[00:01] Fukuda
    Except for the goalie, everyone's playing
    a position they've never played before.
[00:07] Fukuda
    Okay, you've got ten minutes left.
    Give it everything you've got.
[00:11] Nakano
    What the hell...
[00:15] Nakano
    You've gotta be kidding.
[00:22] Nakano
    They're playing in unfamiliar positions...
    and they're still walking all over us?
[00:28] Nakano
    They're high school first-years...
    Just one year above us...
[00:34] Nakano
    So what does that say?
[00:37] Nakano
    You want us to be like them in a year?
[00:40] Nakano
    Impossible.
[00:42] Nakano
    There's absolutely no way.
[00:48] Ashito
    Thinking about it...
[00:51] Ashito
    How did Shun save up all
    that money he gave me?
[02:43] Ashito
    It still hurts where Akutsu ran into me.
[02:50] Ashito
    My legs are spent, too.
[02:53] (Flashback) Ashito
    Thanks, Mom!
[02:56] (Flashback) Ashito
    Now I can keep playing
     soccer in junior high!
[02:59] (Flashback) Noriko
    I didn't realize how expensive cleats were...
[03:02] (Flashback) Ashito
    Don't worry!
[03:03] (Flashback) Ashito
    I'll pay you back tenfold!
[03:05] (Flashback) Ashito
    I'll become a world-class pro player
    so you can live a life of luxury, Mom!
[03:10] (Flashback) Akutsu
    What a pity.
[03:13] (Flashback) Akutsu
    The people around you.
[03:16] Ashito
    Dammit.
[03:19] Ashito
    Is this it?
[03:21] Ashito
    Is this... as far as I go?
[03:26] Emi
    All the candidates seem to
    have lost their fighting spirit.
[03:30] Male Supporter A
    It's not just that the other team's
    way too strong for them.
[03:33] Male Supporter A
    Finding out they're all playing out
     of position was a real gut punch.
[03:38] Male Supporter A
    What the heck is their manager thinking?
[03:43] Tachibana
    Kaneda!
[03:44] Tachibana
    What are you doing?! Run!
[03:46] Tachibana
    Kaneda!
[03:53] Nakano
    How? How'd you get the ball to stop right
     there as if you'd told it to and it obeyed?
[04:01] Nakano
    Their fundamental skills are
    at a level that's way above ours.
[04:10] Nakano
    Their skill at translating their vision
    of soccer to the field is phenomenal.
[04:15] Nakano
    I'm pathetic.
[04:16] Nakano
    I... I simply...
[04:20] Nakano
    ...have no talent at all!

[04:39] Ashito
    I wanna go home and soak in the bath.
[04:42] Ashito
    I just wanna play regular soccer
    with my friends at home.
[04:48] Ashito
    I mean, what can I really do here?
[04:52] Akutsu
    What are you, a shambling zombie?
[05:01] Ashito
    I'm done.
[05:04] Ashito
    I did everything I could today, didn't I?
[05:08] Ashito
    So I'll just...
[05:17] Fukuda
    You giving up?
[05:22] Ashito
    Giving up... on what?
[05:26] Ashito
    I give up!
[05:28] Shun
    Oh, you're home, Ashito.
[05:32] Ashito
    I failed. But what can you do, huh?
[05:34] Shun
    So what are you gonna do now?
[05:37] Ashito
    Ah, I'll just play soccer like everyone else.
[05:40] Shun
    I see.
[05:42] Ashito
    But not as a pro. As long as
    I get to play regular old soccer...
[06:11] Ohtomo
    Wow! Nice clearing!
[06:16] Ashito
    Who said I'm giving up?!
[06:27] Shun
    The average annual income for a J2 player is
     about the same as a regular office worker's.
[06:32] Noriko
    I-I was just curious!
[06:35] Noriko
    Plus, it's unlikely Ashito
     will get signed, right?
[06:39] Shun
    Yeah, that's true.
[06:41] Shun
    Tokyo City Esperion is basically the
    model of what a soccer club should be.

SIGN    Tokyo City Esperion FC Youth
    Tryouts Details
SIGN    The tryouts are July 15th
SIGN    The registration fee is 3,000 yen
[06:47] Shun
    They have a few select
    elite players and staff,
[06:50] Shun
    but their top players came
     through their youth setup.
[06:53] Noriko
    So they're a top club, huh?
[06:55] Shun
    Normally, Ashito wouldn't stand a chance.
