01x21 - Let's Get Started

Post by bunniefuu »

RIKO: Say, Hyuga-kun,

RIKO: should we go to the beach during summer vacation?

HYUGA: Yeah, the beach is nice.

RIKO: Or maybe the mountains?

HYUGA: Yeah, mountains are good, too.

RIKO: Hey, are you even listening?

HYUGA: Hm? I don't care where we go,

HYUGA: as long as we can practice hard.

ALL: Don't decide on the hell we're going to like a couple!

EpTitle,EPTITLE: Let's Get Started

RIKO: This year, at the beginning and end of summer vacation,

RIKO: we'll be taking two trips, to the beach and to the mountains!

ALL: They chose both!

HYUGA: The qualifiers for the Winter Cup

HYUGA: start right after summer vacation ends!

HYUGA: It's important we use this vacation as effectively as possible.

HYUGA: Let's give it everything we have!

HYUGA: Dismissed!

ALL: Good work!

RIKO: Sorry.

RIKO: I have to go talk to the teachers about our training camps.

HYUGA: Okay.

KAGAMI: Ow.

KUROKO: Sorry.

KAGAMI: That hurt. Look where you're walking!

KUROKO: Kagami-kun, please don't stagger around like that.

KAGAMI: It's his fault for hanging around my feet.

KAGAMI: Hey, get away from me!

KUROKO: It seems we'll be able to take Number with us on our trips.

KUROKO: The guesthouse will allow it.

KAGAMI: Don't bring him! He's annoying!

KUROKO: Kagami-kun, you're so mean.

KAGAMI: Get away from me!

KOGANEI: They've started talking to each other again,

KOGANEI: but they seem to be arguing a lot more.

TSUCHIDA: Are they okay?

KIYOSHI: They're fine.

KOGANEI: But they didn't pass to each other during practice today.

KIYOSHI: It's just for now.

KIYOSHI: They'll pass again in the winter.

HYUGA: One more time, everyone! Gather 'round!

HYUGA: We're currently facing grave danger.

HYUGA: In order to make two trips this year,

HYUGA: we chose cheap lodgings.

HYUGA: We'll have to make our own food,

HYUGA: which is where our problem lies.

HYUGA: Coach will be

HYUGA: cooking for us!

FURIHATA: What? Is that bad?

HYUGA: Of course it's bad!

HYUGA: At the Touou game,

HYUGA: you saw her honey-soaked lemons!

HYUGA: So...

KIYOSHI: That's not cooking anymore.

ALL: You mean it's inedible?

FUKUDA: Why don't we just cook for ourselves?

HYUGA: I wish we could, but...

IZUKI: Practice is so brutal,

IZUKI: no one can move at night.

KOGANEI: Just thinking about it...

TSUCHIDA: Koga!

ALL: We might die!

Chalk,TEXT: Training Camp Menu Tasting

FURIHATA: A tasting?

HYUGA: We can't just tell her to practice because she sucks.

KAWAHARA: By the way, can you guys cook?

IZUKI: A little.

KOGANEI: Pretty much anything.

HYUGA: Nope!

IZUKI: Mitobe's probably the best. What about you, Kuroko?

KUROKO: No one makes a meaner boiled egg than me.

RIKO: It's ready!

RIKO: Curry!

ALL: Curry?!

IZUKI: Those are whole vegetables!

KOGANEI: What was that tapping sound?

KOGANEI: What was that?

RIKO: Just ignore what it looks like.

RIKO: It should taste fine!

RIKO: It's just curry, anyway!

HYUGA: Okay, then...

ALL: Thanks for the food.

ALL: It's so bad!

TSUCHIDA: The rice is soft like porridge!

KOGANEI: These crisp uncooked vegetables are like a salad!

KOGANEI: And the meat is raw!

IZUKI: And the sauce is mysteriously bitter and sour!

HYUGA: This is a m*ssacre of flavor!

RIKO: Let me know if you want more.

ALL: She made a whole pot of it!

