After punching their ticket to the Nationals,
Tsubasa learns from Wakabayashi that Taro Misaki is currently in France,
Upon hearing what his old friend is up to,
Tsubasa finds himself even more fired up!
Meanwhile, in hopes of getting more powerful,
Kojiro has been undergoing some harsh training at his old coach Kira\'s place,
The tiger is back from his slumber now!
In order to respond to Kojiro\'s efforts,
Tsubasa keeps working hard on perfecting his Drive Shot,
And here we are, at the day of the National Tournament,
After completing his training, Kojiro reunites with his team,
However,,,
Hyuga, I won\'t allow you to play in this tournament,
The curtain falls on the Nationals with unexpected developments brewing!
The first match draws the attention of every school,
The opening game of the National Middle School Football Tournament
will be between Nankatsu MS from Shizuoka Prefecture, and Azumaichi MS from Osaka,
The game will start shortly,
Nankatsu aims for their 3rd championship for the first time in their history,
and are taking their first step towards that, with Tsubasa Ozora at the helm,
Azumaichi MS beat last year\'s Osaka representative, Naniwa MS,
and this is their first time in this tournament,
Despite facing the reigning champions, they show no signs of panic,
Azumaichi\'s center-back Soda is going to encounter them!
Don\'t you dare play so slow!
Here! Take this!
He sends the ball ahead!
Like I\'d let it pass!
Tsubasa is immediately there to cut it!
Nice one, Tsubasa!
This bastard,,,
It\'s apparent that both aces are all fired up!
EPISODE 35: RAZOR POWER EXPLODES,
That\'s right,
I can\'t think about taking this lightly while I\'m aiming for our V3,
No matter who we\'re playing against, I\'ll give my all in every single match!
Follow Tsubasa\'s lead!
Yeah!
Soda is after him as well!
I won\'t let you be in the spotlight this match!
He\'s keeping up with Tsubasa\'s speed!
That guy wasn\'t all talk! ,
He disappeared!
Razor Tackle! ,
Wha,,,
Soda changes sides to go to Tsubasa\'s blind spot and performs a powerful sliding tackle!
Did he say "Razor Tackle"?
Man, that was one sharp tackle!
Good! This is our chance!
Go for it, guys!
A fast attack!
While Nankatsu\'s offensive and defensive keystone Tsubasa is down, Azumaichi MS starts their attack!
I won\'t let you!
Here!
Azumaichi MS are the first with a chance today!
God damn it!
Here you go!
Ide is positioned in front of Nankatsu\'s goal,
Onodera is waiting for him!
What?! ,
All right!
Center-back Soda overlaps and is completely unmarked!
Don\'t let him shoot!
Don\'t give him an angle!
You think this is enough to stop me?
Let me show you with this one shot!
Go! Razor Shot!
Soda fires away!
Morisaki!
You can catch it!
Morisaki reaches out!
What?!
Goal!
The ball digs its way right into the upper right corner!
Damn right!
We\'ve just seen Soda\'s Razor Shot!
What?
Nankatsu gave up a goal first!
In the 5th minute of the first half, the reigning champions Nankatsu have conceded a goal!
The goalscorer was the defender, Makoto Soda,
That\'s right,
That was Soda\'s Razor Shot, which we\'d also seen at Osaka Tournament\'s final,
Makoto Soda,,,
You morons!
You\'ve been too careless!
This National Middle School Football Tournament has taken quite the turn!
In the opening game between Nankatsu and Azumaichi,
the first to concede a goal are the reigning champions, Nankatsu,
For those watching, the match has certainly become very interesting!
Guys, the match has just begun, ,
Don\'t panic; Let\'s calmly focus on our game!
Yes!
Morisaki!
That guy seems to put a frightening amount of spins to his shots,
Be careful!
Okay, got it,
Soda didn\'t take his time,,,
— BAY COAST STADIUM,,,
One, two, three, four!
Hey, look at that,
Hyuga is sitting on the bench,
He\'s all beaten up, but he looks,,, tougher than before, ,
Hasn\'t he been secretly training since the end of the Tokyo Tournament?
