That flew by so quickly.

So much so that we didn't even have time to cheer him on.

I'm worried about Kaguragi.

It looks like he may have injured himself.

Wouldn't it be wise for him to withdraw?

He won't withdraw.

He will appear for the next match.

Oh, yes.

Here.

What a lovely wedding venue.

I've placed a reservation on this place.

What?

Remember how we spoke about how lovely it would be to hold the ceremony on your birthday?

What do you think about announcing your wedding

after the match tomorrow when the victor has been crowned?

I'm still a little bashful about this, but it's lovely.

What do you think, Tenma?

I think it looks good, too.

Let me have a look, too.

Sure.

Contact the place and tell them I'd like to move the booking forward.

Very well.

Excuse me!

What do you want?

You'll be in attendance tomorrow as well, right?

Please watch over him.

- Because this contest is - - One that I organised.

With you on the line.

My son will finally let go of his feelings for you

and stop causing further trouble.

You suggested this contest because you thought Kaguragi would lose?

He's been fighting tooth and nail

just to hear you praise him.

I'm glad we got to talk.

- This one looks nice and stylish. - Yeah.

Which one do you prefer?

Why can't I go to practice?

Doctor's orders as well.

Can I win against Hase if I rest?

No, right?

I'm relieved.

Same. I thought he'd be more depressed.

I don't have time to be depressed.

Come to think of it, where's Megurin?

As if she'd be here.

How is she supposed to act around Haruto?

But Haruto's injured...

Don't badmouth her.

I'm the one at fault here.

In any case, get some proper rest today.

It doesn't matter if you're depressed or whatever, it's all over if you don't win tomorrow.

I won't let things end tomorrow.

Not a chance.

- Master! - Ow!

- Ah, my apologies. - What are you doing?

This all must be so complicated for you too, Oto.

The truth is that you want to cheer for both of them, right?

I've already made up my mind to cheer for Tenma.

Then perhaps you could pray that they both battle without any regrets?

I'll just leave this in Kaguragi's dressing room.

Nobody should be around at this time to find -

- Kaguragi's practicing so early in the morning? - Twish! Twang!

Bull's eye!

Haruto Kaguragi lands a perfect shot!

The winner is Kaguragi!

Fireworks, BANG!

And the crowd goes WILD!

Ready, go! Kaguragi!

Haruto!

Kaguragi!

[Boys Over Flowers Season 2]

[Final Episode]

Edogawa?!

H-H-How long have you been standing there?!

From the "Twish, Twish, Twang!" part.

No way...

What are you doing?

- Mental training. - Huh?

Training in your mind.

The doctor told me to rest my wrist until just before the match.

I've never seen such a noisy kyudo match before.

And you don't have to be at the kyudo range for mental training.

Do you have to nitpick everything?

Here.

Washington?

You're returning this to me again?

No.

This is what you need the most right now.

I'm letting you borrow it.

Huh?

I...

am going to cheer for Tenma.

But...

I want you to fight fairly with all your might.

You were the one who gushed about Washington's powers.

Thanks.

Is your hand okay?

Heroes always rise in the face of adversity!

You're seriously hopeless.

Hm? What?

It's just... That phrase of yours really irritated me at the start,

but hearing it for the first time in a while is kind of nice.

The heck?

Maybe it's because now I don't mind

the hopeless me anymore.

Leave! Don't give me trouble!

You don't have to raise your voice.

We're just here for a little discussion.

Walk properly!

I'm certain that I've paid you enough.

Nowhere near enough.

Get a hold of yourself!

You won't understand unless you taste some pain, then?

Stop that!

What in the world was that just now?

What else could I do? I'm injured!

Who the hell are you two?!

Down with Eitoku.

He's the culprit who attacked me!

What?

- Someone! - Help!

Someone, please! There are bad guys here!

Someone!

Someone?! Please?

Are you okay?

If you'd never gotten in Hase's way,

then I wouldn't have had to get my hands dirty.

Ow!

Ouch...

