[00:02] Shibakiyama
    Do you and the Dachi High team wanna
    come over and train with us this weekend?
[00:06] Shibakiyama
    Sumo wrestlers from another stable are
    joining us for a joint training session.
[00:10] Shibakiyama
    You'll get the chance to fight
    a current ozeki wrestler.
[00:13] Hinomaru
    A-An ozeki?!
[00:19] Hinomaru
    The Dachi High sumo club
[00:21] Hinomaru
    has arrived in Nagoya!
[00:24] Chihiro
    Miso cutlets and chicken wings!
[00:28] Kirihito
    Hey, now. We're not here as tourists.
[00:31] Kirihito
    We're here to train, remember.
[00:33] Yuma
    We got here quicker than I thought.
[00:36] Yuma
    The master's got a meeting, so we
    won't see him till this evening, right?
[00:39] Kirihito
    Yeah, so we'll have our own
    team meeting until then.
[00:43] Chihiro
    You've gotta be kidding!
[00:44] Chihiro
    We've come all the way to Nagoya, dude!
[00:46] Ozeki
    He's got a point.
[00:47] Ozeki
    We can have a team meeting tonight.
[00:50] Mitsu
    I want to go see Nagoya Castle.
[00:52] Kirihito
    Oh, honestly.
[00:54] Kirihito
    Tell them, Hinomaru.
[00:57] Hinomaru
    Nagoya Castle sounds great.
[01:01] Hinomaru
    Wh-What do you say, Kirihito?
[01:03] Hinomaru
    A quick detour won't hurt.
[01:05] Ozeki
    I'm not used to Ushio
    saying things like that.
[01:09] Ozeki
    He's normally the dictionary
    definition of stoicism.
[01:12] Kirihito
    Well, training for the national
    tournament will undoubtedly be tense.
[01:17] Kirihito
    This may be their only chance
    to catch their breath
[01:21] Kirihito
    before we leave Nagoya.
[01:23] Kirihito
    Okay, let's go check out Nagoya Castle.
[01:26] Hinomaru
    Yeah!
[01:28] Mitsu
    Huh? Where'd the others go?
[01:31] Chihiro
    Castles don't interest me one little bit.
[01:33] Chihiro
    Let's eat!
[01:34] Yuma
    My sentiments exactly.
[01:36] Ozeki
    I want to try some Nagoya cuisine.
SIGN    Bout 12
    "Attack!! Nagoya Castle"
SIGN    Welcome
    Suzugatake Faction
[03:15] Guy A
    High school sumo?
[03:18] Guy A
    Oh, you mean those national treasures
    sumo fans are always going on about.
[03:22] Guy B
    It's a bumper crop this year. The kind
    that only comes around once a century.
[03:27] Guy C
    Still, this year's high school yokozuna
    is bound to be Tennoji-kun again.
[03:32] Guy D
    Tennoji's good, but there's also
    Yamatokuni's boy, Kuze Sosuke.
[03:38] Guy D
    I think he's got what it takes to earn
    himself a national treasure moniker.
[03:42] Shibakiyama
    One or two stand-out fighters
    does not a bumper crop make.
[03:47] Shibakiyama
    This year's high school sumo has been like
    the Sengoku era, with several great talents.
[03:56] Hinomaru
    This is fun!
[03:57] Hinomaru
    I wish the others had left stuffing their
    faces till later and come with us instead!
[04:01] Kirihito
    I don't really get what's fun about it,
    but I'm glad you're having a good time.
[04:05] Kirihito
    By the way, who built Nagoya Castle?
[04:08] Kirihito
    Miyamoto Musashi?
[04:10] Mitsu
    History's not my bag,
    and even I know you're way off.
[04:15] Chizuko
    Nagoya Castle was constructed
    by Tokugawa Ieyasu
[04:19] Chizuko
    for his ninth son, Yoshinao.
[04:21] Hinomaru
    Good knowledge, Hori-chan!
[04:24] Hinomaru
    I always liked Yoshinao for his honesty.
