[00:03] ---
    I give up, Roberto.
[00:06] ---
    I see why you're the number one
    boys team in Brazil.
[00:10] ---
    They're all great players, full of energy.
[00:13] ---
    Thank you very much.
[00:15] ---
    As I recall,
    you have two matches left in France.
[00:19] ---
    Yes.
[00:22] ---
    You're...
[00:24] ---
    Hello.
[00:33] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[00:36] ---
    
[01:56] ---
    EPISODE 13
    A PLEDGE IN THE STARRY SKY
[01:57] ---
    I asked the French soccer federation
    and quickly discovered
[02:00] ---
    the Sao Paulo boys' team
    is on tour in Paris.
[02:07] ---
    You're the famous former forward
    for the Brazilian national team,
[02:11] ---
    the Japanese-Brazilian Roberto Hongo.
[02:14] ---
    I won't let you tell me otherwise again.
[02:18] ---
    I ask that
    you don't tell Tsubasa I'm in Paris.
[02:26] ---
    I lost the right to see him again.
[02:33] ---
    But it's also true that I'm here now
    because of Tsubasa.
[02:38] ---
    I gave up soccer for fear
    of losing my eyesight,
[02:41] ---
    and I drowned my sorrows in alcohol.
[02:44] ---
    Tsubasa's the one who gave me
    the strength to live.
[02:49] ---
    Here I come!
[02:57] ---
    Okay, go!
[03:01] ---
    That ball whirling in the sky...
[03:04] ---
    It gave me the hope to live.
[03:08] ---
    Take that.
[03:11] ---
    Watch out, get out of the way.
[03:18] ---
    He deflected my shot.
[03:36] ---
    Wakabayashi,
    I want you to accept my challenge.
[03:43] ---
    You're... Tsubasa Ozora.
[03:46] ---
    That's right. I'm Tsubasa Ozora.
[03:51] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora.
[03:53] ---
    It was in that instant,
    that the name was etched into my heart.
[03:57] ---
    And...
[04:00] ---
    He's flying.
[04:10] ---
    Go in!
[04:15] ---
    The ball is still alive!
[04:20] ---
    I don't usually like to waste it, but this
    match is worth a bottle of whiskey!
[04:30] ---
    It's him! That man is Roberto Hongo,
    a forward for the Brazilian national team.
[04:37] ---
    Decide who wins...
[04:40] ---
    with this centering!
[04:58] ---
    He did it, it's a goal.
[05:01] ---
    Tsubasa scores off my centering...
[05:04] ---
    We were destined to meet.
[05:07] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora, I'm Roberto Hongo.
[05:12] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[05:14] ---
    Roberto Hongo, I know you well.
[05:18] ---
    I've watched your matches tons of times.
[05:21] ---
    Thank you. Glad to meet you too.
[05:28] ---
    He just whisked the ball away.
[05:47] ---
    Here it comes!
[06:01] ---
    What?
[06:10] ---
    It's in!
[06:12] ---
    Wow!
[06:13] ---
    All right!
[06:14] ---
    What?
[06:16] ---
    Tsubasa?
[06:22] ---
    No way.
[06:23] ---
    What, hey.
[06:31] ---
    Looking good, Tsubasa.
[06:34] ---
    Really?!
[06:35] ---
    Yeah.
[06:39] ---
    All right, again!
[06:53] ---
    Let's go!
[06:58] ---
    It's in!
[07:00] ---
    Wow, amazing!
[07:04] ---
    It's in?
[07:08] ---
    It's in!
[07:11] ---
    Viva, Tsubasa!
[07:19] ---
    You're amazing, Tsubasa.
[07:22] ---
    Ow ow, owww.
[07:28] ---
    I can say I taught Tsubasa
    everything I know.
[07:33] ---
    But most importantly...
[07:35] ---
    Tsubasa.
[07:36] ---
    What, Roberto?
[07:38] ---
    Don't forget.
[07:40] ---
    The ball is your friend.
