It's been what…? How many years since she's seen them?
The hissatsu techniques. The fighting spirit. The will to not give up. Those plays.
After graduating junior high school, she moved to another country with her parents. From high school to college, that's what she's been doing… Move. All because of her parents' change in work positions.
After junior high, she hasn't heard of the famous soccer club that won the Football Frontier after their fifty year decline, the club that had beaten the so called 'aliens', and the club that had most of the players in the Japan team for the Football Frontier International.
Sure, she's heard of the news of them as individuals, but it's different when you hear them as a whole. Like, some of them working in the Pro League in Japan and in Italy, or working in a hospital. But maybe, she just wants to see them play again.
But maybe, it's because of what she's heard of the the Japanese soccer system, that she wants to see the players who had so much determination to play, just magically be young again save the sport from the unfair organization.
…Maybe.
And as the girl walked around the familiar school after ten years and she thought those things over and over. She's heard of everything that has been happening in Japan from old friends, and she just decided to return to Japan for a visit. Afterall, she plans on working in her home country.
She walked around, seeing the new from the old… Reminiscing.
As she neared the soccer field, she saw the current soccer players, playing soccer as if they're having fun. And for a moment, she thought she saw the team during her time.
Those smiles. The energy. The fun of playing.
"Ah! You're…!" the girl turned around to see a brown haired man, wearing the oh-so familiar orange headband.
"Endou Mamoru…" she murmured.
"I remember you! I would always see you during our matches way back!"
"A-Ah… Yeah… I was a fan of the team. And you know… School support." she said, as she slowly looked back at the kids practicing for their next match.
"They're good, huh? They're the ones that will create a rebellion against Fifth Sector. To get the real soccer back."
"Real soccer, huh?" slowly, she smiled.
Despite the threat towards the sport they love. There was one thing common with the players of her time and the players she's currently watching.
The love they have for soccer.
"They sure love soccer…" she said quietly.
"Yeah. And I'm sure they can save it."
Even with the changing of generations… of players. That change is unavoidable.
But one thing stayed constant in the team.
Their love for soccer.
And that's the Raimon she knows.
No matter the challenges that awaits them.
Their plays. Their love for soccer will forever stay constant.
This truly is Raimon's soccer
This is just me being sentimental over the shows I've watched in the past. Mainly Inazuma because it was my first major fandom and I met a lot of fans that are still my friends up until now lol.
Anyway, pls tell me what you think, cause one, I'm trying to get my writing style back (cries), two, feedback reasons :)
If you're feeling sentimental over Inazuma because you watched it ever since the very start of the series (6 yrs(?) back) and it's been a year(?) since it(Galaxy) ended... then you are very welcome to talk to me. Lol, if you want to of course.
Bye!
