14:39] (Flashback) girl**
But Nagisa-chan doesn't
really play fair, does she?
**[14:42] (Flashback) girl**
Yeah, she's so tall...
Of course she's gonna win!
**[14:46] yu**
Aragaki-senpai, you're just so
much more talented than I―
**[14:49] ara**
Shut up!
**[14:51] ara**
I don't rely on talent.
**[14:54] ara**
I...
**[15:01] ara**
Yuka...
**[15:02] yu**
Taking your anger out on the
underclassmen is an awful thing to do.
**[15:07] yu**
What are you even complaining about?
**[15:10] yu**
Quit whining already, and get back to work.
**[15:13] ara**
I don't want to hear that from a quitter.
**[15:17] tomo**
Y-Yuka...
**[15:22] yu**
*Not good. This is so not good...*
**[15:26] yu**
I envied you.
**[15:30] ara**
Look, I keep saying, I'm not talented—
**[15:32] yu**
I don't care about that.
**[15:35] yu**
What I envied...
**[15:38] yu**
...was your wholehearted love of badminton.
**[15:51] tachi**
Let's end with laps and stretches.
**[15:53] all**
Okay!
**[15:58] tachi**
Aragaki.
**[16:00] tachi**
Get on the court.
**[16:02] tachi**
Let's have a match, first to 21.
**[16:06] ara**
Why should I play someone like you—
**[16:08] tachi**
Afraid?
**[16:10] tachi**
You don't want to play
someone who can beat you.
**[16:14] ara**
You think I can't beat you?
**[16:16] tachi**
I don't really know.
**[16:19] tachi**
That's what we'll find out.
**[16:22] ara**
Don't underestimate me because I'm a girl.
**[16:27] ara**
*It stretched out more than I expected...*
**[16:34] ara**
*This guy's damn good...*
**[16:38] tachi**
7-Love.
**[16:40] tachi**
Oh, right... I heard you
got shut out last autumn.
**[16:45] tachi**
By a girl in middle school.
**[16:47] ara**
Shut up and serve already!
**[16:52] ara**
*Will it come short?*
**[16:54] ara**
*Or long?*
**[16:57] ara**
*A long serve!*
**[16:59] ara**
*A smash!*
**[17:00] ara**
* The best return would be*
* a cross-court drive...*
**[17:04] ara**
*It went to the middle...*
**[17:06] ara**
*But I made him return it underhanded.*
**[17:08] ara**
*I can attack from here!*
**[17:09] tachi**
*She failed to hit it cross-court...*
**[17:11] tachi**
* ...because she was worried about hitting*
* the net, and that slowed her judgment.*
**[17:15] tachi**
*That's a weak angle, too.*
**[17:19] tachi**
*She's too concerned with control.*
**[17:21] tachi**
*She's not following through all the way.*
**[17:24] tachi**
* I'm starting to see where*
* her slump's coming from...*
**[17:28] ara**
*He returned it again.*
**[17:30] ara**
*I need to place my shots.*
**[17:31] ara**
*Think about angles...*
**[17:33] ara**
*Why won't my smashes make it through?!*
**[17:41] ara**
*Damn!*
**[17:44] ara**
*He's intentionally...*
**[18:04] tachi**
I'm tall, too, so I get it.
**[18:07] tachi**
You think a jump smash from a high
vantage point is your greatest weapon.
**[18:13] tachi**
You've thought that ever
since you were a kid.
**[18:16] tachi**
I bet everyone around you said,
"She's only good because she's tall," right?
**[18:22] tachi**
But being tall makes you heavy,
**[18:26] tachi**
so you need to work out
your legs all the more,
**[18:28] tachi**
or you won't make contact.
**[18:36] tachi**
The reason you win is because
you work hard, right?
**[18:43] tachi**
It's okay if you hit the net.
**[18:45] tachi**
It's okay if your placement isn't perfect.
**[18:48] tachi**
Your smashes are really damn hard to return!
**[18:52] tachi**
It's okay to put faith in your smash.
**[18:58] tachi**
You love the hell out of
badminton, don't you?
**[19:03] tachi**
Come on. Let's keep going.
**[19:08] ara**
*What was I so unsure about?*
**[19:12] ara**
*I've trained more than anyone.*
**[19:14] ara**
*If they don't know that, I do!*
**[19:28] tachi**
Nice smash.
**[19:49] ara**
Everyone... I'm sorry!
**[19:51] ara**
A captain shouldn't be
thinking only about herself.
**[19:55] ara**
I really am sorry.
**[19:58] ri**
The Inter-High prelims are coming up, right?
**[20:01] ri**
I love this club, and I want to play
badminton with you as long as I can.
**[20:08] ri**
This'll be our last summer together!
**[20:10] ri**
Wouldn't it be awesome if we won?
**[20:17] ere**
Ah, the beauty of youth!
**[20:23] ara**
Let's see this through. No regrets!
**[20:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:35] ele**
Go on!
**[20:46] ara**
Let's go!
**[20:48] ara**
Kitakomachi... fight!
**[20:50] all**
Yeah!
**[20:54] ara**
Hanesaki.
**[20:56] ara**
I am going to beat you.
**[21:05] nagi**
I just can't stop myself.
**[21:08] tomo**
Yu!
**[21:14] tomo**
Hey, there. Practice went late today, huh?
**[21:17] yu**
Yeah, things got a little crazy...
**[21:20] yu**
What are you guys...
**[21:22] tomo**
Look, we weren't just out playing around!
**[21:26] tomo**
We were at cram school!
**[21:29] yu**
That's a first!
**[21:31] tomo**
You thought we were just slackers, huh?
**[21:38] yu**
To be honest, there's nothing
I can devote myself to right now...
**[21:42] yu**
But...
**[21:49] yu**
Meat tastes best right after
a mental workout, right?
**[21:54] yu**
Yeah.
**[21:55] yu**
Nice!
**[22:18] kao**
I love myself!
**[22:26] kao**
If I want to win, it's now or never!

Can you even *make* a bad medical drama?
**[00:54] (Flashback) ele**
Go on without me, okay?
**[00:58] (Flashback) ele**
Ayano... I heard you quit
the badminton club.
**[01:03] (Flashback) aya**
No one's good enough.
**[01:06] (Flashback) aya**
It's okay.
**[01:07] (Flashback) aya**
Mom said I should quit.
**[01:11] (Flashback) aya**
There's gonna be a girl called
Kaoruko on my new team.
**[01:15] (Flashback) aya**
She's really good! I can't wait!
**[01:35] (Flashback) ele**
Octo-octo...
**[01:48] (Flashback) ele**
Your mom left?
**[01:57] (Flashback) ele**
Ayano, you're trying for Kitakomachi, too?
**[01:59] (Flashback) aya**
Yeah. I wanna go to school with you, Elena.
**[02:05] (Flashback) ele**
You're not gonna play badminton anymore?
**[02:10] (Flashback) aya**
I think there's gotta be way
more fun stuff out there!
**[02:18] (Flashback) aya**
Elena... I'll be waiting outside, okay?
**[02:24] (Flashback) nori**
You two are pretty close, huh?
**[02:28] (Flashback) nori**
But wow! Did you see that
smash Ayano-san made before?
**[02:31] (Flashback) nori**
So amazing!
**[02:34] (Flashback) nori**
I actually squeed when I saw it!
**[02:37] (Flashback) ele**
Oh... really?
**[02:40] (Flashback) nori**
When I see stuff like that, I start
to think I could fall for a girlー
**[02:42] (Flashback) ele**
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
**[02:46] (Flashback) ele**
Sorry, Noriko.
**[02:47] (Flashback) ele**
I'm not joining the tennis club after all.
**[02:50] (Flashback) ele**
Ayano, come over here!
**[02:54] (Flashback) aya**
Wait, Elena!
**[03:02] (Flashback) aya**
Are you...
**[03:04] (Flashback) ele**
I really think you should
be playing badminton.
***SIGN*** #3 She Was Perfect
**[04:49] ele**
Morning!
**[04:53] ele**
Miyako-sensei said we have to have
them in by the end of the week.
**[04:57] aya**
But I haven't made up my mind yeｔ—
**[05:05] ele**
What's wrong, Noriko?
**[05:10] nori**
We'd planned to go to a movie.
And he just canceled...
**[05:14] ele**
Huh? I thought you were
after Saionji-senpai...
**[05:17] nori**
Yeah? The text is from him.
**[05:19] ele**
That's fast! You're dating already?
**[05:22] nori**
I was gonna tell him I liked him today...
**[05:25] nori**
I failed to seal the deal.
**[05:28] nori**
You two want to go instead?
**[05:30] nori**
I've got reserved seats...
**[05:32] ele**
No way!
**[05:33] ele**
We have club today, remember?
**[05:42] ara**
Keep it up, Yu!
**[05:43] ara**
Ten seconds left!
**[05:52] ara**
Okay!
**[05:53] ara**
Ten minute break!
**[05:55] ara**
Okay!
**[05:56] miy**
I think Aragaki-san's
turned over a new leaf.
**[05:59] tachi**
At that age, the smallest thing
can throw you off your game,
**[06:02] tachi**
but you can rocket back just as quickly.
**[06:05] tachi**
I remember those days myself.
**[06:08] miya**
Thanks to you, Tachibana-kun,
we can practice for real again!
**[06:12] miya**
Everything's great!
**[06:14] tachi**
No, there's one other
person I'm worried about.
**[06:23] ri**
Hey, Hanesaki-san.
**[06:25] ri**
Is it true you've been playing
badminton since elementary school?
**[06:29] aya**
No...
**[06:30] ri**
Since kindergarten, then?
**[06:35] aya**
I think since I was two or—
**[06:39] yu**
Wow, you've got great legs.
**[06:42] yu**
Like they were born that way!
**[06:46] yu**
Now the arms! Wow, big muscles!

Oh crud!

Fifteen times.
**[07:36] yu**
Ayano-chan!
**[07:38] yu**
Here!
**[07:39] yu**
Last place treats first place to a drink!
**[07:42] yu**
That's a Kitakomachi rule!
**[07:54] yu**
44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50...
**[07:59] ha**
She sure is great at this!
**[08:01] ha**
Like, on a totally different level...
**[08:04] yu**
Aw... sixty-one!
**[08:07] ha**
If she went for it,
she could keep it up forever.
**[08:11] aya**
Elena?
**[08:18] girl**
*I relied on you too much, Masao-kun.*
**[08:21] girl**

*I like having you rely on me!*
**[08:34] ele**
Thanks for putting up with me
after I called out of nowhere.
**[08:39] nori**
Wasn't that a great movie?
**[08:41] nori**
I love it when a woman wraps
a man around her finger!
**[08:56] nori**

**[08:58] nori**
He wants to know if I want to grab dinner...
**[09:00] ele**
Saionji-senpai?
**[09:02] nori**
Yeah. It's pretty bare-bones. No emojis.
**[09:07] nori**
Oh, what to do?
**[09:09] ele**
Just go.
**[09:11] ele**
I planned to eat at home anyway.
**[09:14] nori**
I just knew we'd be
great friends, Fujisawa-san!
**[09:39] ara**
Manag—Fujisawa?
**[09:46] ele**
I was a little worried she might
not fit in there without me.
**[09:54] ele**
But everyone's been so welcoming,
**[09:57] ele**
I thought she could stand on her own.
**[09:59] ele**
It's been rough on me, too.
**[10:01] ara**
Why did Hanesaki quit badminton?
**[10:06] ara**
I heard you were childhood friends, so...
**[10:15] ara**
During the junior nationals,
she was perfect.
**[10:20] ara**
On a totally different level
than she's playing on now.
**[10:29] ele**
Leave it to me! I'll figure it out.
**[10:33] ara**
No, this is more than a manager can handle.
**[10:39] ele**
I should be going.
**[10:46] sasa**
Hey! I found it!
**[10:49] tachi**
After stretches, we'll do mini-matches.
**[10:51] tachi**

