History YMMV / CaptainTsubasa

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Soccer is big in Latin America and Europe, and this is a show about soccer. Even though the dub changed all the names and the name of the show itself, ask any Latino born in the mid-to-late [=80s=], or European born in the early-to-mid 80s, and he will tell you that one of his favorite shows was this was (''Supercampeones'' in Latin America and ''Oliver & Benji'' in Europe). In fact, some soccer players cited this show as their reason why they played the sport in the first place.

* JerkassWoobie: Hyûga, Espada and Levin are revealed as shining examples of this. They have ''extremely'' good reasons to not be super nice guys, bur that's '''not''' an excuse for the way they treat other people.
** Don't forget Carlos Santana.

* ValuesDissonance: Several of Hyuuga's conflicts in-story cross with extremely Japanese views of teamwork and sportsmanship, so it's very easy to misjudge either him or the ones he's clashing with. I.e., when [[spoiler: he was "grounded" by Kitazume-sensei for having run away from the team to train]], this was supposed to be seen as an example of [[spoiler: "'''never''' put your own interests over the team's, and if you do, you deserve punishment"]], but Western viewers sided with Hyuuga instead as they believed that [[spoiler: Kitazume was unreasonably severe since Hyuga did everything because he wanted to recover his lost fighting spirit.]]

* TheWoobie: Misugi, Aoi, Morisaki, Akai, and Roberto once you learn his DarkAndTroubledPast.

* JerkassWoobie: Hyûga, Espada and Levin are revealed as shining examples of this. They have ''extremely'' good reasons to not be super nice guys, bur that's '''not''' an excuse for the way they treat other people.

** Due to a limited budget most dubs use the same voice actor for the matches' commentaries. What is amazing about this is that there are times that two matches are happening at the same time and the commentator is the same.

* HilariousinHindsight: In TheNineties TakehitoKoyasu voiced Takuto Izumi from ''{{Zetsuai 1989}}'', an obvious Hyuga {{Expy}}. Flashforward more than 10 years... and guess ''who'' voices Adult!Hyuuga in ''Road to 2002''?

* TheWoobie: Misugi, Aoi, Morisaki, Akai, and Roberto.

** Latin America and Europe weren't the place. In ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_of_Riyadh Girls of Riyadh]]'' it mentions in the introductory or first chapter that it was huge in the Middle East and that children grew up watching the dub.

In fact, some soccer players cited this show as their reason why they played the sport in the first place.

* HoYay: While this series was written WAY before the BishonenJumpSyndrome kicked in, it still was THE starting point of the biggest pillars from what would become one of the first generations of {{yaoi}} {{doujinshi}} authors. In fact, Minami Ozaki from {{Zetsuai 1989}} fame began her career as a Hyuuga/Wakashimazu doujinshi author -- it's still very noticeable in how Takuto Izumi, one of the Zetsuai male leads, is pretty much what Hyuuga would've been if CT ''was'' a yaoi series. (And [[HilariousInHindsight hilariously]], both Izumi ''and'' Road to 2002!Hyuga were voiced by TakehitoKoyasu)
* JerkSue: Tsuki W.'s Paola Wakabayashi, from an infamously long fic on Fanfiction.Net. She's also a RelationshipSue since she mostly exists to be Ken Wakashimazu's one true love from childhood, but Paola also doubles as this because in Tsuki's own words she's "[[GirlsNeedRoleModels the strong and feminist woman that every CT girl should've been]]"... but technically she's just a petty, classist, shallow and victimised AlphaBitch from Hell who treats the people around her like shit yet is still unconditionally adored and loved by everyone around her (and those who don't are turned into pretty much {{Complete Monster}}s, like Kumi and Schneider's sister Marie). As for examples of her JerkSue nature, eh, better check [[http://paste.plurk.com/show/1004266/ this plurk paste that has her blurb on the now example-less Jerk Sue page]].
* {{Narm}}: Who the HELL would ride a horse through the streets of modern Paris to reach a soccer stadium? Why, Monsieur El Si Pierre, of course! This scene courtesy of Road to 2002, and made even more nosensical when we realize [[OutOfCharacterMoment how OOC it is]] [[NonIdleRich for someone like Pierre]] according to his manga backstory.

