00:00Today's the day I'll defeat you!
00:03Again? No matter how many times you come, nothing changes.
00:08My name is Riki Wada, a second year high school student and a member of the Go Home After School Club.
00:15I'm an introverted nerd, but due to certain circumstances, I keep challenging her to a match.
00:21The reason is...
00:26You still have a long way to go.
00:30But I really like you. I won't give up, no matter what.
00:35I'm not interested in weak guys. Become stronger and try again.
00:41Yes, it's all to get her to notice me.
00:45The girl who easily defeated me is Saya Kono, the captain of the Karate Club, known as the school's beauty.
00:53Many guys have confessed to her, but one day, she declared that she would only date someone stronger than herself.
01:01Since then, every student who confessed after club activities lost in their challenges.
01:07I lost again today. But tomorrow, I'll definitely...
01:13Are you still not giving up, man?
01:17I don't care what you think. I really like her.
01:21He's a classmate and a member of the Karate Club, Charao Yabasugi.
01:26He's also one of the guys who confessed to Saya and was defeated.
01:31There's no way a nerd like you can beat her. Get real, man.
01:37You don't get it yet. If I train hard, someday, I'll definitely...
01:43If you want to defeat her, start by defeating me first. See you later.
01:48Damn it! He's saying whatever he wants!
01:51But the fact remains that I can't beat Charao either.
01:55What should I do to defeat Saya?
01:58Riki, are you on your way home now?
02:02Hey, Otaku. You were at the club until this late?
02:06Yes, but my name is not Otaku. It's Otakuda.
02:11He is Tamotsu Otakuda, my classmate and my only nerd friend.
02:16You seemed troubled about something.
02:19Well, yeah. I just lost to Saya again a little while ago.
02:24You challenged her again?
02:26By the way, why do you want to be in a relationship with her so badly?
02:30Other guys would have given up after losing once.
02:34I know a kind side of her.
02:37Oh, really?
02:39A year ago, in the rain, she was rescuing a stray cat.
02:43Since then, I've been thinking that she's not only strong but also a kind person.
02:48I've been head over heels for her ever since.
02:51When you genuinely like someone, you shouldn't give up just because you lost a few times, right?
02:57I see. You really do like her.
03:01Yeah, that's why I want to win no matter what.
03:04But I don't know how to do it.
03:06Hmm. A way to win, huh?
03:09Come to think of it, there was a manga with rigorous training of doing 10,000 Seiken punches every day.
03:16That's it!
03:20After that, Otakuda lent me the manga, and I started practicing 10,000 Seiken punches every day.
03:27It was a grueling training that took more than 18 hours to complete the 10,000 punches.
03:33Wait, if it takes this much time, I won't be able to do it on weekdays.
03:39Maybe I can divide it between waking up in the morning, during lunch break, and after school?
03:46It's all for dating her. I can do this!
03:50Starting from the next morning, I made it a habit to wake up at 3 a.m. every day.
03:55I continued the training until I went to school, during lunch breaks, and after school.
04:02My arms won't move.
04:07But if it's for dating her, I can endure this much.
04:12What are you doing?
04:14Saya!
04:16Um, this is...
04:18I'm doing a special training of 10,000 grateful Seiken punches every day to become stronger.
04:23Huh? C-Could it be...
04:27You're serious about me?
04:30Huh? Did you say something?
04:32N-Nothing at all!
04:34Anyway, your form is wrong.
04:37Fine, I'll teach you.
04:39Huh? I-Is that okay?
04:42D-Don't misunderstand! If you practice with the wrong form, you might get injured.
04:46I can't overlook it as a member of the karate club, so I'll reluctantly show you!
04:52Look, the Seiken punch should utilize the rotation of your hips.
04:56Don't put unnecessary force on your shoulders.
04:59H-Her body is touching mine!
05:03Hey, are you listening?
05:06Y-Yes! Focus! Focus!
05:10A short while later...
05:12You've improved quite a bit!
05:15Thank you so much! I promise I'll defeat you and start dating, Saya!
05:20Y-Yeah! Well, do your best, I guess.
05:26Y-Yes! Thank you very much!
05:28I'm so happy that she's supporting me!
05:31I need to work even harder to catch up!
05:34A few days later...
05:36I got carried away with my training and it's getting late.
05:40I should hurry home.
05:42Wait, isn't that...
05:44Saya!
05:47Wait, I heard a really loud scream.
05:51M-Maybe it was just my imagination.
05:53I-I didn't get scared thinking it was a ghost or anything! It's not that at all!
05:58Really? Well then, I'll head home first.
06:02Wait!
06:04D-Don't leave me alone!
06:07She could've just said she was scared, but that's cute too!
06:11Okay, let's walk home together.
06:14N-N-No...
06:17So, you're afraid of the dark, huh?
06:21It's not like that! I'm not a grade schooler!
06:24Even if there's a ghost, I'll punch it away with my fist!