Konoe, what's the meaning of this?

Answer me, Konoe.

I told you! He paid us for our services!

Ow, ow, ow!

I'm taking the three of you to the police.

Oto.

I'm really sorry.

Please let me explain when I get back.

It's okay, Tenma.

What?

Because now you know

that what I said was true.

And you all should never come near us again!

Got that?

Understood.

- Right? - Yeah!

Ow...

Hase...

Don't come near me.

I have nothing to say to you.

Get out of my sight.

Disappear.

Oto.

I'm sorry.

You were right

the whole time,

yet I didn't believe you.

- Tenma... - I'm sorry.

Please leave me alone.

There might not be any support for Eitoku today, considering Haruto's loss yesterday.

We should just cheer louder to make up for it.

Hey, look at the crowd!

There are more supporters than yesterday.

[Eitoku's hero! Everyone's hero! You can do it, Haruto!]

[Snatch up victory with your charisma as C5's leader!] [Show them your Eitoku spirit!]

[Don't lose, Kaguragi!] [You'll win for sure!]

We've even gotten messages from students who couldn't make it.

We wanted to help Kaguragi in any way we could!

Hearing you say that filled me with the urge to hug you two.

I'm happy for you, Kaguragi.

There may not be a lot of them

but your spirit has reached the people out there.

Say,

the dignity that you guys wanted

is what we're seeing today, no?

Maybe.

We will now commence the second round of the interleague contest between

Haruto Kaguragi and Tenma Hase with a kyudo match!

You must be nervous as well, Oto.

What?

Because you'll be presenting a speech about your wedding with Tenma after this.

Now let's welcome in the athletes!

I'm counting on you, Washington.

Hase?

Hase?

My apologies.

What's up with him?

Tenma?

The match will be decided on accuracy.

The competitor with the most arrows on target wins.

Haruto Kaguragi will go first.

Kaguragi.

I suggest that we delay this match.

There are lots of unfair factors today.

What's gotten into Haruto?

Kaguragi. Are you doing this for Tenma?

It's fine, Kaguragi.

Don't worry about me.

You're injured, after all.

But...

What do you say?

The match will go ahead.

Okay.

Then we shall proceed with the match.

First up is Haruto Kaguragi.

Haruto's incredible today!

But Tenma Hase will shoot one smack down the middle.

What?!

He missed?

It's okay. That was only his first shot.

Tenma...

I'm really impressive today.

- What on Earth is happening? - What on Earth is happening?

C-Could it be... The effects of Washington?!

It must be thanks to his right hand.

What?

Remember what Nishikado said?

You can't help but tense up your dominant hand.

Your arrow will lack stability as long as your hand remains tense.

The injury to his right hand

has freed it of unnecessary tensing.

That applies to kendo, too.

The general rule is to relax the right hand and just have it guide the shinai.

Really?

A "lucky break" in every sense of the word.

Hey.

Huh?

Is there something wrong with Tenma?

- Refocus! - You got this!

It's okay!

I-If I land this one,

then I win.

Hit the target, Haruto.

Grasp this chance!

Yes!

Huh?

Haruto did it!

He won!

Yay!

The winner is Haruto Kaguragi!

There's no denying that Kaguragi was incredible.

But

I shouldn't have

left Tenma on his own.

Tenma.

I'll make sure to win tomorrow.

Oto.

- About Konoe... - That doesn't matter anymore.

What?

Just like you've done for me in the past,

I'll be here to help you

when you're in a tough spot!

I told you. He's not picking up his phone.

And it seems like he hasn't been home.

Let's just leave it.

Wait.

One last place.

- What? - Where was it

that you rescued Konoe?

Haruto.

It feels like it's been a while.

Yeah.

Huh?

Are you feeling bashful or something?

As if I would, you idiot!

I'm confident in my stir-fried vegetables today!

Right.

It's rainbow-colored?

Go on! Bon appétit!

Thank you for the food.

What the heck?!

It's so sour!

Citric acid is just the thing after exercise, right?

