InaLog update! Trucking on into Chapter 11, where Arion and JP's personal character arcs kick into high gear. For the former this means a crisis of faith, as the Holy Emperor is revealed to be the originator of his love for football: what's more, as Victor puts together later, he's also the Japanese national team's missing ace striker.

While the player finds out about this all the way back in Chapter 7 (and if this isn't your first Inazuma Eleven game, you might have caught on even sooner), it's an unwelcome surprise for Raimon FC, several of whom looked up to him as kids...including Victor himself. While he's happy bursting his teammates' bubble, he won't allow anyone to say the same to his older brother.

InaLog update! With Wanli and Houdini's conflict ramping up as Julia Blaze starts snooping around, the second half of Chapter 10 is a busy one for Raimon FC. In the midst of all that, though, some of them still find the time for non-football affairs.

This isn't the first mention of Riccardo's musical extracurricular. In Chapter 5, he cancels his piano lessons so he can focus on practising Thunderbolt; in Chapter 8, he turns down a hangout offer from Hugh (of video games at Eugene's house) so he can prepare for his recital. Between that, schoolwork and the captaincy, it's a wonder the Virtuoso has any free time at all.

InaLog update! With Mirage taken down and the aftermath resolved, that's Chapter 10 complete. While it's not unusual for more gameplay to occur after the chapter boss, it is for it to be noted in one of Arion's story log entries: excluding the post-game, the only occurrence in GO is here, when Julia Blaze arranges for him to meet the Holy Emperor.

As a high school student of unspecified age, there's a good chance she spent at least one year playing Fifth Sector's football. However, despite her open association with Alex Zabel and his closest aide, the Imperials she and Arion scuffle with at the hospital don't recognise her as one of their own. It seems like her brother's been making an effort to keep her out of his current affairs, to mixed success.

Take a sneak peek at the Victory Road beta scripts! Both of them!

Looking for something to do instead of playing football on this fine not-release day? If so, then the Story Mode scripts for Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road's beta test might be up your alley! Collecting tens of thousands of words of dialogue in two variations, these sister documents provide a window back into the discontinued demo with all its highs and lows and typos.

Chrono Stones' Inapedia entries arrive on InaLog!

After some technical shenanigans last week, the Inapedia entries for Inazuma Eleven GO: Chrono Stones have been added to InaLog's appendices! Fifty-seven entries strong, several of which update as the story goes on, this section provides a reference for the new concepts and old history you'll see in the main script.

Not only that, but - as shown above - each entry is written by a member or associate of Raimon Football Club, providing a window into their perspective on how the adventure is going. (With help from some mysterious hackers every now and then.)

Take a look right here!

InaLog update! Thanks to a timely assist from Archer Hawkins, now owner of Rai Rai Noodles, Jude salvages his coaching skills just in time to play Kirkwood. Unlike many other returning characters, his introduction is blunt and unceremonious: no mysterious obscured name like LaChance, no dramatic entry like Aphrodite.

In other news, the Best Match compilation is now complete! All entries can be found at the navigation post here - the next requested series will take a little bit to prepare, so feel free to page through the full set in the meantime.

InaLog update: Victor's having his first taste of being dramatically kidnapped! It won't be the last.

He doesn't resist when Pirates Cove drag him off, since he's been bracing for consequences ever since Almighty Faith. The interesting part is what, exactly, they planned to do: pun aside, "Davy Jones's locker" refers to the seabed, or can be used as an euphemism for death by drowning. In Japanese, the three lines above read as follows.

なみかわ：どうだあ　いい場所だろ。こっからだと町がよく見える。 なみかわ：よーく　目に焼きつけとけ。しばらくは　お天道様を拝めねえかもしれないんだからな。 つるぎ：オレはおまえのムダロにつき合ってるほどヒマじゃない。 さっさとやれ。

Notably, Jones' threat in the second line differs. He says that Victor should burn the town into his memory, since he won't be seeing the sun for some time.
