Suzuka (2005–2006): Season 1, Episode 11 - Shôbu - full transcript

Your profile looking up
towards the blue sky

The stopped spiral of time

I'm always stubborn
and hiding my feelings

I ache for you so much
(I pine for you so much) that it hurts

I'm not actually that strong

In truth, I become afraid
about the distance between us two

I want you to touch my heart

If I can still reach the goal
taking the long way around

Start line

A story that unravels the heart

I'll say goodbye to tears
and walk towards the future



Because I can go with the kindness
I found clasped to my heart

Please, just for now,
stay the way you are

Hey, look alive, Yasunobu!

Why do I have to go with you
this early in the morning?!

Plus it's only the two of us guys.

I'll be depressed if I just
lie around my room all day Sunday!

Then why don't you go to
the track and field competition?

I assume it's today, right?

Why do I have to go to such a place?!

After hearing all those things...

I even got slapped!

Why do I have to go?!

Hey, let's go to that karaoke place!

It's not open yet!



"Inter-high Tokyo Metropolitan Preliminary"

Stop comparing me to someone
who's not even alive!

It's really annoying!

He doesn't know I went
because I worried about him.

He's here!

--Wow!
--Wow!

Hey, over here!

How's your condition today?

Do you think you'll
break your record today?

What's going on over there?

This district has that guy...

"Newspaper" "Sports"
This district has that guy...

"Newspaper" "Sports" Arima
Emerson, a sophomore at a high school

"Newspaper" "Sports"
affiliated with Tohto University.

"Newspaper" "Sports" He's the
number one high school sprinter now.

He's the number one
high school sprinter now.

He was always the runner-up
to Kazuki in Kanagawa prefecture

when he was in junior high.

But after he started high school,
he began to stand out above the others.

That guy...

If Kazuki was alive...
they could have a close race.

If things had worked out, Tsuda Sempai
would be over there, not him!

Maybe so...

That's why we have Akitsuki taking
the place of Kazuki this year.

Why do you bring up Yamato now?

I'm sure he won't come!

He's such an undependable guy!

Why are you so angry with Akitsuki?

And if Tsuda Sempai were alive,

he'd easily beat Arima.
It wouldn't even be close.

If you compared Arima to Tsuda Sempai,

he'd be at a lower level!

Idiot... stop saying that so loud.

I don't care who's listening!

You don't seem to have anywhere to go,
so you want to come with me?

Huh? Where to?

It'll be a surprise.

"Inter-high Tokyo Metropolitan Preliminary"

This is the track and field competition!

You wouldn't have come
if I told you, right?

Of course not!

I don't care about your situation now.

I think There're a lot of girls here.

You should participate in the competition.

You'll be popular with
the girls 'cuz you're so fast.

You're stupid.

I told you already...

There is no reason for me to run anymore.

I see.

Then let's just go and wander around.

Maybe there'll be some cute girls there.

Hey...

Stop...

Hey, let me go home.

--Oh! There's Suzuka.
--Huh?

And look at that
cocky-looking guy approaching her.

Hello.

It's been a while.

W-What do you want?

Oh, scary! You're still the same.

I don't know you!

You were always with Tsuda during
prefecture competition, weren't you?

You guys seemed like close friends.

Maybe you liked him?

Man, this must be painful to watch, huh?

It doesn't matter to me.

If you don't have anything to say,
just leave me alone.

I do have something to say so I'm here.

You said I was at a lower level
compared to Tsuda, didn't you?

That pissed me off!

I'm sorry, then.

Please forget I said that.

I can't accept that kind of an apology.

You're so persistent.

You're angry because that was the truth.

What?

It doesn't matter whether
Tsuda is alive or dead.

I'm number one!

If Tsuda Sempai were alive, you...

Huh?! You're like a broken record.

If Tsuda were alive, if Tsuda were alive...

Listen, your precious
Tsuda Sempai is dead!

And you said I was at a
lower level compared to him!

Give me a break!

Hey, she said Arima is at a lower level...

What? What the heck is she saying?!

Hey, you better stop
saying such stupid things!

Apologize to Arima now!

Apologize in front of everybody!

