00:10That girl just landed a triple Lutz like it was nothing!
00:13Uh-huh. That's Miku Ahiru. She's definitely one to watch in this championship.
00:20Oh really? What do you know about her?
00:22Remember our conversation about seated skaters?
00:25Uh, sure.
00:25This is a ranking of the skaters from all the block events.
00:28Hmm? Second overall with 91 points?
00:35And Suzu scored over a hundred. And I'm...
00:43Inori.
00:45If you land this quadruple cell, you can break a hundred points too.
00:50You think so?
00:51I do. I know so.
00:54Okay.
00:59Thanks for coming to see me off.
01:02Bye, Inari. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to call.
01:06Got it!
01:08You know what you need to work on, Miku. Get together with your coaches.
01:12Right!
01:15Okay then. I'll be rooting for you to do your best jumps ever at the championship.
01:20Thank you very much!
01:26I can't believe Coach Uobuchi helped her land a quadruple jump.
01:31Of course, this is just the beginning.
01:39Am I too late to say goodbye?
01:42Whatever. Long as he makes his flight.
01:45He will.
01:46He told me to decide on that specific jump before we meet again.
01:50Hmm...
01:50That quadruple toe loop, yeah?
01:53Coach Uobuchi said, I should go ahead and try it now while my body is nice and light, rather than
01:58putting it off until next year.
01:59That's a good point, but how do you feel?
02:02I feel like you should decide.
02:05Pressure!
02:06Listen, Coach. The three of us are in this thing together. And you're the brains of the outfits, so... I
02:13think you should decide.
02:15Since when am I the brains? You know, I don't recall signing up for that position.
02:21Yeah, well you are. Cause you know it's definitely not Juna.
02:24Well fair.
02:26And besides, if I leave the strategy just to you, I'll have no regrets.
02:33Kohei, wait! Look!
02:36That's it. Keep it up.
02:41Alright then.
02:42I don't think we need a quad. We'll fight with what we've got.
02:47Roger that.
02:49What do you say we break for lunch?
02:51Kay.
02:53Tsukasa, been a while.
02:56Kohei, what's up?
02:58Wow, someone's happy.
03:00Uh, coach?
03:01Oh, sorry.
03:02This right here is the legendary Kohei Kamogawa.
03:05We were in the same club back during our competition days. I learned a lot from him.
03:09Sorry for the boys earlier. I didn't mean to interrupt your sesh.
03:13Yeah, boy! Let's eat!
03:16Oh my god!
03:17I know, right? These guys get so much of my dang money.
03:21It's great to see that you're doing so well, Kohei. I had no idea you settled down in Niigata.
03:26Yeah, back at you, buddy. Are you like, more in shape now than when we were competing?
03:32You know it! Cause I can actually afford a decent diet now.
03:36So that student of yours, she won the Chubu block, right? Can I introduce her to Miku and the others?
03:42Oh, of course. They haven't officially met. Hey, Nori!
03:46Oh, you're right. I totally forgot to carry the remainder.
03:51They're already besties.
03:52Well, I'll go get the kiddos then.
03:56Not the buns!
03:58Pazuki, you twerk! Apologize to him!
04:02So, uh, guess I'll introduce him.
04:04From the left. Ryuto, Yusuke, Hyuto, Haruka, Takuma, Pazuki, Ryota.
04:08Um, Ryo?
04:10Oh, you got a ton of boys here. Do you teach them all yourself?
04:14I only teach them once a week. The other clown is with them more frequently.
04:19What? What other clown?
04:21Huh! Uh! Huh! Uh!
04:26Uh!
04:28No!
04:29Leave him alone!
04:31Bro, no! Put that chair down, young lady!
04:34Hey! Take that off already!
04:38Wait! Where have I seen him before?
04:42Disinfected by bacteria!
04:45That's the magic of hyper-white Juna.
04:48Oh my god! Juna Shidotori's really a duck! How could this be?
04:53Other way around.
04:54Wait, why is there a celebrity at the ice rink?
04:57Hey, do Dark Duck Juna! Do Dark Duck!
05:01Here he comes. Here he creeps. Making all your laundry stink.
05:08It is I, Dark Duck Juna!
05:11It's really him?
05:13You bet. Juna used to be in our club too.
05:16Now he does Miku's choreo. He's not bad at it.
