[00:02] Tatsuru
    Cheers!
[00:03] All
    Cheers.
[00:03] All
    We're in the finals!
[00:04] All
    Good work everyone.
[00:05] Takeda
    I'm so glad your situation seems to
     have worked out, too, Tatsu-san.
[00:11] Tatsuru
    I caused a lot of trouble for you guys today.
[00:15] Tatsuru
    Sorry!
[00:15] Toya
    Seriously, there was a ton of pressure on us.
[00:19] Takeda
    You'd better treat us
    to something, Tatsu-san.
[00:22] Tatsuru
    Sure, you can count on me.
[00:24] Mikoto
    I want a hundred gacha pulls.
[00:42] Mikoto
    Shouldn't we have told them the truth?
[00:46] (Flashback) Executive Director
    Let's make a bet, then.
[00:48] (Flashback) Executive Director
    If you win, I'll overlook this incident.
[00:51] (Flashback) Executive Director
    But if you lose, Miyazumi-kun
    will quit the team.
[00:56] Tatsuru
    It'll be all right.
    We're already playing to win.
[01:02] Mikoto
    Of course.

[01:14] Ono
    Mitsuhoshi's been swapping the order
[01:16] Ono
    of their doubles one and two
    teams since their first match.
[01:20] Takeda
    You can afford to do that when
    you're the reigning champs.
[01:22] Ono
    If they keep going in order,
[01:24] Ono
    their doubles one team in the finals
     will be Takimoto and Nakamura,
[01:27] Ono
    and their doubles two team will
    be Kirishima Takuma and Izumo.
[01:31] Ono
    Given that, our doubles one team
    will be the Saeki brothers.
[01:35] Ono
    Usuyama will play singles.
[01:36] Ono
    And our doubles two team
    will be Tatsu and Shiratori.
[01:40] Ono
    A change of partners, a seven-year
    gap, and injury troubles.
[01:46] Ono
    You guys overcame all that
     and rose up to this point.
[01:49] Ono
    We're aiming for the top.
[01:51] Ono
    Go blast a hole through their guts!
[01:55] All
    Yes, sir!
[02:02] Takuma
    I thought I'd be playing my brother today.
[02:08] Takuma
    You guys made it to
    the finals on luck alone.
[02:12] Takuma
    Gonna ignore me?
[02:13] Takuma
    Whatever. Either way, I'll win.
[02:18] Mikoto
    You keep talking about yourself,
    but doubles is a two-person game.
[02:23] Takuma
    What kind of weak sauce is that?
[02:26] Takuma
    Just so you know, I'm only playing
    doubles because of my brother.
[02:30] Takuma
    I don't care who my partner is,
    as long as they don't hold me back.
[02:35] Takuma
    We've won until now because
    I'm strong. That's all.
[02:40] Mikoto
    That's your approach to badminton?
[02:45] Takuma
    Don't get ahead of yourself, loser.
[02:52] Mikoto
    We will win. Together.

    Sir, thank you for taking time out
    of your busy schedule to come.

[03:39] Ono
    They're overshadowed by

    Destiny?

    Yukei.
[06:38] Saruhashi
    I get it!
[06:39] Saruhashi
    Known as Usuyama of the East and Ibuki of
    the West during their high school days,
[06:43] Saruhashi
    they're playing each other for
    the first time in 11 years.
[06:47] Azuma
    It'll be a fierce match.
[06:50] Tonozaki
    Yeah.
[06:54] Takeda
    Relax!

    Daddy, you can do it!
[07:06] Usuyama
    Ibuki...
[07:08] Usuyama
    I never imagined I'd be
    playing against you again.
[07:13] Usuyama
    But...
[07:16] Usuyama
    I'm not here to practice
    with a stronger player.
[07:19] Usuyama
    I returned to the game so I could win!
[07:29] Usuyama
    His defense has no openings.
[07:30] Usuyama
    His shots are accurate.
[07:33] Usuyama
    He's truly strong.
[07:58] Ono
    Both of them play defensively, looking for
    opportunities to attack during rallies.
[08:05] Ono
    Which puts Usuyama at a disadvantage,
    given his time away.
[08:10] Usuyama
    If I keep playing safely, he'll beat me
    before I find a chance to attack.
[08:16] Usuyama
    In that case...
[08:21] Usuyama
    I'll quit playing it safe!
[08:28] Ono
    He's going for it.
[08:37] Toya
    I've never seen Usuyama-san
    play so aggressively before.
[08:40] Sota
    Not only that, but he's
    making really risky plays.
[08:43] Tatsuru
    He knows the risks, huh?

[09:03] Misora
    Wow, he took a game off him.
[09:08] Usuyama
    Ibuki doesn't play aggressively
    during the first game.
[09:10] Usuyama
    He waits to see what his opponent will do.
[09:12] Usuyama
    In the next game, I'll overpower him
    before he has a chance to attack.
[09:28] Sota
    He's attacking.
[09:34] Yagami
    Did you guys see that high-speed drive?
[09:37] Natsuki
    What an incredible course!
[09:39] Takeda
    Can anyone catch up to that?
[09:42] Ibuki
    I've gotta hand it to you, Usuyama.
[09:45] Ibuki
    Making up for your break must
    be hard enough already.
[09:47] Ibuki
    Changing your play style mid-game
[09:50] Ibuki
    isn't an easy thing to do.
[09:53] Ibuki
    That said, it's still not enough.
[10:00] Usuyama
    No matter where I hit it, he returns it.
[10:02] Usuyama
    I have no chance to attack!
[10:04] Azuma
    Ibuki-san's in total control of the game.
[10:12] Usuyama
    How's this?!
[10:27] Misora
    Ibuki-san's incredible!
[10:29] Misora
    He took the second game
    without hitting any smashes.
[10:32] Oginome
    It must be mentally difficult
    for his opponent.
[10:36] Ono
    Clears and lobs are easy to attack against.
[10:39] Ono
    Keep your returns as low as possible.
[10:41] Usuyama
    Yes, sir.
[10:42] Ono
    As long as you're patient,
    you will get the chance to attack.
[10:47] Usuyama
    Yes, sir.

    Singles is a solitary battle.
[11:02] Usuyama
    It's just you on the court.
[11:05] Usuyama
    There's no one else to rely on.
[11:08] Usuyama
    Ibuki's remained at the top
    of singles since high school.
[11:13] Usuyama
    His overwhelming strength
[11:15] Usuyama
    stems from the honors he received
    in exchange for his grand solitude.
[11:24] Usuyama
    I took a seven-year break from badminton.
[11:27] Usuyama
    I'm reminded of the magnitude of
    what you built during that time.
[11:33] Usuyama
    I was naïve.
[11:35] Usuyama
    I was so naïve.
[11:38] Usuyama
    This is my limit.
[11:43] Megumu
    Daddy!
[11:45] Futami
    Daddy!
[11:46] Megumu
    You can do it!

    I have teammates who support me.

    So that's where your strength
    comes from, Usuyama.

    It's not something I need,
    but I suppose I am a bit jealous.

    Do you seriously think you can
    beat us with that half-assed effort?

[17:28] Oginome
    The same is true of Ibuki-san,
[17:30] Oginome
    but left-handed players' cut smashes
    apply backspin to the shuttle.

    This increases its speed,
