Why Kageyama Reiji (Ray Dark) is one of the best characters & villains 

Just a quick summary of his life, traumas and faults.

While some people might agree with the title of this post, I think there still are many ie fans who consider Kageyama Reiji to be a naturally evil man without scruples and morals who acts evil just for the sake of it. This is a very simplistic view which completely flattens the complexities of this character. It is true that IE is an anime with a young target audience, but there are also many dark details and sensitive issues that are worth focusing and reflecting on even and especially as teenagers or adults.

As regards Kageyama Reiji's childhood, I think we all know that Reiji has only negative memories of it. Reiji was of kindergarten age when he saw his beloved father, the great soccer player Kageyama Tougo, go from being a celebrity acclaimed by everyone to being the disappointment of an entire nation, which lead him to break down and abandon his family. Reiji saw his family shattered within a very short period of time, as his mother died around this time, thus leaving her son completely alone. All of Reiji’s memories are inextricably linked to the moment when he witnessed his father being not only humiliated on the football pitch, but also insulted and basically “verbally abused” by hundreds of “fans”, who were immediately ready to trade their “soccer idol” for another more talented one. (The scene where Reiji is among those “soccer fans” who were throwing stuff at Tougo is kinda heartbreaking)

From this moment on, a rapid decline of Kageyama family’s life into death and loneliness began (or simply continued). As i wrote earlier, Reiji gets abandoned by his parents, and it’s precisely this aspect that I’d like to focus on...  When Reiji gets arrested for the last, final time, Onigawara Gengorou (Gregory Smith), the man who spends the whole series investigating on Kageyama’s past, says that it’s impossible that Reiji was the man behind all the potentially criminal actions that have been taking place in the last 40 years (since the day the Inazuma Eleven’s bus got hijacked). If we take into account other explanations given by Onigawara himself, we understand that his doubts are well-founded, because at the time of the incident I just mentioned, Reiji was around ten or twelve years old. 

We all already know the identity of the man behind all of Reiji’s actions: Garshield (Zoolan). He was the one that approached Reiji when this latter was a merely traumatized, wounded, lonely child, instilling in him the desire for revenge, fuelling it by promising him all sort of stuff.

Of course, nothing and no one can justify the crimes to which Reiji actually contributed (thus getting his own hands dirty since he was a child while his puppet master - Garshield - was watching everything from afar and enjoying the money he got from his shady deeds). 

Now, I don’t know whether Reiji saw Garshield as a sort of “father figure” who would help him heal from all the pain through revenge, maybe he did see him that way at first, but regardless of this he indeed spent the most crucial years of his life with Garshield as his only adult figure of reference. Could he ever have become a functional adult?

When Reiji realizes he can no longer submit to Garshield’s orders, this latter calls him a mere pawns in his hands and, while referring to the incident that will took Reiji’s life away, he states that death is what you have to expect when you bite the had that fed you. I don’t know about other dubs, but in the Italian one Reiji often emphasises to Kidou the importance of knowing how to move the pawns as effectively as possible. Mistakes couldn’t be allowed. Spending an entire life to the dependencies of the only adult figure who raised you - a tyrannical figure with no morals - unfortunately led Reiji to repeat the same dysfunctional patterns, attitudes, behaviours he learnt from Garshield. All of this took effort, so much effort, because after all, as he said to Fidio (Paolo), he used to long for the light, but he ended up hating it because he no longer had the chance to lay his eyes on it, so he had no choice but to rely on the darkness in order to survive.

It is now necessary to talk about Reiji’s “greatest Creature”, for it was the encounter with Kidou that first shakes the walls around his heart; it was Kidou’s rebellion that instilled in him doubts, insecurities, fear… and that awakened the trauma of failure, humiliation, loss, abandonment. Reiji’s relationship with Kidou becomes obviously dysfunctional at some point, Reiji literally freaks out when Kidou decides to move away from him (thus breaking some sort of generational trauma cycle). Being abandoned again by someone he cared about was not part of his plans and it is something that tears him apart so deeply that he is willing to do anything (even to attempt to create a perfect copy of him through Demonio Strada / Giulio Acuto) to make Kidou come back to him. 

