210. You said, "Maybe he's got it."Copy !req
211. He has a natural grace.Copy !req

345. I'm proud of you.Copy !req
346. I've never been so ashamed.Copy !req
347. Shut down the club.Copy !req
348. You call that sumo?Copy !req
349. It's an insult to sumo!Copy !req
350. Is it so important to keep the club
going that you...Copy !req
351. get down on your knees
to praise these creeps?Copy !req
352. How dare you call these slack wimps...Copy !req
353. the Kyoritsu University team!Copy !req
354. Just what have you been doing?Copy !req
355. You're the ones
who insist the club keeps going!Copy !req
356. Have you considered
how it has pained him...Copy !req
357. to beg for members?Copy !req

364. Boys today are
only interested in girls.Copy !req
365. That's all!Copy !req
366. They're not interested in sumo.Copy !req
367. At least they came today.Copy !req
368. They did their best for the club.Copy !req
369. You should be thanking them!Copy !req
370. There's a limit!Copy !req

We'll give you a win!Copy !req
388. Should have kept my mouth shut.Copy !req
389. I had my chance,
why am I back again?Copy !req
390. You know why we're so weak?Copy !req
391. No.Copy !req
392. We lost our sports scholarships.Copy !req
393. So that's why?Copy !req
394. Those guys yesterday
were on scholarships?Copy !req
395. Heard the story about Mister?Copy !req
396. The baseball player?Copy !req
397. In English class once
he read the word the...Copy !req
398. as t-he.Copy !req
399. He just spelt it out.Copy !req
400. I heard differently.Copy !req
401. He saw a guy reading.
"That's great, having the...Copy !req
402. "translation there. What's the title?"Copy !req
403. Turns out it was an
English-Japanese dictionary!Copy !req
404. Right,
good sportsmen get into university.Copy !req
405. We've nothing to be ashamed of.Copy !req
406. The TV crew are ready to shoot.Copy !req
407. I'm from Station News.Copy !req
408. Do you know where the sumo club is?Copy !req
409. Yes, but it's quite far.Copy !req
410. We finally found someone!Copy !req
411. The 96th student we asked knows
the sumo club!Copy !req
412. Where is it?Copy !req
413. Turn right up past that hall there,Copy !req
414. then go straight and it's on the left.Copy !req
415. Look! Here comes the sumo club!Copy !req
416. It is them!Copy !req
417. It's surely the sumo club.Copy !req
418. To revive the traditions
of their sumo clubCopy !req
419. four young men are determined to win.Copy !req
420. Are you confident?Copy !req
421. We must, for the university
and our honor.Copy !req
422. Did you see them on TV?Copy !req
423. You've done well.Copy !req
424. With all the publicity they're
obliged to keep going.Copy !req
425. It just may keep them for a while.Copy !req
426. How did you contact the TV people?Copy !req
427. Remember what my master's thesis is?Copy !req
428. Refresh my memory.Copy !req
429. "Information manipulation
in mass communications."Copy !req
430. Using our boys as a case study?Copy !req
431. It's discrimination.Copy !req
432. Where are our cheer girls?Copy !req
433. I saw you on TV.Copy !req
434. The answer is no.Copy !req
435. I haven't asked yet.Copy !req
436. Isn't that why you're here?Copy !req
437. Well, yes.Copy !req
438. When's the tournament?Copy !req
439. In three months.Copy !req
440. Just for three months?Copy !req
441. You'll join?Copy !req
442. Not me.Copy !req
443. I don't wanna flash my ass.Copy !req
444. There's a rugby player from Oxford;Copy !req
445. he's attending
our economics department.Copy !req
446. Try the "traditional Japanese culture"
approach.Copy !req
447. He's bound to bite.Copy !req
448. Sumo may well be your national game.Copy !req
