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
Sai... Are you?
No! No! I'm not!
Why do you think I'm him?
He reminded me of you during the match
He would have gotten an advantage
If he played in the corner instead of connecting
See? Blacks winning by a little this way
You're right
Everyone is starting to notice Hikaru's strength
I can see it
The brliiant future
I see it...
Hikaru has, shining above him...
The future I lack
Match 58: One-Colour Go
Ouza Match Finals Game 1
Kurata Atsushi 6dan
Kamaishi Yoshirou 9dan
I resign
Thanks for the game
Kurata-kun
Are you done?
Judging by the smile, I'm guessing you won
I'm going to blast through this year
I'm seriously aiming for a title now
Sounds like you're doing well
I guess even Kamaishi 9dan
is no match for Kurata-kun anymore
Hey, what's going on over there? Over in Nagano
The fifth game of the Jyudan match?
So that's why you stopped by
Curious?
Of course!
Let's see, the fax did arrive...
Oh, here it is
This is the latest one
It's from half an hour ago
The games still pretty even, after all this time
So I think
Master Touya's going to end up winning. since he is more experienced
Mr. Ogata just isn't as good as Master Touya with the finishing blow
He was defeated in the seventh and final game of the Honinbou match
And he may lose today in the fifth and final game of the Jyudan match
I'm sure he'll toughen up
Once he gets used to title matches
His game is starting to get solid and professional
Now that you mention it...
But more importantly
what's wrong with Touya Kouyou?
Did something happen to him?
But Ogata-san is playing it rationally
What!? The Meijin is still playing moves like that?
That's unlike him
Unlike him?
Master Touya... Lost...
So he lost?
With formulas like these. What you want to be solving for is... Listen up, this part is going to be on the test
Why did Master Touya lose?
Was it because he played Go against Sai on the internet?
I wonder if he lost because he was tired from it
Or if it threw him off rythem...
I hope that's not it...
What do you think, Sai?
I doubt that would be the reason
But I would have to look at the Kifu
kifu?
Yes
I can tell if I look at the Kifu What he felt during the match
Is that so?
Seems like your finally back to normal, Sai
Well, you've been acting strangely lately
You looked really sad all the time
You're not Touya, but you looked just as inconfident and worried as him
I was worried
D-Did I say something wrong?
N-No, not at all
Not at all...
I guess Master Touya is really going to retire
He's not the type
Of person who changes his mind after he's decided on something
He isn't...
Yeah...
This is bad...
I want to look at the Kifu. But I'm not sure if I can get it at the Institute or not
Weekly Go won't come out until next week...
I'm getting hungry
Welcome!
Kurata-san!
Shindou?
What are you doing at a place like this?
Idiot? Shindou, are you an idiot?
I'm hear to eat noodles of course
Not that!
I'm asking why you're in this area
I'm not going to treat you just because you sat down there
I can pay for myself!
What would you like?
Ramen
Oh. Me, too
Y-You, too?
Two ramens!
Did you have an appointment for a tutoring game around here?
Did you have one?
Yeah
On the way home
Oh yeah, Kurata-san
Can I see the Kifu from the Jyudan game yesterday if I go to the Go institue?
I saw it
You did!?
I was at the Go Institute yesterday
So the publishing division showed it to me
They send you updates on the game live over the fax
Here you go They send you updates on the game live over the fax
Here you go
I know that Master Touya lost... I read about it in the newspaper
What... Kind of game was it?
A game you wouldn't expect from Touya Kouyou
Wouldn't expect?
Don't you think he plays a well-balanced game?
He attacks when he should but holds back when he needs to
But...
It was as if he was off balance It was like...
Was it... Poorly played?
Bad?
It was a great game
He played interesting moves one after another
Even though it was the last game of the title match
His game has become more youthful!
He ended up losing
but I'm impressed
I mean
He can still change his game despite his age!
Touya Kouyou is incredible
He's still in his prime
That's my impression of the game
Are you going to eat, Shindou?
O-Of course
So it was a good game...
I'm glad
Then he might not retire
That makes defeating him all the more worthy a goal
I'm getting excited
His son put up a great fight, too
Kurata-san, you've played Touya Akira before!?
I beat him last month in the second preliminaries for the Meijin match
But he's made it to the third preliminaries for the Honinbou match
A mere 2dan is in the third preliminaries!
He has no rivals amongst the lower dan players
He might
Really become threatening by summer
It's faster than I could've imagined
Touya... So you've already made it that far...
Can I not even catch up to him?
Let alone surpass him...
Come again
That was a great meal
See ya
Kurata-san!
