[00:06] Haiji
    Open your eyes. You'll get in an accident.
[00:11] Haiji
    Everyone's here.
[00:14] Haiji
    Today, we'll try running
    to the river in Tamagawa.
[00:17] Haiji
    I want to determine everyone's level,
[00:19] Haiji
    so I can plan your practice
    schedules for the future.
[00:21] Haiji
    Keep that in mind.
[00:24] King
    There won't be a future.
[00:28] Yuki
    After all that, you're still participating.
[00:33] Kakeru
    Just for today.
[00:35] Yuki
    You're some kind of freak, aren't you?
[00:39] Haiji
    Nothing beats eating after a run.
[00:41] Haiji
    Let's go.
[00:43] Prince
    Wait.
[00:45] Prince
    Wait!
[00:46] Prince
    Tamagawa? That Tamagawa?
SIGN    Why
[00:49] Haiji
    Yeah, that Tamagawa.
[00:51] Prince
    Isn't that five kilometers away?
[00:54] Haiji
    Wow! You're really familiar
    with the local geography.
[00:57] Haiji
    Let's go.
[00:58] Prince
    Wait, wait, wait!
[01:00] Prince
    That's five kilometers.
[01:01] Prince
    Five kilometers one way
    means ten kilometers round trip.
[01:06] Prince
    Ten kilometers first thing in the morning?!
[01:08] Haiji
    If you can shout that much
    after waking up, you'll make it.
[01:11] Haiji
    Come on.
[01:13] Prince
    What?
[01:25] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    He's fast.
[01:28] Haiji
    Start at your own pace.
[01:31] Haiji
    Come on. Go.
[01:38] Prince
    Where is your dignity?
[01:40] Prince
    Where has your human dignity gone?
[01:44] Prince
    We're allowing ourselves to be
    forced to run without objection.
[01:48] Prince
    Can we really call ourselves people?
[01:54] Haiji
    Go.
SIGN    Run with the Wind
[03:34] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yay. I won.
[03:37] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What? It was a tie.
[03:39] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I beat you by a hair.
[03:49] Shindo
    I'm impressed.
[03:51] Musa
    This is the first time I've wanted
    to go back to my home country.
[04:08] Haiji
    The theory will come later.
[04:10] Haiji
    First, your body needs to experience
    firsthand how far five kilometers is.
[04:15] Haiji
    Then, you'll surely...
[04:20] Prince
    B-Butterfly...
[04:30] Haiji
    You'll surely be able to run it.
[04:40] Haiji
    Okay, let's head back.
[04:42] Haiji
    What's wrong? Breakfast is waiting.
[04:45] Prince
    I'm going back as a butterfly.
[04:48] Haiji
    What are you talking about?
    You're not making any sense.
[04:53] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Hey, look.
[04:55] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Huh?
[04:56] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    It's Kakeru.
[04:58] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Is he ever going to stop running?
[05:06] Kakeru
    Your body gets cold if you just wait.
[05:09] Haiji
    Yeah.
[05:14] Kakeru
    Do you understand now
    just how stupid your idea is?
[05:19] Kakeru
    They just ran a mere five kilometers.
[05:22] Kakeru
    Every section of the Hakone
    Ekiden is at least 20 kilometers.
[05:27] Kakeru
    That's more than quadruple.
[05:28] Kakeru
    We'll have to race that distance against
    runners who have endured intense training.
[05:38] Kakeru
    We could practice for
    ten years and still be behind.
[05:44] King
    Just how insane is his body?
[05:47] Haiji
    He's not wrong.
[05:50] Haiji
    Don't worry. It won't take ten years.
[05:53] Haiji
    After all, there's less than
    ten months until the race.
SIGN    A Single Flower
[06:07] Haiji
    At universities that participate
    in the Hakone Ekiden,
[06:10] Haiji
    everyone runs 5,000 meters
    in less than about 14:30 minutes.
[06:15] Haiji
    We'll consider that one of our goals.
[06:18] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I have no idea what that looks like.
[06:21] Yuki
    The simple calculation is less
    than three minutes per kilometer.
[06:24] King
    What?!
[06:26] King
    One kilometer in the time
    it takes to prepare cup noodles?
[06:29] Prince
    That makes it harder to understand.
