[00:02] Narrator
    Sumo...
[00:04] Narrator
    Battles waged in a ring by those wearing
    mawashi belts since ancient times in Japan.
[00:09] Narrator
    It is one of the few combat sports
    without weight classes.
[00:12] Narrator
    Thus, larger and heavier student sumo
    wrestlers have a distinct advantage.
[00:20] Narrator
    Among them...
[00:22] Narrator
    Those with the potential to
    reach the rank of yokozuna...
[00:26] Narrator
    receive the name of a sword from the
    national treasures as their moniker.

    "National Treasure Onimaru Kunitsuna"
[02:15] Hinomaru
    I hate crowded trains.
[02:25] Hinomaru
    That's enough.
[02:28] Hinomaru
    Let's get off at the next station.
[02:32] Hinomaru
    What do you think you're doing?
    And at your age!
[02:35] Molester
    Wh-What proof do you have?!
[02:38] Hinomaru
    From where I was standing,
    I could see you clearly.
[02:41] Hinomaru
    Remember, God is watching.
[02:44] Attendant
    Please let me through!
[02:45] Hinomaru
    Oh, station attendant!
    The molester is over here.
[02:48] Attendant
    Why are you dressed like that?!
[02:50] Hinomaru
    Wait, no! The molester is right...
[02:52] Attendant
    Trying to frighten girls
    by not wearing pants!
[02:55] Hinomaru
    No, I'm going to check out a new school,
[02:57] Hinomaru
    so I wanted to make a good impression!
[03:02] Hinomaru
    I wanted to join their morning practice,
    but it's already after noon.
[03:07] Hinomaru
    I got off one station too soon,
    so I'm not sure where I am.
[03:11] Hinomaru
    And this map Kirihito drew for me
    is no help at all.
SIGN    Here
[03:19] Hinomaru
    That must be it!
[03:24] Hinomaru
    The front gate must be over there.
[03:55] Hinomaru
    Oh, you're practicing!
[03:59] Hinomaru
    Would you mind if I joined you?
[04:01] Ozeki
    Um...
[04:06] Hinomaru
    That's the powerhouse Ishigami High School for ya!
[04:08] Hinomaru
    They have sumo rings outside, too!
[04:11] Hinomaru
    The bale looks like it's a
    fire hose filled with dirt.
[04:15] Hinomaru
    And the dirt is packed tight!
[04:17] Ozeki
    U-Um, who are you?
[04:19] Hinomaru
    Oh, pardon me.
[04:23] Hinomaru
    I got a little excited when I
    saw someone in a mawashi belt.
[04:26] Hinomaru
    My apologies.
[04:27] Hinomaru
    I'm still a third-year middle schooler.
[04:30] Hinomaru
    I came to check out this school
    because it has a sumo club!
[04:34] Hinomaru
    My name is Ushio Hinomaru.
[04:39] Hinomaru
    In order to reach yokozuna,
    the highest rank in sumo,
[04:43] Hinomaru
    I must become the strongest
    high school sumo wrestler!
[04:50] Ozeki
    Y-Yokozuna?
[04:52] Hinomaru
    What's your name?
[04:53] Ozeki
    I'm Ozeki from the sumo club.
[04:55] Hinomaru
    You must be passionate to
    be practicing during lunch.
[04:58] Hinomaru
    Can we have a bout?
[05:00] Ozeki
    W-W-Wait... What are you doing?
[05:07] Hinomaru
    Sorry, could you get my bag?
[05:11] Hinomaru
    My mawashi belt is in it.
[05:12] Ozeki
    Sure...
[05:13] Ozeki
    Wait, are you going to change here?
[05:15] Hinomaru
    I don't mind.
[05:18] Ozeki
    He's trained a lot.
[05:21] Ozeki
    Where did he get all those scars?
[05:24] Hinomaru
    Shall we get to it?
[05:26] Ozeki
    Oh, sure.
[05:34] Ozeki
    What's that pressure?
[05:36] Ozeki
    O-Okay, then...
[05:38] Hinomaru
    Spirit!
[05:44] Hinomaru
    What's wrong?
[05:46] Hinomaru
    Is that all you've got?
[05:48] Ozeki
    Why, you...
[05:49] Ozeki
    Don't underestimate me!
[06:02] Ozeki
    Ow...
[06:04] Ozeki
    You're really good.
[06:06] Hinomaru
    You're good, too.
[06:09] Ozeki
    You said your name is Ushio-kun, right?
[06:11] Ozeki
    You're so strong, I'm surprised I haven't
     heard your name at the tournaments before.
[06:15] Hinomaru
    Well, there's a story behind that.
