[00:04] K
Muscles are an embodiment of love.
[00:08] K
Muscles are a manifestation of dreams.
[00:12] K
Working out daily develops your
love along with your muscles,
[00:17] K
and fosters your dreams.
[00:20] K
Muscles must be made with love and dreams.
[00:24] K
And so, the more swole one becomes,
the nicer they become...
[00:37] K
No!
[00:45] S
She seems to be having a bad dream.
[00:47] J
Should I wake her?
[00:48] K
Urk... the muscles... the muscles!
[00:52] All
"Muscles"?
[00:53] K
I can't eat any more!
[00:56] S
This could be fun.
[00:57] N
Let's see where this goes.
[01:01] K
Oh man, I slept well!
I feel so much better!
[01:04] J
Did you sleep well?
[01:05] K
Yup!
[01:06] J
It sure didn't seem that way.
[01:08] K
Huh? Oh, I did have a dream.
[01:10] N
How'd it go?
[01:12] K
I got too jacked and couldn't
hold all the muscle,
[01:12] K
Macho!
[01:14] K
and then Nono-san started trying
to feed me a ton of konjac.
[01:15] N
Konjac!
[01:18] N
Me?!
[01:19] K
What's more, the captain had
hidden protein bars in it.
[01:23] S
Doesn't look very hidden.
[01:24] K
Macho!
[01:24] K
Then, I got even more jacked and was
primed to win a bodybuilding competition,
[01:30] K
but Jun-chan showed up.
[01:31] J
I what?
[01:32] K
She won and I finished runner-up.
[01:35] J
Could you not involve me in your nightmares?
[01:45] J
Think you can send the
Anti-Monkey Rock this time?
[01:49] K
I don't know if I've gotten strong enough
in the past month and a half,
[01:55] K
but all I'm thinking about is
climbing with everything I've got.
SIGN Iwakakeru!
SIGN Wall 4 Powerhouse Climbers
[03:29] S
Juzo-san, thank you for coaching us again.
[03:32] All
Thank you!
[03:33] G
Pleasure's all mine.
[03:35] Ki
Master...
[03:36] N
Let's put down the mats, then.
[03:37] K
Hello, Kiku-chan.
[03:38] S
Good idea.
[03:38] K
How've you been?
[03:39] J
Got it.
[03:39] Ki
G-Good.
[03:41] Ki
Master,
[03:43] Ki
did you think about what I said last time?
[03:47] (Flashback) Ki
Climb rocks and become
a true free climber with me.
[03:52] K
Sorry I couldn't answer you that day.
[03:56] K
But I will today.
[03:58] K
Wait for me atop the Anti-Monkey Rock.
[04:00] Ki
Okay. Good luck, Master.
[04:03] K
Thanks. I'll do my best.
[04:06] G
She has a fine aura about her.
[04:09] Ki
She does.
[04:16] N
Go, Konomin!
[04:17] S
Good luck, Konomi-san!
[04:33] K
Time for the first crux.
[04:35] K
Sloper to crimp.
[04:38] K
First, swing my right leg
and secure my footing.
[04:42] K
Slowly raise my body...
[04:45] K
Grab the smooth sloper hold,
shift my body right...
[04:49] K
and pull myself up again.
[04:56] N
Nailed the first crux!
[04:58] S
She's looking good.
[04:59] J
But here comes the second crux.
[05:10] J
She needs to grab the upper part of
this crack to stabilize herself.
[05:17] K
I'm still scared.
[05:19] K
My hands are shaking again.
[05:26] K
But...
[05:28] K
I trained so hard with the team
[05:31] K
so I could reach out in this moment!
[05:38] N
She's got it!
[05:39] J
No, not yet!
[05:40] J
She's still on the lower part of that
crack. She needs to go one higher.
[05:43] K
Almost there... Just a little higher.
[05:47] K
It hurts!
[05:54] K
It's okay. I believe.
[05:57] K
I believe in my mind, my body,
[06:00] K
in my right hand!
[06:06] N
Sh...
[06:07] N
She secured herself.
