Plot
Emerico appeared at the airport when the Spanish team, Muteki no Giant, came to Russia for the Football Frontier International tournament. They met the Japanese team, Inazuma Japan, and the American team, Star Unicorn. Later, everyone was warmly welcomed by the captain of the Russian team, Froy Girikanan.
When the match against Inazuma Japan started, Emerico was running next to Asuto but he unexpectedly tricked him and kicked the ball further to Haizaki. Emerico and Rufino rushed towards Inazuma Japan who were charging on Muteki no Giant's goal, after they regained the ball, using the new tactic, The General. When Clario failed to score with Megaru Diamond Ray, the match resumed and Inazuma Japan counterattacked. Emerico clashed with Kazemaru and Hiura who supported him from behind. In the flashback, Emerico was talking with his teammates about their possible opponents in the Football Frontier International tournament. He asked the coach, Pepe Banderas, if he expected them to win the preliminaries since he told them about researching the opponent's teams. Emerico asked Clario which teams he was concerning about. Clario explained that he was thinking about Inazuma Japan. Although they were still weak, they would continue grow. Emerico stated that Inazuma Japan's forward, Gouenji Shuuya, wasn't a threat for them since he wasn't able to play due to his injuries. Later, during the match, he clashed with Goujin and Asuto for the ball but they managed to pass him.
When the match resumed after Inazuma Japan scored the second goal, Bergamo and Luther shot with new technique, Twin Lancer. Thanks to this, Muteki no Giant took the lead with 3 points. Later, Inazuma Japan counterattacked using an unfinished Last Resort. However, Clario, along with Rufino and Domelgo blocked it with The Shelter. At the end of the match, Inazuma Japan used another different strategy when Asuto rushed through the field, passing all players on his way, including the goalkeeper Alonso. As a result, Inazuma Japan tied with Muteki no Giant 3-3 and the match soon ended.
It was shown later that Perfect Spark defeated Muteki no Giant with a score of 6-0. Muteki no Giant won the next match against Star Unicorn with the result of 2-1, which helped Inazuma Japan advance to the finals.
