KOKU STABLE
So incredible.
Against Komatora,
who could be in the three highest ranks of the Makuuchi division.
I didn't teach him anything.
Really?
Huh?
His left hand...
Wait, isn't Shizuuchi, uh, left-handed?
- Correct, yes? - Yes.
Is he injured?
No. I told him not to use his left hand
so he doesn't injure Komatora.
That's right.
He's a true monster.
SANCTUARY
Enya's certainly in the fighting spirit,
with the tournament coming, huh?
Of course he is.
I'd kill him if he wasn't.
I hope he gets back into the Makuuchi division.
And, uh, the problem child is the one in the Jonidan division.
JONIDAN OZE
Oze...
Oze!
Again.
Try harder.
Now again.
Try harder.
Oze, again!
Why can't I fucking win!
Shiko, you need to do it more.
Shiko is pointless now. You can only do so much of it.
Your sumo is like...
...like a single dot.
What?
Shiko will help you connect the dots.
You're crazy.
Okay, one more time.
Shiko...
You have to lift higher.
Open your toes...
What is it?
Hmm.
Do you like sumo now?
No, I don't.
But I will...
make the article a great one.
So you can return to political news?
Hmm. Of course.
Shintani, can I talk to you a sec?
It has to do with the general election article.
So, I was wondering if you could tell me how this graph works.
Why is it...
She pressed that politician too hard.
Yet she completely blames us for the transfer?
Or is she...
actually mad about something else?
Hmm?
Dude, do you live here?
Hey, Two-face.
What is wrong with you?
You like cherry blossoms?
They're not in bloom just yet.
Here.
Don't you smoke?
Give it another!
Another puff!
Excuse me.
Could you give this to Engaku for me, please?
TO ENGAKU
ENGAKU, I LOVE YOU. I'D DIE FOR YOU. KOTA AIDA.
Creepy!
INCOMING
Who is it?
Uh, Kiyoshi?
What?
Come on. I'm your mother. You love me.
Whose number is this?
I had to change my phone number recently.
Why? Because of another guy?
What's with that tone of voice?
I'm hanging up.
Hey, hey, you got paid, right?
Yeah, so?
You know, your father's bill is due real soon.
How much?
Wire 500,000 yen for now.
I'll call you if it's not enough.
Okay, bye.
Hey, stop that now. Stop.
You're making me want you.
He'll pay. He loves him too much.
Right?
He just loves his daddy, doesn't he?
Yeah... harder...
Stupid bitch.
What's the matter?
Nothing. Don't worry about it.
You can talk to me anytime. You know that.
Five hundred thousand yen... What do I do?
What? What is it?
Uh, nothing.
Hey...
I have a mission for you.
How about seconds?
What the heck? You're creeping me out.
Oh, you!
- You're totally stiff around here. - Yeah. I've been lifting too many weights.
Yeah. Holy crap. This area is way too tight.
That's good.
- Oh yeah! - Hell, you're super stiff here.
Take it! Take it! Hurry!
Huh?
Hmm?
Ow! Ow!
Huh?
What? Huh?
Huh?

Ah, good.
Oh, and, uh...

Oh! Oh!
No, no!
Ah!
Do you want it?
Uh, yeah. I'll pay you 50,000.
- See you. - Hey, wait, wait, wait!
What's up?
Uh, 100,000 yen?

