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
Zelda…
He's Japanese, he might be a child
Child?
Who is this!?
Well Sai, how is he?
He's strong. Stronger than anyone we've played so far
Master, is he 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!?
Maybe he is the God of Go
The International amateur Go tournament is coming up.
If I go to Japan...
I might find out something about Sai
Could he be?
A child!?
He's strong... But he's
He's not Sai
Match #17 The Match of Revelation
I resign
Do you play Go over the internet?
Are you talking about Sai?
Are you Sai?
Sai...
Is Sai here?
Did someone say Sai?
You're Sai aren't you?
No
Another player asked me this mornig if I was Sai
Then...
I'm not. Who is this Sai?
We don't know who he is
Who are you?
You played Sai?
Yes
He was very strong
I sent him a message asking him who he was, but I was ignored
I was hoping that he would be here
I played him a month ago too
But given my skill, I didn't stand a chance
I've never played Sai, but I've seen his games. I watch his games constatnly
I played Sai. About 10 days ago
He suddenly appeared this summer
He's so strong that his rumor spread like wildfire
He gets challenged by everyone across the world
Everyone asks the same question "Sai to ha nanimonoka?"
Sai? It has to be.
They're all talking about Sai
Please quiet, there are still people in the middle of a match
Exactly who is he!?
He's no ordinary player
People
Whats wrong?
They're muttering something about the internet
Internet?
Oh yes, Waya Said something about that too
Did something happen?
Mr. Ogata
Long time no see Mr. Ogata
You know Shimano?
Yes, he used to come to the Meijin's study sessions often
I came to pay my respects today
Akira-Kun will be here momentarily
But it seems rather chaotic in here
Yes, something about someone really strong on the internet
Strong?
He calls himself Sai
Strong?
Nice to meet you, I am Li Lishin from China
I played Sai and resigned
Then is he a pro?
I doubt it,
Sai appears often, and doesn't choose his opponent
A pro wouldn't waste time like that
Sai...
I'm Kim, from Korea.
I haven't met Sai directly
But before I came here
I was contacted by my friend Yun 7dan
I just played Sai.
Please find out who Sai is when you go to Japan
Because Sai is definitely their top pro
No, he can't be a pro
Then, exactly who did he lose to!?
Who within any of our nations did he lose to!?
Excuse me... umm...
What do you think you're doing Waya
But your talking about Sai
I can't keep out of it
You've played him too?
I just told you!
Someone who's really strong, but isn't a pro
Thats him, Sai
Oh yeah...
Who is he?
He's Morishita-san's student
What kind of player is he?
What kind of player?..
I played him a month ago...
But with his playing style...
He reminded me off Shuusaku
Shuusaku!?
Honinbou Shuusaku!?
I replay Shuusaku's games alot,
so I thought they were kinda similar
He seems that strong and...
I watched his games a couple of times after that...
Really, over and over...
He's always there...
and I thought he was incredible...
and he gets stronger every time I watch him...
his style is changing...
As if Shuusaku learned modern Joseki
Shuusaku!? Learn modern Joseki!?
This is fun Sai
Only I can see you...
Is he a God?...
But within this box, you exist
Fujiwarano Sai exists
Or a demon?...
Honinbou Shuusaku exists
A Honinbou Shuusaku that lurks among the nets...
I'd like to play him once...
Is something the matter?
Touya-Kun
The tournament hall seems...
It doesn't concern you
You're...
Akira-Kun, have you ever played Go over the internet?
I've played a pro from Kansai...
But why...
It seems that there's someone really strong on the net
He's an amateur
but even a Korean pro lost to him
Someone strong on the net?.
Like I Said it doesn't concern you
Waya! Why you being so cententious
No reason
I hear his nickname is Sai
Sai...
Teacher, I thought
Sai might be a child
A child?
Impossible
What makes you think that?
Why?
Because, he appeared in early July, and he's been around since
I think that's because it's summer vacation,
And he sent me a message saying
I'm strong aren't I?
That's really childish
What? You've talked with Sai?
What did you talk about!?
One at a time
A child...
Do you have any ideas?
No I don't
If you're thinking of him, your mistaken
And I thought I saw the Hand of God in you...
Everyone
You can access the net through this
Akira-Kun
Sai may be there
I'd like you to check
He's there
Another resignation! We win again!
Sai,
it feels great with you playing, cause you win them all
That last one wasn't very strong
But there are some very hard opponents in this box
Yeah seems like it
Akira?
Damn, why do I get so many challenges?
Let's reject this
back to the screen
Akira...
Is it Touya?
Probably not
Not another guy
Gimme a break
Not again! I just rejected one
One after another!
Why don't you take a breather
This?
Service
thank you Mitani's Sister
Hikaru, were back to that picture again
Let's try it
Sai…
sent a challenge...
He accepted the challenge...
Wouldn't it be great if it was Touya?
He wanted to play you...
I want to let him play...
Even if he doesn't know that it's me
I can grant his wish...
Wanna test him?
Whether he is Touya or not
What are you going to do?
Take black please
I took it
Then let's do it
First move 17-4
17...4...
White played to the star on the top left
16-17
White played to 4-17
We'll go to 15-3
White's not moving
Is he thinking?
He's attacking the lower right, Sai next move
So far
he's made the same moves as last time
Last time?
Sai this is...
Yes.. the second match against him when I cut him in two
It's the match from then
Okay, next is 15-16 Kosumi
He's not moving...
Maybe he's not moving because it is Touya
Perhaps his hand has stopped because he recalls that game
It can't be...
That means Touya's realized it's me!
Thats bad
It can't be...
He played Shuusaku's Kosumi against you...
Akira-Kun
It can't be...
What's wrong?
Why isn't he moving?
Look
He went to the same place as last time
Sai! This is bad!
If he finds out that it's me playing were in trouble
What should we do!?
Is his opponent right now that strong?
Excuse me
Yeah
Come on Sai
make moves different from last time from here on out
Then lets try 4-14, Two space High Kakari
I wonder if we fooled him...
Probably
I wonder if he really is Touya
He's thinking
He resigned
Akira-Kun!
Why did you resign?
If we continue playing
It'll disrupt the tournament
I'll request a rematch on a different day
Why you...
A rematch on another day?
Mitani's sister
Whats wrong?
Will you be here tomorrow
Sorry.
I'm going to go on a trip with afew friends tomorrow
The next time I'll be here is Sunday
Then, can you type in "This Sunday at 10AM" to this guy?
Why don't you learn to do it yourself
This Sunday...
It's unfortunate, we will have returned by then
You'll accept it?
Please excuse me for today
Shimano-san...
Who is that child?
He is the son of japan's top players, Touya-Meijin
But, why did Sai challenge him to a game?
Sai rarely sends challenges to other people...
A rematch on Sunday?
He accepted it without hesitation?
It's the first day of the pro exams
Are you trying to say that you don't care if you lose a match?
So some mysterious player is more interesting?
Damn..
Oh well, so we still don't know anything about who Sai is
If you find out anything about Sai, please contact me
Me too
Touya-Meijin's sons is taking the exam this year
How many times have you taken it now?
don't mention that.
If I don't become pro this year
I should probably give it up...
He's not comeing...
It doesn't matter if he loses the first match
Man that guy pisses me off
Touya Akira hasn't arrived yet...
Everyone's working hard for the pro exams
He dosen't know how hard it is to come here
Damn him!
Well, please begin your match then
Good luck
Good morning Shindou-Kun!
It sure is raining hard today
Sorry, I gotta hurry
Okay let's go!
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…
