109	[[folder:Michael Kaiser]]
110
111	!! Michael Kaiser
112
113	TheAce of the U-20 Bastard München team and one of the New Generation 11 like Sae. Kaiser becomes highly interested in facing off against Isagi due to what the latter accomplished in the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match.
114	----
115	* TheAce: As the most skilled player of Bastard München, he's the core of the team where the offensive German players feed Kaiser all the passes in order for him to score all the goals. Isagi's overall goal in the Neo EGOIST League is to surpass him.
116	* AbusiveParents: His father treats him like a servant at best and a punching bag at worst, beating him over the slightest mistake, [[spoiler:even nearly choked him to death at one point]] and calling him trash. The trauma still effects Kaiser in the present day, [[spoiler:when every time he's frustrated, he chokes himself in a similar manner as a "punishment".]]
117	* BerserkButton: Being outsmarted and stood up to by those he thinks are lower than him, as Isagi continues to do during their matches in the Neo EGOIST League. At first, he saw it as an annoyance but frequent repeating occurrences of this is wearing down on his patience.
118	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: He wants to be challenged by Isagi and see if the former can usurp his position as the best on the Bastard München team. With every match bringing Isagi closer and closer to him in skill level, Kaiser is now finding this less amusing and more irritating.
119	* BigShutUp: Kaiser brutally shuts down Ness' praise of their second goal during their match with the Italy Ubers, finding the idea of scoring thanks to Isagi creating the opportunity to do so to be repugnant.
120	--> '''Kaiser''': Hey Ness...'''Shut the FUCK up.''' That goal...that you so happily explained with an idiot look on your face, is nothing but a shitty goal. For me to get Lorenzo off me and score...I had no other choice but to resort to that shit tactic.
121	--> '''Ness''': Eh? But, that was an amazing goal...
122	--> '''Kaiser''': What are you, ''fucking stupid?'' '''You think I'll be happy scoring a goal by feeding on Yoichi's scraps like a goddamn hyena?'''
123	* TheBully: Kaiser loves insulting those he thinks are lower than he is and enjoys keeping them down. Noah finds this trait of his annoying and frequently tells him to knock it off. [[spoiler:Having lived in an abusive household, this might contribute to his behavior.]]
124	** He is this even to his loyal followers, with Ness the frequent target of abuse, either grabbing him forcefully by the hair or throwing wine back in his face when Ness gives the wrong answer to his question.
125	* ChallengeSeeker: The reason he participated the Neo EGOIST League and representing as part of Bastard München is out of interest in Isagi and hoping that Isagi can give him a challenge.
126	* ADayInTheLimelight:
127	** During the Neo EGOIST League, the two "Blue Rose and the Magician" chapters focus on {{Backstory}} of when Ness started playing with Kaiser.
128	** His DarkAndTroubledPast is delved into during the Bastard München vs Paris X Gen match (chapters 260 and 261).
129	* EarlyBirdCameo: Kaiser appears in the shot of international figures now interested in the Blue Lock project [[spoiler:after witnessing the end of the U-20 vs. Blue Lock eleven match which ends with Blue Lock's victory]].
130	* DarkAndTroubledPast: A list. Born out of wedlock, MissingMom, left with his abusive father, being blamed for a crime he didn't commit, and his only treasure - a soccer ball bought with his own money as a birthday self-gift is torn in front of his eyes. And at that point his football career had yet to even begin.
131	* DoesNotLikeSpam: Milk, and white-colored drinks in general. They reminds him of his alcoholic father and there was an incident when he was beaten over a carton of milk.
132	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Kaiser's introduction has him successfully kicking Isagi's soccer ball out of the air with his own soccer ball during the "Ball Dribbling & Shoot" obstacle course challenge, which paints a clear picture right away that Kaiser has it out to destroy Isagi.
133	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Only Ness actually likes Kaiser and care about his opinions, despite Kaiser's abuse of him. Everyone else can barely tolerate him due to his bullying behavior; even Noah finds him shitty and insults him when given the opportunity.
134	* {{Jerkass}}: One of the most rudest and foul mouthed characters introduced in this series. His arrogance and air of superiority towards others is a point of conflict for others, especially Isagi.
135	* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: While always carrying a condecensing and SmugSuper air, Kaiser in fact has low self-esteem and constantly seeks validation, having been treated with belittlement in his childhood.
136	* MissingMom: He was born out of wedlock, with his mother left him to keep her status as a superstar clean. A rose is his only TragicKeepsake he has to remember her by.
137	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Kaiser loves doing this to Isagi in order to mess with him, putting his face uncomfortably close to his and intertwining their fingers together to get the latter to look at him. Becomes more uncomfortable when Isagi tries to fight him off but due to Kaiser's physique being way stronger, Isagi is unable to get away.
138	** During the Manshine match, Isagi gloriously reverses this trope on him when the former outsmarts Kaiser and accuses him of being a clown, grabbing Kaiser by his shirt and forcing his face up close with ''his own''. Kaiser, unnerved, calls Isagi [[YoureInsane crazy]].
139	* ThePlan: The main reason that Kaiser agreed to take part in the Neo EGOIST League is to make a big enough name for himself to the point of getting a team of his own rather than just being one of Noel Noah's lackeys on Bastard München.
140	* PowerLevels: Starting from the Neo EGOIST League, power levels are introduced where football club sponsors around the world take part in an auction to bid on and finance the players that take part in Blue Lock. The higher the bid determining who the sponsors consider to be the strongest.
141	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Bastard München vs. F.C. Barcha match, Kaiser starts off with a ¥300,000,000 bid from the current club he plays for (Bastard München).
142	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Bastard München vs. Ubers match, Kaiser's bid is increased to ¥320,000,000.
143	* SirSwearsALot: Part of his VerbalTic. It seems to rub off on Ness as well.
144	* TheRival: He serves as Isagi's biggest rival on Bastard München that Isagi's working to eventually overtake.
145	* SignatureMove: Considered to be a genius amongst football players to the point that everyone respects Kaiser for his professional football technique.
146	** His signature kick at the goal is the "Kaiser Impact," which are quick shots that are hard to see, and can be shot from near impossible angles with perfect accuracy.
147	** Kaiser shares the same "Metavision" skill that Isagi eventually develops, which allows Kaiser to see all that's going on around the football field.
148	* SlasherSmile: When he stops Isagi from achieving his tactics, Kaiser has the biggest shit eating grin on his face, enjoying seeing the latter get frustrated. After the Manshine match, Kaiser voices out loud to Ness that he's going to enjoy crushing and "devouring" Isagi and using him as a step up to boost his own worth to the world.
149	* SmugSuper: Kaiser is very arrogant and antagonistic, and he has the skills to back it all up. Considering that he's part of the New Generation 11, his arrogance towards the Blue Lockers are justified.
150	* TeenGenius: Much like Sae, Kaiser is a skilled football player and a member of the New Generation 11.
151	* TattooedCrook: Less a crook, but a formidable rival and foe, Kaiser has a blue rose tattoo on his neck and left arm.
152	* TranquilFury: When sufficiently angered, Kaiser's demeanor becomes terrifying, with usually a whole page dedicated to showing the fury he's barely keeping contained.
153	* VerbalTic: Adding "[[PrecisionFStrike kuso]]" before or after the end of his sentences, even when they're grammatically incorrect or unnecessary in context. [[spoiler:It's a habit he takes from his father.]]

