[00:00] tsu
    Hey, have you heard?
[00:02] tsu
    In order to avoid people,
    Aoyama basically never takes the train.
[00:06] sak
    Really? That sounds like Aoyama.
[00:09] sak
    He'll have a rough time making it to
    our game against Takada Academy tomorrow.
[00:16] yos
    What's up?
[00:18] tsu
    Isn't that Aoyama?
[00:21] yos
    You're right.
[00:28] kan
    I may be able to give Aoyama
    a reason not to show up.

SIGN    The Reason Aoyama-kun Isn't Here
[02:05] all
    Mr. Zaizen! Thank you for treating us!
[02:08] zai
    I never said it was my treat.
[02:10] sak
    It's our tradition to eat at a family
    restaurant the day before a match!
[02:15] zai
    Stop making up traditions.
    I only treated you one time.
[02:18] sak
    You can't go into battle on an empty stomach!
[02:21] sak
    We want to win tomorrow, right?
    Right, Aoyama?
[02:28] aoy
    I'm going home.
[02:30] sak
    Why? He's treating us!
[02:32] zai
    I just told you I didn't say that.
[02:33] sak
    Look! It's the next head of
    the Zaizen family over here!
[02:36] tsu
    Aoyama, let's do some killer mixing
    at the drink bar and start a revolution!
[02:40] aoy
    I'd rather get home quickly
    and take a shower.
[02:46] sak
    Looks like nature's providing you
    with one right now.
[02:51] wom
    Welcome.
[02:53] wom
    Can I take your order?
[02:56] zai
    This is some guerrilla downpour...
[02:57] tsu
    We'll all start with the drink bar.
[02:59] wait
    It's right over there.
[03:16] zai
    So that's out, too?
[03:23] yos
    That looks gross. What's with that color?
[03:26] tsu
    It's cola plus melon soda.
    It might look bad, but it's the best!
[03:29] tsu
    I dipped a teabag in there as well.
[03:32] sak
    Well, let's prepare ourselves for making it
    through the preliminaries tomorrow—
[03:36] tak
    Unacceptable.
[03:39] tak
    It's beyond belief that Aoyama's
    playing for such a worthless team.
[03:43] tak
    It's like giving a national
    cultural treasure to toddlers.
[03:48] sak
    You're that perverted forward from
    Oshigami-Minami, Takechi Akira!
[03:52] tak
    Ah, it's the worthless soccer team
    from Fujimi High School.
[03:55] zai
    Who are you calling a worthless team?!
[03:58] tak
    Aoyama!
[04:02] tak
    Fancy running into you here.
    What a coincidence.
[04:04] zai
    Stop it with the ab flexing!
[04:06] zai
    People call you a pervert because
    you do that no matter where you are!
[04:10] zai
    And coincidence? Puh-lease. You always
    come and watch our practice sessions.
[04:14] tak
    Why would I lower myself to
    watching a bunch of amateurs train?
[04:19] zai
    You may think those sunglasses in
    your pocket are an adequate disguise,
[04:23] zai
    but they're conspicuous as hell!
[04:25] tak
    Well, if the cat's out of the bag—
[04:27] zai
    You're not even trying to keep it there!
[04:28] tak
    So you're up against
    Takada Academy tomorrow?
[04:32] tak
    If we fielded our starting eleven
    against them, we'd win at least five-nil.
[04:37] tak
    And if we had Aoyama,
[04:40] tak
    even the lowest estimate
    would see us scoring ten goals.
[04:46] tsu
    So what?
[04:47] yos
    Hypothetical scenarios are so pointless.
[04:50] yos
    Let's eat.
[04:51] sak
    No matter what you say,
    Aoyama's on our team.
[04:55] sak
    Go home, go home.
[04:56] tak
    This is why you're all worthless!
    You're not getting my point!
[05:00] ---
    I'm saying you aren't fit
    to be Aoyama's teammates!
[05:04] zai
    Shut up! There are other customers in here!
[05:06] zai
    Stop shouting!
[05:07] girl
    What's going on?
[05:08] girl
    A fight? That's so lame.
[05:10] tac
    Takechi-san, please calm down!
[05:13] wai
    I can take your order now.
[05:19] yos
    It's finally here!
[05:21] yos
    Thank you for the food!
[05:24] zai
    Hey, Aoyama, you're not going to eat?
[05:28] yos
    This jumbo Hamburg steak is addictive!
    You should order it.
[05:32] wait
    Here's your jumbo Hamburg steak.
[05:38] tak
    You guys know nothing about Aoyama.
[05:42] zai
    What?
[05:43] tak
    Aoyama never eats out.
[05:45] tak
    He only eats nutritionally balanced
    meals he's prepared himself.
[05:51] tak
    He does that so he can stay in
    perfect shape as an athlete.
[05:54] tak
    He's not like you slobs,
[05:57] tak
    who pay no regard to your prelim match
    tomorrow and eat with reckless abandon.
[06:06] zai
    I think his germaphobia just prevents him
    from eating food someone else has made.
[06:10] tak
    So, Aoyama, I will take care
    of this thing for you.
[06:16] yos
    Now wait just one minute...
[06:18] yos
    That's actually my job.
[06:21] tak
    You already have the same dish
    in front of you!
[06:24] tos
    This? It'll be gone in three seconds flat!
[06:30] tos
    Now, gimme that Hamb—
[06:33] tos
    You already finished it?!
[06:38] sak
    That pervert keeps provoking us!
[06:45] wai
    Your cheese-filled Hamburg steak.
[06:47] tak
    Huh? I didn't order that.
[06:50] wai
    The gentlemen over there
    ordered it for you.
[06:52] sak
    Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[06:56] yos
    I don't think you can beat me for speed.
[06:59] tak
    You schmuck. You dare to challenge me?
[07:03] tak
    All right, then!
[07:06] tsu
    It's a dead heat!
[07:08] sak
    The next battle is over the Japanese-style
    radish-topped Hamburg steak!
[07:11] yos
    Huh? Another Hamburg steak?
[07:13] zai
    How long is this rainstorm going to last?
[07:17] zai
    And how long will this
    speed-eating contest go on for?
[07:19] zai
    I guess at this point,
    they're competing over who can eat more.
[07:22] saK
    Wow, only five more dishes and they
    will have conquered the whole menu!
[07:26] tsu
    In that case,
    the one who eats it all first wins.
[07:29] tach
    Takechi-san, let's call it quits!
    This is such a silly fight.
[07:32] tak
    Tachibana, there are fights
    you can't afford to lose.
SIGN    There are fights you
     can't afford to lose
[07:37] tak
    Even if it wasn't our regular eleven,
    we lost the training match against them.
SIGN    We lost

