It’s Japan versus Italy in the opening game of the tournament, and tensions are running high. Team Japan’s tempers are flared over Italy’s previous comments about how they weren’t worth their time back before the practice match that never was. Still, having been handed the position of captain from Matsuyama, Tsubasa rises to the occasion. Italy may have Tsubasa marked, but he responds with some characteristic fighting spirit.
Is he not thinking of passing
to Hyuga at all?
Er scheint gar nicht an einen Pass
an Hyuga zu denken.
Il ne songe plus
à faire une passe à Hyuga ?
Che non stia minimamente pensando
di passarla a Hyuga?!
Será que ele não vai mesmo
tocar para Hyuga?
