We are nearing the end of the Sixth National Youth Football Tournament,
As neither team secured victory after 40 minutes of regulation time,
the fierce game continued into both the first and second extra times,
And now, it all comes down to these last 5 minutes!
Both Nankatsu and Meiwa have given everything they\'ve got,
and yet, the score remains tied at 2-2,
Will one of them emerge victorious in the end?
Or will the game end in a tie with both teams declared champions?
The final kick-off of the tournament will come shortly with the referee\'s whistle!
As promised, we\'ve stopped them from scoring in the first half,
Tsubasa, Misaki,,, I leave this in your hands!
Tsubasa! Misaki!
It\'s all up to you in the second half,,, our Golden Duo!
Even if my leg breaks, I\'ll play until the very end,
I absolutely must score a goal!
If I don\'t, I\'ll be wasting everyone\'s efforts in the first half,
Come at me, if you dare,
I\'d sooner die than give up another goal,
We won\'t lose,
Whatever plan you\'ve come up with is irrelevant,
All we have to do is keep attacking!
Let\'s go, Misaki!
All right!
EPISODE 27: THE MOMENT OF GLORY,
It\'s the last 5 minutes!
Keep fighting Nankatsu!
Meiwa, don\'t lose!
You\'ll be the champions!
Come! We\'ll keep attacking until the bitter end!
We\'ll steal the ball and attack!
We\'ll show you Meiwa\'s play until the very last moment!
Yeah!
Tsubasa feints his way through!
These lively moves are likely due to the rest he got in the first half!
I\'ll absolutely turn this into a goal,
Misaki!
And now he sends a splendid pass after luring his opponents in!
I won\'t let you!
He dodges! Misaki\'s movement is lively as well!
It\'s the revival of Nankatsu\'s Golden Duo!
All right, we can do this!
He loses his balance!
Looks like his injury is serious, after all!
Misaki!
Hyuga takes advantage and steals the ball!
Okay guys, we\'ll go and score!
Yeah!
With Hyuga charging forward up the middle,
Meiwa goes for a quick attack!
Can Misaki not do it,,,? ,
Taro,,,
Guys! Don\'t go losing your nerve! ,
Believe in Misaki! ,
He\'ll surely deliver!,
We\'ll stop this attack!
Okay!
Like I\'d let you through!
Keep fighting, guys!
My leg is at its limit, too,
But I need to make sure I stop Meiwa\'s attack, here!
Come on, leg,,, please hold on just a little longer!
Everyone\'s doing this all because of me,,,
Damn it!
Will this be the end of Taro Misaki,,,?!
Just let me give one final push,
Dad!
Mom!
Hyuga!
Oh no!
Hyuga is unmarked, and the ball reaches him!
Hyuga shoots!
Will it be a goal?!
No, it\'s blocked!
Tsubasa blocks Hyuga\'s shot!
What?!
Tsubasa!
Misaki, it\'s time for a swift attack! ,
Even though Misaki is down due to his leg injury,
Tsubasa still sends a pass to him!
I only have Misaki!
You can do it, Misaki!
We\'ll show them our final Golden Duo play!
Tsubasa,,,
Dad!
Mom!
This is my final play!
Misaki grits his teeth through the pain and charges forward!
What?!
Misaki!
Tsubasa heads forward!
And here it is!
This is Nankatsu\'s Golden Duo in action!
Their passes are in perfect sync, dodging defenders one by one!
Misaki, keep going!
Eat this, Wakashimazu!
This effort doesn\'t end in a goal, either!
Nice, Wakashimazu!
I\'ve got it!
Ishizaki recovers the ball!
Ishizaki! ,
Tsubasa! Misaki!
Let me in on this, too!
Take this!
Ishizaki sends a high cross!
However, Hyuga is there to cover!
Here I go!
Misaki is setting up for an overhead kick!
Misaki!
Their timing is completely off!
What?!
Tsubasa!
