'Captain Tsubasa Rising Sun Finals' chapter 98 Summary
https://kobayashiminoru.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-990.html
The title is "The Mystery Michael Left Behind." The cover shows a tearful Michael and Tsubasa looking at his left hand in bewilderment. The tagline reads, "Michael and Tsubasa. The century's penalty shootout showdown, decided!!" It's written as if the match is already over.
The stadium erupts in cheers. It's depicted in a way that makes it unclear whether it's booing or cheering.
"Are you alright, Michael?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Tsubasa extends his hand.
Tsubasa extends his hand smoothly.
He grabs it.
"Can you stand?"
"Yes."
Michael grabs his hand and helps himself to his feet.
"Thank you, Tsubasa-kun."
Tsubasa-kun and Michael-kun praise each other.
"I want to play against you again somewhere, this time when you're both in top condition! Because playing against you was really... really fun."
"Yeah. That's right. I'll return those words to you. Playing soccer with you was really... really... incredibly fun! I hope we can meet again somewhere..."
"I'm sure we'll meet again."
They both spoke as if the match was already decided. Are you saying that it doesn't matter whether Caliulias is there or not, you two!?
They congratulated each other and hugged, even though the penalty shootout wasn't over yet.
The stadium erupted in thunderous applause, regardless of whether they were friend or foe. The Japanese team, the Spanish team, and even Sanae-chan, floating in the air, watched over the two of them.
"Tsubasa-kun, you should go back."
"Huh!?"
"You might not believe me, but I have a kind of sixth sense that's different from other people. That's why I know. I can see and feel." Was Michael-kun the cause of the priest and Sanae-chan's transformation into mass? I don't know if a sixth sense can do something like that. Perhaps in the long history of Captain Tsubasa, there might have been someone else who was involved in a match in a similar way.
For example, the ball floating during the Drive Over Kick in the match against Germany might have been because Tsubasa's old dog jumped and changed its trajectory.
"Huh?"
"You should go back right now. I think you're the only one who can truly bring her back."
"Huh!?"
How many times are you going to say "huh"? Tsubasa doesn't seem to get it at all. Michael's explanation is also far too vague. Don't you want to help her?
The Spanish players greet Michael.
The Spanish players tell Michael not to worry when he apologizes. They shower him with support, saying it's understandable if the shot didn't go in.
Bruno tries to carry Michael on his back, telling him to rest. Michael refuses, but Bruno, acting on the captain's orders, forcibly carries him on his back.
Seeing this, the stadium erupts in thunderous applause and chants of "Michael!"
In her hospital room, Serena is moved to tears, saying, "Even though he missed the penalty kick... my nephew Michael... has grown into such a beloved person." While she had a somewhat cynical air about her when she first appeared, Serena seems completely purified now.
"Michael... coming back...? Bringing her back...? What does that mean...?"
Tsubasa, as usual, shows no sign of noticing anything. Sanae is still levitating in the air.
PS
So, only Tsubasa could bring Sanae back, anyway, after the match, maybe, Tsubasa, will understand.
I have a sixth sense too, not just Michael.
