[00:11] ---
    Taro.
[00:12] ---
    Morning, Dad.
[00:14] ---
    Breakfast is just about ready.
[00:17] ---
    I've decided to go back to Japan.
[00:22] ---
    Japan!
[00:24] ---
    September, Paris.
[00:26] ---
    Nearly a month has passed since the first
[00:30] ---
    International Junior Youth Tournament
    in France.

[00:33] ---
    You said it yourself
[00:35] ---
    when you were trying to decide if
    you should play for Japan Junior Youth.
[00:40] ---
    Better to regret action
    than to regret inaction, remember?
[00:45] ---
    Yeah.
[00:46] ---
    The way you fought so hard inspired me.
[00:50] ---
    I'm going to give painting Mt. Fuji
    another shot.
[00:55] ---
    I'll be rooting for you, Dad.
[00:57] ---
    I may still not be able to paint Mt. Fuji
    to a level I'm satisfied with.
[01:04] ---
    But better to try and fail, right?
[01:12] ---
    Yup!
[01:25] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[02:44] ---
    EPISODE 38
    TO A NEW ERA!
[02:44] ---
    It's the final of the Fall Rookie
    Tournament here in Shizuoka.

[02:48] ---
    FALL ROOKIE TOURNAMENT - FINAL
    NANKATSU MS VS OTOMO MS
[02:48] ---
    In the second half, we've got
    Nankatsu MS vs Otomo MS, 0-0.

[02:53] ---
    According to my clock,
    we're already thirty minutes in,

[02:56] ---
    and now only additional time remaining.
[02:59] ---
    Will we go into overtime?
[03:07] ---
    Oh, and emerging from the melee
    is Otomo MS captain, Nitta.

[03:12] ---
    All right, go, Nitta!
[03:15] ---
    Defense, guys.
[03:20] ---
    Falcon Shot!
[03:27] ---
    Goal! Finally, it's Otomo MS
    with the first point!

[03:34] ---
    And that, folks, is the end of the game.
[03:37] ---
    We did it, we won!
[03:39] ---
    We took down Nankatsu!
[03:41] ---
    All right!
[03:43] ---
    Otomo MS wins 1-0!
[03:47] ---
    They prevented Nankatsu MS's four-peat.
[03:50] ---
    Nitta did it!
[03:55] ---
    And with that, Nankatsu's official
    three-year winning streak

[04:00] ---
    comes to an end.
[04:05] ---
    We couldn't pull through.
[04:07] ---
    I guess things just won't ever be
    the same without you guys.
[04:13] ---
    Hyuga!
[04:15] ---
    Whoever it'll be, Otomo MS
    or Nankatsu MS, it doesn't matter,
[04:19] ---
    Toho Academy MS will make it
    a two-in-a-row
[04:24] ---
    at Nationals with Takeshi leading.
[04:29] ---
    And you better believe we'll be there
    ushering Toho Academy HS to victory!
[04:36] ---
    Wakashimazu and I
    are already practicing at the high school.
[04:41] ---
    And of course we're gonna be
    on the roster in the spring.
[04:46] ---
    Humph, we're all going to Nankatsu HS!
[04:50] ---
    Then we'll take down Toho.
[04:55] ---
    I'll see you
    in high school soccer next winter.
[04:58] ---
    Later.
[05:00] ---
    Wait, you're not going say hi to Tsubasa?
[05:06] ---
    Tsubasa's heading to Brazil.
[05:09] ---
    We shared the national title
    this last year of middle school.

[05:13] ---
    Until you come back, I won't be giving up
    Japan's number one spot to anyone.

[05:19] ---
    So get going already and go pro in Brazil.
[05:22] ---
    The next time we meet
    we'll be representing Japan again.

[05:28] ---
    No need for tears, guys.
    You gave it your all.
[05:33] ---
    B-But your guys' winning record, we...
[05:37] ---
    Records are meant to be broken.
[05:39] ---
    Use that frustration
    and put it into practice tomorrow.
[05:47] ---
    Okay!
[05:50] ---
    Oh, so Hyuga was there.
[05:53] ---
    We're retired, but it doesn't mean
    we can't go to practice sometimes.
[05:59] ---
    If we don't, then Hyuga and his team
    will totally be better than us.
[06:04] ---
    You're right.
[06:05] ---
    Same goes for me.
    Will you look after the underclassmen?
[06:09] ---
    What?
[06:11] ---
    Yeah, Katagiri introduced me
    to the top team at Hamana.
[06:14] ---
    I'm practicing with them
    starting tomorrow.
[06:18] ---
    What?! That Hamana?!
[06:21] ---
    -Yeah.
    -That's great.
[06:23] ---
    Congrats, you'll do great.
[06:27] ---
    Yeah, thanks guys.
[06:30] ---
    HAMBURG
[06:40] ---
    Hey, easy!
[06:47] ---
    I swore to Team Japan.
[06:49] ---
    I won't go back home till I go pro.
[06:53] ---
    Wakabayashi, call from the front office.
[06:57] ---
    Got it.
[07:01] ---
    Hello, Wakabayashi speaking.
[07:05] ---
    What?
[07:06] ---
    A contract to go pro?!
[07:08] ---
    Our regular goalie, Mike, is injured.
[07:11] ---
    Doctor says six months
    for any kind of recovery.
[07:15] ---
    So we need a new goalie.
[07:19] ---
    I want to sign a professional contract
    with you right away.

