**[00:03] Takeda**
What happened to him?
**[00:06] Toya**
Tachibana Azuma.
**[00:07] Takeda**
Huh?
**[00:08] Toya**
The guy playing with Tonozaki-san
is Mikoto's former partner.
**[00:12] Toya**
He's the reason Mikoto can't
jump backwards anymore.

Hey, you okay?
**[00:28] Mikoto**
I'm fine.
**[00:37] Ono**
You having a tough time playing
against your old partner?
**[00:40] Ono**
This is a world of pure competition.
**[00:43] Ono**
Only the winners get to advance.
**[00:45] Ono**
Haven't you got the resolve to live
in that kind of world, Shiratori?
**[00:51] Mikoto**
We'll win the next game.
**[00:56] Ono**
*Hang in there, Shiratori. I'm betting that*
**[01:00] Ono**
*you'll become even stronger.*

They say he's a prodigy. Talk about cool.
**[02:50] (Flashback) Mikoto**
I wish they'd shut up.
**[02:50] (Flashback) Member 1**
Come to think of it, Mikoto played
a huge role in this match, too.
**[02:52] (Flashback) Mikoto**
Azuma, let's warm up.
**[02:53] (Flashback) Azuma**
Okay.
**[02:53] (Flashback) Member 2**
Yeah, seriously. They couldn't return
any of his smashes in the second game.
**[02:57] (Flashback) ---**
Not a single one!
**[02:57] (Flashback) Teacher**
Sorry you didn't get a
recommendation to Toba High.
**[03:01] (Flashback) Azuma**
It's only natural. Mikoto's better than I am.
**[03:05] (Flashback) Teacher**
So what are you going
to do after graduation?
**[03:08] (Flashback) Azuma**
I'm going to take the general entrance exam.
**[03:09] (Flashback) Teacher**
I see. Well, I'm sure you'll be fine.
**[03:13] (Flashback) Teacher**
Good luck in high school, Golden Pair.

Okay, guys. Make sure you strengthen
your weak shots by the next tournament.

I bet he's got connections.
**[03:43] (Flashback) Toya**
Quit talking about people
behind their backs. It's lame.
**[03:46] (Flashback) Toya**
Our team's a total meritocracy.
**[03:49] (Flashback) Mikoto**
Don't let it get to you.
**[03:50] (Flashback) Mikoto**
Together, we're the strongest.

Yeah.

*I wanted a weapon that was all mine.*
**[04:02] (Flashback) Advisor**
You're still training?
I'm locking up. Go home.
**[04:06] (Flashback) Azuma**
Yes, sir. Sorry.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Advisor**
Don't train too hard on your own.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Advisor**
You shouldn't push your body too
hard before it's fully developed.
**[04:14] (Flashback) Azuma**
I'll be careful.

Hey, isn't that Mitsuhoshi's coach?
**[04:28] (Flashback) Toya**
Is he here to scout? I'm kinda nervous!
**[04:31] (Flashback) Mikoto**
I'm not.
**[04:32] (Flashback) Toya**
Yeah, yeah. The great prodigy Mikoto-sama
doesn't have to worry about anything.
**[04:38] (Flashback) Mikoto**
You're mocking me, aren't you?
Don't call me that.

You focus on scoring.
**[05:13] Azuma**
*They're gunning for me.*
**[05:18] Azuma**
*I can't hold us back.*
**[05:28] Azuma**
*I have to make this shot!*

**[06:06] Azuma**
*I admired Mikoto. I wanted to be like him.*
**[06:11] Azuma**
*So why the hell is he playing like that?*
***SIGN*** Tonozaki Shiryu Tachibana Azuma
***SIGN*** Miyazumi Tatsuru Shiratori Mikoto
**[06:17] Azuma**
*Is it because he feels guilt over me?*
**[06:29] Azuma**
*If this is how the game's going to go,*
**[06:33] Azuma**
*I wish we hadn't run into each other.*
**[06:35] Mashiba**
Tachibana-kun's play is sharp.
**[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.

