[00:00] Miz
    When I was a first-year,
    I was taken to the Nationals.
[00:03] Miz
    Both summer and winter tournaments.
[00:06] Miz
    It's our responsibility as third-years to
    get you guys to the Nationals this year.
[00:11] Miz
    This is the final match.
[00:13] Miz
    Win this one game,
    and we're off to the Nationals.
[00:15] Miz
    If you're not sure about something,
    just trust yourself.
[00:17] Miz
    Don't feel obligated to do
    anything for anyone else.
[00:20] Miz
    Do everything for your own personal gain.
[00:22] Miz
    I believe doing that will
    be good for the team.
[00:26] Miz
    That's my philosophy.
[00:28] Miz
    I take full responsibility. Do what you like.
[00:32] Tsu
    Seiseki!
[00:35] Tsu
    Fight!
[00:37] ---
    Yeah!
[00:42] Ind
    And Kimishita dictates the tempo...
[00:45] Ind
    So who's he going to pass to?
[00:51] Kaz
    That's what I'm feeling...
[00:53] Kaz
    Euphoria!
[00:57] Kaz
    I'm facing my toughest opponents yet!
[01:00] Shin
    He's taking it to them all by himself.
[01:08] kisa
    He struck it against my knee on purpose.
[01:13] Spec
    Seiseki's Number 9 left
    Saku High in the dust!
[01:20] Hai
    Oh, no...
[01:27] Naru
    It's so wonderful,
    hearing someone's heart break.
[01:32] Kimi
    He's not just a sandwich short of a picnic—
    he's missing the whole basket!
[01:36] Tsu
    Do your best, Kimishita-senpai!
[01:38] Kim
    Get back there already, nimrod.
[01:40] Kim
    We'll get the ball over to where
    your voice can reach us in no time.
[01:45] Tsu
    All right!
[01:49] Miz
    All right.
[01:50] Miz
    Time for a counterattack.
[01:57] Spec
    A bicycle kick?!
[02:01] Guy
    Why is he so strong today?!
[02:05] Miz
    Don't forget, Tsukamoto...
[02:08] Miz
    Your hard work will never betray you!
[02:11] Miz
    You're on the right track.
[02:13] Miz
    Keep on following the course
    you've set yourself.
[02:16] Kaz
    If I tie down Indou,
    the beating heart of Saku High's team,
[02:19] Kaz
    the game will turn in Seiseki's favor!
[02:27] Ind
    I once had the nickname
    "The One-on-One Master"!
[02:31] Kaz
    U-Unbelievable.
[02:33] Kaz
    All aspects of his game are a cut above.
[02:37] Spec
    They're in on goal!
[02:38] Spec
    That one-two did the trick!
[02:39] Kaz
    But I...
[02:41] Kaz
    will never...
[02:43] Kaz
    give up!
[02:45] nit
    Kazama blocked it with his face?
[02:48] Kaz
    My nose refuses to stop bleeding.
[02:56] Oos
    We're going to win.
[02:57] Oos
    That's all there is to it.
[03:07] Oos
    Those who score the goals are more
    important, stronger, and cooler.
[03:11] Oos
    That's what I used to believe.
[03:13] Oos
    But...
[03:15] Oos
    there are heroes who run for
    the sake of others, too.
[03:21] Oos
    My body won't move.
[03:25] Oos
    I've drained all my reserves.
[03:30] Oos
    I'm counting on you...
[03:34] Oos
    Tsukamoto!
[03:36] ref
    Number 17 replaces him!
SIGN    In Order to Connect These Gleaming Days to the Future
[05:12] Spec
    Good job, Ooshiba!
[05:14] Spec
    You did good!
[05:15] Spec
    You showed real Seiseki
    fighting spirit out there!
[05:18] Wom
    Kiichi...
[05:22] Spec
    Who's this Number 17?
[05:24] Spec
    There's 20 minutes left on the clock.
[05:26] Spec
    They're putting him in when they're tied?
[05:28] Spec
    He must be some player.
[05:31] Girl
    Calm down, Sayuri.
[05:33] Ind
    They put him in...
[05:37] Tsu
    I've got to do my best.
[05:44] Girl
    Oh boy.
[05:45] Say
    Tsuku-chan...
[05:46] all
    He messed up right from the get-go!
[05:49] tsu
    I forgot to tie my drawstring...
[05:51] ---
    What's that?
[05:52] Guy
    Man, that's embarrassing.
[05:55] Miz
    Polka dots?
