[00:01] Mc
Dios mio, so exciting!
[00:03] Mc
Kasahara is amazing us with her skills!
[00:06] Mc
Incredible!
[00:08] Mc
Appearing out of nowhere half a year ago
and taking several competitions by storm,
[00:11] Mc
she became climbing's new star!
[00:13] Mc
Her analytic skills, which help her one-shot
routes like she climbed 'em for years,
[00:17] Mc
are being called "Murder Observation"!
Mamma mia, how marvelous!
[00:21] N
Way to go, Konomin. She's looking good.
[00:24] S
"Murder," though? That's not very nice.
[00:27] N
It fits though, when you
see her in the zone.
[00:31] K
Next up, the crux. The last hold.
[00:33] K
I need to wedge my fingers
in at the very top.
[00:35] K
Wedge my fingers in at
the top of the sloper...
[00:37] K
Top of the sloper...
[00:39] K
or I can't secure it...
[00:40] K
Wedge my fingers in...
[00:42] K
or I can't secure it.
[00:46] Mc
She flashes it! Excellent!
[00:50] K
Yes!
[00:51] Mc
Kasahara Konomi, barrilete cósmico!
Fantastic Murder Observation!
SIGN Iwakakeru!
SIGN Wall 9 The Princess of Climbing
[02:28] N
Congrats on your victory, Konomin!
[02:30] K
Thank you!
[02:32] S
Entering all those competitions over
the past six months has really helped.
[02:36] S
You've built up more stamina and gotten
used to the competitive atmosphere.
[02:40] N
Yeah, yeah!
[02:41] N
You're attracting more
attention from the guys, too.
[02:43] N
Is that why you're wearing
an extra hairpin now?
[02:46] K
Huh? What?
[02:47] K
N-No!
[02:49] N
Really?
[02:51] K
Really!
[02:52] K
It's a symbol of my desire for Hanamiya
to win the Combined Japan High School Cup!
[02:56] N
B-Back up...
[02:57] K
To win as a team! To win!
[02:58] S
You can definitely feel her enthusiasm.
[03:01] N
Yeah...
[03:03] K
What's up?
[03:04] S
Is she here now?
[03:06] N
Who's here?
[03:07] An
Cool Kurusu! Thanks for
being here to welcome me!
[03:12] C
Anne-chan! Cool Kurusu!
[03:16] N
What?
[03:17] K
Kurusu Anne-san?
[03:19] An
Everyone... Cool Kurusu!
[03:22] C
Cool Kurusu!
[03:25] K
Whoa.
[03:26] S
Didn't you know? She's scheduled to perform
an exhibition climb here in a bit.
[03:30] N
Seriously? Let's go watch!
[03:32] An
Thanks for greeting me,
everyone! Cool Kurusu!
[03:36] C
Not at all! Cool Kurusu!
[03:39] An
A Cool Kurusu to you all!
[03:45] An
Hey, it's Yotsuba Sayo-chan!
[03:47] N
Huh? Do you know her?!
[03:50] S
I don't.
[03:51] K
Uh, she's coming this way.
[03:54] An
Long time, no see.
[03:56] An
I haven't seen you since that
last competition, Yotsuba-chan.
[03:59] S
Yes.
[04:00] S
I'm honored that someone who competes with
climbers all over the world remembers me.
[04:07] An
Why wouldn't I, Cool Kurusu?
[04:09] An
You, Iwamine-chan, and Fujita-chan are
famous as the Three Climbing Dames.
[04:15] An
Oh, what's this?
[04:17] An
Aren't you Kasahara Konomi-chan?
I didn't know you were here, too!
[04:20] K
What? You know of me?
[04:23] An
Of course I do. Kasahara Konomi-chan,
with the Murder Observation.
[04:27] An
Everyone in climbing is talking
about you now, Cool Kurusu!
[04:32] K
Oh, you flatter me!
[04:34] An
I've been wanting to meet you.
[04:39] An
Say, Konomi-chan, do you
mind being friends with me?
