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
I'm saved?
I'm not playing
Touya Kouyou or old man Kuwabara right now...
He's just a new pro player
And...
Isn't this Shindou's first time playing One-Color Go?
Touya Akira isn't the only one...
Who will be threatening me from below
There is someone else!
Match 59: Touya Kouyou Retires!
Touya Meijin retired!?
What!?
Unbelievable!
Why is he doing this all of a sudden?
He simply made the phone call apologizing to me since I was the head of his supporters
We did arrange for a press conference
But all he said was that it was what he wanted to do
Ichikawa-san!
I'm just as surprised!
A-Anyway
we have to... ummmm...
Hold an emergancy meeting
Ummm.... We have a phone call from the sponsor of a title match
Could it be because of his health?
I'll try going to Kouyou's house
It's not fair!
It's too early!
I still haven't taken a title from Touya Meijin yet!
Being defeated in the Jyudan match has nothing to do with his retirement
If you had to retire just because you lost a title
Then I'd have to retire aswell
I felt as if I was playing against
A whole new Touya Kouyou in the last game of the Jyudan match
So why retire?
Why!?
What's going to happen to the title matches that no longer have a current title holder?
Make the challenger the temporary title holder?
Wouldn't we make the final match to decide the challenger a five or seven game match?
I heard a rumor that Touya-san lost to an amateur on the internet
But when I took a look at the kifu
Boy was I surprised
It was an incredible game!
That had to have been a match between top-class pros
So the rumor that he's retiring out of disappointment from losing to Sai is
just a rumor
But It is
Too bad that we still don't know which pro player Sai is
Oops, I'm going to be late
For the bullet train if I keep talking here
You see, my wife's family is holding a memorial service. And...
Really, you're such a selfish man, Touya Kouyou
Nagoya
Good morning
I'm Touya Akira
Where is the match hall?
I'll show you there right now
Oh, Touya-Kun!
About your father's retirement...
We're all worried here that...
It's because of his health
Is it?
No. His health is perfectly fine
He's doing well
Oh...
We don't get very reliable information here or in the western district
I heard that even you don't know his reasons for retiring...
Is that true?
Yes.
My mother does not know either
But, mother said to me...
Akira-san
There's no need to worry about your father
I mean, he doesn't look at all as if he's torn about this decision
But wouldn't he miss being able to play Go?
Not at all
Many players have already come to our house to play him
This way
But... This is tragic news for Go fans!
Please let my father have his way
I'll make up for him
The match hall is right upstairs
I'll make up for him?
Make up for a pro with four titles?
He said it so casually
He's going to grow up to become somebody
It's right here
Oh, Touya-Kun
Master Ichiryuu...
In Nagoya?
Right back at you
There are hardly ever matches here in Nagoya
My wifes family lives here in Nagoya
I'm here for a memorial
So I thought I'd come here to take a look
Did you stay at a hotel last night?
That must have been rough
Not at all
How is the former Meijin, Touya, doing?
He's playing Go
Even Mr. Morishita and Mr. Ookubo have come to visit
Even Mr. Ookubo!?
I heard Kurata-kun went aswell
Yes
Master Ichiryuu!
Oh! Miyamachi-kun!
How are you doing?
Long time no see
What is a person of your stature doing here, Master?
I came to cheer you on!
Why else would I be here?
Oh, really?
Thanks for the game
Thank you for the game
But Master...You said that you can play Go even now that you're retired
But I don't quite agree
I mean
aren't there things that you can only see in the tension of a title match?
Kurata-kun...
That is certainly true for you and Akira
There are many things you need to learn through compitition
But in my case
I'm happier about being freed from meaningless obligations
And matches in places that I have to spend two days getting to and from
So now, you can sit here
and people will come to you for games instead!
Like I did today
I'll come again
Please do
Kurata-san
I learned alot from you today
Thank you very much
I'll work hard to try to catch up to you and Ogata-san
I may have lost to you in the second preliminaries for the Meijin match
But I
Will grow stronger and get even with you some day
You're always looking up aren't you?
