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.

@@jeremywinston1 The commenter says that the video praises the anime too much, as if it was written by a master. So he says he praises the anime as if it were very good. Later, the commenter realizes that the anime is really written by a master, that it is a really good anime and that the video is right. 👊👊👊
@@erayyyilmaz the way the comment is written made me interpret it like this: the way it was explained sounds as if it was written by shakespeare (referred to the script of the explanation).
@@mocha13Can you comment on the fact that the first season of Inazuma eleven stole a lot of plot points of the Shaolin soccer movie? Specially the evil coach and doping part.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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
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 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
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
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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
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
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). 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. Video games. And this for years that came. We're waiting for Victory Road's launch so that we can feed our love for Inazuma Eleven, and I hope you'll go over the seven other seasons, even if we're not fans of the last two. There is SO MUCH to talk about, and with Hat you did just for the first season, I'm sure the other videos you will make (if you do) will be just as good if not better. I'm gonna watch some more of your videos now, keep up with the good work and good luck for what's next. Until then, SOCCA YAROZE !!
@@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)
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
"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.
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
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😮
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 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.
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.
I think Inazuma 11 révolutionized sports anime. That anime was straight gas, no breaks. Slam Dunk and Haikyuu are examples of anime directly contributing to the sports interest irl
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.
You made a great video and great points, and I am definitely sure to check the anime out. However, my personal favorite sport match of all time has got to be the first final of Diamond no Ace Act I against Inashiro (and since you featured some clips of DnA, althought they were from the utter garbage that is Act II, I presume you are familiar with it). The build up is in my humble opinion among the best we know. We first get introduced to Inashiro in a training match, with Mei busting out his unhittable change up. We learn that they defeated the third years before and made Metabolic Senpai retire. We further learn that Miyuki was supposed to join Mei and his gang to win it all and that both teams are most likely to face off with each other. And then we see them utterly dominate the sf in a called game. Up until that point, Seido had won each game with relative ease. There were a few hiccups here and there, but overall, Seido was so strong, the third years seemed so invincible, you felt that they could not lose. Then we get to the night before, And Kataoka, the teams coach, not only expresses his desire to take his team to Koshien, but also admits that he does not believe that Seido has even a 50 % chance of winning. Seido, the team that took down any other opponent with relative ease. So when the match finally arrives, you know that it will be a hard fight. Just from the build up alone, you knew enough to root for either team. Inashiro may have been the juggernaut of the West Tokyo prefecture, but they were in it to win it, willing to do everything they can to get that ticket. Then the match starts and they immediately take the lead. All the momentum seems to be on their side. And then it is Yuki´s turn. And Mei makes short work off him. The momentum changes, and due to the injury from Ryosuke (clearly telegraphed and well known beforehand) 2 runs score. Furuya gets chased and Tanba comes in. And proceeds to give up a homer. With Mei only pitching better and better, the game seems to almost over. And then, when Tanba collapses, when everything is seemingly going up in flames, in comes Sawamura and strikes out Mei on three pitches. The momentum starts to shift and in the top of the eight inning, after the absolute highlight of the match, Yuki smashes the change up for a two run double and Seido takes the lead. Anf with Sawamura pulling off that risky play as well as inducing that ground ball with his cutter, we had into the ninth. Miyuki gets on base and wit hthe way everything went, you truly feel like Seido can defeat the demon that is Mei. And then, with Miyuki on third, with the game on the line, we get the flashback of Mei and learn about his motivations, what drives him forward and his obsession. So when Mei scores that out at home, you know that we are at the crossroad. Mei has tapped into his demon side, Seido fails to score and we enter the bottom of the ninth. Three more outs. And with the ever increasing pressure, with the game, Koshien and his senpais future on the line, at the height of the game, Sawamura cracks down. Before we proceed and Kawakami comes in. Who walks a batter, gets the sure win groundout before Haruichi flubs the ball (something he did before) and Carlos scores. The game is tied. But you still believe that they can pull it off, that they can win. And then comes Mei and ends it all. The entire game, the constant shift of momentum, the build up, what we learn about Inashiro and Mei especially, how these two teams were throwing everything they had at each other, supporting their ace/supporting each other, the way this game ends and most importantly, how it affects the entire story, make this game my personal goat. In most other mangas, when the team loses, they simply rebound and get back in their next try. Here, the third years retire, Sawamura gets YIPS and has to battle for the rest of the first Act to even get a spot on the mound. The impact this game left, the way it changed the entire trajectory of everyone involved, just everything was done to perfection. And the anime did the game justice. I still get goosebumps when Mei gets that out at home plate against Miyuki, when Sawamura strikes out Mei, or when Carlos runs through and scores the tying run. I am, however, looking forward to this anime once I find the time. Thank you for the good video and reccommendation.
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!
I think the best match for Inazuma is the last match between Japan and Africa. No other plot points just 2 teams playing at it's best. Pure hardwork! Your video is pretty good.
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
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
Bro this video just awakened a suppressed childhood memory Thanks for reminding me of this epic anime loved it as a kid and appreciate all the nuances that went to it more now as an adult watching your breakdown of it
“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)
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
Honestly an insane video man! Growing up with Inazuma, it always had a special place in my heart and this video really recaptures the magic of my first watch! Thanks a lot :)
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 love this anime and game with passion, the music, the techniques, even the character designs, everyone is so unique, and their personalities and how they use their own experiences to help each other
When I was in highschool watching this show, many around me will belittle the show and me calling it childish, but I knew I was watching peak and nothing was ever going to stop me from rocking to this anime like a junkie.
Ok, I'll rewatch og inazuma eleven + inazuma eleven go again. I remember getting so many chills watching some of these matches. The ost is a banger always too.
The final match of the Baseball World Cup (Equivalent of the WBC: Baseball Classic) of Japan versus USA in MAJOR season five was phenomenal. I highly recommend you watch it.
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

