so I went on with the kojiken fic idea and wrote the first chapter, I don't know how long it's gonna be or when Im going to write again since I only do that when I'm inspired, anyways please be kind since I haven't written anything serious in a lot of time

wakashimazu had known hyuga for years, he trusted him, not only on the field, but also on every day life, he would always talk to him during every break from practice, or even during practice, they were almost inseparable and everyone knew that.

So as you could have guessed, when hyuga went missing, waka was the most worried out of everyone from Toho, he knew where he probably was and he could care for himself, but he was still missing his "best friend".

Few days later, while wakashimazu was walking around at night, thinking about the match that was about to come, he spotted a figure in the dark, he knew immediately who he was, hyuga came back.

"so how was the trip?" waka asked while sitting near his captain, even though he said that jokingly you could her by his tone how worried he was.

"somewhere" hyuga replied, resting his head on the friend shoulder "missed me?" he asked giggling

"nah we were better off without you" waka replied ironically while putting an arm over hyuga's shoulder bringing him closer as their hips touched

his heart started beating faster, why was he doing that? he always sat close to hyuga, but this was the first time he felt that way, they shared an intimate moment until the captain broke the awkward silence.

"so did you fix the issue with not being able to see shit with your hair during match?" hyuga said with a straight face, even though that was very random considering the moment, but he was right, wakashimazu always kept his hair long, but now it was becoming hard to jump around without his hair covering his face.

"Takeshi suggested I braid them, but honestly I never learned how to do that so that wouldn't work" waka replied

"that's no problem I can do that for you" and without further ado hyuga put his hands in Ken's hairs

"wait- you don't have to-" that felt way too much intimate for waka to handle, he could feel himself blushing in the darkness, why was he feeling that way? he knew he liked boys but he never thought of liking kojiro... or maybe he did, but he didn't want to ruin the friendship, or maybe he was just scared, scared of rejection from the only person he had ever really liked, or maybe even loved.

meanwhile hyuga was still trying to figure out how to do a braid in the darkness,

*his hairs are so soft, I could play with them for hours... could I be with ken for hours? oh well I would certainly like that, yes that really seems like a dream, but would he like that? I'm not sure...*

"kojiro, are you there? you stopped randomly is everything alright?"

"oh, yeah yeah sure I'll start branding now, beautiful hair by the way"

waka blushed, while hyuga started to braid his hair carefully, trying not to hurt his sensible scalp by pulling too hard

"done" said hyuga after some time

in the darkness he could see that he had done a great work to which he was very proud of the braid looked perfect and so did his friend

"thank you captain, you really didn't have to but I really appreciate it"

"from now on I'll be braiding your hair before every single match" hyuga replied

"I would like that" wakashimazu smiled he was truly happy to finding a solution to his problem, and if that meant that hyuga could be soo close to him again, he was more that happy.

hope you liked it and sorry for any grammar mistakes! English isn't my first language and I mainly write at night so

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

References to KojiKen and KenKoji shipwars.

Do not read if one of the couples triggers you.

This post contains a bit of my personal opinions regarding the pairings.

I'm going to briefly touch on one of the most controversial topics in the CT shipping subculture: KojiKen and KenKoji.

In comparison to East Asian fans, Western fans care less about dominant/top/seme or submissive/bottom/uke roles when shipping, for various reasons. So, I often wonder if some people know the difference between KojiKen and KenKoji, especially with the increasing popularity of these two couples?

Although both pairings feature Hyuga and Wakashimazu, don't assume that KojiKen and KenKoji are synonymous:

In KojiKen, Hyuga takes on the seme role, and Wakashimazu is the uke, whereas it's the opposite in KenKoji.

There's more to these couples than just their sexual dynamics, which is why there have been many ship wars between these two factions. The two groups of shippers simply disagree on the characterization of the characters within the couples. Some are convinced that Hyuga should be the seme or uke in the pairing based on his personality, and the same goes for Wakashimazu.

However, the world isn't all black and white, and some people love both ships. There are two types of shippers in this case: KojiKenKoji shippers (preferring Hyuga as the seme) and KenKojiKen shippers (preferring Wakashimazu as the seme).

From what I've read on Japanese forums, there were heated debates and even huge arguments at the Comiket between shippers in the '80s and '90s when these pairings were at the height of their popularity. As their popularity waned, the ship wars faded, but with each new anime adaptation, new shippers emerge who might not be aware of the complicated history of these two ships...

