    JAPAN VS. GERMANY
[00:03] ---
    Japan versus Germany.
[00:05] ---
    The final match of the first International
    Junior Youth Tournament has begun.

[00:10] ---
    At first, Japan seemed
[00:12] ---
    to have had the upper hand,
    having learned from Wakabayashi

[00:15] ---
    the habits of Team Germany.
[00:18] ---
    A valiant effort to score
    by Team Japan unfolded,

[00:20] ---
    but a score never materialized against
    Deuter Muller, the Phantom Keeper.

[00:25] ---
    And...
[00:27] ---
    Oh, a kicking error by Kaltz.
[00:30] ---
    The ball goes in an unexpected direction.
[00:32] ---
    No, that's not it.
[00:33] ---
    He wants you to think that, and then sends
    an accurate pass to the perfect spot.

[00:37] ---
    That's the Workman Herman Kaltz.
[00:41] ---
    All right.
[00:43] ---
    What?
[00:44] ---
    No, it wasn't a kicking mistake!
[00:46] ---
    The other German forward, Margus,
    is running into position for the pass.

[00:51] ---
    We got this.
[00:52] ---
    Oh no.
[00:54] ---
    Take that!
[00:57] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[00:59] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[01:00] ---
    Wakabayashi!

    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[02:45] ---
    Wakabayashi stopped it!
[02:49] ---
    What?
[02:51] ---
    Another nice save!

    EPISODE 30
    A BLAZING FIRST POINT
[02:58] ---
    Good job, Wakabayashi.
[03:00] ---
    Before the match, I mentioned
    they could have a little shooting leeway
[03:02] ---
    as long as it wasn't Schneider,
    so I guess this one should've been easy.
[03:08] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[03:10] ---
    Genzo Wakabayashi.
[03:12] ---
    Coach never allowed me to join a club
    or participate in any matches.

[03:17] ---
    I really resented you.
[03:20] ---
    Being the same age and always being
    praised as the best goalie in Germany.

[03:25] ---
    But I'll finally clear up
    the confusion this match.

[03:28] ---
    The number one in Germany,
    the number one in the world,

[03:31] ---
    is me and only me, Deuter Muller.
[03:39] ---
    Germany Junior Youth
    goes back into position.

[03:42] ---
    Wakabayashi may have stopped it,
[03:45] ---
    but this is the first time this match that
    they've shown their usual offensive game.

[03:50] ---
    If Germany can lead in the midfield
    like they just did, then they attack well.
[03:54] ---
    It looks like the midfield
    will be key this match after all.
[03:58] ---
    Seems they've figured it out.
[04:01] ---
    They're aware that we know
    all about their habits and weaknesses.
[04:05] ---
    Yeah.
[04:06] ---
    Now we have a real battle on our hands.
[04:09] ---
    Tricks aren't gonna work on them!
[04:11] ---
    Now's the time
    for a true showdown of ability.
[04:13] ---
    Whatever happens,
    never lose that fighting spirit!
[04:16] ---
    Yeah!
[04:17] ---
    All right, Japan versus Germany,
    the fierce battle continues.

[04:21] ---
    Wakabayashi kicks it deep.
[04:26] ---
    But Germany,
    back to their usual game, intercepts.

[04:33] ---
    The battle in the midfield is intense.
[04:37] ---
    Go, go, Japan!
[04:39] ---
    Keep going!
[04:40] ---
    Show us your German spirit!
[04:42] ---
    Go!
[04:45] ---
    Fifteen minutes into the first half.
[04:47] ---
    Which team will control the game
    and score the first point?

[04:52] ---
    I've got goosebumps.
[04:53] ---
    This is going to be the most intense
    high-level match I've ever played in.

[05:00] ---
    They get the ball to Schester.
[05:03] ---
    Go! Great, Schester!
[05:06] ---
    Let's go, Kaltz!
[05:07] ---
    Yeah.
[05:08] ---
    Let's go, Misaki.
[05:10] ---
    Yeah, Tsubasa.
[05:12] ---
    The amazing technician, Schester and
    the Workman, Kaltz, are on the attack.

[05:17] ---
    Facing them are Tsubasa and Misaki,
    Japan's Golden Duo.