157	[[folder:Alexis Ness]]
158
159	!!Alexis Ness
160
161	A midfielder of the U-20 Bastard München team who's really loyal to Kaiser.
162	----
163	* BewareTheNiceOnes: He seems like an all around NiceGuy, but he will gladly come to the defense of his German teammates or rather ''one teammate'', such as getting heated towards Isagi due to the latter's rivalry with Kaiser.
164	* BlackSheep: The only one to get obsessed with the concept of "magic" in a family of scientists.
165	* ADayInTheLimelight: During the Neo EGOIST League, the two "Blue Rose and the Magician" chapters focus on {{Backstory}} of when Ness started playing with Kaiser.
166	* TheDragon: He's basically Kaiser's #2 guy, and will go to any length to support him, despite the abuse he suffers from the former.
167	* EvilCounterpart: While calling Ness evil is a bit much, he's a jerk counterpart to Hiori and Kurona when it comes to their passing skills for the person that they're choosing to follow. Hiori and Kurona tend to perform the role of passing support to Isagi, which Ness is the passing support for Kaiser.
168	* FantasyForbiddingFather: Both figuratively and literally. Ness is obssessed with things that cannot be explained by conventional means, calling them "magic" and wants to be a magician who can bring them to reality, but his scientist family shut down his dream and sense of imagination, thinking they are childish and foolish. His siblings even call him "idiot" to his face.
169	* GreenEyedMonster: He hates it when people take Kaiser's attention away from him. During the Neo EGOIST League, Ness grows to hate Isagi due to Kaiser's growing interest in the latter.
170	* PerpetualSmiler: No matter what his current emotion is, Ness is always seen giving off a smile. That starts to go away the more he gets pissed off at Isagi.
171	* PowerLevels: Starting from the Neo EGOIST League, power levels are introduced where football club sponsors around the world take part in an auction to bid on and finance the players that take part in Blue Lock. The higher the bid determining who the sponsors consider to be the strongest.
172	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Bastard München vs. F.C. Barcha match, Ness starts off with a ¥50,000,000 bid from the current club he plays for (Bastard München).
173	* SignatureMove: As the midfielder supporting Kaiser, Ness' passing skills for the former is extremely helpful.
174	* SoreLoser: He tends to break out into endless rants whenever Isagi accomplishes something major.
175	* SophisticatedAsHell: His Japanese dialogue has him [[FormalCharactersUseKeigo using Keigo]] and he is generally mild-mannered to his teammates and rivals alike. However, beneath the veil of politeness are tons of FloweryInsults, and he's also the case of TheNicknamer of the TermsOfEndangerment variety.
176	---> '''Ness:''' (to Niko) Your attack stops here, Mr. Shitty bangs.
177	* UndyingLoyalty: Towards Noel and Kaiser with Ness acting as the main support for them. Ness is usually the one passing to Kaiser, and supports Kaiser in his rivalry with Isagi.

