[00:10] ---
    Ryoga! Over here!
[00:16] ---
    Hey, Kiko and Dodo.
[00:18] ---
    Hello. Is that your little brother?
[00:21] ---
    He seems like a good kid,
    just as I've heard.
[00:25] ---
    Team USA's captain personally
    came to pick me up? I'm flattered.
[00:32] ---
    I'm Ralph Reinhart. Welcome.
[00:36] ---
    Nice to meet you, Ryoma.
[00:42] ---
    Hello.
[00:51] ---
    Doesn't this American wind
    feel nostalgic, Ryoma?
[00:55] ---
    He's not the nostalgic type.
[00:58] ---
    So he was forced to withdraw
    from the Japan training camp?
[01:02] ---
    Yeah, he picked a fight
    with their captain.
[01:05] ---
    You've sure got guts.
[01:08] ---
    Not really.
[01:09] ---
    Anyway, you're not just gonna let me
    join the US team this easily, right?
[01:18] ---
    Good. You get how things
    work here, Shorty.
[01:21] ---
    Even with Ryoga's recommendation, you've
    still gotta join by the proper procedures.
[01:27] ---
    Including Ryoga, 13 of 14
    representatives have been chosen.
[01:32] ---
    There are 24 other candidates
    besides Ryoma vying for the last spot.
[01:39] ---
    You must secure your spot on
    the team with your own strength, Ryoma.
[01:46] ---
    Bring it on.
[03:18] ---
    "Team USA, Ryoma Echizen"
[03:38] ---
    Hey, Shorty.
[03:41] ---
    Man, Japan sure is cold
    at this time of the year.
[03:48] ---
    Don't you miss living in the US with me?
[03:52] ---
    Not really.
[03:53] ---
    Do you want to beat Byodoin?
[03:57] ---
    What if I do?
[03:58] ---
    But now that you've been banished
    from that training camp,
[04:02] ---
    there's no opportunity
    for you to beat him anymore.
[04:06] ---
    Stop bugging me.
[04:08] ---
    I know the one way you could play him.
[04:14] ---
    At the U-17 World Cup.
[04:18] ---
    Byodoin is the captain of Team Japan.
[04:22] ---
    Play alongside me...
[04:25] ---
    ...representing the USA.
[04:31] ---
    We're here.
[04:33] ---
    This is the training camp for Team USA.
[04:37] ---
    All candidates here placed in the top two
    of their respective state competitions.
[04:43] ---
    At this training camp,
[04:45] ---
    players improve their abilities
    through cutting-edge sports science.
[04:49] ---
    Our talent is as abundant as the stars.
[04:52] ---
    This is what makes Team USA.
[04:55] ---
    S-h-o-r-t-y. Scared because
    you feel out of place here?
[05:01] ---
    Who, me?
[05:04] ---
    That's my little bro.
[05:06] ---
    You get a uniform once you register.
[05:09] ---
    Come back once you change.
    We'll wait at the café.
[05:14] ---
    Are you sure about this, Ryoga?
[05:17] ---
    There's nothing to worry about.
[05:19] ---
    If he doesn't make the cut,
    then that's that.
[05:24] ---
    And now, the forecast.
[05:26] ---
    Clear skies likely for today
    and tomorrow...
[05:28] ---
    Hey! That's your Team USA
    uniform. Don't you dare drop it.
[05:35] ---
    What are you doing here, Shorty?
    You've come to the wrong place.
[05:39] ---
    Oh, yeah. I did hear that a Japanese
    tennis prodigy is trying to join Team USA.
[05:45] ---
    What? You've gotta be joking.
[05:48] ---
    He looks like a kindergartener.
[05:50] ---
    Got that right.
[05:54] ---
    Tennis prodigy?
[05:56] ---
    This punk is no big deal.
[05:59] ---
    Wanna try me?
[06:13] ---
    What the heck?
    The shorty beat 22 guys already!
[06:19] ---
    Hey, done already?
[06:22] ---
    I'm next! I'll smash you to bits!