[05:22] ---
    Give me a pass in front of the goal.
[05:23] ---
    I'll get it this time.
[05:25] ---
    For my dad and everyone to see, I'll...
[05:28] ---
    Germany will get the first point!
[05:31] ---
    Give me a pass, Tsubasa.
[05:32] ---
    I'm gonna invade that goalie's space
    and unleash

[05:35] ---
    my Neo Tiger Shot at point-blank range.
[05:40] ---
    -Here.
    -Oh?
[05:41] ---
    Misaki's tackle is successful.
[05:44] ---
    Tsubasa picks up the loose ball.
[05:46] ---
    Nice, Misaki.
[05:48] ---
    You're not getting through.
[05:56] ---
    He gets by!
[05:57] ---
    Tsubasa with a power move
    in the midfield gets by Schester.

[06:01] ---
    All right, I got by him.
[06:03] ---
    -Way to go, Tsubasa.
    -Go!
[06:11] ---
    Oh, it's an illegal tackle.
[06:14] ---
    Germany's tackle went straight at his leg.
[06:18] ---
    Tsubasa!
[06:19] ---
    Are you all right?
[06:20] ---
    Can you stand?
[06:22] ---
    Is Tsubasa all right?
[06:25] ---
    I'm okay. I'm used to it.
[06:27] ---
    They can try to widdle us down
    all they want, we won't lose!
[06:33] ---
    -Tsubasa!
    -Tsubasa.
[06:35] ---
    Tsubasa appears to be okay.
[06:38] ---
    Thank goodness.
[06:40] ---
    If Tsubasa had to leave injured,
    that'd be the match right there.
[06:44] ---
    Tsubasa.
[06:45] ---
    I've watched him get fouled before.
[06:50] ---
    I used to worry, but with every foul,
    Tsubasa only gets stronger.

[06:56] ---
    I know it.
[06:59] ---
    Germany's foul just gave Japan
    a free kick from this position.

[07:04] ---
    It's a little far, but still within range
    for a direct shot.

[07:08] ---
    It's the first set piece of the match.
[07:11] ---
    What will Team Japan do?
[07:13] ---
    Not surprisingly, Germany
    is building their wall.

[07:15] ---
    Move, you're in the way.
[07:18] ---
    Muller.
[07:19] ---
    It'll only obscure my view of the shot.
    I don't need a wall.
[07:22] ---
    He's doing that thing he did with us.
[07:26] ---
    Muller waves the wall away
    just like he did in the Uruguay match.

[07:32] ---
    He has total confidence, that goalie.
[07:37] ---
    Usually that'd be unthinkable.
[07:47] ---
    -Shoot.
    -He's playing us for fools.
[07:49] ---
    Even from this position,
    there isn't a blind spot.

[07:53] ---
    What should I do?
[07:54] ---
    Aim, Tsubasa. They did you a favor
    and got rid of the wall.
[07:59] ---
    Aim at the keeper, then give it
    all you got. That's all you can do.
[08:03] ---
    Hyuga.
[08:05] ---
    Yeah, you're right.
[08:08] ---
    That's right, Hyuga!
[08:10] ---
    Oh, Tsubasa and Hyuga seem to be
    whispering about something.
[08:15] ---
    All right, got it, Tsubasa.
[08:18] ---
    Yeah.
[08:19] ---
    It's pointless.
[08:21] ---
    And now the free kick.
    Will Tsubasa or Hyuga shoot?

[08:25] ---
    Or will they fake a shot
    and make it a pass?

[08:29] ---
    Come at me!
[08:32] ---
    -Here we go.
    -Yeah!
[08:34] ---
    And they've both started running.
[08:37] ---
    What?
[08:39] ---
    Will it be a Drive Shot or a Tiger Shot?
[08:41] ---
    It's anyone's guess here.
[08:44] ---
    We're counting on you, Tsubasa, Hyuga.
[08:46] ---
    Muller!
[08:47] ---
    That trick won't work on me.
[08:51] ---
    Whatever the shot, I'll stop it.
[08:53] ---
    They're rivals in Japan.
[08:55] ---
    But now Tsubasa and Hyuga
    are making combination plays.

