WEBVTT

00:14.090 --> 00:17.390
Huh? Um... What?!

00:17.390 --> 00:20.430
Wh-What was that for?!

00:20.430 --> 00:23.890
So... the rumors were true.

00:25.560 --> 00:27.560
Rumors?

00:27.560 --> 00:29.480
That you lost your memories.

00:29.480 --> 00:33.820
Yeah, Chinu-san! That's why
your kiss shocked me!

00:33.820 --> 00:35.450
You know my name?

00:35.450 --> 00:38.620
Well, I saw you in a magazine.

00:38.620 --> 00:40.370
I see.

00:40.370 --> 00:42.290
Hmm?

00:42.290 --> 00:44.450
Were we like "that"?

00:44.450 --> 00:45.500
"That"?

00:45.500 --> 00:49.080
I take it we had something
special going on?

00:49.080 --> 00:54.130
If so, I probably dropped the "-san"
from your name, right?

00:54.130 --> 00:56.880
Do I dare say it?

00:56.880 --> 00:59.180
--Chinu... Chinu... Chinu... Chinu--

00:59.180 --> 01:01.970
--Um, in your dreams.
--Chinu... Chinu... Chinu... Chinu--

01:01.970 --> 01:02.760
Huh?

01:02.760 --> 01:06.100
I hardly know you.
It's our third time talking.

01:06.100 --> 01:07.140
Huh?

01:07.140 --> 01:12.020
The first time was in 9th grade
at a spring event.

01:14.320 --> 01:17.150
You dropped your chamois towel.

01:17.150 --> 01:20.530
When I said, "Hey, your shammy"...

01:20.530 --> 01:23.370
...you said, "Oh, thanks."

01:24.330 --> 01:25.540
That was it.

01:25.540 --> 01:27.000
Uh...

01:27.000 --> 01:29.290
The second time was over there.

01:29.290 --> 01:30.130
Huh?

01:30.130 --> 01:33.380
That summer, you came to my school...

01:35.000 --> 01:39.090
You said, "I liked you ever since,"
and sorta confessed.

01:39.090 --> 01:40.640
"Sorta"?

01:40.640 --> 01:43.680
But when I refused, you said:

01:43.680 --> 01:48.390
"When I'm Japan's best water
polo player, you owe me a kiss."

01:48.390 --> 01:52.440
That sounds like something
I might've said.

01:52.440 --> 01:58.400
And, "I'll pay you 110,000 yen if I fail,"
so I agreed to shut you up.

01:58.400 --> 02:03.620
Argh, I'm the worst!
What a weird number--110,000.

02:03.620 --> 02:05.040
It's "plus tax."

02:05.040 --> 02:06.790
Sounds like me.

02:06.790 --> 02:13.080
So, since you won the Momotaro Cup,
I kept my part of the promise.

02:13.080 --> 02:15.250
I see.

02:16.250 --> 02:18.670
Isn't that Yamanami's uniform?

02:18.670 --> 02:19.470
Hmm?

02:19.470 --> 02:22.140
Why? Their team isn't strong.

02:22.140 --> 02:25.260
I'm not playing. It's close to home.

02:25.260 --> 02:27.270
You're not playing?!

02:27.270 --> 02:31.440
For starters, I don't even
remember the rules!

02:31.440 --> 02:33.980
It's hopeless for me.

02:35.270 --> 02:36.520
Huh?

02:36.520 --> 02:39.990
Then, I guess I won the bet.

02:39.990 --> 02:41.400
Huh?

02:42.450 --> 02:47.540
An accident? Here I thought he
was too dumb for high school.

02:47.540 --> 02:50.250
Not quite.

02:50.250 --> 02:52.460
So that's why he won't play?!

02:52.460 --> 02:53.920
Seems to be.

02:53.920 --> 02:58.630
Oh my god! And he was my star of hope!

02:58.630 --> 03:05.930
Unfortunately, I think he's stepping away
from water polo for good... Huh?

03:05.930 --> 03:09.350
Hmm? He's coming this way.

03:09.350 --> 03:10.930
I'll join!

03:10.930 --> 03:12.060
What'd he say?

03:12.060 --> 03:13.400
I'll join!

03:13.400 --> 03:14.350
Huh?

03:14.350 --> 03:15.400
What?!

