[announcer on TV]
We've reached the time limit,
and both competitors are ready to go.
Komatora is throwing a lot of salt,
and the whole crowd loves it.
Presiding over the match is Kojiro Kimura.
Encho will want to retreat
and maintain distance
while Komatora will go after him.
The one who wins this match
will secure their eighth tournament win.

[Sanae continues crying]
Just take her to a brothel
so she can work.
A brothel?
I'm your mother, huh?
You sure never act like it.
Yeah, it's my fault.
He's the one who ruined the sushi shop
and used up all my money
to pay back the loan.
You blame me
for his incompetence, huh? Huh?
- Huh?
- No.
- Huh?
- It's my fault.
This is all my fault.
- I'm sorry.
- Just don't.
Hey.

- Smoke?
[Enno sucks teeth]
[man 2 sighs] It's all right.
- Hey!

It's not for me to say,
but don't be desperate.
- Hang in there, okay?
- [man 2] Come back inside. Let's continue.
Come back in. Go inside. Come back in.
[switches click]
[Shimizu] Hey, you're
supposed to bow first.
[Enno sighs] Who cares?
Does bowing make you stronger?
[man 1 exhales]
[slapping]
Morning. [yawns]
- [Shimizu] Good morning.
- [man 2] Morning.
- Morning.
- [slaps]
[exhales] Huh?
- Hey!
- [Enno grunts]
That's the Oyakata's seat!
- [Enno] You fucking pig!
- [both grunting]
Good morning!
- [man 3] Good morning.
- Good morning.

