On this eye, this eye on yours この瞳君の瞳に
Everything will appear 映るどんなモノも
I will tell apart the truth 見極めて見せるよ 真実を
We had so many dreams 僕達はこの時代に
In this time we live in どれだけの夢抱えて
We stare at it and run towards it 涙して迷いながら
Even as we wander about crying それに賭けてみてるの
Even then, I won’t hesitate to move 僕は それでも人にひけとらぬような
I’ll decide, stare at it, and grasp it in my hands 決め手見つけ 夢を手にするだろう
On this eye, this eye on yours この瞳君の瞳に
Everything will appear 映るどんなモノも
I’ll tell apart, just the truth 見極めて見せるよ 真実だけ
Even if the truth is たとえ現実が
So harsh it’s suffocating きつく埋もれそうでも
In a place like this こんな場所で終わる
I’m not myself 僕じゃない
If you calm your emotions and play normally, you win
If you play with stirred emotions, you lose
I calmed down with those 30 minutes
While you became upset
He's completely been overwhelmed
There's no way he can win like this
I win by 4 and a half moku!
Thanks for the game...
Match #32 The Last Day of the Preliminaries
Please begin
Good luck
Hikaru...
You're still not relaxed today...
If you lose control of your mind
The thought behind each of your moves begin the break apart
Now that I think about it, You were like this during the Insei examination too
You couldn't play the way you usually do
An your moves become rushed, you went in too deep
It's time for lunch
So please halt your clocks
Hey!
Let's go eat lunch! Lunch!
I bought lunch this morning!
What for?!
You're not going to finish it, Shindou-Kun?
Just as I thought, Shindou isn't doing well
If he loses today, he'll be at the end of the ropes with 2 losses
Mind my own business
Hikaru, Umm,Umm...
Shut up! I'm trying to think right now
I resign...
How did you do!?
I got my second win!
What?
Looks like you got your second loss
You're at the end of your rope!
Hikaru, is this okay?
What?
I mean, it's almost time for the pro exam
You already have 2 losses. Are you sure you should be here?
It's okay.
I'll go in as late as possible
So that I don't meet Tsubaki
In order to get a win!
My opponent today is Fuku
I've only lost to Fuku twice out of all the games we played for fun
And all the games during the study sessions
I should be able to beat Fuku if I play normally
Fuku is probably desperate being one and one
But if I play normally I won't lose!
Play normally...
That becomes harder the more desperate you become
Okay!
Please begin
Shindou-Kun!
What's wrong!?
That doesn't matter, go sit down already
Okay
You came in at the last minute
Sorry
The clock's already started
Okay
Good luck
Don't let your feelings take control, Hikaru
I don't understand it at all
That's like speaking To someone who's asleep!
But
Didn't he say something earlier about giving him money so that he can take the pro exam?
The Insei's take it for free
Ahh, I see
He asked to take a day off of school awhile ago too
He said he told his teacher already
I thought he was too into it back then
I thought I'd ask you dad
About what it's like to be a pro player
No, I don't know anything either
Though I do like Go
What did Masao say?
He said
It's hard to become a pro no matter who it is".
He'll probably drop the exam.
Let him do what he wants
I agree with him
Just let Hikaru do what he wants for now
It feels like Hikaru's changing...
I feel uncertain
Why does Hikaru want to become a pro all of a sudden?
He lost to a boy his age by alot at Go
And he was given up on
He looked disappointed
and became pro
So I want to make him look back at me
Yeah! The eyes he had when he first came to me
I'll make him turn those eyes to me!
How fortunate that the opponent is someone you're used to playing
You're back to you're normal self
It's time for lunch, So please halt your game
You're already in the end game?
Do you want to play to the end?
Yes
Okay
I was worried for Shindou-Kun because he got 2 straight losses
but he's playing the way he usually does
I have 50 moku
I have 59 moku
I won...
Thanks for the game
Thanks for the game...
Yes! One win!
One win? Shindou-Kun you lost twice!?
Oh you didn't know?
I would've been out if I lost
I'm so glad I won
Oh yeah... Now Fuku you're on and 2 just like me
Yeah
Sorry. I'm going to go home
I don't want to bump into that hairy godzilla
Is that why you came at the last minute this morning?
Yeah
Are you going to come at the last minute tomorrow too?
We're going to have drawings again tomorrow
I know!
It makes sense for the winner to record the game
I'd hate to mark down my own losses
Fuku... Fuku...
and then my win...
Three and a half moku...
And one more!
I'll grab a win again tomorrow!
Tomorrow...
you have 2 losses still tomorrow. That won't change
I resign. This is it
Jinryuji-san lost!
Who is that kid?
You're not going to tell me that you're a pro right?
No, I'm an Insei
Playing at a Go salon like this occasionally
Is good practice
Oh, an Insei
Here to practice...
I have a friend who's a pro
According to him, if the age limit for the exam wasn't 30
I could take it too
You're strong enough! He told me,
but seems like he was just being polite
Sorry I didn't put up much of a fight
No, thank you very much
Over here mister, you played here
If you had kosumi'd here
I would have been in trouble
I see...
