Speaking of which, Im going to use two of my final paragraphs of this write-up to go over some final selling points to the story. When its time to play Royal Academy again in the regional finals, its revealed that your coach has been a spy for them the entire time, and is then ordered to drain the brake fluid from the teams bus in an attempt to kill the entire team on its way to the match. His plan is discovered and foiled, so in one final attempt to get out of playing Raimon, Royal Academy has some technicians poised and ready to drop a bunch of steel girders on the Raimon side of the field, hoping to kill their players and force them to forfeit. However, the star player of Royal Academy has become aware of his coachs deceit by this point and warns Mark to have his team evacuate the field when the first whistle blows, saving everyones life.

In a plot dump right before the game begins, it turns out that the reason Royal Academy rose to power in the first place was because they pulled the exact same shit 40 years ago on the #1 team in the nation at that point. It happened to be the team that Marks grandfather coached, nicknamed the Inazuma Eleven. In fact, Grandpa Evans and some of his players died in a bus crash on the way to their match against Royal Academy. Now that Mark has been a victim of their attempted murder himself, he now knows that he has even more reason to get revenge on the team that literally fucking murdered his grandfather. And Axels sister? Yeah, they were actually the ones behind her getting hit by a truck and putting her into a coma.



I swear to God that I havent even covered some of the craziest plot devices this game has to offer. The Royal Academy match is only the end of the first half of the game because thats just the regionals. The second half of the game is the Future Frontier nationals, where it only gets crazier from there. If this sounds like your kind of shit, just like it was 100% mine, go check out the game on the 3DS eShop. I promise you wont be disappointed with the story, at the very least.

I am aware that there are several more Inazuma Eleven games that exist, but none of them ever made it to the US, and Im too lazy to bother figuring out how to play them otherwise. Im actually kinda scared that theyll ruin the first game for me, because it has a massive story arc that spans all kinds of things, and I cant imagine that they figured out a way to top this. But given that I just wrote a full essay on this game, Im really feeling the itch again, and I could very well be doing myself a massive disservice by not at least checking them out. You should all do the same, because this game is fuckin' bonkers.
