**[00:00] Anne**
Cool Kurusu!
**[00:02] Anne**
Cheer me on!
**[00:03] Crowd**
Go for it, Anne-chan!
**[00:06] Anne**
Cool Kurusu!
**[00:13] Pa**
Ready.
**[00:29] Crowd**
Anne-chan!
**[00:33] N**
Man, she really is amazing.
**[00:35] A**
*Cool Kurusu!*
**[00:38] Crowd**
*Nice, Anne-chan!*
**[00:40] A**
*Thanks-kurusu!*
**[00:43] K**
Awesome.
**[00:45] N**
Isn't she?
**[00:46] N**
That's Kurusu Anne-chan,
the Climbing Princess.
**[00:50] K**
"Princess"?
**[00:51] S**
She's a high schooler, like us, but she's a pro.
**[00:54] S**
She's won several international competitions,
making her the sport's wunderkind.
**[00:59] N**
She's climbing's #1 heartthrob!
How I want to be her!
**[01:02] K**
You want to be *that?*
**[01:04] J**
Well, she is highly skilled.
**[01:07] S**
That she is.
**[01:09] S**
Anyway, we have the Spring
Climbing Championships tomorrow.
**[01:12] S**
Let's do our best to bring
it home for Hanamiya.
**[01:15] N**
Yeah!
**[01:18] S**
Am I going deaf? I can't hear you.
**[01:20] N**
Let's do this thing!
**[01:22] J**
Y-Yeah...
**[01:23] K**
Yeah, let's do it.

**[03:02] Pa**
Welcome to the Chiba Spring
Climbing Championships.
**[03:05] Pa**
Today, we have the lead competition.
**[03:07] K**
There they are.
**[03:10] Chinari**
This is your first competition, isn't it?
**[03:14] Chinari**
No need to be afraid.
**[03:16] Chinari**
Everyone here is a
bird of the same feather.
**[03:18] Chinari**
But you... You seem different.
**[03:23] Chinari**
I get the feeling you'll be very amusing.
**[03:27] Chinari**
Don't be nervous, now.
**[03:29] N**
Hey, Iwamine!
**[03:31] N**
Keep your legs off our newbie!
**[03:33] Chin**
It's been too long, Nono-chan.
I'm glad to see you're as cute as ever.
**[03:37] S**
Did you get the
wrong address, Iwamine-san?
**[03:41] S**
I'm pretty sure Kurikawa High
isn't in this region.
**[03:44] Chin**
Oh, this is very much the right place.
**[03:46] Chin**
I'm here to see the oh-so-adorable
looks on your faces when you fall.
**[03:53] N**
Too bad for you! I'm gonna
send everything in my way!
**[03:57] Chin**
I wouldn't mind that, either.
**[03:58] Chin**
I love seeing your face
overcome with joy, too.
**[04:02] Chin**
Toodles.
**[04:03] N**
*I* never wanna see your face again!
**[04:04] K**
Who was that, Jun-chan?
**[04:07] J**
Iwamine Chinari. Runner-up in lead
at the All-Japan Invitationals last year.
**[04:10] K**
Wait, *her?!* Number Two in Japan?
**[04:13] J**
Yeah, her. Her skill is the real deal.
**[04:16] J**
By the way, the captain was the winner.
**[04:18] K**
What? Wow!
**[04:20] K**
A-And I'm on her team?
**[04:23] K**
I'm starting to get even more nervous...
**[04:23] N**
You'll be fine!
**[04:25] N**
Just relax and leave everything to us.
**[04:28] S**
Hanamiya is unmatched in this zone.
**[04:30] J**
Our captain is the reigning individual champion,
**[04:33] J**
and Nono-senpai was the runner-up.
**[04:35] K**
It was a one-two finish for Hanamiya?
**[04:37] S**
Individual goes without saying,
**[04:40] S**
but we're also looking to be
the champion team this year.
**[04:42] K**
The champion team...
