Dive!! (2017) s01e01 Episode Script

1
Chikuwa, wait! Chikuwa!
Chikuwa, what are you doing?
It's a dragon.
Hey, you.
Um, I
You wanna jump?
Yeah!
On that one summer day,
I was shown this concrete dragon,
and became addicted to the fear and excitement
of this world of wind and water.
The boy who climbed to the top of
the tallest dragon
was like a hero who vanquished
a monster in my eyes.
Our next diver is from Mizuki Diving Club,
Mr. Yoichi Fujitani!
Undefeated in junior leagues,
he ruled over the other competition.
In first place, Yoichi Fujitani
with a score of 412.40.
In second place, Toshihiko Tsuji
with a score of 381.75.
In third place
Yoichi!
You were awesome!
You can soar too.
Just like a flying bird spreading its wings
over the blue ocean
Searching for a dream I've yet to have
Fly about through trial and error
The sun rises and falls again
I want to change that mundane reality
The smell of boundless summer,
even in my hands
I'm sad without you here
And the sun is lonely too
Being in the middle of you
Having learned the sad lie
A map of the future appearing in the sky
A future that changes without you
I tried to forget you by hiding behind my laughter
A view that cannot be seen from here
A view that can only be seen from here
Open up the canvas of my heart
and paint with the true colors only you can see
Tomoki! Off to practice again today?
Yeah.
Just how much do you love diving, anyway?
Tsukasa, isn't diving scary?
I guess so.
Which is it?
Tomo.
Practice, huh?
I really am going to practice!
Can I walk home with you on your way to MDC?
Isn't your house in the opposite direction?
It's fine.
So they were showing these popular
sweets on TV.
And they had these pancakes that
looked so good.
But the person doing the report didn't
look like they were enjoying them enough.
So it made me wonder if they looked
better than they actually tasted.
They still looked really good to me though.
Whenever they hear I dive,
I always get asked the same question.
"Aren't you scared?"
I mean, I'm basically jumping from
the third floor.
But what's really scary is the pain.
That pain from failing
that makes you want to vomit.
But you won't know this feeling
unless you've dove yourself.
Hey, are you even listening?
Yeah.
Then what do you think is the best topping
for pancakes?
Honey?
No, I mean
Honey wasn't one of the toppings.
I knew you weren't listening.
Sorry.
You don't have to walk me any further.
What? I can't watch you dive?
No, you can't.
Why not?
No reason.
It's Yoichi!
Wow.
Come on, just let me.
See you later, Miyu!
Coach Fujitani, I'm ready!
You need to step into it more.
Your shoulders are too tense.
Keep your toes pointed
until you're underwater.
Don't lose focus.
Yes, sir.
Jumping from a ten-meter height,
falling at 60 kilometers per second.
A midair performance that lasts
a mere 1.4 seconds.
Hey, Tomo!
Hurry it up, will you?
Yeah, sorry.
Coach Oshima! I'm ready!
Never hesitate! Keep moving forward!
Then you can do it!
Yes, sir!
There's Coach Oshima's classic idealism again.
Ouch. I hit the water hard.
That looks like it hurts, Ryo.
I got a bad feeling halfway through,
but it was too late.
Hitting face-first really sucks.
Come on, you can avoid that.
You really took your time, Tomo.
When the person in front doesn't jump
right away,
it starts to affect everyone else.
Sorry.
It's no big deal. Happens to me sometimes too.
That feeling where you suddenly can't jump.
Right?! And of course when that happens,
all you can think about are the times
you failed.
Imagination is the enemy!
What's that, your Coach Oshima impression?
That's not even close.
Another coach quit.
Do you think they're leaving us for
another club?
Maybe. Apparently our club isn't doing so hot.
Mizuki Diving Club.
MDC for short, it's in a pretty bad situation right now.
Something they call a managerial crisis.
To begin with, MDC is run directly by Mizuki,
a major sporting brand.
Wanting to support the few diving athletes in Japan,
as well as the coaches,
Chairman Mizuki founded the club six years ago.
COMPANY FOUNDER MIZUKI
But the chairman passed away early this year.
Then suddenly,
it seems like the company became
very critical of MDC.
But our club will be fine.
How do you know?
Because we have Yoichi.
That's right.
Yoichi is our club's bastion of hope.
I mean, his father Keisuke Fujitani is the coach for MDC,
and a former Olympic athlete.
His mother was also the queen of diving.
Having inherited such a legacy,
Yoichi is a true thoroughbred.
As long as Yoichi does well,
it will help MDC's image
and the board members won't try
to close us down, apparently.
Who said that?
Yoichi said it himself.
But you know,
being able to say it is what makes him amazing.
All right. Let's start by jumping
from the side of the pool.
Okay!
You'll be fine, Tomo! Jump!
