WEBVTT
00:00.770 --> 00:01.980
Super!
00:02.060 --> 00:04.270
That look super-duper suits you, Kentacchi!
00:04.560 --> 00:07.150
- My heart actually skipped a beat!
- After Kenta lost two kilos in a week,
00:07.230 --> 00:10.190
- Saku always makes the best choices!
- we figured next was to get him a good outfit,
00:10.270 --> 00:12.690
- Is this okay, King?
- so here we are at Lpa.
00:13.100 --> 00:16.310
Yeah, it's more than okay.
It's pretty damn good, yo.
00:16.400 --> 00:17.440
Yo!
00:45.940 --> 00:48.150
CHITOSE IS IN THE RAMUNE BOTTLE
01:55.980 --> 01:59.060
Yep, you look exactly as good
as we thought, Kentacchi!
01:59.150 --> 02:01.400
And why don't we stop by while we're here?
02:01.940 --> 02:05.060
You'll be meeting your friends there, right?
02:06.480 --> 02:07.770
When are you seeing them, again?
02:07.850 --> 02:10.440
Two weeks from now.
02:10.520 --> 02:11.560
But...
02:13.600 --> 02:16.270
HUH? I THOUGHT YOU LEFT THE GROUP?
SURE, I GUESS. I'LL INVITE REN AND HAYATO TOO.
02:17.270 --> 02:19.150
Well, that's awkward.
02:19.440 --> 02:23.730
I don't really get it. What are you
even trying to achieve, Kentacchi?
02:23.810 --> 02:28.400
Uh, I just want them to think
that I've changed a little.
02:28.480 --> 02:29.980
Oh, that's all?
02:30.060 --> 02:31.770
Excuse me!
02:33.350 --> 02:34.310
Huh?
02:34.400 --> 02:36.060
Wh-What are you doing?
02:36.150 --> 02:37.730
Just roll with it.
02:37.810 --> 02:40.600
Yay! C'mon, smiley-smile now!
02:43.150 --> 02:45.150
Look, Kentacchi!
02:46.310 --> 02:47.400
Wait...
02:47.900 --> 02:50.060
Is that really me?
02:50.150 --> 02:52.440
Don't we look like tight-knit buddies?
02:52.770 --> 02:56.560
You worked on your people skills,
got on a diet,
02:56.650 --> 02:58.980
and fixed up your hair and clothes.
02:59.350 --> 03:03.310
The effort you put into taking those first
steps has resulted in very real progress.
03:03.900 --> 03:06.400
You really think so?
03:06.480 --> 03:11.900
What matters is holding the "I will
change myself, no matter what" mindset
03:11.980 --> 03:16.230
close to your heart
and never letting go of it.
03:17.810 --> 03:21.150
I'm gonna put everything I have
into the remaining two weeks.
03:21.230 --> 03:25.560
I don't want the help that you, Yuko,
and everyone else gave me to be in vain.
03:25.980 --> 03:28.230
Because, uh...
03:28.810 --> 03:30.770
you're my friends, and stuff...
03:31.020 --> 03:34.020
If you're gonna say that, say it confidently.
Mumbling it is just weird.
03:39.150 --> 03:43.060
Not many people can change
just because they decide to.
03:43.770 --> 03:46.310
One day, when he reflects
on this period of his life,
03:47.060 --> 03:49.650
I hope he'll be able to look
at himself with pride.
03:56.230 --> 03:59.650
Why's a loser like you
hanging with Chitose's group?
04:00.190 --> 04:03.520
Uh, Iwanami-sensei asked King to help me...
04:03.600 --> 04:05.100
"King"? Who, Chitose-kun?
04:05.190 --> 04:06.560
That's so funny!
04:06.650 --> 04:07.600
Now, now.
04:07.690 --> 04:11.980
You'll scare Yamazaki-kun
if you all talk to him at once.
04:12.060 --> 04:14.520
You stay out of it, Uchida.
04:14.980 --> 04:19.600
Heck, a plain Jane like you doesn't
belong in Chitose-kun's group either.
