What?
Tsubasa kicks the ball into the air,
All right,
Right here,
Tsubasa and Misaki with the Twin Shot,
A marvel of a trick they showed only once three years ago,
This time, they leap into the air for a Jumping Twin Shot!
Go!
The ball sways and heads directly to the French goal,
Wh-What is this?
Crap,
The goalie jumps but can\'t get it!
We did it, we\'re ahead,
What bad luck!
Excessive horizontal sway made the shot hit the goal post,
Sadly that is no goal for the Twin Shot,
Let\'s go,
I\'m the ace striker for France,
I\'ll get a hat trick here
and I, Louis Napoleon, will also be the top scorer of this tournament,
Go! It\'s a Cannon Shot!
Napoleon uses all his power and the Cannon Shot explodes,
Here!
What?
I was waiting for this!
I\'m using the rebound from your shot!
This is! My!
Neo Tiger Shot!
Hyuga kicks back!
Tiger Shot meets Cannon Shot!
What?
- All right, - Whoa!
Go!
The ball is headed straight for France\'s goal,
First half over! No goal!
No goal!
Hyuga\'s long shot went in, but unfortunately the ref says it\'s no goal,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
EPISODE 25 A WOUNDED FINAL DEFENSE,
Excellent work, team,
They attacked hard and you still managed to create two opportunities,
The second half is going to be just as tough, but I want you to keep fighting,
We\'ve got ten minutes left, You have to give it your all and fight,
Show \'em what you got, Show \'em JBoys soccer, and fight till the very end,
Yes, sir,
Our entire focus has been on winning this tournament,
Forget that, I don\'t want you thinking about winning anymore,
What?
Coach!
Just focus on the match in front of you,
I never thought Japan would be so tough,
But now I know it\'s something you can understand only through playing them,
We\'ve got Pierre, but they\'ve got Tsubasa Ozora, Number 10,
And that\'s not all, They have the other eleven behind him all the way,
Individually, their power is limited,
But when they come together as a team, their strength is immeasurable,
Tsubasa with a big pass behind him,
Go for it, Hyuga,
Take that! Behold my Tiger Shot,,,
Behold the wrath of Team Japan!
All right! Go, Tachibana twins,
Yo,
Let\'s go!
And there it is! Aerial magic by the Tachibana twins,
It\'s Skylab Hurricane!
I-I can\'t! There\'s nothing left,
Don\'t give up, Misaki!
Misaki\'s blocked foot,,,
Tsubasa comes up from behind and pushes,
They get by Napoleon\'s stronghold! The Golden Duo is alive and well,
All right,
Misaki is flying,
And Misaki takes the floating ball and immediately,,,
A Jumping Volley!
It\'s in!
Japan Junior Youth is a tremendous team,
So don\'t think about the final right now, Just focus on this match,
Focus on giving it your all and beating this talented team!
Yes, what coach says!
We hold back nothing,
Let\'s give it our all and take down Japan!
All right,
Both teams are in position,
The first International Junior Youth Tournament, semi-finals second match,
is tied 4-4, and now it\'s the end of the first half of overtime,
In just a minute, the second half of overtime will commence,
France has substituted out a fatigued Bravo and Zema
for Montana and Belmondo in this second half,
Looks like they are preparing for a fierce attack with four forwards,
Meeting them head-on are the ten warriors from Japan,
Just like in the first half,
the goal for Japan is finding any opening in the French defense
and breaking through,
We are going to give it our all and take you down,
Go ahead and come at me!
We\'re not giving away any points,
We\'ll give it everything,
Let\'s go, French Eleven!
Just one point wins!
We\'re counting on you, Pierre,
Team Japan, fight till the end!
So, France has the advantage,
Japan\'s managed to hang on in the first half,
but France\'s attacks have exhausted them,
And we\'re back,
Whether you like it or not, we\'ve got ten minutes left,
Will it be Japan or France who makes it to the final to play against Germany?
- Let\'s go, Misaki, - Yeah,
First, we get rid of those two,
Yeah!
Right at the start of the second half, France rushes Japan\'s Golden Duo,
They know that Japan has only these two for offense,
Tsubasa!
Misaki!
Tsubasa, kicks wide to the side,
Japan has one pillar of offense left,
The unmarked Hyuga!
No, Pierre is on him,
Go for it, Pierre,
Hyuga,
If I can just get by you, then I\'m unmarked!
