**[00:02] Hinomaru**
Kirihito's being clever again.
**[00:05] Hinomaru**
Here...
***SIGN*** Shibakiyama
Stable
**[00:06] Hinomaru**
They produce top-ranked pros.
It's renowned for its intense practices.
**[00:09] Hinomaru**
The Shibakiyama Stable!
**[00:16] Hinomaru**
They're part of the pro sumo world,
which I want to conquer!
**[00:19] Hinomaru**
I'll gladly take their help!
***SIGN*** Bout 6
"Charge!! Shibakiyama Stable"
**[01:53] Guy**
Out! Keep things moving!
**[01:59] Saki**
*It's so intense...*
**[02:01] Shibakiyama**
Now! Push, push!
**[02:03] Saki**
* Master Shibakiyama is still as sharp-eyed*
* and intimidating as he was when he competed.*
**[02:10] Shibakiyama**
Oh, very nice! Good strike!
**[02:12] Shibakiyama**
Just keep your chin a bit lower!
**[02:15] Saki**
*He's nicer than I expected.*
**[02:16] Shibakiyama**
Saki-chan, thank you for
coming all the way to watch us.
**[02:20] Saki**
Th-The pleasure's all mine.
I'm looking forward to the next two days.
**[02:24] Guy**
He's awfully upbeat today.
**[02:27] Guy**
M-Maybe it's because there's
a high school girl in here.
**[02:30] Guy**
That's part of it,
**[02:32] Guy**
but another student's also
having a trial with us today.
**[02:35] Guy**
Some high school hotshot, apparently.
**[02:38] Guy**
A high school hotshot?
**[02:40] Shibakiyama**
*When will he get here?*
**[02:43] (Flashback) Kirihito**
I can vouch for his skill.
**[02:44] (Flashback) Kirihito**
He will one day be the top-ranked
pro sumo wrestler. You can count on it.
**[02:48] Shibakiyama**
*A future sekitori...*
**[02:50] Shibakiyama**
*I want him for my stable!*
**[02:52] Terahara**
Master, he's coming this way!
**[02:55] Shibakiyama**
He's here!
**[03:00] Hinomaru**
Sorry I'm late!
**[03:01] Hinomaru**
I got lost on the way.
**[03:03] Hinomaru**
Thank you for letting me train here today!
**[03:09] Shibakiyama**
You must be his assistant, right?
**[03:11] Shibakiyama**
Come, now. Where's Ushio-kun?
**[03:14] Hinomaru**
Huh? Well... *I'm* Ushio Hinomaru
of the Odachi High School sumo club.
**[03:19] Saki**
"Ushio Hinomaru"?
**[03:20] Shibakiyama**
Th-This *can't* be right!
**[03:23] Shibakiyama**
I m-mean... how tall are you?
**[03:27] Hinomaru**
Oh, 152 cm, sir.
**[03:29] Shibakiyama**
O-Only 152 cm?!
**[03:32] Shibakiyama**
I see...
**[03:33] Guy**
Master's looking mighty glum all of a sudden.
**[03:36] Guy**
Can you blame him?
**[03:37] Guy**
But the kid's here now.
**[03:39] Guy**
Let's just humor him for today.
**[03:44] Terahara**
You've got great footwork.
**[03:46] Terahara**
Ushio-kun, was it?
**[03:48] Terahara**
I'm Terahara.
**[03:49] Terahara**
I was a high school sumo
myself until recently.
**[03:52] Terahara**
As your predecessor,
I'll practice with you today.
**[03:54] Terahara**
Don't hold back, you hear?
**[03:56] Hinomaru**
Yes, sir!
**[04:00] Hinomaru**
*I'm still feeling a little stiff.*
**[04:02] Hinomaru**
*Am I nervous?*
**[04:09] Saki**
* Is it my imagination, or has the mood*
* lightened since Ushio-kun showed up?*
**[04:15] Terahara**
Jeez, I know we're just sparring,
but these guys sure are taking it easy.