449. But it's not a sport.Copy !req
450. It's just a show.Copy !req
451. Unnaturally fattening men up.Copy !req
452. Making a show of naked,
fat men fighting.Copy !req
453. They're not naked.Copy !req
454. They wear a mawashi sash.Copy !req
455. OK, if sumo is a sport...Copy !req
456. they can wear pants under the mawashi.Copy !req
457. But no-one does.Copy !req
458. Why wear pants?Copy !req
459. I don't want to show
my bottom to strangers,Copy !req
460. and I don't want to see
strangers' bottoms.Copy !req
461. Perhaps the mawashi is needed
for the techniques.Copy !req
462. But a naked bum is not.Copy !req
463. The top-knot, too.Copy !req
464. In sports, it's not what you wear.Copy !req
465. But that's part of
the ancient tradition...Copy !req
466. Oh, tradition. I understand.Copy !req
467. Japanese always say that.Copy !req
468. It's tradition - it can't be changed.Copy !req
469. You Japanese
never delve into the essence.Copy !req
470. I've nothing against sumo.Copy !req
471. But I will not appear naked in public.Copy !req
472. You have nudist camps in Europe.Copy !req
473. You Japanese miss the point!Copy !req
474. Nudism is not
for displaying nakedness,Copy !req
475. it's for private relaxation.Copy !req
476. Foreign toilets are always open,
I hear.Copy !req
477. In a toilet there's a need to undress.Copy !req
478. It's nothing shameful.Copy !req
479. It's a matter of necessity.Copy !req
480. High-leg pants?Copy !req
481. That's beauty, isn't it?Copy !req
482. It's a matter of taste.Copy !req
483. I have a pretty bum.Copy !req
484. We're wasting our time.Copy !req
485. One last question.Copy !req
486. Why close the curtains in the daytime?Copy !req
487. Japan is so expensive.Copy !req
488. I haven't paid my rent for six months.Copy !req
489. If the landlord knows
I'm here, he'll come for it.Copy !req
490. The sumo club has a dormitory.Copy !req
491. It's rent-free with food, too.Copy !req
492. Can I wear pants?Copy !req
493. And only two hours practice?Copy !req
494. Let's make a contract.Copy !req
495. He's insulting sumo.Copy !req
496. We need him to win.Copy !req
497. Even in pants?Copy !req
498. It's a matter of customs.Copy !req
499. It won't last long.Copy !req
500. It Will.Copy !req
501. And we're slapping
his face with money.Copy !req
502. Like caricature Japanese.Copy !req
503. We have to win.Copy !req
504. I want you all in the dormitory.Copy !req
505. He's very strong.Copy !req
506. Stronger than the others.Copy !req
507. Poor Haruo!Copy !req
508. Cheer up, Haruo!Copy !req
509. Beat the foreigner!Copy !req
510. Nasty brute!Copy !req
511. How sweet!Copy !req
512. What's all that?Copy !req
513. They saw the TV show.Copy !req
514. Haruo is something of an idol.Copy !req
515. Mass-media merchandise, is he?Copy !req
516. Both he
and Shuhei have a real following.Copy !req
517. Take a break.Copy !req
518. I think I see your strong points.Copy !req
519. You all need strengthening.Copy !req
520. How was your first time, Smiley?Copy !req
521. Power inevitably wins.Copy !req
522. It's too simple to enjoy.Copy !req
523. I'm number one.
I don't need to practice.Copy !req
524. We're not finished yet.Copy !req
525. Two hours is up.Copy !req
526. Let's follow the contract.Copy !req
527. What is that thing?Copy !req
528. Our house god.Copy !req
529. House god?Copy !req
530. An altar for offerings.Copy !req
531. But isn't this a Christian university?Copy !req
532. You Japanese never delve into
the essence of the matter.Copy !req
533. Power inevitably wins?Copy !req
534. That's not always the case in sumo,
is it?Copy !req
535. You're right. I always thought so.Copy !req
