[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.

[00:48] Ozeki
    Ow...
[00:50] Ozeki
    I'm still no match for you, Ushio.
[00:53] Hinomaru
    You've put a lot of work
    into the basics, Captain.
[00:57] Hinomaru
    It's made your legs
    and loins really strong.
[01:01] Ozeki
    I can't believe I get to
    do sumo in the dojo again.
[01:04] Ozeki
    The delinquents had been
    using it as their hangout,
[01:07] Ozeki
    before this tiny new club member
    wrested it back single-handedly.
[01:13] Hinomaru
    Man, I really want to compete in a real bout!
[01:15] Hinomaru
    Hey, Captain, when's the next tournament?
[01:19] Ozeki
    A real bout? We still only have
    a grand total of two members.
[01:24] Ozeki
    We need at least three more
    to enter a tournament.
[01:29] Hinomaru
    No need to worry!
[01:31] Hinomaru
    Tomorrow is club sign-up day,
    so we'll get hordes of new members!
[01:35] Ozeki
    What makes you so sure that'll happen?
[01:39] Hinomaru
    It's all good, man. I've got a plan.
[01:42] Ozeki
    A plan?

    I'm going to be the best
    sumo wrestler in Japan.
[03:55] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    You're welcome to challenge me

[03:59] Yuma
    The best in Japan? What a joke.

[04:23] Hinomaru
    We have this in our corner!
[04:26] Hinomaru
    Hey, you guys!
[04:27] Hinomaru
    Why not at least try a bowl of chanko stew?
[04:32] Student
    I've never had chanko stew before.
[04:36] Student
    I-It's awful! What's in this?!
[04:39] Hinomaru
    B-But it can't be...
[04:40] Student
    Don't feed people this junk!
[04:47] Ozeki
    What did you put in this
    to make it taste so bad?!
[04:51] Hinomaru
    I wanted it to be nutritious, so I added
    some garlic and protein powder.
[05:01] Ozeki
    I-I'll go find a crowd
    and start handing out flyers.
[05:06] Hinomaru
    Was it really that bad?
[05:09] Chihiro
    Mm, delicious.
[05:15] Chihiro
    Its unique bitterness and depth of flavor
    make you sit up and take notice!
[05:19] Hinomaru
    Oh, you like it?
[05:21] Hinomaru
    Have as much as you want!
[05:24] Chihiro
    Are you sure?
[05:25] Chihiro
    Don't mind if I do!
[05:27] Hinomaru
    You look pretty strong.
[05:30] Hinomaru
    Are you interested in sumo?
[05:32] Chihiro
    Huh? Sumo?
[05:34] Chihiro
    I do want to boost my prospects
    by doing lots of combat sports,
[05:37] Chihiro
    but sumo doesn't really interest me.
[05:40] Hinomaru
    Your prospects?
[05:43] Chihiro
    I'm Kunisaki Chihiro, a second-year.
[05:45] Chihiro
    I'm in the wrestling club.
[05:47] Chihiro
    I'm gonna become America's
    top mixed martial arts fighter!
[05:52] Hinomaru
    Well, I'm gonna be a top
    pro sumo wrestler: a yokozuna!
[05:56] Hinomaru
    I'm Ushio Hinomaru!
[05:59] Hinomaru
    Hold up.
[06:01] Chihiro
    That kind of joke isn't gonna
    get a laugh outta me.
[06:03] Chihiro
    I was being deadly serious when I said that.
[06:07] Hinomaru
    Joke?
[06:09] Hinomaru
    I'm serious, too.
[06:15] Chihiro
    I get the feeling we're two of a kind.
[06:18] Chihiro
    Like, we smell the same or something.
[06:22] Chihiro
    Oh, you can have this.
[06:24] Chihiro
    I'm giving these to
    people I find interesting.

    Come by if you're up for it.
[06:35] Chihiro
    See ya.
[06:38] Hinomaru
    Chihiro, huh?
[06:39] Hinomaru
    He's an interesting guy.
[06:42] Hinomaru
    But he's not interested in sumo.
[06:46] Student
    After volleyball, the wrestling club
    is holding an exhibition match.

    We're behind schedule.

    Yes, ma'am!

    Dude. That girl's a real knockout!

    That's last year's Miss Dachi High

    and current student council president,

[07:07] Student
    That's her?!
[07:10] Reina
    The freshmen are already
    taking notice of me.
[07:14] Student
    Still, it's running very smoothly this year.
[07:17] Student
    It must be because that new guy in the
    sumo club took care of all the delinquents—
[07:22] Student
    Hey, doofus! Shut up!
[07:23] Student
    Don't mention that in front of Reina-san!

