Hold your head up high.

Okay.

It's badminton.

What? Bat-min-ton?

Oh, you mean that thing you do during lunch?
**[03:23] RYO**
No, not "bat." *Bad*-minton.
**[03:26] RYO**
Have you ever watched
a match? It's amazing.
**[03:30] ISSHIKI**
Amazing how?
**[03:31] RYO**
How, you ask? Well, uh...

It really makes you think, and
winning makes you unbelievably happy.

Let's go.
**[03:44] ISSHIKI**
Huh? You play bat-min-ton, too?
**[03:46] ISSHIKI**
Matsuda's surprisingly cute.
**[03:49] MATSUDA**
A smash by a top badminton player has
an initial velocity of over 400 kmph.
**[03:53] MATSUDA**
Faster than a bullet train.

What?
**[03:57] MATSUDA**
Wanna try it during lunch?

Welcome to the badminton team, first-years.
**[05:26] HONGO**
Since Yusa and the
others joined last year,
**[05:28] HONGO**
our goal has shifted from participating
in the Inter-High to winning it.
**[05:29] SIGN**
To the Inter-High!!

Champions
**[05:33] HONGO**
We'd like you to practice with that in mind.
**[05:36] HONGO**
Our aim is to become the best in
the country, so give it all you've got!
**[05:40] ALL**
Yes, sir!
**[05:43] HONGO**
Drop your hips more.
**[05:46] HONGO**
We're going to win the Inter-High!
**[05:49] IMAMURA**
"Win"? Nobody told me about that.
**[05:53] EBIHARA**
If this is your first time, watch the
older students closely and copy them.
**[05:56] EBIHARA**
Make sure you're always
thinking as you move.
**[06:00] HONGO**
Trial members, you can do
half the workouts today.
**[06:03] YUSA**
Stop acting like you're guests here.
**[06:07] ALL**
Yes, sir.
**[06:10] HONGO**
If you finish first, you can stop.
The rest of you, get back in line.
**[06:14] HONGO**

Right. Single-arm, single-leg planks.

Y-You're kidding, right? What is this?
**[06:44] SAKAKI**
This is rough, even for me.
**[06:48] EBIHARA**

**[06:53] EBIHARA**

And relax.
**[06:59] ISSHIKI**
We... haven't even...
picked up... a racket yet.

We don't have a girls badminton team.
Should've done your research.
**[07:18] ISSHIKI**
Seriously?
**[07:20] IMAMURA**
What is this?
**[07:28] SAKAKI**
That was a pretty tough day.
**[07:31] RYO**
But we have to be able to keep up.
**[07:35] TAICHI**
Basic training's so *boring*, though.
**[07:37] ISSHIKI**
We never even got to swing a racket.
**[07:41] ISSHIKI**
Later.
**[07:42] SAKAKI**
Good night.
**[07:44] SAKAKI**
See you tomorrow.
**[07:54] RYO**
Those are Horii-kun's and
Imamura-kun's cubbyholes, right?
**[07:57] TAICHI**
Guys are dropping out already!
**[07:59] SAKAKI**
It's too soon to quit like that!
**[08:03] MATSUDA**
They probably wanted
something more casual.

**[08:18] KOBAYASHI**

We're not interested in singles.
**[08:25] TAICHI**
We're gonna become
doubles champions, you hear?
**[08:28] KOBAYASHI**
Uh, right...
**[08:31] KUWANA**
Try resting your thumb
on the racket like this.
**[08:34] NONOMURA**
Like this?
**[08:36] KUWANA**
Yup, that's it. That'll make it
easier to hit it wherever you want.
**[08:42] BOTH**
Yeah! All right!
**[08:46] HONGO**
Keep your elbow in.
**[08:49] HONGO**
Make sure the racket face
isn't pointing upwards.
**[08:52] HONGO**
Here we go.
**[08:56] ISSHIKI**
Hey, that felt kinda good.
**[09:03] YOKOKAWA**
Don't worry about it. Again.
**[09:07] YOKOKAWA**
Your swing's too late.
**[09:09] YOKOKAWA**
Beginners usually have a
problem with swinging too early.
**[09:14] AKIRA**
Sorry. I'm so clumsy...
**[09:17] SAKAKI**
It's all right.
**[09:19] SAKAKI**
Get pumped!
**[09:21] AKIRA**
Okay.