[04:27] Kirihito
    What are you two, history buffs?
[04:30] Keiji
    Come one, come all!
[04:33] Keiji
    The Sengoku period's
    greatest hoodlum stands here!
[04:35] Keiji
    Does anyone dare to challenge
    Maeda Keiji to a sumo bout?
[04:40] Hinomaru
    I do! I do! Sumo with Keiji! Sumo with Keiji!
[04:44] Kirihito
    Hey! You can fight, but don't overdo it.
[04:47] Kirihito
    He's just an actor, after all.
[04:49] Keiji
    This guy looks pretty eager.
[04:52] Keiji
    Okay, let's...
[04:53] Tenma
    Yeah.
[04:55] Hinomaru
    No, dude, Keiji was pointing at me.
[04:58] Hinomaru
    I raised my hand first, too.
[05:01] Tenma
    Huh? Surely it's up to Keiji who he fights.
[05:05] Tenma
    And he and I just made eye contact.
[05:07] Hinomaru
    Hey, give me a break!
[05:09] Hinomaru
    I've come all the way from Chiba to be here!
[05:11] Tenma
    So what? I've come from Ishikawa.
[05:15] Tenma
    The Maeda family was from Ishikawa, too.
[05:18] Tenma
    Just go back to Chiba and wrestle
    some guy in a mouse costume there.
[05:23] Hinomaru
    What'd you say?!
[05:24] Hinomaru
    As a history enthusiast, I refuse!
[05:27] Hinomaru
    And Keiji was from Yamagata!
[05:30] Tenma
    All that aside, do you really think
    you'd be a match for Keiji?
[05:36] Tenma
    I don't like people underestimating Keiji,
[05:39] Tenma
    but I like people
    underestimating sumo even less.
[05:42] Mitsu
    H-He's huge!
[05:43] Kirihito
    And that's going to
    seriously piss off Hinomaru...
[05:46] Hinomaru
    And who are you suggesting
    is "underestimating" sumo?
[05:49] Tenma
    You are, kid. You.
[05:51] Tenma
    Who else would I mean?
[05:54] Hinomaru
    If that's how you feel, let's have
    a bout to settle our argument.
[05:57] Hinomaru
    One to decide who should
    get the chance to take on Keiji.
[06:00] Tenma
    Fine by me, but I won't be held
    responsible if you end up getting hurt.
[06:04] Keiji
    Well, this is an unexpected development...
[06:07] Keiji
    But it sounds like fun, so go right ahead!
[06:12] Chizuko
    He was supposed to be taking a breather,
    but he's ended up sumo wrestling, anyway.
[06:16] Kirihito
    Please... Don't anybody get hurt.
[06:20] Keiji
    Okay, let's see what you got!
[06:28] Hinomaru
    This guy...
[06:36] Guy A
    The Sengoku era, huh?
[06:38] Guy A
    You all do seem to be neglecting
    another very important name.
[06:42] Guy C
    Ah, yes. When talking about promising high
    school students, we can't overlook him.
[06:48] Guy A
    Yeah, I was thinking of inviting
    him to our little training session.
[06:53] Shibakiyama
    "Him"?
[06:54] Keiji
    Spirit!
[07:01] Guy A
    He's the strongest of the lot and
    the closest to becoming a yokozuna.
[07:05] Guy A
    He's the younger brother
    of the ozeki, Daikeisho.
[07:10] Mitsu
    He pushed Hinomaru-san
    to the edge with one hit?
[07:12] Kirihito
    What? How's this happening
    here of all places?
[07:15] Tenma
    I thought that'd be enough to finish you.
[07:18] Tenma
    You're not bad.
[07:22] Hinomaru
    What a terrifying strike.
[07:24] Hinomaru
    If I get hit by that,
    it'll knock my head clean off!
[07:27] Kirihito
    Unleashing powerful strikes
    with a massive reach...
[07:30] Kirihito
    Reputed to be the best high school sumo,
    with an ozeki for an older brother...
