SIGN    Tottori
    Hakuro
[00:01] Kano
    My motivation for the tournament?
[00:04] Reporter
    Yes, you're the national treasure Okanehira,
[00:07] Reporter
    Hakuro sumo club's #2,
    so we'd like to hear from you, Kano-kun.
[00:11] Kano
    I don't know if "motivation"
    is the right word,
[00:14] Kano
    but I can tell you what I don't like.
[00:16] Kano
    And that's losing.
[00:18] Kano
    I stood by my father's side and watched
[00:21] Kano
    as countless teams had their dreams crushed.
[00:24] Kano
    Sumo is a cruel sport.
[00:28] Reporter
    Right...
[00:29] Kano
    You can train hard
    all three years of high school,
[00:32] Kano
    and it can be over in a moment.
[00:35] Kano
    If you lose, all that toil was for nothing.
[00:38] Kano
    I don't want my team to know
    what that feels like.
[00:42] Kano
    So I'm going to make sure...
[00:45] Kano
    it's our opponents who experience that pain.

    "Weak Spirit, Strong Will"
[02:27] Yomota
    I wonder if Kano's gonna lose...
[02:31] Yomota
    It doesn't seem like he really enjoys sumo.
[02:35] Yomota
    Sosuke and the other national treasures
[02:39] Yomota
    have a special place
    in their hearts for sumo.
[02:43] Yomota
    But he's different, somehow.
[02:46] Yomota
    He talks about his father and his team...
[02:49] Yomota
    Always other people.
[02:52] Yomota
    What about himself?
[02:54] Yomota
    Guys like that never reach the top,
    whatever field they're in.
[02:58] Yomota
    Still, he's strong. He's a national treasure.
[03:03] Yomota
    Maybe that makes him a genius.
[03:05] Yomota
    Good grief.
[03:06] Sawai
    Kunisaki, the former wrestler who's been
    tearing up the sumo ring, is much the same.
[03:12] Yomota
    But in terms of raw sumo ability,
    Kano's the scarier of the two.
[03:18] Kirihito
    Two losses.
[03:20] Kirihito
    It's do or die.
[03:22] Kirihito
    We've got our backs against the wall,
    so Kunisaki-san can't take risks here.
[03:26] Kirihito
    We're at a serious disadvantage.
[03:35] Referee
    Spirit!
[03:37] Guy
    A sharp strike!
[03:39] Enoki
    Kano-san's using his killer stance!
[03:43] Enoki
    It's a half stance that's defensively strong.
[03:47] Enoki
    He absorbs his opponent's force
[03:48] Enoki
    and uses the extra room
    it gives him to execute a throw.
[03:54] Kano
    You won't get away!
[04:00] Sada
    Seriously, dude, how much did you steal?
[04:04] Sada
    National Treasure Eater,
    that's Odenta's Flash Attack you're using!
[04:09] Kano
    This guy...
[04:11] Hinomaru
    Hey, he's doing good!
[04:13] Kirihito
    Go!
[04:14] Kano
    What's with this guy?
[04:17] Kano
    Why's he going hard on the offensive when
    losing this bout will see them eliminated?
[04:20] Chihiro
    Don't act so surprised, Number Two.
[04:25] Chihiro
    You're strong, no doubt about it.
[04:27] Chihiro
    You're a member of the top high school
    sumo club in Japan, and it shows.
[04:31] Chihiro
    But I bet...
[04:32] Chihiro
    that makes you all the
    more fearful of losing.
[04:36] Chihiro
    Call it reckless or whatever you want,
[04:38] Chihiro
    but you can't break out of your shell
    if you don't reach out to your fears.
[04:42] Chihiro
    He knows that better than anyone.
[04:45] Chihiro
    The "weakling" whose efforts
    you called meaningless!
[04:49] Chihiro
    I'll show you...
[04:51] Chihiro
    just how strong people who don't
    know their own limits can be!
[04:58] Enoki
    Kano-san's getting pummeled!
[05:01] Ozeki
    Keep it up, Kunisaki!
[05:02] Kirihito
    All right!
[05:03] Kanamori
    What's going on?
[05:05] Kanamori
    If he just copied that move,
[05:06] Kanamori
    Kano should be able to block it easy,
    since he's never lost to Odenta.
[05:10] Sada
    It was never going to be an exact copy.
[05:13] Sada
    His build and reach are much too different.
[05:16] Sada
    But those differences...
[05:18] Sada
    have made it faster and given it
    a different rhythm from the original.
[05:22] Sada
    That strike is now a Chihiro Special.