- [man 7] Morning.
- [man 8] Morning.
- [man 9] Morning.
[Enno breathing heavily]
[dramatic music playing]
[Enno exhales]
[Ensho] His legs are still weak.
- [man 1] Really?
- [Ensho] Yeah.
But I think he's gotten better.
- [man 1] Enku is doing pretty well.
- [Ensho] Yeah, he is.
Ah, good morning.
Thank you for having us today.
[wrestlers shuffling]
[wrestler 1 exhales]
- Good morning.
- Oh, hey.
Your knees?
They're better.
Ah, then you're ready
to rejoin Makuuchi, huh?
When I am, treat me to yakiniku next time.
Ah, calm down.
I'm just an average salaryman.
Ah, ask your patron right here.
- [wrestler 1] Please treat me.
- [chuckles] Sure, I don't mind.
Hey, didn't you say you'd write
about this stable in a book?
Ah! You better make us look good.
"It's a sumo stable
on the verge of bankruptcy
because they're caught up in tradition."
That could be a movie. [chuckles]
Ah, shut up! Stop lying.
That's why I like it here. Really.
Oh, that's right.
Uh, we have a new editor with us.
Kunishima.
Oh really? I thought
she was your mistress. [chuckles]
[men chuckle]
[man 2] Hey, kiddo, greet them!
Please don't call me that.
I'm Kunishima.
Nice to meet you.
[man 2] Sorry, she grew up in the US.
- Ah, America?
- [man 2] Yes.
- Sorry.
- [Ensho] America
[man 1] Must've been tough. [chuckles]
- [wrestlers grunting]
- That's right!
Take it slow! Keep pushing!
- That's great.
- [grunting continues]
- [Enku panting]
- Keep it going. Come on.
- [grunting continues]
- Yes!
Kunishima, pictures.
- [wrestler 1] Push! Push!
- [grunting continues]
- Enku is getting stronger.
- [wrestler 1] All right.
He's still too much
on the straight and narrow.
[man 1] We need him to support the stable.
[wrestler 1] Come at me.
- [Enku groans]
- [wrestler 1] Again!
- Get set! Right! Slowly!
- [camera shutter clicks]
- Yes, that's good. Push with your legs!
- [Enku continues grunting]
[Enku panting]
[wrestler 1] Push all the way!
That's good!
- [wrestler 2] Hey!
- [Shimizu panting, grunts]
[wrestler 2] Use your legs! Come on!
[wrestler 3] Come on, push!
- [Shimizu groaning]
- [wrestler 3] Fight him again.
What do you think you're doing?
Hey, hey, hey! Hey!
[Shimizu yells]
[grunts, whimpers]
[wrestler 2] You're weak!
- [Shimizu panting]
- [wrestler 2] Hey!
Come on!
[Shimizu whimpering]
- Hey!
- [Shimizu grunts]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Shimizu continues whimpering]
Hey, stand up.
I said to stand!
[wrestler 2] Don't come crying
in the dohyo!
[Shimizu grunts, whimpers]
- Loser.
- [camera shutter clicking]
[Shimizu continues whimpering]
[wrestler 2 sucks teeth, sighs]
[Shimizu continues whimpering]
[Shimizu breathing heavily]
Hey
Come.
Here he comes. The problem child.
Oh.
Not you.
Oh, sorry.
Hey, ugly gorilla. Get in there.
[wrestler 4 grunts]
Ugly gorilla? You want to die?
Oh wow, that triggered him. [chuckles]
- Who do you think you're talking to?
- Get in there.
[wrestler 3] Get in there.
- Go.
- [Enku] Get in there.
[Enno sucks teeth]
[wrestler 2] Hey.
Where's your bow, huh?
[chuckles]
[beats chest]
[wrestler 2 sucks teeth]
Go!
[gasps]
[both grunting]
Just a one-trick pony.
Hey! Do it right!
No time for stupid tricks! Go at it!
[Shimizu breathing heavily]
[Enno grunting]
[wrestler 1] Come on, push!
[wrestler 2] Use your legs!
- [Enno continues grunting]
- [Ensho] Push!
Push, damn it!
[Enno continues grunting]
- [wrestler 1] I said to push!
- [Enno grunts]
- [Enno whimpers]
- [wrestler 1] Come on!
- [Ensho] Come on, push, push, push!
- [wrestler 1] You're weak!
[Enno grunts]
- [wrestler 1 spits]
- [Enno groaning]
[camera shutter clicking]
[wrestler 1] Stand up, ugly gorilla.
Again!
[Enno grunting]
[Enku] You're standing too tall!
- [Ensho] Push!
- [Enku] Get lower!
[wrestler 1] I said to push, you idiot!
[Enku] Is that it?
- [wrestler 2] Let's go! Stand up, damn it!
- [Ensho] What the hell are you doing?
[wrestler 2] Hey, stand up!
- [Ensho] Get in there!
- Come on!
- [Ensho] Again!
- [wrestler 4] Let's go!
Watch your chin!
- [Enku] Your elbows are too relaxed!
- [wrestler 1] Stop fooling around!
[Enno whimpering, panting]
- [Ensho] Come on, get up.
- [camera shutter clicks]
[Enno panting]
I said, "Get up."
[Enno breathing heavily]
Hey, do you get it?
Street fighting and judo skills
are useless
