EnNatsu

EnNatsu is the het ship between Mark Evans and Nelly Raimon from the Inazuma Eleven fandom.

Inazuma Eleven
Nelly is initially against the Raimon soccer club and is set on disbanding the group. However, after watching a few matches, Nellu sees potential in the team and becomes a manager for the team. She helps and guides Mark several times. It is later revealed in Season 2 that Nelly holds romantic feelings for Mark.

Inazuma Eleven GO
In Inazuma Eleven GO, it is revealed that Nelly and Mark are married.

In episode 18, after an exhausting training session, Mark invites young Arion to his house for dinner. He quickly calls his wife beforehand and asks if she can add another place on the table. Arion's reaction is one of shock, since he was unaware that Mark had a wife. He asks him about it, to which Mark shyly admits that he is married. They both arrive at Mark's house and are greeted by Nelly who introduces herself by her married name Nelly Evans. She has prepared a huge feast for the boys and they start eating. To Arion's surprise, the food tastes horrible. He notices that Mark is also not enjoying the meal. However, Mark tells Arion to continue eating the meal regardless and pretend it tastes good. This is likely so not to hurt his wife's feelings or for Nelly to find out she isn't good at cooking. She brings them even more food after she finds out they are "enjoying" it and eventually Mark and Arion finish the whole meal. Mark also tells Nelly that he met her father earlier in the day. Mark is surprised to hear that Nelly already knows about the Resistance and she apologizes for not telling him. Though, he doesn't seem hurt that he wasn't told.

In episode 24, Mark talks to Nelly about how the true identity of Alex Zable is actually their former friend and teammate Axel Blaze. She comforts her husband and gives him a short pep talk. Afterwards, Mark is given a cooked stewed hamburger by Nelly. Though again, the food tasted horrible and however her husband commended her on it and said it was perfect.

Fanon
EnNatsu is a popular ship within the Inazuma Eleven fandom, and particularly one of the most popular het ships. It is one of the few canon ships in the franchise and therefore has gained attention with fans.

Many people started shipping EnNatsu after Nelly is shown to have feelings for Mark in Season 2. It often rivals EnAki or EnFuyu with many fans debating which manager ship might be endgame. In the Inazuma Eleven GO anime as well as the game Inazuma Eleven GO: Light, it is revealed that Mark ultimately ended up marrying Nelly, making EnNatsu canon (though in the game Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow, Mark ended up marrying Cammy instead, making EnFuyu canon to that game). Many people started shipping it after Episode 18 of Inazuma Eleven GO due to the cute interactions the couple share.
