Discover the best and most memorable episodes of Inazuma Eleven: Ares, from fan favorites to critically acclaimed moments. Explore detailed ratings, episode summaries, and visualize how the show's quality evolved over time.
Ares depicts an alternative canon following the events of the first season of the original Inazuma Eleven anime after their victory in the Football Frontier, with the alien attack from the second season never occurring. When Japanese soccer has been deemed weak compared to international competition, the Raimon Eleven disbanded with its members transferring into different soccer teams across the country to strengthen Japan's soccer at a national level. Furthermore, sponsorship has become a vital aspect in a Japanese youth soccer team's survival as it prevents a team's disbandment while being essential to partake in matches.
The series focuses on the forward Asuto Inamori and his team, Inakuni Raimon, which is made up of players from the remote Inakunijima Island. Needing to maintain their club, they have replaced the original Raimon Eleven as Raimon Junior High's soccer team and compete as underdogs in the annual Football Frontier youth tournament.
The bright and positive Sonny Wright along with his passionate teammates make the difficult decision of leaving their island home to continue their one joy in life; soccer.