Okay!
Sakai, you go next.
Okay!
It's not that different from the 1 meter.
It's all the same when you jump.
Okay
All right, Ohiro and Maruyama,
try the five meter next.
I don't like not being with everyone else.
It's lonely being alone, and it's not fun.
He is so cool.
Tomo, I didn't know you were here.
Yeah.
Did you come alone?
You came in this rain?
Yeah. I thought there would still be practice.
We're getting wet anyway.
Do you like practice?
I mean, not exactly.
But I want to be able to dive from the same
height as everyone.
You're a weird kid.
Try jumping.
I can't. I haven't even really been able to
do it at a lower level.
Stop giving up before you even try.
Are you opening your eyes?
You have to keep your eyes open
and watch the water.
Open my eyes?
Okay.
All right, go to it then.
Okay!
I have to keep my eyes open.
I won't close them.
I will keep my eyes open.
I'm too slow!
Now!
I did it!
I did it!
Don't think anything's impossible.
Everyone has the potential.
That goes for me and for you too.
This was the only time Yoichi ever
stopped to teach me something.
What a scandal!
Sachiya just heard about a huge scandal!
Probably just those old synchro ladies
squabbling, right?
Sacchin, you really should stop eavesdropping.
No, no! It's way more amazing than that!
I'm talking adultery! Adultery!
Give us the details then.
Coach Fujitani is having an affair with a young woman!
No way!
It's true!
Coach Fujitani told Coach Oshima to take over
today's practice because something urgent came up.
Where's Sachiya and the Junior High Trio?
Something urgent?
It's hard to imagine Coach Fujitani leaving
practice early.
It is suspicious.
What could be more important than us?
I saw it with my own eyes.
A really beautiful woman came to see
Coach Fujitani.
A beautiful woman who's more important than us?
There's no mistake.
It's an affair.
An affair more important than us.
MDC COACH KEISUKE FUJITANI
CAUGHT IN AN AFFAIR!
No way!
Coach Fujitani would never do that!
Yeah, you're right.
What was the woman like?
She had big, jiggly breasts.
And her butt was really nice too!
Wait, isn't that probably someone from
Mizuki Sports?
I think I saw her here before.
How could you tell from that?
An office affair?!
That means
Mizuki Sports has finally come to shut us down.
The mistress has?
It's not an affair!
Sacchin, do you not get it?
Do you think he overheard us?
That girl from today.
Was she your girlfriend?
What's that?!
It's nothing.
Tomo, you're having an affair too?!
Like we said, it's not an affair.
-It's not like that with her.
-How is it not like that?
This is the worst.
I'm home.
Miyu was worried because you didn't return her texts.
Are you even listening?
Yeah.
Why aren't you responding to her?
No reason.
Then just text her back!
I'm not explaining myself
to my younger brother, Hiro.
We're in the same grade!
Shut up, March Baby.
That's not even an insult.
Chikuwa, let's go for a walk.
I'm in love with you, Tomo.
Can I be your girlfriend?
What?!
Why did I say okay then?
You've got a girlfriend, Tomo?!
Stop lying!
Tell me you're lying!
I'm so jealous!
Maybe I just wanted to show off.
How could you reject her, Sakai?!
Poor Miyu!
I can't believe you made a girl cry.
You're disgusting!
Maybe I was just scared.
But I have no idea what going out even means.
What should I do?
Apparently our club isn't doing so hot.
I heard they've been in the red these
past six years.
Will MDC really be shut down?
I don't want that to happen.
NEW MESSAGE FROM MIYU
-Tomo, off to practice again today?
-Yeah.
Okay, I'll guess we'll catch you later.
See you.
Bye!
What do you want to do today?
What is it, Sacchin?
It's the beautiful woman!
This won't do.
It's a difficult request.
Yes, it's really too bad.
She is here to shut us down!
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
-She's
-His mistress!
I'm Kayoko Asaki.
Did you come to shut down our club?
You said it won't do.
Yes, at this rate it won't.
What?
Do you think you boys are up for it?
You wanna make it to the Tokyo Olympics?
I do.
Don't think anything's impossible.
Everyone has the potential.
That goes for me and for you too.
I want to make it!
The Tokyo Olympics!
That was something far off into the distance,
almost out of reach for me.
But strangely,
I felt really excited.
Searching for a small light
Wanting to touch tomorrow's warmth
Because I chose not to shed any tears
Because that is what I vowed
Even if I hit an invisible wall
Or get lost in days without answers
Let's walk forward with confidence
Because we're still unfinished
Inside the hands reaching up to the sky
There is a faint sign of hope
The tomorrow that was fading away
We will change into certainty
So run, cut through the wind
Shout out, as long as your voice rings true
One day I'm sure we'll be able to reach a new world
