As soon as the second half begin, Isamu do offense all by himself but his shoot was blocked. Sael use hissatsu shoot and scored the second goal for Storm Wolf, ended up they in the lead with 2-1. Isamu still felt irritated when someone look down at him.

"In this second half, Storm Wolf have scored their second goal! Inazuma Japan is one point behind Storm Wolf, will they catch up in time?!"

Kaminari: Their captain sure faster than the first half.

Tsukasa: Yeah. What are we going to do about Katsuragi?

Kaminari: Who knows. All we can do now is to play the way we should.

Tsukasa: It's look like that's the only way.

As the whistle blown, Tsukasa pass the ball to Kaminari as they move forward. Kai follow behind them as the players went forward to stop them.

Sael: #9, #10 and #11 is the main attacker! Don't let them get past!

SW Players: Right!

The players are blocking their path as while trying to steal the ball. Kaminari turn around to look for who to pass and saw Kai and Tsukasa already been marked.

"Storm Wolf make an absolute defense! All three of Inazuma Japan's forwards has been marked!"

Kaminari(In mind): Damn it! I couldn't make a pass!

He keep glancing around as he saw Homura. He keeping the ball until he gets the chance and kick the ball toward her.

Homura: I'll get it!

She jumped to get but Isamu appear and grab the ball as he push Homura to the side making her fall as Isamu run ahead.

Homura: Ow! Hey, what was that for?!

Isamu: I'll score the goal!

"Katsuragi use another rough play! Not just Storm Wolf's players, he even shove his teammates away!"

Isamu(In mind): Nee-san is watching! I can't let her down! I'll make sure to win this match!

Kai: Hey, don't forget we're in the same team!

Isamu: Shut up!

He keep going until Roslan and Parva appear in front of him. Parva jumped as Roslan grab his arms and they spins like a cutter.

Roslan/Parva: Rolling Cutter!

They hit Isamu and sent him back away as they gets the ball.

Roslan: Hmph. No matter what you do, nothing will work.

Parva: After all, you're a weakling.

Isamu: You bastard...!

Roslan: There's no way you can win by your own! *kick the ball* Captain!

The ball went right at Sael. He turn around as he and Azel run ahead toward Inazuma Japan's field.

Suiryuu: You won't past!

Azel kick the ball as the background turn into a desert with a sun setting.

Azel: Silk Road!

Suiryuu close his eyes as Azel get past him. He keep running ahead until Haruki went in front of him.

Azel: You won't get this ball!

He kick the ball to the side and Sael grab the ball as he run forward.

Haruki: Crap!

"Sael went ahead again! Will he scored the third goal for Storm Wolf?!"

Nanae: I won't let you!

She tried to steal the ball from Sael but he able to keep the ball and get past her. As he get close, he kick the ball toward the goalpost. Kirishima went forward to grab the ball but it went higher than him.

Kirishima: No way!

The ball gets lower and closer toward the goal.

"Sael makes a suprising loop shoot! Will Inazuma Japan lose another point?!"

Everything went slow motion, until...

Kiba: Arashi!

Kotaro: Yeah!

Kiba rush ahead as he jump and raise both of the feets. Kotaro jumped toward Kiba and connect their feets.

Kiba/Kotaro: Kattobi Defense!

He push Kotaro ahead toward the ball with a boost.

Kotaro: Kaboom!

He do a heading at the ball and sent it out of bound.

Sael: What?!

"Okami and Arashi use their combo hissatsu technique, Kattobi Defense and saved Inazuma Japan from losing another point! What a magnificent defense!"

Kotaro: We did it!

Kiba: Yeah! Those practice does pay off!

Kotaro jumped and high-five with Kiba.

(Inazuma Japan bench)

Riko: Wow...

Asuka: When did they learn that kind of technique?

Kariya: I taught them.

It makes Riko and Asuka turn to Kariya who is smiling.

Riko: Trainer Kariya, you the one that taught them?

Asuka: How did you even know that would work?

Kariya: It because of their height.

Riko/Asuka: Height?

