    Since getting into Yokohama
    Minato Private High School
[00:05] RYO
    on an academic advancement recommendation,
[00:08] RYO
    I've been invited to join their
    practices until I start high school.
[00:14] ALL
    Thank you for having us!
[00:16] RYO
    I finally got the chance to
    meet my idol, Yusa-san.
[00:21] RYO
    But...
[00:27] YUSA
    Middle schoolers!
[00:28] YUSA
    Whatever you do, you'd better not
    get in the way of our practice.

    Yes, sir!
[04:38] EBIHARA
    You're going to be knocking

[04:44] EBIHARA
    This drill will teach you to hit smashes
     straight, with power and accuracy.
[04:49] EBIHARA
    Yusa-kun.
[04:55] SAKAKI
    The prince of the
    badminton world has arrived.
[04:59] RYO
    Back then...
[05:03] RYO
    I couldn't take my eyes off him.
[05:06] RYO
    And now I'm seeing Yusa Kento up close!
[05:13] EBIHARA
    He will now demonstrate how to do it.
[05:16] EBIHARA
    Watch his example closely and
    think carefully about what he does.
[05:20] ALL
    Yes, sir.
[05:22] RYO
    Watch closely and think carefully.
[05:24] EBIHARA
    Your goal is to knock down all
     four tubes within two minutes.
[06:01] SAKAKI
    Whoa, man. He didn't miss a single one.
[06:06] YUSA
    I'd like to see you guys do
    that after seeing it once.
[06:10] YUSA
    There's no way you can.
[06:12] SAKAKI
    What'd you say?!
[06:14] EBIHARA
    Yusa-kun.
[06:19] TAICHI
    What's his problem?
[06:20] YOJI
    His attitude really does stink.
[06:24] SAKAKI
    What a rotten prince.
[06:26] RYO
    So this is what he's like, huh?
[06:31] EBIHARA
    Okay, who wants to go first?
[06:33] MATSUDA
    I will.
[06:45] RYO
    He seems good.
[06:51] YOJI
    Miss!
[06:53] TAICHI
    It looked close, though.
[06:55] EBIHARA
    Yeah, not bad.
[07:06] RYO
    All right!
[07:09] TAICHI
    This guy's good.
[07:11] YOJI
    He sure is!
[07:16] BOTH
    Yes!
[07:19] MATSUDA
    Thank you.
[07:22] SAKAKI
    Three, huh?
[07:23] RYO
    So close. He just needed one more.
[07:29] SAKAKI
    Go, go, go!
[07:31] SAKAKI
    Wait, which one is he?
[07:34] RYO
    That's Taichi-kun, the older twin.
[07:36] SAKAKI
    What? I'm impressed you can tell.
[07:38] RYO
    Oh, uh, it's just a feeling.
[07:40] SAKAKI
    Huh. Go, Taichi!
[07:44] EBIHARA
    All right, let's begin.
[07:49] TAICHI
    Hup!
[07:54] SAKAKI
    Taichi got two, huh?
[08:00] YOJI
    Good work!
[08:01] TAICHI
    Yeah!
[08:06] SAKAKI
    Taichi and Yoji sure do look alike.
[08:09] RYO
    You said it.
[08:11] MATSUDA
    It's like watching a replay.
[08:17] RYO
    You both got two.
[08:19] SAKAKI
    Nice work, twins.
[08:21] SAKAKI
    Ah, but at this rate, that rotten prince'll
     be saying, "I knew you couldn't do it."
[08:27] SAKAKI
    All right! I'm gonna knock down all four!
[08:30] RYO
    Good luck.
[08:33] SAKAKI
    I'm ready!
[08:41] YUSA
    Hah! You're trying too hard.
[08:44] YUSA
    What are you, a giant fan?
[08:46] SAKAKI
    That jerk!
[08:53] TAICHI
    He's hitting it as hard as he can again.
[08:55] YOJI
    He's way too heated.
[08:57] RYO
    But watching him feels kind of refreshing.
[09:00] MATSUDA
    No, he's trying too hard to force it.
[09:07] EBIHARA
    You need to work on your
    control and mentality.
[09:11] SAKAKI
    Yes, sir. Thank you.
[09:17] SAKAKI
    That jerk!
[09:19] SAKAKI
    Damn it!
[09:21] SAKAKI
    Go on, Mizushima.
[09:23] SAKAKI
    Avenge me!
[09:25] RYO
    A-Avenge you?
[09:27] RYO
    Don't pile so much pressure on me.
[09:32] RYO
    I'm ready.
[09:35] RYO
    Focus.
[09:43] SAKAKI
    Don't worry about it, Mizushima!
[09:50] TAICHI
    He's kinda tense.
[09:52] YOJI
    You're moving a little stiff!
[09:54] RYO
    What was it Yusa-san did earlier?
[10:04] RYO
    No, that's not quite right.
[10:11] RYO
    How did he do it?
[10:18] SAKAKI
    Hey, looking good.
[10:24] RYO
    Focus.
[10:29] RYO
    What did Yusa-san do?
[10:39] ALL
    Yeah!
[10:42] RYO
    All right!
[10:46] EBIHARA
    Okay, your two minutes are up.