Another crucial moment in Kageyama’s “redemption arc” is the match between Orpheus and Inazuma Japan, which makes the above mentioned walls falter once and for all. And here some of the credit goes to Fidio. Why him? Why not Kidou? It actually makes sense that someone with a “similar” past as Reiji but who isn’t emotionally attached to him was able to grasp the reasons of his actions better than someone (Kidou) who, whether you like it or not, will forever be affectively attached to him.

And well, the rest is history. Reiji is forced to face with his darkest trauma while watching Fidio play soccer the way his father, Kageyama Tougo, used to play. He immediately loses his temper, yells at Fidio to stop playing like the man who destroyed his whole existence and made him hate soccer… and then breaks down. “What do you know about it?” he angrily asks Fidio “What do you know about the darkness I had to carry inside of me? You know nothing about it!” And it was true. No one could have ever imagined what he went through… Still, there was one last chance of salvation. The veil was torn, the mask fell, and tears started streaming down his face. He was finally ready to forgive his father, to look at the blue sky again for the first time in a long time, to embrace the light, to be reborn… in death. “The darkness is finally over” and so is his own life.

I’m almost done, I promise, I just wanted to highlight a parallelism which I find quite beautiful: the one between Reiji raising his eyes to the sky and being able to feel emotions again after being freed from the darkness and Rushe being able to see again thanks to Reiji himself, who paid the medical expenses of her eye surgery. “ Rushe, I want you to watch closely with your eyes… and feel with all of your senses the magnificence of soccer, the sport I have spent my whole life hating… but also loving. “ Reiji writes in the letter that Rushe will read only after his death. 

The final scene of episode 106 in which:

the news announces the death of Kageyama

Rushe reads the letter and expresses her wish to see Reiji asap to talk with him about soccer

and Jude, hearing the little girl’s words, bitterly sighs and clutches Reiji’s glasses in his hands  

is heartbreaking, almost gut-wrenching to say the least, especially if we take into consideration the fact that Kageyama had decided to take care of Rushe a long time before… he could no longer stand the idea that someone could get hurt because of the sport he most hated and loved at the same time (this makes us understand that he had long ago decided to turn his back on Garshield: his process of repentance had already begun), that’s why he paid for her eye surgery, visited her several times at the hospital, sent her letters… and eventually learnt to love her as if she was his daughter. All of this made him feel a bit relieved: “After all, by doing so you felt that your heart was little by little escaping from the darkness into which it had sunk, didn’t you?“ Nakata once said to him. But the guilt was still too much. The sins on his conscience were terribly heavy. He knew he did not deserve the gratitude, the light, the smiles of that little girl who so cheerfully talked to him about wanting to learn to play soccer from him and who so lovingly called him… uncle (おじさん).

7 Seeds Week, day 3!

Theme of the day: Wild animal

Starring: Gengorou and Natsu

Day 3: Wild Animal

“Paw prints?” Ayu asks, looking up from the plant she was examining.

“Ye-yes” Natsu confirms “They, um, they looked like a cat’s, but they were a little too big, so I was thinking, um… a tiger, perhaps?”

Ayu looks thoughtful, but other than that, Natsu can’t read her expression.

“I probably shouldn’t have said anything; what if they weren’t a feline’s footprints after all?” Natsu thought nervously “What if it was some other animal that has already been spotted here? Ayu-san could get mad at me for wasting her time.”

“Show me where you saw them”

“Huh?” she wanted to see?

“We need to see if it really is some feline beast; it could be dangerous” Ayu said “Fortunately felines don’t tend to move in packs, but we can’t be sure. And even one could be dangerous if it was aggressive.”

“R-right” Natsu said. Leading Ayu to the pawprints, she really hoped that they were what she thought they were.

“But wait, if they are, then it’ll be dangerous” she realized “It’d be better if I was wrong, even if Ayu-san would get mad.”

