[12:32] Tatsuru     Whether it's work or badminton,     you and I are a pair. [12:39] Mikoto     I'm quitting. Thank you for everything. [12:41] Ono     Hold it, Shiratori! [12:43] Mikoto     Nobody told me I'd be playing doubles! [12:45] Ono     Of course not. I never told you. [12:48] Mikoto     You mean you tricked me?! [12:49] Toya     He hadn't told him? [12:50] Ono     Sorry about that! [12:52] Sota     He's got some brass balls. [12:54] Ono     You're better at doubles than singles. [12:57] Ono     I know I'm right. [13:00] Mikoto     You can't just decide that! [13:03] Mikoto     I'll win playing singles and prove      that Mitsuhoshi was wrong. [13:09] Ono     You could do that playing doubles, too. [13:12] Mikoto     I don't want to play doubles. [13:15] Mikoto     Besides, I wouldn't have come here if     I'd known you had such a shoddy team. [13:19] Takeda     Hey, watch your mouth— [13:21] Toya     Ko-san. [13:22] Mikoto     I don't want to end here. [13:29] Tatsuru     In that case, let's play singles. [13:32] Mikoto     Huh? [13:33] Tatsuru     You don't want to play doubles, right? [13:36] Tatsuru     Beat me at singles, then. [13:40] Mikoto     What are you— [13:41] Ono     All right. [13:42] Ono     If you win, I'll let you play singles. [13:51] Mikoto     Okay. [13:52] Tatsuru     But if I win, you'll be my partner. [13:57] Mikoto     Fine, but I'll win. [14:04] Ono     One-game match. Shiratori versus Miyazumi. [14:07] Ono     Love all. Begin. [14:20] Mikoto     His shots are heavy. [14:21] Takeda     Tatsu-san, this is your chance! [14:27] Tatsuru     Yeah! [14:28] Sota     1-0. [14:37] Takeda     Looks like he can't do anything     against Tatsu-san's power. [14:40] Toya     No, that's Mikoto's style. [14:43] Sota     You mean he's a defensive player? [14:45] Toya     No. He observes his opponent     at the start of the game. [14:48] Toya     He's studying Tatsuru-san's movements. [14:50] Takeda     Observes? [14:53] Sota     7-0. [14:59] Mikoto     I see it. [15:16] Takeda     What? His movements suddenly changed. [15:19] Ono     That's Shiratori's greatest     weapon, his "foresight." [15:23] Ono     His opponents feel like he's     predicting their moves. [15:28] Sota     He's a psychic, then. [15:29] Takeda     So... what does that mean? [15:32] Toya     He's exceptionally good at observing     people's subtle movements [15:35] Toya     and predicting what they'll do. [15:36] Toya     How their eyes move, which way their     body is facing... That kind of thing. [15:41] Toya     Apparently, he can predict how people     will move next based on that. [15:44] Takeda     Seriously? Wow. [15:54] Tatsuru     He's got my number. [15:56] Tatsuru     No matter where I aim, he's already there. [15:59] Tatsuru     That said, we're just getting started. [16:05] Mikoto     A straight shot. [16:09] Sota     He's good. [16:10] Sota     He swapped his stance from a straight     to cross-court shot at the last second. [16:15] Sota     11-9. [16:17] Ono     His foresight is a powerful weapon if you     fall for it, but it's also a big gamble. [16:22] Ono     Shiratori's ability becomes more     effective when he plays doubles. [16:27] Toya     In singles, he doesn't have a partner to     cover for him when he loses his gamble. SIGN    Toba Commercial One      Tokyo [16:47] Sota     11-10. [16:52] Tatsuru     What was that? [16:53] Sota     He could've returned that, right? [16:56] Toya     What is he doing? [16:59] Mikoto     Damn it. I'm using my foresight     to anticipate his moves, but... [17:03] Mikoto     He's so persistent. [17:11] Tatsuru     Hell yeah! [17:13] Mikoto     Is it really necessary to play so recklessly? [17:16] Mikoto     Why won't you give up already? [17:18] Tatsuru     You lose when the shuttle hits the ground. [17:20] Tatsuru     So I'll return all of them. [17:24] Tatsuru     Why don't you give up and become my partner? [17:30] Mikoto     He has the brute strength     to overpower his opponents [17:33] Mikoto     and a strong defense that allows     him to react to any shot. [17:36] Mikoto     I though he was simple-minded, [17:38] Mikoto     but he's got an intellectual side to him. [17:40] Mikoto     He's tough to play against. [17:50] Tatsuru     I've got you backed into a corner. [17:53] Mikoto     I'm just getting started. [18:03] Takeda     Whoa, whoa. How long is this     rally going to keep going? [18:10] Mikoto     This guy would make a pretty tough opponent. [18:13] Mikoto     But if he were my teammate... [18:20] Mikoto     What am I thinking? [18:37] Tatsuru     I... [18:39] Tatsuru     I did it! [18:44] Mikoto     I lost? [18:52] Tatsuru     Man, singles is tough. [18:55] Tatsuru     I'm totally worn out. [19:00] Mikoto     Please don't puke on the floor. [19:03] Tatsuru     Why don't you admit it already? [19:05] ---     What? [19:06] Tatsuru     You like doubles, don't you? I could     tell from playing against you. [19:13] Mikoto     You're making things up. [19:15] Tatsuru     A contest's a contest. [19:17] Tatsuru     Starting today, you're my partner. [19:24] Tatsuru     All right!

[19:40] Mikoto     We don't need an abbreviation. [19:42] Tatsuru     What? Then how about making your name     first, and calling us the Mikotatsu Pair? [19:47] Mikoto     Just so you know, I haven't     accepted that we're a team. [19:50] Tatsuru     What are you talking about? You lost. [19:54] Tatsuru     It's okay. We'll make a good pair.