**[04:44] N**
We were the only members last year.
**[04:46] N**
Even a one-two finish wasn't enough.
**[04:49] S**
Team rankings are based on the
top three individual scores.
**[04:54] N**
And this year, we have four members!
**[04:57] S**
Of course, that means your result
will matter a lot, Konomi-san.
**[05:00] K**
My result matters?
**[05:02] N**
Konomin, you'll be fine
as long as you observe.
**[05:05] J**
What route will you take?
Which moves will you use?
**[05:08] J**
Making the right game plan
will make all the difference.
**[05:13] K**
Uh, I only climbed for the
first time yesterday...
**[05:15] S**
Jun's absolutely right.
Top climbers conquer walls twice.
**[05:20] S**
Once on sight, and once with their bodies.
**[05:23] N**
You can do it, Konomin.
**[05:25] S**
Konomi-san?
**[05:26] S**
Konomi-san!
**[05:27] S**
Let's enjoy this, okay?
**[05:29] K**
O-Okay...
**[05:32] Pa**
Hang in there!
***SIGN*** Zonal High School Spring Climbing Championships
**[05:33] J**
Like I told you yesterday,
**[05:35] J**
lead climbing involves clipping ropes
into carabiners anchored to the wall.
**[05:39] K**
We're competing on how high we can
go within the allotted time, right?
**[05:43] J**
Yeah. The prelims have two problems: A and B.
**[05:46] J**
The time limit is six minutes each.
**[05:49] J**
If you fall, you're done.
**[05:51] K**
No retries, huh?
**[05:53] J**
Nono-senpai's up.
**[05:55] Pa**
Next up is the first climber
from the powerhouse Hanamiya Girls',
**[05:57] Pa**
Sugiura Nonoka!
**[05:59] Pa**
She's starting the prelims with Problem B.
**[06:02] J**
Watch her attempt closely.
**[06:11] K**
Say, Jun-chan.
**[06:13] K**
Don't shorter people have
a disadvantage in climbing?
**[06:17] J**
They do, but they can compete just fine
if they have something to cancel it out.
**[06:27] N**
Whoo! A pied à main makes
the hip joint feel so good!
**[06:32] N**
Now...
**[06:33] J**
Flexibility is one of the most important
traits you can have in climbing.
**[06:37] J**
Having a supple body
opens up a lot of options.
**[06:41] N**
Flexy Nonoka explodes up the wall!
**[06:44] N**
How d'ya like that?
**[06:46] Pa**
Sugiura successfully sends Prelim Problem B!
**[06:49] K**
Wow, Nono-san!
**[06:50] Pa**
Meanwhile, last year's champion,
**[06:51] J**
Captain's starting with Problem A.
**[06:52] Pa**
Hanamiya Girls' Yotsuba Sayo,
is starting with Problem A!
**[07:00] S**
*From this thin hold,*
**[07:02] S**
* I make two moves to that*
* easy one and take a rest.*
**[07:05] S**
* After that, I clip my rope*
* to that carabiner...*
**[07:08] K**
Wow. Her movements are so pretty.
**[07:11] J**
Right?
**[07:12] J**
She has a clear vision of
how to solve this problem.
**[07:15] Pa**
Yotsuba sends the problem with
three whole minutes remaining!
**[07:19] Pa**
The Princess of Lead does it again!
**[07:20] Pa**
Was this problem too easy for her?
**[07:25] S**
That's one down.
**[07:27] N**
Welcome back, Sayo-chin.
**[07:29] J**
Well done.
**[07:30] K**
* Wow. Both Nono-san and the*
* captain were amazing.*
**[07:34] K**
*And I'm on their team.*
**[07:39] K**
*I'm gonna go for it, too... I have to!*
**[07:43] K**
*I'll be attempting Problem A first.*
**[07:46] K**
* I've gotten a decent read*
* on most of the holds.*
**[07:49] K**
*All that's left is...*
**[07:50] Akane**
Let me guess.
