00:00In Azuma, Japan, I've taken the first point!
00:04We're here at the Asian Football Frontier International Preliminaries,
00:07but the field is still wide open.
00:09Who will win, Korea or Japan?
00:15Don't worry. I'll keep the team together while you're off the field.
00:19But you've got to figure out what the coach wants from us.
00:23I'm sorry, Jude.
00:26You don't see anything past the end of your nose, do you?
00:29And you call yourself a captain.
00:32The way things are right now, in Azuma, Japan, you've never won this.
00:35And not understanding that fact makes you...
00:38a failure as a captain.
00:41I need to concentrate on what the coach said and try and figure this out.
00:59Always moving forward, baby
01:02Even if it means straining yourself
01:05So much that you fall and scrape your knees
01:08It's not a problem since I don't want to regret it now
01:11I'll keep on challenging myself
01:13Even if I fall flat on my face
01:14I'll get back up again
01:16I'll beat my negative thoughts and fight it
01:18The sound of thunder that chases all my tears
01:19Now let's go!
01:21All of us towards the next level
01:23Don't mind
01:25Almost there
01:27Just a little further
01:30When I held my tears
01:32And gave up all my dreams
01:35And hid my pain and my wounds
01:38All of those reckless things I did
01:42Weren't in vain
01:44I'll get to glory
01:47Without giving up
01:48I'll get my soul
01:51Burning
01:52Everything that I've learned
01:54Is what makes me
01:57Who I am now
01:59Yeah, yeah
02:00Let's win and cry about it
02:02Yeah, yeah
02:03Let's win and cry about it
02:06Yeah, yeah
02:07Let's go with a strong will
02:09Of this line of teams
02:15The perfect zone, press!
02:21All right, Sean. Let's get another for safety, huh?
02:24Sure!
02:25Here it comes!
02:27The perfect tactical maneuver!
02:28Frost is more of a threat than praise
02:30because of his dual offensive and defensive abilities.
02:33So we'll start with him.
02:36Now it's Fire Dragon's turn to get things started!
02:39Here comes the start of their counterattack!
02:44Take your time!
02:45Watch the ball carefully!
02:48Huh!
02:53Looks like you've improved a little since we last met.
02:56But you're still not that great.
02:58What are you talking about, huh?
03:12Snow Angel!
03:15And Frost burns the dragon again!
03:17Inazuma Japan take possession back!
03:23He just smiled?
03:24What the heck?
03:26This is a big chance for Inazuma Japan!
03:28The whole team is moving up the field!
03:30Pass to Sean!
03:33Frost with a pass off to Kane!
03:35This is where it starts.
03:37The absolute perfect tactical maneuver.
03:41Here's a roar of the dragon!
03:43The best move ever defied!
03:45The perfect zone press!
03:48Hey, what's this?
03:59What are they doing?
04:07Uh-oh.
04:08Look out, guys! This is bad!
04:10Watch your backs!
04:12I'll say!
04:13Fire Dragon's midfielders have Kane surrounded on the inside ring!
04:17While they do the same to Frost on the outside ring!
04:19Inazuma Japan's polished team play has been broken up!
04:24I've never seen this play before.
04:26They cut them off.
04:27There's no way either of them can get the ball to us now.
04:31I'm so sorry to tell you this, but this isn't a play.
04:34It's a tactic.
04:35What's that?
04:37Just look at how the trap is moving.
04:40Can you see the dragon closing in on them?
04:50Now then, how might you escape from this, do you think?
05:01This doesn't look good at all.
05:02They're closing in on us.
05:04The rings are closing in on Frost and Kane!
05:07There's nothing they can do about it!
05:09They're completely helpless!
05:20And there it is!
05:21The ball has been stolen from Kane!
05:23I don't think so!
05:24I'm taking that baby back!
05:26Oh shoot, he's down!
05:27Get up, man!
05:29Holy tamale!
05:30It's like running into a big iron wall!
05:33The ball has gone from the midfielder's ring to the defender's ring!
