[00:05] Sawa
    The day after our second group game,
    we played softball in PE class.
[00:14] Ref
    Strike!
[00:15] Ref
    You're out!
[00:23] Shiratori
    I'm terrified. Terrified!
[00:25] Shiratori
    God has given me so many talents.
    What does he want me to do with them?
[00:32] Yamada
    The girls look like they're having fun.
[00:34] Namek
    Oh, the boss is up next.
[00:36] Takei
    At least she's got energy.
[00:39] Midori
    Damn it. It's getting to her head.
[00:42] Nozomi
    Damn that Shiratori.
[00:45] Shiratori
    Oh, my.
[00:48] Shiratori
    I was wondering who'd be up to bat next.
[00:52] Shiratori
    It's the girl who cost us a win
    by scoring on her own goal,
[00:55] Shiratori
    then fell asleep while being
     lectured by the upperclassmen,
[01:00] Shiratori
    then got banished from the
    bench during the second game.
[01:05] Shiratori
    This dimwit.
[01:08] Nozomi
    This is humiliating.
[01:10] Sawa
    Non-chan was looking to get
    revenge during the softball game,
[01:14] Sawa
    but instead, disaster was
    about to befall her.
[01:19] Sawa
    Ugh! Non-chan, you dummy!

[03:06] Shiratori
    The common folk do love to split hairs.
    That's what makes them common.
[03:10] Shiratori
    I shall end your life here and now!
[03:17] Sawa
    Wow, the ball flew upward.
[03:20] Sumire
    Interesting. That was a riseball.
[03:23] Sawa
    A riseball?
[03:25] Nozomi
    Why does she have to be good
    at sports other than soccer?!
[03:29] Shiratori
    Ignorant peasant. You'll pay
    for verbally abusing me.
[03:36] Shiratori
    I shall finish you off with my Swan Shot!
[03:45] Both
    It sank!
[03:46] Shiratori
    Even when crushing mere
    water fleas, I always go all-out.
[03:51] Shiratori
    That's the Shiratori way.
[03:53] Shiratori
    Your head is mine!
[04:02] Midori
    All right! Run!
[04:05] Girl A
    Was that a hit?
[04:08] Sawa
    Non-chan!
[04:09] Yamada
    Looks like the girls are having fun.
[04:12] Namek
    Is the boss okay?
[04:15] Takei
    Doesn't look like it.
[04:17] Sawa
    Just before the crucial third game that would
    determine our advance to the knockouts,
[04:22] Sawa
    Non-chan injured her foot.

