Dive!! Page #3

---

Oh, hi!

Take this.

Thanks!

Kyoko.

I got it!

Thank you.

I'll ask Granny to make

sashimi and soup.

OK.

Good.

Delicious!

Let's go to a spa.

I have to get up early.

A day trip then.

I've waited so long.

OK, let's go.

Where?

To Sukayu?

No.

Aoni then?

I like it!

Let's go.

When?

Next week?

OK, I'll take a day off!

Shibuki!

You dived here?

Do you still dive?

No, I was busy this summer.

With what?

Sex, mainly.

You've had... a nice summer.

I envy you.

I won't go back.

But why?

I can dive here...

It's vast, the water is clean.

But you have no audience,

and no rivals.

No coach.

No one is looking at you.

Is it any fun?

I want to dive with you.

In the pool.

The pool is small,

but it's not so bad.

I've changed too.

I trained hard in China to be

able to compete with you.

I wonder...

Who missed practice

cause of a broken heart?

How did you...?

You told Reiji and Sachi,

and the rest.

But I've changed!

Hey!

Fool!

Let's do it!

Won't you stay over?

We have practice.

I see.

It's a secret,

but Coach Sun chose you.

If it wasn't for the injury,

you'd have gone.

Tomo worked real hard.

It's your turn.

Sorry.

Let's go, Tomo.

We'll be waiting for you.

Here.

It came 3 days ago.

COACH KAYOKO ASAKl

Shiraha Okitsu... Grandpa!

Grandpa.

He looks so happy.

What's this?

Last time, you went to

Tokyo because of your Grandpa.

This time, go for yourself.

Really?

Do your best,

lose and come back home.

1 Om!

How's your back?

It's OK.

Alright. Fujitani, 10m.

Higher!

Head up!

A bit to the right.

Have you heard of the swan dive?

Swan dive?

Your grandfather's favorite technique.

101A.

Forward straight dive.

But beautiful, like a swan.

I'm sure you can do it.

Swan dive...

In the air it was good.

Follow through to entry.

OK.

What?

I want to try 207B.

A 3.5 back dive, now?

That is your weak group.

I want to become better.

It's unnecessary.

You must perform a perfect composition.

Don't get any ideas.

The future of MDC depends on you.

Don't forget it.

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Yes, thank you.

Goodbye.

What happened?

Actually...

Everyone, come here!

I just got a call from the Federation.

They've decided on the Olympic squad.

Why so early?

Who will go?

Two divers.

Kenichiro Teramoto.

And from MDC, Yoichi Fujitani.

Fujitani, get ready.

We'll go to the Federation.

We're leaving in 10 minutes.

Fujitani.

But why, why?

Usually the squad is announced

much later.

It's too early.

There should be three spots anyway.

Enough.

No, it's not.

You worked so hard.

What's going on?

Chairman Maehara

reduced the number to 2 to

secure medals.

If Teramoto's teammate does

a low-level jump,

Teramoto's image will suffer.

Do you understand?

Just do what you have to do.

Let's go.

FUJITANl ABSEN Hello.

It's me.

Papa?

Is he still sick?

I guess so. He won't leave his room.

You guess?

Ask him yourself.

You're his father.

We don't need a coach at home.

Yes?

Yoichi, it's for you.

So what do you think?

It doesn't feel right.

I've lost motivation.

It's the first time I've skipped practice.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Don't miss it.

It doesn't feel real.

A perfect composition.

The best teammate for Teramoto.

MDC savior Yoichi Fujitani.

That's ridiculous.

Let me show you something.

OK, 10m!

4.5 turns?

You don't get it.

Hold your legs lower.

Again.

He's training twice as hard.

Again, 10m.

OK, see you.

Enough for today. You're exhausted.

One last dive.

No, I said enough.

Do you hear me?

Just one!

I said no! Get down here!

Support his head.

OK.

I'm sorry. I'm fine now.

You scared us.

But it's good that you're OK.

Why did you do it?

The Olympic dream is over.

Why do you keep doing it?

The dream may be over,

but the dragon is still alive.

Dragon?

The concrete dragon.

The first diving tower I saw

looked so huge and powerful.

Like a big dragon.

The concrete dragon.

That's what I've been calling

it since then.

As long as the dragon lived,

I had a chance.

A chance?

To be free.

I felt so cramped by the limits.

Crushed in a tiny box.

Limits?

The early selection of only

two divers,

and the ambitions for medals

are limits.

But,

making the 4.5 turns

is far beyond that.

Very far!

That's why I want to dive.

What is it?

Do you know Chairman Maehara?

He was a friend of my grandfather.

I must see him.

What for?

I'm a busy person.

You have 5 minutes.

Actually, 4.

What do you want?

I withdraw from the Olympic team.

Alright. I'll think about it.

Let me explain.

There's nothing to explain.

There's still time.

I thought you were a smart boy.

Does your father know?

The coach doesn't matter.

By quitting, you jeopardize

the future of your club.

Your father will suffer the most.

I guess dad is

my limit.

I don't understand.

He's not my father.

He's just my coach.

All my life, I've been diving

for dad and the club.

That's my limit.

With each win, I get lonelier.

I never questioned it.

But it's over.

The thrill is gone.

Is that all?

Yes.

Time's up.

The star of Japan's diving,

Kenichiro Teramoto,

received a ticket to the Olympics.

His excellent performance in

the World Series

gave him a spot in the team.

I am sorry

for what I did.

Fool!

Should I tell them?

Go ahead.

The Federation

will hold trials to decide

who will take

the one remaining spot.

The winner must get at least

500 points.

500?

That's tough.

No way.

It's impossible.

Right now,

Teramoto is the only diver

who can raise this score.

Chairman Maehara is ready

to send a one-man team.

We won't let him.

I'll raise 500 points.

We can do it.

Sure we can.

Let's go!

What?

Is it true you'll resign?

If no one makes the Olympic team,

the club is over.

I'll make it.

I gave it up,

I can take it back.

Teach me 207B.

Coach!

Keep your head up. It's important.

Then bend forward.

Keep it up!

Stretch your arms.

That's right. Once again.

BEIJlNG OLYMPIC TRIALS

Mom, Dad!

Tomo!

How are you feeling?

Miu and Hiro are here.

Shut up!

It's OK. Tell them

that I'll nail the 4.5 turns jump

and will go to the Olympics.

I can't go back yet.

Shibuki.

You must win.

Of course.

- The start list? - It's in the office.

Coach!

I promise I'll make it.

The Olympic Trials

are about to start.

Only a winner

with a score of over

500 points will qualify.

Such a score

can secure a medal at the Olympics.

That's right.

Mr. Kenichiro Teramoto

is also here today.

Eight divers will compete

in the finals.

Tomoki Sakai,

a junior high student

tops the ranking.

On his heels is his teammate,

Yoichi Fujitani.

Who should we support?

All three of them.

You're right.

Hey!

Ryo!

Sit here.

Long time!

So you came!

And so it begins!

Well?

He's good.

The three divers of MDC

lead the ranking.

Sakai is third,

Fujitani is second,

and Okitsu is first.

Use this.

A spasm?

I'm fine.

It's the pressure.

I'm telling you I'm fine.

Let's see what we can do.
