Club Submission Form
I wish to join the .
Class 1-5 - Narumiya Minato
Signature of - Narumiya Toshimasa

2
00:00:10,635 --> 00:00:12,220
I know I said that I didn't
want to join the club,

3
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:16,349
and that I'm not an archer anymore...

4
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:19,310
But I really do want to shoot.

5
00:00:19,394 --> 00:00:21,396
I'm sorry about my earlier behavior.

6
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:24,357
Please let me join the club.

7
00:00:24,357 --> 00:00:25,400
Please!

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,360
You'll get no objections here, of course.

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,405
I can't think of any reason to refuse.

10
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,366
Welcome to the Kazemai Kyudo Club.

11
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:36,327
We're happy to have you back, Minato.

12
00:00:37,328 --> 00:00:40,373
Yeah! We're in this together now, Minato!

13
00:00:41,332 --> 00:00:46,379
If you're joining, that means you fixed
your target panic whatsit, right?

14
00:00:47,297 --> 00:00:49,340
No, I still have target panic.

15
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:50,383
What, for real?

16
00:00:51,342 --> 00:00:54,345
We know it's not something
that can be cured that easily.

17
00:00:54,345 --> 00:00:55,388
Take it one day at a time.

18
00:00:56,306 --> 00:01:00,310
So you still s***, but you're
gonna join the club anyway?

19
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:03,354
Yeah.

20
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:29,380
Tsurune

21
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:44,372
Minato! And Seiya!

22
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:47,375
I wish he'd stop treating us like a set...

23
00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:51,337
Let's have another great day!

24
00:02:51,337 --> 00:02:54,298
I've had Tommy-sensei watching my form,

25
00:02:54,298 --> 00:02:56,300
and he said I can start wearing hakama today!

26
00:02:56,384 --> 00:02:58,344
Archery's really awesome, huh?

27
00:02:58,344 --> 00:03:01,347
Look, Ryohei, I was going to go to club.

28
00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:03,391
You didn't have to fetch me.

29
00:03:03,391 --> 00:03:05,309
I know that.

30
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:06,352
Given when you showed up,

31
00:03:06,352 --> 00:03:09,313
you must have sprinted over
the second class ended, right?

32
00:03:09,313 --> 00:03:10,314
That's not—

33
00:03:10,314 --> 00:03:10,398
Yes, it is.

34
00:03:10,398 --> 00:03:11,357
It is.

35
00:03:12,358 --> 00:03:16,320
It's just... I said that thing
about you being cured,

36
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,364
and then things got pretty tense...

37
00:03:19,323 --> 00:03:23,327
Um, so I guess I wanted to
make you more comfortable.

38
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:25,329
It wasn't your fault, Ryohei.

39
00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:28,374
I knew some people wouldn't welcome me.

40
00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:31,377
I was prepared to deal with hostility, too.

41
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:33,379
But still...

42
00:03:34,338 --> 00:03:35,381
Um...

43
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:38,342
Ryohei, I'll help you put on your hakama.

44
00:03:39,302 --> 00:03:40,344
S-Sure!

45
00:03:40,344 --> 00:03:41,345
I'm heading out first.

46
00:03:41,345 --> 00:03:42,346
Okay.

47
00:03:44,348 --> 00:03:46,392
You don't need to worry that much.

48
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:48,394
If Minato engages wholeheartedly,

49
00:03:48,394 --> 00:03:50,396
Onogi will eventually come around.

50
00:03:51,355 --> 00:03:52,356
There, all done.

51
00:03:53,399 --> 00:03:55,359
Typical Seiya! It's perfect!

52
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:57,320
How's it look?

53
00:03:57,403 --> 00:04:04,368
But for better or worse, we have
just enough club members now.

54
00:04:08,331 --> 00:04:10,416
Oh, was I on targets today?

55
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:11,375
Yes.

56
00:04:11,375 --> 00:04:13,377
Sorry! I'll do it now.

57
00:04:13,377 --> 00:04:16,297
Narumiya-kun already set them all up.

58
00:04:16,297 --> 00:04:16,380
Wow!

59
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:18,299
Narumiya!

60
00:04:18,341 --> 00:04:19,383
Merha!

61
00:04:19,383 --> 00:04:21,385
I see you set up the targets already!

62
00:04:21,385 --> 00:04:22,345
Thanks!

