[00:03] ---
    Now for our roster
    for our match against Italy.
[00:09] ---
    Nitta and Hyuga, you're forwards.
[00:11] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:12] ---
    Tsubasa, Sawada, Tachibana brothers
    in midfield.
[00:16] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:17] ---
    Matsuyama, Ishizaki, Soda, Jito,
    defenders.
[00:21] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:22] ---
    Wakashimazu, you're goalie.
[00:24] ---
    Huh? Y-Yes, sir.
[00:28] ---
    I'm trusting you
    with Japan's goal, Wakashimazu.
[00:31] ---
    Wakabayashi.
[00:34] ---
    -Misaki.
    -Yes, sir.
[00:36] ---
    You haven't seen this team play yet.
[00:40] ---
    I want you observing for the first half.
[00:43] ---
    If there's an opportunity
    in the second half, then you'll go in.
[00:45] ---
    Yes, sir.
[00:47] ---
    Let's go, guys.
[00:49] ---
    To make it past prelims,
[00:51] ---
    let's make it happen against Italy today.
[00:54] ---
    Yeah!
[01:05] ---

    EPISODE 9
    A GREAT JOURNEY
[02:29] ---
    The Japanese and Italian teams
    enter the pitch to a sea of cheering fans.
[02:35] ---
    -Italy!
    -Yay!
[02:37] ---
    -Go!
    -Italy!
[02:40] ---
    This is the opening match,
    Japan vs. Italy.
[02:43] ---
    Participating players
    from around the world
[02:45] ---
    are also eagerly watching from the stands.
[02:48] ---
    Go, Japan!
[02:50] ---
    Go, Misaki!
[02:53] ---
    Italy Junior Youth refused to play
[02:55] ---
    that practice match against us,
    saying we were a waste of time.
[02:59] ---
    They'll regret they ever said that.
[03:03] ---
    What are they looking at?
[03:08] ---
    It's Tsubasa.
[03:10] ---
    They're staring at Tsubasa.
[03:14] ---
    I let you get by that time.
[03:17] ---
    This is the real deal.
[03:19] ---
    It won't be as easy this time around.
[03:21] ---
    I swear on my reputation
    as Europe's number one goalie,
[03:24] ---
    I'll put an end to your Drive Shot.
[03:28] ---
    Team Italy's different now.
[03:32] ---
    Is it because that was a practice match
    and today's official?
[03:34] ---
    I can feel the tension in my bones.
[03:38] ---
    I know they'll come out stronger
    than they did against Bremen.
[03:44] ---
    Watch out Tsubasa,
    they'll mark you this match.
[03:50] ---
    Wait, Misaki's not playing?
[03:53] ---
    No way.
[03:54] ---
    Wakabayashi is not in the starting roster.
[03:58] ---
    The goalie is not our Wakabayashi?
[04:02] ---
    It's time.
[04:04] ---
    It finally begins.
[04:07] ---
    Three years ago,
    their skills and styles shocked everyone.
[04:12] ---
    This generation of talented players
    like Tsubasa Ozora...
[04:21] ---
    JAPAN TEAM FORMATION
[04:21] ---
    With a little more time and practice,
[04:23] ---
    they'll lead Japan
    to the top of the soccer world.
[04:27] ---
    This match will be the first step
    toward that incredible dream.
[04:32] ---
    It'll be a grand journey.
[04:36] ---
    Japan Junior Youth vs
    Italy Junior Youth, kick off!
[04:37] ---
    JAPAN VS ITALY
[04:41] ---
    The match starts
    with the Italians in possession.
[04:45] ---
    Let's go, Nitta.
[04:47] ---
    All right.
[04:48] ---
    Let's see just how Japan
    handles the Italians
[04:51] ---
    and their long-held tradition
    of European soccer!
[04:54] ---
    Is Japan okay without Misaki?
[04:58] ---
    I thought they could play a good match,
[05:01] ---
    but only with Wakabayashi
    and that number 10.
[05:05] ---
    The Italians with some quick pass work.
