[00:09] J
    You know...
[00:11] J
    It's not like I'm a loner by nature.
[00:16] J
    But I would always find myself
[00:19] J
    spending more time alone than not.
[00:26] (Flashback) G
    You said it!
[00:27] (Flashback) G
    I know!
[00:28] (Flashback) G
    Right?
[00:30] (Flashback) G
    Say, Uehara-san, have you
    been watching BolChan?
[00:33] (Flashback) J
    "Bolchan"?
[00:36] (Flashback) J
    Like, bouldering?!
[00:37] (Flashback) G
    Nah, Bold Voltage Max Heart Channel.
[00:40] (Flashback) G
    The one with Himepon.
[00:42] (Flashback) G
    Y'know, this thing.
[00:44] H
    These may look like colorful burgers,
    but they're not.
[00:47] H
    They're sweets, and oh so sweet!
[00:50] (Flashback) J
    No, never heard of it.
[00:52] (Flashback) G
    What? Seriously?!
[00:54] (Flashback) G
    You should totally watch!
    It's the new hot thing!
[00:58] (Flashback) J
    O-Okay.
[01:00] (Flashback) G
    I love it! Himepon's, like, just the best!
[01:04] (Flashback) G
    Let's go.
[01:05] (Flashback) G
    Yeah!
[01:11] J
    To me...
[01:28] J
    climbing is everything.

[03:02] C
    Whoa!
[03:04] C
    That girl's awesome!
[03:06] S
    More cheering. This is amazing.
[03:09] J
    Yeah. Konomi probably sent it.
[03:12] J
    Maybe even in one.
[03:14] S
    Right.
[03:15] J
    If she's sent three semifinal problems,
[03:18] J
    Captain and I should be able
    to match or better her.
[03:24] J
    We can win!
[03:26] J
    Hanamiya can be champs!
[03:28] N
    Go, go, Konomin!
[03:32] Comm
    Kasahara Konomi faces up to Problem D,
    the last one in the semis.
[03:42] Ku
    I absolutely have to solve this problem.
[03:45] Comm
    She's taking her time analyzing the
    problem while the others start climbing.
[03:51] Comm
    Will she send it in one again?
[03:54] Ki
    Master's incredible.
[03:56] G
    No.
[03:59] G
    This doesn't look good.
[04:08] Ku
    Oh, come on!
[04:11] Ku
    How is she so calm and composed?
[04:14] Ku
    It gets on my nerves!
[04:19] K
    A flat wall with several large volumes.
[04:22] K
    It tests your balance and strength.
[04:29] K
    The foothold to the left of the
    zone hold will be hard to reach.
[04:39] K
    I could campus it.
[04:41] K
    The key is to grab the perfect
    part of the zone hold.
[04:44] K
    Okay, next is the crux.
[04:46] K
    i wAnt... tO PuSh...
[04:50] K
    my right side into the wall to climb,
[04:53] K
    but I'll have to get into the corner snug
[04:56] K
    TO... dO... tHat...
[05:00] K
    The v0Lume's EdgE shoulD...
[05:04] K
    What the...?
[05:09] K
    That's weird. I can't fully analyze it.
[05:13] K
    What's come over me?
[05:15] Comm
    Kasahara's taking even longer than usual.
[05:19] Comm
    Will she have enough time to climb?
[05:21] Nak
    She takes her time analyzing
    the route before sending it in one.
[05:25] Nak
    That's Kasahara Konomi's climbing style.
[05:28] Nak
    As long as she has the time to make
    one attempt, that should be enough for her.
[05:32] Comm
    Whoa, there she goes!
[05:35] K
    I took longer than I wanted to.
[05:38] K
    I'll have to hurry!
[05:40] K
    Okay, the zone comes next.
[05:42] K
    I'll grab this hold,
[05:43] K
    and then push up with my right foot.
[05:54] Comm
    She falls!
[05:55] Comm
    She slips now, of all times! A crying shame!
[06:01] Comm
    She couldn't send every semis problem in one.
[06:04] K
    Huh? Why?
[06:06] Comm
    And that's time up!
[06:15] Comm
    But she's still done incredibly well
    to send three out of four problems.
[06:20] Comm
    Kasahara has made a real splash on the scene!
