    Go, Tsubasa, Misaki.
[00:02] ---
    Tsubasa.
[00:04] ---
    Go, Tsubasa.
[00:07] ---
    Misaki.
[00:11] ---
    Pierre!
[00:12] ---
    That's right,
    if I can get by Pierre on my own,

[00:16] ---
    then that raises our chances
    of tying the score.

[00:18] ---
    Misaki going to get past Pierre
    by himself.

[00:22] ---
    Misaki.
[00:23] ---
    Misaki!
[00:28] ---
    Technique versus technique.
[00:30] ---
    It's a clash of two talents.
[00:33] ---
    Which will it be?
[00:35] ---
    Breaking through or defending?
[00:37] ---
    Will Japan or France come out the winner?
[00:43] ---
    The victory song goes to France.
[00:46] ---
    Pierre makes a skilled tackle.
[00:49] ---
    Sorry, guys.
[00:52] ---
    It's not over yet.
[00:54] ---
    Soccer is not a one-on-one sport.
[00:56] ---
    It's played by helping each other out.
[00:59] ---
    There.
[01:00] ---
    -What?
    -Sorimachi.
[01:02] ---
    Ball goes to Tsubasa in front of the goal.
[01:04] ---
    Sorimachi!
[01:06] ---
    I won't let him in the goal.
[01:07] ---
    Don't let him shoot.
[01:08] ---
    We finally got this chance,
    and I don't want to waste it.

[01:11] ---
    The situation may not be perfect,
    but I have to shoot.

[01:14] ---
    There's no other choice.
[01:15] ---
    H-Here it comes.
[01:16] ---
    Block the shot.
[01:19] ---
    Huh, what?
[01:21] ---
    Tsubasa with a big pass behind him.
[01:26] ---
    Go for it, Hyuga.
[01:28] ---
    Oh, crap.
[01:29] ---
    Hyuga comes running in.
[01:34] ---
    No one's gonna complain about this now.
[01:37] ---
    I won't let you shoot.
[01:39] ---
    Please, Hyuga, our hearts and souls are
    betting on that ball. You gotta make it!
[01:42] ---
    Take that! Behold my Tiger Shot...
[01:48] ---
    Behold the wrath of Team Japan!
[02:00] ---
    Hyuga's Tiger Shot is in!
[02:04] ---
    It's 3-2!
[02:05] ---
    Seven minutes into the second half
    Japan makes it a one-point match.

[02:10] ---
    Nice shot, Hyuga.
[02:12] ---
    Good job, Hyuga.
[02:15] ---
    See that? Now that's a goal.
[02:30] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[03:51] ---
    Hyuga's Tiger Shot explodes!
    Now that's a goal.

    EPISODE 22
    THE ELEGANT BEAST ATTACKS
[03:57] ---
    You did it, Hyuga.
[03:58] ---
    Nice shot!
[03:59] ---
    He did it!
[04:01] ---
    One more point! One more point!
[04:03] ---
    All right, one more point, guys.
[04:06] ---
    Yeah.
[04:07] ---
    Japan continues to fight
    with ten players on the pitch,

[04:09] ---
    but seven minutes into the second half,
    they make it 3-2, just one goal away.
[04:14] ---
    Pierre.
[04:15] ---
    From defense to offense,
    they help each other and play as a team.

[04:19] ---
    This, folks, is what
    JBOY'S soccer is all about.

[04:23] ---
    Pierre.
[04:25] ---
    They covered for their missing player,
    and they defended.
[04:29] ---
    Then they attacked en masse.
[04:32] ---
    It's not South American or European.
    It's Japanese soccer.
[04:37] ---
    And we'll just have to show 'em
    our champagne soccer.
[04:43] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[04:44] ---
    I'll grab another goal. It's a promise.
[04:58] ---
    And we're back.
    Japan is now within one point.

[05:02] ---
    The question is,
    will this rain prove lucky for them?

[05:06] ---
    Just as we thought, Japan's hanging tough.
[05:09] ---
    Yeah. They came back from
    a three-point deficit against us
[05:12] ---
    and are playing in the semifinals.
[05:14] ---
    They may have only ten players,
    but they're not giving up.
[05:19] ---
    Tsubasa.
[05:21] ---
    France looks to Elle Sid Pierre
    to set up the match.

[05:26] ---
    Pierre.
[05:27] ---
    Let's go, Misaki.
[05:29] ---
    Tsubasa!
[05:32] ---
    If we both go,
    we should be able to get it.
[05:35] ---
    Yeah.
[05:36] ---
    On France's honor,
    I'm not giving up this ball.
[05:40] ---
    Tsubasa and Misaki
    are both headed towards Pierre.

