    Go for it, Misaki.
[00:07] ---
    It's in! Goal!
[00:10] ---
    Misaki's Jumping Volley evens the score.
[00:13] ---
    Go for it, Taro. One more point
    and you're in the top four.

    A BATTLE OF UPS AND DOWNS
[01:54] ---
    Plenty of time that is, for somebody
    to turn this game around.
[02:01] ---
    And there goes the starting whistle.
[02:07] ---
    Diaz!
[02:08] ---
    What's this?
[02:08] ---
    Captain Diaz of Argentina has the ball
    and is rushing in all by himself!
[02:13] ---
    This is unreal. I can't lose.
[02:15] ---
    I'm soccer genius Juan Diaz,
    and I refuse to lose against Japan!
[02:23] ---
    -Let's do this, Misaki!
    -Okay!
[02:26] ---
    Tsubasa is charging at him head on.
[02:30] ---
    Diaz, dodges to the left.
[02:33] ---
    I'm not done yet!
[02:34] ---
    Tsubasa kicks out his right leg
    in a fight to steal the ball.
[02:39] ---
    But he won't let him have it!
    Diaz has slipped past Tsubasa.
[02:43] ---
    But wait! Misaki cuts in!
[02:46] ---
    -What?!
    -Diaz!
[02:47] ---
    Come on, let's do this, Tsubasa!
[02:49] ---
    Okay, Misaki!
[02:51] ---
    Japan launches an attack
    on Argentine territory!
[02:53] ---
    Will they turn this game around?
[02:57] ---
    Diaz.
[02:59] ---
    I see in you
[03:00] ---
    what happened to Japan's Number 10
    at the very beginning of the match.
[03:04] ---
    Even superstars can crack
    under extreme pressure.
[03:10] ---
    Climb your way back, and you'll see
    the path to becoming a true champion.
[03:16] ---
    You can do it, Diaz.
[03:19] ---
    Defense, everyone!
[03:22] ---
    Diaz, you're the one usually saving us!
[03:25] ---
    But this time each and every one of us
    is gonna fight back against Japan!
[03:30] ---
    Yeah!
[03:32] ---
    Guys...
[03:33] ---
    Tsubasa!
[03:35] ---
    All right!
[03:36] ---
    -Get out there!
    -Let's fend them off!
[03:38] ---
    What a defensive play by Argentina!
[03:42] ---
    Take this!
[03:43] ---
    They're determined to keep us
    from scoring another point.
[03:46] ---
    They're fighting with everything they got.
[03:48] ---
    But we can't allow a draw.
    We won't stay in the top four...
[03:53] ---
    Get ready, because this fight
    is just beginning!
[03:58] ---
    Whoa! Tsubasa runs right into that tackle!
[04:03] ---
    And the ball rebounds to...
[04:06] ---
    Misaki picks it up!
[04:08] ---
    We're going to fend you off
    without Diaz's help!
[04:22] ---
    Amazing! A truly fierce defensive play
    by Argentina!
[04:26] ---
    The ball goes flying,
    but Hyuga picks it up!
[04:29] ---
    I won't let you have it!
[04:30] ---
    What?!
[04:33] ---
    The ball is knocked away and rolls off!
[04:37] ---
    Seven people on Argentina's side
    of the field are on the ground!
[04:41] ---
    Who's going to get this loose ball?
[04:45] ---
    There!
[04:46] ---
    Wow! Argentina's goalie, Galtoni,
    jumps out and clears the ball!
[04:51] ---
    What?!
[04:52] ---
    It's Japan's Three Musketeers, Tsubasa,
    Misaki, and Hyuga, launching an attack,
[04:57] ---
    but Argentina fends them off
    with spirit and tenacity!
[05:02] ---
    We know you can do it, Diaz!
[05:04] ---
    We're not expecting you
    to pull our weight!
[05:07] ---
    We pass to you because we believe in you!
[05:10] ---
    Guys...
[05:12] ---
    That's right. There's no need to worry,
    because everyone's got my back.
[05:17] ---
    All right!
[05:19] ---
    Let's do this!