**[04:19] Guy**
It's all for the spectators, man.
**[04:21] Guy**
Well, he's a fan of sumo, so we might as
well let him enjoy himself until he leaves.
**[04:26] Guy**
You should be warmed up by now, yeah?
**[04:28] Guy**
Let's step into the ring.
**[04:29] Hinomaru**
Yes, sir!
**[04:30] Guy**
Oh, before all that, wanna do something fun?

**[04:57] Guy**
Good luck, Ushio-kun!
**[04:59] Terahara**
*Ah, I'll let you win in the end...*
**[05:02] Terahara**
* I'll step out of the ring after*

**[05:10] Shibakiyama**
Tera-chan.
**[05:12] Shibakiyama**
You should probably take this seriously.
**[05:17] Terahara**
Yes, sir.
**[05:19] Hinomaru**
Here I come.
**[05:26] Guy**
No way...
**[05:33] Hinomaru**
Even though I'd love some
Shibakiyama Stable merch,
**[05:37] Hinomaru**
my team needs me to bring
back more than just souvenirs.
**[05:42] Hinomaru**
Please let me experience
a full-blown Shibakiyama session!
***SIGN*** Ishigami
High
School
Sumo
Club
**[05:50] Kei**
Hinomaru-san must be practicing
with the pros right about now.
**[05:54] Kei**
Isn't that amazing?
**[05:55] Yuma**
At the Shibakiyama Stable, was it?
**[05:57] Ozeki**
Yeah.
**[05:58] Ozeki**
Say, why did you choose
the Shibakiyama Stable?
**[06:01] Kirihito**
Even among the pros, they're known
as a training-heavy stable.
**[06:03] Kirihito**
Before he retired from the sport, the
master was famous for his love of training.
**[06:09] Kirihito**
He wasn't blessed with a godlike physique.
**[06:12] Kirihito**
His fearsome attacks, booming and relentless,
earned him the moniker of "Firecracker."
**[06:16] Kirihito**
He even gave yokozuna Yamatokuni
a great deal of trouble in his prime.
***SIGN*** Kunzan
**[06:21] Kirihito**
Even with his small stature,
he preferred to fight head-on.
***SIGN*** Yamatokuni
**[06:24] Kirihito**
Throughout his career,
he never changed how he charged.
**[06:27] Kirihito**
Does that sound like someone you know?
***SIGN*** Yamatokuni
**[06:31] Kirihito**
I want to know what the master thinks
when he sees how Hinomaru fights.
**[06:35] Kirihito**
And then, there's this other sumo
at the Shibakiyama Stable...
**[06:43] Shibakiyama**
* This stable's known for intense training,*
* but I used to do far more in my prime.*
**[06:48] Shibakiyama**
* Even so, plenty complained*
* about the regimen and left.*
**[06:51] Shibakiyama**
* I thought you were like those other boys*
* who didn't have the commitment.*
**[07:01] Shibakiyama**
* I must apologize for my rudeness,*
* Ushio Hinomaru.*
**[07:07] Shibakiyama**
* The pro league won't accept*
* someone of your height,*
**[07:09] Shibakiyama**
* but Sandanme-division wrestlers*
* can't even come close to beating you.*
**[07:13] Guy**
He's too much for you guys.
**[07:14] Guy**
Stand back.
**[07:17] Shibakiyama**
* You sometimes show cracks*
* when you grab a mawashi belt.*
**[07:20] Shibakiyama**
*Is that a setup for something?*
**[07:22] Shibakiyama**
* No, more importantly,*
* and most importantly of all...*
**[07:24] Hinomaru**
One more time!
**[07:26] Shibakiyama**
*What is that gleam in your eyes?*
**[07:28] Guy**
Okay, you're on!
**[07:31] Shibakiyama**
* His enthusiasm is spreading*
* to the other sumo wrestlers.*
**[07:35] Shibakiyama**
*This mood is similar to when...*
**[07:49] Saenoyama**
Who is that over there?
