Original subtitles

I think so, too.

I don't think there's a woman anywhere that suits Haru.

'cause Haru is cunning.

You don't want to love anyone.

You, Haru was able to come out thanks to Aki-san.

She asked him to drop the charges against you.

Yes

You knew it?

'cause I never thought he'd forgive me.

Even knowing...

I should find the way to properly thank her, right?

That's not what I mean.

You made her that way.

Me?

Girls, you know, tend to change themselves

To the type their lover likes.

Both-ways, physically and mentally.

The girl who's waiting,

The girl who never moves further.

The ideal woman that Haru wants,

Without thinking she had wanted to become.

And she really isn't like that?

I sincerely apologize! For making a scene yesterday.

Ah, no...

It was because of his "there's no woman for me" macho attitude.

It's a bit different than a macho attitude.

I'm not so sure.

It will soon be forgotten.

Of course! 'cause I'm getting married, right?

Haru-san is going to Canada.

To NHL challenge.

Really?

Could it be of broken heart by Aki-san? I thought for a bit.

He's not like that.

Then it's fine, I guess.

But he could come back soon crying, right?

That's also not like him.

Then, I should be refreshed, right?

Refreshed.

I am Aki's friend.

I am a close friend of Haru.

Really? I see.

He seems nice, doesn't he?

- Yes? - Yes!

Did you two come by their request?

- No! By our own will, right? - Right?

Well, Aki is my girlfriend and she waited for me.

I'm the one who made her lonely.

I understand that it happened with someone she didn't like.

That's so nice of you.

I will forget that, she will too.. I guess, everything is going to be fine?

Well, that's.. right? Right?

Something is strange.

Huh?

Whatever the circumstances, you left Aki-san unattended for a long time.

No, I meant...

What are you saying?

No, I have no intention to critisize you.

I'm a man too, so I'm just thinking what would I do in your position.

The fact that you left Aki-san alone like that,

You have a lot of confidence in yourself,

If that's not the case, I think there's only one other reason.

You didn't think of Aki-san as a right woman to marry.

It's not like that. We promised to get married.

You weren't worried, you didn't believe someone could take her.

I believed in her.

Wonderful!

You didn't expect it?

But a strange bug stuck to her,

Quite opposite of yourself.

Unbelievable to you and at the same time making you fiercely obsessive.

You don't want to hand her over.

But you can't forget her affair for the rest of your life.

Despite bothering you, mouth can't say it.

By getting married and having children

In time, she might love you for sure.

Still you're going to doubt her.

But you can't say it, cause if you do, your family will fall apart.

Is that all you want to say? It's time...

It's a nonsense to get married under these cirumstances.

You're smart and handsome like me.

There are plenty of other women.

I'll take my leave.

That idiot doesn't seem to have so many matching women.

I'm not saying this because I'm his friend.

If you agree,

I wish that you could give her up.

If you do so...

Then?

I will respect you.

Somehow, I think that Aki could be happy with this guy.

To say that, it's like the end!

Sorry.

Another penalty game!

Again?

I heard that you resigned?

What about it?

I decided to be a coach of an useless team for just one season, after all.

Is that the only reason?

Coach, your eyesight is not good?

Is it gradually getting worse?

Everyone on the team knows it.

There's still some time until it's completely blanked.

Besides, I can still live even if I go blind.

It's impossible to be alone, unless someone is by your side.

There is no such partner.

Isn't there Youko-san?

What are you talking about? Didn't you tell her...

To keep thinking of Anzai for the rest of her life.

No, nursing is a different matter.

I'm not an old geezer!

You're stubborn as one.

I don't want to hear that from you.

Being stubborn to be your own.. I might be the one as well.

There should be a limit for acting cool.

By looking from a side, you seem like a fool. Lonely one.

Go back soon, tomorrow is the final match, right?

I'm so excited I can't sleep.

Then, would you like me to read you a bedtime story?

Oh, that's good.

I prefer Red Riding Hood.

I'm the one who asked for help of your "Little Red Riding Hood" to drop the charges.

Do you know the story after?

Back story?

Little Red Riding Hood is getting married.

The wolf went to Canada to meet the Ice Goddess on behalf of someone.

I haven't handed the ticket to the wolf yet.

- Give him tomorrow. - If you win tomorrow.

