00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:05.100
The Interhigh singles preliminaries are approaching!

00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:09.230
I want you to go in there ready to take all four slots again this year!

00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:10.730
Yes, sir!

00:00:11.350 --> 00:00:14.166
But our block is packed
with tough guys like

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:15.670
Kong of Tsujidou and
Tsukimoto of Katase,

00:00:15.770 --> 00:00:19.130
who are even better than the guys we'll face at the Interhigh!

00:00:19.130 --> 00:00:21.040
Don't let your guard down! Got it?!

00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:22.410
Yes, sir!

00:00:23.540 --> 00:00:27.040
Wow, they're already serving cold noodles!

00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:30.890
I never get tired of eating here. So many seasonal options!

00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:33.330
That's nice, Peco,

00:00:33.330 --> 00:00:37.160
but how will you pass high school if you're always here?

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:38.890
It's no problem.

00:00:38.890 --> 00:00:42.190
I've calculated how often I can skip and still graduate.

00:00:42.190 --> 00:00:43.850
You go to Katase, right?

00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:45.450
Yeah.

00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:47.560
There's a chopper there named Tsukimoto.

00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:49.310
Yeah.

00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:50.920
Is he good?

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.200
They say he's on a fifty-game winning streak.

00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:55.290
Is it true, Peco?

00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:57.240
Yeah, it is.

00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:03.500
Well, my kid brother's on a high school team, and he played Tsukimoto once.

00:01:03.770 --> 00:01:05.680
Said he's out of this world.

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:07.910
Like, superhuman!

00:01:07.910 --> 00:01:11.370
Apparently he's so tough he made my brother wonder if he should quit.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:14.770
He said it was like playing a robot.

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:17.810
What? This is the old lady?

00:01:17.810 --> 00:01:19.400
She was a real cutie.

00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:21.570
Hey, no giving Peco beer!

00:01:21.570 --> 00:01:24.130
I know we've got juice and stuff!

00:01:24.130 --> 00:01:27.940
Didn't you take a pic of Mom's bronze statue when you first got here?

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:29.650
Ping Pong Girl!

00:01:29.990 --> 00:01:31.230
Yikes.

00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:32.890
This is Mr. Koizumi.

00:01:33.860 --> 00:01:37.120
And this is the chairman of Kaiou, Kazama's granddad.

00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.460
Wow, so it is!

00:01:38.460 --> 00:01:40.380
There, there.

00:01:40.380 --> 00:01:41.490
Up you go!

00:01:41.490 --> 00:01:43.950
It's a small world?

00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:46.300
They were all childhood friends.

00:01:46.300 --> 00:01:48.580
Now eat something and go to sleep!

00:01:48.580 --> 00:01:52.570
And Mom's worried about your knee.

00:01:52.570 --> 00:01:56.759
A knee injury's what made her quit table tennis, after all.

00:01:57.430 --> 00:01:58.970
You sure you're okay?

00:01:59.780 --> 00:02:01.120
Yup.

00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:02.430
Don't sleep here.

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.020
You're always in the bath.

00:02:07.530 --> 00:02:11.850
I hear Poseidon's providing mats for the Interhigh preliminaries.

00:02:11.850 --> 00:02:14.130
They're doing it to promote sales.

00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:19.530
And all the Kaiou players will be wearing special mat shoes called "Dragon."

00:02:19.850 --> 00:02:22.530
You should play table tennis for yourself, Ryuu.

00:02:23.170 --> 00:02:25.270
I'm getting out of here!

00:02:25.270 --> 00:02:26.950
Don't make that scary face.

00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:39.920
I didn't know Hoshino still played table tennis.

00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:44.190
And since you didn't do your job with him, I had to work my * off.

00:02:44.190 --> 00:02:45.780
You can't smoke in here.

00:02:46.579 --> 00:02:50.930
All right. I'll register him too, then.

00:02:50.930 --> 00:02:54.090
He's strangely popular with the team.

00:02:54.090 --> 00:02:57.320
They probably won't mind—they'll welcome him, even.

00:02:58.790 --> 00:03:01.270
Question for you, Ms. Tamura.