03:15.400 --> 03:19.900
I'll join the water polo club!

03:19.900 --> 03:21.240
Eh?

04:52.490 --> 04:55.500
"Episode 2: I'm No Prodigy"

04:55.500 --> 04:58.750
"Episode 2: I'm No Prodigy"
"Club Enrollment Form"
"Water Polo"
"Minato Kiyomizu"

05:00.790 --> 05:04.010
Then, I guess I won the bet.

05:04.010 --> 05:06.670
You don't remember the other half?

05:06.670 --> 05:08.180
The other half?

05:08.180 --> 05:12.760
"If I'm Japan's best in high school,
you've gotta date me."

05:12.760 --> 05:13.770
Huh?!

05:13.770 --> 05:20.060
And when I refused, you said,
"I'll pay you 220,000 yen if I'm not."

05:20.060 --> 05:22.400
That bet doesn't hold up!

05:22.400 --> 05:26.860
Huh? I kissed you! I held up my end!

05:26.860 --> 05:30.910
There's no way I could pull that off now!

05:31.950 --> 05:35.250
Since when were you this pathetic?

05:35.250 --> 05:36.710
Uh...

05:36.710 --> 05:39.920
You didn't used to be like this.

05:41.500 --> 05:44.090
You disappoint me. Goodbye.

05:44.090 --> 05:46.800
Uh, fine!

05:46.800 --> 05:48.090
I'll pay up!

05:48.090 --> 05:50.050
--Unbelievable!
--Huh?

05:50.050 --> 05:53.850
Start playing water polo again!
Why give up?

05:53.850 --> 05:55.770
C'mon! "Japan's best"?

05:55.770 --> 05:57.980
Then, Okayama's best.

05:57.980 --> 05:59.230
Still...

05:59.230 --> 06:01.860
Then, dish out the money!

06:04.360 --> 06:06.860
"Episode 2: I'm No Prodigy"
"Club Enrollment Form"
"Water Polo"

06:07.440 --> 06:09.530
Guess I've gotta.

06:10.660 --> 06:16.080
I started by telling my family
I was picking up water polo again.

06:16.080 --> 06:19.580
That made it so I couldn't quit on a whim.

06:19.580 --> 06:23.080
No need to force yourself.
Don't do it for us.

06:23.080 --> 06:28.590
I'm totally not. It's because...
water polo is calling me.

06:28.590 --> 06:32.640
Rather, it's got me by the wallet.

06:32.640 --> 06:33.800
Oh, really?

06:33.800 --> 06:35.600
That's my dumb brother.

06:35.600 --> 06:37.390
Hey!

06:37.390 --> 06:42.060
But... I know you'll work hard, Big Bro.

06:44.400 --> 06:45.730
Yup!

06:50.360 --> 06:56.120
If everyone's this happy,
I'm glad I decided to start.

06:57.740 --> 07:04.130
Having said that, how does one
work hard at water polo?

07:04.130 --> 07:07.840
Swimming? Lifting? Or something else--?

07:07.840 --> 07:09.340
There he is!

07:09.340 --> 07:10.420
Hmm?

07:10.420 --> 07:12.840
Kiyomizu, you're a star!

07:12.840 --> 07:14.590
Hey, prodigy!

07:14.590 --> 07:16.510
Huh? What?

07:16.510 --> 07:19.390
These were on our desks.

07:20.520 --> 07:20.890
"Hey Dudes!!"

07:20.890 --> 07:25.270
"Hey Dudes!!"

07:20.890 --> 07:25.270
"If you wanna go to Nationals,
join the water polo club.

07:25.270 --> 07:31.950
We've got Minato Kiyomizu,
who was #1 in Japan during junior high.

07:31.950 --> 07:36.410
With him, we'll make it to Nationals.
Don't miss this chance.

07:36.410 --> 07:41.160
See you at the pool.
Water Polo Captain, Jo Jojima."

07:41.160 --> 07:42.040
"Here!"
"Water Polo Club!!"

07:42.710 --> 07:44.870
What the hell?!

07:49.420 --> 07:52.170
Hey, blondie boy!

07:52.170 --> 07:53.930
You scared me!

07:53.930 --> 07:58.220
Can you not distribute these?
It's annoying.

07:58.220 --> 08:01.020
C'mon, man! You're our ace!

