[00:00] Tsu
    I've probably been lying to myself.
[00:05] Tsu
    To ensure that Seiseki
    keeps its reputation,
[00:08] Tsu
    rivalries between individual
    players are a necessity.
[00:11] Tsu
    I can't do that, though.
[00:15] Tsu
    I can't fight with my friends.
[00:17] Tsu
    I mean... I've been living in a world
    where that was never a thing!
[00:27] Tsu
    And if I can't do it...
    am I even allowed to stay here?
[00:30] Kaz
    I see.
[00:32] Kaz
    It's hard for you to go up
    against your friends.
[00:36] Kaz
    I can't even get my head around
    how that could bother someone.
[00:42] Tsu
    I'm sorry.
[00:44] Kaz
    The one thing I can say, though,
[00:47] Kaz
    is that I'm glad we met,
[00:49] Kaz
    and I hope we continue to
    play soccer together at Seiseki.
[00:59] Coach
    Tsukamoto, consider this your last chance.
[01:03] Tsu
    Yes, sir! I'll do my best!
[01:08] kaz
    So you have an answer now?
[01:11] Tsu
    I thought I'd keep mulling
    it over for a long time...
[01:15] Tsu
    But I'm ready,
    and I know what I have to do.
SIGN    The Endless Waves that Keep Crashing In
[02:53] Ref
    The match between Seiseki
    and Ryuushin will now begin.
[03:01] Coach
    This is your last chance, Tsukamoto.
[03:04] Tsu
    Thank you.
[03:05] Tsu
    I'll do the best I can.
[03:08] Ino
    Hey, Tsukamoto!
[03:09] Ino
    Time for the huddle!
[03:10] Ino
    What the heck are you looking at?
[03:13] Tsu
    Seiseki, fight!
[03:15] ---
    Yeah!
[03:17] Other
    Here we go!
[03:18] Other
    Yeah!
[03:48] Goa
    It's coming to Mizuki! Block his path!
[04:00] Guy
    Good job, Kinugawa!
[04:02] Kim
    Where's the ball?
[04:05] Kim
    Kazama?
[04:09] Spec
    Kinugawa saved it again!
[04:10] Spec
    Ryuushin's having to defend for their lives.
[04:15] Fubu
    What's going on here?
SIGN    Ryuushin Seiseki
[04:18] Fubu
    We're 20 minutes into the
    first half and we're 2-0 up?
[04:21] Fubu
    I thought Ryuushin was
    supposed to be formidable.
[04:23] Fubu
    But we've kept them on the back foot.
[04:25] Fubu
    Hey, Beardy, your briefing was all wrong.
[04:29] Fubu
    You said their first-year goalie was so good,
[04:31] Fubu
    this would be a one-goal game.
[04:34] Fubu
    You said getting one goal would be
    more than enough, and to be patient.
[04:41] Fubu
    Wait... Could our team really be that good?
[04:47] Play
    Don't allow him to turn!
[04:52] Guy1
    It's Mizuki and Kazama!
[04:54] Guy2
    Those two are seriously dangerous!
[04:56] Guy
    How many shots has Seiseki had so far?
[04:59] Girl
    Th-That was their 15th!
[05:07] Kimu
    Why? What's going on?
[05:10] Kimu
    I don't care that they're attacking...
[05:12] Kimu
    We knew we'd meet strong teams
    that can compete at national level.
[05:15] Kimu
    That's why we constructed
    an iron curtain defense.
[05:19] Kimu
    The team's morale hasn't dipped one bit.
[05:22] Kimu
    Nobody's slacking off, and everyone's been
    playing their best soccer this whole time.
[05:26] Kimu
    But they just can't halt
    Seiseki's onslaught.
[05:28] Kimu
    Even if there's a short pause,
    they rush in again.
[05:32] Kimu
    Like endless waves that keep crashing in!
[05:35] Coach
    Stop them!
