Inazuma Eleven Episode 120

Plot Summary: The main character, Endou Mamoru, is a very talented goalkeeper and the grandson of one of the strongest goalkeepers in Japan, who died before he was born. Even though his skills are incredible his school lacks a real soccer club as the 6 other members don't appear very interested even in training. But as soon as a mysterious forward called Gouenji moves to Endou's town, the young goalkeeper sets out to find and recruit members for his soccer team.




Taken solely as an action series, the content here does not do anything terribly remarkable. Scenes where a hero is able to escape because captors underestimate his/her power, and where a hero exploits his/her power and stealth to rescue a loved one from imprisonment, have been staples of both animated and live-action shows for decades, so even Kurau's flying vehicle-jumping derring-do, while thrilling, is unlikely to stand out much in the mind of viewers. Of greater note are suggestions that Ayaka might have personal reasons for specifically seeking Kurau and that not all of the bad guys necessarily have evil motives, as well as allusions to an accident a couple of years earlier which may have a distinct impact on the plot.
