An English dub of the series produced by SDI Media began airing on Disney XD on April 13, 2019, replacing Yo-kai Watch, another anime based on a Level-5 video game series[1] by the same dubbing company. This is the third Inazuma Eleven series to receive an English dub after the original series and Inazuma Eleven GO.
Ares depicts an alternative canon following the events of the first season of the original Inazuma Eleven animeafter their victory in the Football Frontier, with the alien attack from the second season never occurring. When Japanese soccer has been deemed weak compared to international competition, the Raimon Eleven disband with its members transferring into different soccer teams across the country to strengthen Japan's soccer at a national level. Furthermore, sponsorship has become a vital aspect in a Japanese youth soccer team's survival, as it prevents a team's disbandment, while being essential to partake in matches.
The series focuses on the forward Asuto Inamori and his team, Inakuni Raimon, which is made up of players from the remote Inakunijima Island. Needing to maintain their club, they have replaced the original Raimon Eleven as Raimon Junior High's soccer team and compete as underdogs in the annual Football Frontier youth tournament. The team faces multiples challenges throughout their journey but manages to win the tournament.
