[00:00] ---
    What?
[00:01] ---
    Tsubasa kicks the ball into the air.
[00:04] ---
    All right.
[00:05] ---
    Right here.
[00:07] ---
    Tsubasa and Misaki with the Twin Shot.
[00:09] ---
    A marvel of a trick they showed
    only once three years ago.
[00:12] ---
    This time, they leap into the air
    for a Jumping Twin Shot!
[00:15] ---
    Go!
[00:19] ---
    The ball sways and heads directly
    to the French goal.
[00:22] ---
    Wh-What is this?
[00:25] ---
    Crap.
[00:26] ---
    The goalie jumps but can't get it!
[00:28] ---
    We did it, we're ahead.
[00:31] ---
    What bad luck!
[00:32] ---
    Excessive horizontal sway
    made the shot hit the goal post.
[00:36] ---
    Sadly that is no goal for the Twin Shot.
[00:39] ---
    Let's go.
[00:40] ---
    I'm the ace striker for France.
[00:42] ---
    I'll get a hat trick here
[00:43] ---
    and I, Louis Napoleon, will also be
    the top scorer of this tournament.
[00:47] ---
    Go! It's a Cannon Shot!
[00:51] ---
    Napoleon uses all his power
    and the Cannon Shot explodes.
[00:55] ---
    Here!
[00:56] ---
    What?
[00:57] ---
    I was waiting for this!
[00:59] ---
    I'm using the rebound from your shot!
[01:02] ---
    This is! My!
[01:05] ---
    Neo Tiger Shot!
[01:09] ---
    Hyuga kicks back!
[01:11] ---
    Tiger Shot meets Cannon Shot!
[01:14] ---
    What?
[01:15] ---
    -All right.
    -Whoa!
[01:17] ---
    Go!
[01:19] ---
    The ball is headed straight
    for France's goal.
[01:27] ---
    First half over! No goal!
[01:30] ---
    No goal!
[01:32] ---
    Hyuga's long shot went in, but
    unfortunately the ref says it's no goal.
[01:49] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:

    EPISODE 25
    A WOUNDED FINAL DEFENSE
[03:12] ---
    Excellent work, team.
[03:15] ---
    They attacked hard and you still managed
    to create two opportunities.
[03:19] ---
    The second half is going to be just
    as tough, but I want you to keep fighting.
[03:24] ---
    We've got ten minutes left.
    You have to give it your all and fight.
[03:27] ---
    Show 'em what you got. Show 'em
    JBoys soccer, and fight till the very end.
[03:33] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:35] ---
    Our entire focus has been
    on winning this tournament.
[03:40] ---
    Forget that, I don't want you
    thinking about winning anymore.
[03:43] ---
    What?
[03:44] ---
    Coach!
[03:45] ---
    Just focus on the match in front of you.
[03:47] ---
    I never thought Japan would be so tough.
[03:52] ---
    But now I know it's something you can
    understand only through playing them.
[03:55] ---
    We've got Pierre, but they've got
    Tsubasa Ozora, Number 10.
[04:00] ---
    And that's not all. They have
    the other eleven behind him all the way.
[04:06] ---
    Individually, their power is limited.
[04:08] ---
    But when they come together as a team,
    their strength is immeasurable.
[04:14] ---
    Tsubasa with a big pass behind him.
[04:17] ---
    Go for it, Hyuga.
[04:18] ---
    Take that! Behold my Tiger Shot...
[04:24] ---
    Behold the wrath of Team Japan!
[04:29] ---
    All right! Go, Tachibana twins.
[04:32] ---
    Yo.
[04:33] ---
    Let's go!
[04:34] ---
    And there it is!
    Aerial magic by the Tachibana twins.
[04:40] ---
    It's Skylab Hurricane!
[04:45] ---
    I-I can't! There's nothing left.
[04:48] ---
    Don't give up, Misaki!
[04:53] ---
    Misaki's blocked foot...
[04:56] ---
    Tsubasa comes up
    from behind and pushes.
[04:58] ---
    They get by Napoleon's stronghold!
    The Golden Duo is alive and well.
[05:03] ---
    All right.
[05:05] ---
    Misaki is flying.
[05:07] ---
    And Misaki takes the floating ball
    and immediately...
[05:11] ---
    A Jumping Volley!
[05:13] ---
    It's in!
[05:17] ---
    Japan Junior Youth is a tremendous team.
[05:19] ---
    So don't think about the final right now.
