    Kita High got knocked out
    in the first round?
[00:13] Guy
    Getting beat 0-3...
[00:16] Guy
    That's gotta hurt.
[00:21] Tenma
    I'm sorry...
[00:22] Ryuji
    Tenma, snap out of it.
[00:25] Ryuji
    You're still in the individual tournament.
[00:27] Ryuji
    And you can compete next year, too.
[00:30] Tenma
    But next year...
[00:31] Tenma
    You guys won't be here!
[00:36] Tenma
    None of you are pathetic!
[00:38] Tenma
    You guys, the school, my brother...
[00:41] Tenma
    You are all my pride and joy!
[00:44] Tenma
    And I wanted to show the world that!
[00:46] Tenma
    Dammit...
[00:49] Aizawa
    I had no idea you felt that way.
[00:53] Aizawa
    We all did the best we could.
[00:57] Aizawa
    But it wasn't enough.
[01:00] Aizawa
    All that's left is disappointment.
[01:03] Aizawa
    People might say we'll one day
    look back on this as a beautiful memory.
[01:08] Aizawa
    But I don't believe a word of it.
[01:10] Aizawa
    Dammit!
[01:12] Shunkai
    Losing so badly can be tough to take.
[01:16] Shunkai
    But that pain shows how
    earnest your efforts were.
[01:20] Shunkai
    Victory is preferable, but there
    is value in facing up to a loss.
[01:25] Shunkai
    Use this defeat to grow as warriors.

    Match over. Odachi,
    on the east side, wins 3-0.
[01:39] Shido
    They're one amazing team.
[01:42] Tenma
    They're not the complete package,
    but they've got momentum.
[01:44] Tenma
    We'd better not underestimate them.
[01:46] Kano
    Yeah, they're really something.
[01:47] Kano
    Honestly, though, I'm tired
    of seeing people like them.
[01:52] Kano
    They gather momentum, win a few,
    then act like they're gonna go all the way.
[01:56] Kano
    They sometimes even become
     national treasures.
[01:58] Kano
    But eating guys like them for breakfast
    is how we've won six on the trot.
[02:06] Kano
    Right?
[02:07] Tenma
    Right.

    Yes!
[04:01] Guy
    They went three-for-three
    in the third round, too!
[04:03] Guy
    With their momentum from yesterday plus
    Hinomaru back in action, they're unstoppable!
[04:07] Guy
    That injured left arm of his doesn't
    seem to be holding him back at all.
[04:10] Guy
    Odachi's going all the way!

    Fourth bout. On the east side, Yamada-kun.
[04:13] Reina
    Huh?
[04:15] Reina
    Didn't we already win?
    Why are there more bouts?
[04:15] Announcer
    On the west side, Kunisaki-kun.
[04:18] Chizuko
    From today, they have to fight
    all five bouts in each round.
[04:22] Guy

