    Kuribayashi Haruhisa once again
    joins the fray in the second half.
[00:06] Sportscaster/I
    He seems to be adjusting very
    well to being on the first team.
[00:11] (Flashback) Takeshima
    There's something in Kuribayashi's game
    you should incorporate into your own.

    Wow! The pass got through!
[00:22] Ashito
    Is this it? Is this what he was talking about?
[00:28] Tsukishima
    Hey, Aoi!
[00:29] Tsukishima
    No running in the dorm hallway!
[00:31] Ashito
    Nozomi-san!
[00:33] Ashito
    The footage you have
    of Kuribayashi's games...
[00:36] Ashito
    Can I have all of it?
[02:12] Benzen
    What do you think
    you're doing, Aoi?
[02:13] Sign
    Just Like You
[02:14] Benzen
    Pay attention!
[02:15] Shimizu
    Aoi-kun! Where are you looking?
[02:24] Shimizu
    Aoi-kun. You've been so distracted lately.
[02:28] Ashito
    S-Sorry.
[02:31] Shimizu
    You weren't looking at the
    person with the ball at all.
[02:34] Ashito
    Sorry.
[02:36] Benzen
    Has he lost his motivation, Nozomi?
[02:42] Benzen
    Aoi hasn't been able to focus this week.
[02:49] (Flashback) Date
    Kuribayashi's games?
[02:52] (Flashback) Date
    Forget the killer pass. You should
    be watching footage of defenders—
[02:55] (Flashback) Ashito
    There's something I need to confirm!
[02:59] (Flashback) Ashito
    It's so run-of-the-mill,
     I never paid close attention to it.
[03:02] (Flashback) Ashito
    Even I was taught it when I was little,
     so it's nothing special.
[03:08] (Flashback) Ashito
    But Kuribayashi takes it to the extreme.
    He does it constantly, all game long.
[03:13] (Flashback) Ashito
    It's almost too creepy.
[03:15] (Flashback) Ashito
    So please! Show me his past games!
[03:18] (Flashback) Ashito
    I want to see if he's been
    doing it for a long time.
[03:21] (Flashback) Tsukishima
    Does this mean you're
    ready to play as a defender?
[03:26] (Flashback) Ashito
    I can't say I'm ready.
    But my teammates...
[03:30] (Flashback) Tsukishima
    Hm?
[03:31] (Flashback) Ashito
    I don't want to cause
    trouble for my teammates.
[03:35] (Flashback) Ashito
    I want to be at a level where I'm not
    dragging them down. I have to be!
[03:46] Takeshima
    Aoi.
[03:47] Takeshima
    You were late with the shuffle again.

    How many times does he turn his head?
[04:07] (Flashback) Ashito
    He's like a chicken.
[04:12] (Flashback) Ashito
    Right before he receives the ball,
    he turns his head left and right.

    He does it again after he receives it.
[04:22] (Flashback) Ashito
    And it's really quick, too.
[04:25] (Flashback) Ashito
    It takes him less than a second.
[04:29] (Flashback) Ashito
    He's doing it when the ball isn't near him.
[04:31] (Flashback) Ashito
    This motion is totally automatic.
[04:34] (Flashback) Ashito
    If I could turn my head like that, too,
[04:36] (Flashback) Ashito
    I'd always know which players and
    how many were around me,
[04:39] (Flashback) Ashito
    and what I should be doing on the play.
[04:44] (Flashback) Ashito
    The head turns I've been doing since
    I was a kid don't even compare to this.
[04:49] (Flashback) Ashito
    I have to relearn it from scratch.
[04:54] Togashi
    Ashito!
[04:56] Anri/I
    In soccer, the motion of turning
    one's head is the most basic of basics.
[05:01] Anri/I
    Yet, not many can master
    the essence of the movement,
[05:04] Anri/I
    and end up just mechanically
    going through the motions.
[05:09] Anri/I
    Ideally, you'd do it right
    before receiving the ball.
[05:12] Anri/I
    By looking this way and that, you instantly
    get a grasp on the situation on the field.
[05:18] Anri/I
    Plus, by demonstrating your
    awareness of your surroundings,
[05:22] Anri/I
    the other team hesitates to tackle you,
[05:24] Anri/I
    and your teammates feel
    comfortable linking up with you.
[05:28] (Flashback) Anri
    There's something in Kuribayashi's game
    you should incorporate into your own.
[05:37] Anri/I
    Correct answer.
[05:38] Anri/I
    This is what I was referring to.
[05:43] Ashito/I
    Th-This is no good!
[05:46] Ashito/I
    I'm turning my head pointlessly!
    I don't know what I'm looking for!
[05:49] Ashito/I
    Forget being a full-back. I'm causing
    so many problems for my teammates.
[05:55] Ashito/I
    Whoa. They're crazy scary.
[06:03] Ashito/I
    I think I've done enough of that for today.
[06:06] Ashito/I
    This is easier said than done.
[06:08] Togahsi
    Ashito!
[06:09] Togahsi
    Attack down the wing!
[06:14] Ashito/I
    Crap! I wasn't looking in front of me!
[06:16] Ashito/I
    Maybe I can pass it back to Togashi and—
[06:30] Date
    All right. Call everyone over, Benzen.
[06:34] Date
    I'm going to announce the starters for
    Match 3 of the Tokyo Metropolis League.
[06:39] Hana
    Hana-chan has arrived! It's my first day
     working in the cafeteria in a while.