05:20Coach! Kohei! Choreographer Juna! Skater Miku! We're Team Ahiru!
05:28Huh. Doesn't look like she knew he was a skater at all.
05:31He is more of a TV personality now.
05:34Wow, Coach! You were in a club with Juna Shidotori? You're awesome!
05:41No way. Juna is the awesome one here.
05:44She was a pro and I was a big ol' loser, but thanks.
05:47Uh, he didn't act like this about Coach Kohei.
05:52Why are you such a grumpus?
05:54That's the way to greet a friend you haven't seen in a million years now, is it?
05:58Would you stop? I don't think he likes that.
06:00He told you to stop! Coach doesn't like that!
06:03Juna Shidotori!
06:05Sorry for him, you naughty. It's kind of a bad habit.
06:09Huh? What is?
06:10Juna tends to tease people when they get tongue-tied.
06:13This time seems pretty bad, though. He doesn't usually annoy people so much.
06:16Hey, excuse you! Can you not spread weird rumors about me?
06:20We're all from here. We go way back.
06:24We've been skating together since Miku was only four years old.
06:27Juna thought it was cute that she acted like a bossy big sister, so he played into it.
06:31But she's so put together now, she's kind of in charge for real.
06:35Love her own training, I mean.
06:37Seriously, don't say stuff like that!
06:40These two seem more like clubmates than teacher and student.
06:45And what about Hikaru?
06:47What kind of relationship does she have with her coach?
06:51Say what? Are you talking about Hikaru Kamisaki?
06:54Huh? Oh, yeah.
06:56I don't know her well, but I've always looked up to her, you know what I mean?
07:00So one day, I want to be able to beat her in competition.
07:05That's really cool.
07:07Setting a goal like beating the girl at the very top?
07:10That's awesome.
07:12Well, thank you.
07:13Do you have a goal for the All Japans?
07:16I just want to do well.
07:18I'd like to do well enough to advance from novice
07:20and get recommended to qualify for the All Japans Junior event.
07:24Oh, yeah?
07:25So some skaters don't want a medal just to advance at all?
07:29Hmm.
07:30Well, I can't speak for what the other girls want.
07:33For me, though, it would at least earn me another month of doing all of this.
07:38Figure skating.
07:40Huh?
07:44It's sad, but after this event, I'm quitting.
07:49They're closing down the rink at the end of the year.
07:54You can't skate without a rink.
07:56She's gonna have to quit.
07:58It's a bummer.
07:59So few people show up for public skating sessions anymore
08:02that we've basically had the rink to ourselves.
08:05And as this place has declined, she's skyrocketed.
08:09Pretty ironic to get more time on the ice
08:11than the girls at more elite clubs
08:12because your rink is going under.
08:17Her form is really beautiful.
08:20You can tell she's been drilled on every little detail,
08:23right down to the fingertips.
08:29So Inori's going for that quadruple south cow?
08:32Hmm?
08:34Hmm.
08:35But I've never tried to evaluate a jump's success rate
08:38in such a short period of time.
08:42I don't know how good it needs to be before I tell her yes.
08:45For me, I'd see if she could land it three times in a row.
08:49You know?
08:50Huh?
08:54Okay, check this out.
08:55First one there,
08:57then immediately jump the second.
08:59And third.
09:00And if she can land it all three times without stopping,
09:03it gets the green light.
09:05That's not bad.
09:06If she can do that,
09:08she ought to be just fine in the championship.
09:10But three quads in a row is a lot to ask of her, don't you think?
09:14Yeah, that's Kohei being tough.
09:17As long as she can land the last one,
09:19who cares about the first two?
09:20She can totally mess up or even fall on those.
09:23But if she can land the third,
09:24that proves she can deliver when it counts.
09:26Word?
09:28Yeah, you're right.
09:29Well, this approach is still pretty brutal.
09:32But there's no right answer on the ice.
09:35You're just going to have to go with your gut
09:37and trust both your instincts.
09:39That's so insightful.
09:41Thank you so much.
09:42Are you stupid?
09:43Huh?
09:43If she can only land it once,
09:46vague notions of pulling it off in competition
09:48aren't going to save you.
09:49That's just reckless.
09:52Why are you so dismissive?
09:54That method worked out just fine for me.
