SUMO DO, SUMO DON'T

Four!

EPISODE 4

All right.

Five!

Six!

Seven!

Eight!

All right.

- Wait... It's too much. - Nine!

Eighty!

All right...

- One. - Impossible.

Two.

All right.

- Man, 200 shiko is too much for our knees. - Three.

- At least give us a break in between. - Four.

Do you know why the classic bunny hop was banished from every sport?

Six.

The squatting position was too much on the hip, knee, and ankle joints.

Eight.

The risk of damaging the joints and muscles

exceeds the benefits...

Shut up.

Okay.

From 80...

One.

HONOKA OBA, RYOTA MORIYAMA, YUMA ITO, REN NOGUCHI, SHUN KATO

All right!

Two.

I never dreamed this day would come.

The greater the quantity, the better the hot pot tastes.

I know! I wonder why, though.

Apparently, the ingredients cause a chemical reaction,

creating savory flavors.

A chemical reaction? I see.

- Floor cushions. - Oh, thank you!

- Thank you so much. - Thanks.

- You're back? - I'm starving.

- Here... Thank you. - Thank you.

Sorry, but I have another appointment today, so I'll take off.

Aren't you eating?

Sorry, I can't.

Wait, could it be a date?

Seriously? Introduce a girl to me too.

- It's not like that. - I'm going to eat.

Is it Saki?

Oh, from the editorial club?

She's not a girlfriend!

Okay, I'll take off.

See you.

- See you, Shun. - Bye.

Great work.

Thank you.

Being young is great.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Sorry.

I feel the same.

I'll start.

Here, have some kimchi.

Here's your eggplant, zucchini, and extra large bacon pasta...

It's huge! Didn't we order too much?

We can finish it.

Saki got a job too, so I guess I'm the only one left.

Sports team members are busy until they retire. No need to rush.

You can say anything when you have one.

What? Don't treat me like the enemy all of a sudden.

Sorry, but I'm starving.

I thought you had a small appetite.

You're taking the sumo club more seriously than I expected.

It's temporary. I just need the credits to graduate.

But aren't you competing in a match?

Huh? A match?

But it's only for category C. Our opponents can't be that strong.

I'll go and watch for my article.

What? So you're in charge of the sumo club, after all?

- Didn't I tell you? - No, you didn't!

I couldn't find anyone else.

Can you really handle both the track club and the sumo club?

No problem. I'm done with job hunting.

You don't need to force yourself to come.

What? That makes me want to go even more.

Sumo looks more exciting than I thought, so I want to watch.

Then I'll join you. When is it?

It's the Saturday after the next one.

Saturday? Sure.

Are you serious?

Yes, I want to see you in a loincloth.

It's a "mawashi."

Oh, a mawashi...

Make it exciting enough for the school paper.

Sure.

Gross... I told you we ordered too much.

The springtime of youth is amazing.

What's that all about?

Our members are going through different things.

That's the springtime of youth?

Yes.

You may not feel it now, but you'll know when you look back one day.

I see.

Don't act like that. You should go find love too.

Aren't you in love with anyone?

In love?

Yes.

I won't say I'm not.

What? Then you are?

Well, I guess I am.

Really?

Then do you feel your heart ache when you can't see him?

Or think of him so much that you can't sleep or eat?

I wouldn't want that.

Right.

Yes.

I got it. I see. Good night then.

Good night.

- Make sure you lock up, okay? - I will.

Good work today.

What are you all doing?

I mean... Well...

Hurry and get home.

- Okay. - Okay.

Good work today.

I'm all right.

Gather up!

Okay.

Everyone, there's only one week left until the match.

She's in such high spirits.

It's been four years! I've waited for this day for so long!

This is the agenda for today. Ta-da!

FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH

We'll decide the order of the match.

Any preference?

I want to go last and get the most attention.

Wait. It's not about attention. It's about our strategy.

For sure, the order will significantly affect the results.

Yes.

Right, a team match is like chemistry.

According to my research, bigger players tend to go third or fifth.

To increase our chances of winning,

either myself or the old man should be pawns.

Old man?

Musclehead or Ryota can go first

since they have a better chance of winning.

Who are you calling a musclehead?

