[00:20] Date
    Akutsu, you'll play as a forward.
[00:22] Akutsu
    Right.
[00:23] Ohtomo/I
    Th-The center back's playing
    as a forward? Are you Túlio?
[00:28] Date
    The players moving up won't be
     ready for matches right away.
[00:32] Date
    If you don't get much game time in the
    A team, I'll try to field you in B team games.
[00:37] Date
    So make sure you're ready
    to turn out for the B team.
[00:40] Kuroda/I
    In short, we're in between
    the A team and the B team.
[00:44] Asari/I
    I'll show them I deserve my place.
    I'll be a starter within the month!
[00:50] Ohtomo
    Well, guess I can't expect too much.
    Ashito's omission is a surprise, though.
[00:56] Ohtomo
    We won both games thanks to him.
[01:00] Tachibana
    Yeah.
[01:02] Tachibana
    I thought they'd move him up for sure,
     even if he is still lacking in some areas.
[01:07] Tachibana
    Manager Fukuda's known for his bold
    choices when it comes to picking players.
[01:12] Togashi

[02:55] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Ohtomo Eisaku. Tachibana
     Soichiro. Aoi Ashito.
[03:00] (Flashback) Fukuda
    These three are my picks
    from this year's tryouts.
[03:04] (Flashback) Date
    Aoi won't cut it. He lacks something
    hard work can never make up for.
[03:09] (Flashback) Date
    I can't imagine him playing
    on Esperion's front line.
[03:13] (Flashback) Fukuda
    I'll turn him into a defender.
[03:18] (Flashback) Fukuda
    What do you think?
[03:19] (Flashback) Date
    A-As a full-back?
[03:21] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Yup. Makes sense, right?
[03:25] (Flashback) Date
    But I'm sure he won't want to
    change position. We can't force him.
[03:30] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Be in my corner on this, Nozomi.
[03:33] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Then I can tell him when the time's right.

[03:49] Ohtomo
    D-Does Ashito... Does Ashito know about this?
[03:54] Ohtomo
    Making him a defender?
    The guy's obsessed with scoring!
[04:00] Togashi
    I'm goin' for a jog.
[04:03] Ohtomo
    Huh?!
[04:05] Tachibana
    I-I'm gonna go look for him!
[04:08] Ohtomo
    Oh, I see. Damn, he doesn't
    have a cell phone, does he?
[04:12] Ohtomo
    I'm coming, too!
[04:14] Kuroda
    I-I need to go because it's almost curfew.
[04:18] Kuroda
    I can't go breaking curfew, you know?
[04:35] Sign
    Yuma contacted me.
    Aoi hasn't been back to the dorm.
[04:35] Sign
    He's in shock about being
    ordered to change position to DF.
    Hana-san, do you have
    any idea where he might be?

[04:44] (Flashback) Date
    You're fielding Aoi as a forward?
[04:47] (Flashback) Date
    When do you plan on telling him?
[04:50] (Flashback) Fukuda
    He'll play as a forward for a
    couple of competitive games.
[04:54] (Flashback) Date
    And what exactly is the point of that?
[04:57] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Before we can discuss his position,
     he needs to master the basics.
[05:01] (Flashback) Fukuda
    We'll play him in the position he's
    used to and raise his skill level first.
[05:07] (Flashback) Date
    I've said this before...
[05:10] (Flashback) Date
    but he won't accept it.
[05:12] (Flashback) Date
    Don't even consider making him
    do something he doesn't want to.
[05:23] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Nozomi, Ashito's sitting by the window.
     I want you to motivate him.
[05:28] (Flashback) Fukuda
    You think he won't cut it as a forward.
     Say that loud enough for him to hear.
[05:32] (Flashback) Fukuda
    His strength lies in his defiance.
[05:35] (Flashback) Fukuda
    I promise this'll be good for him.
[05:38] (Flashback) Fukuda
    I need you to play the bad guy here.
     I'm sorry, but please do this for me.
[05:43] Date
    Fukuda... Up to now, everything's
    turned out the way you said it would.
[05:48] Date
    Things turn out the way you predict.
[05:51] Date
    It's always been this way. Always.

