Incredible! That was a terrific shot!
This must be the rumored super shot some of the media were speculating about,
the Tiger Shot!
We were lucky,
Damn it!
I got distracted by Tsubasa\'s movements, and wound up not hitting it dead on,
The Tiger Shot\'s power is still scary,
even after having already seen it several times before,,,
We can do this! We can win!
As long as we get the ball to Hyuga,
we are sure to win this,
EPISODE 47: A FATEFUL SHOWDOWN, ONCE AGAIN,
The final match between Nankatsu and Toho has started with a bang!
The ball is being replaced now,
Power and speed enough to blow a ball up,,,
So that\'s the Tiger Shot,
Who would\'ve thought Hyuga had such an amazing shot in store,,, ,
What are you talking about, guys?
We have Tsubasa,,,
No,,, In this final match, we have to,,,
We have to do our best!
If our spirits waver, there\'s no way we\'ll be able to beat Toho!
Yes, Ishizaki\'s right!
He really said it, We have to do our best!
Let\'s go!
We should score the first goal and take some of the burden off of Tsubasa\'s shoulders!
Yeah!
Guys,,,
Come at us if you will, Nankatsu,
No matter how closely you mark Hyuga,
I will break through and make sure my passes reach him!
It\'s on, Tsubasa!
That Tiger Shot lit up Tsubasa\'s fighting spirit!
Tsubasa vigorously closes in on Toho\'s side by himself!
Tsubasa!
Here\'s an attack from the ex-Shutetsu Trio, Izawa, Taki and Kisugi,
who have gotten even stronger during this tournament,
In this final match
we can\'t put the whole burden on Tsubasa,
We have to do this!
Let\'s get down to it, Toho!
Damn it! As expected, the attacks Tsubasa starts flow too smoothly!
Captain! Please don\'t come back here!
We will stop this attack ourselves!
Guys!
Nankatsu are attacking!
But, Toho\'s defense in front of their goal is unyielding!
Like I\'d let you shoot!
Izawa!
The ball goes back to Izawa!
He\'s gonna shoot!
We\'ll stop him!
Let him shoot!
If it\'s from that far, it won\'t make a difference!
What did you,,,
Wakashimazu!
Damn you! Do you take me for a fool?
Come!
Izawa!
Let me shoot!
Ishizaki!
Wakashimazu!
They made it look like Izawa would shoot, but here\'s a shot from Ishizaki!
Don\'t you dare look down on Nankatsu!
Wakashimazu was distracted for a moment, there!
Still, he manages to perfectly catch Ishizaki\'s shot towards the corner of the goal with a long, sideways leap!
Nice one, Wakashimazu!
Damn it!
That was close, Ishizaki!
I really can\'t let my guard down around the rest of Nankatsu, not just Tsubasa,,,
Wakashimazu, as long as we have you, I have no worries,
It\'s my turn now,
I\'ll open the score with my Tiger Shot!
Against anyone else, that shot would\'ve been a goal,
It\'s true that Wakashimazu is no ordinary goalkeeper,
While my leg is still fine, I should put us ahead with a Drive Shot,,,
Hyuga might really be an eternal rival for Tsubasa,
Because, the way I see it, every time he plays against him,
Tsubasa shines the most,
Here!
Toho is passing the ball around in the midfield area,
Of course, they\'ll try to get the ball to Hyuga,
who has come back to play in this tournament armed with his Tiger Shot,
Mark Hyuga thoroughly!
Got it!
The ball is sent to the first-year playmaker, Sawada!
I must make a pass reach Hyuga, no matter what!
The one who is coming for Sawada is none other than Tsubasa!
Tsubasa! ,
To prevent Hyuga from using his Tiger Shot,
first, I\'ll stop Takeshi,
A showdown between two fellow control towers in the midfield! ,
That\'s just like in my match!
In football, the one who rules the midfield can swing the match to their advantage,
Tsubasa has made it this far following that principle,
Let\'s go Takeshi!
Send the ball to me, Takeshi!
Koike!
As a playmaker, Tsubasa is my idol!
Takeshi!
Please,
let me go against him now!
Sawada confronts Tsubasa!
Takeshi!
Izawa slides through and cuts the duel short!
What?!
Nice, Izawa!
Nankatsu\'s Shutetsu Trio attack!
