These are the characters who made us feel all kinds of emotions, from joy to sadness to awe. They are the ones who made Inazuma Eleven such a memorable and beloved series.

The Top Ten

Mark Evans

In my opinion, he is the second-best character, just after Jude. At the beginning, he seems very immature, but throughout the seasons, he becomes more mature and shows seriousness. We all saw him get married to Nelly in Go. He shows a lot of protectiveness towards his most innocent friends, such as Shawn and Xavier, and he is an excellent goalkeeper. Even in all other roles, with just a little training, he's better than most.

Mark Evans is my favorite character out of everything in the whole world. He is brilliant and taught me how to have determination. I personally think he should be number 1, with Axel in second. Mark is clearly the strongest goalkeeper in Inazuma Eleven and simply has the best personality. Just my opinion. Love ya, Mark Evans.
Shawn Froste

He's my favorite. Ever since the beginning, his personality has been shown to be very mysterious, and his issues with his 'other self' made him a very unique and the most interesting character among everyone else. I mean, come on, the entire third season was about him, and his backstory was also very touching, through which he earned a lot of respect from viewers. His character development was shown very naturally when Axel helped him out of his trauma. I was happy for him when he overcame his split personality disorder, but somehow, I still miss the old, hot, and cold Shawn. Don't get me wrong, his shots were really cool, especially Eternal Blizzard. So yeah, Shawn/Fubuki for life.
Erik Eagle

Erik Eagle is the best midfielder in the entire Inazuma Eleven series, according to me. He is known as the midfield magician for a reason. He is the best dribbler in the entire series. The USA could have beaten Inazuma Japan if Erik was there. Sadly, he had an operation. He is the best!

Erik is awesome. His skill is unbelievable. He is the best dribbler. Sadly, his team lost in the FFI because he was not there.

The best player in the Inazuma Eleven series.
Axel Blaze

Axel is insane. From the start of the series to the end, he consistently shows his incredible power and skills. I love him so much. Axel's attitude and skills are the best in the whole series. Shawn is also great, but in every tournament final, Axel is involved in the winning goal.
Even in the movie against Ogre, Axel scored two goals, one of which is the winning goal. At the start of the series, his intro is awesome. Lastly, he is the most powerful and awesome striker. He should be at the top.

For me, Axel Blaze (Gouenji Shuuya) is the best player in the show Inazuma Eleven. Everybody knows that Axel is the greatest striker in Inazuma Eleven. Even though he is weak at defending, he has scored the most goals in the show. He is not only great as a forward, but he is also excellent at controlling the ball, dribbling, assisting, and sportsmanship. Being a good brother also makes him the best player in Inazuma Eleven, because greatness is not determined by skills alone.
Jude Sharp

I think he is the best player in Inazuma Eleven. He is good at everything in soccer except goalkeeping. He is the best game strategist in this anime. He is far greater than the other players when it comes to dribbling and ball control, and he is great at assisting and defending. With this, he is proved to be the greatest player in Inazuma Eleven.

Best character there ever is on this show. If it weren't for Jude, Raimon would have lost in the tournament, as they wouldn't have been able to become in sync again. He deserves to be 1st, not 4th.
Hakuryuu
Kevin Dragonfly

Hot-tempered but great. Once he gets to know people, he becomes incredibly nice and kind.
Natsumi Raimon
Reiji Kageyama

Absolute genius. He creates many players such as Jude Sharp and Fudo. He has a special ability to create players with uniqueness and is a mastermind of the game. Leading Royal Academy and having such a good coach is unpredictable.
Darren LaChance

Darren is a childish one, indeed, but look at his determination! He managed to master God Hand, Majin the Hand, and Mugen the Hand, which Mark couldn't master! He is a little sensitive, as he couldn't bear much when Scotty and the others made fun of him so that he could learn "Fiend Hand." Otherwise, he is a nice young boy with a cheeky voice and good behavior.