RIKO: It wasn't very good, was it?

HYUGA: Thanks for the food.

HYUGA: It tasted good, but it was a little spicy.

HYUGA: I'm going to get something to drink.

KIYOSHI: It had a unique flavor, but it was pretty good.

KIYOSHI: It had the most important ingredient.

KIYOSHI: It had love.

KIYOSHI: But you may have gone wrong somewhere with your cooking.

KIYOSHI: Why don't you try making it again?

RIKO: Okay.

ALL: What men! You guys are such men!

IZUKI: Hyuga?

IZUKI: Hyuga!

KIYOSHI: Can anyone teach Riko how to make it?

KOGANEI: Kiyoshi, you're dripping some kind of weird sweat!

KOGANEI: Mitobe, then...

TSUCHIDA: Mitobe?

KOGANEI: He's gone!

TSUCHIDA: So, who's going to teach her? Me or Izuki?

KAGAMI: Here.

FURIHATA: What? This looks delicious!

KOGANEI: Give me a taste!

KOGANEI: It's so good!

KAWAHARA: Kagami, how?

KAGAMI: I live by myself.

ALL: This is so good.

ALL: What is this?

RIKO: Kagami-kun!

RIKO: Teach me how to make curry!

KAGAMI: Sure, but I'm a strict teacher!

IZUKI: Good! It looks good!

KOGANEI: It's curry! It's perfect!

RIKO: I got it this time! Dig in!

ALL: Thanks for the food!

RIKO: You're kidding! Why?

KOGANEI: We don't know either.

TSUCHIDA: What is this?

IZUKI: The only thing I can say is...

ALL: It's as disgusting as ever!

KOGANEI: Kagami, didn't you make it with her?

KAGAMI: I did. I even tasted it.

KOGANEI: Then why?

KAWAHARA: Coach's inability to cook is beyond human understanding.

KOGANEI: But it's almost amazing.

KUROKO: It's good.

IZUKI: Kuroko, that's enough. Don't do anything crazy!

KUROKO: No, it really is good.

KIYOSHI: Did you...

KIYOSHI: Kuroko, did you serve yourself?

KUROKO: Yes. They forgot about me, so...

KIYOSHI: Riko, could you plate another serving?

RIKO: Sure.

RIKO: First, you put the rice on the plate.

RIKO: Then, before you add the sauce...

KOGANEI: Has she been putting cheese on there?

KOGANEI: That's some serious cooking.

KOGANEI: Hey! What is that?!

RIKO: It's protein and vitamin C powder.

IZUKI: Th-That's it!

ALL: It's normal!

RIKO: Then say it tastes good!

IZUKI: I smell the beach.

IZUKI: We must reach it quickly!

HYUGA: Izuki, shut up.

KOGANEI: Let's swim!

HYUGA: This is a training camp, you idiot!

KAGETORA: Brats...

KAGETORA: Lay a hand on my daughter,

KAGETORA: and I'll k*ll you.

ALL: Yes, sir!

RIKO: Thanks, Papa!

HYUGA: The coach's dad...

KOGANEI: He's as scary as ever.

IZUKI: So, what are those?

RIKO: My dad brought them here for me.

HYUGA: Don't tell me we're going to...

RIKO: We're going to play basketball.

FUKUDA: What?

RIKO: Imagine the team's power as an equation.

RIKO: If the individuals' numbers are low,

RIKO: we'll never make a big number.

RIKO: What Seirin needs now

RIKO: is to improve the skills of each individual player.

RIKO: But don't get the wrong idea.

RIKO: We're not creating a team of individual strengths,

RIKO: but increasing each one of the powers we combine as a team.

RIKO: Seirin wins as a team.

RIKO: sh**ting, passing, dribbling...

RIKO: In order to improve all of your actions,

RIKO: we have to start with the foundation of your legs and hips.

RIKO: That's why we're practicing on the beach.

KAGAMI: This is going to make us twice as tired.

