Tsubasa finally awakens from sleep. A doctor tells Tsubasa's mother it's better for him not to play in the final match considering his future, but Tsubasa's determination to play persuades the doctor to allow it. On the day of the match, Nankatsu teammates come to pick him up. "Let's all go to the field together for our last middle school match," they say. Tsubasa is deeply moved by their words.

Meanwhile, Toho School also strengthens their resolve with Hyuga, who has returned as captain, at the center. The galleries greet both teams with thunderous cheers.
