Ofc! I feel like season 2 will be an even more interesting aproach becuase of the highly dark psychological parts of it (fubuki, hiroto, endous mental collapse)
I'm a die hard inazuma fan, and my online name for almost 9 years was Aphrodi haha, so thank you for actually emphasising how badass his character is Also, Inazuma eleven is only good until season3 Inazuma japan vs little gigant only that that was the end of good inazuma everything from there just is a repeat of story with new characters, It's because I'm a diehard inazuma eleven fan that I'm saying this I have bought every inazuma game & i still play inazuma eleven strikers 2013 inazuma eleven go is just no go
When Aphrodite used heaven's time for the first time 7 year old me was like "no... way, that's just cheating" and still, 10+ years later I still felt that aura.

5:02, funny thing about Gojou Masaru/Gus Martin, he actually won 3 Inazuma eleven character polls before eventually being graduated to the hall of fame and subsequently banned for any future popularity polls. So yes a very likeable guy.
@@mocha13 I mean to put it into retrospect, in the later games he was put in a team called "The L-5 Heroes" featuring all the most popular characters from most Level-5 games. Also Gus is unironically one of the mascots for this game istg
The funniest part is that at some point they unbanned him. And he won again, even though the vote riggers didn’t do anything this time. People voted for him anyways, due to him always winning popularity polls. The vote rigging group also at some point rigged votes such that a fucking airplane was one of the 10 best Level 5 characters lmao
Slight correction: Endou/Mark's Grandfather used Majin the Hand with his left hand and Endou realised that to draw the power from his heart, he had to move his body to the right, so that his right hand can reach it.
I just love the scene before he shoots his first God Knows, he just walks up to Mark, and asks: "Have you ever heard the flap of an angel's wings?" And then straight up murders him with his technique. Inazuma eleven will always be my favourite sports anime. By the way, for Majin the Hand, what I remember is that it is a left handed move and uses energy from the heart, however to use it Mark turns around because he has to put his right hand on his chest to have it as close as possible to the heart to accumulate energy.

Thank you, mocha, you've got yourself a new subscriber.
As a day-1 French fan of the series, either it is the video game, the anime, or the manga (which is WAY darker), I'm really happy seeing someone doing a resumé of the first season of this legendary franchise (big up the to latino community whom is the biggest community after Japan).

Endou using the devil's hand to challenge the gods who wants to break his love for football is just peak writting. This show is just a perfect study on how to write children's shows it teaches so many good things while being entertaining and very smart about it's writting.
Majin the hand definitely top 5 hissatsu of all time. It's even cooler the second time in the episode that Endou uses it with the music change and Aphrode's utter shock that he's been surpassed. And that final line... *In Unison: "This is our..." Goenji: "Football!!!" as he scores the winning goal, combining The Phoenix which represents rebirth and rebuilding yourself, with Fire Tornado, the ferocious flames that lit a fire in everyone's hearts set ablaze the path to success in that very first episode (very intelligent writing like brooooooo). Inazuma Eleven has some of the best character moments, dialogue, hype and peak writing of any sports anime. Despite being so ahead of it's time though it's quite underrated so it's great to see some appreciation. Now, for the best Hissatsu's in the whole franchise: Season 1 - Majin the hand Season 2 - Eternal Blizzard Season 3 - Tenkuu Ototshi Go - White Hurricane Chrono Stone - Tenchi Raimei Galaxy - Arashi Tatsumaki Hurricane Aries - Cosmic Blaster Orion - God Hand (of friendship) Honourable mentions: Basically every Orion Hissatsu (They're all so good its basically impossible to choose just one), Maximum Fire (from the ogre movie), God of wind God of Lightning (Ares), Great Max Me Super (Chrono Stone), Odin Sword (season 3) and all Avatar/Armed and souls.
@dewannaeem7283 It honestly doesn't get as much recognition as it should be. I mean come on, it's literally a shot that gains power the farther that it's shot from.
broooo sometone mentioning Tenkuu Otoshi straight up brings me back when I first finished watching it back in 2012 when they did that on the finals it was sooooo fucking insane
peak analysis, you just reminded me why i love Inazuma Eleven so much. I litteraly grew up with this anime and i never get tired of it. It's just that GREAT ! Love from France
"Football at its core is a game built on teamwork", and that's why we brazilians got that infamous 7x1. A team full of players full of themselves. Also, great video. It was sometime since I saw a good video about Inazuma Eleven.