“It really is a tiger or a similar feline” Ayu said, both to Natsu’s relief and horror “Though they’re a little small; perhaps it’s just a cub?”

Natsu didn’t comment, for it seemed like Ayu was talking more to herself than asking her opinion.

“We should tell Gengorou about this; he has experience with tigers” he did? Team Summer A was amazing.

---------------

“A tiger?” Gengorou repeated, and to Natsu he seemed excited.

“Ye-yes” she confirmed. Somehow, she had ended up having to be the one to tell him as Ayu had gone to round up the puppies, just in case the feline was still nearby “Or some other type of feline. Ayu-san said it might be just a cub.”

“Interesting” he said, but his face suddenly supported a frown “And a little worrying. If there’s one, there could be more. We haven’t seen any so far, but if any start showing up, they might cause harm to our community. We should take a look at this. Where did you see the paw prints?”

Natsu led him over to the prints, looking around a bit nervously, fearing that the feline might jump out from somewhere. But on the other hand, keeping an eye out for the animal kept her from being too nervous about being alone with Gengorou. Natsu didn’t really know him; had never really even talked to him in fact aside from a few words as she and Ayu introduced the new plants they’d discovered. Fortunately, he seemed like a serious person, not like someone who’d mess with people.

“Here” she said, realizing right after that it was pointless; Gengorou could clearly see the prints himself. Not that he seemed to mind. Examining the marks, he said: “I think it really is a tiger. A cub, I’m sure. That’s worrying.”

“Because if there’s a cub here, the mother won’t be far” Natsu silently murmured to herself, but it didn’t go unheard by her companion.

“Exactly” he said “The track leads to the woods; let’s see how far we can get.”

“We?” Natsu repeated. Did he expect to go after it now? And just the two of them?

“I don’t see a reason why not” Gengorou said, looking at Natsu “It’s better to go now so that we won’t lose the trail.”

“But… won’t it be dangerous?” she asked, unable to meet Gengorou’s eyes.

“Perhaps, but we’ll be cautious” Gengorou said “I have my gun along too, so if it becomes necessary, I can use it.”

“But…”

“…I won’t force you to come if you don’t want to” Gengorou said “I can go alone.”

Natsu didn’t want to go; she was a little scared and being alone with Gengorou made her nervous. But-

“No, I’ll come” she said as confidently as she could. It could be dangerous, so it was no good to let him go alone, no matter how capable he was. And as a cat person, part of her wanted to see the tiger.

“Alright then” he said “Let’s go.”

---------------

After they’d walked a while, the silence between them got overwhelming for Natsu and she gathered her courage to ask: “Um, shouldn’t we have told someone where we’re going?”

“I’m sure Ayu already knew I’d do this” Gengorou told her “She’ll come after us if we take too long to her liking.”

Natsu could imagine her doing that, directing her annoyance at the two of them. She wasn’t looking forward to that.

They almost lost the track a few times, Natsu definitely would have had she been alone, but Gengorou always managed to find it again. Eventually he came to a sudden halt, holding out his arm to signal for Natsu to stop as well.

Realizing that they must’ve found the feline, Natsu tensed. She really hoped it was just a cub like the Summer A members had thought.

“There’s two of them” Gengorou said quietly, and Natsu peeked around him to confirm this. Indeed, there were two at the coastline, a cub and an adult, probably it’s mother, but the later looked hurt, perhaps even dead.

“Stay here” Gengorou whispered as he pulled out his gun, and Natsu really hoped it was just to be safe. He walked over to the felines slowly and cautiously. Natsu could see the cub hissing at her companion, baring its fangs. She could see Gengorou kneeling down in front of it, not too close, letting it get used to him, all the while most likely keeping an eye on the bigger feline. Finally, after the cub had calmed down, curiously sniffling the man, he slowly rose, going towards the remaining feline.

“It’s dead” he called out loud enough for Natsu to hear after a while. She was relieved, but also a little sad for the cub; it was all alone now.

Coming out of her hiding place, Natsu approached the cub silently, much like Gengorou had done. It hissed at her as well, but stopped not long after. Getting used to the other human around must’ve sped up it’s process of getting used to her.