You probably don't realize that there's someone threatening below you as well
Below me?
Not really below you...
But immediately behind you
You and he are the people who are going to be threatening me in the future
He just became a pro this year... Shindou Hikaru
You probably don't know him since you're always looking above
Well, I probably wouldn't have taken notice either
If I hadn't met him at a convention
I played him once in a Go salon
Shindou...
He's someone you have to watch out for
Shindou...
Even Kurata-san has noticed, Shindou...
If only I wasn't playing in Nagoya...
I could have watched your match today in Tokyo
Shindou...
Tokyo
I don't understand how he can retire
Didn't he make a hundred million yen this year?
Yeah
Even if he won't have any financial problems...
Who's your opponent today?
A newbie named Shindou
He had a win by default on his first match
And today is his second
Win by default!?
His opponent, Touya Akira didn't come
Master Touya collapsed that morning
So it's his first time playing today
He'll be frozen stiff from nervousness then
Good morning
When I checked up on his scores from the Wakajishisen last year
I saw that he lost to Murakami in the first round
And his new first dan series game was horrible
G-Good morning
What's more
He should be frozen stiff since it's his first match
As a third dan, I can't afford to lose here
The 19x19 grid seems smaller than usual...
It's strange...
I feel like I can't lose
Hikaru
Is starting to walk down the path to the divine move
Not me...
But Hikaru...
Is there no way I can escape
This fate God has for me?
It's a difficult game...
No, he's making it a difficult game
I have to change the flow...
The flow...
Change it!
I spent to many moves on the upper side
Black's done well gaining territory while attacking me
Anyway
I have to make two eyes even if I have to make weak moves
I can only endure for now
You can't just make eyes
I'm going to gain a huge lead while you muck around
Not good enough
I did connect...
But in the meantime
He's invaded my area of influence I lost out...
The only place left where I can make a comeback is on the left side
I have to take a chance and attack it!
So this is Hikaru...
This!
All he needed to do was defend
Against my reckless attack, but...
He's retaliating instead of defending!
I had no idea he had grown so much...
I resign
Thank you for the game
I wonder what happened in Shindou's game...
Ishihara-san
how was Touya Akira?
I'll never be able to beat him
No matter how much you study Go...
I'll never beat him
I've been thinking ever since the matter with Sai
Shindou...
Why did you appear before me?
Why do I chase after you?
And why do you chase after me?
Why?
How was my match today?
Wasn't I doing great?
He just wouldn't give up
His persistance almost became annoying
I bet he thought he couldn't possibly lose
What's wrong?
It's your turn
What is this move you just made!?
How can you be so arrogrant when you make stupid moves like this!?
Well, you're right, this is a bad move
I-I know that
Hikaru can't even beat me
What did you say?
Hikaru, you can't even beat me!
I want to play more Go!
Yes!
Hikaru can't even beat me yet!
I want an eternity of time!
Well, you can't even pick up Go stones without me!
Ummm..Hey... Let's play...
Sai?
Man...
Hikaru...
Let's play...
No way
You're the one that quit
Hikaru, you jerk!
Why is he in such a bad mood?
Someone robbed Grandpa's storage shed!?
He called just now
They only took some of the things in the shed
And both grandpa and grandma are fine
Hikaru! The board...
Is the Go board alright!?
The Go board that you lived in for a hundred years?
Yes!
I thought it was disgusting because there were blood stains over it...
But it's a Go board filled with memories of Torajirou for you
Let's go check!
Hurry!
And to think Sai was picking a fight with me just last night
Oh well!
Great!
They didn't take the Go board
It's not great at all!
The pots, plates, and wall scrolls...
They took them all last night!
But, I'm glad that you came here because you were worried
Dad told me not to because it's
All junk anyway
W-What!
Really
Grandma is Grandma
She said it's a perfect opportunity to finally clean out the shed
There it is
Huh?
Is it just me?
The stains look more faded than they were last time
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？