[05:36] Coach
    Get the ball out and break their rhythm!
[05:39] Kimu
    I want to put an end to this,
    but the waves keep coming.
[05:45] Kimu
    You can stop Kazama...
    You can block Mizuki's shots...
[05:52] Kimu
    but the ball goes straight back to Seiseki.
[05:57] Kimu
    I see why now. We're just not
    getting to those second balls.
[06:01] Kimu
    The same guy keeps getting to them first.
[06:04] Kimu
    Him.
[06:05] Kimu
    Number 17!
[06:07] Kimu
    He's the one enabling Seiseki's waves!
[06:11] Kimi
    Idiot!
[06:13] Guy
    Seiseki's got the ball again!
[06:14] Kimu
    Why?
[06:16] Kimu
    Why do loose balls always go to him?!
[06:20] Hai
    The reason Tsukamoto can
    get to those second balls...
[06:22] Hai
    is because he's given up on attacking.
[06:25] Ubu
    But he's a forward, right?
[06:27] Ubu
    Isn't he supposed to attack?
[06:29] Hai
    Normally, yes.
[06:31] Hai
    But Tsukamoto's attacking with
    the intention of defending.
[06:35] Hai
    Right now, he's Seiseki's
    first line of defense.
[06:39] Hai
    That's how he's playing.
[06:42] Hai
    If he sees someone's about to lose the ball,
[06:44] Hai
    he preempts where the ball will go
    and gets it back for the team.
[06:51] Ubu
    I get it now.
[06:52] Ubu
    Stealing the ball so high up
    creates an opening,
[06:55] Ubu
    and our opponents don't expect
    a forward to play defensively.
[06:58] Ubu
    That's why even he's getting an easy ride.
[07:00] Guy
    It's not that simple.
[07:02] Guy
    Forwards are usually egotistical.
[07:05] Guy
    They reckon they're only worth
    anything if they score goals.
[07:09] Guy
    I'm like that. So are you.
[07:11] Guy
    Isn't that right, Bousou's Kondou-san?
[07:13] Kon
    No burning need for goals...
[07:16] Kon
    No attention-craving...
[07:18] Kon
    That's how Seiseki's
    Number 17's playing right now.
[07:22] Guy
    The ultimate form of self-sacrifice...
[07:24] Guy
    That has to be it,
    or he couldn't play like that.
[07:27] Guy
    It's Seikan!
[07:28] Guy2
    Seikan's Taira! Himura's there, too!
[07:31] Guy
    You mean he's playing
    that way on purpose?
[07:33] Guy
    Which way Kazama is going to dribble,
[07:36] Guy
    when Mizuki will take a shot,
[07:38] Guy
    and who Kimishita will pass the ball to...
[07:41] Guy
    Predicting everything is impossible.
[07:43] Guy2
    That's what makes Number 17 scary.
[07:47] Guy2
    What he's doing isn't something
    fancy like prediction.
[07:50] Guy2
    He must be hyper-aware of
    his surroundings at all times.
[07:54] Guy2
    He's got an extremely good grasp of his
    teammates' habits and preferences.
[07:58] Guy2
    Is it a natural tendency of his?
[08:00] Guy2
    Or is it his environment?
[08:02] Guy2
    Either way, I've never seen
    a player like that before.
[08:09] Tsu
    I've... I've spent most of my life
    with my mom.
[08:16] Tsu
    That's how I learned to pay
    attention to tiny details.
[08:25] Tsu
    There's a lot of dangerous
    stuff out there for her.
[08:31] Tsu
    Sometimes, the world isn't very
    kind to those who are less able.
[08:39] (Flashback) Man
    Man, get out of my way.
[08:42] (Flashback) tsu
    Look here...
[08:43] (Flashback) Mom
    Please excuse us!
[08:44] (Flashback) Mom
    We'll move right away.
[08:51] (Flashback) Tsu
    Why?
