April is an interesting month for me, in a way or another. Two years already, back on April 7th was where my hypefixation with BW started; and on the following year, 6 days after things would instead switch towards the spanish team instead.

...Unfortunately I've already missed the first date by quite a long margin, but I'm still not giving up on posting something related to it. So, just like I did with BruShine, I'd like to share a JeanQuin draft too ;')

----

While Geology isn't Jean's thing at all, he enjoys to see Quincy getting all enthusiastic with it. Seeing the value of the soil and its minerals wasn't he ever expected to get into, but Quin's passion was enough to hook him in. Now when the two are apart, even the simplest things such as tiny rocks at the beach remind Jean of him. So when re-meeting in Perth, he likes to bring Quincy collected things that could be of his interest.

One day, within the things brought there was a little blue stone. Jean had seen many similar to those since he was a child, but he never had the interest of knowing what they were (And its not like Reef or Nice had actual good answers either). Now with a rock expert at hand, he finally wanted to get an answer.

...Though for his surprise, turns out these stones weren't a natural wonder, sadly, just glass that once fell in the sea and ended differently on the shore. Despite the dissappointment, Quincy decided to reveal he also had been collecting them a while ago. So, they decided to collaborate by merging their collections together; increasing as reunions go by.

Time passes and passes, and in one meeting, Quincy brings a surprise for Jean: A seaglass bracelet made with the stones from their private collection. Turns out one of Quincy's younger sisters had gotten into jewlery recently, begging her brother to use such a pretty material for her craft. Quincy accepted, but as long as she also made a gift for his boyfriend.

Warmed by the gesture, Jean went and put it on his right arm, maybe with some help from the blondie. And for the cherry on top, Quincy himself shows off his matching one!

So, from now on, those adorable crafts serve as reminders of each other when they are apart.

----

Jean barely takes off his bracelet. Perhaps maybe before a match or hard training of course, since he's rather afraid of it falling off and/or breaking. But during his everyday life, he just brings it wherever he goes, no matter how casual it it. Perhaps to the point even his friends notice it too. Reef for example points it out at every occassion, enjoying to call it a "huge colorful wedding ring". While at first Jean would shun him off by the dumb joke. with time he came to like the comparison. It served as a good reminder of something he wanted to do later on.

Quincy meanwhile likes to show off his bracelet too, tho he does take it off during his Judo classes, rough excersive routines, or in any of his possible Outback trips. At some point in between his geology classes, the bracelet almost dissappeared from its sight and it made him go almost in full panic mode. The campus became a hell of a mess that day. Fortunately the object was found in decent shape, turns out it just fell due to a loosely tied knot. He needs to be more careful with that...

Euro B Hissatsus Showdown

So far, when it comes to Euro B, I've already shared their visual references and their no-pixel shields (So they don't turn into webps when you try to save them). And now... Guess its the time for hissatsu lineups. Sometimes I like to take them in consideration for headcanons, sometimes not. It depends overall if I believe compliments the character in some way 🤷 Same thing with using them on fanfics and explaining their obtaining method, etc.

Since a long time I've been following Luktsu Do Inazuma, a YTber that posts gameplays on portuguese and all; but what I like the most from him are his hissatsu compilation videos, since they are very complete and the quality is excelent. You might be familiar with a video I've shared back at Chung-Yoon's headcanon post!

Originally I wanted to share the RM one only, but I've decided to wait a bit more until the user also uploaded Brockenborg and Rose Griffon's to their channel. With that being said, sit down and enjoy!

RedoMata 🐂

Burobo 🐉

Rozuguri 🦅

(Ps... If you're interested on any other of the FFI teams, minus for Great Horn they all got uploaded! Hop on Luktsu's channel to see them! ;-D)

#euro b talk #red matador #rose griffon #brockenborg #Yet another reference post? Why not? #think this will be the last one for now; just wanted to get this one out of the way #Currently; I have only one comment about this whole lineup btw. And it is.......... #......What is Koutei Penguin Nº1 doing there. HOW. #Yeah I get it; penguins = teikoku = close motif as Brockenborg but... Knowing all the background behind it + #the already present red flags in BB... I'm worried about Jens. #Alek having KP X doesn't help either. Somebody check on the germans QUICK- #Luca with God Knows is funny tho. He's a biblically accurate angel to me 👁️👁️

DRAGON FIVE: Cha Jung-Won

The final bencher for now. I like his red glasses 👌

...Also, apparently, I was wrong. He's the one I do have the least of. Unfortunately I can't really develop him further because I don't even have time anymore, so... For now, enjoy what I have so far :(

He has a very slight rivarly with Hwan Woo-Myang due of being from the same city and two growing businesses. However it is rather mild, and for the most part it doesn't mess up their relationship as teammates. On the business side, yeah, they are going to be very aggresive in their marketing competition.

He adores kimchi, and one of the products he plans to distribute on the future are kimchi coolers.

