Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002

From the moment he first kicked a ball in Nankatsu, Tsubasa Oozora has treated football as both his greatest joy and the road toward one enormous dream: playing on the world stage. His rise is shaped by fierce rivals, trusted teammates, demanding matches, and the lessons he carries from Japan to Brazil.

As Tsubasa pushes into professional football and sets his sights on Europe, familiar players are pursuing ambitions of their own across different leagues. Every match becomes another step toward the ultimate goal, a World Cup where Japan can stand against the strongest teams on Earth.