05:38They're moving so fast!
05:39How can they pass so accurately?
05:42Why don't you try taking it off us?
05:44Why not?
05:45I think I will!
05:46Okay, now I'm mad!
05:47We're gonna tear down this wall!
05:49Ready, Sean?
05:50You bet I am!
05:52No!
06:06Oh, nasty!
06:07Kane and Frost just ran into each other!
06:12Oh no, are they okay?
06:14What an unbelievable development!
06:16We got casualties from friendly fire!
06:19You okay?
06:21What can I say?
06:22Accidents happen.
06:23I hate to say it, but that was entirely their fault.
06:27Although we keep the pressure on and make you crazy with fear,
06:30you see, that's how we're going to control you.
06:33Because you can't make accurate judgments when you're scared.
06:37So you're going to control our minds, huh?
06:40See, even you're confused right now.
06:43Do you like it?
06:44We spent a very long time perfecting this tactic.
06:47It's called the Perfect Zone Press.
06:51How are you guys?
06:52You think you can keep playing?
06:54Of course we can.
06:55This is absolutely nothing, man.
06:56Sorry if we made you guys worry about us.
06:59Banyan and Hobbes, I'm putting you on.
07:01What?
07:02We're substitutes?
07:03Really?
07:04You can't, Coach.
07:05We're fine.
07:06We can still play.
07:09So you're planning to play without legs, are you?
07:12Inazuma Japan take their injured men off the field
07:14and switch in Banyan and Hobbes.
07:19Come on, guys.
07:20Hang on to the lead.
07:22Inazuma Japan have possession
07:24and Greenway moves it up the field.
07:26But there's a sledgehammer heading his way.
07:31But Greenway gets past and continues on his way.
07:33And he's out of the game.
07:34He's out of the game.
07:35He's out of the game.
07:36He's out of the game.
07:37He's out of the game.
07:38He's out of the game.
07:39He's out of the game.
07:40But Blue Man moves past and continues on his way.
07:42Nice work, Big Guy.
07:46Nice pass.
07:49Let's do this, guys!
07:51The perfect zone press.
07:54Not bad again.
07:58It's kind of scary seeing it up close.
08:01Oh man.
08:02Here it is again.
08:03The perfect zone press.
08:04This time it's Hoffman and Big Guy caught in the trap.
08:07Plast!
08:08Are you guys stupid?
08:09Don't let them get you!
08:12I think it's a little late for that advice.
08:15They've already got us, and it's scary as heck being in here.
08:19If this were a fight, I could take these clowns down no problem, but...
08:23The Inazuma boys can't move an inch!
08:25Other teams who've gone up against Fire Dragon have had the same thing happen to them!
08:28Their blades just crumble and fall apart!
08:30There's nothing they can do, and it's not looking good!
08:33Inazuma Japan are heading down the same path!
08:40I'm taking it!
08:44Now all can be found!
08:50And the ball pops out of the cyclone at midfield!
08:52Now Fire Dragon have possession!
08:54Inazuma Japan's plans have been thwarted again!
08:57They're struggling to try and catch him!
09:04I'm not letting you pass!
09:07Whoa!
09:10Amidala's trapped!
09:15And a half a second later, it's destroying the goaltender!
09:18Look out, Siren!
09:25Atomic...Flare!
09:30Will this shot level the score?
09:33Huh?
09:36Now get lost!
09:39Pass!
09:48Goal!
09:50Kariya leveled the score!
09:54He couldn't hold it!
09:56What's up? Those guys haven't managed to do a single thing since they got that one point!
10:01If they don't win this, they don't progress!
10:03Come on, guys! Hang in there!
10:06Japan are pretty sexy today, aren't they?
10:08Look, Fire Dragon are just playing with them.
10:11I'm really sorry, guys. I just couldn't hold it.
10:14Relax. We're all responsible for losing that point.
10:18The perfect zone press is the scariest move I've ever seen.
10:22But it's nothing to worry about, right, Axel?
