RanTaku

RanTaku is the slash ship between Gabriel Garcia and Riccardo Di Rigo from the Inazuma Eleven Go fandom.

Inazuma Eleven Go
Riccardo and Gabriel first appears as players on Raimon's main football team. Riccardo is the captain and Gabriel is one of the defenders. They have to defend their role to not be replaced by the Black Templars. Unfortunately, they are losing the match. But Arion Sherwind, a freshman who was beginning his first day at Raimon, arrives on the field, and tries to keep the ball so no one gets hurt.

After the Black Templars attacked Arion, Riccardo tries to convince the newcomer to give up. But the latter says words that give the captain hope. And to everyone's surprise, he ends up awakening his Fighting Spirit, Master Conductor Maestro, for the first time. Being furious, he doesn't listen and tries to confront Victor Blade, the Imperial that came here to replace them all. But the Black Templars (including Victor) all retreat. Riccardo faints shortly after.

Later, Riccardo wakes up in a bed, with Gabriel by his side. He asks what happened. Gabriel tells him. Riccardo tries to go find Victor, but Gabriel stops him, telling him that he's worried about him taking too much pressure.

Later, they are both in the football club. While most players and all the managers leaves, Riccardo has to pretend that he's fine with it.

After the team's coach, Percival Travis, is forced to resign, Riccardo decides to not go to training. Gabriel comes to visit to tell him what is new. He says that their new coach is the legendary Mark Evans, the founder and original captain of Raimon's football club.
