01x09 - Awakening

Post by bunniefuu »

REO Nice goal, Nagi! Just like I envisioned it!

NAGI Reo, can I play hooky now?

REO Not yet. Five more goals, then you can.

NAGI Aw. How about four?

What was that goal just now?

A super long pass from over his shoulder?

Not to mention, the topspin on it and how it dropped like a stone.

Controlling that ball on the run is difficult enough in itself.

But he also had a defender on either side of him.

If his control wasn't pinpoint, they could've stolen it off him at any time.

But he plucked it out of the air without breaking stride.

So many high-level techniques were packed into that one moment.

That's the top-ranked player in Building ...

Nagi Seishiro.

NAGI Five more goals?

NAGI What a hassle.

This is the monster we're up against?

NARUHAYA What the heck was that?

IGARASHI Pure luck.

IGARASHI It's only one goal.

IGARASHI It's time for us to att*ck! Amen!

RAICHI We gotta do this.

That's right. We have to stick to what we know.

ISAGI Kunigami!

KUNIGAMI Right.

KUNIGAMI If I can get the ball there...

KUNIGAMI Ten more meters.

KUNIGAMI Six... Three...

REO You're still not in sh**ting range, are you...

REO Kunigami Gains-kun?

nd

KUNIGAMI Hold it! I won't let you!

KUNIGAMI He's good at holding onto it.

REO Ready for another, Nagi?

ISAGI The same play as before?

ISAGI Stop him, Raichi and Igaguri!

IGARASHI I'll go press him!

RAICHI That trick won't work a second time!

IGARASHI It popped up! This is our chance!

RAICHI Seriously?

IMAMURA Wh-What the hell was that?

IMAMURA That was no joke.

st

NARUHAYA This is bad. It's already - !

NARUHAYA Our plan won't work now!

Is there a way out of this?

RAICHI Hey, Kunigami!

RAICHI Why'd ya let him take the ball?

RAICHI Ya should've scored! If the front line ain't doin' its job, we can't win!

KUNIGAMI Shut up.

KUNIGAMI Do your job and defend.

ISAGI Enough!

ISAGI If we lose this game, we're done. We just need to play our best so we can win!

IGARASHI H-He's right! We can't give up!

IGARASHI Amen! Never give up!

IGARASHI Amen up!

We still have one w*apon left.

ISAGI Go, Chigiri!

CHIGIRI Right!

TEAM V The flank! Get the ball!

CHIGIRI I will turn the tables with these legs of mine!

CHIGIRI This guy...

CHIGIRI He's fast!

Someone was faster than Chigiri?

REO Nice, Zantetsu!

ISAGI I'll go to him! He's gonna pass to Nagi!

NARUHAYA Damn it! I'll drop back, too!

REO In that case...

REO Go on, Zantetsu.

REO This is your territory, right?

Oh, crap. We put too many people on Nagi and left that guy free.

ISAGI Move back up, Naruhaya!

ZANTETSU Yeah, this is my territory.

ZANTETSU Reo...

ZANTETSU What exactly does "territory" mean?

Team V BL Ranking

rd

Top,REO Wearing fake glasses won't make you smart, y'know.

NAGI Stupid Zantetsu.

IGARASHI We can still do this.

IGARASHI Amen up...

It's a hopeless situation.

Right now, none us believe fighting to win is an option anymore.

BACHIRA I love it.

BACHIRA This is getting fun.

ZANTETSU What's with that guy?

REO No idea.

ISAGI Bachira, what are you talking about?

BACHIRA Huh? I mean, isn't that trio just incredible?

BACHIRA I'm all hyped up!

ISAGI Huh? We're - down! At this rate, we'll never—

BACHIRA Wait, Isagi. Don't tell me you're scared.

BACHIRA Sure, their goals were super special.

BACHIRA But the solution is obvious. We need...

BACHIRA to be super special, too!

ISAGI Wha—

BACHIRA Isagi! Hey, pass!

ISAGI Uh, but they already know our plan—

BACHIRA So we go beyond that.

BACHIRA C'mon, hurry it up or they'll steal it.

BACHIRA If weapons and formulas didn't work when we used them to the max,

BACHIRA then if we manage to score against them, it'll be when we've surpassed our limits, right?

BACHIRA The monster inside me is saying:

BACHIRA "We should be excited, not scared, when we're in a desperate situation."

Bachira...

REO You're interesting.

REO Bring it on, Bachira Meguru!

BACHIRA You got it.

BACHIRA I'll run past you!

REO Wow.

