[00:01] ---
    Go!
[00:05] ---
    No, it's a Drive Pass to Hyuga.
[00:08] ---
    It's up to you, Hyuga.
[00:10] ---
    Tsubasa showed he believed in me
[00:12] ---
    by switching from a Drive Shot
    to a Drive Pass.

[00:16] ---
    Right here.
[00:19] ---
    Scoring this goal is the only way
[00:21] ---
    to open the door to becoming
    a true ace striker for Team Japan.
[00:26] ---
    Go!
[00:28] ---
    Tiger Shot!
[00:39] ---
    It's in! The first sign
    of a Japanese counterattack.

[00:43] ---
    A counterblow through sheer will power!
[00:45] ---
    All right!
[00:48] ---
    Yes! It's a point!
[00:50] ---
    Tsubasa! Hyuga!
[00:53] ---
    All right, we got a point back.
[00:56] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora, Kojiro Hyuga.
[00:59] ---
    The first combination
    for the Super Golden Duo,

[01:02] ---
    the stuff dreams are made of,
    a Drive Pass plus Tiger Shot.

[01:05] ---
    A Drive Tiger Shot!
[01:08] ---
    Nice shot, Hyuga.
[01:10] ---
    Nice pass, Tsubasa.
[01:33] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[01:38] ---
    
[02:55] ---
    This time, Argentina kicks off
    to restart the match.

[02:59] ---
    EPISODE 15
    JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH STRIKES BACK
[03:02] ---
    Go, Argentina! It's only a point!
[03:05] ---
    Take it easy.
[03:06] ---
    The genius worries about that one point!
[03:13] ---
    He gets by Hyuga with his specialty feint.
[03:17] ---
    What?
[03:26] ---
    No way.
[03:27] ---
    Can't be.
[03:28] ---
    His charge at the goal
    is proof of his genius.

[03:33] ---
    I've never seen such amazing dribbling.
[03:40] ---
    A-Amazing.
[03:42] ---
    Th-This is...
[03:44] ---
    Diaz has always been a laid-back,
    carefree player.
[03:48] ---
    I've never seen him so serious.
[03:52] ---
    Let's go, Number 10.
[03:54] ---
    Diaz!
[03:58] ---
    What? He's gonna body slam me?
[04:01] ---
    He passes a second
    before he runs into Tsubasa.

[04:03] ---
    He completely passes Tsubasa by.
[04:06] ---
    T-Tsubasa got passed so easily.
[04:10] ---
    Here, Diaz.
[04:12] ---
    All right.
[04:13] ---
    Misaki of Japan, intercepts.
[04:15] ---
    What?
[04:16] ---
    Darn.
[04:18] ---
    Here.
[04:19] ---
    All right, let's go!
[04:23] ---
    What amazing kicking power.
[04:28] ---
    The quick-footed Nitta
    from Japan with a direct shot!

[04:32] ---
    Go! Non-Trap Running Volley Falcon Shot!
[04:39] ---
    Oh, it hits the crossbar. So close.
[04:42] ---
    Another try from Japan but no score.
[04:44] ---
    Crap.
[04:49] ---
    Finally, they're playing
    like their usual selves again.
[04:52] ---
    Yes, and they've gotten
    used to Argentina's speed.
[04:59] ---
    Thanks to Tsubasa keeping Diaz in check,
[05:02] ---
    the rhythm of the team
    has definitely improved.
[05:10] ---
    No more points.
[05:12] ---
    There's no time left in the first half.
    It's up to you, Tsubasa.
[05:16] ---
    Diaz runs to try and intercept.
[05:23] ---
    The two of them jump
    at exactly the same time.

[05:25] ---
    Number 10!
[05:27] ---
    Diaz!
[05:33] ---
    Tsubasa gets the loose ball.
[05:37] ---
    He reacted faster than the genius Diaz.
[05:39] ---
    All right.
[05:40] ---
    There you have it folks, Japan's very own
    soccer genius, Tsubasa Ozora.

[05:45] ---
    Diaz lost.
[05:47] ---
    A total one-on-one match up.
[05:50] ---
    N-No way.
[05:52] ---
    Misaki receives the ball
    and moves up dribbling.

[05:56] ---
    Misaki!
[05:57] ---
    Okay! Go, Misaki.
[06:00] ---
    It's been three years
    since Taro and I came to France.

[06:03] ---
    It was in the summer three years ago
    that we left Nankatsu City.

[06:08] ---
    There in Nankatsu, through soccer,
[06:11] ---
    he met his best friend Tsubasa.
[06:14] ---
    But my selfishness ended up
    tearing them apart.

[06:20] ---
    But Taro never became resentful.
[06:24] ---
    He's always kind.
[06:27] ---
    Even when Yumiko said
    she wanted to take custody of Taro,

[06:30] ---
    YAMAOKA
[06:31] ---
    he insisted his last name was Misaki,
    and not Yamaoka.

