Captain Tsubasa

Captain Tsubasa (キャプテン翼, Kyaputen Tsubasa ^?), localized as Captain Tsubasa in some Spanish translations, although alternatively and more popularly known as Supercampeones in Latin America and Campeones: Oliver y Benji in Spain, is a manga series written and illustrated by Yōichi Takahashi in 1981. An anime series adaptation was developed just two years after the release of the manga, which was highly successful internationally, being originally broadcast between 1983 and 1986 on TV Tokyo and directed by Isamu Imakake. In the decades that followed, short television sequels were made, which did not achieve the same impact as the first adaptation.

The story has soccer as its central theme, chronicling the intrepid adventures of Tsubasa Ōzora and his friends from childhood until they become professionals and become part of the Japan national team. The plot also focuses on Tsubasa's relationship with his friends, the rivalry towards his opponents, the training, the competition and the events in each of the matches that are played.

Manga

Captain Tsubasa, written by Yōichi Takahashi, is divided into several manga. The first, called "Captain Tsubasa" (1981-88), contains 37 volumes; the second called "Captain Tsubasa: World Youth" (1994-97), contains 18 volumes; the third "Captain Tsubasa: Road To 2002" (2001-04), contains 15 volumes; the fourth "Captain Tsubasa: Golden 23" (2005-08), contains 12 volumes; the fifth "Captain Tsubasa: Kaigai Gekito Hen in Calcio" (2009), contains 2 volumes and the latest "Captain Tsubasa: Kaigai Gekito Hen En La Liga" (since 2013), it has 7 published volumes.

The saga was created in order to promote the practice of soccer in Japan. Captain Tsubasa was a hit in both the manga and the anime. The first manga were pocket and consisted of 37 volumes. This first edition came out between January 1982 and March 1989; Later, an edition in a larger format (as Japanese children could not read it) also came out, consisting of 21 issues, which comprised the previous 37 issues; in addition to the size, it also differed in the cover and the extra pages. Both versions were edited from the JumpComics publisher.

Recently, the character of Ōzora Tsubasa was part of the promotion for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games along with other characters from Japanese popular culture, along with Super Mario Bros., Pac-Man, Doraemon and Hello Kitty.

Anime

• Captain Tsubasa (Supercamps in Spanish and Champions: Oliver and Benji In Spain: Due to the success of the sleeve, there was anime, which was issued from October 13, 1983 until March 27, 1986 for the small screen through the TV channel 12 Tokyo. The series is composed of 128 chapters of 22 minutes each, where the history of the sleeve is told to number 25. In addition, four animated films were soon made between 1985 and 1986. This series and the films would add contents that were not in the original story, such as the World Children's Tournament in Europe; with this, the anime went over the sleeve.

• Shin Captain Tsubasa: A few years later, in 1989, a continuation of the original series “Captain Tsubasa”. Composed of 13 OVAs, this new series adapts the missing volumes of the sleeve (25-36), whose plot tells the story from the preparations for the Sub-16 World Cup in France to the end against Germany. This is the end of the 1981 sleeve.

• Captain Tsubasa J (Supercamps J In Hispanoamérica: On 21 October 1994, this new series of 47 chapters was released, in which the anime showed many improvements in the quality of animation. The first 33 chapters are a remake of the original series “Captain Tsubasa”. The second part of the series (34-47), adapts the “World Youth” sleeve. It narrates the arrival of Tsubasa to Brazil and presents a new character, Shingo Aoi (Terry Denton), a Japanese resident in Italy. We also see the end of the Brazilian League between the São Paulo de Tsubasa and the Flamengo de Carlos Santana and the Japanese Selection train for the Sub-20 football World. However, the series remained unfinished, with eleven tomos left the “World Youth” sleeve without animated version (the qualifying matches for the World Cup, the Asian Cup and the World Cup itself). The film of this part remains unprecedented in Spain.

• Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002 (Supercamps: road to the world in Hispanoamérica and Campeones made the world: Oliver and Benji in Spain: This new series was issued in Japan between July 2001 and June 2002, consists of 52 chapters and was issued by TV-Tokyo. The series is divided into three parts: The first part “Road to Dream” (Chapter 1-19) is a remake of the original series “Captain Tsubasa”, Tsubasa remembers his childhood while playing his last game in Brazil, in São Paulo F.C. against the Flamengo. Tsubasa remembers his steps from playing in the "Nankatsu" (Niupi) to already a teenager, when he faces the "Toho" at the end of high school (although there are changes in script regarding the original series). The second part “Road to Sky” (Chapter 20-31) is a remake of the second series “Shin Captain Tsubasa”, shows the national youth championship or the Sub-16 World Championship. After this, the series overlooks the part corresponding to the "World Youth" and begins the new saga, whose story is new and invented for the anime. This third part “Road to Victory” (Chapter 32-52) presents new content, is shown to Tsubasa in Brazil, its beginnings and its duel with Santana, to later see how this follows its path at F. C. Barcelona, Hyuga in Juventus and Wakabayashi in Hamburg SV. After these events with positive endings (Hyuga and Tsubasa win their matches and Wakabayashi empata) the Japanese in Europe get the time to leave with their selection to the 2002 World Cup, held in South Korea and Japan. The series ends at the international stadium of Yokohama, the selection of Japan faces in the inaugural party against Brazil, trained by Roberto, and formed by Santana, Pepe and Rivaul. This anime has no continuation in any way, which is seen in the end, a world party between Japan and Brazil is pure marketing, none of this occurs in the "Road To 2002" sleeve, and should not be confused with the end of the "World Youth". I mean, the end doesn't correspond to the sleeve.