I thought you've at least improved a bit...

Because I wanted to give you a Megurin special dish

rather than use Oto's recipe today.

I hereby declare

that I, Megumi Nishidome,

will cheer for you with all my might tomorrow!

Huh?

To achieve that,

I am breaking up with you!

Just so you know,

this doesn't mean that I've given up on you.

I'll probably always like you.

Until I decide to give up on myself,

I won't give up on my love for you.

But...

I'm releasing you.

So

please fight with all your might!

Sorry

for hurting you so much

and making you feel terrible.

I...

No,

we need to part ways with smiles on our faces.

Megumi.

You can do it, Haruto.

All you have to do is charge ahead

with "Love Power MAX"!

I'll see you.

Bye-bye.

Okay, stop crying.

What?

Come on, let's go.

Where?

Hurry up. Big Sis is waiting.

Big Sis?

Konoe?

I was saved

by Hase here.

He gave me a reason to live,

yet...

where did I mess up?

I've made lots of mistakes myself.

I know how you feel.

But I don't want to continue

to attack or never forgive someone

over a single mistake.

That's not the kind of person I want to become.

Oto.

I'm sorry, Oto.

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Could you join me

for kendo practice?

Yes.

Oto!

Thanks.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Huh?

Oto.

What? I brought her along with me. Got a problem?

No, it's not that I have a problem...

What?

Do you need a reason to invite friends that you care about along?

Hurry up!

Coming!

Big Sis! We're coming in!

Hold up!

Huh?

What?! Who's that?!

- Honey! - Mii-tan!

Please have takoyaki parties with me

and our baby for the rest of our lives!

Of course, Mii-tan!

What?!

M-M-M-M-Megurin!

Megurin! You're so merciful!

So are you saying that you left her on read this whole time because you were working to buy a ring?

That's what he's saying!

Hearing that her dream is to have a takoyaki party with me and our baby,

meant that I had to show her that I'm a man!

But you should still maintain contact.

Mii-tan is only able to focus on one thing at a time.

♪ The awkward way I live my life ♪

♪ is totally rock 'n' roll! ♪

Are you sure you want to marry that thing?

Absolutely!

Because when I'm with Mii-tan, I love myself more than anything in the universe!

I wish I could have been like that, too.

What?

It was the opposite for me.

Before I came to hate myself more than anything in the universe,

I ended things.

Does that mean you two broke up?

Yes.

That's how we stand now, Oto.

Thanks for telling me.

I'm honestly shocked.

But...

I've made the decision to live my life with Tenma.

Oto,

do you love yourself more than anything in the universe right now?

Of course.

I see.

You've been through a lot, Megurin.

In the end,

I guess I never got him to fall in love with me.

That's not true.

I hated you and you really annoyed me at the start

but you're a good person.

I'm sure Haruto was happy to have you around, too.

You saved him so many times.

Airi.

Both you and I need to fall in love a whole lot

to love ourselves more than anything in the universe.

Got it?

Yeah.

Tomorrow,

I'll cheer for Haruto with all my heart.

Right.

Looks like the pretty girl's boosted her womanly power, too!

You got it.

Okay!

Then may I be a candidate for that?

Mii-tan?

I-I was just joking.

I'll be the one who decides if it's a joke.

I-I was totally kidding.

You were kind of serious, weren't you?

No, I wasn't...

Edogawa, do you have a moment?

What did you want to talk to me about?

There's something I need to tell you.

For this contest,

there's actually a deal that I made with Hase.

That's what you wanted to talk about?

What? You already knew?

- Then this will be easy. - The deal has nothing to do with me.

Even if you win this contest,

I will stay by Tenma's side.

Because I decided to live my life with Tenma.

I'll always be praying for your happiness.

It's not like I think

I'll automatically get you if I win.

- What? - You can do what you want.

That's what I came to tell you.

So why the deal?

I...

don't want to lie to myself anymore.

That's all.

Edogawa.

I will win.

And I'll be waiting for you

after the match tomorrow.

