Inktober 2023 ; Day 7/31

Day 7 : Drip / Goutte

No pun intended !!!

I mean she is a Naiadi, who are the people of water in Inazuma Eleven GO, and her European name is literally Droplit Tunaka ! (Chuluka Potta)

Moreover, I love her ! She is just too cute for my heart to handle ! So she was perfect for this theme.

Of course I didn't just draw her. Since she is also a Naiadi, I drew her manipulating drips of water, since they have some sort of telekinesis and all.

[skylardoesthings]

literally nothing is stopping me from connecting Aliea Academy with the Aliens from Galaxy.

[zakuryoishi]

i love galaxy but in the sazanaara episode it would've been so interesting to see the other azuls too, and not only tenma and hayato's because that green positive azul on everyone except them was pretty boring to me. i know tenma's the protag and it was matatagi's development arc but you know. i cant really see everyone being that positive knowing sazanaara ppl can "read minds"

[princesslocket]

3 and 20 for the Inazuma Eleven ask?

3. Favorite Match

Okay this one’s a tie between (IE Ares) Inakuni Raimon vs Hakuren and  Sazanaara Eleven vs Earth Eleven! 

I just always find myself going back to watch those matches in particular whenever I think of  either the series. ((I think my favorite part of Raimon vs Hakuren is when Norika uses her Mermaid’s Veil)).

20. Favorite Manager?

Seto Midori!!! She was actually one of the first characters I was introduced to when I first found out about Inazuma Eleven... I had at first only liked her because I thought her design was cool but after going through the entire GO series, I just feel in love with her character entirely. Her tough love towards the team is one to be admired~

Inazuma Eleven Meme: five teams [2/5] → Sazanaara Eleven

[managician]

matatagi and tenma, 26

He hates it. He’s tired of this game of pretending, of acting like he even cares. Matatagi tries to keep down his anger and distrust.

He tries. He really, really tries. But it’s impossible when his entire team is being useless and Sazanaara’s players effortlessly cut off all their passes and plays. 

It’s weird, though, that not even Captain is able to keep up. Matatagi doesn’t want to trust him one bit (lies), but he’s definitely a good player. So why can’t he keep up with his speed?

Are they all really so pathetic and worthless? He can feel his hatred growing, more and more, and he’s forced to clutch his chest to calm himself down, because, right now, he wishes he could yell at all of them how stupid they are.

When the alien Powai tells everyone his true thoughts, how poorly he thinks of everyone, something inside him finally breaks under the pressure, bursting alive.

“That’s just the kind of person I am! And I’m not going to let you criticize me for that!” he yells at the top of his lungs, angrily, hoping that his message is clear enough.

“Matatagi...” Tenma mutters in surprise, as if he’s realizing something important. 

“What? What is it? Do you hate me, too?” he asks, turning to look at him, fully expecting to see hurt and loathing in Tenma’s face.

However, he’s rendered speechless when everything Tenma has to offer is a tiny smile. “Of course I don’t. What’s there to hate?” he counters, sounding genuinely curious to hear his answer.

“Huh...?”

Tenma takes a few steps towards him, looking directly into his eyes.

Matatagi is taken aback when he sees the pure kindness that Tenma is offering him. There’s no malice, not a single drop of the cold look that Matatagi was so used to receive. He doesn’t know what to say.

“It’s okay, Matatagi. None of us are as good as we’d like to be, but you need to accept yourself. It’s okay to be you.”

And it’s like that something that got broken is healing itself, putting itself together once more. 

Matatagi can’t deny it any longer. Tenma is so good-hearted, so genuinely caring. And his simple-minded words are making the walls that Matatagi put up around himself during all his life crumble down. 

“You...” Matatagi begins, stunned, but all he can do is keep his mouth hanging open in shock, because, after all this time, somebody is finally giving him the reassurance he always needed.

Tenma smiles again, and his gaze is unbelievable gentle. He’s reaching out a hand towards him, open and trusting, with no ounce of doubt. “Let’s play soccer, Matatagi!”

For the very first time in years, Matatagi’s heart feels warm and light.

Tenma shines so brightly that it’s hard to look at him. In a matter of minutes, he managed to make his way into his dark, twisted heart.

Matatagi grins back, taking Tenma’s hand and deciding that...

“Trusting you isn’t too bad.”

THANK YOU NONNY!! This got too long again, rip me. I seriously love these two and I think that they’re one of the ships with more chemistry in the entire series. They mutually manage to see each other for who they really are, and that’s just amazing.

send me a number and a pair for a drabble!

In which Tsurugi escapes and saves the galaxy + red string of fate AU

WARNINGS: heavily not following the original plot; OOC; multiple aus; angst.

