I've been thinking about ina11 and tobitaka 24/7 the past two days

I just finished reading just now despite already having this on two browser tabs because I'm forgetful 😂😂 I'm sorry!

This fic caught my eye because Saginuma and Genda are the combination I hadn't thought before, so I'm glad I read it because it gives me new perspective about their characters!! I love it, I rewatched Neo Japan mini arc last night before I continued reading

“Why do you hide them?”

Genda just sighed - deep and tired and pained - and Saginuma remembered the segment on the news. Beast Fang. He shivered at the thought.

“It’s… a painful reminder.” Genda held a tight grip on his comforter, still it did nothing to stop the shaking of his hands. “Just something I’d rather forget about. …It’s shameful.”

Saginuma blinked at that. He couldn’t think of a world where the proud “king of keepers” and “shameful” could exist in any proximity to each other.

Although, he remembered catching glimpses of Genda looking down at his hands with disdain in the short moments he had to himself during training. Saginuma had always chalked it up to frustration at his injuries, but hearing that word come out of Genda’s mouth recontextualized it.

His heart felt heavy at the realization, imagining their otherwise proud keeper carrying that feeling of shame. Something about it felt absurdist, like Saginuma was starring in a comedy skit written by someone who expected him to believe that Genda Koujirou had ever felt flustered or humiliated in his time on Earth.

Or, Saginuma sees Genda’s scar, and shows him his own.

Yukimura has a matching t-shirt of his own too

depth perception problems. how do you play soccer with one eye.

Don't post another person's art without their permission under any circumstances. If you need to gush about the characters or your otp then post the link of it on the post where you're gushing over it without uploading their art. This is like the first fandom etiquette you should learn jfc

it's very surreal to see posts about palestine dwindling down after the ceasefire. israel is still blocking aid to and trying to make life difficult for palestinians in gaza. we still have to continue to speak up about gaza.

in this ceasefire, many palestinians are trying to rebuild in attempts to try and return to what they had before the genocide. despite the heavy and unbearable loss of life that gaza has experienced, her people continue to try to make a better world for their children.

alaa is a mother of two young children. she wants to rebuild her house and get a better future for her children. please have heart and consider helping her out. her fundraiser has been verified.

did you know that you can just go online and be nice to people? you can give people compliments and helpful advice when they ask? you can encourage people when they need a little cheering up? you can even share cute pictures! more people should use the internet like that.

I’m not following Orion right now, heck I didn’t even finish Ares yet, but seeing so many posts on characters analysist and the thing makes me so happy!

And because I’m a noisy dumb gremlin I will hop on the analysist cart and do something I’ve always dreamed of doing…

Kageyama Reiji: why is he so bad? - an analysis

This is gonna be a long post, so I’m gonna continue it under the cut.

Aaaaaaaaaaah, Kageyama Reiji… The first villain, the big bad wolf, the one who traumatized the children.

But why he’s like that? Well, that’s simple, he’s a traumatized child himself! Let me explain.

We know that he attended the Raimon and was part of the original Inazuma Eleven 40 year prior to the first series event.

And the Raimon is a middle school, that means that he was between 13!yo and 15!yo at the time. But we can’t stop here.

We need to talk about Kageyama’s father. We know he was kicked out of the national team and then he started to lose every match he played. I think he had some sort of writer block, but for soccer. And fans started to hate him.

We know this from what Onigawara says in episode 22. But I want to point out something he says before all these things…

“It started 50 years ago.”

This means that Kageyama was between 3 and 5 years old when this all started. Basically his first memories were of people mad at his dad on a fucking game. We even get a shot on him as a kid watching as the people around him throws shit and insults his dad.

Pretty traumatizing, uh? But that’s not all! We also know that his father left the family, his mother died from illness and he was left alone.

And the fact that he “was left all by himself” bothers me. It’s oddly specific. This is just a theory of mine, but maybe that’s linked to the fact that many minors in Japan are abandoned by their caretaker.

And this all happened before he joined the Raimon, that means that this happened before he was 13 years old.

But we’re not done yet, oh no.

I think Kageyama developed a phobia of losing after all of this. Because not only his methods are extreme, he cheats even when he doesn’t need to! And in the games we know that even as a teen he would do anything to win, it’s not a trait he develops as an adult. And in the end his fears are in some ways confirmed when the Zeus loses to the Raimon. He had a pretty nice job, a good reputation, enough money to have a chauffeur, and then a bunch of kids shows up and he loses everything. He even gets arrested and had to fleed the country after he evades. I’m not saying he didn’t deserve it, but that must have been really bad for his mental health.

And then there’s Garshield… We know really little about him. We don’t know how much he’s old or where is he from, but we know one thing

Garshield helped Kageyama with the sabotage of the Inazuma Eleven’s bus. Remember that Kageyama was between 13 and 15 years old at the time, he was a child. A problematic child with behavior problems and with no one watching over him. And Garshield took advantage of him and groomed him to do his dirty work. Even after 40 years Kageyama still worked for Garshield, he was always his puppet.

That obliviously doesn’t justify all the evil deed he has done, he harmed children in many ways, but he’s not so different from Fudou or Tsurugi and the others “bad” children in this anime. The difference between then and Kageyama is that Reiji was helped by the wrong person, a person that wanted to use him.

Yeah I don’t know how to end this… I just love Kageyama as a character, he’s something more than the “bad guy” we usually see and I explained why.

Thanks for the attention, byeeee
