Dive!! (2017) s01e12 Episode Script

1
Seriously?
Yoichi?
Yoichi!
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
He's got a bad fever.
We were better off not going to Kobe,
if something like this comes of it.
I shouldn't have said I wanted
that meat bun
I should have stopped him too.
-Last night, Yoichi was prac
-Stop.
Maruyama, what did you just say?
Well, that was
What did you do?
I practiced in the hotel's pool.
And I lost track of the time, that's all.
Why would you do something so stupid
at an important time like this?
Being stupid at the worst moment
is a hobby of mine.
Quit screwing around!
You were on the verge of hitting
your limit with your SS Special training.
Practicing the night before competition?!
How suicidal could you be?!
You should have known that!
Then what about you?
-Me?
-For you, all that matters
is getting one of us
to the Olympics, right?
And if you do, you could rest easy
and go home to America.
But only one person gets to advance from
today's meet to the Tokyo Olympics.
There's gonna be more losers
than winners.
I thought that you would stick around
whether you accomplished
your goal or not,
for the sake of the losers.
I mean, you said it yourself!
There's another Olympics
in five years.
-Hold on a second, what are you talking?
-I haven't seen it yet!
Coach, didn't you say
that there was a view only I could see?
I haven't seen it yet!
That's right, stay here
to show Tomo that, too.
You're fully aware, right?
Of your talent as a coach,
and how much we all need you!
You're a pain as always, Fujitani.
In other words, he's saying
"Kayoko Asaki is essential
to MDC. Don't leave for America."
And I feel the same.
Don't just run away after making a man
care about something so much!
There are so many more things
I want you to teach me.
The independent training regimen you
gave us almost made me throw up at first,
but now it's not enough!
You too!
-Come on.
-Say something.
I'd like to keep learning
from Coach Asaki too.
Thanks. I'm happy to know how
you all feel. But
No buts!
Wait, hear me out.
-I never said I was going to America.
-What?
I overheard you talking about going
to America, though.
Oh, I see. I wasn't talking about myself.
Thenwho?
-That was about you, Okitsu.
-Me?
In Florida, there's a doctor named
Ben Bradley who is said to be
the authority on sports medical science.
An expert who's brought
countless athletes, who other doctors
had given up on, back to the top stage.
I was thinking of having you
go see him.
When I told Ben about you, he said
you should come to Florida right away.
That's great!
If I heal my back in Florida,
will I be able to compete
on the huge worldwide stage?
Yes.
Will I be able to keep diving with them
for years to come?
Of course. You're only 17, after all.
However, just doing so comes
with its own costs.
So, I had a discussion with Chairman
Maebara from Nisuiren.
With Chairman Maebara?
Yup, about making an investment
in the upbringing of future medalists.
Depending on certain factors,
he said he could let you do Japan's first
study abroad training program.
He promised that.
What are those certain factors?
Let me finish.
Chairman Maebara will decide whether
he'll invest in you or not in today's meet.
Got it.
Yes.
Understood. I'll be right there.
Now, it's time to prepare for the finals.
Can you do it, Fujitani?
Of course.
I've just engaged battle mode.
I'm suddenly ready to do this.
Then, let's go!
Yes!
Hey.
I'll now introduce the participating divers.
Kazuki Moriya,
Ishikawa Diving Club.
Reiji Maruyama,
Mizuki Diving Club
Shinji Kaburagi,
Chubu Sports University.
Jiro Hirayama,
Splash Osaka.
Takashi Asama,
Mishio University.
Isn't Tomo amazing? If he wins today,
he might go on to the Olympics.
This was all he gave any effort to.
I can't help but root for him.
What a relief!
GO! MDC
Looks like Yoichi's all right.
I'm sure he'd dive whether or not
he was all right.
That's the kind of guy he is.
Yeah, you're right.
Doesn't it seem like the Tomo over there
is completely different
from the one we know?
It really does. I hope he wins.
Your diving is stiff, Reiji.
It's okay to be careful,
but add some flavor to it.
You've got to try to make yourself explode
and do whatever you want.
Plus, there's not even a one in a million
chance you'll win tomorrow's meet, right?
Make it an adventure!
You said too much.
An adventure, huh?
Congratulations on making the finals.
It's okay if you fail in the finals,
but make sure you perform
to your heart's content.
Ryo says it, Coach Asaki says it
But my goal is different
from everyone else's.
Making it through preliminaries
was a miracle in itself.
That's right, it's because of that jinx.
I had orange juice in the morning,
used an odd-numbered coin locker,
and entered the meet's venue
with my right foot.
My goal isn't the Olympics
or some great prize.
Those things aren't meant for the
bottom rungs. I'm aiming for 11th.
To do that, I can't let the diver
behind me step on my
shadow!
Darn it, the jinx is broken.
Not only was it lame,
it was a failed dive.
-I'm from Tokushima, my name's
-Matsuno! Let's have an adventure!
-Huh?
-Let's blast through
with all we've got
and break out of our shells!
Step out with my right foot
But who cares about some curse?!
Reiji had an awakening!
He's really changed.
I've been watching him
since he was smaller than Sachiya.
Now that you mention it, he doesn't seem
pointlessly caught up with Yoichi this time.
He's probably very committed to this.
With that, perhaps he's overcome
his fatal mental weakness.
The finals for the swimming relay
have started, too.
SCOREBOARD
Damn it.
For better or for worse,
this is the final stretch.
I could turn this around.
If I can pull off the SS Special
Attempting to perfect the technique
in two weeks,
training late last night,
turning down the representative spot
Damn it.