536. Do some basic movements practice.Copy !req
537. Keep at it.Copy !req
538. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
539. I want to join the club.Copy !req
540. I'll do anything.Copy !req
541. I'll cook, wash or clean.Copy !req
542. Make me a manager.Copy !req
543. I can even live in.Copy !req
544. A manager built like a champ
and a foreigner under contract.Copy !req
545. We've hit rock bottom.Copy !req
546. You always have been.Copy !req
547. What's that?Copy !req
548. She fancies Haruo.Copy !req
549. Don't say that!Copy !req
550. What are you doing?Copy !req
551. I'm going to wash them.Copy !req
552. You mustn't.
They never get washed.Copy !req
553. You're kidding!Copy !req
554. I'm serious.Copy !req
555. Which was mine?Copy !req
556. I don't know.Copy !req
557. Sorry, I didn't know.Copy !req
558. They never get washed.Copy !req
559. Not even once?Copy !req
560. How disgusting.Copy !req
561. 40 days have passed
since the sumo revival began.Copy !req
562. Including the Englishman, Smiley,Copy !req
563. there are now five in the club.Copy !req
564. Haruo, is training arduous?Copy !req
565. Yes, but I've adjusted.Copy !req
566. Now we're all totally absorbed.Copy !req
567. What's with the colored sandbags?Copy !req
568. We use them to shove against.Copy !req
569. We all have our own color,Copy !req
570. and have pledged to wear
a hole in them.Copy !req
571. Why don't you coach them?Copy !req
572. It's best to let them
train themselves.Copy !req
573. Don't you want to win the tournament?Copy !req
574. They couldn't take the training
that would demand.Copy !req
575. I'm happy just
to see them participate.Copy !req
576. You really mean that?Copy !req
577. I'm pleased you're giving
your support.Copy !req
578. But truthfully,
they haven't a chance.Copy !req
579. Not one of them
has a real passion for sumo.Copy !req
580. They can't learn with that attitude.Copy !req
581. Is it better to have such
a dismal club than none at all?Copy !req
582. If you won't get involved
why not close it down?Copy !req
583. Myself, I'd miss it.Copy !req
584. "American Cheer-girls Strip-show."Copy !req
585. You went?Copy !req
586. How long...?Copy !req
587. A While.Copy !req
588. You love Natsuko, don't you?Copy !req
589. What?Copy !req
590. Forget it.Copy !req
591. Unlike you, I'm totally beat.Copy !req
592. I'm so tired I'd like to quit sumo.Copy !req
593. What's this?Copy !req
594. We don't have an air-conditioner.Copy !req
595. Is Tanaka asleep?Copy !req
596. He's exhausted.Copy !req
597. Almost dead.Copy !req
598. And Smiley?Copy !req
599. He's studying.Copy !req
600. Foreigners are made
of different stuff.Copy !req
601. Studying contracts, eh?Copy !req
602. And Shuhei?Copy !req
603. I thought he may have been here.Copy !req
604. He's not.Copy !req
605. Maybe he's hit his limit.Copy !req
606. Limit?Copy !req
607. Sexual deprivation.Copy !req
608. Who's the lucky girl?Copy !req
609. He has many?Copy !req
610. Sure.Copy !req
611. If he breaks curfew
he'll get punished.Copy !req
612. Sounds like fun.Copy !req
613. You're a nasty boy.Copy !req
614. Do you hate sumo?Copy !req
615. Why do you care so much about sumo?Copy !req
616. He's so lonely.Copy !req
617. Who is?Copy !req
618. Mr. Anayama.Copy !req
619. Don't misunderstand:Copy !req
620. he really loves sumo.Copy !req
621. But you guys don't care at all,
so he...Copy !req
622. has no wish to instruct you.Copy !req
623. I want to see real sumo.Copy !req
624. Maybe it's selfish,
but I want you to be serious.Copy !req
625. It is selfish.Copy !req
626. Try it yourself.Copy !req
627. Sorry, but sumo is the pits.Copy !req
