01x05 - In'nen no ketchaku! Susume-kyû kawa tôkyû-bu!

[bunniefuu]

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!

"Flaming Dodgeball Girl Danko"

Onward, Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!"

- The Battle Concludes!
Onward, Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

Yes... This is it!

Peiko was blown off her feet!

She can't possibly handle the might
of Danko's extreme ba*ls!

Backflip Shot!

Gah, she sent Danko-san's ball back
with a vertical spin!

My mistress specialises
in countering other players!

She is as strong as the
attacks she returns!

It's low!

She stopped it with her feet?!

Peiko's right at the
edge of the center-line!

Danko-kun.

I want to feel your fire
as close as can be!

There's no way they can
go at it at that distance!

More! Give me more, Danko-kun!

U-Unbelievable!

That's some insane close quarters
rapid-fire dodgeball!

Excellent, Danko-kun!
This is the best match ever!

I have no doubt our fathers
felt the same way!

Dad!

Your eternal rival is Danko Ichigeki-kun!

I will be your ultimate rival
and emerge victorious!

Peiko's pushing her back!
She won't stand a chance!

She will!

Huh?

Danko-chan never loses at dodgeball!

Never.

See ya, Danko!

Get a load of Danko's daddy!

He's always carrying
that dirty ball! Lame!

Cut it out!

The breaks aren't working!

Tamagawa Kindergarten

Danko's daddy saved us!

Mommy!

Dad!

Wow!

Whoa, Danko's daddy's so cool!

He's awesome!

My dad's amazing!

I'm his daughter!

No matter how powerful my opponent is...

Dodgeball is the one thing
I will never lose at!

You can do it, Danko-chan!

Go, go, Danko!

Just don't push yourself too hard!

Peiko-sama!

Who...

Will be the winner?

Peiko... She's a freak,
but also an amazing player!

I'll put everything I
have into my next move!

You're hoping to end this, aren't you?

I couldn't ask for more!

Gravewrecker Sonic Shot!

Bravo! This is better than I expected!

She's spinning on the spot?!

Her ultimate counter technique is coming!

I'll give you a taste of
your own power, Danko-kun!

No way... She's returning her attack?!

What happened to Danko-chan?

Danko-chan!

Danko-shan's ran out of fuel!

She's a sitting duck!

Death Roll Shot!

No way?!

Her...

Her fingers slipped?!

My Lady!

Huh? What's happening?!

She failed to return the full
force of Danko-chan's ball!

Oh, uh, what?

k*lled! The match is over!

Saint Arrows win!

I can't believe I slipped up...

That was impressive, Danko-kun!

Peiko...

Thanks, Peiko.

I've never had an all-out
battle like this before!

We're eternal rivals, after all!

My Lady!

Danko-chan!

Danko-chan!

My Lady!

"Flaming Dodgeball Girl Danko"

Get a hold of yourself, Danko-chan!

She's all out even when she's depressed!

W-We lost...

I won't approve of your club
unless you win against Saint Arrows!

We just have to challenge them again!

We can't afford to be down
over a loss or two!

Our dodgeball club is still new!

T-True! The seven of us
will have to train again!

Yeah, about that...

Uh-huh...

What's up, guys?

It's crystal clear that we're
only dragging you down.

We learnt the hard way how big
a gap there is between our skills.

Wha?!

Instead!

From now on...

- New Tamagawa Dodgeball Club

- We'll support you
guys from the sidelines

- as the dodgeball club's cheer squad!

- Yeah! We'll go all out cheering you!

What?!

Go! Go! Danko-san!

You can do it, dodgeball club!

B-But that means...

We're short on members again.

Well, they always were
meant to be temporary.

It's not nice to force them.

So what? We just have
to fill the vacancies!

We'll have two new members in no time!

Suzy-senpai...

Let's get some awesome players
and show that rich girl who's better!

That's right!

Next time, we will defeat Saint Arrows!

Yeah!

Looks like we'll need a surefire way
to recruit new members!

A surefire way?

How?

We turn to the Tamagawa
Dodgeball Club's tradition.

The Thousand Dodgeballs!

All you have to do is catch
or dodge the ba*ls!

Alright, guys! Challenge yourselves!

Challenge?!

You're not giving us a choice!

Hey, get back here!

Why?!

We're your cheer squad, remem-

The point is to not be hit, yes?

Sh-She dodged them all?!

We're the true dodgeball club!

She caught three ba*ls at once?!

Dodgeball Club

Th-They caught 'em all!

Who are they?!

We are Tamagawa's rightful dodgeball club!

And we're here to take out you phonies!

The rightful...

Dodgeball club?

I'm the vice-captain,

Hayami Hiura!

"Hako Mikasa"
I'm the captain, Hako Mikasa!

We have the headmistress' approval!

We ask that you impostors clear the field!

"OFFICIAL Tamagawa Combined
School Dodgeball Club"

Why, hello there headmistress.

Welcome to the dodgeball club.

Is it only you two?

No one else could keep up with us.

How may we help you?

I'm sure you've heard of how

some primary schoolers started
an unofficial dodgeball club.

Danko Ichigeki's team?

I heard they fought on
a par with Saint Arrows.

Oh, did they ever!
They were quite the tenacious bunch!

Ahem!

Dodgeball is a dangerous sport.