08:01.020 --> 08:04.520
I'm not an ace. And it's annoying
that you're calling--

08:04.520 --> 08:11.320
There he is! The one on the right
is the prodigy, Minato!

08:11.320 --> 08:12.820
About that--

08:12.820 --> 08:18.490
Gentlemen! Welcome to the
future-water-polo-champions club!

08:19.830 --> 08:22.750
Let's work hard with our prodigy, Minato!

08:22.750 --> 08:24.210
Yeah!

08:24.210 --> 08:25.710
Cut it out!

08:25.710 --> 08:28.080
Huh?

08:28.080 --> 08:30.380
I'm no prodigy.

08:33.300 --> 08:38.510
I might've been before, but my
muscles atrophied from the accident

08:38.510 --> 08:42.470
and I can't even remember playing it.

08:42.470 --> 08:46.640
Everyone's high expectations
are tough on me.

08:46.640 --> 08:50.860
So... can you not get your hopes up?

08:52.860 --> 08:54.110
Lame.

08:54.110 --> 08:56.150
Bummer.

08:56.150 --> 08:57.910
Then I'm out.

08:57.910 --> 08:58.870
Me, too!

08:58.870 --> 09:00.830
--No point.
--Yeah.

09:00.830 --> 09:01.620
Uh...

09:01.620 --> 09:04.040
H-Hey, wait!

09:07.790 --> 09:09.580
I'm sorry.

09:10.590 --> 09:14.880
I tried to get members without
considering your feelings.

09:14.880 --> 09:20.760
It's okay. But since everyone left,
what's the plan now?

09:20.760 --> 09:22.260
Not everyone.

09:22.260 --> 09:24.140
--Huh?
--See?

09:25.850 --> 09:30.020
Whoa! You guys stayed behind!

09:31.230 --> 09:32.820
You're huge!

09:32.820 --> 09:39.200
I'm Class 1-A, Yutaka Babayaro Inomata.
My dad's Nigerian.

09:39.200 --> 09:42.410
I kinda got dragged along.

09:44.410 --> 09:47.870
Your words inspired me to join.

09:47.870 --> 09:51.960
Huh? What words?
I said something inspirational?

09:51.960 --> 09:57.670
"The dough's fermenting.
You gotta wait for it to rise."

09:57.670 --> 09:58.510
Huh?

09:58.510 --> 10:00.140
--Huh?
--Huh?

10:00.140 --> 10:02.350
I'm quoting a pâtissier.

10:02.350 --> 10:03.930
Yeah?

10:03.930 --> 10:08.180
Why quote a pâtissier? What a mystery.

10:11.810 --> 10:13.820
...to meet you.

10:15.440 --> 10:19.490
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Nobody even heard you talk!

10:19.490 --> 10:22.070
In a louder voice, please!

10:22.070 --> 10:26.540
Class 1-C, Yoshiharu Ushimado.
My dad's Japanese. Nice to meet you.

10:26.540 --> 10:29.250
Do we need to know about dads?

10:29.250 --> 10:30.920
Why join water polo?

10:30.920 --> 10:33.080
Just... because.

10:33.080 --> 10:33.960
That's it?

10:33.960 --> 10:35.340
If that's bad, I'll go.

10:35.340 --> 10:36.960
--Wait, wait, wait!
--Wait, wait, wait!

10:36.960 --> 10:39.300
Yet another mysterious guy!

10:39.300 --> 10:43.970
Just forget it, Captain.
I know! Show us the pool!

10:43.970 --> 10:46.970
Good idea! C'mon, let's go!

10:46.970 --> 10:47.890
Okay!

10:47.890 --> 10:50.390
Pool! Pool! Pool!

10:51.640 --> 10:52.810
"Water Polo Club"

10:52.810 --> 10:55.730
Club life is about to begin!

10:55.730 --> 10:58.280
Yeah! Let's do this!

10:59.400 --> 11:04.030
Behold! Here's our
magnificent playing field!

11:07.660 --> 11:08.870
Huh?

11:10.080 --> 11:11.620
Where is it?

11:13.540 --> 11:20.420
Apparently, the pool was once used for
classes, but it got old and forgotten.

