To Nagi) I'll do all the groundwork and help change this "Zero" into a "One", your job is to change that "One" into a "100". Nagi is an unnaturally talented soccer player with amazing reflexes, good speed, and jumping skills. However, he is a very lazy and unmotivated person. As long as he can get a good job and keep living a lax life, he is fine with doing anything. He initially does not want to put in any effort into football and belittles those who are weak and talentless at the game. He does not even know much about the best football players in the world, much to the chagrin of his competitors. Initially, he is shown as indifferent to playing soccer and becoming the best striker, and would rather play video games or skip training. Crossing: Hiori is able to whip in fast and accurate crosses from the wing position or from a deeper position in midfield. These passes have incredible speed and curvature, being able to fool other players as to their destination. Hiori's crosses are so fast that Isagi was even unable to reach one of his crosses. His best school subject is History and his worst subjects are Politics and Economics because he has no interest whatsoever.

Kage ( 影 ( かげ ) , Kage ?) means "shadow, silhouette, phantom," referring to him being often considered Nagi's shadow. Marseille Turn: After manipulating his opponent into thinking he will perform a regular feint, Rin transitions into a roulette to get around their defense. He thinks his strong point is being optimistic and being able to have fun in any situation. He thinks that his weak point is not worrying about things enough. Vertical Spinning Direct Shot: A direct shot from the corner spot, which targets the furthest top corner of the goal. This shot can take players off-guard if they do not expect it, though it can be prevented through positioning.

Anime is not restricted to a certain genre. It stretches from action to adventure to romance to high school to horror and lots more. In the current scenario, it is the sports oriented ones that are shooting up in popularity, in particular, the soccer/football anime. The offense consist of Rin Itoshi, Yoichi Isagi, Seishiro Nagi, Eita Otoya, and Kenyu Yukimiya. Rin, Nagi, Otoya, and Kenyu act as the main scorers while Isagi takes on more of a playmaker role. He supports the strikers by giving them opportunities as a decoy and expanding their options by expanding his own; all while trying to steal goals for himself. His favorite food is the salt-grilled saury. His disliked food is cotton candy because of it being mainly sugar.

To Isagi) Isagi... I won't be waiting. If you want me, come and steal me. I'll follow the will of my inner monster. [17] To Kaiser) As expected, the world is full of nasty egos. You're the best, Kaiser. I'll crush you~ [28] Creative Midfielder: Creative midfielders are midfield players that are able to create goal-scoring opportunities for the team often in situations where nothing seems likely. They usually have good ball control, passing ability, and movement and will be blessed with vision and on-the-ball intelligence. What makes him different from Isagi is that while he tries to combine his skills with those of his teammates to optimize play strategies, Rin instead manipulates both his teammates and the opponents, trying to take advantage by keeping in mind the strengths and weaknesses of each of them. Rin initially considers Isagi a mediocre player, but in light of the latter’s improvements, he will begin to see him as a formidable rival. Reflex: Despite his levelheadedness and calm playmaking, one of Hiori's greatest strengths is his reflex. He uses his vision to determine the best plays, but it is his reflexive passing that best enacts this vision. When he receives the ball, taking into account the positions of other players on the field, Hiori will immediately pass when an opening presents itself in a dangerous area. He will also pass immediately when given space by his opponent. This makes it difficult to close him down or mark him, as any opening will be exploited by Hiori.Trap Shot: This is his most common skill and he frequently uses it in his matches. Nagi first performs a trap with the ball, whether it is in motion or not. From this point, he kills the velocity and momentum of the ball so he can manipulate the ball and make a pinpoint shot that breaks the defense of the opposing team and scores an effortless point. Positioning: Rin has incredible positioning, constantly moving to areas where he can receive the ball in space and still be able to score a goal. If Rin realizes that he will not receive a pass, he always positions himself in a place where he would be able to score if he should receive the ball by chance. He demonstrated this positioning during the Second Selection, as well as during the U-20 match. Rin also uses this defensively in combination with his spatial awareness. After using his spacing, Rin gives himself enough room to predict where the opponent will likely break through, then uses his positioning to intercept them. Bachira has a rather eccentric demeanor and personality. He is usually very energetic, cheerful, and enthusiastic during matches, rarely losing his cool and will to play, describing soccer as something fun to play with others. Bachira immediately relates to Lavinho, who is also eccentric and energetic, and is inspired by his way of playing football. He has a tendency to sleep in unexpected moments, such as when he was sleeping during the tag test. He mostly oversleeps and ends up relying on Isagi or Kuon to wake him up, and then falls asleep during their team meetings; he's also been known to fall asleep during meals. He also tends to show up completely naked after every training and soccer matches. When the Neo Egoist League starts, Bachira takes his football training more seriously in an effort to become the world-class egoist he imagines himself to be and edge closer to becoming the best in the world. Bachira now actively weight trains and mediates. He doesn't have a favorite subject because he doesn't study. His worst subject is Social Studies because he can't remember any of it.

