**[00:12] announcer**
*All right, we've got perfect conditions.*
**[00:15] announcer**
*The Forest Cup in Tsurigasaki!*
**[00:17] announcer**
*The beach that's serving as our venue*
**[00:19] announcer**
* has been packed full of people*
* since this morning.*
**[00:21] announcer**
*It's overflowing with excitement!*
**[00:29] Mori**
Everyone, thank you for coming.
**[00:32] Mori**
I am the chair of the competition's
executive committee, Mori William Soichiro.
**[00:36] Mori**
This time, the Forest Cup is being held
**[00:38] Mori**
in the same place
as the 2020 world competition,
**[00:40] Mori**
here in Tsurigasaki.
**[00:43] Mori**
You could call this competition
a sort of warm-up skirmish.
**[00:45] Mori**
These athletes have their eyes
firmly set on the future,
**[00:48] Mori**
and we hope that they will compete
boldly and with determination.
**[00:53] Mori**
Let's have the athletes take the stage.
**[00:55] Mori**
Everyone, please give them
a big round of applause!
**[01:03] Masaki**
*The day of the competition has finally come.*
**[01:06] Masaki**
*I'm all fired up and in the best condition!*
**[01:09] Sakura**
Big Brother, and everyone
else, too, you can do this!
**[01:14] Shoko**
Masaki-kun! Fight!
**[01:16] Manager**
Star of Oarai!
**[01:17] Masaki**
Yes! I'll bring the winner's cup to Oarai!
**[01:33] Sakura**
That's the number one
pick for first place...
**[01:36] Tadao**
Fuke Rindo.
**[01:37] Manager**
What techniques will he show us this time?
**[01:40] Shoko**
I can't wait to see!
**[01:46] Masaki**
*I can finally go up against Fuke-san!*
**[01:50] Masaki**
*I'm way too happy!*

**[03:35] announcer**

**[04:00] Kosuke**
We managed to get split up pretty well.
**[04:03] Yuta**
Let's meet at the finals.
**[04:06] Masaki**
Oh man! I got myself so fired up
I'm already getting hungry.
**[04:10] Masaki**
I need an energy charge.
**[04:17] Mori**
Hey.
**[04:19] Mori**
I'm happy to see you all made it
safely to the competition.
**[04:23] Mori**
And, whatever else is to be said,
the waves today are magnificent.
**[04:29] Kosuke**
Yeah. These are
the absolute best conditions!
**[04:31] Yuta**
It really gets you excited, doesn't it?
**[04:34] Naoya**
It's a perfect day for surfing!
**[04:36] Naoya**
A perfect day for Miruru!
**[04:37] Masaki**
Yeah! Let's enjoy this
competition to the fullest!
**[04:47] everyone**
Catch the wave!
**[04:51] announcer**
*Now, round 1, heat 1.*
**[04:53] announcer**
*All the athletes are headed out.*
**[04:56] announcer**
* The one to watch is world*
* champion, Fuke Rindo.*
**[05:00] announcer**
*Fuke, in red, has already caught a wave.*
**[05:05] Ohashi**
*He's making full use of the wave's speed.*
**[05:15] Ohashi**
* He cutback perfectly*
* at the edge of the break.*
**[05:18] announcer**
*Now that's what a champion looks like!*
**[05:20] announcer**
*What beautiful, smooth riding!*
**[05:31] announcer**
*First place, Fuke. Second, Kaneko.*
**[05:35] Masaki**
* From the start, Fuke*
* overwhelmed his opponents.*
**[05:39] Masaki**
* And Kosuke and the others*
* made it through on solid wins.*
**[05:52] Masaki**
*Everyone's getting first...*
**[05:53] Masaki**
*They're amazing!*
**[05:57] Masaki**
*I've gotta give it my best, too.*
**[05:59] announcer**
*And now, the final heat of round 1.*
**[06:04] announcer**
* The one to watch is the promising*
* rookie from Oarai, Hinaoka!*
**[06:08] announcer**
* The source of his energy*
* is dried sweet potatoes!*
**[06:12] Masaki**
*Okay.*
**[06:17] Ohashi**
*Hinaoka is really observing his wave.*
**[06:20] Ohashi**
* He's very high on the wave,*
* and he's going long, too.*
**[06:23] Ohashi**
* I think we can expect*
* a high score from this.*
**[06:27] Ohashi**
*Hinaoka and Watanabe advance to round 2!*
**[06:31] Sakura**
Yes!