185	A forward of the U-20 Bastard München team.
186	----
187	* DemotedToExtra: During the Neo EGOIST League, Gesner was removed from the starting Bastard München line-up after the first match.
188	* EyesAlwaysShut: Gesner tends to not be seen with his eyes open.
189	* SirSwearsalot: He's known to be the pottymouth, so in order to not cuss as much, Gesner tends to call people "smegmas."

193	[[folder:Benedict Grim]]
194
195	!!Benedict Grim
196
197	A forward of the U-20 Bastard München team.
198	----
199	* {{Expy}}: He's basically the German version of Blue Lock's Jyubei Aryu. Only, instead of "style," he's all about "sadness."
200	* PowerLevels: Starting from the Neo EGOIST League, power levels are introduced where football club sponsors around the world take part in an auction to bid on and finance the players that take part in Blue Lock. The higher the bid determining who the sponsors consider to be the strongest.
201	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Bastard München vs. F.C. Barcha match, Grim starts off with a ¥40,000,000 bid (who bid on Grim is unknown, but given who bid on his teammates, Kaiser and Ness, it was most likely Bastard München).
202	* TooKinkyToTorture: He's a masochist who enjoys sadness.
203	* UndyingLoyalty: As a fellow German player, Grim played throughout the Neo EGOIST League as one of Kaiser's main passing offensive supports alongside Ness.

211	!!Chris Prince
212
213	England's master striker and coach for the Manshine City team.
214	----
215	* AlwaysSecondBest: To Noel Noah. Chris seems obsessed over defeating him, even designing special random shot to counter Noah's rationality-based playstyle.

220	** He's worked to perfect his body to be in the best physical shape possible, which allows Chris to keep up with any player, whether on offense or defense.
221	** His signature kick at the goal is his "Knuckleball" shot, which it's path travels randomly midflight.
222	* SmugSuper: He is the second best striker in the world, after all. Near the end of Bastard München vs. Manshine City match he decides to join the field just to score the winning goal and show off. Moreover, he even arrogantly takes off his shirt and very casually reacts to being shown yellow card for it. He also trashtalks Yukimiya after blocking his gyroshot, calling his effort pathetic.
223

225
226	[[folder:Agi]]
227
228	!!Agi
229
230	A forward of the U-20 Manshine City team. He takes interest in Nagi's talent and decides to help him develop playmaking and creativity.
231	----
232	* TheAce: While he's not one of the New Generation 11, Agi's built up as the strongest player of the England team, which it's clear that he and Kaiser know one another from past matches.
233	* GreenEyedMonster: When Agi decides to stop trying to mentor Nagi after witnessing the Nagi/Reo combo score a goal in the Neo EGOIST League, Reo calls him out as jealous since Nagi chose to continue playing off Reo's passes rather than Nagi develop into his own. That Nagi chose him over Agi.
234	* InUniverseNickname: He's known in the football world as "Doctor" due to his obsession over analysing other players' skills.
235	* MentorArchetype: He attempts to be this for Nagi, but ultimately ditches this idea after seeing that Nagi chose to rely on Reo's passes rather then Nagi developing his own play-style.
236	* RageQuit: He immediately quits trying to mentor Nagi after witnessing the latter continue to rely on Reo's passes as the best method to score goals rather than develop his own play-style. Agi concludes that Nagi is better off having his career watched over by Reo, but Reo figures that Agi's just making an excuse to cover his jealousy of Nagi not choosing him.