**[07:51] Saki**
Ushio Hinomaru-kun.
**[07:53] Saki**
He's here for a one-day trial.
**[07:55] Saenoyama**
Oh, I heard he was coming.
**[07:57] Saenoyama**
He is rather good.
**[07:59] Shibakiyama**
Hey, Nori-chan!
**[08:01] Shibakiyama**
Stop the peeping tom act.
**[08:03] Shibakiyama**
Get in here already.
**[08:07] Saenoyama**
My apologies.
**[08:08] Saenoyama**
It sounded like you were having
such a good session,
**[08:11] Saenoyama**
I did not wish to interrupt.
**[08:14] Saenoyama**
Actually, to tell you the truth,
I could not look away.
**[08:18] Saki**
* The ninth-ranked west*
* maegashira, Saenoyama!*
**[08:24] All**
Good morning, sekitori!
**[08:28] Saki**
* So far, Ushio-kun's been fighting trainees*
* from the makushita division and below.*
**[08:33] Saki**
* It might sound rude, but they're*
* second-rate pros, maybe even third-rate.*
***SIGN*** Makuuchi
***SIGN*** Juryo
***SIGN*** Makushita
***SIGN*** Sandanme
**[08:38] Saki**
*Of the 700 or more pro sumo wrestlers,*
***SIGN*** Jonidan
***SIGN*** Makuuchi
***SIGN*** Juryo
***SIGN*** Makushita
***SIGN*** Sandanme
**[08:40] Saki**
* only the 70 in the juryo division*
* and above are allowed*
***SIGN*** Jonokuchi
**[08:43] Saki**
* to tie their hair in an oicho topknot*
* and call themselves sekitori.*
***SIGN*** Maezumo
**[08:46] Saki**
* And only sekitori are allowed to wear*
* a white mawashi belt during practice.*
**[08:50] Saki**
*He's a first-rate pro, Ushio-kun.*
**[08:55] Shibakiyama**
* Ushio-kun has created a mood similar*
* to a practice session for the sekitori.*
**[09:00] Shibakiyama**
* But now that an actual sekitori is here,*
* will things get even tenser?*
**[09:07] Saenoyama**
Good morning.
Thank you for your assistance earlier.
**[09:09] Saki**
No, thank you for letting me be here.
**[09:11] Saenoyama**
Good morning, master.
**[09:14] Hinomaru**
Sekitori! Please have a bout with me!
**[09:19] Guy**
Uh, Ushio-kun, the sekitori
only just got here...
**[09:23] Saenoyama**
I would like to duel you as well.
**[09:25] Guy**
Huh? Sekitori?
**[09:27] Saenoyama**
I may not look it,
but I happen to be a real curious cat.
**[09:39] Hinomaru**
* Is this the opportunity you*
* were hoping for, Kirihito?*
**[09:43] Hinomaru**
* Even the weaker fighters*
* were very adept, but...*
**[09:48] Hinomaru**
*Kusanagi was much stronger!*
**[09:51] Hinomaru**
*Ordinary opponents won't be enough.*
**[09:53] Hinomaru**
* I need to fight wrestlers*
* on a whole other level!*
**[09:56] Hinomaru**
*Saenoyama-zeki!*
**[09:59] Shibakiyama**
* I'll admit, we looked down*
* on you when you first walked in.*
**[10:02] Shibakiyama**
*But...*
**[10:03] Terahara**
Spirit!
**[10:07] Hinomaru**
*Why isn't he moving?*
**[10:11] Shibakiyama**
*...don't look down on the pros, boy!*
**[10:17] Hinomaru**
*This is it!*
**[10:20] Hinomaru**
O-One more time, please!
**[10:22] Hinomaru**
*This is what I came for!*
**[10:27] Hinomaru**
*I feel like I'm doing nothing to him.*
**[10:29] Hinomaru**
* His lower body is so flexible,*
* my strikes don't affect him.*
**[10:33] Hinomaru**
*But in a flash, his body becomes rock hard!*
**[10:36] Hinomaru**
*This is the power of the pro!*
**[10:38] Saenoyama**
"Be like water."
