[00:00] ---
    It appears that Japan
    is changing their lineup.
[00:03] ---
    They're replacing Nitta with Misugi.
[00:08] ---
    Misugi.
[00:10] ---
    Not as a player, but as a coach.
[00:13] ---
    A coach?
[00:14] ---
    We of course know
    you have great skill as a player,
[00:17] ---
    but you also have a heart condition.
[00:22] ---
    That said, you not only have
    a superior soccer sense,
[00:26] ---
    but you have a gift for seeing the world
    with calmness and objectivity.
[00:29] ---
    We'd like you to put those talents to
    good use as a coach by guiding the team,
[00:33] ---
    building on their strengths,
    and working their weaknesses.
[00:36] ---
    Misugi.
[00:37] ---
    I haven't given up on my dream
[00:40] ---
    of wearing a Team Japan uniform
    and standing on the pitch.
[00:43] ---
    Misugi.
[00:45] ---
    Misugi?
[00:47] ---
    He's been on the team as a coach,
[00:50] ---
    but I've enrolled him
    as a player for this tournament.
[00:52] ---
    Hi, guys.
[00:55] ---
    The Glass Ace, The Young Noble
    of the Field, Jun Misugi.
[00:58] ---
    Could he be Japan's secret weapon?
[01:02] ---
    He's been accompanying the team
    as a coach,
[01:05] ---
    but Misugi never played when Team Japan
    went on tour, or in this tournament.
[01:10] ---
    But in this match against Argentina, he's
    standing on the pitch for the first time.
[01:24] ---

[02:47] ---
    EPISODE 17
    THE YOUNG NOBLE OF THE FIELD RETURNS!!
[02:50] ---
    Welcome home, darling.
[02:52] ---
    Will Jun really be playing in the match?
[02:55] ---
    Yes, he went in just now.
[02:58] ---
    Oh, that's fantastic.
[03:02] ---
    Jun.
[03:04] ---
    Dear Manager, how are things?
[03:08] ---
    I've been doing well.
[03:09] ---
    I've accompanied the team
    to Europe as a coach.
[03:14] ---
    Of course, being in the birthplace
    of soccer, I've had a lot to learn.
[03:19] ---
    So far, I've watched Team Japan's matches
    from the bench,
[03:24] ---
    but I've no intention
    of remaining a soccer coach.
[03:28] ---
    As soon as I get the chance,
    I'll be out there on the field.
[03:34] ---
    We're counting on you, Misugi.
[03:36] ---
    Okay. I've got you covered, Nitta.
[03:41] ---
    It's been a stalemate, folks.
[03:43] ---
    Will Japan Junior Youth be able
    to break the impasse with Misugi?
[03:49] ---
    We're counting on you, Misugi.
[03:51] ---
    During our matches,
    you may have been a coach,
[03:55] ---
    but I know in your heart you've been busy
    mapping out your plays as one of the team.
[04:00] ---
    Jun Misugi. Everyone on the team
    recognizes your great talent.
[04:05] ---
    Use this coaching experience
    to open up a path to victory.
[04:13] ---
    It's been three years, hasn't it, Tsubasa?
[04:17] ---
    Just as I promised, I'm finally
    standing on the pitch with you.
[04:23] ---
    Yes, I remember it well, Misugi.
[04:27] ---
    Nice to meet you.
    I'm Misugi from Musashi FC.
[04:31] ---
    I'm Tsubasa Ozora. Nice to meet you.
[04:33] ---
    I look forward to our match.
[04:36] ---
    MUSASHI FC
[04:36] ---
    Musashi FC is the undisputed leader
    of the Kanto region.
[04:40] ---
    Their regulars are an elite team selected
    from over a thousand candidates.
[04:43] ---
    The stand out
    is their ace and captain, Jun Misugi.
[04:49] ---
    His technique far exceeds
    the typical grade schooler,
[04:52] ---
    and his elegant playing style
    allows for not the slightest
[04:54] ---
    physical contact by his opponents.