[06:31] ---
    Y-You punk!
[06:40] ---
    Wh-What? No way!
[06:44] ---
    You still have a long way to go.
[06:47] ---
    I'm warmed up now. Thanks.
[06:54] ---
    You punk!
[07:00] ---
    You should cool it.
[07:03] ---
    You managed to put the brakes
    on Maxwell, the Runaway Train.
[07:07] ---
    I'm impressed.
[07:10] ---
    I'm Rocky Meredith. Nice to meet you.
[07:15] ---
    We waited forever at the café,
    and he never showed up.
[07:18] ---
    This is why.
[07:29] ---
    He's good.
[07:39] ---
    S-Samurai?!
[07:53] ---
    We have our 14th person.
[07:57] ---
    Congratulations, Ryoma.
[07:59] ---
    No doubt about it.
[08:02] ---
    So...
[08:04] ---
    ...who's gonna play me next?
[08:09] ---
    Unlike these other guys,
    you're actually strong, right?
[08:14] ---
    Not now, Ryoma.
[08:16] ---
    Didn't you just play all those matches?
[08:19] ---
    I'll play.
[08:21] ---
    Dodo!
[08:23] ---
    How about tiebreak rules?
    First to seven points wins.
[08:26] ---
    Sure.
[08:28] ---
    All right! Beat him, Ryoma.
[08:31] ---
    I plan to beat you all.
[08:38] ---
    Fierce!
[08:43] ---
    Look at that bounce!
[08:44] ---
    You're in high spirits!
[08:50] ---
    Dodo's the Birdman. He'll have trouble
    getting the ball over his head.
[08:56] ---
    Yahoo!
[09:05] ---
    You're so fierce!
[09:08] ---
    No way, is he--
[09:09] ---
    Shorty...
[09:12] ---
    He's actually trying to get it
    over Dodo's head.
[09:15] ---
    Man, you're in high spirits!
[09:32] ---
    Oh, no!
[09:34] ---
    Ryoma, you oka--
[09:39] ---
    He managed to hit a clean return
    from that stance?!
[09:47] ---
    H-Hey, Ryoma. You still wanna go?
[09:50] ---
    That's enough, Ryoma!
[09:54] ---
    You're already on Team USA.
[09:57] ---
    As your captain,
    I cannot allow you to continue.
[10:05] ---
    --Ryoma!
    --Ryoma!
[10:07] ---
    He's fine.
[10:08] ---
    He's just sleeping. To the infirmary.
[10:13] ---
    I'll take him.
[10:22] ---
    Jeez, you always get so worked up.
[10:27] ---
    You made a great debut, Shorty.
[10:33] ---
    "Germany"
[10:46] ---
    Who is that young man
    feeding balls to Volk?
[10:50] ---
    That's Kunimitsu Tezuka.
    He came from Japan to become a pro.
[10:54] ---
    Oh? He's from Japan?
[10:57] ---
    Kunimitsu. Get on the court.
[10:59] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:09] ---
    Get your head in the game. Focus!
[11:13] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:27] ---
    Wh-What was that?!
[11:30] ---
    Did he put an extreme spin
    on the ball to force it out?!
[11:34] ---
    Just like that, Kunimitsu!
[11:36] ---
    Attack from the start to intimidate
    your opponent and gain the upper hand!
[11:40] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --No!
[11:42] ---
    Be aware of the position
    of your grip and elbow!
[11:44] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:45] ---
    Your attacks are too simple!
    Think constantly!
[11:48] ---
    Outsmart your opponent!
[11:50] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:51] ---
    Don't let a prior failed attempt
    affect your next attack!
[11:54] ---
    Letting it go is also a skill!
[11:57] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:04] ---
    Thank you.
[12:07] ---
    You need to strengthen your legs.
[12:09] ---
    That's why your endgame shots faltered.
[12:11] ---
    Three hundred uphill sprints.
[12:13] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:17] ---
    Volk.
[12:18] ---
    Chairman. Is this about
    the contract renewal?
[12:21] ---
    That's one thing I'd like to discuss.
