Demon Wheel!

The strongest!

Using a sumo technique at that moment...

That was Hinomaru's Demon Wheel!

Yes!

He did it!

Dachi High wins the second bout!

That was judo versus wrestling.

Does this mean wrestling has the upper hand?

No, it doesn't.

This wasn't a battle between two different combat sports.

If this had been a judo bout, Araki would've come out on top.

And conversely, Kunisaki would've had the upper hand in a wrestling match.

But this is sumo.

We may have just heard Kunisaki-kun's first cry as a newborn sumo wrestler.

Bout 8 "What's Done is Done"

Yo, Hotaru!

I made up for your loss, and now we're tied.

Thank you very much!

Ow!

Dude, were you always this strong?

His skill is terrifying.

Yeah.

I've done my bit, Captain.

Thanks to me, we can afford one more loss.

What are you trying to say?

Just thought taking on a stronger opponent might have you quaking in your boots.

Quaking?

Who do you think you're talking to?

After that display you guys just put on,

I've got no intention of letting anyone down.

Winning's the only thought in my mind.

Third bout. On the west side, Gojo-kun.

What's he doing?

On the east side, Kanamori-kun.

He lost, but he isn't getting out of the ring.

Hey, kid...

Hey!

Your strength lies in not overthinking things.

It's our job now to make up for it.

You'll have to do the same someday.

Watch us closely so you'll know what to do when the time comes.

Yuma isn't gonna lose, right?

The guy he's facing looks pretty strong.

But Yuma's won all of his bouts today!

Kanamori-kun, on the west side, wins!

He isn't Ishigami's captain for nothing.

He's got skills.

Kirihito, what are we gonna do if we have to face him?

From the marks on his face, it looks like he's the type to charge in headfirst.

That's what he did in the bout just now.

If he gets close to you, there's no stopping him.

We have one win and one loss.

It's now a best-of-three.

I'll hit him on the chin as soon as we charge.

Hands on the ground.

Even if he's stronger and has trained more than me,

he won't be able to take a whack to the chin.

I can't just leave it up to the other two to win this for us.

Why have I come this far?

If I don't win here...

I'm not a man!

Spirit!

Instead of grabbing him...

...he hit him!

That was Captain Kanamori's Cannon Slap!

Gojo Yuma...

I know who you are.

You're the leader of the Dachi High gang.

Ishi High is the nexus of delinquents in this prefecture,

so we hear all about what goes on in other schools even if we don't care.

More Like Primate

Asshole

Ishigami Private High School

Come to think of it, our club has a long history of scuffling with delinquents.

They used to harass us, time and again.

We've even been barred from competing 'cause of trouble they'd created.

They're an unpleasant bunch, for sure.

Isn't that right, Sanada?

You punks will stop getting in our way!

Yuma!

Oh, no! He's been pushed back to the edge!

Am I gonna lose?

Be helplessly destroyed?

"My opponent's stronger than me"?

"Nothing I can do"?

But I knew that when I stepped into the ring.

What am I doing here?

Why am I here in this ring?

No. You are no longer my student.

I have nothing to teach a thug like you.

Karate Shinshinkan

W-Wait, Takani-chan!

At least hear me out!

Take one more step, and I call the police.

The p-police?

Go on. I'm listening.

I heard you'd joined a sumo club.

A polite young man with thick, long hair

brought me some baked sweets and made a request.

So? Are you just going to let a younger kid ask for you?

Please. Let me practice karate under your tutelage again.

I know I've wasted valuable years of my life.

I realized that after I picked up sumo.

I'm begging you. Let me train here again!

Thing is, those stories about delinquents "seeing the light"

absolutely disgust me!

Some punk-ass kid goes around, causing trouble for a whole load of people,

and then they do one decent thing, and everyone showers them with praise?

What a load of bullcrap.

People who've always done the decent thing are way more worthy of praise.

"What's done is done."

Whether you regret what you did or not,

nothing can change the fact that you used the karate I taught you to hurt people.

Get lost.

You're distracting my students.

Dammit. I don't have time for this.

Huh? What was that?

Please!

