Put it in!

Go faster!

Okay!

Go, Fubuki!

He's coming!

Close up the defense line!

Yeah!

'Kay!

All right!

Toramaru-kun!

You won't get past me!

Gouenji-san!

You're not getting through!

In that case...

Tiger Drive!

Ijigen The Hand!

He shot it all on his own!

You made a good decision!

Yes!

Everyone, it's break time!

We have sandwiches today!

Thanks for the food!

Clash! Tiger and Hawk!!

Fuyuppe made these?

Yes, all by herself.

I'm not so sure about the taste...

Nah, they're good!

They really are delicious.

I can tell the manager has a kind personality from its taste!

Thank you!

Oh right!

We have a special present for everyone today!

Present?

Letters from everyone back in Japan!

From everyone?

Show us!

This is from Kurimatsu!

Let me see!

How are you, everyone?

Ever since I came back to Japan, I've done nothing but train every day with the rest of the members in Raimon Junior High.

Someoka-san, I'll keep getting better and better and make sure to come back to the team.

Kurimatsu...

This one's from Midorikawa.

Midorikawa-kun?

Are you doing well?

Your intense games have gotten all of Japan fired up.

When I think about my friends training hard to fight the champions of the world,

I can't lose face either!

A thousand mile journey begins with a single step.

I'll keep on practicing and come back a new person so I can play with everyone once again!

Midorikawa...

We can't lose either.

W-What's this?

Is that... a letter?

Even as a letter, it's really...

Who's it from?

Greetings, gentlemen of Inazuma Japan.

'Tis I, Saginuma Osamu.

Saginuma Osamu?!

Let me begin by saying that...

...you have done well thus far against the opponents of the world.

However, you will not win your next match against Italy unless you challenge yourselves even more than before.

To begin with, it was mostly due to the opponent's negligence that Japan's national team was able to gain victory before now.

But the iron wall defense that was shown in your last match with Argentina...

...is the world tournament in the real sense.

Men, I want you to continue practice with an even greater awareness than before.

I wish for both a match that will inspire me and give Inazuma Japan its victory.

From Japan with all of my soul.

Sincerely yours.

You write too much, Saginuma...

This one's for you, Toramaru-kun.

I have one too?

Yes.

Those guys...

I'm sorry!

Use Tiger Storm!

O-Okay!

Let's go, Toramaru!

Tiger...

Not even Gouenji can reach that.

Damn it!

They couldn't pull off Tiger Storm?

Don't mind! Nothing to worry about!

Captain.

Don't you think Toramaru is acting strangely?

Is he?

Thanks for a great meal!

We sure ran a lot today!

I'd like to go for a ride on the waves some time as a change of pace.

Sounds good to me.

Want to come along, Toramaru?

If you want to go, then don't drag me into it.

Thank you for the food.

Toramaru?

What's with your attitude? I was just inviting.

We came here to fight, not to fool around.

Say that again?

Hey, stop trying to provoke him into a fight.

What's wrong, Toramaru?

It's nothing.

Toramaru?

What's with him?

Just leave him alone.

I'll go talk to him.

Captain.

Let me handle this.

You?

Tobitaka...

You...

You!

You!

You...!

You seem pretty agitated, Toramaru.

Tobitaka-san.

A fight only begins after you challenge whoever annoyed you face-to-face.

If you just throw your anger at whatever you see...

...then you're only taking it out at undeserving people.

Lashing out at the others just 'cause you're off form isn't right.

I wasn't lashing out.

But it didn't leave them feeling good about it.

That's not my fault.

You remind me of my old self.

We'll have a dribbling contest.

If you can get past me three times, I won't speak of this anymore.

But if I manage to steal the ball from you even once...

I go apologize to everyone?

Fine.

I can take you.

Bring it on, Toramaru!

Here I go.

First one down!

I still have two chances left.

I'm coming.

One more to go.

There's no way I could lose to someone who only started up soccer recently.

Last one.

You're wasting your time, Tobitaka-san.

Try me, Toramaru.

This will end things once and for all.

Here!

I win.

Inazuma...

Eleven!

Inazuma Eleven.

I win.

You keep your promise.

No way...

How?

Your movements are too static.

That feint won't work against me, let alone the world.

I guess you weren't in your best form after all.

Follow me.

T-Tobitaka-san?

Okay, all done!

From Rairaiken's hidden menu, the Rairaidon.

Rairaidon...?

Eat up.

It's my treat.

Um...

Good, isn't it?

Hibiki-san taught me the recipe.

Hibiki-san?

Yeah.

Back when I was practicing in secret from everyone...

This is what he made for me out of Rairaiken's leftovers.

This sure takes me back...

A long time ago when Suzume and the others hung out at my place, I'd cook for them too.

I don't know what happened to you,

but once you fill your stomach, you can forget all about the bad stuff.

Tobitaka-san.

Here.

Toranoya?

Is this...?

It's from my mom.

I see...
