    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...

    receive the name of a sword from the
    national treasures as their moniker.

    So this is it...

    Yes.
[02:17] Kirihito
    This is one of the top high schools for
    sumo wrestling: Eiga University High School.
[02:21] Ozeki
    W-We can't just jump straight
    into practice bouts against Eiga!
[02:25] Kirihito
    It's already been arranged.

[02:54] Kei
    We're really having practice bouts here?!
[02:56] Kirihito
    Of course we are. If we want to
    make it to the national tournament,
[03:00] Kirihito
    a weak school like ours must test itself
    against a nationally-ranked school.
[03:04] Ozeki
    He was serious about going
    to nationals, after all?
[03:09] (Flashback) Kirihito
    It looks like you plan
    to enter a tournament,
[03:12] (Flashback) Kirihito
    but as you are now, you will almost
    certainly lose in the first round.
[03:16] (Flashback) Yuma
    What did you say?!
[03:17] (Flashback) Chihiro
    He doesn't know who he's talking to.
[03:20] (Flashback) Kirihito
    But don't worry.
[03:23] (Flashback) Kirihito
    I will take you to nationals.
[03:28] (Flashback) Yuma
    Who are you to talk to us like that?
[03:30] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Gojo Yuma. Third-year.
[03:32] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Accomplished at karate.
    Winner of the Kanto Tournament.
[03:36] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Kunisaki Chihiro. Second-year.
[03:38] (Flashback) Kirihito
    National wrestling champion.
[03:39] (Flashback) Chihiro
    Yeah! I guess everybody's heard of me!
[03:42] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Ozeki Shinya. Third-year. Club captain.
[03:45] (Flashback) Kirihito
    No experience of official bouts,
[03:48] (Flashback) Kirihito
    but has a honed physique, thanks
    to a quiet dedication to training.
[03:52] (Flashback) Ozeki
    Y-You learned all about us?
[03:56] (Flashback) Kei
    U-Um, I'm Mitsuhashi Kei. I'm a first-year.
[03:59] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Have you ever played a sport before?
[04:01] (Flashback) Kei
    I know it's not much,
    but I've played flute since I was six!
[04:10] (Flashback) Kirihito
    And Ushio Hinomaru.
[04:12] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    Kirihito, what are you doing here?
[04:15] (Flashback) Ozeki
    Ushio, is this a friend of yours?
[04:17] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Tsuji Kirihito. First-year.
[04:19] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Starting today, I will be supervising
    the Odachi High School sumo club.
[04:24] (Flashback) Yuma
    And who made you boss?
[04:26] (Flashback) Yuma
    Do you even know the first thing about sumo?
[04:29] (Flashback) Yuma
    I'm not taking orders from no beginner!
[04:32] (Flashback) Chihiro
    Hey, dude, you're a beginner, yourself.
[04:34] (Flashback) Kei
    Um, I've never heard of a student
    being a club supervisor before...
[04:38] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    You left out the most important
    bit of info again, Kirihito.
[04:41] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    You're always doing that.
[04:43] (Flashback) Ozeki
    H-How do you two know each other?
[04:45] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    In elementary school,
[04:47] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    Kirihito and I did sumo at the same dojo.
[04:52] (Flashback) Ozeki
    So you do sumo too, Tsuji?
[05:02] (Flashback) Kirihito
    No, I...
[05:04] (Flashback) Yuma
    Oh, so you just talk big.
[05:06] (Flashback) Kirihito
    I guarantee that Dachi High
    will make it to nationals.
[05:11] (Flashback) Kirihito
    To that end, we're having practice bouts
    with Eiga University High School next week.
[05:17] (Flashback) Ozeki
    E-Eiga High?!
[05:19] (Flashback) Yuma
    Are they strong?
[05:20] (Flashback) Ozeki
    Th-They're more than just strong.
[05:23] (Flashback) Ozeki
    They're the toughest school
    in the Kanto region.
[05:25] (Flashback) Ozeki
    They finished second in
    the inter-high last year.
[05:28] (Flashback) Ozeki
    They're a major powerhouse!
[05:31] (Flashback) Yuma
    For real?
[05:32] (Flashback) Chihiro
    Sounds like it'll be a riot.
[05:34] (Flashback) Kei
    U-Um...
[05:36] (Flashback) Kei
    I d-don't need to compete, do I?
[05:38] (Flashback) Kirihito
    A team must consist of five wrestlers.
[05:41] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Which means you have to.
[05:43] (Flashback) Kei
    B-But...
[05:47] Kei
    I've only... been doing sumo for a week.
[05:51] Reina
    And anyway!
[05:52] Reina
    Why are you making Yuma
    carry so much stuff?!
[05:56] Ozeki

