[] When Tsukiyama was young, he knew of a kid who liked to say "Life request". He often said "This is my life's request, please lend me 10 yen!" kind of things, but that was only because he wanted to buy ice, and happened to be short of 10 yen. Now that I think back, his life is really cheap...

#90 Final Feint

---page 7---

---page 8---

[] Goaaaaal!
[] It's decided! Remaining time is 4 minutes!

[] Purebred Striker - Aizawa Kakeru has decided it at last!

---page 9---

[] 2-1!

[] Reversal Go-al!

---page 10---

[] Even so, the best part is what led to the reversal goal,
[] that phenomenal feint!

[] After the match the other day, I investigated the truth of // the "Disappearing Feint" that created a decisive chance.

[] That's right, it's the former Japan representative, who played Forward in the previous J League match against Holland,
[] "Lefty Monster" Ogura Takafumi's specialty, a miracle heel feint named the "Ogu Feint".

[] That is the move Aizawa used on a 1-on-1 against Hibino when
[] Hibino rushed out after Aizawa received a pass on the right side of the goal. // At that moment, Aizawa made a gesture as though he was looking at the ball as his feet...

[] which captured Hibino's gaze!

[] However, the ball was already no longer there,

[] but was kicked by the heel moving forward,
[] and pushed by Hibino's back!

---page 11---

[] From Hibino's eyes, the ball must've seemed to have completely disappeared.

[] As Hibino spaces out from losing sight of the ball, Aizawa quickly passes him. // When the ball that sneaked past returns to Aizawa's feet, the goalkeeper is the only opponent left!
[] After that, all's left is to observe the goalkeeper's movements calmly and score.

[] It truly is fantastic soccer from Enoshima High,
[] especially the super play shown by Aizawa!

[] The defender is sandwiched between the ball and the player that were separated,
[] and the trick move that reappeared looks like the Greek letter "Φ phi",

[] hence I would like to call this the "Φ Phi trick"!
T/N: I'm pretty sure we preferred it to be called the Phantom Feint. It actually sounds cooler.

---page 12---

"" Nice one Yamanashi!
"" Enoshima High's Furutachi-!
"" Phi trick! Aizawa's amazzzzzing!

"" Che! Looks like your time to shine!
"" Aha, I did it!

(All the small black bolded text reads *pant* for the next few panels)

---page 13---

"" Hibino! It's kickoff, there's still 5min if we include injury time.
"" They scored 2 points with 10 minutes remaining, there's no reason we can't do it too!
"" Got it!

"" Attack! // Let's show them that we're not all about defense!
"" Yeah!

"" Yosh, there's still 5 minutes left! Let's go finish things!
"" Yeah!

"" Don't be complacent! Keep the intention of getting even 1 more point, // attacking is the best defense!
"" Got it!

---page 14---

[] You're an amazing fellow.
[] I always knew that
[] you were not just Suguru-san's little brother.

[] I knew that my rival is you...
[] all along...

"" Hibino!
[] That's right...

[] I wanted to clash with you once more like that time,
[] that's why I Came back!

[] Shounan University Affiliated's movements have changed!
[] Everyone, including the "Four Arrows", have begun moving forward and to participate in the offense!

---page 15---

"" Hibino!
"" Damn.

"" Uoooooo!
"" I won't let it end like this!

[] The fast running defender who has successfully sealed off Matoba's dribble on the right side the entire match...
[] one of the "Four Arrows", Nishio Daisaku dribbles forward!

"" I won't let you go!
[] What the, it's Matoba! Winger Matoba, who rarely participates in defense, is // marking Nishio like he wants to settle the debt of being sealed off!

"" Damn!

[] The long ball of desperation is...

[] Tsukumo seems to be hanging on to it, but as expected, he can't catch up to it...

---page 16---

"" Why this---!

[] He stopped it-! How swiftfooted! // The ball that was going to become a goal kick no matter how you see it was barely stopped a few meters before the end line!

"" Why this!
"" Urya!!

[] It's a cross!
[] And the defenders and midfielders of both teams regardless are running after this ball!

---page 17---

[] Truly an all-out war! And...now, 35 minutes has passed on my watch!
[] Injury time is 1 minute!

[] Is Enoshima High getting away with it?!

[] Or is Shounan University Affiliated going to catch up?!

[] Shounan University Affiliated is attacking fiercely without caring for appearances!

[] Outperform us, Enoshima High Eleven!

---page 18---

[] The best 8 is right in front of our eyes!

"" Crap!

"" Damn it!

[] Oh, Honda fell!
[] The tenacity of Shounan University Affiliated's entire team's offense is stopped for now by Sawamura's foul!

"" Sorry.
"" Don't mind, Sawamura-san. // There's no choice but to let him fall in the area.
"" Yeah, but still.

---page 19---

[] Now...it's Hibino's turn! It's probably Shounan University Affiliated's last chance to attack in this match.
[] Is the Canon Freekick going to go in?!

"" Let's settle this.

"" Everybody form a wall! It's going to be time up after we block this!

"" Aizawa, move slightly right.
"" Araki and Oda, care more about your surroundings than the wall!

"" ...

[] Now, it's probably Shounan University Affiliated's last chance.
[] Is Hibino's Canon gonna explode?

---page 20---

[] Or, is Enoshima High going to pull through and win...?!

"" Why...

"" It's coming!

"" you...

"" ...!!

---page 21---

"" bastardsssssssssssss!!!

"" What?!

[] We were wrong!

[] It's a ground crawling ball!

---page 22---

"" Da...mn...itttttt!

[] It exited underneath the wall...
"" Equalize!

---page 23---

[] It was stopped!

[] Lee Akitoshi's super save by jumping right horizontally! The rebounded ball is...

[] cleared by Oda!

---page 24---

(Yay nothing to tl here)

---page 25---

[] And the long whistle echos across--!

"" ...

---page 26---

"" We did it---!
[] The match ends--!

[] 2v1! Re~ver~sal~Vic~tory--!!

---page 27---

[] And Enoshima High
