But ya know what?
I don't care about the title anymore!
[00:56] Both
What?
[00:57] Niko
Wh-What are you, nuts?
[00:59] Kazuki
I concur! Don't even joke about that!
[01:03] Niko
M-Miwa?
[01:04] Kazuki
Why even continue with these matches, then?
[01:11] Miwa
Not telling.
[01:17] Miwa
See you later.

Just thinking about my mom—
[01:31] (Flashback) Yu
how I could make someone's face
light up just by cooking for them—
[01:34] (Flashback) Yu
made me gradually get better and better.
[01:38] (Flashback) Mr. Mikadono
Well done, Miwa.
[01:40] (Flashback) Niko
You're something else!
[01:41] (Flashback) Kazuki
I'll admit I'm proud.
[01:47] Miwa
I'm just like him.
[01:50] Miwa
And if I win, Yu-kun will also...
[01:53] Yu
Congratulations, Miwa-san!
[01:59] Miwa
I wanna see them happy.
[02:04] Miwa
No... I'll make them happy!

[02:53] Sakura
This is the same aura I felt
when we first met.
[02:57] Sakura
The aura... that was nothing like mine.
[03:10] (Flashback) Mother
You don't want to play with her anymore?
[03:12] (Flashback) Girl
Yeah, Sakura-chan's just bad at everything.

Sakura...

Let's go visit Grandpa.

Oh, those are some lovely giraffes.

They're cats.

Oh, uh... l-let's see here...
[03:49] (Flashback) Grandpa
I'll be back!
[03:54] (Flashback) Grandpa
Sakura! How about we play some shogi?
[03:56] (Flashback) Grandpa
Grandpa's sad because
no one ever plays with him!
[04:04] (Flashback) Grandpa
Sakura, you can't move that piece that way.
[04:09] (Flashback) Grandpa
Each piece moves in a different way.
[04:13] (Flashback) Sakura
Really? What a weird rule.
[04:18] (Flashback) Grandpa
That there's a pawn, the weakest shogi piece.
[04:23] (Flashback) Grandpa
They can't move more than one space, after all.
[04:27] (Flashback) Sakura
Don't like them.
[04:30] (Flashback) Grandpa
However, they always move forward,
no matter what.
[04:34] (Flashback) Grandpa
They never duck sideways,
or retreat backward either.
[04:41] (Flashback) Grandpa
Pawns are weak, little pieces, but they
always move forward, one step at a time.

However!

The game gets really exciting
if you know the right moves...
[05:04] (Flashback) Grandma
Honey, Sakura is still three years old.
[05:16] (Flashback) Sakura
Grandpa, teach me how to play shogi.
[05:27] (Flashback) Kid
Let's go play at the park!
[05:38] (Flashback) Grandpa
I'm afraid you've gotten too good

[05:43] (Flashback) Grandpa
I resign.
[05:45] (Flashback) Sakura
Thank you for playing me.

Until one fateful tournament...
[06:13] Sakura
She's a prodigy!
[06:22] Sakura
She crushed me while barely
even using her allotted time.
[06:27] Sakura
My defeat was so complete
that it was almost inhumane.
[06:33] Sakura
She was the youngest daughter of a family
full of natural-born talents: Miwa Mikadono.
[06:41] Sakura
We're both girls and the same age.
So why were we so different?
[06:46] Sakura
Why does she have everything I don't?
[06:49] Sakura
For the first time in my life, I felt
no amount of effort would ever be enough.

Here, Yaotome-san.
[07:05] (Flashback) Sakura
Th-Thanks.
[07:10] (Flashback) Tanaka
Isn't she in middle school?
How's that her test score?
[07:14] (Flashback) Suzuki
She may be pretty good at shogi,
[07:16] (Flashback) Suzuki
but with that low intellect,
she won't go far even if she tries.
[07:23] (Flashback) Miwa
A. Tanaka, your record
this season is zero wins, five losses.
[07:29] (Flashback) Miwa
You blundered with that knight
in your last match.
[07:33] (Flashback) Miwa
And B. Suzuki, you're at one win, four losses.
[07:36] (Flashback) Miwa
The match before last, moving your
gold general to 8-8 was a massive fail.
[07:40] Suzuki
She memorized all the moves from our matches?
[07:42] (Flashback) Tanaka
I-I don't want to hear it!
[07:44] (Flashback) Miwa
If ya got time to run your mouth,
then use it to memorize my moves.
[07:49] (Flashback) Both
W-We'll take our leave!
[07:53] (Flashback) Miwa
And you! Don't just sit there!
Stand up for yourself!
[08:03] (Flashback) Miwa
Hey, stoppit! It'll look like I made ya cry!
[08:08] Sakura
I felt pathetic.
[08:10] Sakura
Not only was I a loser at shogi—the one
thing I had—she was taking pity on me.
[08:16] Sakura
She didn't see me as an adversary.
[08:22] (Flashback) Miwa
R-Remember how ya countered with your pawns?
[08:25] (Flashback) Miwa
I never woulda thought that'd work that well!

[08:31] (Flashback) Sakura
My pawns?

The pawns are the weakest of all.

However, they never retreat.
[08:39] (Flashback) Grandpa
They always move forward gradually,
one step at a time,
[08:42] (Flashback) Grandpa
until they turn into a powerful promoted piece.
[08:46] (Flashback) Miwa
Ya don't mess around when using your pawns.
[08:49] (Flashback) Miwa
There's practically no one else who's
capable of that gameplay. So take pride!
[08:56] Sakura
I get it...
[08:58] Sakura
I'm a pawn.
[09:01] (Flashback) Sakura
I'll show you that even a mere pawn
can grab the spotlight!
[09:05] (Flashback) Miwa
Wha?
[09:06] (Flashback) Sakura
Miwa Mikadono! Starting today,
I declare you my rival!
[09:10] (Flashback) Miwa
The heck's her deal?
[09:13] (Flashback) Sakura
Not to mention, the pawns outnumber
everything else on the board!

[16:20] Kazuki
Miwa went on an exchange
program in middle school.
[16:24] Miwa
Oh, yeah! People kiss all the time overseas!
[16:28] Miwa
I was just saying thanks for
cheering me on all this time.
[16:33] Miwa
Wait a minute... Did that little
forehead kiss rattle you two that much?
[16:39] Yu
Now I get it! It was just a greeting!
[16:43] Niko
I know damn well she's bluffing.
[16:46] Kazuki
But if Yu's convinced,
we can leave it at that.
[16:48] Kazuki
He's such a simpleton.

Goodbye!
[16:52] Miwa
Bye!

You really did great out there.
[16:58] Niko
And you were just one loss away
from losing your title, too.
