**[00:00] ---**
NANKATSU, SHIZUOKA
**[00:07] ---**
Hey, Kumi, so what's the scoop?
**[00:10] ---**
I thought you were going to tell him
after nationals?
**[00:13] ---**
Yeah, but then Tsubasa
had to go to Europe.
**[00:18] ---**
The tournament might've ended, but then
it was just more and more soccer.
**[00:22] ---**
Well, it is what it is I guess.
**[00:25] ---**
I mean, it's what makes Tsubasa
so endearing.
**[00:28] ---**
Yukari.
**[00:29] ---**
Right, Sanae?
**[00:32] ---**
Sanae.
**[00:34] ---**
Kumi.
**[00:36] ---**
Go for it, both of you.
I won't be picking sides.
**[00:44] ---**
Yukari, when is Tsubasa
coming back to Japan?
**[00:50] ---**
After the International
Junior Youth Tournament in France,
**[00:55] ---**
so I guess that means next semester.
**[00:58] ---**
What, that long?
**[01:01] ---**
Yeah. No summer vacay
for Tsubasa and the rest of the guys.
**[01:06] ---**
It's soccer twenty-four-seven.

EPISODE 7
CONVERGE ON PARIS!!
**[02:45] ---**
We've managed three wins and
two losses so far this tournament.
**[02:50] ---**
That's a nice lead
coming to France, Coach.
**[02:54] ---**
Yes, thanks to you, Misugi.
**[02:56] ---**
Especially in those last three matches,
**[02:58] ---**
your formation and that gutsy decision
to put Matsuyama in defense paid off.
**[03:06] ---**
Coach. It worked because
Tsubasa controls the midfield.
**[03:13] ---**
Hyuga, Matsuyama, and Wakashimazu's line,
**[03:15] ---**
with Tsubasa holding the center,
is finally beginning to solidify.
**[03:21] ---**
Ever the astute observer.
**[03:24] ---**
Huh?
**[03:25] ---**
You may be sitting on the bench,
**[03:27] ---**
but I can tell that in your head
you're on the field playing.
**[03:32] ---**
Coach.
**[03:33] ---**
I should mention for this International
Junior Youth Tournament,
**[03:36] ---**
I've registered you as a player.
**[03:39] ---**
What?
**[03:40] ---**
Mr. Katagiri, where's Misaki?
**[03:43] ---**
He doesn't seem to be at the airport.
**[03:47] ---**
I gave him a Team Japan uniform,
asking him to join
**[03:52] ---**
but he seemed hesitant.
**[03:54] ---**
What?
**[03:56] ---**
It's been three years
since he's played with you.
**[03:59] ---**
He seems worried about
whether he can still keep up with you,
**[04:02] ---**
or whether the three-year absence
is just too much.
**[04:07] ---**
*Misaki.*
**[04:10] ---**
*I'm Taro Misaki.*
**[04:13] ---**
*It'll be fine. Misaki can do it.*
**[04:17] ---**
*That match when you had just transferred,
we ran combination plays no problem.*
**[04:24] ---**
*I believe in you, Misaki.*
**[04:27] ---**
*I believe that you'll join Japan Junior
Youth, so we can run combo plays again.*
**[04:33] ---**
Okay men, the tournament is in three days.
**[04:34] ---**
JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH ACCOMMODATION
**[04:36] ---**
You have today off,
so make sure you rest up.
**[04:41] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[04:50] ---**
Tsubasa.
**[04:53] ---**
*Coach told us to rest today,
but I can't sit still.*
**[05:06] ---**
*So this is Paris.*
**[05:11] ---**
*And there's the Eiffel Tower.
Okay, it's decided.*
**[05:18] ---**
*I remember the first day
we moved to Nankatsu.*
**[05:22] ---**
*I couldn't sit still so I went into town,
practicing my dribbling.*
**[05:29] ---**
*That's where I met
Ishizaki, Wakabayashi, and Roberto.*
**[05:30] ---**
NANKATSU
**[05:35] ---**
*Oh, the Eiffel Tower!*
**[05:38] ---**
Wow, it's huge.