00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:05.188
What are the odds of this
bowl-headed Hoshino of

00:03:05.212 --> 00:03:09.130
yours beating Tsukimoto
at the next Interhigh?

00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:12.830
You're the one who wrote him off.

00:03:12.830 --> 00:03:15.460
That's not an answer.

00:03:15.460 --> 00:03:18.340
I'm not good at predicting odds.

00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.430
You can't compare that kid to other people,

00:03:21.430 --> 00:03:23.590
so it's hard to tell.

00:03:23.930 --> 00:03:26.628
But if we're talking
about talent alone,

00:03:26.652 --> 00:03:29.350
he's far better than
Kaiou's Kazama Ryuuichi.

00:03:29.350 --> 00:03:31.020
I can say that much for sure.

00:03:31.510 --> 00:03:33.380
No way.

00:03:57.570 --> 00:03:59.250
I will become stronger!

00:03:59.890 --> 00:04:00.990
Better than my father!

00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:02.190
Better than my grandfather!

00:04:34.580 --> 00:04:40.210
A new age has dawned, and still I can't make a decision

00:04:40.210 --> 00:04:45.730
My path is too straight for my taste, but I'll walk it

00:04:45.730 --> 00:04:47.540
I can't choose just yet

00:04:47.570 --> 00:04:48.590
I have to think about it

00:04:48.590 --> 00:04:50.310
I have no idea what I want to do

00:04:50.350 --> 00:04:51.550
I'm going crazy!

00:04:51.610 --> 00:04:57.010
Comparing yourself to others just makes you depressed

00:04:57.010 --> 00:05:00.070
I'm alone in this world

00:05:00.070 --> 00:05:04.110
I'm always alone here

00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:07.150
Still I'm gonna do it

00:05:08.150 --> 00:05:14.050
Maybe there's nothing that only I can do

00:05:14.050 --> 00:05:16.910
But there's no way that I

00:05:16.910 --> 00:05:19.660
But there's no way that I

00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:23.690
But there's no way that I won't try to leave my mark

00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.890
I just want to have my fun, whatever the times

00:05:45.260 --> 00:05:47.960
Hey, isn't that Tsukimoto Makoto?

00:05:47.960 --> 00:05:50.690
He's right. It's Tsukimoto of Katase High.

00:05:50.690 --> 00:05:52.110
What is he doing?

00:05:52.810 --> 00:05:54.220
Waiting for someone, maybe?

00:05:55.570 --> 00:05:58.480
That was Tsukimoto, from Katase High.

00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.990
Really? That's him?

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:04.760
Hey, Tsukimoto!

00:06:04.760 --> 00:06:06.860
Get in here!

00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:09.680
The vibe's kinda different from before!

00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:14.540
Here they are. So hardcore!

00:06:14.540 --> 00:06:16.060
Look at those heads.

00:06:21.330 --> 00:06:26.400
You think they'll take the top four spots again this year?

00:06:26.790 --> 00:06:28.940
I don't know about this year.

00:06:28.940 --> 00:06:32.390
For one thing, there's Tsukimoto from Katase High, right?

00:06:32.390 --> 00:06:37.909
Rumor has it that Dragon inputted Tsukimoto's data into his practice robots.

00:06:52.659 --> 00:06:53.760
Mats!

00:06:54.050 --> 00:06:56.260
They've got mats on the floor!

00:06:56.770 --> 00:07:00.400
I dunno, I guess maybe it is kinda slippery?

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:01.770
Are you serious?

00:07:02.290 --> 00:07:04.220
I slipped.

00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:07.940
Seriously? You're always falling down, moron!

00:07:07.940 --> 00:07:12.350
Kazama said the special mat shoes felt "completely different," remember?

00:07:12.350 --> 00:07:14.850
That was a TV commercial, moron.

00:07:15.650 --> 00:07:17.200
They were on sale outside, right?

00:07:17.200 --> 00:07:18.580
Size 27.5, please!

00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:20.500
Here you are!

00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:21.650
Size 26.5.

00:07:21.650 --> 00:07:22.970
There you go!

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.040
International arenas have mats!

00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:33.050
It's completely different.

00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.480
Leap out into the world!

00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.920
The world's first shoes made especially for mats!

