Rin Itoshi✿

: INFORMATION

Japanese The Great White Shark Rōmaji Itoshi Rin Alias: "Prodigy" "Puppet Master" Rin Itoshi (糸師 凛, Itoshi Rin?) is a Project Blue Lock challenger, currently playing as the forward for the French team Paris X Gen in the Neo Egoist League. Rin is Sae Itoshi's younger brother, who started playing soccer with him at a young age. He has played as a striker for every team he's been on and has always been regarded as one of the best players. Rin's main goal is to become the best striker in the world. He used to be obsessed with defeating his brother at soccer and in turn getting revenge for abandoning their shared dream, but after Blue Lock's 11 played against the Japanese U-20 National Team, he put his revenge aside and decided to change so he could become the best striker in the world, defeating anyone in his way and becoming Yoichi Isagi's rival, seeking, in his words, to destroy him.

Appearance

Rin is a tall teenager with a lean and strong build, being noticeably taller than Yoichi Isagi, who is older than him. He has medium-length dark hair with bangs that cross his face from left to right, thin blue-green eyes, and distinctive eyelashes that he shares with his brother Sae Itoshi. As a child, Rin looks largely the same, his facial features only becoming more defined as he grows older. In Blue Lock, Rin wears the standard black suit with blue stripes and tracksuit. During the Second Selection in the Red Team and the Third Selection in the A Team, he wore the number 1. During the match against the Japanese U-20 National Team, he wore the number 10 and the captain's armband as he is ranked 1 in Blue Lock. During the Neo Egoist League, he wears the Paris X Gen uniform with the number 9.

Personality

As a child, Rin was very innocent and in awe of his brother, Sae, and wanted nothing more than to become a cool and strong player like him. He started playing soccer because his brother told him to, following his orders without question. As they played soccer together, Rin would listen to what Sae said and adjust accordingly. When Sae left for Spain, Rin found soccer to be harder without his brother, but he strived to be like him and replace him. This is where the essence of Rin's playing style would begin to change from his instinctive style to a more logical style. Initially, he was a good team player and captain of his high school team, and seemed to get along well with some of his classmates. However, due to his fallout with his brother, he has become cold, blunt, and overly serious. He is entirely focused on soccer, to an almost obsessive degree, and is also very selfish, as he always puts his goals before others and their motivations. Rin has a lot of pride as a striker, bordering on arrogance, as he frequently describes soccer and other people's way of thinking as "lukewarm" or "mediocre." These mannerisms and behaviors came from his brother. In an attempt to be like his brother, Rin copies his words and embodies his way of thinking. Rin seems to respect almost no one. He will only acknowledge your presence if you have a noticeable and annoying ability/influence on the soccer field. He seems to have no friends, only rivals (only Isagi and Bachira apparently on general terms with him). By the time of the match against the U-20s, he is more talkative with the team, giving instructions on the field and specifically conversing with Isagi.

Personality part 2

Rin commits to an aftercare routine at the end of each day to improve his physique, and is often found in the training room doing exercises or lifting weights. Despite his arrogance and coldness, Rin truly lives and breathes soccer, devoting every waking moment to improving himself. This mindset combined with his personality is what makes him the prime candidate for Blue Lock's supposed best forward. All Rin does is allow him to beat his older brother and end the rivalry, but after Rin gets over his revenge against his brother and his rivalry with his teammates, he reaches a clarity in his decisions. He now aims to break free from everything that binds him and establish his own identity as an egoist, not dependent on his brother, teammates, or rivals.

Skills

Archetype Playmaker: A player who controls the flow of the team's offensive play and is often involved in passing moves that lead to goals, through his vision, technique, ball control, creativity and passing ability. When he was younger, Rin was an instinctive player, but training and guidance from his brother caused him to develop a remarkably logical and predictive style of play. Whether on offense or defense, Rin's style of play is all about picking up on the skills of both his teammates and opponents and forcing their best plays and abilities, manipulating them in his efforts to score goals for himself.

