Kumagaya Goro is a goalie for Shirayuri Junior High, a team that hasn't won in three years.

In the quarterfinals of the Inter High prelims, Kawako is forced to play with only ten men after Yakumaru stops coming to practice.

Goro and his team decide they need to focus on improving their strength. They go to Yokonan's Coach Arimoto for help, and after some gentle persuasion, he agrees to put together a training program for Kawako.

It's time for the winter championship again, and a run-in with Buso's Matsuura gets both sides fired-up. Kawako's route through the tournament won't be an easy one, though, as Kagogaku and Shizuichi lie in wait.

Kawako makes it through to the final to face Buso, who they were always fated to meet. Can they get revenge for their defeat at the Inter High?

Kawako and Buso are giving it everything they've got. As the game unfolds, Buso's captain, Tsuno, reflects on the team's troubled past.

Yakumaru and Shingo combine to give Kawako a one-goal lead. But with people getting injured left and right on both teams due to the committed tackles that are flying in, which way will this match turn?

A hard-fought final is really starting to take its toll, with Goro and Matsuura among the walking wounded. As the match nears its conclusion, who will emerge victorious?

After a fierce battle with Otomo of Seyani High in the semifinal, Kawako reach the final, where they play Yokonan again. It's Oda's last chance to see that Yokonan's coach, Arimoto, gets his comeuppance.

One day over summer break, Goro and the team run into Katsuhiko, twin brother of Yokonan's Yoshihiko. What does his arrival at the school mean for Goro?

In the second round of the Inter High, Kawako comes up against the ultra-physical Buso side and struggle to overcome them. Has their championship win made them complacent?

Goro and the Kawako team play Yokonan's fourth team, but all is not as it seems. Even so, Kawako keeps it tight until Yokonan's star player, Kayano, enters the frame.

Yakumaru and Shingo get into a fight with two delinquents who turn out to be on Buso High's soccer team. But why have they never seen these guys before?

Kawako find it tough against Kagoshima Academy, and they go into half-time 1-0 down. Frustrated at how he played in the first half, Yakumaru is determined to get the better of Kagogaku's goalie, Kuki.

Due to his father's career as a pro soccer player ending in ignominy, Fio seems incapable of trusting his own teammates. Will he ever understand the importance of teamwork or simply carry on trying to do everything alone?

In their second year at the championship, Kawako makes steady progress through the tournament. But with heavy rain deluging the field and Katsuhiko appearing to be struggling with a fever in their latest game, is a surprise loss on the cards?
