    Here I go!
[00:03] ---
    No way!
[00:04] ---
    What is this guy?!
[00:16] ---
    He's the coach for Team Japan!
[00:22] ---
    Impressive.
    He saw through Tsubasa's plans.

[00:26] ---
    Everyone, that was clearly out of line!
[00:30] ---
    Forgive me.
[00:32] ---
    You'd be right at home on Team Japan.
[00:37] ---
    That was some impressive dribbling,
    Tsubasa Ozora.
[00:41] ---
    Coach.

    TSUBASA TAKES OFF
[02:22] ---
    Fire Shot!
[02:31] ---
    Goal!
[02:32] ---
    That was Karl Heinz Schneider's
    Fire Shot!

[02:38] ---
    Hamburg and Munich
    are tied for first in percentages.

[02:41] ---
    Having been down by two
[02:42] ---
    in this crucial match, Munich decided
    to play Schneider in the second half.

[02:46] ---
    That was certainly a brilliant choice
[02:48] ---
    as they've got one point back
    and are now only one out.

[02:51] ---
    Impressive, Schneider.
[02:53] ---
    I hear back home Tsubasa
    has been picked for Japan's A team.

[02:57] ---
    And here I am with a pro contract
    warming the bench.

[03:02] ---
    Darn, I need to keep pushing.
    I refuse to be out done.

[03:08] ---
    That was some dangerous contact play.
[03:10] ---
    Budenski, Hamburg's goalie,
    may have dislocated his shoulder.

[03:15] ---
    Wakabayashi, you're up.
[03:16] ---
    Yes, sir.
[03:21] ---
    Coming in for Hamburg's Budenski
[03:24] ---
    is the young fifteen-year-old goal keeper
    from Japan, Genzo Wakabayashi.

[03:31] ---
    Who knew?
[03:32] ---
    Just as we promised, our showdown
    in the pros begins now, Wakabayashi.

[03:36] ---
    All right, it's on, Schneider.
[03:39] ---
    We're keeping this one point.
[03:42] ---
    The match is in the final stage.
[03:47] ---
    Hamburg continues to lead by one point.
[03:50] ---
    Wakabayashi, get ready.
[03:54] ---
    Last Fire!
[04:00] ---
    He got it!
[04:02] ---
    Munich's tying goal is denied!
[04:07] ---
    That's it folks!
[04:09] ---
    Hamburg's Japanese goalie
    Genzo Wakabayashi

[04:13] ---
    protected the goal and the point!
[04:16] ---
    As of now, Hamburg has the lead.
[04:20] ---
    That was the SGGK, Super Great
    Goal Keeper, Genzo Wakabayashi,

[04:25] ---
    with his amazing debut.
[04:28] ---
    I won this time, Schneider.
[04:31] ---
    This won't happen next time, Wakabayashi!
[04:35] ---
    Nippon! Nippon!
[04:40] ---
    The first international match
    for Team Japan is against Paraguay.

[04:46] ---
    The packed stadium is already
    sending out chants for Japan.

[04:54] ---
    I wonder where Tsubasa is?
[04:57] ---
    Yeah, where'd he go?
[05:02] ---
    There he is over there!
[05:07] ---
    When it comes to Team Japan,
    all attention is on the recent champion

[05:11] ---
    of the International Junior Youth
    Tournament in France,
[05:14] ---
    that tournament's MVP who everyone knows,
    fifteen-year-old Tsubasa Ozora.
[05:19] ---
    Why is he conversing with the competition?
[05:22] ---
    He's probably trying his language skills.
[05:24] ---
    He's been studying Portuguese and more.
[05:26] ---
    So, you're going to São Paulo in Brazil?
[05:30] ---
    I usually play in Brazil, too.
[05:32] ---
    Maybe we'll play each other one day, kid.
[05:35] ---
    I bet we will,
    and I'm looking forward to it.
[05:38] ---
    Okay, let's play hard today.
[05:40] ---
    Yeah, but go easy on me.

[05:47] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora's name
    is missing from the starting lineup.

[05:52] ---
    When will they put in Tsubasa?
[05:55] ---
    I know we're all looking forward
    to that in this match.

