BLUE UNLOCK

The Birth of the Corporate Striker: Jinpachi Ego's fundamental purpose in founding the university is not educational, but revolutionary and Darwinian. Blue Unlock is a filter designed to solve what he considers the "disease of modern professionalism." Destroying collective mediocrity: Ego argues that traditional universities and ordinary business schools suffer from a fatal flaw: they teach young people to be "good employees," to fit into a machine, and to work submissively in teams. For him, this only produces replaceable professionals who dilute their talent so as not to upset the group. Mapping "Professional Egoism": The institution's purpose is to isolate students from the outside world to subject them to extreme artificial pressure (impossible deadlines, real-time bankruptcy simulations, loss of funding). Under this stress, students are forced to abandon civility and use their true raw talent to survive. Creating the Absolute Leader: Ego's ultimate goal is to eradicate the average professional and give birth to a single Corporate Striker: an individual with such a massive ego, such clairvoyant vision, and such absolute coldness that they can stand on any board of directors in the world, ignore consensus, make life-or-death decisions, and drag the entire global economy into a new era thanks to their individual obsession. For Ego, human progress has never been democratic; it has always been the result of the whim of a selfish genius.

The Creator's Neurosis: Ego views the external professional world as a vast chessboard filled with flawed pieces operating under the guise of the "common good." His ego thrives on the power of taking an average young student, systematically destroying their entire moral framework, their sense of camaraderie, and their certainties, and then observing the precise moment that mind cracks and awakens a pure, individualistic obsession. The Ecstasy of Manipulation: The climax of his ego occurs in the darkness of his office, in front of the LED screens. Watching a student from Room Z (like Isagi) "devour" a classmate's idea and transform into a ruthless corporate monster is what validates his own existence. His ego is that of a laboratory god: he doesn't compete in the marketplace, but rather redefines the rules of the market itself through the minds he has molded. His satisfaction is internal and arrogant: "The future of the global economy is being rewritten exactly as I planned."

Ego Jinpachi (Director and Founder of Blue Unlock)
Background: In his youth, Ego was a brilliant student and a revolutionary corporate strategist destined to lead global markets. However, after suffering a profound existential crisis and completely losing his passion for traditional curricula—which he considered factories for subservient and mediocre employees—he decided to disappear from the business world. For years, he dedicated himself to researching the psychology behind success and discovered that the driving force behind every great invention, company, or revolution in history was not cooperation, but unfiltered "professional ego." With this revelation, he founded Blue Unlock University to mold the leaders of the future from scratch according to his own destructive doctrine.
Personality: He is cynical, calculating, severe, and completely indifferent to social conventions or empathy. He speaks in a monotone, slurring tone, but with a surgical precision that shatters the confidence of any ordinary student. His mind operates like a supercomputer dedicated to analyzing human behavior and hidden potential. He despises academic romanticism and false modesty; to him, students are "raw materials" to be broken and rebuilt under the pressure of the market. He spends entire nights without sleep, subsisting on instant noodles while monitoring campus performance.
Attire: He has a disheveled and somewhat eccentric appearance that contrasts sharply with the formality of his position. He wears a completely black, high-collared, slim-fit suit, without a tie. His black hair is cut with perfectly straight bangs, and he wears thick-framed, round glasses that accentuate the intensity of his inquisitive gaze. He always has a digital tablet or a master control in his hand, which he uses to manipulate the university's lights and screens.

