[00:03] ---
That's our starting line-up.
[00:06] ---
For this match against France,
we'll go man-to-man
[00:08] ---
against the forward, Napoleon,
and Pierre the midfielder.
[00:12] ---
Soda, you take Napoleon.
[00:14] ---
Yes, sir.
[00:15] ---
We're counting on you, Ace Killer.
[00:17] ---
I got this.
[00:19] ---
And Misaki, you take Pierre.
[00:21] ---
I'm counting on you.
[00:22] ---
Yes, sir.
[00:24] ---
Misaki.
[00:25] ---
The time to settle things
with Pierre has come.
[00:28] ---
Wakashimazu.
[00:31] ---
Napoleon's shots
have a spin all on their own.
[00:35] ---
It'll take all your effort to catch it,
otherwise it'll get through.
[00:38] ---
Yeah, I know.
[00:43] ---
Why, Wakabayashi?
[00:45] ---
We won against Argentina,
but I still gave up four goals.
[00:49] ---
Why aren't you playing this match?
[00:53] ---
You're all about earning your spot,
so why just hand me the goalie spot?
[01:00] ---
All right guys, let's go out there
and show 'em what we got!
[01:03] ---
Yeah.
[01:07] ---
Let's do this! It's the semifinals!

CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[02:42] ---
EPISODE 20
THE BATTLE BEGINS!! JAPAN VS. FRANCE
[02:44] ---
All right, it's starting.
[02:47] ---
Finally.
[02:48] ---
Tsubasa, hurry up and make an appearance.
[02:51] ---
So sorry about the crowd, and so late.
[02:53] ---
Don't be silly, the more the merrier.
[02:57] ---
And our players are finally entering.
[02:59] ---
Go! France Junior Youth!
[03:02] ---
You have to win!
[03:03] ---
Don't lose to Japan!
[03:05] ---
Napoleon, let's get three matches
and three hat tricks.
[03:08] ---
Home team France may have
the advantage when it comes to cheers
[03:12] ---
but it's anyone's guess
how this'll all turn out.
[03:15] ---
Will it be Japan or France to the finals?
[03:18] ---
Tsubasa.
[03:22] ---
Shoot, we're outmatched in numbers.
[03:25] ---
And those guys are cheering
for France instead of Misaki.
[03:30] ---
Gah, I'm so frustrated.
[03:34] ---
Captains, time to shake.
[03:37] ---
-Best of luck.
-Best of luck.
[03:42] ---
JAPAN VS. FRANCE
[03:44] ---
Both teams are in position.
[03:47] ---
The second match of the semifinals
is about to begin.
[03:50] ---
Germany has already beaten Uruguay
in the first match and is into the finals.
[03:55] ---
The match starts with France's kick off.
[03:58] ---
Who'll win and make it to the finals?
Japan or France?
[04:04] ---
Of course, France goes
with Captain Elle Sid Pierre.
[04:09] ---
-All right, it's Pierre.
-How cool! Pierre!
[04:13] ---
Let's go, Pierre.
[04:14] ---
Misaki heads toward him.
[04:16] ---
Go, Misaki!
[04:18] ---
Misaki.
[04:20] ---
Take that!
[04:21] ---
Hyuga goes after the ball with a slide.
[04:24] ---
Pierre avoids it with a jump.
[04:27] ---
But Misaki is in the air.
[04:29] ---
The two are evenly matched.
[04:32] ---
It's just like that other time.
[04:35] ---
The ball is loose!
[04:37] ---
-Misaki!
-Pierre!
[04:39] ---
Oh! Tsubasa intercepts midair!
[04:43] ---
Tsubasa!
[04:44] ---
Nice, Tsubasa!
[04:46] ---
Hyuga, Misaki,
and Tsubasa's triple-tier attack
[04:50] ---
has already taken the ball away
from France's pillar Pierre.
[04:54] ---
All right, Japan. Go!
[04:57] ---
Tsubasa!
[04:58] ---
Pierre lost the ball.
[05:00] ---
This has never happened before.
[05:03] ---
Then we just go get it back.
[05:04] ---
Crush them.
[05:06] ---
France is already challenging Tsubasa.
[05:10] ---
Roberto being in the stands
[05:11] ---
during that Argentina match really
shook me up, and I made mistakes.
[05:15] ---
But Roberto taught me to first dribble.
[05:24] ---
All right, guys.
[05:26] ---
When we get to the hotel,
don't get too comfortable.
