Go, Tsubasa, Misaki,
Tsubasa,
Go, Tsubasa,
Misaki,
Pierre!
That\'s right, if I can get by Pierre on my own,
then that raises our chances of tying the score,
Misaki going to get past Pierre by himself,
Misaki,
Misaki!
Technique versus technique,
It\'s a clash of two talents,
Which will it be?
Breaking through or defending?
Will Japan or France come out the winner?
The victory song goes to France,
Pierre makes a skilled tackle,
Sorry, guys,
It\'s not over yet,
Soccer is not a one-on-one sport,
It\'s played by helping each other out,
There,
- What? - Sorimachi,
Ball goes to Tsubasa in front of the goal,
Sorimachi!
I won\'t let him in the goal,
Don\'t let him shoot,
We finally got this chance, and I don\'t want to waste it,
The situation may not be perfect, but I have to shoot,
There\'s no other choice,
H-Here it comes,
Block the shot,
Huh, what?
Tsubasa with a big pass behind him,
Go for it, Hyuga,
Oh, crap,
Hyuga comes running in,
No one\'s gonna complain about this now,
I won\'t let you shoot,
Please, Hyuga, our hearts and souls are betting on that ball, You gotta make it!
Take that! Behold my Tiger Shot,,,
Behold the wrath of Team Japan!
Hyuga\'s Tiger Shot is in!
It\'s 3-2!
Seven minutes into the second half Japan makes it a one-point match,
Nice shot, Hyuga,
Good job, Hyuga,
See that? Now that\'s a goal,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
Hyuga\'s Tiger Shot explodes! Now that\'s a goal,
EPISODE 22 THE ELEGANT BEAST ATTACKS
You did it, Hyuga,
Nice shot!
He did it!
One more point! One more point!
All right, one more point, guys,
Yeah,
Japan continues to fight with ten players on the pitch,
but seven minutes into the second half, they make it 3-2, just one goal away,
Pierre,
From defense to offense, they help each other and play as a team,
This, folks, is what JBOY\'S soccer is all about,
Pierre,
They covered for their missing player, and they defended,
Then they attacked en masse,
It\'s not South American or European, It\'s Japanese soccer,
And we\'ll just have to show \'em our champagne soccer,
Y-Yeah,
I\'ll grab another goal, It\'s a promise,
And we\'re back, Japan is now within one point,
The question is, will this rain prove lucky for them?
Just as we thought, Japan\'s hanging tough,
Yeah, They came back from a three-point deficit against us
and are playing in the semifinals,
They may have only ten players, but they\'re not giving up,
Tsubasa,
France looks to Elle Sid Pierre to set up the match,
Pierre,
Let\'s go, Misaki,
Tsubasa!
If we both go, we should be able to get it,
Yeah,
On France\'s honor, I\'m not giving up this ball,
Tsubasa and Misaki are both headed towards Pierre,
Pierre!
It\'s a double tackle by Tsubasa and Misaki,
Oh, Pierre gets around the Golden Duo\'s tackle
and blows by them in no time,
What speed! What a beautiful maneuver!
Tsubasa and Misaki,
Pierre!
I\'m still here,
Hyuga from Japan attacks,
Oh, he dodges this one too,
What?
Take that, Japan!
You\'ll be two points behind again!
He lands and quickly shoots!
Behold, the elegant beast himself, Elle Sid Pierre,
Wakashimazu, it\'s a Slider Shot, It\'ll go straight, but then curve,
All right, Tsubasa,
He got it!
It\'s as if he predicted the exact trajectory of this tricky shot,
Wakashimazu with a diving catch!
Japan doesn\'t give France an additional point,
We can\'t give any more points away,
Nice, Wakashimazu!
The European tour and this tournament have provided Wakashimazu
with the experience of having to handle all kinds of formidable shots,
He will always get the second one,
Nice save, Wakashimazu,
Go!
All right, let\'s go,
We\'re not done yet,
Pierre isn\'t the only one on this team,
It\'s quickly intercepted,
Go!
You may\'ve gotten a point, but we\'ll take it right back,
Get the ball back right away,
Pierre,
The ball is back with Pierre,
Will he shoot again?
- Here, - All right,
A one-two return to Napoleon in front of the goal,
But Izawa is marking Napoleon,
You\'re not getting through,
Why, you,
I\'m getting the goal!
Napoleon aggressively shakes off Izawa\'s mark,
Cannon Shot!
And he shoots,
But Wakashimazu stops this one too,
What?
And the loose ball,,,
Got it,
Bossis shoots!