[05:07] ---
    Team Italy
    controls the ball midfield and
[05:10] ---
    Go!
[05:11] ---
    ...puts the ball in the open space
    to the right where the sides run for it.
[05:16] ---
    I've learned something
    from our European tour.
[05:20] ---
    It's that the accuracy of their passes
[05:24] ---
    and the speed of their play is unlike
    anything we've faced in Japan.
[05:30] ---
    But we've also
    gradually gotten used to their moves.
[05:35] ---
    You think you can beat us?
[05:38] ---
    Don't let him center it.
[05:40] ---
    All right.
[05:41] ---
    Oh no!
[05:43] ---
    A good fake out.
    He evades, then centers it.
[05:47] ---
    They may've adapted
    to the European playing style,
[05:51] ---
    but this is Italy Junior Youth.
[05:55] ---
    Each one has been selected
    from all over Italy,
[06:00] ---
    and they're surprisingly
    formidable opponents.
[06:05] ---
    Mine!
[06:07] ---
    Tardelli, the tall forward,
    heads the ball.
[06:13] ---
    Have the Italians scored
    the first goal already?
[06:17] ---
    Perfect timing.
[06:19] ---
    Go!
[06:24] ---
    He stops it!
[06:26] ---
    What?
[06:27] ---
    No way!
[06:28] ---
    Wakashimazu the goalie,
    grabs it in a diving catch.
[06:31] ---
    Nice one, Wakashimazu.
[06:33] ---
    Wakashimazu.
[06:35] ---
    Of course I could stop the shot.
[06:39] ---
    He's not bad.
[06:42] ---
    Okay, guys, counter! Here, Tsubasa.
[06:47] ---
    Ball goes to Tsubasa.
[06:50] ---
    Okay.
[06:51] ---
    Time for a Japanese counter attack.
[06:54] ---
    But the Italians
    are running their hearts out.
[06:57] ---
    Crush him!
[06:58] ---
    I'm gonna stop ya.
[07:00] ---
    Tsubasa meets the Italian charge head-on.
[07:06] ---
    Tsubasa Ozora, captain of Team Japan!
[07:09] ---
    He takes on blue lightning Italy,
[07:15] ---
    the proud successors
    of European soccer tradition.
[07:18] ---
    Guys, keep your eyes
    on number 10 and his movements.
[07:22] ---
    That number 10 wasn't there
    the last time we saw Japan play.
[07:26] ---
    He's the one coach was talking about.
[07:34] ---
    He's getting by them. First one, then two,
    with dazzling fake outs
[07:38] ---
    and skilled foot work,
    Tsubasa gets past Team Italy.
[07:41] ---
    Tsubasa!
[07:43] ---
    Wh-Who is that guy?
[07:46] ---
    So Japan has Misaki and this amazing guy?
[07:49] ---
    Who is that?
[07:51] ---
    Tsubasa.
[07:56] ---
    Tsubasa, watch out!
[07:58] ---
    I'm marking him.
[08:00] ---
    All right.
[08:01] ---
    Italy charges hard with two players.
[08:06] ---
    Foul, that's a foul!
[08:10] ---
    Tsubasa!
[08:11] ---
    Tsubasa's been injured
    and only just joined this tour.
[08:16] ---
    This doesn't look good.
[08:18] ---
    Are you all right, Tsubasa?
[08:21] ---
    Hey...
[08:24] ---
    Yeah, I'm okay.
[08:26] ---
    They know Tsubasa's a dribbling master,
[08:31] ---
    so they'll foul him
    to stop him if they have to.
[08:34] ---
    Yeah.
[08:35] ---
    Tsubasa's able to stand. He seems okay.
[08:42] ---
    Without Tsubasa,
    a top-tier finish is out of the question.
[08:48] ---
    Italy will continue to fight to stop you.
[08:53] ---
    Don't stop fighting, Tsubasa.
[08:56] ---
    People will always try to get you
    when you're the best.
[09:07] ---
    And we're back.
