    The penalty shootout starts now.
[00:03] ---
    Five members from each team
    will take turns shooting for the goal.

[00:07] ---
    If that doesn't decide it,
    they will take turns until it does.

[00:12] ---
    Will fortune smile on Japan or France?
[00:19] ---
    Wakashimazu, the Japanese goalie
    enters the goal.

    THE MIRACLE FIST
[01:54] ---
    Pierre, Pierre!
[01:57] ---
    Pierre, Pierre!
[01:59] ---
    Pierre, Pierre!
[02:01] ---
    Pierre, Pierre!
[02:03] ---
    Pierre, Pierre!
[02:05] ---
    Pierre, Pierre, Pierre!
[02:09] ---
    Get it, Pierre!
[02:10] ---
    We're counting on you, Wakashimazu.
[02:12] ---
    This is no different from
    what you always do.
[02:15] ---
    Go, Wakashimazu!
[02:17] ---
    Wakashimazu is Japan's goalie.
[02:20] ---
    Under ordinary circumstances
    penalty shootouts are his strong point.

[02:24] ---
    Let's hope his injured hand and fatigue
    don't lower his reflexes too much.

[02:29] ---
    That penalty kick from before...
[02:31] ---
    I missed because the angle of his foot
    tripped me up.

[02:35] ---
    Okay, it's to the right.
[02:38] ---
    This time will be different.
[02:44] ---
    With the crowd's cheers behind him,
    Pierre takes his approach.

[02:51] ---
    Opposite of where the pivot foot points!
[02:53] ---
    Go!
[02:56] ---
    It's in! It went exactly where
    the pivot foot pointed.

[03:00] ---
    Wakashimazu misread the direction!
[03:03] ---
    C-Crap!
[03:04] ---
    France gets the first point,
    which makes it 1-0.

[03:07] ---
    All right, guys. Follow my lead.
[03:09] ---
    Yeah!
[03:11] ---
    With his reputation as captain
[03:12] ---
    on the line, Elle Sid Pierre makes
    the first penalty goal.

[03:16] ---
    Will Japan's Captain Tsubasa
    also be the first one up?

[03:21] ---
    Amoros, Amoros, Amoros!
[03:24] ---
    Amoros, Amoros, Amoros!
[03:27] ---
    Amoros, Amoros!
[03:28] ---
    Japan makes Hyuga
    their first player to go up.

[03:33] ---
    Kojiro Hyuga, the ace striker for Japan.
[03:36] ---
    No doubt he's feeling the pressure
    of being the first player to kick.

[03:41] ---
    Hyuga's first up for Japan.
[03:43] ---
    Go for it!
[03:45] ---
    Kojiro.
[03:47] ---
    The stadium reverberates
    with chants for Goalie Amoros.

[03:51] ---
    The home team is making
    their voices heard,

[03:53] ---
    and they demand France goes to the final.
[03:58] ---
    Get out of here!
[03:59] ---
    Hope you miss!
[04:07] ---
    Their determination is like they're
    certain they won't allow a single goal.

[04:16] ---
    Tsubasa.
[04:17] ---
    Hyuga, ignore the crowd. Just go for it.
[04:21] ---
    Right.
[04:33] ---
    Hyuga's right leg is injured,
    but will he kick with it?

[04:41] ---
    It's...
[04:42] ---
    all I've got.
[04:44] ---
    Tiger Shot!
[04:50] ---
    Goal!
[04:52] ---
    It's in!
[04:54] ---
    The ball goes straight
    from the penalty mark to the goal.

[04:57] ---
    The goalie, Amoros, couldn't move!
[05:01] ---
    S-So fast.
[05:04] ---
    It's an impressive goal by Hyuga!
[05:06] ---
    His injured leg didn't stop him
    from smashing that ball hard!

[05:08] ---
    He makes his penalty kick
    on grit and tenacity alone.

[05:12] ---
    France and Japan have each
    made one, and the score is 1-1.