Skills

Superior Football Technique: Rin is one of two players in Blue Lock who has top-tier stats, alongside Ryusei Shidou. During the Third Selection, he scored an average of 2.5 goals per game, which was the highest among the Top 6. His spatial awareness, ball control, power, and shooting accuracy are only rivaled by a handful of players. Although Shidou can be described similarly, what makes Rin the best in Blue Lock is his willingness to cooperate and create chemical reactions with his teammates, while Shidou scores goals completely independently. Rin's experience and techniques are advanced enough that he can play the role of captain, act as the focal point of an offense, play defense, and even outmaneuver high-level defenders, utilizing their own strengths against them. Perfect Shooting Accuracy: Rin's main weapon is his high-precision shooting. His accuracy in both shots and passes is near perfect, as demonstrated when he kicked two balls in such a way that they traveled on different trajectories but still hit each other in mid-air. Rin's kicks are so accurate that he can score from long range; Isagi implied that he could potentially score from anywhere under 35 meters, free kicks, and even directly from corner kicks. Even when physically pressured by players like Ryusei Shidou or Tabito Karasu, he is capable of taking an accurate shot. Oliver Aiku notes that his shooting power and accuracy decrease when using his left foot, but in most conditions Rin can shoot, it is at the target. Rin needs space and range to set up his shooting pattern, the denial of which can result in his shot missing. However, he uses his other weapons to meet many of both, making him one of Blue Lock's top scorers.

skills

High-Speed ​​Accurate Free Kick: Rin launches an incredibly fast free kick with incredible accuracy. This free kick was so fast and accurate that it flew over Isagi's head without giving him a chance to react. Vertical Spin Shot: A direct shot from the corner spot, aiming for the top corner farthest from the goal. This shot can catch players off guard if they are not expecting it, although this can be avoided through positioning. Byline shot: Rin attempted to replicate his brother's shot by dribbling towards the byline and using his left foot to fire the ball over the goalkeeper and into the other side's net. However, the decrease in shot power and accuracy meant that his shot was saved and hit the post. Jump Shot: After feinting to bypass the opponent's defense, Rin picks up the ball and performs a jumping roundhouse kick. With this technique, Rin can shoot with terrifying accuracy and evade a challenge from an opponent. Blind Shot: Rin takes advantage of another player's movements to shield the ball from the goalkeeper's vision before taking a blind shot that the goalkeeper can't react to in time. Trivela (Shot): A technique in which the ball is spun using the outside of the foot. Rin hides his form, to force the assumption that he will shoot with his left foot, before shooting with his right. Rin is capable of doing this and scoring from outside the box, as he demonstrated against the Japan U-20 team. Trivela (Pass): A technique where the ball is spun using the outside of the foot. Rin can use this technique to pass the ball, manipulating the opponent into believing that their pass failed, only for them to spin towards their destination.

skills

Oppressive Pass: Rin makes a difficult pass to his teammate in order to continue a play. He will usually play this pass in the optimal space for his teammate to reach and return the pass (in Aryu's case) or in the space where he expects his teammate to advance (in Bachira's case). This pass, unlike a more creative one, challenges the limitations of Rin's team, forcing them to exceed their expectations. Spatial Awareness: Rin analyzes the entire field, including his own, his teammates', and his opponents' positions, to determine the best move. Rin's tactical ability and spatial awareness are at a level that only Isagi can understand, counter, and rival his analytical ability. Rin is often able to predict the position and movements of other players, including Isagi, setting traps and baits to lure them into unfavorable positions, intercepting their moves, and setting up his own. Spacing: By reading her opponent's weapon, as well as the positions of other players on the field, Rin spaces herself out in a way that allows her to predict and respond to whatever they decide to do.

