    --Yeah, it's practice time! Transform!
[00:09] ---
    --Would you shut up, Shingo?
    --Yeah, it's practice time! Transform!
[00:11] ---
    --Hey, let's all practice volleys!
    --Tsubasa, let's stretch!
[00:12] ---
    --Hey, let's all practice volleys!
    --Cut it out! Argh! Ow! Lemme go, you ass!
[00:13] ---
    --That's a good idea.
    --Cut it out! Argh! Ow! Lemme go, you ass!
[00:14] ---
    --I'd like to practice serving.
    --Cut it out! Argh! Ow! Lemme go, you ass!
[00:17] ---
    It's good for you, Tsubasa!
[00:19] ---
    --No it ain't! Let go! Your stretches hurt!
[00:20] ---
    --Hey, could you lend me a spare racket?
    --No it ain't! Let go! Your stretches hurt!
[00:21] ---
    --Hey, could you lend me a spare racket?
    --You're fine, you're fine!
[00:23] ---
    --Forget yours?
    --Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
[00:26] ---
    Sorta.
[00:27] ---
    'Sup!
[00:28] ---
    --Quit it!
    --We're going ahead!
    --What's our practice?
[00:33] ---
    What happened to your racket?
[00:36] ---
    Sorry, I broke it.
[00:38] ---
    Huh?
[00:41] ---
    Will there ever come a day
    when I can forgive myself?
[00:54] ---
    Until now, I've been punishing myself,
    carrying that burden without saying a word
[01:10] ---
    Like a tropical fish thrown into
    a fresh-water tank
[01:23] ---
    It's waving its tail fin,
    but it's not as if it's swimming
[01:33] ---
    Just floundering as it drowns
[01:36] ---
    Faintly heard from the distant sea
[01:40] ---
    The crashing waves are not some dream
[01:44] ---
    And if with my ears I listen carefully
[01:52] ---
    I can hear the whales
    singing together a song of joy
[02:03] ---
    "Stars Align"
    I can hear the whales
    singing together a song of joy

    "Episode 5"
[02:13] ---
    Huh? Where are they?
[02:14] ---
    Huh? Where are they?
[02:17] ---
    Those two are missing.
[02:18] ---
    Yeah. Said they had to talk about something.
[02:22] ---
    Oh?
[02:28] ---
    Don't try to hide it.
    You didn't break your racket.
[02:32] ---
    You're not that stupid.
[02:34] ---
    What happened?
[02:54] ---
    My dad broke it.
[02:55] ---
    Your dad? But aren't your parents divorced?
[02:59] ---
    Yeah. They divorced
    back when I was eight years old.
[03:05] ---
    But well, you could say he's trash.
[03:11] ---
    The thing is, he occasionally
    stops by for some money.
[03:15] ---
    For money?
[03:17] ---
    Doesn't he work?
[03:19] ---
    Who knows? I've got no clue.
[03:25] ---
    He comes when my mom isn't around.
[03:29] ---
    He knows I'm the only one there.
[03:32] ---
    Why?
[03:34] ---
    Because he used to hit me all the time.
[03:37] ---
    Hit you?
[03:45] ---
    I don't remember everything
    since I was pretty young, but...
[03:55] ---
    I think... he always stayed at home.
[03:59] ---
    Because my mom was working.
[04:10] ---
    All he really had to do was watch me.
[04:13] ---
    But rather than that, he often... beat me.
[04:19] ---
    You remember it?
[04:20] ---
    More or less.
[04:23] ---
    That's why when I see him,
    I kinda freeze up, even now.
[04:27] ---
    I know it's pathetic.
[04:29] ---
    That's not true at all.
[04:32] ---
    I'm pretty sure he gets enjoyment
    out of terrorizing me.
[04:37] ---
    He smashed the racket right in front of me,
    but I couldn't do anything.
[04:43] ---
    He said he'll be back today,
    so I better have some ready.
[04:48] ---
    Money?
[04:50] ---
    My mom knows full well
    that he comes by to get money.
[04:56] ---
    That's why, she always...
[05:00] ---
    She always sets some aside for him on the desk.
[05:05] ---
    When that disappears, she'll stuff more
    in an envelope and put it back.
[05:09] ---
    When I'm the only one home,
    I try to hide it some other place, but...
[05:15] ---
    He... He always manages to find it.
