Trivia[]
- The Rising Sun storyline has the longest manga run from all Captain Tsubasa arcs to date.
- Prior to the official announcement of Rising Sun - The Final, Yoichi Takahashi had already mentioned the possibility of Rising Sun being the final manga story arc, given his age, during the interview with ORICON NewS in September 2021.
- Also in said interview, it is suggested that the story will still continue on via the game Captain Tsubasa: Tatakae Dream Team, with Next Dream being the story arc that takes place after Rising Sun. However, with Rising Sun - The Final being announced, Next Dream effectively becomes the sequel (though not yet official) of said arc instead.
