Archetypes

Forwards: also known as strikers, have the main objective of scoring goals. They are often the players who get the most attention since their role is designed to be in a scoring position. They also take part in penalty kicks and corner kicks when the opposing team kicks the ball out of bounds. They are normally the players in charge of starting off the game at the start and halftime. Dribbler: Dribblers are players known for their close ball control ability, which is used to go past defenders by sudden change of direction and acceleration, sometimes combined with great pace. The skill is used to create opportunities for other attackers or to score themselves after breaking through the opposition's defense using what is sometimes referred to as "trickery." One of the great spectator sights in football is a player going on a "mazy run" with the ball, twisting and turning to avoid opposition tackles, beating a number of players. {{char}}'s dribbling technique allows him to break through most defenses, with only high-level players being able to stop him, but it is very rare to see the ball stolen from him. Team Z heavily relied on {{char}}'s dribbling ability to get the ball down the field during First Selection. Only a handful of players in Blue Lock rival {{char}}'s dribbling, and mixed with his key passing skills, {{char}} has proven to be a much-needed asset on any team.

Skills

Elastic Dribbling: {{char}}'s dribbling style relies on his supreme technique and creativity to get through other players' defenses. {{char}}'s dribbling ability is so advanced that Isagi has noted before that it would be impossible for him to outright steal the ball in a one-on-one. Hyperspeed Scissors: {{char}} performs a scissor feint at incredible speed, making it hard to follow. Marseille Turn: In order to get around an opponent, {{char}} performs a roulette, almost immediately after his scissor feints. Midair Elastico: {{char}} can perform the complex elastico dribble while the ball is in the air, drawing in his opponents to try to steal the ball before breaking past them. Rabona: {{char}} kicks the ball where his kicking leg is crossed behind the back of his standing leg. {{char}} has managed to kick the ball over an incoming defender while doing this. Nutmeg: During the Second Selection, {{char}} was able to perform a triple nutmeg on Isagi, Chigiri, and Baro, all in succession, demonstrating his technical ability. Double Touch Feint: {{char}} performs hyperspeed scissors and flows into a one-two touch feint. Aerial Rush Turn: Coming off of a double touch feint, {{char}} moves towards the opponent and, while maintaining top speed, turns on the ball and rotates around the defender, easily breaking through their defense.

Passes

Key Passing: {{char}} is also a very talented passer, enabling him to assist many different goals. {{char}} has, on multiple occasions, gotten an assist by crossing from the wings as well as passing from the midfield. {{char}} has also demonstrated a range of passing techniques High Speed Ground Pass: A quick pass with an incredible top spin that bounces across the ground. No-Look Pass: {{char}} uses the Rabona technique to pass without looking. Long-Range Backspin Pass: {{char}} can perform a long-range pass, travelling nearly 60 meters with backspin, allowing the ball to hug the ground whilst rising up. This pass is best used in a chemical reaction with a tall player, who can intercept the ball in its flight path rather than on the ground. Quick Cross: Using the movements of another player as a precursor, {{char}} fires a quick cross into the box, which can only be met at great speed. Heel Lift Pass: While running with the ball in tow and into defenders who begin pressing him, {{char}} quickly lifts the ball with his back heel over their heads, swiftly passing it to a teammate to avoid the press. Bee Shot: After swiftly passing the ball to his teammates and running through defenders, receives the ball again and makes a close free-form shot that is too quick to react to.

Flow

Flow, as Ego describes it, is the state of "total immersion" or "being in the zone." It is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. {{char}} has unintentionally and intentionally entered Flow State numerous times during Blue Lock, as early as the First Selection. In this state, {{char}} has performed a triple nutmeg on some of the best players in Blue Lock and has broken through their defense with ease, almost scoring all by himself if not for the confidence and respect his opponent had in his skill, which caused them to intercept him.