Then we'll forgive you.

Let's go.

If we go there, we'll be in trouble.

Yeah...

There's no reason for me to go there.

None...

What?

Hey!

Y-Yamato!

What?

Are you going to apologize
for her? Mr. Spiky-Hair?

You don't have to apologize, Asahina.

Huh?

You're also going to say
I'm at a lower level than Tsuda.

It doesn't matter to me
who's better. You or Tsuda.

Huh?

Because the fastest one is... me!

Oh?

Huh?

Do you know... what you're saying?

Besides, who the hell are you?

I do know what I'm saying.

You won't beat me!

Hey, this guy is nuts!

He's a nobody, and he says
he can run faster than Arima!

Hey, Yamato!

This is ridiculous.

I've had enough.

Uh... Hey, wait!

After saying all those things,
you're going to run 100 meters, right?

Show me that you're faster than me.

Hey, what are you thinking?!

You said all those things...

I was pissed off... by his cocky attitude!

Pissed off.

What are you going to do if you lose?!

Do you have any idea?

Then I guess I'll have to apologize to him.

W-Why are you always so foolhardy?!

Think more before you speak!

Don't worry.

All I have to do is win, right?

Well, it'll be all right.

Well, for now, I need to borrow
an outfit and spikes from someone.

Ah... Hey!

And he said he was going
to quit track and field.

Sorry, Honoka. I know you must be busy.

This is one of a manager's duties.

I'm just so glad that you made it.

I was worried about you since you didn't
show up for practice for three days.

Sorry, sorry.

Something happened...

I was scared to go get you,

because I knew if I was too persistent,
you wouldn't like me.

You came after all, Akitsuki!

Anyway, you have a lot of nerve.

Huh?

I heard that you picked a fight with
Tohto University's Arima Emerson, right?

Huh? Why did you do that?

He just pissed me off.

Liar...

Akitsuki is not the type of person
who fights over something like that.

Well, guys like him are usually all talk.

It'll be a piece of cake.

What?

I'm wondering if you picked a fight
without even learning anything about him?

What do you mean?

You know... he's Arima Emerson
from Tohto University.

His best 100-meter time is 10.46 seconds.

At the high school level,
he's the number one sprinter.

That amazing sprinter is here today?!

That's why newspapers
and TV media are here.

So you didn't know about that when you
picked a fight with him, after all.

That guy can run that fast?!

Are you worried about Yamato?

Huh?

You'd better put on another outfit
or you'll catch a cold.

Hattori... I didn't know you came.

Yeah. Seems Yamato's
going to have a showdown,

so I thought I should watch it.

He hasn't got a chance in the world.

The opponent is the
number one high school sprinter.

I can't believe why he said
something so ridiculous.

You're right.

That crazy guy always acts recklessly.

And because of that,
the top high school sprinter

is directing all his anger at Yamato.

This is the last call for the 100 meters.

All participating sprinters
come to the course.

--Let's go. It's about to start.
--But...

Come on! Come on!

Maybe he'll do
something interesting again!

No way!

No. 36, Yamato Akitsuki!

Ah... Here!

Geez, I get you from the start?

When you lose, you'll get
on your knees and apologize to me.

Arima, good luck!

Set a new record!

Oh, there's that guy, Spiky-Hair!

So many spectators!

Hey!

I brought Suzuka here to watch,
so do your best!

A-Asahina.

First group, please step up
to the starting blocks!

We're starting now.

First runners, please line up.

I'll bet Arima slows his pace
just a little in this preliminary.

He doesn't have any
strong opponents, either.

It'll be good to see what
his time will be in the finals.

He's not going to run at top speed at
a sectional-level competition like this.

None of these guys are paying
any attention to Yamato at all.

Well, I guess that's normal.

Akitsuki!

Even if you finish second,

you can still advance to the finals
depending on your time!

Do your best!

Second?

On your mark!

Well... I have to run against the top
high school sprinter in my first preliminary.

Good Luck!

Cool!

So nobody expects me to win...

Get a grip, Yamato!

Asahina...

Don't look at me like that!

Rocket start, huh?

You can't win by copying
a dead guy's style.