[06:21] K
    I could've done better...
[06:24] K
    Where'd that weird noise come from?
[06:27] K
    Why did I slip?
[06:28] N
    Nice, Konomin!
[06:30] Ki
    You're awesome, Master.
[06:33] As
    Three sends right off the bat?
[06:36] As
    Maybe I was taking her too lightly.
[06:38] As
    I thought I had her all figured
    out after feeling up her feet.
[06:42] G
    Now she just needs to build up
    strength and stamina.
[06:45] G
    If she does, sending everything
    in one won't be out of reach.
[06:57] Mas
    I hear applause, but not loud cheering.
[07:00] Mas
    She must've fallen.
[07:02] J
    Still, she ended up with three sends.
[07:05] J
    Way to go, Konomi!
[07:08] Chin
    A marvelous showing.
[07:12] Chin
    That makes things even more fun.
[07:15] Chin
    I can't wait to see how her results
    will warp the faces of everyone here.
[07:24] Chin
    Yes, yes, yes, yes...
[07:28] Comm
    Whoa, another fall!
[07:31] Comm
    The stars of the prelims can
    barely climb these walls!
[07:34] Comm
    This is how difficult these problems are!
    This is how different the semis are!
[07:39] G
    I thought this would be easy...
[07:42] G
    ...but I can't even reach the
    zone holds, let alone finish!
[07:45] Hif
    Nobody's finishing all of a sudden.
[07:48] An
    They're semifinal problems.
    This is how it usually goes.
[07:51] An
    They're doing what they can,
    but that's not enough.
[07:54] Hif
    But that Kasahara Konomi girl from
    Hanamiya was sending them with ease.
[07:58] An
    Wasn't she so cool, Kurusu?
[08:00] An
    She cool Kuruised through it all.
[08:02] Bo
    Kasahara Konomi made the crowd go
    crazy multiple times on these walls?
[08:07] Bo
    What is she, some kind of monster?!
[08:10] An
    She's not that cute, though.
[08:13] Hif
    You think?
[08:14] An
    What?
[08:15] Hif
    Y-You're right.
[08:16] An
    Make yourself clear.
[08:18] K
    ...ng... ong...
[08:20] K
    That's wrong.
[08:29] K
    No, don't toe hook that.
[08:32] K
    With your reach, you should...
[08:34] Kuma
    And now the crowd's fallen silent.
[08:37] Kuma
    What's going on?
[08:39] Ri
    Are the walls easy or hard? Which is it?
[08:44] Ku
    If she could climb these,
[08:47] Ku
    there is no way I can't.
[08:50] Ku
    I'll finish this time, for sure.
[08:59] Comm
    Ooba falls.
[09:03] Nak
    Ooba's crashed face-first into
    the semifinal wall... No.
[09:09] Nak
    Into the wall called Kasahara Konomi!
[09:12] Nak
    And it's not only her. Everyone in
    these semis has pride in themselves,
[09:16] Nak
    but they can't unhear the cheers for Kasahara,
    who squeaked in at 20th place.
[09:23] Nak
    "If #20 could one-shot these,"
[09:25] Nak
    "of course I can, too!"
[09:27] Nak
    But they can't,
[09:29] Nak
    and that makes them panic.
[09:31] Ku
    This time...
[09:32] Ku
    I have to do it this time!
[09:35] Nak
    They panic and make mistakes,
    and the more mistakes they make...
[09:48] Kur
    This is nothing!
[09:50] Comm
    And time's up!
[09:53] Comm
    Ooba fails to finish yet again.
[09:58] Comm
    She hasn't sent any of the
    three problems so far.
[10:02] Ku
    Why?
[10:03] Ku
    How could you one-shot these walls
    when you're new to the sport?
[10:09] Ku
    Seriously, what is your deal?
[10:13] Ku
    Why are you like this?!
[10:17] Comm
    Next up, we have Ooba on Problem D,
[10:19] Comm
    and Uehara from Hanamiya Girls'
    attempting Problem A.
[10:23] K
    Again, that crux needs...
[10:26] N
    Jun-chan!
[10:30] J
    I was in good form during the prelims.
[10:33] J
    I'm going to keep that up,
    follow Konomi's lead,
[10:38] J
    and one-shot this!
