    PARIS, 6:01 AM
[00:03] ---
    PARIS SUBURBS
[00:24] ---
    How're you feeling?
[00:28] ---
    Just fine, excellent in fact.
[00:31] ---
    I know the French people are expecting
    a lot from you this tournament.
[00:36] ---
    I don't want you
    pushing yourself too hard.
[00:39] ---
    I know, Mom.
[00:42] ---
    8:00 AM
[00:47] ---
    Sir, I'll get the car.
[00:50] ---
    No need today.
    I'm going for a light jog to the stadium.
[00:58] ---
    Today we play Japan.
    It's one-on-one with Misaki.

[01:02] ---
    We'll finally settle who's better.
[01:05] ---
    I will win! I swear I'll win!
[01:09] ---
    The only one flying the French flag
    over the skies of Paris

[01:13] ---
    will be Elle Sid Pierre.

    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[02:47] ---
    EPISODE 19
    THE BALL OF FIRE REVEALED
[02:56] ---
    Look, it's Team Japan.
[02:58] ---
    It's him. Japan's Number 10.
[03:01] ---
    The one who made
    five assists against Italy,
[03:03] ---
    and a total of six assists
    over two matches.
[03:06] ---
    The player who beat out
    Pierre's five assists.
[03:08] ---
    Japan Junior Youth's Tsubasa Ozora.
[03:12] ---
    Tsubasa, about Roberto...
    Are you feeling okay?
[03:16] ---
    Yeah. I'd love to see him,
    but the match comes first.
[03:21] ---
    In the Argentina match,
    I let it shake me up,
[03:24] ---
    and I let them score the first point.
[03:28] ---
    Besides, as captain I need to think
    of the team and not just about myself.
[03:32] ---
    Tsubasa.
[03:34] ---
    I'm just happy to hear that Roberto
    hasn't given up on soccer.
[03:41] ---
    Coaching a junior team
    in the soccer nation of Brazil,
[03:45] ---
    and leading the team to be number one.
[03:49] ---
    As long as I keep playing soccer,
    I'm sure we'll meet again. I can feel it.
[03:58] ---
    Pierre!
[03:59] ---
    Pierre!
[04:01] ---
    All right, enough already!
[04:03] ---
    Jeez, it's not Pierre.
[04:05] ---
    Where's my Pierre?
[04:07] ---
    Pierre is coming separately.
[04:10] ---
    He's not on this bus. Sorry to disappoint.
[04:14] ---
    That's Louis Napoleon.
[04:16] ---
    The French ace striker.
[04:20] ---
    Pierre.
[04:21] ---
    As promised, it seems we're going to
    settle things at this tournament, Misaki.
[04:27] ---
    Yeah.
[04:28] ---
    Let's play a good match.
[04:30] ---
    Okay.
[04:33] ---
    Take it easy on us, Japanese captain.
[04:36] ---
    Same to you.
[04:44] ---
    JAPAN FRANCE URUGUAY GERMANY
[04:44] ---
    The first round of the semifinals
    with the top four.

[04:49] ---
    First match is Germany Junior Youth
    versus Uruguay Junior Youth.

[05:00] ---
    Wakabayashi.
[05:02] ---
    Why aren't you playing?
[05:04] ---
    Today's match against France Junior Youth
[05:08] ---
    will be a guaranteed loss
    without you in it.
[05:13] ---
    Let's meet in the final, Wakabayashi.
[05:16] ---
    Schneider.
[05:20] ---
    That...
[05:21] ---
    Hey, Wakashimazu.
[05:24] ---
    You're messing with the wrong guy.
[05:26] ---
    So I'm just a dud goalie, is that it?
[05:31] ---
    URUGUAY VS GERMANY
[05:32] ---
    And we have kick off.
[05:35] ---
    Uruguay has the ball.
[05:38] ---
    All right, let's go again today.
[05:44] ---
    Schester is the control tower for Germany.
    You can't let him have the ball.

[05:51] ---
    The Uruguay defense comes running in
    to the open space.

[05:56] ---
    They're attacking with full force.
[06:00] ---
    All right!
[06:01] ---
    Daniel overlaps and centers it
    in front of the goal.

[06:19] ---
    Goal!
[06:20] ---
    Victorino's Diving Volley Shot!
[06:26] ---
    Only fifty seconds in.
[06:29] ---
    So much for the rumors that Germany
    has the advantage.

[06:32] ---
    Uruguay scores the first goal.
[06:36] ---
    We did it, Victorino.
[06:38] ---
    Nice shot!
[06:40] ---
    He's in line
    for top scorer this tournament,

[06:42] ---
    hailing from South America,
[06:44] ---
    the notorious Black Panther,
    Ramon Victorino makes a gorgeous shot.

