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?
Wakashimazu, the Japanese goalie enters the goal,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
EPISODE 26 THE MIRACLE FIST
Pierre, Pierre!
Pierre, Pierre, Pierre!
Get it, Pierre!
We\'re counting on you, Wakashimazu,
This is no different from what you always do,
Go, Wakashimazu!
Wakashimazu is Japan\'s goalie,
Under ordinary circumstances penalty shootouts are his strong point,
Let\'s hope his injured hand and fatigue don\'t lower his reflexes too much,
That penalty kick from before,,,
I missed because the angle of his foot tripped me up,
Okay, it\'s to the right,
This time will be different,
With the crowd\'s cheers behind him, Pierre takes his approach,
Opposite of where the pivot foot points!
Go!
It\'s in! It went exactly where the pivot foot pointed,
Wakashimazu misread the direction!
C-Crap!
France gets the first point, which makes it 1-0,
All right, guys, Follow my lead,
Yeah!
With his reputation as captain
on the line, Elle Sid Pierre makes the first penalty goal,
Will Japan\'s Captain Tsubasa also be the first one up?
Amoros, Amoros, Amoros!
Amoros, Amoros!
Japan makes Hyuga their first player to go up,
Kojiro Hyuga, the ace striker for Japan,
No doubt he\'s feeling the pressure of being the first player to kick,
Hyuga\'s first up for Japan,
Go for it!
Kojiro,
The stadium reverberates with chants for Goalie Amoros,
The home team is making their voices heard,
and they demand France goes to the final,
Get out of here!
Hope you miss!
Their determination is like they\'re certain they won\'t allow a single goal,
Tsubasa,
Hyuga, ignore the crowd, Just go for it,
Right,
Hyuga\'s right leg is injured, but will he kick with it?
It\'s,,,
All I\'ve got,
Tiger Shot!
Goal!
It\'s in!
The ball goes straight from the penalty mark to the goal,
The goalie, Amoros, couldn\'t move!
S-So fast,
It\'s an impressive goal by Hyuga!
His injured leg didn\'t stop him from smashing that ball hard!
He makes his penalty kick on grit and tenacity alone,
France and Japan have each made one, and the score is 1-1,
All right, I did it,
Nice shot, Hyuga,
It\'s 1-1 now,
Bossis is up second for France,
The chants go from Amoros to Bossis,
I\'ll stop it this time!
Let\'s cheer \'em on, guys,
Let\'s go! You can do it! I know you can!
That\'s strange,
The match should be over by now,
You got this,
Bossis shoots!
Oh, Wakashimazu stopped it!
What?
Wakashimazu!
Phew,
Oh, it\'s no good,
It seemed a done deal, but,,,
Seems Wakashimazu has little to no strength left in his right hand,
It was slapped away and went into the goal,
It\'s 2-1 France, Success number two,
I did it, guys,
Nice, Bossis,
Wakashimazu definitely would\'ve been able to stop that,
This must hurt for Japan,
Sh-Shoot,
Wakashimazu,
Keep fighting, Come on, Wakashimazu,
Who will be up second for Japan?
It\'s Matsuyama,
Just like in that match against Furano, he\'s wearing his headband,
France has gotten both their first and second,
Japan can\'t be the first to miss,
Can Matsuyama follow in Hyuga\'s footsteps and score the penalty kick?
We\'re fighting here now
for all those Japanese players who couldn\'t make it here,
I can\'t miss,
And for Soda back there, I\'ll get this penalty kick!
Eagle Shot!
It\'s in!
The penalty shootout between Japan and France is currently tied at 2-2,
Amoros jumped in the right direction, but Matsuyama\'s Eagle Shot
went straight into the net before he could reach,
Matsuyama,
The third player to go for France is Michel Ferreri,
Ferreri! Ferreri!
But how is Wakashimazu\'s right hand feeling now?
Can he really stop a shot?
You can do it, Wakashimazu,
You got this!
Ferreri! Ferreri!
Ferreri! Ferreri! Ferreri!
Ferreri approaches and shoots!
Goal! It\'s in! France makes it 3-2,
It\'s no use, without my right hand in order, I can\'t stop it,
Good going, Ferreri,
Nice shot!
Wakashimazu was trying to protect
his injured hand by going after the ball on his right side with his left hand,
But he just couldn\'t reach it,
France stays one point ahead, Another tough one for Japan,
And the third person is,,,
Oh, it\'s Misaki!