628. It's gotta be.
Scuba-diving in Okinawa!Copy !req
629. The summer sun at the pool side.Copy !req
630. Great!Copy !req
631. What happened?Copy !req
632. He broke curfew.Copy !req
633. Three hundred.Copy !req
634. Three hundred ring stamps.Copy !req
635. Three hundred!Copy !req
636. Enough. You'll kill him.Copy !req
637. Tomorrow we leave for summer camp.Copy !req
638. Should be Hawaii.Copy !req
639. But we can't afford it,
so it's my hometown.Copy !req
640. Reef... diving.Copy !req
641. Muff diving?Copy !req
642. They can laugh now.Copy !req
643. Did you hear about Prof's
last summer camp?Copy !req
644. How should I'?Copy !req
645. We were about to be demoted.Copy !req
646. He took three members with him.Copy !req
647. Only he came back.Copy !req
648. The others couldn't take it
and ran away.Copy !req
649. They even quit school.Copy !req
650. With no members, we were demoted
to third division.Copy !req
651. And have remained there since.Copy !req
652. I've prepared chilled melon.Copy !req
653. Excuse the intrusion.Copy !req
654. This is "Hell-Camp?"Copy !req
655. We've done nothing since arriving.Copy !req
656. Eating and sleeping:
we'll end up like fat pigs.Copy !req
657. Shall we train?Copy !req
658. Anayama says not to.Copy !req
659. I'm not cut out for sumo.Copy !req
660. You like sumo?Copy !req
661. Not really...Copy !req
662. SQ why stay?Copy !req
663. Admittedly, I roped you in.Copy !req
664. It's the first time
I've ever been roped.Copy !req
665. All through school no-one
ever cared about me.Copy !req
666. I've never been in a club.Copy !req
667. I thought I'd never make friends.Copy !req
668. It was the first time anyone
ever asked me for anything.Copy !req
669. It made me really happy.Copy !req
670. Maybe sumo is not for me,Copy !req
671. but God gave me this final chance.Copy !req
672. Are you a Christian?Copy !req
673. Now we shall begin
your image training.Copy !req
674. Fill your mind with your
most pleasurable experience.Copy !req
675. When was it?Copy !req
676. 10 days ago.Copy !req
677. Where was it?Copy !req
678. The Yoshiwara American Cheer-girls.Copy !req
679. How was it pleasurable?Copy !req
680. How can I say...?Copy !req
681. I'm flattered but, I can't.Copy !req
682. You have a boyfriend?Copy !req
683. No.Copy !req
684. I'm not really interested in love.Copy !req
685. I may be mistaken,
but are you doing sumo for me'?Copy !req
686. Will you quit the club?Copy !req
687. Can we beat them in a month?Copy !req
688. What's all this?Copy !req
689. Get with it!Copy !req
690. It's not our choice
to lay around like this.Copy !req
691. It's the coach:
he insists we take it easy.Copy !req
692. Maybe he thinks it's pointless
to train you.Copy !req
693. Get up, Haruo.Copy !req
694. Lunch, boys.
Masako's special feast.Copy !req
695. Where's Tanaka?Copy !req
696. He snuck out earlier.Copy !req
697. I don't want to be a burden.Copy !req
698. I need to train.Copy !req
699. Remember, once I said...Copy !req
700. power doesn't always win in sumo.Copy !req
701. But bulk is a definite factor.Copy !req
702. A kilo in weight
is a kilo in strength.Copy !req
703. That's sumo.Copy !req
704. I know you all didn't want to get fat.Copy !req
705. So I brought you here.Copy !req
706. It's cool, with clean air,Copy !req
707. all you can possibly eat
and no training.Copy !req
708. You'll soon put on 5-6 kg.Copy !req
709. Earlier, you were over-training.Copy !req
710. Relax and build your strength.Copy !req
711. It's not good to over-train.Copy !req
712. Everyone's depressed to see
Hokuto guys training.Copy !req
713. The training in Tokyo seems wasted.Copy !req
714. We were just getting confident.Copy !req
