**[00:00] Kazama**
Are we practicing?
**[00:01] Atsushi**
Today was supposed to be the deadline.
**[00:04] Kazama**
That's right.
**[00:05] Kazama**
So we're shut down, right?
**[00:07] Atsushi**
No. Today's not over.
**[00:11] Tsuji**
But we were never able to win...
**[00:15] Kurokawa**
We don't have a team to play against, right?
**[00:18] Atsushi**
Fujita East turned us down, yes.
**[00:22] Atsushi**
That's why I invited another team.
**[00:25] Namioka**
They're here! The members of
the Kakegawa Weed Soccer Club.
**[00:30] Kazama**
Kakegawa Weed?
**[00:33] Kazama**
Don't tell me... Is that...
**[00:35] Amagai**
The one who...
**[00:36] Kazama**
He's from the team
that won the nationals...
**[00:41] Kazama**
Kazuhiro Hiramatsu!
**[00:45] Kurokawa**
Hiramatsu played with
Toshihiko Tanaka and Kenji Shiraishi.
**[00:48] Kazama**
That's right.
**[00:49] Kazama**
He was one of the best players
when we were at our strongest...
**[00:52] Atsushi**
The Brains of Kakegawa.
The Miracle-Making Genius.
**[00:56] Atsushi**
Kakegawa's best all-purpose technical player.
**[00:58] Hiramatsu**
Aww, that was a long time ago, Kamiya.
**[01:03] Atsushi**
Yeah. Former best technical player.
**[01:06] Hiramatsu**
Nice to meet you all. I'm Kazuhiro Hiramatsu.
**[01:10] Amagai**
Hello!
**[01:11] Hiramatsu**
Coach Kamiya told me you have
ten members and nine players.
**[01:19] Amagai**
Yes, that's correct.
**[01:20] Hiramatsu**
But we'll play with eleven players.
**[01:27] Hiramatsu**
Let's get started.
**[01:30] Matsuhashi**
I still can't believe we're
playing Hiramatsu's team.
**[01:37] Tatsunami**
I'm seriously nervous.
**[01:39] Tatsunami**
Maybe I'll get his autograph later.
**[01:41] Kazama**
Bullshit!
**[01:43] Kazama**
We have to fight Hiramatsu's team?
**[01:47] Kazama**
We have to beat them?
**[01:49] Kazama**
And we have only nine players!
**[01:52] Atsushi**
Correct.
**[01:53] Atsushi**
Hiramatsu knows about our team's issues,
and still said he'll field eleven players.
**[02:00] Atsushi**
You understand what that means, right?
**[02:04] Atsushi**
He's coming to crush you.
**[02:07] Atsushi**
I'll say this again.
**[02:10] Atsushi**
This is your last chance!
**[02:12] Atsushi**
If you lose this game, the soccer team
is getting shut down!
**[02:16] Atsushi**
Do you all understand?
***SIGN*** Old Friend
**[03:52] Atsushi**
Your opponents are led by a genius,
an all-purpose technical player.
**[03:57] Atsushi**
Kazuhiro Hiramatsu.
**[04:01] Atsushi**
Listen to me.
**[04:02] Atsushi**
Ball control, on-field movements, technique...
**[04:05] Atsushi**
They're probably superior
to us in every respect!
**[04:09] Atsushi**
And we have two fewer players!
**[04:13] Atsushi**
If each one of you doesn't do the work
of two... no, three players,
**[04:17] Atsushi**
not only will you lose,
it won't even be a game!
**[04:20] Atsushi**
So just cling to the ball
as tightly as you can!
**[04:24] All**
Yes, sir!
**[04:25] Hiramatsu**
It's true that, for the past few years, Kakegawa's been a weak team
**[04:28] Hiramatsu**
that couldn't make it past the qualifiers.
**[04:31] Hiramatsu**
But they're being coached
by Atsushi Kamiya now.
**[04:36] Hiramatsu**
We can be sure they're better
than they were. Don't get cocky!
**[04:39] Hiramatsu**
Give this game your all!
**[04:41] Enemy Team**
Yes, sir!
