01x11 - King vs Nobody

[bunniefuu]

Is it all right, Mr. Ainosuke?

Isn't your equestrian test tomorrow?

It's the horse that runs, not me!

Indeed.

Mr. Ainosuke?

Wha... Please stop that!

Watch me, Tadashi!

Mr. Ainosuke! Are you all right?

Skating is really fun!

Tadashi...

Thank you for teaching me how to skate!

"PART #11:
KING VS NOBODY"

Thanks for the meal!

I wasted my time worrying about him.

--Morning!
--Morning!

What should we do today?

What about the parrotfish course?

All right! First one there
gets a bottle of juice!

Hey!

Not fair!

You must go visit all of your benefactors.

It is important to solidify your organization.

We have talked to the head of the family
about your marriage arrangements.

We are all telling you this
for your sake, Ainosuke.

That's right. This is all for your sake.

Go hand this to that little redhead.

It's an invitation.

Well then, I'll try it out.

Go, Sketchy!

Whoa!

See? See?

--Ouch!
--Ouch!

You done cleaning up?

We just have to toss the water out!

I'll go toss it out.

There!

Looks like you're good again.

Sorry about suddenly taking some time off!

I'm sorry, too. Maybe I said
something I shouldn't have.

No.

It's just like what you said.

It's not just about Langa. I'm different
from JOE, MIYA and the others, too.

But I love skating as much as they do.

I see.

--Welcome!
--Welcome!

Welcome!

You're that guy from the love hotel!

--"Love hotel"?
--"Love hotel"?

Oh, that's not what I--

What kinda place is it?

Are you that innocent?

Take this.

What is this?

"Third Wheel"?

"Third wheel" means...

..."someone getting in the way."

What the... I mean, you don't have
enough if you've only got three.

I don't think that's
the right way to look at it.

ADAM has nominated you
to be SHADOW's substitute.

Huh?

But you should decline.

Huh? After getting nominated? Why?

The previous beef with you
was just him playing around.

But this time, ADAM is serious.

Couldn't ask for more!

That's enough! Are you going to ruin
your entire life over a skateboard?

It won't give you fortune nor fame!

If you get into an accident,
it'll be in the papers!

And if that happens, everything that has
been built up will come crashing down!

What do you mean?

I don't know who you're talking about,
but you really don't get it, do you?

I told you, there's only one reason to skate.

It's 'cause it's fun!

That again?

You'll understand when you are an adult...

...that having fun can't be everything.

A reserve race?

Naturally, it would be JOE or MIYA, huh?

It's Reki.

Huh?

ADAM nominated him.

He's got something up his sleeve.

That kid surely didn't accept, did he?

He's not smart enough to decline.

Is he a moron?

Oh, I'm sorry. Did he forget
that he got his ass handed to him?

He probably forgot.

That idiot...

Is he an idiot?

He knows too little about himself.
He's sure to be injured badly!

He really is an idiot.

Why do you look so amused?

Why?

Because of the fact
that Reki came back, of course.

No good.

Huh? It can't be fixed?

It's already snapped, so...

--No way.
--What's up?

I always realize things after I lose them.

Like I did with you, Reki.

About how much I cherished...

If it's broken, you just gotta fix it.

Just like us.

Yep.

Then, first off...

Rad! They're all wheels?

I made this one!

Huh? You can skate on something like this?

It was no good.

Oh.

Then, what about this?

That one is for rainy weather.
It has grooves like car tires.

I saw it in a magazine.

I think it was in there!

Skate Fun, August issue.

It's pronounced "FAN."

I said "FUN," didn't I?

The magazine is "FAN"
like you're a big fan of something.

Wait, there's a difference?

Reki, "FUN" with a U is when
you're enjoying something.

But both involve enjoyment, right?

You're right.

Let's salvage any parts that we can use.
That way, it's basically being reborn.

Good idea.

Any other parts we can use?

The foot clips seem okay.

Hey, Langa... Wanna try taking them off?

Huh?

This has been something similar
to training wheels for you until now.

You still need them?

No. I'm fine now.

Okay!

What about you, Reki? Are you okay?

That beef with ADAM...
What are you gonna do about it?

That said, I can't skate in this rain.

Rain, huh?

"OKINAWA PREFECTURE HEADQUARTERS"
"OUR LOVE WILL SAVE JAPAN"

After everything that has happened,
you are the only one we can rely on, Mr. Shindo!

But someone young like me being the leader
of the prefectural chapter for our party...

We need someone to pipe us to the core!

It's all riding on your shoulders!

Everyone wants Mr. Ainosuke...

...nonstop ever since his father passed away.

And I am trying to rob Mr. Ainosuke
of his one and only respite.

However, if he keeps taking out
one skater after another,

there will be an incident someday.

And if that happens,
it's all over for Mr. Ainosuke.

"OUR LOVE WILL SAVE JAPAN
AINOSUKE SHINDO"

"OUR LOVE WILL SAVE JAPAN
AINOSUKE SHINDO"

It must be stopped...

...by me.

Yes, I have requested for a search warrant.

We'll be stepping foot into Diet Member
Shindo's mansion and settle the score there.

ADAM's gonna skate!

Who's his opponent? The redhead?

Tonight's gonna be a m*ssacre show.

A slime can't win against the evil overlord!

Drop out immediately
if things start looking bad.

It's not guaranteed that I'm gonna lose.

Well, it's not guaranteed
that I'm gonna win, either.

But this time, I'm definitely
not gonna back down.

I don't wanna be disappointed
in myself anymore.

"A born fool is never cured", they say.

I'll be waiting at the finish line. Push me.

Don't sound so high and mighty.
What happened to Carla?

Win, Reki.

Don't make it sound so easy.

I'll win, too.