63
00:04:22,345 --> 00:04:24,347
I don't mind doing it...

64
00:04:24,347 --> 00:04:26,349
But could I ask you one question?

65
00:04:26,349 --> 00:04:27,350
Yes?

66
00:04:27,350 --> 00:04:29,352
What exactly is "merha"?

67
00:04:29,393 --> 00:04:31,312
It's an abbreviation of "merhaba"!

68
00:04:31,312 --> 00:04:32,396
It means "hello" in Turkish!

69
00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:34,357
Try it!

70
00:04:34,357 --> 00:04:36,317
Try... it?

71
00:04:36,317 --> 00:04:38,361
Go on, wipe that scowl off your face!

72
00:04:38,361 --> 00:04:39,403
Please, after me!

73
00:04:40,321 --> 00:04:41,322
Merha!

74
00:04:41,322 --> 00:04:41,405
Me—

75
00:04:42,406 --> 00:04:46,369
Narumiya-kun, you really don't
have to humor Kisaragi-kun.

76
00:04:46,369 --> 00:04:49,330
So many tsundere girls in the kyudo club.

77
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:50,373
But that's something I like about you.

78
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:53,376
Like we'd ever be dere for you, Kisaragi-kun.

79
00:04:53,376 --> 00:04:57,338
That's right. You can't hold a candle to Seo.

80
00:04:57,338 --> 00:05:01,384
That's right. Seo's hotter than
most of the boys around here.

81
00:05:01,384 --> 00:05:06,305
Aw, Seo-san's just normal
levels of cute to me.
Kisaragi's really something.

82
00:05:06,347 --> 00:05:07,390
C'mon, let's get along!

83
00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:09,392
There's only the eight of us here, you know?

84
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:13,396
You say "only," but whose fault
is it that we lost so many?

85
00:05:13,396 --> 00:05:18,359
Culture Club Staff Room
It was so obnoxious how Nanao-kun's
fans kept hanging off him.

86
00:05:18,359 --> 00:05:22,321
And saying that beginners need to
wear gym uniforms until July...

87
00:05:22,321 --> 00:05:24,407
I only joined because
I wanted to wear hakama.

88
00:05:24,407 --> 00:05:27,326
Also, Onogi-kun scares me.

89
00:05:27,368 --> 00:05:31,330
I thought doing archery might be really cool...

90
00:05:31,330 --> 00:05:34,333
But having to use rubber practice
bows for so long seems pretty harsh.

91
00:05:34,333 --> 00:05:35,418
Also, Onogi scares me.

92
00:05:35,418 --> 00:05:38,379
Nanao-kun's fans are so intimidating...

93
00:05:38,379 --> 00:05:40,381
I'm not great at sitting in seiza position.

94
00:05:41,299 --> 00:05:42,383
And Onogi-kun's kind of...

95
00:05:42,383 --> 00:05:46,345
Sorry, I thought if I did kyudo, I wouldn't
have to lift weights and stuff.

96
00:05:46,345 --> 00:05:47,388
And Onogi's really...

97
00:05:47,388 --> 00:05:51,350
Whenever we get close to
Nanao-kun, Onogi-kun gets mad.

98
00:05:51,392 --> 00:05:54,353
Kids these days are so wishy-washy.

99
00:05:54,395 --> 00:05:56,314
It's a real problem.

100
00:05:56,314 --> 00:05:58,316
Like you've got nothing to do with it...

101
00:05:58,316 --> 00:05:59,358
So you think it's my fault?

102
00:06:03,321 --> 00:06:04,322
Onogi-kun?

103
00:06:04,322 --> 00:06:05,364
Enough, Noa.

104
00:06:05,364 --> 00:06:06,407
It's not true.

105
00:06:06,407 --> 00:06:09,410
They were just using Onogi
and Kisaragi as excuses.

106
00:06:09,410 --> 00:06:12,288
They would have quit
sooner or later anyway.

107
00:06:12,371 --> 00:06:14,373
It was a good litmus test, actually.

108
00:06:15,332 --> 00:06:15,374
Seo...

109
00:06:15,374 --> 00:06:17,334
I'll take it.

110
00:06:17,334 --> 00:06:20,337
But anyway, we've obviously got cute girls,

111
00:06:20,337 --> 00:06:22,298
and now that Narumiya's joined up,

112
00:06:22,298 --> 00:06:24,383
we've got the five guys needed
to enter the group tournament.