[10:51] EBIHARA
    Let's take a five-minute break.
[10:54] YOKOKAWA
    They seem like a pretty interesting group.
[11:04] SAKAKI
    Man, this sucks. Nobody got all four.
[11:09] RYO
    I only got one.
[11:11] SAKAKI
    I didn't even get a single one!
[11:14] SAKAKI
    And you seemed to get the
    hang of it partway through.
[11:17] RYO
    You think so?
[11:18] SAKAKI
    Assuming I'm not wrong, of course.
[11:22] SAKAKI
    Anyway, seems coming to Yokohama
     Minato was the right choice.
[11:26] RYO
    Huh?
[11:27] SAKAKI
    Well, y'see, Hojo High tried to recruit me, too.
[11:30] RYO
    What?
[11:31] SAKAKI
    But I chose Yokohama Minato because
    Ebihara-sensei told me you were coming.
[11:38] RYO
    What?
[11:39] SAKAKI
    I want to play doubles with you!
[11:41] RYO
    What?!
[11:42] SAKAKI
    My dream is the Inter-High triple crown.
[11:45] SAKAKI
    I can win the singles by putting in the work
    on my own, but I need you to win the doubles.
[11:52] SAKAKI
    I...
[11:53] SAKAKI
    The way you play badminton... I love it!
[11:56] RYO
    What?
[11:57] SAKAKI
    I have ever since I first played you.
[12:00] SAKAKI
    The way you play is special!
    You know what I mean, right?!
[12:03] RYO
    Um, no, not really...
[12:09] RYO
    After our break, we practiced nonstop.
[12:17] EBIHARA
    That's it for today.
[12:21] TAICHI
    Crap...
[12:23] YOJI
    I can't... breathe...
[12:26] HONGO
    Make sure you guys stretch.
[12:28] ALL
    Yes, sir.
[12:30] RYO
    High school... practices
    are on... another... level.
[12:37] SAKAKI
    Mizushima... You're amazing.
[12:40] RYO
    Huh?
[12:42] SAKAKI
    You're still standing.
[12:44] RYO
    Huh? Oh, right.
[12:46] EBIHARA
    Since today was your first time training
    with us, I put together a light practice.
[12:51] SAKAKI
    Light?
[12:52] EBIHARA
    Starting tomorrow, we'll be
    back to our normal schedule.
[13:03] BOTH
    Hey, watch where you're splashing!
[13:06] SAKAKI
    Still, that was a "light" practice?
[13:09] TAICHI
    Seemed pretty tough to me.
[13:11] YOJI
    Hey, mind telling us who you are?
[13:14] MATSUDA
    What?
[13:15] SAKAKI
    Oh, yeah. Who the hell are you?
[13:19] MATSUDA
    Who am I?
[13:21] SAKAKI
    I've played Kanazawa Nagisa,
    but I didn't see you on the team.
[13:26] MATSUDA
    I transferred in at the
    start of second semester.
[13:29] TAICHI
    Transferred in?
[13:30] YOJI
    From where?
[13:31] MATSUDA
    Shanghai.
[13:32] SAKAKI
    Shanghai?! Wait, as in China?
[13:36] MATSUDA
    My parents had jobs there
    until recently.
[13:38] RYO
    So you started playing...
[13:40] MATSUDA
    Over there, yeah.
[13:42] SAKAKI
    Wow, so Ebihara-sensei's information
    network stretches all the way to China?
[13:47] MATSUDA
    No. He and my father are old acquaintances,
[13:50] MATSUDA
    so he advised me on my future
    when I returned to Japan.
[13:53] SAKAKI
    Oh, huh.
[13:54] MATSUDA
    The subject of badminton happened
    to come up, and he recruited me.
[13:59] RYO
    Matsuda-kun, did they
    offer you a sports rec, too?
[14:01] MATSUDA
    No, I'll take the entrance
    exam if I come here.
[14:04] MATSUDA
    I haven't decided where
    I'm going yet, though.
[14:06] RYO
    Huh?
[14:08] MATSUDA
    Nor if I'll join the badminton team.
[14:11] MATSUDA
    I'm not a fan of older students like him.
[14:14] SAKAKI
    I know what you mean.
[14:16] TAICHI
    He had an awful attitude!
[14:17] YOJI
    Right?
[14:19] RYO
    Yeah. I guess you could say he's a bit
     different from what I was expecting.
[14:23] SAKAKI
    Matsuda, you should play with us!
[14:25] MATSUDA
    What?
[14:27] SAKAKI
    Aren't you frustrated? Don't you hate
    not shutting him up after what he said?
[14:30] SAKAKI
    Don't ya wanna get back at him somehow?
[14:32] SAKAKI
    We need you with us to do that.
[14:37] SAKAKI
    Right? The five of us can work together.
[14:40] MATSUDA
    I'm not a fan of groups.
[14:43] MATSUDA
    Well, bye.
[14:45] ---
    
