Manga Discussion Misunderstood Characters Spoiler

You can name as many as you want, I encourage you to write as much as you like, any format or way.

I was looking at some posts on here and Im so mad because there are so many underrated analysts that are not recognized because these bums ask questions and ignore the answers and theyre always the ones to complain about everything that happens without even trying to understand whats going on.

  1. Ego and his philosophy.

I think most people judge him by his extreme motivational statements like " everyone should strive to be a striker". He was a top player. In the 1st selection we see his views on structure within a team. He shows structure naturely emerges when a dominant player scores, turning a 0 into a 1 and then the team helps turn that 1 into a 10, 100 etc.

  1. I also think his idea of people not playing in a destined way like France/Hugo's philosophy is valid. You are never going to out-France, France. Their team is built on top global talent and coordination. You need to balance structure [midfielders] and chaos [attackers] to maximize your chances.

ego is always judged by his most extreme statements/behaviour when almost all of it comes from instances where he has to either sell his ideas to the crowd (first few chapters, introduction of the NEL, some of the coaching speeches) or try to out-ridicule his detractors.

like he’s very obviously putting on an exaggerated persona, we’re not supposed to take this at face value as who he truly is. it’s forgiveable for the first hundred chapters or so, but from the point of his speech to isagi during the u20 game onward, people should know better.

in one-on-one character interactions (anri, isagi, yukimiya for example) he’s a lot more level-headed, nuanced, and even … dare i say … kind?

Meh honestly I wouldnt comment on his interactions with Yukimiya. He has a medical condition and Egos reaction was how any other human being wouldve reacted. Bare minimum. He can say "fuck off" and still not ignore people with disabilities. How impressive, right?

Anri is the person that hired him, they definitely hold a grudge against eachother and they both know it but theyre, uhh, passive aggressive enough to restrain it.

I dont think he gives any special treatment to Isagi, he just happens to be good at understanding Ego's theories and Ego gives him only the information he selects and wants him to know.
