Synopsis
Tsubasa and the team advance toward the dream. Hyuga's absence creates immense pressure. But Hyuga's voice reaches from the bench: "I'll definitely play in the finals!" Tsubasa's teammates feel Hyuga's intensity and determination. Fighting to eliminate the pain, Takeshi's passing creates opportunities. Takeshi's decision judgment—passing instead of shooting—launches Hattori's volley. Not for Hyuga's absence but for Hyuga's presence on the bench, this goal is scored.
