Captain Tsubasa: Rising Sun (Japanese: キャプテン翼 ライジングサン, Hepburn: Kyaputen Tsubasa Raijingu San) is the definitive modern chapter of Yoichi Takahashi’s legendary football saga. Serialized since 2013 (first in Grand Jump, then in Captain Tsubasa Magazine), it represents the culmination of Tsubasa Ozora's journey as he leads the Japanese Olympic team (U-23) toward the Madrid Olympics.

In this arc, the stakes are at an all-time high. Tsubasa, fresh from his success with FC Barcelona, reunites with the "Golden Generation" of Japanese football—including Kojiro Hyuga, Genzo Wakabayashi, and Taro Misaki. Their goal is no longer just to participate, but to dominate the world stage by defeating giants like Germany, Brazil, and the host nation, Spain.