113
00:06:25,342 --> 00:06:26,385
Not a bad trade-off, right?

114
00:06:26,385 --> 00:06:29,305
Like hell I'm being part
of that group tournament.

115
00:06:30,306 --> 00:06:32,391
I don't plan to acknowledge
Narumiya as a teammate.

116
00:06:33,309 --> 00:06:35,352
I don't expect you to acknowledge me.

117
00:06:35,352 --> 00:06:37,354
Just let me shoot here.

118
00:06:37,354 --> 00:06:39,315
What the hell's your problem, anyway?

119
00:06:39,356 --> 00:06:43,402
You say you're quitting, then
immediately crawl right back.

120
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,364
There's nothing I hate
more than flip-floppers.

121
00:06:49,366 --> 00:06:51,368
I don't acknowledge you.

122
00:06:51,368 --> 00:06:56,290
And I sure as hell won't accept you in the kyudo
club, even if it would get us our fifth man!

123
00:06:57,374 --> 00:06:58,334
Cutting in!

124
00:06:59,376 --> 00:07:01,378
Nanao... you...

125
00:07:01,378 --> 00:07:03,380
It's not up to you, Kacchan.

126
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:08,344
Teenagers, eh?
Damn it, Nanao! Read the room!
That's right.
Hey, stop it, you two!

127
00:07:08,344 --> 00:07:13,349
They say, "heavy rains
harden the ground below."
I think you're the one not
reading the room, Kacchan.
I'm sure they'll find
common ground somewhere.

128
00:07:13,390 --> 00:07:15,392
Sensei, are you enjoying this?

129
00:07:16,352 --> 00:07:20,356
I'm merely observing these young
ones' conflicts with interest.

130
00:07:20,356 --> 00:07:22,358
With no intent to intervene?

131
00:07:22,358 --> 00:07:23,400
Would you prefer I did?

132
00:07:24,401 --> 00:07:25,402
No.

133
00:07:27,321 --> 00:07:32,368
Well, I don't know what caused this
change of heart in Narumiya-kun,

134
00:07:32,368 --> 00:07:36,372
but the fact that he decided this himself
suggests he's determined to see it through.

135
00:07:37,331 --> 00:07:39,333
I think it's all right to put faith in that.

136
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:42,336
Do you think so?

137
00:07:42,378 --> 00:07:44,380
Okay, young ones!

138
00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:47,383
Now that you're warmed up, let's practice!

139
00:07:47,383 --> 00:07:49,385
Tommy-sensei! When did you get here?

140
00:07:50,386 --> 00:07:52,388
I'm going home early today.

141
00:07:53,389 --> 00:07:55,307
C'mon, let's go home together!

142
00:07:55,307 --> 00:07:56,350
I want to buy ingredients.

143
00:07:57,309 --> 00:07:59,311
I can't miss the sale.

144
00:07:59,311 --> 00:07:59,395
See you.

145
00:08:01,355 --> 00:08:03,315
I'm telling you, you worry too much.

146
00:08:03,315 --> 00:08:05,317
Kotoha Bus

147
00:08:05,359 --> 00:08:08,320
Hey, Seiya. We talked
about this before, but...

148
00:08:08,404 --> 00:08:11,323
Is there really no way to
help cure target panic?

149
00:08:11,365 --> 00:08:13,325
I'm sorry, Ryohei.

150
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:16,370
I don't want to pester Minato
too much in his current state.

151
00:08:17,371 --> 00:08:20,374
To be honest, when he developed
target panic in middle school,

152
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:23,335
I didn't think much of it.

153
00:08:24,295 --> 00:08:26,338
I assumed it was the pressure
of the finals getting to him.

154
00:08:26,380 --> 00:08:29,383
I thought he'd bounce back
and return to form right away.

155
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:33,387
But that wasn't the case.

156
00:08:34,346 --> 00:08:39,310
By the time I realized how much
he was suffering, it was too late.

157
00:08:41,353 --> 00:08:44,356
So I don't intend to let him go this time.

158
00:08:45,316 --> 00:08:48,319
But I also don't want to drag him
into anything against his will.

159
00:08:48,402 --> 00:08:50,404
No matter how long it takes,

160
00:08:50,404 --> 00:08:52,364
I want him to do what's best for him.

