01x10 - DAP Not Needing Words

[bunniefuu]

Kaoru!

Hey, get a grip on yourself!

I thought I could have a little fun...

...but Cherry was really boring.

ADAM, you son of a--

Hop on!

Right now, it's more important
to get to a hospital!

I didn't think Cherry would lose like that.

I mean, you'd expect that from ADAM, but...

He was a bit harsh today.

Lord Cherry...

Langa!

MIYA! Have you seen Reki?

Reki?

Oh, the redhead who skated against Mr. Ainosuke.

I'm sure he was here.
I heard his "Langa" while I was skating.

Maybe he ran away...

...because he doesn't wanna see you.

You're in the way.
I'm about to start my run now.

But make sure to bring him to the next beef
even if you have to put a rope around his neck.

I wanna show that slime the moment
where I'm crowned champion.

The next beef is between MIYA
and that mysterious capman!

Do your best, MIYA!

He promised me, and yet...

Fallen rocks?

You're gonna dodge it at that speed?

What's with that skating?

--Is he dancing?
--Wha...?

--That technique!
--What's with that guy?

It's like he's dancing!

That skating is...

A dance? They sound like
they're talking about ADAM!

Impossible!

I can't catch up to him at all!

--What's with that?
--So cool!

Rock bottom. The worst.

Both myself and this whole skating thing...

It's Mr. Ainosuke.

Would you like to skate with me?

As the child of a servant...

...it was taboo for me
to get close to Mr. Ainosuke.

However, Mr. Ainosuke started
to sneak in time and time again.

Skating was Mr. Ainosuke's
one and only breather.

Or rather, it was his lifeline.

And yet...

I wish I didn't teach him how to skate.

If it was any other hobby,

he could have befriended a child
of proper social standing instead of me.

The Senior Master wouldn't
have had to make him quit.

I led Mr. Ainosuke down the wrong path.

That is why...

I will win and take
skateboarding away from you.

"PART #10:
DAP NOT NEEDING WORDS"

Big Brother, you're an idiot.

Yeah. Thank you.

I'll be going now.

Thanks for the meal.

Langa...

What?

Nothing! Take care.

I'm heading out now.

He has been like a shell of himself
ever since you passed.

He stopped snowboarding at some point, too.

But after we came here, he seemed like
he was having fun, so I was relieved. Yet...

He's not the type that talks
about himself, either.

This face...

It's not like him.

He finally has a chance to skate with me.

Can it be the wedding blues?

"Time off"?

Yeah. He said he was gonna
take a bit of time off.

You haven't heard from Reki?

Not at all.

He's agonizing in his own way right now.

Leave him alone for now.

Why the hell did I bring this here?

If I say so myself, I'm acting like
I'm not really over this.

That's such a lame board!

What is that thing?

That's so tasteless, dude!

Lemme see that!

Don't touch it!

Well, if it ain't Reki... This guy dropped
out of our team three days after joining.

What's up with that?

So, you're still skating, huh?

You wanna join our team again?

I don't wanna join that rotten team.

What was that?

Nobody on your team loves to skate!
You're doing it just for fashion!

Wait, is he picking a fight with us?

Looks like it!

He's up for it!

Hey, get him!

It was a good idea to use driftwood.

It was all thanks to you, Hiromi.
Especially for big items like that.

I'm glad I could be of help to you!

But I didn't think it was that big.

Look out!

Hiromi? Keep yourself together!

It's all your fault, SHADOW!

Miki left me!

She said she hated weak guys!

It's all your fault!

Your fault!

"THE 50th ANNIVERSARY
OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE"

We are here celebrating the 50th anniversary
of our chamber of commerce...

We are here celebrating the 50th anniversary
of our chamber of commerce...

I have received word from a capman.

SHADOW, who was slated to be
your opponent, was injured.

So, that means I win by default?

That doesn't work up the crowd.

Go confirm whether or not
SHADOW really is unable to skate.

Yes, sir.

Thanks again!

Hey, that's Reki's...

Reki! Hey, are you all right?

Manager Oka?

Come on now, did you
get in a fight or something?

I'm kinda weird right now.

They really got me,

but I kinda feel good.

You know, that's because
you hate yourself right now.

Huh?

You hate yourself so much
that you want to punch yourself, right?

You know, Reki...

Langa is different from the two of us.

You can say the same for Cherry and JOE, too.

They're a completely different
kind of people than us.

Are you saying we're not a good match?

They're different.

After I realized that, I stopped agonizing.

I stopped comparing myself to them.

Isn't that sad, though?

To give up from the beginning
and comforting yourself...

"S" isn't everything about skateboarding.

Don't we have our own way of skateboarding?

I...

...don't want that.

It's not a bad thing to take care of yourself.

It's too late if you get reckless and get
seriously injured. I mean, even SHADOW...

Huh?

Why are you here?

I don't wanna see you right now.

What's up?

I think Reki was there just now.

H-Hey!

Jeez.

Reki!

MIYA...

Why aren't you showing up?

I wasn't chosen.

Reki, you're a liar.

I'm not lying!

You said you wouldn't be going away.

We'll never disappear from your sight!

For now, I'll forgive you for lying to me.

So, come with me.