[05:44] ---
    Pierre!
[05:45] ---
    It's a double tackle
    by Tsubasa and Misaki.

[05:52] ---
    Oh, Pierre gets around
    the Golden Duo's tackle

[05:57] ---
    and blows by them in no time.
[05:59] ---
    What speed! What a beautiful maneuver!
[06:03] ---
    Tsubasa and Misaki.
[06:04] ---
    Pierre!
[06:05] ---
    I'm still here.
[06:07] ---
    Hyuga from Japan attacks.
[06:11] ---
    Oh, he dodges this one too.
[06:13] ---
    What?
[06:14] ---
    Take that, Japan!
[06:15] ---
    You'll be two points behind again!
[06:18] ---
    He lands and quickly shoots!
[06:21] ---
    Behold, the elegant beast himself,
    Elle Sid Pierre.

[06:24] ---
    Wakashimazu, it's a Slider Shot.
    It'll go straight, but then curve.
[06:29] ---
    All right, Tsubasa.
[06:33] ---
    He got it!
[06:34] ---
    It's as if he predicted the exact
    trajectory of this tricky shot.

[06:37] ---
    Wakashimazu with a diving catch!
[06:40] ---
    Japan doesn't give France
    an additional point.

[06:43] ---
    We can't give any more points away.
[06:45] ---
    Nice, Wakashimazu!
[06:47] ---
    The European tour and this tournament
    have provided Wakashimazu

[06:50] ---
    with the experience of having to handle
    all kinds of formidable shots.

[06:55] ---
    He will always get the second one.
[06:57] ---
    Nice save, Wakashimazu.
[07:00] ---
    Go!
[07:01] ---
    All right, let's go.
[07:03] ---
    We're not done yet.
[07:05] ---
    Pierre isn't the only one on this team.
[07:10] ---
    It's quickly intercepted.
[07:12] ---
    Go!
[07:14] ---
    You may've gotten a point,
    but we'll take it right back.
[07:16] ---
    Get the ball back right away.
[07:19] ---
    Pierre.
[07:20] ---
    The ball is back with Pierre.
[07:22] ---
    Will he shoot again?
[07:24] ---
    -Here.
    -All right.
[07:26] ---
    A one-two return to Napoleon
    in front of the goal.

[07:29] ---
    But Izawa is marking Napoleon.
[07:32] ---
    You're not getting through.
[07:33] ---
    Why, you.
[07:37] ---
    I'm getting the goal!
[07:39] ---
    Napoleon aggressively shakes off
    Izawa's mark.

[07:46] ---
    Cannon Shot!
[07:51] ---
    And he shoots.
[07:57] ---
    But Wakashimazu stops this one too.
[07:59] ---
    What?
[08:03] ---
    And the loose ball...
[08:05] ---
    Got it.
[08:07] ---
    Bossis shoots!
[08:09] ---
    Goal! It's in!
[08:13] ---
    France makes it
    a two-point difference again.

[08:16] ---
    Yeah, way to go, France.
[08:19] ---
    Nice shot, Bossis.
[08:25] ---
    Guys.
[08:29] ---
    No goal.
[08:30] ---
    What?
[08:31] ---
    France's goal is denied.
[08:34] ---
    It's a foul on Napoleon for pushing
    through in his previous move.

[08:38] ---
    N-No way.
[08:40] ---
    Phew.
[08:42] ---
    That ref isn't just on France's side.
[08:46] ---
    A referee must always be impartial.
[08:50] ---
    I-Izawa.
[08:51] ---
    Izawa is down!
[08:57] ---
    He looks to have injured his shin,
    I see blood.

[09:00] ---
    -Izawa!
    -Are you all right?
[09:03] ---
    Will he be able to continue?
[09:06] ---
    Coach! Let me go in.
[09:13] ---
    Misugi.
[09:15] ---
    Izawa, can you stand?
[09:16] ---
    So much blood.
[09:18] ---
    I think this means Izawa is out.
[09:21] ---
    He leaves the pitch
    supported by his team mates.

[09:25] ---
    Coach.
[09:27] ---
    I played over thirty minutes
    in the Tokyo tournament finals.
[09:31] ---
    I can do twenty minutes
    in the second half. Put me in.
[09:38] ---
    All right.
[09:39] ---
    Misugi subs in for Izawa.
[09:43] ---
    He started mid-match against Argentina
[09:46] ---
    and scored a goal
    with a mesmerizing overhead kick.