[03:55] Mikoto     Wait, Coach, where's your racket? [03:58] Tatsuru     It's coming. [03:59] Mikoto     Huh? [04:02] Mikoto     Seriously? [04:03] Ono     Again! [04:10] Ono     I can't hear you! [04:11] Ono     You're not playing by yourselves! [04:20] Tatsuru     Oh, man. [04:22] Tatsuru     Sorry about that. It's important     to communicate, right? [04:26] Tatsuru     Hey, are you okay?

[04:47] Takeda     That's so much. You're scaring me. [04:50] Mikoto     Unbelievable. [04:51] Mikoto     "We'll make a good pair," my ass. [04:54] Mikoto     You're making zero effort to match me. [04:56] Tatsuru     It's your fault for trying     to do everything yourself. [05:02] Mikoto     Because you jump around     trying to smash everything. [05:06] Takeda     At this rate, Uni will beat us      to a pulp this weekend. [05:06] Tatsuru     Jump smashes are cool, though! [05:09] Mikoto     Are you a child?

[05:25] Reporter     leads the Japanese badminton world     with his perfect looks and playstyle. [05:27] Takeda     Looks have got nothing to do with badminton.

SIGN    Kirishima Hayato     1st Photo Book [05:34] Reporter     Next month, his first photo     book will be released. [05:37] Toya     What?! Does he think he's     an idol or something?! [05:38] Reporter     Isn't it difficult being     both an athlete and a model? [05:40] Takeda     Idiot! [05:41] Hayato     Not at all. [05:42] Reporter     How do you feel about your younger     brother Kirishima Takuma, [05:47] Reporter     the number one ranked men's     doubles player in the world? [05:50] Hayato     My brother Takuma is even more stoic     and uncompromising than myself. [05:52] Sota     I couldn't handle it if my younger brother     were ranked number one in the world. [05:54] Hayato     Simply put, he's amazing. [05:56] Hayato     His playstyle is totally different from     mine, and I'm making progress my way. [05:56] Toya     Are you being sarcastic? [05:59] Mikoto     In any case, it'll be your fault     if we lose our upcoming match. [06:03] Tatsuru     Are you already making     excuses for when we lose? [06:06] Mikoto     Absolutely not!

[06:10] Sota     If this were a fiery sports anime,     doesn't this mean they'd win? [06:11] ---     Hey, I always take it seriously. [06:13] Toya     That's not happening. [06:13] ---     How was any of that serious? [06:16] Tatsuru     Waoko is the prefecture's biggest     supermarket and my number one client. [06:23] Mikoto     That car looks expensive.

[06:36] Kazuo     Nice work, as always! [06:37] Tatsuru     Thank you. [06:38] Tatsuru     I'll bring you a new proposal     the next time I visit. [06:42] Kazuo     Sounds good. [06:46] Mikoto     Is Sales responsible for doing this, too? [06:49] Tatsuru     It may look pointless to you, but this     kind of thing builds toward results. [06:56] Tatsuru     It used to be that we only     got one row on this shelf. [07:00] Tatsuru     Here. [07:02] Tatsuru     Don't just stand there. [07:03] Tatsuru     Go get a foldy and a set of POP. [07:13] Mikoto     A foldable container, or "foldy" for short. [07:16] Mikoto     I don't need to know that kind of "fun fact." [07:32] Both     We're terribly sorry. [07:35] Kazuo     Could you stop already? [07:37] Kazuo     You'll bother the customers. [07:39] Tatsuru     But... [07:40] Kazuo     I've worked with Sunlight     Beverage for a long time, [07:44] Kazuo     but I'll have to reconsider     our relationship, I think. [07:46] Tatsuru     This incident was the product     of poor management on my part. [07:50] Tatsuru     I'll take responsibility for     everything, so please... [07:53] Kazuo     After spending six months convincing my     wife, I finally bought it just the other day. [08:01] Tatsuru     Huh? Hey, Shiratori? [08:06] Mikoto     Do you have a minute? [08:08] Man     Let go of me! [08:11] Mikoto     A hook to the face. [08:16] Man     Crap! [08:17] Mikoto     I knew it. [08:19] Man     Damn it. [08:30] Tatsuru     Why, you... [08:32] Tatsuru     Jeez, don't go running off      on your own like that. [08:35] Tatsuru     Why do you think there are two of us? [08:41] Tatsuru     Good work today. [08:46] Tatsuru     President Wao said he'd think things over,     so everything turned out all right. [08:50] Mikoto     So why are we drinking at the dorm? [08:52] Tatsuru     How'd you know he was a shoplifter, anyway? [08:58] Tatsuru     C'mon, spit it out. [09:04] Tatsuru     Hey, what are you doing? [09:06] Mikoto     This is how I knew. [09:08] Tatsuru     Huh? [09:09] Mikoto     My foresight predicts a person's next move     based on their subconscious behavior. [09:16] Mikoto     Simply put, it's like predicting the future. [09:21] Tatsuru     I imagine everyone anticipates their     opponent's moves to some degree, [09:25] Tatsuru     but can it really be done that accurately? [09:27] Mikoto     Yes. I've observed people since I was a kid. [09:34] Tatsuru     So it's like non-verbal communication, huh? [09:37] Mikoto     Huh? Non-verbal? [09:40] Tatsuru     90% of communication is non-verbal. [09:43] Tatsuru     In other words, it takes place     using something other than words. [09:48] Mikoto     Huh, I've never heard that before. [09:50] Tatsuru     You're amazing. [09:53] Tatsuru     I thought you were just some insolent     kid, but I've found a great partner. [09:57] Mikoto     Just so you know, our     partnership is temporary.