Sorry, but I no longer...

Wait!

You lying little slime!

"COME HERE!"

"HERE I COME!"

"SLIIIIP!!"

"SK8 the Infinity"

"RATTLE RATTLE"

"SK8 the Infinity"

He's always back by dinnertime.

I see.

You can come in if you'd like.

Huh?

I'm sure he'll be back soon.

What's for dinner tonight?

Croquettes!

Croquettes! Croquettes!

Huh?

Wait, this place is...

A love hotel.

Wait, who are you?

At 13 mph, you probably
only got a couple bruises.

So, who in the hell are you?

Agree to a private settlement with me.

Huh?

I don't want this in the papers.
I can't cause trouble to the man I serve.

Don't mock me!

I won't sue you or anything.

I get this hurt all the time when I skate.

"Skate"?

Oh, you're...

What?

If you don't need anything, I'll be on my way.

Never been in a place like this?

Sh-Shut up!

You should quit skating.

Huh?

You should pick some other hobby.

That's none of your business.

Skating is dangerous.
You can get seriously injured from it.

I already know that.

It has a bad rep, too. The image
that only delinquents skate is still around,

so people always give you a cold look.

I know that, too.

There are few instructors,
and many manufacturers are terrible.

It's not like you can earn a living by mastering
it like you can with baseball or soccer.

Skating is barbaric, obscure and a worthless
game that only causes unhappiness.

You should quit right now.

Shut up!

You don't get it at all!

Skateboarding is...

...fun, exciting and awesome!

You can do it anytime, anywhere!

Practice is slow and steady...

...and you end up being able to do more things.

And each time you learn something new,
it's joyful and fun.

And a lot more fun when you skate
together with someone else!

It's fun.

So fun.

That's right.

Skateboarding...

...is really fun!

It's already midnight!

One more! Just one more time!

You all right?

Oh, I screwed up!

He's still got the same face.

Reki, you know...

...skateboarding's really...

I must be an idiot.

Whether I'm good or talented
doesn't matter at all.

The first time I got on a skateboard...

I'll be blunt...

...I was super craptastic at it.

All I did was trip and fall.

But...

...I felt like wanting to ride it more and more!

Yeah, you really don't get it.

There's only one reason why we all skate!

It's because it's fun!

Jeez.

Why are all skaters so stupid?

Do as you like.

Wait, how do I check out of here?

What about money? And keys?

Don't leave me here!

Langa!

Who was...

...this redhead again?

What about SHADOW?

It seems he won't be able to skate for a while.

Oh, brother. I guess I'll have to bring someone
like JOE or MIYA up in a consolation race.

Welcome home!

Langa was here.

Huh?

But he just went home.

And a message from Langa...
He said he was borrowing your skateboard.

My board?

I have to see Langa and talk to him!

Talk? About what?

How I fled from skating?

How I acted so terribly against him?

Or...

Langa!

Reki!

Um...

--I...
--I...

What?

No, you, Reki.

Oh, jeez! Words just flew out somewhere!

I've been thinking for all this time!

I'm always no good when it counts!

Let's skate.

Huh?

Together!

So high!

Langa's skating is totally awesome!

Me, too!

This feeling...

It really was what I thought.

I hear it.

My body is ecstatic.

It was like that back then, too.

So, that's it.

I loved snowboarding together with Dad.

That's why when Dad was no longer here,
I lost sight of how fun it was.

And it's the same for skating!

--Who I skate together with is,
for me, the most...

--Huh? Hey!
--Who I skate together with is,
for me, the most...

Ow...

Why didn't you dodge?

Did you hit your head or something?

You're amazing, Reki.

Huh?

You know all the details about skating,
and you made me my very own board.

Why this all of a sudden?

You're good at teaching, too. It's all thanks
to you that I learned how to ollie.

That's from your natural potential and effort.

Reki, you taught me that skating is fun!

You're my teacher!

Reki, you always go beyond my imagination.

That idea of spinning the tracks,
and that beef with ADAM, too...

That's enough!

That's really enough.

You usually don't talk, yet you're talking
so much in a situation like this.

Can I talk a bit more?

Lately, I lost sight of why I was skating.

No matter who I skated with
or where I skated...

...I didn't feel it.

Nothing.

But it's different now.

I feel it because I'm here with you, Reki!

It feels fun!

I...

...was thinking the same thing!

I wanna skate together with you a lot more!

Tomorrow, the day after that
and long after that!

Me, too!

I wanna infinitely skate together with you!

Infinitely? Isn't that a bit much?

You're the one that said it first, Reki,
that skating was infinite!

Come to think of it, I did!

Let's add one more trick to our DAP!

Sounds good!

I don't appreciate you
looking elsewhere, Little Langa.

I decided on who will take SHADOW's place.

Love always comes with obstacles. Besides...

...don't you get more fired up
when there are obstacles?

"NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW"

I'm the only one who can compete
against ADAM in the semifinals.

If you lose again, you'll lose your standing.

Says you who lost against Langa.

You sure you can say stuff
like that? I know that...

What? Stop it.

--Though you act like you like Japanese food...

--Stop!
--Though you act like you like Japanese food...

--One carbonara, please!
--...you like Italian food!