[08:58] ---
    Tsubasa is out front.
[09:00] ---
    But it's still anyone's guess
    who'll take the shot!

[09:03] ---
    Will it be Tsubasa or Hyuga?
[09:06] ---
    All right.
[09:06] ---
    What?
[09:09] ---
    Tsubasa drops his stance
    while running and slides.

[09:13] ---
    He kicks the ball forward!
[09:15] ---
    It's all yours, Hyuga.
[09:17] ---
    Team Japan is getting as close
    as they can before they shoot.

[09:23] ---
    -No.
    -So that's how you're going to play it.
[09:25] ---
    And there you have it, Japan's
    ace striker, Kojiro Hyuga, is the shooter.

[09:30] ---
    Tsubasa kicked it out for me
    but it's still far.

[09:33] ---
    To get a goal from this goalie,
    where should I aim?

[09:37] ---
    Crap, here comes the marks.
[09:40] ---
    I'm just going to have to rely
    on my instincts.

[09:42] ---
    My instincts as a striker.
[09:45] ---
    Here!
[09:46] ---
    Hyuga, concentrates all his might.
[09:50] ---
    Neo Tiger Shot!
[10:00] ---
    Oh, it's right in front of the goalie.
[10:08] ---
    Muller!
[10:12] ---
    He stopped it!
[10:15] ---
    The unexpected straight-on ball
    may've stunned Muller for a second.

[10:20] ---
    But he still managed to drop to his knees
    and make a solid catch.

[10:24] ---
    Hyuga's Neo Tiger Shot at its max
    is equal to Schneider's Fire Shot,

[10:30] ---
    but unfortunately it didn't find the goal.
[10:32] ---
    But what power
    to be able to push Muller that far.

[10:37] ---
    His shot is definitely faster
    than when we played in Hamburg.

[10:43] ---
    Team Japan now is totally different
    from when we played them back then.

[10:49] ---
    No way.
[10:51] ---
    Tsubasa.
[10:53] ---
    We might be able to go between his legs.
[10:55] ---
    Huh?

[11:13] ---
    Coach, I got 'em. One thousand rocks.
[11:18] ---
    All right.
[11:19] ---
    I stopped all the pros' shots.
[11:21] ---
    They even recruited me,
    but why won't he let me sign with them?

[11:25] ---
    And today, he has me collecting rocks?
[11:28] ---
    All right, get in front of the goal.
[11:30] ---
    Until you've stopped
    all thousand of them, training isn't over.
[11:35] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[11:36] ---
    256! 257!
[11:39] ---
    Repel harder.
[11:42] ---
    Otherwise, it'll hurt you when you jump in.
[11:46] ---
    258! 259!
[11:49] ---
    Go! Go! Go!
[12:01] ---
    Go!
[12:04] ---
    322, 323...
[12:08] ---
    874, 875, 876...
[12:12] ---
    Now the last one!
[12:15] ---
    Here!
[12:23] ---
    Got by again.
[12:25] ---
    Start over. Go pick 'em all up.
[12:29] ---
    Yes, sir.
[12:38] ---
    And...
[12:39] ---
    Six months later...
[12:52] ---
    Muller overcame his only weakness.
[12:59] ---
    You did well.
[13:01] ---
    The final phase of your training
    begins now.
[13:04] ---
    Yes, sir.
[13:06] ---
    The Steel Giant, Muller,
    has no blind spot now.

[13:13] ---
    Could they have noticed his weakness?
[13:16] ---
    No, that's not possible.
[13:19] ---
    Besides, it's no longer a problem
    for Muller anyway.

[13:26] ---
    All right! Let's go!
[13:28] ---
    Germany avoided disaster
    and is now on the offensive.

[13:32] ---
    Germany Junior Youth is itching to connect
    to Schneider in front of the goal.

[13:37] ---
    Here!
[13:39] ---
    All right.
[13:41] ---
    But Jito, with a good read, intercepts.
[13:45] ---
    When it comes to kicking power,
    I won't lose.
[13:47] ---
    And just like that, he cleared it wide.
[13:50] ---
    Ball goes directly to Tsubasa.
[13:53] ---
    Nice pass, Jito.
[13:54] ---
    Tsubasa immediately starts dribbling.
[14:02] ---
    He gets by!
[14:04] ---
    All right, I'm going to test it out.
[14:06] ---
    I'm betting on Hyuga's instinct.
[14:10] ---
    And he's ready to shoot.
[14:13] ---
    Tsubasa, the Drive Shot
    doesn't work against him.

