[00:24] Ashito
    I've made up my mind.
[00:26] Ashito
    I'm gonna do this.
[00:27] Ashito
    I'm ready!
[00:45] (Flashback) Hana/I
    There's always a reason
    behind everything he says.
[00:50] Ashito/I
    But I can't give up on being a
    forward. I'm not budging on that.
[00:55] Ashito/I
    I'll give full-back a try.
[00:57] Ashito/I
    If I wanna go back to being a forward,
    I need to find out why he thinks...
[01:02] Ashito/I
    ...I should play here!
[01:04] Ashito
    I'm so damn far away!
[02:37] Sign
    Where I Ought to Be
[02:39] Ashito/I
    Tachibana's crazy far away.
[02:42] Ashito/I
    The field seems bigger than before.
[02:47] (Flashback) Takeshima
    The shuffle.
[02:48] (Flashback) Takeshima
    As long as you do that, that's all I ask.
[02:50] (Flashback) Takeshima
    You can go join the attack or stay put.
     It's totally up to you.
[02:55] Ashito/I
    The ball's way upfield.
[02:57] Ashito/I
    This is no time to be defending.
[03:00] Ashito/I
    I'm pushing up.
[03:02] Takeshima
    Hold it, Aoi!
[03:06] Ashito
    But Takeshima, you said
    I could join the attack.
[03:08] Takeshima
    Idiot. Look at the other wing.
[03:10] Takeshima
    Our right-back, Masuko,
    is already pushing up.
[03:13] Takeshima
    If the right-back goes forward, the left-back
     drops into the middle, remember?
[03:17] Takeshima
    Togashi and I have
    already shuffled across.
[03:20] Takeshima
    If you wanna push up, check what
    your teammates are doing first.
[03:29] Roan
    O-Ohtomo!
[03:33] Ohtomo
    Dammit!
[03:35] Takeshima
    They're coming!
[03:36] Ashito/I
    I knew this already, but...
[03:39] Ashito/I
    I absolutely hate defending!
[03:44] Ashito/I
    They're coming down the left.
    Are they targeting me?
[03:48] Ashito/I
    W-Well, anyway, I gotta shift
    across and cover the middle.
[03:52] Ashito/I
    I'll be ready and waiting for 'em!
    I gotta do this, dammit!
[03:56] Takeshima
    What the hell are you doing, Aoi?!
[03:58] Takeshima
    You're meant to be shuffling, you dolt!
[04:00] Ashito
    Huh?!
[04:05] Ashito
    B-But I am! Didn't you see me
    shuffle across, Takeshima?
[04:08] Takeshima
    You're not doing it at all!
[04:11] Ashito/I
    H-He's kidding, right? If I move across
    any more, the wing'll be wide open.
[04:20] Takeshima
    It seems you have zero awareness
     of the risks when playing defense.
[04:24] Takeshima
    So I gotta start by teaching you
    what's dangerous and what's not, huh?
[04:32] Takeshima
    It's not the same as playing up front, Aoi.
[04:35] Takeshima
    There's no one behind you.
[04:39] Takeshima
    "There's no one. There's no one."
[04:42] Takeshima
    Repeat that 100 times until
    the ball next comes your way.
[04:46] Togashi
    Ashito!
[04:48] Togashi
    Ya ain't shufflin' into the middle
     at all. We hafta tighten up.
[04:52] Togashi
    Be mindful of that.
[05:03] Ohtomo
    Ashito!
[05:06] Ashito
    This is the first time
    I've touched the ball today!
[05:09] Ohtomo
    Let's build some momentum!
[05:11] Ashito
    Let's go!
[05:14] (Flashback) Takeshima
    If you wanna push up, check what
    your teammates are doing first.
[05:18] Ashito/I
    Oh, right. Masuko!
[05:19] Ashito/I
    H-He's not moving up.
[05:21] Ashito/I
    Masuko's staying put. Which means...
[05:27] Ohtomo
    The A team defender is engaging high?
[05:30] Ohtomo
    H-He's doubling up with the midfielder!
[05:32] Ashito/I
    I'm surrounded!