[10:45] Ku
    The final problem...
[10:47] Ku
    This is it! Understand?
[11:26] K
    No, wrong.
[11:29] K
    It's a tough combination.
[11:31] K
    You have to make sure you don't swing off.
[11:35] Comm
    Uehara falls.
[11:37] J
    What's with this crux?
[11:39] J
    I have to jump to reach it,
[11:41] J
    but if I jump too far I swing right off.
[11:44] J
    Konomi sent this?
[11:45] J
    In one?
[11:53] J
    No... I can't just let that happen.
[12:16] Comm
    Wow, Ooba suddenly let out a massive scream.
[12:19] Comm
    What could be the matter?
[12:22] Ku
    I get it.
[12:24] Ku
    I hate to admit it, but I have to.
[12:27] Ku
    Kasahara Konomi's currently
    in a different league than me.
[12:31] Ku
    What matters now is accepting it and
    contributing what I can to Caterno's bid.
[12:37] Ku
    If I can't finish,
    I have to go for the sure points.
[12:42] Ku
    That's the focus!
[12:43] Comm
    Ooba secures the zone hold!
[12:46] Ku
    This is really as far as I can go.
[12:49] Comm
    Huh? She falls?
[12:51] Comm
    What happened? She seems to have given up.
[12:54] Nak
    That scream of hers was
    a resigned war cry, huh?
[12:59] Nak
    Or should I call it a fall cry?
[13:04] Nak
    She may have been sending
    a message to her teammates.
[13:08] Ku
    I got the zone. That's enough for now.
[13:11] Ku
    I'll leave the rest to Captain and Rina-san.
[13:15] Ku
    Kasahara-san...
[13:18] Ku
    Things won't go this way next time!
[13:26] K
    Huh? Jun-chan?
[13:29] Comm
    And that's time up.
[13:32] Comm
    Uehara couldn't clear or
    secure the zone in Problem A.
[13:42] K
    How?
[13:44] N
    Jun-chan! You can do it next time!
[13:50] Comm
    It's time for Uehara to attempt Problem B.
[14:08] J
    Damn it!
[14:14] Comm
    She falls!
[14:18] Comm
    She falls again!
[14:21] Comm
    It's Uehara's turn to attempt Problem C.
[14:24] N
    Hang in there! You can do it!
[14:36] Comm
    What? Another fall?
[14:43] Comm
    Uehara has to attempt Problem D
    when it's all going wrong for her.
[14:56] Comm
    She falls!
[14:57] Comm
    What could be the problem? She's lacking
    the edge she showed in the prelims.
[15:30] (Flashback) Haruna
    Uehara-san.
[15:31] (Flashback) Haruna
    What're you doing? It looks fun!
[15:34] (Flashback) J
    Kikuchi?
[15:36] (Flashback) J
    I'm training my grip strength.
[15:39] (Flashback) Har
    During break?
[15:41] (Flashback) Har
    Oh, are you on a sports team or something?
[15:44] (Flashback) J
    Not at school, no.
[15:47] (Flashback) J
    But...
[15:49] (Flashback) J
    I do bouldering.
[15:52] (Flashback) Har
    Bol... Bold?
[15:55] (Flashback) J
    Not Bold Voltage
    Max Heart Channel,
okay?!
[15:59] (Flashback) J
    Bouldering. It's a sport
    where you climb walls.
[16:03] (Flashback) Har
    What? That sounds fun!
[16:07] (Flashback) Har
    Say, Uehara-san...
     Wait, can I call you Jun-chan?
[16:12] (Flashback) J
    S-Sure.
[16:14] (Flashback) Har
    And you can call me Haruna.
[16:20] Himepon
    Today on Max Heart*,
    we've got warabimochi!
SIGN    Warabimochi
[16:23] Himepon
    Have you ever tried*
    authentic warabimochi?
[16:28] Himepon
    Bzzt!
[16:30] Himepon
    I don't mean the ones they sell
    in convenience stores.
[16:35] (Flashback) Har
    Jun-chan!
[16:36] (Flashback) Har
    Can I eat with you?
[16:38] (Flashback) J
    Y-Yeah.
[16:43] (Flashback) J
    I watched BolChan.
[16:44] (Flashback) Har
    Seriously? How'd you like it?
