    We shall rebuild Konomi-san's body.
[00:05] K
    Rebuild... my body?!
[00:10] Koyasu
    Muscles won't ever betray you.
[00:12] Koyasu
    They will be on your side all day, every day.
[00:16] Koyasu
    They are close friends
    you can trust with your life.
[00:21] Koyasu
    The more you train,
    the more effort you put in,
[00:25] Koyasu
    the more your muscles will repay you.
[00:27] Koyasu
    When you're swole, you will be fulfilled
    both physically and mentally.
[00:32] Koyasu
    And when your body and mind
    reach perfect harmony,
[00:37] Koyasu
    your muscles will make you
    shine like never before.
SIGN    Iwakakeru!
[02:11] All
    Fight! Fight!
[02:13] K
    You do laps for climbing, too?
[02:16] K
    Maybe not if you're just gym climbing,
    but competitive climbers do.
[02:21] (Flashback) S
    Konomi-san, you couldn't send the route
    at the tournament, remember?
[02:26] (Flashback) K
    Yes.
[02:28] (Flashback) S
    There were several reasons for that,
[02:30] (Flashback) S
    but the most obvious one
    was your lack of strength.
[02:33] (Flashback) S
    That's understandable,
    considering you only just started.
[02:37] (Flashback) S
    Our next objective is the Kanto High School
    Bouldering Championship in two months.
[02:42] (Flashback) S
    In that time, we'll rebuild your
    body into one that can compete.
[02:47] S
    You have the potential to aim much higher.
[02:50] K
    Got it!
[02:51] All
    Fight! Fight!

[02:57] N
    If anything, you're a bit chubby,
    so you gotta lose some weight.
[03:01] K
    Ch-Chubby?!
[03:04] N
    Losing two kilos opens up more options
    than gaining two kilos of grip strength.
[03:09] N
    You've gotta be able to carry your weight
    all the way up with just your limbs.
[03:12] K
    Chub... Chubby?
[03:16] N
    Gotcha!
[03:18] K
    Hey, Nono-san!
[03:20] N
    Gotta trim that fat, girl!
[03:23] K
    Chubby...
[03:25] (Flashback) K
    How exactly am I supposed
    to build up strength?
[03:28] (Flashback) S
    Basically, you'll work on base strength,
     pulling and pushing power,
[03:33] (Flashback) S
    core strength, and the ability
    to maintain position...
[03:35] (Flashback) S
    Foundational muscle strength for climbers.
[03:39] S
    Next up, incline sprints.
    We'll all go at once.
[03:43] K
    Chubby...
[03:44] S
    Is something the matter, Konomi-san?
[03:46] K
    No, nothing!
[03:48] S
    Go!
[03:51] (Flashback) N
    But it'll be different from bodybuilding.
[03:56] (Flashback) J
    You're only looking to
    gain functional muscle.
[03:59] (Flashback) J
    Getting too jacked will
    only add excess weight.
[04:00] (Flashback) K
    Yes!
[04:02] (Flashback) K
    No!
[04:04] S
    One-legged squats!
[04:07] K
    Chubby...
[04:09] S
    Okay, let's do some short problems.
[04:12] K
    Chubby...
[04:15] J
    Focus, Konomi.
[04:17] K
    O-Oh, right.
[04:18] J
    Nicely done, Captain.
[04:19] N
    Nice, Sayo-chin.
[04:20] J
    Nice, Konomi!
[04:23] K
    I had such a hard time
    with a short problem...
[04:27] S
    Okay, now let's campus that problem.
[04:31] K
    "Campus"?
[04:36] K
    What the hell?
[04:38] K
    I sent this earlier, but now
    my legs won't move.
[04:42] K
    I can't even complete one move?
[04:45] S
    Climbing using your arms
    alone is called "campusing."
[04:49] S
    This trains your upper body to...
[04:55] N
    Are you okay, Konomin?!
[04:56] J
    Are you all right?
[04:58] K
    Ch...
[05:00] S
    Begin hanging leg raises!
[05:02] S
    One, two, three, right.
[05:05] S
    One, two, three, left.
[05:07] K
    One, two, three...
[05:08] N
    Konomin down!
[05:10] S
    One, two, one, two...
[05:16] N
    We lost Konomin again!
[05:17] N
    Konomin!
[05:23] K
    My entire body hurts.
[05:25] K
    Training is really hard.
[05:30] K
    Huh?
[05:32] K
    Jun-chan.
[05:33] K
    Let's eat together, okay?
[05:36] J
    I-I don't mind.
[05:38] K
    Yay! Thanks!
[05:45] K
    I see you by yourself most of the time.
    Do you prefer being alone?
[05:50] J
    What? Is that a problem?!
[05:52] K
    No, no, of course not!
[05:56] J
    Well, you know how I am.
    I'm not great at socializing.
