[00:14] ---
    Here I come!
[00:19] ---
    -Diaz!
    -Yo!
[00:24] ---
    Hey! Somebody help!
[00:26] ---
    Stop! Please help!
[00:28] ---
    Pascal.
[00:29] ---
    Okay, Diaz.
[00:31] ---
    Here.
[00:45] ---
    Nice shot.
[00:58] ---

[02:19] ---
    EPISODE 14
    NEVER GIVE UP
[02:24] ---
    FRANCE URUGUAY GERMANY
[02:26] ---
    From group A to C, Germany, Uruguay,
    and France are going to the finals.
[02:34] ---
    That leaves us in group D.
[02:36] ---
    Italy's lost twice
    and won't be going beyond the prelims.
[02:40] ---
    For this match with Argentina,
[02:42] ---
    Argentina could go on to the finals even
    with a draw because they made more goals,
[02:47] ---
    but we need a win.
[02:50] ---
    Let's win this,
    and let's make it to the finals.
[02:54] ---
    -Let's do this.
    -Let's show 'em what we got.
[02:59] ---
    Let's go, guys.
[03:01] ---
    Let's win a place in the finals.
[03:03] ---
    Yeah!
[03:05] ---
    Tsubasa.
[03:07] ---
    A fateful match is about to begin.
[03:11] ---
    For Japan, their current points
    means a draw just won't do it.

[03:13] ---
    JAPAN VS. ARGENTINA
[03:15] ---
    They need to win against
    formidable Argentina

[03:17] ---
    if they want to make it to the finals.
[03:20] ---
    The key is keeping in check the man
[03:22] ---
    who has earned five points off Italy,
    that Argentine national treasure,

[03:25] ---
    the player some call
    the best in a century, the Juan Diaz.

[03:30] ---
    And the very man to handle
    the challenge is another player,

[03:33] ---
    a midfielder as well,
    Japan's very own soccer genius, Tsubasa.

[03:37] ---
    All hopes of containing the Juan Diaz
    rests on his shoulders.

[03:41] ---
    Get ready for genius versus genius.
[03:44] ---
    The action is about to begin.
[03:47] ---
    I never thought Japan would beat Italy.
[03:50] ---
    Amazing they got two points off Hernandez.
[03:53] ---
    I guess the soccer in Asia has improved.
[03:57] ---
    Now you know what Japan's all about.
[03:59] ---
    But they won't win against Argentina.
[04:02] ---
    They have the genius Juan Diaz.
[04:04] ---
    It's really too bad that
    Japan won't make it to top four.
[04:08] ---
    What? Japan is going to come out
    on top again today.
[04:11] ---
    You don't know what you're talking about.
[04:13] ---
    Hey, Azumi.
[04:19] ---
    And it looks like Japan has won
    the coin toss and has possession.

[04:23] ---
    Hey, Number 10 of Japan.
[04:26] ---
    I know about those South-American tricks
    you learned from Roberto Hongo.
[04:29] ---
    I'm looking forward to our match today.
[04:32] ---
    What?
[04:34] ---
    Roberto Hongo? Wait...
[04:38] ---
    Do you know Roberto?
[04:39] ---
    He's a friend of our coach.
[04:42] ---
    He was in the locker room today, too.
[04:44] ---
    Today?
[04:45] ---
    All right, the match is starting.
[04:51] ---
    What's wrong, Tsubasa?
[04:53] ---
    Roberto is...
[04:55] ---
    What?
[04:56] ---
    Roberto is at this stadium.
[05:03] ---
    And the match begins.
[05:06] ---
    Finalists Germany and Uruguay,
    together with France,

[05:10] ---
    the future competitors of today's winners,
    are all intently watching from the stands.

[05:17] ---
    Let's go.
[05:18] ---
    Yeah!
[05:20] ---
    Team Japan has to win this match,
[05:23] ---
    and they're going after
    the first point aggressively.

[05:25] ---
    Tsubasa.
[05:27] ---
    The ball goes to playmaker Tsubasa Ozora.
[05:30] ---
    Roberto is watching from the stands.
[05:34] ---
    Tsubasa, watch out.
[05:36] ---
    You know daydreaming in the middle
    of a match isn't such a great idea.
[05:40] ---
    All right.
[05:41] ---
    What?
[05:42] ---
    Diaz read Tsubasa's play
    and takes the ball midair.