715. I want to be strong.Copy !req
716. You're like dead fish!Copy !req
717. No more food here for you boys.Copy !req
718. It was delicious.Copy !req
719. You're all out of condition.Copy !req
720. You need competition?Copy !req
721. The Hokuto team are here.Copy !req
722. Are you kidding?Copy !req
723. No, I'm not.Copy !req
724. You've built your strength up.Copy !req
725. Now get confident.Copy !req
726. You're enthusiastic.Copy !req
727. It doesn't become you.Copy !req
728. Shut up.Copy !req
729. I'm frightened.Copy !req
730. You're keen.Copy !req
731. Here they come.Copy !req
732. Hokuto refused my offer.Copy !req
733. They don't like your attitude.Copy !req
734. So I asked the local schoolboy's club.Copy !req
735. Damn Hokuto!Copy !req
736. Train with the kids.Copy !req
737. This is pathetic.Copy !req
738. Regard us with favor!Copy !req
739. Shall we start with Smiley?Copy !req
740. Come together!Copy !req
741. Magic!Copy !req
742. It wasn't magic.Copy !req
743. When you pushed,
you put the strain on your legs.Copy !req
744. You lifted your leg.Copy !req
745. And he used his right hand
on your left leg,Copy !req
746. and your momentum to flip you over.Copy !req
747. What was that technique?Copy !req
748. Inside leg-trip.Copy !req
749. Power doesn't always win in sumo.Copy !req
750. Remember that, Smiley.Copy !req
751. As Jean Cocteau said,Copy !req
752. the balance in sumo is miraculous.Copy !req
753. In sumo, upsetting
your opponent's balance is all.Copy !req
754. Right, Tanaka.Copy !req
755. Shuhei.Copy !req
756. Damn it!Copy !req
757. Aoki.Copy !req
758. Yoshiwara American Cheer-girls.Copy !req
759. Even kids frighten him.Copy !req
760. Haruo.Copy !req
761. A Win!Copy !req
762. Once more!Copy !req
763. What's with him?Copy !req
764. I'm sorry.Copy !req
765. Are you alright?Copy !req
766. Hex
Crazy'Copy !req
767. Haruo, come here.Copy !req
768. Your spirit is admirable.Copy !req
769. But your power
doesn't match your spirit.Copy !req
770. Do as I tell you.Copy !req
771. I did it.Copy !req
772. The Tricky Cat.Copy !req
773. Startle him with a sharp clap.Copy !req
774. They always flinch.Copy !req
775. Even a grand champion lost when...Copy !req
776. someone used it on him.Copy !req
777. What was that?Copy !req
778. Special technique.Copy !req
779. He combined it with a head attack.Copy !req
780. That's my speciality.Copy !req
781. Along with my fabled inside leg-trip.Copy !req
782. Don't lift your legs.Copy !req
783. Remember the basics and you'll win.Copy !req
784. Don't go easy because they're kids.Copy !req
785. You're scared of boys?Copy !req
786. Take these off and you won't be.Copy !req
787. Close your eyes.Copy !req
788. Grab his sash!Copy !req
789. Lower your head.Copy !req
790. Don't try to throw him.
You'll lose your balance.Copy !req
791. He did it! He did it!Copy !req
792. Look at the kid-killer champs
gloating.Copy !req
793. They could win
the little boy's league.Copy !req
794. They're just bullies.Copy !req
795. This is a "comeback?"Copy !req
796. Give sumo some honor!Copy !req
797. What the hell!Copy !req
798. Stop it - please!Copy !req
799. Don't insult sumo!Copy !req
800. One month to the tournament.Copy !req
801. Your hell begins today.Copy !req
802. But don't be afraid.Copy !req
803. You have the will to win.Copy !req
804. Together we'll restore
the honor of Kyoritsu sumo.Copy !req
805. When pushed - push!
Pulled - push!Copy !req
806. Sumo is all pushing.Copy !req
807. Don't lift your legs!Copy !req
808. Slide!Copy !req
809. Don't look away.Copy !req
810. Close your eyes instead.Copy !req

816. Any color is allowable.Copy !req
