Taro,
Morning, Dad,
Breakfast is just about ready,
I\'ve decided to go back to Japan,
Japan!
September, Paris,
Nearly a month has passed since the first,
International Junior Youth Tournament in France,
You said it yourself
when you were trying to decide if you should play for Japan Junior Youth,
Better to regret action than to regret inaction, remember?
Yeah,
The way you fought so hard inspired me,
I\'m going to give painting Mt, Fuji another shot,
I\'ll be rooting for you, Dad,
I may still not be able to paint Mt, Fuji to a level I\'m satisfied with,
But better to try and fail, right?
Yup!
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
EPISODE 38 TO A NEW ERA!
It\'s the final of the Fall Rookie Tournament here in Shizuoka,
FALL ROOKIE TOURNAMENT - FINAL NANKATSU MS VS OTOMO MS,
In the second half, we\'ve got Nankatsu MS vs Otomo MS, 0-0,
According to my clock, we\'re already thirty minutes in,
and now only additional time remaining,
Will we go into overtime?
Oh, and emerging from the melee is Otomo MS captain, Nitta,
All right, go, Nitta!
Defense, guys,
Falcon Shot!
Goal! Finally, it\'s Otomo MS with the first point!
And that, folks, is the end of the game,
We did it, we won!
We took down Nankatsu!
All right!
Otomo MS wins 1-0!
They prevented Nankatsu MS\'s four-peat,
Nitta did it!
And with that, Nankatsu\'s official three-year winning streak
comes to an end,
We couldn\'t pull through,
I guess things just won\'t ever be the same without you guys,
Hyuga!
Whoever it\'ll be, Otomo MS or Nankatsu MS, it doesn\'t matter,
Toho Academy MS will make it a two-in-a-row
at Nationals with Takeshi leading,
And you better believe we\'ll be there ushering Toho Academy HS to victory!
Wakashimazu and I are already practicing at the high school,
And of course we\'re gonna be on the roster in the spring,
Humph, we\'re all going to Nankatsu HS!
Then we\'ll take down Toho,
I\'ll see you in high school soccer next winter,
Later,
Wait, you\'re not going say hi to Tsubasa?
Tsubasa\'s heading to Brazil,
We shared the national title this last year of middle school,
Until you come back, I won\'t be giving up Japan\'s number one spot to anyone,
So get going already and go pro in Brazil,
The next time we meet we\'ll be representing Japan again,
No need for tears, guys, You gave it your all,
B-But your guys\' winning record, we,,,
Records are meant to be broken,
Use that frustration and put it into practice tomorrow,
Okay!
Oh, so Hyuga was there,
We\'re retired, but it doesn\'t mean we can\'t go to practice sometimes,
If we don\'t, then Hyuga and his team will totally be better than us,
You\'re right,
Same goes for me, Will you look after the underclassmen?
What?
Yeah, Katagiri introduced me to the top team at Hamana,
I\'m practicing with them starting tomorrow,
What?! That Hamana?!
- Yeah, - That\'s great,
Congrats, you\'ll do great,
Yeah, thanks guys,
HAMBURG,
Hey, easy!
I swore to Team Japan,
I won\'t go back home till I go pro,
Wakabayashi, call from the front office,
Got it,
Hello, Wakabayashi speaking,
What?
A contract to go pro?!
Our regular goalie, Mike, is injured,
Doctor says six months for any kind of recovery,
So we need a new goalie,
I want to sign a professional contract with you right away,
We\'ve always thought the only one
to defend Hamburg would be you,
This is a golden opportunity,
I\'m flattered that you have so much faith in me,
Of course, the answer is, yes,
But I have a favor to ask,
What?
While I\'m living in Germany, I still want to be able to play for Japan,
You might think this is silly, but whenever Japan makes it to world champion,
my dream is to be there with them as goalie,
First and foremost, I want to sign as a Japanese player,
and if there\'s an opportunity to play for Japan, I want that to take priority,
I made a promise to a fellow player for Japan,
So,,,
So fast!
This is incredible!
What do you think of Tsubasa?