**[10:53] kao**
Might I join in, perchance?
**[10:58] kao**
*And* I believe I'll play with... her!
**[11:08] sasa**
Kaoruko-chan! W-Wait!
**[11:12] kao**
What a musty old gym.
**[11:15] tachi**
Do you want to join the club or something?
**[11:19] kao**
Little in the way of training equipment...
**[11:21] kao**
Hardly an ideal environment, is it?
**[11:24] tachi**
Excuse me, but we're practicing.
**[11:26] tachi**
If you're going to be a nuisance, leave.
**[11:28] kao**
Did you call *me* a nuisance?!
**[11:33] kao**
*What's come over me?*

been named the ace at Konan High School.
**[11:48] tachi**
Konan?
**[11:49] tachi**
They've got a pretty
strong team, don't they?
**[11:51] tachi**
What's she doing here?
**[11:53] kao**
Come on. Get ready.
**[11:55] kao**
I won't move an inch until
you agree to play me.
**[12:31] yu**
She's really putting Ayano-chan
through her paces.
**[12:39] tachi**
She's predicting Hanesaki's moves and
mixing up her attacks based on that.
**[12:44] ara**
She's been proficient in psychological
warfare since middle school.
**[12:47] ara**
She knows how to set her opponent up.
**[12:49] ara**
And on top of that,
her technique has only improved.
**[13:04] kao**
How truly unsightly.
**[13:06] kao**
I came here to observe an old rival, but...
**[13:11] kao**
I'm *so* disappointed.
**[13:14] kao**
Hanesaki-san...
**[13:16] kao**
Don't forget, you can't beat me.
**[13:19] sasa**
Wait, Kaoruko-chan!
You can't cut across the lawn!
**[13:23] tachi**
Hanesaki, you let her dictate
the pace of the match.
**[13:26] tachi**
Next time, you should be more assertve—
**[13:28] tachi**
H-Hey...
**[13:31] ele**
Wait, Ayano!
**[13:35] ele**
Ayano! What's the matter?
**[13:39] aya**
I'm quitting the badminton club.
**[13:42] ele**
Oh, come on!
**[13:44] ele**
I'm staying in, okay?
**[13:48] ele**
We should both do our best!
**[13:50] aya**
No, thanks.

You can stay, but I'm quitting.

**[10:23] yu**
I think we might even win!
**[10:28] yu**
Sora-chan, did something
happen with you and Ayanon?
**[10:32] sora**
No.
**[10:33] yu**
Really? But you seem...
**[10:34] nagi**
Yu, Sora...
**[10:36] nagi**
She's not back yet, is she?
**[10:39] yu**
You mean Ayanon?
**[10:41] yu**
I guess she has been gone for a while.
**[10:47] aya**
Beat her?
**[10:48] girl**
I want to play her.
**[10:51] girl**
The reason I came to Japan,
**[10:52] girl**
and the reason I'm here at this camp...
**[10:54] girl**
It's all been so that I can fight her.
**[10:58] girl**
I've been waiting a long time to play her.
**[11:01] girl**
Just the thought of beating
her into the ground...
**[11:05] girl**
It fills me with excitement.
**[11:10] aya**
Oh, I see!
**[11:12] aya**
I'm here on a training
camp for my club, too!
**[11:19] girl**
The sight of your back is so disarming.
**[11:24] girl**
I just mean that it's kind of soothing.
**[11:28] girl**
I know someone else who's like that.
**[11:33] girl**
So, what about you?
Why'd you join your club?
**[11:38] aya**
Lately, I've started thinking
that it might be fun...
**[11:43] aya**
And I think I might be get
to be part of a team.
**[11:45] girl**
A team?
**[11:46] aya**
Yeah. I've been alone for
a really long time...
**[11:50] aya**
But I think I could have
a lot of fun with a team!

Hey, what exactly do you—

Oh, there it is!

No, I think I might like
helping everyone out!
**[12:10] girl**
You *think*?
**[12:12] girl**
That's weird.
**[12:13] girl**
Hey, what club are you in?
**[12:16] aya**
The badminton club.
**[12:21] girl**
What school are you from?
**[12:26] aya**
It's called Kitakomachi High.
**[12:29] girl**
Hold on a minute.

Are you...

Hanesaki-san!

Sora-chan!
**[12:40] aya**
I think my club senpai... came to get...

Was there a point to your
little friendship act?
**[12:59] con**
Can you get what you want that way?
**[13:09] con**
Later.
**[13:13] aya**
Sora-chan, did you come to get me?
**[13:16] aya**
I'll carry half of it!
**[13:18] aya**
W-Wait!
**[13:23] riko**
Welcome back!
**[13:25] riko**
Great timing. The first match
is just about to begin.
**[13:28] yu**
Let's cheer on Aragaki-senpai together!
**[13:32] hay**
Come on, guys! Make some noise!
**[13:34] hay**
You too, Gaku.
**[13:36] mi**
Aragaki-san! Give it all you've got!
**[13:42] aya**
It's my first match with everyone.

I want to win and be part of the team.

Game! Match won by Shiraishi-Misato,

Sorry, I messed up the last one.

I should have covered you sooner.

Great job!

They really are good!

I was hoping we'd be able

Yeah... Hanesaki's talents should
get us pretty far, but...
**[15:15] ta**
You were gone forever.
**[15:17] ta**
Was it really that far away?
**[15:19] ta**
You didn't get lost, did you?
**[15:22] con**
I made it back in time. What's the big deal?
**[15:25] ta**
You had us worried!
**[15:29] shira**
Hina never lets up.
**[15:31] misa**
I wish she would, though.
**[15:32] misa**
Connie never takes the bait, anyway.
**[15:36] riko**
Let's go, Ayano-chan.
**[15:39] ay**
Sure.
**[15:40] nagi**
Hanesaki! Win this one, okay?
**[15:59] con**
I'm going to play this match my way.

It's not like you'd listen to me anyway.

Hey, you're catching on!

Yeah, I'm black and blue, too!
**[16:19] hay**
Those college students are amazing!
**[16:22] hay**
Oh, but you hung on pretty
good in that second game!
**[16:26] hay**
If only that hairpin had landed.
**[16:29] hay**
I guess it's too late to
salvage it now, though.
**[16:31] yu**
Hayama-senpai, Gaku-sen—
**[16:34] yu**
Well, don't get too bummed out about it.
**[16:36] yu**
It's just a practice match anyway.
**[16:38] yu**
Let's just work hard for next time, okay?
**[16:41] sora**
Right.
**[16:42] sora**
Just a little more wrist
snap in that hairpin...

Hayama-senpai! Sora-chan!

The match is starting!
**[16:51] hay**
Whoops!

Thank you!

Yu-chan, did you come here to let us know?
**[16:57] sora**
Thanks.
**[17:00] ref**
Okay, the third match is starting.
**[17:03] all**
Let's play!
**[17:04] con**
Get ready.
**[17:07] con**
I'm going to show you how
meaningless your "team" is.
**[17:14] riko**
Ayano-chan, did something
happen between you two?
**[17:18] aya**
I don't think so...
**[17:21] con**
You don't have to do anything.
**[17:23] con**
I'll play them both. Don't interfere.
**[17:28] ta**
Do you not get how doubles works?!
**[17:30] sora**
Go for it!
**[17:32] sora**
Ayanon, do your best!

Get that win, Ayano!

Sorry. I'll stop the next one.

S-Service over.
**[18:36] ref**
1-all.
**[18:40] ta**
Connie! What are you doing?
**[18:44] con**
It's pointless unless
I win the match by myself.
**[18:49] con**
If you're going to get in my way,
you can play by yourself.
**[19:07] riko**
Ayano-chan, focus.
**[19:10] riko**
We just need to give this all we have.
**[19:13] aya**
Okay.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Good morning, Coach Watari.

I'll handle the rest.

Don't get in my way again.

Do you think you could've returned that one?

Thought so... I couldn't even see it.

Great one!

Yeah! It'll get through!

Ayano, come over here!
**[00:03] ---**
Wait, Elena!
**[00:06] ---**
Are you...
**[00:07] ---**
Hurry up! You're doing this!
**[00:11] ---**
Hello there!

You're doing this!
**[00:14] ---**
You're...
**[00:15] ---**
Elena... Why?
**[00:18] ---**
I really think you should
be playing badminton.
**[00:22] ---**
You have all the natural elements
that can't be won through effort.
**[00:25] ---**
You should definitely be playing badminton.
**[00:27] ---**
Please stop.
**[00:28] ---**
I'm not going to change my mind.
**[00:31] ---**
I've had enough.
**[00:32] ---**
What do you mean, you've had enough?!
**[00:35] ---**
Mom left because I lost to Kaoruko-chan.
**[00:40] ---**
I thought that if I got good enough,
Mom would come back.
**[00:43] ---**
I believed that, and...
**[00:45] ---**
And I kept winning!

Why'd you join your club?
**[01:00] ---**
Lately, I've started thinking
that it might be fun...
**[01:04] ---**
And I think I might get
to be part of a team.
**[01:07] ---**
Was there a point to your
little friendship act?
**[01:11] ---**
Can you get what you want that way?
**[01:18] ---**

Well, that's part of it, but...

Is this all you've got?

You're not really Uchika's daughter.

She knows about Mom?

Ayano-chan, we're in an interval.
**[04:11] (Flashback) riko**
It's so silky!
**[04:13] (Flashback) riko**
There! All done!
**[04:14] (Flashback) riko**
Was there a point to your

**[04:16] (Flashback) riko**
It's really nice, isn't it?
**[04:18] (Flashback) riko**
It feels like we're part of the team.
**[04:19] (Flashback) riko**
Big Sister.
**[04:20] (Flashback) riko**
Hanesaki! Win this one, okay?
**[04:21] (Flashback) riko**
You're not really Uchika's daughter.
**[04:28] tachi**
That's the way.
**[04:30] tachi**
Good motion. Just add a
little more follow-through.
**[04:34] aya**
I don't understand anything anymore...
**[04:38] riko**
Ayano-chan. You're not alone.
**[04:42] riko**
I might not be the best player,
**[04:45] riko**
but sharing the burden during low points...
**[04:48] riko**
is what partners are for, right?
**[04:55] tachi**
Izumi. Hanesaki.
**[04:58] tachi**
Starting next game,
you'll stop defending together.
**[05:07] girl**
Is she gonna play the second
game by herself, too?
**[05:10] girl**
What's going through that girl's head?
**[05:12] girl**
I hope Hina's not too discouraged.
**[05:20] hina**
Hey! Cut it out!
**[05:26] hime**
Support Connie, okay?
**[05:29] hina**
Support her?
**[05:32] hina**
Please. She's winning
effortlessly without me...
**[05:37] hime**
She is for now.

Huh?
**[05:42] yu**
What's Riko-chan-senpai doing there?
**[05:45] hay**
I've never seen that formation before.

In that's how you're going to
play it, then I'll play along...
**[05:57] con**
by crushing you!

*They're all to Ayano-chan.*
**[06:14] riko**
*He's right. I need to let her handle it.*
**[06:24] tachi**
*That's right, Izumi.*
**[06:25] tachi**
*That's for the best.*
**[06:27] (Flashback) riko**
What do you mean, stop defending together?
**[06:31] (Flashback) tachi**
Connie's most dangerous shot is a
hard smash from a high vantage point.
**[06:37] (Flashback) tachi**
To deal with it, I'm
fixing you both in place.
***SIGN*** Izumi

Izumi, stick to the net and hit
back shuttles that come in high.
**[06:46] (Flashback) tachi**
Hanesaki, whose defense is strong,
should cover the larger rear space.
**[06:50] (Flashback) tachi**
Hanesaki, leave shots in the forecourt to
Izumi and focus on returning the smashes.
***SIGN*** Izumi

Can you do it, Hanesaki?
**[07:07] (Flashback) tachi**
Okay. Each of you, believe in your partner,
**[07:10] (Flashback) tachi**
and cover the territory assigned you!
**[07:13] (Flashback) riko**
Okay!
**[07:18] tachi**
She returned it!
**[07:19] con**
Dumb luck!
**[07:26] con**
Damn you...
**[07:28] con**
Drop it already!
**[07:39] yu**
She returned it and scored.
**[07:41] riko**
Ayano-chan!
**[07:43] riko**
Nice placement!
**[07:52] tachi**
Even better than expected...