[06:10] Reina
    W-Well...
[06:12] Chihiro
    Because she's into her brother, duh.
[06:14] ---
    Why, you!
[06:15] Yuma
    A-And why are you setting everything up?
[06:17] Yuma
    I never agreed to letting you
    be our club supervisor!
[06:21] Kirihito
    Yomoda-san.
[06:23] Yomoda
    Oh, we've been expecting you.
[06:25] Kirihito
    This is their captain, Yomoda-san.
[06:28] Kirihito
    Thanks for having us.
[06:30] Yomoda
    Thanks for coming.
[06:33] Yomoda
    Ah, this guy...
[06:36] Kei
    He seems pretty nice.
[06:38] Ozeki
    Huh? Oh, yeah...
[06:40] Kei
    I was worried about what kind of people
    you'd get at a sumo powerhouse.
[06:48] Reina
    Y-Yuma's... in his u-underwear!
[06:52] Ozeki
    Reina-san, it's not underwear.
    We're wearing mawashi belts.
[06:55] Reina
    Why are you doing sumo, anyway?!
[06:57] Reina
    I can't stand to see you
    embarrassed like this!
[07:00] Yuma
    Then, go home.
[07:02] Reina
    No! Not unless you come with me!
[07:04] Yuma
    Do what you like.
[07:05] Kirihito
    Okay, start warming up.
[07:06] Kei
    Wait...
[07:08] Ozeki
    Are these guys really high schoolers?
[07:10] Kei
    They're not nice at all!
[07:12] Chihiro
    They've all got seriously impressive bods.
[07:16] Hinomaru
    Yeah. That's a powerhouse for you!

    I've never heard of Odachi High School.

    Who's the little guy? A grade schooler?

    Dammit!
[08:30] Hinomaru
    Was that...
[08:35] Hinomaru
    So he's at Eiga High!
[08:37] Hinomaru
    It's been ages! I'll go say hi to him.
[08:42] Kei
    I'm sorry.
[08:45] Ozeki
    Mitsuhashi-kun...
[08:49] Chihiro
    I'll just have to go and win, then.
[08:51] Chihiro
    Here comes my grand debut
    to the world of sumo!

[09:00] Sumo wrestler
    What kind of move was that?

    Is he a wrestler?

[09:11] Ozeki
    W-Wow.
[09:12] Yuma
    He's strong.
[09:15] Chihiro
    Yes! High five! High five!
[09:19] Yuma
    Shut up! You're in the way!
[09:21] Ozeki
    M-More importantly, it's Ushio's turn now.
[09:24] Ozeki
    We're counting on you, Ushio—
[09:26] Ozeki
    Huh?
[09:28] Ozeki
    Ushio? Where are you, Ushio?!
[09:45] Kariya
    Sosuke.
[09:47] Kariya
    Sosuke!
[09:53] Kuze
    What is it, Shun?
[09:56] Kariya
    Hinomaru's here.
[09:59] Daniel
    Hinomaru? Who's that?
[10:02] Kariya
    Let's go, Sosuke.
[10:04] Kariya
    We're having practice bouts.
[10:05] Kuze
    Shun.
[10:07] Kuze
    You realize I'm not taking part, right?
[10:10] Kariya
    Sosuke!
[10:12] Kuze
    I'm going home for the day.
[10:14] Kariya
    H-Hey!
[10:18] Kuze
    Oh, excuse me.
[10:19] Hinomaru
    My fault. I wasn't looking where I was going.

    You go to this school?

