Round 6 : Kazemaru Ichirouta vs Afuro Terumi



My debate:

Season 1
In season 1 Kazemaru was originally a member of the athletics club, thus spotting no experience at football. Yet, he was one of the most intensively playing members in the match against Teikoku and was also the one who elevated Endou's spirit, when he sacrified himself in order to protect Endou. With this action he indirectly caused Gouenji to join, when he saw Endou's will to fight even against all odds. Later on he invented Shippuu Dash and trained how to use Honoo no Kazamidori, without doubt one of the stronger moves in the season, despite being put under pressure by athletic club members, especially Miyasaka, a good friend of his. He used Honoo no Kazamidori to score a goal and was one of the main factors for winning this team, as he was nearly the only one who could keep up with their speed. In the match against he and practically everyone was/were overpowered by Zeus, but after Endou mastered Majin The Hand, he rallied up and helped the team to make them win.

Aphrodi was really strong, especially with the Aqua of Gods, but was shown to have a weak character, easily irritated by Endou's will. Instead of focusing to beat him, he used to much power, so that his temporary buff wore off and thus leading to take a loss for his team.

Season 2
Season 2 was certainly not a good season for Kazemaru. At the beginning he had confidence in himself, especially in his speed, but was doubting it after meeting Fubuki. After some time, he tried to get stronger but was not focusing on his play, making to not catch up to Aliea plays.

Anime version

After the match against The Genesis, he entirely lost his confidence and left the wandering Raimon team.

Game version

He nearly lost his confidence, but in the match against The Genesis, he began to gain confidence and was the only one who coul keep with The Genesis, leading them to eliminate Kazemaru to not put in danger their victory against Raimon.

back to the anime...

He then joined Dark Emperors and came back with more power than ever before. His power was so high to the extent that even a simple Shippuu Dash was able to look like a teleportation and beating most the Raimon Eleven. Even SIMPLE shots had to be catched by Mugen The Hand so that they don't concede goals. Triple Boost, Bunshin Feint and Dark Phoenix, which was considered to be the strongest shot in the season, only adds more physical prowess to Kazemaru. He then was brought back to his senses by Endou's never-give-up spirit.

Anime version

Aphrodi joined Raimon in the match against Diamond Dust, also scoring a goal and helping Raimon to tie with them. In the match against Chaos, he scored some goals and helped Raimon to cope up with them. Yet, it is shown that he didn't overcome his weakness: his mental fraility. He was to obsessed to beat Ignite and Frozen Steal and forgot to play with his teammates and potentially could beat their iron defense.

Game version

Aphrodi offered Raimon a match to power them up for their against The Genesis.

Season 3
In season 3 he was selected to be a member of Inazuma Japan. He helped Inazuma Japan significantly and also took over once as a captain. Under harsh training he created many powerful techniques, such as Tatsumaki Otoshi, which led to an important goal against Fire Dragon, Fuujin no Mai, one of the strongest dribble hissatsu in the season and also psyched up Inazuma Japan, which in turn gained more confidence, and lastly The Hurricane which was used against Unicorn and Team Garshield and also led them to goals. It should be also noted that the Hurricane is considered to be one the fastest shots in the entire series, aswell as being powerful. He was not striving for power only, further training his speed and made many combination shots, thus leaving his weaknesses behind him.

Aphrodi appeared with his team, Fire Dragon, and caused many problems to Inazuma Japan. He showed God Break and Chaos Break, two powerful shots, but were ultimately stopped by Endou. He also was used to bring forth Perfect Zone Press, which was also broken by Inazuma Japan by using Route of Sky, in which Kazemaru also took part.

Conclusion
In conclusion, Kazemaru, albeit being a main character, had more of an impact in the series, than Aphrodi, scoring the more important goals and taking the better options to make the team in its entity better.
