**[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!*
***SIGN*** Bout 24
"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.*
**[09:55] Kuze**
*I'm right here!*
**[10:02] Kuze**

They're doing throws on each other.
**[10:14] Tennoji**
His reaction was too quick.
**[10:16] Shunkai**
*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.
**[12:54] ---**
Yes, instinct!
**[12:57] ---**
*I see.*

Go, Ushio!
**[14:37] (Flashback) ---**
I am Ushio Hinomaru.
**[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...*
**[16:48] ---**
*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?
**[22:24] ---**
The next best thing.
***SIGN*** Challenge Letter
**[22:27] ---**
Excuse me! Let me take care of something!
**[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.
**[22:58] ---**
He's not helping us train.
We're doing this for real.
**[23:01] ---**
Damn straight!
**[23:03] ---**
What's the point otherwise?
**[23:06] ---**
It's our farewell present.
**[23:07] ---**
The Dachi High sumo club's
serious style you helped create.
**[23:11] ---**
You'd better be ready!
