Hey, can you hear me? Hey!
Hurry up! We need to hurry up,
goddamn it! Please!
Hey, Oze, can you hear me? Say something!
Shizuuchi!
Go get a stretcher! Now!
Shizuuchi wins by tsuki-taoshi.
SANCTUARY
The defeated Enno is still unconscious.
He has shed an incredible amount of blood.
We can only hope
the injury isn't life-threatening.
Meanwhile,
the victor, Shizuuchi,
has won 30 straight bouts since his debut.
He needs only one more win
to equal Ryuki's record.
Oze! Hey!
Do you understand
what's going on? Huh?
You okay? Do you understand?
Can you hear me?
- You don't mind if I tell everything?
- Where's the stretcher! Hurry!
- Oze, are you all right?
- Let's get him out of here.
- Almost there.
- Excuse us! Coming through!
Make room!
- Make room!
- Out of the way!
Stretcher coming through!
Please make way!
- Slowly! Slowly!
- We'll be in the ambulance soon.
All right.
- We're almost there.
- Up we go.
You may ride with us if you like.
Yeah. That's right.
They're operating on him now.
Oh my Is that so?
And you'll be paying for all
his hospital bills, won't you, Oyakata?
Of course we will.
You don't by any chance have that that
Insurance.
Yeah, insurance or something?
Here.
You know, the kind where
if you're injured at work
Where you get
Worker's comp.
Right, worker's comp.
If there's a chance of receiving benefits,
please let me know.
You should remember, he's still underage,
so, you know, as a parent,
I have to sort out all
of these things. Yeah?
- So what?
- There might be some money coming in.
Oh, good news.
It's not yours, little boy!
- You don't have to say it like that. Hmm?
- Mmm.
- Look, I Jeez, you have a one-track mind.
- Come on. Hmm?
Hey, Kiyoshi got banged up in the ring.
You ought to pray he gets better quickly.
- Stop it already.
- Come on.
Well, not there.
- Okay, I like it here.
- Come on.
- Come on.
- Stop.
You know you like it.
Stop.
Those crude shiko will get you nowhere,
no matter how many you do.
I'm so sorry, sir.
Who are you apologizing to?
Why do you cling to the self?
You'll never be able
to accomplish anything
if you're not devoted
to sumo's true ideals.
Wha What is it
that you think I lack, sir?
If you have to ask me,
you will never attain it.
- Nice. Very nice. Very nice.
- Ah! Come on. Let me have some, please.
- You're so cute when you open wide.
- You want me to open wide?
Ah!
- Oh man, I can't do it to you!
- Hey, you're so mean to me!
I just like to see that beautiful face.
That's all I want.
Oh, one second.
Yes?
Sorry to bother you. This is Umayama.
I'm in the middle of something right now.
Make it quick.
I just got a call
from Koku Stable.
Shizuuchi is withdrawing
from the tournament.
Hmm. But why?
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you. Have a nice day.
Oh.
Hi.
Are you feeling better today?
Yeah.
And so
Ah.
- Hello.
- Huh?
Who's she?
A reporter. She covers sumo.
Kunishima. Nice to meet you.
So nice.
Hmm?
Okay. These are for you.
Thank you so very much.
But he already has some.
Yeah?
Oh, fine.
Since you went through all the trouble
What now?
Do reporters always make personal visits
to injured sumo wrestlers?
It must be hard on your wallet,
paying for all those flowers.
Okay.
Forgive me, but how do you know him?
I'm his girlfriend.
Huh?
- I am, right?
- He seems rather surprised.
I'm his girlfriend. Okay?
Are you into him?
What's it to you?
That's quite a leap.
To think that men and women
can only be interested in that.
Isn't that awfully myopic?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Do you know what myopic means?
Huh? What are you suggesting?
Well, you don't seem to know
what that T-shirt means either.
What?
I don't know what it is
you do for a living,
but it wouldn't hurt
to educate yourself a little.
Goodbye now.
Who the hell does she think she is?
Why do I have to take that from her?
Dammit.
Why would she say that to me?
Don't see her again.
I don't want you to see her.
Don't see her again!
Don't see her
RYUKOKU STABLE
Ah, good evening.