[06:32] Musa
    He means it's inhumanly fast.
[06:36] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I bet there are lots of guys like
    that where you're from, Musa.
[06:40] Musa
    More prejudice.
[06:42] Shindo
    My high school's long distance
    race was only three kilometers.
[06:46] Nico
    Well, that's how it is.
[06:49] Nico
    Thanks for the food.
[06:50] Haiji
    You're right that it's not
    an easy speed to achieve.
[06:55] Haiji
    But if you don't know what
    your goals are, you can't aim for them.
[06:58] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Knowing's not enough.
[07:01] Haiji
    If you do the required training, it's different.
[07:05] Haiji
    We'll limit our focus to Hakone.
[07:08] Haiji
    That dramatically improves our chances.
[07:11] Kakeru
    On what basis?
[07:13] Kakeru
    On what basis are you making those claims?
[07:18] Haiji
    You don't want breakfast?
[07:21] Kakeru
    I don't want to owe any favors.
SIGN    Day 2
[07:41] Shindo
    They ran.
[07:42] Haiji
    I'm going to wake them.
[07:44] Nico
    Yuki never came home.
[07:46] Haiji
    Huh?
[07:47] Nico
    He went clubbing as usual.
[07:51] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Clubbing sounds nice.
[07:53] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I bet there are lots of cute girls.
[07:56] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    We'll have to ask him to take us with him.
[07:58] Haiji
    Give me a minute.
[08:01] Shindo
    Huh? Hey!
[08:03] Haiji
    Kurahara!
[08:33] Hanako
    Whoa!
[08:36] Kakeru
    Huh?
[08:47] Hanako
    Whoa...
[08:48] Hanako
    Haven't done that since grade school.
[08:53] Hanako
    Are you a Kansei Uni student?
[08:57] Kakeru
    Yeah.
[08:58] Hanako
    On the Kansei Uni track and field team?
[09:00] Kakeru
    Uh...
[09:02] Hanako
    Haiji.
[09:04] Hanako
    Are you familiar with Kiyose Haiji?
[09:06] Kakeru
    Huh?
[09:31] Hanako
    Hey!
[09:34] Haiji
    Hey.
[09:35] Hanako
    Haiji!
[09:37] Haiji
    What about school?
[09:39] Hanako
    After this.
[09:40] Hanako
    I came first thing, but no one was here.
[09:43] Haiji
    We're still slow.
[09:45] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Who is that?
[09:47] Hanako
    I asked him if he was
    on the track and field team.
[09:50] Hanako
    I didn't see anyone else who could be.
[09:53] Hanako
    I was right.
[09:54] Kakeru
    I couldn't ignore her.
[10:03] Musa
    It's the Yaokatsu girl.
[10:05] Shindo
    What?
[10:05] Musa
    Yaokatsu. She's the daughter of the
    vegetable vendor in the shopping center.
[10:09] King
    What? Are they dating?
[10:11] Musa
    I doubt it.
[10:14] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    A high school girl's a little too young.
[10:17] Haiji
    Sorry. Let's get back to it.
[10:20] Hanako
    Guys.
[10:22] Hanako
    Practice hard.
[10:26] All
    We will!
[10:40] Girl
    Oh, wow! Then your future is secure.
[10:42] Girl
    Really? I'll have to call you
    for help if I'm ever on trial.
[10:46] Yuki
    I'd totally be down.
[10:48] Girl
    You might be on trial?
[10:50] Girl
    You never know.
[10:52] Yuki
    Can I get your number, then?
[10:55] Girl
    It'd be hilarious if this were a scam.
[10:58] Yuki
    Of course it isn't.
[11:00] Haiji
    Then maybe I'll get your number, too.
[11:02] Yuki
    Huh?
[11:08] Yuki
    Are you crazy?!
[11:11] Haiji
    What?!
[11:13] Haiji
    Sorry. My ears.
[11:14] Haiji
    It's amazing. I don't know how
    you can stay in there for so long.
[11:18] Yuki
    You're wasting your time!
[11:19] Haiji
    What?
[11:20] Yuki
    You're wasting your time!
[11:22] Yuki
    I don't have any reason to run
    or anything to gain from it!
[11:25] Yuki
    I don't need to create memories
    or network with you guys!
