Interestoreimo’s Kirino Drums Up Voters For Japan Election
posted on
Last year the voting age in Japanese elections was lowered from 20 to 18. To help get out the word and combat widespread voter apathy among the young, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has launched a campaign called “18-sai Senkyo” to drum up voter turnout among 18- and 19-year-olds for this summer’s Upper House elections. Naturally, this involves courting the anime fandom.

The Raimon team was present in the Holy Road Stadium to hear who was selected for Inazuma Japan but Kirino, along with Shinsuke and Nishiki, were really surprised when they heard that they weren’t chosen at all for Inazuma Japan. Despite not being chosen, Kirino decided to watch the match between Inazuma Japan and Teikoku Gakuen and wished Shindou good luck for the match. However, when he saw Inazuma Japan’s plays, he wondered why they were chosen for Inazuma Japan instead of him and was sad to see that this was Inazuma Japan when the match ended with Inazuma Japan’s lose.

In episode 3, he appeared alongside with the Raimon soccer team. They had recovered their memories for soccer again but they didn’t know who Tsurugi Kyousuke was. He agreed to help Tsurugi Yuuichi, Tenma and Fei Rune to bring back soccer and stop the plans of El Dorado.
In episode 6, he got badly injured by Protocol Omega 2.0. He used Deep Mist but failed against Beta. After the match, the whole Raimon team went back to their timeline. When they arrived, Kirino left the team along with the others who don’t have Keshin because they were mind controlled.
He reappeared in episode 18, along with his teammates, after Protocol Omega 2.0 was defeated by Raimon. During soccer practice, he was surprised about Shindou and tried to stop Shindou in his Mixi Max form, but failed because Shindou was too fast. After practice, he was seen having a flashback about him and Shindou in the Raimon second team. The next morning, Kariya said that Kirino was jealous of Shindou. At first, Kirino was reluctant to answer, but afterward, admitted his feelings. After he wasn’t chosen for the eleven members, Kariya offered his place to him, by faking a stomach ache.