here inside of the dohyo.
[Enno continues breathing heavily]
You don't even have any idea
how to push, you little shit.
Continue.
[Enno grunting]
[Enno continues breathing heavily]
- Hey, stand up, you ugly gorilla.
- [Enno groans]
[Enno growling]
Oh my God!
[wrestler 2] That hurts!
- [wrestler 2 grunting]
- [Enno groaning]
[man 2 chuckles]
- [camera shutter clicking]
- Hey! Hey, Kunishima!
Woman, what the hell
do you think you're doing?
Girls aren't allowed in here!
Huh?
Who do you think
you're calling a girl, stupid?
I'm I'm so sorry.
She She doesn't understand yet.
This is not okay.
You need to properly educate
the idiot right away.
- Understood.
- Do not call me an idiot!
Hey, come with me!
- Ow, that hurts! Okay, okay!
- [man 2] Let's go. Hurry, hurry.
I'll make her understand.
Please excuse us. I'm very sorry.
- Come on, let's go!
- [Kunishima] Hey!
- That hurts!
- [man 2] Quit being such an idiot!
[Kunishima] I get it,
so stop being so angry!
[wrestlers breathing deeply]
[Enno panting, groaning]
[slaps]
[Enno continues panting]
[man 2 groans]
[man 2 sighs]
Know your place, all right?
They're the ones
letting us cover this story.
Don't you know women
are not allowed in the ring?
Then I should just allow myself
to be verbally abused like that?
He was disrespecting women.
Listen, the dohyo is a sanctuary
for sumo wrestlers.
The very fact that women aren't allowed
in there is insane in the first place.
[man 2] Ah, it may seem weird.
[man 2 sighs]
But that insane way of thinking
is part of an entirely different world.
They sacrifice their lives
to reach the top as Yokozuna.
In sumo's 1,500-year history,
only 72 have achieved that goal.
It's a different world
built on a different way of thinking.
That's the world of sumo.
[man 2 sighs]
[birds chirping]
Kunishima, you're not so young anymore.
- That's an ageist statement.
- Huh? [sighs]
[gentle music playing]
You were sent to us because you caused
problems for the news department.
What does that have to do with this?
[man 2] Everything.
You went too far,
and you ended up here as a result.
No matter where you go,
there are rules you cannot break.
You need to learn that.
My job is to always get to the truth.
I won't compromise.
[man 2 sighs]
Wait!
RESTRICTED AREA
NATIONAL ARENA
[man 1] He's undoubtedly strong,
and his record is exceptional.
In the past few tournaments,
he has 12 and 13 wins,
along with a perfect record.
Overall, he has 40 wins
over three tournaments.
There's no doubt
of his great achievements.
Ryuki achieved a perfect record
as Sekiwake with his last tournament.
[exhales]
[man 1] I'd like to hold
a provisional board meeting
to discuss his promotion to Ozeki.
[wrestlers panting]
[wrestlers grunt]
Understood.
Well, that was much sooner
than I expected.
[chuckles] Certainly is.
Well, what about Shizuuchi? Hmm?
I've heard strange rumors.
Is everything all right?
Yes, I spoke with the stable master
of Koku Stable.
[man 2] Hmm.
They're nothing more than just rumors.
No need to worry.
Good grief, the sumo world
is nothing but constant trouble.
RYUKI LIKELY FOR YOKOZUNA
"I'M AIMING HIGHER."
[both groan softly]
[both exhale]
[Shimizu exhales]
- [Kunishima] Excuse me.
- [Enno spits]
[Enno] What?
- Are you all right?
- [Enno spits]
I was truly shocked.
I can't believe such reckless training
exists in this day and age.
It's nothing but bullying.
It's pure violence.
There's nothing normal about it.
[Enno exhales]
If that ever happens again,
could you contact me?
The whole world needs to know
all about sumo's dark side.
How absurd it is
[Enno] You're so desperate.
Huh?
[Enno sighs]
It's all about you.
So if I talk, are you gonna give me
some money or something?
[Kunishima chuckles]
Uh, I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
You've got no money and no tits.
I'm not interested.
[Enno sighs]
[Kunishima sighs]
Huh?
What the heck?
[sighs] Seriously?
Sorry, sir.
If possible, could we ask you
about one other thing?
[man 1] What is it?
There's more to talk about?
[man 2] It's about the sumo wrestler
who won the Jonokuchi division
at the most recent tournament, sir.
[referee] Hakkeyoi! Nokotta! Nokotta!
Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta! Nokotta!
[Enno yells]
[man 2] Uh, people are in an uproar
