01x08 - Chôjô taiketsu! Kyojin vs Kyojin!

[bunniefuu]

Dodgeball, the fiercest
combative ball sport in history!

It gave rise to numerous legends,
and now a new tale...

Hiyah!

- DODGE

- will soon join their ranks!

"Flaming Dodgeball Girl Danko"

We Black Armors prioritise
power above all!

I wanted to prove my strength to
the Captain while wearing my weights!

They've been playing dodgeball
with those weights on?!

You embarrassed me!

You better be ready
for what's coming, shitheads!

Loose ball!

What is that?!

Don't be afraid! Ye aren't alone!

That's just smoke and mirrors.

We'll show 'em a real titan, aye!

Grounded Docking Formation!

Cool! They're just as gigantic!

Show them who's boss, Tosa Attackers!

Here we go!

- "A Superpowered Clash of the Titans!"

- A Superpowered Clash of the Titans!

We're witnessing
an unprecedented game of dodgeball!

It's a ferocious clash of the titans!

There's no missing a target that large!

You haven't seen how fast I am
without my weights!

Now it's my turn to attack!

How does something that
big move so quickly?

We'll catch that ball, aye!

What a shame! Their catch went out of
bounds, so the Black Armors get the ball!

You okay, Runa?!

I'm still good!

I won't be able to keep
this up much longer.

The Tosa Attackers
sustained significant damage!

Hang in there, team!

Aye!

I'll end this with my next move.

Remember that you're
part of the Black Armors!

On your feet, Runa!

Yes, Captain!

The Black Armors have
no need for the weak.

Yes, Captain!

You got this, Runa.

You're doing well.

You're still good to go!

It's too soon to call it quits!

In order to remain with
my teammates, I must win!

I'll use my ultimate move!

Eat this!

Wh-What the?!

Cyclone Breath!

It's nothing we can't catch!

She destroyed the Tosa
Attackers' formation!

Th-This is the end... We're finished!

Don't give up!

Fight until the very end! I know you can!

You will!

Captain Hako!

Probably...

Do ye really have so much faith in us?!

That's right! We cannae be defeated
as long as we're together!

They caught it!

Yes!

We have a special one for ye!

Gigantic Swing Shot!

Nailed her!

I knew they'd do it.

The Tosa Attackers have turned
the tide with a mighty counterattack!

Runa!

We'll finish the rest o' the Armors off!

The Tosa Attackers have their eyes
set on another k*ll!

My hands are full.

I can't catch that!

She blocked that powerful
shot with one arm!

Sh-She got lucky!

I don't like the look of this.

You did well, Runa.

We'll take it from here.

Change formation!

Grounded Docking Formation, complete!

Listen up!

You better make this worth my while!

What?!

I can't tell what happened!

Did you catch that, ch*nk?!

I was able to when I removed
my glasses to enter the zone.

I cannae believe it!

We didn't even see her throw the ball!

As the monitor shows,

your formation's weakness
lies in the joints.

It's a double k*ll!

You'se be careful, aye?

This is bad! This is very bad!

The Black Armors have racked up
multiple kills in no time!

The Tosa Attackers are now down
to their captain, Ruka Sakamoto!

I cannae believe this!

Your teamwork is your greatest strength?

Pathetic.

A bunch of weaklings banding together
still won't achieve anything!

We aren't pathetic!

What can you possibly do on your own?!

They're bouncing the ball to torment her!

Captain, ye can't go on!

She's right, ye have to forfeit!

The Tosa Attackers'
teamwork is unstoppable!

Nobody will ever bring us down!

I'm not done!

You may lack the skills,
but you certainly have grit!

This is the final shot.
Careful, you might just lose your life!

We Tosa Attackers live
to prove that we're the best!

I'll never forfeit even if it kills me!

All right, then die.

Switch Shot: Thousand Phantom Arms!

I remember that!

She used it before!

She won't survive all that!

Hey! The match isn't over!

Captain Hako!

Relax and become one with me!

You haven't evaded the actual shot!

That must be the real ball!

It's faster than the rest!

They dodged them all!

The Tosa Attackers committed a foul!

Ye saved me, but...

We'll avenge you!

She received outside help.

That means the Black Armors won.

I swear on the good name
of the Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

We challenge you!

And we will defeat you!

defeat you... defeat you...

"Flaming Dodgeball Girl Danko"

I swear on the good name
of the Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

We challenge you!

And we will defeat you!

Way to go, Captain!

I'm sorry for thinking
you were a lousy leader!

Get ready to eat crow!

On account of the Tosa Attackers' foul,

the Black Armors have
secured their victory!

Woe is me! I disqualified you!

How do I make it up to you?!

Think nothing o' it.
We owe ye for saving our captain.

We wouldn't have made it in time, aye.

We'll definitely take them down
in your place!

Easy there!

Aren't you forgetting someone
before you face the Black Armors?

Our next match is between

the US Buffaloes and
the Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

Here are the teams as ranked
by the audience bets.

Ack, we're right at the bottom!

Puh-lease, we're only second?

Famous they may be, the Tamagawa Dodgeball
Club only recently made their comeback.

It's no wonder a team with zero
achievements are ranked dead last!

Damn right! Who'd bet
on a buncha nobodies?

We take these matches seriously!

What's with your getup, anyway?

Don't you girls have uniforms?!