As he advances, Izawa has,
Taki on his right side,
and Kisugi on his left,
To whom will he send a pass?
We won\'t let him!
Yeah!
Izawa, over here!
Tsubasa!
Okay!
Izawa sends the ball back!
And,,,
The ball reaches Tsubasa!
I will do this for everyone!
Tsubasa! ,
Tsubasa!
Go!
- Drive Shot! - Drive Shot!
Here it is!
This time, it\'s Tsubasa\'s super shot, the Drive Shot!
Here it comes!
Wakashimazu!
So this is Tsubasa\'s Drive Shot!
It\'s the first time I\'ll see it firsthand,
The goalkeeper Wakashimazu is on the move against the Drive Shot,
But he can\'t reach!
The ball ruptures upon hitting the goalpost!
This is the same thing we witnessed with the Tiger Shot!
The power behind that Drive Shot is insane!
I can\'t use my Drive Shot as many times as I want, Yet,,,
A-awesome,,,
Tsubasa\'s Drive Shot is something to behold too,
The speed was on par with our captain\'s Tiger Shot,,,
It flies over to the goal, then it falls,
No,,, it\'s not just that it\'s falling,
It\'s diving,
It\'s like the ball is aiming to dive down,
Both teams have attacked and defended relentlessly from the start!
And among this battle, the showdown between Hyuga\'s Tiger Shot and Tsubasa\'s Drive Shot,
which far surpasses the middle school level, is quite breathtaking!
Well played, Toho,
Nankatsu really are a force to be reckoned with,,,
Just 5 minutes have passed in the first half,
Both teams seem to be on equal footing so far,
That was a close call, Tsubasa!
Yeah,
Are you all right, Wakashimazu?
Guys,,,
I may have found a clue to stop the Drive Shot,
Wakashimazu?!
Wakashimazu,,,
Captain!
Please fire another Tiger Shot for me!
It will help serve as a measure against Tsubasa\'s Drive Shot in the final,
Please!
There\'s no spin in my shot, you know,
But I think the speed and the power are somewhat similar,
Please!
All right, I hear you!
Damn it,,,
So I can\'t after all,,,
All right! Once more!
Here I go!
It\'s all thanks to my special training with the captain,,,
I will stop him!
I, Ken Wakashimazu, will stop Tsubasa Ozora\'s Drive Shot! ,
So guys, pour your entire spirit into this game, as Toho always do!
Yeah!
Wakashimazu has always been so calm,
While I wasn\'t playing, you really pulled Toho together,
No, it wasn\'t only Wakashimazu,
Captain! Don\'t come back here!
We will stop this attack ourselves!
Let me go against him now!
You guys have all grown up so much,,,!
The game resumes with a new ball,
Oh! Hyuga leaves Nankatsu\'s goal and comes back all the way to the midfield,
Hyuga!
It\'s as the coach says,
I bear a huge responsibility for selfishly leaving my team,
For everyone who worked to win their way here,
I, Kojiro Hyuga, will score the first goal!
Send it to me, Wakashimazu!
Captain!
All right!
The ball is going to Hyuga!
Is he intending to act as the playmaker in the midfield?
Hyuga,,,?
Mark him!
He can fire a Tiger Shot, even from that far out!
If you mark me here, the front of your goal
will be unprotected, you know,
Fall back, Ishizaki, Nakazato!
We\'ll hold Hyuga down in the midfield!
O-okay!
Now!
Before they can mark him, Hyuga sends a pass!
But there\'s no one at the front line,,,?
Oh! Sawada is there!
The midfielder Sawada is running to the forwards\' position!
Hyuga,,,
Hyuga and Sawada swap their positions,
This looks bad!
Fall back!
Kojiro Hyuga the midfielder, huh,,,
Thanks to mastering that long shot, the Tiger Shot,
he\'s being marked even when he\'s in the midfield, thus allowing other players to go free,
All right! Here I go!
Tsubasa goes to mark Sawada!
Did he see through Toho\'s plan to change positions?
You\'re awesome, Tsubasa!
Way to go, Football Kid! ,
Tsubasa,,,
Now!
This is a perfectly coordinated play between Sawada and Toho\'s second forward, Sorimachi!
All right! Go for it, Sorimachi!
Sorimachi shoots!