[05:20] ---
    The ball goes to Diaz!
[05:22] ---
    He's signaling a counter attack
    with this dribble!
[05:25] ---
    Juan Diaz.
[05:27] ---
    Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina,
[05:29] ---
    to a poor family
    as the youngest of eight siblings.
[05:35] ---
    At nine months old, his first steps
    were spent kicking a soccer ball.
[05:42] ---
    What?!
[05:43] ---
    Nitta, Sano!
[05:45] ---
    And now, he gets past Izawa!
[05:47] ---
    Crap! We have to stop him!
[05:49] ---
    Team Japan's defense
    will put an end to this!
[05:52] ---
    Diaz! I'll always be right behind you!
[05:56] ---
    Pascal...
[06:01] ---
    I'm Pascal.
[06:03] ---
    I'm Diaz.
[06:04] ---
    At five years old,
    his brothers taught him soccer.
[06:08] ---
    That's when he met Pascal,
    who lived nearby,
[06:11] ---
    and together,
    they polished their soccer skills.
[06:15] ---
    They began to make rapid progress,
[06:17] ---
    and would sometimes take on
    some eleven players at once.
[06:21] ---
    What's with those two?
[06:24] ---
    How'd you like that?
[06:25] ---
    We did it, Diaz!
[06:27] ---
    At twelve years old, he was paid a visit
    by a scout from a local soccer club.
[06:32] ---
    I'll only do it if Pascal can join too.
[06:34] ---
    Diaz.
[06:35] ---
    No biggy if you don't want to.
    I've got other offers on the table.
[06:40] ---
    Little does he know...
[06:42] ---
    Very well, we'll sign up the both of you.
[06:45] ---
    All right!
[06:46] ---
    Diaz is sprinting into enemy territory!
[06:50] ---
    It's Mr. Guts Ishizaki!
[06:53] ---
    And Jito the Boulder.
[06:55] ---
    He slipped past them!
[06:56] ---
    What?!
[06:57] ---
    -Blast it!
    -Ace Killer Soda performs his Razor Tackle!
[07:03] ---
    Amazing! Diaz evades him as well!
[07:06] ---
    What?!
[07:08] ---
    When Diaz was thirteen,
[07:10] ---
    he won a fourteen-and-under club
    team tournament,
[07:14] ---
    and became number one in Argentina.
[07:16] ---
    With his soccer skills
    far exceeding his brothers,
[07:19] ---
    he would receive a small bonus
    whenever he won a tournament.
[07:22] ---
    And once his older brothers
    started working,
[07:25] ---
    things started to look up
    for the Diaz family.
[07:29] ---
    At fifteen, he was selected to be
    on Argentina Junior Youth
[07:33] ---
    and was appointed captain.
[07:35] ---
    The plan was to play him as a regular
    on a professional team in the next season.
[07:42] ---
    He made his professional debut
[07:44] ---
    at just fifteen,
    as early as another Argentine hero.
[07:47] ---
    What's this?!
[07:49] ---
    He has slipped past Matsuyama,
    Team Japan's last remaining defender.
[07:53] ---
    -Oh no!
    -Dang!
[07:54] ---
    It's now a duel
    between him and the goalie!
[07:58] ---
    Wakashimazu jumps out
    without hesitation!
[08:06] ---
    Wow!
[08:07] ---
    Diaz has evaded even Wakashimazu!
[08:11] ---
    I-Incredible! He has bested
    eight opponents!
[08:15] ---
    Diaz has slipped past eight people
    and takes a shot at an unmanned goal!
[08:19] ---
    It's 4 to 3! Argentina is once again
    leading Team Japan!
[08:24] ---
    Genius Diaz is back!
[08:26] ---
    This is the fourth goal he has made
    on his own in this match!
[08:29] ---
    I did it, everyone! Did you see that?
[08:32] ---
    Behold, the true Juan Diaz!
[08:34] ---
    Great job, Diaz!
[08:35] ---
    You're number one!
[08:37] ---
    See that, Japan?!
[08:39] ---
    Now you know what Diaz is capable of!
