I'm currently planning to rewrite analysis I had posted on Twitter and Bluesky and making new ones... lot of them are pretty old (from 2024) so I definitely not only need to rephrase them to blog post format but also adding new information and thoughts to them
Lore Analysis
Gouenji and self-sacrifice (Gouenji and Kidou comparison)
Kidou and his (lack of) feelings over being put on pedestal
Kidou is kind of a prick actually (Kidou's selfishness)
Sakuma as a character who is defined by his love for another
Sakuma's emotional intelligence in Team K arc
Why did Sakuma say "I can't see your world?" in Shin Teikoku arc?
Nishiki's cultural gap experience
Kazemaru's mental breakdown in S2
Sakuma and Kidou's shared eye symbolism
Penguin symbolisms (likely need to make separate posts for them LOL):
Emperor penguin No.1's recoil damage is a symbolism of hate
Emperor penguin No.3 as a symbolism of the trio breaking themselves away from abuse and the cycle
How the penguins evolve and their metaphors
Character Design Analysis
Why is Hiroto so pale?
Sakuma's design analysis using color and shape theory
Analysis of GO's Raimon character designs (groups by school years and Break Trio)
Headcanons
Butch lesbian Kirino
Sakuma's family background
i like you. have an upscaled inazuma eleven kujimate
I see a lot of people saying that EnNatsu came out of nowhere. As one of the biggest shipper pf this fic, I decided to compile the standout EnNatsu moments and see exactly how much they developed through out all the three seasons of the OG series.
The first episode introduces both characters and their dynamic effectivey. Natsumi threatens to disband the soccer club if they don't win against Teikoku Gakuen in their first ever match, which obviously makes Endou angry — so much so that he's fuming even when talking to the team.
This scene sets the tone for most of their initial interactions going forward: they bicker and push each other's buttons even as they slowly start to strive for the same goal. Natsumi is condescending at times but she also helps the team in her own way, and Endou is generally a happy person, but no one can annoy him like Natsumi can.
It's subtle but as Natsumi slowly becomes integrated into the team, they start having some more friendlier interactions even aside from Natsumi informing them about the matches and stuff.
Slowly, they become friends.
Their bickering also becomes more friendly instead of being just about Natsumi threatening to disband the club or about Natsumi picking at Endou's passion for soccer.
Like at the end of episode 16 when Endou and Aki visit Natsumi and her father in the hospital.
Natsumi immediately notices Endou's injury and is genuinely happy to hear that the team won their match, two things she never would have done in the start of the season.
The argument that comes after it is about Endou misunderstanding Natsumi's words, and it's more laid-back than their arguments in the start of the season when Natsumi would threaten to disband the club or pick at Endou's overenthusiastic passion for soccer. It's nothing but friendly bickering between friends, showing how far they've come in their friendship since the beginning even if they are very much still the same people.
Then we have this scene in episode 19.
Natsumi, who's visiting her father in the hospital and feeling melancholic because it's a hospital and her father is admitted in it, sees the tower near which Endou always practices and goes there on a whim. And when she gets there, she automatically envisions Endou practicing as usual.
When Endou sees her there, he can tell at first glance that something's btohering her, even if she says that things are getting better. And what does he do? He takes her to his favorite spot and reminds her that she isn't alone.
I believe this is the moment where Natsumi really developed her crush. Before this, their whole dynamic was "enemies to friends" and now they're moving on to the "friends to lovers" bit.
Endou, of course, doesn't see it that way just yet, and I doubt even Natsumi sees her crush as a crush, but this is the moment where it actually starts.