[06:47] ---
    That was so quick.
[06:50] ---
    I can't believe Germany
    let the first goal in.
[07:12] ---
    Wait, Muller.
[07:14] ---
    It's just the first point.
    Schneider will take care of it.
[07:20] ---
    We'll get one before you know it.
[07:23] ---
    Schneider... will you do...
[07:27] ---
    And we're back.
    This time with Germany's ball.

[07:32] ---
    All right, we win today too.
[07:35] ---
    We won all the games on this French tour.
[07:38] ---
    All right, well done, guys.
[07:42] ---
    Congratulations, Roberto. Nice game.
[07:46] ---
    Coach Barbas.
[07:47] ---
    It turns out you were right.
[07:51] ---
    Who would've thought that Number 10,
    Tsubasa Ozora of Japan,
[07:55] ---
    was more than equal to our Diaz.
[08:04] ---
    Scout Tsubasa for a pro team in Argentina?
[08:08] ---
    Yes.
[08:10] ---
    If he was able to play that well
    against our national treasure, Juan Diaz,
[08:16] ---
    I'm sure he'll do well in Argentina, too.
[08:20] ---
    Besides, you can't let
    that kind of talent go to waste.
[08:25] ---
    There's a big wide world out there
    beyond Japan.
[08:30] ---
    Diaz is heading into the first division
    pros starting next season.
[08:35] ---
    And just with that, it should be obvious.
[08:38] ---
    They may be equal now,
    but in three years' time...
[08:42] ---
    I see an ever widening gap in skill
    between the two of them.
[08:48] ---
    He's at the edge of his prime now.
[08:50] ---
    He should've gone onto
    the global stage even earlier.
[08:54] ---
    Please.
[08:56] ---
    Tsubasa is going to go to Brazil and
    is hoping to be coached by you, Roberto.
[09:00] ---
    This time, make Tsubasa's dream come true.
[09:04] ---
    I'm going to Brazil,
    and I will become a pro.
[09:07] ---
    And then, I'm going to make Japan
    number one.
[09:11] ---
    Tsubasa.
[09:12] ---
    Roberto, three years ago,
[09:15] ---
    why did you see him
    and not think to bring him to Brazil?
[09:21] ---
    I hear you're going back to Brazil.
[09:24] ---
    Yes, on the afternoon flight.
[09:27] ---
    Then I guess this is good bye.
[09:29] ---
    I'm going to go to the stadium to make
    an official offer to Tsubasa Ozora.
[09:35] ---
    Tsubasa's going to Argentina.
[09:42] ---
    The ball goes to Kaltz,
    the workman of Team Germany.

[09:46] ---
    You're not getting a shot!
[09:51] ---
    It's gone to Schneider! Kaltz's back pass
    goes to the Young Emperor!

[09:59] ---
    There it is, that's Schneider's...
[10:05] ---
    Fire Shot!
[10:13] ---
    It's in!
[10:15] ---
    Schneider's winning shot!
    The infamous Fire Shot!

[10:25] ---
    Germany ties it up quickly
    and efficiently.

[10:28] ---
    Just five minutes into the game,
    and it's tied at 1-1.

[10:32] ---
    What was that shot?
[10:36] ---
    He's finally pulled it out.
[10:39] ---
    Guys, know why it's called the Fire Shot?
[10:45] ---
    It's actually on fire.
[10:49] ---
    What?
[10:50] ---
    It could be the friction
    between the air and the ball,
[10:52] ---
    or friction between the cleat and ball.
[10:56] ---
    Or maybe friction
    between the net and the ball.
[11:00] ---
    Whatever it is, once it's inside the net,
    it's blistered and smells like burnt ball.
[11:06] ---
    Hence the name Fire Shot.
    A guarantee every time.
[11:12] ---
    Crap, I'll just score another goal.
[11:15] ---
    This match is between him and me,
    a striker showdown.

[11:20] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[11:21] ---
    I could've saved it.
[11:28] ---
    BIRTH DATE OCTOBER 28 / HEIGHT 168 CM
    WEIGHT 57 KG / BLOOD TYPE O
[11:32] ---
    It's 1-1, we're back to the beginning
[11:35] ---
    and the match resumes
    with Uruguay's kick off.

[11:38] ---
    The true essence
    of Uruguayan soccer is said to be

[11:43] ---
    "garra Charrua" the fighting spirit.
[11:45] ---
    But when it comes to fighting spirit,
    they haven't got me beat yet.

[11:50] ---
    Let's go, Uruguay.
[11:53] ---
    Give it to me.
[11:55] ---
    Victorino.
[11:56] ---
    Let's go Schneider.
[12:13] ---
    Victorino with a back pass!
[12:15] ---
    Did he pull off the combination play
    of Kaltz and Schneider?