[09:49] ---
    It's the Young Noble of the Field.
[09:51] ---
    Jun Misugi.
    Japan's secret weapon is on the pitch.

[09:55] ---
    He's...
[09:56] ---
    ...the one who got
    the fifth goal against Argentina.
[10:00] ---
    Good job, Izawa.
[10:02] ---
    I'm counting on you, Misugi.
[10:04] ---
    All right.
[10:05] ---
    Guys, leave the defense to me.
    Including marking Napoleon.
[10:09] ---
    Misugi.
[10:10] ---
    But in return, I need you
    on offense, Tsubasa.
[10:13] ---
    Okay.
[10:14] ---
    And a free kick
    by Japan restarts the match.

[10:18] ---
    Tsubasa.
[10:19] ---
    To Captain Tsubasa.
[10:21] ---
    Let's go, Pierre.
[10:23] ---
    Tsubasa deliberately heads towards
    the French captain, Pierre.

[10:29] ---
    The French general Elle Sid Pierre.
[10:32] ---
    If I get by him,
    our morale will sky rocket,

[10:34] ---
    and it'll be a major blow to France.
[10:37] ---
    Tsubasa thinks the same way.
[10:41] ---
    Great strategy, Tsubasa.
[10:42] ---
    Get by him, and you'll change
    the course of this entire match.

[10:47] ---
    It's a duel between captains.
[10:50] ---
    Come on, it's showtime, Elle Sid Pierre.
[10:52] ---
    Tsubasa.
[10:54] ---
    Pierre.
[10:56] ---
    Everyone in France is depending on me.
[10:59] ---
    Will Tsubasa get by him?
    Or will Pierre shut him down?

[11:03] ---
    I can't lose.
[11:07] ---
    I was born into a rich family.
[11:09] ---
    Being the son of a billionaire...
[11:11] ---
    That's the only reason.
[11:13] ---
    Vandalism again.
[11:17] ---
    People were jealous of me.
[11:20] ---
    Master Pierre, what shall I get you today?
[11:24] ---
    Hey, I told you,
    quit standing around here gawking.
[11:26] ---
    And others treated me
    better than they should have.

[11:30] ---
    Just when I had had enough of it all,
    I discovered soccer.

[11:36] ---
    None of that matters in soccer.
[11:39] ---
    Everyone plays by the same rules,
    and the same conditions.

[11:42] ---
    Your background, your wealth,
    it's all irrelevant.

[11:44] ---
    We all go after the same ball.
[11:48] ---
    I came to love this sport called soccer.
[11:56] ---
    Elle!
[11:58] ---
    So...
[11:59] ---
    I won't lose to anyone.
    Not in soccer, the game I love.

[12:10] ---
    Ouch! There's a head-on collision.
[12:14] ---
    Pierre wins this one.
[12:16] ---
    Tsubasa.
[12:17] ---
    Even Tsubasa couldn't handle it.
[12:19] ---
    Good, Pierre! Way to go.
[12:22] ---
    France wins the duel of captains.
    This is sure to fire up the team.

[12:26] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[12:28] ---
    Yeah!
[12:29] ---
    Crap.
[12:30] ---
    They're on a roll
    and are coming to attack.
[12:32] ---
    Everyone, calm down.
[12:34] ---
    Misugi.
[12:35] ---
    Let's go, defense.
[12:39] ---
    A quick attack from France
    by the playmaker Pierre.

[12:42] ---
    Napoleon.
[12:43] ---
    Yo.
[12:45] ---
    Pass into Napoleon!
[12:46] ---
    It goes through cleanly.
[12:50] ---
    Oh, but he's offside.
[12:53] ---
    What?
[12:56] ---
    Napoleon.
[12:57] ---
    Yo.
[13:00] ---
    That Number 24 gave the signal
    and the defense line moved up.

[13:08] ---
    An offside trap by Japan.
[13:12] ---
    All right, we did it.
[13:15] ---
    We can do it, too.
[13:17] ---
    That's right.
[13:18] ---
    We practiced this trick with Misugi.
[13:21] ---
    They gave France back their offside trap.
[13:25] ---
    Nice, Japan.
[13:27] ---
    I don't believe it.
[13:30] ---
    The ball once again
    goes from Misugi to Tsubasa.

[13:33] ---
    Tsubasa couldn't get by Pierre.
[13:35] ---
    What tactic will he use this time?
[13:38] ---
    All right.
[13:40] ---
    What's this?