[07:34] Kirihito
    National treasure: Odenta Mitsuyo,
    AKA Hikage Tenma!
[07:39] Kirihito
    That's enough, Hinomaru!
[07:40] Kirihito
    There's no need to show your strength here!
[07:43] Hinomaru
    No, it's the exact opposite!
[07:45] Hinomaru
    I'm not showing him mine.
    I'm gonna see what he's got!
[07:49] Hinomaru
    It's not just Tennoji and Kuze
    I need to defeat.
[07:53] Hinomaru
    I need to see how far my strength
    will take me at nationals!
[07:57] Hinomaru
    And you're going to be
    the measuring stick, Odenta!
[08:01] Mitsu
    A frontal grab!
[08:02] Mitsu
    Go!
[08:04] Hinomaru
    Take this! Maximum strength for nationals!
[08:07] Hinomaru
    Hundred-Thousand Demon...
[08:16] Hinomaru
    What's this sinking feeling?
[08:18] Hinomaru
    Come to think of it, why'd he
    let me grab him so easily?
[08:23] Hinomaru
    If I continue with this throw, will I lose?
[08:26] Tenma
    What's wrong? Show me your throw...
[08:30] Tenma
    Onimaru.
[08:39] Yonemura
    I've been looking all over
    for you, Tenma, you dolt!
[08:41] Yonemura
    You've got some nerve, competing in a bout
    when you're meant to be cleaning the hall.
[08:45] Yonemura
    You may be a national treasure,
    but don't let it get to your head!
[08:49] Tenma
    But I haven't.
[08:52] Tenma
    I already did my bit.
[08:55] Yonemura
    Captain!
[08:56] Tenma
    Can you please tell him?
     It's impossible to get through to him.
[09:00] Aizawa
    It looks like our club member
    has been causing you trouble.
[09:04] Aizawa
    Please accept our apologies.
[09:06] Aizawa
    I realize you were in the middle of a bout,
    but we must excuse ourselves.
[09:13] Aizawa
    You can finish your fight at nationals,
[09:16] Aizawa
    Mr. Triple Combo, Onimaru-kun.
[09:22] Mitsu
    What did he just say?
[09:23] Kirihito
    He made it sound like
    they're looking out for it.
[09:27] Kirihito
    Hikage's stance was
    clearly inviting a throw.
[09:30] Kirihito
    It's been less than a week
    since the Inter High.
[09:33] Kirihito
    Do they already know how to counter it?
[09:36] Aizawa
    So how did you like meeting
    Onimaru-kun in the flesh?
[09:40] Tenma
    He was more of a coward than I expected.
[09:43] Tenma
    Can't blame him, though.
[09:45] Tenma
    No one wants to see their own
    technique get utterly destroyed.

    Damn!
[09:57] Terahara
    We can't let you high schoolers
    beat us that easily.
[10:06] All
    Thank you for your hard work!
[10:09] Saenoyama
    Ushio-kun.
[10:13] Hinomaru
    Um, where are we going, Saenoyama-zeki?
[10:16] Saenoyama
    You look dejected.
[10:19] Saenoyama
    I heard you've hit another wall.
[10:23] Hinomaru
    It'll be okay.
[10:25] Hinomaru
    But it seems my best weapon
    won't bail me out at nationals.
[10:30] Hinomaru
    Honestly, it's getting to me a little.
[10:34] Saenoyama
    What are you talking about?
[10:36] Saenoyama
    Your greatest weapon is
    your heart that refuses to give up.
[10:44] Saenoyama
    That master called you all the way out here
[10:47] Saenoyama
    must mean he believes something here
    will help you smash through that wall.
[10:51] Saenoyama
    And that's the Suzugatake Faction,
    which the Shibakiyama Stable is part of.
[10:57] Saenoyama
    It represents what
    you always desire the most:
[11:00] Saenoyama
    an ordeal that'll make you stronger.
[11:06] Chizuko
    We can see the whole
    sumo ring from here.
[11:09] Chizuko
    Let's set up here.
