[00:10] Seshiru     They've swapped out Fox One's whole lineup! [00:13] Emiko     Is that bad? [00:15] Seshiru     It totally sucks! [00:16] Seshiru     My fave, Yurukki, isn't playing! [00:19] Emiko     Did you just come here to watch your fave? [00:23] Seshiru     Of course I did! [00:24] Seshiru     Why else would I? [00:26] Emiko     You said esports was fun, [00:29] Emiko     so I thought you came to watch the matches. [00:32] Seshiru     I came to watch Yurukki's matches, duh! [00:34] Seshiru     But he didn't say a thing     on social media about quitting! [00:40] Seshiru     Who even are they? [00:41] Seshiru     A creepy guy, a boring guy, and a flirt... [00:44] Seshiru     And two girls, one in a mask! [00:48] Seshiru     How dare you?! [00:50] Seshiru     You'll pay, Fox One! [00:52] Seshiru     Give me back my fave! [00:59] Akito     Jonathan? [01:01] Akito     What's going on here? [01:03] Sota     So that's why I couldn't talk him out      of quitting. He had a new team lined up. [01:07] Yu     If you're gonna be in the finals, [01:09] Yu     might as well be on a winning team. [01:14] Jonathan     Fox One's seen a full turnover. [01:17] Jonathan     I didn't think everyone would quit     the minute I left. [01:21] Coach     What's going on here, Jonathan? [01:22] Coach     These aren't the members     in the data you brought me. [01:25] Jonathan     It should be fine, Coach. [01:27] Jonathan     They're all amateurs. [01:29] Coach     Amateurs? [01:31] Jonathan     Customers and part-time workers from the shop. [01:34] Jonathan     We won't need their data. [01:36] Coach     All right. [01:38] Coach     With Kaizo out, this will be up to you. [01:40] Coach     Give us your best. [01:42] Jonathan     Yes, sir. [01:43] Mutsuki     Go all out, Jonathan-san. [01:46] Mutsuki     We're counting on your skill as our IGL. [01:49] Jonathan     Yes. I'm counting on you too, Rox. [01:52] Mutsuki     Roger. [03:26] Sota     With a lineup like that,     Jonathan must be the IGL, [03:28] sign     Episode 4     A Promise That Connects     -3way Handshaking- [03:30] Sota     their in-game leader. [03:32] Shun     What should we do? [03:33] Akito     Focus on Jonathan if he's calling the shots? [03:36] Nozomi     If he plays his usual way,     he'll stay off the front lines. [03:39] Ryusei     Maybe we should stick to our original plan? [03:43] Sota     Listen up. [03:44] Sota     How's about our well-coordinated trio     that goes way back, [03:47] Sota     Shun, 656, and Zané,     attack as a three-man cell? [03:53] Sota     Phantom Ninja and Daneko, you give     commando support where necessary. [03:58] All     Copy. [04:01] Akito     I can't believe "Zané" stuck. [04:03] Ryusei     You've got it better than me. [04:04] Ryusei     I'm freaking "Daneko"! [04:07] Yu     I can't believe we're up     against the favorites first. [04:10] Nozomi     And our team's former top player, at that. [04:13] Shun     Still, we've got to win. [04:17] Sota     That's right! [04:18] Sota     I can't pay my debts unless you win! [04:22] Sota     I'm counting on you guys! [04:28] MC     All right, let's start the Xaxxerion      championship playoffs [04:31] MC     with the first match of Group A! [04:33] MC     It's favorite Sleeping Owl versus [04:35] MC     a team in their first top-eight appearance, [04:38] MC     Team Fox One! [04:40] Akito     Figured Jonathan would use Longshot. [04:43] Nozomi     He can direct the whole team while     surveying the field as a sniper. [04:46] Nozomi     That's his typical MO. [04:48] Shun     Their ace player, Rox, is playing Persuader      with a high-caliber assault rifle. [04:52] Yu     So he's an aggressive attacker      with lots of