[00:03] ---
    In today's exhibition matches, Germany,
    the reigning champions, will play Japan?
[00:12] ---
    I feel bad for your home team.
    Playing Germany right off the bat.
[00:18] ---
    You got picked to represent Japan!
[00:22] ---
    I'm playing for the USA.
[00:26] ---
    Shorty!
[00:31] ---
    Still missing Japan?
[00:33] ---
    Not really.
[00:34] ---
    Ryoma, are you okay? You seem down.
[00:38] ---
    Got a stomachache?
[00:42] ---
    I couldn't be better.
[00:45] ---
    Never mind the other teams.
    We just need do our best and win.
[00:50] ---
    Even if it's just an exhibition match.
[00:52] ---
    Yeah, I know.
[00:54] ---
    Ryoma, you're in the lineup to play today.
[01:01] ---
    Okay.
[01:03] ---
    Today's the day!
[01:06] ---
    I'm tingling with excitement!
[01:07] ---
    Kin, you'll tire yourself out
    before we even arrive.
[01:11] ---
    Will Tanegashima arrive in time
    for the main matches?
[01:14] ---
    He's coming by boat.
[01:16] ---
    He hates riding on planes, as you know.
[01:19] ---
    The pairs for today's matches will be
    a high schooler and a middle schooler?
[01:24] ---
    Yeah.
[01:25] ---
    I'd like to team up with Atobe.
[01:28] ---
    No, thanks.
[01:30] ---
    I'd love to pair with Prince Kimi.
[01:32] ---
    Prince Kimi! Work it out
    so I can pair with Byodoin, will you?
[01:37] ---
    Hello, Prince Kimi?
[01:39] ---
    Hey, Prince Kimi!
[01:40] ---
    --Hello? Prince Kimi!
    --Be quiet!
[01:42] ---
    --Hey!
    --Be quiet!
[01:44] ---
    Do you want to go home?
[01:45] ---
    No way I'm going home!
[01:47] ---
    I see it! It's the World Cup venue!
[01:55] ---
    The teams from the other
    countries are flooding in.
[02:01] ---
    Yeah.
[02:02] ---
    Switzerland and Australia, the home team,
[02:06] ---
    Greece...
[02:10] ---
    ...and France.
[02:13] ---
    Let's go, boys!
[02:28] ---
    It's time.
[02:31] ---
    All righty then. Let's go, Shorty.
[02:37] ---
    Yup.
[02:42] ---
    The world's ours for the taking. Win.
[02:45] ---
    That's all.
[02:46] ---
    Yeah!
[04:21] ---
    "Pre-World Cup Kicks Off!"
[04:26] ---
    Pre-U-17 World Cup exhibition
    match: Germany versus Japan.
[04:32] ---
    Welcome in both teams!
[04:36] ---
    First, here's Team Japan!
[04:40] ---
    Next, nine-time winners of the World Cup,
    the defending champions...
[04:46] ---
    ...Team Germany!
[04:56] ---
    Nobody's interested in Japan, I see.
[04:59] ---
    Whoa, that's Volk!
    He's a pro tennis player!
[05:02] ---
    Wow, it's really him!
[05:07] ---
    Tezuka...
[05:13] ---
    Exhibition match:
    USA versus Republic of Tube!
[05:26] ---
    That's really him in Team Germany, hm?
[05:32] ---
    That exasperatingly calm expression...
    He hasn't changed.
[05:37] ---
    Yeah, but Tezuka's aura
    has grown even stronger.
[05:42] ---
    I never thought we'd be
    opponents like this.
[05:49] ---
    We will now start the first match.
[05:52] ---
    Get out there and be the first to die.
[05:55] ---
    Oh man, I'm nervous.
[05:58] ---
    We get to make the initial attack
    against the world.
[06:01] ---
    Let's go feel what it's like
    to play the world.
[06:05] ---
    Wait, Siegfried.
[06:07] ---
    What is it, Q･P?
[06:09] ---
    It would be advantageous to ask
    Tezuka regarding Team Japan.
[06:13] ---
    He was present at
    the Team Japan training camp.
[06:20] ---
    He's not German. You think he'd give
    honest info on Team Japan?
[06:25] ---
    Stop that, Siegfried.
[06:27] ---
    No, no, no! It's useless!
[06:33] ---
    First match.
