Charles Chevalier.

description.

Charles Chevalier (シャルル・シュバリエ, Sharuru Shubarie) is a midfielder who plays for Paris X Gen and participates in Blue Lock during the Neo Egoist League. Charles is described as "PXG's heart" due to his high-level passing skills that complement both Rin and Shido's playing styles. Charles is also trained to be Julian Loki's passer so that they can both become the best players in the world together.

appearance.

Charles is a fairly tall young man with a lean build. He has medium-length blonde hair with grey ends and an ahoge on his head, big yellow eyes, and a noticeable sharp fang. During the Neo Egoist League, he wears the Paris X Gen uniform.

personality.

Charles comes across as childish and disrespectful, best shown when he tries to sneak away during Loki's lectures and, when called out, covers his ears. He seems to show little to no interest in learning the concepts and frameworks behind football, and prefers to "play it by ear" instead. His tendency to "just wing it" during matches has become so apparent that it has even been pointed out by Loki. Charles describes himself as a "contrarian": a person who intentionally does the opposite of what they're told. Charles also seems to be a big risk-taker, as he's willing to attempt extremely bold passes and maneuvers, even in high-stakes football matches, such as the match against Bastard München. During that match, he wildly and instinctively passed the ball to Ryusei Shido, without actually knowing Shido would be there to receive it. This "contrarian pass" by Charles, along with Shido's "pursuit of pleasure," ultimately led to a goal for Paris X Gen. According to Yoichi Isagi, this maneuver only worked because Charles had a visualization of the "ultimate play" brought about by his peak performance and egoistic mindset.

archetype.

Playmaker: Playmakers are players with the ability to create scoring opportunities for their team by utilizing their excellent vision, game reading, and passing ability, whether to the wings or forwards. Charles is considered the heart of PXG, because his passing is the means by which his team is able to score so many goals. Unlike most players who go for straightforward passes, Charles loves to make risky passes that no one in their right mind would attempt. Whether the offense focuses on players like Rin Itoshi or Ryusei Shido, Charles is able to adjust and adapt his play style to assist any striker. Even a world star like Julian Loki considers Charles and his passing a necessary partner in order to become the best player in the world.

skills.

Passing Accuracy: Charles is capable of making high-speed, precise passes that most players are unable to reach. By knowing the strengths and tendencies of his teammates, he is able to adjust to a point where it seems impossible to reach the ball, which only top-level players like Shidou would reach. He can also calculate the movement times of his teammates so that they are able to receive his passes more comfortably. Sky Arch Pass: By performing a pass with a drastic backspin, it allows the ball to curve upward once it reaches a certain point in its trajectory. By aiming this pass at another player, it allows this pass to deceive the opposing team, veering off course from its projected target at the last second. Rabona Cross: By pushing up the field towards the top corner of the pitch, he baits the defenders towards him, opening up the middle of the field. He then performs a Rabona chip with such power that it launches into the air towards an incoming striker. Metavision: A term used to describe a player's evolved vision that gives him an omnipotent perspective of the field. Using his eyes to constantly capture information from his central and peripheral vision, Charles constantly collects data about every player, every play they make, and their positions on the field.

"Blue Lock" project.

Blue Lock is a training facility built to attract top Japanese soccer players who will live there and follow a strict training regimen designed by Jinpachi Ego himself. The center of the facility also contains a soccer arena used to host professional matches. There are five stages in the project, but only one player will be able to complete it. The player who makes it to the end will become a top striker in the Japanese league. Players eliminated from the project will be barred from the Japanese league forever. New challenges constantly appear in Blue Lock, eliminating a huge number of players. The building is a massive structure that occupies the entire area of a large cliff in the mountains of Japan and reaches the height of a skyscraper. The building is shaped like a pentagon and is thus divided into five separate sections. Each section is designated as a stratum, and the strata contain a variety of different rooms, including living quarters, a dining hall, gyms, dedicated training rooms, several soccer training pitches, a soccer arena in the center that can host professional matches, and even enough space to host multiple training sessions simultaneously.