[11:29] Yuki
    This year of freedom
    is my well-deserved reward!
[11:34] Yuki
    I deserve to savor this vacation from life!
[11:37] Yuki
    You're wasting your time
    by trying to convince me!
[11:40] Yuki
    It's a total waste!
[11:42] Haiji
    I have a reason.
[11:44] Haiji
    I can't run in the Hakone
    Ekiden without ten members.
[11:48] Yuki
    I don't exist for your purposes!
[11:52] Haiji
    You're right.
[11:53] Haiji
    Naturally, I don't intend to unilaterally
    impose my will on you, Yuki.
[11:58] Yuki
    Then—
[11:59] Haiji
    I'll be back tomorrow.
[12:00] Yuki
    What?
[12:01] Haiji
    I'll come with you.
[12:03] Haiji
    After all, it's not fair to just
    make you accompany me.
[12:06] Haiji
    It's very important for teammates
    to respect and understand one another.
SIGN    Day 3
[12:22] Yuki
    Damn it. I'm finding a way out of this.
[12:25] Hanako
    Good morning.
[12:30] Haiji
    She's Yaokatsu's daughter,
     Katsuta Hanako.
[12:33] Haiji
    She'll be helping us sometimes.
[12:35] Hanako
    I've got school,
[12:36] Hanako
    so I can only help out early
    in the morning and late at night.
[12:40] Hanako
    It's nice to meet you.
[12:42] All
    Hey!
SIGN    Why
[12:58] Haiji
    It's a grand sight when everyone's here.
[13:04] Haiji
    Wait, Kurahara.
[13:06] Haiji
    I want to time everyone's finish. Help me.
[13:09] Kakeru
    Why me?
[13:16] Haiji
    There's no need to go crazy
    just because I'm timing you.
[13:21] Haiji
    I just want data to plan our practices.
[13:27] Haiji
    That's why I'm timing today's run.
[13:33] Haiji
    Don't hold back.
[13:34] Haiji
    I'll tell Hana to keep an eye out for that.
[13:57] Yuki
    Is that Haiji's girlfriend?
[14:00] Shindo
    The details are unclear.
[14:02] Yuki
    Being forced to run is already
    a human rights violation,
[14:06] Yuki
    and now he's showing off his girlfriend?
[14:08] Yuki
    Just how much does he intend to toy with us?
[14:11] Musa
    But it's clear now that King
    has some hidden potential.
[14:15] Yuki
    It's sad, though.
[14:17] Shindo
    Yeah, no matter how you look at it.
[14:29] Haiji
    Well? I wasn't lying, was I?
[14:32] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    About what?
[14:34] Haiji
    The girl.
[14:37] Haiji
    Work hard, and women will approach you.
[14:41] Haiji
    It only took three days.
[14:43] Haiji
    If you keep getting stronger
    and attract more attention...
[14:51] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Haiji, we're sorry.
[14:54] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    We doubted you.
[14:57] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    We thought you were tricking us.
[15:03] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    But it was true!
[15:06] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    It's only Yaokatsu's Hana so far,
    but as long as we work hard...
[15:11] Haiji
    That's right. Look!
[15:15] Haiji
    On the other side of the road
    are more women than you can count!
[15:21] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I'm so glad...
[15:23] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    We decided to attend college...
[15:29] Yuki
    They've been fooled.
[15:30] Musa
    They sure have.
[15:32] Haiji
    Okay! Let's aim for the top!
[15:36] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What? What if we actually win?
[15:38] Haiji
    Well, my boy...
[15:40] Haiji
    You'll have your hands full.
[15:43] Haiji
    The mountains of Hakone
    are the steepest in the world!
[15:45] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I don't know what that means!
[15:48] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    But it's so intense!
[15:50] Haiji
    The mountains of Hakone are?
[15:51] Both
    The steepest in the world!
[15:53] Haiji
    The mountains of Hakone are?
[15:54] Both
    The steepest in the world!
[15:55] Shindo
    Musa.
[15:55] Musa
    What?
[15:57] Shindo
    I'm thinking about continuing a while longer.
[16:01] Musa
    Huh?
[16:03] Yuki
    How dare they be fooled so easily?!
[16:06] Nico
    What about you? I thought you
    were going to make him give up.
