[00:02] ---
    Misugi!
[00:04] ---
    That's right.
[00:05] ---
    We know how hard Misugi was working
    to support Team Japan as our coach.
[00:10] ---
    And just how amazing of a player he is.
[00:14] ---
    And also, his frustration
    at being unable to stand on the field.
[00:17] ---
    Do it, Misugi!
[00:20] ---
    I'm going to make it in.
[00:21] ---
    In order for Team Japan to win,
    I have to make it in.
[00:25] ---
    Get in there!
[00:27] ---
    He's done it!
[00:29] ---
    Misugi's Overhead Shot flies straight into
    the right corner of Argentina's goal.
[00:34] ---
    The tables have turned!
[00:35] ---
    Team Japan has taken their first
    one point lead in this match.

    EPISODE 18
    THE TOP FOUR ASSEMBLE!
[02:15] ---
    D-Diaz.
[02:19] ---
    We've got two, no,
    one and a half minutes left.
[02:23] ---
    But we're not giving up until it's over.
[02:27] ---
    Diaz!
[02:29] ---
    Let's concentrate, guys.
[02:32] ---
    With two minutes to go,
    they'll come at us with all they've got.
[02:36] ---
    Celebrate now,
    and they'll score in an instant.
[02:40] ---
    We need to keep pushing
    until the very end.
[02:42] ---
    Yeah!
[02:45] ---
    Thataway, Tsubasa. That's the mindset.
[02:48] ---
    Barely any time's left, but as soon as
    we let up they'll jump on the opportunity.
[02:52] ---
    Don't stop pushing
    until you hear the final whistle.
[02:57] ---
    Can Japan beat Argentina
    and make it to the semifinals?
[03:02] ---
    We will not lose, Number 10.
[03:05] ---
    The only ones going through
    to the semifinals are us, Team Argentina.
[03:10] ---
    Diaz.
[03:12] ---
    And we're back.
[03:16] ---
    Go!
[03:19] ---
    What?!
[03:20] ---
    He's gone for a direct shot.
[03:22] ---
    Wakashimazu!
[03:23] ---
    Oh and we got a Drive Shot!
[03:26] ---
    With so little time left,
    Diaz is aiming straight for the goal.
[03:35] ---
    H-He stopped it!
[03:37] ---
    He blocked it with his right hand
    and punched it away with his left!
[03:40] ---
    The Drive Shot is a no-go now
    against Wakashimazu.
[03:45] ---
    Let's go, guys.
[03:47] ---
    Yeah.
[03:48] ---
    Last attack by Argentina,
    everyone's on offense.
[03:52] ---
    Defend! Don't let them through!
[03:56] ---
    If they get a goal now,
    all our hard work will be for nothing.
[04:00] ---
    We have to clear it.
[04:01] ---
    We're not going to lose.
    We haven't given up yet.
[04:05] ---
    Argentina won't let Japan clear the ball.
[04:07] ---
    Argentina picks up the loose ball.
[04:09] ---
    Nice try, pal!
[04:11] ---
    Japan gets it back lickety-split.
[04:16] ---
    And right before the end of the game,
    a fierce battle unfolds on the Japan side.
[04:21] ---
    Keep going and take the shot!
[04:23] ---
    Defense! Clear it!
[04:25] ---
    Both teams have three points
[04:29] ---
    but Argentina has more points overall.
[04:32] ---
    Even a draw
    will take them to the semifinals.
[04:35] ---
    Who will be making it through
    is anyone's guess.
[04:40] ---
    Bring it in, Brown.
[04:42] ---
    Hit the ball into Japan's goal.
[04:45] ---
    All right!
[04:47] ---
    Nice, Misugi.
[04:49] ---
    Not so fast.
[04:52] ---
    Pascal gets it right back,
    and he brings it in.
[04:57] ---
    Matsuyama intercepts,
    but will he keep the ball?
[05:04] ---
    No, Diaz with a fierce tackle.
[05:09] ---
    Matsuyama can't hold on to it.