[05:59] Tsu
    Wh-Why are you all laughing?!
[06:00] Tsu
    Come on!
[06:03] Kaz
    My sides hurt.
[06:05] Guys
    Tsu-ka-mo-to!
[06:08] kas
    Well done.
[06:09] Kaz
    Nice one, Tsukushi.
[06:11] Kaz
    That entrance was so you.
[06:14] Tsu
    Kazama-kun, it wasn't on purpose!
[06:17] Tsu
    Please stop laughing.
[06:19] Ind
    This is bad for us.
[06:21] Ind
    Whenever he comes on,
    Seiseki's mood skyrockets for some reason.
[06:26] Ubu
    Can someone please tie
     his drawstring for him?
[06:29] Ref
    Number 17, hurry it up!
[06:29] guy
    You're so tiny, the shorts are real baggy.
[06:31] Tsu
    I-I'm very sorry!
[06:33] Kimi
    You're still a child, aren't you?
[06:35] Kimi
    Huh?
[06:36] Blue
    Finally cracked a smile?
[06:37] Tsu
    I-I'm so sorry!
[06:39] Ima
    His hands and feet are in sync.
[06:42] Tsu
    Usui-senpai.
[06:52] Guy
    Hey!
[06:54] Guy
    Seiseki are sitting deep?
[06:55] Spec
    They've changed their tactics.
[06:57] Spec
    They must be at the end of their rope.
[07:00] Spec
    That means they're relying
    on counterattacks.
[07:03] Naru
    Which means there's a chance
    I'll get the ball!
[07:06] Naru
    Kaoru!
[07:07] Ind
    Gotcha!
[07:08] Ind
    As long as I'm free to move
    the ball around, we've got this!
[07:12] Kaz
    You didn't really think we were going to
    give you time on the ball, did you?
[07:17] Girl
    It's that guy again.
[07:18] Say
    Kazama-kun...
[07:19] Spec
    Kazama's man marking him again?
[07:21] Spec2
    Seriously?
[07:22] Spec2
    He totally destroyed him in the first half.
[07:25] Spec2
    Maybe this is strategic.
[07:27] Ind
    You just don't learn, do you?
[07:29] Ind
    Thought I made it clear in the first half
    that I'll always win this match-up.
[07:33] Kaz
    Well, we'll just have to see
    how it plays out this time.
[07:48] Ind
    You can't beat me!
[07:50] Kaz
    Not on my own, no.
[07:58] Naru
    Kaoru!
[07:59] Guy
    Tsukamoto!
[08:00] Guy
    He took the ball from him!
[08:02] Guy
    What the hell was he even doing there?
[08:04] Rai
    How the hell should I know?!
[08:07] Tsu
    Kimishita-senpai!
[08:12] Ind
    This jackass deliberately sent me
    into the clutches of Tsukamoto.
[08:16] Kaz
    You're right. At this moment in time,
    you are the better player.
[08:21] Kaz
    But...
[08:25] Kaz
    Together, we can beat you!
[08:28] Ind
    They were combining
    from the beginning!
[08:31] Spec
    Here's the counterattack!
[08:32] Spec
    Awesome!
[08:33] Spec
    This is a huge chance for Seiseki!
[08:41] Gen
    Kisaragi!
[08:42] Say
    Don't worry. It's under control.
[08:44] Say
    We've got enough behind the ball.
[08:46] Miz
    Oh, is that what you think?
[08:55] Ind
    Get on them!
[08:56] Ind
    Don't let them get away!
[08:59] Rui
    Go!
[09:01] Goal
    Who's it going to?
[09:02] Goal
    Or will he bring it up himself?
[09:03] Kis
    It's Kazama and Number 17.
[09:05] Kis
    Who can he trust with the ball?
[09:08] Kis
    Not Number 17.
[09:09] Kis
    It's Kazama!
[09:11] Kimi
    Believe.
[09:12] Kisa
    It's going to Number 9!
[09:15] Kimi
    You can do it!
[09:26] Guys
    Tsukamoto's got it!
[09:27] Guys
    He took it in his stride!
[09:29] Guys
    He did it!
[09:31] Guys
    Go!
[09:31] Say
    Tsuku-chan!
[09:33] Oos
    Finish it.
[09:35] Guy
    P-Perfect.
[09:37] Guy
    Just like they practiced.
[09:38] Guy
    Kazama draws the defenders' attention,
    leaving Tsukamoto open.
[09:40] Guy
    That was textbook.
