Sailing Towards Tomorrow
Asuto! Here I go!
Here goes!
Come on! Here goes!
Come on!
What was that, damn it.
Everyone, it's about time to take a break.
Goujin-senpai, that was a great shot!
I thought I was gonna make it.
To think it'd get stopped...
If the ball's course was just a bit sharper, I don't think I would have stopped it.
You've gotten better, senpai!
You think so? I guess I do feel more in control of my running lately.
With that, I bet you could connect a pass even against a real team.
Don't exaggerate.
Soccer sure is great.
You can forget any bad thoughts or worries while playing.
Norika-san, you have things you worry about??
That's unusual for you...
Hey, I'm gonna punch you!
Scary! Hey, I'm gonna punch you!
Scary!
Still, I'd love to have a real match!
Yeah!
Same here. It's true that on this island,
the only enemy teams to play against are grade schoolers or old people.
But...that's kind of lame, yeah?
If we're gonna play, it should be against a real team!
Alright! I'll try asking the principle!
Maybe he'll let us leave the island for a practice match!
Hey hey, I'm the captain here! I'll go with you.
Let's see if he can set us up a practice match with one of the mainland schools.
Really!?
A practice match?
Regrettably, that won't be possible.
The soccer scene's gotten hot lately,
and Inakuni hasn't been able to keep up with the heat.
What do you mean?
Have you heard about the sponsor system?
Yes, you mean the system that started on the mainland recently?
Due to the huge boost in popularity of soccer lately,
teams now need much more money for management.
That's where sponsors come in to provide that funding.
The other day, Japan's national youth soccer committee decided
that all soccer teams are obligated to have a sponsor.
However, I'm sorry to say that no sponsor has come to support Inakuni Middle's soccer club.
Don't tell me...we're being disbanded?
No way...everyone on this island loves playing soccer!
That doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is whether you have a sponsor or not.
So this rule applies even to an island like this?
In a small place like this, there's no way we'd get a danger hazard for being too crowded.
Rules are rules, no exceptions.
With that said, Inakuni's soccer club will be disbanded.
No way...
What's with that defiant look?
What is this...?
That's... the soccer ground is...
I won't let you disband the soccer club!
Geez, people who play soccer are so hot-blooded.
Soccer... I'll never let go of soccer!
Asuto!
What's going on here?
The soccer club... He said they're disbanding it...
Disbanded!?
I'll never accept it!
How about this?
Stop it!!! How about this?
Stop it!!!
This is our soccer ground!
What are you talking about?
It's been decided this area will be used for something new.
You're in the way. Go somewhere else!
Please wait!
Get off! Please wait!
This brat!
Asuto!
Asuto...
You're in the way of our work. Don't be stubborn!
I'll never allow this disbandment!
Asuto, please stop!
Never! Asuto, please stop!
Asuto!
I... Asuto!
I'll never... give up soccer!!! Asuto!
I'll never... give up soccer!!!
I don't want us to get disbanded either, but this is too much...
Norika, does that mean you're fine like this?
To be unable to play soccer!
Well of course I don't want that...
Even if we stopped the construction work, it wouldn't solve the problem.
That's right.
If we want to continue soccer, we need to think of a plan.
I'm not giving up soccer. I'll never...give up!!
Asuto, this is bad!
It's your mom...!
Mom!
Mom!
Asuto, what happened to your face?
It's nothing... Anyways, Mom, are you in pain?
I'm sorry, Asuto.
It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to stay with you anymore...
What are you saying? There's no way that's true!
We've been fine all this time, just the two of us!
And from here on too!
Asuto, there will always come a day when someone has to leave.
But the bonds you've created will never disappear.
So for Asuto and Mom too, we'll be connected forever.
No... So for Asuto and Mom too, we'll be connected forever.
No... Mom, don't die!
Not just soccer... are you going to disappear too?
Asuto... soccer will never disappear.
As long as you need it, soccer will be there for you.
Asuto... for you, there will always be tomorrow...