Him understanding the left hand thing is the only core memory I had of the show. Whenever I told someone about this show (I had forgotten it's name because I was too young when I watched it) I would tell them how the main protagonist understood the Majin hand technique and whomever I told this to they understood what show I was taking about so yeah this match is pretty goated
this channel will have 100k subscribers at this rate. Your content is just too good and the Inazuma Eleven fandom is very loyal to the series, specially the first 3 seasons (football frontier, aliens, world cup). Even though i agree with you, my personal favorite greatest match ever is Karasuno vs Seijoh 2. Oikawa's character development and the talent vs hardwork battle is just perfectly represented in that arc. Raimon vs Zeus is a close second though
When kidou himself told aphrodi not to underestimate endou, along with a flashback of royal's first game with raimon showing endou's determination, one of the best moments of the game.
The most beautiful moment is when the coach calls the names of the injured Japan team, calls the managers by names as he addresses each team member before the final match in the show. In the raimon finals, The Phoenix was incredible. They mastered the pegasus, Then put a spin on it as the phoenix. Then Blaze shot fire tornado on that. The moments Mark/Endou joins attack are so awesome.
Thank you so much for the nostalgia! I remember rushing back home from school to watch this every friday... The final game was such a fantastic moment.
This show was airing on Cartoon Network when I was a kid. I watched all of S1 (till the aliens showed up lmfao). That build up to Majin the Hand and then eventually winning, scoring that last goal by literally summoning the Phoenix, was so memorable.
Beautiful bro. Also the ending song "Maji de Kansha" is so nice to hear. Hearing that after they win a big game was always fulfilling. This anime will always be my favorite sports anime.
@Loner098 I just searched it up, apparently it is a opening song but they've played it after the opening multiple times. Such as when (spoilers for season 3 if you haven't watched) They also played it after they won the football frontier international. Also when they were at a breaking point and then they turned the game around.
I remember finding this show randomly and almost passed by it before I noticed the MC had the same name as me so I decided to watch it. I love it in the first few episodes
this is the first video i've watched from you and omg someone who's actually talking about and analysing ina11! this show was my childhood, and it really is insane out of context (and in context tbf). would love to hear you talk about s2 and s3
Inazuma Eleven was the kind of hype that Optimus Prime had when doing his speeches, had me believing I could stop those shots barehanded. However I think if Blue Lock doesn't get the same treatment as it did for this season, the U-20 match has the chance to be the greatest anime sports match ever.
I'll be looking forward to the u20 match no matter the circumstances. We don't need a million budget animation I'm just happy we get to see the story progress.
So ive been watching Anime and reading Manga for 30 years now.. 14 years ago Inazuma Eleven first aired in the Netherlands.. my eldest son liked it and I started watching it because of him.. it didn't take me long to appreciate it like I started it for me. I've watched 3 seasons and I loved it.
I love how they changed Majin the Hand from the games, because in Inazuma Eleven 1, you unlock it before facing Shuriken, while triple defense (where Jack and Todd help Mark stop triangle z) is more powerful, being one of the best catch moves in the game
In india it use to air on cartoon network and was mad for it but as you might know it cn habit of stopping any series in mid some where this also got stopped and never got the chance to re-watch and by the time it got fed from memories Before today this video just pop up inthe feed and in nostalgic I opened it ; this just nuked all the memories in my brain Thank you bro you earned a subscriber
Really great video! Watching this gave me goosebumps. I remember watching Inazuma Eleven as a kid and immediately wanting to play football, although being from a country that doesn't have football as its primary sport, I had to wait until I was in highschool to start playing. Even then, years later I knew exactly what position I wanted to play in.