[05:48] ---
    What judgement by the genius Juan Diaz.
[05:51] ---
    All right, let's go, Pascal.
[05:54] ---
    Yeah, we're not after a draw.
[05:57] ---
    We're going into the finals
    with a perfect win!
[06:01] ---
    And we'll win the tournament
    with a perfect record.
[06:05] ---
    -Bring it!
    -Come on!
[06:07] ---
    It's starting.
[06:09] ---
    It tripped up Italy's defense...
[06:12] ---
    That constantly changing combo play.
[06:19] ---
    What?
[06:20] ---
    A skilled one-two in a tight area.
[06:23] ---
    Pascal.
[06:24] ---
    Diaz.
[06:27] ---
    Until we got scouted
    by our local club team,

[06:31] ---
    we didn't even have money to buy a ball.
[06:33] ---
    We kicked around just about anything.
[06:38] ---
    But that's what helped develop
    our combination play.

[06:41] ---
    No way anyone can stop it.
[06:43] ---
    Two little guys! I'll stop 'em.
[06:47] ---
    The colossal Jito goes to stop
    two players of smaller stature.

[06:52] ---
    Diaz with a back pass.
[06:54] ---
    He gets it from right under Jito.
[06:56] ---
    What?
[07:01] ---
    Nice, Pascal.
[07:03] ---
    Here.
[07:04] ---
    The ball goes back to Diaz.
[07:07] ---
    I'll stop it.
[07:09] ---
    Go for it, Matsuyama.
[07:11] ---
    Matsuyama goes feet first.
[07:15] ---
    Diaz, jumps.
[07:18] ---
    What?
[07:19] ---
    He uses his opponent's legs
    and jumps high again.

[07:25] ---
    And sends a pass
    to the other forward, Brown.

[07:29] ---
    You're not getting through.
[07:30] ---
    What?
[07:32] ---
    Last pass. There!
[07:34] ---
    He sends it back to Diaz no trap.
[07:36] ---
    You're not getting through.
[07:39] ---
    What?
[07:40] ---
    He got by.
[07:41] ---
    He builds momentum with a back flip
    and does a backwards somersault!

[07:44] ---
    He shoots from there!
[07:51] ---
    It's in! Wakashimazu dives,
    but can't get it.

[07:58] ---
    We did it.
[07:59] ---
    One minute into the match,
    Argentina scores the first point.

[08:03] ---
    And what a fine goal it is.
    An acrobatic shot by Diaz.

[08:07] ---
    And an amazing combination play
    with Pascal.

[08:10] ---
    They truly are
    the Golden Duo of Argentina.

[08:14] ---
    Nice, Diaz.
[08:16] ---
    Nice pass, Pascal.
[08:18] ---
    Diaz continues to be in great form.
[08:20] ---
    With this point, he ties Schneider,
    and Napoleon with six points

[08:24] ---
    for the tournament
    and is in the top scorer position.

[08:29] ---
    This is definitely a difficult start
    for Japan who desperately needs this win.

[08:35] ---
    They got us.
[08:36] ---
    It's an amazing goal, that's it.
[08:39] ---
    Don't get down, guys.
[08:41] ---
    The match's just started.
[08:43] ---
    It starts here.
[08:46] ---
    Guys. Okay, guys let's go again.
[08:50] ---
    All right.
[08:51] ---
    The match starts here.
[08:53] ---
    And we're back.
[08:55] ---
    Team Japan is ready
    and raring to catch up.

[08:58] ---
    All right, one more point.
[09:00] ---
    Yeah.
[09:01] ---
    We can't lose.
[09:03] ---
    Roberto is watching from the stands.
[09:06] ---
    I have to get it back. It's now or never.
[09:09] ---
    Tsubasa.
[09:11] ---
    Tsubasa.
[09:13] ---
    Will Japan go with their Golden Duo,
    Tsubasa and Misaki?

[09:17] ---
    Argentina has Diaz and Pascal,
    and Japan has these two.

[09:23] ---
    Tsubasa's still shaken up
    by the whole Roberto thing.

[09:26] ---
    Then we should...
[09:28] ---
    Here.
[09:29] ---
    Misaki.
[09:30] ---
    Misaki decides against
    a combination play with Tsubasa,

[09:33] ---
    and instead passes to Hyuga
    on the other side.

[09:35] ---
    All right, go, Hyuga.
[09:37] ---
    It's up to you.
[09:38] ---
    Not getting through.
[09:40] ---
    Hyuga gets around him with a side step.
[09:43] ---
    Thanks for the ball.
[09:45] ---
    And here's Diaz.
[09:46] ---
    Pascal throws him off balance
    and Diaz takes the ball.