    Okay, get out there and enjoy your debut

    Fifth bout. On the east side, Sato-kun.
[04:34] Aizawa
    On the west side, Mitsuhashi-kun.
[04:36] Guy
    Isn't he a little scrawny?
[04:38] Guy
    I saw this guy in the prefecture prelims.
[04:40] Guy
    He leaps up after the initial charge.
[04:43] Sumo wrestler
    This guy's crafty! Be careful!
[04:50] Referee
    Spirit!
[04:51] Sumo wrestler
    No tricks this time.
[04:53] Sumo wrestler
    Leaping's useless if you know what's coming.
[04:56] Guy
    He sucks!
[04:58] Reina
    Mitsuhashi...
[05:01] Kirihito
    Mitsuhashi...
[05:03] Mitsu
    I'm fine.
[05:04] Mitsu
    I've decided to win with a change-up.
[05:16] Kano
    Why are you yawning?
    Didn't you get any sleep?
[05:19] Enoki
    I couldn't stop watching film
    of the Nagoya Tournament.
[05:23] Enoki
    Daikeisho almost won.
[05:26] Bato
    How?
[05:27] Bato
    Japanese sumo wrestlers weak now.
[05:30] Bato
    Jino, Mongolian wrestler, strong.
[05:32] Enoki
    Yeah, yeah, you made your point.
[05:34] Enoki
    That's why we're here, right? To get stronger.
[05:41] Kano
    Kusanagi...
[05:42] Kariya
    Dojikiri.
[05:44] Shido
    Dojikiri, huh? I don't really like that name.
[05:49] Shido
    After all, Kusanagi sounds way cooler.
[05:54] Shido
    Guess it just shows how much
    more they expect of you...
[05:56] Shido
    Son of Yamatokuni,
    the last Japanese yokozuna.
[06:01] Shido
    You can't bring your father or
    your moniker into the sumo ring.
[06:05] Shido
    You're in there all by yourself.
[06:09] Kuze
    Tennoji-san, I will...
[06:12] Kuze
    enter the ring with the weight of being
    the son of a yokozuna on my shoulders.
[06:18] Shido
    This year's Inter High is a thrill a minute.
[06:23] Announcer
    On the east side, Tottori Hakuro High School.
[06:25] Guy
    Here comes Hakuro.
[06:27] Guy
    The invincible champions are up.
[06:29] Announcer
    First bout. On the east side, Enoki-kun.
[06:33] Referee
    Spirit!
[06:41] Reina
    What kind of move was that?
[06:43] Chizuko
    That was an aikido move.
[06:45] Chizuko
    Sumo's all about knocking
    your opponent off-balance.
[06:48] Chizuko
    He's only 174 cm tall,
    and he doesn't have a large frame.
[06:52] Chizuko
    So he uses aikido, which targets an opponent's
    center of gravity regardless of size.
[06:56] Chizuko
    Hakuro's wrestlers use
    any technique they see fit.
[07:02] Shido
    I ended up choosing Hakuro because
    the team's full of colorful characters.
[07:07] Reina
    Colorful?
[07:09] Chizuko
    They have technicians like Enoki-san...
[07:13] Announcer
    Second bout.
[07:14] Announcer
    On the east side, Shuto-kun.
[07:18] Chizuko
    ...and fighters who are
    all about brute strength.
[07:21] Reina
    I get it now. Colorful characters, indeed.
[07:24] Shido
    Every year, lots of interesting
    sumo wrestlers come to our school.
[07:29] Shido
    International students from Mongolia
[07:32] Shido
    give the team even more variety.
[07:35] Shido
    It motivates us to compete.
[07:38] Shido
    I'm glad I'm part of Hakuro.
[07:40] Shido
    I say that from the bottom of my heart.
[07:43] Yuma
    They've opened up the practice area.
    Let's go check it out.
[07:46] Chihiro
    Before that, let's get some grub!
[07:48] Sada
    Wow, even Hakuro's might
    doesn't scare you, does it?
[07:53] Hinomaru
    Sada.
[07:54] Sada
    You're heading over
    to the practice area?
[07:56] Sada
    Mind if we join you?
[07:59] Sada
    Don't look so wary.
[08:02] Sada
    We actually took a trip out
    to Tottori after the prelims.
[08:07] Ozeki
    Tottori? You mean...

    How's about, for dessert, we recount
    our experiences taking on Hakuro?

