[00:04] ---
    Shoot, I can't see.
[00:06] ---
    I got it, Wakabayashi.
[00:08] ---
    Schneider lands, turns around,
[00:11] ---
    and shoots!
[00:14] ---
    Fire!
[00:19] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[00:21] ---
    Crap.
[00:22] ---
    Wakabayashi is a second late in reacting.
[00:32] ---
    Goal!
[00:34] ---
    It's in!
[00:36] ---
    The first International Junior Youth
    tournament in France, the final match...

[00:39] ---
    Twenty-one minutes into the first half,
[00:42] ---
    the first point
    goes to Germany Junior Youth.

[00:44] ---
    We did it! It's a goal! Schneider did it!
[00:48] ---
    Germany scored the first point!
[00:54] ---
    That Fire Shot was searing!
[00:57] ---
    Schneider has scored in every match
    this tournament. An impressive feat.

[01:03] ---
    Nice shot!
[01:04] ---
    He did it, Schneider.
[01:07] ---
    Super Great Goal Keeper Wakabayashi
    couldn't stop this one.

[01:13] ---
    Damn.
[01:15] ---
    They finally got the first point.
[01:18] ---
    We were doing so well...
[01:21] ---
    Jito and Margus blinded him,
    and it delayed him for a second.

[01:26] ---
    I can't believe
    he had worked that out, too.

[01:30] ---
    We won. One point is plenty.
[01:33] ---
    We've won!
[01:36] ---
    Schneider! Schneider!
[01:40] ---
    Schneider! Schneider!
[01:43] ---
    Schneider raises his right hand
    to the heavens and makes a fist!

[01:47] ---
    It's as if he's confirmed victory
    with that goal!

[01:51] ---
    The champion of the World Junior Youth
[01:55] ---
    is going to be Karl Heinz Schneider.
[02:00] ---
    Did you see it, Dad, Mom, and Marie?
[02:04] ---
    Germany and I have snatched the win
    and the top spot in the world.

[02:10] ---
    Karl.
[02:12] ---
    Karl.
[02:16] ---
    The match starts here!
[02:20] ---
    -What?
    -Tsubasa!
[02:21] ---
    Are you okay, Tsubasa?
[02:24] ---
    I'm fine, I'm fine.
    The ball is always my friend.
[02:28] ---
    That one point is behind us!
[02:31] ---
    First, we tie and then,
    we go after the lead, guys!

    THE MOST POWERFUL SHOT IN HISTORY
[04:16] ---
    It was in Wakabayashi's report.
[04:20] ---
    Schneider harmonizing with Margus's header
[04:22] ---
    by shooting the loose ball
    is an old trick for Germany.
[04:29] ---
    Yeah.
[04:30] ---
    And yet they still got us.
[04:33] ---
    All right.
[04:35] ---
    Then we counter with a frontal attack!
[04:38] ---
    Yeah, let's do it.
[04:41] ---
    Our frontal attack is our team work.
[04:43] ---
    Yeah.
[04:47] ---
    You never cease to amaze me, Tsubasa.
[04:49] ---
    You rekindle the team's fighting spirit
    even after a painful first point.

[04:57] ---
    It's just one point! They can get it back!
[05:00] ---
    Tsubasa rallied them.
[05:04] ---
    Yeah.
[05:09] ---
    Come on, let's go guys.
[05:19] ---
    Tsubasa, hey. You sure you're all right?
[05:25] ---
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[05:28] ---
    Tough son of a...
[05:30] ---
    And we're back.
[05:33] ---
    The favorite to win, Germany Junior Youth.
[05:38] ---
    Will this first point bring them
    one step closer to the crown?

[05:42] ---
    Hang in there, Japan.
[05:44] ---
    There's still plenty of time left.
[05:49] ---
    Let's go, Misaki.
[05:51] ---
    Yeah.
[05:53] ---
    Kick off! Japan goes with
    their Golden Duo, Tsubasa and Misaki.

[06:01] ---
    So they're going for
    a frontal attack, too.
[06:03] ---
    I don't care how golden you guys are,
[06:05] ---
    you keep up the same old tricks,
    and you're gonna get beaten.
[06:10] ---
    Tsubasa has Kaltz, Misaki has Schester
    marking them one-on-one.