[15:08] Takeda     Maybe he's in the observation     stage of his foresight ability. [15:11] Toya     Maybe, but this seems kind of different. [15:20] Mikoto     His moves are hard to read. [15:22] Mikoto     He has almost none of the habits     normal people always have. [15:27] Mikoto     On top of that, this front player     is hard to deal with, too. [15:35] Mikoto     Damn. [16:01] Toya     Mikoto's foresight isn't working. [16:03] Toya     They're aiming their shots carefully, too. [16:07] Sota     Hayato-senpai's smashes are a threat, [16:10] Sota     but Oginome-senpai's accurate     plays impact every key moment. [16:14] Takeda     The world's second-best     player is strong as hell. [16:18] Ref     First game won by Unisics. [16:21] Tatsuru     Are you nervous about     playing a better player?

[18:17] (Flashback) Mikoto     His form may have no tells, [18:19] (Flashback) Mikoto     but my foresight can narrow down     the trajectory of his shots a bit. [18:22] (Flashback) Mikoto     After that, it'll be a gamble. [18:24] (Flashback) Tatsuru     You sure that'll work? [18:26] (Flashback) Mikoto     If I'm wrong, cover for me     like your life depends on it. [18:30] (Flashback) Mikoto     Isn't that what you're here for? [18:35] (Flashback) Tatsuru     All right. Now I'm all fired up. [18:46] Misora     No way... [18:56] Mikoto     I see it. [18:58] Mikoto     This is it. [18:59] Mikoto     This feeling. [19:04] Tatsuru     We can do this! [19:05] Mikoto     Yeah! [19:08] Oginome     It won't be that easy! [19:11] Hayato     I've been waiting for this! [19:23] Tatsuru     In badminton, you lose when     the shuttle hits the ground. [19:30] Oginome     A cross-court shot? Now? [19:41] Ref     Second game won by Sunlight Beverage. [19:45] Takeda     Wow! [19:45] Toya     Yeah! [19:46] Sota     They brought it back. [19:48] Misora     Impossible. I can't believe     Hayato-san's team lost a set. [19:54] Oginome     How many plays ahead is     he predicting our moves? [19:58] Hayato     How many years has it been since we     last dropped a set at a practice game? [20:01] Oginome     Let's focus on the next game. [20:03] Hayato     Okay. Looks like we'll get     to have some fun after all. [20:08] Ref     Final game. Love all. Begin. [20:25] Tatsuru     Get over it already. [20:27] Tatsuru     I know we lost, but we gained     something from the experience. [20:31] Mikoto     We couldn't do anything in that last game. [20:35] Tatsuru     We can pay them back at the     corporate tournament in June. [20:38] Tatsuru     Besides, there are plenty of other     strong opponents for us to play.

[04:59] Yata     They're so lucky. I wish I could've     attended the training, too. [05:02] Amano     Yata, you just want to     go hang out and have fun. [05:05] Yata     Is it that obvious? [05:06] Amano     Obvious? Training isn't your thing. [05:10] Yata     Sir. [05:12] Amano     Hello, sir. [05:15] Oshitari     The badminton team is pushing its luck. SIGN    Training Camp SIGN    Tatebayashi Factory SIGN    Miyazumi SIGN    Takeda SIGN    Shiratori [05:25] Factory Manager     Here at Tatebayashi Factory, [05:26] Factory Manager     with the way markets have been     expanding over the past few years, [05:29] Factory Manager     we plan to introduce new equipment     this summer to increase production. SIGN    Tour Route SIGN    Exhibits [05:34] Factory Manager     Last year, thanks to the sales team,     our Besshonuma Soda was a big hit, [05:39] Factory Manager     so we temporarily added extra assembly lines. [05:43] Tatsuru     I'm actually pretty fond of that product. [05:46] Factory Manager     My daughter's a fan and     drinks it all the time. [05:56] Toya     This place is pretty nice. [05:58] Takeda     Nice choice, Tatsu-san! [06:01] Tatsuru     I know, right? [06:02] Tatsuru     Let's head to the multipurpose room      once we put our luggage away. SIGN    New Product Proposal     (Green Onion Ginger Ale) [06:06] Tatsuru     Now, let's start writing this proposal. [06:10] Mikoto     Do I really have to do this? [06:12] Takeda     It's your proposal, Shiratori. [06:15] Tatsuru     Even in doubles, everyone     has to do their job. [06:20] Tatsuru     The company has currently tasked     you with writing a proposal. [06:26] Toya     What does that mean? [06:27] Sota     He probably just wanted to combine     badminton and work concepts. SIGN    New Product Proposal SIGN    Sales Department Shiratori Mikoto SIGN    Product Name SIGN    Green Onion Ginger Ale SIGN    Describe the selling points and     sales plan for the product below. [06:31] Takeda     Anyway, this product... [06:33] Sota     It's pretty aggressive. [06:34] Toya     At least it's better than Natto Cola? [06:37] Mikoto     What's that mean? Natto Cola's good. [06:39] Takeda     Honestly, I don't get why this got greenlit. [06:42] Tatsuru     Why green onion, anyway? [06:45] Mikoto     The other day, I had Fukaya green onions     with ginger ale and thought it tasted good. [06:51] Tatsuru     Well, some products come from simple ideas. [06:55] Takeda     In any case, let's try making some progress. SIGN    Green Onion Ginger Ale Proposal [07:00] Mikoto     Um, I don't even know     how to write a proposal. [07:05] Toya     Then let's begin by coming up with ideas     related to green onion and ginger. [07:10] Toya     We'll brainstorm selling points, [07:12] Toya     plus when and where we could sell it,     and write those down in the proposal. [07:19] Tatsuru     Reliable as ever, Planning Department. [07:20] Sota     You really know how this goes. [07:23] Takeda     Should we try doing a SWOT analysis? [07:25] Takeda     Normally they're used in     management strategies, [07:28] Takeda     but I think it could be useful for     teaching Shiratori to consider things [07:32] Takeda     from multiple perspectives. [07:34] Tatsuru     I see. [07:35] Toya     Good idea! [07:37] Toya     It could be easier for Mikoto to come up     with ideas if he understands the strengths [07:40] Toya     and weaknesses of green onion and ginger. [07:44] Toya     SWOT is an abbreviation of strengths,     weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. [07:51] Mikoto     Okay... [07:52] Takeda     By identifying these, we can determine     the direction of green onion and ginger. [07:57] Mikoto     Uh, okay? [07:59] Tatsuru     The strengths of green onion and ginger, huh? [08:02] Tatsuru     Well, it's got a lot of impact. SIGN    Impact [08:05] Sota     Doesn't it seem like a strange combo, though? SIGN    Strange Combination [08:07] Sota     I doubt it'd have broad appeal. [08:09] Toya     Exactly. What do you think? [08:11] Mikoto     Huh? [08:11] Mikoto     Wh-What do I think? It might go     well with meals, or something? [08:17] Tatsuru     Ginger ale is a pretty standard choice,     so it's not out of the question. SIGN    With Meals [08:21] Toya     Fukaya green onions are a local specialty. SIGN    Local Specialty SIGN    Souvenir [08:23] Toya     It might make a good souvenir. [08:24] Takeda     It sounds healthy. SIGN    Healthy [08:25] Toya     You're right! [08:26] Tatsuru     And these days... SIGN    Impact Local Specialty Sounds Healthy SIGN    Strange Combination Lacks Broad Appeal SIGN    With Meals Popular on Social Media Unusual Souvenir SIGN    Other Local Specialties [08:34] Takeda     I guess that's everything. [08:37] Mikoto     So, what do we do with this? [08:39] Toya     We compare these against each     other and perform an analysis. [08:43] Taekda     We'll start with strengths and opportunities. [08:50] Sota     Well, it's got impact.     It's definitely viable as a souvenir. SIGN    Green onion [08:54] Toya     And if celebrities made social media posts     about it, that would increase visibility. SIGN    Strange Combination?! SIGN    Delicious? SIGN    Green Onion      Ginger Ale SIGN    We Tried Green Onion Ginger Ale! [08:58] Takeda     That always helps with advertising expenses.