As seen in chapter 40, during the first selection, he was part of his stratum's team V with his final ranking being 221 st. [9] To Ego, Chapter 108) How lukewarm of you, four-eyes. To me, this match is just another stepping stone to becoming the best in the world. [15] Reo is a very charismatic, sociable, and joyful individual. During his high school days, he had lots of friends, was fairly popular and had many admirers. He was also the top student and participated in many sports. However, he found his life boring because of how easy it was and how he got whatever he wanted, so he decided to carve a path where he would have to fight for what he wanted and prove his existence. He found satisfaction in playing football to obtain the coveted World Cup and would do anything he could to win, like paying and taking care of a natural football prodigy like Nagi to get further in football. Gin Gagamaru · Jyubei Aryu · Ikki Niko · Hyoma Chigiri · Kenyu Yukimiya · Tabito Karasu · Seishiro Nagi · Meguru Bachira · Eita Otoya · Rin Itoshi · Yoichi Isagi His morning routine consists of: standing before the mirror naked, gazing at himself while having a conversation (to himself), getting into the mindset that nothing is impossible, and then smiling while thinking 'this is me'.The collaboration was planned with an aim to increase the number of young people who enjoy playing soccer on a daily basis, and to make soccer a wider and deeper part of Japanese culture. He received Christmas presents from Santa until he was 9 years old, the last thing that he asked for from Santa was 10,000 yen's worth of gacha pulls. His favorite movie is Crayon Shin-chan: Great Adventure in Henderland. He says it was so funny it'll make you bald. Coolheaded Vision: Hiori's vision enables him to envision the best pass to make in any given situation. Hiori constantly looks around himself during a game to assess the positions of the players around him, as well as the situation of the field, so he can both receive the ball in space and pass the ball into space. It is through this vision that he was able to form an almost telepathic link-up with Rin, trading calm passes and avoiding other players. He also considers the positions of his teammates in and around the goal area, before deciding on right pass. His vision enables him to see plays that his opponents do not expect such as his combination with Karasu to get around the U-20. Haru Hayate is a defensive midfielder, a thin guy with blond hair and big brown eyes. An imperturbable expression always appears on his face, almost giving the impression of always being distracted, even in the face of problems he does not seem to care at all. Yo Hiori

Professional Football Technique: Kaiser is regarded as a genius player in the professional world of football. He plays football for one of the best teams in the world as the main striker. His skills are highly respected by teammates, opposing teams, club owners, investors, and even the best striker in the world. His skill and technique is so high level that his team's style of play and philosophy revolve around him and his style of play. Metavision ( 超越視界 ( メタ・ビジョン ) , Meta Bijon ?, Transcendence Sight): A term used to describe a player's evolved vision that gives them an omnipotent perspective of the field. Using his eyes to constantly take in information from his central and peripheral vision, Reo constantly collects data on every player, every play they make, and their positions on the field. Reo uses it subconsciously, the first instance being during the Bastard München vs Manshine City match. When he performs the overturn he manages to land on his feet giving the impression of flying. He is so superb that he doesn’t think his playing skills are the result of talent, but a simple biological factor. He does not feel threatened by the strength of other players, on the contrary, he appreciates players with great skills.Rin makes use of these movements to position himself in an opponent's blind spot, as well as to maneuver into goal scoring positions. He does this after determining the field of view of the players on the pitch, similar to Isagi. Midair Elastico: Bachira can perform the complex elastico dribble, while the ball is in the air, drawing in his opponents to try to steal the ball, before breaking past them. Both the illustrators also gave a special message to the Japanese National team and also words of encouragement to promote soccer in the country.