- Calm down. - Calm down.

But if we both lose, we're done, right? It's too much responsibility.

No one is a sacrificial pawn.

Do your best whoever your opponent is.

Well, you're right, but...

There's only one way to decide.

Here.

From the oldest to youngest.

Oh, I see.

Here.

Let's show them at the same time.

Okay.

Ready?

REN NOGUCHI, NONE

RYOTA MORIYAMA AIM FOR ONE WIN!

10TH WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIPS 100TH EAST JAPAN TOURNAMENT

- Okay. - Wait.

Perfect.

- Could you help me now? - Okay, done.

- Thank you. How is it? - All right.

A little more...

KYORITSU UNIVERSITY SUMO CLUB

What a special atmosphere.

All we see are mawashi.

Of course. It's a sumo match.

- Anyone can look cool in a mawashi. - What?

In my hometown, it's called "mawashi magic."

That's exactly right, "mawashi magic"!

It makes them look 30, no, 50 percent better.

100TH EAST JAPAN TOURNAMENT PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS

I'm thankful just for the fact that Kyoritsu can join in the team match.

Thank you.

You may have just started with sumo,

but it could be the same for your opponent.

Speaking from experience,

most injuries happen when newbies compete seriously.

Be careful out there.

- Okay. - Ms. Natsuko!

Oh, Kumada!

- Thank you for coming. - Hey!

How do you feel?

We'll have a feast after the match.

Tanaka is preparing it as we speak,

so do your best to make it a celebration party.

Okay.

What's that?

Are you guys nervous?

Put your spirit into it!

- Oh, you're strong. - Show me the spirit!

You think they'll be all right?

They're too tense.

They're making me nervous too.

What? There's hardly anyone watching. It's pretty much only the competitors.

The morning is only for category C.

The stronger category A teams compete in the afternoon.

Wow, you know your stuff. As expected from a chief editor.

Hmm.

Only four schools are in category C, so it doesn't draw much attention.

The only ones paying attention are us.

All right...

So the chief editor did come.

She said to make today newsworthy.

I guess I'll just have to show her.

Don't overestimate yourself.

You think getting injured will make a good report?

Honoka!

Kaito!

- It's been so long. - It has.

Can I introduce you?

Who's that?

It can't be...

No way.

Allow me to introduce you to Kaito Yoshioka,

the captain of Hokuto Gakuin and a childhood friend of mine.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Thank you for taking care of Honoka.

No way. They don't do anything.

How have you been?

It's like they're speaking a foreign language.

- Seriously. - How's everyone doing?

I just remembered.

Kaito Yoshioka was last year's heavyweight class champion.

Oh, wow!

Talk to you later.

See you.

Ah.

What?

He looks strong.

Really? We belonged to the same dojo.

You were all smiles.

What?

I see how it is.

What are you talking about?

You guys are too relaxed. That team might crush us.

In sumo, there's less risk of injury with skilled opponents.

Remember what we were told?

It's more dangerous when beginners go up against each other.

"See you."

Honoka is right.

Don't lose your cool and just try to use brute strength.

Stay calm.

"See you."

Okay... Keppare!

What?

It means "Do your best." Keppare!

- Oh... Okay. - Okay.

- All right! Come on! - Okay!

All right!

- You too! - Honoka...

Ready?

Keppare!

- All right! Fight! - Keppare!

- It's finally time! - Yeah!

Oh, could that be...

You guys have practiced hard. It'll be a shame if you lose to Kyoritsu.

Ken of Hokuto!

- Wow! - "Ken of Hokuto"? Who's he?

An old rival of ours. Wow, he's a coach now!

This is about back-to-back wins. Show us everything you've learned.

Okay!

East, Hokuto Gakuin University. West, Kyoritsu University.

Bow!

I can see them! Kayo, they're there!

- What? Is it starting? Let me see... - Yes.

Wow, go get them!

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, Kyoritsu!

First match. East, Mikuni.

West, Noguchi.

- Go, Noguchi! - Do your best.

Ouch...

Show it to them, Ren!

Show them!

You're doing great!

That's enough. Hurry up.

- I'm sorry. - Mikuni, be serious.

Get back.

Bow!

Ready? Assume your positions!

Go!