[05:34] Togashi
    Ashito! Put the ball out!
[05:36] Shimuzu
    Too late for that.
[05:43] Takeshima/I
    Akutsu-san... He's aiming
    for the space on the left.
[05:47] Togashi/I
    There are still two forwards occupyin'
    the middle. I can't go to him!
[06:03] Ashito
    Pushing up or not pushing up...
[06:05] Ashito
    I don't get to decide that on my own.
[06:08] Ashito
    And I've got no idea how far
     I need to shuffle across.
[06:12] Ashito
    This doesn't suit me one bit!
[06:15] Ashito
    And more importantly, this ain't fun!
[06:18] Ashito
    I don't get his reasoning at all!
[06:20] Ashito
    There's no way I can do this!
[06:24] Ashito
    Dammit!
[06:30] Akutsu
    Hey, guys.
[06:33] Akutsu
    Is the B team okay?
[06:35] Akutsu
    We've lost Yoshitsune, so it
    probably ain't our place to say...
[06:39] Akutsu
    But man, your team's seriously tanking.
[06:42] Akutsu
    Are you even able to play
    without Taira and Nagano?
[06:46] Akutsu
    Plus, you've got a total amateur on defense.
[06:51] Akutsu
    Don't go getting yourselves dumped
    from the Tokyo Metropolis League.
[06:57] Akutsu
    You want my advice, Aoi-chan?
[07:01] Akutsu
    Go back to the dorm as soon
    as possible, and pack your bags.
[07:06] Akutsu
    Be quick about it.
[07:08] Akutsu
    'Cause you've got zero talent.
[07:11] Ashito/I
    Playing as a full-back is so boring.
[07:15] Ashito/I
    There's absolutely no way I can do this!
[07:18] Ashito/I
    This isn't where I ought to be!
[07:26] Tachibana
    Roan! Out to the right!
[07:31] Ashito/I
    That's where I belong.
[07:34] Ashito/I
    I want to score!
[07:37] Takeshima
    Don't go, Aoi.
[07:39] Takeshima
    Masuko's already pushing up.
    Don't make me repeat myself.
[07:46] Takeshima
    Y'know, when you played up front,
    you seemed like a player with wider vision.
[07:52] Takeshima
    Do you just lose that
    if you're not feeling it?
[07:56] Ashito/I
    This isn't where I ought to be.
[07:59] Ashito/I
    This isn't where I ought to be.
[08:01] Ashito/I
    This isn't where I ought to be.
[08:03] Ashito/I
    Stop, dammit!
[08:05] Ashito/I
    I'm playing in a game
    right now. I need to focus.
[08:11] Tachibana
    They got the ball!
[08:12] Tachibana
    Ashito, incoming!
[08:18] Takeshima
    Didn't I tell you to shuffle across?
[08:21] Takeshima
    Block the shot!
[08:28] Ashito/I
    O-Ohtomo?!
[08:29] Takeshima
    It's not over yet! The ball's not cleared!
[08:37] Akutsu
    Oh?
[08:39] Togashi/I
    Wh-What's the deal with this guy's body?
[08:45] Takeshima
    Damn. The ball went to the other team again.
[08:47] Akutsu
    Eat this!
[08:55] Takeshima
    N-Nice clearance! Corner kick!
[08:58] Ashito
    Ohtomo!
[09:00] Tsukishima
    We told you not to get
    overly physical today, guys.
[09:05] Tsukishima
    Jeez. It's only a mini-game.
[09:08] Tsukishima
    Everyone on this team
    seriously hates losing, huh?
[09:14] Ashito
    I... I was meant to be the one defending...
[09:19] Ohtomo
    How about we all play defensively today?
[09:24] Ohtomo
    I can show off my defensive skills.
    Basically, I did that for my own sake.
[09:31] Ohtomo
    Anyway, you should be
    apologizing to Togashi, not me.
[09:35] Ohtomo
    He wants to go upfield, but he's
    too busy defending today. Okay?
[09:44] Tsukishima
    All right! Let's restart!
[09:48] Tsukishima
    Hey, no pushing! I said, no pushing!