Misaki was a decoy, setting up Tsubasa for a clear overhead kick!
It\'s Nankatsu\'s Golden Duo\'s delayed overhead kick!
Go!
It\'s in! Goal!
- You did it! - That was great, Tsubasa!
Awesome goal!
- All right! - We did it!
What excellent cooperation between Nankatsu\'s Golden Duo!
Right as 1:30 had passed in this decisive and final extra time,
Nankatsu finally takes the lead!
Tsubasa! Misaki!
Wakabayashi\'s plan worked out! ,
- Tsubasa! - Tsubasa,,,
Hyuga was tricked by Misaki\'s jump,
He wasn\'t able to stop Tsubasa\'s overhead kick!
Even Wakashimazu was caught flat-footed and was unable to react to this shot!
Damn it!
The cooperation between Nankatsu\'s Golden Duo was marvelous!
Misaki!
Tsubasa!
Well done, Taro,
Taro!
But there are still more than 3 minutes left,
No one expects Hyuga, the ferocious tiger, to simply give up!
Don\'t you lose, Kojiro!
Don\'t throw your hopes away!
Big bro,,,
Kojiro,,,
As expected of you, Tsubasa and Misaki,
Your combinations don\'t even need discussing, as if you understood each other through telepathy,
But I have not lost yet,
Meiwa FC goes on the attack right after the kick-off!
They have enough spirit to tie this game,
Guys! Don\'t let up just because we\'re in the lead! ,
Stay focused!
Yes!
Just hold on a little longer, I\'m begging you!
Stay with us, Misaki,
We\'re almost there!
Right,
Tsubasa,,, Misaki,,,
You have taught me that I can\'t play football alone,
Hyuga!
Also, that football isn\'t just a contest of strength,
But above all, what I really felt after playing against you,
was the true joy of playing,
Football really was this fun, after all,
Hyuga quickly advances in front of Nankatsu\'s goal,
Meiwa\'s attack is really well-balanced,
Stop him!
Don\'t let him get any further!
Until now, all I had done was fight for my family, or for glory,
But now, with you as my rivals, I have come to see the true joy in playing football,
Hyuga breaks through with force!
But, even as I say that,,,
I haven\'t given up on winning!
This football I play only aims to win,
There\'s no defeat in my football!
A tackle from Ishizaki!
But Hyuga dodges with a well-timed jump!
Even if it\'s fun, there\'s no point if you lose!
Hyuga gets ready to shoot right away!
I won\'t let you score now!
Tsubasa!
Tsubasa jumps to block him!
Take this, Takeshi!
Hyuga makes a split-second decision, changing his shot to a pass, instead!
Sawada, unmarked, rushes in!
It\'s a chance to score for Meiwa!
Sawada shoots!
Wakabayashi stops them once again!
You did it!
Nice catch, Wakabayashi!
,
That was an excellent chance for Meiwa, but thanks to Wakabayashi\'s splendid save,
they were still unable to score!
I\'m sorry, Hyuga,
Don\'t dwell on it, Takeshi,
There\'s still two minutes to go,
If I can shoot at least once every minute, we can win,
Just like Tsubasa and Misaki, Wakabayashi\'s leg is injured, ,
In that last save, you can clearly see that his condition is getting much worse,
If I can just freely shoot, I can break Wakabayashi\'s goal down,
We can win this match!
,
Nankatsu is still in the lead with a score of 3-2,
Only 2 minutes remain,
This final match is about to reach its conclusion!
That goal was my responsibility,
I\'ll fully use my karate to make up for it!
If Nankatsu can just keep the ball for the remaining time, they will win! What will they do?
Let\'s go, Wakabayashi,
I will keep pushing!
All right, get that!
Wakabayashi falls to the ground as he tries to throw the ball!
Wakabayashi!
Wakabayashi seemed to be bearing with the injury to his left leg, but this is the most painful expression we\'ve seen from him until now!
