[00:03] Hinomaru
    Not sideways!
[00:05] Hinomaru
    Forward!
[00:08] Chihiro
    Another strike!
[00:09] Hinomaru
    I can see it right in front of me...
[00:11] Hinomaru
    An adversary who's so close
    to being a yokozuna!
[00:14] Hinomaru
    A victory that I'm willing
    to risk my life for!
[00:24] Hinomaru
    Heads together. Both hands on your belt.
[00:28] Hinomaru
    This is the move I've developed to win!
[00:32] Kuze
    I won't give you a chance
    to start your motion.
[00:34] Kuze
    I can still fight back from this position.
[00:37] Kuze
    My father taught me
    this right overhand grip.
[00:40] Kuze
    The move that defines my destiny.
[00:42] Hinomaru
    Even one...
[00:44] Kuze
    ...moment's hesitation...
[00:46] Both
    ...and I'll lose!

    "The Dream Continues"
[02:33] Shibakiyama
    They're evenly matched.
[02:35] Tennoji
    Neither can move.
[02:40] Kuze
    My father once told me
[02:42] Kuze
    that yokozunas are solitary.
[02:45] Kuze
    There is no one ahead of them,
    and no signs to guide them.
[02:49] Kuze
    Each can only rely on himself.
[02:53] Announcer
    And he's forced out!
[02:55] ---
    The yokozuna has been defeated!
[02:57] Announcer
    Kaoruyama scores a major upset
    by forcing out his opponent!
[03:01] (Flashback) Mom
    Your father lost.
[03:04] Kuze
    Whether he won or lost,
    my father never showed emotion,
[03:09] Kuze
    but I was unnerved by the
    bloodlust I sensed from him.
[03:13] Kuze
    I strove to be a good child so I wouldn't
    interfere with his competitions.
SIGN    Yamatokuni
[03:20] Kuze
    My father never encouraged or
    discouraged me from doing sumo.
[03:26] Kuze
    Perhaps I followed in his footsteps
    to show the respect I had for him.
[03:32] Kuze
    I prepared myself for it.
[03:35] Kuze
    I had seen him fight on, even when
    he was battered and beaten.
[03:39] Kuze
    I knew other people treated me differently
    as the son of a great yokozuna.
[03:44] Kuze
    I knew I had to uphold
    the honor of his name.
[03:47] Kuze
    It was my duty to become a
    great yokozuna like my father.
[03:51] Kuze
    I had to become strong.
[03:53] Kuze
    Single-mindedly chasing that far-off goal,
[03:56] Kuze
    I never thought of sumo as fun.
[04:03] (Flashback) fb_Kuze
    Are you okay?
[04:09] (Flashback) Guy
    That boy's incredible.
[04:11] (Flashback) Guy
    More stoic than any of the others.
[04:13] (Flashback) Guy
    It must be that yokozuna blood in him.
[04:15] (Flashback) Guy
    He's not the same as us.
[04:17] (Flashback) Guy
    I'm jealous.
[04:19] Kuze
    Yes, this is the solitude
    my father spoke of.
[04:23] Kuze
    Then I must be following the right path.
[04:26] Kuze
    Even if no one else understands,
[04:28] Kuze
    even if I must go it alone,
[04:31] Kuze
    I'll find the state of
    yokozuna my father attained.
[04:37] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
    Those who run ahead of others
[04:40] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
    are solitary.
[04:42] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
    But look beside you.
[04:43] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
    You have others with you.
[04:45] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
    Rivals sharing the same determination
[04:49] (Flashback) Yamatokuni
    to reach that solitary state.
[04:57] Kuze
    Ushio-kun, I'm grateful to you.
[05:01] Kuze
    I decided to fight you
    of my own will that day.
[05:05] Kuze
    Your soul was burning,
    screaming to make itself known.
[05:09] Kuze
    We fought at full strength.
[05:11] Kuze
    At that moment...
[05:14] Kuze
    and even now...
[05:18] Mom
    He's...
[05:20] Mom
    smiling?
[05:22] Guy
    Are you okay, ma'am?
[05:24] Mom
    Yes, I'm fine.
[05:26] Mom
    I mustn't look away.
[05:28] Mom