I\'d like him to play for us right now,
He may come up a little short during contact play,
but his technique and speed more than make up for it,
He\'s simply outstanding when he\'s got the ball,
Yes,
Once he becomes an adult and puts in a little more training in Brazil,
he\'ll without a doubt carry Team Japan,
Just as I thought, Tsubasa already has the skills to be pro,
I think it\'s about time to put it on the agenda,
Tsubasa\'s training with Hamana continued,
PARIS,
Thanks, everyone, for seeing me off,
Misaki, this is from all of us,
We weren\'t sure what to get, but we thought this would be best,
A soccer ball and training gear,
Thanks,
Take care of yourself, okay?
Keep training back in Japan, too, okay, Misaki?
Okay,
No matter how many times you may\'ve transferred schools
saying good bye is always hard,
Yeah,
He\'s really gone,
Stay well, Misaki, I\'ll always be rooting for you,
Guys,
big news!
You mean this?
GENZO WAKABAYASHI (15) UNEXPECTED PRO CONTRACT,
Oh, you knew?
Of course, we\'re way ahead of you,
Morning,
Tsubasa, did you see the news?
Yeah,
You finally did it, Wakabayashi,
You beat me to it,
JAPAN SOCCER ASSOCIATION,
JAPAN TEAM PLAYER SELECTION MEETING,
What?!
You now want Tsubasa Ozora to be a member of Team Japan?
It\'s too soon, Katagiri,
Of course, doing so will attract quite a bit of public attention,
But perhaps, physically, he\'s got a ways to go before taking on the world?
And what if he\'s totally outmatched
when playing against more developed players overseas?
Why not exercise patience and give him time to develop first?
We can\'t wait that long,
Tsubasa Ozora is going to completely change soccer in Japan!
Wakabayashi did it!
Does it get you fired up, Tsubasa?
Yeah, I\'m looking forward to the day Wakabayashi plays in a match,
Maybe they call him SGGK in Germany too,
All right, take your seats,
Today, I begin by introducing our latest transfer student,
Okay, come in,
Wh-What?!
Misaki!
Hi, happy to have transferred here to Nankatsu Middle School, I\'m Taro Misaki,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
TEAM HAMBURG BIRTH DATE DECEMBER 7 / BLOOD TYPE O,
Welcome back, Misaki!
With you here,
we\'ll be on a level playing field when we go up against Hyuga and Toho,
Level playing field,,,
That\'s right,
Tsubasa, you\'re going to Brazil
to see Roberto when you graduate from middle school,
Yeah,
Looks like I won\'t be able to play with you in high school,
But I know that as long as we keep playing soccer,
we\'ll team up again somewhere right,
Tsubasa?
Yeah, of course,
The seasons roll by,,,
Tsubasa continued with the Hamana Club, his language studies, and,,,
PROPERLY LEARN BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE
the rivals turned Junior Youth team members garnered the attention of many
and worked hard toward their individual goals,
TATSUNAMI HS APPLICATION-RECEPTION,
Really, with Tsubasa,,,
I\'m so happy for you, Sanae,
Yeah, thank you, How\'s Misugi?
Jun is cramming to get into a high school affiliated with a medical school,
Wow, so he\'s hoping to become a doctor?
But he says he\'ll still keep going with soccer,
Supposedly he heard of a soccer player in Brazil named Socrates
who managed to be both a doctor and soccer player,
Jun\'s working hard so he can be just like him,
FURANO MS HOKKAIDO,
Fujisawa,
It\'s been awhile, Matsuyama,
Wow, what a surprise, Why?
My dad\'s work is going to be done sooner than he anticipated,
He thought I should take the exam for a Japanese high school,
So I came back early on my own,
I see, And where do you want to go?
Furano High School,
Same,
If we both get in, will you be manager again and stay by my side?
