Last Hold! (2018) - full transcript

Translation and subtitles by nassi (aka puustina)

Enjoy the movie!

Bouldering is the same as life

You face a wall and climb it

and after you climb it

a new wall will appear!

Well?

Makes you want to try it, right?

Rather… Why didn't you get someone to shoot that video for you?

That's not important. So, how about it?!

Let's do our best together!



Well…

Maybe not this time

Damn!

(2 weeks earlier)

Looks like the bone shouldn't be a problem

Then that means…

You can resume your activities

Great!

Take it easy though

Even though it has healed, the fact that you broke it remains

Thank you

All right

Out of the way

What..?



The school wont officially recognize you as a club

unless you have at least 7 members

How could I have known about that?

Please don't just tear down the bouldering club walls like that

As you are the sole member

it can't even be called a club in the first place

7 people, was it?

7 people…

I just have to gather seven people, right?

That's right

I will definitely gather them

Hey, you! How about bouldering?

No thanks

What about you? It's fun!

I'm already busy so…

No thanks

Damn!

Come check us out

We're the bouldering club

Excuse me

Come join us

You too

You can do it on the side too

Bouldering is a lot of fun

Bouldering, join us

And you too

Bouldering? I kinda wanna try it

But isn't it a bit scary how desperate he is?

It's fun

You're right. Creepy!

Huh? Am I doing this the wrong way?

If pushing doesn't work, pull

Aren't those the rules of love

Someone came

Prey really came

I want to speak up

but I'll endure it

This…

It's here!

Yes?

Is this like climbing mountains?

Excuse me?

If I join you, I can scale mountains?

Mountains?

Of course!

We climb mountainlike rocks in practice too!

For real?

Growing up surrounded by mountains

all these big city high-rise buildings are suffocating me

Well, it's a bit different but…

I guess it's fine

Excuse me…

Aren't you gonna advertise?

My current tactic is to just wait

Even if you wait no one will come

Is it okay if I try luring people in?

Go for it. I'm not sure if it's the best way to handle this though

Come check us out! We're the bouldering club!

Bouldering?!

See, what did I tell you?

I hate bouldering!

What's your problem?

What is it? Calm down!

Scary…

The city is scary

Well, Akemi…

Akemi?

Some asshole who did bouldering took her away from me

Oh, your girlfriend

Yeah

It was this guy called Sakuraba

You aren't Sakuraba, are you?!

I'm Okajima and this here is Arai

My dear Akemi, taken away by a climber…

That's it then?

What is this guy doing

now it looks like he's trying to start a fight instead

All you need to do is make her reconsider

The only thing that Sakuraba has that you lack

is the fact that he does bouldering and you don't, right?

What the hell is this guy saying

That's exactly right

And this guy too!

Let's do it

bouldering

Yeah

They both are a real pain

Thanks for the meal

Thanks for the meal

Was it tasty?

Yup

Good

Time for one last thing then

A protein shake

If you're going to do bouldering, you have to take care of your body

That protein powder…

Is that Iron Sports' vanilla flavored whey?

A troublesome guy showed up

This one's also bad news

Excuse me

This isn't half bad

You can tell?

Yeah, I can

Sorry, I'm going to say something rude

Your muscles…

They are just for show, right?

What is this guy saying?

Those are not muscles that you actually put to use

You don't really use them too much

How were you able to figure that out?

Oh, so he was right

I can tell

I'm actually a drummer

I'm not in a band right now though so I don't get much exercise

That's a waste

Since you already have these muscles

why not use them for something a bit more practical?

What do you mean?

Bouldering

Bouldering?

I see

Sounds like it could work

So this guy is okay with not being in a band then, eh

Oh, right

This is indeed a vanilla whey protein powder

Is that right

It really has to be this, right?

Nevertheless, you really have nice muscles don't you

Thank you

Are you a new student at the Department of Philosophy?

Yeah

Great

My name's Kuwamoto

Also in the philosophy department

I'm Kawaguchi

Have you already decided on a club to join?

Wanna check them out together?

Sure

3 more people

This is bad

I'm running out of time

I want to start practicing right now

But we can't use the club walls yet, can we?

We'll make one

You can make something like this?