[08:53] (Flashback) Tsu
    Why don't you get mad at jerks like that?
[08:56] Mom
    Tsukushi.
[08:57] (Flashback) Tsu
    You didn't even do anything wrong!
[08:59] (Flashback) Mom
    Tsukushi, that man might have
    been in an almighty rush.
[09:05] (Flashback) Tsu
    Huh?
[09:07] (Flashback) Mom
    Maybe he had a stomachache.
[09:09] (Flashback) Mom
    Or maybe his child had a cold.
[09:12] (Flashback) Tsu
    But... it's not fair!
[09:15] (Flashback) Tsu
    I mean, you... you...
[09:17] (Flashback) MOm
    Tsukushi, always keep other
    people's circumstances in mind.
[09:21] (Flashback) MOm
    The most important thing in life...
[09:25] (Flashback) MOm
    is to always act based on empathy
    and consideration for others.
[09:30] (Flashback) MOm
    Tsukushi, you have the strength to do that.
[09:33] (Flashback) MOm
    As your mother, I know this.
[09:36] (Flashback) Tsu
    I'm not strong, though.
[09:39] (Flashback) Tsu
    I'm a big crybaby!
    There's nothing strong about me!
[09:42] (Flashback) Mom
    Never forget, Tsukushi:
[09:44] (Flashback) Mom
    Being kind* is being strong.
[09:49] Tsu
    Thank you, Mom.
[09:51] Tsu
    I can't fight and compete*
    bravely like the others can.
[09:57] Tsu
    That's why I'm going to
    run more than anyone else!
[10:02] Tsu
    Not for myself, but for everyone else!
[10:08] Tsu
    Because I still want...
[10:14] Tsu
    to keep playing soccer with these guys!
[10:18] Spec
    That's Mizuki's third goal!
[10:20] Spec2
    A hat-trick!
[10:22] Coach
    Tsukamoto, I always considered
    your kindness to be your weakness.
[10:29] Coach
    It looks like I was the one who was wrong.
[10:32] Coach
    By giving up on competing,
    you actually gained something.
[10:37] Coach
    You kill yourself to let the team live.
    The ultimate dedication.
[10:42] Coach
    So that's your answer, is it, Tsukamoto?

    4-1, huh?
[11:00] Kon
    Four goals against Ryuushin,
    whose forte is their compact defense.
[11:05] Kon
    Seiseki really is a formidable side.
[11:07] Guy
    They've won every match
    they've played in the camp so far.
[11:09] Kur
    T-Tsukamoto...
[11:12] Hai
    ...got two miraculous assists.
[11:14] Kur
    You did it, Tsukamoto!
[11:17] Kon
    Seiseki's strong.
[11:19] Kon
    There's no reason to doubt it any longer.
[11:20] Guys
    You did it!
[11:22] Guys
    That was amazing! You were
    on fire for the whole game!
[11:24] Kon
    I'm still putting my money on Seikan, though.
[11:30] Guy
    They'll be facing each other tomorrow.
[11:33] Guy
    We'll see who comes out on top in this camp.
[11:39] tai
    It looks like this'll be
    more fun than I expected.
[11:48] Shin
    Hey!
[11:49] Shin
    Did you see that arrogant
    flare of the nostrils?
[11:51] Kur
    What?!
[11:52] Tsu
    I-I'm not doing anything like that!
[11:54] kur
    Liar! Show us!
[11:56] Ino
    We're in a meeting.
[11:59] all
    S-Sorry!
[12:01] Usu
    Let's continue.
[12:03] Usu
    Tomorrow, we're up against Seikan.
[12:05] Usu
    They're every bit as strong
    as the data suggests.
[12:08] Usu
    They haven't recorded
    a single loss at this camp.
[12:10] Usu
    On average, they've scored
    3.3 goals and let 0.2 in.
[12:14] Usu
    They tend to score at
    the beginning of the match,
[12:16] Usu
    the end of the first half,
    and the beginning of the second half.
