**[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**

Fuyuhara Tori

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**

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!
