1. 22!
Copy !req
2. 88!
Copy !req
3. 00!
Copy !req
4. 100!
Copy !req
5. When you learn how to see it, the
ball will look like it's moving slowly.
Copy !req
6. International arenas have mats!
Copy !req
7. It's completely different.
Copy !req
8. Leap out into the world.
Copy !req
9. The world's first shoes made especially for mats!
Copy !req
10. So cool!
Copy !req
11. Uh, I mean, not cool.
Copy !req
12. 888!
Copy !req
13. 696!
Copy !req
14. What?
Copy !req
15. 324!
Copy !req
16. Yes! I got it!
Copy !req
17. You looked before he started, didn't you, moron?
Copy !req
18. Not good enough. Do it again.
Copy !req
19. Can I... ask one thing?
Copy !req
20. Nope.
Copy !req
21. When are you gonna let me hit a ball?
Copy !req
22. You'll be doing this until you break the one-minute mark.
Copy !req
23. I want my game instincts back ASAP!
Copy !req
24. Quiet! Shut up, don't talk, and
do what I say or I'll smack you!
Copy !req
25. Now go on! Hurry up!
Copy !req
26. Pretend I'm your honey!
Copy !req
27. Get up here and give me a squeeze!
Copy !req
28. Don't puke. Think about where you are, idiot.
Copy !req
29. Damn it...
Copy !req
30. I'm not puking because I want to, old lady!
Copy !req
31. That's it, Peco! That's the spirit!
Copy !req
32. I love you!
Copy !req
33. Could we not go there?
Copy !req
34. It kills my motivation.
Copy !req
35. Why?
Copy !req
36. It'll be sunset soon.
Copy !req
37. Ready, go!
Copy !req
38. Damn it!
Copy !req
39. Come on, you're almost here.
Copy !req
40. Just one more step, darling!
Copy !req
41. Show me drive!
Copy !req
42. Nice guts. Love ya, baby!
Copy !req
43. Okay, one more time.
Copy !req
44. You're kidding.
Copy !req
45. Think you can hit my Ultra Super Knuckle Sinker?
Copy !req
46. Piece of cake!
Copy !req
47. Back home, back home! Hurry up!
Copy !req
48. Um, wait, I can explain...
Copy !req
49. Got a problem, jerk?
Copy !req
50. Give us back our ball.
Copy !req
51. Hey, we're gonna start our cool-down. Form a circle.
Copy !req
52. Hey, Oota.
Copy !req
53. You know, Tsukimoto, some fish actually choose to live in the backwater.
Copy !req
54. It is their nature, and it won't ever change!
Copy !req
55. I'm Kazama, advisor to Kaiou Academy's table tennis club.
Copy !req
56. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
57. A new age has dawned, and still I can't make a decision
Copy !req
58. My path is too straight for my taste, but I'll walk it
Copy !req
59. I can't choose just yet
Copy !req
60. I have to think about it
Copy !req
61. I have no idea what I want to do
Copy !req
62. I'm going crazy!
Copy !req
63. Comparing yourself to others just makes you depressed
Copy !req
64. You're alone in this world
Copy !req
65. You're always alone here
Copy !req
66. Still you're gonna do it, right?
Copy !req
67. Maybe there's nothing that only I can do
Copy !req
68. But there's no way that I
Copy !req
69. But there's no way that I
Copy !req
70. But there's no way that I won't try to leave my mark
Copy !req
71. I just want to have my fun, whatever the times
Copy !req
72. Okay!
Copy !req
73. How 'bout that?
Copy !req
74. Nailed it, didn't I?
Copy !req
75. Let's go back to the training hall.
Copy !req
76. I love you, old lady.
Copy !req
77. We make the best couple ever!
Copy !req
78. Maybe we do...
Copy !req
79. All you need to bring is yourself.
Copy !req
80. Come to Kaiou, Tsukimoto.
Copy !req
81. Your talent will wither and die if you stay in this dump.
Copy !req
82. Hey.
Copy !req
83. Does Coach Koizumi know about this?
Copy !req
84. Of course.
Copy !req
85. He agreed to the idea.
Copy !req
86. He said that, with your future in mind, it was "a very clever idea."
Copy !req
87. My future?
Copy !req
88. I must say, I was surprised to
learn Koizumi was coaching here.