Hey, you're doing pretty well,
considering it's your first tournament.
**[07:05] Azuma**
Thank you.
**[07:06] Tonozaki**
Let's pick up the tempo. Try to keep up.
**[07:10] Azuma**
Yes, sir.
**[07:17] Ayaka**
Nice shot!
**[07:19] Ayaka**
One more! One more! One more!
**[07:22] Toya**
It's no use. They're being overpowered.

Why are you holding back?!

Do you feel sorry for me?!
**[07:41] Azuma**
I don't enjoy winning like this at all!
**[07:45] Yata**
Whoa, they're fighting about something.
**[07:53] Tonozaki**
Even you get pissed off sometimes, huh?
**[07:57] Azuma**
I lost my composure. I'm sorry.
**[08:09] Mikoto**
Ow!
**[08:09] Tatsuru**
Ow! I did that way too hard!

Go, go, Tomari!

I'm hyping you up here.
**[08:16] Tomari Cheer Squad**
Get it, get it, Tomari!
**[08:18] Tatsuru**
Why do you look so lifeless?
**[08:20] Tomari Cheer Squad**
Go, go, Tomari!
**[08:20] Tatsuru**
What's the number one thing
we have to do right now?
**[08:24] Mikoto**
Win.
**[08:25] Tatsuru**
Right? I've got a good idea.

What are they, amateurs?
**[08:52] Gokura**
Yukei.
**[08:54] Saruhashi**
I get it! By shouting,
**[08:56] Saruhashi**
they're not only confirming who's getting
what, but also each other's location!
**[09:01] Mashiba**
In other words... muscles!
**[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.
**[09:12] Toya**
I think it means the incident with Azuma
was so traumatic that Mikoto can't do that.
**[09:19] Tatsuru**
Mine!
**[09:19] Mikoto**
Yours!
**[09:21] Tonozaki**
Good, good! Come and get us!
**[09:26] Tonozaki**
We can't let them build momentum.

Hey, you.

Y-Yes?!
**[18:04] Tonozaki**
Be honest. Is playing with me difficult?

Huh? Uh, no.
**[18:09] Tonozaki**
Really?
**[18:10] Azuma**
Yes.
**[18:13] Tonozaki**
Seriously? I was freaking out about that...
**[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!

Where have you been, Azuma?
**[19:38] Azuma**
Huh? M-Mikoto?
**[19:40] Mikoto**
You were always... always thinking about me.
**[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**

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.
**[20:24] Mikoto**
I'm sorry.
**[20:27] Mikoto**
But...
**[20:29] Mikoto**
Still, I'm glad we got to play today.
**[20:33] Mikoto**
It was fun.
**[20:35] Mikoto**
Thank you so much.
**[20:38] Tatsuru**
Whoops.
**[20:39] Takeda**
Tatsu-san, you know you can't let him drink!
**[20:42] Tatsuru**
Sorry. He gets like this when he drinks.
**[20:45] Tatsuru**
He meant every word, though.
**[20:49] Toya**
But he won't remember it.
**[20:55] Azuma**
I see.
**[22:31] (Flashback) Tatsuru**
Aw, man.
**[22:32] (Flashback) Tatsuru**
That was quite the fall.
**[22:35] (Flashback) Tatsuru**
You don't need to try so
hard to return everything.
**[22:38] (Flashback) Mikoto**
But I got it.
**[22:42] (Flashback) Mikoto**
You lose when it hits the ground, right?
**[22:47] (Flashback) Tatsuru**
I see. Yeah, you're right.
**[22:51] (Flashback) Tatsuru**
That's exactly right.
**[22:54] (Flashback) Tatsuru**
Thanks, Mikoto.
**[23:07] Tatsuru**
I'm glad I got to play
with you before it's over.