[16:47] (Flashback) J
    I didn't get what's so good about it.
[16:50] (Flashback) Har
    I like the brutal honesty.
[16:53] (Flashback) Har
    Honestly, I don't find it very good, either.
[16:57] (Flashback) J
    Then... why?
[16:59] (Flashback) Har
    Well, I've gotta hold up
    my end of the conversation.
[17:04] (Flashback) J
    I don't agree with that, Haruna.
[17:07] (Flashback) J
    If it's boring,
[17:09] (Flashback) J
    forcing yourself to watch it so you
    can talk about it is pointless.
[17:12] (Flashback) Har
    You're so serious about everything.
[17:15] (Flashback) Har
    Anyway, I went and watched
    a video on bouldering!
[17:18] (Flashback) Har
    It was crazy! And you do that?
[17:21] (Flashback) J
    Yeah.
[17:23] (Flashback) Har
    I want to see you climbing.
[17:26] (Flashback) Har
    Can I come watch you compete?
[17:28] (Flashback) J
    I can't compete just yet,
    but I do practice every day.
[17:33] (Flashback) J
    You can come watch me at the gym anytime.
[17:38] (Flashback) Har
    Hang in there, Jun-chan!
[17:46] (Flashback) Har
    You were amazing!
    It made me wanna try!
[17:52] (Flashback) Har
    Do you think I can? I wanna climb!
[17:58] (Flashback) Har
    Wow, this is kinda hard.
[18:02] (Flashback) Har
    Whoa.
[18:03] (Flashback) Har
    This is cool!
[18:07] (Flashback) Har
    That was so much fun!
[18:09] (Flashback) Har
    Can I come again?
[18:12] (Flashback) Har
    We should climb together sometime.
[18:17] (Flashback) Har
    What's wrong?
[18:18] (Flashback) J
    Bouldering's not just a game for me.
[18:22] (Flashback) J
    You don't have to force yourself to join me.
[18:28] (Flashback) J
    It's not a sport you can
    just pick up on a whim.
[18:34] (Flashback) J
    Do you want to take it up seriously?
[18:37] (Flashback) J
    Aren't you just going along with what
    I like, like you do with BolChan?
[18:42] (Flashback) Har
    Jun-chan...
[18:44] (Flashback) J
    If that's how you feel, then don't bother!
[18:49] (Flashback) Har
    I didn't mean to...
[19:03] (Flashback) J
    You don't have to patronize me.
[19:06] (Flashback) J
    Just find something that you enjoy.
[19:10] (Flashback) J
    And when you do, take it seriously.
[19:19] J
    To me...
[19:29] J
    Climbing is my life.
[19:35] J
    Anytime, anywhere,
[19:39] J
    climbing's been the only thing on my mind.
[19:42] J
    It's my everything.
[19:45] J
    I've never cared about anything else.
[19:47] J
    All I've done is climb.
[19:51] J
    Nothing else matters.
[19:56] J
    Climbing is all I have!
[20:04] J
    Why?
[20:08] J
    Why is this happening?
[20:10] Comm
    Uehara falls!
[20:13] Comm
    She does still have time,
    but this next attempt will be her last.
[20:21] Comm
    Oh? What's this?
[20:23] Comm
    Uehara's not moving!
[20:27] J
    I can't.
[20:29] J
    My body's just fine,
[20:32] J
    but my mind's frozen.
[20:36] Comm
    And that's time!
[20:38] Nak
    I didn't expect Uehara to not send
    a single problem in these semis!
[20:43] N
    No... Jun-chan...
[20:54] K
    Jun-chan.
[20:56] K
    Welcome back.
[20:59] K
    I bought some drinks. Want one?
[21:02] K
    Or do you wanna cool down first?
[21:08] J
    Sorry, not right now.
[21:12] K
    Jun...
[21:21] J
    That last attempt...
[21:22] J
    I could've still climbed, but I didn't.
[21:28] J
    I was so afraid of falling again,
    my heart straight-up rejected the wall.
[21:43] J
    A climber too scared to climb could never
    produce the kind of results they want.
[21:50] J
    I'm a total failure of a climber!
[21:59] Himepon
    Don't cry.
[22:00] Himepon
    You'll be fine!
