Dive!! Page #2

---

You worked really hard.

- It's drinking water. - Cute.

It's having fun.

Yeah.

It looks yummy!

I woke up early to make it.

Mom helped too.

I was thinking to do calorie

intake control.

Why?

The physique is very important

in diving.

I was selected for a very

important competition.

And I don't know what to do.

It feels like I'm losing you.

Sorry.

So much is expected of me,

for the first time.

Until now, no one expected much of me.

Just an ordinary boy.

Which wasn't bad, but I felt cramped.

Being ordinary

is a bit stifling.

If I become a good diver,

I might be free.

Let's eat.

Well?

It's good!

Yummy!

Let's go.

One, two, three.

Did you see the mat?

Yes.

OK, next three turns.

Three turns! Ready?

One, two, three.

See, you did it. Saw the mat?

Yes.

OK, once more.

Ready!

TO THE OLYMPICS! (YEAH, RIGHT!)

I CAN DO IT! (MAYBE)

Ryo!

You can't give up!

I won't let you.

We worked so hard.

I kept waiting.

For the coach with a sharp eye,

who would discover me.

And when that coach finally shows up,

she chose Tomo!

Ryo! Ryo!

It's not your fault that he left.

Don't worry.

Diving is an individual sport.

With each win, you get lonelier.

Was he supposed to meet you here?

Yes...

Don't worry. He's just late.

He'll be back soon.

Alright!

Entry position.

105B.

2.5 turns, at 10.

Tomo!

Wow!

2.5 turns!

He did it.

The diamond eyes...

What?

Don't know.

I did it!

This is easy.

Just the first step.

You know what's next?

107, 3.5 turns.

What?

I hardly managed 2.5.

It's impossible.

That's why!

If you make it, you'll be a star.

What?

Stop it!

Once again!

That's all?

Where did you go with Miu?

How did you...?

Why?

Why do you have this?

Tomo...

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I don't believe it.

Stop it!

He confessed, and you chose him?

It's true!

Why did you confess?

She was my girlfriend.

So what!

I knew you had problems.

It was hard for Miu.

You didn't see it.

We had no problems.

And all the broken promises?

I had to practice... And Miu...

You are important to me!

Liar!

Liar...

Miu!

SAKAl ABSEN I'll make ice tea...

I won't be long.

Every minute is precious!

What happened?

My brother stole my girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

Your brother?

Stole her?

You fool!

What?

Return to the pool!

No way!

You must!

You don't need me.

You have Yoichi and Shibuki.

They'll make it to the Olympics.

They don't matter.

This is your problem.

Or will you just give up?

I gave it all up!

My girlfriend, my friends,

everything.

I gave up sweets, too.

And for what?

He had everything,

and he stole her!

It's not fair.

Really?

I don't think so.

You have something that

no one else has.

What?

The gift a diver would kill for.

Diamond eyes.

Will it help me

beat Yoichi and Shibuki?

The ability to grasp a large amount

of visual information in an instant.

Momentary vision.

You're born with it.

Divers who have it

can see when to turn and stretch

as a still image.

It's not much use in daily life.

But in diving, it's a big advantage

for high-level performance.

That's "diamond eyes. "

3.5 turns?

Tomo did 3.5 turns!

You're kidding?

What went wrong?

Just doing the turns is not enough.

You must perfect the entry.

Once again.

Yes.

It's getting interesting.

Alright!

Wow!

He did it! 3.5 turns!

Once again, while it's still fresh.

OK!

BEIJlNG TRAINlNG CAMP TRIALS

Let's get started.

Coach Sun.

Are you nervous?

Don't be stupid.

How can you not be?

Welcome to the 2007 Beijing International

Training Camp Trials.

Small audience.

Diving is not very popular.

I thought you won't come.

But if they don't win, the club...

Don't worry!

Let's cheer them!

It's beginning.

There are 6 types of dives.

Forward,

back,

inverse,

reverse,

twist...

Twist?

And armstand.

Armstand?

All dives have a degree

of difficulty, DD.

The DD times the points awarded

by referees determine the score.

This diver didn't use the 1 Om

in order to raise his DD.

Next, 305C, 1 Om.

DD 2.7. Tomoki Sakai,

Mizuki Diving Club.

8.5, 9, 8.5, 9.

8.5, 8, 8.5.

Score:
. 68.85.

He did it!

Wow!

Tomo did it!

It's the first time he's got a 9.

Shibuki...?

What happened?

It's not like him.

Really?

9.5, 9.5, 8.5, 9, 9.

Score:
. 78.30.

What are you doing?

You told me not to raise a splash.

I didn't tell you to

dive like a coward.

Is that how you dive?

Or is it because of your back?

What do you mean?

Don't try to fool me.

I know you've hurt your back.

With this diving, you'll easily

make the second place.

But nothing more... Nothing.

Don't you want to know

how your grandfather felt?

Far from the sea,

standing on that platform?

Don't you?

With this diving, you'll never know.

The great feeling to dive

in front of an adoring audience.

The feeling?

Yes.

Once you feel that,

you won't be able to give up diving.

Next, 107B, 10m.

DD 3.0, Shibuki Okitsu.

High!

Wow! It's high.

So fast!

Wow!

This is our Shibuki!

7, 6.5, 7, 7.5,

6, 6, 5.5.

Score:
. 58.50.

Shibuki's seventh.

And Tomo is fourth.

Let's go!

Why did he drop to fourth?

The DD was low.

He can't go up, even

if the score is high.

He must do his best,

to make it into the top 3.

He'll do the 3.5 turns.

Next, 107C, 10m.

DD 2.7, Sakai.

3.5 turns.

He did it!

He did it, right?

He'll make it!

He was close!

The entry wasn't perfect.

Score:
. 56.70.

Total score:
. 367.75.

4. TOMOKI SAKAl.

Next 5152B, 10m,

DD 2.9, Fujitani.

Clean!

No splash!

Smooth entry!

Score:
. 79.75.

Everyone, come here!

The selected camp members are:.

No. 1 Fujitani.

No. 2 Matsuno.

And...

Sakai.

These three.

Why? No way.

It's true.

But I was fourth.

It's Coach Sun's decision.

He thinks diving is more,

than just earning points.

So he chose Tomo?

That's all.

Wow, two divers from MDC.

But Shibuki...

Tomo, smile!

If the winners don't smile,

the losers must cry.

You're going to Beijing.

Yes, Tomo! Smile!

You can't win anyway.

Don't fall behind in Beijing.

You won the audience.

You couldn't make the camp

with the injury.

The Olympics is not everything.

Right?

It's not like you.

I don't want you to lose.

I couldn't take it.

When I injured my back.

My world ended when I

didn't make the Olympic team.

Maybe I was wrong.

I can't think now.

I don't regret that I came here.

Now I know how Grandpa felt.

Shibuki.

I'll go to Beijing.

To become better.

A diver everyone admires,

like you.

You get better.

Hey!

It was a good competition.

I enjoyed it.

It's so not... like you.

Ouch! Idiot.

Watch it.

You suck.

"Coach Asaki,"

"How's everyone at MDC?'

"Yoichi and I are OK."

"What is Shibuki doing in Tsugaru?'

"I'm sending you pics of our practice. "

What is it?

An email from Sakai.

He's improved his technique.

Is it because of Shibuki?

You sound down.

No... I let him go back to Tsugaru.

You did the right thing.

It's his choice.

I'll get ready.

The boys are coming back tomorrow.

Didn't Sakai write you?

What?

Hey there!
