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
He's strong...
He's not Shindou!
I'll never appear before you again
W-wait! Touya!
If you keep chasing after an illusion of me
I'll pass you by eventually!
You?
Thanks for everything Mitani's sister
Hikaru-Kun?
I won't come anymore. Summer vacation is going to end soon too
Match #19 Hikaru's Strength
I can't go on the internet anymore...
I guess we have no choice, Sai you wanna play me?
Really!?
Hikaru you never mentioned that before!
That's because I didn't want to play you
I mean, I have to place stones for two people!
That's so much work
But Hikaru... You don't have a Go board in your room
Or Go stones
You...
Have gotten stronger
Really?
I thought so
You're not getting as large a handicap next time
Mitani, if you're giving up you should say I resign
Why you!
don't get cocky, I'm still better than you are
That doesn't matter
even with a handicap, a win is a win
What!?
Hey everyone! Ms.Tamako bought two sets of Go boards
and stones for us using the club budget
Go board and Go stones!?
They're foldable
It's like a toy. Well it is a toy
don't say that!
We have a new member!
Come in
Hi
Just a girl
What do you mean by "Just a girl"
Well, if it was a guy we'd be able to
Go to the tournaments even after Tsutsui-san graduates
Akari, I don't know anything
don't worry, I'll teach you everything
Who's going to teach what?
I'm going to teach Go!
I'm even going to Go class!
Serious!
Alone?
Yeeah
Why?
The Go club's going great
It's too bad I have to study for High school entrance exams
You can come play every now and then, right?
He's gotten strong over, summer break
Okay, let's play a game
Play me with no handicap!
Really?
Then Mitani-kun, teach us!
He said he'll teach us!
Oh yeah, Tsutsui-san
how much does a Go board and stones cost?
This probably wouldn't even cost about 10,000yen per set
That's expensive!
I guess I have no choice but to talk to Gramps
What are you talking about?
I heard.
Your playing Go?
You know?
yeah, it's been about a year now
And you're in the Go club at school?
yup!
And I came to ask you for something today
Ask me for something?
No! NO!
Your mother strictly told me not to give you money all the time
I don't want money!
I want you to buy me a Go board, Go stones too
A Go board!? You don't have one?
Okay!
It's my grandson's request, I'll buy you one!
A foldable one's fine, right?
I want one with legs!
If I beat you with no handicap, will you buy me one with legs?
N-N-No handicap!?
Who do you think I am!
Hows this
Champion of the third City Go tournament!
Winner of the 8th Go salon Grand prix!
Countless other wins as well!
Yeah, you showed me all that before
Come on, lets play already!
If you beat me in an even match
I'll even give you this Go board
What? A used board?
Quiet you! This is a good board!
Yeah! Gramps
What about that Go board in your shed
Oh that? From when you collapsed?
can't give you that
Why?
There's a rumor that a ghost with a tall hat appears from it
A ghost?
Though it's just a rumor
That Go board is something my brother bought
from an antique shop out of curiosity
Then when my brother died it was given to me as a memoir of him
But I've never seen a ghost like that even once
I'm with Hikaru right now
About a hundred years ago I was with Torajirou
Before that, I played within the palace in the capital
It's been a thousnad years since then
I am still before a Go board
How long will God allow me to continue with my selfishness?
Oh no! Don't!
All my stones are going to get captured!
yeah,
so you should have gone here instead of here earlier
Then can I take back my move?
Sure sure
Thanks mister!
Akota-san, you're so nice
Really, Akota-san's really changed since Fujisaki-san started to come
No it's not like that
Speaking of, how's Shindou-Kun doing?
He's fine, Hikaru seems to have gotten a lot stronger
Yes, Fujisaki-san's been here before with Hikaru-Kun!
Yeah
Hey, hey, Fujisaki-san you like Hikaru-Kun don't you?
N-Not really...
Come on! You wouldn't suddenly take up Go if you didn't
That's...
W-Well, ask Shindou-Kun to stop by here again sometime
Okay
What am I doing in a place like this?
Let's see
I think I'm lacking a bit
What is it gramps
Stop groaning, It's distracting
You said you've played for a year now?
Improving this much in just a year...
Well, you're really become strong
Really?
This is why you can't underestimate children...
Or actually you've got talent
Really!? Then I'm winning this!
No not at all, even if you don't make a mistake in the endgame
I'm still winning
Then I lost
Like I said, who do you think I am!?
