Captain Tsubasa episode 39, set for release on June 30, 2024, at 4 pm IST, is expected to end this season with Tsubasa's debut with Japan's senior national team and also his move to Brazil, which could potentially set up the events for a third season, if that is approved in the coming weeks.

The most recent episode of this second season focused on the aftermath of the main players of the Japan side that won that Junior Youth tournament. Hyuga is determined to be Japan's finest now that Tsubasa is going to Brazil, Wakabayashi signed a professional contract with Hamburg, and Taro Misaki and his father decided to come back to Japan.

As mentioned earlier, Captain Tsubasa episode 39 is going to conclude this season and is bound to focus on Tsubasa's debut with the national team and his move to Brazil. There is also a good chance that audiences could see hints of a potential third season, although this is mere fan speculation at the moment.

The most recent episode showed the aftermath of the main Japanese players who were part of the Junior Youth tournament. One of the most prominent was Taro Misaki as his father decided they were going back to Japan, with the former also saying goodbye to his friends in Paris. Another prominent case was Kojiro Hyuga's decision to push himself to be Japan's best player now that Tsubasa is heading to Brazil.

Meanwhile, another prominent player of that Japanese side, Genzo Wakabayashi, was given the chance to sign a professional contract with the German football club, Hamburg. That team's senior goalkeeper got injured and Genzo received the opportunity to sign a professional contract at age 15, although he requested to keep playing with Japan.

This episode also showed how the Japanese Football Federation debated with Katagiri about calling Tsubasa for the national team, although they eventually chose not to because they wanted him to develop easily. The next few scenes added content to what was in the manga, with Tsubasa heading to the national team's camp so he could dribble the players and prove his worth, which eventually convinced the national coach to give him a call.

Captain Tsubasa episode 39 is the final episode of the season, so this is bound to be the ending of the storyline, at least when it comes to this portion of the manga. The episode is going to show Tsubasa's debut with the national team and is potentially likely to show his departure to Brazil.