OK, boss.

Leaving the team? I didn't hear nothing.

He's going to join the NHL tryout.

Seriously?

Big brother is going away.

He's not going to die, you fool!

- But... - Haru!

Even though I'm going...

Honestly, I'm not at all worried about our team.

Yamato's injury will only get better.

And I think that Tomo would also become a full-fledged center.

Mako... when it's about him who might know?

But above all else, our team has an excellent coach.

The coach Hyodo will guide our team next year and further more.

Well, everyone already know about the coach's physical condition.

Haru-san!

Actually, the problem is that he cannot directly instruct you during the game,

Still, by sitting and watching you from the bench,

I think that he's very important.

Therefore...

Please, take care of us.

Please, take care of us.

Please!!!

Listen up! In today's game,

They will attack from the first half like before.

If they scort 1 point, they will defend as a tortoise shell.

We won't let them!

Just don't be shaken by giving a score.

Rather, that's when the battle begins.

We can't win unless we break the green turtle's shell.

How?

I will definitely break it.

- Big bro. - Trust me.

I believe in Haru-san.

Me, too.

From today on, you guys are going to be more popular.

I believe you, Haru.

So, fast!

Moreven, today!

We'll be rewarded.

- Great! - Great!

Today's game is the last game for this line-up.

Let's go!

I'm Iceman!

We are Icemen!

I'll get the championship!

We'll get the championship!

Let's get a win, win, win! Team Scorpions go~!!!

Give your best, Scorpions!

Wait, you should cheer on that side.

Well, since I'm a company employee, I'm on this side.

Oh, really?

Humans are weak creatures.

Everyone will think about an easy excuses.

Once bent, it's embarrassing.

But if it happens two or three times, the shame gradually fades away.

If you fight with all your might, think how you won't lose.

Listen, this is the last spot on your way to climb,

Winners or losers.

We won't be losers!

Don't give up until the last second!

Don't give up until the last second!

Let's go!

Think there's nothing you can lose!

A party!

You're quite peppy, today.

Oh, it entered.

~Cool~

Huh? This "Woman" makes me sick!

From now on, the opponent will go to defense.

Coach!

Go!

What?

Wait a minute, Yamato-san, you can't play in your state.

I'm fine.

How could you...

Let's go!

Let's go!

Hey, Yamato-san joined the match.

Ridiculous!

He can barely walk with a crutch.

That's true.

The match's decided.

It's alright, we won't attack anymore.

Scorpions are poisonous.

So cute! It's hard to pick up from this many.

Each of all would suit you well.

Really?

Yeah, how about trying it on?

Yes

Right or left?

Right, after all.

Beautiful.

Thanks.

What was I looking at you?

Which one this time?

Nice pass.

Unfortunately, his movements are completely intercepted.

Call me Shimamura.

Yes!

Makoto!

Yes?

Yes?

Strike in from the side and get Satonaka' pass.

Lure out their defense as much as possible.

Yes!

You know, it looks a bit different because we say we'll do it.

Aki...

Huh?

Sorry.

What?

Let's break up.

What?

We'll get you another.

It's useless.

Look carefully.

We did it!

Nice work.

Take this lesson, spoil kid.

Yamato!

Is your leg sore?

Is that so?

Are you alright?

I did it, Haru-san.

I'll leave the rest to you.

Rest assured.

Hey!

He hurt his leg, take him to the infirmary right away.

1, 2, 3...

Watch his leg.

Yamato...

Oh, Yuri!

I had a girlfriend abroad.

Young college student who came to study fashion.

Understood?

I have no right to criticize you.

Despite betraying you,

I believed in you.

Rather than believing in you,

I didn't believe that your heart could be shaken.

But finding the reality, I rejected the fact that I could lose you.

It wasn't love, it was obsession.

It's not...

I barely understood you.

- Not true! - I don't love you!

I can't get married.

Now, there is a part where I can understand you a bit more.

But it's too late.

While I was away, I thought that my absence made you lonely.

However, it wasn't.

You are not like that.

You are attracted to him straight from the heart.

Because, even for a moment, you would give your life for him.

Go on, Aki.

Go to the one you love.

Goodbye.

Yes, go Tomo-san!

Go, go...

What a...

An ambulance is coming soon.

That hurts!

It's all your fault for entering the game.

