01x05 - Passionate Dancing Night!

[bunniefuu]

"EMERGENCY ROOM ENTRANCE [EVENINGS]"

They said two weeks to full recovery.

Nothing wrong with my head!

You're lucky you got off
with just that much.

Sorry about that, MIYA.

I told you that I'd win.

That's why I told you.

There's no way a slime can win
against the final boss.

But you know... I'll promote you
to a golem or something.

What was that?

He said you looked cool.

I didn't say anything like that!

Huh? Man, Japanese is so difficult.

Let's not fool around. We have someone here
that's next in line for skating against ADAM.

It's my fault. I roped you
into all this, too... Langa.

It's not your fault, Reki. Besides...

What was that just now?

Langa?

"PART #05:
PASSIONATE DANCING NIGHT!"

Langa!

What was that earlier?

Sorry.

--You know--
--No way.

I haven't said anything yet.

You're gonna tell me to not
skate against ADAM, right?

You saw it, right? That guy's insane!

You didn't stop, either, after JOE told you to.

I didn't think he was that level of insane.

But it was just like what JOE said.

You're better off not skating against ADAM!

N-O W-A-Y.

Why are you getting so worked up?

I'm not worked up.

I really appreciate it if you're getting
all pissed off about my injury, but--

I'm gonna skate against ADAM.

You say something to him, too, Manager Oka!

He just won't listen
to what I have to say at all.

Come on, look who's talking here.

Stuff about me doesn't matter.

I absolutely don't want Langa
skating against ADAM.

I know you're worried about this, but...

I just don't want to see him
get hurt because of me.

Okay. I'll try talking to him about it, too.

You seem to be in a good mood.

Oh, Mr. Takano...

Did you get a large contribution or something?

It's nothing like that.

This weekend,

I'm going on a date.

Reki is late.

Yeah. I asked him to go a bit far for an errand.

So, I heard... You're gonna skate against ADAM?

Did you hear from Reki?

It's all over the rumor mill
in the "S" community.

These will keep your injuries at bay.

I'm sure you won't listen to me anyway.

I don't need any.

Don't be so modest.

These are protectors made for skating.

But it looks like they're hard to move in,
and it's faster if I didn't wear them anyway.

Huh?

Y-You mean you're planning
on winning against ADAM?

Yes, if I'm going to do it at all.

Win?

There's no way he's gonna quit now!

What should we do?

What the...

"REPENT AND MAKE EFFORTS"

That was an AI digital giant
calligraphy session from Mr. Sakurayashiki!

Well, that was a great handling of the brush.

The phrase I chose,
"Repent and Make Efforts"...

...means you repent for your past
mistakes and want to recover.

All humans make mistakes.

However, they should be able
to make up for them.

Excuse me! Let me through!

Cherry!

"Cherry"?

Is that someone you know?

No, I have no idea who that is.

Tell me about ADAM! Cherry! Cherry! Cherr--

Oh? This boy may be suffering
from heat exhaustion!

I'll take him to the shade and have him rest!

Ow!

The rules of "S"...

"Once off the mountain, mum's the word."

Are you trying to fight me? "Cherry blossom"
is my name reserved just for that place!

I beg you! Tell me more about ADAM!

It's useless. You and ADAM
are at completely different levels.

It's not for me.

It's for Langa.

He's planning on winning against ADAM.

To seriously think about winning against ADAM...

He truly is a strange boy.

Take me to this friend of yours.

You want to know more about ADAM, don't you?

Am I getting worked up about this?

Welcome--

He should be here in this park.

Where the hell have you been?

More importantly, that just now was--

The Casper Slide that ADAM did is one
of the hardest tricks... in freestyle.

But we just taught him
the basics once, and there he is.

It took me days to just get a railslide down!

He just might be able to do it.

Was this a bit too sweet?

What a classy joint.

Someday, the manager...

I don't like tomatoes.

Do you have any poutine?

Like they would! I'd like a pizza!

Guys, sit where you find comfortable.

Hey! Why are you using my place
without permission?

Apparently, he wants to win against ADAM.

You saw how ADAM skates, didn't you?

Then, don't act foolish--

You know...

Four bowls of ramen!

This is an Italian restaurant!

Starting now, we'll be recreating
how the Love Hug works.

Why me?

Start with maximum acceleration
in the direction of travel...

...and using a spin, do a 180
with minimal turning radius.

The important part is what follows.

Right after the 180, you forcefully
bring down the nose you lifted up,

and by doing so, you still have
propulsion even going uphill.

And due to the sudden change
in relative speed...

...it looks like ADAM suddenly approached you.

So close.

You know...

I see.

It's simple once you know
what the magic trick is.

However, it's not that simple in reality.

To give that illusion in perception,

you must always keep your opponent
straight in front of you.

You can't shake your body at all...

...you can't decelerate,
and you do all of it in that one instant.

But this is the end of Love Hug, right?

Reki...

That was your name, right?

Even if you know it, your body will still react.

It's not that easy, you know.

Then, what can he do?

We just confirmed that ADAM is some amazing guy.

Thank you.

I started skateboarding because I had a friend
who asked me to pick it up with him.

But he got injured really badly...

...and he quit skateboarding.

I don't wanna experience
something like that again!

So, I'm beggin' ya...

