    The twelve participating countries
    have arrived.
[00:05] ---
    Listen to that crowd,
    the stadium is packed.
[00:08] ---
    It's finally started.
[00:10] ---
    The International
    Junior Youth Tournament.
[00:12] ---
    Our first step on the global stage.
[00:16] ---
    It's been three years. I can't believe
    I'm going to play with Tsubasa again.
[00:22] ---
    Tsubasa.
[00:23] ---
    What?
[00:31] ---
    This is for the Nankatsu win!
[00:40] ---
    Misaki.
[00:48] ---
    Grab it, Misaki.
[00:55] ---
    Misaki.
[00:57] ---
    Thanks, Tsubasa.
[00:59] ---
    FOR MISAKI, LET'S PAIR UP
    ON THE JAPAN TEAM. TSUBASA OZORA

    EPISODE 8
    I'M TARO MISAKI
[02:48] ---
    Misaki.
[02:50] ---
    It's the last day
    and still quite the turnout.
[02:54] ---
    Oh, Mr. Shimonari, my deepest gratitude
[02:57] ---
    for putting on
    such a generous and wonderful exhibition.
[03:02] ---
    Not at all,
    my thanks to you for your talented work.
[03:04] ---
    It's been awhile, Shimonari.
[03:07] ---
    Oh, Mr. Yamamura.
[03:09] ---
    What splendid works these all are.
[03:12] ---
    Aren't they?
[03:13] ---
    Thank you very much.
[03:15] ---
    But you know...
[03:18] ---
    you've created such an abundance
    of mountain paintings from all over Japan,
[03:22] ---
    so why not any of Mt. Fuji?
[03:27] ---
    Misaki, could you please elucidate?
[03:29] ---
    Oh, yes.
[03:31] ---
    Mt. Fuji is the most beautiful mountain
    in the world.
[03:34] ---
    If I paint it, I need it to be something
    that I feel lives up to that.
[03:38] ---
    This year I thought
    I would try and I visited, but...
[03:43] ---
    I didn't feel confident that I could paint
    a piece to truly be proud of.
[03:47] ---
    I'm sure one of these days, you'll be able
    to produce an impressive Mt. Fuji.
[03:51] ---
    When that happens,
    I will be there to purchase it.
[03:56] ---
    Thank you very much.
[03:58] ---
    By the way, Misaki, have you given
    any more thought to studying in France?
[04:03] ---
    Yes, I greatly appreciate the offer,
    but I couldn't take Taro with me.
[04:10] ---
    About that.
    Someone here would like to speak with you.
[04:15] ---
    Me?
[04:16] ---
    This way, please.
[04:21] ---
    Long time no see, Ichiro.
[04:24] ---
    Yumiko!
[04:26] ---
    -All right, defense!
    -Behind you!
[04:32] ---
    S-Stop him.
[04:34] ---
    Can't, he's too fast.
[04:36] ---
    Now.
[04:40] ---
    NISHIMINE ES
[04:40] ---
    Wow, so this is how
    a national champion plays.
[04:44] ---
    You really are amazing, Misaki.
[04:46] ---
    It'll be an easy win
    over Matsuura ES in the next match.
[04:50] ---
    Please, Misaki. Show us some more moves.
[04:55] ---
    Okay.
[04:56] ---
    Hey, guys.
[04:58] ---
    NISHIMINE ES
[04:58] ---
    Huh, Mitsuru finally turned up.
[05:01] ---
    Oh yeah.
[05:03] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[05:06] ---
    I was at my English conversation class.
[05:09] ---
    Don't bother if you're that busy.
[05:13] ---
    This guy always skips practice
    because of cram school and practice tests.
[05:17] ---
    Yeah, we've even had to play
    with ten people because of him.
[05:21] ---
    But Misaki's here now,
    so you're not needed.
[05:25] ---
    What? I wanna play.
[05:27] ---
    Mitsuru!
[05:28] ---
    Mom.
[05:29] ---
    What are you doing in a place like this?
[05:32] ---
    Here she comes.
[05:33] ---
    Your tutor is here and waiting.
[05:36] ---
    But Mom, I'm gonna learn soccer
    from Misaki today.