Waya, are you done?
Want to go?
yeah
Hold on a second
Try going to this Go salon
You want to play good people right?
Thank you very much
Playing at a Go salon is fun
But the smoke is...
Want to play at my house, Waya?
Hey Isumi-san, let's stop by the Institute
To see the pro exam preliminaries?
Today's the third day
Let's go see if Shindou's risen up with 3 straight wins
What!? Waya and Isumi-san dropped by afterwards yesterday?
Yup. In the afternoon, to check the match records
When I told them that Fuku and Shindou finished in the morning and went home
Waya said "Those 2 always play so quickly"
We used a lot of time that game for Fuku and I
The people with 3 wins and 3 losses are gone
And all the people left are people who are 1-2 and 2-1
Waya said "Shindou that idiot, what is he doing?"
It's not just you Shindou
I have 2 losses
Fuku has 2 losses... It's really bad
Morning!
morning!
To think, Iijima-kun got 3 wins
Oh yeah! Where's Tsubaki!?
The beard guy got 3 wins and moved on
Oh, So he's not here
Well then, we'll begin the drawings
Please come forward to draw a number when your name is called
If you've already played your opponent
Please say so, we'll redo it
If 2 people with 2 losses play each other. One of them will fail
Let's begin now
That move he played now
It seems like a good move, but It's a failure
If Hikaru responds correctly...
It ends here
I resign
Yes!
Like I said! If you had only played like that on the first day!
But nooo you were afraid of the bearded guy and you lost
Shut up already But nooo you were afraid of the bearded guy and you lost
I'm so angry! Shut up already
I'm so angry!
Fuku won too
Now Fuku and I are both 2-2
Will you mark me down too?
Oh you won?
Yeah, By resignation.
I'm so glad
Nase is 2-2 too
We might play each other tomorrow
There will be less people too
I'll go watch the other games
It's finally the last day of the preliminaries...
I'll take... a win tomorrow too!
2 boards... this decides everything...
Ummm...
Morning
looks like everyone's here
There are five people with 2-2
2 of us will...
We'll begin drawing the pairings
Fuku and Shindou-Kun have played each other on the third day
Anyone else played someone here?
No right!
Then if Fuku-kun is playing Shindou-Kun
We'll redo it
Everyone please come forward and draw a number
I'm B
I'm B too
Your name?
Hirabayashi
Let's see, Hirabayashi and Fuku-kun
I'm A
Nase-kun and Matsui-kun
Shindou-Kun you don't have an opponent and you win by defualt
Win by... defualt...
YAHOO! I won without playing
I'm so lucky!
It's the opposite! You're unlucky!
Hikaru, you need to play as many games as you can!
Really?
You're going to play that bearded guy again!
I still have a month till the exam!
I'll train! I'll train!
Train? How?
Ummm... I'll think about it when I get home
Think about it now! Now!
Ahh you're so annoying
Oh yeah, Morishita 9dan's study session is this afternoon...
I don't want to go home only to come back again
Wanna play on a magnet Go board to kill time?
~Wai~ I'll play! I'll play!
Shindou and the other guys with 2 losses...
If they won yesterday, they should still be there
If they have 3 losses, they would've failed yesterday
And they wouldn't be here today
If he failed...
Shindou might not come to the study session today
Fuku and Nase and the outsiders are the only ones playing
Did Shindou fail?
Sh-Shindou!
Hairy Godzilla!?
You lost because of that?
Y-Yeah
Even if it was by defualt, you made it to the exam
That's good
But really
I thought you'd come up with 3 straight wins
I didn't think you'd get defeated by a hairy godzilla
But... I just kind of got angry and...
Okay!
The next time Isumi-san and I go to a Go salon
You come to
Go salon?
You're going to play against people like that hairy godzilla
You've got to get used to it by the exams
They should be done by now
Let's go check
Yeah
Hey mom? It's me
Yeah, it just ended
Yeah, I won
Thanks
Sure
Waya-kun
Fuku, how was it?
I won!
Yes
Yes! All 3 of you made it to the exam!
Man, you really had me worried
Who cares! We won!
Yeah
What are you talking about?
Just yesterday you were going
Where's the hairy godzilla? Where's the hairy godzilla?
In fear
You didn't have to say that!
Ahh..
Wait...
Oh well, Wait...
Oh well,
I'm just glad you won
These feelings I want to tell you Are spilling out right now 伝えたい想いが今 溢れているよ
But I’m hesitating, not knowing how to put it into words 言葉にできなくて戸惑っている
So many seasons passed by since we met 出会いから 数えきれぬ季節が巡り
I miss that time we stayed up all night talking 語りあかした夜がなつかしいよね
As I walk towards my dreams I learn what vanity is 夢へ近づくたびに 儚さを知ったよ
Let’s start each of Our departure here それぞれの旅立ち ここから始めよう
I’m not like I was before 今までの僕達(ぼくら)とは違う
I won’t give up anymore, I’ll keep on walking もう負けない 歩き出していくよ
No matter what the future is どんな未来へでも
So that I can become stronger 強くなれるように…
