Original subtitles

Let's go, Huura.

Equip!

Scuderia, Set Up.

I will forever embrace the destiny we swore upon.

誓い合った 約束(うんめい) ずっと 胸に 抱いて

Now that we're here I won't run anymore.

ここまで 来た もう 逃げはしない

You and I; we'll face the here and now together.

今と 向き合うために 行こう 君と 共に

The season we shared together when we were young

幼い日 二人で 過ごした 季節

laughing together as we chatted about our dreams for the future.

夢(みらい) 語って 笑い合っていた

The cruel time apart snatched everything away

離れていた 時間は 無情なほどに 全て 奪った

including the smile you had that day.

あの日の 君の 笑顔も

The vivid memories

鮮明な 記憶と

and your gaze at that instant

刹那の 眼差しが

brought us to the crossroads marking the distance between us.

交差しては 二人を 避ざける

To start the hands of time moving again, I will now

止まっていた 時計(じかん)を 取り戻すために 今

surpass those days spent apart

すれ違った 日々を 超える

with the bonds from that day.

あの日の 絆で

I will forever embrace the destiny we swore upon

誓い合った 約束(うんめい) ずっと 胸に 抱いて

unleashing it all in this strike.

全て込め 撃ち抜く ストライク

I won't be afraid anymore!

何も 恐れはしない

Let's go! Together, you and I!

行こう 君と 共に

「Rain」

Even though you look down on and show contempt for others

when the going gets rough, you throw in the towel.

I'm gonna destroy that spoiled attitude!

She sure flew.

Yep, that's the power of Fuuka's punches!

That's true, but we're also using a bit of a special protection system right now.

Their safety is important, but the damage feedback has been increased.

It's a special setting just for them.

I said it before, didn't I?

That you don't understand anything, Fuu-chan.

About me, about my family...

Or about what I've been through.

It's not just you.

Nobody else understands!

We don't understand because you won't tell us!

You hide your true feelings and distance yourself.

Don't expect the people around you to understand...

...when all you do is just wallow in your own misery!

It's the same thing this time.

Your gym and coach have such high expectations for you.

And then you say you're quitting after just one defeat?

But as soon as that belt's in front of you, you're all raring to come back.

You keep flip-flopping like that because your heart's so weak!

It's not like I participated in the matches or martial arts because I liked them!

So I can do what I want!

Everything will be fine as long as I get stronger; as long as I feel strong!

That "strength" you speak of....

Isn't it just an excuse to run away from the terrible things you want to forget?

It has nothing to do with you, Fuu-chan.

No matter what I do or think.

In the first place, you're not my sister or my family.

You're just someone that happened to end up in the orphanage with me.

I don't have to put up with your lectures!

There's someone...

...who took me into their family.

For the first time in my life, I met my family.

I was happy.

But I betrayed that trust... that love!

In the worst possible way!

In the most heartless way!

I hate those who hurt others with spite.

To stop the people that belittled and looked down on me from doing so again...

...So they could never take anything away from me again, I decided to become strong!

If you did, that'd be fine, no matter how strong you got.

Martial arts is a wonderful sport.

It involves lots of people putting their all toward reaching their different dreams.

If getting stronger there, if winning titles and victories are what support your heart, that's fine.

But you're... different, aren't you?!

You run from your painful past, just cling to your immediate goals...

...close your heart from others...

...and refuse to face yourself or your surroundings!

Do you see everything around you... the entire world as your enemy?

All right, that's it, Fuuka!

Keep it going! Give it to that idiot!

Then... what should I have done?!

Should I have just forgotten those horrible, terrible things?

The sadness that occurred because of me...

The things I did that can't be forgiven even now...

The sins and mistakes I committed...

Was I supposed to forget it all and go on with life as if it never happened?

I'm not saying to go that far.

Can't you come to a compromise?

I did! I smile in front of my family...

I act normal in class...

I'll keep saying it:

You can't understand and it doesn't concern you!

Just... leave me be!

It's okay. Rinne's just as strong as expected.