[12:19] Usu
    So they're a team that knows
    when to go all in.
[12:22] Tsu
    Seikan's strong.
[12:24] usu
    Their main pillar is Taira,
    who plays in the hole.
[12:28] usu
    In terms of individual skill,
    he's on a par with Saku High's Indou.
[12:33] kim
    Indou...
[12:35] Tsu
    Th-That Indou-san?
[12:37] Tsu
    But that means we're going
     to get hammered again...
[12:39] All
    D-Don't!
[12:41] All
    That topic's taboo!
[12:43] tsu
    Fwuh? Fwhy?
[12:44] nit
    You idiot!
[12:45] nit
    The fact that Indou excelled means...
[12:47] nit
    that Kimishita-senpai,
    who plays the same position, lost!
[12:49] Tsu
    Really?!
[12:55] Hai
    Extinguished!
[12:56] Tsu
    Haibara-senpai?
[12:57] Kur
    That's going too far.
[13:00] Usu
    By the way, where's Mizuki?
[13:01] Ino
    He left to go to the bathroom a while ago.
[13:04] Usu
    Did he get lost again?
[13:06] Usu
    Anyway, we're done.
[13:09] miz
    This is it.
[13:13] Girl
    Huh?
[13:15] Miz
    Wrong door.
[13:16] Tai
    Hey, wait, Mizuki!
[13:18] Tai
    We're teammates.
[13:20] MIz
    Teammates?
[13:22] Girl
    I'm sorry!
[13:25] Tai
    Sorry, sorry.
[13:27] Tai
    It's more accurate to say
    that we will be teammates.
[13:30] Tai
    Next year, we're both going
    to be pros on the same team.
[13:38] Kimi
    It's raining.
[13:40] Kimi
    I think there was a futsal pitch
    in the annex...
[13:45] Kimi
    Our captain's talking to Seikan's Taira?
[13:49] Tai
    You're not really satisfied with
    Kimishita's passes, correct?
[13:55] Tai
    Right now, you're only being allowed
    to play at 60% of your potential.
[13:59] Tai
    But with my passes, you'd be playing at 100%.
[14:02] Tai
    Scratch that, 120%.
[14:05] Tai
    I mean, you're better than this.
[14:11] Miz
    I guess so.
[14:22] Guy
    Tomorrow, it's Seikan versus Seiseki.
[14:24] Guy2
    Wow, that's crazy.
[14:25] Guy2
    Think Ooshiba's going to play?
[14:27] Guy
    I really like his playing style.
[14:29] Guy2
    I know what you mean.
[14:30] Guy2
    It's like, he's bold,
    but intricate at the same time.
[14:32] oos
    I'm playing tomorrow.
[14:36] Guy
    Is that him?
[14:37] Guy
    I-I'm so sorry.
[14:39] Guy2
    Idiot! Get out of his way!
[14:40] oos
    Sorry.
[14:46] Guy
    He definitely has a presence about him.
[14:48] Guy
    He freaked me out.
[14:49] Guy2
    He's huge.
[14:51] Guy2
    He must be over 190cm.
[14:53] Guy
    A physique like that, and that technique...
[14:55] Guy2
    He can hold up the ball, and he can score.
    He's the ideal center forward.
[15:00] Guy2
    Wish he played for us.
[15:04] oos
    I'm a hero and everyone wants me.
[15:06] oos
    Not bad.
[15:11] Guy
    You're Seiseki's center forward,
    Ooshiba Kiichi, aren't you?
[15:15] oos
    Who are you?
[15:17] oos
    Our team doesn't talk to the papers.
[15:19] Guy
    I'm not a newspaper reporter.
[15:21] Guy
    I'm the center back on
    the team you're playing tomorrow.
[15:24] Guy
    My name is Higuchi.
[15:26] oos
    Are you some kind of scout?
[15:28] oos
    My answer is no.
