[00:01] Shunkai
Their second win.
[00:03] Shunkai
Eiga High is the first to get
a glimpse of the finish line.
[00:06] Shibakiyama
Odachi can't afford another loss.
[00:09] Yamatokuni
It seems the bouts are being hotly contested.
[00:13] Shunkai
Oh, you came,
[00:15] Shunkai
Yamatokuni.
[00:16] Yamatokuni
It's been a long time.
[00:18] Yamatokuni
Shunkai-san. Master Shibakiyama.
[00:21] Shibakiyama
So is the Heisei era's greatest yokozuna
here to watch his son's victory?
[00:26] Yamatokuni
That's partly why, yes, but...
[00:28] Yamatokuni
I wanted to see them with my own eyes...
[00:31] Yamatokuni
The young men who are
the future of sumo wrestling.
[00:36] Announcer
Fourth bout.
[00:37] Announcer
On the east side, Ozeki-kun.
[00:39] Ozeki
Okay.
[00:41] Announcer
On the west side, Daniel-kun.
[00:43] Daniel
Here I go.
[00:45] Guy
Oh, it's the blond sumo wrestler!
[00:47] Guy
You can do it, Daniel!
[00:49] Lady
He's got such a cute smile!
[00:52] Reina
What's going on? The crowd's gone wild.
[00:55] Hori
I believe it is partly due to there being
so few Caucasians in school sumo,
[01:01] Hori
but his performances in the
tournament is a major factor, too.
[01:04] Hori
He may not have won
the individual tournament,
[01:07] Hori
but I hear he gave a good account
of himself against Kuze-san.
[01:09] Reina
For real?
[01:11] Hori
His physique is flawless.
[01:13] Hori
Even the pros are watching
the progress of this foreigner.
[01:16] Tennoji
He's in the same boat as Bat.
[01:18] Tennoji
Foreigners can't attain
national treasure monikers,
[01:22] Tennoji
but he's pretty much on the same level.
[01:26] Hyodo
Our secret weapon from Europe.
[01:28] Hyodo
I've nicknamed him...
[01:30] Hyodo
the Holy Sword, Excalibur!
[01:33] Yomoda
Only you call him that.
[01:34] Tenma
As good as a national treasure...
[01:36] Tenma
He may be more than Ozeki can handle.
[01:40] Hinomaru
Captain, stay level-headed.
You're good at that.
[01:46] Hori
It's strange...
[01:48] Hori
Ushio-kun always stands squarely behind
[01:51] Hori
his teammate in the ring
during team tournament bouts.
[01:55] Hori
How should I put it?
[01:56] Hori
I guess I mean... it seems a kind thing to do.
[02:01] Guy
When they're next to one another,
you can see how much taller he is!
[02:04] Daniel
Now isn't the time to compare physiques.
[02:09] Daniel
Sumo is about spirit.
[02:11] Daniel
You said that before the match.
[02:14] Daniel
I think so, too.
[02:16] Daniel
Your team is small, but very strong.
[02:20] Daniel
I'm big, but I used to be very weak.
[02:24] Daniel
I came to Japan because I liked sumo.
[02:27] Ozeki
I used to be weak, too.
[02:29] Ozeki
I didn't win a single bout until last year.
[02:33] Daniel
Wow, that's seriously weak.
[02:36] Ozeki
Yeah, but...
[02:39] Ozeki
I'm stronger now.
[02:41] Daniel
So am I.
[02:43] Daniel
In that sense, we are similar.
[02:47] Ozeki
Maybe so.
[02:49] Ozeki
He's so passionate about sumo, he moved
to a different continent just to do it.
[02:54] Ozeki
I've heard sumo's getting
more popular overseas,
[02:58] Ozeki
but it still takes a lot of courage
to decide to take it up.
[03:05] Daniel
I think you love sumo the same way I do.
[03:10] Daniel
And you got stronger for the exact
same reason I did, I'm sure of it!
[03:21] Referee
Spirit!
[04:55] Referee
Spirit!
[04:57] Tenma

He's unrelenting!