161
00:08:53,324 --> 00:08:55,326
And I'll be there to support him
with everything I have.

162
00:08:55,367 --> 00:08:57,328
You're super mature, Seiya.

163
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:02,374
That's just how I think of it, though.

164
00:09:02,374 --> 00:09:05,336
You should do what you feel is best, too.

165
00:09:05,336 --> 00:09:09,298
Because I don't actually know
the best way to handle this.

166
00:09:10,341 --> 00:09:14,386
I mean, if you don't know,
I can't see how I would...

167
00:09:14,386 --> 00:09:19,308
It would certainly be easier if there was
one right way to interact with people.

168
00:09:25,356 --> 00:09:29,401
To be honest, I thought it would take
longer for Minato to join the club.

169
00:09:30,361 --> 00:09:32,321
I wonder why...

170
00:09:38,327 --> 00:09:41,330
There's no one right way to
interact with others, huh?

171
00:09:42,372 --> 00:09:44,333
Okay!

00:09:48,378 --> 00:09:53,383
"Target panic: A tendency for an archer to
release the arrow when drawing the bow."

175
00:09:54,301 --> 00:09:57,346
"Different people require different
lengths of time to recover."

176
00:09:58,388 --> 00:10:02,392
The books explain it, but for some reason,
none of them say how to fix it...

177
00:10:07,314 --> 00:10:08,357
Oh, sorry!

178
00:10:08,357 --> 00:10:10,317
No, it was my fault.

179
00:10:10,317 --> 00:10:11,401
Do you also do archery?

180
00:10:11,401 --> 00:10:13,320
Also?

181
00:10:13,403 --> 00:10:15,322
Hey, you're a veteran?

182
00:10:15,322 --> 00:10:16,406
Yes, I am.

183
00:10:17,324 --> 00:10:19,368
Then, can you teach me about target panic?

184
00:10:20,327 --> 00:10:21,411
T-Target panic?

185
00:10:22,329 --> 00:10:22,371
Yes!

186
00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:25,415
Nakazaki Archery Supplies

187
00:10:28,335 --> 00:10:32,381
So some kid in glasses told
you to come talk to me, huh?

188
00:10:32,381 --> 00:10:34,341
Y-Yes.

189
00:10:34,341 --> 00:10:37,302
He said you could teach me
a lot of different things.

190
00:10:37,302 --> 00:10:38,387
You're in high school?

191
00:10:38,387 --> 00:10:39,388
Yes!

192
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:41,390
I'm a first-year in the
Kazemai High Kyudo Club!

193
00:10:42,307 --> 00:10:43,350
Kazemai, eh?

194
00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:46,353
I sold them quite a few
things last year, I believe.

195
00:10:46,395 --> 00:10:48,355
Thank you for your help!

196
00:10:48,355 --> 00:10:50,357
Well, I can't turn down
such a loyal customer.

197
00:10:52,317 --> 00:10:53,402
Is this a diary?

198
00:10:53,402 --> 00:10:54,403
Yes.

199
00:10:54,403 --> 00:10:58,323
A friend of mine suffered from target panic.

200
00:10:58,323 --> 00:11:00,367
It's got everything he read about
and tried until he got better.

201
00:11:00,367 --> 00:11:02,327
Thank you so much!

202
00:11:02,327 --> 00:11:03,328
Hold it!

203
00:11:03,328 --> 00:11:04,371
There's a catch.

204
00:11:04,371 --> 00:11:09,293
For at least the next three years,
until you graduate high school,

205
00:11:09,293 --> 00:11:14,381
you'll buy every bowstring, every
underglove, and every grain of rosin from me!

206
00:11:14,381 --> 00:11:15,340
Understand?

207
00:11:15,382 --> 00:11:16,383
I'll do it!

208
00:11:16,383 --> 00:11:18,385
Then you've got yourself a deal!

209
00:11:18,385 --> 00:11:19,386
Thanks a bunch!

210
00:11:24,349 --> 00:11:27,352
Minato... Is this what
you've been struggling with?

211
00:11:28,353 --> 00:11:30,397
But this guy eventually got better.

212
00:11:31,315 --> 00:11:32,357
Which means Minato can, too!

213
00:11:38,363 --> 00:11:40,365
Minato, the bath's free.

214
00:11:41,325 --> 00:11:42,326
'Kay.