That's how she's always been.

Ever since she was little,

That girl, Hanesaki...
**[09:25] girl**
Is she really a first-year?
**[09:28] girl**
She keeps returning everything
so their rally keeps going and going.
**[09:32] girl**
It must be hard on her.
**[09:33] girl**
She's the one who insisted on playing alone.
**[09:36] girl**
There's no need to feel sorry for her.
**[09:39] girl**
I... guess not...

11-7! Interval!

Okay!

Still going to be stubborn after all this?

I told you I'd play it my way.

Hey, Hanesaki...
**[14:16] tachi**
Ayano-chan!
**[14:21] tachi**
Hey! Hanesaki!
**[14:24] riko**
Looks like she isn't here.
**[14:26] ara**
Yeah...
**[14:31] sora**
Yeah, we haven't seen her, either.
**[14:42] yu**
Ayanon! Let's head back to the gym.
**[14:45] yu**
Everyone's looking for you.
**[14:54] sora**
I hated you, Hanesaki-san.
**[14:58] yu**
H-Hey, Sora-chan?
**[14:59] sora**
You acted like you didn't care,
**[15:01] sora**
but you had talent, so people counted on you,
**[15:04] sora**
and they worried about you when
you stopped coming to club.
**[15:13] sora**
But...
**[15:15] sora**
You were really cool in that last match.
**[15:19] sora**
So don't make excuses, okay?
**[15:30] yu**
Let's go back together, Ayanon!

What's that? Pity?
**[15:52] hime**
Well, I was a little worried.
**[15:55] con**
Just let it go.

I said let it go!

I think I did something awful to that girl.

I thought of Connie-chan

Mama saved me when I was all alone.

It's so cute!
**[00:03] miy**
Having a model to work with really
helps with visualization!
**[00:06] ara**
Um, what's this all about?
**[00:08] miy**
Your new uniforms!
**[00:10] miy**
I have to decide by today, or we won't
get them in time for the prelims!
**[00:13] miy**
How about this one?
**[00:15] tachi**
Um, if it's too short, it might
be hard to concentrate.
**[00:21] tachi**
Can't we just stick with
the same design we had—
**[00:24] miy**
It's old-fashioned!
**[00:25] tachi**
Old...
**[00:26] tachi**
You're hopeless. You don't get it!
**[00:30] tachi**
Girls are invigorated
by wearing something cute!
**[00:34] tachi**
It's like buying new clothes
before you go on a date!
**[00:36] tachi**
The exact same thing!
**[00:38] tachi**
Clothes give women life!
**[00:44] ara**
I don't particularly care about the uniform.
**[00:47] ara**
The same old one would be fine with me.
**[00:49] riko**
I like the idea of new uniforms.
**[00:52] ara**
Really?
**[00:53] riko**
It gives us that "the all-new
Kitakomachi High School!" feeling.
**[00:58] riko**
We got Coach Tachibana,
Ayano-chan joined the club...
**[01:02] riko**
We got a manager, too.
**[01:05] riko**
This year's Kitakomachi feels
different than before.
**[01:10] riko**
So I'm gonna do everything
I can to get to nationals.
**[01:14] riko**
After all, it's our last summer, you know?
**[01:18] riko**

Oh, yeah, Aragaki-senpai, too...
**[03:12] yu**
But I meant Riko-chan-senpai.
**[03:15] sora**
Has she?
**[03:19] ara**
Come on, you could have returned that one!

Yu-chan, you should worry
about your own matches first.
**[04:37] yu**
How'd you make out, Riko-chan-senpai?
**[04:43] sora**
Ishizawa from Zushi Sogo in the first round?
**[04:47] ele**
Is she good?
**[04:49] ele**
This Ishizawa person.
**[04:52] riko**
She got into the final four last year.
**[04:54] riko**
And we were in middle school together.
**[04:58] ele**
An old friend, huh?
**[05:00] ele**
Sounds kinda like a "destined

**[05:05] ele**
Well, see you later!

It'll be fine!
**[05:14] yu**
I know you can beat—
**[05:16] aya**
Riko-chan, how far did you get last year?
**[05:23] riko**
I lost in the third round.
**[05:26] aya**
It might be tough for you, then.
**[05:39] riko**
Lousy luck for my last time, huh?
**[05:48] ara**
What was that all about?
**[05:50] riko**
What?
**[05:51] ara**
The "Lousy luck for my last time" thing.
**[05:55] riko**
Just joking.
**[05:57] riko**
But...
**[05:59] ara**
You sound like you're giving up
before you've even—
**[06:02] riko**
I know.
**[06:06] riko**
But...
**[06:08] riko**
I'm playing Nozomi.
**[06:16] ara**
Ishizawa's got no stamina.
**[06:20] ara**
She's usually worn out by the second half.
**[06:22] ara**
If you can just keep the
rallies going early on—
**[06:24] riko**
*You* could do that, Nagisa.
**[06:27] riko**
Don't act like I'm you!
**[06:31] ara**
I wasn't trying to.
**[06:36] riko**
D-Do you really think I can beat Nozomi?
**[06:43] ara**
You said you'd work hard
because it's our last summer.
**[06:45] ara**
Was that a lie?
**[06:47] riko**
I didn't say...
**[06:53] ara**
What has all your practice

Okay!

They only just made it in time!
**[09:58] miy**
And because of a mistake,
**[10:00] miy**
the school's name wasn't embroidered

Will they really get through
all these matches?
**[10:25] tachi**
They have spillover days just in case,
**[10:27] tachi**
but in the preliminaries, they'll keep
matches going on any court available.
**[10:32] tachi**
Pacing yourself is important if
you want to make it to the tournament.
**[10:36] ele**
Sounds rough.

You're not looking well.
**[13:32] riko**
I-I'm fine!

I just got swept up in her rhythm...
**[13:38] tachi**
How many fingers?
**[13:41] riko**
Th-Three?
**[13:43] tachi**
When you're in a spiral, think about
something else and reset your brain.
**[13:49] tachi**
Then once you've settled down,
head back to the court.
**[13:54] tachi**
Incidentally, the answer is four!
**[13:56] riko**
That was sneaky!
**[13:59] tachi**
Have you shaken it off?
**[14:02] tachi**
You need to be a little sneaky in badminton.
**[14:07] riko**
The first one was here...
**[14:09] riko**
Repeated backcourt forehands...
**[14:11] hay**
What's Izumi up to?
**[14:14] izu**
Um, and then... That one dropped shallow...
**[14:18] izu**
Another shot to the forehand...
**[14:24] riko**
*I'm not entirely sure,*
**[14:26] riko**
*but... it's worth a try!*
**[14:34] riko**
*I knew it!*
**[14:35] sora**
Her forehand's wide open!
**[14:36] yu**
Riko-chan-senpai, forehand!
**[14:37] riko**
*Aim for the opposite of her open side!*
**[14:45] riko**
Yes!
**[14:46] kids**
Yeah!
**[14:48] kids**
Nice placement!
**[14:51] riko**
* I knew it. She was making me hit it*
* to her wide-open forehand side.*
**[14:55] riko**
* She was trying to get me to hit to her*
* forehand side, even when it was risky.*
**[14:59] riko**
*Because she doesn't like her backhand!*
**[15:05] riko**
*They're weaker than her forehand strokes.*
**[15:07] riko**
*The placement is sloppier, too.*
**[15:08] riko**
*Like this, even I can keep up!*
**[15:10] noz**
*Knock it off!*
**[15:16] tachi**
Was that a cut smash?
**[15:19] tachi**
She's good...
**[15:21] yu**
But the way she swung her arm
was just like a normal smash!
**[15:25] sora**
Mixing a cut smash like
that into a high-pace rally...
**[15:30] riko**
*She's changing up her timing.*
**[15:32] riko**
*The smashes feel even faster than before.*
**[15:35] riko**
*I can't keep up with the changes!*
**[15:54] ump**
19-6.
**[16:00] riko**
*Yeah, I knew it.*

Damn it!
**[16:14] ara**
Shout it loud!
**[16:24] riko**
One more time!
**[16:29] riko**
*I can't hit a smash like Nagisa.*
**[16:33] riko**
*I don't have great reflexes like Ayano-chan.*
**[16:38] riko**
*But I've always thrown myself into the game.*
**[16:42] riko**
*So... I don't...*
**[16:46] riko**
*I don't want it to end yet!*
**[16:49] riko**
*She hit it high?!*
**[16:50] riko**
Idiot! You gave it right to her!
**[16:53] riko**
Yes! She returned it!
**[16:55] riko**
But it was weak.
**[16:58] riko**
Wow! She returned it again!
**[17:00] riko**
Did she figure out her smash technique?
**[17:03] riko**
Maybe the shots are weaker
because she's tired?
**[17:06] gaku**
No, that's not it.
**[17:08] gaku**
Izumi isn't trying to maintain
a high-speed rally.
**[17:11] gaku**
Instead, she's using big clears to give
herself more time until her opponent returns.
**[17:16] sora**
That's what's letting her deal with the
varied pacing of Ishizawa-san's shots?
**[17:21] hay**
But doesn't that mean...
**[17:24] hay**
...Izumi's going to be on defense forever?
**[17:33] all**
Yes! You did it!
**[17:35] all**
Yes, yes, yes! Great job!
**[17:42] (Flashback) coach**

Hanesaki's so good.

It took all I had just

I guess that's the difference

8-all.
**[00:43] girl**
Don't sweat it, Satomi!
**[00:45] girl**
It's still just a tie!
**[00:47] sasa**
That Hanesaki girl...
**[00:49] sasa**
She plays amazing defense, but her
attacks are nothing special, huh?
**[00:54] sasa**
But since I lost my first match,
I guess I'm not one to judge.
**[00:59] sasa**
Kaoruko-chan?
**[01:01] kao**
Oh? Of course...
**[01:11] sasa**
Too bad for Satomi-senpai, huh?
**[01:15] sasa**
But good luck for you!
**[01:18] sasa**
I mean, you creamed her when
you played her at Kitakomachi!
**[01:22] sasa**
You'll beat her, no sweat!
**[01:25] kao**
I most certainly will.
**[01:27] kao**
I'll mop the floor with her—
**[01:36] aya**
Kaoruko-chan.
**[01:39] kao**
Shall I ask how you're feeling?
**[01:41] kao**
Though it will *hardly* make a
difference one way or the other.
**[01:46] aya**
I could have used a little more
warm-up before I played you...
**[01:52] kao**
* I knew it. She extended*
* the rallies on purpose.*
**[01:55] aya**
Well, see you later.
**[01:59] kao**
Hanesaki-san.
**[02:06] aya**
A handkerchief?
**[02:09] kao**
You'll need it to wipe away your
tears when you lose, right?
**[02:13] kao**
Or maybe...
**[02:15] kao**
...you'll be wiping off snot?
**[02:26] aya**
Oh, yeah, that sure was frustrating.
**[02:30] aya**
But...
**[02:33] aya**
I've been training to
grind you into the dirt.
**[02:37] aya**
Now I'm trembling with anticipation.
**[04:19] sen**
You did your best.
**[04:21] sen**
Don't cry, Satomi.
**[04:24] sen**
Let's cool down, okay?
**[04:26] sen**
I mean, I lost in the first round,
so I probably don't need it myself.
**[04:30] sen**
You face her next, right, Serigaya?
**[04:33] sen**
Get us some revenge.
**[04:34] kao**
I have no interest in revenge.
**[04:38] sasa**
Kaoruko-chan!
**[04:39] sen**
What does that mean?
**[04:47] kao**
In badminton, might makes right.
**[04:52] kao**
I play only for myself.
**[04:57] sasa**
S-Senpai!
**[04:58] sasa**
Kaoruko-chan's just a little nervous is all.
**[05:00] sen**
Out of my way!
**[05:01] sato**
Stop it!
**[05:09] sen**
I guess you think you can beat her, then?
**[05:13] kao**
I've already visualized the pattern
that will lead to my victory.
**[05:16] kao**
A loss is unthinkable.
**[05:20] kao**
If you will excuse me, I need to warm up.
**[05:32] hay**
Aw, Yu lost, too...
**[05:37] hay**
Who's left now?
**[05:39] gaku**
Aragaki, Sora, and Hanesaki.
**[05:41] hay**
Boy, Hanesaki's darn good...
**[05:44] gaku**
Yeah.
**[05:45] hay**
Her mom won ten straight
national tournaments, they say.
**[05:48] hay**
No wonder she glided her
way to the third round.
**[05:52] hay**
I guess next week's matches are
the last for us third-years.
**[05:55] gaku**
Not if we win.
**[06:04] hay**
Yeah, you're right.
**[06:11] hay**
Isehara!
**[06:15] hay**
Hey, are you gonna keep playing
badminton in college?
**[06:20] gaku**
No. Probably not.
**[06:25] hay**
I see.
**[06:46] hay**
Meat really does taste best after a workout!
**[06:55] hay**
It was really close, you know? Cheer up.
**[07:00] yu**
She was one grade below me. A first-year.
**[07:03] hay**
She was really good.
**[07:04] hay**
But you'll get another shot next year.
**[07:06] yu**
I've been playing badminton since
my fifth year of elementary school.
**[07:12] yu**
But I still lost in the second round.
**[07:15] yu**
I really must not have any talent.
**[07:17] hay**
Don't be stupid!

