01x12 - Honô no ketchaku! Saishû kessen!

[bunniefuu]

She made a dash...

Straight towards the ball?!

Danko-chan hasn't thrown in the towel!

Yes, that's more like it, Danko-kun!

It's just like Dad said.

The stronger the rivals I battle,
the stronger I become as well!

Come on, Ran...

I need you to make me stronger than ever!

- "The Battle Reaches Its
Blazing Conclusion!"

- The Battle Reaches
Its Blazing Conclusion!

Go on...

Make me stronger!

Danko!
- Danko-chan!

Hmph. I knew that was only bluster.

You can barely stand anymore.

This ends now!

Wh-What's she doing?!

All her energy

is flowing into the ball!

Th-That's not all...

ch*nk-chan?

I felt it in the ball
when I was taken out.

Ran-san greatly despises dodgeball.

To her, the sport is only a means
to destroy her opponents.

Danko-chan! You musn't
let the ball hit you!

I'll give you a taste of the hell
we've been through!

Did she bounce the ball?!

Wh-What the?!

-Danko!
-Danko-chan!

We'll do whatever it takes
to defeat our foes.

That's how we play dodgeball!

Danko-chan!

Our captain put her darkest,
deep-seated thoughts into her shot.

She conveyed our despair through her ball.

No one could stay sane after directly
receiving those gruesome memories!

No one!

The Black Armors?!

- Slash

- Slash!

Wh-What am I seeing?!

Where am I?!

Aren't you going to sleep, Ran?

Satsuki.

I have to improve my throw.

Otherwise we won't be able
to survive the days ahead.

I see.

Even so, you need to stop trying
to do everything yourself.

I understand that.

Doing this also helps calm me down.

Despite how treacherous
things are, I still haven't...

I still haven't...

It's over. There's no place for the weak.

b*stard! The ball is sacred!

Sacred, my a*s!

What you have there is
a weapon covered in filth.

All your pretty words about
protecting your team is bullcrap.

The fact is, your dodgeball
leads to bloodshed!

Bloodshed... Bloodshed... Bloodshed...

S-Stop...

Don't do it, Ran!

Stop!

You have to stop this, Ran!

Let me go!

Captain...

Stop it, Ran!
- I'm scared...

Ran!

I hate this.

I hate this... this...

I hate playing dodgeball like this!

I hate it so much!

Where is this?

That's Dad's grave!

Danko.

Dad...

Dad!

Always look ahead, Danko!

Dad!

Go all out! You have to give your best
against whoever you face!

All... out...

Believe in your dodgeball!

Got it, Dad!

Watch over me, Dad!

I'm gonna do it!

I'll take everything I have

and go all out against Ran!

Sh-She caught it!

What?!

I-It couldn't be!

Surely she won't throw
the ball from there?

Danko-kun would!

Wait a minute!

She's out cold!

She's unconscious and in freefall!

Danko-san!

D-Danko!

She's taking a shot
even though she passed out!

Very well...

I'll thoroughly destroy you!

She wants to stop Danko-chan's
shot at point-blank range!

Is she trying to
counteract Danko's force?!

I reject everything you stand for!

No! She'll get her first!

- "Danpei"

- Danko!

Danko!

Go all out!

Let the fire rip from your fingertips!

Is this it? The legendary shot?!

No way?!

Yes it is!

The legendary Flaming Shot!

I won't be defeated by that!

Hah! I stopped-

I-I'm losing... Defeat...

means death!

Guys!

Sorry...

Forgive me!

Wh-What's this?

Could it be? Is the Captain receiving
her opponent's thoughts?!

What?!

Ran!

Danko!

Danko-shan...

She won!

Danko finally pulled it off!

The Flaming Shot!

You never cease to amaze, Danko-kun!

This is just like what Daddy told me!

Ow...

Excellent work, Danko-san!

You were amazing!

Way to go, Danko!

Something's not right...
Where's the whistle?

That's the warning alarm!

Look, over there!

I'm getting a power
reading from the ball?!

Ran?!

I refuse to accept your dodgeball!

I deny it with every fibre of my being!

"Flaming Dodgeball Girl Danko"

Ran's completely spent!

I can catch that!

This is nothing!

I don't understand how they're still
standing with those injuries!

Danko-chan!

H-Here I go, Ran!

It hurts...

What am I doing?

Where am I?