**[04:42] Hiramatsu**
And never forget this one thing:
**[04:45] Atsushi/Hiramatsu**
When you have the ball,
get as close to the goal as you can!
**[04:49] Kazama**
Here we go!
**[04:51] Kazama**
Subaru, pass to me!
**[04:53] Tsuji**
Kazama, you're going too fast!
**[04:54] Kazama**
To me, Subaru!
**[04:57] Tsuji**
Where'd he come from?
**[05:01] Tsuji**
Nakano?
**[05:04] Amagai**
*What is this pressure?*
**[05:07] Hiramatsu**
* That's right. Crush them*
* right out of the gate.*
**[05:09] Hiramatsu**
* Pressure them into thinking*
* they can't attack.*
**[05:13] Hiramatsu**
*Don't let them control the flow of the game!*
**[05:16] Namioka**
We're the ones with the ball,
**[05:19] Namioka**
but it feels like they
outnumber us a dozen times!
**[05:23] Kurokawa**
Nakano!
**[05:24] Kazama**
Subaru!
**[05:27] Miyoshi**
Seriously? He's fast!
**[05:29] Tsuji**
Kazama! Here!
**[05:31] Kazama**
Fine!
**[05:33] Tsuji**
Kazama! You can't do it alone!
**[05:39] Tsuji**
Kazama!
**[05:39] Kurokawa**
Jo!
**[05:43] Kazama**
Damn it!
**[05:45] Tsuji**
Kazama! Why didn't you pass?
**[05:47] Kazama**
If I did, they'd pressure our
side just like they did before!
**[05:53] Tsuji**
But that was too reckless!
**[05:55] Kazama**
If we can't get the ball
to the goal, we can't win!
**[05:59] Kazama**
We have to shoot to win!
**[06:01] Kurokawa**
Like the coach said,
their teamwork is better than ours.
**[06:04] Tsuji**
Kurokawa.
**[06:06] Kurokawa**
Like Jo said, if we want to win,
we have to be reckless!
**[06:10] Kazama**
Listen. If you get the ball, pass it to me.
**[06:14] Kazama**
I'll score with it, I promise.
**[06:20] Kazama**
Okay! Come on! Let's go!
**[06:21] Amagai**
Kazama, you're being too reckless!
**[06:24] Amagai**
Tsuji, don't let him drag you with him!
**[06:28] Tsuji**
*We're surrounded!*
**[06:30] Tsuji**
* They're getting so much out*
* of that two man advantage...*
**[06:34] Tsuji**
*There are enemies everywhere!*
**[06:36] Tsuji**
*But...*
**[06:44] Tsuji**
They're coming! Two escort
mobs on the last boss!
**[06:50] Tsuji**
Okay, we can break through!
**[06:53] Tsuji**
And then use my secret
assault item to pass back!
**[06:58] Miyoshi**
Even their forward is pushing through?
**[07:00] Shindai**
No, he's working together with his wing!
**[07:03] Sudo**
He's coming!
**[07:04] Tsuji**
Two escort mobs on the last boss!
**[07:08] Tsuji**
Kazama!
**[07:09] Tsuji**
Shoot!!
**[07:15] Namioka**
So close.
**[07:17] Namioka**
They almost scored.
**[07:19] Hiramatsu**
Oh, so that forward can be a game maker?
**[07:23] Hiramatsu**
But maybe they haven't been
playing together long,
**[07:26] Hiramatsu**
'cause they're not working well together.
**[07:29] Kazama**
Tsuji, you idiot!
**[07:30] Kazama**
What was that messed-up play?
**[07:32] Kazama**
Why'd you pass?
**[07:34] Tsuji**
You're the one who said to pass to you.
**[07:36] Kazama**
Bullshit!
**[07:37] Kazama**
You could've shot that right in.
**[07:39] Tsuji**
No, there were two defenders.
**[07:42] Tsuji**
My shot wouldn't have gone in.
**[07:44] Kurokawa**
Jo!
**[07:45] Kurokawa**
It's still the early game.
**[07:46] Kurokawa**
Let's stay calm.
**[07:58] Tsuji**
Kurokawa!
**[08:00] Atsushi**
What?
**[08:01] Atsushi**
They're locking Tsuji down?
