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
So this is Sai...
Macth 56: The Answer to His Millennium
This... Is...
Touya... Kouyou...
And Sai...
Your important match is next week?
I don't mind you coming here to relax, but...
Why don't you enjoy it?
Don't you enjoy being with me?
There is nothing I enjoy more than Go
What a boring man you are
You're going to lose if you don't relax
I'm cheering you on, so don't lose
Like you even know what title I'm playing for
I lost the Honinbou match against Master Kuwabara in the last game, but...
This time...
Maybe I'll stop by the hospital on my way home
And check up on my opponent for the Jyudan match
No visitors!?
Excuse me!
Did something happen to Master Touya?
Oh, the sign
Don't worry about it
It's only up there because Touya-san asked us to put it up yesterday
He asked you to?
He said that he doesn't want anybody bothering him today
He's really focused on playing Go on the internet
Internet Go!?
Yes
I just went in to pick up
the plates from his lunch. But he hasn't touched any of it
Are all Go players like that?
Just who is he playing?
Someone he needs to turn away visitors for?
And have requested that he have no visitors ahead of time
Then...
This match was scheduled ahead of time
When did he schedule it?
And with who!?
This is it!
Sai!?
Master Touya is thinkng
Why!? They're already near the end
Wouldn't expanding from there
Let him win?
Yeah I agree
Then why?
Is there something we're not seeing?
Hey, let's try playing it out
Okay
Mother, aren't you going to the hospital?
Your father told me not to come today
He told you not to come?
He said he wants to play Go on the internet without getting interrupted
He knew about this match before today
Father...
scheduled this ahead of time with Sai...
Master Touya played Nozoki!
Nozoki!? From there!?
Here
Doesn't that seem too small to you?
Not at all
He's going to play there after he gains territory on the side
That may be so, but...
Prehaps he wants to get Sente there
and then go to the right side
I think expanding there is fine though
Wouldn't that result in a Miai?
No... Touya-kun may be right
But wouldn't black win by just defending?
Though black has the advantage it's incredibly small
The Meijin must have decided that
He can't beat this opponent by just defending
He probably decided on solidly taking territory
while eliminating the white territory on the top
Sai can read incredibly deep and calculate very well
He comes up with a move to take control of the game
After reading all of his oppnent's moves
I know that... He won't let my father keep his lead
Without putting up a fight
Sai won't...
Sai definitely won't
Touya-Kun... You know Sai?
I played him once during the summer two years ago
Sai disappeared from the internet after that match against me
And the same Sai is now playing Go on the internet
And against Master Touya of all people...
My father... Arranged this match against Sai ahead of time
Father knows who Sai is!?
But the only time father left the hospital was
for the fourth game of the Jyudan match...
Did he arrange to play Sai then?
If not...
Then someone who visited him at the hospital...
Could... One of them have been Sai?
Say, Akira-Kun...
He's such a nice boy
He came to visit the Master at the hospital today
Shindou-Kun came to see him!
Shindou came to see him..
It can't be.. I still...
Can't forget about Shindou and Sai...
If the Master were to have arranged this match...
He must have met him face to face
The Master doesn't know how to use e-mail...
Then it must have been someone...
Who was around during the fourth match of the Jyudan match...
Or...
Someone who came to see him at the hospital...
No
Shindou is not Sai..
His game during the Wakajishisen was not
A game that Sai would have played
Besides, if he was Sai
He would have become well-known even when he was an Insei
But... Even if Shindou isn't Sai...
He might know who Sai is
But even if Shindou doesn't...
Someone around me is connected to Sai
Even though he can play this well against Touya Kouyou...
We don't know anything about him...
Sai... Just who is he?
Do you have any ideas, Touya-Kun...
As to who Sai is?
Shindou! Are you Sai!?
I don't... Have any ideas...
But... He's playing this well against Master Touya the number one Go player, with five titles
He has to be a well-known pro
He might be from China or Korea
Can't you find out where he's accessing the net from?
No... I'm not sure...
I might be able to trace him...
If I knew more about the internet
Sai is not Shindou
Sai is...Sai is as strong as the most experienced players imaginable
I remember... The match we played together on the internet, two years ago
My opponent, shrouded in darkness...
Yes! You!
You can't be Shindou!
Who are you?
If you're not Shindou... Why!?
Why...
The old Shindou?
Why do I see the old Shindou in you?
Back when, we first met...
Black is leading
Ooyose is about to end as well
But...
I can't feel any doubt coming out of him
From this opponent
I feel spirit
I can feel it because I'm playing him
This feeling... I've felt it before...
Yes! This atmosphere... This pressure...
I've felt it all before
This is...
A good move...
He can't capture this white stone...
The black territory there... Just disappeared
It was close to begin with...
But now... Blacks lost out...
It's a battle of spirit
When it's played against you
You realize that it's the best move you can make in this situation
But... How many people are able to notice this move?
How many people can make
This move!?
Master Touya's moves...
None of them looks like a bad move, but...
Somehow the two sides are...
There Even!
This... This can't...
Even!
No. It's just by a little, but...
The Meijin is... Losing
Only Yose is left...
When I read the game out to the end...
I see... Myself losing be a half moku
Unlike all the other conflicts on the board There is only one path you can take for Yose
Though it's difficult to play right And easy to stray away from...
There is only one correct path to take
He won't make a mistake
He probably sees the final board just like I do
He resigned
Master Touya resigned here!?
Sai..
Sai has... Won!
Why resign!?
It's still close!
There's only Yose left, but it's very close!
I have no idea
He read the game till the end already!?
But they still have to fight over Kos... Is he serious...
Master Touya resigned here...?
It can't be...
Although the Meijin has played calmly and rationaly...
Sai still played above him
That move he made...
And the moves that followed it...
Is there... No way for the Meijin to turn the game around!?
No...
There is
There has to be!
Sai...
Who are you!?
Sai!
He's the old... Shindou...
I've come upon an answer...
The old Shindou is the person
I see inside Sai!
This doesn't...
This doesn't answer any questions though...
It's over...
Touya Kouyou You responded to me exceedingly well
Each of your brilliant moves...
Made my body shiver in excitement more than ever before
And I feel proud... That I could respond to you beyond the best of my own abilities
Thank you... Touya Kouyou
Thank you... Hikaru
Hikaru?
Over here!
Master Touya prevented himself from being cut here...
You would think that he needs to make that move...
But if...
Before that... He placed one stone in the corner...
See? White has to respond
So he'll have gained more territory than he did during the match
In other words, if black had played
In the corner instead of connecting...
He would've won!
Sai, you would have lost!
Hikaru is...
Absolutely right...
Hows that, Sai?
Hikaru...
I finally
Understand...
God has.. Given me a millennium of time
Simply too... Show Hikaru this match!
How many painful memories did we have? つらい想い出とか いくつあったのかな？
What kind of fun days are we going to どんな楽しい日を
Treasure from now on? これからは 大切にしていくのかな？
When we gathered at a nearby park 近くの公園で 集まったね いつも
We laughed loudly until midnight came 夜中まで大きな声出して 笑ってたね
Forever… Forever… ずっと ずっと
I'm happy about the miracle 同じ時代を今 生きてる奇跡が
Of living the same time すごくうれしいからね
So when we meet again 次あう日も きっとねぇ
Let's continue to laugh together 一緒に笑っていようよ
what kind of dreams 今度はどんな夢を
Are we going to tell together next?
