**[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.

**[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
**[07:45] tak**
Losing against the same opponent twice?
**[07:48] tak**
My pride won't allow it!
***SIGN*** 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!
**[09:15] saK**
"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.
**[09:49] aoy**
The rain's stopped, so I'm going home.
**[09:53] girl**
So this place we went to last time
with Kana was *so* delicious.
**[09:57] girl**
Let's go there together.
**[09:59] gi2**
Yeah, I want to go!

Where's that oddball got to?

Where did he go?!

Calm down, Zaizen.
He was here just a moment ago.
**[10:14] cap**
He'll be back.
**[10:15] sak**
Yeah, cool your jets.
**[10:18] zai**
You guys are way too relaxed about this!
**[10:20] zai**
The important first match of
the Inter-High preliminaries is today!
**[10:23] zai**
Dammit, don't you know this already, Aoyama?!
**[10:31] aoy**
All right.
**[10:35] kan**
What a drag.
**[10:37] kan**
Why on earth must they insist on
playing matches at our school?
**[10:40] kan**
It just creates more work.
**[10:48] kan**
Hey, you!
**[10:50] kan**
Why are you washing the bottle I just washed?
**[10:54] aoy**
Well...
**[10:55] kan**
"Well"?
**[10:57] aoy**
Because it's dirty.
**[11:02] kan**
Then why don't you come and help me?
**[11:06] ori**
All right! Are you done warming up?
**[11:09] all**
Yessir!
**[11:10] guy**
But, Orihara-san,
this Fujimi High we're up against
**[11:13] guy**
has that Aoyama dude playing for them.
**[11:15] ori**
So what?
**[11:22] kan**
It's not like I do this because I want to.
**[11:26] kan**
My boyfriend happens to be
the captain of the team, so...
**[11:29] kan**
Gross! What have they been doing in here?
**[11:32] kan**
Oh, please put that box
on the shelf at the back.
**[11:35] kan**
My boyfriend's a punk,
but he actually cares about soccer.
**[11:40] kan**
He told me that today's opponent
in the prelims are a real threat.
**[11:45] kan**
His name...
**[11:48] aoy**
Why have you locked the door?
**[11:51] kan**
Aoyama from Fujimi High School.
**[11:54] kan**
You won't be getting out of here.
**[11:57] kan**
Not until the match is over, anyway.

**[12:10] cam1**
This is a surprisingly big crowd
for a subdivision preliminary.
**[12:13] cam2**
It's because Fujimi High School
has that Aoyama kid.
**[12:17] cam2**
They're probably all here for him.
**[12:19] cam1**
I see. He's just that popular, huh?
**[12:22] cam2**
This is weird, though.
I don't see him anywhere.
**[12:29] tsu**
Aoyama isn't coming.
**[12:30] zai**
I'm seriously going to murder him!
**[12:33] cap**
The match is starting.
**[12:35] sak**
Let's keep this huddle going
just a little bit longer.
**[12:39] mok**
I can't find Aoyama-kun anywhere!
**[12:41] miw**
Seriously?! What's that
chronically late fool playing at?
**[12:44] mok**
I-I'll go look again!
**[12:47] miw**
*Aoyama going AWOL is an issue,*
**[12:49] miw**