[05:59] ---
    Jeez, Tsubasa's not starting.
[06:03] ---
    But even just experiencing being
    on the bench will be good for Tsubasa.
[06:08] ---
    That's right.
[06:10] ---
    And the match begins!
    Japan versus Paraguay.

[06:15] ---
    And so it began.
[06:18] ---
    But from the very start,
    Paraguay overwhelmed.

[06:22] ---
    Having clinched two points
[06:24] ---
    in the first half, they kept Japan
    scoreless going into the second half.

[06:29] ---
    They're amazing.
    This is how top pros move.

[06:33] ---
    This is the kind of soccer
    I'll be up against from now on.

[06:46] ---
    And then, five minutes into the second
    half, Paraguay made yet another point.

[06:54] ---
    Hey, they have to put Tsubasa in now.
[06:58] ---
    Tsu, ba, sa! Tsu, ba, sa!
[07:01] ---
    Tsu, ba, sa! Tsu, ba, sa!
[07:04] ---
    Tsu, ba, sa! Tsu, ba, sa!
[07:07] ---
    Tsu, ba, sa! Tsu, ba, sa!
[07:10] ---
    Tsu, ba, sa! Tsu, ba, sa!
[07:13] ---
    Tsu, ba, sa! Tsu, ba, sa!
[07:17] ---
    Wow! Just listen to the calls
    for Tsubasa in the stadium.

[07:22] ---
    The crowd has been waiting
    for Tsubasa Ozora!

[07:26] ---
    The fans demand new energy
    in Japanese soccer!

[07:30] ---
    Tsubasa, do you hear it?
    The fans' cheers...
[07:35] ---
    The one to change soccer in Japan is you!
[07:38] ---
    You're the only one!
[07:41] ---
    Let's go, Tsubasa!
[07:43] ---
    Yes, sir.
[07:52] ---
    Japan gets the throw-in
    and they announce a member change.

[07:57] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora is going in!
[08:00] ---
    Tsubasa's playing!
[08:01] ---
    Tsubasa!
[08:02] ---
    We're counting on you, Tsubasa!
[08:11] ---
    Apparently Tsubasa's going to throw in
    the ball himself.

[08:15] ---
    All right!
[08:24] ---
    The ball goes all the way
    in front of the Paraguay goal.

[08:27] ---
    What?
[08:28] ---
    Team Japan finally gets
    an opportunity to score.

[08:33] ---
    Japan's tall forward, Nagaoka, heads it.
[08:36] ---
    So close! It hits the bar.
[08:40] ---
    -Nice throw-in.
    -Thank you.
[08:43] ---
    Everyone.
[08:46] ---
    We can still win this.
[08:49] ---
    Maybe the long trip's got to them,
    but even Paraguay
[08:52] ---
    is moving a little slower now
    in the second half than in the first half.
[08:56] ---
    There's a three-point difference, but we
    definitely have a chance of winning it.
[09:00] ---
    H-He...
[09:02] ---
    Just when everyone's started to give up,
    this guy still fights for a win!

[09:08] ---
    First Nankatsu MS,
    then Japan Junior Youth...

[09:12] ---
    He's always leading winning teams.
[09:14] ---
    That's Tsubasa Ozora!
[09:17] ---
    All right, guys.
[09:18] ---
    It's like Tsubasa says.
    They're definitely showing their fatigue.
[09:23] ---
    But our hard training in camp
    is what got us here.
[09:27] ---
    Let's go hard towards a win!
[09:29] ---
    Yeah!
[09:33] ---
    So, Team Japan.
[09:35] ---
    Can you change the tide with Tsubasa?
[09:48] ---
    For Japan to win,
    I need to dominate the midfield now.

[09:54] ---
    All right, this midfield is mine!
[10:00] ---
    What?
[10:01] ---
    Of course, Tsubasa
    wasn't just sitting on the bench.

[10:04] ---
    He was studying his opponents' moves.
[10:07] ---
    Way to go, kid.
[10:09] ---
    I'm going for it!
[10:11] ---
    I'm gonna use everything I learned
    in 15 years of soccer and fight!

[10:15] ---
    There it is!
[10:16] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora breaks through
    all on his own!

