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
You seem to be concerned about Shindou
Is there something about him?
You'll be playing Shindou on the last day right?
If you'd like
I can come here until then whenever I can
You just want to see how strong Shindou is by using me!
I've got to wok extra hard this year
I have to graduate this year after all
You'll be playing Isumi-san tomorrow
It's your turn, Sai
You'll lose if you don't pay attention to the game
Hikaru, your opponent for today is here
Match #39 The Dead Moment
The Twelth Match of the Pro Exam Finals
Morning
Y-y-yeah...
What, y-yeah?
But...
It's important match to both Isumi-san
Who undefeated, and myself, who has won lose
Only three people can pass the pro exams...
Morning...
I guess it can't be helped that you're both nervous
Let's go to the match hall, Sai
Okay
Okay! I'm going to grab another win today!
Yes
If I lose today... I'll have two losses...
I want to stay at one loss
Isumi-san hasn't played the rest of them yet either
With Hikaru's match today
The top players are going to start playing each other
It's time, so please go to the match hall
I still haven't played Honda-san, Adachi-san, Waya, or Ochi yet
I'm going to gain some momentum by beating Isumi-san today!
Hikaru, thats the spirit
Good morning
please get started
I'm going to grab another win...
A win
What are you looking at?
Did you write something on your hand?
I-It's nothing
Please begin
A match between someone undefeated and someone with one loss...
I don't need Iijima or Komiya to tell me
I know that Shindou's getting stronger
But I am confident that I'm stronger than Shindou
Would you have preferred ice tea?
Oh, thank you
It's already the 12th match
Not as many people are in the running now
You're right
I think it may be difficult for some people to pass
I wonder how the top players are going to do
There was a match between someone who's undefeated and someone with one loss today wasn't there?
The undefeated boy is Isumi-kun. And he's strong enough to be the number one Insei
But just being the top Insei doesn't guarantee that you pass right?
No, it doesn't
Last year Isumi-kun...
They always trip up somewhere...
Not everything goes well even if your strong
That happens sometimes
There are some boys who pass the wall easily because they have some momentum
Mashiba-kun was like that last year
But anyways
Losing confidence is the worst thing you can do
Oh, look at the time
I'll go get the lunches we ordered
Yes, please do so
It's time for lunch so please halt your clocks
You still have a good chance Hikaru
I know
Shindou...
So Isumi-san's black
Shindou's at a bit of a disadvantage
But they haven't progresed at all
Isumi-san's already used more than half his time!
Isumi-san, you're done already?
Yes
The atmosphere gets so gloomy
When the finals are half way through
They're all facing their critical games soon
I'm gonna go get some fresh air
It's already hot outside today
You sound like an old man Isumi-san
One, two
Shindou...
One, two
Okay, now stick your arms out forward
Yeah!
One, two
Hey, Sai I've had enough
No! You have to do some strecthing and clear your mind
I can't win against you
I can't win? He's giving up already?
I guess Isumi-san is going to win afterall
Okay! Hikaru say it out loud energetically!
One, two
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
I'll be playing Isum-san tomorrow One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
I'll be playing Isum-san tomorrow
But I have to win my match today before that
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
One, two,... three, four
Isumi-san
I looked at your match clock
You seem to be playing very caustiously
What's so strange about playing caustiously against Shindou? He only has one loss
You're not scared of him are you?
What is it all of a sudden?
I was wondering if you had an over inflated opinion of Shindou too Isumi-san
Are you talking about how Iijima and Komiya said that Shindou's gotten stronger?
Shindou is stronger than them
So what's surprising about them saying that?
It's not just them
I met Touya Akira the other day
Touya!?
I learn Go by calling pros to my house
My grandpa called Touya Akira the other day
All he asked me about was Shindou
As if he wanted information about a rival
When I told him, that the last time I played Shindou was three months ago
He said "that's far in the past"
What do you think Isumi-san?
Isumi-san
Far in the past? That may be right
He has...
He forcefully made himself third board to play me
Forcefully?
That's the kind of guy he is
It's true!
I'm his and he's my rival!
Everyone thought that it was just the new kid making up a story to make himself look bigger
When Touya was looking at Shindou's match during the Wakajishisen
I thought he just happened to be looking at the match behind him
But now, Ochi is saying that Touya Akira kept asking about Shindou
Then does Touya really think of Shindou as his rival?
It can't be
No, I thought it may be true
Ever since I saw the match between Shindou and Hong Su-Young
That move that everyone thought was a mistake
That bad move Shindou made
He made it for the fight on the top left!?
I'm not conifident that I could have beat the Shindou from that game
I don't know how far I could have gone against Su-Young either
Back when Shindou first became an Insei?
Who could have imagined that he would become this strong
Touya! Did he?
Maybe Touya knew...
Maybe he knows what Shindou is going to become!
Is Touya chasing after... The Shindou of the future!?
My last opponent was so bad
I was wondering why he was even taking the exam
Not just me either
I thought he was here just to give a win to everyone taking the exam
He was horrible
Isumi-san
Waya...
Let's go to the match hall
The afternoon's about to begin
Yeah...
No. Don't lose confidence
Isumi-san
Shindou just happened to play better than usual when he played against Su-Young
Don't lose confidence
It's time, Please begin
Only three people can pass...
I came through this very same path thirty years ago
Good luck to you all
Thanks for the game
Well, let's see how Shindou and Isumi-san are...
They're still playing
Isumi-san is winning
Shindou must be desperate
What!? Byouyomi!?
Isumi-san's already used all his time
Now he has to play each move in a minute
I doubt that he'll make a mistake due to lack of time...
Shindou has gotten stronger...
But not enough for Touya to get worried
I don't need Touya's help to win
Isumi-san is more important
I'll play Isumi-san next week
But I will play Waya before that...
I need to watch out for Waya too..
He seems to be doing well
Defeating Honda-san and all...
I'll go take a look at Waya
I see the goal
Don't panic
It's already difficult for Shindou to come back
Calm down. What do you have to be worried about?
I've got to work extra hard this year
I have to graduate this year after all
Shindou Hikaru
My name is... Shindou Hikaru
I just need to keep playing like this
Don't worry about them!
Don't worry about the shadows of Touya and Su-young that I see behind Shindou
I came to atari in the wrong place...
That's so stupid. Why did I go atari from the left?
It's obvious that I should go to atari from the right here
I intended to do so
But I was worried about Touya and Su-young and...
Sai... Didn't his fingers leave the stone just now?
Sai, did you see?
Playing somewhere else after your fingers leave the stone...
That's an automatic loss
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