Copy !req
89. Who is he?
Copy !req
90. Butterfly Joe.
Copy !req
91. My hero.
Copy !req
92. Um, I...
Copy !req
93. What is it, Tsukimoto?
Copy !req
94. Well, I...
Copy !req
95. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
96. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
97. What he's after isn't money or success.
Copy !req
98. Those aren't the only reasons to play table tennis.
Copy !req
99. The old man, Koizumi, Nori...
Copy !req
100. Table tennis comes in many forms.
Copy !req
101. He was wrong. And he had no talent.
Copy !req
102. That's not it.
Copy !req
103. Are you playing table tennis you believe in?
Copy !req
104. I'm worried about you.
Copy !req
105. He wasn't popular. That's why there are so few wreaths!
Copy !req
106. Ryuuichi, order five more.
Copy !req
107. And Emiko, sick now, of all times?
Copy !req
108. Your husband was doing weird business. That's why you get weird diseases!
Copy !req
109. I'm fine.
Copy !req
110. Families have their own rules, so please, just bear it.
Copy !req
111. Who would your hero be?
Copy !req
112. There are no heroes.
Copy !req
113. I apologize if I offended you, Mr. Tsukimoto.
Copy !req
114. But this old-timer can't quite give you the coaching you deserve.
Copy !req
115. I thought you'd grow more if you went there.
Copy !req
116. Hey, Coach.
Copy !req
117. I got Sakuma kicked out.
Copy !req
118. What will happen if I go to Kaiou?
Copy !req
119. I didn't think you cared about—
Copy !req
120. Even I have feelings.
Copy !req
121. I get depressed or excited like anyone else.
Copy !req
122. Okay.
Copy !req
123. Here I go.
Copy !req
124. Hey, wait!
Copy !req
125. You'll wear yourself out running that fast!
Copy !req
126. Hey, boy!
Copy !req
127. Slow down, slow down!
Copy !req
128. Wow, Chump, this is a pretty
big training hall you teach at!
Copy !req
129. Peco, this isn't a training hall!
Copy !req
130. Athletes don't get to come here unless Japan recognizes their potential!
Copy !req
131. Which means Peco's been recognized.
Copy !req
132. Mom, stop. There are rules!
Copy !req
133. Wow! Ping Pong Girl!
Copy !req
134. And don't call me "Chump"!
Copy !req
135. Take him inside already.
Copy !req
136. Okay, so!
Copy !req
137. This is Hoshino, and he'll be
training with us starting today!
Copy !req
138. Give him a warm welcome!
Copy !req
139. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
140. I'm Hoshino Yutaka, also known as "Peco."
Copy !req
141. Offensive, close to table style.
A 16-year-old Capricorn with type-O blood.
Copy !req
142. Pleased to meet you!
Copy !req
143. Last three minutes!
Copy !req
144. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
145. Idiot! Too slow, Peco!
Copy !req
146. Come on, come on, come on!
Copy !req
147. S-So fast!
Copy !req
148. Keep your eye on the ball!
Copy !req
149. Don't hit with your gut! Look!
Copy !req
150. All right!
Copy !req
151. Kokubu, switch with me.
Copy !req
152. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
153. Damn, this is tough.
Copy !req
154. Has our robot finally gone haywire?
Copy !req
155. Might be hard to fix machinery that complex.
Copy !req
156. Smile ran away, eh?
Copy !req
157. Yeah.
Copy !req
158. I tried calling his house, but no one answered.
Copy !req
159. His parents split up when he was young.
Copy !req
160. His mother doesn't come home until morning.
Copy !req
161. I thought I was being considerate.
Copy !req
162. That's why he runs from you.
Copy !req
163. What?
Copy !req
164. You're always like that.
Copy !req
165. Acting timid, worried about how they feel.
Copy !req
166. That kind of attitude bothers people more than anything.
Copy !req
167. If you really like him, then grab him, squeeze him, and give him a kiss.
Copy !req
168. If you won't give him any loving, get out of his life.
Copy !req
169. This is stupid.
Copy !req
170. Peco, wake up.
Copy !req
171. Chump's gonna be mad.
Copy !req
172. You're not supposed to call him "Chump."
Copy !req
173. We gotta wake Peco.
Copy !req
174. Peco.
Copy !req
175. What now?
Copy !req
176. Yes, I believe this win was made
possible by the support of my fans!