Is it alright? Not cheering for him?

- Yes? - That guy.

That man has a fianc�e, it was published in a magazine.

She is very rich, too.

Really?

I asked him.

So do you know what he said?

Who knows...

He told me not to be upset.

Love and marriage are separate things.

Was he asking me to be his mistress?

Even so, you could have a lot of money...

Sorry, but I'm not obsessed with money that much.

Hmm~

What's that sound for?

Nothing, just.. If you're not that much, how far you are?

How far?

I'm sure you'll laugh, so I won't say.

I'll laugh if it's funny.

I got a raise from this month.

How much?

It's 2000 yen.

Really?

You don't laugh.

Prove to me instead.

Huh?

Say to me that we might be happy even without money.

If that's the case, rest assured.

Don't just say "Rest assure"...

It hurts!

Does it hurt that much?

Yes, it does!

Haru!

Big bro!

What's the matter?

It's Haru-san.

- Big bro! - He can't get up.

It looks like he hit the head.

Satonaka-san...

Aki?

Haru?

Haru!

- Is he alright? - Yes.. maybe.

Maybe?

He's a bit strange.

Don't force it.

Stop him!

Haru?

Amazing.

Another one passed.

Awesome.

Did you see her Satonaka?

What?

He's unstoppable now.

Go bacl!

How long will you do that?

Haru!

We won!

He did it, we won!

We won!

We won.

Congratulations!

It's a mild concussion.

It will be more clear after close examination.

Where's everyone?

They're celebrating, big time.

What is that?

Celebrating what? Who scored?

I have to go, too.

Hey, you need to calm down.

Just a joke.

'cause this is our way.

Celebrate without hesitation no matter who falls.

Coach, was it the same when you were player?

Yes

That's it.

Please prepare the promised ticket.

- Satonaka? - Yes?

Did you see her?

The goddess?

If that was her...

How was she?

I can't say for sure.

Don't make it harder!

Yes?

Nurse,

I'm alright, it seems like I do not have a fever.

Well, if the coach tells me something first,

I'll tell about the goddess.

What about?

Anzai-san's letter.

Was it really just about me?

Because the Anzai-san I knew wasn't such an irresponsible person.

Indeed, there were other requests.

He asked me to support Youko.

Hmm, just as I thought.

So what about that promise?

Are you going to ignore it?

Of course, I already...

Can barely see?

That's right.

I'm thirsty, so I'll go to the vending machine.

Coach, would you like something?

No, I'm fine.

What about you, Youko-san?

Ah, Coach,

The Ice Goddess...

Wouldn't her appearance depend on a viewer?

Oh, I just hit my head a little.

Tosser.

There is one thing Anzai is wrong.

You can't support me.

I will support you.

Can you lend me some coins?

Huh?

My throat is dry.

Ah!

Thank you.

Congratulations on winning!

Congratulations!

What's the matter?

Safe trip!

Safe trip, Haru.

OK

Cheers!

Everyone wanted to come.

Especially Makoto.

I don't like it, feels depressed.

Do you have to say that anymore?

Just you is fine.

Like in high school?

Yes

What about Aki-san?

Huh?

Her marriage is cancelled.

I heard it from Tomo.

So?

So what?

Did you tell her?

What?

- To wait for you. - No.

Why didn't you?

There is no particular reason.

I know, if it not goes well, you'll be embarrassing to return soon?

What did you say?

Well, even if I don't make it this year, for the time being,

I'll stay there to test my limits.

Then, even more you have to tell her...

It's better to be free.

Yes...

I might find a blonde girlfriend over there.

Oh, yes!

Aki-san also?

I don't mind.

- Pretending to be strong. - No, it's not.

It's not.

How could you forget this?

Ah!

I'm leaving.

Why didn't you tell him you'll be waiting?

You're such a fool.

Yuri! Aki thought that if she did that, it would be the same as before.

Just like Natsukawa-san, right?

Not particularly, the words just didn't come out.

Just that?

So you didn't make any promises?

There was no promises.

You're hopeless!

I just want to be ordinary.

Go to work and sometimes go out for a drinks.

Relationship that makes you wait doesn't match. I'm for ordinary.

Did you not like him that much?

Is that so?

Well, it could be...

It's about time.

I mean, I really wanted to attend Haru-san's departure.