I'm out of time! I mean it!

For Ozeki and the rest of my team, I have to win!

I stood in his way for years and deprived him of opportunities he could've had.

I know I can never give him those back.

But I need to do what I can now.

I want to win to atone for what I did!

Why come here?

You could've gone to any other dojo and spared yourself this display.

I don't want to take the easy way out anymore.

Yuma.

I share some of the blame.

As your instructor, I failed to channel your talent properly.

Put on your uniform.

I'll teach you special karate techniques that will help you in sumo.

In karate, you never attack first!

Karate offensive move: Twist and press!

He pulled him forward!

Well done!

Wait, that's a karate flip-and-switch.

I knew a hastily learned karate technique wouldn't be enough to make you fall.

The real attack...

Go!

...is this!

Open hand lunge punch!

He...

He blocked it with his forehead!

In an instant...

...the tables have turned!

Don't underestimate a sumo wrestler, Mr. Karate.

The flip-and-switch won't work here.

He blocked my lunge punch, too.

All I have left is...

This technique's powerful when it lands, but the chances of pulling it off are slim.

What matters is your resolve.

Your heart.

Remember why you're here.

Yuma-san!

He kicked him!

More like a leg sweep!

The captain's leg won't budge an inch from a leg sweep that desperate.

No...

He wasn't trying to move my leg with that kick?

I still have a job to do.

And that job is...

He accelerated.

...to make this sumo club what you want it to be:

The best in Japan!

Captain!

It's working!

Hit him again!

Go!

I was too slow to react!

I hate to admit it, but you're better at thrusting strikes than me.

But...

I won't let you get a win in this team battle!

Three years of high school sumo have led up to this.

My last Inter High!

This year's Ishi High team has the power to fight on a par with the national treasures!

The strongest Ishi High sumo team in history will become the best in Japan!

That is my final dream.

And my final duty as their captain!

Dammit!

He threw Yuma-san with one arm.

No...

As you are now, I don't think I'd lose to you even if we contested a hundred bouts.

But that last strike of yours was undeniably strong.

Now, they have one win and two losses.

Dachi High's got their backs to the wall.

Bow, east!

Nice fight.

I-I'm sorry—

Don't worry.

I'll win and set the stage for Ushio!

Don't go acting all tough. This is your first time, isn't it?

Your first time in a bout where a loss for you will spell defeat for your team.

You're trying to hide it, but I can see it in your stomps.

You're overwhelmed.

I have to win. Otherwise, everyone's hard work will be for nothing.

Don't show weakness.

The two who lost will blame themselves.

I have to be useful to them!

I... I'm the captain!

I have to win!

I'd gotten timid again.

You're too nice, captain.

Is that a roundabout way of saying I'm unreliable?

Well, you're not as reliable as Ishi High's captain, sure.

But what you do have

is a team made up of your former nemesis, a complete novice, and an upstart.

And you have the compassion to accept them all as they are.

We all agree that the only captain our sumo club can have

is Ozeki Shinya.

You've been through more than any of us,

and we want to see you beat the Ishi High.

We want to see it more than anything.

To see you emerge triumphant and have your hard work be rewarded.

You know what to do, Sanada.

Yeah.

But I don't think it'll be easy.

Fourth bout.

On the west side, Ozeki-kun.

On the east side, Sanada-kun.

Sada, sorry about this, but I'm gonna end this team match here.

It's no skin off my nose.

I figured we'd win in three bouts.

I can't believe Gen-chan lost.

Lay off or you'll make me cry!

Don't take these guys lightly.

Sanada, that goes for you, too.

Kanamori, don't worry about me.

I take Ozeki more seriously than anyone else here.

Push, push, Ishi High!

Push, push, Ishi High!

Stay calm!

Captain, fight!

Hands on the ground.

Hey!

Wait, we hadn't started yet!

A false start?

He charged before Ozeki had put his hands on the ground.

D-Don't scare me like that!

I thought it was all over.

He did that on purpose, didn't he?

Yeah.

All the focus he was building up for his charge has dissipated.

And being dumped on his backside may have replaced it with thoughts of losing.