I was the only one who beat Inoue-san from Kutsuwa city!
Who is that? No one knows him!
With legs... I guess it's okay
I'll get you one, the cheapest one
If that's all it takes to encourage you further It's a good buy
Really!?
I have a delivery!
Oh thanks
Hikaru! What are you doing! Are you okay?
5-50,000yen!? This!?
thank you Gramps!
Did you thank your grandfather properly?
Yeah, yeah
I had no idea he would continue Go for this long
What will we do?
What will we do What will we do?
What will we do?
It's nice having a Go board in my room
Hikaru! Let's play ! Let's play!
Okay! Okay!
It's so cool! New stuff's so good!
Hikaru, place all the handicap stones you want!
All I want?
Whats that!
I don't need any handicap!
Come on Nigiri!
Nigiri? But... Nigiri?
Oh man, Fine then you're white and I'm black.
Komi is 5.5 moku. Okay?
Sure
There we go
4-3!
Hikaru
Oh yeah, I'm placing it...
17-16
This is really alot of work
It'll be fine once you get used to it
You go over there! Over there!
Otherwise it's not a match at all
O-Okay!
I geuss this is fine
Go Sai
10-3
You placed it in the wrong spot
But 10-3 is over here
But this is...
I sat over here so that's this and this is that and...
Stop calling it out then!
Point out where you want to go with that!
Yeah, I guess this is fine
I guess this is fine
You jerk! I give up!
You're not holding back at all are you!?
Why you!
The first time you played Touya
you said it was a tutoring game and took it easy on him!
Come on Hikaru, one more game, one more game
Hikaru! Why are you raising a ruckus all alone? Be quiet
Ahhh! I resign!
Clean up the stones
But! Clean up? But...
hey Hikaru! Hikaru!
53...54...55
...56...I lose by 2 moku
yes! I beat Tsutsui-san giving him a 2 stone handicap!
Damn it!
I'm angry... Why do I have to study for High school?
Shindou-Kun's so much stronger... and Mitani's here..
and Fujisaki-san and Tsuda-san are here...
It's great! I want to keep playing here too!
Not just stopping by every now and then
If you keep getting stronger like this
The winter tournament's going to be great!
Though we'll need another member
I'll put up another poster, like last time
You haven't been playing as many stupid moves lately
I hope we don't experience what happened at the last tournament again
I resign...
Touya...
Thanks for the game
I resign
Thanks for the game
Oh, you want to play till the end?
I resign
Thanks for the game
We're going to win this time!
I can feel it myself, that I'm getting better!
What are you getting excited over?
Akota-san, that was a good move
Really? Yeah, don't you think so?
But Shindou-Kun's development is really astounding
Your Go club must have taught you a great deal
You're still a little weaker than me though, right Shindou-Kun?
How's this?
I guess this is it. Please drop by every now and then?
He can't hear me. What great concentration he has
Thanks teacher!
Thanks to you too Akota-san. It was fun!
Oh, wait! Hikaru!
Good-bye teacher!
Hey wait a second!
Be careful!
Teacher! The reason he made a comeback is because I underestimated him
I thought Shondou-Kun would be weaker and
because you complimented me on that move, I lost concentration and...
Akota-san
You didn't make any real mistakes
That last match, the comeback that he made, that is his real strength
It's not even a year since he started Go
Is his club sponsor that strong?
Or is Shindou-Kun that dedicated?
What is it Hikaru?
You really can't judge how strong your opponent is unless you're strong yourself...
Akota-san was really strong...
I finally understand that now
But Hikaru you beat that Akota-san!
Yeah! I'll beat Mitani too someday!
Oh well, If Hikaru was this strong at that last tournament...
Maybe Touya-Kun wouldn't have yelled out "Stop messing around"
He's...
He's not someone you can catch up to getting a little stronger
Yes! I beat Mitani at an even match!
I caught up! I caught up! I caught up to Mitani!
What are you talking about! You only won one game!
I want a rematch! a rematch!
Oh Yes!
Did you hear me Shindou? I want a rematch!
I thought he'd catch up eventually..
But he caught up to Mitani so quickly...
Maybe at the next tournament Shindou-Kun can make our goal...
Of defeating Kaiou come true...
Just maybe... He'll make it come true...
Hikaru, buying Manga again?
No, I need a reference book for English
You really can't help me with English
Of course not
Is it over here?
Kaiou's first board!
Wait
Do you have time?
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…