    Losing against the same opponent twice?
[07:48] tak
    My pride won't allow it!

[07:51] tac
    No, wait. This has nothing to do with soccer!
SIGN    This has nothing to do with soccer
[07:58] tsu
    They're finally on the last dish!
    It's everyone's favorite: curry and rice!
[08:02] sak
    And now both contestants' hands
    have stopped in midair!
[08:05] tak
    To be honest, my stomach went
    way past capacity a long time ago.
[08:09] tak
    I feel like it can't even
    take another grain of rice.
[08:12] tak
    But you know what?
[08:14] tak
    Watch me, Aoyama!
[08:16] tak
    I am better than these scrubs
    in every regard!
[08:21] sak
    Takechi's powering through
    to the home stretch!
[08:27] tak
    You and I... We met in middle school,
    at the training match for the Tokyo try-outs.
[08:35] tak
    I still remember the pass you made to me
    in the youth internationals.
[08:39] tak
    It was the kind of pass
    that guides you to the goal.
[08:43] tak
    I can't forget how it felt.
[08:51] tak
    No matter who they are, any forward
    who receives a pass like that
[08:55] tak
    will want to receive it again.
[09:00] tak
    That's why I've tried everything
    I can to persuade him.
[09:04] tak
    I wanted to conquer all of Japan with you.
[09:07] saK
    The last bite!
[09:09] titl
    Pass the ball to me like that once more!
[09:12] saK
    Aoyama!

    "Seasonal dish: the mega-sized
     strawberry parfait?"
[09:20] aot
    Takechi-san, this is the last item.
[09:22] tak
    You perfectionist.
[09:25] wai
    This... is our mega-sized
    strawberry parfait.
[09:31] tak
    Aoyama, that was one hell of a killer pass.
[09:35] tac
    Takechi-san!
[09:37] tsu
    Hang in there, Takechi! I've brought
    my special hyper-mixed drink for you!
[09:42] yos
    Dessert goes into a different stomach.
[09:44] sak
    Looks like we win again.

[19:35] ori
    I thought...
[19:36] ori
    you couldn't move.
[19:40] all
    Wow, he controlled that piledriver
    on his chest!
[19:43] all
    And now, he's counterattacking!
[19:46] guy
    I'll make you go flying again!
[19:48] guy
    Wha—
[19:50] cam
    This is a complete departure from his
    earlier finesse. He's going in hard!
[19:54] zai
    He came back out of his shell.
[19:56] cap
    Yeah.
[19:58] miw
    Aoyama hates losing more than dying.
[20:01] miw
    When he reaches the last five minutes...
[20:03] ori
    Stop, you little turd!
[20:07] miw
    the shackles of his germaphobia...
[20:14] miw
    can no longer keep him down!
[20:24] cam
    He scores! All by himself!
    A lightning counterattack!
[20:29] cam2
    3-2! Fujimi High School pulls ahead!
[20:33] ori
    What is it with you?!
[20:34] ori
    I thought you hated getting dirty!
[20:37] aoy
    I hate dirty things.
[20:41] aoy
    Chief among them...
[20:43] aoy
    Dirty cheats.
[20:48] aoy
    So I'm going to crush you
    with everything I've got.
[20:56] tak
    Unacceptable.
[20:57] tak
    Aoyama's a monster in the youth division
    who's never lost, not even once.
[21:09] cam
    Time's up! In the end, Fujimi wins 5-2!
[21:11] all
    We did it, we did it!
[21:17] zai
    Yeah!
[21:21] all
    Aoyama!
[21:25] zai
    Learn your lesson already, guys.
[21:31] guy
    What is this?
[21:34] guy
    Why is the clubhouse so clean?
[21:36] ori
    So Aoyama wasn't locked in here,
    but stayed back to clean?!
[21:40] girl
    Aoyama-kun!
[21:48] tsu
    Thank you! Thank you!
[21:50] kan
    Aoyama-kun! You're so cool!
[21:54] ori
    Kana!
[23:31] nar
    You're a germaphobe,
    but you're on a sports team.
[23:34] nar
    That's hard to fathom, Aoyama.