Uh
Uh, sorry to bug you.
Hmm.
My press pass.
What can I do for you?
You must be so happy
with Shizuuchi withdrawing from the ring.
Your record is safe.
- Watch your mouth, buddy!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa! For real?
It was you, wasn't it?
What are you talking about?
Well, I got an email
from an anonymous source.
It told me to rig Shizuuchi's match.
You'd think it was a prank, right?
But the next day,
there was money in my account.
So, I decided to give it a try,
but it didn't work.
Then
I started wondering who might've hired me
to do something like that.
You know,
when you make a living as a reporter,
you're curious.
Why would I do something like that?
Uh, the first reason that comes to mind
is that you didn't want him
to easily beat your wrestling record, huh?
It's a bit cliché, but
Those records are nothing but numbers.
They mean nothing to me.
Classy!
Hmm.
Well, then, I guess I have the wrong man.
Aren't you going to criticize me?
For literally attempting
to fix a sumo bout?
That was a job
you were supposed to do, wasn't it?
Plus, it's up to the wrestler
whether they play along with your game.
Shizuuchi turned you down, right?
There's nothing more to be said.
So I see.
SHIZUUCHI WITHDRAWS
WINNING STREAK STOPS AT 30
SHIZUUCHI FORFEITS
SHIZUUCHI'S SHOCKING FORFEI
ON THE EVE OF TYING RYUKI'S RECORD
Yeah, I'm coming in an hour.
FORMER KOMUSUBI ENYA RETIRES
It's not ready. Yes.
RAUSU, HOKKAIDO
KAZUMA
Fuck this!
Dammit! It's because of you two!
Shit!
Why am I the only one
who has to work so hard all the time?
Why? Get over here!
You better come to Mama!
I can't believe it!
Why am I the only one here
who has to suffer like this, huh?
It's because I had to deal
with the both of you!
Why?
KAZUMA
KUNIHIKO 2011
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
- Ah!
- Oh!
- Don't move around!
- And where's my "thank you"?
- Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, wow.
Huh? Hey, you're alive!
You're tougher than we thought.
His eyes look dead!
- Time for seconds.
- Watch out!
Here we go. Ah! Come on, open wide!
Welcome home, Kunihiko.
How?
How did I lose?
You don't remember?
Shizuuchi with the harite.
Thunderous slaps.
Oh my Truly powerful harite.
Shizuuchi is attacking relentlessly.
There is no end in sight.
Shizuuchi is aiming for the face.
Enno is bleeding.
- He is covered in his own blood.
- Enough.
Shizuuchi keeps going.
He shows no mercy to his opponent.
Hmm. "A blackmail request
sent to one of our reporters"
"Could the source be
Yokozuna candidate Ryuki"
This article You still
haven't determined the source, right?
A JOB REQUES
DEAR RYUJI YASUI
This is real.
All that's left is
to stir things up, right?
Yeah,
but you're saying Ryukoku Oyakata.
When he was a pro, he was serious.
Famous for not giving out wins.
Why would someone like him
resort to blackmail?
That's why if it's true,
it'll make a bigger scoop, right?
Well Well,
when you put it that way
Come on now.
You know how many damning exposés
I've written, right?
Who do you think helped you get this job
at this third-rate gossip rag?
You don't have to call it third-rate.
When that baseball player was doping,
it started as a rumor.
But when I stuck to the story,
it turned out to be true.
Yeah, well
Listen.
Ryuki is the central character
of this narrative, right?
Imagine if the story takes off.
CEO might even be
in your reach.
I
don't, uh
No.
Hey, wait a second. Where are you
Is "I don't know"
all you know how to say? Huh?
If you won't make up your mind,
I'll take it somewhere else.
Whoa, hold on there! Wait!
If you don't want me
to go somewhere else, decide now.
No more "I don't know."
Hey.
Shut up!
Hey, now push.
I'll bet he retires.
- Come on, push!
- Well
- Too bad.
- Come on, more!
Push!
Good.
Okay. Come on, push!
Like that!
Come on!
Good!
Wake up.
Wake up!
Come on, wake up.
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Come on, wake up.
Get up!
- Five is up next.
- Got it.
- Okay, next!