Taro Misaki steps up as the third kicker,
Taro,
Go! Just ignore them,
Get it in, Misaki,
I can\'t miss,
Otherwise this match will be my last one with the guys,
I\'m going to play one more match with them,
I\'m going to play in the final against Germany with everyone,
This tournament has finally helped me make up my mind,
I\'ve been struggling with it ever since I got here,
No matter how many years it takes my dad to return to Japan to paint Mt, Fuji,,,
As a citizen of Japan, I will continue to wear the flag and play for my country,
No more doubts, no more worrying,
For the rest of my life, I\'m going to play for Japan with Tsubasa and the guys,
Misaki takes his time with the approach,
Misaki,
CAPTAIN TSUBASA: JUNIOR YOUTH ARC,
BIRTH DATE DECEMBER 29 / HEIGHT 172 CM WEIGHT 60 KG / BLOOD TYPE A,
Goal by Misaki! It\'s in! Just barely in on the left side,
No way the goalie could\'ve reached that!
Amazing control,
All right!
Nice shot, Misaki,
- Well done! - Misaki!
Thanks, guys,
And once again it\'s a 3-3 tie,
Neither team has missed!
The tension continues,
The fourth kicker for France is Jean Rust,
Rust! Rust! Rust!
I\'ll stop it,
I don\'t need to catch it, I just need to knock it away,
I\'ll stop it with my right hand,
Japan needs to stop this one!
The wounded lion, Goalie Wakashimazu,
His solitary battle carries on,
Rust! Rust! Rust!
Rust! Rust!
Which way will Rust kick?
They know about Wakashimazu\'s injury,
and so far, all three have kicked it to the right side of the goal,
What will Rust do?
This time for sure, with this right hand,
Goalie Wakashimazu seems to have anticipated, jumping to the right,
Oh, it\'s gone to the left!
The opposite of Wakashimazu\'s read,
Blast it,
France doesn\'t miss,
Just as they practiced,
they continue to accurately put the ball into the corners of the goal,
Nice, Rust! Good going!
Looks like Captain Pierre is directing where to kick,
The fourth one to try for Japan is Misugi,
He\'s at a disadvantage with his heart problem,
but with no more substitutions, he\'s battled through it all,
A true warrior, Jun Misugi,
He\'s officially in the fourth kicker in this penalty kick out,
Misugi, you wouldn\'t let me convince you otherwise,
I\'m rooting for you, kid,
Jun! Jun is,,,
Are you all right, Misugi?
Misugi,
I\'m fine, Just sit back and watch,
This is my final duty this tournament, Don\'t worry,
I feel it,
I can hear it,
My heart gets stronger every time I play,
Here I go!
Misugi, with a lighter approach, shoots!
Goal! He skillfully puts it into the left corner!
Nice shot, Jun!
He did it!
All right!
For Misugi, the penalty kick has become his crowning glory,
Wakashimazu, I did it,
Misugi,
Napoleon!
The fifth man up for France is Napoleon!
Japan no doubt will now send in their captain, Tsubasa,
I\'m counting on you, Napoleon,
Yeah,
If these two can\'t settle it,
then they\'ll come out one by one,
and keep going until one misses,
That makes this fifth kicker all the more critical,
Japan\'s goalie,
How dare you get in the way of my three hat tricks in three matches!
But I haven\'t given up on being top scorer,
Just two points stand between me and leader Schneider,
Overturning it in the final is totally a possibility,
It\'s all or nothing, I\'m going to the right again,
If Misugi can put his life on the line,,,
Then what\'s the big deal about this hand?
Napoleon starts his approach,
That right hand! You can kiss it good bye,
Napoleon shoots!
Take that, Cannon Shot!
You want at my hand? Come and get it then!
Karate Punch Defense!
He stopped it!
Wakashimazu\'s Karate Punch Defense has destroyed Napoleon\'s Cannon Shot,
Wh-What?
With the fifth player up, France misses the penalty kick,
Wakashimazu overcomes his injury!
His right hand pulls off a super golden defense!
See that? I stopped it!
Ken Wakashimazu, the Karate Keeper, is still alive and punching,
Wakashimazu!
H-He did it!
Amazing!
Well done, Wakashimazu,
With the fifth kicker, Wakashimazu finally stops one,
Not only that, he stops France\'s ace striker Napoleon!