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

This was my second favourite payoff.

Third is Shawn taking the scarf off
Yeah Shawn releasing his limiter and going full power is still of the best and most hype moments in the whole show

Thank you for covering the first season of Inazuma Eleven. It's peak fiction!
Inazuma Eleven was the kind of hype that Optimus Prime had when doing his speeches, had me believing I could stop those shots barehanded.

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.
how am i crying to this bro wthh 😭do the rest of the series please!!
That was the aim!
"If he falls, he's stronger when he gets up.", Endou's straight up a saiyan
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.
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??

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
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.
I still can't believe you went from Weird Sport Anime to Greatest Match in Sports Anime !
Inazuma eleven is GOAT.
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.
@@senten9154 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
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!
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
17:55 bro really pulled out Chaos Control and thought we wouldn't notice 💀
A sonic fan i see🙌
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.
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.
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
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
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).
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.
Video games.
And this for years that came.
We're waiting for Victory Road's launch so that we can feed our love for Inazuma Eleven, and I hope you'll go over the seven other seasons, even if we're not fans of the last two.
There is SO MUCH to talk about, and with Hat you did just for the first season, I'm sure the other videos you will make (if you do) will be just as good if not better.
I'm gonna watch some more of your videos now, keep up with the good work and good luck for what's next.
Until then, SOCCA YAROZE !!
One of my favourite parts of Inazuma when I was a kid. Thanks for making these vids once again. Thank you. Endlessly.
The first majin the hand is for me the best scene from all of Inazuma and by far. Great video
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.
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
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.
I can't wait for the Season 2 breakdown and you being forced to make a 20+ min video only about Shawn/Fubuki.
"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.
Thank you for this video. Inazuma Eleven has absolutely shaped me into a better person.
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
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😮
Please make a video of how the background score and the songs are just perfectly timed....its goosebumps everytime
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 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.
Okay atp your channel gonna make me finally get into sports anime 😂
You should already be watching some hahaha
This is such a beautiful video. I love Inazuma Eleven. Endou is my favorite character of all time. Thank you so much.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID SINCE THE LAST ONE CAME OUT!!! THANKS VRO!!!
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.
I think Inazuma 11 révolutionized sports anime. That anime was straight gas, no breaks.
Slam Dunk and Haikyuu are examples of anime directly contributing to the sports interest irl
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.
You made a great video and great points, and I am definitely sure to check the anime out.
However, my personal favorite sport match of all time has got to be the first final of Diamond no Ace Act I against Inashiro (and since you featured some clips of DnA, althought they were from the utter garbage that is Act II, I presume you are familiar with it).
The build up is in my humble opinion among the best we know. We first get introduced to Inashiro in a training match, with Mei busting out his unhittable change up. We learn that they defeated the third years before and made Metabolic Senpai retire. We further learn that Miyuki was supposed to join Mei and his gang to win it all and that both teams are most likely to face off with each other. And then we see them utterly dominate the sf in a called game.
Up until that point, Seido had won each game with relative ease. There were a few hiccups here and there, but overall, Seido was so strong, the third years seemed so invincible, you felt that they could not lose.
Then we get to the night before, And Kataoka, the teams coach, not only expresses his desire to take his team to Koshien, but also admits that he does not believe that Seido has even a 50 % chance of winning. Seido, the team that took down any other opponent with relative ease.
So when the match finally arrives, you know that it will be a hard fight. Just from the build up alone, you knew enough to root for either team. Inashiro may have been the juggernaut of the West Tokyo prefecture, but they were in it to win it, willing to do everything they can to get that ticket.
Then the match starts and they immediately take the lead. All the momentum seems to be on their side. And then it is Yuki´s turn. And Mei makes short work off him. The momentum changes, and due to the injury from Ryosuke (clearly telegraphed and well known beforehand) 2 runs score. Furuya gets chased and Tanba comes in. And proceeds to give up a homer. With Mei only pitching better and better, the game seems to almost over. And then, when Tanba collapses, when everything is seemingly going up in flames, in comes Sawamura and strikes out Mei on three pitches. The momentum starts to shift and in the top of the eight inning, after the absolute highlight of the match, Yuki smashes the change up for a two run double and Seido takes the lead. Anf with Sawamura pulling off that risky play as well as inducing that ground ball with his cutter, we had into the ninth.