[05:24] ---
    He's coming back today,
    but I don't wanna tell my mom.
[05:29] ---
    That's money we don't have to spare.
[05:40] ---
    Use this one starting today.
    It's the latest model.
[05:47] ---
    You sure?
[05:48] ---
    Don't worry about it. I feel like
    it suits you more than me anyway.
[05:58] ---
    Thank you, Toma.
[06:02] ---
    Bring it in, Rintaro! Come a step closer!
[06:07] ---
    Here goes!
[06:13] ---
    Guys! Come and rehydrate!
[06:15] ---
    Nice! Thanks, Manager!
[06:18] ---
    "Shijo Minami"
[06:18] ---
    Nice! Thanks, Manager!
[06:18] ---
    Man, you sure think of everything.
[06:21] ---
    It's been such a big help
    having you around, Asuka.
[06:23] ---
    It's been such a big help
    having you around, Asuka.
[06:25] ---
    I'm really glad if you mean that.
[06:28] ---
    --Here.
    --Thank you.
[06:30] ---
    I hear the boys' club is having
    a practice match against Misaki.
[06:35] ---
    You've got sharp ears, Mrs. Murou.
[06:38] ---
    It feels like the boys have
    started to change a bit recently.
[06:42] ---
    And you, too.
[06:43] ---
    I'm the same me as always.
[06:45] ---
    Adults don't grow, you know.
[06:48] ---
    Is that right?
[06:51] ---
    Shit, my shoulder hurts.
[06:54] ---
    You guys seem awfully active lately.
[06:57] ---
    The track club?
[06:58] ---
    We really haven't changed.
[07:00] ---
    People are saying you're
    desperate to not get disbanded.
[07:04] ---
    Still, winning a match
    is impossible for all you!
[07:07] ---
    See? 'Cuz you don't got this!
[07:10] ---
    Huh? Come on, look at this! Aren't you--
[07:13] ---
    Cut it out. Our manager is sensitive.
[07:16] ---
    That's right. He's bad at
    dealing with rude brutes like you.
[07:21] ---
    Hey!
[07:21] ---
    --Ow, ow, ow, ow!
    --You're disgusting, so hide all that.
[07:24] ---
    I'm sorry!
[07:26] ---
    By the way, why did Maki and Toma leave early?
[07:29] ---
    They never said why.
[07:31] ---
    Aren't they just researching
    new training methods or something?
[07:35] ---
    Makes sense. I'm sure
    Makimaki has lots of ideas.
[07:39] ---
    Makimaki?
[07:40] ---
    What a weird nickname.
[07:46] ---
    It's okay. I don't want your money to go to him.
[07:48] ---
    "Everyday Bank"
[07:48] ---
    Think of this as an
    advance payment for our deal.
[07:51] ---
    Think of this as an
    advance payment for our deal.
[07:52] ---
    But...
[07:53] ---
    I've got other money. Don't worry.
[08:48] ---
    Maki!
[08:53] ---
    You're here, aren't you?
[08:59] ---
    Ah, Maki...
[09:03] ---
    Huh?
[09:17] ---
    Maki is my precious doubles partner.
[09:19] ---
    Don't torment him anymore!
[09:25] ---
    What a great friend you found.
    Good for you, Maki.
[09:31] ---
    You are not his father.
[09:34] ---
    You look smart, but I guess you don't know.
[09:38] ---
    We divorced, but I'm still
    his father according to the law.
[09:42] ---
    So no matter where they move,
    if I go to the office,
[09:45] ---
    they'll tell me exactly where my son lives.
[09:48] ---
    Because I'm his father.
[09:51] ---
    It's our father and son bond. Right, Maki?
[09:55] ---
    I said stop tormenting Maki!
[09:57] ---
    Why would I do anything to
    torment him? Not me, his father.
[10:02] ---
    If you keep on tormenting Maki, I...
[10:06] ---
    I'll kill you!
[10:09] ---
    Yeah? You're really scaring me.
[10:12] ---
    I'm still just a minor. I'll get a light
    punishment if I kill you. Besides,
[10:16] ---
    getting rid of trash like you
    would be doing the world a favor!
[10:31] ---
    You... are... so... dumb.
[10:35] ---
    What if before you kill me...
[10:39] ---
    ...I killed you first?
[10:44] ---
    If you do anything to Toma, I...
