Captain Tsubasa (1983) s01e04 Episode Script

The Football is My Best Friend

Go! What are you doing!? None of you can mark Tsubasa!? Really All right! Shoot from there, Tsubasa! Go! Wait a second, Tsubasa! Eh? What's the matter? Coach, look over there.
Do you see their condition? Everyone This is hopeless Well, listen to me everyone! In order to be able to play soccer well, and before learning the various techniques and skills You have to treat the ball like your girlfriend.
"Like our girlfriend"? Yes.
Oh right, you guys are a bit young for that.
Well then, become a friend with the ball.
Be friends with the ball? How are we supposed to do that? It's simple.
You just have to bring it with you everywhere.
Be it going to school, or eating.
Even to the toilet? Fool! Wherever you go, always take the ball with you.
But, never use your hands.
No way So, we'll have to dribble wherever we go? Exactly.
If the ball hates anything, it's being picked up by hands.
Make the ball our friend? Okay! Goodbye, everyone! See you tomorrow! Hey, Tsubasa, wait for me! Ok, me too! Understand!? Don't use your hands! Yes! Be friends with the ball, eh I'm starving.
I have to get home quickly.
H-Hey, wait for me! Your ball is rolling away! Excuse me! It'll be dangerous if we don't use our hands here.
I don't think we would be scolded by the coach under this situation.
Look over there! Yeah! I managed to climb the stairs with the ball! Incredible! Well, see you tomorrow! Bye Bye! You don't have to keep the ball next to you when you are eating, Tsubasa.
But You are saying that ball is your friend? That sounds a bit simple minded It's probably hard for your mother.
She has to take care of two crazy soccer fans, right, Tsubasa? That's right.
Tsubasa, do you like soccer? Isn't it obvious!? Okay, so starting from tomorrow, we'll do a special training every morning.
I'll teach you soccer, the Brazilian way! Yes! All right, Tsubasa.
A special soccer training is a good thing, but Roberto could also teach you English.
Next year, you'll go to middle school.
Isn't that a good idea? What do you think of it, Tsubasa? Um I'll think about it.
Well, I have to get up early tomorrow! Him Sorry, I forgot you.
Mom, Roberto, good night! Roberto, hurry up! I'm getting too old for this I'm not really in good condition in the morning Okay, let's go! [ Sign : Municipal school of Nankatsu .]
Be careful, both of you.
Aoki? Here! Ishizaki? Ishizaki isn't here? This is that demonic coach's fault Telling us to dribble the ball even on our way to school Tsubasa is here Oozora Tsubasa? H-Here! He became popular with girls, and compared to him, I Ishizaki.
Ishizaki.
What are you doing here? Tsubasa is the only one of the team who got here on time? We'll use this as a reference.
Ishizaki! Their training match is about to begin.
This time, we have to carefully examine Shuutetsu's playing.
That's great! To play on a such soccer field! I'm really envious! Tsubasa! This isn't the time to be so relaxed.
We'll have to play against them soon.
But, thinking about it, Tsubasa could really have played soccer on this field.
Tsubasa would have become a regular of Shuutetsu There's no doubt about it.
But now that he became a Nankatsu student, he won't be able to play on it.
Don't say that! I really have no regrets about it.
To be a member of Nankatsu and play soccer with you is really great.
That's the truth.
When others say it, it sounds fake, but when you say it, it makes me happy.
Thank you, Tsubasa! But, I'm the captain, okay!? Guys, look! That's not Shuutetsu's goalkeeper! You're just noticing it now? Yes.
Wakabayashi won't play today.
You're Urabe of Nishigaoka.
But doesn't matter if Wakabayashi is here or not, it's all the same.
They're already leading 3-0 against their opponent, Mizukoshi.
It'll be an easy win for Shuutetsu.
Damn Shuutetsu Hey! What are you doing, Mizukoshi!? You haven't done anything yet! Ah, Mizukoshi get the ball back! Okay, now shoot from there! Great! Nice cut.