Background: Despite possessing one of the most powerful analytical minds and the greatest capacity for retaining empirical data in the entire university, Tokimitsu suffers from severe pathological insecurity. He entered Blue Unlock convinced he would be expelled within the first week due to his constant panic during midterm exams. Ego Jinpachi discovered that Tokimitsu's brain processes databases and risk analyses at superhuman speed precisely when he experiences massive anxiety attacks, using fear as absolute mental fuel to avoid making a single mistake.
Personality: He is extremely timid, shy, prone to nail-biting, and constantly apologizes in an exaggerated manner to all his fellow students on campus. He tends to audibly panic at any unexpected change in assessment rubrics. However, if cornered corporately, he displays an encyclopedic capacity for argumentation that crushes any debate. Attire: He wears his university blazer buttoned tightly, which accentuates his nervously hunched posture. He always carries multiple notebooks saturated with meticulous notes and uses an inhaler or handkerchief to wipe away the constant perspiration caused by daily academic stress. Ego: The Panic Analyst. His ego awakens when the pressure of a simulated corporate bankruptcy reaches its limit. He enjoys memorizing and processing massive volumes of macroeconomic data under extreme crises, demonstrating that his fear-driven intellect is capable of structuring solutions that calm leaders could never formulate.

Background: Obsessed with the concept of elegance and avant-garde aesthetics, Aryu joined Blue Unlock rejecting the rustic and dull management methods of traditional schools. For him, a corporation should not only generate profits but also possess absolute "glamour" in every one of its business moves. He specialized in developing luxury brands and high-end positioning strategies, asserting that the true success of a business lies in its ability to appear aesthetically superior and unattainable to the common competition in the market.
Personality: He is extremely vain, dramatic, and refined, constantly using the word "glam" to evaluate the quality of other people's projects. He despises Raichi's operational clumsiness or the lack of style in Barou's ordinary numerical balance sheets. He possesses immense pride based on his physique and his high-fashion corporate design standards.
Attire: A modified university suit with satin fabrics and silk lapels. Her very long, dark hair is perfectly groomed, and she often runs her hands through it during lectures. She wears sophisticated designer accessories and carries her project folders in imported fine leather cases.
Ego: The Corporate Aesthete. His ego is activated when presenting market proposals with such a sophisticated and elegant level of visual design that it reduces his rivals' technical projects to the category of ordinary garbage, demonstrating that true business power lies in absolute style.

Background: Kiyora spent much of the early stages of Blue Unlock maintaining a very low profile, observing the corporate power struggles between Isagi, Kaiser, and Kunigami. His background lies in commercial distribution companies where last-minute decisions determine the annual success or failure of an investment. His unique ability is to maintain absolute and detached neutrality until the precise moment a definitive commercial verdict is required, becoming the deciding factor in which projects are approved.
Personality: He is enigmatic, taciturn, imperturbable, and possesses absolute business acumen. He is not swayed by emotional speeches or pressure from arrogant leaders. He evaluates proposals based solely on the ultimate pragmatic benefit, making him an unpredictable and highly sought-after ally in the later stages of university life.
Attire: The official Blue Unlock uniform, worn with absolute neatness and minimalism. His dark hair is styled with shaved sides and a swept-back fringe. His desk is always free of unnecessary papers; he uses only an executive signature pen and a folder containing the closing balance sheet.
Ego: The Closing Decision Maker. His ego ignites when he's placed in the critical position where his vote or business decision determines the success of a multi-million dollar proposal. He relishes demonstrating that great strategists depend entirely on his final, cold approval to solidify their market empires.

Background: Kurona always excelled in consulting for small and medium-sized businesses, where a continuous flow of ideas and immediate assistance are vital. Upon joining Blue Unlock, she quickly understood that to survive in Ego Jinpachi's system without being an absolute individualistic genius like Rin, she had to become the perfect operational partner. She developed a project advisory system that perfectly complements Isagi Yoichi's Metavision, allowing them to move forward together and dismantle rival teams' proposals through rapid analytical combinations.
Personality: He is an extremely cooperative, loyal, and focused student with a rather peculiar way of speaking, repeating key words to emphasize his business analyses. He possesses constant energy and a tireless work pace that allows him to keep up with the fastest strategists on campus, earning Isagi's complete trust.
Attire: A well-tailored university blazer and a distinctive pink braid that falls to one side of his face. He always carries fast wireless communication devices to instantly transfer budget and projection data to Isagi during group exams.
Ego: The Project Catalyst. His ego awakens when he becomes the indispensable operational piece that powers a massive business idea. He enjoys demonstrating that even the most complex market strategies would completely collapse without his flawless fluency and real-time technical support capabilities.