[06:09] J
Good job, Konomi!
[06:10] J
Take a deep breath and go left to... the...
[06:16] K
That felt so good!
[06:18] Ki
Is she smiling?
[06:20] G
Looks like she's learned
how to deal with the fear.
[06:25] J
Captain?
[06:26] S
Juzo-san's right.
[06:28] S
It's easy to dismiss fear as a bad thing,
but it's a crucial warning sign.
[06:34] S
Climbers who don't feel fear tend to use
sloppy moves and mess up needlessly.
[06:39] S
Recklessness isn't a true
sign of a strong mind.
[06:43] S
What is, however, is being fully aware
of the risks and still having fun,
[06:49] S
which takes real mental toughness.
[07:08] N
She did it!
[07:09] J
Hell yeah!
[07:11] G
Konomi-kun will make a fine climber.
[07:25] K
So pretty.
[07:27] K
It's not even that high up, so why...?
[07:31] Ki
The Anti-Monkey Rock
[07:33] Ki
is said to be the gateway to hard bouldering.
[07:37] Ki
You did it, Master.
[07:40] K
I get why you're so hooked
on rock climbing now.
[07:42] K
This view made it really obvious.
[07:46] Ki
Really?
[07:47] Ki
You'll join me, then...
[07:49] K
Sorry, Kiku-chan.
[07:51] K
I can't accept your offer.
[07:55] K
I have a dream of my own,
[07:56] K
to be the best in Japan.
[07:59] K
I couldn't have taken in this view if the
Hanamiya team hadn't helped me practice.
[08:05] K
But you know what, Kiku-chan?
[08:07] K
I value our friendship and don't
want us to drift apart over this.
[08:11] K
So, please come watch
[08:13] K
the Kanto Bouldering Championship next week.
[08:18] K
You showed me how fun rock climbing can be.
[08:22] K
I want to do the same for you,
except with sport climbing.
[08:27] K
Just like rock faces have their appeal,
competitive climbing has its own...
[08:31] Ki
You don't have to, Master. I'm fine
just knowing how good rock faces are.
[08:36] K
B-But Kiku-chan...
[08:38] Ki
I'm good, really.
[08:39] K
Uh, but...
[08:40] Ki
I'm good.
[08:42] K
B-But... But... But...
[08:47] K
A student has to come cheer
for their master, no?!
[08:51] K
...no...no...
[08:54] N
You called?
[08:55] K
Yeah, I'm your venerable master, you hear?!
[08:58] K
It is natural that you should
come cheer me on, you hear?!
[09:01] K
Such is the nature of a master-student
relationship, my dear!
[09:04] K
You'll show up, you hear?!
[09:07] Ki
Master, you're talking weird.
[09:12] Ki
Super weird.
[09:13] K
Wh-What's that supposed to mean?
[09:15] Ki
Got it, Master.
[09:18] Ki
I'll cheer you on at the
venue as your student.
[09:22] Ki
I don't think I'll be very loud, but I'll try.
[09:25] Ki
Also, I can't say if I'll develop
an interest in competitive climbing.
[09:29] K
It's okay! That's perfectly fine by me!
[09:34] N
Man, Konomin, you gave me goosebumps.
[09:36] K
Thank you.
[09:38] J
Well, slow and steady and all that.
[09:41] N
Hello? Weren't you the one
fist pumping like crazy?
[09:44] J
I-I would never!
[09:46] N
You totally were!
[09:48] K
Really?
[09:49] J
Again, I wasn't.
[09:49] S
Adding an outdoor rock face to the practice
schedule paid off spectacularly.
[09:50] N
She went all like, "boom!"
[09:52] J
Nobody asked for a demonstration!
[09:54] S
Yeah, now we can compete.
[09:58] K
Huh? No practice today?
[10:00] K
But the competition's soon, isn't it?
[10:03] S
Instead, we're all going on a little outing.
[10:05] K
Another outdoor rock face?
[10:10] N
Wrong, Konomin!
[10:12] N
Our goal today isn't to grind levels!