     Cool it, will you?
[09:52] Tsukishima
    We can't afford any more injuries.
[09:55] Ashito
    T-Togashi.
[09:56] Togashi
    What?
[09:58] Ashito
    Sorry about my defending. Because of me,
     you can't go upfield like you usually—
[10:03] Togashi
    Huh?!
[10:05] Togashi
    Get a grip, ya knucklehead!
[10:09] Togashi
    I'm doin' it for myself.
[10:12] Togashi
    Fukuda-san told me I needed
    to work on my defensive skills.
[10:18] Togashi
    Go apologize to Ohtomo, not me.
[10:32] Ashito/I
    This isn't where I ought to be.
[10:34] Ashito
    I know.
[10:36] Ashito/I
    This isn't where I ought to be.
[10:38] Ashito
    I know that.
[10:42] Ashito/I
    This isn't where I ought to be.
[10:44] Ashito
    I said I get it.
[10:47] Ashito
    I get it.
[10:50] Ashito
    So don't be a burden...
[10:52] Ashito
    on your teammates!
[11:01] Takeshima/I
    Far side!
[11:02] Togashi/I
    They aimin' at Akutsu? No...
[11:04] Takeshima/I
    Even further than that?
    But who's it going to—
[11:06] Takeshima/I
    Oh!
[11:10] Ohtomo
    The other flank!
[11:11] Takeshima/I
    Crap. They piled players up on the left,
    hoping this would happen.
[11:22] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Your team's the one-yen coins.
    The ten-yen coins are the opposition.
[11:26] (Flashback) Fukuda
    They came from the incredible
    number of loose balls you picked up.
[11:30] (Flashback) Fukuda
    Are you aware of that?
[11:39] Kobayakawa/I
    H-He read the flight of the ball?
    No, that was more than just reading the flight.
[11:44] Nagano/I
    The moment the corner kick
    was taken, he ran towards me!
[11:48] Akutsu
    Your bad choices make me
    wanna vomit! Ya stupid dumbass!
[12:00] Ohtomo
    Tachibana!
[12:01] Ohtomo/I
    Just one defender. This is
    our best chance to counter...
[12:09] Tsukishima
    Okay, time's up.
[12:18] Akutsu
    Yo, B team.
[12:20] Akutsu
    Forget about that guy.
[12:23] Akutsu
    He's being forced to play defense
    to make up the numbers.
[12:26] Akutsu
    He'll quit soon enough.
[12:29] Akutsu
    Keep hanging around with this no-talent
     spoiled brat and you'll end up just like him.
[12:35] Akutsu
    Like I said, make sure you don't
    get dumped out of the league.
[12:39] Akutsu
    That's the only job the "second team" has.
[12:43] Togashi
    Shouldn't ya be worried 'bout yourselves?
[12:47] Togashi
    Ya only managed to score one goal against a
    makeshift team. Ain't that right, "first team"?
[12:54] Togashi
    Seems to me like ya need Yoshitsune
     to function. Don't ya think? Well?
[13:03] Akutsu
    Pushovers attract other pushovers, huh?
[13:07] Togashi
    Huh?
[13:08] Akutsu
    I know people say it all the time,
    but I hope you guys aren't taking it to heart.
[13:15] Akutsu
    They say youth teams aren't as
    strong mentally as high school teams.
[13:28] Ashito/I
    Damn. That last clearance...
[13:31] Ashito/I
    If only it had gone to Tachibana,
    we could've scored.
[13:36] Takeshima
    Tempo. Rhythm. Nothing
    was working for you, huh?
[13:40] Takeshima
    But don't worry too much.
[13:44] Takeshima
    Oh, and about the "shuffle," Aoi...
[13:47] Takeshima
    Even if leaving the wing
    wide open is a risk,
[13:50] Takeshima
    always think about
    tightening up centrally first.
[13:53] Takeshima
    If we get numbers in the middle,
[13:55] Takeshima
    even if the other team attacks down
    the flanks, it won't be a big deal.
[13:59] Takeshima
    Well, you'll get it soon enough.
[14:02] Ashito
    Uh, you brought a girl to training?