Copy !req
177. My dream? Well, Olympic gold, of course!
Copy !req
178. And to appear in an Akagi Dairy commercial!
Copy !req
179. Welcome back, my boy.
Copy !req
180. Where did you go?
Copy !req
181. I couldn't get anywhere.
Copy !req
182. That so?
Copy !req
183. Were you waiting for me this whole time?
Copy !req
184. I told you before: a coach's job only
has meaning when he has an athlete.
Copy !req
185. Try that again, and I'll whack you.
Copy !req
186. Keep that in mind.
Copy !req
187. Do you understand, Mr. Tsukimoto?
Copy !req
188. Yes. Yes, my coach.
Copy !req
189. Good! Very good!
Copy !req
190. Yes My Coach
Copy !req
191. Good morning, Mr. Tsukimoto.
Copy !req
192. Good morning, Coach.
Copy !req
193. Nice weather today.
Copy !req
194. Yes.
Copy !req
195. It must be a pain to devote your Valentine's Day to table tennis.
Copy !req
196. Not really.
Copy !req
197. It doesn't bother you at all?
Copy !req
198. No.
Copy !req
199. Mr. Tsukimoto, what do you say to
Copy !req
200. a date with me?
Copy !req
201. Hey, Hikaru. We're shutting down the store, so go ahead and take some stuff.
Copy !req
202. I couldn't!
Copy !req
203. You play table tennis, right?
Copy !req
204. Hey, these are three stars!
Copy !req
205. Oh wow!
Copy !req
206. Take those, then.
Copy !req
207. Oh, no, I'll pay for them!
Copy !req
208. Nah, all the balls are changing to plastic anyway, right?
Copy !req
209. I heard you haven't got practice time for yourself,
Copy !req
210. so I bought a brand new table tennis robot.
Copy !req
211. I've inputted as much data as
I could on Kazama from Kaiou.
Copy !req
212. Please, use it as a practice partner.
Copy !req
213. Thank you.
Copy !req
214. Here, a birthday present.
Copy !req
215. Thanks.
Copy !req
216. A thank-you gift!
Copy !req
217. You seem busy.
Copy !req
218. What do you want to drink?
Copy !req
219. Bitter coffee.
Copy !req
220. Why'd I have to be born on Valentine's Day?
Copy !req
221. Sorry.
Copy !req
222. I end up just giving other people stuff—
nobody remembers my birthday!
Copy !req
223. It's also the day Nori died.
Copy !req
224. Here, nice and bitter.
Copy !req
225. Was Uncle Nori not popular?
Copy !req
226. He was a great table tennis instructor.
Copy !req
227. Kids who learned from him are still playing as adults.
Copy !req
228. Ryuuichi's style is a lot like Nori's too.
Copy !req
229. Why's the old man so strict, though?
Copy !req
230. He's always been just as hard on himself.
Copy !req
231. Ryuu never even calls Auntie Emiko.
Copy !req
232. He promised the old man he'd only
contact her on memorial service days.
Copy !req
233. Does he have to obey the old man that much?
Copy !req
234. Don't cry, Taku.
Copy !req
235. A man shouldn't let people see him cry!
Copy !req
236. Never show weakness!
Copy !req
237. They'll take advantage of you!
Copy !req
238. After the old man took responsibility for Nori's business mistakes,
Copy !req
239. our relatives made Nori's branch of the family feel like an embarrassment.