[06:17] Hinomaru
    I've never really been
    in many official bouts.
[06:19] Hinomaru
    Just a few in elementary school.
[06:22] Ozeki
    I see.
[06:24] Ozeki
    Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
[06:27] Hinomaru
    That's why I want to
    enroll at this school.
[06:30] Hinomaru
    Sorry I couldn't make
    the morning practice.
[06:34] Ozeki
    Morning practice?
[06:35] Ozeki
    Wait, you're joining the club?
[06:38] Hinomaru
    Of course!
[06:39] Ozeki
    Really?
[06:40] Hinomaru
    Yeah.
[06:42] Ozeki
    I can't believe it! A new club member!
[06:44] Hinomaru
    It's not that big a deal.
[06:45] Ozeki
    No, it totally is!
[06:48] Hinomaru
    How about we go see the dojo?
[06:53] Ozeki
    Um, well... are you sure you want to?
[06:57] Ozeki
    Well, you'll find out sooner or later.
[07:00] Hinomaru
    The other members are inside!

[07:13] Ozeki
    That's how it is.
[07:17] Hinomaru
    I heard there were a lot of
    delinquents at this school.
[07:20] Funaki
    Who are you? What're you doing here?
[07:23] Nishizato
    Who's the shrimp?
[07:24] Funaki
    Ozeki!
[07:25] Ozeki
    Yes!
[07:26] Funaki
    Who gave you permission to come here?!
[07:28] Ozeki
    Oh, I, um...
[07:30] Nishizato
    Quit your muttering!
[07:33] Hinomaru
    Hey, pick that up.
[07:35] Hinomaru
    The dojo is hallowed ground.
[07:37] Hinomaru
    You're not to defile it.
[07:39] Hinomaru
    I said to pick it up!
[07:42] Ozeki
    U-Ushio-kun...
[07:43] Nishizato
    Watch your mouth, shrimp!
[07:48] Hinomaru
    Don't look down on me, shrimp.
[07:56] Yuma
    What are you guys howling about?
[07:59] Nishizato
    Yuma-san!
[08:06] Yuma
    I thought someone was here for a fight.
[08:10] Yuma
    How about you tell me
    what's going on, Ozeki.
[08:13] Ozeki
    W-We...
[08:15] Funaki
    It was this shrimp!
[08:17] Funaki
    He came in and started a fight!
[08:20] Funaki
    I'll give him a good punch.
[08:24] Yuma
    That's why you're an easy target.
[08:28] Yuma
    Shrimp...
[08:29] Yuma
    Is what that idiot said true?
[08:31] Hinomaru
    Yeah, it is.
[08:33] Yuma
    I hope you're ready for this, then.
[08:35] Hinomaru
    You have a lot of time on your hands.
[08:37] Hinomaru
    It's stupid.
[08:39] Hinomaru
    How about you all do some sumo?
[08:42] Hinomaru
    It's a lot of fun!
[08:44] Yuma
    You mean when two fat guys hug each other?
[08:47] Hinomaru
    What?
[08:48] Yuma
    Oh, you wanna fight?
[08:49] Ozeki
    Um...
[08:50] Ozeki
    I'm sorry. We don't.
[08:52] Yuma
    Stay out of this, biggest
    coward at Dachi High.
[08:54] Hinomaru
    Dachi High?
[08:55] Ozeki
    He says he'll join the
    sumo club next year.
[08:59] Hinomaru
    What's that about Dachi High?
[09:01] Ozeki
    We need to go, Ushio-kun.
[09:04] Hinomaru
    Hey, what was that about Dachi High?
[09:08] Nishizato
    What will you do, Yuma-san?
[09:14] Ozeki
    I sure embarrassed myself, huh?
[09:17] Hinomaru
    Are you sure it's a good idea to let
    them do what they want like that?
[09:20] Ozeki
    That's just how it is.
[09:22] Ozeki
    No one can stand up to Yuma-san,
    even though he's only a second-year.
[09:26] Hinomaru
    True, he looked like he knew karate.
[09:29] Ozeki
    I'm impressed you noticed.
[09:31] Ozeki
    He actually won the Kanto
    tournament in middle school.
[09:34] Hinomaru
    That's fine, but where are
    the other club members?
[09:38] Ozeki
    Well, as you can see, I'm the only member.
[09:41] Hinomaru
    Huh? The famous Ishigami High School
    has only one member in their club?
[09:44] Ozeki
    Ishigami? This is Odachi High School.

[09:49] Hinomaru
    I thought for sure this
    was Ishigami High School.
[09:53] Ozeki
    Most people would notice. Most would
    come in through the front gate, too.
