Episode 005

Where's the Secret Technique Manual?! (秘伝書はどこだ！/ Hiden-sho wa dokoda!) is episode 5 of the Inazuma Eleven anime.

Summary
The Football Frontier is about to start and Raimon are up against the terrifying jumpers of Nosei Junior High in their first game. Everyone agrees that unless they come up with a new technique, they are finished before they even start. Just when all hope is lost, Endou finds another notebook written by his grandfather!

Plot
At the football frontier team selection, it is revealed that Raimon's first opponent is Nosei Junior High.

At the soocer club, everyone is introduced to the new transfer student (Domon Asuka) who wants to join the team. Endou welcomes him eagerly and claims that they're going to win the football frontier, but Domon warns him that Nosei have very good jumping abilities. Endou dismisses his warning by saying that they have many powerful shoots, but Domon still insists that Nosei could beat them with their jumping ability and intercept any of their hissatsu techniques. Endou decides that the answer to their problem is to create a new hissatsu technique.

During their practice, Furukabu interrupts them and talks to them about the legendary Inazuma Eleven, whose coach was Endou's grandfather. The next day they continue their practice, but no one seems able to come up with a technique. After visiting Rairaiken and getting a clue about Endou Daisuke's secret notebook from the boss of the restaurant, Endou and the others start to look for it. Natsumi manages to locate the notebook for them, although no one apart from Endou can read it.

Endou reads out the description for the hissatsu technique called Inazuma Drop, although no one can understand the description. During practice Gouenji figures out what the description meant, and Endou decides to pair Gouenji and Kabeyama together for the new hissatsu.