00:07:41.960 --> 00:07:43.380
Gimme, gimme!

00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:44.580
Have any 28s?

00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:45.560
Size 26.5!

00:07:49.590 --> 00:07:52.000
I checked out the tournament brackets!

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:53.340
Thanks.

00:07:53.340 --> 00:07:55.680
I doubt the mats make a difference!

00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.950
No pro athletes change their shoes based on mats vs. bare floor!

00:07:58.950 --> 00:08:01.370
They're just trying to whip up sales!

00:08:01.370 --> 00:08:03.330
So how did it look?

00:08:03.330 --> 00:08:04.360
Where's Smile?

00:08:05.080 --> 00:08:07.540
In the stadium with Koizumi.

00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:10.500
Jeez! I wanted to say hi!

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:11.420
Hey!

00:08:12.630 --> 00:08:14.500
The bracket.

00:08:14.500 --> 00:08:18.740
Well, the first round is a first-year I know who'll be easy to beat, but...

00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:20.330
Just spit it out.

00:08:20.330 --> 00:08:21.790
Hey, Peco!

00:08:21.790 --> 00:08:24.110
I saw your second round opponent!

00:08:24.110 --> 00:08:25.190
Who is it?

00:08:25.510 --> 00:08:27.190
It's Kong Wenge!

00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:33.990
What's wrong, Wenge?

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:36.860
Homesick?

00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.200
Something like that.

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:46.960
Really? I've got China in the very second round?

00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:51.460
But if you make it past that, it's a cakewalk until the semifinal against Kazama!

00:08:51.770 --> 00:08:53.020
What about Smile?

00:08:53.020 --> 00:08:55.470
If you play Smile, it'll be in the final.

00:08:55.810 --> 00:08:59.010
There's no one in his way except maybe Sanada in the third round.

00:08:59.010 --> 00:09:01.200
The others don't stand a chance.

00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:02.470
Is Sanada good?

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:04.940
He's Kaiou's vice-captain.

00:09:06.330 --> 00:09:07.800
Thanks, Michio.

00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:09.110
I'm off.

00:09:09.110 --> 00:09:11.900
What's up? There's plenty of time before your match!

00:09:11.900 --> 00:09:12.920
I'm gonna go.

00:09:12.920 --> 00:09:13.860
Really?

00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:16.260
Okay! Show 'em who's boss, then!

00:09:16.260 --> 00:09:19.020
Make a big name for yourself, Peco!

00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:25.250
I figured that'd get him down, but he's taking it in stride, Mom?

00:09:25.250 --> 00:09:28.870
When you're aiming for the top, you're bound to face monsters eventually.

00:09:28.870 --> 00:09:31.250
I guess he'd steeled himself for this.

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:34.510
Man, this blows.

00:09:34.510 --> 00:09:35.990
Seriously?

00:09:35.990 --> 00:09:37.420
Just kill me now...

00:09:39.590 --> 00:09:41.940
You might not believe this,

00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:45.350
but my team is getting pretty good.

00:09:45.350 --> 00:09:50.360
It was like teaching babies to read and write.

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:52.470
Today's singles matches may be rough,

00:09:52.470 --> 00:09:55.550
but they'll go far in the team events.

00:09:55.550 --> 00:09:58.660
I look forward to it.

00:09:58.660 --> 00:10:00.180
It's true.

00:10:00.180 --> 00:10:02.280
I trust you, Wenge.

00:10:02.280 --> 00:10:06.870
Is the strongest one still that Kazama Ryuuichi?

00:10:06.870 --> 00:10:07.790
Yeah.

00:10:08.790 --> 00:10:12.190
But this year, there's a player who's a threat to him.

00:10:12.190 --> 00:10:14.050
Do you remember him, Coach?

00:10:14.050 --> 00:10:15.990
Tsukimoto Makoto.

00:10:15.990 --> 00:10:18.560
The kid with the glasses...

00:10:19.050 --> 00:10:21.770
It's sure to be a good fight.

00:10:21.770 --> 00:10:24.480
I won't play them until the semifinals.

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.420
First, I'll make it into the top four and head to nationals.

00:10:28.420 --> 00:10:30.560
I look forward to it.