It's not a problem, of course,

You'll lose focus.

You needn't worry about that.

*I can't help but shift gears.*

Love-all. Play!
**[09:40] kaoru**
*First, I'll drop it just past the net.*
**[09:45] nagi**
It's short!
**[09:46] kao**
* And if you return my short*
* serve with your backhand...*
**[09:52] kao**
* You'll hit a straight hairpin from the racket face*

**[09:56] kao**
*Bingo.*

*Now, let's get started!*
**[10:03] kao**
*She's fast!*

1-love.
**[10:13] kaoru**
*Th-That's impossible.*
**[10:16] sen**
Oh boy, she gave up
first blood just like that.
**[10:19] sen**
Worry not.
**[10:21] sen**
I've already visualized the pattern

**[10:24] sen**
A loss is unthinkable!
**[10:28] sasa**
*Don't lose your cool, Kaoruko-chan!*
**[10:35] kaoru**
* I thought I had accounted*

**[10:43] ump**
Hanesaki to serve. Play!
**[10:45] kaoru**
*Standard attacks won't work on you.*
**[10:49] kaoru**
*I'll need to engage overkill mode!*

5-love.

You're amazing, Hanesaki.
**[11:24] (Flashback) coach**
Serigaya usually beats
everyone, even the boys!
**[11:29] sen**
Sheesh. Spare us a love game, at least.
**[11:33] sen**
All that bragging didn't
amount to much, did it?
**[11:36] sen**
Even Satomi held out longer than this.
**[11:40] sasa**
*What's with that girl?*
**[11:43] sasa**
*She's like a totally different person!*
**[11:46] ele**
Looking good, Ayano!
**[11:49] riko**
That Serigaya girl can't keep up at all.
**[11:52] tachi**
She's playing completely differently
from her former all-defense style.
**[11:58] kaoru**
* Hanesaki-san attacks primarily*
* after I try a kill shot.*
**[12:03] kaoru**
*In other words, she uses counters.*
**[12:05] kaoru**
* Then if I just avoid kill*
* shots and hang in there...*
**[12:09] kaoru**
*Hang in there.*
**[12:10] sasa**
*Keep fighting, Kaoruko-chan!*
**[12:12] kao**
*Outlast her. Eke out my first point.*
**[12:26] kao**
*That's bait, too!*
**[12:30] yu**
The rally just keeps going, huh?
**[12:33] hay**
I feel like the pace has slowed a bit...
**[12:36] nagi**
She's gone on the defensive.
**[12:39] nagi**
Hanesaki doesn't have a lot of power,
so this might make it harder for her.
**[12:46] kaoru**
* Since I stopped taking her bait,*
* she's started losing focus during rallies.*
**[12:57] kao**
*Time to go on the offensive!*
**[12:58] kao**
*This is the moment...*
**[13:01] kao**
*...when I seize the initiative!*
**[13:04] kao**
Yes!
**[13:05] sasa**
Nice, Kaoruko-chan!
**[13:19] kao**
*I can do this!*
**[13:22] riko**
Serigaya-san thinks really
hard while she plays.
**[13:26] riko**
It's like she tries to get her
opponent to fall into her pattern.
**[13:31] tachi**
That's probably it.
**[13:33] tachi**
Hanesaki and Serigaya are polar opposites.
**[13:36] tachi**
I was more like Serigaya myself,
**[13:39] tachi**
so I know the hard work she's put in.
**[13:44] tachi**
Never underestimate the power of hard work.
**[13:56] tachi**
Yes!
**[14:11] ump**
11-5.
**[14:13] ump**
Interval.
**[14:14] sen**
So close!
**[14:22] sasa**
Kaoruko-chan, you're just getting started!
**[14:27] kao**
*I admit it.*
**[14:30] kao**
*You are very good.*
**[14:33] kao**
*But...*
**[14:35] kao**
*Not as good as you were then.*
**[14:40] coach**
You're looking good.
**[14:42] coach**
Just keep hanging in there.
**[14:44] kao**
Yes, sir.
**[14:49] kao**
*Her psychology is her weak point.*
**[14:52] kao**
*If I wear her down as much as possible,*
**[14:54] kao**
* slow her down in the*
* second half, and then strike...*
**[14:58] kao**
*It should, mentally, shatter her.*
**[15:04] tachi**
A battle of attrition
is just what she wants.
**[15:07] tachi**
You need to set the pace yourself.
**[15:09] aya**
Okay!