[05:28] ---
We have to get ready to go home.
[05:30] ---
Okay.
[05:34] ---
Excuse me. Stop the bus.
[05:41] ---
Coach Ramines, watch over the team for me.
[05:43] ---
I'll head back to Brazil
on tomorrow's flight.
[05:45] ---
-What?
-Coach Roberto?
[05:48] ---
Tsubasa tries to get by
with an aggressive dribble.
[05:52] ---
I mean, it looked like an aggressive
dribble with a brilliantly light step.
[05:57] ---
He goes whizzing by the French players.
[06:00] ---
Amazing, Tsubasa.
[06:02] ---
To dribble well, always anticipate two
or three steps ahead of the opponent.
[06:05] ---
And that requires steady balance
and secure ball control at all times.
[06:12] ---
That's what Roberto used to say.
[06:15] ---
There goes
his great ball handling skills again.
[06:18] ---
You guys can't even stop
a dribble like that?
[06:21] ---
I, Napoleon, will put a stop to him.
[06:25] ---
Napoleon dashes and attacks!
[06:28] ---
Watch out, Tsubasa!
[06:30] ---
Got it.
[06:33] ---
Tsubasa with a back pass!
[06:35] ---
Why, you...
[06:37] ---
The ball goes straight to Misaki.
[06:40] ---
Tsubasa stands up right away.
[06:43] ---
Pierre goes after Misaki.
[06:48] ---
Oh, Misaki doesn't keep the ball,
but passes it sideways.
[06:51] ---
All right.
[06:53] ---
Misaki.
[06:55] ---
We're going to the finals.
Our one-on-one will have to wait.
[07:00] ---
The ball goes to Soda who overlaps.
[07:03] ---
We'll be the ones taking on Germany,
the most powerful unit.
[07:08] ---
Will this be a last pass for Tsubasa
as he heads toward the goal?
[07:12] ---
Go!
[07:13] ---
Mine, I'm intercepting.
[07:16] ---
What?
[07:17] ---
Here we have Soda's signature move,
a ball with horizontal spin.
[07:21] ---
Razor Pass.
[07:23] ---
The ball goes to Hyuga,
who's running up the opposite side.
[07:26] ---
Nice pass, Soda.
[07:28] ---
He has the long shot, so watch out.
[07:31] ---
Tsubasa, I matched your Drive Shot,
[07:34] ---
and now it's your turn
to match my Tiger Shot!
[07:39] ---
We can't lose.
We have to get Germany back, Tsubasa.
[07:45] ---
Tiger Shot!
[07:49] ---
Hyuga lets loose his specialty long shot.
[07:51] ---
No, the direction is different.
[07:53] ---
It's a last pass for Tsubasa
who is running in front of the goal.
[07:56] ---
But can he match the speed
of this ferocious pass?
[08:00] ---
The defense goes to take him down.
[08:02] ---
No time to trap.
[08:04] ---
Please Tsubasa, you gotta make it.
[08:06] ---
Back when I was a center forward
in elementary school, Roberto always said,
[08:12] ---
"Become a midfielder."
[08:15] ---
That means keeping up the scoring skills
[08:18] ---
I had as a center forward,
even now as a midfielder.
[08:21] ---
I need to be a midfielder
who can plan out the match and score.
[08:25] ---
Only then can I really wear
the ace jersey Number 10.
[08:29] ---
That...
[08:30] ---
is the kind of player
Roberto and I strive toward.
[08:37] ---
The Non-Trap Running Volley!
[08:41] ---
It's in, incredible!
[08:44] ---
Tsubasa Ozora brilliantly kicks
[08:46] ---
a difficult pass from Hyuga
into France's goal.
[08:50] ---
The first point goes to Japan!
[08:52] ---
Oh no, France...
[08:55] ---
All right! We did it, guys.
[08:57] ---
You did it, Tsubasa!
[08:59] ---
The wizz kid of soccer does it again.
[09:01] ---
Let's hear it for Japan's captain,
Tsubasa Ozora.
[09:04] ---
He did it!
[09:05] ---
Only Tsubasa.
[09:07] ---
-Impressive.
-He's done it already.
[09:10] ---
Tsubasa.
[09:13] ---
All right, we got the first point.
[09:15] ---
We're up against the home team,
but we can do it.
[09:19] ---
Fantastic. Excellent coordination.
[09:23] ---
In the first match it was
Italy's famous goalie, Zino Hernandez.