Goal! It\'s in!
France makes it a two-point difference again,
Yeah, way to go, France,
Nice shot, Bossis,
Guys,
No goal,
What?
France\'s goal is denied,
It\'s a foul on Napoleon for pushing through in his previous move,
N-No way,
Phew,
That ref isn\'t just on France\'s side,
A referee must always be impartial,
I-Izawa,
Izawa is down!
He looks to have injured his shin, I see blood,
- Izawa! - Are you all right?
Will he be able to continue?
Coach! Let me go in,
Misugi,
Izawa, can you stand?
So much blood,
I think this means Izawa is out,
He leaves the pitch supported by his team mates,
Coach,
I played over thirty minutes in the Tokyo tournament finals,
I can do twenty minutes in the second half, Put me in,
All right,
Misugi subs in for Izawa,
He started mid-match against Argentina
and scored a goal with a mesmerizing overhead kick,
It\'s the Young Noble of the Field,
Jun Misugi, Japan\'s secret weapon is on the pitch,
He\'s
the one who got the fifth goal against Argentina,
Good job, Izawa,
I\'m counting on you, Misugi,
All right,
Guys, leave the defense to me, Including marking Napoleon,
Misugi,
But in return, I need you on offense, Tsubasa,
Okay,
And a free kick by Japan restarts the match,
Tsubasa,
To Captain Tsubasa,
Let\'s go, Pierre,
Tsubasa deliberately heads towards the French captain, Pierre,
The French general Elle Sid Pierre,
If I get by him, our morale will sky rocket,
and it\'ll be a major blow to France,
Tsubasa thinks the same way,
Great strategy, Tsubasa,
Get by him, and you\'ll change the course of this entire match,
It\'s a duel between captains,
Come on, it\'s showtime, Elle Sid Pierre,
Tsubasa,
Pierre,
Everyone in France is depending on me,
Will Tsubasa get by him? Or will Pierre shut him down?
I can\'t lose,
I was born into a rich family,
Being the son of a billionaire,,,
That\'s the only reason,
Vandalism again,
People were jealous of me,
Master Pierre, what shall I get you today?
Hey, I told you, quit standing around here gawking,
And others treated me better than they should have,
Just when I had had enough of it all, I discovered soccer,
None of that matters in soccer,
Everyone plays by the same rules, and the same conditions,
Your background, your wealth, it\'s all irrelevant,
We all go after the same ball,
I came to love this sport called soccer,
Elle!
So,,,
I won\'t lose to anyone, Not in soccer, the game I love,
Ouch! There\'s a head-on collision,
Pierre wins this one,
Tsubasa,
Even Tsubasa couldn\'t handle it,
Good, Pierre! Way to go,
France wins the duel of captains, This is sure to fire up the team,
Okay, let\'s go,
Yeah!
Crap,
They\'re on a roll and are coming to attack,
Everyone, calm down,
Misugi,
Let\'s go, defense,
A quick attack from France by the playmaker Pierre,
Napoleon,
Yo,
Pass into Napoleon!
It goes through cleanly,
Oh, but he\'s offside,
What?
Napoleon,
Yo,
That Number 24 gave the signal and the defense line moved up,
An offside trap by Japan,
All right, we did it,
We can do it, too,
That\'s right,
We practiced this trick with Misugi,
They gave France back their offside trap,
Nice, Japan,
I don\'t believe it,
The ball once again goes from Misugi to Tsubasa,
Tsubasa couldn\'t get by Pierre,
What tactic will he use this time?
All right,
What\'s this?
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC
BIRTH DATE DECEMBER 20 / HEIGHT 169 CM WEIGHT 56 KG / BLOOD TYPE O
Once again, Tsubasa heads for Pierre,
- What? - Tsubasa!
Today, in this match, getting by Pierre is everything!
Tsubasa,
Three years ago, it was another rainy semifinal,
Misugi\'s skills almost made me give up,
No matter how strong my opponent, I\'ll never give up,
No matter how many times I lose, I\'ll keep going back until I win,
That\'s how I\'ll make it to world number one,
Tsubasa,
It\'s a one-on-one between Tsubasa and Pierre,
What\'s with this guy?
You already tried once and couldn\'t get by me,
And still, he comes head on at me,
Is your confidence telling you you can actually get by me?
Or are you just stupid?
So call me stupid, I\'m stupid for soccer,
I\'ll get by you this time! It\'s all about the speed,
He got by! From a steady dribble to searing speed in a second,
It\'s a battle between the elegant beast and the free-flying falcon,
Tsubasa won this one,
Pierre,
Tsubasa!