04:20.730 --> 04:22.600
Believe me, I'm aware.
04:22.690 --> 04:26.900
N-Nah, Uchida-san, if you ask me,
you shine plenty bright too.
04:26.980 --> 04:30.400
So you've got the hots for Uchida,
and you're using Chitose as a way in?
04:30.480 --> 04:31.850
Th-That's not why!
04:32.230 --> 04:35.900
- Then what is it? Spill it.
- You see what's going on. Help me out here.
04:37.900 --> 04:42.520
Damn it. Just when Kenta
was starting to make progress.
04:43.520 --> 04:44.940
'Sup!
04:45.900 --> 04:49.440
Chitose, why've you been
hanging out with this guy lately?
04:49.850 --> 04:53.350
Huh? And you are...?
04:53.650 --> 04:57.440
Screw you. You know we faced off
in the prefectural finals.
04:57.520 --> 04:59.650
Atomu Uemura from Yoko Middle School.
05:00.150 --> 05:03.650
I can't believe you joined this piss-weak
school and then quit baseball.
05:03.730 --> 05:06.270
But you're not on the baseball
team either, Atomu.
05:06.350 --> 05:08.900
Bah, it just felt dumb to continue playing.
05:09.350 --> 05:13.150
Forget him. I know exactly
who that pretty girl over there is.
05:13.560 --> 05:14.940
Nazuna Ayase-chan, right?
05:15.020 --> 05:17.600
Whoa, way to make a girl happy!
05:17.690 --> 05:19.440
Mizushino-kun, Chitose-kun,
05:19.520 --> 05:22.900
you should hang with us
instead of these basic bitches.
05:22.980 --> 05:25.440
B-Basic?
05:25.520 --> 05:29.650
I guess being the sporty type
really does hurt my feminine charms.
05:30.850 --> 05:33.560
I wasn't talking about you.
05:33.900 --> 05:35.310
Well?
05:35.690 --> 05:37.310
Why this dude?
05:37.400 --> 05:39.350
Because we're friends, duh.
05:39.440 --> 05:42.400
He, Yuko, and I hung out
at Lpa last weekend, too.
05:42.480 --> 05:45.730
Give me a frickin' break.
With this clout chaser?
05:45.810 --> 05:47.600
No, this is just temporary...
05:47.900 --> 05:51.850
Sorry to say, but I decide who
I hang out with. End of story.
05:55.100 --> 05:58.020
Come on, let's stop the sparks flying.
05:58.310 --> 06:02.400
Well, I'm sorry to say I despise kids like
you who have never experienced failure.
06:02.480 --> 06:03.520
And you.
06:04.270 --> 06:07.400
Don't make Chitose waste his
time on your stupid games.
06:13.560 --> 06:19.600
Okay, Mr. Hedgehog. I can't even tell
if he's a nice guy or just plain nasty.
06:24.020 --> 06:26.310
When I said "popular jerks
who try to put us down,"
06:26.600 --> 06:29.150
that's the kind of thing I was talking about.
06:29.230 --> 06:31.770
What was I supposed to do back there?
06:31.850 --> 06:33.690
Just don't bother engaging.
06:34.230 --> 06:36.600
Let people think what they want about you.
06:36.690 --> 06:39.190
What matters is whether you
can hold your own head high.
06:39.270 --> 06:43.400
As long as you focus on that,
you'll stop letting their words affect you.
06:43.770 --> 06:47.270
Hold my own head high, huh...
06:56.440 --> 07:00.480
If I offered to help him in order to
maintain my ideal image of Saku Chitose,
07:00.940 --> 07:04.100
I need to hold myself responsible
for how things work out.
07:05.350 --> 07:11.310
If Kenta heads out to battle and returns
with wounds he can't recover from...
07:16.480 --> 07:20.230
Heya! If you've got time
to kill, come join me!
07:21.900 --> 07:22.940
Hup.
07:29.730 --> 07:32.020
Not surprised you're so flexible.
07:33.400 --> 07:36.100
Well, it's part of the fundamentals.
