Later in the series, Yuria, a rather confrontational player who often gets in fights with You, also makes it clear that she's too gifted to be nice about it.

The show is typical of the 80's sports animes (such as ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'') and, true to its nature, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff it garnered its main success in Europe, especially France, Italy and Spain]]. Even though it is considered a classic in its native Japan, its fame up there is nowhere near as big as it is in the aforementioned countries. The anime was produced by none other than Knack of "Charge Man Ken" infamy, becoming (by virtue of the show's success in Europe) perhaps its biggest international success, and while the animation in some episodes approaches "Charge Man Ken" awfulness, it's quite good in many others.

** In addition, the European dubs created a [[Macekre connection]] between this show and Manga/AttackNumberOne that wasn't present in the original Japanese, by making You (Mila/Jeanne/Juana) a cousin of the earlier series' heroine, Kozue Ayuhara (who coincidentally is named Mila in the German dub of ''Attack No. 1'').

* BaitAndSwitchCredits: Based on the opening sequences and especially the theme song lyrics of the Italian, French, and Spanish dubs, one would be given to think a "romance" between You and Sho (aka Mila and Shiro, Jeanne and Serge, Juana and Sergio) is the central point of the show. It isn't - in fact, Sho isn't even the only male character You develops a crush on. (The Italian OP takes the original Japanese sequence and added scenes from the series itself to make it seem more like a romance than it really is.)


Added DiffLines:

* DubNameChange: Many of the characters' names were changed in foreign dubs, especially in French and Spanish (less so in Italian, where Nami, who became "Peggy" in French and Spanish, is still Nami).
