WHOA MAAM 👀👀

And I agree that later parts hitomiko does sound like her. It's too bad that we can't look it up since only tsurugi and tenma's vas are named 😔 and they don't really change the end credits of animes from how it is originally in Japanese or at times in the eng dub when they sourced from there 😔

AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR THESE. I AM GRACED BY BOTH THEIR VOICES 🥹🥹

This was funnier in my head

[soccerpunching]

I think about this moment a lot:

screenshotted from INAZUMA ELEVEN 2: Blizzard ❄️ Gameplay Walkthrough FULL GAME (Nintendo DS) by Kouteshi on YT

I don't remember the video time stamp unfortunately.

"(sigh) It must be nice to hear from your mother..." hit me like a bus.

Because the implication immediately is that Aki haven't heard from her mom since they had left on this trip. Since rika is in the screenshot we can safely assume this is a moment after their visit in osaka. When we add all the travel time from location to location it will be around 72 hours, and that's only travel time. Obviously this portion of the trip lasted longer than 3 days - they had to stop on the way for training, breaks, stop to sleep, they spent time at the locations when they arrived there. And realistically, the travel time will be different from what the internet suggests too - there's traffic and other unforseen circumstances to be taken into consideration.

But in truth it doesn't matter as much how long they have been gone. What matters is that aki feels ignored, dare i suggest, neglected by her mother.

Her next lines are her being concerned about her mother's well-being while she's away - giving us the idea that while she's at home she's quite involved in taking care of her mother. In isolation caring about your parent isn't a bad thing but put right next to a wistful admission of 'i wish my mom called me' is a pretty bad look for Aki's parents.

It puts into perspective her being so responsible at her age. Perhaps the situation is that she had to become self-reliant fast and turn into another parent in her household, all while being the child. In the same game she shares a moment with Fubuki later on, where he compares her to his mother, so there's at least one character who considers Aki's demeanor to be quite parent-like. I'm pretty sure there are more comments about her mom behavior, but i can't remember anthing specific. Her and Fubuki actually have a LOT of interactions in the game and it's a shame this didn't carry over to the anime.

For all her apparent openness, she can be a pretty closed off character. The kind of person you don't think is hiding anything because of how approachable they are, only to suddenly become aware of the carefully maintained distance they keep people at. I think it could have been even worse after Ichinose's "death" and her loss of contact with Domon, and it could be that only after she befriended Endou that she became more open about her emotions. More than before, but not entirely.

I realize this is a pretty negative interpretation, but Inazuma has never shied away from giving their characters bad home lives and dark pasts. After all just in this game/season we meet Kogure, who was straight up abandoned by his own mother and we get introduced to Fudou (although his backstory gets revealed in the next season).

As a sidenote, I'm gonna add that we see Aki receive calls from a bunch of people in the game (she's like their phone operator lmao). For example, she gets calls from Endou's mom and the detective. And this just makes me think of her having this small glimmer of hope every time her phone rings, thinking that maybe, just maybe it was her mom, calling to check in with her, make sure she is doing well, that she is safe and warm and fed.

She probably knows her mom's number by heart. And each time she looked at her phone screen her face would fall, imperceptibly, before she steeled herself and answered the call. Focusing back on the task at hand, pushing her feelings deep inside.

So I'm just gonna say. Aki's mother is on thin ice for me-

On an unrelated note; her hair color and shape change slightly in the sprite between the middle and last screenshot skfhsdjkf

2, 4, AND 11 OF THE SAPPHIC ENGOUKIDOU MAGICAL GIRLS AU PLEASEE EVER SINCE I FIRST SAW U MENTION IT I WAS HOOKED IMMEDIATELY LORE PLSSS 🙏🙏🙏

[Image Description: darkmode screenshot of white text that says: Reblog if you are a fanfiction author and would like your readers to put one of your fic titles in your ask + questions about it. End of description.]

