**[00:00] Tsu**
* When I was five, this cat*
* we owned disappeared one day.*
**[00:06] Tsu**
* My dad's fatal accident*
* wasn't long after that.*
**[00:11] Tsu**
*That's just life, I figured.*
**[00:14] Tsu**
* But maybe life isn't about*
* counting all the things you've lost.*
**[00:22] Tsu**
*I've come to the conclusion...*
**[00:23] Tsu**
* that life is about increasing the*
* number of important things in it.*
**[00:27] Tsu**
* I have people around me*
* who have taught me that.*
**[00:30] Tsu**
* My precious friends,*
* and the game of soccer I love...*
**[00:35] Tsu**
* In order to connect these*
* gleaming days to the future...*
**[00:39] Tsu**
*we are going to win here today!*
**[02:13] all**
Cheers!
**[02:15] Usui**
Good job, everyone.
**[02:16] Har**
Good job.
**[02:17] Hai**
So good!
**[02:18] Usui**
It's been a while since we all had soda.
**[02:21] Fuj**
Where are the others?
**[02:22] tsu**
They'll probably show up soon.
**[02:24] Har**
These are the bomb.
**[02:25] Har**
You had them before?
**[02:28] Har**
Who's that?
**[02:29] Guy**
Mizuki. It's definitely Mizuki.
**[02:31] Guy**
You're late, asshole!
**[02:36] Guy**
Huh?
**[02:37] Guy**
Ah, I'm sorry!
**[02:38] Miz**
It's fine.
**[02:39] Miz**
I'm not injured.
**[02:40] Hai**
Your nose is bleeding...
**[02:41] Miz**
Glad to see you on this auspicious day.
**[02:42] Hai**
What the hell are you wearing?
**[02:45] Miz**
I heard there was a party.
**[02:46] Hai**
Are you *serious?*
**[02:48] Miz**
Huh? There's no party?
**[02:49] Usui**
It's fine.
**[02:53] Guy**
Mizuki's rocking that look.
**[02:55] guy**
You said it.
**[02:57] Ritsu**
How's your leg?
**[02:59] Miz**
I can't even remember which one I injured.
**[03:02] Ritsu**
Sounds just like you.
**[03:03] Ritsu**
Anyway, good job.
**[03:06] Ritsu**
At this point, your leg injury's
a running joke, isn't it?
**[03:09] Miz**
Is it? A lot of people were
pissed at me for a while.
**[03:15] Ritsu**
So we lost, huh?
**[03:21] Miz**
Yeah. We lost.
**[03:25] Guy**
Mizuki!
**[03:25] Guy**
Kasahara!
**[03:27] Guy**
What are you doing out there, being all emo?!
***SIGN*** I Won't Let Anyone Be
Disappointed Again
**[03:39] Miz**
I'll walk you to the station.
**[03:42] Kasa**
I was trying to sneak away quietly.
**[03:46] Kasa**
Tsukamoto's shot cannoned
back off the post.
**[03:50] Kasa**
It was so close.
**[03:52] Kasa**
It wasn't his fault at all.
**[03:54] Miz**
I know.
**[03:56] Miz**
We lost because we couldn't
power home the rebound.
**[03:59] Ann**
A train is now approaching
platform number two.
**[04:03] Ann**
It will be stopping at every station
between here and Shinjuku.
**[04:05] Miz**
Are you going to keep playing soccer?
**[04:07] Ann**
Please stand behind the yellow line.
**[04:08] Kasa**
Yeah, I'll keep playing.
**[04:09] Kasa**
On grass, or on whatever surface.
**[04:11] Kasa**
But I'll probably never play it
competitively again.
**[04:25] Miz**
You reckon you could have finished that?
**[04:28] Kasa**
Who knows? I don't.
**[04:36] Kasa**
No, actually... I would have scored it, 100%.
**[04:42] Kasa**
We practiced shooting
enough to make sure of it.