Copy !req
240. Past what was fair, frankly.
Copy !req
241. But the old man's tune changed when he discovered that Ryuuichi had a talent for table tennis.
Copy !req
242. The more Ryuuichi kept winning, the less people could disrespect Nori's family.
Copy !req
243. He's trying to carry his family, our school, and even Poseidon on his shoulders.
Copy !req
244. Well, I don't like it.
Copy !req
245. I want to arrange flowers for a living.
Copy !req
246. I'm gonna study in London.
Copy !req
247. We don't have that kind of money!
Copy !req
248. I'd have to ask the old man.
Copy !req
249. I don't want his money.
Copy !req
250. I'll take care of it myself.
Copy !req
251. He's strict and scary, but he's a man of character.
Copy !req
252. He knows a lot about etiquette and tradition, and he's a shrewd businessman.
Copy !req
253. It never even occurred to me to sell mats and shoes that way.
Copy !req
254. So what?
Copy !req
255. One! Two! Three!
Copy !req
256. Kazama, you know what day it is today?
Copy !req
257. Since you told Yurie not to come to games,
Copy !req
258. she comes in disguise. Did you know that?
Copy !req
259. One! Two! Three! Four!
Copy !req
260. She's here!
Copy !req
261. She must be here to give you chocolate.
Copy !req
262. One! Two! Three! Four!
Copy !req
263. Go see her! What are you doin'?
Copy !req
264. She left, Kazama!
Copy !req
265. What are you doing?
Copy !req
266. Wait up!
Copy !req
267. I...
Copy !req
268. I'm Kazama's teammate,
Copy !req
269. Kaiou Academy Table Tennis Club, second year, Sanada Masayuki!
Copy !req
270. I've always watched you from afar!
Copy !req
271. Yurie, happy birthday!
Copy !req
272. These are Casablancas! Thank you, I love them!
Copy !req
273. I'm fully aware that you like Kazama.
Copy !req
274. I simply want you to know that I exist.
Copy !req
275. You are beautiful!
Copy !req
276. Ma'am!
Copy !req
277. You can have this.
Copy !req
278. Thank you!
Copy !req
279. See you later.
Copy !req
280. This is mine now, Kazama.
Copy !req
281. Whatcha gonna do about it?
Copy !req
282. Whatcha gonna do about it, you table tennis junkie?
Copy !req
283. I'm takin' Yurie.
Copy !req
284. I'll defeat you, and make her mine.
Copy !req
285. You got that?
Copy !req
286. What's wrong, Mr. Tsukimoto? Isn't this fun?
Copy !req
287. If you're having fun, you should smile!
Copy !req
288. If I have fun, I will.
Copy !req
289. Ain't that the truth?
Copy !req
290. Are you really having that much fun?
Copy !req
291. Will this do, Mr. Tsukimoto?
Copy !req
292. Yes, thank you.
Copy !req
293. Coach...
Copy !req
294. What is it?
Copy !req
295. Can I ask Butterfly Joe for his story?
Copy !req
296. That's what they used to call me.
Copy !req
297. They said I played so gracefully, I looked like a butterfly.
Copy !req
298. Nobody could match me, because I
could hit both forehand and backhand.
Copy !req
299. I was "invincible," as they say.
Copy !req
300. I was so young...
Copy !req
301. They called me the rising star of
Japanese table tennis, you know?
Copy !req
302. Everyone took for granted that I'd represent Japan at the world championships.
Copy !req
303. But I lost in the qualifiers.
Copy !req
304. My opponent was someone I'd played all my life.
Copy !req
305. He was quite good, but...
Copy !req
306. "You've injured a knee ligament. It'll take six months to fully recover," the doc said.
Copy !req
307. You didn't withdraw?
Copy !req
308. I would have.
Copy !req
309. But I wasn't the one who wrecked my knee.
Copy !req
310. He turned a deaf ear to those around him and played.
Copy !req
311. You could easily take down someone like that by hitting deep to the forehand,
Copy !req
312. then switching to his backhand side.
Copy !req
313. Could you have done it?
Copy !req
314. Driven a stake into an old friend's injury?
Copy !req
315. Used a strategy that might end his career?
Copy !req
316. Could you have done it?
Copy !req
317. In the end, I focused my attacks on his forehand and self-destructed.
Copy !req
318. I never returned to the limelight after that.
Copy !req
319. Meanwhile, he became a hero for playing injured.
Copy !req
320. He shot up the ladder to worldwide fame.
Copy !req
321. Now he's president of Kaiou Academy
and representative director of Poseidon.