[09:27] ---
Then it was Juan Diaz,
the Argentine genius.
[09:30] ---
Tsubasa Ozora's managed
to take both of them down.
[09:35] ---
Will he do it again now against
France's Elle Sid Pierre?
[09:39] ---
Wonderful. I'm definitely
bringing him back to Argentina.
[09:43] ---
They got the first point.
[09:46] ---
I guess I have no choice
but to bring out my shot.
[09:48] ---
I've been saving it.
[09:51] ---
My plan was to save it for the final,
but losing is unacceptable.
[09:57] ---
That Number 10 is better than we thought.
[10:01] ---
Better than me?
[10:03] ---
Will the final be with Japan
led by that Number 10?
[10:07] ---
No, we can't tell yet.
[10:09] ---
Elle Sid Pierre, the French captain.
[10:12] ---
He's used Napoleon
very well this tournament
[10:14] ---
and he's stayed in the shadows,
but there's more to him than that.
[10:19] ---
I've got the inkling
that he's hiding something.

CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[10:29] sign
BIRTH DATE AUGUST 16 / HEIGHT 171 CM
WEIGHT 62 KG / BLOOD TYPE B
[10:41] ---
The match resumes with France's ball.
[10:44] ---
We have to win this match.
[10:47] ---
I'll make it so we can win,
then I'll win against you, Misaki.
[10:54] ---
Pierre.
[10:59] ---
Napoleon, come up.
[11:06] ---
I'm coming.
I'll get back that point we just lost.
[11:10] ---
No way.
[11:12] ---
Soda guards Napoleon.
[11:15] ---
I'll get by you in a second.
[11:17] ---
Bring it back with a back pass.
[11:21] ---
Napoleon!
[11:22] ---
Looking the other way?
[11:24] ---
First was my Razor Pass,
now for my Razor Tackle.
[11:27] ---
Watch out, Napoleon.
[11:28] ---
I'm counting on you.
[11:30] ---
What?
[11:31] ---
Soda's power tackle ends up
sweeping Napoleon's pivot foot.
[11:36] ---
What do you think you're doing?
[11:39] ---
The referee lets it slide.
Pierre comes up dribbling.
[11:43] ---
Misaki marks Pierre.
[11:46] ---
Don't think you can get away with that.
[11:49] ---
I'll put an end to him.
[11:50] ---
Ishizaki comes to stop him.
[11:53] ---
Pierre goes at Ishizaki.
[11:56] ---
What's he thinking? It's mine.
[12:02] ---
What a brilliant jump!
He floats like a butterfly.
[12:08] ---
Ishizaki is going too fast
and slams into Misaki.
[12:11] ---
It's Pierre's signature move.
[12:13] ---
I'll show you. Get a load of this, world.
[12:15] ---
Get ready for my...
[12:21] ---
Slider Shot!
[12:24] ---
Pierre lets loose a long shot.
[12:29] ---
The ball heads straight for Japan's goal!
[12:32] ---
That trajectory doesn't have a drive spin.
[12:35] ---
It's slower than the Tiger Shot.
[12:37] ---
I can get it.
[12:39] ---
The goalie Wakashimazu
goes for a diving catch.
[12:43] ---
What?
[12:45] ---
It's in!
[12:47] ---
He was so close, but it fell and with
one bound, went into the right corner.
[12:52] ---
Wakashimazu!
[12:54] ---
What was that?
[12:56] ---
This is a brand new,
one-of-a-kind shot by Pierre.
[13:01] ---
And just like that,
France catches up 1-1.
[13:06] ---
See that?
That, my friends, is my Slider Shot.
[13:10] ---
-Amazing Pierre!
-Go France!
[13:12] ---
Slider Shot.
[13:14] ---
This...
[13:16] ---
You did it, Pierre. Nice shot!
[13:18] ---
What is wrong with you?
[13:20] ---
Oh no, we have a scuffle on our hands.
[13:23] ---
It's Napoleon and Soda.
[13:27] ---
Stop it, Soda.
[13:29] ---
Players from both teams are stepping in.
[13:32] ---
Stop it, Napoleon.
[13:35] ---
It appears Napoleon
has retaliated against Soda's tackle.
[13:39] ---
But warnings go to both of them
with yellow cards.
[13:43] ---
Calm down, Soda.
[13:44] ---
Both of them got
a little too hot under the collar.
[13:47] ---
Napoleon.
[13:51] ---
What are you doing?
[13:54] ---
Pierre.