[09:50] ---
    It's a stock Argentine play.
[09:52] ---
    -Not so fast.
    -Whoa.
[09:53] ---
    Hyuga throws power at it.
[09:55] ---
    He isn't giving up the ball.
[09:57] ---
    But the key defensive player,
    Galvan, quickly kicks the loose ball.

[10:01] ---
    What?
[10:02] ---
    Argentina with a solid three tier defense.
[10:06] ---
    They bring the ball to Diaz once again.
[10:09] ---
    All right.
[10:10] ---
    Tsubasa goes after it.Will it be
    a one-on-one with the two stars?

[10:13] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:14] ---
    You're a midfielder too, aren't you?
[10:16] ---
    Take a look around
    before you go charging in.
[10:19] ---
    Our showdown'll have to wait.
[10:21] ---
    What?
[10:23] ---
    Diaz avoids a face-off with Tsubasa
    and passes.

[10:28] ---
    Diaz is fast!
    What's his 50m time? Five seconds?

[10:31] ---
    Here.
[10:36] ---
    He gets around with a feint.
[10:38] ---
    All right.
[10:39] ---
    Still at top speed, he jumps!
    He jumps at the ball.

[10:43] ---
    He forward rolls to the ball.
[10:45] ---
    He uses the momentum
    from the roll and shoots.

[10:48] ---
    Wakashimazu!
[10:50] ---
    Wakashimazu reacts this time.
    It's directly in front of him.

[10:53] ---
    What?
[10:54] ---
    The ball curves.
[10:56] ---
    It's in!
[10:57] ---
    He shoots from a forward roll position
    and he put a curve spin on the ball.

[11:02] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[11:08] ---
    BIRTH DATE JANUARY 25 / HEIGHT 164 CM
    WEIGHT 51 KG / BLOOD TYPE O
[11:12] ---
    And Argentina's own golden boy Juan Diaz
[11:15] ---
    has scored his second point this match.
[11:20] ---
    Seven points overall.
[11:22] ---
    He's now our top scorer.
[11:26] ---
    Amazing, that's Diaz.
[11:28] ---
    They've basically won the match.
[11:30] ---
    Oh no, two points behind already.
[11:33] ---
    Our next opponent is Argentina.
[11:37] ---
    A painful point for Japan.
[11:40] ---
    Unable to eke out an attack,
[11:42] ---
    and their opponent scored
    once the ball was turned over.

[11:44] ---
    Definitely a worst-case scenario.
[11:46] ---
    Their rhythm is off.
[11:49] ---
    The opponents are setting the pace.
[11:52] ---
    They're going to have to figure a way out
    on their own.

[11:58] ---
    If they keep going, they'll get
    more points than the Italy match.
[12:01] ---
    Once they get going, those teams
    from Latin America are scary good.
[12:04] ---
    We need to be careful
    for our Uruguay match tomorrow.
[12:09] ---
    Pull it together!
[12:10] ---
    How are you guys
    suppose to be representing Japan?
[12:14] ---
    Wakabayashi.
[12:16] ---
    Wakabayashi.
[12:18] ---
    Wakabayashi.
[12:20] ---
    I get too preoccupied with Roberto,
    and this is what happens.

[12:24] ---
    I... I need to do something.
[12:28] ---
    Tsubasa, don't rush.
[12:31] ---
    I'll try and cut in by dribbling.
[12:35] ---
    I don't know how far I'll get against
    their skilled plays, but back me up.
[12:41] ---
    Misaki...
[12:45] ---
    I can't let Argentina
    run the show anymore.

[12:51] ---
    And here we go again.
[12:54] ---
    Trying to get it back, Team Japan
[12:57] ---
    takes advantage of Misaki's excellent
    dribbling skills to break through.

[13:00] ---
    How far will Misaki's French soccer
    get against Argentina?

[13:05] ---
    All right. Go, Misaki.
[13:07] ---
    Go for it.
[13:08] ---
    Japan may be in a rut but their fans
    are still cheering hard from the stands.

[13:17] ---
    And it's quickly intercepted!
    It's Diaz again.

[13:21] ---
    Misaki.
[13:22] ---
    Come at me, Number 10.
[13:26] ---
    He gets by Tsubasa, too.
[13:27] ---
    And how humiliating for Tsubasa,
    the ball goes right between his legs.

[13:32] ---
    Is that all you got?
[13:34] ---
    The final shot...
[13:36] ---
    Go!
[13:39] ---
    And it's a long shot.
[13:43] ---
    It's a Drive Shot!
[13:46] ---
    It's in! The third point!
[13:48] ---
    Diaz takes
    Tsubasa's signature shot and scores.