[14:06] Takeshima
    I'm the type of guy who keeps his soccer
    and his private life completely separate.

    Well, anyway, your shuffle has a way to go,
    but that last move wasn't bad.
[14:26] Ashito
    The last one? But I totally mishit that kick.
[14:29] Takeshima
    No, before that.
[14:32] Takeshima
    Your vision really is wide.
[14:37] Ashito
    What do you mean by "vision"?
[14:40] Takeshima
    Your lack of self-awareness is interesting.
[14:42] Takeshima
    If you learn to be more calculated with it,
    you'll have much more fun.
[14:47] Takeshima
    Plus, you'll be less erratic,
    so you'll be able to use it in any situation.
[14:52] Ashito
    I have no idea what you're talking about.
[14:54] Takeshima
    Maybe you should take a look
    at how Kuribayashi-san plays.
[15:01] Takeshima
    There's something in Kuribayashi's game
    you should incorporate into your own.
[15:06] Takeshima
    He's always doing it in matches as a way
    of increasing the options available to him.
[15:15] Takeshima
    If you do it too, you'll find
    life as a defender more fun.
[15:19] Takeshima
    See ya.

    Why is Aoi playing as a full-back?
[15:52] Anri

    Please tell me.
[16:06] Anri
    What is Manager Fukuda trying to tell us?
[16:11] Anri
    I'd like to know your thoughts on it.
[16:14] Anri
    I want to know what message
    Manager Fukuda is trying to convey.
[16:19] Togashi
    What the hell are ya blabberin' about, woman?
[16:22] Togashi
    I'm beat. I don't care if
    you're the owner's daughter.
[16:27] Togashi
    I ain't got time to indulge
    the hobbies of rich people.
[16:30] Togashi
    Go on home.
[16:32] Yuma
    Togashi. For the sake of her honor,
     I'll let ya in on somethin'.
[16:37] Yuma
    This girl wants to be a manager.
[16:43] Yuma
    Even though she ain't ever played the game,
    she wants to become a manager. For real.
[16:49] Togashi
    Guess ya can do anythin' when you're born
     the daughter of the owner of a soccer team.
[16:54] Anri
    Just to be clear, I'm not saying
    I want to be Esperion's manager.
[17:00] Anri
    So it has nothing to do with me
    being the owner's daughter.
[17:04] Anri
    I hope to work with a men's soccer team,
[17:08] Anri
    but I want to build a career on my own,
    using my own ideas,
[17:12] Anri
    even if it means starting out
    with a relatively small team.
[17:18] Anri
    That is my dream.
[17:24] Yuma
    Never gets old, no matter how many times
    I hear it! I love listenin' to her talk 'bout it!
[17:29] Yuma
    She's been sayin' that for years!
[17:34] Togashi
    Okay, fine.
[17:35] Togashi
    Lemme hear your thoughts first.
[17:38] Anri
    Huh?
[17:39] Togashi
    On why you reckon he made Ashito a defender.
[17:43] Togashi
    Ya meant what ya said, right? So tell me.
[17:46] Anri
    R-Right!
[17:50] Anri
    I initially thought Aoi wasn't youth team
     material at all, regardless of his position.
[17:58] (Flashback) Anri
    He'll be useless on the youth team.
[18:00] Anri
    But after watching the game against Seikyo High,
    my impression of him changed completely.
[18:06] Anri
    His vision is truly incredible.
[18:10] Anri
    I've never seen a player like him.
[18:14] Yuma
    Ain't that the truth?
[18:16] Yuma
    Ashito was brought in to be a full-back
    'cause he can put his vision to best use there.
[18:20] Yuma
    No doubt 'bout it. I bet that's why he got in,
    even though he wasn't that good.
[18:26] Yuma
    That's Fukuda-san for you.
[18:28] Anri
    But I want to make it clear that I don't agree
    with what you two implied in the classroom.
[18:37] (Flashback) Anri
    Surely no one can perfectly memorize the
    placement of every player on the field...
[18:42] Anri
    I mean, that's obviously not possible.

[18:46] Anri
    We shouldn't bring any unscientific
     hypotheses into soccer.