One positive development over the years is the rise of social media allowing shippers to curate the content they see. Nowadays, ship wars between KojiKen and KenKoji shippers are extremely rare, but it doesn't mean that both factions have mellowed in their opinions.

Personally, I'm 100% a Kojikenist, which means I don't want to interact with reverse shippers (KenKoji shippers) nor see and read their fanworks. I have nothing against them personally and respect their preferences, it's just that KenKoji triggers me, so I prefer to avoid anything related to it.

Honestly, I hate writing and talking about this topic because it means a lot to me—it just deeply annoys me for several reasons I don't want to discuss right now.

A few years ago, a person from the KenKojiKen camp asked me to write an essay to prove why KojiKen is more "logical" and legitimate than KenKoji. I will do it, but honestly I won't do it with much enthusiasm, considering it's a very sensitive topic which annoys me A LOT. I probably won't tag it to avoid causing conflicts, hahaha...

But... One day, I'll write a lengthy post to explain the history of KojiKen and KenKoji, as they are significant elements of the Captain Tsubasa subculture and the history of yaoi and Boys Love genres.

In any case, this is just a "short" post to explain the major difference between the two ships and my position regarding them.

My last words: fuck ship wars!!

Captain Tsubasa S2 - Junior Youth: The Importance of Hyuga and Wakashimazu's Hospital and Car Scenes

While the Shin Captain Tsubasa OVAs were of high quality, in my humble opinion, they omitted several scenes probably due to time constraints. One particular scene that I eagerly await to see animated, either in today's episode or the next, is the one where Hyuga visits Wakashimazu in the Hamburg hospital and their subsequent conversation in the car. While not essential to the main storyline, this scene provides crucial insights into the bond between Hyuga and Wakashimazu.

1. The Enigmatic Relationship of Hyuga and Wakashimazu

When reading the manga or watching the anime, there are few scenes centered solely on Hyuga and Wakashimazu.

Most of their encounters happen on the football field, where words are scarce. The exceptions are few, with the third Nankatsu-Toho finals being a standout. But still, questions linger: What lies beyond the surface of their camaraderie? Do they share interests beyond football? Can their contrasting personalities coexist peacefully? The answers are found in two key scenes within the Junior Youth arc: the hospital and car moments, which offer a glimpse into their off-field interactions and shed light on their dynamic.

2. Context and Significance of the Hospital and Car Scenes

To truly grasp the significance of these scenes, let's revisit what led up to them. Wakashimazu injures his hand, defending against Schneider's powerful shot, requiring a trip to Hamburg Hospital.

Meanwhile, Japan faces a humiliating defeat against Schneider and Wakabayashi. After the match, a heated altercation erupts between Hyuga and Wakabayashi, resulting in a physical confrontation. Following these events, a disheartened Hyuga relinquishes his captaincy.

Wakashimazu, accompanied by Katagiri, leaves the hospital and finds his captain waiting for him, battered but smiling. Hyuga had gone out of his way to be by Wakashimazu's side.

The two young men share a car ride, during which, for the first time in Captain Tsubasa history, we witness a conversation between Toho's captain and his goalkeeper.

3. Unveiling the Relationship

The first question that arises from this scene is why Hyuga decided to visit Wakashimazu. The answer lies in his genuine concern for his goalkeeper and the emotional comfort Wakashimazu provides him. Normally, Hyuga is known for his fiery, arrogant demeanor and suspicion of others, but his attitude changes dramatically in Wakashimazu's presence. He exhibits a side of his personality reserved for those close to his heart—smiling, caring, relaxed, and even vulnerable.

In return, Wakashimazu reciprocates, displaying an even more surprising and blatant change in behavior. His expression is entirely relaxed and, dare I say, CUTE when he interacts with Hyuga. This departure from his usual stoic, composed demeanor, with furrowed brows, is very notable.

YO LOOK AT THIS ↑↑↑ who's that angry young man on the left and this young maiden in love on the right KEK

While we've seen him smile at Hyuga during the national middle school tournament final, this goes beyond that.

In addition to his gentle smile and soft demeanor, this manifests in his choice of words as he attempts to console a deeply disheartened Hyuga. However, these nuances often evade translation, underscoring the intricacies of the Japanese language.

4. Language Subtleties in Captain Tsubasa

Captain Tsubasa exemplifies the subtleties of the Japanese language perfectly.