[06:01] J
    I've been obsessed with climbing forever
    and don't have any other hobbies,
[06:05] J
    so I have an easier time by myself.
[06:08] K
    I see.
[06:10] J
    Konomi, you've better doing
    better in practice lately,
[06:14] J
    but you're still way off
    where you need to be.
[06:17] J
    If you can't handle this regimen,
     you'll fail the prelims in the next event, too.
[06:22] J
    So, you need to...
[06:28] J
    I'm doing it again.
[06:30] J
    Being such a hardass on everyone
    is the reason I don't have any friends.
[06:39] J
    Later.
[06:45] K
    You see right through me, huh?
[06:51] K
    You're absolutely right.
    I'm sore all over again.
[06:57] K
    But you know what?
[06:59] K
    I've never worked toward a
    common goal with a team before.
[07:04] K
    So, while it is hard,
     I'm enjoying this new experience.
[07:09] K
    I'm really happy right now!
[07:11] J
    This girl...
[07:13] K
    Oh, sorry for keeping you.
[07:15] J
    It's fine.
[07:17] K
    Let's eat together again, okay, Jun-chan?
[07:24] J
    I've always thought climbing
    was all I ever wanted,
[07:28] J
    and that I didn't need friends...
[07:31] J
    Are you sure you want
     me around during lunch?
[07:35] J
    Keep in mind, I'll be
     monitoring your calorie intake.
[07:40] K
    No!
[07:41] J
    What? Having doubts about your diet?
[07:43] K
    Uh, that's not it...
[07:45] J
    Looks like I'm going to have my hands full.
[07:48] K
    Oh... Cut me some slack, boss.
[07:55] S
    Three more seconds.
[07:57] S
    Three, two, one.
[08:05] S
    Okay, let's do some cooldown
    stretches and call it a day.
[08:08] N
    'Kay!
[08:09] K
    Huh? Are finishing up early today?
[08:14] N
    It's because we have a road trip tomorrow,
     my dear Konomi-kun.
[08:18] K
    Oh, that's right. A practice match, right?
[08:23] K
    Who are we facing?
[08:26] S
    A truly formidable opponent, that's who.
[08:29] S
    It's called the Anti-Monkey Rock.
[08:32] K
    The Anti-Monkey Rock?
[08:34] S
    It's just what it sounds like.
[08:36] S
    It's a rock that even monkeys can't climb.
[08:42] K
    P-Poor monkeys!
[08:45] K
    Huh? Nobody's here.
[08:49] K
    Why?
[08:50] K
    Did I come to the wrong place?
[08:52] K
    "Jun-chan, where are you?
    I don't see you all."
[08:55] K
    Heck, I don't see anyone, for that matter.
[08:58] Ph
    Yakisoba!

[09:00] J
    You're an hour early, idiot.
SIGN    Idiot
[09:14] K
    Hello.
[09:16] K
    What are you up to?
[09:20] Ki
    A game.
[09:21] K
    Oh, that I can tell.
[09:24] K
    I was just wondering what
    you were doing here.
[09:28] K
    ZWBY is fun, isn't it?
[09:31] Ki
    You can play?
[09:32] K
    Huh? I can, why?
[09:34] Ki
    1v1 me.
[09:36] K
    What? I used to be pretty hardcore, you know?
[09:40] Ki
    It'll be fine.
[09:42] Ki
    I've never met anyone better than me.
[09:47] Ki
    I-I lost ten in a row!
[09:49] K
    S-Sorry. I used to be a top-tier ZWBYian...
[09:53] K
    Yikes. Did I go overboard?
[09:56] Ki
    L-L... Le...
[09:58] K
    Le?
[10:00] Ki
    Let me call you "Master"!
[10:06] Ki
    Sorry, Master, my dad is calling me back.
[10:09] K
    Sure, go ahead.
[10:13] Ki
    I couldn't beat you even once,
    but I'm happy I met someone so good.
[10:17] Ki
    Let's play again.
[10:18] K
    Sure.
[10:20] Ki
    See you, Master.
[10:21] K
    Y-Yeah, see you.
[10:26] K
    Wait, I didn't get her contact info!
[10:29] Ph
    Yakisoba!
[10:31] K
    Uh, an hour's passed...
[10:35] J
    You show up early and you're still late?
[10:39] K
    I'm sorry!
[10:42] J
    You're not cut out for group activities.
[10:45] K
    You're one to talk!
[10:47] J
    What about me?
[10:48] K
    You're always going off
    and doing whatever and stuff.
[10:53] J
    Huh? I can't hear you.
[10:54] J
    You're such a...
[10:55] N
    They seem awfully friendly now.
[10:55] K
    Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry!
[10:59] S
    Rocks, like climbing walls,
    have difficulty grades.
[11:02] S
    The Anti-Monkey Rock has a V6 problem,
[11:06] S
    and other more difficult problems,
    going all the way to V10.