**[05:54] ---**
What?! M-Misaki?
**[05:59] ---**
Tsubasa.
**[06:01] ---**
Misaki.
**[06:02] ---**
Long time no see, Misaki.
**[06:04] ---**
Tsubasa. It's really you!
**[06:08] ---**
*Tsubasa Ozora and Taro Misaki,
the Golden Duo of Nankatsu.*
**[06:12] ---**
*Or rather, the Golden Duo of Team
Japan, finally reunited after three years.*
**[06:18] ---**
You're exactly the same, Tsubasa.
**[06:21] ---**
The ball is still your friend.
**[06:26] ---**
And for you too.
**[06:30] ---**
By the way, Misaki,
about joining Team Japan...
**[06:33] ---**
I'll do it.
**[06:35] ---**
It'll be like the good ol' days
of our combo plays.
**[06:38] ---**
A-All right, Misaki.
**[06:41] ---**
*Yes, yes!
Team Japan will finally be at its best.*
**[06:51] ---**
You're going to eat pavement.
**[06:53] ---**
Get ready.
**[06:57] ---**
You're the ones
who're gonna be eating pavement.
**[07:03] ---**
He's strong.
**[07:06] ---**
Too late for that.
**[07:08] ---**
Stop it.
**[07:10] ---**
And who the hell are you?
**[07:12] ---**
Stop it now. Get out of here.
**[07:21] ---**
What's your problem?
**[07:22] ---**
It was five to one, and you
couldn't root for the underdog, eh?
**[07:28] ---**
You're from Nankatsu MS.
**[07:31] ---**
Your family owns a boxing gym.
**[07:35] ---**
It's Kanda, Koshi Kanda.
You're from Nankatsu MS, too?
**[07:40] ---**
Boxers aren't supposed to use their skills
for picking fights.
**[07:45] ---**
I don't root for someone
who can't follow the rules.
**[07:49] ---**
You're bleeding.
**[07:55] ---**
Besides, some people can do amazing things
without ever using their fists.

That's Tsubasa Ozora.*

FRANCE JAPAN JUNIOR YOUTH PRACTICE PITCH
**[08:38] ---**
I'm Taro Misaki. Nice to meet everyone.
**[08:40] ---**
Misaki!
**[08:41] ---**
Misaki, finally.
**[08:43] ---**
How've you been, Misaki?
**[08:46] ---**
The tournament is in two days.
Let's practice.
**[08:51] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[08:52] ---**
Pair up. I want you to pass
back and forth, then shoot.
**[08:57] ---**
Goalie, stay in front of the goal.
**[08:59] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[09:01] ---**
Okay, Tsubasa and Misaki, you're up.
**[09:04] ---**
-O-Okay.
-O-Okay.
**[09:10] ---**
Tsubasa and Misaki.
**[09:12] ---**
Three years since their last combo play.
**[09:14] ---**
Can they be in sync again?
**[09:24] ---**
*Misaki.*
**[09:25] ---**
*Tsubasa.*
**[09:29] ---**
-All right, let's go, Misaki.
-Yeah!
**[09:31] ---**
Here.
**[09:33] ---**
Okay.
**[09:37] ---**
Oh, th-this is...
**[09:40] ---**
Tsubasa.
**[09:41] ---**
Misaki.
**[09:46] ---**
It's been three years,
but they're playing in perfect harmony.
**[09:48] ---**
The speed
doesn't lower their accuracy at all.
**[09:51] ---**
Of course. Why do you think
they're called the Golden Duo?
**[09:54] ---**
-Awesome.
-The Golden Duo is back.
**[09:58] ---**
Last pass, Misaki.
**[10:00] ---**
All right.
**[10:08] ---**
Nice shot, Misaki.
**[10:09] ---**
Nice pass, Tsubasa.
**[10:11] ---**
All right, you two were amazing.
**[10:14] ---**
Those passes, those shots, that speed.
**[10:16] ---**
Misaki's improved so much here in France.
**[10:19] ---**
Superb, Tsubasa.
**[10:21] ---**
It's been three years
and you still surprise me.