** The most infamous cases are "Lily del Valle" and "Paola Wakabayashi". The first one is the AuthorAvatar of a lady with a similar first name and a mad obsession with Genzo Wakabayashi, who's written almost 100 fics in which Lily is Genzo's One True Love, not to mention [[http://literaturainfernal.wordpress.com/2009/01/18/de-fans-tarados-y-de-otros-que-necesitan-un-resort-en-el-loquero-o-la-triste-historia-de-lily-wakabayashi-actualizado-040910/ she's got a VERY polemic reputation in fandom due to plagiarism and all around]] {{Jerk Ass}}ery towards her critics (Link in Spanish). The second, written by a former BFF of sorts of Lily, is Genzo's bitchy cousin and Ken Wakashimazu's Super true Love, also adored by many other males (her ex-boyfriend Schneider, her stepbrother El Si Pierre, her JerkJock HopelessSuitor Ryoma Hino ''and'' the already mentioned and constantly-abused boyfriend Ken Wakashimazu love her to boot, despite her shabby treatment of all of them.) She's also a huge JerkSue that has the whole CT universe bending over to her whims, but that's something else.

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Though there ''was'' a bit of ShipTease between [[spoiler: Yukari]] and [[spoiler: Ishizaki]] in WYC, it was easy to miss it until [[spoiler: he asked her out while laying on the infimary during the match against Brazil]]. To be fair, the LastMinuteHookUp scene [[http://www.mangareader.net/295-21018-75/captain-tsubasa-world-youth/chapter-63.htmlin]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/295-21018-76/captain-tsubasa-world-youth/chapter-63.html itself]] ''was'' [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming really adorable]].

(And [[HilariousInHindsight hilariously]], both Izumi ''and'' Road to 2002!Hyuga were voiced by TakehitoKoyasu)

* DieForOurShip: In ''Captain Tsubasa'' fandom, Kumi suffers a lot of this from Tsubasa/Sanae fans, for daring to crush on Tsubasa.
* DracoInLeatherPants (While he has a pretty good FreudianExcuse, fangirls forget how much of an abusive JerkAss Hyûga was to his rivals at first, as well as how many times his bad temper and arrogance has brought him genuine trouble ''after'' his CharacterDevelopment)

* HilariousinHindsight: In TheNineties TakehitoKoyasu voiced Takuto Izumi from ''Zetsuai'', an obvious Hyuga {{Expy}}. Flashforward more than 10 years... and guess ''who'' voices Adult!Hyuuga in ''Road to 2002''?

To be fair, the LastMinuteHookUp scene ''was'' [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming very cute]].

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: Sanae's pluckiness and cheerful disposition is often ignored or handwaved by fangirls, who bash her by falsely accusing her of being "weak", "a stalker" and "a bad example for girls" because she's less tomboyish as time passes. Blame the ValuesDissonance, not her!

* RelationshipSue: The Spanish fringe of the ''CaptainTsubasa'' fandom gives us ''hundreds'' of Relationship Sues who only seem to exist to bang almost every handsome soccer player on sight, slobber all over their love interests, be a bitch to other girls (specially Kumi or Marie Schneider) and be presented as a saint and perfect in every way even when you want to strangle them. Even worse, the Suethors often go to the extreme of '''borrowing each other's Mary Sues''', co-writing monstrosities in which their Sues are [=BFFs=] and help each other snag the hot guys they want.

* {{Jerkass}}: Hyûga, Salvatore, and Kanda before their they came JerkWithAHeartOfGold. Espadas as well.

* {{Jerkass}}: Hyûga and Kanda before their CharacterDevelopment.
