National Junior High Soccer Tournament.*
**[00:05] ---**
*In an unprecedented twist,
Nankatsu and Toho Academy*
**[00:08] ---**
*managed to tie in what became
a battle of blood, sweat, and tears.*

**[00:16] ---**
*Now eternal rivals, Tsubasa Ozora
and Kojiro Hyuga, stand among the chosen.*
**[00:22] ---**
*The next arena, the world.*
**[00:26] ---**
*New and powerful foes await!*
**[00:40] ---**
Keep it coming.
**[00:45] ---**
Y-You're...
**[00:49] ---**
Karl Heinz Schneider.
**[00:52] ---**
My transfer to Munich is official.
**[00:55] ---**
You're leaving Hamburg?
**[00:58] ---**
What? But this's been
your team from the beginning.
**[01:02] ---**
This team made you who you are.
**[01:05] ---**
The attacker Schneider,
the defender Wakabayashi.
**[01:08] ---**
You two have made Hamburg
an unbeatable junior team.
**[01:13] ---**
Because of you both, we have all the
German and European titles this season.
**[01:20] ---**
You're a traitor to Hamburg.
**[01:24] ---**
It's simple.
Munich has proven they value my skill.
**[01:29] ---**
They'll let me make
my Bundesliga debut next season.
**[01:33] ---**
The where doesn't matter.
I always give it my all.
**[01:37] ---**
The team may change, but I don't.
**[01:41] ---**
My objective is clear.
I will become the strongest.
**[01:46] ---**
I will be number one!
**[01:48] ---**
I will be the best player in the world.
**[01:53] ---**
That happens to be a goal of mine as well.
**[01:58] ---**
How about one last match, Wakabayashi?
**[02:02] ---**
Sounds good to me.
**[02:06] ---**
Outside the penalty area wasn't it?
**[02:08] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:09] ---**
Genzo Wakabayashi, genius goal keeper.
**[02:12] ---**
This season, not a single shot
got past him from outside the penalty.
**[02:19] ---**
Will Schneider be the one
to finally break this streak?
**[02:24] ---**
Hope you're ready, Wakabayashi.
**[02:26] ---**
Bring it.

