just saw a post talking about how important it was for drake to be killed with neil’s heavy racqet so that we would understand the gravity of riko trying to hit neil after the foxes won the final game, because riko also used a heavy racquet. like riko would’ve actually killed neil right there on national television, not just maim or injure, like dead.

The dichotomy of the the Ravens living underground, unable to fly, and the Foxes living on the top floor of Fox Tower, watching over the campus like birds of prey, keeps me awake at night.

Neil went to the Nest in hopes of saving Andrew. In the end it didn’t change anything.

My opinion will not be lenient My opinion, it's real convenient Our words are loud, but now I'm talking action We don't get enough love? Well, they get a fraction They say "How could he go if he's got everything?" I'll mourn for a kid, but won't cry for a king

Yes. Riko was an abuser. Nobody can deny that he hurt, sexually abused and tormented people physically and emotionally.

Yes. Riko was abused. He was hit by Tetsuji when he got things wrong, conditioned to believe that he had to be the best or his life wasn't worth living. He was abandoned by his father because he was second born, ignored by his big brother, and not even congratulated after he tried everything to gain their approval.

Yes. He hurt Jean out of anger. He used Jean as an object because that is all he had ever been to his father and family. He was a way to make money, but his father never saw him as anything more than that. It allowed him to feel powerful and in control of someone when everything else in his life was out of his control.

Yes. He flips after his father dies. Of course, he does. When you've worked your entire life to be acknowledged, spending thousands upon thousands of hours training to win, winning trophies, doing sponsorships, raising great chunks of money for the family, only for your father to die before even showing an ounce of pride for you? Of course, he flips. Jean just happens to be there, someone he knows he can hurt and get away with. Someone less than him at the bottom of the food chain. Perhaps the only person who sees the anger for what it truly is: failure. And Riko doesn't like that.

Yes. He hurt Kevin out of jealousy. Riko grew up in a world where failure was unacceptable. Failure meant pain, death and suffering. Exy was all Riko had and all he ever had. He couldn't stand to be second best because second best is all he had ever been. He would not be second in the one thing he was meant to be the king of. He hurt Kevin out of jealousy, and was beaten to an inch of his life for it.

Yes. He grew up sheltered. Riko was groomed to be a star by Tetsuji. He was groomed and exploited for money by the only person who had ever looked at him and seen something. He lost his mother. His father didn't care about him. He had nobody. He lived underground in the nest for most of his life and played exy every single day for most of his childhood. He probably had no friends his own age until Kevin came along. There was nobody who understood what Riko was going through.

Yes. Riko hurt Andrew. He had Andrew hurt as another power trip. It was to show he had great power and could do what he wanted with it. He had no boundaries. Throughout the series, Riko is shown to be insecure. He craves power and acknowledgement and wants to prove he has a place in the mafia family next to his brother.

Yes. Riko is more complex than a simple villain. He is self-destructive and works to the bone to try and be worth something. He uses anger to cover up his blatant abandonment issues. He is never and will never be enough. And if he can't be enough, then nobody else can. Nobody can take his place.

He is scared of Kevin, frightened of Neil, terrified of Andrew. He is constantly trying to stop his precarious tower from tumbling in the only way he knows how.

If all his mistakes were punished with pain, disappointment and anger, how can he know any different? He doesn't know the world really and hasn't experienced it outside his little box of stardom. He doesn't know what is 'normal.' For him, failing means getting beaten. Failure means losing his status. Failing means falling from power. It always has.

No. Just because Riko was abused and groomed does not mean that his abusive behaviours were justified. He chose to become an abuser, despite everything he had suffered.

No. He wasn't born evil. He is horrible - don't get me wrong - but he shouldn't just be cast off as coming out of the womb with horns and a tail. He was shaped by his experiences, negative and positive. We all are.

Riko thought beating people into submission would show his power and prove his worth to his family. In the end, it resulted in his downfall.

Tsc spoilers

Andreil wrecked me in such a beautiful manner during the course of this book; seeing everything unfold under Jean's observing eye was everything I could have asked for.

Here comes the yapping session for the following situations noticed.

Having someone watch the way Andreil look at each other and act when the other is around has such an intimate level that I understand Jean for not wanting to intervene at any point. “being in each other's gravity” was such a beautiful way of looking at it, because it didn't signal a necessity nor an obligation, like the ravens' partnerships have been

Everything about their relationship screamed choice and even Jean notices it easily; he didn't compare it to Kevin and Andrew's closeness, that had been impacted by the Nest and buddy system. They were there for each other because they wanted to be there, and I imagine that being hard to imagine for the little French man

Furthermore, Jean's perspective on the finals that Foxes vs Ravens went through was so significant. He was watching it from a bird's eye perspective, rendered useless so far away from them and condemned to only watch. He knew no one had time to get to Neil; he knew he was about to die right before his eyes and no one could have stopped Riko from outright live tv murder because even the ravens were too scared to fight him off.

Seeing Jean describe Andrew's intervention as “all hell was at his heels” did something to my heart. Andrew was willing to risk it all for the sassy stricker and nothing was about to stop him, not even the consequences of his own actions, if Ichirou decided to retaliate instead of getting rid of Riko.