I could barely even follow the shuttle.
**[00:28] (Flashback) riko**
You almost had that last smash, too...
**[00:36] (Flashback) ishi**
I just can't beat Nagisa, I guess.
**[00:46] ishi**
I've got it!
**[00:47] kura**
Ishizawa!
**[00:48] kura**
Pattern B!
**[00:50] kura**
Lob!
**[00:51] kura**
Hurry, hurry!
**[00:56] kura**
Okay!
**[00:58] kura**
Nice! Nice cut, Ishizawa!
**[01:01] kura**
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
**[01:03] kura**
Keep it going! Just like that!
**[01:03] yu**
What a loudmouth of a coach.
**[01:05] kura**
Great!
**[01:07] riko**
If it keeps up like this, the
semifinals will be Nozomi and...
**[01:12] nagi**
I'm gonna warm up a little.
**[01:26] ishi**
Another!
***SIGN*** #8 "The Badminton I Want to Play"
**[03:01] ump**
Your signature.
**[03:04] girl**
Good luck in the semis.
**[03:08] play**
Though I wish it didn't
have to end yet for me.
***SIGN*** Ishizawa
**[03:32] miya**
Aragaki-san seems really
worked up about this.
**[03:36] riko**
Ishizawa Nozomi, the girl from
Zushi Sogo she's facing in the semifinals,
**[03:40] riko**
went to the same middle
school as the two of us.
**[03:43] miya**
Old rivals meet again, huh?
**[03:46] miya**
Doesn't it get your heart racing?
**[03:49] riko**
Rivals?
**[03:51] riko**
I suppose you could call them that.
**[03:53] miya**
Am I wrong?
**[03:57] riko**
In middle school, Nagisa had been favored
to receive a scholarship to Zushi Sogo.
**[04:03] riko**
But...
**[04:05] (Flashback) coach**
Ishizawa!
**[04:10] riko**
Nozomi was chosen instead.
**[04:13] riko**
Nozomi was so well-rounded as a player.
**[04:16] riko**
I couldn't compete with her.
**[04:19] riko**
But to be honest...
**[04:22] riko**
Even from a distance,
**[04:24] riko**
I could tell that Nagisa
was the better player.
**[04:29] riko**
Nozomi knew that, too.
**[04:39] riko**
I think it hurt Nagisa to see
Nozomi accepted over her.
**[04:44] riko**
And Nozomi also...
**[04:47] tachi**
What's wrong?
**[04:49] tachi**
Nervous?
**[04:50] nag**
Not particularly.
**[04:52] tachi**
Whoever wins the semifinals
goes to nationals.
**[04:57] tachi**
It hurts, doesn't it?
**[05:02] nagi**
I told you, I'm fine.
**[05:04] nagi**
An athlete's career rides on their knees.
**[05:07] nagi**
If I decide you're through,
**[05:09] nagi**
I'm stopping you right away.
**[05:19] girl**
Tough break, huh?
**[05:20] girl**
You almost made it to the top four...
**[05:23] girl**
Ishizawa really is good, huh?
**[05:26] girl**
But she goes to Zushi Sogo,
so of course she is.
**[05:29] girl**
But all she does is follow
her coach's orders.
**[05:37] girl**
The ability to follow directions
is pretty amazing, too.
**[05:40] girl**
You may be right,
**[05:42] girl**
but badminton with a backseat
driver can't be much fun.
**[05:48] kura**
Got it? Side to side.
**[05:51] kura**
Focus on scattered combinations...
**[05:53] kura**
...to C2 through C4 to make
Aragaki run side to side.
**[05:57] kura**
She'll wear out her knee sooner or later.
**[06:01] kura**
Got it?
**[06:03] ishi**
Yes, sir.
**[06:04] kura**
Put continuous pressure where
your opponent is weakest.
**[06:08] kura**
That's what strategy is.
**[06:11] ishi**
Yes, sir.
**[06:14] kura**
Why have you come this far?
**[06:19] kura**
Win and show me.
**[06:21] ishi**
Yes, sir.
**[06:29] riko**
Ayano-chan is just amazing...
**[06:32] nagi**
Riko. Next.
**[06:34] riko**
Oh, sorry...
**[06:47] ump**
Play is suspended.
**[06:50] coach**
You pulled it?
**[06:51] coach**
Yes...
**[06:53] coach**
Is there anything else? Can you still play?
**[06:55] coach**
Yes...
**[06:55] aya**
You need my signature, right?
**[06:57] ump**
No, the game's still...
**[07:00] aya**
You're through, aren't you?
**[07:02] girl**
I'm fine! I can play!
**[07:04] aya**
Is there really a point to it, though?
**[07:07] aya**
You can't possibly win.
**[07:18] ele**
Ayano?
**[07:23] ele**
What was that all about?
**[07:26] aya**
What do you mean? I won.
**[07:28] aya**
I'd have liked to go longer,
but she forfeited, so...
**[07:33] ele**
Why are you acting this way?
**[07:35] aya**
This again?
**[07:38] ele**
Lately, when you're playing badminton...
**[07:42] ele**
You seem so cold.
**[07:45] ele**
You're kind of...
**[07:46] ele**
...scary.
**[07:49] aya**
That's a selfish thing to say.
**[07:53] aya**
You're the one who brought me here, Elena.
**[07:57] ele**
I've never played badminton before.
**[07:59] ele**
I don't know much about sports, either.
**[08:03] ele**
But I think you need to consider
your opponent's feelings.
**[08:08] aya**
Well, I'm not playing
badminton to make friends.
**[08:12] ele**
But the team's important, right?
**[08:14] aya**
Look, there's no point in
doing it if you're not good.
**[08:19] ele**
Then what are you getting good for?
**[08:33] nagi**
It's been a while.
**[08:37] nagi**
Let's both leave here with no regrets.
**[08:52] ishi**
Oh, please. You don't even see me.
**[08:58] riko**
What's wrong, Elena-chan?
**[09:01] ele**
Oh? Um... Well...
**[09:04] ele**
I'm a little hungry, I guess!
**[09:08] kura**
Go! Go, go, go, Ishizawa!
**[09:11] kura**
C! C!
**[09:12] kura**
Focus on C!
**[09:13] kura**
Make her run! Rotate, C1 through C6!
**[09:16] kura**
Wear her down! Wear down her stamina!
**[09:18] kura**
Go!
**[09:19] kura**
Go, Ishizawa!
**[09:20] nagi**
*I knew that's what they'd be after.*
**[09:24] nagi**
*But...*
**[09:32] riko**
It's not over yet! Keep it going!
**[09:39] tachi**
Aragaki...
***SIGN*** Kanagawa Zushi Sogo High School
**[09:52] kura**
Great one, Ishizawa!
**[09:53] kura**
Shake her! Shake her!
**[09:55] kura**
Focus on placement! Placement!
**[09:57] yu**
Great job out there, Ayanon!
**[09:58] aya**
Bunch of nonsense... Honestly, who cares?
**[09:59] yu**
There's a seat next to me if you want to...
**[10:03] aya**
Boy, Nagisa-chan is dumb!
**[10:07] aya**
Returning all those shots is pointless.
**[10:09] aya**
She's getting beaten anyway.
**[10:14] ump**
9-7!
**[10:15] aya**
See?
**[10:17] kura**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[10:18] kura**
Focus on C!
**[10:19] kura**
Rotate, C1 to C6!
**[10:21] kura**
Make her run!
**[10:23] kura**
Make her run more!
**[10:25] ump**
10-7!
**[10:27] riko**
Nagisa... She's acting a
little strange, isn't she?
**[10:30] kura**
That's the way! More!
**[10:33] kura**
Make her run more!
**[10:37] (Flashback) kura**
Aragaki is finished.
**[10:40] (Flashback) kura**
To be frank, she's at risk of
ending her athletic career.
**[10:47] (Flashback) kura**
Despite her height and build,
**[10:50] (Flashback) kura**
Aragaki throws herself at every shuttle
over the net, no matter how difficult.
**[10:56] (Flashback) kura**
There are two potential reasons for this.
**[10:59] (Flashback) kura**
One is a bad eye for what's
in and what's out.
**[11:02] (Flashback) kura**
The other is...
**[11:04] riko**
It's out!
**[11:08] (Flashback) kura**
Personality, perhaps?
**[11:12] (Flashback) kura**
Either way, the strain Aragaki puts on her
legs is much greater than yours.
**[11:19] ishi**
*This nonsense...*
**[11:22] kura**
Great one! Hang in there, hang in there!
**[11:24] ishi**
*Even if I don't play that way...*
**[11:26] ishi**
*I can still...*
**[11:33] ump**
11-8. Interval.
**[11:42] kura**
Why didn't you make her run?
**[11:46] kura**
Are you going to follow
my instructions or not?
**[11:52] kura**
If you don't reply, I won't
know if you heard me!
**[11:59] kura**
Reply!
**[12:09] kura**
Ishizawa.
**[12:11] kura**
Reply.
**[12:13] ishi**
Y-Yes, sir...
**[12:15] kura**
Listen. C2 to C4.
**[12:19] kura**
If you want to win, do as you're told.
**[12:21] ishi**
Yes, sir.
**[12:22] riko**
Nagisa.
**[12:24] riko**
Are you having any pain?
**[12:26] nagi**
Not especially.
**[12:28] riko**
The reason that coach
wants to make you run...
**[12:32] riko**
Is it possible he's not just trying
to wear down your stamina?
**[12:35] nagi**
Dunno.
**[12:36] tachi**
You don't have to return those cut smashes.
**[12:39] nagi**
Yes, I do!
**[12:40] tachi**
Dummy.
**[12:42] tachi**
Aragaki, they're trying
to blow out your knee.
**[12:47] nagi**
I know that, but...
**[12:53] nagi**
I just...
**[13:04] tachi**
Go after the cuts if you want,
**[13:07] tachi**
but don't force yourself to run.
**[13:09] tachi**
Focus on one or two rallies before.
**[13:12] tachi**
Compensate for it in your own
way to alleviate the burden.
**[13:16] nagi**
Compensate for it? How?
**[13:19] ump**
One minute over. Please return to the court.
**[13:23] nagi**
What a load of crap...
**[13:26] riko**
I hope she'll be okay.
**[13:29] ump**
11-8. Play.
**[13:34] ishi**
*I have to win.*
**[13:38] ishi**
*If I lose, I...*
**[13:41] nagi**
*Think.*
**[13:42] nagi**
*What will she send at me?*
**[13:44] nagi**
*One or two rallies before...*
**[13:46] kura**
Ishizawa! Pattern E! Cross it over!
**[13:49] nagi**
* Imagine scoring a point,*
* and work back from that.*
**[13:52] kura**
Yes, good! Just like that!
**[13:52] nagi**
*Get her moving the way I want...*
**[13:54] ri**
She's anticipating everything.
**[13:56] nagi**
Then I'll bring the match up to the net!
**[13:59] aya**
Uh-oh.
**[14:01] aya**
Bad choice, Nagisa-chan.
**[14:05] kura**
Perfect!
**[14:07] ele**
So annoying...
**[14:08] riko**
Her attack patterns,
her racket work, her net play...
**[14:13] riko**
It's all flawless.
**[14:15] ele**
Hey.
**[14:16] ele**
Coach, why don't you give Nagisa-senpai
a few instructions yourself?
**[14:20] riko**
Hey, Elena-chan...
**[14:21] ele**
But it's not fair if they
do it and we don't!
**[14:25] tachi**
Even if I instructed her now,
**[14:27] tachi**
I can't make Aragaki perform
any better than she makes herself.
**[14:31] ele**
Oh, come on...
**[14:33] tachi**
In fact, it would just confuse her.
**[14:36] riko**
But at this rate, Nagisa's going to...
**[14:38] ele**
That's right! She'll lose!
**[14:42] nagi**
*Damn it.*
**[14:43] nagi**
*I'm still getting run around the court...*
**[14:45] nagi**
* What's "one or two rallies before"*
* supposed to mean?*
**[14:48] nagi**
*Thinking about that crap...*
**[14:50] nagi**
*...isn't making this easier!*
**[14:53] ishi**
*A backhand to the body?*
**[14:55] nagi**
*She doesn't have full control...*
**[14:58] kura**
Ishizawa! Control!
**[15:00] kura**
A2! A2!
**[15:02] ishi**
*How can a drive have so much power?*
**[15:05] nagi**
*I can torpedo her plan...*
**[15:09] nagi**
*...with power like mine!*
**[15:11] ishi**
*Too close to the shaft!*
**[15:12] nagi**
Got it!
**[15:13] kura**
Get back! Back court, Ishizawa!
**[15:19] ump**
Out!
**[15:20] ele**
Yes!
**[15:21] riko**
She broke through!
**[15:24] tachi**
She finally got things going her way.
**[15:27] riko**
Um, what does "one or two
rallies before" mean?
**[15:32] tachi**
It means arranging your shots in a
way that lets you take initiative.
**[15:37] riko**
Well, of course, but...
**[15:39] tachi**
She's compensated by using
brute force, of course.
**[15:41] tachi**
But, well, I'm not sure if she's
thinking that hard about it.
**[15:56] kura**
Tempo! Tempo!

Totsuka Middle School?
Wasn't that Aragaki's school?

**[00:13] ---**
The Inter-High prelims are upon us!

Gaku, you're on fire!
**[00:33] ---**
You might make it to the Inter-High this year!

Hey, don't talk like it's not your business.
**[00:38] hay**
It's totally my business!
**[00:40] hay**
We've been playing together
since elementary school.
**[00:43] hay**
So I really want Gaku to get
to the Inter-High this year!
**[00:47] hay**
But I wish I could've beaten
him at least once...
**[00:52] hay**
It's just, with feints and judgment like yours,
you've got a real shot!
**[00:53] hay**
It's a bit awkward, isn't it?
**[01:00] hay**
Nagisa-senpai and Ayanon.
**[01:03] hay**
Oh, them?
**[01:06] hay**
I can't believe the finals will
be two girls from our school.

Ayanon's still acting weird, too.

Hey. Sorry to intrude.
**[01:55] con**
We promised, remember?
**[01:56] con**
Ayano...
**[01:58] con**
This time, we'll have our one-on-one...
**[02:04] con**
What?
**[02:05] aya**
I can see...
**[02:07] con**
See what?

You've got finals coming up.

My racket bag's...

My Wei-Wei!

Why did you put it there?!

What's a Wei-Wei?

Let's go.

You can just glue it back, right?

That's not the point!

Why not skip the match and go here?

Letting Ayano and Connie
hang out feels a little...

Forget Mom.
**[04:59] (Flashback) ele**
I don't need her anymore.
**[05:03] aya**
Wei-Wei!

Don't worry.

I'll make sure they're okay.

Whew. It feels like a storm passed us by...

Will they be okay?

Fujisawa's with them. They should be fine.
**[05:43] hay**
No point in worrying, anyway.
**[05:46] sora**
Yeah, guess not.
**[05:47] hay**
Anyway, let's get home and
prepare for our match!

Guess so! But you like them, too, right?

S-Sure.
**[06:01] tachi**
Hey.
**[06:03] tachi**
Aragaki, you need to get home and rest, too.
**[06:04] nag**
I just want to fine-tune a few things.

It's a whale...
**[06:14] aya**
But it's so fluffy...
***SIGN*** Let's play with Wei-Wei!

Oh, is that what whale sharks are about?

But sharks are fish!

Whales are mammals!
**[06:24] ele**
It's a rather novel design, isn't it?
**[06:27] con**
I've had enough of this kid stuff.
**[06:28] aya**
Hey, Wei-Wei! Pose!
**[06:34] both**
Cute!

Not what I'd call that!

It's actually creepy!

Fine, fine.

Go! Grab it!

Just one more time!

Everyone's waiting! Go on, move aside.

There's a place I want to go.

Speaking of which...

You, Gaku-senpai, and Hayama-senpai
are childhood friends, right?
**[12:19] sora**
Yeah. Together since elementary school.
**[12:22] yu**
It was Gaku-senpai who invited you
both to play badminton, right?
**[12:27] yu**
So...
**[12:27] sora**
It's the other way around.
**[12:29] sora**
It was Yukiteru-kun who started,
and he invited my brother and me.
**[12:38] yu**
I see...
**[12:41] sora**
Let's go.
**[12:44] yu**
There's a place I want to stop by first.

You wanted to play badminton, didn't you?

Connie...

It looks like we have to communicate

Because we're Uchika's children.

Um...

Good luck, Senpai.

Last one!

We can probably end things here.
**[15:08] nag**
A little more.
**[15:09] riko**
But...
**[15:10] nag**
If I'm not moving, I get edgy.
**[15:17] nag**
Because I remember that
I'm going to be fighting her.
**[15:21] nag**
The Hanesaki from that day.
**[15:32] nag**
Hanesaki-san's play style...
**[15:34] nag**
It's totally different from
that time at training camp.

That makes it 13-5.

*Ayano can handle more than this, I bet.*

Coach Tachibana was an

But I wonder why Ayano-chan...

Nope.

C'mon, let's play!

How about you?
**[04:51] aya**
Let's play. It'll be a dry run for the finals.

It's hard to get real practice

I bet you want to play me, too, Nagisa-chan.

