The smell of the grass when I stumbled,
the endless blue of the sky above,,,
This winding, back-and-forth path
is a map for our endless dreams,
Even if my hopes miss the goal
if I stand back up, my dreams will never end,
No,1! Race forth, faster than anyone,
Make a starting dash toward the world stage with your tricky plays!
Run & Run!
Aspirations are the one buzz, buzz, buzz that gets us moving
Blaze, blaze, blaze! Let\'s go, it\'s kickoff!
Leap out into an enormous dream field!

Moete seishun kakenukero,
Hey, look over there at the ace passing through,
He\'s the best, and the whole town cheers him on,
Butterfly samba, zig-zag samba,
Even little old ladies go around talking about him,
So, even if we have him, who are we?
The ball spins round and round,
Dash, dash, dash! Kick and dash!
One day, I\'ll score with a lightning shot!
When that happens, I\'ll become a super hero!
Dash, dash, dash! Kick and dash!
This fierce youth is on the field!
OOZORA,
So, today is the day,
Yes!
I\'ll catch up with you later,
All right! You are our coach after all,
I\'m off!
OOZORA,
Does he always do that when he goes outside?
Yes, he does!
I wonder if it\'s okay though,
In order to improve his football skills,
he was going to transfer to Shuutetsu Elementary with the famous football club, right?
He chose Nankatsu himself, so it\'ll be okay,
It looks like he even made friends there,
Moreover,
you\'ll be the one coaching him,
His father was really happy about it,
EPISODE 4: TSUBASA AND ROBERTO,
MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS REPORT MR, ROBERTO HONGO,
Hey, Roberto!
Have you brought the uniform you wore
when you played for the Brazilian national team?
What?
I want to see the uniform you wore then, Roberto!
All right,
This is so cool!
Number 10!
Have a look at this, Mom! It\'s the real thing!
It looks really good,
By the way Roberto,
you have washed it, right?
Of course I have!
Roberto!
I\'ll take the world on with the best Japanese team,
Even Brazil won\'t stand a chance against me,
There you go,
I won\'t ever forget those words,
Okay!
"The world", he says,,,
MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS REPORT MR, ROBERTO HONGO,
NANKATSU TOWN NANKATSU ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,
Good morning!
What? Did you just say that the football club won a match?
How about you see the score with your own eyes?
Wow, you are right!
You won 5-2 against Nishigaoka Elementary?
That\'s awesome!
How did your lame football club managed to score 5 goals?
Well, thank you for asking,
Our new club member, Oozora Tsubasa,
scored four of those goals all by himself,
What\'s more, the one who scored the deciding fifth goal was me!
My head shot made a perfect goal!
It was thanks to Tsubasa\'s cross though,
Hold on a minute, Who is this Tsubasa you\'ve been talking about?
When did you have a new member?
Well,
we had a fated encounter during this spring break,
Fate? What are you talking about?
So, it means that if it weren\'t for that Tsubasa guy,
you wouldn\'t have scored any goal,
One person scoring four goals is even better than a hat trick,
Even Shuutetsu doesn\'t have someone like him,
We have other things that will surprise you,
Our football club now has a coach,
Yeah, I nearly forgot, ,
Our coach is a former member of the Brazilian national football team, Roberto Hongo,
Brazilian national team?
Isn\'t that awesome? He\'s an acquiantance of Tsubasa,
Just what kind of guy is Oozora Tsubasa?
Look, Tsubasa is coming,
Is that Tsubasa?
Yeah, that\'s Oozora Tsubasa,
Why is he dribbling?
As expected of him, He\'s probably been dribbling his way from home,
From his home?
He\'s always like that,
Wherever he goes, he keeps on dribbling,
Is that so?
He\'s really good at it,
It must be true that he scored five goals,
He looks like the kind of guy who can do it,
Well, I scored one of them,
He only got four goals in,
Hey, Tsubasa!
Good morning, Ishizaki!
6TH YEAR CLASS 1,
OOZORA TSUBASA,
This is Oozora Tsubasa,
he\'ll be your friend from today on,
Get on well with him, everyone,
My name is Oozora Tsubasa, Nice to meet you!
By the way,
why have you brought a football here?
It\'s my friend,
Your friend?
Yes!
Teacher, Tsubasa has joined the football club,
This year, our club will be different from before,
The inter-school tournament will be great!
Cheer leader, I\'m trusting you with cheering us on,
Will you be okay with setting your goals that high?
Isn\'t Tsubasa the awesome one?
The rest of you are just members of the no-good football club,
That\'s not true,
Until the tournament, if Ishizaki and the others become
even better friends with the ball, they\'ll get better at football,
Roberto said so,
He said it again, "friend",
Very well!
