Tsubasa Oozora, a prodigious football talent, launches his journey in elementary school upon relocating to Nankatsu City. There, he forges bonds through the sport, notably clashing with elite goalkeeper Genzo Wakabayashi and uniting with Taro Misaki to create the "Golden Duo," a partnership pivotal to their team’s triumphs. A childhood accident involving a football cements his lifelong devotion, encapsulated by his creed, "The ball is my friend." Dominating school tournaments, he ascends to global arenas, joining Brazil’s São Paulo FC under mentor Roberto Hongo. There, he hones signature techniques—the Drive Shoot and Skywing Shoot—leveraging spin and power to outmaneuver goalkeepers. As São Paulo’s captain, he secures victories like the Rio Cup, though his Cyclone technique exposes tactical gaps exploited by rivals. During the World Youth arc, he rejoins Japan’s national team, navigating Misaki’s injury and confronting adversaries like Carlos Santana and Natureza, a prodigy shaped by Roberto. Tsubasa’s adaptability and resolve propel Japan to World Youth Championship glory, culminating in a proposal to Sanae Nakazawa, his steadfast childhood supporter. Transitioning to Europe, he faces FC Barcelona’s intense competition, initially faltering in the reserve team. Guided by veteran Rivaul, he overcomes setbacks, earning a main-squad role. His rivalry with Natureza peaks in a clash against Real Madrid, spotlighting their divergent styles and shared respect. Later, he integrates into Japan’s Olympic squad, bridging domestic and international talents amid strategic exclusions. His versatility as midfielder and forward shines through technical and tactical mastery. A stint with Italy’s Lecce in Serie A tests his adaptability to cultural and tactical challenges, yet his focus remains on Japan’s World Cup ambitions. Tsubasa’s journey epitomizes perseverance and collective idealism. Rivalries with Kojiro Hyuga and Wakabayashi mature into mutual respect, solidifying his role as a unifying force. Injuries and emotional trials are met with unyielding resolve, underscoring his commitment to team triumph over personal acclaim.