The way things are, you'd be out of
the game without ever facing us!

What'd you say?!

What's that?

She's floating in the air!

Huh?! M-Moa!

I am Saint Arrows' observer.

All footage of today's events
have been sent to Peiko-sama.

The sight of Danko-sama's immodesty
has caused her much grief.

Therefore, I have arrived with special
presents from Peiko-sama!

Presents?!

You'll find them helpful
to compete in top form with.

Wh-What could they be?

No way!

Thanks, Peiko! They're
the best presents ever!

We're moving to the special arena on
the deepest floor for the second match!

What now?!

Is this it?

This is the special arena?!

I can't see a thing!

This is where they're fighting?

That court looks super deadly!

Is this really a dodgeball court?

I don't see any dividing lines.

There are seven ba*ls?

The second match will follow
American rules dodgeball,

in honour of the country that
helped advance the sport!

American rules dodgeball?!

Yessiree!

The USA!

No outer courts here!

As soon as the match begins,

it's a mad rush

for the seven ba*ls in the center!

Whoever has a ball must be positioned
behind the attack line before throwing!

We're in for a ruthless game
where players drop like flies!

This is dodgeball
as pioneered by the Americans!

Death Ball!

American rules dodgeball?

We've pretty much have this in the bag!

But wait, there's more!

We're putting the "death"

in American death ball!

As demonstrated,

a k*ll won't be counted unless you cast
your opponent into the fires of hell!

It melted!

That's real lava?

Our lives are at stake here!

Are you seriously scared?!

I was raised in the
States! I'll handle this!

You're so reliable, Suzy-chan!

We're counting on you!

Susan Cannon is a top-class track and field
athlete with the results to show for it!

Yet the odds are still stacked
against Tamagawa Dodgeball Club.

Yeah? Well, prepare to be proven wrong!

Time to proceed with the match!

Might means right!

They're vicious K*llers
from the land of brute force!

The US Buffaloes!

Their fame is but a thing of the past.

Check out the short ones, plump one,
nerdy one... What is this, a field trip?

They're the Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

What's with that introduction?!

Let the second match begin!

Go, fight!

Go!

The US is number one in everything,
including dodgeball!

We're expected to pick those ba*ls up?!

We won't have any at this rate!

Suzy-senpai!

You're not the only ones who played
American dodgeball since you were kids!

You talk big for someone
with only one ball!

a*tillery Bombardment!

They're striking us at once?!

Stand back, guys!

No way! Our shots are some of
the most powerful there is in the US!

American dodgeball sure brings me back.

I mastered it at nine
and got bored right away!

away... away... away...

The trick is to repel the ball!

Thanks, Suzy-senpai!

This could be fun!

I'll give you a taste
of America's greatest!

Brace yourselves! She's bad news!

There are no stronger ba*ls
in the world than mine!

The Iron Suit is exerting


Are you okay, Zoe?

I can still go!

This seems promising.

America has the world's greatest
economy and military.

We're also the dodgeball champions.

We must always be number one in dodgeball!

Exerting 100 percent resistance!

I show the world... that we're...

number one!

She's exceeded her limits!

Touchdown Shot!

Did she stop it?!

That formidable shot sent her flying!

She's gonna fall!

Danko?!

ch*nk, Honey! You, too?!

Let go before you fall with me!

Mochiko!

I'll save you, Suzy-chan!

Oh, no!

Hah, five birds with one stone!

Bounceback Shot!

Mochiko!

Suzy-chan... Everyone...
It's been so much fun.

Thank you...

Mochiko!

Mochiko has been k*lled!

We have our first player out of the game!

Saved at the cost of your teammate!

Shut your mouth.

It's our turn to send you down there!

It's been a while since our last

All-Out Bonus Segment!

"Records of the Tamagawa Primary
Dodgeball Club's Brutal Battles"

Eek! What is this?!

Seems we're looking back at our
fathers' battles against their rivals.

Why does it have to sound so scary?!

First we have the Tosa Attackers!

They were led by their captain,
Ryuta Sakamoto,

and were known for their
excellent coordination!

The way they play seems weird.

Could this be what I think it is?

Yup! Just like the current Attackers,

they repeatedly pass the ball
before lifting it for a shot.

Their brand of dodgeball is based
on volleyball techniques.

But through the teamwork of my, your,
and Hayami-senpai's daddies,

they defeated these mighty players!

I want us to go up against
Ruka's Tosa Attackers!

That reminds me!

The Tosa Attackers and their
volleyball techniques

were just one of the many unique rivals
our dads fought according to Grandma!

I've heard of them, too!

Some incorporated football, American football,
baseball, basketball, sumo, and kendo!

Even boxing and judo...
That's not dodgeball anymore!

They faced so many rivals
besides Saint Arrows!

We've only scratched the surface so far.

The Tamagawa Primary Dodgeball Club
had even stronger rivals than these!

Someday we'll come face-to-face
with the ghosts of the past!

Don't put it that way!

Basically, we'll get to play even more
awesome dodgeball down the line!

Our battle has only just begun!

Danko-chan, don't make the audience
think this is the final episode!

It goes without saying that
our show isn't over!

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

"To Be Continued"

Next time, on Flaming
Dodgeball Girl Danko:

Chilling Memories and
Devastating Dodgeball!

I'm going all out!