For exemple, Hyuga addresses Wakashimazu informally, using his last name without honorifics or "omae - お前", a second-person singular pronoun considered familiar in this context.

In contrast, Wakashimazu uses "keigo - 敬語", a polite language form, to address Hyuga due to his position as captain and out of immense respect. He primarily calls him "captain - キャプテン", occasionally using "anta - あんた" (a polite second-person singular pronoun in this context), and very rarely addressing him as "Hyuga-san - 日向さん", using the last name with an honorific suffix.

Conclusion:

The hospital and car scenes between Hyuga and Wakashimazu offer invaluable insights into the characters' relationship, personalities, and the subtleties of their interactions.

While not central to the main storyline, these moments enrich the Captain Tsubasa experience and provide fans with a deeper appreciation of the intricate dynamics between Hyuga and Wakashimazu's unspoken camaraderie or more if you like to interpret their relationship this way.

LET'S ALL PRAY FOR THE SCENES' ANIME ADAPTATION!!...🛐🛐🛐

CT Memories - The Legend of the Strongest Meiwa FC: chapters 11 & 12's summary

⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠️

Before I post the two chapters's summary, I wanted to make it clear that I wrote 100% of them and that I'm not an expert in Japanese, but I can translate quite a lot, so if there are any small errors in there, I apologize.

You can find the RAW here. Please don't repost the manga pages on the internet out of respect for the scanlation team.

Have a good reading❗️

■ Chapter 11

• Fall has finally arrived. While working his part-time job, Hyuga notices a poster for the upcoming soccer tournament in Saitama. Sadly, he can't participate, but he doesn't let it discourage him and continues to work hard.

• We learn that Aunt Mitoma, the cafeteria lady who prepared bento for Kojiro in the previous chapter, has decided to resign. It seems she was called in by the school principal, who reprimanded her for showing favoritism by preparing meals for a specific student (Hyuga), which goes against the school rules. Faced with the principal's insensitive attitude, despite Hyuga being an exceptional student in need, Mitoma chooses to resign.

• Hyuga learns about Aunt Mitoma's departure and feels guilty, believing it's his fault she resigned. The cafeteria staff apologizes to Hyuga as they can no longer provide him with free meals due to the school's anti-favoritism policy.

• After school, a frustrated Hyuga returns home and is surprised to find Aunt Mitoma in his house, surrounded by his brothers and sister. He asks her why she's there, and she explains that she's cooking for her family. Hyuga's mother apologizes to Mitoma (whom she affectionately calls "Micchan") for the inconvenience. Mitoma responds by saying, "What are you talking about, Masayo-chan? You and I have been best friends since elementary school." (We finally know Hyuga's mother's first name: Masayo Hyuga!) Mitoma reassures Masayo, saying she's there to help and that it's natural to support each other during tough times. Masayo thanks her.

• Hyuga intervenes, apologizing and feeling responsible for Mitoma losing her job due to him. Mitoma reassures Hyuga and tells him that leaving school is an opportunity for her to open a bento shop with a friend.

• Hyuga is deeply moved by Mitoma's kindness and sheds a few tears. Mitoma then offers him some wisdom, saying that his father, who is in heaven, would want him to act like a real man. Hyuga agrees and says it's time to go to work. In her bed, Masayo turns to a photo of her late husband, thinking that she can't wait to recover so her son can play soccer again.

• On the Meiwa FC club side, we see Wakashimazu make a superb save. The goalkeeper coach is impressed by Wakashimazu's abilities and encourages him. Meanwhile, without Wakashimazu noticing, one of the boys (named Sadao) whom Wakashimazu hit at his former school appears with his older brother to seek revenge.

• The older brother promises to avenge his "cute" little brother and crush Wakashimazu. They observe Wakashimazu and are surprised to see that he's not only into karate but also now playing soccer. The older brother has devised a plan to ambush Wakashimazu. Tomorrow after school, he intends to call him to the banks of the Arakawa River, where judo club members from the older brother's college will beat him up.

• The next day, Wakashimazu, Misaki, and Takeshi finish their school day, and Misaki mentions that he'll drop his bag at home before joining Wakashimazu and Takeshi at the training field.

• After Misaki leaves, a group of young men appears. Wakashimazu recognizes them; they are the sixth-graders he fought back at his old school to defend himself. The group greets Wakashimazu with a casual "Yo, Wakashimazu, long time no see."

