**[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:
JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
**[01:54] ---**
**[03:10] ---**
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!