[08:41] ---
    As long as we've got you,
    Argentina can't lose!
[08:45] ---
    People on the ground and in the stands
    are cheering as if they've won!
[08:50] ---
    Diaz overcame because he knew
    that everyone had his back.
[08:57] ---
    This is a major point.
[09:00] ---
    The rest of the match
    is theirs for the taking.
[09:04] ---
    He got past eight of us all by himself.
[09:07] ---
    Sorry, team.
[09:10] ---
    When we tied the game,
[09:12] ---
    I wanted to turn the game around
    so badly that I stopped marking Diaz.
[09:17] ---
    Tsubasa, it's not your fault.
[09:21] ---
    We're to blame
    for letting him slip right past us.
[09:25] ---
    Eight people all by himself.
[09:27] ---
    I've got to hand it to Diaz.
[09:32] ---
    But I... We... aren't down
    for the count just yet!
[09:36] ---
    We'll tie again
    and then turn this game around!
[09:40] ---
    Tsubasa.
[09:41] ---
    Tsubasa is right. We still have time.
[09:44] ---
    We'll keep fighting
    to win until time runs out.
[09:47] ---
    -Misaki.
    -Misaki...
[09:49] ---
    That's right.
[09:51] ---
    They think they've won,
    but we're not giving up on winning.
[09:56] ---
    Pass the ball to me, Tsubasa.
[09:58] ---
    This time, I'll make the shot.
[10:00] ---
    Hyuga.
[10:02] ---
    Okay, Hyuga.
[10:04] ---
    All right, let's go, everyone!
[10:06] ---
    Yeah!
[10:09] ---
    -Ishizaki.
    -Huh?
[10:12] ---
    I guess that's why Nankatsu won
    for three straight years.
[10:16] ---
    Huh? You okay, Hyuga?
    Why bring that up now?
[10:20] ---
    No reason.
[10:22] ---
    It's just that...
[10:23] ---
    after being on the same team as Tsubasa,
    I've got this feeling.
[10:29] ---
    That we can deal with anything that comes
    our way as long as he's on our side.
[10:34] ---
    He makes me feel like we can win
    as long as we give it our all.
[10:39] ---
    Good ol' Number 10.

[10:50] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:51] ---
    And we're back!
[10:53] ---
    Can Team Japan pick apart
    Argentina's energized defense?!
[10:57] ---
    We're counting on you, Tsubasa!
[10:59] ---
    High expectations
    are super-charging their attack.
[11:01] ---
    Captain Tsubasa's reputation
    as a playmaker is on the line!
[11:06] ---
    Tsubasa has the ball and Diaz
    is already pressing him!
[11:10] ---
    I'm gonna keep my momentum going.
[11:12] ---
    I'm gonna steal your ball
    and make it a two point lead!
[11:15] ---
    Our time for a showdown is later.
[11:18] ---
    Tsubasa decides to make a pass!
[11:20] ---
    What?!
[11:22] ---
    The ball goes to Misaki!
[11:25] ---
    -Stop him!
    -Yeah!
[11:27] ---
    It's no good!
[11:28] ---
    They won't let me
    easily slip past anymore.
[11:30] ---
    Tsubasa!
[11:32] ---
    Misaki passes the ball back to Tsubasa!
[11:36] ---
    Hyuga! Tsubasa, pass it to Hyuga!
[11:41] ---
    Takeshi.
[11:42] ---
    Hyuga's a gifted striker.
[11:45] ---
    But he's got more
    than just natural talent.
[11:47] ---
    Before the national tournament,
[11:49] ---
    Hyuga underwent extreme training
    in Okinawa with Coach Kira
[11:52] ---
    so that he could defeat
    Nankatsu and Tsubasa.
[11:56] ---
    He created his Tiger Shot,
    which allowed Toho to get a V1.
[12:00] ---
    And now, he's aiming to become a striker
    who can compete on the world stage.
[12:04] ---
    Since coming here,
    he's been training with that
[12:07] ---
    extra heavy black ball
    that Coach Kira sent.
