lol I think the story of Be Blues is a lot more compelling, but in terms of bullshit football magic, the only difference is that in Captain Tsubasa, EVERYONE has bullshit football magic, and in Be Blues, only like 5 players across the series do In Ao Ashi, no one has bullshit football magic...

No, Ashito is "on the same page", but he's a full-back, he's not supposed to just go on the offense unless an ideal moment appears. He's physically overwhelmed--literally gasping for air--because his vision has let him see just how much there is to cover. Football players don't "sprint" because...

I'm glad we finally got a real sign that Mashiba is going to win. Not sure if he'll win by knockout or win by disqualification with all the people scoring noticing that every single one of this guy's successful shots were fouls, but he's definitely going to win.

Even with his dying breath, he lied to make her feel better. There's no way he was dying of a heart condition, it's too convenient. He's the only character who lies like he breathes specifically to make the world a better place. Still holding out hope that he also just faked his death, because...

Nodoka when every other character uses boob magic for consistent winning combos: wow everyone at the high school level sure is good Nodoka when Saki lands her winning move once: it's that occult shit again!!!

Wow this was still on my reading list on mangaupdates after the 6 chapters fascans did lmao Edit: ALS, wow, my grandma died of that. Luckily it was one of the non-genetic variants (my mom confirmed she doesn't have the genes for it) but god it was tough to watch, I was only 10 when she passed...

Bruh this is by far the most common metaphor throughout all football manga, it's just represented a bit more excessively in Ao Ashi. It's the skill that Ashito himself is being trained to utilize, the eagle eye, to see the pitch from "above" (by making a mental map of everyone around you by...

Crazy how un-aware this guy is. "If you're asking me out, I'm saying no" "oh no actually I was just going to tell you to become my woman" like what does he think words mean?

Hey at least it's better than Saki. I still can't believe I even read the emotional highschool mahjong manga that turned into "magic boob mahjong: the series". It's impossible to even believe that the story was once set up for saki to resolve trauma with her big sister.

Rosario is from Puerto Rico, not Mexico. Puerto Rico is a territory of the US. It could be, he revealed Rosario's signature hairstyle before Toriyama's death so he had to have the match start that way, but he might've had this hair planned since soon after the passing.

Hahah for real I love the call-forwards where they're looking to keep Nisei in the same timeline, as unrealistic as that sounds

Calling yakiniku "Japanese bbq" is a bit of a cultural steamroller. It's really Japanese-style KOREAN bbq. The adaptation from korean bbq to yakiniku is far, FAR less than the adaptation of Chinese lāmiàn to modern Japanese ramen, so I don't think it's at all fair to just declare it to be a...

I really appreciate all the character growth from Kaoru. Back in the childhood arc when he was a budding Yakuza at age 15 he was really silent and socially awkward. Nowadays he's taken to using his words fully as needed at age 20. He's probably better at communicating with words than Baki at...

Lol it's Sendo's way of admitting he's a dumbass compared to Miyata.

It seems possible since he's been built up as that type of character. But if he really does it, I wonder how the match will end. It'd be crazy if this was the first match in the manga where someone wins by disqualification since Mashiba gets knocked out by like an illegal elbow strike or...

In Japan hugging is actually seen as a lot more erotic-adjacent than in the west. Like it's not something friends or siblings literally can't do but it's something where they'd think about the implications and only do it in public if they reeeeally don't care what other people think. The only...

There are 7 pages. People excluding the credits page are forgetting the double-page spread.

When he said "different windows", he doesn't mean "you replaced the windows I broke", he means "these windows are made of a different material than last time". It's pretty clear that the windows were like 6 inches thick of plexiglass. Which is bulletproof glass. Which doesn't just "shatter" and...

Anyone else want Saki to just absolutely demolish the team final in under 10 hands so we can move to the individual tournament with her sister being genuinely impressed?

Thanks for what you scanlated so far, good luck with whatever else you do!