[15:30] oos
    I'm flattered, though.
[15:32] Guy
    I guess that means you're in
    the starting lineup.
[15:35] Guy
    Well, now I'm relieved.
[15:38] oos
    "Relieved"?
[15:39] Guy
    Because I think Seiseki is scarier
    when your Number 17 is playing.
[15:43] oos
    Damn four eyes!
[15:46] oos
    Wait right there!
[15:50] Tsu
    Ooshiba-senpai...
[15:53] Tsu
    Why are you sleeping out here?
[16:02] oos
    Tsukamoto.
[16:04] oos
    Do you think you did good today?
[16:07] Tsu
    What?!
[16:08] Tsu
    I-I was just a burden to the team...
[16:12] Tsu
    I barely scraped through because
    everybody was helping me...
[16:15] oos
    Pride.
[16:17] Tsu
    Pride?
[16:19] oos
    Have some!
[16:25] Coach
    Kazama's going to be our key player
    in tomorrow's match against Seikan.
[16:29] Usu
    Kazama? Not Mizuki or Ooshiba?
[16:32] Coach
    They already both do their jobs well.
[16:36] Usu
    Well, Mizuki is the captain, after all...
[16:38] Usu
    And Ooshiba is a pulsing lump of greed.
[16:41] Coach
    Kazama's a first-year,
    but he's already our star player.
[16:45] Coach
    His skills captivate the crowd.
[16:49] Coach
    But Seikan has a similar player.
[16:52] Usu
    You mean their first-year star,
    Himura Mayumi?
[16:56] Usu
    Kazama can be a little inconsistent.
[16:57] Coach
    That's right.
[16:59] Coach
    Not even he knows when
    he's in good form or not.
[17:03] Usu
    But if his competitiveness were directed
    at Himura, or alternatively...
[17:07] Coach
    I don't think you can
     expect that from Kazama.
[17:17] Kaz
    So you're Seikan's Himura, huh?
[17:20] HIm
    And you're Seiseki's Kazama.
[17:23] HIm
    I heard rumors about a "super rookie"
    who plays for Seiseki...
[17:28] kaz
    Same here for Seikan. It seems the rumors
    are true and you're quite good.
[17:32] HIm
    Yeah, it seems you're
    not too shabby yourself.
[17:35] HIm
    The other first-years aren't
    even worth talking about.
[17:37] Kaz
    I feel the same.
[17:39] Kaz
    I heard tomorrow's game is
    basically riding on you.
[17:41] Him
    What a strange coincidence.
[17:43] Him
    I heard the same.
[17:45] Him
    I'm wondering something, though...
[17:47] Kaz
    Wondering what?
[17:49] HIm
    Whether you finally want
    to get out of this sauna...
[17:52] Kaz
    Not just yet.
[17:54] Kaz
    I can go for one more minute.
[17:57] Him
    I'm going for two more minutes.
[18:00] Kaz
    I can go three more, easy.
[18:01] Him
    What?
[18:03] Him
    Well, I'll do five more.
[18:04] kaz
    What?!
[18:12] Shin
    Wh-Which one will emerge first?
[18:13] Kur
    It's been 30 minutes at least.
[18:15] Shin
    Maybe they're both dead.
[18:24] All
    Kazama!
[18:30] Him
    I win.
[18:31] All
    You did it, Himura!
[18:34] Him
    I... win...
[18:40] Kur
    What the hell are these two doing?
[18:43] Tsu
    Kazama-kun!
[18:44] Shin
    You all need to help.
    We have to carry them to the infirmary!
[18:56] Spec
    It's Seikan versus Seiseki.
[18:59] Spec
    So far, neither has lost a single game.
[19:03] Him
    Hey, moron.
[19:04] Him
    Looks like I won yesterday.
[19:06] Kaz
    You were passed out till morning.
[19:09] Kaz
    I got up right away, so I won.
[19:11] Him
    We'll have to decide this on the field, then.
