Ok, who in their right mind would put Fudou Akio over there? Did they srsly forget the whole Shin Teikoku thing?

Therealflorist

Bro, there are two Aliea members on the team. Why are you nt concerned about that?

StarTracker

Imean, they were manipulated and abused into it. I blame Kira Seijirou more

Therealflorist

Doesn’t change the fact taht they hospitalized a lot of people adn were basically terrorists

StarTracker

How about blaming the adults in the situation instead of literal children?

Therealflorist

They’re not toddlers. They should knwo right from wrong by now. The fact that they went along with it says a lot imo

thriftstorejunkie

And the fact taht you refuse to acknowledge how emotional abuse can screw people over says a lot about you

StarTracker

For real. I’m so tired of people blaming the kids when we have evidence that they were manipulated into it. And Hiroto was named after Kira Seijirou’s dead son. You can’t say that’s not grooming.

LongLiveThePenguins

The gall to blame the kids for trusting their father. Istg people really don’t think before typing

soccerenthusaist

Everyone, keep things civil. This is a blog about Inazuma Japan. Nothing more, nothing less.

StarTracker

Even if we’re right?

og-raimon-fan

I’m just so happy that so many of them are Raimon players. I remember back when Raimon barely had any members and would just throw Endou at whatever team they were facing in the Football Frontier. They’re come so far.

soccerenthusiast

So true. Endou’s such a good captain. Wouldn’t be surprised if he makes Inazuma Japan the best in the world too.

og-raimon-fan

He will. He’s Endou.

LongLiveThePenguins

I like how that just explains everything about him. “He’s Endou.” lmao

Public Outrage at Inazuma Japan’s Members

The members of Inazuma Japan were recently announced and the public isn’t happy with some of the players. Coach Kudou Michiya conducted an interview to address the issues.

…

StarTracker: Dude, I love this new coach

StarTracker: The way he defended his players is exactly what IJ’s coach needs to have

readinginthecorner: He seems like a level-headed guy. I expect good things from him

astro-break: eh, I kind of want Hibiki back. We barely know anything about this guy

soccerenthusiast: Hibiki’s with them as the manager. So ig it’s like having two coaches

Teikokusupremacy: I’m not sure how much I appreciate Fudou Akio still being on the team tho. Call me judgemental or whatever but are we sure we can trust this guy?

yourgrandma: Last time, Kageyama was involved. How do we know that he wasn’t manipulating Fudou last time? And weren’t Sakuma and Genda also there? How come they don’t ever get the same suspicion? 

kageyamaforprison: I’m willing to bet it was Kageyama behind all of that. He screwed over kids before. Remember that time he tried to murder Raimon in the Football Frontier regional finals?

catindisguise: Sorry, I’m new to this, but Kageyama did WHAT?

kageyamaforprison: Look up the Raimon vs Teikoku match. You’ll see.

StarTracker: Never thought of it that way but you’re right. Kageyama isn’t much different from Kira Seijirou now that I think about it.

catindisguise: Holy shit what did I jsut watch?

catindisguise: How did this guy not get arrested?

fuck-kageyama-reiji-and-not-in-that-way: He did. Then he escaped. Then he died.

kageyamaforprison: no one found a dead body so i don’t buy his death at all. Wouldn’t put it past kageyama to fake his death. Love your username btw.

Yeah, IJ is a pretty new team. The Big Waves have been in the tournament for years now. There’s no way Australia loses to Japan

og-raimon-fan

Sure, you gusy have experience, but we have an Endou

KangarooNation

You know that one person can’t win against a whole team, right? And Endou’s a goalkeeper. Not much he can do on the field.

Guys, I love the Endou glaze and he deserves all good things in the world, but let’s not forget the other great players we have like Gouenji, Kidou, Fubuki and the rest

sakuramochi

True. Like, most of these guys fought Aliea Gakuen (or were Aliea Gakuen in case of two certain people). They’ll have no trouble against a bunch of humans after that

What’s Aliea Gakuen?

fallingstars

@soccerenthusiast since you’re the go to person for information on IJ, I wanted to ask you about this whole “cursed coach” situation with the coach.

soccerenthusiast

Idk at the moment. Sounds like baseless rumours to me. And there must be a reason he was selected, so i don’t think a bunch of rumours should affect anything currently. Although it would be nice if someone spoke up about those.

