[00:04] Yoshitsune
    The guys at this level are wary of me before
     I even do anything, so playing my game's easy.
[00:10] Ashito
    Yoshitsune-san!
[00:11] Yoshitsune
    Hm?
[00:13] Ashito
    Please don't tell me I shouldn't be like you.
[00:16] Ashito
    I've... fallen in love with how you play.
[00:19] Yoshitsune
    Oh, my.
[00:19] Ashito
    I don't care what ladder I'm climbing.
[00:23] Yoshitsune
    Aoi Mophead-kun.
[00:25] Yoshitsune
    Just this once, I'll let you in on a secret.
[00:27] Yoshitsune
    In my soccer career to date,
[00:30] Yoshitsune
    there's only one player I've ever
     gotten a teensy bit jealous of, hi-yah.
[00:33] Yoshitsune
    Just a teensy bit.
[00:34] Ashito/I
    J-Jealous?!
[00:37] Ashito/I
    When you do that*?!
[00:39] Ashito
    Who?
[00:42] Ashito
    Kuribayashi Spikes-kun.
[00:45] Ashito
    And you kind of remind me of him, hi-yah.
     So you're totally different from me.
[00:50] Ashito
    You think I'm like Kuribayashi?
[00:52] Ashito
    U-Uh, well, I've been trying to imitate how
    Kuribayashi-san plays for the past month.
[00:59] Yoshitsune
    That's right, hi-yah. That's the
    right answer, Kiteretsu, hi-yah.
[01:03] Yoshitsune
    I'm confident I can outscore anyone.
[01:06] Yoshitsune
    But I'm still just one player out of eleven.
[01:09] Yoshitsune
    Kuribayashi's different, though.
[01:11] Yoshitsune
    Man, it makes me sick.
[01:15] Yoshitsune
    Mophead-kun, who reminds me of Kuribayashi...
[01:18] Yoshitsune
    I guess I envy you a teensy bit.
[01:22] Yoshitsune
    Just a teensy bit.
[01:23] Ashito/I
    Envy?
[01:25] Ashito/I
    Someone who plays like
    that is envious of me?
[01:27] Yoshitsune**
    But hearing you've fallen in love
    with how I play makes me feel good.
[01:32] Yoshitsune
    I'll sign an autograph for you
     later, Mophead-kun.
[03:10] Hana
    If they can get the ball to
    Yoshitsune-kun again in the second half,
[03:14] Hana
    shouldn't this be an easy win?
[03:16] Anri
    Maybe. Maybe not.
[03:19] Anri
    On the flip side, if they
    manage to contain Yoshitsune,
[03:22] Anri
    the rest of the team isn't
    playing all that well today.
[03:25] Anri
    After all, their opponents also belong in
    the top tier of the Tokyo Metropolis League.
[03:30] Anri
    They'll likely think the same and
     adjust their tactics accordingly.
[03:34] Anri
    Plus, relying on Yoshitsune might
     not help the B team right now.
[03:39] Anri
    In this situation, they should be thinking about
     how to score without relying on Yoshitsune.
[03:44] Anri
    That will be more beneficial to the team.
[03:47] Hana
    Huh. I see.
[03:51] Hana
    What's wrong?!
[03:53] Kaneko
    My knees gave way.
[03:54] Kaneko
    Who would've guessed such an incredible
    player would be getting a run-out in the B team...
[03:59] Hana
    Yup. Aren't you lucky?
[04:02] Hana
    Take lots of pics and
    write an awesome article.
[04:06] Anri
    Hana-san, you truly... don't know
     anything about soccer, do you?

[04:21] Isshiki
    We all clear? Just get the
    ball to Yoshitsune, all right?
[04:24] Isshiki
    We want to prevent a fifth consecutive loss.
     Who cares if we need to rely on him?
[04:29] Togashi
    Are ya Bobby Robson or
    somethin'? Ya got no tactics.
[04:33] Isshiki
    What?
[04:33] Takeshima
    Anyway!
[04:34] Takeshima
    We defenders will keep
    focusing on defending.
[04:37] Takeshima
    We held out pretty well
    in the first half.
[04:40] Takeshima
    Aoi made some errors, but he's improving.