This was the first anime i ever watched and still is my favorite anime to this day. I was 8 when i watched it and its been 10 years. Never had talent for football but im one of the best defenders in my school because of my physique. I gave up on football because i was indian and never will get a chance to play abroad
Aphrodi is my favorite character since i saw him the first time lol, dude is always the big dawg whenever he decides to grace us with his presence, god level absolute aura. Chaos Break is one of the most insane moves for me, hope you gets to talk about that later man.
i remember watching inazuma casually until the zeus match, then i binged the shit out of it. The alien arc got me hooked to no end, and that was back in 2011. However, it is still one of the best sports anime. This show never stops being entertaining, original inazuma eleven at least, watch it omg
Definitely one of the best things I've watched in childhood, today we all keep praising haikyu and Bluelock but often forget that anime like Inazuma eleven and captain tsubasa made the hype for sports anime
Inazuma eleven is one of my favorite animes of all time. Even if is has too much friendship power, I remember I started watching it after a friend recommended it, and it became a real inspiration to me. I was not a athletic kid, I was more fat, but after starting Inazuma eleven, I started playing football everyday, even try to make a team with my friends. I have many good memories of this anime (mostly the seasons where Endou was the protagonist) Also, I didn't notice it at first, but its nice to find an inazuma eleven video that use the original names of every character. It feels really weird when I listen a video where the use the other names xP.
I think this match is God tier (pun intended), but I would argue that the final match between Inazuma Japan and Little Giant is even better. Peak Endou facing a team coached by his greatest idol who he assumed to be dead. The entire season builds up to the reveal, and the fact that it is near the end of Endou's saga makes it even more emotional.
Can't remember the name but I gotta mention the last alien team before going back to face dark raimon. That earth strike special move still gives me shivers
The first time Endou used Majin the Hand, and the time he evolved God Catch to G3 is the most hyped moment I personally consider for the original show. Especially God Catch G3 when the music plays and the echoes of him yelling "Catch" is replaced with everyone else yelling it
@@datreak3329 Yeah, it's not. In this video the creator was refering to BlueLock as an example and some might think IE is inspired from BlueLock, but actually it's the opposite.
@@mocha13 a little bit of a heads up the new coach for s2 (not spoiling their name for those who haven't watched it) had a lot of character development and personality cut from the games (which came before the anime) so if they feels like a dick or emotionless watch a comp of the cutscenes of either inazuma eleven 2 firestorm or blizzard (blizzard shows more character development for them tho)
“Majin..Za Hando!!” Peak anime, it’s even better that it’s my second anime that I watched Every Inazuma arc Pre-world cup was inside (World Cup was also amazing)
what i like about inazuma eleven was that the main character was a goalie which was different and unique as most ppl would have a forward or even mid field as there real life idol but the anime having a goalie as the main guy was refreshing imo
I also love how the voice actress for endou is the same to naruto. The actress really know how to voice the character, which gives the emotion on point.
Inazuma eleven got me in football when I was 9. I am still a football fan. Inazuma eleven got me into anime and I still watch and love anime till now. Inazuma eleven was and is so much for then just an another anime. Inazuma eleven is much more then that. I forgot the names but when that white haired kid uses his fire kick. When endou finally recruits him. When endou finally beats royal academy. When endou finally beats those "aliens". When all the people endou beat become his friends and play together in a team in the international tournament. And my favorite character, the white haired ice boy who has dual personality. When his personality finally becomes one. That moment still gives me goosebumps man. I'm going to watch the anime rn
Just wanted to leave a comment to say what a brilliant video this is.👏 Absolutely agree that this is the greatest match in sports anime. When Endou whipped out Majin the Hand for the first time... i'll never forget that feeling. This is the peak of Inazuma Eleven and embodies the spirit of the anime. Teamwork, belief and never giving up. Kidou's words on Endou touch the heart
Ayy, I've been waiting for you to release this video since I watched all your other Inazuma Eleven videos when they first release! Bless up bro, hope you're doing good
MAN THAT WAS SO F*CKING GOOD ! The flashbacks from my childhood came back all at once, I almost teared up in the final goal scene... I haven't watch Inazuma Eleven since 15+ years but I might rewatch it just because of this video
Inazuma Eleven was my first anime when I was a kid without knowing the difference between anime and cartoon. After I grew up then rewatched it it youtube. Nostalgia.