REO Ultra-fast step overs?

REO Feinting left, but you're going right, yeah?

REO A roulette?

REO Zantetsu!

ZANTETSU Oh no you don't, Blunt Bangs.

BACHIRA Speedy Specs.

BACHIRA In that case...

ZANTETSU A lob?

ZANTETSU If we both go for it, I've got the advantage.

ZANTETSU Outside. So he's going left.

ZANTETSU Wait, right?

BACHIRA Zoom!

ZANTETSU An air elástico?!

BACHIRA Hey, it worked! Wow, there's no end to my inspiration!

ZANTETSU My bad! Crazy guy inbound!

BACHIRA Just three more and I'm at the goal!

REO All three of you go tackle him!

BACHIRA I love it.

BACHIRA We're here to become the best striker in the world.

BACHIRA If I can't b*at you, that means I'm only at that level as a striker.

BACHIRA Three more.

Bachira, you're amazing.

You look so happy to be playing soccer.

You're totally right.

If this is going to be the last serious game of my whole soccer career...

BACHIRA Two...

BACHIRA One...

I can leave the despair for when I've lost!

Right now, in order to win, I will...

BACHIRA Boom!

TEAM V Bastard! Don't screw with...

IGARASHI Aw yeah, Bachira!

Top,IMAMURA A rabona?!

NARUHAYA So cool!

BACHIRA Did you see my super special goal?

BACHIRA See? It's getting fun now, right?

Team Z BL Ranking

th

Only plays where we push past our limits will let us score goals!

ZANTETSU They seem to have a sense of, uh... complacency?

REO The word you want is "camaraderie."

NAGI Silly Zantetsu.

REO He's interesting.

REO We'll have to crush him completely.

NAGI Aw, man. Sounds like a hassle.

IGARASHI That was a super special limit-breaking goal!

NARUHAYA That was so cool, Bachira!

IGARASHI I feel like I can break my limits now, too!

KUNIGAMI Surpassing your limits doesn't mean just being reckless.

KUNIGAMI Nice play, Bachira.

IGARASHI Wait, it doesn't?

KUNIGAMI That goal was born out of Bachira's w*apon: his dribbling.

KUNIGAMI Your "limit" means your formula, right?

BACHIRA You're right.

BACHIRA I tried all that stuff 'cause I was inspired, and I just happened to succeed.

KUNIGAMI In short, we have to try new things in this game and evolve, or we'll lose.

BACHIRA Right.

Bachira's play has changed our perspective.

We have minutes left.

What we need to do is evolve our ego!

ISAGI Let's go get one more!

TEAM Z Yeah!

I'll find this evolved formula that works only for me!

REO Just look at them, all hyped up like that.

REO They looked down and out a minute ago.

ZANTETSU Hm? Are you mad, Reo?

REO Not really.

REO It's just, since Nagi and I took up soccer six months ago, our record's spotless,

REO and I don't want a stain on it.

IGARASHI Huh? Six months ago?

BACHIRA Oh, wow. They're definitely monsters!

ISAGI You've got to be kidding.

ISAGI Raichi, man-mark Reo!

RAICHI What? Why the hell should I?!

ISAGI With your physique, we can pincer him!

ISAGI Chigiri and Gagamaru, cover the space that opens up!

ISAGI We need to stop Reo before he sets up Nagi, or they'll do the same thing again!

IEMON We'll go with that!

IEMON Adjust the formation!

RAICHI Damn it.

RAICHI I can't play my sexy soccer in this position.

RAICHI Fine, I'll do it, you bastards!

Top,RAICHI But if we lose, I'll curse your descendants till the end of time!

REO Grudge-bearing types aren't popular with the ladies, Shark Teeth.

RAICHI Can it!

RAICHI I can't let my soccer career end with me being a defender in a game like this!

REO Zantetsu!

ZANTETSU Leave it to me.

ZANTETSU I'll slice open a path to the goal again.

CHIGIRI Oh no you don't!

CHIGIRI It's my turn to crush you.

CHIGIRI The speed king around here is me, Stupid Specs!

ZANTETSU We're not friends, so don't call me stupid...

ZANTETSU slowpoke!

ZANTETSU You ready, Nagi?

CHIGIRI You think I'd stay quiet after you b*at me?

CHIGIRI I touched it, slowpoke!

IEMON Nice, Chigiri! Good job!

IGARASHI The pass went astray!

NARUHAYA Now I can steal the ball!

NARUHAYA What?

NARUHAYA From there ?

IEMON Igaguri?