[06:59] Shun
    And if he doesn't get signed,
    you don't have to worry about it.
[07:03] Shun
    Right?
[07:07] Noriko
    I don't really like that outcome, either.
[07:12] Shun
    Do your best, Ashito. Be true
    to who you are to the very end.
[07:16] Ashito
    Have it!
[07:19] Ashito
    I cleared that second
    corner kick to safety!
[07:22] Ashito
    Nice play, me!
[07:25] Ohtomo
    You're praising yourself?
[07:35] Ashito**
    I won't think about anything
    other than this match.
[07:38] Ashito
    That's not who I am.
[07:40] Ashito
    If the other team's too strong, that's
    all the more reason to play my own game.
[07:45] Sekiya
    Th-That No. 10 sure is something.
[07:48] Sekiya
    He still has the strength to run.
[08:23] Hana
    It's not just in this game...
    You've been doing great all day.
[08:27] Hana
    Keep it up.
[08:30] Ashito
    The old man's little sis is real kind.
[08:34] Male Supporter A
    Okay! Less than three minutes to go!
[08:36] Male Supporter A
    Candidates, give it your all!
[08:38] Ashito
    Got it!
[08:40] Ashito
    Tachibana, stick by me!
[08:42] Ashito
    Maybe we can break through down the wing.
[08:46] Tachibana
    Aoi Ashito.
[08:47] Tachibana
    Honestly, he's not that good.
[08:50] Tachibana
    But he's tough, and it gives you courage.
[08:53] Tachibana
    Or maybe... that's just me.
[09:01] Sign
    Gotcha.
[09:01] Sign
    I'm off to the tryouts now.
    Thanks for letting me do this.
[09:01] Sign
    No worries.
[09:01] Sign
    Do your best.
[09:01] Sign
    I will.
[09:01] Sign
    I'm moving on to the final stage.
[09:01] Sign
    Good luck, Tachibana.
[09:01] Sign
    All of us on the team know
    how serious you are about this.
[09:02] Tachibana
    I...
[09:04] Sign (Close Up)
    Give it everything you've got.
[09:04] Tachibana
    ...won't give up.
[09:06] Tachibana
    I've come this far at the
    expense of my home team.
[09:10] Tachibana
    How can I possibly give up now?!
[09:14] Ashito**
    Foul! Handball!
[09:16] Ashito
    Awesome! The perfect spot!
[09:18] Yuma
    Aw, man.
[09:19] Takasugi
    What are you doing, Yuma?
[09:22] Yuma
    Full back's a tough position, ain't it?
[09:28] Ohtomo
    Aoi! Tachibana!
[09:30] Ohtomo
    Can I take the free kick?
[09:37] Ohtomo
    Right.
[09:38] Ashito
    Hey, Ohtomo. You're kinda...
[09:41] Ohtomo
    Hm?
[09:42] Ashito
    Well, you're totally different
     before a game and during it.
[09:48] Ohtomo
    Yeah, I get real nervous before a game,
    thinking about what might happen.
[09:52] Ohtomo
    But once that whistle blows,
     I'm able to calm down and focus.
[09:57] Ashito
    That's a pretty extreme mood shift.
     How are you able to do that?
[10:00] Ohtomo
    Well, it's probably because...
[10:05] Ohtomo
    I like soccer, y'know?
[10:10] Ashito
    We don't have much time left.
[10:13] (Flashback) Hana
    My all-time favorite player said he
    never stopped thinking about soccer.
[10:19] (Flashback) Hana
    Good luck.
[10:21] (Flashback) Hana
    "A man is but a thinking reed."
[10:24] Ashito
    That's it. I need to think.
[10:27] Ashito
    With the limited time we have left,
    what should my final play look like?
[10:35] Ashito
    Calm down and think.
[10:42] Ohtomo
    It's going in! I can feel it!
[10:45] Ohtomo
    H-How high can that guy jump?!
[10:48] Akutsu
    Push up! Let's go!
[10:50] Ohtomo
    O-Oh no! They're counterattacking!
[10:53] Ohtomo
    Aoi, let's get back—
[10:54] Ohtomo
    Huh?
[11:00] Ashito
    Give me...
[11:01] Asari
    Huh?
[11:02] Ashito
    ...the ball!
[11:05] Hana
    Ah! He miscontrolled it?
[11:09] Akutsu
    Asari! One-touch passing it all the way to
     the goal should've been a piece of cake!
