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
But...
What if he cheats during the tournament?
He has the nerves to do it at a Go salon against adults
He probably won't hesitate to against a kids tournament
His opponent won't notice, we won't notice..
But.. can you form a team with a guy like that?
Make him stop, Sai, how?
I don't know
But I'm sure we can do something
We have to make him stop
Match #11 The Most Inconsiderate Act
Mitani
Another kid?
This kids not gonna come bet 10,000yen again is he?
10-10,000yen?
The boy from yesterday. Are you going to play?
No I'll just watch
Then, could you shut that door?
It's too loud outside
Sorry
The match is still in the middle game
Hey if you're a friend,
could you tell this kid to take it a little easy on us old folks?
Really, this boy doesn't know how to hold back
What did you come here for?
What... well
Sai, Mitani is winning this right?
He won't cheat if he's winning right?
You look as if your disappointed
No I don't
What are you talking about?
Hey, Tsutsui-san
How did Mitani cheat at Seichi?
You decide win/lose in Go
by the size of your territory
For example, this black formation
Count the number of intersections inside
1..2...3....4...5...6...7...8...9...10....11...12
That means this territory is worth 12 moku
After you finish a game, they usually look like this
but it's hard to count this right?
So you make the territories square
to make it easier to count
All your doing is moving stones around inside the territory
So it doesn't increase or decrease the number of territories you have
See? with this, 3 times 4 gives 12
Yeah it's easier to count
So this is what Seichi is.. and he cheated at this?
Exactly
Is that easy to do?
It's not a matter of easy or not
Even if I did it awkwardly
the opponent probably won't notice
Because, when your doing Seichi
you usually don't pay attention to how your oppenent is doing it
Afterall it's taken for given that neither side would do something dishonest
The game of Go is based upon the foundation of trust
Cheating at Seichi is the most inconsiderate act that takes advantage of that trust
And Hikaru is trying to let a kid like that in?
How can this guy bet 10,000yen with his skill?
There are a lot of old men who try to look cool with no real skills
Hey, boy
You think you've already won right?
Have you heard of the phrase
"You don't know the outcome of the match until it's over"
They also call it "Don't count your skins until you've gotten it"
Oh You laughed?
You can't laugh until it's over, during a match..
Thats nice
Right?
You seem to understand what I'm saying
You might make something out of yourself later
Hey kid, can you grab that ash tray there for me?
Thanks
Are you left handed?
You've got good eyes too, nice
Left handed?
Fine, it's still a little early...
But I'll teach you what an adult's Go is
At the price of 10,000yen
You think there's no way I can
catch up after this right?
But just you watch
The game's only just starting...
Sai...
Damn him
There
His hold on the stone's is so much better than earlier
I'm catching up now
Look, look, 5 moku there!
10 moku
15 moku
He moved a stone!
You have got to be kidding, where
The games turning around quickly
That stone wasn't there!? When?
What is it boy?
Did you miss something?
We're betting on the game you should pay more attention
Mitani...
That's right, you don't know till it's over
I can't do it... He's much better than I am...
and if he moves the stones around too..
Okay the games over, you know who's winning?
You can't win unless you tweak the Seichi
Your slow your slow
This guys doing the samething I've been doing
12 and a half moku difference with komi... I won
Hey boy, take out 10,000yen
Mitani..
Damn!
Is that all?
5,6,7...8...and
Your short 20yen
Mitani, I'll lend it to you
Hey, Shuu-san do you think you can lend me 20yen?
Mitani
Thanks
Hey boy
When you've cheated too much,
people like me get called in
Dake-san
Will you lend me 20yen?
Thanks much
Mitani
What is it with him?
Mitani
Wait
When did this place become an arcade
Mitani!
In result.. He learned his lesson
This may have been unavoidable...
People only learn from mistakes when they're hurt by them
But!
Sai, It was a trap
That guy played badly at the beginning to trick Mitani
But..
..That was too cruel
Can't we get it back for him!? The 10,000yen
Mitani's learned his leason already, but that guys..
Sai
I can't stay quiet anymore either...
We have to deal with people like that with a cold heart
Who do you think is the strongest player in Go history?
Well, the top right now is Touya-Meijin with 4 titles..
The strongest young player would be either Kurata 4 dan or Ogata 9 dan
I heard this one reporter asked a pro that question
and the pro that was asked
replied without hesitation: It's Honinbou Shuusaku from the Edo period
The Go from that period's stupid. It won't work at all these days
We'll give Mitani back the 10,000yen tomorrow
and ask him to come to the Go club again!
But Sai, can you win?
That guy looked really strong
I saw him earlier,
It's fine. We can win
What if he moves a stone?
I will catch it
You can tell him that you saw it
or to do a better job
What if he cheats at Seichi?
It won't go to Seichi, he will resign
It was just recently that he started cheating
When he was just making abit by betting, all the customers loved him
They gave him the money happily
as if they were giving it to their grandson
But you can't cheat... thats why I asked you to come
It's an adults duty to teach kids a lesson
Shuu-san, with the 10,000 I gave you
and the 20,000yen fee, gimme 30,000
He probably won't come...
Mitani-kun
He probably can't come...
How sad
call me when ever you need me
Well, I guess I'll wait for some prey now
What are you talking about, I don't need you anymore go home already
That's mean Shuu-san
Ojisan!
I'm a friend of his
If I win will you give me that 10,000yen back?
Then If you lose, you'll give me 10,000yen right?
Hikaru, it'll be fine
Then I can't do it, that's what a bet is afterall
Dake-san, stop picking on kids already
Boy, you should go home already too
Hikaru, I won't lose
Hikaru
Fine! I'll pay 10,000yen if I lose
Then I can play ya, sorry
Dake-san
I'm not giving you a handicap
I don't need one
You don't need it huh
Kids these days
You've seen my strength already
and how strong are you?
How strong? ummm...
about as strong as Honinbou Shuusaku
Thats a laugh! Of all the people Shuusaku huh?
If Shuusaku came out
The only person who can play him would be Touya-Meijin
I'm black
With respects to Shuusaku, I'll start with my left hand
lower right corner, Komoku
17-5
6-17
What will they do now?
Is everyone watching?
Strike 3
Even with 2 straight balls, you really can't hit it..
Oh he got one up
The attack was a little too simple
They had their way
wow, that ended quickly
Really, please stop doing things like this
It can't feel good to steal money from kids
That boy was stupid too for trying to play Dake-san
Okay Dake-san, please leave after drinking this
Dake-san
D-Dake-san this is!
H-Ho-Honinbou.... Shuusaku
Oh, there it goes
A home run! what a great hit
I'll give this to Mitani tomorrow, and ask him to come
That'll make 3, we can go to the tournament
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