**[10:40] Saenoyama**
That is the lesson our master taught me.
**[10:42] Saenoyama**
Your form must be fluid, but you
must also strike with torrential force.
**[10:46] Hinomaru**
Like water, huh?
**[10:48] Saenoyama**
Your sumo is like fire, forever raging.
**[10:51] Saenoyama**
You could say it's heroic,
but you might also call it sloppy.
**[10:55] Saenoyama**
Thank you very much.
**[10:58] Saenoyama**
I understand your abilities now.
**[11:00] Hinomaru**
Please wait, sekitori!
**[11:02] Saenoyama**
Any further bouts would be a waste of time.
**[11:04] Saenoyama**
It's my duty to achieve the rank of yokozuna,
a glory my master was unable to taste.
**[11:11] Hinomaru**
I'm only here today!
**[11:13] Hinomaru**
Please, just one more bout!
**[11:15] Saenoyama**
The one thing I still do not understand
is what spurs you on.
**[11:19] Saenoyama**
Have you not had enough?
**[11:21] Saenoyama**
Even if you cannot best me,
there is no shame in it.
**[11:24] Saenoyama**
You certainly cannot be called weak.
**[11:26] Saenoyama**
You will be moderately
successful in high school sumo.
**[11:29] Hinomaru**
"Moderately successful" isn't good enough.
**[11:32] Hinomaru**
I will become a yokozuna,
just like you intend to!
**[11:35] Hinomaru**
Isn't that reason enough?
**[11:40] Saenoyama**
Like me?
**[11:41] Saenoyama**
Your dream of becoming a yokozuna
is borne from childish idealism.
**[11:44] Saenoyama**
Meanwhile, I speak of it knowing full well
how long and arduous a road it is.
**[11:48] Saenoyama**
What makes you think
we are one and the same?
**[11:52] Saenoyama**
You asked for one more bout.
**[11:54] Saenoyama**
Very well.
**[11:55] Saenoyama**
Maybe you believe you will
grow taller, or perhaps...
**[11:59] Saenoyama**
Regardless, those words that
passed your lips so frivolously
**[12:04] Saenoyama**
are an insult to all sumo wrestlers.
**[12:11] Guy**
The sekitori looks serious.
**[12:14] Hinomaru**
* Don't back down.*
* This is exactly why I'm here!*
**[12:17] Hinomaru**
* This is my last chance*
* to find a way to evolve.*
**[12:20] Hinomaru**
*I need to do something about my charge.*
**[12:22] Hinomaru**
* I don't have the skill*
* to overpower a sekitori.*
**[12:26] Hinomaru**
* All I can do is go as low*
* and as fast as I can.*
**[12:32] Guy**
A spider stance?
**[12:33] Shibakiyama**
That's it. Keep experimenting.
**[12:39] Terahara**
Spirit!
**[12:44] Terahara**
A slap!
**[12:45] Terahara**
Side slaps are banned
in amateur competitions!
**[12:50] Sae**
*This feeling...*
**[12:51] Sae**
* He used his knees as a cushion*
* to absorb the impact.*
**[12:54] Hinomaru**
* After dozens of bouts,*
* I don't have much strength left.*
**[12:58] Hinomaru**
*"Be like water."*
**[13:00] Hinomaru**
* That fluidity varies your rhythm and*
* dictates the tempo in a sumo bout!*
**[13:04] Hinomaru**
*Fire doesn't just rage, huh?*
**[13:07] Hinomaru**
*It flickers and burns!*
**[13:10] Shibakiyama**
* So what you've been*
* waiting for all day is...*
**[13:13] Hinomaru**
* Kirihito found me an extremely*
* skilled sparring partner.*
**[13:17] Hinomaru**
*I need to make the most of today!*
**[13:20] Hinomaru**
* Here I come. I'll swallow you*
* and reach the top!*
**[13:25] Sae**
*Some* incredible *force is
erupting from deep inside him!*
**[13:43] Saki**
* The sekitori pushed*
* Ushio-kun to the ground first,*
**[13:45] Saki**
*but his knee still went down!*
**[13:51] Hinomaru**
*My body was moving on its own.*
**[13:54] Hinomaru**
* It wasn't the same as what*
* Kirihito did, but it felt so natural.*
**[13:57] Hinomaru**
*This must be a new technique unique to me.*
**[14:00] Hinomaru**
*But I was so close...*
**[14:04] Hinomaru**
Damn! Dammit!