“Hello” she cooed to the kitten- ahem, tiger as it sniffed her hand. As she did, she noticed that it was hurt; it was dragging it’s left back paw “Are you hurt?”

“It does seem to be” Gengorou said as he came over, and Natsu decided to keep the fact that she wasn’t actually asking it to herself “But it didn’t look all that bad; I’m sure it’ll heal with the right help.”

“That’s a relief” Natsu said. Otherwise she would’ve cooed it to the kitten, but she feared what Gengorou would say about it, so she held her tongue. Instead, she asked: “Do you think these two are the only ones?”

“Very likely; I think they crossed the sea to get here” the man said “They must’ve been swept away by the current.”

“That’s so sad” Natsu muttered, carefully scooping up the tiger cup. She held it firmly enough to not drop it, but loosely enough that if it wanted to jump away, it could. But it didn’t seem to mind. Natsu wanted to take it home with her, but knew it wasn’t that simple. This wasn’t a cat; while the tiger was probably harmless now, there could be trouble when it grew up. But to leave it all alone…

“I didn’t expect you to just pick it up” Gengorou said, startling Natsu. She had almost forgotten he was there “I… I’m sorry.”

“Ah no, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing” he said, smiling as he stroked the tiger’s fur “Most people would just be too afraid to do so.”

Natsu blushed a little, feeling like it was a compliment, though she couldn’t be sure.

“…What should we do about this?” she asked “It might not make it if we leave it alone.”

“That could be” Gengorou said “We could take it along for now, at least until it’s healed. Maybe we could even keep it around.”

“You think so?” Natsu asked hopefully.

“Not in the settlement of course, but somewhere close” Gengorou said “If the others don’t mind, of course. I like tigers, but the same can’t be said for everyone. Understandable when we think of what could go wrong.”

“We won’t know without asking, will we?” Natsu said, suddenly determined “We should try.”

She just hoped that that just now hadn’t come across as an order and made Gengorou mad.

“Yes, we should” he agreed, much to her delight “Do you want to talk to Ayu?”

“Eh? Me?” the idea was rather scary; Ayu was scary “I… that’s…”

“I can talk to her myself if you’re not up to it” Gengorou said “Actually, that might be for the best as I know her better. How about you talk to Botan-san instead?”

That was a good idea, and it’d be easier. But…

She couldn’t just always pick the easy way out.

“No” she said “I can talk to Ayu-san. Botan-san too of course, but I’ll be able to talk to Ayu-san!”

“Alright then” she was glad that he didn’t see any problem with it; she had no idea how to handle it if he got angry “We should head back.”

“Right” Natsu said, fixing her hold on the tiger so that it wouldn’t fall. Eyeing her, Gengorou asks: “Should I carry it?”

“No, I can do this” this was the one thing Natsu could say with confidence “I know what I’m doing.”

“You have experience with tigers?” Gengorou asked, making Natsu blush again “Ah, not exactly. I um, I had a cat, so…”

“I see, I suppose the basics of handling them might be similar” he paused “But a tiger is definitely more dangerous if something goes wrong.”

“…Yes…” she knew that of course; she wasn’t stupid, but she was sure she could handle this… or at least, she had been sure. Now she started to doubt herself again.

“I actually took care of a tiger in the past” Gengorou said suddenly, making Natsu look at him in shock “Ban-Chan and Ayu-san too; we were in the animal class together” he pauses, but then adds: “His name was Tango.”

“My cat’s name was Macademia Nuts” Natsu told in return “Nuts for short.”

This was what they called small talk, right? Natsu had never been good at that, but maybe she could handle it when it was about animals?

“What species was it, if you don’t mind me asking?”

Natsu didn’t mind at all; she loved to talk about cats. And surprisingly, talk they did, all the way back to the settlement, and they were by no means in a hurry.

As they finally got back, Natsu handed the tiger cub to Gengorou, leaving to look for Ayu. As she did, she wondered if she could consider herself having made a new friend today.