[12:12] ---
    That's why it has to be Hyuga.
[12:14] ---
    Japan needs Hyuga's abilities
    to even the score!
[12:19] ---
    Tsubasa is already well aware of that.
[12:23] ---
    Misugi.
[12:24] ---
    But right now, Argentina has set up
    the perfect defensive shift.
[12:29] ---
    Hyuga won't have an opening unless we can
    minimize his chances of getting marked.
[12:34] ---
    Yeah.
[12:36] ---
    Bring it on, Number 10!
[12:37] ---
    You'll never score
    unless you can get past me!
[12:41] ---
    Go ahead, keep talking.
[12:44] ---
    This guy...
[12:45] ---
    I'm going in.
[12:47] ---
    Matsuyama! You're gonna try overlapping?!
[12:50] ---
    That didn't work in the match
    against Italy and we lost a point.
[12:53] ---
    So what? You expect us to sit around
    twiddling our thumbs?!
[12:57] ---
    We defenders can do more than defense!
[13:01] ---
    Matsuyama.
[13:03] ---
    What's this? Matsuyama is stepping in!
[13:06] ---
    Matsuyama!
[13:08] ---
    All right!
[13:09] ---
    Tsubasa makes a pass and go!
[13:12] ---
    He passes the ball to Matsuyama
[13:13] ---
    and runs towards
    the opposing team's side of the field!
[13:16] ---
    What will you do, Diaz?
[13:17] ---
    Will you come after me?
[13:19] ---
    Or will you...
[13:21] ---
    All right!
[13:25] ---
    If I wasn't facing Number 10,
    this should be easy!
[13:27] ---
    I'll steal the ball
    and score a fifth point!
[13:30] ---
    Diaz is following Matsuyama.
[13:32] ---
    And I'm being marked after
    running towards the goal.
[13:35] ---
    But this means that Hyuga
    is less likely to be marked.
[13:38] ---
    All that's left is Matsuyama...
[13:40] ---
    We're counting on him
    to hold onto the ball!
[13:43] ---
    It's a one-on-one match
    between Matsuyama and Diaz!
[13:47] ---
    It'll be all right, Matsuyama!
[13:49] ---
    We'll be defending while you're away!
[13:52] ---
    If he takes the ball, don't worry!
[13:55] ---
    Guys...
[13:56] ---
    And also...
[13:58] ---
    Tsubasa trusted me enough
    to pass me the ball.
[14:02] ---
    Diaz.
[14:04] ---
    I may not be the most talented, but
    when it comes to holding onto the ball,
[14:07] ---
    I, Hikaru Matsuyama,
[14:09] ---
    can fight just as hard
    as Japan's soccer genius, Tsubasa Ozora!
[14:15] ---
    It's mine!
[14:16] ---
    And nobody can beat my fight and grit!
[14:21] ---
    What?!
[14:22] ---
    Incredible, Matsuyama blocked the ball
    with his knee and kept him from taking it!
[14:26] ---
    Here you go, Tsubasa!
[14:32] ---
    I leave the rest to you!
[14:34] ---
    Knock it into Argentina's goal
    one more time!
[14:38] ---
    It's Matsuyama's
    Crawling Eagle Shot Pass!
[14:41] ---
    He's passing it to Tsubasa!
[14:43] ---
    No way!
[14:44] ---
    Thank you, Matsuyama.
[14:46] ---
    I promise not to waste this pass!
[14:50] ---
    Take it, Hyuga!
[14:51] ---
    This is Tsubasa's Drop Kick Pass!
[14:55] ---
    A final pass to Hyuga,
    who's running in front of the goal!
[14:59] ---
    Let's block him!
[15:00] ---
    Hyuga!
[15:01] ---
    We're counting on you to score, Hyuga!
[15:04] ---
    If I can't make this...
[15:06] ---
    then I'm not an ace striker!
[15:09] ---
    Hyuga trained with that
    infamous black ball from Coach Kira.
[15:12] ---
    But it didn't just strengthen
    his Tiger Shot.
[15:18] ---
    It enhanced his agility, running speed,
    and even his jumping height.
