In the second match of the finals Japan faces host France in a stadium filled with fans for the home team. Still Japan pulls off a three-way attack, stealing the ball back from a furious French captain, Pierre, who now seems to be planning something…

Ten minutes into the first half, Soda is given his second yellow card, forcing Japan to play on with only ten players. Then, Pierre gets a penalty kick, upping the score 2 to 1. Hyuga doesn’t give up, but luck just doesn’t seem be on Japan’s side…

Thanks to Misaki, the score is tied, initiating the first overtime of the tournament. But Coach Mikami is out of substitutions, and everyone is more than fatigued. Now Japan’s worst fears have become a reality. Things are not looking good…

It’s overtime, and Hyuga is ready to fight. He takes on Pierre, but Hyuga’s badly injured leg allows his opponent to swipe the ball out from underneath him. France continues to launch a brutal wave of attacks. Meanwhile, Wakashimazu is writhing in pain.

Overtime in the second match of the finals is underway, but a winner has yet to be declared. Now five representatives from each team are to join the kickoff. First up is France’s captain, Pierre. The whistle sounds. Whom will fortune smile on today?

At last the final. Japan is to face off against Germany. While Team Japan has managed to survive so far, it’s a team of injured players. And the big surprise is the starting lineup. Wakabayashi’s debut is now. Japan is now the strongest is has ever been!

The time for kickoff at the finals has arrived! Wakabayashi’s research on Team Germany has proven successful as Japan manages to dominate early on. Only this time Germany’s goalie is the elusive and intensely foreboding Steel Giant, Deuter Muller.

In the first half, Wakabayashi’s research has given the advantage to Team Japan. Then Japan gets another chance at that prized first point with a free kick. But strangely, Goalie Muller wants nothing standing between him in front of the goal and Tsubasa.

Schneider’s Fire Shot may’ve dashed Japan’s hopes of a first point, but Hyuga is already devising a comeback. With Tsubasa’s help, he is about to unleash something no one could have anticipated—the fiercest kick in soccer history!

Something has been weighing on Tsubasa’s mind. Katagiri’s cryptic message from halftime about page 52 must be a reference to the notebook, the one into which Roberto put all he knew. Soon Tsubasa traces his memories, stirring up lessons from the past.

Japan pulls off a second point and Germany is frantic! What’s more, Schneider has no feeling in his left leg. Just as Germany’s offense appears to have cracked under the pressure, Schneider wakes up his teammates. Now Germany’s Workman, Kaltz, is pumped.

Tsubasa Oozora has just moved to Nankatsu in Shizuoka. He is a passionate soccer boy and instead of helping with the move, he runs away to dribble his ball around the city. What happens next is close to a fated encounter. He meets Genzo Wakabayashi. He is a young, genius goalkeeper. Tsubasa watches him catching one ball after another from his middle school partner and is impressed by Wakabayashi’s skills, so he challenges him. He says that he can shoot the ball all the way to Wakabayashi’s house and land it on the roof. As proof, he writes something on the ball.
