W: Are you sure, Takahashi-kun?
W: I'm 30, you know.
T: I'm not really sure myself, sensei...
sfx: haa x3
T: but for some reason
T: I only like women in their 30s!
T: Senseiiiii!

A: I've come to take your temperature.
sfx: peron
A: Gyaah!

181)
N: Hey, you can't do that, Shiratori-san!!
S: Sorry sis, just couldn't help myself!
N: Don't give me that! This girl's still in training, she's practically a baby!!
S: What's the big deal? Not like it's gonna hurt anything...
N: It's not allowed!!
T: What a rude guy.
T: Gimme a break! Why do I have to share a room with this middle-aged slob?!
N: Takahashi-kun, be sure to show Shiratori-san around the hospital later.

182)
T: Why me...?! (I don't wanna!)
N: You're his senpai here, so it's your responsibility.
N: Shiratori-san, feel free to ask Takahashi-kun if you have a question about anything.
S: Take good care of me, senpai!
T(2b): Ahhh...I didn't want to get involved with this...

T: Haa x3
D: Sorry, but time's up, Hisanobu!!
T: Dammiiiiit...I could barely pull off one floor transfer...
T: A set of five is absolutely out of the question!!
T: Haa x4
T: And a set with each hand is just impossible!!
H: Hoo...
H: The opposite of hoo is...

184)
H: Ooh!
T: How is it that he can do it and I can't?!
T: Haa x2
H(2b): Hiieee...spicy!
H: Uhee!
T(small): Then don't eat it!
T: There's gotta be some trick...
T: Some trick to make it easier...
H: Trick?
T: I think everyone's trick is different...
T: So don't expect to get an answer so easily, even after asking man gifted with such a rare amount of intelligence as I...
T(small): Kuh kuh! You know?

185)
sfx: kataaaan
H: Kuh kuh kuh!
H: 10,000 years!
H: One athletics class!
H(2b): You can't pull up forward, kuh kuh!
H: Huh?
H(2b): ...you have spinal cord damage, right? Where exactly?
H: My seventh verbetrae.
H: And you?

186)
H: My fifth.
H: Disabilities is a simple way to generalize it, but...
H: everyone's is different, you know...
H(2b): What's happened to my own body, and how I move it...
H: That's why I fully concentrate on when I do floor transfers.
H(2b): Full power!! Gyupaaaah!
H: Like that. (Kuh kuh)

187)
H: Eh, you don't know this?
H: Full power gyupaaah?
sfx: gatatan
sfx: gupi
H: Hm...?
H: want some?
T: ...no.
T: Um...

188)
T(2b): Um...why....why did you become disabled?

189)
T(2b): You were hit by a drunk driver while waiting for a signal to change? That's horrible...it came at you?
T: That means you didn't even do anything wrong...
H(2b): That's right. I quelled my urge to hurry and waited patiently for the signal to change.
H: Then, I would finally be able to meet...
T: ...a date? Was it a special day or something?
H: Only 30 of them.
H: the Ultra-Rare Bandage Version.
H: Rurikawa Mikuri-tan's--
T(2b): A figure?! It went on sale that day?!

190)
H: I left home at 5 in the morning...
T: Isn't that a little early?!
D: Kobayashi-kun.
K(2b): Eh? You want me to phone Takahashi-kun's mother? Why?
sfx: zuzu...
D: Tell her not to worry about her son,
D: that she needs to worry about healing her own body,

191)
D: and that she'll be surprised when she sees him nextd.
K: Yes, doctor!!

192)
N: Time to watch my future team
N: in action!
N: Woah!!

193)
N: That's the man I'll be battling for the spot of first point guard next year.
N: Anzai Yoshiki!!

194)
N(2b): Hmmm, not bad...he really is worthy to be my rival...
N: ...seriously, though...
N: He's awesome!

