Championship Series
**[00:31] Riku**
Bro!
**[00:45] Riku**
Nice one!
**[00:48] Reo**
You did good, too.
**[00:50] Riku**
One day, we'll get to play
in the Rugby World Cup.

**[02:35] Teacher**
So this here is an example of
an ancient Egyptian pictograph.
**[02:40] Teacher**
They were fundamental in the development
of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
**[02:45] Teacher**
And the script they used
for religious texts was...
***SIGN*** Haruma Riku
**[02:50] Teacher**
Haruma. Haruma Riku!
**[02:54] Teacher**
You weren't listening, were you?
**[02:58] Riku**
Hieroglyphics, hieratic script,
and demotic script.
**[03:04] Riku**
They were fundamental in the development
of the ancient Egyptian civilization,
**[03:08] Riku**
which went on to be known for creating
a solar calendar and building the pyramids.
**[03:13] Riku**
During the Napoleonic campaigns,
**[03:15] Riku**
these three scripts were
discovered on the Rosetta Stone—
**[03:19] Teacher**
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
**[03:22] Teacher**
That will do.
**[03:26] Student**
Where'd that come from?
**[03:27] Student**
He wasn't even paying attention.
**[03:29] Student**
Geniuses are freaky.
**[03:36] Teacher**
What is it, Haruma?
**[03:40] Riku**
I think you should be quizzing him instead.
**[03:50] Teacher**
Kariya Akira? He's a lost cause.
**[04:09] RUGBY**
Akira! Go!
**[04:57] Akira**
What is it? You want something?
**[05:00] Riku**
No, I just...
**[05:07] Akira**
Okay, then. Later.
**[05:22] Akira**
If you've got nothing to say, I'm off.
**[05:27] Riku**
Just one thing.
**[05:32] Riku**
When you run, you should
lower your center of gravity.
**[05:35] Akira**
Center of gravity?
**[05:38] Riku**
I mean, you should bend your knees more.
**[05:41] Riku**
If you deliberately lower
your center of gravity,
**[05:43] Riku**
you can change direction quicker,
**[05:46] Riku**
making it easier to dodge your opponents.
**[05:54] Akira**
Got it. Thanks.
**[06:03] Akira**
Center of gravity.
**[06:29] Akira**
Hey.
**[06:31] Akira**
We're in the same class, huh?
***SIGN*** Kariya Akira
**[06:38] Riku**
It's been a whole month since school started,
**[06:41] Riku**
and you still couldn't
recognize me, Kariya Akira?
**[06:44] Akira**
Don't rub it in. I'm terrible
at remembering stuff.
**[06:47] Riku**
So, do you want something?
**[06:50] Akira**
Yeah, I wanted to thank you for yesterday.
**[06:52] Riku**
Thank me?
**[06:54] Akira**
That single suggestion you made changed
my whole running motion. You're amazing.
**[06:59] Riku**
It was nothing.
**[07:01] Akira**
Then, can I pick your brain some more?
**[07:04] Riku**
Excuse me?
**[07:05] Akira**
You've got more ideas in
that noggin of yours, don't you?
**[07:11] Akira**
I knew it.
**[07:14] Akira**
Your techniques...
**[07:16] Akira**
I want 'em.
**[07:18] Riku**
Why me? There are plenty of others
who can coach you.
**[07:22] Akira**
Call it a hunch.
**[07:25] Akira**
And my hunches are never wrong.
**[07:27] Akira**
There's no doubt in my mind.
I need a guy like you in my corner.
**[07:34] Riku**
I refuse.
**[07:39] Riku**
I'm done with rugby.
**[07:42] Akira**
Hey! Wait a sec!
**[07:47] Akira**
Wait!
***SIGN*** The Next Day
**[07:59] Riku**
I thought I told you no yesterday.
**[08:01] Akira**
Yeah, but I need you, man.
**[08:03] Akira**
I need your techniques.
I'm completely self-taught, you see.
**[08:08] Riku**
Self-taught?
**[08:10] Akira**
Well? What do you say to a quick confab?
**[08:13] Riku**
I said no.
**[08:15] Akira**
I won't give up!
***SIGN*** The Next Day
**[08:22] Akira**
Hey.
**[08:24] Akira**
Hey, wait!
**[08:58] Riku**
Hey...
**[09:01] Riku**
Why are you so insistent that I help you?
**[09:08] Akira**
There's this guy I really want to beat.
**[09:11] Akira**
Right now, I can't even play against him.
**[09:16] Riku**
What does that mean?
**[09:19] Akira**
Even if I could, I'm not good enough yet.
**[09:24] Akira**
But I *will* beat him.
And I need your help with that.
**[09:40] Riku**
Fine, just this once.
**[09:44] Akira**
All right!
**[09:50] Akira**
See you on the field after class.
**[09:52] Akira**
I'll be waiting!
**[09:56] Riku**
I may have made a huge mistake.
**[10:18] RUGBY**
When's he gonna get here?
**[10:20] Akira**
Chill out, bro. He'll be here soon.
**[10:27] Akira**
Riku!
**[10:33] RUGBY**
Hey, Akira... *This* is the guy
you were talking about?
**[10:37] Akira**
That's right. He's a thousand times
better than you guys.
**[10:42] Riku**
Hey! What are you saying?!
**[10:45] Akira**
You cookie-cutter chumps
can't hold a candle to him.
**[10:49] RUGBY**
What?
**[10:50] Akira**
If Riku and I teamed up,
we'd absolutely steamroll you.
**[10:54] Akira**
Right?
**[10:56] Riku**
Don't look at *me*!
**[10:58] Akira**
What? You're not gonna play along?
**[11:01] Riku**
No, I am not!
What do you mean, "team up"?
**[11:04] Akira**
The two of us are going
to take 'em all on at once.
**[11:09] Riku**
I only agreed to give you advice.
My playing days are over.
**[11:16] RUGBY**
What's this? He doesn't even play?
**[11:19] RUGBY**
Being a ball boy's probably
all he's good for with his body.
**[11:23] RUGBY**
He'd be dead weight on the field of play.
**[11:26] RUGBY**
Rugby is for beefcakes like us.
Quitting was the best choice.
**[11:34] Akira**
That's enough!
**[11:38] Akira**
You...
**[11:43] Riku**
It's fine.
**[11:45] Riku**
I'm not so meek that
I'll take their jibes lying down.
**[11:52] Riku**
I'll prove to you all
**[11:55] Riku**
that I'm better than you.
**[12:09] Horyu**
Two against seven is crazy.
***SIGN*** Horyu Tomomi
**[12:14] Horyu**
Rugby is—
**[12:15] Riku**
It's about creating an overload.
**[12:19] Riku**
It's a tactical sport.
**[12:21] Horyu**
Y-Yeah, exactly.
**[12:24] Horyu**
Just being one man short is a real handicap,
and you have less than a third.
**[12:28] Horyu**
Attempting to score a try would be like
scaling a castle wall with no equipment.
**[12:36] Riku**
Sounds perfect.
**[12:37] Horyu**
What?
**[12:39] Riku**
Scoring a try under these conditions
will prove my strength.
**[12:42] Akira**
You heard the guy.
**[12:48] Horyu**
Okay, let's begin!
**[13:01] Rando**
Tori, something's going on over there.
**[13:08] RUGBY**
It's over for you already!
**[13:33] Horyu**
A short punt?
**[13:37] Riku**
If you can't scale a wall, fly over it.
**[13:43] RUGBY**
Akira's going after it?
**[13:44] RUGBY**
That's impossible!
**[13:46] Riku**
I knew he would.
**[13:49] Riku**
I could tell he was starving for the ball.
**[13:53] Riku**
I knew he would react if I kicked it.
**[14:01] Riku**
I saw...
**[14:04] Riku**
the future!
**[14:06] RUGBY**
Stop him!
**[14:10] Riku**
That's four of them out of the game.
**[14:12] Riku**
The rest are up to you.
**[14:14] Horyu**
Incredible!
**[14:18] Riku**
Of course...
**[14:22] Riku**
They don't stand a chance.
**[14:34] Tori**
What are you guys doing?!
**[14:41] RUGBY**
Captain!
**[14:41] LEFT**
Oguma Keita
**[14:41] CENTER**
Fuyuhara Tori
**[14:41] RIGHT**
Rando Soya
**[14:49] Tori**
When did I say you could
play a practice match?!
**[14:54] Oguma**
He doesn't need to get so angry.
**[14:56] Rando**
They can't just go changing
the practice schedule.
**[15:00] Tori**
Hold up! Answer me!
**[15:04] Riku**
It's my fault.
**[15:06] Tori**
What?
**[15:09] Riku**
Allow me to explain.
**[15:11] Akira**
Riku.
**[15:13] Tori**
A non-member?
**[15:25] Riku**
And that's what happened.
**[15:29] Tori**
I understand the situation.
**[15:33] Tori**
Let me apologize on behalf
of the rugby team.
**[15:36] Tori**
We're very sorry.
**[15:37] Riku**
Oh, no, it's fine.
**[15:39] Tori**
I'll give them a dressing down.
**[15:42] Rando**
Haruma, have you been playing rugby long?
**[15:45] Riku**
I only played for a little bit.
**[15:49] Tori**
That was a pretty clean kick for
someone who hasn't played much.
**[15:57] Tori**
Did you quit rugby because of your build?
**[16:03] Tori**
But you're so good...
**[16:10] Riku**
It's all in the past now.
**[16:12] Riku**
If you'll excuse me.
***SIGN*** The Next Day
**[16:23] Akira**
Riku.
**[16:24] Akira**
Join the rugby team.
**[16:27] Riku**
Don't ask me again.
**[16:29] Riku**
I already told you I quit.
**[16:32] Akira**
And I heard you.
**[16:34] Akira**
But join the team anyway.
**[16:35] Riku**
Why, you...
**[16:42] Akira**
You can still fight. No, you *want* to fight.
**[16:48] Akira**
You're suppressing your burning desire.
**[16:49] Akira**
You're just forcing yourself
to pretend you've given up.
**[16:54] Riku**
You had to go and say it, didn't you?
**[16:57] Riku**
I didn't want to give up!
I didn't want to quit!
**[17:01] Riku**
But no matter how hard I worked or
wished for it, I didn't have the body for it!
**[17:07] Riku**
What else could I do but quit?
**[17:10] Riku**
Rugby was everything to me.
**[17:14] Riku**
I studied it.
**[17:16] Riku**
I learned the techniques.
**[17:18] Riku**
I believed I could become
the best player in the world!
**[17:21] Riku**
But I came face-to-face with reality!
My body refused to grow!
**[17:27] Riku**
That alone prevented me from winning, so I...
**[17:31] Riku**
I gave up on rugby.
**[17:33] Akira**
No, you haven't.
**[17:35] Akira**
You don't really believe that.
**[17:38] Riku**
What do *you* know about it?
You have everything I don't!
**[17:41] Akira**
I do know.
**[17:42] Riku**
What did you say?
**[17:44] Akira**
That play showed me the truth.
**[17:46] Akira**
If you'd really given up, you wouldn't
have been able to fight like that.
**[17:50] Riku**
I...
**[17:52] Akira**
Your pride remains undimmed!
**[17:55] Riku**
You... Is that why you...
**[17:59] Akira**
Fight.
**[18:00] Akira**
Only then will you find your own path.
**[18:04] Akira**
Besides...
**[18:06] Akira**
I need you in my corner.
**[18:19] Riku**
You'll have to help me.
**[18:22] Riku**
I need you, too.
**[18:26] Riku**
For someone as small as me
to win, I'll have to use you.
**[18:29] Riku**
Since you're so athletic,
as long as you do what I say—
**[18:33] Akira**
What? No way.
**[18:36] Riku**
Why not? Isn't this what you wanted?
**[18:38] Akira**
You fight how you want to.
But I'll do it my way.
**[18:42] Riku**
Wait, but yesterday—
**[18:44] Akira**
That's not how I like to fight.
**[18:51] Riku**
Fine. I'll join the team.
**[18:53] Riku**
My tactics will outshine your athleticism.
**[18:57] Riku**
More importantly,
**[18:58] Riku**
I will put a collar on you, Kariya Akira!
**[20:54] Riku**
I'm joining the team today.
My name is Haruma Riku.
**[21:07] Riku**
I look forward to playing with you.
**[21:11] Akira**
I can't wait to see where this goes.
**[21:16] Tori**
Do your best.
**[21:20] Riku**
I'll put a collar on you, Kariya Akira!
**[21:24] Akira**
Those spiky ones are cool.
**[21:26] Riku**
You're not supposed to enjoy it.
**[21:27] Akira**
But it'd get in the way while playing.
**[21:30] Riku**
It'd dig in if you slumped over your desk.
Maybe that'd keep you awake.
**[21:33] Akira**
I was joking. I obviously
wouldn't actually wear one.
**[21:37] Riku**
I was just playing along.
**[21:39] Akira**
That's the spirit. Bring that
teamwork onto the field.
**[21:42] Riku**
Yeah.
**[21:43] Both**
Next time: "Athleticism and Tactics!"

Rugby Lesson!
**[21:54] Riku**
Former international, Ohata Daisuke-sensei,
**[21:57] Riku**
will be teaching us how to enjoy rugby.
***SIGN*** Ohata
Daisuke
**[22:00] Ohata**
Hello.
**[22:01] Riku**
People say the rules of
rugby are complicated...
**[22:04] Akira**
...but you only need to know
a few key things to enjoy the game.
**[22:07] Ohata**
Let's enjoy rugby together.
**[22:10] Ohata**
Naturally, our first lesson is
on the subject of this word...
***SIGN*** Try
**[22:14] Riku**
"Try," huh?
**[22:16] Ohata**
In rugby, players attempt to score tries.
**[22:19] Ohata**
Carrying the ball into this
part of the opponent's half
**[22:24] Ohata**
and grounding it is how you score a try.
***SIGN*** Try
***SIGN*** Try
**[22:28] Riku**
A try is worth five points.
**[22:30] Ohata**
The crowd goes wild when a try is scored.
**[22:34] Akira**
The exhilarating feeling
of sprinting across the field
**[22:37] Akira**
is almost too much to bear.
**[22:38] Riku**
I'm sure plenty of stunning tries
**[22:41] Riku**
will be scored at this year's
Rugby World Cup.
**[22:44] Ohata**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[22:46] Riku**
Let this year be the Year of Rugby. Let's try!