• Captain Tsubasa (2018): (Captain Tsubasa or Supercamps 2018 in Hispanic America: On December 12, 2017, through a press conference, it was announced that “Captain Tsubasa” would have a reboot for television, with premiere date for April 2018 on the TV Tokyo chain. It was composed of 52 episodes divided into 2 seasons. The announcement was accompanied by a trailer and poster, as well as images with the design of the characters. Subsequently, at the beginning of March 2018, the official website of this new anime announced that the series would be released on March 26, 2018.

Takahashi's return and new series

After a few years, in 1993, Takahashi resumed the adventures of Tsubasa, with the manga Captain Tsubasa: Saikyo no teki! Holland Youth, where the story of Japan vs. Netherlands. The manga was published by Shōnen Jump and, later, it went to a pocket edition in April 1996, although before the manga came out, it was already distributed on video in Japan at the end of 1995.

In 1994, Takahashi begins a new story called Captain Tsubasa World Youth Hen, where he narrates the adventures of a new character (Aoi Shingo), Tsubasa's career with the Brazilian club São Paulo Futebol Clube and the Asian qualifiers and the U-19 Youth World Cup in Japan. This series lasted until 1997, being transferred to a paperback edition between December 1994 and September 1997. It consists of 18 issues.

The new series, Captain Tsubasa J, and Captain Tsubasa J World Youth, ran in 1994 and 1995. The first is a summary of the initial story, with an improvement in graphics and greater fluidity, but since it is a summary, many scenes and stories are omitted. The second one is based on the manga, but just like the first series, this one ended up catching up with the mangas and they haven't finished the series. It consists of 46 chapters. It includes the word tsuzuku at the end of each chapter, and owari at the end of the last episode. Fuji TV broadcast it in that period.

With an eye on the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup, a new series was born, with the title Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002, although the title Captain Tsubasa appears in the titles just plain, the rest was added to distinguish it from the original series. This series is the continuation of World Youth, where Tsubasa signed for FC Barcelona (Catalonia in the anime) and Hyuga for Juventus (Piedmont in the anime). This series was broadcast in Japan between July 2001 and August 2002, it consists of 52 chapters and was broadcast by TV-Tokyo. At the end Tsubasa is shown in the F.C. Barcelona/Catalonia, Hyuga at Juventus/Piedmont and Wakabayashi at Hamburg/Grünwald.

After two years, in 2005, Takahashi resumes the adventures of Tsubasa, with the manga Captain Tsubasa Golden-23, which narrates Tsubasa's career with the FC Barcelona club (Spain) and the Asian Pre-Olympic for the Olympic Games in Madrid, Spain. Until now, the series has been structured in 3 parts or events (different from those that used to be seen, where the focus was only the selected Japanese). The first narrated the preparation of the team to play the Pre-Olympic, with Matsuyama as captain and Misaki as the playmaker or pivot, and how they play a friendly match against Denmark and Nigeria. The second part has explained the Asian Pre-Olympic itself and Japan's qualification for the Olympic Games, without counting the Japanese players abroad (Tsubasa, Hyuga, Aoi and Tomeya). After that, Yōichi Takahashi took a breather to enjoy Euro 2008. In July of that year, he resumed his adventures, focusing on the Italian league and the Spanish league in Europe. With this theme he has published 2 short series. The first Captain Tsubasa Kaigai - Gekitouhen in Calcio deals with Hyuga's season at Juventus, fighting for promotion to Serie B in the last game. The second Captain Tsubasa - Kaigai Gekitouhen - En La Liga focuses on Tsubasa's season finale at F. C. Barcelona to victory in the league. After finishing these 2 short series, at the end of 2013 Takahashi resumed preparing for the Olympic Games with a new series titled Captain Tsubasa - Rising Sun

A fan since pre-school, his great friendly relationship with soccer and, above all, with the ball, was indelibly marked when at the age of 5 he was unharmed after being hit by a truck thanks to the fact that he filed his ball between him and the car, and then, being thrown by the crash, the ball again prevented him from hitting the ground. Since then, Tsubasa considers that his ball saved his life and also plays soccer as a way to pay off his debt to him. Originally from Tokyo, he moved with his mother to Shizuoka, where he met Ryō Ishizaki and Sanae Nakazawa and began playing soccer as a center forward for the Nankatsu Elementary School team, although at first he wanted to join the Shutetsu Elementary team. but the challenge that he planted to the goalkeeper of that team, Genzo Wakabayashi, forced him to change his mind. With the arrival of Taro Misaki, he formed with him the famous "Golden Comby" with which he faced Wakabayashi in the match that closed the inter-sport challenge between the two schools and ended 2-2. He also met Brazilian international Roberto Hongō, who taught him the overhead kick and the drive shot, while he was the Nankatsu coach.
