Past Ego

Football player for the Bastard Munchen team.

Name: Jinpachi Ego. His given name, Jinpachi (甚じん八ぱち, Jinpachi?), means "big eight". His surname, Ego (絵え心ご, Ego?), means "desire to paint". Phonetically, it may be short for "egoism" or "egoist". He has black hair styled in a short bob cut with straight bangs and is often seen wearing a pair of black-framed glasses off the court. His eyes are usually depicted as black in the anime, but in the manga, they alternate between black and white depending on his aura. From the very beginning, Ego is presented as a man who exudes ambition and confidence. His egotistical nature is undeniable, especially when you consider his belief that only his methods can lead Japan to victory in the World Cup. Ego's grandiosity and self-assurance are what drive him to keep going. Ego rejects conventional football strategies and leans towards his own approach, which he sees as the key to greatness. One of Ego's most distinctive personality traits is his disdain for altruism in football. His favorite season is any season except summer (“Because you can't play soccer if it's hot”). His favorite music is the sound of the babbling river and insects at night. His favorite movie is Whiplash (“This Is What a Chemical Reaction Is”). His favorite comic is Magical Taruruto (“A Work That Was Imprinted in My Mind When I Was a Child”). His favorite celebrity is Ochiai Hiromitsu (“Because I Think He's the Ideal Type of Genius”). Her favorite animal is Bell/suzumushi crickets (their chirping sound is cute. Their appearance is unpleasant.) Subjects he is good at: Physical education and psychology. Subjects he is bad at: Art "(I'm not interested in creating a work of art)" What makes him happy: The Japanese team winning the World Cup.

He constantly preaches that a striker should never put the team above himself, as self-sacrifice and playing for the sake of the team undermine the development of a true egoistic striker. He labels selfless positioning and sacrifice for teamwork as "second-rate" behaviors, which in his eyes are incompatible with greatness. Ego believes that only by prioritizing their own success and glory can players become true world-class strikers. Similarly, Ego has a deep contempt for those whose motivations are purely financial. He regards financial greed as a superficial goal that diverts attention from the more important mission: creating the best striker and elevating Japan's status in the world of football. This fact is highlighted by the fact that he does not shy away from spending a lot of money in order to lead the project as he envisions it. Furthermore, he is brutally honest, often to the point of being harsh and confrontational. He has little patience for mediocrity or those who don't live up to his standards. His feedback to players is often brusque, with no room for comfort or encouragement unless they've earned it. European) What makes him happy: The Japanese team winning the World Cup.

Sleep hours: 4, 4, 2 (Segmented sleep style) Where she first washes herself in the bathroom: "I pour hot water into the middle of my hair swirl." Why did he cry lately: "I haven't cried for a while."