[11:10] J
    I'm going to attempt a V8 today.
[11:14] S
    It'll be difficult for you to fully climb it,
    since it's your first time,
[11:19] S
    but start with the V6 and see how you go.
[11:21] K
    Okay!
[11:33] K
    There's someone climbing over there!
[11:39] K
    Awesome.
[11:53] K
    Wow, he actually climbed all the way.
[12:02] S
    That was incredible, Juzo-san.
[12:04] Gj
    Miss Yotsuba.
[12:06] S
    It's nice to see you again.
[12:07] S
    Let me introduce you.
     This is Goto Juzo-san.
[12:11] S
    He's a bouldering specialist who holds
    numerous outdoor climbing records.
[12:15] S
    He coaches us every now and then.
[12:18] Gj
    No, I don't. You just happen
    to be there when I'm climbing.
[12:24] Ki
    Dad.
[12:25] S
    Oh, Kiku-chan.
[12:27] S
    Long time no see. How have you been?
[12:31] K
    Huh?
[12:36] K
    I knew it.
[12:40] Ki
    Master!
[12:41] All
    "Master"?
[12:42] K
    Oh, uh, it's a long story.
[12:46] J
    Is it?
[12:48] J
    I'm amazed you know Kiku-chan, Konomi.
[12:51] K
    It's more like I just
    got to know her earlier.
[12:55] N
    What? Don't tell me you actually managed
    to have a conversation with her?!
[12:59] K
    I guess you could say that...
[13:00] N
    Amazing. I'd love to have
    a chat with her, too,
[13:05] N
    but she doesn't talk to us much.
[13:08] K
    Really?
[13:10] N
    What the heck?
[13:11] N
    She's such a tough nut to crack for me.
[13:14] S
    Nonoka, the mat.
[13:15] N
    I know.
[13:16] N
    But lucky you, Konomin.
[13:18] K
    Right...
[13:19] S
    Get ready, Konomi-san.
[13:21] K
    Okay!
[13:25] K
    So, this is the Anti-Monkey Rock.
    Let's do this.
[13:35] K
    This thing has eight routes...
[13:38] K
    No, if you count the ones that
    merge partway, ten routes.
[13:43] J
    You can tell? You haven't
    even checked a topo guide.
[13:46] K
    But they all look difficult.
[13:48] K
    The only one I might be able to climb
[13:51] K
    is the one that turns to the
    top-right from around the middle.
[13:54] S
    Bingo. That's the V6 problem.
[13:58] S
    Impressive observation, as always.
[14:03] J
    Go for it, Konomi.
[14:04] N
    Hang in there, Konomin!
[14:06] K
    This is real rock climbing...
[14:11] K
    It's nothing like the
    holds on the wall in school!
[14:14] K
    It's so rough!
[14:17] J
    Yeah, that's the way.
[14:18] N
    Keep going!
[14:20] K
    Next up is that crack over there.
[14:25] K
    Ouch!
[14:32] K
    The crack is next...
[14:39] K
    My right hand froze!
[14:42] K
    Why won't you move, hand?
[14:45] K
    Why? I haven't even climbed all that far!
[14:58] K
    I'm scared!
[15:04] J
    Nice landing, Konomi.
[15:06] J
    No need to push yourself at the start.
[15:08] N
    It'd be dangerous if you got too far.
[15:11] J
    So, how did your first
    bouldering attempt feel?
[15:15] S
    Unlike walls, rock faces are
    intimidating on a primal level.
[15:20] S
    This is one of the reasons:
[15:23] S
    the high risk attached to falling in itself,
    because even that could injure you.
[15:29] J
    In competitive bouldering,
    you can keep going even after you fall,
[15:33] J
    so you kinda start thinking it's
    okay to fall and take it lightly.
[15:38] S
    Right now, you're working on
    your strength and technique,
[15:42] S
    but there's one more major thing
    you need to be able to win.
[15:46] S
    It's the fortitude to keep climbing
    when you know you can't afford to fall.
[15:52] K
    Fortitude...
[15:57] S
    Go, Jun!
[15:58] K
    Fight, Jun-chan!
[16:14] S
    Amazing, Jun! You actually sent the V8!
[16:17] ---
    Thank you!
[16:19] Ki
    Dad, can you spot for me?
[16:25] N
    Given where she's starting,
    is she attempting the same route as Jun?
[16:29] S
    No. She's traversing to the right,
     so it's the V10 problem.
[16:36] S
    She changed her route?
[16:38] S
    It's a mixture of both
    the V10 problems here...
[16:42] S
    The most difficult route this rock has.
[16:44] S
    She's at the crux!
[16:46] S
    At the end of a long sequence of moves that
    drain you, you have to execute a mantel
[16:50] S
    which is very demanding and even scarier.