SIGN Yes No
SIGN Equip now?
[10:15] N
We're upgrading our gear before
the boss battle, so to speak!
[10:19] K
Where are we gonna go for weapons?!
[10:24] K
Here?
[10:25] S
This is Rockaround Rock.
[10:27] S
One of the biggest climbing gyms in Japan,
and a climbing goods store.
[10:31] N
Hollo!
[10:35] A
Welcome, ladies.
[10:37] N
Here I am, Asu-neesan.
[10:39] K
Huh? They're sisters?
[10:42] J
I don't think so.
[10:43] A
Want a feel? It's been a while.
[10:45] N
Nah, I'm good.
[10:47] K
"A feel"?
[10:48] J
Yeah... I got felt up a lot.
[10:52] A
How about you, Yotsuba-chan? Let me
see if your measurements have changed.
[10:55] S
Maybe some other day.
[10:57] S
Konomi-san will be getting naked today.
[11:01] K
N-Na...
[11:01] A
Oh, a new member?
[11:03] K
N-Nice to meet you! I'm Kasahara Konomi!
[11:06] A
The name's Fujimura Asuka.
[11:08] A
I'm a competitive climber
and I work the shop here.
[11:11] K
R-Right...
[11:12] A
Shall we get right to it, then?
[11:14] ---
U-Uh...
[11:17] N
It's just to check your shoe size.
[11:18] K
A-Ah.
SIGN Away
SIGN Currently helping a customer
[11:21] K
You want me to take off my socks, too?
[11:23] A
Of course. It's gotta be your naked feet.
[11:25] K
Why "naked" and not "bare"?
[11:28] A
Huh?
[11:29] K
Oh, nothing.
[11:30] A
Soles play a crucial role in bouldering,
[11:33] A
so you feel them directly to check.
[11:37] A
These feet are lovely. Not arched
too high and not too wide.
[11:47] K
Wait, what?!
[11:48] K
D-Don't put my feet on your face!
[11:50] A
Relax. This helps identify
the contour of your sole.
[11:55] A
It's the most accurate method.
Of course, it takes lots of experience.
[11:59] A
You should be okay with a tight fit.
[12:03] A
Downturned should be good.
[12:04] K
D-Down... what?
SIGN Flat
SIGN Downturned
[12:06] A
Climbing shoes have two kinds
of soles: flat and downturned.
SIGN Flat
[12:12] A
Flat soles are comfortable
[12:14] A
and don't strain your feet much,
so they're recommended to beginners.
SIGN Downturned
[12:18] A
Downturned soles give
you more grip around your toes,
[12:22] A
so they're good for sharp inclines.
[12:25] A
After feeling you up, I think this
would be the best fit for you.
[12:29] A
It's gotta be this one!
[12:32] A
Go ahead and try them on.
[12:34] K
Okay!
[12:36] K
Wow, these are tight.
[12:39] K
Will they really work?
[12:46] K
What the heck?
[12:48] K
I feel so light.
[12:52] K
They latch on tight to every hold,
be it with the toes or the heel!
[12:55] A
How do you like 'em?
[12:56] A
Downturned shoes let you "grab"
holds instead of stepping on them.
[13:00] A
They should be perfect for you.
[13:01] K
Amazing.
[13:03] N
You can make the best
choice with just a feel.
[13:05] N
They don't call you the Shoemeister
Fujimura Asuka for nothing.
[13:07] N
This is my bread and butter.
[13:09] N
I've felt up way more naked
feet than you can imagine.
[13:13] K
With these shoes, I can get
to holds I couldn't before.
[13:18] K
I can take routes I could see but not climb!
[13:21] K
With these,
[13:29] K
I can keep climbing forever!
[13:36] A
Whaddaya say, Konomi-chan?
[13:38] A
Want to try some other pairs?
[13:40] K
I can grab that one hold with these.
[13:43] K
Wow, it'd be so easy to do a heel hook.
[13:46] K
Even tough climbs seem so easy now.
[13:48] A
Oh? I see now.
