You're the famous center-forward of the Brazilian national team Roberto Hongo! Here, Tsubasa.
This is a letter for you that your father gave to Roberto.
Eh? A letter from dad?! Oozora Tsubasa, who came to Nankatsu to play soccer, suddenly has Roberto Hongo appear before him.
The ace striker of the Brazilian national team will teach him soccer.
For Tsubasa, this story was really like a dream.
Great! So, I'll live in the same house with a player from the Brazilian national team! Y-You're! Tsubasa! Tell your captain, Wakabayashi, that I'll face him during the tournament with Nankatsu's team! No way! Damn I heard you loud and clear! I'm looking forward to the schools tournament! Until then, try training yourself as much as you can! Tsubasa! Glad to have you on the team.
The pleasure is mine.
Can I join too? What do you think about having a coach? A drunk like you does not have the skills required to be a coach! Then let me prove it to you.
What will he do?! That's an overhead kick! What?! Towards tomorrow's kick-off! Go! Really Mom, what are you doing on the floor with my bed-cover on your head? Well, you hit it like a soccer ball.
Ah? Really? It seems you were dreaming of soccer.
P-Probably.

I hope the results turn out well Go ahead and eat up.
Thanks.
So, you start at your new school today? Yeah, I'm going to Nankatsu! Did you choose Nankatsu because all of the rich kids go to Shuutetsu? This is also for soccer, right, Roberto? Yes.
Or I wonder if it's because Shuutetsu is a harder school? Eh? You're wrong, I don't- To prove the contrary, you'll have to study very hard! Eh? Even you, Roberto I'm going! Tsubasa! Let's walk part of the way together.
Where are you going, Roberto? While waiting for Tsubasa and his friends to start training, I'll go to the beach for a little while.
To the beach? Yeah, for a little while Roberto, if we don't hurry, I'll be late! Well, see you later.
Later! Be careful.
Practice starts after school! I'll wait for you on the field with Ishizaki and the others! Got it! See you later! Later! Tsubasa! What? I'll give you a great gift at practice! A gift? Don't fall behind! Increase your pace! Oozora Tsubasa I won't lose to you.
I'm training myself not to lose to anyone.
Accelerate again! This isn't enough! You have to reach a top level speed! Well, from today on, I am a student of Nankatsu school! Everyone, meet our new arrival, Oozora Tsubasa! Hurrah for Oozora Tsubasa! Go! Go! TSU-BA-SA! Go, go, Tsubasa! Go, go, Tsubasa! Go TSU-BA-SA! Ah, Tsubasa! Hello! I'm glad to see you again.
You really came! Though you said that you would come here, we were worried that you would end up at Shuutetsu anyway.
We were all worried! But, it's okay now! Follow me, I'll show you around! One second! I'm the one who will show him around! Eh? W-What? What does that mean? "What does that mean?" Well, I'm gladly accepting it! So, let's go! Hey, look at that boy! He's rather cute! Make a bit less noise.
Good morning! Good morning! What are you looking for, Ishizaki? Ah, I see, you're already aware of it.
Well, let's make the presentation.
From today on, you'll have one more little comrade in your class.
Come on in! Introduce yourself.
I'm Oozora Tsubasa.
Your father is the captain of a ship, is that right? Yes! He travels around the whole world! Wow, great! Quiet, everyone! Welcome to our 6th grade class.
Be quiet! Let's see, your place will be Teacher, here! He can sit next to me! Well, go sit there.
Yes.
Tsubasa! Send the ball here! Ok.
Nice shot! Great! Here.
Oozora Tsubasa? Well, it seems like we have a star in our class.
This is the uniform of the Brazilian national team? The ace striker, Roberto Hongo This isn't Tsubasa, but that looks really nice.
Eh? University hospital center, service of ophthalmology.
Could it be "Sao Paulo FC, Coach Johan" Like I thought, it's hopeless.
I have used all possible means, and I even came to Japan with the invitation from Captain Oozora From what we see in the tests, you can't keep playing.
If you pick up a bad enough knock in a match, you could lose your eye-sight.
Please agree to announce my retirement yourself.
I plan to stay in Japan a little longer.
I don't have any fastener, so maybe I'll stay there.
Don't worry about me.
I was already prepared for things to turn out like this when I left Brazil.
But, if I go back to Brazil This day, I won't be alone.
I found something great in my native country, Japan.
A wonderful realization.