[05:16] ---
    All right, I did it.
[05:18] ---
    Nice shot, Hyuga.
[05:20] ---
    It's 1-1 now.
[05:22] ---
    Bossis is up second for France.
[05:25] ---
    The chants go from Amoros to Bossis.
[05:30] ---
    I'll stop it this time!
[05:32] ---
    Let's cheer 'em on, guys.
[05:33] ---
    Let's go! You can do it! I know you can!
[05:38] ---
    That's strange.
[05:39] ---
    The match should be over by now.
[05:45] ---
    You got this.
[05:47] ---
    Bossis shoots!
[05:52] ---
    Oh, Wakashimazu stopped it!
[05:55] ---
    What?
[06:00] ---
    Wakashimazu!
[06:01] ---
    Phew.
[06:02] ---
    Oh, it's no good.
[06:04] ---
    It seemed a done deal, but...
[06:06] ---
    Seems Wakashimazu has little
    to no strength left in his right hand.

[06:10] ---
    It was slapped away
    and went into the goal.

[06:13] ---
    It's 2-1 France. Success number two.
[06:16] ---
    I did it, guys.
[06:18] ---
    Nice, Bossis.
[06:20] ---
    Wakashimazu definitely would've
    been able to stop that.

[06:22] ---
    This must hurt for Japan.
[06:25] ---
    Sh-Shoot.
[06:27] ---
    Wakashimazu.
[06:31] ---
    Keep fighting. Come on, Wakashimazu.
[06:35] ---
    Who will be up second for Japan?
[06:41] ---
    It's Matsuyama.
[06:43] ---
    Just like in that match against Furano,
    he's wearing his headband.

[06:50] ---
    France has gotten both
    their first and second.

[06:54] ---
    Japan can't be the first to miss.
[06:57] ---
    Can Matsuyama follow in Hyuga's footsteps
    and score the penalty kick?

[07:02] ---
    We're fighting here now
[07:04] ---
    for all those Japanese players
    who couldn't make it here.

[07:08] ---
    I can't miss.
[07:15] ---
    And for Soda back there,
    I'll get this penalty kick!

[07:24] ---
    Eagle Shot!
[07:34] ---
    It's in!
[07:36] ---
    The penalty shootout between Japan
    and France is currently tied at 2-2.

[07:42] ---
    Amoros jumped in the right direction,
    but Matsuyama's Eagle Shot

[07:45] ---
    went straight into the net
    before he could reach.

[07:50] ---
    Matsuyama.
[07:52] ---
    The third player to go for France
    is Michel Ferreri.

[07:57] ---
    Ferreri! Ferreri!
[07:59] ---
    Ferreri! Ferreri!
[08:02] ---
    But how is Wakashimazu's right hand
    feeling now?

[08:05] ---
    Can he really stop a shot?
[08:07] ---
    You can do it, Wakashimazu.
[08:09] ---
    You got this!
[08:11] ---
    Ferreri! Ferreri!
[08:14] ---
    Ferreri! Ferreri!
[08:16] ---
    Ferreri! Ferreri! Ferreri!
[08:19] ---
    Ferreri approaches and shoots!
[08:25] ---
    Goal! It's in! France makes it 3-2.
[08:33] ---
    It's no use, without my right hand
    in order, I can't stop it.

[08:39] ---
    Good going, Ferreri.
[08:41] ---
    Nice shot!
[08:43] ---
    Wakashimazu was trying to protect
[08:45] ---
    his injured hand by going after the ball
    on his right side with his left hand.

[08:48] ---
    But he just couldn't reach it.
[08:51] ---
    France stays one point ahead.
    Another tough one for Japan.

[08:54] ---
    And the third person is...
[08:56] ---
    Oh, it's Misaki!
[08:58] ---
    Taro Misaki steps up as the third kicker.
[09:07] ---
    Taro.
[09:08] ---
    Go! Just ignore them.
[09:11] ---
    Get it in, Misaki.
[09:16] ---
    I can't miss.
[09:18] ---
    Otherwise this match
    will be my last one with the guys.

[09:25] ---
    I'm going to play
    one more match with them.

[09:28] ---
    I'm going to play in the final
    against Germany with everyone.

[09:32] ---
    This tournament has finally helped me
    make up my mind.

[09:38] ---
    I've been struggling with it
    ever since I got here.

[09:42] ---
    No matter how many years it takes my dad
    to return to Japan to paint Mt. Fuji...

[09:47] ---
    As a citizen of Japan, I will continue
    to wear the flag and play for my country.

[09:53] ---
    No more doubts, no more worrying.
[09:56] ---
    For the rest of my life, I'm going to play
    for Japan with Tsubasa and the guys.