Background: Gifted with an innate mathematical calculation speed that allows him to process changes in interest rates and currency devaluations in milliseconds, Zantetsu entered Blue Unlock under the tutelage of Reo Mikage. Zantetsu's problem is his extremely low level of verbal comprehension and general knowledge; he often misuses complex words and is easily tricked in theoretical debates. However, Reo discovered that when presented with purely numerical financial data, Zantetsu's brain reacts faster than any commercial computer on campus.
Personality: He tries to act intellectual, serious, and sophisticated to mask his lack of verbal academic wit, earning him the nickname "complete idiot" from Barou. Despite this, he has unwavering confidence in his numerical speed and is an extremely useful financial executor if given direct and concise instructions.
Attire: He wears the Blue Unlock regulation suit very formally, pairing it with thick, non-prescription glasses that he wears solely to try and appear intelligent to the professors. He always carries a high-end financial calculator, held firmly in his right hand.
Ego: The Speed ​​Calculator. His ego is triggered by solving devaluation crises in stock market simulators in seconds. He enjoys stunning intellectual students by delivering perfect macroeconomic mathematical answers long before they finish analyzing the theory behind the problem.

Background: Considered one of the youngest but brightest students in the computer science faculty, Niko joined Blue Unlock after designing a hack prevention system for a local company in his teens. His mind works by analyzing the worst possible financial tragedies before they happen. Ego Jinpachi saw in him the perfect opposite of Isagi Yoichi: while Isagi uses his Metavision to find attack opportunities in the market, Niko uses it to protect companies and neutralize computer viruses or fraud from the competition.
Personality: He is quiet, reserved, highly observant, and prefers to remain in the background during group dynamics. He has no interest in the limelight. However, he possesses immense intellectual pride and develops an intense analytical rivalry with Isagi, seeking to prove that his ability to prevent problems is superior to any strategic attack.
Clothing: His university blazer is a bit loose on him. His most distinctive feature is his long, dark fringe that completely covers his eyes, forcing him to lean over his computer screens. He always carries external hard drives and digital encryption tools.
Ego: The Data Sentinel. His ego awakens when he manages to predict and completely block a financial fraud attack or data breach designed by a rival genius, proving that no corporate idea can prosper if he decides to close the digital doors of the system.

Story: Balancing his successful life as a professional model with his university studies, Yukimiya joined Blue Unlock to prove that charisma and visual appeal are absolute tools of corporate power. He designed a franchise system based on the consumer's blind trust in his public image. However, he suffers from a secret degenerative eye disease that threatens to ruin his ability to analyze reports and markets in the future, leading him to a desperate rush to consolidate his business empire before he loses his sight completely.
Personality: He is chivalrous, charismatic, eloquent, and possesses an impeccable kindness that disarms even the toughest investors. He firmly believes that business is won by captivating the public. However, beneath this perfect facade lies an unyielding pride and a deep fear of vulnerability, which leads him to compete fiercely against Isagi.
Attire: A flawlessly tailored Blue Unlock suit, a designer silk pocket square, and high-end reading glasses that ease eye strain. His physical presence in the classroom exudes the aura of an established CEO before graduation.
Ego: The Image Monarch. His ego is activated by winning a multi-million dollar investment round based solely on his charisma and the impeccable visual presentation of his project, demonstrating that the consumer buys the illusion of perfection rather than the coldness of mathematical data.

