Original subtitles

The Kanagawa prefecture inter-high tournament.

The final Kanagawa match.

Tsujido seemed like they were playing instinctively,

but, in reality, every play was calculated.

The holes on the sides were traps.

If you're trapped, the relentless laser beam throw

of Kim, Tsujido's ace, comes into play.

That powerful penetration put Enoshima two goals behind.

What's more, Hino was aggravated

by the provocations of an old delinquent friend

and was removed after he acted out on his emotions.

In the second half, Kakeru's head was struck

during a rough ball contest.

Are you all right, Kakeru?

Thank goodness.

Huh?

The Empty 3 Seconds

In the middle of this fierce match

the ball goes to Tsujido.

Kim takes it in with a dribble.

On either side, Shindo and Seta,

and Hasegawa's in the middle as well!

Enoshima's in a real pinch again.

I won't let them in the area!

No way, no way, no way!

Kim!

Shindo!

What?

The one who intercepted it...

was Aizawa!

Damn first year!

I'll stop him!

Kakeru?

Kakeru...

Amazing! Kakeru Aizawa's dribble is lightning fast!

He's evaded two defenders in an instant,

and shows no signs of stopping.

Don't let him through! Stop him!

Was he always like this?

That number 20...

As I recall, this guy has a habit

of looking at the ball as he feints...

He's not looking at the ball!

Is it right or left?

Through the legs!

He passes the ball cleanly through his legs

and slips past another defender.

That left-right feint to slip the ball through the legs...

What's going on?

Aizawa is unstoppable!

Is he going to take it all the way with a dribble?

Number 10 goes for the tackle!

And here's a pass!

He passes the ball through a tiny space on the goal keeper's right side.

From the second line, Araki is going for this last pass!

Reach!

He doesn't reach it!

Too bad, Araki. That was definitely a chance.

I could have reached that at my best.

Like I was back then.

Hey Kakeru, what were—

Araki-san.

What did I just...

Huh? That's my line.

Your dribbling and pass just now...

Dribble? I hit my head and was only half awake.

What?

What are you doing? It's a goal kick. Get back!

Right!

Mishima-san, Kakeru-kun's play just now...

Kakeru-kun.

The gutsy Nakatsuka's header gets possession for Enoshima.

Have the tides turned?

Mark number 20!

Yes!

Number 6, Fuwa, marks Aizawa.

Is this a strategy to hold onto their two goal lead?

They've put more players on defense.

Don't crowd on defense!

Hasegawa, stay behind!

Oda's long feed!

Takase drops it to Hyodo.

Araki's not as heavily marked. All right.

Kakeru...

Going for another dribble penetration?

I'll crush you before you get the chance.

Kakeru, are you going to perform a Suguru-like play again?

If that's the case, I should give it to him

and this time when I jump out from the second line...

That dribble and pass before were amazing, but...

I won't let you!

Yes! That's it!

That's the Kakeru-like, goal hunting movement!

I see it!

This is payback!

There it is!

Araki's killer pass!

The splendid pass slips pass the defense and goes

right to Aizawa.

I can get it.

It's the forward's job to net this pass!

Kakeru!

Aizawa's right leg...

connects!

It's good! Goal!

Enoshima's first year, Kakeru Aizawa,

at 10 minutes into the second half,

finally puts in a comeback goal!

All right.

Kakeru! That dribble just now, and that pass before...

What's gotten into you?

What dribble?

Stop playing dumb!

Does he really not know?

They scored that goal

because we were concentrating too hard on defense.

Don't think about the point difference.

Play the rest of the 25 minutes as if it was 0-0!

All right!

Connect, connect!

It's now 2-1 and you might expect Tsujido

to harden their defense,

but they aren't letting up on offense!

Crush them!

Go, Shindo!

Don't lose, Aizawa!

Aizawa is keeping him on the sideline.

This might be a trap.

Keep pushing him towards the sides!

I see. By staying on the inside,

it will be difficult for the opponent

to attempt to force a throw-in.

Bring it on!

This is one method, but there must be a more decisive strategy...

Of course!

I'm counting on you guys!

Hino-san...

Junpei.

There's an amazing guy in FC.

His name's Araki.

I'm going to leave the SC and play soccer with him.

I feel like I'd be able to have fun playing soccer with him.

Won't you try playing soccer once again, Junpei?

You came, Junpei!

If you joined FC to play soccer with Araki...

then I want to play soccer with you once again.

That's what I decided.

I definitely can't lose this match.

I'll make sure you don't

feel responsible for getting removed from the game.

Mako-kun!

