[00:13] Hinomaru
    I figured you'd be here.
[00:16] Ozeki
    Ushio.
[00:19] Hinomaru
    No trace left of it, huh?
[00:23] Ozeki
    Yeah.
[00:30] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    My name is Ushio Hinomaru.
[00:35] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    In order to reach yokozuna,
    the highest rank in sumo,
[00:39] (Flashback) Hinomaru
    I must become the strongest
    high school sumo wrestler!
[00:45] Hinomaru
    Good times.
[00:46] Ozeki
    It all started here.
[00:50] Hinomaru
    The sumo club went from one member to two,
[00:54] Hinomaru
    and now, we have six guys
    aiming to be the best in Japan.
[00:57] Ozeki
    Honestly, I'm a little scared.
[01:01] Ozeki
    I'm a third-year, so if we
    lose today, that's it for me.
[01:04] Ozeki
    But...
[01:06] Ozeki
    I don't want my journey to end yet.
[01:08] Ozeki
    I want to keep sumo wrestling
    with everyone in the club.
[01:17] Ozeki
    I'm whining again.
[01:19] Ozeki
    I'm a pathetic excuse for an upperclassman.
[01:24] Hinomaru
    You kept the sumo club going,
    even when others made fun of you.
[01:29] Hinomaru
    If you hadn't done that,
    none of us would be here now.
[01:35] Hinomaru
    You're not pathetic at all.
[01:37] Hinomaru
    The Dachi High sumo club
    only exists because of you.
[01:44] Hinomaru
    We won't let today's bouts be your last.
[01:47] Hinomaru
    We're gonna breeze through the
    prefectural prelims and go to nationals!
[01:50] Hinomaru
    You're coming with us all the way to the top.
[01:53] Ozeki

[03:56] Reina
    What's all this?
[03:58] Reina
    Everyone looks super pumped for this.
[04:02] Announcer
    We will now begin the fifth match

    Hey, Hinomaru! We're here to cheer you on!
[04:14] Shibakiyama
    We're here incognito, remember.
[04:17] Shibakiyama
    I don't want us to stand out.

    On the east side, from Kashiwa
    Technical High School: Ito-kun.
[04:32] Guy
    Odachi High School? Never heard of 'em.
[04:35] Guy
    Kashiwa Tech is a real powerhouse,
    and they've made it to nationals before.
[04:39] Guy
    And look at the difference in physique.
    It's obvious who'll win.

    He can throw someone from that stance?
[05:24] Kirihito
    Okay, now that Onimaru-sensei
    has shown what he can do,
[05:29] Kirihito
    how about we show everyone
[05:31] Kirihito
    what the dark horse, Dachi High,
    is capable of?
[05:35] All
    Yeah!
[05:36] Guy
    Could that short-ass be the kid

[05:42] Guy
    You serious?
[05:43] Guy
    That's the guy?
[05:45] Kanamori
    National treasure, Onimaru Kunitsuna.
[05:48] Kanamori
    He looks pretty strong.
[05:51] Sada
    Make sure you get to the finals.
[05:55] Kanamori
    Hey, where are you going?
[05:59] Sada
    This magazine wants to interview me.
[06:01] Sada
    So see ya!

