Please have some tea.
What teamwork? You...
Listen to me first...
What's on your mind?
Wait.
Do you mean Honmulo?
Yes.
Today
Caoci is looking up the sky all the time.
Caoci he...
Dowei-kun, what's Honmulo?
The air current here.
In winters, the strong norther brows down from Honmu Mountain
Wind
The Iocals call it Honmulo
Facing the final tomorrow
The plan we work out now may not be useful.
I see. Dango
Yep. Though it's the Iast day
if we three work in a team
and exchange our ideas
perhaps we can win the Iocal Caoci
You mean we work in a team once the boat is set.
What do you think of it? Potoye
It's a foul to work in a team during the contest.
Before we're to do so before the contest.
I think it's worthwhile
Dowei, I can't help if you say that
It's a deal.
Ep 07 The Most lmportant Thing.
So cold.
Do you?
I feel hot.
How about the windsticks for windy weather?
OK. He may have prepared for me.
Ci should have forseen it.
You must thank him.
Haven't Ganqun and Caoci seen it?
Yup.It'll be delivered on the day of the contest.
Speaking of Ganqun and Caoci
They have changed completely since yesterday.
Neither did they talk, nor looking at each other.
They Iook on each other as their final rival to be a champion.
Probably we can win them.
Er... Uh...
It Iooks delicious. Hurry.
The contest is about to begin. Add more tomato jam.
Forget the changes.
Amaisa
Thanks for coming.
For the sake of being the strongest player
here comes the sixth day
of the intensive fight
among freshers of this year
The first round of Fresher Cup Final
is coming soon.
Different from the air current yesterday
there's Honmulo today
whose fastest instant speed
is 22 nms.
Use super PIT to enter the air vavle
If the air current is changed suddenly
Honmulo
may be favorable to the Iocals.
That's to say
the one we should keep an eye on during the contest
is not Ganqun
All boats are running up.
The first one is No.1 boat Ganqun
Now No.2 boat Caoci surpassed No.1 boat.
Caoci
He is the first now.
No.2 boat is first now.
No.4, 2 and 1 are following. Damn. Bastard!
It's my place.
You're too hurry
to seize the first course.
Let's see the course.
No.2 boat Caoci is in the first course.
Does he want to win in this course?
No.5 boat Dowei is in the second course.
No.4 boat Dango is in the third course.
No.1 boat Ganqun is in the fourth course.
Something happened to No.3 boat Sunfoty
The engine flamed out.
No.6 boat Potoye is in the fifth course.
How dare you surpass me?
OK.
You'll know
that I'm good at seizing the first.
Well. The contest is starting.
Final. AIl the boats are rushing forward.
Ganqun
Too fast.
They may change to run secretly.
It starts now.
Now Ganqun in the fourth course is leading up.
It's just the beginning
Within 0.02 second it'Il start.
Wait and see. Caoci. I'll definitely win.
Now it's a turning
Wind.
No.1 boat turned.
This is the famous air current, Honmulo
Who
No. 2 boat Caoci
Next, No.4 boat Dango
What's the turning?
I slowed down intentionally
then minishing the turning
That's...
the way to deal with the air current.
The next one is
No.6 boat Potoye
Potoye
Come on...Capsize
It turns to intensive seesaw game.
Now the three boats are running at the same speed.
Potoye is a Iittle faster.
Damn Potoye
He uses MONKEY TURN from beginning.
What on earth does he good at?
Another one
He slowed down intentionally just now
and ran in here by small turning.
As freshers, they have keen eyes.
But it's my place
No one would know more than me.
Next turning
you'Il all capsize
Ah...
The two boats from the Iast course are catching up.
The surf here is higher than that inside.
Huge spray will be coming up.
Can No.6 boat at the side course
run inside?
Shier
Don't know.
For the time being, No.4 boat Dango is Ieading up.
No.2 boat Caoci is following him closely.
No.6 boat Potoye is the third one now.
Dango, next, it's your turn.
Let me surpass the second surf.
The surf is higher than I thought.
No.4 boat slid out.
The second air current
There's set movement
Here No.2 boat Caoci won instead of lose
No.
Impact
No.6 boat ran into No.2 boat.
Bastard.
Potoye, you...
You're not gonna run away.
With your skills
the slight impact shouldn't be problem.
Being the SG-grade player of the main course
Caoci couldn't get away from the two freshers.
The same as just now
the three are together again.
Potoye he...
is able to think so much under such a huge surf.
Dango
Potoye is Iooking this way.
No.6 boat ran into No.2 boat again.
I see. So that's it.
No.4 boat is following up.
No good.
They seem to attack from both sides.
No.6 boat and No.4 boat are approaching.
He'd be gulfed by the surf.
No.2 boat lagged behind.
After Ganqun who has most supports
No.2 boat Caoci couldn't be the champion.
On the contrary, the fresher this time is going to be the champion
Let's fight it out. Dango
The fresher ally final
is between...
No.4 boat Dango Honda
who just joined last year
and No.6 boat Potoye Shier
Shier is in the Iast Iap.
It seems work.
Kioyu
They look handsome.
Which one would you prefer if you want one of them as boyfriend?
Aren't they younger than you?
Fool. I mean you.
No.6 boat passed the first sign in advance.
Next it's No.4 boat.
Good chance.
No.4 is leading up.
So small surf
I won't lose here...
What?
No.6 is going all out
He wants to use MONKEY here.
What's wrong with Ganqun and Caoci?
They were surpassed by two freshers.