    I'm fine!
[05:29] Mom
    I've been the wife of a great
    yokozuna for many years.
[05:33] Mom
    As his mother, I have to see
    how much my son has grown.
[05:37] Gran
    Fight, Hinomaru!
[05:40] Gran
    Your mother's watching!
[05:49] Tennoji
    If they just maintain their grips,
[05:52] Tennoji
    the difference in size will
    wear Onimaru down faster.
[05:54] Kano
    He's tired from his semifinal bout,
    and his left arm is injured, too.
[05:58] Kano
    A long bout hurts his chances,
    but he doesn't have an opening.
[06:02] Hinomaru
    This is tough...
[06:03] Hinomaru
    His strength is incredible.
[06:04] Hinomaru
    It hurts, and it's hard to breathe.
[06:07] Hinomaru
    I need to do something.
[06:14] Mom
    Why are you doing sumo?
[06:18] (Flashback) Gran
    He lost again.
[06:20] (Flashback) Gran
    He did so well in elementary school.
[06:24] (Flashback) Mom
    It's because he's so small.
[06:27] (Flashback) Mom
    He's a good boy, so I'm sure
    he doesn't want to think it...
[06:31] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm sorry your late father and I are so small.
[06:38] (Flashback) Mom
    I'm sorry I couldn't give you a bigger body.
[06:46] Hinomaru
    Winning at sumo felt good.
[06:49] Hinomaru
    My mom enjoyed seeing me win, too.
    She praised me when I did.
[06:52] Hinomaru
    It made me happy.
[06:54] Hinomaru
    She acted so brave in front of me,
    so I wanted to please her even more.
[07:02] Hinomaru
    It's all for my mother...
[07:04] Hinomaru
    Even though she's gone.
[07:09] Mom
    No, try to remember.
[07:14] Mom
    Why are you doing sumo, Hinomaru?
[07:18] Announcer
    From the east side, Yokozuna Yamatokuni
    is entering the sumo ring.
[07:23] (Flashback) All
    Yokozuna!
[07:25] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Did you want to be like Yamatokuni, too?
[07:28] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Everyone here did.
[07:30] (Flashback) Kirihito
    We started sumo so we could be like him.
[07:33] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    No, it's not quite like that.
[07:44] Kirihito
    Hinomaru, here it comes!
[07:51] Kuze
    Great Serpent Cleaver!
[08:04] Hinomaru
    It's not just for one reason that I'm here.
[08:09] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    No, it's not quite like that.
[08:12] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    I'm thinking of how much fun it'd be
    to throw a huge yokozuna like that.
[08:18] Hinomaru
    My initial motivation...
[08:21] Hinomaru
    My feeling of loss...
[08:23] Hinomaru
    The expectations and my obligations...
[08:25] Hinomaru
    The time I've spent with my team...
[08:27] Hinomaru
    and for the sake of my mother, too!
[08:31] Sado
    He's burning up.
[08:32] Hinomaru
    I love sumo! That's why I'm here!
[08:37] Kirihito
    Hinomaru is smiling in a bout.
[08:54] Shibakiyama
    There!
[08:58] Shibakiyama
    Close the gap,
[08:59] Shibakiyama
    then when his upper body is extended,
    come up from beneath!
[09:07] All
    Push!
[09:13] Shibakiyama
    Yes, yes!
[09:15] Shunkai
    It's something that can only
    happen with no weight classes.
[09:20] Shunkai
    The smaller contender rises up
    and thrills the spectators!
[09:27] Shibakiyama
    He pulled back?
    He's at the edge of the ring!
[09:29] Yamatokuni
    A spirit that cannot be contained
    in his small body...
[09:32] Yamatokuni
    A national treasure, the future of sumo.
[09:36] Yamatokuni
    But Sosuke is no different.
[09:41] Yamatokuni
    Seeing size and speed
[09:43] Yamatokuni
    and overwhelming physical energy
[09:46] Yamatokuni
    is part of the appeal of sumo.
[09:48] Sado
    Kuze's using a left underarm grip.
[09:50] Kuze
    This isn't all.
[09:51] Kuze
    The sumo my father and I
    share is more than this.