    "The Ishi High – Dachi High Joint
    Sparring Session to Take Down Hakuro."
[08:33] Sada
    Yay!
[08:35] Araki
    I never agreed to this!
[08:37] Araki
    They're our enemies!
[08:38] Araki
    Why are we helping them out?
[08:43] Ozeki
    He's got a point. We're a rival team.
[08:45] Ozeki
    Why are you helping us?
[08:47] Sada
    Because this will benefit
    Ishi High, of course.
[08:51] Yuma
    Benefit?
[08:52] Sada
    New Captain Mamiya will explain the details!
[08:56] Mamiya
    You're such a punk for making me
    do the annoying bit...
[09:00] Mamiya
    It's true that this might help
    Dachi High get stronger.
[09:04] Mamiya
    But if you push them,
    you'll make Hakuro dig deep,
[09:09] Mamiya
    so we'll see more of what they've got,
    which will help us when we face them.
[09:13] Chihiro
    So that's your plan.
[09:15] Mamiya
    You benefited from training
    with Kunisaki, didn't you, Sada?
[09:19] Sada
    Yeah, I can't deny it.
[09:21] Sada
    I stole everything I could from
    Kunisaki-san when we sparred.
[09:27] Yuma
    If that's what you're after,
    don't expect us to thank you.
[09:30] Ozeki
    We don't have any reason to refuse.
[09:33] Araki
    I still don't like the idea of giving Dachi
    High more opportunities to celebrate!
[09:37] Sanada
    You got that right.
[09:39] Sanada
    Your team was pathetic not so long ago.
[09:42] Sanada
    Ozeki was your only member,
    and he always lost in the first round.
[09:47] Sanada
    And now, you guys are basking
    in the national spotlight.
[09:50] Sanada
    That's incredible.
[09:53] Sanada
    The hatred we feel for you as our rivals is
    matched by the respect we have for your sumo.
[09:58] Sanada
    We aren't helping you solely
    for our own benefit.
[10:02] Sanada
    We're cheering you on, Dachi High.
[10:09] Kanamori
    You want me to be a stand-in for Tennoji?
[10:12] Sada
    Your physique is closest to his.
[10:15] Sada
    It should help Ushio-kun visualize him.
[10:17] Kanamori
    Okay, I hear you.
[10:19] Sanada
    No one's forcing you to do this, Araki.
[10:22] Sada
    Yeah, don't help them if you don't want to.
[10:24] Araki
    I don't want to be left out.
[10:29] Kirihito
    Having a stand-in for
    Tennoji will definitely help.
[10:33] Kirihito
    This will help them develop even more.
[10:36] Kirihito
    But...
[10:39] Kirihito
    We can't start thinking only Hakuro
    stands between us and the crown.
[10:45] Kirihito
    So he's here, too.
[10:47] Kirihito
    Eiga University High School's...
[10:50] Kirihito
    Kuze Sosuke.
[10:52] Shibakiyama
    The son of a yokozuna.
[10:55] Shibakiyama
    He's at the age where
    he wants to defy his parents.
[10:58] Shibakiyama
    Looks to me like...
[11:00] Shibakiyama
    he's got the same bearing
    as you did at your peak.
[11:03] Shibakiyama
    What do you think, Yamatokuni?
[11:05] Shibakiyama
    I hear he plans to join the pro league
    after he becomes high school yokozuna.
[11:10] Shibakiyama
    The fact that it doesn't
    come across as a joke is scary.
[11:13] Yamatokuni
    I'm a sucker for my son.
[11:16] Yamatokuni
    I thought there wouldn't be anyone
    his age who could challenge him.
[11:21] Yamatokuni
    That is, until I came here.

    ...the future of professional sumo is bright.
[11:41] Reina
    Wh-Why is everyone so excited?
[11:43] Chizuko
    This is the equivalent of
    a fight between yokozuna.