[16:55] S
    Incredible. And she's still
    only in junior high school, too.
[16:58] K
    Wow.
[17:00] S
    She's probably the best girl boulderer
     in junior high, period.
[17:06] K
    That was amazing, Kiku-chan!
[17:08] K
    You can climb such a difficult route!
[17:13] Ki
    Well, I've been climbing this rock for years.
[17:17] Ki
    I actually think your eyes are more amazing.
[17:20] K
    Really?
[17:21] Ki
    Yeah.
[17:22] Ki
    Unlike walls, rock faces
    don't have routes marked out,
[17:26] Ki
    so they require even more analytic skill.
[17:29] Ki
    You figured out all the routes on sight.
    That's an amazing ability.
[17:34] Ki
    I was right to call you my master.
[17:39] K
    Th-Thanks, Kiku-chan.
[17:42] Ki
    I believe that rock climbing
    is the pinnacle of free climbing.
[17:47] Ki
    I have a dream, you see.
[17:50] K
    What is it?
[17:51] Ki
    The most difficult problem in Japan was
    first climbed and announced by my dad.
[17:55] Ki
    Someday, I want to send it and be his equal.
[18:02] K
    That's some dream.
[18:04] K
    You must really love your dad.
[18:10] Ki
    Yeah, I do.
[18:13] Ki
    Wait, Master,
[18:15] Ki
    do you have a thing for him?
[18:19] Ki
    I guess I don't mind you becoming my mom.
[18:23] K
    Wh-Wh-Where did that come from?!
[18:26] Ki
    I think your analytic skill
    really shines on rock faces.
[18:31] Ki
    So, Master,
[18:34] Ki
    climb rocks and become
     a true free climber with me.
[18:40] K
    With you?
[18:41] Ki
    I promise it'll be fun, okay?
[18:45] K
    Fun...
[18:47] J
    Hey, Konomi. We're resuming practice.
[18:50] K
    O-Okay! Coming!
[18:52] Ki
    Think about it, Master.
[18:58] N
    You can do it this time, Konomin!
[19:01] K
    I want to be able to climb
    just as well as these girls.
[19:07] (Flashback) Ki
    I think your analytic skill
     really shines on rock faces.
[19:10] K
    Yeah, right! Just look at me now!
[19:12] J
    Hang in there, Konomi.
[19:14] N
    Keep at it!
[19:15] S
    Konomi-san!
[19:16] J
    Focus!
[19:25] K
    Move... Move! Please move!
[19:29] K
    I want to climb! Let me climb!
[19:36] K
    I can't do it.
[19:38] K
    God, I suck.
[19:43] ---
    I...
[19:45] J
    What's up?
[19:47] K
    When I thought I might fall...
[19:53] J
    You froze up in fear, right?
[19:55] K
    Right.
[19:57] S
    Konomi-san, when you feel fear
    while outdoor bouldering,
[20:00] S
    it's because you aren't convinced you
    won't fall off the holds you're grabbing.
[20:05] S
    To overcome that fear,
    you need confidence in your body.
[20:09] S
    If you have that,
    you'll be able to move freely.
[20:12] S
    You saw how Juzo-san climbed, didn't you?
[20:15] S
    With confidence, you can even
    trust your pinkie with your life.
[20:19] S
    That is why you're training now.
[20:24] S
    Konomi-san, work with us
    and gain confidence in yourself.
[20:28] K
    Yeah.
[20:31] J
    Go, Konomi.
[20:35] N
    Konomin's been super determined
    since we got back.
[20:39] S
    She's trying to love herself, in her own way.
[20:43] S
    Begin hanging leg raises.
[20:47] J
    You can do it, Konomi!
[20:51] K
    I see now.
[20:52] K
    I didn't know how to respond
    to Kiku-chan's words
[20:56] K
    because I suck, can't even
    climb the Anti-Monkey,
[21:01] K
    and have no confidence.
[21:03] S
    Incline sprints, go!
[21:07] K
    Right now, I'm not keeping up with practice.
[21:11] J
    You okay, Konomi?
[21:15] K
    So, I'm going to get to that point...
[21:18] K
    I'm fine!

    Good.
[21:21] K
    Build up my body so I can compete
    together with the team...
[21:25] K
    and gain the confidence to
    speak my mind with Kiku-chan!
[21:33] J
    You've got this!
[21:34] N
    Go, Konomin!
[21:35] S
    Just one more, Konomi-san!
[21:37] K
    "The Anti-Monkey Rock"?
    I'm gonna destroy that thing!
[21:45] S
    Well done, Konomi-san.
[21:47] N
    Amazing, Konomin!
[21:49] N
    Not too long ago, just some sprints
    were enough to make you faint!
[21:53] J
    You're making definite progress.
[21:57] K
    Okay, next up...
[21:59] K
    Just you wait, Anti-Monkey Rock!