[04:56] ---
    It's why he's called "The Young Noble
    of the Field," right, Coach?
[04:59] ---
    I see.
[05:00] ---
    Yeah but he hasn't played
    in a single match this tournament.
[05:05] ---
    Is he injured or something?
[05:07] ---
    Well, no one knows why,
[05:09] ---
    but Misugi is known
    for hardly ever playing in matches.
[05:13] ---
    Tsubasa. Tsubasa, please.
[05:16] ---
    Let our captain win.
[05:18] ---
    The truth is our captain has a weak heart
    and can't play soccer anymore.
[05:23] ---
    He can't play soccer?
[05:27] ---
    His doctor told him to stop,
[05:29] ---
    but he insists on playing
    until the end of the tournament.
[05:33] ---
    So that's why he hasn't played.
[05:35] ---
    The only other people who know
    are coach and me.
[05:39] ---
    Welcome to the second match
    of the semi-finals.
[05:41] ---
    It's Nankatsu SC versus Musashi FC.
[05:43] ---
    Let's welcome the players
    as they step onto the field.
[05:49] ---
    Misugi!
[05:51] ---
    Jun!
[05:54] ---
    I shouldn't wait for the ball
    to come to me.
[05:56] ---
    In that case...
[05:59] ---
    What's this? Misugi doesn't make
    a pass and waits for Tsubasa.
[06:04] ---
    Tsubasa.
[06:05] ---
    Is this a show of confidence
    in holding onto the ball?
[06:08] ---
    Tsubasa, I've been waiting
    for this moment. Our one-on-one showdown.
[06:14] ---
    That ball is mine.
[06:17] ---
    He strong-arms his way in.
[06:25] ---
    Misugi.
[06:26] ---
    Tsubasa, make a fast break!
[06:28] ---
    Okay.
[06:30] ---
    What's this? Tsubasa has come to mark him.
[06:33] ---
    This will be their second showdown.
[06:37] ---
    Tsubasa, you know about my heart?
[06:40] ---
    What?
[06:43] ---
    So you do know, Tsubasa.
[06:45] ---
    Hold on.
    The ball is headed towards Misugi.
[06:49] ---
    Tsubasa, I'll show you that you're not
    the only one who can do that.
[06:58] ---
    Oh no, that's...
[06:59] ---
    I-Incredible.
[07:01] ---
    He's done it!
[07:02] ---
    Now Misugi makes the Overhead Kick.
[07:09] ---
    It cuts through the air
    like a knife through butter.
[07:13] ---
    Musashi once again leads by a point.
[07:17] ---
    This match belongs to Musashi...
    No, Misaki's controlling the pace.
[07:22] ---
    I'll do it.
[07:25] ---
    I'll get us those two points.
[07:29] ---
    Amazing! Tsubasa's using
    the moisture on the pitch to slide.
[07:31] ---
    He's sliding faster
    than the Musashi players can run.
[07:34] ---
    What?
[07:35] ---
    And what's this?
[07:36] ---
    He's getting ready to shoot as he slides.
[07:41] ---
    It's in, the score is tied!
[07:43] ---
    Tsubasa takes advantage of the wet field
    with his Sliding Shot.
[07:46] ---
    SIXTH ANNUAL NATIONAL YOUTH SOCCER TOURNAMENT
    FINALS TOURNAMENT SEMI-FINALS SECOND MATCH
[07:47] ---
    We finally caught up.
[07:49] ---
    You did it, Tsubasa.
[07:51] ---
    Looks like the rainy field
    is your friend, too.
[07:56] ---
    Wh-What's this?
[07:59] ---
    Misugi, captain of Musashi FC,
[08:02] ---
    seems to have collapsed
    and is clutching his chest.
[08:05] ---
    Misugi.
[08:06] ---
    Tsubasa has cleared the ball.
[08:08] ---
    But Misugi makes a desperate block.
[08:12] ---
    Incredible. The ball soars above them!
[08:20] ---
    My eyes.
