* Based on a sports manga written by Kaneshiro Muneyuki and drawn by Nomura Yuusuke. After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's missing? An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide them to the win. The Japan Football Union is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match...and to do so, they've gathered 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team...and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way? Source: Kodansha Note: The first episode premiered on Aug 6, 2022 in Mannheim, Germany (AnimagiC 2022) ahead of the fall broadcast. An additional advance screening took place on Sep 30 in Paris, France.
Theoretical best: JPN BD+CR
-ZR-, Erai-Raws, and SubsPlease are CR WEB-DLs The JPN BD has strong lowpassing seemingly in and around grainy scenes, however it's arguably not as bad as WEB that falls apart quite badly in those scenes anyway, and it looks significantly better in normal scenes. USA was lowpassed the entire time. BMF is the unmuxed best but has desynced subs in at least episode 5 due to BD changes
