Inazuma Eleven the Movie: The Ultimate Force, Team Ogre, Attacks!

An organisation from the future decides to intervene in the past. Its aim is simple: to beat Endou Mamoru's team. Because if that team wins, football will spread in Japan and the order of the future will change. For this they send a specially trained side. Team Ogre arrives and meets Endou's team. The match is not a normal one; the opposing players use techniques from the future and losing looks impossible for them. Endou has to bring together players from the past and the future. Yoshikazu Miyao directs. Junko Takeuchi voices Endou. The source is Level-5's computer game series. The film is the feature version of the television series of the same name, which reached a wide audience in Japan. It was marketed together with the game series and ticket buyers were given content for the game. What the narrative builds is not football but excess; the players make moves outside the laws of physics and the film takes it seriously. The time travel strand brings a story not told on television and adds a section to the series. It runs short and the narrative gathers around a single match. Its limit is independence; without knowing the series or the game the characters and techniques mean little. Another limit is depth; the narrative is aimed at a young audience and the conflict is simple. Who it is for: followers of the series and viewers who like sports animation. Who it is not for: it is not an entry point, the events are simple, and the shape repeats.