At the clock plaza

at Ebisu Garden Place.

You should know

that I won't be there.

That's fine.

It's just something I want to do.

Sorry for suddenly interrupting you.

See you.

Kaguragi's sincere feelings

brought me so much pain.

But...

my feelings are already set.

Tenma, is there anything you want? A drink or something?

Just having you by my side

is plenty for me.

Say...

is your stomach okay?

Don't bring that up!

It'll hurt again if I'm reminded of it.

Guess you're still a wimp even though you've come this far.

Shut up.

Haruto. There's something I want to tell you.

I know it's no excuse, but I said some horrible things to you for the sake of Eitoku.

I'm sorry.

Huh?

What are you talking about?

You only had Eitoku's best interests in mind.

Yes. I thought that was the right thing to do.

But it was your true self...

- So please... - that inspired the hearts of others.

believe in me.

Kaguragi! Kaguragi!

It's your true self that everyone loves.

We,

everyone,

and even Nishikado,

are all cheering for you.

Kaito...

We're proud to have you

as our friend.

Haruto.

Haruto.

Haruto.

Give it

all you've got

in your usual Haruto way, today.

You idiots.

All that sudden kindness is making me want to cry.

You only see the worth in a clear sky

when you've experienced a cloudy one.

Huh? What do you mean?

Wait, who said that famous quote?

By Sugimaru Eibi.

Did you really come up with that?

And it sounded profound, but it's actually shallow.

Totally!

That doesn't make it a famous quote!

When did you start memorizing famous quotes?

When I was two months old.

You couldn't even speak at that age.

Everyone! [Day three: Kendo]

Let's put our entire hearts and souls [Day three: Kendo]

- into cheering for Hase! - Yeah!

- We're all going to cheer just as hard! - Woo!

Haruto, you can do it!

Everyone has genuine smiles on their faces.

I must live a life true to myself, too

Oto, are you okay?

There's no way Tenma will lose.

He just had a bad day yesterday.

Yeah.

The kendo match between Haruto Kaguragi and Tenma Hase will be commencing shortly.

This will determine everything.

The match will consist of one four-minute round.

The final battle is finally here.

I hear that Tenma Hase is good at landing the men* strike. [*One of five strikes in kendo that strikes the center of the head]

Yes, that's what Kaito said.

Okay.

Try and hit my men.

What? But...

Just do it.

Men!

Nuki-do* is the only way to win against Haruto. [*Nuki-do involves dodging a men attack and then striking]

Nuki... do?

Practice nothing but nuki-do,

and aim for the split second when he goes in for a men strike.

Let's welcome in the athletes!

We will now commence the final round of the interleague contest between Haruto Kaguragi and Tenma Hase!

Haruto! Good luck!

Haruto!

Begin!

I won't

miss that single moment.

I'll watch over them

until the last moment.

I like Edogawa.

I won't give up on my feelings for her.

I definitely won't give up on my feelings for her.

Not on my feelings.

No matter the result,

I've already made up my mind.

I won't give up on my feelings for her.

Not on my feelings.

I won't let my feelings waver.

I can't let them.

Oh no, I missed!

I...

I...

love* her! [*"suki" (like/love) sounds like "tsuki" a throat strike in kendo]

Tsu-Tsuki point awarded!

What?

Haruto, you're amazing!

Hey, what was that just now...

A complete lucky blow.

That's such a Haruto way to win!

Thank goodness... I'm so happy for him!

Are you crying, Issa?!

Got a problem with it?

No problem at all. I think it's awesome.

Haruto! Congrats!

You're so cool!

The winner is Haruto Kaguragi!

- Oto! - Great job!

That must've been tough. Let's quickly pack up and head home.

I'm kind of hungry.

Listen,

I've got a favor to ask of you. Do you mind?

What is it?

I want to eat your stir-fried vegetables.

Okay. You got it.

How ridiculous.

I can't let the children ruin their lives over a silly contest.

But if the answer they settle on is after some serious thought, then...

