In the movie, Raimon played a match against Unlimited Shining and lost 12-0, with Unlimited Shining scoring 5 goals in the first half, and 7 more goals in the second half.
The match starts with Zero having the ball and gives Raimon no chance to steal the ball by performing a series of passes. Shindou Takuto then uses the tactic; Kami no Takt and instructs Tenma to steal the ball but fails as Shuu easily dodges it. The ball then is passed to Hakuryuu as he easily gets the first point against Sangoku Taichi as he shows his Keshin, Seijuu Shining Dragon and easily score a goal with a mighty shot from it. Matsukaze Tenma then has the ball again afterward and passes it to Shindou in which he summons his keshin; Sousha Maestro. But he faces Hakuryuu who in response, summons Seijuu Shining Dragon. He then uses the tail of his keshin to defeat Sousha Maestro. Tsurugi Kyousuke summons Kensei Lancelot in order to stop Hakuryuu; however, it fails as, more one time, Hakuryuu uses his Keshin's tail to strike him. Tenma summons Majin Pegasus and just like Tsurugi, he fails. Kirino Ranmaru and Amagi Daichi try to stop it with their own individual moves but failed to do so. Hakuryuu then uses White Breath and defeats Sangoku's Fence of Gaia. This marks up Zero with a two-point lead.
As the match resumes, Shindou, Tenma, and Tsurugi call out their keshin to try and block Hakuryuu's keshin, but it is shown that there are other four keshin users and the field then becomes a horrible battle of keshin. Hakuryuu then uses White Breath again and destroys Raimon's keshin. Kirino Ranmaru uses Deep Mist, Kariya Masaki uses Hunter's Net and Amagi Daichi uses Viva! Banri no Choujou to try and block the shot. Sangoku tries to block it yet again with Fence of Gaia and succeeds with some help from Tsurugi. Though after the match resumes, because of everyone being badly injured and tired, it became a horrible field of being shot at.
Raimon has a timeout temporarily and after that timeout, the match resumes and everyone remembers their training and uses it to their advantage. Tenma then after some encouragement from Endou, evolves his keshin further, turning it into Majin Pegasus Arc and defeats Hakuryuu. He then passes it to Shindou and uses Harmonics along with Tsurugi's Death Drop. The goalkeeper is then shocked when Tenma suddenly comes in and adds more force to the shoot in which the goalkeeper tries to block it with Serpent Fang but fails, this marks up Raimon's first point.
Kibayama then signals Zero to use their keshin more in which they did but Kirino Ranmaru thought of a plan to stop the keshin. Kirino and Kariya both use Deep Mist and Hunter's Net to capture one keshin while Shinsuke and Amagi use their defense hissatsu, Buttobi Jump and Viva! Banri no Choujou, also to stop another keshin. This lessens the keshin that Tenma, Tsurugi and Shindou have to stop.
Shindou gets the ball and passes to Kageyama Hikaru in which he uses Extend Zone to create a chain shoot with Nishiki Ryouma's Bushin Renzan. This makes both teams tied and Hakuryuu is then seen in frustration. Kibayama and some other adults then join Zero and as Kibayama has the ball, he passes it to Shuu and scores another goal with Black Ash. The Raimon team is then badly beaten but Tenma stands up and says that it's not over.
Endou Mamoru then looks at his hand and has a flashback of the past in which his grandfather; Endou Daisuke is shown in his last moments and encourages Endou. Because of that. Endou wears the goalkeeper gloves and says that he will play in the match in which shocks everyone. The other adults agree and they joined in the match.
Hakuryuu then speedily attacks Tenma but Tenma was able to avoid it with his keshin. Nishizono Shinsuke then uses Buttobi Jump to create a chain shoot with Justice Wing. Then Shuu and Hakuryuu get serious. They combined both of their keshin to call out Sei Kishi Arthur and shoots with Sword Excalibur. Shindou called everyone back to the goal and said that everyone must protect the goal but everyone was blown away by the hissatsu and Zero scored another point. After that, Hakuryuu and Shuu called their Keshin Fusion again. Tenma, Shindou, and Tsurugi in response called out another keshin called Matei Gryphon and uses Sword of Fire. This then makes both teams tied yet again.
After Shuu realizes what Tenma meant, Hakuryuu is still in frustration, but Tsurugi makes Hakuryuu realize that he actually enjoys soccer back then when he was young in which Hakuryuu then has a change of heart and both teams are shown playing 'true soccer' which was enjoying it. Hakuryuu and Shuu then create new shoot technique called Zero Magnum but Sangoku also responds with his own new catch technique; Burai Hand. The members of Team Zero comments that the match is more fun if it was enjoyed. The audience of SEED's training suddenly smiles and enjoy true soccer. Ishido is then shocked at what was happening, Endou then looks at the Holy Emperor's seat and he smiles. The match continues with Nishiki Ryouma using Nobori Ryuu and passes through everyone, he gives the ball to Shindou, Tenma and Tsurugi who uses another more powerful shoot than Joker Rains, the Evolution. But the goalkeeper of Zero wasn't able to block this but then Shuu and Hakuryuu then intervene again with Zero Magnum. The match ends with both teams tied each with five scores and everyone shaking hands and being cheered on by the audience.
Side matches
Raimon vs Raimon 2gun – Endou decided to have a practice match between the 2 teams which meant Ichino and Aoyama returned to the second team temporary and Ichino commanded his team well in telling them to intercept each pass Tenma and his team did. Kirino then told Tenma that he should have passed the ball to Hamano since he was free. Ichino got passed Tenma while he was daydreaming and Tsurugi told Tenma to snap out of it. Ishikari then had a chance to shoot in which Tenma told the defense to stop it but it was too late and it went straight at Sangoku.
Trivia
In the match between Raimon and Kidokawa Seishuu, a year ago, three unknown players play for Raimon, but they are never seen in the anime again. They were replaced by Minamisawa Atsushi, Mizumori Tatsuya, and Kosaka Motonari. The players were probably third years then, so now they are in high school.
Tenma is the only player in the team to play for the entire duration of every single match in the Holy Road.
The dub version assigns a different nationality, complete with a matching name and accent, for each member. They all tend to use words and phrases from their respective language on occasion.
The managers' names are based on colors: Aoi means blue, "Aka" in Akane means red and Midori means green. The dub version follows the same pattern with their surnames, which are Blue, Redd, and Greene respectively.
Raimon's uniform, along with Inazuma Japan's second uniform make an appearance as the cosplay costumes in Yo-kai Watch 3, another game made by Level-5.
During a promotional video alongside Episode 019, Fuuretsu Hayami was seen to have joined the Raimon team. This was never brought up in the canon story though.