Kariya: That's right. When I was in Raimon soccer team, I and Shinsuke-kun use that technique. Since we have Arashi's jumping ability and Okami's quick reflexes, that hissatsu are fit with them.

Asuka: You were part of Raimon soccer team before? That's amazing!

Kariya: I know that they can master that hissatsu. That is why I taught them.

(Flashback)

Kiba/Kotaro: A new hissatsu technique that only we can use?

Kariya: That's right. It was the hissatsu that I and Shinsuke-kun used the match against Kidokawa Seishuu in our junior high time.

Kiba: But why is this technique is only for us?

Kotaro: Aren't others can use as well?

Kariya: What you guys have is jumping, reflexes and height.

Kiba/Kotaro: *sweatdrop* Height?

Kariya: *look at Kiba* Okami-kun is higher, so which mean... *look at Kotaro* Arashi-kun, you're shorter so it'll makes you the main jumper. Okami-kun can push you to add some boost toward the ball.

Kiba: I see.

Kotaro: A-Adding with my jumping and Okami-san's reflexes, huh? I think that could work!

Kariya: Now, get practice!

Kiba/Kotaro: Yes, sir!

(Flashback Over)

Kariya: I know that could master that move. After all, they like the second me and Shinsuke-kun. Good in defense.

(Field)

Sael: I never thought that they have a hissatsu technique like that.

Nanae talk with Kiba and Kotaro about when they learn that kind of move before. Then the match continues.

"Now it's Storm Wolf's throw-in! How will they attack from here?!"

Roslan look around as he about to throw. Then he saw Sael run toward the defense area and do a long throw as the ball reach him.

Nanae: Long throw?!

Sael: Our third goal!

He run toward the goal. He hold the ball with his legs and jumped as he spins. He kick the ball into the ground and it moves around in the ground as it burst out engulf in golden energy and some gold around it as he kick the ball.

Sael: Gold Fever!

The ball dash toward the goalpost.

Kirishima: I definitely block it!

He raise his right leg and slam down as he punch forward as a huge spinning fist appear. The fist shines even brighter.

Kirishima: Seigi no Tekken!

The fist hits the ball and punch it away, sending it far from the goalpost.

Sael: What?!

Kirishima: All right!

"He blocked it! Goalkeeper Akai finally blocked the shoot! Sael didn't score the third point for Storm Wolf!"

Sael: It's not over yet! The ball is still loose, get it!

The players run to get the ball but Kaminari quickly jumped ahead of them and grab the ball.

"Inazuma Japan's Captain Endou quickly gets the ball before Storm Wolf could get it! This is the perfect chance for Inazuma Japan!"

Kaminari: Now guys, it's time for counterattack!

IJ Players: Yeah!

All of them, except for Kotaro and Kirishima move up.

"What is this?! All Inazuma Japan players, except their defender Arashi and goalkeeper Akai, move up all at the same time!!"

Azel: They doing a full attack on us?!

Vartov: Don't let them get close!

Players from both teams are doing offense and defense.

"This is turn into an amazing match! Inazuma Japan is in offense, and Storm Wolf is in defense! Both team doesn't giving up at all!!"

Kaminari: Kazami!

Haruki: Kami no Takuto: Fire Illusion!

He wave his hands around to lead Inazuma Japan players.

Haruki: Homura-san, run!

Homura: Right!

She run at where Haruki point.

Haruki: Suiryuu!

Suiryuu: Okay!

Homura pass the ball to Suiryuu as he jumped. He turn forward and run ahead.

Haruki: Pass the ball to Captain!

Suiryuu: Right!

He kick the ball right toward Kaminari. He, Kai and Tsukasa keep moving forward as they get past some players.

Sael: Don't let them shoot!

One player marked on Kaminari, Kai and Tsukasa, not allowing them to shoot.

"Storm Wolf makes an absolute defense! Endou, Yoshi or either Kishibe couldn't make a pass or shoot!"

Parva: Heh. You couldn't make a shoot from here.

Kaminari: *smirk* Unfortunately, you guys...

He glance back and saw both Nanae and Kiba already far up. Kai and Tsukasa smirked as they nod at Kaminari.

