Hey, everyone!

When watching Inazuma Eleven, make sure the room is well-lit and don't sit too close to the screen.

It's been awhile, but could we meet up somewhere, Aki?

Okay!

I'm sure Endou-kun and the others will be glad to see you too.

No, Aki.

I want you to come alone.

Tomorrow afternoon at 1.

I'll meet you at the park in America's area.

Ichinose's Final Kickoff!!

What do you mean, Ichinose-kun?

The Day Before, at 6 PM

The Football Frontier International Digest!

It's starting.

We bring you the results of yesterday's match between England's national team, Knights of Queen, and America's national team, Unicorn.

Digest

It's Domon!

Digest

With the addition of Domon on their team, Unicorn's defense has gotten even stronger.

Indeed.

Domon-san is amazing!

He's leveled up too.

Ichinose!

Digest

Digest

Their playmaker Ichinose becomes the center of attack, shattering England's defense.

The captain Mark and forward Dylan also show skillfulness in their plays, giving Unicorn a sweeping victory.

Ichinose in particular, who had made a lot of excellent plays during the North American prelims,

is still in top shape even in this world tournament.

As a former teammate, I'm happy for them...

But as our next opponent, I'm not...

It's a complicated emotion.

I wonder what this feeling is.

What's wrong?

It's like something's different from before...

Something about Ichinose's plays has changed.

I thought so too.

Maybe it's because he's leveled up.

Leveled up...

Yeah, that must be it.

Digest

We promised each other...

...that we'd fight on the world's stage next.

That day is finally here!

Okay!

Let's practice some more before dinner!

Yeah!

Wait for us!

Captain!

Everyone's really fired up.

Now, let's watch the plays of this match's MVP Ichinose once more.

Digest

I've never seen Ichinose-kun with eyes like that before.

Aki.

Ichinose-kun!

It's been a long time.

He hasn't spoken another word since...

Ichinose-kun...

Aki.

The truth is...

I'm joining a pro league youth soccer team in America after this tournament.

So that's what this is about!

I was afraid that something was wrong since you called me out of the blue.

A pro youth team... wow...

That's great, Ichinose-kun.

Will you...

...come with me to America, Aki?

With you...

What do you mean...?

Sorry, that was an ambiguous way to put it.

I meant that I wanted to invite you to come see my first match as a professional.

Oh, so that was it.

Yeah, of course I'll be there.

It's a promise.

I'll be looking forward to it.

I'm planning to bring my victory at this world tournament as a present to the pro team.

I won't lose our next match.

Endou-kun and the others won't lose either.

I want to make it a good game.

So that it can be remembered.

Tell everyone I said hi for me.

O-Okay...

I'm glad we got to meet, Aki.

Me too.

He told me nothing but good news...

So why am I feeling this way?

Hello, this is Ichinose.

Ichinose-kun?

I'm not able to pick up right now.

Please leave a message so I can get back to you.

Ichinose-kun...

Training is hard as ever...

Here, Mamoru-kun.

Thanks, Fuyuppe.

Everyone's taken a step up with practice today.

Yeah, because we get to fight against Ichinose and Domon next.

I want to face them soon!

Here.

Here.

Those two can stir up this much excitement in everyone...

I wonder what sort of people they are.

They're our friends.

No matter how much the team changes...

Both Ichinose and Domon are important friends of ours.

All right, let's practice for another round!

We can't lose to Ichinose and his team!

Yeah!

Kazemaru-kun.

I'm thinking of a new hissatsu technique right now...

But it's going to need speed.

Let's try it.

I'm out training with this!

Someoka!

If Ichinose saw this and knew how stoked we were, do you think he'd be surprised, Aki?

Huh?

Where's Aki?

Aki-san said she'd be going out to buy more bandage tapes.

But we still have plenty in here.

You're right.

Aki?

Domon-kun!

What are you doing here?

It's Ichinose, isn't it.

Yeah...

I met him yesterday and got a little worried.

He won't even pick up his phone.

Sorry, but he isn't here right now.

He's out with some teammates.

Oh...

If you want, I can give him a message.

Ichinose-kun's been acting weird lately.

I'm worried about him.

I think he's hiding something important from me.

Domon-kun, has he told you anything?

W-Well...

He didn't seem weird at all to me.

Maybe it's your imagination.

You know something.

You never look people in the eye when you're lying.

Not so!

At any rate, Ichinose is the same as always.

Bye.

Domon-kun...

I'm sorry, Aki.

Kazuya, you're still at it?

Yeah!

You're dedicated to training.

