Random opinion #7 :
Tumblr media
I can explain.
Ngl, the match ended up being .... bizarre. Actually, i am living for how weird it ended up to be !
Ares itself is a season who is, more or less, a copycat of season 1 but with other protagonists (thanks god, the new kid aren't ersatz of Endou, Gouenji and Kidou, and it is more an aftertaste than a fact). It was a normal Football Frontier.
Spoiler alert : the new main team, Inakuni Raimon, wins the tournament, what a shocking plotwist...
My point is that Ares is predictable and not very original, and some of the most interesting ideas have been mishandled. It is the most normal IE can get. (Wtf, IE being "normal", the same IE where you sakka with dinosaurs against aliens and communists to save the Earth by time-travelling ?)
And then, comes the match against Hakuren.
Where to even begin ?
Both teams have similar situations : they are both participating for the first time, and very surprisigly got far (very powerful opponents from last year were also here), both are from the country, both are supposedly underdogs, both have a " unsufferable ace striker" and "sponsor" problem, both uses weird tactics, and in the 2 cases, only 1/3 of the team pull their weight. I can go on, but it will be long.
The development during the match : this match has its moments, its "plotwists". It begins with Hakuren having the upper hand, Atsuya dominating Inakuni physically and psychologically (he insults your dad). Then, Asuto makes Inakuni to gather their shit together in the 2nd half, but it actually makes Shirou and Atsuya playing even more serious. Someoka (hey he's here!) makes Nae the new recruit come on the field. Turns out she sucks at sakka. But also is supersonic. And she befriends with Norika the Inakuni goalie because why not. The hakuren coach makes his team to do weird tactics to accomodate Nae, communicating with weird hand sign with the public and the team, and it works, Inakuni is confused. Hattori, a Inakuni defender, is a ninja wannabe so he can understand weird hand sign, and makes Inakuni have the upper hand for once. But, after a father-daughter drama (Nae is the coach's daughter, who is also the sponsor), they stop using hand sign but the Hakuren tactic still works, so Hattori is confused but there is little time left. Shirou, Atsuya and Nae goes to execute Triple Blizzard but it is countered by Counter Drive, by Asuto and Kozomarou (it comes from nowhere), and they goal and win. This is so wtf, i love it. Literally what is going on in this match lmao
The element of surprise : refer to the previous point (and i haven't told everything). This match is the absolute chaos no one saw coming. Everything was unexpected. Even the fraud Counter Drive that comes from nowhere is actually brilliant : Hakuren dominated this match because their main assets were unpredicable (and powerful), but it backfired at them. I used to hate it, but now i know it is chief's kiss.
The team co-op : the actual theme of the episodes. When you think in outer code 1, it was established Hakuren had co-op problems because of Atsuya, and then the match comes and it's perfect, makes me think that we, the audience, has been gaslighted to think they was a problem lol. And let's enjoy the coordination between Shirou and Atsuya + at the end of the match, with all hakuren
Shirou and Atsuya, my babies, my blorbos, my fave. If they are in the episode, you know it will be a good time. It was more focused on Atsuya than Shirou, but i don't hate it since he was goated in this match.
I actually like Nae, their new recruit. Yes, she can be annoying but idk, she's funny. I like the sibling relationship she has with Atsuya and the friendship with Norika. Not the most meaningful things Ares had to offer, but it was nice ! :)
The fact that, upon witnessing this match, Haizaki "has seen the light" where he was at this worst. Like, his team is disqualified, he got beat up by thugs without reason, but then he sees Asuto playing in this match, and suddenly things seems to improve. Truly a Haizaki x Asuto moment. Asuto is Jesus to Haizaki lmao
The Atsuya meme : look at this beauty (unfortunatly, this is also here areorion goes downhill visually but fucking worth it)

rewatching sophomore year (again) and thinking about riz gukgak and his relationship to work/sacrifice as an expression of love.
riz's decision to run himself into the ground in junior year for the sake of the people he loves (who did not ask him to) being the direct result of his conversation with his dad during sophomore year.
pok gukgak in sophomore year looking his son in the eyes and telling him "work is an act of love". riz's idea of a perfect heaven being to work forever without repercussion. his greatest fears being prioritizing his own needs above the case. riz staying up all night the night before school after 3 days of driving back to solace making intricate conspiracy boards and dossiers about what exactly needs to happen for him and his friends to secure the best possible futures they can where theyre still together. putting kristen on his back and taking on tons of stress for the sake of helping her achieve something she wants.
and of course pok's conversation was a contributing factor in this mentality, clearly, but i would like to point out ANOTHER: sklonda gukgak.
pok may have verbally endorsed this behavior of putting others above ur own needs to show ur affection, but sklonda was the living example.
riz spent his entire childhood seeing his mother exhausted, overworked, and struggling just to make sure he had food on the table and a roof over his head.
(theres a scene in i believe freshman year ((possibly during riz's intro in episode 1?)) where she makes cereal for the both of them and i think uses water in hers so he can have milk???))
like of course pok shouldnt have told his young impressionable son that damaging yourself for someone else is love. but riz was already damaging himself for the people he loves.
riz knows his mother loves him more than anything. he never once doubts it. and he knows it bc he sees her practically killing herself to provide for him. love is not only acts of service but complete and utter sacrifice.
work is an act of love so work urself to the edge of death.
work is an act of love so give up your health, your wants, your desires, your identity.
work is an act of love. so never stop working.