[10:03] ---
    Misaki takes his time with the approach.
[10:06] ---
    Misaki.

    BIRTH DATE DECEMBER 29 / HEIGHT 172 CM

[10:25] ---
    Goal by Misaki! It's in!
    Just barely in on the left side.

[10:29] ---
    No way the goalie could've reached that!
[10:31] ---
    Amazing control.
[10:33] ---
    All right!
[10:35] ---
    Nice shot, Misaki.
[10:37] ---
    -Well done!
    -Misaki!
[10:40] ---
    Thanks, guys.
[10:42] ---
    And once again it's a 3-3 tie.
[10:45] ---
    Neither team has missed!
[10:47] ---
    The tension continues.
[10:49] ---
    The fourth kicker for France is Jean Rust.
[10:54] ---
    Rust! Rust! Rust!
[10:58] ---
    I'll stop it.
[10:59] ---
    I don't need to catch it,
    I just need to knock it away.

[11:01] ---
    I'll stop it with my right hand.
[11:04] ---
    Japan needs to stop this one!
[11:07] ---
    The wounded lion, Goalie Wakashimazu.
[11:10] ---
    His solitary battle carries on.
[11:13] ---
    Rust! Rust! Rust!
[11:16] ---
    Rust! Rust!
[11:17] ---
    Which way will Rust kick?
[11:20] ---
    They know about Wakashimazu's injury,
[11:22] ---
    and so far, all three have kicked it
    to the right side of the goal.

[11:26] ---
    What will Rust do?
[11:28] ---
    This time for sure, with this right hand.
[11:31] ---
    Goalie Wakashimazu seems to have
    anticipated, jumping to the right.

[11:36] ---
    Oh, it's gone to the left!
[11:39] ---
    The opposite of Wakashimazu's read.
[11:41] ---
    Blast it.
[11:43] ---
    France doesn't miss.
[11:46] ---
    Just as they practiced,
[11:48] ---
    they continue to accurately put the ball
    into the corners of the goal.

[11:51] ---
    Nice, Rust! Good going!
[11:54] ---
    Looks like Captain Pierre
    is directing where to kick.

[12:00] ---
    The fourth one to try for Japan is Misugi.
[12:03] ---
    He's at a disadvantage
    with his heart problem,

[12:06] ---
    but with no more substitutions,
    he's battled through it all.

[12:10] ---
    A true warrior, Jun Misugi.
[12:13] ---
    He's officially in the fourth kicker
    in this penalty kick out.

[12:17] ---
    Misugi, you wouldn't let me
    convince you otherwise.

[12:20] ---
    I'm rooting for you, kid.
[12:23] ---
    Jun! Jun is...
[12:26] ---
    Are you all right, Misugi?
[12:28] ---
    Misugi.
[12:30] ---
    I'm fine. Just sit back and watch.
[12:33] ---
    This is my final duty this tournament.
    Don't worry.
[12:42] ---
    I feel it.
[12:43] ---
    I can hear it.
[12:44] ---
    My heart gets stronger every time I play.
[12:54] ---
    Here I go!
[12:55] ---
    Misugi, with a lighter approach, shoots!
[13:02] ---
    Goal! He skillfully puts it
    into the left corner!

[13:07] ---
    Nice shot, Jun!
[13:10] ---
    He did it!
[13:11] ---
    All right!
[13:12] ---
    For Misugi, the penalty kick
    has become his crowning glory.

[13:18] ---
    Wakashimazu, I did it.
[13:22] ---
    Misugi.
[13:26] ---
    Napoleon!
[13:28] ---
    The fifth man up for France is Napoleon!
[13:31] ---
    Japan no doubt will now send in
    their captain, Tsubasa.

[13:36] ---
    I'm counting on you, Napoleon.
[13:39] ---
    Yeah.
[13:42] ---
    If these two can't settle it,
[13:44] ---
    then they'll come out one by one,
[13:46] ---
    and keep going until one misses.
[13:48] ---
    That makes this fifth kicker
    all the more critical.

[13:54] ---
    Japan's goalie.
[13:56] ---
    How dare you get in the way
    of my three hat tricks in three matches!

[14:01] ---
    But I haven't given up
    on being top scorer.

[14:04] ---
    Just two points stand
    between me and leader Schneider.