[08:21] ---
    Clear it. I've got to clear it.
[08:26] ---
    The ball... My ball...
[08:29] ---
    The ball. Where's the ball?
[08:32] ---
    Where did the ball go?
[08:35] ---
    Captain! The ball is in front of you
    to the right!
[08:40] ---
    I see it. I can see it.
[08:43] ---
    My ball.
[08:47] ---
    It's right here.
[08:48] ---
    Misugi's shot is a split second faster.
[08:51] ---
    Morisaki can't catch it.
[08:53] ---
    He made it in!
[08:54] ---
    Misugi was truly determined
    to make this goal.
[08:57] ---
    Here I go, Misugi!
[09:05] ---
    Tsubasa has made an incredibly long shot.
[09:08] ---
    Go! The ball will move
    way faster on the wet pitch.
[09:12] ---
    It'll be the goalie's worst nightmare.
[09:14] ---
    Oh no, Tazawa can't reach it.
[09:17] ---
    But Misugi is coming.
[09:22] ---
    Misugi was just one step short
    of reaching it.
[09:27] ---
    Tsubasa.
[09:29] ---
    I won't give up soccer, after all.
[09:34] ---
    Even if I can only play for a minute
    or two, I swear I will stand on the field.
[09:40] ---
    And someday,
    I'll beat this heart condition.
[09:44] ---
    Misugi.
[09:47] ---
    We'll once again have our face-off
    when you're better.
[09:52] ---
    That's what we promised, right?
[09:54] ---
    Yeah.
[09:55] ---
    Though right now, we're playing
    for Team Japan. The same team.
[10:03] ---
    Everyone, I know you all must be tired
    at the end of the match,
[10:06] ---
    but let's stay focused
    in this last five minutes.
[10:09] ---
    If we can do that,
    I know we'll find a way to victory.
[10:13] ---
    Okay!
[10:14] ---
    Argentina may be strong,
    but we've got spirit to spare.
[10:18] ---
    That's right.
[10:22] ---
    And we're back
    with a throw-in by Argentina.
[10:25] ---
    Argentina would like Diaz to get the ball,
    but Tsubasa is marking him closely.
[10:32] ---
    Diaz has that Number 10 marking him.
[10:34] ---
    In that case...
[10:37] ---
    Wow. Pascal is dribbling the ball
    by himself.
[10:40] ---
    All right. Go, Pascal.
[10:42] ---
    -All right, I'll go.
    -Misugi.
[10:45] ---
    Misugi, who was just swapped onto
    Team Japan, is going in to intercept him.
[10:49] ---
    An opening.
[10:51] ---
    This guy only just entered,
    so he can't keep up with our speed.
[10:56] ---
    Right here!
[10:57] ---
    -All right.
    -You got past him, Pascal.
[10:59] ---
    He got past Misugi.
[11:02] ---
    What?
[11:03] ---
    Pascal.
[11:04] ---
    Nice one, Misugi.
[11:06] ---
    He lured Pascal in by deliberately
    creating an opening.
[11:10] ---
    All right, let's go, everyone.
    Time to make a fast break.
[11:13] ---
    Yeah!
[11:14] ---
    Team Japan has stolen the ball back.
[11:17] ---
    It's time for a counterattack.
[11:19] ---
    You really are something, Misugi.
[11:22] ---
    During the national tournament
    in grade school,
[11:24] ---
    Tsubasa and the rest of us were
    defenseless against your incredible plays.
[11:28] ---
    Misugi cuts in.
[11:30] ---
    Nankatsu is unable to get the first point.
[11:35] ---
    Let's do this, Tsubasa.
[11:37] ---
    All right.
[11:38] ---
    Wow, Tsubasa has caught up with him.
[11:43] ---
    But Misugi jumps out of the way.
[11:46] ---
    Let's go, everyone.
    Follow Misugi's lead!
[11:49] ---
    I may've just stepped onto the field,
[11:52] ---
    but I've been playing this match
    on the bench from the starting whistle.