**[08:04] Tsuji**
*Damn it!*
**[08:06] Kazama**
Tsuji!
**[08:08] Tsuji**
Kazama's open?
**[08:09] Yamaguchi**
Okay!
**[08:10] Tsuji**
No! They're coming up from behind!
**[08:17] Namioka**
Water break!
**[08:21] Kazama**
Tsuji, why didn't you pass to me?
**[08:25] Kazama**
I was open!
**[08:26] Tsuji**
They wanted to intercept from behind.
**[08:30] Tsuji**
They would've had you.
**[08:31] Kazama**
Says who?
**[08:32] Kazama**
You don't know that!
**[08:34] Tsuji**
Then I'll just say it!
**[08:37] Tsuji**
I can't pass to you right now.
**[08:39] Kazama**
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
**[08:42] Kurokawa**
Jo!
**[08:43] Amagai**
Calm down, Kazama.
**[08:44] Amagai**
Tsuji made the right call.
**[08:46] Kazama**
Amagai... Captain.
**[08:49] Amagai**
I saw what they were
doing from my position, too.
**[08:53] Amagai**
And I agree with his opinion
that he can't pass to you.
**[08:58] Amagai**
You're only seeing... No, you're
not even seeing the goal!
**[09:03] Kazama**
We have to score, though!
**[09:05] Kazama**
We have to win!
**[09:07] Kazama**
Am I wrong?
**[09:09] Sonoda**
Look, they're fighting!
**[09:12] Sahara**
They're not working together at all.
**[09:15] Sahara**
At this rate, the team will be
shut down for sure...
**[09:18] Atsushi**
Kazama, Tsuji.
**[09:20] Atsushi**
They're watching you.
**[09:23] Shindai**
What's with that team?
**[09:25] Nakasawa**
All they do is fight.
**[09:28] Nakasawa**
"Pass to me."
**[09:29] Nakasawa**
"You can't get it in."
**[09:30] Miyoshi**
If that's their forward,
no wonder they're losing.
**[09:33] Hiramatsu**
Remember this well.
**[09:36] Hiramatsu**
The very core of soccer is an obsession
with getting the ball towards the goal,
**[09:42] Hiramatsu**
without being afraid of the results.
**[09:45] Hiramatsu**
Unfortunately, it seems like they're
not bringing out their full potential.
**[09:51] Shindai**
Their full potential?
**[09:53] Hiramatsu**
To be honest, I don't know
if they'll ever reach it.
**[09:58] Hiramatsu**
But you've got an idea of their
current strength, right?
**[10:01] Enemy Team**
Yes, sir.
**[10:02] Hiramatsu**
Now go run away with the game.
**[10:11] Atsushi**
*I figured they'd do that.*
**[10:12] Atsushi**
* They're keeping the ball in*
* constant motion between them.*
**[10:17] Kazama**
Damn it!
**[10:21] Kazama**
No!
**[10:22] Amagai**
Hayashi! Nakano!
**[10:24] Amagai**
Get on it!
**[10:26] Shindai**
Got it!
**[10:30] Namioka**
Goal...
**[10:31] Kazama**
They got the first point!
**[10:35] Kazama**
What the hell were those passes?
**[10:41] Tsuji**
Kurokawa!
**[10:47] Tsuji**
I can't keep up with the
speed of their passes!
**[10:49] Kazama**
Damn it!
**[10:51] Sonoda**
Kazama, right!
**[10:54] Sonoda**
Kurokawa, no! Behind you!
**[10:56] Sahara**
Tsuji, front left!
**[10:59] Sonoda**
Don't look at the ball!
Look at what's around you!
**[11:03] Sonoda**
There's always somebody waiting for a pass!
**[11:08] Tsuji**
Him! Kazama, right! Kurokawa, left!
**[11:14] Sonoda**
Idiot, don't look at us, look at the pass!
**[11:18] Kazama**
Sempai!
**[11:19] Hiramatsu**
Oh, my.
**[11:21] Hiramatsu**
They've got ambushers outside the pitch, huh?
**[11:24] Namioka**
Sonoda... Sahara...
**[11:29] Kazama**
Sempai!