[07:45] ---
    The ball is waiting for you
    to play with it.
[07:50] ---
    The ball is your friend?
[07:55] ---
    Tsubasa made rapid improvement.
[07:58] ---
    That's why I...
[08:00] ---
    I will personally train Tsubasa to be
    the number one soccer player in the world.
[08:06] ---
    Roberto!
[08:07] ---
    So please let me take Tsubasa to Brazil.
[08:13] ---
    Tsubasa!
[08:15] ---
    Roberto.
[08:17] ---
    Is it true that
    you can't play soccer anymore?
[08:21] ---
    Yeah.
[08:22] ---
    Really? You can't play?
[08:25] ---
    Yeah, I can never stand
    on the pitch again.
[08:34] ---
    Roberto...
[08:36] ---
    Brazil is a soccer nation, right?
[08:39] ---
    That's right. Everyone there
    loves and lives soccer.
[08:46] ---
    Roberto, I'll go to Brazil.
[08:50] ---
    But you didn't take Tsubasa.
[09:01] ---
    He gets by.
[09:05] ---
    Tsubasa has only Meiwa's goal
    ahead of him now.
[09:09] ---
    This means Nankatsu wins!
[09:19] ---
    The ball tears through the net
    and flies high into the sky.
[09:27] ---
    And that whistle
    signals the end of the game.
[09:32] ---
    All right, Tsubasa!
[09:33] ---
    We did it! We won!
[09:36] ---
    We won!
[09:38] ---
    Congratulations Tsubasa.
    I have no other words besides that.
[09:45] ---
    You've grown again this tournament.
[09:50] ---
    You met all kinds of rivals, learned from
    each of them, and took that to win it all.
[09:57] ---
    And just as you promised, you managed
    to become a national champion.
[10:04] ---
    But Tsubasa...
    I can't keep my promise to you.
[10:09] ---
    Winning the tournament
    means Brazil, Roberto.
[10:13] ---
    This is good bye, Tsubasa.
[10:20] ---
    "Dear Tsubasa,
    Forgive me, but I can't..."
[10:25] ---
    I can't take you to Brazil with me.
[10:28] ---
    As you know, my eye condition, that
    the doctors call retinal detachment,
[10:33] ---
    is keeping me from playing soccer again.
[10:36] ---
    For someone like me who lives for soccer,
    the shock was too great.
[10:42] ---
    But the person who gave me
    a reason to live...
[10:45] ---
    was you, Tsubasa.
[10:49] ---
    Your soccer genius and talent
    captivated me,
[10:52] ---
    and I wanted to train you to be
    the best soccer player in the world.
[10:57] ---
    But Tsubasa,
[10:59] ---
    I can't take you to Brazil after all.
[11:03] ---
    If I do, I'll be breaking up the Ozoras,
[11:08] ---
    and families should stay together.
[11:13] ---
    But the real reason
    I can't take you lies with me.
[11:18] ---
    No matter the reason, I still quit, and as
    a soccer player, that makes me a loser.
[11:26] ---
    I can't teach someone who's just beginning
    their true soccer life.
[11:47] ---
    Roberto...
[11:52] ---
    Roberto!
[11:55] ---
    Roberto!
[12:02] ---
    Roberto...
[12:04] ---
    Why?
[12:08] ---
    Why did you go by yourself?
[12:10] ---
    Roberto!!
[12:15] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[12:18] ---
    
[12:20] ---
    BIRTH DATE SEPTEMBER 7 / HEIGHT 180 CM
    WEIGHT 75 KG / BLOOD TYPE O
[12:24] ---
    Just as I thought, even without me,
    Tsubasa has made progress.
[12:29] ---
    He really is a genius.
[12:33] ---
    Early this year, my friends were all
    worked up over a soccer video from Japan.
[12:40] ---
    This kid's amazing.
[12:42] ---
    Yeah, he's head and shoulders
    above the others.
[12:47] ---
    Roberto, you came at the perfect time.
