Go, Ryuki!
MAY TOURNAMENT DAY ONE - FINAL BOUT
It's Day One of the May Tournament,
and this is our final bout.
Take your positions!
- Come on! - You can do it!
That's it!
Hakkeyoi! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Match over!
Ryuki!
Well done!
Newly named Ozeki Ryuki shows no signs of feeling the pressure
as he defeats Komusubi ranked Encho.
He marks his first day with a win.
RYUKOKU STABLE
Here you are, Ozeki.
Enjoy!
To celebrate Day One.
I'll have some as well.
- Congrats. - Cheers.
You call yourself an Ozeki...
with soulless sumo like that?
I'm so sorry.
What are you apologizing for?
Who in the hell are you wrestling for anyway?
Oyakata, today is a--
I know what day it is!
Oh no.
Oh dear.
- Sorry. - Oh my.
Don't worry.
Oh.
- Are you okay, my dear? - Yes.
My, what a mess.
Okay. That should do it.
- Yes. - Good.
My word.
SANCTUARY
Hey, you! Jerk!
You see a garbage can?
You picking a fight with me? Hmm?
Who touched it last? Huh? Huh?
You, right? Huh? Huh?
So why don't you throw it out, you old fart?!
Moron!
Oh!
- What's going on? - Shh!
It's sad to say goodbye so soon.
That brat you call Enno...
make him resign now.
RESIGNATION LETTER.
Oyakata, the last thing you need is for us to suspend your whole stable.
It sure doesn't look like you can afford it financially.
I'm ordering you to retire Enno by the end of the day!
- Hey, you can't go in there! - Don't you dare!
Sorry to interrupt you all!
- Get out of here! - That won't do, will it?
Not when you have such a distinguished guest.
At least let me say hello. That's the polite thing to do, isn't it?
Seriously, are you that dumb?
Anyway, I won't do it again. I promise. Cross my heart.
So don't be mad!
I'll be your, uh, next Yokozuna before you know it.
Just cut me some slack, okay?
Wait, you were a Yokozuna before, right?
Huh?
Listen here, you punk!
You're totally done! You're finished now!
Since the last tournament, we've been flooded with complaints about you!
You disgust people!
Yeah, but I won't do it again.
We don't need trash like you in this sport.
Don't you understand you're already a blasphemy against sumo?
Say something, Ensho!
You're right, of course.
Huh?
You're so strict when it comes to our Oyakata. Why?
Oh!
Is it because you couldn't beat him when you were competing back in the day?
Wait, is that it?
What are you saying?
Oh, is that it?
Oh no. I'm sorry! Really! Please forgive me.
I'm so insensitive sometimes.
Aw, man. Sorry about that.
So that's it. You couldn't beat him.
- Ah, can't bring that up, can I? - Why you...
Excuse me.
Come here.
I'm sorry we haven't welcomed you.
I thought about bringing tea, but...
- Here. - No, I don't want any.
I have to drive tonight.
And you, Inushima Oyakata?
I'm fine. Thanks.
Is that so?
Well, then, allow me to apologize on behalf of our new wrestler Enno.
Call it the ignorance of youth.
Pardon me, Okami-san,
but "the ignorance of youth" can't explain it away.
But you understand that.
Correct, Inushima Oyakata?
What are you saying?
If I recall, before you were promoted to Ozeki,
you were quite strict with a certain younger wrestler, remember?
And that young wrestler suffered some health problems as a result.
I know discipline is a sign of love,
but in this day and age it can be a bit much.
Right?
At that time,
I believe it was Chairman Kumada who intervened for you.
He said, "The ignorance of youth."
How about it, Oyakata?
Just one glass to start?
That groveling piece of shit!
He'll do anything to get ahead.
Oyakata.
He's trying to settle old scores with me by targeting Ensho Stable.
Even so, you need to have a talk with Enno.
Well, I guess you're right, but...
Dignity is an important factor of sumo.
Of course I get that.
But at the end, winning is way more important.
Rack up victories... get the fans going...
The sumo where fans are so excited they throw their cushions.
I love that stuff!
Oh, Oyakata, I'm so glad to hear you say that.
You're exactly right.
In sumo, all that matters is getting the crowd fired up.
Oh, and you, Okami-san. Now that's how it's done!
Goddamn it!
That fucking bitch!
She thinks she's better than me!
That damn bitch.
She knows she has the privilege to speak out.
What do you mean?
That annoying woman is Kumada's daughter.
Kumada? You mean Chairman Kumada?
She's the daughter of his mistress.
Everyone knows about it.
Old man Kumada has a soft spot for her.
She knows damn well we can't cross her directly.
She gets a free pass.
Damn it!
Those goddamn monkeys...
I'll nail them one by one until they shut the damn stable down.
Starting with that dumb ape.
Why are you so obsessed with that kid?
He's like Ensho.
That mocking attitude...
They're two of a kind.
Fuck!
- Enno! - What?
- How bad are you gonna humiliate me? - What's going on? Calm down!
Come back!
- Where do you think you're going, huh? - Cut it out! Calm down already!
Listen!
Try and pull another stunt at your next bout,
I'll rip that leg off...
and shove your foot right up your ass!
Got it?
Yes!

Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Too close.
- They forced him to change up his style. - Enno!
That umpire pisses me off.
Good work.
Not with sumo like that.
He's finally gaining passion for the sport.
Yeah.
The time limit has expired. Shizuuchi is on the left.
Ryusakae on the right.
He propels him backwards.
Ryusakae has a good position grabbing the front side of the mawashi.

This is the last chance for both wrestlers.

Hakkeyoi! Nokotta!

It's fine. I'll win no matter what.
How cool!
That reminds me.
Here.
This is Chanel!
Well, you lost your wallet, right?
Oh!
Wow! This is so great!
I had actually planned to give it to you after you won the tournament.
But you know you'll win, right? So why not now.
But still, this is expensive.
I had some extra money to spend.
Man...
Hey, uh, will you take a picture?
Sure.
Say cheese!
I have a question for you.
Good evening.
Enno's opponent for tomorrow is from your stable, correct?

Of course. It's handled.
Good luck today!

Very well. I leave it to you.
I'm counting on you.
If you win, you're the champion.
Good luck.
Shut up.
Kenchozan versus Takaryo!
It's time.
I know, all right?
Enno, I hope you lose!
You suck!
Everyone hates that guy.
No way he's going to beat Bagari.

Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Look at that. He's got no chance.
Ah!
Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Do it now!
Listen. He's going to try to injure you.
He'll probably try to break your arms. Play along at first.
Then, when you're finally close together...
...use this.
Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Nokotta! Nokotta!
- Push him out! -Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Match...
Huh? Why didn't he...
So sorry!
Match over!
Oh, sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry!
Coming through. Sorry.
- You goddamn punk! - Sorry about that. Oh!
Nice fight.
Hey! Yell at him!
That's a penalty, isn't it?
You can't let him do that!
It's undignified!
What about the rules?
You should be mad!
- Get out of here! - It's not fair!
You're the cheater!
It's not fair!
You call that sumo?
You don't belong in the dohyo!
Come on!
After winning the Jonokuchi division
in the last tournament,
he now wins Jonidan with a perfect record.
It's unfair, right?
Don't you think?
You're happy now?
I'm very happy!
But it's unfair. Oh!
- Boo! - Get out of here!
Boo!
Congratulations! You okay, though?
Never been better.
Oyakata! I'm not wrong, am I?
They started it, right?
So it's not my fault. It's all their fault, isn't it?
What's with him?
Shizuuchi has won six straight in this tournament.
Facing him will be Ryusa from Ryukoku Stable.
Ryusa has also won six straight. It's a showdown between perfect records.

What are you doing?
I... I won today, so, please...
I don't like the way you're talking.
- Yeah, but-- - Here.
But...
- Excuse me, sir. - Yeah, but...
Compliments of the customer. Congratulations.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. - Thank you so much!
I saw you wrestle.
Oh yeah, really?
You know, I like to watch strong men.
Your face!
Hey, let's go somewhere.
CHANKO IZAKAYA TEPPO
Sorry to keep you waiting. Here's your rolled omelette.
It's nice to see Enya make it back to Juryo.
Yeah, it's nice. It really is.
Huh? What's with you?
- Say, Ogawa... - Hmm?
- Did you see Enno wrestle? - Yeah, of course.
He did it on purpose, right? When he stepped on Umayama's face.
It's unfair!
It's unfair, right?
You know, at that moment, I...
I felt something...
right here.
Huh?
You felt something?
Uh-huh.
- HATE IT, BUT HE MIGHT MAKE IT. - ENNO IS A CLOWN. FUCK HIM!
I'M CLUBBING AND THERE'S A SUMO WRESTLER.
What is he doing?
#ENNO YOU'RE PATHETIC. DISGRACE TO SUMO.
#ENNO FUCK OFF! #ENNO I HOPE YOU DIE
YOU'RE SO GODDAMN FULL OF YOURSELF #ENNO DIE
ENNO FUCK YOU I HOPE YOU DIE, UGLY GORILLA. FUCK YOU.
Enno, why'd you become a wrestler?
Well, I heard you could make money.
Oh yeah?
How much does a Yokozuna make?
- Hundred million yen, I hear. - That's it?
Huh?
The top are still in the millions? That's nothing.
Wait, so tell me.
You want to become a Yokozuna, or you want to make money?
Well...
As long as it makes money, I'll do anything.
Then you should start playing the stock market.
One billion yen is pocket change.
What? No way!
Give it a try.
I'll teach you what stocks to look out for.
- You would do that for me? - Oh yeah.
Enno!
Here, for winning.
You mean it?
For sure! You already know. Whoo!
Whoo! Ah!
Later!