[06:05] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Man, I'm relieved. My skills
    are good enough, Nozomi!
[06:09] (Flashback) Date
    Yeah. No one would've
    guessed this was your debut.
[06:13] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Three years, I think.
[06:16] (Flashback) Fukuda
    I can be a key player in three years.
[06:18] (Flashback) Fukuda
    I'll make a name for myself here,
     then go off to Europe.
[06:22] (Flashback) Fukuda
    I'm gonna do it, Nozomi!
[06:26] Date/I
    You're something else, Fukuda.
[06:29] Date/I
    Aoi Ashito playing full-back...
[06:33] Date/I
    If he agrees to it, unlimited possibilities
    await for both you and Aoi. However...
[06:42] Date/I
    I cannot allow you to
    bulldoze your way through.
[06:46] Date
    Was this really the right time to tell him?
[06:49] Date
    Was this the right way to do it?
[06:52] Date
    This time, I'm not so sure...
[06:55] Date
    Fukuda.
[06:57] Anri/I
    Yuma texted me.
[06:59] Anri/I
    Aoi hasn't been back to the dorm.
[07:02] Anri/I
    "Hana-san, do you have any
    idea where he might be?"
[07:44] Hana
    Your eyes.
[08:00] Hana
    Lose that look in them.
[08:04] Hana
    Have you eaten yet?
[08:09] Hana
    C'mon! C'mon!
[08:10] Hana
    Perfect, right? Neither the first team nor
    the academy are using this place today.
[08:16] Hana
    I knew they wouldn't be,
    'cause I used to work here.
[08:19] Hana
    Just sit wherever. I'll cook for you.
[08:33] Hana
    Okay, eat up!
[08:36] Ashito
    How... did you know I'd be there?
[08:42] Hana
    Anri told me what happened,
    and then, I used my brain.
[08:46] Hana
    You'd just finished a match and
    you didn't go back to the dorm.
[08:50] Hana
    You were still in your kit. In a crowd,
    you'd be spotted and the team contacted.
[08:56] Hana
    So you couldn't be downtown
     or at the train station.
[09:00] Hana
    I don't know much about soccer, but even
    I could tell this'd be tough to go through.
[09:06] Hana
    Maybe even worse for you, so I figured
    your mind would turn toward Ehime.
[09:12] Hana
    Which meant you'd be at a bus stop.
[09:16] Hana
    Still, I didn't think I'd actually find you.
[09:20] Hana
    Who knew a future top surgeon
    would be so skilled at this stuff?
[09:26] Hana
    But I'm glad I found you.
[09:30] Ashito
    I can't even remember how I got there.
[09:34] Ashito
    My mind was totally blank
     until you showed up.
[09:38] Ashito
    Even now, I'm still out of sorts.
[09:41] Ashito
    Your brother's... kind of terrible.
[09:46] Ashito
    Really terrible.
[09:50] Hana
    There's always a reason
    behind everything he says.
[09:56] Hana
    Though...
[09:58] Hana
    I don't know much about soccer, but I do
     know how much you care about scoring.
[10:05] Hana
    I'm sorry.
[10:09] Hana
    Do you want to quit?
[10:12] Hana
    You're not going to quit... are you?
[10:18] Ashito
    No, I won't.
[10:20] Ashito
    I can't afford to quit.
[10:29] Ashito
    I'll space out a little while longer, then
    head back to the dorm. I've got to, right?
[10:34] Ashito
    Sorry, Hana.
[10:35] Ashito
    I know you cooked this meal for me,
     but I'm all full up right now.
[10:47] Ashito
    A defender...
[10:49] Ashito
    A defender, huh?
[11:00] Ashito
    Wh-What are you doing?
[11:03] Noriko/I
    Hello?
[11:04] Noriko
    Hana-chan? Why are you calling at this hour?
[11:09] Noriko
    Hello? Is everything okay?
[11:12] Noriko/I
    Hello?
[11:19] Noriko
    Ashito?
[11:22] Noriko/I
    Ashito? Is that you, Ashito?
[11:24] Noriko
    I know it's you!
[11:26] Noriko
    Did something happen?
[11:40] Noriko
    Don't get too worked up.
[11:45] Noriko
    If it doesn't work out, just come home.
     That's all there is to it.
[11:58] Ashito
    Nothing happened.
[12:02] Ashito
    It's nothing.
[12:03] Ashito
    Don't worry about me.
[12:08] Noriko
    Okay, then.
[12:16] Hana
    I know you've got a lot of
    weight on your shoulders, but...
[12:20] Hana
    Don't drive yourself into a corner.
[12:23] Hana
    Don't say things like "I can't afford to quit"
    with that look in your eyes.
[12:28] Hana
    I don't know much about soccer,
    and I'm sure things aren't easy...
[12:34] Hana
    But in your case, I hope
    you can look at it like this:
[12:38] Hana
    It's just soccer.
[12:43] Hana
    I heard what Noriko-san said.
    She's a nice person.
[12:53] Ashito
    Can I eat this?
[12:57] Hana
    Of course.
[13:23] Kuribayashi
    Akutsu, there's a ruckus in the lobby.
     Did something happen?
[13:28] Akutsu
    Kuribayashi?
[13:31] Akutsu
    What are you doin' here?
    You don't live in the dorm.
[13:36] Akutsu
    Aren't you on the bench
    for tomorrow's J1 game?
[13:41] Kuribayashi
    There was someone I wanted
    to see before the match.
[13:44] Kuribayashi
    His name's Aoi Ashito.
[13:48] Akutsu
    Huh?
[13:49] Kuribayashi
    It's not a big deal, but I can't find him.
[13:54] Akutsu
    The fuss in the lobby is about him.
     He hasn't returned to the dorm yet.
[14:00] Kuribayashi
    How come?
[14:02] Akutsu
    He's a useless forward, so he was
    told to switch to being a defender,
[14:05] Akutsu
    and he wandered off in shock. What a loser.
[14:09] Akutsu
    I hope he quits and doesn't come back.
[14:12] Kuribayashi
    But why should he be shocked by that?
[14:14] Kuribayashi
    He should totally play at the back.
[14:16] Kuribayashi
    Watching him play, it's clear
    he wouldn't have gotten in otherwise.
[14:20] Kuribayashi
    You knew that, didn't you?
[14:24] Kuribayashi
    Akutsu, you should teach him how to defend.
[14:27] Kuribayashi
    That makes the most sense—
[14:29] Akutsu
    Shut up!
[14:31] Kuribayashi
    We used to talk about it a lot, remember?
[14:34] Kuribayashi
    About how we needed a full-back to
     complete Fukuda-san's "big picture."
[14:38] Ohtomo
    Ashito!
[14:40] Ohtomo
    Where have you been?
[14:43] Ohtomo
    We looked everywhere for you.
[14:46] Ashito
    Sorry. My bad.
[14:48] Ohtomo
    But, hey... Are you all right?
[14:55] Ashito
    I broke curfew. I gotta go
    apologize to the dorm mother.
[15:00] Tachibana
    Ashito...
[15:18] Akutsu
    Ya gotta be kidding me.
[15:21] Akutsu
    You're useless as a forward,
    so now you'll be trained as a defender?
[15:22] Akutsu
    Fire Hydrant
[15:26] Akutsu
    For us defenders,
    it'll be a huge pain in the ass.
[15:33] Akutsu
    You miserable?
[15:35] Akutsu
    Hey, haven't you given up on soccer yet?
[15:53] Ashito
    I don't know the first thing
    about being a defender.
[15:58] Ashito
    So I'll be relying on you.
    Please help me learn.
[16:07] Ashito/I
    Thank you, Hana.
[16:11] Ashito/I
    I really don't want to be a defender,
    but there's no other way!
[16:22] Kuribayashi/I
    Seems he's got a lot going on.
    Maybe I'll come back another time.
[16:27] Kuribayashi/I
    This meal plan I found at the game last week...