[05:02] Yomoda
"Stronger now," huh?
[05:05] Yomoda
It's true. Daniel used to be weak.
[05:09] Yomoda
We had high hopes for
the exchange student,
[05:11] Yomoda
but when we saw him in action,
he was just some beefed-up sumo fanatic.
[05:16] Yomoda
For sure, he had a huge frame,
[05:19] Yomoda
but he didn't have a clue how to use it.
[05:22] Shibakiyama
That Left-Arm Clamp looks
almost exactly like yours.
[05:31] Ozeki
Everyone doing sumo wrestling right now
[05:34] Ozeki
learned about the sport
from watching Yamatokuni.
[05:39] Ozeki
Wanting to be like him
[05:41] Ozeki
was reason enough to go to
a sumo club in the next town over.
[05:48] Ozeki
Was it the same for you?
[05:50] Ozeki
Were you there on another continent,
trying to copy Yamatokuni?
[05:55] Ozeki
You're doing Yamatokuni's signature move:
the Left-Arm Clamp.
[05:59] Ozeki
But I won't let you!
[06:00] Ozeki
I won't let you seal my left arm!
[06:02] Yamatokuni
I'm sure it's less that he's copying my move
[06:05] Yamatokuni
and more that he got it from Sosuke.
[06:08] Chihiro
Hang in there, captain!
[06:10] Kirihito
Grind it out until you can grab him!
[06:14] Ozeki
Grind it out... In a battle of patience...
[06:17] Ozeki
I can beat anyone!
[06:20] Daniel
What mental strength!
[06:22] Daniel
I have no doubt that your spirit
is every bit as strong as Onimaru's!
[06:27] Ozeki
Ushio opened my eyes
[06:30] Ozeki
to the thing that makes
sumo truly enjoyable!
[06:34] (Flashback) Hinomaru
Captain.
[06:36] (Flashback) Hinomaru
Go win this.
[06:38] Ozeki
Tasting the joys of victory
[06:40] Ozeki
has made me love sumo all the more!
[06:44] Yomoda
They might really be two peas in a pod.
[06:49] Yomoda
They were both weaklings up until recently.
[06:53] Yomoda
But both of them met a person
[06:56] Yomoda
who changed them completely.
[07:00] Yomoda
They met their heroes.
[07:02] Guy
Ozeki!
[07:03] Lady
Daniel!
[07:05] Ozeki
Grind it out.
[07:06] Ozeki
Nice and steady.
[07:08] Daniel
If I can get my arm outside his,
I can overpower him!
[07:11] Daniel
I need to get my right arm on
the outside like he taught me!

[07:15] Daniel
I crossed the seas
just to do what I love.
[07:18] Daniel
I thought I could become a pro sumo wrestler.
[07:22] Daniel
But I got a cold, hard dose of reality.
[07:26] Daniel
I can't beat anyone!
[07:27] Daniel
But why? I'm bigger than everyone here...
[07:31] Daniel
Sumo... isn't fun.
[07:35] Daniel
After spending my first year
thinking like that, I met him*.
[07:39] Daniel
He was still in middle school
[07:41] Daniel
and was coming to Eiga High*
the following year,
[07:45] Daniel
but the club members at the time at least
didn't seem very welcoming.
[07:50] (Flashback) Student
They say he refuses to contest actual bouts.
[07:52] (Flashback) Student
Huh? What's up with that?
[07:55] (Flashback) Student
Does he think he's better than us?
[07:58] Daniel
I didn't know who he was.
[08:01] Daniel
But when I fought him,
I couldn't help blurting out...
[08:07] (Flashback) fb_Daniel
Y-Yamatokuni!
[08:10] Daniel
Later on, they told me who he was,
[08:13] Daniel
and instead of being shocked,
it made total sense to me.
[08:16] (Flashback) fb_Daniel
You're incredible.
[08:19] (Flashback) fb_Daniel
I'm sure sumo's a lot of fun
when you're as strong as you are.
[08:24] (Flashback) fb_Daniel
So much fun that you don't care
what other people say.
[08:27] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
Hmm...
[08:28] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
I do care about what other people say.
[08:34] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
I worry about whether my sumo
lives up to the Yamatokuni name.
[08:39] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
And worrying about that
shows that I'm weak.
[08:46] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
I need to focus my full attention on
the sumo ring and tune out what people say.
[08:53] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
To do otherwise would be rude to
my opponent and to sumo as a whole.
[08:57] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
Do you enjoy sumo?
[09:02] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
Hmm...
[09:03] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
I do like sumo.
[09:05] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
But as for whether I enjoy it...
[09:08] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
I don't know.
[09:09] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
I have nothing...
[09:11] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
except sumo.
[09:14] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
I must devote myself to it.
[09:19] Daniel
I felt like he was telling me
how naïve I was being.
[09:24] Daniel
That was the mindset of a guy
trying to make sumo his livelihood.
[09:29] Daniel
Because I was so weak, I decided
to train harder than him.
[09:33] Daniel
If he did 300 stomps, I'd do 400!
[09:39] Daniel
If that wasn't enough...
[09:41] Daniel
I'd know it was time to give up!
[09:43] (Flashback) Yomoda
Daniel. Sosuke. Starting today,
[09:47] (Flashback) Yomoda
you're training in the first-string ring.
[09:52] Daniel
And now, I enjoy sumo so much...
[09:56] Daniel
So very, very much!
[09:59] Guy
He couldn't grab him,
so he switched to strikes!
[10:01] Guy
Even at a distance, he's a beast!
[10:04] Yomoda
Your rapid improvement proves that
sumo is all about spirit.
[10:10] Yomoda
Yeah, Sosuke was on the third string
and being treated like an outcast.
[10:15] Yomoda
Daniel was the only one
who kept challenging him.
[10:21] Yomoda
Those who froze him out didn't get very far.
[10:24] Yomoda
And those who saw being able to spar with
Sosuke every day as a golden opportunity
[10:28] Yomoda
now turn out for Eiga's first string.
[10:34] Daniel
So you get struck harder
than that every day?
[10:37] Daniel
Is that what you're telling me?
[10:40] Yuma
Go, Ozeki!
[10:42] Shibakiyama
This is like a sneak preview
of Onimaru versus Kusanagi.
[10:46] Shunkai
That means he has to win.
[10:48] Ozeki
Ushio wants to beat Kuze.
[10:51] Ozeki
Which means I can't lose
to Kuze's style of sumo!
[10:57] Kirihito
Good, the captain's in position!
[10:59] Daniel
Wait for him to move forward,
then go for the outside.
[11:03] Daniel
I can reach around him!
[11:05] Daniel
I'm weak, so I'm always in fear of losing.
[11:09] Daniel
Ozeki-san, have I struck
at least a little fear in you?

