Indeed, the being at the cliffhanger reminds me of Ramiel from Evangelion. Well met @Kurieito :)

Trap card activated! And thnx for the chapter. Let's see how he copes when targeted for 90 minutes ;)

Thnx for the chapter! I can't shake the feeling a trap card is activated 😉

And in on fell swoop we caught up. Thanks very much for the effort ☺️ Ps: only just found out that Fukuda's club in Spain - Sabadell - is an actual football club (shame on me, I thought it was Espanol)

Bruhahaha. Aoi as dense as a slab of lead is funny 🤣

Let it Roll :D

Shishio's spinoff manga: kamikaze pilot reincarnated as a soccer player in another world 😂

@rangobongo: actually "Gabriel" from Giant Killing reminds me a lot of Ronaldinho, at least in looks :)

Thanks for the chapter 😊 Maybe I'm jumping the gun here, but I think this arc is about instilling a winner mentality in players versus nurturing individual qualities. A team of incredibly talented players can still play lacklustre if they are coached wrongly (aka Bayern under kovac) or fail to...

@duckydoggo I had the same. I also read giant killing where the j league clubs are fictionalised. For example Gamba Osaka is called Osaka Gunners Tokyo Verdi is Tokyo Victory Nagoya grampus is Nagoya gran palace And so on

The link Gin posted says enough, but when looking for team names and cities mentioned here i found this tidbit: "Aomori and its surrounding area are renowned for heavy snowfall, the heaviest among all Japanese cities, and, in fact, among the heaviest in the world."

Bebop, joehoe... Hmm didn't think about it that way. He reminds me of Gasback from Trigun Badlands

Isn't there a saying about walking into the dragon's ( or tiger's) mouth? Good luck Aoi, Jaap is only slumbering now :)

@Duckiedoggo: as he is a baldy, I think more like Angelino from RB Leipzig ;)

Haha, just found out akutsu is supposed to mean "low lying land". As a Dutchman I find that rather funny as our country is dubbed "the low country". Ok akutsu is now officially dubbed "Jaap Stam" (former defender from PSV, Ajax and Man United, known as a real hardcase)

@petrichormus: I explained this before. Akutsu and Aoi are essentially two sides of the same coin - both are able to trigger a reaction in others. For Aku its the Conflict method (negative energy) making other people think "I'll show ya" and for Aoi it's the spirit method (positive energy) -...

I'm actually thinking Tripone is of Brazilian or Portugese ancestry. His first name is Rufin in the translation, but in japanese sounds like Rufino or Rufiño, which sounds more Spanish or Portugese

Same outlook for both Aoi and Akutsu. Only Aoi forgets Taira completely, while Akutsu can't keep his trashy mouth shut. Two sides on one coin dayo

Final panel reminded me of an Olympic Games snowboarder. Overslept, missed a bus, forgot his coat. Still he got there on time and won the halfpipe. Pressure, what pressure?

@lisaisa: I read in Kuroko no Basuke once the expression "To hate one-self". Akutsu and Aoi are very much alike, only their energy differs. Aoi always has a positive drive, Akutsu has a very very negative outlook. Aoi wants to play the best football possible, Akutsu wants to surpass the best...