[12:49] ---
    It's Japan Under 15,
    and he's something else.
[12:59] ---
    I found it by chance the other day.
[13:02] ---
    I looked him up, and his dream is
    to become a professional in Brazil.
[13:07] ---
    I couldn't hold back the tears.
[13:13] ---
    And yesterday, seeing Tsubasa
    even more skilled and impressive...
[13:19] ---
    But Roberto...
[13:21] ---
    Tsubasa has other ideas
    as to why you didn't take him to Brazil.
[13:28] ---
    He thinks it's because
    he wasn't good enough.
[13:32] ---
    He believes if he had all the skills he
    needed to become a professional in Brazil,
[13:36] ---
    then you would've taken him.
[13:41] ---
    So he went on to set himself a goal.
[13:44] ---
    To be successful
    in the soccer nation of Brazil,
[13:47] ---
    he said he couldn't lose to anyone
    in his three years in middle school.
[13:52] ---
    He told himself
    that if he couldn't do that,
[13:54] ---
    then he wasn't good enough
    to become a professional in Brazil.
[14:00] ---
    Following the notebook you left behind...
[14:08] ---
    Tsubasa worked harder than anyone.
[14:16] ---
    And...
[14:18] ---
    this summer,
    Tsubasa managed to pull off that goal.
[14:25] ---
    In his three years in middle school,
[14:27] ---
    he didn't lose to anyone
    in an official match.
[14:33] ---
    Having achieved three victories in Japan,
[14:37] ---
    Tsubasa will no doubt move to Brazil
    after graduating middle school.
[14:41] ---
    Please.
[14:43] ---
    Tsubasa is going to go to Brazil and
    is hoping to be coached by you, Roberto.
[14:48] ---
    This time, make Tsubasa's dream come true.
[14:57] ---
    Argentina in a decisive win!
[15:06] ---
    It's 5-0 against Italy!
[15:10] ---
    Th-This...
[15:13] ---
    We struggled so much against them.
[15:17] ---
    Even if Hernandez isn't playing, still...
[15:25] ---
    A master player has emerged in this first
[15:29] ---
    International Junior Youth
    Tournament in France.
[15:31] ---
    Surpassing even Schneider of Germany,
    scoring five points by himself.
[15:35] ---
    Juan...
[15:36] ---
    ...Diaz.
[15:38] ---
    And not only did he score...
[15:41] ---
    as a midfielder,
    he holds the game together.
[15:45] ---
    And for Argentinian soccer,
    the guy born to play soccer,
[15:48] ---
    a gifted player who comes along
    every 100 years is Juan Diaz!
[15:52] ---
    We're interviewing Juan now.
[15:54] ---
    In the Japan and Italy match,
    did you see Japan's Number 10
[15:58] ---
    getting through Italy with that
    South-American dribbling style?
[16:02] ---
    When I saw that,
    I thought I could do it too.
[16:05] ---
    Well, the reason I could score five points
[16:08] ---
    is because the goalie was different
    from the Japan match.
[16:18] ---
    I couldn't go up against Hernandez today,
[16:22] ---
    but I'm really looking forward to playing
    against Japan's Number 10.
[16:29] ---
    Tsubasa.
[16:31] ---
    Juan Diaz.
[16:35] ---
    NANKATSU, SHIZUOKA
[16:49] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
[16:51] ---
    The Italy match again?
[16:52] ---
    Yeah.
[16:54] ---
    I guess you'd want to watch it
    over and over again.
[16:57] ---
    Well, Misaki is playing, too.
[16:59] ---
    Have you told him
    you're watching the matches?
[17:03] ---
    Yeah.
[17:04] ---
    What does he say?
[17:06] ---
    Oh nothing really.
    Just thanks for the support.
[17:10] ---
    That's... That's just like him.
[17:13] ---
    Is the next one with Argentina?
[17:16] ---
    Yeah, I think they're really good.
[17:20] ---
    You don't look at all worried.