Let\'s go and see the football club\'s practice after school,
All right!
Well,
the entrance ceremony is about to begin,
Students of Nankatsu Elementary,
especially those in the fourth and upper grades who are in a sports club,
are all restlessly waiting for today\'s entrance ceremony to end,
From today on,
you\'ll start intensely practicing in preperation for the inter-school tournament with Shuutetsu,
- Don\'t slack off! - Okay!
This year\'s inter-school tournament has baseball club\'s third year of consecutive victories at stake!
Yeah!
We, the kendo club,
will erase last year\'s humiliation!
Don\'t give up, keep on running!
The inter-school tournament is just around the corner, Don\'t relax yet!
The inter-school tournament,,,
It\'s a sports festival where each club of the two elementary schools of this town,
Nankatsu Elementary and Shuutetsu Elementary,
compete during a whole day,
On the eve of the 26th tournament,
Nankatsu has 12 victories, 12 losses and a draw,
It\'s a perfect tie,
SHUUTETSU NANKATSU
12 WINS 12 LOSSES 1 DRAW ,
NANKATSU\'S CERTAIN VICTORY,
One, two! One, two!
This year, we\'ll finally settle the score,
It\'s no wonder that each club is fired up,
Right, Boss?
The biggest problem is the football club,
Let\'s go and see how good Tsubasa is, Boss!
All right, we\'re off to the football field!
Okay!
Oh my, Roberto just left this lying around here,
Ace striker, number 10,,, Roberto Hongo,
He\'s not Tsubasa, but that\'s still very cool,
Oh, I need to clean,
Oh no!
MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS REPORT MR, ROBERTO HONGO,
"Ophthalmology"?
I\'m sorry, Roberto,
What does this mean?
Roberto,,,
It can\'t be,,,,
The weather\'s so nice!
Dear Coach João,
After all, it was useless,
I did verything I could,
and upon the advice of Captain Oozora,
I\'ve finally made it back to Japan,
Yet, the diagnosis results still say that
I have retinal detachment,
It\'s true that we were late to notice it,
If I keep on playing football any longer,
and receive a strong shock during a match,
I will become blind forever,
Please announce that I\'ll be retiring,
I plan to stay in Japan for the time being,
Incredible dribbles from the Brazilian national team player, Roberto Hongo!!
No, I have become unable to play football,
As things are, it might be best for me if I lived in my homeland, Japan,
You don\'t need to worry about me,
I\'ve been preparing myself for this ever since I left Brazil,
But if ever return to Brazil one day,
I have a feeling that,
I won\'t be alone,
In my homeland, Japan, I\'ve found a new flame,
Guys, let\'s start practicing!
Yeah!
And that flame\'s name is Oozora Tsubasa,
- Roberto! - Coach!
All right! Let\'s do this!
Roberto!,
Awe-awesome,,,
Nice shot, Roberto!
Nice pass, Tsubasa!
Cool!
Did you see it? Did you? Did you see what happened now?
Yeah,,,
Tsubasa is cool too,
but that old man is not bad either, That long shoot was something,
Is that their coach?
You know, the one Ishizaki was talking about, the Brazilian player,
He was called "something" Hongo,
The name\'s Roberto Hongo,
You are talking to a Brazilian national player, guys,
An ex-player though,
Who are you?
They are the cheering squad of Nankatsu,
My name is Nakazawa Sanae,
I\'m the leader of Nankatsu Elementary\'s cheering squad,
Everyone calls her "Boss",
You didn\'t have to say that now,
Really? Have you come to cheer our football club?
Well, not really,
We heard about yesterday\'s match with Nishigaoka Elementary from Ishizaki,
and we\'ve become curious about Tsubasa and you, coach,
Ishizaki was boasting about
our lame football club having such a big transformation,
We\'ve come to see how you have changed,
Okay! We\'ll start with a match,
A match?
It\'s a welcoming party for our new member, Tsubasa,
Is this a welcoming party?
This will be the opposite of the time when I first met Tsubasa,
the match between him and B team of Shuutetsu,
Tsubasa will be attacking alone,
Ishizaki and others will pass the ball, mark him,,,
In short, you\'ll try not to have the ball taken from you,
If Tsubasa gets the ball, he\'ll shoot,
The time limit is five minutes,
If his shoot becomes a goal, Tsubasa wins,
If you manage to protect your goal for five minutes, Ishizaki\'s side wins,
Okay!
Isn\'t this a crazy game?
Even if it\'s Tsubasa, isn\'t being alone hard?
Sshh! Shut up and watch,
We are playing against Tsubasa,,,
He\'ll get the ball in the blink of an eye,
You guys are too weak!