Match complete!

Child's play!

Bow!

- I'm sorry. - East wins.

Second match. East, Gotoda. West, Kato.

Yes.

Shun, go get him!

I have a plan.

Bow!

Ready? Assume your positions!

Go!

Shun, go!

Match complete!

Ooh. Ooh.

Third match. West defaults.

Bow!

East wins.

Fourth match. East, Kaibara.

Yes.

West, Ito.

Yes.

- Go, Yuma! - Do your best, Yuma!

All right.

Isn't he so cool?

Look at his muscles!

Bow!

He looks so cool!

Did you see that? He looked at me!

His smile is so cute too!

He looks so strong!

He's awesome!

You're great!

Show it to him!

What are you guys doing?

Ready? Assume your positions!

Stay calm!

Go!

Match complete!

- That was dangerous. - Are you okay?

Darn it!

East wins!

Calm down. It's okay.

I'd dodge you too if you lunged at me like that.

Shut up.

Easy.

Fifth match. East, Yoshioka.

West, Moriyama.

- Kayo, the next one is starting. - Oh, wait for me!

- Go, get him! - Go, Ryota!

Ryota!

Do your best!

Kaito, don't let him play sumo.

Okay!

- We trust you! - Captain, get him!

Keppare!

Finally.

Bow!

Ready? Assume your positions.

Go!

Match complete!

Bow!

East wins!

East, Hokuto Gakuin University wins with a score of five to zero.

- It's a total defeat. - Bow!

My leg hurts.

It's okay. They're strong.

They're favored to win the championships this year.

- We'll start over. - Yes.

Do we have any data about our next opponents?

Data?

To analyze their signature moves or tendencies.

For us newbies to fight without data

is like going to war with a bamboo stick.

He's right.

We have no data. And the next opponent, Shikokukan, has lots of backups.

They have different members each time from their football or soccer clubs.

- Bow! - Let's do it!

Let's do it.

Oomasa, go get him!

- Go! - All right.

Ready? Assume your positions.

Go!

- Go! Push him out! - Push him!

Match complete!

All right!

Shun, do your best!

- I can win. - What?

I have a plan. I'll go for hasso-tobi.

Hasso-tobi?

Bow!

- Crush him! - Get him!

All right!

Ready? Assume your positions!

Go!

Match complete!

It's a hasso-tobi!

Amazing!

Go!

Wow!

Match complete!

Amazing!

What are they doing?

West defaults.

East wins.

Good job!

Ready? Assume your positions!

Go!

- Show him what you've got! - Go!

Match complete!

Darn it!

- Ready? Assume your positions! - You can do it!

Go!

Match complete!

How pitiful.

Hey!

Thank you.

- Good job, guys. - Thanks.

You bragged that you'd get one win. Are you just all talk?

They'll get the next one. I mean, they trained so hard.

Kumada, there's no way they'll lose to them.

There's no way we'll lose. Trust us.

You sure about that?

You better not lose!

Let's do our best.

We're counting on you.

- Good luck. - Let's go.

Don't drop your guard. Sumo isn't all about power.

I have another plan.

What?

Next competitors, please get ready.

Ryota, go!

- Get this one! We're counting on you. - This is it. Calm down.

First match. East, Asahi.

Yes.

West, Noguchi.

Do your best!

Ren, you can do it!

Ready? Assume your positions!

Go!

- Go! Slap him! - Ren, you can do it!

Ren, throw him!

Match complete!

I did it!

Ready? Assume your positions!

- Go, Shun! - Stay calm.

- All right! - Get him!

Go!

- Match complete! - He did it!

Third match. West defaults.

East wins!

Yes!

Yuma, keep your eyes on him.

Don't dash forward anymore.

Ready? Assume your positions!

Go!

Match complete!

Yes! I did it!

- One win! - Get out of a way.

One win! One win! One win!

Get back.

Bow! East wins!

- Hey, judge! Where are your eyes? - It's west.

You can't swing your arms when you do hari-te.

Don't you know the rules?

Get back.

The win goes to East!

East wins!

HOKUTO GAKUIN UNIVERSITY SECOND PLACE: SHIKOKUKAN UNIVERSITY

HONNICHI UNIVERSITY FOURTH PLACE: KYORITSU UNIVERSITY

Hey.