[09:56] Hinomaru
    I messed up.
[09:59] Ozeki
    I see. That makes sense.
[10:01] Ozeki
    No one who wants to do sumo
    would come to our school.
[10:05] Ozeki
    I messed up, too.
[10:07] Hinomaru
    Sorry.
[10:09] Ozeki
    But it'd be a waste for a phenom like you
    not to go to a real powerhouse school.
[10:14] Hinomaru
    It's a waste for you as well.
[10:16] Hinomaru
    I could tell from our bout.
[10:18] Hinomaru
    Those legs and loins
[10:20] Hinomaru
    are proof you've been
    diligently practicing.
[10:24] Hinomaru
    Did you make that sumo ring?
[10:27] Ozeki
    Oh, yeah.
[10:28] Hinomaru
    The dirt is packed nice and tight.
[10:31] Hinomaru
    There are no weeds or pebbles.
[10:36] Hinomaru
    You're a sumo maniac, just like me!
[10:42] Hinomaru
    As long as you stick with sumo,
[10:44] Hinomaru
    we’ll see each other
    in a tournament someday!
[10:46] Hinomaru
    I'll be looking forward to it!

    Why...

[10:59] Hinomaru
    I had him draw me a detailed map.

    There must be something wrong with me.

    I did all those things and
    used up a precious day.
SIGN    Odachi High School
[11:08] Hinomaru
    Oh well. I'll thank him for
    the map and go back home.
[11:19] Hinomaru
    What happened?!
[11:21] Ozeki
    Ushio-kun...
[11:22] Hinomaru
    What happened to the sumo ring?
[11:24] Hinomaru
    Who did this?
[11:28] Hinomaru
    The bale is in pieces, too...
[11:31] Ozeki
    I guess it's time to quit.
[11:34] Ozeki
    I can't do sumo at this school anymore.
[11:38] Ozeki
    I didn't care if they called me lame or fat.
[11:41] Ozeki
    As long as I had this sumo ring...
[11:44] Ozeki
    I could continue doing sumo.
[11:46] Ozeki
    I wanted to have a sumo bout here.
[11:52] Ozeki
    They even took that away from me.
[11:57] Ozeki
    Damn it!
[12:02] Nishizato
    Manual labor is such a pain.
[12:05] Hashi
    But it feels good to work up a sweat.
[12:08] Yuma
    How would you know?
[12:09] Hinomaru
    Hey!
[12:12] Yuma
    That was heavy. What's in it?
[12:18] Hinomaru
    Aren't you ashamed of what you've done?!
[12:21] Hinomaru
    God is watching!
[12:22] Yuma
    Huh? What do you mean?
[12:24] Hinomaru
    Don't play dumb!
     You destroyed the sumo ring!
[12:27] Yuma
    Oh, so that's it.
[12:29] Yuma
    They must have gotten carried away.
[12:31] Hinomaru
    You think that's good enough?
[12:35] Yuma
    No, I'll obviously
    take responsibility for them.
[12:39] Yuma
    So, what would you have me do?
[12:41] Hinomaru
    A duel!
[12:43] Hinomaru
    If I win, you give up the dojo.
[12:45] Yuma
    A duel, eh?
[12:47] Yuma
    Okay, but we’ll do it my way.
[12:50] Hinomaru
    Fine by me!
[12:51] Yuma
    That settles it.
[12:52] Yuma
    Okay, come to the dojo.
[12:54] Hinomaru
    Sure. I'm going to prepare, so wait for me.
[12:56] Yuma
    Don't run away!
[12:57] Hinomaru
    Who would?!
[12:59] Ozeki
    Ushio-kun!
[13:00] Hinomaru
    Don't worry.
[13:01] Hinomaru
    This is my responsibility.
[13:04] Hinomaru
    It won't be any trouble for you.
[13:06] Ozeki
    That's not important right now!
[13:08] Ozeki
    You don't know how scary Yuma-san is!
[13:12] Ozeki
    There's no way he'll
    make it a fair fight!
[13:16] Ozeki
    He'll use whatever he can to beat you!
[13:19] Hinomaru
    Oh, they're nothing.
[13:21] Hinomaru
    I'm going to be a yokozuna.
[13:23] Ozeki
    Don't take them lightly!
[13:24] Ozeki
    This is for your own sake!
     Stop talking about being a yokozuna!
[13:29] Ozeki
    How tall are you, anyway?
[13:34] Ozeki
    I know that you know this.
[13:37] Ozeki
    You have to be at least 167 cm tall
[13:39] Ozeki
    to pass the medical exam and
    become a sumo wrestler.
[13:43] Ozeki
    You look like you're under 160 cm.