Tsubasa, remember him well.
This is who protects the goal with Wakabayashi the sweeper Takasugi Shingo.
The game maker, Izawa Mamoru.
This is the control tower of the midfield.
The swift winger, Taki Hajime.
Shuutetsu's assist king! And the center forward, Kisugi Teppei! Shuutetsu hasn't weakened since last year And Wakabayashi wasn't even playing It'll be impossible to defeat them Great! Shuutetsu's team is really amazing! Don't say that It makes me lose more and more confidence You're wrong, Ishizaki.
The stronger the opponent is, the more you want to beat him.
Shuutetsu's Team.
This is really the best opponent for us! Well, you know what I mean We'll do it, Tsubasa! Right, guys!? Yes! By the way, do you know why Wakabayashi didn't play? Wakabayashi doesn't even go to school anymore.
He's training by himself, very hard everyday.
What!? Even for Wakabayashi, the goal you scored against him was a big shock for him.
He's really furious.
This time, he won't let Oozora Tsubasa score a goal.
Wakabayashi Genzou Are we really high school players? And him, an elementary school student? Fine, Genzou.
Your defense has become near perfect.
It'll be enough for today.
You're joking, right coach? What's the point to have this material to play during night? We still have a lot of time! No way Okay, continue! Genzou, you're different from before.
Is it because of this kid? I finally found someone who I can use all of my strength against.
I'm looking forward to the school's tournament, Oozora Tsubasa.
It was very good, Tsubasa.
Roberto, what is the next technique? Well, this time, we'll train for curved shots.
Tsubasa! Ishizaki! That's not fair, coach, to only train Tsubasa! We're Nankatsu's players too! And we really want to win! We'll also come in the morning, coach! Train us too! Guys Please! Coach! Please! Please! Please! Okay, everyone to their position! I'll train you each specifically for your position.
So, what are you waiting for!? Yes! Only two weeks before the school's tournament.
Tarou, are you ready to go? Dad! Did you finish your painting? Yes.
Don't forget to go say "goodbye" to your friends.
Yes.
Well, everyone Hey, you're really leaving? It's only been one month since you arrived at our school.
Can't you stay, at least, until the soccer tournament? If you are with us, we'll win for sure! I'm sorry, it depends on my father's work.
That must be pretty hard for you.
But, isn't it hard to make friends when you're changing schools so often? I always have a friend with me, here.
And also, maybe we'll see each other again during the national soccer tournament.
It's impossible for us Why not, you never know! Goodbye, everyone! Take care of you! You too, Tarou! See you! What does Shizuoka look like? This is a superb place where the sea and mountains meet.
This time, we're not in a hurry, so we could take the time to go see Mount Fuji.
Shizuoka! I see, you're thinking about soccer when you're talking about Shizuoka, you! Wow! The sea! Hello! Did you see, Tsubasa? We showed up on time! This is the result of the training! And also thanks to the coach! Well, then let's go! Yes! H-Hey! BUT I'M THE CAPTAIN! Hello everyone! What's happening to the soccer team this year? They look different.
Do they really intend to win against Shuutetsu during this year's match? Habitually, they give up long before the match occurs.
The rumors say that they start to train at dawn, and they continue during the evening until nightfall.
But, their opponent is Shuutetsu's team, the national champion.
There's really no chance that our team could win against them.
The ones who are mocking the soccer team will have to deal with me! You are Anego, the cheerleader Don't think I won't fight because I am a girl! And besides that, Tsubasa was too cool again today! Mr.
Director, all the teams are training very hard for tomorrow's contest against Shuutetsu.
Yes.
Even the soccer team, who never win, seems to be as determined as the others, this time.
Even so, this year, it really seems like a completely new team.
I wonder what happened.
Go! Go! Soccer club! Anego, why are we only cheering for the soccer club.
