PLOT:

The story takes place 10 years later after the very first Football Frontier International in the first Inazuma Eleven series. Japan and what used to be soccer has changed since the 10 years that have passed to the point where people loses hope and their reason for playing soccer.
Now, soccer in Japan is being controlled by a mysterious underground organization known only as the “Fifth Sector” under the dictator rulings of one Ishido Shuuji, commonly known as the “Holy Emperor.
The Fifth Sector dictates whether a team should win or lose losing the entire essence of what true soccer used to be.
During this dark times comes a hero, Matsukaze Tenma, an aspiring first year who loves soccer and blessed with exceptional dribbling skills. Despite his rather obvious gifted talents, he still has lots of room for improvement.
Tenma joins the prestigious Raimon Jr. High who was well-known for its soccer back when they won the first Football Frontier International.
In hopes of making a name for himself in soccer, he joins Raimon soccer club only to witness the team despairingly lose against a mysterious opponent who came out of nowhere.
Overcome by the loss, numerous members left the team leaving only Tenma and a few players. Tenma is determined to bring Raimon Soccer Club back to its former glory.
Together with his newfound friends and teammates, they aim to free soccer from the clutches of the Fifth Sector so that everyone can finally play soccer that was meant to be played.
Thus begins the rebellion against the Fifth Sector but fret not as Raimon High will not be alone in this fight as unexpected help from the “Resistance” organization and previous characters from the original Inazuma Eleven join the fight to free soccer once and for all.



CHARACTERS:

Tenma Matsukaze is a midfielder and later became the captain of Raimon Soccer Club. He is shown to be remarkably nice, caring and friendly.
Due to his strong sens of justice, he oftentimes is seen standing up for what is right no matter who the opponent may turn out to be.
His passion and love for soccer sparked 10 years ago when Gouenji, the former striker of the first Inazuma Eleven, saved his life.
Growing up, Tenma has always looked up to Gouenji even to the point where he decided he wanted to go to Raimon High and join its soccer club, the very same school which Gouenji used to go to.
His passion for soccer is no joke; in fact it’s so intense that you could even compare it to Endou’s passion for soccer, the former captain of the first Inazuma Eleven.
Despite his rather optimistic outlook, he never fails to stand up for what he believes in no matter who they’re up against with. He tends to overdo thins when it comes to soccer that he usually ends up hurting himself during training.