[05:40] ---
    Honestly, the foolishness
    coming out of your mouth...
[05:43] ---
    Never mind, you're coming with me.
    It's time to study.
[05:46] ---
    But Mom.
[05:50] ---
    All right. Now that he's gone,
    let's get back to practicing.
[05:54] ---
    Yeah!
[05:58] ---
    Okay, see you tomorrow.
[05:59] ---
    -See ya!
    -Bye.
[06:03] ---
    Misaki, come over to our place.
[06:05] ---
    Your dad's still in Tokyo, right?
[06:08] ---
    Oh yeah, thanks.
[06:11] ---
    Here you go.
[06:13] ---
    I really appreciate it.
[06:15] ---
    Don't be silly. Eat up.
[06:17] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[06:19] ---
    It's just amazing.
    You and your dad travel all over Japan.
[06:25] ---
    And yet you manage to be
    the country's number one soccer player.
[06:28] ---
    He's not just a talented soccer player.
[06:30] ---
    Misaki's grades are stellar too.
[06:33] ---
    Mom.
[06:35] ---
    Oh I see. You should really try and be
    more like Misaki, Kazuo. Isn't that right?
[06:41] ---
    Yes, absolutely.
[06:43] ---
    Jeez, I knew I wouldn't hear
    the end of this.
[06:48] ---
    Dad and Mom.
[06:50] ---
    Kazuo's mom, Mitsuru's mom,
    Tsubasa's mom, Ishizaki's mom.
[06:57] ---
    KODAMA DINER
[06:58] ---
    I wonder what my mom is like?
[07:08] ---
    The light...
[07:09] ---
    I'm home. Dad, you're here?
[07:13] ---
    Yeah, I just got home.
[07:15] ---
    Taro, have you eaten?
[07:18] ---
    Yeah, I ate at Kazuo's family's
    place again.
[07:21] ---
    How was the show?
[07:23] ---
    Oh yeah. It was a big success.
[07:26] ---
    That's great.
[07:28] ---
    I've gotta do my homework.
[07:37] ---
    Taro.
[07:38] ---
    Hm? What is it, Dad?
[07:41] ---
    Your mom came to the show today.
[07:46] ---
    Mom?
[07:47] ---
    I was surprised at first.
    I knew she had remarried five years ago.
[07:53] ---
    It's been 11 years since we split up
    and I haven't seen her since.
[07:59] ---
    But why? Why did Mom suddenly...
[08:03] ---
    Seems she saw you on TV.
[08:06] ---
    Me?
[08:07] ---
    Yeah. And she says she'd like
    to take custody of you.
[08:14] ---
    Huh... Wh-What?
[08:20] ---
    I'll take care of Taro.
[08:23] ---
    You're still young.
[08:26] ---
    You can start over.
[08:28] ---
    I'll take Taro and continue
    to create paintings no one will buy.
[08:32] ---
    Let's not meet ever again.
[08:38] ---
    And you, Dad.
[08:41] ---
    What did you say?
[08:43] ---
    Me?
[08:45] ---
    I might...
[08:47] ---
    go to France to study painting.
[08:51] ---
    France?
[08:53] ---
    The offer has been on the table, but I've
    said no because I can't take you with me.
[08:59] ---
    So, you're gonna leave me
    with Mom and go to France?
[09:02] ---
    Dad.
[09:06] ---
    Taro, you've got talent for soccer.
[09:09] ---
    Huh?
[09:10] ---
    But for you to grow that talent,
[09:13] ---
    you need to settle in one place and play.
[09:19] ---
    Dad.
[09:20] ---
    It was like that at Nankatsu.
[09:22] ---
    I wanted you to stay there and play with
    Tsubasa and the others for a long time.
[09:28] ---
    FOR MISAKI, LET'S PAIR UP
    ON THE JAPAN TEAM. TSUBASA OZORA
[09:29] ---
    But I had to bring you here
    because of my work.
[09:35] ---
    For 11 years I've taken you
    from place to place.
[09:38] ---
    You always had to say good bye
    to your friends.
[09:44] ---
    I...
[09:46] ---
    Taro, I may be here with you,
[09:49] ---
    but I'm incapable of doing anything...
    anything for you.