[09:12] Tatsuru     So, weaknesses and threats are next? [09:16] Takeda     The standard souvenirs are tough competition,     like Hyakumangoku buns and Koedo sour. SIGN    Rank 1 Kami Rice Crackers      Rank 2 Mikabo      Rank 3 Hyakumangoku Buns     Rank 4 Kuibuku no Kura      Rank 5 Koikyomo      Rank 6 Senka no Takara [09:22] Toya     I'd like something to keep us from     getting lost among the other souvenirs. [09:28] Takeda     Something that compels you to pick it up. [09:30] Toya     Yeah, exactly! Something that     makes you want to buy it. [09:38] Mikoto     Like ramune bottles? [09:41] Mikoto     Ramune bottles are kind of nice, aren't they? [09:45] Toya     Yeah, they do stand out visually. [09:49] Tatsuru     They're a beautiful color, too. [09:50] Tatsuru     They'd be easy to tell apart      from other souvenirs. [09:53] Sota     And I like their retro feel. [09:56] Toya     Then maybe we should make the label cute, too. [09:59] Tatsuru     Something that makes people want to     take a pic and post it to social media. [10:02] Takeda     If things go well, it could     downplay the weird flavor combo. [10:05] Tatsuru     Should we design a mascot to go with it? [10:08] Sota     Ugh, someone always suggests a mascot. [10:10] Takeda     All right! This is starting to come together. [10:12] Toya     Hey, this looks pretty promising. SIGN    Ramune Bottles     Aim for Broad Appeal     on Social Media [10:18] Tatsuru     Anyway, ramune bottles were a good idea. [10:25] Tatsuru     All right. [10:26] Tatsuru     Could you summarize what     we've discussed so far? [10:28] Mikoto     Got it. SIGN    Onion [10:43] Sota     You're like our grandpa. [10:45] Tatsuru     So this is why you always take so     long to write your daily reports? [10:48] Mikoto     Shut up! [10:49] Mikoto     You're distracting me! Be quiet! [10:52] Mikoto     This would be faster if I could     use flick inputs, like on a phone. [10:57] Sota     Guess I'll look for rare monsters. [10:58] Tatsuru     This is gonna take all night. [11:09] Mikoto     I'm so tired. [11:17] Tatsuru     Hey, this place is pretty big. [11:25] Mikoto     It's a big bath. You don't     have to sit right next to me. [11:28] Tatsuru     Now, now. [11:29] Tatsuru     Hanging out naked is an     essential part of friendship. [11:32] Mikoto     Not for me. [11:34] Tatsuru     That feels so good. [11:37] Mikoto     And here I thought I'd finally     get some time alone. [11:43] Mikoto     I just want to play badminton. [11:46] Mikoto     Why do I have to suffer through     sales and proposals? [11:50] Tatsuru     Because it's your job, obviously. [11:53] Tatsuru     For us, work and badminton are inseparable. [11:58] Mikoto     I don't understand this proposal      or SWOT stuff at all. [12:03] Tatsuru     You don't have to understand it right now. [12:06] Tatsuru     But whether it's proposals or anything else,     what's important is always the same. [12:13] Tatsuru     Nothing goes well unless     you put yourself into it. [12:17] Tatsuru     That goes for proposals and doubles. [12:21] Tatsuru     As long as you're into it,     you can return any shot, [12:25] Tatsuru     and your proposals will convince any client. [12:30] Mikoto     Sometimes you fail no matter      what you do, though. [12:38] Tatsuru     I asked you about it after the Unisics game, [12:41] Tatsuru     but did something happen     to you in your past? [12:45] Tatsuru     Someone as good as you doesn't     just ignore their own weaknesses. [12:52] Tatsuru     Well, y'know, I guess I'll go      wash my hair or something. [13:01] Mikoto     I'm scared to jump backwards. [13:07] Mikoto     During my high school Inter-High, [13:12] Mikoto     I had a doubles partner. [13:24] (Flashback) Mikoto     You okay, Azuma? [13:26] (Flashback) Azuma     Yeah, I'm fine. I'll handle the back. [13:30] (Flashback) Azuma     You focus on scoring. [13:52] (Flashback) Coach     Tachibana, are you okay? [13:54] (Flashback) Coach     Someone get a stretcher! [13:56] (Flashback) Coach     Are you all right? [13:59] Mikoto     He couldn't play badminton     anymore because of me. [14:07] Mikoto     We'd played together forever,     but I couldn't fully trust him. [14:12] Mikoto     So I ran away to Mitsuhoshi,     but I couldn't jump backwards anymore. [14:20] Mikoto     Even now, when shots come that     way, I imagine that moment. [14:25] Mikoto     My body won't move. [14:29] Tatsuru     I see. In that case, you're fine now. [14:33] Mikoto     Huh? [14:34] Tatsuru     You've got me behind you. [14:39] Tatsuru     Even if you can't jump, it's not a problem. [14:44] Tatsuru     After all, I'm stronger than you. [14:48] Mikoto     Huh? What makes you say that? [14:50] Tatsuru     I beat you on your first day. [14:53] Mikoto     Y-You just happened to win.     Don't let it get to your head. [14:56] Tatsuru     You know, I'm strong because      I take such good care of myself. [15:00] Mikoto     You passed out drunk in a park.     What are you talking about? [15:03] Tatsuru     Shut up. [15:05] Tatsuru     I feel better. [15:07] Mikoto     I think I stayed in too long. [15:11] Toya     Happy birthday! [15:15] Mikoto     Huh? [15:16] Mikoto     What is this? [15:18] Takeda     Shiratori, today's your 20th birthday, right? [15:22] Takeda     We thought we'd thank you for your work and     celebrate your birthday with a surprise. [15:26] Sota     Come on, birthday boy. Take your seat. [15:29] Mikoto     Hey, wait... [15:31] Mikoto     Toya, what do you think you're doing? [15:34] Toya     It wasn't me. It was Tatsuru-san. [15:37] Mikoto     Huh? [15:37] Tatsuru     Toya told me it was your birthday. [15:41] Tatsuru     Pretty nice party, right? [15:44] Mikoto     Why are you doing this for me? [15:46] Tatsuru     Why? [15:48] Tatsuru     Because you're one of us. [15:52] Takeda     Here. [15:54] Takeda     Not only are you one of us,     you're also a legal adult now.