    Undefeated in official bouts,
    and treading the path of a champion.
[11:51] Shibakiyama
    The son of a great yokozuna.
[11:54] Shibakiyama
    Facing a battle-hardened
    king of conquerors.
[11:57] Shibakiyama
    This duel will decide who's best.
[12:03] Referee
    Spirit!
[12:14] Kirihito
    Truth be told, I'd rather these
    two didn't fight each other.
[12:18] Kirihito
    I'm having a premonition.
[12:20] Kirihito
    This battle will produce
    an even more fearsome monster.
[12:26] Shunkai
    Wondering what's happening...
[12:29] Shunkai
    ...in their bout?
[12:32] Shunkai
    They've left you in their wake.
[12:35] Shunkai
    And that's not all. This battle
    may put you even further behind.
[12:41] Shunkai
    So, tomorrow, how are
    you going to beat the guy
[12:44] Shunkai
    you threw everything
    at yesterday to no avail?
[12:47] Hinomaru
    Just like you taught me,
    I've been thinking it over.
[12:52] Hinomaru
    Ever since the moment I lost.
[12:54] Hinomaru
    Even going all-out against him, I wasn't
    able to see the limit of Tennoji's strength.
[13:00] Hinomaru
    But thanks to everyone here,
    I've realized something.
[13:05] Hinomaru
    I have an inner strength that
    I haven't managed to tap into yet.
[13:12] Hinomaru
    Sada, let's have a bout.
[13:14] Hinomaru
    No holding back.
[13:17] Hinomaru
    I'm gonna take another step forward
[13:20] Hinomaru
    in order to get closer to them!
[13:23] ---
    Let's see what you've got.
[13:30] Shunkai
    You're the one best suited to
    finding your own style of sumo.
[13:35] Shunkai
    Now, show me...
[13:37] Shunkai
    The new and improved Hinomaru sumo!
[13:47] Kirihito
    A leg technique?
[13:50] Kirihito
    I expected Tennoji to be more composed.
[13:55] Kirihito
    Why's he being so erratic?
[13:58] Sada
    Tennoji has two faces.
[14:02] Sada
    When we sparred in Tottori,
    I got to see both of them.
[14:06] Sada
    One face is the style he uses
    to make sure he doesn't lose.
[14:09] Sada
    He sees what his opponent does
[14:11] Sada
    and picks a strategy that
    will give him an advantage.
[14:15] Sada
    He researches his opponent thoroughly,
[14:16] Sada
    and fights in a way that
    plays the percentage game.
[14:19] Sada
    As a result, he's undefeated
    in his high school sumo career.
[14:22] Sada
    But two years ago,
[14:24] Sada
    when he went up against upperclassmen
    and wrestlers stronger than him,
[14:27] Sada
    he showed a different face:
[14:29] Sada
    A style he uses to win.
[14:31] Sada
    I like to counterattack,
    and have more of a defensive style.
[14:36] Sada
    That's why I tried to make
    Tennoji go on the offensive.
[14:41] Sada
    The array of attacks he rained down
    on me was absolutely brutal.
[14:48] Sada
    Even thinking back on it
    sends chills down my spine.
[14:55] Kajiya
    So this is the champion,
[14:57] Kajiya
    Dojikiri.
[14:59] Kajiya
    In his bout with Onimaru...
[15:01] Kajiya
    No, he didn't waver in any of his bouts.
[15:05] Kajiya
    Is Sosuke really going to lose?
[15:10] Hinomaru
    As far as I know,
[15:12] Hinomaru
    Tennoji Shido is the strongest sumo
    wrestler competing in high school sumo.
[15:17] Hinomaru
    However... no one in that arena...
[15:21] Hinomaru
    not even me, someone who's fought him...
[15:23] Hinomaru
    knows the true limits
    of Kuze Sosuke's strength.
[15:28] Shido
    Yamatokuni?
[15:31] Kuze
    What is this? My blood should be boiling.
[15:35] Kuze
    And yet, I feel so calm.
[15:38] Shibakiyama
    That comparison to Yamatokuni
    is starting to come true!
[15:43] Shibakiyama
    He's not like Hinomaru or Tennoji.
[15:46] Shibakiyama
    He's frighteningly quiet during the bout,
[15:49] Shibakiyama
    and his eyes reveal
    an unwavering strength.
[15:53] Shibakiyama
    A look of total serenity.
[15:56] Saki
    Attacking creates openings.
[15:59] Saki
    My brother calls that a weakness,
[16:02] Saki
    but when he used to abandon defense
    and fought only on instinct...
[16:06] Saki
    He was much scarier back then!
[16:10] Hinomaru
    No matter who wins,
    my path is laid out in front of me.
[16:14] Sada
    Keep on doing things that
    excite me, Ushio Hinomaru!
[16:19] Sada
    Let's go!
[16:20] Hinomaru
    Sada!
[16:22] Hinomaru
    Thank you!
[16:26] Kirihito
    They've moved apart.
[16:28] Kirihito
    No holding back now.
[16:30] Kirihito
    This will be their second
[16:31] Kirihito
    and probably final head-on charge!
[16:35] Reina
    Kusanagi came off best!
[16:36] Chizuko
    They were evenly matched
    on the first charge!
[16:39] ---
    Tennoji's strength brought out
    the beast within Sosuke!
[16:45] Kirihito
    He went low?!
[16:47] Shido
    I awakened the beast?
[16:49] Shido
    Not at all!
[16:52] Shido