    How about it?
[12:24] ---
    Siegmund Pharmaceuticals wants to offer
    a professional contract to Kunimitsu.
[12:30] ---
    He absolutely lacks the experience
    in playing top-class opponents.
[12:35] ---
    That would become apparent
    if he turned pro now.
[12:37] ---
    But Volk, he's unmistakably
    a talented player.
[12:42] ---
    We'll discuss this once
    Kunimitsu moves up another rank.
[12:46] ---
    After he dominates the U-17
    World Cup with our team.
[13:03] ---
    "Australia"
[13:36] ---
    Let's go.
[13:41] ---
    Wow!
[13:44] ---
    We're in Australia, Marui!
[13:47] ---
    Where are the koalas? And the kangaroos?
[13:49] ---
    Ooh!
[13:51] ---
    --What is it?
    --Bavarois and lamingtons!
[13:53] ---
    Famous Australian desserts!
[13:56] ---
    Sounds sweet.
[13:59] ---
    Calm down, fools.
[14:01] ---
    We've come here to battle.
    Not to sightsee.
[14:05] ---
    S-Sorry, Vice Captain Sanada.
[14:08] ---
    Kin, cheer up.
[14:10] ---
    Koshimae didn't come, after all.
[14:13] ---
    Yeah, even though Echizen
    got onto Team Japan.
[14:18] ---
    That brat.
[14:19] ---
    This is where the U-17 World Cup
    will take place.
[14:24] ---
    It feels like a dream to be here.
[14:27] ---
    What comes ahead won't be a dream.
[14:32] ---
    It'll be hell.
[14:33] ---
    This is where you will learn
    how fearsome the world is.
[14:44] ---
    That's perfect.
[14:46] ---
    Tomorrow, before the actual World Cup,
[14:50] ---
    we will play Pre-World Cup
    exhibition matches.
[14:54] ---
    Each country sends out
    three doubles pairs
[14:56] ---
    consisting of a high schooler
    and middle schooler.
[14:59] ---
    It serves to show ourselves
    to the sponsors and mass media.
[15:03] ---
    Some countries choose not to reveal their
    true strength, but some go all out to win.
[15:08] ---
    The battle has already begun.
[15:11] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[15:13] ---
    Camus and Tristan of Team France.
[15:17] ---
    They're from Team Australia,
    the home team.
[15:20] ---
    Switzerland, Greece...
[15:23] ---
    ...and from the team that's won
    the U-17 World Cup nine years in a row.
[15:28] ---
    Jurgen Volk of Team Germany,
    the top team in the world.
[15:35] ---
    I thought Volk was a pro tennis player...
[15:38] ---
    --Do as you like for a while.
    --Ja.
[15:40] ---
    Tezuka?
[15:42] ---
    Tezuka!
[15:45] ---
    --Oishi.
    --Wh-What are you doing here?
[15:48] ---
    I'm participating in the World
    Cup representing Germany.
[15:51] ---
    Representing Germany? That's amazing!
[15:55] ---
    This is another step to becoming a pro.
[15:58] ---
    I never thought you'd be our opponent.
[16:02] ---
    Yeah. How is everyone?
[16:04] ---
    W-Well... Echizen...
[16:10] ---
    Echizen?
[16:11] ---
    Yeah, Echizen--
[16:16] ---
    Echizen? It's Echizen!
[16:21] ---
    --Hello.
    --What are you doing here?
[16:25] ---
    We tried to contact you.
[16:27] ---
    I see. That's why you rushed over.
[16:30] ---
    What's that about?
[16:31] ---
    You didn't know? Why are you here, then?
[16:35] ---
    You got picked to represent Japan!
[16:44] ---
    Let's take on the world
    together, Echizen.
[16:49] ---
    What a relief. We have all 14 members--
[16:53] ---
    Sorry.
[16:54] ---
    Huh?
[16:56] ---
    I'm playing for the USA.
[17:05] ---
    Bye.
[17:06] ---
    --W-Wait, Echize--
    --Echizen.