Yo. I've been waiting for you.
**[02:20] Riku**
I still need to put a collar on you.
**[02:23] Akira**
I look forward to teaming up.
**[02:25] Riku**
Yeah, ditto.
**[02:33] Riku**
Wait, Akira! Why did you charge through them?
**[02:37] Akira**
Huh? Did I do something wrong?
**[02:41] Riku**
We had an overload.
Passing was the better option.
**[02:44] Akira**
What? There was an opening, so I went for it.
**[02:48] Riku**
You have to think ahead!
Tactics aren't optional!
**[02:53] Horyu**
Now, now, you two...
**[02:55] Tori**
Man, talk about a pair of idiots...
**[02:58] Oguma**
Well, it's good that
they've got so much energy.
**[03:01] Rando**
Nah, too much is a bad thing.
**[03:03] Tori**
You said it.
**[03:07] Shotani**
Cut it out, you two.
**[03:10] Shotani**
How can you have fun
if you're fighting all the time?
**[03:14] Riku**
Who are you?
**[03:15] Shotani**
Oh, right. I didn't introduce myself
to you, did I, Rikkun?
**[03:19] Riku**
"Rikkun"?
**[03:21] Shotani**
I'm Shotani Pears Valentine.
**[03:24] Shotani**
My motto is: "Enjoy and excite."
***SIGN*** Shotani Pears
Valentine
**[03:27] Shotani**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:29] Riku**
Nice... to meet you.
**[03:33] Shotani**
Right back at ya.
**[03:34] Shotani**
Anyway, what are you guys fighting about?
**[03:38] Akira**
Hey, *he's* the one who attacked *me*.
**[03:41] Riku**
Because you treat tactics
like an afterthought!
**[03:45] Akira**
There was an opening.
**[03:47] Riku**
You can't just charge
every time you see an opening.
**[03:49] Riku**
You have to use your head!
**[03:51] Shotani**
Now, now, you two...
**[03:54] Shotani**
But, when you're as athletic as Akkun,
surely tactics aren't important?
**[04:02] Shotani**
In fact, he got the better
of their defense all by himself.
**[04:05] Shotani**
I think he should just play
the way he wants to play.
**[04:09] Riku**
You're wrong.
Athleticism alone can't win a rugby game.
**[04:15] Shotani**
Hmm, maybe that's true, but I mean,
*I've* never beaten Akkun in a one-on-one.
**[04:22] Akira**
It'll be years before you beat me.
**[04:26] Shotani**
I'd like to beat you at least once, though.
**[04:29] Akira**
I'm surprised you haven't got tired of trying.
**[04:31] Shotani**
Yeah, well... I enjoy
taking you on in a one-on-one.
**[04:35] Akira**
You wanna try and beat me again today?
**[04:38] Shotani**
Yeah, of course.
**[04:44] Horyu**
Apparently, Shotani-san joined the rugby team
because Akira-san piqued his interest.
**[04:49] Riku**
Really?
**[04:51] Horyu**
Yeah. He'd provisionally joined
some other sports teams, too.
**[04:56] Horyu**
He doesn't have much rugby experience yet,
**[04:58] Horyu**
but his physicality is incredible.
**[05:01] Riku**
Yeah?
**[05:03] Tori**
Just one go, guys.
**[05:06] Shotani**
Okay.
**[05:09] Akira**
Bring it.
**[05:11] Shotani**
Here I come.
**[05:15] Riku**
They're charging head-on?
**[05:36] Shotani**
Dammit.
**[05:37] Shotani**
I've been beaten again.
**[05:41] Akira**
Hey, you're getting pretty good.
**[05:45] Club**
Akira again, huh?
**[05:47] Club**
That tackle by Shotani was a good idea...
**[05:50] Riku**
I see now.
**[06:02] Horyu**
Riku-san, you got something on your mind?
**[06:06] Riku**
Hmm, yeah.
**[06:08] Riku**
I'm thinking about Akira...
**[06:11] Horyu**
His one-on-one with Shotani-san today?
**[06:14] Riku**
There's that, too, but he won't listen to me.
**[06:18] Riku**
It's a real problem.
**[06:20] Horyu**
Akira-san tends to rely on his instincts.
**[06:25] Riku**
That might be working for him right now,
**[06:28] Riku**
but it won't when he faces tougher opposition.
**[06:32] Horyu**
M-Maybe you're right there.
**[06:36] Riku**
If he thought a bit more tactically,
he would've won at a canter.
**[06:40] Riku**
He doesn't watch his opponents'
movements. He's too reckless.
**[06:44] Horyu**
Shotani-san was amazing, too.
**[06:46] Horyu**
I thought he had him for a moment there.
**[06:49] Riku**
You're right. Hard to believe
he only just started playing.
**[06:52] Horyu**
He seems almost as athletic as Akira-san.
**[06:58] Riku**
But, like Akira, he doesn't understand
the importance of tactics.
**[07:03] Riku**
He's the type to act without thinking.
**[07:06] Horyu**
You're right. Shotani-san and Akira-san
are alike in more ways than one.
**[07:14] Shotani**
But I don't stand a chance against Akkun.
**[07:16] Shotani**
After all, he used to live up in the mountains.
**[07:18] Horyu**
What? The mountains?
**[07:21] Shotani**
Yeah. Apparently, he was raised
by his grandfather who was a hunter.
**[07:27] Horyu**
A hunter? What's that got to do with anything?
**[07:30] Horyu**
Wait, Shotani-san? When did you get here?
**[07:33] Shotani**
What were you saying about me and Akkun?
**[07:36] Riku**
Don't eat my food.
**[07:38] Shotani**
You won't miss one. So, what's up?
**[07:44] Riku**
We were discussing how to get you and Akira
to understand the importance of tactics.
**[07:50] Shotani**
Oh, that. That's what you and Akkun
were fighting about this morning, right?
**[07:56] Riku**
Right.
**[07:59] Shotani**
Well, I'm sure tactics *are* important,
**[08:03] Shotani**
but don't the more athletic players
usually come out on top in rugby?
**[08:08] Riku**
It's true that athleticism
is important in rugby.
**[08:13] Riku**
But tactics can trump athleticism.
That's what I believe.
**[08:20] Riku**
You don't agree?
**[08:22] Shotani**
I just can't see how that'd work.
**[08:26] Shotani**
I've played a lot of sports in the past,
and honestly, no one can touch me usually.
**[08:35] Shotani**
But when I provisionally
joined the rugby team,
**[08:39] Shotani**
I bumped into Akkun.
**[08:42] Shotani**
The first time I saw him, I knew immediately.
**[08:45] Shotani**
I knew he was different.
**[08:47] Horyu**
I thought the same thing.
**[08:50] Horyu**
Akira-san has an incredible aura.
**[08:52] Shotani**
Yeah, man, you get it.
**[08:55] Horyu**
Hey! Don't eat my food.
**[08:57] Shotani**
You won't miss one.
**[09:00] Shotani**
I face him in a one-on-one
every day, but I never win.
**[09:06] Shotani**
It's the first time I've been in awe
of someone else's sporting prowess.
**[09:10] Riku**
I see. So that's your reason
for joining the rugby team.
**[09:15] Shotani**
Yeah. And that's why it's so hard
to picture Akkun losing.
**[09:19] Horyu**
Makes sense.
**[09:21] Riku**
That's why he needs to understand
the importance of tactics.
**[09:26] Riku**
And so do you, Shotani.
**[09:31] Shotani**
Well, something to look forward to, then.
**[09:34] Shotani**
See you later, Rikkun, Tomo-chan.
**[09:38] Horyu**
He doesn't have a care in the world.
He does everything his way.
**[09:50] Horyu**
Everyone's really getting into it.
**[09:53] Tori**
Give it all you've got!
**[09:55] Tori**
They say we're in the Big Three,
so look the part!
**[09:58] All**
Yes, sir!
**[10:00] Riku**
"Big Three"?
**[10:02] Horyu**
You just joined,
so that'll mean nothing to you.
**[10:06] Horyu**
The current district champions
are Sekirei Academy.
***SIGN*** Sekirei
**[10:08] Horyu**
Then, there are two teams hot on their tail:
us and Shikuniyama Academy.
**[10:11] RIGHT**
Soran
**[10:11] LEFT**
Shikuniyama
**[10:13] Horyu**
These three schools are collectively
known as the Big Three.
**[10:18] Riku**
I see.
**[10:19] Horyu**
Of course, the champions are
head and shoulders above us.
**[10:25] Riku**
Sekirei, huh?
**[10:27] Horyu**
Is something wrong, Riku-san?
**[10:31] Riku**
Oh, no, it's nothing.
**[10:35] Riku**
Come to think of it,
I don't see the third-years.
**[10:39] Horyu**
Not surprising. I've never
seen them here, either.
**[10:42] Riku**
Really?
**[10:43] Horyu**
Yes. When I ask the upperclassmen why,
they tell me to drop it.
**[10:48] Riku**
I see.
**[10:56] Riku**
How many times do I have to repeat myself?
Tactics aren't optional!
**[10:59] Akira**
Why? Anyone would've gone for that.
**[11:02] Riku**
Passing was clearly the right choice.
**[11:05] Riku**
What if you drop the ball while
charging through their line?
**[11:09] Akira**
I'm not gonna drop the ball.
**[11:11] Riku**
I'm telling you it's a real possibility!
**[11:13] Akira**
A real possibility?!
**[11:14] Horyu**
Now, now, you two...
**[11:17] Shotani**
Let's all try to get along. Arguing's no fun.
**[11:20] Rando**
It's started again.
**[11:22] Oguma**
It's every day now.
**[11:28] Tori**
You two are idiots...
**[11:31] Tori**
That's enough outta both of you!
Or do you *want* to feel my fist?!
**[11:38] Horyu**
Practice was exhausting again today.
**[11:41] Riku**
I guess so.
**[11:42] Horyu**
W-Well, a bath is the best way
to let the muscles recover.
**[11:47] Riku**
Yeah, you're right.
**[11:49] Tori**
Oh, if it isn't Haruma and Horyu.
**[12:03] Tori**
That's just how it is.
**[12:05] Tori**
You can't get better at rugby without passion.
**[12:09] Shotani**
You always get so fired up, Akarin-senpai.
**[12:13] Shotani**
You should relax and just enjoy the game.
**[12:15] Tori**
My name isn't Akari, it's Tori!
**[12:17] Shotani**
If I'm going to play this sport,
I want to have fun doing it.
**[12:22] Rando**
But that's not enough to get better.
**[12:24] Rando**
Sometimes, you have to take it seriously.
**[12:27] Oguma**
Well, both are important.
**[12:30] Akira**
I don't care either way.
**[12:33] Akira**
I just want to get stronger.
**[12:35] Horyu**
That's you all over, Akira-san.
**[12:37] Tori**
These first-years are so cynical.
**[12:40] Tori**
Where's your fighting spirit?
**[12:42] Tori**
You first-years are taking it way too easy.
**[12:45] Tori**
You need to really get your bodies moving.
**[12:49] Tori**
Haruma, where are you going?
**[12:52] Riku**
Huh? I was just getting out.
**[12:54] Tori**
Oh, no, you're not.
You're gonna listen to your seniors.
**[12:57] Riku**
Uh, but...
**[12:58] Tori**
Don't answer back!
**[13:00] Tori**
Haruma and Kariya,
you're always arguing during practice.
**[13:05] Tori**
I'm about ready to strangle you.
**[13:07] Riku**
It's his fault.
**[13:09] Akira**
You're always picking fights with me!
**[13:11] Riku**
It's because you play without thinking!
**[13:14] Akira**
That works for me just fine.
I don't see a problem.
**[13:17] Riku**
There's clearly a problem!
**[13:18] Akira**
No, there isn't.
**[13:19] Riku**
There is.
**[13:19] Akira**
No!
**[13:20] Riku**
Yes!
**[13:20] Akira**
I said there isn't!
**[13:22] Riku**
There is!
**[13:22] Tori**
Shut the hell up!
**[13:30] Horyu**
We just took a bath,
but I feel exhausted again.
**[13:35] Riku**
It's his fault.
**[13:37] Riku**
He doesn't understand
the importance of tactics.
**[13:39] Horyu**
Maybe to Akira-san,
it's all just hot air right now.
**[13:43] Horyu**
I mean, he has trouble understanding
things he hasn't personally experienced.
**[13:48] Horyu**
But you two make an incredible partnership.
**[13:51] Horyu**
I'll do anything I can to help.
**[13:56] Riku**
Personal experience, huh?
**[14:00] Horyu**
Riku-san?
**[14:02] Riku**
Horyu, you only just
started playing rugby, right?
**[14:06] Horyu**
Yes, when I started high school.
**[14:08] Riku**
And in middle school?
**[14:10] Horyu**
I played volleyball.
**[14:15] Riku**
You did say you'd do *anything*, right?
**[14:17] Horyu**
Huh?
**[14:21] Riku**
I need your help, Horyu.
**[14:37] Riku**
Ready? First...
**[14:56] Tori**
Haruma and Kariya are quiet today.
**[14:59] Oguma**
They haven't argued in five days now.
**[15:03] Oguma**
He's been acting strange
the whole time, too.
**[15:08] Rando**
If you ask him, he just says
there's nothing going on.
**[15:11] Rando**
What should we do, Tori?
Haruma's up to something again.
**[15:15] Tori**
Leave them for now.
**[15:18] Tori**
They're not interfering with practice.
**[15:21] Tori**
Besides...
**[15:23] Tori**
I'm interested to see how
he plans to steer Akira.
**[15:27] Rando**
You're going to make him our fly-half?
**[15:31] Tori**
We've gotta fill the position sometime.
**[15:34] Tori**
After all... he's not coming back.
**[15:46] Riku**
Akira, today, you will learn
the importance of tactics.
**[15:50] Riku**
I'm going to beat it into you.
**[15:53] Akira**
I like that look in your eye.
**[15:56] Akira**
So, how are we gonna do this?
**[15:58] Riku**
A one-on-one.
**[16:02] Riku**
If you drop the ball, I win.
**[16:05] Riku**
If you get past, you win.
**[16:07] Riku**
Just like your contest with Shotani.
**[16:09] Akira**
You think you can stop me?
**[16:11] Akira**
You?
**[16:13] Riku**
You won't be facing me.
**[16:15] Riku**
He's your opponent.
**[16:23] Riku**
If Horyu can stop you,
it'll prove tactics are important.
**[16:28] Riku**
Do you accept?
**[16:30] Akira**
Bring it on.
**[16:32] Akira**
I never back down from a challenge.
**[16:40] Shotani**
Are you sure this will work, Rikkun?
**[16:42] Shotani**
Does Tomo-chan even stand a chance?
**[16:44] Riku**
That's why I chose him.
**[16:46] Riku**
If Horyu wins this challenge...
**[16:50] Shotani**
I get it. You're going to show off what a
difference using the right tactics can make.
**[16:56] Riku**
That's exactly what I'm doing.
**[17:02] (Flashback) Horyu**
You want *me* to tackle Akira-san?
There's no way I can stop him...
**[17:06] (Flashback) Riku**
No, you can. Because of who you are.
**[17:10] (Flashback) Horyu**
You really think so?
**[17:11] (Flashback) Riku**
Hear what I have planned first.
Now, listen...
**[17:23] Tori**
He's running straight at him?
**[17:25] Shotani**
I don't think that's going to work.
**[17:29] Akira**
*Nice...*
**[17:34] (Flashback) Riku**
Start by charging toward him.
**[17:36] (Flashback) Riku**
Akira will sidestep at the last second.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Riku**
That's when you grab him.
**[17:41] (Flashback) Horyu**
W-Will it really be that easy?
**[17:44] (Flashback) Riku**
Akira has bad habits.
**[17:46] (Flashback) Riku**
Watch his shoulders.
**[17:48] (Flashback) Riku**
When one of them rises,
it means he's turning in that direction.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Riku**
Once you know which way
he's going, beat him there.
**[17:57] Horyu**
*Right!*
**[18:01] Tori**
He failed.
**[18:02] (Flashback) Riku**
But do it...
**[18:05] (Flashback) Riku**
like you're going for a volleyball.
**[18:09] (Flashback) Riku**
A low tackle from the side.
**[18:12] (Flashback) Riku**
It's the easiest way to knock someone down.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Riku**
If you can land that...
**[18:17] (Flashback) Riku**
you can stop Akira.
**[18:19] Horyu**
* You were right,*
* down to the last detail, Riku-san!*
**[18:23] Akira**
Dammit.
**[18:25] Riku**
That's right. I saw the future.
**[18:50] Club**
W-Wait... Who won?
**[18:53] Club**
He dodged Horyu's tackle, but the ball...
**[18:55] Riku**
I won. Akira let the ball touch the ground.
**[19:00] Akira**
I didn't lose! I didn't drop the ball!
**[19:04] Riku**
I won.
**[19:05] Akira**
No, I won!
**[19:09] Rando**
What did you think of their contest?
**[19:11] Tori**
It was a disaster. After all that,
they're back to arguing.
**[19:16] Rando**
Your words don't match your expression, Tori.
**[19:19] Tori**
I can't help it!
**[19:21] Tori**
It's all going better than I expected.
**[19:23] Tori**
I can't help but smile.
**[19:26] Tori**
Haruma's plan.
**[19:28] Tori**
Horyu's growth.
**[19:29] Tori**
Akira's strength in a duel.
**[19:32] Rando**
So you're making him the fly-half?
**[19:34] Tori**
Temporarily.
**[19:37] Tori**
Now, I'm off to give them a talking to.
**[19:39] Tori**
Do you two want a knuckle sandwich?!
**[19:41] Tori**
It was a tie, you hear? A tie!
**[19:45] Shotani**
I see.
**[19:47] Shotani**
Interesting, Rikkun. I guess
athleticism alone isn't enough.
**[19:51] Shotani**
Rugby is a fascinating sport.
**[19:52] Tori**
You two jokers...
**[19:54] Akira**
What do you want?

**[02:16] Tori**
With them on our team, we can do it.
**[02:22] Tori**
We're going to cement
Soran's place in the Big Three.
**[02:27] Tori**
We'll make the team stronger.
**[02:34] Tori**
Too slow!
**[02:36] Tori**
No resting! Go again!
**[02:39] Tori**
Too weak! That won't bring down anyone!
**[02:48] Tori**
No lying around! Get to your feet!
**[02:51] Tori**
Let's go again!
**[03:02] Horyu**
What's gotten into the captain?
**[03:05] Riku**
Yeah, he's suddenly dialed up
the intensity of our sessions.
**[03:08] Akira**
This is perfect, actually.
Practice has been too relaxed up to now.
**[03:13] Shotani**
But it kinda seems like
Akarin-senpai is forcing it.
**[03:17] Riku**
Forcing it?
More like he's rushing things.
**[03:21] Riku**
He's got tunnel vision right now.
**[03:23] Horyu**
Yeah, you've got a point.
**[03:26] Shotani**
Well, we don't have any third-years.
**[03:29] Shotani**
Maybe he's stepping up practice so that
we stand a chance against other teams.
**[03:33] Riku**
Whatever way you look at it, third-years
have a technical and physical advantage.
**[03:37] Riku**
Since we don't have any,
all we can do is raise our own games.
**[03:41] Horyu**
I wonder why the team has no third-years.
**[03:47] Riku**
We can walk right up to him and ask.
**[03:49] Horyu**
What? The captain won't tell us
even if we ask him to his face.
**[03:53] Riku**
I didn't mean the current captain.
**[03:55] Shotani**
What? Are you saying...
**[03:56] Riku**
We'll ask the previous captain.
**[03:58] Horyu**
Riku-san, do you know him?
**[04:02] Riku**
No. I don't know him personally,
but I looked up his name and class.
**[04:06] Akira**
You're gonna go talk to him?
**[04:23] Oguma**
Do you have a second?
**[04:28] Oguma**
Don't you think you're going overboard?
**[04:30] Tori**
Overboard with what?
**[04:32] Rando**
The practice sessions. Don't you think
you're pushing everyone too hard?
**[04:37] Rando**
I wouldn't be surprised
if people started quitting.
**[04:40] Tori**
I don't plan on giving anyone
who can't keep up an easy ride.
**[04:45] Tori**
We have to go on the offensive.
**[04:47] Tori**
With Haruma and Kariya on the team,
we can become stronger.
**[04:51] Tori**
We can take back what we lost.
**[04:55] Oguma**
You're being too hasty.
**[04:57] Tori**
I haven't got a choice.
**[04:59] Tori**
We don't have time to stand still.
**[05:02] Rando**
We understand how you feel.
**[05:04] Rando**
We all lost the same thing.
**[05:11] Rando**
We have to move forward.
**[05:14] Tori**
The team was entrusted to me.
**[05:18] Tori**
It won't weaken under my watch.
**[05:20] Oguma**
But if you keep this up,
we'll lose *you* too!
**[05:24] Rando**
Yeah. It's pointless trying to
overhaul the team on your own.
**[05:28] Tori**
Then, you guys help me do it.
**[05:31] Tori**
It's not just Haruma and Kariya.
**[05:34] Tori**
There's Horyu and Shotani, too.
All promising rugby players.
**[05:39] Tori**
I can't tend to the needs
of all of them by myself.
**[05:41] Tori**
But...
**[05:43] Tori**
If you help me, we might pull it off.
**[05:51] Rando**
I'll do it. I'll take on that responsibility.
**[05:54] Oguma**
You're totally right.
Let's become stronger together.
**[05:58] Rando**
For now, just do what you think will work.
**[06:01] Rando**
I'll follow your lead, wherever you take us.
**[06:13] Riku**
Hey, Akira...
**[06:18] Akira**
Seiichiro.
**[06:23] Nada**
It's been a while, Akira.
**[06:26] Riku**
Wait... you know Nada-san?
**[06:29] Akira**
Yeah. He got me into playing rugby.
**[06:33] Nada**
We attended the same middle school.
You're on the team, too?
**[06:36] Riku**
Yes. My name's Haruma Riku.
**[06:39] Nada**
I see.
**[06:42] Riku**
Nada Seiichiro-san,
**[06:44] Riku**
you used to captain the rugby team, right?
**[06:46] Nada**
Yeah.
**[06:48] Riku**
Forgive me for asking,
but why did you stop playing?
**[06:52] Nada**
I got injured in a game last winter.
**[06:56] Nada**
I pushed my body too hard against Sekirei.
**[07:01] Nada**
It is what it is. Nothing I can do about it.
**[07:04] Akira**
Your body's healed, hasn't it?
**[07:06] Nada**
I have no problems in my day-to-day life,
but sports are a no-go.
**[07:14] Nada**
Sorry.
**[07:15] Akira**
Aren't you frustrated?
**[07:17] Nada**
I still feel some attachment to the sport,
but that part of my life is over.
**[07:25] Riku**
Nada-san, do you know why
the other third-years quit?
**[07:31] Nada**
Sorry, can't help you.
I don't know what happened to them.
**[07:38] Riku**
Ultimately, Nada-san aside, we're no closer
to finding out why the third-years quit.
**[07:43] Akira**
Man, that Seiichiro... What's his deal?
**[07:47] Riku**
He got injured. I'm sure he hates it, too.
**[07:50] Akira**
No, that's not what I meant.
**[07:53] Akira**
He was just kinda...
**[07:55] Oguma**
Hey, you two.
**[07:59] Riku**
Oguma-san?
**[08:01] Oguma**
I heard you went to see Nada-san.
**[08:07] Oguma**
I figure now's as good a time
as any to tell you everything.
**[08:11] Oguma**
I don't want anyone listening in,
so let's head off campus.
**[08:15] Oguma**
Do you mind tagging along?
**[08:27] Oguma**
As you know, the rugby
team has no third-years.
**[08:32] Riku**
Thank you.
**[08:35] Oguma**
It happened last winter...
**[08:38] Oguma**
After our game with Sekirei.
**[08:42] Oguma**
We were full of hope back then.
**[08:45] Oguma**
Nada-san had just become our new captain.
**[08:48] Oguma**
He was the team's talisman.
**[08:52] Oguma**
He shone like the sun, shooting rays
of hope into everyone's hearts.
**[08:58] Oguma**
At the winter tournament, we played
Sekirei in the semifinals and lost.
**[09:08] Oguma**
But the result wasn't important.
**[09:13] Oguma**
The real issue was Nada-san's injury.
**[09:16] LEFT**
Sekirei
**[09:16] RIGHT**
Soran
**[09:18] Oguma**
We managed to keep pace
with Sekirei in the first half.
**[09:25] Oguma**
We clung on as they attacked, then went
upfield to score. We did that over and over.
**[09:33] Oguma**
We had no idea Nada-san was shouldering
the heavy burden of carrying the team.
**[09:41] Oguma**
Because we were all pushed
beyond our limits, we didn't notice.
**[09:55] Oguma**
I remember it like it was yesterday:
the way Nada-san stopped Sekirei's charge,
**[10:00] Oguma**
and the way the crowd roared when he did it.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Nada**
Now... time for a counterattack.
**[10:29] Oguma**
Nada-san smiled before he collapsed.
**[10:36] Oguma**
It was a crushing defeat.
**[10:38] Oguma**
We could barely carry on after that.
**[10:41] Oguma**
After the game, we were told
Nada-san's injury was serious.
**[10:44] Oguma**
They didn't know if he could
ever come back from it.
**[10:51] Oguma**
The shock of seeing Nada-san
collapsing like that halved our roster.
**[10:56] Oguma**
Everyone in Nada-san's year quit.
**[10:58] Riku**
Why did you stay?
**[11:03] Oguma**
Oh, we stayed...
**[11:06] Oguma**
so that Nada-san had a team to come back to.
**[11:10] Akira**
I don't like it.
**[11:14] Akira**
We're talking about Seiichiro here.
**[11:16] Akira**
He couldn't play because he got injured. Fine.
**[11:20] Akira**
But has he really given up
on rugby without a fight?
**[11:24] Oguma**
He doesn't want anyone to see him suffer.
**[11:27] Oguma**
That's how he is.
**[11:29] Akira**
That's not the Seiichiro I know!
**[11:36] Akira**
He wouldn't let anything, not even
an injury, stop him from fighting.
**[11:43] Akira**
Without a single word of complaint,
**[11:46] Akira**
he did whatever it took
to stand on the field again.
**[11:56] Akira**
That's the kinda guy he was.
**[11:59] Akira**
Not someone who'd smile
while admitting defeat!
**[12:13] Riku**
I understand the situation.
**[12:29] Shotani**
So, did you get to talk
to the previous captain?
**[12:32] Riku**
Yeah.
**[12:33] Horyu**
So you know why there aren't any third-years?
**[12:36] Riku**
More or less.
**[12:40] Horyu**
Did something happen?
**[12:42] Horyu**
Akira-san's in a foul mood.
**[12:44] Akira**
He's hiding something, I know it.
**[12:50] Riku**
Even if he is, that's his decision.
**[12:55] Riku**
It's not our place to question it.
**[12:57] Shotani**
So after all that, nothing's been resolved?
**[13:00] Riku**
No, there *is* something we can do.
**[13:05] Riku**
Play a game.
**[13:06] Akira**
Against who?
**[13:09] Riku**
Sekirei.
**[13:10] Horyu**
What?
**[13:11] Horyu**
Why on earth would you
suggest playing Sekirei?
**[13:14] Horyu**
They're one of the Big Three,
and district champs.
**[13:17] Riku**
Even so, we're going to beat them.
**[13:21] Shotani**
Really? Sounds like it'll be a riot.
**[13:31] Tori**
Go! Hold out!
**[13:34] Tori**
Too slow! Move the ball faster!
**[13:37] Tori**
What are you doing?!
**[13:38] Tori**
Look at your teammates!
**[13:41] Riku**
Captain.
**[13:43] Riku**
Could you gather the team up
after practice today?
**[13:48] Tori**
What?
**[14:03] Tori**
Haruma, why did you want a team meeting?
**[14:07] Riku**
I've scheduled a practice game
for next weekend.
**[14:10] Tori**
What?
**[14:11] Riku**
We will be playing Sekirei Academy.
**[14:19] Club**
Sekirei Academy?
**[14:21] Club**
The invincible champions?
**[14:23] Club**
Those guys?
**[14:24] Tori**
Haruma! What do you think you're playing at?!
**[14:30] Tori**
Sekirei? Do you understand what that means?!
**[14:34] Riku**
Yes. Last winter, this team suffered
a crushing defeat at the hands of Sekirei.
**[14:41] Riku**
Because of that, all the
third-years on the team quit.
**[14:48] Tori**
You knew all that, and still...
**[14:50] Tori**
Haruma!
**[14:51] Oguma**
Hey, you mustn't...
**[14:54] Riku**
It's all right.
**[14:57] Riku**
Akira.
**[14:59] Riku**
Why do you practice?
**[15:01] Akira**
Huh? Isn't it obvious? To win.
**[15:06] Riku**
Yes, that's right.
**[15:08] Riku**
Practicing hard isn't enough.
**[15:11] Riku**
We need to win something.
**[15:14] Tori**
Let's say you're right, for argument's sake...
**[15:16] Tori**
Why Sekirei?! That team...
**[15:24] Tori**
There's no way we can beat them.
**[15:28] Oguma**
Haruma-kun, I didn't tell you all
that yesterday for you to do this.
**[15:33] Rando**
We should beat some other team
before taking on Sekirei.
**[15:37] Oguma**
We have to take it one step at
a time to build up our confidence.
**[15:41] Rando**
That's why Tori came up with
such a tough practice regimen.
**[15:46] Oguma**
It may be hard,
but it'll give us the best results.
**[15:51] Riku**
Are you going to carry on
lying to yourselves?
**[15:57] Riku**
Are you and your captain going to hide your
wounds and just keep running on the spot?
**[16:03] Rando**
What do *you* know?!
**[16:06] Riku**
I know.
**[16:09] Riku**
This team, me... We're the same.
**[16:12] Rando**
The same?
**[16:18] Riku**
I stopped playing rugby
because I wasn't athletic.
**[16:24] Riku**
I know how one big loss can
become a wound that festers.
**[16:33] Riku**
There's only one way
to heal a wound like that.
**[16:36] Riku**
By winning.
**[16:41] Riku**
By challenging the team you lost to.