kills. [04:55] Yu     Just like you, Shun. [04:56] Akito     Me on Longshot and 656 on Spreader      can provide Shun backup. [05:00] Shun     Let's start off guarding Point A. [05:02] Akito     Then Phantom on Sanada and     Daneko on Heavybarrel can watch B. [05:06] Ryusei     Stop calling me Daneko, Zané! [05:08] Akito     Don't call me Zané, Daneko! [05:12] MC     The match starts in... [05:14] All     Five! [05:15] All     Four! [05:16] All     Three! [05:17] All     Two! [05:18] All     One! [05:21] All     Open fire! [05:23] MC     Sleeping Owl is the attacker for round 1. [05:26] MC     Team Fox One is defending. [05:28] MC     Now, what kind of back-and-forth will we see? [05:31] Emiko     Hey, Seshiru. [05:32] Emiko     Do you have to beat everyone     on the other team to win? [05:34] Seshiru     Emiko, didn't you learn     the rules before you came? [05:37] Emiko     You know this is my first time. [05:39] Seshiru     Honestly, you're pitiful. [05:42] Seshiru     You start with one team attacking     and one team defending. [05:47] Seshiru     Sleeping Owl's the attacker right now. [05:49] Seshiru     Fox One is the defender. [05:51] Seshiru     The attacking team needs to set a bomb [05:54] Seshiru     called an eraser at their target     within the time limit. [05:58] Seshiru     If they can set it off, they win the round. [06:01] Seshiru     The team only gets one eraser. [06:03] Seshiru     They can plant it at one of two     targets: Point A or Point B. [06:07] Seshiru     Either one will get you the win. [06:12] Akito     They're rushing Point A!     Might be their whole team! [06:14] Yu     En route to A! [06:16] Ryusei     I'll come around the back! [06:17] Seshiru     If the defending team prevents     the explosion, they take the round. [06:21] Seshiru     The first team to bag     seven rounds is the victor. [06:26] Ryusei     I return to the darkness... [06:27] Akito     No way! A frag there? [06:29] Shun     We're just one man down. [06:30] Shun     We're not out yet. [06:31] Emiko     What was that? [06:33] Seshiru     A frag grenade. [06:36] Seshiru     There are also smoke and flash grenades. [06:40] Seshiru     Each player starts the game with     their preferred selection of three. [06:50] Shun     I haven't seen Rox. [06:52] Shun     Is he hiding in the back? [06:59] VO     Eraser set. [07:01] Shun     The eraser's down! [07:03] Nozomi     It's not at point A. [07:04] Nozomi     It's at B! [07:05] Akito     The rush was a diversion?! [07:07] Nozomi     I'm heading to B. [07:09] Emiko     Sleeping Owl set their bomb? [07:11] Seshiru     Forty-five seconds to detonation. [07:13] Seshiru     If Fox One can disarm it in time,     they win the round. [07:17] Shun     Help me with peek shots. [07:18] Nozomi     Copy. [07:22] Shun     I can't get out there! [07:23] Shun     We're out of time! [07:26] Akito     You're in my way! [07:29] Akito     Damn it! [07:33] VO     Round lost. [07:37] Emiko     Fox One lost, huh? [07:39] Seshiru     If they lose six more rounds, they're done. [07:43] Akito     Okay. [07:45] Akito     This time, let's have four     fan out to protect B. [07:48] Shun     Copy. [07:58] Yu     They're rushing B! [08:00] Akito     We figured 'em out this time! [08:01] Akito     Hang in there! [08:03] Nozomi     There's one here too. [08:06] Nozomi     They got me?! [08:07] Shun     I'll check them! [08:11] Shun     Persuader! [08:14] Shun     Rox! [08:16] Shun     If I throw a flash at this range,     it'll take three seconds to detonate. [08:20] Shun     Then I'll leap out and take him down! [08:24] Shun     Three, two, one! [08:29] Shun     A flash grenade?! [08:31] Shun     I can't see, but I know this map! [08:34] Shun     Given