[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.

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.
[21:08] ---
Tsubasa, Sawada, Tachibana brothers
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.
[22:00] ---
To make it past prelims,
[22:02] ---
let's make it happen against Italy today.
[22:05] ---
Yeah!
[23:47] ---
