**[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.*
***SIGN*** Iwakakeru!

**[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!