[12:32] ---
    Goal!
[12:33] ---
    A gorgeous goal
    in direct competition with Schneider's.

[12:37] ---
    It's the Black Panther of South America.
[12:39] ---
    Second point for Uruguay!
[12:44] ---
    See that, Schneider?
    That's our "garra Charrua"!
[12:53] ---
    This is going to be a rough one.
[12:55] ---
    This time, Germany kicks off.
[12:58] ---
    Will Uruguay widen the gap?
[13:00] ---
    Or will Germany catch up?
[13:03] ---
    Ball is in with Victorino.
    Will this be his third point?

[13:07] ---
    Oh, we have a true clash.
[13:12] ---
    Schneider holds his position
    and controls the loose ball.

[13:16] ---
    C-Crap.
[13:23] ---
    Karl, do you have
    that much confidence in your skills?

[13:29] ---
    Hey Mom, what are you going to do?
[13:31] ---
    About what?
[13:33] ---
    The tickets Karl sent you,
    don't waste them.
[13:37] ---
    If you're off work,
    go cheer him on for me, too.
[13:41] ---
    But I'm not sure
    they can win today's match.
[13:44] ---
    Of course, they'll win.
[13:45] ---
    No way Karl's going to lose.
[13:54] ---
    Schneider charges in!
[13:56] ---
    With an impressively powerful and
    technical display of dribbling prowess,

[14:00] ---
    he homes in on the goal
    inside Uruguay's territory.

[14:04] ---
    Look, he can't be stopped.
[14:06] ---
    I'll stop him!
[14:07] ---
    The two of us will.
[14:14] ---
    Fire Shot!
[14:21] ---
    Goal!
[14:23] ---
    And just like that it's tied 2-2.
[14:31] ---
    This match is turning into
[14:32] ---
    a shooting match between Schneider
    the Young Emperor of Germany,

[14:34] ---
    and Victorino,
    the South American Black Panther.

[14:39] ---
    Incredible, Schneider.
[14:42] ---
    But that 6-1 score
    back during the first match of our tour...
[14:45] ---
    I promise you we'll get you back
    for that humiliating defeat.
[14:49] ---
    And for that, we need to wait
    for today's match against France.
[14:54] ---
    I look forward to our battle,
    Karl Heinz Schneider.

[14:58] ---
    I'm not done yet, Schneider.
[15:03] ---
    The deadlock continues.
    Uruguay cannot give away any more points.

[15:09] ---
    With the exception of Victorino,
    they're focused on their defense.

[15:13] ---
    From that defense,
    they're looking for a counter attack.

[15:19] ---
    Margus!
[15:22] ---
    All right.
[15:23] ---
    Squash him.
[15:29] ---
    With that light touch so characteristic
    of players from South America,

[15:33] ---
    and those agile moves.
[15:35] ---
    Victorino really is
    South America's Black Panther!

[15:36] ---
    Crap.
[15:41] ---
    Oh a foul. Defender Magath hooks
    his foot against Victorino's speed.

[15:47] ---
    An opportunity for Uruguay.
[15:49] ---
    Just before the end of the first half,
    directly in front of the goal,

[15:52] ---
    just outside the penalty area,
    they have a free kick.

[15:55] ---
    All right, we got this.
[15:57] ---
    Germany rushed it.
[16:00] ---
    Of course,
    Victorino is the one to kick it.

[16:02] ---
    Not surprisingly, Germany builds a wall.
[16:05] ---
    It doesn't matter if you've got a wall.
    I'll curve it then drop it right in.

[16:10] ---
    Oh, a player change from Germany.
[16:13] ---
    From Stein the goalie...
[16:16] ---
    to Deuter Muller.
[16:18] ---
    He is quite the tall player.
[16:21] ---
    He's nearly two meters
    and built like a tank.

[16:26] ---
    No way, is he the mythical...
[16:29] ---
    What's wrong, Wakabayashi?
[16:30] ---
    Germany has a guy
    they call the mythical goalie.
[16:34] ---
    Mythical?
[16:35] ---
    The mythical goalie, Deuter Muller.
[16:39] ---
    I don't need a wall.
    It's harder to see the shot.
[16:42] ---
    What?!
[16:43] ---
    Is he serious?
[16:47] ---
    Do as he says.
[16:51] ---
    Oh, Germany gets rid of the wall.
[16:54] ---
    It's as if they're giving the goal away.
[16:58] ---
    I'm done with your insults.
[17:03] ---
    Time to teach you a lesson!
[17:05] ---
    A furious Victorino, shoots!
[17:18] ---
    Oh, he stopped it! The goalie Muller
    with a one-handed catch!

