SIGN    Saitama Matsugishi Public Elementary [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. [07:40] Usuyama     Hey, good evening.

[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? [10:29] Mikoto     This ain't an izakaya! [10:33] Mikoto     Could you practice with me after this? [10:36] Tatsuru     Oh, sorry. I've got something to do. [10:39] Mikoto     Didn't you say the same thing last week? [10:42] Tatsuru     Did I? In any case, see you next week. [10:49] Takeda     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! [11:16] Sota     Try again. [11:17] Toya     What?! Why?! [11:20] Toya     ...Sir.

[11:39] Sota     There's no point in selling the drink      if it causes problems later. [11:45] Sota     Why haven't you come home? [11:47] Toya     You don't want to see my face, do you? [11:51] Sota     In any case, please resubmit your     design first thing tomorrow. [11:55] Toya     Fine. [11:58] Mikoto     It's unusual for Toya to miss practice. [12:00] Takeda     Yeah, apparently he's having some problems. [12:03] Mikoto     Huh? [12:12] Toya     Why is he ignoring my calls and messages? [12:18] Toya     It's my senior. [12:20] Toya     I can't get in touch with the designer. [12:24] Senior Employee     He's famous for refusing to do redesigns.
