    "Feelings for My Friends"
[01:50] ---
    Ryoma, you went to watch the match
    between Switzerland and Japan yesterday?
[01:55] ---
    Yeah.
[01:56] ---
    How was watching Switzerland up close?
[02:00] ---
    If all goes well, we'll be playing
    Switzerland in the second round
[02:03] ---
    of the Finals Tournament in two days.
[02:07] ---
    I heard that the Japanese athlete
    who played Amadeus put up a good fight.
[02:18] ---
    Ryoga, what's the matter
    with your little brother?
[02:21] ---
    He's been like that since watching
    Japan's match with Switzerland yesterday.
[02:26] ---
    He doesn't look ill.
[02:30] ---
    No idea.
[02:34] ---
    Echizen, who do you
    want to beat right now?
[02:38] ---
    What?
[02:40] ---
    That hesitation will eventually
    cause trouble for Team USA.
[02:46] ---
    Hesitation?
[02:49] ---
    Who do you truly want to beat?
[02:56] ---
    Ryoma, let's play.
[02:58] ---
    Nah, come play me, Ryoma.
[03:02] ---
    Just play each other.
[03:04] ---
    What? Hey, Ryoma!
[03:08] ---
    Hey!
[03:10] ---
    The Finals Tournament is soon. You can't
    go around acting like a spineless wimp.
[03:16] ---
    If you're scared of the stronger teams,
    I can take your place.
[03:20] ---
    Stop it, Maxwell.
[03:23] ---
    The day Ryoma came,
    he beat us real bad. Remember?
[03:26] ---
    We both know how good he is.
[03:39] ---
    Who do you want to beat right now?
[03:42] ---
    Who do I want to beat?
[03:47] ---
    Die!
[03:50] ---
    I'll beat you.
[03:56] ---
    What's the matter, Shorty?
[04:00] ---
    Love troubles?
[04:03] ---
    Go on, tell your big bro.
[04:06] ---
    It's nothing.
[04:09] ---
    Gosh, that's cold.
[04:14] ---
    --Say.
    --Oh?
[04:16] ---
    Feel like telling me now?
[04:18] ---
    Let's play tennis.
[04:23] ---
    Right now.
[04:25] ---
    Nope.
[04:27] ---
    Aren't we teammates?
[04:30] ---
    I haven't seen you play since coming here.
[04:41] ---
    Shorty...
[05:03] ---
    Is Byodoin really the one
    I want to beat right now?
[05:12] ---
    Ryoma!
[05:13] ---
    Ryoma!
[05:15] ---
    Hey, Ryoma!
[05:22] ---
    What are you spacing out for?
[05:24] ---
    You've been acting weird since yesterday.
[05:28] ---
    Maybe you're not feeling well?
[05:30] ---
    Why don't you take today off?
[05:32] ---
    I feel completely fine.
[05:35] ---
    Ryoma.
[05:37] ---
    Get on the court.
[05:40] ---
    Play a practice match with Kiko.
[05:42] ---
    Wow! I'm playing?
[05:44] ---
    Ryoma's in the lineup for the first round
    of the finals against England.
[05:54] ---
    Get on the court.
[05:59] ---
    Apacho!
[06:03] ---
    What's wrong, Ryoma?
[06:05] ---
    You can usually return that.
[06:12] ---
    Dodo, you get on the court.
[06:15] ---
    You got it, Mr. Reinhart!
[06:20] ---
    You're in high spirits, Ryoma!
[06:30] ---
    Come on, Ryoma.
[06:32] ---
    When you first came,
    you had me playing at full tilt.
[06:38] ---
    Alan, you're up. Get on the court.
[06:44] ---
    Gaisel, you next.
[06:47] ---
    Next, Clive.
[06:50] ---
    Next, Don Pachino.
[06:55] ---
    Rocky, you're next.
[07:01] ---
    Maxwell, you're up.
[07:03] ---
    Y-You mean me?!
[07:08] ---
    --Next--
    --H-Hang on!
[07:10] ---
    How long will you make him play?
[07:14] ---
    You're pretty out of breath.
[07:18] ---
    You're playing me next, Ryoma.
[07:32] ---
    You seem to be hesitant, Ryoma.
[07:34] ---
    Jerk!
[07:36] ---
    Hesitant players will hold the team back.
[07:45] ---
    ...will eventually
    cause trouble for Team USA.
[07:51] ---
    So you're taking me
    out of the match with England?
[07:56] ---
    No. You're not worthy
    of being on Team USA.
[08:03] ---
    Hey, Reinhart! That's not very--
[08:06] ---
    I'm sure Reinhart has his reasons.