255	* InUniverseNickname: He's known in the football world as "The God Sprinter."
256	* NiceGuy: Compared to the other members of the World Five, Julien is friendly to the Blue Lock players when introduced.
257	* NotSoAboveItAll: While is a NiceGuy and carries himself with professionalism, Loki is still a teenager. Some of his moments of childishness shown by his reaction seeing Charles sneaking out of meetings or practice is to kick a soccer ball right at his head, or pouting when some PXG members not listening to him.
258	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Based on Kylian Mbappe, a superstar French soccer player, in both appearance and age.
259	* TeenGenius: Natch, especially when he's part of the French National Football team at 17. This is in contrast to Sae who is still in the second division of the Real Mardrid youth team due to the laws in Spain that minors aren't allowed to seek out a professional contract with soccer clubs until they are of age.

274	* CommonalityConnection: He gets along quite well with Shidou due to their similar wild personas.
275	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In his introduction he quickly proves himself to be a brilliant passer, who holds his team together, and a flexible player overall, who manages to complement two polar opposite playstyles of Rin and Shidou.
276	* TheGadfly: Likes to tease his opponents, especially their expressions hearing his absurd thoughts. He's shown commenting on Isagi's IdiotHair or pinching Hiori's cheek during a match, catching both of them of guards because they're just so random and out of place.
277	* HyperAwareness: Charles' visual senses are high to the point that he's another Metavision user, which allows him to see everything that's going on around the football field.

291	Spain's Brazilian master striker and coach for the F.C. Barcha team.
292	----
293	* DanceBattler: It is basically his playstyle, hence his "The Dancer" moniker. Slightly PlayedWith, as it's actually not him doing the dancing, it's his opponents who fall in ridiculous dance-like fashion when Lavinho outplays them with his dribbling skills.

295	* MentorArchetype: He is this to Bachira, as he advises him to embrace his inner monster to build his own unique playstyle.

315	* RetiredBadass: Not yet, but he considers leaving playing on the field for coaching younger players once he wins Serie A with his team.
316	* SignatureMove: He's TheStrategist amongst the master strikers.
317	** When developing his strategies, Snuffy knows exactly how to set up his football players on the field in order to take advantage of each of his players' signature weapons.
318	** Snuffy also shares the same "Metavision" skill that Isagi eventually develops, which allows Snuffy to see all that's going on around the football field.
319	* TheStrategist: He is "a strategist nut", as Noah calls him, and the one whose job is to create victory strategies for his team.

328	----
329	* DarkAndTroubledPast: He lived a miserable life as a street orphan stealing money from people until Snuffy took him under his wing and introduced to football.
330	* InUniverseNickname: He's known in the football world as "The Ace Eater".
331	* SignatureMove: Has two.
332	** He's got a strong defensive play-style that allows Lorenzo to keep the target he marks locked down. Kaiser could do very little against him 1-on-1, which Lorenzo only gave up a score to Kaiser during a brief moment that he switched to defend against Isagi the moment the latter was about to score.
333	** His "Zombie Dribbling" technique allows Lorenzo to move his body in such an odd way that his offensive dribbling can end up confusing his opponents.
334	* UncannyValley: Definitely invokes it with his skinny body with long thin limbs, sunken eyes, gold teeth and unnatural, borderline creepy movements during the game. Other players even compare him to zombie.
335	* WorfEffect: In the first seconds of Bastard München vs. Ubers match he easily stops Kaiser's surprise attack with one precise move, starting counter-attack shortly after.