    How's our chanko stew stand doing?

    It's just how it looks. No one's turned up.
[07:41] Hinomaru
    How about you, Captain?
[07:42] Ozeki
    I handed out flyers, but no one
    seemed remotely interested.

[07:51] Ozeki
    Ah, this event.
[07:53] Ozeki
    Yeah, a bunch of people were
    milling around in the gym for it.
[07:56] Hinomaru
    Aw man, I'm jealous.
[07:59] Ozeki
    Well, no one's coming over
    to our stand, so let's go watch.
[08:03] Chihiro
    Supreme! Invincible! The strongest!
[08:07] Student
    Ippon!
[08:08] Student
    That was his arm drag finishing move:
    the Chihiro Special #1!
[08:11] Student
    Hot on the heels of defeats for the karate
    and boxing clubs, the judo club falls!
[08:17] Hinomaru
    Chihiro's really good.
[08:19] Ozeki
    O-Of course he is.
[08:21] Ozeki
    He was national champ last year.
[08:26] Hinomaru
    So this guy's the strongest
    at Dachi High, not Yuma?
[08:30] Ozeki
    W-Well...
[08:32] Student
    Wait! What's this?
[08:34] Student
    The champion's telling the
    loser where he went wrong!
[08:38] Ozeki
    He's known as Dachi High's Mr. Untouchable.
[08:41] Ozeki
    He can be really obnoxious
     if you get mixed up with him.
[08:44] Hinomaru
    It's still a combat sport.
[08:47] Hinomaru
    It really captures everyone's imagination.
[08:47] Student
    Wrestling's awesome.
[08:48] Student
    He's in the wrestling club?
[08:51] Student
    Okay, who's the next challenger?
[08:54] Student
    Oh! Next in the ring is...
[08:56] Student
    ...th-the sumo club?
[08:58] Reina
    The sumo club?
[08:59] Chihiro
    Hey, I've been waiting for you, Hinomaru.
[09:02] Chihiro
    Sumo doesn't speak to me, but you,
    on the other hand, are an interesting fella.
[09:06] Ozeki
    H-Hey, Ushio...
[09:08] Hinomaru
    Isn't it sad, Captain? Everyone says
    they're not interested in sumo.
[09:16] Hinomaru
    I guess they'll have to see it up close
[09:19] Hinomaru
    to understand just how great sumo is!
[09:31] Student
    Hey, did you hear?
[09:32] Student
    That freshman from the sumo club is taking
    on Kunisaki from the wrestling club.
[09:36] Student
    Wh-What? Really?
[09:38] Student
    The guy who beat Yuma-san?
[09:40] Student
    Yeah. Back when Yuma-san was considered
    the strongest guy at Dachi High.
[09:50] Yuma
    What the hell is that shrimp thinking?
[09:52] Hinomaru
    I want you to see this up close, Chihiro.
[09:59] Chihiro
    I realize I invited you to this event,
    but sumo's big on rituals, isn't it?
[10:03] Chihiro
    You sure you're allowed
    to do it in any old hall?
[10:09] Hinomaru
    Professional sumo wrestling is
    part-ritual, part-entertainment.
[10:14] Hinomaru
    I'm gonna have to entertain a Kokugikan Arena
    that's packed to the rafters one day,
[10:19] Hinomaru
    so this will be good practice.
[10:23] Chihiro
    You're really up for this, aren't ya?
[10:25] Ozeki
    H-Hey...
[10:27] Ozeki
    Are you sure about this, Ushio?
[10:29] Ozeki
    Sure, beating the national wrestling champ
    would make the sumo club look good, but...
[10:34] Hinomaru
    If I lose, I'm sorry.
[10:37] Hinomaru
    Of course, making sumo
    look good is part of it,
[10:40] Hinomaru
    but this is a rare chance to
    face a top-class athlete.
[10:44] Hinomaru
    I want to fight him to get stronger.
[10:49] Ozeki
    Ushio...
[10:51] Hinomaru
    Besides, wrestling matches are
    bare-handed fights in a ring.
[10:55] Hinomaru
    It's really similar to sumo.
[10:59] Chihiro
    They're completely different.
[11:01] Chihiro
    With throws in judo and pinfalls in wrestling,
    they leave you vulnerable to a fatal blow.
[11:05] Chihiro
    You're completely defenseless.
[11:08] Chihiro
    Then, you look at sumo.
[11:10] Chihiro
    If you leave the ring, you lose.
[11:12] Chihiro
    If your hand touches the ground, you lose.
[11:14] Chihiro
    Why? They could just keep fighting.
[11:16] Chihiro
    The way I see it, a loss
    in sumo has less meaning.
[11:20] Chihiro
    You can't call it a victory unless
    you completely subdue your opponent.
[11:23] Chihiro
    I'm going to be a mixed martial artist,
[11:26] Chihiro
    so sumo just seems a little wimpy to me.
[11:30] Hinomaru
    Wimpy, huh?