But Soran couldn't even beat them
with *him* on the team.
**[17:02] Tori**
After that loss, we went through the motions.
**[17:07] Tori**
We said to ourselves
we'd beat Sekirei someday,
**[17:11] Tori**
but we doubted we ever truly could.
**[17:15] Tori**
That's when you guys showed up.
**[17:19] Tori**
We thought, with you on the team,
we might be able to win after all.
**[17:25] Riku**
We might... be able to win?
**[17:28] Tori**
Yeah. It's not a done deal.
**[17:31] Tori**
But it still gave me hope.
**[17:34] Tori**
I don't want that hope to turn into despair.
**[17:37] Tori**
I don't want you to go through that.
**[17:40] Rando**
Tori, you...
**[17:44] Riku**
It's all right, captain.
**[17:47] Riku**
Our spirits won't be broken.
**[17:57] Riku**
And what's more, we're going to win.
**[18:01] Tori**
Are you saying you think we can beat Sekirei?
**[18:07] Riku**
I'll make sure we win.
**[18:16] Riku**
To do that, I need your strength.
**[18:19] Riku**
If you stay scared of Sekirei, this team
will just keep groping about in the dark.

This week's topic is scrums.
**[21:57] Oguma**
That's where I show my stuff.
**[22:01] Ohata**
Rugby conjures up images of players
pushing against each other in a scrum.
**[22:05] Oguma**
It's what rugby is known for.
**[22:10] Ohata**
The forwards on both teams interlock arms
**[22:12] Ohata**
to make sure their half of the
scrum doesn't collapse, and push.
**[22:18] Oguma**
The scrum-half feeds
the ball into the tunnel.
**[22:22] Rando**
And everyone pushes to get the ball.
**[22:22] ---**
Tunnel
**[22:22] ---**
Tunnel
**[22:23] ---**
Tunnel
**[22:25] Ohata**
Players get the ball out using
their feet, not their hands.
**[22:28] Oguma**
When the ball exits someplace
other than the tunnel,
**[22:31] Oguma**
or the player at the back
gets the ball, the scrum is over.
**[22:36] Ohata**
Intentionally collapsing the scrum
is dangerous, so you mustn't do it.
**[22:41] Oguma**
We'd better be careful, too.

**[05:08] Akira**
So this is Sekirei, huh?
**[05:10] Riku**
You'd better not snap at our opponents.

I won't!

Hey, keep it down.

You're just making it worse.

I have been asked to

**[05:39] Setsuya**
My name is Katashiro Setsuya.
**[05:44] Setsuya**
I hope today will be fruitful
for both of our teams.
**[05:49] Tori**
Oh, thanks for—
**[05:49] Setsuya**
That being said...
**[05:51] Setsuya**
Apart from myself,
our first string is out for the day.
**[05:54] Setsuya**
So you will play our second string.
**[05:57] Tori**
Second string?
**[05:58] Setsuya**
Yes.
**[05:59] Setsuya**
I believe it will make for a better game.
**[06:03] Tori**
I see. So you're disrespecting a team
that came all the way here to play you?
**[06:08] Setsuya**
It would be more disrespectful
if we fielded a full-strength team.
**[06:16] Tori**
What's *his* problem?!
**[06:18] Tori**
Does he want to throw down?!
**[06:20] Tori**
Dammit!
**[06:22] Riku**
Everyone else is on their second string.
**[06:25] Riku**
He's the only first-string guy they're fielding.
**[06:33] Riku**
It's probably a pride thing.
**[06:36] Rando**
It's more than a little offensive...
**[06:39] Tori**
Hey, Haruma! Were you hoping
we'd play their second string?
**[06:44] Riku**
Yes. I scheduled the game on a day
their first string would be out.
**[06:49] Tori**
You planned this? You're unbelievable.
**[06:54] Akira**
Hmph, I thought we were finally
gonna get to play an actual game...
**[06:58] Riku**
This is Sekirei's second string.
**[07:00] Riku**
They're way stronger than
most schools' first string.
**[07:04] Riku**
Underestimate them at your peril.
**[07:19] Tori**
We'll teach their second string
not to underestimate us.
**[07:23] Tori**
Everyone, keep your cool out there.
Don't let your guard down.
**[07:27] Tori**
Haruma, you'll decide how we utilize Akira.
**[07:31] Tori**
All right!

We glide through every storm!

**[07:51] Member A**
Uh, shouldn't we do something too?
**[07:58] Setsuya**
Certainly not.
**[08:01] Setsuya**
Sekirei's huddles are a sacred ritual.
**[08:05] Setsuya**
If you wish to participate in one,
get picked for the first team.

As you wish. You needn't say any more.
**[12:23] (Flashback) Setsuya**
Everything I do...
**[12:26] (Flashback) Setsuya**
I do it for you, my lord.
**[12:37] Setsuya**
My lord saw something in you.
**[12:40] Setsuya**
Surely you will not let it
end like this, Azul Nova?
**[13:00] ---**
Sekirei
Academy
**[13:10] Oguma**
We can't let them score again!
**[13:19] Shotani**
Okay, you're really pushing your luck now.
**[13:28] Tori**
*At this rate, we're gonna lose.*
**[13:34] Rando**
Tori!
**[13:45] Rando**
Damn!
**[13:54] Riku**
This isn't going well for us.
**[13:57] Akira**
They scored two tries. I'd figured.
**[14:00] Riku**
Not that.
**[14:02] Riku**
I mean the captain and his wingmen.
**[14:05] Riku**
The way they got left for dust early on
has gotten under their skin.
**[14:08] Riku**
They're panicking.
**[14:12] Akira**
If you're bringing it up,
that means you have an idea, right?
**[14:20] Riku**
Yeah. The two of us are going to
get us out of this rut.
**[14:24] Akira**
That's what I like to hear.
**[14:28] Riku**
Let's go. Strategy #3.
**[14:34] (Flashback) Akira**
Sekirei Academy, huh?
Things are starting to look up.
**[14:38] (Flashback) Akira**
I'm itching to play them.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Akira**
So... what are our chances?
**[14:47] (Flashback) Riku**
About 30 percent.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Akira**
That's so low!
**[14:52] (Flashback) Riku**
If we stick to our usual tactics, that is.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Riku**
But we can flip those odds.
**[14:58] (Flashback) Riku**
You and me.
**[15:01] (Flashback) Riku**
This is our true trump card. Our playbook.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Riku**
At first, my plays were
dictated by your movement.
**[15:17] (Flashback) Riku**
But I should be the one
deciding where the ball goes.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Akira**
This is gonna be a real headache...
**[15:24] (Flashback) Riku**
It'll be easier to take the ball downfield
**[15:27] (Flashback) Riku**
if I kick it away from our opponents.
**[15:30] (Flashback) Riku**
Let's go.
**[15:36] (Flashback) Riku**
Keep your eye on the ball!
Don't just rely on your instincts!
**[15:40] (Flashback) Akira**
I know already!
**[15:45] (Flashback) Riku**
You have to match my timing!
**[15:55] (Flashback) Akira**
I overran it last time, but *this* time...
**[16:02] (Flashback) Riku**
Run like you mean it!
**[16:08] (Flashback) Riku**
It was better than this
the first time we teamed up.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Akira**
It'd be faster if I just
picked up the ball and ran.
**[16:17] (Flashback) Riku**
We're using this tactic because
that won't be enough to win.
**[16:20] (Flashback) Tori**
You seem to be struggling over here.
**[16:23] (Flashback) Rando**
Maybe Akira's not suited
to such a complicated tactic.
**[16:28] (Flashback) Oguma**
He tends to just charge
straight at his opponents.
**[16:33] Riku**
*Wait... Is that what's wrong?*
**[16:38] (Flashback) Riku**
Could you guys help us practice for a bit?
**[16:57] Riku**
*There!*
**[17:21] Tori**
Haruma!
**[17:24] Both**
This is it!
**[17:25] Riku**
Ready?
**[17:27] Akira**
It's better than rolling over.
**[17:34] Riku**
Now, look to the heavens.
**[17:38] Riku**
Playbook tactic #3!
**[17:51] Setsuya**
In front of you!
**[18:06] Setsuya**
A surprise attack utilizing #13's speed.
**[18:09] Setsuya**
A rather good plan, I must say.
**[18:11] Setsuya**
If I was not here, it might even have worked.
**[18:20] Setsuya**
*What speed!*
**[18:26] Riku**
*That's it. Show them all.*
**[18:35] Riku**
*Show them...*
**[18:39] Riku**
*...your strength.*
**[18:45] Tori**
Hell yes!
***SIGN*** Soran

**[19:02] Tori**

**[19:15] Riku**
Okay, our counterattack starts now.
**[19:25] Tenkawa**
Arimura, why are we watching this game?
**[19:29] Tenkawa**
The Crimson King isn't even here.
What's the point?
**[19:40] Arimura**
I finally found you...
**[19:43] Arimura**
Asamiya...
**[19:47] Arimura**
Riku-kun.
**[21:21] Riku**
Our counterattack starts here.
**[21:22] Akira**
Yeah! Let's pound them into the dirt.
**[21:25] Riku**
Don't underestimate them.
**[21:26] Riku**
Sekirei won't take this lying down.
**[21:28] Akira**
Will they send 30 guys to take us down?
**[21:30] Riku**
That'd be against the rules.
**[21:32] Akira**
Will they make shadow clones?
**[21:33] Riku**
Humans can't do that.
**[21:35] Akira**
Will they transform into wolves?
**[21:37] Riku**
You're one to talk.
**[21:38] Akira**
Will they use eye-catching tactical play?
**[21:40] Riku**
You suddenly went all sensible...

Next time:

Today, we'll be talking about
the forwards and the backs.
**[21:58] ---**
Forwards
**[21:58] ---**
Backs
**[21:58] Ohata**
The forwards are the eight
players who form the scrum.
**[22:02] Tori**
Their primary job is to get the ball.
**[22:05] Tori**
Most forwards are large physically.
**[22:08] Riku**
On our team, Oguma-senpai,
Shotani, and Horyu are forwards.
**[22:14] Ohata**
Next up, the backs.
**[22:17] Ohata**
The backs are the players
who position themselves
**[22:20] Ohata**
behind the scrum and get ready to attack.
**[22:24] Riku**
They execute the runs, passes, and kicks
that are pivotal to offensive plays.
**[22:31] Tori**
Haruma, Akira, Soya, and me are all backs.
**[22:36] ---**
Forwards
**[22:36] ---**
Backs
**[22:37] Riku**
Broadly speaking, forwards
defend and backs attack.
**[22:41] Ohata**
That's right. Almost the
exact opposite of soccer.

A surprise attack utilizing #13's speed.
**[02:35] Setsuya**
A rather good plan, I must say.
**[02:37] Setsuya**
If I was not here, it might even have worked.
**[02:45] Setsuya**
*What speed!*
**[02:51] Riku**
*That's it. Show them all.*
**[03:00] Riku**
*Show them...*
**[03:05] Riku**

Nice one!

It's comeback time!
**[03:26] All**
Yeah!
**[03:29] Setsuya**
*What a fool I have been!*
**[03:33] Setsuya**
* I forgot my lord's words and*
* underestimated my opponent!*
**[03:47] Akira**
Over here!
**[03:52] Sekirei**
A cut-out pass?
**[03:56] Rando**
Seriously? Talk about audacious, Haruma.
**[04:00] Riku**
If their attention's elsewhere,
it creates an opening.
**[04:06] Riku**
Time to dazzle them with our tactical play.
**[04:11] Arimura**
So what are you gonna show me,
**[04:14] Arimura**
Asamiya Riku-kun?
**[04:22] Shotani**
Nice, Rikkun.
**[04:30] Shotani**
Crap!
**[04:32] Sekirei**
All right.
**[04:34] Sekirei**
What?
**[04:36] Shotani**
You won't lose me that easily.
**[04:42] Akira**
Man, that was close.
**[04:50] Riku**
All yours.
**[04:52] Oguma**
I got this.
**[05:12] Tori**
Good eyes, bro.
**[05:14] Riku**
Right back at you, captain.
**[05:15] Tori**
Well, I can't let you guys brag that
you won this by yourselves, can I?
**[05:19] Tori**
Use us any way you want, Riku.
**[05:26] Setsuya**
The second string are but
boys who failed to become knights.
**[05:29] Setsuya**
Therefore, my only option is
to rely on my own strength to win.
**[05:37] Tori**
Stop him!
**[05:41] Shotani**
You're mine.
**[05:45] Shotani**
What?
**[05:50] Setsuya**
You've got good instincts, but you're naive.
**[05:55] Shotani**
Damn. I thought I had him.
***SIGN*** Soran
***SIGN*** Sekirei
**[06:05] Riku**
We're one step short
of taking them down.
**[06:08] Riku**
In order to end it...
**[06:11] Riku**
Akira, can you beat Katashiro Setsuya?
**[06:14] Akira**
Where'd that come from?
**[06:17] Riku**
We've fought to a standstill.
**[06:19] Riku**
The best way to end it is a
one-on-one between the star players.
**[06:23] Akira**
Music to my ears.
**[06:24] Riku**
However...
**[06:26] Riku**
If you lose, it's all over.
**[06:30] Riku**
Can you beat him?
**[06:32] Akira**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[06:34] Akira**
I've been waiting for you to say those words.
**[06:40] (Flashback) Riku**
Simply beating Sekirei isn't enough.
**[06:45] (Flashback) Riku**
Show them your strength.
**[06:48] (Flashback) Akira**
Now you're talking my language.
**[06:58] Riku**
*Okay, Akira...*
**[07:02] Riku**
*It's time to end this!*
**[07:07] Setsuya**
* My lord commanded me*
* to test their strength.*
**[07:12] Setsuya**
* Even so, losing this game*
* would be unacceptable!*
**[07:15] Setsuya**
*I swear on the pride of Sekirei...*
**[07:17] Setsuya**
*and on this life I have dedicated to my lord...*
**[07:23] Setsuya**
*I* will *stop you!*
**[07:26] Setsuya**
*Right.*
**[07:28] Setsuya**
*Success!*
**[07:33] Akira**
*I already know how fast you are.*
**[07:36] Akira**
* I'll gobble you up, spit you out,*
* and keep on running.*
**[07:39] Riku**
And that's...
**[07:41] Riku**
...checkmate.
**[07:56] Shotani**
Finders keepers.
**[08:09] Tori**
Nice, Oguma!
**[08:11] Riku**
Go for it!
***SIGN*** Soran