[04:44] Nomi
    Their defense is solid.
[04:47] Nomi
    It's tough when a strong
    school plays defensively.
[04:51] Sumire
    I'll crush them from the wing.
[04:53] Shiratori
    I'll attack head-on and drive it home!
[05:02] Midori
    Onda, what are you doing?!
[05:05] Midori
    You'll pay for that.
[05:07] Nomi
    Why is she so terrible at
    maintaining her physical condition?
[05:11] Nomi
    They're clearly going for her!
[05:13] Nomi
    Hiraga, you're up!
[05:14] Hiragai
    Yes, ma'am.
[05:15] Sawa
    The truth is, her foot's bruised.
[05:18] Sawa
    But she's keeping it a secret because
    if she said so, she wouldn't get to play.
[05:22] Nomi
    Since she's so lifeless, you won't
     mind subbing her out, right?
[05:28] Nomi
    Fine, I'll make the decision myself!
     We'd like to make a sub—
[05:31] Fukatsu
    Wait.
[05:39] Shiratori
    Ignorant peasant!
[05:41] Shiratori
    If you're not going to pass to me,
    could you kindly get off the field?
[05:44] Nozomi
    No way!
[05:45] Midori
    If you make your injury worse by playing,
    you'll only end up looking like an idiot.
[05:48] Midori
    You should sit this one out.
[05:50] Nozomi
    No!
[05:51] Midori
    Don't be unreasonable.
    You can't do anything on that foot.
[05:59] Nozomi
    In the semifinal against Italy in the
    1970 World Cup held in Mexico,
[06:08] Nozomi
    West Germany's Beckenbauer
    dislocated his shoulder mid-game,
[06:14] Nozomi
    but remained on the pitch to encourage
    his team and played to the final whistle.
[06:21] Nozomi
    There's nothing Beckenbauer
     can do that I can't.
[06:28] Shiratori
    Considering you haven't scored a single goal,
    that's meaningless nonsense from a loser.
[06:33] Midori
    I'm not sure I agree with you comparing
    yourself to one of the greats.
[06:38] Nozomi
    How humiliating!
[06:45] Nozomi
    Yes? What is it?
[06:46] Fukatsu
    Idiot. Don't push yourself so hard.
    Your foot's injured, isn't it?
[06:50] Nozomi
    I'm totally fine.
[06:52] Nozomi
    See?
[06:54] Fukatsu
    And what if your injury prevents
     you from playing in the future?
[06:57] Fukatsu
    Don't underestimate an injury.
[06:59] Nozomi
    Please. I can't let this beat me.
[07:11] Fukatsu
    You're hopeless.
[07:13] Fukatsu
    I'm subbing you out at the next break in play.
[07:15] Fukatsu
    You'd better prove to me it was worth it.
[07:20] Nozomi
    Yes, sir!
[07:23] Nozomi
    That's right.
[07:25] Nozomi
    I was so busy being weirdly stubborn
    that I'd forgotten how I usually play.
[07:32] (Flashback) Sawa
    It's finally time, huh?
[07:34] (Flashback) Sawa
    You finally get to play in
    your first official game.
[07:40] Nozomi
    I was desperate to play in an
    official game, and now I am.
[07:43] Number 16
    It's clear!
[07:44] Midori
    Damn, their defense is solid.
[07:46] Shiratori
    Pass it to me!
[07:53] (Flashback) Samejima
    Go make girls' soccer the
    best in the world again.
[07:58] Nozomi
    It may hurt, but to say
    I can't do anything would be
[08:02] Nozomi
    a waste of an opportunity!
[08:09] Nomi
    Nice shot!
[08:10] Sawa
    The Dancing Swan!
[08:14] Shiratori
    I knew I'd be the one to save the team!
[08:15] Midori
    Hitting a through ball with an injured foot?
[08:16] Shiratori
    The top scorer is running at maximum speed!
[08:19] Midori
    She's crazy.
[08:23] Midori
    "There's nothing Beckenbauer
    can do that I can't," huh?
[08:30] Midori
    These girls truly are interesting.
[08:34] Fukatsu
    Hiraga, you're subbing in for Onda.
[08:36] Hiragai
    Yes, sir.
[08:37] Hiragai
    Got it. I'm going.

    to teach them how to defend.
[09:14] Fukatsu
    Well, I'm not doing it.
    Sounds like a pain in the ass.
[09:17] Nomi
    But we have the knockout stages coming up!
[09:19] Nomi
    Why do you always shy away
     from doing actual coaching?
[09:21] Nomi
    What's wrong with teaching them
    stuff, you panda-eyed mute?
[09:25] Fukatsu
    You're such a nag.
[09:29] Nomi
    Coach, you noticed Onda was injured
     during the game the other day.
[09:36] Nomi
    That's why you only let her
    stay in for one last attack.
[09:39] Fukatsu
    Well, hindsight is 20/20.
[09:43] Nomi
    You said something to Onda. What was it?
[09:46] Fukatsu
    I forget.
[09:50] Nomi
    I'm not a very good coach if I can't
    even tell when my players are injured.

    So far, I haven't been able to
    do anything for those girls.

    That's how we become coaches.

    Do you think you're a good coach?

