Inazuma Eleven: Heroes' Victory Road

"I hate soccer..." With those bitter words, Sasanami Unmei makes a drastic decision to escape the sport he despises. Determined never to watch another match again, he transfers to Nagumohara Junior High School in Kyushu, specifically choosing the institution because it lacks a soccer club entirely. He believes he has finally found a quiet refuge where his painful aversion to the game will no longer be tested. However, fate intervenes when an unexpected encounter sends a literal bolt of lightning through Unmei's heart. He crosses paths with Sakurazaki Joji, a formidable young man whose overwhelming physical strength strikes fear into everyone around him. When Unmei witnesses the sheer, explosive power behind Sakurazaki's kick, something dormant within him suddenly awakens, shattering his resolve to stay away from the sport forever. Completely captivated by that raw athletic force, Unmei approaches the feared student with a bold proposition. Rather than running from the game, he invites Sakurazaki to join him in an ambitious endeavor: founding a brand-new soccer club at Nagumohara Junior High from scratch. Driven by this electrifying inspiration, Unmei begins plotting their path forward, setting the stage for a remarkable journey back to the pitch he once swore to abandon.
