Special Cards from Yoichi Takahashi
Takahashi, the author of “Captain Tsubasa”, drew brand new illustrations of both eFootball™ ambassadors Lionel Messi and Takefusa Kubo. In the drawings, both players are wearing eFootball™ original uniforms inspired by the “Nankatsu Junior High School” from the original comic.
By completing other events, users can also obtain cross-over cards with characters and real- life players including “Hikaru Matsuyama” x Joshua Kimmich and “Ryo Ishizaki” x Dayot Upamecano.
In-game events featuring “Captain Tsubasa”
There will be multiple events in eFootball™ during the campaign period.
In the ‘Time Attack Event’, users can control characters from “Captain Tsubasa”, such as “Tsubasa Ozora” himself and “Taro Misaki”. They will compete against the clock to reach the goal. At each stage, users will collect ‘pieces’ that come together to complete a piece of “Captain Tsubasa” artwork. These can lead to users acquiring unique avatars for their profiles in addition to various in-game items gathered too.
In the ‘Daily Bonus’, users can control the anime characters to score penalty kicks and earn rewards.
A total of 10 “Captain Tsubasa” characters will be available to use at random including “Tsubasa Ozora”, “Kojiro Hyuga”, and “Hikaru Matsuyama”.
