[bunniefuu]

Dodgeball, the fiercest
combative ball sport in history!

It gave rise to numerous legends,

and now a new tale
will soon join their ranks!

Hiyah!

DODGE

"Flaming Dodgeball Girl Danko"

Honey Homing Shot!

Rin-chan!

Honey sh**ting Star!

Nope, can't do it!

There's that Honey magic!

Honey awakened her super powers again!

I'll find the secret

behind your trick!

- "Rainy Showdown! Danko Awakens!"

- Rainy Showdown! Danko Awakens!

Honey! Honey! Honey!

Honey, show us another wicked move!

You're seriously amazing!

Tamagawa's witch is proving
to be quite an obstacle.

Allow me to handle her, My Lady.

What's the plan, Moa?

Her technique was nothing
short of impressive.

Yes, she has neat tricks.

Ones that no one but me can work out.

Too bad for her that
my spiders saw everything.

What looked like teleportation

was made possible by
electric roller skates.

The propulsion and changing
trajectory of the ball that hit Rin

was the work of a stealth drone!

She then had her drones project images
to mislead Urara so she could k*ll her.

I was right about her being useless.

After all her training,
she still turned to her robots.

Honey-san!

Honey's Homing Shot took two players out.

But they still had substitute players,

so Saint Arrows' inner field
remains the same.

Meanwhile, we only have
Danko-chan and Honey-chan left.

You mean...

It's not looking good for us!

What should I do?

Exposing her cheating
will seal Saint Arrows' victory!

However, what my mistress wants
is a one-on-one against Danko-sama.

Ergo, I'll have to fight fire with fire.

Piko.

What's up with her?

Everything I do, I do for Peiko-sama!

Sh-She's floating?!

Spider essence doping complete!

You'll have to go through me next!

Honey-san, unless you seek
to be a loner again,

come at me like your life depends on it!

Honey Meteorite!

Whoa!

She stopped it?!

A-Analysis!

My turn!

There's no place for insignificant pests!
Go back to your hive and stay there!

Spider Lasso Shot!

Honey!

Honey-chan!

Honey!

She caught the ball!

Incredible... Just incredible!

Honey-san!

Good catch, but you're not
in any state to continue.

D-Danko-shan...

Ch-Ch-Ch-ch*nk-chan.

Mochiko-san...

Suzy-san...

I'll keep on fighting for my friends!

You still had another
trick up your sleeve!

Honey Slingshot!

N-Not bad!

Moa-san's been k*lled!

I did it!

Honey!

Honey!

Danko-shan... Please save...
the dodgeball chub...

Honey!

Honey-san is unable
to continue due to injury!

Danko-kun! We're nearly
down to the two of us!

I'm so eager to get started!

Oh, it's on!

I want to keep playing dodgeball
with the friends I made!

To do so, I'll have to win
and keep the club going!

The jury is still out on whether
you're worthy of our mistress.

Time to find out once and for all.

Watch out, Danko!

They are two of Saint
Arrows' best players.

Can you defeat them?

Whip of Judgement!

Rolling Elbow Toss!

That shot has a k*ller spin
and crazy power to boot!

Danko-san!

Sh-She only used one hand?!

My Dad's ba*ls are way better than yours.

H-How can this be?!

Danko-chan's been playing catch with
her dad's grave every morning!

Right then.

Here I come!

Since you're so proud of your spin,

I'll send you whirling!

Gravewrecker Tornado!

Akari-san and Sayo-san
were caught in a double k*ll!

Danko-sama is perfectly qualified
to face our mistress.

No objections here.

Danko-kun, we're finally alone!

How I've waited for this moment!

We're both sopping wet now!

I say we make every second count!

Danko-kun, our time has come.

You have no idea
how much I've dreamt of this!

Peiko!

I'm so happy!

This is such fun!

My heart is ready to
burst with excitement!

I've never felt this way before!

There's no one better to give
my first time to than you!

We shall ascend to
greater heights together!

Why is Peiko so obsessed with Danko?

Their rivalry has been set in stone.

How so?

It's a kind of bond they
inherited from their parents.

It also rained back when my daddy
and Danpei-sama squared off.

There's a unique way to play
dodgeball in the rain, Danpei-kun.

What'd you say?!

You're so cool, Daddy!

The water blocked you from sight!

Hyper Diving Shot!

My special move created a wall
of water when it bounced,

and having to chase the ball to follow
with a toss made it extra complicated.

And yet...

Wow! Danpei-sama caught your ball!

It didn't matter that Danpei-kun's
hands were injured.

He instantly thought to cushion
the impact with his protector.

Isn't he amazing?

He is! He's so amazing!

If only I had a rival like Danpei-sama!

Oh, but you do.

Your eternal rival is Danko Ichigeki-kun!

I dedicated every day of my life to
dodgeball in the seven years that followed!

All to have the ultimate match
with my eternal rival, Danko-kun!

Such wholehearted devotion...

Her wish is about to come true.

That's so touching!

My pining only grew stronger over time.

I want you to respond
to my feelings, Danko-kun!

Damn, she's down real bad.

I has a sinking feeling she was.