10:24Remember, you and I haven't had a chance to show them our secret weapon yet.
10:28They haven't seen our combo move.
10:30So then, can you make that move under pressure, though?
10:33I don't think anyone will be able to concentrate.
10:36Hey, wait a second! You've just given me an awesome idea, Nathan!
10:44You won't need to work on those anymore.
10:47Interesting. He told us not to practice our combo moves because he knew we wouldn't be able to use them.
10:54So he wanted to break down our reliance on him, didn't he?
10:58As far as the mud pool training...
11:01Somewhere in there is a clue for us. A method to turn the game around.
11:13It's about time you showed our friends the result of your training.
11:19All right. Put your mind back into that field of mud.
11:22And control the ball as if it's stuck in the mud.
11:26Mud... I get it.
11:30The game resumes and Japan has the ball!
11:33Here comes Hobbes! Can he break through with his dribble?
11:37Over here, Austin! This way!
11:39Here!
11:43The perfect zone press!
11:52Now it's Sharpen Hobbes caught in the cyclone!
11:55You've been selected as our next victim.
11:57This field is made out of mud.
11:59What?
12:00Now, let's get this ball out!
12:05I'll handle this!
12:11So that's what the mud was about.
12:13It all makes sense now!
12:17Whirlwind Force, go!
12:20They managed to keep possession!
12:22It's working! The mud field training is working!
12:25Yeah! That was awesome work!
12:27Now that's what I call a great tactic!
12:29And how about we call that one the Route of the Sky or something?
12:33Yeah! Awesome name!
12:42Just as I thought.
12:43The perfect zone press is only effective when the ball stays on the ground.
12:47If you're going to try and control our minds by controlling the field...
12:51...you better try and control the air above the field as well.
12:55Here's another amazing and unexpected counterattack!
12:58They're passing the ball so quickly, they're barely even touching the ground!
13:02And in the blink of an eye, the ball is right in front of the fire dragon net!
13:07Meteor Blade!
13:16Big explosive slam!
13:22It was a huge shot, but an even more gigantic save!
13:26The score remains the same!
13:28Too close!
13:32You've sparked my interest in Azuma Japan.
13:35You've proven yourselves to be worthy opponents.
13:38That's quite a compliment coming from you.
13:40The dragon will bare its fangs and take flight.
13:43Keep in mind, nobody can compete with our tactics!
13:47And a massive throw delivers the ball into the Japanese zone!
13:52Thanks very much!
13:53Pops is hooping it back up the field!
13:55Here come Inazuma Japan one more time!
13:58Take it easy!
13:59Got it!
14:04Racing Blade!
14:06Well, that didn't last.
14:07Now Fire Dragon has got the ball back again!
14:09We're going back and forth like a seesaw!
14:12Take this!
14:13Okay Axel, it's time for our special move!
14:15Come on, let's do it man!
14:17You got it!
14:18You ready?
14:19Yeah!
14:35Tiger!
14:43There!
14:48Storm!
14:51And here comes the combo shot from Blazin' Hops!
14:54But ouch! Is that baby ever wide?
14:58How could he miss that?
14:59Well, that was bad. Our timing was way off.
15:08Is something the matter?
15:10Nope. We'll get it next time. Let's go.
15:21Come on Axel, concentrate!
15:23You've got to do better than this in your last game.
15:26You have to!
15:33Abadon Drop!
15:36Take this!
15:39What the heck? That shot blew one player into the next!
15:44Are you okay?
15:46Unfortunately not. I sprained it.
15:52Sorry, I didn't read his move as well as I should have.
15:56Even though we've managed to neutralize the Perfect Zone Press,
15:59Fire Dragon's skills are just incredible.
16:02Substitution! Todd, you're on.
16:05All right! Check me out! I'm finally getting playtime!
16:09Do your best, big guy!
16:11You bet!
16:14Inazuma Japan are making another switch!
16:17Watch their captain. He's got a serious kick.
16:20Just leave it to me!
16:26Which tries to make a play!
