[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!
[01:08] All
    Yeah!

[02:51] Arimura
    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
    Yeah!
[03:21] Tori
    We soar into the azure!
[03:23] All
    We glide through every storm!
[03:25] Tori
    Let's go!
[03:26] All
    Soran Azul Nova!
[03:31] Arimura
    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
    Bind!
[07:14] Referee
    Set!
[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.
[10:00] Tenkawa
    I'd like to see you try.

[10:10] Arimura
    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.

[11:26] 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.

[21:55] 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.