Yes.

Competitor Fuuka does have explosive power.

And her ancient school techniques and strikes are hard to read.

But that's all.

Once Rinne gets used to it, they'll no longer phase her.

Fuuka, you can't keep on taking blows.

She's going to strike. At this distance it'll be a straight shot like last time.

A Strike Arts technique.

That's right. She used them in the first round.

She must've learned the basic techniques from Competitors Takamachi and Rinaldi, but...

...that just means I have to look out for those too!

Her strike patterns suddenly....

Impossible!

She learned the ancient and modern martial arts side-by-side?!

It certainly was a gamble.

She was a complete amateur with no knowledge or experience of martial arts.

Despite that, the rate she absorbed that knowledge was abnormally fast.

- A textbook example of Vivio-san's counter! - Yes!

It's still too stiff. Vivi-san's is more....

Like this!

That's it!

All right!

Above all, Fuuka has the proper senses to control her body exactly how she visualizes it.

While you've been fighting against the world around you, all by yourself...

I've learned a bunch from a lot of people.

Be it a street fight or a martial arts match, I can't lose to you as you are now.

The way Rinne-san's reacting to the pain...

She broke something! Her ribs, or worse, her breastbone.

That destructive power is something else!

All that after just four months?

I know, right?

Fuu-nyan's fists are super tough after all.

Fists blessed down to the bones.

Her strikes hurt and break any bones they hit.

That's what Einhart-san said too:

Fuuka-san's fists were a gift from God.

With those tough fists and the ancient, Hegemon style strikes...

Applying magic to them would increase their power even further.

It doesn't matter where she strikes, whether they're guarding or if it's a vital spot.

Wherever she hits is destroyed, wherever she hits becomes a vital spot.

A strike of the gods, that invades on their domain.

She's already entering that realm in her fourth month of training.

She's trying to get up but....

It's over! Let's stop them!

- But.... - I know you're frustrated

But Competitor Fuuka's strikes are the real deal.

This isn't even a formal match! There's no reason to risk further injury!

It might cost her career as a competitor!

You should understand the pain of failure best of all!

Coach, trainer....

I can...

- ...still fight. - But....

I can tolerate the pain and suffering!

I'm still conscious and mobile.

I don't want to give up yet!

- Let's proceed. - Coach!

I take responsibility for this.

Let her fight.

Fuuka, your last strike was good.

You can keep going, right?

Yes!

In my dreams, I see days unmarred by my mistakes.

I don't stick out, so they don't attack me.

Grandpa is healthy, even now.

In a warm room awash with sunlight we chat every day.

The whole family smiling...

Happy.

I know! I know all of that is just a dream.

Those days will never return to me.

I destroyed it all.

I was wrong.

I shouldn't have stood out in the physical tests.

I was wrong in how I responded to those girls.

I didn't seek advice from anyone because I was afraid that it would make them worry or cause them trouble.

Until it got to that point, I never really resisted.

I couldn't!

I was weak, foolish, helpless...

That's why Father and Mother's smiles... have always been a little clouded since that day.

Grandpa won't smile for me, even in my dreams.

I'll probably never forgive myself for it.

I don't know what I should do.

I want to be forgiven, but I shouldn't be.

I can't smile, even when I want to.

I can't have fun, even while doing fun things.

If I don't become the strongest, I won't be able to forgive myself.

Fuu-chan, you said that I see the whole world as my enemy.

You're a bit off.

In all the world, the one I hate most is myself!

That's why....

- This is bad! - Yeah.

Fuuka-san!

Fuuka! Wake up!

We first met on a snowy winter day.

We were both relocated from our temporary guardians to that institute on the same day.

We came at the same time, were the same age...

That's why we were often lumped together.

Fuu-chan, you really don't smile at all, do you?

I'm an unfortunate orphan.

There's no bright future for me.

Nothing's fun for me, so why would I smile?

But there are fun things.

Like, isn't the food good?

You mean that poor meal of just potatoes, millet and wilted greens?

