SANCTUARY
Good grief.
Such a terrible mess.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
An assault 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?
[Inushima sighs]
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?
[Tokitsu] Seriously? I understand.
I'll confirm what happened
with the Ensho Stable. [inhales]
- What's the matter?
- [Tokitsu sighs]
Enno has committed assault
and is being dismissed.
[Tokitsu sighs]
Seriously?
[somber music playing]
- [traditional music playing]
- [singing in Japanese]
[in English] 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.
[Sanae on phone] Of course!
He was a healthy baby when I gave birth.
[Ensho] Right.
So, Oyakata,
I want to ask something important.
You'll pay more when he hits Juryo, right?
[Ensho] Yes.
[Sanae] How much longer before
my boy reaches that division?
[Ensho] Well, about that
Yeah? What's wrong?
He's being dismissed.
[woman sighs]
All right. [chuckles]
Good!
And here you are.
You're in quite the good mood.
[woman chuckles]
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. [chuckles]
[Ryuki chuckles]
Here's your dinner, Ryuki.
- Thank you. [chuckles]
- Sure.
All right, let's eat.
- Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food.
[Ryuki exhales]
[woman exhales]
I heard you proposed a fixed game.
[woman chuckles]
Why are you upset all of a sudden?
What's wrong?
[Ryukoku] Ito told me.
Everything.
You used a journalist to get to Shizuuchi.
[cutlery scraping]
So that his record wouldn't be blemished.
I heard you also tried to seduce Mr. Ito
- You heard wrong!
- [Ryukoku] Ito told me everything.
Mr. Ito said you are lowering
the status of the Ryukoku stable.
[inhales] I want you
to leave now.
[cutlery continues scraping]
[breathing shakily]
Is it all all true?
[cutlery continues scraping]
[woman breathes shakily]
I'm sorry. [inhales shakily]
What? Wait!
She's a foolish and pathetic woman.
Truly awful.
I'll talk to my father about this.
[Ensho] No.
It won't be enough this time.
[Ensho inhales]
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.
[woman sighs]
[Ryuki breathing heavily]
Do not leave.
[woman exhales]
I deeply apologize for my actions.
What?
I'm sorry I gave birth to you.
And the stable also.
[somber music playing]
[breathes shakily]
I'm ready to leave.
[siren wailing in distance]
[Ryuki sobbing]
[sighs]
[inhales]
Oh, it's been a while.
[chuckles] Sure you've been doing well?
[chuckles] 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.
[wrestlers snoring]
[phone ringing]
[Enno] Hello?
[on phone] It's Murata.
I'm sorry about that day.
Uh, I want to apologize.
Can we meet up?
[upbeat music playing faintly]
[Murata chuckles]
[Nanami exhales]
[dramatic music playing]
[Murata] Yeah!
Uh-oh!
[Murata laughing]
INUSHIMA STABLE
[Kunishima panting] 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.
- [Inushima] What?
- Please, I beg you!
Who the heck do you think you are?
- Why do you even care about him?
- [Kunishima] Please, I beg you!
Go home, or I'll have you banned!
[Kunishima breathing heavily]
[Kunishima exhales]
What are you doing?
[Kunishima] I want
to see more of Enno's sumo.
[gentle music playing]
Watching his sumo
brings me great joy.
Ridiculous.
I beg you! Wait! Listen to me!
[Inushima grunting]
What the hell's wrong with you?
[Kunishima] Wait!
- I beg you! Please listen to me!
- Let go! Good grief.
- Someone get her off me!
- I won't let go!
[Inushima] Let go of me!
- Let go!
- [grunting] Ouch! Please wait!
[Kunishima straining] Please!
Let go, you little [grunting]
[Kunishima grunts]
- Please! [breathing heavily]
- [Inushima] You little [grunting]
[both grunting]
Please! [panting]
- [Inushima] Hey! Hey!
- [Kunishima] Wait! [grunts]
[both breathing heavily]
Please!
[Kunishima grunting]
Let go!
[both grunting]
- [Kunishima] Wait! Please listen!
- Hey, let go!
- [Kunishima] Just please! [grunts]
- [Inushima] You little
[Kunishima] Please wait!
- [Inushima grunting]
- [Kunishima groaning]
- [Kunishima whimpering]
- [Inushima panting]
Oyakata, doesn't he excite you?
As a former sumo wrestler?
[somber music playing]
[Inushima sighs]
[Kunishima sobbing]
[whimpers]
- [music halts]
- [Kunishima groans]
[doorbell jingles]
The decision was made.
And it's final!
[Kunishima breathing heavily]
[Kunishima sniffles]
[sighs]
[groans]
[exhales, continues breathing heavily]
[inhales deeply, exhales]
[somber music playing]

[Ishihara continues breathing heavily]
[Engaku] Come on!
[Takahashi breathing heavily]
[Shimizu] Enno.
Uh What are you doing?