[16:42] Takeda     Shiratori Mikoto is consuming     alcohol on his 20th birthday. [16:46] Takeda     What do you think of our     company's craft beer? [16:49] Takeda     You can tell it has a pretty     decent market share, can't you? [16:52] Mikoto     Not at all. [16:55] Tatsuru     You're drinking quite a lot,     considering it's your first time. [16:58] Toya     Don't push yourself too hard. [16:59] Mikoto     So bitter... [17:09] Toya     Mikoto, you should probably quit soon. [17:12] Takeda     You've got work tomorrow, right? [17:16] Mikoto     No problem. [17:18] Tatsuru     You really should stop. [17:20] Mikoto     What are you doing? [17:22] Toya     C'mon, drink some water. [17:26] Toya     Hey! [17:27] Toya     Seriously, enough with the booze. [17:33] Mikoto     This is...

[06:39] Mashiba     You'd never believe he injured     his triceps brachii. [06:42] Matsushita     A lot of athletes suffer physically     and psychologically over injuries. [06:45] Matsushita     But Tachibana-kun patiently     and steadily continued PT. [06:52] Matsushita     He's a strong athlete who     can keep moving forward [06:56] Matsushita     in order to win even when he stumbles. [06:58] Matsushita     It's the reason I recruited him.

[09:04] Toya     What a primitive strategy. [09:06] Takeda     Why'd they suddenly start doing that? [09:08] Takeda     You can more or less tell     where your partner is.

[18:19] Tonozaki     Since I have a foul mouth,     I thought I'd scared you. [18:26] Azuma     To be honest, I did think     you were a scary person. [18:32] Tonozaki     Pretty much everyone on this team [18:35] Tonozaki     is like me and needs to be     told things to understand. [18:39] Tonozaki     At first, there were a lot of conflicts. [18:42] Tonozaki     So now, I make sure to     say everything out loud. [18:46] Tonozaki     I'd appreciate it if you     could do the same, Azuma. [18:51] Azuma     Today's match made something clear to me. [18:55] Azuma     Until now, I'd thought only of making sure [18:58] Azuma     I didn't get left behind by     my partner—by Mikoto. [19:03] Azuma     But that won't make me stronger. [19:06] Azuma     I'd like to start over at Tomari. [19:10] Tonozaki     Nice. Let's aim to become     the strongest together. [19:14] Tonozaki     I look forward to playing with you, partner! [19:18] Azuma     Yes, sir! [19:21] Azuma     The truth is, I had plenty of     opportunities to talk to Mikoto. [19:25] Azuma     But I ran from them. [19:28] Azuma     I was counting on Mikoto to understand     everything, even if I didn't express it in words.