[10:47] ---
    I'll kill you!
[10:52] ---
    Aww, and you used to be such a cute son.
[10:56] ---
    By the way, what's your name?
[10:59] ---
    Shinjo.
[11:00] ---
    That's your last name. What's your first name?
[11:04] ---
    It's Toma!
[11:05] ---
    What a nice name. Your parents
    must be such incredibly kind people.
[11:12] ---
    I'll remember this, Toma.
[11:16] ---
    Later, Maki.
[11:29] ---
    Thank you, Toma.
[11:32] ---
    You're my partner, right?
[11:34] ---
    Of course I wanna help you.
[11:37] ---
    That's what a partner does.
[11:41] ---
    Thank you, Toma.
[11:47] ---
    Thank you.
[11:57] ---
    "A few days earlier..."
[12:00] ---
    Kinuyo, is school going well for you?
SIGN    "Kasuga Estate"
    "Home of Kinuyo Kasuga, Shijo Minami
    Middle School's Student Council President"
[12:00] ---
    Kinuyo, is school going well for you?
[12:03] ---
    Yes, it's all right.
[12:06] ---
    "Kinuyo's Grandmother"
    "Haruhi Kasuga"
[12:07] ---
    After all, it's a school that Ryouka decided on.
[12:10] ---
    After all, it's a school that Ryouka decided on.
[12:11] ---
    "Kinuyo Kasuga"
[12:11] ---
    It must be such a curious and
    interesting experience for you.
[12:19] ---
    "Kinuyo's Mother"
    "Ryouka Kasuga"
[12:22] ---
    Kinuyo, I'll see you tomorrow.
[12:25] ---
    Okay.
[12:34] ---
    Isn't school so much fun, Ruriha?
[12:38] ---
    When my grandmother isn't around,
    my mother refers to me as Ruriha.
[12:46] ---
    The name Kinuyo was chosen by
    my grandmother all on her own...
[12:51] ---
    ...and my mom hates it.
[12:53] ---
    Yes. It's been very helpful in
    expanding my everyday knowledge.
[12:58] ---
    I knew it.
[12:59] ---
    It's good to understand the lives of the
    townspeople who work for your father.
[13:07] ---
    To be honest, I wanted to go to an
    affiliate school of a certain girls' college.
[13:12] ---
    But my mother forced me to
    enroll into my current one.
[13:17] ---
    My mother and grandmother
    had a terrible argument over it.
[13:20] ---
    It's better for her here!
[13:22] ---
    Don't force her to live with your foul tastes!
[13:25] ---
    Your way of thinking is outdated!
[13:27] ---
    --It's ancient!
    --I just don't want her to grow up
    to be a nincompoop like you!
[13:28] ---
    --I just don't want her to grow up
    to be a nincompoop like you!
[13:44] ---
    But, my real name is actually...
[13:47] ---
    ...Kaori.
[13:50] ---
    So cute.
[14:05] ---
    --'Sup!
    --Good morning. Isn't my hair just awful?
[14:06] ---
    --Cut it out.
    --Good morning. Isn't my hair just awful?
[14:07] ---
    It's fine.
[14:08] ---
    Are you sure?
[14:10] ---
    Why did you leave yesterday?
[14:12] ---
    For some astronomy.
[14:14] ---
    Huh? It was raining last night.
[14:16] ---
    Oh? Was it?
[14:23] ---
    Morning, Shinjo.
[14:25] ---
    Morning, Yuta.
[14:27] ---
    Did you do yesterday's English homework?
[14:29] ---
    Yeah, I'm all done.
[14:31] ---
    Something happen with Shinjo?
[14:33] ---
    We had a fistfight.
[14:34] ---
    You liar.
[14:35] ---
    "Class 2-D"
[14:35] ---
    We substitute equation two,
    "y=3x-1," into equation one like this.
[14:38] ---
    We substitute equation two,
    "y=3x-1," into equation one like this.
SIGN    "For the first game, take position in the center
    and be on guard for balls towards the side.
    When you see one coming, be ready
    to leave center to get ahead of it."
[14:40] ---
    We substitute equation two,
    "y=3x-1," into equation one like this.
[14:41] ---
    When you're doing that,
    remember to use parenthesis.
[14:43] ---
    When you're doing that,
    remember to use parenthesis.
[14:46] ---
    Let's see...