Now\'s my chance!
Meiwa\'s Sawada is rushing to the goal to capitalize on this opening!
I won\'t let you!
Takasugi clears the ball!
Nankatsu has survived the danger!
But Wakabayashi has yet to get up!
Damn it,,, is this the end for me?
Genzo!
Morisaki, start warming up,
Yes, sir!
Okay, I got this!
Wakabayashi is done for,
As long as I shoot, it will be a goal,
Meiwa recovers the cleared ball,
Lets go! It\'s our chance!
Meiwa FC goes for a quick break!
Guys, we must stop them from shooting, no matter what!
We\'ll steal the ball back!
Yeah!
As Nankatsu\'s captain, Tsubasa gives the order to get into a defensive lineup,
As they\'ve realized Wakabayashi is unable to continue,
the substitute keeper, Morisaki, waits on the sidelines,
But substitutions can only be made when the ball is out of bounds,
or the game stops due to a called foul,
As I thought, Nankatsu will substitute Wakabayashi out,
I must score no matter what before that happens!
Hyuga dashes towards the goal,
Misaki sticks closely to him!
I may not be able to make any more combination plays with Tsubasa,
but I can still defend!
I will play for Nankatsu as long as my strength lets me,
I will mark Kojiro,
Misaki is marking Hyuga, their ace, thoroughly!
Meiwa can\'t find a way to pass the ball to him!
Hey!
Let\'s steal the ball!
Damn it, Nankatsu is still as tenacious as ever,
It\'s no good! I have to do something!
Less than a minute remains in the match,
Stop them!
Will Nankatsu be able to keep this score without letting them shoot?!
Damn it!
A surprise from Meiwa here!
Wakashimazu, the goalkeeper, has joined the attack!
I will score the tying goal!
Meiwa puts together a last ditch attack with their entire team!
Wakashimazu!
- Takeshi! - ,
Hyuga breaks free, taking advantage of Misaki\'s distractedness!
Hyuga!
Hyuga gets the ball!
Okay, got it!
Wha
I won\'t let you!
Tsubasa challenges with every ounce of his remaining strength!
Will Tsubasa\'s sliding tackle reach him in time?
Or will Hyuga shoot first?
It\'s their final battle!
His shot was faster!
It\'s a jumping volley from Hyuga!
Will it be the tying goal?!
Damn it all,,,
Like I\'d give up!
It\'s only my left leg that\'s hurt,,,
I still have this good one!
He jumped with his right leg alone,
What?!
He can\'t reach it,,,!
It\'s stopped!
Wakabayashi!
After jumping with his right leg, he used his hand,
extending his jump just enough to deflect the shot!
Meiwa was still unable to score!
Okay, I\'ll clear the ball!
I won\'t let you!
That\'s a karate move, a flying side kick!
If this on course, it will tie the game!
Yes!
I can\'t,,,
I won\'t let this in,
I won\'t let this shot get in!
I must stop this shot at any cost!
We will win!
He barely stopped it!
Just before reaching the goal line!
What?!
A brilliant, fine play from Misaki!
- Meiwa couldn\'t score again!
Misaki\'s momentum sends him careening into the goalpost,
Misaki!
He was only able to stop that by going full speed!
That said, he was probably aware of the risk he was taking by doing so!
Misaki\'s put himself on the line for the sake of that play!
Misaki,,,
Tsubasa,
Tsubasa,,,
Tsubasa,
TSUBASA! ,
The ball is still alive! ,
There are just 30 seconds left in this match,
Meiwa\'s betting on this last chance to go for the ball!
,
Tsubasa!
Tsubasa turns and attacks!
He keeps the ball and charges defiantly towards Meiwa\'s goal!
Tsubasa!
Return!
Meiwa can\'t steal the ball at all,
Where in that tiny body was he hiding all of this stamina?!
And let\'s not forget that his left leg is still injured!