[06:33] ---
    He said he was Taro Misaki, my son.
[06:41] ---
    And solely through my selfishness,
    I brought Taro here to France.

[06:42] ---
    TARO MISAKI
[06:59] ---
    Argentina's forte is their unique skills,
[07:02] ---
    but Misaki has confused them,
    all by himself.

[07:05] ---
    Let's go, Kazuo.
    While Argentina is shaken.
[07:08] ---
    This is it, our last chance
    in the first half.
[07:11] ---
    Bro!
[07:12] ---
    Jito!
[07:13] ---
    Yo.
[07:16] ---
    Finally, the time
    to try that technique has come.

[07:19] ---
    I won't let you get through any more.
    I'll crush you.
[07:22] ---
    Tsubasa!
[07:24] ---
    Misaki switches and passes to Tsubasa.
[07:28] ---
    Tsubasa, bring it up to the goal.
[07:34] ---
    All right, the rest is up to you.
[07:40] ---
    Let's go, Jito!
[07:41] ---
    All right!
[07:49] ---
    -All right!
    -Go!
[07:51] ---
    Yo!
[07:55] ---
    Skylab Hurricane, two-tier launch!
[07:59] ---
    They flew in tandem!
[08:02] ---
    Wh-What is that?
[08:10] ---
    Take that!
[08:11] ---
    Go!
[08:13] ---
    It's a Twin Shot!
[08:20] ---
    Wh-What?!
[08:23] ---
    Goal! Japan scores a second goal!
[08:27] ---
    The Tachibana twins ambush and score.
[08:31] ---
    Way to go, Tachibana twins!
[08:34] ---
    W-We did it!
[08:35] ---
    It's in!
[08:36] ---
    We did it!
[08:43] ---
    Tachibana!
[08:45] ---
    The whistle means
    the end of the first half.

[08:48] ---
    But are they all right?
[08:50] ---
    They seem to have taken
    a pretty hard landing.

[08:52] ---
    Guess we still need to figure out
    that landing part.
[08:56] ---
    Yeah, but we definitely got that goal.
[09:00] ---
    Now we're only one out.
[09:03] ---
    Looks like they're being
    taken to the locker room.

[09:06] ---
    Truly they took one for the team.
[09:11] ---
    I think those three goals in a row by Diaz
    had us all wondering how many were next.

[09:16] ---
    Argentina must truly be surprised
    by Japan's tenacity.

[09:20] ---
    Crap!
[09:22] ---
    Whatever, we're still ahead by one.
[09:31] ---
    With that point,
    who knows which way the match will go.
[09:35] ---
    Japan's hanging in there.
    They're pretty tough.
[09:39] ---
    Three goals and two assists.
[09:42] ---
    The showdown between the two Number 10s
    in the second half will decide this.
[09:46] ---
    What are you doing?
    You're relying too much on Diaz.
[09:50] ---
    You men represent Argentina,
    so don't rely solely on Diaz.
[09:56] ---
    Have more faith in yourselves.
[09:59] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[10:00] ---
    It's not their fault.
[10:05] ---
    If I had come through better, then
    we could've gotten more than three points.
[10:10] ---
    The responsibility for what happens
[10:12] ---
    on the pitch rests with me,
    the one wearing the captain's armband.
[10:15] ---
    Diaz...
[10:16] ---
    Roberto Hongo's pre-match warning
    turned out to be true.
[10:23] ---
    I know you're of Japanese descent,
[10:26] ---
    so forgive me,
    but we will triumph over Japan today.
[10:29] ---
    That is some confidence.
[10:32] ---
    As long as you have genius Diaz,
    you can't lose, is that it?
[10:36] ---
    Something like that.
[10:38] ---
    I wouldn't underestimate Japan,
    and Tsubasa.
[10:43] ---
    Tsubasa thrives in the face of adversity.
[10:46] ---
    The more you push him,
    the more he shows you his true strength.
[10:50] ---
    I don't think it will be an easy match.
[10:54] ---
    Roberto.
[10:56] ---
    And...
[10:57] ---
    Tsubasa is a soccer genius,
    just like Juan Diaz.
[11:05] ---
    I have the feeling we still don't know
    the full extent of Number 10's abilities.

[11:11] ---
    Sorry, Diaz.
[11:13] ---
    I know we're called
    the Argentine Golden Duo,
[11:16] ---
    but I can't keep up with you
    at your top speed.
[11:19] ---
    Don't sweat it, Pascal.
    You can only do what you can.
[11:23] ---
    What's strange is that Number 10
    can keep up with me.
[11:29] ---
    Don't look so serious, guys.
[11:32] ---
    We're still ahead by one.
[11:34] ---
    As long as the genius Juan Diaz is here,
    Argentina can't lose.
[11:39] ---
    Now let's go have some fun.
[11:41] ---
    For better or worse,
    this is a one-man team run by Diaz.