Tsubasa\'s dribble continues to gain speed even after getting by Pierre,
N-No way,
France, on the other hand,
Captain Pierre can\'t hide his surprise at being passed,
Roberto taught me this dribble,
And Roberto may already be on a flight back to Brazil,
That memento from Roberto,,,
This is my,,,
Here I go!
It\'s his signature long shot!
Drive Shot!
Tearing through the rainy French sky,,,
It\'s in! Tsubasa\'s Drive Shot!
You did it, Tsubasa!
We\'re tied,
They\'re tied,
Fifteen minutes into the second half,
and the ten members of Team Japan have tied it up,
All right,
We caught up,
Nice Drive Shot,
Tsubasa,
Excellent, Tsubasa,
The perfect execution of the South American Drive Shot I taught you,
Only Captain Tsubasa,
Putting Misugi in was a success too, Coach,
Yeah,
Coach, I\'ll go let Soda know,
The match started with a first goal by Tsubasa,
But, France immediately caught up with Pierre\'s Slider Shot,
After Soda\'s dramatic ejection,
Pierre easily got the penalty kick and made it 2-1,
Then France managed to add another point with Napoleon\'s shot,
going into half time with 3-1,
But the second half saw Japan make their come back,
At the seven-minute mark, it was Hyuga,
And now, at the 15-minute mark, it\'s Tsubasa who scored to tie it 3-3,
The other captain,,, That one point he got by getting by Pierre is huge,
Yeah,
Again, there\'s no telling how this\'ll turn out,
T-Tie,
I see, the guys did it,
Fifteen minutes left, and Japan is setting the pace now,
We can do it,
I was completely outplayed,
P-Pierre,
Allez France! Allez France!
Go France!
It\'s still tied, you haven\'t lost!
Play your own soccer, and you\'ll win!
Go, France Junior Youth!
That\'s right, We have all these amazing fans behind us,
We can\'t repay them with anything but perfection,
They\'re short a player,
As the game goes on, they\'re going to get tired,
We may be tied, but we still have the advantage,
Don\'t give up,
All right,
All right, let\'s go, everyone,
The overwhelming support of the crowd lifts Team France, helping them
put up one heck of a fight,
Let\'s put up a solid defense,
All right,
Defense,
Attack! Get a goal!
But with Misugi in for Japan, the defense is even tighter,
They won\'t give up a point that easily,
They have an offside trap too,
We can\'t send the ball in front of the goal without thinking,
Here, Napoleon!
What?
This is an unexpected pass behind,
All right, I\'ll put it in,
Louis Napoleon, French ace, with a,,,
Cannon Shot!
But the long shot by Napoleon is stopped by Goalie Wakashimazu\'s diving catch,
Shoot,
Nice, Wakashimazu,
That injury Schneider gave me back in the beginning of the tour,,,
It\'s making me lose the grip in my right hand,
That goalie,,,
Both teams are taking turns attacking and defending here
at the first International Junior Youth Tournament in France,
Head for the goal!
Stop them!
Don\'t let them have the ball,
All this rain from the start of the second half,,,
It\'s making the pitch extremely muddy,
Time keeps ticking by,
We have less than ten minutes,
Chances are the next point will be the game winner,
Tsubasa has the ball,
It\'s Number 10 again, Don\'t leave him alone!
Mark him, France,
- Crap, - Crush him!
France tackles!
All right,
But Tsubasa evades and passes mid-air,
The ball goes to Misaki,
But Misaki has Pierre on him,
Like Tsubasa, will Misaki challenge him to a one-on-one?
No, he passes,
Here, Misaki,
It\'s a superb one-two return with Tsubasa,
Just as I thought, I\'ll intercept the return pass,
But Pierre has read the return pass?
What!
Pierre slips on the muddy pitch!
I\'ll stop him,
All right,
Kojiro,
Misaki sends Hyuga a final pass,
- Darn, - O-Oh no,
A superb pass that goes between the French defense,
All right, got it,
I, Kojiro Hyuga, will score the winning point,
What?
Oh, it\'s stopped!
Hyuga can\'t shoot like this!
Phew,
For France, that is truly one lucky puddle,
Now the stopped ball
has been picked up by the forward Napoleon, who has returned,
The goddess of victory seems to have smiled down on us, after all,
Let\'s go, Pierre,
Napoleon,
Go France!
Show them the ultimate attack!
Let\'s go! Eiffel Attack!
Eiffel Attack?