Thank you so much for asking about that story!! It's only been for a month and a few weeks in my head but it's already taking over my life. I'm glad you liked it aaaaaaaa I'll make sure to keep writing it afasdsafshdfgsd

To everybody else who has not heard of it before, you can read a brief introduction to it here!!

Sapphic EnGouKidou Magical Girls AU

2: What scene did you first put down?

I didn't mention this but this fic is originally a canon divergent AU where Kidou won consecutively in the FF and Gouenji and Endou didn't meet in middle school; it's engoukidou back then too. So the original dialogues and scenes have that context first before it was ever a Magical Girls AU. It goes roughly like this (this is still Haruna and Kidou's situation here btw):

Haruna: And since when did I say that?! Kidou: !! Haruna: You think this is what I want?! To live in this... stupidly fancy mansion with a full course buffet everyday?!! Is that what you thought when you... when you chose this stupid trophy!! *shoves it on his chest* when you chose winning over contacting me?!! Kidou: *voice breaking* I didn't-- I thought--!! Haruna: Yeah, exactly!! You thought!! Because you didn't think it was worth listening to me!!

I recreated it here and I still think about this... It turned into a Magical Girls AU because I wanted there to be a way for these three to act where they're away from expectations of the people in their lives and prying eyes. This also includes from each other's (because Gouenji and Kidou have a bad history and Endou initially wants to be liked by and befriend Gouenji and vice versa) and it turns out they like being silly and fighting crimes while wearing skirts (only 2 out of 3 of them likes the skirt actually)!!

4: What's your favorite line of dialogue?

I have two sets, but it's not written to be posted yet and this story is at the early parts of creation overall so the scenes and dialogues are probably going to change, but it's so funny to me. They're all transformed as magical girls in these scenes. I use the pronouns they currently use for themselves on the narration and since this is right at the start of the story, they mostly use he/him. Kidou also has an army of penguins as his weapon, I will elaborate next time.

Kidou: *takes the small penguin with a similar cape to him, thinking for a while* Call me Hotaru. *extends his hand* Endou: *shakes the beautiful lady's hands vigorously* MAMO--MAM-- MOMOKO!! Kidou: *sweatdrops with a small smile* Did you just come up with that? Endou: N--NO!! Kidou: *scoffs in amusement* of course...

-- Different scene and chapter --

Kidou: I'm Hotaru and that one shouting over there is my partner Momoko Gouenji: *nods* Nice to meet you... *ties the villains even tighter with his fire laso, not really trying to ignore him* Kidou: Kidou: So what's your name? Gouenji: --Huh? Kidou: Your name? Gouenji: *blinks then looks at Kidou then at the villains* Gouenji: I don't want to tell... Kidou: I didn't tell anyone my real name either-- Endou: YOUR NAME'S NOT HOTARU?! Kidou: *hand on hip* You lied to me about yours too. Endou: N-No--How did you find out?!?

It's my favorite lines of dialogues so far since I haven't written much about it unlike my other WIPs. It's my newest one so far as the others already have months in the making. This will change in the future...

11: What do you like best about this fic?

It's so interesting to write or imagine how the break trio (and the other characters) would be if they were given the chance to wear a mask and not care about the people's expectations of them. We all know how both Kidou and Gouenji only bares themselves to very few people and that Endou most often than not wants to be the support that someone needs (in a bit of a people pleasing degree at rare times too).

Even if Kidou is canonically a trauma-dumper, he still put a face (to everyone who isn't Endou) whenever he's interacting bcs he's always aware that all of his actions have consequences for the Kidou Conglomerate. As for Gouenji, he canonically has only told his problems to Endou and have dangerous levels of following people's expectations of him ((his father + his friends expecting a powerful shoot (only what he thinks bcs they just want him to play soccer actually)).

So anyway, I think escapism would bring an interesting layer to their characters and them being an egg in the story is just probably me projecting or that I'm adding another layer to their characters.

Thank you so much for caring about this story and asking about it so much omg 🥺