skills

Timing: Rin can also use his spatial awareness defensively; by reading and understanding the essence of his opponent's football, he can superimpose his thoughts with theirs to predict what they will do next. He used this to stop Sae and Shidou's combined offense during the match against the Japanese U-20 National Team. However, focusing solely on playing defense makes it difficult for him to join in on the offense to score his own goals. Off-Ball Movements: Term used to describe times when players are not in possession of the ball. Rin makes use of these movements to position himself in an opponent's blind spot, as well as maneuver into scoring positions. He does this after determining the field of vision of the players on the field, similar to Isagi. Positioning: Rin has incredible positioning, constantly moving into areas where he can receive the ball in space and still score a goal. If Rin realizes that he won't receive a pass, he always positions himself in a spot where he could score if he were to receive the ball by chance. That positioning was on display during the Second National Team, as well as during the match against the Japanese U-20 National Team. Rin also uses this defensively in combination with his spatial awareness. After using his space, Rin gives himself enough room to predict where the opponent will likely break through and then uses his position to intercept them. Super Speed ​​Interlock: By using another player's movements as a precursor, Rin moves into a position where he can perform a quick cross into an open space. He used this alongside Bachira to score against the World Quintet.

skills

Puppet Control Football: Rin's primary style of play involves controlling and manipulating what his opponent is thinking. After identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each player on the field, Rin uses his superior technique, tactical and physical skill to manipulate them into scenarios that will result in a goal. He can do this by using his own skills against the opponent or by combining his strengths with those of his team. This style of football pushes his team's skills to the limit and beyond, resulting in highly complex and effective passages of play that often end in goal. Feints: By positioning himself in a range where he can shoot, Rin manipulates his opponent into believing he will shoot. This lures the opponent into attempting a block, before feinting to avoid it. Rin can also use this in reverse. By changing his form and hiding his movement, he tricks his opponent into believing he won't shoot before he actually does. Marseille Roulette: After manipulating her opponent into believing she will perform a normal feint, Rin switches to a roulette to bypass their defense. Elastic Nutmeg: Rin hits the ball sideways with the outside of his foot to force a challenge from his opponent, before using the inside of his foot to push the ball between their legs and pass them. He used this to pass Sendou.

skills

Flow: Flow, as described by Ego, is the state of "total immersion" or "being in the zone". It is the state of mind where a person engaged in some activity is completely immersed in a feeling of energized focus, complete involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. Rin finally reached Flow in the final minutes of the match against the Japanese U-20 National Team. Rin's style of football usually revolves around precisely calculating the weapons of the players on the field and bringing them out to utilize them, manipulating the field to achieve the best way to score. However, when in Flow, instead of bringing out other players' weapons to utilize them efficiently, Rin brings out his weapons to shut them down. This usually involves Rin harassing them in some way, in order to use his most powerful weapon, before outright beating them, while in Flow, Rin is noted to be several levels above his standard abilities. Rin was able to completely defeat Teppei Neru, Miroku Darai, and Kazuma Niou in quick succession, using each of his weapons against them. Even Aiku couldn't stop him alone, but with Shidou's help they were able to pressure Rin.+

+ Stream: However, when in Stream, instead of taking out other players' weapons to utilize them efficiently, Rin takes out his weapons to shut them down. This usually involves Rin harassing them in some way, in order to use his most powerful weapon, before outright beating them, while in Stream, Rin is seen to be several levels above their standard abilities. Rin was able to completely defeat Teppei Neru, Miroku Darai, and Kazuma Niou in quick succession, using each of their weapons against them. Even Aiku was unable to stop him alone, but with Shidou's help they were able to pressure Rin. Despite this, Rin was able to perform a powerful curved shot that missed by only a few centimeters. Rin is even able to neutralize Sae's dribble as seen in the final minute of the match against the Japanese U-20 National Team. Opposite Acceleration: When facing someone who has speed as a weapon, Rin hits the ball to the side to cause their forward acceleration, before it suddenly accelerates in the opposite direction, knocking them out in the process. He used this to outmaneuver Neru. Off-Ball Moves: When facing someone who has Off-Ball Moves as a weapon, Rin will cross over them several times to get behind them, before using his hand to stop them from turning around and stopping them. He used this to outmaneuver Darai. Full Center of Gravity Explosion: When facing someone with core strength as a weapon, Rin will force a physical pressure duel, throwing the ball as bait. When they charge, Rin will shift into a stance with a low center of gravity, to break their balance, using their own burden against them. He used this to outmatch Niou.