[13:54] ---
    The Argentine genius
[13:56] ---
    Juan Diaz, ten minutes into
    the first half already makes a hat trick.

[14:00] ---
    He did it!
[14:02] ---
    Nice shot!
[14:03] ---
    I'm at a loss for words here.
[14:07] ---
    What a phenom Juan Diaz is!
[14:09] ---
    As long as he's here,
    I think it's safe to say

[14:11] ---
    that Argentina is the favorite
    to win the tournament.

[14:16] ---
    I'm the one who'll lead Argentina
    to world number one.

[14:21] ---
    The first page of the legend
    of Juan Diaz begins now,

[14:24] ---
    at the International Junior Youth
    Tournament in France.

[14:28] ---
    Now Japan's chances of advancing
    to the finals appear to be nil.

[14:33] ---
    I guess this is about as good as
    I can expect from a team from Asia.
[14:36] ---
    Doesn't matter if you were coached by
    someone from the soccer nation of Brazil,
[14:41] ---
    it's the raw material that counts.
[14:42] ---
    Our soccer abilities
    are just on different levels, that's all.
[14:53] ---
    Why am I panicking?
[14:55] ---
    That's right, I'm not playing soccer
    for Roberto.

[15:00] ---
    I'm playing for me...
[15:04] ---
    and I'm playing for us.
[15:08] ---
    Tsubasa.
[15:10] ---
    Three-point difference.
[15:11] ---
    That's about right for a handicap,
    right, guys?
[15:17] ---
    What?
[15:21] ---
    Three-point difference.
    We have to go after them.
[15:25] ---
    We have no choice.
[15:27] ---
    That's right.
[15:28] ---
    Nothing we can do about the points
    they already have.
[15:31] ---
    We're going to go get that back now.
[15:34] ---
    Hyuga.
[15:35] ---
    Matsuyama.
[15:36] ---
    That's right. We haven't given up yet.
[15:39] ---
    We pledged to each other last night.
[15:42] ---
    I haven't forgotten that.
[15:46] ---
    We've come this far,
    and it's too late to turn back.
[15:50] ---
    Hyuga.
[15:52] ---
    We've already started running.
[15:55] ---
    That's right and our goal is the world.
[15:58] ---
    We can't turn back.
[16:02] ---
    With Tsubasa at the center,
    we were competing against each other.
[16:05] ---
    But now we've come together as a team.
[16:07] ---
    No matter how hard it gets,
    this team can rise above it.
[16:11] ---
    We can beat the world!
[16:14] ---
    So that Japan can be number one
    in the world.
[16:18] ---
    Let's win this tournament, guys.
[16:21] ---
    All right!
[16:24] ---
    We might be exhausted
    but we won't give up.

[16:27] ---
    We'll keep fighting
    to be number one in the world.

[16:34] ---
    And it's that time again.
[16:35] ---
    Japan is already three points behind,
    will they find a way back?

[16:41] ---
    -Come on, guys.
    -Go for it, everyone.
[16:44] ---
    These three points are on me.
[16:46] ---
    I have to get them back.
    I will get them back!

[16:49] ---
    Tsubasa, the three points
    are no one player's responsibility.
[16:53] ---
    If you want to place blame,
    then it's the team's.
[16:58] ---
    Don't get so worked up.
[16:59] ---
    Misaki.
[17:01] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[17:03] ---
    We're counting on you, Tsubasa.
[17:06] ---
    Argentina is on a roll.
[17:07] ---
    To stop them, we have to stop Diaz.
[17:12] ---
    I'll get by him.
[17:14] ---
    I see you insist on going, Tsubasa.
[17:16] ---
    Then I'll back you up.
[17:19] ---
    Let's go, Diaz.
[17:21] ---
    What's that about,
    a three-point handicap?

[17:23] ---
    It's just talk,
    or the score has made him lose his mind.

[17:29] ---
    I won't lose to you.
[17:34] ---
    Tsubasa goes solo to get by,
    but Diaz follows.

[17:38] ---
    -Tsubasa!
    -Diaz!
[17:40] ---
    In the midfield,
[17:41] ---
    it's a showdown between
    the two star players.

[17:44] ---
    Whoever controls the midfield
    controls the match.

[17:47] ---
    But if Tsubasa loses here,
    then there really is no winning for Japan.

[17:55] ---
    This is it.
[17:56] ---
    It's the same move
    as when Tsubasa was passed.