With access to latest technology, Jung-Won posseses the latest phone models at hand. His future brand has a main focus on domestic life electronics, but its true that he also desires to invest in smartphone research and production. He already has the latest mobile phone models at hand; but he believes that the best way to improve on them is hearing and writing down ideas in person. Some suggestions written include longer battery duration, adding videos to calls, more space for music, and... Being able to touch the screen!? (Reminder, IE happens all during 200X, flipphones are very prevalent on the series.)

Besides writing about the characters I believe its important to also talk about the korean context as a whole. Koreans mostly overlooked the japanese soccer for the most part, not interested on seeing what their chaotic neighbour was doing, but when the Aliea menace hit Japan let's just say panic evolved the whole country. Following the situation upclose and finding out about Raimon's victories, this led to many korean children interested eventually on japanese football, Jung-Won being one of them. I think he'd like the idea of Jung-Won checking out various Football Frontier plays, eventually stumbling upon the infamous Megane Crash move of Raimon vs Shuuyou Meito. At first he was horrified with the whole concept, specially for a person that valued his glasses a lot (And with a reason, those things ARE quite expensive); but ironically that gained knowledge would turn out to be useful.

...Basically in the rare occasion that both he and Sung-Joon were sent to the field, things were getting complicated for Korea to score; specially with one less pretty boy to carry the team on its attack. It was there when JW realized that performing Megane Crash seemed to be the best outcome. Taking advantage of his -already complicated- relationship with him, he begged SJ to shoot at a very particular spot. Even the korean forward was confused, but his own desire of winning got in the way. And so, this created the only goal either players did in the whole FFI.

(Maybe this happened during the Red Viper match? Because I'd like to see Seong-Jun scoring something too than have all the goals made by *those three*).

Does this improve their bad first impressions at first? Partially. What ends up uniting them though is their shared love of... K-Dramas. Picture these two sitting in the sofa sharing tissues while a very overly dramatic scene plays at the TV 😭

Also him losing his glasses was extremely important; because he was incapacitated to play for a while due to his astigmatism. Pretty much he can see others with the ball, but when it gets too close its when it gets difficult for him. If it wasn't that his family was willing to cover any needed cost for new glasses in Japan, day-to-day life would have become complicated for Jung-Won.

----

I think that's it for both Jung-Won and the whole Fire Dragon bench. I still confess there's a lot I'd like to develop more about these players and their context, but I like these ideas as a first approach. I hope I can talk about them again sometime, be in other posts or other types of content. Thank you for reading! :D

...By the way, remember what I said on Chung-Yoon's post? This time around, I lied. The full bench actually appears in the anime!!! Just that Jung-Won's face got covered, rip 💔

Also this, settei materials for animators including a height chart of FD. For the source of this specific photo, its complicated. I've found it here, but the uploader is a Livejournal user named Splash who apparently deleted the original source of these pictures. Which is weird, because I remember saving it on full quality time ago... (Though in here, I used Waifu2x)

Either way, I like JW's pose, he looks sassy even if it's blurry 😭

#hc:ina11 #fire dragon (ina11) #cha jung-won #Hiiiii :3 im on break #Might use to study it instead but sjjsjdjejdjk I want to keep posting here #Kind of stuck at the moment on what atm; but I'll see

[quincyhorst]

Y'know, even if I talk a lot about EuroB, I feel like I should have talked about this sooner...

For some context, back on 2022 the game Megaton Musashi (Also made by Level5) added some references to Inazuma Eleven in the form of team emblem stickers as to decor the player's robots. At least that's what I know. Here's a thread with the images if you're curious.

A lot of the choices are clear obvious why they were used (Raimon, Aliea Teams, Teikoku, Ogre, etc). There are some which are a bit more unusual but I can see why they are here (Knights of Queen, Unicorn). And then there's the odd ones out, Euro B + Team Garshield.

I think EuroB's addition will forever confuse me. They are not very popular teams except for like 3-4 Tumblr users and some Pixiv artist (?), and the treatment of L5 towards them has never been the best. So this is a surprise for me.... I think the same could apply to TG too (?

But nonetheless, I appreciate it, if it means us getting a no-pixel HD emblem of these teams 🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬

Though. Let me say. Lately I've been thinking of these emblems an entirely different way.

What if.... Knowing what we saw back on 2023, with ALL teams being confirmed for VROH.....

These emblems were some kind of foreshadowing?

#inazuma eleven #euro B talk #red matador #rose griffon #brockenborg #I really love their emblem design #Wish RG had an actual griffon tho #But other than that; it's fine #RM is so damn good. Easily one of the best out there. #You can tell the Level 5 offices were BLASTING the spanish anthem when designing it #And Brockenborg's “dragon” is also so so cute too #Kind of wish the fandom took more notice of it

March 3/16. ⛱️🦘

Happy day to one of my earliest and most beloved pairings of BW, BruShine/MarBeach <3

This is technically meant to be just a headcanon of them, but it ended up quite long. Either way, it is one of my favorites. Though I'll admit that I'm not sure if it's 100% going into my setting or just remained as a concept, I've never settled on that... Still a cute scenario either way. Love childhood encounter ships.

I might not focus with BW nor BruShine as intense as I did back on 2022, but these two still got my heart. I hope you can enjoy this story.