[06:16] ---
    Tsubasa!
[06:17] ---
    Misaki!
[06:20] ---
    Germany has certainly studied
    Japan's offense.

[06:38] ---
    Oh, and there's Hyuga!
[06:40] ---
    He intercepts the pass
    from Tsubasa to Misaki.

[06:44] ---
    Okay.
[06:45] ---
    What?
[06:46] ---
    Blast it!
[06:48] ---
    Hyuga breaks through the middle!
[06:50] ---
    This is a major strategic win for Japan.
[06:55] ---
    From his signature Straight-Line Dribble
    to a super-charged shot!

[06:59] ---
    Take that!
[07:04] ---
    Another one right between the legs!
[07:09] ---
    Neo Tiger Shot!
[07:14] ---
    Stop it!
[07:16] ---
    Yeah.
[07:24] ---
    The Neo Tiger Shot! What power!
[07:29] ---
    All right!
[07:31] ---
    Nitta goes to pick up the loose ball!
[07:34] ---
    He's in front of the goalie
    and he's unmarked!

[07:37] ---
    Nitta's run into a good position.
[07:40] ---
    Shoot it! Nitta!
[07:44] ---
    It's mine!
[07:45] ---
    Nitta, between his legs!
[07:49] ---
    Got it!
[07:50] ---
    Falcon...
[07:52] ---
    Shot!
[07:59] ---
    Go!
[08:01] ---
    Muller!
[08:05] ---
    It's gone through!
[08:09] ---
    No, it didn't!
[08:12] ---
    What?
[08:16] ---
    Goalie Muller grabs it
    from behind like it's nothing.

[08:20] ---
    He let it go through his legs
    for dramatic effect.

[08:25] ---
    This is what you wanted. Right, Coach?
[08:30] ---
    Exactly, you no longer have
    any weak points.

[08:37] ---
    It's useless,
    that goalie's got no weakness.

[08:46] ---
    Was striker instincts just an illusion?
[08:51] ---
    I'm not giving up!
[08:53] ---
    Tsubasa!
[08:54] ---
    That goalie may seem to have
    no Achilles' heel!
[08:58] ---
    But no goalie in the world
    is completely invincible!
[09:03] ---
    Tsubasa quickly intercepts the ball
    from Mayer.

[09:07] ---
    Huh!
[09:08] ---
    Nice, Tsubasa.
[09:10] ---
    All right, go!
[09:13] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora thrives
    in the face of adversity.

[09:17] ---
    Way to go, Tsubasa.
[09:19] ---
    The more you corner him,
    the stronger he'll come back.

[09:24] ---
    That's Tsubasa Ozora.
[09:26] ---
    Our pillar, Captain Tsubasa.
[09:30] ---
    Shoot, tighten defense.
[09:37] ---
    Just look at that speed!
[09:39] ---
    Tsubasa blows by Germany's defense
    one after the other.

[09:45] ---
    Let's go, Hyuga.
[09:47] ---
    Tsubasa!
[09:48] ---
    So you had the same thought
    I did back there.

[09:52] ---
    Back when we were running neck and neck
    during the freekick,

[09:56] ---
    you thought turning it into a teamed-up
    kick could make things interesting,

[09:59] ---
    didn't you?
[10:07] ---
    Those two...
[10:13] ---
    I don't believe it!
[10:15] ---
    I don't believe it.
[10:17] ---
    Tsubasa and Hyuga, their minds have to be
    totally in sync to make that shot.

[10:22] ---
    Two rivals now working together.
[10:26] ---
    Suppose they've become
    each other's sidekick now.

[10:31] ---
    Can they do it?
[10:32] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:33] ---
    Kojiro!
[10:34] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:36] ---
    Hyuga!
[10:37] ---
    Go for it!
[10:38] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:39] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:40] ---
    Tsubasa!
[10:42] ---
    Hyuga!
[10:43] ---
    Nail it!
[10:48] ---
    Drive Shot!
[10:50] ---
    Tiger Shot!
[10:53] ---
    Amazing!
    Tsubasa and Hyuga kick simultaneously!

[10:57] ---
    The Drive Shot
    and Tiger Shot are merging!

