Free! The Final Stroke pt. 1 Trailer

The new stage upon which Haruka will find himself standing as he aims for the world is the land of dreams where he once trod, Sydney. Before he sets out, though, he enjoys a brief respite--during which he happens to run into several competitors he faced at the All-Japan Qualifiers competition, and they decide to show each other their will to win. Haruka then sets off for a new frontier, with the memories he made with the friends he swam together with in his heart.

But waiting for Haruka is the world champion, Albert Volandel. In preparation for the Sydney tournament, the competitors strengthen their resolve to win. While they face off on the world stage, they must decide what they're swimming for, what it makes them feel. These boys' heated battles within the water are about to start...!

Wait. Did Huaisang know Li Fenli was pregnant during the war or did he find this out late like his brother? 🤔

he found out after :)

[vroomian]

are nhs and lfl good parents?

Uh I’m gonna hit this with a maybe. Like there kids obviously grow up very loved and into little terrors but the main reason they’re alive to grow up is definitely nmj + jgy combo effort.

Like lfl spoils her kids just as much as her wife so it’s like.

Kid running

Lfl: whatcha got there?

Kid: a knife!

Lfl: aw. They grow up so fast.

Jgy: NO!

can we know more about lfl?

after the sunshot campaign lfl and nhs’s wedding is a bit -- rushed. the baby was born two months early, totally. no sexy times before marriage for them, no sir

(does this mean that lfl was pregnant during the worst part of the sunshot campaign without anyone realizing it? yes. yes it does. 

nmj grounds lfl for forever)

[vroomian]

I’m obsessed with Li Fenli. Can we hear more about her and nhs?

in the future when lfl has her saber, she lets nhs ride around on it when he’s tired -- while she controls it. in fact, that’s how they arrive at the top of the could recesses stairs. lfl wouldn't be caught dead making her delicate wife walk anywhere! 

(nmj always scolds her for treating her saber like it’s a donkey but secretly finds it adorable. also it’s good training!)  

nhs and lfl have agreed that concubines are okay, but only if they get to share them :)

wwx has declared lfl “the coolest person i’ve ever met” 

possibly he has volunteered to be a concubine in the future. possibly he was joking. who can say? 

(not wwx, that’s for sure)

lfl and nhs have negotiated two children from her, and if they want any more they’ll take up a concubine to have them

lfl and nhs set off a lantern nhs painted together <3

jzy is so fucking jealous of their relationship lol, just talk to your future wife you moron!! 

in the event that nmj is incapacitated, the whole sect (including nmj) has quietly agreed that lfl is going to be the next sect leader if only because nhs would dump the work on her anyway

the younger shidi take to calling nhs madame nie, and the name just stuck lol

possibly nie papa survives?? 

nhs and lfl are genuinely in love with each other, but it took longer than anyone else realizes. i’d say it happened sometime after the sunshot campaign?? before that, they were just terribly fond of each other.

oml. lfl fighting pregnant. i love that. when he finds out da ge loses his MIND.

Nmj: JAIL FOR LITTLE SISTER!! JAIL FOR LITTLE SISTER FOR ONE THOUDAND YEARS!!

lfl: boo

[vroomian]

what’s li fenli’s cool cousin’s reaction to meeting meng yao when he gets introduced to him via li fenli? ^^

lfl, pointing at meng yao: stinky

lff, clutching my to his chest: no!

lfl, nodding: stinky bastard man

lff, covering my’s ears: no!!! don’t be mean to the baby!!

nhs, behind his fan: naughty boy. scheming brat. 

lff: NOOO!!!