**[04:45] Kasa**
Don't you think?
**[04:48] Miz**
You're right.
**[04:49] Kasa**
But I might not have had the legs to
even get myself into that situation.
**[04:55] Kasa**
We only got that chance
because Tsukamoto carved it out.
**[05:00] Kasa**
Anyway, bye.
**[05:02] niz**
Yeah...
**[05:06] kas**
Don't worry about me.
Take care of Tsukamoto and Kazama.
**[05:10] kas**
They're the jewels in Seiseki's crown.
**[05:12] Miz**
Yeah.
**[05:14] Miz**
Kasahara...
**[05:18] Miz**
No, never mind.
**[05:21] Kasa**
All right.
**[05:37] Kasa**
*"Never mind..." huh?*
**[05:41] Kasa**
*That's just like him.*
**[06:17] Kasa**
*Dammit...*
**[06:33] ---**
Seriously...
**[06:35] kuru**
I knew you'd show up, Kazama-kun!
**[06:38] Kaz**
That text was kinda out of the blue.
**[06:40] Fu**
Well, this business trip to Tokyo
was a bit last minute...
**[06:42] Fu**
And these guys just wouldn't
take "no" for an answer.
**[06:45] Fu**
I asked Tsukamoto-kun to come, too,
but he told me he couldn't.
**[06:50] Fu**
Sounded pretty down.
**[06:52] Fu**
He's the shy sort, though, right?
**[06:54] Fu**
Guess I was being a bother.
**[06:56] Kaz**
Actually, he got his heart broken yesterday,
and he's hit rock bottom.
**[07:03] kuru**
What? Heartbroken?
**[07:05] kuru**
I see.
**[07:06] kuru**
Ah, youth!
**[07:08] guyA**
I'm gonna cry!
**[07:09] guyB**
Let's invite him again next time.
**[07:11] Kaz**
Forgive me, Tsukushi...
**[07:13] Guy**
Salaryman team, you're up!
**[07:16] guyA**
All right, let's do this!
**[07:17] guyA**
Let's do this for Tsukamoto-kun.
**[07:20] guyA**
Right, Kazama-kun?
**[07:21] Kaz**
Right.
**[07:22] guyB**
Don't get overexcited
and wear yourself out.
**[07:24] guyB**
Happens every time.
**[07:26] kaz**
Shut it.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Shin**
We're almost out of time!
**[07:28] (Flashback) kuru**
This is our last chance!
**[07:31] (Flashback) Kasa**
Kazama drew them away!
**[07:33] (Flashback) kuru**
He's totally free!
**[07:38] (Flashback) Both**
Go!
**[07:46] (Flashback) Miz**
No!
**[07:47] (Flashback) kim**
It's not over!
**[07:48] (Flashback) kim**
If we get the rebound...
**[08:07] (Flashback) Naru**
Kaoru, we did it!
**[08:10] (Flashback) Kao**
Yeah, we did, Shuuji!
**[08:55] kuru**
What's up with you today?
**[08:56] kuru**
You're kinda scary.
**[08:58] Kaz**
I-I'm sorry...
**[09:00] kuru**
So *that's* what happened in yesterday's game.
**[09:03] kuru**
My bad. I shouldn't have invited you.
**[09:05] Kaz**
No, this was a good change of pace.
**[09:08] Kaz**
I'm glad you did.
**[09:09] kuru**
That's good, I guess.
**[09:12] Kaz**
I don't really understand it myself, though.
**[09:17] Kaz**
I wonder what this feeling is.
**[09:19] Kaz**
I feel like I can't calm down or something.
**[09:22] Kaz**
Oh, I've lost plenty of games in the past.
**[09:25] Kaz**
But this doesn't feel like those other times.
**[09:27] Kaz**
Like, I'm still irritated,
or I just can't settle...
**[09:30] Kaz**
Ugh, I can't put it into words.
**[09:33] Kaz**
This has never happened before.
