One thing I love about Horimiya is that it never explicitly mentions anything, but we know. Miyamura as a middle schooler was bullied to the extent of him causing himself self harm by piercing his ears. He never says it but we know through Shindou’s relieved looks, through Hori crying when Miyamura wants to repierce his ears. She begs him never to do it again. You know then that they talked about it or at least Hori put two and two together.

Sawada is attached to Miyamura because she lost her brother just the year prior to her meeting the cast. We have no idea how it happened, but we can assume it wasn’t a physical illness.

The manga talks about issues as they are in real life, which really is that most of the time we never talk about them. And people grow closer because they can read in between the lines. It’s the painful things no one wants to talk about because they want to move forward or because the pain is too great.

Let’s talk about

“Shindou Takuto/ Riccardo Di Rigo”

〘Who is he?〙

Shindou Takuto (Riccardo Di Rigo in EU) is one of the main characters in Inazuma Eleven GO.

He's introduced as Raimon's football captain in the GO saga. He starts off with a serious demanour, emotional, frustasted due to the new regulations thanks to SEED (Fifth Sector). As a MD, he's the team's strategist, showing his intelillence and ability to lead the team in a way no other could. Thanks to Tenma (Arion) he rebels agaisnt SEED and starts the rebolution with Tenma, Samguk, Kirino and Shinsuke, later making the whole team follow them.

〘A missundertood character〙

Not gonna lie, I hated this character when I first watched GO. I found him frustating and irrationaly angry with Tenma all the time. Always crying, not letting Tenma help the team. But the older I got, the more I loved him.

Shindou is a great character overall. His anger and frustations where very valid and showed how much he cared about the team. Sure, Tenma wanted to play football, but Shindou was putting the team before his own passion. He didn't want Raimon to close as a pusnishment for not following SEED's orders. It's amazing how the series captures his anger and sadness with the situation. Out of everyone in the team he's the only one that externalise the most his emotions and that's amazing. I love seeing passionate character that not only show positive emotions (like Endou or Tenma), but more realistic reactions like anger, frustation, sadness, annoyance...

The people that call him a crybaby really don't understand his position and should have a double-check.

〘The importance of balance〙

I might be cancelled for this, but Shindou is Raimon's best captain. Yes, over Endou.

Don't get me wrong, I love Endou, but there's something about Shindou that makes him special: his balance.

As I mentioned earlier, he's the character that externalise the most different emotions, from anger to excitement. But he's also a great tactitian, showing how intelligent he's as a player and as a character in general. He's like a Endou mix with Kidou.

He's a smart character that leads the team with realistic expectations.

His struggle about his own perception, what really ment being a captain was amazing. Developed a character that seemed ruthless and broke him to show how great he is. He also knew not everyone would follow him to rebel, he had only 4 players on his side and still lead them to the first victory agaisnt SEED. He also learns about balance while plaing in Chrono Stone. Nobunaga was really a match made in heaven for Shindou. This season also shows more of his determination to save the football. The fact that he was the only Chrono Storm player in the second match of Ragnarok, the captain and lead to the only win in the tournament showed us once again how Shindou manages to analise and come with the best strategies. He brings the best of the team. In Galaxy, he was the realest character. I found Tenma's constant positive actitude annoying and forced, Tsurugi was just...there. But Shindou? The only one that represented us: anger, frustation and annoyance. The way he taught lessons to Ibuki was refressing, he did not showed with the power of friendship, but through actions. Showing the importance of teamwork once again.

〘Ruined by plot〙

Eventhough he's arguably the best character in the whole series, he still was a lil bit ruined.

Not having him as a captain again in Season 2 was a mistake for me. Ruined the opportunity to have a captain different from the emotional support one. Tenma is not a good captain, and as said in Galaxy, I also agree that being captain holds Tenma back.

True that Tenma is an emotional support, but Shindou just leds the team better. He has a very natural leader aura and personality

And eventhough I still loved him in Galaxy, his character was ruined to favor the new ones and was pushed aside (even if he's supossed to be in the main trio).

〘Final thoughts〙

Shindou is one the best Inazuma chatacter with the best development.

The best Raimon captain in the series for me. Showing the importance of passion, motivation with intelligence and realness only the _Virtuoso_ could. A character that struggled seeing his own value as a captain. A character that no matter what, he will always bring the best of the team for the victory.

I love him <3