Y-You won't know that until you play...
**[07:12] riko**
Nagisa... Um...
**[07:14] nagi**
I'm gonna stop by the gym teacher's office.
**[07:16] nagi**
Head on without me.
**[07:24] aya**
Aw, no fun.
**[07:38] nagi**
Excuse me.
**[07:40] tachi**
Hey.
**[07:44] nagi**
What is it?
**[07:47] mi**
How's your knee feeling?
**[07:50] nagi**
It's a little tense, but it isn't
affecting me on the court.
**[07:55] tachi**
You're already going to the Inter-High.
**[07:58] tachi**
You don't need to push yourself.
**[08:00] nagi**
Are you telling me to forfeit?
**[08:02] tachi**
You can wait to face Hanesaki
on the national stage.
**[08:06] nagi**
There's no guarantee we'll get matched up.
**[08:08] tachi**
If you keep winning,
you'll face her eventually.
**[08:11] tachi**
You're both capable of going that far.
**[08:15] tachi**
Don't get so fixated on every single match.
**[08:17] tachi**
Think about your future.
**[08:24] tachi**
Well, give it a few days' thought.
**[08:27] tachi**
Boy, am I hungry!
**[08:31] tachi**
Well, see you later!
**[08:37] miya**
I've told you before,
but he went really far.
**[08:41] nagi**
He was in the running
for the Olympics, right?
**[08:46] miya**
His knee was hurting, too.
**[08:48] miya**
There was a big international match...
**[08:51] miya**
But he was a shoe-in for the Olympics,
**[08:53] miya**
so he chose not to participate,
for his own health.
***SIGN*** Winner Mr. Tachibana Kentaro For winning the 50th All Japan High School Kanagawa Prefecture Men's Badminton Singles Preliminaries, you are hereby presented with this award.
**[08:56] miya**
Then another Japanese player
came out with a surprise win.
**[09:02] miya**
The slot went to that player instead.
**[09:05] miya**
That's when he retired.
**[09:08] nagi**
You mean...
**[09:10] nagi**
He was so worried about his knee,
he let his chance slip away?
**[09:14] nagi**
Then...
**[09:14] miya**
He's been through that same awful thing,
**[09:17] miya**
and he's still telling you to be careful.
**[09:22] miya**
I think he understands how
you feel better than anyone.
**[09:26] miya**
Try to understand, that's where
his advice is coming from.
**[09:36] riko**
What did Coach Tachibana want to talk about?
**[09:39] nagi**
My knee.
**[09:41] riko**
I see.
**[09:50] riko**
If you have a choice,
I think you shouldn't play.
**[09:56] riko**
Besides... Ayano-chan has been acting
more and more strangely these days.
**[10:01] riko**
I guess I don't really want
you two to play each other.
**[10:12] riko**
Sorry. I know it's still your choice.
**[10:16] riko**
Forget what I said.
**[10:41] uchi**

Great!

Raise your index finger a little more.
**[17:16] (Flashback) gaku**
Like this?
**[17:17] (Flashback) hay**
Yeah, yeah!
**[17:19] (Flashback) hay**
Now I'll teach you how to serve!
**[17:21] (Flashback) hay**
First off, there's a short
serve and a long serve.
**[17:37] (Flashback) coach**
Isehara!
**[17:39] (Flashback) coach**
What was that all about?
**[17:40] (Flashback) coach**
I told you to hit a round-the-head,
not a high backhand!
**[17:44] (Flashback) coach**
If you get in the habit of taking
it easy, you'll never get far!
**[17:46] (Flashback) gaku**
Okay.
**[17:47] (Flashback) coach**
Also, you're changing the direction
your racket faces too early.
**[17:50] (Flashback) coach**
You need to hold it until the last second,
or you won't beat strong opponents.
**[17:55] (Flashback) coach**
Your eye line, too.

If you always look in the direction
you want the shuttle to go...

*No matter what you tried,*
**[18:03] hay**

practicing on the way home.

I... I liked you!
**[21:05] hay**
For real?!
**[21:06] yu**
But I don't know if I do anymore.
**[21:10] yu**
I realized...
**[21:12] yu**
The reason I wanted to
encourage you might be...
**[21:16] yu**
...because you showed me the
point of playing badminton.
**[21:22] yu**
Um, it's hard to explain.
**[21:24] yu**
Um... I really have no talent at badminton,
**[21:29] yu**
so I thought there was
no point in playing it.
**[21:32] yu**
But you showed me that that doesn't matter.
**[21:35] yu**
That the struggle itself means something.
**[21:37] yu**
That that made it cool...
**[21:40] yu**
Do you think that means I like you?
**[21:44] hay**
Um...

**[22:26] aya**
Not that your knee would
make the real difference.

I'm playing in the finals.
**[22:38] tachi**
There's no need to rise to
Hanesaki's provocations.
**[22:43] nagi**
When I lost to her in the All-Japan Juniors,
**[22:46] nagi**
it's because I gave up in the end
and stopped chasing the shuttle.
**[22:51] nagi**
In that moment... I lost to myself.
**[22:56] nagi**
Fighting her means fighting
the person I was back then.
**[23:03] tachi**
Well, I figured you'd say that.
**[23:09] nagi**
But I won't push myself
past what I can take.
**[23:13] nagi**
So please, coach me!
**[23:17] tachi**
Give it your best.

I guess that's sorta why we're here, too.

R-Right...

to come cheer her on.
**[11:06] tomo**
Hey! That's not fair!
**[11:08] megu**
Yeah! All we did was
mention the day and time!
**[11:15] yuu**
By the way, I heard Nagisa's opponent
is a new student at our school.
**[11:20] ay**
Heya!
**[11:21] yuu**
Um...
**[11:23] aya**
I'm Hanesaki Ayano, and I'll
be playing Nagisa-chan.
**[11:26] aya**
Nice to meet you!
**[11:28] yuu**
I don't know about calling
your club senpai "-chan."
**[11:32] yuu**
Where is she, anyway?
**[11:57] miya**
I really messed up!
**[12:00] miya**
I should've gotten iced coffee instead.
**[12:02] miya**
It's almost August, after all.
**[12:05] miya**
Did you ever imagine a
finals pairing like this?
**[12:09] tachi**
No. I genuinely didn't expect
Aragaki to come this far so easily.
**[12:16] miya**
I really am glad I asked
you to coach, Kentaro-kun!
**[12:20] tachi**
Well, it's not about me.
**[12:22] tachi**
She's really worked hard.
**[12:25] tachi**
In these three months,
**[12:27] tachi**
she's gotten so much stronger
than I could have imagined.
**[12:30] miya**
You mean, her game's gotten better?
**[12:33] tachi**
That's part of it, but...
**[12:36] tachi**
I mainly mean her mental state.
**[12:38] tachi**
Lately, I feel how high her capacity is.
**[12:46] miya**
What about Ayano-chan?
**[12:50] tachi**
I had a feeling she'd make it this far.
**[12:53] tachi**
And she's certainly throwing
herself into the game...
**[12:57] tachi**
I guess she really does have a special gift.
**[13:02] miya**
Kentaro-kun.
**[13:04] miya**
You're always focused on
how you should work hard,
**[13:07] miya**
but it's odd how you don't
do the same to others.
**[13:11] miya**
You've coached Nagisa-chan with
that hard-work approach.
**[13:18] miya**
But you need to coach
Ayano-chan the same way.
**[13:22] miya**
No one's good at badminton from
the moment they pick up a racket.
**[13:27] miya**
You can't draw such a hard line
between effort and talent.
**[13:33] miya**
The Ayano-chan we see today has put in
the effort *she* needs, day after day,
**[13:38] miya**
in order to do what she does.
**[13:41] miya**
In that way, she's just like Nagisa-chan.
**[13:50] yu**
Ayanon.
**[13:51] yu**
Want to play me?
**[13:53] aya**
No, thanks.
**[13:57] ri**
Want to move on to smashes?
**[14:00] nagi**
No, I'm done for now.
**[14:03] nagi**
I don't want to show her too much.
**[14:10] riko**
Both of you, do your best, okay?
**[14:12] nagi**
Sure.
**[14:14] yu**
You work hard, too, Ayanon!
**[14:16] aya**
I don't need your concern.
**[14:17] yu**
Um, I didn't really mean it like...
**[14:20] aya**
It's not like encouragement
makes you play any better.
**[14:23] aya**
Wait. Will encouragement
help cheer up Nagisa-chan?
**[14:28] aya**
Then I guess you'd all better encourage her!
**[14:33] aya**
At least then, she might give me a decent—
**[14:35] ele**
Ayano, come here a minute.
**[14:44] ele**
Why are you saying those things?
**[14:45] ele**
They're trying to encourage you.
**[14:47] ele**
Why can't you be gracious and accept it?
**[14:50] aya**
I hate that stuff.
**[14:52] aya**
The whole "we're all buddies" act.
**[14:56] ele**
Are you having fun playing
badminton this way?
**[15:03] ele**
Ayano, what are you fighting for?
**[15:07] aya**
My mom's come home.
**[15:11] aya**
She said the reason she abandoned
me was to make me better!
**[15:16] aya**
Isn't that funny?
**[15:18] aya**
I feel so silly about
withdrawing like I did.
**[15:21] aya**
Now that I think of it, I'm so glad
I kept playing badminton!
**[15:25] aya**
Because back then, Mom abandoned me,
**[15:29] aya**
But this time, I can abandon Mom.
**[15:35] ele**
It's my fault.
**[15:38] ele**
Because I brought you to the badminton club.
***SIGN*** Kanagawa Prefecture Preliminaries A summer of challenge in shining wind
**[16:03] riko**
Nagisa? It's time.
**[16:05] nagi**
I'm going to win.
**[16:08] nagi**
I'm going to defeat myself.
**[16:18] riko**
*Nagisa...*
**[16:20] riko**
* You're no longer the person*
* you were back then.*
**[16:41] nagi**
You had that same expression
back then, didn't you?
**[16:46] aya**
Why do you play badminton, Nagisa-chan?
**[16:50] nagi**
Because—
**[16:50] aya**
Because you love badminton, right?
**[16:56] aya**
You people, I swear...
**[17:01] ann**
* The Kanagawa Prefecture Girls'*
* Singles Finals will now commence.*
**[17:06] ann**
* From Kitakomachi High School,*
* first-year Hanesaki Ayano-san.*
**[17:10] ann**
* Also from Kitakomachi High School,*
* third-year Aragaki Nagisa-san.*
**[17:16] nagi**
Hanesaki.
**[17:19] nagi**
Let's have some fun.
**[17:33] riko**
Don't push it too hard, okay?
**[17:41] ump**
Players to the court.
**[17:42] miya**
Is something wrong?
**[17:43] ele**
No.
**[17:45] ump**
On my right,
**[17:46] ump**
Hanesaki Ayano, Kitakomachi High School.
**[17:49] ump**
On my left,
**[17:50] ump**
Aragaki Nagisa, Kitakomachi High School.
**[17:53] ump**
Hanesaki to serve.
**[18:03] nagi**
* Back then, it wasn't just*
* that you were strong.*
**[18:08] nagi**
*I was too weak...*
**[18:11] nagi**
*...in spirit!*
**[18:13] ump**
Love-all. Play!
**[18:22] nagi**
* First, she'll make me*
* pick up some low shots,*
**[18:24] nagi**
* reading the trajectory from*
* the angle of my racket.*
**[18:27] kao**
Hanesaki-san, the master of condescension,
is playing cautiously.
**[18:33] kao**
She'll start by using lobs to send
her opponent to the rear court.
**[18:36] kao**
That will even out the rally's initiative.
**[18:40] nagi**
*It's okay. I'm staying calm.*
**[18:42] nagi**
*I see it.*
**[18:44] nagi**
*The entire court...*
**[18:45] nagi**
*I feel it!*
**[18:51] ump**
1-love.
**[18:54] hay**
A really quiet start, huh?
**[18:57] gaku**
But scoring that first point is
significant, psychologically.
**[19:01] kao**
She'd grown uncertain.
**[19:03] kao**
Hanesaki-san is the type who plans out
her match while observing her opponent.
**[19:08] kao**
She was probably hoping for a game
against an aggressive Aragaki-san.
**[19:13] kao**
But Aragaki-san realized that.
**[19:17] nagi**
* That should put the idea of*
* diagonal shots into her head.*
**[19:22] nagi**
* I want to get as far as*
* I can without using smashes.*
**[19:27] nagi**
*The minute her eyes adjust to my smashes,*
**[19:31] nagi**
*the game is basically over.*
**[19:33] nagi**
*So...*
**[19:34] yu**
A smash?!
**[19:37] sora**
No.
**[19:37] yu**
A cut?!
**[19:38] nagi**
* I'll use cuts and drops to*
* constantly keep her off-balance!*
**[19:42] kao**
She likely wants to keep
Hanesaki in the rear court.
**[19:47] nagi**
*She's on her guard...*
**[19:49] nagi**
*...for a smash at point-blank range.*
**[19:52] nagi**
The more she drives her opponent
back while she moves forward,
**[19:55] nagi**
the more Hanesaki-san is in control.
**[19:57] nagi**
The more they maintain a
back-and-forth from the midcourt,
**[20:01] nagi**
the more Aragaki-san is in control.
**[20:03] nagi**
From Hanesaki-san's point of view,
**[20:05] nagi**
the main question is when to move forward.
**[20:08] nagi**
A simple arrangement would
be a series of repeated shots
**[20:11] nagi**
to the rear court to focus her
opponent's attention there,
**[20:14] nagi**
then use a cut presented as a smash...
**[20:17] nagi**
...to catch her off guard, paralyzing her.
**[20:20] nagi**
That would be ideal.
**[20:21] nagi**
She would get perfectly good
ace shots that way,
**[20:24] nagi**
and by making her opponent lift up low shots,
**[20:26] nagi**
Hanesaki-san can create a
match where she's in control.
**[20:29] nagi**
* But you can't go with the*
* simple arrangement, can you?*
**[20:32] nagi**
* Because you never know when*
* I'll throw in a smash.*
**[20:36] nagi**
* So your mind has started*
* making the game complicated.*
**[20:39] nagi**
* It's filling up with more*
* options than you need!*
**[20:43] aya**
*A smash!*
**[20:45] aya**
*She threw me off...*
**[20:46] nagi**
*And what's producing all those options...*
**[20:49] nagi**
*...is your uncertainty!*
**[20:50] aya**
*A smash?*
**[20:51] aya**
*A cut?*
**[20:58] nagi**
Yes!
**[21:01] ump**
2-love.
**[21:02] hay**
That was completely unexpected.
**[21:04] gaku**
Yeah.
**[21:33] ele**
It's been a while.
**[21:35] uchi**
Um...
**[21:36] ele**
I'm Fujisawa Elena.
**[21:38] ele**
I've been Ayano's friend since kindergarten.
**[21:41] uchi**
Oh!
**[21:43] uchi**
Elena-chan, it has been a while!
**[21:49] ele**
Um... It might seem a little weird,
me coming to you now...
**[22:00] ele**
I want to talk to you about Ayano.
**[22:09] nagi**
*That went great.*
**[22:10] nagi**
* But those first two had*
* the element of surprise.*
**[22:13] nagi**
*The real trouble is yet to come.*
**[22:18] aya**
I didn't expect such sneaky
badminton from you, Nagisa-chan.
**[22:25] aya**
You don't want me to see your smash?