[13:47] Ozeki
    I know you like sumo, but you
    can't be a sumo wrestler,
[13:51] Ozeki
    much less a yokozuna.
[13:53] Ozeki
    I shouldn't be the one saying this,
[13:56] Ozeki
    but there are things in this world
    that can't be helped!
[14:00] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm sorry I couldn't give you a bigger body.
[14:04] Ozeki
    Anyway, you need to go.
[14:06] Ozeki
    Okay? Bye.
[14:10] Hinomaru
    Like that matters!
[14:15] Yuma
    Hey, so you didn't run.
[14:17] Yuma
    What? Where's the shrimp?
[14:20] Ozeki
    He's not coming.
[14:22] Ozeki
    Please let this incident go.
[14:27] Funaki
    He asked for this fight!
[14:30] Ozeki
    Please! I'll do whatever you say!
[14:34] Funaki
    Why, you...
[14:36] Yuma
    If you'll do anything, then okay.
[14:37] Funaki
    Yuma-san.
[14:38] Yuma
    You said you'll do whatever I say, right?
[14:42] Ozeki
    Y-Yeah.
[14:44] Yuma
    Give up sumo.
[14:47] Ozeki
    But that's...
[14:49] Yuma
    I don't know how you know him,
     but you're here to protect him, right?
[14:53] Yuma
    Then you'd better be prepared
    to lose something you value.
[15:02] Hinomaru
    You're a sumo maniac, just like me!
[15:08] Ozeki
    Okay.
[15:10] Ozeki
    I'll never again have a sumo―
[15:14] Ozeki
    Ow!
[15:17] Hinomaru
    Don't talk like that.
[15:19] Hinomaru
    Hey, I'm here.
[15:21] Ozeki
    Ushio-kun!
[15:23] Nishizato
    Whoa, what's with that outfit?
[15:26] Hashi
    Your butt's hanging out!
[15:28] Funaki
    He's exposing his body so we can hit it!
[15:32] Ozeki
    Why are you here?! I told you to leave!
[15:34] Hinomaru
    I told you, this is my
    personal responsibility.
[15:37] Hinomaru
    Anyone who would abandon
    you for their own gain
[15:41] Hinomaru
    could never become a yokozuna.
[15:44] Hinomaru
    A yokozuna must have a strong spirit,
    strong technique, and a strong body.
[15:49] Hinomaru
    Unfortunately, I don't have a large body.
[15:52] Hinomaru
    So I can't let my spirit be weak, too.
[15:57] Hinomaru
    So...
[15:58] Hinomaru
    Don't say you'll give up sumo.
[16:03] Yuma
    Your speech really moved me!
[16:07] Yuma
    It was great.
[16:08] Yuma
    So now let's see if your
    spirit is the real thing.
[16:13] Yuma
    You said we could do this
    fight my way, right?
[16:17] Yuma
    Ten minutes.
[16:18] Yuma
    If you can endure ten minutes of punches
    without fighting back, then you win.
[16:24] Funaki
    Here comes the famous
    Dachi High human sandbag!
[16:28] Ozeki
    What kind of one-sided fight is this?!
[16:31] Hinomaru
    Fine. Let's get started.
[16:33] Yuma
    Not going to back down even now?
[16:36] Yuma
    You piss me off!
[16:41] Hinomaru
    Hey...
[16:42] Hinomaru
    You’d better be counting
    those ten minutes.
[16:44] Yuma
    Wh-Who are you?
[16:48] Hinomaru
    I am Ushio Hinomaru.
[16:50] Hinomaru
    My name will ring above the clouds
    when I become a yokozuna.
[16:55] Hinomaru
    Now, you petty thugs...
[16:57] Hinomaru
    If you think you can beat me, bring it on!
[17:01] Hinomaru
    Don't retreat. Don't back down.
[17:03] Hinomaru
    This ring is only 4.5 meters across.
[17:07] Hinomaru
    I'm taking this body into fights where I lose
    if one hand or knee touches the ground!
[17:14] Hinomaru
    If I can't win now, then when will I?!
[17:19] Student
    Hey, did you hear? There's something
    big going on at the sumo dojo!
[17:23] Student
    The human sandbag again?
    That's nothing new.
[17:26] Student
    No, listen...
[17:28] Student
    Are you serious?
[17:31] Yuma
    Why, you...
[17:33] Yuma
    You!
[17:35] Yuma
    There!
[17:37] Yuma
    Ow, damn it!
[17:41] Yuma
    What are you?!
[17:44] Funaki
    Is time up?
[17:45] Nishizato
    It can't be...
[17:46] Nishizato
    I added five minutes just to be safe.
