After Japan's elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Anri Teieri prompted the Japanese Football Union to start a program scouting high school players who will begin training in preparation for the 2022 Cup. Kashimo Wakasa, a forward, receives an...
Barou: I want that number 50, Kunigami. With that physique, we can keep the ball by having him as a post player. If he joins, then we can fill the front lines more. And that would help me score more.

Team Red is left wide-eyed. Their best player was stolen from them.
Kashimo: Join us. You're flare personality and passing skills are needed against Rin.
Bachira: I really wanted to stay with the original group, but I won't wait for you guys.
Bachira looks at Team Red.
Bachira: Come and chase me.
Kashimo: You guys will be fine. After all...