11:20.420 --> 11:22.300
Since it was deep, some students
wanted to use it for water polo,

11:22.300 --> 11:26.050
"Principal's Office"
"Principal"

11:22.300 --> 11:26.050
Since it was deep, some students
wanted to use it for water polo,

11:26.050 --> 11:29.270
"Water Polo Club"

11:26.050 --> 11:29.270
so they got the school's
permission to use it.

11:29.270 --> 11:32.940
But being outside,
it's cold for most the year.

11:32.940 --> 11:37.360
So they laid out a blue cover
to keep the water warm.

11:37.360 --> 11:41.570
They also built a little
shack with a bath.

11:41.570 --> 11:45.950
Even when it's cold,
they train by wearing wet suits.

11:45.950 --> 11:49.120
Or so blondie boy says.

11:49.120 --> 11:52.120
Is everyone still with me?

11:52.120 --> 11:53.540
--Yeah.
--Mmm.

11:53.540 --> 11:55.750
Water polo sounds rough.

11:55.750 --> 11:59.090
I've never heard of a pool like this.

11:59.090 --> 12:06.760
When I started school here last year,
the club had been disbanded for 10 years!

12:06.760 --> 12:07.930
Hmm?

12:07.930 --> 12:11.850
In other words,
I'm the one who revived it!

12:11.850 --> 12:14.440
--It was pretty rough.
--Play water polo! It's fun!

12:14.440 --> 12:17.110
--I asked everyone in sight.
--Um... Please! Please!

12:17.110 --> 12:21.440
--Somehow, I got the seven people
needed to restart the club.
--Yeah! Let's do this, guys!

12:21.440 --> 12:25.360
--Thing is, none of them
really got into it
--If we're gonna do this, let's aim
to be the best in Japan! The best!

12:25.360 --> 12:27.570
and they quit in a flash.

12:27.570 --> 12:28.200
"Resignation" "I quit"
"I can't keep up. I quit." "I'm out."

12:28.200 --> 12:31.410
"Resignation" "I quit"

12:28.200 --> 12:31.410
"I can't keep up. I quit." "I'm out."
Soon enough, it was only me.

12:31.410 --> 12:38.590
Since I couldn't compete, I kept the
pool clean and trained all by myself.

12:38.590 --> 12:39.670
--Huh?
--Huh?

12:39.670 --> 12:44.760
And I did it 'cuz I believed that
new members would come!

12:45.550 --> 12:47.300
"Wishing for 7 members"

12:47.800 --> 12:50.310
Then you guys joined! Thank you!

12:50.310 --> 12:52.930
Um! Sorry to spoil the moment.

12:52.930 --> 12:53.730
Huh?

12:53.730 --> 12:56.480
Are you the only upperclassmen?

12:56.480 --> 12:57.400
Yup.

12:57.400 --> 12:59.060
So, this is everyone?

12:59.060 --> 12:59.940
Yup.

12:59.940 --> 13:02.730
--Water polo takes seven?
--Yup.

13:02.730 --> 13:04.690
--We're short.
--Yup.

13:04.690 --> 13:09.570
What do you mean, "Yup"?!
We don't have enough to play!

13:09.570 --> 13:10.870
Yup.

13:10.870 --> 13:12.660
Oy!

13:12.660 --> 13:15.540
Now I need a job for that 220,000!

13:15.540 --> 13:17.080
Sounds cool!

13:17.080 --> 13:18.790
Huh?

13:18.790 --> 13:24.760
If joining means you're a regular,
it's got that minor sport vibe!

13:24.760 --> 13:29.970
I was just passing by.
The name's Takekazu Ejiri. Count me in!

13:29.970 --> 13:34.640
Woo! Here's our sixth! Come on in!

13:34.640 --> 13:40.480
Oh, man! He looks like a troublemaker.
Do they normally play sports?

13:40.480 --> 13:43.270
Captain! Can I make a request?

13:43.270 --> 13:45.320
Hell yeah! What's up?

13:45.320 --> 13:50.530
I wanna play keeper. We'll never lose
if no one scores on us.

13:50.530 --> 13:54.740
Sorry, I'm our keeper.
Pick another position.

13:54.740 --> 13:58.210
Huh? Who decided on that?

13:58.210 --> 14:03.210
Well, it kinda was the only thing
I could train on my own.

14:03.210 --> 14:07.130
In other words, you gave
yourself the position, pal.

14:07.130 --> 14:08.430
"Pal"?

