[00:03] Sota
    I'm getting so nervous!
[00:05] Seshiru
    Get it together. Aren't you the team manager?
[00:08] Emiko
    An adult should put on a brave front.
[00:10] Sota
    Easier said than done!
[00:14] Ryusei
    If we win this match, we go pro.
[00:16] Ryusei
    If we lose, it's all over.
[00:18] Nozomi
    And we're up against Sleeping Owl.
[00:21] Akito
    That doesn't matter!
[00:23] Akito
    We've bested them before.
[00:25] Akito
    No matter what they do, we'll beat 'em.
[00:27] Akito
    For our sake, and Mio-chan's!
[00:29] Akito
    Right, Shun?
[00:31] Shun
    Yeah. We're gonna win.
[00:33] Shun
    We'll win...
[00:34] Shun
    and help Mio walk again.
[00:36] Yu
    That's right. For sure.
[00:40] Sota
    Yes? Who is it?
[00:46] Yu
    Sakagami-san?
[00:47] Sota
    Who's this?
[00:48] Yu
    My manager.
[00:50] Sota
    Oh, hello!
[00:51] Sota
    Yu-san's been such a team player—
[00:55] Keiko
    How many times do I have to say it?!
[00:56] Keiko
    You can't participate in this!
[00:58] Yu
    But everything is riding on this match!
[01:01] Keiko
    And what if you're exposed?
[01:03] Yu
    This is our most important game yet!
[01:05] Keiko
    I don't care!
[01:06] Keiko
    We're leaving.
[01:10] Nozomi
    Wait.
[01:11] Keiko
    Move.
[01:12] Nozomi
    I won't.
[01:13] Nozomi
    Yu clearly doesn't want to go.
[01:16] Keiko
    This is her job.
[01:17] Nozomi
    This is her job, too!
[01:19] Keiko
    It's not the same as your silly little games.
[01:21] Nozomi
    I am not stepping aside.
[01:25] Yu
    This'll be the last time.
[01:29] Yu
    I'll make this the last time.
[01:31] Yu
    So please...
[01:32] Yu
    Let me play!
[01:35] Yu
    Please!
[01:43] Yu
    Sakagami-san...
[01:45] Keiko
    Don't forget you said that.
[01:54] Yu
    Thank you.
[01:55] Nozomi
    It's okay.
[01:57] Yu
    I'm sorry, guys.
[02:00] Yu
    What terrible timing.
[02:02] Shun
    No, we owe you.
[02:05] Shun
    I can tell you've been through a lot for us.
[02:10] Ryusei
    Don't worry about it.
[02:11] Ryusei
    You're part of the reason
    we made it this far in the first place.
[02:14] Akito
    You heard him.
[02:15] Akito
    Besides, if we lose, we're done for anyway.
[02:18] Seshiru
    And I'd say that went well.
[02:20] Yu
    What?
[02:21] Seshiru
    Your manager's at least going
    to let you play this match, right?
[02:28] Akito
    Yeah! So let's focus on the game for now.
[02:31] Yu
    Right.
[02:33] Shun
    We'll win this match
    and join the pro league for sure!

[02:45] Shun
    If I lose, I'll leave home.
[02:48] Shun
    I'll never see you again.
[02:51] Shun
    If I win, you go to the rehab center!
[02:53] Shun
    And you give that rehab all you've got!
[02:58] Satomi
    Do your best, Shun!
[03:03] MC
    Next on the card is Team Fox One
    versus Sleeping Owl!
[03:07] MC
    This is Team Fox One's final match,
    and their league ticket is on the line!
[03:11] Colorcaster
    If they win, they make it in.
[03:13] Colorcaster
    If they lose, they're out.
[03:15] Colorcaster
    They'd better give it all they've got, huh?
[03:17] MC
    Sleeping Owl's won their last two face-offs.
[03:21] MC
    Can Team Fox One stop their streak?
[03:25] MC
    Sleeping Owl will start on the offense,
[03:28] MC
    while Team Fox One starts on defense.
[03:33] Ryusei
    Enemies at A!
[03:34] Ryusei
    I'll be the distractyon!
[03:40] Ryusei
    Meow no!
[03:42] Akito
    Daneko, could you die any faster?!
[03:47] Akito
    Got their Spreader!
[03:52] Ryusei
    Phantom trading fire
    with Longshot and Heavybarrel!
[03:55] Nozomi
    I'm close! I'll flank them!
[04:00] Nozomi
    I got them!
[04:03] Nozomi
    I got shot by Short!
[04:09] Yu
    One kill!