    Hey.
[07:07] Anri
    Up until the last game, you'd contributed
    greatly to the B team as a forward.
[07:12] Anri
    A week later, you don't even make the bench.
[07:16] Ashito
    What can I do?
[07:17] Ashito
    As a full-back, even if I get on
    the field, I can't do anything.
[07:23] Anri
    You don't seem too frustrated.
[07:26] Ashito
    You mentioned the thing
    Kuribayashi does that I should copy.
[07:31] Ashito
    It's turning my head, right?
[07:33] Anri
    Yes.
[07:35] Ashito
    Is there an individual drill I can
    do for it? How do I master it?
[07:42] Ashito
    I want to be able to do it
    unconsciously like Kuribayashi does.
[07:51] Anri/I
    I-I... I'm being tested as someone
    who aspires to be an instructor!

    You made that meal plan, didn't you?
[08:02] Hana
    I-I knew I was missing a page.
[08:05] Kuribayashi
    I was looking at it in the cafeteria
    when that lunch lady told me about you.
[08:09] (Flashback) Lunch Lady
    She worked really hard on it,
    consulting our menu for the options.
[08:13] (Flashback) Lunch Lady
    All for a player. Brought a tear to my eye.
[08:19] Kuribayashi
    I didn't expect Manager Fukuda's
    sister to be the one who made this.
[08:23] Kuribayashi
    Ever since we were in junior youth,
    you often came by to help out.
[08:27] Hana
    Wow, what an honor. The world-renowned
    Kuribayashi Haruhisa knows who I am.
[08:33] Kuribayashi
    You patched me up when I got injured once.
[08:40] Middle-Aged Supporter A
    I thought it was you, Kuribayashi-kun!
[08:43] Middle-Aged Supporter A
    You're the big hope of
    Esperion's fans and our star!
[08:46] Kuribayashi
    Well, thank you.
[08:48] Middle-Aged Supporter A
    We'll be counting on you in the next game, too!
[08:50] Middle-Aged Supporter A
    I love you!
[08:52] Middle-Aged Supporter A
    See ya.
[08:57] Hana
    You're so loved. Guess it's to be
    expected of a world-famous—
[09:00] Kuribayashi
    I want to succeed on the world stage.
[09:04] Kuribayashi
    I mean it.
[09:06] Kuribayashi
    Can you help me?
[09:09] Hana
    Huh?
[09:10] Kuribayashi
    Make a meal plan for me too, Hana-san.
[09:13] Hana
    Huh?
[09:14] Kuribayashi
    I'm a picky eater. I don't even want