00:10:31.450 --> 00:10:37.070
Just once, I'd like to beat Kazama and earn my ticket home.

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.320
Sounds good. I'm sure you can do it.

00:10:43.730 --> 00:10:45.950
Not gonna wear the mat shoes?

00:10:46.370 --> 00:10:49.830
No. Shoes make no difference to me.

00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.540
Sure looks dumb if we all wear them and Kazama doesn't.

00:10:58.130 --> 00:11:02.170
I've worn Butterfly shoes since I was in China.

00:11:02.170 --> 00:11:04.830
I wear the same ones on mats and bare floors.

00:11:04.830 --> 00:11:06.110
Wait, really?

00:11:06.110 --> 00:11:07.310
We bought them!

00:11:08.050 --> 00:11:10.720
But wearing good shoes is good.

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.580
Everyone should wear good shoes.

00:11:26.790 --> 00:11:30.520
Hey, Kong and Dragon aren't wearing mat shoes.

00:11:30.520 --> 00:11:31.870
Kazama isn't?

00:11:32.170 --> 00:11:34.380
The mats don't bother you?

00:11:34.680 --> 00:11:36.380
No, they don't.

00:11:36.810 --> 00:11:40.700
Anyway, don't you have any strategic advice, Coach?

00:11:40.700 --> 00:11:42.630
None at all.

00:11:42.630 --> 00:11:48.010
You're already the greatest player in my eyes, Mr. Tsukimoto.

00:11:48.650 --> 00:11:51.750
I know you will win.

00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:56.400
Destroy him, Kong!

00:11:56.400 --> 00:11:57.900
Get Kaiou!

00:11:57.900 --> 00:11:59.430
Go, Kaiou!

00:11:59.430 --> 00:12:01.000
Blow Kong away!

00:12:18.250 --> 00:12:20.250
It's time to dance.

00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:25.220
Yes!

00:12:27.800 --> 00:12:28.710
Yes!

00:12:29.470 --> 00:12:32.180
Damn. They 're just drives!

00:12:50.660 --> 00:12:52.450
I got no hope.

00:12:52.450 --> 00:12:54.340
I 'm just no match for him.

00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:56.060
This is what world-level play is like?

00:12:57.090 --> 00:12:59.600
I finally made first string at Kaiou,

00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:01.680
and this is how my first match goes?

00:13:06.680 --> 00:13:07.930
Is it talent?

00:13:15.030 --> 00:13:16.770
Will I get yelled at?

00:13:16.770 --> 00:13:20.188
Nah, maybe I
only ever made first

00:13:20.212 --> 00:13:23.630
string because Kaiou
ain 't what it was.

00:13:24.330 --> 00:13:27.280
Guess nobody expects much from me.

00:13:27.770 --> 00:13:29.160
Eleven-two!

00:13:29.160 --> 00:13:30.660
Match goes to Kong!

00:13:32.770 --> 00:13:33.660
Pitiful.

00:13:56.300 --> 00:13:58.230
I did it! I won!

00:13:58.230 --> 00:14:00.090
Thank you, Kong.

00:14:00.090 --> 00:14:01.920
That was just the first round.

00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:05.600
But I was up against Higashi from South High!

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.140
So what, moron? Even I beat a guy from North High.

00:14:09.140 --> 00:14:12.850
Listen up. Practice hard and you will get stronger.

00:14:12.850 --> 00:14:13.810
That's truth.

00:14:13.810 --> 00:14:18.670
Then if I work myself to death, will I be able to play like Tsukimoto?!

00:14:18.670 --> 00:14:19.740
Not a chance.

00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:23.560
Joking. Who knows?

00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:25.850
Maybe talent is sleeping somewhere inside you.

00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:47.940
Enter the Hero

00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:50.700
The second round matches will now begin.

00:14:50.700 --> 00:14:53.700
Players, please report to your designated tables.

00:14:55.100 --> 00:14:57.200
I remember you.

00:14:58.530 --> 00:15:01.000
I wish you'd forgotten.

00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:06.710
FYI, I'm a little different from last year.

00:15:06.710 --> 00:15:10.720
Japanese penhold with a rubber on the back! This guy...