[13:50] A
No wonder she's such a quick learner.
[13:53] A
By the way, Yotsuba-chan...
[13:55] A
There's a new model out for the thing now.
[13:57] A
Want to try it?
[13:58] S
A new model?
[14:00] A
The shoes elite climbers all swear by.
[14:06] Ri
Almost there.
[14:14] Ri
So, what do you think our
chances are, Masumin?
[14:21] M
Hard to say. We're up
against formidable foes,
[14:25] M
but that's exactly what
makes this so worthwhile.
[14:29] M
We are the St. Caterno Girls' Climbing Team.
[14:33] M
We overwhelm the formidable
with every fiber of our being!
[14:36] All
Yeah!
[14:54] K
Dad, I'm ready.
[14:56] G
Is that so?
[15:00] G
Shall we go, then?
[15:16] J
Yeah, you're pretty nervous.
[15:18] K
O-Of course I am!
[15:20] K
Unlike last time, I've actually
practiced a lot for this!
[15:24] K
My heart's about to explode!
[15:26] Ki
You're nervous, Master?
[15:28] K
Kiku-chan!
[15:30] Ki
Hello, Master.
[15:31] K
You came!
[15:33] Ki
Yeah.
[15:34] K
And Juzo-san?
[15:35] Ki
There.
[15:37] G
Hello, girls.
[15:39] All
Whomst?!
[15:40] S
Hello, Juzo-san.
[15:43] G
All the best. I'll be rooting for you.
[15:46] All
Thank you, Juzo-san!
[15:49] Ki
Well, Master? Dad's a hunk
clean-shaven, too, isn't he?
[15:53] K
Y-Yeah...
[15:55] Ki
Wanna marry him?
[15:56] K
I don't!
[16:00] K
Juzo-san looked nothing like
he does when he's climbing.
[16:04] J
He's a different person clean-shaven.
[16:06] K
He's so handsome. His suit
looked great on him, too.
[16:09] U
Talk about calm and compawsed!
[16:12] U
Checking out men before a tourney?
[16:14] U
Hanamiya? More like Hunkamania, amirite?
[16:19] J
I admire your ability to always
be obnoxious, Uchimura.
[16:23] J
Did you forget how you got
owned in lead last time?
[16:26] U
Wha... What did mew say?
Don't make it sound like...
[16:29] Niijima
Stop, Akane-chan.
[16:31] Niijima
You mustn't be so aggressive.
[16:34] Niijima
I apologize if Akane-chan offended you.
[16:38] J
Oh, no.
[16:39] U
Hey, Niijima-senpai!
[16:41] Nii
We at Matsuhashi High live by the
motto of, "Climb your dreams"!
[16:46] Nii
We'll soar to our goals fair and square.
Good luck beating us.
[16:51] U
"Climb your dreams," my ass.
[16:54] U
It's mewningless without winning.
[16:56] Chin
I have to agree there.
[16:59] U
Right? All that effurrrt
just to lose would be...
[17:04] Chin
Top of the morning to you, Hanamiya ladies.
[17:07] Chin
And also...
[17:09] Chin
U-chi-mu-ra-san!
[17:13] U
Gah! Iwamine Chinari... san!
[17:17] U
Eek!
[17:19] Nii
Where are you going, Akane-chan?
[17:24] S
Hello, Iwamine-san,
and everyone from Kurikawa High.
[17:28] S
How motivated are you to win today,
as one of the favorites?
[17:31] Chin
Motivated?
[17:33] Chin
Not very. At all.
[17:35] Chin
Oh, but perhaps,
[17:37] Chin
you ladies might be?
[17:40] Someone
Nah, not really.
[17:41] Mar
I am, forsooth!
[17:42] Mar
I am Kurikawa's Satou Maruno.
[17:45] Mar
I have watched all of
Hanamiya's exploits, I have!
[17:49] Mar
However!
[17:50] Mar
Since Kurikawa's taking part,
your exploits will be patched, I daresay!
[17:56] Chin
Well said! Attagirl, Maruno!