This is kind of complicated to explain. What you should know first is that this au was born BEFORE i knew of Ozrock's controversy and the general plot. Literally when I was so much in rage because i just saw the episode where Tsurugi was kidnapped. I'll never forget the things I felt that day.

 Anyway, what comes next is quite a lot more overwhelming than i remembered it to be when I was searching up among the numerous Headcanons I created for myself throughout the years.

 (I repeat: FOR MYSELF. It means these weren't supposed to be here, bc they're... trashy?) 

 The story starts with Tsurugi waking up from a weird dream/nightmare (he can't really tell), but he remembers a very long red wire that connected his pinky to another one's. But the moment his gaze is on that person face, the dream stops. He wakes up and notices he's not in his chamber but in a cell. He remembers he's been kidnapped by a sosia of him and immediately thinks that this is the work of the people from Faram Obius. He talks to Lalaya, who was the one who sent the fake Tsurugi to kidnap him. He's enraged and tries everything in his power to find a way to escape from that prison and go back to his friends.

 Something that looks like Pixie comes to his rescue and helps him escape from the planet, using one of the ship that were left there. He doesn't know where to go, and the petrol of the ship is gradually decreasing, so he has to stop to the nearest planet: Sazanaara. He meets Hilary there, because it's her mother planet and apparently it will be soon destroyed by Faram Obius' army. Tsurugi knows that it's not fair, that something like that will surely happen to Earth too if he doesn't do something.

 He then reunites all the best players he encountered in the galaxy and form a new team, the team that will go against Earth Eleven, but they have a plan: destroy Faram Obius' cannon. This is thanks to Acrous, the pixie that accompanied Tsurugi all this time, that supported them throughout the preparations, especially mentally. 

 Now you will ask, where's the KyouTen in all of this? The thing is, as you could figure it out yourselves, the person in Tsurugi's dream is actually Tenma. The red wire connects the two of them, and only now appears before their eyes because of the distance they had to experience. The bond is so strong that they can even communicate via telepathy. 

 Tenma is struggling to not be found out by Fake Tsurugi because he knows he's not his Tsurugi. Fake Tsurugi tries to be as 'true' as possible but Tenma doesn't fall for that. When Fake Tsurugi escapes with Minori and the stones, the guys look at a unimpressed Tenma, who heavily sighs and falls on the ground. He wonders about the next step Tsurugi will take now that they don't have the stones in their possession anymore. 

 From now on it follows the original plot, but the Tenma of this AU is conscious of what Tsurugi is doing and, when he sees the red wire linking their pinkies, he feels so much more relieved. 

 Because the distance from his soulmate has lessened. 

 (of course, in the end they officially become a couple. And Tsurugi never leaves Tenma's side from that moment on.)

[inagoenthusiast]

personality please? for matatagi minaho and maybe banda,,, thank you !!!!

Matatagi, Minaho, and Banda. All three are from the Galaxy season, so unfortunately I won’t be able to express how they’ve changed throughout all three seasons(because they weren’t there), so hopefully you won’t mind the shortness of length. Also because they all are from Galaxy, I won’t mind analyzing all three of them. 

Alright lets start with Matatagi. Matatagi is another one of those interesting characters that Level 5 added in the Earth Eleven team- especially because his actions have a lot of bearing to the plot(the Sazanaara arc). Matatagi was a track star that was brought up with quite a bit of hardships. After his mother was hospitalized, he and his younger brothers lived on the edge of poverty. As a kid, it thrust a lot of responsibility upon his shoulders, so it’s normal to have a rather cynical outlook upon the world per se. Additionally on top of his disadvantaged youth life, he also had a hard time trusting people- especially because of that toy incident. At first I thought it was a silly reason to change your entire personality on- but then I came to realize that it was because of his poor upbringing- that a seemingly trivial incident like that could have broke him. He already had enough struggle- he didn’t have the heart or energy to deal with one more. However, he was unlucky- and because he met people who really didn’t want much to do with him, he grew cold and almost artificial, hiding who he truly was inside- afraid to embrace his side of darkness. Little did he know that without acknowledging his true personality- he was actually slipping into cold darkness. He was oddly nice to everyone on the Raimon team- but Minaho and Tenma caught on with his facade. He eventually broke again in the Sazanarra(water) planet, where it’s inhabitants could basically mind read. They knew Matatagi’s weakness, and realized that pitting him against Tenma would harm both Tenma and Matatagi immensely. However Tenma is invincible and he somehow convinced Matatagi to embrace his inner self. I feel like his character was all to do with understanding who you as an individual are- and instead of hiding it when unsatisfied- you need to make adjustments to change it instead without losing your originality. We can see this where Matatagi advises his brother to return the toy he stole- in his own “dark sideish” manner. Although his sudden change of attitude was startling- we need to again realize that this show was made for kids, and kids couldn’t really see the difference between Old Matatagi and New Enlightened Matatagi- so that’s why Level 5 probably had to go to such lengths to differentiate. 

