Inazuma Eleven birthday art batch 3 (Batch 1) (Batch 2)
Flower explanation and alt versions of Kidou's art under read more
Lotus: Symbolizes purity, strength, resilience, and rebirth. It's commonly used as Buddhism symbolism, and some depictions of Acala (Fudo Myoo), which is the Buddhist deity Fudou is named after, depict him with the flower
Anemone: Also called windflower. The purple anemone was used as protection against evil, fitting Kazemaru's position as defender and his arc in the second season
Rose: The official flower of Father’s Day, with red roses representing alive fathers and white roses to honor deceased fathers, representing how fatherhood is a central theme in Kidou's writing. Red roses mean true love and passion. White roses mean innocence, purity, and virtue. The combination of red and white roses together symbolize unity
Tiger lily: Symbolizes confidence, pride, prosperity, and good fortune
Some Fudous in my folder that I keep for no other reason than cute
Why do you have each other's hair color as eye color? Because of gay? You want me to say gay pride?
I always have been associating Kidou and Sakuma with eyes motifs but I was reminded of an interview saying that Fudou's eyes are expressive, so maybe eyes is a Penguin Trio and Teikoku thing? probably. But yes you can watch in the anime that Fudou's emotions are stored in his eyes.
And I'm very glad they still keep it in GO movie!! I had a discussion with @pinyacoladas about his eyes and if one looks closely they're drawn differently that when he was younger to make him less freaky.
GO!Fudou have longer, more oval shaped irises and his eyeliner game isn't as strong as baby Fudou's (as in the lineart for his eyes are thinner than young Fudou's are)
My guess on why are Fudou's eyes so expressive? From shape psychology theory perspective is:
Fudou's eye shape and eyebrows are triangle-like. In shape theory triangles symbolize movement, motion, and energy compared to rectangle and circle. His eyebrows are short and thin making them easy to notice even on GO!Fudou when he has full bangs. For see more closely one can watch the clip above and compare Fudou and Kazemaru's eyes as Kazemaru has round eyes and longer eyebrows
Fudou's design change in GO with longer iris and thinner lineart softens his expressions. I'm guessing this has to do with the smaller negative space it creates too but I don't have enough knowledge on it atm. He still does the shrinking iris thing as an adult though lol (on clip)
Not the same expression but the eyes are drawn in the same manner
the thought of kidou being an adoptive father makes me laugh a lil because huh.... so just like his father 😭
this is unless the partner is a uterus haver and they're willing to bear child but kidou just doesn't strike me that he would do that. he will adopt regardless to give an already existing child a family
What's also funny is how in game everyone stops Kidou before he gets too far but no one gaf when Sakuma is beefing on Fudou in anime like,
Game
Kidou: shut the fuck up before I -
The others: hey... calm down... he wants your reaction....
Anime
Sakuma: FUCK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
The others, Kidou included: 🤷
My favorite game vs anime difference of S3 so far is how Kidou is the one beefing against Fudou and everyone has to stop him before he punch Fudou's face
Bonus: This scene below happens after Kidou scolds Fudou for making fun of Toramaru saying he can't sleep if not at his home. Hiroto's response is sweet and funny
some neojapan headcanons bc I love this team so much
Narukami wears headphones bc he's got sensitive hearing and gets overwhelmed in noisy situations
Demete suffers from insomnia. unable to get a full 8 hours at night, he instead takes little naps throughout the day. he's considered taking sleeping pills, but ever since Zeus he's reluctant to take medication for any reason
I like to think that, aside from soccer, Kidokawa Seishuu also puts focus on music and encourages its students to play instruments. Tsutomu plays violin, his older brother Tomo plays piano and the eldest Masaru plays the clarinet (also Gouenji plays the cello)
Makiya is non-binary, and Segata and Arata are transgender. they use they/them, he/they and he/him pronouns respectively
Segata is taking testosterone. Arata is on puberty blockers
Makiya gets homesick since Senbayama is supposedly pretty far away. they're used to getting up before sunrise to feed the chickens back at home. in neojapan, they often wake up early to watch the sun rise by themselves and cry for a bit
neojapan's managers are named Nami and Touya, and I don't have designs for them yet but I might draw them
Some of the Aliea kids were adopted by different families after the end of season 2. Izuno was adopted by two mothers, whose other son is around his age. Ishidaira was adopted by a mother and father with no kids. Segata was adopted by a mother and father, and has an older sister now. Saginuma and Atsuishi decided to stay at the orphanage under Hitomiko's care.
Genda has glasses but often forgets to wear them. he thinks he looks lame with them on but everyone thinks he looks very handsome
Jimon has three sisters, so he's not as flustered about "girl stuff" as the rest of the team. he also doesn't poke fun at Arata or Hera for wearing makeup
Izuno, Tsutomu and Kirigakure are pretty good at cooking, and enjoy helping their managers cook if they've got enough energy left after training
Hera's guilty pleasure is watching ballet dancing. he's completely enamoured with it but will die before he admits it to anyone. once of his most treasured possessions is a DVD recording of Swan Lake
Ishidaira, Gouin, Yuukoku and Atsuishi suffer from chronic pain
Yuukoku's wiki page says that he has psychic powers and can talk to ghosts, so I like to think that he also gets chronic migraines. this gets in the way of his training sometimes, but the coach had blackout curtains installed in his room so he can lay down in the dark til his migraine passes
Atsuishi also has a weak immune system and spent a lot of time in hospital as a kid. he's doing a lot better since then but still prone to getting sick
Gouin has a lot of scars on his chest and back from a house fire that happened when he was younger. he's one of the players who always gets dressed in a shower stall, so no one knows about them
Ishidaira has fibromyalgia. he started playing soccer and practicing martial arts since exercising is a great way to decrease his pain, and found that he's pretty good at them
Sengoku Igajima is located in a forest at the foot of a mountain, the students spend a lot of time outdoors and learn to forage and grow their own food, how to survive in the wild and a fair bit of medical knowledge. Kirigakure is CPR certified, and knows how to bandage and suture a wound
Genda's scar from Shin Teikoku is real and he's been covering it up with makeup. Jimon noticed that it's not a perfect match to his skin tone, so he dragged him to a makeup store along with his oldest sister so she could help him find the right shade of concealer
Narukami can sing really well, but he's too embarrassed to do it in front of anyone. he likes to stay behind in the changing rooms til everyone else is gone so he can sing in the shower
Izuno runs VERY hot. some of the players call dibs on sitting next to him on the couch bc he's like a human space heater
Saginuma is a sleepwalker and routinely scares the shit out of anyone up at night, bc he's tall and pale and lets his hair down when he goes to bed, making him look not dissimilar to the girl from the ring
This was originally a paired drawing but oh well
Anyway the Hakushuu demons are STRONG
creation of emperor penguin 7
the penguins are rainbow colored because of pride