[16:44] Togashi
    What happened to your face?
[16:46] Ashito
    The dorm mother sent me flying.
[16:48] Ashito
    Spirited moms are no joke...
[16:52] Togashi
    Okay, you ready?
[16:53] Ashito
    Ready? For what?
[16:55] Togashi
    Learnin' the basics of
    bein' a defender, of course.
[16:58] Togashi
    Who else is gonna teach ya if not me?
[17:06] Asari
    I'll join you. I'd like to pay off my debt.
[17:09] Ashito
    A-Asari!
[17:10] Ashito
    "Debt"? You mean the day
    of the entrance ceremony?
[17:14] Asari
    I'm a cut above, so I'm moving up to the A team.
[17:16] Asari
    Teaching you about being a defender
     as a farewell gift isn't a bad idea.
[17:21] Asari
    I'm not Kuroda or Takeshima,
    so I'm allowed in this room, right?
[17:27] Asari
    Togashi.
[17:33] Ashito
    Thank you. Thank you, both of you.
[17:37] Ashito
    I'll take you up on it!
[17:40] Asari
    A forward becoming a defender.
[17:42] Asari
    The game's very different for different
     positions, so it won't be easy to adjust.
[17:46] Asari
    And when it comes to that,
    I reckon you'll struggle with it.
[17:52] Asari
    Right, Togashi?
[17:54] Togashi
    The "shuffle."
[17:56] Togashi
    If ya don't learn the
    full meanin' of the word,
[17:59] Togashi
    ya won't be playin' a
    game of soccer, Ashito.
[18:09] Togashi
    So, the shuffle is...
[18:10] Togashi
    Let's say there are four defenders,
    and one of the full-backs is headin' upfield.
[18:17] Togashi
    That creates a space right here.
[18:22] Sign
    SPAC
[18:22] Togashi
    Ya have to fill this space quickly.
[18:26] Togashi
    How would ya do that?
[18:32] Asari
    The three other defenders
     all shuffle sideways.
[18:37] Sign
    SPACE
[18:37] Asari
    Keeping it tight centrally.
[18:40] Asari
    Plugging a huge gap or a potentially
    fatal space like this is called the "shuffle."
[18:45] Togashi
    Hey, man! I was gonna tell him that!
[18:47] Asari
    What?
[18:49] Ashito
    You know...
[18:53] Ashito
    I mean, duh! Even I know that much!