Now we have Minaho. Normally in Go, I could see parallels where new characters somehow resemble older ones in the show. They don’t just have to be based on Ina11 characters(like Tenma-Endou, Tsurugi-Gouenji, Kidou-Shindou), but also based older InaGo characters(like Matatagi-Tsurugi). Minaho is something else entirely. He’s a boy that aspires to be a detective like his late father, and he also has a keen eye for things. Minaho has extreme observational skill- often aiding in the logical and research department of soccer. Because in Inazuma, anything and everything can be applied to soccer. Minaho picked up on things that other people couldn’t- like Matatagi’s odd attitude, and the easiest way to defeat the Sazanaara team. Also what I’ve noticed with all of his Hissatsu moves are that they all have something to do with evasion. His first one, kept the ball from the opposing Forward, and his second(more silly) one used psychological trickery to keep the ball and move forward. Maybe this can be an indicator about his entire personality in a whole. Even though Minaho has faced quite a bit- especially with the death of the person he admires a lot, we can see that he doesn’t really lose his curious and fun personality. Minaho doesn’t really open up about his feeling- and I theorize that this could be a result of him trying to evade his problems- or evade his feelings. That’s probably why Minaho and Manabe are such good friends- because they both have opposite dynamics. Manabe seeks to please, excel, and solve- while Minaho strives to trick, evade, and  avoid. I feel like despite the original quarreling, they both learned quite a bit from each other- and only when they overcame their weaknesses, they were able to truly benefit their team. 

And finally we have Banda. Unfortunately because he was only present for a few episodes, it’s hard to have a detailed explanation on him. But I will do my best to theorize. Banda actually startled me with his actions. He didn’t live in depression about his short life, but instead chose to live every moment to the very fullest. He was friendly to the Earth Eleven team from the start- unlike many other teams that Earth Eleven countered- and I feel like that has to do something with his awareness of his lifespan. He doesn’t have time to be mean- so why be mean? I feel like it’s an amazing model for kids, because we don’t know when our life will end. It’s up to us to make the fullest out of it. And as we can see with Banda in the game with Earth Eleven against his own team- we could see clearly how he strove to shine until he died. He wanted to go out with a bang, and so he did- not regretting any moment of his life. It’s a beautiful and short life that he lived, but a life that we can all learn a lot from. 

[bitway-arts]

a Sazanaara self insert OC, her name is Kivu Amanzi and I finally have a full yet chibi colored version of her-

[prctocol-alpha-blog]

I have met several aliens and approximately 82% of them are unpleasant. Particularly the Ixalen, Irken, and Gurdovian. Of the 18% that are pleasant, they are usually those of Ratoniik and Sazanaara.

- Why don’t they ever get yellow/red cards????? :

They got one once didn’t they?? I haven’t even gotten a yellow/red card in the games. Then again they’d probably be getting them left and right if they tried using their moves in a regular soccer match

It taught me about soccer, more of the game really but I know more than I would before lol. Also super great characters & character designs. can i also praise it for taking over my life

- Anything you wanna complain about the series (don’t worry we all know it’s not real hate here) :

Should have done some things they did in the games (best example: making Kazemaru not run away/be frightened of Genesis but have him man up and be stronger), give spotlight on more characters, add more girls/girl only teams.

- Got any IE merch (yes I’m offering you bragging rights) :

Uhh I have almost all the EU games, mini plushies, rubber straps, a...metallic charm??? and cosplay. I think one pin and a little strap to. The ‘unofficial’ merch would be like fanart, doujinshi, and posters. I think thats all.

- What do you think about Ares no Tenbin :

Curious and looking forward to what this AU is going to bring to the series. Also wondering if they’re going to bring in a new...tactic? Like kenshins or something just new. Maybe those bracelet things have a thing to do with it but idk.

- 3 things you love about the IE fandom :

I’d rather not comment about the fandom just because I don’t like the idea of ‘fandoms’ and most are garbage but thats a topic for another day but rather the people I know in it. They’re pretty friendly and I love seeing some headcanons that I’d never think of personally?? But its good to see great artists and writers contributing to it! Also we all accept sakka as another word for soccer I think thats great

- 1 thing you would like to say to the IE community (fandom, producers, etc.) :

Please make a bunch of crossovers with Level-5′s other series (also please appreciate Level-5′s other works they are just as amazing as ina11)

- What do you think about the creator of this whole post (I know. I’m lame. I’m sorry.) :

You seem cool also you love afufubu so??? you’re automatically great in my book ;) hmu anytime about the otp my dude

Tagging: umm...if you want an excuse to do this say I tagged you!
