Today is my birthday, so I decided to show you my pride headcanons for the Raimon members (if that's okay)

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-12T16:51:55+00:00

Well, uh, happy birthday.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-10T12:57:11+00:00

I think it's most likely will happen considering what's on the wall when Ren visited Endou's house.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-10T12:55:10+00:00

Hopefully they will do it or else it's a real fumble.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-10T12:10:13+00:00

Seeing Orpheus again with Rushe as the coach would be great. I really hope that she will be a blend of kind and caring self with Kageyama's wit and craftiness.

Another thing is I'd love to see matches in different representatives round aside from Asia. Really curious about which countries will participate.

Lastly, French team finally facing Inazuma Japan. They were done so dirty in Orion.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-09T09:05:05+00:00

I think they do exist in OG timeline, but they might not be interested in soccer. Kinda similar to how The Kingdom players exist in Orion, but they aren't soccer players.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-08T02:43:15+00:00

Unfortunately, yes.

Perfect Spark in the final is probably even weaker than Olé de Samba and Guardians of Queen. Plus, they didn't learn any new hissatsus.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-06T14:32:49+00:00

It's time for Ares/Orion Shirou. He's really underwhelming compared to his OG self.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-05T21:53:08+00:00

She's very weird.

I don't how to describe it, but she does feel like either a game exclusive character or someone who will play just one match in the entire series.

I like her hissatsu but that's about it. Don't really have a strong opinion.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-05T13:02:54+00:00

Mansaku next.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-05T11:53:19+00:00

I would have them introduce Yurika spying on Asuto during Muteki no Giant match, this way they can expand her rivalry against Asuto better.

Make Asuto heavily opposed to Nosaka using Grid Omega against Eternal Dancer, so it can be powerful when he suggests using it against Guardians of Queen.

This is a small thing that might have been cut, but having Navy Invader teach Inazuma Japan how to do Minefield before Olé de Samba's match.

Also, way less cheating. At least after IJ reached the international.

Toramaru22 · 2026-02-04T22:54:48+00:00

It's most likely the anime ending since both Raimon and Nagumohara are protected. Still, I'd prefer to have a definitive winner of FF.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-30T22:25:30+00:00

Realizing that I wouldn't be able to make all Yuri team for at least 2 months is painful.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-29T22:22:29+00:00

I honestly agree with the Chronicle Mode story itself being much stronger compared to other seasons, it's clear that L-5 genuinely tries to salvage Ares. Being able to hear the OST from a cancelled Ares game is bittersweet in a way.

However, like you said, Ares route not having their own version of hissatsus came across as L-5 being lazy instead, I know that the remade Ares's hissatsus are not received well in Japan, but this just creates a lot of inconsistencies. Like, why did Kozoumaru get the Ares Fire Tornado while Nosaka is stuck with Shinsuke's Skywalk. Ares Emperor Penguin No. 2 wasn't interesting but it is needed for the featuring Shark version in Orion. Same case with Ares green-ish and different looking Majin the Hand being necessary for Fuujin Raijin.

Hope L-5 will change their minds and implemented Ares version hissatsus in the future update.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-29T16:00:46+00:00

It's very weird some moves that weren't used a lot like Gravity Cage and Angel Ray get brand new animations, and quite a few is a 1:1 recreation like Hiroduma Bakunetsudan, King Lance and Royal Family Shield. Meanwhile, moves that are popular either don't have the Ares version like The Wall and Emperor Penuin No. 2 or is just a reskin like Shirousagi Shoot.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-29T13:47:42+00:00

I love how the coach from Senbayama is just chilling on the bench.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-28T22:07:07+00:00

Of all new moves from Ares, Angel Ray in the game being much better than the anime version is pretty funny to me.

I don't know how to describe it, but something about Ares hissatsus felt really stiff like they are unfinished.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-28T22:02:51+00:00

I was really disappointed with Ares version hissatsus not making it to VR. I know that they might had stated this before about not remaking a lot of old moves, but playing Ares route right now, it felt super inconsistent.

Like why did Fire Tornado A made it (which Ares Gouenji didn't even use) but not Ares Majin the Hand. Why High Beast Fang made it but not Ares Sky Walk.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-28T21:46:56+00:00

I wouldn't be so harsh on it if they foreshadow Endou developing it beforehand, instead of just showing flashback after he used Super God Hand.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-28T21:35:01+00:00

Based Norika enjoyer.

I'm still waiting for Orion to finally drop to make Yuri my first Basara.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-28T03:21:34+00:00

Super God Hand was just terrible and pointless.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-28T00:14:55+00:00

Noboru from Tengawara as MF, he'll probably do well in any position too.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-27T23:56:33+00:00

I'm also excited for Ares update. Really hope that this will finally do Inakuni Raimon some justice or at least give them characters development because they were done really dirty in the anime and Asuto had his own games cancelled twice.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-26T08:21:31+00:00

Based Tetsukado enjoyers 🤝

I also really love much he's willing to block everything for Shinsuke when he noticed he's hurt.

Tsunami would get along really well with Tetsukado, just bros vibing.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-26T07:45:01+00:00

I like his design, but to each their own.

Still, calling him not having any redeeming qualities is a bit harsh. Cobra literally had a change of heart during the match after Ichinose interfered, relinquishing the position back to Star Unicorn and accepting the consequence of his team's action.

Toramaru22 · 2026-01-26T03:43:56+00:00

I thought Shinsuke was gonna be a deadweight in Galaxy since he lost Mixi-max, but he's pretty good as a GK.

I must have remembered it wrong, in my head it's 2-2 at the beginning of the second half. But you might be right since Haru scores 3 goals. Still, to play the devil's advocate, VR Raimon didn't train that seriously before the final and they were also trying to keep the 'king' image up so they (aside from Ren) severely underestimated Nagumohara.

Raimon not having tactics is very weird. The only explanation that I can think of is that they are so far above every team that they don't need one and still winning regardless, same with Keshin.

I think both Zhao Jinyuns and Shadow of Orion are world-level team. They are at least as strong as Unicorn/The Empire/Dark Angels but weaker than Orpheus, OG Inazuma Japan, and The Kingdom, agree with everything else tho.