Inazuma 11 was one of my favourite shows as a kid, so it's great to revisit it, since it still stands up today. I remember the 4 year wait for the season 3 dub was agonising, but at least we had the games. Mark/Endou is still one of my favourite characters in anime. And Willy/Megane may be a bit of a wimp, but he's our wimp and we love him haha
Inazuma often gets overlooked in the world of sports anime with the multiple monsters and mainstream sports anime that we have. But the franchise has a lot of incredible moments. like here with majin the hand but also (without spoilers) - Fubuki's mental health (lets call it that) in season 2 - The problems, corruption and match fixing try in season 3 and many more along the line in go, like loss, fear and pain! They do it so well!
i always thought inazuma eleven was just a childhood fever dream of mine.Whoever i talked to hadnt hear its name.Even after some years when anime becam fairly popular in my country, nobody mentions the name of this anime.But i still love to watch it so much
5:00 Funny you say that, cause that guy, Gojou Masaru, has won a lot of Inazuma Eleven popularity poll, mostly 1st place. btw love your video on Inazuma Eleven. Watching it made me remember how much I love this anime! keep it up!
Me: Watches the video and loves it. Also me: Checks how long ago was it published, hoping that it was like half a year ago and part 2 is released. Released 17 hours ago. Again, me: FUCK.
I mean zues vs raimon is good, but I love the final match of the World Cup much better. Not only are both teams lovable, they're all loving the game, the stakes are the world cup, but it's beyond that, since, they're just playing the best game of football they can, loving what they do. Then there was the culmination of Endou's arc with his Grandfather, that friendly faceoff was amazing.
Totally agree. Inazuma Japan vs Little Giants is the coolest match in the series for me and is not even close. It's full of memorable moments and the way is all synced with the different openings and music tracks is incredible. It also feels quite refreshing that for once they are not playing to save the world or defeat some kind of villain, but just to win the tournament and become the world's best.
Bro how do you only have 14k subs you deserve a million for the incredible content! I watched this show when I was young but you still somehow managed to bring all the hype keep up the good work
Awesome video! Honestly, agreed with everything you said, Endou had to learn those techniques using his grandpa's notebooks, while Rococco on the other hand had direct guidance from his grandfather, theres the difference between the two What I love about this is that he doesn't actually learn Majin the hand before the match, he learns it during the match which makes it more intense and exciting Ares/Orion endou felt like a straight up Gary/Mary sue there I did not really like that tbh I love OG endou more than ares/orion endou Also Aphrodi has to be one of the most OP characters still to this day XD with or without drug he is still strong and awesome I just cant get enough of his beautiful moves heavens time is broken af
new subscriber here! I can't describe how happy it makes me to see inazuma eleven content and analysis being uploaded. If there's one thing I love as much as talking about this series, it's listening to other people talk about this series lmao. And your videos are super well made! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the later seasons bro. Keep up the good work 🙌🙏
I have watched over 1000 animes ,but this will always remain one of the best ones i remember watching it in 4 th grade after school , those seasons vs aliens were also cool😮

everything from there just is a repeat of story with new characters, It's because I'm a diehard inazuma eleven fan that I'm saying this
I have bought every inazuma game & i still play inazuma eleven strikers 2013

When Endou finally uses Majin the hand. Chills man chills
Endou is his surname

Third is Shawn taking the scarf off

Before deleting my Discord server (which I regret deleting), I created a wonderful Inazuma Eleven Community, all loving doing roleplays
We created our own characters and special techniques (hissatsus in Japanese), we made them grow, train, talk, live, it was 24/7 and we had our own legendaries moment, sometime we talk about it, we smile at these moments, we were united by the Level-5 Franchise called Inazuma Eleven.
Sportmanship.
Friendship.
Childhood show.

And that final line... *In Unison: "This is our..." Goenji: "Football!!!" as he scores the winning goal, combining The Phoenix which represents rebirth and rebuilding yourself, with Fire Tornado, the ferocious flames that lit a fire in everyone's hearts set ablaze the path to success in that very first episode (very intelligent writing like brooooooo). Inazuma Eleven has some of the best character moments, dialogue, hype and peak writing of any sports anime. Despite being so ahead of it's time though it's quite underrated so it's great to see some appreciation.
Now, for the best Hissatsu's in the whole franchise:
Season 1 - Majin the hand
Season 2 - Eternal Blizzard
Season 3 - Tenkuu Ototshi
Go - White Hurricane
Chrono Stone - Tenchi Raimei
Galaxy - Arashi Tatsumaki Hurricane
Aries - Cosmic Blaster
Orion - God Hand (of friendship)
Honourable mentions: Basically every Orion Hissatsu (They're all so good its basically impossible to choose just one), Maximum Fire (from the ogre movie), God of wind God of Lightning (Ares), Great Max Me Super (Chrono Stone), Odin Sword (season 3) and all Avatar/Armed and souls.
