Moete seishun kakenukero,
Previously on Captain Tsubasa,
Tsubasa Ozora, a young boy who really loves football,
is by a coincidence witness to a fight in his new town over a football field
between Genzo Wakabayash and Ryo Ishizaki,
Full of confidence that he won\'t let in any goals,
Wakabayashi stops all attempts
from the college students gathered by Ishizaki,
His incredible performance
catches Tsubasa\'s interest,
And he throws him a challenge!
Hey Wakabashi, listen close now!
He\'s the one who challenged you!
Nonsense!
There\'s no way a squirt like that has a powerful enough kick!
Let\'s find out if he really is the one!
Take this!
That\'s dangerous! Get away!
Is this a coincidence or destiny?
Either way, it is like this that Tsubasa Ozora and Genzo Wakabayashi meet,
How\'s that, Wakabayashi?
You\'ve seen what he\'s capable of!
Sign: Challenge from Tsubasa Ozora,
You\'ll take on my challenge, right?
Why did you throw me it?
He witnessed your saves from the rugby and the baseball player attempts the other day,
So that\'s why,
Captain!
It\'s you guys,
What\'s up?
Weren\'t you going home?
Perfect timing,
I admit he\'s got a very powerful shot,
But it\'d be a big error to assume he plays football just going by that!
What?!
If you want to challenge me
he\'s got to dribble all of them!
What?
Only after that I\'ll let him challenge me!
Episode 2: He\'s flying!
What do you mean, captain?
Precisely what I said,
Follow me orders,
That\'s okay, but
who\'s that squirt?
Sign: Challenge from Tsubasa Ozora,
What\'s that?
He sent this ball to my house by shooting from unbelievably far,
So that means you\'ll take on the challenge?
Yes, that\'s what it means,
Hey, Wakabayashi!
It\'s you Tsubasa wants to challenge!
It\'s pretty sick he\'s got to challenge the entire B-team!
If he doesn\'t want to, he\'ll have to leave,
That\'s dirty, Wakabayashi!
I\'ll do it!
What? You\'ll do it? Are you serious?
But he\'s about to accept my challenge,
Hold on! You\'re alone against all of them!
I don\'t really get what\'s going on, but it seems like fun,
He\'s got the balls to challenge the captain,
He\'s already lost!
Don\'t worry, Just count on me,
Uh?
You\'re a really weird guy,
Hey, Tsubasa!
I just noticed but,
will you be okay playing with those shoes?
Yeah! They\'re all I have right now,
What?! It\'ll be impossible!
They might be the B-team, they\'re still pretty good!
In addition, you\'re alone, That\'s a double handicap!
You just like a bird with broken wings!
But,,,
Someone\'s got an extra pair of cleats? Borrow them to him,
Uh, okay!
Thank you, Wakabayashi!
I don\'t need to be thanked,
I just didn\'t want you to have an excuse when you lost because you didn\'t have cleats,
All right, let\'s challenge \'em!
I\'m sure I\'ve seen that man somewhere before,,,
I wonder if he\'ll be okay,
You can see him, right?
He\'s the one who brought you back!
His name is Wakabayashi,
There he goes talking to the ball again,,,
He won last year\'s national championship without letting in any goals,
He\'s an extraordinary goalkeeper!
But I have to dribble all those players first,
before I can challenge that keeper,
What\'s he babbling?
He\'s talking to the ball!
He\'s got to have some screws loose!
You saved my life when I was really young,
I\'ll need you again!
I want to challenge him at all costs!
Stop daydreaming!
Hurry up and take the ball from him!
Y-Yes!
All right, let\'s do it!
Yeah!
Ready?
Let\'s do this!
Go!
What?
He got rid of three in one instant!
I can\'t believe this!
His shot under the driving bus,,,
These dribbles,,,
Despite his young age,
he\'s already friend with the ball!
There\'s no doubt,
This boy,,,
It\'s this boy!
Go, Tsubasa!
That squirt!
Don\'t let him shoot! Use block defense!
He\'s flying!
What?!
Go in!
The ball\'s still in play!
It\'s a bit of a waste,
but this challenge\'s worth a bit of whisky!
I know now, he\'s
he\'s the forward of the Brazilian national team,
Roberto Hongo!
Finish it with this cross!
This was how the first challenge between
the two football prodigies Tsubasa Ozora and Genzo Wakabayashi found place,
Nobody could imagine that later,
Japanese football would get tremendously better with their impulse,
Yes! He\'s scored!
Genzo!
Captain!
Are you okay?
Hold out!
You okay?
Don\'t touch me!
What\'s wrong with your head, Wakabayashi?
Shut up!
Hey, you\'re bleeding!
Captain!
Genzo!
I lost!
I lose to that squirt!
Tsubasa Ozora, was it?
Yeah,
A match,
What?
We\'ll play a match!
This duel can\'t be determined by this challenge!
Only a match can!
I\'ll take your challenge during the inter-school tournament!
The inter-school tournament?
Stop, Wakabayashi!
Listen!
If you can get even one goal there,
I will admit my defeat,
All right, it\'s on!
It doesn\'t matter who wins the match!
It\'s only to see if you can score a goal at me!