- Thank you.
All right.
Okay. Next!
Let's go!
Excuse me, sir.
Okay!
- Here.
- All right. Okay. Next!
- He's good.
- Yes.
Really good.
- I know. He's amazing.
- Come on!
Okay.
- Great. Truly impressive.
- Come on!
Great.
- Push! Push!
- Okay! Okay!
- Just do it! Let's go!
- What're you doing, you shit?
What the hell was that right there?
- Kill him!
- Don't drag on!
- Kill him!
- Push already!
I don't feed you for nothing, dumbass!
Get up! Come on!
- Now!
- No time to be messing around!
Yeah, hello?
Good afternoon, Umayama.
Ah, good afternoon.
I want you to bring your
wrestlers for keiko at Ensho's Stable.
Keiko with them?
- Yes.
- What are you doing?
- You know what that means, right?
- Come on!
Kick him while he's down.
Right, sir?
Yeah?
Enno? It's me, Murata.
Come over for drinks tonight.
We'll celebrate your recovery.
I'm still
That's an order
from your patron, yo!
- Whoo!
- I'm still not
- Cheers!
- Cheers, ladies! Yeah!
- Drink up, everybody!
- Thank you!
- Take me out for a drink.
- I'll take all of you.
- Really?
- Let's go, let's go!
- Next time, why don't we all go on a trip?
- I want to go!
- Let's go for a trip overseas.
- I want to go.
- Let's bring him too.
- Really? He's acting gloomy.
Huh?
- Just know I'm drunk.
- Yes!
Drink up, everybody. Let's have fun.
You okay? Your ear
Sumo is fucked up.
Yeah.
What's wrong with you, man?
Come on, you need to have a good time.
I know.
Show them some sumo stuff.
Not today.
Hey, bro, hold on.
I just opened a bottle
of vintage champagne for you, Enno.
This cost 1.2 million yen.
Don't want it.
Now drink it.
You have to obey
an order from your patron. Right?
So drink it.
Drink up. Come on.
Drink it!
Hey!
I said, "Drink it!"
What was that about?
I fucking own you.
Hey, what do you think you're doing, dude?
- Oh my God!
- Hey, stop it!
Stop!
Hey!
Huh?
Wait, did he really
He got beat up
Oh my God.
Ew!
What a baby.
Hold on, hold on.
Listen for a second.
I'm gonna do a magic trick.
- What?
- No way.
I can make this cocktail
disappear in a flash.
- Oh!
- Oh!
Ah, you just wanted to drink!
You know that!
That shit's weak. Give me a stronger one!
You're gonna keep drinking?
You're in an awfully good mood tonight.
I'm about to start a fun new project. Huh?
Who's been sleeping around this time?
This isn't some trashy gossip.
It's gonna shake Japan up.
- Huh! What?
- Tell us!
Well, women like you with tits for brains
probably aren't interested, huh?
Hold on a second there, buddy.
You know this isn't that kind of place!
Oh. Hold on. Give me a second.
Huh?
Are you crazy?
What do you mean
you're killing the story? Huh?
Huh?
Didn't they come talk to you?
Talk to me?
Mr. Yasui?
Am I correct?
May we have a moment of your time?
Good evening.
Have a seat.
It's completely fine. Please.
Who are you?
My name is Ito.
Hmm.
WEEKLY TABLOID REAL!
RYUKI AT CENTER OF CONSPIRACY
RYUKOKU
It was me.
I'm the one who hired you.
I happen to be a patron
for the Ryukoku Stable.
As for why I hired you,
you can probably imagine the rest.
And why why are you telling me this?
Because you seem to be a capable reporter.
And sooner or later
Right?
So why did you approach me?
Well, in any case,
now you know exactly who I am.
But if your mind is still set on it,
feel free to write about me.
I understand that you are always in need
of extra money, after all.
What does that mean?
Ah, just one more thing.
Here.
Take this. For you.
I look forward
to reading your articles.
Hey!
- Who is it?
- Let me in!
What are you doing here?
We had an agreement
that you weren't gonna come here.
Yoshika!
Hey!
Where's Yoshika?
- What do you mean "where"?
- Yoshika!
Keep your voice down!