**[07:51] Akane**
You're thinking about how to
get past that furmidable crux?
**[07:55] Akane**
Are you a first-year? Is this
your first lead competition?
**[07:59] ---**
Ah, yes.
**[08:00] Ak**
Oh, sorry. I'm Uchimura Akane
from Matsuhashi High.
**[08:05] Ak**
And you?
**[08:06] K**
I'm Kasahara Konomi.
**[08:09] Ak**
Konomi-chan, huh?
**[08:10] Ak**
It's a pawleasure to meet you!
**[08:11] Ak**
So, that crux looks difficult.
**[08:14] Ak**
It needs some kind of jump,
like a lunge or a double dyno.
**[08:19] Ak**
Look.
**[08:19] Ak**
There's a bunch of chalk on top of that hold.
**[08:22] Ak**
Looks like we have to get our hands up there.
**[08:24] K**
*You have to jump for that crux?*
**[08:27] K**
*But I was thinking...*
**[08:30] Ak**
Are you feeling a ton of purressure?
**[08:34] Ak**
I've seen so many girls wilt
under it and quit climbing.
**[08:40] Ak**
If that happened to you,
it would be a cat-astrophe.
**[08:42] Ak**
Let's both do our best to send the problem!
**[08:47] K**
Yeah!
**[08:49] G**
Kasahara-san from Hanamiya Girls'?
**[08:52] G**
Please get ready.
**[08:53] K**
Oh, okay.
**[08:55] K**
Thank you, Akane-san.
**[08:57] Ak**
Don't mention it. See mew later!
**[09:02] Pa**
Next up, making her debut,
Kasahara Konomi from Hanamiya Girls'!
**[09:06] K**
*It's time.*
**[09:08] N**
Konomin!
**[09:10] J**
Good luck!
**[09:10] S**
Konomi-san!
**[09:12] K**
*They're cheering me on!*
**[09:15] K**
*I need to live up to their expectations!*
**[09:19] Pa**
Kasahara's climbing rapidly
using dynamic moves!
**[09:24] J**
What's she doing?
**[09:26] S**
Why is she doing all these jumps?
**[09:29] S**
Her analytic skills are supposed
to be her biggest asset.
**[09:33] S**
She's going to run out of gas like this.
**[09:39] K**
* Is it because I'm in an official competition?*
* I can't generate enough power.*
**[09:42] K**
* But I'm part of the Hanamiya*
* Climbing team, too.*
**[09:47] K**
* I can't let a crux, a problem*
* like this, beat me!*
**[09:50] J**
What is that idiot thinking?!
**[09:56] Pa**
Whoa, Kasahara has fallen!
**[10:01] J**
Hey, what happened to you?
**[10:03] N**
Are you okay, Konomin?
**[10:05] J**
You were climbing kinda strange.
**[10:08] N**
You must've been nervous because
it's your debut competition.
**[10:12] J**
That girl...
**[10:13] N**
It happens! It still happens to me, even!
**[10:18] K**
Sorry, Jun-chan.
**[10:20] J**
Huh? Why are you apologizing to me?
**[10:22] K**
I'm representing the
Hanamiya Climbing Team...
**[10:25] J**
Since yesterday, yeah.
**[10:27] K**
Yeah.
**[10:28] J**
Hey, did a girl from another school
put strange ideas in your head?
**[10:33] J**
The one who speaks in obnoxious cat puns.
**[10:36] J**
I knew it.
**[10:38] J**
That jerk's still a disgrace to climbing.
**[10:44] K**
Sorry.
**[10:45] J**
You have nothing to apologize for!
**[10:47] K**
But I'm supposed to be representing
the amazing Hanamiya team.
**[10:52] J**
Again, you only joined yesterday.
**[10:54] K**
That's not it. I just feel
like maybe I don't belong...
**[11:00] J**
Konomi!