Yeah. There are lots of people making their own walls

Is that so

That red one, wouldn't it be better to put it here?

Isn't it out of reach if you put it there?

You can reach it if you jump

What about this big green one then?

That one…

I'm putting this one here

Don't just put it wherever

Well, for now…

What about putting these two together?

Excuse me

What game are you playing?

Huh?

Alright!

You really have a good eye for this

Not at all

Let's climb then!

Good

Hold it down

Like this and then…

Good good

Feels good

Get out of the way, it's dangerous

Watch out

I told you to get out of the way

We can't use this to practice every day, can we?

Yeah, it's too dangerous after all

That's because you weren't holding it properly

Still, it's impossible

whether or not I'm holding it

But we still need 2 more people

If we can get 2 more people to join…

Hey, let's join the dance club together

They said it's also beneficial for finding a job

I wonder if that really is the case

For sure. Besides, it's fun

It really is fun

What does it have to do with finding a job

Hey, you…

You're Kawaguchi, right?

Long time no see

Have you decided on a club yet?

The bouldering club is currently searching for members

Come climb with us

Someone you know?

Yeah. He has experience

We used to participate in the same competitions in the past

He's really good too

Then…

Sorry

I will not join

Why not? Let's do it!

Please, join the club, you two

Me too?

If you do not join, then

I won't have a chance to get Akemi back

I don't really get what you're saying

but I'm not joining

What's that?

People who do bouldering really are trash, aren't they

After begging you to join like this, you should just do it

You have experience after all, right?

Yeah

Trying too hard there

Okay

Let's have a match then

If you win I won't bother you anymore

If we win, you'll have to join us

Alright

That goes for you too

Whaaat?

That's how it's done!

Well done Momota

This is a scam

Anyone would think that it was going to be a bouldering match

Why are you calling it a scam?

I clearly said bowling, not bouldering

See?

Okay

Have a match with me

If you win at bowling I wont bother you anymore

Right?

Shit

Now that it has come to this all we can do is win, Kawaguchi

I'll have you two joining the club then

Really, me too?

You can join the dance club on the side too

Oh

Okajima

What is it?

You really do not remember, do you?

I…

It's a promise then

With this we have 7 members

Yeah

Now we can restart the bouldering club

Let's aim for victory at the Inter University competition

Yeah!

The rules of bouldering are simple

For example on this route

you start here and use these purple holds

to climb the wall

Clearing the route requires you to grab the marked hold with both hands

That's the top

Let's do this!

There are many different types of holds

This is a jug

Incut and pinch

Sloper

Pocket

You grab each of these in their own special way

Well then…

Kuwamoto!

Try climbing this route

Looks simple enough

Like this?

Alright

Not like this, huh?

Pay attention to how you grab the hold to your left

Almost there

I can do this

Do it!

Alright

Like so

Then

Try this route next

That looks easy enough too

Okay

Alright

That was more difficult than I expected

You did it in the wrong order

Once you grab the hold with your left hand…

See?

The rest is easy

This is called reading a route

Momota

try climbing it using this method

Isn't it too easy once you know the trick?

Good luck

Like that

Huh?

What should we do with guys

who know how to do it and still fall?

Basic training it is

Walk alongside the wall without using your hands, huh?

I wonder if this will really help us

Besides, this is really embarassing

It's unfair that Okajima is the only one not doing this

So tired

Next you'll be working on your arms

90 degree pull-ups, typewriter pull-ups

and lastly finger pull-ups, 10 repetitions each

But where..?

You're fine with not training Okajima?

Yes, because I already know the basics

Alright

Look

When you're able to do this, you'll be able to climb and have fun

Later

So tired

Where's Okajima?

He left already

What the hell, I thought he was going to treat us food or something

It's somewhat surprising how much Okajima likes being alone

Yeah, considering what he's usually like

Now that you mention it, Kawaguchi, you used to compete with Okajima?

Yeah

Back in middle school we used to go to competitions together

Okajima sure must be strong

I'll be going then

Wanna go grab something to eat?

I'll pass, I have to go to the dance club after all

Oh, okay

I'll be going to a game center on the way home

Come in

What's this about?

In competition finals

you're not allowed to see the routes beforehand

Where do the competitors wait until then?

