Redrawing some Sakuma official arts to brute force anatomy (individual arts and references under read more)
Sorry i forgor to add but im an amab kidou only headcanoner hence the thought process in the post. Sorry for the lack of clarification!!!
the thought of kidou being an adoptive father makes me laugh a lil because huh.... so just like his father š
this is unless the partner is a uterus haver and they're willing to bear child but kidou just doesn't strike me that he would do that. he will adopt regardless to give an already existing child a family
Very cute observation I've gotten is how physically affectionate Sakuma is with Kidou and Kidou not minding it because, Sakuma isn't as overly affectionate with the others.
Sakuma cares for the other members and is on friendly terms with them, but he's more lowkey displaying his affection than he does with Kidou.
Episode 94, after Endou gives a speech to the team after he and penguin trio were away and Inazuma Japan lost their match against Argentina's team.
Episode 96, everyone is raising their hand as they're sending Kurimatsu away. You can look closely that Sakuma isn't raising his hand and is doing the same crossed arms pose Fudou does.
As for Kidou, Everyday hints that he doesn't really like to be touched with him frowning whenever he is tapped by the player (Clip 1) (Clip 2) (It's so funny because everyone else smiles when tapped). While it is possible that he grows to become more accustomed to it, he's still awkward especially with sudden contact, lol
Going back to the first pictures I've shown, this is really one of my favorite Kisaku official arts... it's very sweet when one thinks about Sakuma's body language, he's hunching to Kidou's level as he's considerably taller than him, aww
"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.
boy who is friends with soccer !
( and who's got some difficult hair to draw )
sangbaek killed me. watercolor killed me. i fucking died twice
Iām not following Orion right now, heck I didnāt even finish Ares yet, but seeing so many posts on characters analysist and the thing makes me so happy!
And becauseĀ Iām a noisy dumb gremlin I will hop on the analysist cart and do something Iāve always dreamed of doingā¦
This is gonna be a long post, so Iām gonna continue it under the cut.
Aaaaaaaaaaah, Kageyama Reiji⦠The first villain, the big bad wolf, the one who traumatized the children.
But why heās like that? Well, thatās simple, heās a traumatized child himself! Let me explain.
We know that he attended the Raimon and was part of the original Inazuma Eleven 40 year prior to the first series event.
And the Raimon is a middle school, that means that he was between 13!yo and 15!yo at the time. But we canāt stop here.
We need to talk about Kageyamaās father. We know he was kicked out of the national team and then he started to lose every match he played. I think he had some sort of writer block, but for soccer. And fans started to hate him.
We know this from what Onigawara says in episode 22. But I want to point out something he says before all these thingsā¦
āIt started 50 years ago.ā
This means that Kageyama was between 3 and 5 years old when this all started. Basically his first memories were of people mad at his dad on a fucking game. We even get a shot on him as a kid watching as the people around him throws shit and insults his dad.
Pretty traumatizing, uh? But thatās not all! We also know that his father left the family, his mother died from illness and he was left alone.
And the fact that heĀ āwas left all by himselfā bothers me. Itās oddly specific. This is just a theory of mine, but maybe thatās linked to the fact that many minors in Japan are abandoned by their caretaker.
And this all happened before he joined the Raimon, that means that this happened before he was 13 years old.
But weāre not done yet, oh no.
I think Kageyama developed a phobia of losing after all of this. Because not only his methods are extreme, he cheats even when he doesnāt need to! And in the games we know that even as a teen he would do anything to win, itās not a trait he develops as an adult. And in the end his fears are in some ways confirmed when the Zeus loses to the Raimon. He had a pretty nice job, a good reputation, enough money to have a chauffeur, and then a bunch of kids shows up and he loses everything. He even gets arrested and had to fleed the country after he evades. Iām not saying he didnāt deserve it, but that must have been really bad for his mental health.
And then thereās Garshield⦠We know really little about him. We donāt know how much heās old or where is he from, but we know one thing
Garshield helped Kageyama with the sabotage of the Inazuma Elevenās bus. Remember that Kageyama was between 13 and 15 years old at the time, he was a child. A problematic child with behavior problems and with no one watching over him. And Garshield took advantage of him and groomed him to do his dirty work. Even after 40 years Kageyama still worked for Garshield, he was always his puppet.
That obliviously doesnāt justify all the evil deed he has done, he harmed children in many ways, but heās not so different from Fudou or Tsurugi and the othersĀ ābadā children in this anime. The difference between then and Kageyama is that Reiji was helped by the wrong person, a person that wanted to use him.
Yeah I donāt know how to end this⦠I just love Kageyama as a character, heās something more than theĀ ābad guyā we usually see and I explained why.
Thanks for the attention, byeeee
When my mutuals dont post for a long time and I notice I imagine them like wandering a lonely mountain in a flowing cloak at dusk. Holding a little lantern. Yknow. and i always wish them well on that imaginary dramatic journey
