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
Looks like you're not precise enough at counting
This next match, try to force a draw
Intentionally make the game a draw
Intentionally?
I heard about your four way game played this morning
But I...
No buts!
Don't waste your effort at a place like this!
Are you irritated about something?
No, I'm not
Don't worry! Don't worry!
No ones coming up to get you
But... He passed the preliminaries for the pro exam
You missed by one moku against me
One moku...
Even if he missed by one moku
He forced a draw on the other three right?
Isn't that good enough?
Yeah... more than enough
I've finally seen
Someone grow before my eyes...
Match #35 There is Only One Winner
Huh? Forced four draws!?
Hikaru it wasn't four
Ummm... I messed up one though
Yup
But it was like a game, it was a lot of fun!
After I cleared one, I went to two
After I cleared two, I went to three
I kept leveling up
Yup! Yup! I wanted to try too!
If it was me
I would've been able To do 5 or even 10 instead of just 4
But anyways, I tried out a lot of new stuff over the summer If I put my mind to it I can...
I'm sure I'm a lot stronger now
Oh? You're conifdent
Isumi-san, which Go salon are we going to today?
Yeah. I forgot about it until just yesterday
But, I'm thinking about going here
The person I played told us about it
This one time when Waya and I went to a Go salon together
Oh him!
Try going here
you want to play good players right?
Are you sure?
It might be some weird place
He looked scary
but he seemed nice
So we'll be fine
Sounds good! Let's go there!
I want to meet good players
He's changed alot
I wonder what the opponents await us today Hikaru
Yeah, I'm excited
Oh! thats it!
Okay. let's go
Oh I'm gonna go get a drink, wait for me
That sign...
That's...
Welcome!
Your total comes to 147yen
Thank you very much
Hey! You dropped that
Hey! Pick it up!
Damn it...
What's wrong with him
Hey! You!
You heard me right? Don't ignore me!
Why you!
Hikaru. There's probably a reason behind it. Leave him alone
But!
Hey Shindou!
Hurry up. What are you doing?
Nothing
Well hurry up
Man I'm pissed
What's wrong with him?
What is it?
Nothing!
Okay! I'm first board today!
U-Ummm...
What is it Shindou?
Isumi-san... This is...
Yes, most of the customers aren't Japanese
Don't just stand there, come on in
O-Okay
The guy from earlier!
Su-Young did something happen?
He suddenly started yelling at me in the store
What language are they speaking in?
It's Korean
Oh, they're Korean...
No wonder...
Yeah,
I understand why he told us about this place now
Oh...
So he just didn't understand my Japanese earlier...
Did he do something?
Oh, don't worry about it
Sorry about earlier
I feel bad about shouting at you
Su-Young
He honestly apologized. Say something back to him
This is the first time I saw a child enter a Go salon in Japan
I thought Go was already dead in Japan
Don't say that. Why don't you play against them?
Let me introduce you.
He's Su-Young, and he's 12
He's my nephew and he's visiting Japan from Korea
He plays Go?
Yes.
Su-Young is trying to become a pro in Korea
Oh...Pro!?
Then is he an Insei of the Korean Go Institute?
We're Insei too!
Oh! So you're all Insei!
Insei?
It's the equivalent of the Kenkyuusei
They're trying to become pro just like you, Su-Young
Pro?
Pro...
He must be walking the same path as Hikaru...
Oh? Japanese Insei?
Sounds interesting
Hong-kun play them
Isumi-san
Is this Korean Institute of Go like the Japanese Institute of Go?
Yes
Oh pros existed in Korea too
Shindou!
And? Is Korea any good?
You've gotta be kidding!
You don't know about Korean pros!?
Is it because you still think Japan's at the top of the world right now!?
Is that what you think so lowly of Korea!?
In that case you're a total moron!
What? What's he saying?
He's angry because you said something so tactless
Shindou... You should apologize
Japan fell from the top a long time ago
You're so stupid
How am I supposed to know about other countries?
I don't even know about Japan!
Don't brag, you idiot!
Korea... Korean Kenkyuusei...
Aren't as soft as you people!
Huh? Soft?
Japanese Insei just aren't on the same level as Korean Kenkyuusei
You'll know how soft we are if you play us
Shindou, calm down
Su-Young...
Three wins two losses
One of which is a win by defualt...
Ogata 9dan and Touya-kun were concerned about him but...
Maybe he'll get better...
What is it?