They'll be locked away in a different room

waiting anxiously to see the wall

You can look now

This is it

If you want to become a strong climber

upon seeing the route

you should immediately be able to imagine how to climb it

If you can't imagine the route, you will lose

Well then, Nakamichi

Imagine how to climb this route and try it

Okay

Do your best

Don't worry

You should've used more chalk

I hate dirtying my hands

This hurts

Is there really a point to all this?

Akemi!

Akemi!

I will not lose

This might actually be useful

These are the individual competition entry forms

fill them out

Should we be participating in this?

You don't feel like doing it?

I'm fine either way

Then it's better to participate

Bouldering is ultimately an individual thing

Although there is the autumn team competition

the greatest thing about bouldering is challenging yourself

Individual competitions

Uh huh

No choice but to try it out ourselves then

Yeah

All of us here are rivals

I'll beat that bouldering asshole

I'll be going then

Thanks for today

I'll also be going

You don't need to go to band practice?

Nope, since I don't currently have one

Do you want to quit?

I'm fine

I'm alright

You obviously aren't alright

If you used your feet…

I know, I know

You don't have to force yourself - I know

Do you really - Yeah I know

Seniors!

Okajima!

What a coincidence!

I thought you might be here and came to take a look

Why would you think that?

After joining the workforce, I thought you would be coming here to let out some stress

You're right. Being a working adult is tough

That's right!

It's been so tough I even gained a lot of weight and became fat

So, the injury?

Yes

It has healed perfectly

The shoulder is even better now than before!

Is that really so?

Yeah

and this Sunday I'll be participating in my last individual competition

would you like to come and cheer for me?

So it's already the season for the individual competitions, huh

Of course I'll come

Me too

Thank you

You look like you're raring to go already

Of course - It's good that you're back on track again

Good luck

Thank you

Those guys look strong

It seems the last year winners were also from that university

Kawaguchi

Kawaguchi…

You mean THAT Kawaguchi?

I thought he quit

Yeah

I will now be explaining the rules

Try to climb these 4 routes during the next 60 minutes

You can climb in any order you'd like

Each route can be tried a total of 5 times

Those with the most routes topped will advance to the finals

If two competitors are tied

the one with fewer tries wins

Let's do this!

Come on! Come on

Damn

If you aren't able to climb to the top you could at least keep the holds clean

Good luck!

Even if you knew how to, you'll never reach the top with a body like that

Looks like Okajima and Kawaguchi will be able to pass the preliminaries

Yeah

But it's not like they both haven't made some mistakes

they'll have to do much better in the finals

Yeah

Those qualifying for the finals should enter the isolation room

So this is the rumored isolation

They really are strict about it, aren't they

The time limit in the finals is 4 minutes

The one who makes it to the top with the fewest tries wins

Hell yeah!

Yeah!

Competitor 26, Kawaguchi, it's your turn

Okajima

I'll be going then

Yeah, good luck

Do your best Kawaguchi

Good luck, relax!

Expulsion?

Not being fair?

Suspected of cheating?

You're still climbing, huh

You sure he isn't going to do it this time?

I heard he cheated

He suddenly seemed to lose his focus there

Well, he's still young after all

Next up is Okajima

To win

he can try it up to three times, huh

Good luck Okajima!

Okajima! Good luck!

Ah, yes

Good luck Okajima!

Good luck

That's a shame

Okajima, do your best!

Okajima…

Good luck Okajima!

Why isn't he trying something different for the jump

just try it with both hands!

It's true that he could ease the burden on his right hand by also using his left hand

but this way it will be easier to get a hold of the next hold after that

He should first focus on what's right in front of him!

This is your last chance Okajima!

Come on! You can do it

Tried

Tried

If you intend to come back and be half-assed about this

I will not forgive you!

It's not that

Then why did you fall?

It's just due to lack of strength

You of all people should know better

than to try and deceive me

Thank you for your hard work

Thanks

Cheers

Cheers

I couldn't climb anything anymore

Nakamichi, eat your beans

Eat lots

Let's just eat

I'm good

Listen to me everyone

I'll be retiring from the club after today

Aren't you going to be participating in the team competition?

That's right

The teams are made up of six people

you guys should go

Is this okay?

What do you mean?

