I wasn't referring to the fact it didn't score, and there's no guarantee that Gouenji would've scored either. It was hyped to be this game changing hissatsu and it wasn't really necessary or used in the match. It wasn't really needed in the Red Bison match either

And watch them job even harder?
At least we get to know a lil bit more about our tastes.
Tbh, some of us are, others not so much.
I like Orion characters and Hissatsus more than the show itself, I watch it thanks to sheer curiosity and love for the franchise, not for the generic, half-assed plot / writing.
Just pointing it out how the topic got like, 3x active with the tier/taste sharing game than Orion's On-Topic talk.

Honestly, I found Orion to be absolutely hilarious. It's kinda in the middle of being way too serious and way too over-the-top which is honestly very funny. Unpolished frames also makes it pretty funny (like Haizaki's hair in that one episode where it stands up or his creepy OOC smile in episode 028.) Currently, Asuto is the king of unintended comedy the past few episodes like his one-man dribble against Spain and his "punches". I find that I enjoy this series much better as a comedy than trying to take it seriously as they intended.
I do have a lot of problems with it but I'll leave those to someone who could articulate those problems better than I could. I can't really take the bite when I bark.
The modern things it what I like from Ares and Orion, things like the Eleven Bands and License, the formations, some characters (I am looking at you, Sakanoue!), some hissatsu techniques. Also it was nice to see Fubuki Atsuya and Kira Hiroto.
The plot ? Not even close.
Seems Orion is not of a safe timeline after all for Ichinose and Domon's case. I didn't want them to be part of the casualty/sacrifice unless Episode 32 has the two of them joining Inazuma Japan or Star Unicorn returns.
Also yeah I watched RyuuRouge's Sub of Episode 29. Guess Masato is indeed his father unless Shinjou is revealed to be Asuto's uncle lol!
If they find out his dad is part of Orion then Asuto is kicked out of the team. You know what Orion Asuto might not be bad at all.
Also Masato's plan might fail...
I like it, I think the story is fun and mysterious enough, but it could be much better. the plot doesn’t feel innovative in any way except for maybe the protag’s dad being an antagonist/the protag joining the evil organization for a while. plus, the bad animation and weird pacing and reliance on fan service takes away from the already suffering story.
my fav thing was when fans were theorizing ichihoshi was blue cause of Rigel and each protag would represent a star and seeing all this symbolism everywhere and hino was just like “nah, I just wanted a blue character.” at the same time it’s kind of sad to see the fans’ enthusiasm die. they’re really trying to see depth where there isn’t to maybe make this more interesting.
it’s funny that they pushed back and rushed ares so that orion would air alongside the World Cup (the one most ppl know) and in the end we got a half assed product and orion didn’t air with the WC. not even close.
if it’s any consolation for hino, at least at some point it’s gonna air alongside the women’s World Cup where japan is a real contender for the title....with still no girls in IJ
lmfao just the other day I saw kidou fans saying he’s unfairly hated and blamed for everything and I was like wtf??? i’m thin skinned about my favs getting hate too but damn, he’s easily one of the most popular characters. he’s not even a base breaking character. that guy is always making top 5 even when endou and gouenji don’t make top 10. if anything i think guenji is the most disliked of the break trio. next ppl are gonna say kidou has it harder than someoka. but it’s funny how he doesn’t break the top two tiers for most ppl here. (still, that’s a far cry from being hated) or maybe this place is just special and most of y’all just don’t care about popular characters.

I haven’t watched the subs but man I hope masato is not his dad. it would feel like they’re just throwing plot twists for the sake of subverting expectations.
Honesty Masato looks more like his dad then Shinjou ever did, Infact I believe that Shinjou is Tenmas dad, wouldnt pass Orion to kidnapp 4-6 year olds to help with their communist cause.
I just want to see the GO characters again and no don't use them as a plot device, I want Taiyou to be more important to the story then give Nosaka a pep talk
Might as well rename GO as Tenma's Bizzare Adventure with the way OLM, and L5 kept ignoring them
