SAKURAGI: LET ME PLAY AGAINST YOU. RUKAWA!
RUKAWA: NO! FORGET IT!
MITSUI: OH, YEAH! YOU WERE ON THE OFFENSE LAST TIME... SO I SHOULD GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO ATTACK.
RUKAWA: YOU ARE SO EAGER TO WIN
MITSUI: YOU HYPOCRITE!
RUKAWA: LAST ONE OKAY...
MITSUI: I KNOW THAT!! VICTORY!! 3 TO 2 I WIN!!
PLAYERS: WHOA!!
SAKURAGI: JERK!
MIYAGI: HOW DIRTY...
MITSUI: WHAHAHAHA HM? WHAT? THAT WASN'T CHEATING OR ANYTHING! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ALERT!
RUKAWA: YOU WERE ON IT
MITSUI: HUH?
RUKAWA: YOUR FOOT WAS ON THE LINE.
MITSUI: WHAT!?
RUKAWA: WE'VE A TIE, SO GO TO OVERTIME!
MITSUI: I WASN'T ON IT! YOU WOULDN'T HAVE SEEN IT!
RUKAWA: I DID, FROM A GLANCE
MITSUI: LIAR!!
RUKAWA: I SAW IT.
MITSUI: YOU DID NOT!
RUKAWA: I DID.
MITSUI: DID NOT! GLANCE OR WHATEVER! YOU WANT TO WIN THAT MUCH!?
SAKURAGI: HEY, HEY, YOU GUYS! LET THIS GENIUS BE THE REFEREE! WINNER!
RUKAWA: YOU BUTT OUT OF THIS!
SAKURAGI: HEH!? YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST MY CALL? WELL, THAT SETTLES IT ALL THEN! I THAT CASE, YOU CAN CHALLENGE ME!
RUKAWA: HMPH...
SAKURAGI: ARE YOU AVOIDING ME... ARE YOU AFRAID OF CHALLENGING ME?
RUKAWA: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
SAKURAGI: COME TO THINK OF IT, WE'VE NEVER HAD A PROPER CHALLENGE BEFORE. I CARE NOT WHETHER YOU'RE #1 IN THE PREFECTURE OR SOME ROOKIE KING... BUT CAN YOU CLEARLY SAY THAT YOU CAN DEFEAT ME?
AKAGI: SHINTAI UNIVERSITY WANTS ME...! THEY ACTUALLY WANT ME!!
HARUKO: AMAZING! BROTHER...!
KARASAWA: HOWEVER, YOU ARE NOT WELL KNOWN IN THE NATIONAL GAMES.
AKAGI: THAT'S TRUE.
SUGIYAMA: WHEN I PLAYED IN THE NATIONALS IT WAS ALSO THE SUMMER OF MY 3RD YEAR, I WAS IN THE SAME SITUATION AS YOU ARE NOW. AT THAT TIME, I WAS THE ONLY MAIN PLAYER IN MY TEAM. IT WAS HARD TO GET INTO THE QUARTERFINALS. FROM THERE, MY LIFE CHANGED!
KARASAWA: IN ORDER TO CONVINCE MY COLLEAGUES, WE NEED TO SEE YOU AT THE NATIONAL GAMES. I DID NOT MEAN TO PRESSURE YOU, AKAGI-KUN! PLEASE AIM FOR THE QUARTERFINALS!
AKAGI: EXCUSE ME FOR SAYING THIS, SUGIYAMA-SAN... SHOHOKU IS NOT A DISARRAYED TEAM. RIGHT NOW... I WANT TO SHOW THE NATION HOW GREAT A TEAM SHOHOKU IS.
KARASAWA: I SEE.
HARUKO: BROTHER...
AKAGI: IN ADDITION, I CANNOT AIM FOR THE QUARTERFINALS... THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IS MY TRUE GOAL.
MITSUI: WE'RE DONE FOR TODAY! GO ON AN WASH-UP!
SASAOKA: HUH? CAN'T WE WATCH!?
KAKUTA: WHY?
SHIOZAKI: IT'D BE INTERESTING!
KUWATA: IT'D DEFINITELY BE INTERESTING TO WATCH THEIR GAME. IN REALITY, IT WOULD BE RUKAWA'S WIN, BUT THAT MATCH BETWEEN AKAGI-SAN AND SAKURAGI SAYS SOMETHING. PLUS, HE'S GAINED A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AS OF LATE. WE MIGHT HAVE A SURPRISING OUTCOME.
KOGURE: WHY THIS...?
MITSUI: IT WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR HIM, IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
MIYAGI: ESPECIALLY THAT GUY!
KOGURE: OH... SO YOU MEAN...
MIYAGI: RUKAWA, YOU DIDN'T GO EASY ON HIM, DID YOU?
RUKAWA: WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
MITSUI: I KNEW IT. THE TRUTH IS, IT'S TOO EARLY FOR YOU CHALLENGE HIM. I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN BEAT HIM.
MIYAGI: ANYHOW, PUT A HOLD ON RUKAWA NOW. THERE ARE OTHER PLAYER YOU HAVE TO OVERCOME. THE TOP PLAYERS OF THE NATIONAL TOURNAMENT.