    Just focus on this match.
[05:23] ---
    Focus on giving it your all
    and beating this talented team!
[05:27] ---
    Yes, what coach says!
[05:29] ---
    We hold back nothing.
[05:32] ---
    Let's give it our all and take down Japan!
[05:35] ---
    All right.
[05:36] ---
    Both teams are in position.
[05:39] ---
    The first International Junior Youth
    Tournament, semi-finals second match,
[05:43] ---
    is tied 4-4, and now it's the end
    of the first half of overtime.
[05:47] ---
    In just a minute, the second half
    of overtime will commence.
[05:51] ---
    France has substituted out
    a fatigued Bravo and Zema
[05:56] ---
    for Montana and Belmondo
    in this second half.
[05:58] ---
    Looks like they are preparing
    for a fierce attack with four forwards.
[06:03] ---
    Meeting them head-on
    are the ten warriors from Japan.
[06:06] ---
    Just like in the first half,
[06:07] ---
    the goal for Japan is finding
    any opening in the French defense
[06:10] ---
    and breaking through.
[06:13] ---
    We are going to give it our all
    and take you down.
[06:17] ---
    Go ahead and come at me!
[06:18] ---
    We're not giving away any points.
[06:20] ---
    We'll give it everything.
[06:23] ---
    Let's go, French Eleven!
[06:25] ---
    Just one point wins!
[06:27] ---
    We're counting on you, Pierre.
[06:28] ---
    Team Japan, fight till the end!
[06:33] ---
    So, France has the advantage.
[06:35] ---
    Japan's managed to hang on
    in the first half,
[06:37] ---
    but France's attacks
    have exhausted them.
[06:46] ---
    And we're back.
[06:48] ---
    Whether you like it or not,
    we've got ten minutes left.
[06:50] ---
    Will it be Japan or France who makes it
    to the final to play against Germany?
[06:56] ---
    -Let's go, Misaki.
    -Yeah.
[06:59] ---
    First, we get rid of those two.
[07:01] ---
    Yeah!
[07:03] ---
    Right at the start of the second half,
    France rushes Japan's Golden Duo.
[07:07] ---
    They know that Japan
    has only these two for offense.
[07:11] ---
    Tsubasa!
[07:12] ---
    Misaki!
[07:14] ---
    Tsubasa, kicks wide to the side.
[07:18] ---
    Japan has one pillar of offense left.
[07:22] ---
    The unmarked Hyuga!
[07:24] ---
    No, Pierre is on him.
[07:29] ---
    Go for it, Pierre.
[07:30] ---
    Hyuga.
[07:31] ---
    If I can just get by you,
    then I'm unmarked!
[07:34] ---
    I can go straight for the goal.
[07:37] ---
    I swear it, this match is mine.
[07:41] ---
    They collide head-on.
    It's one against one.
[07:48] ---
    Hyuga.
[07:52] ---
    Oh, Hyuga's injured right leg
    is giving him trouble!
[07:57] ---
    Pierre with the tenacity
    of a French general gets the ball.
[08:02] ---
    Let's go, guys!
[08:04] ---
    Yeah!
[08:05] ---
    Waves of tricolor attacks
    begin again in this second half.
[08:11] ---
    Let's defend, guys.
[08:12] ---
    Yeah.
[08:14] ---
    Belmondo!
[08:15] ---
    The Elegant Pass Machine, Elle Sid Pierre,
[08:19] ---
    puts the ball in a good position
    in front of the Japanese goal.
[08:22] ---
    I got it!
[08:23] ---
    Just subbed in,
    the bubbling Belmondo runs in.
[08:28] ---
    Not a chance.
[08:32] ---
    Goalie Wakashimazu rushes out
    and punches it with his left hand.
[08:40] ---
    Wakashimazu!
[08:42] ---
    Wakashimazu hits his right arm hard again.
[08:45] ---
    He can't stand up.
[08:48] ---
    Bossis runs for the loose ball.
[08:51] ---
    The Japanese goal is wide open.
[08:53] ---
    It's mine.
[08:57] ---
    Not happening!
[09:00] ---
    Matsuyama with a do-or-die header
    and clears it.
[09:03] ---
    What?!
[09:04] ---
    Yay, Matsuyama.
[09:06] ---
    Stand up, Wakashimazu.
    We only have this match.
[09:12] ---
    Ten minutes left!
    What happened to fighting until the end?