195)
C: Yoshikiiiii!
C: Yoshikiiii!
C: Anzaiiii!
N: As expected from the team's #1 star, he has it all...
N: Speed,
N: shooting ability,
N: and looks...
N: My best attribute, speed, can't even hold a candle to his...

196)
N: Didn't you come here to watch...?
N: What are you standing there allowing yourself to be brokwn for...?
N: I have no intentions of being broken!! I'm gonna win!!
N: Hm...?
N: What the? They're losing!

197)
N: You gotta get on his inside!
N: I'd have passed there.
N: The shooter's open!!
N: Huh?!

198)
sfx: pih
C: waaaaahhh
N: He cut in by himself, inviting a foul from the opponent, and ended up getting awarded a free throw.
N: It's definitely possible...but...

199)
N: No matter how many times you make it up there, it's not certain that the ball will go in every time.
N: Not passing despite the fact that your shooter's free breaks the rhythm.
N: The shooter's there to shoot, after all.
N: The Star Point Guard doesn't let go of the ball.
N: That's the reason they're losing.

200)
sfx: dokun...
N: If I was point guard--
N: I'm glad I came to watch.
N(2b): Now I know what I have to do. There's only a little more than two months left until the tryouts...
N: I can still make it...!!

201)
sign: Hospital
T: This is where we do rehab...
S: Here, huh...?
S: You ever smoke?
T: Eh?
S: I'm not used to this whole wheelchair deal, it's a pain in the ass.
A: Gyaaahh!!

202)
S: Here,
S: senpai.
T: Ah, thanks.
T: Aren't you cold in that t-shirt?
S: Mmm...
T: He's got goosebumps...he's forcing himself to endure...is this one of the aesthetics of a pro wrestler...?
S: ...now that I've got a good look at you, you seem pretty young...stll in high school?
T: ...I'm in my final year. If...I was going, that is.
S: Hmm? Oh, so you dropped out?
T: No, not officially...but it'll probably end up being that.

203)
S: Couldn't bear to go anymore?
T: No...
T: Not that...
S: Mmm...
S: Mmmmm...
sfx: bushuuh
S(2b): Whoops. Want some?
S(2b): Well, don't force yourself to go if you don't wanna, things'll work out. I quit going in my first year.
S: Ever since I was institutionalized, it just became too hard to go back.
T: You were sick?
S: No, a reformatory.
sfx: gaaaan

204)
S: At the time, I had a bit of a resistant streak...
S(small): Kinda embarrassin' now...
T: Fighting, huh?
T: Ridiculous.
S: "We're the toughest ones in this town!'
S: "No, we are!"
S: "No, WE are!!" and so on.
S(2b): You never met any guys like that? Guys who only think about fighting?
T: I wonder...
T: My school was pretty calm...
N(small): Wanna go?
N(small): It's Nomiya, bastard!
S: To be "strong" means to be
S(3b): "wise," to be "cool," and to have "status."

205)
S(3b): It's hard to repress yourself when you want to become strong...I was first put in when I was around your age. Oh, and what I do for a living...
T(2b): You're a pro wrestler. I heard from Kobayashi-san.
T(2b): Was some accident during a fight the reason...? For your disability...
S: No, I was in a traffic accident.
S(2b): I swerved too sharply on a curve while riding my bike, and slammed right into a dump truck.
T(2b): ...I was hit by a truck too, on my bike. Same thing...
T: What was broken?
S: My first lumbar vertebrae...you?
T: My seventh vertebrae.
T: You're better off than me.

206)
S(2b): Nah, I just got here. You look way stronger.
sfx: kusha
T(2b): What? You've gotta be kidding me!
S(2b): When I think about it, I've always wanted to "be strong," ever since I was a kid. All I ever did was say "I wanna be strong!"

207)
S: And what am I now...?
S: Something the public calls
S: "socially weak."

208)
S: Just what is strength, Takahashi-kun...?
S: I wanna be strong, dammit...

209)
T: Alright, one more!!
N: Hah x5
