In the Heian era, Fujiwara Sai
After a great span of time
Was reborn in the heart of Shindou Hikaru
To master the Move Of God
You are holding me up strong 君が今僕を支えて
I am holding you as well 僕が今君を支える
So let us now while wandering, live together だから迷いながらも共に生きていこうよ
towards the future 未来へと
Even when I'm capricing with my friends 仲間と戯れ それなりで居ても
I feel an emptiness in my heart もの足りながを感じてしまう
Looked at with cold eyes 冷めた目で見られて
I'm blown by the winds of a dry age 乾いた時代の風に吹かれている
Feelings of doubt and courage are back to back 不安な心と勇気が背中合わせになっている
but I'll make these dreams come true now with my own hands だけど今なら夢をこの手で叶えてみせるよ
The days where I'm hurt and about to break 傷ついて壊れそうな日も
The days where I cry and trouble you They all exist 涙して困らせる日もあるけれど
but we will get over it heading 僕達はそれを超えていくんだ
Higher then anyone else 誰より上を目指して
I really want a guy who can play to join...
Hey, let's put a new poster up
One that'll attract more attention
We'll put a really hard tsumego on it, and ask people who can solve it to come!
I don't care if they're strong or not any more
The tenth Match: The Third Member
Shindou-Kun
The new poster you put up to get members...
..you put a tsumego on it right?
What about it, Tsutsui-san
Someone answered it
Look, and its right too
There is someone who can play
This problem is for an upper-kyu player
so he's definitely strong
So all we have to do is find him
I'm starting to see a beacon of hope
If we go around all the classes asking...
Definitely!
Uumm... I..
Know the person who wrote that
W-Who
How do you know?
Because... I was watching
So who was it? Who
A name, A name
I think... Mitani-kun from class 3
Why didn't you ask him to the club
Well, if he wants to join, he'll come himself
Since he hasn't come, that means he doesn't want to join
So you drag him here wether he likes it or not
You're so stupid
But I'm not a Go club member
What? Fujisaki-san you're not a Go club member
Oh man, this is why Akari is...
What. I'm going home
Are you sure you shouldn't go after her?
She'll be fine tomorrow
that's the kinda of person she is
But... Mitani of class 3... I don't know him
Oh well, I'll try asking him tomorrow
Yeah, please do
Cause we want to find a third person
and go to the tournament again..
After all,
we may have been disqualified but we did win against Kaiou Junior High
Not this again
I won because of my opponent's mistake
Shindou-Kun won because he got into a lucky streak
Even Touya Akira came to challange you
Yeah yeah, lucky streak
You're laughing to much
Speaking of Touya
he's in Kaiou Junior High right?
I wonder if he's in the Go club too...
No way
Why?
Because... Touya Akira's strength is...
Shindou-Kun, you don't know what an Insei is do you?
Insei?
They're children who place themselves under the guidance of the Japanese Go Institute's Pro preparation program
They're being trained, so no matter how strong they are...
..they're forbidden from entering amateur tournaments
I hear there are former Insei in Kaiou's Go club
There are many who give up on becoming pro and quite the Insei program
But, Touya isn't an Insei
In other words, to him
even an Insei is too weak
Even an Insei...
Oh, Glass stones chip easily so be careful
Well, there's no way Touya would join the Go club
Maybe it was too farfetched a goal to beat Touya...
Hikaru
Hikaru... Before Touya, first you have to....
Yeah, first I have to beat Kaiou's third board
No, before that..
first you have to win against Tsutsui-san
Oh, yeah
What is it?
Nothing
Good point about Tsutsui-san...
but before that, we have to find a third member
What will I do...
but, let's eat some Ramen first
You really like Ramen don't you Hikaru?
I think it's the greatest food in the world
Hey go make a delivery
Okay
The Go salon behind us right?
Hikaru! Hikaru!
They said Go Salon
What about it?
I wanna go there
Hikaru plays every day at the Go club
But I haven't played at all lately!
Speaking of, there's a really good Junior High kid at the Go salon
I played him once
but I didn't stand a chance
Thanks for the food
A strong Junior High kid?
Hikaru! Hurry Hurry
Who is it?
That way!
At a place like this?
Delivery
Isn't this a little scary?
But it's a Go Salon right?
Here you go 700 yen right?
Thanks
Are you going to play?
500 yen for children
Hikaru, over there
Must be him
Hey! Shuu-san! Can you bring some tea over here?
I can hear you without yelling
If you're going to watch, sit down
Here's some tea
Thanks
Hikaru that child!
What?
He's cheating at Seichi!
He's moving the stones purposefully to increase his territory
and decrease his opponents
I have no idea what you're talking about
White, 46 moku
Black, 44 moku
I was a little short... I thought I was winning though
Here ya go
What? Going home already?
That's three straight losses now
It's time for me to go home already
I told my parents I'm at a club
Man...
A school uniform
Is he from Haze Jr High?
Could he be…
Sai!
What was that guys name?
That Akari was talking about
Mitani?
Hey kid! You're playing too right?
Sit down.
I'll play Ban-go or Me-go with you
Ban-Go? Me-Go?
Hey what are you trying to do
It's his first time here
Then Shuu-san let's play
It's looked down upon for an employee to gamble...