[11:15] Akutsu
    What the hell? What's the
    deal with this Aoi guy?
[11:19] Akutsu
    He tracks back so fast.
[11:23] Akutsu
    He was standing in front of
    the goal, next to the kicker.
[11:28] Akutsu
    He must've started running the moment
    I cleared the ball to cover that distance.
[11:36] Akutsu
    Even if that's what he did, it doesn't
    explain how he knew to run toward Asari.
[11:43] Akutsu
    How did he know the ball would go to him?
[11:46] Asari
    Dammit.
[11:47] Ashito
    Aw, man!
[11:48] Male Supporter A
    He finally caught up to him, but...
[11:50] Ashito
    If they get the ball deep into our half...
[11:54] Ashito
    ...we'll be outta time!
[11:57] Ashito
    Is this it?!
[12:00] Ashito
    Nakano!
[12:01] Nakano
    Aoi-kun...
[12:04] Nakano
    You can still run around like that?
    You really are something else.
[12:09] Nakano
    I wish I could keep going,
    too, but I'm no good.
[12:14] Nakano
    I've lost my fighting spirit.
[12:20] Nakano
    This is it for me.
[12:23] Asari
    Dammit!
[12:24] Nakano
    If we can just get one goal...
[12:52] Midori
    He went out wide?
[12:53] Male Supporter A
    Send it back! They're gonna swamp you!
[12:58] Akutsu
    Idiots! Stay back!
[13:02] Ashito
    Close in.
[13:06] Fukuda
    The other wing.
[13:08] Hana
    It got through!
[13:10] Fukuda
    The No. 5, their attacking mid,
    drifted out to the right?
[13:14] Fukuda
    Did he go out there by choice
    to fill in for the immobile No. 8?
[13:19] Tashibana
    Now's the moment. Shoot!
[13:23] Ashito
    Close in.
[13:31] Male Spectator A
    He's totally free!
[13:34] Ohtomo
    Get in!
[13:44] Akutsu
    Clear it! If we do, the game ends!
[13:48] Ashito
    Close in.
[13:52] Akutsu
    Wh-What on earth are you doing there?!
[13:57] Ashito**
    I have to close in.
[14:31] Fukuda
    Nice goal.
[14:32] Fukuda
    Soccer's all about what you do off
    the ball, when it's not at your feet.
[14:38] Fukuda
    It was an exemplary attack that showed
    how to do it with just three players.
[14:42] Fukuda
    And he was the one pulling the strings.
[14:46] Fukuda
    Aoi Ashito...
[14:49] Fukuda
    He sure is something.
[15:12] Tsukishima
    Next person, please. Aoi-kun.
[15:15] Benzen
    This is the final interview,
    but the questions will be simple.
[15:19] Benzen
    You don't have to think too much.
    Just say whatever comes into your head.
[15:25] Fukuda
    So, what did you think of our youth team?
[15:28] Ashito
    They're strong.
[15:29] Ashito
    No, "strong" doesn't cover it.
[15:31] Ashito
    Aside from that last goal,
    I couldn't do a thing.
[15:35] Ashito
    Them playing out of position was a shock,
[15:38] Ashito
    but it was more than that.
[15:40] Ashito
    It was like they had everything I wanted,
     but had given up in playing soccer.
[15:51] Ashito
    Oh, yeah. By the way, old man,
    why'd you make 'em all play out of position?
[15:57] Ashito
    It wasn't just to handicap them, right?
[16:01] Fukuda
    Are you asking me a question?
[16:02] Ashito
    Yes.
[16:06] Fukuda
    First off, it's part of their training.
[16:10] Fukuda
    A week ago, I told them they'd
    be playing the tryout candidates,
[16:13] Fukuda
    and that I expected them to trounce you guys
     despite all of them playing out of position.
[16:19] Fukuda
    It must've put them under a lot of pressure.
[16:23] Fukuda
    This last week, they've been thinking
     it over and discussing it at length.
[16:28] Fukuda
    They'd never put so much thought into
    positions that weren't their own before.
[16:33] Fukuda
    But the real end goal was to find
    out more about the candidates.
[16:39] Fukuda
    And answer questions like: "How do
    they react when backed into a corner?"
[16:44] Fukuda
    We needed to know about
    your mental strength.
[16:48] Ashito
    Mental strength?
[16:50] Fukuda
    It's the most important trait for J-Youth.