If even oblivious Jean could describe it like that, how obvious is Andreil's relationship from the outside, even with them being careful about it? Does everybody see them being tender only with each other? Are they cooing like I am at them? Because we've seen the way they acted at the mountain cabin, but that was before the finals or way premature to Neil being free.

I hold these moments here <3

we know abby has seen some really terrible injuries during her time with the foxes/aftermath of spending time with the ravens so she saw jean and was somewhat prepared, but i can imagine the nurses/doctors/trainers for the trojans being absolutely appalled, driven to drink levels of disturbed by seeing jean’s medical records/x-rays/scars. like i can just imagine the coaches and team staff getting together to compare notes on jean and realizing how far into the deep end they were thrown (they’re all cursing kevin day and wymack, and jeremy a little)

Alright I'm bored so here is a needlessly long analysis of how Riko Moriyama doomed his own narrative.

(full spoilers ahead)

As stated in text: "Kevin only hand the strength to leave because Riko destroyed his hand."(tfc, pg.89). If it hadn't happened, Kevin wouldn't have had the guts to leave, and even if he did, Tetsuji would drag him back. Riko rendering Kevin useless for the Ravens was the only reason he was allowed to walk.

This was crucial for Neil's recruitment to be successful for several reasons. First, Kevin was the one who saw real potential in Neil, deciding to travel to bum fuck nowhere Millport to see him in person. It could be argued that Wymack would sniff Neil's fucked up life all the way from PSU and go anyway, but he would have been alone and Neil would have had the chance to escape.

Second, Kevin gave him an excuse to actually join the Foxes' (unreasonable as it was) and not hit the ground running the moment he had an opening. Ironically, at first Neil was ready to bolt specifically because Kevin was part of the Foxes lineup and hadn't it been for Andrew, he would have succeeded.

Third reason and the part to which the arm braking is arguably most relevant; Andrew Minyard, who is somehow at the center of everything, despise insisting that he doesn't give a single fuck.

Andrew was the main anchor that kept Kevin from running back to Nevermore with his figurative tail between his legs. Because of a pact that warrants a whole second essay, Andrew was dragged to Millport with Kevin. In Neil's own words, "Andrew was only here because Kevin Day never went anywhere alone."(tfc, pg.11) which funnily enough was the reason why he ended up with an exy stick between his ribs three pages earlier.

Andrew stopped Neil from running away and continued (albeit reluctantly at first) to provide support even when Neil was one wrong look in his direction away from performing a vanishing act. He continued to be the glue to hold the narrative together all the way to the end. Even if the beginning went the same way, if Andrew was removed from the equation, the story would inevitably fall apart with either Kevin or Neil running back to their old ways before any development could happen.

All that being said, (and here I circle back to my point) Andrew wouldn't have been at Millport if it weren't for Kevin's broken hand, and Neil wouldn't have joined the Foxes. Only with the golden combination of Neil, Andrew and Kevin could the Foxes stand any chance against the Ravens. The combination that Riko brought together by his own action. His own need to establish superiority, because his daddy didn't love him, inevitably allowed Andrew to perform the Shakespearean final act and hit Riko with all the consequences of his actions in one fatal blow.

And that, ladies, gentlemen, trees and other beings, is the conclusion of this "essay". Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

I was thirteen in 2016 when I discovered All for the game , but since Italian is my first language and I wasn't very skilled yet in English, I used to watch gacha video about it, they were in Russian or in English as well, I couldn't understand anything but I really liked it anyway and I went searching for it but I wasn't very lucky since it was in English, and I wanted to wait for an Italian translation. So in 2020 I was more skilled in English but, read wasn't really my thing but I continued watching it on youtube, and looking at the art. Still waiting and praying for a Italian translation.

And then I continued like this, since the start of the year of 2024, when I looked on Amazon to see if there was an Italian translation, but there isn't unfortunately, i casually woke up and I said "wait a Goddamned minute, I understand and I can read well in English, so i can finally buy it" and then i wait to have a little of money and boom i bought it and in less than 3 days i literally devoured the books. No that this might interest anyone but I wanted to say it hahahah.

Its being insane over Riko Moriyama hours. Guys, he wasn’t even murdered because he was an abuser. The whooole establishing reason for Kevin leaving and kickstarting the Foxes against the Ravens was because Riko was an abusive fuck and they didn’t even kill Riko for that reason. He was killed because as the Ravens lost, Kevin and Jean left, Riko ultimately became a dangerous liability. They killed him because he became worthless to them.

In the end, after all of that, Riko doesnt die as an abuser. He dies because he’s an abused child nobody cares about enough to keep. Again, a pet, a golden goose, nearly a similar thing to what Riko saw Jean and Kevin as, only with the twisted emotions removed.

Riko’s death being ruled a suicide cements it. The coronors were manipulated by the Yakuza. The public know nothing. He was murdered by his older cousin and nobody cared. The true masterminds behind most of it–Kengo, Tetsuji, Ichirou, they get away with it.