**[08:29] Setsuya**
This... This cannot be happening...

**[08:53] Akira**
Hey! You just gonna watch
even though you're back now?
**[08:57] Akira**
Are you happy to see your team lose?
**[09:01] Reo**
Do not take the bait.
**[09:03] Reo**
There is only one play left.
The game is over.
**[09:07] Suruga**
But, Reo...
**[09:08] Reo**
I know. If the goal is not winning, but to
demonstrate the gulf in skill between us,
**[09:14] Reo**
then I shall take the field.
**[09:21] Setsuya**
My lord, I offer my sincerest apologies.
**[09:23] Reo**
You underestimated the opposition.
**[09:27] Reo**
It is a bad habit of yours.
**[09:29] Reo**
Watch from the sidelines.
**[09:31] Setsuya**
Y-Yes, my lord!
**[09:35] Tori**
He's arrived.
**[09:37] Tori**
The Commander of the Red Knights.
**[09:39] Tori**
Japan's top high school player.
**[09:41] Tori**
The Crimson King: Asamiya Reo.
**[09:48] Reo**
*Should I gamble?*
**[09:52] Tori**
Stop him! Get Asamiya Reo!
**[09:57] Setsuya**
Ah, my lord... You are magnificent...
**[10:01] Suruga**
He sees their movements
down to the millimeter.
**[10:03] Suruga**
No one on Soran is
good enough to stop him.
**[10:07] Akira**
*Sweet.*
**[10:09] Akira**
*Now* this *is worthwhile prey!*
**[10:13] Akira**
I've been wanting to put you in your place!
**[10:26] Riku**
*This is my chance.*
**[10:28] Riku**
* It can only be now,*
* right after he's sidestepped Akira.*
**[10:31] Riku**
*The direction, the timing... I see it all.*
**[10:35] Reo**
Yes, that's exactly what
I expected you to do.
**[10:41] Reo**
I saw this future.
**[10:48] Akira**
You're not getting away, Asamiya Reo!
**[11:03] Akira**
Dammit!
**[11:13] Tori**
Nice work.
**[11:22] Setsuya**
Captain, your towel.
**[11:27] Suruga**
Did you show them the gulf
in skill between us and them?
**[11:29] Reo**
Yes. However...
**[11:32] Reo**
their spirit remains unbroken.
**[11:51] Reo**
There is no path open to you here.
**[11:54] Reo**
Is that not what I told you?
**[11:56] Reo**
Why have you returned?
**[12:01] (Flashback) Reo**
There is no path open to you here.
**[12:09] Riku**
I've returned to show you
how wrong you were,
**[12:12] Riku**
Brother.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Reo**
There is no place for you here.
**[12:51] Tori**
We fought well today.
**[12:54] Tori**
We seized victory together.
**[12:56] Tori**
We'll keep aiming for the top.
**[13:01] Tori**
But...
**[13:02] Tori**
Take tomorrow off.
**[13:03] Tori**
Get some rest, you hear?
**[13:15] Tori**
Riku.
**[13:18] Tori**
Do you have a minute?
**[13:24] Tori**
Is it true that Asamiya Reo
is your brother?
**[13:29] Riku**
Yes.
**[13:32] Horyu**
I-It's true?
**[13:34] Shotani**
What? Really?
**[13:38] Rando**
But why don't you have the same surname?
**[13:41] Rando**
Oh, uh, I didn't mean to...
**[13:43] Riku**
No, it's fine. Our parents divorced.
**[13:46] Riku**
But that's all in the past.
**[13:49] Oguma**
Well, that's a surprise. I had no idea.
**[13:53] Tori**
Me neither.
**[13:54] Shotani**
But he looks absolutely nothing like you.
**[13:58] Riku**
We looked more alike
when we were younger.
**[14:02] Rando**
So you hadn't seen him in a while?
**[14:04] Riku**
Yeah. Today was the first time since
our parents got divorced two years ago.
**[14:09] Riku**
I quit rugby around that time, too.
**[14:11] Tori**
Did you quit rugby because of
something Asamiya Reo did?
**[14:20] Tori**
What is it?
**[14:26] Riku**
My father used to play for the national team.
**[14:31] Riku**
My brother and I wanted to be like him,
and we grew up playing rugby.
**[14:36] Riku**
In grade school, both of us
were touted as future stars.
**[14:40] Riku**
The expectation was that we'd end up
wearing Japan's colors, just like our father.
**[14:45] Riku**
But... it wasn't to be.
**[14:50] Riku**
My brother grew taller
and got stronger physically.
**[14:55] Riku**
But I didn't.
**[14:57] Riku**
I slowly lost the ability to beat
players I'd once left for dust.
**[15:04] Riku**
Despite that, my tactical play made
up for my physical shortcomings.
**[15:08] Riku**
But two years ago...
**[15:16] Riku**
Fortunately, it wasn't serious
enough to end my rugby career,
**[15:20] Riku**
but I couldn't play for a time.
**[15:27] (Flashback) Reo**
There is no path open to you here.
**[15:32] (Flashback) Reo**
You will never make it as a player.
**[15:39] Riku**
I had begun to sense
that I'd peaked as a player.
**[15:44] Tori**
Riku.
**[15:46] Riku**
So I stopped playing rugby.
**[15:48] Riku**
To be honest, I never
intended to pick it up again.
**[15:52] Riku**
But whatever my reason for quitting,
I've returned to rugby
**[15:56] Riku**
so I can prove him wrong
when he said I didn't belong.
**[16:00] Riku**
To do that...
**[16:03] Riku**
I must defeat Asamiya Reo.
**[16:07] Riku**
If we don't, we'll never reach the top.
**[16:09] Riku**
Today's game should've taught you that.
**[16:13] Akira**
Huh. We finally agree for once.
**[16:17] Riku**
Yeah. Hell must have frozen over.
**[16:21] Tori**
You're right. We have to
come up with a way to deal with him.
**[16:26] Shotani**
If we're gonna play this sport,
I want us to be the very best.
**[16:29] Rando**
And we'll have to beat him eventually.
**[16:31] Oguma**
Yeah.
**[16:33] Horyu**
But with Riku-san and Akira-san on the team,
I'm starting to feel like we can do this.
**[16:38] Tori**
We've improved a lot since
our last game with Sekirei.
**[16:43] Riku**
Yes. It may have been their second string,
but it was still Sekirei, and we beat them.
**[16:47] Riku**
That has helped this team
get over last year's defeat.
**[16:51] Riku**
And...
**[16:55] Riku**
I will also move forward.
**[16:57] Riku**
To do that, I have to beat Asamiya Reo.
**[17:00] Riku**
I must defeat Sekirei Academy.
**[17:02] Tori**
Yeah. Sekirei will play their
first string in the tournament.
**[17:07] Tori**
We'll have to actually beat them next time.
**[17:11] Akira**
Sounds good. I'm pumped.
**[17:54] Riku**
Akira.
**[17:57] Riku**
What are you doing up this late?
**[17:59] Akira**
I could ask you the same thing.
What are you doing out here?
**[18:04] Riku**
Nothing. Does it matter?
**[18:07] Akira**
What does *that* mean?
**[18:09] Riku**
Unlike you, I have a lot to think about.
**[18:13] Akira**
Shut it.
**[18:17] Akira**
Thinking about today's game?
**[18:21] Akira**
Huh. Looks like I guessed right.
**[18:24] Riku**
You are, too.
**[18:27] Akira**
Well, yeah.
**[18:32] Akira**
I was so close...
**[18:36] Riku**
And yet, so far away.
**[18:40] Riku**
That's the summit.
**[18:42] Akira**
Bring it on.
**[18:44] Akira**
The stronger the prey, the better the hunt.
**[18:47] Riku**
You really are a wild beast, aren't you?
**[18:48] Akira**
Yeah, I'll gobble him up.
**[18:50] Akira**
I've been chasing him this whole time.
**[18:53] Riku**
I see.
**[18:54] Akira**
It's the same for you, isn't it?
**[18:56] Riku**
I suppose.
**[18:59] Akira**
What's up?
**[19:01] Riku**
When we were younger, me and
my brother practiced together a lot.
**[19:05] Riku**
We were good partners and rivals
who built each other up.
**[19:10] Riku**
But I never beat him, not even once.
**[19:14] Riku**
We did countless one-on-ones,
**[19:16] Riku**
but my brother was always
the one left standing.
**[19:18] Akira**
What's this now?
Where'd all your confidence go?
**[19:22] Riku**
But this time...
**[19:23] Riku**
I'm not alone.
**[19:26] Riku**
You have to help me.
**[19:30] Akira**
I don't like being ordered around,
but what can you do?
**[19:34] Akira**
If it means beating that guy,
I'll do anything.
**[19:39] Riku**
You've got a one-track mind.
**[21:20] Akira**
I'm gonna hunt down Asamiya Reo.
**[21:23] Riku**
That's the spirit.
**[21:24] Akira**
And I'll gobble up everyone else, too!
**[21:26] Riku**
That's the spirit.
**[21:28] Akira**
So who *is* "everyone else," exactly?
**[21:30] Riku**
There might be guys out there
with better physiques than even you.
**[21:35] Riku**
Though I doubt any of them is going to
start digging in to meat on the bone.
**[21:39] Akira**
Well, *you're* the only guy who
threatens to stick collars on people!

***SIGN*** Kicks
**[21:55] Reo**
Today, we're talking about kicks.
**[21:57] Riku**
They're an invaluable way to score points.
**[22:00] Ohata**
In rugby, it's not only tries that
score points. Kicks can as well.
**[22:07] Reo**
Get it between the goalposts....
**[22:11] Riku**
...and above the crossbar.
**[22:15] Ohata**
You score points if you kick
the ball through that area.
**[22:22] Ohata**
A kick is worth either two or three points.
***SIGN*** POINTS
**[22:28] Reo**
A conversion—the kick after a try—
is worth two points.

You should go for them
when you get the chance.
**[22:39] Ohata**
The important thing to remember
**[22:40] Ohata**
is the points you get for a kick
depends on the situation.

**[00:48] Tori**
The tournament starts
right after summer break!
**[00:51] All**
Yeah!
**[01:02] Tori**
We'll crush everyone and go to nationals!
**[01:06] All**
Yeah!
**[01:08] Tori**
Crimson King's a nobody! We're the strongest!
**[01:12] All**
Yeah!
**[01:27] Akira**
The vibe's totally different
now we've won a game.
**[01:29] Riku**
Yeah. We've cleared a major hurdle.
**[01:35] Akira**
The next time we play them,
I'll make sure I beat him.
**[01:41] Riku**
With how you are now,
that might be a tall order.
**[01:45] Riku**
Emphasis on the now.
**[01:50] Akira**
What's your plan?
**[01:52] Riku**
A training camp.

**[03:59] All**
Yeah!
**[04:06] Tori**
Go!
**[04:11] Tori**
Next!
**[04:17] Tori**
Hit it hard! Don't be scared!
**[04:23] Akira**
Riku.
**[04:24] Akira**
How's this any different
from our regular sessions?
**[04:29] Riku**
The regimen may be the same,
but the duration and surroundings aren't.
**[04:34] Riku**
As a result, the session is more intense.
**[04:38] Akira**
You reckon?
**[04:42] Riku**
But I do have a few thoughts on the matter.
**[04:45] Akira**
What's up?
**[04:48] Riku**
Shall we play a game?
**[04:50] Akira**
Sounds good to me.
**[05:03] Tori**
Riku, is there some reason
you divided us up into these teams?
**[05:08] Riku**
Yes. I figured it would
highlight our problem areas.
**[05:15] Akira**
Bring it on.
**[05:24] Tori**
*He's coming.*
**[05:39] Tori**
You can't stop Akira that easily.
**[05:42] Riku**
Yes. After all, he never lets up,
and leaves nothing on the table when he plays.
**[05:47] Riku**
That said, Akira isn't our only attacker.
**[05:55] Shotani**
Gotcha.
**[06:03] Oguma**
Incredible.
**[06:05] Shotani**
Even if it's you, Kuma-chan-senpai...
**[06:19] Riku**
Oguma-senpai.
**[06:21] Riku**
Shotani makes a lot
of broad, showy movements.
**[06:25] Riku**
Don't be fooled by them.
**[06:26] Riku**
Concentrate on what his
lower half's doing instead.
**[06:29] Oguma**
What?
**[06:33] Tori**
Riku's advice is usually on point.
**[06:35] Tori**
Take it to heart.
**[06:38] Oguma**
Got it. I'll give it a shot.
**[06:43] Shotani**
Kuma-chan-senpai again?
**[06:51] Oguma**
You won't get past me.
**[06:52] Shotani**
What?
**[06:57] Tori**
Yes!
**[06:59] Oguma**
I'm impressed, Haruma.
**[07:01] Oguma**
I was able to stop him
when I did what you said.
**[07:04] Shotani**
Seriously, Rikkun?
You'll give them advice, but not me?
**[07:10] Riku**
Your movements are inefficient.
**[07:13] Riku**
You need to stop going overboard,
**[07:15] Riku**
and look at what your opponent's doing.
**[07:18] Riku**
When you go for a feint,
**[07:20] Riku**
move your head in the opposite
direction to where you intend to go.
**[07:24] Shotani**
I get what you're saying.
**[07:27] Akira**
I get it, yeah.
**[07:40] Akira**
You're the starting point
for all our attacks, Riku.
**[07:45] Riku**
You're finally starting to
understand basic tactics.
**[07:49] Akira**
'Cause you never shut up about 'em.
**[07:55] Riku**
* You always go all out.*
* It certainly is intimidating.*
**[07:59] Riku**
*However...*
**[08:02] Rando**
The ball's mine, Kariya.
**[08:05] Riku**
You can't catch someone after
you've put everything into a tackle.
**[08:14] Akira**
I thought I had him.
**[08:17] Riku**
It wasn't a bad tactic.
**[08:19] Akira**
Really?
**[08:22] Riku**
Offloading the ball was my only option.
**[08:25] Akira**
You countered me perfectly.
**[08:28] Riku**
Because I knew what you were going to do.
**[08:31] Riku**
That said, if you limit
your opponent's options,
**[08:34] Riku**
it's easier to counter.
**[08:37] Riku**
Whereas your opponent's more
likely to misread the situation
**[08:40] Riku**
if you keep them guessing.
**[08:42] Riku**
In other words, charging headlong
at someone isn't your only option.
**[08:46] Akira**
Seems you might be right.
**[08:48] Tori**
Riku! Akira! Get back over here!
**[08:52] Riku**
Come on. We've got a lot of training to do.
**[09:31] Tori**
Our training camp ends today.
**[09:34] Tori**
We've made real progress.
We're a lot stronger now.
**[09:38] ---**
Yeah!
**[09:42] Tori**
The time will come to show our strength.
**[09:45] Tori**
The tournament starts in two weeks.
**[09:49] Tori**
We will now announce
who's in our starting lineup.

Sekirei isn't the only strong team
that will be at the tournament.
**[11:25] Tori**
There's also Shikuniyama,
the other Big Three team.
**[11:28] Tori**
And we can't underestimate
the other schools either.

We'll crush all of them!

Tori, why'd you suddenly change
your mind about Nada-san?
**[11:52] Rando**
Weren't we going to wait?
**[11:55] Tori**
I understand what you're
trying to say. It's just...
**[11:59] Tori**
Our team now isn't like it was before.
**[12:03] Oguma**
Yeah.
**[12:04] Tori**
I wanted to tell him that.
**[12:07] Rando**
And ask him to come back
as an afterthought?
**[12:09] Tori**
It's not an afterthought.
**[12:12] Tori**
To beat Sekirei and Shikuniyama,
we'll need his strength.

After all, our goal is to win.

Move up!
**[13:17] Captain**
You're a strong side, for sure.

But you won't beat us in the tournament.

Yeah. Let's hope we both do well.

**[15:09] Nada**
Okay.
**[15:18] Tori**
Sorry for just showing up like this.
**[15:21] Nada**
It's fine. I'm glad I get
to talk to you guys again.
**[15:27] Nada**
How's the rugby team?
**[15:29] Rando**
Good. The members who are
still with us are having fun.
**[15:33] Nada**
I see.
**[15:34] Oguma**
Nada-san, you seem to be doing well.
**[15:37] Nada**
I guess.
**[15:39] Tori**
Nada-san, we beat Sekirei.
**[15:44] Nada**
Yeah, I heard.
**[15:46] Tori**
It was only their second string, though.
**[15:49] Nada**
What are you talking about?
It's still impressive.
**[15:51] Tori**
It is, isn't it? The moment
we won, I was overjoyed.
**[15:56] Tori**
I wanted to experience
that feeling with you again.
**[16:05] Tori**
Nada-san, I'll cut to the chase.
**[16:09] Tori**
Will you come back to the rugby team?
**[16:13] Nada**
You're fine without me.
**[16:17] Nada**
You beat Sekirei without me.
**[16:20] Nada**
The team's coming together well.
**[16:23] Nada**
A third-year returning now
would disrupt things.
**[16:26] Tori**
That's not true!
**[16:28] Tori**
Everyone would be over the moon
if you came back!
**[16:33] Nada**
I'm carrying an injury.
I'll never play like I did back then.
**[16:38] Tori**
Rugby is really fun for me right now.
**[16:43] Tori**
Practice is tough, but it's like
I can feel myself getting better.
**[16:48] Oguma**
Yeah.
**[16:50] Tori**
Honestly, I've never felt like this before.
**[16:54] Rando**
Talk about pouring your heart out.
**[16:58] Tori**
Play rugby with us again.
**[17:02] Nada**
Tori...
**[17:04] Tori**
Besides, this year's first-years
have got real spirit.
**[17:22] Tori**
They can be impudent,
selfish, timid, and bossy...
**[17:29] Rando**
A load of them don't listen to instructions.
**[17:31] Nada**
Sounds like there's a lot
of variety on the team.
**[17:34] Tori**
Yeah. They're all interesting guys.
**[17:38] Tori**
And one of them doesn't know who
to stick in the number eight role.
**[17:44] Tori**
Nada-san, you're the best number eight I know.
**[17:50] Tori**
Please lend them your strength.
**[17:54] Nada**
You've gotten stronger.
**[18:04] Nada**
I'm not that strong yet.
**[18:08] Nada**
The injury I suffered won't heal so easily.
**[18:14] Nada**
I don't mean my leg. I mean my heart.
**[18:19] Nada**
It seems to have affected me
more deeply than I thought it did.
**[18:25] Nada**
Where we are now is, I've quit rugby.
**[18:33] Nada**
Sorry.
**[18:34] Tori**
Nada-san...
**[18:37] Rando**
We made it even harder for him to return.
**[18:39] Tori**
That's not true.
**[18:48] Tori**
Riku.
**[18:49] Tori**
About Nada-san...
**[18:53] Riku**
How did it go?
**[18:54] Tori**
He's not coming back right away.
**[18:57] Riku**
I see.
**[18:58] Tori**
You could try to be a *little* disappointed...
**[19:00] Riku**
If you were gloomier, I would be too.
**[19:04] Tori**
What?
**[19:06] Tori**
Unbelievable.
**[19:07] Tori**
In any case, we'll have to keep winning
if we want to lure Nada-san back.
**[19:12] Riku**
Yes. That was always my intention.
**[19:15] Tori**
After all, he's part of
the Soran rugby team.

We already know how to sew that wound up.

***SIGN*** No Side
**[21:55] Nada**
This time, we're looking at "no side."
**[21:58] Tori**
It's a cornerstone of the
spirit rugby is played in.
**[22:03] Ohata**
The winner is whoever scores the
most points by the end of the game.
**[22:11] Nada**
If both teams score the same, it's a draw.
**[22:13] Nada**
In some tournaments, overtime
will be played to break the deadlock.
**[22:17] Tori**
Games are split into halves,
with each half lasting 40 minutes.
**[22:20] Tori**
High school games are
shortened to 30-minute halves.
**[22:28] Ohata**
And when the game ends,
the players shake hands.
**[22:34] Nada**
This is called the spirit of
"no side." It's very important.
***SIGN*** No Side
**[22:40] Tori**
So never forget to show
respect and gratitude.

I'm excited 'cause I get to
play all these guys real soon.
**[00:36] Akira**
Doesn't that excite you, too?