07:36.520 --> 07:39.940
Anyway, what was with
the long face back there?
07:40.270 --> 07:42.690
You brought me here
to get my mind off things?
07:42.770 --> 07:43.900
Hup.
07:43.980 --> 07:48.850
'Course not. I just get more into it
when I'm working out with someone.
07:48.940 --> 07:50.400
That so?
07:50.770 --> 07:54.600
Let's say you were tasked with scoring
X number of points in a game,
07:54.690 --> 07:56.690
but you lost because you
couldn't hit the quota.
07:56.770 --> 07:58.270
What would you do—
07:58.350 --> 07:59.310
Oww!
07:59.400 --> 08:02.350
Being unable to produce results
signifies a lack of ability.
08:02.440 --> 08:05.900
I'd say sorry and just work harder.
08:06.270 --> 08:08.600
Why did you quit baseball?
08:10.270 --> 08:12.150
I didn't want to get a buzz cut.
08:12.230 --> 08:15.150
Someone's trying to dodge the question!
08:21.150 --> 08:25.520
It was obvious from how you played
that you cared more than that.
08:25.600 --> 08:30.100
I play a different sport, and even I could
tell how much you put into baseball.
08:30.190 --> 08:33.060
Guess I didn't really care all that much, then.
08:42.190 --> 08:46.850
One-on-one, first to ten.
Loser has to answer the winner's question.
08:46.940 --> 08:48.520
What are you trying to ask me?
08:48.600 --> 08:51.900
For today, I'll make do with
why you were down in the dumps.
08:55.020 --> 08:58.850
Yeesh. Well, if I win,
I'll ask you a dirty question!
08:58.940 --> 09:01.440
Loser buys hot food from
the convenience store, too!
09:01.520 --> 09:04.900
Okay, bring it!
09:08.690 --> 09:10.810
I-I'm back with snacks.
09:10.900 --> 09:12.310
Took you long enough.
09:12.400 --> 09:16.980
You're heartless! I sprinted
to the store after an all-out duel!
09:17.100 --> 09:20.480
So, what was that all about?
You can talk to your Haru-chan.
09:20.770 --> 09:21.980
Come on...
09:25.150 --> 09:26.690
It was about Kenta.
09:26.770 --> 09:29.480
That stuff about sticking it
to his old friends?
09:29.560 --> 09:33.980
I was thinking about what to do
if that didn't go well.
09:34.400 --> 09:39.150
I put him up to this,
so I've gotta make it work.
09:39.230 --> 09:41.270
I'm starting to think you're an idiot.
09:42.350 --> 09:47.980
Yamazaki chose to play this game
with you as his coach of his own free will.
09:48.770 --> 09:53.850
Succeed or fail, that burden
falls squarely on his shoulders.
09:54.310 --> 09:56.980
You're making a mockery of his resolve.
09:58.520 --> 10:01.730
Once a coach has taught all he can,
10:01.810 --> 10:04.560
his job is to trust his players
and send 'em off.
10:04.650 --> 10:09.060
And offer a helping hand
when they find themselves in trouble.
10:10.850 --> 10:13.400
So much for breaking common ground.
10:16.270 --> 10:18.600
Don't get full of yourself, Chitose.
10:27.190 --> 10:30.520
You act like you've got it all figured out,
10:30.600 --> 10:33.350
but you're better off
running around with a baseball.
10:33.440 --> 10:34.560
Am I?
10:34.650 --> 10:37.060
I like you better that way, at least.
10:39.230 --> 10:41.480
Okay, rematch time.
10:41.560 --> 10:44.350
Let's see who can jump farther from the swing.
10:44.440 --> 10:47.400
The loser has to... Oh, I know.
10:47.980 --> 10:52.480
They have to reveal their deepest,
darkest secrets to the winner someday.
10:52.560 --> 10:53.980
You're on!
11:01.060 --> 11:04.850
Venus, impatient as ever, had already taken
her place in the sky as the Evening Star.
11:05.560 --> 11:08.980
I wish I could fly all the way there.
