Ashito and others have an unexpected reunion with Nakano and Kaneda, who played alongside him at the tryouts. After failing the tryouts for Esperion, Nakano and Kaneda joined the current top team in the league, Tokyo Musashino Soccer Club Youth, where Tachibana used to play. While Nakano is happy to see Ashito and others, Kaneda blames Ashito for his failing the tryouts.
How the hell talentless shmucks
 like you got into Esperion—
—كيف لغبيّ غير موهوب مثلك أن ينضمّ إلى إسبيريون
Wie sind Loser wie ihr
zu Esperion gekommen?
Unos tontos sin talento
entraron en el Esperion…
Unos mierdas sin talento
entraron en el Esperion…
Pourquoi ils ont pris
des nazes comme vous ?
Come hanno fatto dei buoni a nulla 
come voi a entrare nella Esperion?
Como foi que vocês, que não têm talento nenhum, 
entraram no Esperion—
Какого чёрта вы, бездари,
оказались в «Эсперионе»?!