Hey! Are you.. Mitani...
Do you know him, son?
He's making quite a bit of money...
especially as of late
I can't imagine him getting stronger so suddenly.
No, no. Mitani-kun really is a strong player
So he is Mitani!
Hikaru!
Let's ask him to join the Go club
It's sad that he's cheating at Seichi as a child
Have him join the Go club...
and in my place
Hikaru,
give him a stern word...
Mitani, hey Mitani!
Wait up Mitani
Did you want something?
If you can play Go, come to the Go club
I'm not going
Because you can't make money at the club?
Yeah
You were cheating when you were counting territories, weren't you?
You have good eyes
Is there something you need money for?
Not really
Ever since the economy went on a down turn, my parents stopped giving me an allowance
Then come play at the Go club!
It's free
There are CDs and shirts I want you know?
Cya
Just once
Just come once okay!?
Hey you
This way, this way
Tsutsui-san,
I brought Mitani!
Mitani-kun?
Come on in!
Try playing a game against Mitani
He's really strong!
He'll make a great member
Is this guy always this forceful?
Hikaru,
you forced him to come?
But you came all this way so...
Go club huh? Not too exciting...
You solved the tsumego on the poster right?
Play a game
I guess one games okay
Let's start then
I'll take black
Then, good luck
Yeah, sure
Hey, umm, Theres a tournament soon
A Go tournament, for Jr High Schools
And?
It's a team tournament
3 people to a team, the side with 2 wins, wins
So?
So, if you join we'll have 3!
Are you the type that thinks alot?
Sorry
This child has quite a bit of potential
He makes honest and good moves
If he plays against Hikaru
they would both grow...
but... Why did he do what he did yesterday?
What was he trying to get through his cheating?
There's nothing in the world worth posessing
at the cost of disgracing a match
It's a matter of timing if I want to capture territory here..
Should I surround the center or stop the right side?
Sorry
Before going to the lower right
I should play here first
Mitani-kun will respond to that on the upper right
so then I'll stop the right side
Okay, Tsuke!
your loss
I haven't played yet
I just hit it against the side
It's your loss because you made 2 consective moves
Cya
Are you going there again today?
It's more fun than this place
So that's the kind of guy he is, how about it?
Wait, do you mean?
I found him at a Go salon yesterday but..
he cheated after the game like this..
Cheated!?
At Seichi!?
But he's strong right?
He'll make a good member
But...
What if he cheats during the tournament?
He has the nerves to do it at a Go salon against adults
He probably wouldn't hesitate at against kids in a tournament
His opponent won't notice, we won't notice
But, can you form a team with a guy like that?
I'll make him stop!
Make him stop?
Yes, we'll make him stop, Hiakru
We can't let him do things like that
He's still a child
Let's go after him Hikaru! Right now!
Hey, Mitani-kun
We'll be done soon
so can you play him later?
A kid comes here?
Rare these days
This kid is strong
So, what happened?
You went to the barbecue place with Akemi-chan, and then?
We took a picture
She put her face right up like this
You're only going to have girls while you have money
He's not very good, He can barely hold the stones aswell
Just because you won at the horse races...
With komi, I win by 3 and a half moku
Here you go
Thanks
I'm not Akemi-chan, but
Dake-san I love you
Anyways
play him Mitani-kun
Sorry he's a little drunk
For the game
He should probably place 4 stones...
Would 2 stones be enough for him?
2 stones is a little lacking
Why don't you give him at least 3
I can't place stones against a kid
Even match. Even match
Want to bet on it?
Sure I'm fine with it. Want to bet on it?
Sure I'm fine with it.
Ban-go?
How's 500yen a game sound?
Same as before is fine
But you're a Jr High kid
You have 10,000yen?
Hey, Mitani-kun,
you ussually play 1000yen
I have it, just barely
But it's 10,000yen
Kids these days
Well I'm gonna nigiri then
Make him stop
Sai, how!?
I don't know
But I'm sure we can do it...
We have to make him stop!
Akemi-chan, I love you
You hold the stones well
compared to you I do
Sorry about that
Mitani?
where is it どこにあるのかな
The treasure that belongs to me ボクだけの宝物
Now towards a great adventure 今 大きな冒険へ
The gentle sunlight やわらかな日差し
A feeling of depature 旅立ちの予感
The sky and the flower are both laughing 空も花も ホラ 笑っている
I wonder what waits ahead for me この先には何が待つのだろう
Take A deep breath 深呼吸
Place your hand gently on the door to your dreams, and let's go 夢の扉にそっと手をかけて 行こう
While blown by the wind 風に吹かれながら
While rocking your heart 心揺らしながら
holding a blank map in one hand 真っ白な地図を片手に持ちながら
While blown by the wind 風に吹かれながら
While drawing in tomorrow 明日を描きながら
far away until I 遠くまで 何処まで
reach that place たどり着けるまで
I won't lose, I wont cry 絶対負けないよ 絶対泣かないよ
Until the day that i make this dream come true この夢を叶えるその日までは
The sky was laughing あの空は笑っていた
That flower was laughing too あの花は笑っていた
Some day I will laugh with you ボクもいつか笑うから
I will surpass any obstacle どんな壁も越えるから
I'm not afraid of anything any more