[11:11] Reina
    Y-Yeah...
[11:14] Reina
    But aren't we filming them
    without permission?
[11:17] Chizuko
    The instructor told us to.
[11:19] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Follow those two and film their training.
[11:23] Reina
    But why are just those two
    training separately?
[11:27] Reina
    Do only a select few
    get invited into that tent?
[11:29] Chizuko
    Yes, everyone in there
    has a white mawashi belt.
[11:33] Chizuko
    Meaning they're all sekitori.
[11:35] Chizuko
    Sekitori are sumo wrestlers
    in the juryo rank and above.
[11:38] Chizuko
    They're considered the elite,
    even among the pros.
[11:41] Reina
    H-How do you know so much?
[11:44] Reina
    You only just got into sumo...
[11:47] Chizuko
    I did some research after joining the club.
[11:50] Chizuko
    I'm their manager, so I need
    to be as useful as possible.
[11:54] Hinomaru
    Thank you for your hard work!
[12:02] Mionishiki
    So you're the national treasure?
[12:04] Mionishiki
    The one Shibakiyama-san likes.
[12:07] Hinomaru
    I'm Ushio Hinomaru!
[12:08] Hinomaru
    Thank you for having me!
[12:10] Mionishiki
    Stow the gratitude.
    What are you doing here?
[12:16] Mionishiki
    This is a critical time for us in the
    run-up to the Nagoya Tournament.
[12:21] Mionishiki
    We're all here to get
    some quality training done.
[12:25] Mionishiki
    What's an amateur doing in here?
[12:27] Guy
    Well, I didn't agree to this, either.
[12:31] Mionishiki
    Rank is everything in professional sumo.
[12:34] Mionishiki
    Promising high schooler prospect or not,
[12:36] Mionishiki
    nobody gets to boss around
    wrestlers of higher rank.
[12:40] Mionishiki
    You don't even have a rank. You're nothing
    more than a worm in our presence.
[12:46] Shibakiyama
    Well, I doubt they'll be the most welcoming.
[12:49] Kirihito
    You didn't get their approval?
[12:51] Shibakiyama
    Sekitori are a proud bunch.
[12:55] Shibakiyama
    They got to where they are
     by fighting for it.
[12:59] Shibakiyama
    Those without pride
     could never make it there.
[13:01] Shibakiyama
    The sumo ring is sacred ground where only
    the rank of the current wrestlers matters.
[13:06] Shibakiyama
    I can lead him to the straw of
    the ring, but not one step farther.
[13:11] Shibakiyama
    Whether he can get inside
     and grasp something
[13:14] Shibakiyama
    depends on Hinomaru-kun's determination.
[13:19] Guy
    What do you say, Sae?
    Not gonna bail him out?
[13:24] Saenoyama
    No, I won't.
[13:26] Saenoyama
    I have brought a bona fide
    sumo wrestler to the ring.
[13:35] Hinomaru
    If you consider me an eyesore,
    feel free to push me out of the ring.
[13:40] Hinomaru
    Rank is everything...
[13:42] Hinomaru
    I just need to be strong enough to
    be a good training partner, right?
[13:48] Hinomaru
    Please decide my rank right here and now.
[13:54] Reina
    What's he thinking?
[13:55] Reina
    That guy's really strong, isn't he?
[13:57] Chizuko
    Yes. He's the eighth-ranked east
    maegashita, Mionishiki-seki.
[14:01] Chizuko
    He's a higher rank than Saenoyama-zeki.
[14:04] Reina
    But that means...
[14:06] Chizuko
    Ushio-kun has never beaten Saenoyama-zeki.
[14:12] Hinomaru
    An eighth-ranked maegashira...
    Can I beat him?
[14:16] Hinomaru
    No, I need to give it all I've got!
[14:19] Hinomaru
    If I don't, I'll regret it!
[14:22] Hinomaru
    I don't want to taste
    any more disappointment!
[14:24] Mionishiki
    A spider stance, huh?