215
00:11:43,285 --> 00:11:48,290
Episode Three
Just as They Met

216
00:11:49,374 --> 00:11:51,376
Minato left already?

217
00:11:52,294 --> 00:11:54,379
He's been heading out around
this time every day lately.

218
00:11:54,379 --> 00:11:56,298
I'm sorry.

219
00:11:56,381 --> 00:11:59,384
But Ryohei-kun, you certainly have grown!

220
00:12:01,303 --> 00:12:02,387
Kazemai High School
Kyudo Hall

221
00:12:17,361 --> 00:12:19,363
You're joining the club, then?

222
00:12:19,363 --> 00:12:20,322
Yes.

223
00:12:20,405 --> 00:12:22,324
Take this, then.

224
00:12:22,366 --> 00:12:23,367
What is it?

225
00:12:23,367 --> 00:12:27,371
A journal of all my futile
struggles with target panic.

226
00:12:27,371 --> 00:12:31,291
From now on, the Kazemai Kyudo
Club is where you belong.

227
00:12:31,333 --> 00:12:35,379
Work with your teammates to reflect
on what archery means to you.

228
00:12:37,297 --> 00:12:38,340
Will I ever see you again?

229
00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:41,301
Of course you will,

230
00:12:41,301 --> 00:12:43,345
if you keep practicing archery.

231
00:12:55,315 --> 00:12:57,317
Why's he using makiwara arrows?

232
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,363
"Non-firing technique: stand in front
of the target with a makiwara arrow,

233
00:13:01,405 --> 00:13:05,408
hold your draw for as long as
possible, let down, and repeat."

234
00:13:07,369 --> 00:13:10,330
He's already doing all
the stuff I researched.

235
00:13:11,373 --> 00:13:13,375
I guess Minato really does love archery.

236
00:13:14,334 --> 00:13:16,378
That's what lets him put in
all that effort in private.

237
00:13:16,378 --> 00:13:18,338
He's so awesome!

238
00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:24,386
Hey, is it really my fault
the club lost all its members?

239
00:13:25,345 --> 00:13:26,388
I knew you'd be self-conscious.

240
00:13:27,305 --> 00:13:29,349
Gimme a break. Who's self-conscious?

241
00:13:29,391 --> 00:13:32,394
Kacchan, you really are
serious about archery, huh?

242
00:13:32,394 --> 00:13:34,396
That's why you hate guys who aren't.

243
00:13:37,315 --> 00:13:40,318
When it comes to that, I think
Narumiya is as serious as it gets.

244
00:13:40,318 --> 00:13:41,403
Why don't you acknowledge him already?

245
00:13:41,403 --> 00:13:43,321
It's not the same thing.

246
00:13:43,321 --> 00:13:52,289
Kirisaki High School
This is ridiculous.
Why didn't you just go to a high
school with a great kyudo program?
Who wouldn't rather be the crappy
school beating the great one?

247
00:13:52,330 --> 00:13:55,375
So you do want to join the group tournament.

248
00:13:55,417 --> 00:13:56,376
No.

249
00:13:57,335 --> 00:13:58,336
You stubborn a**.

250
00:13:58,336 --> 00:13:59,379
Shut up.

251
00:14:00,380 --> 00:14:02,299
Seiya, I have a favor to ask.

252
00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:03,300
A favor?

253
00:14:03,341 --> 00:14:04,384
From me?

254
00:14:04,384 --> 00:14:05,385
Is that a problem?

255
00:14:05,385 --> 00:14:06,386
It's fine if you don't wanna.

256
00:14:06,386 --> 00:14:09,306
It's all right... So, what's the favor?

257
00:14:14,311 --> 00:14:15,353
0.65.

258
00:14:17,397 --> 00:14:18,356
Okay!

259
00:14:18,356 --> 00:14:19,357
Narumiya Onogi Seo Shiragiku Hanazawa

260
00:14:21,359 --> 00:14:22,402
0.54.

261
00:14:23,403 --> 00:14:24,404
0.56.

262
00:14:26,323 --> 00:14:27,365
0.75.

263
00:14:27,365 --> 00:14:29,284
You're screwing me up.

264
00:14:29,326 --> 00:14:32,370
If you can't shoot right, go outside
and use the practice bows.

265
00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:34,372
I'm not trying to bother you, Onogi.