[15:24] ---
    With these three strengths, this truly is
    Kojiro Hyuga's... Fierce Tiger Charge!
[15:30] ---
    Break your way into Argentina's goal!
[15:33] ---
    This is Hyuga's Tiger Diving Header!
[15:39] ---
    Goal!
[15:41] ---
    Japan has once again evened the score!
[15:44] ---
    Hyuga!
[15:45] ---
    Hyuga!
[15:46] ---
    Tsubasa provides assistance
    as Hyuga scores!
[15:50] ---
    This is the second time this match
    that these two have teamed up!
[15:53] ---
    And helping them out
    was their defender, Matsuyama!
[15:57] ---
    We're caught up, Hyuga!
[15:59] ---
    Yeah, this is where
    the real challenge begins!
[16:02] ---
    Yeah!
[16:03] ---
    Nice job, Tsubasa and Kojiro!
[16:06] ---
    Nice play, Matsuyama!
[16:09] ---
    Yeah!
[16:10] ---
    We're 19 minutes into the second half,
    Japan Junior Youth is once again tied!
[16:14] ---
    This truly is a battle of ups and downs!
[16:16] ---
    Who knows which way it'll go?!
[16:18] ---
    It isn't just Number 10.
[16:20] ---
    Number 12's ability to hold onto the ball.
[16:23] ---
    Number 9's powerful shot
    in front of the goal.
[16:27] ---
    They've improved a lot
    since their game against Germany.
[16:31] ---
    All right!
[16:32] ---
    Tsubasa passed the ball to Matsuyama
    because he knew
[16:36] ---
    how good he is at holding onto it.
[16:39] ---
    That's what allowed us to get that point.
[16:41] ---
    Tsubasa's really something!
[16:43] ---
    Sawada, Misugi.
[16:46] ---
    Get warmed up. One of you
    will be going in for the finale.
[16:49] ---
    O-Okay.
[16:52] ---
    Misugi.
[16:54] ---
    Misugi.
[16:57] ---
    Okay!
[17:01] ---
    Diaz.
[17:03] ---
    Those guys just don't give up.
[17:05] ---
    We're not fighting simply against
    the Asian country of Japan.
[17:10] ---
    We're fighting against Japan, a country
    that wants to win just like us.
[17:14] ---
    Let's fight guts with guts!
[17:17] ---
    If they go all out, we go all out!
[17:19] ---
    Yeah!
[17:20] ---
    Got it, Diaz!
[17:23] ---
    Tsubasa.
[17:25] ---
    You've really improved, haven't you?
[17:27] ---
    The Tsubasa I know is Tsubasa the forward.
[17:31] ---
    Captain Tsubasa, who's not only
[17:32] ---
    an excellent scorer,
    but a player who lifts up his teammates.
[17:36] ---
    You've become a player
[17:38] ---
    who leads by bringing out his teammates'
    unique strengths and abilities.
[17:44] ---
    In that message I left you,
    I told you to become a midfielder.
[17:51] ---
    You managed to do that and more,
    you far exceeded my expectations,
[17:56] ---
    and became an exceptional midfielder.
[18:00] ---
    Even without me, you're...
[18:04] ---
    Ten minutes left.
[18:06] ---
    To advance to the top four,
    Argentina can get by with a draw.
[18:10] ---
    But Japan needs a victory here
    to move forward.
[18:17] ---
    Let's go, everyone!
[18:19] ---
    Yeah!
[18:20] ---
    Argentina isn't interested in a draw.
[18:22] ---
    They're going for points to win!
[18:25] ---
    What a battle we have here folks!
[18:27] ---
    Naturally, Diaz is at the center
    of their offense!
[18:31] ---
    Japan is marking Diaz with Tsubasa!
[18:35] ---
    Diaz presses on
    despite Tsubasa's fierce marking!
[18:40] ---
    Juan Diaz truly is a genius!
[18:42] ---
    There!
[18:44] ---
    Tsubasa makes a desperate slide!
[18:46] ---
    The ball is loose!