• One of the group members remarks that Wakashimazu probably thought he had escaped them by changing school. Another announces that they're here today to pay him back for what he did to them last time.

• Takeshi is scared and overwhelmed by the situation. The delinquent group demands that Wakashimazu meet them on the banks of the Arakawa River to avoid attracting attention in the city. Wakashimazu entrusts his school bag to Takeshi. Takeshi is reluctant, but Wakashimazu reassures him, saying he'll take care of them.

• Takeshi wonders what to do, then Hyuga suddenly appears, running, and sees a panicked Takeshi. Hyuga asks him why he's standing there, and Takeshi explains the grave situation with Wakashimazu and how the delinquents from Wakashimazu's former school are after him and have asked him to follow them. Hyuga asks Takeshi where they've gone, and Takeshi provides the location of the confrontation.

• Hyuga is determined to rescue Wakashimazu and drags Takeshi along. They sprint at full speed, almost colliding with a passing truck. The truck driver sticks his head out the window and scolds the boys for their lack of caution but calms down upon recognizing Hyuga. Hyuga also recognizes him and calls him "Uncle Maruoka" Hyuga explains that the situation is urgent and that he needs Maruoka to take them to the banks of the Arakawa River because his friend is in danger. The man agrees to take Hyuga and Takeshi, despite his confusion about the situation.

• Hyuga spots the group by the riverbank. The man stops Hyuga at the requested location. Uncle Maruoka seems to grasp the situation and realizes that a big fight is about to break out, with many opponents. Maruoka leaves and makes a call from his truck to his fellow truckers, informing them that "Kojiro, Hyuga-san's son, is in trouble, so those who can, please come as soon as possible."

• The group facing off against Wakashimazu taunts him, saying they've brought members of the judo club from a nearby middle school with them. Sadao adds that his older brother is on his way as well. Wakashimazu responds by provoking them, stating that they always act like cowards and none of them is willing to fight him one-on-one fairly. The thugs tell him to shut up, claiming that no one can take on the number one karate practitioner in Japan, but they are determined to make him suffer.

• Hyuga arrives dramatically, surprising Wakashimazu and the group of thugs. Hyuga tries to stop the fight, and Wakashimazu looks at him in astonishment.

• Wakashimazu asks Hyuga why he's there. Hyuga responds that he's there to help a "precious friend". Hyuga stands in front of Wakashimazu and tells him, "I've come to help you, Wakashimazu." Hyuga admits he's not used to fighting but assures Wakashimazu that he knows how strong his kicks are (I'm thinking of you, Hyuga, when you destroyed the table with a kick in World Youth, so yes, we can say your kicks are strong, hahaha...). He says that even if he gets beat up, he'll send some of the thugs to the hospital.

• Hyuga tells Takeshi that since he's never fought before, he should stay back and watch them (Hyuga and Wakashimazu) fight. Although trembling like a leaf, Takeshi says he can't just stand there and watch while his teammates fight, and he won't run away. He admits he's terrified.

• Wakashimazu smiles and tells Hyuga and Takeshi that they are both interesting individuals.

• Sadao's older brother addresses him and asks why they were not supposed to fight against three people. Sadao responds that he doesn't understand why there are other people present besides Wakashimazu. The gang of thugs regroups and says that it doesn't matter if they're three; it won't change the outcome, and they'll crush them anyway.

• Suddenly, a large group of trucks arrives, surrounding the group of young people to their astonishment.

• Uncle Maruoka lowers the truck window and scolds the thugs, stating that they are upperclassmen bullying their underclassmen. He intimidates them by explaining that he and his fellow truckers were under the orders of Hyuga's father and that they have explosive temperaments. He warns that if any of the thugs dares to act, the truckers will as well.

• Seeing the threatening demeanor of the truckers, Sadao's older brother asks if the truckers were supposed to be part of the plan, and his brother doesn't know what to say anymore. Intimidated by the truckers, the gang quickly flees.

• The Meiwa trio watches in disbelief as the group runs away, and Hyuga remarks that apparently, they didn't have to fight, much to Takeshi's relief.

• Hyuga thanks Maruoka for his help, and Maruoka tells him it's nothing. The truckers tell Hyuga that if another problem arises, he shouldn't hesitate to ask for their help. Hyuga expresses his gratitude enthusiastically.

• After this adventure, Hyuga mentions that he's running a bit late for his part-time job and needs to go. Wakashimazu is also running late. He thanks Hyuga, and Hyuga responds that it's nothing, as it's normal for Meiwa FC teammates to help each other.