[14:50] SAKAKI
    The hell? He's no fun.
[14:54] SAKAKI
    Oh well. It'll be the four of us, then.

    Sakaki-kun, you don't actually
    care if there's four of us, do you?
[15:01] SAKAKI
    Huh?
[15:01] YOJI
    All you need is Mizushima-kun, right?
[15:04] SAKAKI
    What?
[15:05] TAICHI
    We heard you earlier.
[15:07] YOJI
    When you said you "loved" him.
[15:09] SAKAKI
    What are you talking about? I said
    I loved how Mizushima plays badminton.
[15:13] BOTH
    Yeah, yeah.
[15:15] SAKAKI

[15:21] SAKAKI

    Yeah, thanks for a bunch of stuff!
[18:59] ALL
    Come hang out sometime!
[19:07] HIROTO
    Today's the last day we wear these uniforms.
[19:11] SHIZUO
    Yeah. The three of us will never
    practice our footwork together again.
[19:17] RYO
    But this isn't the end.
[19:21] RYO
    We'll see each other at
     the prefectural tourney.
[19:24] SHIZUO
    Yeah, Enayama vs. Yokohama Minato.
[19:27] HIROTO
    Ryo, dude, you'd better play doubles.
[19:30] HIROTO
    Otherwise you won't get to play us.
[19:33] RYO
    Doubles, huh?
[19:35] SAKAKI
    I love it!
[19:39] RYO
    Don't worry, I will.
[19:42] SHIZUO
    It's a promise.
[19:44] SHIZUO
    Although, becoming a regular at
    Yokohama Minato doesn't sound so easy.
[20:13] RYO
    Shizuo.
[20:15] SHIZUO
    Hm?
[20:16] RYO
    This isn't the end, but this does end today.
[20:22] RYO
    Badminton's pretty fun, huh?
[20:26] RYO
    Back then...
[20:28] RYO
    Thanks for inviting me to
    join the badminton team.
[20:31] SHIZUO
    We were supposed to
     join the basketball team.
[20:35] RYO
    For three years, all I did
     was play badminton.
[20:39] RYO
    Badminton was all I had.
[20:43] RYO
    But because I was with you guys,
[20:46] RYO
    it was a great three years.
[20:50] SHIZUO
    Ryo...
[20:51] HIROTO
    Aw, man. Don't.
[21:11] RYO
    Well. See you later.
[21:14] SHIZOU
    Yeah, later.
[21:16] HIROTO
    Later.
[21:25] SHIZUO
    Ryo!
[21:27] SHIZUO
    Focus!

    I'm finally starting at Yokohama Minato.
[23:24] RYO
    In addition to us, lots of other new
    students are joining the badminton team.
[23:28] RYO
    It's always encouraging
    to have more teammates.
[23:31] RYO
    What? There are advanced
    placement students, too?
[23:33] RYO
    Their schoolwork can't be easy. Will they
    be able to handle that and badminton?
[23:38] RYO
    Though I should probably
    stick to worrying about myself.