Although both Bruce and Shine both had separate lives, one living on Western Australia and the other in Queensland, truth is that at some point in the past, they had already crossed paths. Way before they got to play on the same time. It happened while they both were around 3 or 4 years old, in an era where the storm hadn't come yet for neither. So for now, things had been quite happy. Shine for example, despite being overlooked by his parents, he always found a spot of comfort on his own grandmother, who'd take him to the coast almost every weekend.

However, the beaches that Shine would attend had its fair share of flaws. Soon trash started to accumulate, people would be impolite, loud sounds would play everywhere, and overall, no matter how beautiful the view was, the sorrounding city gray felt overwhelming for both child and woman. So as a way to give him a change of pace, his grandmother Sun took him one day to an entirely different place: Lucky Bay Beach, located within Western Australia. It wasn't easy to plan out said trip at first; but a business trip of the Beach family became the perfect excuse to take Shine away as his parents meddled in dumb economical stuff.

Grandma Sun had once visited Lucky Bay a long time ago, sometimes to the point she herself questioned if what she had seen was real on the first place. And even after coming back decades later, the views of such white sand with a sky blue sea still felt something out of a dream. Little Shine also felt the same way too, which led him to step on and want to play with his sorroundings, just to prove himself the reality of such scenery.

But after enough toying with sand and splashing the sea waves, soon some external noises interrupted the peace of the two. At the distance, they saw a peculiar scenario: Following along the jumping beach kangaroos, there was another boy around Shine's age. Not paying mind to it at first, soon Sun was surprised with her grandson wanting to imitate said boy; to the point he also went jumping towards him. Although in such a clumsy way, almost the two children crashing with each other.

The fluffy animals were startled off by this encounter, and quite fearful, they fled towards the bushes; as the blonde boy observed in shock. Feeling cornered upon two strangers, he was almost at the verge of tears. When grandma Sun finally catched upon with her grandson and saw the crying stranger, she tried to comfort him, but it seemed futile. Things could have gotten worse, but...

"Do you like kangaroos?"

To Sun's surprise, Shine had decided to break the ice. Still distrustful at first, the other boy still replied by nodding up and down.

"Me too." Beach continued "I'm sorry for scaring them."

Well, at least sincerity had worked, given the blondie had halted his cries and now was standing up. Nonetheless, he was still feeling let down over losing his friends, so Shine took it as a chance to continue talking. At some point he looked over to grandma, usually her main helper in communicating, but she preferred for her grandson to go his own way this time around.

"...I liked how you were jumping! You looked just like one of them."

...Oddly enough, being compared to a kangaroo of all things was something that did lighten up the stranger, taking it as a compliment.

"You think so...?" Were the first words he muttered upon a smiling Shine.

"Yes! I want to see it again. Could you show me...?"

Now feeling better, the blonde boy nodded once again, and soon he became Shine's teacher on kangaroo jumping. Both boys bonded quickly as they jumped together, and soon tried to follow another batch of marsupials nearby. It didn't last for long, as their laughs accidentally scared the kangaroos away; but at least the blondie didn't cry this time around. Soon their playtime stopped being only jumping, and now the two were playing in the ocean waves, splashing each other. And once both were tired enough, they chilled together on the sand.

Right before Shine could ask for his new friend's name however, separation came upon them. By just hearing the far away call of his father and grandparents, "Bruce! Bruuuuce!", the blondie reacted on the spot and was ready to run towards his comfort zone. Rushing each other's goodbyes, Shine tried to share his name at the last second; but even to this day he never knew if the blondie had actually heard him.

Life kept going for both. After the encounter Bruce had gotten more interested on talking to others; leading to him later on finding his actual best friend back in Esperance. Shine had also tried to talk with others too, but unlike Bruce, soon those around him started to treat him different because of his tiny height. As a result, he became more solitary and preferred to reject conversations.

When Big Waves was formed, Bruce was soon to recognize the same boy he had talked back then, barely changed except for few centimeters of height. To be sincere I don't remember developing much the idea in this specific point; but I could see each other at some point addressing the elephant on the room. Well, if Shine's willing to talk, that is. But if things go well enough, maybe this could be a cute explanation how he learnt Kangaroo Kick too. (Idk if Holly used it on the anime, it is Bruce's creation to me)

At least one thing is sure, and it doesn't matter if it's on the FFI or later on; whenever Bruce or Shine see each other, it makes both reminisce of simpler, yet happier times. Though nostalgia can be toxic at times, and it did prove when the two met once again. Now as adults, both unhappy with their lives, having said reminder nearby didn't help at all.

Fortunately this idealization of the past didn't last forever, and after managing to accept both their current situations (with ways to improve within them); the two were ready to start a new step of their lives. They'll keep making new, happier memories as life continues its course. 🥺💙🧡

#hc:ina11 #big waves (ina11) #shine beach #bruce marlin #brushine #marbeach #...When I saw that Lucky Bay beach existed I had to do this. #Such a beautiful place and yet so fitting for both of them #The kangaroos for Bruce; the clear white sand for...

