Part 1
Lunch break
Kamiyama High School - Class 1-C
Classmate A
Akito, let's go grab some food!
Classmate B
Won't he be having lunch with his partner like usual? Or who knows, he could even have an appointment with Tenma?!
Akito
That's zero for two.
Anyway, I'm gonna go get some air...

Akito
(It's been a few days since then, but I still can't get what happened out of my head...)
Akito
(I thought I'd processed it already...)
Taiga
As you all are now, even if you spend your whole lives trying, you'll never surpass RAD WEEKEND.
Taiga
I don't doubt that you'll keep getting better. Even if there's a massive skill gap between me and the rest of you, your chances of reaching my level won't be zero.
Taiga
But I'm talking about what's in here. Your heart.
Taiga
RAD WEEKEND was Nagi Kotaki's final event. It was meant to be my little sister's swan song.
Taiga
She found out she was sick and had just months to live, and she decided to use what little time she had left to put on one last event in this neighborhood.
Taiga
That was RAD WEEKEND.
Akito
That night was her last event...
Nagi

Akito
(I can't believe it...)
Akito
(I still remember it like it happened yesterday. The way she sang lit this giant bonfire inside of me.)
Akito
(But...)
Akito
(I... We had no idea why everyone was able to sing with so much energy and passion that night.)
Akito
How were we supposed to know...?
Akito
The truth about RAD WEEKEND... That it was meant for Nagi... The commitment they all made to her...
Akito
And the whole town was in on it...
Akito
...
Akito
(I guess it just means she really was loved by everyone on Vivid Street, and she loved them...)
Akito
(And she literally put her life on the line to perform one last time. It has all the makings of a legendary event...)
Akito
(While I...)
Taiga
Come to think of it, your eyes... Ken always had that same look. Actually, you really reminded me of him during your show today.
Taiga
You might actually have what it takes to become just like him. But it's gonna be tough... Really tough.
Akito
(We...)
Taiga
Credit where credit's due...
That wasn't bad.
That wasn't bad.
Taiga
Honestly, you probably sounded better than I did that night.
Akito
...!
Taiga
Which is why it's time for you all to see.
Taiga
I'm going to show you how RADder and our dreams ended that night.

Argh...
How are we supposed to top that...?
How are we supposed to top that...?
Akito
(But I can't stop now...
I have to keep going like there's no tomorrow.)

Toya
There you are, Akito.
Akito
Toya? What's up...?
Toya
I should be asking you that question.
I didn't see you in class, so I've been searching all over for you.
I didn't see you in class, so I've been searching all over for you.
Akito
I mean, we didn't have plans to have lunch together or anything, right?
Toya
I was hoping that we could.
Toya
I bought some rice balls.
Would you like one?
Would you like one?
Akito
Okay then.
Toya
You have a few options to choose from.
Tuna salad, plum, bonito, salmon...
Tuna salad, plum, bonito, salmon...
Akito
I don't really care.
Toya
So, is there something on your mind?
Akito
Kinda. I was just thinking about RAD WEEKEND, what Taiga said to us and all that other stuff... I can't get it out of my head...
Toya
Me neither...
I keep finding myself going over what happened then.
I keep finding myself going over what happened then.
Toya
However... In the end, I always remember what Shiraishi said.
Akito
About Nagi believing...?
An
She said she believes that we can carry her dream forward...!
An
Then, I'm gonna do it!
An
We're going to surpass RAD WEEKEND and show you guys what things look like from on top of the world!
Toya
Interesting...
How did you know?
How did you know?
Akito
Because I felt the same way.
Akito
Toya...
Akito
Coming up against walls and overcoming them has become pretty normal for us as a team.
Toya
Yes, it has. And no matter how high any future walls are, we'll figure out a way to climb them. Together. I'm sure of it.
Akito
Same.
And I'll be counting on my partner while we do it.
And I'll be counting on my partner while we do it.
Toya
Of course.