[11:56] ---
    I've studied all of Argentina's moves.
[12:00] ---
    Ruggeri, the defensive midfielder,
    has agility, but his sidesteps are slow.
[12:07] ---
    Palus, the right midfielder.
[12:10] ---
    He's a utility player
    with excellent defense and offense,
[12:13] ---
    but this late in the game
    he'll be out of juice.
[12:15] ---
    What?
[12:16] ---
    Damn it.
[12:17] ---
    Jeites, the left midfielder.
[12:19] ---
    His height makes him
    a great cornerstone in the midfield.
[12:21] ---
    He excels at mid-air battle,
    but that also leaves his feet vulnerable.
[12:26] ---
    Oh, Misugi is evading
    his opponents one after another.
[12:30] ---
    He's closing in on Argentina's goal.
[12:34] ---
    Th-This guy.
[12:36] ---
    Crap.
[12:37] ---
    Sembero, the center back.
[12:38] ---
    He's got technique
    and his attacks are strong, but...
[12:43] ---
    He won't hit me.
[12:45] ---
    What?
[12:46] ---
    Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
    What a magnificent play!
[12:50] ---
    We are witnessing the work of Jun Misugi,
    the Young Noble of the Field.
[12:51] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[12:53] ---
    
[12:57] ---
    BIRTH DATE JUNE 23 / HEIGHT 169 CM
    WEIGHT 57 KG / BLOOD TYPE A
[13:00] ---
    We are witnessing the work of Jun Misugi,
    the Young Noble of the Field.
[13:06] ---
    Such incredible technique.
[13:08] ---
    I had no idea Japan has someone like him.
[13:11] ---
    That impressive dribbling
    is just like Pierre's.
[13:15] ---
    Who is that guy?
[13:16] ---
    I remember it
    like it was yesterday, Misugi.
[13:20] ---
    That rainy semi-final in Japan.
[13:22] ---
    You were already playing as a midfielder,
    just as Tsubasa is now.
[13:28] ---
    Tsubasa is running in front of the goal,
    and he isn't marked at all.
[13:35] ---
    Tsubasa.
[13:37] ---
    Will Misaki make this long pass?
[13:40] ---
    He made it.
[13:41] ---
    Tsubasa is in front of the goal unmarked.
[13:44] ---
    Take this.
[13:47] ---
    He made it in!
[13:48] ---
    All right.
[13:49] ---
    Nankatsu easily turns the tables.
[13:52] ---
    This is incredible.
[13:55] ---
    Wh-What's this?
    The linesman is raising a flag.
[13:59] ---
    It's an offside call.
[14:01] ---
    -What?
    -Offside.
[14:04] ---
    Unbelievable. Musashi has mastered
    the offside trap.
[14:09] ---
    Even in grade school, you were able
    to bend the match to your will.
[14:15] ---
    Your talent for soccer
    is truly immeasurable.
[14:17] ---
    Stop him! Stop that guy!
[14:19] ---
    Misugi was just swapped into the match.
[14:22] ---
    Team Japan's trump card
[14:24] ---
    is using his amazing skill
    to cut into Argentina's territory.
[14:28] ---
    Jun.
[14:30] ---
    Jun has struggled
    with this heart condition his whole life.
[14:34] ---
    It's kept him from playing all out,
    and from playing full matches.
[14:39] ---
    He's gone through
    some tough times because of it.
[14:41] ---
    But ever since middle school,
    he's been doing physical therapy.
[14:45] ---
    OIZUMI GENERAL HOSPITAL
[14:46] ---
    All right, you should be fine.
[14:48] ---
    R-Really?
[14:50] ---
    You mean, I can play
    in a soccer match again?
[14:55] ---
    The determination and hard work you put
    into soccer has left me with no choice.
[14:59] ---
    I give you permission
    to enter the tournament.
[15:02] ---
    Yes! Oh my gosh, yes!
[15:04] ---
    Congratulations, Captain.
[15:06] ---
    Manager.
