Okay now, let's take roll call!
Um, the roster was...
He's a pretty dysfunctional teacher.
But I guess you'd call this a "lucky score."
See, here's the roster.
Time for roll call!
Now then. Ando Ika?
X Eggs and X Characters... Character transformations...
It seems too overwhelming.
Himamori?
Himamori Amu?
Note: As in the previous episode, he continues to call her "free time" Amu.
Hey, Amu. He's calling you.
Is she absent? Himamori?
It's not Hima ! It's Hina-mori!
Sorry, sorry, Himamori.
What's with that teacher?
Himamori.
Himamori!
Isn't this harassment?
But it's funny.
It's not funny!
Scary!
Kukai?
Hey, Hinamori.
You've got free time, eh?
See you!
I do not have free time!
Amu!
Y–You surprised me!
She fell for it again.
If you're free, why don't we watch the soccer team's practice?
Soccer?
Let's go, Amu!
Since you're free, right?
Free!
Y–You guys...
Pass, pass!
This way!
Oh, right. Kukai is also the soccer team captain.
You're late, Souma.
Sorry!
Kukai!
They're energetic.
Oh, my. Amu, are you jealous?
Of course not!
Yamada, switch with me.
Right. I'll join the substitutes.
That pass earlier was great, Yamada.
Better watch your position!
Substitutes?
The starting players wear blue uniforms.
Then, the ones without them are...
They fill in the gaps, I guess.
I feel sorry for them.
Well, that's how it works.
Hey, Hinamori!
The ball, please!
Right.
H–Here I go!
You could just use your hands.
Do it, Amu! Character change!
Substitution!
Yes!
What's with this flashy character?!
Being able to see upperclassman Hinamori's magnificent play here...
I'm so lucky to have stopped by the field. Nice!
Hinamori, you used your character change!
That's dirty!
It wasn't by choice!
But... This feels great!
No wonder they say she single-handedly defeated the entire soccer team.
Upperclassman Hinamori, go, go!
Kukai, let's character change as well.
I won't character change.
I can do this!
For real?
We won't lose!
Neither will we!
Hinamori, here!
Yamada?
Shoot!
Cleared!
Not if I can help it!
What the heck?!
I can't do this!
I caught it!
All right!
Upperclassman Hinamori!
All right!
Man, too good.
Hinamori, nice shot!
Thank you.
I need to practice some more.
Yeah.
We will finally hold our practice match with Seifu Academy tomorrow.
Our opponent is Seifu Academy, so we can't be relaxed.
Just play as you usually do.
Seifu Academy?
You don't know?
It's the most prestigious school for soccer.
Last year, they won all the regional tournaments.
Now then, time to announce the starting players.
Keeper: Hara.
Okay!
Defenders: Ishimori, Kamiyama, Itou, Nakamura.
Midfielders: Takaki, Ouda, Yamamoto.
Right!
Attacking midfielder: Souma.
All right!
Kukai!
And lastly, forwards: Kobayashi, Satou.
That is all.
You were great, Souma.
Of course! I am the captain, after all.
Something wrong, Amu?
Nah.
You getting hungry?
No!
Okay, see you later.
Yeah. Come watch the match tomorrow.
What's with that reaction?!
Just kidding. I'll be there.
Later.
It's Yamada!
He's practicing alone.
He's a hard worker!
How ridiculous. He may not even get to play.
But it's great that he's practicing even when he's not a starter.
Go for it.
Go for it!
Go for it.
Go for it, eh?
Effort alone doesn't mean you'll be rewarded, right?
Thanks for the meal!
They are blessing you!
A genius is definitely blessed by genius guardian angels!
I'm not really a genius.
That guy is cool!
Ami, you shouldn't fall for this type of guy!
Okada Shingo. He's mysterious!
The charismatic musician who automatically wins every award in every category whenever he becomes active!
He is currently the most popular artist!
He's hiding something.
Without a doubt, you have genius guardian angels blessing you!
Genius born from a genius!
Compared to the rest of you...
You are all mediocre.
Even though you have guardian angels, they are also mediocre.
No matter how much effort is put into mediocrity, it will never match a genius.
Well, there's more to it than that...
No matter how much effort is put in, one can't match a genius?
Is that really true?
It is. You're just wasting your effort.
I made all this just for Lord Tadase, a wonderful lunch!
A Saya Special!
When he eats this, even Lord Tadase will...
Oh! Yamabuki, it's delightful!
And then we will embrace.
Lord Tadase!
It's good!