16:33Let's go, Todd!
16:34Yeah!
16:36Let's try my Phantom Dribble!
16:40Racing Fleece!
16:42Denied! The Phantom Dribble was just an illusion!
16:46Here comes the Koreans again!
16:52You're not the only ones who've evolved their moves.
16:58Almighty Break!
17:02No!
17:06Mugen Lock!
17:18Goal!
17:20Byron's brand new shot, the God Break,
17:22takes Mugen to hand and pries its fingers apart!
17:25Far enough to get the ball through. It's 2-1 Korea!
17:33Where did he get that power from?
17:35It's three times greater than the God No Shot, at least.
17:38Not good. They're ahead.
17:43And that's the end of the first half!
17:49We're looking forward to the second half.
17:51And when it's done, we'll be in and you'll be out.
17:55Look at them. They don't even care.
17:59I'm really sorry about that, Mark.
18:01Don't worry about it. There's plenty of time to get it back.
18:04I'm going to change things around in the second half.
18:15Greenway and Sharp, you're both now on the bench.
18:18What the... you're kidding me!
18:20You're pushing too hard. You don't have any energy left.
18:23And you're starting to get sloppy.
18:25I shouldn't have to be telling you this.
18:27No, sir.
18:29As for Jude, it's his knee.
18:31You hurt it in the collision earlier, didn't you?
18:34What?
18:35Are you serious, Jude?
18:37I'm surprised that you noticed.
18:39You keep moving around and trying to hide it, but you can't fool me.
18:43Of course not, sir.
18:46So, Caleb, you're going on.
18:49Caleb?
18:55Oh, I'm finally on?
18:57Wait a minute, Coach. He's not even a team player. You can't put him on.
19:01For a life-or-death game like this, it doesn't make sense.
19:04He could mess everything...
19:05The enemy doesn't know him.
19:08Caleb is our joker.
19:11Joker, huh? I like it.
19:13Hey, you're right. He hasn't played a single game, has he?
19:16So that means the Koreans won't have any data on him at all.
19:19That's true. If it works out, it could give us our momentum back.
19:23Yeah, but...
19:24Yep, that's a pretty good point.
19:27That was a very smart thing to say, Captain.
19:35The strong feed on the weak in order to survive.
19:38That's the law of the jungle.
19:42Okay, Coach. What about the other player?
19:44No. We're going to go out there with ten.
19:47What?
19:48What did he...
19:53Huh?
20:09How are you feeling? Pretty good?
20:11Yep. Ready for anything.
20:13And Archer, I forgot to say, you're looking really good out there.
20:16Keep the momentum going.
20:19All right.
20:24How are you feeling, Sean? Are you okay?
20:27Do you want to see a doctor?
20:29No, I'm fine. I'll stay with the team.
20:32I want to see the end of the game with my own eyes.
20:39Perfect. They're falling to pieces from the fear of the dragon.
20:43Even so, we can't let our guard down. Evans is still benched.
20:47Yep.
20:48He hasn't played yet, has he?
20:51But he's the captain and their spirit leader.
20:54Well then, we'll just have to stay vigilant.
20:59Sharp is on the bench getting treated.
21:01And Inazuma Japan have made yet another substitution.
21:04With the elusive Caleb making his first appearance in the tournament.
21:07Korea is dominating 2-1.
21:09And for some unfathomable reason,
21:11Japan are starting the second half with only ten players.
21:14Only time will tell if this strategy is a foolish one.
21:18Starting with ten players, huh?
21:21And the second half begins!
21:28Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
21:47Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
21:52Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
21:58Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:04Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:10Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:15Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:21Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:27Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:33Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:39Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:45Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:51Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
22:57Will this strangely coiffed boy be the one to turn the game around?
23:03Wow!
23:07Well, Caleb's finally on the field, and we finally learn the truth behind his abrasive personality.
23:12Meanwhile, I start to see the sense behind Coach Travis's strategy.
23:16Coming up next...
23:17Stand up, Captain!
23:20This game is off the hook!