**[09:29] RYO**
What?
**[09:30] YUSA**
Who, me?
**[09:32] RYO**
Oh, no! I wouldn't *dare*!
**[09:35] EBIHARA**
You don't want to play him?
**[09:37] RYO**
Oh, no! Wait! I mean, yes, uh...
**[09:41] RYO**
Yes, please!
**[09:45] YUSA**
Yes, sir.
**[09:48] RYO**
* I have to sear into my memory everything*
* I can steal from how this guy plays.*
**[10:01] RYO**
*I have no idea what he just did.*
**[10:06] YUSA**
This doesn't even make for decent practice.
**[10:08] RYO**
Let's go again. Please, let's go again.
**[10:20] RYO**
*Focus.*
**[10:33] RYO**
Ow, ow, ow...
**[10:36] YUSA**

That's enough for now, Mizushima.
You didn't live up to your name.

**[10:50] MATSUDA**
I'm sure it was a coincidence.
**[10:53] RYO**
*I wasted my chance!*
**[10:58] YOKOKAWA**
You know, it's good to help the first-years
train, but don't go too hard on them.
**[11:03] YOKOKAWA**
You'll break them.
**[11:04] YUSA**
What? You think that's enough to break them?
**[11:08] YUSA**
Weaklings.

Nonomura this time, huh?
**[13:07] YOJI**
But he was trying so hard.
**[13:09] AKIRA**
He said it'd be hard for him to keep
up with practices and his studies.

He put a lot of thought into his decision.
**[13:16] SAKAKI**
I see.

Wait, how do you know that?

We're both on the advanced

Advanced academics?

No way. Uchida-kun, you're on

That must mean you're *super* smart.
**[13:31] TOJI**
Super smart.
**[13:34] SAKAKI**
By the way, Mizushima, didn't you get
in on an academic advancement rec?
**[13:39] RYO**
Oh, did I?
**[13:40] SAKAKI**
Huh?
**[13:43] RYO**
*I need to work harder.*
**[13:47] HONGO**
Final half-lap!
**[13:49] HONGO**
Let's sprint!
**[14:04] HONGO**
Uchida! It's okay to be slow.
**[14:07] HONGO**
Don't stop moving your feet.
**[14:09] AKIRA**
Yes, sir.
**[14:10] TAICHI**
I'm impressed he hasn't quit.
**[14:12] YOJI**
Studying for the advanced academics
course must be hard enough.
**[14:16] SAKAKI**
Yeah.
**[14:18] MATSUDA**
You guys are lucky you're here
on sports recs. You've got it easy.
**[14:21] SAKAKI**
Now, listen here, you!
**[14:23] SAKAKI**
Every single day, we have to battle the
pressure of losing it all if we get injured.
**[14:28] SAKAKI**
You jerk!
**[14:30] MATSUDA**
Cut it out!
**[14:31] SAKAKI**
You little...
**[14:32] MATSUDA**
I said cut it out!
**[14:33] RYO**
Good work.
**[14:35] RYO**
Here.
**[14:37] AKIRA**
Ah, thank you... very much.
**[14:40] SAKAKI**
You've got guts.
**[14:42] AKIRA**
You think so?
**[14:43] SAKAKI**
This is the only thing
we've ever been good at.
**[14:46] MATSUDA**
We're not the same.
**[14:49] SAKAKI**
Uchida, you're a beginner.
**[14:51] SAKAKI**
Studying for entrance exams
must've left you out of shape, huh?
**[14:54] KOKI**
I'm fine. Besides, they say a journey of a
thousand miles begins with a single step.
**[15:09] YOKOYAMA**
You're still swinging late.
**[15:12] AKIRA**
Sorry!
**[15:14] TAICHI**
He's like an electric fan.
**[15:16] YOJI**
If you gave him a paper fan,
he'd cool you down good.
**[15:21] EBIHARA**
Uchida-kun, did you do any
sort of exercise before?
**[15:25] AKIRA**
Oh, uh, yes. I played
ping pong in middle school.
**[15:27] EBIHARA**
I see. Then, when you swing
your racket, try saying that.
**[15:33] SIGN**
Push Forward
**[15:33] SIGN**
Yokohama Minato High School
**[15:33] SIGN**
Parents Association
**[15:33] EBIHARA**
Say "push forward" as you're swinging.
**[15:38] AKIRA**
Push forward?
**[15:40] EBIHARA**
No, not "push for-*ward*."
**[15:42] EBIHARA**
"Push *for*-ward."
**[15:45] EBIHARA**
That's the timing.
**[15:46] YOKOKAWA**
Let's give a shot.
**[15:48] AKIRA**
Yes. Please.
**[15:51] AKIRA**
Push...
**[15:52] AKIRA**
*for*-ward.
**[15:56] SAKAKI**
Whoa! Hey, you did it, Uchida!
**[15:59] AKIRA**
I hit it!
**[16:01] AKIRA**
Sir, thank you.
**[16:05] EBIHARA**
Keep it up.
**[16:06] YOKOKAWA**
What's going on here?
**[16:08] YUSA**
The reach of a badminton racket is pretty
different from that of a ping pong paddle.
**[16:13] YUSA**
He must've been subconsciously
timing it to a ping pong paddle's reach.
**[16:16] YUSA**
In a way, he was very precise
in how he was missing it.
**[16:20] SIGN**

