■ About
Story
The Raimon Eleven won a spectacular victory at the Football Frontier, and boys soccer became popular throughout Japan.
Before long, boys soccer adopted an unusual new “Sponsored” system. Since official soccer matches anticipate attracting large crowds, a financial power able to provide a large enough budget is essential.
Schools without a sponsor will become unable to operate a soccer club, and the clubs will be forced to disband.
These soccer-loving boys live on the isolated Inakuni Island, and they are in a crisis of being deprived of soccer.
With their determination, a battle where their fates are all on the line is about to begin!
—The story is set immediately after the original Inazuma Eleven.
Inazuma Eleven takes place in a parallel world. Led by Mamoru Endou, the Raimon Eleven will win the Football Frontier. But after that, a new history different from before will begin!
Three Boys, Each with their Own Story
In Inazuma Eleven Ares, in addition to the protagonist Asuto Inamori (voiced by Ayumu Murase), who is admitted to Raimon Junior High School from Inakuni Junior High School, a passionate youth soccer drama will unfold that also depicts the story from the perspectives of Ryouhei Haizaki (voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya) of rival school Seishou Academy and Yuuma Nosaka (voiced by Jun Fukuyama) of rival school Outei Tsukinomiya Junior High School.
New Soccer System: “Sponsored”
With soccer recently becoming popular, a large budget is required to manage operations. By sponsors providing financial support, they can finely operate everything from the management of large-scale official tournaments to player practice and health care.
Raimon Junior High School’s Sponsor – Island Sightseeing
Seishou Academy’s Sponsor – Kirastar Medicine
Outei Tsukinomiya Junior High School’s Sponsor – Gekko Electronics
Hakuren Junior High School’s Sponsor – Shirousagi Honpo