his prior position,     his next hiding place would be... [08:37] Shun     There! [08:39] Shun     A frag grenade? [08:40] Shun     Changing location! [09:04] Shun     He did just what I did...     at the exact same time? [09:11] Mutsuki     Nice work. [09:17] VO     Round lost. [09:19] Akito     Shit! [09:20] Nozomi     We're not out yet. [09:23] Yu     Yes! [09:25] VO     Team ace. [09:27] Yu     What in the world?! [09:30] MC     Daneko defeated Riii! [09:32] MC     Now, can he disarm the eraser in time?! [09:34] Colorcaster     I'm not sure... [09:37] VO     Clutch! [09:38] Ryusei     I was too late! [09:43] Nozomi     Akito, do something! [09:47] VO     Perfect! [09:48] Akito     You're kidding me! [09:50] VO     First half complete. [09:52] MC     We'll swap sides now. [09:53] MC     We'll give the teams time to discuss strategy. [09:55] MC     It's currently five to zero     in favor of Sleeping Owl! [10:00] Akito     This is bad. [10:01] Sota     Yeah, it is. What'll we do? [10:04] Nozomi     Dad, you're our coach! Tell us what to do! [10:07] Sota     Well, watching you fight     in the first half made me think... [10:15] Sota     Sleeping Owl is really good. [10:18] Nozomi     We don't need your opinion! [10:20] Nozomi     We need a plan! [10:23] Sota     A plan, eh? [10:25] Sota     You're on offense now, so... [10:30] Sota     Work hard, everyone! [10:32] Nozomi     We are working hard! [10:34] Akito     Are we really that weak? [10:38] Shun     Well, we're playing pros. [10:40] Akito     We were invincible back then. [10:43] Akito     Back when we played with Explosion-kun. [10:46] Shun     Yeah. We were invincible. [10:55] MC     The second-half matches will start soon. [10:57] MC     How can Team Fox One turn the tables? [11:00] Colorcaster     The key will be responding     to Sleeping Owl's speed. [11:04] Akito     Okay, let's make a fresh start. [11:08] Nozomi     We're out if we lose two more rounds. [11:10] Ryusei     We've got to take seven here. [11:13] Akito     What do you wanna do, Shun? [11:16] Shun     Let's all rush B together. [11:17] Nozomi     What if they anticipate it? [11:20] Shun     That would be bad. [11:21] Shun     But we'll be okay. [11:24] Shun     If we go down, we go together. [11:26] Akito     Don't let it bother you.     It's just a thing Shun says. [11:29] Yu     Yeah, okay... [11:32] Akito     All right, let's do this! [11:34] VO     Open fire! [11:42] Shun     Phantom? [11:43] Yu     I'm breaking through. [11:45] Yu     Clear! [11:46] Shun     What's the plan? [11:47] Yu     The commando squad... [11:49] Yu     will play it by ear! [11:51] Akito     They're wide open! [11:53] Akito     Check your surroundings     and cover the bomb! [11:55] Ryusei     Planting bomb right meow! [11:59] VO     Eraser set. [12:01] Nozomi     They're here! [12:02] Akito     Keep them back! [12:03] Nozomi     Could use a smoke grenade! [12:04] Shun     Copy! [12:06] Shun     We will hold them back! [12:08] Yu     Shun. [12:10] Yu     Frag grenade! [12:15] Yu     I'm going in! [12:16] Shun     I'm with you! [12:19] Yu     There's one more back here! [12:21] Shun     Clear! [12:22] Yu     Nice cover. [12:25] Nozomi     One enemy here. Keep 'em back! [12:27] Ryusei     Copy. [12:29] Ryusei     Face the wrath of darknyess! [12:42] Akito     I'll lure Jonathan this way. [12:45] Ryusei/Shun/Nozomi     Copy! [12:52] Shun     Let's move out. [12:53] Shun     They can't disarm it in time. [12:58] VO     Won! [13:01] Akito/Ryusei     Yeah! [13:03] Nozomi/Shun     All right! [13:09] Emiko     They finally took a round, huh? [13:12] Emiko     But making a comeback won't be easy. [13:16] Emiko     What's up, Seshiru? [13:17] Seshiru     Oh... nothing.