[07:23] ---
    We've always thought the only one
[07:28] ---
    to defend Hamburg would be you.
[07:32] ---
    This is a golden opportunity.
[07:35] ---
    I'm flattered that you have
    so much faith in me.
[07:38] ---
    Of course, the answer is, yes.
[07:43] ---
    But I have a favor to ask.
[07:46] ---
    What?
[07:47] ---
    While I'm living in Germany,
    I still want to be able to play for Japan.
[07:55] ---
    You might think this is silly, but
    whenever Japan makes it to world champion,
[07:58] ---
    my dream is to be there
    with them as goalie.
[08:05] ---
    First and foremost, I want to sign
    as a Japanese player,
[08:08] ---
    and if there's an opportunity to play
    for Japan, I want that to take priority.
[08:15] ---
    I made a promise
    to a fellow player for Japan.
[08:25] ---
    So...
[08:26] ---
    So fast!
[08:31] ---
    This is incredible!
[08:35] ---
    What do you think of Tsubasa?
[08:37] ---
    I'd like him to play for us right now.
[08:42] ---
    He may come up
    a little short during contact play,
[08:45] ---
    but his technique and speed
    more than make up for it.
[08:49] ---
    He's simply outstanding
    when he's got the ball.
[08:53] ---
    Yes.
[08:54] ---
    Once he becomes an adult and puts in
    a little more training in Brazil,
[08:58] ---
    he'll without a doubt carry Team Japan.
[09:04] ---
    Just as I thought,
    Tsubasa already has the skills to be pro.

[09:11] ---
    I think it's about time
    to put it on the agenda.

[09:19] ---
    Tsubasa's training with Hamana continued.
[09:23] ---
    PARIS
[09:26] ---
    Thanks, everyone, for seeing me off.
[09:29] ---
    Misaki, this is from all of us.
[09:32] ---
    We weren't sure what to get,
    but we thought this would be best.
[09:37] ---
    A soccer ball and training gear.
[09:41] ---
    Thanks.
[09:43] ---
    Take care of yourself, okay?
[09:45] ---
    Keep training
    back in Japan, too, okay, Misaki?
[09:49] ---
    Okay.
[09:53] ---
    No matter how many times
    you may've transferred schools...
[09:57] ---
    saying good bye is always hard.
[10:00] ---
    Yeah.
[10:05] ---
    He's really gone.
[10:10] ---
    Stay well, Misaki.
    I'll always be rooting for you.

[10:16] ---
    Guys,
[10:17] ---
    big news!
[10:20] ---
    You mean this?
[10:21] ---
    GENZO WAKABAYASHI (15)
    UNEXPECTED PRO CONTRACT
[10:21] ---
    Oh, you knew?
[10:23] ---
    Of course, we're way ahead of you.
[10:26] ---
    Morning.
[10:27] ---
    Tsubasa, did you see the news?
[10:30] ---
    Yeah.
[10:31] ---
    You finally did it, Wakabayashi.
[10:34] ---
    You beat me to it.
[10:36] ---
    JAPAN SOCCER ASSOCIATION
[10:39] ---
    JAPAN TEAM PLAYER SELECTION MEETING
[10:39] ---
    What?!
[10:40] ---
    You now want Tsubasa Ozora
    to be a member of Team Japan?
[10:44] ---
    It's too soon, Katagiri.
[10:47] ---
    Of course, doing so will attract
    quite a bit of public attention.
[10:52] ---
    But perhaps, physically, he's got a ways
    to go before taking on the world?
[10:57] ---
    And what if he's totally outmatched
[11:00] ---
    when playing against
    more developed players overseas?
[11:04] ---
    Why not exercise patience
    and give him time to develop first?
[11:08] ---
    We can't wait that long.
[11:11] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora is going
    to completely change soccer in Japan!
[11:18] ---
    Wakabayashi did it!
[11:20] ---
    Does it get you fired up, Tsubasa?
[11:22] ---
    Yeah, I'm looking forward to the day
    Wakabayashi plays in a match.
[11:26] ---
    Maybe they call him SGGK in Germany too.
[11:32] ---
    All right, take your seats.
[11:35] ---
    Today, I begin by introducing
    our latest transfer student.
[11:40] ---
    Okay, come in.
[11:49] ---
    Wh-What?!
[11:51] ---
    Misaki!
[11:52] ---
    Hi, happy to have transferred here to
    Nankatsu Middle School. I'm Taro Misaki.
[11:58] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[12:02] ---
    TEAM HAMBURG
    BIRTH DATE DECEMBER 7 / BLOOD TYPE O
[12:05] ---
    Welcome back, Misaki!
[12:08] ---
    With you here,
[12:09] ---
    we'll be on a level playing field
    when we go up against Hyuga and Toho.
[12:12] ---
    Level playing field...
[12:14] ---
    That's right.
[12:15] ---
    Tsubasa, you're going to Brazil
[12:18] ---
    to see Roberto
    when you graduate from middle school.
[12:21] ---
    Yeah.
[12:22] ---
    Looks like I won't be able to play
    with you in high school.
[12:28] ---
    But I know that as long as
    we keep playing soccer,
[12:31] ---
    we'll team up again somewhere right,
[12:33] ---
    Tsubasa?
[12:35] ---
    Yeah, of course.
[12:42] ---
    The seasons roll by...
[12:44] ---
    Tsubasa continued with the Hamana Club,
    his language studies, and...