Are you busy right now?
Do you have some time?
What if I have time?
Please play a game against me
No way
What'll I do
I wonder if he's bitter about me saying that I didn't want his autograph...
Well then...
I want Kurata-san's autograph!
Kurata-san, will you give me your autograph as a reward if I beat you?
Well, I doubt someone like me could win
But I can't ask for Kurata-san's autograph for free!
It's something I have to work hard for
Reeeeaaally?
You want it that badly?
I guess I have no choice
Well, let's go to a Go salon somewhere then
Score
He's really easy to manipulate!
Okay! We'll test my strength out
By seeing how well I can play against Kurata-san!
You pay the entrance fee, okay? For both of us
Okay
Welcome!
K-Kurata the pro!
Kurata!?
Oh! It's Kurata!
Kurata 6dan!
It really is him! I'm a fan!
Can we play?
O-Of course!
This way, please
Kurata-san! We'll be cheering you on for the Honinbou match next month
We were all just talking about how Kurata-san's Honinbou title will follow Ogata-san's Jyudan title
Thanks much
Mr. Kurata
who is your companion here?
Him?
His name is Shindou
He just became pro
He asked me to give him my autograph if he beats me!
So he's Kurata-san's fan!
How cute!
May I have your autograph later as well?
Did we have any autograph paper?
An even match is too much
So Shindou you can play first with no komi
Okay
But
I won't give you my autograph for nothing!
Okay
I don't want it!
Okay, let's play!
Huh?
They're both white
Here are some black stones
Nah, let's play like this
One-Color Go
One-Color Go!?
Yeah
It's played with white or black, just one color
Shindou, yours is black, okay?
Okay, good luck!
Huh!? These white
Stones are black?
Come on, say good luck!
G-Good luck!
This stone is...
Black
Looks like this is Shindou's first time playing One-Color Go
It's just starting to get interesting
Playing with just white stones?
In other words...
If all the stones are in this game we're playing
Are replaced by white stones...
Can you do it?
Wow, they can both play with only white
Was the kid white or black?
He's black!
Keep quiet, I'm going to lose track here
He's better than I thought
I can still kind of keep track...
Me, too
You can see more than you thought you could, right?
You remember it by the shape
The shape of the stones
Shape, huh...
Oh yeah...
Didn't he teach
Mr. Gokiso a lesson during the convention?
Shape? But to us...
I've lost track
I stopped focusing for a second
and I've lost track
Me, too I'm completely confused
Done already?
We've still got a ways to go
Right, Shindou?
Mr. Gokiso isn't a match for him
Wow Muranishi-san, you still know what's going on!?
I lost track a long time ago
It's just determination now
I'm determined to keep track of it
That's impressive
Oh, someone can still see it?
Okay, we're going to ditch you now
Okay
A furious battle's started in the corner!
... Or that's what it looks like
Yeah, we have no idea what's going on...
It just looks like this clump of white stones that keeps getting bigger and bigger
We've still got a ways to go!
And, Who's winning?
Don't ask me
Who's winning?
Shindou is!
Umm, Kurata-san Who's winning right now?
He's working very hard to stay ahead right now
He must really want my autograph
He won't give me a chance
He's tough
There!
I misread it!
I'm saved!
Shindou just made a big mistake
... I'm saved?
I'm not playing
Touya Kouyou or old man Kuwabara right now
He's just a kid that just became pro
Wait! Isn't this...
Shindou's first time playing One-Color Go?
It isn't just Touya Akira...
Who's going to be threatening me from below...
There's another one
Crap!
I lost track of the stones! And there...
It's around there...
Ummm...Ummm...
Will black die if I move here?
I resign
Ahh! Crap! I misread this part
It was complicated, but I'm sure I could have won!
I totally messed up by making a Ko here
I should have moved cautiously here
I should have replied on the right side, right?
Right? Kurata-san?
He...
He has relized it, too...
He's seen Hikaru's hidden strength
Do you have autograph paper? Extra ones?
Ohhh! Of course, here you go
Here!
Huh? Weren't you going to give him an autograph only if he won?
I don't want it...
Huh? What is this?
It's just Kura?
I'll sign the rest of it
When you beat me in a formal match
Kurata-san...
Mr. Kurata, may I have an autograph as well?
One for me, too, please
Of course! Of course!
Line up if you want one!
Kurata-san's... recognized me...
What?
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
Turn up the volume?
In an earlier press conference
the top Go player
Touya Kouyou, with four titles
Has announced his retirement!
What!?
Master.. Touya's..
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？