I've been doing such stupid things.
If I end up taking diving away
from my father
Please, just let me dive once more.
I'm begging.
Go, Fujitani.
Hurry and go.
You first.
Believe me, I'd love to.
Unfortunately, my turn is after yours.
If you don't jump, neither can I.
Then skip ahead of me.
That I cannot do. It's the long awaited
Memorial Day, after all.
I think I'll enjoy it to the very last.
Huh?
We've faced off countless times
up until now.
But today was the first time I beat you
in the preliminaries.
I'll be diving after you
on the big stage of the finals.
I want to savor this sense of superiority
until the very end.
If you don't go, you'll be disqualified.
No way, you dive first.
If not, I won't dive. I refuse to dive!
Damn it.
Another idiot, huh?
Look who's talking.
Go on, get up there you big idiot.
I could still turn this around.
He reminds me of myself.
Hey, you know "Run, Melos"?
Melos has the best strategy.
Oh, why is that?
Well, Melos
could just save his friends easily
with time to spare
if he just took off right away
and ran normally, right?
But in the end, he just barely makes it.
I think that's definitely a part
of his strategy.
-What a strategy.
-Yeah.
Having time to spare isn't allowed.
Melos can't get truly fired up unless
it's a last-second struggle
and all hope is lost!
That night,
I decided to have him enter the MDC.
Now seven years from then,
I've become more of a coach to him
than a father.
If MDC is shut down due to my lack
of ability, there are ways
that I'll have to take responsibility
for it.
What is that supposed to mean?
An old soldier will only fade away.
That's all it is.
You can't mean you're going
to stop being a diving coach?
I said something I really shouldn't have
Yoichi Fujitani, 5255B, 3.6.
I can tell you're in bad condition.
Can you dive in that state?
Shurin University has just set
a new record for Japan!
What's Yoichi doing?
That was the warning whistle just now,
wasn't it?
If he doesn't dive within one minute,
he'll be disqualified.
Stop it! Be quiet!
My son My son is going to dive!
That's right. I get fired up in a pinch
when all hope is lost.
Not the meet, I'll win this battle.
It's really okay, right?
I'm sure you know, but since
the Swan Dive is a low-difficulty dive,
you won't earn many points.
But you want to see it, right?
That's why you showed me
my gramps' film,
and had me learn ballet, isn't it?
-That's right.
-Then just say that from the start.
But I don't want you to force yourself.
You're a huge pain, too.
With my Okitsu blood,
I'll put my grandfather's will
and my own soul into this dive.
Shibuki Okitsu, 101A, 1.6.
That guy, pulling a trick out of his sleeve
at the very end.
Okitsu is so manly!
Swan Dive
Gramps
Are you watching?
Here's
my answer!
It's like Yoichi and Okitsu's dives
have awakened a dragon.
That's right.
A dragon that I alone have to
I can't. I can't, I can't, I can't.
It really is hopeless.
I'm sinking to rock bottom.
Aim for the top.
Climb up high with everything you've got.
There's a view there
that no one but you can see.
Don't think it's impossible.
The possibility lies within everyone.
That's right.
You're exactly right, Yoichi.
What I'm aiming for
isn't the Olympics or victory.
It's surpassing the limits
that I set for myself.
The four-and-a-half.
That's my limit.
And I'm gonna surpass that!
Coach Asaki said the four-and-a-half
has a success rate of zero percent.
Keep bringing out the power you have
until nothing more will come out,
or you'll never be able to pull off
a four-and-a-half.
If you're exhausted, then bleed, sweat,
and throw up stomach acid.
Make that zero into one percent.
Make that one into two percent.
Don't think it's impossible.
The possibility lies within everyone.
In me, and in you.
That's why I'll dive!
This is the new view
that no one knows and no one could see
but me!
Concrete Dragon.
To my eyes, Yoichi looked like
a hero who had tamed a monster
when he climbed up the tallest dragon
that summer day.
Ever since then, I've been fascinated
by this Concrete Dragon and
have become addicted to the pleasure
and fear of the world of wind and water.
Also
So tomorrow's finally the day
you go to America?
Wish I could go to America.
It's not like he's going there
to play around.
-I know that.
-It'll be lonely without you.
Knock it off, it's only half a year.
Only, huh?
That's right. I guess I should have one last
going-away sukiyaki.
Oh, good idea!
A final father and son one-on-one.
Listen, you're not my dad
-You're late!
-Sorry!
Once more! Red, your take-off was early!
Green, watch Red's rotation more closely!
Oh, man. She should have just gone
to America with Okitsu.
I hear you.
But this really is a bad idea.
What is? Entering the synchronized
event at the Olympics with me?
You better not be thinking
of beating me still.
Is that why you always take off
earlier than me?
No, no. Of course not.
Then what's the bad idea?
It's our swimsuits.
Why red and green?
You picked them out! You said we were
going for a Christmas-y look.
But, as Japan's representatives,
I believe some Japanese taste
is necessary, after all.
Might I suggest sakura-colored
You really do want to change
back to Pinky, huh?
You guys are in perfect sync!
Stop it. Don't say that.
By the way, they'll be interviewing
the representatives today.
Interview?
Be sure you can properly
introduce yourself.
Will do!
A self-introduction, huh?
I'm Tomoki Sakai. Um
My favorite color is blue.
My favorite flower is the moth orchid.
My favorite animals
are dogs, dolphins and whales.
What's next, what's next
My passion is
to dive!
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