Mom... Mom, Mom!
Mom...
Mom!!!
Will Asuto be okay?
He went to the cliff... probably.
Probably...
Wake up! Asuto!
I have something to tell all of you.
A way for Inakuni's soccer club to avoid disbandment has come up.
We aren't getting disbanded?
A sponsor has appeared that agreed to support all of you under a certain condition.
Is that true?
And that condition is? Is that true?
And that condition is?
Participate in the Football Frontier and win one match!
Football Frontier?
You mean the Football Frontier that decides who's number one in Japan?
That's right.
However...
It seems impossible, so I thought I'd turn down the offer.
Hey, wait a minute!
How would we know without trying...
It's a waste of time even considering it.
But...
Is it that big of a deal? Winning the Football Frontier...
Well, obviously.
It's just one match!
In today's Football Frontier, you need considerable ability just to participate.
Even more if you intend to win...
We'll do it.
We'll do it! One win at the Football Frontier...
We'll show them!
Don't decide so easily. We don't even have the qualifications to play.
You don't need to worry about that. You do have qualifications. Don't decide so easily. We don't even have the qualifications to play.
You don't need to worry about that. You do have qualifications.
Huh?
All of you will be transferred to Tokyo's Champion school, Raimon.
If you become students of Raimon, you'll gain the qualifications to participate.
By Raimon you mean... that Raimon?
If it was all of you, I expected you'd be reckless enough to take up the offer.
So everything's already been prepared in advance.
So that means, we're going to leave this island and go to Tokyo.
Seems that way.
Besides that, there's no other way to continue playing soccer.
Though the chances of actually winning are near zero.
Thank you so much! I'll definitely do it!
For the sake of continuing soccer, I'll play in the Football Frontier!
Seriously!?
But...
Come on guys, we've been practicing all this time!
We can do it!
Asuto...
However,
your next match has already been decided.
Your opponent will be... Seishou Academy!
The team currently ranked No.1 in the whole country...
You guys, it's nothing to worry about. We're going to Tokyo.
We arrive in Tokyo, and take back soccer!
The Football Frontier, huh.
Just one victory... but...
Our opponent's Seishou Academy!
We don't stand a chance, gosu.
Acting like losers before even trying.
Who?
Oh, I did hear a transfer student joined the soccer club.
I came to this quite rural island for special training,
to think it's a gathering for cowards...
Not just soccer, I doubt you could do anything here.
What was that!?
Even before being able to continue soccer, you guys are already scared to fight.
There's no way chumps like you could win at the Football Frontier!
You bastard, try and say it!
If we give it our all, we can win one, maybe even two...!
The Football Frontier is a tournament that decides Japan's Number One.
From the get go, the committee will ask schools with no potential to withdraw before even trying.
For you cowardly lot who've never even left the island and can't use a single Hissatsu technique
there's no chance of winning.
Asshole!
Wait!
You'd better find a new hobby besides soccer.
I'm gonna do it!
For me, giving up soccer isn't an option.
Even if you guys are against it, I'll do it!
Go to Tokyo, and take back soccer!
Goujin-san, don't get provoked by a guy like that!
I'm not getting provoked.
I just felt like giving it a shot! For real!
That's what I mean...
I'll create one! A Hissatsu technique!
If I have a Hissatsu technique, maybe we can really win!
So this is Hissatsu training?
I can't even laugh when you say it so seriously.
Haven't you heard of it? "Fire Lemonade"...
You mean tornado, right...
Grandma. I'm going to Tokyo.
If we go to Tokyo, it seems we might be able to continue soccer.
Is that so. It'll get lonely here.
Sorry...
But if it's Kii-chan, I'm sure you'll win.
Yeah... We'll win.
I wonder how good the food is in Tokyo.
Has Han-chan already decided to go?
I don't wanna leave the island but... I wanna play soccer!
I see...
Golem, are you still on the fence?
Yeah... Han-chan's really amazing, huh!
What's wrong?
Dad, I... think I'll go to Tokyo.