[09:55] ---
    Dad.
[09:58] ---
    Anything at all.
[10:05] ---
    So, after the game on Saturday,
[10:07] ---
    Dad and I are going to see Mom
    in Yokohama.
[10:08] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[10:16] ---
    BIRTH DATE APRIL 1 / HEIGHT 166 CM
    WEIGHT 55 KG / BLOOD TYPE B
[10:23] ---
    Oh, here he is.
[10:25] ---
    Misaki, we've been waiting.
[10:27] ---
    Okay, Dad, I'm off.
[10:29] ---
    Okay.
[10:30] ---
    Guys.
[10:32] ---
    This may be the last time
[10:34] ---
    I get to see Taro play in Japan.
[10:38] ---
    It's that number 11.
[10:39] ---
    If we mark that transfer student Misaki,
    then we'll win.
[10:44] ---
    Yeah!
[10:46] ---
    Sorry I'm late, guys.
[10:49] ---
    What's he doing here?
[10:52] ---
    Don't you have
    another English class to go to today?
[10:54] ---
    Yeah. But I took it off.
[10:56] ---
    I'm a member
    of the Nishimine ES soccer team too.
[11:00] ---
    He says he's a member.
[11:02] ---
    You can say that
    once you've come to practice every day.
[11:06] ---
    You may be right.
[11:08] ---
    Well, nice that you came,
    but the roster's complete.
[11:11] ---
    You can't play.
[11:13] ---
    Better get back to class
    before Mommy gets mad.
[11:17] ---
    Y-Yeah. It's okay.
    I'll cheer you guys on from the bench.
[11:26] ---
    NISHIMINE ES MATSUURA ES
[11:26] ---
    All right teams, let's go.
[11:33] ---
    Go!
[11:40] ---
    S-Stop him!
[11:43] ---
    I can't. He's too fast to mark.
[11:46] ---
    Misaki.
[11:48] ---
    Here, Kazuo.
[11:50] ---
    All right.
[11:52] ---
    Here.
[11:55] ---
    We did it.
[11:56] ---
    Nice centering, Misaki.
[11:58] ---
    NISHIMINE ES MATSUURA ES
[12:05] ---
    Misaki really is amazing.
    I wish I could be that good.
[12:12] ---
    End of the first half.
[12:14] ---
    We did it, we did it.
    We have a three-point lead.
[12:17] ---
    Misaki is amazing.
[12:20] ---
    All right, let's keep it going
    in the second half.
[12:23] ---
    Yeah!
[12:25] ---
    Hey, Kazuo.
[12:28] ---
    Let's let Mitsuru play in the second half.
[12:32] ---
    Wh-What?
[12:33] ---
    Why Mitsuru?!
    Why would we when we don't have to?
[12:36] ---
    But Mitsuru took off class for the team.
[12:40] ---
    But...
[12:42] ---
    It's been so long,
    but now we can finally win.
[12:44] ---
    I'm not switching.
[12:46] ---
    Then I'll sit out.
[12:47] ---
    Are you serious?
    If you do that, we'll lose.
[12:52] ---
    Then I'll sit out.
[12:53] ---
    What?!
[12:54] ---
    I may have sprained my ankle
    during the match.
[12:57] ---
    Yes, sitting out is a good idea.
[13:01] ---
    Okay, Mitsuru,
    you're in for Koji in the second half.
[13:04] ---
    Yes, sir.
[13:06] ---
    Say thank you to Misaki.
[13:09] ---
    Okay.
[13:10] ---
    Thank you, Misaki.
[13:12] ---
    -No problem.
    -Mitsuru!
[13:15] ---
    M-Mom.
[13:17] ---
    I knew she'd turn up.
[13:19] ---
    Back again? What are you doing?
[13:22] ---
    But...
[13:23] ---
    Players assemble, second half starts now.
[13:26] ---
    Let's go.
[13:27] ---
    Mitsuru.
[13:29] ---
    You can still make it. Go to class.
[13:33] ---
    I'll study when I get home.
    Just let me play.
[13:38] ---
    Wait, Mitsuru!
[13:40] ---
    And who are you?
