* AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed. In ''Road to 2002'', he is still shown as a powerful player and a nasty threat, but his Backspin Pass and the rest of his individual technical feats are cut out, leaving him as a stylistically flatter character.

* {{Flanderization}}: When he ceases being captain to his own team, he basically stops being a GeniusBruiser and becomes DumbMuscle, as if the series had forgotten this was only a façade. He even receives the especial dishonor of being one of the few characters who have [[spoiler:scored in his own goal zone]]. However, there are still flashes of his technical side here and there, such as in his famous three-man technique with the Tachibana twins.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: His main character trait (and main strength) during the National Junior Interhigh arc. Jito initially looked like a crude strongman whose only gameplan was bruting his way through the field, but he turned out to be secretly a great tactician and a team player able to match the Golden Duo with his own partner. Hadn't Tsubasa responded with a LetsGetDangerous of his own, Jito's team would have won.

* RedemptionDemotion: After befriending the leads, he goes down from a true nightmare to play against to an only moderately useful support player, even [[spoiler:accidentally self-scoring]] once. Part of this could be chalked up to his smarts atrophyng due to not being a captain anymore and himself often ending up out of tune with his new teammates, but still, the series definitely plays it as if he had always been as much of a moron as he previously looked.
* StrongAndSkilled: He definitely prefers ramming people out of his way rather than dribbling, but he's not ignorant of the most technical aspects of soccer and in fact has a few jaw-dropping tricks up his sleeve.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: ''Almost''. [[spoiler:He ''scores in his own goal zone'' in the WYC match vs. Uruguay, which puts the team in serious risk. He decides to make up for it by pulling a very risky move with Hyuuga's help (and Hyuuga himself is all "are you crazy?!" when Jito asks him for help), [[CrazyEnoughToWork and it works]].]]

* CantCatchUp: While he was no Hyuga or Misugi, in his first appearances he was a talented player and clearly looked cut for much more than the filler teammate he ends up being.

* {{Flanderization}}: After joining the Japanese team, his sole claim to fame is getting dragged to a fight with another brawler. Even worse, in the process he's portrayed as an easily manipulable brat, when his previous appearances had shown him as a decent captain and strategist who simply took things very personally. His not negligible technical side is also progressively de-emphasized.

Even worse, in the process he's portrayed as an easily manipulable brat, when his previous appearances had shown him as a decent captain and strategist who simply took things very too personally. His not negligible technical side is also progressively de-emphasized.



* RedemptionDemotion: Like Jito, he's hit hard by this (even although it's less of a demotion in his case because he remains a violent jerk). Enemy Soda is a true menace and almost an EvilGenius, while Heroic Soda is just an average support player who lacks self-control.

* BigBadWannabe: During his career in the Otomo, he tries to shape itself as the next big rival in the series, complete with a team with [[EvilWearsBlack black uniforms]], overwhelming 4-on-1 tactics and another superb goalie. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't live up his expectatives.

* BigBadWannabe: Very much like Nakanishi, he aspires to be a star goalkeeper like Wakabayashi or Wakashimazu. Actually, he is rather around Nakanishi's level, that is, being better than the average unnamed keeper but not in the league of those two.
