Well, looks like I'm gonna debate for Endou. It won't be my longest debate ever, tho^^

Well, let's get this straight to begin with.

No one burns with a fiercer passion for football than Raimon's fearless captain!,

''The hot blooded captain. He has a never-give-up spirit.'',

''Raimon's hot-blooded captain. Famous for his never-say-die spirit!''.

Do I even need to explain those sentences? His spirit is the most important part of at least all original Inazuma Eleven seasons! No Inazuma Eleven without Endou! His spirit made both Kidou and Gouenji join the team..

Season 1
Well of course there's the very beginning. Endou can't be missed here! Without him, the soccer club would've been dismissed, which meant no IE. Of course, in every match Endou was really important. First match against Teikoku: His God Hand and his spirit made Gouenji join the team. Teikoku withdrew and Raimon won. Second match against Occult: Endou saw the trick of Ghost Lock. If he didn't see that, Raimon would've lost for sure. Third Match VS Nose: Endou convinced Kabeyama not to be afraid of heights, and because of his never-give-up spirit, Kabeyama was able to do Inazuma Otoshi with Gouenji. 4th match against Mikage Sennou. I loved this match the most, because Endou convinced all of Mikage Sennou to enjoy soccer, which is just the most important part of soccer! Also, he performed Inazuma Ichigo of course, which was pretty epic.

I could go on and on with these matches, but in all of them Endou did something important that was a big part of the victory of Raimon.

Season 2
"Onwards towards this season, his hyperactive personality tones down as he later understands that his teammates are much more important than when he realizes he was only thinking highly for himself that they can clear every challenge anywhere."

This is literally from Endou's page. This just shows his great character development; he saw his hyperactive personality sometimes had a negative effect on some people, so he changed. This is just the most important part of this round; character development. I think Endou showed this most of all three. I mean Kidou and Gouenji are amazing characters with good storylines, but they simply cannot match the development Endou went through. Kidou had his story with Kageyama, Gouenji his story with Yuuka. There's no real development in that, to be honest.

Then again, I love to citate, "I'm in love with your eyes, Mamoru-kun." --Gran

Have you ever thought good about this? His eyes show his spirit! Gran was "affected" by Endou too, obviously! And this is just one example! Almost every antagonist in the series turned "good" because of Endou, or at least Endou had something to do with it.

Season 3
I'm not going to keep repeating everything but again, here I have to show some of Endou's spirit and kindness. He helped Orpheus, even if that meant he would probably (and he did) lose the match against The Empire! (Note: Kidou also did this, yes. Gouenji didn't.)

I'm not going to do GO and CS, because I think Gouenji, Kidou and Endou were equal in this. There's only one thing I want to say about this: Did Raimon GO/CS/any team EVER ask for Kidou or Gouenji as their coach? No they didn't. Were they ever really happy Kidou or Gouenji was their coach? No they weren't. Endou? YES! Everyone wanted Endou as the final coach for Chrono Storm, not Gouenji and Kidou (:

Some extra things about Endou I'd like to say:

-- The way he was able to create a hissatsu in such a short amount of time! And from a small book that's almost unreadable! Or just by hearing "gan-shan-dwan"! This is really awesome.

-- The fact that Endou convinced Tachimukai to join Raimon and everything, making him become one of the best goalkeepers ever, with incredible hissatsu.

-- His proverbs. I always loved them, especially when he said "Let's play soccer!". Other characters never had such an impact on me.

-- Mecha Endou! Everyone loved Mecha Endou! And that's mainly because, of course, he's like Endou himself. This was just great.

-- If I'm not mistaken, Endou also helped Zanark in his "Chrono Stone form"! I don't know what he exactly did/said to Zanark, but when Endou was back to his normal form, even Zanark looked 'shocked'!

And I know also Gouenji and Kidou had their epic moments some time, but they just can't match the development and the epic moments Endou had.

This was my debate, and I know I didn't do such a good job this time, because I don't feel very well, but as Endou says: "Don't give up without even trying!". I tried, and I hope it'll be good enough ;)