It's a nasty feeling.
**[09:38] Kaz**
What's so funny?
**[09:40] kuru**
That's exactly how I felt when
my promotion got delayed
**[09:43] kuru**
because I failed to close a deal.
**[09:45] Kaz**
Huh?
**[09:47] kuru**
That's how you feel when you get
*really* frustrated about something.
**[09:51] kuru**
It's good that you got
into Seiseki, Kazama-kun.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Tsu**
The Seiseki soccer team...
**[10:01] (Flashback) Tsu**
...is the first place I've ever wanted to be.
**[10:34] Tsu**
Why... are you here?

**[11:08] (Flashback) Tsu**
The Seiseki soccer team is the
first place I've ever wanted to be.
**[11:20] (Flashback) kuru**
You finally found a place where you belong.
**[11:24] Kaz**
*I see.*
**[11:26] Kaz**
*I never saw it like that before.*
**[11:31] (Flashback) Coa**
Kazama!
**[11:34] (Flashback) Coa**
How many times do I have to tell you?
**[11:35] (Flashback) Coa**
Keep your ego on a leash!
**[11:36] (Flashback) Coa**
You never think about the team!
**[11:40] (Flashback) Kid1**
Pass already...
**[11:42] (Flashback) Kid2**
What a show-off.
**[11:46] Kaz**
* I've lost with other teams, but defeat*
* has never felt like this before.*
**[11:51] (Flashback) Miz**
Kazama, you can feel it
pulsing today, can't you?
**[11:55] Kaz**
* Nothing that comes out of the*
* captain's mouth ever makes sense.*
**[11:57] (Flashback) Kimi**
Go get us some ice cream.
**[11:58] (Flashback) Oos**
I'm the hero!
**[12:00] (Flashback) guy**
Outer laps!
**[12:01] Kaz**
*The upperclassmen do whatever they want.*
**[12:04] (Flashback) kuru**
Last one to finish their laps
around the fence buys the ramen!
**[12:06] (Flashback) Shiro**
I'm getting extra noodles!
**[12:07] (Flashback) Shin**
Miso and butter for me!
**[12:08] (Flashback) Tsu**
Please no!
**[12:09] Kaz**
*All the guys my age are real idiots.*
**[12:11] Kaz**
*It's a strange team, that's for sure.*
**[12:15] Kaz**
*But they still accept me as I am.*
**[12:32] Kaz**
Come on. I was sure a certain
someone would be out here, training.
**[12:54] Ubu**
Tsukamoto.
**[12:55] Tsu**
Yes?
**[12:55] Ubu**
You're not sleeping properly, are you?
**[12:58] Tsu**
N-No. How did you know?
**[13:00] Tsu**
That's amazing.
**[13:02] Ubu**
Anybody could tell from those
huge bags under your eyes.
**[13:06] Tsu**
Y-You're right...
**[13:08] Tsu**
You're absolutely right.
**[13:10] Tsu**
Are they really that bad?
**[13:14] Tsu**
I guess... yeah, they do look pretty bad...
**[13:15] Ubu**
*His eyes aren't puffy, though.*
**[13:18] Ubu**
*I see.*
**[13:20] Ubu**
*So he hasn't been able to cry...*
**[13:22] Tsu**
But this is all...
**[13:24] Ubu**
When you sleep...
**[13:24] Tsu**
Huh?
**[13:25] Ubu**
When you sleep, you can't
avoid having nightmares.
**[13:28] Ubu**
And even when you're awake,
you're still replaying it.
**[13:31] Ubu**
That's why you started running
straight after the game yesterday,
**[13:34] Ubu**
not even stopping to eat or anything.
**[13:39] Ubu**
You feel like the nightmares will
catch up to you if you stand still.
**[13:44] Tsu**
Ubukata-san, how did you know?
**[13:51] Ubu**
Because I had a similar experience once.
**[13:56] Tsu**
Oh, you played soccer, too?