JUNIOR YOUTH TRAINING CAMP
**[04:33] ---**
It's the third day of camp,
and they're starting to push hard.
**[04:38] ---**
Indeed.
**[04:39] ---**
This European tour
**[04:41] ---**
is not just to test us at the French
International Junior Youth Tournament,
**[04:45] ---**
but also to compete against
next level world players.
**[04:50] ---**
That's right, and we'll need to choose who
our regulars will be for each position.
**[04:56] ---**
Misugi-kun, as coach, I want you
**[04:59] ---**
to see how they move, and figure out who
should be a part of our starting lineup.
**[05:04] ---**
Got it.
**[05:05] ---**
All right, that's enough.
**[05:07] ---**
Yes sir.
**[05:13] ---**
*This team...*
**[05:15] ---**
*We've got our share of great players,
but someone's missing.*
**[05:22] ---**
*Of course, that someone's Tsubasa.*
**[05:26] ---**
*He's a playmaker and he can score.
We'll be unstoppable with him.*
**[05:33] ---**
*I feel it in my bones.*
**[05:38] ---**
-Okay, it's reds vs whites.
*-But Tsubasa is recuperating at home now.*
***SIGN*** OZORA
**[05:43] ---**
*A European tour
seems just too far out of reach.*
**[05:48] ---**
Okay, read the next sentence.
**[05:51] ---**
Disculpe-me de o interromper.
Não há de quê.
**[05:55] ---**
Okay, well done, Tsubasa.
**[05:58] ---**
Phew I'm tired.
**[06:00] ---**
Let's take a break, Carlos.
**[06:03] ---**
No way. Before you know it
you'll be healed up
**[06:06] ---**
and playing soccer
every waking moment again.
**[06:09] ---**
We need to study now while we can.
**[06:13] ---**
Now copy that sentence into your notebook.
**[06:16] ---**
All right.
***SIGN*** YOU HAVE A MESSAGE
ISHIZAKI
**[06:19] ---**
Sorry, Carlos, it's Ishizaki.
**[06:24] ---**
*Tsubasa, the ball is your friend.*
**[06:27] ---**
*We're about to go reds vs whites.*
**[06:29] ---**
*We can't wait until we get to play
with you. We'll be waiting.*
**[06:33] ---**
*Guys, come on, line up.*
**[06:35] ---**
*We're sending this to Tsubasa.*
**[06:37] ---**
*To Tsubasa?*
**[06:39] ---**
*Tsubasa, hurry up and join us.
Hyuga and I are waiting.*
**[06:45] ---**
Matsuyama.
**[06:48] ---**
*When this camp is over,
they're all going on the European tour.*
**[06:52] ---**
*I wish I could be there too.*
**[06:55] ---**
*If I go to Europe, maybe I can see
Misaki and Wakabayashi.*
**[06:59] ---**
You're lucky, Tsubasa.
**[07:02] ---**
You have so many good friends.
**[07:04] ---**
Yeah. We're all friends from grade school.
**[07:09] ---**
The first friend I made
when I moved here was Ishizaki.
**[07:20] ---**
I met Wakabayashi next.
**[07:25] ---**
Soccer brought us all together.
**[07:27] ---**
This is Wakabayashi, right?
He's in Germany right now.
**[07:32] ---**
Yup, he can stop any ball from outside
the penalty area. He's a great goalie.
**[07:38] ---**
Oh, so he's your rival, eh?
**[07:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:45] ---**
There it is! It's Fire Shot
from outside the penalty area.
**[07:51] ---**
*This reminds me of the showdown
Tsubasa and I had at the match.*
**[07:56] ---**
*Until then, I had blocked all shots
from outside the penalty area.*
**[08:01] ---**
*The only one who broke
my no-goal streak was Tsubasa.*
**[08:08] ---**
*And now, Schneider, showdowns with you
always remind me of Tsubasa.*
**[08:20] ---**
It's in.
**[08:22] ---**
Schneider wins.
**[08:24] ---**
So that's 50 wins 50 losses to date.
**[08:29] ---**
You win. Your shots have gotten
even more powerful.
**[08:35] ---**
The ball actually stretched
by my fingertips.
**[08:38] ---**
You're headed to the top one day.
**[08:42] ---**
Let's have a real showdown then,
Wakabayashi.
**[08:48] ---**
When do you leave for Munich?
**[08:50] ---**
After I play one more match for Hamburg.
**[08:56] ---**
You get it right, Wakabayashi?
**[08:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[09:01] ---**
*Mikami promised me.*
**[09:04] ---**
*The first match of the Japan junior team
European tour is with Hamburg.*
**[09:11] ---**
I'll show them how much
I've grown in Germany.
**[09:15] ---**
Hey, Tsubasa,
we came to see how you're doing.
**[09:18] ---**
How's the injury?
**[09:20] ---**
You guys.
**[09:21] ---**
Tsubasa, we brought you this.
**[09:23] ---**
Thanks.
**[09:25] ---**
Kumi is the one who wanted to come visit.
**[09:28] ---**
Aww, come on guys, I'm not that injured.
**[09:32] ---**
Look, my shoulder and foot
are almost better.
**[09:36] ---**
I'm glad there was nothing wrong
with your bones or tendons.
**[09:39] ---**
You played so hard at nationals,
Tsubasa, you're built super tough.
**[09:46] ---**
I guess I've got my parents
to thank for that.
**[09:50] ---**
Tsubasa, I bet you can't wait
to kick a ball.
**[09:53] ---**
You're right. I think maybe I can...
**[09:57] ---**
No, don't push yourself, Tsubasa.
**[09:59] ---**
That's right. Don't move
until you're completely recovered.
**[10:03] ---**
That's right, and in the meantime,
you study Portuguese.
**[10:08] ---**
Oh yeah. Next year at this time,
you'll be in Brazil.
**[10:14] ---**
Yup.
**[10:27] ---**
Coach.
**[10:30] ---**
I came up with a list of regulars.
**[10:33] ---**
Interesting, you and I came up
with almost the same list.
**[10:39] ---**
Using Matsuyama as defender
is a bold move I didn't think of.
**[10:43] ---**
Yes, in doing so,
**[10:46] ---**
you have a solid line with goalie,
defender, midfielder and forward.
**[10:53] ---**
But this only works if Tsubasa can play.
**[10:58] ---**
Correct, and then, there's Genzo.
**[11:02] ---**
You mean Wakabayashi?
**[11:04] ---**
If Genzo in Germany can participate,
then our defense is even stronger.
**[11:16] ---**
What's wrong, Kumi?
**[11:17] ---**
-Sanae...
-Huh?
**[11:19] ---**
I was wondering about you and Tsubasa,
and how you feel about him.
**[11:23] ---**
I really like him.
**[11:29] ---**
At first, I just admired him,
**[11:32] ---**
but then, all of a sudden, I just
sort of began to like him more and more.
**[11:36] ---**
Before he leaves for Brazil,
I'm going to tell him.
**[11:43] ---**
I mean, if you like someone,
you should tell them, right?
**[11:48] ---**
Sorry, I've gotta go.
***SIGN*** NEXT DAY
**[12:00] ---**
Okay, you're playing high schoolers.
**[12:02] ---**
And Mihara Central High
have a reputation as a strong team.
**[12:06] ---**
Go out there and take advantage
of this experience.
**[12:09] ---**
Yes sir!
**[12:10] ---**
All right, let's go.
**[12:12] ---**
Yah!
**[12:13] ---**
All right Japan Junior Youth,
this is your first match.
***SIGN*** JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH PRACTICE MATCH
VS MIHARA CENTRAL HS
**[12:21] ---**
Let's go!
We can't lose to junior high kids.
**[12:34] ---**
As expected, these high schoolers
are proving to be a formidable bunch.
**[12:38] ---**
Indeed. They've dominated the midfield.
**[12:41] ---**
They're not letting us get the ball
to our ace, Hyuga.
**[12:51] ---**
You were right.
**[12:53] ---**
Matsuyama the midfielder has come down
to the defense line and is working hard.
**[12:58] ---**
Yes, I thought his possession skill and
tenacity were well-suited as a defender.
**[13:03] ---**
There.
**[13:04] ---**
Good clear.
**[13:07] ---**
We can't win like this.
**[13:09] ---**
Be patient, come on, Hyuga.
**[13:12] ---**
My responsibility as playmaker for
this match is to get a pass out to you.
**[13:19] ---**
Until then,
stay put in the forward position.
**[13:22] ---**
That's right, we're not going
to just keep getting pushed around.
**[13:25] ---**
Don't forget,
we're bigger than them.
**[13:29] ---**
Aack! Matsuyama!
**[13:30] ---**
Yes! Ishizaki the unpredictable.
**[13:33] ---**
Way to go, Ishizaki.
**[13:36] ---**
Hyuga, it's all yours.
**[13:38] ---**
They're countering, get back.
**[13:42] ---**
*Matsuyama.*
**[13:46] ---**
Hyuga.
**[13:47] ---**
He's finally got the ball.
**[13:52] ---**
*To discover my new goal to go
from ace striker for Toho Academy,*
**[13:58] ---**
*to becoming the ace striker
for the Japan Junior Youth team.*