11:13.100 --> 11:16.270
That way, I wouldn't have
to lean on this kind girl
11:16.690 --> 11:19.480
and could stand tall on my own two feet.
11:26.520 --> 11:27.770
It's me.
11:27.850 --> 11:30.060
This is your handler. Sitrep?
11:30.400 --> 11:32.310
This mission is a piece of cake.
11:32.400 --> 11:36.350
I feel like I've been given three
whole seconds to unhook a bra.
11:36.440 --> 11:40.350
You're being too shortsighted.
As blind as a bat.
11:40.690 --> 11:44.480
Sometimes the hooks are
in the front, not the back.
11:44.560 --> 11:46.650
Always expect the unexpected.
11:50.270 --> 11:53.770
I'm impressed with your role-playing skills.
11:56.600 --> 11:59.150
Evening. What say we talk?
11:59.230 --> 12:02.100
Evening. Talk we shall.
12:03.230 --> 12:06.810
Why'd you agree to help Yamazaki?
12:06.900 --> 12:08.980
Kura-sen blackmailed me.
12:09.100 --> 12:12.650
I see. When you've really
got something to hide,
12:12.730 --> 12:17.810
you stick to the facts and
leave out the details. Smart.
12:17.900 --> 12:19.980
You're saying I'm doing it
for a different reason?
12:20.100 --> 12:22.520
Are you sure you want me to spell it out?
12:22.600 --> 12:26.150
Sure, be the pretty girl who helps
the male lead discover his true self.
12:26.230 --> 12:28.520
Lots of good romances start that way.
12:28.600 --> 12:31.850
You're doing it because you're Saku Chitose.
12:33.850 --> 12:36.770
And you're Yuzuki Nanase.
12:37.100 --> 12:39.980
Great. Guess I was right.
12:40.060 --> 12:42.940
I don't like people who insist
on reading between the lines.
12:43.020 --> 12:48.150
Lots of good romances start with a pretty boy
making the worst first impression.
12:49.560 --> 12:55.980
It's too bad you picked Yuko after Ucchi
to go talk to Yamazaki, and not me.
12:56.060 --> 12:59.060
I was hoping to get an IOU from you.
12:59.150 --> 13:04.520
I make it a point not to turn down
requests from pretty girls, IOU or not.
13:04.600 --> 13:07.600
Guess I'll ask you for a
special favor soon, then.
13:07.690 --> 13:09.150
Something like...
13:09.560 --> 13:12.230
Please be my boyfriend?
13:14.520 --> 13:16.980
Surprise attacks... my one weakness.
13:18.770 --> 13:20.230
Never mind.
13:20.310 --> 13:23.400
I got too into the role-playing earlier.
13:26.400 --> 13:30.350
So are your hooks in the front or the back?
13:30.440 --> 13:34.230
I have to know, or I don't think
I'll get any sleep tonight.
13:34.650 --> 13:36.150
The back.
13:36.520 --> 13:40.150
And it's blue—as blue as the April sky.
13:41.850 --> 13:44.060
Now I'm definitely not
getting any sleep tonight.
13:44.850 --> 13:47.060
Good night, Chitose.
13:47.770 --> 13:50.310
Good night, Nanase.
14:10.440 --> 14:13.440
These three weeks went by in a flash, huh?
14:13.520 --> 14:14.940
You put in the work,
14:15.230 --> 14:16.940
and you've slimmed down nicely.
14:17.810 --> 14:20.190
Heck, I think I've even toned up a little.
14:20.520 --> 14:22.980
Tomorrow's the day you go to battle, huh?
14:23.060 --> 14:27.520
Honestly, I don't even feel like
sticking it to them anymore.
14:27.600 --> 14:30.810
I just want them to think I've changed.
14:31.190 --> 14:33.690
Don't worry. You've definitely changed.
14:35.060 --> 14:37.060
Okay, let's hit the field.
14:40.440 --> 14:41.850
Saku!
14:41.940 --> 14:43.690
Kentacchi!
14:43.770 --> 14:46.980
- Hey! They looked my way!
- Hey, Chitose.