As one of the Big Three,
there's no doubting their strength.
**[02:52] Akira**
It doesn't matter who we're up against.
**[02:55] Akira**
We just have to crush 'em.
**[02:57] Riku**
If we play them, it'll be in the semifinals.
**[03:00] Riku**
And in the final...
***SIGN*** Sekirei
**[03:18] Tori**
Hey, get over here already!
**[03:24] Tori**
It's time, guys.
**[03:26] Tori**
We've done everything we can to prepare.
**[03:28] Tori**
All that's left is to show it on the field.
**[03:32] Tori**
Sekirei awaits us in the final.
**[03:37] Tori**
But don't look past our first game.
**[03:40] Tori**
If we lose it, none of that will matter.
**[03:45] Tori**
Let's do this!
**[03:47] All**
Yeah!
**[03:50] Tori**
Okay, that's all from me.
**[03:53] Tori**
The game starts at one,
so go get some lunch.
**[03:56] All**
Okay!
**[04:07] Tori**
Hey, don't overeat before the game.
**[04:12] Akira**
I won't have enough energy if I don't eat.
**[04:16] Tori**
Sheesh.
**[04:25] Tori**
What's wrong, Riku? Aren't you eating?
**[04:28] Riku**
Oh... nothing.
**[04:30] Shotani**
Akarin-senpai!
**[04:32] Tori**
My name's Tori. What's up?
**[04:35] Shotani**
Who are we playing in our first game?
**[04:38] Tori**
I told you that yesterday!
We're playing Haizawa High.
**[04:42] Shotani**
Right, right.
**[04:44] Tori**
Try to remember it this time.
**[04:46] Shotani**
But I'm so forgetful.
**[04:51] Tori**
Jeez. Listen, Haizawa is—
**[04:55] Yoshinaga**
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't
even know who you're playing?
**[05:06] Tori**
Yikes.
**[05:07] Shotani**
Who's that?
**[05:08] Oguma**
Haizawa's captain.
**[05:11] Yoshinaga**
You sure you guys are okay, Fuyuhara?
**[05:16] Tori**
We had some new guys join the team recently.
**[05:19] Yoshinaga**
Recently? You're letting your rookies play?
**[05:24] Yoshinaga**
Well, I guess you don't have much choice.
**[05:27] Yoshinaga**
Soran lost a truckload of players, after all.
**[05:31] Yoshinaga**
All your third-years, wasn't it?
Including your captain.
**[05:35] Yoshinaga**
Musta been terrible.
**[05:37] Yoshinaga**
Or were you glad they quit
and cleared the path for you lot?
**[05:48] Oguma**
Yoshinaga-san, that's enough.
**[05:52] Yoshinaga**
Huh?
**[05:54] Oguma**
That's enough.
**[06:00] Yoshinaga**
Well, it'll be fun finding out just
how bad a "Big Three" school can stink.
**[06:06] Tori**
*What's* his *problem?!*
**[06:08] Tori**
*Does he* want *me to punch his lights out?!*
**[06:11] Rando**
Calm down. It's what he wants.
**[06:14] Oguma**
Yoshinaga-san can be a bit, well...
**[06:18] Horyu**
He seemed... kind of unpleasant.
**[06:21] Shotani**
I don't like guys like him.
**[06:25] Tori**
Who does he think he is?!
**[06:27] Tori**
That cocky little turd!
**[06:30] Riku**
Let's calm it down.
**[06:32] Riku**
We just have to win. That'll shut him up.
**[06:36] Riku**
Don't you agree?
**[06:40] Riku**
It's all right.
**[06:42] Riku**
If we play like we know we can, we won't lose.
**[06:48] Tori**
Yeah, you're right.
**[06:51] Tori**
Does anyone here think we've gotten weaker?
**[06:57] Akira**
No.
**[06:59] Tori**
That's right. So let's go show them that!
**[07:04] Tori**
The first game comes first!
**[07:07] Tori**
Let's crush Haizawa!
**[07:19] Riku**
Do you remember our game against Sekirei?
**[07:22] Akira**
Huh?
**[07:33] Riku**
Recreate their first play.
**[07:36] Riku**
It's on you.
**[07:41] Akira**
This is the first time I've thought
one of your strategies was a good one.
**[07:45] Riku**
Why, thank you.
**[07:55] Riku**
Think you can do it?
**[07:56] Akira**
Who do you think you're talking to?
**[08:00] Riku**
Sounds promising.
**[08:02] Riku**
Don't hold back.
**[08:04] Riku**
As the captain would say:
**[08:07] Riku**
crush them.
**[08:31] Yoshinaga**
What are you, stupid?
**[08:33] Yoshinaga**
You're guaranteed to get taken down
if you run at our line there!
**[08:43] Yoshinaga**
See? It's over. Nice try.
**[08:46] Yoshinaga**
What?
**[09:01] Yoshinaga**
What the hell *is* he?
**[09:03] Yoshinaga**
This isn't good!
**[09:04] Yoshinaga**
Stop him! Do it now!
**[09:11] Yoshinaga**
Damn!
**[09:18] Akira**
You're weak.
**[09:30] Yoshinaga**
Who... Who the hell is this guy?
**[09:37] Riku**
You ran all the way to the try line.
**[09:40] Akira**
Of course I did.
**[09:42] Riku**
You could've passed.
**[09:45] Akira**
I decided I'd make a play even
better than Sekirei's on my own.
**[09:54] Akira**
So? Did it work?
**[09:57] Riku**
It worked a treat.
**[09:59] Riku**
The enemy is terrified.
**[10:01] Akira**
In other words, a resounding success.
**[10:04] Riku**
Yeah. We're in total control of the game.
**[10:08] Riku**
So...
**[10:09] Both**
We'll press our advantage!
**[10:13] Riku**
That's right.
**[10:20] Yoshinaga**
They just caught us off-guard.
**[10:24] Yoshinaga**
If we know they're coming...
**[10:27] Akira**
I'll take you all on!
**[10:31] Akira**
Send as many guys my way as you want!
**[10:34] Yoshinaga**
A-A pass?!
**[10:39] Rando**
Sorry, Kariya.
**[10:42] Akira**
Hey, Riku! Why didn't
you pass me the ball?!
**[10:46] Akira**
I feel like this has happened before!
**[10:50] Riku**
Then you should remember, shouldn't you?
**[10:58] Riku**
Akira, we won't break out the playbook today.
**[11:03] Riku**
We'll use other methods to crush them.
**[11:10] Arimura**
I see...
**[11:28] Yoshinaga**
There's no way... I'll let it end like this!
**[11:36] Yoshinaga**
Pass!
**[11:40] Yoshinaga**
What?!
**[11:42] Shotani**
I'd better show off what I can do, too.
**[11:47] Yoshinaga**
Get back there!
**[12:02] Riku**
Nice work.
**[12:05] Horyu**
Thank you very much.
**[12:20] Yoshinaga**
Someone stop him!
**[12:44] Yoshinaga**
You can't be serious!
**[13:07] LEFT**
Soran
**[13:07] RIGHT**
Haizawa
**[13:15] Akira**
Hey.
**[13:20] Akira**
We're strong, aren't we?
**[13:22] Akira**
This is what Soran is now.
**[13:28] Riku**
Good game.
**[13:30] Riku**
Let's play again.
**[13:34] Tori**
It's true that we lost our third-years.
**[13:38] Tori**
But...
**[13:40] Tori**
We've become stronger.
**[13:53] Tori**
Did you see the look on his face?
**[13:55] Tori**
Serves him right!
**[13:57] Rando**
That was an easy win.
**[14:00] Oguma**
Yeah. I think we played well.
**[14:04] Shotani**
That felt great!
**[14:06] Horyu**
Our training camp paid off, for sure.
**[14:10] Riku**
There's that, too. It shows that we
made good use of our training camp.
**[14:15] Akira**
Either way, we just have
to crush everyone in our path.
**[14:20] Tori**
All right! Let's ride this wave
all the way to the final, guys!
**[14:25] All**
Yeah!
**[14:29] Shimabara**
Hey, Fuyuhara. It's been a while.
**[14:34] Tori**
Sh-Shimabara-san.
**[14:35] Shotani**
Who?
**[14:37] Horyu**
Uh, no clue.
**[14:38] Oguma**
That's the captain of Shikuniyama,
one of the Big Three.
**[14:42] Shimabara**
I saw your game. You pulverized them.
**[14:46] Tori**
Thank you very much!
**[14:48] Shimabara**
I was worried after Nada and
the other third-years quit,
**[14:53] Shimabara**
but you've done well to rebuild.
**[14:56] Tori**
Thanks.
**[14:57] Shimabara**
I see. So this is what Soran is now.
**[15:02] Shimabara**
You guys are strong.
**[15:05] Shimabara**
Of course you'd beat Sekirei,
even if it was their second string.
**[15:09] Shimabara**
But you do have weaknesses.
**[15:16] Shimabara**
And when you play against us,
we'll exploit them as much as we can.
**[15:20] Shimabara**
Prepare yourselves.
**[15:22] Riku**
Yeah, I look forward to it.
**[15:26] Shimabara**
That's some poker face
you got there, Haruma Riku.
**[15:30] Shimabara**
I look forward to our game.
**[15:34] Rando**
Shikuniyama is a tactically astute team.
**[15:38] Rando**
Shimabara-san is their focal point.
**[15:40] Rando**
He quickly identifies and implements
counter-strategies against all opponents.
**[15:46] Rando**
He's a bit like you.
**[15:48] Riku**
I see.
**[15:50] Horyu**
What do you think our weaknesses are?
**[15:54] Shotani**
Who knows? I wonder.
**[15:57] Riku**
It doesn't matter.
**[15:59] Riku**
No matter what their game plan is,
we'll handle it.
**[16:05] Tori**
Okay, guys. Get changed and
we'll go watch Shikuniyama's game.
**[16:10] Akira**
So, Riku, what strategy will we use?
**[16:13] Riku**
Well—
**[16:17] Tenkawa**
Whoops.
**[16:21] Tenkawa**
Sorry.
**[16:36] Tori**
We're leaving.
**[17:10] Tori**
Shimabara-san is pumped.
**[17:14] Rando**
It is his last tournament.
**[17:17] Oguma**
You can feel how much
he has riding on it.
**[17:23] LEFT**
Shikuniyama
**[17:23] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[17:24] Shotani**
They're playing Kinosaka.
**[17:27] Shotani**
Are they any good?
**[17:29] Tori**
Never heard of 'em.
**[17:32] Rando**
Neither have I.
**[17:34] Oguma**
Me neither.
**[17:39] Horyu**
Then, to be blunt,
they're not all that strong?
**[17:44] Rando**
Probably not.
**[17:46] Tori**
I'm sure it'll be a crushing victory
for Shikuniyama.
**[17:50] Riku**
Akira.
**[17:51] Akira**
Yeah.
**[17:53] Akira**
That guy...
**[17:55] Akira**
He's no ordinary guy.
**[18:03] Riku**
That guy...
**[18:11] Tori**
It's starting.
**[18:25] Kino**
Damn!
**[18:29] Shimabara**
They're playing rough.
**[18:49] Tori**
Shimabara-san is amazing.
**[18:52] Rando**
It was a good decision.
**[18:54] Oguma**
He's watching his surroundings closely.
**[18:57] Horyu**
It feels like his movements
are perfectly efficient.
**[18:59] Shotani**
I bet it's fun to be able to
move the ball around so well.
**[19:06] Tenkawa**
Arimura, what should we do?
**[19:09] Tenkawa**
They're strong.
**[19:13] Arimura**
Nothing to worry about.
**[19:16] Arimura**
It's all right, Tenkawa-kun.
**[19:19] Arimura**
After all, this game is already
in the palm of my hand.
**[19:37] Rando**
You're kidding...
**[19:39] Oguma**
No way...
**[19:44] LEFT**
Shikuniyama
**[19:44] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[19:46] Tori**
Shikuniyama... lost?
**[21:40] Riku**
I have a bad feeling about Kinosaka.
**[21:42] Akira**
Your animal instincts tell you that?
**[21:44] Riku**
I'm not like you.

This episode, we're covering
running and passing.
**[21:58] Rando**
As basic fundamentals,
they're important to the game.
**[22:02] Ohata**
One of the key features of rugby is,
**[22:04] Ohata**
you can run around freely
while you're holding the ball.
**[22:08] Shotani**
In other words, you can run with
the ball without needing to dribble.
**[22:13] Rando**
It's an essential way of
moving the ball forwards.
**[22:17] Ohata**
You can also pass the ball
to your teammates by throwing it.
**[22:22] Rando**
But you can't pass the ball
to players ahead of you.
**[22:29] Ohata**
You can only pass to players
beside or behind you.
**[22:33] Shotani**
It'd be easy if you could pass forwards.

**[02:54] Tori**
Shikuniyama... lost?
**[03:06] Horyu**
Shikuniyama controlled the pace
of the game in the first half.
**[03:09] Rando**
Kinosaka went for brute force,
but Shikuniyama soaked up everything.
**[03:14] Rando**
That's Shimabara-san's specialty.

Shikuniyama

They even had a lead.
**[03:19] Oguma**
But... they didn't get far enough ahead.
**[03:23] Akira**
It was that guy.
**[03:25] Akira**
He scored all their points by himself.
**[03:34] Shotani**
Kinosaka's captain, Tenkawa Shogo.
**[03:37] Shotani**
He breezed past three guys in one move.
**[03:40] Tori**
Yeah. I thought he was a one-man team, but...
**[03:45] Riku**
Things changed in the second half.
**[03:47] Riku**
Power remained their focus,
**[03:49] Riku**
but their gameplan suddenly
became a lot more precise.
**[03:52] Rando**
They snuffed out all their attacks,
even after they changed up their tactics.
**[03:58] Riku**
It's like they were able to read minds...
**[04:11] Arimura**
Hey. It's been a while.
**[04:17] Arimura**
I knew you wouldn't remember me.
**[04:19] Arimura**
In that case...
**[04:27] Arimura**
I'll reintroduce myself properly one day.
**[04:31] Arimura**
Later.
**[04:47] Shotani**
Rikkun, you still thinking about that thing?
**[04:53] Riku**
I feel like I've seen it before.
**[04:57] Shotani**
Let me take a look.
**[05:00] Shotani**
Let's see here...
**[05:08] Riku**
I feel like I recognize him, too.
**[05:12] Shotani**
There's something written on it.
**[05:14] Shotani**
"Grand Cup Runner-up..." I think?
**[05:17] Shotani**
Grand Cup

**[05:19] Shotani**
What's up? Did you just remember something?
**[05:25] Riku**
Arimura... Rinto...
**[05:29] Riku**
I played him back when I played chess.
**[05:34] Akira**
What's that guy doing on a rugby field?
**[05:38] Riku**
How would I know the answer to that?
**[05:41] Riku**
Kinosaka
**[05:41] Riku**
Soran
**[05:42] Riku**
More importantly, Kinosaka...
**[05:44] Riku**
At this rate, we'll face
them in the semifinals.
**[05:47] Riku**
We need a strategy to counter them.
**[05:49] Horyu**
Has Kinosaka always been this strong?
**[05:52] Tori**
No, they were total unknowns before.
**[05:55] Tori**
This might even be their
first time at the tournament.
**[05:58] Shotani**
Hey, wait...
**[05:59] Shotani**
Isn't Kinosaka basically
a hive of delinquents?
**[06:04] Tori**
Oh, yeah! Come to think of it,
**[06:07] Tori**
I heard it's full of problem kids
who keep getting trouble into trouble.
**[06:11] Shotani**
No wonder they never
made it to a tournament.
**[06:15] Horyu**
So why this year?
**[06:18] Shotani**
Maybe Rikkun's acquaintance
had something to do with it.
**[06:21] Tori**
Or it could have been the captain
who transformed the team... maybe?
**[06:26] Akira**
Tenkawa Shogo, huh?
**[06:30] Riku**
He might even be stronger than you.
**[06:34] Akira**
We won't know that until we face him.

