     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.

[09:37] Takeda
    All right! They did it!
[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.
[10:00] Ono
    Start with a jab.
[10:09] (Flashback) Sota
    Ow!
[10:12] (Flashback) Toya
    Sorry, Bro.
[10:18] (Flashback) Toya
    It's not on purpose, really.
[10:22] Toya
    That's odd. It's like the shuttle is being
    sucked in toward my brother's head.

[12:51] Mikoto
    I learned to do my job because of this man.

    trying to force her to drink,

    you got drunk and broke the restaurant's

    I actually have some reservations
    about Miyazumi, as well.
[14:07] (Flashback) Tokui
    Do something about it, then.
[14:10] (Flashback) Executive Director
    Actually, I have a suggestion.
[14:17] Tokui
    How dare you drag me into this farce?
[14:20] Tokui
    You won't get away with this!
[14:25] Executive Director
    No, wait!
[14:27] Executive Director
    Sir!
[14:31] President
    Oshitari-kun, for the time being...
[14:35] Executive Director
    There seem to have been some factual
    errors concerning Vice President Tokui,
[14:39] Executive Director
    but it's true that he enraged
    an important client!
[14:44] Executive Director
    Allowing this man to be team captain
[14:46] Executive Director
    and play his little badminton games
[14:49] Executive Director
    will bring down employee morale and
    negatively affect our business!
[14:53] Mikoto
    "Little badminton games"?
[14:55] Executive Director
    As far as serious, hardworking employees
    are concerned, it's just games.
[14:59] Executive Director
    After all, you've failed to
    achieve anything significant.
[15:02] Mikoto
    But we will!

    We'll win the S/J League!

    Oh? Let's make a bet, then.

    But if you lose, Miyazumi-kun
    will quit the team.

    Didn't you say you'd win?

    Fine.

    Nice cover!

    Sota-kun, you've changed.