    See? I told you Chiharu was interesting.
[06:25] Sanada
    Is he the guy you met
    while you were suspended?
[06:28] Sanada
    Jeez, we don't need our secret weapon
    going around introducing himself.
[06:33] Yuma
    Chaotic thrusts!
[06:36] Guy
    His hits are really fast!
[06:38] Guy
    Screw this. I'm backing off.
[06:42] Kirihito
    Backing off when you're being hit is very
    different to backing off when you're on top.
[06:50] Reina
    Yuma!
[06:52] All
    Yuma-san, you're so cool!
[06:56] Kanamori
    So he wasn't just messing around.
[06:59] Guy
    Odachi High School's pretty strong!
[07:01] Guy
    They've won three bouts in a row,
    so they're already into the second round!
[07:04] Guy
    From what we've seen so far, their other
    two team members must be incredible!
[07:11] Guy
    Huh?
[07:19] Kirihito
    You did fine.
[07:20] Kirihito
    Stay strong.
[07:23] Araki
    I see now.
[07:25] Araki
    They put their strongest guys in first.
[07:29] Araki
    Just look at their captain.
[07:34] Araki
    He looks absolutely terrified.
[07:37] Araki
    He looks like a bully's plaything.
[07:39] Sanada
    Just watch. These final bouts
    are what I'm most interested in.
[07:45] Referee
    Spirit!
[07:53] Guy
    R-Railroaded?
[08:00] Sanada
    Given the chance, someone
    like that can transform.
[08:04] Sanada
    And the person who gave him that chance...
[08:06] Sanada
    ...is Dachi High's sixth member:
    Tsuji Kirihito.
[08:10] Kanamori
    Dachi High is no longer
    Onimaru's one-man team.
[08:14] Kanamori
    We'll go all out against them!
[08:16] Kirihito
    Hinomaru, Ishi High's watching us.
[08:19] Hinomaru
    Yeah.
[08:19] Chihiro
    They're already gearing up to fight us.
[08:23] Hinomaru
    Fine by me.
[08:25] Hinomaru
    We'll see them in the finals.
[08:31] Sada
    Oh, there he is.
[08:33] Sada
    Ushio-kun!
[08:34] Kirihito
    Sada Mizuki.
[08:36] Hinomaru
    I wasn't planning on meeting you
    until we engaged in combat in the ring.
[08:41] Sada
    Oh, don't be like that.
[08:43] Sada
    You've got your semifinal match next.
[08:45] Sada
    Breeze through it so we can have our fight, 'kay?
[08:48] Hinomaru
    You seem excited by the prospect.
[08:51] Sada
    Of course I am!
[08:53] Sada
    Middle school sumo was
    so boring without a rival.
[08:59] Sada
    I must thank you for making it this far,
     national treasure, Onimaru Kunitsuna.
[09:06] Hinomaru
    You have nothing to thank me for,
     Mikazuki Munechika.
[09:15] Hinomaru
    I'll have to get dirt on your blade.
[09:21] Announcer
    Match over. Dachi High,
    on the west side, wins 4-1.
[09:25] Yuma
    Yeah!
[09:27] Ozeki
    We're in the final round!
[09:30] Reina
    They won!
[09:32] Funaki
    But that scrawny guy
    spells trouble for them.
[09:36] Hashi
    He's the only one with
    losses across the board.
[09:40] Reina
    He's weak, but he still
    charges straight at them.
[09:44] Reina
    Even if you want to be like him...
[09:47] Kirihito
    To put it simply, Ishigami High
    School's team this year is strong.
[09:51] Kirihito
    Probably the strongest they've ever had.
[09:54] Kirihito
    We could make a tactical call and
    put Mitsuhashi in against Sada.
[09:58] Kirihito
    Give Sada an easy win, and focus
     instead on winning the other bouts.
[10:02] Kirihito
    Still, there's no perfect plan against
     a nationally ranked opponent.
[10:08] Kirihito
    We need every win we can get.
[10:12] Kirihito
    We'll face them head on and win.
    This is but a pitstop on our journey.
[10:16] Kirihito
    Let's go become the best in Japan!
[10:18] All
    Yeah!
[10:21] Announcer
    This is the final round
    of the team competition.
[10:25] Announcer
    On the west side: Odachi High School.

    First in the ring is Mitsuhashi Kei.