**[10:24] ---**
I can barely keep up with you.
**[10:27] ---**
Same to you. Now we just
need to do the same in the game.
**[10:32] ---**
Yup.
**[10:33] ---**
All right men,
don't let Tsubasa and Mikami out do you.
**[10:36] ---**
I wanna see you sweat.
**[10:38] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[10:40] ---**
-Let's go.
-All right.
**[10:42] ---**
Here.
**[10:45] ---**
Nice, Wakashimazu.
**[10:47] ---**
Get the lead out, Wakashimazu.
**[10:49] ---**
Why're you punching the ball
instead of grabbing it with both hands?
**[10:52] ---**
What?!
**[10:54] ---**
Wakabayashi.
**[10:55] ---**
What are you two doing?
**[10:57] ---**
Your passes are all over the place.
**[10:59] ---**
How were you even chosen for this team?
**[11:02] ---**
Wh-What?
**[11:04] ---**
Wakabayashi.
**[11:05] ---**
Wakabayashi.
**[11:07] ---**
Your overlap is too slow.
**[11:09] ---**
What are you doing, you guys?
**[11:11] ---**
You're gonna lose at this rate.
**[11:13] ---**
That shot isn't going to cut it
against the world's best.
**[11:17] ---**
Wakabayashi!
**[11:19] ---**
Hyuga!
**[11:20] ---**
Hyuga.
**[11:22] ---**
Okay, let's wrap it up for today.
Time to go in.
**[11:26] ---**
R-Right.
**[11:34] ---**
Tsubasa.
**[11:37] ---**
He's so different now.
**[11:40] ---**
Ever since the Hamburg match,
all Wakabayashi does
**[11:43] ---**
is make snide remarks.
**[11:45] ---**
Yeah, it's like he's trying
to pick a fight.
**[11:48] ---**
I get that
he's a part of a prestigious team
**[11:51] ---**
in Europe and he's got
the skills to match.
**[11:54] ---**
But we're trying our best.
He criticizes our every move.
**[11:59] ---**
I have a feeling
Wakabayashi might be goalie
**[12:01] ---**
for the International
Junior Youth Tournament.
**[12:04] ---**
What?
**[12:06] ---**
Maybe. Coach Mikami
used to be Wakabayashi's team coach.
**[12:16] ---**
Wakabayashi.
**[12:18] ---**
What's up, Tsubasa?
**[12:22] ---**
So, day after tomorrow, huh?
**[12:24] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:26] ---**
Do your best, Tsubasa, for Japan.
**[12:30] ---**
I have no plans on playing this time.
**[12:33] ---**
What?
**[12:34] ---**
I'd only undo the team cohesion
you've all built.
**[12:39] ---**
Wakabayashi.
**[12:41] ---**
They've definitely improved this tour.
**[12:44] ---**
I'm their target in practice, target for
their anger, their fighting spirit.
**[12:47] ---**
They've all grown because of it.
**[12:49] ---**
It's been well worth all the provoking.
**[12:53] ---**
Th-Then...
**[12:55] ---**
It was to make Team Japan stronger.
I was happy to have to play the bad guy.
**[13:01] ---**
It got them thinking about
their own plays.
**[13:04] ---**
And Wakashimazu has even more drive now.
**[13:09] ---**
The starting goal keeper for Team Japan.
**[13:12] ---**
I'll give it to him this one time.
**[13:15] ---**
Wakabayashi, you're...
**[13:19] ---**
But even with all the improvement,
the challenge of international competition
**[13:23] ---**
is steeper
than even you might think, Tsubasa.
**[13:26] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[13:28] ---**
And the one to bring it all together
for Team Japan is you, Tsubasa.
**[13:33] ---**
I'm counting on you.
**[13:34] ---**
Wakabayashi.
**[13:36] ---**
All right, Wakabayashi.
**[13:40] ---**
W-Wakabayashi.

CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC

BIRTHDATE JUNE 21 / HEIGHT 168 CM
WEIGHT 57 KG / BLOOD TYPE B
**[13:48] ---**
**[13:50] ---**
FRANCE
**[13:52] ---**
The first International Junior Youth
Tournament starts tomorrow in France.
