My rant about in between friends cause.
Now,it isn’t exactly stated in this episode when Tiger had left Nakama.But in episode one he was playing against them..and in rookie season he was already there before Shakes,meaning that it was years ago.So Giri WHAT are you doing??? If Tiger left years ago why would he gaf? Why would NAKAMA gaf??
If this episode was a time skip during Tiger’s first months at Supa strikas then maybe that part would make sense but nooo because then we wouldn’t get Shakes and everyone loves him!
And this also brings the point of Tiger mentioning he is “playing with an old friend”,as if you weren’t in the first episode??? You’re telling me y'all haven’t been in contact since you left YEARS AGO? Exactly why this should’ve been a timeskip!
We also got too many scenes with Supa strikas,like this isn’t even centered around the team as a whole.
Anytime Nakama was on screen it was just some racist bullshit anyways which is..not it.
We could’ve had a scene where Miko was talking about playing with Tiger the same way Tiger was talking about playing with Miko, this episode could’ve been wayyy more emotional because just imagine, your best friend leaving your team for another one? That puts a strain on the relationship especially if you haven’t talked after (I’m just going to assume they haven’t)
Mind you they were in the hospital together and we couldn’t even have a heartfelt ending.And we didn’t even get other Nakama members' opinions about Tiger,yeah yeah maybe they couldn’t find voice actors but they could’ve at least tried and I swear they reused Miko’s voice actor for “No “El” in team” so they could’ve done it again.
Speaking of the ending it’s also complete shit,what do you mean a tape fixed their relationship? El Matador just had to make a way to make it about himself..gay ass…And there is genuinely always a way for Shakes to fix a problem in this show which is predictable,this ain’t even about them! I get he’s the main character but if you make an episode centered around another character the main character shouldn’t have the screen time they usually do.
Miko realizing Giri was lying is good but that wouldn’t fix him and Tiger’s friendship..it would just let him know he isn’t a traitor,Spenza’s fat ass had no business being in this ep either,and Tiger could’ve fixed it himself.It doesn’t help that in the end that Miko doesn’t tell Tiger his feelings or how he felt after his friend left,or how Tiger did miss Miko while being away.instead we got Tiger talking about some-
“I am home”
…we could’ve done better than that c’mon.But also why would Miko say that after Giri just turned Nakama against him? Lazy ass writing.Yeah the writing in the first season of SS wasn’t the best but this episode still sucks and would’ve been better for rookie season.
But I won’t ask them to redo it because they’ll just use AI anyway!
Anyway thanks for reading my rant bc this show lowk ahh 🥺✌🏾