[Kunishima] Oyakata,
doesn't he excite you? [panting]
As a former sumo wrestler?
CHAMPION, SEPTEMBER 2005
OZEKI KENGA YOHEI-ZEKI
[Inushima] What did
you want to talk about?
[Ryukoku] 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
[inhales]
it's complicated, actually.
A tad bit private.
You want me to withdraw
Enno's punishment over a private matter?
[Ryukoku chuckles]
[Ryukoku inhales]
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
[Inushima groans]
[Inushima breathing heavily]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
[phone ringing]
- [woman] I'm coming.
- [Takahashi] Thank you. Thanks, thanks.
Uh, hello?
[loud thud]
- [Ishihara] Thank you.

[Ensho] Hmm?
That was the association
who just called us.
Oh.
[Sanae groans]
Oh

Good morning.
[Tokitsu] W Wait, really?
That's great news!
Ah!
They withdrew Enno's dismissal.
[chuckles]
Oh, yes!
Oh yes!
Yes, that's right!
Oh, not at all.
I'm just so happy to hear that.
Yes. [sighs]
- [Tokitsu chuckles]
- [Kunishima sobbing]
[gentle music playing]
Are you crying?
[Kunishima] No, I'm not. [sniffles]
[Tokitsu] No? [sighs]
- You are, aren't you?
- [Kunishima continues sobbing]
[Kunishima] That's sexual harassment.
Even this?
You can't just run away! [grunts]
Fuck you!
[Shimizu breathing heavily]
[Sanae] Oh my
Aren't you the energetic one?
[inhales] 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!
[Sanae breathes deeply]
[grunts] You
[Sanae inhales]

[Sana breathes deeply, groans]
Huh?
GOAL 8 MILLION YEN
[Sanae breathes deeply]
You're saving money for your father, huh?
[gentle music playing]
[Sanae sighs]
You're saving up to get back
our sushi restaurant that went bankrupt.
Huh?
OZE SUSHI
- Stick with sumo, you fool!
- [Enno grunting]
- [both grunting]
- [Sanae] Give up!
[both continue grunting]
I'm sorry!
[both continue grunting]
[Sanae] Get up!
- Pull yourself together, dammit!
- [Enno grunts]
[Sanae grunting]
You're pathetic! Take that!
[both continue grunting]
[Sanae yells]
[Enno yells, breathing heavily]
Now that's the look I know.
[Enno continues breathing heavily]
They're so crazy.
[inhales]
What? Vapes aren't allowed here?
Since we're here in the city,
want to go to Tokyo Skytree?
- Oh, sounds great!
- [Sanae chuckles]
[man chuckles]
- [Sanae] Hey, don't be naughty.
- [man chuckles]
You're turning me on. [chuckles]
[Ensho] Ma'am
Ma'am Wait, ma'am!
Why are you here in Tokyo?
- Ma'am?