But Morisaki punches it away with a sideways jump!
Nice, Morisaki!
Toho miss a chance to score by a hair\'s width!
Izawa and Hyuga chase after the loose ball,
What?!
Captain!
Oh no!
All right!
This ball is Hyuga\'s!
He advances up the sideline,
Hyuga!
Captain!
Sawada and Sorimachi go up in front of the goal!
Who will he send the ball to?
I can see it!
Eat this!
Tiger Shot!
It\'s in!
Nankatsu couldn\'t even move a muscle!
That\'s it!
Hyuga directly scored a goal with a dead-angle shot!
With today\'s second Tiger Shot, Toho Academy opens the score!
,
In the National Middle School Football tournament grand finals,
Toho Academy have opened up the score!
This is also Hyuga\'s first goal in this tournament!
We did it! The first goal is ours!
He did it! Did it!
Our big bro did it!
Kojiro,,,
We did it!
You did it, Hyuga!
That\'s our captain,
He can score, even if there\'s barely any openings, ,
A powerful straight shot—that is the essence of Kojiro Hyuga\'s Tiger Shot,
A tiger\'s fang that sinks in as fast as a flash of light, The Tiger Shot,,,
Truly, that\'s a finisher suitable for Kojiro,
Despite not playing with the team for a bit,
he\'s easily meshed right in with their teamwork,
Guys, don\'t let your guard down just because we scored once,
The real match is starting now,
Yeah!
Maybe, despite any of my reasons, this team really needed Kojiro Hyuga after all,
I couldn\'t even move an inch,
Sorry, this only happened because I let him get open,
That Tiger Shot is really an awesome shot,
Tsubasa,,,!
We must do everything possible to stop him from using it again,
We won\'t let Hyuga run free,
Also, as needed, the midfielders should mark him when he\'s in the midfield,
while the defenders mark him at the back,
Okay, let\'s gather ourselves and retaliate!
Sure thing!
Here I come, Hyuga,
I will pay you back for the goal you stole with the Tiger Shot, using my own Drive Shot,
The match resumes!
Guys, cheering matters the most when we\'re behind!
Let\'s make it loud!
Yeah! Do your best, Nankatsu!
The match starts now! We\'re counting on you guys!
Hell, the guys from Otomo MS have been cheering for us even all along, despite being from a different school,,,
Thank you for all you\'ve done so far,
We\'ve gotta show off a little bit, don\'t you think,,,?
Tsubasa!
Take it!
All right, go for it Ishizaki!
Ishizaki brings the ball up himself!
Come on now!
Stop him!
Heh! ,
Take it!
An excellent move!
Ishizaki pulls the defenders before passing!
But Hyuga, who was in the midfield, intercepts it!
Oh, crap!
Here I come, Hyuga!
Okay! Come, Tsubasa!
Bring it on!
Now both captains will be clashing for the ball,
Tsubasa!
Hyuga!
Don\'t, Tsubasa! Your leg will,,, ,
But Tsubasa barely avoids the duel!
What?!
Good, If you care about your leg, that\'s the correct decision,
You coward! You avoided the duel with our captain,
How spineless!
You dare call yourself Nankatsu\'s captain?!
What did you say?! ,
Tsubasa! Come, let\'s attack!
Right, I know,
Tsubasa! ,
Call me a coward, if you want,
I can\'t afford to obsess over the battle in front of me and worsen my injury,
I must only think about winning this match!
Tsubasa\'s superb dribbling makes you wonder whether he\'s really injured!
(Tsubasa has always had a strong challenger\'s spirit,
This guy\'s true strength only manifests once he\'s fallen behind and cornered,
The real reason he avoided our duel was simply because
he\'s completely focused on winning this match,
Tsubasa is already in a position to shoot!
Guys, stop Tsubasa!
I won\'t let you shoot!
Tsubasa, behind you!
,
Tsubasa promptly manages to dodge Sawada\'s tackle!
He gets ready to shoot again!
Stop him! Build a wall in front of him! ,
Don\'t let him shoot!
Go, my Drive Shot!
Tear the wall apart!
Can he really aim for a goal when he shoots it that high up?!
Of course; The Tiger Shot may be able to pierce the goal with just a glimpse,
but the Drive Shot doesn\'t even need that to succeed!
