Episode Title:
Awakening
Episode Description:
Team V goes up 3-0 after Nagi scores another goal using the same pass, and Tsurugi uses his speed while taking advantage of Team Z's attention on Nagi to score from long-range. Realizing that their tactics are not working, Bachira awakens his monstrous self in the thrill of battle to send a message to Team Z to awaken their hidden potential to become super special. Bachira dribbles past Mikage, fakes Tsurugi out, and lobs the ball over Team V's goalkeeper to cut Team V's lead to 3-1, prompting Team Z to follow Bachira's lead to evolve and awaken their hidden abilities. Kunigami scores with a mid-range shot that fools the goalkeeper due to the lack of spin to make the score 3-2 going into halftime. The second half begins with Gagamaru's shot blocked by Tsurugi with Isagi taking the rebound, but his hesitation allows Nagi to take the ball away. Raichi psyches Mikage out leading Mikage to a yellow card for elbowing Raichi. Chigiri takes the free kick, and taking advantage of his superior top speed despite Tsurugi's superior acceleration, he passes the ball to a distant spot on the pitch where only he can get to the ball and ties the score at 3-3 with 30 minutes left in the match.