Miyuki gets on base and wit hthe way everything went, you truly feel like Seido can defeat the demon that is Mei. And then, with Miyuki on third, with the game on the line, we get the flashback of Mei and learn about his motivations, what drives him forward and his obsession. So when Mei scores that out at home, you know that we are at the crossroad. Mei has tapped into his demon side, Seido fails to score and we enter the bottom of the ninth. Three more outs. And with the ever increasing pressure, with the game, Koshien and his senpais future on the line, at the height of the game, Sawamura cracks down. Before we proceed and Kawakami comes in. Who walks a batter, gets the sure win groundout before Haruichi flubs the ball (something he did before) and Carlos scores. The game is tied. But you still believe that they can pull it off, that they can win. And then comes Mei and ends it all.
The entire game, the constant shift of momentum, the build up, what we learn about Inashiro and Mei especially, how these two teams were throwing everything they had at each other, supporting their ace/supporting each other, the way this game ends and most importantly, how it affects the entire story, make this game my personal goat. In most other mangas, when the team loses, they simply rebound and get back in their next try. Here, the third years retire, Sawamura gets YIPS and has to battle for the rest of the first Act to even get a spot on the mound. The impact this game left, the way it changed the entire trajectory of everyone involved, just everything was done to perfection. And the anime did the game justice. I still get goosebumps when Mei gets that out at home plate against Miyuki, when Sawamura strikes out Mei, or when Carlos runs through and scores the tying run.
I am, however, looking forward to this anime once I find the time. Thank you for the good video and reccommendation.
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 think the best match for Inazuma is the last match between Japan and Africa. No other plot points just 2 teams playing at it's best. Pure hardwork! Your video is pretty good.
makes me so happy that inazuma eleven is getting recognition nowadays. such an underrated anime
talk about the most hype moment in inazuma eleven aries
spoilers:
THE FIRE LEMONADE
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
“Speaking of stakes 🥩” made me laugh even tho it’s really random 😂
That one match in prince of tennis is still my favourite. Last watched it more than 10 years ago, so I forgot who it was, but it's still in my mind
Bro you are a man of culture for all these animes you know because i know most of these
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
Bro this video just awakened a suppressed childhood memory
Thanks for reminding me of this epic anime loved it as a kid and appreciate all the nuances that went to it more now as an adult watching your breakdown of it
Always love to see you talk about Inazuma, but can you make a video about the alius academy arc? One of the greatest 2nd seasons in sport anime ever.
i loved your video bro.. watched this in 2 days time and it was totally worth it. I miss the OG Inazuma 11 days
Can’t wait for aliea arc
“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)
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
I love how this shows handles character growth very nicely, some of my favorite examples is the character growth of Fubuki
Finally, another Inazuma Eleven video
Honestly an insane video man! Growing up with Inazuma, it always had a special place in my heart and this video really recaptures the magic of my first watch! Thanks a lot :)
For real im really happy someone talk about Inazuma eleven 😢 and glad i see this as new upload this week
honestly how ever far you'll go, be it stopping at season 2, 3 or even inazuma eleven go, I'll be waiting :)
9:25 the music LMAAAAAOOOO
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 🙌🙏
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
My childhood recapped ❤️ thanks
You dont know how happy i am that the match is going to be remastered and put on Cinemas in Japan!
I dont care about other uses of it but first time they used trangle z especially with the serious music playing was pretty sick
I love this anime and game with passion, the music, the techniques, even the character designs, everyone is so unique, and their personalities and how they use their own experiences to help each other
but can we just take some time to apreciate theese amazing soundtracks of inazuma 11. They are epic cold and amazing
shawn frost was my favorite character ever since he was introduced
The first time God Hand got broken through, I literally dropped my spoon during my breakfast in front of the TV.
You're way too underrated bro❤
ur so right, FUBUKI MY KING WE R WAITING FOR UUUU
When I was in highschool watching this show, many around me will belittle the show and me calling it childish, but I knew I was watching peak and nothing was ever going to stop me from rocking to this anime like a junkie.
Really well edited video
Thanks!
After you finish covering Inazuma you should cover Galactik Football which aired at a similar time and was just as hype
Ok, I'll rewatch og inazuma eleven + inazuma eleven go again. I remember getting so many chills watching some of these matches. The ost is a banger always too.
The final match of the Baseball World Cup (Equivalent of the WBC: Baseball Classic) of Japan versus USA in MAJOR season five was phenomenal. I highly recommend you watch it.
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