[11:45] ---
    His feelings alone
    can sway the entire team.

[11:48] ---
    I'm counting on you
    in the second half, Diaz.

[11:52] ---
    The Tachibana brothers
    are out of commission for the second half.
[11:55] ---
    Sano and Izawa, you'll take their places.
[11:58] ---
    Yes, sir.
[11:59] ---
    You two, I want you to see the medics.
[12:01] ---
    Yes, sir.
[12:02] ---
    Sorry, guys.
[12:04] ---
    What're you talking about?
    You got us a really important point.
[12:08] ---
    That's right, Masao, Kazuo.
[12:11] ---
    Let's learn from
    the Tachibana brothers' fighting spirit
[12:14] ---
    and keep pushing in the second half, guys.
[12:17] ---
    Yeah.
[12:19] ---
    We'll take the lead.
[12:21] ---
    A lot has happened
    since we arrived in Europe.

[12:28] ---
    Team Japan is no longer
    a mishmash of players.

[12:33] ---
    We're a single, cohesive team.
[12:37] ---
    As long as we can hold onto our passion,
[12:38] ---
    we can still make things happen
    in the second half.

[12:41] ---
    Tsubasa, since you've held down Diaz,
    we've gotten better as a team.
[12:46] ---
    Keep marking Diaz in the second half.
[12:48] ---
    Okay.
[12:49] ---
    You're no less a soccer genius than Diaz.
[12:53] ---
    Be confident.
[12:54] ---
    Misugi.
[12:56] ---
    Zino Hernandez in the first match,
[12:59] ---
    and then Juan Diaz in the second.
[13:03] ---
    All worthy opponents.
[13:09] ---
    Take them down, and the road
[13:11] ---
    to becoming the best player
    in the world will present itself.

[13:17] ---
    Let's do it! Let's go, guys!
[13:20] ---
    Yeah.
[13:21] ---

[13:53] ---
    Go, Tsubasa.
[13:55] ---
    The second half
    starts now with Argentina's kick off.

[14:02] ---
    One of the strongest opponents
    I've met on the world stage.

[14:06] ---
    Soccer genius, Juan Diaz.
[14:09] ---
    The world doesn't need another genius.
[14:11] ---
    Juan Diaz will take the title
    of the world's number one player.

[14:16] ---
    Game on, Diaz!
[14:18] ---
    Come at me, Number 10.
[14:21] ---
    Diaz gets by Tsubasa with a fei...
    Oh, but Tsubasa stays right on him.

[14:28] ---
    Now he tries to muscle through.
[14:30] ---
    But Tsubasa is still on him.
[14:33] ---
    The two are going head to head.
[14:37] ---
    The two, crash.
[14:51] ---
    An overhead kick as they fall.
[14:54] ---
    The speed and skill are identical.
[14:57] ---
    It's a fight of the highest level,
    a fight between two geniuses.

[15:01] ---
    Diaz!
[15:02] ---
    Number 10!
[15:09] ---
    I haven't had this much fun in a while.
[15:12] ---
    Sano, who just came into the match,
    picks up the loose ball.

[15:16] ---
    -Nice, Sano.
    -Here.
[15:18] ---
    All right.
[15:19] ---
    The ball goes to Izawa,
    who just came in as well.

[15:23] ---
    Izawa.
[15:24] ---
    Not happening.
[15:25] ---
    Tsubasa goes in front of the goal,
    but Diaz is marking him.

[15:30] ---
    Misaki.
[15:31] ---
    Izawa passes, not to Tsubasa,
    but Misaki who is free.

[15:36] ---
    All right.
[15:41] ---
    Tsubasa.
[15:43] ---
    All right! Let's go, Misaki.
[15:45] ---
    Tsubasa is trapped.
[15:47] ---
    Come if you want!
[15:50] ---
    Tsubasa gets by with a cartwheel
    and goes into a back flip.

[15:57] ---
    Diaz slides to get by Galvan.
[16:00] ---
    All right, here.
[16:03] ---
    Tsubasa does a back flip!
[16:06] ---
    This is the same technique
    Diaz used to score the first point.

[16:10] ---
    He makes his opponent's techniques
    his own.

[16:13] ---
    Tsubasa at his finest.
[16:15] ---
    Misaki centers Tsubasa a well-timed pass
    as you'd expect from the Golden Duo.

[16:22] ---
    Tsubasa! Misaki!
[16:24] ---
    Hats off for stealing my technique
    so easily. But...

[16:31] ---
    The originator won't allow it.
[16:33] ---
    Diaz with a Jumping Volley Block!
    No point for Japan!

