    Awesome.

    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!

    Am I going deaf? I can't hear you.

[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...

    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.

    You haven't changed, huh?

    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.

    Come with me to the dressing rooms.

    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!