I can go straight for the goal,
I swear it, this match is mine,
They collide head-on, It\'s one against one,
Hyuga,
Oh, Hyuga\'s injured right leg is giving him trouble!
Pierre with the tenacity of a French general gets the ball,
Let\'s go, guys!
Yeah!
Waves of tricolor attacks begin again in this second half,
Let\'s defend, guys,
Yeah,
Belmondo!
The Elegant Pass Machine, Elle Sid Pierre,
puts the ball in a good position in front of the Japanese goal,
I got it!
Just subbed in, the bubbling Belmondo runs in,
Not a chance,
Goalie Wakashimazu rushes out and punches it with his left hand,
Wakashimazu!
Wakashimazu hits his right arm hard again,
He can\'t stand up,
Bossis runs for the loose ball,
The Japanese goal is wide open,
It\'s mine,
Not happening!
Matsuyama with a do-or-die header and clears it,
What?!
Yay, Matsuyama,
Stand up, Wakashimazu, We only have this match,
Ten minutes left! What happened to fighting until the end?
Napoleon gets the cleared ball,
Take that!
He shoots from a less-than optimal angle,
Kazuo!
Yeah,
Go!
They blocked it!
- What?! - Nice one,
The Tachibana twins, barely able to stand,
use their Skylab Hurricane in a desperate defense,
This semi-final is our last match, too,
Not yet!
But Pierre is running towards the cleared ball,
What?!
- Go, Pierre, - Oh crap,
Japan\'s goal is wide open,
This is it!
The final blow in France\'s wave of attacks is Pierre\'s specialty,
the Jumping Volley Shot!
Wakashimazu stands up!
And he stops the shot!
What?!
Wakashimazu!
But the ball is being pulled into Japan\'s goal!
Nice, Wakashimazu, Leave the rest to me,
We\'re not giving up a single point,
- What?! - Nice, Misugi,
He defends! Misugi clears it with a bicycle kick,
Team Japan endures the rush of shots from France,
The rest is up to you, Tsubasa,
And the ball goes straight to the captain, Tsubasa Ozora,
Misugi,
Let\'s go, Misaki, Let\'s rocket this ball into the French goal!
Yeah,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
FRANCE JUNIOR YOUTH,
Team Japan endured France\'s three shooting attempts
just as the second half of overtime began,
And now, they begin their attack,
I\'m coming for you, France,
Go Japan!
But for Japan, only Tsubasa, Misaki, and Hyuga
can launch an attack,
And Hyuga, having reinjured his right leg in a clash with Pierre,
is still unable to stand,
Hyuga,
Then I have to go,
For our defenders,
and for a shorter amount of defense time,
We attack here! I won\'t give this ball up to anyone,
Tsubasa uses his dribbling skills,
It seemed he\'d make a pass attack with Misaki because of the current pitch,
but he\'s dribbling on his own,
The French were anticipating a pass, but now they can\'t stop it!
Tsubasa,
All right, Tsubasa,
Wow, he\'s fast,
His dribbling really is something else,
You,,, I\'ll stop you,
That\'s right, Tsubasa, Go!
Tsubasa dribbles and cuts toward the touchline,
Touchline?
He\'s,,,
Nice, Tsubasa,
It\'s this rain,
The center of the pitch is torn up from all the cleats,
but it\'s not as bad near the touchlines,
And in that position,
he only needs to worry about the players to the left of him,
It\'s the easiest place to dribble,
He can get to the French goal by himself,
So that\'s what he\'s doing,
Tsubasa continues dribbling for Japan\'s victory,
I\'m not going to lose,
Japan\'s offense is all up to me,
I\'ll get the winning goal!
Hyuga!
Go for it, Kojiro,
Stop him, guys, Don\'t let him get any farther,
Take that!
Napoleon tackles from the left, but Tsubasa jumps and simply evades it,
What?
He\'s already in French territory,
What\'s Tsubasa going to do?
Will he cut into the goal from here?
Don\'t let him through to the goal area,
He can\'t cut in!
France is furiously rounding in and defending,
Does Tsubasa have something up his sleeve?
He continues to dribble near the line,
In the middle of the pitch, Misaki runs in parallel with Tsubasa,
Clearly he\'s trying to get a pass out to Misaki,
Don\'t let him get a centering pass,
On Pierre\'s direction,
France has three players build a formidable wall
between Tsubasa and Misaki,
They have blocked in Tsubasa\'s left side,
Let\'s go, Misaki,
Come, Tsubasa,
Go!
