[00:01] ---
    In the middle of the pitch,
    the two captains exchange banners.

[00:07] ---
    Let's make this a good match.
[00:10] ---
    We'll give it our all.
[00:13] ---
    And in this final, Japan has
    a surprise with their starting lineup.

[00:18] ---
    Genzo Wakabayashi
    will be protecting the goal today.

[00:22] ---
    It's his first appearance
    in the tournament.

[00:25] ---
    Wakabayashi?
[00:26] ---
    Wakabayashi is playing?
[00:29] ---
    Play for me too, Wakabayashi.
[00:33] ---
    Finally an opportunity
    to go one-on-one has come.

[00:37] ---
    Schneider, I'm not going to lose.

    EPISODE 28
    A SHOOTING STORM
[02:11] ---
    And it begins.
[02:13] ---
    It's Japan versus Germany,
    the final match of this first

[02:16] ---
    International Junior Youth
    Tournament in France.

[02:19] ---
    Go, Japan!
[02:20] ---
    The stadium is absolutely buzzing,
    and we haven't even started yet.

[02:25] ---
    All right, let's go, guys.
[02:28] ---
    Yeah.
[02:28] ---
    The old jerseys are off, folks, Germany
    Junior Youth is ready for battle.

[02:34] ---
    They're now donning their green
    visitor uniforms for the final.

[02:38] ---
    On the opposing side, we have
    Japan Junior Youth in white,

[02:41] ---
    huddled now in front of the bench.
[02:44] ---
    All right, guys.
[02:46] ---
    As I wrote in my report, defenders
    should go all out and mark Schneider.
[02:50] ---
    If it's from far out, you can let
    the other guys shoot without marking.
[02:55] ---
    But try and block as many passes
    to Schneider as you can.
[03:00] ---
    He can score against me
[03:03] ---
    about 50% of the time
    from outside the penalty area.
[03:09] ---
    Hyuga and I have never scored
    against Wakabayashi

[03:13] ---
    from outside the penalty area.
[03:17] ---
    Karl Heinz Schneider gets it
    50% of the time.

[03:23] ---
    Okay, don't forget.
    Just keep marking Schneider.
[03:27] ---
    Yeah.
[03:28] ---
    About the new goalie, Deuter Muller...
[03:34] ---
    I have no data on him.
[03:37] ---
    The only thing I got from watching him
    throw in the ball from the Uruguay match
[03:40] ---
    is that he's left handed.
[03:43] ---
    What I can say with certainty is that
    the addition of Muller
[03:46] ---
    has made Team Germany utterly flawless.
[03:52] ---
    The only one who can contend
    with that kind of team is Tsubasa.
[03:57] ---
    The combination of you and Misaki
[04:00] ---
    is as good as Schester and Kaltz,
    the German midfield.
[04:05] ---
    To sum it up, two things
    you have to keep in mind this match.
[04:12] ---
    Control the midfield and don't let
    Schneider get within shooting range!
[04:15] ---
    Board Muller with lots of shots.
[04:19] ---
    Germany is tough.
[04:21] ---
    We have to pull off these things,
    and it's our only chance!
[04:26] ---
    I'm counting on you, Tsubasa.
[04:28] ---
    Yeah.
[04:29] ---
    All right, team.
[04:31] ---
    It's time.
[04:33] ---
    Give it everything you've got,
[04:35] ---
    and go out there and fight
    with no regrets!
[04:38] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:42] ---
    Let's go, guys!
[04:44] ---
    The only way to no regrets is victory.
[04:50] ---
    Tsubasa.
[04:53] ---
    Let's go out there
    and win to be world number one!
[04:55] ---
    Yeah!
[05:04] ---
    When I first saw them
    in that tournament...

[05:07] ---
    I knew this generation
    would change Japanese soccer.

[05:11] ---
    So I did my best to make them stronger.
[05:14] ---
    Especially, Tsubasa Ozora. He didn't go
    to Brazil, but stayed in Japan.

[05:20] ---
    That was probably the best thing that
    could've happened for Japan's soccer.

[05:24] ---
    Tsubasa became the ultimate goal.
[05:27] ---
    His mere presence is inspiring,
    and pushed everyone to polish

[05:29] ---
    their own techniques in an attempt
    to one day take him down.

