Tsubasa, in order to follow his ambition, relocates to Nankatsu with his mother. There, he meets both enemies and friends, like the brave Ishizaki, the happy Sanae Nakazawa, the smart goalkeeper Wakabayashi, and the former Brazilian football star Roberto Hongo, who encourage him to go after his goals.
It will be interesting to watch season two of the Captain Tsubasa anime. Stay tuned for more anime and manga updates as 2023 progresses.