[14:26] Mionishiki
    Impudent child.
[14:28] Mionishiki
    Come.
[14:29] Guy
    Spirit!
[14:38] Guy
    He came off second-best,
     but he's hanging in there.
[14:40] Hinomaru
    In that bout with Hikage,
[14:42] Hinomaru
    why did I stop myself mid-move?
[14:47] Hinomaru
    I was afraid.
[14:48] Hinomaru
    Afraid of losing the small amount
    I've accomplished up until now.
[14:54] Hinomaru
    But...
[14:55] Hinomaru
    That's not it!
[14:58] Hinomaru
    This technique requires you
    to put your life on the line!
[15:02] Hinomaru
    Do not fear death!
[15:03] Hinomaru
    Step forward!
[15:06] Hinomaru
    All my body and spirit is going into this!
[15:10] Hinomaru
    Hundred-Thousand Demon Drop!
[15:18] Guy
    What was that?
[15:21] Reina
    Yes!
[15:24] Hinomaru
    It's not dead.
[15:26] Hinomaru
    The Hundred-Thousand
    Demon Drop is still alive!
[15:29] Saenoyama
    How do you like my junior apprentice?
[15:32] Saenoyama
    A tad more useful than
    a worm, wouldn't you say?
[15:35] Shunkai
    So that's him.
[15:36] Shunkai
    That's the guy Kaoruyama's been on about.
[15:39] Shunkai
    He's one interesting kid.
[15:42] Hinomaru
    I threw a makuuchi sumo wrestler.
[15:45] Hinomaru
    That sinking feeling during my bout
    with Hikage was all in my head!
[15:51] Hinomaru
    The power of the Hundred-Thousand
    Demon Drop is real.
[15:54] Hinomaru
    I can use this technique against Hikage!
[15:57] Guy
    I see! You have a very interesting style.
[16:01] Guy
    Would you fight me next?
[16:03] Guy
    No, wait. I'll go next!
[16:05] Reina
    They're all clamoring for his attention now.
[16:08] Hinomaru
    Was I imagining them all staring at me?
[16:12] Guy
    It looks like he's earned
    the right to train here.
[16:15] Saenoyama
    Yes, but he's only made it to the start line.
[16:19] Shunkai
    Welcome to the ordeal.
[16:29] Guy
    It was close, but let's say
    we hit at the same time.
[16:32] Guy
    That's an incredible technique.
[16:34] Hinomaru
    Wh-What was that?
[16:36] Hinomaru
    Did I make a mistake?
[16:37] Guy
    Okay, I'm next.
[16:40] Guy
    Spirit!
[16:42] Hinomaru
    This technique is a triple combo
    that there's no coming back from!
[16:45] Hinomaru
    If it's not done exactly right, I lose!
[16:51] Guy
    There.
[16:54] Guy
    I guess that's that.
[16:58] Hinomaru
    P-Please wait! Can we go
    one more time, please?
[17:01] Guy
    Sure. We can fight till you're satisfied.
[17:08] Reina
    No... But how?
[17:10] Reina
    Was the first one a fluke?
[17:13] Hinomaru
    Damn... I think I had the timing right there...
[17:17] Mionishiki
    Want to fight me again?
[17:20] Hinomaru
    Mionishiki-zeki.
[17:27] Hinomaru
    This is the same feeling I had with Hikage.
[17:31] Hinomaru
    The sinking feeling.
[17:33] Hinomaru
    Ignore it!
[17:34] Hinomaru
    There!
[17:39] Reina
    N-No...
[17:41] Chizuko
    Even Mionishiki-zeki, who he threw earlier...
[17:43] Mionishiki
    Now you know the truth
    about your technique.
[17:47] Mionishiki
    You caught me unawares the first time, sure.
[17:49] Mionishiki
    I'd never seen a technique like that before.
[17:52] Mionishiki
    But it has more than its
    fair share of weaknesses.
[17:56] Mionishiki
    We sekitori spend our days
    analyzing and being analyzed.