CHANKO IZAKAYA TEPPO
RETIRED JULY 1990. OICHO TOPKNOT, ENRIKI
It's been a while since we had a drink together.
Thanks for treating me.
I've noticed...
you've been giving Oze too much attention.
Uh, yeah.
I wouldn't say that's true.
You sure?
Well, regardless,
I want you to put more weight on Enku's keiko.
He joined our stable wanting to be like you.
He'll do hours of shiko just because you tell him to.
Even if he pisses himself.
You come off
as a bit cold towards him.
Now is the time
for him to quit chasing me
and to come up with his own sumo.
I see.
Mmm, good.
- Good! - It's really good.
Twenty tuna, please.
Yes, sir.
Are you sure? It's expensive here, you know.
Ugh, don't worry about it.
It's expensive, but the taste is average.
Huh? Really?
You can tell by this if it's good or not.
You sure know a lot.
Do you know a place with good pickled ginger?
I do.
The whole place was delicious.
Really? Where is it?
The restaurant...
is no longer around.
I'm stuffed.
- That was delicious. - Yeah.
Hey, man. Take a look. Aren't these cute?
Look. We have more over there. Come.
Please look. Please take a look. Look.
Come on. They're really cute.
- Take a look. - Good evening, sir!
Yeah, right here.
- We're both students... - That's right.
...here from Turkey.
- Help us by buying some. - How about this one?
It helps us.
Power stones. Made by hand.
- It's only 13,000 yen. - Isn't it cheap?
All your dreams will come true.
All your dreams.
No, they won't, moron.
- Hey, wait up! - Go back to your country.
- Isn't this cute, yeah? - Wait, wait!
- The colors on this one are so cute. - They suit you. So cute.
- We have many different kinds. - We have green and...
I'll buy it.
Which one?
Hey, look, look, look!
This one.
- Wait up! - Wait!
- Thank you! - Hey, wait!
Why don't we take... take a picture?
- Gorgeous! - Okay.
Yeah, one more time!
- Whoo! - Come on! Gorgeous!
- Yeah! Look at the camera. - Thank you, my friend!
The tournament is soon, yeah?
Yeah.
I'll be cheering for you.
I've got this.
See you then.
Oh, wait, let me pay.
What's the matter?
Gorgeous!
Kiyopoyo?
Damn!
Fuck!
Give it back!
Keep doing your sumo so you can afford this.
Who is it?
What is it?
KOTA AIDA@ENGAKU'S BIGGEST FAN. THANK YOU, GOD. OMG HE'S SO SEXY.
I know that it was you.
You don't know that.
Based on what--
Your face says it all.
Hey!
Piece of shit.
If you're gonna take pictures...
make 'em look way cooler!
Okay.
I just wired 250,000 yen. That's all the money I had for him.
You figure out how to get the rest.
Me?
That was all my savings.
If you use it, I'll kill you.
Don't say such a thing. Of course I won't use it.
How's Dad?
He's still the same. His recovery is going to take a while.
Kiyoshi, you've got to keep doing sumo to pay the bills.
Sumo is like... like a single dot.
Dot...
Again.
Dot...
- Like this. - Yes, sir.

SHINTANI INCOMING CALL
Uh, hello?
Oh...
What do you mean, "Oh"?
I didn't think you'd pick up.
Why would you think that?
Uh...
So how is sumo? It must be tough for you.
Well, it's easier than covering political news.
Ah, I see.
Why'd you call?
Huh?
Oh, yeah...
We should... We should talk.
How about dinner sometime?
It's always the same story.
You're the one that gave me permission to write the article on illegal donations.
You're the one who got rid of me
the moment you felt pressure from the higher-ups,
even though you gave me permission.
That's all.
I'll be back. I'm definitely going to be back real soon.
But why?
Going back to where you are
is my idea of taking revenge.
Let's talk sometime, okay?
Okay?
The baby...
It's cute?
You had a child, right?
Is it cute?
Let's just meet up and talk, okay?
I don't really care about that.
The baby...
Is it cute?
Fuck you.
- Do you really think that? - I'm sorry.
- Also, about the entrance... - Yes.
I'M FREE. CAN YOU COME?
HELLO? WHY WON'T YOU RESPOND?
HOW ARE YOU? KIYOPOYO! I MISS YOU.

Dot...

So, what do you think? Isn't sumo fun?
Sure. It's whatever.
I came up with a shikona for you.
It's fine. Don't worry about it. I've already thought of one.
Huh?
Call me "The King."
- Cool, right? - Shut up.
Huh?
Here it is.
"Saruzakura"?
That's lame!

Shimizu.
Huh, why?
It's been a long time.
I'm sorry for the trouble I caused back then.
Why are you here?
Uh, actually...
I went back to my hometown after that.
But then Okami-san came to see me.
I thought you liked sumo.
I do.
How about becoming an usher then?
If you know exactly where you want to be,
it doesn't matter how you're there.
As long as you're there.
And so...
I was able to stay as a yobidashi and member of the Ensho Stable.
So? Have you gotten stronger?
Huh?
I've always been unbeatable!
This is where your road to Yokozuna begins.
You shouldn't act so arrogant after running away.
Hmm.
Hey, help me with the mawashi.
Okay!