[14:18] ---
    Go!
[14:22] ---
    A long shot from Tsubasa!
[14:25] ---
    It's not his specialty Drive Shot!
[14:27] ---
    It's a Crawling Long Shot!
[14:29] ---
    It's my shot!
[14:30] ---
    But this is also
    right in front of the goalie.

[14:35] ---
    It bounced off goalie Muller!
[14:38] ---
    He missed catching it.
[14:41] ---
    Here's our chance. It's like Hyuga said.
[14:43] ---
    Tsubasa goes to shoot the ball
    that was bounced!

[14:48] ---
    Why are you panicking?
[14:49] ---
    You have no weaknesses now!
[14:51] ---
    That's just your subconscious acting up.
[14:55] ---
    Yes, sir.
[14:57] ---
    Muller comes running out!
[14:59] ---
    It seems that Muller
    will get to the ball first.

[15:03] ---
    Come, Muller!
[15:04] ---
    Here it comes, Schneider.
[15:08] ---
    Muller!
[15:10] ---
    Kicks the ball directly!
[15:13] ---
    Tsubasa comes rushing in, and...
[15:16] ---
    the ball hits him right in the face!
[15:22] ---
    No one saw this coming.
[15:26] ---
    Tsubasa!
[15:27] ---
    Tsubasa!
[15:29] ---
    Tsubasa!
[15:30] ---
    Tsubasa is on the ground.
[15:32] ---
    Now, let's go.
[15:33] ---
    Yeah.
[15:34] ---
    As Japan reels from the accident,
    Germany attacks on.

[15:39] ---
    Tsubasa can't get up.
[15:41] ---
    He took Muller's shot at close range
    directly in the face.

[15:45] ---
    The damage is sure to be considerable.
[15:48] ---
    Tsubasa.
[15:49] ---
    Stop, Ref! You have to stop the match.
[15:53] ---
    Now's our chance to score.
[15:55] ---
    No one thought Japan was in the running
    before the tournament.

[15:59] ---
    The number one reason
    they've been able to win is Tsubasa.

[16:03] ---
    Tsubasa and the tight teamwork
    they have because of him.

[16:07] ---
    All-in soccer, or J Boys Soccer,
    as they call it.

[16:10] ---
    With Tsubasa injured,
[16:15] ---
    their team cohesion is in jeopardy.
[16:19] ---
    Now is Germany's greatest chance.
[16:22] ---
    Pull yourselves together, guys.
[16:25] ---
    Tsubasa blocked the pass
    from Muller to Schneider.
[16:29] ---
    He put himself on the line and blocked it!
[16:32] ---
    We have to all pull together and defend
    now to meet Tsubasa's fighting spirit.
[16:37] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[16:38] ---
    -We'll defend to the end.
    -Y-Yeah.
[16:41] ---
    Impressive, Wakabayashi.
[16:42] ---
    But I'm still taking the point.
[16:45] ---
    Kaltz!
[16:46] ---
    Germany's Golden Duo
    Schester and Kaltz is in midfield.

[16:51] ---
    Team Japan has pulled it back together,
    thanks to Wakabayashi.

[16:55] ---
    But...
[16:59] ---
    Woo-hoo!
[17:00] ---
    Without Tsubasa,
    the midfield belongs to Germany!
[17:04] ---
    The ball is with Schester once again.
[17:06] ---
    Ace striker Schneider uses that time
    to run in front of Japan's goal.

[17:11] ---
    Go mark him!
[17:12] ---
    I'll intercept.
[17:14] ---
    Schester.
[17:16] ---
    Okay, Schneider.
[17:19] ---
    Schester sends a pass
    to Schneider in front of the goal.

[17:23] ---
    Take that!
[17:24] ---
    But Misaki is there to tackle!
[17:28] ---
    Schester caught on
    and avoids it by jumping!

