Two years ago I was a beginner and the gap between us was huge.
But now when I play you at your study group, I don't feel like I falter.
That's how I felt, anyway...
But I wasn't able to surpass you in an official match.
There's still something I lack.
MORISHITA-SENSEI:
Yes, there is. You can't see...
... the true ferocity of a go professional until you face him in real competition.
Compared to others, I'm like a cute little kid. The top ranked pros are truly demonic.
It's a major undertaking to try to face them at your age.
But that fan of yours...
... you didn't start carrying it just for fun, right?
It represents some kind of resolve on your part, doesn't it.
Just keep fighting. That's all you can do.