[13:53] ---
    Once again, Tsubasa heads for Pierre.
[13:57] ---
    -What?
    -Tsubasa!
[13:59] ---
    Today, in this match,
    getting by Pierre is everything!

[14:03] ---
    Tsubasa.
[14:05] ---
    Three years ago,
    it was another rainy semifinal.

[14:08] ---
    Misugi's skills almost made me give up.
[14:14] ---
    No matter how strong my opponent,
    I'll never give up.

[14:19] ---
    No matter how many times I lose,
    I'll keep going back until I win.

[14:22] ---
    That's how I'll make it
    to world number one.

[14:26] ---
    Tsubasa.
[14:28] ---
    It's a one-on-one
    between Tsubasa and Pierre.

[14:31] ---
    What's with this guy?
[14:33] ---
    You already tried once
    and couldn't get by me.

[14:35] ---
    And still, he comes head on at me.
[14:40] ---
    Is your confidence telling you
    you can actually get by me?
[14:44] ---
    Or are you just stupid?
[14:46] ---
    So call me stupid, I'm stupid for soccer.
[14:49] ---
    I'll get by you this time!
    It's all about the speed.
[15:03] ---
    He got by! From a steady dribble
    to searing speed in a second.

[15:07] ---
    It's a battle between the elegant beast
    and the free-flying falcon.

[15:11] ---
    Tsubasa won this one.
[15:14] ---
    Pierre.
[15:15] ---
    Tsubasa!
[15:16] ---
    Tsubasa's dribble continues to gain speed
    even after getting by Pierre.

[15:21] ---
    N-No way.
[15:23] ---
    France, on the other hand,
[15:24] ---
    Captain Pierre can't hide
    his surprise at being passed.

[15:28] ---
    Roberto taught me this dribble.
[15:31] ---
    And Roberto may already be
    on a flight back to Brazil.

[15:37] ---
    That memento from Roberto...
[15:39] ---
    This is my...
[15:43] ---
    Here I go!
[15:44] ---
    It's his signature long shot!
[15:48] ---
    Drive Shot!
[15:52] ---
    Tearing through the rainy French sky...
[15:59] ---
    It's in! Tsubasa's Drive Shot!
[16:05] ---
    You did it, Tsubasa!
[16:06] ---
    We're tied.
[16:08] ---
    They're tied.
[16:09] ---
    Fifteen minutes into the second half,
[16:10] ---
    and the ten members
    of Team Japan have tied it up.

[16:15] ---
    All right.
[16:16] ---
    We caught up.
[16:17] ---
    Nice Drive Shot.
[16:19] ---
    Tsubasa.
[16:22] ---
    Excellent, Tsubasa.
[16:24] ---
    The perfect execution of the
    South American Drive Shot I taught you.
[16:29] ---
    Only Captain Tsubasa.
[16:31] ---
    Putting Misugi in
    was a success too, Coach.
[16:34] ---
    Yeah.
[16:35] ---
    Coach, I'll go let Soda know.
[16:39] ---
    The match started
    with a first goal by Tsubasa.
[16:42] ---
    But, France immediately caught up
    with Pierre's Slider Shot.
[16:46] ---
    After Soda's dramatic ejection,
[16:49] ---
    Pierre easily got the penalty kick
    and made it 2-1.
[16:52] ---
    Then France managed to add
    another point with Napoleon's shot,
[16:55] ---
    going into half time with 3-1.
[16:59] ---
    But the second half
    saw Japan make their come back.
[17:03] ---
    At the seven-minute mark, it was Hyuga.
[17:04] ---
    And now, at the 15-minute mark,
    it's Tsubasa who scored to tie it 3-3.
[17:12] ---
    The other captain... That one point
    he got by getting by Pierre is huge.
[17:17] ---
    Yeah.
[17:18] ---
    Again, there's no telling
    how this'll turn out.
[17:21] ---
    T-Tie.
[17:23] ---
    I see, the guys did it.
[17:26] ---
    Fifteen minutes left,
    and Japan is setting the pace now.
[17:29] ---
    We can do it.
[17:36] ---
    I was completely outplayed.
[17:40] ---
    P-Pierre.
[17:42] ---
    Allez France! Allez France!
[17:45] ---
    Allez France! Allez France!
[17:49] ---
    Allez France! Allez France!
[17:52] ---
    Go France!
[17:54] ---
    It's still tied, you haven't lost!
[17:57] ---
    Play your own soccer, and you'll win!
[17:59] ---
    Go, France Junior Youth!
[18:02] ---
    That's right. We have all these
    amazing fans behind us.

