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)

Come here right now.

Wataru, stay there! Don't you dare come here!

I'll kill Kiyama if you don't come.

Tsuchiya and I can only watch over you now.

Nippori's frustration, Kiyama's determination...

Satoshi's feelings, none of it will go to waste.

Let's win the tournament together.

Please don't destroy our dreams!

Guys... do your best...

Just like you have a dream you can't let go of...

I have things that I can't let go of too.

I can't turn my back on my friends.

Take care of it.

It seems like they'll win this year too.

Our girls are national level!

Our boys would be national class in fighting, though.

They're still having disputes with teams from other schools.

- Please don't say that even as a joke. - Yes sir.

Natsuko-san, let's calm down.

I'm going to give the boys a pep talk.

Is this really...

...what's best?

Wataru!

Make sure you put your all into it--

I hate that look of yours.

Kiyama!

Wataru...

You...

Wataru!

You shouldn't have come.

Didn't I tell you to compete?

Akabane.

That's enough, isn't it?

Let Kiyama go.

I'm your target!

Release Kiyama right now!

Akabane!

I'm gonna go.

Nippori-kun.

I'm sorry you're being put through all this.

But, to Wataru and Kiyama-kun...

...the rhythmic gymnastics club is the place they finally felt they belonged.

So, I think that's why they wanted to protect all of you.

I'm sure...

...they want to protect Akabane-kun too.

Boys, do your best.

Wataru's share too.

That's enough, isn't it?

You wanted to be the "boss," right?

You can get this many guys to follow you, and you're still unsatisfied?

That doesn't matter. I just hate you--

You were jealous.

We found something we wanted to do.

You felt like you were left behind.

That's why you didn't focus only on Wataru...

...you fixated on the entire rhythmic gymnastics club.

Akabane.

You actually want to change, don't you?

Quit talking crazy.

I just hate you guys.

Kiyama!

Wataru. You gonna fight?

Fighting is meaningless.

I promised my friends.

I said I wouldn't fight anymore.

What do you mean "friends"?

That's just coward's talk!

Akabane...

Find something to be passionate about.

Don't lecture me!

Work as hard as you can for something!

Shut up!

Akabane!

Chasing after a dream with friends...

That feels really great.

Shut up.

If you're scared and don't know how to start...

...you can ask for help from your friends!

I told you to shut up!

Even if you can't do it alone...

...you can change if you've got friends!

We...

...were able to change because we had friends to support us.

So even you can change!

Then why are you two the only ones here?

Akabane...

You still don't get it?

You're all the same way too!

Shut up! Going on and on about "friends"...

...when they abandoned you to compete.

- That's not true. - Those are your friends? Your comrades?

We can't change that easily!

Wataru!

Yuuta...

You guys...

We came to pick up our teammates.

Together.

Stay there!

We will now commence the Men's Rhythmic Gymnastics Group Competition.

Tumbling Final Episode

Congratulations on winning. We'll be looking forward to your next tournament.

Thank you.

Shoko-sensei.

Please excuse me.

What's wrong?

Azuma-kun and the others are missing.

Missing? But it's time for them to compete.

I've spoken with the vice principal too, but could you let me know if you see them?

This is really bad.

You've gotta be kidding me!

If you guys don't compete...

...then this was all meaningless!

I'm sorry!

I can't follow your orders this time, Aniki.

Sorry, but our boss gave us an order.

There's...

...no point unless the 9 of us are together.

You guys are...

...members of Kara High's Rhythmic Gymnastics Club. Aren't you?

You love it so much... You don't have to quit.

Rhythmic gymnastics is where you found you belonged, right?

Please be honest with yourself.

Wataru, do you remember?

Those are all things you said to us.

Friends...

Friends don't abandon each other!

Give them back to us!

This is an important meet.

You will...

...give my teammates back.

Each and every one of you...

...piss me off!

Akabane!

Stop!

Give my teammates back.

Shut up!

Yuuta!

Akabane... Stop it!

Give them back...

Give them back.

Ryosuke...

Give them back... please.

Please.

Hino...

Tsuchiya...

It's an... It's an important tournament.

Our...

...dream.

Mizusawa...

Nippori!

Give them back...

Kaneko...

We've been working so hard...

...for this day.

The 9 of us, together.

Give me...

...my friends back.

Akabane!

What a joke.

Let's go.

Akabane.

Come to the gym!

I'll teach you tumbling!

Now, group number 2...

Saitama Hikari High School.

Don't you think you should submit your forfeit now?

Please wait a little longer.

Nothing can be done if you don't have a team.

I thought something like this might happen.

I'm so sorry we're late.

- What happened? - How did you get those injuries?

- I'll explain everything later. - We don't have any time left.

There's no way I'm going to let you all out there!

Just having hair that color is bad enough...

...but to have been fighting on top of that...

I can't allow you to damage the dignity and honor of rhythmic gymnastics more than you have already.

- What was that? - Nippori!

- How can you say a crazy thing like that? - Be quiet!

We weren't fighting.

We just went to rescue our friend.

Do you really believe those excuses will work?

You people have no right to do rhythmic gymnastics.

What do you mean, "right"?

We're doing this seriously!

Rhythmic gymnastics is our dream!

No matter what you say, I cannot let you compete in the tournament.

If you want to blame something, blame the mistakes you all have made!

You old hag...

Shoko-sensei?

What does hair color have to do with anything?

What mistakes are you talking about?

If you're that concerned with dignity and rules, then...

...you'll never get more boys interested in practicing rhythmic gymnastics!

Why won't you look at who they are now?

Their passion for the sport is real.

Please. Don't waste these diamonds in the rough.

Please.

They love rhythmic gymnastics.

Please try to understand their feelings.

Please.