That was dirty, Sanada!

Face off fair and square!

Damn, Sanada-san's ex-delinquent blood is raging.

I've heard tales of his exploits.

He's no delinquent.

But I know why people might get that idea.

Hands on the ground.

H-Hey... Is he ready?

Captain, take a breath.

Spirit!

He wasn't intimidated. He seems even more focused!

I was one step behind.

It seems you awakened in that moment.

Even I'm surprised at how calm I am.

Ishi High's Sanada-san charged at me.

He considers me an equal.

Ushio, guys... I'm gonna win!

He got the first hit in,

but I'm not nice enough to let him win just because of that!

He knocked his hand away!

Rats. He had a good hold!

Honestly, Sanada has the better technique, but...

You can overcome that, Captain.

Overcome his skill with your heart!

What do you mean, he's not a delinquent?

Sanada-san's famous for the "Night of Blood Spray" incident!

He defended the sumo club against a hundred thugs!

I heard it was thirty.

Wha... That's still plenty!

Enough of this nonsense.

There's a bout going on.

Y-Yes, sir.

And it really is nonsense.

What do you mean, you're quitting the sumo club?!

What's wrong, Kanamori? Are you angry?

Ishigami High School Sumo Club

I thought you liked sumo.

I do. I love it more than anyone.

I've just got my hands full right now.

I'll fill you in when I see you.

Where are you right now—

Wh-What's your problem?!

We said it was a joke!

A joke?

Setting fire to the dojo?

Don't mess with people on the straight and narrow!

What's all this?

You quit so the sumo club wouldn't get into trouble for this?

Taking all the blame on yourself...

Wait, why's your fist...

Oh, because it would've been a waste to use sumo on this lot.

Spouting nonsense is what Sanada does best.

He loves sumo and the Ishi High sumo club more than anyone!

His throat!

Drop your weight!

His furious attacks aren't giving him chance to breathe!

Sanada's being merciless against Ozeki!

"Merciless"? Even that isn't enough to beat him.

You don't know the strength Ozeki possesses. A strength completely unlike mine.

Man, I so wanna sumo again.

I hope this suspension ends soon.

What's he doing?

I heard he can't use the dojo because the delinquents took it over.

Wow, that's one determined guy.

So you've had trouble with delinquents, too?

Well, I feel for you,

but unlike you, I fought back and drove the delinquents out.

At first, I thought he was just being vain and figured he wouldn't keep it up for long.

But the sympathy and disdain I felt slowly changed to fear.

I pride myself on liking sumo more than anyone.

But if I was in his shoes...

Training by myself in such an awful situation...

Could I keep at it for two years without cracking?

Could I keep doing stomps and enjoy it?

Have you even noticed how insane your strength to endure is?

Sanada-san's attacks...

...have dried up.

It's really hard to fight the captain when he's defending.

Yeah.

Until now, the captain always lacked patience in a bout.

He charged forward at the wrong times and ended up losing.

But now, he's learned to take his time, dictate the pace, and then go for the kill.

Their moves are canceling each other out, but that's only half the battle.

With their strength so evenly matched, their hearts will be put to the test.

The one with the more heart will win.

Captain!

Just a little more!

Sanada-san!

Frankly, that stuff about winning and being the best in Japan doesn't feel real to me.

But...

We want to see you emerge triumphant and have your hard work rewarded.

If they say that,

I'll use every last ounce of strength in my body!

Damn, this is bad.

My opening flurry has left me out of breath!

Now!

Sanada-san!

Push him out, Ozeki!

Win!

Am I going to lose?

No, I like sumo more!

Captain!

Wh-Who won?!

West side wins!

Two wins, two losses.

It's down to a decider!

Captain!

You guys...

It's too early for tears, captain.

Yeah, it's not over yet.

Ushio, I want you to win.

It's now your turn to have your hard work rewarded.

Here I go.

I finally get to fight you.

Good morning.

Hey! Who the hell are you?!

That's my brother's seat!

I need to eat and get bigger.

No!

Next Bout "Demon and Moon"

It was a dream...