266
00:14:34,372 --> 00:14:36,374
You're distracting me!

267
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:38,376
I'm the one who was speaking, though.

268
00:14:38,376 --> 00:14:40,378
Stay outta this, Takehaya!

269
00:14:46,384 --> 00:14:48,303
Tiring work, huh?

270
00:14:49,346 --> 00:14:50,347
Kisaragi?

271
00:14:50,347 --> 00:14:51,389
Call me Nanao.

272
00:14:51,389 --> 00:14:53,350
I call you Ryohei, after all.

273
00:14:53,391 --> 00:14:56,311
It's less that it's tiring,

274
00:14:56,353 --> 00:14:59,314
and more that I'm trying
to figure out what to do.

275
00:14:59,356 --> 00:15:01,358
I keep thinking about it.

276
00:15:01,358 --> 00:15:03,360
About Kacchan and Narumiya, you mean?

277
00:15:04,361 --> 00:15:07,322
You really are a nice guy, Ryohei.

278
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:09,324
I wouldn't say that...

279
00:15:09,324 --> 00:15:11,409
It was my selfishness that
got Minato into this mess.

280
00:15:12,369 --> 00:15:16,331
I always saw Minato as a real cool hero type.

281
00:15:16,331 --> 00:15:19,334
That hasn't changed at all for me.

282
00:15:19,334 --> 00:15:22,337
Plus, I really love being in this club.

283
00:15:22,379 --> 00:15:26,299
I only just started, but I think
everyone's so cool.

284
00:15:26,341 --> 00:15:28,385
So I want them all to get along, I guess...

285
00:15:28,385 --> 00:15:31,388
I freakin' hate seeing people
I love butting heads!

286
00:15:34,307 --> 00:15:36,351
Wait, am I being annoying?

287
00:15:36,351 --> 00:15:37,394
Yeah, severely.

288
00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:40,397
I knew it...

289
00:15:40,397 --> 00:15:42,399
I always do this.

290
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,401
I can't read the room and annoy people.

291
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,321
I wish I was more like you and Seiya.

292
00:15:48,321 --> 00:15:51,366
You watch people closely and
know how to keep the peace.

293
00:15:51,366 --> 00:15:55,328
I wish I was more like you, actually.

294
00:15:56,329 --> 00:15:58,373
I think you're fine just the way you are.

295
00:15:58,373 --> 00:16:02,377
Friends are one thing it's okay to
be nosy about, am I right?

296
00:16:03,294 --> 00:16:03,378
Is that how it works?

297
00:16:05,338 --> 00:16:08,341
Yeah! Sometimes, a little
annoyance is just what you need.

298
00:16:08,341 --> 00:16:10,301
And I think now's one of those times.

299
00:16:10,385 --> 00:16:12,345
Yeah, I've made up my mind.

300
00:16:12,387 --> 00:16:14,389
I'm gonna be nosy, too!

301
00:16:15,306 --> 00:16:16,391
Let's do something, you and me!

302
00:16:18,393 --> 00:16:20,395
So, what do we do?!

303
00:16:20,395 --> 00:16:22,355
Okay, calm down.

304
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:27,318
Okay, let's go over the plan.
Ensnare Kacchan

305
00:16:27,318 --> 00:16:30,363
Kacchan
Minato
Kacchan will see Narumiya doing his
secret training in the morning.

306
00:16:30,363 --> 00:16:34,409
H-Hey! He's really doin' it!
Kacchan, who loves that sort of sportsman's
spirit, will end up enthralled.

307
00:16:35,326 --> 00:16:39,372
I acknowledge you
Then once you draw out Narumiya's
true feelings, it's in the bag.

308
00:16:39,414 --> 00:16:41,374
You think it'll work?

309
00:16:41,374 --> 00:16:43,376
It's a simple plan. Don't worry.

310
00:16:43,376 --> 00:16:46,379
- Let's go practice tomorrow
- Whatever
- Merha! I'll get there first!
- Just got to school
Looks like Kacchan will be here soon.

311
00:16:49,340 --> 00:16:50,383
Seiya? But why...

312
00:16:50,383 --> 00:16:51,384
Uh-oh...

313
00:16:51,384 --> 00:16:53,344
What are you doing?

314
00:16:54,345 --> 00:16:55,388
What are you guys doing here?