14:47.060 --> 14:49.270
What say we bet on a game?
14:50.310 --> 14:52.900
You're on. The loser has to
do an embarrassing dare.
14:53.310 --> 14:54.650
Bring it.
14:55.400 --> 14:57.600
Are you sure, King?
14:57.690 --> 15:00.980
Quit panicking, man. It's just a game.
15:01.100 --> 15:03.190
I'll send lots of passes your way, so be ready.
15:04.020 --> 15:05.150
Nope! No way!
15:05.230 --> 15:09.190
I'm not even good with my hands,
let alone my feet!
15:09.560 --> 15:12.060
You don't have to take part in the dare.
15:12.150 --> 15:13.940
Just chill and try to have fun.
15:14.560 --> 15:17.060
I really can't do this.
15:24.310 --> 15:28.600
Kenta! Go wait by the goal!
We'll let you have the best part!
15:39.350 --> 15:40.520
Okay, Kenta.
15:40.600 --> 15:41.810
Finish it!
15:47.940 --> 15:49.020
Whoa!
15:56.770 --> 15:58.730
Swing and a miss! Seriously?!
15:59.690 --> 16:02.060
Way too embarrassing!
16:02.400 --> 16:03.980
No worries, Kentacchi!
16:04.060 --> 16:05.600
Hang in there!
16:05.690 --> 16:07.850
Love that powerful swing.
16:08.270 --> 16:10.480
Would've been a monster
home run if you'd connected.
16:11.810 --> 16:14.690
I told you I couldn't do this.
16:19.690 --> 16:21.730
He could just see this as a bit of fun,
16:21.810 --> 16:23.980
but I guess he takes everything seriously.
16:24.810 --> 16:30.690
We enjoyed a good game of soccer after that,
passing to everyone, including Kenta.
16:31.020 --> 16:36.650
What's so good about winning by
excluding the unathletic types?
16:37.230 --> 16:41.230
Games are the most fun
when you get everyone involved.
16:44.480 --> 16:47.100
How long are you gonna
keep wasting time on that guy?
16:47.190 --> 16:50.730
Don't be like that.
Kenta's got a lot going for him.
16:51.600 --> 16:53.190
Like hell he does.
16:55.560 --> 16:57.650
Score!
16:57.730 --> 16:59.400
TEAM CHITOSE - TEAM UEMURA
16:59.480 --> 17:01.980
Get your head in the game, you guys!
17:02.230 --> 17:04.520
Saku! Show us who's boss!
17:04.600 --> 17:06.900
Make a comeback,
and I'll treat you to Hachiban's!
17:06.980 --> 17:08.480
You can do it, Yamazaki-kun!
17:08.560 --> 17:11.060
As you wish, ladies. Kenta!
17:11.900 --> 17:13.940
Let's finish this with a flurry!
17:14.020 --> 17:15.400
O-Okay!
17:25.730 --> 17:26.940
Good enough!
17:29.770 --> 17:30.770
Kenta!
17:36.020 --> 17:38.230
Wanna go for real to finish?
17:38.310 --> 17:39.440
Finally!
17:41.400 --> 17:42.520
Nice!
17:47.980 --> 17:49.100
You'd better score.
17:49.190 --> 17:50.940
This is the best part.
18:01.900 --> 18:03.310
Heck yeah!
18:03.400 --> 18:04.600
Way to go, Saku!
18:04.690 --> 18:07.400
- That's our boy.
- You did great, Yamazaki-kun!
18:07.480 --> 18:11.730
We lost, so let's do this right.
18:11.810 --> 18:12.810
Monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee!
18:23.980 --> 18:26.150
- Monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee!
- Hey! Squat lower!
18:26.230 --> 18:27.400
- Monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee!
- Keep going!
18:27.480 --> 18:29.980
Monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee!
18:34.230 --> 18:36.940
PE was such a riot today.
18:37.770 --> 18:41.150
The fact that I even paint a pretty picture
doing bunny hops terrifies me.
18:41.230 --> 18:44.480
Says the guy who got destroyed
all the way up to the very end.