Shut up!

I will not, it's not OK!

Eh? What's up?

- Makoto, come over here for a second. - Makoto-chan.

- What are you doing? Come here. - Look at this.

What's this?

Haru asked me.

He gave it to you.

From today on, you'll use this.

No way, definitely impossible.

He must have noticed,

How you had quit drinking and smoking,

Training hard by yourself 'till morning.

Big bro...

Let me tell you, this number has heavy burden.

Yes!

Don't cry.

You cry too much.

So would you like to exchange it for mine?

Your's too light.

He didn't mean no harm.

It's time.

I... you know,

Yes?

Because of you Yamato,

Could come this far.

Period.

See you.

Haru Satonaka!

Hurray!!!

Hurray!!!

It's noisy so please stop it.

Hurray!!!

Haru-san!

You have to make it!

Aki, let's go to lunch.

Sorry, I have to finish this first.

OK, I'll go there first.

Sorry.

Yes, it's the general affairs department.

Yes, the third meeting room? Please let me check.

The end whistle sounded. The second period is over.

But in the next period it will definitely go in.

Haru-san is slowly adopting to a new environment.

He's also increased in size.

That's right.

But why is he wearing number 11?

Coach Anzai was number 16.

Anyway, number 9 belongs to me, Makoto, you said that.

I don't think so.

Excel again, I guess.

Coach, why is Haru wearing number 11?

I don't know, nice work.

Thank you.

3 years?

Shall we go Wataru?

Mom told me to come back earlier today.

Hey!

Haru?

Haru-san!

I'm back!

Why is everyone so neat?

No way.

Big brooo...

Did you wash your hands?

I forgot.

Big bro's back!

Yeah!!!

We are the champions!

Don't you want to hear Haru's slogan after a long time?

Yes!!!

I guess he didn't forget it after he went to NHL...

Gather around!

Let's go!

We got to win, win, win, win!!!

Team Scorpions, go!!!

The first Japanese NHL player,

Haru Satonaka of Vancouver Canax, will give us an interview.

Satonaka sportsman, thank you for speaking to us.

Thank you for having me.

For a start, how does it feel to be the first Japanese at Madison Square rink?

Since I'm alone there, how should I say it...

There's nothing holding me, nothing to protect?

I could do anything.

Even if I fall down somewhere and die,

Nobody would bother.

I had such a feelings before.

Actually, being alone makes you stronger than anyone else.

However, there might be a limit to that.

How should I say this...

The feeling of joy and achievement after doing something,

Doesn't everything come back only to you?

So, did something change?

Is it changed?

If only there is someone to share my happiness,

Just as someone to share my sadness.

I thought that I could be more powerful.

In fact, I think that's one of the reasons why I've been so successful.

There seems to be someone there supporting you.

Is it a girlfriend?

No, I'm not so sure.

Actually, your team-mate disclosed to us that,

There's a really wonderful person.

He said so?

- Yes. - Who was that?

He said you put a photo in the locker?

Oh, I did put a photo.

I have it today, I always carry it with me.

Can you show us?

- Now? - Yes

If you agree I would like to see.

Only couples today.

You're more skilful, aren't you?

Because I'm aiming for NHL.

That's not possible.

Why?

I won't give my position.

I'm surprised to see you here.

It's a huge coincidence.

A coincidence?

Yes

Yuri!

Chika?

Hi!

Some stupid rich man rented this whole place.

Stop calling me stupid!

I did a fireworks, too.

See that?

Tomo-kun , great!

Because Haru-san wants to play it like a game.

Big bro is really shy,

Even though he's a superstar.

I have something that I carry every day.

Could you show us?

Ta-da!

Oh!

This is a really interesting face, the interviewer liked it so much.

You know a song of the four seasons?

Yes

A person who loves autumn (Aki), is a person with a deep heart.

I'm going back next week.

Won't you come with me?

It's hard to come back to recharge every time.

I found out, now...

There's no other woman for me,

No matter where I searched.

Except you, Aki.

Yes!

If it's OK, let's stamp the contract.

Things you say...

Do you say it to anyone?

How could I?

Then I'll swear on my pride.

You're the only one.

Fine.

What?

Maybe?

Must be.

The game begins.. you two. Ready?

'cause I'm gonna do this.
