[00:25] Sota
    Usuyama-san, are you sure you took
    time off from playing badminton?
[00:28] Usuyama
    My stamina is still lagging way behind.
[00:32] Usuyama
    I've got a long way to go.
[00:34] Ono
    Gather up.
[00:37] Ono
    I've got something to tell you boys today.
[00:39] Ono
    It's about the future of the badminton team.
[00:43] Toya
    Ko-san, do you need the bathroom?
[00:45] Sota
    Wait until after this.
[00:46] Takeda
    It's not that!
[00:47] Ono
    Toya! Sota!
[00:49] Both
    Sorry, sir!
[00:54] Ono
    You two...
[00:56] Ono
    will be playing doubles together.
[01:00] Both
    Huh?
[01:03] Both
    What?!
SIGN    Salaryman's Club
[02:37] Toya
    What do you mean, we'll be playing doubles?!
SIGN    #08: Breakthrough
[02:40] Toya
    My brother plays singles,
    and I've got Ko-san—
[02:44] Toya
    Wait...
[02:46] Ono
    Takeda's retiring from play
     and becoming a coach.
[02:51] Takeda
    It's not a bad thing.
[02:54] Takeda
    I'd been considering it for
    a while. You knew that, Toya.
[02:58] Mikoto
    But you overcame your
    performance anxiety recently.
[03:03] Takeda
    That's why I'm doing this.
[03:04] Mikoto
    Huh?
[03:05] Takeda
    In our match against Unisics
    at the corporate tournament,
[03:08] Takeda
    I played at full strength and lost.
[03:12] Takeda
    I gave everything I had as
    a player and still lost.
[03:17] Takeda
    Now that Usuyama-san's joined the team,
[03:20] Takeda
    when I thought about what I could
     do to help SunBev improve,
[03:25] Takeda
    I realized I had to become a coach.
[03:26] Toya
    But...
[03:27] Takeda
    I'm engaging with badminton
    on the path of my choosing.
[03:31] Toya
    Ko-san...
[03:33] Ono
    Takeda's always paying close
    attention to his surroundings.
[03:36] Ono
    He'll make a good coach.
[03:39] Tatsuru
    I hope you'll provide us with some
     good guidance, Coach Takeda.
[03:44] Takeda
    You can count on me, team!
[03:46] Takeda
    Try not to let my coaching
    throw you off the team.
[03:48] Toya
    See? It went straight to his head.
[03:54] Ono
    Now then, our goal is winning the S/J League.
[04:01] Ono
    It won't be like the number two league
    we were playing in until last year.
[04:04] Ono
    We'll be going hard with a winning lineup!
[04:07] All
    Yes, sir!
[04:08] Ono
    Doubles 1 will be Tatsu and Shiratori.
[04:10] Ono
    We'll start with you two
    locking down a win for us.
[04:13] Both
    Yes, sir.
[04:14] Ono
    Usuyama, you'll be playing singles.
[04:15] Ono
    Make up for the gap in your
    badminton career with grit.
[04:18] Usuyama
    Yes, sir!
[04:19] Ono
    Doubles 2 will be Sota and Toya.
[04:21] Ono
    You've got the potential for dramatic change.
[04:24] Ono
    I've got high hopes for you.
[04:26] Toya
    Yes, sir!
[04:27] Sota
    Yes, sir.
[04:32] Toya
    Hey, you're picking out
    your bell peppers again.
[04:35] Sota
    I'll eat them later.
[04:37] Toya
    Yeah, right.
[04:39] Sota
    Are you really okay with Ko-san's decision?
[04:46] Toya
    I think some part of me blamed
    Ko-san for our losses.
[04:54] Toya
    Even though I made a ton of
    mistakes, he'd always apologize.
[05:01] Toya
    I took advantage of that.
[05:04] Toya
    I don't think Ko-san will regret
    choosing to become a coach.
[05:08] Toya
    So I want to give 100% to
    everything I can do, too.
[05:13] Toya
    I mean, it does feel a little weird
    having you as my partner.
[05:17] Toya
    But...
[05:18] Toya
    Bro?
[05:20] Sota
    I'm going for a run.
[05:21] Toya
    Huh? Hey, Bro!
[05:30] (Flashback) Ono
    Usuyama, you'll be playing singles.
[05:32] (Flashback) Ono
    You two will be playing doubles together.
[05:47] Mikoto
    It's kinda quiet today.
[05:49] Tatsuru
    Is Takeda late to his first day as a coa—
[05:52] Tatsuru
    Hey, ow, ow, ow!
[05:56] Toya
    My brother's not here yet, either.
[05:59] Takeda
    B-Bad news, guys!
[06:01] Toya
    Office gossip again?
[06:03] Takeda
    It's Sota!
[06:05] Takeda
    He... He submitted his team resignation!
[06:13] Coworker
    Saeki, don't you need to go to practice?
[06:16] Sota
    Oh, you know...
[06:17] Toya
    You dumb piece of shit!
[06:21] Coworker
    What the?
[06:22] Toya
    You didn't tell me you were quitting!
[06:24] Toya
    What do you think you're doing?!
[06:26] Toya
    You're always—
[06:28] Sota
    We're in the office.
[06:30] Sota
    Sorry about the noise.
[06:34] Toya
    So what's this about you quitting
    when we're just getting started?
[06:38] Sota
    I'm just a filler player now.
[06:41] Sota
    I might as well not be on the team.
[06:44] Toya
    Why would you say that?
[06:47] Sota
    It was already over once
    I was taken off singles.
[06:51] Sota
    I was swapped to doubles
    because I was left over
[06:54] Sota
    after Usuyama-san joined
    the team and Ko-san quit.
[06:58] Toya
    Nobody thinks that.
[07:00] Sota
    I wouldn't be so sure. Deep down,
    you feel sorry for me, didn't you?
[07:07] Toya
    What?
[07:08] Sota
    Having you play doubles with me out
    of pity just makes me feel miserable.
[07:13] Toya
    I want to play with—
[07:15] Sota
    Spare me that crap.
[07:17] Sota
    Honestly, it's annoying.
[07:25] Toya
    I see.