**[14:06] Saenoyama**
As agreed, that bout was our last.
**[14:11] Hinomaru**
Thank you very much.
**[14:12] Saenoyama**
I will expect to see you
here again tomorrow.
**[14:16] Saenoyama**
I would like to see
a little more of what you can do.
**[14:19] Saenoyama**
I may not look it,
but I happen to be a real curious cat.
**[14:24] Hinomaru**
I'll be here!
**[14:28] Kirihito**
So how was your remedial class?
**[14:31] Chihiro**
Forget that. Someone called
Gengoro from Ishigami showed up.
**[14:34] Kirihito**
Gengoro?
**[14:38] Kirihito**
Hello.
**[14:39] Kirihito**
Yeah.
**[14:39] Kirihito**
What? You're staying?
**[14:41] Hinomaru**
Saenoyama-zeki's sparring
with me tomorrow.
**[14:45] Hinomaru**
So the master said I might as well stay over.
**[14:49] Kirihito**
Think you'll acquire that new technique?
**[14:51] Hinomaru**
*I'll let you know that when I see you.*
**[14:54] Kirihito**
Bye.
**[14:56] Kei**
Was that Hinomaru-san?
**[14:58] Kirihito**
Yeah. He's staying at the Shibakiyama
Stable and training there again tomorrow.
**[15:03] Yuma**
They must really like him.
**[15:05] Ozeki**
We have to work hard, too!
**[15:06] Ozeki**
We can't leave it all up to him.
**[15:07] Chihiro**
Yeah! I'll be working hard tomorrow!
**[15:10] Kirihito**
No more failing tests, okay?
**[15:12] Chihiro**
Yeah, you can count on me!
**[15:13] Kirihito**
Take it down a notch.
**[15:18] Hinomaru**
Real sumo stable chankonabe stew!
**[15:21] Shibakiyama**
Hey, Hinomaru-chan, good work today!
**[15:23] Hinomaru**
"H-Hinomaru-chan"?
**[15:25] Shibakiyama**
Come over and eat with us.
**[15:27] Hinomaru**
You sure it's okay?
The sekitori's still eating.
**[15:29] Terahara**
Today's an exception. Go chow down.
**[15:31] Hinomaru**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[15:33] Saki**
The apprentices usually eat last, don't they?
**[15:36] Hinomaru**
Still...
**[15:39] Hinomaru**
This doesn't feel right.
**[15:41] Saenoyama**
I hear that you are a national
treasure, Onimaru Kunitsuna.
**[15:44] Terahara**
A n-national treasure?
**[15:46] Hinomaru**
It's not a big deal.
People just call me that.
**[15:47] Saki**
That's not true.
**[15:49] Saki**
I heard you held your own against Kusanagi.
**[15:51] Hinomaru**
Who told you that?
**[15:53] Saki**
I'm a sumo club manager, so I get
to hear a lot of high school sumo gossip.
**[15:58] Shibakiyama**
By Kusanagi, do you mean...
**[16:01] Hinomaru**
Kuze Sosuke, the national
treasure, Kusanagi Sword.
**[16:05] Hinomaru**
The son of former yokozuna, Yamatokuni.
**[16:08] Guy**
Yamatokuni...
**[16:10] Guy**
A national treasure?
**[16:11] Saenoyama**
He's somewhat of a hot topic these days.