**[11:01] J**
By twisting one leg inward,
you can raise your waist position.
**[11:05] J**
That gives you a longer reach
and lets you get to farther holds.
**[11:09] J**
This is a basic move called
the Egyptian, or drop knee.
**[11:13] K**
Egyptian...
**[11:14] J**
Every hold has a mostly optimal solution,
**[11:17] J**
and moves are basically climbing formulas.
**[11:20] J**
Right now, you're trying to solve
problems without knowing those formulas.
**[11:26] J**
Just learning the Egyptian should
help make things easier for you.
**[11:32] J**
If you have anything to apologize for,
it's your failure to believe in yourself.
**[11:41] J**
If you want to be a real climber,
ignore what others say
**[11:44] J**
and trust your instincts.
**[11:48] K**
Thank you, Jun-chan.

Nono.
**[11:58] N**
Shh!
**[12:00] S**
Yoo-hoo, Konomin!
I'll buy you a smoothie later...
**[12:04] S**
Huh?
**[12:04] K**
Go for a hold that's far out.
**[12:06] K**
Twisting one leg inward
raises my waist position.
**[12:09] K**
Raises my waist position.
**[12:10] K**
Use that extra reach to
get to a farther hold.
**[12:13] K**
Use that extra reach.
**[12:14] K**
Get to a farther hold.
**[12:16] S**
See? I told you it would be
fine if we let Jun handle it.
**[12:20] N**
Right...
**[12:26] N**
Woohoo!
**[12:26] Pa**
Sugiura sends the problem!
**[12:28] Pa**
Yotsuba sends the problem!
**[12:37] Pa**
Uchimura falls and fails to clear Problem B!
**[12:40] Pa**
Give her a big hand!
**[12:41] Ak**
Your cheers are the cat's meow!
**[12:43] Ak**
* I actually wanted to go*
* further, but whatever.*
**[12:48] Ak**
* I'm sure to pass the prelims*
* with my combined score.*
**[12:52] J**
You haven't changed, huh?
**[12:54] Ak**
Uehara Jun!
**[12:55] J**
You're still trying to drive
newbies out of the sport?
**[12:58] Ak**
Wh-What in the world?
**[13:01] Ak**
I have no idea what you could pawsibly mean.
**[13:04] (Flashback) G**
You're amazing, Akane-chan!
**[13:06] Ak**
* I'd gotten a big head for being*
* a better climber than most*
**[13:09] Ak**
*when a newbie showed up out of nowhere.*
**[13:11] Ak**
* She sent the problem faster than anyone*
* else and looked down on the audience.*
**[13:16] Ak**
* She became the star in every*
* local competition after that.*
**[13:20] Ak**
*How dare she, when she started after me!*
**[13:23] Ak**
* So, I swore to destroy every*
* newbie I came across.*
**[13:29] Ak**
Anyway, could you please
go somewhere else?
**[13:34] Ak**
I don't have the time to throw
paws with you right now.
**[13:36] J**
I just thought this was the
best seat in the house.
**[13:40] J**
I wanna get a good look at your face
after you see our newbie climb.
**[13:44] Ak**
Who, that loser who doesn't
know how to analyze a problem?
**[13:49] Ak**
What kind of expurression
do you want me to make?
**[13:53] Ak**
Laugh my tail off?
Be shocked by how pawful she is?
**[13:57] Ak**
I don't know if I can
act this out purrfectly!
**[14:05] K**
*Yeah, I'm fine. I'm calm and composed.*
**[14:08] K**
*Watch me, Captain, Nono-senpai...*
**[14:12] K**
*And Jun-chan.*
**[14:15] K**
*This is how I climb.*
**[14:26] Pa**
Whoa, Kasahara's taking it slow and
steady compared to her previous run.
**[14:31] Ak**
Huh... So she's not completely useless.
**[14:35] Ak**
But her moves are look like
something the cat dragged in.
