[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     Right!

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. [04:19] Terahara     You stand out like a sore     thumb all by yourself. [04:23] Announcer     First in the ring, on the west side,     from Odachi High School: Ushio-kun. [04:28] Announcer     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. [04:43] Referee     Hands on the ground. [04:48] Referee     Spirit! [04:49] Terahara     Hinomaru was too slow to react? [04:51] Shibakiyama     No. [04:55] Terahara     That kid...

[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 [05:39] Guy     who gave Yamatokuni's son     a run for his money? [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! [06:02] Kanamori     That cocky jackass.

[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. [10:27] Announcer     First in the ring is Mitsuhashi Kei. [10:30] Announcer     Going second is Kunisaki Chihiro. [10:32] Announcer     Going third is Gojo Yuma. [10:35] Announcer     Going fourth is Ozeki Shinya. [10:39] Announcer     On the east side: Ishigami High School. [10:41] Announcer     First in the ring is Mamiya Keiichi. [10:44] Announcer     Going second is Araki Gennosuke. [10:46] Announcer     Going third is Kanamori Tsuyoshi. [10:49] Announcer     Going fourth is Sanada Yuki. [10:53] Announcer     The fifth and final fighters     are Ushio Hinomaru [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.
