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
A month between the preliminaries and the finals...
A month and a half since the finals started...
You were getting stronger during all of that time
I didn't change at all. That's the difference between us
I can't hear anything your saying!
Hey! You're Shindou right?
What?
I'm leaving my dream of becoming a pro with you!
Waya, you'll be playing Shindou next
Yeah, I'm at two losses
I'll pass if I beat Shindou, who's at three losses
Well, either way, you'll just be watching us from above without a care in the world
I do care about something
I'll be playing Shindou in the last round
It's not a throwaway match
It may be the most important match for me out if the entire pro exam
Did you always think so highly of Shindou?
I want to find out Shindou's strength...
His mysterious strength
Forty-Third Match: Waya VS Shindou
I can't believe that he once hesitated because he feared my moves
He's even getting better at Mokusan and Yose
He can play a well balanced game now
It's all thanks to me
What is it Sai?
Hikaru, your moves here look like something that I might play
You can tell
I played there after thinking about what you might do
I do it when I can't think of a good move
I can sometimes come up with a good idea that way
If you were me?
Yup!
I can tell because we're always playing together
Always together...
How long will we be together?
I thought I'd never die...
I thought I'd be with Hikaru his entire life
And that I would inhabit a Go board once Hikaru died
And that I'd just have to wait until the next time I returned
Now that I think about it...
There's no guarantee of that...
Anywhere...
My match against Waya...
Might be tougher than my match against Ochi...
While Ochi's already passed
Waya is just a step away from passing, so he'd be more desperate
I already have three losses... I'm even more borderline than Waya is...
Dammit...
I'm a little scared of playing him
Waya is under just as much pressure as you are
yeah
Two more rounds...
Yes...
Right now... Yes now is not the time to be worrying about myself
The Twenty-Sixth Match of the Pro Exam Finals
Morning
Waya went to the match hall already
W-What's your problem!?
You're looking forward to watching our game aren't you?
I guess you don't have to worry now that you've passed
Hmmm... You there
Where do we place order for lunch?
Right here
Here
Thanks
You're wondering who I am?
The Insei teacher Shinoda-sensei, couldn't make it today
So I'm here in his place
What's your name?
Shindou
It's Shindou Hikaru
Shindou-Kun
How have you been doing so far?
I have three losses
I'll pass if I win the last two games
Wow, Good luck
Thank you! Excuse me
Hey
Hey, Have I met you somewhere before?
I just have this feeling that we've met before
Sai, Do you know?
Nope
Oh well, sorry for stopping you
You're the boy that ruined a match during the Children's Go Tournament by commenting on it!
Oh, Now I remember
He's the person that scolded you about it!
Close one
You should've played one above it
Really...
I accidentally chimed in doesn't settle this
yea...
Him!?
I-I already apologized for that!
Besides, Sai, you're the one that said that 1-2 was critical. Not me
But you're the one that said it out loud!
I knew back then that you were exceptional
You said that you're close to passing right?
So you're already almost a pro!
Oh, doesn't look like he's going to yell at me
Seems so
I see
No wonder you were able to see that 1-2 was critical so quickly
But I'm the one that saw it!
I still remember the shape!
Hikaru you... Hikaru...
Right now, you could...
Right now I can?
You can do it but...
Alright!
I just said it on impulse
I'm sorry about that
Ogata-san and Master Touya showed interest in you, too
I have to tell them about you
Those two already know about me
What!? They already have their eyes on you!?
That's incredible!
Good luck with the pro exam
I'm looking forward to your passing
Bye
Thanks
He reminds me
Of what the teacher from Kaiou was like when I played Su-Young
Now I can believe
That you indeed did play that unbelievable match
I will also remember, once more The name Shindou Hikaru
He recognized my strength!
My strength!
Didn't... Doubt just cross my mind right now?
It is time
Everyone please go into the match hall
Hey, Shindou!
Let's start!
Sure!
No... This isn't time to be worrying about myself
Right now I need to be watching over Hikaru
Please start your clocks
Good luck
Sensei
It's already been five years... Since Waya started studying under me
Isn't this your fourth time taking the pro exam?
Why do you keep it up?
Kazuo!
How dare you say that!
You're a pro player's son!
Listen, Waya!
You're doing well this year
If you still don't pass, you're no longer my student!
No longer my student!
Say it don't spray it, Dad!
Dear
Don't pressure him so much, dad
You've only lost two matches, right?
Th-Thanks for the food
You've practically passed already!
Chieko! Stop pressuring Waya-kun
I'll help
Thank you.
You told your family that you're eating here tonight, right?
Yes
Finish cleaning up already
I'll teach you again as soon as you're done
Okay
Kazuo! Drive him home after we're done
Okay
Waya-kun! Treat me to something if you become a pro!
Idiot. You're supposed to treat him
Saeki-san treated me when he became a pro
Quiet! You two go away!
Really! You're both kids of a pro player
And neither of you can play!
And to think I taught you, too
It just wasn't my thing
I blame your teaching
How long do you plan on being like this?
Master!
I...
Waya's white stones, have been working hard all game
Let's fight!
If I turn this area
under white's influence, into my territory
your loss is definite
You have to try to take some of it
Come on let's play!
Okay
If this black lives, you win
If I kill this black, I win
I would pass the pro exam
Can I kill it?
Can I live?
Is there a way for black to live?
A way for black to live...
Master...
Waya..
yes
You're a good student
You're obedient and earniest, despite your age
But don't expect to be babied just because of that!
If black goes there, I'll extend
No...
It would be better if I just do a sagari
Okay! He can't do anything there
I've had afew students
There were afew who couldn't become pros
But you are different!
You have the potential
I'll do a sagari if black does a two space jump to a tsuke
Okay, I can kill that too
Listen, you WILL pass!
I'll say it as many times as I have to
You WILL pass!
No way!
Have faith in yourself, Waya
Hurry, and Become a pro
There's no way for black to live!
I won!
There is...
There is away for black to live
It's difficult to see and carry out
But... There is just one way
Damn... I don't see...
A way for black to live...
Master! I can do it!
I can become a pro!
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…
