    Volk! Volk! Volk!
[00:05] ---
    Allow me to play.
[00:08] ---
    Do as you wish.
[00:10] ---
    Which of us should play?
[00:12] ---
    Hey, guys...
[00:16] ---
    ...will you let me play?
[01:50] ---
    "A Moment Ahead in the Future"
[01:55] ---
    Now starting the third match of Germany
    versus Japan U-17 World Cup exhibition.
[02:03] ---
    For Germany:
    Jurgen Borisovich Volk, A・Frankensteiner.
[02:07] ---
    For Japan:
    Kazuya Tokugawa, Seiichi Yukimura.
[02:11] ---
    Germany to serve.
[02:15] ---
    What speed! This is the difference
    in skill between an amateur and a pro?
[02:20] ---
    However...
[02:24] ---
    Tokugawa created a Black Hole
    behind himself!
[02:32] ---
    Closely watch the ball, Frankensteiner!
[02:34] ---
    0-15.
[02:36] ---
    Did you dream that
    you scored that smash?
[02:49] ---
    Game, Japan. 1-0.
[02:53] ---
    Wake up. Aufwachen, Frankensteiner!
[02:58] ---
    What happened?
[02:59] ---
    We're playing doubles.
    I'm right behind you.
[03:03] ---
    Japan...
[03:05] ---
    Yukimura, with your infallible tennis,
[03:09] ---
    you discourage your opponents
    and give them the yips.
[03:13] ---
    And Tokugawa, you can return any shot
[03:17] ---
    by tearing a hole in space and
    momentarily suspending the ball in a void.
[03:23] ---
    You play intriguing tennis.
[03:25] ---
    You can learn much
    from a top-class player.
[03:28] ---
    And also from facing a great obstacle
    before the main World Cup matches.
[03:32] ---
    Irie, will Atobe be okay?
[03:36] ---
    Yeah. I hope he completes
    his evolution in time.
[03:39] ---
    Did you intentionally...
[03:42] ---
    I wonder.
[03:43] ---
    It wasn't self-sacrifice, Byodoin.
    I know you dislike that.
[03:47] ---
    It was because I couldn't have
    beat them even at my full strength.
[03:54] ---
    I just did what was necessary to triumph
    in the main World Cup matches.
[03:59] ---
    I understand Atobe's
    evolution best, after all.
[04:08] ---
    What the heck is going on?
[04:10] ---
    Things are getting interesting.
[04:14] ---
    He used this first game to
    analyze each of our tennis styles...
[04:19] ---
    ...captain of the reigning champions and
    pro tennis player, Jurgen Borisovich Volk.
[04:29] ---
    As Tokugawa said, Volk is sure step it up.
[04:34] ---
    If so...
[04:42] ---
    He created a Black Hole
    and ran up to the net!
[04:45] ---
    He's good. That's a nice approach, too.
[04:48] ---
    But... You have
    the worst possible opponent.
[05:01] ---
    0-15.
[05:03] ---
    He aimed for an opening in Black Hole!
[05:05] ---
    He has unparalleled control.
[05:08] ---
    He's a new star in the German
    tennis world, A・Frankensteiner.
[05:13] ---
    Also known as the Tennis Cyborg.
[05:17] ---
    Frankensteiner, use your knees
    when preparing for a return!
[05:21] ---
    Don't let your confidence
    make you slack on form!
[05:24] ---
    Jawohl.
[05:26] ---
    He got a return ace
    and is still getting yelled at.
[05:29] ---
    They're so strict.
[05:31] ---
    This is Germany we're playing.
    I already foresaw this!
[05:34] ---
    How about this?
[05:38] ---
    Tokugawa created an even more
    massive Black Hole!
[05:48] ---
    Nice! Tokugawa led him to one side
    and outmaneuvered him!
[05:52] ---
    He's quick to cover his partner.
[06:00] ---
    Wow, what an intense rally!
[06:08] ---
    Game, Germany. 1-1.
[06:11] ---
    That was close!
[06:13] ---
    This isn't looking good.
[06:16] ---
    All right. Let's regain control
    of this match, Yukimura.
[06:20] ---
    Y-Yukimura?
[06:24] ---
    It can't be!
[06:26] ---
    Germany to serve.
[06:30] ---
    15-0.
[06:32] ---
    Yukimura! Yukimura!
[06:34] ---
    No way, Captain Yukimura...
[06:38] ---
    He's completely lost his five senses.