Are you being serious?

Everyone will end up back at square one, you know?

But...

That's...

just life.

Makoto?

My ship docked early,

so I rushed over here.

Makoto!

I'm back.

Welcome home!

Watching a match with everyone so ridiculously invested

leaves you with no choice but to cheer them on, no?

The children always end up

getting caught up in what their parents want.

That's precisely why,

if the children have wholeheartedly thought it through,

then I want to

respect their decision, no matter what it may be.

I would like to

ask this of you, too.

Thanks, Washington.

I see that you came to watch me.

Yes.

A promise is a promise.

Do whatever you want.

What?

If you've got something to say, then say it.

I'm not perfect.

But...

I'll do my best so that you'll acknowledge me one day.

I only need...

a perfect son.

Haruto.

Today, you were...

a six out of ten.

You're incredible, Oto.

You'd never even held a kitchen knife a year ago.

This is nothing.

I can only cook simple things.

Here you go.

Thank you for the food.

It's delicious.

I'm glad to hear it.

Oto.

Thank you so much.

What?

Having you with me this whole time

has really helped me.

All of my memories with you

are my treasures.

What are you saying?

Ever since we decided to be honest with our feelings,

I fell deeper in love with you.

I really, really

loved you.

But...

it wasn't me

who changed you.

It was Kaguragi.

It was the same with today's match, too.

It's always Kaguragi

who conjures up miracles.

I knew this whole time,

but...

I didn't want to accept it.

So I tried to hold onto you

and I ended up almost crushing you,

the person I love.

That's not true.

It's all my fault.

I don't want to hurt you

and you're so important to me.

Yet I...

I...

How I feel about you...

I know.

Let's end things here,

Oto.

The only thing I can do for you

is to give you the push you need

so that you can be you.

Tenma.

You don't have to worry about what others think anymore.

Be true to your feelings.

Thanks, Oto.

For trying to pick me

to the very end.

That alone

makes me plenty happy.

Hey,

stop your crying.

I want you to smile

for me, too.

Go on. Get going already.

I'll be fine.

- But... - Who do you think I am?

As my name suggests, I'm a horse who races through the skies.

I'm Tenma Hase.

Tenma.

Go on!

Go!

Huh? Tenma Hase?

Maya?

We're here to invite Oto to a takoyaki party.

If you're looking for Oto,

she's gone.

Sorry you came all this way to find her.

If you've got time, then why don't you join us?

Thanks.

But I'll pass.

- Huh? - You're pretty cool!

Lend me your ear for a second.

As someone who's experienced heartbreak before you,

I want you to know that lots of fun is waiting for you.

- Really? - Absolutely.

Airi!

- Let's go. - Okay!

See you.

Tenma? I spoke to Mrs. Yukie.

I shall respect the decision you two make.

And allow me to say one last thing.

Now that you've lost, you must get stronger.

I'll be waiting for you at home, so hurry back.

That day...

When I met him...

- the world began to move. - the world began to move.

You're really hopeless.

I've gotten strength from so many people,

- and taken so many detours, but... - and taken so many detours, but...

Honestly. You're a hopeless kid.

Eitoku's in your hands.

You have to get stronger

to protect what's important to you.

Because you said you liked how I do my best to be perfect.

I think that's a strength of yours.

You're a bundle of chaos,

but you taught me the strength of pushing straight ahead.

I'm a weak loser

who's really hopeless.

- I used to hate myself, - I used to hate myself,

- but now I can appreciate who I am. - but now I can appreciate who I am.

I want to eat her boxed lunches.

So good!

Today's stir-fried vegetables are top-quality!

Really? Maybe it's because I made them just for you.

You dummy. Don't say things like that!

- You'll make me swoon! - Huh?

So good!

- So good! - So good!

♪ I am your prince on a white horse ♪

I want to touch her.

I want to laugh so hard I have to hold my stomach.

Hey.

Can you blame me?

You're seriously hopeless.

I'm not bad, right?

Yeah.