[11:35] Nozomi
    Then why were you stalking us, huh?
[11:38] Midori
    Why did you have that weapon on you?
[11:40] Sumire
    For self-defense. And because
    I like them. They're bolas.
[11:44] Fukatsu
    What are you girls doing?
[11:46] Nozomi
    Hey, it's Panda Eyes.
[11:47] Nozomi
    We caught a pervert. Call the cops.
[11:50] Katsuo
    I object to this!
[11:53] Katsuo
    Is this how people end up falsely accused?
[11:58] Fukatsu
    Is that you, Katsuo?
[12:01] Katsuo
    Darling!
[12:04] Katsuo
    Use your dominant foot to pass.
[12:07] Katsuo
    That's it. Keep up the pressure.
[12:09] Katsuo
    Pass off your marks clearly and smoothly.
[12:12] Katsuo
    Too slow in switching
     from attack to defense!
[12:18] Nomi
    Who's he?
[12:22] Katsuo
    Hey, you.
[12:24] Katsuo
    You could've hit that pass a little earlier.
[12:27] Katsuo
    Keep in mind who's where in the build-up phase.
[12:29] Kishi
    Yes, sir!
[12:30] Katsuo
    Defenders, block their passing
    angles as you close in on them.
[12:33] Both
    Yes, sir.
[12:36] Nomi
    Kazuo Takahagi?!
[12:39] Katsuo
    Whoa, it's Naoko Nomi.
[12:43] Katsuo
    It's really her. Wow.
[12:46] Katsuo
    Nice to meet you.
    I'm Fukatsu's junior, Kazuo Takahagi.
[12:51] Nomi
    I know who you are!
    I can't believe it's really you!
[12:55] Nomi
    Wait, you're Takahagi's senior?
[12:58] Fukatsu
    Don't be so surprised.
[13:01] Midori
    He didn't just play in Japan,
    but in Spain and Portugal, as well.
[13:05] Midori
    He was the Japan national team's
    indispensable left winger.
[13:08] Midori
    Despite suffering from lower back pain,
    he took painkillers and continued to play,
[13:13] Midori
    earning him the nickname "Ironman."
[13:16] Midori
    That's who you guys tied up
     and shouted abuse at.
[13:21] Katsuo
    Thank you for looking after him.
[13:24] Nomi
    No, no, thank you.
[13:27] Katsuo
    He can be quite stubborn.
    Working with him must be difficult.
[13:31] Nomi
    I suppose so.
[13:33] Katsuo
    Don't get carried away just because you
    work closely with him, you ugly bitch!
[13:37] Nomi
    Huh?
[13:39] Fukatsu
    Sorry about him...
[13:40] Nozomi
    He called Panda Eyes "Darling"!
[13:43] Sawa
    He sure did!
[13:44] Katsuo
    Silence!
[13:45] Fukatsu
    Katsuo, enough. You're
    interfering with our practice.
[13:48] Fukatsu
    Get out of here.
[13:49] Katsuo
    Aw, you're so mean.
[13:59] Fukatsu
    Why did you come here?
[14:02] Katsuo
    I was in the area, so I came to see you.
[14:06] Fukatsu
    Liar.
[14:08] Katsuo
    You've got a team of good teachable girls.
[14:11] Katsuo
    They've got talent, too.
[14:13] Katsuo
    Maybe I'll scout some of them for my team.
[14:16] Fukatsu
    The third-years ran away from me again.
[14:20] Katsuo
    Probably because you weren't
     coaching them properly.
[14:23] Katsuo
    This time, it's 100% your own fault.
[14:31] Katsuo
    If you lack motivation, you should
     wash your hands of soccer.
[14:39] Katsuo
    These girls are a treasure.
[14:42] Katsuo
    Developing talent needs a
    proper coach to nurture it.
[14:50] Katsuo
    A half-assed scrub like you
    should stay away from them.
[14:56] Katsuo
    Frankly, you'll only do them harm.
[15:03] Fukatsu
    You're right, Katsuo.
[15:07] Fukatsu
    This harmful pest is getting out of here.
[15:09] Katsuo
    Senpai...
[15:13] Nomi
    Hey...
[15:19] Katsuo
    It's no use.
[15:31] Katsuo
    I first met him at the U18 training camp.
[15:36] Nozomi
    What? Panda Eyes played
     for the national team?!
[15:39] Sawa
    He can play soccer?!
[15:40] Midori
    He was a teenager once?!
[15:44] Katsuo
    Goro Fukatsu was considered the
    standout player of our generation.
[15:50] Katsuo
    His passing was excellent,
    and he had an eye for tactics.
[15:53] Katsuo
    He encouraged and inspired his teammates.
     They called him the Japanese Xavi.
[15:57] Katsuo
    More than anything, it was his unyielding
    determination that encouraged us.
[16:04] Katsuo
    He looked after his juniors, too.
[16:07] Katsuo
    We all looked up to him.
[16:10] Katsuo
    But...
[16:11] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    My leg... My leg!
[16:14] Katsuo
    It happened during the U23 training camp.
[16:18] Katsuo
    He got tangled up with
    someone during a set piece.
[16:21] Katsuo
    I cursed the gods of soccer.
[16:24] Katsuo
    After all, I believed the future
    of Japanese soccer lay with him.
[16:31] Katsuo
    His right leg was seriously injured.
[16:33] Katsuo
    He went under the knife three times
[16:35] Katsuo
    and worked like hell at his physical therapy,
    but he never regained his top form.
[16:44] Katsuo
    But that's when he did something really cool!
[16:48] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    I'm going to retire.
