Shy and physically weak, Tsukushi Tsukamoto is frequently targeted by bullies. After one such incident, he crosses paths with Jin Kazama, a naturally gifted soccer player also attending Seiseki High School. Kazama steps in to help Tsukamoto and asks him to join a futsal game as a substitute for an absent player. Despite his lack of skill and a painful ankle injury, Tsukamoto shows relentless enthusiasm and determination, motivating his team, including the initially apathetic Kazama. Tsukamoto scores the winning goal, igniting a deep passion for soccer and forming a connection with Kazama. Motivated by Kazama's example, Tsukamoto decides to try out for the school's soccer club. He is unaware, however, that Seiseki's team is famous across the country, and his limited abilities might not be enough to earn a spot. Unfazed, Tsukamoto keeps pushing forward, relying only on his ability to charge ahead without hesitation.