[19:46] Mikoto     You approached me when I was alone and     invited me to join the badminton team. [19:52] Mikoto     I'd never gone to karaoke with friends     before, but you took me to all those places. [19:59] Mikoto     It made me so happy. [20:01] Mikoto     Because of you, school     events were fun for me. [20:04] Sota     Like a tear-jerking video message. [20:05] Toya     I was there, too! [20:07] Azuma     Mikoto, could you not?     This is pretty embarrassing... [20:15] Mikoto     I was afraid you'd never be able     to play badminton again, so I ran. [20:22] Mikoto     Sorry.

[07:08] Mikoto     I understand why people call     them the company police. [07:11] Tatsuru     He's a serious and stubborn guy.     They're his strengths. [07:16] Tatsuru     But I think he could afford to be     a little more honest with himself. [07:20] Mikoto     Huh? [07:21] Tatsuru     I know he hasn't completely     let go of badminton. [07:26] Tatsuru     Otherwise, he wouldn't make excuses     to come watch us play at tournaments. [07:29] Mikoto     Oh, right. [07:31] Toya     You haven't smoothed out your shirts again. [07:34] Sota     Yeah, yeah. [07:36] Toya     You think tomorrow's tasting will go well? [07:39] Sota     Who knows? [07:40] Toya     "Who knows"? That's cold. [07:42] Toya     We came up with the proposal together. [07:44] Toya     Don't you want to do something to help? [07:47] Sota     The trial product's already been made. [07:49] Sota     There's nothing I can do to change     the outcome as a QA employee. [07:52] Toya     Maybe so, but... [07:55] Toya     I guess he'll be fine as long     as nothing major happens. [07:59] Sota     I'm sure he will be. SIGN    Sunlight Beverage SIGN    Tasting Session [08:13] Purchasing Dept 1     What's this stuff in storage? [08:16] Purchasing Dept 2     I'm not sure. Maybe it's     ingredients for the tasting. [08:19] Purchasing Dept 2     But there isn't enough for it to be that,     and there shouldn't be anything leftover. [08:25] Usuyama     Could you tell me more about that? [08:32] Takeda     Now we just have to wait     for the drinks to arrive. [08:37] Tatsuru     That looks pretty good on you. [08:44] Takeda     Speak of the devil. They're here. [08:47] Mikoto     Huh? Where's the green onion ginger ale? [08:49] Driver     What? This is everything. [08:52] Mikoto     Huh? [08:53] Tatsuru     That can't be right. [08:55] Usuyama     There's been a problem. [08:57] Usuyama     Because of that, the tasting of the green     onion ginger ale has been canceled. [09:02] All     What? [09:04] Mikoto     What? [09:07] Mikoto     The tasting is canceled? But why? [09:10] Usuyama     I was informed by the     purchasing department that [09:13] Usuyama     some ingredients that should      have been used in the ginger ale [09:15] Usuyama     may have been leftover. [09:18] Usuyama     It's possible ingredients      for another product [09:20] Usuyama     were mixed into the drink in     place of the leftover ingredients. [09:24] Mikoto     All this over a possibility— [09:25] Usuyama     Reducing that possibility to zero is the     job of the quality assurance department. [09:29] Usuyama     I can't allow the green onion ginger     ale to be shipped to the tasting. [09:33] Mikoto     But... [09:36] Tatsuru     It hasn't been confirmed yet, right? [09:38] Usuyama     It's simply extremely likely. [09:41] Toya     I'm going to ask my seniors if     there's anything we can do about it. [09:45] Takeda     Then I'll see if we can change     the order of the tasting session. [09:49] Tatsuru     We should do what we can, too. [09:52] Tatsuru     It's possible the wrong quantity was ordered. [09:55] Tatsuru     Let's check the order slip. [09:56] Ninosaka     We'll do what we can here. Go on. [10:00] Yata     What?

[10:08] Tatsuru     Best to have someone check in person. [10:09] Mikoto     Then I'll go— [10:10] Sota     No. [10:11] Sota     I'll go. [10:14] Usuyama     There's no need for you to go. [10:16] Sota     I helped write the proposal. [10:19] Sota     If I don't do something,     this will leave a bad taste in my mouth. [10:22] Tatsuru     All right. In that case,     we're counting on you, Sota. [10:25] Mikoto     Thank you. [10:27] Mikoto     Excuse me, do you have the order slip for     the green onion ginger ale ingredients? [10:33] Tatsuru     It's an emergency. Please. [10:35] Purchasing Dept 1     The slip was already sent to accounting. [10:39] Mikoto     Thank you. [10:41] Accounting Dept     The order slip? [10:42] Accounting Dept     It's already been sent to storage. [10:44] Mikoto     Could you let us in there? [10:48] Mikoto     Damn it. Where is it? [10:50] Tatsuru     Given the date, it should     be around here somewhere. [10:53] Mikoto     Is it really in here? [10:55] Accounting Dept     It sure is.

[13:20] Sota     The leftover ingredients at the warehouse     happened to be in similar-looking bags, [13:23] Sota     but they weren't for the     green onion ginger ale.

[17:25] Managing Director     Indeed. It would do well as one of     our company's unusual products. [17:30] President     Right? We'll promote it as this year's special— [17:32] Managing Director     However! [17:34] Managing Director     Recently, the reaction to our unusual     products has been diminishing. [17:39] President     But doing things other     companies can't is our— [17:43] Managing Director     Our company employs a large      number of employees. [17:47] Managing Director     We should cut back on products     that don't produce results. [17:50] President     Y-You're not wrong, but... [17:54] Mikoto     This doesn't look good. [17:56] Takeda     The president can be a pushover. [17:59] Managing Director     What our company needs is to     strengthen our key products.