[04:13] Yu
    They got me!
[04:14] MC
    Fox One's down to their last member!
[04:17] Shun
    It's up to me.
[04:24] Shun
    I took down Jonathan!
[04:25] Shun
    Just one more!
[04:30] VO
    Clutch!
[04:32] Akito
    Another full decoy operation?!
[04:34] Nozomi
    No way!
[04:36] Nozomi
    They fought normally
    in our last two matches...
[04:43] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    Hey, Jonathan-san.
[04:46] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    Would you mind letting me serve
    as IGL in the next match?
[04:50] (Flashback) Jonathan
    What?
[04:51] (Flashback) Sharon
    You gonna make us your decoys again?
[04:53] (Flashback) Riii
    I'm not here to make you look good!
[04:55] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    But we dominated them last time.
[04:58] (Flashback) Gettsu
    It's not just about getting the win!
[05:01] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    Naturally.
[05:03] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    But these are dead rubber matches,
    so we should make them interesting.
[05:06] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    Right, Coach?
[05:07] (Flashback) Coach
    Rox's solo play in the championship
     earned us high praise
[05:11] (Flashback) Coach
    from the management and the sponsors.
[05:14] (Flashback) Sharon
    You're kidding me!
[05:16] (Flashback) Gettsu
    You can't arrange that kind of thing.
[05:18] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    Of course you can. We can, at least.
[05:22] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    We're a top-ranking team, aren't we?
[05:25] (Flashback) Mutsuki
    We can easily throw in a little showmanship.
[05:36] Seshiru
    They're trying that strategy again.
[05:39] Emiko
    What should we do, Seshiru?
[05:41] Seshiru
    Don't worry. We've planned for this.
[05:44] Ryusei
    Everyone, mew-ving on to Plan B!
[05:46] Akito/Shun/Nozomi/Yu
    Copy!
[05:48] Yu
    Nobody acts alone.
[05:49] Yu
    Move to defensive positions
    in two- and three-man cells.
[05:53] Akito
    If you're gonna use decoys
    and beat us from cover,
[05:55] Akito
    then we'll cover our cover to beat your cover!
[06:00] Nozomi
    Do you even know what you just said?
[06:02] Akito
    They're here!
[06:06] Nozomi
    Got 'em!
[06:09] Akito
    There you are!
[06:11] Akito
    Hell yeah!
[06:12] Akito
    Cover mission success!
[06:14] Akito
    What?!
[06:15] Akito
    We beat their cover with our cover,
    but they had cover for their cover?!
[06:19] Nozomi
    I can't understand anything you're saying!
[06:24] Ryusei
    They mew-ved around behind us!
[06:27] Yu
    Because we moved in groups,
    they weaved between us!
[06:31] Yu
    Damn you!
[06:37] Shun
    They knew which areas we'd leave
     unguarded from the start?
[06:57] VO
    Clutch!
[07:06] VO
    Clutch!
[07:15] MC
    We've reached the break.
    Time for teams to strategize.
[07:18] MC
    Sleeping Owl dominated the first five rounds.
[07:21] MC
    Fox One must want to turn the tables, huh?
[07:25] Satomi
    Shun...
[07:30] Coach
    A good, entertaining match.
[07:32] Jonathan
    Rox, can you really get us a flawless victory?
[07:36] Mutsuki
    Of course I can.
[07:39] Keiko
    I feel bad for her,
    but if this gets her to quit...
[07:44] Seshiru
    Damn it! How are they reading our minds?!
[07:47] Akito
    It's no use.
    There's no coming back from this.
[07:50] Nozomi
    What's going on?
[07:51] Nozomi
    Every time we take one of them out,
    they're in position to strike back.
[07:55] Yu
    They can't possibly be that fast.
[07:57] Ryusei
    Does that mean they're
    predicting everything we'll do?
[08:01] Mutuki
    I told you.
[08:03] Mutuki
    I can see the future.
[08:06] Shun
    Can I not beat Mutsuki-kun after all?
[08:09] Mio
    If you want me to walk, prove you can win!
[08:12] Mio
    If you can't, then mind your own business!
[08:16] Mio
    Onii-chan...
[08:18] Shun
    If I lose, I'll leave you alone.
[08:23] Shun
    If something doesn't give... I can't win.
[08:29] Mio
    That can't be happening.
[08:32] Shun
    If I lose...
[08:35] Mio
    If he doesn't win...
[08:39] Shun
    Even though it's my fault...
[08:42] Mio
    Even though it's my fault...