[09:25] Kuribayashi
    You put so much thought into it.
[09:26] Kuribayashi
    I assumed it's what you want to do in
     the future. Sports nutrition, I mean.
[09:32] Kuribayashi
    I play in a professional league.
[09:35] Kuribayashi
    I'm sure making this for me
    will help you, too. So please.
[09:52] Hana
    On one condition.
[09:54] Kuribayashi
    What is it?
[09:56] Hana
    Ashito seems to want to play like you.
    Could you give him some advice—
[10:14] Kuribayashi
    What is it?
[10:19] Hana
    Okay, I'll work on it.
[10:25] Anri
    You have to make turning
    your head a habit, Ashito.
[10:29] Anri
    Consciously incorporate it
    into your daily training.
[10:34] Anri
    This is simple ball-juggling.
[10:37] Anri
    Then, when the ball's high up in the air...
[10:41] Anri
    ...look left and right,
    and catch it on your foot.
[10:44] Anri
    Don't just turn your head. Try to spot
     something as you look both ways.
[10:50] Anri
    For instance...
[10:51] Anri
    A pebble. A leaf. Catch on your foot.
[10:54] Anri
    And repeat.
[10:57] Anri
    B-But I'm sure you already
     know such a basic drill.
[11:02] Ashito
    Your ball control's great.
[11:04] Anri
    Y-You think so?
[11:06] Ashito
    Yeah. But you're right, I do know that drill.
[11:10] Anri
    I-I'm sorry.
[11:11] Ashito
    Though I never knew I was
    supposed to spot things.
[11:15] Ashito
    Okay. I'll do it ten thousand times.
[11:18] Ashito
    I know I can do it properly now.
[11:24] Anri/I
    He's so positive.
[11:26] Anri/I
    He was made to change his position,
    and he's not even on the bench for the game.
[11:30] Anri/I
    But he works on the assignment
    at hand without sulking at all.
[11:34] Anri/I
    It hasn't even been a week
    since his face looked like that.
[11:42] Anri/I
    He's cute.
[11:48] Ashito/I
    That pass to Ohtomo earlier...
[11:52] Ashito/I
    I did it unconsciously.
[11:54] Ashito/I
    I really have no idea how I did it.
[11:58] Ashito/I
    The only difference was
    that I turned my head.
[12:01] Ashito/I
    And just then, for a split second...
[12:06] Ashito/I
    What exactly was that?
[12:08] Ashito/I
    I feel like it's happened before.
[12:11] Ashito/I
    It was fleeting, but I saw it very clearly.
[12:14] Ashito/I
    Up until then, it was in the corner of my mind,
    all crowded like ants swarming around.
[12:21] Ashito/I
    It felt like I was able to
    connect to that vision.
[12:24] Ashito/I
    I can't quite put it into words.
[12:28] Ashito/I
    But...
[12:29] Ashito/I
    I'll turn my head.
[12:31] Ashito/I
    If I can't play in a match,
[12:32] Ashito/I
    then I'll master this perfectly
    until I can do it like Kuribayashi.
[12:37] Ashito/I
    I feel like I'm about to
    grasp something great.
[12:40] (Flashback) Takeshima

[13:18] Shimizu
    The strength of Esperion Youth is...
[13:21] Shimizu
    that even the second team plays at
     Tokyo Metropolis League level.
[13:25] Shimizu
    That's how the team manages
    to stay strong overall.
[13:29] Shimizu
    But if we're relegated, it limits the potential
    of the team next year and for years to come.
[13:34] Taira
    You're right. We must avoid
    relegation at all costs.
[13:37] Taira
    That's the bare minimum
    expected of the B team.
[13:41] Taira
    I've moved up to the A team, but I'm always
     thinking about everyone on the B team.
[13:46] Taira
    You must figure it out quick.

    Well, we defenders have been doing
    our part by not letting too many in.
[14:01] Takeshima
    On top of that, Togashi and I don't even
    chat to each other during the game.
[14:06] Takeshima
    Even though we're both defenders.
[14:09] Tachibana
    I really am sorry.
[14:12] Tachibana
    Because I can't score any goals...
[14:15] Taira
    Tachibana, don't try to shoulder
    all of the responsibility by yourself.
[14:19] Taira
    You're too serious.
[14:20] Shimizu
    Hey, Taira, do you think Coach Nozomi's
    considering bringing Aoi back as a forward?
[14:27] Ohtomo
    Oh! That reminds me!
[14:30] Ohtomo
    Ashito isn't here yet, is he?
[14:32] Ohtomo
    What's he doing, missing such
    an important meeting, huh?
[14:36] Masuko
    Aoi stayed behind to practice like usual.
[14:40] Ohtomo
    Oh?
[14:42] Masuko
    After our regular session,
    he trains by himself for an hour or so.
[14:46] Masuko
    Every day for the past month.
[14:49] Isshiki
    We don't have time to talk about
    players who aren't even on the bench.
[14:52] Isshiki
    We've gotta talk about the team.
[14:54] Shimizu
    I'm begging you! Offense, step up your game!
[14:57] Shimizu
    We play the team at the top, Tokyo Musashino,
     the game after next. We need it sorted by then.
[15:05] Taira
    Musashino... What's with their record?