Let's go head-to-head in the finals.

Right!

That's a promise.

Yeah.

Make sure to properly start off this time.

Of course.

Oh, this gets my heart pumping!

When you turn into a messy
heap because of me,

what kind of face will Little Langa have?

What kind of gaze will he look at me with?

Huh! You won't be able to take me down
like you're planning to.

It's ADAM, as expected!

So boring!

This follows predictions too much!

See, he can't put up a fight whatsoever.

Even then...

...Reki is going slower than usual.

Is he hesitating?

You're so slow!

How long are you planning
on making me wait?

He's starting off with it!

Crush him with that hug, ADAM!

He's doing it!

Love Hug?

Don't freak out.

Plunge in!

Just kidding.

You thought I wouldn't take
any measures since last time?

He read into it!

Get away, Reki!

An exciting red...

Reki!

--A flash victory?
--Hold out for a bit longer, will ya?

Stand up!

I took the luxury of letting you
roll around in the grass.

Of course.

Don't get the wrong idea
that you've won already!

Don't stand up, idiot!

Just take that loss!

Isn't this way too one-sided?

That guy's gonna get m*rder*d.

This was a real disappointment.

An obstacle this small
just doesn't light my heart on fire!

Let's make him stop, JOE!

That's useless.

ADAM won't stop tonight
until that boy is taken out.

Reki isn't gonna simply go down, either.

And your grounds are...

We promised.

Let's use that corner, shall we?

I figured out your true nature...

...so why don't we end it soon?

Dammit! What should I...

In times like this, what would he...

What would Langa be doing?

Can I...

...do it?

No.

It's not about whether or not I can do it.

Besides...

...this looks like it's more fun!

Is he planning on jumping off the cliff?

That's reckless!

Go, Reki!

Amazing.

Langa was always looking at views like this?

Impossible!

All right!

What was that? Far from satisfying.

Skating's super fun, after all!

"Fun" that I don't know about yet
still exists infinitely!

Just because you nail one fluke,
don't think you've won it all!

I've been waiting...

...for you to pull ahead of me!

What's the meaning of this?

Are you trying to k*ll me
before committing su1c1de?

I love entertaining others...

...but being entertained
is something I hate to death!

Reki, get away! That's more than enough!

Not yet.

What are you saying--

Reki hasn't given up yet.

I will admit that you've got some guts.

But... what about this?

I'm going to go all in...

...so much that you stop breathing!

You finally peeled away.

Someone like you embracing me
is nothing more than an annoyance.

I'll be getting even further away from you now.

What was that?

I'm gonna leave you behind
and cross the finish line first!

Huh! And I was wondering what you'd say.

Rain!

The worse the condition gets, the true
potential of the skaters come into light.

He has even less of a chance
to win in this condition!

Oh...

I hate the rain.

Decks are ruined when they're wet,
and you lose your grip.

It really is the nemesis of skateboarding.

I should quickly end such a boring beef.

What?

Reki's pulling ahead!

This can't be!

This is a fluke!

Something like this!

Those wheels!

They're wheels for rainy weather.

There are special grooves on them
so he won't slip even in the rain.

On the other hand, he'll be slower
than usual in clear weather.

So, that's why he was slow
in the first half!

Then, he was predicting
that rain would start falling?

Reki was betting on this.

How's it going, ADAM?

Not even you can keep a good grip
with normal wheels, right?

Don't get cocky.

Mere rain won't change anything!

I'll finish it all in a flash!

That's...

The technique that defeated Cherry!

I named it "Full Swing Kiss."

You shouldn't take that hit!

Don't flee!

Full Swing Kiss!

What?

Saucy brat!

ADAM...

...tripped up?

You're joking.

Our ADAM?

Kaoru?

ADAM! ADAM of all people!

Serves ADAM right!

All right! The slime defeated the evil overlord!

All right!

Mr. Higa? Is something the matter, Mr. Higa?

You're awesome, redhead!

Show us a miracle!

Keep at it, redhead dude!

I'm not "redhead"! I'm Reki!

And you'd better remember that!

Impossible.

Me? Trip up?

Where is it?

Where is my board?

ADAM is so pathetic!

Hey now, are you serious?

This is...

...me?

This...

...is...

...eternally...

...unforgivable!

It's the redhead!

It's not ADAM?

Seriously?

I will skate together with Langa!
Not to support him, not to cheer him on!

Just a bit more, Reki!

You can win this!

Mr. Ainosuke is going to lose?

ADAM is coming!

But if he's that far behind...

Unforgivable... Unforgivable... Unforgivable...

Unforgivable!

My wheels!

You...

...worthless nobody!

What a guy!

Hurry, Reki! He's coming in!

The damage from when I crashed...

Please last long enough for me!

Just a little bit more!

ADAM won?

You did good, redhead!

--"Reki"! His name's Reki!
--That was moving, Reki!

--Reki! Reki! Reki!
--I was the winner...

Me!

He's not moving!

Reki!

Are you okay? Reki!

Skating really is super fun, after all!

Skating is really fun!

You had us getting nervous.

I guess I'll alter my assessment of you.

Not bad for a slime!

I...

...was mistaken.

Attempting to take skateboarding
away from Mr. Ainosuke...

What I really needed to do was make
Mr. Ainosuke love skateboarding once more.

This ain't good.

Stop it. The beef is already over.

JOE said to me before...
"Don't ever end up by yourself."

You really think that a nobody like you
successfully fought back like that?

Step aside! I will deal with you next!

About the beef with SNOW...
I'm going to forfeit.

What?

He is the most suited for you...

...to regain your love.

You said that I was all by myself?

That's correct.

I am the only one who exists in my world.

However, there will be a second one soon.

We shall fall together...

...because...

...we are going to become ADAM and EVE!
