Synopsis

Tenma Matsukaze is a new student at Raimon Junior High. Due to his love for soccer, he decides to join the school soccer team, which gained its reputation after the amazing performance shown ten years earlier in the Football Frontier International, a tournament that hosts the best youth teams the world has to offer. Unfortunately, the once renowned school doesn't have the soccer spirit it once enjoyed.

This is primarily due to the fact that soccer in Japan is now controlled by a dark entity known as the "Fifth Sector." They alone decide the fate of every match, instructing teams to either win or lose. The actions of the Fifth Sector have beaten down the country’s soccer teams, who no longer have a love for the game.

Tenma and his teammates will look to shift this paradigm and fight back against their evil oppressors. Thankfully, they will not be alone in this battle, as they will get help from a group known as the "Resistance." Cheer on the boys of Inazuma Eleven Go as they fight the good fight!

Inazuma Eleven GO continues the anime 10 years later with a brand-new series. Marking the beginning of a new generation, it's one of my favorite seasons! In this season, new characters make their appearance, such as Arion Sherwind (Tenma Matsukaze), Riccardo Di Rigo (Takuto Shindou), Victor Blade (Kyousuke Tsurugi), Jean-Pierre Lapin (Shinsuke Nishizono), Sol Daystar (Taiyou Amemiya), Gabriel Garcia (Kirino Ranmaru), Skie Blue (Aoi Sorano), Ryoma Nishiki, and Bailong (Hakuryuu), thus embodying the new generation of Raimon. It's always a pleasure to see the iconic old characters again, even if they take more of a backseat, which is completely normal. Additionally, Raimon Middle School is ... brand new thanks to the success and legacy of Mark and his friends.

One might think that this season is the same as the first season, meaning we have a new team, participating in a tournament (in this case, the Holy Road), and the plot repeats itself, but not at all! The Fifth Sector plays a central role in this new season by imposing strict rules and manipulating match results. The Fifth Sector claims to act for the good of football, by preventing level disparities between teams and ensuring player safety. But in reality, it stifles the creativity, passion, and sportsmanship of young footballers, who must comply with its orders or face sanctions. This system is an insult to football, as it denies the fundamental values of the sport, such as fair play, respect, self-improvement, and the joy of playing. It turns football into a rigged spectacle, where players are mere pawns serving obscure interests. It deprives spectators of the emotion and surprise that come from an unpredictable and fiercely contested match.

This system bears resemblance to reality, especially regarding match-fixing scandals that have hit Italian football. Indeed, several Serie A players are currently under investigation for participating in illicit sports betting on underground platforms. Some of them are even suspected of influencing match outcomes in exchange for money or favors. These illegal practices undermine the integrity and credibility of Italian football, which has already been tarnished by similar scandals in the past. They jeopardize the future of Calcio, risking the loss of trust from its supporters and partners.

Raimon's role in the fight against the Fifth Sector is crucial and inspiring. Raimon is one of the few clubs openly opposing the Fifth Sector, refusing to follow suit like many formidable opponents who are either under Fifth Sector control or allied with its cause. The team also faces the threat of the Dragon Alliance, a secret team formed by the Fifth Sector to eliminate the Rebellion. Raimon represents the hope and resistance of all young footballers who want to change the system and restore true football. Raimon is supported by former players from the previous generation like Mark Evans, Axel Blaze, and Jude Sharp, who experienced the glory and joy of football. Raimon is also followed by many fans who admire its courage and determination. Raimon symbolizes the football revolution aimed at overthrowing the Fifth Sector and freeing the world's most popular sport.

Among significant innovations, the concept of the Fighting Spirit (Keshin) is an original and fascinating addition to the Inazuma Eleven GO universe. It's a manifestation of the strength and will of football players, allowing them to transform into mythical or legendary creatures with extraordinary powers. It adds an epic and spectacular dimension to football matches, turning them into true battles between overpowering beings. It also helps develop the personality and character of the characters, who must learn to master their Fighting Spirit, evolve it, and synchronize it with their teammates. The Fighting Spirit is a symbol of the passion and courage of players who spare no effort to achieve their dreams.