Looking back; it's a bit sad to see how many BW stuff was meant for here yet it remained unposted (bc main focus changed) #....I'm sorry for that 😭 #Nonetheless; if there's anything of here you'd like to develop me on; feel free to ask <:

DRAGON FIVE: Noh Sung-Joon

Or how he used to be known before the wikia name chage, No.

Jokes aside, I love him 😭 Like the rest of the bench he has a simple design but for me its the profile that always spins things up. This one in particular aged like a fine wine.

"Plans to fly all over the world as a Hallyu star in the future."

Learn more below! ☆

First off, about his profile... What it mentions, 'hallyu', refers to the growing fascination of overseas audiences towards korean entretainment, be by k-dramas, movies, music; everything korean. Pretty much what's going on with the web nowadays.

Some profile translation went to be more direct however. The spanish dub turned him into a k-poper for example:

"Le gustaría que la música pop coreana fuera conocida en todo el mundo." "Wishes korean pop music was known worldwide"

...So yes, he's probably the closest we're gonna get to Stan Twitter in Inazuma Eleven (?

As it is notorious however, such music genre hadn't become popular yet during 2010/the FFI era. So for now, all he can do is find ways to share it with others and hope it will blow up in the future. (He's in for a huge surprise)

If he's organizing a party, be it in Korea or overseas, expect him to put K-Pop on the mix.

Although he has set the goal of being a hallyu star in the future, he doesn't have an specific idea of what in particular due to the ambiguity of the term. Currently he'd love to be an actor, but he wouldn't mind becoming a singer either. He keeps his options open.

Though, his singing voice could have some training...

Given his skill 'Ikemen!UP', he's fairly popular, specially with the girls. Though he hasn't gotten into any dating stuff yet.

...Unfortunately, he can be quite annoying at times. He's always finding an opportunity to shine both outside and in a match, liking to gain compliments. He's isn't neccesarily the one to bring others down, but in case he has to do group work he makes sure his voice is the most heard.

Back on Korea, he was acclaimed to be one of the best forwards of the country alongside his buddies, and it was rumored that if an international tournament was to happen, he'd be inmediately on the starting line-up. So this obviously made him excited when the FFI was announced, but then... His spot on the field was taken by three "half-koreans with japanese names"; or at least that's how he calls them. Now benched, he can't help but feel resentful at times; but there isn't much he can't do anyway. At least when he leaves the bench by chance, he'll do his best to perform as he can.

(He mainly doesn't like much the Chaos duo due that they took the spots meant for his friends, buuut his feelings towards Aphrodi are more conflicted; as while he still has some sort of a grudge, he can't help but also find him... Rather pretty. However having these feelings confuses him a lot, and he just doesn't know how to act on them.)

When it comes to the bench group, Sung-Joon warmed up very well to Ji-Nan, as despite his short temper he likes his goalkeeper skills. Plus their shared pettiness make them unite even more, usually training together on their free time.

Sung-Joon tries to get Ji-Nan more into korean pop culture, even believing he could be an interesting actor for a production too. This is also why he likes Hyeon-Dae and his aspiration as a cinema producer. He sees future on this trio!

Being the only 3rd Year of the bench group, he often tries to impose himself as their leader. But sadly there's gonna be disagreements on his proposals, specially from Jung-Won. They don't like each other that much, but... If it wasn't for the "four-eyes", Sung-Joon wouldn't have made his only shot at the FFI. So he's forced to tone his rivarly down.

...And to end. Some time ago, I was searching for TCG pictures in the Inazuma11 wiki, and while stumbling upon Route of Sky's card... LOOK WHO I FOUND!!!

SUNG-JOOOOOOOON ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

It makes 0 sense for he to be here BUT IDK I'M SO GLAD HE'S ON CARD AHHHHHHHHHH

(This also would make him be the only FD bencher with "merch". If we think about it.)

OC Files: White Bull; or EL TORO BLANCO

It is March already; almost a year since this blog started. Figured it was time to finally go to the point and do things I've been holding on for a long time already. Here goes nothing, I guess...

...

When Red Matador (Or locally, Matador Rojo*) was formed, it was obvious that there'd be some controversy. Not everybody was fond of bullfighting being the face of a youth soccer team, and one that even represented Spain aganist the world. Complains both online, written and on TV were made, but nothing seemed enough to do any change. The team still would proceed like normal, and so did the resigned country during the Euroleague. However -and with the start of the FFI-, let's just say somebody decided to protest this... In a very different way.

Meet the White Bull, or in its original language, El Toro Blanco. A mysterious figure that started to appear itself to the Red Matador players. It's style is quite interesting, with clothes that resemble a mix of the "traje de luz" (Matador uniform) yet with some curious modifications, to the point it resembled something entirely different. However, the most notorious part of its design is the huge bull mask it wears, covering completely its face and hair.

Don't let such elegant attire and mysterious looks fool you, this dancer is actually also quite good at soccer. And nothing has proved it better than its first encounters with RM, in which he completely swept the floor with the captain and his two buddies. And the moment information about him leaked to the public; feel free to guess how the media reacted to this. Needless to say, nor Querardo, nor the coach, nor -almost everyone- at the spanish team are really fond of him. To make things even worse, Toro Blanco seems to be clear set with their objective: To prove the world how weak a matador truly is.