**[11:32] Tsuji**
*I can see it! He's next!*
**[11:34] Tsuji**
Kurokawa!
**[11:36] Tsuji**
It's him!
**[11:54] Amagai**
Coach, that attack they used...
**[11:57] Atsushi**
The flash pass.
**[11:59] Atsushi**
Hiramatsu invented it when he played.
**[12:03] Tsuji**
The flash pass?
**[12:05] Atsushi**
Hiramatsu's been training them
on it. They're good at it.
**[12:11] Amagai**
Is there a way to stop it?
**[12:15] Atsushi**
You were being given orders, right?
**[12:22] Sonoda**
Let's go.
**[12:23] Tsuji**
Wait, sempai!
**[12:25] Tsuji**
Can you give us those orders
from inside the pitch?
**[12:29] Kazama**
Tsuji!
**[12:31] Kazama**
Please!
**[12:32] Amagai**
That's right! Give us our orders!
**[12:35] Amagai**
Sempai!
**[12:36] Atsushi**
Are you going to make your juniors
get on their knees and beg again?
**[12:39] Sonoda**
B-But, we...
**[12:42] Kazama**
Sempai, you said not to let
the team get shut down right?
**[12:48] Kazama**
I won't! I promise!
**[12:51] Tsuji**
But we need your help!
**[12:54] Tsuji**
Please, sempai!
**[12:59] Tsuji**
Um, he's completely out of control,
and we need some people we can count on.
**[13:07] Sahara**
But we can't help, right?
**[13:10] Tsuji**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[13:12] Tsuji**
On the pitch, everyone can help!
**[13:14] Atsushi**
That's right!
**[13:16] Atsushi**
You're so irresponsible!
**[13:18] Atsushi**
Leaving your juniors like this...
**[13:20] Atsushi**
Please come back!
**[13:23] Sonoda**
Amagai...
**[13:24] Kazama**
Sempai!
**[13:25] Tsuji**
Sempai!
**[13:27] Atsushi**
How long are you going
to make your juniors bow?
**[13:31] Atsushi**
There's no time!
**[13:32] Atsushi**
Go change!
**[13:33] Atsushi**
Do you want to play soccer?
**[13:38] Sonoda/Sahara**
Yes!
**[13:40] Kazama**
Yes!
**[13:42] Kurokawa**
Isn't that great?
**[13:46] Tsuji**
Are you a little kid?
**[13:49] Shindai**
Looks like they've got their eleven.
**[13:51] Hiramatsu**
Yes, so it seems.
**[13:55] Atsushi**
Look at each other's faces, everyone!
**[13:59] Atsushi**
These are the faces of the Kakegawa Eleven!
**[14:02] Atsushi**
Listen to me! Don't you dare lose!
**[14:05] Atsushi**
You can do this!
**[14:06] Atsushi**
Believe in yourself!
Believe in your team!
**[14:09] Atsushi**
Play Kakegawa soccer until the end!
**[14:11] Team**
Yes, sir!
**[14:12] Atsushi**
Captain, fire 'em up!
**[14:15] Amagai**
Um, Sonoda is here...
**[14:18] Sonoda**
We're counting on you, captain.
**[14:20] Atsushi**
All right!
**[14:21] Amagai**
Kakegawa!
**[14:27] Amagai**
Let's go!
**[14:36] Tsuji**
*We pushed it to the opposing goal?*
**[14:39] Tsuji**
*No, they pulled their line back!*
**[14:45] Sonoda**
Matsuhashi, behind!
**[14:47] Sahara**
Tatsunami, forward!
**[14:48] Kurokawa**
We can do this!
**[14:49] Kurokawa**
We can stop the flash pass!
**[14:51] Tsuji**
No, Kurokawa!
**[14:52] Tsuji**
This is...
**[14:53] Kazama**
We'll stop them!
**[14:54] Kazama**
We finally have eleven players!
**[14:56] Kazama**
We'll win this!
**[14:58] Kazama**
I won't let them shut down the team!
**[15:00] ---**
Now!
**[15:02] Kazama**
What? They didn't pass?
**[15:06] Sonoda**
It's him!
**[15:09] Kazama**
What?