[11:32] Hinomaru
    I have a suggestion.
[11:33] Hinomaru
    You fight under wrestling rules,
    and I'll fight under sumo rules.
[11:38] Hinomaru
    If I set foot outside this circle,
[11:40] Hinomaru
    or touch the ground with anything
    other than the soles of my feet, I lose.
[11:43] Hinomaru
    You lose if you're on your
    back for more than one second.
[11:47] Hinomaru
    Don't worry about your hands
    or knees touching the ground.
[11:50] Student
    What's the sumo club doing?
[11:52] Student
    He's just given his
    opponent a huge advantage!
[11:56] Yuma
    This guy...
[11:58] Reina
    Is he an idiot?
[12:01] Reina
    I've just had a brainwave.
[12:05] Chihiro
    I don't think you're doing this
    'cause you're underestimating me.
[12:07] Chihiro
    Okay, but I have my own pride to consider.
[12:15] Chihiro
    There we go. Now, it'll be
    easier to grab me, right?
[12:19] Hinomaru
    Yeah.
[12:21] Student
    It's getting increasingly
    electric in this gymnasium.
[12:25] Student
    What's your take on it, Ozeki-san?
[12:27] Ozeki
    Huh? M-My take?
[12:31] Student
    Wh-What's this?
[12:33] Student
    The guest referee who
     will officiate this fight
[12:35] Student
    will be none other than student
    council president Reina-san!
[12:38] Reina
    Thank you, everyone!
[12:41] Yuma
    Wh-What's she doing out there?
[12:44] Chihiro
    Do you even know the rules?
[12:46] Hinomaru
    I don't mind her refereeing.
[12:48] Reina
    This guy beat Yuma?
[12:51] Reina
    I don't know how he did it,
    but I don't accept it.
[12:56] Student
    Very soon, wrestling vs sumo, the combat
    sports battle of the century will begin...
[13:01] Student
    at the sound of the bel—
[13:03] Reina
    Begin!
[13:04] Chihiro
    Supreme!
[13:05] Student
    Whoa, and there's his special
    high-speed "no-motion" tackle!
[13:09] Chihiro
    Chihiro Special #2—
[13:14] Hinomaru
    If this were sumo, you would have just died.
[13:18] Hinomaru
    If we're equating losing with dying,
    then, to us, this would be fatal.
[13:23] Hinomaru
    Still think it's a wimpy sport?
[13:26] Student
    What a challenger!
SIGN    He made a mockery of the national champ's signature tackle!
[13:31] Hinomaru
    Stand up.
[13:33] Hinomaru
    In wrestling, you're not dead yet, right?
[13:37] Chihiro
    This is death? I've got
    lots of fight left in me.
[13:41] Chihiro
    If you want to kill me,
[13:43] Chihiro
    you'll have to break my neck!
[13:47] Chihiro
    He's blocking this, too?
[13:48] Chihiro
    In that case...
[13:49] Chihiro
    Low-flying airplane throw!
[13:51] Chihiro
    Chihiro Special #4!
[13:55] Student
    The champion's unleashing brutal
    attacks, one after another!
[13:58] Student
    But instead of toppling his opponent,
    he can't even drop him to his knees!
[14:02] Reina
    Come on, Kunisaki. How can
    you be having
this much trouble?
[14:05] Yuma
    Incredible.
[14:07] Ozeki
    In sumo, if you fall, you lose.
[14:10] Ozeki
    That's why...
[14:11] Ozeki
    You won't find anyone more resistant
    to falling than a sumo wrestler.
[14:17] Chihiro
    We divide our attention between
    standing and ground moves,
[14:20] Chihiro
    but they can dedicate all of theirs
    to standing moves, huh?
[14:23] Chihiro
    Still...
[14:24] Chihiro
    How can he last so long on one leg?!
[14:27] Student
    However, the challenger has been
    on the back foot for the whole match...
[14:31] Student
    Oh, wow! A barrage of open-hand strikes!
[14:34] Chihiro
    I just faced the boxing club
    and the karate club!
[14:37] Chihiro
    Pummeling me isn't going to beat me—
[14:40] Ozeki
    An armbar throw counter!
[14:42] Student
    The challenger is going on the attack!
[14:45] Ozeki
    An over-thigh scooping body drop!
[14:49] Chihiro
    He keeps backing off
    after getting me on the ground.
[14:53] Chihiro
    He insists on being a sumo wrestler
    to the very end, huh?
[14:56] Chihiro
    He's underestimating me.
[15:07] Reina
    There's something
    different about Kunisaki.
[15:15] Chihiro
    You're strong, Hinomaru.
[15:18] Chihiro
    But your silly obsession with sumo
    and your refusal to stay on the attack
[15:23] Chihiro
    will be your undoing!

