1. I didn't decide
against the high-scoring jumpsCopy !req
2. because I don't think you can do them.Copy !req
3. Huh?Copy !req
4. If you can perfect the jumps
that you're already doing,Copy !req
5. it'll get you more points
than something flashy.Copy !req
6. Oh... Really?Copy !req
7. Make sure you take off
from the correct edge, one.Copy !req
8. And two, think about the flow
into your landings.Copy !req
9. If you can just focus in on those
two little things, that's extra points.Copy !req
10. Just focus.Copy !req
11. Yep. So get out there and nail it
like I know you can.Copy !req
12. And you're gonna knock the socks
off all these guys.Copy !req
13. Keep calm and skate on.Copy !req
14. That face.Copy !req
15. He really believes I can win. I can tell.Copy !req
16. Number 24, Inori Yuitsuka...Copy !req
17. from Lux Higashiyama FSC.Copy !req
18. - Knock 'em dead!
- Okay!Copy !req
19. What did you... Oh.Copy !req
20. I'm going to do my absolute best!Copy !req
21. Wait. What?Copy !req
22. - Why did I fall?
- Inori!Copy !req
23. Your set hasn't started. It's okay!Copy !req
24. Just get in place quick!Copy !req
25. Okay.Copy !req
26. Well,
that took a few years off my life...Copy !req
27. I think that just about killed me.Copy !req
28. What a huge burst of speed.Copy !req
29. How did I do that?Copy !req
30. I was focusing on my skates,
making sure I started out firm...Copy !req
31. Wait. That's the stuff
Coach Tsukasa's always telling me to do.Copy !req
32. Her victory today is riding
on a perfect run.Copy !req
33. No falls, no missteps, no mistakes.Copy !req
34. Please recover.Copy !req
35. You can do it.Copy !req
36. First jump, single Axel.Copy !req
37. Yes!Copy !req
38. Good, an effortless landing.Copy !req
39. Keep it up. Here comes the hard one.Copy !req
40. Double Salchow!Copy !req
41. - Perfect!
- I've got it now.Copy !req
42. If I just put all my weight
on the edge I'm skating on,Copy !req
43. I can go faster and faster.Copy !req
44. It's really effective.Copy !req
45. ButCopy !req
46. it's really exhausting!Copy !req
47. I'm gliding smoother than usual, though,
so I gotta keep up.Copy !req
48. Nice!Copy !req
49. The right point of balance will maximize
your speed and your grace.Copy !req
50. So find your center
and just keep practicing.Copy !req
51. Before you know it, you'll be flying.Copy !req
52. Of course.Copy !req
53. Align your weight. Keep your core strong...Copy !req
54. "Get it right, and the ice and your blades
will do all the work for you."Copy !req
55. I think I finally understand
what you were saying, Coach.Copy !req
56. My skates are working with me.
They're making me stronger!Copy !req
57. Those two double jumps
were her biggest challenges today.Copy !req
58. And they were the best
she's ever done 'em.Copy !req
59. Next, she'll tackle the step sequence,Copy !req
60. which is a required program element
from here on out.Copy !req
61. Not that I'm worried about it.Copy !req
62. Our taiyaki method is gonna make this
a great new source of points for Inori.Copy !req
63. Oh, no. She's tired.Copy !req
64. It's probably muscle fatigue.Copy !req
65. Please, hang in there.Copy !req
66. My legs are like jelly.Copy !req
67. I feel like I'm about to mess up.Copy !req
68. But I don't want all my taiyaki practice
to go to waste!Copy !req
69. How does Coach do it?Copy !req
70. His hands were so beautiful.Copy !req
71. It was mesmerizing, like magic.Copy !req
72. But I bet I can do that, too.Copy !req
73. Inori...Copy !req
74. Graceful skating has both fast
and slow movements.Copy !req
75. And the slow ones take strength.Copy !req
76. I may not have the muscles for that yet,
but I will one day!Copy !req
77. For now,
I just gotta show them what I do have!Copy !req
78. One more big push!Copy !req
79. - Whoa!