    He was expecting that.
[10:18] Hinomaru
    I figured you'd counter.
[10:21] Hinomaru
    I believed in your strength!
[10:48] Reina
    Hori-chan, thank you.
[10:51] Reina
    I probably wouldn't be here
    if it weren't for you.
[10:56] Reina
    I didn't know anything about sumo.
[11:00] Reina
    I didn't know anything and made fun of it.
[11:06] Reina
    But...
[11:07] Reina
    When I'm this close...
[11:09] Reina
    Every time those carefully
    sculpted bodies crash,
[11:12] Reina
    they make an incredible sound.
[11:15] Reina
    In a single moment,
    they use countless maneuvers.
[11:19] Reina
    I thought it was embarrassing
    that they wore only belts,
[11:22] Reina
    but I'm starting to see
    how aesthetic it is.
[11:26] Reina
    And the more I learn about
    sumo, the more I understand
[11:29] Reina
    how strong he is!
[11:32] Reina
    Now matter how many times he's knocked
    back, he still rises up again.
[11:36] Reina
    It captivates the crowd's eyes and hearts!
[11:41] Reina
    This is love.
[11:45] Reina
    Love for Hinomaru's sumo.
[11:50] Kuze
    Am I... going to lose?
[12:03] Kuze
    I don't want to lose!
[12:04] Kuze
    I need to stop him.
[12:09] Shibakiyama
    Shake him!
[12:12] Kuze
    I'm fighting a serious...
[12:15] Kuze
    sumo bout!
[12:19] Kuze
    I feel how close death is.
[12:21] Kuze
    It's incredible.
[12:24] Kuze
    My limits are finally being tested.
[12:27] Kuze
    For me to beat him now...
[12:32] Kuze
    I can't simply imitate my father.
[12:35] Kuze
    I must surpass Yamatokuni!
[12:39] Kuze
    I must surpass a god!
[12:42] Kirihito
    He's pulling him down!
[12:43] Chihiro
    Stay strong!
[12:49] ---
    There is no thought to his movements.
[12:52] ---
    This is something that cannot
    be taught in a training hall.

[14:39] (Flashback) ---
    In order to reach yokozuna,
[14:42] (Flashback) ---
    I must become the strongest
    high school sumo wrestler!
[15:03] ---
    East side wins!
[15:13] ---
    Listen to that cheering.
[15:15] ---
    Yeah, and even I can see...
[15:18] ---
    the cascading cushions.
[15:41] ---
    I'm glad that he was
[15:43] ---
    the one who defeated my son.
[15:45] ---
    He had to experience defeat someday.
[15:49] ---
    Now I can see
[15:51] ---
    what he'll do next at the same time.
[16:01] ---
    Let's go.
[16:08] ---
    You did it, Hinomaru.
[16:10] ---
    I'm sure your mother hears the applause, too.
[16:15] ---
    I couldn't have made it here alone.
[16:20] ---
    I've been blessed with strong
    opponents who tested me.
[16:26] ---
    And...
[16:28] ---
    My teammates supported me.
[16:32] (Flashback) ---
    When your dream comes true...
[16:35] (Flashback) ---
    I may not be with you, but I'll be watching.
[16:39] (Flashback) ---
    I'll be watching from the clouds.
[16:43] ---
    My dream hasn't come true yet.
[16:46] ---
    But...