**[13:57] ---**
Germany Junior Youth,
who along with the home team, France,
**[14:00] ---**
are pegged to be strong candidates
for the title, have just landed.
**[14:03] ---**
Oh, that's him. That's Schneider in front.
**[14:04] ---**
GERMANY JUNIOR YOUTH
**[14:06] ---**
-Schester, the playmaker.
-It's Kaltz, the technician.
**[14:09] ---**
We're looking forward to seeing
Karl Heinz Schneider play.
**[14:12] ---**
He's Europe's number one scorer
**[14:14] ---**
and most likely to be
this tournament's top performer.
**[14:18] ---**
Hey, Team Italy is here, too.
**[14:21] ---**
ITALY JUNIOR YOUTH
**[14:21] ---**
You're right, hurry.
**[14:24] ---**
The Italians have the amazing goalie
Zino Hernandez.
**[14:28] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:29] ---**
*Zino Hernandez.*
**[14:31] ---**
*This tournament will decide
who's the better goalie,*
**[14:34] ---**
*Zino or Hamburg's Wakabayashi.*
**[14:36] ---**
Stay sharp.
**[14:38] ---**
Hey, that pass is weak.
**[14:39] ---**
Hey, working hard guys?
**[14:43] ---**
Coach, and Diaz, and Pascal.
**[14:46] ---**
Thanks for reviewing
the European teams, Coach Valvaz.
**[14:49] ---**
And how are the other teams doing?
**[14:52] ---**
How was it, Diaz?
**[14:54] ---**
There were a couple of players
to look out for.
**[14:58] ---**
But overall, no big deal.
**[15:01] ---**
All right, let's teach these European
players how South America plays soccer.
**[15:07] ---**
With our skills,
we can win against anyone.
**[15:11] ---**
Diaz!
**[15:12] ---**
Argentina for the win!
**[15:15] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:19] ---**
Coach Carbonara has a good eye.
**[15:22] ---**
They're letting me play too. Hi guys.
**[15:26] ---**
This is Louis Napoleon,
please welcome him.
**[15:30] ---**
*So this is Louis Napoleon.*
**[15:37] ---**
*I've heard rumors. And none of them good.*
**[15:43] ---**
*He's got skill, but he's always
getting ejected for bad behavior.*
**[15:48] ---**
*He's been suspended, too.*
**[15:51] ---**
*The notorious Louis Napoleon.*
**[15:54] ---**
*Coach brought in a ticking time bomb
just before the tournament.*
**[15:57] ---**
*Does he really want to win?*
**[16:00] ---**
You're the playmaker, right?
**[16:04] ---**
Just make sure you pass to me.
**[16:07] ---**
Do that and France will win for sure.
**[16:13] ---**
Hey, I've got big news.
**[16:16] ---**
Misaki is playing for Japan
this tournament.
**[16:20] ---**
What, are you sure?
**[16:22] ---**
Now we've gotta root for Japan and France.
**[16:27] ---**
Yeah!
**[16:28] ---**
Tomorrow's the big tournament,
so let's focus.
**[16:31] ---**
Yes, sir.
**[16:32] ---**
That's right.
Our first opponents are the Italians.
**[16:36] ---**
They thought we weren't worth their time,
and refused to play us.
**[16:39] ---**
They're gonna regret it.
**[16:42] ---**
Here.
**[16:44] ---**
Run, come on guys.
Speed it up coming upfield.
**[16:46] ---**
Switch between offense and defense faster.
**[16:48] ---**
-Yeah.
-All right, Tsubasa.
**[16:50] ---**
-Nitta, kick it to the right.
-Got it.
**[16:55] ---**
Tsubasa.
**[16:56] ---**
All right, Hyuga.
**[16:57] ---**
Got it.
**[17:01] ---**
Nice shot, Hyuga.
**[17:03] ---**
Yes, good timing.
**[17:05] ---**
They're starting to move well.
**[17:07] ---**
Crap.
**[17:09] ---**
I'll stop it next time for sure.