[05:27] Kano
    Get a grip!
[05:28] Kano
    His strikes are faster than Odenta's,
    but they're not as hard!
[05:31] Kano
    I can knock them away!

[05:39] Ozeki
    Good hit!
[05:40] Yuma
    He's dominating the high school number two!
[05:44] Kano
    Am I... about to lose?
[05:47] (Flashback) Guy
    He did it! Two years in a row!
[05:49] (Flashback) Guy
    Tennoji takes the title of high
    school yokozuna this year, too!
[05:57] (Flashback) Kano
    I couldn't beat you this year either, huh?
[06:00] (Flashback) Shido
    Does facing a teammate
    lower your intensity, Aki?
[06:04] (Flashback) Shido
    You shone much brighter in middle school.
[06:07] (Flashback) Shido
    Much brighter than now,
    when you've gotten used to losing to me.
[06:11] (Flashback) Shido
    You've got to fight harder.
[06:13] (Flashback) Shido
    We're rivals, remember?
[06:14] Kano
    Don't overestimate me, Shido.
[06:17] Kano
    Training beside you showed me
[06:22] Kano
    that I had no hope of beating you.
[06:25] Kano
    You can laugh all you want.
[06:27] Kano
    But even so...
[06:29] Kano
    Being second only to Shido...
[06:31] Kano
    Yeah!
[06:32] Kano
    is a source of pride for me!
[06:37] Ozeki
    Kunisaki!
[06:38] Kano
    I don't want to lose to anyone but Shido!
[06:41] Kano
    I won't lose to Kusanagi,
    and I won't lose to you!
[06:44] Kanamori
    Being cornered lit a fire inside him.
[06:47] Enoki
    Kano-san always says
    he's not as good as Shido-san.
[06:51] Enoki
    But we know the truth.
[06:53] Enoki
    You love sumo, too!
[06:56] Guy
    He's got both hands on his belt!
[06:58] Ozeki
    Oh, no! He's been caught.
[07:01] Ozeki
    He can't use his agility at close quarters!
[07:03] Yuma
    Damn, he's got both
    sides of his mawashi belt!
[07:07] Kirihito
    Even Kunisaki-san doesn't have a technique
    that'll shake off Okanehira's grip!
[07:12] Chihiro
    There are no throws I can do
    that'll get me out of this.
[07:16] Chihiro
    So...
[07:21] Chihiro
    I'll just bulldoze him out of the ring!
[07:24] Kanamori
    Kunisaki is...
[07:25] Araki
    ...pushing him out?
[07:26] Chihiro
    You didn't catch me.
[07:29] Chihiro
    I'm the one who caught you.
[07:31] Chihiro
    It's true that I have less experience
    than you, but in the sumo ring...
[07:36] Chihiro
    I'm not a wrestler anymore!
[07:38] Chizuko
    Before, Kunisaki-san would've come up
    with a way to break his grip and pull back.
[07:44] Chizuko
    But that's not how he does things now.
[07:47] Chizuko
    He's making progress as a sumo wrestler.
[07:49] Chizuko
    They're equal in physique and position.
[07:51] Chizuko
    Now it's just a battle of wills
    between two sumo wrestlers.
[08:00] Kano
    Why isn't he stopping?
[08:02] Kano
    Instead of weakening,
[08:04] Kano
    he's applying more and more pressure!
[08:06] Chihiro
    I don't like the front force-out.
[08:09] Chihiro
    It's so bland.
[08:11] Chihiro
    But...
[08:14] Chihiro
    Your back was anything but bland!
[08:18] Chihiro
    After seeing that look in your eyes,
[08:21] Chihiro
    I can't whine and give up!
[08:28] Yomota
    I know I said I wanted Kano to lose...
[08:32] Yomota
    But I think I hate Kunisaki more now.
[08:36] Referee
    East side wins!
[08:39] Announcer
    Kunisaki-kun wins by force-out!
[08:44] Chizuko
    An unflamboyant force-out...
[08:46] Chizuko
    Your bout might just have
    had an effect on him.
[08:50] Mitsu
    We picked up sumo at the same time.
[08:54] Mitsu
    This isn't fair.
[08:56] Mitsu
    He's just too cool.
[09:00] Sawai
    In the end, Kunisaki utterly destroyed him.
[09:04] Sawai
    Kano-san didn't have an answer.
[09:06] Yomota
    We'll have to watch out for Kunisaki.
[09:08] Yomota
    He just keeps getting stronger.
[09:10] Hyodo
    I don't believe it.