**[13:58] Ubu**
As if I would!
**[13:59] Tsu**
Ouch!
**[14:01] Ubu**
I had a dream, too.
**[14:06] Ubu**
I wanted to become a writer.
**[14:08] Ubu**
From fifth grade through to the
second year of middle school.
**[14:12] Ubu**
I did all the right things,
writing nonstop, day and night.
**[14:15] Ubu**
Writing so much that even I got sick of it.
**[14:19] Ubu**
I kept submitting my stuff to contests
in newspapers and magazines.
**[14:24] Ubu**
Kept submitting and failing...
**[14:29] Ubu**
But strangely, if I cried myself to sleep,
the next day, I found the strength to go on.
**[14:37] Ubu**
But by the fourth winter,
the tears would not come.
**[14:41] Ubu**
My heart didn't want to accept it,
but my body already knew.
**[14:46] Ubu**
I was going to give up.
**[14:51] Tsu**
Um... Ubukata-san?
**[14:58] Ubu**
You're not the only one who's
been through something like this.
**[15:09] Kaz**
Man, this clubhouse is a pig sty.
**[15:14] Kaz**
The first-years really need to tidy it up.
**[15:16] Kaz**
Jeez, they didn't even
wipe off yesterday's tactics.
**[15:21] Kaz**
Sheesh, guess I'll do it myself.
**[15:30] Kaz**
Who's the buffoon who used
a permanent marker?!
**[15:33] Kaz**
I don't believe it.
**[15:34] Kaz**
It won't wipe off.
**[15:36] Kaz**
Go away, you bastard.
**[15:38] Kaz**
I've never felt like this before!
**[15:42] Kaz**
Go away!
**[15:43] Kaz**
Damn you!
**[15:45] Kaz**
Go away, already!
**[15:48] Kaz**
Go away!
***SIGN*** Defeat Saku High!!
**[16:06] kaz**
This really was the first time...
**[16:09] kaz**
that I wanted to win so badly
with my teammates...
**[16:13] kaz**
that I liked being in the team I was in...
**[16:17] kaz**
and yet... I was unable...
**[16:25] kaz**
to make my team win.
**[16:31] Ubu**
If it hurts, why don't you be
honest with yourself and cry?
**[16:40] Tsu**
Because I don't have the right to cry.
**[16:44] Tsu**
After the game was over,
on the way back to the locker room,
**[16:49] Tsu**
all the guys patted me
on the shoulder, saying:
**[16:53] Tsu**
"Don't worry about it, you did great."
**[17:06] Tsu**
But Kimishita-senpai's
shoulders were shaking.
**[17:11] Tsu**
Usui-senpai was gritting his teeth.
**[17:14] Tsu**
Haibara-senpai was sobbing out loud.
**[17:19] Tsu**
All their backs were screaming
"I can go on" and "I can still fight."
**[17:27] Tsu**
I'm the one who denied them the chance.
**[17:34] (Flashback) Kas**
Don't cry, Tsukamoto.
**[17:37] (Flashback) Tsu**
I'm sorry.
**[17:38] (Flashback) Kas**
I honestly think it was
a good move to pick you.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Kas**
Hold your head high, Tsukamoto!
**[17:45] (Flashback) Kas**
You now represent all the players
who didn't get chosen.
**[17:49] Tsu**
I cannot cry.
**[17:51] Tsu**
It's all my fault.
**[17:54] Tsu**
I need to practice more,
to get better and better,
**[17:58] Tsu**
until I can properly
apologize to everyone.
**[18:05] Ubu**
Don't kid yourself.
**[18:08] Ubu**
Why are you trying to act tough
when you're so unconvincing?
**[18:10] Ubu**
This isn't like you.
**[18:14] Tsu**
But I have to shoulder
the responsibility of us losing!
**[18:17] Tsu**
That's why I don't deserve
to cry with everyone else—
**[18:22] Ubu**
That's something a smart person would say!