Shuu

The Contenders

Asuka Domon
Jack Wallside

He is heavy, good for your defense, bad for your scales.
Tori Vanguard

Amazing girl! Epic tomboy! We share the same personality. "I wanna stay with Raimon! Mark and the others are gonna beat them, and I feel like they're the only ones doing anything at all!"
Nathan Swift

He's my favorite character. He's kind, competitive, and really cares about his friends. For example, when he left the athletics club to help Mark, it showed his caring nature. He's really cool, the fastest on the team, and his moves are awesome. However, he's insecure and gets overwhelmed under too much pressure. I cried when I first watched the episode where he left the team years ago. I could keep talking for hours about how and why I love him, but I'll stop here.

He was originally from the athletics club but quickly learned and developed his soccer skills. He's been with Raimon from the beginning and was more dedicated to the soccer club than several of the original seven members.
Byron Love

Genuinely one of the most subtly compelling characters in the series. We see him go from a quite literally god-like final boss to an ally on the path to redemption, to a friendly rival who (let's be real) could have beaten Inazuma Japan, to an adult playing the role of a hero to the Kirkwood students.
Then, in the Ares timeline, we see his struggles to redeem himself in his own eyes before getting the spot in Inazuma Japan he deserves. Any scene with him in it is always memorable. On top of this, he has a brilliant design and moves to match his spectacle (Heaven's Time, God Knows Impact, Chaos Break, and Air on G String to name a few). Besides, the Greek mythology influences make him even more unique among his teammates outside of Zeus.
Hyouga Yukimura

Just look, he gained 1% of the votes. He probably needed to be on the Raimon team.
Takuto Shindou

Although he did cry a lot, I feel he is a great leader and also a great musician!
Jirou Sakuma
Ranmaru Kirino
Arion Sherwind

Tenma is the best character in Inazuma Eleven and also one of the best characters in anime history. His passion for soccer is as profound as his love for music. As you know, music is the most divine of all arts. It can't be explained or needs to be understood. Tenma's love for soccer is simply experienced, and his feelings are his own, with complete freedom. No wonder Pegasus evolves in every match. Saying he's like a god is not an exaggeration. He just plays with a soccer ball in every series, and there's no question that he's the best player in Inazuma Eleven if you watch his ending moment.

A simple boy with an innocent love for football. He may not be as skilled or powerful as others, but his sheer love for the game allows him to hold his own. He never doubts anyone and can cheer others on, helping them find the right path with his healing words.
Also mentioned as a Second Stage Child, he has the potential to overwhelm anyone in soccer with his indomitable will. He is simply a perfect character.
Xavier Hunter

Xavier loved his father, Mr. Schiller, and hurt himself to save him, although Schiller was just using him for his plan and had no affection towards him as a son. This shows what a nice kid he was. Despite this, he is good friends with Mark and others and supports his team members well. He has a nice personality and is one of my favorites.

He is out of the Top 5, but he's a good character. His shots are powerful, and he is very innocent and friendly. But at 13/14, he still needs his big sister to protect and defend him (not a bad thing, but strange).
Fidio Ardena

Even though he hasn't had much screen time, I think it's safe to say that he's pretty similar to Endou. He's passionate about soccer, full of hope, friendly (even to his enemies and rivals), able to see the light in everyone, and I doubt he'll ever have enough of playing his most beloved sport.
To think that he can balance being a strong forward and a captain - that's no easy job, honestly. He brings hope to his teammates when they've lost theirs. For example, when the rest of the team had lost their spirit because "Mr. K" was not being a "real coach," he was the one who made a result-determining decision to trust Kageyama, which then led his team to work in harmony like gears in a machine.
Or maybe the time when they were no longer able to continue the FFI, and his team was feeling hopeless - he still saw light and knew they could still do something. And you've got to admit, he's charming and lovable.
Munemasa Ibuki

Coolest goalkeeper ever. Mark may be a main character, but Ibuki has the coolest goalkeeping techniques.

Great character, amazing techniques, and badass design. Pretty much what Endou should have been.

He is the coolest goalkeeper ever. He is the strongest goalkeeper ever, except for Mark, Rococo, and Darren.
Fei Rune

He reminds me of a cute little bunny who sometimes shows you a tough side.

He is like a stuffed toy. I want to squish him.

I like the character development.