[08:45] Shun
    Even though I want to help her...
[08:47] Mio
    Even though I want to be with him...
[08:50] Shun
    I'll never see Mio...
[08:51] Mio
    I'll never see Onii-chan...
[08:54] Shun/Mio
    ...ever again!
[09:00] Mio
    Win!
[09:02] Mio
    Onii-chan! Win!
[09:09] Sota
    I guess we're screwed.
[09:15] Sota
    Hey, Tokinoya-san.
[09:17] Sota
    Yeah, it's kind of do-or-die right now...
[09:23] Sota
    Shun-kun! Big news!
[09:25] Sota
    Your mother's on the phone!
[09:36] Shun
    Mio!
[09:45] Nozomi
    Mio-chan!
[09:49] Satomi
    Mio! Do your best, Mio!
[09:56] Akito
    She's walking! Mio-chan's walking!
[09:59] Satomi
    Mio!
[10:01] Satomi
    Are you all right, Mio?
[10:02] Shun
    Mio!
[10:04] Mio
    I'm fighting my hardest.
[10:07] Mio
    S-So you better do the same!
[10:11] Mio
    You have to win.
[10:14] Mio
    You have to win so I can see you again!
[10:19] Shun
    Mio, you...
[10:21] Mio
    I'll never, ever forgive you if you don't!
[10:26] Shun
    Yeah.
[10:29] Shun
    I'll win for sure.
[10:30] Shun
    I'll show you.
[10:32] Shun
    I'll come home victorious!
[10:35] Mio
    Okay!
[10:36] Satomi
    Give it your best, Shun.
[10:38] Shun
    Mom, look after Mio.
[10:44] Akito
    Let's do this, Shun!
[10:46] Akito
    Mio-chan came through,
    so we gotta come through too!
[10:49] Nozomi
    The time for sulking is over, yeah.
[10:52] Ryusei
    This is the big moment!
[10:54] Ryusei
    This is the big clutch moment!
[10:58] Yu
    I've decided.
[11:00] Yu
    I've made up my mind, too!
[11:03] Nozomi
    Made up your mind about what?
[11:05] Yu
    This match...
[11:09] Yu
    I'm going to play as myself!
[11:14] Keiko
    That idiot!
[11:15] Audience A
    Huh? Isn't that...
[11:17] Audience B
    She looks a little like that Yu actress.
[11:20] Audience
    What? For real?
[11:22] Audience
    Yu? You think so?
[11:25] Audience
    It's gotta be!
[11:29] Mio
    Yu-san!
[11:34] Nozomi
    Is this really okay, Yu?
[11:37] Yu
    It's not.
[11:39] Yu
    But I can't be the only one hiding in safety.
[11:43] Yu
    I'm laying it all on the line.
[11:46] Nozomi
    Yu...
[11:48] Akito
    I like it!
[11:50] Akito
    We're throwing everything at the wall!
[11:52] MC
    Teams will now swap positions!
[11:54] MC
    The game resumes with
    Team Fox One on the attack!
[11:58] Akito
    So, what's the plan?
[12:00] Ryusei
    Crap! We didn't make one!
[12:02] Nozomi
    What in the world?
[12:04] Yu
    Forget it! I'm charging!
[12:05] Shun
    I'll cover you.
[12:08] Yu
    We made it through!
[12:17] Nozomi
    Shun-chan and I will lead!
[12:20] Shun
    There's just one enemy there.
[12:21] Shun
    I can do it!
[12:22] Ryusei
    Whirlwind of darknyess!
[12:35] Ryusei
    Eraser set!
[12:36] Ryusei
    Try to hold out for 45 seconds!
[12:38] Shun
    Shift to defense!
[12:40] Shun
    Counterfire formation!
[12:41] Nozomi
    Multiple enemies at A-link!
[12:43] Yu
    Crap, they're going to break through!
[12:44] Shun
    Now! Get around behind them!
[12:47] Akito
    Copy!
[12:50] Akito
    Heck yeah! Nice call!
[12:52] Shun
    Akito!
[12:53] Shun
    Get them in a firefight!
[12:54] Akito
    Hey, no real names!
[13:00] MC
    The attackers win!
[13:04] Ryusei
    All right!
[13:06] Seshiru
    Yes!
[13:07] Sota
    We're hanging on by a hair!
[13:09] Riii
    So much for a clean sweep.
[13:12] Mutsuki
    Looks like their fundamental
    strategy has changed.
[13:20] Nozomi
    I'll cover you!
[13:23] Yu
    I'm in too!