[18:00] Mionishiki
    The same trick doesn't work on us twice.
[18:03] Mionishiki
    Okay, looks like playtime's over.
[18:05] Mionishiki
    Let's get back to training.
[18:07] All
    Yeah.
[18:09] Chizuko
    Having his move anticipated like
    that must come as quite a shock.
[18:13] Reina
    Y-Yeah, but he's fighting
    elite pro sumo wrestlers.
[18:17] Reina
    High schoolers wouldn't
    be able to do that.
[18:21] Chizuko
    You may be right that only pros
    would be able to counter a technique
[18:24] Chizuko
    that they've only seen once.
[18:28] Chizuko
    But if a move is recorded
    and analyzed over and over...
[18:33] Chizuko
    It's entirely possible the same
    thing could happen at nationals.
[18:41] Hinomaru
    My body and spirit have
    reached their limits.
[18:44] Hinomaru
    My trump card has been defeated.
[18:47] Hinomaru
    Does this mean I can't get any stronger?
[18:51] Reina
    So he really can't become a yokozuna.
[18:54] Reina
    I mean, his spirit, body and
    technique have all peaked.
[18:58] Shunkai
    His technique has peaked?
[19:01] Shunkai
    Technique is something you spend
    your whole life developing.
[19:06] Shunkai
    There is no end point, young lady.
[19:10] Hinomaru
    I'm being stupid!
[19:12] Hinomaru
    Remember what Saenoyama-zeki
    said to you, you idiot!
[19:16] Hinomaru
    Don't give up! Think!
[19:19] Hinomaru
    There must be something
    I can learn from the ozeki here!
[19:23] Shunkai
    Show me your face.
[19:25] Shunkai
    You've got about as much life
    in you as a worm, but that'll do.
[19:29] Shunkai
    Hasegawa!
[19:31] Saenoyama
    Who's calling me by my old moniker?
[19:34] Shunkai
    I'm going to borrow this little demon.
[19:39] All
    Thank you for your hard work!
[19:41] Shunkai
    You're all too loud.
[19:43] Saenoyama
    Why is that man here?
    Is this Master Shibakiyama's doing?
[19:47] Chizuko
    The sekitori are acting differently.
[19:50] Reina
    Who exactly is that old geezer?
[19:53] Saenoyama
    Go, Ushio-kun.
[19:55] Saenoyama
    I mean, you should go with him.
[19:58] Saenoyama
    I'm actually rather envious of you.
[20:00] Saenoyama
    I wish I could swap places with you.
[20:04] Shunkai
    Hey.
[20:05] Shunkai
    One of you girls can come, too.
[20:06] Shunkai
    You.
[20:07] Shunkai
    The sassy-looking brunette.
[20:09] Reina
    Huh? Who, me?
[20:13] Hinomaru
    Um, where are we going?
[20:16] Reina
    Hey. Just who is this old coot?
[20:20] Hinomaru
    Pardon me.
[20:22] Hinomaru
    I'm not sure what you have in mind,
    but I have very little time.
[20:26] Hinomaru
    I was planning on staying in that
    tent and training with the ozeki.
[20:29] Shunkai
    We're here.
[20:35] Reina
    Jeez, look at this mansion!
[20:37] Reina
    Seriously, who are you?
[20:39] Shunkai
    Open it.
[20:45] Hinomaru
    There's dust everywhere!
[20:47] Shunkai
    You want to train with the ozeki?
[20:49] Shunkai
    What's so great about them?
[20:51] Shunkai
    None of them are champions.
[20:54] Shunkai
    If you insist, I'll let you decide.
[20:57] Shunkai
    I'm a nice guy, after all.
[21:00] Shunkai
    Would you rather go back
    and train with the ozeki, or...
[21:04] Shunkai
    Will you let me, a former
    yokozuna, instruct you?
[21:10] Reina
    A f-former yokozuna?
[21:13] Shunkai
    I'm telling you I'll hone that
    technique into a real weapon.
[21:18] Shunkai
    Idiot.