    I don't know much about it, but it seems
    they have a new manager this year.
[15:19] Shimizu
    I heard their highly-regarded junior
    youth team manager got promoted.
[15:24] Shimizu
    In any case, their strength's extraordinary.
[15:26] Shimizu
    Considering the state we're in, they're the
     team we least want to face right now.
[15:32] Taira
    Come to think of it, Tachibana...
    Isn't Musashino your old team?
[15:45] Tachibana
    You're still practicing, Ashito?
[15:48] Ashito
    Oh, hey, Tachibana!
[15:50] Ashito
    Crap! Did I miss the meeting?
[15:53] Ashito
    Sorry about that.
[15:54] Ashito
    Since I'm not even on the bench, I didn't
     think I could contribute much anyway.
[15:58] Ashito
    So I prioritized practicing.
[16:00] Ashito
    I'll carry on for a little longer,
    so head back to the dorm without me.
[16:05] Tachibana
    You're truly amazing.
[16:07] Ashito
    I am?
[16:09] Tachibana
    You don't sulk. Like, ever.
[16:12] Tachibana
    I don't know anyone who
    works harder than you.
[16:14] Ashito
    Oh, yeah?
[16:15] Tachibana
    It's true.
[16:16] Tachibana
    Even when not on the bench, you pay close
    attention to every game and cheer the team on.
[16:21] Ashito
    Sorry, but I might not have been doing any
    cheering. Been too busy doing something else.
[16:27] Tachibana
    Huh?
[16:27] Ashito
    Up until now...
[16:30] Ashito
    I used to get sulky and refused to
    watch games I didn't get to play in.
[16:35] Ashito
    Well, it's frustrating, y'know?
[16:38] Ashito
    But this past month,
    I started thinking about vision,
[16:42] Ashito
    and I'm learning a lot by observing
     the game from the sidelines.
[16:46] Ashito
    For real.
[16:49] Ashito
    "What would I do if I were in that position?"
[16:52] Ashito
    "That guy didn't look at the middle.
    What would've happened if he had?"
[16:56] Ashito
    I'm thinking about all these things as
    I watch the game, and time just flies by.
[17:01] Ashito
    So I've got no time to cheer for you.
[17:04] Ashito
    Sorry!
[17:08] Tachibana
    How can I be more like you?
[17:18] Ohtomo
    Hey, Tachibana! Ashito!
[17:21] Ohtomo
    We need some cheering up. Let's go out
    to eat. How about okonomiyaki?
[17:26] Ashito
    Yeah, sounds good!
    You're coming too, right, Tachibana?
[17:32] Ashito
    So which place are we going to?
[17:34] Ohtomo
    Let's see... It's down by Mitaka Station.
    It's called "Musashino's No. 1."
[17:42] Nakano
    The game against Esperion
     Youth is finally here.
[17:46] Nakano
    Tachibana-kun. Ohtomo-kun. Aoi-kun.
[17:52] Nakano
    I wonder how much they've improved.
[17:58] Ohtomo
    You don't want to go to Musashino? What do
     you mean, Tachibana? It's your hometown.
[18:04] Tachibana
    That's exactly why.
    Especially not right now...
[18:07] Ashito
    Y-You can't do this to me, Tachibana.
[18:09] Ashito
    My mind's in full-on okonomiyaki mode, and I can't think about anything else.
[18:16] Tachibana
    Until I become a key player at Esperion,
    I'd rather not go back to my hometown.
[18:20] Togashi
    Oh, gimme a break. You go home
    all the time on your days off.
[18:25] Tachibana
    I visit my grandfather in Sugamo.
    He lives by himself, so I check up on him.
[18:30] Ohtomo
    Wow, aren't you dutiful?
[18:32] Tachibana
    Anyway, that's the promise
     I made to myself.
[18:36] Ashito
    I totally get that you don't wanna go
    home until you feel you've "made it."
[18:40] Ashito
    But we're only going to eat.
[18:42] Togashi
    Enough talk. Let's go!
[18:45] Sign