[18:48] ---
    Kick it, Pascal!
[18:51] ---
    Get in there!
[18:52] ---
    Pascal makes a shoot!
[18:54] ---
    Goalie Wakashimazu makes a diving catch!
[18:58] ---
    All right!
[18:59] ---
    Get out there, everyone!
[19:02] ---
    Now it's Japan's turn on the offense!
[19:04] ---
    The ball goes to Misaki!
[19:08] ---
    Every time Japan scored a point,
    this guy was assisting.
[19:13] ---
    In that case...
[19:16] ---
    Diaz!
[19:18] ---
    Well hello there, Number 10.
[19:19] ---
    Whoa, this time, Diaz is marking Tsubasa!
[19:24] ---
    Misaki will be
    the alternate playmaker for Japan.
[19:27] ---
    We're counting on you, Misaki!
[19:29] ---
    There!
[19:31] ---
    What?!
[19:32] ---
    Misaki makes an exquisite pass to Hyuga,
    who ran behind the opposing defense.
[19:38] ---
    Nice, Misaki!
[19:39] ---
    Take this!
[19:41] ---
    He's making yet another pass!
[19:42] ---
    Hyuga holds off on making a shot
    and kicks the ball in front of the goal!
[19:46] ---
    Stop him!
[19:47] ---
    Block his shot!
[19:49] ---
    All right!
[19:51] ---
    There!
[19:52] ---
    Nitta makes a back pass!
[19:55] ---
    The ball heads towards Sano.
[19:57] ---
    Get in!
[19:58] ---
    And he takes a shot!
[20:00] ---
    So close!
[20:01] ---
    What a save by Galtoni!
[20:03] ---
    -Crap!
    -Nice job, Goalie!
[20:06] ---
    Let's do this!
[20:07] ---
    Argentina has the ball once again!
[20:10] ---
    It's back and forth
    with these teams, folks!
[20:13] ---
    Diaz is marking Tsubasa
    who has four assists.
[20:17] ---
    It's going to be difficult
    to score any points.
[20:20] ---
    If we want to win with Hyuga,
    who's already scored two goals...
[20:24] ---
    Should I throw in Sawada?
[20:28] ---
    Or perhaps...
[20:31] ---
    You can do it, Argentina!
[20:33] ---
    One more point, Diaz!
[20:35] ---
    Don't lose, Japan!
[20:36] ---
    Just one more point!
[20:38] ---
    Both teams' cheering squads
    are cheering their hearts out!
[20:42] ---
    This battle has the stadium going wild
    with excitement!
[20:47] ---
    Only five minutes left. This is it!
[20:50] ---
    The aces and captains of both teams
    have marked one another
[20:53] ---
    and are unable
    to find an opportunity to score!
[20:56] ---
    Diaz!
[20:57] ---
    I won't lose, Number 10!
[20:59] ---
    The other players
    aren't backing down, either!
[21:02] ---
    What a clash of fighting spirit!
[21:05] ---
    All right.
[21:08] ---
    The ball goes into the sideline
    and is handed to Argentina.
[21:13] ---
    What's this?
[21:14] ---
    It appears that Japan
    is changing their lineup.
[21:19] ---
    In place of Number 18 Nitta,
[21:22] ---
    with Number 24 on his back...
[21:28] ---
    Misugi!
[21:29] ---
    Jun Misugi is going in!
[21:32] ---
    You can do it, Misugi!
[21:34] ---
    Yeah!
[21:35] ---
    The Glass Ace...
[21:37] ---
    The Young Noble of the Field, Jun Misugi!
[21:39] ---
    Could he be Japan's secret weapon?
[21:43] ---
    Misugi never played in the goodwill match
[21:45] ---
    when Team Japan went on tour,
    or even in this tournament.
[21:49] ---
    But in the match against Argentina,
[21:51] ---
    he's standing on the stadium field
    for the first time!
[21:55] ---
    Misugi!
[21:57] ---
    Misugi!
[21:58] ---
    Misugi!
[22:00] ---
    Tsubasa, I'm finally
    standing on the pitch with you.
