Dive!!

---

Want to dive?

Let's go!.

Wow!. No splash!

Yoichi is the best!

He's so cool.

Fujitani, watch your

legs when you turn.

Sakai, you fell asleep? Dive!

Yes, sir.

Tomo will dive.

Hurry!

It's no good watching him.

You really like him.

I sure do!

But why?

He'll dive!

Alright!

Now!

Quite a dive!

Cut it out already!

You don't pay attention!

You must watch out!

Ryo!

Don't take off his pants

when I'm diving!

Did you see it?

Sure I did.

No way!

You're just looking for an excuse.

I'm telling you I saw it.

No way! Ouch!

Hey!

He saw it?

- He didn't. - Let's go.

But Tomo said he did.

How many members?

16 elementary schoolers,

8 junior high students,

and 1 in senior high, 25 in total.

I see.

Wow, she's a looker!

Yeah, she's hot!

Who is she?

Tomo, over there!

Who is she?

Everyone, come here!

Let's go!

Meet your new coach,

Ms. Kayoko Asaki.

Quiet! She'll help with

your training.

I'm Ryo Ohiro, the best junior

high diver here.

Dive.

Instead of introductions,

I want you all to dive.

Forward, back, anything.

I'll go first!

Ryo Ohiro!

Enough! You can come down.

No need to dive. Next!

Reiji Maruyama! I'll do 103!

Next!

You couldn't pull it off.

Daisuke Inoue. I'm ready!

Enough. Next!

Tomoki Sakai, ready.

Tomo only?

Really?

He'll jump?

Enough. Come down.

But why?

Come here!

Yoichi will dive.

He'll do it.

Wow! Almost no splash.

He's good!

Make the last rotation 1/4 faster.

It will make entry easier.

Hold that image, and try again.

The rest will practice

the initial position.

What? Why?

You can't dive right

if you can't stand right.

Get down now!

Yes, Miss.

Hurry!

What's the initial position?

You don't know?

The boys are standing.

Yeah, I see.

Wow!

Shoot! She won't let us dive.

We've been doing this for 2 hours.

This sucks!

Stupid exercises only.

We aren't beginners.

You there, Sakai?

Yes.

Are your parents divers?

Huh, no. Not at all...

Are they athletes?

No.

You've got hyperflexible

joints, and long arms and legs.

What's more...

Well, anyway...

Take this.

You can practice outside the pool.

But...

Tomo, what's this?

I'm back.

Hi, Tomo!

"Don't wear socks at home. "

"Refine the sensitivity of your feet. "

Hey, Tomo.

You must knock.

What's this?

What?

You just missed Miu.

Oops.

Get lost.

Now!

Hello.

Miu, hello. I'm so sorry I forgot...

It's so nice that you called.

I'm sorry.

I went shopping with a friend,

and bought a cute jellyfish toy.

Jellyfish?

Want to see it?

It looks like you.

Me? I want to see it.

I'll show it to you at school.

And when I was...

One.

Two.

Three.

The stomach!

Keep your head up!

Crouch lower!

Nine.

Fifty.

OK, stop! Keep the pose.

Five minutes.

Five minutes?

I'm done.

I've had enough.

Get back!

Can't take it.

I'll talk to the coach.

Wait!

Why are you letting her coach us?

We want you to be our coach!

Quiet!

You know the club is having

financial problems.

The parent company wants us closed.

Coach Asaki convinced them

to give us another chance.

Why?

She's the granddaughter

of the late chairman.

The board members have

no interest in diving.

They'll keep the club,

under one condition.

What condition?

The Olympics.

MDC must produce an Olympic diver.

That's why I'm here.

So I'll compete in the Olympics?

The Olympics is the goal?

Who knows?

The Olympics is not for us.

Yeah.

Maybe Yoichi can make it.

He's the son of Coach Fujitani.

A thoroughbred diver.

If my parents were Olympic divers...

No way.

Not even then.

Still, the new coach has big

hopes for Tomo.

A pony with no pedigree.

What's that?

I didn't say that.

Cut it!

Hiro.

Yes?

These are your favorite dishes.

Tomo, you never wear socks. Why?

Well, I...

Tell me...

What?

Do you have any ambitions for me?

Any special hopes?

Just that you're healthy

and happy, right?

We love you just the way you are.

So Ms. Asaki is the girl

who hurt her back and had to retire.

Went to the US to study coaching.

Thank you.

Are you already done?

You can break your diet

now and then.

You want him to quit diving?

It was a joke.

Never joke about this.

The fate of the club depends

on him. Right?

Yes.

As for your practice,

do you want to train with

Ms. Asaki?

No. I want you to stay my coach.

Alright.

So you're doing self-training.

Yes.

First, physical training!

Competitions are long and exhausting.

Strength and concentration

are indispensable.

Yes.

I promise you one thing.

You'll become better.

Pain is the price you

have to pay to grow.

And from the top...

You'll see a view no one

else can see.

Once more.

Tomo? Are you free today?

Today...

We're going to Ishii's today.

Can you come?

I have practice...

Diving again?

We'll ask someone else.

Sorry. Maybe next...

Check my legs when I dive today.

What's wrong?

Why are you so excited?

About the Olympics?

She doesn't think you can make it.

Ms. Asaki scouted a new diver.

From Aomori.

Who's that?

Who?

OK, go!

What a splash!

The water stinks.

Come here.

Meet the new member, Shibuki Okitsu.

He won't be your buddy,

but your rival.

Compete with each other!

This is Yoichi Fujitani.

A three-time junior high

champion, and MDC's No. 1 diver.

Wow, perfect!

Cool!

Can you dive like this?

He's fast!

The splash!

He's the best!

A perfect twist.

Wow!

That was quite a splash.

No matter how good you are,

you can't score with such a splash.

So I should hold myself down

so I don't splash?

Tomo, let's go for ( okonomiyaki )!

Or sweet beans.

Maybe next time.

The doomed super diver?

Yeah, a famous diver in the 1930s.

Because of the War,

he couldn't compete in the Olympics.

His name was Shiraha Okitsu.

The new boy's grandfather.

They both used to dive from

the Tsugaru cliffs.

He thinks pool diving sucks.

So why is he here?

Revenge... I guess.

Revenge?

For his grandfather.

You both are amazing.

The son of Olympic athletes,

and the grandson of a super diver.

I feel like I want to quit.

But I think you're my real rival.

Really?

Of course not.

You can't even control

your calorie intake.

Coach Asaki said to Coach Fujitani...

What?

That you have diamond eyes.

Diamond eyes?

Thank you.

Hello.

Coach Fujitani, may I?

Take a look.

The Beijing training camp trial?

Yes.

A camp for young divers

from Asia in August.

The former Chinese team coach

will train them.

Coach Sun?

COACHING STAFF:
. SUN WEl

So the Swimming Federation

will choose the Olympic divers

from the camp participants?

Definitely.

You're in charge.

Thank you.

Do your best.

One spot in the Olympic Squad

is for the diver with the best

results and experience:

Kenichiro Teramoto.

Mayl...

A shortcut to the Olympics

is to finish in the Top 3

of this competition

and go to the training camp.

MDC can send 3 divers

to the trials.

I already chose them.

And they are:
.

Yoichi Fujitani,

Shibuki Okitsu,

and

Tomoki Sakai.

Wow, Tomo!

That's all.

Tomo, you made it!

You rock!