**[15:10] Amagai**
They kept going twice!
**[15:13] Hayashi**
I won't let you shoot!
**[15:20] Hayashi**
The ball...
**[15:24] Amagai**
Hayashi!
**[15:25] Kazama**
Hayashi!
**[15:37] Tsuji**
*It wasn't a flash pass!*
**[15:40] Kurokawa**
Jo! Jo!
**[15:42] Kurokawa**
Are you okay?
**[15:43] Atsushi**
What's wrong?
**[15:44] Kurokawa**
Jo, get to the bench!
**[15:45] Kazama**
I'm fine.
**[15:47] Kazama**
They've got two points.
**[15:48] Kazama**
If I leave the field...
**[15:51] ---**
We finally have eleven players.
**[15:54] Kurokawa**
But...
**[15:55] Tsuji**
He's fine. Had a problem
with his shoes, that's all.
**[15:59] Tsuji**
Stand up, Kazama. We won't let
the soccer team be shut down.
**[16:02] Tsuji**
We'll win, no matter what.
**[16:05] Tsuji**
Right?
**[16:06] Kazama**
Of course!
**[16:08] Tsuji**
Kurokawa and I will back you up.
**[16:10] Tsuji**
Make sure the others don't find out.
**[16:13] Kurokawa**
Got it.
**[16:14] Kazama**
Tsuji, I won't accept your help.
**[16:17] Kazama**
Even if I've got a busted leg!
**[16:20] Tsuji**
Are you a little kid?
**[16:22] Kurokawa**
Thanks.
**[16:23] Tsuji**
Thank me after we win.
**[16:30] Atsushi**
Man-to-man!
**[16:34] Hiramatsu**
That's right. Now they have eleven players,
they can do man-to-man.
**[16:39] Hiramatsu**
But the nine who've been playing since
the start will be tired out soon.
**[16:49] Miyoshi**
How do they have so much stamina?
**[16:51] Miyoshi**
How much running have they done?
**[16:54] Hiramatsu**
*So this is...*
**[16:56] Hiramatsu**
*Kamiya's New Kakegawa Eleven!*
**[17:00] Kazama**
Subaru!
**[17:01] Kazama**
Jo! Don't push yourself too hard!
**[17:03] Tsuji**
Kurokawa, Kazama! Pass to Kazama!
**[17:06] Kazama**
I'm fine! Do it, Subaru! Here! I'm open!
**[17:09] Kurokawa**
Jo, it's up to you now!
**[17:11] Kazama**
Okay, got it!
**[17:14] Sudo**
Is that a missed shot?
**[17:17] Tsuji**
No, I'm keeping it up!
**[17:24] Sudo**
What the hell is that shot?
**[17:27] Hiramatsu**
*Kamiya, you're...*
**[17:33] Namioka**
Three minutes left.
**[17:35] Amagai**
We've still got time!
**[17:37] Amagai**
Go!
**[17:38] Kurokawa**
To the goal!
**[17:39] Kurokawa**
To the goal!
**[17:41] Kurokawa**
As many steps towards the
goal as you can make!
**[17:45] Kurokawa**
We'll win!
**[17:46] Kurokawa**
We will win!
**[17:49] Sonoda/Sahara**
Go!
**[17:49] Namioka**
Go!
**[17:52] Kazama**
It's not done yet!
**[17:55] Kazama**
Go!
**[18:04] Kurokawa**
It's in!
**[18:05] Kazama**
Okay, one more point!
**[18:07] Kazama**
Let's do this!
**[18:11] Sahara**
No...
**[18:14] Tsuji**
It's over?
**[18:16] Kazama**
No... it can't end like this!
**[18:22] Kazama**
Why?
**[18:24] Kazama**
We finally have eleven players!
**[18:28] Kazama**
The ultimate Kakegawa Eleven
is right here! So why?
**[18:33] Hiramatsu**
That was wonderful.
**[18:35] Hiramatsu**
Your spurt at the end,
your incredible stamina,
**[18:38] Hiramatsu**
your mental strength...
**[18:40] Hiramatsu**
And your obsession with getting to the goal.
**[18:42] Hiramatsu**
They were all wonderful.