[05:11] ---
    Argentina with a last-ditch effort,
    and a final show of grit.
[05:15] ---
    Diaz the genius will not lose.
[05:18] ---
    No way am I losing!
[05:21] ---
    Diaz! Diaz! Diaz!
[05:25] ---
    And Diaz is marked by Tsubasa.
[05:28] ---
    Come at me, Diaz.
[05:30] ---
    Hang in there, Tsubasa!
[05:32] ---
    Tsubasa! Tsubasa!
[05:37] ---
    Oh! Pascal moves in front of Tsubasa.
[05:40] ---
    -Okay! Right here!
    -Now!
[05:45] ---
    Pascal returns Diaz's pass
    with a Diving Header.
[05:53] ---
    He can't go after Diaz now.
[05:56] ---
    Tsubasa.
[05:57] ---
    All right, I've lost Number 10's mark.
[06:01] ---
    Will Diaz take a shot?
[06:04] ---
    No way!
[06:05] ---
    -Block it!
    -All right.
[06:07] ---
    Come at me. I'll defend Japan to the end.
[06:11] ---
    Japan's defense builds a wall
    in front of Diaz to shut down the shot.
[06:17] ---
    Goalie Wakashimazu
    completely alone, awaits,
[06:20] ---
    but he doesn't have a shot from here.
[06:23] ---
    Guys.
[06:24] ---
    Diaz.
[06:25] ---
    With almost no time left,
    will Japan win this one?
[06:29] ---
    No wall on Earth is gonna stop me.
[06:33] ---
    And no one is gonna keep me from victory.
[06:37] ---
    I'm number one.
[06:40] ---
    I am Juan Diaz, the genius!
[06:48] ---
    With superb control,
    Diaz launches his Banana Shot.
[06:51] ---
    If it's in, that means a tie
    and the semifinals for Argentina.
[06:57] ---
    Go!
[06:59] ---
    Crap, I gotta get to it.
[07:02] ---
    No way.
[07:05] ---
    The ball is being pulled into the net.
[07:08] ---
    Jito!
[07:09] ---
    Ishizaki!
[07:14] ---
    -What?
    -Jito!
[07:16] ---
    Ishizaki!
[07:17] ---
    What's this? Jito and Ishizaki
    with a last second combo play.
[07:24] ---
    Ishizaki with a ball to the face!
[07:32] ---
    And that is the whistle to end the match!
[07:36] ---
    It's 5 to 4!
[07:37] ---
    Team Argentina with genius Diaz, was once
    pegged to win, but couldn't do it.
[07:43] ---
    W-We did it.
[07:44] ---
    We did it, Ishizaki.
[07:46] ---
    Ouch.
[07:48] ---
    We won, we won!
[07:50] ---
    Nice block, Ishizaki.
[07:52] ---
    This is a huge win for Japan Junior Youth.
[07:56] ---
    After a brutal match,
    they go to the semifinals
[07:57] ---
    in the first International Junior
    Youth Tournament here in France.
[08:02] ---
    Argentina first led by three this match,
[08:06] ---
    but in the end the score is 5-4,
    an impressive come-from-behind victory.
[08:10] ---
    Way to go, Misaki.
[08:12] ---
    Misaki.
[08:14] ---
    Are you okay, Ishizaki?
[08:17] ---
    The combination play by Jito and Ishizaki
    saved them from a tie.
[08:21] ---
    No biggie. We got the W.
[08:24] ---
    And then we have the man who defeated
    Diaz's Drive Shot, Wakashimazu.
[08:29] ---
    We won.
[08:30] ---
    And speaking of combination plays,
[08:32] ---
    let's not forget the Tachibana Twins'
    efforts who had to sit out due to injury.
[08:37] ---
    And Izawa and Sano, who swapped in
    for them fought hard and well.
[08:42] ---
    Misaki got the fourth point,
[08:44] ---
    and Misugi came in for the second half
    to contribute the winning goal.
[08:51] ---
    Taro.