[05:32] ---
    Three years later, Kojiro Hyuga
    finally caught up with Tsubasa.

[05:37] ---
    While in his rival's eyes,
    Tsubasa improved so much

[05:40] ---
    that he no longer had
    a worthy opponent in Japan.

[05:44] ---
    Tsubasa will be heading
    to Brazil next spring.

[05:48] ---
    These last three years has seen the entire
    team develop, with Tsubasa at the center.

[05:52] ---
    Also three years ago,
[05:54] ---
    Wakabayashi and Misaki moved
    to the homeland of soccer, Europe,

[05:58] ---
    to train in Germany and France.
[06:01] ---
    They've helped make
    this the true Japan Junior Youth.

[06:04] ---
    You've finally made it.
[06:07] ---
    But you can't rest on your laurels now.
[06:10] ---
    I'm counting on you, guys.
[06:12] ---
    Team Japan has scattered
    onto the pitch and is ready to go.

    JAPAN VS. GERMANY
[06:51] ---
    Germany kicks off.
[06:58] ---
    Schneider is fast!
    He dribbles and moves ahead.

[07:02] ---
    -Come at me!
    -We won't lose, Germany.
[07:04] ---
    All right, let's go, Misaki.
[07:06] ---
    Yeah, Tsubasa.
[07:11] ---
    Schneider with a back heel!
[07:13] ---
    He doesn't cut in.
[07:16] ---
    And that pass is going to...
[07:18] ---
    Schester!
[07:19] ---
    As they always do, Team Germany designates
    midfielder Schester as playmaker.

[07:25] ---
    Schester!
[07:26] ---
    And it's nothing but screams
    and shouts for Schester again.

[07:29] ---
    Ever popular with the ladies,
[07:32] ---
    will he and his handsome moves
    make 'em swoon today?

[07:37] ---
    Let's go.
[07:37] ---
    And waiting for him is Captain Tsubasa
    of Team Japan, another playmaker.

[07:44] ---
    Come on, Schester.
[07:46] ---
    Give me a pass in front of the goal.
[07:49] ---
    I don't care if it's Wakabayashi,
    I'm going to score.

[07:53] ---
    I'm getting a pass to you, Schneider.
[07:56] ---
    To do that, first...
[07:57] ---
    a battle at the midfield,
    a showdown with Tsubasa Ozora.

[08:02] ---
    Tsubasa!
[08:04] ---
    I think it's safe to say this match hinges
[08:07] ---
    on the midfield battle
    between our two playmakers.

[08:11] ---
    In this first showdown,
    who'll emerge the victor?!

[08:16] ---
    Tsubasa!
[08:18] ---
    I'll go first! Let's put
    Wakabayashi's research to the test.
[08:23] ---
    Got it.
[08:25] ---
    Misaki holds Tsubasa back
    and he goes up against Schester.

[08:30] ---
    All right, go, Misaki!
[08:33] ---
    It doesn't matter who you are!
    You can't get the ball away from me.

[08:38] ---
    With brilliant footwork,
    Schester gets around Misaki easily.

[08:43] ---
    Schester, number 10.
[08:45] ---
    For 80% of the time
    when he goes around someone,

[08:50] ---
    he goes to their left,
[08:53] ---
    and then for just a moment
    the ball leaves his foot.

[08:59] ---
    It's exactly as Wakabayashi wrote.
[09:01] ---
    Oh! Just when Schester gets around
    Misaki, Tsubasa intercepts the ball.

[09:04] ---
    It's like he knew exactly
    what was going to happen.

[09:09] ---
    What!
[09:09] ---
    Nice, Tsubasa.
[09:11] ---
    Good going, Tsubasa!
[09:13] ---
    It's just as Wakabayashi's report shows.
[09:15] ---
    Schester had the ball
    taken from him so easily?
[09:19] ---
    Tsubasa, Misaki!
[09:22] ---
    This is Wakabayashi's...
[09:25] ---
    They flinched, now's our chance.
[09:27] ---
    Tsubasa takes the ball
    and dribbles forward.

[09:31] ---
    And easily gets by three
    of Germany's players to start.