If he takes the ball, you just have to take it back,
Wouldn\'t winning against Tsubasa be the best?
Ishizaki, you are so optimistic!
Us vs, Tsubasa,,, Let\'s do this!
Come, Tsubasa!
Here I go, everyone!
Start!
Here he comes! Nagano, follow Tsubasa!
I\'m on it!
I\'m sorry Tsubasa,
We\'ll be holding you down for the next five minutes, ,
He\'s passed!
Hey, he\'s wide open, ,
Oda!
Nakazato!
Oh shit!
God damn it! ,
Come on, recover it!
I\'ve got it,
He\'s fast,
Guys, chase him!
He\'s so strong,
Ishizaki\'s team is no match for him,
He\'s got great talent, Boss,
It\'s like the ball is a part of him,
3 minutes to go,
We still have time,
Let\'s recover the ball, ,
We must not disappoint Roberto!
- Ok! - All right!
Get up, Manabu,
Just one more minute left,
Good!
They\'ve changed their attitude!
We\'ll quickly improve ourselves by training with Tsubasa!
Coach knew about that, that\'s why he chose him as our opponent!
Perfect, we\'ll go for the victory in the inter-school tournament!
Let\'s go!
It\'s in the back of the net!
It\'s over!
Too bad, we\'ve lost it!
Tsubasa is really amazing!
Tsubasa, you always have a hell of a kick,
It\'s because of my love for the football,
What the hell is wrong with you, Boss? ,
Have you lost your tongue?
You look like a different person, ,
Boss? Hello?
Tsubasa
is so cool! ,
You\'re getting mushy!
Congratulations to everyone, ,
You have managed to cling to Tsubasa,
Now you\'re going to follow my methods exactly,
- Cool? - Yes,
Shoot!
Is there any news?
Yes, they\'ve started seriously training
under the direction of Roberto Hongo,
I\'m curious to see how far that team will progress
under his direction,
Other players are worthless,
Against Nishigaoka only Tsubasa made the difference,
Don\'t underestimate them,
Sure, but only Tsubasa can match me, ,
That training was really hard,
This Brazilian coach gave them a hard time,
I\'m exhausted just by looking at them,
I\'m toasted! ,
And I can\'t move, ,
Seriously, you guys are bunch of sissies, ,
What the hell is your problem, Boss?
Look at Tsubasa,
He still looks good,
Bu he\'s not like us!
No wonder everybody calls you lame,
I thought you guys had changed?
Calm down, It\'ll take time, ,
Be patient,
But, I can\'t!
Inter-school tournament is about to start! ,
You\'re right! That\'s why,
you\'ll have to be friends with the ball
to win your match,
Tsubasa and coach often talk about that,
How can we become friends with the ball?
Always be with it,
Take it everywhere where you\'re going,
at school, while eating lunch etc,
Isn\'t that how always you do, Tsubasa?
Yeah, pretty much,
Are you dribbling all the way coming to school?
Yes!
Tsubasa didn\'t learn that from me,
He\'s been doing it since he was a little boy, ,
From now on, you can\'t use your hands,
The football doesn\'t like to be carried on hands, ,
No way!
Do we have to dribble
wherever we go like Tsubasa?
You can do it!
Yeah, you have to!
Easy for you to say,
You want to get better, right?
What about the goalkeepers?
Same goes for you but sometimes
you can use your hands too,
- Cool! - That\'s not fair!
That will be all for today,
Go home while dribbling!
W-What?
See you later Tsubasa,
See you tomorrow guys,
Be careful,
Don\'t be an embarrassment to Tsubasa!
Shut up!
It seems like very hard for them, ,
These guys are awful,,,
That\'s how they will make a progress,
Can\'t wait for
the start of the inter-school tournament!
I\'m starving! I have to go home quickly,
What am I going to do Ishizaki?
What a mess,,,
Huh?
Do you live around here Manabu?
Not really but my friend won\'t listen to me!
I\'m not sure if we can make it home like this, ,
It\'s cool to be goalkeeper!
He\'s very good,
As good as when I was at his age,
No,,, maybe even more,
There you go! The ball hasn\'t touched the ground, ,
Do you like football Tsubasa?
What a question, of course I do!
Perfect! From now on you have to wake up at 5 AM to train,
I\'ll teach you what real Brazilian football is,
All right, ,
Dear coach João,
I\'ve found a glimmer of light,
His name is Oozora Tsubasa,
I\'ll take my chances on him,
I\'ll make him a world-renowned player,
I\'ve left the pitch,
but football will always be a part of my life,
COMING UP, EPISODE 5:
ON THEIR WAY TO THE INTER-SCHOOL TOURNAMENT
