Daichi: What's so fun about...

Daichi: ...Something so easy to do?

Stage.29 Climb Over The Wall!

--Page 2--

Sho: How...

Daichi: You wish to know how an amateur can stop that ball? The direction of your eyes, the tip of your toe and the way you swing your leg...

Daichi: Observing the way you move, I can surmise where you're aiming.

Daichi: You were totally obvious.

Sho[Thought]: Totally obvious?

Sho[Thought]: An amateur like him can stop my kicks?

Sho[Thought]: What am I saying? I was just an amateur until recently.

Sho[Thought]: So when did I start thinking I'm so much better?

Sho[Thought]: I'm so stupid, without thinking, I...

Sho[Thought]: I thought just because I got two points against Katsuro I was suddenly a better player.

[sFX: Eeeekk]

Sho[Thought]: That was just dumb luck. I couldn't do it all the time.

Daichi: ?

--Page 3

Sho[Thought]: While...

Sho[Thought]: In reality, I...

Sho[Thought]: ...Can't even steal a point from...

Sho[Thought]: ...Someone who hasn't played soccer before.

[sFX: Gripp]

[sFX: Runch]

[sFX: Slapp]

Daichi[Thought]: Huhh?

Sho: Again.

--Page 4--

Sho: Will you play another match with me?

Daichi: All right. I will.

Sho: Great. Same time then, three days from now?

Sho: Er...

Sho: I'm Sho Kazamatsuri of class 2-A.

Sho: You're a Josui Junior High student, right?

Daichi: Daichi Fuwa.

Daichi: Class 2-C.

--Page 5--

Shigeki: Where's Sho? Isn't he coming?

Masato: Nah. Once he stopped he completely stopped.

Shigeki: C'mon it's only been two days.

Tatsuya: ...

[sFX: Whoomp]

Sho: Nuts!

Sho: I can't get it to curve right.

Sho[Thought]: And if I can't curve it...

Sho[Thought]: ...Daichi will know how to stop it. And...

[sFX: Thud]

Sho[Thought]: ...so wil Katsuro...

--Page 6--

Sho[Thought]: All I cared about was scoring. I never thought about how I should move or how I should kick.

Sho[Thought]: Katsuro could read our moves before we even kicked the ball. That's why he was always in the right position.

Sho[Thought]: It was only dumb luck that I did something unexpected. That's why I scored against him.

Sho[Thought]: An FW isn't supposed to aim so he gets stopped.

Sho[Thought]: I've got to find a way to kick so my opponent can't read me.

Sho[Thought]: Out front-kick.

Sho[Thought]: Kicking the ball with the instep will counter spin it in the opposite direction. That means the ball will fly opposite to where the leg is facing.

Sho[Thought]: It takes a lot of technical skill, but if I master it I can surprise him!

Sho[Thought]: I've got to do it no matter what.

[sFX: Whoosh]

--Page 7--

Sho: The foot must meet the ball directly in the middle.

Sho: Throwing back the body, the axel leg must relax or the feet will become pigeon-toed.

Sho: The kicking leg's ankle must be fixed firmly, then...

Sho: ...Swing all the way!

[sFX: Whooomp]

[sFX: Boom]

Oyassan: Welcome.

Oyassan: Heh.

--Page 8--

Oyassan: You haven't been here for a while. I thought you might've been dead.

[sFX: Fweeepp]

Souju: No. I'm healthy as ever.

Oyassan: Did it work out well with that good looking teacher?

Souju: She tried to convince me...

[sFX: Sip]

Souju: ...To become a coach.

Oyassan: You turned her down?

Souju: ...

Souju: It was a good opportunity.

Oyassan: Whatever happened in your past, my friend, I know you can't have forsaken soccer.

Oyassan: If you're not honest with how you feel, you'll regret it later.

Cho: Good Evening.

--Page 9--

Oyassan: Ah, Cho what good timing.

oyassan: Do you mind looking after my shop for a bit?