@ episode 17: my favourite episode BY FAR! ying lei’s character growth is so beautifully captured despite being a relatively minor character 😭 i hope we see him again soon. I broke down when ying zhao told him that many demons only wanted these three words in their lives: have a choice. This is so apt given everything we’ve seen about the demons so far: from episode 1’s rabbit/liar demon, then ranyi, fei, (I have a feeling lilun too, once we see more of his story) and in episode 16 we finally truly see+understand that zhuyan never had a choice in the bloodshed he caused either. And that entire exchange between zhuyan and yichen?? “Do u think death will clean away everything that has been done?” The revealing of zhuyan’s scars?? Am in absolute shambles 😭 This was such an emotionally charged yet tastefully done episode

with the new episode right around the corner I want to throw my hat in the ring and say I think mephone does know he created the contestants....at least somewhat
I think he knows he made the main cast, but I’m not sure if he’s always known or if its something he figured out along the way. I dont know how aware he is of making the world around them however;
Tumblr media
(here he barely bats an eye at generating an entire hedge maze...does he even realize he’s the one who made it?)
and I dont think he made everyone on purpose
Toilet (Im assuming he was made by mephone because he saw mephoneX and so far the only confirmed objects who can see him are generated) definitely wasnt on purpose....and with how many parallels there are between him and mephone/ mephone and cobs I think Toilet is an accidental reflection of how mephone sees himself. I also think Walkie was made accidentally; a part of him feared having to return to season 2 and....well, she appeared to keep iii going forever. While each object is capable of growing outside of what they were “made for”, I think a lot of them came from mephone’s subconscious desires or feelings
But the interesting thing is Im not sure how many of the other objects we see were created by him. I feel a lot of the unvitational crew could just be normal folks, but if he made the island then how did they get there? I definitively think springy is generated, but was he generated by mephone? they make a comment about “never being like this until they met him”....is this a case of him just assuming they had a life before (like silver in his exit interview) or did they really come from somewhere else?
and THEN theres the case of bow and dough. they just kinda showed up and mephone was pressured into letting them into the show. does cobs also somehow have a way of generating contestants (he did have that wire before toilet took it, and he’s tried killing mephone plenty...why would he do that if he needed mephones powers?) or did mephone just accidentally make them as well?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
his reaction to Walkie’s monolouge is very telling. it might be a truth he’s repressing, but why would he react like that if he didnt know on some level? there are also a lot of little things he says makes me think he is Aware of the fact he made them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
but my biggest take? If we assume he does know he made the cast, I dont think he realizes that none of them know
I can so easily picture him going “What do you mean none of you knew?!” when they resume that call. If cobs was right about one thing, it's that mephone's inexperienced. I mean, he was made for cobs' plan, what does it matter that the contestants were made for the show?? All of this is just Normal to him. I don't think it has ever occurred to him that he SHOULD tell them
but thats just my two cents on it, we wont really know until this saturday (oh god)

SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS THE CHICK WHO IS YET TO HATCHH !!!! RAHHH#insert utena student council theme somewhere around here#and lastly utena and miorine. the “princess”that is ready to take on a world that is threatening her loved one. both are only child god no.#this is my personal feelings but i will find it heartbreaking that despite everthing suletta will runs to miorine no matter how much she#push her away... but i also want and find it interesting where despite loving and believing in her suletta will slowly will ALSO despise#her for letting them drift apart kind of like anthy and utena on the akio apocalypse arc....... do i want this to happen...? do i....? >yes#regardless augh what a heartwrenching lovely episode despite me knowing it will happen at some point during the show#im like the surprised pikachu meme with tears in my eyes

II 16 SPOILERS BELOW THE CUT!!!
don't get me wrong, I am so so so so SO excited for more lightbrush in ii17, along with the emotional damage that comes with the highly probable angst that we're all probably going to be beaten to death with BUT nothing compares to how excited I am for the marshbrush reunion!!! I think we as a fandom all collectively forgot and or glossed over the fact that those two are supposed to be FRIENDS!!! And I can just TELL (hope) that tensions are gonna be HIGH because like, marshmallow left them without a WORD not a goodbye, not a see you later, NOTHING, and that really upset them!!! they were HEARTBROKEN!!!(/exg(probably)) Nobody even knew where she or apple were, and nobody would've guessed the weird creepy manor they visited once for a challenge! I'm just so excited to see what ii has whipped up for us on that one!!! I've been waiting for SO LONG to get this reunion!!! (Fyi I'm gonna be so embarrassed if inanimate insanity forgot paintbrush and marshmallow had a whole unresolved arc too)

Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai
What the boy finds two hours into the tunnels a mound of bones and more of the monkey creatures only adds to the mystery.
Once more Yukiya shows his worth in a scrap, but he’s in serious trouble down there until unexpected help arrives. One can guess that
Nazukihiko knew of another way in, but how he came to be there in that moment is the key question. He’s obviously not about to let