Really now. A kid like you going to Tokyo.
That's why I'm going.
At least with soccer, maybe I can grow up.
I see...
Sorry.
Eat it. A farewell gift from me.
Going all the way over there, you better not lose to anyone.
Dad...
So Tokyo, huh...
I'll miss you, but if it's something you've decided I won't hold you back.
But Mom definitely won't like it.
Don't worry about it. Dad will sort things out.
Thanks.
Between going to Tokyo or staying on the island... I have to choose...
We've trained a lot so far.
I mean, I do feel we have a shot against the mainland teams but...
leaving this island's a painful thought.
Why can't we just freely play soccer?
That's because even if a team tries to look cool, without a sponsor they can't do anything.
That's just weird.
All we want to do is play some soccer.
Haven't you already come to terms with your feelings? All we want to do is play some soccer.
Haven't you already come to terms with your feelings?
Norika, you don't want to leave the island either, huh...
If we want to play soccer, we have to leave this island. I understand that.
But, if I'm gone, Mom will...
Norika! But, if I'm gone, Mom will...
Norika!
I'll be just fine!
If you run away here, you aren't a real woman of the sea!
Mom...
Don't tell me, she didn't hear us from all the way over there right?
Mom. I'm gonna leave this island.
I'm leaving to meet soccer.
Soccer will never disappear.
As long as I need it, soccer will be there for me, right?
No matter what, I'm bringing soccer back to this island! As long as I need it, soccer will be there for me, right?
No matter what, I'm bringing soccer back to this island!
Mom! Please watch over me!
Do your best! Keep it together!
Yeah!! Leave it to me!!
I'm going!
I'll do my best, gosu!
Stay healthy, everyone!
Everyone!
I'll do my best!
We're heading out!
Wow... so this is Raimon.
I kinda feel like we can hear the voices of those who played soccer before us!
So we can finally play soccer again here!
I'm getting fired up!
Yeah.
Hoo! I could cry!
I feel you!
But if this school won the Football Frontier last year,
why would they have us transfer in?
Right now, this school doesn't have a soccer club.
-Huh? -Why?
I don't know the details, but something happened and the club was paused indefinitely.
So that's why we can use their soccer facilities.
Wait just a second. If that's the case...
does that mean the players playing in the match next week is just gonna be us?
Seems like it.
Huh? Did everyone already know? Huh?? Huh???
I kinda guessed.
I had a hunch.
Gosu.
This is...
Could this be... the soccer clubroom?
It seems like it hasn't been used in a while.
But it does seem like it has good luck!
Nice. I'm starting to get excited!
For the week until the match, let's train hard so we can beat Seishou!
So here we have Raimon and Seishou's starting members.
They're lined up on the field!
Raimon's team is completely new compared to last year!
What kind of play will they show us today! Raimon's team is completely new compared to last year!
What kind of play will they show us today!
On the opposing team is the star of this tournament, Seishou Academy!
Defeating Teikoku in a practice match and rising in the race for a high rank,
they're here to take the title of being number one!
I wonder how good kids from the boonies can be.
They're from Inakuni Island.
So basically, the boonies.
They're awfully carefree. And probably stupid.
Please be quiet.
It's finally time.
Yeah.
Asuto... soccer will never disappear.
As long as you need it, soccer will be there for you.
Watch me, Mom.
I'm taking back soccer!
You can already see the result before the match!
To set those kids against demons in this situation,
are you trying to get them killed?
Football Frontier A Block Qualifiers First Match Raimon vs. Seishou
It's begun! Raimon vs. Seishou!
Raimon starts without delay!
Inamori cuts in with the ball!
So it's begun. The upset of the century.
Inamori makes a back pass to Kozoumaru!
Kozoumaru shows us some tricky cuts!
Fire Tornado!
What's this!? An unexpected development!!
This is... Fire Lemonade?
It's "Tornado"...
Against the top ranked Seishou Academy, thew new Raimon takes the first lead!