[06:41] ---
    Shouldn't you be paying more attention?
[06:45] ---
    Even with me by his side...
[06:50] ---
    Tokugawa, you can't be serious.
[06:52] ---
    You created a Black Hole to protect
    Yukimura and will take them on alone?!
[07:00] ---
    Tokugawa!
[07:01] ---
    He keeps creating Black Holes
    in front of Yukimura.
[07:05] ---
    Black Hole greatly burdens the body.
    He can last 30 minutes at the most.
[07:10] ---
    He can't possibly rally
    while protecting Yukimura!
[07:14] ---
    Fool, I told you before that it's
    impossible to take the world with justice.
[07:18] ---
    Byodoin!
[07:19] ---
    Before we left for the World Cup,
    he told me this:
[07:25] ---
    "I'll prove that I can take
    the world with justice."
[07:31] ---
    Game, Germany. 4-1.
[07:40] ---
    Playing past the time limit
    will shorten his tennis career.
[07:44] ---
    Successive Black Holes is too reckless.
[07:46] ---
    But with Yukimura in that state...
[07:49] ---
    That middle schooler
    on Team Japan is acting strangely.
[08:01] ---
    The tennis ball...
[08:03] ---
    Oh, yeah, it's my serve next game.
[08:10] ---
    Up until now, I've stolen the senses
    from countless opponents.
[08:15] ---
    And I eventually became
    known as "Child of God."
[08:20] ---
    When you lose your senses,
[08:23] ---
    it's so dark, creepy, and frightening.
[08:28] ---
    To tell the truth, I'm scared.
[08:31] ---
    Japan to serve.
[08:45] ---
    Yukimura!
[08:47] ---
    Captain Yukimura!
[08:48] ---
    J-Just how can he overcome Yips?
[08:52] ---
    It's impossible for him to escape
    that darkness on his own.
[08:56] ---
    Only one has ever done it.
[09:00] ---
    How did that boy overcome this?
[09:09] ---
    I can't see. I can't hear.
[09:13] ---
    I can't even feel anything.
[09:16] ---
    Everyone who encountered this
    came to hate tennis.
[09:20] ---
    But that boy...
[09:22] ---
    Tennis is fun!
[09:25] ---
    That's right. That boy recalled the fun
    in tennis--something we had forgotten.
[09:32] ---
    Then overcame Yips by opening the door
    to the Pinnacle of Perfection
[09:36] ---
    and defeated me.
[09:39] ---
    To have fun playing tennis...
[09:42] ---
    I've always pursued victory above
    all else. Am I capable of having fun?
[09:48] ---
    Y-Yukimura!
[09:55] ---
    It's an incurable disease of
    unknown cause. It's fairly serious.
[10:01] ---
    According to the doctor,
    he'll never play tennis again.
[10:15] ---
    I'm incapable of having fun
    playing tennis.
[10:22] ---
    Yukimura...
[10:24] ---
    To achieve victory, you must experience
    the equivalent amount of pain.
[10:30] ---
    I can't have fun playing tennis.
[10:33] ---
    But I can't give up tennis!
[10:37] ---
    Even if I can't see the ball...
[10:40] ---
    Even if I can't hear anything...
[10:42] ---
    And if I can't even feel
    the ball against the racket...
[10:46] ---
    ...the happiness I have in being able
    to play tennis is second to none!
[10:52] ---
    This is no time to have
    my senses stolen away!
[10:59] ---
    C-Captain Yukimura!
[11:01] ---
    He overcame Yips on his own!
[11:05] ---
    Yukimura!
[11:06] ---
    Sorry for the trouble I caused, Tokugawa!
[11:09] ---
    Seems like that middle schooler
    regained his senses.
[11:15] ---
    Succumbing to Yips is a result
    from your lack of resolve.
[11:19] ---
    But I'll admit that you
    overcame it on your own.
[11:23] ---
    He outmaneuvered Yukimura?!
[11:27] ---
    How is he still
    so cool-headed?! Jeez, pros!
[11:30] ---
    Although Yukimura regained
    his senses, they're still behind.
[11:34] ---
    Don't worry, Yukimura!
    You take care of the left side!
[11:37] ---
    Tokugawa!
[11:39] ---
    Tokugawa's especially sharp today.
[11:42] ---
    Tokugawa's intuition can
    sometimes be scarily accurate.
[11:47] ---
    Is this his Premonition?
[11:51] ---
    His Premonition is remarkably keen today.