If you had to separate the special moves of each season into shooting, blocking/stealing, goalkeeping, and dribbling, how would they fall into?
I loved Excalibur.
ALL orion hissatsus?
Even Macaroni Spaghetti??
@dewannaeem7283 It honestly doesn't get as much recognition as it should be. I mean come on, it's literally a shot that gains power the farther that it's shot from.
broooo sometone mentioning Tenkuu Otoshi straight up brings me back when I first finished watching it back in 2012
when they did that on the finals it was sooooo fucking insane
Thank you for reminding me of this beautiful memory from my childhood
peak analysis, you just reminded me why i love Inazuma Eleven so much. I litteraly grew up with this anime and i never get tired of it. It's just that GREAT !
Love from France
"Football at its core is a game built on teamwork", and that's why we brazilians got that infamous 7x1. A team full of players full of themselves.
Also, great video. It was sometime since I saw a good video about Inazuma Eleven.
The greatest coverage I've seen of this beloved series of mine. Thank you.
Him understanding the left hand thing is the only core memory I had of the show. Whenever I told someone about this show (I had forgotten it's name because I was too young when I watched it) I would tell them how the main protagonist understood the Majin hand technique and whomever I told this to they understood what show I was taking about so yeah this match is pretty goated
this channel will have 100k subscribers at this rate. Your content is just too good and the Inazuma Eleven fandom is very loyal to the series, specially the first 3 seasons (football frontier, aliens, world cup).
Even though i agree with you, my personal favorite greatest match ever is Karasuno vs Seijoh 2. Oikawa's character development and the talent vs hardwork battle is just perfectly represented in that arc. Raimon vs Zeus is a close second though
The algorithm doing it's job because YOU ARE GOD DAMN RIGHT
Inazuma Eleven season 1 (or arc 1 or first game or whatever you call it) is absolute PEAK.
When kidou himself told aphrodi not to underestimate endou, along with a flashback of royal's first game with raimon showing endou's determination, one of the best moments of the game.
I still can't believe you went from Weird Sport Anime to Greatest Match in Sports Anime !
Inazuma eleven is GOAT.
those final moments of the match still gets me emotional
The most beautiful moment is when the coach calls the names of the injured Japan team, calls the managers by names as he addresses each team member before the final match in the show.
In the raimon finals, The Phoenix was incredible. They mastered the pegasus, Then put a spin on it as the phoenix. Then Blaze shot fire tornado on that.
The moments Mark/Endou joins attack are so awesome.
Thank you so much for the nostalgia! I remember rushing back home from school to watch this every friday... The final game was such a fantastic moment.
This show was airing on Cartoon Network when I was a kid. I watched all of S1 (till the aliens showed up lmfao). That build up to Majin the Hand and then eventually winning, scoring that last goal by literally summoning the Phoenix, was so memorable.
Beautiful bro. Also the ending song "Maji de Kansha" is so nice to hear. Hearing that after they win a big game was always fulfilling. This anime will always be my favorite sports anime.
Wait, Maji de Kansha is an ending song? I thought it was the name of an opening song... 🤔
@Loner098 I just searched it up, apparently it is a opening song but they've played it after the opening multiple times. Such as when (spoilers for season 3 if you haven't watched)
They also played it after they won the football frontier international. Also when they were at a breaking point and then they turned the game around.
@@ElfianLicht I always thought the anime just reused other opening songs to hype the audience up to something big.
@@Loner098 And it is, maji de kansha always had me rejoicing and jumping all over the place haha
Inazuma Eleven is actually PEAK, i'm watching S1 again
17:55 bro really pulled out Chaos Control and thought we wouldn't notice 💀
A sonic fan i see🙌
I remember finding this show randomly and almost passed by it before I noticed the MC had the same name as me so I decided to watch it. I love it in the first few episodes
this is the first video i've watched from you and omg someone who's actually talking about and analysing ina11! this show was my childhood, and it really is insane out of context (and in context tbf). would love to hear you talk about s2 and s3
Inazuma Eleven was the kind of hype that Optimus Prime had when doing his speeches, had me believing I could stop those shots barehanded.