    You need to ask? Isn't it obvious?
[16:56] Chihiro
    I'm joining the sumo club.
[16:59] Hinomaru
    A-Are you sure?

    Yeah. The core strength to never fall.

    The hand strength to

    I'll really want those skills

[18:29] Reina
    What's he doing? Is he an idiot?
[18:31] Yuma
    There's something about
    being in a sumo ring.
[18:34] Yuma
    Something that stirs the hearts of men.
[18:37] Reina
    Yuma.
[18:39] Yuma
    He glimpsed it when Kunisaki
    fought that shrimp.
[18:44] Reina
    What are you on about? Ever since Hinomaru
    beat you, you've been acting strange!
[18:47] Reina
    Go back to being my strong big brother!
[18:50] Reina
    Go beat up that Hinomaru guy!
[18:53] Yuma
    Sorry, but I'm done
    with beating people up.
[18:56] Yuma
    I've decided to take up sumo to defeat him.
[18:59] Reina
    Sumo?
[19:00] Yuma
    I can't go into it halfheartedly.
[19:03] Yuma
    He's at a level I can't reach unless
    I work feverishly to get there.
[19:08] Reina
    Is it really worth going to
     all that trouble for him?
[19:11] Yuma
    If you want to know the answer
    to that, just use your eyes.
[19:20] Ozeki
    We worked so hard yesterday,
    but only got two new members.
[19:24] Hinomaru
    It's too early to give up!
[19:27] Hinomaru
    After morning practice,
    we'll hand out more flyers...
[19:29] Ozeki
    The club room is so clean, it's sparkling!
[19:31] Yuma
    You're late!
[19:34] Hinomaru
    What are you doing here?
[19:37] Yuma
    You're the one who said I should come
     if I wanted to know why I lost!
[19:42] Yuma
    P-Plus... losing doesn't sit well with me.
[19:46] Yuma
    I've made up my mind to beat you
    and become the best in Japan!
[19:52] Yuma
    I-I'm saying I'll join the sumo club!
[19:57] Hinomaru
    I have no objections, as long as
    our captain accepts you.
[20:01] Ozeki
    Oh, I don't...
[20:06] Ozeki
    Y-Yuma-san!
[20:08] Yuma
    I'm sorry for my actions.
[20:10] Yuma
    I know this is a self-serving request, but...
[20:14] Yuma
    Let me learn sumo...
[20:17] Yuma
    Please!
[20:22] Ozeki
    Just feeling that way is enough.
[20:24] Ozeki
    I have no reason to turn you away.
[20:27] Chihiro
    Well, ain't this a sight?
[20:30] Yuma
    Y-You! How long have you been standing there?
[20:33] Chihiro
    Your little display was very entertaining.
[20:36] Yuma
    A-Are you looking down on me?
[20:39] Kirihito
    So you've got five members now.
[20:43] Yuma
    Who are you?
[20:46] Hinomaru
    Kirihito! You also attend this school?
[20:49] Kirihito
    Yes. I came here because
    I'd heard you'd enrolled here.
[20:53] Ozeki
    Ushio, is this a friend of yours?
[20:55] Ozeki
    Have you done sumo before, then?
[20:56] Chihiro
    You're joining the club, right?
[20:58] Kirihito
    Yes, but not as a member.
[21:03] Kirihito
    It looks like you plan
    to enter a tournament,
[21:06] Kirihito
    but as you are now, you will almost
    certainly lose in the first round.
[21:10] Yuma
    What did you say?!
[21:12] Chihiro
    He doesn't know who he's talking to.
[21:14] Kirihito
    But don't worry.
[21:18] Kirihito
    I will take you to nationals.
[22:57] Funaki
    Yuma-san...
[22:58] Nishizato
    He's been acting like that a lot lately.
[23:01] Hashi
    That stray cat!
[23:02] Nishizato
    What about it?
[23:04] Hashi
    Doesn't it look like it's
    gained a lot of weight?
SIGN    Churu Churu
[23:18] Yuma
    I wonder why I feel like...
[23:21] Yuma
    ...I can't leave him on his own.
SIGN    Next Bout
    “The Kusanagi Sword”
[23:27] Funaki
    He feels guilty.
[23:29] Nishizato
    Yeah.