[11:54] ---
    Seriously? They're playing Germany,
    the defending champs.
[11:57] ---
    Against a pro!
[11:59] ---
    So Team Japan's first win
    wasn't just a fluke.
[12:03] ---
    I doubt Germany will let it end here.
[12:06] ---
    It's a poach! Center!
[12:11] ---
    Yukimura, a strong cross
    to the opposite side!
[12:16] ---
    Tokugawa!
[12:17] ---
    His Premonitions are spot on!
[12:20] ---
    "Then predict this, Tokugawa!!"
[12:20] ---
    Na dann, prognostizieren
    den mal, Tokugawa!
[12:25] ---
    A slice lob, Yukimura!
[12:33] ---
    A drop shot is coming!
[12:39] ---
    I'll leave it to you, Yukimura.
[12:43] ---
    He set up a Black Hole
    by the net in advance.
[12:48] ---
    30-0.
[12:50] ---
    What's going on?!
[12:51] ---
    It's not just Tokugawa. Even Yukimura
    is predicting the next shots.
[12:55] ---
    Can Yukimura use Premonition--
[12:57] ---
    It's not Premonition.
    He no longer has a shadow of doubt.
[13:03] ---
    Volk?! I can't believe it.
[13:06] ---
    Their skills are being drawn together.
[13:11] ---
    Howling, huh?
[13:30] ---
    So they managed to draw
    their skills together to activate Howling.
[13:34] ---
    Tokugawa's Premonition skill
    and Yukimura's Yips skill
[13:39] ---
    resonated with each other
    to create a new super skill,
[13:44] ---
    Sechster Sinn--Sixth Sense.
[13:47] ---
    I never thought to see Japanese players
    with frightening skills besides Kunimitsu.
[13:52] ---
    We created Sixth Sense?!
[13:55] ---
    Yes, I could clearly see
    Frankensteiner's move.
[13:59] ---
    Did I see it before he hit?!
[14:04] ---
    They've finally done it.
[14:06] ---
    Those two are crazy good.
[14:09] ---
    Howling... Those two might be able
    to show us a stunning upset.
[14:20] ---
    A poach!
[14:21] ---
    Game, Japan. 2-5.
[14:23] ---
    Unbelievable! That pair
    from Japan is incredible!
[14:27] ---
    Sure, this is doubles, but they won
    a last-minute game against a pro!
[14:30] ---
    Their Howling is a nuisance.
[14:34] ---
    Kunimitsu, why did Volk
    choose you as his training partner?
[14:40] ---
    Could he be interested in your skills?
[14:43] ---
    Coming to a world-class match,
    I thought I'd get to witness Howling.
[14:47] ---
    I never thought it'd be
    someone on our own team.
[14:51] ---
    Game, Japan. 3-5.
[15:00] ---
    Amazing. I can clearly see
    a moment ahead in the future.
[15:03] ---
    Is this Sixth Sense?
[15:05] ---
    0-15.
[15:06] ---
    Wow, Yukimura and Tokugawa
    are predicting all of Germany's shots!
[15:11] ---
    --Win this, Japan!
[15:12] ---
    --Yukimura...
    --Win this, Japan!
[15:15] ---
    Yes, very clever.
    Hitting to the opposite side?
[15:18] ---
    But as long as I possess Sixth Sense,
    all your plays are of the past!
[15:27] ---
    15-15.
[15:31] ---
    I wonder if you can see the future
    where we take you down?
[15:36] ---
    Your Howling came as a surprise.
[15:39] ---
    But you lack the physical ability
    to utilize it to the fullest.
[15:49] ---
    I see it!
[15:54] ---
    30-15.
[15:57] ---
    Even Tokugawa's racket...
[15:59] ---
    That's Volk's Wirbel Taufe.
[16:03] ---
    He hit a shot that they can't return
    even if they could foresee it.
[16:07] ---
    Germany! Germany! Germany!
[16:13] ---
    Two more points!
[16:16] ---
    If we can't return that shot,
    we can't win!
[16:20] ---
    Tokugawa!
[16:23] ---
    He stopped it with Black Hole!
[16:25] ---
    Go, Mister Tokugawa!
[16:36] ---
    Surrender.
[16:46] ---
    Don't give up.
[16:50] ---
    Ryoma Echizen?!
[16:54] ---
    K-Koshimae's here!
[16:57] ---
    Don't you still have someone
    you'd give your own life to beat?
[17:03] ---
    Of course. Though,
    he's currently a teammate.