[09:35] ---
    -What!
    -Oh no!
[09:37] ---
    Whatcha gonna do now, Team Germany?
[09:40] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora
    won't be stopped that easily.
[09:44] ---
    I'll stop him!
[09:45] ---
    Tenacious Kaltz blocks Tsubasa's path.
[09:50] ---
    Can he break through?
[09:55] ---
    Misaki.
[09:56] ---
    He evades Kaltz's tackle
    in the nick of time and passes!

[10:00] ---
    What?
[10:01] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:02] ---
    And it's a quick return by Misaki.
    That is some lightning fast pass play!

[10:07] ---
    Behold Team Japan's pride and joy,
    the Golden Duo,

[10:09] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora and Taro Misaki.
[10:12] ---
    Together they weave
    the best combination plays in the world!

[10:15] ---
    All right, Tsubasa, Misaki!
[10:18] ---
    Go all the way!
[10:20] ---
    We're still here.
[10:22] ---
    The most powerful German
    defensive players stand in the way.

[10:25] ---
    Take that!
[10:26] ---
    Magath, with an all-out tackle
    against the ball holder Tsubasa.

[10:31] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:38] ---
    Hurry, Mom!
[10:40] ---
    Karl's match has already started!
[10:43] ---
    Okay.
[10:46] ---
    Misaki!
[10:47] ---
    Tsubasa evades at the last second
    and passes to the side.

[10:51] ---
    I expected no less from Germany's defense.
    What a sharp tackle.

[10:56] ---
    The ball goes to Misaki.
[10:59] ---
    Take this tackle!
[11:00] ---
    Hardwich on defense.
[11:03] ---
    Here, Tsubasa.
[11:06] ---
    Oh. The slide goes in deep
    and sweeps Misaki's pivot foot.

[11:11] ---
    Misaki!
[11:12] ---
    The referee doesn't blow his whistle,
    and calls advantage.

[11:16] ---
    Japan's chances continue, so he allows
    the match to move forward.

[11:20] ---
    Got it!
[11:21] ---
    Hain goes against Tsubasa now.
[11:25] ---
    Here!
[11:26] ---
    Oh, Tsubasa traps the pass with his chest
    and gets it over his opponent's head.

[11:32] ---
    Nitta!
[11:33] ---
    What?
[11:34] ---
    Nice technique.
[11:36] ---
    Tsubasa's sliding pass
    is for Nitta running towards the goal.

[11:40] ---
    I got it!
[11:42] ---
    Nitta is unmarked
    and goes for a direct shot.

[11:47] ---
    Shoot it, Nitta!
[11:54] ---
    Nitta doesn't shoot,
    and passes to the left.

[11:57] ---
    -Nitta?
    -Huh?
[11:59] ---
    Hyuga, the other forward for Japan,
    takes Nitta's pass,

[12:04] ---
    and goes for the goal!
[12:12] ---
    What?
[12:15] ---
    Tiger Shot!
[12:18] ---
    Take that, Team Germany!
[12:22] ---
    Tiger Shot explodes!
[12:24] ---
    The first shot of the match is from Japan!
[12:27] ---
    -All right, there it goes!
    -Nice shot, Hyuga!!
[12:32] ---
    H-He got it!
[12:36] ---
    The Phantom Keeper,
    German goalie Deuter Muller.

[12:40] ---
    He easily side catches
    Kojiro Hyuga's fierce Tiger Shot.

    BIRTH DATE JULY 4 / HEIGHT 174 CM

[12:53] ---
    H-He got it!
[12:57] ---
    He easily side catches
    Kojiro Hyuga's fierce Tiger Shot.

[13:05] ---
    Nice catch, Muller.
[13:07] ---
    What a play by the Phantom Keeper
    from Germany, Deuter Muller.

[13:12] ---
    That wasn't luck when he stopped
[13:14] ---
    Victorino's unmarked free kick
    in the Uruguay match yesterday.

[13:19] ---
    What reflexes from Muller!
[13:24] ---
    H-He's...
[13:27] ---
    Hyuga.
[13:29] ---
    Not bad, Muller.
[13:31] ---
    The only way we're gonna win
    is to keep on shooting.

[13:36] ---
    They may've been stopped
    by Muller's fine play,

[13:40] ---
    but Japan still had a good offensive run
    from midfield to forward.

[13:44] ---
    So close, so close.
[13:45] ---
    Good offense.
[13:46] ---
    Go, Japan!
[13:48] ---
    The match has only just begun.
    There's a lot to look forward to.