**[16:14] Saenoyama**
People say he will rise quickly through
the ranks if he turns professional.
**[16:17] Shibakiyama**
I see. So you're in the same
generation as his son, huh?
**[16:20] Shibakiyama**
Tough break, kiddo.
**[16:23] Saenoyama**
Who was stronger, me or Junior?
**[16:28] Hinomaru**
W-Well, I did much better against him
than I did against you.
**[16:34] Guy**
Of course you did!
**[16:35] Terahara**
Hey, your chopsticks aren't moving!
**[16:37] Terahara**
This stew's a three-bowl minimum!
**[16:39] Hinomaru**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[16:40] Terahara**
After you've eaten your fill,
**[16:42] Terahara**
it's time for a nap.
**[16:51] Terahara**
We're off to buy groceries for dinner.
**[16:53] Hinomaru**
* You have to do a lot of chores*
* when you're an apprentice.*
**[16:54] Hinomaru**
Yes, sir!
**[16:57] Hinomaru**
*But... it's a lot of fun.*
**[17:00] Hinomaru**
* I know it's not all fun and games.*
* You live to compete.*
**[17:05] Hinomaru**
* They must all have private*
* doubts and anxieties.*
**[17:09] Hinomaru**
*I know all that.*
**[17:12] Saki**
I made some food, too!
**[17:12] Hinomaru**
* This is the world of pro sumo*
* I've been longing to join.*
**[17:14] Guy**
Whoa, I might ask you to marry me!
**[17:15] Hinomaru**
*It's like I've actually made it.*
**[17:18] Hinomaru**
*I'm not here to play.*
**[17:20] Hinomaru**
*I haven't accomplished anything yet.*
**[17:23] Hinomaru**
*But still... even if only for a short time...*
**[17:26] Hinomaru**
* Let me soak in this*
* feeling for a little while.*
**[17:42] Hinomaru**
Did I wake you?
**[17:44] Hinomaru**
Sorry.
**[17:45] Hinomaru**
I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep.
**[17:47] Hinomaru**
I wanted to revisit in my mind
everything I felt today.
**[17:51] Saki**
You're too excited to sit and rest.
**[17:54] Hinomaru**
I want to be a pro.
**[17:55] Hinomaru**
Coming here has only
made that desire greater.
**[17:59] Saki**
I've been spending time at sumo
stables on my days off lately.
**[18:03] Saki**
My brother wants to be a pro, too.
**[18:06] Saki**
I've been checking them out for him.
**[18:10] Saki**
So, Ushio-kun, who was stronger?
**[18:13] Saki**
Saenoyama-zeki or Kuze Sosuke?
**[18:19] Hinomaru**
It goes without saying that the sekitori
has more power and better technique.
**[18:23] Hinomaru**
The sekitori sparred with me
and has been kind to me, but...
**[18:27] Hinomaru**
If they fought each other,
I don't know who would win.
**[18:32] Hinomaru**
Maybe Kuze looms too large in my mind.
**[18:36] Hinomaru**
Their height and techniques
are evenly matched.
**[18:39] Hinomaru**
If I'm not able to fight
a full-strength sekitori, I won't...
**[18:43] ---**
I understand now.
**[18:46] Shibakiyama**
So your friend chose Saenoyama
as a stand-in for Kuze Sosuke.
**[18:51] Hinomaru**
M-Master!
**[18:53] Shibakiyama**
After fighting the sekitori yesterday,
you must have a lot you want to work on.
**[18:57] Shibakiyama**
I'll spar with you.
**[19:04] Shibakiyama**
When I was past my prime,
I got myself a victory
**[19:07] Shibakiyama**
by defeating the higher-ranked Yamatokuni.
**[19:09] Shibakiyama**
I'm sure my experience
will be useful for you.
**[19:14] Shibakiyama**
What's wrong? I don't take
off my shirt for just anyone.
**[19:19] Hinomaru**
Why would you go this far for me?