IGARASHI I stopped it, damn it!

BACHIRA Nice blocking with your face!

REO Bring it, Blunt Bangs.

REO Don't think you can run past me twice.

BACHIRA Yeah, I know.

BACHIRA But this isn't like last time.

BACHIRA I'm not the only one who's fighting now.

BACHIRA Team Z has awakened!

KUNIGAMI Yeah!

Team Z BL Ranking

th

REO Tch.

REO Stop him! Don't let him get within sh**ting range!

KUNIGAMI At meters out, the success rate of my weapon—my mid-range shot—jumps up.

KUNIGAMI Too far out still.

KUNIGAMI I can't score unless I evolve.

KUNIGAMI What do I do? Should I try to dribble past them?

KUNIGAMI No, that's not in my arsenal.

GAGAMARU Pass it to me, Kunigami!

KUNIGAMI What should I do?

KUNIGAMI If this were to be my last game, what would I—

ISAGI Don't be scared, Kunigami! Go for it!

ISAGI You're gonna be a superhero, aren't you?

KUNIGAMI Huh? Wait, yeah, that's right.

KUNIGAMI If I want to evolve, I shouldn't settle for doing something I can already do!

KUNIGAMI No one's pressing me.

KUNIGAMI A sh*t from outside my -meter range.

KUNIGAMI Zeroing in on the sweet spot for a full-power, technical sh*t!

KUNIGAMI If I were a superhero, that's what I'd do!

TEAM V GK A long sh*t from outside his range? But it's dead center.

TEAM V GK If I punch it clear...

TEAM V GK There was no spin?!

KUNIGAMI Take that!

NARUHAYA One more goal and we're tied!

IMAMURA Kunigami's sh*t was totally awesome!

IGARASHI Why didn't you tell us you had such an amazing no-spin mid-range sh*t?

IGARASHI Superhero Gains-kun!

KUNIGAMI No...

KUNIGAMI I just focused on how I made contact with the ball more than usual.

KUNIGAMI And I feel like I experienced a new sensation for scoring.

Top,IGARASHI Still, that was amazing!

IMAMURA So you broke through for real!

There's a formula for scoring that uses your w*apon.

And if you extrapolate it, there's a new sensation for scoring waiting at the end.

Basically, your ego can only evolve as an extension of what you are capable of now.

Then, what's in my arsenal right now?

My spatial awareness? My movement on the field?

How did I manage to score that goal?

If this is to be my last game,

I want to try out a new version of myself!

IEMON Our five-at-the-back formation is working.

IEMON Let's give more than a hundred percent in the second half, too!

IGARASHI Yeah! Whether you like it or not, we only have minutes left!

RAICHI We'll level the match, then score the winner!

RAICHI Do your job, front line!

RAICHI We'll be the ones to win this!

TEAM Z Yeah!

REO We'll be the ones to win this.

REO They're sitting deep, and all they do is counter.

REO We'll change our own tactics in response.

ZANTETSU That redhead...

ZANTETSU He called me stupid, even though he doesn't know me. He's going down.

REO That's the spirit, stupid Zantetsu.

REO There's no way we're gonna lose. Okay, Nagi?

NAGI Sure.



ISAGI Go, Kunigami!

KUNIGAMI Of course they'd press me quicker now.

KUNIGAMI It's obviously reckless to sh**t from here. In that case...

BACHIRA And immediately out to Gagamaru!

th

Top GAGAMARU Where is that going?

Top GAGAMARU Aw, man. I'm too far ahead of it.

GAGAMARU Whatever. I'll sh**t, anyway.

IGARASHI Wow! A scorpion kick!

GAGAMARU All right.

GAGAMARU Huh?

GAGAMARU Where'd you come from? You're defending now?

IGARASHI They've beefed up their defense.

IMAMURA Second ball!

Team Z BL Ranking

th

It's ... No, meters to the goal.

I can make that, just about.

Crap. The path of my sh*t got blocked.

It's no good. This formula won't allow me to score a goal.

KUNIGAMI Isagi, behind you!

RAICHI What are you doing? You suck!

RAICHI Get back!

ISAGI I'm sorry!

What am I lacking? What could I have done?

REO Clear it!

I managed to get in range for a sh*t, but I couldn't sh**t.

ISAGI If my w*apon was dribbling, or a strong physique to hold onto the ball...

ISAGI No, wishing for things I don't have is pointless.

ISAGI A clue to how I can evolve lies somewhere inside of me.

ISAGI I gotta think about what I can and can't do!