Quitting after having lost

Yeah

No matter if I won or lost

I decided I would start looking for a job after the individual competitions were over

Oh, is that so

Looking for work huh…

Sorry for ruining the mood

But I still intend to give you my full support

and show up during practice every once in a while

I'll keep watching over you until the end

The next captain

will be Arai

Me?!

Why?

He was the first to join

Today's finals…

I know what you want to say

I also heard it from my seniors

Why didn't I try using both of my hands?

That's right

Before the injury

I would've definitely been able to do that with just my right hand

I didn't even see using both hands as an option there

Even if I had caught it with both hands

it would have felt like losing to my former self

Is that so?

I did end up losing though

I slipped and ended up looking lame

In life, there are no walls that you can't overcome

hard walls are there to tell you

to try just a bit harder

Shut up. No one here is talking about quitting

What's up with the sudden captainlike speech?

Leave comparing bouldering and life to Okajima

Okay!

Starting today we'll continue practicing for the team competition

Excuse me…

What?

Well…

Back when we were at the individual competition

I realized that even with lazy practice like this

we wont catch up to Shoryu University

What's with you…

Here I'm trying to cheer you up and you go ahead and say something like that

I actually thought so too

The gap is too big

I think so too

That's why we need to practice hard..!

I think everyone should focus on the things they are good at instead

What do you mean?

I see

In the team competition not everyone climbs every route

Power type, slab type, special type

There will be different kinds of routes

So making sure that everyone can finish the types of routes

they are already good at would be better

Is that what you mean?

Indeed

But what kind of routes are we good at?

I have no idea

Me neither

Bouldering is the same as life

Oh!

The things you usually do

might reveal the routes you're good at

Favorite things…

I wonder what mine is?

I like dancing!

Kawaguchi

Yes

Look

I got my hair dyed

Okay…

Amazing

How much money did you waste on these?

These things are what I live for

spending that money on anything else would've been pointless

You're doing it wrong

Imagine what's going to happen next

Don't just look at what's right in front of you

instead consider the next few steps in advance

I myself am always thinking five or six moves ahead

Look at the upper and lower part of the body separately

Don't they look like completely different organisms?

This is an imitation of a swan

Even when it's desperately treading water under the surface

above the surface it looks elegant

Let's start with simple moves

Follow my movements and try to keep up

Right

Is that supposed to be simple?

That isn't simple at all

Just imitate him

Right, left

Yeah! Right

I'm doing it!

Good going Arai!

Yeah, you're really good

What? This is where you work part time?

That's right

For men it really has to be soba noodles, right?

Alright, listen

The trick is to use your entire body

and lift

Sorry for making you wait

Looks good!

Sorry for making you wait!

Monkeys and orangutans…

How are they able to just keep clinging onto a tree?

That's because they aren't using unnecessary muscles!

They latch on with their fingertips

stretch as far as possible and relax their body

This is the trick!

More importantly, why are you so knowledgeable about monkeys?

We used to see them often back at my home in the mountain

Orangutans… - Where was his home again?

Beats me

Besides…

Did he get rid of his accent?

Yeah

He also seems to have started using contact lenses

Orangutans are the ultimate climbers. In bouldering too…

Give it your all

Using both your hands and feet

Softly and smoothly

Cool!

I used to want to be a pro after all

Why did you give it up?

It was the usual thing. I had a different concept of what music was

simply put, I wasn't able to see eye to eye with people

Give it a try

Sure

Of course I can't do it straight away!

Momota and Kuwamoto have a good sense of balance

they'll be in charge of the slab routes

Sure

Arai and Takaido have lots of strength

they'll be responsible for overhanging walls

Okay

Nakamichi

you're best at reading the routes

so you'll be in charge of the special routes

Understood

And Kawaguchi

you'll be climbing whatever they decide to throw at you

Understood

That aside, Okajima…

Hm?

When will you be taking us up to the mountains?

Huh?

When you were recruiting club members

you said we would be practicing at actual mountains

Ah, rather than mountains I was talking about boulders

As a last minute effort

let's go to the mountains!

Let's! - Sounds good!

Despite there being such nice nature around us

Okajima still couldn't come

Well, isn't that to be expected since he's looking for a job?

Despite having retired from the club

he still finds the time to practice with us

That's a nice river over there!

