Info
It was used for the first time during the match between Navy Invader and Star Unicorn when they challenged American team for the representative seat. Finally Navy Invader beat them badly and replaced them in the Football Frontier International tournament.
It was used again during the match against Inazuma Japan. After tactic was initiated Fudou Akio rushed through the field and was immediately hit by the explosion of mine. Later Navy Invader's players lured Hiura Kirina and Sakanoue Noboru into the ambush, pushing them violently directly through the minefield. As a result, Inazuma Japan had to replace three players due to the serious injuries they got. According to Nosaka Yuuma’s words, Navy Invader seemingly made random moves when they initiated Jiraigen. In fact they were crushing the wind running against each other and created later small tornadoes. As Aphrodi explained since these tornadoes hovered over the field, they didn’t absorb sand or soil, so they were invisible to human’s eyes. To deactivate the fake mines, Aphrodi used Heaven's Time again and the tornadoes sucked in the dust, finally becoming visible. Later Aphrodi, Nosaka, Inamori Asuto and Ichihoshi Hikaru were kicking the ball directly into these whirls and removed them from the field.
It was later used by Inazuma Japan against Brazil, but instead of injuring the player and exploding when it the mine is stepped on, it instead created a distraction, which resulted in Kira Hiroto stealing the ball from Arthur.
Usage
The move starts with the entire team (excluding goalie) kneeing down next to each other, with one player in the front initiating a hand signal to begin the tactic. Three players dash through their own space, creating a trail of wind, with another player jumping on the space, compacting the wind. The other players roll over the field until the entire team, forms a 2-2-2-2-2 line formation, leaving an open space at the center on the field. The open space is actually composed of miniature tornadoes that are invisible, because they hover over the field, only appearing if there is an obstruction on the field. If an opponent steps or collides with the invisible tornadoes, it creates an explosion that sends the player flying back, injuring them.