[10:55] Announcer
    and Sada Mizuki.
[10:58] Referee
    Bow.
[10:58] All
    Let's have a good match!
[11:00] Announcer
    First in the ring, on the
    west side, Mitsuhashi-kun.
[11:03] ---
    Here!
[11:04] Announcer
    On the east side, Mamiya-kun.
[11:07] Guy
    Wow, you can already see
    how this is gonna play out.
[11:11] Guy
    He must weigh 100 kilos more than him.
[11:14] Guy
    He might even die here.
[11:16] Terahara
    It's impressive that an amateur with
    his physique can charge the way he does.
[11:21] Terahara
    But two months' training just isn't enough.
[11:25] Terahara
    Dachi High is basically a team of four.
[11:28] Shibakiyama
    It's true that losing any bout
    at this stage is a setback.
[11:32] Shibakiyama
    But...
[11:33] Shibakiyama
    Mitsuhashi-kun's expression tells me
    he hasn't thrown in the towel.
[11:37] Shibakiyama
    And his teammates don't look like
    they're the only four trying.
[11:48] (Flashback) Mitsu
    One more time.
[11:50] (Flashback) Kirihito
    You've got guts, charging
    in head-on like that.
[11:55] (Flashback) Mitsu
    If you've got something
    to say, please say it.
[11:58] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Nothing you say will make me feel worse.
[12:02] (Flashback) Kirihito
    You're doing really well.
[12:05] (Flashback) Kirihito
    But at this rate, you won't be
    ready for the Inter High prelims.
[12:17] Referee
    Hey, you need to put your hands on the ground.
[12:20] Mitsu
    Yes, sir.
[12:22] Araki
    What's he doing?
[12:23] Mamiya
    He must've got that from watching Onimaru.
[12:26] Mamiya
    He's always charging head-on, too.
[12:28] Mamiya
    It's touching, in a way.
[12:30] Kanamori
    Mamiya!
[12:41] Kirihito
    Show everyone...
[12:43] Kirihito
    how serious you are!
[12:49] Referee
    Spirit!
[12:52] Mamiya
    He disappeared!
[12:53] Mamiya
    Wh-Where'd he go?!
[13:04] Referee
    Spirit!
[13:06] Mamiya
    He disappeared!
[13:08] Mamiya
    Wh-Where'd he go?!
[13:15] Terahara
    A leaping charge!
[13:16] Shibakiyama
    He didn't come up with that
    on the spur of the moment!
[13:18] Shibakiyama
    It must be something he practiced.
[13:23] (Flashback) Mitsu
    A change?
[13:25] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Yeah, it's a solid strategy,
[13:28] (Flashback) Kirihito
    but I didn't want to suggest it,
[13:31] (Flashback) Kirihito
    because I know how much you
    respect Hinomaru's head-on charge.
[13:37] (Flashback) Kirihito
    There's no point doing sumo if
    you don't like how you're doing it.
[13:40] (Flashback) Kirihito
    You still have two more
    years to look forward to.
[13:42] (Flashback) Mitsu
    How I'd like to do sumo?
[13:45] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Hinomaru-san has worked very hard
    to wrestle the way he does now.
[13:50] (Flashback) Mitsu
    I could never waltz up, casually imitate him,
    and go, "My bad, I lost."
[13:55] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Especially not if it happens to be
    in the finals of a team tournament.
[14:00] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Next year and the year after aren't enough!
[14:02] (Flashback) Mitsu
    I'm nothing but a burden,
[14:04] (Flashback) Mitsu
    but Hinomaru-san and the captain smile
    at me and make me feel welcome.
[14:08] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Even Gojo-san and Kunisaki-san,
[14:10] (Flashback) Mitsu
    who could've led someone
    stronger if they felt like it...
[14:15] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Coach, please show me how I can win.
[14:20] (Flashback) Mitsu
    If I can help the team out when it counts,
[14:22] (Flashback) Mitsu
    I'll do it even if it isn't
    what I want or respect!
[14:29] Kirihito
    If you had made this change earlier,
[14:31] Kirihito