346
347	!!Oliver Aiku
348	!!!Manga Debut: Chapter 110
349	!!!Position: Captain and Defender
350	The captain of Japan's U-20 team who acts as the core of the team's powerful 4-man defensive wall. Aiku was once a player aiming to be a great striker who does his own thing, but being forced by his coach to play with the team caused him to grow bored of the sport. Thus, Aiku decides to become the greatest football defender in order to destroy any striker who goes up against him.
351	\
352	In the Neo EGOIST League, Oliver chooses to play for Italy's Ubers team.
353	----
354	* {{Backstory}}: Chapter 134 delves into his backstory. Growing up, Aiku wanted to be a striker that played by his own rules, but his school coach gave him an ultimatum to be a team player or else Aiku will remain on the bench. Aiku complies and goes on to succeed with his team, but it also causes Aiku to become bored of playing football, and he lost his desire to become a striker. As a result of not liking how Japan handles its football strikers, Aiku decides to become the best football defender to destroy the mass-produced incompetent strikers that Japan keeps producing.
355	* BrutalHonesty: His reaction to his team trailing the Blue Lock Eleven 1-2 during halftime
356	--> '''Oliver''' (during halftime): We’re weak. At this rate, we’ll lose to Blue Lock. They’ll steal our places, and we’ll be the ones disappearing.
357	* ButNotTooForeign: Judging from his first name (and the order of his name is given name first, surname second; like in Western names), he seems to be at least half-Japanese. The Q&A twitter trivia confirms that Aiku is half-Swedish.
358	* CombatCompliment: Oliver acknowledges the Blue Lock Eleven’s playing and talent.
359	--> '''Oliver''' (Halfway through the Blue Lock Eleven vs. Japan U-20 game): (about the Blue Lock Eleven) You guys are the best…
360	* ADayInTheLimelight: He gets a lot of moments throughout Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match as the captain and main defender for his team. Chapter 134 specifically revolves around his {{Backstory}} and evolution on the field.
361	* DistinctiveAppearances: The defining feature of Aiku's character design is his heterochromia eyes.
362	* TheDreaded: Alongside his teammates, Kazuma, Miroku, and Teppei, the four of them are known as Japan's powerful defensive wall that is hard to break on the football field.
363	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: During the team meeting for the upcoming match against Blue Lock, Aiku's introduced blocking Shidou from assaulting Sendo any further, which not only shows how powerful he is as the team's Captain, but that he won't take anyone's crap. He also makes it clear to Sae that he, Miroku, Kazuma, and Teppei, will have the former's back as the Defenders, which hypes the 4 of them up as some of the stronger U-20 Japan players that Blue Lock will have to watch out for.
364	* GoalInLife: Aiku originally wanted to be a football striker who does his own thing, but being forced by his coach into playing with his team caused Aiku to grow bored of football. As a result, he switches gears into wanting to be the best football defender just to destroy the mass-produced incompetent strikers that Japan keeps producing.
365	* HiddenDepths: While he may come across a chill guy, he’s not afraid to deploy some may considered to be underhanded tactics to test his team.
366	* HyperAwareness: Similar to Isagi and Niko in a sense that he has strong awareness of what's happening around the soccer field, which allows him to eventually unlock "Metavision." There's hints that he probably already managed to unlock it during the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match, but it's not until he overhears Isagi and Niko talking about it at the Neo EGOIST League that he comes to understand it better.
367	* ItsAllAboutMe: Deep down, Aiku always wanted to be a football striker that goes by his own rules. However, that dream died after his coach forced him to play with his teammates. That drive does start to come back during the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan though.
368	* TheLeader: Captain of the Japan U-20 and is respected by his team.
369	* MissedTheCall: During the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match, Aiku realizes that he probably would have taken part in the Blue Lock project had it just existed a few years ago in his lifetime.
370	* PowerLevels: Starting from the Neo EGOIST League, power levels are introduced where football club sponsors around the world take part in an auction to bid on and finance the players that take part in Blue Lock. The higher the bid determining who the sponsors consider to be the strongest.
371	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Ubers vs. Paris X Gen match, Aiku starts off with a ¥15,000,000 bid from Italy's Bolos.
372	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Ubers vs. F.C. Barcha match, Aiku's bid is increased to ¥27,000,000.
373	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Ubers vs. Bastard München match, Aiku's bid is increased to ¥38,000,000.
374	** Following the Neo EGOIST League's Ubers vs. Manshine City match, Aiku's bid is increased to ¥60,000,000.
375	* {{Revenge}}: In a way, Aiku's goal to become the greatest defender plays into is, because he desires to destroy the football strikers that he wasn't allowed to become.
376	* {{Roadblock}}: After seeing how competent Blue Lock's strikers actually are during the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match, Aiku establishes himself to be the main wall that will defend to his limits to see if Blue Lock is truly capable of passing him and change Japan's football for the better.
377	* TeamSpirit: In his younger years, he was forced to play with his team by his football coach, which caused Aiku to become bored of the sport.
378	* TookALevelInBadass:
379	** He goes through a "flow" evolution during the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match due to facing off against a Blue Lock team that's firing on all cylinders, which pushes Aiku's field observation to its limits.
380	** He's similar to Isagi and Niko in a sense that he has strong awareness of what goes on around the soccer field. Thus, the Neo EGOIST League shows that he's one of few players that managed to unlock "Metavision."
381	* YoungerThanTheyLook: He is actually 19 years old despite his own appearance making him look like he is in his late twenties to early thirties.
382	* WorthyOpponent: He sees the Blue Lock Eleven as this.