Let's go win it! Give it all you've got!
**[06:54] All**
Yeah!
**[06:57] Tori**
Listen up. There's no need
for us to change our style.
**[07:11] Riku**
Arimura...
**[07:13] Arimura**
Looks like you remembered my name.
**[07:18] Riku**
What do you want?
**[07:21] Arimura**
I'm just here to do some reminiscing.
**[07:23] Arimura**
Oh, this is for you.
**[07:29] Horyu**
Oh, uh, thank you.
**[07:32] Tori**
Hey, what's going on?
**[07:35] Arimura**
Captain Fuyuhara, can I have
a word with Haruma-kun in private?
**[07:40] Riku**
I don't mind.
**[07:44] Tori**
We're in the middle of practice.
Just keep it brief, okay?
**[07:48] Arimura**
Thank you. Let's go over there.
**[07:52] Tenkawa**
You sure about this?
**[07:53] Arimura**
It'll be fine. You stay here, Tenkawa-kun.
**[08:02] Arimura**
It's been a while, Asamiya Riku-kun.
**[08:08] Riku**
It's Haruma now.
**[08:11] Riku**
Why are you even here?
**[08:16] Riku**
You're a chess player.
**[08:18] Riku**
What are you doing on
Kinosaka's rugby team?
**[08:21] Riku**
Answer me!
**[08:32] Arimura**
Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean any harm.
**[08:37] Arimura**
After all, I'm more surprised than anyone.
**[08:40] Arimura**
I suppose we should start
with how you and I first met.
**[08:50] Arimura**
You defeated your opponent in the
final of the chess tournament easily.
**[08:55] Arimura**
I was that opponent.
**[08:57] Arimura**
What stayed with me more than my defeat
was your expression.
**[09:03] Arimura**
I wondered how you could look at me
with so little emotion.
**[09:14] Arimura**
Then it hit me.
**[09:16] Arimura**
I'd failed to make any kind of
impression on you whatsoever.
**[09:21] Arimura**
I was frustrated.
**[09:23] Arimura**
My desire to defeat you verged on desperate.
**[09:28] Arimura**
But... I couldn't beat you.
**[09:33] Arimura**
You never once looked at my face.
**[09:43] Arimura**
And then... one day...
you just disappeared.
**[09:49] Arimura**
It was so sudden.
**[09:51] Arimura**
I searched for you.
**[09:55] Arimura**
That's when I found out who you really were.
**[10:04] Arimura**
The son of a celebrated rugby legend:
**[10:09] Arimura**
Asamiya Riku.
**[10:21] Akira**
Yo.
**[10:22] Akira**
If you're not doing anything, let's play.
**[10:43] Arimura**
The son of a celebrated rugby legend:
**[10:47] Arimura**
Asamiya Riku.
**[10:51] Arimura**
You quit rugby because of your physical
shortcomings and took up chess instead.
**[10:57] Arimura**
But chess could never replace rugby for you.
**[11:03] Arimura**
Am I right?
**[11:04] Riku**
Enough talk about me.
**[11:06] Riku**
What I want to know is why *you're* here.
**[11:10] Arimura**
Because of you.
**[11:13] Arimura**
Because you became a god.
**[11:18] Riku**
What?
**[11:19] Arimura**
You tasted bitter defeat.
**[11:22] Arimura**
Despair overwhelmed you, and you died.
**[11:26] Arimura**
But then... you got... right back up again.
**[11:31] Arimura**
You came back from the dead!
**[11:34] Arimura**
In other words, you became a god.
**[11:39] Riku**
*What's wrong with this guy?*
**[11:43] Riku**
I'm not a god.
**[11:46] Riku**
Sorry, but talk to someone else.
There's nothing I can do for you.
**[11:50] Arimura**
Oh, you don't have to *do* anything.
**[11:53] Arimura**
I came here to surpass you.
**[11:59] Arimura**
Back when you were dead,
I didn't stand a chance against you.
**[12:04] Arimura**
Since then, I've admired you from afar.
You've been my target.
**[12:09] Arimura**
Here, on the rugby field...
**[12:12] Arimura**
In the place that sets your soul aflame...
**[12:16] Arimura**
That's where I want to surpass Asamiya Riku.
**[12:23] Riku**
I don't know what you're babbling about.
**[12:27] Riku**
But I will tell you this...
**[12:30] Riku**
If you intend to stand in our way,
we'll show no mercy.
**[12:33] Arimura**
Yes! That's what I wanted to see!
**[12:36] Arimura**
The fire burning in your eyes!
**[12:39] Arimura**
A side of you I've never seen before!
**[12:42] Arimura**
I will... surpass you!
**[12:48] Horyu**
Riku-san!
**[12:49] Horyu**
Come quickly!
**[12:51] Horyu**
It's Akira-san!
**[12:58] Shotani**
Rikkun, you're back.
**[13:01] Shotani**
You've gotta stop Akkun.
**[13:03] Riku**
What happened?
**[13:05] Tori**
Akira picked a fight.
**[13:07] Tori**
He insisted on doing a one-on-one.
**[13:10] Tori**
I keep telling him not to cause trouble,
but he never listens.
**[13:20] Arimura**
Tenkawa-kun, accept his challenge.
**[13:23] Tenkawa**
You sure?
**[13:25] Arimura**
Watching Soran practice without showing
what we can do wouldn't be fair.
**[13:30] Arimura**
So if it's all right with them...
**[13:33] Riku**
There's no need for this.
**[13:34] Riku**
Don't engage in a pointless contest.
**[13:36] Akira**
They said they were okay with it.
**[13:39] Riku**
Don't give our next opponent the
chance to get the measure of you.
**[13:44] Akira**
Why not? At least let me
take one shot at beating him.
**[13:50] Tori**
Okay, just one go.
**[13:53] Akira**
Yeah! That's the spirit!
**[13:57] Riku**
But Captain!
**[13:59] Tori**
You're wasting your breath.
You know he won't listen.
**[14:06] Tori**
If he breaks through, Akira wins.
**[14:08] Tori**
If Akira's brought down, Tenkawa wins.
**[14:11] Tori**
Got it?
**[14:12] Akira**
Yeah.
**[14:14] Tenkawa**
Fine by me.
**[14:16] Tori**
Okay. Just don't hurt yourselves.
**[14:26] Akira**
I like that look in your eyes.
**[14:29] Akira**
Your one and only thought is
about how you're gonna stop me.
**[14:36] Akira**
But you know what?!
**[14:42] Akira**
You're wide open!
**[14:48] Tenkawa**
Gotta admit, you've got passion.
**[15:09] Horyu**
Akira-san... lost?
**[15:14] Tenkawa**
Arimura, let's go.
**[15:16] Arimura**
Sure thing.
**[15:22] Arimura**
Oh, Riku-kun. See you on the field.
**[15:37] Akira**
I lost...
**[15:43] Riku**
You don't look scared of him.
**[15:46] Akira**
The exact opposite.
**[15:49] Akira**
I'll become stronger by gobbling
him up and spitting him out.
**[15:55] Akira**
Tenkawa Shogo. He's my next prey.
**[16:05] Tori**
Tenkawa Shogo, huh?
**[16:08] Rando**
I can't believe how good he was.
**[16:11] Oguma**
He cleaned Kariya out with one arm.
**[16:15] Horyu**
He's strong.
**[16:17] Shotani**
But what are we going to do?
**[16:19] Shotani**
If Akkun can't beat him,
it'll be a really tough game, won't it?
**[16:25] Akira**
Don't sweat it. I'll beat him next time.
**[16:30] Shotani**
That's the spirit, Akkun.
Ever the optimist.
**[16:34] Riku**
But you're right.
It probably will be a struggle.
**[16:38] Akira**
You think I can't beat him?
Is that what you're saying?
**[16:43] Riku**
Of course I don't think that.
**[16:46] Riku**
I'll come up with a way to counter them.
**[16:48] Riku**
We're going to annihilate Kinosaka.
**[16:52] Tori**
You're right! There's no way we can lose now!
**[16:56] Rando**
Yeah, man.
**[16:57] Oguma**
Yup.
**[16:59] Shotani**
Too true. We're strong now, aren't we?
**[17:02] Horyu**
And we've been training hard.
**[17:04] Akira**
And I've gotta pay him back for earlier.
**[17:09] Tori**
All right! Let's beat Kinosaka
and go to the finals!
**[17:15] All**
Yeah!
**[17:21] Akira**
Hey, Riku.
**[17:25] Riku**
Akira...
**[17:27] Riku**
Why are you looking so happy?
**[17:28] Akira**
Isn't it obvious?
**[17:30] Akira**
Tenkawa Shogo. I'm excited I get to play him.
**[17:36] Riku**
But you lost to him today.
You're resilient, aren't you?
**[17:40] Akira**
He's my next prey, after all.
**[17:44] Riku**
The fact of the matter is,
**[17:47] Riku**
if you don't beat Tenkawa,
we haven't got a hope of winning.
**[18:00] Riku**
You're the only one strong enough
to withstand his physicality, Akira.
**[18:06] Akira**
I like the sound of that.
This guy's worth hunting.
**[18:11] Akira**
And what about you?
**[18:14] Akira**
Think you can handle Arimura?
**[18:17] Riku**
Honestly, I can't say for certain...
**[18:24] Riku**
But I'll come up with something.
**[18:27] Riku**
We have to beat Kinosaka
and go to the finals.
**[18:32] Akira**
What did you and Arimura talk about earlier?
**[18:37] Riku**
Nothing important.
**[18:39] Riku**
We just had a brief chat about the past.
**[18:42] Akira**
Something about chess, right?
**[18:46] Riku**
I used to play him a lot
in chess tournaments.
**[18:51] Riku**
We talked about that.
**[18:52] Akira**
Really? About how you used
to beat him, I'm guessing?
**[18:57] Riku**
Yeah. I never lost to him. Not even once.
**[19:02] Akira**
Not bad.
**[19:03] Akira**
Then we'll be fine against Kinosaka, too.
**[19:09] Riku**
It's not that simple.
**[19:12] Riku**
I mean, like chess,
rugby is a game of strategy, sure.
**[19:21] Riku**
But rugby and chess aren't the same.
**[19:27] Riku**
It'll take more than just
my own strength to win.
**[19:32] Riku**
It'll be tough out there.
**[19:35] Akira**
What are you talking about?
**[19:36] Akira**
Isn't that why I'm here?
**[19:39] Riku**
What?
**[19:40] Akira**
Didn't I tell you before that
I needed you in my corner?
**[19:46] Akira**
And you need me too, right?
**[19:50] (Flashback) Riku**
I will put a collar on you!
**[19:55] Akira**
Isn't that why you put a collar on me?
**[20:01] Riku**
You're right.
**[20:03] Riku**
Let's prove to them that my tactics
and your athleticism can beat them.
**[20:10] Akira**
Sounds good. Bring it on!
**[21:55] Akira**
You and that Arimura guy
are kinda similar, huh?
**[21:57] Riku**
I'm not that crazy.
**[21:59] Akira**
If you say so.
**[22:01] Riku**
Next time:

**[22:03] Akira**
He's my prey!

***SIGN*** Knock-on
**[22:08] Ogama**
This time, we're talking about knock-ons.
**[22:10] Ohata**
A knock-on is when a player
drops the ball forward,
**[22:14] Ohata**
resulting in a penalty to the other team.
**[22:16] Oguma**
Or when they whack the ball
forward with their hands or arms.
**[22:20] Horyu**
Or when the ball moves forward
after striking their hands or arms.
**[22:24] Oguma**
If the ball touches the ground or
another player before they can grab it again,
**[22:29] Oguma**
that's also a knock-on, so be careful.
**[22:32] Ohata**
It's a basic error in rugby, so don't forget.

**[00:09] Tori**
The semifinals.
**[00:11] Tori**
Just another stop on our journey.
**[00:17] Shotani**
After all, we're aiming to be champions.
Right, Rikkun?
**[00:22] Riku**
That's right. No matter who we're playing,
our only goal is victory.
**[00:26] Akira**
Tenkawa Shogo...
**[00:29] Riku**
Tenkawa isn't our only problem.
**[00:31] Riku**
Shikuniyama were undone by
Arimura's tactical prowess.
**[00:36] Akira**
Then... we'll crush him, too.
**[00:40] Riku**
Yeah, that's the idea.
**[00:42] Rando**
They're really up for it, aren't they?
**[00:45] Oguma**
Looks like they're overjoyed that
they're facing a strong opponent.
**[00:49] Horyu**
I-I'm so nervous, I can barely move.
**[00:54] Shotani**
Relax, relax.
**[00:57] Shotani**
Play your normal game, and you'll be fine.
**[01:01] Tori**
Kinosaka's strong.
**[01:03] Tori**
But we came here to win!
**[01:07] Tori**
Let's go!

Yeah!

Don't bother with that.
**[02:53] Riku**
Yeah, we don't need it.
**[02:56] Riku**
We'll take the kick-off.
**[02:57] Riku**
And you'll choose the ends. Right?
**[03:01] Arimura**
Naturally.
**[03:03] Arimura**
Well, let's have a good game.
**[03:12] Tori**
Our opponent's strong.
**[03:14] Tori**
But our sights are set higher than this game.
**[03:18] Tori**
Let's go out and beat them!
**[03:20] All**

Hey, that looks pretty sweet.
**[03:33] Arimura**
Tenkawa-kun, you should
do something like that.
**[03:45] Tenkawa**
We are leopards.
**[03:47] Tenkawa**
Keep your eyes on your prey.
**[03:49] Tenkawa**
Don't miss your opportunity.
**[03:50] Tenkawa**
Show no mercy.
**[03:53] Tenkawa**
Bare your fangs at them.
**[03:55] Tenkawa**
Let's go, Kinosaka Leopards!
**[03:58] All**
Yeah!
**[04:00] Arimura**
Well, the time has come, Asamiya Riku-kun.
**[04:05] Arimura**
Time for us to settle this.
**[04:17] Shotani**
Okay, let's stick to the plan.
**[04:29] Arimura**
Huh.
**[04:34] Shotani**
Yoinks!
**[04:43] Shotani**
And from here...
**[04:54] Shotani**
The fleet-footed thunderbolt, Soran's lock:
**[04:58] Shotani**
Shotani Pears Valentine.
**[05:03] Shotani**
Let's enjoy and excite, yeah?
**[05:21] Arimura**
I see, Riku-kun.
**[05:24] Arimura**
You sure know how to use your knight.
**[05:30] Arimura**
I know what you're thinking.
**[05:33] Arimura**
Kinosaka's strategy is to turn
it around in the second half.
**[05:37] Arimura**
That's why you want
to seize the initiative now.
**[05:41] Arimura**
But you know, Riku-kun, this development...
**[05:46] Arimura**
...falls within my expectations.
**[05:57] Shotani**
Here I come.
**[06:05] Shotani**
I've finally drawn him out.
**[06:10] Oguma**
Avoid a contest of strength!
**[06:12] Shotani**
I know, Kuma-chan-senpai!
**[06:20] Shotani**
But...
**[06:25] Shotani**
Strength doesn't come
into it if I run past him.
**[06:39] Horyu**
He stopped Shotani-san with one arm?
**[06:43] Tori**
He took him down even though
he was already past him!
**[06:47] Tenkawa**
You're light.
**[06:53] Riku**
Are you hurt?
**[06:55] Shotani**
No, I'm fine.
**[06:58] Shotani**
Sure took me by surprise, though.
**[07:01] Riku**
Yeah. He's a juggernaut.
**[07:05] Riku**
And he'll probably start
displaying his true strength now.
**[07:10] Referee**
Crouch!
**[07:12] Referee**

**[07:14] Referee**

**[07:21] Oguma**
*Th-This weight...*
**[07:24] Horyu**
*Such... pressure...*
**[07:27] Shotani**
*This is not good...*
**[07:37] Shotani**
You're not...
**[07:41] Shotani**
...walking all over us!
**[08:00] Horyu**
What even *is* he?
**[08:02] Horyu**
It feels like he could
beat all of us by himself.
**[08:06] Shotani**
You can't be serious!
**[08:08] Shotani**
There's no way rugby is that simple!
**[08:12] Riku**
You're right.
**[08:14] Riku**
No matter how big a problem
Tenkawa is for us, he's only one man.
**[08:19] Riku**
We'll pass him out of the game.
**[08:23] Shotani**
Okay. Let's show them how
multifaceted rugby can be!
**[08:29] Tori**
Riku.
**[08:33] Shotani**
Rikkun, over here!
**[08:46] Akira**
Yeah!
**[08:58] Arimura**
Of course you'd do that.
**[09:01] Arimura**
We can't handle both Shotani-kun and
Kariya-kun attacking simultaneously.
**[09:07] Arimura**
Or so you thought.
**[09:10] Arimura**
But the person moving the pieces...
**[09:14] Arimura**
...is me.
**[09:16] Arimura**
As long as I can predict all your attacks,
I can handle whatever you throw at me.
**[09:21] Akira**
*Here I come.*
**[09:28] Riku**
Akira!
**[09:44] Akira**
What?
**[09:46] Tenkawa**
Just thinking it's not like you to wimp out.
**[09:50] Akira**
I'm willing to stoop to this in order to win.
**[09:53] Akira**
But don't worry.
**[09:55] Akira**
I promise I'll knock you down.

You'll be playing in the second half.
**[10:14] Arimura**
Keep that in mind.
**[10:17] Hazama**
I'll get them.
**[10:22] Riku**
We'll start the second half with *that* play.
**[10:28] Both**
*The real game starts now.*
**[10:47] Hazama**
Once this is over,
I'll settle my score with you.
**[10:55] Hazama**
I'll be the leader of the pack once more.
**[11:01] Hazama**
Until then, I'll have some fun with you guys.
**[11:07] Riku**
What do you make of him?
**[11:09] Akira**
He's got an ominous aura.
**[11:17] Riku**
We should be careful.
**[11:20] LEFT**
Soran
**[11:20] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[11:26] Hazama**
You're first up on the block.
**[11:42] Shotani**
What do you think you're doing?!
**[11:45] Riku**
No, don't, Shotani.
**[11:47] Hazama**
What are you getting excited for?
**[11:49] Hazama**
I just bumped into him, that's all.
**[11:51] Shotani**
I'm talking about before that.
**[11:54] Hazama**
It's nothing to start bawling about.
**[11:57] Hazama**
Or are you all weaklings?
**[12:03] Tenkawa**
You sure about this?
**[12:05] Arimura**
We need his dirty play.
**[12:08] Tenkawa**
If you say so.
**[12:13] Tenkawa**
Can we win?
**[12:15] Arimura**
Of course we can.
**[12:17] Arimura**
I dreamed of this moment when I knocked
on the rugby team's door that day...
**[12:28] (Flashback) Arimura**
Let me join the rugby team.
**[12:32] (Flashback) All**
What?
**[12:33] (Flashback) Arimura**
I'm not a player.
**[12:35] (Flashback) Arimura**
But I can help you win
with my tactical knowledge.
**[12:40] (Flashback) Arimura**
So let me join the rugby team.
**[12:47] (Flashback) Hazama**
We don't need you. Get lost.
**[12:54] (Flashback) Arimura**
Go on, do it.
**[12:55] (Flashback) Hazama**
What?
**[12:57] (Flashback) Arimura**
But that won't stop me wanting to join.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Arimura**
I'll join the rugby team
and use you to beat *him*.
**[13:06] (Flashback) Arimura**
That's the path I've chosen.
**[13:10] (Flashback) Hazama**
How about I test your resolve?
**[13:15] (Flashback) Tenkawa**
Wait.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Hazama**
Tenkawa.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Tenkawa**
Fighting is not allowed.
**[13:22] (Flashback) Tenkawa**
I told you that.
**[13:29] (Flashback) Arimura**
I wouldn't have minded getting hit.
**[13:33] (Flashback) Arimura**
If it will guilt you into
letting me join, swing away.
**[13:41] (Flashback) Tenkawa**
What do you want?
**[13:43] (Flashback) Arimura**
I told you.
**[13:46] (Flashback) Arimura**
To surpass *him*,
now that he's taken up rugby again.
**[13:52] (Flashback) Tenkawa**
Gotta admit, you've got passion.
**[14:02] Hazama**
Yeah!
**[14:04] LEFT**
Soran
**[14:04] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[14:08] Riku**
We'll use *that* play.
**[14:11] Shotani**
Great! I've been waiting for you to say that.
**[14:15] Shotani**
He's the one who's given them momentum.
**[14:18] Shotani**
That play is the only one
that can curb his fouling.
**[14:23] Oguma**
You're right. It'll be harder for him
to commit fouls if we team up.
**[14:28] Riku**
It's on you.
**[14:31] Oguma**
You can count on me.
**[14:42] Riku**
All right.
**[14:46] Oguma**
Here we go!
**[14:50] Hazama**
You're coming my way?
**[15:01] Oguma**
Shotani-kun!
**[15:10] Hazama**
I-Is this... a maul?
**[15:24] Oguma**
It's not over yet. Let's go!
**[15:29] Tenkawa**
What?
**[15:30] Hazama**
No way...
**[15:34] Riku**
* Oguma-senpai has always supported*
* everyone from the middle of the scrum.*
**[15:39] Riku**
* That's why he knows how to push*
* and how to unite a team.*
**[15:45] Riku**
*So... think you can stop this?*
**[16:03] Shotani**
We did it, Kuma-chan-senpai!
**[16:08] Player**
All right.
**[16:09] Arimura**
That was your ace in the hole, Riku-kun?
**[16:14] Arimura**
But that tactic won't work against me twice.
**[16:25] Oguma**
Shotani-kun!
**[16:32] Tori**
You can't be serious!
**[16:41] Rando**
They're quick to respond.
**[16:59] Arimura**
I watched you.
I've always been watching you.
**[17:02] Arimura**
I know every play you'll make.
**[17:09] Arimura**
This is checkmate, Riku-kun!
**[17:12] LEFT**
Soran
**[17:12] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[17:17] Tori**
We've kept the score to within a try.
**[17:22] Oguma**
But we've hardly scored since
the second half kicked off.
**[17:27] Shotani**
What should we do, Rikkun?
**[17:30] Riku**
It's all right. I expected this.
**[17:36] Riku**
I know what Arimura's strategy is.
**[17:40] Riku**
We'll start our comeback now.
Listen to my new strategy.
**[17:44] Riku**
I'll give the signal.
**[17:54] Riku**
Now!
**[17:56] Arimura**
There it is.
**[17:58] Tori**
Horyu!
**[17:59] Horyu**
Got it!
**[18:19] Arimura**
They missed out Riku-kun?
**[18:25] Hazama**
You're not going anywhere!
**[18:27] Shotani**
Whoopsy!
**[18:31] Arimura**
They're excluding Riku-kun from the play?
**[18:39] Riku**
Arimura, let me teach you the
difference between chess and rugby.
**[18:44] Riku**
Your teammates aren't pawns.
**[18:47] Arimura**
This was supposed to be
a battle between you and me!
**[18:51] Riku**
That's why you lost.
**[18:53] Riku**
The ball can move forward
without me touching it.
**[19:05] Arimura**
What? Tenkawa-kun, why?
**[19:09] Tenkawa**
I knew they'd bet on you in the end.
**[19:14] Akira**
I knew you would challenge me,
if no one else.
**[19:21] (Flashback) Akira**
Does this mean I can do what I like?
**[19:27] (Flashback) Riku**
Yeah. I believe...
**[19:32] (Flashback) Riku**
...in your strength.
**[19:36] Akira**
I... win!
**[19:45] LEFT**
Soran
**[19:45] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[19:49] Tori**
You did it!
**[19:52] Oguma**
I can't believe he beat Tenkawa-san.
**[19:55] Shotani**
Ah, I knew he could do it.
**[20:00] Riku**
Just like we planned it.
**[20:02] Akira**
Never in doubt.
**[21:40] Riku**
We beat Kinosaka.
**[21:41] Akira**
Only one opponent remains.
**[21:43] Riku**
Let's win.
**[21:44] Riku**
Next time:
***SIGN*** m 0 0 s 100 0 100 100 0 100 c
***SIGN*** Soran and Sekirei
**[21:45] Both**
"Soran and Sekirei!"
**[21:47] Riku**
The time has come to prove ourselves.
***SIGN*** Try Knights
***SIGN*** Rugby Lesson!!
**[21:51] Both**
Try Knights!
**[21:52] Ohata**
Rugby Lesson!
***SIGN*** Forward Pass
***SIGN*** Forward Pass
**[21:55] Arimura**
This time, we're talking
about forward passes.
**[21:58] Riku**
Yeah.
**[22:00] Ohata**
A forward pass is an illegal pass
committed when the ball is thrown forward.
**[22:08] Arimura**
In rugby, you can't
throw the ball forward.
**[22:12] Arimura**
If you do, it's a foul.
**[22:15] Riku**
By "forward," we mean towards
your opponent's dead ball line.
**[22:23] Riku**
Passing it sideways isn't
considered a forward pass.
**[22:27] Arimura**
That's right.
**[22:30] Ohata**
It's an important rule,
so don't forget it.