Are you guys mocking sumo?

No manners, no rules.

Don't fool around again.

- Oh... hello! - It's been a while.

What happened to the strong Kyoritsu?

I became a coach to beat Kyoritsu...

but it was too easy.

Don't disappoint me.

Excuse me.

Let's go.

Okay.

Excuse me. May I take a picture of the ring?

- Go ahead. - Thank you.

It's sand.

Thank you for coming.

Good job. You were close.

I could have won but lost on a foul. What a joke.

Come one, let's go and eat!

- Sure. - Sorry, but we have a review meeting.

Okay, but don't take it too hard.

I'm not. I feel great that it's over.

What?

Nothing.

Good job.

Thanks.

Good job.

Thanks. Bye!

See you.

More pictures?

I'm done.

- Let's go. - Okay.

- Would you like some? - Sorry...

Here you go...

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Honoka isn't coming?

She wants to get ready for tomorrow's match.

- I see. - Yes.

Let's eat.

- Okay. - Yes.

The result isn't what we wanted,

but you guys did great for the first match in four years.

She's right. You guys will do nothing but grow from here.

You're just getting started.

How can you be so carefree?

Kumada...

I'm ashamed.

None of you can properly do sumo. You don't understand what it is.

With all due respect,

but you wanted one member when we didn't have any.

And when we got one, you wanted a team.

And now you want to win.

People certainly are greedy.

What's wrong with that? No one wants to lose.

I know. But the members are the ones who are the most frustrated.

Don't rub salt into their wounds.

You're right.

I was wrong in saying it could be anyone. You guys can quit sumo right now.

Kumada!

At my age,

I learned that we don't have time to waste on things we don't love.

It doesn't have to be sumo.

Find something you can devote yourselves to.

Let's just have a toast for now.

Let's toast.

Kumada didn't really mean to tell you guys to quit.

I'm not planning...

on forcing myself to continue.

Don't say that.

You're just getting started.

I was promised the credits I need to graduate if I just joined one match.

- What? - What do you mean by that?

Hey... What the hell are you saying?

So that's what it was.

You're right.

You've got what you wanted.

The rest is up to you.

Ms. Natsuko...

Excuse me.

- Hey... wait... - Hey! Stop!

Ryota!

Just keep eating. I'll take care of it.

Ryota.

Ryota...

Ryota, I have a favor to ask.

Could you deliver dinner to Honoka?

I bet she's practicing for tomorrow's match.

- No... - Ryota, you did a good job.

Thanks.

Sure.

You practice this hard even the night before a match?

Why do you love sumo so much?

Did something happen?

No.

Nothing.

What?

About today's match...

What?

Your head was too high at the call. It was horrible.

So crude. Remember the rules at least.

I got it.

I...

started sumo because I was so happy when I beat a boy who was bigger than me.

Sumo isn't all about power.

Anyone can fight against bigger people, no matter how small they are.

That's why I love sumo.

I'm aiming to be number one in Japan.

Thanks for this.

- Good morning! I made it on time. - Good morning.

- All the best to you. - Good morning.

- Did he contact you? - Good morning.

Did you hear from him?

No.

What is Ryota doing?

What happened to him?

I texted him, saying I wanted to get a drink with him.

He hasn't responded? He isn't picking up his phone either.

? In the shade of the old apple tree ?

? When the love in your eyes I could see ?

? When the voice that I heard like the song of the bird ?

? Seemed to whisper sweet music to me ?

? I could hear the dull buzz of the bee ?

? In the blossoms as you said to me ?

? With a heart that is true I'll be waiting for you ?

EPISODE 5 PREVIEW

I quit sumo fair and square yesterday.

Is he really going to quit?

I'm not gonna bow before someone who recruits others and then runs away.

Oh, it's her!

The one that Honoka keeps losing to.

She's strong.

It feels like she's shining.

Unlike me...

Sakurako Yoshino, what was that just now?

How do you have such a strong core?

- How about giving sumo a try? - There's no way...

I mean, sumo is embarrassing.

I think that sumo is really cool.

I have a favor to ask.

SEE YOU NEXT EPISODE!