**[19:22] Hinomaru**
I'd understand if I were a sumo
wrestler destined to turn pro.
**[19:26] Hinomaru**
But I am... well...
**[19:29] Shibakiyama**
I see myself in you. Something us
old folks have a bad habit of doing.
**[19:35] Shibakiyama**
I was called small and helpless,
**[19:38] Shibakiyama**
but I still fought hard
to become a yokozuna.
**[19:41] Shibakiyama**
I only made it as high as sekiwake.
**[19:44] Shibakiyama**
People congratulated me, of course,
but I never achieved my dream.
**[19:48] Shibakiyama**
If only I'd been taller...
**[19:50] Shibakiyama**
I passed that dream on to Saenoyama.
**[19:52] Shibakiyama**
But I have one more dream.
**[19:56] Shibakiyama**
To see someone small become a yokozuna.
**[19:59] Shibakiyama**
Realize that dream for me!
**[20:03] Shibakiyama**
That was a bit long-winded,
but I'm trying to say I like you, kid!
**[20:08] Shibakiyama**
When you're ready to turn pro, come to me.
**[20:10] Shibakiyama**
You got that? I'll be waiting.
**[20:12] Hinomaru**
Yes, sir!
**[20:14] Guy**
What? Is Hinomaru up?
**[20:16] Terahara**
Hey, the master's practicing with him!
**[20:18] Terahara**
He's never done that for me!
**[20:19] Shibakiyama**
What's this? Everyone's awake now?
**[20:22] Terahara**
Aw, screw it! Let's just start practice now!
**[20:24] Guy**
All right!
**[20:26] Saki**
*A high schooler's getting the pros excited.*
**[20:30] Saki**
*Ushio Hinomaru-kun, huh?*
**[20:32] Saki**
Thanks for having me!
**[20:34] Saki**
Ah, that was so much fun!
**[20:37] Saki**
Having someone my age
around made things easier.
**[20:40] Saki**
Thanks.
**[20:42] Hinomaru**
Right back at ya.
**[20:44] Saki**
If both our schools win enough bouts,
we'll see each other at nationals.
**[20:47] Hinomaru**
Yeah, I'm gonna be at nationals so
I can become the high school yokozuna!
**[20:51] Saki**
And I hope you do.
**[20:53] Saki**
But I don't think you'll manage it this
year, because my brother's competing.
**[20:58] Hinomaru**
Your brother?
**[20:59] Hinomaru**
You said you were a manager,
but what high school are you from?
**[21:03] Saki**
Tottori Hakuro.
**[21:04] Hinomaru**
Tottori Hakuro?
**[21:06] Hinomaru**
You mean...
**[21:08] Saki**
I'm Tennoji Saki.
Nice to meet you, Ushio Hinomaru-kun.
**[21:15] Hinomaru**
*Tennoji Shido, the national champion!*
**[21:19] Saki**
* I thought Ishigami High School was*
* sure to be the team from Chiba,*
**[21:23] Saki**
*but I learned something new today.*
**[21:25] Saki**
Onimaru Kunitsuna and
Odachi High School, huh?
**[21:28] Saki**
I'll be waiting at the top, Ushio-kun.
**[21:32] Hinomaru**
* Tennoji, Kuze... and Sada at*
* Ishigami before I even meet them!*
**[21:37] Hinomaru**
* I need to perfect my new*
* technique and beat them all!*
**[23:11] Yuma**
Shibakiyama Stable
**[23:13] Yuma**
Shibakiyama Stable
**[23:13] Yuma**
Shibakiyama Stable
**[23:13] Hinomaru**
Hey, check it out!
**[23:13] Yuma**
Shibakiyama Stable
**[23:14] Yuma**
What? That's just weird.
**[23:17] Hinomaru**
Hey, what do you think?
**[23:20] Chihiro**
What's with that lame shirt?
**[23:23] Ozeki**
Oh, a Shibakiyama T-shirt!
**[23:26] Ozeki**
I'd love one of those!