...Things didn't seem to look so bright for this team with that dancer around, at least on the Qualifications time. However, as the FFI progressed and Spain got stronger, soon they started to find few ways to counter Toro Blanco (I'd like to say with the use of Matador Feint, but... No, that causes them to react in a different way). Other point was to discover his many weaknesses, such as its limited vision field in distance (Proved by their horrible shots), or his dislike of bright lights. With the power gap between RM and TB decreasing eventually, at least their relationship did grow for the better. Toro was seen less of a nuisance, but more instead of as a rival to grow alongside.

But no matter if its in Madrid or Liocott, one thing is still unanswered.

Who is under the mask?

----

(*That's regarding the original name. On the dub universe the actual team would be "Matadores Rojos", which leads to the shortened version "Los Rojos" that everyone uses instead.)

#I have no idea if it's just me... But this somehow gives me vibes of greek art... #Maybe its the style of the bulls; it reminds me a lot of the potrayals of the minotaur and all #...Intentional or not... This reference actually matters a lot 👀 #So; nice one >:) #Other's art #Golden Treasures

[quincyhorst]

Since I finally got to post about Toro Blanco 8 months later, I guess its time for some words. An unusual kind of post, I guess, but sometimes its good to actually talk a bit than just post headcanons non-stop.

First off, I gotta say, thank you for all those who waited (or keep waiting) until we got to this point. This isn't the first time I got to talk about something I've been holding up for so long (it already happened like, twice), but this topic in particular is important to me because it affected other things I was holding on to show, but now I finally feel more eager to talk about them.

Though I will confess, one of the reasons why TB took so long to post was because there were many, many times in which its concept was about to be scrapped. TB's true identity was created before I decided to put them a mask, obviously with some in-universe explanations as to why, but in many occassions I had many doubuts over how I would treat its story and its dynamics with Redomata (Specially Que). And yes, TB already having a conflicting "motif" -if we could call it like that- with Fermín did cause some issues too. Nonetheless after so many overthinking I decided to still try and post it here, because despite everything, there are many things I like about TB even if I can't guarantee how the concept will affect my setting. Kind of like Estela.

Either way, from this point on I guess we'll be entering a new phase of this blog. I don't think there will be many noticeable changes perse; schedule will be as usual (Or even less depending how my upcoming classes affect it), but I plan to continue experimenting with things and offer new stuff to this blog every so often. Alsoooo I want to talk more about my Ina11 OCs and more background stuff for the Euro B teams :D

If you're reading this, thank you very much! And I hope you can enjoy both TB, the person behind it, and everything that's to come for this blog. If you're interested in previews....

[quincyhorst]

Yeah, it should be obvious for now, but its with Querardo that Toro Blanco has the biggest beef with, being 1- The son of a matador 2- On the verge of following his steps and 3- The captain of RM overall. So, it's him who Toro seems to seek out the most, and the first one to defy everytime. Sure, every so often he'll gladly drag Samuel and David's asses too, but he is always focused first on the lion boy.

Querardo's feelings aganist Toro are actually SO conflicted. He's constantly pissed at his skills and the bad image he leaves on the team, alongside the witty remarks he does aganist the bullfighting world. And as somebody who's constantly in betweeing choosing or refusing to become a matador... The prescence of a character like him does make him struggle even more in his position. But one thing is clear, and is that regardless what he feels about BF, he WANTS to defeat Toro Blanco nonetheless. Hell, unironically his desire of bringing the dancer down is what gives him enough motivation to continue on the FFI after a dissappointing Euroleague + terrible USA match.

Eventually, Querardo does manage his objetive, managing to counter and put himself at the level of the Toro Blanco. At first this would be the perfect spot to let his ego rule over and humilliate TB over and over, but by that point... Let's just say Que had gotten attached to him. Every single encounter the two have had were thrilling, and whenever he got to see that strange bull mask was enough to get his blood pumping, no matter the result of that versus. Besides, he couldn't help to admire how willing TB was on their mission, never giving up even when the dancer itself realized Querardo was outsmarting them. In a way, their versus had the same intensity of a bullfight, just that with no actual animals involved (fortunately).

At times Que wondered, who was behind TB? Why did he hide his identity? Why did he kept coming back ? During the first encounters Que was salty enough to overthink about this, constantly finding suspects and creating theories over who could be the one under the mask. But soon those questions became meaningless to him. From wanting to know his identity as to beat him up in his weak state, he soon instead wanted to know TB's true self as to congratulate him. As to know him better, as to become his friend, maybe even.....

Such had become the attachment, that when TB started to appear less and less in Liocott, Que took it in a bittersweet way. Maybe his true self is within the crowd, maybe they have finally turned into a fan... Whatever is the reason, Querardo still promises to get stronger as to beat other FFI teams as the tournament progresses, and also him if they get to encounter each other again. If he's able to, of course. Alongside his trainings, his FFI agenda is -surprisingly- busy.