Wow, it's beautiful

Something like this should be fine right?

Come on! Nice!

Can you stretch out your right hand?

Be careful

Nice

Foot foot foot

Oh, you were here too?

Well if it isn't our friends from Shoryu University

Don't make a scene at the boulders

What's your problem? You really know how to spoil the mood

Are you participating in the team competition?

Yeah, of course

Kawaguchi

I didn't get a change to talk to you at the individual competition

I'm Sakuraba. We used to go to the same gym in middle school

Do you remember me?

Yeah…

Sakuraba?

Sakuraba…

If our teacher Oshima hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have realized it was you

I didn't expect you to come back after all

What do you mean?

If you have something to say, just say it

Don't cheat anymore

Always clinging to the past

I'm sick of that, Sakuraba!

Sakuraba? You're that bouldering bastard who took Akemi away from me!

Aren't you also a bouldering bastard?

Stop that you two

Step back

this has nothing to do with you

Stop

It hurts!

Kuwamoto! Are you okay?

Kuwamoto, you okay?

Where does it hurt?

Hey Kuwamoto

try not to move

Let's call an ambulance

I'm sorry

Because I got angry…

No, it's also our fault for not stopping you

What are you guys doing?

The future of the club is on your shoulders

What are you doing?

It was you guys, right?

Yes?

We're very sorry

I've heard most of it from Sakuraba already

it seems there was some fault also on our side. My apologies

Sorry

You…

How's the injury?

I should be able to do something about it before the competition

Let me see

You can't go out there like that!

If he wants to go, you should let him

Having someone who is hurt participate…

As an instructor, I just can't allow something like that

I don't know what your intentions currently are when it comes to climbing

but if you really want to turn a new page

when you come face to face while bouldering

make sure things like this don't happen

Only being a burden on those

who are serious about the sport

is something I will never forgive

What's his problem?

Hey, what was all that about?

As long as I'm here, I'll just keep causing you trouble

Why?

Sorry

I'm quitting too

Eh?

No, no, wait a second

What happened?

You really don't remember?

What happened in the past

I had passed the preliminaries

and the finals were coming up the next day

Remember to cool down at home and prepare for tomorrow

Yes

Thank you for your hard work - Thank you

One more step

Yes

Is it okay if I go to the toilet real quick?

Sure

Thank you for your hard work - You too, both of you

(No entry without permission)

As if beckoned, I entered the room

Then, without hesitation

I flipped over the whiteboard

It was immediately clear that these weren't the preliminary routes I climbed earlier

My desire to win was stronger than any guilt I felt

You sure took your time

Let's go

Good luck

Oshima, always having been there to look after me

immediately noticed something strange in the way I climbed

And then, at the hardest part…

The shape of the hold, the distance

they were exactly the way I had imagined them

When it comes to bouldering

there's no bigger advantage than knowing the course beforehand

Due to having been found guilty of breaking the rules

Kawaguchi has been disqualified

Third place, Okajima

Second place…

That stuff is in the past right?

It doesn't matter anymore

If I were to show up at the competition

and things got out of hand again, it would be troublesome for all of you

Once a person is labeled

getting rid of that label is difficult

Well, this time fight fair and square

and have them take that label back

Even if we were to win they'd just think I cheated again

If you quit, this club will be finished too

Does it really matter whether it's awkward or not?

You should think of the teammates who are fighting with you

the opponents don't matter

You just need to overcame the wall in front of you

That's all there is to it

Face that wall and be true to yourself

What about you, Okajima? Were you able to do that?

In the competition earlier

were you able to face that wall and be true to yourself?

I ended up saying something like that

because I know what Okajima used to be like

I don't know why you were disqualified

but that was some awesome climbing

Please teach me the move you used in the finals

I want to master it

I want to win next time

Sure

It's a promise

In a situation where no one wanted to get close to me

with the intent of trying to get better

he came and talked to me

To me, who only cared about appearances

it felt as if this was someone I would never be able to win

I want to participate in the competition

My band just disbanded

I don't want us to also disband

Doing things alone just isn't fun

I also want to participate

I want to win

I went ahead and bought these

They're matching outfits for us

Well… You know…

It's just that I didn't want to get chalk on my clothes

Where did you get the money?

