Appearance

Niko has a slim body with long black hair that covers both of his eyes. Niko is of average build and size, so he doesn't seem to be a very strong player. His hair covers his blue eyes, but he can still see through it enough to play high-level soccer. In Blue Lock, Niko wears the standard suit (black with blue stripes) and tracksuit. During the First Selection in Team Y he wore the number 7. During the Second Selection in Team Red and the Third Selection in Team B he wore the number 63. In the match against the Japanese U-20 team playing as a centre back he wears the number 3. In the Neo Egoist League with Ubers he wears the number 25.

Personality

Niko has incredible confidence in his ability to read the field, claiming his superiority over Isagi during the match against Team Z. However, Niko is not prone to arrogance, as he seems to appreciate people who demonstrate the same skill as him. This could be seen when he showed respect to Isagi during their match, realizing that they possess the same eyes. This has translated into a friendly rivalry with the goal of one day playing against Isagi again and defeating him. Niko has also shown that he is willing to adapt his mentality and playing style if it means continuing to evolve. After losing to Isagi, he began to focus on his own goals and stay in the spotlight. During the match against the U-20s, he also began to enjoy playing as a defender, where he uses his eyes to crush attackers. This demonstrates Niko's willingness to change both his style and role for the sake of his ego without a problem.

Skills

Archetype Ball-winning defender: A ball-winning defender generally relies on intelligence rather than strength. While a libero seeks to get involved in duels, a ball-winning defender will try to eliminate the need for such situations by stopping the ball at its source. This means reading the game well to make interceptions. Niko's vision and ability to read the entire field make him a formidable defender. He can take into account most of the field's parameters, as well as factors such as other players' passing style and off-ball movements, to determine where the greatest danger lies and eliminate it. As one of Blue Lock's most intelligent players, Niko has spatial awareness rivaling Isagi's and can briefly keep up with the combined forces of Sae and Shidou before being injured.

Skills

Spatial Awareness: Niko analyzes the entire field, taking into account the weapons, positions, and actions of both his allies and opponents in order to determine the next play and respond accordingly. Niko's reading ability rivals that of Isagi, who is one of the most tactically aware players in Blue Lock. In fact, Isagi himself has been impressed on occasion by Niko's range of vision and ability to read the state of the situation. With his tactical skill, Niko organized Team Y's defensive playstyle as well as their offensive strategy, acting as the core of the team, breaking up the opponent's attacks and initiating his own team's own. Niko has also shown that he can read the way a pass was made and its flight path, in order to determine the best way to intercept it. Watchtower: By focusing his vision not on the player with the ball, but on the players around him, Niko can act as a watchtower on the defensive line, determining the most dangerous threat to his team's goal and the likely path they will take. After doing so, he can move to eliminate the threat. With this style of defense, Niko has managed to circumvent Itoshi Sae's assault, intercepting his pass twice (first to Shuto Sendou and second to Ryusei Shidou).

Etymology

His given name, Ikki (一揮, いっき?), means "a jolt". His surname, Niko (二子, にこ?), means "twins".

I forgot to mention in the schedule that I'll start using that schedule next week 😓 but some teachers want us to do presentations and other things. The bot is inspired by the song "Harvey - Her's"