[13:54] ---
    Nitta.
[13:56] ---
    Why didn't you shoot?
[13:59] ---
    You've only ever played forward,
    and you're a striker to the bone.
[14:03] ---
    Is that why...
[14:05] ---
    you felt that?
[14:08] ---
    Hyuga.
[14:11] ---
    And now, Muller with a long throw back
    to Hain in the middle.

[14:17] ---
    Here, Schester.
[14:20] ---
    -All right.
    -Ball goes to Schester.
[14:23] ---
    Schester, you can do it!
[14:26] ---
    I let my guard down for a second,
    but that won't happen again.

[14:30] ---
    All right.
[14:32] ---
    And again Misaki goes up against Schester.
[14:36] ---
    All right, go Misaki!
[14:38] ---
    Misaki, get it this time.
[14:41] ---
    Just like last time, I can get by you
    no problem with this feint.

[14:45] ---
    That was to test Wakabayashi's report.
[14:49] ---
    Now Misaki intercepts.
[14:52] ---
    -What?
    -I won't let you get by this time.
[14:54] ---
    Once again, Japan easily
    gets the ball in midfield.

[14:58] ---
    Yeah, Misaki.
[15:00] ---
    Misaki is so skilled.
[15:02] ---
    Germany is having trouble
    connecting with Schneider,

[15:06] ---
    the sure top scorer for this tournament.
[15:08] ---
    Twice against Schester.
[15:10] ---
    N-No way.
[15:12] ---
    Defend!
[15:14] ---
    Quit fooling around!
[15:16] ---
    You're witnessing Japan's true strength.
[15:18] ---
    We have to take them seriously,
    or it's gonna hurt. First, we defend.
[15:22] ---
    O-Okay.
[15:24] ---
    -Let's go.
    -All right.
[15:25] ---
    Impressive, Captain Schneider.
[15:28] ---
    They were falling apart
    and he rallied them back.

[15:32] ---
    The ball goes from Misaki to Tsubasa.
[15:36] ---
    But this time, the Japan forwards
    are closely marked.

[15:41] ---
    If I can't pass then I'll dribble.
[15:44] ---
    Oh my, Tsubasa has two players on him!
[15:47] ---
    We won't let you dribble through.
[15:50] ---
    What's Tsubasa going to do?
[15:52] ---
    Tsubasa goes into position for his
    specialty long shot, the Drive Shot.

[15:58] ---
    -Go, Tsubasa!
    -Tsubasa!
[16:00] ---
    -Tsubasa!
    -Shoot it!
[16:13] ---
    That goalie.
[16:15] ---
    What's wrong? Tsubasa's not moving!
[16:18] ---
    Tsubasa?
[16:20] ---
    What's wrong, Tsubasa?
[16:23] ---
    Tsubasa is also a striker
    who goes after the goal.

[16:27] ---
    So he gets it.
[16:30] ---
    That goalie doesn't have a weakness.
[16:33] ---
    Right before you take the shot,
    you get this feeling

[16:36] ---
     that he'll stop it,
    no matter where it goes.

[16:40] ---
    I've never in my life
    met a goalie like this before.

[16:45] ---
    What are you fumbling around for?
    Take that!
[16:48] ---
    Kaltz with a blazing sliding tackle
    as Tsubasa hesitated with his shot.

[16:55] ---
    I can't chicken out now!
[16:56] ---
    Even if I can't find an opening,
    I have to take the shot!

[16:59] ---
    If nothing else,
    it's to find Deuter Muller's weakness.

[17:04] ---
    To find a path to victory.
[17:07] ---
    Take that!
[17:09] ---
    Drive Shot!
[17:12] ---
    Tsubasa's deadly Drive Shot!
[17:15] ---
    Will it work against the Steel Giant?
[17:20] ---
    The two goalies who beat Tsubasa's
    Drive Shot, Wakashimazu and Hernandez.

[17:26] ---
    Both of them stood just on the goal line
    so the shot wouldn't go over their heads.

[17:31] ---
    As the Drive Shot descended,
    they stopped it with one hand.