[15:08] ---
    Thank you for taking care of things
    for me for the past two years.
[15:13] ---
    It's because of you
    that I can play in another match.
[15:17] ---
    Oh. Sorry.
[15:20] ---
    It's okay.
[15:22] ---
    You were able to play again
    as a third year student.
[15:29] ---
    There's the whistle to end the match.
[15:32] ---
    Toho Academy
[15:33] ---
    will be going to the national tournament
    for the third year in a row.
[15:40] ---
    All right.
[15:43] ---
    We were so close, weren't we, Misugi?
[15:45] ---
    Yes.
[15:47] ---
    After three years, I wasn't able
    to go up against Tsubasa, but...
[15:53] ---
    You weren't able to enter
    the national tournament, but...
[15:57] ---
    I know.
[15:58] ---
    Even after you were selected as a coach
    for Team Japan, you continued practicing.
[16:06] ---
    That's why you can do it, Jun.
[16:09] ---
    I won't let you go any further.
[16:12] ---
    Misugi makes a pass.
[16:15] ---
    The ball goes to Tsubasa.
[16:16] ---
    He's being marked by Diaz.
[16:19] ---
    Here, Misugi.
[16:20] ---
    He immediately returns it to Misugi.
[16:23] ---
    Misaki.
[16:24] ---
    Misugi now passes it to Misaki.
[16:26] ---
    -I'll stop you.
    -Here, Misugi.
[16:28] ---
    What's this?
    Misugi, who was just swapped in,
[16:31] ---
    is performing magnificent pass work
    with Tsubasa and Misaki.
[16:34] ---
    Here, Hyuga.
[16:35] ---
    Misugi passed it to Hyuga
    in front of the goal.
[16:39] ---
    Misugi.
[16:41] ---
    Tokyo's preliminary final
    for this year's national tournament...
[16:44] ---
    Twenty minutes into the first half,
    and Misugi is being sent in.
[16:49] ---
    You, the Glass Ace, nearly crushed me
    with your stunning technique.
[16:56] ---
    -There.
    -What?
[16:58] ---
    I'll get rid of you
    with some dribbling speed.
[17:02] ---
    Now.
[17:04] ---
    Misaki hits his target
    with a sliding tackle.
[17:08] ---
    Soccer isn't an individual sport.
[17:10] ---
    Team play is important, too, Hyuga.
[17:12] ---
    You jerk.
[17:14] ---
    I refuse to lose here.
[17:17] ---
    What?
[17:19] ---
    What a surprise.
[17:20] ---
    He shakes off the defender,
    but doesn't make a pass.
[17:22] ---
    He's heading straight to the goal
    all by himself.
[17:25] ---
    No. He outsmarted us.
[17:30] ---
    He made it in. It's 3 to 1!
[17:34] ---
    Crap.
[17:35] ---
    I can't shake him.
[17:36] ---
    What's going on? I'll get past him!
[17:40] ---
    I'll stop...
[17:44] ---
    Misugi.
[17:45] ---
    Captain.
[17:46] ---
    Misugi.
[17:47] ---
    Misugi.
[17:48] ---
    Wait, what's happened to Misugi?
[17:51] ---
    He stumbled towards Hyuga and collapsed.
[17:55] ---
    Everyone...
[18:00] ---
    What?
[18:05] ---
    Sometime while playing against you,
    I lost my edge.
[18:08] ---
    I realized that I had become too lenient.
[18:13] ---
    Coach Kira.
[18:15] ---
    The victory flag, huh?
[18:17] ---
    You seem pretty proud
    of yourself, don't you?
[18:22] ---
    You're just a toothless tiger in a cage.
[18:29] ---
    A toothless tiger...
[18:33] ---
    If I hadn't had that match against you,
[18:35] ---
    I would've never gone to Okinawa
    to seek out harsh training.
[18:39] ---
    And I never would have perfected
    my Tiger Shot.
[18:42] ---
    Misugi centers the ball by passing it
    to Hyuga, but Pasaro goes after it.