However I think if Blue Lock doesn't get the same treatment as it did for this season, the U-20 match has the chance to be the greatest anime sports match ever.
I'll be looking forward to the u20 match no matter the circumstances. We don't need a million budget animation I'm just happy we get to see the story progress.
So ive been watching Anime and reading Manga for 30 years now.. 14 years ago Inazuma Eleven first aired in the Netherlands.. my eldest son liked it and I started watching it because of him.. it didn't take me long to appreciate it like I started it for me. I've watched 3 seasons and I loved it.
I love how they changed Majin the Hand from the games, because in Inazuma Eleven 1, you unlock it before facing Shuriken, while triple defense (where Jack and Todd help Mark stop triangle z) is more powerful, being one of the best catch moves in the game
In india it use to air on cartoon network and was mad for it but as you might know it cn habit of stopping any series in mid some where this also got stopped and never got the chance to re-watch and by the time it got fed from memories
Before today this video just pop up inthe feed and in nostalgic I opened it ; this just nuked all the memories in my brain
Thank you bro you earned a subscriber
Damn those CN days. I used to cry and fight with parents to watch Inazuma Eleven.
I love Inazuma Eleven man… but this video was so amazing it made me literally cry man. Keep up the good work, cause you are doing it splendidly!
Really great video! Watching this gave me goosebumps. I remember watching Inazuma Eleven as a kid and immediately wanting to play football, although being from a country that doesn't have football as its primary sport, I had to wait until I was in highschool to start playing. Even then, years later I knew exactly what position I wanted to play in.
This was the first anime i ever watched and still is my favorite anime to this day. I was 8 when i watched it and its been 10 years. Never had talent for football but im one of the best defenders in my school because of my physique. I gave up on football because i was indian and never will get a chance to play abroad
Aphrodi is my favorite character since i saw him the first time lol, dude is always the big dawg whenever he decides to grace us with his presence, god level absolute aura. Chaos Break is one of the most insane moves for me, hope you gets to talk about that later man.
i remember watching inazuma casually until the zeus match, then i binged the shit out of it. The alien arc got me hooked to no end, and that was back in 2011. However, it is still one of the best sports anime. This show never stops being entertaining, original inazuma eleven at least, watch it omg
Definitely one of the best things I've watched in childhood, today we all keep praising haikyu and Bluelock but often forget that anime like Inazuma eleven and captain tsubasa made the hype for sports anime
Finally someone giving Inazuma Eleven some flowers lol, make this a series and cover every season 😂.
i actually cried by the end. AMAZING video. new subscriber here about to watch all your inazuma eleven videos and wait for more to come!
Glad you enjoyed! Hopefully I can do the remaining seasons the justice they deserve.
Inazuma eleven is one of my favorite animes of all time. Even if is has too much friendship power, I remember I started watching it after a friend recommended it, and it became a real inspiration to me. I was not a athletic kid, I was more fat, but after starting Inazuma eleven, I started playing football everyday, even try to make a team with my friends. I have many good memories of this anime (mostly the seasons where Endou was the protagonist)
Also, I didn't notice it at first, but its nice to find an inazuma eleven video that use the original names of every character. It feels really weird when I listen a video where the use the other names xP.
Man, i used to watch it every Friday evening after school. One of the few anime's that i got to watch on television. Brings back gold memories
One of my favourite parts of Inazuma when I was a kid. Thanks for making these vids once again. Thank you. Endlessly.
I think this match is God tier (pun intended), but I would argue that the final match between Inazuma Japan and Little Giant is even better. Peak Endou facing a team coached by his greatest idol who he assumed to be dead. The entire season builds up to the reveal, and the fact that it is near the end of Endou's saga makes it even more emotional.
Can't remember the name but I gotta mention the last alien team before going back to face dark raimon. That earth strike special move still gives me shivers
@sl33pyhollow Genesis, the goats
Thank you for this video. Inazuma Eleven has absolutely shaped me into a better person.
Finally, another Inazuma Eleven video
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID SINCE THE LAST ONE CAME OUT!!! THANKS VRO!!!
when you hear the shanlan lalala. thats just happiness right there.
