#raimon eleven

[hereforthecartoons]

the real reason endou (or any of the other members of raimon) never clocked that anything was going on with fubuki was because if you had to deal with the dramatics of gouenji and kidou on a daily basis too and just everything they went through in the FF, you'd look at a kid that changes his name every time he scores a goal and be like: 'sure man whatever you say.'

A few hours before the beta, i want to share what i WANT to happen for the raimon eleven (go) after a full school year and Endou decided to go back to playing soccer professionally (i think he deserves to enjoy soccer as long as he can still play it considering goalkeepers retire in the pro field earlier than the field players)

Everyone is happy that they can watch him again as a goalkeeper they looked up to but they're sad that their coach is no longer their coach and they have doubts on whoever's going to succeed him. It was a sad goodbye... but Endou told them there was someone even better than him who could succeed him.

Endou is a coach who focuses on pushing you to do your best but not on the little details considering the how and everytime he realizes he needed help in this part, he asks for his friends to help the team.

If we know anything about crafting a skill, is that it will make you crash down and burn if you're unaware how your body works or how to take care of it. There is also something to be said about finding how things work for you and accepting that it will not be how it works for others.

Thanks to Haruna looking after the team, they never experienced any of that tragedy. Before and especially after the team had Kidou as their trainer (or literally just having a formal trainer once), Haruna set even more focused eyes on strengthening the fundamentals and has learned to individualized training for them. She still does her former role in the team, which is research, support, and attending to resources-adjacent responsibilities.

That being said, the team still needs aid in strategizing, coordinating, flexibility, and resilience during a match that a coach would need to fulfill. Someone who can watch the match calmly and meticulously to aid the team in adjusting to the best course of action in the middle of a tensed match.

Enter Endou Natsumi.

It's simple but let's go over some little headcanons first, Raimon Jr. High's chairperson is Natsumi since chrono stone but before inago started I think she was going with Endou in the country and league he was playing for. She uses this opportunity to learn more about soccer and more about how athletes think and work and what they usually need and how they improve. All of this combined with her already high interest in the sport and everything she learned as a manager for the entirety of middle and high school (maybe even college).

The team had doubts because Natsumi has only ever been in the background in the soccer world until this point. To be honest, she doesn't look like the type to be interested in soccer... but coach Endou vouched for her! He makes crazy decisions but they're not all impulsive. And they trust him. So they did trust her as they trusted him. And it only took one match for them to understand why she's the best candidate for the position.

I know this won't happen but a little creature can dream.

The first match Raimon plays after the aliea incident is a friendly match against Teikoku.

Everyone is excited to get back on the field. To actually play soccer for fun instead of making it a war.

Teikoku attacks first. Endou defends. When he throws the ball back into the field, he accidently hits Kazuki with it in the stomach. He doubles over and spits up blood.

It's a mess, but Teikoku brushes it off as a freak accident. They insist on moving on with the game.

Wataru intercepts one of Kidou's passes and collapses clutching his leg. Later, they find out it's broken. When Genda catches Gouenji's shot, he crumbles to the floor and has to be rushed to the hospital.

Later, Hitomiko calls them, pale faced.

The ball used on the game against Genesis weighted over 10 kilos.

Somewhere along the way, they had changed. Pushed themselves too far. It was a sacrifice they made, to reach the level of enhanced humans that brought buildings to the ground with a few kicks. They had beaten them, and that took power.

Even members like Kazemaru and Someoka, who had to leave, were on a different level. Kazemaru could outrun a car.

It takes months of physical therapy, contioning and even medication for them to have government clearence to participate in the FFI.

Soccergammamon really loves to play soccer, I think he wearing Raimon's uniform (actually, Raimon is a soccer club in Inazuma eleven). He's gonna feel it like arion sherwing (tenma matsukaze).

Soccergammamon needs more fan

Wished we had more interactions between genda and endou (sorry I’m always complaining 💀)

Also I love saying I dislike a ship but then forcing myself to like it and now I love endou and natsumi, they’re perfect… except for the fact that natsumi should be Girlbossing OUTSIDE of her damn house, gtfo and become president instead of cooking

Me at three in the morning: Endou Mamoru, despite being portrayed as immature and naive in canon, actually fits nearly perfectly in the "Mother" archetype. At the same time, his rage is female coded. In this essay I will-