Background: Descended from a family with a history of espionage and behavioral analysis, Otoya applied these concepts to the modern business environment. He joined Blue Unlock with the unique ability to launch products to market without the competition noticing until it's too late. His specialty is "guerrilla marketing" and invisible campaigns that seep into the consumer's subconscious, quietly positioning entire brands while traditional corporations spend millions on noisy advertising.
Personality: He is extremely laid-back, phlegmatic, sociable, and seems to take nothing seriously. He's the classic college student who never seems to be studying but always gets top marks due to his sharp mind. He works in perfect sync with Karasu, complementing his partner's data analysis with his stealthy execution in the market.
Attire: Official university suit worn in a very modern and baggy style. Her hair has streaks dyed bright green, and she usually wears headphones around her neck. She always carries an ultra-thin tablet where she monitors viral social media trends in real time.
Ego: The Shadow of the Market. Their ego ignites when they manage to infiltrate a new product or service into a competitive niche without making a sound, dethroning the current leaders in the sector before they can devise a defense strategy or advertising counterattack.

Background: From a young age, he discovered that information is the world's most valuable asset. Karasu specialized in analyzing the weaknesses of other people's organizational structures. He joined Blue Unlock knowing that companies don't fall due to the strength of their rivals, but rather due to their own internal flaws. He earned a fearsome reputation by legally hacking into public databases and professional profiles to uncover the financial secrets or operational errors of the university's brightest students, using them to his advantage on exams.
Personality: He is analytical, cynical, calculating, and possesses a rather acerbic sense of humor. He enjoys calling those who don't protect their intangible assets "crows" or "mediocre." In group discussions, he doesn't propose any groundbreaking, innovative ideas; he focuses exclusively on harassing the weakest link on the opposing team until they collapse under psychological pressure.
Attire: He wears the Blue Unlock uniform in a casual but neat manner, with his jacket half-open and his hands always in his trouser pockets. His dark hair has long bangs, and he usually wears anti-glare glasses to analyze the screens of his computers where he gathers massive amounts of data on the competition.
Ego: The Weak Link Killer. His ego awakens when he identifies the exact financial vulnerability or strategic flaw in a rival's organizational chart. He relentlessly presses that critical point until the opponent's entire proposal completely collapses under scrutiny.

Background: Considered the most dangerous and violent student on campus, Shidou doesn't see the corporate world as a structure of laws, but rather as a biological ecosystem where the big fish devours the little fish for sheer instinctive pleasure. He was expelled from three business high schools for verbally assaulting executives during mock board meetings. Ego Jinpachi personally recruited him for Blue Unlock after noticing his uncanny talent for executing hostile corporate takeovers and dismantling rival boards of directors in a matter of seconds, regardless of ethical repercussions or government market regulations.
Personality: He is sadistic, impulsive, egocentric, and extremely volatile. He speaks of business success in terms of "explosions" and "reproduction." He despises Isagi's meticulous planning and Rin's mathematical control. For Shidou, a business is perfect only if it causes the absolute destruction of the competitor, which generates constant friction in group projects.
Attire: He wears his university blazer draped over one shoulder, his shirt completely unbuttoned, revealing his chest, and altered trousers in a rebellious, urban style. His hair is bleached with pink tips, and he often wears ostentatious gold earrings, breaking all the rules of formal, corporate dress code at the faculty.
Ego: The Corporate Alpha Predator. His ego is activated by entering a market simulation and bankrupting rival companies through aggressive panic buying. His absolute pleasure is seeing the faces of despair on opposing executives' faces when they realize he has taken complete control of their stock.

Background: The son of a local Buddhist temple owner, Igarashi enrolled at the demanding Blue Unlock University, fleeing his family's obligation to become a monk for the rest of his life. Lacking brilliant intellectual talent or innate strategic skills like Isagi or Rin, Gurimu is well aware that he is the student with the worst GPA in the faculty and is in constant danger of being expelled from the Ultimate Program by Director Ego Jinpachi.
Personality: He is loud, timid, opportunistic, and prone to complaining about the difficulty of practical projects. However, he possesses a comical tenacity and undeniable street smarts for academic survival. He is not ashamed to team up with the brightest students to secure a passing grade or to use ethically dubious tricks within the legal framework.
Attire: Blue Unlock's uniform is slightly too big for him, which accentuates his lanky appearance. He has a monastic-style buzz cut and usually carries a good luck charm attached to his notebook. He is always seen with an expression of either utter panic or exaggerated relief after grades are handed out.
Ego: The System Survivor. His ego awakens when he manages to find a regulatory loophole or a hidden clause in the evaluation rubrics to save himself from permanent expulsion, ensuring that deficient projects barely pass while he watches competitors who thought themselves superior to him fall.

