Great departures

Synopsis

Roberto's letter reads: 'You'll become a fine player even staying in Japan,' with practice methods crammed throughout. Tsubasa contemplates while reading. Separation time approaches for Nankatsu SC members. Misaki must transfer. For middle school, many teammates will separate, so with Aneko and Ishizaki's proposal, they hold farewell soccer—Nankatsu SC versus Shucetsu SC, truly their final match. Smiling as they fight, hidden in each teammate's chest are their individual decisions. Wakabayashi goes to West Germany with coach Mikami. Tsubasa and Hyuga reject Toho's two-person recruitment, deciding on Nankatsu Middle instead. Next morning, Misaki tries leaving quietly, but Nankatsu teammates see him off together. New departures now begin.
