SIGN    National Middle School Chess Championship
    The Grand Cup
[00:17] All
    Impressive.
[00:18] All
    Not bad at all.
[00:20] Announcer
    The runner-up in the middle school
    competition is Arimura Rinto-kun.
[00:27] Announcer
    And the winner is...
[00:30] Announcer
    Asamiya Riku-kun.
[00:35] Student
    I heard he only took up
    chess less than a year ago.
[00:38] Student
    Seriously?
[00:40] Student
    Serial champ Arimura
    got beaten by a beginner?
[00:45] Arimura
    You were strong, Asamiya-kun.
[00:47] Arimura
    I hate to admit it, but I lost.
[00:55] Riku
    Yeah.

    Shikuniyama
[02:46] RIGHT
    Kinosaka
[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.
[03:17] LEFT
    Shikuniyama
[03:17] RIGHT
    Kinosaka
[03:18] Rando
    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
    Runner-up
[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.

    If we win this next game,
    we're in the final.
[06:51] Tori
    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.

[22:08] 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.
