Sorry, I passed my period cramps to Gouenji

[fantasma-de-la-cueva]

PELUCHITOOOOS 😭😭😭

Yo sé que la franquicia dijo que las gerentes como contrapartes de los protagonistas son:

Endou - Aki | Gouenji - Natsumi | Kidou - Haruna.

Pero si los agrupo por personalidad sería así:

Endou - Haruna (los genki, expresivos por naturaleza)

Gouenji - Aki (las mamás, la figura protectora)

Kidou - Natsumi (ojousama/oujisama, los inteligentes)

Hubiera sido bonito ver escenas como: Kidou y Natsumi reestructurando la curricula escolar de Raimon, Gouenji y Aki cocinando un nuevo tipo de tarta y a Endou y Haruna reclutando gente para el club de fútbol.

ES IGUUUUUUAAAAAAAL (Axel/Gouenji con voz de Keanu my beloved)

Pd y edit: podemos hablar del hecho de que literalmente hoy 8/02/2025 volvieron canon que Axel/Gouenji puede hacer la akira slide? Ahora tengo el headcannon de que de adulto aprendió a manejar moto y conducir, pero le gustan más los autos (Syon/Masato es el de las motos, tiene guardada la moto que usaba su primillo cuando eran más jóvenes y a veces van a dar vueltas por ahí como en los viejos tiempos)

Lo peor es que cuando le pillan genuinamente fue un accidente, se tuvo que quedar hasta altas horas de la noche en la oficina porque tenía un proyecto que organizar y como tenía sueño no se dió cuenta de que su secretaria estaba al frente y se chocaron (igual la mujer le dió una cachetada no por creer que le pusieron los cachos, sino porque sabe que su marido tiene menos neuronas que una ameba 🤣🤣🤣)

@fantasma-de-la-cueva Me da risa su cara 😅

No tengo ni idea, pero siendo sonikera ya dije cuales son los temas que le aplico a mi niño 😅. Y si tuviera que pillar de otras canciones seguramente el op de evangelion, el de madoka y sis puella magica (esta última si piensa en Mark). El op de vinland saga y el de promised neverland también pegan. Y colors of the heart madre mía

Una del cabaret seguro xD

Can we please appreciate Goenji’s face please? Just for a minute?

[fantasma-de-la-cueva]

Amiga, las especias eran producto de lujo, no las ibas a comprar. Las patatas son americanas, lo que ibas a comer eran nabos y cebollas. El pan blanco era un producto reservado a los estamentos privilegiados hasta la llegada del capitalismo y la industria en el XIX (abaratamiento de producción y producción en masa), ibas a comer pan negro

Edit y agregado: ibas a estar bastante desnutrida o sufriendo hambrunas

not to sound like a medieval peasant but, cheese and bread. garlic and butter. a menagerie of spices. potatoes. that’s what life is all about right there.

Chi uwu. Es pemchomcho y una amenaza al mismo tiempo uwu

Sé que nadie lo va a leer porque español, pero me gusta como Honosuto le da una capa de profundidad a Axel/Gouenji que lo vuelve un personaje muy lleno de matices:

Comunica lo que tiene que decir, pero también embotella sus sentimientos y pensamientos para no ser una carga. Es alguien calmado que no da balonazos como en el anime, pero también feroz y agresivo cuando tiene que serlo. Es un trozo de pan que siempre actúa y ayuda si puede hacerlo, pero al mismo tiempo es incluso más despiadado que Jude/Kidou. Aunque no lo aparente por ser alguien discreto en el fondo es una muy buena persona, pero su moral es gris, si tiene que ensuciarse las manos y convertirse en un monstruo por un bien mayor lo hará. Señoras y señores, esa contradicción andante es Axel Blaze/Gouenji Shuuya

Okay, so I finally decided it bc the intrusive ideas don’t let me think straight; this post is based on @jak-milo amazing musical analysis post, go read it bc its beautiful.

As I said before: if there are four Sonic songs that fit Gouenji as Ishido those are “Rhythm and balance”, “For true story”, “Live and learn” and “I am all of me”. In this post I will be analyzing how the two first can adapt to IEGO context.

Well, “Rhythm and balance” first. This song, as well as the rest of the others except “I am all of me” can be found in Sonic Adventure 2. This song starts to play in the dark story, specifically when Shadow is going to rescue Rouge after knowing she got trapped while stealing the master emeralds from Prision Island and starts releating this to the same situation Maria was when she got killed (utterly defensless). With all the trauma he goes to rescue her and this song reflects a full PSDT attack and determination to not let that happen again, revealing that maybe Shadow isn’t a villain.

So, how can this relate to a former soccer player that turned into a monster for the greater good? Let’s see:

“Oh yeah, hurry to the unexplored land”: Part of him is taunting and pushing him to go further and deeper into the madness that is Fifth Sector

“Don't mind the steep slopes or any obstacles”: Gouenji’s inner voice trying to be ready for that madness. He’s really trying to be mentally prepared and us pretending it’s nothing for him, that it doesn’t hurt and it would never scare him. The reality is that he’s in a vast pain and knows perfectly what will happen if his cover blows up or the plan doesn’t work, and he can’t help but feel terrified about the consequences

“Oh yeah, hurry to the unexplored land. I'm not scared at all”: He is either overthinking or having an argument with his fears and doubts, trying to override them as he keeps going with his mission. He can’t stop and won’t stop, what he thinks or feels doesn’t matter when the future of soccer and the kids depends on the success of the mission

“Are you scared of something?”: His fears and guilts trying to make him not go deeper. Part of him wants it to be over and rest, but he knows that if he stops or gets caught is game over

“Oh yeah, hurry to the unexplored land. I don't mind any walls or any obstacles”: Trying to focus on avoiding the eyes of Fifth Sector members, specially Daigo’s eyes. Be as stealthy and sneaky as he can be and strike fast if necessary, he can’t give into the privilege of feeling fears and guilts now even if they are eating him alive

“Oh yeah, hurry to the unexplored land. I'm not scared at all”: I don’t have to elaborate

“I don't wanna hear you”: In this case its him telling his survival instinct and horror to shut up and let him focus on the job, he knows he has to go deeper if he wants to know exactly what Fifth Sector and Daigo had planned if he wants to either sabotage them, win time for the revolution to work out or help anyone that would be affected by that.