[14:49] ---
    Rintaro Futsu. Can you come solve this?
[14:53] ---
    O-Okay.
[15:16] ---
    And that's why I can't say anything to him.
[15:20] ---
    We're short on time,
    so I wanna power up our practice.
[15:23] ---
    We really should! That's why I--
[15:25] ---
    Maki put together this schedule. Wanna see?
[15:28] ---
    Huh?
[15:29] ---
    He did a great job. I think we should try it.
[15:34] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:35] ---
    I haven't been useful at all.
[15:37] ---
    Huh? With what?
[15:39] ---
    I'm the vice president of the
    soft tennis club in name only.
[15:43] ---
    Why are you bringing this up
    after all this time?
[15:46] ---
    Yeah, after all this time.
[15:48] ---
    I finally understood after Katsuragi joined.
[15:52] ---
    Our club was only that bad
    because I'm the vice president.
[15:56] ---
    If only I had realized it sooner.
[16:01] ---
    I'm done with being vice president.
[16:03] ---
    Rintaro...
[16:06] ---
    I'm a failure in everything that I do.
[16:09] ---
    I can't live up to my parents'
    expectations. I'm a failure.
[16:14] ---
    Why would you think that?
[16:16] ---
    I've known you and your parents
    since elementary school.
[16:19] ---
    If anything, they always brag about
    how proud you make them.
[16:22] ---
    But you're wrong, Shinjo!
[16:24] ---
    If my mom and dad were
    actually my real parents,
[16:28] ---
    they wouldn't have given birth
    to a failure like me.
[16:33] ---
    Huh? What are you saying?
[16:40] ---
    The two that you know aren't my real parents.
[16:43] ---
    They took me in right after I was born.
[16:46] ---
    I'm adopted.
[16:48] ---
    What?
[16:50] ---
    My biological mother was
    too young... and not married.
[16:54] ---
    She couldn't raise a child.
[16:57] ---
    So instead, she gave me up for adoption.
[17:02] ---
    They took a stray dog like me...
[17:05] ---
    ...and my parents, they...
[17:09] ---
    They were kind to me like I was their own son.
[17:13] ---
    They cherished me, and I...
[17:15] ---
    I truly thought they were
    my real parents until fifth grade.
[17:20] ---
    But they said due to adoption laws,
    they had to tell me about my birth.
[17:27] ---
    Mom and Dad both cried.
[17:29] ---
    That's when I knew. That's when I realized it.
[17:34] ---
    I wasn't born because they
    wanted me. I was just a burden.
[17:39] ---
    That's why I've tried to push myself
    harder than anyone, but...
[17:44] ---
    ...I'm still a failure.
[17:45] ---
    That's bullshit!
[17:47] ---
    Huh?
[17:48] ---
    Who's a burden? Who decided that?
[17:51] ---
    The mom and dad you have right now
    love you more than anything!
[17:55] ---
    Enough that I envy you!
[17:57] ---
    What part of that disappoints you?!
[17:59] ---
    Whoever the hell gave birth to you
    doesn't matter one bit!
[18:04] ---
    Sorry.
[18:06] ---
    Don't talk about this to Maki.
[18:09] ---
    Huh?
[18:10] ---
    He'll flip out.
[18:12] ---
    Rintaro!
[18:14] ---
    So this is where you were.
[18:16] ---
    Let's go work on your doubles with Itsuki.
[18:18] ---
    Uh...
[18:21] ---
    Okay, I'm going ahead of you guys.
[18:28] ---
    Something happen?
[18:29] ---
    No, not really.
[18:31] ---
    Yeah?
[18:32] ---
    We need to work on our doubles some, too.
[18:36] ---
    I thought of something new to try.
[18:46] ---
    Actually, something happened.
[18:48] ---
    Yeah?
[18:50] ---
    I'll have to tell you later.
[18:52] ---
    All right.
[18:53] ---
    By the way, do you think I should
    try out a cut for my second serve?
[18:59] ---
    It's best if you don't.
[19:00] ---
    Huh? Really?
[19:02] ---
    Yeah. You look goofy doing it.
[19:04] ---
    You say that with such confidence.
[19:10] ---
    Toma, it's best if you don't laugh like that.
[19:31] ---
    Futsu is really pushing himself today.
[19:33] ---
    Is he? Not that I would know.