Oh dear...

Let's go, Danko-kun!

She slammed it down?!

What the heck?!

She used that move!

The water's caught in the spin!

C'mon!

Danko!

Ki— No k*ll!

It was only water that
struck her, not the ball.

That's insane! It was enough
to send her flying!

She's finished.

Danko-shan!

Hang in there, Danko!

Get up, Danko-chan!

Don't force yourself if you can't!

M-My Lady?

She must be trembling with joy.

This is not on, Danko-kun!

You have to catch the ball!

How could you be knocked back
when it never hit you?!

You were supposed to be my eternal rival!

I'm so disappointed in you!

I won't stand for this gross betrayal!

You let not only me,
but my daddy down as well!

For that, you must pay the price.

I'll teach you a lesson
you'll never forget!

How long will you sit on the ground?

Don't disappoint me any more
than you already have!

Danko did nothing to deserve this!

That's how strongly she feels for her.

Her love is starting
to turn into hate! Hooray!

Danko!

Dad?

You have to go all out
even when you're spent!

Give her everything you've got!

Danko-chan!

I have to do this for my friends!

I have to do this for Dad's club!

I can't afford to lose!

Gravewrecker Tornado!

Danko-chan!

She still has the strength to go on!

She's hitting her with her special move!

No one could possibly stop that ball!

I've already seen that one.

What?!

In one hand?!

This... is simply not good enough!

Good grief... That's your special move?

You... You...

You have to be stronger than that!

My Lady?

Why did she throw it that way?

She's telling her to try again.

I know that look!

You want something stronger?

No one move a muscle!

Danko-chan's a walking hazard right now!

A hazard?

You mean we should stay still, too?

ch*nk!

I'm gonna pound her so hard!

Run for it, Peiko-san! She could k*ll you!

Is she recalling what happened before?!

Here I go, ch*nk!

C-Caught it!

I'm not done!

You can try, but you won't win!

I can catch your ba*ls at full power now!

Caught it!

Is that all you've got?

I'm still good to go.

No need to hold back.

More... Go ahead and put
more strength into your toss!

Danko-chan?

You want something stronger?

Danko-chan...

I'm sorry, ch*nk!

I can't remember what went down!

Here's what happened. ch*nk removed
the limiters holding you back.

Just like how Danpei's rivals
helped unlock his potential.

This power manifests whenever you're
pushed to the limit by a strong opponent!

You're going extremely all out!

Go all out even when you're spent!

A true friend is someone you can
confront with all your might!

Friend... friend... friend...

Dad!

I never knew...

Is that what's happening to Danko?

This is a repeat of two years ago?

That's right.

Extreme Danko

Fantastic...

Finally, you're giving me what I want.

Come on, Danko-kun!

Give me a taste of heaven!

Yes... This is it!

Danko!

And ch*nk's!

And Peiko's!

- "All-Out Bonus Segment!"

- All-Out Bonus Segment!

"Who are Saint Arrows?"

What are you doing here?!

Today we're introducing the Saint
Arrows Academy Dodgeball Club.

Naturally, this calls for my presence
as Taiga Nikaido's daughter!

No one invited you, though.

Don't mind her. We'll keep going.

The Saint Arrows Academy Dodgeball Club.

The academy was still new
in our fathers' time,

but eventually earned its prestige
thanks to Taiga-san's dodgeball club.

Dad called them a super duper strong team!

Their regulars were called the Six Seraphim,
known for their exceptional teamwork.

Of note is the Saint Arrows classic
high-speed passing formation.

It's unique in how it lets them
toy with opponents, wear them down,

and even thoroughly torment them!

Is that the thing Peiko's maids did?

Correct. We carried on the tradition
while powering it up for the new age!

That's not all that was passed down.

Jyuri Igarashi-san's dad, Gou Igarashi,
was known for his Axe Shot!

His mighty shot was passed down
from father to daughter.

It sure was powerful, but it was no match
for the Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

That was what lit a fire in my soul.

Much like how our fathers fought
with everything they had,

it's now our turn to devote
ourselves to our showdown!

How I... How I've waited so long for this!

Zoinks! A g-g-g-ghost!

Danko-kun!

See you next week...

"Special Episode! A Day in Saint Arrows"

I'm going all out!

Piko, piko, piko.

I am Saint Arrows' observer,

Moa Kusunoki!

I am always observing the club
of my mistress' rival, Danko-sama.

Not just them!

My Saint Arrows teammates
are no exception either!

Jyuri-senpai! Lemme wash your back!

I'll wash Jyuri-senpai!

I'll wash Urara.

I'll wash Rin!

And I'll wash Akari.

I scrub your back, and you scrub mine!

A mutual washing formation?!

I must say...

Those three have outrageous chests!

Attention, ladies.

These are some very hard French soap bars.

Are you ready?

Yes!

Moa... You've seen far enough.

Stop hiding and come out!

But... But... I'm Saint Arrows' observer!

We know, we know.

Raise your arms!

Danpei-sama...

Danko-kun...

Next time, on Flaming
Dodgeball Girl Danko:

The Battle Concludes!
Onward, Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

I'm going all out!
