Hey, everyone!

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

You've gotten big, Mamoru.

Grandpa, I...

I've always wanted to meet you.

So have I.

Grandpa...

The Strongest Rival!

My life was being targeted due to Garshield's schemes,

but I decided to use that to my advantage and make it as if I'd died.

After coming to Cotarl, I gathered up evidence all around the world that would indict Garshield for his crimes.

But whatever information I got soon became worthless.

He was hushing things up and erasing all of the evidence.

It changed into a test of who could hold out the longest.

I was on fire.

I was desperate.

Despite my situation, the people of Cotarl accepted me.

They're a generous people, with sincere kindness towards others and trusting hearts.

Before I knew it, I grew to love Cotarl.

And then, my life there grew more and more fun every day.

I kept thinking 'one more year, just one more year,'

and before I knew it, I was 40 years older!

Grandpa...

I've been watching you ever since the preliminaries.

You've become a fine soccer player, Mamoru.

That's because you left me with so much.

The training notebook that you wrote...

It was packed page to page with hints on hissatsu techniques and words that resonated through my heart.

That got me really excited.

Also, whenever I put on this bandana soaked with sweat and mud,

I can feel your heated spirit being conveyed through it to me.

Each of the marks on your old gloves told me that hard work would never betray me.

As I played soccer, I always felt you pushing my back forward in spirit, Grandpa.

But I still have a lot to learn.

I'll keep getting more and more stronger.

Mamoru, do you like soccer?

I love it!

I'm really glad that I play soccer.

I see.

As long as you continue to feel that way, you'll keep improving to endless heights.

Then, dogagaga-gan!

Burn up! Let the fireworks fly!

Shine as brilliantly as the stars in the night sky!

Yeah!

I don't really get it, but okay!

Grandpa, I'll do my best.

Gan, shan, dwan!

What's that?

The hint to a hissatsu technique that you told me the other day, remember?

It's gan... shan... dwan!

Gan, shan, dwan!

Oh, that.

Those words just slipped out of my mouth.

They didn't mean anything.

Really?!

But thanks to that, I got the feel of a new technique.

I'll do my best to master it!

That's the way.

Act faithfully to what your heart tells you.

Have you finished?

Yeah.

Now, I wonder if he can beat me.

He can.

It's Endou-kun.

You have good eyes.

It won't be long until you become a soccer freak yourself.

That would only be natural.

You're the one who taught me, after all.

Natsumi, get down.

This is your stop.

Go back to Inazuma Japan.

Why?

You've become a brilliant team operator.

With the skills you've acquired, you should be more than enough assistance to Inazuma Japan.

Could it be...?

Did you take me in at the beginning so Inazuma Japan could become stronger?

I look forward to it.

It's the strongest team that I want to fight with.

The strongest that Inazuma Japan has to give.

Very well.

I'll return to Inazuma Japan and fight with every skill I possess against Coach Daisuke's Little Gigant.

Entertain me as best as you can.

Raimon Natsumi will be joining our team as of today.

Natsumi-san was with Little Gigant before now, wasn't she?

Are you sure you want someone on the team who switches sides easily?

Natsumi-san...

Everyone...

It's good to have you back, Natsumi.

Yes.

Good to have you.

We're looking forward to working with you!

Same here.

Thank goodness.

Come on, Natsumi-san, it's time to get ready for practice, practice!

We're working together again, Natsumi-san.

Yes. Let's do our best.

Well, this is Inazuma Japan.

Now, time to start practice!

Yeah!

I must support Inazuma Japan as the team operator.

A hissatsu technique better than Tiger Storm?

Yes.

I think we'll need it in order to score points and put a blot on Little Gigant's unblemished record.

Maou The Hand!

It's no good.

It just ends up being a shoot that we kick at the same time.

Yeah.

What should we do?

Gouenji-san, keep shooting some more!

Okay!

Don't you know?

If two people don't work, try three.

That's it!

We can do that, too!

Join us, Fudou!

Someone's not being honest about their feelings.

Yeah, you.

Kazemaru!

Okay!

It's mine!

Not happening!

Kazemaru-san!

Damn it!

Everyone's all fired up.

It's the final match, after all.

And the one who's most fired up of all...

Keep 'em coming!

One more!

Endou!

I knew this was impossible!

It can't be done at this short distance!

I'm not done yet!

Come on!

I like your enthusiasm, Endou.

Here I go!

With the captain like that, everyone's motivation rises naturally.

But it's ironic that he has to fight against the team that his grandfather is coaching, after so many years of separation.

No...

It's because it's his grandfather that he's excited.

That's Endou-kun.

You're right.

Ijigen The Hand was completely broken through in the semi-finals.

I have to complete that technique before the finals get here.

Besides, we promised each other...

Mamoru, you came to Liocott Island as captain of Inazuma Japan, while I came here as Little Gigant's coach.