**[14:16] ---**
He scored! We got the first point.

*We won, Tsubasa.*
**[16:10] ---**
Three to one against high schoolers.
Japan Junior Youth got our first win.
**[16:15] ---**
You know Mihara Central High.
**[16:18] ---**
Wow, they're a well-known team.
That's great.
**[16:21] ---**
They won against a high school team.

Great job, guys.

It's Sanae.
**[16:30] ---**
Oh did we interrupt something?
**[16:32] ---**
*Why?*
**[16:33] ---**
Never mind. Anyway, the midfield
is struggling without you here.
**[16:38] ---**
Tsubasa, it's Takeshi.
**[16:41] ---**
All three points
were scored by Hyuga today.
**[16:44] ---**
It's a hat trick.
You better get on it Tsubasa.
**[16:49] ---**
Hyuga is unstoppable.
**[16:51] ---**
Our camp is in Shizuoka too.
**[16:55] ---**
Once you feel you can walk again,
come and watch us practice.
**[16:58] ---**
Yeah, for sure.
**[17:01] ---**
I'm home.
**[17:03] ---**
I'll catch you later.

**[17:46] ---**
A match against Toho Academy.
**[17:48] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:51] ---**
I think the players
are more nervous than usual.
**[17:55] ---**
If they can't play a good game
against teams of this caliber,
**[17:58] ---**
then we won't be able
to win a single match in Europe.
**[18:07] ---**
Okay go. Let's score this time.
**[18:10] ---**
All right.

position, this wouldn't be happening.

The same goes for you, right?
**[18:40] ---**
Nice catch, Wakashimazu.

*If I was on that pitch...*
**[18:45] ---**
*If I was there...*
**[18:49] ---**
Guys, time to counter.
**[18:51] ---**
Yeah.

Someone cover.
**[18:55] ---**
I've never seen them play,
but I have to say, they're great.
**[18:58] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:59] ---**
Everyone does their job
and they all come together as a team.
**[19:06] ---**
Okay, let's rebuild.
**[19:09] ---**
Okay, here.
**[19:11] ---**
Let's go.

Yeah, great to see you. Misugi.
**[20:56] ---**
Don't you have something for Tsubasa?
**[20:59] ---**
Oh yeah.
**[21:01] ---**
Is this...
**[21:02] ---**
We were all told
to wear whatever we liked,
**[21:06] ---**
but no one wanted to wear number 10.
**[21:10] ---**
But I haven't been to camp,
**[21:14] ---**
and besides Hyuga and Matsuyama
have always worn number 10.
**[21:18] ---**
It's okay.
**[21:19] ---**
We all decided that number 10
representing Japan would be you.
**[21:24] ---**
That's how it is, Tsubasa.
**[21:26] ---**
Hyuga.
**[21:28] ---**
Tsubasa, no one wears number 10 like you.

Y-You guys.