**[14:39] K**
* I have to grab this hold with my left*
* hand and get closer to the next one.*
**[14:44] K**
* Here, I take a step back to*
* safely clip the rope on.*
**[14:48] S**
Konomi-san is using her head now.
**[14:50] N**
Yeah, she's looking really good.
**[14:53] S**
But now, she has to deal
with the slight overhang.
**[14:56] N**
Yeah.
**[14:56] S**
Overhangs bring gravity into play more,
which wears you out quicker.
**[15:01] Ak**
She'll run out of gas and fall soon enough.
**[15:06] K**
*This angle sucks!*
**[15:09] K**
*My arms can't take any more!*
**[15:13] Ak**
See? She's just about done fur.
**[15:18] K**
*I know! This is the perfect time!*
**[15:23] Ak**
The Egyptian?!
**[15:24] J**
I just taught her that move
and she's already using it as a rest hold?
**[15:28] Ak**
She's secured her lower body
in place to rest her arms?
**[15:35] K**
*Okay, I can keep going now.*
**[15:40] Chin**
I knew it.
**[15:41] Chin**
That girl really isn't normal.
**[15:43] Chin**
This will be fun!
**[15:49] Ak**
What the heck? She keeps going,
like she's done this before.
**[15:52] Ak**
Did she get a perfect read on
the problem as a total newbie?
**[15:56] K**
* I can't move like I envisioned*
* when I'm actually climbing.*
**[16:01] K**
*But...*
**[16:08] Ak**
That volume...
**[16:13] Ak**
It's the one I fell from.
**[16:16] K**
*Put together a sequence.*
**[16:17] Ak**
No... She can't get higher than me!
**[16:21] K**
*Fit the pieces together and find a path!*
**[16:24] K**
*Send this thing home!*
**[16:26] Ak**
Gah! I would never lose to her!
**[16:40] Pa**
Kasahara grabs hold of the volume.
**[16:43] Ak**
No way...
**[16:45] J**
Love that look, Uchimura.
**[16:50] J**
I'll let you off the hook for this,
**[16:53] J**
but the next time you try anything
funny with us, you'll pay for it.
**[16:57] J**
Etch this into your tiny brain.
**[16:59] J**
This is Hanamiya's...
Kasahara Konomi's brand of climbing.
**[17:05] K**
*The next hold looks simple to grab.*
**[17:09] K**
* It's a little far,*
* so I should take a step back...*
**[17:14] Pa**
Oh no! She falls so close to the goal!
**[17:17] Pa**
But she showed us an amazing series of moves!
**[17:19] Pa**
Give her a big hand!
**[17:21] K**
Huh? I messed up?
**[17:24] K**
My hands are shaking...
**[17:29] J**
You can barely stand.
**[17:31] K**
Jun-chan.
**[17:32] J**
Here.
**[17:34] J**
You lacked the strength to send it, huh?
**[17:37] K**
Yeah... It didn't go as easily as I imagined.
**[17:42] K**
But...
**[17:46] K**
Maybe that's exactly what
makes you want to go again.
**[17:53] J**
Get a load of this newbie acting
like she knows the sport inside out.
**[17:59] Ak**
Damn it all!
**[18:01] Ak**
What was with that Kasahara Konomi girl?
**[18:04] Ak**
She got one hold higher than I did.
**[18:07] Ak**
Know your place, damn noob!
**[18:10] Ak**
Yeah, I have to destroy every
rookie I come across immediately.
**[18:14] Ak**
My... My neck!
**[18:15] Chin**
Bad girl. If you bump into someone,
you need apologize to them.
**[18:19] Ak**
Aren't you Kurikawa High's
Iwamine? Screw you!
**[18:22] Chin**
Not only do you not apologize,
you're insulting me now? Very bad.
**[18:27] Ak**
* How is she generating such grip*
* strength with just a few fingers?*
**[18:32] Chin**
I must say, you have a very cute face.
