 In a review of the "New Captain Tsubasa" OVAs, THEM Anime Reviews noted that while the voice actor Akari Hibino is using a high-pitched voice for Tsubasa, the voice sounded strange and comparing it with Goku, the main character of the anime "Dragon Ball" because both characters are played by women regardless of their growth.According to David Martinez of "Hobby Consolas", after Tsubasa's Barcelona debut, Tsubasa and his friends return to Japan to play for their country but their situation within the European clubs is more entertaining.A writer for "Nippon" said Tsubasa had become one of the most likable fictional characters because of his dream and career, which influenced others.