[06:35] ---
    From Germany:
    Michael Bismarck, Elmar Siegfried.
[06:40] ---
    From Japan: Duke Watanabe, Shusuke Fuji.
[06:43] ---
    Germany! Germany! Germany!
[06:50] ---
    The best of one set match.
    Germany to serve!
[06:54] ---
    Hey, Japanese kid.
[06:59] ---
    Just pray that your little friends
    don't hate tennis after I'm--
[07:08] ---
    Duke Home Run.
[07:16] ---
    0-15.
[07:19] ---
    Is that what you wanted, Boss?
[07:23] ---
    He changed the mood of
    the whole arena with one shot.
[07:27] ---
    All right! We threw the first punch
    against Germany, the champs!
[07:30] ---
    Mister Home Run scored!
[07:32] ---
    Well, well.
[07:34] ---
    I wasn't expecting you to help much.
    You can just stay in that corner.
[07:39] ---
    Tut-tut. I can win this match on my own.
[07:43] ---
    He's serious, huh?
[07:45] ---
    Yes.
[07:47] ---
    That power of yours is a nuisance.
[07:50] ---
    But partners with strong personalities
    break down more easily.
[07:57] ---
    For instance, with this
    vacillating no-spin shot,
[08:00] ---
    I'll simply make you miss
    the super sweet spot,
[08:03] ---
    inhibiting your Duke Home Run.
    You'll be forced into defense.
[08:07] ---
    Tut-tut. You can't win
    unless you can attack!
[08:12] ---
    Fuji's running to the net?
[08:14] ---
    Why doesn't he use his Triple Counter...
    His Bear Drop?
[08:18] ---
    Back then, I swore
    to do three things, Tezuka.
[08:24] ---
    Shusuke Fuji can be reborn!
[08:28] ---
    0-30.
[08:30] ---
    He returned a smash with a smash.
[08:33] ---
    Critical Wind: Hollyhock Blizzard.
[08:41] ---
    I no longer play defensive tennis.
[08:46] ---
    Tut-tut.
[08:49] ---
    Fuji ran up to the net again!
[08:51] ---
    He really isn't using
    his Triple Counters?!
[08:53] ---
    This is my new playing style.
[08:57] ---
    Hollyhock Blizzard!
[09:00] ---
    Game, Japan. 1-0.
[09:02] ---
    What an astonishing feat.
[09:04] ---
    Returning a smash with a smash?
    He must be a prodigy.
[09:09] ---
    Fuji prides himself in his counters. I'm
    surprised he's playing so aggressively.
[09:15] ---
    This differs greatly from
    our data on Team Japan.
[09:18] ---
    He's like a wholly different player.
[09:20] ---
    What in the world happened to him?
[09:24] ---
    Fuji...
[09:26] ---
    Tezuka, before you left for
    Germany to become a pro,
[09:31] ---
    I challenged you to a match.
[09:33] ---
    I knew I couldn't win,
    but I challenged you...
[09:37] ---
    ...intending to quit tennis
    after you defeated me.
[09:43] ---
    Goodbye, Kunimitsu Tezuka.
[09:48] ---
    Why, Fuji?!
[09:55] ---
    This is pointless. There's no way
    you can beat Tezuka right now.
[10:13] ---
    T-Tezuka, how come?
[10:15] ---
    Why did you quit mid-match?
[10:17] ---
    Don't you feel bad for Fuji?
    Finish your match--
[10:20] ---
    I won't play Fuji anymore as he is now.
[10:35] ---
    Fuji...
[11:15] ---
    I bet Fuji can see Tezuka.
[11:23] ---
    Until now, you've been my guide.
[11:27] ---
    It's thanks to you
    that I've come this far.
[11:30] ---
    Because you were always there
    to guide me to the right path.
[11:35] ---
    And now you're going to Germany
    to become a pro?
[11:40] ---
    I have no vision for tennis;
    there's no meaning in it for me.
[11:44] ---
    Now I'll no longer have a guide, either!
[11:49] ---
    I thought that if I suffered a
    humiliating loss, I'd come to hate tennis.
[11:53] ---
    But...
[11:55] ---
    ...you won't let me quit tennis, huh?
[12:02] ---
    Fuji...
[12:05] ---
    ...you must find your own path.
[12:09] ---
    Tezuka...
[12:12] ---
    You abandoned the match because
    you didn't want to be my guide?