399	** Treated as a ButtMonkey all throughout the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match, Sendo finally gets a moment in chapter 141 where he manages to make a big save blocking Bachira's shot at the open goal.
400	** He finally scores a meaningful goal of his own during the Neo EGOIST League by rebounding Barou's blocked kick at the goal to score the game winner in the Ubers vs. Manshine City match.
401	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Is constantly berated by Sae and gets into fights with Ryusei.
402	* ForgettableCharacter: At the beginning of Bastard München vs. Ubers match, it is revealed that the only thing other Blue Lock players remember him by is his past obsession over marrying a gravure idol. Raichi even fails to remember Sendou's name, much to the latter's dismay.
403	* GoalInLife: Sendo's goal in life is to be a star player that scores him a relationship with a beautiful woman. The match against Blue Lock pushes this ego of his further to instead wanting to get with a hot Hollywood actress.
404	* PowerLevels: Starting from the Neo EGOIST League, power levels are introduced where football club sponsors around the world take part in an auction to bid on and finance the players that take part in Blue Lock. The higher the bid determining who the sponsors consider to be the strongest.

554
555	A talented teenage football player who's famous for being one of the New Generation 11, and is the older brother of Rin Itoshi. Sae gained a high reputation as the best current day genius player to come out of Japan, but due to being unimpressed by the state of Japan's mediocre football program, he decided to take his talents to the European league to play with football players much closer to his skills. His goal was originally to be the greatest striker forward, but due to what he experienced in the European League, he now wants to become the greatest midfielder.
556	\
557	Sae eventually returns to Japan one day on account of needing to renew his passport only for Sae to stumble across the JFA holding a press conference regarding Blue Lock, and its intention to push Japan's football further by making a hero that will lead the country to victory. The result is Sae deciding to stick around in Japan to see the results of the Blue Lock project, which he eventually joins up with Japan's U-20 team in order to play against the team put together by Blue Lock.
558	----
559	* TheAce: He's considered to be Japan's best and genius football player, and one of the 11 best up-and-coming players scouted out to play for the European league. Sae's so unimpressed by the state of Japan's football that he would rather continue his life in Spain playing for their team. That all changes when he hears about Japan's Blue Lock project, and decides to stay in Japan for the time being in order to face off against them.
560	* AloofBigBrother: To Rin. [[spoiler:In Rin's flashback of their shared past, this didn't use to be the case, but Sae's CynicismCatalyst strained what close relationship they once had with Sae and eventually distancing himself from Rin altogether.]]
561	* BrokenAce: It's later revealed that [[spoiler:in Rin's flashback of their shared past, Sae's time playing football in Spain completely changed him and gave Sae such a CynicismCatalyst that his goals changed and he has absolutely zero hope in Japan's football scene of being able to improve at all until he learns of the Blue Lock project]].
562	* BigBrotherWorship: Defied. [[spoiler:He despises that Rin ties his growth as a football player to their childhood promise and Rin's own hopes of being the second-best striker under Sae. While he's a class-A jerk about it, it seems that he wants Rin to strive for greatness for his own sake and not to be under his own shadow]].
563	* TheBusCameBack: Early on, Sae only appears in Chapter 4 making it clear that he wants nothing to do with Japan as he would rather play for the much more skilled football teams of other countries. The only reason he returned home to Japan was to renew his passport. However, its within this chapter that his attention is brought to the Blue Lock project when he spots Anri and President Buratsuta holding a press conference regarding the intention of sacrificing up to 300 young forwards in order to make a hero football player for Japan. The announcement impresses Sae enough to stick around to see how the Blue Lock project works out, which has him return down the line playing for Japan's pro U-20 team against the team that Blue Lock put together.
564	* CynicismCatalyst: His time [[spoiler:playing football in Spain changed and destroyed what initial idealism he had about Japanese Football as a whole]].
565	* TheDreaded: Due to being one of the strongest players who took his skills all the way to the European league at such a young age, a lot of players dread having to face him in person. Not that it stops them from trying to outmaneuver him.
566	* GoalInLife: His dream is to become the #1 football player in the world, and to win the Champion League.
567	** After overhearing Anri's press conference about the Blue Lock improvement project, Sae decides to stick around in Japan in order to see what kind of forward Blue Lock will birth within the country.
568	** As seen in Rin's flashback, it turns out that Sae started off as wanting to be the best striker, but due to what he experienced in the European League, he changed up his goal to instead become the greatest midfielder.
569	* JerkassHasAPoint: Sae maybe rude and blunt about how much he believed that Japan's level of Football sucked, but he isn't exactly wrong that Japan as is won't be able to stand against the world level players and [[spoiler:having been TaughtByExperience during his time in Spain that his lone genius and talent alone won't be enough to coast through and be the best in the whole world]].
570	* JerkJock: Generally, he spent a good portion of his time calling potshots and insulting the national Japanese team players. Unlike the common examples of this trope, a lot of Sae's insults comes from his own disappointment at how stagnant the Japanese football scene is. That said, he is ''willing'' to give praise and respect when due such as respecting Shidou's skills [[spoiler:and Isagi's talent]].
571	* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:As soon as he returned from Spain after 4 years, he challenged Rin to a one-on-one when Rin tried to talk Sae out of changing his dreams of being the best striker in the world to the best offensive midfielder, and proceed to utterly destroy Rin and deride Rin's own skills.]]
572	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
573	** Basically says one about Japan as a whole when interviewer Nihei asks him about playing for his home country. Sae makes it clear that playing for Germany is still miles ahead of playing for the 3rd-rate country of Japan as doing so will keep him from achieving his GoalInLife of becoming the best player, and winner of the Champion League. In addition, the players of Japan are so bad that there isn't a single person worthy of taking passes from him.
574	** Sae dishes these out to U-20 Japan's ace player, Sendo, for his incompetent play by making several crucial mistakes as the team's star striker.
575	* SignificantBirthDate: Sae's birthday is October 10th, otherwise written as 10/10. The number 10 is significant as the squad number for attacking midfielders and playmakers as well as being a general short-hand for that position. Indeed, 10 is also Sae's jersey number.
576	* StrongFamilyResemblance: He shares the same unique under-eyelashes and green eyes as his younger brother, Rin Itoshi.
577	* TalentedButTrained: While Sae is indeed a genius in football, his time playing football in the European leagues has him train and hone his own skills as much as possible that by the time Blue Lock started, he is already a famous and powerful football player who is part of the New Generation 11, a group of skilled male soccer players under the age of 20.
578	* TeenGenius: Sae is part of the 11 best and up coming players in the world at age 18 and is playing for the European League. He has shown his genius and skills in soccer at such a young age and makes it a goal to be the best football player in the world and win the world Champion league.
579	* ToBeAMaster: He doesn't just want to win football's Champion League. He wants to be the #1 best player in the world.
580	* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:Rin's flashback reveals that while Sae was still originally rude and blunt to people, he cares a great deal for Rin and has a close relationship with his parents. However, he experienced a CynicismCatalyst over his time playing Football in Spain and changed.]]
581	* WillfullyWeak: At the end of the U-20 match, [[spoiler:Shidou hints that Sae could have easily won the match for the U-20 if he passes at the last minute, but Sae himself is holding back from his usual plays in order to test both the current U-20 roster of Japan and the Blue Lock program players, his brother Rin included.]]
582	* WouldRatherSuffer: When interviewer Nihei asks Sae if he returned to Japan in order to play for Japan's pro football team, Sae answers back that he would rather die.