RIKO: We'll start by doing three times the normal amount of practice.

RIKO: Let's get this training camp from hell started!

KAGAMI: I can't move at all!

HYUGA: Over here!

HYUGA: Kuroko, you can't bounce your passes!

IZUKI: Since we can't dribble, we have to make plays by passing.

HYUGA: Is dunking the only thing you can do, you moron?

KAGAMI: Damn it.

RIKO: Are you okay?

KIYOSHI: Yeah, I'm fine.

KIYOSHI: This will be perfect for whipping my body back into shape.

RIKO: Good work!

RIKO: We'll move to the gym in the evening!

HYUGA: Okay.

HYUGA: I can get a way better grip than I usually do.

IZUKI: Huh? It feels different than usual.

IZUKI: Is it easier?

IZUKI: Is it my legs? They aren't flopping around.

KIYOSHI: Everyone's movements have improved.

KIYOSHI: We've started focusing more of our strength

KIYOSHI: into the base of our big toes,

KIYOSHI: the most important part of stepping on the ground.

KIYOSHI: This must have been the real reason we practiced on the beach.

KOGANEI: You should have gone for a dunk there.

KAWAHARA: Was the timing off?

HYUGA: If anything, wasn't it perfect?

HYUGA: Did he hold back so he wouldn't jump too high?

KAGAMI: Ow, ow!

KAGAMI: You're doing it too strong, you idiot!

KUROKO: Sorry.

KAGAMI: Are you thinking about something?

KAGAMI: Is it about your new style?

KUROKO: I'm a little concerned.

KUROKO: I don't have any ideas yet.

KIYOSHI: I feel rejuvenated.

RIKO: You sound like an old man.

KIYOSHI: Riko, have you seen Hyuga?

RIKO: He just went outside with a ball.

KIYOSHI: Really? He's unbelievable like that.

RIKO: What do you think of this training camp?

KIYOSHI: What do I think?

KIYOSHI: Are you not satisfied with something?

RIKO: No, but...

KIYOSHI: You're doing the right thing.

KIYOSHI: This practice will improve everyone's fundamentals.

KIYOSHI: If there's a problem, it'll be with the players.

KIYOSHI: If there's something we need to improve the team even more,

KIYOSHI: it's for each player to understand his role.

KIYOSHI: You could call it establishing a style.

KIYOSHI: When you're trying to learn a new technique,

KIYOSHI: first you have to understand yourself.

KIYOSHI: But Kuroko and the other second years haven't managed that yet.

RIKO: I hate how you act like you know everything.

KIYOSHI: What?

RIKO: Seriously, why didn't you become the captain?

RIKO: I don't have any complaints about Hyuga-kun,

RIKO: but you're suited to the job, too.

KIYOSHI: Hyuga's a better fit.

KIYOSHI: You push them, and Hyuga pulls them.

KIYOSHI: That's the best way.

KIYOSHI: It's why I asked him to do it.

RIKO: Anyway, you're saying we can't keep going at this rate, right?

KIYOSHI: If only we had some kind of spark.

RIKO: A spark...

KAGAMI: My body hurts so much.

KAGAMI: Do you do that on purpose?

KUROKO: Good morning.

KAGAMI: And your hair!

TAKAO: This place is a dump.

TAKAO: Are we really staying here?

TAKAO: I feel like I'm going to see a ghost.

MIDORIMA: Shut up, Takao.

TAKAO: What?

KUROKO: Hello.

KUROKO: It's good to see you again.

MIDORIMA: What are you doing here?

KAGAMI: I could ask you the same thing!

TAKAO: Shutoku has a long tradition

TAKAO: of coming here to train together.

MIDORIMA: And here you are enjoying your vacation!

MIDORIMA: What's with the tan?

KAGAMI: We're not on vacation!

MIDORIMA: What?

RIKO: Hey!

RIKO: We're all waiting for you in the cafeteria.

MIDORIMA: What is your school, Kuroko?