N-No way,
Napoleon,
Nice defense, Wakashimazu,
My right arm is as good as dead,
The rest is up to you, Tsubasa,
And as the fifth kicker, the captain of Japan Junior Youth,
Tsubasa Ozora, steps up,
Nice one, Wakashimazu,
You went for it, completely forgetting your injury,
I won\'t let that fighting spirit go to waste,
Tsubasa!
We\'re counting on you,
France misses with number five,
Japan team so far have four members,
Hyuga, Matsuyama, Misaki and Misugi who have all scored,
If Tsubasa scores, Japan wins and goes to the final,
Tsubasa!
Tsubasa,
Get it in!
Tsubasa, don\'t miss,
Tsubasa,
Miss! Miss!
Not surprisingly, the home crowd wants anything but a goal from Tsubasa,
Miss! Miss! Miss!
The ball is my friend,
Tsubasa is smiling,
It\'s done,
Japan has won, Coach Barbas,
Tsubasa initiates his approach,
Let\'s go!
Tsubasa shoots!
Amoros jumps to the left!
And the ball goes to the left!
Tsubasa\'s superb goal is in the left corner of the net,
I-It\'s in! Japan!
They win the penalty shootout with 5-4 and go on to the final!
We did it, we did it!
In this most critical of moments, Tsubasa would never miss,
Tsubasa!
We won! We won, Wakashimazu! It\'s all thanks to you,
We really won, Tsubasa,
Yeah,
Wakashimazu, we won!
- We won! We won! - Nice shot, Tsubasa!
- We\'re going to the final! - We did it!
We beat France!
And what a battle that was,
This semifinal against France,
Team Japan had to fight with only ten almost as soon as the match began,
That\'s why we didn\'t see their usual offensive game,
as they concentrated on defense,
Japan had to stick to playing an endurance game,
But that tenacity brought them a miracle!
Yay, we did it!
They\'re going to the final!
Only Tsubasa,
Tsubasa,
Matsuyama!
Congratulations, Jun!
This calls for a toast!
Everyone, well done!
S-Sorry, guys, It\'s my fault,
It\'s not your fault,
That\'s right, Napoleon, that was an amazing shot,
There\'s nothing you could\'ve done about that one,
Today was just his day,
Guys,
Napoleon,
Our soccer doesn\'t end today,
Everything begins today,
France Junior Youth lost today,
But this loss will make us stronger,
French soccer will grow stronger,
They now will strive to take down the incredible Team Japan,
Misaki,
Pierre,
Our one-on-one showdown became a team effort, and today was our loss,
But our battle has just begun,
Pierre,
One day, I\'ll challenge you again, You\'ll accept, right, Misaki?
Yeah, Pierre,
I didn\'t think Japan was so strong,
France played really well,
Both teams fought hard,
Don\'t let this get you down!
Congratulations, Misaki,
I\'ll cheer for you in the final and for Japan, the victors against France,
Warm applause and huge cheers for both teams for a well fought match,
I sound like a broken record, folks, but both teams truly excelled,
That\'s right,
We gotta show our thanks to all the people who braved the rain
and cheered us on till the end,
Banzai! Banzai!
Oh, they\'re all coming this way,
Thank you for cheering for us until the very end, everyone,
No biggie,
Good luck in the final, We\'ll be cheering for you,
Thank you,
Schneider, Japan will be our opponent in the final,
Yeah,
But it doesn\'t matter who it is, The outcome will be the same,
The winners will still be us, Germany Junior Youth,
Roberto, since Japan won,
I\'ll come back another day to talk to Tsubasa about recruiting him,
Coach Barbas, who do you think will win the final?
Unfortunately, I think it\'ll be Germany,
Even with Tsubasa Ozora, I doubt Japan can beat Germany,
If Japan does win, could you hold off on talking to him?
What?
I want to recruit him to Brazil first,
Roberto!
This is strange, Definitely strange,
The match should be long over by now, And yet no one,,,
Soda!
We won! We won, Soda!
It went into a penalty shootout,
but Wakashimazu stopped them and Tsubasa scored and we won!
Let\'s get you into the final!
Guys, I see,
That\'s great!
Soda,
Idiot, who cries at a time like this?
But I was all by myself and so worried,
Were you lonely?
NEXT EPISODE THE LIONS OF THE FINAL!