Can't we go to the other grounds too? Shut up! How dare you contradict the cheerleader!? Go! Go! Soccer club! Go! Go! Soccer club! - What is going on with them? Until now, they never came to cheer us on You don't think that's fine, Ishizaki? This is good for training, let's go back to it! Yes! Go! Go! Tsubasa! Oh, I wasn't excepting so much! (Shuutetsu VS Nankatsu - 26th school tournament) The captain didn't come to school today either.
I wonder if he'll be here for tomorrow's match.
So what? Our opponent is Nankatsu's team that we defeated 30-0 last time.
We just have to mark Tsubasa, the one who managed to score a goal on the captain.
That way, even without the captain, it'll be an easy win.
Yeah, the others are really bad.
Eh? Me as goalkeeper? Yes, Tsubasa.
This will be the last training point before the schools tournament.
What does that mean, coach? Don't tell me you plan to make Tsubasa play as goalkeeper during the tournament? I understand! If Tsubasa is the goalkeeper, Shuutetsu won't be able to score.
But, is there someone else in our team, besides Tsubasa, who is able to score? That's the point! If we get a draw against Shuutetsu, that will be not bad at all for our team! He's good, this guy! Let's go, Tsubasa! What's the matter, Tsubasa!? Okay Listen, Tsubasa! Try to anticipate where the ball is going even if you don't manage to stop it! What are you doing, Tsubasa!? Next one! Incredible! Those are the shots of a pro? But, why did he make me the goalkeeper Who does he think he is, this bearded guy!? He gets a little compliment, and now he's full of himself, and makes Tsubasa see hell! Wait for me, Tsubasa! I'm coming to save you! You shouldn't, Anego! I'm talking to you, Anego! Hey, watch your hands! Follow the ball, even if you can't catch it! The path of the ball I see Would this training be for Are you ready!? Here I go, Tsubasa! Okay, today's training is over.
Tomorrow is the day! Yes, tomorrow! The match against Shuutetsu! You have put forth a lot of effort so far.
Keeping up with my training isn't an easy thing.
This is also thanks to you, coach! And also, we managed to come this far thanks to you, Tsubasa! Everyone, let's do our best tomorrow! We've trained ourselves very hard for tomorrow! Yes! It seems they're not aiming for a draw.
In that case could it be possible that! We'll also have to do our best tomorrow to cheer them! Let's practice for the match! Go! Again! Go! Tsubasa, wait for me! And here it is Tsubasa, I think you understand now, why I made you play goalkeeper.
Yes.
Now that I played goalkeeper, I understand which shots are hard to block.
And also, that the goalkeeper reacts easily to some shots compared to others.
And, even for the kicker, it's important to follow the goalkeeper's movements and to pay attention.
Yes.
You did everything you could.
The team also did its best at training.
Whether you win or lose, make sure not to regret this match, Tsubasa.
Yes, tomorrow we'll win for sure! Our long sailing is now over.
I'll be returning to Japan soon.
By the way, is our soccer kid doing well? Has he suited well to his new school? Tell him that I'll bring him back a lot of souvenirs.
And also Enough of it He's only talking of Tsubasa! I don't know about you, but this place seems fine.
Would you like to train here? Yes.
The name of the school is "Nankatsu elementary school", right? It would be really great if I could play soccer here.
We'll see to register you for school tomorrow, Tarou.
Hi! Hey! This kid seems to be the same age as you, Tarou? Yes.
Who is it? He's dribbling very well.
Let's hurry, Roberto! If we are late for dinner, Mom will scold us again! Yes, you're right! Tsubasa, tomorrow, show me a match where you'll use all your strength! Yes.
Yes! Tomorrow, we'll do it! In the next episode of Captain Tsubasa : Finally, the tournament! The day of the challenge with Wakabayashi! This match which was the last barrier between us, also became the match which will determine which of us is the strongest! The stands are completely filled, and the match started with a great ambiance! Roberto and I developped a strategy to use against Wakabayashi! Let's do our best!