Inazuma Eleven Go is set ten years after the iconic Inazuma Japan lift the Football Frontier International trophy against the Little Gigant in the final. Matsukaze Tenma is our protagonist in the show looking to enter the Raimon Junior High football club.
The premise of the show is quite different from its prequel, ten years in the future all the schools are managed by an organization called "Fifth Sector" who negotiate all the results of a soccer match and go by the belief that all schools should get equal attention when it comes to soccer. This restricts the club who are naturally at a higher ... level to other, such as Raimon, to not be able to play at their best. The results of the game are given to the teams and whatever the decision taken by the Fifth Sector the match should provide the exact same result and if it ignores its decision the club may get in danger of being disbanded. Raimon, because of its massive boost of success thanks to the majority of players in the Inazuma Japan team, is been getting talented players who transfer to the school in hopes of playing for them. The teams do as the Fifth Sector order them to but after Tenma joins up things begin to change as he tries to make everyone understand that this is not what true soccer actually is where there is no passion and hard work involved. Slowly as the show progresses, Endou Mamoru is appointed as their coach and the team continues to defy Fifth Sector's orders and play their own soccer.

There's also some new changes added to Inazuma Eleven Go with the introductions of "Keshins" or "Avatars" which is the soul embodied within a person. Avatars are constantly used in soccer matches as a means of shooting and even more for goalkeeping, as they tend to provide more power to the person. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Avatars and they're a little too fancy for me, and I still like the old school simple Hissatsu Techniques but still they're a lot of fun, no doubt. Avatar is first seen from Tsurugi Kyousuke, who is a "Seed" hell bent on destroying the Raimon Soccer club. "Seed" is the name given to the players trained specially by the Fifth Sectors and sent to different schools and who can use their Avatars at will. Although not every Seed can use an avatar, the high-class training given to them by Fifth Sector makes them a formidable opponent. A seed is present in each and every one of the schools across the nation and they have the duty too oversee if the club is obeying the orders of the Fifth Sector or not.

Inazuma Eleven Go starts extremely slowly from its first few episodes so I advice you to not expect more action and fun, free-flowing soccer right away. It takes it time to get going as Raimon continues to defy but it gradually keeps getting exciting once it reaches the Holy Road Tournament, which is the same as the Football Frontier Tournament in where top schools across the nation compete to be the best in the country.

There are a lot of new faces in the Raimon Junior High and the main one of them is Matsukaze Tenma. Tenma is seen to be saved by Gouenji in a flash back scene, where he kicks the ball and hits a big block of wood which would have hit Tenma when he tries to save a puppy as a small kid. The ball has a Raimon Junior High mark in it and he keeps the ball with him and hopes to join Raimon once he grows up. The next character is Tsurugi Kyousuke, who is sent to Raimon as their seed but instead intends on destroying their club completely. However as the series progresses and as Tsurugi takes part in most of the matches, he learns to admire his teammates and then joins them in their battle against the Fifth Sector. Tsurugi plays as a striker. Shindou Takuto is the captain of this new Raimon team and his role is as a midfielder. Shindou is seen to take out his Avatar when he is faced with Tsurugi at the start of the series and is the first non-seed to succeed using his Avatar in the series.

T-Pistonz+KMC continue to do a great job on the openings but the soundtracks in the series are just about alright and nothing too special. The voice acting is decent as well.

Inazuma Eleven Go doesn't live up to his prequel at all but all in all it's still enjoyable once it hits the mark. You may end up hating the series as a sequel but then again it's set ten years in the future and has completely new characters for the team and in that aspect Inazuma Eleven Go is the starting installment with two more sequels to it; Chrono Stone and Galaxy. I'd recommend you end it at episode 127 in Inazuma Eleven but if you're a hardcore fan of it and want more of the cool hissatsu techniques with new characters and are also willing to watch the sequels as well then you can give it a GO. (Pun intended).
Sorry.

Mixed Feelings

Inazuma Eleven GO! isn't as good as the original, but it's still fun. It's ten years after the original and soccer is run by Fifth Sector, who decides who wins and who loses in advance. To go against them is to get your school shut down... apparently. Yeah, it's dumb. Dumb like a fox! But half the fun of this show is how dumb it is. It's good-naturedly silly and they do try so very hard. The beginning is hard going since nobody but Tenma is willing to challenge Fifth Sector so there's a lot of whining, but once that's over with the plot is ...