    Sumo...
[16:52] ---
    Battles waged since ancient times in Japan.
[16:55] ---
    Bow.
[16:56] ---
    It is one of the few combat sports
    without weight classes.
[16:59] ---
    Thus, larger and heavier student sumo
    wrestlers have a distinct advantage.
[17:04] ---
    Among those giants, there was one
    who desired to become a yokozuna.
[17:10] ---
    His body was small, sturdy, and...
[17:14] ---
    East side wins!
[17:17] ---
    ...dignified.
[17:20] ---
    The match is over.
    Odachi High School wins 3-2.
[17:29] ---
    Congratulations, guys!
[17:31] ---
    I'm crying because you cried!
[17:33] ---
    Thanks for cheering for me.
[17:35] ---
    Yuma, you're the best in Japan, too!
[17:38] ---
    Yeah.
[17:41] ---
    This was a one-man sumo club...
[17:44] ---
    But now, it's the strongest team of all!
[17:47] ---
    Sumo...
[17:49] ---
    Thank...
[17:53] ---
    Guys, thank you so much!
[17:59] ---
    I see... They won't compete
    as a team anymore.
[18:04] ---
    Now we wait to see if Hinomaru qualified
    for the All-Japan National Championships.
[18:08] ---
    Yeah.
[18:09] ---
    Not to worry.
[18:11] ---
    Master.
[18:12] ---
    He did his part. There's no way they won't
    take him after all that cheering. Right?
[18:18] ---
    Master Yamatokuni!
[18:21] ---
    It's been three years, I believe.
[18:25] ---
    You remembered me.
[18:29] ---
    "Practice for three years from now."
[18:31] ---
    Those words supported me and
    allowed me to endure until today.
[18:35] ---
    Thank you.
[18:37] ---
    That match...
[18:39] ---
    Your team showed us the future of sumo.
[18:43] ---
    The pro league will be waiting for you.
[18:47] ---
    For the future of sumo,
    using that same diligence,
[18:51] ---
    practice for three years from
    now, Ushio Hinomaru-kun.
[18:58] ---
    Don't go saying you'll stay at Eiga High
     because we lost the team tournament, Sosuke.
[19:02] ---
    We'll still win next year.
[19:05] ---
    You keep moving forward.
[19:11] ---
    This disappointment...
[19:14] ---
    It may be something I can only
    experience in grade-level sumo.
[19:19] ---
    It's odd to say after I've lost, but...
[19:23] ---
    I'm glad I came to Eiga High.
[19:26] ---
    I see!
[19:28] ---
    The National High School Sumo
    Team Tournament champions...
[19:33] ---
    Odachi High School from Chiba!
[19:41] ---
    Thank you for your support!
[20:09] ---
    Ushio-kun competed in the All-Japan
    National Championships.
[20:13] ---
    He lost to Tennoji-san in the
    semifinal and took third place.
[20:18] ---
    Tennoji-san was the champion.
[20:20] ---
    He earned the right to become
    a fifteenth-ranked makushita.
[20:25] ---
    Your left arm wasn't at full strength.
[20:29] ---
    That makes us 2-1. I'm leading.
[20:32] ---
    Still, we'll be trading wins
    and losses from now on.
[20:36] ---
    For now, I'm a makushita...
[20:38] ---
    And you're a sandanme. Congratulations.
[20:43] ---
    Glad to have you.
[20:44] ---
    Yeah.
[20:46] ---
    After the Inter-High,
    Kuze-kun entered the pro league.
[20:51] ---
    He joined in time for the
    September tournament.
[20:55] ---
    You're just a sandanme,
    but your size doesn't matter.
[20:59] ---
    The door to your dream has opened.
[21:02] ---
    Welcome to the pro league, Hinomaru.
[21:05] ---
    Thank you.
[21:07] ---
    But he only earned his place for one year.
[21:11] ---
    In order to keep it,
    Ushio-kun had to drop out of high school.
[21:16] ---
    That meant saying goodbye to the
    Odachi High School sumo club.
[21:23] ---
    Oh, Ushio-kun is a splendid student!
[21:27] ---
    Our school will continue to cheer him on!
[21:31] ---
    I'll do my best.
[21:35] ---
    I'll bet you're tired.
[21:37] ---
    It'll take time to get used
    to this type of thing.
[21:40] ---
    It's even worse once
    you're in the pro league.
[21:44] ---
    Especially for you, since your
    height makes you stand out.
[21:47] ---
    Yes, sir. I understand.
[21:49] ---
    Also that the attention can be fleeting.
[21:53] ---
    It's been so dizzying up to today.
[21:57] ---
    The captain and Yuma are studying for exams.
[21:59] ---
    The others are busy with
    training and other things.
[22:03] ---
    It's a shame I wasn't able
    to say a proper goodbye.
[22:10] ---
    But it's okay!
[22:11] ---
    I'll tell them by performing
    well in the pro league!
[22:15] ---
    Okay, let's go!
[22:20] ---
    What's that? A love letter?

    The next best thing.

[22:38] ---
    It's the captain's sumo ring
    that was destroyed!
[22:41] ---
    Ozeki explained how to make it.
[22:44] ---
    It was still a pain, though.
[22:46] ---
    It was a regret of mine for so long,
    but I'm glad it's here now.
[22:52] ---
    Help me train before you go gallivanting off!
[22:56] ---
    That's not right.

    He's not helping us train.

[23:11] ---

[23:16] ---
    Farewell sumo, huh? You must be crazy,
    as cold as it is out here.
