Tsubasa, we're leaving! Italy has just won the World Cup! When will Japan take part in the World Cup?! One day, I'll make that come true! Tsubasa It's time to leave! Well, here we go.
Really, Tsubasa Let's go! Tsubasa Tsubasa! Tsubasa! Yayoi! Tsubasa, don't forget me! I will never forget you, Tsubasa I'm sure one day we'll meet each other again.
Look, Mount Fuji! That's true! We already arrived in Shizuoka.
We will soon be in Nankatsu.
Nankatsu You're always reading this magazine? But, the players of the Shuutetsu team from Nankatsu city won the last national tournament! And I'll be one of them soon! We're coming, Nankatsu! Shuutetsu has a really great goalkeeper! We'll show him our strength! Yeah, my baby! We're going there, we're going there! Stop that, let me off! Let me off! This city, which has behind it the sacred mountain, Mount Fuji, and has a bay facing the Pacific Ocean, is in a quiet place.
But, Shuutetsu's team provokes a frightening fervor in the young soccer players.
This is the place that draws the attention of all the young soccer players of the country.
We've arrived, here's Nankatsu! Mama, I'm going! Hey Tsubasa, you could help us a bit! You can continue, please.
But it was unavoidable.
After all, we came here to let Tsubasa play to soccer.
My dear Where are you right now? I hope you'd let us know sometime.
Oozora Captain, our next stopover will finally be Japan, right? I wonder if my little soccer champion is doing well.
They should already have moved to Nankatsu.
Wait a second! You're going to play ball with your friends again?! I want you to finish first! I don't have time to do it right now.
Stay here, Ryou! Oh, look out! Help me! Are you all right?! Hey, it's not deep at all You're right I was afraid of sinking It's impossible here! Stop mocking me! Masaru, what happened? I fell into the river because of this boy's soccer ball! Because of a soccer ball? Who left this ball in the middle of the road?! Sorry, it's me! Don't give him back his ball! It's because of it that I fell into the river! Well Great! Sorry just now, see ya! Hey, wait! I've never seen you around here.
Where do you come from? My name is Oozora Tsubasa.
I just arrived today.
Tsubasa? So, you're a new student?! Which class are you?! Sixth year.
You seem to be good at soccer! I came here to play soccer! Cool, so you'll be in our school! It'll be great! So, you're going to Shuutetsu's school too? Shuutetsu?! W What's wrong ? We're from Nankatsu's public school! Shuutetsu's school is our rival! It's a pity that you will become one of them! Well, let's go! Let's hurry to the soccer ground! So, that's him, Oozora Tsubasa? Eh? What's the matter? Oh N Nothing.
That guy seemed to be really good at soccer though.
Ah, you thought about it too? Everybody, don't forget he's going to Shuutetsu.
It's better to forget him.
"Nankatsu's Junior Soccer Ground".
That's normal for a city where soccer is so popular! Hey, what are you looking at? Nankatsu and Shuutetsu are quarrelling among themselves again for the soccer ground.
Shuutetsu? Stop that! Shuutetsu's team has its own ground, right?! So, use it! Yeah, he's right! Hey, Wakabayashi.
Nankatsu's school ground is not big enough for all of the sport teams so they can't train on it! So, you can leave them this one, right? They don't need to train.
They are bad at soccer.
What?! You forgot the promise you made before the match?! We defeated your Nankatsu's team 10 to 0! As promised, Shuutetsu won the use of this ground.
Hey, what?! We won't let you get away with that! Yeah! Shuutetsu has its own soccer ground! We got some new players after our victory in the national tournament.
The official field is used by the A-Team.
So this one will be for our B-Team.
Hey, Wakabayashi! Being good at soccer doesn't allow you to make your own rules! Wakabayashi That's him, Wakabayashi? Ishizaki, what's the meaning of bringing some schoolboys?! Erm.
Well You don't scare me.
Well, what do you think of facing each other, schoolboys? Facing each other ? Against them? How does he want to face them? The captain of each team will make a shot, one after the other! Interesting! Are you ready?! I am able to catch any ball shot from outside of the penalty area! If you want the field, you just have to score a goal on me! You're really too arrogant! Hey, give me the ball! Even if you are a genius goalkeeper, you won't have any possibility of winning this challenge! We'll see once it's finished.
That's enough! I'll settle this immediately.
A rugby ball is different from a soccer ball.
No one can predict in which direction it'll bounce! Yeah, that's right! Here we go! He stopped it Great! That's one down.