**[18:32] Ak**
I can't get free.
**[18:34] Ak**
G-Get out of my face.
**[18:35] Chin**
Come with me to the dressing rooms.
**[18:37] Chin**
I'll give you a good dressing down there.
**[18:41] Ak**
Wait! Let me go!
**[18:43] Ak**
I-I'm sorry, Iwamine-san!
**[18:46] Ak**
I was wrong! Spare me!
**[18:49] Ak**
No!
**[18:55] N**
We did it!
**[18:57] N**
The Hanamiya Climbing Team takes
home the honors again this year!
**[19:00] S**
And, this time,
we're individual *and* team champions.
**[19:03] N**
Hell yeah! We finally won as a team!
**[19:06] K**
*It was amazing.*
**[19:08] K**
* Captain, Jun-chan, and Nono-san*
* all finished on the podium.*
**[19:12] K**
*I didn't even make the finals.*
**[19:16] S**
Now, Konomi-san.
**[19:18] S**
I want to ask you: Do you want to continue?
**[19:22] S**
I would like to know how
you really feel right now.
**[19:26] K**
I...
**[19:27] S**
Our goal is to make Hanamiya
national champions.
**[19:31] S**
I want us to be the best team in Japan.
**[19:35] S**
And, using that as a springboard,
I'll enter international competitions,
**[19:39] S**
win lots of medals, and help spread the
sport of climbing across the globe.
**[19:44] S**
That will make walls a
more commonplace thing.
**[19:48] S**
They will be everywhere,
including schools and streets.
**[19:52] S**
I'll bring to fruition a world where everyone,
everywhere, can climb all they want!
**[19:54] N**
Not again, Sayo-chin...
**[19:57] S**
That is my dream!
**[20:02] K**
Your dream...
**[20:05] J**
I love it.
**[20:06] S**
Isn't it the best?
**[20:08] N**
Hey, Sayo-chin!
Konomin's eyes are glazing over!
**[20:15] S**
Of course, becoming national
champions will be no mean feat.
**[20:19] S**
Our generation is filled with talent thanks to
development at the junior level.
**[20:24] S**
There are several competitors better than me.
**[20:27] G**
Iwamine Chinari, the Climbing Spider.
**[20:30] G**
Kumagai Chigusa, the Muscle Maxima'am.
**[20:33] G**
Fujita Masumi, the Black Panther.
**[20:36] G**
Samura Rina, the Crimson Stormtrooper.
**[20:39] G**
Ooba Kurea, the Ballerina of Rock.
**[20:42] G**
And the Princess of Climbing, Kurusu Anne!
**[20:45] A**
Cool Kurusu!
**[20:47] S**
Konomi-san, you have real talent for this.
**[20:51] S**
We'll need your talent if we wish to
win competitions bigger than today's.
**[20:58] S**
Would you be willing to scale
the national wall with us?
**[21:04] K**
I...
**[21:07] K**
I know I'm sorely lacking in experience.
**[21:10] K**
However,
**[21:11] K**
I know how good the view from the top can be.
**[21:19] K**
I would love to see that
view together with you all!
**[21:24] K**
I have a lot to learn,
but thanks for having me!
**[21:27] K**
I'll do my best to bring
home that chicken dinner!
**[21:35] S**
Er...
**[21:36] S**
Konomi-san? "Chicken dinner"?
**[21:40] K**
Oh, uh, "winner, winner,
chicken dinner," gamer lingo.
**[21:44] ---**
The national championship, in this case.
**[21:47] N**
Huh, I had no idea.
**[21:48] K**
Sorry, old habits.
**[21:51] S**
What's the matter, Jun?
**[21:53] J**
Huh? Oh, nothing.
**[21:55] S**
Really?
**[21:56] S**
Let's all say it together, then.
**[21:58] J**
Huh?
**[21:59] N**
Say what?
**[22:00] K**
Together?
**[22:02] All**
Chicken dinner!
