\u258d<\/span>A Familiar Scene Is Replaced<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Right away at the beginning of the first episode, there\u2019s a huge difference in a once familiar setting as Tokyo is showcased and a modern building is shown instead of the rural neighborhood that Tsubasa\u2019s family once inhabited in the manga. With this switch in setting, one could see the reasoning of switching from a rural Japanese neighborhood to the modern inner city of Tokyo, Japan. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u258d<\/span>10 Years Later…<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Captain<\/a><\/p>\n

In the manga, the indication of \u201c<\/span>10 years later<\/span><\/i>\u201d is shown through a single panel in the manga, while in the anime, an entirely new scene is added to showcase the context of Tsubasa\u2019s father\u2019s job as a marine captain. Being away most of the time due to his work at sea, Tsubasa is raised mostly by his mother. This is indicated by his father showing Tsubasa off to his co-worker in his soccer uniform and how he\u2019s unable to be there for their arrival at their new home in Nankatsu. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u258d<\/span>Tsubasa Dribbling Montage <\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Captain<\/a><\/p>\n

As excited as Tsubasa is for exploring the new city, one can catch a glimpse of him showing off his skills as he makes his way around. Dodging obstacles, outrunning joggers, and making his way through a crowded market while dribbling his soccer ball before making a quick stop to catch a glimpse of his new school, Nankatsu Elementary. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u258d<\/span>Goalkeeper Wakabayashi\u2019s Montage<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Captain<\/a><\/p>\n

As Tsubasa continues\u00a0exploring the city, he comes across a soccer field that\u2019s inhabited by both the Nankatsu and Shutetsu team quarreling on about who gets ownership of the field. A challenge is set up by Wakabayashi. If any team can score a single goal against him, Nankatsu can keep the field. In both the manga and anime, Wakabayashi is showcased successfully blocking a rugby ball, handball, and a baseball. Here, there are five additional blocks by Wakabayashi which are shown off as a tennis ball, a basketball, a hockey puck, a volleyball, and even a javelin!! WHOA! Wakabayashi really is an all-star goalkeeper! <\/span><\/p>\n

\u258d<\/span>Tsubasa\u2019s Handwritten Message<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As Ryo and Tsubasa stand on top of the hill overlooking the city. Tsubasa asks Ryo where Wakabayashi\u2019s house is located at. In the manga, Tsubasa quickly writes a message with a marker and immediately kicks the ball towards Wakabayashi\u2019s mansion. In the anime, Tsubasa shows off some of his skills by kicking the soccer ball straight up in the air and catching it with ease as it heads straight back down, before asking Ryo for the location of Wakabayashi\u2019s house. Once confirmed, he walks over to a small wooden shrine and uses one of the markers to write his message to Wakabayashi on his soccer ball. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u258d<\/span>Ryo and Tsubasa\u2019s Ice Cream Break<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Captain<\/a><\/p>\n

In this scene that\u2019s not depicted in the manga, Ryo and Tsubasa share a popsicle while Ryo encourages Tsubasa on defeating Wakabayashi. A very short scene but very light hearted and it\u2019s a small break before the big climax of the ending approaches!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u258d<\/span>Uniform Changes<\/b>
\n<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Captain<\/a><\/h3>\n

One of the most interesting changes regarding both Tsubasa and Wakabayashi are their uniforms! For any hardcore nostalgic fans, can you spot the difference? Wakabayashi\u2019s famous \u201cAdidas\u201d logo has been replaced with the letter \u201cW\u201d and while the letter \u201cT\u201d has made an appearance on Tsubasa\u2019s uniform. I wonder what the significance of these letters could mean, hmmm?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"Captain<\/a><\/p>\n

GOAL!!! That\u2019s it for episode one of <\/span>Captain Tsubasa<\/b><\/a>! Apart from a few additional scenes, it has stayed faithful to the manga so far. Who knows? Maybe there will a tremendous change in episode two. Let the nostalgia flow through your veins and prepare for the next episode <\/span>Captain Tsubasa Episode Two: It\u2019s Flying!<\/b><\/p>\n