[17:24] ---
    What?
[17:26] ---
    Muller!
[17:29] ---
    Let's go!
[17:35] ---
    Muller with an amazing
    long-distance throw.

[17:42] ---
    Go back! Cover the goal.
[17:44] ---
    N-No way, it can't be.
[17:54] ---
    Schneider floats the ball!
[17:57] ---
    Margus, the other forward
    in the two up top comes running in.

[18:02] ---
    I got it!
[18:04] ---
    Clear! Clear it.
[18:05] ---
    Clear the loose ball.
[18:11] ---
    But Schneider with a Sliding Shot!
[18:14] ---
    It's a goal! The score is 3 to 2!
[18:16] ---
    Schneider has a keen sense for the goal.
[18:20] ---
    He's achieved an amazing three hat tricks
    three matches in a row!

[18:24] ---
    That scoring sense in front of the goal,
    and that long shot. He's a natural.

[18:30] ---
    Just like me, he's a born striker.
[18:35] ---
    And the surprising thing
    is not just him, but that goalie.

[18:42] ---
    End of the first half.
[18:47] ---
    Nice shot.
[18:49] ---
    Nice save, goalie.
[18:51] ---
    Wakabayashi, that goalie.
[18:54] ---
    Yeah, I heard about him.
[18:58] ---
    Last year, a professional team held a camp
    high in the mountains of west Germany.
[19:04] ---
    In the mountain village, a local soccer
    team and the pro team held a friendly.
[19:12] ---
    A 14-year-old boy stood out,
    and it was Muller.
[19:18] ---
    In the beginning, the pro team was just
    having fun, but then things changed.
[19:23] ---
    It was only a twenty minute match,
    but the pro team took shot after shot.
[19:29] ---
    But the score at the end...
[19:34] ---
    That's right,
    Muller put the fire under the pros.
[19:39] ---
    He blocked every one of their shots.
[19:42] ---
    The coach for the pros asked Muller
    to come then and there.
[19:47] ---
    But he loathed leaving his mountain
    and turned them down.
[19:53] ---
    And that's how the legend
    of the mythical goalie began.
[19:57] ---
    That myth is now a reality
    and standing right in front of us.
[20:03] ---
    Germany Junior Youth
    has truly become a powerful unit.
[20:11] ---
    Germany versus Uruguay,
    the second half begins.

[20:14] ---
    Victorino, the go-to for Uruguay,
[20:16] ---
    hasn't been himself since having
    his free kick stopped in the first half.

[20:20] ---
    Conversely Schester, the German midfielder
    is completely dominating the midfield.

[20:26] ---
    I'll just take a little break this match.
[20:29] ---
    Five minutes into the second half,
    Margus scores a header to make it 4-2.

[20:34] ---
    Seventeen minutes in, a free kick
    in front of the Uruguay goal.

[20:37] ---
    Schneider fakes the shot
    and Schester kicks it in for a goal.

[20:42] ---
    It has to be this guy at the end.
[20:44] ---
    Twenty five minutes into the second half
    with a powerful Fire Shot.

[20:48] ---
    He scores the fourth point this match,
    which became a decisive goal.

[20:51] ---
    Did you see that Dad, Mom?
[20:54] ---
    With that he pulls ahead of Argentina's
    Diaz's nine points with ten.

[20:59] ---
    He's the solo leader
    of the top scorer board.

[21:03] ---
    Win, plus Top Scorer, plus MVP.
[21:06] ---
    The Young Emperor Karl Heinz Schneider
    is hurtling ahead toward the trifecta.

[21:13] ---
    Germany defeats Uruguay 6-2
    and advances to the final.

[21:18] ---
    With the appearance of the Steel Giant,
    goalie Deuter Muller,

[21:23] ---
    the most powerful team
    with no gaps is complete.

[21:26] ---
    Germany Junior Youth
    is the favorite to win it all.

[21:29] ---
    Will home team France Junior Youth
    be the one to win the right

[21:32] ---
    to challenge the most powerful unit?
[21:35] ---
    They're the real deal.
[21:37] ---
    Yeah.
[21:38] ---
    Or will it be our Japan Junior Youth?
[21:41] ---
    Are they really the same age as us?
[21:46] ---
    All right, let's go.
[21:48] ---
    Tsubasa.
[21:50] ---
    All right!
[21:51] ---
    Yeah, let's get fired up and go, guys.
[21:56] ---
    We're not going to lose.
[21:57] ---
    We have to beat France Junior Youth
    in the semifinal so that

[22:02] ---
    we can go up against the most
    powerful unit, German Junior Youth.