Copy !req
322. His name? Kazama Ryuu.
Copy !req
323. But I want to say one thing right now:
Copy !req
324. I'm not using you as a tool for revenge.
Copy !req
325. I just want to show you a place only the talented can go.
Copy !req
326. I know.
Copy !req
327. I know that.
Copy !req
328. Oh, my!
Copy !req
329. My, my!
Copy !req
330. Is that my honey hitting those drives?
Copy !req
331. And he's playing reverse penhold backhand?
Copy !req
332. Yeah!
Copy !req
333. He used to drive with inverted rubber as a kid, right?
Copy !req
334. He played on adult tables despite being a kid.
Copy !req
335. When I remembered that and had him try it, he got it right away!
Copy !req
336. When he's up against real strong players, he gets pushed away from the table,
Copy !req
337. so I think he'll be better off if he can do drives!
Copy !req
338. And the RPB was a last resort since his backhand wasn't improving, but it clicked for him!
Copy !req
339. I get how talented he is now, Mom!
Copy !req
340. Normal players can't pull off a sudden switch in style.
Copy !req
341. But he can!
Copy !req
342. He has a kid's ability to absorb things like a sponge, and masters them in no time!
Copy !req
343. That's a major construction project.
Copy !req
344. Sure it won't change the whole skyline?
Copy !req
345. I know.
Copy !req
346. His best asset is his speed!
Copy !req
347. He should play close to the table.
Copy !req
348. There must be a style that's a better fit.
Copy !req
349. I'm thinking on it.
Copy !req
350. Those are Peco's brothers playing over there.
Copy !req
351. They all have the same face. It'll give you a shock!
Copy !req
352. His mother came to pay her respects, and even she has the same face!
Copy !req
353. Peco's living here for now, so they all
take turns bringing him food and clothes.
Copy !req
354. That one practicing better be the real Peco.
Copy !req
355. What?
Copy !req
356. One, two, three, four!
Copy !req
357. Five, six, seven, eight!
Copy !req
358. It's heavy.
Copy !req
359. Yep, it's got two rubbers!
Copy !req
360. One, two, three, four!
Copy !req
361. Swap the blade for a carbon one under 70 grams.
Copy !req
362. Got it.
Copy !req
363. Five, six, seven, eight!
Copy !req
364. Also, that knee bandage worries me.
Copy !req
365. One, two, three, four!
Copy !req
366. He's been taping it because it "feels off," but he says it's nothing serious, so no need to worry!
Copy !req
367. Five, six, seven, eight!
Copy !req
368. You be careful.
Copy !req
369. He's still an inexperienced high school student.
Copy !req
370. Got it.
Copy !req
371. I'm leaving.
Copy !req
372. Thank you, Mom!
Copy !req
373. Later, Peco.
Copy !req
374. Listen to the coach and apply yourself.
Copy !req
375. Jeez, you're leaving already?
Copy !req
376. Don't worry. I still love ya.
Copy !req
377. Oh yeah? You better mean that!
Copy !req
378. Yeah.
Copy !req
379. These balls aren't bad, Oota.
Copy !req
380. Yeah? Glad to hear it!
Copy !req
381. I thought you'd forgotten all about them.
Copy !req
382. Coach is usually in charge of equipment, so I don't...
Copy !req
383. I want to give them a light workout, so play with me.
Copy !req
384. What?
Copy !req
385. Ask the old man for that!
Copy !req
386. I'm not even dressed for it...
Copy !req
387. Just a light one.
Copy !req
388. They really are completely different.
Copy !req
389. Yeah?
Copy !req
390. A lot better.
Copy !req
391. I guess so.
Copy !req
392. I'm putting on a little spin.
Copy !req
393. Sure.
Copy !req
394. They're great. Completely different.
Copy !req
395. See?
Copy !req
396. A red sun stares at me
Copy !req
397. The world goes blurry when I yawn
Copy !req
398. My wishes fluctuate like a metronome
Copy !req
399. Everything tells me this is the end
Copy !req
400. I do have some dreams, you know
Copy !req
401. I do have some dreams, you know
Copy !req
