Do You Think Sakuma Will Ever Act Like His Off-duty Self When He Sees The Teikoku (inago) Members Outside

Shirou talks about looking into one's own self and Kidou and Sakuma's gay asses choose to look at each other

Sometimes I love the internet, actually. Incomprehensibly huge place but also so small. Saw a video on Instagram where Crayola was announcing they’re coming out with a box with some limited edition previously retired colors, including Dandelion. This video had hundreds of comments and almost all of them where “omg where’s the dandelion crayon girl she’s going to be so happy” and it was such an unimportant thing, but it was just cute

I’m afraid that when I say “my butch,” people, especially straight people, are hearing “my daddy.” That’s fine for many. But when I say “my butch”, what I mean is:

Sakuma, Sakuma, Sakuma, Sakuma, and Fudou

Genda Koujirou Analysis

I’d like to start by thanking dear @gracyfangirl2020 for requesting me this analysis, Genda is one of my favourite character after al,l and I hope to give him justice.

Genda is such a caring, reliable, down to earth friend, he inspires trust in others and despite being a supporting character, he often plays an important role. His first real appearance is during Raimon’s second match against Teikoku, ep 12, where he’s shown to be the only one worried about Kidou’s wellbeing and what he was up to.

We can see just how much he cares and how he’s ready to just stop his friends from doing anything that could bring them harm 

BUT, here’s the second most important thing about Genda: he follows orders. Despite his will to protect Kidou, he won’t defy an order from the higher ups.

He reminds me of the yakuza, honestly, he’s passionate but knows when to restrain himself, obedient and loyal, he’d make the perfect right hand man for a yakuza’s boss and anyway I believe he was born and raised in a very traditional/strict family.

But despite all this, he’s a person with a rooted moral sense and we can see, both in the original series and in Ares, just how much he despises Kageyama for his action. Even if he has to recognize him as his Coach again and again he won’t be silent about his disapproval.

He’s fierce and passionate and in the original series

his role as the emotional pillar for his friends is as clear as day.

It is no coincidence that during the Aliea arch he and not Sakuma was the one directly pursued by Fudou. If you weaken the one peoples rely on, it’ll be easier to bring the others down as well.

And yet, even with the Aliea Stone that enhanced his negative emotions, he was still able to care and worry for Sakuma, that shows just how big his heart truly is. Stronger than hatred, stronger than its dark side itself.

A similar situation happened in Ares as well. By putting him on bench, Kageyama knew he would upset the team, damaging its emotional balance and performances. And only when he came back on the field did they unite once more as a whole oiled machine.

Not only he gave stability to his team, he even acted upon his own moral code and judgment, ripping the captain’s band from Shimerigawa 

to give it back to whom he believed worthy of wearing it (Sakuma),

without asking first to the one that should’ve been in charge of such a decision. He follows orders, yes, but he also has limits.

Deeply disgusted by disrespectful people

Always supportive of his friends in all their decisions, like when Kidou switched to Raimon and wanted to take Zeus down

or when he went to Kidou’s graduation ceremony

A heart so big that makes him constantly worry for his team

but for others as well

In conclusion I’d say that he’s one of the few characters I’d go to for advices and I know I’d be greeted by an heart-warming smile.

Hope this was a good analysis and what you expected <3

watched the cyborgs match in season 1 yesterday again and felt like doodling some of them :]

waiting for the sunrise

i feel like lot of things people easily miss or fail to do when analyzing ina11 characters is nuance or "these conflicting traits can coexist in the same character" and from observation it often happens due to projecting or biased view..

at which shindou is the main victim of this treatment because everyone remembers his weaker moments when he isn't thinking straight but rarely his kind actions and thoughts (which there are so many)... leading to the amount of mean shindou jokes which immensely pisses me off. if i were to sum it up, shindou is mostly strict when it comes to serious events where things are at stake because it's his role to keep things under control, otherwise he's very gentle to people. strict shindou and nice shindou are two traits of his that coexist, and so is shindou who is taken by his emotions because he feels strongly especially for people he cares for

there's also how kazemaru's breakdown is the part people remember about him but rarely his s1 focus and episode 94... understandably these scenes are the ones that leave impression in people but ina11 (OG and GO specifically) is a series that did a good job giving depth to the characters in off match scenes and more sublte interactions and i wish people take time in thinking about them too

i'm guessing i'm one who takes more time in the off match scenes because i came from slice of life genre and my favorite episode is episode 56 that flies under people's radar when it's very important in the kidou arc. people (and areori writers) forgot that kidou is supposed to stay at raimon for temporary time and S1 ended at him being Interested towards raimon at most instead of being Attached. he just stayed with them in early S2 because the schools are being destroyed and he only decided to stay after sakuma's encouragement

I think adult fei looks camp and he’s giving afgan hound so i like his design
