[bunniefuu]

Hey!

- Hey!
- All right. Stop!

Hey, get off! Hey, what are you doing?

Calm down!

Hey, watch it!

Hey! Calm down!

Oh my... This is a real mess.

Come on!

- Huh?
- Let me go!

Hey, you b*stard!

SANCTUARY

Good grief.

Such a terrible mess.

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

An as*ault in an era
that's all about compliance?

How does that happen?

Sure, but he was provoked
by the other wrestler.

You know that doesn't matter at all.

He hit him, didn't he?
Explain that to the media.

They'll only criticize us and say
we're too old-fashioned in our ways.

Isn't that right, chairman?

Sad to say, but you'll have
to take responsibility this time.

But for your stable
to be closed down permanently, uh...

I'd honestly feel bad
for the other wrestlers

and your... your poor family.

That's too big of a sacrifice.

So to prevent that,

you only have but one choice.

Hmm?

Seriously? I understand.

I'll confirm what happened
with the Ensho Stable.

What's the matter?

Enno has committed as*ault
and is being dismissed.

Seriously?

Oh, hey, Oyakata.
It's been a really long while.

How's that baby boy
of mine doing right now?

Well, physically, he's doing much better.

Of course!
He was a healthy baby when I gave birth.

Right.

So, Oyakata,
I want to ask something important.

You'll pay more when he hits Juryo, right?

Yes.

How much longer before
my boy reaches that division?

Well, about that...

Yeah? What's wrong?

He's being dismissed.

All right.

Good!

And here you are.

You're in quite the good mood.

My meal turned out great today.

So, that's all there is to it?

It's just the small things
that always make me feel happy.

Here's your dinner, Ryuki.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

All right, let's eat.

- Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food.

I heard you proposed a fixed game.

Why are you upset all of a sudden?
What's wrong?

Ito told me.

Everything.

You used a journalist to get to Shizuuchi.

So that his record wouldn't be blemished.

I heard you also tried to seduce Mr. Ito...

- You heard wrong!
- Ito told me everything.

Mr. Ito said you are lowering
the status of the Ryukoku stable.

I want you...

to leave now.

Is it all... all true?

I'm sorry.

What? Wait!

She's a foolish and pathetic woman.

Truly awful.

I'll talk to my father about this.

No.

It won't be enough this time.

Well, what are you gonna do now?

I can't just let the stable close.

I'm just not good enough.

I'm truly sorry for this.

Do not leave.

I deeply apologize for my actions.

What?

I'm sorry I gave birth to you.

And the stable also.

I'm ready to leave.

Oh, it's been a while.

Sure you've been doing well?

Sorry for the call.

Do you...

remember...

the promise that we once made?

You had made me a promise form back then.

Before I left you.

Hello?

It's Murata.

I'm sorry about that day.
Uh, I want to apologize.

Can we meet up?

Yeah!

Uh-oh!

INUSHIMA STABLE

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'm Kunishima.

I'm in charge of the sumo editorial
for Kanto Shimbun.

Why are you here this late?

Enno's punishment.

Please withdraw it.

- What?
- Please, I beg you!

Who the heck do you think you are?

- Why do you even care about him?
- Please, I beg you!

Go home, or I'll have you banned!

What are you doing?

I want
to see more of Enno's sumo.

Watching his sumo...

brings me great joy.

Ridiculous.

I beg you! Wait! Listen to me!

What the hell's wrong with you?

Wait!

- I beg you! Please listen to me!
- Let go! Good grief.

- Someone get her off me!
- I won't let go!

Let go of me!

- Let go!
- Ouch! Please wait!

Please!

Let go, you little...

- Please!
- You little...

Please!

- Hey! Hey!
- Wait!

Please!

Let go!

- Wait! Please listen!
- Hey, let go!

- Just... please!
- You little...

Please wait!

Oyakata, doesn't he excite you?

As a former sumo wrestler?

The decision was made.

And it's final!

Okay, now push! All right!

Come on!

Enno.

Uh... What are you doing?

Oyakata,
doesn't he excite you?

As a former sumo wrestler?

CHAMPION, SEPTEMBER 2005
OZEKI KENGA YOHEI-ZEKI

What did
you want to talk about?

I have...

a favor to ask of you.

Which is?

I'd like you
to withdraw Enno's punishment.

How about this...

You just ban him from the next tournament.

Does that sound good?

Wait.

Why would you want that?

Well...

...it's complicated, actually.

A tad bit private.

You want me to withdraw
Enno's punishment over a private matter?

With all due respect,

isn't treating
the Ensho Stable like you are...

as your enemy a private matter?

Whenever you reached
a critical point during your career,

the person who always
got in your way was Ensho.