[09:10] ---
    Team Japan once again
    sends the ball to Tsubasa.
[09:14] ---
    He is their one and only playmaker.
[09:17] ---
    All right, let's pulverize him.
[09:29] ---
    Oh, another foul!
[09:34] ---
    Tsubasa is unable to make his plays.
[09:37] ---
    Jeez, these guys are going
    to just keep going after Tsubasa.
[09:44] ---
    It's play time.
[09:47] ---
    Maybe instead of Tsubasa...
[09:51] ---
    Here, give me the ball.
[09:53] ---
    Tsubasa!
[09:54] ---
    Here, Tsubasa.
[09:56] ---
    Hyuga!
[09:57] ---
    Hyuga.
[09:58] ---
    Hyuga takes his team's ball
    and passes to Tsubasa.
[10:01] ---
    Here I come, Italian Junior Youth.
[10:04] ---
    Come on and tackle me. Bring it!
[10:07] ---
    I'm not going to lose.
    I'll get by every single one of you.
[10:08] ---
    CAPTAIN TSUBASA:
    JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
[10:12] ---
    
[10:15] ---
    BIRTH DATE OCTOBER 6 / HEIGHT 163 CM
    WEIGHT 53 KG / BLOOD TYPE B
[10:25] ---
    H-He's...
[10:26] ---
    Tsubasa rushes headlong
    into the danger zone
[10:29] ---
    where the Italian players await.
[10:34] ---
    Tsubasa, you stubborn bastard.
[10:37] ---
    That's some good fighting spirit.
[10:39] ---
    I see why Wakabayashi
    is always going on about him.
[10:47] ---
    Oh, this time he passes.
[10:49] ---
    He brushes it to the left
    and receives a one-two from Sawada.
[10:53] ---
    Not only can he dribble,
    but he has great judgement for passing.
[11:02] ---
    Oh, the second he trapped the ball,
    he's tackled from behind.
[11:08] ---
    That's already a third foul by Italy.
[11:10] ---
    And they're all against Tsubasa.
[11:14] ---
    Tsubasa!
[11:15] ---
    The referee certainly seems
    to be giving Team Italy a talking-to.
[11:19] ---
    That's enough, jerks.
[11:22] ---
    Tsubasa.
[11:24] ---
    Hey, guys, this is our chance.
[11:28] ---
    I can shoot directly
    for the goal from here.
[11:31] ---
    I get it. You can aim for the goal
    from here with your Drive Shot.
[11:36] ---
    Wow, you've thought this through.
[11:39] ---
    Yeah, but they know
    about Tsubasa's Drive Shot.
[11:44] ---
    Oh yeah.
[11:46] ---
    That's why, Matsuyama...
[11:51] ---
    Now Japan gets a free kick
    in front of Italy's goal.
[11:56] ---
    And Italy builds its wall.
[11:59] ---
    That shot we saw the other day, he'll
    definitely use that to try and score.
[12:04] ---
    Yeah.
[12:05] ---
    Tsubasa takes the free kick.
[12:07] ---
    Will Team Japan
    bet on Tsubasa's Drive Shot?
[12:11] ---
    They may've built a wall,
    but the Drive Shot can clear it to score.
[12:17] ---
    But the goalie for Italy Junior Youth
[12:20] ---
    is Zino Hernandez,
    known as the best goalie in all of Europe.
[12:25] ---
    Will Japan be able to score
    against his record?
[12:37] ---
    Jump!
[12:42] ---
    Tsubasa doesn't kick!
[12:44] ---
    What?
[12:45] ---
    It's Matsuyama from behind who kicks.
[12:48] ---
    All right.
[12:49] ---
    Got it.
[12:59] ---
    Shooting through an opening in the wall,
    it's the ground-hugging Eagle Shot.
[13:04] ---
    We did it, the plan worked.
[13:14] ---
    Oh, he stopped it!
[13:18] ---
    What?!
[13:22] ---
    He one-handed
    Matsuyama's powerful Eagle Shot.