[04:43] Takeshima
    More importantly, if we don't concede, we win.
[04:46] Takeshima
    So let's keep them out and win!
[04:48] Players
    Yeah!
[04:53] Togashi
    Ashito.
[04:56] Togashi
    I'm goin' on the attack. Relyin' on Yoshitsune
    to win ain't gonna help us in the long run.
[05:03] Togashi
    What're you gonna do?
[05:05] Togashi
    Ya got an itch now after seein'
    Yoshitsune play, ain't ya?
[05:15] Ohtomo/I
    They've changed their system.
[05:18] Ohtomo/I
    It's harder to get the ball*
    to Yoshitsune-san now.
[05:24] (Flashback) Yoshitsune
    You're already climbing the ladder
    you're supposed to on your own.
[05:28] Ashito/I
    I...
[05:30] Ashito/I
    I want to climb the ladder
    you're on, Yoshitsune-san.
[05:35] Ashito/I
    I want to attack. And thanks to
    Yoshitsune-san, there are more spaces.
[05:39] Ashito/I
    I have a chance to score!
[05:43] Ashito/I
    If I attack now...
[05:45] Ashito/I
    I feel like I'm about to
    grasp something great.
[05:47] (Flashback) Yoshitsune
    Fukuda-san often speaks
    highly of you to the A team.
[05:54] Ashito/I
    I'll go back to how I was before.
[06:00] Ashito
    The right wing! There's a space!
[06:03] Ashito/I
    Togashi. He's moving up.
[06:07] Ashito/I
    But that space on the right wing
    looks unusual for some reason.
[06:12] Ashito
    Isshiki-san!
[06:15] Ashito
    The injury he suffered in the first half...
[06:18] Takeshima/I
    I'm not going to let them past me!
[06:20] Takeshima/I
    Togashi? But he can catch up at that speed.
[06:25] Togashi/I
    If Takeshima and I sandwich this guy,
    we can stop him there, but...
[06:29] Togashi/Takeshima
    I will...
[06:29] Togashi/Takeshima
    I will...
[06:47] Kaneko
    Huh? Did both of those defenders
    just shy away from the ball?
[06:53] Ashito
    What the heck was that, you two?!
[06:56] Ashito
    Why didn't you communicate?!
[06:58] Ashito
    All you had to do was use your voices
     and tell the other one your plan!
[07:01] Ashito
    And just now, you purposefully didn't do that!
[07:04] Ashito
    All of us have to defend today.
[07:06] Ashito
    We've got to win today, no matter what!
[07:11] Date
    Tsukishima.
[07:13] Date
    Let's change the system.
[07:17] Takeshima
    Togashi. I need to talk to you after the game.
[07:21] Takeshima
    But for now, if we want to win,
    we've got to give it our all, like Aoi says.
[07:26] Ohtomo
    What are those guys doing?
    I can't believe they made such a basic error.
[07:31] Roan
    The second half just started,
    and the momentum's against us.
[07:37] Ohtomo
    Seems like Isshiki-san can't continue.

[08:15] Tama U 8
    Keep marking Yoshitsune tightly!
[08:18] Tama Players
    Right!
[08:19] Tama U 2/I
    Conceding due to a defensive error.
[08:22] Tama U 2/I
    An enforced change at center-back.
[08:24] Tama U 2/I
    Esperion's defense is falling apart!
[08:27] Tama U 13/I
    We'll press them hard
    and snatch the ball away!
[08:31] Tama U 11
    Wait, hold on a sec!
[08:34] Tama U 11
    They've altered their system on us.

[08:51] (Flashback) Numazu
    Go upfield. You and Togashi fly forward.
    Those are Nozomi-san's instructions.
[08:58] (Flashback) Numazu
    You're still a full-back though,
    so don't forget about defending, okay?
[09:01] (Flashback) Numazu
    Go up, but keep that in mind.
[09:03] (Flashback) Numazu
    Oh, and a message from Nozomi-san:
[09:07] (Flashback) Numazu
    "Attacking from defense
    isn't a whole new ball game."
[09:12] (Flashback) Numazu
    "Take what you've learned defending and
     apply it to attacking." That's what he said.