As the official dodgeball club,
I want you to make them understand that.

I'm sure they will reconsider
after being put in their place.

Very well.

We will teach them a lesson
they'll surely never forget.

We're the official club!

Those posers are in for a butt-kicking!

How very assuring.

What's wrong?
Did seeing real talent scare ya?

Will you phonies do
the right thing and leave,

or will you attempt our official tryout?

What?!

Your official tryout?

Come to think of it,
they've been formally approved.

Joining them means we're good to go, too.

But it wouldn't be our club anymore.

They only have two members.

We could have them join us instead.

No.

I say we pretend to join them,
then take over!

Good one, ch*nk! You're so smart!

Okie-dokie! We'll join your club!

Really?

You'll quit being phonies
to join us? That's the spirit!

But our test isn't easy!

Sh-She's fast!

Tempest Shot!

Danko-chan, a low ball's
coming from behind!

That's one down!

There's no catching Hayami's ba*ls
when she aims for a blind spot!

That was a fluke! Eat this!

N-No way!

Hayami.

What is this sorry display?

Think of how weak you're making us look!

Fine, it's up to me to demonstrate
the majesty of dodgeball!

I'll have no problem catching
whatever you throw at me!

I want all five of you to do your worst!

Th-That's some aura she has!

Come on guys, we're going all out!

Okay!

Gravewrecker Tornado!

Cannonball Shot!

Miraculous Nasty Ball!

Honey Homing Shot!

Super Strong Special Change-Up!

Isn't that a regular slow ball?

What?!

Senpai!

Hayami's a tough girl. She'll survive!

She's always prepared to face danger!

Dodgeball is serious business, you see.

Dodgeball is not just
some playground game!

- Dodgeball means w*r!

- Dodgeball

It's the fiercest combative
ball sport in history!

Those were my daddy's words.

Your daddy's?

Mikasa and Hiura...

Could it be?!

The legendary teammates?!

"Takashi Hiura" "Taisei Mikasa"

Looks like our time has come, Hako!

Yes, we will make our daddies'
dream a reality.

Hako, the glorious Tamagawa
Dodgeball Club is in your hands!

This was the very reason Daddy's company
gave generous donations to the school.

All so the headmistress
would sign off on an official club.

As long as Danko-san and her friends join,

the headmistress won't be able
to object any further.

We still gotta test 'em, though!

There's no point if their
abilities aren't the real deal!

We have to uphold the
reputation of the club.

The five of you met our expectations
with flying colours!

As such, we approve of you
joining the official dodgeball club!

That brings us to seven members!

We're a step closer to bringing
the Tamagawa dodgeball club for real,

just like I promised my daddy I'd do!

Y-You mean you're doing
this for your dad?!

So am I!

-There was no need to hijack their club!
-Hooray! Hooray!

We're the greatest team! Let's go all out!

In moderation.

H-Headmistress!

This was not how it should have went!

Headmistress!

-We did it, ch*nk!
-Mind you, this is only the first step.

Our daddies' dream is to have
the club restored to its former glory.

What glory?

Being the best in the country!

Meaning we have to win tournaments!

Awesome!

Wasn't the Super Dodgeball Championship
banned for being too unsafe?

Really?

It exists unofficially!

The most dangerous
sports tournament in all of Japan!

Unofficially?!

It's where all the monsters
across the country gather.

They call it...

"Super Secret Dodgeball Championship!"
The Super Secret Dodgeball Championship!

S-Super Secret Dodgeball Championship!

Monsters from across the country...

Sounds like one heck of battle!

Playing on a national level
is not for the faint of heart!

So what?!

We'll be the winners
no matter who we're up against!

Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

We're gonna be national champions!

Yeah!

Danko!

And ch*nk's!

- "All-Out Bonus Segment!"

- All-Out Bonus Segment!

Today we're introducing
the Tamagawa Primary Dodgeball Club!

By the time our fathers joined
the club, it was already a contender

for best in the prefecture!

The schoolyard statue was erected to
commemorate them becoming national champions!

Training with the club was what made
our dads the awesome players they are!

It seems Danko-chan's daddy
was quite the troublemaker.

Still, going all out against my daddy
deepened their bonds,

and earned themselves
recognition as members of the club!

Uncle Chinnen is the best friend
Dad could ever have!

When they first joined, it was the captain,
Mikasa, who gave them strict coaching.

He's our captain Hako Mikasa's daddy.

Seriously?! They don't look related.

She takes after her mommy.

His mindset was what
influenced Danko-chan's daddy.

That's it, Dad! Go all out!

Takashi Hiura-san, the vice-captain,
is Hayami Hiura-senpai's daddy.

He lead the Four Kings
of Tamagawa as a player

with one of the fastest
ba*ls in the country!

I heard he often butted heads with Dad,

but he was a teammate you
could trust your back with!

Yes, they acknowledged
each other's abilities

and worked together to
face their opponents.

What are Dad's teammates
up to these days, anyway?

Apart from the Four Kings, Tamagawa
Primary also had the Seven Dodge Fighters.

Holy moly, that's a wicked title!

Where are you going, Danko-chan?!

I'm off to play catch with them!

Does she even know where they are?

We'll be going all out next time as well!

Next time, on Flaming
Dodgeball Girl Danko:

A New Opponent at the Joint Training Camp!

I'm going all out!