The first time Endou used Majin the Hand, and the time he evolved God Catch to G3 is the most hyped moment I personally consider for the original show.
Especially God Catch G3 when the music plays and the echoes of him yelling "Catch" is replaced with everyone else yelling it
Fun fact: Haikyuu and BlueLock are used as an example of hype moment and build ups of sports anime but Inazuma Elevn did those first!
u got Captain Tsubasa and Slam Dunk first tho
@@henriquelourenco5083 Slam Dunk is just amazing
its not about who did first
@@henriquelourenco5083 True Captain Tsubasa really made sports anime popular and I kind of forgot about Slam dunk. Good point.
@@datreak3329 Yeah, it's not. In this video the creator was refering to BlueLock as an example and some might think IE is inspired from BlueLock, but actually it's the opposite.
Memoirs of playing that match on the game and "cheesing it" by passing the ball around for the entirety of 1st half XD
Would love a season 2 breakdown
But what I would love more is more than 1 vid per month 😭
In fairness, I would also love more than 1 vid per month 😪
Take your time, peak cinema cannot be mass produced. @@mocha13
@@mocha13 a little bit of a heads up the new coach for s2 (not spoiling their name for those who haven't watched it) had a lot of character development and personality cut from the games (which came before the anime) so if they feels like a dick or emotionless watch a comp of the cutscenes of either inazuma eleven 2 firestorm or blizzard (blizzard shows more character development for them tho)
@@mocha13cover the whole series man,
Till Orion, it's wack, but the pure hype that you feel after watching is bonkers
I watched Inazuma Eleven growing up and played all the games too. Kira Hitomiko is one of my all time favourite characters.
6:20 “he’s literally the Lionel Messi of goalkeeping”
Hes never heard of Lev Yashin
“Majin..Za Hando!!”
Peak anime, it’s even better that it’s my second anime that I watched
Every Inazuma arc Pre-world cup was inside (World Cup was also amazing)
what i like about inazuma eleven was that the main character was a goalie which was different and unique as most ppl would have a forward or even mid field as there real life idol but the anime having a goalie as the main guy was refreshing imo
I also love how the voice actress for endou is the same to naruto. The actress really know how to voice the character, which gives the emotion on point.
Endou's given name, Mamoru, means "protection/to protect" in japanese and that is such a nice detail. He was born to be a goalkeeper
you say Endo,but legends remember Mark Evans
This
endou mamoru is his originl japanese name ...in dub it changed to mark evans....so i dont think english name makes u legend
It's not the name but the character
I remember it as the Arabic name
thats the en name but majority remembers Endou Mamoru
Inazuma eleven got me in football when I was 9. I am still a football fan. Inazuma eleven got me into anime and I still watch and love anime till now. Inazuma eleven was and is so much for then just an another anime. Inazuma eleven is much more then that. I forgot the names but when that white haired kid uses his fire kick. When endou finally recruits him. When endou finally beats royal academy. When endou finally beats those "aliens". When all the people endou beat become his friends and play together in a team in the international tournament. And my favorite character, the white haired ice boy who has dual personality. When his personality finally becomes one. That moment still gives me goosebumps man. I'm going to watch the anime rn
makes me so happy that inazuma eleven is getting recognition nowadays. such an underrated anime
Just wanted to leave a comment to say what a brilliant video this is.👏 Absolutely agree that this is the greatest match in sports anime. When Endou whipped out Majin the Hand for the first time... i'll never forget that feeling. This is the peak of Inazuma Eleven and embodies the spirit of the anime. Teamwork, belief and never giving up. Kidou's words on Endou touch the heart
Ayy, I've been waiting for you to release this video since I watched all your other Inazuma Eleven videos when they first release! Bless up bro, hope you're doing good
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it
@@mocha13 yeah man, dope video! Hope you continue the series by covering the other seasons
MAN THAT WAS SO F*CKING GOOD ! The flashbacks from my childhood came back all at once, I almost teared up in the final goal scene... I haven't watch Inazuma Eleven since 15+ years but I might rewatch it just because of this video
“Speaking of stakes 🥩” made me laugh even tho it’s really random 😂
Inazuma Eleven was my first anime when I was a kid without knowing the difference between anime and cartoon. After I grew up then rewatched it it youtube. Nostalgia.