[08:53] ---
    Then there's Matsuyama, who showed
[08:55] ---
    both strength and persistence
    in keeping the ball.
[08:57] ---
    And with two points this match, Hyuga
    has proven he is truly an ace striker.
[09:02] ---
    And last but not least, our star,
[09:05] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora, who as captain
    kept the team together
[09:08] ---
    and was integral to all points
    with five assists.
[09:18] ---
    Without a doubt Tsubasa was
    the driving force behind today's victory.
[09:24] ---
    The entire team
    is crowding around Captain Tsubasa.
[09:29] ---
    We did it, we're in the top four.
[09:31] ---
    The top four.
[09:33] ---
    We beat Italy and Argentina too.
[09:36] ---
    Let's keep this up,
    and we'll win this whole thing!
[09:40] ---
    That's right, if we can work together,
[09:44] ---
    our soccer, J Boys soccer,
    will have a place on the world stage.
[09:52] ---
    We lost. I lost.
[09:57] ---
    Diaz.
[10:01] ---
    Well, I guess that's a loss, guys.
[10:16] ---
    Juan Diaz, the man destined
    to be world number one,
[10:20] ---
    the first chapter
    of the legend is now tarnished.
[10:25] ---
    And that's all thanks
    to Number 10 from Japan.
[10:32] ---
    Hey, Number 10.
[10:35] ---
    Your name, you haven't told me yet.
[10:39] ---
    Tsubasa. Tsubasa Ozora.
[10:43] ---
    Tsubasa.
[10:45] ---
    I'll remember that name
    for the rest of my life.
[10:50] ---
    Thanks.
[10:52] ---
    Your uniform, will you swap with mine?
[10:55] ---
    It'd be my pleasure.
[10:59] ---
    You know, this reminds me of that match
    between Nankatsu and Toho.
[11:04] ---
    Yeah.
[11:05] ---
    This was certainly
    a memorable match for Diaz.
[11:14] ---
    I went after points aggressively.
[11:17] ---
    He calmly planned the match out
    and went after five assists.
[11:22] ---
    At this point, his skill
    as a midfielder exceeds mine.
[11:28] ---
    It pains me to say, but he's the best
    midfielder in the tournament.
[11:36] ---
    Good luck in the semifinals, and beyond.
[11:42] ---
    But I won't be the loser forever.
    I promise I'll get my payback.
[11:49] ---
    Remember that, Tsubasa.
[11:52] ---
    Juan Diaz. I've never met
    such an amazing opponent.
[11:57] ---
    There will always be someone better,
    and I've still got a long way to go.
[12:01] ---
    Today's win was a group effort.
[12:04] ---
    I may've made five assists,
    but I can't be satisfied with the match.
[12:11] ---
    I want to become a midfielder who can
    set up the game as well as score.
[12:17] ---
    I need to think about why
    I was unable to make a goal today.
[12:22] ---
    I'm sure Roberto
    would've told me the same.
[12:28] ---
    I know he was watching,
    and I know Roberto was here.
[12:36] ---
    Are you sure?
    You'll leave without seeing Tsubasa?
[12:47] ---
    Congratulations
    on making it to the semifinals.
[12:50] ---
    Thanks. But the next match
    is Japan versus France.
[12:55] ---
    We go up against Uruguay
    in the semifinals. And then...
[12:59] ---
    Our next opponent is Japan.
[13:01] ---
    They beat Italy and Argentina
    with skill, not luck.
[13:06] ---
    We have to take them seriously, Pierre.
[13:09] ---
    I know.
[13:12] ---
    But France Junior Youth will win.
[13:17] ---
    And I'll settle things with Misaki.
[13:25] ---
    Pierre.
[13:27] ---

    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC

[13:35] ---
    As soccer fans the world over watch,
[13:35] ---
    TEAM JAPAN TEARS IT UP! SEMIFINALS FOR
    THE FRENCH TOURNAMENT DECIDED
[13:38] ---
    the top four semifinalists of the first
    International Junior Youth Tournament
[13:42] ---
    in France have been decided.