- Is that a flying sit spin?Copy !req
80. Come on, come on, come on!Copy !req
81. Extend your arm way out,
arch your back as far as you can...Copy !req
82. For the tougher, elevated broken leg
that we worked so hard on!Copy !req
83. That's my girl!Copy !req
84. Oh!Copy !req
85. It's over.Copy !req
86. Huh?Copy !req
87. Coach Tsukasa...Copy !req
88. Inori.Copy !req
89. How you feeling? You okay?Copy !req
90. Hold on.Copy !req
91. Where are we going?Copy !req
92. Is Inori hurt?Copy !req
93. She'll be fine. You need to focus
on your own performance now.Copy !req
94. Okay.Copy !req
95. Inori Yuitsuka's score isCopy !req
96. 24.32.Copy !req
97. She is currently in first place.Copy !req
98. NURSE'S OFFICECopy !req
99. Looks like
you sprained your ankle.Copy !req
100. I might recommend going to the hospital
for an X-ray, though, just in case.Copy !req
101. Okay, thank you.Copy !req
102. - Sorry, Inori.
- Hmm?Copy !req
103. I think it's best if you skip
the award ceremony.Copy !req
104. Okay.Copy !req
105. I'll go get her things
and arrange for a taxi.Copy !req
106. Um, Coach?Copy !req
107. Is it okay if I stay long enough
to watch Ema's performance?Copy !req
108. She goes last, and
I at least wanna know what place I got.Copy !req
109. Yeah, you got it.Copy !req
110. Do you hurt anywhere else
besides your leg?Copy !req
111. Oh, no.
Mostly I'm just sore, but it's fine.Copy !req
112. I noticed the pain kinda goes away
after I've warmed up.Copy !req
113. I don't see a problem
with her staying longer to watch,Copy !req
114. but it's possible that
she may have shin splints.Copy !req
115. Um, Coach, what's a shin splint?Copy !req
116. We can get into that later.Copy !req
117. But it's almost time for Ema to skate.Copy !req
118. Let's go talk to your mom
and find a good spot in the audience.Copy !req
119. Ah...Copy !req
120. Hey. Mr. Sekoma!Copy !req
121. Are you feeling all right, Inori?Copy !req
122. Yep. Thank you for coming.
I'm happy to see you.Copy !req
123. Number 32. Ema YamatoCopy !req
124. - from Rengecha FSC.
- Wow, we're right on time.Copy !req
125. You got this, Ema. Debut the new you,
and let's win this thing.Copy !req
126. You want to introduce her
to a different club? Seriously?Copy !req
127. She's gonna hear that as, "You're
not good enough to stay here with us."Copy !req
128. Rengecha FSC
picks up 20 new skaters a year.Copy !req
129. And they all whip past level one.
But Ema's been in Prelim how long, now?Copy !req
130. I'm only thinking
about what's best for her.Copy !req
131. - Howdy!