**[06:32] Masaki's mom**
He's made it through the first round.
**[06:34] Shoko**
That was an amazing floater, wasn't it?
**[06:36] Shoko**
Masaki-kun has really improved.
**[06:39] manager**
Okay! Just keep it going!
**[06:41] announcer**
*Next we have round 2, heat 1!*
**[06:44] announcer**
*The one to watch is Matsukaze in white!*
**[06:51] Yuta**
* My predictions and*
* countermeasures are flawless.*
**[06:54] Yuta**
* All that's left is to pick the right*
* wave and issue a challenge!*
**[06:57] announcer**
*How long will this Shonan-born thoroughbred*
**[06:59] announcer**
*be able to keep up with world champion Fuke?*
**[07:05] announcer**
*They haven't made a move yet.*
**[07:08] Ohashi**
* Well, they've got some*
* dumping waves mixed in, too,*
**[07:11] Ohashi**
*so picking the right wave will be difficult.*
**[07:17] Yuta**
*Not yet.*
**[07:18] Yuta**
*I have to pick a wave with potential.*
**[07:22] others**
Huh?
**[07:44] announcer**
*He's through!*
**[07:48] announcer**
*This is really amazing.*
**[07:51] announcer**
* His challenging that wave*
* defies common sense!*
**[07:54] Ohashi**
*Yes.*
**[07:55] Ohahi**
* A surfer's ride is judged on things*
* like its aggressiveness, difficulty,*
**[07:58] Ohashi**
*and whether or not it's innovative,*
**[08:00] Ohashi**
* but in Fuke's case, he really*
* is unsurpassed in every area.*
**[08:03] Ohashi**
*He's really magnificent.*
**[08:09] Kosuke**
The fact that he can ride that is amazing!
**[08:12] Masaki**
He's able to skillfully ride any wave...
**[08:14] Masaki**
Fuke-san lives up to his hype!
**[08:16] Naoya**
Matsukaze, don't panic.
**[08:19] announcer**
*There are less than ten minutes left.*
**[08:22] announcer**
*Priority goes to Matsukaze in white.*
**[08:25] announcer**
* He's currently in third and needs*
* 5.1 points to turn it around!*
**[08:36] Yuta**
*The predicted potential is 50 percent.*
**[08:39] Yuta**
*I'll wager everything on this one!*
**[08:55] Ohashi**
*Oh. The wave didn't keep running.*
**[08:59] announcer**
* Advancing to round 3*
* will be Fuke and Murata!*
**[09:05] Kosuke**
Yuta, good work out there.
**[09:07] Yuta**
While I was waiting for the ideal
wave, I missed my chance.
**[09:12] Yuta**
My read of the data
is still sorely inadequate.
**[09:16] announcer**
*Moving on, we have round 2, heat 2.*
**[09:19] announcer**
* The one to watch here is Iwana,*
* whose home base is Shonan,*
**[09:22] announcer**
*and the organizer of this competition, Mori!*
**[09:28] Ohashi**
*Very nice.*
**[09:29] Ohashi**
* His riding is passionate,*
* and he's boldly coming in hard.*
**[09:35] announcer**
*Such beautiful, polished action.*
**[09:38] announcer**
*That's Mori William for you!*
**[09:44] announcer**
*In heat 2, coming in first place is Iwana!*
**[09:47] announcer**
*In second is Watanabe.*
**[09:49] announcer**
*And Mori takes a very close third!*
**[09:52] Mori**
I don't think I lost
in terms of heart, but...
**[09:55] Mori**
I'll aim for another chance
in the repêchage.