[04:43] K
Huh? Uh, I'd love to.
[04:46] An
Yay! That's so cool, Kurusu!
[04:48] An
Oh, right.
[04:51] An
Guys, I have an announcement!
[04:53] C
What's this?
[04:53] C
Are they doing something together?
[04:55] C
Are Anne-chan and Kasahara Konomi
up to something?
[04:55] C
What is it? What is it?
[04:57] An
I want to hold an exhibition match,
Anne vs. Kasahara Konomi.
[05:03] An
Me climbing by myself would just be boring.
[05:07] K
Wai...
[05:08] An
Gotta live up to expectations, right?
[05:12] K
A duel?
[05:14] S
It's a discipline you sometimes
see in competition finals.
[05:18] S
Climbers get one minute to observe, then
attempt the same problem simultaneously.
[05:22] S
Whoever finishes first wins.
[05:24] S
It's basically like the halfway
point between speed and bouldering.
[05:28] N
Anyway, it's just something
Anne-chan came up with on a whim,
[05:32] N
so you could just turn it down.
[05:34] S
I personally don't see a need to refuse.
[05:36] K
Of course I'll do it.
[05:38] K
Gotta live up to expectations.
[05:41] Bo
"Expectations"?
[05:43] Mc
Ladies and gentlemen!
[05:45] Mc
The exhibition match of a
lifetime is about to begin!
[05:48] Mc
The rules are simple.
[05:49] Mc
Whoever presses their button
atop the wall first wins!
[05:52] Mc
First, we have today's champion, Kasahara
Konomi, with her Murder Observation!
[05:59] Mc
Her opponent: ruler of the girls'
climbing world, the Princess of Climbing,
[06:03] Mc
Kurusu Anne!
[06:05] An
Cool Kurusu!
[06:07] C
Anne-chan!
[06:09] Mc
Okay, start the observation process!
[06:15] K
A wall with an overhang...
[06:16] K
Not many moves to make. Maybe five or six.
[06:18] K
Most of the moves involve
pushing, not pulling,
[06:21] K
including the crux at the end
which requires a mantel.
[06:24] K
But I can't gauge the distance
to the top from here.
[06:27] Mc
Observation time's up!
[06:29] K
What? Already?
[06:30] K
I'm not done yet.
[06:32] Mc
Let's start the exhibition match!
[06:34] Mc
Three, two, one... Go!
[06:35] K
I'll push down on the hold
with my wrist and reach out.
[06:42] K
Okay, so far, so good.
[06:45] K
Now to mantel the crux.
[06:52] K
S-So far!
[06:55] K
Get it!
[06:56] K
Almost there!
[06:58] An
You're almost there.
[07:02] An
You can do this, Konomi-chan! Hang in there!
[07:07] An
Come on! Come on!
[07:11] K
I was no match for her.
[07:14] An
Konomi-chan.
[07:15] An
Thanks for accepting this sudden match up.
[07:19] An
I had lots of fun!
[07:25] An
Guys, give Konomi-chan a big Cool Kurusu!
[07:29] C
Konomi-chan! Cool Kurusu!
[07:32] An
Konomi-chan.
[07:34] An
Let's climb together again sometime.
[07:37] K
Sure.
[07:40] K
I've got so much to learn.
[07:42] K
I climb so slowly, too.
[07:45] An
Cool Kurusu! Your heart's
going on a cool Kuruise!
[07:49] K
Anne-san?
[07:51] An
Wow, do you always post-climb
analyze by yourself?
[07:56] K
Oh, I guess.
[07:57] An
So admirable!
[07:58] K
N-Not really.
[08:00] K
I realized I have so far
to go after that match up.
[08:05] An
You do? I don't think so!
[08:08] K
I do.
[08:09] K
But, one day, I want to be able to win those.
[08:13] K
Not just for myself, but for Hanamiya, too.
[08:17] K
And I want us to win the Combined Japan
High School Cup in two months' time!