[08:00] Usuyama
    They did sound jealous, though.
    They said it wasn't fair.
[08:03] Sota
    If you're trying to convince me
    to change my mind, I already—
[08:06] Usuyama
    I'm not giving up the singles spot.
[08:09] Usuyama
    I might've disrupted the team by joining.
[08:13] Usuyama
    I know it's an important time
    with the tournament coming up.
[08:16] Usuyama
    But I made that choice prepared
    for everything it would entail.
[08:21] Sota
    I know I can't compete with you.
[08:24] Sota
    The coach made the right decision.
[08:27] Usuyama
    You're always capable of calmly seeing
    things from a bird's-eye view.
[08:31] Usuyama
    You're an honest worker. As your
    superior, I have no complaints.
[08:35] Usuyama
    But don't you think you're being
     inconsiderate of your own feelings?
[08:42] Usuyama
    As your teammate, I don't want
    you to give up like I did once.
[08:49] Usuyama
    Of course, I don't regret choosing my family.
[08:55] Sota
    Your son's an only child, right?
[08:58] Usuyama
    Huh? Yeah.
[09:01] Sota
    Sometimes I wonder stupid things,
    like why I had to be the older brother...
[09:07] Sota
    Having to stay ahead of him just because
    I was born first is actually pretty hard.
[09:14] Sota
    It's not like there are save points.
[09:16] Usuyama
    I heard Toya-kun started playing
    badminton because he looked up to you.
[09:21] Sota
    Whenever I turn around, he's looking
    back at me with glittering eyes,
[09:27] Sota
    even though I'm just Villager A.
[09:33] (Flashback) Toya
    You're amazing, Bro!
[09:37] Sota
    I'm not actually that attached to singles.
[09:41] Sota
    I just didn't want to disappoint Toya
    as his brother and partner, so I ran.
[09:51] Toya
    It's freakin' unbelievable!
[09:54] Toya
    Why do I feel like I've been rejected?!
[09:57] Mikoto
    Just go home already.
[09:59] Toya
    I can't go home!
[10:01] Toya
    I don't wanna see his stupid face!
[10:03] Mikoto
    Calm down.
[10:06] Toya
    Maybe he actually hates me.
[10:10] Mikoto
    That's not true. You're brothers.
[10:12] Toya
    You're an only child!
    You don't know what it's like!
[10:15] Mikoto
    I sure don't!
[10:16] Toya
    Where's Tatsuru-san, anyway? I wanted
    to bitch to him about sibling crap.
[10:21] Mikoto
    Now that you mention it,
    it has been quiet recently.
[10:23] Toya
    He's out on a Friday night? Damn normie!
[10:26] Toya
    Mister, could I get another?

    Could you practice with me after this?
[10:36] Tatsuru
    Oh, sorry. I've got something to do.

    Didn't you say the same thing last week?
[10:42] Tatsuru
    Did I? In any case, see you next week.

    It must be spring.
[10:51] Mikoto
    What? It's summer right now.
[10:53] Takeda
    I'm talking about Tatsu-san.
[10:55] Takeda
    He's been disappearing a lot lately.
[10:57] Takeda
    It must be because he got a girlfriend.
[11:02] Mikoto
    There's no way.
[11:04] Takeda
    All right. As the Walking Speaker,
    I swear I'll get to the bottom of this.
[11:10] Takeda
    There is always one truth!

    Try again.

    What?! Why?!
[11:20] Toya

    That's not true! He gives 120% to both!
[19:56] Executive Director
    What's gotten into you?
[19:58] Toya
    Mikoto, enough already.
[19:59] Usuyama
    We're really sorry.
[20:02] Mikoto
    Everyone in the sales department
    supports the badminton team.
[20:06] Mikoto
    It motivates us to meet their expectations!
[20:10] Mikoto
    And besides, we'll win
    the S/J League this year!
[20:13] Executive Director
    Win? Now that's a funny joke.
[20:20] Mikoto
    A Badaryman doesn't go back on his word.
[20:24] Mikoto
    You wouldn't know since you're always
    sitting up there on your corporate throne,
[20:29] Mikoto
    but this team is strong.
[20:31] Mikoto
    We won't lose.
[22:14] Mikoto
    Good morning.
[22:16] Yata
    Good morning. Hung over again?
[22:20] Mikoto
    Huh? Did he head straight
    to see a client today?
[22:23] Yata
    Miyazumi-san's on a business
    trip to Osaka starting today.
[22:26] Yata
    Didn't anyone tell you?

[22:36] Mikoto
    Miyazumi-san!
[22:39] Tatsuru
    What's the matter?
[22:43] Mikoto
    You've been acting weird recently.
[22:45] Mikoto
    You didn't even mention your business trip,
    and you've been slacking off at practice.
[22:50] Mikoto
    Didn't we say we'd win the S/J League?
[22:55] Tatsuru
    I was going to tell you once
    I got back, but whatever.
[23:00] Mikoto
    What?
[23:02] Tatsuru
    I'd like to dissolve our doubles team.