Daddy, is something wrong?
What is your problem?
- Has anyone come around?
- Hey!
Get a hold of yourself!
Huh?
How did you know?
Yoshika just started
to like these jellies.

Thanks for having us today.
Morning.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Hey, Enno!
He's not back to full strength yet.
Is that so?
Hey!
He says the little baby's
not feeling well today.
Cut him some slack.
Hey, if you can't do sumo,
go jerk off in your room.
Oh, looks like he liked that, huh?
What will it be?
Oh, are you serious?
He's completely spooked.
- Pathetic.
- Don't be a little girl.
Come on! It was just a slap.
What are you so afraid of?
Oh my God.
- Gonna try some more? What a joke.
- Crawl back where you came from!
- Hey, one more time?
- That's just funny.
Quit taking so long. Let's go!
Oh, he's being serious now.
Huh? I guess we gotta take him seriously.
- It's okay. Here we go.
- Hurry up.
Huh?
Put your hand down first. Come on!
- Does he even have it in him?
- Piece of shit!
Hurry the fuck up!
That's just
a crybaby waiting to happen.
Go ahead. Come on.
Don't be such a wuss!
Get up already!
Aw, that was too easy!
- Come on!
- Now!
- Now!
- Are you dumb? Huh, idiot?
What the hell?
Well
Give me a break, will you?
Hey, kid, you suck!
Go back to your nap.
Go home!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Huh?
What? He's actually crying!
Hey, give me a break!
Okay, that's enough.
Pick somebody else.
- You ain't shit!
- Don't get up!
Give me a break!
- Pathetic!
- Leave sumo, you wuss.
Somebody get
this crybaby out of here!
Go cry somewhere else!
- Next!
- That's all?
- Come on, Engaku.
- Get out so we can do keiko.
Shut up! Go outside if you want to cry!
Real wrestlers have keiko to do.
Get in position, loser!
Put the other hand down!
What are you, a stray dog?
- Does it hurt?
- Hold up! That's way out of line!
You got a problem or something?
Well, it was an accident, all right?
- Good contact!
- Good contact!
- Good contact!
- Now throw him! Take him down!
- Come on!
- Nice!
That right there!
All right, let's go!
Are you really in
the Makushita division?
Nice contact!
- Go back, go back!
- Stay in!
Go back!
Flip him! Now finish him off!
Throw him! Just like that!
What the hell are you doing?
- You'll never make Juryo.
- What a sorry sight.
Why don't you fight back, huh?
Come on already!
Meditate.
That's all.
Thank you!
- Nice work.
- Let's go.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Nice work.
Nice work.
Well, that was some effective keiko.
Thank you all very much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
- Hey.
- Yeah?
Did he get his balls crushed,
or what?
- Thanks for your time.
- Thanks for your time.
- See ya!
- Bye.
Thanks for your time.
Bunch of dopes.
They can hardly move.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Just retire and go back to sucking
on your mom's titties.
What about today? Let's go today!
- Oh!
- Can I come too?
- No one invited you, moron.
- Why can't I?
- Hey, you bastard!
- Hey, wait! Stop!
- Hey!
- Hold him back!
You piece of shit!
I'll I'll fuck you up!
Calm down!
- Let me go! Let me go!
- Get him!
Get him!
Oh my This is a real mess.
- Huh?
- Let me go!
- Get back!
- Come on! Stop!
- Stop!
- Hey!
- Calm down!
- Hey! Hey!
Hold him back!
Hey!
Well, you should have
nothing more to worry about.
Thank you for everything you do.
We appreciate it.
I'm so sorry you had to clean up
this entire mess
just because I asked you to.
It's fine.
No matter how old,
a parent still cares for their child.
Right?
Yes.
I, at least,
want to make sure
that I'm always on his side.
I understand.
I hope we all can continue
to rely on your support.
Now then,
what are your plans for the evening?
I can stay out late if you want.
I want to show you my gratitude.
Yes, sir. You called for me?
Please bring an elegant wine
for this elegant lady.
Yes, sir.
Let us toast.
Of course.
Would you like some grilled steak?
I would love some.
Rare?
Of course.
Rare, please.
Right away, sir.