**[12:53] miw**
* It's not like Takada Academy*

**[12:57] miw**

**[13:01] miw**

I'll scream otherwise.
***SIGN*** I see.
**[13:33] aoy**
You play dirty.
**[13:36] kan**
Huh? Wha—
**[13:39] kan**
What happened?
**[13:41] aoy**
When I thought about the fact that
I'm locked in here, I suddenly...
**[13:44] kan**
So not only are you a clean freak,
but you're also claustrophobic?!
**[13:47] aoy**
Don't touch me.
**[13:49] kan**
You're such a pain!
**[13:51] kan**
Just being locked in made you
break out in a cold sweat and collapse...
**[13:56] kan**
And you're a severe germaphobe, aren't you?
**[13:59] kan**
Can you even play soccer, a game
where you keep running into people?
**[14:04] kan**
It's impossible to play this sport
without getting dirty.
**[14:09] cam1**
They blasted it in on the counter.
**[14:10] cam1**
Takada Academy bag themselves another goal.
**[14:13] ori**
All right! Goal number two!
**[14:15] sak**
Damn.
**[14:17] sak**
Once they scored, they shored up
their defense and waited to counterattack.
**[14:20] tsu**
Even though they look like delinquents,
they take soccer seriously.
**[14:25] miw**
*Where are you at a time like this, Aoyama?*
**[14:31] kan**
Just another thirty minutes.
**[14:33] aoy**
Does your boyfriend know about this?
**[14:39] kan**
Of course he doesn't.
**[14:41] aoy**
You looked so shifty just then.
**[14:43] kan**
N-N-No, I didn't!
**[14:44] kan**
I'm doing this on my own!
**[14:48] aoy**
Stop...
**[14:51] aoy**
Gotou Moka.
**[14:54] mok**
Anyone who makes Aoyama-kun suffer
has to answer to me.
**[14:59] kan**
How did you... The lock!
**[15:02] mok**
This kind of cheap lock
won't even stop me for ten seconds.
**[15:06] mok**
Some people saw a girl and Aoyama-kun
walking in the direction of the clubhouses,
**[15:10] mok**
so I unlocked them one by one to check.
**[15:14] mok**
Aoyama-kun, please hurry!
The match has started!
**[15:24] cam1**
Fifteen minutes remain,
and Aoyama is missing.
**[15:27] cam1**
Might be time to pack up.
**[15:28] cam2**
You said it.
**[15:32] zai**
That idiot.
**[15:34] girls**
Aoyama-kun!
**[15:35] cam2**
Aoyama has finally made it on to the field!
**[15:37] cheer**
Aoyama-kun!
**[15:37] cam1**
Fifteen minutes left, two goals behind.
That's an uphill task, even for Aoyama.
**[15:42] zai**
What were you doing?
**[15:44] zai**
And why do you have a brush?
**[15:45] aoy**
Zaizen-san.
**[15:47] aoy**
I'm going to pass to you.
**[15:53] ori**
*Why is he here?*
**[15:55] ori**
Ha. So you've finally
shown your face, Aoyama.
**[15:59] ori**
I've been waiting to take you on.

But it's really unfortunate that
there are only fifteen minutes left.

Ishida, get back! He's going for goal!

Saved by the bar!
**[16:33] mob**
He's really up for this, going for

He's only made one play,
but I can already smell a goal coming!
**[16:42] girl**
So cool!
**[16:45] cam**
That's Aoyama. Shoot! Shoot!
**[16:48] zai**
Tch. "I'm going to pass to you," my ass.

See! That's our Aoyama right there!
**[16:53] sak**
Did you see that?

Right on!

I told you not to give him
space or time on the ball!

Yessir! I'm sorry!

*Damn, so* this *is Aoyama...*
**[17:04] ori**
* How can he move so fast, yet keep*
* the ball at his feet like it's on a string?*
**[17:09] cam**
He scores! Goal number one for Aoyama!
**[17:12] ori**
*Dammit! He's in a totally different league.*
**[17:15] ori**
* But you know, soccer's not*
* a clean game. You get me?*
**[17:24] ori**
Do it!
**[17:28] ori**
Put more people on him!
Don't let him get away!
**[17:32] cam**
It's amazing that he can be surrounded
and still keep the ball.
**[17:35] sak**
Hey, now...
**[17:36] zai**
They're being way too obvious
about wanting to hurt Aoyama.
**[17:43] cam**
He crossed while being surrounded.
**[17:45] cam2**
And it's on a dime!
**[17:47] cam2**
How did he even *see* that?
**[17:51] guys**
Aoyama got sent flying!
**[17:57] sak**
Goal! It's two apiece! We're tied!
**[18:01] ---**
Aoyama!
**[18:08] mob**
Yeah, that warranted a card.
**[18:10] guy**
What, really?
**[18:12] zai**
Bastard! What the hell?!
**[18:14] cap**

**[18:15] zai**
That was totally on purpose!
**[18:17] zai**

I just had too much momentum.
**[18:24] zai**
Hey, are you okay?
**[18:26] aoy**
I'm fine.
**[18:28] zai**
You're...
**[18:30] zai**
totally not fine!
**[18:32] aoY**
What do you mean?
**[18:33] zai**
Stop pretending!
**[18:34] all**
Aoyama's movements have
suddenly become stilted!
**[18:39] mok**
Once his uncleanliness
crosses a certain threshold,
**[18:42] mok**
Aoyama-kun gets so stressed out
that he can't play properly.
**[18:45] miw**
Let's put that away, shall we?
**[18:47] orI**
Right now, Aoyama is a waste of space!
Let's put them away!
**[18:52] cap**
Since Aoyama can't move,
we need to cover for him!
**[18:55] zai**
Yeah, we just have to do it!
**[18:57] cam**
It's 2-2, and neither team is yielding!
**[18:59] cam**
There isn't much time left,
so the next goal will decide the game.

**[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.