    For Pedestrians
    and Bicycles Only
[18:46] Ohtomo
    Y'know, Tachibana...
[18:48] Ohtomo
    You can be a little too serious at times.
[18:51] Ohtomo
    Like with the team. When we're on
    a losing streak, you get all depressed.
[18:56] Ohtomo
    I totally don't get it.
[18:59] Tachibana
    The team hasn't been scoring.
[19:01] Tachibana
    As a forward, of course I feel responsible.
[19:04] Togashi
    Ya lost me. I don't give a crap
    so long as I'm playin' all right.
[19:07] Togashi
    'Cause then, even if the team loses,
    someone else is to blame.
[19:11] Togashi
    And if we win, I get the credit.
    Soccer's simple, really.
[19:15] Ohtomo
    I get super nervous before the game, but once
     it's over, it's in the past. I don't worry about it.
[19:24] Tachibana
    And you, Ashito?
[19:26] Ashito
    I...
[19:27] Ashito
    I don't even get to play
     in matches right now...
[19:30] Sign
    For Pedestrians
    and Bicycles Only
[19:31] Ashito
    But I get how you feel, Tachibana.
[19:35] Ashito
    The slight difference is, if I play in a game,
    win or lose, it's my responsibility.
[19:43] Ashito
    I'm the one who makes the
     team win or makes the team lose.
[19:47] Ashito
    Which makes me the greatest, right?
[19:49] Togashi
    Say what?
[19:51] Ashito
    So when we lose, I can't help thinking
    I have to make the team win next time,
[19:55] Ashito
    and I can't wait for the next match to begin.
[19:59] Ohtomo
    Well, different strokes
    for different folks, I guess.
[20:10] Ohtomo
    It's supposed to be right
    by the train station...
[20:13] Togashi
    Hey, Tachibana! We're countin'
    on yer knowledge of the area!
[20:18] Nakano
    Whoa!
[20:25] Ashito
    N-Nakano?
[20:28] Nakano
    Aoi-kun! Ohtomo-kun! Tachibana-kun!
[20:31] Ashito
    Nakano!
[20:32] Ohtomo
    For real? It's been forever!
[20:35] Nakano
    I knew it. I knew it was you!
[20:38] Togashi
    Hey, who the hell's this guy, Ashito?
[20:41] Ashito
    This is Nakano!
[20:42] Ashito
    He's our brother-in-arms
    from the Esperion tryouts!
[20:47] Ohtomo
    Anyway, how you been?
[20:49] Togashi/I
    Huh. So he's one of the ones that didn't pass?
[20:49] Nakano
    I've been good. You guys are looking well, too.
[20:52] Togashi/I
    And he classes him as a "brother-in-arms"?
[20:52] Ashito
    So what are you doing here?
[20:55] Ohtomo
    Yeah, seriously!
[20:56] Ashito
    Your hairstyle's changed so much!
[20:58] Ohtomo
    Those lovely round eyes
    haven't changed though, huh?
[21:00] Ashito
    Oh, yeah, true!
[21:01] Ohtomo
    They're very cute, you know.
[21:04] Tachibana
    N-Nakano, that kit... Why?
[21:11] Nakano
    That's right. I play for Tokyo Musashino
     Soccer Club's youth team now.
[21:17] Ohtomo
    Tachibana's old team?
    What do you mean?
[21:20] Nakano
    After failing the tryouts, I was scouted by
    Manager Satake, who's coaching us right now.
[21:30] Nakano
    Both of us gladly accepted the offer.
[21:33] Ashito
    "Both" of you?
[21:35] Kaneda
    Nakano.
[21:42] Ohtomo
    K-Kaneda?!
[21:43] Ashito
    Wait, you too?
[21:45] Ashito
    You're on the same team as Nakano?
[21:47] Ashito
    That's amazing!
[21:49] Ashito
    Let's catch up over dinner or something!
[21:51] Ashito
    Hey, you look like you've gone up a size.
[21:56] Kaneda
    Get your hands off me!
[22:04] Kaneda
    Aoi, I never expected you to pass.
[22:10] Kaneda
    Those youth tryouts...
[22:15] Kaneda
    I failed because I got
    too cozy with all of you.
[22:20] Kaneda
    I will never forgive you.
[22:27] Ashito
    Kaneda...