[13:27] ---
    Wh-What reflexes, what grip strength!
[13:32] ---
    Yes! Good one, Zino.
[13:34] ---
    There you have it, Zino Hernandez,
    number one goalie in Europe.
[13:40] ---
    He returns it immediately
    to his team mates.
[13:42] ---
    Now comes Italy's counteroffensive.
[13:46] ---
    Oh no, go back!
[13:48] ---
    No, the ball goes to Tsubasa.
[13:53] ---
    What?
[13:59] ---
    Come at me.
[14:01] ---
    The goalie, he did this on purpose.
[14:04] ---
    Is he telling me to take my Drive Shot?
[14:07] ---
    Come on, bring me your Drive Shot.
[14:12] ---
    All right, I'll do it.
[14:14] ---
    Tsubasa.
[14:16] ---
    I'll give you...
[14:18] ---
    my Drive Shot!
[14:22] ---
    Stop it...
[14:24] ---
    if you can!
[14:28] ---
    It's the Drive Shot!
[14:30] ---
    Tsubasa!
[14:31] ---
    All right, it's gone.
[14:33] ---
    We score the first point.
[14:34] ---
    Tsubasa's Drive Shot!
[14:37] ---
    Forming a rainbow arc,
    it's headed straight for the Italian goal.
[14:41] ---
    What kind of shot is that?
[14:44] ---
    Zino!
[14:45] ---
    It's that shot!
[14:49] ---
    That goalie anticipated Tsubasa's
    Drive Shot and positioned himself...
[14:57] ---
    just at the edge of the goal line,
    like Wakashimazu.
[14:59] ---
    And as the Drive Shot
    lengthens as it falls, he timed it so...
[15:12] ---
    Oh and it's a one-handed catch!
[15:15] ---
    Wh-What?
[15:18] ---
    Just like the Eagle Shot,
    he stopped it with one hand.
[15:23] ---
    The Drive Shot is still alive!
[15:27] ---
    Will it take the goalie with it and score?
[15:30] ---
    Oh, Zino!
[15:31] ---
    All right, keep going.
[15:34] ---
    Get in there!
[15:39] ---
    He adds his left hand
    and manages to stop it!
[15:43] ---
    What?
[15:44] ---
    Zino.
[15:48] ---
    H-He stopped it!
    No goal! It didn't go over the goal line.
[15:59] ---
    And the crowd gives a hearty applause
    for both plays.
[16:05] ---
    The shot from Japan's number 10
    was great but...
[16:08] ---
    The Italian goalie Zino Hernandez
    is amazing.
[16:13] ---
    That's a great save right there.
[16:17] ---
    Nice, Zino.
[16:18] ---
    Only you.
[16:26] ---
    Even I couldn't stop Tsubasa's Drive Shot.
[16:30] ---
    Tsubasa's Drive Shot is a no-go against
    Zino Hernandez, Europe's best goalie.
[16:38] ---
    Get it now?
[16:40] ---
    There's no chance in this match
    you'll ever break the Italian defense.
[16:46] ---
    Damn it,
    I'm the number one goalie in Europe.
[16:51] ---
    To make the team stronger,
    Genzo sacrificed himself
[16:54] ---
    and threw away his opportunity
    to play in this tournament.
[16:58] ---
    Yet he's still an athlete
    who lives to stand on the pitch.
[17:11] ---
    Ts-Tsubasa.
[17:13] ---
    Amazing. This is the power
    of the true home of soccer.
[17:21] ---
    But I haven't lost yet.
[17:24] ---
    I've got more than my Drive Shot.
[17:31] ---
    Tsubasa.
[17:36] ---
    Roberto taught me the Drive Shot.
[17:39] ---
    It's just one technique of many.
[17:42] ---
    And the stronger the opponent,
    the more fired up I get.
[17:47] ---
    All right, guys. We go from here.
[17:49] ---
    Yeah.
[17:51] ---
    Yes, this is what Tsubasa's
    been waiting for.