As a result,
your career ended as an Ozeki.

In other words...

the victories I had lent you to advance...

were meaningless.

I need you to give back...

what I lent to you.

CHAMPION, SEPTEMBER 2005
OZEKI KENGA YOHEI-ZEKI

- I'm coming.
- Thank you. Thanks, thanks.

Uh, hello?

- Thank you.
- Oyakata?

Hmm?

That was the association
who just called us.

Oh.

Oh...

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Good morning.

W... Wait, really?

That's great news!

Ah!

They withdrew Enno's dismissal.

Oh, yes!

Oh yes!

Yes, that's right!

Oh, not at all.
I'm just so happy to hear that.

Yes.

Are you crying?

No, I'm not.

No?

You are, aren't you?

That's sexual harassment.

Even this?

You can't just run away!

f*ck you!

Oh my...

Aren't you the energetic one?

I came to motivate you.

Aren't you glad?

You don't have to quit.

What's with that look?

You lose just once, now you're all scared?

You're supposed to be paying off
all your father's bills.

Give me that. Huh!

You...

What is your problem?

What's wrong with you?

Hey, let go!

Huh?

GOAL 8 MILLION YEN

You're saving money for your father, huh?

You're saving up to get back
our sushi restaurant that went bankrupt.

Huh?

OZE SUSHI

Stick with sumo, you fool!

Give up!

I'm sorry!

Get up!

Pull yourself together, dammit!

You're pathetic! Take that!

Now that's the look I know.

They're so crazy.

What? Vapes aren't allowed here?

Since we're here in the city,
want to go to Tokyo Skytree?

Oh, sounds great!

Hey, don't be naughty.

You're turning me on.

Ma'am...

Ma'am... Wait, ma'am!

Why are you here in Tokyo?

Ma'am?

Why?

Thanks to you.

Because of your outstanding efforts,

we were able to avoid disaster.

Oh, it wasn't me.

It was the good luck
that your virtue brought upon us.

Okami-san asked me
for a fixed match, and I thought...

"Oh..."

"Fate has come around."

"They came to me..."

"by their own will with the noble purpose
of getting rid of anything that was evil."

I guess everything...

was guided by the gods.

Yes.

The evil spirit that was haunting Ryuki
is now officially calm.

He is no longer dependent.

And is sure to become a great Yokozuna
who will maintain your legacy.

I am so grateful!

You can do this!

We're at a slope. A slope! Keep it up!

One!

Two!

Three!

Damn it!

Once more!

Damn it!

Damn it!

- Hey.
- What?

Start by building your form.

What if you lowered
your initial crouch?

Your initial attack is very sharp, Enno.

I think attacking lower
will give you more power.

He's doing well.
He has six wins and one loss.

Who is that?

This is our Oyakata.

Well,
during this tournament,

Enfu's sharp attack from his low crouch
has been a powerful move.

It's great!

It's time!

The initial crouch is crucial. Time is up.

That low crouch...

- is what you should aim for.
- Nokotta!

At once,
Enfu attacks from a low stance.

And Enfu wins with
a left-handed dashi-nage and yorikiri.

He gets his seventh victory
on the eighth day.

Low.

Low.

Hey.

Get much lower.

Hey, step back a little.

Hmm.

Move forward by keeping that low stance.

Okay.

Keep your stance low and drive forward.

That's not good enough.

Shizuuchi will never
be beaten with that stance.

Please teach me!

Teach me how I can be better.

Please, I beg you!

Huh?

Really?

The final match will now begin.

Kunihiko...

Kunihiko, you got this!

Good luck!

Sota!

Go, Sota!

That's gross.

Kunihiko!

Stop looking down!

Bow.

Hakkeyoi!

- Nokotta!
- Kunihiko, go!

- Push! Push! Push!
- Go! Keep going!

- You can do it!
- Wait!

- Wait! Oh!
- Nokotta!

- Hai! Match over!
- Yes!

- Let's go, Kunihiko! You're so strong!
- Kunihiko wins!

You did it!

- Yay!
- Kunihiko, yes!

Kunihiko! Yes! Yes! Yes! You're the best!

Kunihiko, you're great!

You were awesome, Kunihiko.

Kunihiko.

Whoa!

Take this.

A prize for you.

- Here.
- Ah! Mm-hmm.

You were so strong!

He certainly was!

- Really strong.
- Wow!

You're so quick.

You're so good at it.

This one's flat too.

Go!

- It just drops.
- It dropped?

Champion crown.

- Here, look. I found a really flat one.
- Oh wow!

Cool. Good job finding it.

Oh, hey, why don't we eat this?

Huh?

Ta-da!

Wow. Amazing!

Mmm.

Hey, you know what?