[17:35] ---
    Then, close to the line,
    they put the other hand on the ball

[17:39] ---
    to keep it from sneaking in.
[17:40] ---
    A two-step approach.
[17:43] ---
    How will Muller defend?
[17:48] ---
    Muller retreats to near the goal line!
[17:52] ---
    He's defending like us!
[17:58] ---
    And he jumps from there!
[18:01] ---
    Oh, he's making an arc!
[18:04] ---
    He's moving his colossal arm towards
    the Drive Shot as he would for a throw-in.

[18:16] ---
    And he grabs it one-handed!
[18:20] ---
    Nice, Muller!
[18:21] ---
    Th-This is...
[18:23] ---
    Muller with a shocker.
[18:26] ---
    Instead of a two-step approach
[18:28] ---
    like Wakashimazu or Hernandez,
    he keeps it simple.

[18:31] ---
    With pure power, he stops
    Tsubasa's Drive Shot head on.

[18:37] ---
    M-Muller.
[18:38] ---
    Tsubasa's Drive Shot doesn't work either.
[18:42] ---
    He stopped his Drive Shot
    like it was some ordinary shot.
[18:47] ---
    Deuter Muller. I guess he's the number one
    goalie in Europe, and not me.
[18:55] ---
    That wasn't so bad.
[18:58] ---
    Tsubasa.
[19:00] ---
    All right, who's going to go next?
[19:05] ---
    What?
[19:06] ---
    First he puts a halt to Tsubasa's shot,
[19:10] ---
    then he throws it to the other team
    like it's no big deal.

[19:13] ---
    M-Muller?
[19:15] ---
    Blast it, he's taunting us.
[19:18] ---
    Nitta of Japan runs to the spot.
[19:22] ---
    Take that! Falcon Shot!
[19:26] ---
    If I aim for the corner, he's big enough
    that his reaction should be slow.
[19:32] ---
    It's no good, he's a fast one!
[19:34] ---
    Muller reacts swiftly
    to the left and the right.

[19:37] ---
    N-No way.
[19:39] ---
    Such agility for such muscle!
    Nitta's Falcon Shot doesn't work either.

[19:45] ---
    And again, he casually gives the ball
    to the other team.

[19:50] ---
    This looks like taunting to me.
[19:53] ---
    Why you, you'll pay for this.
[19:55] ---
    Matsuyama?
[19:57] ---
    Oh, Matsuyama on defense overlaps.
[20:01] ---
    Matsuyama!
[20:02] ---
    Tsubasa went upper left,
[20:04] ---
    and Nitta aimed upper right,
    which didn't work.

[20:07] ---
    Then I'll go lower left!
[20:10] ---
    If he's a left-handed goalie,
[20:12] ---
    then the lower left shot
    should be the hardest for him.

[20:15] ---
    Take that! Eagle Shot!
[20:22] ---
    There it is!
[20:23] ---
    Matsuyama's ground-hugging long shot,
    Eagle Shot!

[20:27] ---
    He aims for the left corner of the goal!
[20:29] ---
    All right, go!
[20:33] ---
    Oh, but he catches that too!
[20:35] ---
    That spot should've posed a challenge,
    but it didn't.

[20:39] ---
    Wh-What?
[20:40] ---
    Muller once again throws the ball away.
[20:46] ---
    He's making fun of us.
[20:47] ---
    You jerk!
[20:49] ---
    Soda overlaps this time.
[20:51] ---
    Team Japan is furious at Muller's antics
    and is attacking in waves.

[20:57] ---
    If a straight line won't work
    then how about a curve?

[20:59] ---
    My Razor Shot!
[21:03] ---
    Soda's curve ball shot!
[21:04] ---
    The Razor Shot
    makes a big curve to the right.

[21:08] ---
    This time it's the lower right corner.
[21:11] ---
    And Hyuga is moving
    into that spot as well.

[21:16] ---
    Nice dash, Hyuga.
[21:17] ---
    Our ace striker!
[21:20] ---
    If Muller can't catch this shot
    and punches it,

[21:23] ---
    then Hyuga can easily shoot
    the loose ball.

[21:42] ---
    He...
[21:44] ---
    He's stopped it with just his left arm!
[21:47] ---
    What?
[21:48] ---
    Hyuga, with a powerful lower body
    shoots from close range, and yet,

[21:52] ---
    Muller stops it with just his left hand.
[21:56] ---
    What arm strength!
[21:58] ---
    That's the Steel Giant!
[22:01] ---
    Deuter Muller's true strength.