[16:54] Date
    Fukuda.
[16:55] Date
    Ask him about the goal.
[16:57] Fukuda
    Ask him yourself.
[17:00] Fukuda
    Fine. What was going through your mind
     in the run-up to that last goal? Tell us.
[17:06] Ashito
    I don't really remember...
[17:10] Ashito
    I'm not totally sure how I pulled it off.
[17:14] (Flashback) Hana
    "A man is but a thinking reed."
[17:17] Ashito
    Oh, but I was thinking. Or at least,
    trying to think, out there on the field.
[17:24] Ashito
    That's when it hit me
    that I should go to the left.
[17:28] Fukuda
    Did you see something?
[17:30] Ashito
    Um...
[17:32] Ashito
    Yeah, I did. I saw Ohtomo running
    towards the goal out the corner of my eye.
[17:38] Ashito
    I felt like Ohtomo knew
    what I was trying to do,
[17:42] Ashito
    even though I wasn't sure myself.
[17:46] Ashito
    Then, I closed in on the goal,
    just in case Ohtomo missed...
[17:54] Fukuda
    Excellent. He is able to verbalize it.
[17:56] Fukuda
    What else did you think about?
[17:59] Ashito
    My mom and my brother.
[18:01] Fukuda
    Huh?
[18:03] Ashito
    I was thinking about my mom and my brother.
[18:06] Ashito
    I was able to score thanks to them.
[18:11] Ashito
    Up till today, I've only ever played
     soccer the way I like to play.
[18:16] Ashito
    I took it for granted that I'd go pro without
     considering what that actually entails.
[18:22] Ashito
    I've caused them nothing but trouble,
    so I need to pay them back somehow.
[18:29] Ashito
    And all I've got is soccer. So to
    pay them back, I have to go pro.
[18:33] Ashito
    That's what I realized after seeing the
    grit of all those guys striving to go pro.
[18:39] Ashito
    Thank you, old man Fukuda.
[18:42] Ashito
    For bringing me here.
[18:45] Ashito
    Whether I pass these tryouts or not...
[18:48] Ashito
    I'm definitely gonna
     become a pro player!
[19:01] Kogure
    But man, Ashito, you're something else.
[19:04] Kogure
    You're the only one who scored
    against the youth team, right?
[19:08] Ashito
    That's so true.
[19:10] Ashito
    See? I might really get signed!
[19:13] Ashito
    I am a genius, after all!
[19:16] Nanami
    But if you don't hear from them,
    it means you didn't get in, correct?
[19:25] Sawa
    They said it'd take three weeks, right?
     So you hear back soon.
[19:33] Nanami
    And if you do get in, what are you gonna do?
[19:37] Nanami
    Will you really move to Tokyo?
[19:40] Noriko
    Okay, Shun.
[19:42] Noriko
    I'm heading home to rest up
    until my night shift.
[19:45] Shun
    Right.
[19:47] Noriko
    And you guys...
[19:48] Noriko
    I'll give you a discount on the shaved ice,
    so tell your dads to come drink at my bar, 'kay?
[19:52] Kids
    Yes, ma'am!
[19:56] Ashito
    Mom hasn't said a word about me going to
    Tokyo for the tryouts without telling her.
[20:02] Shun
    Ashito.
[20:04] Shun
    You pretend you don't care about the outcome,
     but I know you haven't been sleeping well.
[20:09] Ashito
    Well, I mean...
[20:11] Ashito
    I guess I do care about it...
[20:14] Ashito
    But I did everything I could, and I've
    mentally prepared myself in case I failed.
[20:18] Ashito
    And even if I do pass, there's no way
    I can move to Tokyo by myself.
[20:28] Ashito
    But even so... I want to pass.
[20:32] Ashito
    I wanna get signed.
[20:41] Nanami
    Hey, Ashito, what's that
    sticking out of your pocket?
[20:45] Nanami
    A letter?
[20:46] Ashito
    Oh, this?
[20:50] Ashito
    I got this from...
[20:55] (Flashback) Hana
    Don't read it till you're back in Ehime.
[20:57] (Flashback) Hana
    Promise me you won't!
[21:02] Kogure
    W-Wait a second!
[21:03] Utsunomiya
    The manager's sister?
[21:05] Taniguchi
    She wrote you a love letter?!
[21:07] Ashito
    N-No! It's not like that!
[21:09] Ashito
    It doesn't really make sense, anyways...