[13:42] ---
    In soccer, once the match starts,
    no one is allowed on the pitch.
[13:46] ---
    But, Mitsuru is...
[13:48] ---
    It'll be fine.
[13:50] ---
    It's good to watch your son run around
    with the other kids from time to time.
[13:58] ---
    Headed your way, Mitsuru.
[14:03] ---
    Oops.
[14:04] ---
    Jeez, what are you doing, Mitsuru?
[14:08] ---
    See that? He's not cut out for athletics.
[14:12] ---
    That's why I'm cultivating his talent
    for study. That's a parent's duty.
[14:17] ---
    Certainly so. But...
[14:20] ---
    Letting a child do
    what truly makes them happy.
[14:23] ---
    Isn't that a parent's duty too?
[14:26] ---
    Look, Mitsuru's just bubbling,
    even when he's missed the ball.
[14:30] ---
    What?
[14:36] ---
    Mitsuru.
[14:38] ---
    S-Sorry, guys.
[14:40] ---
    Hang in there, Mitsuru.
    Show us what you got.
[14:42] ---
    Show your mom that you really wanna play.
[14:46] ---
    Then she'll get it, I'm sure.
[14:48] ---
    Okay.
[14:50] ---
    Here.
[14:53] ---
    Good interception.
[14:55] ---
    Mitsuru...
[14:58] ---
    Here! Oh!
[14:59] ---
    Where are you kicking?
[15:01] ---
    Nice pass, Mitsuru.
[15:03] ---
    -Huh?
    -He's fast.
[15:05] ---
    Misaki!
[15:06] ---
    Run, Mitsuru.
[15:09] ---
    Okay.
[15:11] ---
    All right, let's go, you guys.
[15:13] ---
    Yeah!
[15:14] ---
    We're in front of the goal.
[15:16] ---
    Whatever happens
    I'm going to match Mitsuru.
[15:23] ---
    Go, center it!
[15:26] ---
    Don't turn away, Mitsuru. Dive in!
[15:29] ---
    The ball is your friend.
[15:31] ---
    Okay.
[15:37] ---
    He did it!
[15:41] ---
    He did it, it's in!
[15:43] ---
    Wow, he scored.
[15:45] ---
    Way to go, Mitsuru.
[15:46] ---
    Well done.
[15:48] ---
    That was pretty amazing, Mitsuru.
[15:50] ---
    I did it, Mom. I scored a goal.
[15:54] ---
    Goodness, he did it.
[15:58] ---
    Taro...
[16:07] ---
    Taro. You're really too good for me.
[16:12] ---
    You're kind and thoughtful.
[16:15] ---
    You're so considerate. You haven't
    even asked me about your mother.
[16:20] ---
    You must've wanted to meet her so bad.
[16:23] ---
    But you'll be happy from now on.
[16:28] ---
    You can play soccer
    without having to move place to place.
[16:30] ---
    And no more good byes to your friends.
[16:47] ---
    What's wrong? Tired?
[16:50] ---
    No, I'm fine.
[16:52] ---
    I think we go a little further
    up this hill, then we're there.
[16:56] ---
    Okay.
[17:00] ---
    YAMAOKA
[17:03] ---
    Here it is.
[17:04] ---
    Yamaoka.
[17:06] ---
    YAMAOKA
    SEIJI YUMIKO YOSHIKO
[17:06] ---
    Yoshiko is the child she has
    with her current husband.
[17:10] ---
    So, your sister.
[17:12] ---
    Huh, oh yeah.
[17:22] ---
    Yoshiko, be a good girl.
[17:25] ---
    We're having company today.
[17:32] ---
    She... She's exactly how I imagined.
[17:38] ---
    Okay, Taro.
[17:44] ---
    Let's go, Dad.
[17:47] ---
    Huh?
[17:48] ---
    It's okay, let's go.
    I'll go to France too.
[17:53] ---
    Taro?
[17:55] ---
    Because... Because, I'm Taro Misaki.
[18:00] ---
    I'm not Taro Yamaoka.
[18:04] ---
    I'm Taro Misaki.
[18:06] ---
    You...
[18:09] ---
    You want to come with me, Taro?
[18:15] ---
    Yeah.
