**[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] ---**

*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*
**[21:10] ---**
*thanks to their constant and inseparable
connection across continents.*
**[21:17] ---**
*It's in! Goal!*