    National treasure: Kusanagi Sword.
[10:48] (Flashback) Yomoda
    Odachi High School?
[10:50] (Flashback) Yomoda
    Never heard of it.
[10:52] (Flashback) Kirihito
    They haven't been in
    any official matches yet.
[10:56] (Flashback) Kirihito
    But this team is going to make it
    to the national tournament.
[10:59] (Flashback) Yomoda
    Well, we could, but...
[11:01] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Practice bouts would benefit Eiga High, too.
[11:06] (Flashback) Yomoda
    How, exactly?
[11:08] (Flashback) Kirihito
    National treasure: Onimaru Kunitsuna.
[11:12] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Ushio Hinomaru is on our team.
[11:15] (Flashback) Yomoda
    The elementary school yokozuna?
[11:17] (Flashback) Yomoda
    I heard he didn't grow in middle
    school and quit sumo for good.
[11:21] (Flashback) Kirihito
    He hasn't quit.
[11:22] (Flashback) Kirihito
    And he's a lot stronger now.
[11:26] (Flashback) Kirihito
    He's on his way to being
    a high school yokozuna...
[11:28] (Flashback) Kirihito
    No, a professional yokozuna.
[11:33] (Flashback) Kirihito
    If anyone can motivate
    your guy, it's Hinomaru.
[11:37] (Flashback) Kirihito
    The slumbering national treasure,
    the Kusanagi Sword:
[11:40] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Kuze Sosuke.
[11:44] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Some say Eiga High's team
    has no star wrestler this year.
[11:49] (Flashback) Kirihito
    To win the inter-high this time around,
    you're going to need Kuze.
[12:01] Daniel
    Who's that?
[12:03] Kariya
    Sosuke faced Hinomaru in the
    elementary school tournament.
[12:07] Hinomaru
    So you still refuse to compete in bouts?
[12:10] Kuze
    Right.
[12:13] (Flashback) Guy
    What do we have here? So that's
     Yokozuna Yamatokuni's son, huh?
[12:17] (Flashback) Guy
    He's got a strong body.
[12:19] (Flashback) Guy
    But I've heard the other
    one is strong, too.
[12:24] (Flashback) Referee
    Spirit!
[12:36] (Flashback) Referee
    Bring a stretcher!
[12:38] (Flashback) Referee
    Quickly!
[12:42] (Flashback) Mom
    No bouts at all?
[12:45] (Flashback) Mom
    But lots of kids get hurt doing sumo.
[12:47] (Flashback) Mom
    He just needs to learn restraint.
[12:50] (Flashback) Yamato
    Our son is indeed exceptional.
[12:53] (Flashback) Yamato
    But if his prodigious talent means we must
    teach him to show restraint in the ring,
[12:57] (Flashback) Yamato
    I'd rather he never has
    another bout as a student.
[13:03] Hinomaru
    Hey, Kuze!
[13:05] Hinomaru
    How long are you going to let your
    father's words hold you back?
[13:10] Hinomaru
    I was an elementary school yokozuna.
[13:12] Hinomaru
    But I've always felt like I've never
    faced a truly strong opponent.
[13:18] Hinomaru
    Kusanagi Sword! Fight me!
[13:24] Kuze
    I cannot defy my father.
[13:30] Kariya
    Fight me, Hinomaru!
[13:33] Kuze
    Shun.
[13:34] Kariya
    Sosuke, don't you feel insulted
    by what he just said?
[13:40] Kariya
    Tch. Fine. I'll show you a fight
    that will restore your courage.
[13:50] Reina
    Who's that guy? He's teensy-weensy.
[13:52] Chihiro
    He's no taller than Hotaru here.
[13:54] Kei
    It's Kei. My name's Mitsuhashi Kei.
[13:57] Ozeki
    But if he's in Eiga High's sumo club,
    that means he's no regular high schooler.
[14:02] Kirihito
    Correct. He's Kariya Shun, a first-year.
[14:06] Kirihito
    He was the middle school
    lightweight champion.
[14:09] Yuma
    Lightweight?
[14:11] Yuma
    Does sumo even have weight classes?
[14:13] Ozeki
    There are a lot of amateur
    sumo tournaments that do.
[14:17] Ozeki
    But the inter-high and the pro league
    Hinomaru wants to compete in are openweight.
[14:23] Kei
    Does that mean smaller guys have
    no chance in openweight bouts?
[14:26] Kirihito
    No, even in openweight, Kariya Shun made it
    to the national quarterfinals last year.
[14:34] Kirihito
    He was also hindered by his
    small stature in middle school.
[14:39] Kirihito
    But unlike Hinomaru, he was
    able to taste success sooner
[14:42] Kirihito
    because he responded differently
    to their mutual stumbling block.
[14:48] Kirihito
    For Hinomaru, who has focused on facing
    large, powerful sumo wrestlers,
[14:51] Kirihito
    Kariya is a difficult opponent.
[14:54] Kariya
    Ushio Hinomaru...
[15:01] Kariya
    Your yokozuna-style sumo...
[15:03] Kariya
    I admired it.
[15:05] Kariya
    You attacked head-on and forced
    your opponent into submission.
[15:10] Kariya
    I abandoned that style in order to win!
[15:18] Referee
    Spirit!
[15:21] Ozeki
    He's low!
[15:22] Chihiro
    He's going in low on Hinomaru!
[15:24] Kirihito
    That's what he did when he
    won the lightweight class.
[15:27] Kirihito
    He intends to use that style
    to conquer all before him.
[15:31] Kirihito
    He's determined.
[15:35] Sumo wrestler
    He pushed him back up!
[15:49] Ozeki
    Wow! He's surging forward so that Hinomaru
    can't get a hold of his mawashi belt.
[16:03] Sumo wrestler
    Hinomaru picked him up!
[16:05] Kariya
    Now!
[16:07] Kariya
    The moment he arches his back
    and extends his knees...
[16:10] Kariya
    ...I'll cut him down!