Background: Coming from a highly competitive high school where everything was settled through shouting and arguments, Raichi entered Blue Unlock with a deep-seated resentment toward intellectual students who despise physical effort and mental stamina in the workplace. For him, control audits and operational management aren't won with sophisticated ideas or abstract theories, but with the unwavering persistence of pushing suppliers and employees to the very limits of their daily production capacity.
Personality: He is explosive, loud, extremely aggressive, and prone to starting heated shouting matches during corporate simulations. He detests Nagi's laziness and Barou's arrogance. Despite his hostile and gruff demeanor, he possesses an unwavering work ethic and is an exceptionally efficient supervisor who doesn't allow anyone around him to slow down or make mistakes.
Attire: He always wears his Blue Unlock jacket unbuttoned and wrinkled due to his constant body language. He rolls up his white shirt sleeves to his elbows, displaying a permanent defensive attitude, and he often chews on a plastic pen or carries a thermos of coffee to keep his energy levels high during the night shifts.
Ego: The Relentless Supervisor. His ego ignites when he implements real-time auditing systems so stifling and rigorous that they force all simulation personnel to work at their maximum operational capacity, crushing any attempt at laziness or inefficiency in the company's departments.

Background: Hailing from a rural background far removed from urban luxuries, Gagamaru entered Blue Unlock without conventional corporate ambitions or an explicit desire to accumulate material wealth. His admission to the logistics faculty stemmed from an innate instinct for survival and resource management under extreme conditions. Ego Jinpachi saw in him a unique ability to remain calm and resolve operational crises when the entire supply chain collapses or when inventory databases crash completely.
Personality: He is an extremely eccentric, pragmatic, unpredictable student with somewhat wild habits that baffle his classmates. He possesses absolute stoicism, rarely complaining about student stress or sleepless nights, and reacts purely instinctively to supply chain problems, finding alternative solutions that defy any management manual.
Attire: He wears the university uniform as casually as possible: his jacket is unbuttoned, his tie is loose or tucked into his pocket, and he often rolls up his trousers. He has a relaxed posture and frequently eats snacks with his hands during lectures, showing little regard for conventional campus dress code.
Ego: The Operational Guardian. His ego kicks in when logistics systems completely collapse. He enjoys placing himself on the last line of defense for a corporation, intercepting critical errors and stabilizing emergency inventory with unorthodox methods no one else would dare attempt.

Background: A grave betrayal in his academic past—the massive plagiarism of one of his government infrastructure proposals by former colleagues—caused him severe trauma, leading him to withdraw from competitive bidding for years. Chigiri feared ever again presenting his ideas at the speed required in public tenders, afraid of reliving that failure. Upon joining Blue Unlock, the hostile environment and Isagi Yoichi's ego forced him to break free from his mental constraints and rediscover his innate intellectual speed, realizing that no one can steal an idea if you are the first to execute it publicly with flawless precision.
Personality: He is a refined, well-mannered, and highly analytical young man with impeccable manners, earning him the nickname "Princess of Campus" due to his elegant demeanor. However, beneath this composed exterior lies a fierce competitiveness, unwavering pride, and relentless confidence. When he enters the competitive world of bidding, he transforms into a bold strategist who enjoys outmaneuvering slow competitors who rely on outdated bureaucracies to formulate proposals.
Attire: She wears her custom-made university blazer, which accentuates her slender figure. Her signature long, reddish hair is styled in an elaborate half-braid to avoid distractions. She always carries a high-speed tablet loaded with flow timers, corporate heat maps, and optimized templates for express technical document submissions.
Ego: The Speed ​​Executor. His ego is spurred on by delivering flawless, comprehensive proposals in record time, getting his government projects approved by the evaluation panel before rival companies or teams have even finished drafting their first analytical version.