The crowd goes wild! Raimon looks delighted as well!
Wow Kozoumaru, we did it!
T-They did it... to think they'd make the first strike.
So... what will you do? Haizaki.
What is that? I didn't hear about this.
Indeed, being able to use Hissatsu techniques wasn't in the data.
And their running power is about 17% higher than what was in the data.
Looks like our research was off.
No, it wasn't.
They've brought it out. Their real strength, that is.
Interesting...
I might've finally found it.
That thing you call "light", Kidou.
Their eyes.
What about it?
Playing soccer... they find it fun.
That can't be the case.
Right?
We're gonna take you down!
I'd like to see you try.
Death Zone, initiated.
Death Zone, initiated.
Death Zone!
Seishou has immediately made a come back!
So this is the enemy's Hissatsu technique...
It's strong gosu...
Damn, they're so strong!
What's wrong? Stand up, small fry.
Yes yes, just like that
Since the match has only just begun!
So that's the Demon of the Field, Haizaki!
The match continues. The current score is 1 vs 1!
Which side will the goddess of victory smile upon!?
What's with this pressure!?
Captain!
Their pressure is too quick!
Fall back!
-Okay! Fall back!
So this is Seishou Academy... -Okay! Fall back!
So this is Seishou Academy...
But still, we can't afford to lose!
The Demon of the Field
[One week wearlier]
"Soccer Club"
You can't just bust in!
It really won't open...
Still, this really is different from the school back on the island.
I feel kinda like my energy's goin up like this!
Raise your skill instead.
Aren't those the guys who were going to join the soccer team?
Can country bumpkins even play?
So you're the soccer team that's come here from Inakuni Island.
That's right. And you are?
I'm Mikado Anna. That's right. And you are?
I'm Mikado Anna.
I'm the student council president, and I'm in charge of all club management.
Examining the new soccer club is also part of the student council's duty.
Whaddya mean by examining?
If it looks like there's no worth in the club, it will be disbanded.
And for a no sponsors team to pick up the name of Raimon,
this might be a good place to end it!
We're going to win. Win and take back soccer!
Really? Do you even know who you're up against?
Who?
Seishou's Ace Striker, otherwise known as the demon of the field.
Once you catch his eye,
he'll attack relentlessly to the point your team won't be able to recover.
And so, he's ended quite a number of teams.
The demon of the field?
His name is Haizaki Ryouhei.
I've heard about him.
As long as he's on the field, Seishou will always win by over 10 points.
However, the chance of him coming out is about one in every three games.
I wonder how good you're lottery luck is.
Besides, in the one-in-a-million chance that a top ranked school
like Seishou loses to the likes of you...
Heaven and Earth would flip over.
Then they can go ahead and flip over!
At any rate, I'll be judging your skills during your first match.
Tch! What a bunch of rude people.
Still, from the view point of the people here,
we're just a bunch of country kids from who knows where.
To see us replace their popular soccer team, of course they can't accept it.
Well I guess so...
Ah, you're here! What a relief!
You're the soccer team that came from Inakuni Island, yes?
So that means you're all the New Raimon Eleven!
You're...?
Ah, I'll introduce myself.
I'm stepping in as the role of Raimon soccer club's manager!
My name's Ootani Tsukushi!
Pleased to meet you!
Manager... This really is a big name school, huh.
I guess that's obvious.
The previous managers for the club are all away right now so,
as the new manager, I, Ootani Tsukushi, will do my best to fulfill this role!
Yes! Pleased to meet you!
Well then, the principle called for you, so I'll lead you there.
So you're the Inakuni Island Eleven, huh...
I've already heard everything. Please enjoy playing soccer at our school.
Yes!
Principle, I have one question...
What happened to the original soccer club?
Hmm... I might as well tell you.
About the mission given for Raimon's soccer club to carry out...
In the world of youth's soccer, Raimon has already become legendary.
To have gone from a no name school to top victor in one fell swoop.
Teikoku Academy had gone undefeated 40 years,
and suddenly Raimon came out victorious.
