Hi! I'm loving the FFI stuff so much lol. Whenever I need food I come here /j I actually also adore Senbayama but they get very little love (the most coming from... Reddit). I'd love to hear stuff if you have any in store! My favorite is Yamane, but the Mugen no Kabe trio are AMAZING

...Senbayama.... That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.... 🚬

...Jokes aside. Long story short, years ago there was a time where I was obsessed with Senbayma 😭 They genuinely were the OGs when writing headcanons and I still treasure a lot I've written for them; even if sharing it wasn't easy. After years of seeing this team get ignored or treated badly, it makes me happy how the fandom opinion is slowly changing; at least in one part of the community ;v;

Either way, here's some brief Senbayama things for ya :D

First off, the location of the school... I feel like SBY is either in the Tohoku region (North east) or in Kyushu (Where Tachimukai's city, Fukuoka, is). For years this dilemma has been bothering me, and it remains undecided to this day. I remember that my arguments for Tohoku were because many of their spoken dialogue was similar to the actual dialect of the region (For example, Tanushimaru and Harano ending their sentences with -ppe). As for Kyushu, I genuinely don't remember the reasons why anymore, but all I remmeber is that nearby Fukuoka there's a place named Tanushimaru. Overall, this is why I'm quite vague with the location.

Regarding the school itself... Given its location on the high mountains, it's not very easy to access this school unless you're willing to walk a loooooot of stairs. It's overall student body is small, and its stubborness on not getting in touch with the newer technologies makes it not very attractive to people outside its area. Nonetheless, for the local children, it's still a simple yet comfy place.

(In one of the Matane no Kisetsu ending pictures you can see Ayano and Harano walking through a field with barely any mountains minus in the background, which makes you wonder how much it takes to arrive at SBY on the first place....)

Special thanks to @//ryuusei-boi for making a clean version of this pic <3

Other thing to point out on the school's official art; but for some reason the only sport taught at Senbayama is soccer. And even then the school has a complicated relationship with it. The field was originally meant to be a resting area from classes, but its purpose was changed because of the insistence of the students on wanting more active subjects. Will other sports be added to the curriculum? Maybe... But there are other important issues to deal with first, such as actually adding fences to the field. RIP to all those soccer balls that fell by accident.

Now with some of the players... I LOVE THE MUGEN NO KABE TRIO!!! They were my favorites <3333 I've always cherished the headcanon of them being very close friends, mostly because the game itself says that the MNK is based off trust.

Once classes (and after school time) ends, I like to picture them going to Shiotani's house every so often :> Mostly to practice some more or just to chill, and sometimes even staying for dinner! The Shiotani family has a big enough orchard to feed everyone 💪 In few occassions the three go visit Makiya's family instead, although it is harder to access and not very big. And as for Ayano's house, it's off-limits.

As for Yamane, one of my main headcanons for him was that his family owns a goat farm -that's where the daily milk comes from-; but You himself had always wanted to get one for himself, be as a pet or just an animal to take care of. This was his motivation for winning the Football Frontier in fact, thanks to a promise he made with his older sister! It didn't come true because of Raimon, but You is still hopeful... Though, years after writing this, I've now found out him having his own goat is actually canon; at least in his japanese profile. Good for him ;v;

THANK YOU both for your ask; and also for making me write about Senbayama again! 💚 I apologize by how long this reply took, so many things happened in these weeks to a point it's stressful 😭

As an extra, here's a very old meme I did of Yamane and the other SBY 3rd years. They were another favorite group of mine ~
