Captain Tsubasa episode 32, set for release on May 12, 2024, at 4 pm IST, is expected to continue the beginning of the match between Japan and Germany in the final of the Junior Youth Tournament.
The match between these two sides so far has been somewhat even, but this recent episode had a lot of focus on the Japanese side trying to come up with strategies to defeat the Germans' top goalkeeper, Deuter Muller.
This episode was very significant in showing how much Japan has had to struggle just to keep up with the Germans in terms of physicality and also defensive structure. However, Hyuga and Tsubasa proved in this episode why they are the main duo of the series and pushed the envelope in order to beat Muller and tie the score at the moment.
Therefore, Captain Tsubasa episode 32 is likely to chronicle more developments of the match while showcasing Germany's playing style and how Japan manages to react to those situations. There is also a very good chance that the upcoming episodes are going to show a lot more of Japan's struggles against Germany, particularly regarding their top player, Karl-Heinz Schneider.

Recap of the previous episode
The bulk of the episode was centered around how much Japan struggled against Germany, which is something that surprised even the protagonists. The episode also showed how they managed to overpower Deuter Muller. The aforementioned German goalkeeper has been a nightmare for the Japanese to face, which has added to their struggles in that regard.
It could be argued that the protagonists of the episode were Tsubasa and Hyuga, who even shared a twin shot in the match, which is a rarity for them as a duo. Furthermore, they were also quite important to push forward since they are Japan's best players and were the ones who managed to defeat Muller for the first time in the match, thus leading to their first goal.
Muller stands out as one of the best players of the match thus far, making several memorable saves during this episode alone. However, it took the entirety of Japan's might just to level the score, which is something that is worth highlighting in this episode.
What to expect from Captain Tsubasa episode 32?
There is a good chance that Captain Tsubasa episode 32 will continue to develop the match between Germany and Japan, especially considering how recent episodes have been building the former as a powerhouse. However, after the goal scored by Tsubasa, there is a very good chance that the next episode is going to show Germany's reaction.