I sold my games

I also want to go

I read the competition rules again

and while the six person requirement is absolute

even if I can't climb I can still be a member of the team

Simply put, a loss by default

You can do something like that?

Yeah. So we just need one more

Okay

Let's go recruit someone then

Let's go

What about you Okajima? Were you able to face that wall and be true to yourself?

Are you a new student at the Department of Philosophy?

Why are we doing this again?

Great! My name's Kuwamoto

Also in the philosophy department

Have you already decided on a club to join?

I quit the dance club

You did?

Yeah

Why?

To be able to concentrate on bouldering

and to focus on the team competition

I probably wont be able to climb due to the injury

so I at least want to do my best to support the team

Everyone is giving it their best shot

I want to see them win

Let's do this together, Kawaguchi

You've finished eating, right?

Time to drink!

Cheers

Cheers - Cheers

OK

These are our matching outfits

I want you to also wear one

But I was the one who bought them…

Try it out

I think it would look good on you

Yeah!

Hello there

Sorry for bothering you Okajima

do you have time to talk?

Sure

For making you worry earlier because of our negligence…

I am sorry

We are so sorry

Oh, you were all there

Okajima

I said some arrogant things

sorry about that

Kawaguchi

Rather than what you said to me, what I said to you…

Okajima!

We will be participating in the team competition!

Oh, really?

I wont be climbing though

but I want us to still win

So after thinking this through we had an idea

Would you like to come as Kuwamoto's replacement?

Eh?

Actually, we already submitted the registration form

Doing something like that on your own…

The competition is in 3 days at 11:00

That's the day of my final job interview

Sorry, they just contacted me earlier

Oh, is that so. Can't help it then

Sorry

Well then Okajima…

Hm?

good luck with job hunting!

Too loud you guys

I'm hanging up

Okay, bye

Let's win

Mr. Matsumoto?

Yes

Thank you for having me

Please come in Mr. Inaguchi

Ok

Thanks for having me

Good luck Okajima

Okajima, good luck!

You can do it!

Okajima, you can do it

Good luck

Mr. Okajima?

Yes

When you consider your time as a student

what were the biggest hurdles you faced

and how did you manage to overcome them?

Yes…

The biggest hurdle was getting injured while bouldering

This sport known as bouldering is something I've been doing since childhood

in my sophomore year I placed second in the Inter University competition

I was sure I would win the next year

but I ended up injuring myself

and wasted the whole year

And in my last competition

I ended up failing

But…

Upon trying a similar route later on

I was able to climb it

I see

Why do you think that is?

I was able to do it

because of my friends

Having gone through rehabilitation all alone

I had stubbornly started to believe

that I had to overcome my past self

but…

while practicing with my friends

I started to see what was around me

and realized how I should climb

And that isn't all

I had forgotten that

having fun is what really matters

I started because I was having fun

and had forgotten that

But

practicing together with friends

made me truly happy

and able to face the wall without pretending

I am sorry

I…

Will be going after all!

Hey, you, wait

Registration will be closing soon

We are the Toridezaka University team

Understood

Mr. Kawaguchi Ryoji?

Yes

Mr. Arai Musashi?

Yes - Okay

Mr. Momota Wakaru?

Yeah - Ok

Mr. Takaido Jinta?

I am

Nakami… - I'll be joining!

I want to join

Okajima! It has already started… And you're drenched

Please

Besides, when did you become blonde again?

Oh, the color probably washed away in the rain

Crap, we don't have an outfit for Okajima

Right… You, give him your shirt, hurry

We have one for Okajima too

Oh, well done

But I was the one who bought them…

Sure

Ok, listen to me

let's aim for victory

Yeah!

Momota

Akemi

So you were also doing bouldering, huh

Yeah

Feels like you've become more attractive lately

Sorry, I need to concentrate on the match

I'll be going

Eh?

In men's team competition, the teams consist of six people

No preliminaries will take place

and winners will be decided directly

I will now be explaining the rules

Each team of six people

will have one person climbing each route

The time limit for each route is 4 minutes

The team with most routes climbed wins

If two teams are tied the winner is the team with the least number of tries

Participants are allowed to give each other hints

Good luck

You did it!

Yeah!