[17:50] Yuma
    How...
[17:51] Hinomaru
    Hey.
[17:51] Hinomaru
    That felt a little long.
    Was it really ten minutes?
[17:55] Yuma
    Why haven't you fallen?!
[17:57] Hinomaru
    What kind of stupid question is that?
[17:59] Hinomaru
    In sumo, you lose if anything other than
    the soles of your feet touch the ground.
[18:03] Hinomaru
    I worked hard to make sure I won't fall.
[18:06] Hinomaru
    Those dull punches aren't
    enough to drop me.
[18:09] Yuma
    There's no way that's true!
[18:12] Yuma
    Don't mess with me!
[18:14] Hinomaru
    I can fight back now.
[18:23] Hinomaru
    It's time for some sumo.
[18:27] Hinomaru
    Ready for a taste?
[18:30] Hinomaru
    Spirit!
[18:44] Ozeki
    H-He took Yuma-san down with one hit!
[18:48] Ozeki
    Ushio Hinomaru...
[18:51] Ozeki
    The two-time elementary school
    champion from three years ago.
[18:54] Ozeki
    He was so strong, they gave him the moniker
    of a demonic national treasure:
[18:58] Ozeki
    “Onimaru Kunitsuna!”
[19:00] Hinomaru
    Well, understand how amazing sumo is now?
[19:04] Hinomaru
    As promised, leave the dojo
    key here and get lost.
[19:08] Funaki
    You must be joking!
[19:09] Nishizato
    You haven't won!
[19:13] Hinomaru
    This was a duel.
[19:14] All
    We'll kill ya!
[19:16] Yuma
    Stop!
[19:18] Yuma
    I had fifteen minutes and
    couldn't drop him,
[19:21] Yuma
    but he did it in one hit.
[19:23] Yuma
    I've lost, and that's all there is to it!
[19:32] Yuma
    Damn! How did I lose to that shrimp?
[19:35] Hinomaru
    If you want to know, try doing sumo.
[19:38] Hinomaru
    I'm going to be the best
    sumo wrestler in Japan.
[19:41] Hinomaru
    You're welcome to challenge me
    in the ring any time.
SIGN    Odachi High School Sumo Club
[19:48] Ozeki
    Finally, a dojo. It's like a dream!
[19:51] Hinomaru
    It's not a dream.
[19:52] Hinomaru
    It's just gone back to
    the way it should be.
[19:54] Ozeki
    Still, I can't believe you're
    the national treasure, Onimaru...
[20:00] Hinomaru
    You said there are things in
    the world that can't be helped.
[20:03] Ozeki
    Y-Yeah...
[20:04] Hinomaru
    I'm going to win, win more, and keep winning
[20:06] Hinomaru
    to show that it's not the size
     of your body that counts.
[20:10] Hinomaru
    I'll be the best high school sumo wrestler
     so that everyone knows about me.
[20:15] Hinomaru
    I'll make the professional sumo league
    come and bow their heads to me.
[20:21] Ozeki
    It's strange. When you say it,
    I feel like it might really happen.
[20:25] Hinomaru
    It's not something to joke about.
[20:27] Hinomaru
    See ya.
[20:45] Student
    Please take one!
[20:46] Student
    Come join the soccer club!
[20:46] Student
    Oh, you want to join the basketball club?
[20:49] Student
    The ball is your friend!
[20:52] Ozeki
    Sorry.
[20:53] Student
    Quit shifting around.
[20:55] Student
    Don't bother recruiting.
[20:57] Student
    No one's going to join your sumo club.
[20:59] Ozeki
    That's not true!
[21:01] Ozeki
    I think.
[21:03] Ozeki
    But still...
[21:06] Ozeki
    No, this is the year!
[21:09] Hinomaru
    Long time no see!
[21:14] Hinomaru
    The dojo looks completely different!
[21:16] Ozeki
    Ushio-kun, what are you doing here?
[21:18] Hinomaru
    There aren't many sumo maniacs like you.
[21:22] Hinomaru
    So I've decided...
[21:23] Hinomaru
    You and I are going to dominate.
[21:26] Ozeki
    You and me?
[21:28] Hinomaru
    I'm counting on you, captain!
[21:31] Ozeki
    You mean it? Thank you!
[21:33] Ozeki
    Really, thank you!
[21:36] Hinomaru
    Okay, let's have a bout.
[21:37] Ozeki
    Yeah, that sounds great!
[23:15] Student
    Really? But he's so small.
[23:17] Student
    I'm sure of it.
[23:18] Student
    He beat Yuma-san before he enrolled.
[23:22] Ozeki
    You're famous already.
