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
All I want? Really?
The name is...
S A I
Sai...
Okay, lets go
Match #16 Who is Sai!?
What's wrong?
He suddenly sent me a message in English
Where?
Let's see... Anata ha tsuyosugiru! Puro desuka? He said
That's incredible
This guy was to weak that's all
Do you want to reply?
No! No!
Then bring your cursor over here and click on it.
Look at the monitor, not me
Yeah
When you don't want to reply, just do that
Thanks
Dou itashimashite You are welcome.
It means your welcome
Foreigners are so much trouble
How peculiar
why can we play Go with so many people with a box like this?
don't ask me
But..
Come on out
Well then
Lets play a Japanese next
Be quiet
Given his nick and the way he speaks
I just thought he might be a child that's all
Hey Jerk off!! don't quit the game just because I killed a big cluster of stones! Moron
That guy, Okay, let's play him
Another game
I get to play more. right?
You look happy Sai. I get to play more. right?
You look happy Sai.
Well, of course
I'm so happy
I'll let you play for awhile, it's only summer break anyways I'm so happy
I'll let you play for awhile, it's only summer break anyways
I'm so happy, so happy I'll let you play for awhile, it's only summer break anyways
It's Japanese. He might be a child
A child!?
here...
Hikaru! please don't click the wrong spot this time!
Last game, half way through, you...
Like I said, I'm not used to computers
What the...
Who is this?
How is he Sai?
He's strong.. Stronger than anyone else
1-10
Coming from Sai that's gotta mean alot...
But look, he just resigned
He's strong
so he can accurately and quickly judge the situation
Knowing my strength
He probably decided that he couldn't do any more
The weaker an opponent is The lesser his ability to judge
And they continue a game that they've already lost
Just like the way Hikaru used to be
Shut up!
Mitani's sister
What is it this time?
Can you send "I'm strong aren't I?" to the other guy?
Sure,
but learn to do it yourself already okay?
OK
THANK YOU
The internet's so much fun
Who are you... I'm an 'insei'...
Insei?
Hikaru-Kun, can you find a place to stop soon?
My shift's almost over
I'm done, Thanks
So Zelda's an Insei..
He's aimed for the pros...
It's time for lunch
So please halt your game
What's wrong Waya-kun?
What are you thinking about?
Did you make a mistake in the first half?
No, I didn't! Quiet you!
Why am I so agitated? I'm in the middle of the pro examinations
Look at those wrinkles on his forhead
You're such a moron
It is a chance that comes along only once a year... You're such a moron
It is a chance that comes along only once a year...
Oh yeah, it concerns me too
Look, there's one guy that's all calm
Touya..Akira..?
Yes?
Thats..
I knew that Touya Meijin's son was taking the exam here but...
Not many people know how he looks...
That's it!
You didn't know?
I knew that he was Touya-Kun
Why?
Because he's my opponent today.
I don't stand a chance
A guy aimed at becoming pro shouldn't give up so quickly
B-But
Are the two of you Insei?
Yeah. It's my first exam this year.
It's the third for you Waya-kun, right?
don't "right?" me
I'm totally going to lose today
A loss on the first match
But your game isn't over!
Just make a come back against this guy
Waya-kun you're to irritated
Did something happen?
When I was playing Go over the internet yesterday
Someone really strong came and beat me
Given his strength, he's definitely a pro
And that guy said to me "I'm strong aren't I"
How can I not be irritated?
Would a pro really say that?
I'm not talking to you
Waya-kun, your being too loud
Damn, I'm gonna get three wins and pass out of the try outs
don't think about Sai
So this is Sai
What's your opinion on him as the American rep from last year?
Subarashii! I'd love to play him once
But, Sai gets so many challenges these days
It's hard to get a game
Well, Well, then watching like this is all we can do, I guess
The number of observers are increasing every day. People are starting to take notice of Sai
Master, is this person a pro?
probably not
A pro wouldn't play amateurs constantly like this
So he's not a pro...
If he's not a pro... who is he!?