[18:08] ---
    We can't repay them
    with anything but perfection.

[18:13] ---
    They're short a player.
[18:15] ---
    As the game goes on,
    they're going to get tired.
[18:19] ---
    We may be tied,
    but we still have the advantage.
[18:22] ---
    Don't give up.
[18:24] ---
    All right.
[18:27] ---
    All right, let's go, everyone.
[18:30] ---
    The overwhelming support of the crowd
    lifts Team France, helping them

[18:32] ---
    put up one heck of a fight.
[18:34] ---
    Let's put up a solid defense.
[18:36] ---
    All right.
[18:39] ---
    Defense.
[18:41] ---
    Attack! Get a goal!
[18:44] ---
    But with Misugi in for Japan,
    the defense is even tighter.

[18:49] ---
    They won't give up a point that easily.
[18:51] ---
    They have an offside trap too.
[18:54] ---
    We can't send the ball
    in front of the goal without thinking.

[18:59] ---
    Here, Napoleon!
[19:02] ---
    What?
[19:03] ---
    This is an unexpected pass behind.
[19:05] ---
    All right, I'll put it in.
[19:07] ---
    Louis Napoleon, French ace, with a...
[19:13] ---
    Cannon Shot!
[19:24] ---
    But the long shot by Napoleon is stopped
    by Goalie Wakashimazu's diving catch.

[19:30] ---
    Shoot.
[19:31] ---
    Nice, Wakashimazu.
[19:34] ---
    That injury Schneider gave me
    back in the beginning of the tour...

[19:38] ---
    It's making me lose the grip
    in my right hand.

[19:41] ---
    That goalie...
[19:43] ---
    Both teams are taking turns
    attacking and defending here

[19:46] ---
    at the first International Junior Youth
    Tournament in France.

[19:50] ---
    Head for the goal!
[19:51] ---
    Stop them!
[19:52] ---
    Don't let them have the ball.
[19:56] ---
    All this rain from the start
    of the second half...

[19:59] ---
    It's making the pitch extremely muddy.
[20:02] ---
    Time keeps ticking by.
[20:07] ---
    We have less than ten minutes.
[20:09] ---
    Chances are the next point
    will be the game winner.

[20:20] ---
    Tsubasa has the ball.
[20:23] ---
    It's Number 10 again.
    Don't leave him alone!
[20:26] ---
    Mark him, France.
[20:28] ---
    -Crap.
    -Crush him!
[20:30] ---
    France tackles!
[20:32] ---
    All right.
[20:33] ---
    But Tsubasa evades and passes mid-air.
[20:37] ---
    The ball goes to Misaki.
[20:39] ---
    But Misaki has Pierre on him.
[20:42] ---
    Like Tsubasa, will Misaki
    challenge him to a one-on-one?
[20:48] ---
    No, he passes.
[20:49] ---
    Here, Misaki.
[20:51] ---
    It's a superb one-two return with Tsubasa.
[20:55] ---
    Just as I thought,
    I'll intercept the return pass.

[20:58] ---
    But Pierre has read the return pass?
[21:03] ---
    What!
[21:05] ---
    Pierre slips on the muddy pitch!
[21:10] ---
    I'll stop him.
[21:12] ---
    All right.
[21:13] ---
    Kojiro.
[21:14] ---
    Misaki sends Hyuga a final pass.
[21:17] ---
    -Darn.
    -O-Oh no.
[21:19] ---
    A superb pass that goes between
    the French defense.

[21:22] ---
    All right, got it.
[21:24] ---
    I, Kojiro Hyuga,
    will score the winning point.
[21:30] ---
    What?
[21:31] ---
    Oh, it's stopped!
[21:32] ---
    Hyuga can't shoot like this!
[21:37] ---
    Phew.
[21:38] ---
    For France,
    that is truly one lucky puddle.

[21:41] ---
    Now the stopped ball
[21:42] ---
    has been picked up
    by the forward Napoleon, who has returned.

[21:46] ---
    The goddess of victory seems
    to have smiled down on us, after all.
[21:50] ---
    Let's go, Pierre.
[21:51] ---
    Napoleon.
[21:53] ---
    Go France!
[21:55] ---
    Show them the ultimate attack!
[21:59] ---
    Let's go! Eiffel Attack!
[22:03] ---
    Eiffel Attack?