Okay! I'm next! A soccer goal is twice as large as a handball goal! If I don't manage to score I'll be the shame of our Handball team! What?! No way! Incredible Wakabayashi is really an exceptional goalkeeper.
I'll be the last! Whatever your level is, it's useless to try to catch it! Go ahead.
Can he really catch a baseball?! Damn Bring it on, come! Okay! What do you think of that?! W What? He stopped it This guy is a monster! Well, the case is closed.
Now, let's go and train seriously! Yes! Se-Senpais! Sorry Ishizaki, but we're giving up! We can't even count on our senpais What are you saying?! You too, you lost against them! Captain Where will we train? No idea There won't be any training today.
If it keeps going like that, we'll lose for sure during the schools tournament.
I've never seen such a strong goalkeeper! I want to challenge Wakabayashi too! Eh? Hey! Wait a second! Where did Wakabayashi, the goalkeeper, go? He should have gone back to his house.
Then, can you tell me where he lives? Hey, what do you want Wakabayashi for? I want to challenge him at soccer! What?! Challenge him?! You're crazy?! Didn't you see how strong he was? That's why I want to challenge him! Okay, I'll show you.
So, you just arrived here, right? That's why you are not aware of anything.
Look, Wakabayashi lives in this big mansion! His family is one of the oldest of the city! But I don't think such little guy like you will win against him.
During the last national tournament, no one managed to score a goal on him.
I know.
Eh, what are you doing? What is it? T-That's! Don't tell me You think the ball will reach Wakabayashi's house from here?! Here we go! What?! Go! Incredible No way! What's happening, Genzou? Where did this ball come from? It came from the Shinto shrine over there! Stop spouting nonsense.
You know how far it is from there? T-That's a challenge?! He reached Wakabayashi's house! A Amazing! What an incredible boy You made a mistake Genzou.
It couldn't have come from there.
But There's a challenge for me written on the ball.
And the handwriting looks like a boy of my age Stupid, how could an elementary boy shoot that far? I accept your challenge, Oozora Tsubasa! Whoever he is, I want to make sure with my own eyes! You're really great! Your shot was really incredible! How could you shoot so far? That's weird, there should be a trick somewhere, right?! You may be able to defeat Wakabayashi! A toast for the little soccer champion! Well, let's go to the soccer field.
Yes.
Really Tsubasa Where could you be? I hope he didn't get lost since this city is unknown to him.
You just arrived here today, right? Yes.
So, you will also go to Nankatsu's school? Well There are two elementary schools in this city, but only Nankatsu is a public school, Shuutetsu is a private one.
Maybe I shouldn't tell you but Nankatsu and Shuutetsu are rivals! Nankatsu and Shuutetsu have been perpetually fighting among themselves! Today, the fighting was about the retrieval of the soccer field.
They have a great soccer field near here.
But us, we have to share the field with all the other sports.
You'll represent Nankatsu! I'm not really concerned about being a representative of Nankatsu or whatnot I I just want to challenge Wakabayashi If you defeat Wakabayashi, we'll be able to take back the field from Shuutetsu! Ishizaki, this boy is a new student of Shuutetsu.
Eh? Really?! If you're planning to go to Shuutetsu, then why have you challenged Wakabayashi?! This boy challenged Wakabayashi?! Yes! Oozora Tsubasa Who could he be? He was able to shoot from that Shinto shrine Would the challenge be thrown by a student of Nankatsu? How could this team have such a good player? So, Genzou You said that Oozora Tsubasa is an elementary school student? If that was the case, it would be impossible for him to send the ball so far with a simple shot.
Ah! Here's Wakabayashi! That would be him? Wakabayashi! Here's the one who sent you the challenge, Oozora Tsubasa! Eh?! What?! Such a small boy That's impossible You're mocking me?! This runt couldn't shoot so far! But, I saw it just like I'm seeing you right now! Okay, we'll check if you're really the one who shot! Look out, step aside! He managed to block my shot You are Oozora Tsubasa Oozora Tsubasa Oozora Tsubasa It's this boy, no doubt about it.
Here's the encounter of the two genius soccer players! In the next episode of Captain Tsubasa: I'm Oozora Tsubasa! I met an amazing boy! His name is Wakabayashi Genzou! He's Shuutetsu's genius goalkeeper! I have to challenge Wakabayashi no matter what But Shuutetsu's fiery defense won't break so easily! Will I be able to score a goal on Wakabayashi?
