Synopsis
Tsubasa needs one more point desperately. Easily breaking through Meiwa's defense, only Wakashimazu remains. Approaching shooting position, Tsubasa fakes but feints around Wakashimazu. No one blocks the path now. Summoning final strength, the shot—scored! Four to two, Nankatsu SC wins the championship representing Shizuoka Prefecture! Thunderous applause erupts. A deadly fight ends. Post-match, both teams acknowledge each other's play in sportsmanship. Tsubasa celebrates the championship flag but Roberto is nowhere seen. His mother searches the hotel finding it empty—only a book and letter remain. Roberto has returned to Brazil, leaving Tsubasa behind.
