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.
It was as if it was Aoi-kun
 who'd chosen that path.
.بدا وكأن أوي-كن من اختار ذلك المسار
Es como si Aoi
hubiera escogido ese camino.
Es como si Aoi
hubiera escogido ese camino.
È come se Aoi stesso gliel'avesse fatta passare lì!
É como se o Aoi-kun fizesse 
ele passar a bola ali.
Впечатление, будто он заставил
отправить мяч туда!
