Hikaru no Go · Season 2
[Hikaru has miraculously made his dead stones live]
How could I have missed it? Can he come back from here? No! It's impossible!
No. That's not right. This isn't a simple counterattack. There's some hidden strategy behind it.
[Hikaru has just played a good comeback move]
No! How... how could I have missed that? Shindo's stones!
13-14. A cap.
A cap move?
[He makes the move, shocking everyone]
What's Shindo doing? I can't believe he started his attack! It's so early in the game!
I think he must have realized that we put our own handicap on the game. And it sounds like he somehow knew Sai was playing through me.
As we played, I could sense an intensity from you which is normally only found in veterans of the game. Next time we play, let's make it an even game.
Yes. Next time.
Now you'll see what my game is. The Meijin, a true master of Go. I will not fall back. I will win this game. And you will tell me your name.
We're approaching the final part of the endgame. By my calculations, if we play through to the end, I'm going to lose the game by half a point. Unlike the battle that preceded it, the endgame is just a one way path. The moves are still complex. But barring any careless mistakes, there's only one correct path to follow. This opponent will not make a mistake. He already knows how the game will end, and so do I. [resigns the game, shocking the world]
The reason my spirit has endured for a millennium is so I could show Hikaru this one game and guide him toward the divine move.
