[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.

You're right. Challenging and

[16:55] Tori
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.