[08:22] An
Huh... You want Hanamiya to win?
[08:25] K
Yes! It's our dream!
[08:28] An
Nyuk, nyuk, Cool Nyuks.
[08:31] An
That is just not gonna happen.
[08:34] An
Look at you, letting a teensy-weensy
bit of attention get to your head.
[08:39] An
"Murder Observation"?
"The Three Climbing Dames"?
[08:43] An
It makes me laugh. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
[08:46] An
Allow me to enlighten you.
You girls have no chance in hell,
[08:50] An
because yours truly is gonna
enter that competition.
[08:53] An
Sucks to be you. You can't beat
Kokureikan High with me, a pro, leading it.
[08:58] An
With Hanamiya, of all schools?
Do you even have any decent climbers?
[09:02] An
In the Kanto championships,
one was knocked out in the prelims.
[09:05] An
One in the semis.
One withdrew from the finals.
[09:08] An
And then, you...
[09:11] An
What do you think you girls can even do?
[09:13] An
Come to think of it,
[09:14] An
I haven't seen one of you in a while.
Did she give it up?
[09:18] An
Smart choice. Not like she had
any talent for this, anyway.
[09:22] An
Your little "dream" will remain just that!
[09:25] K
Why... Why would you say
such hurtful things?!
[09:28] An
Why, you ask?
[09:36] An
Because the truth hurts.
[09:38] K
I'm going to beat you and win
the Combined Japan High School Cup!
[09:43] An
You what?
[09:48] An
Cool Kurusu would love to see you try.
[09:53] Hi
Welcome back.
[09:54] Hi
How'd the exhibition climb go?
[09:58] An
I wasn't the least bit excited about
entering a high school competition,
[10:02] An
but now I'm looking forward to it a little.
[10:06] N
You and Anne-chan talked in the showers?
[10:09] K
Y-Yeah.
[10:11] S
She's entering, is she?
[10:13] ---
Yeah.
[10:14] N
As if Kokureikan wasn't a
powerhouse without her, too.
[10:18] S
Oh, they aren't the only
powerhouses we're up against.
[10:22] S
You learned something important
in that exhibition match, didn't you?
[10:27] K
I did.
[10:28] K
I'm not fast enough.
[10:30] S
Correct.
SIGN Example Speed 35th Bouldering 2nd Lead 3rd
[10:31] S
When you compete in all three disciplines,
your rankings in each are multiplied
[10:35] S
and the lower your score, the better it is.
[10:38] N
So, it'll be hard to place if
you do badly in any discipline.
[10:43] S
If we're aiming for victory as a team,
we need to train with a focus on speed.
[10:49] N
We need a speed climbing coach.
[10:52] S
We already have one.
[10:53] S
Hanamiya's very own trusty speedster.
[11:16] J
Welcome.
SIGN Receptionist
[11:19] J
Take care and have fun.
[11:22] J
Ugh.
[11:24] J
It's great that I get to
use this gym for free,
[11:27] J
but I really am allergic to this stuff.
[11:30] U
This is so hilarious.
[11:33] U
Uehara Jun is smiling?
[11:36] J
Why'd the new hire have
to be you, of all people?
[11:39] U
Right back at you.
[11:42] U
I wasn't expecting to see you working here...
[11:45] U
Li'l Miss Loser.
[11:46] J
What.
[11:47] U
Mew sure embarrassed yourself
in that last bouldering competition.
[11:51] J
Well, if I'm a loser, what does that make you?
You crashed out in the prelims.
[11:55] U
'scuse me?
[11:56] U
You picking a catfight?
[11:58] J
You started it.
[12:03] C
Uehara-sensei!
[12:04] C
When are we starting bouldering class?
[12:06] C
We're all here.
[12:08] J
Oh, sorry. I'll be right there,
so wait by the wall.
[12:11] C
Gotcha.
[12:12] C
Let's go.
[12:18] U
A sourpuss like you,
teaching a bouldering class for kids?
