[Encouragement of Climb] Top 10 Best Scenes: Karaoke with Classmates
As "Encouragement of Climb" enters its third season, many believe that the protagonist, Aoi Yukimura, has grown as a person. However, even right after summer vacation, she remains shy and her only friend is her childhood friend, Hinata Kuragami.
However, her classmate Mio had been interested in Aoi for some time, and when she saw her knitting, she struck up a conversation and they decided to hang out together that day. This was the moment Aoi finally made a friend other than Hinata.
In the third season, Aoi finally finds friends in her class other than Hinata, but struggles to fit in with Mio, Kasumi, and Yuri. However, with Hinata's help at karaoke, Aoi is able to become friends with Mio and the others.
[Encouragement of Climb] Best Scene #9: Hanno Summer Fireworks Festival
The Hanno Summer Fireworks Festival, the final episode of the second season of "Encouragement of Climb," was a great story. Just before the final episode, Honoka Kurosaki, a new friend, came all the way from Takasaki, Gunma, to Hanno.
Aoi's tour of Hanno was lovely, but even more impressive was Kokona's masterful goldfish scooping skills. Kokona was so angelic as she scooped goldfish while reciting her mysterious special move.
Aoi and Hinata had apparently been fighting that day, but they made up by the time the fireworks went off, making for a heartwarming story.
[Encouragement of Climb] Famous Scene #8: Meeting Honoka
In the second half of the second season of Encouragement of Climb, Aoi and her friends meet Honoka at Mount Tanigawa, where they promised to watch the sunrise together again as children.
Normally shy and reluctant to talk to people she meets for the first time, Aoi seemed intrigued by Honoka for some reason, and it was refreshing to see her proactively try to communicate with her.
Aoi is also quite socially awkward, but Honoka has an even more insular air about her, making it difficult to interact with her. However, Honoka doesn't particularly dislike people, so we quickly became friends.
[Encouragement of Climb] Famous Scene #7: Meeting Kaede
Kaede, the main character of "Encouragement of Climb," is a senior with more mountaineering knowledge and experience than Aoi, Hinata, and Kokona. Kaede, who always shares her mountain knowledge, is an essential main character.
Kaede and Aoi first met when Kaede was struggling to choose a sleeping bag at an outdoor shop. Kaede was unsure whether to buy an expensive, high-performance sleeping bag or a cheap, heavy one.
In response to Kaede's concerns, Aoi uttered the famous line, "Rather than giving up and compromising, wouldn't it be better not to give up and regret?" Kaede thanked her, saying, "Thank you! For giving me the push I needed!" This led Kaede to buy an expensive sleeping bag.
After this, the two exchanged email addresses and became friends, climbing numerous mountains together.
[Encouragement of Climb] Famous Scene #6: Meeting Kokona
Aoi and Hinata arrive at Mount Takao, but surprisingly, they reach the summit and soon decide to head back down. Along the way, Hinata encountered Kokona, whose shoe soles had peeled off and she couldn't walk. Hinata used some wire to help her fix them.
Kokona was grateful for the repair and tried to walk home alone, but she fell, so Aoi and the others helped her. Kokona apparently came to Mount Takao looking for flying squirrels, but was shocked to learn that nocturnal flying squirrels are not found on Mount Takao.
[Encouragement of Climb] Famous Scene #5: Reunion with Hinata
The story of "Encouragement of Climb" begins with Aoi's reunion with her childhood friend, Hinata. If Aoi hadn't reunited with Hinata, she might have spent her three years of high school without making any friends and instead immersed herself in indoor hobbies.
At first, the shy and reserved Aoi finds Hinata's proactive personality annoying, but as she begins to remember her, she gradually opens up to her.
Aoi fell off a jungle gym as a child and developed a fear of heights. So, at first, she was hesitant about Hinata's invitation to climb the mountain. However, remembering her memories with Hinata, she said she was okay with climbing a low mountain, and so Aoi and her friends' mountain climbing challenge began.
[Encouragement of Climb] Famous Scene #4: Sunrise on Mount Tanigawa
Aoi, Hinata, Kokona, and Kaede have finally arrived at Mount Tanigawa, the mountain they made a promise to Hinata. Along the way, I met a new friend, Honoka, and had a great time climbing, but I also felt anxious that if I saw the sunrise on Mt. Tanigawa, something would come to an end.
The weather looked bleak, and it seemed uncertain whether they would actually be able to see the sunrise at Mt. Tanigawa. However, in the morning, they were able to see the sun rising in the eastern sky. This memorable moment gave Aoi and Hinata confidence that this was not the end, and that their mountaineering challenge would continue.
[Encouragement of Climb] Best Scene #3: Dear My Friend
After suffering from altitude sickness on Mount Fuji and being unable to reach the summit, Aoi felt a huge hole in her heart. She spent her summer vacation lazily, feeling listless and listless. Then, the postcard that Hinata and her friends had written on Mount Fuji finally arrived.
Seeing this, Aoi feels a little more positive and decides to try Mt. Tenran, the first mountain she climbed after reuniting with Hinata. Aoi was out of breath the first time she climbed Mt. Tenran, but now she can climb much more easily than before, feeling her own growth and beginning to enjoy mountain climbing again.
Then, just as Aoi reached the top, she happened to meet Hinata, who happened to be there, and she forcefully dragged her along to the next mountain (Mount Tonosu). It was a great scene that made it clear that it was the always positive and cheerful Hinata who was able to break through Aoi's doubts.
[Encouragement of Climb] Best Scene #2: In Front of the Ropeway
Aoi and her friends finally made it to the promised mountain, Tanigawadake, with Hinata, but Aoi, who is afraid of heights, becomes paralyzed when she sees the Tanigawadake ropeway.
Aoi is encouraged by Kokona and Kaede, but her body still won't listen to her, and she can't get on the ropeway.
At that moment, Hinata thought, "Aoi won't stop here; she'll keep moving forward," and gently took Aoi's hand, saying, "Come on! Let's go!" as she helped her onto the ropeway.
While there are many memorable scenes featuring Aoi and Hinata in "Encouragement of Climb," this scene on the Tanigawadake ropeway is arguably the most memorable in the series (though it may be difficult to convey in words). In the end, even riding the chairlift was hellish for someone with a fear of heights (lol).
[Encouragement of Climb] Best Scene #1: Kokona's Great Adventure in Hanno
Episode 20 of the second season of "Encouragement of Climb," starring Kokona, is a Kokona episode in which she goes on an adventure in Hanno wearing the hiking boots her mother gave her as a birthday present.
Kokona explores Hanno alone, and the combination of Kokona's cuteness and the charm of the Hanno region creates a story that exudes a fairytale-like charm. After watching "Kokona's Great Adventure in Hanno," some viewers may have been inspired to make a pilgrimage to the Hanno holy sites.
Perhaps due to the popularity of "Kokona's Great Hanno Adventure," Hanno City has even created a "Kokona's Great Hanno Adventure Map" for pilgrimages, allowing visitors to retrace Kokona's steps.
In particular, Kokona's adorable scene reading a picture book in the Tove Jansson-style house at Akebono Children's Forest Park was a memorable one.
【Encouragement of Climb】Famous Scenes
"Encouragement of Climb" has many memorable scenes if you look closely, but here we've selected some that stand out and leave a particularly strong impression. Episode 13 of the second season, "The Mysterious Tale of the Fireflies," was also a wonderful story.
Encouragement of Climb is now in its third season. The bond between Aoi, Hinata, Kokona, and Kaede has deepened considerably, so I hope to see more interactions with Honoka and new characters in the future.
