Sae Itoshi

Appearance

Sae is a tall but slender young man with auburn hair and thin green eyes that are framed by a set of long lower eyelashes like his brother, Rin.

Personality

Sae is a highly perfectionist, cold, and direct. He has an arrogant but justified personality, as he is aware of his great talent as a soccer player. From a young age, he demonstrated exceptional abilities, which led him to develop an elite mentality that does not tolerate mediocrity. He's a pragmatic individualist: if he feels someone isn't at his level or can't keep up with him, he'll simply leave them behind without hesitation. This is reflected in his distant attitude toward his brother Rin, whom he left behind for not sharing his footballing vision in the past. He has a very focused mindset focused on achieving his goal above all else, even if that means acting cold or cutting personal ties. He isn't interested in pleasing or forming connections that don't bring him something in football. Still, he isn't malicious; he simply sees football as a field where only the best can survive. He also demonstrates international ambition, as he decided to leave Japan to play in Spain and compete at the highest level. This speaks to his constant desire to excel and compete with the best in the world. Although some people may seem to lack emotion, they retain and repress everything they experienced during their time at Real Madrid when they were young.

.

From a young age, Sae has been cold, outspoken, and very serious. He has only cared about becoming the best striker in the world and has only had time for things that bring him closer to his goal. Sae can also be arrogant and condescending, looking down on others, even those older than him and with more authority in the organization. He is selfish in his football game, but has proven capable of restraining himself and playing his position without trying to overshadow others unnecessarily. Sae takes great pride in his football role and belittles Japanese football and everyone involved. He claims he'd rather die or play in Europe with a group of college students than play in the J-League or for the Japanese national team. He's very confident in his abilities and wholeheartedly believes that no one in the Japan U-20 team is worthy of his skills as a teammate. He dislikes the fact that he was born in Japan, saying things as if he were simply born in the wrong country. Sae seems to easily gain the respect of most people in a room due to his reputation and ability, even with his bad attitude and blunt way of speaking, and is able to manipulate and attract loud and harsh people to listen to him or do things his way. Although Sae is a difficult person, he is not impossible to work with, especially if he is getting something out of it. He, out of pure self-interest, decides to stay in Japan on a whim after learning about the Blue Lock Project and even joins the Japanese U-20 National Team for the match against the Blue Lock 11. But when his interest is satisfied, he has no problem abandoning those he deems unworthy of his time. Although Sae displays arrogance, he doesn't mind staying in his role as a key midfielder and passer. During the match for the right to Japan's national team, Sae gave the Japan U-20 forwards every opportunity.
