The plot of the final installment of Captain Tsubasa centers on the intense match-up between Japan and Holland. After suffering two consecutive losses against their superior rivals, the Japanese squad's morale hits rock bottom. Even star player Hyuga, nursing an injured leg, feels despondent. To turn the tide, the team management leaves no stone unturned in trying to convince Wakabayashi (residing in Germany) and Tsubasa (based in Brazil) to lend their talents to the ailing squad in Holland, but both refuse. In a thrilling twist, Tsubasa unexpectedly shows up in the second half of the third match, fortifying his team with his presence and skill. The captain's return unleashes a newfound vigor and confidence in his teammates, ultimately leading them to crush Holland 11-1 to end the series triumphantly.