[10:01] Guy
    Narukami stopped it!
[10:03] Guy
    I can't believe my eyes!
[10:04] Say
    Tsuku-chan.
[10:05] Spec
    Wow!
[10:06] Spec
    Narukami's a beast!
[10:08] Spec
    Good job, Narukami!
[10:09] Spec
    Super Narukami!
[10:10] Spec
    Thank you!
[10:16] Naru
    Finally.
[10:17] Naru
    I've got the ball now.
[10:19] Tsu
    Oh, no...
[10:22] Spec
    You ran a long way, Narukami.
[10:24] Spec
    I was sure that was in.
[10:26] Spec
    That Number 17 failed to convert
    an absolute sitter.
[10:32] Naru
    Your shot was poor, but your run
     and your control were wonderful.
[10:39] Naru
    I don't think you'll get another
    chance like that, though.
[10:47] Naru
    Oh...
[10:50] Naru
    Kondou-kun, that Number 17 apparently
    only took up soccer three months ago.
[10:55] Kon
    I can tell.
[10:57] Kon
    That was a close one, but he
    doesn't have a soccer brain at all.
[11:02] Naru
    Still, he's on the pitch during a match
    that determines the best team in Tokyo.
[11:07] Naru
    And he's an important factor in
     making Seiseki's team what it is.
[11:12] Naru
    This is what makes soccer so fun.
[11:15] Naru
    I'm going to go settle this.
[11:18] Kond
    Those two have a lot in common.
[11:31] Guys
    Good save, Inohara-senpai!
[11:33] Guys
    That was a little too close!
[11:35] Guys
    It's not over yet!
[11:39] spec
    Another block!
[11:41] spec
    Saku High's trying to end it here and now!
[11:53] spec
    Saku High got to the loose ball!
[11:56] Usui
    Keep your morale up!
[11:57] Usui
    Make sure the defense is watertight!
[12:00] Guys
    Seiseki!
[12:01] Guys
    Seiseki!
[12:03] Guys
    Seiseki!
[12:05] Guys
    Seiseki!
[12:06] Guys
    Seiseki! Fight!
[12:07] Ubu
    That one moment has put us in a real hole.
[12:10] Ubu
    But if we ride this out,
    we'll definitely get another chance.
[12:13] Ubu
    Stealing the ball to launch
    a counterattack would be best.
[12:16] Ubu
    Right now, Saku High's key player, Indou,
[12:19] Ubu
    isn't being allowed any time on the ball.
[12:21] Ubu
    The connection between him and
    Narukami is being kept in check.
[12:25] Spec
    Seiseki's really chasing the game.
[12:28] Spec
    They've got Indou and Narukami man marked,
    right in front of Seiseki's back line.
[12:31] Spec2
    They've retreated back so far, it's not
    easy for Saku High to break them down.
[12:35] Spec2
    Saku High, try a new line of attack!
[12:37] Spec2
    It's time to go long ball!
[12:41] Naru
    They just don't get it, do they?
[12:45] Naru
    Kaoru's not going to try a risky long pass.
[12:50] Naru
    We're tied 1-1 right now,
    with ten minutes to go.
[12:53] Naru
    Any pass he does now...
[13:00] Naru
    will be an assist that leads to a goal!
[13:03] Kimi
    We've got to stop Indou
    from making any passes.
[13:07] Kimi
    Especially to Narukami.
[13:10] Kimi
    A pass to anyone else, or Indou taking
    on the shot himself, isn't so bad.
[13:15] Kimi
    Besides, we're all bunched up here,
[13:17] Kimi
    so there aren't many clear passes or
    shooting opportunities he can carve out.
[13:21] Kimi
    Then we've just got to make sure
    we don't lose track of Narukami.
[13:24] Kimi
    We have to watch out for the moment
    they send each other some kind of signal.
[13:31] usu
    He's broken free! After him!
[13:33] kim
    What the hell?
[13:34] kim
    There was no signal.
[13:37] kim
    I'm right. He hasn't even seen him.
[13:39] kim
    There was no visual contact
    between the two of them.
[13:42] kim
    Narukami just started running
    for no reason!
[13:47] Naru
    I just need to run toward
    the goal and believe.
[13:50] Naru
    Just like before.
[13:52] Naru
    Like it will always be.
[13:57] Naru
    No matter where we are...
[13:58] Naru
    Even if our eyes are closed...
[14:00] Naru
    Even if we stop breathing...