[Ryuki breathing heavily]
[chanting continues]
[Ryuki groans]
[continues breathing heavily]
[chanting continues]
[Ryuki grunting]
[chanting continues]
[Ryuki yells] Why?
[chanting continues]
[Ryuki grunting]
[chanting continues]
[Ryuki yells]
[chanting continues]
[water whooshing rapidly]
[Ryukoku sighs]
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.
[Ryukoku exhales]
Okami-san asked me
for a fixed match, and I thought
"Oh"
"Fate has come around."
- [Ryukoku exhales]
- "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.
[Ito] Yes.
[Ryukoku exhales]
The evil spirit that was haunting Ryuki
is now officially calm.
[Ryukoku sips]
- [Ito] He is no longer dependent.
- [Ryukoku exhales]
And is sure to become a great Yokozuna
who will maintain your legacy.
[Ryukoku breathes deeply]
I am so grateful!
[Ryukoku exhales]
[Enno grunts, breathing heavily]
[Shimizu] You can do this!
[Enno continues breathing heavily]
We're at a slope. A slope! Keep it up!
[Enno] One!
Two!
[wrestlers exhale]
[Enno exhales]
Three!
[dramatic music playing]
[Enno and Enku grunting]
[Enku grunts]
[both continue grunting]
- [Enku groans]
- Damn it!
[Enku] Once more!
[Enno] Damn it!
[both continue grunting]
[Enku groans]
- [Enku yells]
- [Enno grunts]
[Enno breathing heavily]
Damn it!
- [Enya] Hey.
- What? [exhales]
Start by building your form.
[Enno continues breathing heavily]
[Shimizu] What if you lowered
your initial crouch?
Your initial attack is very sharp, Enno.
I think attacking lower
will give you more power.
[announcer] He's doing well.
He has six wins and one loss.
[Enno] Who is that?
This is our Oyakata.
[commentator] Well,
during this tournament,
Enfu's sharp attack from his low crouch
has been a powerful move.
[announcer] It's great!
[referee in Japanese] It's time!
[announcer in English]
The initial crouch is crucial. Time is up.
[Shimizu chuckles, exhales]
That low crouch
- is what you should aim for.
- [referee] Nokotta!
[commentator] 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.
[dramatic music playing]
[Enno] Low.
[exhales]
[exhales] Low.
[grunts]
[exhales]
[Ensho] Hey.
Get much lower.
[Enno exhales]
[Enno grunts]
Hey, step back a little.
Hmm.
Move forward by keeping that low stance.
Okay.
[Enno grunting]
[Enno breathing heavily]
Keep your stance low and drive forward.
[Enno grunting]
[Enno grunts]
[Enno breathing heavily]
[Ensho] That's not good enough.
Shizuuchi will never
be beaten with that stance.
[Enno] Please teach me!
[Enno breathing heavily]
[tense music building]
Teach me how I can be better.
Please, I beg you!
Huh?
Really?
[tense music playing]
[birds chirping]
[man 1] The final match will now begin.

[mom] You're so quick.
You're so good at it. [chuckles]
This one's flat too.
- Go!
- [mom chuckles]
- It just drops. [chuckles]
- [mom] It dropped?
Champion crown.
[chuckles]
- Here, look. I found a really flat one.
- [chuckles] Oh wow!
Cool. Good job finding it.
Oh, hey, why don't we eat this?
Huh?
Ta-da!
[chuckles] Wow. Amazing!
[gentle music continues]
[mom] Mmm.
Hey, you know what?
I feel the happiest when I see you
doing sumo your own special way.
[chuckles]
- Hey, wasn't this such a great day?
- I had a great day, Mom.
You did great.
- Wasn't your brother cool? [chuckles]
- [Kazuma] Mmm.
So amazing.
Yeah! [laughing]
[crickets chirping]
- PAY ME BACK
- DIE
- YOU THIEF
- WORTHLESS MOTHER
DIE
WORST PAREN
I'LL GO TO THE KIDS' SCHOOL NEXT.
BE PREPARED.
[mom breathing shakily]
[posters crumbling]
[mom chuckles]
[chuckles]
Let's go.
[gentle music continues]
[mom] Kunihiko.
You will experience
sad things during your life.
And when you do
you must try to smile.
[gentle music continues]
[blood squelches]
[mom exhales]
You have to force yourself
to smile.
[sand shuffling]

- [Takahashi] Thanks.
You reacted well,
but your head was too low.
[Takahashi] Oh.
My head was low.
I have to look up.
[Enno] You have to keep going
until the end!
[Takahashi] Oh really?
- Dammit!
- [Enno] All right!
Don't let them get to you!
They're not getting to me!
[scoffs] What'd you say to me?
Yes. Even I
Even I want to be stronger!

Get down.

Maybe they won't even find that.