[12:46] ---
    PROPERLY LEARN
    BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE
[12:53] ---
    the rivals turned Junior Youth team
    members garnered the attention of many

[12:58] ---
    and worked hard
    toward their individual goals.
[13:00] ---
    TATSUNAMI HS
    APPLICATION-RECEPTION
[13:05] ---
    Really, with Tsubasa...
[13:07] ---
    I'm so happy for you, Sanae.
[13:10] ---
    Yeah, thank you. How's Misugi?
[13:14] ---
    Jun is cramming to get into a high school
    affiliated with a medical school.
[13:19] ---
    Wow, so he's hoping to become a doctor?
[13:22] ---
    But he says
    he'll still keep going with soccer.
[13:26] ---
    Supposedly he heard of a soccer player
    in Brazil named Socrates
[13:29] ---
    who managed to be both
    a doctor and soccer player.
[13:33] ---
    Jun's working hard
    so he can be just like him.
[13:37] ---
    FURANO MS
    HOKKAIDO
[13:44] ---
    Fujisawa.
[13:45] ---
    It's been awhile, Matsuyama.
[13:47] ---
    Wow, what a surprise. Why?
[13:50] ---
    My dad's work is going to be done
    sooner than he anticipated.
[13:54] ---
    He thought I should take the exam
    for a Japanese high school.
[13:58] ---
    So I came back early on my own.
[14:02] ---
    I see. And where do you want to go?
[14:05] ---
    Furano High School.
[14:07] ---
    Same.
[14:10] ---
    If we both get in, will you be manager
    again and stay by my side?
[14:16] ---
    Yes, of course.
[14:21] ---
    And here at Toho Academy High School...
[14:34] ---
    Hyuga, Wakashimazu, and Sorimachi
[14:37] ---
    are expected to be regulars on the team
    as soon as they start high school.

[14:42] ---
    Once the exam season is behind them,
    the fierce battles will begin once again.

[14:49] ---
    JAPAN PLAYER SELECTION
    FINAL MEETING
[14:51] ---
    Gentlemen, as soon as
    he graduates middle school,
[14:55] ---
    Tsubasa will travel to Brazil to turn pro.
[14:58] ---
    I want to do the best we can for him
    in Japan before he goes to Brazil.
[15:04] ---
    GENZO WAKABAYASHI (15)
    UNEXPECTED PRO CONTRACT
[15:05] ---
    Genzo Wakabayashi, a pro player
    in Germany, is 15 just like Tsubasa.
[15:10] ---
    This is the generation
    we've been waiting for.
[15:17] ---
    Katagiri, as the technical committee
    has stated, now is not the time.
[15:23] ---
    Sir.
[15:24] ---
    He's got youth and talent
    and is already going to Brazil.
[15:29] ---
    I don't understand the rush.
[15:34] ---
    I've seen him play.
[15:37] ---
    I'm convinced he will
    become an even greater player.
[15:40] ---
    And because of that,
    we must nurture him carefully.
[15:46] ---
    The next day, the roster
    for Team Japan was announced.

[15:50] ---
    Two players from Hamana, where
    Tsubasa is practicing, were selected.