[19:14] Kaz
    Tell me something I don't know, idiot.
[19:20] oos
    I'm going to crush you.
[19:21] Glas
    An unintelligent remark.
[19:23] Spec
    Wow.
[19:25] Spec
    They've been talking trash this whole time.
[19:28] Spec
    This is the game that decides
    who comes out on top in this camp.
[19:33] Miz
    Kimishita, make sure you hydrate.
[19:36] Miz
    This is going to be a tough game.
[19:39] Kimi
    I don't need it.
[19:45] Tsu
    Huh? What?
[19:50] Miz
    Kimishita...
[19:53] Ref
    Shake hands.
[19:59] Tsu
    Captain Mizuki!
[20:01] Tsu
    I'll be cheering for you as loud as I can.
[20:03] Tsu
    Good luck!
[20:06] Miz
    I'm ready to put every last inch
    of my life and spirit into this game.
[20:13] Tsu
    I'm pretty sure you don't
    have to go that far...
[20:18] Tsu
    Ooshiba-senpai!
[20:20] Tsu
    I'm praying for your health and success.
[20:23] oos
    Out of my way.
[20:25] oos
    Hell's gonna freeze over before you play.
[20:28] ---
    Oopsy-daisy.
[20:29] Tsu
    I'm sorry!
[20:31] Tsu
    Good luck to you, too, Usui-senpai.
[20:33] Usu
    Thank you.
[20:34] Usu
    You do your best, too.
[20:35] Tsu
    Do your best, too, Haibara-senpai.
[20:38] Hai
    Of course I will!
[20:39] Hai
    There's nobody here who's
    not doing their best.
[20:41] Hai
    And stop doing that thing where you
    bend your knees when you talk to me.
[20:46] Hai
    Out of us two, I'm the taller.
[20:48] Tsu
    G-Good luck, Seiseki!
[20:51] Ino
    Haibara.
[20:52] Ino
    Don't worry about staying back.
    Go forward when you see a chance.
[20:55] Ino
    You can do it.
[20:56] Ino
    Believe in yourself.
[20:57] Hai
    That's the fifth time you've
    said those things to me today.
[21:00] mIt
    Damn, I'm so nervous.
[21:02] Shin
    Relax, Nitobe.
[21:04] Mit
    Okay.
[21:07] Tsu
    Kimishita-senpai, want some water?
[21:11] Kimi
    I said I don't need any.
[21:13] Tsu
    K-Kimishita-senpai...
[21:15] Kaz
    Don't worry, Tsukushi.
[21:17] Kaz
    If I do my job, Seiseki's
    got nothing to worry about.
[21:21] Kaz
    Right?
[21:23] Tsu
    Kazama-kun...
[21:25] Kaz
    You do what only you can do.
[21:35] Tsu
    Huh?
[21:36] Ref
    Hey, you! What are you doing?
[21:38] Ref
    If you're not playing, get off the field!
[21:39] Tsu
    I-I'm sorry!
[21:43] Shiro
    Just go start playing instead.
[21:45] Kur
    You're such a dumbass, Tsukamoto.
[21:47] Naki
    Don't worry about it.
[21:49] Tsu
    You guys...
[21:51] Coach
    Tsu-ka-mo-to...
[21:54] Tsu
    I am very sorry, sir!
[21:56] Coach
    You're ready to go on at any time, I hope?
[22:01] Tsu
    Yes, sir.
[22:04] Coach
    I guess that was a silly question.
[22:12] Tsu
    Seiseki, fight!
SIGN    I Love This Team
[23:51] Kaz
    Hm? I decided to start believing in God.
[23:54] oos
    Huh?
[23:55] Kaz
    You might not be able to tell,
    but I'm really grateful.
[23:57] Kaz
    I went to so many places
    before I found Seiseki,
[24:00] Kaz
    but I'm pretty sure God led me here.
[24:02] oos
    What?