315
00:16:55,388 --> 00:16:59,392
We noticed that the dojo was getting
cleaned early every morning.

316
00:16:59,392 --> 00:17:02,312
The shrine plants were getting watered, too.

317
00:17:02,312 --> 00:17:03,396
We wanted to come see who's behind it.

318
00:17:03,396 --> 00:17:06,316
What's with all of you?
What are you doing here?

319
00:17:07,317 --> 00:17:08,401
So it was you, Minato?

320
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:12,322
The one cleaning the dojo every morning...

321
00:17:12,322 --> 00:17:12,405
Seiya?

322
00:17:13,323 --> 00:17:15,366
I saw the key was getting
signed out every morning,

323
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:17,368
so I got curious and came to see.

324
00:17:18,369 --> 00:17:20,330
Is this a way to fight your target panic?

325
00:17:20,330 --> 00:17:21,289
Yeah.

326
00:17:21,331 --> 00:17:22,373
Hey, Minato.

327
00:17:23,374 --> 00:17:25,293
Why did you come back?

328
00:17:27,378 --> 00:17:30,298
I think I have a right to know.

329
00:17:30,340 --> 00:17:32,383
I think I told you...

330
00:17:33,301 --> 00:17:36,346
about the tsurune, the reason
why I started doing archery.

331
00:17:36,387 --> 00:17:39,390
But when I developed target panic
and couldn't fire properly anymore,

332
00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:42,352
the tsurune became a curse.

333
00:17:42,352 --> 00:17:44,312
I started wanting to escape.

334
00:17:44,354 --> 00:17:46,314
I actually did run away...

335
00:17:46,356 --> 00:17:48,358
But in the end, I couldn't run far enough.

336
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,361
That's when I found it again.

337
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,365
A tsurune that pierced my heart
even more than that first time.

338
00:17:57,325 --> 00:17:58,368
And it made me realize...

339
00:18:01,371 --> 00:18:05,333
I love archery so much, it hurts.

340
00:18:06,376 --> 00:18:10,380
So I decided to cast away everything,
including my pride, all so I could return

341
00:18:11,297 --> 00:18:12,298
to this place.

342
00:18:15,385 --> 00:18:18,388
If just you'd said that to Onogi,
you wouldn't have had to fight.

343
00:18:19,347 --> 00:18:21,349
You think it's that easy, huh?

344
00:18:21,349 --> 00:18:23,393
I thought you cast away your pride.

345
00:18:25,311 --> 00:18:26,354
Welcome back, Minato.

346
00:18:28,314 --> 00:18:29,357
Thanks, Seiya.

347
00:18:30,358 --> 00:18:31,359
What the heck?

348
00:18:31,401 --> 00:18:33,361
Yeah, this was pretty cheesy.

349
00:18:35,363 --> 00:18:36,406
Onogi, wait up!

350
00:18:38,324 --> 00:18:41,327
What'd you call me here for?
To hear his story?

351
00:18:43,329 --> 00:18:44,330
More or less.

352
00:18:44,330 --> 00:18:46,374
Because you won't just be honest.

353
00:18:46,374 --> 00:18:48,334
We thought you might need an excuse.

354
00:18:49,335 --> 00:18:50,378
Um...

355
00:18:56,384 --> 00:18:57,343
Onogi!

356
00:18:58,344 --> 00:19:01,389
Look, I've been learning
about target panic.

357
00:19:01,389 --> 00:19:04,350
And how hard it is for
archers experiencing it.

358
00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:06,394
It made me realize how much
Minato's been suffering.

359
00:19:07,353 --> 00:19:11,357
When we dragged him out to do
a club demonstration anyway...

360
00:19:12,316 --> 00:19:14,402
How nervous must he have
been during that draw...

361
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:17,321
How hopeless must he have felt...

362
00:19:18,322 --> 00:19:20,324
But Minato conquered that
and came back to the club.

363
00:19:21,325 --> 00:19:23,286
So I believe in him.

364
00:19:23,369 --> 00:19:25,329
I know someday he'll conquer his panic

365
00:19:25,371 --> 00:19:28,332
and show us some amazing archery!

366
00:19:31,377 --> 00:19:36,340
Kacchan, if you're ever gonna be honest,
this might be your best chance.

367
00:19:38,342 --> 00:19:42,305
I still can't believe in Narumiya.