**[09:58] announcer**
*Now, round 2, the final heat!*
**[10:01] announcer**
*The one to keep an eye on is Kido from Oita!*
**[10:04] announcer**
* Breaking through the dimensional walls...*
* What skills will he show us?*
**[10:08] Ohashi**
* I'm hoping for big things from*
* Hinaoka's dried sweet potato power, too.*
**[10:12] Naoya**
Miruru... Right now,
the two of us will become one.
**[10:19] Masaki**
This time, I will beat Naoya...
**[10:21] Masaki**
No! I'll beat the two of them together!
**[10:29] announcer**
* Kido is working that lip*
* with height and power!*
**[10:32] announcer**
*He's making that spray fly!*
**[10:35] Naoya**
Become a weapon, Généroité!
**[10:36] Naoya**
Miruru and I, together, Bon Vivant!
**[10:47] announcer**
*Kido and Hinaoka advance to round 3!*
**[10:51] Shoko**
He did it!
**[10:54] Sakura**
You don't think the others got tripped up
by the names of Naoya-san's moves...
**[11:00] manager**
It's possible.
**[11:03] Masaki**
* After that, Bill and Yuta, who'd been*
* eliminated from the main event,*
**[11:07] Masaki**
*moved over to the repêchage event.*
**[11:09] Masaki**
* Moving on to round 3 were Fuke,*
* Kosuke, Naoya, Watanabe, Murata...*
**[11:18] Masaki**
*and me.*
**[11:21] Masaki**
*We're finally here.*
**[11:22] Masaki**
*In the next heat, I go up against Fuke-san!*
**[11:28] Masaki**
Hooray!
**[11:33] Naoya**
I'm in heat 2.
**[11:34] Kosuke**
You're competing with me!
**[11:40] Mori**
Rindo-kun, you're up against
Masaki-kun, next, right?
**[11:43] Mori**
He's an impressive rookie who
appeared suddenly, like a comet,
**[11:47] Mori**
so there isn't much data, and
it's hard to anticipate what he'll do.
**[11:50] Mori**
He might just be able to call down a storm.
**[11:55] Fuke**
Where? The weather's perfectly clear.
**[12:06] Tadao**
Hey.
**[12:10] Fuke**
It's good to see you again.
**[12:12] girl 1**
Wow! There's a legend!
**[12:14] girl 2**
That's Tadao-san!
**[12:15] girl 3**
What an amazing pairing!
**[12:20] Tadao**
Yay!
**[12:26] Masaki**
Fuke-san!
**[12:27] Masaki**
That was amazing earlier!
**[12:29] Fuke**
Who are you?
**[12:31] Masaki**
I'm going up against you next, Fuke-san.
My name is Hinaoka Masaki.
**[12:34] Masaki**
I've been super excited wondering
what kind of battle we might have!
**[12:40] Masaki**
I started surfing because of a friend
named Sho that I really admired...
**[12:44] Masaki**
Oh! Sho's a genius...
**[12:46] Masaki**
and he could ride any wave
you threw at him and...
**[12:49] Masaki**
When I saw you earlier, Fuke-san,
for some reason you reminded me of Sho!
**[12:53] Fuke**
Don't compare me to anyone else. I am me.
**[13:01] Masaki**
Well, that's true.
**[13:03] Masaki**
It's like, "Who do you
think you are," right?
**[13:13] Masaki**
Thanks.
**[13:16] Masaki**
Yup. I'm fine.
**[13:19] Masaki**
I'll do my best! I'm going to win!
**[13:24] announcer**
*Now we start round 3 of the main event!*
**[13:27] announcer**
*Only one from each heat will survive.*
**[13:31] announcer**
*First, we have heat 1.*
**[13:32] announcer**
* Challenging the ultimate champion*
* Fuke will be new star Hinaoka*
**[13:36] announcer**
*and veteran Watanabe!*
**[13:38] Masaki**
*First, I'll take priority!*
**[13:46] announcer**
*They're going for the wave at the same time.*
**[13:48] announcer**
*Closest to the peak is Hinaoka in white!*
**[13:52] Masaki**
I will take down Fuke-san!