**[18:45] Hiramatsu**
But, soccer's not a game where
you can win if you're not united!
**[18:51] Hiramatsu**
If you'd come together more...
we might have lost.
**[18:56] Atsushi**
Yeah, that's right.
**[18:59] Atsushi**
There's no end of things we have to work on.
**[19:01] Atsushi**
We're done for today! Now stand up!
**[19:04] Atsushi**
Clean up and fix up the field.
**[19:07] ---**
We're meeting up at 5:30 AM tomorrow.
**[19:09] ---**
Don't be late.
**[19:11] Kurokawa**
5:30?
**[19:12] Kazama**
But we couldn't win...
**[19:17] Atsushi**
You couldn't win,
but you didn't lose, either.
**[19:19] Amagai**
Th-Then the team...
**[19:21] Kazama**
I told you. Tomorrow, 5:30 AM.
**[19:24] Kazama**
Be ready.
**[19:25] Kazama**
There's a lot of work to do,
based on what I saw today.
**[19:28] Kazama**
Then... huh?
**[19:30] Kazama**
The team stays? It stays?
**[19:34] Kazama**
Subaru!
**[19:36] Kurokawa**
Oww! You're hurting me!
**[19:37] Matsuhashi**
It's amazing that we were able to
keep up with Coach Hiramatsu's team.
**[19:43] Nakano**
Right?
**[19:44] Nakano**
It's like we were able to
bring out our true power.
**[19:47] Nakano**
A tie means we can stand up to
the other strong teams, right?
**[19:53] Kazama**
Yeah!
**[19:54] Kazama**
We're the strongest eleven, after all!
**[19:58] Atsushi**
Don't get cocky.
**[20:00] Atsushi**
The ones you played today were
the Hiramatsu reserve team.
**[20:05] Kazama**
Reserve team?
**[20:06] Atsushi**
You're a weak team who can't do better
than tie somebody else's reserve team.
**[20:12] Atsushi**
But you're not losers anymore!
**[20:16] Atsushi**
Don't look down! Go forward!
**[20:19] Atsushi**
I'll give you a new goal.
**[20:22] Atsushi**
What should it be?
**[20:23] Amagai**
To win games, right?
**[20:25] ---**
Is that all?
**[20:25] Tsuji**
To beat Nomada at the prefecturals
and win the tournament!
**[20:29] Atsushi**
Too small...
**[20:30] Kazama**
Win nationals...
**[20:32] Sonoda**
Win nationals?
**[20:33] Atsushi**
A good answer, for you guys.
**[20:36] Kazama**
Win nationals...
**[20:38] Kazama**
Right? Right?
**[20:39] Tsuji**
Sheesh, are you a little kid?
**[20:41] Tsuji**
But maybe, with his help...
**[20:49] Hiramatsu**
Sorry for stepping outside
my bounds there.
**[20:53] Atsushi**
You stole my lines.
**[20:56] Atsushi**
The flash pass and a double heel.
**[20:59] Atsushi**
Impressive.
**[21:00] Hiramatsu**
They have a long way to go.
**[21:04] Atsushi**
Why are you coaching a club team?
**[21:06] Hiramatsu**
There have to be talents who
aren't at a famous soccer school
**[21:09] Hiramatsu**
but who can still compete at a world level.
**[21:12] Hiramatsu**
And I want to find them.
**[21:14] Atsushi**
Talents who can fight at a world level, huh?
**[21:18] Hiramatsu**
I was surprised when I heard you
accepted the coaching job at Kakegawa.
**[21:23] Hiramatsu**
But after today's game, I understand.
**[21:27] Hiramatsu**
You found them here, right?
**[21:30] Hiramatsu**
Hideto Tsuji. And Jo Kazama,
and Subaru Kurokawa.
**[21:35] Hiramatsu**
I'm looking forward to their future.
**[21:37] Atsushi**
Yeah.
**[21:38] Hiramatsu**
They have a long way to go, though.
**[21:42] Atsushi**
Nah.
**[21:45] Atsushi**
They don't have a long way to go.
They've barely even started.
**[21:58] Kazama**
Damn it! Don't laugh!
**[22:00] Kazama**
Damn it!!
