Izumi | (As usual, the two boys have arrived at the park to practise their skating again.) |
| (However, there were others there before them that day.) |
Touma | “I bet you could also race if it’s a simple course, Akito.” |
Akito | “Seriously!? I’d love to give it a shot! …Hm?” |
|
Raido | “That was my win just now.” |
Chiyuki | “No. It’s mine.” |
|
Akito | “Eh, they’re arguing!” |
Touma | “Those two again?” |
Akito | “This is bad. I gotta stop them!” |
| *skates off* |
Touma | “EH!? Oi, hold on!” |
Akito | “Quit fighting you tw—…urk, UWAHHH!?” |
Raido | “Hm?” |
Chiyuki | “!” |
Akito | “WOAHH!?” |
Touma | “Hold on… wahhh!” |
| *crashes* |
Touma | “Ow… Geez, why’d you rush over so damn fast…” |
Akito | “But, it looked like they were fighting…” |
Chiyuki | “Pff…” |
Raido | “Ahahaha!” |
|
Chiyuki | “Sorry, kiddo. Are you hurt? |
Akito | “N-no. It’s no big deal…” |
Raido | “You were riding well. You might become a big shot in the future.” |
Akito | “Eh? Ah, thanks… Did their fight… get settled?” |
Touma | “Geez, man… can we use this spot already?” |
Raido | “Yeah, no problem. Sorry for interrupting.” |
Chiyuki | “I guess we’ll defer today’s results until next time.” |
Raido | “Bring it on. Next time, I’ll beat you by such a long shot you can’t even complain.” |
Chiyuki | “Ha, that’s my line.” |
Akito | “…They left. |
| It kinda sounded like they were gonna start fighting again though.” |
Touma | “They’re always like that.” |
| “Alright, let’s get back to it and hold our own race.” |
Akito | “Yeah!” |
Audience member A | Chiyuki-san is wonderful…! |
Audience member B | Raido’s super hot~! |
Izumi | (The cool, intellectual Chiyuki contrasts with the powerful, strong Raido, and they complement each other well.) |
| (Azuma-san and Omi-kun devised and rehearsed lots of different fight scenes. The fact this scene changes from show-to-show is also being well received by the fans.) |
| |
| (It’s another day where Touma and Akito are practising as usual. |
| A certain man pays them a visit.) |
Touma | “Ohh, nice one! You’ve gotten pretty darn good, huh?” |
Akito | “Hehe! |
| I’ve finally gotten the hang of it~!” |
Ryuga | “What have you gotten the hang of there?” |
|
Akito | “Eh?” |
Ryuga | “Hm… considering your skating, I feel bad for your poor, little skateboard.” |
Touma | “!?” |
Akito | “W-who are you? Why would you say that…” |
Ryuga | “If you’re dissatisfied, then why don’t we race? |
| Wannabe skaterboy.” |
Akito | “HEY…! Fine then, bring it on!” |
Touma | “Wait. I’ll skate in your race.” |
Akito | “Touma…?” |
Ryuga | “Hmph…” |
| “I don’t mind. Let’s get started right away if you’re ready.” |
Akito | “Touma, why…” |
Touma | “That guy… is a legendary skater called Ryuga. |
| He’s cool, strong, and his skating is brilliant…” |
| “But he’s injured and made other skaters quit countless times.” |
| “The skaters, who weren’t afraid of him, faced him and were forced to quit. So now there’s no one left who wants to compete with him.” |
Akito | “No way… if that’s true, then why did you say you’ll race with such a dangerous dude!” |
Touma | “I can’t keep quiet when he smack talks my friend who discovered the joys of skating.” |
Akito | “…! Touma…” |
| “…Be careful out there, alright?” |
Touma | “…Thanks.” |
Izumi | (The eccentric man Ryuga appears out of nowhere. Homare-san does a great job of expressing his unique, yet elegant aura.) |
| |
Touma | “—.” |
Ryuga | “…” |
Izumi | (We put a lot of effort into the production and projections to make it look like they’re really racing at an extreme speed.) |
| (We created this scene so it’s as if the audience can also feel the momentum and the wind.) |
Akito | “Awesome! Touma’s in the lead!” |
Touma | “Alright, now I’ll—.” |
Ryuga | “Hmph…” |
|
Touma | “!!” |
Akito | “!? He bumped into Touma—!” |
| *shoves* |
Touma | “UWAHHH!!” |
| *falls* |
Akito | “TOUMA!” |
Touma | “Ugh…” |
Ryuga | “What’s this? Are you going to forfeit? |
| You were the one who said you would skate in his place, remember?” |
Akito | “Touma! Let’s end this race here… |
| You’re gonna break before you even win or lose!” |
Touma | “I can… still go…” |
Akito | “Just stop. You can’t even stand.” |
Touma | “…Damn it…” |
Ryuga | “Fufufu, just splendid. You should be proud of that wound. |
| It’s an honourable injury made by I, Ryuga, after all.” |
| “Bye bye for now, loser puppy.” |
Akito | “W-what’s with that guy…” |
Touma | “Sorry… |
| I feel embarrassed for even thinking for a moment that I might win.” |
| “Forget losing the race, I couldn’t even make it to the goal… |
| I’m not qualified to teach you, Akito.” |
Akito | “C’mon, get on my back. Let’s head home for today.” |