09:56And I hear Shinichiro Sonidori does it too,
09:58I'll have you know.
09:59Sonidori does it too?
10:01Good for him.
10:02I'm not Shinichiro Sonidori.
10:03If I don't get three in a row,
10:05it's not in the program.
10:07Period.
10:08End of story.
10:09Stop making that face.
10:12You are literally the worst, bro.
10:14You already shot down Coach Obuchi's idea too.
10:17Cool.
10:18And what's that got to do with anything?
10:19You're making choreography decisions behind my back.
10:23Drop the ego already and stop playing it safe with our routine.
10:26Miku asked me to make that decision, bonehead.
10:28Get your facts straight and quit talking all that smack.
10:32I hate you so much!
10:35I like dance.
10:36I don't want to win with the hardest jumps.
10:38I want to win with the whole package.
10:42Every skater at Nationals is going to have a triple Lutz in their arsenal.
10:45Well, the key then becomes how well you can minimize your point deductions.
10:50And like, none of us ever landed a quad.
10:54So how do we know what it takes?
10:58Because I actually know what it takes to become the best in the world.
11:01You, on the other hand, do not.
11:03That's why the girl's dreams won't come true.
11:09Thanks, you guys.
11:11I got everything I need.
11:13We're going to use the quad and we're going to make it work.
11:16As her coach, I owe her the very best shot at victory.
11:21This is Hitomi's last event.
11:24And I've poured the last of my skating funds into making sure it's a success.
11:30If we take home a medal, I'll see that as a sign that I should keep on being an athlete.
11:40Go for it, then.
11:41You haven't changed.
11:44Feels good to compete with you again.
11:49With the Tokyo Block Championship behind us, the KingKey Championship on the 24th will decide who qualifies for the all
11:56-Japan's novice division.
11:58Among them, the spotlight is on the skaters from Tokyo Star Fox FSC under head coach Riley Fox.
12:05In her competitive days, Ms. Fox won the Olympic gold medal for the United States.
12:09Shortly thereafter, she realized her long-held dream of opening a skating club in Japan, a country close to her
12:16heart.
12:17In just four years, her students have already taken on elite skating clubs and made the podium in nearly every
12:22class.
12:22How is it that the messier you'll slurp and the tasteier it gets?
12:26Hiya there, coach.
12:29You better do something with that friend's nest before you go teach class.
12:33Oh, hey, Akko.
12:34You're gonna disappoint all the students expecting to see the version of you they know from TV.
12:39Akko, you always just so fierce. I just love that fit.
12:43No, don't you dare chase the subject. Everybody's already here and they're already warming up.
12:49Darlings!
12:52Good morning, coach!
12:54I love you so.
12:56Okay then, let's get into it. I want you all to be winners.
13:00Yes, ma'am!
13:04It's really coming down out here. Wonder how deep it's gonna get.
13:09Kyoka!
13:11I made up a skating rink there on the lawn for you. Go get your skates on and try it
13:16out.
13:18Grandpa!
13:21Kyoka. Hey, Kyoka.
13:25Is that Grandpa?
13:26No, sorry. We should get going. Riley's show's done.
13:31No! Why didn't you wake me up for it?
13:35Ah, you were out cold. Were you dreaming about your grandpa there?
13:38Mm-hmm.
13:40And somehow his legs were all better and he built a whole skating rink for me to use at home.
13:46It's nice that the rink for the Al Japans is so close to the house.
13:50He can come and watch.
13:53I'm so excited!
14:06All right, yes!
14:08All right, yes!
14:28What other day's well?
14:30I'm so excited!
14:31He's also throwing, he's like it's here, but he's having a full shot!
14:31I'll try and pick up Catholic игры!
14:33He's going back to the Rink!
14:34So Arist...
14:34Oh my God!
14:48Wooaa!
14:50Oh my God!
14:57Here.
14:59Thank you very much, Coach.
15:01I tensed up kinda early.
15:04Well, it made for the best Lutz that I've ever seen you land.
15:07You were superb.
15:10From Rengecha FSC,
15:12Emma Yamato's score is 80.01.
15:16She currently ranks in seventh place.
15:23All right, I think we got the shot we need.
15:25Great, thanks for all your hard work.
15:28What the hell?
15:30This is total BS!
15:31Oh, I'm so pissed off, I can't even say straight!