    you might have scored some
    victories in earlier rounds.
[14:34] Kirihito
    But that isn't your end goal.
[14:38] Kirihito
    The reason you kept losing so nobly
[14:41] Kirihito
    is because anyone at your size would be
    expected to have tricks up their sleeve,
[14:45] Kanamori
    and you played the honest clown
    to make them lower their guard.
[14:49] Kanamori
    You did it so this move would work
    when it mattered most
[14:53] Kanamori
    and help us beat Ishi High!
[14:57] Kirihito
    Mitsuhashi, win it!
[14:59] All
    Go!
[15:05] Mitsu
    No way!
[15:06] Chihiro
    He reacted too quickly!
[15:07] Kirihito
    He was expecting it?!
[15:09] Kanamori
    I figured they had some sort of plan.
[15:11] Mamiya
    If our captain hadn't warned me,
    I'd have been in trouble.
[15:15] Mitsu
    Don't give up!
[15:16] Mitsu
    Keep reaching!
[15:23] Kirihito
    Dammit!
[15:25] Funaki
    Well, he couldn't do much more.
[15:27] Funaki
    It's a fair result.
[15:28] Nishizato
    But... that was awesome. He's incredible!
[15:35] Araki
    You've never played a
    sport before, have you?
[15:39] Araki
    It seems pretty arrogant for you to
    expect to win if you just use your brain.
[15:47] Ozeki
    Kunisaki!
[15:52] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Nice!
[15:53] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Once you're behind him,
    it doesn't matter if he's bigger!
[15:56] (Flashback) Kirihito
    Just push!
[15:57] (Flashback) Chihiro
    But it's the kind of trick you
    can't use more than a few times.
[16:02] (Flashback) Kirihito
    That's why we'll save it for Ishi High.
[16:05] (Flashback) Chihiro
    Wait, you think you've got
    a chance against Ishi High?
[16:09] (Flashback) Chihiro
    Don't worry.
[16:11] (Flashback) Chihiro
    No one's expecting you to win.
[16:15] (Flashback) Chihiro
    The captain and Gojo
    are improving by the day.
[16:18] (Flashback) Chihiro
    You can just treat it like
    it's an individual competition.
[16:22] (Flashback) Mitsu
    I'm not going just to make
    some happy memories.
[16:27] (Flashback) Mitsu
    I'm on this team to
    become the best in Japan!
[16:31] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Just watch.
[16:32] (Flashback) Mitsu
    Someday, you'll be really thankful when I win!
[16:39] Ozeki
    Mitsuhashi!
[16:40] Mitsu
    I-I'm sorry.
[16:42] Ozeki
    What are you talking about? You did great.
[16:45] Chihiro
    Man, you jumped too far.
[16:48] Chihiro
    You got too nervous in the clutch.
[16:50] Chihiro
    Even if he was expecting it, you should've
    gotten yourself in a better position.
[16:54] Ozeki
    H-Hey, Kunisaki...
[16:58] Chihiro
    Man, what am I gonna do with you?
[17:01] Chihiro
    You'd better make me thankful
    during nationals.
[17:06] Chihiro
    I see. So this is what makes
    a team competition what it is.
[17:11] Araki
    Yo, Chiharu.
[17:14] Chihiro
    This is the first time I've wanted to win
    for someone other than myself.
[17:19] Announcer
    On the west side: Kunisaki-kun.
[17:19] Hashi
    There's a lot riding on this second bout.
[17:21] Nishizato
    Yeah.
[17:21] Announcer
    On the east side: Araki-kun.
[17:23] Nishizato
    It's the wrestling champion
    versus the judo champion.
[17:25] Nishizato
    A combat sports showdown!
[17:27] Chihiro
    Time to settle our score, Gengoro.
[17:30] Araki
    It's Gennosuke.
[17:32] Araki
    But if I'd had my way, I would've preferred
    facing you in an individual competition.
[17:38] Araki
    This will be Dachi High's second loss.
[17:41] Araki
    You'll be toast.
[17:43] Araki
    But that pressure to do well for
    the team only constrains our fight.
[17:46] Chihiro
    Constrains?
[17:48] Araki
    I want to have a duel that's
    free of such impurities
[17:52] Araki
    so we can find out who is stronger.
[17:55] Araki