- This heaven-sent prodigy of football, Tsubasa Ozora is putting on a one-man show! - Tsubasa!
The first match against Meiwa ended with us losing, 7-6,
Now, we\'re leading 3-2 in this final match,
That means our battle is still a tie!
To truly seize victory, we must score once more,
I will score once more and secure our win, once and for all!
And then,,,
Then, I will go to Brazil!
Stop him, Takeshi!
Okay!
,
No one will take this ball from me!
I won\'t give it up until I score once more!
What\'s wrong with Sawada, I wonder?
Tsubasa blows past him without much resistance!
Such blazing eyes,
There are only a few seconds left!
Tsubasa, this is our final battle!
I will steal the ball from you and bet everything on a long shot from here,
Come, Kojiro Hyuga!
I won\'t lose!
They clash fiercely!
Truly, this is their last confrontation!
He breaks through!
In the final clash, Tsubasa foregoes technique and breaks through with sheer force!
I lost,,, ,
It\'s all up to Wakashimazu now!
One more goal,,,
Damn it!
Tsubasa gets ready to shoot!
Wakashimazu dives for the ball,
Tsubasa pauses, dodging Wakashimazu\'s charge instead of shooting!
What?!
He\'s through!
Only Meiwa\'s goal remains in front of Tsubasa!
It\'s Nankatsu\'s victory with this!
,
The ball rips through the net and flies up into the sky!
The whistle blows, and the match is over!
We did it, Tsubasa!
We won! We won it!
We are the champions! ,
You did it!
Tsubasa!
This fierce 7-day long competition has come to an end with Nankatsu SC\'s victory,
Congratulations, Tsubasa,
You finally did it, huh?
Misaki, it\'s over,
We did it!
We\'ve won!
Yeah!
Wakabayashi!
Hey,
Misaki, we won!
Wakabayashi, we did it!
Nankatsu SC put on a good show!
Their faces are alight after this dramatic victory!
Despite losing, Meiwa FC really worked hard!
We lost,,,
They might not be the champions, but they remain the runner-ups,
Meiwa FC have really put on a good show, as well!
You did great, Meiwa!
Second place is still great! ,
Good job, Kojiro,
Big bro,,,
So, it\'s Nankatsu\'s victory,
I guess we\'ll be scouting Tsubasa after all,
Yeah,,,
Hyuga, ,
Tsubasa,
Oh,,,
As expected of you,
I\'ve lost, Tsubasa, ,
Huh?
Hyuga,,,
I didn\'t expect you\'d use your strength to get past me in the end,
You blew me away,
You deserved to win this match, ,
Hyuga, ,
Hyuga!
Misaki, even I couldn\'t do a thing against your Golden Duo with Tsubasa,
Kojiro,,, ,
Get better soon,
Wakabayashi, in the end, I couldn\'t score on you from outside the penalty area,
But next time we meet, I\'ll definitely score against you, Keep that in mind,
Sure thing! I\'m looking forward to it,
You had me at a loss,
It\'s the first time I\'ve given up 4 goals in a match,
,
Following Tsubasa and Hyuga\'s lead,
both Nankatsu and Meiwa are exchanging words and handshakes,
They\'re freely expressing their feelings cheerfully
after fighting over the last 60 minutes until the very end of the match,
The curtain closes on the National Youth Football Tournament with Nankatsu\'s victory,
However, more than anything, we wish that each team is able to treasure
the bonds of friendship that they have forged during this tournament,
You did it, Tsubasa!
Congratulations, Misaki,
Congratulations, Tsubasa,
Tsubasa, congratulations,
I have nothing else to say to you right now,
You have grown even more during this tournament,
You\'ve met many different opponents and learned different things from them,
and you\'ve made it to the end as a result,
And, just as you promised, you have successfully become National Champions,
But unfortunately, Tsubasa, I just can\'t keep my promise,
If I win, we\'ll go to Brazil together, Roberto!
This is goodbye, Tsubasa,,,