Huh? Wait, you knew, didn't you?
**[16:30] YOKOKAWA**
You should've told me!
**[16:31] AKIRA**
Push *for*-ward. Push *for*-ward. Push *for*-ward.
**[16:46] ISSHIKI**
Here you go.
**[16:47] RYO**
Thanks.
**[16:49] ISSHIKI**
Sorry about this. You wanted to go
home with the other guys, didn't you?
**[16:53] RYO**
No, it's fine. What did
you want to talk about?
**[17:01] ISSHIKI**
Honestly, I don't think I can keep up.
**[17:07] ISSHIKI**
And in my case, I had
not-so-innocent motives to begin with.
**[17:10] RYO**
It doesn't matter how you get started.
**[17:12] ISSHIKI**
Either way, you guys are weird.
**[17:15] RYO**
Huh?
**[17:16] ISSHIKI**
How can you keep doing it when it's so tough?
**[17:20] ISSHIKI**
Do you really believe you
can become national champs?
**[17:24] ISSHIKI**
Things don't always go your way
just because you work hard.
**[17:28] ISSHIKI**
That's how the world works.
**[17:32] ISSHIKI**
Just today, Uchida was delighted
because he managed to hit the shuttle.
**[17:39] ISSHIKI**
You guys are already at a
level where you can play,
**[17:42] ISSHIKI**
but he'll never become
a regular on the team.
**[17:46] ISSHIKI**
He'll figure it out right
away since he's smart.
**[17:49] ISSHIKI**
When he does, he'll stop coming.
**[17:51] RYO**
Isshiki-kun...
**[17:53] ISSHIKI**
I don't want to look back on
my high school experience
**[17:56] ISSHIKI**
and realize I spent all three
years on nothing but practice.
**[18:01] ISSHIKI**
I wanna goof off and go on dates with girls.
**[18:05] ISSHIKI**
I've got a lot of things
I want to do right now.
**[18:09] RYO**
I understand, but...
**[18:14] ISSHIKI**
Oh, no, I'm not saying
what you're doing is *wrong*...
**[18:17] ISSHIKI**
I just don't understand it.
**[18:21] ISSHIKI**
Later.
**[18:29] GIRL**
Let us come to badminton
practice sometime.
**[18:31] ISSHIKI**
Seriously? Okay, sure.
**[18:33] GIRL**
Really? You'd better.
**[18:35] ISSHIKI**
I'll make sure you can.
**[18:36] RYO**
* Why couldn't I proudly state that I really*
* am trying to become a national champ?*
**[18:47] SAKAKI**
I expected Isshiki to quit,
but Uchida, too, huh?
**[18:51] YOJI**
But he seemed so happy yesterday.
**[18:53] TAICHI**
They're all gone now.
**[18:56] MATSUDA**
Don't go after the ones who leave you.
**[18:59] SAKAKI**
Man, you're cold.
**[19:03] AKIRA**
I hit it!
**[19:05] ISSHIKI**
He'll stop coming.
**[19:13] SAKAKI**
Uchida!
**[19:15] AKIRA**
Hello, everyone.
**[19:17] RYO**
Uchida-kun, what are you doing?
**[19:19] AKIRA**
My sixth period class got canceled,
so I thought I'd come here early.
**[19:24] SAKAKI**
I see.
**[19:26] SAKAKI**
So that's what happened!