[08:10] ---
    Yeah, he'd never say that otherwise.
[08:13] ---
    Ryoma, this isn't where you should be.
[08:18] ---
    Where I should be?
[08:21] ---
    You should've already realized
    where you should really be!
[08:27] ---
    Where...
[08:37] ---
    ...I should be?
[08:39] ---
    The place that'll make me stronger.
[08:42] ---
    Yeah... There's only
    one place it could be!
[08:46] ---
    The ones who made me stronger are...
[08:55] ---
    Get out of my way!
[09:19] ---
    Your hesitation has gone.
[09:27] ---
    Thank you, Ralph!
[09:30] ---
    I had expected to train you up
    as a major part of Team USA.
[09:36] ---
    Sorry.
[09:38] ---
    If we go today, we can still make changes
    for the Finals Tournament.
[09:42] ---
    Aw, you were like a little brother to me.
[09:46] ---
    Ryoma, I won't go easy on you if we're
    matched in the Finals Tournament.
[09:51] ---
    If you don't like it there,
    you can always come back. All right?
[09:56] ---
    You cheeky brat!
    I'm glad you're off my back.
[10:00] ---
    It'll be sad to see you go, though.
[10:03] ---
    You guys...
[10:05] ---
    Ryoma, follow the path you believe in.
[10:10] ---
    I will.
[10:11] ---
    You don't need
    that jacket anymore, do you?
[10:23] ---
    Thank you!
[10:38] ---
    Jerk.
[10:48] ---
    Didn't work, huh?
[10:56] ---
    Tell me about the team from the Republic
    of Aramenoma that we'll play in two days.
[11:01] ---
    Unfortunately, I have
    almost no data on them.
[11:04] ---
    None? Even though they're
    playing in the World Cup?
[11:09] ---
    They're a team shrouded with mystery.
[11:12] ---
    They don't allow
    any media reporters there, either.
[11:15] ---
    And only their country's team and staff
    are allowed into their training facility.
[11:21] ---
    A pretentious country.
[11:24] ---
    None of that matters!
[11:26] ---
    Whoever wins, wins!
[11:28] ---
    That's right, Kin. That's the spirit.
[11:30] ---
    Uh...
[11:32] ---
    I can go scout them out.
[11:35] ---
    Momo?
[11:36] ---
    You see, just cheering you all on
    doesn't feel like enough.
[11:40] ---
    I want to do something useful.
[11:42] ---
    Viper, you feel the same, don't you?
[11:46] ---
    You're not clever enough
    to scout out the opponent.
[11:49] ---
    Say what?!
[11:51] ---
    In the finals, Team USA shares a block
    with Switzerland, world-ranked #2,
[11:55] ---
    and Spain, world-ranked #4.
    They'll have to stay on their toes.
[11:58] ---
    In our block, we have a chance
    of playing Tezuka's Team Germany.
[12:02] ---
    Aw, I won't get to play Koshimae?
[12:06] ---
    So boring.
[12:08] ---
    Hm? Koshimae?
[12:12] ---
    Koshimae!
[12:13] ---
    Kin, what are you babbling about?
[12:15] ---
    It's Koshimae!
[12:22] ---
    E-Echizen?!
[12:25] ---
    --Squirt?!
    --Echizen!
[12:27] ---
    Is that Nio? No, he's here.
[12:38] ---
    Hey.
[12:55] ---
    You withdrew from Team USA?!
[12:57] ---
    You think you can do
    whatever you want, Echizen?
[13:01] ---
    Momoshiro.
[13:02] ---
    Why'd you do that?
[13:07] ---
    I'm not mad that you went to Team USA!
[13:10] ---
    But now you shamelessly come back?!
[13:13] ---
    How do you think that makes those
    who didn't make the team feel?
[13:18] ---
    There must be players that didn't make
    Team USA because of you, too!
[13:23] ---
    How can you be so thoughtless--
[13:25] ---
    Momoshiro. Leave it at that.
[13:27] ---
    But Atobe...
[13:29] ---
    I'm the leader of the middle schoolers.
[13:31] ---
    But--
[13:32] ---
    Make him stop, Fuji.
    Aren't you his senior at Seigaku?
[13:36] ---
    Well, it's because I'm his senior that I
    understand where Momo's coming from.
[13:42] ---
    What Echizen has done has not only caused
    trouble for Japan, but also for USA.
[13:51] ---
    Who cares?
[13:52] ---
    Obviously, it's better if
    Koshimae rejoins our team!
[13:56] ---
    He would be a great asset to Team Japan.
[14:01] ---
    Even you, Yukimura?