[09:13] Hyodo
    Both Hakuro and Odachi
    have female managers.
[09:17] Hyodo
    Why don't we have one?
[09:20] Yomota
    Uh, what are you talking about?
[09:22] Hyodo
    Kano caused his own downfall.
[09:25] Hyodo
    Chihiro came at him like a bull
    instead of being clever,
[09:28] Hyodo
    and Kano hesitated.
[09:30] Hyodo
    To put it another way, Chihiro
    sniffed his chance and took it.
[09:35] Hyodo
    That's what watching me will do to someone!
[09:41] Kano
    Sorry I couldn't finish them off.
[09:53] Sanada
    That's their first-year Mongolian
    exchange student, Batmönkh Batbayar.
[09:58] Sanada
    A high school team can only field
    one foreigner in tournaments.
[10:01] Sada
    And he took that spot as a first-year?
[10:05] Sada
    That explains the intense vibes I'm getting.
[10:07] Kanamori
    And Dachi High is still teetering
    on the edge of a cliff.
[10:10] Kanamori
    Plus, that guy's never had to perform...
[10:13] Kanamori
    when everything's on the line like it is now.
[10:17] Ozeki
    Kunisaki!
[10:18] Kirihito
    You really came through for us!
[10:21] Chihiro
    'Course I did! Who d'ya think you're talking to?
[10:23] Chihiro
    Okay.
[10:25] Chihiro
    Show us how awesome you can be, Gojo—
[10:30] Yuma
    D-Did you say something?
[10:33] Ozeki
    Yuma-san...
[10:36] Kanamori
    It's over.
[10:38] Chihiro
    What are you getting nervous about, Gojo?!
[10:41] Chihiro
    You know what's riding on this, don't you?!
[10:44] Chihiro
    If you lose, it's all over for Dachi High!
[10:47] Chihiro
    We won't be the best in Japan!
[10:49] Chihiro
    And Hinomaru won't make
    it to the pro league!
[10:54] Ozeki
    Hey, Kunisaki,
    don't put so much pressure on him.
[10:57] Ozeki
    Sorry, Yuma-san, this is because I lost.
[11:00] Yuma
    O-Ozeki...
[11:03] Guy
    What's this?
[11:04] Guy
    Dachi High's arguing.
[11:06] Reina
    Yuma...
[11:10] Yuma
    Ozeki lost because of the
    two years I stole from him.
[11:15] Yuma
    Now, the team's dream,
    and the shrimp's future...
[11:21] Hinomaru
    Yuma.
[11:24] Hinomaru
    This isn't some dire situation.
    You've been handed a huge opportunity.
[11:27] Yuma
    An opportunity?
[11:29] Yuma
    He's right. This is what I've been waiting for.
[11:33] Yuma
    To take back what was done.
[11:35] Yuma
    To Ozeki, Shorty, and the sumo club.
[11:38] Yuma
    I can make it all right.
[11:40] Yuma
    If I'm the type to tremble at that thought...
[11:42] Yuma
    then I'll just fight while trembling!
[12:01] Yuma
    I'm a member of
    the Dachi High sumo club, too.
[12:03] Yuma
    I'm gonna carry my share of the load!
[12:06] Hinomaru
    Yeah.
[12:12] Boy
    Mom, you should do what
    he did and chill out, too.
[12:15] Takani
    I'm fine.
[12:17] Takani
    My student will give it his all.
[12:18] Takani
    Do not look away.
[12:20] Takani
    You have to watch, no matter what happens.
[12:26] Bato
    Why do I have to fight you?
[12:29] Bato
    Just so you know, I'm stronger than Kano-san.
[12:34] Bato
    I'm not here to play.
[12:36] Bato
    This is like a tryout for me.
[12:40] Bato
    Each stable can only
    have one foreign fighter.
[12:43] Bato
    With such a strict limit, I need to show how
    strong I am to mark me out from the rest.
[12:49] Bato
    And then, they give me you as an opponent.
[12:52] Bato
    I'd much rather have fought Onimaru.
[12:56] Yuma
    Shut your mouth.
[12:58] Yuma
    I don't care what you're here for.
[13:01] Yuma
    I'm gonna push my team's dream forward,
    even if it means eating a rock!
[13:07] Referee
    Competitors, hands on the ground.
[13:10] Enoki
    Mongolian sumo doesn't use a ring.
[13:12] Enoki
    The bout doesn't end
    until one competitor falls.
[13:15] Enoki
    That's why Bat's a specialist in
    getting up close and personal.
[13:19] Enoki
    That guy, on the other hand,
    often loses in those situations.
