Theories for Otoya’s Upcoming Involvement?
I was thinking about what the significance of Otoya being subbed in vs. France would be plot-wise, other than to simply just help Karasu.
I’ve been theorizing that, through a chemical reaction between the two (and possibly Rin too), they score another goal for Japan. But why Otoya? Because he is constantly being shown as a key partner of Karasu, so by taking one of Karasu’s key “weapons” for himself, Isagi can begin to even up the Isagi vs. Karasu fight and further push Karasu’s buttons. It would even be a direct parallel to Karasu “taking” Barou from him earlier in the game for Japan’s last goal. But that’s just a theory, ofc
Maybe he was just subbed in to talk about his aura and I’m overthinking this because he’s one of my favorites… but I can’t help but think that him being subbed in during a key part of Isagi’s growth during this match may mean something. What are your guys’ thoughts?