14:08.430 --> 14:12.390
This ain't right.
I might be better than you.

14:12.390 --> 14:14.220
Oh, yeah?

14:14.220 --> 14:17.020
Let's compete with PKs.

14:17.020 --> 14:18.690
--Huh?
--Huh?

14:18.690 --> 14:22.060
Oh?! What now?

14:22.060 --> 14:24.320
Huh? How should I know?!

14:24.320 --> 14:27.070
Have you played water polo?

14:27.070 --> 14:31.780
Nope. But with my talent, it'll be easy.

14:33.370 --> 14:35.490
Listen here. Water--

14:35.490 --> 14:38.540
Don't underestimate water polo!

14:38.540 --> 14:42.420
Okay! We'll have a contest! Right, Senpai?

14:42.420 --> 14:43.750
Who made you boss?!

14:43.750 --> 14:48.920
It'll be fine! Show us your
skills and kick his butt!

14:48.920 --> 14:50.630
Don't pressure me!

14:50.630 --> 14:53.340
Minato here can take the shots.

14:53.340 --> 14:54.220
Huh?!

14:54.220 --> 14:57.220
We need the same shooter so it's fair.

14:57.220 --> 15:00.810
But me, shooting?

15:00.810 --> 15:04.190
You haven't been in the water yet, right?

15:04.190 --> 15:07.780
Your body might remember once you're in.

15:14.370 --> 15:16.280
All right.

15:16.280 --> 15:17.580
Mmm.

15:24.540 --> 15:27.130
His body makes the cut.

15:28.130 --> 15:31.800
We've really gotta wear
these dorky things?

15:31.800 --> 15:34.760
It's either that or you can't play.

15:34.760 --> 15:36.600
Yeah, yeah.

15:41.730 --> 15:43.900
He's ripped.

15:43.900 --> 15:48.480
I used to be seriously into baseball.

15:48.480 --> 15:51.740
These hats don't fit very well.

15:51.740 --> 15:53.700
It's on backward!

15:53.700 --> 15:55.820
Huh? Really?

15:58.790 --> 16:03.040
Was his body always this slender?

16:03.040 --> 16:04.500
All right.

16:08.250 --> 16:11.460
What if my memory really comes back?

16:12.880 --> 16:14.930
--Huh?
--What?

16:30.110 --> 16:33.990
Whoa! This feeling...!

16:35.280 --> 16:36.530
Brr!

16:36.530 --> 16:39.080
Don't go jumping in! It's dangerous!

16:39.080 --> 16:40.870
Sorry!

16:40.870 --> 16:46.080
The cold packs a punch this time of year.
Let's make this quick.

16:46.080 --> 16:48.250
Works for me.

16:49.750 --> 16:55.550
Ejiri goes first, and Captain, second.
We'll compete with sudden death.

16:57.260 --> 17:00.390
It's bigger and harder than I thought.

17:00.390 --> 17:05.140
All right, Minato-senpai!
Go ahead and throw!

17:05.140 --> 17:07.770
Huh? Oh, right.

17:07.770 --> 17:12.190
Even with that body,
I bet he's an awesome shot.

17:19.740 --> 17:20.580
Uh...

17:20.580 --> 17:22.620
Hell yeah!

17:24.620 --> 17:27.670
That counts as me blocking, right?!

17:27.670 --> 17:29.540
Whatever.

17:31.880 --> 17:37.380
Huh? How am I supposed to throw?!
It's too deep to get footing!

17:37.380 --> 17:40.220
You've gotta eggbeater and jump!

17:40.220 --> 17:42.100
What's an eggbeater?!

17:42.100 --> 17:43.390
For real?

17:43.390 --> 17:44.890
For real...?

17:44.890 --> 17:47.890
Hurry up and throw! I'm freezing!

17:47.890 --> 17:49.230
Sorry!

17:49.230 --> 17:55.150
It's against the rules, but use
two hands to throw if that helps.

17:56.690 --> 18:00.570
Two hands... All right.

18:00.570 --> 18:01.950
Here goes!

18:07.370 --> 18:09.040
Nice arc!

18:09.040 --> 18:10.880
That's in!

18:18.380 --> 18:21.220
Whoa!

18:21.220 --> 18:24.760
He wasn't kidding about training.

18:24.760 --> 18:27.640
I'd be scared to go up against him.