06:28I don't think physical force works on ghosts, though.
06:37S-Something just brushed past me!
06:40C-Calm down! It's just a black cat!
06:44One hour later...
06:46W-We're here!
06:48Y-Yeah, thanks.
06:51Y-You're surprisingly dependable.
06:54Nope, I'm still not on your level.
06:56I will definitely defeat you someday!
06:59O-Okay.
07:01I'll always accept your challenge.
07:03And so, I continued my daily training of sake and punches.
07:08Several months later...
07:10Saya, please have a match with me.
07:13Alright, I'll take you on!
07:17I thought you gave up after not seeing you for a while.
07:20You're still not giving up, huh?
07:22You're obviously going to lose anyway.
07:24And a few minutes later...
07:27Ha!
07:28T-T-This can't be...
07:31S-Saya lost?!
07:34Y-You must have done something sneaky!
07:37I didn't do anything!
07:39Stop lying!
07:40There's no way an introverted nerd from the Go Home After School Club can beat her!
07:46No, I lost.
07:49Huh?
07:51As you can see, I fought with all my might and lost.
07:54So from now on, it's up to you!
07:57No way!
07:59An introverted guy dating her?!
08:02That's impossible!
08:04Yeah.
08:06I also don't have any intention of dating her yet.
08:09What?
08:11Saya, first, please go on a date with me.
08:16Huh?
08:18Even though I won, I don't think you know me well enough yet.
08:22So I want to go on a proper date and make you like me.
08:26You're serious even after winning?
08:29Fine, then let's do it on the next day off.
08:33Thank you so much!
08:37Otakura, thanks for the advice!
08:40Thanks to you, I finally defeated Saya!
08:43No problem! It's all thanks to your effort!
08:47By the way, do you have a plan for the date tomorrow?
08:51Uh... I can't think of anything.
08:55I've never had a girlfriend before.
08:57In that case, I have a recommendation for you.
09:01And so, the day of the date arrived.
09:05Finally, it's the actual date with Saya.
09:09I'm getting nervous.
09:11S-Sorry for the wait.
09:14Huh? This is Saya's casual outfit?
09:18Um, is there something weird about it?
09:21Not at all. You look really cute.
09:25C-Cute? Don't say it so clearly.
09:29S-So, shall we go?
09:31A-Aren't we going to hold hands?
09:34Huh?
09:35It's a date, right?
09:37Is it... not okay?
09:40Of course it's okay! In fact, please do!
09:45Her hand is so small...
09:48C-Come on, let's go already!
09:51Do you have a place in mind?
09:54Yes, leave it to me!
09:57A few minutes later...
09:59This is a cat cafe recommended by my friend.
10:02B-But she is always so cool.
10:05What if she's not interested?
10:07C-Cats!
10:09No, she looks really happy.
10:12I'm glad we came.
10:14Aww, they're so cute!
10:17Come here, kitty!
10:19The one who's cute is you!
10:21Saya, you like cats, don't you?
10:24Huh?
10:25Remember, last year, when you were helping the cat in the rain?
10:29You saw that, huh?
10:31I couldn't keep the cat,
10:33but now I found someone who could take care of it properly and it's living happily.
10:38That's great to hear!
10:40Back then, I realized that you're a kind person, Saya.
10:44I admired you for being strong,
10:46but after knowing about your kindness, I fell even more for you.
10:51You're a strange kid.
10:54Huh?
10:55I don't mean it in a bad way.
10:58It's just that, until now,
11:00everyone who approached me was only interested in dating me based on my appearance.
11:04So if I pushed them away a little, they'd give up easily.
11:09But you were different.
11:11You kept challenging me repeatedly,
11:13and you even put in the effort to improve.
11:16I thought you were a really good person.
11:18Huh?
11:20Until now, I was only interested in people stronger than me.
11:23But from now on, I want to know you as a person
11:27and then fall in love with you for who you are.
11:30So can I stay by your side, Riki?
11:34Of course, Saya!
11:38Is something wrong?
11:40Can you call me like a sweetheart?
11:44Huh?
11:46Because from now on, we might really be dating.
11:49To deepen our relationship, I think it's necessary.
11:53Yeah, you're right.
11:55Then...
11:57My sweetheart, Saya.
12:00Huh?
12:02What's this feeling?
12:04Just from being called like that, my body feels hot.
12:08She gets so brushed from just being called like that.
12:11She's too cute!
12:14A few days later.
12:16Um, are we a bit too close?
12:19It's fine.
12:21Everyone seems to know that I lost to you.
12:24The stares from people around us are uncomfortable.
12:27Lately, Saya keeps sticking close to me.
12:30Maybe she feels the same way about me?
12:34Hey! Even though you're an introverted loser,
12:37you're flaunting it, aren't you?
12:39Chado, you saw that I lost too, didn't you?
12:43If you have a problem with us, then say it after you beat me.
12:47But Riki can't measure up to you!