over his rude manners.
[Enno continues yelling]
[man 3] Even if it is
at the Jonokuchi division,
we can't overlook such behavior.
It also sets a bad example to others.
He must be punished for his actions.
Really? Punished how?
A dismissal wouldn't be excessive here.
[man 1 chuckles]
Oh, he's just a chick
among the lowest rank.
Just give him a strict warning this time.
But But, sir, in terms of compliance
Inushima, aren't you a bit too harsh
on the Ensho Stable?
To Ensho himself rather than his stable.
Sir Sir, it's really not like that.
The reason why you couldn't
become Yokozuna is not Ensho's fault.
You just lacked the skill.
I understand how you feel,
but you're making this personal.
No, it's not personal. It's about
Inushima!
[exhales] We're done talking here.
[tense music playing]
Sir.
[man 1] Oh good.
Can we sit here?
[Kunishima] Of course.
[man 1 exhales]
[man 1 exhales]
- Thank you for this meal.
- Thank you for this meal.
[man 1 exhales]
Are you still covering the Ensho Stable?
[man 1] Ah, yeah.
I'd like to finish it before I retire.
[man 2] It certainly was
a famous stable back in the day.
They produced quite a few Yokozuna.
Remember the rivalry
with the Ryukoku Stable?
Mmm. If you're gonna cover a real story,
it needs to be that stable.
Imagine a stable
that was about to go bankrupt
then made a giant comeback.
That'll be a better story
to cover for me. [chuckles]
Is that possible?
Is there a sumo wrestler
who could turn things around?
[man 1] Yes, there is. No doubt.
- Right?
- [Kunishima] Hmm?
The ugly gorilla
Oh, him?
What can he do?
- Excuse me.
- [man 1] Uh-huh.
Hey, Kunishima! [chuckles]
How's the sumo thing?
It's better for you than politics, no?
Seeing as how you like to fight.
So scary.
What harassment is this?
Moral? Power? [chuckles]
What type?
You're harassing my nose
because you stink.
Listen up.
My salary was cut because of you!
You're a nuisance.
So just stick with the sumo or quit.
Got it?
I'll be back. I promise.
And have another affair? [chuckles]
[clattering]
[Kunishima sighs]
[man 1 sighs]
[Shimizu sighs]
[Enku gulping]
[Enku panting]
[exhales] Okay.
[Enku grunting]
- [camera shutter clicking]
- [chips crunching]
[phone chimes]
[blade retracts]
[squelches]
I need sex.
[whimsical music playing]
[man 1] Oh, come on. You're one to talk.
I mean, you could get anyone you wanted.
- [chuckles] I guess so.
- That's right.
How many girls have you been with?
Uh maybe about 100.
- Seriously? Incredible.
- [man 2 laughs]
- But I still want more. [chuckles]
- [man 1] Really? What are you gonna do?
Oh.
Hey, lift your shirt.
Sir.
[man 2 clears throat] Hmm.
[whimsical music continues]
[man 2] Hmm.
Hmm.
They're so soft.
- Wow, so skilled!
- They're so soft! [chuckles]
Hey, make some noise for me, huh?
Yes, sir.
[moaning]
- [chuckles] Hey, look!
- [camera shutter clicks]
[Enno gulping]
[sucks teeth, exhales]
[sighs]
[groans]
[grunts]
[sucks teeth]
Fuck.
[footsteps approaching]
[sighs]
[Shimizu] Oh.
[Enno exhales]
[Shimizu groaning]
What?
Nothing. [exhales]
[Shimizu exhales]
[Enno sighs]
Doing shiko
would help you push.
Huh?
Just practicing shiko properly
would get you to the Sekitori rank.
[Enno exhales]
Shiko is absolutely pointless, you idiot.
I'll do it the way that I want.
[Enno exhales]
You're just running away from it now.
From sumo.
Who are you to talk, idiot?
[Enno groans]
Hey, don't run away.
You're strong.
[gentle music playing]
Kiyoshi
Don't think of your mother
as a bad person.
It's my fault that she became
the way that she is.
[knocks on door]
Hey, it's been a while.
[Enno sighs]
[grill sizzling]
Did you gain some weight?
Stop!
I heard you quit judo. What a shame.
You could've easily made it
to the Olympics, you know.
I was shocked
the first time I saw your match.
Hey, you know he's got strong legs?
Really?
I don't do sumo.
I don't want to show my ass like that.
Oze-kun, you like money?
Sumo really
pays well, you know.
[chuckles]
Answer this quiz question. [clears throat]
A Yokozuna makes how much a year?
The answer to this is a lot.
Hell, a Sekitori makes
one million yen a month.
The dohyo has all of this.
Status, money, honor
Women
It's a sanctuary of lucky men.
Your dad is struggling, right?
Make money in the dohyo
and make it easier for him.