[18:34] Mikoto     Why? [18:37] Managing Director     What's the matter? [18:38] Takeda     Nothing, uh... [18:45] Takeda     I can't do it. [18:47] (Flashback) Saruhashi     Just imagine everyone's naked. [19:02] Managing Director     What's so funny? [19:04] Takeda     It really works. [19:07] Takeda     Allow me to explain. [19:10] Takeda     We've already negotiated     with the manufacturer [19:12] Takeda     regarding the all-glass ramune bottles,     and things are looking good. [19:15] Takeda     Also, by using return bins, [19:18] Takeda     we can keep our CO2 emissions and container     manufacturing energy consumption low. [19:24] Takeda     Furthermore, we're partnering with     green onion farmers from Fukaya City [19:27] Takeda     and glass manufacturers     within the prefecture. [19:30] Takeda     Promoting green policies and     reinvigorating regional industries [19:35] Takeda     will improve our company's image. [19:38] Managing Director     What about the cost? [19:40] Managing Director     All of this costs time and money. [19:43] Managing Director     This better earn a profit. [19:45] Managing Director     You can make it sound as nice as you want, [19:48] Managing Director     but it doesn't mean anything without results. [19:51] Managing Director     Besides, I can't imagine     there's any demand for this. [19:54] Usuyama     May I speak? [19:56] Managing Director     I didn't ask for the QA department's opinion. [19:59] Managing Director     You only need to concern yourself     with safety and numbers. [20:02] Usuyama     You're right. According to the numbers, [20:06] Usuyama     the green onion ginger ale [20:08] Usuyama     received a high rating from 89% of the     guests who attended the tasting event.

[10:22] Tatsuru     Playing doubles with Mikoto was     supposed to be my last selfish act. [10:27] Tatsuru     But now I'm wondering if maybe     I can actually keep playing. [10:31] Tatsuru     I want more. [10:37] Izumo     Give up. [10:41] Tatsuru     You're right. [10:42] Izumo     Me putting an end to it is      enough to satisfy you? [10:46] Izumo     Ridiculous.

