On Inakunijima, a small island off the Japanese mainland, Inamori Asuto plays soccer for his school's soccer club. However, the club, which lacks a sponsor, is abolished due to the "sponsorship system", which determines the need for a soccer team to be sponsored. Soon afterward, Asuto's mother passes away, her dying words to Asuto being that soccer will always be there for him. The club members are told that there is a sponsor willing to support the club, under the condition that they enter the "Football Frontier", a national youth soccer tournament, and win a single match. However, their opponent will be a higher ranked Seishou Gakuen. Furthermore, they will be transferred to Raimon Junior High in Tokyo, where they will become the new "Raimon" team.
After everyone is on board, they arrive in Tokyo. They begin their match against Seishou Gakuen, and Inakuni Raimon gains an early lead when Kozoumaru Sasuke scores with "Fire Tornado". However this "awakens" Haizaki Ryouhei, Seishou Gakuen's star forward, into a far more maniacal and aggressive player, as he and his teammates prepare to initiate the "Death Zone" soccer play.
