Were starting the #2 singles match for
Fuji of Seigaku versus Mizuki of St. Rudolph.
F-Fuji
H-He looks different than usual, and scary
Whats wrong with Fuji?
My, my, you have a very angry expression.
Well, lets have a great match.
One-set match. Fuji of Seigaku to serve.
Mizuki is great!
G-Great.
Hes going to win this match!
Why are they so surprised?
He got a return ace.
Fuji couldnt move at all
Mizuki is good.
I dont suppose hes going to lose, is he?
Mizukis game plan
The data does not lie, thats certain.
Shusuke Fuji, youre a really strong player.
But you cant beat me.
Because
not only have I researched my opponent thoroughly,
and know what to expect,
but I also practiced my game plans based on my data in advance.
So, I can see everything, Fuji
All of your weak spots.
Fuji
Its not good. He researched him very well.
Yeah, I have a bad feeling
Dont worry! Come on, Fuji!
Are you leaving now?
Yeah
Game. Mizuki of St. Rudolph leads one game to love.
Oh, my God! He lost his service game so quickly!
Dont worry. The match has just started!
Hey, I heard Fuji of Seigaku is struggling.
No way!
Anyway, lets go watch.
Whos Seigakus opponent?
Its St. Rudolph.
Whoa!
Game. Mizuki of St. Rudolph leads five games to love.
Change Court!
Way to go Mizuki!
Hell easily win this match!
Mizuki! Mizuki! Mizuki!
Mizuki! Mizuki!
Youll never surpass your brother.
Mizuki! Mizuki! Mizuki!
Why is everyone so excited? This was the expected result.
Mizuki! Mizuki!
If everybody played exactly as I said
Mizuki Huh?
I just want to make sure.
Did you know that the twist spin shot puts a big strain on the body, and still
you taught it to Yuta?
Winning is whats important.
And winning always comes with a price.
Switching rackets now
will make no difference.
Isnt it pathetic, Shusuke Fuji?
I know you use another racket with a different tension
to make minor changes in power or spin.
Too bad, though.
The tension of the strings on that gold racket is 58 pounds.
I already researched it
You disappoint me. I thought you were a genius.
Huh?
Were you able to get good data on him?
Yes, Inui.
Im wondering if he was successful in collecting accurate data.
Huh?
What are you talking about, Inui?
Thats why hes behind zero to five!
Even I cant collect accurate data for Fuji.
What?! Huh?!
Hey, whats going on?
Huh?
Its a wasted effort.
You cant return this.
Well, this is it
Huh?!
No wayThat was supposed to be a tough spot for him to hit the ball.
Actually, that wasmy favorite spot.
Show off
Okay! Come on!
Time for a counterattack!
Right, break him down!
Oh, we finally agreed on something.
Shut up.
N-No way
This cant behappening!
How aboutthis spot?
This spot didnt work either
Not this one, either?!
Here?
Why?
Why? These spots were supposed to be his weak spots.
Weak spots?
Those are all my favorites.
This cant be happening. My research is never wrong!
If allmy datais wrong, then
Fuji doesnt let others know his weaknesses
Mizuki only thought he knew what they were.
Great play, Fuji!
Go for it!
Wow, Fuji is so cool!
Tomo!
I can see why hes such a genius.
Now that Mizukis data turned out to be faulty,
he has no chance to win.
Isnt that right, Inui?
I agree. I know its tough
Game and set. Fuji of Seigaku wins seven games to five.
Hyotei
Thats Shusuke Fuji for you.
Hes playing perfect tennis.
Youd better remember him, Kabaji.
Okay.
What a loser.
YouYou set up that love-five score on purpose!
You sneaky, lying!
Thanksfor taking care of my little brother.
Brother
That was a good match, I would say, in many ways.
Right
Yay! What a come back!
He didnt give up another point once he got in gear. Its amazing!
Hes cool!
Damn! I had to win!
Theres no reason to play if I cant win the match.
Mizuki, theres still the chance to play a match for fifth place.
I shouldnt have lost at this stage.
Even one loss is unacceptable! It leaves a stain on St. Rudolphs record!
Tachibana, theyre crying over the match.
Fudomine!
Youll never understand how I feel.
You can build a whole new St. Rudolph!
Thats just high-and-mighty talk
Thats how we did it.
Lets go!
Whats wrong?
Oh, wellnothing.
Seigaku beats St. Rudolph. The result is three to one.