Are you having fun right now?!

Your goal seems to be imitating Kuze,
[11:37] Ozeki
but me and Ushio are nothing like that!
[11:43] Ozeki
It was only once out of the hundreds
or thousands of times we sparred,
[11:46] Ozeki
but I actually beat Ushio.
[11:50] Ozeki
I was so happy, I treated myself to cake.
[11:54] Ozeki
The next day, Ushio was still pouting.
[11:57] Ozeki
And that made me happy, too.
[12:00] Ozeki
Because me and Ushio... are rivals!

and the patience that won him the bout.

to joining the pro league via entry into
the All-Japan National Championships.
[13:08] Yamatokuni
Listen to that crowd.
[13:09] Yamatokuni
Everyone already acknowledges his ability.
[13:13] Yamatokuni
Even if he doesn't make it this year,
[13:15] Yamatokuni
it's only a matter of time before he goes pro.
[13:18] Shunkai
You've got it all wrong.
[13:21] Shunkai
He doesn't just want to be a pro.
[13:24] Shunkai
He wants to be a yokozuna.
[13:27] Shunkai
He doesn't have an unlimited

How does he expect to become

residence inside him.

[15:08] Kuze
This silence engulfs us, as if we are
the only two people in the world.
[15:12] Kuze
I can forget everything else
and just do sumo.
[15:16] Hinomaru
Hey.
[15:18] Hinomaru
You don't want to hear it?
[15:20] Hinomaru
You don't want to hear these cheers?
[15:25] Hinomaru
I came here so I could
hear this sound again.

and the confidence I've rebuilt...