[13:23] Enoki
    We have a massive advantage in this bout.
[13:28] Reina
    Good luck!
[13:29] Reina
    You're strong, Yuma!
[13:32] Referee
    Spirit!
[13:36] Ozeki
    Strikes!
[13:38] Bato
    Here we go.
[13:40] Bato
    You specialize in strikes, right?
[13:42] Bato
    I'll beat you with strikes and
    show your country how strong I am!
[13:48] Yuma
    So you're as strong as a national treasure?
[13:51] Yuma
    There's no way I should be beating you,
[13:55] Yuma
    but it looks like I don't have a choice!
[13:58] Saigo
    There they are!
[13:59] Funaki
    His karate-style strikes!
[14:00] Hashi
    Yuma-san!
[14:02] Yuma
    I won't let myself lose!
[14:04] Yuma
    If I lost, he'd regret his own
    loss for the rest of his life!
[14:08] Yuma
    I'll lay down my life to make
    Dachi High the best in Japan!
[14:13] Bato
    So you're not here to play, either.
[14:16] Bato
    That makes beating you more worthwhile!
[14:23] Kirihito
    The Mongolian, Batbayar...
    I didn't expect him to fight like that!
[14:27] Ozeki
    But if he's only using strikes,
[14:29] Ozeki
    Yuma-san can win!
[14:32] Bato
    These strikes are trouble.
[14:35] Yuma
    My strikes are better than
    Odenta's and Kunisaki's!
[14:38] Yuma
    Striking is my route to victory!
[14:40] Bato
    But a privileged competitor like you,
    who has never had to fight for his place,
[14:45] ---
    Tottori
    Hakuro
[14:45] Bato
    cannot hope to defeat me!
[14:47] (Flashback) Fuche
    What was that? I dare you to say that again!
[14:49] (Flashback) Bato
    I'll say it as many times as you want.
[14:51] (Flashback) Bato
    You're weaker than me,
    so I want your spot on the roster.
[14:55] (Flashback) Bato
    There's a limit of one foreigner per team.
[14:58] (Flashback) Shido
    That's enough, Bato.
[15:00] (Flashback) Shido
    Before talking about who's stronger,
    you need to learn some manners.
[15:04] (Flashback) Bato
    Manners?
[15:05] (Flashback) Bato
    So I should defer to him
    just because he's older?
[15:09] (Flashback) Bato
    I came here to become a pro!
[15:11] (Flashback) Bato
    Unlike the rest of you,
    I'm not here to play!
[15:15] (Flashback) Bato
    I've never had a real bout with you.
[15:18] (Flashback) Bato
    If I beat you, will I get what I want?
[15:21] (Flashback) Kano
    Hey, Bat, knock it off!
[15:23] (Flashback) Shido
    There can be no respect until
    we acknowledge each other, huh?
[15:27] (Flashback) Shido
    All right.
[15:29] (Flashback) Shido
    Let's start by getting to know each other.
[15:35] Bato
    H-He's strong!
[15:37] Bato
    Am I losing? I can't be.
[15:39] Bato
    Not to a Japanese student!
[15:42] Bato
    No!
[15:43] Bato
    No, no!
[15:44] Bato
    This can't be happening!
[15:46] Bato
    If I lose now, I can't become a yokozuna!
[15:51] Shido
    You idiot.
[15:58] (Flashback) Shido
    You're like an animal.
[16:01] (Flashback) Kano
    You went too far when the
    bout was already decided.
[16:03] (Flashback) Saki
    You were too rough on him, bro!
[16:05] (Flashback) Shido
    Too rough?
[16:06] (Flashback) Shido
    It would've gone the same way
    if the roles were reversed.
[16:10] (Flashback) Shido
    That's the kind of battle we were in.
[16:13] (Flashback) Shido
    I couldn't let him win.
[16:15] (Flashback) Shido
    We're both idiots trying
    to become yokozuna.
[16:21] (Flashback) Shido
    I have space in my dorm room.
[16:24] (Flashback) Shido
    I'll teach you everything from basic
    manners to how to scrub a toilet.
[16:31] Bato
    Did you think you could beat me in strikes?
    Don't underestimate me!
[16:35] Bato
    The only people I acknowledge are Tennoji
[16:38] Bato
    and the teammates I've trained so hard with!
[16:45] Sanada
    Batbayar's got the upper hand!
[16:47] Kanamori
    He's avoiding the impacts
    from Gojo's strikes!
[16:51] Saigo
    Yuma-san's landing more strikes, but...