“Shadow, don't make me upset”: Replace the Shadow with Gouenji, then you hear Endou’s voice. His guilt adopted the form of Endou because he knows he has hurted and betrayed everyone, his best friends included even if its for the greater good

“I don't wanna hear you”: After imagining what Endou would think about his actions he tries to refocus and tells him to shut up. He knows Endou will be dissapointed by his choices, but even if he wants to see him again the mission is more important than them.

“You are frightened of something”: his rational and more calculating side sounds like Kidou’s voice. It doesn’t matter how much he tries to cover and fight, he’s not okay, everything inside him knows it and he can’t lie. This rational side is either taunting a little or just spitting a well known fact: he sacrificed everything and even became a demon in the eyes of everyone just because he wanted to help, but at the end he’s deeply afraid and hurted of tormenting more and more people, of getting caught or even stay trapped in a position he hates for the rest of his life. If he could express it he would probably give up and his rational side knows it

———————

And now, what about “For true story?” Well, for a song sompossed by only three lines that repeat themselves, in the context of the SA2 game this reflects Shadow’s cynism with life while he’s battling against Sonic. For this I think the song fits perfectly in the IEGO context of ideals, in this case reflecting the cynic reallity of Gouenji/Ishido against Endou’s more hopeful, brighter reallity.

After all, at the end of the day the reallity is that it doesn’t matter how hard someone would try to ignore it or point out that Gouenji was wrong about his choices (or even try to put all the blame on him), the revolution NEEDED someone to make the dirty job and help them from inside the enemy’s ranks. And Gouenji was the person that could fit in the role, even if he had to pay the price and put his life on the line:

“Stars don't twinkle, the moon doesn't shine. Birds don't sing, the wind doesn't blow”: Gouenji, despite what honosuto shows us and how kind-hearted he is, is still a very logic and rational person; negating that stars twinkle, moon shines, birds sing or wind blows would show the cynism and painful reality that he has to live everyday since he became Ishido. Negating the perspective we have about this phenomena and seeing them with the cientifically, cold reality can also reflect the clash of both ideals and ways to feel the pain against Endou.

Endou is realistic too, but at the same time he’s still a very cheerful, positive and fair person to the point some view him as naive and delusional; he couldn’t hurt anyone like other IE villains, neither join Fifth Sector. Gouenji, on the other side, is passional about the sport he loves or the people he cares about, but as said, rational too. Gouenji knew that Fifth Sector wasn’t going to fall down without anyone that could do the dirty job and he was the one that decided to give up everything and put his life on the line.

In one way or another it can be affirmed that Endou was a little naive to think that the revolution could work out by only winning matches and make schools join them. Gouenji knew a reality that hurted him deeply, turning him into a more or less cynic person after having to commit atrocity after atrocity just to keep the plan moving

“To the pure body, to the perfect existence”: The first part of this can reflect Endou’s physical power as shown in the movie and the capacity to train a bunch of kids to keep the revolution alive. The second part reflects the “Ishido” mask as this untochable, unwavering figure of power

“I'm shivering with cold, I struggle against despair”: This is simply a reflection of Gouenji’s tragic state, expressing the pain and loneliness he had faced for years since he became part of Fifth Sector

[fantasma-de-la-cueva]

This goes hard (and as sonic enjoyer remember friends: ��For true story”, “Rhythm and balance” and the epic “Live and learn” apply to Gouenji’s live too. One day I will explain how)

Va durísimo este análisis (y como sonikera recordad amigos: “For true story”, “Rhythm and balance” y el épico “Live and learn” aplican a Axel)

OK BUT HEAR ME OUT-

"Just a Man" from EPIC: the musical, but it's Gouenji as Ishido in 1st season of GO...

The way I see it:

"I look into your eyes, and I think back to the son of mine. You're as old as he was when I left for war"

>> Goenji looking at the spirit of the kids who are playing football now, and remembering his own team, himself together with his friends, all those years ago before he left them to join the 5th sector

"Will these actions haunt my days? Every man I've slain? Is the price I pay endless pain? Close your eyes and spare yourself the view. How could I hurt you?"

>> he knows it's all for a bigger cause, and that in the end he means well, but still - the guiltt😭, and whatever they forced him to do...Will this haunt him forever? how could he hurt the ones he loves??😭

"I'm just a man, who's trying to go home, even after all the years away from what I've known. I'm just a man, who's fighting for his life, deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife"

>> he's been there for so long, while the world changed so much, and he's just doing his best, he just wants to fix it all, and go back to his family😭

[And by family I mean Kidou and Endou, cause I'm a break trio fan lol

but it could also be his family as his friends from the team, or whatever ship you like, and so on]

"But when does the comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster?"

>> [candle become a *blaze*?? come on-] But where's the line? For how long is he still being undercover to stop all this, and where is the point when he's already becoming a monster because of the things he's done?

"Forgive me..."

>> well that one is pretty much self explanatory...😭