12:52I don't need to hear your personal opinions.
12:54Let's go, Riki.
12:56Y-yes.
12:58Even though I'm more handsome than Riki...
13:02In that case...
13:04Are you okay?
13:06You don't have to listen to Chado.
13:08Y-yes, thank you.
13:11Well then, I'll go back to the classroom.
13:14Saya comforted me.
13:16But it's true that I'm just an otaku and...
13:19not particularly impressive.
13:21Is something bothering you?
13:23Yeah, I'm actually feeling...
13:26So, you think you're not good enough for Saya?
13:30Well, I'm not some handsome guy or anything.
13:33Maybe I'm just not good enough for her.
13:36That's not true at all.
13:39You, who worked hard every day to be with her,
13:43are an amazing person, no matter what anyone says.
13:47Otakura...
13:49Besides, if you're worried,
13:51just become strong enough that everyone acknowledges you.
13:54Then, you'll be able to protect Saya when the time comes, right?
14:01That's right.
14:02Just winning once doesn't mean anything.
14:05Thank you.
14:06I'll become stronger so that I can stand by Saya's side.
14:10Yes, I'll be cheering for you too.
14:13After School
14:15To become as strong as Saya,
14:17I need to join the karate club.
14:19I wonder what's going on.
14:21Is something wrong?
14:23Well, actually, Saya hasn't showed up for practice yet.
14:27She's usually the first one to arrive.
14:31I'll go look for her.
14:33Where's Riki?
14:35Huh?
14:36What are you talking about?
14:38Don't play dumb!
14:40Didn't you leave a letter in my shoe locker that said,
14:42if you don't want something bad to happen to Riki, come here.
14:45You're not trying to deceive me, are you?
14:48I don't care about that loser.
14:50Besides, I have something important to talk about.
14:54It's about time you date me, Saya.
14:56I refuse.
14:58I already said I'm not interested in weak guys.
15:01Basically, if I beat you,
15:04you'll go out with me, right?
15:06Then, everyone here is your enemy.
15:10What?
15:12Everyone here got rejected by you.
15:14And there are even big guys from the rugby club and boxing club here.
15:19How do you expect to handle all of us?
15:22You coward!
15:24Fight fair and square!
15:26Shut up!
15:27Riki used some cheap tricks to beat you, I'm sure of it.
15:31We won't hold back either.
15:33Come on, let's get him!
15:36Stop it!
15:37Riki?
15:39Ganging up on someone like this is cowardly.
15:42You're the one who used dirty tricks to steal Saya.
15:45You introverted loser!
15:47Then try and see.
15:49If you want to challenge Saya, defeat me first!
15:52Don't underestimate us.
15:53I'm a member of the karate club too.
15:55Let's go, guys!
15:59A few minutes later.
16:02Is that all you've got?
16:03What?
16:05Impressive!
16:06How's expected of Riki?
16:09You let your guard down, loser!
16:11Oh no!
16:14You're the one who let your guard down!
16:16Thank you, Saya.
16:19There's no way I could lose to an introverted loser like him!
16:23Are you sure about that?
16:27During these past few months, his fists have done 10,000 punches every day.
16:35And he leaves the sound of the punch behind.
16:38What?
16:41There's no way we can defeat this guy.
16:43I'm out of here.
16:45Wait, you guys!
16:47Looks like you're the only one left.
16:49Are you still going to fight?
16:51Shut up!
16:52I can take you on alone.
17:00I'm glad I managed to beat him.
17:03Riki!
17:04Thank you for saving me.
17:06You really are strong.
17:08Even so, I still can't get a recognition from others.
17:12If I were stronger, this wouldn't have happened.
17:15No, that's not true.
17:17As you are right now, you're already wonderful.
17:20I realized I really do like you, Riki.
17:25I mentioned it before, right?
17:27All the guys who approached me did it because of my appearance.
17:31But you were the only one who genuinely faced me.
17:34You didn't laugh at my weakness, and you helped me.
17:37I fell in love with that gentle side of you, too.
17:40I also like you, Saya.
17:42Your strength, your kindness, and even the cute side that's secretly scared of things.
17:46I love it all.
17:48So, will you go out with me?
17:51Yes, of course!
17:54The events of that day were recorded by a student and captured on video.
17:58Charao and his gang received suspension as a consequence, and couldn't attend school for a while.
18:04I also faced some consequences, but because it was to protect Saya, it wasn't too severe.
18:10In fact, thanks to the video, people began to recognize my strength, and now I can peacefully continue dating Saya.
18:18Ah, this one is so affectionate and cute!
18:21It's supposed to be our date, but you're only paying attention to the cats.
18:26I know they're adorable, but...
18:29Huh? Saya, you're saying something strange?
18:35Hey, hey, Mickey!
18:37I want you to pay attention to me, too!
18:42Saya is getting jealous of a cat, it's just too cute!
18:56And other videos, too!