However, as the FFI progressed and Spain got stronger, soon they started to find few ways to counter Toro Blanco (I'd like to say with the use of Matador Feint, but... No, that causes them to react in a different way). Other point was to discover his many weaknesses, such as its limited vision field in distance (Proved by their horrible shots), or his dislike of bright lights. With the power gap between RM and TB decreasing eventually, at least their relationship did grow for the better. Toro was seen less of a nuisance, but more instead of as a rival to grow alongside.

But no matter if its in Madrid or Liocott, one thing is still unanswered.

Who is under the mask?

(*That's regarding the original name. On the dub universe the actual team would be "Matadores Rojos", which leads to the shortened version "Los Rojos" that everyone uses instead.)

DRAGON FIVE: Lee Chung-Yoon (+ Lee Jin-Sung)

CHUNG-YOON <333333

...He matters a lot to me ok. I actually discovered him thanks to the Random Page button on the wiki (I needed to make some Sims back in 2020), so my attachtment to him is slightly longer than the overall bench. Though it is interesting that as I was actually writing a setting for him, a japanese fan made me realize something about this player that, well... Changed my whole view about him, for better or worse.

However, there's a little catch, and there's an extra character here, Fire Dragon's Coach Lee Jin-Sung. I already spoiled the reason why, but I'm going to develop on it further here.

Enjoy!

Both Chung-Yoon's parents work at the same hospital. His father is a nurse, and his mother a doctor. He mostly has to rely on his grandparents for care at the moment.

Like his profile says, he's very praised for his well care of the elders, including those of his own family. In fact, we could also say she's the actual caretaker of his grandparents instead. Some appreciate the detail and patience he has with old people, and his father often wonders if he could work as a nurse in the future. However... Let's say that's only one side of the coin.

...CY lives a double life, pretty much. While at home he's gentle and silent, at school he's a literal beast. Not only he's cold and asocial, but he's also extremely aggresive, often getting in trouble with the local bullies and delincuents of the class. All hidden from the adults and teachers of course; there are many, many street fights that Chung-Yoon participated AND won.

...It is actually unknown if CY does actually like this brute lifestyle or not. But it seems he at least tries very hard to cover it up from his parents -and specially his elders-.

...My reasoning to this whole HC comes from his actual hissatsu lineup, in which Breakthrough 2 is included. He's the only FD member to have it, you're welcome.

The only one who knows about his secret life however is Lee Jin-Sung, the FD coach. In my setting, he is the step-brother of Chung-Yoon's dad, as their parents married when they were young. So he's technically his uncle, even if they don't look that similar.

When CY was called to the selection, some controversy sparked upon making the connection; even making people accuse Jin-sung of nepotism. Since he doesn't seem to have any children able to play, why not use his brother's one instead?

This does cause Chung-Yoon to be seen down by other korean players and the media, often disregarding his actual soccer skills. And hell, even CY himself starts to have his own worries over why was he the one choosen for FD. But no matter what how many times the confronts the coach, he always gets the same answer from Jin-Sung: "There's a hidden potential in you, but you have to realize it".

Similarly to Ji-Nan, Chung-Yoon also uses football to express his anger away, unfortunately with a very aggresive playstyle involving way too many tackles to the opponent. And maybe few red cards. Maybe as the tournament progresses he'll eventually to find other ways to play without causing unnecessary harm.

At least, not everything with Chung-Yoon is always pain or harm. When practice is over he likes to spend his time window shopping, specially around those streets that sell unique things. Most of the time he'll do it alone, but in rare occassions he'll get to do it with one of his teammates.

Regarding them... Let's just say that CY isn't an unknown name at all, specially for the FD players that live in his same city; so -almost- everyone is aware of what Chung-Yoon can do if he gets angry. Because of that, nobody ever tries to take that risk.

I think the only time it went south with him was with Nagumo Haruya, I wouldn't be surprised if his atitude got onto CY's nerves. If it wasn't for both Aphrodi and Chang-Soo, chances were that Nagu wouldn't have survived until the Inazuma Japan match.

As for the bench, I think he gets so and so with them. Not bad, but its true that deep down Ji-Nan and the others are terrified of him, so they always have to watch their step whenever Chung-Yoon is nearby. Well, maybe not Hyeon-Dae. He treats him like he'd treat everyone, be it for ignorance or by innocence. At least CY takes it well, it seems...

One last player that treats him surprisingly nice too is Cho Myong-Ho. Yes, CY is intimidating, but look at those kicks! There's a formidable taekwondo rival hidden within! During the whole FFI he begged CY again and again to at least have a versus together, though it was never accepted from the bencher. Maybe it is for the best.

And with that, all the benchers who were clearly vissible on the anime have been covered :D

2 more to go!

DRAGON FIVE: Seol Hyeon Dae

More FD Bench, now with reserve DF Hyeon-Dae. Unfortunatey the one I have the less of, but I still like him anyway </3

He has three younger siblings who are eager for cinema as him, and they beg for in an appearance in his future movie. Hyeon-dae always keeps his promises, though he can't guarantee how good will their appareances be. (They are in dire need ofimproving some acting skills...)