They even defeated Zeus, known as one of the strongest.
Yes, there's no soccer player who doesn't know about Raimon.
Why would such an amazing team...
Right now, in order to help Japan stand against the world, they're lending their strength.
As soccer reinforcement members!
Soccer reinforcement members?
In order to raise the level of Japan's soccer as a nation,
they join teams all across the country to stand as leader-like figures, guiding them along.
In fact, the teams they've joined have become much stronger.
Strong enough to raise the power of the Football Frontier's standards.
Well! Until the day you can face the teams carrying Raimon's genes,
I'll be looking quite forward to it!
Raimon soccer club's genes...
Well then, I'll only ask that you not bring shame to Raimon's name.
Yes!
Aah, since we don't have a sponsor, usually you wouldn't
be able to participate in the tournament, however
I reported that the procedure was delayed, so there's no need to worry.
Well then, I'll leave the rest to your coach. Good day!
Everyone, line up!
I'm your coach, Kameda. And this is coach Chou Kinun.
Ohohohoho! At ease, everyone. I'm your coach, Kameda. And this is coach Chou Kinun.
Ohohohoho! At ease, everyone.
Our coach...
He's Chinese?
He's a big guy, gosu.
You are too.
From here on, you're all the official members of Raimon's soccer club.
Carry that pride with your actions.
Yes!
Now change into your uniforms.
Uniform!
So this is Raimon's uniform!
Isn't it a little flashy?
It's cute!
To be able to wear Raimon's uniform, I'm moved!
Yeah, it's a good feeling.
It's kinda...
It gives a good vibe!
So we're now the Raimon Eleven...
It's really starting to feel real!
I'm getting excited gosu!
Wow, everyone looks amazing!
I just remembered how the old Raimon was like when working hard...
I see.
So Tsukushi-san knew Endou-san and the rest of them, right?
Who's that?
Goujin-senpai, that's terrible!
To be that uninformed...
Endou Mamoru... the one who took the no name Raimon,
and led them to become the nation's greatest as their legendary captain!
It's true that Endou-kun was an amazing person!
Ah! This isn't the time to cry!
Everyone, I'll be passing out your Eleven Bands.
Eleven Band?
This is another thing required of all soccer players.
The band can measure the player's current actions and status,
and receive directions from the coach even in the middle of a match!
To make sure players don't over excercise, or to see if you're in perfect condition,
it also works to protect everyone!
Ah, that's the cue from the coach to meet up!
I took a look at the practice menu.
What is the meaning of this?
I've never seen a practice this cruel!
Is that so? Hohohohoho!
Do you really have any knowledge about soccer!?
Well, I do have a bit. Do you really have any knowledge about soccer!?
Well, I do have a bit.
A bit!?
Like I said! I have more pride in my kung-fu than in my soccer!
Huh?? Please wait a second...
What do you mean by that?
Looks like they've arrived.
All eleven of us have gathered.
Excellent. Even though it's the first day let's jump right into practice.
Are all of you prepared?
Yes sir!
Well then, I'll explain this week's practice plan in preparation for your match.
Yes! Well then, I'll explain this week's practice plan in preparation for your match.
Yes!
Let's see... for day one, run 100 laps around the riverbed.
And that's it for day one. Let's see... for day one, run 100 laps around the riverbed.
And that's it for day one.
The match is in only one week.
So this is the practice meant for right before a match?
Day two, run up and down Inazuma Hill 100 times.
Day three, pull a tire around Tenbo Park 100 times.
Day four, pick up trash in the Inazuma Shopping District. 100 bags per person. Day three, pull a tire around Tenbo Park 100 times.
Day four, pick up trash in the Inazuma Shopping District. 100 bags per person.
Day five, dribble around Tsurugame Park 100 times. Day four, pick up trash in the Inazuma Shopping District. 100 bags per person.
Day five, dribble around Tsurugame Park 100 times.
Day six will be a break. That's it for our practice menu.