[16:51] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    I can't make a living as a pro on this leg.
[16:55] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    I think it'd be better if
     I bowed out gracefully.
[16:58] Katsuo
    It's happening. I have to stop him.
[17:01] Katsuo
    But...
[17:02] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    So I'm going to quit playing
    and become a coach.
[17:06] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    I always intended to coach.
[17:09] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    My schedule just got moved forward.
[17:12] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    Remember what you said?
[17:14] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    "Let's become coaches and face each other."
[17:18] Katsuo
    That's right. This man is indomitable.
[17:22] Katsuo
    That's why I look up to him.
    It's the reason I chase after him.
[17:29] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    I'll begin my life as a coach now.
[17:33] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    You should have a long career as a player,
    and build some connections and charisma.
[17:39] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    Without that added value,
    you'll never catch up to me.
[17:44] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    At any rate, by the time you
    retire and become a coach,
[17:49] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    I'll be lifting Big Ears.
[17:54] Katsuo
    Oh, darling. You were so
    cool back then, my husband.
[17:59] Nozomi
    "My husband"?
[18:04] Katsuo
    He was put in charge of a JFL team and
    became a coach at too young an age.
[18:10] Katsuo
    He brought in new tactics, put young
     players in positions of responsibility,
[18:15] Katsuo
    and planned to reform the team.
[18:18] Katsuo
    He was burning with idealism.
[18:22] Katsuo
    Play good soccer, and your
    team will become strong.
[18:26] Katsuo
    Play captivating soccer,
    and people will follow.
[18:30] Katsuo
    Nobody loved soccer or
    believed in it more than he did.
[18:37] Katsuo
    But nobody followed him.
[18:42] Katsuo
    After he was made coach,
[18:44] Katsuo
    the mainstays who'd been
    taken out of the starting lineup
[18:47] Katsuo
    became a negative influence
    in the locker room.
[18:51] (Flashback) Veteran 1
    We're not putting up with this!
[18:53] (Flashback) Veteran 2
    We don't need your tactics.
[18:56] Katsuo
    The younger players tried hard
    to avoid upsetting the older ones.
[19:00] Katsuo
    Some players began boycotting practices.
[19:03] Katsuo
    Some even went to talk to
    the club president directly.
[19:07] (Flashback) Veteran 1
    Get rid of that coach, or we're all quitting.
[19:15] Katsuo
    The discord prevented them from winning
     anything, and ultimately, the team fell apart.
[19:21] Nomi
    So that's why he always
    avoids discussing tactics.
[19:28] Fukatsu
    There, all better.
[19:31] Katsuo
    He was forced to take responsibility
    for everything and was dismissed.
[19:39] Katsuo
    He feuded with the management.
[19:42] Katsuo
    Perhaps he's lost his passion for soccer.
[19:47] Nozomi
    No, he hasn't.
[19:51] Nozomi
    Panda Eyes likes soccer.
[19:53] Nozomi
    That's why he's coaching us.
[19:56] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    And what if your injury prevents
     you from playing in the future?
[20:00] (Flashback) Fukatsu
    Don't underestimate an injury.
[20:02] Nozomi
    That's why Panda Eyes sticks by our side.
[20:09] Nozomi
    He's not a very good coach, though.
[20:11] Sumire
    His scooter is way too cute for that face.
[20:14] Midori
    He's got the look of an unlucky gambler.
[20:16] Sawa
    He should get more sleep.
[20:19] Nomi
    And despite everything he says,
     he still shows up to practice.
[20:31] Katsuo
    Maybe these girls and
    their passion will heal him.
[20:42] Katsuo
    You're right.
[20:45] Katsuo
    I'm sure... he must still love soccer.
[20:52] Katsuo
    Thank you for seeing me off.
[20:55] Nomi
    No, thank you for coaching us.
    It was a good experience.
[21:00] Katsuo
    I hope you'll look after him for me.
[21:03] Nozomi
    We will.
[21:05] Midori
    Guess we have to, huh?
[21:06] Nomi
    Hey, mind your manners.
[21:08] Katsuo
    See you later. Next time,
    we'll meet on the pitch.
[21:11] Nomi
    Yes. On the pitch.
[21:15] Katsuo
    Oh, one more thing.
[21:18] Katsuo
    He doesn't gamble.
[21:21] Nozomi
    What? But he reads horse
    racing magazines all the time.
[21:25] Katsuo
    He likes horses.
[21:28] Katsuo
    Apparently, he loves their big, round eyes.
[21:31] Katsuo
    Cute, isn't he?
[21:34] Katsuo
    Later.
[21:36] Nomi
    Cute?
[21:37] Nozomi
    Panda Eyes?

    It seems we were destined
    to play each other, Midori.