I probably can't win
at the level I'm at now.

Get set!

But I can't forgive a guy...

...who made Asahina cry!

Even with a rocket start,
he can't beat him.

This is the number one
high school runner!

Geez, this doesn't look good.

He usually jumps out
to a big lead and wins.

It looks like I'll easily win, even if
I slow my pace at the halfway mark!

Damn it! I won't be
able to catch up to him!

He's right there... I can't lose to him!

Akitsuki is not good enough yet
to compete with him.

Oh, well. I expected he'd do
something unexpected, but...

That Spiky-Hair is
no competition for Arima!

How could he possibly
say that he's the fastest?!

Look... he looks desperate!

Does he really think he'll win?

What are you doing, you idiot!

Whoa...

I know!

Unbelievable! They're side by side now!

He's doing something interesting
after all!

Hey, what are you doing, Arima!

You're taking it too easy!

I'm not taking it easy!

This guy is really fast!

Because of Asahina's boost,
Akitsuki has caught up to him.

I can't believe this guy!

--Go, Akitsuki!
--Pass him! Pass him!

Arima is taking a lead!

I can't lose, especially to this guy!

Especially to him...

Ah, what's going on with me?!

I feel like my legs... won't hold up...

I can't run well...

All right! He finished first!

You scared us, Arima!

Wow! Arima, cool!

He ran at the wrong pace
while trying to catch up to Emerson.

He doesn't have any experience
as a track and field athlete,

and he skipped club practices
for three days. That's why...

What is he doing?!

After all that big talk...

I know, I know.

I'm going to get on my knees
or whatever I have to do...

Yamato!

That's okay.

Huh?

You're so annoying,
so just get out of here... now.

Didn't you hear me?

I said get out of here right now!

Who says you're the number one
high school sprinter!

Huh?

Don't think you can beat me!

Remember this! You idiot!

Ah, he ran away!

He's the best after all!

Damn!

It's the preliminary,
and I had to run a hard race!

My legs hurt...

I was so stupid.

Why did I say "Remember this! You idiot!"

I looked like a pathetic hoodlum
who got beat up.

Asahina must be disappointed in me.

Asahina...

Umm... I...

Let me see your legs.

Huh? My legs?

W-What does this mean?

She suddenly comes over
and treats my legs.

Ouch!

Endure it!

Does this mean that
she's not mad at me anymore?

I remember she was cheering
for me during my race.

But well...

I blundered badly
in front of so many people.

Hey, Asahina.

Why are you doing this?

Don't move.

Okay.

I hear cicadas chirping
even though it's still June.

I'm so stupid, aren't I?

After talking big like that...

You must be disappointed in me, right?

Because it's hotter than usual this year,

they thought it was summer already,
so they showed up, I guess.

Huh?

The cicadas.

Ah... yeah. The cicadas, right.

All done.

A-Asahina.

--You skipped practice for three days. That's why.
--Huh?

I'm talking about
the race result you had!

Umm... oh... yeah...

Even athletes who practice every day

lose their balance
just before the finish line.

Yes.

You'd better come tomorrow
to club practice, okay?

What?

W-What does this mean?

...better come?

I'm going even if she doesn't ask me.

Man, it's hot...

It's almost summer.

I'll become the wind
on the green field

Right now, I'll just...

Get a little "reckless"
and "fired up" and speed up

Let's go

Run

Stop

Advance

Falter

Jump

Squat

Sing

Shout

Triumph

Fall short

I'll live, right here

Living recklessly like this
isn't altogether bad, either

Something'll happen,
I have this feeling

Day after day
of getting covered in bruises

Some days, I feel my "limit", though...

I'll become the wind
on the green field

I'll run right through the moment

The shapes of things change,
it's just the way it is

You can't stop it...

A little "stubborn" and "mischievous"

"Competitive"

That spirit

Run

Stop

Advance

Falter

Jump

Squat

Sing

Shout

Triumph

Fall short

I'll live, right here

Asahina, you seem to be close to Akitsuki.

No way I'm close to a guy like him!

Then... is it okay?

Is what okay?

If I confess my feelings to him...
