Super Kickers 2006 - Captain Tsubasa ( jap. キャプテン翼 ROAD TO DREAM, Kyaputen Tsubasa: Road To Dream ) is currently the last of three anime - television series for Manga -Complex Captain Tsubasa . The series is based on the plot of the manga Captain Tsubasa: Road to 2002 by Yōichi Takahashi . The manga and the TV series animated by Studio Group Tac started in Japan in the run-up to the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea .

action

Tsubasa is in Brazil for the last time on the field for the Brancos and plays with them against arch-rivals for the Brazilian soccer championship before he wants to move to Spain to the Primera División to improve his way of playing. He remembers what opponents he had in his career as a player and how he celebrated successes with his friends.

Tsubasa's first success was the win against the Shutetsu School, where his first rival Genzo Wakabayashi was also in goal. After the district championship, he moved to Germany to FC Grünwald and had to fight for the regular place in the goal. Genzo Wakabayashi is also a regular goalkeeper for the Japanese team.

His biggest rival is Karl-Heinz Schneider, who also played for FC Grünwald and moved to FC Rotburg. He's a brilliant striker and one of the best young players in the world.

His toughest competitor from the time of the junior teams, Kojiro Hyuga, has meanwhile matured into an advertising star and promising football talent in Japan and is also about to move to Europe. Unlike Tsubasa, who wants to go to Spain, Hyuga finds a place as a striker in the top Italian team, FC Piemont .

However, the start is difficult for both of them: Tsubasa will be placed in the B-team of FC Catalonia , where he will first prove himself. Hyuga's limits are also shown at the start of Serie A , when the defenders of the first opponent prove to be insurmountable for him.

A change is imminent in the Japanese national team in view of the upcoming world championships. All players from the junior team that won the tournament in Europe a few years ago are nominated and play in a friendly against the Dutch national team , which despite its quality did not qualify for the finals of the World Cup.

Both Tsubasa and Hyuga eventually prevail in their teams. Tsubasa can meet the demands of the Catalan head coach and is on hand to replace team-mate Rivaul when he is injured in the Spanish championship duel against rival Valencia.

After a leap in time, the plot closes when Tsubasa and his friends find each other in the opening game of the World Cup, in which their opponent is the Brazilian national team , which is coached by Tsubasa's mentor Roberto Hongo and in which Tsubasa's friends and former rivals play. The game is kicked off by referee Pierluigi Collina , but without knowing the result of the game, the series ends.

Conception

The anime is divided into 4 chapters: Elementary School Chapter ( 小学生 編 , Shōgakusei-hen ), Middle School Chapter ( 中学生 編 , Chūgakusei-hen ), Junior Youth Chapter ( ジ ュ ニ ア ユ ー ス 編 , Junia yūsu hen ) and Road to 2002 .

The first chapters or 36 episodes serve with short introductions as a basis for looking back at Tsubasa's career, which the previous productions already cover. The story from Tsubasa's departure from Brazil is new.

Unlike in the manga, in which Mangaka Yōichi Takahashi names the original names of football clubs and sponsors, the names and logos are changed in the anime for reasons of market law and used in a modified form or completely removed: For example, Tsubasa plays in the manga template in Brazil at FC São Paulo and moves to FC Barcelona , while in the filmed version he plays for FC Branco and moves to FC Catalonia. Only the official sponsor of the Japanese national soccer team adidas is still visible with the official logo, for example in the second opening credits of the series, which was not shown in the German version.

Football players named in the manga version who were playing in reality at the time the manga was written are also named differently. The plot is still based on a real basis, for example the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, for which the Dutch national team did not qualify.

Production and publications

In 2001 Studio Group Tac produced the 52-part series. Directed by Gisaburō Sugii and the character design created Minoru Maeda. The series aired from October 7, 2001 to October 6, 2002 on TV Tokyo .

After further publications in Mexico and Brazil , the anime was also released in Germany in the run-up to the 2006 World Cup . After it was broadcast on German television, the UFA Anime series was released on a total of six DVDs . The series has also been translated into English, French and Italian, among others.