At least they are good supporters of his soccer plays, so he appreciates that.

...He's actually the nicest guy of the whole group. He has no resentments, no self-pressure, no pettiness, no actual anger... He's just a guy with huge ambitions and that's it, as "vanilla" as that might sound. But that doesn't make him an outsider from the other benchers; in fact he does help keeping the group around most of the time.

Ji-Nan grew a liking for him because of that, and they like to hang out around the town when practice is over. Chung-yoon also likes to join in at times, liking to talk with Hyeon-dae (And to keep an eye over the keeper).

Sung-Joon is slightly harder to interact with to due to how much of a show-off he is, but HD did just fine by convincing him to appear in one of his movies; his future award being a "new step for Korean media" (At least that's his choice of words). Both a blessing and a curse, now SJ won't stop talking about that whenever he's with Hyeon-Dae, and how great of an actor he will be...

And while HD does know a lot about korean movies, he isn't very interested on K-Dramas. SJ is the one to talk with him about that.

...Meanwhile with Jung-Won he talked just a bit, but they seem to be in good terms. JW offers a lot of interesting technical information about cameras, surprisingly, so maybe a collaboration could happen in the future.

I guess he could be the "leader" of the benchers? Sung-Joon tends to claim that title himself given he's older, but all the rest believes Hyeon-Dae fits the role better. Even if he doesn't always know what to do most of the time (?

Final thing for now, but midway the asian eliminatories, he had quite the curious encounter in a japanese camera shop: With Adel Siddique, a bencher of the Qatari team with the same exact dream as his (Read their profiles pls). After having a nice conversation about filming equipment the two decided to keep in contact -be it phone numbers or the few social media of the era-. They are still on good terms in the future, but the truth is that they are now focused on their individual careers. Does this mean that they could end up competing for an award? Most likely. I won't say who gets to win the Oscar tho (?

A random tidbit that I want to add here to end is that, for some reason, Hyeon-Dae's 3D sprite made his pupils look like literal minuses ➖➖, similar to those of a goat. The anime went with an approach closer to his actual sprite; pupils still "blocky" but more normal-looking.

(Source for the pic)

Honestly the latter medium made him look so much better overall. That bowlcut can't be fixed tho, I'll say that (? 😭🙏

DRAGON FIVE: Heo Ji-Nan

Since its the Year of the Dragon, wouldn't you guys mind if I post about the Fire Dragon bench? They're my side hyperfixation that I love writing about every so often 🥺

Also yes, I specify bench because I don't care much about the main team for now. At least outside of their dynamics with the benchers that is-

First we have Ji-Nan, the reserve keeper. He's so cute ;____;

His profile implies that he lives in Seoul despite being from the south, so I like to interpret that his family moved there at some point of his life.

Typical story of a parent managing to gain a better place to live at thanks to their job; the usual. While most of the family was ok with the moving, Ji-Nan does get homesick at times, specially of the warmer temperatures. His original home are the Jeju Islands, by the way.

Because of the sudden change of location, Ji-Nan still has it hard to get used to living in the big city overall. At least joining his school's soccer club helped him make some friendships, I guess.

So, about his issues with the cold, here's a cruel fact: Ji-Nan has cold intolerance, which makes enduring the Seoul winters even worse. To cope with them he tends to put on puffy jackets, scarfs, gloves, and tons of layers of clothing. Otherwise expect him to catch him a cold very quickly…

The little hat he wears is just something he bought in hopes to warm himself up.

He has an older brother, but that gets constantly on his nerves because of his mischievous and unneeded comments towards him. When Ji-Nan practices soccer, he likes to act as a striker, and he will celebrate intensely every goal he makes against his brother.

...Though, Ji's very hot-headed overall. He doesn't take jokes very lightly, and he gets pissed off easily. I don't see him as violent when he's angry, closest thing is that he's quite petty and tends to complain about others in secret. Soccer and goalkeeping are also ways he lets his fury out without hurting others, supposedly.

Though in very rare occassions, Ji-Nan CAN actually try and fight someone no matter the size.

I like the idea of Ji-Nan using Dai Bakuhatsu Harite a very different way than the one seen animated: While the main keeper uses many but enough hits to stop the ball, the reserve often hits the ball way too much and with too fast, causing it to be slightly burned after the final explosion. This is an unwanted side-effect that's caused by a badly performed move.

His relationship with main keeper Jo Jung-Soo is okay, given there isn't an actual rivarly; and even JS himself sees potential on Ji-Nan. Unfortunately, he is very aware that the reserve keeper often puts too many of his negative emotions into his moves; which isn't neccesarily a bad thing but such intense things create the side-effects we mentioned earlier. So Jung-Soo always keeps an eye on him, and steps in is Ji-Nan is being his usual salty self.

"Don't let your fire get too intense, it will damage your playing style".

