Matsukaze Tenma, along with the members of the Raimon team, now aim to free soccer so that everyone can finally play soccer freely without being ordered how to do it. What used to be the “real soccer” is gone. Soccer in its current state is controlled and gives out commands whether the team loses purposely or wins the match. Now, soccer in Japan is controlled by an organization called Fifth Sector and is led by the one known as the “Holy Emperor”, namely Ishido Shuuji. The new main protagonist, Matsukaze Tenma tries out for the Raimon soccer team and passes but in a match with another team, he soon realizes that soccer is much different from what he has expected it to be. In this time, soccer is different from before and has become a reason for people to lose hope and stop playing for those who enjoy soccer.
Japan and what used to be soccer has changed during the 10 years that have passed. 10 years after the FFI, an unnoticed darkness lurks behind the country.