[10:19] ---
    What incredible dribbling!
[10:32] ---
    Toward grown up soccer...
[10:34] ---
    Toward a world class soccer...
[10:37] ---
    Tsubasa has just...
[10:41] ---
    Go!
[10:44] ---
    ...flown to new heights!
[10:46] ---
    Drive Shot!
[10:50] ---
    Goal!
[10:51] ---
    Finally, Japan scores their first point!
[10:54] ---
    I did it!
[10:58] ---
    All right, Tsubasa, nice shot!
[11:01] ---
    Wow.
[11:03] ---
    Tsubasa, you really are amazing!
[11:12] ---
    The tables have turned.
[11:15] ---
    This is it, Tsubasa.
[11:17] ---
    This is what I was hoping for.
[11:20] ---
    You're going to change Team Japan.
[11:25] ---
    Japan with another scoring chance!
    Tsubasa's free kick!

[11:36] ---
    It's in! Tsubasa makes the free kick
    with the Banana Shot!

[11:41] ---
    Second point!
[11:45] ---
    Impressive, his movement's
    getting sharper and sharper.
[11:50] ---
    Tsubasa! Get another one!
[12:14] ---
    There it is!
[12:16] ---
    The third point for Tsubasa
    is his signature Overhead Kick!

[12:20] ---
    They've tied Paraguay!
[12:22] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora in his debut match for Japan
    has achieved an unbelievable hat trick!

    Hello.

    Sanae, it's me.

[14:45] ---
    Graduation hasn't happened yet.
[14:48] ---
    Yeah.
[14:49] ---
    I've really been so incredibly lucky.
[14:54] ---
    I've been blessed with wonderful friends.
[14:56] ---
    Since I was little I've been able
[14:59] ---
    to devote myself to my love of soccer
    in the best possible environment.
[15:04] ---
    And now...
[15:05] ---
    I get to go to Brazil to make
    my childhood dream come true.
[15:12] ---
    But when I get to Brazil,
    the guys won't be there.
[15:16] ---
    I'll have to do everything myself.
[15:21] ---
    So I want to leave Japan by myself, too.
[15:25] ---
    All alone? But why?
[15:28] ---
    If everyone sees me off, I feel like
    I'll just want to come back to Japan.

[15:35] ---
    It's not that I've lost my confidence,
    but I just feel uneasy.
[15:39] ---
    Tsubasa.
[15:42] ---
    But it'll be okay.
[15:44] ---
    When I get to Brazil,
    I'll just give my soccer everything I got.
[15:47] ---
    Please don't worry about me.
[15:51] ---
    Okay.
[15:54] ---
    I just wanted to say good bye to you.
[15:59] ---
    Like Wakabayashi, I don't plan on coming
    back to Japan until I've turned pro.

[16:08] ---
    Tsubasa.
[16:10] ---
    Stay well. Tell everyone I say bye.
[16:18] ---
    Good bye.
[16:33] ---
    It sure feels like spring.
[16:36] ---
    Tsubasa, are you sure?
[16:38] ---
    Is that all you're taking?
[16:40] ---
    Yeah. I'm not going to Brazil
    for sightseeing.
[16:45] ---
    If there's anything I need,
    I'll just buy it there.
[16:48] ---
    Aren't you a bit early for the bus?
[16:51] ---
    Yeah. Since today's my last day
    before leaving,
[16:53] ---
    I'll just do a quick run
    around Nankatsu and then go.
[16:56] ---
    Okay.
[16:58] ---
    Okay, Mom and Dad, I'm off.
[17:03] ---
    All right.
[17:04] ---
    Be careful.
[17:13] ---
    So there he goes.
[17:15] ---
    It's been Tsubasa's dream
    since he was little.
[17:19] ---
    I guess the only thing we can do
    is keep an eye on him.
[17:25] ---
    Yeah.
[17:27] ---
    By the way, are you sure it was
    a good idea to keep it a secret?
[17:32] ---

    to have a little brother.
[17:37] ---
    It's fine.

    When Tsubasa gets back,
    the three of us can surprise him.
[17:42] ---
    You're right.
[17:44] ---
    But, little brother?
    You know it's going to be another boy?
[17:50] ---
    Yes. We're going to have