[18:51] Anri
    Aoi can memorize some players' positions,
    and predict the movements of some others.
[18:57] Anri
    That's the scope of his vision.
[19:00] Anri
    I also don't believe he can best
     utilize that talent as a forward.
[19:06] Anri
    The best position for Aoi is...
[19:10] Anri
    Attacking midfielder.
[19:11] Anri
    Or at least a deep-lying one.
[19:14] Anri
    In midfield, in any case. Definitely central.
[19:18] Anri
    But making him play as a defender?
[19:20] Anri
    Defense isn't in his wheelhouse.
[19:23] Anri
    I respect Manager Fukuda so, so much,
    but I can't understand his thinking.
[19:29] Anri
    I'd dearly like to know.
[19:32] Togashi
    Miss.
[19:33] Anri/Butler
    "Miss"?!
[19:35] Togashi
    Ya really do love soccer, don't ya?
[19:39] Togashi
    I've never heard a woman
    talk about soccer like that.
[19:43] Anri
    I... I do!
[19:44] Togashi
    Your passion's plain to see.
[19:49] Togashi
    But y'know, you're kinda
    wastin' a golden opportunity.
[19:55] Yuma
    I agree.
[19:56] Yuma
    Honestly, I couldn't care less
    why Ashito has to be a full-back.
[20:01] Yuma
    But I do know you're bein' wasteful.
[20:05] Anri
    Wh-What exactly do you mean?
[20:08] Togashi
    First of all, about what we discussed
    in the classroom being "unscientific"...
[20:14] Togashi
    I was watchin' this TV show a while back...
[20:16] Sign (Top Right)
    Subtitles Available
[20:17] Togashi
    They had this ex-Spanish
     international on it,
[20:22] Togashi
    and they were tryin' to scientifically prove
    how wide his field of vision was.
[20:26] Togashi
    They strapped a small camera to him,
    made him play a match,
[20:31] Togashi
    and then asked him to review the footage.
[20:36] Togashi
    Then, they stopped the
    footage partway through.
[20:40] Togashi
    He was told to draw the positions of the players
     at that moment as accurately as possible..
[20:50] Togashi
    They did the same
    experiment with other players,

    Actual Positions
[20:53] Togashi
    but the best they could manage
     was rememberin' three, tops.
[20:57] Togashi
    Some barely remembered
    where they were themselves.
[21:00] Togashi
    But this guy...
[21:01] Sign
    Ex-Spanish International's Results
[21:03] Togashi
    He got every player's position perfect,
    both his team's and the other team's.
[21:07] Anri
    I know of that experiment.
[21:10] Anri
    But that was the product of his training,
     built on top of natural talent.
[21:14] Anri
    Only special people like him could—
[21:18] Togashi
    For us players, it doesn't matter
    if it's scientifically possible or not.
[21:24] Togashi
    All we do is take in what's happenin'
    on the field, and trust our senses.
[21:29] Yuma
    Also, Anri...
[21:31] Yuma
    One other thing 'bout
    Ashito playin' full-back...
[21:35] Yuma
    You said earlier he
    should be playin' centrally.
[21:40] Yuma
    That says a lot about how you see soccer.
[21:43] Anri
    What?
[21:45] Yuma
    "Full-backs are only there to support,
     like the Lance in shogi."
[21:50] Yuma
    "The middle's more important."
[21:52] Yuma
    That's your unconscious bias.
[21:56] Yuma
    We ain't sure what's goin' on in
    Manager Fukuda's head, either.
[22:02] Yuma
    But if ya don't let go of your preconceived notions,
    ya'll miss the bigger picture.
[22:07] Yuma
    Soccer's much freer than that.
[22:12] Yuma
    That said, leavin' ya hangin' doesn't
    feel fair, so I'll tell ya what I think.
[22:18] Yuma
    What's Manager Fukuda's plan for Ashito
    that means he has to play at full-back?
[22:24] Yuma
    I dunno your answer to that, Togashi,
    but wanna say what we think at the same time?
[22:31] Yuma/Togashi
    Playmaker.