But don't go overboard.

We don't want you getting injured.

I know.

He's gotten even more psyched up ever since the world tournament began.

We've gotta get in the motion too.

Yeah.

What?!

Ichinose, I thought you were completely better now.

I thought so too.

But apparently the damage I had from that accident hasn't fully healed.

Do you need surgery?

Yeah.

But if it doesn't work this time, I won't be able to play soccer again.

The more you put it off, the greater the chances that it may even threaten your life.

You should take the surgery as quickly as possible.

I won't be able to play soccer anymore.

The soccer I love is going to be taken from me again.

Why is it always me?

Inazuma Eleven.

Ichinose!

Guys!

Ichinose isn't here!

Chill out, Domon.

Maybe he went for a morning jog.

Right, right.

I made up my mind not to tell her, so why am I here?

Am I going to lose soccer?

Hey, Endou!

Tsunami, out here to train?

Yup.

You too, huh?

Yeah.

I want to be at my best when I fight against Ichinose and his team!

I'll do anything I can for that!

That way, I can have the best game with them!

Hey!

Where's Ichinose?

I haven't seen him yet.

He'll be back by the time practice starts.

No.

It's possible that Ichinose will never...

Hey, Kazuya!

I knew you'd be here.

Ichinose.

Dylan!

Kazuya!

What I'm really scared about isn't losing soccer.

It's losing the chance to play soccer with my best rival.

Endou, I want to answer to your enthusiasm.

I don't care if it'll be my last game.

I'll throw everything I have at you in the next match.

Until the whistle signaling that time's up is blown.

I see.

So you've decided...

...to keep on flying until the very last moment.

Peacock Stadium

The seats are packed here at Peacock Stadium!

The match between Japan's national team, Inazuma Japan, and America's national team, Unicorn,

with President Cain watching among the crowd,

is about to begin!

No, Aki.

I want you to come alone.

I'm not able to pick up right now.

I have to ask Ichinose-kun.

I feel like I have to know what's going on with him right now.

Ichinose, I understand that you've decided.

If this is what you choose, then I'll help you to the end.

Thanks, Domon.

But promise me one thing.

If, by some chance, you're not able to play anymore during the match...

When that happens, I'll go off the field.

What are they talking about?

I care about your life more than anything.

Honestly, I want to keep you from playing this match and make you go take that surgery right now.

Even while you're standing here, your chances are dropping-

Aki!

Ichinose-kun!

What's this about surgery?

You said you were joining a pro youth team after you won this tournament!

He lied.

It's true that he was invited to a pro league youth team.

But he won't be able to join them.

What do you mean?

The effects of the accident he had awhile back haven't gone...

...meaning that Ichinose has to take surgery again.

What's more, there's a 50-50 chance that the operation will succeed.

Even if it does succeed, the possibility that he can continue playing soccer is slim.

No way...

Why didn't you tell me?

This might be the last match he'll ever play.

Both teams will now be entering the grounds, folks!

Ichinose-kun!

Aki... I want you to keep this a secret from Endou.

I want to play a serious game with Endou.

This issue isn't something that he can carry by himself.

That's why he went to see you.

But he couldn't say it in the end.

That's the sort of guy Ichinose is.

Yeah...

That idiot!

Aki! Where did you go?

Oh... just somewhere...

Even while you're standing here, your chances are dropping.

The effects of the accident he had awhile back haven't gone...

Even if it does succeed, the possibility that he can continue playing soccer is slim.

I want to play a serious game with Endou.

Endou-kun?!

Is something wrong?

You seem to have something on your mind.

No, that's not true.

Endou!

You're losing warm-up time!

Okay!

Stay focused!

We finally get to fight each other, Ichinose.

I'll show you at my most serious.

The match begins with Unicorn's kickoff!

Show them, Kazuya!

I'll stop you!

He's too fast!

There's Ichinose's masterful dribbling!

None in Inazuma Japan can stop him!

You're not getting through!

Ichinose has gotten past Fubuki!

The only one left standing is goalkeeper Endou!

Here I go, Endou!

Bring it!

This is my hissatsu technique!

Pegasus Shot!

Ijigen The Hand!

It's got a lot of power!

What?

It's in!

Ichinose's shoot gives America's Unicorn team the first point!

He's leveled up even more than when we saw him on TV!

We can't stop that...

That was awesome, Ichinose!

The match has only started.

Let's show them how much we've leveled up, too!

Yeah!

He can lift up his team's spirits with only a few words.

You really are an amazing guy, Endou.

That's why I wanted to fight with you.
