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.
To make the team stronger,
Genzo sacrificed himself
Genzo hat sich für die Mannschaft geopfert
Genzo sacrificó
su puesto en el campeonato

per rafforzare la squadra,
Pelo bem do time,
Genzo sacrificou sua posição
