The Japanese team in World Youth

Battle of World Youth (BWY) is the fourth story arc of the storyline of the Captain Tsubasa series, which covers the events after the J Boys' Challenge arc (the end of the original manga series). The name was first used in the 2006 Shueisha Jump Remix (SJR) version of the manga, where the story arcs where divided in a clearer way.

BWY covers the manga Saikyo no Teki! Holanda Youth and World Youth Hen, as well as the chapters from the manga adapted to the anime Saikyo no Teki! Holanda Youth and Captain Tsubasa J.

Plot[]

Netherlands Youth[]

Tsubasa in Brazil[]

Tsubasa leaves Japan for Brazil, and starts playing for Sao Paulo FC in Brazil's premier professional league, Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, with his mentor Roberto as the manager. While in Brazil, Tsubasa gets to meet several talented Brazilian players, such as his teammate and roommate Pepe, who comes from humble backgrounds to become one of the primary playmakers in the squad along with Tsubasa, and CR Flamengo's ace Carlos Santana, a prodigious talent.

Aoi in Italy[]

Enthusiastic football-loving youngster Shingo Aoi, whom Tsubasa once played against while in the high school national championships, leaves Japan to play football in Italy, where he hopes to play for a major Italian professional team. After arriving in Italy, however, Aoi gets tricked by a man who gives him fraudulent promises of getting him selected for an Italian team, and ends up losing all his money. Having realized that he is swindled, Aoi tries hard to get his money back, doing jobs such as shoeshining, and his enthusiastic attitude catches the eye of one of the staff of Inter Milan, who recommend him to the coach of their squad.

Asian preliminaries[]

All Japan Youth has to play the AFC Youth Championship qualification without Taro Misaki, Makoto Soda, Hiroshi Jito, Shun Nitta, the Tachibana twins and Kojiro Hyuga. After Tsubasa, Wakabayashi and Aoi join the team, they manage to defeat Thailand 5-4 after being led 4-1. In the AFC Youth Championship, Japan beats Uzbekistan 8-1, UAE 6-0, China 6-3 and Saudi Arabia 4-1. In the semifinals Japan beats Iraq 3-0. The Japanese win the Asia Youth title beating South Korea 2-0 and qualifying for the World Youth tournament.

World Youth tournament[]

In the first phase Japan defeats Mexico 2-1, Uruguay 6-5 and Italy 4-0. They then beat Sweden 1-0 and Netherlands 1-0 in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively. In the "Grand Final", they defeat Brazil 3-2 after extra time with Tsubasa scoring a hat-trick and the golden goal despite the fact that Brazil used a new player at the extra time called Natureza, who became the second person to score a goal on Wakabayashi from outside the penalty area.

Tsubasa moves from Sao Paulo to FC Barcelona, in the Spanish La Liga, after the end of the World Youth Championship final, taking his childhood friend and now wife, Sanae. He asked her out before moving to Brazil, and the couple maintained a long-distance relationship before he proposed to her after the World Youth Championship.