600	!!!Voiced by: Garret Schecnk (English)
601
602	->''"Our profits are good, so what do we need to change? After all, football is nothing but business."''
603
604	The president of the JFA who's completely satisfied with Japan's pro football team just being good enough to quality for tournaments since only going that far already brings them in lots of money. As a result, he's usually at odds with Ego and Anri since their Blue Lock project is costing the JFA a lot of money just on the off-chance that it will somehow produce football players that end up better than the pros they already have.
605	----
606	* TheAntagonist: The president of the Japan Football Association who doesn’t care about whether Japan wins a world cup so long as he can make a profit.
607	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The dude doesn't care about the sport of football at all. He's only satisfied with the money it brings to him and the JFA, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that he has no interest in making the country's pro football team any better. Not to mention that he takes no issue to throwing the coaches they hire under the bus if they ever get called out for the team struggling. His greed also means that he wants to defund the Blue Lock project due to seeing it as a waste of resources and money.
608	* DiskOneFinalBoss: He is only TheAntagonist for the first 150 chapters focusing on the first phase of the Blue Lock project. As the project now has gained attention internationally [[spoiler:at the end of the U-20 Vs. Blue Lock Eleven match which ends with Blue Lock's victory]], he is no longer able to defund the Blue Lock Project in light of the attention and interest it has now gained globally, and thus, no longer a threat to the Blue Lockers or the Blue Lock facility staff. Though Chapter 210 implies that Buratsuta still holds some leverage over Blue Lock's future thanks to the "promise" Ego gave him to receive financing for BLTV.
609	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Upon meeting him for the first time, Sae Itoshi refers to him "fatso" and continues to disrespect him even when he finds out who he is. Ego and Anri aren't fans of his either. Not even the Blue Lock project participants respect him either when they see his comment about how much Blue Lock is succeeding [[spoiler:after the U-20 match]] and that he is likely sweating buckets on the inside over it now that the program has taken off to world levels and there's nothing he can do to defund it anymore.
610	* FairPlayVillain: Averted. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to defund Blue Lock [[spoiler: even if it means using a Blue Lock athlete to do so]].
611	* FatBastard: If it wasn't already clear that he's a jerk, he's also fat.
612	* {{Foil}}: Towards the JFA's newcomer, Anri. President Buratsuta is completely satisfied with keeping Japan's underperforming pro football team the way it is as it already brings in lots of money for the JFA. Meanwhile, Anri doesn't care about the money, investing it into Blue Lock in order to make a player for Japan that will finally lead them to victory. This of course puts the two of them at odds.
613	* {{Greed}}: Has no interest in making Japan's football team any better as their current state of just being good enough to qualify for tournaments is already making them a really good amount of money. Anri even calls him greedy.
614	* HateSink: Besides being a sexist pig who always ogles Anri, it’s clear that he doesn’t care about Japanese football so long as the JFA can earn a steady profit.
615	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Despite being the president of the JFA, his actual interest in football is pretty much nothing compared to the money it brings him.
616	* OverlyNervousFlopSweat: He'll sometimes break out into this regarding anything that has to do with Blue Lock. Especially when Blue Lock is succeeding.
617	* SmugSmiler: Shows this off a lot. Particularly towards Anri and finding it hard to buy into her desire of bringing Japan a World Cup. After the [[spoiler:Blue Lock Eleven won against the U-20, however, he is forced to take back his initial disdain that Blue Lock is never going to succeed]].