18:27.640 --> 18:29.020
Mmm.

18:31.560 --> 18:34.980
How do you jump that high in water?

18:34.980 --> 18:37.940
That last shot might be trouble.

18:37.940 --> 18:41.450
I know! If I move back...

18:41.450 --> 18:42.950
Perfect!

18:45.950 --> 18:47.580
In that case...

18:53.710 --> 18:55.130
Yes!

18:56.170 --> 18:57.760
Dammit.

18:58.670 --> 19:01.720
Why can't I sit on the bench?!

19:01.720 --> 19:06.390
Unfortunately, there're lots
of players of your caliber.

19:06.390 --> 19:10.890
Even I wanna feel talented at something...

19:12.600 --> 19:16.150
That's why I ditched baseball.

19:16.150 --> 19:17.570
Dammit!

19:17.570 --> 19:22.780
Yeah! I did it! That felt great!

19:28.410 --> 19:31.210
H-Huh? Is he hurt?

19:31.210 --> 19:32.870
He'll drown.

19:50.430 --> 19:53.560
He's fine. Just a leg cramp.

19:53.560 --> 19:55.440
Phew!

19:56.480 --> 19:59.980
I've never seen him in such a sad state.

19:59.980 --> 20:02.280
Sorry about that.

20:02.280 --> 20:03.990
Don't mention it.

20:03.990 --> 20:07.410
But now we can't finish the PKs.

20:07.410 --> 20:08.990
It's over.

20:08.990 --> 20:10.830
--Huh?
--Huh?

20:12.040 --> 20:17.790
I can't jump like that in the water,
or kick off the wall like him.

20:17.790 --> 20:24.220
It's clear I won't win.
I've got no talent for water polo.

20:24.220 --> 20:30.310
I joined with ulterior motives.
I thought I'd be big in a minor sport.

20:30.310 --> 20:33.730
Sorry for underestimating water polo.

20:35.230 --> 20:36.690
I resign.

20:36.690 --> 20:37.520
Huh?

20:37.520 --> 20:39.900
It was brief, but thank you.

20:39.900 --> 20:41.230
Too brief!

20:41.230 --> 20:42.820
Peace out.

20:42.820 --> 20:45.160
Please, stay on!

20:47.700 --> 20:48.450
But--

20:48.450 --> 20:51.540
I don't care about your motives!

21:09.140 --> 21:14.310
Please! I don't wanna have
to train alone again!

21:14.350 --> 21:16.350
"Wishing for 7 members"

21:16.640 --> 21:20.570
Help me actually play in a match! Please!

21:22.030 --> 21:22.690
But--

21:22.690 --> 21:27.990
Don't give up! It's your first time!
You might have talent for it!

21:29.160 --> 21:35.040
If you leave, you'll miss out on seeing
something your talents could make.

21:35.040 --> 21:36.410
Hmm?

21:37.790 --> 21:39.880
What's that?

21:39.880 --> 21:41.420
A splash.

21:42.840 --> 21:47.720
Oh, man! He seriously made that joke?!

21:47.720 --> 21:49.140
I'll stay.

21:49.140 --> 21:50.760
It hooked 'em!

21:50.760 --> 21:52.850
--Yeah!
--Yeah!

21:53.850 --> 21:59.600
You can brag about stopping me
when I'm the best player, Captain!

21:59.600 --> 22:00.610
Yeah!

22:00.610 --> 22:04.360
Let's rock! Water polo, here I come!

22:04.360 --> 22:07.320
But aren't we a person short?

22:07.320 --> 22:08.610
Oh, yeah...

22:08.610 --> 22:13.910
Leave that to your captain!
I've got my eyes on someone.

22:13.910 --> 22:15.370
Oh?

22:16.500 --> 22:24.550
Shugo Amihama. Ranked 3rd in last
year's junior high 100-meter freestyle.

22:24.550 --> 22:25.670
Ooh!

22:25.670 --> 22:29.260
Fast swimmers have
a big advantage in polo!

22:29.260 --> 22:32.890
If he joins us, we'll be super strong!

22:32.890 --> 22:35.100
Awesome!

22:35.100 --> 22:36.890
But...

22:39.350 --> 22:42.650
It looks like he joined track.

22:42.650 --> 22:44.110
Huh?