[11:00] ---
    It's a Drive Tiger Twin Shot!
[11:04] ---
    It could have been Tiger Shot
    to Drive Shot or vice versa,

[11:09] ---
    but they've kicked completely in sync!
[11:12] ---
    Go!
[11:14] ---
    We tied it!
[11:16] ---
    Japan's secret weapon!
[11:18] ---
    The greatest shot of the century explodes!
[11:22] ---
    The Drive Shot and Tiger Shot's
    sharp rotation violently shakes the ball.

[11:29] ---
    More than our Twin Shot...
[11:31] ---
    More than Tsubasa
    and Misaki's Twin Shot...
[11:34] ---
    That shake is ridiculous!
[11:36] ---
    And its speed!
[11:37] ---
    This is it. It's going in!
[11:41] ---
    Muller!
[11:42] ---
    You can get it, Muller.
[11:46] ---
    Coach.

    Now for your final training.
[12:25] ---
    Yes, sir.
[12:32] ---
    It couldn't be simpler.
    I'll drop three soccer balls.
[12:37] ---
    All you have to do is catch them.
[12:41] ---
    But I'll drop other things as well.
[12:45] ---
    Huh?
[13:06] ---
    Coach!
[13:07] ---
    Don't give in to fear, Muller!
[13:10] ---
    With calm judgement and animal reflexes,
    you can get them!
[13:15] ---
    Y-Yes, sir.
[13:26] ---
    One!
[13:37] ---
    Here it comes!
[13:50] ---
    Two!
[14:02] ---
    Third one.
[14:18] ---
    Here!
[14:29] ---
    H-He got it! Muller stops this shot!
[14:35] ---
    Wh-What?
[14:37] ---
    No way.
[14:45] ---
    Three!
[14:52] ---
    That's it. Nice, Muller.
[14:55] ---
    No one, absolutely no one,
    can score off you.

[15:00] ---
    German goalie, Deuter Muller,
[15:03] ---
    catches Tsubasa and Hyuga's
    Drive Tiger Twin Shot!

[15:09] ---
    Way to go, Muller.
[15:12] ---
    Nice catch.
[15:13] ---
    No way.
    Tsubasa and Hyuga's Twin Shot, too?
[15:21] ---
    How did he get that?
[15:31] ---
    No.
[15:34] ---
    Hyuga, that injury you got
    against France...
[15:39] ---
    I'm fine, Tsubasa.
[15:43] ---
    I'm not giving up yet.
[15:47] ---
    On my reputation as Japan's ace striker,
    I will score off him.
[15:54] ---
    Yeah.
[15:56] ---
    That's right. Quitting isn't in
    Japan Junior Youth's vocabulary.
[16:07] ---
    Here!
[16:08] ---
    Muller's long kick!
[16:15] ---
    It's gone to Schneider.
[16:18] ---
    After him.
[16:20] ---
    Schneider positioned himself
    somewhat down field.

[16:23] ---
    He dribbles and cuts in.
[16:26] ---
    Japan defense could be
[16:28] ---
    in jeopardy if they can't shake the shock
    from Tsubasa and Hyuga's failed Twin Shot.

[16:35] ---
    You're not getting through.
[16:37] ---
    You're not getting a second point.
[16:40] ---
    Guys, it's defense till the end.
[16:42] ---
    Yo!
[16:44] ---
    Japan's defenders seem to be A-OK.
[16:50] ---
    With a sturdy defense,
    they go after Schneider's ball.

[17:01] ---
    Even if they're passed, they get up
    quickly, and come around to defend!

[17:06] ---
    What fighting spirit!
[17:08] ---
    Guys!
[17:10] ---
    I won't let him through.
[17:12] ---
    We have to intercept and get the ball
    back to Tsubasa and the guys.

[17:17] ---
    Tsubasa needs to... We need to...
[17:20] ---
    We're not giving up the win.
[17:23] ---
    Even Schneider can't set himself up
    to take a shot.

[17:28] ---
    So this is the Japanese spirit.
[17:30] ---
    Schneider, over here.
[17:34] ---
    Schneider gives up on breaking through
    against Japan's determined defense

[17:39] ---
    and passes to the side.
[17:42] ---
    Oh no.
[17:43] ---
    It's Schester. That's a good pass,
    as Schester is unmarked.