[16:54] Takani
    The accuracy of each blow...
[16:57] Takani
    The number of critical hits
    to his torso is on another level.
[17:03] Yuma
    Improved karate! Winding defense!
[17:09] Hinomaru
    He's not falling.
[17:11] Kirihito
    Gojo-san should have an
    advantage at that distance,
[17:15] Kirihito
    but he was completely outmatched!
[17:19] Yuma
    If he grabs my mawashi belt, it's over.
[17:25] Bato
    How did he grab my wrist?
[17:27] Bato
    My wrist was hidden from view,
    but he still grabbed it!
[17:31] Takani
    Yes!
[17:33] (Flashback) Takani
    Sumo is fought at extremely close range.
[17:36] (Flashback) Takani
    You can't see your opponent's whole body.
[17:39] (Flashback) Takani
    Even though you'll only have limited
    information, you must anticipate
[17:43] (Flashback) Takani
    your opponent's movements and
    react accordingly even when blind.
[17:47] Takani
    You trusted my instructions
    and geared your training to them.
[17:50] Takani
    That simple-minded straightforwardness
    is your biggest asset!
[17:56] Yuma
    Reel-in lunge strike!
[17:59] Bato
    This strike could do serious damage!
[18:02] Reina
    He dodged it!
[18:05] Bato
    So you were waiting for me
    to grab your mawashi belt?
[18:09] Bato
    Too bad it didn't help you!
[18:10] Bato
    You're wide open!
[18:12] Yuma
    This is just... what I was waiting for!
[18:17] Bato
    This is what he was really after?!
[18:19] Kirihito
    Yes!
[18:20] Kirihito
    He feigned only being good at strikes,
[18:23] Kirihito
    and to further that lie,
    he kept hidden all this while...
[18:25] Kirihito
    His trump card!
[18:26] Kanamori
    Gojo's grappling!
[18:28] Reina
    Go!
[18:29] Ozeki

[18:40] Hinomaru
    The inside leg trip didn't work.
[18:42] Kirihito
    He still has two points of contact!
[18:47] Bato
    I have to acknowledge him.
[18:49] Bato
    He's not a national treasure...
[18:51] Bato
    but he's strong!
[18:53] Bato
    So what, though?
[18:56] Chihiro
    With just one hand?!
[18:57] Bato
    I'm going to be better than Tennoji.
[18:59] Bato
    I'm going to become a yokozuna!
[19:01] Bato
    I've talked a big game to
    force myself to live up to it!
[19:06] Bato
    If I don't win, I can't
    stay in this country!

    Hang in there, Yuma!
[19:18] Kano
    He forced it!
[19:20] Bato
    I have to grab his belt!
[19:22] Yuma
    Lower block!
[19:24] Yuma
    Reverse strike!
[19:26] Yuma

[19:27] Yuma

[19:42] Yuma
    There's still life in his eyes!
[19:44] Yuma
    Neither the surprise grapple nor my
    all-out strike combo did the trick?
[19:51] Yuma
    No...
[19:55] Yuma
    Trust the team.
[19:58] Yuma
    Trust them and keep fighting.
[20:01] Yuma
    It's working. Don't stop!
[20:03] Yuma
    Keep hitting him until your arms falls off!
[20:06] Yuma
    Put it all on the line!
[20:07] Yuma
    Everything this team has given me!
[20:10] Kanamori
    Push!
[20:15] Takani
    He fights hardest when he's doing it
    for the sake of someone else.
[20:19] Takani
    Even now, you won't forgive yourself.
[20:22] Takani
    But it's that seriousness
    that I want to see rewarded.
[20:27] Takani
    Win, Yuma. If not for anyone else,
    then do it for yourself!
[20:51] Takani
    I hate stories about punks seeing the light.
[20:56] Takani
    They always make me cry.
[21:03] Referee
    East side wins!
[21:15] Takani
    Don't you ever end up like him.
[21:19] Takani
    He's too much of a pain.
[23:00] Saki
    He always deep fries chicken when
    he's got something on his mind.
[23:04] Enoki
    I wonder what happened.
[23:06] Shido
    These look good! I'm gonna have one.
[23:10] Shido
    What did you use for seasoning?
[23:12] Kano
    I dipped it in a corn soup I'm trying out.
[23:15] Bato
    I love fried chicken!
[23:16] Bato
    I want one, too!
[23:19] Kano
    Those are waiting to be re-fried.
[23:22] Enoki
    Oh, I've got it. It's because
    he lost to Bato today.

[23:28] Saki
    So that's the reason.