Don't skate against ADAM!

At first, I was furious.

That he'd gone too far.

But now, it's not just that.

I'm thinking I wanna skate against ADAM.

I can't put it to words well,
but it's like I've already taken the first step.

Like something lit up.

It'll be fine!

How do you know it's gonna be like that?

Because even if I got injured,
I wouldn't quit skateboarding.

So, it's gonna be all right.

You promise?

I do.

Are you a kid?

This is how grown-ups do it.

Don't be reckless.

Yeah.

"SK8 the Infinity"

"LITTLE"

"LANGA"

"LANGA"
"DODGE...."

"SK8 the Infinity"

Welcome back, Mr. Ainosuke.

And the preparations?

I have one set readied in the car.

Good boy. Just like what your master ordered.

It'll be fine, Dad.

I'm really having fun skateboarding now.

It's just like when I started
snowboarding with you.

I wonder why.

I'm heading out.

Which one will win?

ADAM, of course!

It's SNOW!

So, you're here.

Where's ADAM?

Not yet.

Is he gonna pretend like this
is the Battle of Ganryujima?

Ganryu--

You know, Ryoma Sakamoto...

It was Musashi Miyamoto. How embarrassing.

That was a joke, okay?

It's ADAM!

The legend has arrived!

ADAM...

This is a sign of our acquaintance.

These flowers symbolize...

..."passionate love."

Thanks.

You're accepting that?

Oh? Are you guys on their side?

Who knows?

You're the one who parted ways from us first.

Was it so?

Langa...

I know.

He's doing it again!

But...

Hey, look at that!

What's going on?

What the hell's that rookie thinking?

Pardon my rudeness, SNOW.

Now, let's begin.

Langa!

No, that was fine.

ADAM won't leave Langa in the dust.

Because it won't be fun
to do something like that.

There can't be real love
in a long-distance relationship.

There is a weakness to Love Hug.

He can only use that trick on a straightaway.

Why's that?

It's impossible to stay directly in front
of an opponent as they're turning, right?

I see!

If you don't get near him in the straightaways,
you won't eat his Love Hug!

Pass him in one go at the corner!

Did someone give you ideas?

ADAM is overwhelmingly better
in both speed and technique.

But if things get messy in the abandoned
factory, the race's up for grabs.

You evil rascal... You used that boy.

It was a deal that was
profitable for both sides.

You have your sights
on the abandoned factory.

Will it not last to the abandoned factory?

It's here!

Here, here! Right in my heart!

Squeee!

Now... Little Langa...

...dance with me!

Langa!

Is he testing...

...how much Langa can endure?

Dammit, ADAM!

We're approaching a big corner now!

Here we go!

This is so fun, SNOW!

Oh? Is something the matter?

Please don't tell me you're scared.

Love-Love-Love-Lovely!

He narrowed the turn radius to speed up!

What the hell's Langa doing?

Wonderful!

It seems that you're the same
type of person as myself!

ADAM has pulled out ahead again!

He's gonna Love Hug!

Carla, how long to the abandoned factory?

They are halfway there.

If he can keep it like this,
is there a slight chance that he could?

Another corner's coming up!

Then, there won't be a Love Hug!

We'll see about that.

Impossible!

I thought he could only do that
in straightaways!

Furthermore, he's predicting
how Langa will move!

Tracing?

Langa!

Come here...

...into my arms!

Love Hug!

Seriously?

The Love Hug...

Langa broke out of it!

I didn't think such a method...

Damn that kid.

I found you.

You are...

...my true...

...EVE!

They're gonna be here soon!

Really?

Huh?

Langa...

I'm sure you can make it.

What the...

He's drawing me in!

He's going toe-to-toe against ADAM!

But he's going too fast!

If he were to topple over...

He can't pull back now!

Langa...

That just now...

No way! We've never seen cops
around here before!

Why now of all times?

You guys better hurry, too!

Where's Reki?

Reki!

The police are coming. Please enter the vehicle.

Little Langa...

I'll make sure to see you again.

Love again!

What are you doing in a place like this?

Uh...

Um...

Hop on!

Hey, you!

Hold up!

This is strange.

I believe we have taken this location
out of the patrol route.

Contact the chief of the prefectural police.

Ouch!

You were so reckless.

You were the reckless one!

What was up with that?
When you jumped over ADAM...

When I was spinning with ADAM,

I thought it'd be better to get closer
instead of further away.

And so, you tried it out?

Yeah.

You know... What happened to
the promise you wouldn't be reckless?

I'm sorry.

But you know, I'm glad...

...that you were all right.

Langa...

You should stay away from him!

Got it.

Man, I'm starving!

Let's grab something to eat!

Yeah.

I think there was a ramen shop somewhere
around here! Where was it? I think it was...

What in the world was that?

"NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW"

"NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW"

--It's summer!
--It's the beach!

--I'm gonna hit on some girls!
--My mentor!

All right! You go ask out that girl
in the kimono over there!

Roger!

Wait, why are we in a graveyard!

We're visiting graves.

She's counting the offerings!

What a methodical girl!

I don't see her legs!

"PART #06:
STEAMY MYSTERY SKATING?!"

It's okay as long as she's cute!

"PART #06:
STEAMY MYSTERY SKATING?!"

No way!
