- Kilika Temple
- Tidus watches the villagers crowd around Yuna.
- Flashback, Zanarkand Stadium entrance
- Tidus is surrounded by his adoring fans.
- Tidus, VO: I thought I had put my feelings for Zanarkand behind me.
- Tidus, VO: But there they were, and they grew inside me, bigger and bigger, till I was just about ready to burst.
- Kilika Temple
- The group leave the temple. Tidus stops suddenly.
- Yuna: Are...are you okay?
- Tidus: I...I don't know.
- Yuna: What do you want to do?
- Tidus: To scream real loud.
- He does so, startling everyone but Lulu.
- Kilika - Residential Area
- * Worker: A summoner named Dona passed through here a while ago. She'll probably be taking the ferry.
- * Worker: That Dona's quite an attractive lady, but she's a bit on the cold side, if you know what I mean.
- * Woman: The sea sure looks beautiful from here, but Sin's lurking out there, somewhere.
- Woman: It gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
- * Man: There's not a smile in all of Kilika, thanks to Sin.
- Man: But if we win the next tournament, that should cheer everyone up.
- * Old man: Sin is a divine punishment upon the people. There is nothing we can do about it.
- Old man: We can only rely upon Yevon's teachings and the summoners to help us through this.
- Kilika - Inn
- * Keep: We're still cleaning up here.
- Keep: Uh... Shouldn't you be on your way?
- Kilika - Dock
- * Beast: We're off to Luca as soon as I finish this off.
- * Beast: Just wait and see. We'll win for sure.
- * Embark.
- Wakka: Off to Luca at last!
- Wakka: The matches start soon as we get there, so rest up on the way, ya?
- They board the Winno, along with the Kilika Beasts.
- S.S. Winno
- Wakka and Lu settle on the lookout, while Yuna attracts the now standard crowd. Kimahri, as ever, watches over all.
- S.S. Winno - Cabin
- Tidus stands.
- * Datto: Tournament's coming up real soon. I wish we had more time to practise, ya?
- * Jassu: I just wanna sneak up behind them and beat the...
- Jassu: I mean, I wanna get in their faces and show 'em what we're made of!
- * Letty: Why do we have to be on the same ship as those Lucans anyway?
- * Keepa: Urgh... Why do I feel like I'm being watched?
- * Botta: Those herbs I bought in Kilika for seasickness are working great, ya?
- * Abus: Looks like our gals are brewing up something back there.
- Abus: I'd be afraid if I were you.
- * Doram: Hey, that boy in the Aurochs is a cutie.
- * Balgerda: My, you're kinda cute, too. Wanna have some fun?
- S.S. Winno - Corridor
- * Dona: Some people can be so rude.
- * Luzzu: It might not mean much, but good luck in the tournament.
- * O'aka: They ask a fortune for rags in Besaid. And Kilika, well...
- O'aka: Me business is in shambles! What's an O'aka to do, I ask ye!
- * O'aka: Mind spotting me some Gil again, lad?
- S.S. Winno - Bridge
- Al Bhed Primer vol. V - Near the wheel
- * Cap'n: We're doing double duty on the watch to avoid ending up like the S.S. Liki.
- Cap'n: Report to us immediately if you see any sign of Sin.
- * Cap'n: This ship is just a ferry. We're doomed if we run into Sin.
- * Navigator: No offence, but I'm a diehard Luca Goers fan.
- Navigator: Good luck, pal. You're gonna need it.
- * Navigator: Maybe you're better off asking the Goers to coach you.
- S.S. Winno - Deck
- * Lookout
- Lulu: Well? Say something.
- Lulu: You'll take responsibility?
- Wakka: Relax! He's bound to know someone in Luca.
- Lulu: And if not?
- Wakka: He could always join a blitz team.
- Wakka: Anyhow, it's better than just leaving him in Besaid!
- Lulu: What? Just leaving him in Luca?
- Wakka: What do you want me to do?