[09:18] ---
    Napoleon gets the cleared ball.
[09:22] ---
    Take that!
[09:23] ---
    He shoots from a less-than optimal angle.
[09:26] ---
    Kazuo!
[09:27] ---
    Yeah.
[09:31] ---
    Go!
[09:36] ---
    They blocked it!
[09:38] ---
    -What?!
    -Nice one.
[09:40] ---
    The Tachibana twins, barely able to stand,
[09:42] ---
    use their Skylab Hurricane
    in a desperate defense.
[09:46] ---
    This semi-final is our last match, too.
[09:50] ---
    Not yet!
[09:52] ---
    But Pierre is running towards
    the cleared ball.
[09:56] ---
    What?!
[09:57] ---
    -Go, Pierre.
    -Oh crap.
[09:59] ---
    Japan's goal is wide open.
[10:02] ---
    This is it!
[10:07] ---
    The final blow in France's wave
    of attacks is Pierre's specialty,
[10:11] ---
    the Jumping Volley Shot!
[10:17] ---
    Wakashimazu stands up!
[10:25] ---
    And he stops the shot!
[10:27] ---
    What?!
[10:28] ---
    Wakashimazu!
[10:29] ---
    But the ball
    is being pulled into Japan's goal!
[10:33] ---
    Nice, Wakashimazu. Leave the rest to me.
[10:38] ---
    We're not giving up a single point.
[10:40] ---
    -What?!
    -Nice, Misugi.
[10:43] ---
    He defends!
    Misugi clears it with a bicycle kick.
[10:48] ---
    Team Japan endures
    the rush of shots from France.
[10:54] ---
    The rest is up to you, Tsubasa.
[10:57] ---
    And the ball goes
    straight to the captain, Tsubasa Ozora.
[11:02] ---
    Misugi.
[11:04] ---
    Let's go, Misaki. Let's rocket this ball
    into the French goal!
[11:09] ---
    Yeah.
[11:12] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[11:14] ---
    
[11:17] ---
    FRANCE JUNIOR YOUTH
[11:20] ---
    Team Japan endured France's
    three shooting attempts
[11:22] ---
    just as the second half of overtime began.
[11:25] ---
    And now, they begin their attack.
[11:29] ---
    I'm coming for you, France.
[11:31] ---
    Go Japan!
[11:36] ---
    But for Japan, only Tsubasa, Misaki,
    and Hyuga
[11:40] ---
    can launch an attack.
[11:44] ---
    And Hyuga, having reinjured
    his right leg in a clash with Pierre,
[11:50] ---
    is still unable to stand.
[11:52] ---
    Hyuga.
[11:53] ---
    Then I have to go.
[11:55] ---
    For our defenders,
[11:57] ---
    and for a shorter amount
    of defense time.
[12:00] ---
    We attack here!
    I won't give this ball up to anyone.
[12:08] ---
    Tsubasa uses his dribbling skills.
[12:10] ---
    It seemed he'd make a pass attack
    with Misaki because of the current pitch,
[12:14] ---
    but he's dribbling on his own.
[12:16] ---
    The French were anticipating a pass,
    but now they can't stop it!
[12:21] ---
    Tsubasa.
[12:23] ---
    All right, Tsubasa.
[12:25] ---
    Wow, he's fast.
[12:27] ---
    His dribbling really is something else.
[12:30] ---
    You... I'll stop you.
[12:33] ---
    That's right, Tsubasa. Go!
[12:38] ---
    Tsubasa dribbles
    and cuts toward the touchline.
[12:43] ---
    Touchline?
[12:45] ---
    He's...
[12:46] ---
    Nice, Tsubasa.
[12:49] ---
    It's this rain.
[12:50] ---
    The center of the pitch is torn up
    from all the cleats,
[12:54] ---
    but it's not as bad near the touchlines.
[12:58] ---
    And in that position,
[13:00] ---
    he only needs to worry about the players
    to the left of him.
[13:03] ---
    It's the easiest place to dribble.
[13:06] ---
    He can get to the French goal by himself.
[13:10] ---
    So that's what he's doing.
[13:12] ---
    Tsubasa continues dribbling
    for Japan's victory.
[13:18] ---
    I'm not going to lose.
[13:20] ---
    Japan's offense is all up to me.
[13:23] ---
    I'll get the winning goal!
[13:27] ---
    Hyuga!
[13:28] ---
    Go for it, Kojiro.
