Previous episode recap
The main focus of the most recent episode was on the character of Misaki Taro and how he has joined Japan's national youth team. He had played with Tsubasa and his friends when he was younger and got called up to France for the youth tournament, which is why he ultimately decided to join the side for this occasion.
This was also a big moment for Taro because he had left Japan years ago to trial in France, where the competition is going to take place.
What to expect from the next episode?
Captain Tsubasa episode 6 will focus a lot on what has been the team's goal thus far: the preparations for the tournament in France.
Therefore, fans can expect a lot more character moments from Misaki or Hyuga while also seeing glimpses of the opposition in the upcoming competition.
Fans can also expect Tsubasa to get attention after giving the spotlight to other characters thus far in this arc, which is to be expected because his subplot has been overcoming his injury. This will probably connect to other teammates' arcs and what this represents in their respective goals.
