HikaGo 170 We see various shots of Touya Kouyo in China as the press guys comment on all the excitement. One guy then mentions how Touya Akira will be making his internation debut in 2 weeks. We then go to Soul where Kosemura walks into the Korean Go Institute where the people there are surprised because they heard he was coming the following day and have no translator. One guy asks if Suyon is around since he speaks Japanese but he's not there. They hear Kose say the names of the Korean Hokuto team so they realize why he's here but only Ko Yonha is there. There is only a guy who knows a tiny bit of Japanese around. They start to argue about who's fault this is before one guy blames Kosemura who has no idea what they are talking about and says "huh?" We go to Tokyo where the pros are about to take their lunch break. Hikaru walks up to Akira and mentions how Yashiro called him and suggested they practice together. Yashiro is willing to come 3 days early for this. Akira asks where they would do this and Hikaru isn't sure but suggests the hotel Yashiro will be staying. Akira says his house is free with his parents out and they could do it there, and Yashiro could stay there too. Hikaru says he'll stay there too so they can play a lot. Hikaru walks off saying he'll tell yashiro and Akira says to him that let's do our best since we 3 are the japanese reps. We then see Kosemura walk into a room where Ko yonha is sitting while two Korean guys seem to be arguing. Kose is wondering what's up and why the other team members aren't there. The "translator" guy explains with "They not here. Ko Yonha here. Hurry ask" Kosemura is a bit annoyed and sees that Ko looks annoyed about having to do this. Kose starts by asking if Ko knows about the Japanese and Korean team members. The translator gives Ko's answer as "I know. I wait play Touya Akira." Kose is impressed that Ko seems to know a lot about Japan and asks if he knows about Honinbo Shusaku. Translator gives the answer as "I know Honinbo Shusaku well." Kosemura comments like "he's great, right?" and Yonha's answer is "He not have strength." As Kose is surprised Ko keeps talking and the translator gives the answers as "Japan lose. Shusaku person of the past." Kose comments that many players still study Shusaku's kifu and Ko then says "Nothing to learn from Shusaku, then adds "Japan weak, Shusaku weak. Too bad." The translator then stands up saying that Ko says the interview is over.