So all that about "Hyuga\'s disappearance" was just blowing smoke?
Here\'s Coach Kitazume!
Coach Kitazume!
Can we ask you about Hyuga?
Was him going "missing" some sort of special secret training?
Secret training? I\'ve heard nothing about that,
Everything about Hyuga gets a "no comment" from me,
Oh, please don\'t hide it, ,
He\'s done some really hard training, right?
Enough!
The only thing I can say right now is that
I won\'t let Hyuga play in this tournament!
Wha,,,
Coach,,,
Nankatsu has stumbled right from the start!
As usual, the one to get them back on their feet is Tsubasa Ozora!
We\'re counting on you, Tsubasa!
After scoring that one goal, all I have to do is mark you,
If I do that, this game\'s as good as ours,
Damn him!
Crap!
Despite Soda marking closely, Tsubasa manages to pass it away,
Any team would thoroughly mark Tsubasa,
The important part is how Tsubasa and his teammates handle it,
Let\'s go!
Let\'s show them Nankatsu isn\'t just about Tsubasa, ,
All right!
Nankatsu plans to doggedly break through the middle!
Like hell we\'d let you!
However, Azumaichi\'s defense is also strong!
Damn it!
So he\'ll be marking me even when I dont have the ball,
You\'re damn right,
I\'ll follow you to the depths of hell,
If it\'s come to this, let\'s see who\'s got better stamina!
I\'ll break away from your marking!
Hmph! You can\'t outrun me!
Nankatsu continues their attack without Tsubasa,
Azumaichi\'s Soda\'s obstinate marking is working,
That\'s Soda for you, You\'re as stubborn as a snake,
It\'s been 10 minutes since the start of the match,
Tsubasa!
Izawa\'s pass successfully makes its way to Tsubasa,
He\'s the real deal,
He\'s the first player to give this a hard time with his man-marking,
You\'re as good as they say, Tsubasa Ozora,
I managed to use a Razor Tackle on him earlier, but he won\'t give me another chance,
That center-back\'s defense skills on the wings is pretty good,
That\'s #7,,, Makoto Soda,
He\'s good at marking others, and he can play anywhere in a defensive position,
I see,,,
Tsubasa! You can shake a guy like him off yourself! ,
We\'ll run to the front of the goal for you!
Just give us a cross!
Well, I can\'t have that!
I will!
He stopped him!
Soda tackles him from behind,
What?!
That\'s a foul!
That bastard! He did that on purpose!
Yellow card!
If Soda gets another yellow card, he\'ll be put out of the game,
When I mark someone, I stop him no matter the cost,
Even if I have to resort to a foul or two,
Azumaichi MS fights bravely in their first national tournament,
It seems not giving Tsubasa room to direct the game is working well,
Get a hold of yourselves!
Just like you did against us in the finals,
show them you can play, even without Tsubasa!
Damn it!
If we can\'t create a chance with Tsubasa
we\'ll make one ourselves!
We\'re counting on you, Shutetsu Trio! ,
The heart of Nankatsu\'s offense Izawa, Taki and Kisugi
are determined to aim for the goal!
Leave it to me!
You idiots!
Can\'t you handle such small fry?!
Oh no!
Using Soda\'s moment of carelessness, Tsubasa sets himself free!
Taki! Tsubasa\'s unmarked!
We\'ll join him!
Yeah!
Damn it!
The cross hits a defender and changes course,
Tsubasa turns his back to the goal,
This posture,,, He\'s going for his overhead kick!
This is my first chance, I\'ll make sure to use it fully!
Like hell I\'d let you!
Soda blocks him with a jumping volley!
Nice, Soda!
Got it!
Izawa picks up the loose ball!
Damn it! He\'s not marked!
Eat this!
Stop him, keeper! ,
He got it!
A super save!
Nankatsu\'s barely misses their chance to score!
Nice catch, keeper!