ISAGI How do I evolve my w*apon in this limited amount of time?!

NAGI You're totally useless.

NAGI You were so full of yourself, so why didn't you sh**t?

NAGI You're so inefficient.

Nagi Seishiro!

NAGI But I mean, why don't you just give up?

NAGI Why are you still coming at us?

NAGI Are you stupid? I don't get it.

NAGI If my talents were at your level, I would've quit soccer by now.

NAGI So tell me.

NAGI What motivates you so much?

ISAGI Shut up, genius.

ISAGI I'm about to get to the good part!

NAGI What's with that creature?

REO Stay up top, Nagi! We'll hit them on the counter!

RAICHI I'm not letting you go anywhere!

REO Are you my stalker or what?

RAICHI I'll demolish you!

ANRI The match is turning out just as you predicted, Ego-san.

EGO Yeah, it's intense.

EGO Win or lose. Life or death.

EGO Every time that line is crossed, a striker is forced to awaken.

EGO This is what I wanted to see.

EGO Anri-chan, do you know what it means to awaken?

ANRI Huh? Um, is it like going from ordinary to extraordinary, like a Super Sai... Well, that?

EGO Yup, you're way off.

EGO That's a silly analogy made by someone who's never tasted success.

ANRI Sill—

EGO Awakening is like doing a jigsaw puzzle with your accumulated thoughts and experiences.

EGO You're faced with an extreme situation to get the win, and after much trial and error,

EGO that's when the pieces for success all fall into place, and a new ego blooms.

EGO In short, the moment you awaken is the moment you learn who you really are.

Why didn't you sh**t?

You're so inefficient.

"Inefficient"?

I see. I was being inefficient.

That moment I took to think about whether to sh**t...

That lost moment gave them time to block my sh*t.

With my weapon—my spatial awareness— I can get into a good position for a sh*t.

But if I don't sh**t, nothing will happen!

Cut out the waste!

ZANTETSU Reo! Build it up one more time!

REO Tsk. This stalker's really annoying.

RAICHI Hey, what's the matter?

RAICHI Gonna report me to the police?

REO He's been running non-stop.

REO Doesn't he ever get tired?

RAICHI I'll admit that you're good.

RAICHI But I'm starting to see how to stop you.

RAICHI When you receive a pass, the first thing you do is look for Nagi!

REO Tch.

IMAMURA Nice work, Raichi! The pass lanes to Nagi are limited now, so it's easier to defend.

IGARASHI Yup, you don't scare me anymore, genius.

IGARASHI Amen!

IGARASHI You can't do anything unless Reo tells you to.

RAICHI Same goes for you, Reo!

RAICHI Without that genius, you're just a master of none!

REO You bastard.

Top ANRI Team V, Number , Mikage Reo.

RAICHI Go on, get frustrated. One more card and you're off.

RAICHI Go, missy!

th

RAICHI Do your thing!

ZANTETSU Just try it, missy.

ZANTETSU I'm faster.

CHIGIRI Don't call me "missy."

CHIGIRI If I don't outrun him, we can't score.

CHIGIRI Against his center of gravity!

ZANTETSU This way?

CHIGIRI He reacts fast, too.

CHIGIRI I see.

CHIGIRI His w*apon is most likely his expl*sive acceleration.

CHIGIRI He has the advantage when comparing reaction times at this distance.

CHIGIRI I have no chance against him, no matter how many times I try.

CHIGIRI But wait.

CHIGIRI I did get a touch on the ball earlier.

CHIGIRI In that case...

CHIGIRI If one doesn't exist, I should create a situation where I can fully utilize my w*apon!

ZANTETSU There's no one there. Is that a desperate pass?

CHIGIRI Yup. To myself.

ZANTETSU Huh? You're so naïve, missy. I told you...

ZANTETSU I'm faster!

CHIGIRI I know that, Stupid Specs.

CHIGIRI Only initially, though.

ZANTETSU Huh?

EGO An awakening can only happen in extreme situations.

EGO For example, when faced with a formidable foe, the weak crank their skills up to ten...

EGO to create a new formula to win.

CHIGIRI Over ten meters, where initial velocity is everything, I can't b*at him.

CHIGIRI So what I'll do is draw him out to a range where my w*apon is at its most effective!

CHIGIRI Fifty meters in . seconds.

CHIGIRI At top speed on a long sprint, I'm faster!

CHIGIRI Back off, slowpoke.

EGO Thirty minutes until the end of the match.

EGO The best striker in the world is...

EGO the one that can dominate...

EGO this blue frenzy.