Names are handled on a best-effort basis depending on the info on the source file. Dialogue is left as is.) SIGN          Sales Department One:     Dealing With Miyazumi Tatsuru          To whom it may concern,     This is Kanda from Human Resources.     I have been informed by Executive Director Oshitari that      Miyazumi Tatsuru of Sales Department One committed     an act of violence at a dinner held at izakaya chain     restaurant "Toku-chan" the other day. [00:02] Executive Director     Now everything is in place. [00:05] Obata     He managed to cause a problem     at exactly the right time for us. [00:09] Executive Director     Disbanding the badminton team is essential     to slimming down the sales department. [00:13] Executive Director     And the first step toward     doing that is firing Miyazumi. [00:21] Mikoto     What is the old man doing? [00:23] Toya     This is an important match for us. [00:27] Mikoto     Coach. [00:29] Mikoto     One of our team members is late. [00:31] Mikoto     Wait, what's with the suit? [00:33] Ono     Tatsu probably won't make     it in time for the match. [00:36] Mikoto     Huh? [00:37] Ono     He's been called into the office. [00:40] Takeda     Tatsu-san's been called in?! [00:42] Usuyama     What happened? [00:43] Toya     What about the semifinals?! [00:44] Ono     Shut up! [00:46] Ono     I'm confirming the situation. [00:48] Ono     You boys focus on the match in front of you. [00:51] Ono     Saeki brothers and Usuyama, get warmed up. [00:55] Ono     Shiratori, worst case,     you'll play with Takeda. [00:59] Takeda     Wha... Me? SIGN    Salaryman's Club [02:34] Executive Director     The subject of today's     emergency board meeting [02:38] Executive Director     is how we'll deal with Miyazumi-kun,     who has committed an act of violence. SIGN    #10: Tradeoff [02:42] Tatsuru     What? Violence? [02:44] Executive Director     The other day, we held a dinner     with Vice President Tokui, [02:48] Executive Director     son of the president of     izakaya chain Toku-chan. [02:51] Executive Director     At that dinner, you committed     an act of violence. [02:54] Executive Director     Am I wrong? [02:55] Tatsuru     I don't remember committing     any acts of violence— [02:58] Executive Director     Don't lie to me! [03:00] Executive Director     The vice president is, in fact, injured! [03:03] Tokui     He suddenly pushed me. [03:06] Tatsuru     You tripped on your own. [03:10] Tatsuru     Sir, you were there, too. [03:12] Executive Director     I did indeed witness the     incident with my own eyes. [03:14] Executive Director     You pushed him. [03:18] President     Oshitari-kun, [03:19] President     surely we don't need to do this on      the day of an important tournament. [03:22] Executive Director     Allowing the culprit in such a scandal to [03:25] Executive Director     participate in a tournament would     damage people's faith in our company. [03:29] Executive Director     I believe it would be appropriate     to have Miyazumi-kun stay home [03:32] Executive Director     and consider his future at     the company during this time. [03:36] President     But... [03:39] Tatsuru     Are you telling me to quit? [03:43] Mikoto     Why isn't he even reading my messages? [03:46] Yata     Shiratori-kun! [03:48] Yata     What am I gonna do?! [03:49] Yata     I tried talking to the executive     director, but he wouldn't listen! [03:52] Mikoto     Y-Yata-san? [03:54] Mikoto     Calm down. What happened? [03:57] Yata     The other day, Miyazumi-san and I accompanied     the executive director to a dinner. [04:03] (Flashback) Tokui     Meat and red wine are a match made in heaven. [04:06] (Flashback) Tokui     Do you understand the     pairing of wine and meat? [04:09] (Flashback) Executive Director     Most impressive, Vice President     Tokui. You're so knowledgeable! [04:13] (Flashback) Tokui     Give it a taste. [04:15] (Flashback) Yata     Actually, uh, I'm not too fond of wine. [04:18] (Flashback) Tokui     It's all right. This one's very drinkable. [04:23] (Flashback) Tatsuru     Hey, you're right! I could     drink a whole mug of this. [04:30] (Flashback) Tokui     A friend of mine runs a bar around here. [04:34] (Flashback) Tokui     Why don't we go check it out? [04:35] (Flashback) Yata     Uh... [04:37] (Flashback) Tokui     They've got great drinks and finger food. [04:40] (Flashback) Tatsuru     Seriously? That sounds great! [04:42] (Flashback) Tokui     Just how inconsiderate are you?! [04:44] (Flashback) Tokui     What's your problem?! [04:46] (Flashback) Tatsuru     It's all right. I can go all night long. [04:50] (Flashback) Tokui     Shut up! What's wrong with you? [05:02] (Flashback) Executive Director     Sir! [05:03] Yata     And now they're saying it      was an act of violence. [05:07] Yata     What... What am I going to do     if Miyazumi-san is fired?! [05:13] Mikoto     I'll do something about it. [05:15] Yata     Huh? [05:24] Yota     Think we can win? [05:26] Sota     Tatsuru-san's not here. [05:28] Sota     We have to step up. [05:31] Toya     Yeah. [05:33] Sakaki     Sir, don't you think demanding     his resignation is a bit much? [05:36] Executive Director     I'm just asking him to consider it. [05:40] Tatsuru     I won't accept this! We need     to confirm the facts— [05:43] Executive Director     You're awfully persistent, aren't you? [05:44] Tokui     People who have done     wrong always deny it. [05:47] Obata     It also sounds like in     addition to this incident, [05:50] Obata     Miyazumi-kun has all sorts of other problems. [05:53] Executive Director     Exactly! [05:55] Executive Director     At the tasting in June, [05:58] Executive Director     he used a transport company with whom we     had no contract without authorization. [06:01] Executive Director     His deviation from the rules     cannot be overlooked! [06:06] Sakaki     He's just adjusting to circumstances     for the sake of our clients. [06:11] Sakaki     They speak very highly of them. [06:13] Executive Director     We also seem to have some employees     who aren't too happy with him. [06:18] Samejima     His sudden orders increase     the amount of unscheduled work. [06:21] Samejima     He spends too much entertaining clients. [06:24] Samejima     Even a quick investigation turned up      a lot of complaints about you. [06:26] Sakaki     But those have nothing     to do with this incident. [06:30] Obata     Don't you think allowing this problematic     behavior to continue emboldened him? [06:37] Tatsuru     I do think there were aspects of my behavior     that may have been a little pushy. [06:41] Tatsuru     I'll correct that, going forward. [06:43] Tatsuru     But I swear I never committed     any violent acts. [06:48] Executive Director     I see. I understand. [06:50] Executive Director     If you're so insistent you     didn't, then I'll believe you. [06:54] Executive Director     But in exchange, the badminton     team will be disbanded. [06:59] Tatsuru     What? SIGN    Saeki Sota     Saeki Toya [07:06] Hayato     I'm surprised. [07:07] Hayato     You're playing doubles, Sota. Not only that,     but you're playing with your brother. [07:12] Hayato     What a shame. I was prepared to      play against Miyazumi and Shiratori. [07:28] Sota     Damn. [07:29] Usuyama     So this is how large the     gap is between them. [07:31] Takeda     No, they'll still get their chance. [07:42] Toya     They're so strong. [07:46] Sota     This is the world's second-ranked team. [07:51] Tatsuru     Hold on. [07:53] Tatsuru     The badminton team has     nothing to do with this. [07:56] Executive Director     A team whose member has caused     a scandal can't be allowed to operate. [08:00] Executive Director     If people learned someone like     that was the team captain, [08:03] Executive Director     it would destroy our company's image. [08:05] Executive Director     Plus, I've been questioning the necessity of      the badminton team for some time now. [08:10] Executive Director     We receive very little in return     for the cost of maintaining it. [08:15] Executive Director     We should use those funds elsewhere to     expand our business, increase profits, [08:20] Executive Director     and give back to our employees! [08:21] Executive Director     Is that not how a company should operate?! [08:25] Executive Director     The team should be shut down! [08:28] Tatsuru     But... [08:30] Executive Director     Because you won't admit     fault, we have no choice. [08:33] Executive Director     You're being held collectively responsible. [08:37] Tatsuru     If I quit the company, will the badminton     team be allowed to continue to operate? [08:42] Executive Director     That depends on your attitude. [08:49] Tatsuru     Very well.

[09:40] Hayato     What's wrong? [09:41] Oginome     Their front player was blocking the shuttle. [09:43] Hayato     Can't help that, then.     Let's get the next one.

[11:05] Hayato     Once we're used to it,     there's no need to panic. [11:07] Oginome     Yeah. [11:08] Ono     We expected them to figure     out how to handle it. [11:11] Ono     The real battle starts here. [11:15] Hayato     Here it comes. [11:21] Ref     14-11. [11:23] Hayato     A net-cord. [11:25] Oginome     It was a lucky shot. Don't let it bother you. [11:34] Hayato     Is he doing it on purpose? [11:39] Oginome     Is that even possible? [11:43] Ono     The huge by-product of all their     training is that net-cord smash.