[16:37] ---
    Here, goalie.
[16:40] ---
    Diaz, still in the air
    with a back pass to the goalie!

[16:44] ---
    Nice, Diaz.
[16:46] ---
    All right, let's attack!
[16:48] ---
    Let's show them the power of Argentina.
[16:50] ---
    Yeah!
[16:51] ---
    The Argentina offense, a level
    above Italy, is attacking Team Japan.

[16:57] ---
    -Don't let them get through!
    -We're gonna stop them!
[17:02] ---
    Galvan thunders through the opposition!
[17:06] ---
    The giant can dribble!
[17:08] ---
    Move, I'll stop him!
[17:12] ---
    The clash of the giants
    is evenly matched.

[17:16] ---
    Argentina picks up the loose ball.
[17:18] ---
    Here, Pascal.
[17:21] ---
    Okay!
[17:22] ---
    You're not getting through!
[17:25] ---
    Hyuga the forward returns
    to the goal area and intercepts!

[17:28] ---
    It's all hands on defense
    for Team Japan!

[17:32] ---
    Nice, Hyuga.
[17:34] ---
    We still have the ball.
[17:36] ---
    Fans from both sides
    are roaring in the stands.

[17:40] ---
    Defense, hang in there, Japan!
[17:42] ---
    Don't give away any more points!
[17:44] ---
    Go Argentina!
[17:46] ---
    Get another goal!
[17:48] ---
    From the Argentina side...
[17:51] ---
    Here, Pascal.
[17:52] ---
    ...a pass to Pascal in front of the goal.
[17:55] ---
    We'll stop it.
[17:57] ---
    Ishizaki and Soda block the shot path.
[18:01] ---
    Here, Diaz.
[18:03] ---
    Oh, and Pascal passes back
    with an overhead kick.

[18:10] ---
    Go!
[18:13] ---
    Diaz is a second faster,
    and the second Drive Shot of the day.

[18:18] ---
    Will Argentina extend their lead?
[18:23] ---
    Wakashimazu stops it!
[18:26] ---
    But he can't stop
    the spinning of the Drive.

[18:31] ---
    Wakashimazu chops the ball
    with his left hand!

[18:34] ---
    He snaps it back.
[18:36] ---
    What?!
[18:37] ---
    Nice, Wakashimazu.
[18:38] ---
    But again! Again Argentina
    picks up the loose ball.

[18:43] ---
    Pascal.
[18:44] ---
    Come, Pascal.
[18:46] ---
    Here.
[18:50] ---
    Diaz with his specialty Somersault Shot!
[18:58] ---
    Wakashimazu uses
    the same technique to block!

[19:01] ---
    A vertical roll heel kick!
[19:07] ---
    The karate-ka Wakashimazu's
    kicking power overwhelms.

[19:11] ---
    They can't give away any more points.
[19:12] ---
    It was a driven save by Wakashimazu.
[19:15] ---
    Finally, the ball
    is in possession by Japan.

[19:18] ---
    Get it.
[19:19] ---
    Take it.
[19:21] ---
    No way.
[19:25] ---
    Surrounded by three players,
    he hangs on to the ball.

[19:29] ---
    He's number one at ball possession,
    Hikaru Matsuyama.

[19:36] ---
    All right.
[19:37] ---
    Team Japan attacks
    into the opponent's side.

[19:39] ---
    The Argentinian team rushes back.
[19:41] ---
    Tsubasa.
[19:42] ---
    Ball goes to Tsubasa, the control tower.
[19:45] ---
    Tsubasa.
[19:46] ---
    Here, Misaki.
[19:48] ---
    It's a pass to Misaki.
[19:51] ---
    Not letting that through.
[19:53] ---
    Misaki read that move
    and passes it back to Hyuga.

[19:57] ---
    Nice, Misaki. I got it.
[20:00] ---
    I'll stop you from shooting.
[20:03] ---
    What?
[20:05] ---
    I won't allow our attack,
    our chance at a point, to stop!

[20:11] ---
    Here, Tsubasa.
[20:13] ---
    Hyuga.
[20:18] ---
    Wakashimazu saved us
    from Diaz's two shots,

[20:22] ---
    Matsuyama kept the ball
    and found an opening to Hyuga,

[20:27] ---
    who had his shot blocked
    and changed it to a pass for me.

[20:33] ---
    If I don't make this shot...
[20:37] ---
    then I'm just some snot-nosed kid!
[20:39] ---
    No way!
[20:44] ---
    Diaz. But this ball...
[20:47] ---
    Tsubasa.
[20:52] ---
    Taro!
[20:53] ---
    Go for it, Misaki.
[20:58] ---
    Taro's pure heart, Tsubasa's whole-hearted
    determination, are all for soccer.

[21:04] ---
    Nice pass, Tsubasa.
[21:08] ---
    A combination only possible