[14:03] ---
    Momoshiro, haven't you done enough?
[14:06] ---
    If you keep complaining,
    I'll make you eat bitter melon.
[14:09] ---
    To tell the truth,
    I'm on Momoshiro's side.
[14:12] ---
    But I don't see any drawbacks
    from having him rejoin Team Japan.
[14:18] ---
    I don't see why not.
[14:23] ---
    He was chosen for Team Japan
    from the start.
[14:27] ---
    In the case that Ryoma Echizen returned,
[14:32] ---
    Coach Mifune instructed us
    to put him on reserve.
[14:35] ---
    So for now, he will be a support
    member for Team Japan?
[14:41] ---
    You good with that?
[14:45] ---
    --Thanks.
    --Oni!
[14:47] ---
    Non-team members
    will have no further say in this.
[14:51] ---
    Fine.
[14:53] ---
    The Finals Tournament is in two days.
[14:55] ---
    Give it all you've got!
[14:57] ---
    Yes, sir!
[14:59] ---
    Announcing additional
    members due to injuries:
[15:03] ---
    Kazena Kaji for Tono.
[15:07] ---
    Renji Yanagi for Ishida.
[15:11] ---
    Kiyosumi Sengoku for Akutsu.
[15:14] ---
    And Yushi Oshitari for Oishi.
[15:18] ---
    Get back to practice already!
[15:20] ---
    --Yes, sir!
    --All right!
[15:28] ---
    Where... I should be...
[15:32] ---
    What's this?
[15:33] ---
    Non-team members aren't allowed here.
[15:38] ---
    Momo?
[15:42] ---
    Wait, you're not on the team.
[15:46] ---
    What? You're really gonna bring that up?
[15:48] ---
    Wanna play a match?
[15:52] ---
    Uh, sorry for punching you earlier.
[15:56] ---
    It didn't really hurt.
[15:57] ---
    That's 'cause I held back!
[15:59] ---
    That was your chance to say something
    touching like, "I'm sorry, too!"
[16:04] ---
    That'd be a lie.
[16:05] ---
    You're not cute. Not cute at all.
[16:09] ---
    But you're actually super happy
    that Squirt's returned. Aren't you, Momo?
[16:14] ---
    Momo, you're such a good guy.
[16:17] ---
    You took it upon yourself
    to be the bad cop, huh?
[16:21] ---
    You said everything
    that I would've had to say.
[16:24] ---
    Thanks, Momo.
[16:26] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[16:28] ---
    You didn't have to punch me, though.
[16:30] ---
    You just said that it didn't hurt!
[16:33] ---
    Well, if Momoshiro hadn't
    punched you, I would have.
[16:37] ---
    Kaido's punches probably hurt,
    so I'm glad it was Momo.
[16:41] ---
    --See?
    --Don't give me that!
[16:47] ---
    Welcome back, Echizen.
[16:49] ---
    Thanks.
[16:51] ---
    Hey, you'd better not
    half-ass things anymore.
[16:54] ---
    Got it.
[16:56] ---
    I'm surprised Team USA was okay with this.
[16:59] ---
    They told me to follow
    the path I believe in.
[17:03] ---
    The path you believe in...
[17:06] ---
    To go where I should be.
[17:10] ---
    I see.
[17:12] ---
    So the members of Team USA
    helped you realize that?
[17:16] ---
    Yes.
[17:18] ---
    Was it just your USA teammates?
[17:21] ---
    Probability that someone else
    pushed you in the right direction: 100%.
[17:28] ---
    Who do you truly want to beat?
[17:32] ---
    You, Captain.
[17:33] ---
    Give me your real answer, Echizen.
[17:39] ---
    Every person who stands on
    the other side of the net.
[17:43] ---
    I'm sure he'll be happy.
[17:46] ---
    Yeah. Actually, I don't know.
[17:49] ---
    After all, he's currently our rival.
[17:53] ---
    Too bad, so sad. Next week, 'kay?
[18:17] ---
    Die! Just kidding.
[18:24] ---
    Oh? So you learned that shot,
    Ryoma Echizen?
[18:29] ---
    Your brother coaxed you
    into joining Team USA.
[18:34] ---
    I haven't forgotten
    the promise I made with you.
[18:38] ---
    Good. I'll take you on any time.
[18:41] ---
    But only after we take the world.
[18:47] ---
    Hm? We won the first round by default?
[18:50] ---
    The whole Aramenoma team returned
    to their country this morning.
[18:56] ---
    Why so suddenly?
[18:57] ---
    The match was today...
[19:00] ---
    We don't know the reason?