[14:27] Emiko     Did he get better all of a sudden? [14:29] Seshiru     Swapping sides really switched things up. [14:31] Emiko     What do you mean? [14:32] Seshiru     It just so happens the map and team     makeup favors them when they're attacking. [14:36] Seshiru     And the masked girl changed position     to work a four-man formation. [14:40] Seshiru     Their teamwork's great, too. [14:45] VO     Perfect! [14:48] Riii     That's bizarre! [14:49] Riii     You can't attack from there! [14:51] Gettsu     They're serious amateurs.

[16:17] Gettsu     Their moves were so random. [16:23] Jonathan     I'm sorry. I underestimated them. [16:26] Coach     They're new, so you lacked data. That's all. [16:29] Coach     We'll beat the two remaining teams. [16:33] Jonathan     Yes, sir. [16:35] Shun     We won. [16:37] Sota     Thank goodness! [16:38] Sota     I can pay the shop's debts!

[16:48] Nozomi     Stop it! [16:50] Nozomi     You're going to jinx us. [16:52] Shun     Yeah, I guess. [16:53] Mutsuki     Wow, you're good. [16:58] Shun     Rox-san? [16:59] Mutsuki     Call me Mutsuki. [17:01] Mutsuki     Naito Mutsuki. [17:02] Mutsuki     That's my real name. [17:04] Mutsuki     "Shun" is yours, right? [17:07] Mutsuki     So I thought I should give you mine too, [17:10] Mutsuki     Tokinoya-kun. [17:12] Shun     How did you... [17:13] Mutsuki     You're going to get even better. [17:18] All     Cheers! [17:20] Akito     Man, I can't believe we swept our matches! [17:23] Shun     And took the top seed in Block A. [17:25] Yu     That doesn't mean we've got a free ride. [17:27] Yu     Sleeping Owl got Block A's second seed. [17:31] Yu     It's very likely we'll have to face them      again in tomorrow's knockouts. [17:34] Ryusei     No worries. [17:36] Ryusei     We beat them once already. [17:37] Akito     Easy win, easy win! [17:38] Nozomi     Stop trying to jinx us like that! [17:44] Sota     I have to talk to you all about something. [17:48] Sota     Would you like to keep playing for me? [17:54] Sota     They're creating a new pro league. [17:57] Sota     It's a chance for brand-new teams to get in. [17:59] Nozomi     You're jumping the gun, just like always. [18:03] Nozomi     Save it for after you get the shop on its feet. [18:06] Sota     I know, but... they're     not going to wait for that. [18:10] Akito     I'm down for it. [18:13] Akito     My goal from the start was to go pro. [18:15] Akito     I gotta be down for it! [18:17] Yu     So am I. [18:18] Yu     I don't care as much about compensation. [18:20] Yu     I just want to play professional matches. [18:23] Ryusei     Far be it for me to go against this flow! [18:30] Nozomi     It's okay. [18:31] Nozomi     You don't have to force yourself. [18:33] Shun     Nozo-nee... [18:34] Nozomi     Shun-chan, you should decide     whatever's best for you. [18:40] Akito     No way, Shun. You gotta join in. [18:43] Nozomi     Akito! [18:44] Akito     As a pro, you'll get pay and prize money. [18:47] Akito     If you hit the top, you can make even more.

[20:49] Satomi     Shun, take your bath once you're finished. [20:51] Shun     No thanks. I'm tired. [20:54] Shun     I don't need a bath. [20:55] Satomi     No! [20:55] Mio     Take one! [20:58] Shun     Fine. [21:33] Mutsuki     I knew it. [21:36] Mutsuki     You're exactly like me, [21:40] Mutsuki     Tokinoya-kun.