[13:58] ---
We're not here to have fun,
and we're not here to fight.
[14:03] ---
For the honor of the mother land,
for my own honor, I stand on this pitch,
[14:08] ---
and take this with the utmost seriousness.
[14:10] ---
Soccer is where each individual's effort
comes together. It's a team sport.
[14:15] ---
I will not tolerate
anymore selfish behavior.
[14:18] ---
Understand, Napoleon?
[14:20] ---
Pierre.
[14:26] ---
Elle Sid Pierre. From that
excellent dribble to that shot...
[14:31] ---
down to maturity as captain...
[14:34] ---
What an amazing player.
[14:37] ---
Don't get so worked up, Soda.
[14:38] ---
Yeah, I know.
[14:40] ---
Sorry, guys. I was marking Pierre,
but I didn't know he had a shot like that.
[14:46] ---
No, it's on me.
[14:49] ---
I ran into Misaki.
[14:51] ---
No point dwelling on what's done.
[14:53] ---
Tsubasa.
[14:54] ---
We carry on. Let's get that
second point and get back our lead.
[15:00] ---
That's right, what Tsubasa said.
[15:03] ---
All right. Let's go back and do it again.
[15:05] ---
All right.
[15:07] ---
Kick off by Team Japan
who has now been tied.
[15:16] ---
Let's go.
[15:17] ---
Intercept the ball!
[15:19] ---
Let's go Misaki.
[15:21] ---
Okay, Tsubasa.
[15:22] ---
Team Japan attempts to use
[15:23] ---
the Golden Duo, Tsubasa and Misaki,
to tear them down.
[15:28] ---
There it is!
[15:29] ---
A skilled pass that cuts down any momentum
the French team may have had.
[15:35] ---
This is Japan's Golden Duo.
[15:38] ---
Their play...
[15:40] ---
All right, Tsubasa, Misaki.
[15:42] ---
Go!
[15:44] ---
Taro.
[15:45] ---
Tsubasa!
[15:49] ---
Tsubasa!
[15:50] ---
All right!
[15:51] ---
Oh, Tsubasa receives the pass
from Misaki and shoots it.
[15:55] ---
Go!
[15:58] ---
Is it his signature Drive Shot?
[16:00] ---
No, the trajectory is straight.
[16:05] ---
I got it.
[16:07] ---
No, it falls straight down.
[16:08] ---
What?
[16:10] ---
It's the same as Pierre's.
[16:12] ---
It's Tsubasa's Slider Shot!
[16:15] ---
What?
[16:16] ---
Oh, but this one hits the goal post!
[16:20] ---
France clears it and escapes to the side.
[16:23] ---
Phew, that was close.
[16:25] ---
But that shot...
[16:27] ---
Shoot, the course was off.
[16:30] ---
It may've not turned into a point,
but Japan's very own soccer kid,
[16:34] ---
Tsubasa Ozora is nothing short of amazing.
[16:36] ---
He managed to copy
Pierre's Slider Shot in mere minutes.
[16:41] ---
He saw it only once.
[16:44] ---
There's no way.
I worked so hard to perfect that.
[16:49] ---
I was going to keep my Slider Shot
hidden until the final.
[16:52] ---
How can he so easily...
[16:54] ---
I thought so.
[16:56] ---
BIG / DRIVE SHOT / LITTLE
[16:56] ---
Just like the Drive Shot, you put a spin
on the ball at the point of contact.
[17:00] ---
But with the Slider Shot, you push forward
harder than apply spin.
[17:00] ---
LITTLE / SLIDER SHOT / BIG
[17:05] ---
It doesn't curve
as much as the Drive Shot,
[17:09] ---
but it drops slightly
just in front of the goalie.
[17:12] ---
I see.
[17:13] ---
But to have figured that out
so quickly and do it...
[17:17] ---
Only you, Tsubasa.
[17:19] ---
I don't think they've gotten over it yet.
[17:23] ---
He hasn't changed at all.
[17:24] ---
Still the old Tsubasa, making
his opponents' strengths his own.
[17:33] ---
You hit the crossbar and then head it.
[17:41] ---
You came after all, Roberto.
[17:45] ---
Coach Barbas.
[17:47] ---
Hello.
[17:48] ---
That shot may be
a variation of the Drive Shot,
[17:51] ---
but it's still amazing that he made it
his own just after seeing it once.
[17:56] ---
If he comes to Argentina,
we'll be great rivals.