    It's called a team competition,
    but it's really five individual bouts.
[17:59] Araki
    Let's not go nuts over this one.
[18:01] Chihiro
    Oh, I get it.
[18:02] Chihiro
    You're the type who gets stronger
    by casting aside anything unnecessary.
[18:06] Chihiro
    Don't worry. I'm always at my best, Mutsugoro!
[18:10] Araki
    That's not even close to my name!
[18:20] Referee
    Spirit!
[18:22] Guy
    Huh?
[18:24] Guy
    They're not moving.
[18:32] Guy
    Hey, engage already!
[18:33] Guy
    This is boring!
[18:37] Terahara
    The crowd's turning ugly.
[18:38] Shibakiyama
    A lot of the spectators
    are just here to see sumo.
[18:43] Shibakiyama
    These two have honed techniques
    in different disciplines.
[18:48] Shibakiyama
    That's why they don't
    want to attack recklessly.
[18:51] Shibakiyama
    They know they're at their most
    vulnerable when they get in close.
[18:54] Shibakiyama
    But I think the first to move will be...
[18:58] Guy
    Kunisaki's attacking!
[18:59] Ozeki
    A double leg takedown!
[19:01] Kirihito
    Good!
[19:01] Kirihito
    It's harder to counter
    lower attacks with judo!
[19:05] Araki
    I figured you'd try that.
[19:06] Araki
    Don't underestimate me!
[19:08] Araki
    Arguing which discipline
    is stronger is nonsensical.
[19:12] Araki
    When I beat Chiharu,
[19:14] Araki
    it won't mean that judo is
    stronger than wrestling!
[19:17] Araki
    If you're strong, you're good at
    everything you turn your hand to.
[19:21] Araki
    But that's neither here nor there right now.
[19:24] Araki
    The crowd's cheers and jeers...
[19:25] Araki
    The title of judo champion...
[19:27] Araki
    The expectations of my upperclassmen,
    the days I spent training...
[19:31] Araki
    Those are all worldly distractions!
[19:33] Araki
    Cast them aside!
[19:35] Araki
    The only thing that matters is
    defeating the opponent in front of you!
[19:38] Chihiro
    Countering with an inner thigh throw?
[19:40] Ozeki
    Kunisaki!
[19:42] Chihiro
    Cast it aside, huh?
[19:44] Chihiro
    I used to be like that,
    obsessed with my own strength.
[19:49] Chihiro
    But...
[19:59] Chihiro
    They're already under my skin.
[20:01] Chihiro
    I can never cast them aside!
[20:03] Funaki
    He's countering with a hip throw!
[20:05] Chihiro
    For the past month, I've been strengthening
    my feet, making them more dexterous.
[20:11] Chihiro
    Now, they can grip the ground!
[20:13] Chihiro
    I win!
[20:22] Terahara
    A front flip in midair?
[20:24] Kirihito
    But he's off-balance!
[20:26] Kirihito
    Pressure him!
[20:32] Mamiya
    A sweeping grab!
[20:33] Sanada
    That's a judo sacrifice throw!
[20:35] Chihiro
    C-Crap, he's pulling me
    down with all his weight.
[20:39] Chihiro
    None of my wrestling moves
    will help me out of this one!
[20:43] Chihiro
    His focus is unbelievable!
[20:45] Chihiro
    Meanwhile, I...
[20:48] Chihiro
    Even at this critical moment,
[20:50] Chihiro
    my head is filled with
    everything but the contest!
[20:55] Chihiro
    Like my life's flashing in front of my eyes.
[20:59] Chihiro
    So many worldly thoughts.
[21:01] Chihiro
    Have I gotten weaker?
[21:03] Hinomaru
    You're not out of it yet!
[21:05] Chihiro
    He's right! This is perfect.
[21:08] Chihiro
    Worldly thoughts or whatever...
[21:10] Chihiro
    I'll shoulder it all and win!

[23:00] Mamiya
    Welcome.
[23:06] Mitsu
    I-I'm sorry! This is the wrong store—
[23:08] Mamiya
    Are you looking for carnations?
[23:10] Mitsu
    Uh, yes...
[23:13] Mitsu
    That sure took me by surprise.
[23:15] Mitsu
    Does he work there part-time?
[23:17] Mamiya
    What's his problem?
[23:19] Mom
    Kei-chan, dinner!
[23:21] Mamiya
    Okay!
[23:24] Hinomaru
    They had no way of knowing they would
    soon face each other in the sumo ring.