[12:22] J
Shut up! Not one more word!
[12:24] U
Well, since you have seniority
here at work and all,
[12:27] U
I'll come and watch for refurrence, okay?
[12:30] U
Uehara-sensei?
[12:32] J
Tch. Do what you want.
[12:37] J
Today, I'll be teaching you
how to identify problems.
[12:41] C
Bouldering!
[12:42] J
Urk, they're so hyper.
[12:45] J
Climbing gyms have a litany of holds,
[12:48] J
and their color represents which problem
they belong to and how difficult it is.
[12:52] J
A set course mapped on a
wall is called a "route."
[12:55] J
Its start is marked by an "S" sticker
and its goal with a "G."
[13:02] C
I don't get it!
[13:04] C
You keep using big words,
Uehara-sensei!
[13:07] J
S-Sorry.
[13:09] J
I thought I was keeping it simple...
[13:13] U
They're really hating on you, Uehara-sensei.
[13:16] J
Not the time for jokes!
[13:17] U
Well, just watch me.
[13:18] U
If you can manage to get
your claws into them, you win.
[13:24] U
Hear me, my little kittens.
[13:26] U
You know what bouldering is all about?
[13:29] U
It's a game where mew have to
collect gems of the same color!
[13:35] C
Collect gems! Game!
[13:38] C
Mew!
[13:39] J
The mew, too?!
[13:40] U
You collect gems of the same
color as the starting gem
[13:44] U
and if you reach the goal gem, mew win!
[13:47] C
Reach the goal gem, mew win!

Why is she so good at teaching when she's

Those purple gems!
[14:27] U
Okay, okay. Purrple, eh?
[14:29] U
Ack.
[14:31] J
Dug your own grave.
[14:33] J
The purple problem is the most
difficult one this gym has.
[14:36] J
Can you climb it?
[14:37] U
Uh, then, we shall now
collect these purple gems.
[14:42] U
Uehara-sensei will collect them for mew!
[14:45] J
H-Hey, who said you could...
[14:48] U
Isn't this your class?
[14:50] U
Just look.
[14:52] U
Get a load of their hopeful gazes.
[14:55] U
They're waiting on you.
[14:57] U
It's time to prowl.

climb the purple route meow!

First, you place your hands and feet
on the initial purple gems,
[15:10] U
and then...
[15:18] U
What are you doing? Get climbing.
[15:21] U
Are you mad I'm making
you go up the tree?
[15:25] U
What's the big deal?
This problem should be easy for...
[15:31] U
Wait, what?
[15:33] U
Don't tell me... you can't climb?
[15:39] U
Hey!
[15:40] C
Uehara-sensei?
[15:47] J
I'm so sorry.
[15:48] K
Jun-chan.
[15:51] J

[15:59] U
What is her problem?
[16:01] U
She ran off and left me

Wait, why am I even hiding?
[16:12] K
You're working here, huh?
[16:14] J
Yeah.
[16:15] K
Wrong! That's not what I want to ask her!
[16:18] K
Uh, the other day in school...
[16:20] J
It's fine.
[16:22] J
I'm doing it again.
That's not what I want to say.
[16:29] J
I need to go.
[16:31] K
Oh, wait!
[16:32] J
What?
[16:33] K
I need you to teach me something.
[16:37] K
Uh...
[16:38] J
Sorry, but leave.
[16:44] U
Again, why am I skulking around?
[16:47] K
Jun-chan,
[16:48] K
sorry for showing up out of the blue.
[17:03] U
Uehara Jun.
[17:06] J
What?
[17:06] U
You're gonna compete with me.
[17:08] J
Huh?
[17:10] U
Let's see who can climb
that purple problem better.
[17:14] U
If I win, you'll quit this job.
[17:17] J
Wha... I can't do that!
[17:21] J
You got hired because we're short on staff.
[17:25] J
Besides, I...
[17:27] U
You're too afuraid of walls to climb?