The first five Shoryu University members

have finished their routes perfectly

None of them have fallen even once

What if they clear the last one perfectly too?

Then the others will have no choice but to

complete all six routes without any mistakes

That would be pretty tough, wouldn't it

Come on! Good luck!

You can do it

Come on!

Take it easy

Good going

Come on!

This was their first mistake!

Come on!

Yeah!

Well done

Yeah

As expected, he was able to adapt

That means our guys can't make more than one mistake

That's really tough

Let's go!

Yeah!

Good luck!

Good luck Momota!

Come on

The first to climb is under a lot of pressure

so why did you pick Momota?

The first reason was his guts

also his focus was spot on today

He is the most calm out of all of us

Come on!

Good luck Momota!

Do your best

Come on

You can do it Momota

Do it!

Lastly, he has the sense of balance required for this route

Hell yeah!

Well done

You can do it!

Relax

Come on!

Nice

You got this

No footholds there

Figure 4!

Well done

You can do it

Yeah!

Go for it

Yeah!!

Go for it!

Nakamichi

Good luck

What's happening?

He's studying the route

But shouldn't he actually start climbing it?

That's very much like him

since he knows he can't rely on his strength

he intends to finish it in one go

Good luck!

You can do it!

Go for it Nakamichi

Good luck

He ended up being the one with most chalk on him

Do it

Nice!

Yeah!

Hell yeah!

Nice one

If the next guy doesn't make any mistakes

that only leaves Okajima and Kawaguchi…

So it's all or nothing, huh

Come on

Good luck Arai!

You can do it

Do your best Arai

Well done

You got this

Do it

Go for it

Good luck!

In life, there are no walls that you can't overcome

hard walls are there to tell you

to try just a bit harder

You can do this

Start with your foot

Well done

Nice

Good luck

You can do it

Good job

Whew

Nice!

No mistakes so far

If you notice anything, please tell me

This time I want to win

Ok

Please teach me the move you used in the finals

I want to master it

I want to win next time

Okajima! Good luck!

Good luck

Okajima has changed, hasn't he

Yeah

Overcome yourself

Well done!

Okajima!

Come on, come on, come on!

Hell yeah!

Yeah!!

Nice

He really has grown since the individual competitions

Good one

Yeah

Hell yeah

Nice

If Kawaguchi manages to finish without mistakes, they will win

Looking good

Good luck Kawaguchi

Surpass yourself

Good luck!

You can do it Kawaguchi

Go! Do it!

Go for it Kawaguchi

The same mistake that Shoryu University made earlier!

Still, that was their first mistake

if he finishes on his next try, they will be even

But if he falls they lose

The next climb will decide the match

Kawaguchi

If you tried using two holds instead of one

don't you think you could make it?

Sorry

Let me try it again

Go do it your way!

You can do it, Kawaguchi!

Good luck

Do it, Kawaguchi

I can't erase the fact that I cheated

so my only option is to face my past

and overcome it

Go for it, Kawaguchi!

Decide the match!

Kawaguchi, grab it

The last hold!

Uh…

Kawaguchi

Go for it!

Good luck Kawaguchi

Come on!

Go, Kawaguchi!

You can do it!

Good luck

Yeah!

Go! Go!

You got this!

Yeah!

That was good

Good job, well done!

Sorry

What nonsense are you spouting

That ending was the best

You managed to grab it really well there

We are the best, aren't we

Looks like we have a goal for next year, thanks to a certain someone

Thank you for your hard work

Thank you

Oh, Okajima

We can take your hold down now, right?

What?

Well aren't you ruthless

Hm?

Hello, it's Okajima

Yes. Yes

Huh? Thank you very much!

Goodbye

What was that?

It was the final interview I went to before

I got a tentative offer

Eh?

The one where you left halfway?

Yeah, the one I left to attend the match

That's one hell of a company

Congratulations!

What did you talk about in the interview?

I'm not telling you that

Why not? Now I really want to know

What?!

What is it this time?

Did they take their offer back after all?

Sports climbing is going to be an official event at the Tokyo Olympics

Eh?

It's true!

Now we really have to win the Inter University competition next year

Yeah

What about you Okajima..?

Will you be joining the workforce after all?

There's no way I could do that!

Last Hold!