Ah, yes!

What a long kick!

It's going to reach the Tsujido penalty area!

Takase jumps to reach it!

Enoshima is getting their rhythm back.

15 minutes on the clock.

There's plenty of time left.

I won't lose!

Enoshima's ball.

Kakeru. Give it here.

When you get the ball, side change to Mako immediately.

Okay.

What did that mean?

Kakeru!

It's the same whether you're on the right or the left!

Don't you get that attacking on the sides

is exactly what we want you to do?

Two Tsujido players have gone out to meet the ball.

The sidelines are dangerous after all!

Mako...

Side out!

This time it's Tsujido's throw-in.

Hold on. What's going on?

Kim, on the other side of the field,

is running the long distance to take the throw-in.

What an unusual sight!

This is bad!

Kim! No! Let Ishikawa throw it!

Delay of game. Yellow card.

Why?!

In a one goal lead situation,

coming from the opposite side for a throw-in,

must be seen as an attempt to waste time.

It's a yellow card!

Kim's act of running across the field to take the

throw-in has been called as a delay of game.

This should be obvious.

Kim!

Don't take throw-ins from the far side.

All right?

Yes!

You planned this!

You play soccer with your feet, not with your hands.

A scheme for a scheme...

This should make that strong throw-in more difficult.

Now that long throw-ins have become more difficult,

this may be the last long throw-in!

Perfect.

Rather than using a long throw,

Kim drops the ball short.

What's this? Kim's dribble penetration!

He slips past two defenders and closes in on the goal!

Enoshima's in a pinch!

Enoshima's in a pinch!

That was close!

Well done, Tsujido.

They've got more than just a long throw-in.

Things are starting to get interesting.

This is turning into an amazing match.

With less than 10 minutes left,

who will win the qualifying tournament?

Will it be Tsujido? Enoshima?

I won't let you!

I won't let you pass!

Kim's strong!

Although he's an opponent,

you can't help but admire his efforts!

Sugama's long feed goes to the forward, Hasegawa.

No way, no way, no way!

The ball goes to the right side.

The captain, Sawamura, keeps it in.

Okay.

I won't let you have any more throw-ins!

Sawamura sees Kim coming

and quickly sends the ball to the other side!

Yeah! Get out of my way!

This is good.

Kim-kun's long throw is essentially sealed.

But even without a scheme,

Tsujido can still play quite well.

He's done well to train the nameless Tsujido

into the team they are now.

That's Uryu for you.

Coach Iwaki, Tsujido's Coach Uryu is...

An old teammate...

from Enoshima's FC.

It's still 1-2 with eight minutes left.

Go, Enoshima!

Just get one more goal!

Araki-san!

That's it! That's good for you, Fuwa!

Araki gets past him!

But he's looking heavy.

He can't maintain that speed and Fuwa is catching up.

Honestly, when Kim's long throw was sealed,

I thought our one goal lead would be taken right away.

Give it up!

But when it comes to you guys...

against the players trained by Teppei,

who you could easily see at nationals,

you're giving everything you've got

and fighting toe to toe!

You guys are amazing. Really.

Making us do absurd practices like this...

are you trying to kill us?

That's it, Fuwa. That's good for you.

That fierce glare is your selling point.

Are you making fun of me?

That way of yelling, too.

With that intimidating energy,

come up with a play that

will infuriate your opponent's offense.

Fuwa, that's your weapon!

We'll stop you!

Our defense isn't technical,

but Coach Uryu beat into us

concentration and determination!

I won't lose the ball that easily, either!

Aizawa chases after the ball like he knew where it was going!

Get out of my way! It's my ball!

But here's Fuwa again!

Go!

There's only five minutes left.

Enoshima can't afford to let this chance pass them by!

I'll put it in.

Let's play again, together.

I can't let this end with Junpei blaming himself!

Mako...

I'll definitely get it!

Mako, rebound!

Go!

The ball...

I...

I did it!

Goal! Makoto Hyodo gets his first goal

with five minutes left in the match, a game-tying header!

He did it!

Just what you'd expect from Enoshima's mood maker, Mako-chan!

A breathtaking rebound goal with his whole body!

Tsujido

Team | FirstHalf | SecondHalf | Overtime 1st 2nd | Total

Enoshima

It's finally 2-2.

It could be anyone's game at this point!

I can't lose.

If you take soccer away from me, there won't be anything left!

Just one more goal!

We get one more goal and we go to the finals!

We aren't going down here!

Only one, two minutes left on the clock.

It's a tie game of 2-2.

We're aiming for nationals, too!

Give up the ball!