- Lulu: Yuna wants to make him a guardian.
- Wakka: Oh yeah, geez... There's that too, eh?
- Lulu: And whose fault is that?
- Wakka: Not mine!
- Beat.
- Wakka: It is mine, huh?
- Wakka: Why do you think she wants to make him a guardian, anyway?
- Lulu: Because he's Sir Jecht's son.
- Wakka: Oh, right.
- Wakka: Wait, you sure 'bout that? He's really Sir Jecht's son?
- Lulu: It's hard to say, but Yuna seems to believe so.
- Wakka: Okay.
- Lulu: "Okay"? "Okay"? That's all you have to say?
- Wakka: Well, yeah. I mean...
- Wakka: He's gotta decide for himself, ya? Well, him and Yuna, I guess.
- Lulu: You're right, for once.
- Wakka: Ahem!
- Lulu: I wonder which is best...
- * Lookout
- Lulu: Why don't you tell him he should?
- Wakka: Should what?
- Lulu: Become Yuna's guardian.
- Wakka: Why me?
- Lulu: Because Yuna can't.
- Wakka: Why not?
- Lulu: He hates his father-- what he was, what he did.
- Lulu: Do you really think she can possibly say to him...
- Lulu: "I want you to be my guardian, like your father was to mine"?
- Wakka: Aren't you being over-sensitive?
- She gives him a Lulu stare.
- Wakka: All right, all right.
- Wakka: I'll try talking to him after the tournament.
- Lulu: Be discreet.
- Wakka: I know. It's his decision.
- * Lookout
- Wakka: He doesn't like his father?
- Lulu: Apparently. He told Yuna as much.
- Wakka: Hating your own father, huh? Sounds like a luxury to me.
- Wakka: I don't even remember my parents.
- Wakka: Can't say how I feel about 'em.
- Lulu: I...I was five then, so I remember mine a little.
- Wakka: Dammit!
- Wakka: Sin just takes everything away from us.
- * Wakka: Go to bed, bud. Tournament starts tomorrow morning.
- * Lulu: I'm sorry. I need some time to think.
- * Wakka: Someone's bound to recognise you when they see your moves out there.
- * Datto: Looks like the toxin's still getting to you. Take it easy and go to bed early, ya?
- * Jassu: We can finally relax now that the Goers are down in the cabin.
- * Letty: Wakka is busy right now. Maybe you shouldn't bother him.
- * Datto: We wanted to have our final practice in Kilika, but that's impossible after what happened to the place.
- * Jassu: Don't mind Kimahri for not answering you. He's the silent type, you know?
- * Letty: Let's pray we don't have to go against the Goers until the finals!
- S.S. Winno - Cabin
- * Botta: I-It's terrible!
- Botta: Those Lucans dragged off Keepa!
- Botta: I...I hope I'm next.
- * Keepa: H-Help!
- * Doram: Now, what should we play next?
- * Balgerda: What? You want to hang out with us?
- Balgerda: Hmm... Maybe later.
- * Abus: They say you came from the ruins. Hehehe...
- Abus: The Aurochs gotta be desperate to depend on some wacko.
- * Graav: Let's see them moves you've learned in those ruins, then!
- * Bickson: Yo, mister star player from Zanarkand! Take it easy on us today.
- S.S. Winno - Deck
- * Woman: The Aurochs are the team to watch this year.
- Woman: They say they got a blitzer from Zanarkand on their team!
- Man: Oh, come on! You actually believe that rumour?
- Woman: Ha! No way. I only meant it'll be fun to watch.
- * Woman: Zanarkand, eh...?
- Woman: If you're going to bluff at all, say something a little more believable.
- * Woman: You've got nerve to say you're from Zanarkand. Go home and relearn Yevon's teachings.
- * Man: That guy poking around back there is taking sphere shots of Lady Yuna.
- * Man: You're a blitzer from Zanarkand, right? At least put up a good fight, you hear me?
- * Yuna: I do believe your Zanarkand exists. I really do, you know!