- Oh...Copy !req
132. How ya doing?
Is that leg still bugging ya?Copy !req
133. It's okay.Copy !req
134. There's something
I wanted to ask you about.Copy !req
135. Hmm?Copy !req
136. What's with this?
Practice starts in ten minutes.Copy !req
137. You should eat up.Copy !req
138. Nah.Copy !req
139. Huh?Copy !req
140. When I eat a lot, I get taller.
And it makes my legs hurt.Copy !req
141. So if eating is gonna keep me
from skating,Copy !req
142. then I'll stop.Copy !req
143. Ema...Copy !req
144. I...Copy !req
145. What's the matter?Copy !req
146. You're being awful silly.Copy !req
147. We're gonna make you a brilliant skater no
matter how tall you might get, you hear?Copy !req
148. So you don't gotta go
and do something dumb like that.Copy !req
149. Now get this down, and let's keep at it.Copy !req
150. She's been through so much.Copy !req
151. But with how far she's come,
she can take it easy and win no problem.Copy !req
152. That Lutz was ridiculous!Copy !req
153. Yeah, she didn't even look like
she was trying!Copy !req
154. A double Lutz...Copy !req
155. A Lutz takes off from the right outer edge
and twists leftward,Copy !req
156. which is tough to pull offCopy !req
157. and even harder to land.Copy !req
158. Yet she made it look so simple.Copy !req
159. They'll never know how much blood,
sweat, and tears went into this.Copy !req
160. This was just a bad day
for growing pains, huh?Copy !req
161. I really hate
how bad I am at this right now.Copy !req
162. But it's fine. I'm gonna keep doing it.
And I'll never hate skating.Copy !req
163. Ema,Copy !req
164. I thought you were like me because
we took the level one test together.Copy !req
165. But you're not. You're so much better.Copy !req
166. Your moves, your jumps...Copy !req
167. It's impossible to do
what you do overnight.Copy !req
168. You mastered a million things,
and then put them all together.Copy !req
169. Stuff I'm just now learning,
you've been able to do for a long time.Copy !req
170. With as much as I've practiced,
all the work I've done,Copy !req
171. even the hard jumps are nothing special
to me.Copy !req
172. A double flip/double toe loop combo!Copy !req
173. Those are the highest difficulty jumps
level one will allow this year.Copy !req
174. Take that pain, the experience,Copy !req
175. the hurt,
and leave it all out there on the ice.Copy !req
176. Not being able to practice,
getting left behind by other skaters,Copy !req
177. other coaches,
I'll put everything into this performance.Copy !req
178. A flying camel spin!Copy !req
179. Yeah!Copy !req
180. - Never mind.
- Hmm?Copy !req
181. I take back what I said
about level one sucking.Copy !req
182. There weren't no triples in there,Copy !req
183. but you can't deny that girl's skill.
Level don't matter skating like that.Copy !req
184. Hmm.Copy !req
185. You know,
I can't stand you when you act all mature.Copy !req
186. That was amazing.Copy !req
187. Ema Yamato's score isCopy !req
188. 25.57.Copy !req
189. She is currently in first place.Copy !req
190. You were wonderful.Copy !req
191. Thank you.Copy !req
192. One more, look.Copy !req
193. - Right at the camera, please.
- This rules!Copy !req
194. This sucks!Copy !req
195. I can't believe
I didn't even make the podium!Copy !req
196. Big fish left the small pond.Copy !req
197. I'd like to see you try!Copy !req
198. - Ah, Miss Ritsuki.
- Huh?Copy !req
199. These young ladies are going
to be your new clubmates soon.Copy !req
200. Meet Seira Shishido and Miihi Kurosawa.Copy !req
201. Hey! Why's your face look
so familiar to me?Copy !req
202. 'Cause you hit her face with your face.Copy !req
203. They've decided to commit
to figure skating over speed skating.Copy !req
204. So they'll be transferring
from Hiroshima next month.Copy !req
205. Wanna be friends with me?Copy !req
206. I need your name and favorite color.
And favorite dinosaur if you got one!Copy !req
207. Nice to meet you.Copy !req
208. No!Copy !req
209. The Women's Novice B
Free Skating CompetitionCopy !req
210. will begin shortly.Copy !req
211. Suzu, don't get carried away out there.Copy !req
212. Remember that this is our last practice
match before nationals.Copy !req
213. Focus on the details.Copy !req
214. Don't you worry none!Copy !req
215. I told you this would be the year that
I finally surpass Hikaru as Novice Queen,Copy !req
216. didn't I?Copy !req
217. Why would I let my guard down now?Copy !req
218. I've got this, Coach.Copy !req
219. Athletes in group one,
your practice period starts now.Copy !req
220. You have six minutes on the ice.Copy !req
221. There we go!Copy !req
222. Thank you very much for that.Copy !req
223. - Inori.