00:15:12.850 --> 00:15:15.190
I've been remodeled.

00:15:15.190 --> 00:15:17.890
Keep that in mind, Kong!

00:15:24.230 --> 00:15:26.520
Game goes to Tsukimoto!

00:15:26.520 --> 00:15:29.990
Tsukimoto Makoto is nothing if not brilliant.

00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:35.120
Perfectly efficient movements, stroke variations, control, and speed.

00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.140
He's phenomenal at everything.

00:15:37.140 --> 00:15:38.070
Ryuuichi.

00:15:38.070 --> 00:15:39.890
Yes, sir.

00:15:39.890 --> 00:15:40.890
What's wrong?

00:15:41.890 --> 00:15:43.500
Table twelve.

00:15:44.350 --> 00:15:45.810
Kong Wenge.

00:15:45.810 --> 00:15:46.750
Yes, sir.

00:15:47.260 --> 00:15:48.490
Watch closely.

00:15:48.490 --> 00:15:50.670
You'll definitely go against him later.

00:15:50.670 --> 00:15:52.380
I'm not so sure about that.

00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:55.510
He's going to lose the first game.

00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:58.490
Out!

00:15:58.490 --> 00:16:00.470
Ten-seven, Hoshino!

00:16:00.470 --> 00:16:01.580
Crap!

00:16:01.580 --> 00:16:02.520
Wenge...

00:16:02.520 --> 00:16:04.390
Hoshino? Who is that?

00:16:04.390 --> 00:16:05.650
I don't know.

00:16:05.650 --> 00:16:09.460
Kong's probably panicking right about now.

00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:13.650
This is someone he skunked a year ago, after all.

00:16:14.780 --> 00:16:17.410
Is this really the same guy from last year?

00:16:18.280 --> 00:16:19.870
He 's completely different.

00:16:19.870 --> 00:16:22.910
That guy didn 't have drives. Is he someone else?

00:16:22.910 --> 00:16:23.910
He 's fast!

00:16:25.920 --> 00:16:27.670
No! It 's him!

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.460
He hasn 't overcome his weak backhand side.

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:34.580
Why no RPB shots, then?

00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:36.950
Isn 't that what the rubber is for?

00:16:37.180 --> 00:16:38.970
Does he not have a reverse side?

00:16:38.970 --> 00:16:40.190
Does it not exist?

00:16:40.190 --> 00:16:42.360
He doesn't really have a backhand, Wenge!

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.310
Don't let the racket fool you!

00:16:44.310 --> 00:16:47.060
He hasn't mastered the RPB style yet!

00:16:47.810 --> 00:16:48.730
That 's it!

00:16:48.730 --> 00:16:49.940
Ni hao.

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:52.380
This kid... That 's it!

00:16:55.650 --> 00:16:56.700
Right there.

00:17:00.410 --> 00:17:01.370
Damn!

00:17:02.970 --> 00:17:04.130
Eleven-eight!

00:17:04.130 --> 00:17:06.170
Game goes to Hoshino!

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.010
Kong lost a game.

00:17:08.010 --> 00:17:10.950
That penholder's using both sides of the bat!

00:17:10.950 --> 00:17:14.200
Go over all the data on Hoshino of Katase again.

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.680
His backhand was almost like a forehand.

00:17:16.930 --> 00:17:18.280
That punk...

00:17:18.280 --> 00:17:21.630
I told him to test his reverse side against weaker opponents first.

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:26.079
The better your opponent, the more effective bluffs are.

00:17:26.730 --> 00:17:28.560
Love ya, Peco.

00:17:29.020 --> 00:17:30.310
Yeah!

00:17:31.450 --> 00:17:32.320
You there!

00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:36.270
You're in the middle of a game, Tsukimoto!

00:17:36.270 --> 00:17:37.200
Right.

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:38.660
I'm sorry.

00:17:40.290 --> 00:17:42.170
Welcome back, hero.

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.670
My, my.

00:17:49.670 --> 00:17:52.520
He just up and learned the Chiquita and its reverse!

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:56.140
What an unbelievable kid.

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:58.590
He grows right before your eyes.

00:17:58.590 --> 00:17:59.660
Yeah.