[14:04] Naru
    Kaoru will always send me the ball!
[14:21] Spec
    Narukami scores!
[14:25] Spec
    Time's almost up and
    they've taken the lead!
[14:28] Spec
    Narukami did it! Amazing!
[14:33] nit
    What the hell was that?
[14:35] kur
    Neither of them even
    looked at each other.
[14:35] crow
    Saku High!
[14:38] shi
    There's no way you can defend against that.
[14:40] nit
    Five minutes left.
SIGN    Seiseki
SIGN    Sakuragi
[14:42] crow
    Saku High!
[14:43] crow
    Saku High!
[14:44] crow
    Saku High!
[14:46] Say
    Tsuku-chan...
[14:49] Must
    Is this it?
[14:50] Spec
    You've done well, Seiseki!
[14:52] Spec2
    Yeah, you put up a good fight!
[14:59] Kao
    Nice.
[15:00] Naru
    We did it!
[15:06] Naru
    Yay! Woohoo!
[15:09] Naru
    Did you see that?
[15:11] Naru
    See how good my partner is?
[15:14] Naru
    We've got the strongest, longest, and most
    direct connection in the entire world.
[15:20] Naru
    We'll never lose, Seiseki.
[15:24] Tsu
    Excuse me.
[15:25] Tsu
    Please get out of the way.
[15:40] Spec
    Restarting right away, huh?
[15:42] Spec
    Guess Seiseki are still set on winning.
[15:48] Naru
    A clean hit.
[15:50] Kimi
    What the f—
[15:51] Kimi
    Usui-senpai.
[15:52] Usu
    You were careless in the end.
[15:55] Usu
    Our strategy was
    "don't lose track of Narukami."
[15:59] Kimi
    The failure was having a strategy
    that relies solely on defending—
[16:02] Usu
    The failure was not in the strategy.
[16:04] Usu
    It was human error.
[16:06] Tsu
    U-Um... W-Well, I think you
    all did a spectacular job—
[16:12] Kimi
    And who the hell do you think you are?
[16:14] Kaz
    I like it. It's nice and simple.
[16:17] Kaz
    Now, we have no choice but to
    throw the kitchen sink at them.
[16:20] Kaz
    Look. They're laughing at us.
[16:26] Ind
    You guys are hilarious.
[16:28] Ind
    We'll score another goal
    and bury you for good.
[16:34] Miz
    We'll attack with everything we
    have in the last five minutes.
[16:37] Miz
    Defend like your lives
    depend on it, Saku High!

    Five minutes left and only one goal in it.
[16:59] Spec
    It's crunch time.
[17:01] Spec
    Seiseki has to attack, even if it's risky.
[17:05] Spec
    They're in a real tight spot.
[17:07] Kaz
    Tsukushi, if the ball comes to you in front
    of goal, just shoot without thinking.
[17:12] Kaz
    Got it?
[17:13] Kaz
    Tsukushi, are you listening?
[17:16] Tsu
    I'm sorry!
[17:17] Tsu
    I was thinking about this
    cat we used to have.
[17:20] Kaz
    You pick now to think about that?
[17:23] Kaz
    Uh, are you okay, Tsukushi?
[17:25] Kaz
    You're not running a fever, are you?
[17:28] Tsu
    No, there's actually a connection.
[17:30] Tsu
    I-It happened when I was five years old.
[17:34] Tsu
    And—
[17:34] Kaz
    I don't need to hear about it.
[17:37] Tsu
    I'm sorry.
[17:37] Kaz
    You can tell me all about it during
     our post-game celebrations.
[17:43] Tsu
    Okay.
[17:44] Tsu
    We've got five minutes left.
[17:46] Tsu
    It's 1-2.
[17:47] Tsu
    We somehow have to
    score a goal to level it.
[17:50] Tsu
    And then, take the lead.
[17:52] Tsu
    Kazama-kun!
[17:54] Guy
    Get the ball!
[17:55] Guy
    We're scoring another goal!
[17:57] Kaz
    It's easier to attack when
    they come out to get you.
[17:59] Tsu
    How?
[18:01] Tsu
    They've been running this whole time...
    how can Saku High still have so much energy?
[18:05] Kimi
    Tsukamoto!
[18:06] Usui
    Help Kazama!
[18:08] Tsu
    Oh, no!
[18:13] Tori
    This guy's still got all the moves!
[18:15] Tsu
    A-Amazing!
[18:17] Kaz
    Where's your head at, Tsukushi?