I feel the happiest when I see you
doing sumo your own special way.

- Hey, wasn't this such a great day?
- I had a great day, Mom.

You did great.

- Wasn't your brother cool?
- Mmm.

So amazing.

Yeah!

- PAY ME BACK
- DIE

- YOU THIEF
- WORTHLESS MOTHER

DIE

WORST PARENT

I'LL GO TO THE KIDS' SCHOOL NEXT.
BE PREPARED.

Let's go.

Kunihiko.

You will experience...

sad things during your life.

And when you do...

you must try to smile.

You have to force yourself...

to smile.

2011 RAUSU CHILDREN'S SUMO
CHAMPION

Hey, you know what?

I feel the happiest when I see you
doing sumo your own special way.

- Get down lower!
- Sir!

Don't lower your head, dammit!

- Hit upwards, then from below!
- Sir!

Nice! You got this! Keep going!

The Ensho Stable
is engulfed in passion.

Bring it! All right!

Oh yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's it!

He's getting carried away.

Moron.

- Thanks. I'm tired.
- You didn't do anything.

Curl your fingers tightly.

Takahashi,
what kind of chanko are we having?

- Today is chan-chan.
- Huh?

- Yes.
- Kimchi?

The pinky is
the source of your strength.

Train it the hardest.

Then you won't let go of the mawashi.

Enno's passion
has roused the entire stable.

Keep it up!

Just a little bit more!

Hey, Kunishima.

Having fun with sumo yet?

Of course! Doing so good, as*h*le!

- Good morning
- Good morning.

Good morning.

Morning.

And they have begun to change.

Hey, don't look down! Look ahead!

Yes, sir!

- Lower! Hey, lower!
- Yes, sir!

Don't slack off!

That's more like it!

Keep your weight on your front.

Crouch lower!

- Hold still! Upward!
- Sir!

Come on!

Hey, are you sure?

Yup.

This is nothing.

Let's go, Enno.

You scared?

Don't get scared.

What will you do?

Stay afraid?

f*ck no.

If you run again, you're done.

If I do...

then k*ll me!

A fighting spirit
dwells in their eyes.

Push! Push!

They push
their bodies to their limits.

Lower! Lower!

- Come on! Let's go!
- Forward. Forward.

Their hearts are set forward.

Lower! Crouch lower!

That's right! Lower!

Faster! Faster! Faster!

Push! Push! Push! Push!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Elbows in!

Yes, sir!

Much lower! Keep up the energy!

Yes, sir!

Two!

Good morning.

Good morning!

Dammit!

- You reacted well!
- Thanks.

You reacted well,
but your head was too low.

Oh.

My head was low.

I have to look up.

You have to keep going
until the end!

Oh really?

- Dammit!
- All right!

Don't let them get to you!

They're not getting to me!

What'd you say to me?

Yes. Even I...

Even I want to be stronger!

Bring it...

ugly gorilla.

It takes one to know one, ugly.

Now swing those arms! Swing them!

Look, your butt is too high again.
Get down.

Right.

All right.

Only in their keiko
can they find their own style.

Lower!

Maybe they won't even find that.

Come on! Go!

- Even still...
- Push! Push! Push!

...they continue to search
within the sanctuary, the dohyo.

...nine, one hundred!

Get up!

Come on! Enga! Enga!

SHIZUUCHI RETURNS

- Serve that too.
- Yes, sure.

Excuse me.

- Seconds!
- Sure.

Seconds, please.

Mmm.

Oh!

Thank you for everything you do for us.

We'd like to pay another visit
for training again soon.

Oh, is that so?

Oh, then when that time comes...

I will contact you.

Thank you!

They grow in skill
with each passing day.

Come on, stick with it!

Yeah!

- Yes!
- Once more, please!

Yes!

Once more!

sh*t!

Once more!

He's getting good.

He still has ways to go.

They're bursting with strength,

and their souls are shining.

- Yeah! Come on! Come at me!
- Not yet!

Keep moving forward!

- Inside the dohyo...
- Keep the feet moving forward!

Keep the feet moving!

...their strength flows out.

- All right!
- Keep going!

Stand up right away!

Come at me again!

Come on! Go!

Yeah!

Once more!

Covered in dirt,
their souls bloom.

They aim...

for the pinnacle of sumo.

you're really up for this?

I guess he is.

- You're wasting everyone's time.
- Hey, Bagari, be gentle with him.

Hey.

Try not to as*ault me
if you lose this time.

Don't k*ll him. Don't k*ll him.

He's going to avoid you.
Stay on your toes.

- All right!
- Oh!

So good.

- That was incredible sumo.
- Yeah, so good.

Once more.

- You little...
- Bagari!

What the hell was that?