[17:38] ---
    Beautiful! Schester!
[17:39] ---
    Oh, but this isn't a pass to Schneider!
[17:43] ---
    It's a high pass aimed at Margus.
[17:45] ---
    That wasn't it?
[17:47] ---
    Oh, but Schneider turns around
    and runs to where it's coming down.

[17:51] ---
    What?
[17:52] ---
    Margus goes to shoot with a header.
[17:55] ---
    Jito jumps to prevent it.
[18:01] ---
    The two are evenly matched!
[18:06] ---
    Schneider has run to that position
[18:07] ---
    almost as if he knew the two
    powerful players would battle it out.

[18:12] ---
    All right.
[18:13] ---
    And he jumps on the loose ball.
[18:15] ---
    Schneider without a mark
    lets loose an overhead kick!

[18:19] ---
    Dad, Mom, Marie, I hope you're watching.
[18:23] ---
    Germany is about to win.
[18:25] ---
    And I'll be the best player in the world.
[18:30] ---
    Karl!
[18:31] ---
    Karl!
[18:33] ---
    He'll get it.
    Schneider will definitely do it.
[18:37] ---
    The new emperor of Germany, Schneider.
[18:39] ---
    Schneider is going to build
    the golden era of soccer for Germany.
[18:44] ---
    Schneider will score.
[18:47] ---
    He said this time would be it.
[18:50] ---
    I will stop it!
    The Overhead Kick is Tsubasa's specialty.

[18:54] ---
    No way is he scoring
    using Tsubasa's specialty.

[18:57] ---
    Tsubasa and I came to Germany
    to make Japan number one in the world.

[19:04] ---
    I'm stopping it, Schneider!
[19:07] ---
    Oh, Schneider doesn't shoot!
[19:10] ---
    What?
[19:11] ---
    Schneider is just landing.
[19:13] ---
    What's he after?
[19:17] ---
    That's what Schneider was aiming for.
[19:24] ---
    Shoot, I can't see.
[19:26] ---
    I got it, Wakabayashi.
[19:28] ---
    Schneider lands, turns around,
[19:32] ---
    and shoots!
[19:34] ---
    Fire!
[19:39] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[19:41] ---
    Crap.
[19:42] ---
    Wakabayashi is a second late in reacting.
[19:52] ---
    Goal!
[19:54] ---
    It's in!
[19:56] ---
    The first International Junior Youth
    tournament in France, the final match...

[19:59] ---
    Twenty-one minutes into the first half,
[20:02] ---
    the first point
    goes to Germany Junior Youth.

[20:04] ---
    We did it! It's a goal! Schneider did it!
[20:08] ---
    Germany scored the first point!
[20:14] ---
    That Fire Shot was searing!
[20:17] ---
    Schneider has scored in every match
    this tournament. An impressive feat.

[20:23] ---
    Nice shot!
[20:24] ---
    He did it, Schneider.
[20:27] ---
    Super Great Goal Keeper Wakabayashi
    couldn't stop this one.

[20:34] ---
    Damn.
[20:35] ---
    They finally got the first point.
[20:38] ---
    We were doing so well...
[20:41] ---
    Jito and Margus blinded him,
    and it delayed him for a second.

[20:46] ---
    I can't believe
    he had worked that out, too.

[20:50] ---
    We won. One point is plenty.
[20:53] ---
    We've won!
[20:56] ---
    Schneider! Schneider!
[21:00] ---
    Schneider! Schneider!
[21:03] ---
    Schneider raises his right hand
    to the heavens and makes a fist!

[21:07] ---
    It's as if he's confirmed victory
    with that goal!

[21:12] ---
    The champion of the World Junior Youth
[21:15] ---

[21:20] ---
    Did you see it, Dad, Mom, and Marie?
[21:24] ---
    Germany and I have snatched the win
    and the top spot in the world.

[21:31] ---
    Karl.
[21:32] ---
    Karl.
[21:35] ---
    The match starts here!
[21:40] ---
    -What?
    -Tsubasa!
[21:41] ---
    Are you okay, Tsubasa?
[21:44] ---
    I'm fine, I'm fine.
    The ball is always my friend.
[21:48] ---
    That one point is behind us!
[21:51] ---
    First, we tie and then,
    we go after the lead, guys!
[21:56] ---
    Tsubasa.