Kaminari: *back pass* Marked the wrong person!

The ball went right toward Kiba as he and Nanae keep moving ahead with none of the Storm Wolf players marked on them.

Roslan: They already move this far?!

"Inazuma Japan's Yukimura and Okami already far up! No one marked them!"

Nanae: Let's do this, Kiba-kun!

Kiba: Yeah!

The ball went at the center of them as Nanae and Kiba run toward the ball. They jumped and spins the ball with their leg causing a strong blizzard gather around the ball and it covered in blizzard orb. Both of them jumped and kick the ball at the same time.

Nanae/Kiba: Eternal Blizzard Double Storm!

The ball burst toward the goalpost. Yorga couldn't react due the ball move way too fast and went in before he can act.

Yorga: What?!

"Goal!! Yukimura and Okami's new combo hissatsu shoot soars! Inazuma Japan scored their second goal! They ties the scores!"

(Inazuma Japan) 2 - 2 (Storm Wolf)

Even Storm Wolf players were suprised that they can do a shoot like that.

Parva: I never defenders can shoot like that...

Kiba: Sorry, we're not just defenders.

Parva: *turn around* What?

Nanae: *cute face* We're libero.

Both of them went back to their field, leaving the players suprised and confused.

Yorga: Libero, huh? Well, we should be expecting something like that.

Vartov: Inazuma Japan's shoot is more than just power, the speed is high as well.

Sael: Now that they've tied the score, we can't lower our guard.

They all look at their captain.

Sael: We'll win this match no matter what. Still... I'm still not agree with the provocation. If you guys keep that up, you'll ended up paying the price.

They all went back to their positions.

"Now, the match resumes with Storm Wolf's kickoff! The scores are tied with 2-2, which team will scored the third point?!"

Azel pass the ball to Sael as they run forward.

Kaminari: Tighten the defense! They'll be attacking with all they've got!

IJ Players: Yeah!

But all the sudden, Isamu rush ahead and steals the ball from Sael as he run ahead.

"Oh my! Katsuragi quickly steals the ball from Sael and run ahead all by himself!"

Kai: Katsuragi!

Tsukasa: What are you doing?! Listen to Endou!

Isamu: Shut up! I'll score the goal by himself!

Kaminari(In mind): That guy...

Isamu keep doing offense and stealing the ball all by himself even thought others tries to help him.

"Katsuragi still playing all by himself without the help of his teammates! What kind of solo play is he planned?!"

As Isamu get closer to the defense area, Vartov do a sliding as he steals the ball and hit Isamu's leg on purpose, making him fall down as the ball went out of bound.

"Vartov steal back the ball! Katsuragi didn't get his chance on shooting!"

Isamu: *hold his left leg* You bastard...

Vartov: Heh. I knew that you're weak, but not this weak.

Isamu: What?

Vartov: *walk away* Player like you don't deserve to stand on this field.

Isamu: What?! Ack!

(Inazuma Japan bench)

Kaminari and Tsukasa help Isamu get to the bench. Riko put a pack of ice on his left leg.

Hakuryuu: Katsuragi, you rest for a while.

Isamu: What? I need to play!

Hakuryuu: If you continue to play in that condition, you'll end up be a burden to the team.

Isamu: Coach! *turn to Kaminari* Hey, say something, Captain!

Kaminari: I agree with Coach.

Isamu: You too?! Why didn't you let me play?! I must be playing!

Kaminari: Katsuragi, let me ask you this one thing... Why did you play soccer?

Isamu: Why did I play soccer...?

Kaminari: Think about that while you're resting. *walk to the field* Let's go.

Tsukasa: Right.

(Field)

"The match continues with the throw-in! What is this? Inazuma Japan is playing with only ten players! Katsuragi is benched!"

Azel: They play with only ten players?

Vartov: Are they mocking us?

Sael: Even if they have ten players, there's no reason for us to lower our guard.

Azel: Yeah. The winner will be us.

Parva throw the ball into the field as Roslan grab it and kick it away. Azel jumped and grab the ball as he run forward. He and Sael keep running ahead as they keep dodging Inazuma Japan's players.