[18:17] ---
    That summer, I moved to France
    and three years later...
[18:25] ---
    Tsubasa!
[18:28] ---
    I'll be standing on the same pitch
    with Tsubasa again.
[18:34] ---
    The opening ceremony for the International
    Junior Youth Tournament
[18:37] ---
    in France has concluded,
[18:38] ---
    and it's Japan against Italy
    in the opening game.
[18:43] ---
    Japan versus Italy. Italy's going to win.
[18:47] ---
    They have a tight defense,
    and Japan doesn't stand a chance.
[18:50] ---
    What did you say?
[18:53] ---
    How dare you disrespect Team Japan?
[18:55] ---
    Their player Misaki is better
    than any soccer player in France.
[19:00] ---
    H-Hey, Azumi.
[19:02] ---
    That's right.
[19:04] ---
    Misaki is an amazing player.
    He went head-to-head with Pierre.
[19:10] ---
    You mean, the Pierre?
[19:12] ---
    Who are you?
[19:13] ---
    We're Misaki's soccer buddies.
[19:16] ---
    We're rooting for France and Japan
    this tournament.
[19:20] ---
    Really? Thank you.
[19:22] ---
    Taro, you have great friends
    wherever you go.
[19:28] ---
    I see, you've decided.
[19:30] ---
    Yeah. I'll play with Team Japan.
[19:33] ---
    I decided instead of being afraid of
    failure and regretting not going for it,
[19:37] ---
    it'd be better to try, and if I fail,
    then I can regret it later.
[19:40] ---
    Taro.
[19:42] ---
    It may've been three years
    since I played with the guys,
[19:45] ---
    but I'll give it my all
    the only way I know how.
[19:49] ---
    Better to regret action
    than to regret inaction.
[19:59] ---
    Are you sure you want me?
[20:01] ---
    It's not from me. It came from Matsuyama.
[20:05] ---
    Tsubasa, you're the only guy
    to captain Team Japan.
[20:09] ---
    Matsuyama.
[20:11] ---
    In the second half of the European tour,
[20:13] ---
    you're the one
    who pulled the team together.
[20:17] ---
    Everyone knows that.
[20:19] ---
    It's okay, Tsubasa. Matsuyama says so.
[20:23] ---
    No one is going to object.
[20:26] ---
    Guys...
[20:27] ---
    Then I'll do it.
[20:33] ---
    See, the captain armband
    looks good on you, Tsubasa.
[20:36] ---
    Sure does.
[20:38] ---
    And one more thing.
[20:42] ---
    Misugi?
[20:44] ---
    He's been on the team as a coach,
[20:47] ---
    but I've enrolled him
    as a player for this tournament.
[20:49] ---
    Hi, guys.
[20:52] ---
    Misugi.
[20:53] ---
    Yeah, Misugi.
[20:55] ---
    Team Japan just got even better.
[20:59] ---
    Now for the roster
    for our match against Italy.
[21:05] ---
    Nitta and Hyuga, you're forwards.
[21:07] ---
    Yes, sir.

    in midfield.
[21:12] ---
    Yes, sir.
[21:13] ---
    Matsuyama, Ishizaki, Soda, Jito,
    defenders.
[21:17] ---
    Yes, sir.
[21:18] ---
    Wakashimazu, you're goalie.
[21:20] ---
    Huh? Y-Yes, sir.
[21:24] ---
    I'm trusting you
    with Japan's goal, Wakashimazu.
[21:27] ---
    Wakabayashi.
[21:30] ---
    -Misaki.
    -Yes, sir.
[21:32] ---
    You haven't seen this team play yet.
[21:36] ---
    I want you observing for the first half.
[21:39] ---
    If there's an opportunity
    in the second half, you'll go in.
[21:42] ---
    Yes, sir.
[21:43] ---
    As our selected members
[21:45] ---
    and as representatives
    for all the soccer players in Japan,
[21:49] ---
    we're counting on you,
    the starting lineup.
[21:52] ---
    Wakabayashi.
[21:53] ---
    -That's right.
    -Go for it.
[21:55] ---
    -We're counting on you.
    -Leave it to us.
[21:58] ---
    Let's go, guys.