**[17:11] ---**
That's the spirit, Wakashimazu.
**[17:12] ---**
Wakabayashi.
**[17:16] ---**
*I'll win. I'm going to outdo Wakabayashi.*
**[17:19] ---**
*The starting goalie position is mine.*
**[17:22] ---**
Nice catch, Wakashimazu.
**[17:25] ---**
All right, let's go, Misaki.
**[17:27] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:31] ---**
It's only day two since they paired up,
and they're already in sync.
**[17:35] ---**
Yeah.
**[17:36] ---**
Their combo playing will work against
any opponent, no matter how strong.
**[17:41] ---**
Tsubasa and Misaki.
They've earned that name, Golden Duo.
**[17:45] ---**
Coach, we need to talk.
**[17:48] ---**
Matsuyama.
**[17:52] ---**
Hey, what's defense doing?
Put some effort into it.
**[17:56] ---**
What are you talking about,
Wakabayashi? I've had enough of...
**[17:59] ---**
Easy, Soda.
**[18:01] ---**
Hyuga, you of all people...
**[18:02] ---**
No point taking it out on your own.
**[18:05] ---**
Save that for our match
with Italy tomorrow.
**[18:09] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:12] ---**
*Hyuga.*
**[18:14] ---**
*Hyuga.*
**[18:16] ---**
Okay, let's practice. Come on, guys.
**[18:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:21] ---**
One more push for tomorrow.
**[18:25] ---**
Right, Coach?
**[18:28] ---**
Tsubasa pulls the team up,
and he buoys everyone's spirits.
**[18:32] ---**
If anyone is deserving of
the title Captain, it's Tsubasa, not me.
**[18:36] ---**
Matsuyama.
**[18:38] ---**
The captain of Team Japan
can only be Tsubasa.
**[18:49] ---**
*Listen to that crowd.
The stadium is packed.*
**[18:54] ---**
*The twelve participating countries
have arrived.*
**[18:58] ---**
*It's the soccer tournament
this city has been waiting for.*
**[19:00] ---**
It's finally happening.
**[19:01] ---**
*France's first International Junior
Youth Tournament has begun.*
**[19:05] ---**
*The qualifiers consist
of three teams going round robin.*
**[19:10] ---**
*The top team from each group, four teams
in total, will play in the finals.*
**[19:13] ---**
*First, we have Germany
with the Young Emperor,*
**[19:16] ---**
*the one and only Karl Heinz Schneider.*
**[19:20] ---**
*Germany is this tournament's
projected winner.*
**[19:23] ---**
*Germany will win.*
**[19:27] ---**
*In addition to Schneider, Schester, Kaltz,
and Margus. Truly a powerhouse.*
**[19:33] ---**
*Italy Junior Youth, playing Japan today,*
**[19:35] ---**
*is also a formidable contender
in this tournament.*
**[19:40] ---**
*Zino Hernandez is rumored to be
the number one goalie in Europe.*
**[19:44] ---**
*In the tour leading up to the tournament,*
**[19:46] ---**
*he played five matches
and allowed no goals.*
**[19:49] ---**
*And of course we have the tremendous
Team Argentina from South America.*
**[19:52] ---**
*Their weapons are their individual skills,
which is characteristic of this team.*
**[19:56] ---**
*The captain, Juan Diaz, is rumored to be
a once-in-a-century kind of player.*
**[20:04] ---**
*And the crowd goes wild
for their France Junior Youth.*
**[20:08] ---**
*Led by master coach, Carbonara,
they play with an artistic flair,*
**[20:13] ---**
*led by Captain Elle Sid Pierre
at the center.*
**[20:16] ---**
France is definitely going to win!
**[20:18] ---**
Let's show them
what the home team is made of.
**[20:20] ---**
*We're going to do it.*
**[20:21] ---**
*Our reputation is on the line,
so we're going to win.*
**[20:25] ---**
*And finally last but not least,
Japan Junior Youth.*
**[20:28] ---**
*You may see some familiar faces.*
**[20:30] ---**
*The Japanese team
is made up of the excellent players*