JN unfortunately doesn't have the best reaction to this, feeling often misunderstood. But at least later on the FFI he realizes healthier ways to express his negative feelings while also finding peace of mind. He probably got onto meditation or something

Because of the bad relationship with his older brother, te tends to become attached to pretty much every single older boy that treats him better. Jung-soo? The coach? The other benchers? You name it. Please ignore the fact that 3/4 of the bench aren't great people, the bar is just that low for him.

Though, Hwan Woo-Myang having a similar personality to his brother -always teasing Ji-Nan and his skills- can cause some tension between the two. Even if he's just being mischievous, this still is able to open the worst side of the little keeper, straight up talking shit behind him at any chance.

...For something more positive at least, time did make both boys mature a bit; removing Ji-Nan's petiness and making Woo-Myang a bit more considerate for others. After a re-encounter as adults the two surprisingly bonded well this time around, and they soon became good friends. Nowadays every weekend Woo-Myang likes to take Ji-Nan to eat and/or sing together. They always are having fun!

Speaking of the future, after the FFI Ji-Nan was the only FD bencher that kept playing football. Despite everything he never gave up and kept training, and soon enough after perfecting his skills enough he was given a spot on a professional Seoul team.

Another thing that contributed to his rising fame was his bond with Jung-Soo, given that they were in pretty good terms and often tried to train together. Nonetheless, Ji-Nan prefers to go his own way, even as to wishing to soon play internationally unlike the main keeper (Who'd rather stay on Korea as to keep improving local football).

Last thing, but a huge issue that did held back Ji-Nan during his early football days was his height. After all, with the current best korean keeper being huge, why would anyone place their trust on a tiny one? To compensate that, he trains very hard almost daily, following a rough excersice routine crafted from trial and error. At least once his daily effort is done, he loves to eat a huge bowl of fresh fruit.

(And yeah, don't expect him to get any despective comment about his height very positively).

[quincyhorst]

Just so you know, I've decided I want to work on these two. I'm going to turn them into "OCs" 😈

Their names are Danilo (Left) and Bastian (Right), for now.

Hiiiii <3 I'm back (Partially). Winter holidays are coming just a week more I think, please bear with me ;_____;

Either way, let's bring some activity here again with a HUGE bomb.

...You'll see, time ago I was watching episode 68 -as to see something regarding the Red Matador vs Unicorn match-... And I instead caught THIS during Brockenborg vs KOQ...

...Who are these two?

(This was originally a cut but I removed it lol)

Some small clarifications:

Obviously, these must be either beta or placeholder designs for the Brockenborg players. The episode was aired in February 03, 2010. 5 months before the game was released. If the final designs for the teams were done already by that point or not, we'll never know.

When it comes to the already existing BB players, the left boy looks like a mixture of Maximiliam (Red band boy) + Alexander (Green boy), and the right one is more like Peter (Only one with colored uniform). I did thought he could be him actually, but... Peter just happens to appear just a scene before, and from the other side of the field. So yeah, it isn't him.

Either way, this is a curious finding. Maybe this isn't a case of who they are, but... What they were? Ignoring the placeholder truth aside, this could make for a cool concept. Inazuma Japan has had few members leave the team and be replaced, so who knows if any other team went through the same. Maybe these two were players that got expelled before Brockenborg went to Liocott? It's a possibility.

#brockenborg #They are not part of the soccer team (anymore) #BUT they are still part of BB nonetheless. Just another way huehuehuehuehuehue #Once I'll give their surnames I'll give them their own tags + post in detail #...But how do I tag them; though? Using OC: or a plain one like if they were canon characters #(Which they aren't.............) #Maybe SemiOC? SOC:? #Not sure :(

[quincyhorst]

I think something that changed me is finding out french and spanish people don't seem to get on well. Like, digging around on spanish Xitter does bring you to some jokes/memes aganist the French and all. Example:

Not sure if this is reciprocated from the frenchies, but it already was HUGE for me.

...Though to my surprise turns out it wasn't something because of history (I mean... Napoleon) or similar, but because... Streamer rivalries? Not sure. Other than that, this doesn't seem to be that strong, not even on soccer. Though ngl... I'd love to see FFI Spain and France have something going on >:D

I think that for the most part, it's a healthy rivarly. Most of the players of either team don't hate the opposite party, though it is true there is some resentment coming from RM towards RG due to previous experiences with them in the former Euro League (1 tie and 1 french win).

The tension is most promiment on the captains overall. They like to keep it fair and square in the match; two opposite defenders who are willing to prove one another who's the best leading their team. But at the same time, well... Let's just say that Pierre has had some weird fascination with the lion for a long time, even before their current teams were formed. Whatever is the reason why, it always ends with Pierre taking any chance to tease and provoke him. Even if he doesn't hold any ill will aganist Que, with his typical self-centered atitude he can become a nuisance quite fast. At least Que has his goals always set: To kick that stuck up french's ass at ANY chance.

Of course, the relationship between captains isn't all that bad. When France and Spain were both mutually eliminated, Pierre and Querardo were able to put their tensions aside and support each other in a moment that had left the two distressed (Plus Jonas could be a nice mediator. Emphasis on could). I think their relationship improved quite a bit thanks to that. Who knows, maybe they left Liocott as friends :)