[19:02] ---
    As always, they've closed all their
    news outlets, and the reason is unknown.
[19:09] ---
    No matter, we've moved
    a space forward on the board.
[19:13] ---
    Which means that today,
    we'll go watch other teams' matches
[19:16] ---
    and gather info on them while we're at it.
[19:19] ---
    Especially you middle schoolers...
[19:21] ---
    ...burn the image of the world
    into your eyes.
[19:37] ---
    That's Kunimitsu Tezuka for you.
[19:41] ---
    Even the other team's captain
    is wary of him.
[19:44] ---
    Yeah.
[19:46] ---
    Tezuka...
[19:50] ---
    If Amadeus gets a turn to play,
    they've got no chance of winning.
[19:54] ---
    Switzerland, ranked #2 in the world,
    is sure to get through.
[19:59] ---
    In the prelims, they were defeated 0-3,
[20:03] ---
    but they'll definitely get their payback.
[20:07] ---
    England is dominating...
[20:10] ---
    They're only ranked #7
    in the world, though!
[20:12] ---
    Yeah. Not bad, France, world-ranked #3.
[20:19] ---
    Now, will you come with me, mon amour?
[20:24] ---
    He kissed his racket!
[20:26] ---
    He is the revolutionary who loves
    and is loved by tennis.
[20:32] ---
    Team France captain,
    Leopold Camus de Charpentier.
[20:39] ---
    Je t'aime.
[20:45] ---
    Game and match, France.
[20:47] ---
    6-0.
[20:55] ---
    I feel like I'm watching a TV drama.
[20:58] ---
    Pinnacle of Perfection?
    No, it's something different.
[21:02] ---
    His strength comes from
    his love for tennis.
[21:06] ---
    He loves tennis so much that
    he can hear the voice of tennis.
[21:11] ---
    I-Its voice?
[21:13] ---
    Now that's far too revolutionary.
[21:24] ---
    It's a horse! There's a horse here now!
[21:27] ---
    This is so fun! France is so fun!
[21:30] ---
    That jerk.
[21:36] ---
    Hm? Finished already?
[21:38] ---
    It's not your turn yet, Prince.
[21:41] ---
    I came too early, then?
[21:43] ---
    Is he always riding a horse?
[21:45] ---
    This is so interesting!
[21:48] ---
    It's too much. Team France's
    personalities are too much.
[21:50] ---
    Yeah, but they're
    extraordinarily strong.
[22:00] ---
    Ryoga's not here?
[22:02] ---
    Nope, I haven't seen him
    anywhere since this morning.
[22:06] ---
    All his stuff is gone, too.
[22:09] ---
    This is no longer the place
    he needs to be, then?
[22:14] ---
    The quarterfinals of
    the Finals Tournament tomorrow
[22:18] ---
    will be against Team France,
    #3 world-ranked!
[22:21] ---
    Everyone who watched their match should've
    fixed their skills in their minds.
[22:26] ---
    The match will be a struggle to the death.
[22:28] ---
    But make sure to win!
[22:30] ---
    Yes, sir!
[22:31] ---
    Here's the lineup:
[22:34] ---
    Duke Watanabe!
[22:36] ---
    Ikuto Kimijima!
[22:38] ---
    Jusaburo Mori!
[22:39] ---
    Genichiro Sanada!
[22:41] ---
    Kuranosuke Shiraishi!
[22:44] ---
    Renji Yanagi!
[22:46] ---
    And lastly, filling the open
    middle schooler slot...
[22:54] ---
    ...Ryoma Echizen!
[23:00] ---
    You know the drill.
    We'll take the world!
[23:06] ---
    Yeah!
[23:10] ---
    It looks like Shiraishi has
    something on his mind.
[23:14] ---
    Plus, Team France has got
    these weird poses.
[23:17] ---
    Next time,
    "Beyond the Bible."
[23:18] ---
    "Beyond the Bible"
[23:20] ---
    Prince Kimi, a match is
    no time to be negotiating.
[23:24] ---
    "The Prince of Tennis II
    U-17 World Cup
    Extra Segment"
[23:25] ---
    Akutsu, you're the best!
[23:25] ---
    "'Diamond Dust'
    Jin Akutsu"
[23:27] ---
    Are you being sarcastic?
[23:29] ---
    N-No, not at all! It's the truth!
[23:30] ---
    What? The truth, you say?
[23:32] ---
    Yeah, you're the best.
[23:34] ---
    I lost, you know!
[23:35] ---
    Well, I was talking about your song.
[23:37] ---
    Oh. I see.
[23:39] ---
    
[23:41] ---