SANCTUARY
Good grief.
Such a terrible mess.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
An assault 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?
[Inushima sighs]
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?
[Tokitsu] Seriously? I understand.
I'll confirm what happened
with the Ensho Stable. [inhales]
- What's the matter?
- [Tokitsu sighs]
Enno has committed assault
and is being dismissed.
[Tokitsu sighs]
Seriously?
[somber music playing]
- [traditional music playing]
- [singing in Japanese]
[in English] 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.
[Sanae on phone] Of course!
He was a healthy baby when I gave birth.
[Ensho] Right.
So, Oyakata,
I want to ask something important.
You'll pay more when he hits Juryo, right?
[Ensho] Yes.
[Sanae] How much longer before
my boy reaches that division?
[Ensho] Well, about that
Yeah? What's wrong?
He's being dismissed.
[woman sighs]
All right. [chuckles]
Good!
And here you are.
You're in quite the good mood.
[woman chuckles]
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. [chuckles]
[Ryuki chuckles]
Here's your dinner, Ryuki.
- Thank you. [chuckles]
- Sure.
All right, let's eat.
- Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food.
[Ryuki exhales]
[woman exhales]
I heard you proposed a fixed game.
[woman chuckles]
Why are you upset all of a sudden?
What's wrong?
[Ryukoku] Ito told me.
Everything.
You used a journalist to get to Shizuuchi.
[cutlery scraping]
So that his record wouldn't be blemished.
I heard you also tried to seduce Mr. Ito
- You heard wrong!
- [Ryukoku] Ito told me everything.
Mr. Ito said you are lowering
the status of the Ryukoku stable.
[inhales] I want you
to leave now.
[cutlery continues scraping]
[breathing shakily]
Is it all all true?
[cutlery continues scraping]
[woman breathes shakily]
I'm sorry. [inhales shakily]
What? Wait!
She's a foolish and pathetic woman.
Truly awful.
I'll talk to my father about this.
[Ensho] No.
It won't be enough this time.
[Ensho inhales]
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.
[woman sighs]
[Ryuki breathing heavily]
Do not leave.
[woman exhales]
I deeply apologize for my actions.
What?
I'm sorry I gave birth to you.
And the stable also.
[somber music playing]
[breathes shakily]
I'm ready to leave.
[siren wailing in distance]
[Ryuki sobbing]
[sighs]
[inhales]
Oh, it's been a while.
[chuckles] Sure you've been doing well?
[chuckles] 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.
[wrestlers snoring]

[Enno] Hello?
[on phone] It's Murata.
I'm sorry about that day.

Enno's punishment.
Please withdraw it.

OZEKI KENGA YOHEI-ZEKI
[Inushima] What did
you want to talk about?
[Ryukoku] 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
[inhales]
it's complicated, actually.
A tad bit private.
You want me to withdraw
Enno's punishment over a private matter?
[Ryukoku chuckles]
[Ryukoku inhales]
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.

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.
[Ryukoku exhales]
Okami-san asked me
for a fixed match, and I thought
"Oh"
"Fate has come around."
- [Ryukoku exhales]
- "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.
[Ito] Yes.
[Ryukoku exhales]
The evil spirit that was haunting Ryuki
is now officially calm.
[Ryukoku sips]
- [Ito] He is no longer dependent.
- [Ryukoku exhales]
And is sure to become a great Yokozuna
who will maintain your legacy.
[Ryukoku breathes deeply]
I am so grateful!
[Ryukoku exhales]

[Enno breathing heavily]
Damn it!
- [Enya] Hey.
- What? [exhales]
Start by building your form.
[Enno continues breathing heavily]
[Shimizu] What if you lowered
your initial crouch?
Your initial attack is very sharp, Enno.
I think attacking lower
will give you more power.
[announcer] He's doing well.
He has six wins and one loss.
[Enno] Who is that?
This is our Oyakata.
[commentator] Well,
during this tournament,
Enfu's sharp attack from his low crouch
has been a powerful move.
[announcer] It's great!
[referee in Japanese] It's time!
[announcer in English]
The initial crouch is crucial. Time is up.
[Shimizu chuckles, exhales]
That low crouch
- is what you should aim for.
- [referee] Nokotta!
[commentator] 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.
[dramatic music playing]
[Enno] Low.
[exhales]
[exhales] Low.
[grunts]
[exhales]
[Ensho] Hey.
Get much lower.
[Enno exhales]
[Enno grunts]
Hey, step back a little.
Hmm.
Move forward by keeping that low stance.
Okay.
[Enno grunting]
[Enno breathing heavily]
Keep your stance low and drive forward.
[Enno grunting]
[Enno grunts]
[Enno breathing heavily]
[Ensho] That's not good enough.
Shizuuchi will never
be beaten with that stance.
[Enno] Please teach me!
[Enno breathing heavily]
[tense music building]
Teach me how I can be better.
Please, I beg you!
Huh?
Really?