    The beast has awoken for me!
[16:55] Saki
    That's the super-low
    attack my brother perfected
[16:59] Saki
    when he was short like Ushio-kun.
[17:01] Saki
    Only he can pull it off,
    because he used to be so short.
[17:05] Saki
    Its intensity... is boundless!
[17:09] Kariya
    It's working! He's taking too many hits.
[17:12] Kariya
    Every strike from the champion...
[17:15] Kariya
    is chipping away at Sosuke.
[17:18] Shido
    Those years when I was shorter than
    everyone else has made me strong.
[17:24] Shido
    This battle will have the same effect.
[17:26] Shido
    It will make me the strongest!
[17:29] Shido
    I must battle a clone of Yamatokuni,
    the greatest yokozuna of the Heisei era.
[17:35] Shido
    This is another trial that the
    sumo gods have arranged for me!
[17:41] Saki
    He grabbed him!
[17:42] Kariya
    Tennoji has the advantage!
[17:43] Shido
    So I'll overcome it!
[17:46] Shido
    I will wear the rope that tells everyone I've
    defeated the legendary yokozuna, Yamatokuni!
[17:53] Shibakiyama
    What a fearsome competitor...
[17:55] Shibakiyama
    Even in the face of his opponent's
    incredible pressure,
[17:59] Shibakiyama
    he's still thinking about how
    he can win using his ideal sumo.
[18:03] Shibakiyama
    It's...
[18:05] Kuze
    My right hand is on his belt.
[18:06] Kuze
    This is the strongest form I have
    inherited from my father, Yamatokuni.
[18:10] Kuze
    For me, the sumo gods are part
    of Yamatokuni's fighting style!
[18:15] Shido
    I've given up on defense.
[18:17] Shido
    I was prepared to let him
    get his hand on my belt.
[18:19] Shido
    I'm going to win and continue down
    the path to becoming the strongest!
[18:22] Saki
    An arm lock throw...
[18:24] Kariya
    ...and an overarm throw!
[18:25] Both
    At the same time!
[18:28] Shido
    Six Point Torso Slice!
[18:30] Kuze
    Great Serpent Cleaver!
[18:39] Shunkai
    Did the sumo gods turn
    their gaze away from him?
[18:43] Shunkai
    He's far too small to do sumo.
[18:45] Shunkai
    His spirit, body, and technique
    all have room to grow.
[18:50] Shunkai
    But, in that moment, I saw...
[18:54] Shunkai
    a light surrounding Hinomaru
    that will drive away...
[18:59] Shunkai
    the sumo gods!
[19:01] Mamiya
    Incredible.
[19:03] Ozeki
    That might do it.
[19:04] Yuma
    Yeah.
[19:08] Kirihito
    Looks like it paid off.
[19:10] Hinomaru
    Kirihito.
[19:11] Mitsu
    Coach, what happened
    between Tennoji and Kuze?
[19:15] Kirihito
    The winner was...
[19:28] Shibakiyama
    A yokozuna is...
[19:31] Shibakiyama
    the only person permitted to wear
    a sacred rope on their body.
[19:35] Shibakiyama
    They are divine objects.
[19:37] Shibakiyama
    Tennoji Shido was indeed loved by the gods.
[19:42] Shibakiyama
    Kuze Sosuke AKA Kusanagi was not.
[19:49] Shibakiyama
    It is as a god,
[19:51] Shibakiyama
    an embodiment of the divine,
[19:54] Shibakiyama
    that he reigns over the sumo ring.
[19:58] Chihiro
    Well, we figured this was a possibility.
[20:02] Chihiro
    We were planning to beat Tennoji,
    Kuze and all the rest, anyway!
[20:12] Hinomaru
    I lost again!
[20:14] Hinomaru
    Damn! One more game!
[20:15] Yuma
    Hinomaru, you suck at this.
[20:17] Hinomaru
    Hey, Yuma, cut the cards better!
[20:20] Hinomaru
    I hope you're not doing
    anything underhanded!
[20:22] Yuma
    Of course not.
[20:25] Ozeki
    This card game won't be over till Ushio wins.
[20:27] Mitsu
    H-Hey, no peeking!
[20:30] Chihiro
    Ah, loosen up, dude!
[20:31] Chizuko
    The finals are tomorrow, but they
    don't seem the least bit nervous.
[20:37] Reina
    Is this really okay?
[20:39] Kirihito
    It's fine. If they were nervous now,
    they wouldn't last until tomorrow.
[20:44] Kirihito
    And, anyway...
[20:46] Kirihito
    There's no need to worry about
    their mental state anymore.
[20:49] Kirihito
    You always got so worked up, saying
    you wouldn't lose, wouldn't fold...
[20:56] Kirihito
    But now...
[20:59] Kirihito
    I'm glad you chose Dachi High, Hinomaru.
[21:03] Kirihito
    Time for bed!
[21:05] Kirihito
    It's getting late.
[21:06] Hinomaru
    All right!
[21:08] Reina
    Let's head to bed, too.
[21:10] Yuma
    Turn off the light while you're up.
[21:11] Reina
    Okay.
[21:15] Hinomaru
    Thanks.
[21:20] Chihiro
    What are you on about now?
[21:22] Kirihito
    Seriously.
[21:27] Hinomaru
    Guys, let's win tomorrow!
[21:31] All
    Yeah!
[23:05] Ozeki
    This is the first time
    we've bathed together.
[23:08] Hinomaru
    We're all butt naked!
[23:09] Mitsu
    This isn't so different from usual, though.
[23:12] Mitsu
    Coach, aren't you getting in?
[23:14] Kirihito
    It's dangerous for me to stay in too long.
[23:19] Yuma
    Kunisaki!
[23:22] Yuma
    You jerk!
[23:24] Yuma
    Knock it off, you—