[14:07] ---
    Overturning it in the final
    is totally a possibility.

[14:12] ---
    It's all or nothing.
    I'm going to the right again.

[14:15] ---
    If Misugi can put his life on the line...
[14:19] ---
    then what's the big deal about this hand?
[14:25] ---
    Napoleon starts his approach.
[14:28] ---
    That right hand! You can kiss it good bye.
[14:32] ---
    Napoleon shoots!
[14:34] ---
    Take that, Cannon Shot!
[14:43] ---
    You want at my hand? Come and get it then!
[14:46] ---
    Karate Punch Defense!
[14:51] ---
    He stopped it!
[14:52] ---
    Wakashimazu's Karate Punch Defense has
    destroyed Napoleon's Cannon Shot.

[14:57] ---
    Wh-What?
[14:58] ---
    With the fifth player up,
    France misses the penalty kick.

[15:01] ---
    Wakashimazu overcomes his injury!
[15:04] ---
    His right hand pulls off
    a super golden defense!

[15:08] ---
    See that? I stopped it!
[15:12] ---
    Ken Wakashimazu, the Karate Keeper,
    is still alive and punching.

[15:17] ---
    Wakashimazu!
[15:18] ---
    H-He did it!
[15:19] ---
    Amazing!
[15:21] ---
    Well done, Wakashimazu.
[15:23] ---
    With the fifth kicker,
    Wakashimazu finally stops one.

[15:27] ---
    Not only that, he stops
    France's ace striker Napoleon!

[15:32] ---
    N-No way.
[15:35] ---
    Napoleon.
[15:38] ---
    Nice defense, Wakashimazu.
[15:41] ---
    My right arm is as good as dead.
[15:44] ---
    The rest is up to you, Tsubasa.
[15:48] ---
    And as the fifth kicker,
    the captain of Japan Junior Youth,

[15:53] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora, steps up.
[15:56] ---
    Nice one, Wakashimazu.
[15:57] ---
    You went for it,
    completely forgetting your injury.

[16:01] ---
    I won't let that fighting spirit
    go to waste.

[16:03] ---
    Tsubasa!
[16:04] ---
    We're counting on you.
[16:05] ---
    France misses with number five.
[16:07] ---
    Japan team so far have four members.
[16:09] ---
    Hyuga, Matsuyama, Misaki and Misugi
    who have all scored.

[16:14] ---
    If Tsubasa scores,
    Japan wins and goes to the final.

[16:19] ---
    Tsubasa!
[16:21] ---
    Tsubasa.
[16:22] ---
    Get it in!
[16:23] ---
    Tsubasa, don't miss.
[16:25] ---
    Tsubasa.
[16:27] ---
    Miss! Miss!
[16:31] ---
    Not surprisingly, the home crowd wants
    anything but a goal from Tsubasa.

[16:37] ---
    Miss! Miss! Miss!
[16:45] ---
    The ball is my friend.
[16:50] ---
    Tsubasa is smiling.
[16:53] ---
    It's done.
[16:54] ---
    Japan has won, Coach Barbas.
[16:59] ---
    Tsubasa initiates his approach.
[17:03] ---
    Let's go!
[17:05] ---
    Tsubasa shoots!
[17:08] ---
    Amoros jumps to the left!
[17:11] ---
    And the ball goes to the left!
[17:26] ---
    Tsubasa's superb goal
    is in the left corner of the net.

[17:30] ---
    I-It's in! Japan!
[17:33] ---
    They win the penalty shootout
    with 5-4 and go on to the final!

[17:38] ---
    We did it, we did it!
[17:41] ---
    In this most critical of moments,
    Tsubasa would never miss.

[17:46] ---
    Tsubasa!
[17:47] ---
    We won! We won, Wakashimazu!
    It's all thanks to you.
[17:51] ---
    We really won, Tsubasa.
[17:53] ---
    Yeah.
[17:55] ---
    Wakashimazu, we won!
[17:57] ---
    -We won! We won!
    -Nice shot, Tsubasa!
[18:01] ---
    -We're going to the final!
    -We did it!
[18:03] ---
    We beat France!
[18:06] ---
    And what a battle that was.
[18:08] ---
    This semifinal against France.
[18:10] ---
    Team Japan had to fight with only ten
    almost as soon as the match began.

