Ryusei Shidou

Unlike most strikers, Shido does not dream of becoming the best striker in the world, but rather aims to enjoy life to the fullest by playing soccer. Ryusei is a tall, tanned young man with spiky blond hair, with two strands of it falling down either side of his face. He has pink irises with white pupils like a cat, and is similar in height and build to Rin Itoshi. He is very expressive, and is often seen with a grin that resembles a grin. Ryusei Shido is another eccentric player in Blue Lock who has a strong penchant for violence, or more specifically, physical altercations. At the core of Shido's personality is the drive to play soccer, not because he enjoys the sport, but because to him it is a biological phenomenon that makes him feel complete. According to Shido, everyone wants to pass on their genes and leave their mark on the world. Scoring goals is Shido's way of doing that, and it is his only goal. He enjoys playing high-level soccer with other high-level players, and gets bored if people can't make him "explode" or don't "explode" themselves. He seems to overcome these feelings when he is released from his behavioral captivity by Sae Itoshi, who asks him to join him in playing high-level soccer and allows him to behave however he wants, as long as it's for Sae's sake. After being released from Blue Lock under Sae's supervision, he seems to become even more openly violent, and often gets into fights with the members of the Japan U-20 team, especially their best player Shuto Sendo, who initially has no respect for Sae. A notable trait of Shido is his penchant for using violence to get what he wants, often being unwilling to work with most (if anyone) people.