[09:19] Ashito/I
    I can go upfield?
[09:26] Ashito/I
    I can go upfield and score?
[09:34] Ashito/I
    That makes me so happy! I'm totally stoked!
[09:39] Ashito/I
    But can I really move up, just like that?
[09:42] Ashito/I
    I still have to defend.
[09:45] Ashito/I
    How do I attack while still
    doing my defensive duties?
[09:50] Ashito/I
    I want to go upfield, but...
[09:54] Ashito/I
    Dammit! I don't know how I should be playing!
[09:57] Ohtomo
    Ashito!
[10:01] Ohtomo
    Let's go! Stick with me.
    I could use your support.
[10:05] Ohtomo
    Stay at a distance, but keep up!
[10:09] Ashito/I
    Ohtomo!
[10:19] Ashito/I
    Yoshitsune-san.
[10:28] Tsukishima
    We fully expected this game to be tied.
[10:31] Tsukishima
    The timing was moved up
     due to Isshiki's injury,
[10:35] Tsukishima
    but we always planned to alter the
    system at this point in the match.
[10:39] Tsukishima
    Now it's up to the players to figure
    out how to adapt, right, Nozomi?
[10:46] Tsukishima
    Let's hope they've learned what to do.
[10:53] Tama U 26/I
    Why? Why can't I get the ball?
[10:59] Ashito/I
    I remember this feeling.
[11:02] Ashito/I
    It's just like the Seikyo High match.
[11:07] Ashito/I
    A triangle!
[11:14] Tama U 13/I
    Dammit!
[11:16] Tama U 12
    What are you doing?
    Hurry up and get the ball!
[11:18] Ashito/I
    No, they won't get the ball from us.
[11:21] Ashito/I
    The only difference is
    I'm now in Asari's position.
[11:27] (Flashback) Date
    Take what you've learned
    defending and apply it to attacking.
[11:31] Ashito/I
    Their No. 19's closing in.
[11:34] Ashito
    Ohtomo! Man on! Pass it back!
[11:39] Ashito
    Yoshitsune-san!
[11:49] Ashito/I
    Ohtomo, I'm trusting you to
    know how my mind works.
[11:52] Ashito/I
    I'm hoping you do.
[11:54] Ashito/I
    Here comes my...
[11:56] Ohtomo/I
    A pass? You want to pass, Ashito?
[11:59] Ohtomo/I
    But where to?
[12:01] Ohtomo/I
    I see it!
[12:04] Ashito/I
    I'm in the back.
[12:05] Ashito/I
    And because I'm in the back,
    I can be eyes for the players in front of me!
[12:10] Ashito/I
    Barking instructions to tell 'em what they
    can't see, and guiding them so we score!
[12:19] Hana
    Seeing you enjoy yourself like this...
[12:22] Hana
    ...makes me very happy.
[12:25] Masuko
    The pass got through!
[12:26] Kuwata
    Ohtomo!
[12:28] Myojin
    He's open in prime position!
[12:29] Bench Players
    Go for it!
[12:31] Ohtomo/I
    I can shoot!
[12:32] Ashito
    Don't shoot!
[12:34] Ohtomo/I
    That was close! I didn't see him coming.
[12:37] Ohtomo/I
    But thanks to that, it was like a fakeout.
[12:41] Myojin
    Shoot!
[12:42] Kameyama
    Go for it!
[12:47] Tama U 12
    It's clear!
[12:55] (Flashback) Yoshitsune
    You're not just one player out of eleven.
[12:57] (Flashback) Yoshitsune
    I'm a teensy bit envious.
[13:00] Ashito/I
    Everyone's one player out of eleven
    in a game of soccer, Yoshitsune-san.
[13:05] Ashito/I
    What did he mean by that?
[13:11] Ashito/I
    I have a direct shot at the goal.
[13:13] Ashito/I
    Just like in the Seikyo High match.
[13:16] Ashito/I
    I'm farther away than that time,
    but the shot's still on.
[13:23] Ashito/I
    Tachibana's free.
    And he's in the perfect spot.
[13:27] Ashito/I
    Rather than going for the
    tough shot, I should pass to him.
[13:30] Ashito/I
    No, if I nudge it a little to the right,
[13:34] Ashito/I
    I can avoid the crowd and take the shot!