[12:20] ---
    You did it for my sake, since I've
    always depended on you too much.
[12:25] ---
    You're always one step ahead of me.
[12:30] ---
    In that case, I'll go
    one step further than that!
[12:40] ---
    Game and match...
[12:44] ---
    ...Shusuke Fuji.
[12:53] ---
    Thank you, Kunimitsu Tezuka.
[13:12] ---
    Game to Japan. 5-5.
[13:15] ---
    Tut-tut. They beat us again.
[13:18] ---
    Fuji did it.
[13:20] ---
    He's moving well.
[13:21] ---
    We showed them, Boss!
[13:24] ---
    The show's just getting started.
    Right, Duke?
[13:28] ---
    Can I go wild now, Boss?
[13:34] ---
    Play... ball!
[13:38] ---
    What the heck is he doing?!
[13:40] ---
    How shameless.
[13:42] ---
    He's so funny!
[13:50] ---
    0-15.
[13:51] ---
    Wow!
[13:53] ---
    Even if you managed to hit that,
    it'd crush your racket!
[13:57] ---
    Duke was formerly known as "Destroyer."
[14:03] ---
    Game to Japan. 6-5.
[14:11] ---
    Good work, Ryoma.
[14:13] ---
    I barely worked up a sweat.
[14:15] ---
    It's 'cause you guys dominated
    and barely got worked up.
[14:20] ---
    They were just weak. It's not my fault.
[14:25] ---
    At this rate, Ralph and I won't get
    a turn to play in the main matches.
[14:30] ---
    The main matches
    won't pan out like today's.
[14:32] ---
    We'll be up against the world's best.
[14:35] ---
    Go, Mister Destroyer!
[14:40] ---
    All right! They've got this!
[14:42] ---
    Not yet.
[14:45] ---
    Nice, Fuji!
[14:46] ---
    You're up, Siegfried!
[14:51] ---
    A smash!
[14:52] ---
    It's Fuji's Hollyhock Blizzard!
[14:54] ---
    I got to thoroughly study
    your play habits.
[14:59] ---
    Along with your humiliation!
[15:02] ---
    He was outmaneuvered!
[15:04] ---
    Duke can get it!
[15:06] ---
    Too bad! All your Home Runs
    will go out from that angle!
[15:11] ---
    Duke Bunt.
[15:15] ---
    Duke has a fundamentally
    gentle play style.
[15:19] ---
    You did good, Siegfried!
[15:25] ---
    Triple Counter, White Dragon.
[15:44] ---
    Fuji...
[15:46] ---
    I've been waiting
    all this time for the real you.
[15:50] ---
    Until the main matches.
[15:57] ---
    Game and match, Japan!
[16:01] ---
    --All right!
    --Amazing!
[16:03] ---
    Got our first win against Germany! Yes!
[16:07] ---
    We will now continue to the second match.
[16:09] ---
    You two are next. Go experience Hell.
[16:14] ---
    Will I be a fitting partner for him?
[16:17] ---
    Everything you say gets on my nerves.
[16:19] ---
    Did Japan win even a single game?
[16:22] ---
    Germany has never lost a single match,
    even in the exhibition.
[16:26] ---
    Whoa, Japan beat Germany
    in the first match!
[16:32] ---
    Seriously? They beat Germany?
[16:34] ---
    Japan's pretty good, Ryoma.
[16:36] ---
    I guess Germany's no big deal.
[16:39] ---
    Just say it as it is.
[16:41] ---
    Whatever.
[16:42] ---
    Well, as the champs,
    Germany won't take this sitting down.
[16:47] ---
    Q･P! Q･P! Q･P!
[16:52] ---
    Why is the crowd so excited?
[16:55] ---
    With all these eyes on me, I might not be
    able to show even a tenth of my strength.
[17:01] ---
    Why are they chanting about Kewpie Mayo?
[17:04] ---
    Maybe 'cause he'll fry his
    opponents in three minutes?
[17:07] ---
    Q･P. It stands for "Quality of Perfect."
[17:11] ---
    Because of that nickname,
    he made it his legal name.
[17:15] ---
    His real name and birthplace are unknown.
[17:18] ---
    He's received elite tennis training
    since he was a baby.
[17:21] ---
    Cream of the crop at his tennis academy.
[17:24] ---
    He's the brains behind Team Germany.