**[00:09] Arimura**
Huh? Tenkawa-kun, why?
**[00:15] (Flashback) Akira**
Does this mean I can do what I like?
**[00:20] (Flashback) Riku**
Yeah. I believe...
**[00:25] (Flashback) Riku**
...in your strength.
**[00:29] Akira**
I... win!
**[00:34] LEFT**
Soran
**[00:34] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[00:44] Arimura**
No...
**[00:47] Arimura**
This match was supposed to settle things
between Riku-kun and me...
**[01:05] Arimura**
I see.
**[01:07] Tenkawa**
Arimura.
**[01:11] Tenkawa**
I'm sorry.
**[01:14] Arimura**
It's fine.
**[01:18] Arimura**
I'm the one who should apologize.
**[01:41] Arimura**
Riku-kun.
**[01:43] Arimura**
Looks like you won.
**[01:48] Riku**
Yeah.
**[01:52] Arimura**
Could I ask you for a favor?
***SIGN*** m 0 0 s 100 0 100 100 0 100 c
***SIGN*** Soran and Sekirei
**[03:37] Riku**
It should be around here.
**[03:39] Akira**
Hey, isn't that them?
**[03:49] Arimura**
Hey. Thanks for coming, you two.
**[03:51] Riku**
We have the day off, so it's okay.
**[03:54] Arimura**
That's good, then.
**[03:56] Riku**
Anyway, why'd you call us out here today?
**[03:58] Arimura**
There's something I wanted
to discuss with you.
**[04:01] Riku**
With us?
**[04:03] Arimura**
Yeah.
**[04:06] Arimura**
Watch out in the game against Sekirei.
**[04:10] Arimura**
There was one tactic
I couldn't employ in our game.
**[04:13] Arimura**
But Asamiya Reo will
definitely use it against you.
**[04:18] Riku**
You're right. We'll come up a way to counter.
**[04:23] Arimura**
Sorry. My intention wasn't
to make you anxious.
**[04:28] Riku**
I know.
**[04:30] Riku**
I'm under no illusion about
how tough it will be to beat them.
**[04:36] Arimura**
Yeah, it will.
**[04:39] Arimura**
Riku-kun, could the two
of us speak in private?
**[04:43] Riku**
I don't mind.
**[04:45] Akira**
Sure, fine by me.
**[04:48] Arimura**
Thank you. Later, Tenkawa-kun.
**[04:51] Tenkawa**
Yeah.
**[04:54] Riku**
What did you want to discuss?
**[04:56] Arimura**
It's about yesterday's game.
**[04:59] Riku**
The game?
**[05:04] Arimura**
I was utterly defeated.
**[05:08] Arimura**
You saw right through me.
**[05:11] Arimura**
I *did* only see my teammates as pawns.
**[05:18] Arimura**
But... you see the game differently.
**[05:22] Arimura**
You put your faith in your teammates.
**[05:27] Arimura**
That's the reason I lost.
**[05:31] Arimura**
I couldn't beat you at rugby, either.
**[05:38] Riku**
Arimura...
**[05:40] Arimura**
I thought I only needed to
outwit you to win the game.
**[05:44] Arimura**
But that's not how rugby works.
**[05:47] Riku**
Yeah. That's what makes rugby so interesting.
**[05:51] Riku**
Your teammates do stuff without your input.
**[05:54] Riku**
That's why you can put your faith in them.
**[05:58] Riku**
That's what he taught me.
**[06:02] Arimura**
Tenkawa-kun taught me
that too, in the end.
**[06:11] Arimura**
Riku-kun, can I ask you something?
**[06:15] Riku**
What is it?
**[06:16] Arimura**
Your team's final play.
**[06:20] Arimura**
Why did you choose *that* play?
**[06:28] Arimura**
I understand you have
faith in your teammates.
**[06:32] Arimura**
That's why you trusted one
to bring home the win.
**[06:37] Arimura**
But you also cast aside your
greatest weapon: your tactics.
**[06:43] Arimura**
Due to your small stature, your tactical
play is your only means of survival.
**[06:49] Arimura**
So tell me: why did you make that choice?
**[06:54] Arimura**
How were you able to just
throw tactics out the window?
**[07:01] Riku**
I don't know.
**[07:02] Arimura**
What?
**[07:04] Riku**
You summed it up well.
**[07:06] Riku**
For me, that final play was do or die.
**[07:11] Arimura**
Then... why?
**[07:15] Riku**
You knew every play I had at my disposal.
**[07:19] Riku**
Whatever tactic I used, you would
have countered and won the game.
**[07:24] Riku**
That's why I did what I did.
**[07:26] Riku**
I did it to beat you.
**[07:29] Riku**
I had to put my faith in
my teammates to win it.
**[07:32] Riku**
But...
**[07:35] Riku**
Honestly, I even surprised myself.
**[07:38] Riku**
I can't believe I did that.
**[07:46] Arimura**
Sorry, sorry.
**[07:47] Arimura**
I see. So you even surprised yourself, huh?
**[07:51] Arimura**
You must really trust your team.
**[07:55] Arimura**
And I overlooked that. It's no wonder I lost.
**[08:06] Tenkawa**
I lost yesterday.
**[08:10] Akira**
Yup. I won.
**[08:13] Tenkawa**
That's the first time
I've lost a contest of strength.
**[08:16] Akira**
Not bad, huh?
**[08:21] Tenkawa**
Yeah. I had no idea the need
for revenge could burn so hot.
**[08:26] Akira**
Bring it on. But don't go
thinking I won't fight back.
**[08:39] Arimura**
Thanks for coming today.
**[08:41] Riku**
It's no big deal.
**[08:44] Arimura**
Truth is, there's something
I wanted to tell you.
**[08:50] Arimura**
Next time, I'll be on the field.
**[08:54] Arimura**
And next time, I'll beat you.
**[08:58] Arimura**
Check that. I'll beat Soran.
**[09:01] Riku**
You won't beat us next time, either.
**[09:04] Akira**
Bring it on.
**[09:07] Arimura**
See you on the field next time.
**[09:10] Riku**
Yeah.
**[09:17] Riku**
Bye.
**[09:20] Arimura**
Riku-kun!
**[09:25] Riku**
It's fine.
**[09:27] Riku**
See you.
**[09:32] Tenkawa**
You're still worried?
**[09:34] Arimura**
I suppose I am.
**[09:36] Arimura**
Their game against Sekirei
will be difficult for him.
**[09:53] Akira**
Hey, what's this tactic Reo might use?
**[09:57] Riku**
I can imagine what it might be,
but it's my problem to deal with.
**[10:01] Riku**
It's fine. Let me worry about it.
**[10:03] Akira**
I see. All good, then.
**[10:23] Akira**
Seiichiro?
**[10:25] Riku**
Nada-san?
**[10:27] Riku**
H-Hey!
**[10:29] Nada**
That was a nice pass.
**[10:35] Nada**
Akira?
**[10:44] Nada**
What are you doing here?
**[10:46] Akira**
Let's go!
**[10:54] Akira**
It's been a while, Seiichiro!
**[11:01] MOB**
What's going on?
**[11:03] Riku**
What are you doing?!
**[11:06] Nada**
Riku.
**[11:08] MOB**
There's two of them now.
**[11:09] MOB**
Who are these guys?
**[11:10] Nada**
Sorry. They're here to see me.
**[11:27] Riku**
Thank you.
**[11:33] Nada**
I didn't think you guys would come by here.
**[11:37] Riku**
It's pure coincidence.
**[11:38] Riku**
But, Nada-san, I thought
you were still injured.
**[11:41] Akira**
Doesn't playing here mean you're all better?
**[11:44] Akira**
You wouldn't have been able
to take me down if you weren't.
**[11:48] Nada**
Yeah, I'm 90 percent of the way there.
**[11:52] Nada**
I asked them to let me practice here
as part of my rehabilitation.
**[11:56] Riku**
I see.
**[11:58] Akira**
Then why don't you come play with us instead?
**[12:03] Riku**
There's a reason he can't return.
**[12:05] Riku**
Isn't that right?
**[12:10] Nada**
I nearly stole the future
of Tori and his friends.
**[12:13] Akira**
What do you mean by that?
**[12:17] Nada**
I wanted to make the team
stronger as its captain.
**[12:20] Nada**
Together, we would stand victorious.
**[12:23] Nada**
That was the philosophy that drove me
when I captained the team.
**[12:27] Nada**
On top of that, Soran has
a long history in the sport.
**[12:31] Nada**
I didn't want to tarnish its reputation.
**[12:35] Nada**
I was at my wit's end every day,
trying to improve the team.
**[12:39] Nada**
But everyone still placed their trust in me.
**[12:44] Riku**
Oguma-san told me when you took over
the captaincy, everyone was full of hope.
**[12:50] Nada**
I see. I appreciate that.
**[12:54] Nada**
It's true that the team got stronger.
**[12:57] Nada**
Strong enough to hold
our own against Sekirei.
**[13:01] Nada**
At the Sekirei game last year,
we were full of confidence.
**[13:06] Nada**
With the team we had, we could beat Sekirei.
**[13:10] Nada**
Everyone believed it.
**[13:12] Nada**
But Sekirei... Or rather,
Asamiya Reo taught me a hard lesson.
**[13:20] Nada**
I learned just how much I'd made
the team dependent on me.
**[13:32] Nada**
Asamiya Reo knew that.
**[13:35] Nada**
That's why he focused
all his attention on me.
**[13:53] Nada**
The moment I fell,
the team's spirit was broken.
**[13:57] Nada**
And sadly, we lost to Sekirei.
**[14:04] Nada**
It came as a shock.
**[14:06] Nada**
Not so much my injury,
but the fact our team lost.
**[14:10] Riku**
Nada-san...
**[14:14] Nada**
But what shocked me most...
**[14:17] Nada**
was how many members quit
after learning of my condition.
**[14:30] Nada**
So I decided against coming back.
**[14:34] Nada**
If I did, everything would
revert back to how it was.
**[14:37] Nada**
I didn't want to do that
to Tori and the others.
**[14:41] Akira**
What kind of reason is that?!
**[14:43] Akira**
It wasn't your fault at all!
**[14:47] Nada**
It's not as simple as all that, anyway.
**[14:50] Nada**
*You* get what I mean, don't you?
**[14:54] Nada**
Your tactics restrict the team.
**[14:57] Nada**
Haven't you ever felt that?
**[15:03] Nada**
And if that's true...
**[15:04] Akira**
It's not.
**[15:07] Akira**
We may go all "tactical"
at times, but I'm still me.
**[15:10] Akira**
I do what I want.
**[15:15] Riku**
We have guys like him on the team.
**[15:18] Nada**
I see how it is.
**[15:20] Riku**
The captain and his friends
are in a different place now.
**[15:23] Riku**
Their heads are held high,
and they're waiting for you to return.
**[15:28] Riku**
Come see our game against Sekirei.
**[15:32] Riku**
Please.
**[15:37] Nada**
Fine. I will.
**[15:41] Riku**
Thank you.
**[15:46] Riku**
Sekirei
Academy
**[16:05] Kiriya**
*I see.*
**[16:10] Kiriya**
This one is all yours.
**[16:15] Aoba**
There!
**[16:22] Kiriya**
Your kicks are as accurate as ever.
**[16:25] Aoba**
Naturally.
**[16:29] Setsuya**
Captain!
**[16:41] Setsuya**
Impressive like always, my lord!
**[16:55] Suruga**
The final is tomorrow.
**[16:57] Suruga**
Is everyone suitably prepared?
**[17:01] Setsuya**
Why, of course.
**[17:04] Aoba**
Naturally.
**[17:06] Kiriya**
No concerns over here.
**[17:09] Reo**
We shall do what we always do:
crush our opponent with all our might.
**[17:14] Reo**
No more needs to be said.
**[17:22] Suruga**
We should be fine.
**[17:27] Reo**
What is it?
**[17:29] Suruga**
Does the prospect of facing
your brother trouble you?
**[17:33] Reo**
No. It changes nothing.
**[17:36] Reo**
I will simply give it my all and beat him.
**[17:40] Suruga**
Sounds like you.
**[17:42] Reo**
Besides, there is a fatal hole in his tactics.
**[17:48] Suruga**
A hole?
**[17:50] Reo**
Riku, you do not belong here.
**[18:03] Riku**
This is the only way, huh?
**[18:05] Akira**
If it ain't Riku.
**[18:09] Riku**
Akira? What is it?
**[18:11] Akira**
Oh, I'm not here for any particular reason.
**[18:16] Riku**
What's with the grin?
**[18:18] Akira**
Oh, nothing. Just figured
I'd find you out here.
**[18:25] Riku**
What does that mean?
**[18:33] Riku**
Come to think of it...
**[18:36] Riku**
You said before there was
someone you wanted to beat.
**[18:40] Akira**
Yeah. There is.
**[18:44] Riku**
So... who is it?
**[18:48] Akira**
Asamiya Reo. Your older brother.
**[18:53] Riku**
Because he's the best player around?
**[18:57] Akira**
No, to avenge Seiichiro.
**[19:02] Akira**
When I was in middle school,
he got me to join the rugby team.
**[19:07] Akira**
Before that, I spent all my time
hanging around my grandpa.
**[19:14] Akira**
If it wasn't for Seiichiro, I wouldn't be here.
**[19:18] Akira**
So I wanted to avenge him.
**[19:23] Riku**
You "wanted"?
**[19:28] Akira**
It's all different now.
**[19:30] Akira**
I just want to beat strong
opponents now. That's all.
**[19:35] Akira**
After all, that's what I do.
**[19:39] Riku**
Sounds like you.
**[19:44] Riku**
Asamiya Reo is the strongest
out there, no doubt about it.
**[19:50] Riku**
So to face him, I present
you with my final tactic.
**[19:59] Riku**
That tactic is...
**[20:07] Tori**
It's time.
**[20:08] Tori**
Is everyone ready?
**[20:10] All**
Yeah!
**[20:12] Tori**
All right.
**[20:17] Tori**
Let's go!
**[20:19] All**
Yeah!
**[21:55] Riku**
The Sekirei game.
**[21:56] Akira**
We can win this, right?
**[21:57] Riku**
I wouldn't have returned if we couldn't.
**[22:00] Akira**
Next time:
**[22:00] Both**
m 0 0 s 100 0 100 100 0 100 c
**[22:00] Both**
Confidence and Trust
**[22:00] Both**
"Confidence and Trust!"
**[22:02] Riku**
We'll show them Soran's strength.
**[22:05] Both**

**[22:09] Nada**
This time, we're covering tackling.
**[22:11] Akira**
You taught me how to tackle, too.
**[22:15] Nada**
You tackle when you want to
stop the ball carrier in his tracks.
**[22:20] Ohata**
When the ball carrier has been grabbed and
hauled to the ground, the tackle is complete.
**[22:25] Nada**
A tackle is considered incomplete
if the ball carrier stays on his feet.
**[22:30] Akira**
And you're not allowed to tackle
players who don't have the ball.
**[22:35] Nada**
Tackling's the best part of rugby,
***SIGN*** Tackling
**[22:38] Nada**
but flying at each other
can be dangerous.
**[22:40] Ohata**
Follow the rules and be safe.

**[02:52] Tori**
We're finally here.
**[03:00] Tori**
Last year, we lost something important.
**[03:05] Tori**
But we didn't come here just to find it again.
**[03:13] Tori**
We've made it out of the darkness.
**[03:17] Tori**
So what's left for us?
**[03:20] Tori**
The Big Three isn't enough.
**[03:22] Tori**
We'll become the best around!
**[03:24] Tori**
We soar into the azure!
We glide through every storm!
**[03:29] Tori**
Let's go, Soran!
**[03:31] All**
Azul Nova!
**[03:37] Suruga**
They seem rather excited.
**[03:39] Kiriya**
Whether they are or not,
they will not beat us.
**[03:42] Aoba**
Victory comes naturally to us.
And we play attractive rugby.
**[03:47] Suruga**
So...
**[03:49] Suruga**
What words does our captain have for us?
**[03:52] Reo**
We have mapped out how we will win this.
All that is left is to execute the plan.
**[03:57] Reo**
Setsuya.
**[03:58] Setsuya**
Yes, sir.
**[04:00] Reo**
The first play is yours.
**[04:03] Setsuya**
As you wish.
**[04:04] Setsuya**
Sekirei
**[04:04] Setsuya**
Soran
**[04:10] Reo**
With our crimson blades and
champion spirit, all fall before us.
**[04:18] Reo**
Let us take to the field,
Sekirei Rote Ritters.
**[04:23] All**
For victory!
**[04:34] Reo**
I heard you made waves in the chess world.
**[04:39] Riku**
I'm surprised you know about that.
**[04:43] Reo**
What made you stop playing?
**[04:46] Riku**
No matter how many games I won,
I was never satisfied.
**[04:49] Riku**
That's all.
**[04:51] Riku**
And this guy made me realize something.
**[04:59] Riku**
Playing rugby
**[05:01] Riku**
is the only way I can
make you eat your words.
**[05:05] Reo**
Surely you have not forgotten
that old scar? The despair you felt?
**[05:11] Riku**
I've returned to the field in order
to erase all trace of that scar.
**[05:16] Reo**
You still fail to understand?
There is no path open to you here.
**[05:21] Riku**
I will show you my answer
to that during the game.
**[05:28] Riku**
With the help of
the Soran High School Rugby Team.
**[05:46] Setsuya**
Well, then. Time to get revenge for
the last time we faced each other.
**[05:57] Reo**
Setsuya.
**[05:58] Setsuya**
C-Captain?
**[06:01] Reo**
The plan has changed.
I shall take the ball first.
**[06:05] Setsuya**
Very well, sir.
**[06:08] Reo**
I will put your words to the test, Riku.
**[06:17] Setsuya**
*Beautiful, my lord...*
**[06:24] Reo**
Too slow.
**[06:37] Rando**
There!
**[06:41] Reo**
How weak.
**[06:52] Reo**
And that is our first try.
**[07:12] Suruga**
Your verdict on their team?
**[07:15] Suruga**
They made it this far.
**[07:17] Suruga**
They must be better than
the rabble we faced getting here.
**[07:20] Reo**
Too early to judge.
**[07:23] Reo**
But however good they are, we will win.
**[07:25] Kiriya**
Well said.
**[07:27] Kiriya**
I shall carry the ball next.
**[07:33] Reo**
If you think you can beat them, do so.
That will be our game plan.
**[07:37] Reo**
Each of you show them your strength.
**[07:39] Reo**
We do not need to match them for pace.
**[07:42] Suruga**
Use your own judgment.
**[07:44] Suruga**
Make a beeline for their try line.
**[07:46] Kiriya**
All right.
**[07:47] Aoba**
Understood.
**[08:00] Kiriya**
Your team lacks balance and depth.
**[08:08] Kiriya**
A walk in the park.
**[08:16] Kiriya**
Naturally.
**[08:19] Referee**
Crouch!
**[08:21] Referee**
Bind!
**[08:22] Referee**
Set!
**[08:36] Suruga**
Weak.
**[08:42] Tori**
We can't tell where
they're going to attack the line.
**[08:52] Riku**
That must mean any of their players
can attack from anywhere.
**[08:57] Shotani**
Seriously?
**[08:58] Oguma**
It's okay. I'll stop them if they come my way.
**[09:02] Rando**
Yeah. And anyway, we just
need to score more than they do.
**[09:07] Horyu**
I'm amazed you can say that
when we're up against Sekirei.
**[09:13] Akira**
I don't care who they are.
All we have to do is win.
**[09:17] Shotani**
Yeah. As we're here, we might
as well have some fun, right?
**[09:23] Riku**
Keep your heads and even the score.
**[09:26] Tori**
Yeah. Let's go!
**[09:27] All**
Yeah!
**[09:37] Shotani**
Rikkun!
**[09:43] Setsuya**
Oh?
**[09:50] Setsuya**
You have no passing options.
**[10:00] Rando**
Here I come.
**[10:06] Shotani**
Nice.
**[10:08] Setsuya**
You will not get very far.
**[10:16] Shotani**
If there are more guys over this side...
**[10:20] Shotani**
Whoop!
**[10:23] Shotani**
It means Akkun's open.
**[10:32] Tori**
Yes!
**[10:34] Riku**
Keep up the good work.
**[10:42] Aoba**
Charge straight toward them.
**[10:44] Shotani**
You're underestimating us.
**[10:49] Aoba**
What a feeble tackle.
**[10:56] Oguma**
I'm also here.
**[11:00] Aoba**
*To change direction now would be unsightly.*
**[11:05] Aoba**
*However...*
**[11:09] Aoba**
* Being hauled to the ground*
* would be even more unsightly.*
**[11:18] Aoba**
Allow me to declare myself victorious.
**[11:27] Aoba**
His aura is oppressive.