- Huh?Copy !req
224. Starting tomorrow,
I want you to take a break.Copy !req
225. No practice till the fall.Copy !req
226. What? Take a break?Copy !req
227. But summer vacation is the only time
I get to practice all day.Copy !req
228. Why are we stopping now?Copy !req
229. Do you remember what the nurse said
this afternoon?Copy !req
230. That you could have shin splints?Copy !req
231. Oh, yeah. What about them?Copy !req
232. Shin splints are a result
of overusing the muscle.Copy !req
233. Everything in there is strained
and swollen right now.Copy !req
234. If we ignore that,
it could lead to a stress fracture.Copy !req
235. A fracture...Copy !req
236. The pain you've been feeling
in your other leg?Copy !req
237. That could be an early symptom
of an issue.Copy !req
238. And if you wind up with a stress fracture,Copy !req
239. you'll be out of practice for months.Copy !req
240. We cannot let that happen.Copy !req
241. So, a break is good...Copy !req
242. - Inori.
- Yeah?Copy !req
243. Forgive me.
I learned an important lesson todayCopy !req
244. about what I'm lacking as a coach.Copy !req
245. In the future, I'll be focusing more about
how to prevent accidents and injuries.Copy !req
246. Yeah, I think this competition taught me
a lot as well.Copy !req
247. I'm not the only one who dreams
of being a great figure skater.Copy !req
248. Not at all.Copy !req
249. There are lots of kids who love skating.Copy !req
250. And they're working hard, too.Copy !req
251. I'm pushing myself to the limitCopy !req
252. - to keep up with everyone.
- Okay! Huddle up tight!Copy !req
253. And so are they.Copy !req
254. - Now say cheese!
- And there are someCopy !req
255. who couldn't practice how they wanted,
but kept it up anyway.Copy !req
256. I'm never gonna surpass the skatersCopy !req
257. who have built up all their skills
from an early age.Copy !req
258. I started later than normal, and
it's not like I can get that time back.Copy !req
259. There's just gonna be a gap there,
and that's okay.Copy !req
260. But...Copy !req
261. I'll work through it.
And I'll never use it as a reason to quit.Copy !req
262. Some things are just out of my control,Copy !req
263. so I won't panic
or get upset over them anymore.Copy !req
264. I'll keep believing that, late or not,Copy !req
265. I can win my next fight exactly as I am.Copy !req
266. You sure
you wanna do this?Copy !req
267. Yes. I want to believe and I want to try.Copy !req
268. Good.Copy !req
269. 'Cause I believe in you, too.Copy !req
270. Your sister said
she can come pick us up at the station.Copy !req
271. Oh, that's good.Copy !req
272. In that case,Copy !req
273. we gotta get ready to show off your medal.Copy !req
274. Really? Right now?Copy !req
275. The bullet train
award ceremony will now begin!Copy !req
276. Inori Yuitsuka, LHFSC.Copy !req
277. Present.Copy !req
278. I present you with this silver medal!Copy !req
279. The first medal of many.Copy !req
280. Yeah.Copy !req
281. You should be very proud of that silver.Copy !req
282. But we'll take the gold next time.Copy !req
283. What do you say?Copy !req
284. Yes!Copy !req
285. What? Are you for real?Copy !req
286. You came all the way to Kyoto
to apologize?Copy !req
287. Yes. I also want to express my gratitude...Copy !req
288. - What is that guy's deal?
- ... and report to you.Copy !req
289. Did you say "report to me"?Copy !req
290. Just take them!Copy !req
291. So, I talked to Inori. And we decided
to abstain from winter meets.Copy !req
292. We're just going to focus on progressing
through the Badge Tests for now.Copy !req
293. I see. That's your report?Copy !req
294. It is.Copy !req
295. Oh and by the way,
thank you for sharing Ema's story with me.Copy !req
296. It's filled me with determination.Copy !req
297. And that's the gratitude.Copy !req
298. Well, then,
this box of snacks ain't gonna cut it.Copy !req
299. Tell ya what will, though,Copy !req
300. if you and Inori's progress a year
from now blows my doors off.Copy !req
301. Think y'all can do that for me?Copy !req
302. Yes, sir.Copy !req
303. That's the plan. We'll spend this year
finding our new normal.Copy !req
304. And the next time I see you,
it'll be at the All-Japans.Copy !req
305. Good!Copy !req
306. A triple Axel!
Beautifully done.Copy !req
307. This is the second victory
for Hikaru Kamisaki.Copy !req
308. Hikaru...Copy !req
309. Piece of shit.Copy !req