Background: He always believed in strict professional ethics. Inspired by comic book heroes, he saw corporate law as a shield to protect market forces and ensure fair competition. He joined Blue Unlock seeking to uphold regulatory justice. However, when confronted with Ego Jinpachi's ruthless system, he suffered a massive breakdown. After being temporarily expelled and entering the rigorous Wild Card program, his moral idealism shattered completely. He returned to the university a cold and unscrupulous corporate mercenary, willing to win any litigation or negotiation by destroying his rivals' strategies through legal technicalities, regardless of the means.
Personality: Originally noble, honest, and disciplined, he earned Isagi's respect. After going through the Wild Card program, his attitude took a radical turn. Now he is a gloomy, quiet, gruff, and extremely individualistic student. He has no interest in constructive debate; he simply imposes his argumentative strength and crushes pre-existing ethical codes, repeatedly stating that conventional justice is an invention of the weak.
Attire: He wears the standard-issue navy blue Blue Unlock blazer, but with modified sleeves due to his intense physical training. He wears a black tie instead of his university blue tie, and carries a heavy leather briefcase filled with thick penal codes, commercial laws, and corporate contracts ready to be used as weapons.
Ego: The Fallen Hero of Law. His ego is activated when he takes on a corporate case and dismantles his opponents' ethical strategies by exploiting extreme legal loopholes. He enjoys demonstrating that the market is not governed by justice, but by the absolute power of the strongest.

Background: From the beginning of his studies, he has considered himself the sole standard of excellence. He views finance and accounting as the structure that underpins the real world, and considers any numerical error a direct affront to him personally. He joined Blue Unlock convinced that his impeccable organizational method is the only valid path to leading large multinational corporations and high-level audits.
Personality: He is arrogant, domineering, tyrannical, and obsessed with order and cleanliness in the classroom. He treats his teammates like inept servants whose sole function is to follow his orders to the letter and provide him with data. He does not tolerate even a penny discrepancy in the accounting records and punishes incompetence by taking absolute control of projects.
Attire: His Blue Unlock suit is perfectly pressed, without a single speck of dust. He carries a neatly folded red handkerchief in his jacket pocket, and his hair is styled upwards with industrial-strength gel. On his university desk, his pens, folders, and calculator are aligned with pinpoint precision.
Ego: The King of Balance. It consists of assuming total control of a forensic audit or financial statement, ruthlessly cleaning up the mistakes made by others, and convincingly demonstrating that only its rigorous and perfect mathematical structure can save a corporation from imminent collapse.

Story: A young, gifted genius lived an apathetic life with no academic interest until Reo Mikage discovered his incredible natural talent. Reo saw that Nagi could design and program complex algorithms and advanced software in a matter of minutes while playing video games on his phone. Reo dragged him to Blue Unlock, where Nagi began to discover the value of his own mind as he was challenged by Isagi's competitive strategies.
Personality: He is extremely apathetic, lazy, and lacks intrinsic motivation for exams or lengthy tasks. He hates unnecessary effort and prefers that others do the operational work for him. However, if provoked or faced with a worthy opponent, his brain suddenly switches on, and he programs brilliant code at superhuman speed, displaying a truly terrifying intellect.
Attire: He wears his blue university blazer completely unbuttoned over an oversized gray hoodie. His pants are somewhat baggy, and he always wears his latest-generation wireless headphones. He is rarely seen without his smartphone or high-end laptop.
Ego: Automation Genius. His ego ignites when he develops software or an algorithm so perfect, efficient, and autonomous that it renders obsolete and utterly useless the months of arduous manual work and research of other competitive technology development teams.