[13:24] Ryusei
    Mew-ving on to Plan D!
[13:26] Yu
    Copy!
[13:28] Nozomi/Akito
    Charging!
[13:32] MC
    The attackers win!
[13:34] Akito
    Yes! Our second round!
[13:37] Nozomi
    We can do this!
[13:39] Shun
    I couldn't see the future before.
[13:41] Shun
    Now I can!
[13:43] Shun
    If one's hiding there,
    another will come from here!
[13:47] Shun
    And Rox will be...
[13:49] Shun
    There!
[13:52] Mutsuki
    Not bad.
[13:59] Mutsuki
    Nice one. This is getting fun!
[14:02] Shun
    Now!
[14:09] Sharon
    Why are you laughing over getting shot?
[14:12] Mutsuki
    He can see it. He can see it now!
[14:19] MC
    The attackers win!
[14:21] MC
    Team Fox One has turned it around!
[14:23] MC
    They've taken the lead!
[14:28] Nozomi
    Yes, got him!
[14:32] Nozomi
    Their Longshot's moving to disarm!
[14:34] Jonathan
    I'll disable the eraser.
[14:36] Jonathan
    Keep them at bay!
[14:39] Mutsuki
    It's quicker to annihilate them.
[14:41] Colorcaster
    Rox coming in with the double kill!
[14:43] MC
    Sleeping Owl takes one back!
[14:45] MC
    We're now at match point, six to six!
[14:50] Akito
    Next round will be the last.
[14:52] Nozomi
    Yeah. This decides everything.
[14:55] Yu
    We have to win!
[14:57] Ryusei
    Let's dig deep!
[15:08] MC/Audience
    Open fire!
[15:12] Ryusei
    I'm rushing to B!
[15:15] Ryusei
    Or was I just a diversion?!
[15:19] Ryusei
    No, I was actually the main force!
[15:23] Shun
    There's only one guy. B's our target!
[15:25] Akito
    All right!
[15:27] Ryusei
    Charge!
[15:30] Shun
    They're here!
[15:31] Akito
    That was fast!
[15:34] Riii
    Don't you get cocky!
[15:39] Yu
    Shun! Plan X!
[15:47] Yu
    Charging!
[15:49] Shun
    I've got your six!
[15:52] Yu
    I can't see!
[15:53] Shun
    I'll take over!
[16:02] Riii
    Damn it!
[16:03] Shun
    Clear!
[16:04] Yu
    Nice!
[16:06] Shun
    Eraser set!
[16:09] Shun
    Keep it safe for 45 seconds!
[16:11] Others
    Copy!
[16:21] Akito
    Shit!
[16:28] Ryusei
    I return to the darkness.
[16:31] Shun
    Where is he?
[16:32] Shun
    Where is he?!
[16:43] Shun
    I missed the headshot?
[16:49] Shun
    Out of ammo!
[17:16] Nozomi/Yu
    If we go down, we go together!
[17:29] Yu
    There!
[18:58] MC
    Victory!
[19:01] MC
    They've secured sixth place
    and their spot in the league!
[19:06] Seshiru/Emiko
    They did it! They did it!
[19:13] Akito
    We did it! We really did it, Shun!
[19:18] Shun
    Yeah.
[19:20] Nozomi
    I'm exhausted!
[19:21] Ryusei
    Yeah. It was a long, hard fight.
[19:24] Shun
    Actually...
[19:27] Shun
    I don't think I've ever had
    as much fun as I just did.
[19:33] Yu
    Yeah, me either.
[19:36] Mutsuki
    Shun-kun.
[19:44] Mutsuki
    Today's match was great.
[19:47] Mutsuki
    I knew you could do it.
[19:51] Mutsuki
    And now that you're stronger,
    I get to keep fighting you.
[19:55] Mutsuki
    I'm really happy.
[19:58] Mutsuki
    See you.
[19:59] Mutsuki
    I'm looking forward to next time.
[20:02] Mutsuki
    Welcome to my world.

    You've really gone and done it now.
[20:23] Yu
    Sakagami-san?
[20:25] Keiko
    That stunt today cost you a lot of fans.
[20:28] Keiko
    I managed to save face with our affiliates
[20:31] Keiko
    by telling them "Phantom Ninja"
    was a secret project of ours.
[20:35] Keiko
    But do you realize how hard
    it was for me to explain all this?
[20:39] Yu
    I'm truly sorry.
[20:43] Keiko
    Now we've got to talk about what comes next.
[20:48] Keiko
    Why not let our agency handle

    Yeah.

    It's good to be home.