**[13:57] Ohashi**
*That's some beautiful carving.*
**[13:58] announcer**
*Oh, but how will this turn out?*
**[14:02] announcer**
*He delivers!*
**[14:06] Ohashi**
* Usually, you'd lose your balance there.*
* He really showed some great control.*
**[14:09] announcer**
* Hinaoka... His innate sense of balance*
* is just as the rumors have it!*
**[14:14] announcer**
*He really is captivating to watch!*
**[14:19] announcer**
*Th-That's high!*
**[14:21] announcer**
* It's as though he's going to*
* soar right up into the sky!*
**[14:25] Ohashi**
* With just that one maneuver,*
* I'm sure we can expect to see high scores.*
**[14:28] announcer**
* Far and away in first we have Fuke.*
* He advances to the finals!*
**[14:32] announcer**
* Watanabe and Hinaoka are headed*
* to the repêchage*
**[14:34] announcer**
*to aim for another chance!*
**[14:37] Masaki**
Huh? I... lost?
**[14:42] Mori**
Come on, let's get back.
**[14:45] announcer**
* In round 3, heat 2, we have*
* a roundup of powerhouses!*
**[14:49] announcer**
* Which one of them will be*
* advancing to the finals?*
**[14:59] announcer**
*In first place, we have Iwana!*
**[15:01] announcer**
* From the main event,*
* advancing to the Grand Final*
**[15:03] announcer**
*we have Fuke and Iwana!*
**[15:07] announcer**
* And now, there are only two more*
* who will move to the Grand Final.*
**[15:09] announcer**
* First place in each of the heats*
* in the repêchage will advance!*
**[15:15] Sakura**
Don't worry, Big Brother!
You still have a chance!
**[15:18] Masaki's mom**
Naoya-san, Yuta-san, fight!
**[15:25] fan 1**
Miruru!
**[15:27] fan 2**
Revolution Change!
**[15:35] announcer**
*We've got all the scores from the first run,*
**[15:38] announcer**
*and Kido is in first place!*
**[15:40] announcer**
*Now, for the second run.*
**[15:41] announcer**
* Priority goes to Hinaoka,*
* who was the first on the waves.*
**[15:49] announcer**
*Oh! There's Ohara!*
**[15:51] announcer**
*He caught the wave ahead of Hinaoka!*
**[15:56] Ohashi**
*It has both speed and power.*
**[15:58] Ohashi**
*He caught a good wave.*
**[16:01] announcer**
*Hinaoka must be feeling pretty frustrated!*
**[16:05] Ohashi**
*Yes.*
**[16:05] Ohashi**
* In situations where you need a*
* comeback, when you have priority,*
**[16:09] Ohashi**
*you tend to overanalyze picking a wave.*
**[16:12] announcer**
*He managed three off the lip maneuvers.*
**[16:15] Ohashi**
*It was a decent ride.*
**[16:17] announcer**
*And now Ohara has taken the top spot!*
**[16:20] announcer**
* Second-place Kido needs 6.6 points*
* to turn the tables and take the top spot.*
**[16:25] announcer**
*Third-place Hinaoka needs 8.6 points!*
**[16:32] Masaki**
We have about 4 minutes left...
**[16:35] Masaki**
I've got nothing left to protect!
**[16:37] Masaki**
All I can do is attack!
**[16:42] Ohashi**
*We've got a set coming in.*
**[16:43] Ohashi**
*Hinaoka in red is making his move!*
**[16:49] Masaki**
Let's go!
**[16:54] announcer**
*Oh! To wipe out here!*
**[17:01] Masaki**
Blast it...
**[17:04] Ohashi**
* He was aiming for the risky*
* lip near the power zone,*
**[17:06] Ohashi**
*but his timing was a little off.*
**[17:09] Ohashi**
*However, his assertiveness was impressive.*
**[17:12] announcer**
* Repêchage, round 5, heat 1, the one advancing*
* to the Grand Final will be Ohara.*
**[17:19] Sakura**
It's over.
**[17:22] Tadao**
Great! He pushed himself right to the end.
**[17:26] manager**
Yes, he did.
