During Tsubasa and everyone's third year in middle school, Nankatsu had many hard fights to defend their title in order to achieve their V3 dream which will also allow Tsubasa to be helped to go to Brazil and become a pro player.īefore the main tournament, in the Shizuoka prefecture qualification round, they had to beat Otomo led by Urabe, the Otomo Quartet, and ace striker Shun Nitta with the Hayabusa Shot.Īfter declarations from Munemasa Katagiri saying that "there is no worthy rival in Japan for Tsubasa", many new strong opponents appear, such as Soda's Azumaichi and his Kamisori Shot.
This year, many Japanese team's objectives were to defeat Tsubasa and Nankatsu in the 16th middle school national tournament.
Due to their inexperience, Nankatsu was a bit weaker than in previous years. Meanwhile, since Tsubasa aims to become Japan's best player, several new talents emerge, and older rivals return once more.įor the third school year, former members of Nankatsu elementary such as Oda, Iwami, Nagano and Nakazato joined the team. For that regard, Kojiro decided to bail his team in order to train once again with his mentor Kozo Kira and regain his older "fierce tiger self" and came back stronger in order to become champion. Kojiro Hyuga meanwhile, has been the runner up the last two years, with Toho losing to Nankatsu in the final match. Thanks to Tsubasa's merits, the team won two national middle school tournaments in a row, with both times defeating Kojiro Hyuga's team, Toho Academy, in the National finals. A year later, he will become Nankatsu's captain (#10) and pivot, and all his former teammates from Nankatsu elementary school, as well as some former member of Shutetsu institute soccer team, namely Mamoru Izawa, Teppei Kisugi, Hajime Taki, Shingo Takasugi and Yuzo Morisaki, also followed him and became regulars as well. Following Roberto's suggestions, he became an offensive midfielder.Īs Tsubasa entered Nankatsu middle school, he soon become a regular in the school soccer club with the number 19 at first.
After Roberto Hongo, Taro Misaki and Genzo Wakabayashi leave Nankatsu (and Japan, for that matter), Tsubasa's focus is into becoming Japan's best player by winning the national tournament three times in a row with Nankatsu middle school team. It's the beginning of the last year of middle school for Sanae Nakazawa, Ryo Ishizaki, Tsubasa Ozora, and the rest of Nankatsu middle school.