At Nankatsu elementary school, the students from the 4th years class and up who are in a sports club, started training hard to prepare for the competition.
The schools tournament.
This is a sports event where each sports club of Nankatsu and Shuutetsu face each other.
Over the years, they've both picked up 12 wins, 12 loses, and 12 draws.
An absolute draw And this year, the whole city had their eyes on the competition, everyone was caught up in the madness.
Go! Come on, let's go, and let's give it all that we've got! Go! Go! NAN-KA-TSU! Go, go, Nankatsu! Oops.
T-Thanks The ball didn't go where I wanted.
So you still don't understand, and you always continue to train yourself? Oh come on, we told you to stop wasting your time, and to break up your team! Hey, you! Don't interrupt this precious training for the schools tournament! Is that a joke? A club of morons like you if you took part in the tournament, you'd be smashed to pieces! Look, we don't have time for this.
Look over there.
Incredible We have such a player in our soccer club? Who is this guy? Our ace, of course.
Your "ace?" Hey, you there! Anego, calm down a bit Tsubasa! Do you know who you are disobeying by gathering yourselves here? "Who?" Well, we just came here, like that You're going too far! I'll create a fan club for Tsubasa! Enough! You can't create a fan club for Tsubasa! Eh?! Why?! Because we already have a good team of supporters! And the leader is ME! And here we go again And about Tsubasa, from now on, I'm the one who deals with everything! Tsu-ba-sa O-Oops Anego, hold on! Okay everyone, now we'll practice our shooting! Try to aim inside the goal.
Okay! Here! Go! Now, heading.
The most important thing is to focus on the ball! You shouldn't be afraid! Let's go! Really, you could go a little easier Sorry.
But Roberto's training will be far harder than mine.
That's true, our coach is a professional player from the Brazilian national team I will never manage to survive the training I'm back! I'm going to practice! Tsubasa, wait! Really It's like he only comes here to leave Brazil? After all, he's admired it since a child Now that I think about it I wonder where Roberto is.
You're going to play with the ball again? And your work, how much did you finish? You didn't finish it yet, right? Well, in fact Oh, mom, do you know what a feint is? A feint? It's to anticipate the timing of the opponent, and then to pass him, like this! Wait! You'll see when you come back! Hi! Tsubasa has already made so many friends? I'm so happy.
In his old school, no one played soccer and Tsubasa was always alone.
Hey, you really can't get enough of soccer, can you? Play baseball, not soccer! That's a man's sport! What is interesting about ball games? Tsubasa, you don't want to play video games? You're the only one who plays soccer, here! Well, it's a good thing that he's entered Nankatsu! Now, I also need to make my place in this town.
What's happening?! You're Nishigaoka's soccer club? Yes! Like promised, here we are! I hope you didn't change your mind? Like promised? What are you talking about? Don't act dumb! You're the ones who asked us for a training match! A training match?! Yes! It was me! I'm the one who asked them about it.
I see! This is your gift? Yes.
What an amazing soccer team It's not surprising that they lost 30 to 0 against Shuutetsu! 30 to 0? Well The aim of our Nishigaoka team is to defeat Shuutetsu.
We have to finish, at least, with the same result.
Nicely said! Damn! Say what you want, you'll see! Go, go, go, go! What is this tackle?! That won't stop the dribbles of the great Urabe Hanji! Here! Hey, you! Tsubasa! Tsubasa! What are you doing, Tsubasa?! That's our side here! And now, I shoot! What?! It's in! A great long shot! N-No way! Great Tsubasa ! So cool! Listen everyone.
This guy! We just have to mark this guy! The others are not dangerous at all! Go! And here we go! Stop him! Don't give him any space! Tsubasa! It's for you, Ishizaki! Great! Yeah, it's in! M-Me I scored? Yes! Great! The schools tournament won't be like that.
Prepare yourself, Tsubasa! Shuutetsu's Wakabayashi.
Tsubasa.
I'll make you a first class player, and you'll fly towards the world! Now that all my hopes have been broken, this is my new dream.
In the next episode of Captain Tsubasa : Now that we have won the training match against Nishigaoka, everybody put some more effort! For Ishizaki and the others who are following Roberto's hard training, obviously, when he said that we had to stay with the ball at all times, they thought it was a bad joke, but And it seems like Wakabayashi from Shuutetsu is also following a secret training regimen I won't lose! Next time on Captain Tsubasa : The ball is our friend! Kick-off!