Inazuma 11 was one of my favourite shows as a kid, so it's great to revisit it, since it still stands up today. I remember the 4 year wait for the season 3 dub was agonising, but at least we had the games. Mark/Endou is still one of my favourite characters in anime. And Willy/Megane may be a bit of a wimp, but he's our wimp and we love him haha
The first majin the hand is for me the best scene from all of Inazuma and by far. Great video
Inazuma often gets overlooked in the world of sports anime with the multiple monsters and mainstream sports anime that we have. But the franchise has a lot of incredible moments.
like here with majin the hand but also (without spoilers)
- Fubuki's mental health (lets call it that) in season 2
- The problems, corruption and match fixing try in season 3
and many more along the line in go, like loss, fear and pain! They do it so well!
Enduo's first Majin the hand moment is still legendary!
Please make a video of how the background score and the songs are just perfectly timed....its goosebumps everytime
i always thought inazuma eleven was just a childhood fever dream of mine.Whoever i talked to hadnt hear its name.Even after some years when anime becam fairly popular in my country, nobody mentions the name of this anime.But i still love to watch it so much
Okay atp your channel gonna make me finally get into sports anime 😂
You should already be watching some hahaha
Bro you are a man of culture for all these animes you know because i know most of these
5:00 Funny you say that, cause that guy, Gojou Masaru, has won a lot of Inazuma Eleven popularity poll, mostly 1st place.
btw love your video on Inazuma Eleven. Watching it made me remember how much I love this anime! keep it up!
Isn't he confirmed to be a robot? In the yokai watch crossover event
I am so happy this anime gets some love, I grew up with it and played the games on my Nintendo back in the day
Me: Watches the video and loves it.
Also me: Checks how long ago was it published, hoping that it was like half a year ago and part 2 is released.
Released 17 hours ago.
Again, me: FUCK.
Endou Mamoru the GOAT ❤ Your videos make me want to rewatch Inazuma Eleven. Even since finishing Ace of Diamond, I miss watching hyped sports anime
I mean zues vs raimon is good, but I love the final match of the World Cup much better. Not only are both teams lovable, they're all loving the game, the stakes are the world cup, but it's beyond that, since, they're just playing the best game of football they can, loving what they do.
Then there was the culmination of Endou's arc with his Grandfather, that friendly faceoff was amazing.
Totally agree. Inazuma Japan vs Little Giants is the coolest match in the series for me and is not even close. It's full of memorable moments and the way is all synced with the different openings and music tracks is incredible.
It also feels quite refreshing that for once they are not playing to save the world or defeat some kind of villain, but just to win the tournament and become the world's best.
Just... thank you for making this video,genuinely. It brought back memories ... precious memories. 💌
I can't wait for the Season 2 breakdown and you being forced to make a 20+ min video only about Shawn/Fubuki.
Bro how do you only have 14k subs you deserve a million for the incredible content! I watched this show when I was young but you still somehow managed to bring all the hype keep up the good work
Awesome video! Honestly, agreed with everything you said, Endou had to learn those techniques using his grandpa's notebooks, while Rococco on the other hand had direct guidance from his grandfather, theres the difference between the two
What I love about this is that he doesn't actually learn Majin the hand before the match, he learns it during the match which makes it more intense and exciting
Ares/Orion endou felt like a straight up Gary/Mary sue there I did not really like that tbh
I love OG endou more than ares/orion endou
Also Aphrodi has to be one of the most OP characters still to this day XD with or without drug he is still strong and awesome I just cant get enough of his beautiful moves heavens time is broken af
Beautiful video, saved in my playlist ❤
honestly how ever far you'll go, be it stopping at season 2, 3 or even inazuma eleven go, I'll be waiting :)
new subscriber here! I can't describe how happy it makes me to see inazuma eleven content and analysis being uploaded. If there's one thing I love as much as talking about this series, it's listening to other people talk about this series lmao. And your videos are super well made! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the later seasons bro. Keep up the good work 🙌🙏
You're way too underrated bro❤
So good hear someone talking about this peak anime!
Now do a 5 minutes essay about excalibur been the stupidest hissatsu in Inazuma Eleven
9:25 the music LMAAAAAOOOO
I have watched over 1000 animes ,but this will always remain one of the best ones i remember watching it in 4 th grade after school , those seasons vs aliens were also cool😮