• Takeshi, worried, asks Hyuga if he'll be present for the upcoming prefectural autumn tournament, which starts next week. He inquires if Hyuga will be there. Hyuga thinks about the situation, feeling torn, and explains that the upcoming three-day weekend will be a great opportunity to earn some money. Takeshi is extremely disappointed. Hyuga then proposes a solution: for the first two days of the tournament, the team will have to play without him, but he promises to be there for the final, which delights Takeshi. Takeshi promises to do everything in his power to win until Hyuga's return.

[CHAPTER'S 11 END]

■ Chapter 12

• The Meiwa FC players are training on the field. While observing them, Coach Kira points out how talented Misaki is and how well he's integrating into the team despite being there for only a week. The assistant coach agrees and mentions that the upcoming tournament will be exciting. Coach Kira also notes that with Takeshi and now Misaki on the team, Hyuga will have twice as many scoring opportunities, but the assistant coach recalls that Hyuga may not be able to participate due to his family issues, which troubles Coach Kira.

• The training session comes to an end. Takeshi talks to Misaki about Hyuga's strength on the team, which piques Misaki's interest. Wakashimazu adds that Hyuga is by far the strongest striker in Meiwa FC. Talking about Hyuga makes Misaki eager to meet him, but Hyuga is too busy with work and school. That's when Misaki remembers that Hyuga delivers newspapers early in the morning.

• The next morning, Hyuga is delivering newspapers as usual before school starts when he sees Takeshi, Wakashimazu, and Misaki ahead of him. Surprised, he asks them what they're doing out so early. Takeshi explains that they're there to help him with the newspaper delivery. By sharing the work, it will give Kojiro some free time before classes start, allowing him to train with them. The boys' gesture touches him.

• Hyuga notices Misaki and remarks that he doesn't know him. Misaki introduces himself to Kojiro, and they get to know each other. Wakashimazu explains that Misaki is a very talented player who passed the Meiwa FC entrance test. Takeshi mentions that Misaki even defeated him in a one-on-one duel, which astonishes Hyuga.

• To facilitate the newspaper delivery, Hyuga gives each of the boys a stack and explains how the route works.

• Once the delivery route is completed, the boys take advantage of their free time to go and train before school begins. Hyuga feels grateful to the boys because they've allowed him to play soccer again after a long absence from the field.

• Misaki takes the ball from Hyuga's feet, causing him to fall to the ground. Hyuga attributes it to a lack of practice, but Takeshi suggests that it's because Misaki is genuinely very strong. Provoked, Hyuga decides to step up and tackles Misaki, stealing the ball from him. Takeshi points out to Hyuga and Misaki that this training is not supposed to be a face-off between them but an opportunity to learn each other's playing styles to better coordinate during the upcoming prefectural tournament, a notion that both Hyuga and Misaki approve of.

• From his small house, Coach Kira watches the boys training. The training routine of the four boys repeats almost every morning until the tournament arrives.

• The big day arrives, the opening of the Saitama Prefectural Autumn Tournament. The goalkeeper coach and Wakashimazu's senior encourage him for his first official match as a goalkeeper. Wakashimazu appears nervous, and his legs tremble as he thinks about the responsibility a goalkeeper carries. He regains his composure and charges into the match.

• The opposing team launches their first attack, and the player takes a shot, but Wakashimazu dives and makes a superb save. Internally, Wakashimazu can't help but compare the opponent's strength to Hyuga's. He finds that Hyuga's shots are much more powerful than what he just stopped.

• Wakashimazu's father (dressed in regular clothes, not a kimono!!!!!!) can be seen accompanied by Ken's older brother, Shin. Shin remarks to his father that he seems worried about Ken nevertheless. Shin observes that for his first match, Ken is exceptional as a goalkeeper, and it doesn't look like his first match given how skilled he is. Papa Waka agrees with a smile. He remembers Hyuga's words when he came to challenge Ken to a duel in the family dojo and how he said Ken was a "football genius," and Hyuga was probably not wrong.

• Meiwa FC won 5-0, thanks to Misaki's fantastic goals and Wakashimazu's excellent saves, despite being in the early stages of his goalkeeping career.

• While Hyuga works hard during the Meiwa Food Festival, he thinks about his teammates and hopes they did their best, looking forward to joining them on the day of the final.