[13:43] ---
    FIRST FRENCH INTERNATIONAL JUNIOR YOUTH
    TOURNAMENT SEMIFINALISTS DECIDED
[13:44] ---
    Let's look at what makes each team unique.
[13:48] ---
    First off from Europe, Team Germany.
[13:51] ---
    GERMANY
[13:53] ---
    They are the top contenders to win the
    tournament and led by Karl Heinz Schneider
[13:57] ---
    also known as the Emperor.
[13:59] ---
    A solid midfield has supported Schneider
[14:02] ---
    who has achieved a hat trick
    in every match so far.
[14:05] ---
    The individual players
    all play at a high level
[14:08] ---
    and the well balanced team
    is a powerful unit.
[14:12] ---
    The second team, from host country France,
[14:12] ---
    FRANCE
[14:15] ---
    is led by renowned coach Carbonara,
    who has assembled a team
[14:18] ---
    of players who produce goals
    from dazzling pass work.
[14:21] ---
    Elle Sid Pierre and Louis Napoleon
    are key players.
[14:26] ---
    Watch out for combination plays
[14:30] ---
    from the passing expert Pierre
    and goal poacher Napoleon.
[14:34] ---
    Our third team today
    is Uruguay from South America.
[14:35] ---
    URUGUAY
[14:37] ---
    Comparatively they're a bit of
    the lesser known team, aren't they?
[14:42] ---
    You may be right, but whoever plays them
    can't let their guard down.
[14:46] ---
    Of course the key to their attack
[14:48] ---
    is ace Ramon Victorino
    nicknamed the Black Panther.
[14:53] ---
    With his outstanding speed and scoring
    ability, controlling him will be the key
[14:58] ---
    to winning against Uruguay.
[15:01] ---
    And finally our Team Japan, who slid
    into the semifinals by defeating
[15:02] ---
    JAPAN
[15:04] ---
    Italy and Argentina, which were both
    predicted to win the tournament.
[15:09] ---
    With Captain Tsubasa Ozora
[15:12] ---
    and ace striker Hyuga
    at the core of their varied attacks,
[15:16] ---
    the team's continued ability to step up
    has earned them a spot in the prelims.
[15:20] ---
    Their ability to shoot from anywhere
    thanks to the breadth of their
[15:24] ---
    varied attacks is probably
    their greatest weapon.
[15:26] ---
    JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH
    ADVANCE TO THE TOP FOUR!!
[15:27] ---
    How far can Japan go
    against such powerful opponents?
[15:31] ---
    The semifinal matches are Germany
    versus Uruguay and Japan versus France.
[15:33] ---
    JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH
    ADVANCE TO THE TOP FOUR!!
[15:36] ---
    What can we expect to see
    in these matches?
[15:40] ---
    With the addition of Napoleon
    to the French team led by Pierre,
[15:45] ---
    their attacking ability
    has improved greatly.
[15:49] ---
    Just how will Team Japan handle
    the combination plays by these two?
[15:53] ---
    That will certainly be an aspect
    to look out for.
[15:55] ---
    I see.
[15:57] ---
    I'm looking forward to seeing Japan
    play against the home team
[16:01] ---
    and watching Misaki, an athlete who's
    played in France now for three years.
[16:06] ---
    Catch Japan versus France
    live exclusively with us.
[16:12] ---
    Tsubasa and the guys did it.
[16:14] ---
    Yeah, it's amazing they took down Italy
    and Argentina and made it to the top four.
[16:18] ---
    JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH
    ADVANCE TO THE TOP FOUR!!
[16:18] ---
    I'm getting nervous.
[16:21] ---
    Let's all watch it together next time.
[16:24] ---
    Okay, I'll spread the word.
[16:26] ---
    Yeah, we'll all cheer 'em on.
[16:29] ---
    JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH
    ADVANCE TO THE TOP FOUR!!