[17:23] ---
    It'll be fine,
[17:24] ---
    Tsubasa will win!
[17:31] ---
    Coach Mikami.
[17:34] ---
    Can I have a statement about your
    projections for the Argentina match?
[17:39] ---
    Well, I'm not sure about projections...
[17:44] ---
    Coach!
[17:47] ---
    They're all gone!
[17:48] ---
    Huh? Gone?
[17:50] ---
    None of the players are in their rooms.
[17:53] ---
    What?!
[18:06] ---
    Juan Diaz from Argentina.
[18:09] ---
    Just like Tsubasa says,
    the world is a big place.
[18:12] ---
    We meet amazing new players every day.
[18:15] ---
    We only knew Japan, so we really were
    big fish in a small pond.
[18:19] ---
    Yeah. Coming to Europe, the home
    of soccer, really taught me that.
[18:27] ---
    The first match of our tour
    against Hamburg.
[18:31] ---
    It made me realize just how lacking
    our skills were in that match.
[18:37] ---
    Karl Heinz Schneider.
[18:42] ---
    It really hit home that there are some
    amazing guys out there in the world.
[18:46] ---
    It really blew our idea that we could win
    without Tsubasa to smithereens.
[18:53] ---
    And then, the second match with Bremen.
[18:55] ---
    With Schester controlling the midfield,
    we couldn't do anything.
[19:00] ---
    But that loss is what got you all working.
[19:05] ---
    Misugi.
[19:07] ---
    We've come this far,
    and it's too late to turn back.
[19:11] ---
    Hyuga.
[19:13] ---
    We've already started running.
[19:16] ---
    That's right and our goal is the world.
[19:19] ---
    We can't turn back.
[19:23] ---
    With Tsubasa at the center,
    we were competing against each other.
[19:26] ---
    But now we've come together as a team.
[19:28] ---
    No matter how hard it gets,
    this team can rise above it.
[19:32] ---
    We can beat the world!
[19:34] ---
    Yeah!
[19:36] ---
    On this night, everyone's dreams
    and goals became one.
[19:41] ---
    Tsubasa's long-held childhood dream,
[19:44] ---
    which was the much bigger goal of Japan
    winning and standing at the world's top.
[19:50] ---
    Tsubasa had found good friends who would
    dream and work toward that goal with him.
[19:56] ---
    It made him happy.
[20:00] ---
    So that Japan can be number one
    in the world.
[20:04] ---
    Let's win this tournament, guys.
[20:08] ---
    All right!
[20:09] ---
    There's no shortage of amazing players,
    but our eyes are on a tournament win!
[20:14] ---
    Yeah. The final is against Germany.
    We have a lot of paying back to do.
[20:18] ---
    Tsubasa, to get there,
    we start with the Argentina match.
[20:22] ---
    It'll be decided on whether you or Diaz
    control the midfield.
[20:28] ---
    It's a showdown
    with the genius Juan Diaz, Tsubasa.
[20:35] ---
    Where have they gone? It's so late.
[20:40] ---
    Coach!
[20:48] ---
    Everyone.
[20:49] ---
    What happened?
[20:51] ---
    Coach, we're going to win tomorrow too!
[20:55] ---
    It's about time we showed off the results
    of our hard work.
[20:59] ---
    You just have to wait and see, right?
[21:02] ---
    That's right.
[21:03] ---
    If we beat Argentina, we're in the finals.
[21:06] ---
    And in the end,
    we'll beat Germany and win the tournament.
[21:11] ---
    Let's do that, Coach.
[21:28] ---
    Cannon Shot!
[21:37] ---
    All right.
[21:40] ---
    Napoleon of France follows
    Schneider of Germany
[21:44] ---
    to his second hat trick in two matches.
[21:47] ---
    Today, France beat Costa Rica in the first
    match and earned a ticket to the finals.
[21:55] ---
    And to decide the final slot,
[21:59] ---
    the match between Japan and Argentina
    is about to begin.
[23:44] ---