[18:47] ---
    Jun Misugi, if it weren't
    for your heart condition,
[18:52] ---
    you might have become
    the top player in Japan.
[18:57] ---
    He makes a return pass to Misugi.
[19:00] ---
    Is Misugi going to make a shot
    in front of the goal?
[19:03] ---
    Misugi.
[19:04] ---
    Misugi.
[19:06] ---
    I won't let you.
[19:07] ---
    But Galvan of Argentina
    has gone to block his shot.
[19:13] ---
    Misugi quickly switches to a pass.
[19:16] ---
    It goes to Tsubasa.
[19:17] ---
    Tsubasa is closing in on it.
[19:20] ---
    Nice pass, Misugi.
[19:22] ---
    Tsubasa has been focusing on assists,
[19:25] ---
    but here we have
    his Running Jumping Volley Shot.
[19:27] ---
    You're not doing anything.
[19:29] ---
    What's this?
    Diaz shows up once again.
[19:32] ---
    He flips forward to block Tsubasa's shot.
[19:34] ---
    Team Japan is unable to make the shot
    that would turn the game around.
[19:37] ---
    -Tsubasa.
    -I-It's no good.
[19:41] ---
    What?
[19:43] ---
    Misugi may have anticipated
    that Diaz would block the shot.
[19:47] ---
    He leaps at the loose ball
    faster than anyone.
[19:50] ---
    Misugi!
[19:52] ---
    Th-That's...
[19:53] ---
    That's right.
[19:54] ---
    We know how hard Misugi was working
    to support Team Japan as our coach.
[20:00] ---
    And just how amazing of a player he is.
[20:03] ---
    And also, his frustration
    at being unable to stand on the field.
[20:07] ---
    Do it, Misugi!
[20:09] ---
    I'm going to make it in.
[20:11] ---
    In order for Team Japan to win,
    I have to make it in.
[20:15] ---
    For my coach who believed in me
    and for everyone who gave it their all.
[20:20] ---
    And most importantly, for myself.
[20:24] ---
    Get in there!
[20:26] ---
    There it is! Misugi's brilliant dance!
[20:28] ---
    It's an Overhead Kick!
[20:37] ---
    He's done it!
[20:38] ---
    Misugi's Overhead Shot flies straight into
    the right corner of Argentina's goal.
[20:44] ---
    The tables have turned!
[20:45] ---
    Team Japan has taken their first
    one point lead in this match.
[20:49] ---
    This point is critical
    for them to get into the top four.
[20:52] ---
    I did it!
[20:54] ---
    You did it Misaki.
[20:56] ---
    You really are a genius, Jun Misugi.
[20:59] ---
    Yes! We've turned the game around!
[21:01] ---
    It's 5 to 4.
[21:03] ---
    At two minutes
    before the end of the match,
[21:04] ---
    Japan Junior Youth
    has finally turned things around.
[21:07] ---
    It was all Misugi, who was sent in
    only 25 minutes into the second half.
[21:11] ---
    Team Japan has made
    an incredible change to their lineup.
[21:17] ---
    What an Overhead Shot.
[21:20] ---
    Adding some spin with the jump
[21:22] ---
    made it curve sharply
    right before hurtling into the goal.
[21:24] ---
    This is Misugi's
    one-of a-kind Overhead Shot.
[21:28] ---
    Japan had one more genius
    and his name is Jun Misugi.
[21:31] ---
    After overcoming
    his heart condition, he's back.
[21:35] ---
    That incredible goal
    was absolutely crucial to victory.
[21:39] ---
    Jun, that was amazing.
[21:42] ---
    Supporting him
    was another genius, Tsubasa.
[21:47] ---
    He's made imposing assists that involved
    every point scored in this match.
[21:51] ---
    This is a continuation of the Italy match.
[21:53] ---
    Team Japan is once again the big upset.
[21:57] ---
    You can't be an upset twice in a row.
[22:01] ---
    Make no mistake, we just witnessed
    the true capabilities of Team Japan.