[18:14] ---
    That's why we didn't see
    their usual offensive game,

[18:17] ---
    as they concentrated on defense.
[18:20] ---
    Japan had to stick to playing
    an endurance game.

[18:23] ---
    But that tenacity brought them a miracle!
[18:27] ---
    Yay, we did it!
[18:29] ---
    They're going to the final!
[18:31] ---
    Only Tsubasa.
[18:34] ---
    Tsubasa.
[18:35] ---
    Matsuyama!
[18:37] ---
    Congratulations, Jun!
[18:39] ---
    This calls for a toast!
[18:42] ---
    Everyone, well done!
[18:47] ---
    S-Sorry, guys. It's my fault.
[18:52] ---
    It's not your fault.
[18:54] ---
    That's right, Napoleon,
    that was an amazing shot.
[18:57] ---
    There's nothing you could've done
    about that one.
[18:59] ---
    Today was just his day.
[19:02] ---
    Guys.
[19:06] ---
    Napoleon.
[19:08] ---
    Our soccer doesn't end today.
[19:12] ---
    Everything begins today.
[19:14] ---
    France Junior Youth lost today.
[19:17] ---
    But this loss will make us stronger.
[19:21] ---
    French soccer will grow stronger.
[19:24] ---
    They now will strive to take down
    the incredible Team Japan.
[19:30] ---
    Misaki.
[19:31] ---
    Pierre.
[19:33] ---
    Our one-on-one showdown became
    a team effort, and today was our loss.
[19:38] ---
    But our battle has just begun.
[19:43] ---
    Pierre.
[19:46] ---
    One day, I'll challenge you again.
    You'll accept, right, Misaki?
[19:51] ---
    Yeah, Pierre.
[19:55] ---
    I didn't think Japan was so strong.
[19:58] ---
    France played really well.
[20:00] ---
    Both teams fought hard.
[20:02] ---
    Don't let this get you down!
[20:04] ---
    Congratulations, Misaki.
[20:06] ---
    I'll cheer for you in the final and
    for Japan, the victors against France.

[20:11] ---
    Warm applause and huge cheers
    for both teams for a well fought match.

[20:17] ---
    I sound like a broken record, folks,
    but both teams truly excelled.

[20:22] ---
    That's right.
[20:23] ---
    We gotta show our thanks to all
    the people who braved the rain
[20:27] ---
    and cheered us on till the end.
[20:28] ---
    Banzai! Banzai!
[20:31] ---
    Oh, they're all coming this way.
[20:33] ---
    Thank you for cheering for us
    until the very end, everyone.
[20:37] ---
    No biggie.
[20:38] ---
    Good luck in the final.
    We'll be cheering for you.
[20:42] ---
    Thank you.
[20:44] ---
    Schneider, Japan will be
    our opponent in the final.
[20:49] ---
    Yeah.
[20:49] ---
    But it doesn't matter who it is.
    The outcome will be the same.
[20:54] ---
    The winners will still be us,
    Germany Junior Youth.
[21:00] ---
    Roberto, since Japan won,
[21:02] ---
    I'll come back another day to talk
    to Tsubasa about recruiting him.
[21:07] ---
    Coach Barbas, who do you think
    will win the final?
[21:11] ---
    Unfortunately, I think it'll be Germany.
[21:14] ---
    Even with Tsubasa Ozora,
    I doubt Japan can beat Germany.
[21:20] ---
    If Japan does win,
    could you hold off on talking to him?
[21:26] ---
    What?
[21:27] ---
    I want to recruit him to Brazil first.
[21:32] ---
    Roberto!
[21:34] ---
    This is strange. Definitely strange.
[21:36] ---
    The match should be long over by now.
    And yet no one...
[21:42] ---
    Soda!
[21:44] ---
    We won! We won, Soda!
[21:46] ---
    It went into a penalty shootout,
[21:48] ---
    but Wakashimazu stopped them
    and Tsubasa scored and we won!
[21:51] ---
    Let's get you into the final!
[21:54] ---
    Guys. I see.
[21:58] ---
    That's great!
[22:00] ---
    Soda.
[22:01] ---
    Idiot, who cries at a time like this?
[22:03] ---
    But I was all by myself and so worried.
[22:07] ---
    Were you lonely?