Amazing! You made all of this, Fujisaki?
Yeah, that's right.
Huh?
Are you okay?
Hold it together!
The cooking is perfect!
Right, right!
Caramel!
Yaya, eat the candies later. You'll get fat.
I don't care.
They're starting.
Hey there, Kukai!
Kukai!
Pleased to meet you.
This way!
Souma!
Kukai, fight!
Hey, you! Don't act like you're still in bed!
Give it full power from the start!
Soccer is great.
It's so energizing.
I'm not able to play,
so it doesn't matter whether we win or lose.
It has nothing to do with me.
No matter how much I practiced,
no matter how much effort I put in,
I cannot match a genius.
What am I thinking about?!
Kukai! Don't lose!
Go for it! Fight! Go! All right! Kukai! Fight! Fight!
What's wrong, Hinamori?
Um, it's nothing.
Hinamori?
Well there, if it isn't Himamori.
It's Hinamori!
Not going to watch the soccer match?
I'm in a rush.
Seeing everyone trying so hard makes you laugh, right?
Everyone's dream is to be the best in Japan, or even go international.
It's useless, though.
I mean, statistically speaking,
the percentage of kids who can make that dream come true is quite small.
Realistically speaking. Right?
Excuse me.
What was that about?
Now I've lost Yamada.
Amu, that way.
You can tell?
Kukai is definitely the best.
Someone like me just can't match him.
He's acting strange.
He is.
I've got a bad feeling.
Almost!
Kukai missed the shot?
And the ball was stolen.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter to me.
It doesn't matter!
An X Egg?
I knew his heart's egg was feeling troubled!
Kick!
Dribble, dribble, shoot!
Pass, pass, pass, pass.
What's wrong, Tadase?
I'm still worried about the way Hinamori looked earlier.
Me too.
Yaya is coming too!
Hat trick!
This is too sudden!
Look out!
Hinamori!
You guys!
This match doesn't matter.
No matter how hard I try,
it means nothing since I won't get to play.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous!
Amu!
My own heart, unlock!
Character Transformation: Amulet Heart!
Even though you were not a starter,
you still practiced alone.
I thought you were pretty good.
This is ridiculous!
You're lying!
Even you think I have no talent!
Where's Amu?
Yellow card!
It's not up to others to decide if you have talent!
If you don't believe in yourself, who will?!
Red card!
Now I'm irritated!
You're the only one demeaning yourself!
Negative Heart,
lock on!
Open Heart!
Obrigado, Amu!
Note: "Obrigado" is Portuguese for "thanks."
Are you Yamada's would-be self?
Yeah. I love soccer.
Ciao!
Player change! Sato will be replaced by Yamada.
Huh? Hinamori?
Forget that. Substitute!
Substitute? Why? What have I been doing?
Doing what? Your X Chara—
X Chara? What is that?
Um, it's a chara...
Here.
They say if you eat caramel, you'll get back a lot of energy.
She's too good at deceiving people!
Nice one, Su!
That was nothing!
I don't really understand, but thanks.
He definitely thinks I'm a weirdo.
Yamada, this is our last chance.
As soon as you get the ball, head for the goal!
Right!
Go for it.
Don't feel intimidated by the keeper today.
Just play like you always practice. That way is the best.
How do you know about that?
We all know about it.
Let's make this last one count.
Let's do it, Yamada!
Yeah!
They're losing by one goal!
It's a pinch!
How much time is left?
Less than a minute.
Yamada!
All right!
Nice shot, Yamada!
You bum!
We did it.
Yeah.
Because of your shot, we were able to tie with last year's champions, Seifu Academy.
Only because your pass was great.
This is the beauty of a man's friendship!
It sure is!
Kukai, hit me!
I lost the match in my mind even before getting to play.
Please hit me!
What are you saying?
Kukai, say something to him.
Sure thing.
Not that!
You really hit him!
This is a man's friendship!
I wonder about that.
Hold back a little!
Even my parents never hit me that hard!
Be quiet!
As the captain, I won't let you act this naive!
Stop it, you two!
Amu, want to do ballet together?
Why ballet?
Haven't you heard? Ballet is really popular. Everyone is doing it!
Don't lie to me. I've never heard that!
But everyone is getting excited!
Round and round!
Round and round.
Everyone's danc— Wait, what kind of dancing is that?!
Next time on Shugo Chara:
Character Transformation! Amulet Spade!
Amu, your dancing is definitely "special."
Leave me alone!
Could it be? A character transformation with me?