Yes, of course,
And here at Toho Academy High School,,,
Hyuga, Wakashimazu, and Sorimachi
are expected to be regulars on the team as soon as they start high school,
Once the exam season is behind them, the fierce battles will begin once again,
JAPAN PLAYER SELECTION FINAL MEETING,
Gentlemen, as soon as he graduates middle school,
Tsubasa will travel to Brazil to turn pro,
I want to do the best we can for him in Japan before he goes to Brazil,
GENZO WAKABAYASHI (15) UNEXPECTED PRO CONTRACT,
Genzo Wakabayashi, a pro player in Germany, is 15 just like Tsubasa,
This is the generation we\'ve been waiting for,
Katagiri, as the technical committee has stated, now is not the time,
Sir,
He\'s got youth and talent and is already going to Brazil,
I don\'t understand the rush,
I\'ve seen him play,
I\'m convinced he will become an even greater player,
And because of that, we must nurture him carefully,
The next day, the roster for Team Japan was announced,
Two players from Hamana, where Tsubasa is practicing, were selected,
Tsubasa, I hung in there for you, but I couldn\'t get you into Team Japan,
What?! No way, I can\'t,
Don\'t ever say those words again,
I never want to hear you say I can\'t or the like again,
I pushed you for this because I think you have the skills,
I always want you to aim high,
Even after you go to Brazil and turn pro,
continue to strive, and aim to be the number one pro there is,
I want you to be the top soccer player in the entire world,
I had to give up soccer because of an injury I got while playing,
You are living my dream,
I know you are living Roberto\'s dream too,
For soccer fans all over Japan,
for fans who want you to lead the future of Japanese soccer,,,
You are living their dream!
Team Japan,
All the matches I\'ve played have had age limits,
But no more, That was my old soccer life,
I\'m going to have to fight to be the best in Japan, and to be the best in the world!
And if I\'m really going to go to Brazil and turn pro, then even more so,
TEAM JAPAN TRAINING CAMP SHIZUOKA,
That day, a practice match between the newly formed Team Japan
and the local university team was to take place,
I\'m going to take an entrance exam today, a little earlier than everyone else,
The entrance exam for Team Japan,
No one decided it,
This is my challenge,
Here I go!
Heel pass back to the goalie,
Okay!
What?
All right, let\'s go!
I\'m headed for Team Japan\'s goal!
- Tsubasa! - That\'s,,,
What\'re you doing? Stop him, crush him!
Y-Yes sir,
What?!
No way!
What is this guy?!
Two more,,,
All right, I did it!
I passed the last of the defense!
Coach!
He\'s the coach for Team Japan!
Okay, I\'ll get by him and shoot!
I\'m Tsubasa Ozora!
The one to make soccer in Japan number one in the world!
Tsubasa!
Impressive, He saw through Tsubasa\'s plans,
No wonder, he\'s travelled all around Europe as a pro and actually won,
It didn\'t work after all,
I failed,
Everyone, that was clearly out of line!
Forgive me,
That won\'t happen again,
Wait,
Do you want to kick the ball a little longer with the guys?
You\'d be right at home on Team Japan,
That was some impressive dribbling, Tsubasa Ozora,
Coach,
Tsubasa is still absent today,
Has anyone heard from him?
No, he hasn\'t contacted Sanae either,
Hey, look!
What?
See!
TSUBASA OZORA (15) JOINS TEAM JAPAN!!
Tsubasa\'s on Team Japan?!
- He pulled off a raid! - BIRTH OF THE FUTURE ACE OF JAPAN YOUNGEST IN HISTORY-UNPRECEDENTED SELECTION,
You guys saw it, too?
We just found out,
It\'s just like Tsubasa, He never misses a goal,
There\'s one more piece of news!
The first international match for the Japanese team is against Paraguay,
Paraguay,
I wonder if Tsubasa will play?
Of course he will,
We just can\'t be hanging around!
Let\'s follow Tsubasa and pass our entrance exams!
And before long, his teammates
across Japan learned he had made it onto Team Japan,
Jeez, he pulled it off,
Luckily, I made the team,
Now I just have to do the best I can for the coach who put his faith in me,
I need to call on every single skill I have,
My goal is number one in the world!
Go!
Tsubasa\'s signature move, the Drive Shot,
I will be the number one soccer player in the world!