[17:27] ---
    They say he's the greatest masterpiece
    of German Tennis Academy.
[17:30] ---
    We're in huge trouble!
[17:32] ---
    Team Germany is fired up to win
    their 10th World Cup.
[17:37] ---
    Go, Kunimitsu.
[17:41] ---
    Yes, sir.
[17:43] ---
    Tezuka!
[17:44] ---
    Thanks for leading everyone here, Atobe.
[17:49] ---
    Hm? An arrogant thing to say.
[17:52] ---
    Second match.
[17:53] ---
    For Germany: Q･P, Kunimitsu Tezuka.
[17:57] ---
    For Japan: Kanata Irie, Keigo Atobe.
[18:01] ---
    Q･P from Team Germany is playing.
[18:04] ---
    They're really going for it.
[18:05] ---
    They won't give up another win.
[18:07] ---
    And? Who's his partner?
[18:09] ---
    Kunimitsu Tezuka.
[18:27] ---
    What's wrong, Atobe?
[18:30] ---
    How long will you kneel there for?
[18:32] ---
    Germany! Germany! Germany!
[18:43] ---
    Is this how strong you've become?
[18:51] ---
    Atobe...
[19:00] ---
    What are you doing, Keigo Atobe?!
[19:07] ---
    Accelerate your evolution?!
    Stop kidding yourself!
[19:15] ---
    I...
[19:21] ---
    Game and match, Germany.
[19:25] ---
    I suppose there was no need
    to use a tenth of my strength.
[19:30] ---
    It's thanks to you, Kunimitsu.
[19:32] ---
    This is... This is the world.
[19:37] ---
    Germany won 6-0.
[19:40] ---
    Thought so.
[19:43] ---
    Germany! Germany! Germany!
[19:51] ---
    Wait! Where are you going, Atobe?!
[19:56] ---
    Atobe! The matches aren't over!
[19:58] ---
    Wait!
[20:03] ---
    I discovered what I'm lacking.
[20:08] ---
    I see. Then go.
[20:17] ---
    Damn it! We're still evenly tied 1-1.
[20:20] ---
    Let's beat them in this last match!
[20:23] ---
    Volk! Volk! Volk!
[20:27] ---
    Volk's playing an exhibition match?!
[20:29] ---
    Looks like we've angered Germany.
[20:32] ---
    Jurgen Borisovich Volk,
    nicknamed the "Philosopher for Victory."
[20:38] ---
    He turned pro last year
    and remains undefeated.
[20:41] ---
    Whoa, what?! Volk from
    Team Germany's actually playing.
[20:45] ---
    Volk?
[20:46] ---
    Oh man, Germany really wants
    to destroy Japan.
[20:50] ---
    I'm going to watch the Germany match.
[20:52] ---
    Oh, scouting them out?
[20:54] ---
    Ryoma, you should come, too.
[20:56] ---
    No, I don't need to.
[20:58] ---
    Ralph, he's a contrary kid,
    so direct orders won't work.
[21:04] ---
    Let's go. You still don't know
    what the world is like.
[21:09] ---
    Or how Japan will play facing the world.
[21:14] ---
    Volk! Volk! Volk!
[21:23] ---
    Allow me to play.
[21:26] ---
    Do as you wish.
[21:28] ---
    Which of us should play?
[21:31] ---
    Hey, guys...
[21:35] ---
    ...will you let me play?
[23:10] ---
    The next doubles pair
    is Tokugawa and Yukimura.
[23:13] ---
    An interesting pair.
[23:15] ---
    What? Yukimura lost his five senses?
[23:18] ---
    Next time,
    "A Moment Ahead in the Future."
[23:19] ---
    "A Moment Ahead in the Future"
[23:21] ---
    Yukimura, do you remember our match?
[23:25] ---
    "The Prince of Tennis II
    U-17 World Cup"
    "Extra Segment"
[23:25] ---
    Tezuka, you did great.
[23:25] ---
    "'Waga Yume no Daisho'
    Kunimitsu Tezuka"
[23:27] ---
    Yeah, it was a meaningful match.
[23:29] ---
    What was going through your head
    during the match?
[23:32] ---
    I can't tell you that.
[23:34] ---
    You can figure it out if you listen
    carefully to this character song--
[23:37] ---
    Fuji, not another word.
[23:39] ---
    
[23:41] ---