[17:48] ---
    All right!
[17:49] ---
    Got it!
[17:51] ---
    Please, Wakabayashi.
[17:52] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[17:54] ---
    All right.
[17:55] ---
    Wakabayashi, reacts quickly to the shot.
[17:59] ---
    Go!
[18:00] ---
    Oh, Wakabayashi doesn't go to catch it,
    but kicks it back directly.

[18:07] ---
    What?
[18:08] ---
    Wakabayashi!
[18:09] ---
    Good going!
[18:10] ---
    Now the ball goes back to Germany's goal!
[18:15] ---
    Suddenly the tables have turned.
[18:18] ---
    Hyuga, I'm counting on you.
[18:20] ---
    All right.
[18:21] ---
    Hyuga!
[18:23] ---
    Takeshi!
[18:25] ---
    Tsubasa runs in front of the goal!
[18:27] ---
    Sawada moves in to take his place.
[18:31] ---
    You know what to do, Takeshi.
[18:33] ---
    Yeah.
[18:35] ---
    Oh, the ball comes from behind,
[18:39] ---
    and now it's Hyuga and Sawada
    kicking it in sync.

[18:44] ---
    Go!
[18:46] ---
    It's a combined Overhead Kick and Jumping
    Volley Shot by the Toho Golden Duo.

[18:52] ---
    I showed you this shot won't
    work against me.

[18:55] ---
    Weren't you paying attention?
[18:57] ---
    The ball is trembling!
[19:00] ---
    Besides, the ball was moving
    more that last shot.

[19:04] ---
    This'll be a piece of cake.
[19:09] ---
    It's curving!
[19:11] ---
    What?
[19:12] ---
    This isn't a shot!
[19:14] ---
    The ball is shaking and veering
    to the right! It's a pass!

[19:19] ---
    Hyuga's kick has a different
    kind of power from mine.

[19:23] ---
    Naturally the ball will curve right.
[19:27] ---
    Please, Misaki.
[19:30] ---
    All right!
[19:31] ---
    Misaki jumps in!
[19:33] ---
    This was a pass intended for Misaki who
    was running towards the goal all along.

[19:37] ---
    Muller!
[19:40] ---
    Misaki, his specialty Diving Header,
    is off the handle!

[19:45] ---
    But Muller catches it!
[19:48] ---
    Despite attack after attack,
[19:50] ---
    Japan is unable to breach the stronghold
    that is the Steel Giant, Muller.

[19:54] ---
    Misaki, hang in there.
[19:57] ---
    I'll go!
[20:01] ---
    Go Misaki!
[20:04] ---
    Tsubasa comes up behind Misaki's
    blocked Diving Header

[20:08] ---
    to give added support with both legs!
[20:13] ---
    What?
[20:28] ---
    It's in! Goal!
[20:31] ---
    They've finally broken through
    Muller's stronghold.

[20:35] ---
    The ball and Misaki
    flies into Germany's goal.

[20:38] ---
    It's tied!
[20:41] ---
    Twenty-five minutes
    into the first half, Japan ties it 1-1.

[20:46] ---
    Hooray!
[20:48] ---
    Wow. Tsubasa and Misaki.
[20:58] ---
    You did it, Tsubasa!
[21:00] ---
    Misaki!
[21:02] ---
    Yeah! We did it!
[21:06] ---
    We caught up!
[21:10] ---
    We finally got a goal off Muller.
[21:15] ---
    Tsubasa... You really are...
[21:20] ---
    Misaki.
[21:21] ---
    Tsubasa.
[21:23] ---
    So impressive by Nankatsu's...
[21:26] ---
    I mean Japan's Golden Duo,
    Tsubasa and Misaki!

[21:32] ---
    We did it!
[21:33] ---
    Only you, Tsubasa! Nice follow up!
[21:36] ---
    Hyuga and Takeshi, nice pass, you guys.
[21:40] ---
    Misaki, nice header.
[21:42] ---
    Assisting was that pass
    from the Toho Golden Duo,

[21:46] ---
    then the hard work by the defense
    who put a stop to Schneider,

[21:51] ---
    and not forgetting Wakabayashi, who,
[21:54] ---
    with his kicking prowess,
    turned crisis into opportunity.

[21:56] ---
    A victory of teamwork for Japan!
[22:00] ---
    A tie all thanks to a team
    working as a cohesive unit.