**[18:24] Ubu**
Something *I* would do!
**[18:26] Ubu**
It's a terribly boring and
conventional way of thinking!
**[18:29] Ubu**
I'm telling you, that's *not* like you at all!
**[18:32] Ubu**
If it hurts, wail!
**[18:33] Ubu**
If you're sad, cry!
**[18:37] Ubu**
You ran hard for the team,
but you couldn't bring them victory.
**[18:42] Ubu**
That's why it hurts!
**[18:43] Ubu**
That's why you're suffering!
**[18:45] Ubu**
That's why you cry, and that's
why you try again next time!
**[18:48] Ubu**
That's good enough!
**[18:55] Ubu**
If you truly challenge yourself to achieve
something and give it your all,
**[18:59] Ubu**
there's nothing in this
world that can stop you.
**[19:02] Ubu**
It's because people give up halfway through
that makes them look like they've failed.
**[19:07] Ubu**
Defeat, despair, failure...
you've got to swallow it all!
**[19:11] Ubu**
*Everything* is part of your next victory!
**[19:14] Ubu**
Nothing is ever in vain!
**[19:15] Ubu**
None of your efforts have been in vain!
**[19:19] Tsu**
But it was my fault...
**[19:24] Tsu**
we lost.
**[19:27] Ubu**
It wasn't your fault.
**[19:29] Ubu**
There isn't a single person who thinks that.
**[19:34] Tsu**
So I... can cry?
**[19:37] Ubu**
You can.
**[19:38] Ubu**
You gave everything you had.
**[19:41] Ubu**
I'm telling you this as the person
who usually takes you to task.
**[19:45] Ubu**
Don't doubt me.
**[19:50] Kaz**
Don't sweat it. Just run...
**[19:52] Tsu**
*It hurt so much...*
**[19:53] kur**
You punks lost to this guy.
**[19:54] Kasa**
Let's bring the heat.
**[19:56] Tsu**
*I wanted to win...*
**[19:57] Miz**
Always hold your head up high.
**[19:59] Kimi**
I said go back.
**[20:00] tsu**
*I...*
**[20:00] kim**
We'll get the ball over to where
your voice can reach us in no time.
**[20:03] Tsu**
*I...*
**[20:03] Oos**
I'm counting on you...
**[20:07] Miz**
You did good, Tsukamoto.
**[21:12] Miz**
*You're the last one.*
**[21:13] Miz**
*I swear, Kasahara...*
**[21:22] Miz**
*I won't let anyone be disappointed again.*
**[23:03] Ubu**
*Great. Now he's asleep...*
**[23:04] Ubu**
*What are you, five?*
**[23:06] Ubu**
*He really didn't get any sleep, huh?*
**[23:10] Ubu**
* I don't like it, but it's not like*
* I can do anything about it.*
**[23:16] kuru**
What the hell are they doing?!
**[23:18] Shin**
I have no idea!
**[23:19] kuru**
I came down here because I was worried,
and now I see they've hooked up?!
**[23:24] Ubu**
* Nitobe will get a single blow*
* to the solar plexus.*
**[23:30] Ubu**
*Shiratori will get a triple kick.*
**[23:34] Ubu**
*Kurusu will get a German Suplex.*
**[23:38] Ubu**
*Shouldn't take more than five minutes.*
**[23:40] kuru**
Wh-What's with her aura?
**[23:42] Shin**
We saw something we shouldn't have.
**[23:44] kuru**
Shouldn't we hotfoot it outta here?
***SIGN*** You Just Need to Look Forward
**[23:50] Voice**
Tsuku-chan, when do you want
to do this summer barbecue?
**[23:53] Tsu**
Let's see... We've got a
training camp this week...
**[23:56] Tsu**
Next week, we've got practice every day...
**[23:59] Tsu**
And after that...
**[24:00] Voice**
So you don't have a free day
for the next 40 days?!
**[24:03] Tsu**
You're right!
