Days (TV)

When I was a first-year, I was taken to the Nationals.

Both summer and winter tournaments.

It's our responsibility as third-years to get you guys to the Nationals this year.

This is the final match.

Win this one game, and we're off to the Nationals.

If you're not sure about something, just trust yourself.

Don't feel obligated to do anything for anyone else.

Do everything for your own personal gain.

I believe doing that will be good for the team.

That's my philosophy.

I take full responsibility. Do what you like.

Seiseki!

Fight!

Yeah!

And Kimishita dictates the tempo...

So who's he going to pass to?

That's what I'm feeling...

Euphoria!

I'm facing my toughest opponents yet!

He's taking it to them all by himself.

He struck it against my knee on purpose.

Seiseki's Number 9 left Saku High in the dust!

Oh, no...

It's so wonderful, hearing someone's heart break.

He's not just a sandwich short of a picnic— he's missing the whole basket!

Do your best, Kimishita-senpai!

Get back there already, nimrod.

We'll get the ball over to where your voice can reach us in no time.

All right!

All right.

Time for a counterattack.

A bicycle kick?!

Why is he so strong today?!

Don't forget, Tsukamoto...

Your hard work will never betray you!

You're on the right track.

Keep on following the course you've set yourself.

If I tie down Indou, the beating heart of Saku High's team,

the game will turn in Seiseki's favor!

I once had the nickname "The One-on-One Master"!

U-Unbelievable.

All aspects of his game are a cut above.

They're in on goal!

That one-two did the trick!

But I...

will never...

give up!

Kazama blocked it with his face?

My nose refuses to stop bleeding.

We're going to win.

That's all there is to it.

Those who score the goals are more important, stronger, and cooler.

That's what I used to believe.

But...

there are heroes who run for the sake of others, too.

My body won't move.

I've drained all my reserves.

I'm counting on you...

Tsukamoto!

Number 17 replaces him!

In Order to Connect These Gleaming Days to the Future

Good job, Ooshiba!

You did good!

You showed real Seiseki fighting spirit out there!

Kiichi...

Who's this Number 17?

There's 20 minutes left on the clock.

They're putting him in when they're tied?

He must be some player.

Calm down, Sayuri.

They put him in...

I've got to do my best.

Oh boy.

Tsuku-chan...

He messed up right from the get-go!

I forgot to tie my drawstring...

What's that?

Man, that's embarrassing.

Polka dots?

Wh-Why are you all laughing?!

Come on!

My sides hurt.

Tsu-ka-mo-to!

Well done.

Nice one, Tsukushi.

That entrance was so you.

Kazama-kun, it wasn't on purpose!

Please stop laughing.

This is bad for us.

Whenever he comes on, Seiseki's mood skyrockets for some reason.

Can someone please tie his drawstring for him?

Number 17, hurry it up!

You're so tiny, the shorts are real baggy.

I-I'm very sorry!

You're still a child, aren't you?

Huh?

Finally cracked a smile?

I-I'm so sorry!

His hands and feet are in sync.

Usui-senpai.

Hey!

Seiseki are sitting deep?

They've changed their tactics.

They must be at the end of their rope.

That means they're relying on counterattacks.

Which means there's a chance I'll get the ball!

Kaoru!

Gotcha!

As long as I'm free to move the ball around, we've got this!

You didn't really think we were going to give you time on the ball, did you?

It's that guy again.

Kazama-kun...

Kazama's man marking him again?

Seriously?

He totally destroyed him in the first half.

Maybe this is strategic.

You just don't learn, do you?

Thought I made it clear in the first half that I'll always win this match-up.

Well, we'll just have to see how it plays out this time.

You can't beat me!

Not on my own, no.

Kaoru!

Tsukamoto!

He took the ball from him!

What the hell was he even doing there?

How the hell should I know?!

Kimishita-senpai!

This jackass deliberately sent me into the clutches of Tsukamoto.

You're right. At this moment in time, you are the better player.

But...

Together, we can beat you!

They were combining from the beginning!

Here's the counterattack!

Awesome!

This is a huge chance for Seiseki!

Kisaragi!

Don't worry. It's under control.

We've got enough behind the ball.

Oh, is that what you think?

Get on them!

Don't let them get away!

Go!

Who's it going to?

Or will he bring it up himself?

It's Kazama and Number 17.

Who can he trust with the ball?

Not Number 17.

It's Kazama!

Believe.

It's going to Number 9!

You can do it!

Tsukamoto's got it!

He took it in his stride!

He did it!

Go!

Tsuku-chan!

Finish it.

P-Perfect.

Just like they practiced.

Kazama draws the defenders' attention, leaving Tsukamoto open.

That was textbook.

Narukami stopped it!

I can't believe my eyes!

Tsuku-chan.

Wow!

Narukami's a beast!

Good job, Narukami!

Super Narukami!

Thank you!

Finally.

I've got the ball now.

Oh, no...

You ran a long way, Narukami.

I was sure that was in.

That Number 17 failed to convert an absolute sitter.

Your shot was poor, but your run and your control were wonderful.

I don't think you'll get another chance like that, though.

Oh...

Kondou-kun, that Number 17 apparently only took up soccer three months ago.

I can tell.

That was a close one, but he doesn't have a soccer brain at all.

Still, he's on the pitch during a match that determines the best team in Tokyo.

And he's an important factor in making Seiseki's team what it is.

This is what makes soccer so fun.

I'm going to go settle this.

Those two have a lot in common.

Good save, Inohara-senpai!

That was a little too close!

It's not over yet!

Another block!

Saku High's trying to end it here and now!

Saku High got to the loose ball!

Keep your morale up!

Make sure the defense is watertight!

Seiseki!

Seiseki!

Seiseki!

Seiseki!

Seiseki! Fight!

That one moment has put us in a real hole.