Ishizaki,
You are allowed to use the pitch until the inter-school tournament,
Train a bit
so you won\'t drag him down,
Let\'s go!
Y-Yes!
Hey, wait!
The cleats, the cleats!
O-Oh yeah,,,
I don\'t want them!
Thank you!
Uh-Uh, you\'re welcome,
Let\'s meet at the inter-school tournament!
Wakabayashi was raging like a mad,
I thought he was going to hit you!
But, it\'s really cool you scored a goal at him!
Thanks,
You made your way in,
Ishizaki!
Here!
Sorry!
It may not look like it, but I\'m the captain of Nankatsu!
Pass me the ball!
Sure!
I\'ll introduce you to our team!
Yeah! Thank you!
What\'s this inter-school tournament he was talking about?
Well, about that,,,
First, know that Nankatsu and Shutetsu are rivals in this city!
Rivals?
Yes! Damn Shutetsu!
Their football team is really famous, ,
They\'ve gotten all the best players,
so we get all the worst ones!
There\'s nothing but conflicts between Nankatsu and Shutetsu!
Today\'s fight over the football field,
is just one between many,
You said we should share the field,
but that\'s not the real issue!
Sure sounds like it,
So, about the inter-school tournament,
it\'s an annual competition between,
Nankatsu and Shutetsu\'s sports clubs,
It\'s like a festival,
Here, that popular happening surpasses the sports festival itself!
Wow, that\'s impressive!
All of our clubs are as good as Shutetsu\'s
except football,
So we\'re a burden to the other clubs all the time,
But with you on the team I\'m sure we can put up a good show!
Yeah!
Here I go!
Darn, I missed!
Thanks for that!
Nah, don\'t mention it!
You offered me a beautiful present,
Tsubasa Ozora,
My name is Roberto Hongo,
nice to meet you,
I know you well! I\'ve watched many of your matches!
Thank you!
I\'m too am glad to meet you,
He stinks alcohol! He\'s just a drunkard!
Hello! Are you a friend of Tsubasa?
Yes,
I\'m Roberto Hongo! Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you,,,
Do you like football, too?
Yeah, I do, but,,,
Really?
I\'m crazy in love about it!
He sure is enthusiastic,,,
How about I coach you until the inter-school tournament?
Our team? Coached by a wino?
That\'s right, I wouldn\'t coach a sumo club!
Wait a minute!
Don\'t you underestimate the club because it\'s an elementary school club!
Don\'t you get on a high horse because you had one good cross!
Anyone would be able to do that!
Hey, hey, that\'s not a very nice thing to say!
Stop laughing, you\'re giving me a bad taste in the mouth!
Besides, nobody would want a drunkard as a coach!
Then,
let me prove you the opposite,
He stole the ball so easily,
What\'s he up to?
Let\'s do this!
So bad! He couldn\'t even scorel!
What the hell?!
That\'s how it\'s done!
Awesome!
W-Wow!
So, do you want me as your coach?
Yes! Of course I do!
Of course! We\'ll leave this in your hat! Right, Tsuba,,,
Hey?
All right!
Tsubasa!
He wouldn\'t,,,
Tsubasa!
Oops!
Hey, you okay?
This is difficult!
Still, you have an incredible jump!
Indeed! I\'ve got a good feeling about you, Tsubasa!
Really?
Yes!
Okay, I\'ll try again!
You can\'t do it so quickly!
I bet I can!
What,,,?
He just saw my move, and is trying to copy it right away,
Now wonder he\'s progressing rapidly,
He\'s the kind who\'s got a thirst for assimilating all techniques he sees,
Eh?
He missed again,
Are you all right?
Father like son,
don\'t you think, captain Ozora?!
Sign: Natsuko: Tsubasa\'s run away!
Just like I thought, my little footballer is skipping out,
It\'s just like him, after all,
Captain!
So this is where you were,
We are approaching Japan,
Yeah, I\'ll finally be able to go home,
By the way, how old has your son gotten?
He\'s turned ten years old this year and is in his last year of elementary school,
Ten years already, eh?
Are you going to get him a game as a gift from your trip this time?
No, he\'s already got his present,
And it\'s the most beautiful thing imaginable,
Whoa, the sky and the ground\'s getting mixed together,,,
I\'m a little dizzy,,,
Tsubasa!
Even you can\'t learn this technique that fast!
I\'m sure I can!
But it\'ll be dark soon,,,
It\'s time to go home!
Besides, I\'m starving!
Not yet!
Roberto says he\'s got a good feeling about me,
We can do this!
He\'s still not good enough at the overhead kick,
But he\'s hitting the crossbar at every try now,
He\'s got amazing control!
Sign: Challenge from Tsubasa Ozora,
Observe carefully!
Look at the goal!
That\'s our target!
Let\'s score this time!
Let\'s do this!
Go in!
It\'s in the back of the net!
You\'re amazing!
I scored,,,
We scored!
Well done, Tsubasa!
You\'ve finally scored with an overhead kick!
Yeah!
Viva Tsubasa!
You\'re amazing, Tsubasa!
Miracle boy! Wonder boy!
So these are Brazilian emotions,,,?
Sign: Coming up, episode 3: Start of the renewal of Nankatsu football club!
