He goes into a rampage once more and wants to attack them but Matsukaze Tenma stops him by taking his blow in his face. The gang still continues to insult Kusaka. Unable to control himself anymore, Kusaka changes into his Berserker Mode. When he is about to attack, he is halted by none other than his childhood friend, Kanda Satoko, who calls out to him from the audience. What will she do to help him?

Training! The Black Room!

Kusaka’s Two Faces

Finally, the members of Inazuma Japan are announced at the Holy Road Stadium! Matsukaze Tenma, Shindou Takuto and Tsurugi Kyousuke are chosen, but all their other teammates are strangers from various schools around Japan. When they have an exhibition match against Teikoku, none of the members, other than those three, seem to know that they are doing. In fact, a few of them are only soccer beginners! The fans lose interest immediately—what a disappointment for Japan's national team.

The Worst! Shinsei Inazuma Japan!!

Matsukaze Tenma is excited for practice and as he arrives along with Tsurugi Kyousuke and Shindou Takuto for practice, they seem to learn a lot more about the other players. Like how Matatagi Hayato has siblings, to whom Tenma says that their brother is fast. Shindou is still angry about the new players, to the extent that he talks with Kuroiwa Ryuusei, saying the plan for the match against Fire Dragon will be just him defending, Tsurugi shooting, and Tenma passing the ball. Ibuki Munemasa overhears this and gets angry. Ibuki then keeps training hard, even though he still doesn't succeed in catching Shindou's and Tsurugi's shoots. Near night, Matatagi and Tenma have another conversation but it seems that it wasn't entirely enough to encourage Matatagi.

Dark Clouds Hovers Again! Starts The World Championship!!

The match between Inazuma Japan and Fire Dragon continued. Fire Dragon easily obtained the lead with 0-1 and Inazuma Japan were still not up to their fullest. What would happen next? Would Inazuma Japan be able to win or would they be eliminated before their challenge to the world even begins?

A Small Change

The match between Inazuma Japan and Fire Dragon has ended with Inazuma Japan winning. However, some members of the team don't participate in training because of their contract with Kuroiwa that they can do whatever they want after winning the first match. Tenma tries to persuade everyone to join the training but fails. Shindou goes to Gouenji's place to ask for a back-up and finds out that Kuroiwa is trying to take over the world of soccer into darkness. The next day, an withdrawal exam of Inazuma Japan is announced that those who passes will be allowed to withdraw from the team and fulfill their contract.

The Mystery of The Team Formed

The withdrawal exam is that the members have to miss five penalty kicks without a goalkeeper. All the members take the exam except for Tenma, Tsurugi, Shindou, Matatagi and Ibuki. When the exam starts, it turns out that Kuroiwa assembled spectators and news reporters to watch their performance. Tetsukado is the first one and he fails to shoot four times. However, after hearing the encouragements from the crowd and remembering what his mentor in boxing told him, he decides to stay in the team and makes a shoot into the goal. The other members become motivated after seeing his shoot. In the end, everyone decides to stay in the team.

Inazuma Japan Withdrawal Test!

The match between Inazuma Japan and Big Waves is about to start. Inazuma Japan easily obtains a one-point lead with Tsurugi's Bicycle Sword.

Big Waves reveals their tactics, Suck Out and continuously obtains the ball, breaking through Inazuma Japan's tactic Kami no Takuto. Big Waves obtains a lead of 2-1 and tries for the third goal, but Ibuki manages to pull out Wild Dunk, saving the goal. Will Inazuma Japan be able to even the score, let alone win?

An Enemy Within The Team!

The match between Big Waves and Inazuma Japan continues. Sakura, who still tries to prove her ability to her parents, continues doing her solo-playing but fails after a few attempts. She doesn't want to look bad in front of them anymore, so she purposely bumps on Konoha, pretending that her leg is hurt. Her position gets changed, and she becomes a defender. Inazuma Japan ties the score thanks to Matatagi's new hisasstu, Parkour Attack. Sakura finally comes back to her senses and gets over her fear of failure thanks to Tenma's encouragment. She tries to break through Suck Out with Shindou's Kami no Takuto but fails. She doesn't lose hope and tries again with Kami no Takuto FI and successfully passes the Big Waves players. She then passes the ball to Manabe who scores an unintentional goal with a slip. The match ends with Inazuma Japan winning the match by a score of 3-2.

Let’s Play Fun Soccer!

The members of Inazuma Japan are all training together and most of the members have improved. The next day, they are told that their next opponent is Saudi Arabia's representative Shamshir. Kuroiwa tells everyone that there will be no training so each member trains in his or her own way. Kusaka gets caught by the police because he got involved in a gang fight but is released thanks to Kuroiwa. After he comes back, Manabe and Minaho tell the other members about Kusaka's background. The next day, as the match between Inazuma Japan and Shamshir starts, Kusaka notices his childhood friend, Kanda Satoko, is in the audience. The match begins and Inazuma instantly loses a point.

The team has started to get a lot of progesses. However, Konoha loses her confidence of staying in Inazuma Japan and leaves the training camp. Tenma, Kusaka and Aoi go searching for her and end up finding her at the zoo playing with a rabbit. At the training camp, Manabe and Minaho are looking through the data of the teams they have faced and find out that the data of each member has increased drastically compares to the data before the tournament. Meanwhile, Tenma talks to Konoha and she tells him about her sad past. Kusaka suddenly comes in the conversation and his words have offended her when he said that she is 'irritating'.

At the end of the episode, Potomuri and Kuroiwa are talking together and it is revealed that FFIV2 has a secret.

I Hate Myself

Kusaka feels guilty of saying to Konoha that she is irritating and tries to apolgize with the help of his teammates but fails. What's worse of all is that she now keeps avoiding him whenever he approaches her. Manabe and Minaho then think of a plan by making a situation where the two are alone so they can talk, but they also miserably fail.  The day of the match against Mach Tiger has came and started. However, Inazuma Japan loses a goal to Mach Tiger because the team was focusing on offense which left the defense in weak spot.

Manabe is disturbed by his parents' arrival in the stadium and can't find a way to stop Mach Tiger's players from attacking, but Minaho gives him advice to do so. He also tells Manabe about his childhood and his deceased father. They both use hissatsus, Defense Houteishiki belonging to Manabe and Trace Press belonging to Minaho, and allow Shinsei Inazuma Japan to make a counter-attack.

Assault! Resistance Japan!!!

Inazuma Japan, excluding Tenma, Shindou and Tsurugi don't attend the practice but focus on their training in the Black Room.

The Warriors of the Water Star!

As Earth Eleven discussed about how Sazanaara's citizens were able to predict their moves, Mizukawa told them that they could "see" other peoples' hearts. This fact shocked the team, especially Matatagi. In Sazanaara Eleven's clubroom, Powai Pichori had a talk with Van Tareru about Matatagi.

Even though they managed to score more goals and get even, Ozrock scored another goal with his soul.

Storm Tornado Hurricane!

The match between Earth Eleven and Ixal Fleet ended with Earth Eleven winning with a score of 8-7. The last goal was scored by Matsukaze Tenma, Shindou Takuto, and Tsurugi Kyousuke using The Earth ∞.