625	The current coach of Japan’s U-20 team and a staunch supporter of the Japanese Football Association.
626	----
627	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: He doesn’t have the respect of football fans online, his boss, his team, or Sae Itoshi.
628	* TheAntagonist: Considering he’s the coach of the team playing against the Blue Lock Eleven and a fervent supporter of the JFA, he's certainly an example of this.
629	* DudeWheresMyRespect: It seems that nobody has respect for Houichi since he’s even mocked online as “Houichi the Earless” for always listening to the JFA.
630	* ExtremeDoormat: [[spoiler:When the Japan U-20 team is trailing 1-2 against the Blue Lock Eleven, he asks Buratsuta what he should do because he is so used to listening to the JFA that he has become incapable of thinking for himself. Burasuta even berates him for this.]]

642	Isagi's teammate when they played together for the Ichinan High School football team. Tomonari ended up missing the goal after Isagi passed to him in the waning minutes of the game against Kira's Matsukaze Kukuo football team, which eventually resulted in Ichinan losing the game.

645	* TheBusCameBack: He makes a brief reappearance after the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match where he stumbles upon Isagi while the Blue Lock players are on break.
646	* InnocentlyInsensitive: During his reunion with Isagi, Tomonari points out how funny it is that all the attention Isagi's now getting is only because Isagi got a lucky "excuse-me goal" at the tail end of the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match. While he doesn't say anything back to Tomonari, it's clear that Isagi found such a claim insulting given everything he experienced in Blue Lock up to that point. He also says that he's also lucky for getting invited to Blue Lock saying that if he was chosen for Blue Lock, maybe he would be the hero of the match, not understanding the hell he had to go through to make it as far as he has.
647	* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: When Tomonari reunites with Isagi after the Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan match, and asks if Isagi remembers him, Isagi is quick to remind Tomonari of that crucial miss in the Ichinan vs. Matsukaze Kukuo match.
648	* SmallRoleBigImpact: As a minor character that was really only around for the first chapter, his miss played a huge part in Isagi's life moving forward as it led to Isagi believing in ItsAllAboutMe rather than TeamSpirit.
649	* TeamSpirit: He's a follower of his coach's "one for all, all for one" team-play mantra.

695	* MundaneUtility: Parodied. Nagi used to deliberately prick his finger on Choki's needles to wake himself up in the morning.
696	* PunnyName: His name is derived from the Japanese onomatopeia ''choki'' which is mostly used for the verb 'cut'.
697	* TalkingToPlants: Mostly due to Choki being Nagi's CompanionCube, Nagi used to have short, one-sided conversations with the little plant.