They didn\'t score, but they have finally made an attack worthy of Nankatsu\'s name, ,
Still, Azumaichi MS\'s defense is really strong,
Seeing that #7 Soda is a defender, one can say that they are a defensive team,
That\'s right, He\'s the key,
Blocking Tsubasa\'s overhead kick is a feat worthy of praise,
Yeah, you\'re all pretty much right,
Azumaichi is a defensive team,
They conceded no goals in the Osaka Tournament,
And that Makoto Soda,,,
They call him "Soda the Ace Killer" in Kansai, ,
He sticks close to his opponent\'s ace, and stops them by hitting the ball,,, or their legs,
Our center forward wound up with a leg injury because of his tackles, and was unable to score in the end,
Wha,,,
Seeing the defensive Azumaichi leading the game by a goal,
I can say that they are sure to win this one,
Soda the Ace Killer,,,
Damn it! That move earlier,,,
Because he\'s being constantly marked, Tsubasa has to cross play,
If Nankatsu loses, it\'ll be because of Tsubasa\'s injury,
Nankatsu couldn\'t score a goal!
The first half ends here,
Well done, boys!
Soda, do you think you can keep marking Tsubasa in the second half too?
If it\'s hard on you, I can get someone else to help you,
Don\'t worry, This match is as good as ours,
He injured his leg, ,
What?!
,
Okawa, what\'s wrong?
We need you now, come fast,
INFIRMARY
Tsubasa!
That old injury I picked up in the finals against Hyuga is flaring up,
I don\'t think it\'s severe, but I need you to tape it,
Quickly, please,
Yes,
Didn\'t you skip practice during spring of the 2nd year because of this injury?
Yeah, I got it taped by her then,
Manabu, not a word of this to anyone,
There\'s still the second half, and I don\'t want them to worry,
I know,
Yep, It\'s done,
Thanks,
You\'ll be okay?
Yeah, I\'ll win, I promise,
All right!
If Tsubasa Ozora is injured, then we only have to think about those three,
Kisugi, Izawa and Taki,
In front of the goal, go man-to-man no matter what,
Yes, sir!
All right! Keep this up; Let\'s shut out the defending champions, Nankatsu,
If there\'s a chance, go for a counter,
Yeah!
It\'s okay, We\'ll get even in the second half for sure!
That\'s right, We\'ll tie and reverse the tables!
Just don\'t get hasty,
Play like you always do, and you\'ll win!
Yes, sir!
Where\'s Tsubasa?
What, were you in the toilet?
Yeah, Now that I\'m feeling better,,,
Let\'s go everyone! To battle in this second half! ,
Yeah!
We\'re counting on you, Nankatsu!
Tie the scores first!
Hooray, hooray, \'ichi MS!
Where did you go, Sanae?
I had a small task to do,
The second half starts!
Nankatsu makes an interception already,
Go, Tsubasa!
But Azumaichi MS don\'t look flustered,
Rather, if Nankatsu goes too forward here, they may get countered,
Soda is still marking him in the second half!
What\'s the matter, Tsubasa?
Weren\'t you gonna weasel out of my mark on you?
I guess you can\'t run with those legs,
This guy knows about my leg,,,!
If you\'re not coming, then I\'ll go to you!
Tsubasa!
Oh, Nankatsu makes a beautiful one-two pass,
Damn it!
However, Soda is in hot pursuit, marking him once more!
I won\'t lose him for long, I need to make a pass towards the goal,
Are you guys planning on protecting this one goal, Azumaichi MS?
Tsubasa is unable to pass, and Soda is bearing down on him!
Damn it! Then I\'m gonna have to bet on this!
Ah! Tsubasa is getting ready to shoot, even from this far out!
What?!
Roberto, I\'m channeling you!
I won\'t let you!
Drive Shot!
Soda\'s tackle doesn\'t make it in time!
Tsubasa takes a long shot!
I didn\'t make it in time! What a quick shot!
But this one\'s floated over! It looks like this shot will go over,,,
Ah! The ball that was supposed to go over suddenly drops down!
There must be a huge amount of forward "drive" spin on it!
Come on, get in!