[15:58] ---
    Tsubasa, I hung in there for you,
    but I couldn't get you into Team Japan.
[16:03] ---
    What?! No way, I can't.
[16:07] ---
    Don't ever say those words again.
[16:12] ---
    I never want to hear you say
    I can't or the like again.
[16:18] ---
    I pushed you for this because
    I think you have the skills.
[16:23] ---
    I always want you to aim high.
[16:27] ---
    Even after you go
    to Brazil and turn pro,
[16:29] ---
    continue to strive,
    and aim to be the number one pro there is.
[16:34] ---
    I want you to be the top soccer player
    in the entire world.
[16:45] ---
    I had to give up soccer
    because of an injury I got while playing.
[16:49] ---
    You are living my dream.
[16:55] ---
    I know you are living Roberto's dream too.
[16:57] ---
    For soccer fans all over Japan,
[17:00] ---
    for fans who want you to lead
    the future of Japanese soccer...
[17:06] ---
    You are living their dream!
[17:12] ---
    Team Japan.
[17:19] ---
    All the matches I've played
    have had age limits.

[17:25] ---
    But no more. That was my old soccer life.
[17:31] ---
    I'm going to have to fight to be the best
    in Japan, and to be the best in the world!

[17:37] ---
    And if I'm really going to go to Brazil
    and turn pro, then even more so.

[17:44] ---
    TEAM JAPAN TRAINING CAMP
    SHIZUOKA
[17:46] ---
    That day, a practice match between
    the newly formed Team Japan

[17:50] ---
    and the local university team
    was to take place.

[17:58] ---
    I'm going to take an entrance exam today,
    a little earlier than everyone else.

[18:02] ---
    The entrance exam for Team Japan.
[18:04] ---
    No one decided it.
[18:08] ---
    This is my challenge.
[18:10] ---
    Here I go!
[18:15] ---
    Heel pass back to the goalie.
[18:17] ---
    Okay!
[18:19] ---
    What?
[18:21] ---
    All right, let's go!
[18:22] ---
    I'm headed for Team Japan's goal!
[18:24] ---
    -Tsubasa!
    -That's...
[18:27] ---
    What're you doing? Stop him, crush him!
[18:30] ---
    Y-Yes sir.
[18:37] ---
    What?!
[18:42] ---
    No way!
[18:43] ---
    What is this guy?!
[18:46] ---
    Two more...
[18:56] ---
    All right, I did it!
[18:57] ---
    I passed the last of the defense!
[19:01] ---
    Coach!
[19:04] ---
    He's the coach for Team Japan!
[19:06] ---
    Okay, I'll get by him and shoot!
[19:10] ---
    I'm Tsubasa Ozora!
[19:12] ---
    The one to make soccer in Japan
    number one in the world!
[19:17] ---
    Tsubasa!
[19:23] ---
    Impressive.
    He saw through Tsubasa's plans.

[19:26] ---
    No wonder, he's travelled all around
    Europe as a pro and actually won.

[19:38] ---
    It didn't work after all.
[19:40] ---
    I failed.
[19:46] ---
    Everyone, that was clearly out of line!
[19:50] ---
    Forgive me.
[19:53] ---
    That won't happen again.
[19:59] ---
    Wait.
[20:03] ---
    Do you want to kick the ball
    a little longer with the guys?
[20:08] ---
    You'd be right at home on Team Japan.
[20:12] ---
    That was some impressive dribbling,
    Tsubasa Ozora.
[20:18] ---
    Coach.
[20:27] ---
    Tsubasa is still absent today.
[20:31] ---
    Has anyone heard from him?
[20:32] ---
    No, he hasn't contacted Sanae either.
[20:36] ---
    Hey, look!
[20:38] ---
    What?
[20:39] ---
    See!
[20:40] ---
    TSUBASA OZORA (15) JOINS TEAM JAPAN!!
[20:40] ---
    Tsubasa's on Team Japan?!
[20:43] ---
    He pulled off a raid!
[20:43] ---
    BIRTH OF THE FUTURE ACE OF JAPAN
    YOUNGEST IN HISTORY-UNPRECEDENTED SELECTION
[20:45] ---
    You guys saw it, too?
[20:47] ---
    We just found out.
[20:49] ---
    It's just like Tsubasa.
    He never misses a goal.
[20:53] ---
    There's one more piece of news!
[20:55] ---
    The first international match for
    the Japanese team is against Paraguay.
[21:00] ---
    Paraguay.
[21:02] ---
    I wonder if Tsubasa will play?
[21:05] ---
    Of course he will.
[21:10] ---
    We just can't be hanging around!
[21:13] ---
    Let's follow Tsubasa
    and pass our entrance exams!
[21:18] ---
    And before long, his teammates
[21:20] ---
    across Japan learned
    he had made it onto Team Japan.

[21:27] ---
    Jeez, he pulled it off.
[21:34] ---
    Luckily, I made the team.
[21:38] ---
    Now I just have to do the best I can
    for the coach who put his faith in me.

[21:44] ---
    I need to call
    on every single skill I have.

[21:53] ---
    My goal is number one in the world!
[21:55] ---
    Go!
[21:58] ---
    Tsubasa's signature move, the Drive Shot.
[22:03] ---
    I will be the number one soccer player
    in the world!