Soran
**[12:06] Riku**
You're right.
**[12:09] Horyu**
Everyone on their team is really good.
**[12:14] Riku**
We're equally as good.
We're running in tries, too.
**[12:18] Horyu**
You're right! We can keep pace with them.
**[12:21] Tori**
Of course we can.
**[12:47] Suruga**
Sekirei
**[12:47] Suruga**
Soran
**[12:49] Suruga**
Sekirei
**[12:49] Suruga**
Soran
**[12:52] Suruga**
They seem like a different team
than the one they were until last year.
**[12:55] Reo**
They have not changed all that much.
**[12:57] Suruga**
Are you sure? To me, it seems like
their minds and bodies have matured.
**[13:04] Reo**
We shall see if that is truly the case.
**[13:08] Suruga**
You must have a plan.
**[13:10] Reo**
Preparations have been made.
**[13:14] Reo**
All that remains is to finish it.
**[13:17] Suruga**
Finish it?
**[13:22] Reo**
We will change our tactics
in the second half.
**[13:39] Reo**
That is all.
**[13:47] Akira**
You look exhausted.
**[13:49] Akira**
Are you okay?
**[13:51] Riku**
Yeah, I'm all good.
**[13:53] Akira**
You're excited for once.
**[13:55] Riku**
We're fighting an opponent I *have* to beat.
**[13:58] Riku**
Of course I'm excited.
**[14:01] Akira**
Yeah, man, right on.
**[14:04] Akira**
We're gonna beat 'em.
**[14:06] Riku**
Let's catch them up in the second half.
**[14:09] Akira**
Gotcha. You can count on me.
**[14:32] Reo**
Not a single thing
**[14:34] Reo**
has changed.
**[14:38] Reo**
Not since that time.
**[14:40] Riku**
I've become... stronger.
**[14:47] Riku**
Strong enough to stand back up.
**[14:49] Reo**
Which is the same as not changing at all.
**[14:52] Reo**
At this rate, you will end up
leaving the field on a stretcher.
**[15:06] Reo**
You must understand that.
**[15:07] Reo**
Soran's greatest weakness
is your physical deficiencies.
**[15:21] Kiriya**
All right, let us put this plan into action.
**[15:30] Kiriya**
Too slow.
**[15:39] All**
Riku!
**[15:43] Horyu**
Are you okay, Riku-san?
**[15:48] Riku**
I'm fine.
**[15:50] Tori**
They're deliberately targeting Riku.
**[15:52] Rando**
These guys are crafty.
**[15:55] Riku**
It'll be easier to counter their
strategy now we know that.
**[15:59] Shotani**
Are you saying we should
just *let* them go for you?
**[16:02] Oguma**
There's no way we can do that.
**[16:05] Riku**
No.
**[16:07] Riku**
Not knowing their strategy
would make our job more difficult.
**[16:10] Akira**
You mean, you expected this?
**[16:13] Riku**
Yeah.
**[16:14] Akira**
Then let's keep doing what we're doing.
**[16:17] Akira**
Riku says everything's
going according to plan.
**[16:21] Akira**
There's no way we can lose.
**[16:23] Horyu**
Akira-san...
**[16:25] Tori**
All right. Keep giving the ball to Riku.
**[16:29] All**
Yeah!
**[16:46] Suruga**
Not bad.
**[16:52] Setsuya**
My lord entrusted me with this strategy.
**[17:02] Riku**
Come at me.
**[17:07] Setsuya**
So light.
**[17:09] Tori**
Don't mess with us!
**[17:22] Tori**
Are you okay, Riku?!
**[17:25] Riku**
I'm... fine.
**[17:30] Tori**
Riku!
**[17:31] Riku**
I'm fine.
**[17:33] Riku**
Let's take the ball from them.
**[17:38] Arimura**
As I thought...
**[17:41] Arimura**
This *was* their plan.
**[17:43] Tenkawa**
They're targeting their key player.
**[17:46] Tenkawa**
It's an effective strategy,
but one you didn't use.
**[17:51] Arimura**
I wanted to win the tactical battle
and beat Riku-kun that way.
**[17:56] Tenkawa**
Would you have used it otherwise?
**[17:59] Arimura**
Nope, never. Normally, it would
be countered immediately.
**[18:03] Arimura**
After all, they know who you're going for.
**[18:07] Tenkawa**
So why aren't Soran countering it?
**[18:10] Arimura**
They are. That's why they're scoring tries.
**[18:12] RIGHT**
Soran
**[18:12] LEFT**
Sekirei

Sekirei

Soran
**[18:15] Arimura**
Sekirei are focused on Riku-kun,
ignoring how many points it's costing them.
**[18:21] Tenkawa**
They took the lead?
**[18:23] Arimura**
As long as Riku-kun can withstand
the punishment, his team can score.
**[18:31] Tenkawa**
The problem is what comes after.
**[18:36] Arimura**
What will you do, Riku-kun?
**[18:41] Tori**
Riku. Riku. Riku!
**[18:46] Tori**
Riku!
**[18:51] Riku**
Captain.
**[18:53] Tori**
Seriously... You won't see
out the match like this.
**[18:58] Riku**
I can... keep it up.
**[19:02] Riku**
Besides...
**[19:03] Tori**
Besides what?
**[19:17] Reo**
Using yourself as bait so that your team
can score. I commend you for that.
**[19:22] Riku**
I don't see it as something praiseworthy.
I have simply steeled my resolve.
**[19:27] Reo**
Resolve by itself is not enough.
**[19:31] Riku**
Of course it isn't.
**[19:32] Riku**
I'm not trying to beat you
through resolve alone, Brother.
**[19:35] Reo**
I shall say it again: there is
no path open to you here.
**[19:41] Riku**
No, Brother, I...
**[20:02] Reo**
Goodbye, Riku.
**[21:40] Akira**
Riku, let's leave Asamiya Reo in our dust!
**[21:43] Riku**
Yeah. We'll go on to the next challenge.

**[21:55] Riku**
This time, we're talking
about rucks and mauls.
**[21:58] Riku**
A ruck is when a number of
standing players from both teams
**[22:03] Riku**
make physical contact with each
other to contest a grounded ball.
**[22:08] Reo**
After the ball carrier has been
tackled and has released the ball,
**[22:12] Reo**
players from both teams grapple
with each other to claim it.
**[22:16] Riku**
A ruck occurs when standing players
on both teams push against one another.
**[22:22] Ohata**
Next up: the maul.
**[22:25] Riku**
A maul is when the ball carrier
stays on his feet after a tackle,
**[22:28] Riku**
and teammates prop him up
and try to move the ball forward.
**[22:33] Riku**
Rucks and mauls are
important techniques in rugby.
**[22:37] Ohata**
You'll see plenty of both in the World Cup,
so keep your eyes peeled!

Sekirei

Soran
**[01:49] Riku**
They haven't pulled ahead.

Come on. We can't embarrass
ourselves in front of Riku.

As planned, their fly-half
has left the field.
**[02:56] Kiriya**
It's now our turn to score a bucketload.

Weak.
**[03:11] Nada**
Come.
**[03:11] Kiriya**
No matter who you are...
**[03:20] Kiriya**
you stand no chance against me.

Is that so?

It seems you forgot who bore the

**[03:48] Shotani**
Tomo-kun!
**[03:50] Horyu**
All you!
**[03:51] Aoba**
How naive.
**[03:53] Horyu**
Oh, no!
**[03:54] Shotani**
What?
**[03:55] Aoba**
No more tricks.
**[03:57] Aoba**
We will crush you with brute strength!
**[04:01] Aoba**
You're already here?
**[04:03] Nada**
I've got stamina to spare.
**[04:09] Nada**
The ball's ours.
**[04:18] Nada**
Go. I'll keep getting us the ball.
**[04:31] Suruga**
That number eight
**[04:33] Suruga**
hasn't played in an official game
since he played us last year.
**[04:37] Reo**
Yeah.
**[04:39] Suruga**
He's playing awfully recklessly
for his first game back.
**[04:43] Reo**
He must have made a full recovery
if he's playing in the game.
**[04:51] Suruga**
Are you surprised by their tenacity?
**[04:54] Reo**
I suppose.
**[04:56] Reo**
But they won't be able to catch up.
**[05:00] Reo**
We won't change our strategy.
**[05:03] Suruga**
Even with that?
**[05:08] Reo**
I knew it.
**[05:10] Reo**
Then we just have to
pound it into his head.
**[05:18] Tori**
We were worried.
**[05:20] Riku**
Sorry. I'm fine now.
**[05:24] Horyu**
Are you sure you're okay?
**[05:26] Horyu**
Did you hit your head?
**[05:29] Riku**
No. They simply sapped my energy.
**[05:33] Shotani**
You've got a decent amount of stamina, too.
**[05:36] Oguma**
They were really gunning for him.
It was inevitable.
**[05:39] Rando**
If anything, it's impressive
how long he held out.
**[05:42] Riku**
If possible, I would've preferred
not to go down until the end.
**[05:47] Tori**
Akira was the only one saying
you'd definitely be back.
**[05:53] Akira**
There's no way you'd drop out.
**[05:57] Riku**
You get it.
**[06:03] Nada**
Riku, I'm sorry.
**[06:06] Riku**
Nada-san...
**[06:10] Riku**
You came back.
**[06:13] Nada**
*I had to after I saw that.*
**[06:23] Gouma**
Nada-san's been carrying the game.
**[06:26] Rando**
It's too bad you were asleep.
**[06:29] Riku**
I was watching.
**[06:32] Nada**
After all the trouble I caused,
I plan to be as useful as possible.
**[06:37] Oguma**
It wasn't any trouble.
**[06:39] Tori**
If anything, we're the ones
who caused trouble for—
**[06:43] Nada**
You're wrong.
**[06:47] Nada**
Seeing the team in its current state,
I realized something.
**[06:51] Nada**
I didn't trust you guys enough.
**[06:55] Tori**
Nada-san.
**[06:57] Nada**
I know it's a little late,
but let me fight alongside you.
**[07:01] Tori**
What are you talking about?
**[07:05] Tori**
You've always been with us.
**[07:08] Nada**
Tori...
**[07:13] Nada**
Come on, Riku. Let's beat Sekirei.
**[07:16] Riku**
Yes. With this team.
**[07:20] Tori**
Nada-san's back.
**[07:22] Tori**
Riku's not beaten, either.
**[07:25] Tori**
Give every last bit of strength
you've got! Let's go!
**[07:28] All**
Yeah!
**[07:59] Reo**
I knew you'd be back.
**[08:02] Riku**
You make it sound like you expected this.
**[08:05] Reo**
Yes. I saw this future.
**[08:10] Reo**
But why?
**[08:13] Reo**
It won't change the results.
**[08:14] Reo**
Your physical abilities are limited.
**[08:17] Riku**
You're absolutely right.
**[08:19] Reo**
Then you could've remained lying down.
**[08:23] Riku**
An obvious result is not a reason not to try.
**[08:28] Reo**
You're going to make me say it again?
**[08:30] Riku**
There is no path open to me here.
**[08:33] Riku**
I've known that from the beginning.
**[08:37] ---**
Soran
**[08:37] ---**
Sekirei
**[08:58] Akira**
We knew you'd go for Riku.
**[09:01] Nada**
You're so predictable, Asamiya Reo.
**[09:04] Reo**
No.
**[09:12] Reo**
I saw that future.
**[09:26] Reo**
Give up. You cannot win.
**[09:36] Setsuya**
Impressive as always, Captain.
**[09:39] Suruga**
What should we do?
Keep targeting your brother?
**[09:43] Reo**
No. We'll score.
**[09:47] Kiriya**
Are you sure we should leave him alone?
**[09:49] Reo**
Yes.
**[09:50] Kiriya**
Then how about targeting
their new number eight?
**[09:54] Aoba**
There's no need to
deliberately target him.
**[09:57] Aoba**
If you happen to run into him with the
ball, then face him with all your might.
**[10:01] Kiriya**
In order to secure our victory, it would
be better to target them strategically.
**[10:06] Suruga**
Enough.
**[10:07] Setsuya**
This is disgraceful.
**[10:10] Suruga**
What should we do, Reo?
**[10:12] Reo**
There's no need to target their number eight.
**[10:17] Reo**
We'll crush them with our combined strength.
**[10:20] Reo**
Don't miss a single opening.
**[10:22] Reo**
Keep racking up the points.
**[10:24] Reo**
Let's go.
**[10:31] Setsuya**
I shall grant my lord's most welcome wish.
**[10:38] Setsuya**
You underestimated me.
**[10:48] Akira**
We meet again.
**[10:50] Setsuya**
I still owe you one.
**[10:53] Akira**
Bring it on.
**[10:55] Setsuya**
However...
**[10:57] Setsuya**
My lord's words come first.
**[11:05] Kiriya**
You're not good enough.
**[11:15] Horyu**
Yes!
**[11:16] Kiriya**
It's not over yet.
**[11:24] Shotani**
Gotcha!
**[11:30] Kiriya**
We won't hand over the ball that easily.
**[11:41] Rando**
I can reach that!
**[11:47] Suruga**
Naive!
**[11:50] Suruga**
Ryoba!
**[11:52] Aoba**
Victory!
**[11:57] Oguma**
No, you don't.
**[12:00] Aoba**
From the front this time.
**[12:13] Aoba**
Sekirei will win.
**[12:16] LEFT**
Sekirei
**[12:16] RIGHT**
Soran
**[12:21] Nada**
They're not making this easy.
**[12:24] Rando**
Sekirei is as strong as ever.
**[12:27] Oguma**
They're desperate, too.
**[12:29] Shotani**
But I don't want to lose.
**[12:31] Tori**
Of course not. Let's win!
**[12:35] Horyu**
What should we do?
**[12:37] Akira**
You still think we can win, right?
**[12:39] Riku**
Of course. But to do that...
**[12:51] Riku**
I'll have to abandon my tactics again.
**[12:55] Riku**
And...
**[13:10] Tori**
Let's go.
**[13:19] Reo**
They're going for the surprise
attack. I expected this.
**[13:35] Oguma**
Already?
**[13:37] Aoba**
I know.
**[13:43] Tori**
They're limiting our pass courses?
**[13:47] Suruga**
Just as planned.
**[13:54] Suruga**
What?
**[13:58] Shotani**
Got it, Tomo-kun.
**[14:09] Riku**
Tactics number three.
**[14:17] Arimura**
The other members are
using Riku-kun's tactics?
**[14:22] Arimura**
That's not good.
**[14:26] Arimura**
If they use their tactics carelessly,
they won't maintain their formation.
**[14:34] Arimura**
It's counterproductive.
**[14:37] Tenkawa**
No.
**[14:39] Tenkawa**
It hasn't broken.
**[14:46] Arimura**
How?
**[14:49] (Flashback) Riku**
Your teammates do stuff without your input.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Riku**
That's why you can put your faith in them.
**[14:55] (Flashback) Riku**
That's why I did what I did.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Riku**
I did it to beat you.
**[14:59] (Flashback) Riku**
I had to put my faith in
my teammates to win it.
**[15:03] Arimura**
Is it because you trust them?
Is that how you know
**[15:09] Arimura**
what each of you is trying to do?
**[15:20] Riku**
You're right.
**[15:25] Riku**
There is no path open to me here.
**[15:28] Riku**
But that was when I was alone.
**[15:33] Riku**
It's different now.
**[15:34] Riku**
I have teammates to whom
I can grant my tactics.
**[15:39] Reo**
Riku.
**[15:41] Riku**
Here and now, with this team, I—
**[15:45] Riku**
We will overcome you.
**[15:47] Riku**
And that brilliance will
pave the way to the future.
**[15:55] Tori**
Riku!
**[16:00] Riku**
Brother.
**[16:14] Reo**
That's right. You'd do that.
**[16:17] Reo**
It's your only option.
**[16:29] Reo**
It's over.
**[16:50] (Flashback) Riku**
I present you with my final tactic.
**[16:59] (Flashback) Riku**
Use your own tactic.
**[17:03] (Flashback) Riku**
It's the only way to beat Asamiya Reo.
**[17:06] (Flashback) Riku**
Or do you still hate tactics?
**[17:09] (Flashback) Akira**
Of course. I hate those things,
**[17:14] (Flashback) Akira**
but not as much as before.
**[17:16] (Flashback) Riku**
I see.
**[17:20] (Flashback) Riku**
I said I'd put a collar on you,
but now, I'll remove it.
**[17:25] (Flashback) Riku**
Go wild.
**[17:27] (Flashback) Akira**
You sure?
**[17:28] (Flashback) Riku**
Yeah. Show them our strength.
**[17:31] (Flashback) Akira**
That makes things easy.
**[17:35] (Flashback) Akira**
No matter who our opponent
is, I'll crush them.
**[17:39] (Flashback) Akira**
Try to keep up if you're my master.
**[17:42] (Flashback) Riku**
I'll match whatever tactic
you choose to use.
**[17:47] (Flashback) Akira**
We're doing it to win.
**[17:49] (Flashback) Riku**
Yeah, to win.
**[18:20] Riku**
Now we...
**[18:23] Akira**
...win!
**[18:57] Reo**
That's your path?
**[19:01] Riku**
It's our path.
**[19:07] Reo**
You're right.
**[19:14] Reo**
Then, go as far as you can.
**[19:17] Riku**
I'll go to the ends of
the world with this guy.
**[19:38] Tori**
Let's take this all the way!
**[19:41] All**
Yeah!
**[21:45] Akira**
Let's go.
**[21:57] Riku**
Yeah.
**[22:12] Reo**
You came.
**[22:22] Akira**
Been waiting long?
**[22:23] Reo**
No. You arrived sooner than expected.
**[22:28] Reo**
Riku...
**[22:30] Reo**
did you see this future?
**[22:34] Riku**
I didn't see it.
**[22:36] Akira**
We can do this.
**[22:42] Riku**
I just believed in it.