*A smash?*
**[00:22] aya**
*A cut?*
**[00:45] (Flashback) uchi**
How are you feeling?
**[00:51] (Flashback) aya**
I'm okay now.
**[00:53] (Flashback) uchi**
I see. That's good.
**[00:58] (Flashback) aya**
I wonder what you'll get me
on your trip this time...
**[01:01] (Flashback) aya**
The chocolates you brought
last time were so good...
**[01:13] (Flashback) aya**
I didn't really lose.
**[01:17] (Flashback) aya**
I mean, I beat her every other time.
**[01:21] (Flashback) aya**
I was sick of it already,
so I stopped playing hard.
**[01:25] (Flashback) aya**
But she got so worked up...
**[01:30] (Flashback) aya**
So I didn't really lose.
**[01:50] (Flashback) aya**
You're... coming back, right?
**[01:57] (Flashback) aya**
Mom!
**[02:04] (Flashback) aya**
Don't go...
**[02:08] aya**
I didn't expect such sneaky
badminton from you, Nagisa-chan.
**[02:14] aya**
You don't want me to see your smash?
**[02:19] nag**
*Stay calm.*
**[02:20] nag**
* If she riles you, you'll*
* lose control of the game.*
**[02:33] kao**
She's going force her way through?!
**[02:42] kao**
It curved?
**[02:43] kao**
As if it... ran away from her racket...
***SIGN*** #12 "Step Forward Already!"
**[04:23] ele**
Why did you leave Ayano behind?
**[04:28] uchi**
Elena-chan.
**[04:29] uchi**
You've been with Ayano all this time, then?
**[04:35] uchi**
Thank you.
**[04:41] uchi**
I wanted to develop Ayano's
talent as much as I could.
**[05:01] (Flashback) uchi**
Okay, that's all for today.
**[05:03] (Flashback) uchi**
Aw, no fair!
**[05:06] (Flashback) uchi**
More!
**[05:08] (Flashback) uchi**
If you want to play more,
**[05:09] (Flashback) uchi**
you'll have to get a whole lot better!
**[05:12] (Flashback) uchi**
Mom!
**[05:14] (Flashback) uchi**
Mom, that's not fair!
**[05:21] (Flashback) uchi**
She must be going at it.
**[05:33] uchi**
She started doing badminton for my sake.
**[05:39] ele**
And that's why you ran away from Ayano?
**[05:52] ump**
1-2!
**[05:54] sasa**
Did you see that, Kaoruko-chan?!
**[05:56] sasa**
It was all like *vroom*, then *zwee!*
**[05:59] kao**
It was a cut smash.
**[06:00] sasa**
But *my* cut smashes don't curve like that!
**[06:04] kao**
That's likely because you're right-handed.
**[06:07] kao**
What do you mean?
**[06:11] nagi**
*I need to turn things around.*
**[06:14] coach**
Not good.
**[06:15] coach**
Hanesaki's going to notice that uncertainty.
**[06:25] miki**
It curved again!
**[06:27] kao**
The feathers on a shuttle are
arranged counterclockwise.
**[06:31] kao**
So a cut smash from a southpaw
gives the shuttle a wild spin.
**[06:37] kao**
It's called a crossfire.
**[06:41] nagi**
*If I let this bother me,*
**[06:43] nagi**
*I'll lose even more initiative.*
**[06:47] nagi**
*One more time... Go on the attack!*
**[06:55] nagi**
She's powering through!
**[06:57] aya**
*It's really stretched out.*
**[07:16] miki**
Did she just hit it while jumping backwards?
**[07:20] miki**
By taking her feet off the ground,
she softened the repellent force,
**[07:24] miki**
while also giving herself enough
space to return the shot...
**[07:28] miki**
What an absolute monster she is!
**[07:31] miki**
She didn't just make that
move up on the fly.
**[07:35] miki**
Hanesaki has practiced
that move in the past.
**[07:39] nagi**
Sweat, please.
**[07:42] nagi**
* I won't be surprised by*
* any move you bring at me.*
**[07:47] nagi**
* I was never under the delusion*
* that I could overwhelm you!*
**[07:52] nagi**
Bring it on!
**[07:54] aya**
*I'm better than Connie.*
**[07:56] aya**
*Better than Nagisa-chan.*
**[07:58] aya**
*But I'm never coming back!*
**[08:04] uchi**
I might be an awful parent.
**[08:06] uchi**
I put badminton over my
relationship with my daughter.
**[08:11] uchi**
But I wanted her to see...
**[08:14] uchi**
what having great skill
can open your eyes to.
**[08:17] ele**
What are you talking about?
**[08:20] ele**
It's just a sport, isn't it?
**[08:23] uchi**
Only a very small number of people
can make a living playing sports.
**[08:28] uchi**
And even if you make it your career,
one injury can ruin everything.
**[08:33] uchi**
Dedicating your life to a sport
hardly seems worthwhile, right?
**[08:38] uchi**
But feeling your body
move any way you want it,
**[08:41] uchi**
controlling the shuttle like
an extension of yourself...
**[08:47] uchi**
Throwing everything you have
against a difficult opponent...
**[08:52] uchi**
I feel like there is purpose
to be found in those moments.
**[09:11] uchi**
Game point!
**[09:13] uchi**
Hanesaki-san seems more
determined than usual.
**[09:16] kao**
She does, but...
**[09:19] kao**
Aragaki-san's calm is equally intriguing.
**[09:23] riko**
*Nagisa!*
**[09:24] riko**
*Do your best!*
**[09:31] nagi**
*Go on the attack!*
**[09:35] nagi**
She returned it!
**[09:46] nagi**
Game!
**[09:47] nagi**
First game won by Hanesaki!
**[09:49] nagi**
21-16!
**[09:56] nagi**
She's outpacing me.
**[09:58] riko**
No way!
**[09:59] riko**
You played great!
**[10:00] riko**
But is your knee okay?
**[10:04] nagi**
Yeah, it's fine.
**[10:10] nagi**
A-Ayanon...
**[10:14] nagi**
*I'm her senpai, but I'm terrified.*
**[10:18] nagi**
G-Good work in the first set!
**[10:20] nagi**
Thanks.
**[10:22] nagi**
How are you feeling?
**[10:27] nagi**
Fine, I guess.
**[10:29] nagi**
Nagisa-chan's been playing sneaky,
**[10:32] nagi**
but there's no way I'll lose.
**[10:35] nagi**
I knew she couldn't compare to Mom.
**[10:44] uchi**
I know I've done something unforgivable.
**[10:50] uchi**
But I have no regrets.
**[10:54] uchi**
Right now, she's on the
verge of taking a new step.
**[11:00] uchi**
That's thanks to you, and the members...
**[11:02] uchi**
...of her club, who stayed by her side.
**[11:08] uchi**
Let's head back.
**[11:09] uchi**
I bet they're having a great match.
**[11:14] ump**
Second game!
**[11:16] ump**
Love-all! Play!
**[11:19] ump**
*If I take this set, I win the game.*
**[11:23] nag**
*Let's have some fun.*
**[11:30] nag**
*She's still not smashing it!*
**[11:31] nag**
*Then I guess I'll do it!*
**[11:34] nag**
*Enough already!*
**[11:48] nag**
Aragaki's really hanging in there.
**[11:52] nag**
It's become a really good match.
**[11:55] nag**
Yes. Hanesaki's winning for now, but...
**[11:59] nag**
She's been forced into a style of
badminton she doesn't usually play.
**[12:03] nag**
That's true. Hanesaki-san is attacking,
**[12:06] nag**
and Aragaki-san is on defense.
**[12:08] nag**
It's like the opposite of
their usual play styles.
**[12:22] sasa**
Huh? She didn't smash it?
**[12:29] nag**
Yes!
**[12:32] nag**
She's getting desperate.
**[12:35] nag**
What's wrong with Ayanon?
**[12:38] kao**
She misunderstands what
terrifies her opponent.
**[12:42] kao**
The most frightening way
to face her is in a rally.
**[12:47] kao**
She uses her unusually fast return speed...
**[12:49] kao**
...to steal away her opponent's
ability to think.
**[12:51] kao**
And if you employ large
clears to prevent that,
**[12:59] kao**
she'll use shot placement to
rob you of your stamina.
**[13:04] kao**
But Aragaki-san has power
that rivals a male player.
**[13:11] kao**
15-all!
**[13:12] kao**
She's been freely offering up her stamina...
**[13:16] kao**
...to protect that which she
can't afford to lose!
**[13:20] kao**
Finally!
**[13:21] kao**
She caught up!
**[13:23] kao**
Go, Nagisa!
**[13:26] aya**
*There's no way I'll lose.*
**[13:29] aya**
* I could never lose to*
* someone like Nagisa-chan!*
**[13:39] aya**
*Because this time, I'm going to abandon Mom!*
**[13:45] aya**
She returned it!
**[13:46] aya**
Not much curve!
**[13:47] aya**
Hanesaki-san's swings are
growing less forceful!
**[13:51] aya**
*I'll retake the lead now!*
**[14:02] aya**
16-15!
**[14:04] aya**
Nagisa!
**[14:05] aya**
She pulled out her jumping smash!
**[14:08] aya**
What ideal timing!
**[14:10] aya**
Both for the score and psychologically.
**[14:13] aya**
What Aragaki-san traded
her stamina to protect...
**[14:18] aya**
Her ability to think!
**[14:22] ara**
Let's have some fun, Hanesaki.
**[14:27] aya**
*Another short.*
**[14:29] aya**
*Split second too late.*
**[14:30] aya**
*Make it big.*
**[14:31] aya**
Hanesaki's faster-than-normal return speed...
**[14:34] aya**
...lets her catch and return
shuttles from a position...
**[14:36] aya**
...closer to the net than most players would.
**[14:40] aya**
But...
**[14:44] aya**
If she won't actually step forward,
that changes everything.
**[14:49] ishi**
She's out of gas?
**[14:53] kao**
I can guess Hanesaki-san's expression
right now without looking.
**[15:01] kao**
It's when things are hard that
you need to step forward!
**[15:04] kao**
Kaoruko-chan?
**[15:06] kao**
Shut your damn mouth.
**[15:08] kao**
I don't need you to tell me. I'm going to.
**[15:17] kao**
Lucky me.
**[15:31] kao**
Got it!
**[15:36] kao**
Yes!
**[15:37] kao**
What?! That was in!
**[15:39] kao**
It was out.
**[15:52] kao**
Hey, she's made it to game point.
**[15:55] kao**
Not using her smash in the
first set is paying off now.
**[15:59] kao**
Ayanon...
**[16:07] kao**
Yes!
**[16:08] kao**
Game!
**[16:09] kao**
Second game won by Aragaki!
**[16:11] kao**
21-18!
**[16:16] riko**
Nagisa!
**[16:18] nag**
Hey... I just caught up, that's all.
**[16:21] riko**
Yeah, that's right.
**[16:23] riko**
Let's see, you need a drink...
**[16:28] riko**
Aragaki.
**[16:29] riko**
Let me check.
**[16:32] riko**
How's this?
**[16:33] ara**
It's fine.
**[16:36] ara**
And this?
**[16:37] ara**
Fine.
**[16:38] ara**
And this?
**[16:39] ara**
It's fine!
**[16:41] ara**
Promise me one thing.
**[16:44] ara**
If you start feeling like you can't go on,
**[16:47] ara**
you don't have to say anything.
**[16:49] ara**
Just look over at me.
**[16:51] ara**
Then I'll throw in the towel.
**[16:55] ara**
Thanks.
**[16:57] ara**
But I might forget and look
your way after scoring a point.
**[17:04] tachi**
I won't count those.
**[17:12] yu**
Ayanon...
**[17:13] aya**
No need to force yourself.
**[17:17] aya**
You're on Nagisa-chan's side, right?
**[17:21] aya**
You think I deserve to lose, right?
**[17:26] yu**
That's not...
**[17:30] aya**
Leave me alone.
**[17:31] aya**
It's annoying.
**[17:36] aya**
One minute!
**[17:41] aya**
Final game!
**[17:42] aya**
Love-all! Play!
**[17:45] nagi**
*It's the last stage.*
**[17:47] nagi**
*Let's have some fun!*
**[18:05] nagi**
*I'll be abandoned again.*
**[18:08] nagi**
*Mom!*
**[18:14] nagi**
*If I can't get good,*
**[18:16] nagi**
*I'll become useless to everyone.*
**[18:19] nagi**
*If I don't win,*
**[18:21] nagi**
*I'll become someone that nobody needs.*
**[18:28] (Flashback) nagi**
I'm happy enough just
being in class with you.
**[18:32] (Flashback) nagi**
Took you long enough.
**[18:34] (Flashback) nagi**
Sorry!
**[18:36] (Flashback) nagi**
I'll be the team manager!
**[18:40] (Flashback) nagi**
I mean, I wish it'd been
full of hot guys, but...
**[18:45] (Flashback) nagi**
What can you do?
**[18:47] (Flashback) nagi**
Come on, Elena...
**[18:51] (Flashback) nagi**
Go on!
**[18:55] (Flashback) nagi**
You look great, Ayanon!
**[18:57] (Flashback) nagi**
A-Ayanon?
**[18:59] (Flashback) nagi**
It's really nice, isn't it?
**[19:01] (Flashback) nagi**
It feels like we're part of the team.
**[19:09] (Flashback) nagi**
A team...
**[19:15] (Flashback) nagi**
I want to win and be part of the team.
**[19:21] (Flashback) nagi**
She said the reason she abandoned
me was to make me better!
**[19:26] (Flashback) nagi**
Isn't that funny?
**[19:28] (Flashback) nagi**
I feel so silly about
withdrawing like I did.
**[19:30] (Flashback) nagi**
Now that I think of it, I'm so glad
I kept playing badminton!
**[19:35] (Flashback) nagi**
Because back then, Mom abandoned me,
**[19:39] (Flashback) nagi**
But this time, I can abandon Mom.
**[19:44] (Flashback) nagi**
It's my fault.
**[19:48] (Flashback) nagi**
Because I brought you to the badminton club.
**[19:56] (Flashback) nagi**
Right now, she's on the
verge of taking a new step.
**[20:02] nagi**
8-love.
**[20:05] nagi**
Please exchange your racket.
**[20:14] nagi**
Please exchange...
**[20:18] nagi**
This match is over.
**[20:29] nagi**
Don't throw the game, okay?
**[20:36] nagi**
I wanted to play in the finals, too.
**[20:40] nagi**
I wanted to go to nationals, too.
**[20:44] nagi**
You're fighting for us
out there, too, you know?
**[20:50] nagi**
She's right.
**[20:52] nagi**
Ayanon, can't you just...
**[20:54] nagi**
Ayanon, can't you just...
**[20:57] nagi**
Just do your best!
**[20:59] nagi**
You'll get an earful from me if you lose!
**[21:01] nagi**
Get in there, Hanesaki!
**[21:05] nagi**
Ayano! Do your best!
**[21:16] nagi**
It's nice to have a team, huh?
**[21:20] nagi**
But here on this court,
it's just you and me.
**[21:24] nagi**
Nobody else can enter it.
**[21:27] nagi**
This world here is just for you and me.
**[21:31] nagi**
Let's play some badminton.
**[21:56] nagi**
Damn you!
**[22:06] nagi**
She hit it... with her right hand?