[13:30] ---
    Stop him, guys.
    Don't let him get any farther.
[13:34] ---
    Take that!
[13:36] ---
    Napoleon tackles from the left,
    but Tsubasa jumps and simply evades it.
[13:42] ---
    What?
[13:43] ---
    He's already in French territory.
[13:45] ---
    What's Tsubasa going to do?
[13:47] ---
    Will he cut into the goal from here?
[13:50] ---
    Don't let him through to the goal area.
[13:53] ---
    He can't cut in!
[13:55] ---
    France is furiously rounding in
    and defending.
[13:58] ---
    Does Tsubasa have something up his sleeve?
[14:01] ---
    He continues to dribble near the line.
[14:04] ---
    In the middle of the pitch,
    Misaki runs in parallel with Tsubasa.
[14:09] ---
    Clearly he's trying to get a pass out
    to Misaki.
[14:12] ---
    Don't let him get a centering pass.
[14:15] ---
    On Pierre's direction,
[14:16] ---
    France has three players
    build a formidable wall
[14:19] ---
    between Tsubasa and Misaki.
[14:21] ---
    They have blocked in Tsubasa's left side.
[14:25] ---
    Let's go, Misaki.
[14:26] ---
    Come, Tsubasa.
[14:28] ---
    Go!
[14:29] ---
    Tsubasa boldly kicks
    a centering pass to Misaki.
[14:33] ---
    Got it.
[14:34] ---
    It's not going through.
[14:36] ---
    But they've anticipated it.
    France goes to block the pass!
[14:42] ---
    Oh, but it's a Drive Pass by Tsubasa
    and it goes over their heads.
[14:47] ---
    What?!
[14:48] ---
    Drive Pass!
[14:54] ---
    All right.
[14:55] ---
    Japan's Golden Duo.
[14:57] ---
    This combination is a do-or-die one play .
[15:00] ---
    Tsubasa's Drive Pass gets around
    the opponent's block
[15:04] ---
    and turns into a direct
    Volley Shot by Misaki.
[15:07] ---
    Go, Misaki!
[15:09] ---
    Get it in, Misaki!
[15:11] ---
    Misaki was the one who got the tie goal
    right before regular time ended.
[15:15] ---
    Will he score the winning goal this time?
[15:18] ---
    I won't let him shoot.
[15:20] ---
    Oh, Pierre comes in to block.
[15:24] ---
    Pierre!
[15:25] ---
    Pierre!
[15:28] ---
    Then...
[15:30] ---
    Here!
[15:31] ---
    Misaki sees Pierre coming
    and changes to a heel pass.
[15:35] ---
    What?!
[15:36] ---
    Nice pass, Misaki.
[15:38] ---
    Hyuga is there.
[15:41] ---
    Injury may've delayed his help
    in the offense,
[15:43] ---
    but he's back in action
    and has come up this far.
[15:46] ---
    It's a triple-tier attack by Japan.
[15:48] ---
    A dream golden triple attack
    has become reality on this European tour.
[15:53] ---
    Go, Hyuga!
[15:55] ---
    Go!
[15:58] ---
    I don't care if my leg splinters
    into a million pieces.
[16:01] ---
    I'm gonna drive this into France's goal!
[16:06] ---
    Hyuga takes Misaki's heel pass
    and lets loose a running shot!
[16:10] ---
    The Tiger Shot explodes!
[16:13] ---
    Oh no!
[16:16] ---
    Pierre reacts to the shot,
    and he goes to block!
[16:21] ---
    No way you're scoring!
[16:29] ---
    He stopped it!
[16:30] ---
    Japan's triple attack
    cannot get through Pierre!
[16:37] ---
    N-No way.
[16:40] ---
    Crap!
[16:41] ---
    Nice, Pierre.
[16:43] ---
    Good save!
[16:45] ---
    From defense to offense,
    he's truly an all-rounder.
[16:48] ---
    Perfectly executing all aspects
    of the game is French captain,
[16:53] ---
    the French general, Elle Sid Pierre.
    A tremendous player.
[16:58] ---
    I told you.
    This match, we're winning this one.
[17:05] ---
    Pierre.
[17:07] ---
    What a player, Pierre.
[17:08] ---
    Yeah.
[17:10] ---
    Oh, Elle.
[17:13] ---
    Move up.
[17:14] ---
    And it's France's turn to attack again.
[17:18] ---
    Let's go. This time we're scoring!
[17:22] ---
    Yeah.
