Captain Tsubasa episode 4: Release date and time, what to expect, and more

Captain Tsubasa episode 4 of this second season will be out next Sunday, and today's episode 3 has given enough reasons to watch it, considering Tsubasa's return from injury. His recovery has been a major talking point in the early parts of the Junior Youth arc, and now he is set to go back to the pitch to help Wakabayashi and the rest of the team against Hamburg.

The upcoming Captain Tsubasa episode 4 is probably also going to show a lot more of Wakabayashi and his recent rivalry with the German starlet Schneider in this match. This season thus far has given Wakabayashi a lot of the spotlight and will continue to do so as they head to the tournament in France.

Previous episode recap

Most of episode 3 was focused on showing how much the Japanese team has struggled to deal with Schneider's physical intensity. This was part of the reason they were down 2-0 in the match, and while Hinata had a very decent chance to get one goal, the German Emperor, as he has been dubbed by his teammates, kept them from scoring.

Wakabayashi tried to add some of his own physical intensity into the mix, which helped to a degree in the match and got some momentum in his team's favor. Of course, the biggest plot point in this episode was how Tsubasa arrived from Japan after treating his injury and wants to play the second half of the match, which is going to have its own fair share of consequences for the player.