Keeper!
What?!
It\'s in! The keeper wasn\'t able to react!
All ri,,,
No, it\'s our mistake! It\'s landed on the net above the goal, It is not a goal!
Damn!
It was a very close long shot for Tsubasa,
That was powerful!
It went right to the net!
Sorry, Roberto, I still can\'t make it,
I still haven\'t been able to master that shot,
Also,,, the Drive Shot takes a greater toll on my pivot leg than I expected,
I can\'t use it any more this match,
Damn you! Trying to scare me like that!
A Drive Shot? Even I thought of that,
But adding forward spin to a ball is way too hard,
That\'s why I left that and instead focused on lateral spin; I worked hard to perfect my Razor Shot,
Even for you, Tsubasa,,, at our age, a Drive Shot is impossible,
Azumaichi MS starts the match with the ball in their hand,
All right! We\'ll attack if there is a chance!
Come on!
I\'m pretty sure you hurt yourself more on that last shot,
You won\'t escape my mark anymore, Tsubasa Ozora!
It\'s already seven minutes into the second half,
They\'re just running their mouths about moving to offense!
We\'re only moving if there\'s a chance,
Damn you!
That\'s right! Try to rile your opponents up,
We\'re only supposed to be scared of Tsubasa\'s shots,
If Soda can handle him, we\'ll win in another 20 minutes or so,
Do not get hasty,
If you do, you\'ll just wind up back in their pace,
The atmosphere in this match doesn\'t feel very good,
Tsubasa\'s being completely marked,
Time is running out,
This might end with an upset, y\'know,,,
Nankatsu, without a chance in the second half, has burned through twenty minutes,
Damn it, there\'s only ten minutes more,
Damn it!
Izawa slides in to steal the ball!
But Soda\'s mark on Tsubasa makes it impossible to pass to him,
It\'s not just because of Soda that he\'s not able to remove his mark!
Even when there\'s no time left,
we\'ll still believe in Tsubasa!
Even with the mark, Nankatsu makes a pass onto Tsubasa!
You can\'t pull ahead of me Tsubasa!
Catch me if you can, Soda!
Oh, Tsubasa goes right onto an opposing player!
He dodges right before hitting him!
All right!
Nankatsu gets a chance after a long time!
Tsubasa need to make a last pass towards the goal,
Tsubasa, you bastard,,,!
But in front of the goal, Kisugi, Izawa and Taki are completely marked,
Ah! Nanktasu stilll has an unmarked player!
Nagano! ,
Come on, Tsubasa!
I\'ll mark him!
Tsubasa can\'t pass anywhere under these circumstances!
What are you doing, Tsubasa?
You\'re free! Just go by yourself!
All right! Right there!
Tsubasa lifts a pass towards the goal!
If it\'s coming upwards, then it\'s ours,
Everybody, repel the ball with a header!
Yeah!
Ah! Tsubasa had crossed the ball for the center-back Takasugi!
What!?
Take this!
He makes a header runnning towards the goal!
Ah!
It\'s in! This time, Nankatsu has really tied the scores!
I did it!
Woah! Nice header, Takasugi!
Nice overlap! ,
You bastard! You made a goal before I did!
Even if that was supposed to be a joke!
Nankatsu finally scores with Takasugi\'s ambush!
Tsubasa was very attentive, with noticing Takasugi,
Damn it!
If we\'re even, then the match is ours!
Tsubasa, is your leg okay?
We center-backs are like goalkeepers,
we look at your movements from the back,
Takasugi! It\'s okay, No need to worry,
Is that so?
Tsubasa! Is it because of his leg that he didn\'t go by himself?
Phew! I\'m a little relieved seeing that,
Nankatsu will go on a roll after this,
That\'s right,
Damn it! It\'s even now,
We just needed to go for it a little more,
I got played by you, Tsubasa Ozora,
Don\'t you guys worry!
I\'ll get that back with my Razor Shot,
But Soda, this time they\'ll come prepared for it,
That\'s okay, my Razor Shot can be used in both ways!