"Passing between Azel and Sael are connected! Inazuma Japan is having problem with defense with only ten players!"

Isamu keep watching his teammates playing with everything they got.

Homura: You won't past me!

Azel: Heh, too easy!

He kick the ball forward as the background change into a desert with setting sun.

Azel: Silk Road!

Homura close her eyes with the brightness as Azel get past her. As Kiba went in front of Azel, he pass the ball upward.

Kiba: He kick it up?!

The ball went right at Sael. He hold the ball with his legs and jumped as he spins and kick the ball into the ground. The ball move in the ground and burst out in golden energy with some gold around it as Sael kick the ball.

Sael: Gold Fever!

The ball burst even faster than before.

Kirishima(In mind): If I lose here, everything will over!

He clench his fist.

Kirishima: Like hell I let it end here!

It makes Isamu snapped. Kirishima raise his right leg and slam down as he punch forward as a huge spinning fist appear.

Kirishima: Seigi no Tekken!

The fist hits the ball. After a moment, the fist punch the ball away.

Sael: What?!

"Goalkeeper Akai magnificently stopped the ball! He saved Inazuma Japan from losing a point!"

Kirishima: As long as I'm here, I'm letting any shoot gets in!

The ball went right at Suiryuu.

Suiryuu: Guys, let's turn this match around!

IJ Players: Yeah!

(Inazuma Japan bench)

Isamu: Why did I play soccer... huh?

Hakuryuu: So, you finally know what it should be.

It makes the Isamu and the managers look at Hakuryuu while Kariya just glance.

Hakuryuu: Soccer isn't something you play by yourself. It's something you should play with everyone.

Isamu: Everyone...

Hakuryuu: Even with less player, our team keep playing with everything they've got along with everyone. That is soccer. Now, why did you play soccer?

Isamu(In mind): *look down* The reason... The reason I play soccer is because...

(Flashback)

At Amano Mikado Stadium...

"The final of Soccer Festival! Gassan Kunimitsu against Zeus Jr. High! With not much time left, the scores is still tied with 3-3! Which of this team will win this year's Soccer Festival?!"

It shows the time when Hanabi still in her second year. She and her teammates move ahead toward the opposite field. Isamu watch from the stand while cheering for them. One of Gassan forwards pass the ball to Hanabi as she close to the goalpost.

"Gassan Kunimitsu's ace striker Katsuragi Hanabi is at the perfect area!"

Hanabi do some slash kick at the ball causing it to engulf in red energy. She kick the ball toward the goalpost. It start lose power at the last minute but Zeus's goalkeeper couldn't grab it and the ball went in.

"Goal!! Katsuragi scored the fourth goal for Gassan Kunimitsu!"

The whistle was blown and the match is over. Gassan Kunimitsu cheering for their win and congratulate Hanabi for doing the finishing goal.

"The match is over! The winner of this year's Soccer Festival is... Gassan Kunimitsu!"

After the winning announcement, Isamu wait at the entrance gate. As Gassan soccer team come out, Isamu went to see them.

Isamu: Nee-san!

Hanabi: Oh, Isamu!

Isamu: The match today is amazing! You make that amazing shoot!

Hanabi: Well, that shoot is not really complete. Our win today can be said as luck.

Isamu: When I join the soccer club, I'll help you complete it!

Hanabi: Sure! When the time comes, you'll use that shoot, okay?

Isamu: Really?! Hooray!

(Flashback Over)

Isamu look at the field that all of his teammates are doing their best in the match despite not having him in the field. All of them are giving all they've got in order to win. Storm Wolf keep attacking while Inazuma Japan stick with defense. He look at his left feet and stump twice feeling no pain in his leg anymore. The ball went out of bound as Isamu stand up.

Isamu: Coach, my left leg feels better now. Let me play.

Hakuryuu: Do as you please.

Isamu: Thank you, Coach.

(Field)

"The match continues with Inazuma Japan's throw-in! With Katsuragi's leg is better, he rejoin the team in the match! Will his reappearance, will Inazuma Japan gets better?!"