[13:37] Ashito/I
    I will...
[13:38] (Flashback) Kuribayashi
    Come up with four viable options.
[13:42] (Flashback) Kuribayashi
    And out of those four...
[13:47] Ashito
    Choose one.
[14:07] Kaneko
    A full-back providing the
    assist for another full-back?
[14:10] Kaneko
    You don't see that every day.
[14:15] Sugawara
    Togashi!
[14:17] Ohtomo
    You're the best!
[14:19] Ohtomo
    The ball came in from behind you, but you
    jumped super high on that header! Oh man!
[14:25] Sugawara
    A goal from our full-back, huh?!
[14:28] Ohtomo
    Hey, Ashito! Nice assist, dude!
[14:36] Ashito/I
    I felt Togashi's height gave us
    the best chance of scoring.
[14:41] Tachibana
    A-Ashito...
[14:43] Tachibana
    Nice assist.
[14:46] Ashito
    Why were you spacing out, Tachibana?
[14:51] Ashito
    You were standing in an offside position.
[14:58] Hana/I
    It's happening again.
    He's got that fragile look on his face.
[15:04] (Flashback) Anri
    You truly don't know
    anything about soccer, do you?
[15:09] Hana
    Yup, it's a world I just don't understand.
[15:16] Kaneko
    Oh, hey. Are you leaving?
[15:19] Kaneko
    I just remembered
     I have something for you.
[15:23] Kaneko
    Your photo.
[15:24] Hana
    Photo?
[15:25] Kaneko
    From the last game.
    There are some good ones.
[15:27] Kaneko
    Sorry I didn't get permission.
    It's to say thanks for showing me around.
[15:32] Kaneko
    There are two copies. Give one to Aoi, 'kay?
[15:36] Kaneko
    Thanks!
[15:45] Tsukishima
    What's the deal with that kid?
[15:48] Tsukishima
    I don't know what sets him off,
    but it's like he becomes someone else.
[15:53] Tsukishima
    Improvement is always welcome.
[15:55] Tsukishima
    But as a coach, how much can you even
    calculate when instructing someone like him?
[16:02] Tsukishima
    Nozomi?
[16:07] Fukuda
    "Calculate" isn't the right
     word to use, Tsukishima.
[16:12] Date
    Fukuda.
[16:14] Fukuda
    It's fun because trying to calculate
    stuff doesn't work in youth soccer.
[16:19] Roan
    We're in added time!
[16:20] Masuko
    Hold onto the lead at all costs!
[16:33] Saito
    Just a little longer!
[16:35] Myojin
    You can do it!
[16:47] Ohtomo
    Hell yeah!
[16:49] Shimizu

[16:54] Esperion Players
    All right!
[17:04] Ashito/I
    In the end, my last contribution in this
    game was the assist for Togashi's goal.
[17:22] Date
    The assist was good, but after it, the balance
    between offense and defense was off.
[17:28] Date
    By joining the attack, you racked up the miles
    switching between offense and defense.
[17:34] Date
    You wore yourself out on your own.
[17:36] Ashito
    Right.
[17:38] Ashito/I
    After that assist,
    my mind started to go hazy.
[17:43] Ashito/I
    I don't remember what I did afterwards,
    let alone what happened in the game.
[17:51] Fukuda
    I hear you did well in defense, Ashito.
[17:55] Fukuda
    Nozomi was full of praise for how you barked
    orders and effectively eliminated spaces.
[18:01] Fukuda
    Defense isn't easy.
[18:04] Fukuda
    Compared to offense,
    there are more structural rules,
[18:07] Fukuda
    and you need exceptional
    skills to verbalize them.
[18:11] Fukuda
    But if you're able to bark instructions,
[18:14] Fukuda
    it means you're able to put
     your thoughts into words.
[18:17] Fukuda
    You applied that to your
    attacking and it got you an assist.
[18:21] Fukuda
    Good job, Ashito.
[18:25] (Flashback) Yoshitsune
    Fukuda-san often speaks
    highly of you to the A team.
[18:32] Fukuda
    But tell me one thing:
[18:35] Fukuda
    Why didn't you shoot?