KUROKO: It's Seirin High School.

MIDORIMA: That's not what I meant!

RIKO: Huh? Shutoku?

Welcome Seirin,SIGN: Welcome Seirin High School

Welcome Shutoku,SIGN: Welcome Shutoku High School

RIKO: Starting today, instead of holding

RIKO: our scheduled practice in the gym,

RIKO: we're going to be practicing with Shutoku High!

RIKO: Kagami-kun, hold on.

RIKO: Go buy drinks for everyone.

KAGAMI: What?

RIKO: Run on the beach to the convenience store meters away!

KAGAMI: Why?

RIKO: They'll probably be heavy, so you can bring them one at a time.

KAGAMI: One at a time?

RIKO: Everyone's practicing, so hurry!

KAGAMI: How many laps is that?

IZUKI: It really is amazing.

IZUKI: Everyone's movements have improved.

TAKAO: Can he go one-on-one?

MIDORIMA: You've come to make some ridiculous plays.

KUROKO: They're not ridiculous.

KUROKO: I just want to be stronger.

MIDORIMA: Don't make me laugh.

MIDORIMA: I don't know what you felt after losing to Aomine,

MIDORIMA: but we already know your limits.

MIDORIMA: I thought you played knowing them.

MIDORIMA: Did you really think something would happen if you tried harder?

MIDORIMA: A man who cannot play by himself cannot improve by himself.

OTSUBO: Kagami's running outside.

OTSUBO: Are they hiding something?

NAKATANI: No.

NAKATANI: Kagami's strength is his jumps

NAKATANI: that increase in height with every one he does.

NAKATANI: Even during a game.

NAKATANI: They're powered not by spirit or will, but something physical.

NAKATANI: She must have realized what it is and is now training it.

NAKATANI: She's an impressive coach.

NAKATANI: On top of that...

NAKATANI: Kiyoshi Teppei...

NAKATANI: A formidable opponent has returned.

TAKAO: I feel rejuvenated.

TAKAO: How long are you going to sulk, anyway?

TAKAO: It's starting to get annoying.

TAKAO: Kuroko's normal plays are nothing special.

TAKAO: He's got his unfair misdirection, though.

TAKAO: He should use his misdirection when he breaks away.

TAKAO: An invisible dribble would be unstoppable.

MIDORIMA: It's impossible.

MIDORIMA: Do you know why Kuroko only makes tap passes?

MIDORIMA: Because he cannot direct attention away from the ball.

MIDORIMA: During a game, you must never take your eyes off the ball.

MIDORIMA: In other words,

MIDORIMA: it has more presence than anything else on the court.

MIDORIMA: That is why Kuroko never holds the ball.

MIDORIMA: Unable to use his misdirection while holding the ball,

MIDORIMA: it will not be long before someone steals it from him.

MIDORIMA: However, conversely,

MIDORIMA: if there were a way to overcome his weakness,

MIDORIMA: he may show terrifying improvement.

TAKAO: That's great, but

TAKAO: you've been talking to a lion.

RIKO: I feel refreshed.

KAGAMI: I just finished shopping.

RIKO: What? Just now?

KAGAMI: No one was in the gym when I got back.

KAGAMI: I'm sure these weren't meant for drinking, but here.

RIKO: Did you buy drinks for Shutoku as well as us?

RIKO: How many laps did you run?

KAGAMI: I'm so tired.

KAGAMI: Time for a bath.

RIKO: He did way more than I asked him to do!

RIKO: We won't see the results for a while,

RIKO: but if he keeps training like this,

RIKO: he'll become an unbelievable player!

MAN: What?

KAGAMI: The bath's already closed?

KAGAMI: Is it?

Preview,TEXT: Preview

KUROKO: Good morning.

TAKAO: Morning...

TAKAO: Your hair is ridiculous!

KUROKO: It seems to get messed up easily in my sleep.

TAKAO: That's still way too much.

TAKAO: Why don't you wear a night cap like Shin-chan?
