Page 80:
Chi: C'mon, boy.
Guy: You sure,
Old Bat?
This team's got a guy who's holed himself up researching shogi for 50 years.
SFX: PAN PAN
Guy: He's an old geezer!
50 years.
He's like a super-austere monk! ['Super-austere monk' in bold.]
Our geezer is
better.
Old bat.
Chi: Hmph.
Who gives a shit about 50 years?
Narr: Gote
Chidori Chiko
First move
SFX: BACHII

Page 81:
Narr: "9-4 Fu".
At this moment
all 5,000 people went silent.
Why?
Because this "9-4 Fu" is well known move by a certain player
that was played on February 5th 1937.
That man was an isolated stone of a player
that sought the sea of clouds known as the shogi world.

Page 82:
Narr: Sakata Sankichi.
The '9-4 Fu" was
his move.
Popularity of Shogi in those days is incomparable to the present day.
It was overwhelmingly more so.
The big three forms of entertainment for Japan after the war
were baseball
sumo
and shogi.
And with the "Meijin by skill" being decided at the time

Page 83:
Narr: Up against the number one candidate for Meijin
Kimura Yoshio
for the first time
in 16 years
he appeared in the scene of the Shogi world.
Sakata Sankichi was already 66 years old.
And his first move
was
"9-4 Fu".
In this decisive game, he played a move never before played in pro shogi history.
Was it his real move? Was it a bluff?
It was a bizarre move with no clear motive.
People all over Japan
were dumbfounded.
Paper: Odd move (9-4 Fu)
Sakata Shougi's Essence

Page 84:
Guy: How absurd.
Sakata Sankichi's "9-4 Fu"?
When Sakta played that move
he lost.
Narr: At the time, "9-4 Fu" was pretty much like passing the first move.
SFX: PACHI
Narr: And Sakata in fact lost because of the slow start he got as a result of this move.
The "9-4 Fu" was essentially a 'provocation'.
Sakata's 'great confidence'
was exposed as 'conceit'.
But the "9-4 Fu"

Page 85:
Narr: Was Sakata Sankichi's child
which he left
to the new generation.
Sakata's "9-4 Fu"
finally grew up!!!!
SFX: BACHII
Narr: The bridge extended further!
"9-5 Fu"!

Page 86:
Guy: Wh... What is this?
She...
passed...
another move...?
Narr: If one considers 'two passes' on this board
it's already an old shogi play.
"9-5 Fu"'s
meaning is
'Long Shogi'... In other words, a war of attrition that goes for many moves.
Then the gyoku has a huge space around it
and the "9-5 Fu"
which gives an advantage even greater than what it seems to at first glance.

Page 87:
Guy: What is this?!
That move!
This is beyond ridicule!
I'll crush you forthwith!
Chi: Huhuh.
SFX: BACHIH
Narr: The opening of "9-5 Fu" is
even in the current shogi world
a super-new form!!!!
If you don't counter it properly
SFX: PACHI PACHI
Narr: the attack will be twice as bad!!!!
SFX: BACHII

Page 88:
Narr: Sakata Sankichi may have
alone
saw many generations ahead in possibilities for shogi.
Guy: What is this move?!
And this one!
I don't know them!
I don't!
NO!
NO!
Even after 50 years...
of my research
My 50 years
had a gaaaap?!

Page 89:
Narr: And with no mercy whatsoever
Mom's
"Attack shogi"
like a demon clawing through its opponent.
The audience
for just
one moment

Page 90-91:
Narr: witnessed a miracle.
SFX: BACHIIN
Guy: W-
We lo
Los
Lost!
Chi: ALL RIIIIIIIGHT!
SFX: Man she really is oooold!

Page 92:
Guy: Sakata Sankichi's "9-4 Fu"...
had a
continuation.
Chi: If you want to investigate shogi,
even if you lived a thousand years
it wouldn't be enough.
