in my case...hmm...even if saginuma changes to df or some other position i still don't see the need for a fourth gk. unless endou and nishikage get completely rekt and norika has to sub in. think....genda being decimated and knocked out in the zeus match kind of rekt. it's been a while since we got to see how dangerous it can be for goalkeepers too, while field players are getting blown away by mines or stabbed and stuff, so i'd kind of like to see that. when she gets to play i hope we see a good training flashback like the ones she alone used to get in ares, just to shut fans up a little about how she's not strong enough to be in IJ

i prefer fluffy norika, but im also digging this tomboyish norika. reminds me of this one teikoku girl from the inazuma everyday games. they dont even have enough budget to let the important characters have extended interactions, but i hope we get to see her interact with otani and poor anna who's holding on to the last sliver of her ares ojou sama personality

my petty ass loves that she's there, tho. not just because i like norika, but also because i like to see fans who were like "don't drop orion just cause your favs didn't make it!" suddenly talking about dropping orion cause their favs havent made it (yet) and these two have. or ppl who flip flop between "if this is how theyre going to treat them then i hope my fav doesn't make i!" and getting angry when their fav doesn't make it

i mean, i get it. i dropped the last eps of ares when Inazuma Japan was revealed and only went back to rewatch and finish it when i stopped being annoyed. now i like ares and am enjoying orion cause i love ina11 and i never learn. but its still fun to see the reactions