[16:31] ---
    Tsubasa and the other guys
    are amazing, aren't they, Sis?
[16:34] ---
    Tsubasa... Oh!
[16:36] ---
    JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH
    ADVANCE TO THE TOP FOUR!!
[16:37] ---
    Hey Sanae.
[16:38] ---
    What are you doing?
[16:40] ---
    Wow, Tsubasa!
[16:43] ---
    I have to let Dad know.
[16:55] ---
    I see, they made it to the semifinals.
[17:00] ---
    Good luck, Tsubasa.
[17:10] ---
    Where's Tsubasa?
[17:13] ---
    With today's win, I'm sure
    he's already reporting back to Sanae.
[17:16] ---
    You're probably right.
[17:17] ---
    Tsubasa, score a goal in my heart, too.
[17:21] ---
    You don't sound like her at all.
[17:26] ---
    Yeah, we managed to win
    with everyone working together.
[17:31] ---
    Congratulations, you're in the semifinals.
[17:35] ---
    We go up against France next.
    They're a strong team so we need to focus.
[17:40] ---
    We'll all cheer for you from here.
    We'll be as loud as they are in Paris.
[17:47] ---
    That sounds good.
[17:56] ---
    -Hey...
    -Hey...
[18:02] ---
    What is it?
[18:03] ---
    Yeah. Umm, I...
[18:06] ---
    Oh, there you are.
[18:09] ---
    Yo, Sanae.
[18:11] ---
    Ishizaki?
[18:13] ---
    Oh, I wish you could've seen
    my face block that helped us win.
[18:19] ---
    Tsubasa did a great job
    pulling the team along.
[18:22] ---
    I bet you fell in love all over again.
[18:24] ---
    I really think you got a good hubby there.
[18:27] ---
    I-Ishizaki.
[18:29] ---
    If you'd come over to cheer us on,
    then Tsubasa...
[18:33] ---
    Oh, shut up.
[18:34] ---
    SANAE NAKAZAWA
    CALL ENDED
[18:36] ---
    She hung up.
[18:38] ---
    She's being shy.
[18:42] ---
    Seriously!
[18:45] ---
    Jeez! Jeez!
[18:48] ---
    My bad, I guess I interrupted.
[18:50] ---
    It's okay.
[18:52] ---
    Tsubasa.
[18:54] ---
    Do you have a second?
[18:57] ---
    What, you didn't get to talk
    to Tsubasa at all?
[19:01] ---
    No but it's okay, I want him to
    concentrate on the match against France.
[19:06] ---
    I see. Long distance relationships
    are difficult.
[19:10] ---
    Don't tease me.
[19:13] ---
    Oh, but speaking of...
[19:15] ---
    Yayoi seemed really pleased that
    she got a beautiful post card from Misugi.
[19:21] ---
    See, this one.
[19:23] ---
    Oh, how pretty.
[19:30] ---
    That guy.
[19:31] ---
    Excuse me.
[19:39] ---
    Here you go.
[19:40] ---
    Thank you.
[19:45] ---
    Is anything wrong?
[19:47] ---
    Huh? No, it's nothing.
[19:56] ---
    What? The São Paulo junior team?
[19:59] ---
    Yeah. They're in Paris to play friendlies.
[20:04] ---
    And their coach is Roberto Hongo.
[20:10] ---
    I see. Roberto is coaching
    a junior team in Brazil.
[20:16] ---
    Tsubasa!
[20:17] ---
    What Roberto?
[20:19] ---
    Don't forget, the ball is your friend.
[20:25] ---
    Viva, Tsubasa!
[20:33] ---
    You're amazing, Tsubasa.
[20:37] ---
    It's the top junior team in Brazil and
    they haven't lost a match in Paris yet.
[20:45] ---
    Thanks for asking around even
    when you're tired from the match.
[20:51] ---
    It's not a big deal.
[20:53] ---
    But about that São Paulo junior team,
    they're playing their last match
[20:58] ---
    on the same day
    as our semifinal near the stadium.
[21:02] ---
