Has Captain Tsubasa ever won a world cup? Or like Ash he has never won anything?

Yes, Captain Tsubasa's Japan football team was OP as fuck

They beat:

Uruguay 6-5
Italy 4-0
Sweden 1-0
Netherlands 1-0
Brazil 3-2

...this looks like a yaoi cover.

 

[Replicant]

Praise Our Haruhi......

Those man buns......

 

[Deleted member 284]

KnB gifs just upset because the series is actually hot garbage and wasted all that great animation.

But they went to space...SPACE!!!

No, this looks like a yaoi cover.

Also captain tsubasa based on real life events confirmed:

Has Captain Tsubasa ever won a world cup? Or like Ash he has never won anything?

Spoiler

Of course he has

No one fails like ash, no one

 

[kewlmyc]

Is this porn?

Also, I hope Miku is part of the Opening ceremony just to confuse the fuck out of the rest of the world. It won't be, but it'll be funny.

 

[Extollere]

Give me the waifu Japan!

...don't disappoint me!!

 

[FO-totality]

B-b-b-booty.

 

[Forkball]

Notice how it was old school anime and not some garbage starring little girls wearing bikinis. Even Japan knows that stuff is to worth showing off.

I do think there will be a Miku/hologram concert at the opening ceremony in 2020 though.

[Vulcano's assistant]

Would Captain Tsubasa count as football or as 5000m track & field?

 

[Avixph]

babymetal or bust

Nah that's too dangerous.

 

[Peru]

We now have three Asian olympic games in a row.

 

[MikeHattsu]

The Idolm@ster singing opening ceremony will redeem everything

I voted for µ's


;P

Callie Marie concert or bust.

 

[PsychBat!]

We anime now.

anime is here!!!

 

[Nachos]

Now do I watch the Olympics subbed or dubbed?

 

[RetroDLC]

I'm hoping for a clip of Ippo going off on a rant about how amateur boxing is corrupt to the core.

 

[Trojita]

That is a magnificent butt.

 

[Funky Papa]

I think most folks at the Rio 2016 OT have already seen it, but for those who were sleeping during the closing ceremony and/or don't peruse the Gaming side, here it is (before the IOC takes it down/geoblocks it anyway because the IOC gotta IOC)

Vimeo
Twitter video

Honestly, even if you take the whole vidja/animu thing out of the picture (and it would be a mistake, it's rare to see a country embracing its popular culture like Japan) it's still a gorgeous video.

Tokyo 2020 is already looking amazing and it's still four years away.

 

[Trojita]

Banzai!

Spoiler

Crazy good visuals

 

[Funky Papa]

Dupe? Oh well. This is what happens when I take my time making jifs.

 

[andrerobot]

2020, the year the Olympics went weeaboo!

 

[Trojita]

Why did Funky Papa close his thread? I hope it wasn't the Banzai!? That was meant as a celebratory thing.

Edit: Cool

 

[FO-totality]

American football back at the Olympics when????

 

[Funky Papa]

Thread merged and now updated with GLORIOUS JIFS.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Neo-Tokyo is about to E.X.P.L.O.D.E... with the spirit of Olympic sportsmanship.

I honestly thought the thread got shut down because someone from NBC contacted GAF, lol.

 

[Nightengale]

*binges sports anime in preparation for 2020*

I wonder if any of the mangas will have Olympic arcs (or a fictional equivalent) leading up to the games.

Tsubasa currently is in the Olympics arc

 

[Trojita]

I wonder if they'll include any of their religion / mythology into the opening or as motifs.

 

[Bishop89]

this is going to be amazing.

Im making sure i go to japan in 2020.

 

[Funky Papa]

Stolen from IMGUR

How the olympic flame will be lit (i hope)

 

[turmoil]

Who would have thought that the only thing rugby needed to catch attention was fanservice

 

[witchedwiz]

I'll be there for sure
Japan + olympic win/win

Is there any preliminary schedule for the locations?
I'll have to prepare a schedule for my night stayings as well

 

[andrerobot]

Nice gifs, Funky Papi.

 

[sechsterangriff]

The whole thing was just awesome. Also, did they just ended the whole thing with the Super Mario level complete theme?

 

[Poyunch]

Shoulda showed some hype-ass Ping Pong.

 

[toastyToast]

I'm gonna be disappointed when we get to the olympics and it's not at least 90% anime.

 

[Kazuhira]

Kinda want to learn japanese,it would be nice if my first trip to japan was during the Olympics.

Walkure is the only correct answer.

Those who promote Ippo is just sad. They don't know the great JOEEEEEE.^_^

 

[Hot Coldman]

Araki should design the entire opening ceremony.

oh

oh my god

YES DO THIS JAPAN

 

[LurkerPrime]

This is amazing. I didn't think anything could hype me for Olympics that are far away... but here we are.

 

[KNT-Zero]

I was laughing my ass off when I watched Mario's appearance. And they even put the music from finishing a level in SMB! Daaaaaaaaamn.

 

[broncobuster]

Obligatory

...I should catch up on Prince of Tennis one of these days.

 

[Azuran]

Holy crap, I'm dying here.

So If we were to assign an anime to an olympic sport how would it shake out?

Boxing - Hajime no Ippo
Soccer - Captain Tsubasa
Basketball - Slam Dunk
Judo - Yawara

Are the ones that come to mind for me.

Beyblade - Beyblade

 

[donkey show]

 

[Won]

And there I thought with all the news surrounding Rio, Russia and Quatar, Tokyo might for once actually provide a big sporting event, which isn't a total embarrassment for the human race.

I should have known better!



But cool video. Really looking forward to it.