Well then everyone, it must be difficult getting used to this place after coming straight here.
Please get familiar with the town soon.
Alright, meeting ends here.
W-Wait just a second!
We want to do training that'll help us win!
Stuff like Hissatsu techniques! Please!
You don't have to be so impatient.
But if we don't win our next match, we won't be able to play soccer anymore! You don't have to be so impatient.
But if we don't win our next match, we won't be able to play soccer anymore!
I see...
Then I'll ask, in order to continue playing soccer,
what do you think you should be trying to do?
Eh... well that's... practicing of course.
And then?
We keep training, and then beat Seishou!
And then?
We'll get a sponsor, and then we can continue playing soccer.
Tick tock, tick tock...
Wrong!!
Eh?? Why??
What all of you must do to continue playing soccer... That answer is...
By not losing, of course!
What's up with this fatty!? Messing with people like this!!
Goujin-san, calm down!
Like I said, there must be a training meant for winning! Goujin-san, calm down!
Like I said, there must be a training meant for winning!
No matter what you say, my practice menu is final.
If you skip, I'll know right away thanks to the Eleven Band.
Isn't there something wrong here!?
I'm gonna die...
Right before our match, why focus on physical training...
We came all this way just for this...
But a lot of people in town called out to us, huh.
To the people in this town, Raimon's uniform is probably something special.
I think this is the place. Kogarashi Manor.
So this is where we'll be living.
It seems new! With the smell of wood, it gives a nice vibe!
This will be my first time sleeping somewhere off the island gosu.
I'm worried I won't be able to gosu...
You'll get used to it!
We won't just be playing soccer. We get to play in the Football Frontier too!
It's almost like a dream!
Though if we lose, everything ends there.
We'll win. That's for sure.
So you're the kids from the countryside?
Huh?? It's Inakuni, granny. Don't get it wrong!
Is that so! I forgot, sorry sorry!
So you must be the one in charge here, Kazeaki-san, yes?
Kazeaki Yone. Just call me Yone-san!
Well then, come in, come in!
Yone-san, I'll be in your care!
We'll be in your care!
So we'll be facing the demon of the field... なんか わくわくするな!
It's getting me kind of excited!
Asuto, aren't you scared?
We might get totally defeated...
Even so, we'll be playing soccer against strong opponents!
And at the national level to boot.
Of course I'm a little scared. But I'm also looking forward to what kind of match we'll have.
I'm sure we'll be facing some amazing players!
That's just like you.
I made a promise to my mom. That I'd bring back soccer.
Yeah. Let's take back soccer!
Raimon may have scored the first point in the match, however...!
Thanks to Seishou's onslaught, they're already behind 5 points!
Damn it! I can't afford to lose here!
Kidou... Where exactly is the merit in fighting these guys?
[A few days ago]
Haizaki. In the next match against Raimon, I want you to play.
Haa? So it's you.
I'm the only one who decides whether or not I play.
I don't care if you're a reinforcement member, I do what I want.
But you're going to play.
What?
If it's you, that team should catch your interest.
For a team that can't even use Hissatsu techniques, I doubt it. Where's the merit in that?
Who knows. Where exactly? Maybe their potential...or something like that.
Huh... Who knows. Where exactly? Maybe their potential...or something like that.
Huh...
Kidou Yuuto, the absolute leader of the pitch, getting interesting in a shit team like that?
Wait, Haizaki.
Huh?
You've been searching.
You've been searching... for that which will save you from the darkness...
It's possible that Raimon may become that "light" you seek.
Leave me alone.
Where am I even going? Kidou! Leave me alone.
Where am I even going? Kidou!
Show it to me! The limits of your potential!
You guys! Don't let up!
I won't let him defeat us by himself! You guys! Don't let up!
I won't let him defeat us by himself!
Even if you say that..! I won't let him defeat us by himself!
Even if you say that..!
We can't stop him! Even if you say that..!
We can't stop him!
This really is... the demon of the field!
I'll never let you pass!