**[19:28] TAICHI**
We're sorry. We assumed you'd quit.
**[19:31] AKIRA**
What? Why?
**[19:33] TAICHI**
Huh?
**[19:34] AKIRA**
I wouldn't quit.
**[19:36] AKIRA**
After all, I want to get better at badminton.
**[19:40] AKIRA**
And besides...
**[19:42] AKIRA**
I'm having a lot of fun right now.
**[19:46] SAKAKI**
Yeah. Yeah! Badminton's fun, ain't it?
**[19:50] TAICHI**
We'll teach you anything you don't know.
**[19:53] YOJI**
We'll share our special
protein powder with you.
**[19:55] AKIRA**
Th-Thank you.
**[19:58] SAKAKI**
Jeez, bro, don't confuse us like that.
**[20:00] AKIRA**
What?
**[20:00] AKIRA**
Did I do something wrong?
**[20:02] SAKAKI**
Your shoes weren't in the club room.
**[20:04] BOTH**
Yeah.
**[20:05] AKIRA**
Oh, I put them in an empty cubbyhole.
It's easier than using the lower ones.
**[20:10] SAKAI**
Seriously?
**[20:12] RIKA**
You're standing at the gateway to the
dream you've worked so hard to achieve.
**[20:17] RYO**
*That's right.*
**[20:19] RYO**
*She's right.*
**[20:31] ISSHIKI**
Nonomura?
**[20:32] NONOMURA**
Hey. It's Isshiki-kun, right?
**[20:35] NONOMURA**
Did you quit the badminton team, too?
**[20:37] ISSHIKI**
Yeah.
**[20:38] NONOMURA**
I joined the photography club.
**[20:41] NONOMURA**
This way, I'll be able to
keep up with my studies, too.
**[20:43] SAKAKI**
You can do it!
**[20:44] RYO**
Just a little more!
**[20:45] BOTH**
You're almost there!
**[20:47] TAICHI**
Just a little further!
**[20:48] RYO**
You're almost there!
**[20:49] TAICHI**
You can do it!
**[20:53] AKIRA**
All right!
**[20:55] ISSHIKI**
Hey, let me see that.
**[21:00] ISSHIKI**
Huh. These guys are just
obsessed with badminton.
**[21:07] NONOMURA**
They must really like it.
**[21:09] ISSHIKI**
They're *obsessed*, I tell you.
**[21:11] ISSHIKI**
Well, anyway, I gotta go
meet some girls for karaoke.
**[21:15] RYO**
Seems like you're getting used to it.
**[21:17] AKIRA**
Yes, somehow.
**[21:19] SAKAKI**
I was great from the start.
**[21:27] EBIHARA**
The Inter-High prefectural qualifiers
will be taking place after Golden Week.
**[21:31] EBIHARA**
Like we do every year,
**[21:34] EBIHARA**
we'll be playing ranking
matches to determine our lineup.
**[21:38] RYO**

Apparently, the whole team
plays in a round robin
**[23:23] RYO**
to determine our lineup for the
Inter-High prefectural qualifiers.
**[23:27] RYO**
That means I'll be playing Yusa-san, too.
**[23:30] RYO**
I'm really nervous. But this could
be a good opportunity for me.
**[23:34] RYO**
If I can make some kind of mark, it should
improve his opinion of the first-years.
**[23:38] RYO**
Good luck, you guys.