Yeah.

I will fulfill my responsibilities as coach.

I will lead Little Gigant to victory.

The finals will be a man-to-man fight between you and me...

...betting on which of us will become the world's best.

I intend to play against you seriously too, and win.

But Little Gigant is a powerful team that has been trained under me.

In your current state, your team is no match for them.

In particular is my captain.

Rococo Ulpa, while the same goalkeeper as you, is incredible.

He is, without any doubt, the strongest in the world.

Strongest in the world...

I get to play against amazing people like that?

This is getting exciting!

I feel it too!

I get to play soccer against my grandson in the world tournament finals!

I'm looking forward to it.

Me too!

My body is screaming about how much it can't wait!

But soccer is a sports that decides a winner.

No matter who you're fighting against, you must fight while believing in your victory.

That shows courtesy to your fellow players, as well as your pride.

I will defeat you...

With my pride as a player.

No matter what kind of awesome soccer you play, Grandpa...

And no matter how good Rococo is as goalkeeper, I...

Inazuma Japan will win!

Inazuma Japan will be the champions!

Challenge...

To the world!

Inazuma...

Eleven!

I don't have any ideas...

How do we fight against Little Gigant?

Endou-kun...

Practice ended only minutes ago.

Honestly...

Natsumi?

Endou-kun!

Why?

What are you talking about?

Then, that sound...

Someone's doing tire practice.

I thought it was you...

Rococo!

Hey there, Endou Mamoru.

Why are you here?

I know all about you.

Your tire training, your playstyle, your hissatsu techniques.

I've heard it all from Daisuke.

That's why I'm here.

So you can learn about what sort of player I am.

Why?

If you were in my place, you'd do the same.

Okay then, show me.

This is Rococo?

No, that can't be all there is to him.

Not from the way Grandpa talked about him.

Rococo... even today, you're still...

After seeing your match against Team Garshield, I understood how amazing you are.

You were able to put Daisuke's words into practice without needing any further explanation.

But Grandpa told me that there was no deep meaning to them.

They just slipped out of his mouth.

I know.

Daisuke does that a lot in front of us too.

I see...

But seeing that excited me.

I never dreamed that Daisuke's grandson could be such an amazing player.

My body trembled with happiness at being able to play against you.

I have no doubt that you'll master that technique.

But I won't lose!

I'll make plays that are even better than yours!

Just how I like it!

Was it Grandpa who taught you soccer?

Yes.

It all began on that day I met Daisuke... when I was eight years old.

I was the worst player on the team.

I can't do this anymore.

A failure is nothing but a failure.

So, you know who you are.

You understand that you're more hopeless than anyone.

That is how you will one day get stronger.

Me... get stronger?

The strongest players I've known have all known themselves...

About what they can't do.

About what was impossible for them.

It's like looking up at the top of a steep mountain that they can never conquer.

But Rococo...

A small handful of them are able to make it to the top.

Because they knew what it was they couldn't do,

they added one by one on the things that they could do, building them up,

until finally they reached the top that had once been so high and far from their grasp.

Those are the real players!

Real players...

How about it, Rococo?

Do you want to try reaching for it with me?

To the very top!

Okay!

I'll give it a try!

I'll reach for the top with Daisuke!

I've always wanted to ask...

Why did you choose me, Daisuke?

There were dozens of other people who had more talent than I did.

It's your eyes.

Eyes?

Your eyes have a good look about them.

They tell me that you, more than anyone else, love soccer the most.

In other words, you have the eyes of a soccer freak.

I see.

A soccer freak, huh?

Soccer freak...

Just like me.

Mamoru.

While you reached here by admiring Daisuke's soccer and aspiring to it,

I've also made it this far under Daisuke's direct guidance.

That's right.

We're the same.

He's able to stop it even better than before.

I'm going to the top with Daisuke!

He could see through its rotation!

He was able to stop this?!

I'll do it.

This is a challenge.

Concentrate and watch its movements carefully.

Natsumi!

God...

God...

Hand!

Are you okay, Natsumi?

Not hurt?

I'm fine.

Just now...

I first started with God Hand too.

Just like you.

This is Rococo Ulpa...

The goalkeeper that Grandpa chose.

Getting a sense of your power right beside me has got me even more excited for the game.

Let's meet at the finals, Mamoru.

His was faster.

What do you mean?

Even though I put out God Hand much earlier than Rococo did,

our timing at stopping the tire was the same.

Impossible...

He was faster than Endou-kun in that situation?

Rococo Ulpa...

Fidio! And everyone in Orpheus!

As we aim for the championship, our last battle begins!

This is super-dimensional soccer!

Fidio's Intense Friendship Training!

The Inazuma Eleven's proverb today is...

Only those who continue working hard can become that small handful of real players!

That's all!