But...
Isn't the contest great?
DangoHonda who Ied up at the second sign in the first round
now is coming into the second sign of the second lap.
Look. The result hasn't come up.
The beeline accelerations are drawing.
Don't worry.
It'Il be more interesting in the third Iap.
There may not be such contest in G1 -grade contest.
Shier
GO GO GO!
The third lap.
But the result still hasn't come up.
Both rushed out.
Potoye
The first sign, No.6 led up.
Damn...
Over.
Finally it's over.
No.6 boat which lost balance
got over finally.
No problem.
Why is he still alright?
Yep. Why could he use MONKEY on such surface?
Damn Potoye!
Right.
Hewantsto use MONKEYTURN inthesurf
The second Iap is almost finished.
Where did he Iearn the skill?
Tokyo...
Edocun?
Hold on a Iittle more.
Think about it
The surface of Tokyo Edocun Racing Boat Court
I turned over several times
either in practise or contest
Ci-san thought it's related to the air current from earlier.
He wants to go at full speed again?
If the surf comes up from behind
the boat will capsize in a split second
If he dodges it
the surf will fall to other place.
That's my object.
The Iast Iap
The result must be come out here.
Fight it out.
I won't lose no matter how.
Shit! How can I lose to you?
I'll never regret any more.
No.6 is Ieading up now in the Iast Iap.
Are they serious?
They're not kidding.
Under such air current
few player could do so
There should be none.
Concentrate on the course
Deal with the surf by joined effort with the boat.
Good. That's it.
I'm going.
No.4 boat capsized
at the second sign of the last lap.
No. 4 boat Dango Honda capsized
No.6 boat reached the terminal
at the first round.
Potoye Shier is the winner.
No.2 boat Caoci, the second
No.1 boat Ganqun, the third
No. 5 boat Dowei, the fourth
Congratulations! Shier
Well done. Potoye
Ask him to show up.
The champion Potoye today didn't hurt, did he?
Caoci
Yes.
Potoye slowed down, so he is fine.
Did he?
It's hard for you to push me out
But why is there only him standing on the stage?
That's gig.
And I think if not
they couldn't have won Caoci and Ganqun
Sorry.
Don't mention it.
That's gig.
Come back to it
I didn't think that you'd rush at full speed in the turning of the Iast sign.
Turn at full speed?
I wasn't on purpose.
What?
I just don't want to regret in the future.
Potoye and l
had intensive memorial contest before graduation from Dahu College
I was nervous for the wind during the contest.
He surpassed me at the Iast turning.
But it turned out this way.
We've to start again.
You don't want to regret?
To tell the truth
there's only slight difference between our strength.
Both Potoye and you
Whom do you want most
to share your happiness of victory?
I think...anyway...
My sensei Ci...
Anyway?
No. Er...
Dad didn't...
Don't you want to watch the Cup Award Ceremony? Spare me!
Thank everybody!
Cheers!
Good work.
I feel so nervous.
You're great. Shier. Here is Sushi.
Great. Super delicious.
Congratulations for my victory?
Be reserved.
Well. Shier
Have you reported to Ci?
No good.
Fool
Certainly you should have reported to sensei first.
I see.
I couldn't have won by myself.
Thanks to Ci-sensei.
Hello!
Potoye?
Speaking.
I succeeded.
I'm the champion.
Have you watched the final?
Yes. I watched the relay.
Thank you very much.
If it weren't for you...
Why did you run into other's boat?
At the second sign of the last lap
you ran into Caoci, didn't you?
Huge spray came up
In such case
if you ran into the rival
he was very likely to capsize.
But he is a local
he shouldn't capsize.
Oh? So that's what you thought.
What if he capsized there?
You, who caused the capsize
will be canceled your qualification for dangerous operations.
But
you won him just for his good skill.
What shall I do?
Shier
Can't win.
It seems I was wrong.
You may have forgot what's more important than victory.
The most important thing
The one who doesn't know it can't be a gig player.
You're expelled, Potoye
From now on, we're not master and apprentice any more.
Wait. Ci-san
Shier
What's wrong? Shier
I don't wrong.
He is picking my mistakes in the final.
Then?
He said that I didn't know what's the most important thing.
If I don't know, he'd expel me.
Why? You're so hardworking.
Anyway Iet's go to visit Ci-san first
and apologize to him.
That'd be better. Shier
It's not the problem.
But you pissed him off, didn't you?
I don't understand why I was wrong. How can I apologize to him?
Foo. Don't you know why you were wrong?
You said I was a fool?
Wanna a piece of me?
I'm pissed off now.
What?
Shier, uncle, stop.
Even you stop me, I must do what a father should do.
Dad.
Sturgeon. Protect sturgeon.
OK.
Go to fight outside if you like.
It's raining.
Yeah. It's raining.
It's so heavy.
Right. I didn't find out just now.
Grandma is still angry.
I don't know.
It'll be troublesome if she gets angry.
Women of our family...
Horrible.
Well. Shier
It seems that you've to think out the most important thing Ci said.
I think so.
The most important thing to a gig player
I see.
Shier
Ci-san
Ci-san, can you hear me?
This is Potoye
I'm such a fool.
Something more important than victory...
The most important thing...
is life.
Should there be a tiny mistake, we'll Iose our Iife.
That's the danger of our work.
If we don't take the security as the most important thing in contest
it'Il be dangerous.
I forgot so important thing
I'm such a fool.
Dad.
I'm going to prepare for the bath water.
Ci-san