[17:59] ---
    A light kick and then past the legs.
[18:03] ---
    Gotcha. I thought you would come this way.
[18:06] ---
    And I deliberately took you up on it.
[18:09] ---
    But Diaz has read it. He takes the ball.
[18:13] ---
    Oh, but Tsubasa has read it too.
[18:15] ---
    He didn't kick it and barrels ahead.
[18:17] ---
    Why, you!
[18:21] ---
    Diaz doesn't give up
    and puts his foot out.

[18:23] ---
    Tsubasa goes down and the ball is loose.
[18:30] ---
    Misaki picks it up.
[18:33] ---
    What?
[18:34] ---
    Nice back up, Misaki.
[18:36] ---
    Misaki.
[18:37] ---
    That's right. All the guys are behind me.
[18:41] ---
    It's not Tsubasa alone,
    but for the first time in this match,

[18:46] ---
    they've gotten by genius Diaz.
[18:49] ---
    Diaz.
[18:51] ---
    Crap.
[18:52] ---
    Don't worry, Diaz. It's a fluke.
[18:55] ---
    I'll stop it.
[18:57] ---
    Now, Pascal heads over.
[18:59] ---
    Tsubasa.
[19:01] ---
    All right, Misaki.
[19:05] ---
    The Golden Duo of Japan is on the move.
[19:08] ---
    They get by in a second.
[19:10] ---
    What?
[19:11] ---
    -Nice, Tsubasa.
    -Misaki!
[19:13] ---
    Okay, this is good! Keep going.
[19:16] ---
    Japan's starting to find their groove.
[19:18] ---
    Hyuga and Nitta, the Japanese
    two upfronts, and Ishizaki, overlap.

[19:24] ---
    I'm over here.
[19:26] ---
    He thinks he's got us all figured out.
[19:29] ---
    He might be partially true.
[19:31] ---
    But our style may not be...
[19:34] ---
    may not be South American, or European,
    but our soccer comes from Asia.

[19:38] ---
    I mean, Japan.
[19:43] ---
    Tsubasa.
[19:44] ---
    Watch and learn.
[19:45] ---
    This is J BOYS soccer!
[19:49] ---
    Drive Shot is coming.
    We're going with the plan.
[19:53] ---
    All right.
[19:54] ---
    His Drive Shot goes
    either upper right or upper left.

[20:00] ---
    We just have to predict the direction
[20:02] ---
    and stop it without
    getting overwhelmed by its power.

[20:06] ---
    What is that defense formation?
[20:08] ---
    All right.
[20:11] ---
    Go!
[20:12] ---
    Without hesitation,
    he lets loose the Drive Shot.

[20:15] ---
    But it isn't going toward the goal!
    Is this some kind of mistake?

[20:18] ---
    What?
[20:20] ---
    No, it's a Drive Pass to Hyuga.
[20:23] ---
    It's up to you, Hyuga.
[20:25] ---
    Tsubasa showed he believed in me
[20:27] ---
    by switching from a Drive Shot
    to a Drive Pass.

[20:31] ---
    I have to return the favor
    by getting this in.

[20:33] ---
    The Drive Pass is coming
    from straight overhead directly down.

[20:36] ---
    I have to be in sync with the sound.
[20:44] ---
    Right here.
[20:45] ---
    Hyuga shoots without trapping!
[20:48] ---
    -What?
    -Hyuga!
[20:50] ---
    It's nearly impossible
    to meet it at this speed.

[20:53] ---
    If this goes in,
[20:55] ---
    Tsubasa and Hyuga, the two pillars
    of middle school soccer in Japan,

[20:59] ---
    will truly be the Super Golden Duo!
[21:02] ---
    Scoring this goal is the only way
[21:04] ---
    to open the door to becoming
    a true ace striker for Team Japan.
[21:09] ---
    Go!
[21:12] ---
    Tiger Shot!
[21:22] ---
    It's in! The first sign
    of a Japanese counterattack.

[21:26] ---
    A counterblow through sheer will power!
[21:28] ---
    All right!
[21:32] ---
    Yes! It's a point!
[21:34] ---
    Tsubasa! Hyuga!
[21:37] ---
    All right, we got a point back.
[21:40] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora, Kojiro Hyuga.
[21:42] ---
    The first combination
    for the Super Golden Duo,

[21:45] ---
    the stuff dreams are made of,
    a Drive Pass plus Tiger Shot.

[21:48] ---
    A Drive Tiger Shot!
[21:51] ---
    Nice shot, Hyuga.
[21:54] ---
    Nice pass, Tsubasa.