[17:23] ---
    Here they come.
[17:25] ---
    We defend again.
[17:27] ---
    Yeah, we're not giving away
    a single point.
[17:30] ---
    France attacks furiously again.
[17:33] ---
    Japan withstands.
[17:36] ---
    Misaki.
[17:37] ---
    Okay.
[17:39] ---
    Unable to sit by,
    Tsubasa and Misaki join the defense.
[17:44] ---
    Belmondo.
[17:47] ---
    Nice, Tsubasa.
[17:49] ---
    France's fierce attacks continue.
[17:55] ---
    France keeps the loose ball.
[17:58] ---
    Move up.
[17:59] ---
    Go!
[18:04] ---
    Nice, Hyuga.
[18:06] ---
    Hyuga.
[18:07] ---
    Hyuga was hanging back
    as the only one on offense
[18:10] ---
    but now joins the defense.
[18:11] ---
    You're not getting through.
[18:14] ---
    We're not losing!
[18:20] ---
    Team Japan defends
    with every last ounce of energy.
[18:22] ---
    They fight until the very end
    to defend Japan's goal.
[18:27] ---
    They're tough.
[18:28] ---
    What a team.
[18:30] ---
    Not yet!
[18:32] ---
    It's France's ball again!
[18:34] ---
    But there's no more time!
[18:36] ---
    Will this be the final attack?
[18:42] ---
    It's shot up.
[18:45] ---
    And that whistle signals
    the end of the match.
[18:48] ---
    It echoes throughout
    the brightening Parisian sky.
[18:54] ---
    Time over.
[18:56] ---
    Both teams fought hard, but time's up.
[19:00] ---
    It's 4-4, and even overtime
    couldn't decide this one
[19:04] ---
    and the semifinal between
    Japan and France ends in a tie.
[19:08] ---
    We move into a penalty shootout
    to determine who goes on to the final.
[19:14] ---
    In the end, we couldn't win!
[19:18] ---
    It's over.
[19:20] ---
    We defended.
[19:26] ---
    Are you all right, guys?
[19:28] ---
    Team Japan is utterly drained.
[19:30] ---
    But they fought well.
[19:32] ---
    From early in the match they've been
    battling with just ten players.
[19:38] ---
    This tie may very well be a win for them.
[19:42] ---
    Well done, guys.
[19:49] ---
    Warm applause from the stands
    for both teams that fought so hard.
[19:55] ---
    And fight hard they did,
[19:57] ---
    both Japan and France.
[20:03] ---
    Good job, France!
[20:06] ---
    You did well!
[20:08] ---
    Great game by both teams!
[20:11] ---
    Well done, Japan!
[20:13] ---
    Nice game, France, Japan!
[20:16] ---
    You guys are the best.
[20:19] ---
    Oh, Elle.
[20:25] ---
    Okay, guys, no time to bask in the glory.
[20:28] ---
    We still have the penalty shootout.
[20:31] ---
    Tsubasa.
[20:32] ---
    This time it's five against five.
[20:34] ---
    We are no longer down one.
[20:37] ---
    Yeah!
[20:43] ---
    Wakashimazu?
[20:45] ---
    Leave it to me. I'll stop 'em
    even if it pulverizes my arm.
[20:52] ---
    All right, guys. Penalty shootout.
[20:55] ---
    Let's do it like we practiced.
[20:57] ---
    All right.
[20:58] ---
    The penalty shootout starts now.
[21:01] ---
    Five members from each team
    will take turns shooting for the goal.
[21:06] ---
    If that doesn't decide it,
    they will take turns until it does.
[21:11] ---
    Will fortune smile on Japan or France?
[21:17] ---
    Tsubasa.
[21:19] ---
    They've gone to a penalty shootout.
[21:22] ---
    Which one will win?
[21:28] ---
    Wakashimazu, the Japanese goalie
    enters the goal.
[21:33] ---
    France kicks first.
[21:35] ---
    First one up
    is Captain Elle Sid Pierre himself.
[21:42] ---
    The all-important task
    of that first shot to decide
[21:44] ---
    who goes to the final
    goes to none other than Pierre.
[21:49] ---
    Pierre.
[21:50] ---
    Pierre! Pierre!
[21:52] ---
    Pierre! Pierre!
[21:55] ---
    Pierre! Pierre!
[21:57] ---
    Pierre! Pierre!
[21:59] ---
    Pierre! Pierre!
