Hyakushiki-Ou 05AUG2008 Olympics pt.2

I kinda can't believe I only have one more episode of Hyakushiki-Ou left before I'm finally caught up. I do still plan on doing that later tonight though I get the feeling that at my pace it'll be sometime around midnight. -__-;;

The second episode that covers the Olympics is set up like the first. You get a quiz and then they talk about a world record in the classroom with something there to allow the boys to try to copy it. This first one is the long jump so the have Sanada walk out across the floor from a marking on it to what he believes is the approximate distance that the world record is held at. Shoon is then asked to guess the distance which he makes his own jump to help his guess. They then bring out a mannequin, dubbed Habatobi-kun, to be placed at the world record distance. Both guesses fall short and we get a good look at a part of the studio past the classroom set as Habatobi-kun is brought to the correct distance from the white mark (8m95cm).


It's the first commercial break and then they return with the next quiz segment. It leads in to footage talking about the hammer and discus throwing events and how the equipment for the events are made.

Another commercial break and the program again starts off with a quiz segment that leads into the on location shoot. Again it's Shoon and Sanada doing the shoot and this time they're giving fencing a try. They learn the moves before being allowed to go against opponents. Of course as beginners neither wins their matches but at least they can both say they at least got a couple points. Shoon's match is more amusing to watch as he's put against a female fencing student who he backs quickly away from at the very start of the match.


After that they go back to the classroom where Sanada and Shoon talk about the experience. Inohara then asks about favorite Olympic sports. Takada picks baseball (most likely because he was in the baseball drama, Battery), Keito picks volleyball and says it's because he was a volleyball supporter. Inohara takes the time to mention he did the same when he debuted with V6 then lists all the groups that debuted as volleyball supporters, though he seemed to have a little trouble remembering Hey! Say! JUMP's name. XD


The episode ends there and the preview shown reveals that ice will be the next episode's topic. The little end clip shows Habatabi-kun again.