[18:42] Fukuda
    I'm not saying it was a
    good decision or a bad one.
[18:47] Fukuda
    It's just...
[18:49] Fukuda
    I'm wondering why you look like
    you're sulking when we won the game.
[18:55] Ashito/I
    I get it.
[18:56] Ashito/I
    I'm not only frustrated because I couldn't
    play consistently for 90 minutes...
[19:02] Ashito/I
    I want to go back to being a forward,
    and yet, in that moment, I chose to pass.
[19:07] Ashito/I
    I can't explain why I did that myself.
[19:13] Ashito
    But me not shooting worked out
    well for you, didn't it, old man?
[19:17] Ashito
    You branded me a failure as a forward.
[19:22] Fukuda
    Don't doubt yourself when you
    play soccer. That's all I have to say.
[19:27] Ashito/I
    And whose fault is it
    that I'm doubting myself?
[19:30] Fukuda
    Your next opponent's
    Tokyo Musashino, right?
[19:33] Fukuda
    I watched the video.
[19:35] Fukuda
    They're one hell of a team.
[19:38] Fukuda
    You can't beat them as you are now.
[19:40] Fukuda
    But depending on how well
    you do in that match...
[19:44] Fukuda
    I might consider moving
     you up to the A team.
[19:47] Fukuda
    Good luck!
[19:53] Ohtomo
    Ashito!
[19:55] Ohtomo
    We finally won!
[19:57] Ohtomo
    And it's all thanks to your assist!
[20:00] Shimizu
    Yeah! And you did well in defense, Aoi-kun!
[20:04] Isshiki
    Aoi!
[20:07] Ashito
    Isshiki-san! How's the leg?
[20:10] Isshiki
    Don't worry about me. The important thing
     is that we finally got a win.
[20:18] Ashito
    Ow.
[20:20] Isshiki
    Thanks, man.
[20:38] Ashito
    How was that, Hana? My first game
     in a while, but I stormed it!
[20:42] Ashito
    You chose a good day to come cheer me on!
[20:48] Hana
    You did great out there.
[20:50] Ashito
    Well, of course! I knew you were coming.
[20:53] Ashito
    Gotta show my fan the good shiz, y'know?
[20:57] Ashito
    But you showed up late!
[20:59] Ashito
    Next time, be there from kickoff.
[21:01] Ashito
    I'm counting on you, Hana.
[21:04] Kaneko
    Aoi-kun!
[21:05] Kaneko
    I'm Kaneko Aoi from Soccer Every.
    Do you have a minute to talk to me?
[21:08] Ashito
    Wh-What's happening?!
[21:10] Kaneko
    Or I wish I could say that, but I have another
    interview at a different Metro League match.
[21:17] Kaneko
    So I'll give you my business card.
    Let's get together sometime.
[21:21] Hana
    Excuse me, Miss Reporter.
[21:23] Hana
    Are you talking to a player without
    going through the proper channels?
[21:27] Ashito
    A different Metro League match?
[21:30] Kaneko
    Yeah. It's, uh, the Tokyo
    Musashino Youth match.
[21:33] Ashito
    Musashino Youth?
[21:35] Kaneko
    Their sudden improvement's
     got everyone talking—
[21:38] Ohtomo
    Ashito!
[21:40] Ashito
    What's up, Ohtomo?
[21:42] Ohtomo
    Ashito, we've got a problem.
[21:47] (Flashback) Tachibana
    Excuse me.
[21:49] (Flashback) Date
    What is it?
[21:53] (Flashback) Tachibana
    In the next match...
[21:55] (Flashback) Tachibana
    Please don't play me.
[22:00] (Flashback) Tachibana
    My confidence is shot.
[22:06] Ashito
    Don't play him? Tachibana really said that?
[22:10] Ohtomo
    Yeah...
[22:12] Ohtomo
    The next match is against his
    old team, Tokyo Musashino.
[22:19] Ashito
    Ohtomo.
[22:20] Ashito
    Let's go watch their game.
[22:21] Ohtomo
    Huh?
[22:24] Ashito
    We'll take Tachibana with us.
[22:28] Ashito
    We've gotta see what kind of soccer
    they play with our own eyes.