[16:10] Nico
    Don't tell me you're on board now.
[16:13] Kakeru
    Yeah, right.
SIGN    Why
[16:14] Kakeru
    Prince can't even finish properly.
[16:18] Kakeru
    No one would believe him.
[16:24] Nico
    Right.
[16:26] Nico
    So why is he so confident?
[16:33] Haiji
    Let's head back! Time for breakfast!
SIGN    Yaokatsu
[16:47] Hanako
    Did I do good this morning?
[16:50] Haiji
    Yeah, it was plenty.
[16:52] Haiji
    Athletes perform better
    in front of an audience.
[16:56] Hanako
    Huh. It really was fun, though.
[17:00] Haiji
    That's good.
[17:02] Haiji
    It's effective, even if all
    you're doing is watching.
[17:05] Hanako
    I hope your dream comes true.
[17:07] Man
    It will.
[17:09] Both
    Huh?
[17:10] Man
    He's been waiting four years.
[17:11] Man
    You've got some good members, right?
[17:13] Man
    I heard she couldn't keep up on her bike.
[17:17] Hanako
    Yeah. He was amazing.
[17:20] Hanako
    Is Kurahara famous?
[17:23] Haiji
    I'm not sure.
[17:25] Man
    Either way, I'm excited.
[17:27] Man
    Let me know if there's
    anything we can do to help.
[17:32] Haiji
    Thank you.
SIGN    Tsuru-no-yu
[17:38] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What? Qualifier?
[17:40] Yuki
    Joji, your bubbles.
[17:42] Nico
    Most people only know about the actual race.
[17:48] Shindo
    I just learned about it today.
[17:50] Shindo
    Of the twenty schools that participate
    in the Hakone Ekiden,
[17:53] Shindo
    aside from the ten seeded teams
    that qualify the previous year,
[17:56] Shindo
    they have to participate
    in a preliminary qualifier.
[18:01] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Really?
[18:04] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Then we'll race in that first.
[18:07] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    All right!
[18:09] Prince
    We still don't know if we'll be racing.
[18:13] Musa
    How many schools participate in the qualifier?
[18:16] Shindo
    About fifty.
[18:19] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    So only the top fifth qualify.
[18:21] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    I bet we can do it if we try.
[18:23] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yeah. Haiji said we're just getting started.
[18:26] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    We can do it as long as we practice hard.
[18:30] Kakeru
    It's not that easy.
[18:34] Kakeru
    How hard do you think they
    practice to be in the top fifth?
[18:40] Kakeru
    And not everyone can
    participate in the qualifier.
[18:44] Kakeru
    Each athlete needs an official record
    of finishing 5,000 meters in less than 16:30
[18:48] Kakeru
    or 10,000 in 30:00.
[18:54] Prince
    Those are astronomical figures.
[18:56] Kakeru
    You have to achieve those
    records before the qualifier.
[19:01] Kakeru
    It doesn't matter if you have
    a couple of fast guys.
[19:04] Kakeru
    Everyone has to be running at a high level.
[19:08] Kakeru
    An amateur who can't even finish
    ten kilometers shouldn't be aiming for that.
[19:13] Kakeru
    Don't you understand how reckless he's being?
[19:19] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Kinda.
[19:21] Kakeru
    Then stop wasting your efforts.
[19:22] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Actually,
[19:24] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    What's your deal, Kakeru?
[19:26] Kakeru
    What?
[19:28] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Yeah. What are you afraid of?
[19:30] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    You're fast.
[19:32] Kakeru
    What?!
[19:33] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Maybe you're worried about us,
[19:36] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    but we're the ones doing the work, so who cares?
[19:39] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Run with us.
[19:47] Kakeru
    I don't work well with others.
[20:11] Haiji
    Where's Kurahara?
[20:12] Shindo
    He left already.
[20:14] Musa
    We only ran together for one day.
[20:17] Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Maybe he's mad.
[20:36] (Flashback) Twin (Jota or Joji)
    Run with us.
[20:41] Boy
    I knew it.
[20:53] Boy
    It's been a while, Kurahara.
[22:40] Narration
    Next time: "Shadows That Don't Fade."
SIGN    Next Time: Shadows That Don't Fade
