Tumbling (Shintaiso ga, oretachi o otoko ni shita / タンブリング / 新体操が、オレ達をオトコにした)

Hey. Teach me tambourine.

Tambourine?

My dream will finally come true.

Let me join the rhythmic gymnastics club too.

I'm going to do rhythmic gymnastics!

Does that mean that Satoshi can longer do rhythmic gymnastics?

Become that manager thing.

You're a necessary member of this club.

Captain...

Don't get any more involved with me.

Don't get cocky. Murderer!

I told you not to get involved, didn't I?

That's an impossible request.

You're my friend.

Would you like to do it too?

I think it'd be more fun to be with everyone else than alone.

I did it. I did it!

Everyone, I did it!

So...

I really have to wear this?

What's your problem?

It looks good on you. Right, Nippori?

Yes, I'm Nippori.

I did it! Oh, sorry about that, Nippori-kun.

I've arranged for us to attend the training camp at Teito University on our next 3 day weekend.

- What? - Training camp?

Really, Sensei?

Yes. Shoko-sensei arranged for it, and finally got an OK.

That's amazing!

Speaking of Teito University, ever since a coach named Takasugi took over...

...they've won 7 consecutive college championships.

You'll attend the training camp with us, right Hino-kun?

Yes. It'll be more worthwhile than practicing with you people.

He's annoying, as usual. Listen up, I'm never gonna lose to you!

Nippori, great spirit!

We have less than a month until the Prefectural Meet. Let's concentrate at the training camp...

I'll pass.

I can't sleep if I don't use my own pillow.

You can just bring it with you.

I'll pass too. I have a date with Junko-san.

Me too, then. I have stuff to do with Hinako.

What're you talking about?

Kiyama just joined, so this is a good opportunity to work on strengthening our teamwork...

Quit harping. There's no need to make something like that stronger.

C'mon, let's go to practice.

Kiyama, let's go!

Azuma-kun.

The boys are going to the training camp too, right?

Huh?

"The boys are going too," meaning you girls are going too?

Right. They said it was joint training with the girls team. Let's work hard together.

But, on the break, I...

Yeah. The training camp will be good opportunity to work on our teamwork. We'll do our best.

Bye.

Training camp, huh?

Huh?

Tumbling Episode 5

Guys, your handstands are all over the place.

Really?

I was perfect.

You can't tell when you're doing it.

So, everyone pair up and start by checking each other's form.

Mizusawa, come teach Kiyama the flexibility exercises.

Sorry. I'm going to go get the tape.

Kiyama, I'll teach you.

Mizusawa-senpai.

It's true!

The training camp is an important opportunity for us to increase our teamwork before the meet.

Right, Ryosuke?

Huh? Yeah.

I have no idea.

Hey Ryosuke!

Are you really going to practice?

Of course. Right, Nippori?

Yes! Aniki is not going so that he can get closer to Mari-chan.

Crap! I said it!

Hey, Nippori!

Mari-chan, huh?

Wataru.

Don't worry about things here.

What?

I'll stay here while you're away so that bad bugs don't approach Natsuko-san.

Yeah, right, Potato Man.

Be quiet, Wataru. Stupid.

Kiyama, our omurice is awesome, right?

- Yeah. - Eat up.

Mizusawa, can you really believe that we'll get to go to a training camp at Teito University?

Yeah, totally.

It's gonna be awesome...

- Yuuta. - Huh?

Is it okay for me not to go to the training camp?

What're you talking about? These kinds of chances don't come along all the time.

What's wrong?

Well...

The meet is coming up soon. Let's do our best together.

Oh. Maybe I should increase our strength training plan?

Things haven't changed.

Did you attend this university, Sensei?

When I was competing I used the facilities here.

I arranged this session with my coach from back then.

Amazing! This is the same as what's used in competition!

Awesome! It doesn't hurt at all!

Do you want to try some tumbling?

Hey, you guys!

What are you doing?

Hey, Redhead. Don't step on the mat without permission.

I'm sorry.

Coach Takasugi, it's been a long time since we've met.

- Everyone, gather over here. - Yes.

The three days of this training camp...

The gym will be used in morning, afternoon, and evening shifts by both groups and individuals.

Practice outside of the gym will be determined by each coach.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Red.

What?

Where's your answer?

Yeah.

And, on the last day of training, we'll have a exhibition to show off the results of the training camp.

We'll start warm ups after you all have changed.

- Yes. - All right!

I'm looking forward to seeing your group's performance.

You're gonna make us laugh again, right?

- Are you guys picking a fight? - Wataru.

Stop it. We don't have time to waste. Hurry up.

Yes, sir.

He's annoying, as usual.

Should we jump him once while we're here?

Leave him alone. We don't have any time to waste either.

That's right. Let's get moving.

- Is Hino with you? - Yes.

You'll go practice with the Washizu team.

The other guys should gather in front of the storeroom.

Storeroom?

Carry all of the trash inside to the roof of the gym.

Huh?

Oh, that's right. In two hours.

Wait a sec. That's just doing an odd job.

- What about it? - "What about it?" You're kidding, right?

Don't mess with me, old man.

Ezaki left the coaching method up to me.

If you don't want to listen to me, go home. I don't care. Now get started.

Oh, but, Takasugi-san, that's...

Did you not hear me? Start moving stuff.

Where's your answer?

Yes...

Raise your hand when you answer.

- Yes... - Raise it with vigor!

Yes, sir!

Old man...

Ow, ow, ow... it's heavy.

How many more trips will we have to make?

Geez, this is such a pain!

Aniki?

I'm not doing this.

Hey! Wait up!

How can you be exhausted already?

Don't get sloppy! Increase your speed.

Old man!

Hey. Let us practice too.

If all we do is haul boxes around, we'll never beat Washizu.

I have no intention of letting you stand on this mat.

What?

What did you just say?

I told you, if you don't want to do what I say, go home.

I see.

We're done here, right?

If we can't get on the mat, then there's no point being here.

That's right. There's no way we can do what he says.

Wataru.

It'd be better if we left and practiced at home.

So you really are exactly how you look, huh?

When I heard delinquents were doing rhythmic gymnastics, I wondered what kind of people you'd be...

The only thing powerful about you is your mouth.

What was that?

Are you picking a fight?

In the end, there's no way delinquents can do rhythmic gymnastics.

If you're scared of embarrassing yourself during the exhibition, then go home now.

You...

Don't forget what you just said!

Wataru?

Like I could stay silent and let him say all that.

We're serious about doing this!

We'll show you our rhythmic gymnastics during the exhibition.

Let's go.

I'm sorry for the interruption. We'll go back to our task.

You've got an hour and a half left!

Hey. Where's your answer?

Yes, sir!

We're not gonna let that old man look down on us. Let's go!

- All right! - Let's go.

Dammit.

The atmosphere is completely different than it was a little while ago...

Yeah. I wonder if something happened.

Ow!

- Hey, don't act all tired. - Yes.

Ryosuke, are you okay? Let's go.

Hey.

You've only got 30 minutes left. Do you think you'll make it like that?

Run!

Yes, sir!
