Ep. 70: The Cursed Coach!

70

Inazuma Japan's practice begins with Toramaru arriving late, prompting Fudou to mock him. Coach Kudou introduces Fuyuka as the new manager, though she has not yet regained her memories. The team quickly realizes the strict nature of their training. Afterward, Hiroto asks Endou about Kudou, who is described as a good coach. During subsequent sessions, Fudou tackles Kazemaru violently but receives praise from Kudou. Endou, Kazemaru, Kabeyama, and Kurimatsu feel depressed after training but are served ramen and charsiu at Rairaiken shop. On the third day, Haruna and Megane sneak into the Junior High Soccer Association Headquarters to investigate Kudou, discovering rumors that he is the "Cursed Coach." Endou observes Someoka practicing to join the team under FFI rules. Later, the team learns they will play against Australia's Big Waves and are ordered to stay in their rooms instead of practicing.