Thank you. Thank you!
Game and set. Fudomine wins. The score is six games to four.
Ishida and Sakurai pair.
Game and set. Fudomine wins. The score is six games to one.
Ibu and Kamio pair.
Hyotei lost two doubles matches in a row. That was unexpected.
Its best to win the first matches.
It looks like Fudomine is dominating.
I think so, too.
Oh!
H-Hello
Im not going to interrupt your work. Ill just collect some data.
Oh! Tachibana is next!
Youre the captain. Im surprised youre playing this early.
Well, it doesnt matter who my opponent is.
Ill win the match in 20 minutes!
Hows your arm?
Its all right.
I see.
Well Do you need to talk to me?
Do you enjoy playing tennis?
Huh? Well, I think so.
Thats important. Especially if you want to keep playing.
Y-Yes.
Keep advancing to the Regional Matches.
My boys are looking forward to seeing you there as well.
Okay!
Hyotei! Hyotei! Hyotei! Hyotei
Hey Youve had enough fun, havent you?
I can move in pretty soon, right?
What?!
Game! Fudomine leads one game to love.
Who is he?
No kidding, Shishido is
Now I remember
Huh?
I saw him in the video from last years nationals.
I didnt recognize him because hes not blond.
He was one of the two best players in the Kyushu district.
The ace of Shishigaku Intermediate School Tachibana.
Game and set. Fudomine wins. The score is six games to love.
Sorry I won in 15 minutes.
I didnt know he was in the Metropolitan Tournament
Uh-huh, I see.
Kippei Tachibana Hes a nationally ranked player.
What?
I didnt pay any attention because its an unknown school.
You took advantage of it.
Then you made a lineup to take the first three matches
You got us, Tachibana.
Fudomine wins. The result is three to love.
Ogawa and Chikabayashi lost their doubles match, four games to six.
Kaida and Kashiwa also lost their doubles match, one game to six.
Though Shishido is a regular, he was thrashed love to six.
Well, we didnt expect wed lose in the quarterfinals
Yes, Ill remove Shishido from the regulars.
And please tell Jiro to come by next week.
The first day of the tournament is over.
The schools that will advance to the semifinals are:
Fudomine, Yamabuki, Ginka, and Seigaku.
Those four schools are eligible to play at the Regional Matches.
They made it!
Theyll play at the Kanto Matches!
The semifinals, finals and consolation matches will be held next week.
Thats all, thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
Mizuki
Thank you for everything.
Yuta, youre not planning on leaving us, are you?
No, but I owe everything to Mizuki for bringing me this far
and I am grateful for that.
And to concentrate on winning is not a bad thing, I think.
But from now on
Ill try to do it by myself.
Is that okay, Mizuki?
I see. I understand.
Thank you!
Ill win my consolation match!
Yuta! Good luck in your consolation match!
S-Shut up!
If St. Rudolph advances to the Regional Matches,
I hope well have a match.
I dont want to play against you.
Id prefer challenging Tezuka instead.
By the way, Yuta, youre going to stop by the house today, right?
Nope!
Mom made that curry with pumpkin and shes waiting for you.
What?!
Oh, yeahand our big sister was baking a raspberry pie.
I lostthe #1 doubles match
I shouldve hit that shot in the other direction.
I shouldve done something different earlier
Dammit!
Okay! Self-criticism time is over!
I knew youd be here.
Oh, Oishi. Im already done.
Ever since we started playing doubles together,
weve had meetings here whenever we lost a match.
How many times have we come here?
I dont remember.
OishiThis is probably the last time for us to come here!
Well keep progressing! And well go to
Go where?
The Metropolitan Matches, of course. And the Regional Matches.
Then
Well become number one at the Nationals!
Oh? Wherere Kikumaru and Oishi?
Dont worryThose two like to hang out somewhere on the way.
Really?
Look, Momo is drooling!
Hey! Kaido is too!
Shh! Talking about Momo is okay, but not Kaido!
Huh?
The soft breeze and the light streaming
through the trees welcomes me
But hes so cute!
Though it may be too late, I now understand those
Words you gave me
Kawamura, push the bell for them.
Oh, okay.
The memories of you stay with me
everywhere I go
I was pretending to be strong, but I was bluffing
I am actually weak inside
Each time the breeze comes it takes with it a memory
Fly, fly away
I never cry
One day when we reach the crossroads of our colorful future
Together well walk on the way
Ill take you with mewalk on the life.