- * Blitzball
- Flashback - Tidus'
- Young Tidus demonstrates his blitz skills, completely missing the ball and falling over. Jecht comes over to mock him.
- Jecht: Well, well, trying to follow in my footsteps, are you?
- Jecht: I usually charge for lessons, you know...
- Jecht: That shot is done... like this!
- He performs the famous Jecht Shot.
- Jecht: You can't do it, kid.
- Jecht: But don't worry, my boy.
- Jecht: You're not the only one.
- Jecht: No one else can do it. I'm the best!
- S.S. Winno - Deck
- The Jecht Shot Challenge
- Memories of that day still haunt Tidus and interfere with his concentration. Try to shake off the memories and successfully perform the Jecht Shot.
- * Succeed
- Tidus: The best? Yeah, right.
- He turns to see the Aurochs gathered in awe.
- Wakka: Whoa! What's that called?
- Tidus: Doesn't have a name. Anyone can do it if they try.
- Wakka: Show us one more time, ya?
- All eyes are on Tidus. Even Yuna, who waves in support. Tidus gives it another go.
- * Wakka: I knew it! I knew you were somethin' special!
- * Datto: I feel a little nervous with Lady Yuna watching us, ya?
- * Letty: Is Datto alright? It's right before the big game and all.
- * Letty: That was one amazing shot you just did! They don't call you an ace for nothin'.
- * Jassu: I'm gonna tell Botta and Keepa all about that shot you just did.
- Jassu: They'll be so mad when they find out what they missed!
- * Jassu: I'm glad the Goers weren't here to see it. Let's keep it secret until the finals!
- * Man: The Aurochs are getting too hyped up before the match.
- * Woman: You should go rest. You're gonna drown during the match if you're sleep-deprived.
- * Yuna: That was the Jecht Shot, wasn't it?
- Tidus walks off to the look out to sea.
- Tidus: How do you know that?
- Yuna: Sir Jecht showed it to me when I was a child.
- Yuna: He called it the "Sublimely Magnificent Jecht Shot Mark III".
- Tidus: Stupid name, huh?
- Tidus: You know what? There is no Mark I or Mark II, you know?
- Tidus: My old man said the name Mark III was just something to hook the crowd.
- Tidus: He said they'd come back every night expecting to see Mark I and Mark II.
- Tidus: And, they really did come back.
- Tidus: I used to get so mad.
- There is a long pause.
- Tidus: Is he alive, you think?
- Yuna: I don't know.
- Yuna: But, Sir Jecht was my father's guardian.
- Tidus: So he's famous here, too?
- Yuna: Yes.
- Yuna: So if anything happened to him, I should think word would get around fast.
- Tidus: Uh-huh.
- Yuna: What would you do, if you found him?
- Tidus: Who knows? I thought he died ten years ago.
- Tidus: Well...
- Tidus: I'd probably just smack him one.
- Tidus: After everything he put Mom and me through.
- Tidus: And because he was famous, I was always...
- Tidus: Well, you should know, Yuna.
- Tidus: Your father's famous, too. Everyone in Spira knows him, right?
- Tidus: Ain't it tough?
- Yuna: It is hard to follow in his footsteps, as a summoner.
- Tidus: Sure.
- Yuna: But the honour of having a father like him surpasses all that, I think.
- Tidus: Well, there wasn't much to honour about my old man, that's for sure.
- Yuna: You shouldn't say that about your father!
- Tidus: I got the right!
- Yuna: I guess you do.
- Wakka calls him over.
- Wakka: Show me that move again!
- Voiceover
- Tidus, VO: I didn't think my old man would come to Luca.
- Tidus, VO: He never did like watching other people play.
- Tidus, VO: But I couldn't help feeling something bad was gonna happen. And these feelings of mine are usually right.
- Tidus, VO: Sure, I had told Wakka I'd help him win the tournament. But I wasn't sure I had it in me to play at all anymore.
