Jinpachi had known he should have expected things would happen once his sibling married into a Yakuza family

but not how things have been going

he did not expect your mother to go into a coma after your birth and for your father to nearly abandon you to be by her side. In short, Jinpachi Ego did not expect to raise his sibling’s child, but here he was, doing it for 17 years, and he’s been doing it well

to get your mind off of the “family business,” he brought you into blue lock as his assistant/spokesperson

he did not expect you to still hate soccer after eight years.

for context, Ego had tried getting you to play soccer starting as far long ago as you can remember. You hated it, so he stopped eventually, thinking you’d get into it someday.

no, you didn’t.

When there are games going, you always look so bored. So, he tries to start conversation

“So.. how do you feel about the players?”

compared to how you used to play, they’re all garbage