Come, Drive Shot!
The keeper Wakashimazu chooses to stay right in front of the goal line
and quickly reacts to the Drive Shot!
What?!
Usually, when a goalkeeper tries to stop a shot,
they move forward to limit the angle of success of the shot,
But, if you move towards the Drive Shot,
it will easily sail over your head and fall in,
To stop the Drive Shot, you stay as close as possible to the goal line,
and quickly react towards the way the ball is coming from,
then time your jump according to its acceleration to catch it!
He stopped it!
Wakashimazu catches the ball with one hand right before the goal line!
The Drive Shot is defeated!
Wakashimazu!
You did it!
Oh!
This is- ,
What?!
It looked like it had been defeated, but the spin on Tsubasa\'s Drive Shot wasn\'t dead yet!
The game is tied!
Nankatsu ties the game in the 10th minute of the first half!
You did it, Tsubasa! We are tied!
Tsubasa! ,
Your Drive Shot is really invincible!
The Drive Shot, which lets you shoot away without caring whether they try to block it,,,
And enough power to send the goalkeeper flying,
It\'s awesome, really,
Even if he falls behind a goal, he quickly catches up,
That\'s Tsubasa, y\'know! ,
The game is just tied, that\'s all, Now, let\'s turn things around!
Yeah!
That\'s Wakashimazu for you,
Damn, I thought I could stop it this way,
That was really close, Wakashimazu,
Captain!
But, your hypothesis was correct,
You are the first and only one who has been able to react to—and touch—the Drive Shot,
Be confident in yourself and keep going!
Sure! ,
The Drive Shot,,,
I will stop it this ti- ,
Don\'t tell me,,,
Wakashimazu is able to react to Tsubasa\'s Drive Shot,
But, no one has been able to react to my Tiger Shot so far,
If I can get the ball, whenever that is, I will score,
The match is back at square one,
Go, mark Hyuga!
I\'ve got you now!
After tying, Nankatsu steals the ball,
and are using this momentum to attack!
Tsubasa!
Nice!
Tsubasa has already shot two Drive Shots so far,
and he prepares for a third!
Like we\'d let you shoot again!
Tsubasa can\'t shoot as Toho\'s defenders crowd him!
He changes to a last-second pass!
Taki!
Tsubasa!
The ball goes high in front of the goal!
Good!
Both Tsubasa and Wakashimazu clash in mid-air,
,
Tsubasa!
Wakashimazu!
- Tsubasa! - ,
I need to clear the ball, for Wakashimazu\'s sake!
I will make the chance Tsubasa\'s given us count!
Kisugi makes it in time to shoot!
But here is Sawada, protecting the goal with a diving header!
Toho get away from the crisis!
Tsubasa!
Wakashimazu!
Are you all right, Tsubasa?
Tsubasa, that was reckless of you!
It\'s because you passed that ball, ,
Wha-,
Because you sent that ball,,,
It was a pass coming from his friend, so he desperately tried to score it,
I am fine, ,
The match has only begun,
Tsubasa,,,
He\'s playing with both his left shoulder and leg injured,
We hope his performance here won\'t be impacted by that clash,
Are you okay, Wakashimazu?
I just got hit a bit hard,
Nothing serious, ,
Wakashimazu,,,
Back in elementary school, he broke his shoulder and leg in a traffic accident,
Because of that, he couldn\'t join the team until the semifinals
of the National Youth Football Tournament,
I just hope that injury won\'t show itself right now,,,
A corner kick chance for Nankatsu!
Counting on you, Taki!
Here we go!
,
It\'s time for a comeback!
Leave it to me!
Wakashimazu clears the ball and punches it away!
Wakashimazu could\'ve normally caught this ball with both hands!
Wakashimazu\'s not his usual self! ,
The cleared ball drops in front of Tsubasa,
This will be Tsubasa\'s third Drive Shot today!
What?!
Oh, it won\'t drop!
The ball sails over the goal, just like that,
Did that happen because of the injuries to his shoulder and leg after all?!
It\'s failed!
The Drive Shot has failed!
Tsubasa,,,
I got lucky,
In the 15th minute of the first half, a predicament for Nankatsu, the champions!
Tsubasa\'s super shot, the Drive Shot, has become,,,
Has become unusable!
This can\'t be,,,