Overhead Penguin!!
Penguins!?
What is that!?
I won't let you score anymore points!
We'll keep fighting... to the very end!!
We won't lose!
I'll never give up!
I'll stop it!
So you only amount to this much... I was a fool to expect anything more.
With a score of 10 to 1,
Seishou Academy has shown their place as number one!
That one point was hopeful
but it looks like for Raimon's new members from Inakuni Island,
facing against Seishou was way too much for them!!
The result was as expected.
That's true, but...
Nishikage... can you look into that Raimon a bit for me?
Understood.
Weaklings...
It's rare for you to get so worked up.
It's just that looking at their soccer pissed me off a little.
Even though they're a bunch of losers, just their eyes that kept on blazing.
Yeah. The reason why looking at them annoyed you was,
because those kids were actually trying to win.
So this is the end...
We can't play soccer anymore, huh.
For it to end so soon like this...
So they could only amount to this much.
In the end, they were really just stray cats from a country island.
What's up with the gloomy faces, everyone?
Soccer definitely won't disappear.
If we don't give up, I'm sure a chance will come!
Asuto...
Until now, we've all been saved by soccer.
We've overcome all sorts of hard times!
That's why we can't let go of soccer. Someday we'll definitely take it back!
Ah, that's right! We've come all the way to Tokyo!
Why don't we go sightseeing?
From Tokyo's Sunshine Tower, we can see the whole town!
Sounds great! Let's do that!
Just according to Ares, Seishou was victorious.
Of course. Ares sees everything.
However, that Raimon team...
There's something about them.
Is that so.
To me it just looks like a gathering of country kids.
Amazing!
This is a view you'd never see back on the island. Amazing!
This is a view you'd never see back on the island.
Tokyo really is amazing, huh!
So this is the top of Tokyo...
Asuto...
I thought we'd be able to play soccer here...
Mom...
Sorry... I...
All of us... we wanted to play more soccer...
Han-chan...
Oi oi... in a place like this...
Hey hey, you Raimon kids, Oi oi... in a place like this...
Hey hey, you Raimon kids,
I was moved by your match. It was really something!
Who are you?
I'm the president of Island Tourism. My name is Shimabukuro Ikutaro. Who are you?
I'm the president of Island Tourism. My name is Shimabukuro Ikutaro.
Here's my card.
THAT Island Tourism!?
Is he famous?
It's a major travel agency!
So you saw our match.
Thank you very much...
Well, it really was a very moving match.
But we lost, yeah?
A match isn't about winning or losing.
To have taken a point against that Seishou,
and to have even played seriously until the very end.
It was really something.
But a loss is a loss. It was really something.
But a loss is a loss.
With this, our soccer ends here.
No it won't.
Our company, Island Tourism, has taken an interest in Inakuni's Eleven,
and have decided to sponsor the new Raimon team.
Even if you lost the match, your spirits never did.
And that's what moved my heart.
Do you really... mean that?
Then... that means!!
We can still play soccer!!
Hooray!!
やった! やった!
I see... So that's how it was.
What what was?
What our coach's words meant.
What all of you must do to continue playing soccer... That answer is...
By not losing, of course!
What he said about not losing...
Even if we lose the match, as long as we don't lose these feelings,
another path can still open up for us.
Also, that week we spent before the match,
Thanks to that training, we went all over the town, Also, that week we spent before the match,
Thanks to that training, we went all over the town,
and met many of the people living there. Thanks to that training, we went all over the town,

Even though it was an unfamiliar town... it was a lot of fun.
It's true that during that training, all of us kids who just came here
not one of us said anything about wanting to go home.
The training our coach planned to help us continue soccer...
It really worked!
Our next match has been decided!
Time for practice!
Eh? Our practice menu... is what now?
Next time on Inazuma Eleven: Balance of Ares
The Mysterious Coach, Chou Kinun
Inazuma Eleven. Today's proverb.
Soccer will never disappear. As long as you need it, soccer will be there for you!
That's all!
