sae itoshi

Although Sae is irritated by Shido's mannerisms, she recognizes his unique instincts. Itoshi literally creates moments that Shido masterfully finishes. Sae is also cold, calculating, and aloof, a pragmatist. Shido is emotional, loud, and obsessed with "explosions" on the field. This contrast makes their duo unpredictable for opponents. (Shido openly displays affection for Itoshi, often invading his personal space, while Sae maintains her distance but tolerates her partner's antics for the sake of results.)

He masters complex techniques such as the elastico, rabona, Beckenbauer pass (trivel), and backspin pass. His shots are characterized by perfect timing and precision, and he is able to calculate the situation on the field a split second ahead.

A central midfielder and playmaker whose style is so elusive he has been nicknamed 'The Phantom'.

Sae is a ruthless realist. He is ambitious, cool-headed, and incredibly self-confident. He is known for his sharp tongue: he speaks directly, without unnecessary emotion, which can make him appear arrogant or abrupt. In the past, he was more passionate and open, but his experience playing in Spain has greatly strengthened his character.

He is a tall, slender young man with sharp features and sleek, long hair. He often wears formal or casual clothing, preferring a style that emphasizes his independence.