Isamu: Sorry for waiting.

Kaminari: We're not waiting for a long time, though.

Tsukasa: Can we trust you not to use rough play?

Isamu: I'll play with my usual play.

Suiryuu glance around to see who to pass. He saw Haruki close by and throw the ball to him.

Homura: Over here!

Haruki: *kick the ball* Okay!

The ball went all the way from the right to the left side where Homura is. She jumped and grab it. She turn to go ahead but get blocked by two Storm Wolf players.

Homura(In mind): Damn it! I couldn't attack like this!

She keep looking around until she saw Isamu not far from her. Isamu nod as she hesitately nod as well. She take the chance and kick the ball toward him. Isamu grab the ball and rush ahead.

"Gouenji pass the ball to Katsuragi! Will play all by himself again?!"

Roslan: Someone weak like you should stay at the bench!

Parva: We'll finish you!

He jumped as Roslan grab his arms and they spinning like a cutter.

Roslan/Parva: Rolling Cutter!

Before he gets hit, Isamu jumped to the side and dodge them.

Roslan/Parva: What?!

"Oh my! Katsuragi able to dodge the hissatsu technique!"

Vartov: That's impossible!

Two defenders marked on him as he jumped. Isamu turn to the side and kick the ball toward Kai. Kai grab it as he rush forward.

Vartov: Don't get cocky!

Kai: Heh, too easy.

He grab the ball with his legs and jumped as he do some acrobatic stunt while keeping the ball.

Kai: Acrobat Keep!

He land next to Vartov and run forward.

"What a magnificent keeping power! Yoshi get past the defense line! With only few minutes left, will this end with a draw?!"

Kai(In mind): I couldn't make a shoot from this side, then...!

He kick the ball to the side. The defenders tries to grab the ball but Isamu appear out of nowhere and grab the ball.

"Katsuragi takes the ball! He's right in front of Storm Wolf's goalpost!"

Yorga: I'll stop it!

Isamu shout as the ball floats and the background turn dark. His right leg shines in red energy as do slash kick one by one at the ball and do more kick really fast making the ball engulf in red raging energy.

"Goal!! The one that scored the third goal for Inazuma Japan is Katsuragi Isamu! His new hissatsu shoot burst into Storm Wolf's goal!"

(Inazuma Japan) 3 - 2 (Storm Wolf)

The referee look at his wristwatch as he blow the whistle.

"The match is over! After the intense match between both teams, Inazuma Japan won in the very end!"

It shows Kaminari and Sael shake hands.

Sael: Thank you for the match.

Kaminari: You're okay with that? You guys lose.

Sael: Yeah, it's true that my team lose. But fighting against strong team in an intense match is great for us. Next year, we'll be the winner.

Kaminari: Yeah.

Inazuma Japan players cheering for their win. Kariya just smile while looking at the team while Hakuryuu stand up and leave.

Kariya(In mind): *sigh* Does he even tries to encourage the team at some time...?

(Time Skip)
(Next Day)

At the hospital...

Isamu went to visit his sister again after the match.

Hanabi: I never expected that you able to master that shoot technique! That was suprising!

Isamu: Well, it was your hissatsu shoot. I just completely it.

Hanabi: It's okay. As long as I get to see you play, I'm still happy.

Isamu: Nee-san... By the way... *turn around* What the hell are you guys doing here?!

The whole team came along with Isamu to visit Hanabi.

Kaminari: What's wrong with that?

Tsukasa: Yeah. My team in Kidokawa always went to see Minato-senpai in the hospital before.

Isamu: That's a different thing!

Kai: I can't believe I've come for all of this...

They talk with each other knowing that Hanabi is actually the former ace striker for Gassan Kunimitsu. Hanabi even hit Isamu in the head and make him bow to apologize to Homura due she is the daughter of Gouenji Shuuya, Japan's Youth Soccer Association Chairman. She said that Isamu was lucky that nothing happened because Isamu push Homura to the side. He apologize rapidly to Homura when he remember about that as the others laugh at him.