Who is she?

She's all beat up...

So why is she smiling?!

How?!

The fact is, your dodgeball
leads to bloodshed!

I hate playing dodgeball like this!

Why do you look like
you're having so much fun?!

Pull yourself together, Captain!

Hang in there!

Captain!

Please, you have to get up!

You got this, Ran!

You can do it!

Danko...

Let's cheer her on!

Okay!

Do your best, Danko!

Don't you call it quits!

Danko-chan!
- You can do it!

Ran!
- You can do it!

Danko-san!

Show 'em what you're made of!

Fight on! Flaming Ball Girl!

Go, go, Danko!

Ye can do it, Danko!

We don't want either of them to lose!

The roaring cheers are causing tremors!

I've never seen anything like it!

You can do it.

Go for it, Danko-sama!
- Go for it, Danko-kun!

You can do it!

Tamagawa Dodgeball Club!

You got this!

You can do it!

You can do it! You can
do it! You can do it!

That's the spirit, Ran!

You can do this, Ran!

You can do it!

That's right, I have to win!

I have to protect my teammates!

Dodgeball is only a means to survive!

I can still fight!

All it does is give me pain...
and suffering...

So why do I feel this way?

Great catch, Ran.

Are you having fun?

I am!

That's how dodgeball should be.

You have many friends and rivals
out there waiting to meet you!

Yeah!

What was that?

I'm...

Now we're talking!

Look at our captain.

She's having fun playing dodgeball.

Ran!

More... I want more!

Let's play dodgeball some more!

Huh?

Let's play dodgeball...
Let's play dodgeball...

Sure...

Let's do this again.

k*ll!

The match is over!
The Tamagawa Dodgeball Club wins!

They won!

They did it!

Danko!
- Danko-chan!

Ran!

Captain!

There they are! There they are!

There they are! There they are!
There they are!

There they are! There they are!

I found you at last, Ran.

Dad!

Without further ado!

The Super Secret Dodgeball Championship
award ceremony is now underway!

Will the Tamagawa Dodgeball Club
representative please step forward!

Coming!

Aw, yeah! Yippee!

She's a lively one.

You wouldn't believe
how injured she was before.

All she needed was some lunch and a nap.

Doesn't take much to
get her running again!

This certificate is in recognition
of your outstanding achievement-

Congratulations, Danko-kun!

Peiko?!

Saint Arrows!

Accept this gift from me to you!

Hey! You call this a gift?!

- Quarterfinals Ticket

- We qualify for the quarterfinals?!

Quarterfinals?!

That ball is your ticket!

We'll determine who's the best
in the world, Danko-kun!

You mean...

We haven't become the champions?!

Exactly!

Your victory is within the A Block!

Up next is a battle with
the powerhouses of the other blocks!

What?!

Saint Arrows are of course
the winners of our block!

With ease, I should add!

That's the first I heard of this.

I did wonder about the
lack of competitors.

We still have many strong teams to face.

Which means...

The championship isn't over!

Right you are, Danko-kun!

That's just perfect, Peiko!

Let's go! Our battle has only begun!

Yeah!

"Ryoma Sakamoto"

It's the dawn of dodgeball!

Go, fight!

Dodgeball is fun!

Go all out!

Dodgeball Club Tryout This Way

Good morning, everyone.

The Tamagawa Dodgeball Club is always seeking
members as we work towards the finals.

So there you have it!

Time for the dodgeball club's custom.

The Thousand Dodgeballs!

Why are we caught in this?!

Help, Peenko-san!

You gotta save us, Peenko!

For the last time, stop calling me that!

We approve of you playing dodgeball.

But keep it safe, please!

Yes, ma'am!

Training with the team
in the morning is so fun.

Mochiko-chan!

Oh?

Oh dear...

Nice one, Mochiko!

We're not done!

C'mon, show some spirit!

I applaud how you're already
preparing for the coming battle!

Saint Arrows?!

I just had to see you before the finals!

Allow me to show you the ropes!

Don't hesitate to run
me ragged, Danko-kun!

Huh?

Where is she?

Peiko-san.

You can find Danko-chan at her usual spot.

Where is that?

Morning, Dad! Morning, Grandpa!

Come at us, Danko!

Here I go!

Dodgeball, the fiercest
combative ball sport in history!

I'm going all out!

We are witnessing a new
dodgeball legend in the making!