15:34She only had one fall, she landed a triple Lutz,
15:37she broke 80 points, and she's in seventh place!
15:42Hey, Coach.
15:44Hmm? What's up?
15:46You don't have to try and cheer me up or anything like that.
15:49Oh, why not?
15:51Just now, I was thinking about the West Japan Championship back when I was still level one.
15:57How I kept trying and trying,
15:59and didn't give up until I won gold.
16:03So you don't need to worry.
16:05I know how to keep my head up.
16:07Bouncing back is kinda my specialty.
16:09I just need you to be there for me, okay?
16:15Sure.
16:17You've been breaking through walls these other kids don't even know exist yet.
16:22And by the time you get to be a senior,
16:24this'll probably all be boring to you.
16:27It's gonna be a super breeze.
16:29And in first place, from Rengecha FSC,
16:35Suzu Kamoto.
16:36Yay, me!
16:41Suzu was the one who brought me into this world.
16:44And I really thought, once I became a novice, I'd get closer to her level.
16:49But she's still so far ahead.
16:57It's been a week since the Keenki block meet.
16:59And with the Nationals coming up,
17:01I think we should be looking to finalize the girls' routines ASAP.
17:06No.
17:06We'd do well to wait.
17:08I don't want this club to finalize anything
17:10until I've gotten to see the other skaters practice.
17:13Ako Koara from Tokyo,
17:16Kiyoka Kosuzume from Aomori,
17:19Paran Ogomo from Fukuoka,
17:21Miku Ahiru from Niigata.
17:24But above all,
17:26it's going to depend on Hikaru.
17:41Still at it, are we?
17:43Tsk, tsk.
17:44Staying behind in secret?
17:46Shinichiro's getting worried that the princess is out so late.
17:50Oh, sorry.
17:51I mean, the spellcaster.
17:54Come on.
17:55I'll take you home.
18:11You in there?
18:12Hm.
18:13You really are some kind of wild beast disguised,
18:16this little girl, aren't you?
18:19Sorry.
18:19I was just thinking.
18:22You must really love this music, eh?
18:25Frankly, I think the choreography I built for you
18:27is a hundred times cooler than this.
18:30It's not about loving it.
18:32I hate that I'm not seeing the world that my coach saw so clearly.
18:37Because I want to make it my own.
18:38I don't want things handed to me.
18:49Oh, yes!
18:51Good, it's one down.
18:52Here's two!
18:53Oh!
18:56Did you see that?
18:57Was that jump a quad?
18:58That's insane!
18:59That's better than Hikaru!
19:03Inori.
19:04Inori, let me just say this right now.
19:07Once you start practicing quads at the Nagoya rink,
19:10it's likely you're gonna start to get a whole lot of attention.
19:13If you notice the grown-ups are treating you differently,
19:16don't let it get you.
19:17It won't bother me, so...
19:21Yeah...
19:23Um...
19:25I know that.
19:26I kinda saw it coming when I chose to learn this jump.
19:31And I think...
19:32If I don't let myself crack under the pressure...
19:37That's what's gonna make me the greatest medalist in the world.
19:43You don't know that.
19:45In this fort, there are no absolutes.
19:47On the contrary.
19:49I do know that.
19:53You just wait and see.
19:56Akeura-ji.
19:58Yes.
19:59River has it.
20:00They're working on a big new jump.
20:03She's probably going to go for a quadruple Sao-Kao.
20:06Yeah, how did you know?
20:08Because it's the only way she could ever outscore Hikaru.
20:19I'll show you...
20:23The real meaning of certainty.
20:42It's the only place...
20:44Which is the only place.
20:46Which is the only place to be.
20:49It's the only place to be here.
20:55This is the only place to be the one with me.
21:10I don't care, but I don't care
21:16When my new shoes, they think I'm a fool
21:20I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
21:26Yeah, watch me, this is me
21:32転んだ数だけ
21:33I got nothing but this fire
21:37I'll show you what I can do
21:41You watch me, this is me転んだ数だけ
21:49I got nothing but this
21:52fire I'll show you what
21:55I can do
22:20Here we go
22:30Here, your shoes.
22:49Hey, Nani.
22:56I've been waiting for you.
23:00I've been waiting for you.
23:01I've been waiting for you.
