Captain Tsubasa: Sekai Daikessen!! Jr. World Cup (1986 film)

Captain Tsubasa: Sekai Daikessen!! Jr. World Cup (キャプテン翼世界大決戦!! Jr.ワールドカップ, translated as Captain Tsubasa: World Great Battle! Jr. World Cup) is the fourth movie and the final installment of the 1983 original anime era. It was released on July 12, 1986.

Plot[]

In this film, the classical Japan vs Europe matches becomes intercontinental. This time, it is arranged a world cup with four teams: All Japan Jr., United States Jr., All Europe Jr., and All South America Jr. In the first match, All Japan Jr. easily defeats 3:0 against USA Jr. In the second match All Europe Jr. loses 2:3 against All South America Jr.

In the finals round, All South America Jr. shows their triumphant card, "soccer cyborg" Carlos Santana, a more than supreme player who seems to be undefeatable. All their classical tricks like Hyuga's Tiger Shot or Tsubasa's Drive Shot seem to be totally worthless against Santana and the keeper Gonzales, but in a hard and spectacular match the Japanese learn more and more to play in unison and finally they get the win. The film ends with Roberto telling Tsubasa that he will be eager to see him playing in Brazil with him as a mentor.

Trivia[]

In France, this movie was numbered as the 3rd Movie and Captain Tsubasa: Run towards tomorrow! as the 4th Movie, which has led into confusion when dubbed in some countries.
Juan Diaz, Ramon Victorino and Santana made their debut in this movie, but are shown in a version different than that of their manga counterparts.
In the Italain dub, Carlos Santana is known as Francisco Santana and Sylvester Luke is called Sandy Luke.
In the Latin-American dub, Juan Diaz is sometimes known as Manuel Diaz and Ramon Victorino is called Lopez.
All South America Jr. Youth uses the Brazilian flag instead of a South America representative flag. Even the official colors use the yellow/green Brazil characteristic colors for the jersey (with also the rhombus and circle from the Brazilian flag as team badge).
The Junior Youth World Cup is played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Stadium.
