Story

Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin takes place after the events of the first game in a parallel world where the aliens never attacked and features many changes including Fubuki Atsuya and Kira Hiroto still being alive. Set some time after Raimon won the Football Frontier, all the original Raimon players have been split throughout teams in Japan to act as a “reinforcement committee” since they’re too young to coach. The story focuses on three characters from different schools: Asuto Inamori from Inakuni Raimon, Ryohei Haizaki from Seisho Gakuen, and Yuma Nosaka from Outei Tsukinomiya.
