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
This atmosphere... It feels familiar
Yes! This atmosphere...
This feeling of pressure...
I've felt it before
This is...
It's the old... Shindou...
That I see in Sai!
I... Finally understand
God has... Given me a thousand years...
Just to show Hikaru this match
Match 57: Let Me Play Sai!
Hikaru...
Father...
Sai...
It's Sai...
The wind feels great!
Say
Sai. You told me before...
That only the people playing the game
Can see some things
Well, being where I was during that game it felt as if...
I could see what you were thinking
And I could see what Master Touya was thinking
I felt as if I was in the very middle of that match today
Master Touya must be really disappointed
Losing to Sai!
If I lose this match, I will retire
Did he really mean that!?
Ah, that was close
Well...
I came here first thing in the morning, but...
He can't really be serious, can he?
I mean, it's crazy!
Someone with five titles can't just retire...
Right?
What? Were you thinking about something else?
Why am I always the one that has to worry?
Let's go, Sai
Akira-san?
G-Good morning
I'm sorry, who were you again?
Touya's mom
Ummm... I...
He's Shindou-Kun, he just became a pro this year
Remember? We played once
Ah, yes! I remember seeing you in weekly Go
You're the same age as Akira-san, right?
Akiko...
I'm sorry, but could you leave the room for a minute?
Okay, Okay
ummm...
Master, you resigned yesterday, but...
You won't retire... Right?
You said that you'd retire if you lost to Sai
On impulse, right?
Right?
I just wanted to make sure...
Are you... Sai...
No! No! It's not me!
Why do you think I'm Sai!?
He reminded me of you during the game...
Of the feeling I got when we played in the Room of Deep Contemplation
Sorry
I won't persure it
I don't care who Sai is
Shindou-Kun...
Let me...
Let me play Sai again!
I don't care if it's on the net
I won't ask him to tell me who he is anymore
Again?
Oh yeah...
If he plans to continue to play on the net
We could do that
Yeah
Master Touya would probably keep it a secret from anyone else
I can probably let Sai play from time to time
He would probably like that alot
No
It's to late...
I probably don't...
Have enough time for that
I can feel it...
Inside me...
The sands of time
That were frozen within me...
Are mercilessly and without doubt...
Starting to flow once more
Master
Then...
If I let you play him again
Will you take back what you said about retiring?
I won't take back what I said
I intend to retire after the upcoming fifth match
Of the Jyudan match
But...
I just asked you not to do anything crazy like that!
Retiring is not a great concern for me
In fact, it might be for the better
I'll be freed from th constraints and responsibilities
That come from being a pro
I won't have to accept any boring interviews
It's not that I won't be able to play Go
I have this existence
The happiness of existing...
I can play an all absorbing game of Go outside of the title matches
The match I played yesterday proves it!
I can play a game at that high of a level with someone I've never met before!
Let me play Sai again, Shindou-Kun!
I have no idea who Sai is
But...There is a connection to Sai
Nearby
Is it Shindou...Or is it one of the other people that visited him?
Anyway
The person who heard that the Meijin plays go on the internet
And arranged the match...
Who is it?
Master Touya should know
This voice Is it Shindou!?
I can't hear what they're saying
That maybe okay for you, Master
But not for me! I can't have that.
It'll all be my fault
You want to play Sai again don't you, Master?
Sai feels the same way!
So please give up on that idea!
Please!
Hikaru!
Oga...
Sai... You said...
So you do know who Sai is!
No! No! NO! I don't know him!
I have no idea!
Ogata-kun! I have no idea!
Ogata-kun!
Liar! You just said...
Bye!
Wait!
Shindou!
Did you arrange the match
Between Sai and the Master!?
No! It wasn't me!
If you know who Sai is...
Let me play him, too!
Mr. Ogata...
M-Mr. Ogata...
You know Sai, don't you!?
If you know him then let me play him, too!
I-I don't know him!
I don't know him!
I just...
Happened to be watching the game... Between Sai and Master Touya on the internet...
Shindou!
Touya...
Shindou!
Ogata-san!
Ogata-san... What happened?
Shindou was visiting the Master in his room
When I went in
He ran away
I heard some of what they were talking about
Chances are
Shindou and Sai know each other
He was denying it, but...
All we have to do is ask the master
They know each other?
No!
Shindou and Sai are...
Master
Ogata-kun
Akira
It was Shindou
wasn't it, who arranged your match against Sai
No!
Master!
He has nothing to do with it
Sai challenged me to a game on the internet first thing in the morning yesterday
That's all
Seems like you both watched the match yesterday
Touya Kouyou
It was a game deserving of my name
well?
Sai went above me
Akira-Kun
ask him!
Don't you want to find out who Sai is as well?
If father says that he doesn't know...
There's no point in asking him about it further
Ogata-kun thinks that Sai and Shindou are different people
I don't have the answer for it yet
But the one thing I know for certain is...
That Shindou holds the answer to all these mysteries
There's nothing I can do if both Shindou and the Master deny it
So this is it...
Oh! Akira-san
Ogata-san, too
Hello
Did Shindou leave?
Shindou-Kun was just here
That was close
Seems like Mr. Ogata
Heard me talking about Sai
And then Touya came in, too, to top it off
I wonder if he still thinks that I'm Sai
Well
I'm sure Master Touya won't tell them anything
But I think I can let you play the Meijin again
Sai
Sai?
What's wrong, you look sad
I said that I can let you play him again some time
Don't worry about it!
I'm sure that Master Touya won't tell anyone about me
I can let you play from time to time
From time to time?
How distant that sounds to me right now
Hey! I just let you play yesterday!
You're always asking for more
Let's go home
Ahhh! Dammit
Well, I don't think we'll be able to play him for abit
Because there will be a commotion over his retiring...
Don't be impatient
We've got plenty of time
There is...
No time...
Hikaru may have it but...
I...
Don't...
Waya
Is this it?
The game that Kouyou played on the internet?
Yes! I was watching this game from the start to end
It's an awesome match!
It really is
Is black Master Touya?
Yes
But really... I can't see him using computers
I thought that computers
Weren't for either of us...
Hello
Hey, Shindou-Kun
Sup, Shindou. It's Sai!
Sai came back to the internet!
We're going over a game he played against Touya Meijin right now
You saw it too, Waya?
I saw it too
What!? You saw it too?
So the opponent
playing white, is Sai?
Yes I told you about him before, Master
I told you there was someone really strong on the internet
This is him!
And then Sai...
White went here
What an astounding move
And then. It went like this...
And black resigned here
Game over
Resigned!? here?
It's half a moku match...
White's winning?
Isn't there anything black can do?
What if he doesn't respond here?
No, that's definitely Sente
White can't lose any more territory...
I'm starting to get a headache
Well, the thing is...
What?
Black would've gained territory
If he played in the corner instead of connecting here
I see...
Oh!
You're right!
See?
Black is ahead by abit this way
He'll need to move there once all the outside liberties are gone
He can't move back there at this point either...
But you always miss stuff like this, Shindou!
Waya, stop making light of it!
This move decided the match
Shindou-Kun, have you calculated it out?
Oh! You noticed it because you usually don't calculate stuff out!
What did you say
Everyone is starting to notice the strength Hikaru has..
I can see it...
The brilliant future that is...
I see it...
Shinning about Hikaru...
The future that I lack
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? 一緒に語りあうのかな？