Oh the pro exam preliminaries
Is there someone taking it that you have your eyes on?
Yeah. Maybe he'll get better...
Speaking of new players, Korea keeps getting better
Look at this. The Japan-Korea New Players Tournament
Yeah, Japan did horribly
China is strong too
Japan's lost every match in the Japan-China Shuuei Tournament
Though master
Touya did win in the Japan-China Tengen match
We were so close on the Japan-Korea survival tournament
Just when we thought Master Kaji would win
Korea made a comeback
Korea is just to strong...
Amano-san
The pictures are done
What's wrong?
There's no reason to get depressed because Japan's doing poorly
Miss Kinouchi
had an overwhelming victory in the Japan China women's tournament
And you haven't forgotten Mr.Kurata's performance at last years Japan-Korea matches right?
I haven't forgotten
But Japan is losing overall
Well, we may be right now...
The Go world is just too depressing
If there aren't any good young players...
Yeah, we need new players
A new wave to follow Kurata 6dan
Shindou Hikaru... Let's see if he transforms...
Into a respected Go player of Touya Akira's class
I'll find out how soft you are once I play you?
It'll be more fun for me to play the customers here than to play you
What!?
He said it'll be more fun to play me than you
Well why don't we play a game then?
Wait a second!
How can you say that with out even playing me!?
Stop shouting, you're so annoying
You're that scared of losing to me!?
Hey you! You've said too much
Hong-kun play him
Teach him what Go is like in Korea
Oh, fine
Okay. Sit down
I'll play a tutoring game with you
Tutoring game?
Su-Young
Shindou!
I don't want to play a tutoring game!
Hikaru...
Shindou
Come on Nigiri!
That's the spirit!
Waya...
It'll be fun! A Japan Vs Korea Insei match!
What is it? What's starting?
Hong-kun is playing an even match!?
Shindou's white...
Don't lose, you're repressenting Japan!
You're not a match to me
I'm on the top half amongst the highly competitive Korean Kenkyuusei
Who's Hong-kun playing?
His opponent's an Insei from the Japanese Go Institute
I'm strong
I can't possibly lose to a Japanese Insei
You don't know about Korea?
I can't tell how soft you are without playing?
A Japan Vs Korea Insei match?
Sounds interesting
Not something you see everyday
Go Hong-kun!
Crush the Japanese Insei!
Oh wow, everyones gathering around
We're like supporters for the away team...
Though we are in Japan...
I'll show you how strong I am
I'll show you!
And then
Leave this place!
Let's go!
He's good
No wonder he's a Kenkyuusei at Korea
Yeah, but Shindou's doing well too
Umm...
How strong is Hong-kun among the Kenkyuusei?
There are ten classes in Korea
10 People per class
Every month the four lowest ranked students drop down a class
And the four highest ranked students rise a class
Su-Young consistently rose through the classes
Everyone around him thinks he will soon become a pro
He must be exceptional
But
He's hit a road block...
He dropped a class for the first time
That seemed to discourage Su-Young
He dropped down another class in the next month
He failed the pro exam this month too...
So he's parents thought
They should give him a break
And sent him over here
What about you guys?
There are two classes, and we're at the top of first class
You're not at the same level
There are far more children trying to become a pro in Korea than in Japan
They're much stronger than in Japan
Of course! We all know how strong Hong-kun is!
Damn it
I know Korean players are strong
but man this is annoying
Go Shindou!
Win the game, and show them how strong Japan is!
Su-Young isn't just any child...
But can Su-Young beat him right now?
It's not a matter of skill...
Hong dropped a class
This is the first time right?
Maybe that's why he's been so irritated lately
Hey Hong, don't give up so easily
This game is so stupid
I don't feel like playing anymore
Man I'm pissed
Damn it. I don't care anymore
And I keep losing with this state of mind...
Damn this is stupid
Hong dropped another class this month
I wonder how far he's going to go down
Your Go isn't what it should be Hong
Shut up!
Hong!
I lost..
I'll drop...
I'll lose again...
Who cares? I don't care anymore
I'm pissed...
It's like I've forgotten how to win
What am I doing?
I can't let my guard down from any of his moves
He's stronger than I thought
But I can't afford to lose here
You!
If I lose to you, I'll remember your name!
Yeah, I'll make you remember!
Well said, Shindou!
Su-Young
He's finally looking straight at the game
Let's make him remember...
The name Shindou Hikaru!
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…