Asashoryu has his chest up!
He grabs the left front.
He's in a great position now.
- [Sanae] Go for it! Come on!
- He's full of vigor and moves right.
- Hakuho is way to the right
- [Sanae] Yes!
and in a bit of a tough position.
Asashoryu presses his head
and pulls the left side
- [Sanae] All right!
- [father] Go!
[announcer] Hakuho is struggling.
Asashoryu is pushing forward

Huh?
What is this?
You said I could make 1,000,000 yen!
You think you can cheat me, huh?
Only if you're a Sekitori, that is.
I explained that to you, right?
Petty swindler! [grunts]
- Hey!
- [Takahashi] Hey!
[Enno] Give me my money!
- You said one million yen, damn you!
- What are you doing?
- Wait, dammit!
- [men grunting]
You said one million, dammit!
- [Takahashi] Hey, you bastard!
- [men continue grunting]
[Ensho] You want more money?
You better get promoted soon.
Well, good luck.
Why you! [yells]
[Takahashi] Hey, idiot!
- [Enga] Hey!
- [Enno continues grunting]
- Stop Stop that.
- [men continue grunting]
[Enno straining, grunting]
[Takahashi exhales]
[Takahashi exhales, grunts]
- [Takahashi] Dumbass.

[Enno exhales]
[Enno spits]
Pig.
[Enno grunts]
[Enno breathing heavily]
[Enga] Just get lost.
[Takahashi spits] Moron.
[Takahashi sucks teeth] Hey
Sorry.
INJURED KNEE CAUSES DEFEA
DEMOTED TO JURYO
[phone ringing]
- What's this?
- [man sighs] I need your help.
[Kunishima] Help with what?
[man] I want you to do a story on Enya.
Enya easily made it to Komusubi.
- He nearly made it to Sekiwake.
- [Enya exhales]
But he got injured
and has been missing tournaments.
He was ranked last.
A normal person would've retired.
But he never gave up.
[Enya exhales]
In the upcoming tournament,
he'll make it back to Sekitori.
Age-wise, this is his last chance,
but he can do it.
So? What do you think about that?
- It'll make a great article, right?
- No, thanks.
Huh?
This is your own pet project, right?
You can't push it on me.
[man sighs]
[inhales] You want to go back, don't you?
To the political news department.
Then you've got to write
something incredible.
Nothing will change
if you just keep being sulky.
Write a great article, and that'll lead
to your next step, won't it?
Ah, so I get it now.
Ah.
You talk all big, but when you're writing,
you simply lack confidence
in your abilities, yeah? [chuckles]
[Kunishima] I'll do it.
I'll write it.
So, then that's that.
Please.
You're welcome.

GOAL 8 MILLION YEN
[Enga snoring]
[Enno groans]
[Enga continues snoring]
[Shimizu chuckles]
[Enno] Stop following me, you nobody.
[Enno sucks teeth]
[Enno sucks teeth, sighs]
Go back, runt!
Stop following!
[Enno exhales]
[Shimizu panting]
[Enno grunts]
I I've always loved sumo, you see.
I just I just really,
really love it, you know?
Just wasn't confident enough.
But I decided to try.
And I knew right away
[water whooshing]
this place wasn't for me.
[Shimizu inhales]
But you
You're someone
who can belong there for real.
Why do you care?
[Shimizu exhales]
I mean
I was never going to really run.
But [inhales shakily]
when I saw that you
were really leaving for good,
that is
when I truly realized.
Okay. Yeah, that's right.
The reason why I'm here is clear now.
I'm here to stop you, all right?
Such a child.
That doesn't matter anymore.
[Enno laughing]
Stupid!
So funny! [continues laughing]
[Shimizu breathing shakily]
[Enno continues laughing]
Stop laughing!
[grunting] Come back!
[exhales] Come back!
Come on! [grunts]
[Shimizu breathing heavily]
Come back, okay?
[grunts]
Come back! [panting]
Come back, okay?
Please come back!
[Shimizu grunts, breathing heavily]
Come back. Please!
You need to come back to do sumo!
You were born to be in the dohyo!
[gentle music playing]
[Shimizu continues breathing heavily]
I want to see you do sumo,
even if it's from afar!
[Shimizu continues breathing heavily]
Those legs
aren't meant for running away.
They were made to be inside the dohyo!
I should be the one running.
Come back.
You better come back!
Come back! It's a promise, okay?
[Enno exhales]
[exhales]
[gentle music continues]
[birds squawking]
[Enga] Ugh! Will it hurt? Will it?
- Uh, I'm gonna pull it out just a bit.
- [Enga] Do Do it slowly.
Uh, here we go.
- [Enga groaning]
- It's coming out. It's coming out.
I'm sorry. Sorry! Sorry!
I'm gonna kill that bastard! [grunts]
[Ishihara] I I'm gonna pull out
your butt hairs too.
- Hurry! Quickly!
- Yes, sir. It's coming out.
- [Enga whimpering]
- Here we go, okay?
Ready? Go!
- [glue rips]
- [Enga yells]
Ow! That bastard! [groans]
[Ishihara sniffs]
[Enga] I'm gonna kill him!
[Takahashi] Shimizu!
- [Engaku] Oze, you here?
- [Ishihara] Thanks.
[Takahashi] Where are you? Answer me!
SUPERGLUE
Hello?
They're not here.
[Engaku] Not here either. [sighs]
[Takahashi] They ran away.
[Enya exhales]
Shimizu and Oze ran away.
I see.

[breathing heavily]
I'm doing shiko.