[17:55] ---
    An unbelievably powerful opponent.
[17:59] ---
    For Tsubasa to get to the next stage,
    this formidable rival
[18:04] ---
    is exactly what he needs right now.
[18:08] ---
    I'll put the ball in the goal next time,
    Hernandez.
[18:13] ---
    His first opponent is Zino Hernandez.
[18:17] ---
    It's been a while since Tsubasa
    has faced someone that good.
[18:20] ---
    Okay, time for Italy Junior Youth
    to fight back.
[18:24] ---
    Yeah!
[18:26] ---
    Guys, let's get back.
[18:28] ---
    All right.
[18:36] ---
    He must be...
[18:39] ---
    The match resumes
    and the Italians have control.
[18:42] ---
    Some quick passing
    by the Italian midfield.
[18:46] ---
    Can Team Japan keep up?
[18:54] ---
    What?
[18:55] ---
    And they can! Tsubasa intercepts.
[19:00] ---
    It's number 10 again.
[19:03] ---
    All right, here I come.
[19:06] ---
    Japan's very own soccer genius,
    Tsubasa Ozora.
[19:08] ---
    He was born to play.
[19:10] ---
    Not to mention his playing
    is effective against the Europeans.
[19:14] ---
    Nice, Tsubasa.
[19:16] ---
    He really is amazing, that guy.
[19:19] ---
    Yeah.
[19:20] ---
    Having his Drive Shot stopped doesn't seem
    to have slowed him down at all.
[19:24] ---
    In fact he seems to relish
    having a strong opponent
[19:28] ---
    and is rushing towards the Italian goal.
[19:31] ---
    I'm coming, Zino Hernandez.
[19:34] ---
    All right, let's go Tsubasa.
[19:36] ---
    Hyuga.
[19:37] ---
    Tsubasa's dribble
    is supported on the side by Hyuga.
[19:43] ---
    Two long-time rivals in Japan,
    Tsubasa and Hyuga,
[19:48] ---
    now go after the Italian goal
    with a combination play.
[19:52] ---
    Will they score the first goal?
[19:54] ---
    Tsubasa, and Kojiro joined him.
[19:57] ---
    All right, go! Tsubasa! Hyuga!
[20:00] ---
    Go!
[20:02] ---
    Italy goes in for an early charge.
[20:05] ---
    Stop him!
[20:07] ---
    Tsubasa passes to Hyuga
    who is running beside him.
[20:12] ---
    What?
[20:13] ---
    Oh, he doesn't pass.
[20:16] ---
    He faked a pass
    and just dribbled his way through.
[20:19] ---
    Nice, Tsubasa.
[20:21] ---
    Hyuga follows Tsubasa and runs behind.
[20:26] ---
    Don't let him do what he wants.
    Grind him down.
[20:30] ---
    Tsubasa breaks through again.
    He skillfully moves the ball
[20:34] ---
    and throws the Italian players
    into confusion.
[20:36] ---
    Is he not thinking of passing
    to Hyuga at all?
[20:41] ---
    Th-That's...
[20:43] ---
    Tsubasa is already at the Italian goal.
[20:51] ---
    Oh, and there's the pass. A very
    clever pass to Hyuga in front of the goal.
[20:56] ---
    Oh no!
[20:57] ---
    Nice pass, Tsubasa.
[21:00] ---
    Hyuga with no mark
    in front of the Italian goal.
[21:03] ---
    All right, it's mine.
[21:06] ---
    Non-Trap Shot!
[21:09] ---
    Go!
[21:21] ---
    What?
[21:23] ---
    Oh, no! Hernandez grabs hold hard.
[21:34] ---
    The goalie Hernandez has had
    many stellar plays already today.
[21:39] ---
    He read Tsubasa's pass,
[21:40] ---
    then ran and blocked Hyuga's path.
[21:46] ---
    Team Japan has created opportunities
    but none have come to fruition.
[21:52] ---
    Damn, he defends perfectly.
[21:56] ---
    He totally read my pass.