penguin-from-outer-space

Yeah, this whole thing seems really sketchy to me. Idk what to think atm

detectiveconan2.0

I know someone who was trained by Kudou a while back and they’ve never had anything bad to say about the guy. I can ask them about it but i’m not promising any answers.

fallingstars

Dude, you’re a life saver

Standing in front of the seats is Endou Mamoru with his hands on his hip, wearing an exasperated look. Next to him is Kidou Yuuto, having a scolding expression with his arms crossed.

og-raimon-fan

I wonder why they’re in the hospital. Hope everything’s okay

soccerenthusiast

Okay, I knwo I shouldn’t eavesdrop but in my defense, endou is loud. And apparently, Gouenji accidentally hit Tachimukai in the face with a Fire Tornado during practice.

og-raimon-fan

Ouch. The list of Gouenji’s victims keeps growing ig

StarTracker

Not the baby Endou. Hope Tachi’s ok

soccerenthusiast

From what I gather, he’s fine. Ig he’s taken worst hits with the whole Aliea Gakuen thing, and the crazy training Raimon keepers do

og-raimon-fan

Yeah, Tachi’s got to have a strong skull after all that. But Gouenji’s Fire Tornado isn’t somethingto take lightly either

LongLiveThePenguins

No wonder Endou adn Kidou are looking at him like that

catindisguise

Wait, so Gouenji’s hit people before?

og-raimon-fan

Yeah. He’s hit Endou, Fubuki, Someoka, and I think Kidou (there was a rumour about it)

It’s how he communicates

Did the coach just put in a completely new player?

#ffi #inazuma japan #japan vs australia #the coach’s got balls

soccerenthusiast

I think I’ve heard of him. He used to be a pretty big deal in our neighbourhood but I stopped hearing about him after a while. Weird thing is, I thought he was, like, really young. Didn’t think they’d let an elementary schooler in the FFI.

sakuramochi

I’m sorry, elementary school???

He’s a baby????

My little brother was on the same team as him.

Can confirm. He’s definitely a baby

Bakunetsu Screw would like a word with you

sakuramochi

Wouldn’t have been possible without toramaru’s assist though

flamestrikerstan

But gouenji made the goal. He should get the credit

soccerenthusiast

I’d say they were both astounding today. Gouenji created a new hisstasu out of thin air (which usually take months of practice) adn Toramaru pretty much cleared the entire way with his dribbling

Sidenote: Shoutout to Tsunami for his new hissatsu too. And Endou for stopping the goal. ANd Kidou for breaking Box Lock Defense

og-raimon-fan

@sakuramochi @soccerenthusiast don’t bother arguing with the gouenji stan. They don’t really care about anyone on the team but Gouenji and they pretty much give him all the credit for everything. Trust me, I’ve been there before

Actually, it is unusual. But it’s a good thing nonetheless.

I am concerned about the heat though.

I’m just glad Fubuki is getting to shine in this match

StarTracker: That’s an aggressive lineup

catindisguise: they only have one half and they’re two goals behind

I guess they were conserving stamina? Makes sense with the heat.

Also, I like the title “Japan’s Miracle” for Endou. It suits him.

sakuramochi

Probably. That clearly screwed over Midorikawa

Thanks btw!

soccerenthusiast

At least they brought in another defender. Although that does make me wonder what Tobitaka can or can’t do. He hasn’t done anything much since he got selected.

sakuramochi

What are the odds that he’s another hidden talent like Toramaru?

soccerenthusiast

Pretty high ngl. He’d have to be insanely good to make the national team despite never having competed in a tournament before.

Damn just as we were about to win

soccerenthusiast

There’s still time. Worst comes to worst, we’d have to go in overtime.

og-raimon-fan

I like the optimism but that keeper just stopped Bakunetsu Storm. I don’t think IJ has a stronger technique. Kiyama and Fubuki are both benched and I don’t think Toramaru has a hissatsu shoot. Not that he would shoot anyway it seems.

soccerenthusiast

I mean, there is Bakunetsu Screw. And it wouldn’t be the first time one of the players end up creating hissatsu out of nowhere like Gouenji and Tsunami did in the Big Waves match.

(Image shows Gouenji in the post match interview with a mic in front of him. His words are captioned at the bottom of the picture: “It worked, didn’t it?” Next to him, Endou gives him a sheepish side-eye)