368
00:19:44,348 --> 00:19:45,391
But Ryohei...

369
00:19:46,350 --> 00:19:50,313
Seeing you that desperate for
a teammate, I can believe in you.

370
00:19:52,315 --> 00:19:55,401
If someone like you believes
in Narumiya... fine.

371
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:59,363
I'll acknowledge Narumiya, for now.

372
00:20:00,364 --> 00:20:03,326
But only for now.

373
00:20:03,367 --> 00:20:06,329
Listen up. The second I see
you firing half-a**ed shots,

374
00:20:06,329 --> 00:20:08,372
I'm kicking your a** straight outta here!

375
00:20:08,372 --> 00:20:11,334
I swear, you'll never see that.

376
00:20:11,417 --> 00:20:14,337
It is what it is, then. Do whatever.

377
00:20:18,341 --> 00:20:20,343
Aw, Kacchan, you tsundere!

378
00:20:20,343 --> 00:20:21,385
Shut it, Nao!

379
00:20:22,303 --> 00:20:26,307
I thought you weren't going to interfere.

380
00:20:26,349 --> 00:20:29,310
I ended up feeling too strongly for that.

381
00:20:29,310 --> 00:20:31,354
Deep down, I suppose I'm quite nosy.

382
00:20:31,395 --> 00:20:34,315
Well, that's part of friendship, too.

383
00:20:34,315 --> 00:20:37,360
Just as long as those heavy
rains harden the ground below.

384
00:20:37,401 --> 00:20:40,321
It's still not the strongest
foundation, though.

385
00:20:40,321 --> 00:20:43,366
Taking that first step is enough.

386
00:20:43,366 --> 00:20:45,368
That's what everything starts from.

387
00:20:46,327 --> 00:20:49,372
Now we can participate in the
group tournament with no regrets!

388
00:20:49,372 --> 00:20:50,373
I know!

389
00:20:50,373 --> 00:20:52,375
What's the strongest school out there?

390
00:20:52,375 --> 00:20:55,336
Kirisaki, I'd say. They're pretty good.

391
00:20:55,336 --> 00:20:56,379
They're as strong a school as you can get.

392
00:20:56,379 --> 00:20:58,339
Then let's take Kirisaki down!

393
00:20:58,381 --> 00:20:59,382
Right...

394
00:20:59,382 --> 00:21:00,383
Sure...

395
00:21:00,383 --> 00:21:03,344
Nakazaki Archery Supplies
Thank you so much!

396
00:21:03,344 --> 00:21:05,346
Don't forget our deal, okay?

397
00:21:05,346 --> 00:21:07,390
Okay! I'll keep patronizing your store!

398
00:21:07,390 --> 00:21:09,350
Huh? Aren't you...

399
00:21:10,351 --> 00:21:12,311
Hey, the guy from the library!

400
00:21:12,311 --> 00:21:14,313
Thanks for your help back then.

401
00:21:14,313 --> 00:21:17,358
Well, I don't think I did anything
particularly noteworthy...

402
00:21:18,317 --> 00:21:19,402
That uniform. Are you...

403
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:22,363
Kazemai High School?

404
00:21:22,363 --> 00:21:25,366
Kirisaki High School
Did they even have a kyudo club?

405
00:21:25,366 --> 00:21:27,368
It apparently just formed this year.

406
00:21:27,368 --> 00:21:29,370
No need to worry, is there?

407
00:21:29,370 --> 00:21:31,372
We're the famous Kirisaki High.

408
00:21:31,372 --> 00:21:34,333
No need for us to worry about
some bunch of newbies.

409
00:21:34,333 --> 00:21:35,376
That's right.

410
00:21:36,335 --> 00:21:39,338
And we have him this year.

411
00:21:42,341 --> 00:21:43,342
Yes!

412
00:21:45,302 --> 00:21:48,389
All right, we're officially
in the group tournament.

413
00:21:48,389 --> 00:21:52,351
This is when I'd want to give your training
even more of a shot in the arm...

414
00:21:53,310 --> 00:21:57,398
But as you know, I can't draw
a bow due to back problems.

415
00:21:57,398 --> 00:22:07,324
Thus, I've gotten our
school its very own coach.
Starting Position
Come on in!

416
00:22:15,332 --> 00:22:16,375
Masa-san?!

417
00:23:54,390 --> 00:24:00,312
Next Time
