**[00:25] Chairman**
* and the hours of training the players*

**[00:26] Riku**
Why are you so jittery?
**[00:29] Akira**
Isn't it obvious?
**[00:30] Akira**
I'm excited 'cause I get to
play all these guys real soon.
**[00:36] Akira**
Doesn't that excite you, too?
**[00:43] Riku**
Yeah.
**[00:45] Riku**
You're right. It *is* exciting.

**[02:38] Akira**
I wanna play 'em already.
**[02:41] Riku**
Hold your horses.
**[02:43] LEFT**
Shikuniyama
**[02:43] RIGHT**
Kinosaka
**[02:44] Riku**
The biggest test on our side
of the draw is Shikuniyama.
**[02:48] Riku**
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.
**[21:45] Akira**

**[21:55] Shotani**
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.

**[22:42] Ohata**
Next time, we'll chat about common fouls.
**[22:46] Rando**
Let this year be the Year of Rugby. Let's try!
