== Captain Tsubasa franchise in general ==
 
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Soccer is big in Latin America, and this is a show about soccer. Even though the dub changed all the names and even the name of the show itself, ask any Latino born in the mid-to-late 80s and he will tell you that one of his favorite shows was ''Supercampeones''. In fact, some soccer players cited this show as their reason why they played the sport in the first place.
** Latin America (and Europe) weren't the place. In ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Girls_of_Riyadh: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.
** Interestingly, the ''Captain Tsubasa'' category in Fanfiction.Net--created in the late 1990's or early 2000's--was populated only by non-English fanfiction for the longest time; one of the few categories to have the honor.
* [[Ho Yay]]: While this series was written WAY before the [[Bishonen Jump Syndrome]] kicked in, it still was THE starting point of the biggest pillars from what would become one of the first generations of [[Yaoi]] [[doujinshii]] 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 [[Hilarious in Hindsight|hilariously]], both Izumi ''and'' Road to 2002!Hyuga were voiced by [[Takehito Koyasu]])
* [[Jerk Sue]]: Tsuki W.'s Paola Wakabayashi, from an infamously long fic on Fanfiction.Net. She's also a [[Relationship Sue]] 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 "[[Girls Need Role Models|the strong and feminist woman that every CT girl should've been]]"... but technically she's just a petty, classist, shallow and victimised [[Alpha Bitch]] 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|Complete Monsters]], like Kumi and Schneider's sister Marie). As for examples of her [[Jerk Sue]] 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 [[Out -of -Character Moment|how OOC it is]] [[Non -Idle Rich|for someone like Pierre]] according to his manga backstory.
* [[Relationship Sue]]: The Spanish fringe of the 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.
** The most infamous cases are "Lily del Valle" and "Paola Wakabayashi". The first one is the [[Author Avatar]] 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] [[Jerkass|Jerk Assery]] 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 [[Jerk Jock]] [[Hopeless Suitor]] 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 [[Jerk Sue]] that has the whole CT universe bending over to her whims, but that's something else.
* [[Spiritual Licensee]]: [[Kunio -Kun]]'s Soccer League games.
* [[Woolseyism]] (The names in many dubs were replaced with more local names, they stuck, and to this date, Tsubasa Ohzora and Genzou Wakabayashi are officially known in Latin America and Spain as Oliver Atom and Benji Price)
** "Local" might be a bit of a stretch, as "Pryce" is as much of a Spanish surname as "Wakabayashi" is...
Line 25:
== Captain Tsubasa characters ==
 
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Several characters, among them Tsubasa, Aoi, Ishizaki, and Kumi (who bounces back really fast after {{spoiler|having her crush rejected}})
* [[Die for Our Ship]]: In ''Captain Tsubasa'' fandom, Kumi suffers a lot of this from Tsubasa/Sanae fans, for daring to crush on Tsubasa.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]] (While he has a pretty good [[Freudian Excuse]], 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 [[Character Development]])
Line 33:
* [[Moe]]: Kumi.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: Morisaki. We can't blame him for not able to stop Jito & Sano's trick shoots nor Hyuga's overpowered Tiger Shot, but thanks to Tecmo's game adaptions, where he is ''useless,'' he's sometime considered a [[Chew Toy]] by a fandom.
* [[Ships That Pass in Thethe Night]]: Though there ''was'' a bit of [[Ship Tease]] 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 [[Last -Minute Hookup]] scene ''was'' [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|very cute]].
* [[The Scrappy]]: If there's a non-playing character likely to be hated in the fandom, it's either Kumi or Kanda.
* [[What Measure Is a Non -Badass?]]: 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 [[Values Dissonance]], not her!
* [[The Woobie]]: Misugi, Aoi, Morisaki, Akai, and Roberto.
