Don't chase my shadow.
Find your own sumo to follow.
Right.
Thank you for everything.
Hoi!
Now then,
we will ask Shinobu Enya's family to hold the scissors.
Yuwa Hattori, please approach.
Ah, dosukoi, dosukoi!
And now, for the final cut,
we will hand the scissors to Ensho Oyakata.
Oyakata.
Hmm?
Do you remember...
the day I got my shikona name?
ENYA
This will be your shikona.
You lost your father at a young age, and it's been hard.
You skipped high school to support your mother.
You've walked in a deep valley for too long.
But now...
you'll walk through a different valley.
Let's walk together.
We'll climb the hill step by step.
Enya.
Starting here today, you will always be my son.
I...
I didn't make it up the hill.
Nonsense.
You merely reached a new hill to climb.
I did...
think of you as my father, Oyakata.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
You damn fool...
For the rest of your lifetime...
...I'm proud of you, son.
Thank you.

Let's take that off.
Oh.
It's snowing now.
Wonder if it'll stick.
Huh?
I'm back.
Hey.
Working hard, huh?
Yes.
- Be at it a while? - Yes.
Ah, I see.
Well, I'm calling it a night.
Um...
Hmm?
Thank you very much.
What for?
Oh, uh, nothing.
Hmm.
Good luck!
Do your best!
- I'm on my way. - Take care.
Have a good one.
- Yes, sir. I understand. - No mistakes!
- Get to it. - Right. Have a good day.
Have a good day.
JANUARY TOURNAMENT DAY 1
- Hi. Sorry I'm late. - Oh! Hi there.
Good afternoon.
It's these two from day one.
SHIZUUCHI
ENNO
He'll win this time.
Oh, that's it!
...hold with his right hand.
And he's out!
Kirindo wins by yorikiri!
This is Kirindo's first win.
Both challengers are evenly matched.
Otaka starts with tsuppari...
Goryu...
versus Kumakuni!
Enno.
You're up next.
Yeah.
Match over!
Kumakuni!
Kumakuni wins by yorikiri!
Here we go.
Rouko versus...
Waninuma!
For the East Side, Rouko.
Hailing from Ube City, Yamaguchi. Wrestling for Kinro Stable.
For the West Side, Waninuma.
Hailing from Moriyama of Nagoya City. Wrestling for Wanibuchi Stable.
Hakkeyoi! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Nokotta! Nokotta!
Match over!
Umanowaka!
Umanowaka wins by tsuki-dashi!
What's he doing?
- Shizuuchi! - Shizuuchi!
Let's go!
- You can do it, Enno! - Come on, Enno!
- Enno! - You can do it!
Enno!
Shizuuchi versus...
Enno!
For the East Side, Shizuuchi.
Hailing from Rausu, Hokkaido. Wrestling for Koku Stable.
For the West Side, Enno.
Hailing from Moji, Kita-Kyushu City. Wrestling for Ensho Stable.
Shizuuchi versus Enno.
The first time they faced each other
was Day 3 of last year's September tournament.
At that time, both put winning streaks on the line,
but Enno suffered a serious injury
and was forced to withdraw from the tournament.
Many will remember that Shizuuchi, too,
withdrew on the verge of setting a new record for consecutive victories.
That brought his winning streak to an end.
That first bout was quite a fierce one.
Shizuuchi versus Enno.
The two wrestlers are strong adversaries.
Take your positions!
Kunihiko!
I feel the happiest when I see you doing sumo your own special way.
Go!
Go! You can do it!
-Go! -Go! Go, Kiyoshi!
-Kiyoshi, go! -I'm so proud of you!
Isn't sumo fun?
You can do it!
Keep going!
I love you!
It's time!