**[02:22] nag**
Damn you!
**[02:32] sasa**
She hit it... with her right hand?
**[02:36] ump**
9-love.
**[02:37] kao**
As always, with her, it's anything goes!
**[02:41] nag**
* She noticed my placement*
* and switched racket hands?*
**[02:45] ump**
Serve.
**[02:54] aya**
*Why?*
**[02:57] nag**
Yes!
**[02:58] ump**
10-love.
**[03:01] aya**
*Why am I fighting?*
**[03:12] nag**
*Did she intentionally...?*
**[03:27] sasa**
Another easy return!
**[03:28] kao**
She's inviting it.
**[03:33] kura**
She hesitated.
**[03:34] kura**
She's losing ground.
**[03:37] aya**
*Why am I still playing badminton?*
**[03:43] ump**
1-10.
**[03:45] sora**
She put one on the board!
**[03:47] yu**
And that's just the start!
**[03:48] riko**
Don't sweat it, Nagisa!
**[03:50] riko**
Get that next point!
**[03:51] nag**
I need to be more confident.
**[03:55] miya**
Did Hanesaki-san's stance change earlier?
**[03:59] tachi**
Zero position...
**[04:01] tachi**
She used her right hand on
that earlier play, too.
**[04:04] tachi**
I suspect she's always been ambidextrous.
**[04:07] miya**
Really?
**[04:08] miya**
Why did she hide it?
**[04:10] tachi**
I don't think she hid it, exactly.
**[04:13] tachi**
Playing with both hands means
you lose time switching,
**[04:17] tachi**
and it comes with the risk
of directional imprecision.
**[04:20] tachi**
But she decided to do it...
**[04:22] tachi**
...because she's giving all she's got.
**[04:26] nagi**
*I'm going to get the next point!*
**[04:34] yu**
She attacked first!
**[04:37] miya**
I think Hanesaki-san is in the zone again!
**[04:40] tachi**
Yes, and Aragaki's losing steam.
**[04:46] tachi**
The momentum has reversed.
**[04:48] sasa**
That looks like...
**[04:50] kao**
The swift rallies that steal her
opponent's ability to think...
**[04:53] kao**
Aragaki-san doesn't have the strength
left to regain control with sheer power!
**[05:24] nagi**
*I need to change this momentum!*

**[05:32] hay**
It was a ten-point difference
just minutes ago!
**[05:38] riko**
Nagisa!
**[05:41] nag**
Can I take a sweat break?
**[05:44] riko**
Okay.
**[05:47] riko**
Stay calm.
**[05:48] riko**
What you're doing hasn't changed.
**[05:52] ump**
Please return to the court.
**[05:58] riko**
Nagisa. Don't forget, okay?
**[06:08] nagi**
Focus on myself first.
**[06:13] sasa**
Another lift!
**[06:19] sora**
Yes!
**[06:19] yu**
She's caught up!
**[06:20] ump**
17-all.
**[06:29] kura**
It's safe to assume Ayano's
figured out her smashes.
**[06:34] kura**
What will you do now, Aragaki?
**[06:37] nag**
Bring it on!
**[06:52] hay**
How do they have so much stamina left?!
**[06:59] aya**
*I see now.*
**[07:10] sasa**
She finally returned it!
**[07:23] aya**
* Right now... the reason*
* I'm playing badminton...*
**[07:34] aya**
*...is because I want...*
**[07:38] aya**
*...to beat Nagisa-chan!*
**[07:53] nag**
*Hanesaki...*
**[07:55] nag**
*You're incredible.*
**[07:58] nag**
*When people use the word "gifted,"*
**[08:00] nag**
*they're talking about people like you.*
**[08:05] nag**
*But...*
**[08:06] sora**
She's...
**[08:07] yu**
...caught up again!
**[08:16] tachi**
She's reached her limit.
**[08:18] tachi**
I think what she has is patellar tendinitis.
**[08:21] tachi**
Also known as jumper's knee, it's an
inflammation that comes from overuse.
**[08:26] tachi**
If not treated properly,
it can kill a player's career.
**[08:33] riko**
Wait, please. Just a little longer.
**[08:40] riko**
Right now, Nagisa...
**[08:44] nagi**
*I don't want to lose!*
**[08:46] boy**
How the hell can she keep moving like that?
**[08:49] gaku**
She's done more training runs than anyone.
**[08:55] nagi**
*Even if it's mundane...*
**[09:03] nag**
Yes!
**[09:03] nag**
*Even if it's ugly...*
**[09:10] ump**
20 match point 19.
**[09:13] riko**
It's here. The match point...
**[09:18] nagi**
*I...*
**[09:21] nagi**
*...will beat you!*
**[09:28] yu**
I don't know anymore.
Who should I root for?!
**[09:31] sora**
Both of them!
**[09:37] nagi**
Got you!
**[09:44] riko**
Did... she do it?
**[09:56] ump**
20-all.
**[09:59] ele**
Deuce...
**[10:01] hay**
It'll be tough for either one
to get two points ahead.
**[10:10] ump**
21 match point 20.
**[10:13] kao**
A cut smash where she least expects it.
**[10:17] kao**
Tricky.
**[10:19] sasa**
Now it's Hanesaki-san's match point!
**[10:23] kao**
Just finish her off already!
**[10:34] tachi**
That's impressive grit.
**[10:37] tachi**
She's responding in kind.
**[10:39] aya**
*Okay, Nagisa-chan.*
**[10:41] aya**
*See if you...*
**[10:43] aya**
*...can catch this one!*
**[10:50] yu**
There it is!
**[10:55] aya**
*This'll do it!*
**[11:00] riko**
Nagisa!
**[11:05] ump**
21-all.
**[11:07] kao**
She was a second too late
in stepping to the net!
**[11:10] kao**
Hanesaki-san has gone past her limit, too!
**[11:16] aya**
It's frustrating.
**[11:18] aya**
So frustrating...
**[11:23] aya**
...that it's making it fun!

I'm keeping up badminton in college, so...

I still have six months!
**[19:29] tachi**
Hey!
**[19:35] riko**
Nagisa!
**[19:36] tachi**
It was patellar tendinitis after all.
**[19:40] yu**
Patellar tendinitis?
**[19:42] yu**
The X-rays revealed small tears
in the tendon under the kneecap.
**[19:49] riko**
Does that mean...
**[19:51] tachi**
Don't worry.
**[19:52] tachi**
The symptoms are minor.
**[19:54] tachi**
It's nothing to worry about for the moment.

I'm glad.
**[19:59] riko**
I'm so glad!
**[20:01] nag**
I told you it was nothing!
**[20:04] riko**
But still...
**[20:05] tachi**
It's a relief, but right now, you need rest.
**[20:09] tachi**
Skip any practices that might work
your legs too hard for now...

Let's play.

Well, it's not like you'll
beat me next time, anyway.

This bum knee should more or less
bring me down to your level.