[18:01] ---
Coach Barbas, you're still planning
on bringing Tsubasa to Argentina?
[18:04] ---
Roberto, what happened
between the two of you?
[18:09] ---
If you don't mind, I'd like to know.
[18:12] ---
Oh, Misaki's dad.
[18:15] ---
Hey, everyone.
[18:16] ---
And the match resumes
with Japan's throw in.
[18:20] ---
Izawa.
[18:21] ---
Misaki!
[18:23] ---
Tsubasa.
[18:24] ---
Tsubasa's Slider Shot
took the wind out of France's sails,
[18:28] ---
giving the momentum back to Japan.
[18:31] ---
Hyuga.
[18:32] ---
And the ball goes to Hyuga
in the front line.
[18:36] ---
All right.
[18:37] ---
Let's go. I'll be the one
to get the winning goal.
[18:41] ---
Crush him!
[18:42] ---
Stop him!
[18:45] ---
All right, way to go, Hyuga.
[18:47] ---
Go Hyuga!
[18:49] ---
Oh, Pierre goes head on to intercept.
[18:52] ---
What?
[18:53] ---
Pierre is the one to get the ball.
[18:56] ---
Japan's Number 10, Tsubasa Ozora.
You've shattered my pride.
[19:02] ---
I'll get you back ten fold.
[19:05] ---
Pierre has gotten serious.
[19:07] ---
Pierre starts dribbling.
[19:10] ---
Misaki goes to mark him.
[19:12] ---
-Misaki!
-Pierre!
[19:15] ---
Oh, this is...
[19:18] ---
Dazzling technique
is usually Pierre's forte,
[19:20] ---
but he's using brute force now
to get by Misaki.
[19:24] ---
That was some rough play,
and practically a foul.
[19:27] ---
Misaki.
[19:28] ---
Where are you looking, Ref? That's a foul.
[19:30] ---
A chance for France. Will Pierre go
after the goal with another Slider Shot?
[19:36] ---
Go, Pierre!
[19:38] ---
I'll get even for Misaki.
[19:40] ---
Tsubasa goes to stop him.
[19:43] ---
Will Pierre pass or go through?
[19:45] ---
He goes through!
Another aggressive move.
[19:48] ---
Tsubasa with a hard tackle.
[19:51] ---
Oh, the two go at the same time.
[19:54] ---
The ball is loose!
[19:58] ---
Go, Napoleon.
[19:59] ---
Crap.
[20:01] ---
It's an overhead pass.
[20:05] ---
All right, I got it.
[20:06] ---
Not happening.
[20:08] ---
It's a header scramble.
[20:10] ---
They collide midair, completely entangled.
[20:13] ---
Napoleon can't shoot.
[20:15] ---
Japan manages to defend.
[20:18] ---
Nice, Soda!
[20:25] ---
Oh, a yellow card for Soda.
[20:28] ---
What?
[20:31] ---
During the midair collision, Soda's elbow
seems to have met Napoleon's face.
[20:36] ---
The referee rules it as intentional.
[20:39] ---
This is Soda's
second yellow card this match.
[20:43] ---
He's ejected.
[20:44] ---
No way, I didn't do it on purpose!
[20:47] ---
Why do I have to be ejected?
[20:49] ---
Soda didn't hit him on purpose.
[20:52] ---
Team Japan is putting up a fight,
but rulings are rarely overturned.
[20:59] ---
What the Ref says goes.
[21:01] ---
Kick him out.
[21:03] ---
It's only ten minutes
into the first half.
[21:05] ---
Team Japan will have to play with
ten players for the rest of the match.
[21:10] ---
And it's a foul inside the penalty area.
France is granted a penalty kick.
[21:15] ---
This is not good for Japan.
[21:19] ---
I didn't do anything to get ejected.
[21:23] ---
But Soda won't leave the pitch.
[21:27] ---
Tsubasa!
[21:30] ---
Referee, as captain of Team Japan,
I object.
[21:34] ---
I understand
that you have ruled the play a foul.
[21:37] ---
But Soda didn't punch him on purpose.
It was an accident.
[21:42] ---
I ask you to withdraw the ejection.
[21:45] ---
You're still complaining?
[21:47] ---
The ruling of referees is absolute.
[21:49] ---
But a misinterpretation
is a misinterpretation.
[21:52] ---
Tsubasa.
[21:54] ---
Oh, and this is the third yellow card.
[21:59] ---
A yellow card for Japan's captain,
Tsubasa, for arguing with the referee.