[19:37] ---
    You're always watching
    Katsuragi and nobody else.
[19:40] ---
    That's right! I wanna see him fall over
    and get a face full of tears.
[19:45] ---
    Fall over! Fall over! Fall over!
[19:48] ---
    Whoa!
[19:49] ---
    Yeah!
[19:52] ---
    Tomorrow's practice match with
    Misaki Academy will be at their tennis courts.
[19:57] ---
    Don't come here by mistake.
[19:59] ---
    We'll meet up at Misaki Station
    and walk the rest together.
[20:03] ---
    Listen up, guys! Tomorrow's the day
    we see the fruits of our labors!
[20:07] ---
    Believe in us! We can do it!
[20:09] ---
    Yeah!
[20:11] ---
    Mitsue, will you be coming tomorrow?
[20:14] ---
    "Shijo Minami"
[20:14] ---
    Why would I waste my Sunday just to go
    watch the soft tennis club practice?
[20:21] ---
    Uh, you're right. Sorry.
[20:24] ---
    I'm not that bored, thank you very much.
[20:29] ---
    Um, is that everyone? We're all here?
[20:32] ---
    Yeah, that's everyone!
[20:33] ---
    Great. Then, shall we go? Uh...
[20:36] ---
    --Hey, Shinjo!
    --What?
[20:38] ---
    You're going the wrong way!
    Misaki Academy's that way!
[20:42] ---
    Flustered much?
[20:43] ---
    Shut up.
[20:54] ---
    Mitsue, you came!
[20:56] ---
    Yeah, well, so what?
[20:58] ---
    Where's their tennis court?
[20:59] ---
    The courts are this way.
    They're separate from the school grounds.
[21:04] ---
    Dang, champions are something else.

    Those are some beautiful courts.
[21:12] ---
    They've sure got a lot of members.
[21:14] ---
    They've got four whole courts?
[21:16] ---
    I hear their alumni donate a ton.
[21:19] ---
    Looks like they spend a ton, too.
[21:21] ---
    Champions schools are amazing.
[21:23] ---
    Hey, come on! You're all sounding pathetic!
[21:26] ---
    It's just a practice match, so--
[21:28] ---
    Ever since finding that sky
    we've yearned to soar through
[21:28] ---
    Listen up, guys! This match means everything!
[21:31] ---
    It's do or die!
[21:33] ---
    Let's crush 'em with everything we've got!
[21:37] ---
    Our hearts have been drawn to the future
[21:40] ---
    Hot damn. He's more anxious than anyone.
[21:43] ---
    It sure seems like it.
[21:49] ---
    The image grows with each hope and fear
[21:56] ---
    Tears and smiles come pouring out,
    regardless of emotion
[22:01] ---
    It's almost dizzying
[22:02] ---
    Makes us wanna break the cage
    of this confined, empty life and run away
[22:10] ---
    Ever since the wings to fly
    unfurled from our backs
[22:20] ---
    Our hearts have faced the future
[22:24] ---
    We wanna soar freely though skies far and wide
[22:34] ---
    Hey, don't keep us locked up
[22:38] ---
    No matter how hard we flap our wings
[22:42] ---
    We can't reach like this
[22:45] ---
    When we're inside a cage
[22:56] ---
    "Misaki Academy"
[22:57] ---
    Thanks for today, Mr. Kadowaki.
[23:00] ---
    Likewise. It's a pleasure, Mr. Sakurai.
[23:01] ---
    Likewise. It's a pleasure, Mr. Sakurai.
[23:04] ---
    I heard they're only playing second years today.
[23:06] ---
    So we won't play their third year regulars?
[23:09] ---
    We're jokes to them!
[23:10] ---
    We're just second years, too, though.
[23:12] ---
    But you know some of their
    second years are regulars, too.
[23:16] ---
    I bet they're all good.
[23:17] ---
    Move it! Move it!
[23:36] ---
    You guys look so weak.
[23:40] ---
    There's nothing I hate more than
    playing against weak players.
[23:44] ---
    It bores me.
[23:46] ---
    But, since Coach Kado says I have to,
    I'll see you on the court.
[23:51] ---
    So the least you could do
    is try to put up a fight.
[23:56] ---
    Don't, and you get a farewell gift.
    I'll give each of you...
[24:01] ---
    ...a punch from me.
[24:03] ---

    "Argh, dammit!"
