Damn, the defensive tactics of this episode is really impressive. To be that close to the goal and rejected. However, the one that really hits the mark is everyone rushing to the middle of the goal to block Tsubasa's huge strike.

That's so intense. They're literally putting their bodies on the line to try and win. Very admirable. Honestly, I think the momentum of this match reached its peak.

Both team are persistent for wanting to win. Drive shoot blocked by all members of Furano.

Tsubasa already in limit. All member of Furano went to goal in.

Wow, that very first friend Tsubasa made calling him Captain Tsubasa.

Tsubasa not giving up on the final few minutes and shot drive shoot from faraway. So Tsubasa's team won.

Furano's captain is the one who held Tsubasa, who fell. Even Hyuga guy approved of Furano's captain.

Furano's captain just realized her confession on the hachimaki, but too late. NamiDai's character helped him get to the airport.

NamiDai's character also notices that Hyuga guy didn't improve much in junior high from the sixth grade that suffered three strong player then.

A letter from the ex-coach? Is it about persuading current captain to get Hyuga guy to participate in the game?

Furano Captain's ver. for ED (again).

Nice episode, very intense. But lol, the "effect" of the last shoot is probably the most unrealistic action of this show for the moment.
Now, I hope Hyuga will play next match. I really like this character.

Nankatsu won thanks a great 'drive shot' of 'Captain Tsubasa'.

How many hearts did 'doki doki' after this episode?

Matsuyama is so cool and HikaruxYoshiko sailed, yatta, even if they will be separated for a while.

Even all Furano ship it, lol!

I think the author is using the formula 'a manager for each great captain' e 'each great captain has his menager'.

I loved Katagiri's role in this episode, he really worries about all the players: Tsubasa, Hyuga and now Matsuyama ...

Captain Tsubasa (2018) will cover the first 24/25 volumes of the manga ('Captain Tsubasa'' has 36 volumes in total+a special) and, actuallt, 'CT' should have reached volume 105.

In 2021 there will be the 40 birthday of 'CT' manga, so, finger cross!

This episode covered chapter 74 and Toho vs Nankatsu's battle will end more less at chapter 84. The manga has 114 chapter so we will missing the adaptation of 30 chapters (all the mini youth world cup stuff) if they extend alot the finals.

Damn, I really didn't expect such emotional farewell, Matsuyama is a great character, I just wish he would have had more screentime during the series.

Actually, I enjoyed the "dramatic" farewell between him and Yoshiko way more than the conclusion of the match. Seriously, that must have been the most anticlimatic way to conclude it, that effect was beyond unrealistic but oh well.

That aside, the next episode will definitely be great since both Tsubasa and Hyuuga will finally face each other. Really excited for it. Go Toho!!

One of the interesting thing is that captain of hokkaido team didn't confess his love back to the girl. Which is very normal because boys develop romantic feeling at older age than girls.

An entire team blocking a single shot. That's insane. Still, my favourite scene will always be Tsubasa spamming his driver shot at that big guy til he flies into the goal. This one isn't half-bad either. Also an entire team running to get a goal, like they're one person. The final goal seems insane too, but enjoyable for an anime like this.

As for that romantic part... Well, the captain could have had a bit better response. And if we are here, this topic:

I would like to read / hear more about that. Mind giving me the info origin?


I'm curious as well. It doesn't seem true. Girls might hit puberty a bit earlier, but that doesn't really have anything to do with it, especially since they're in middle-school. (I don't know exactly which grades does "middle-school" mean, but probably 9th grade or so).

Or if you meant girls develop feelings faster, then I don't know, but they had a long time to develop those feelings.

It's a remake of the 1983 anime, with no fillers and better pacing.

In 'CT 2018' anime you can find:

- the third remake of the 'Elementary Arc' ( 'OG'. 'CTJ', '2002' and '2018')
- the second remake of the 'Middle school arc' ('OG', '2002' and '2018')

In the OG of '80 series they animated also in an episode a special about Taro and, in a movie, a special match.

In the series of '80 Matsuyama said to Yoshiko 'I think that a beautiful feeeling like ours can't end'.

'Ct' is great shonen story with a bit of love and some ships.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I hate the last goal. Furano played so well to earn the equalizer and Tsubasa wrecks all hope with an asspull drive shoot goal to end the match. Furano didn't deserve such a punishment. Besides the game we had a nice and touching romance moment between Matsuyama and Fujiwara. Matsuyama is the real hero of this episode.

'Twas a nice wholesome story between Fujisawa and Matsuyama.

Nice conclusion to the game. I feel like the 2-1 score woulda been better off anyway, the two goals in the end were forced

Tsubasa used the golden ratio when he made that Phoenix drive shoot. Gyro would be proud.

of course tsubasa's drive shoot going to do something like this.

and though this love story is kinda pointless, it still was sweet.

What is with the forwards always having a thing for their managers 💀 dude couldn’t think of any other romantic relationship, just club managers and players.

I’ve been having this thought since I saw tsubasa for the first time.