Or how delicious the water you get after a long day of volunteer work is?

I'd rather not work at all.

How about the treat we get once a week?

Those are scraps with really fishy expiration dates.

More to the point, can't you think of anything other than food and drinks?

I love eating!

Don't you?

Well, sure.

I think you're grumpy because you're always hungry.

Here, take this! I saved it!

- Don't want it! - It's okay.

I'm not hungry.

- Don't be unreasonable! - Just take it.

Then we'll do this!

I'll take half of it today.

I'll give you half of mine next time, then we'll be even.

Thanks, Fuu-chan.

You're such a weirdo.

I am not!

No, you're definitely a weirdo!

The first time I smiled was probably that moment.

Fuu-chan, you're so warm.

The warmth you provided....

The kindness you gave me...

...your hand that held mine...

...made me human.

Please, Rinne.

What needs to happen in order for you to forgive yourself?

What needs to happen in order for you to smile like you used to?

Fuu-chan, you can just leave me alone.

Find happiness on your own.

You have your kind master and seniors, don't you?

If you continue martial arts, I'm sure you'll become a popular competitor.

So it's fine. You've always been the worst at persuasion and lectures.

Thank you for trying so hard.

You don't have to force yourself to be with me.

I refuse.

Even if you hate me...

Even if you just thought of me as another stranger...

That's fine.

To me, you're a precious childhood...

No, a friend!

And that's why...

When you're standing there, crying by yourself...

Your eyes swollen with tears...

I can't take it much longer!

If you have difficulties, regrets... things you can't tell anyone else...

...I'll take on half of the weight with you.

If something's causing you to suffer...

...I'll fight with you.

That's why... Don't say that you hate my beloved childhood friend...

Don't tell me that you hate yourself!

You're so nice, Fuu-chan.

You always were.

When we were at the institute...

...there were a lot of tough times, but it was fun.

There was plenty of hope for the future.

We were sure there was a path that would lead us to happiness.

I loved and cherished you...

You were the childhood friend that was special to me over all others.

The memories of the days I spent with you, Fuu-chan...

...are my most precious treasures.

But ever since the day I erred...

...I can't see that path anymore.

The path for me to move forward...

I can't find it anywhere!

Let's settle this.

If I win, promise me that you won't meddle with me again.

I don't want to involve you any further.

But if I win....

Not a chance. I'm going to win.

I think... I was wrong in how I trained and interacted with Rinne after all.

I want her to win, but I don't care if she loses...

...As long as she comes back to me once more!

Next time I won't make the same mistakes!

This fight will only be settled... by the paths these competitors walk.

Let's watch over them and witness the future those girls choose.

I gaze at your trembling back as you yearn to become stronger

強くなりたいと 震えている 背中を 見つめて

making a wish on the cold and the blooming flowers

凛と 咲く花に 願い事

"Please allow me to protect you."

「君のことを 守りたい」

I realized I couldn't walk those sleepless streets alone

一人じゃ 歩けないと 気付いた 眠れない街で

but the warmth from the hands of that special someone softened my heart.

大切な 人の 手の 温もりで 僕は 優しくなれた

I'm soaring now; no longer lost.

飛び立てるよ もう 迷わない

If I gaze up, the endless stars are guiding us.

見上げれば 果てない 星を 僕ら 照らして

Within the spirals of time, a sprouting hope spins

巡り巡る 時間(とき)の 中で 芽生えた 願い 紡いてく

those sad memories becoming a seed of courage

悲しみの 記憶は 勇気の 種になる

to pierce through with the light of hope.

希望の 光 貫いて

I have the key to your locked away heart.

閉じ込めた 心の 鍵は

I'll show you when I open it wide.

僕が 開けてみせる

Drawing the map that leads to our shining future

描き出す 未来の 地図よ

lies within our hands clasped tightly together.

強く 輝いて 繋いだ手の 中で

「Unleashing It All In This Strike」

I won't lose!

- That's right, Fuuka! - Remember the training!

Training....

F- Fuuka?

Counting on you again next week! All right!