Move!

In these last moments,

both schools are fighting with everything they've got!

All right!

I'll stop you!

I'll definitely steal it.

From there it's a counter to victory.

I'll win this.

If I score here, we win.

He's shooting! A 30 meter long shot!

What?

It's mine!

Shoot! Everybody back!

Shit!

Get back! Get back!

If it goes out here,

Kim will perform his long throw.

I won't let you throw in!

It's my last chance! It's mine!

What's going to happen?

Will there be a throw-in?

It's out!

Everyone but the keeper, go!

Get it in, no matter what!

Everyone's come running up for Kim's throw-in!

Here it comes.

Everyone in front of the goal!

Bring it!

Takase, mark Hasegawa.

Yes!

Laser beam throw!

Takase heads the ball.

Both teams attack the loose ball!

Kakeru...

If you're a striker, feel it!

Kakeru?

Ri-san!

If you're a striker, feel it.

The empty three seconds following a pinch situation,

when the attacking side loses their momentum,

they won't move to defense right away.

A striker will feel those three seconds and counter!

Go!

All right.

It's Aizawa!

While everyone else gathered around the Enoshima goal,

What?

Kakeru!

Kakeru?

one person held onto his target of the Tsujido goal!

Get out, keeper!

Stop him no matter what!

The goal keeper, prepared to perform a handball,

goes to steal the ball!

Come on! Let's make this a one move play!

Kakeru!

You're naive!

The ball disappeared?

He didn't...

He did it!

What was that play?

The goal keeper lost sight of him and he's all but scored!

I did it, Seven!

Now, Aizawa!

He shoots!

All right!

Goal! It's a comeback, Enoshima!

In the last moments on the clock,

Enoshima's first year striker, Kakeru Aizawa,

made a beautiful counter run!

Through a strange feint I've never seen before,

they've scored their comeback goal!

Kakeru, you did it.

You performed that mythical feint in a real game.

Th-The ball was right there.

What are you spacing out for?

Give me the ball!

That's right! It's not over yet!

That's right.

Until the whistle blows, no one knows what might happen.

Send the kickoff ball to the side.

No matter what,

we're making Kim's long throw happen!

That's right! The game isn't over yet!

Don't let your guard down.

The whistle hasn't blown yet.

We don't know what they're going to try next.

Not yet! It's not over yet!

Don't give up until the end!

If you take soccer away from us,

there won't be anything left!

Here!

Counting on you!

That's the long whistle and the end of the game.

Enoshima beats Tsujido by one goal, 3-2,

and wins the qualifying tournament!

Up until the second half, it was 2-0.

Enoshima was losing by two goals.

For the Enoshima Eleven,

who came back in those last moments,

there's thunderous applause.

And for Tsujido, who showed splendid fighting spirit!

You played great, too!

You guys are amazing!

Thank you very much!

Fuwa.

What, Jun Hino? Still got a problem?

That's not it.

Then, what?

I'm sorry,

for getting mad so easily.

When we used to do stupid stuff together,

we'd get in all kinds of fights,

so I got mad at something like that.

But this isn't a place to fight.

This is a field to play soccer on.

I'm really sorry.

I just wanted to say that. See you.

Wait!

I won't lose at the championship.

Yeah.

Same here.

We've lost.

Yes.

There's something I have to apologize to you all for.

Something I said to you all.

I said that if you took away soccer from you all,

there'd be nothing left.

That's how we've been playing up until now!

But I don't believe that at all!

Playing up until the last second, and never giving up.

You guys are amazing.

You guys can become even stronger.

This isn't just about soccer.

No matter what you do, you'll try hard.

I'm so proud of you all!

Coach...

Thank you very much.

Coach Iwaki.

You look terrible.

In only 70 minutes of a district qualifying match, you're all worn out.

Araki-kun can barely walk.

You don't look like a team that could possibly have won.

It was 2-0 in the first half,

and we only managed to tie 5 minutes before the end of the game.

The comeback goal was in the last moments.

We won by sheer luck.

However, that's what gives meaning to this fight.

Don't forget it.

Your immediate goal is inter-high,

to win the championship title,

but soccer doesn't end there.

The real goal is beyond.

Tough matches like this one should fuel you.

Yes!

Thank you very much!

Let's go back to Enoshima High.

When we get back we'll cool down, stretch, and reflect.

Then, we'll get food and drinks from the convenience store,

so we can celebrate winning the tournament.

It's on me.

What?

What, you don't want me to?

No, no, no.

Kakeru!

Hibino.

We're next.

I definitely won't lose to you.