He maybe the God of Go
The only time I played Sai he ignored my messages
no matter who I ask, they were all ignored
And no one has any information on Sai
The International amateur Go tournament is coming up...
If I go to Japan...
I might find out something about Sai
I first saw Sai in the beginning of July
I've seen him constantly since then...
But it's the middle of the day!
Dosen't this guy have a job!?
If you go everyday you'll...
July...August... Summer Vaction!?
Could it be!?
A child!?
Recently, the international skill level of Go has been rising steadily
And this year, we once again have more than 50 nations competing
This is clear proof of how much all of you enjoy Go
and dedicate yourself to it
I like to believe that one of our goals for the future
Is to contiuously explore new possibilities
Well then, 4 days from today
There'll be 8 matches, at two a day
Please enjoy them all you can
Sai... the mysterious player on the internet
When I first played him last month, I thought he was incredibly strong
Since then I've watched his games over and over...
He has... within the past month...changed...
Master, please figure out who Sai is for us
He's so cool! The ultimate player who lurks on the nets
I wish greatly to know about Sai, but there's no rush
I have to do my best in the tournament first
The most important goal is to bring the trophy back to China
I have to win, no matter what
I'll worry about Sai after that
Well then, please Nigiri
Well then, please begin
Mr. Morishita, thank you for coming as head judge for the next four days
It must be hard running this tournament
It's not a problem once it begins like this
But it's very difficult until all the players arrive here
Every nation has some problem with it
But I love this tournament the most
It shows how Go is spreading internationally
It's worth the effort
Waya!
teacher
Is he your student?
Yes, I called him to come help today
What kind of a face is that!?
The reason I had you come was to play the foreign players
who have finished their games
Even you might have a hard time against the strongest of the International amateurs
But the weaker ones still have much to learn
They came all this way, we should teach them as much as possible
He passed the tryouts for this year's pro examinations with 3 wins and a loss
That 1 loss was against Touya Meijin's son
Touya Akira-Kun!
I heard he was taking the exam this year
Hey, Don't you dare lose at the real thing
Teacher!
There's...
There's someone really strong...
Like I said. Touya Jr
Not that. On the internet!
Internet? Then it's a pro isn't it?
He's not a pro! He's there even during pro matches!
Then he's an amateur. There are strong amateurs too
Shimada-san, who's representing Japan today
plays pros evenly
He's stronger than that!
How much stronger?
He's stronger than you teacher.. I can't say that...
I don't care anymore
But really, amateurs are getting stronger these days...
Teacher, anyways, can you...
I'll listen to you some other time. We have work to do today
Excuse me
Yes?
I'm Waya, an Insei
Is there a computer with internet access that I could borrow?
Sure. Use that laptop over there
Thank you very much
He's not there...
Thank you very much for your help
You can leave it like that
Okay
I resign
Thank you for the game
Sai…
International amateur.. Japanese representative
Sai is Japanese.. could he be?
No, He's not Sai
Sai is stronger than that
But if he's that strong, there may be other people looking for him
Maybe there are people on this very stage who have played Sai, like me
Sai...
T-This person... he just..
Waya...
Come here for a sec
Okay
He's almost a pro
B-But I don't have time for this!
What are you talking about?
Just do it. Give him 6 stones
He's strong... But it's not him...
He's not Sai
Sai...
Where are you.. Sai
The happiness that I dreamed of 夢に見ていたシアワセなら
I thought someone would bring it to me 誰かが運んでくれると思ってた
Within this quick paced city, all I have are excuses... 急ぎ足の街で言い訳ばかり
and I lied to myself that everyone was doing the same みんなも同じとうそぶいてた
Are you really satisfied right now? 本当にキミはいま 満足してるの？
It was as if you saw straight through me 心の真ん中 見抜かれたようで
If i had not met you あなたと出会えなかったら
I would only have a false smile! 偽った笑顔のまま
I would only have had うわべの態度や言葉を
empty emotions and words 繰り返したね
With the power of your gaze あなたの瞳の力で
I will change from now on 私は変わってゆこう
In order to cast off 昨日の揺らいだ気持ちを
the uncertain feelings of yesterday…