     split up into two groups of nine,
[19:11] Date
    and play 20-minute 9-on-9 games.
[19:14] Date
    The aim is to clarify your position and role
     with your teammates in these teams.
[19:21] Date
    As such, you will refrain

[20:01] Ohtomo
    Even Kuroda and Asari
    can't keep up with them.
[20:04] Ohtomo
    The A team's no joke.
[20:07] Ohtomo
    Right, Ashito?
[20:13] Benzen
    Come on. Hurry it up!
[20:14] Benzen
    Your game's about to begin.
[20:16] Ohtomo
    Crap!
[20:29] Date
    How are you feeling?
[20:32] Ashito
    Not bad.
[20:35] Date
    I see. Do your best.
[21:02] Ashito/I
    A-A full-back stands this far back?
[21:06] Ashito/I
    It's a completely different
    view from a forward's.
[21:09] Ashito/I
    The other team is so far away,
    I can see everyone.
[21:12] Ashito/I
    My team, their team...
    I can see every single player as a full-back.
[21:19] Takeshima
    Good to have you here.
[21:22] Takeshima
    Let’s do our best, newbie defender.
     I'll be controlling the defensive line.
[21:30] (Flashback) Asari
    Togashi and I are both
    attack-minded defenders.
[21:33] (Flashback) Asari
    If you want advice specifically on defending,
     Takeshima's your best bet.
[21:39] (Flashback) Asari
    Esperion's a super-attacking team,
    but he's been a defender since he was a kid.
[21:44] (Flashback) Asari
    Against Seikyo, everyone felt comfortable
    joining the attack knowing he had our backs.
[21:49] Ashito
    T-Takeshima!
[21:52] Ashito
    Is there anything you want
     me to do in particular?
[22:00] Takeshima
    The shuffle.
[22:01] Takeshima
    As long as you do that, that's all I ask.
[22:06] Takeshima
    If you do that bit right, you can go join
    the attack or stay put. It's totally up to you.
[22:18] Ashito/I
    I've made up my mind.
[22:20] Ashito/I
    I'm gonna do this.
[22:21] Ashito/I
    I'm ready!