[17:30] U
You look like you're about to crumble
into kibble, so I'll help you along.
[17:37] U
Uchimura Akane, the Rookie Killer,
will finish you off.
[17:40] U
Not that mew're a rookie.
[17:43] U
Well, you don't have to accept
if you're a fraidy cat.
[17:46] U
I'll just write it off as Uehara Jun
being finished as a climber...
[17:49] U
Along with the Hanamiya team.
[17:52] J
Hanamiya?
[17:53] U
I heard Yotsuba-san was injured,
[17:57] U
and with you looking like
something the cat dragged in...
[17:59] U
Maybe Hanamiya's already done for.
[18:02] U
What a catastrophe.
[18:11] J
I accept your challenge.
[18:13] J
I'll win and prove what Hanamiya's made of!
[18:20] U
Big words from the little kitty
who couldn't complete one move.
[18:32] C
Wow, Uchimura-sensei!
[18:34] C
You almost had it!
[18:34] C
You were almost at the goal!
[18:37] C
So close!
[18:37] C
Amazing!
[18:39] U
I couldn't send it,
but I did hit a personal best.
[18:43] U
Now it's Uehara-sensei's turn.
[18:46] C
Do your best, Sensei!
[18:48] U
Hope you're a lucky cat.
[18:50] J
No worries. I'll win.
[19:06] J
My hand... my body's still trembling.
[19:10] J
I'm competing here!
[19:11] C
Go!
[19:12] C
Go, Uehara-sensei!
[19:14] C
Sensei!
[19:14] U
If nothing changes, victory is mine.
[19:17] J
Please... Please, my right hand, go up!
[19:21] U
I'll finally beat the Uehara Jun!
[19:26] U
I'll finally...
[19:28] C
Go, Uehara-sensei!
[19:32] U
...beat the...
[19:33] J
Please move.
[19:35] U
The...
[19:37] J
Go up!
[19:38] U
The...
[19:40] J
Why won't you move?
[19:41] U
What is wrong with mew?!
[19:44] U
The Uehara Jun, my butthole!
[19:46] U
You think this is a joke?!
[19:50] U
I'm Uchimura Akane, the Rookie Killer
who'll happily do whatever it takes.
[19:54] U
Ending Uehara Jun for good would make me
the cat who swallowed the canary!
[19:57] U
But...
[19:59] U
Quit messing around!
[20:01] U
Is that how my generation's star climbs?
[20:04] U
Mew climb nothing like
the girl I know and hate!
[20:08] U
If you're... If you're really Uehara Jun,
[20:13] U
hurry up and reach the ceiling,
then look down on me from up there!
[20:23] J
I was a perfectly ordinary little girl.
No likes, no goals, no individuality.
[20:29] J
Then I happened to
come across these walls
[20:33] J
and before long, I was obsessed
with the sport of climbing.
[20:36] J
I...
[20:40] C
Sensei!
[20:41] C
You can do it!
[20:42] C
Go!
[20:43] C
Sensei!
[20:45] C
Whoa!
[20:48] C
She got the second gem!
[20:49] C
So cool, Sensei!
[20:56] J
I...
[20:58] J
In the limited time I had at the gym,
[21:00] J
I tried and tried to take in the view
from the top as many times as I could.
[21:04] J
Faster, even faster, over and over again.
[21:08] J
During that process, I became more
and more hooked on climbing.
[21:13] J
At the same time, I started
developing tunnel vision.
[21:18] J
When I saw people not climbing well,
[21:21] J
I'd think, "You can't do this.
Go away and let me climb."
[21:25] J
I couldn't stand people who climbed for fun.
[21:28] J
At some point, I completely forgot.
[21:31] J
Even I...
[21:38] J
Even I only started doing
this because I found it fun!
[21:43] J
And...
[21:45] J
And...
[21:49] J
I loved this view from the top!
[21:52] C
Wow! You did it!
[21:59] U
Th-That's the Uehara Jun I know!
And, one day, I'll destroy her!