[17:13] ---
    Kunimitsu.
[17:14] ---
    Ja.
[17:15] ---
    See you, Oishi.
[17:17] ---
    Oh, wait, Tezuka!
[17:19] ---
    Let's go, Egghead.
[17:21] ---
    B-But, Echizen...
[17:25] ---
    You okay with that, Ryoma?
[17:27] ---
    Yeah.
[17:29] ---
    Echizen...
[17:44] ---
    Oh, the button!
[17:46] ---
    Yes, yes.
[17:56] ---
    What?! G-G-G-Germany?!
[18:04] ---
    S-Sorry.
[18:06] ---
    Of all teams, I drew Germany.
[18:09] ---
    I have bad luck.
[18:11] ---
    Well done, Egghead.
[18:15] ---
    It will be a good opportunity to test
    our skills against Germany--the top team.
[18:22] ---
    Right!
[18:23] ---
    What?!
[18:26] ---
    Why is Koshimae our opponent?!
[18:29] ---
    Sorry. I'm playing for the USA.
[18:32] ---
    That's how he said it.
[18:35] ---
    How cheeky.
[18:37] ---
    That's great.
[18:39] ---
    Now that he's on Team USA,
    I can pound him.
[18:44] ---
    That's true. I'll beat him!
[18:47] ---
    I'd like to have a rematch with him.
[18:49] ---
    Nuh-uh! I'll be the one to beat him!
[18:52] ---
    That's it, Kin. That's the spirit.
[18:55] ---
    Come on! Doesn't anyone
    want Echizen to rejoin our team?
[18:59] ---
    If he's made the decision
    to join Team USA, that's fine.
[19:04] ---
    Well, but...
[19:07] ---
    He doesn't belong to any one country.
[19:10] ---
    He seeks to defeat whoever he wishes to.
    He's always been like that.
[19:16] ---
    That's awesome.
[19:19] ---
    Oh, all right.
[19:21] ---
    One more thing. Tezuka's participating
    as part of Team Germany.
[19:25] ---
    Tezuka's on Team Germany?!
[19:28] ---
    Which means Tezuka might be our opponent
    in tomorrow's Pre-World Cup.
[19:35] ---
    Up against the top team already?
[19:37] ---
    You really are an unlucky,
    useless Egg. Puri.
[19:42] ---
    S-Sorry...
[19:44] ---
    Both Tezuka and Echizen are our opponents?
[19:49] ---
    Things are getting exciting, hm?
[19:52] ---
    Yeah.
[19:53] ---
    Ryoma Echizen, Kunimitsu Tezuka.
    We'll have our revenge!
[20:06] ---
    Ryoma Echizen is representing the US.
[20:09] ---
    He must really want to defeat you.
[20:31] ---
    Guys...
[20:34] ---
    ...the world's ours for the taking.
[20:43] ---
    You got picked to represent Japan!
[20:50] ---
    Echizen.
[20:59] ---
    Hey, there.
[21:01] ---
    We're going into battle tomorrow.
    You should take it easy.
[21:05] ---
    This is nothing.
[21:07] ---
    Man, you're so intense.
[21:11] ---
    Hey, let's play a match.
[21:15] ---
    What?
[21:21] ---
    Nope. You're an ally.
[21:25] ---
    Go to sleep already, Shorty.
[23:10] ---
    Oh? Fuji is up first for Team Japan
    in the exhibition matches?
[23:15] ---
    The second match will be Atobe and...
    Captain Tezuka from Team Germany?!
[23:19] ---
    Next episode,

[23:22] ---
    Oh? This will be fun!

[23:25] ---
    Thanks for drawing the lottery for us.

    "'Unknown Territory'
    Shuichiro Oishi"
[23:28] ---
    I was nervous going with Boss.
[23:30] ---
    Did you think that was really Boss?
[23:32] ---
    --You didn't?! Was it you?!
    --Puri.
[23:35] ---
    You're the one who
    called me "Egghead"?!
[23:38] ---
    Puppina.
