    How do you feel about your younger

[05:50] Hayato
    My brother Takuma is even more stoic

    I couldn't handle it if my younger brother
    were ranked number one in the world.

    Simply put, he's amazing.

    His playstyle is totally different from

    In any case, it'll be your fault

    Is Sales responsible for doing this, too?

    It may look pointless to you, but this

    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.

    So why are we drinking at the dorm?

[08:58] Tatsuru
    C'mon, spit it out.

    Hey, what are you doing?

    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.

    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.

    He has almost none of the habits
    normal people always have.

[18:13] Mikoto
    I have an idea.
[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?

    All right. Now I'm all fired up.

    Impossible. I can't believe

[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.