Cho: Oyassan wait!

Oyassan: So, come with me.

Oyassan: There's something I want you to see.

Souju[Thought]: The river bed?

Oyassan: Look there.

Souju: That kid...

Oyassan: ...Every time he encounters a problem he comes here to practice.

Oyassan: When he started, he wasn't very good. No matter what, he never gave up.

Oyassan: God...

Oyassan: ...Gives trails only to those who can overcome them.

--Page 10--

Oyassan: So... ...What about...

Oyassan: ...You?

[sFX: Slump]

Sho[Thought]: My left ankle's hurting.

Sho[Thought]: A lot.

Sho[Thought]: No matter how many times I kick, it doesn't curve well.

Sho[Thought]: What's wrong with me?

Sho[Thought]: Why can't...

Sho[Thought]: ...I do it right?

Sho[Thought]: Maybe it's wrong for someone like me to fream of becoming a real soccer player.

--Page 11--

Masato: I knew you'd be here.

Sho: Huh?

Sho: Everyone?

Sho: How?

Masato: Tatsuya said you couldn't be sitting still at home.

--Page 12--

Sho: Sorry.

Tatsuya: It's okay. Show me your leg!

Tatsuya: Tape it firmly. It won't hurt as much.

[sFX: Skrootch]

Sho: Thanks.

Yusuke: We brought some juice and taiyaki.

Yusuke: Who's up for a break?

Masato: Sounds good.

Josui Player: I want the cheese taiyaki.

Josui Player: You have one with cream?

Josui Player: I'll take the tuna with mayonaise.

Josui Player: Who's got the red beans?

Masato: Shige, don't take away my taiyaki.

[sFX: Fwish]

Tatsuya: Y'know that game the other day...

--Page 13--

Tatsuya: While we were playing it, it was incredibly hard and I was desperate...

Tatsuya: ...But it was fun, wasn't it?

Yusuke: Even though we didn't win.

Masato: Someday, I hope to taste the joy of victory.

Tatsuya: We will taste it. Trust me.

Tatsuya: But to achieve victory we've got to work hard.

[sFX: Fap]

Sho: Going already?

Shigeki: Oh. We just game by to bother you.

Shigeki: Just anted to see you. That's all.

--Page 14--

Masato: You're...

Tatsuya: ...Someone who doesn't stop until you succeed.

Sho[Thought]: He believes in me?

Sho[Thought]: They all do?

Sho[Thought]: Once I started to play soccer...

Sho[Thought]: ...I made friends.

Sho[Thought]: I practiced until I could play in a match as a regular, not a substitute.

Sho[Thought]: Each wall I climb over leads to the next. Just like it's supposed to.

--Page 15--

Sho[Thought]: The next...

sho[Thought]: If I can't win against Daichi...

--Page 16--

[sFX: Thunk]

Sho[Thought]: ...I won't win against Katsuro!

[sFX: Bamm]

Daichi: No matter how many times you try, it's always the same give up.

Sho: Unless you try, you never know if that's true.

--Page 17--

Daichi[Thought]: The eyes are looking left.

Daichi[Thought]: but his leg is kicking the ball from the outside towards inside.

Daichi[Thought]: The left is a feign.

Daichi[Thought]: It went right.

[sFX: Whoomp]

[sFX: Thunk]

Daichi: !

--Page 18--

[sFX: Whiiipppp]

[sFX: Whamm]

Daichi: It curved?!

Daichi: Fascinating. He made the ball counterspin!

Sho: It...curved.

Sho: I did it!

Sho: Out front kick!!

--Page 19--

[sFX: Krakkk]

[sFX: Ochh!]

Daichi: Another match.

Sho: Finally having fun?

Daichi: Don't assume I'm only observing!

Sho: Daichi, this is really bothering you.

Daichi: I do not get bothered.

[sFX: Ha Ha Ha Ha]

Daichi: Do not laugh!

Souju[Thought]: God gives trials to only those who can overcome them, huh?