[16:51] Shibakiyama
He's loading up and attacking head-on!
[16:56] Hinomaru
I'm not just rushing in head-on!
[16:59] Hinomaru
I'm choosing my target
[17:00] Hinomaru
and focusing on it!
[17:02] Yomoda
That's the rising strike Tennoji used.
[17:06] Ozeki
It's working!
[17:09] Kirihito
Kuze is quick on his feet!
[17:10] Chihiro
Don't let him get away!
[17:13] Hinomaru
I know an even faster sumo wrestler!
[17:20] Shunkai
Don't underestimate him just
because he has a short reach.
[17:23] Shunkai
Once he gets in close,
Hinomaru's strikes are a powerful weapon.
[17:27] Shunkai
Having shorter arms
means he can strike faster.
[17:30] Shunkai
He even held his own against Odenta,
the most powerful striker in high school sumo.
[17:35] Tenma
If he catches you when you're off-balance,
each strike he delivers
[17:40] Tenma
hits harder than it looks.
[17:42] Hyodo
Hey, hey, hey!
[17:43] Hyodo
Kusanagi's been forced back
to the edge of the ring?!
[17:46] Hinomaru
I could never have gotten this far on my own.
[17:50] Mitsu
Go!
[17:51] Hinomaru
But my team was there for me!
[17:54] Ozeki
Push!
[17:56] Hinomaru
We've taken everything
fate could throw at us,
[17:58] Hinomaru
and overcome it all to get here,
[18:00] Hinomaru
Kuze Sosuke!
[18:08] Kuze
In just a short amount of time,
[18:10] Kuze
you have truly become strong.
[18:13] Kuze
But so have I.
[18:15] Kuze
I will beat you and join the pro league.
[18:21] Hinomaru
Kuze's every movement
is eroding my stamina...
[18:24] Hinomaru
and my spirit.
[18:27] Hinomaru
If I make the wrong move even once...
[18:30] Hinomaru
I'm dead.
[18:34] Reina
Hinomaru!
[18:36] Kirihito
Kuze never rushes or takes risks.
[18:39] Kirihito
There are no holes in his offense!
[18:42] Kirihito
Don't stop!
[18:43] Kirihito
Move off to the side to get him moving!
[18:47] Hinomaru
This rush... Is it excitement?

Or is it fear?

A yokozuna should be feared and respected.
[19:17] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
To become a yokozuna,
you must crush all in your path.
[19:22] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
To achieve that...
[19:24] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
you must cease being human.

They're in a completely

That goes for both of them!

Not sideways!

Isn't he scared?

Sure, I'm scared.
[19:50] Hinomaru
Scared of Kuze, of sumo... But even so...
[19:54] Chihiro
Another strike!
[19:55] Hinomaru
...I'll step forward.
[19:56] Hinomaru
I can see it right in front of me...
[19:58] Hinomaru
An adversary who's so close
to being a yokozuna!
[20:02] Hinomaru
A victory that I'm willing
to risk my life for!
[20:07] Ozeki
A third strike!
[20:09] Kuze
No matter how many times
I knock him back, he will not yield!
[20:12] Kuze
Yes. This is how you live.
[20:15] Kuze
Your style of sumo.
[20:20] Tenma
Hinomaru's hands are inside!

Heads together. Both hands on your belt.
[20:32] Hinomaru
I came up with this move in order to beat you!
[20:36] Hinomaru
Now, I'll keep shaking you and never stop!
[20:41] Hinomaru
This is the move I've developed to win!
[20:45] Kuze
I won't give you a chance
to start your motion.
[20:47] Kuze
I can still fight back from this position.
[20:50] Kuze
My father taught me
this right overhand grip.
[20:53] Kuze
The move that defines my destiny.
[20:55] Hinomaru
Even one...
[20:57] Kuze
...moment's hesitation...
[20:59] Both
...and I'll lose!
[22:33] Reina
The two managers were giving sumo a whirl,
[22:36] Reina
and Hinomaru saw us.
[22:37] Reina
He got an eyeful of panties, too.
[22:39] Reina
Hinomaru's been acting strange ever since.
[22:43] Hinomaru
Um... Would... you two...
[22:47] Hinomaru
N-No, never mind!
[22:50] Reina
What's gotten into him? It's like
he wants to tell us something.
[22:54] Hori
Could it be?
[22:55] Hori
Are we now the objects of his desire,
[22:58] Hori
and he wants us to quit
our roles as club managers,
[23:00] Hori
because we disrupt his concentration?
[23:02] Hori
Is that the reason?
[23:03] Reina
Where did that come from, Hori-chan?!
[23:06] Reina
Listen, you! If you've got something
to say, just come right out and say it!
[23:10] Hinomaru
Okay... if you insist.
[23:14] Hinomaru
Reina, don't overstretch!
[23:16] Hinomaru
Better!
[23:17] Hinomaru
Hori-chan, you're doing well!
[23:18] Hinomaru
She can't throw you now!
[23:20] Hinomaru
I know you said to wipe that day from my
memory, but I couldn't get it out of my head!