[18:19] Kaz
    I'm gonna leave you for dead!
[18:21] Tsu
    He really is someone you can always rely on.
[18:25] Guys
    Tsukamoto!
[18:27] ---
    Tsukamoto!
[18:28] Guys
    Go!
[18:30] Guys
    Run!
[18:31] Tsu
    G-Guys...
[18:33] nit
    We still have time! We'll get another chance!
[18:36] Tsu

[18:37] Kur
    Don't let your head drop!
[18:39] Tsu
    Kurusu-kun...
[18:40] Kasa
    You did great before. Now, do it again!
[18:43] Tsu
    Kasahara-senpai...
[18:44] Tsu
    Everybody's fighting alongside us.
[18:46] Tsu
    I didn't even notice until now.
[18:49] Tsu
    Since I only came into the game late,
[18:50] Tsu
    I should be running harder
    than everyone else.
[18:53] Tsu
    Ooshiba-senpai ran himself
    into the ground for Seiseki.
[18:58] Tsu
    Kimishita-senpai believed
    in me despite everything,
[19:00] Tsu
    and passed the ball to me.
[19:02] Tsu
    Through his awe-inspiring play,
    my captain, Mizuki, taught me...
[19:07] Tsu
    that I'm not on the wrong path!
[19:11] Tsu
    And now I know that I always have
    someone who's got my back!
[19:20] Tsu
    Kazama-kun!

    Tsukushi!
[19:24] Ind
    Get on Tsukamoto!
[19:28] Ubu
    Tsukamoto!
[19:29] Coach
    Don't stop!
[19:31] Tsuka
    My legs are all tangled.
[19:33] Tsuka
    I can hear my own heartbeat.
[19:36] Tsuka
    I don't even know when
    I need to breathe in and out.
[19:41] Tsuka
    But...
[19:45] Ref
    Advantage!
[19:47] kas
    Well done!
[19:48] Kur
    Tsukamoto!
[19:50] kaz
    Nice, Tsukushi!
[19:51] nit
    He got it to Kazama!
[19:53] Ind
    You're getting too cocky!
[19:55] Guy
    It's Indou!
[19:58] kas
    There's Mizuki!
[19:58] kur
    Captain!
[20:05] Kasa
    All right!
[20:06] Kasa
    He's so strong!
[20:07] Kimi
    Captain!
[20:08] ari
    I won't let you!
[20:09] Ind
    Don't chase him!
[20:10] nit
    Nice!
[20:11] Kur
    He's bearing down on goal!
[20:15] Ubu
    He's got space!
[20:17] Ind
    Get in front of the goal!
[20:19] Kisa
    Oh, crap...
[20:23] Ind
    Don't let him take the shot!
[20:25] miz
    You moved.
[20:33] Kisa
    He passed?
[20:35] Kaz
    Perfect pass!
[20:36] Kur
    Narukami's coming!
[20:40] Ind
    Stop him!
[20:51] Ind
    What?
[20:53] Naru
    He squared it this late in the game?
[20:56] Kisa
    Who's it going to?
[21:03] Tsu
    When I was five, this cat
    we owned disappeared one day.
[21:11] Tsu
    We had always been together.
[21:15] Tsu
    My dad told me that when it's a cat's time
    to die, they go off somewhere to die alone.
[21:22] Tsu
    What was the cat's name again?
SIGN    Tsukamoto Family
[21:29] tsu
    My dad's fatal accident
    wasn't long after that.
[21:36] tsu
    That's just life, I figured.
[21:40] tsu
    But maybe life isn't about
    counting all the things you've lost.
[21:50] tsu
    I've come to the conclusion...
[21:52] tsu
    that life is about increasing the
    number of important things in it.
[21:55] All
    Tsukamoto!
[21:57] Tsu
    You've got an open goal!
[22:00] Tsu
    I have people around me
    who have taught me that.
[22:04] Tsu
    My precious friends,
    and the game of soccer I love...
[22:09] Tsu
    In order to connect these
    gleaming days to the future...
[22:16] Tsu
    we are going to win here today!
SIGN    I Won't Let Anyone Be Disappointed Again
[23:50] eij
    Wow, Kazama-kun, it's been so long!
[23:52] eij
    I knew you'd show up!
[23:54] eij
    I asked Tsukamoto-kun to come, too,
    but he told me he couldn't.
[23:58] eij
    What? Heartbroken?
[24:00] eij
    I see.
[24:01] eij
    Ah, youth!