[17:59] Mar
Thank you kindly, Cap'n Iwamine.
[18:02] K
Mother and daughter?
[18:03] J
Yeah, right.
[18:05] Chin
As Maruno says,
[18:07] Chin
since Kurikawa's participating, we'll be
taking all the top spots in the prelims.
[18:13] Chin
I may even get to see your adorable faces
[18:17] Chin
twisted in agony by the end of today.
[18:20] M
I don't know about that.
[18:23] Chin
My.
[18:25] Chin
Hello there, Fujita Masumi-san.
[18:28] M
Hello, Iwamine-san.
[18:30] M
Have you forgotten about St. Caterno?
[18:35] M
Hello, Yotsuba-san.
[18:37] S
Hello, Fujita-san.
[18:44] N
W-Wow, all of the
Three Climbing Dames are here!
[18:47] K
C-Climbing Dames?
[18:49] N
Yeah.
[18:50] N
It's a name for three girls from our generation
[18:54] N
who are head and shoulders above the rest.
[18:57] N
Fujita Masumi, St. Caterno Girls'.
[19:00] N
Iwamine Chinari, Kurikawa High.
[19:04] N
And our captain, Yotsuba Sayo!
[19:09] M
Sure, Kurikawa is a strong team.
[19:12] M
Your confidence certainly isn't misplaced.
[19:16] M
That said,
[19:17] M
the walls mercilessly slam down conceit.
[19:21] M
That's the kind of sport climbing is.
[19:23] M
What I'm saying is,
[19:26] M
comp... compu...
[19:28] Ri
Complacency is fatal.
[19:29] M
Complacency is fatal!
[19:31] M
If you're gonna be that way,
we'll just do the thing.
[19:34] K
Wh-What does that even mean?
[19:36] J
Don't ask me.
[19:38] Ku
Captain Masumin, I'm afraid you
aren't getting through to them.
[19:43] Pa
The opening ceremony will begin soon.
[19:45] M
Oh, it's time.
[19:45] Pa
All participants are requested to
head to their assigned positions.
[19:48] M
See you all by the wall!
[19:52] Chin
I suppose I should be heading back, as well.
[19:55] S
See you, Iwamine-san.
[19:56] Mar
Kurikawa will be the one to win, I daresay!
[20:00] J
What's wrong? Still nervous?
[20:02] K
I don't know how to react to all
these larger-than-life people.
[20:05] J
Yeah, they're all weirdos.
[20:11] N
Konomin, are you gonna be okay?
[20:17] J
Ultimately, we'll be facing the wall,
not them.
[20:22] J
We'll be battling ourselves.
[20:26] J
Just follow your own brand of climbing.
[20:28] K
My own brand...
[20:31] J
You're a lot more confident
after all that training, right?
[20:36] J
You'll be fine as long
as you don't forget it.
[20:38] K
You're right, Jun-chan.
That takes a load off my mind.
[20:42] J
Good.
[20:43] S
Shall we get going, then?
[20:46] All
Yeah.
[20:47] S
Hanamiya High Climbing Team,
[20:49] S
aim for victory.
[20:52] S
Let's climb!
[20:58] Fan
U-Um...
[21:00] Fan
You're Kurusu Anne-san, right?
[21:00] Fan
It's Anne! So cute!
[21:02] Fan
Can we get an autograph?
[21:04] Hi
Not now, please.
[21:06] An
Sure! I'm always cool, Kurusu!
[21:14] Ku
Long time no see.
[21:16] Ku
I never imagined we would reunite here,
[21:19] Ku
Kasahara Konomi.
[21:21] K
You're from St. Caterno...
[21:24] Ku
Well, I don't blame you
for not recognizing me.
[21:28] Ku
Back then, I was but a little
girl who wanted to be you.
[21:32] Ku
Or, should I say, a quadrille
who wanted to be an étoile?
[21:36] K
Wait...
[21:38] Ku
Precisely.
[21:39] Ku
I'm Ooba Kurea, and I went to
the same ballet school as you.
[21:43] Ku
You certainly had a far better