Background: In mainstream schools, he was ostracized and labeled odd because his advertising campaigns and designs didn't follow any traditional business logic. Upon entering Blue Unlock College, he found a completely unrestricted canvas on which to unleash his most abstract ideas. He sees design and marketing not as a structured method for mass-producing products, but as a pure and free art form where he can express his true inner self without constraints or rigid corporate molds.
Personality: He is extremely cheerful, eccentric, energetic, and overflows with a childlike enthusiasm that baffles teachers and colleagues. He claims that an inspiration monster whispers ideas in his ear during sleepless nights. He constantly breaks the rules of brainstorming sessions with unexpected conceptual twists, transforming boring projects into revolutionary campaigns that defy market common sense.
Attire: His official university blazer is covered in ink and acrylic paint stains. He wears multiple colorful and creative pins on the lapels, his shirt is slightly unbuttoned, and he prefers designer sneakers to regulation dress shoes. He always carries a backpack full of sketchbooks and colored markers.
Ego: Chaotic Innovator. His ego awakens when creating advertising concepts so extremely disruptive that they completely break with the logic of the traditional market, forcing the consumer and rival brands to react with amazement or absolute bewilderment to his overflowing conceptual art.

Background: Growing up in the shadow of his brother Sae, a Wall Street prodigy, Rin shaped his academic life to be his perfect partner, analyzing complex macroeconomic models since high school. However, upon returning from New York, Sae coldly rejected him, calling him mediocre and ordinary. Devastated and filled with resentment, Rin enrolled at Blue Unlock with the goal of destroying his brother's financial legacy and proving to the world that he can dominate any market on his own. For Rin, academics are not a path of collaborative learning, but a brutal corporate battleground where only the ultimate predator survives.
Personality: He is cold, distant, hostile, and incredibly calculating. He despises mediocrity and conventional teamwork, which he considers a pathetic refuge for the weak. In academic debates, he possesses surgical precision in detecting the exact logical or mathematical flaw in opposing arguments and publicly humiliating them. When cornered, he enters a savage state where he abandons all traditional theory and decimates his opponents with hyper-aggressive and visceral corporate financial strategies.
Outfit:
He wears the Blue Unlock suit impeccably: a crisp navy blazer, a stiff-collared shirt buttoned all the way up, and a perfectly adjusted tie. He wears highly polished black leather shoes and an expensive chronograph watch that once belonged to Sae, keeping it as a constant reminder of his revenge.
Ego: Market Puppeteer. He enjoys manipulating supply and demand variables in global simulations. His ultimate pleasure is not making money, but forcing his rivals into desperate corporate decisions that lead to their total bankruptcy.

Background: In high school, Isagi was an average student who sacrificed his own ideas to maintain group harmony. Upon entering Blue Unlock, Ego greets them by declaring that conventional teamwork only masks mediocrity. Isagi experiences a crisis, but decides to stay after discovering he possesses a brilliant mind capable of predicting financial crises and reading markets before anyone else. Personality: Outside the classroom: He is a polite, kind, somewhat shy college student and a great companion for coffee or roommates. In the simulation: He becomes cold and ruthless. He develops an Academic Metavision with which he reads his rivals' intentions and anticipates economic trends. He doesn't hesitate to "devour" and reformulate the ideas of geniuses like Nagi or Barou to ensure the success of his proposal. Attire: He wears the official Blue Unlock suit: a navy blue blazer with an open padlock logo, a white shirt, and a skinny tie. On sleepless nights, his hair is disheveled, and in the heat of a debate, he rolls up his sleeves and loosens his tie, always clutching a tablet where he breaks down complex flowcharts. Isagi's ego: His ego is that of the Master Designer. His absolute pleasure is not in shining alone, but in restructuring chaos. He thrives on moving the brilliant minds around him like chess pieces so that his vision dominates the market, under the premise: "The future of this project doesn't move without my decision."
