So.

Season 1.

To begin with, Kazemaru appeared much more because he's just a main character, Aphrodi is not. This is no advantage or anything like that. Aphrodi appeared as the final team, Zeus, led by Kageyama Reiji. He was their captain, and that wasn't for nothing. Kazemaru; he appeared in the full 1st season. He joined Raimon only because he wanted to help out Endou for a bit, not because he really loved soccer. Later on, he was doubting to leave again, because he was only there to help out, and he did that. Even in the 2nd season, he started to doubt again (will talk about that later). Now where was Kazemaru important? Maybe in the match against Sengoku Igajima, yes. He proved that he wanted to continue playing soccer, towards himself and Miyasaka and just all of Raimon. In my opinion, he was just trying to show of his so called "skills" (which really weren't that much) to Miyasaka, until she finally agreed with him staying in the soccer team. Felt to me like Miyasaka had the decision there, not Kazemaru. Kazemaru also came up with 1 shot, Honoo no Kazamidori with Gouenji. First of all, this wasn't even an original shot. Secondly, everyone knows this shot became a little strong (in that match only, later on it was just weak), because of Gouenji's kick power, not Kazemaru's. Aphrodi, on the contrary, only appeared in the final match. He possessed the strongest SOLO shoot hissatsu, AND the strongest dribble hissatsu of the whole 1st season! Now don't come with the "but he could do that because of the Aqua of the Gods"-thing, because that's drivel. As shown in Season 2 he can also do those without. So, Aphrodi scored some goals until his God Knows got caught by Endou. Is that bad? Not at all; many shoots were caught in the anime, finally. It's still better than Honoo no Kazamidori, A COMBINATION SHOOT HISSATSU, too. And of course, Heaven's Time was just obviously stronger than Shippuu Dash.

Season 2.

In this season, Kazemaru was still a main character. Aphrodi, again, wasn't. So Kazemaru appeared a little more. BUT he didn't even appear that much, as he just quit the team after he thought he wasn't good enough. That's a real bad thing. Aphrodi joined Raimon for one match some time AFTER Kazemaru left. So the opponent was stronger than the teams Kazemaru had faced in season 2 yet. Aphrodi was doing very well against Chaos. He didn't fully gain Raimon's trust, but when Gouenji started believing him, so did the others. And you have to agree; getting Gouenji's trust back so easily is a big deal. Well, Aphrodi could use God Knows and scored a goal. Later on, he tried to break through the defense which became pretty hard. He kept trying and trying, but in the end didn't succeed, no. But so did none of the other Raimon members, and Kazemaru couldn't even try because he quit. Aphrodi got injured because of helping Raimon, some kind of hero if you ask me...getting injured but not stopping because you want to help someone out.

Kazemaru later on appeared again in Season 2, as the captain of Dark Emperors. He could use an advanced Shippuu Dash, Triple Boost and Dark Phoenix. He was pretty quick and all, yes. But he used the Aliea crystal! I'm expecting someone to counter with 'yeah but Aphrodi also used the Aqua of the Gods when he was in Zeus'. Correct! But I've seen Aphrodi using God Knows and Heaven's Time in season 2, and those were even stronger than when he was in Zeus! I've never seen Kazemaru using Dark Phoenix or Triple Boost anymore, maybe because his partners were never there, tho. That may be true. But I've never seen his "advanced Shippuu Dash" anymore, either? He came with Fuujin no Mai later, but his advanced Shippuu Dash was just gone...

Season 3.

Again, Kazemaru was just a main character, so he appeared much more. His 2 new hissatsu; Fuujin no Mai and Tatsumaki Otoshi. I have to say, Fuujin no Mai is a very effective dribble hissatsu, but I think it can be compared to Heaven's Time. Tatsumaki Otoshi...well...it seems like a strong shoot, and it has never been caught. I don't see why he didn't use it against Little Gigant; was it too weak for that? Aphrodi only appeared again in Fire Dragon; again, in the final team of the Asia Prelims. Their tactic was great! One of the hardest tactics to break through, probably. He could use a new shoot, God Break, which is also one of the strongest solo shoots in the whole Inazuma Eleven universe. He also got a new combination shoot, Chaos Break. This was a really strong shoot, VERY hard to stop! At least even, but probably better than Tatsumaki Otoshi. Yes, it's 3 users, but it's harder to kick the ball at the same time with 3 users and still create this powerful shot, than getting a boost and shooting alone, from a very comfortable position (to shoot). In the end, Fire Dragon lost, yes. But it was a great match.

Now let's talk about the matches Kazemaru was important, again! Maybe against Neo Japan for a bit, when he learned his Fuujin no Mai and could get past an opponent ONE TIME? Yes, so useful. I think he probably even lost the ball, or at least didn't score, afterwards. His Tatsumaki Otoshi may've scored twice, yes. I almost forgot about The Hurricane; yes, this is also a very strong shoot hissatsu, but it has only scored against Unicorn. Again; why wasn't it used against Little Gigant? Too weak, again? Probably.

To add to this season; all strong shoot hissatsu Kazemaru had appeared after defeating Fire Dragon. Kazemaru had much more time to develop a new hissatsu, so it's only naturally he did. If Aphrodi appeared again at the end of the season with 2 new hissatsu, he would've been so much better than Kazemaru.

GO.

Kazemaru didn't appear here; only once, looking at a match of Raimon. Aphrodi was Kidokawa Seishuu's coach. I don't know if you all noticed, but Aphrodi let those brothers that had some kind of 'fight' during the match (Taki and his bro xD) fix it themselves. He knew it would turn out all right, and if it didn't, he would be able to stop it before it went too far. He was a great coach, as seen, because Kidokawa Seishuu was a very strong opponent, with a GOOD TACTIC, which Aphrodi must've helped making. Kidokawa Seishuu could also easily deal with the new field, because I think Aphrodi told the captain, Kishibe, what to do. (If this isn't the case, they were just so well trained they could figure it out themselves).

Heh...Done.