18:44.560 --> 18:45.850
It was all Kenta's fault.
18:47.350 --> 18:50.480
I'll never forget Kentacchi's shots.
18:50.560 --> 18:53.230
Miss after miss, and he still kept trying.
18:53.940 --> 18:56.520
Can you believe how competitive that guy is?
18:58.480 --> 19:00.350
Hey, Kentacchi.
19:00.440 --> 19:03.650
You're late. We're going to Hachiban's.
19:03.730 --> 19:06.770
You're seriously gonna act
like that was nothing?
19:07.730 --> 19:08.730
What do you mean?
19:08.810 --> 19:11.440
I heard you talking shit and laughing at me!
19:12.520 --> 19:16.850
Listen, I would've teased you
the same way to your face.
19:17.230 --> 19:19.100
Uemura-kun was right.
19:19.560 --> 19:23.190
I was just a clown acting as your foil.
19:23.480 --> 19:26.150
Kentacchi, you've got the wrong idea.
19:26.520 --> 19:30.230
Yeah, I guess our deal ends tomorrow, anyway.
19:30.690 --> 19:32.690
What did Atomu say to you?
19:37.190 --> 19:41.900
To us, PE is nothing but suffering.
19:42.440 --> 19:44.520
But you dragged me in anyway,
19:44.600 --> 19:47.560
only to hog the spotlight
for yourself in the end.
19:48.060 --> 19:51.060
You have no idea how
pathetic it makes us feel!
19:51.150 --> 19:55.850
Everything you people do
makes a mockery out of us!
19:56.650 --> 19:59.650
Uh... sorry about that.
20:02.560 --> 20:03.600
Seriously?!
20:03.900 --> 20:07.190
You spent all this time with Saku,
and you really think he's like that?
20:07.270 --> 20:11.770
You really think he'd laugh
at your failures behind your back?!
20:14.690 --> 20:15.730
Stop.
20:16.980 --> 20:19.350
If I made Kenta feel that way,
20:19.440 --> 20:21.690
then I crossed the line
between banter and bullying.
20:23.440 --> 20:25.400
I'm really sorry.
20:31.730 --> 20:32.770
Kenta!
20:33.190 --> 20:34.520
Do your best tomorrow!
20:37.650 --> 20:39.270
I believe in you.
20:43.600 --> 20:46.060
Are you sure this is how you want it to end?
20:46.150 --> 20:50.310
It's fine. We'd agreed that
it would be three weeks, tops.
20:50.400 --> 20:52.810
We'll just go our separate ways from tomorrow.
20:53.400 --> 20:56.350
I hope it goes well for Kentacchi.
20:56.440 --> 20:57.650
I know it will.
20:57.730 --> 21:00.980
I mean, you coached him
day and night for three weeks.
21:01.100 --> 21:03.310
Hey, you helped a lot, too.
21:04.060 --> 21:05.810
Right, I just "helped."
21:05.900 --> 21:09.310
I wouldn't have gotten involved if you hadn't,
21:09.400 --> 21:12.440
and I didn't really think
Kentacchi could change.
21:12.770 --> 21:15.310
That's the difference between you and me.
21:15.400 --> 21:17.350
That's what it takes to be a hero.
21:18.060 --> 21:19.980
I'm no hero.
21:20.100 --> 21:22.690
You're just putting me on a pedestal.
21:24.400 --> 21:30.600
Well, I don't believe that people who claim
they're heroes are actually heroes.
21:31.440 --> 21:36.480
The truly good people are the ones who are
never really sure they're good enough.
21:36.940 --> 21:40.400
Not sure I believe you,
given your taste in men.
21:40.480 --> 21:42.400
Hey, that's mean!
21:44.150 --> 21:48.230
I've had lots of eyes on me
ever since I was little,
21:48.310 --> 21:49.730
so I know I have a good eye.
21:52.650 --> 21:56.020
I'll try to trust it as much as I can, then.
21:57.400 --> 21:58.730
Good.
22:00.310 --> 22:02.440
Because it'll probably never change.