[17:09] ---
    Oh?
[17:11] ---
    Japan would get thrashed
    if you were to play USA right now.
[17:15] ---
    Don't interfere, Ryoma Echizen.
[17:18] ---
    This match isn't over.
[17:20] ---
    His expression changed.
[17:24] ---
    Sorry, Yukimura.
[17:27] ---
    Tokugawa.
[17:28] ---
    40-15. Match point, Germany.
[17:32] ---
    Boy?
[17:36] ---
    This match...
[17:37] ---
    ...isn't over!
[17:39] ---
    One more point and the match is decided.
[17:41] ---
    Even if you know where Volk
    will hit his Wirbel Taufe,
[17:45] ---
    the probability of return is less than 3%.
[17:47] ---
    Man, isn't there anything
    they can do, Inui?!
[17:50] ---
    As Sadaharu stated,
[17:52] ---
    the wrist is not structurally able
    to withstand that spiral spin.
[18:02] ---
    What is that stance?
[18:05] ---
    His hunger is finally back!
[18:10] ---
    The Divine Path of the Asura, huh?
[18:16] ---
    Haven't given up yet?
[18:20] ---
    It's that shot again!
[18:22] ---
    I won't surrender. I still need to
    prove to the world... prove to him!
[18:36] ---
    He returned it!
[18:38] ---
    Ah, you stabilized the racket
    with your arm to return Wirbel Taufe?
[18:44] ---
    But how much spin can your body withstand?
[18:48] ---
    Tokugawa is taking Captain Yukimura's
    shots for him, too!
[18:51] ---
    Tokugawa...
[18:52] ---
    After all that, you still cling
    to your sense of justice?
[19:07] ---
    Don't, Yukimura!
[19:22] ---
    You've shown me your tenacity, Team Japan.
[19:27] ---
    Game and match. Germany, 6-3.
[19:34] ---
    Announcing the results of Germany versus
    Japan U-17 World Cup exhibition match:
[19:40] ---
    Germany is victorious
    with two wins and one loss.
[19:45] ---
    We hear thunderous applause
    for Team Japan, as well!
[19:57] ---
    One win and two losses against Germany,
    the defending champs.
[20:00] ---
    An overwhelming defeat,
    but we're warmed up now.
[20:09] ---
    Ryoma Echizen.
[20:14] ---
    I must apologize to you.
[20:18] ---
    For what?
[20:20] ---
    You were forced to withdraw from
    training camp because you saved me, right?
[20:24] ---
    Don't get the wrong idea, Tokugawa.
[20:28] ---
    Even if I've gotta make
    an enemy of Team Japan,
[20:31] ---
    I will beat who I want
    to beat with tennis.
[20:34] ---
    Of course you will.
[20:36] ---
    One day, I'll settle things with him, too.
[20:39] ---
    But for now, we'll become top of the world
    in the U-17 World Cup--
[20:42] ---
    The ones who'll become
    No. 1 in the world...
[20:45] ---
    ...will be Team USA.
[22:28] ---
    Michael...
[22:30] ---
    I'm to study business administration
    in England starting next year?
[22:35] ---
    Yes, that is correct, Master Keigo.
[22:38] ---
    Cancel that!
[22:39] ---
    What do you mean?!
    What will your grandfather say?!
[22:42] ---
    You don't mean to abandon your family?!
[22:49] ---
    Tezuka, to become a pro,
[22:51] ---
    you chose to forego your place
    on Team Japan to go to Germany.
[22:54] ---
    What does he possess that I lack?
[22:59] ---
    Resolve!
[23:10] ---
    This World Cup is
    completely unpredictable.
[23:13] ---
    There's some guy on
    a horse challenging me.
[23:16] ---
    What the heck is tennis on horseback?
[23:19] ---
    "Prince vs Prince"
[23:19] ---
    Next time,
    "Prince vs Prince."
[23:22] ---
    I'm still gonna win, though.
[23:24] ---
    "The Prince of Tennis II
    U-17 World Cup"
    "Extra Segment"
[23:25] ---
    Volk, I finally know what it is
    that you possess but I lack.
[23:25] ---
    "'Gewinner'
    Jurgen Borisovich Volk"
[23:29] ---
    They call you "Quality of Perfect."
    What could you possibly lack?
[23:33] ---
    That's you singing the song in
    the background, yes?
[23:36] ---
    So what you lack is your own
    character song?!
[23:39] ---
    
[23:41] ---
