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
A gap of 12 and a half moku with komi
I win
Hey boy, now take out the 10,000yen
Match #12 You Are The 3rd Board
I came to the Chem lab just like you asked me to
Now gimme 10,000yen
Not until you agree to join the Go club
You will join right?
Yeah I'll join the club
I can't go back to that Go salon anyways
Gimme my 20yen back!
Let's play
10,000yen?
With no betting
We are just a Go club after all
Can I take white
I don't care
No cheating, okay Mitani?
Maybe
Mitani!
Tsutsui-san
Mitani said he'll join the Go club
and that he won't cheat anymore
What?
Are you still angry about how I tricked you into making 2 consecutive moves?
Thats your own fault for being stupid enough to fall for it
I heard from Shindou-Kun
You were cheating at Seichi?
That's not all
I moved stone's, or hid stones in my pocket
and used them at Seichi
I don't lose
They're just words! He just says stuff like this, It's the way he is
Hikaru
Oh, Mitani-kun
What is it?
I made cookies today during Home Ed, want some
Heres some for you, Tsutsui-san
Can I have some? I'm hungry
Sure, if you stop cheating
Did you tell everyone?
But it's true isn't it?
I only told Tsutsui-san and Akari
You won't right?
I won't, I won't
Here Hikaru
Thank you
Great, now we can go to the tournament
Tournament?
I'm not going to that
W-What?
I dragged you here for the tournament
None of my business
Your on our team
It's been decided
No
No, NO's
Tsutsui-san..
say something
There's no need to force him to go when he doesn't want to
But...
It'll be impossible to find someone else now
We dont have any time left before the tournament
Whats going to happen to our goal of beating Kaiou?
It's not like we can beat them even if he joins
Kaiou's really strong
It's just a Jr High club, right?
You don't stand a chance against Kaiou
but Tsutsui-san you won against Kaiou at the last tournament
But only because he made a mistake
What?
I don't stand a chance against a guy like that?
Want me to beat them for you?
Mitani...
Your going to go to the tournament
I'll beat them before your very eyes
You don't know how strong they are
I told you
I don't lose
Let's start
That can't be
Does he intend to cheat against Kaiou?
Kaiou would realize
If that happens...
What will happen to Haze Jr. High Go club?
This is terrible
I resign
Thanks for the game
Mind If I don't discuss the game?
I should make it clear
The tournament is coming up
Mr.Yun Should be announcing the team members soon
I'd better display the difference in strength between Touya and I
So no one complains when he announces
Touya!
Yes?
Let's play a game
It's our first game, do you mind if we make it even?
Sure
Sempai
Are the first, Second and third boards for the tournaments decided by strength?
There are teams where it's not, but usually is
Concentrate on your own games
Okay
Shindou... Almost
I'll almost...
Catch you!
Touya, the tournament registration form has arrived from Haze Jr High
Take a look at it
Shindou is the third board?
Sometimes, they don't decide the boards by strength for stragic purposes
That Mitani is probably the weakest in the group
By throwing away the first board
They probably plan on definitely taking the other two
Since, Tsutsui is in his third year, and the president, he's the second board
Leaving Hikaru at third probably
Teacher, please make me our third board
Teacher!
Let me think about it
I do think that you are the only person who can play Shindou
Thank you!
I resign
Thank you for the game
I didn't stand a chance
Not at all
You were far better than I thought
You were just to good
you saw far deeper than I did
Perhaps I tried to control the center too much
It probably won't work because of all the discontinues in your stone formations
I connected here in my desperation
and I was constantly on the defensive after that
You wouldn't let me do anything
It was correct of me to give up on trying to become pro
Everyone, listen up for a second
Most of the registration forms from the other schools have arrived for this tournament
Sorry I'm late, but I'll announce our team for it
First the boys
First board:
First year, Touya
Second board:
Third year, Kishimoto
Third board:
Third year, Kuno
Now the girls...
Teacher!
Weren't you going to make me third board!?
Teacher!
Good morning Mr.Kuwabara
Oh, I haven't seen you in awhile
Perfect, let me talk to you for abit then
The Gosei match next month, I'm going to be challanging you for it
I wish you luck
I'm aware of it
You crushed Ogata-kun with your strength
At your age too, I'm astonished
Come now, you're hardly young yourself
How many titles do you have now? 4,5?
I'd like the one you have for my fifth
But really, the young people disappoint me
Even if they manage to get a title, they lose it right away
No really astounding new comers lately either
Are the Insei's getting weaker?
How is your son doing?
He's not an Insei right?
he plays me regularly, and he plays any pro that visits us
He's not lagging behind in his study of the game
He's not taking the pro exams?
No
He's in the Go club of his Jr.High right now
When I heard that you joined the Go club at Kaiou, I didn't say anything
The principal told me that your pressence would encourage the club
So I let you do as you wish...
But, why are you going to the tournament?
It's unbefitting for you to go to Jr.High tournament
I don't care about the people around me right now
If Shindou Hikaru is going to a club tournament
Then I'm going to follow him there
Father, it may sound arrogant...
But my goal is you, Father
I've progressed towards that goal steadily until now
I thought I just had to walk straight towards you
I thought that walking straight would place me closer to the Hand of God
But I was wrong...
I couldn't do a thing, Against Shindou Hikaru
He's different from Father, or Ogata-san
His presence is a weight upon me
Right now, he is the only thing on my mind
He's facing the obstacle despite his fear...
That's the only way a person can grow
It was something you didn't have before
Chasing while shivering, challenging while fearing
Only through that can you approach the Hand of God
Teacher!
Were you not going to make me third board!?
You said yourself that only I stand a chance against him
I..
I... joined to fight
Touya...
This is a Jr.High club activity
I believe that the strongest person should play first board
Teacher!!?
Thats not all!
The Go club of Kaiou is a model for other schools
I did say that you're the only one who stands a chance against Shindou Hikaru of Haze
But...
This is a place of education
I will not bend my will as an educator
You are the first board.
But...
Just once..
Just this one tournament is all...
Once this tournament is over, I'll quit the club!
Teacher, I...!
Teacher
Touya...
Hey, Mitani
Great I thought you might not come, out of fear of Kaiou
You have to be kidding
Nothing good can come of that black formation running
If that runs, the other group of black will get captured
Shut up!
Tsutsui-san
Mitani, why'd you cheat if your that strong?
There they are
Akari! You didn't have to come
You wouldn't understand even if you watched
I would!
Lately Tsutsui-san's been teaching me lately
I know how to capture stones and count territories
What! But I made lunches for all of you
Your wonderful!
Hey, Mitani-kun...
Fujisaki-san, I'll show you to the room where you can drop that off
Thanks
Mitani, Lets play
Pass
Will it really be alright like this?
Oh, It's Shindou of Haze
Shindou?
Haze?
He won against Kaiou at the last tournament
He was only a 6th grader, but he participated as a Jr.High
and everyone watching was astounded by his play
This is a problem...
Don't worry about that
just try your best
yup, thats right
My best, My best!
First, I'll beat the third board of the first round..
Is it really that simple Hikaru?
He'll be trying his best too...
Come on, my target is Kaiou
I can't afford to lose the first round
Then if I do my best up against Kaiou...
Maybe...
Kaiou's third board will try his best too, Hikaru...
Man! I can't wait for the match against Kaiou
I wonder who Kaiou's third board is...
It's me...
Kaiou's third board is me...
Shindou
Touya
Why are you here
Do you remember saying that you won't play me?
And that you were going to the Go club tournament?
I finally arrived
Touya
You came all this way...
Chasing... Sai?
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 もう 何も何も コワクナイ