00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:02.300
It's probably a game to him.

00:18:02.300 --> 00:18:05.733
The way he kicks
people in the back to

00:18:05.757 --> 00:18:09.190
instantly climb up
the ranks is terrifying.

00:18:09.190 --> 00:18:13.260
The reasonable assumption is probably that Kong panicked and went off his game.

00:18:13.260 --> 00:18:14.190
Yes.

00:18:14.950 --> 00:18:15.850
However...

00:18:19.890 --> 00:18:20.780
Yeah!

00:18:22.270 --> 00:18:24.740
Nine-six, Hoshino!

00:18:27.540 --> 00:18:29.270
Do you remember?

00:18:29.270 --> 00:18:35.050
The first time you play me, you can't take one point off me.

00:18:35.050 --> 00:18:37.470
Xie xie, Kong.

00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:41.510
It's all thanks to you that I managed to get better.

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:45.010
You taught me how to fly!

00:18:58.910 --> 00:19:00.400
Talent?

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:15.050
Done already, Mr. Tsukimoto?

00:19:15.050 --> 00:19:15.910
Yes.

00:19:15.990 --> 00:19:17.560
That was quick.

00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:19.860
You didn't watch me?

00:19:19.860 --> 00:19:22.470
No. I knew you'd win anyway.

00:19:22.850 --> 00:19:23.870
I lost.

00:19:23.870 --> 00:19:24.780
What?

00:19:24.780 --> 00:19:25.910
Just kidding.

00:19:26.890 --> 00:19:27.970
Hoshino?

00:19:28.370 --> 00:19:31.980
Yeah. He's playing an interesting game.

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:34.660
He's an RPB... driver...

00:19:36.690 --> 00:19:38.830
What? You're not going to watch?

00:19:38.830 --> 00:19:40.650
I know he'll win anyway.

00:19:42.930 --> 00:19:43.830
Out!

00:19:43.930 --> 00:19:46.060
Ten-seven, Hoshino!

00:19:46.060 --> 00:19:48.010
He's coming.

00:19:48.010 --> 00:19:49.130
Yes.

00:19:49.130 --> 00:19:50.420
Good boy.

00:19:53.050 --> 00:19:55.830
I wish I at least got to spend my eternal exile in Europe...

00:19:55.830 --> 00:19:59.500
Sweden or Germany or someplace.

00:20:00.050 --> 00:20:03.700
First, I 'll get into the top four and head to nationals.

00:20:04.800 --> 00:20:06.350
Japan?

00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:10.180
You can do it, Kong!

00:20:10.810 --> 00:20:12.940
Say hi to Kazama for me.

00:20:25.410 --> 00:20:27.850
Got your ticket, Wenge?

00:20:27.850 --> 00:20:30.580
Wenge, I 'll be waiting for you.

00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:48.180
Welcome home.

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:55.680
Match goes to Hoshino!

00:20:59.790 --> 00:21:02.190
Call me when you're in a pinch!

00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:05.920
Chant this three times in your mind!

00:21:06.600 --> 00:21:08.040
Enter the hero!

00:21:08.040 --> 00:21:09.710
Enter the hero!

00:21:09.710 --> 00:21:11.200
Enter the hero!

00:21:11.900 --> 00:21:14.230
If you do that, I'll come to you!

00:21:18.130 --> 00:21:20.380
I'll come from planet Ping Pong!

00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:30.920
A red sun stares at me

00:21:31.930 --> 00:21:37.930
The world goes blurry when I yawn

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:52.240
Everything tells me this is the end

00:21:53.620 --> 00:21:56.500
I do have some dreams, you know

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:59.210
Sometimes we breathe

00:21:59.210 --> 00:22:02.070
and just seem to inhale the smoke of someone

00:22:02.070 --> 00:22:03.670
somewhere out of sight

00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:08.880
Then we are pure determination

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.680
I don't understand this wonderland

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:17.430
I won't get wet even if it rains

00:22:17.930 --> 00:22:21.480
This is a wonderland

00:22:35.830 --> 00:22:41.830
Once I've made it through this long tunnel

00:22:43.040 --> 00:22:49.040
I'm sure that someone will kiss me