**[17:28] Masaki**
* After that, Yuta fought a brave fight, too,*
* but he ended in second place.*
**[17:32] Masaki**
* We didn't manage to make it*
* to the finals from the repêchage.*
**[17:37] announcer**
*Forest Cup in Tsurigasaki!*
**[17:39] announcer**
*We have finally arrived at the Grand Final!*
**[17:42] announcer**
* Now, who will be the one*
* to grab the glory here?*
**[17:46] announcer**
*Will it be the ultimate champion, Fuke?*
**[17:48] announcer**
*Or, will it be the birth of a new hero?*
**[17:56] Yuta**
Kosuke-san...
**[17:58] Masaki**
You can do this!
**[18:10] Kosuke**
Here it comes!
**[18:15] announcer**
*Fuke has caught the wave!*
**[18:48] announcer**
*He's flying!*
**[18:50] Ohashi**
*That's a rodeo flip! Beautiful!*
**[18:53] Ohashi**
* There are only a few*
* in the world who can make that!*
**[18:56] announcer**
* Fuke delivers a maneuver*
* of the highest difficulty!*
**[19:00] announcer**
*How high can the score for this go?*
**[19:04] announcer**
*There it is! A perfect score!*
**[19:08] Masaki**
Wow!
**[19:10] Yuta**
The speed, the sharpness of
technique... all of it was perfect!
**[19:16] Kosuke**
Blast it!
**[19:17] Kosuke**
All I can do is give it
all the power I have!
**[19:21] Masaki**
* Kosuke pushed himself all the way*
* to the very end of the time limit!*
**[19:27] Masaki**
*In the end...*
**[19:30] announcer**
*The winner is Fuke Rindo!*
**[19:36] crowd**
Rindo! Rindo! Rindo! Rindo!
**[19:47] announcer**
* And now the winner's cup*
* will be presented to Fuke.*
**[19:51] Mori**
Congratulations on your win.
**[19:54] Fuke**
Thank you.
**[20:02] Mori**
Fuke, allow me to formally say
that your riding was truly impressive.
**[20:07] Mori**
I think that all the surfers
you competed with
**[20:09] Mori**
feel honored to have had a heat against you.
**[20:12] Mori**
Can I ask, is there anyone who
left a particular impression on you?
**[20:18] Fuke**
It isn't about beating anyone
or losing to anyone.
**[20:21] Fuke**
It's always a battle against
yourself and the waves.
**[20:24] Masaki**
*Fuke-san...*
**[20:26] Masaki**
*He really is super cool!*
**[20:29] Masaki**
* Back then, I didn't feel the*
* slightest bit upset or frustrated.*
**[20:33] Masaki**
*I was just excited, that's all.*
**[20:36] Kosuke**
Hey!
**[20:37] Kosuke**
If you've got time
to gaze in rapture at Fuke,
**[20:39] Kosuke**
then you should do some training
for the next competition!
**[20:43] Kosuke**
Take that!
**[20:50] Sakura**
Big Brother! Good work out there!
**[20:53] Masaki**
Everyone, thank you for cheering me on!
**[20:58] Masaki's mom**
They were good heats.
**[21:00] Shoko**
I feel like... you gave me courage.
**[21:04] manager**
Taking one sure step at a time...
That's what's important.
**[21:08] Masaki**
Yes, sir!
**[21:17] Masaki's mom**
We should help, too.
**[21:19] Shoko**
And do it with thanks to the ocean,
a feeling of gratitude to the sea.
**[21:25] Tadao**
A waterman's spirit.
**[21:28] Sakura**
W-Water...
**[21:29] Yuta**
Someone who knows the ocean,
who understands it.
**[21:32] Yuta**
It isn't just surfers,
**[21:33] Yuta**
everyone who does water sports
should aim for that ideal.
**[21:38] Sakura**
Wow. A waterman, huh?
**[21:55] Masaki**
*The world competition was still very far away.*
**[22:02] Masaki**
*I'm sure Sho could do that.*
**[22:06] Masaki**
*But one day, I'll fly, too!*
**[22:09] Masaki**
*Even higher... even farther!*
**[22:14] Masaki**
Right!
**[22:15] Masaki**
Starting tomorrow,
it's back to practicing hard!