Tsubasa boldly kicks a centering pass to Misaki,
Got it,
It\'s not going through,
But they\'ve anticipated it, France goes to block the pass!
Oh, but it\'s a Drive Pass by Tsubasa and it goes over their heads,
What?!
Drive Pass!
All right,
Japan\'s Golden Duo,
This combination is a do-or-die one play ,
Tsubasa\'s Drive Pass gets around the opponent\'s block
and turns into a direct Volley Shot by Misaki,
Go, Misaki!
Get it in, Misaki!
Misaki was the one who got the tie goal right before regular time ended,
Will he score the winning goal this time?
I won\'t let him shoot,
Oh, Pierre comes in to block,
Pierre!
Then,,,
Here!
Misaki sees Pierre coming and changes to a heel pass,
What?!
Nice pass, Misaki,
Hyuga is there,
Injury may\'ve delayed his help in the offense,
but he\'s back in action and has come up this far,
It\'s a triple-tier attack by Japan,
A dream golden triple attack has become reality on this European tour,
Go, Hyuga!
Go!
I don\'t care if my leg splinters into a million pieces,
I\'m gonna drive this into France\'s goal!
Hyuga takes Misaki\'s heel pass and lets loose a running shot!
The Tiger Shot explodes!
Oh no!
Pierre reacts to the shot, and he goes to block!
No way you\'re scoring!
He stopped it!
Japan\'s triple attack cannot get through Pierre!
N-No way,
Crap!
Nice, Pierre,
Good save!
From defense to offense, he\'s truly an all-rounder,
Perfectly executing all aspects of the game is French captain,
the French general, Elle Sid Pierre, A tremendous player,
I told you, This match, we\'re winning this one,
Pierre,
What a player, Pierre,
Yeah,
Oh, Elle,
Move up,
And it\'s France\'s turn to attack again,
Let\'s go, This time we\'re scoring!
Yeah,
Here they come,
We defend again,
Yeah, we\'re not giving away a single point,
France attacks furiously again,
Japan withstands,
Misaki,
Okay,
Unable to sit by, Tsubasa and Misaki join the defense,
Belmondo,
Nice, Tsubasa,
France\'s fierce attacks continue,
France keeps the loose ball,
Move up,
Go!
Nice, Hyuga,
Hyuga,
Hyuga was hanging back as the only one on offense
but now joins the defense,
You\'re not getting through,
We\'re not losing!
Team Japan defends with every last ounce of energy,
They fight until the very end to defend Japan\'s goal,
They\'re tough,
What a team,
Not yet!
It\'s France\'s ball again!
But there\'s no more time!
Will this be the final attack?
It\'s shot up,
And that whistle signals the end of the match,
It echoes throughout the brightening Parisian sky,
Time over,
Both teams fought hard, but time\'s up,
It\'s 4-4, and even overtime couldn\'t decide this one
and the semifinal between Japan and France ends in a tie,
We move into a penalty shootout to determine who goes on to the final,
In the end, we couldn\'t win!
It\'s over,
We defended,
Are you all right, guys?
Team Japan is utterly drained,
But they fought well,
From early in the match they\'ve been battling with just ten players,
This tie may very well be a win for them,
Well done, guys,
Warm applause from the stands for both teams that fought so hard,
And fight hard they did,
both Japan and France,
Good job, France!
You did well!
Great game by both teams!
Well done, Japan!
Nice game, France, Japan!
You guys are the best,
Oh, Elle,
Okay, guys, no time to bask in the glory,
We still have the penalty shootout,
Tsubasa,
This time it\'s five against five,
We are no longer down one,
Yeah!
Wakashimazu?
Leave it to me, I\'ll stop \'em even if it pulverizes my arm,
All right, guys, Penalty shootout,
Let\'s do it like we practiced,
All right,
The penalty shootout starts now,
Five members from each team will take turns shooting for the goal,
If that doesn\'t decide it, they will take turns until it does,
Will fortune smile on Japan or France?
Tsubasa,
They\'ve gone to a penalty shootout,
Which one will win?
Wakashimazu, the Japanese goalie enters the goal,
France kicks first,
First one up is Captain Elle Sid Pierre himself,
The all-important task of that first shot to decide
who goes to the final goes to none other than Pierre,
Pierre,
Pierre! Pierre!
