Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Not exactly a sequel, but the writer of this manga also wrote Kamisama no Iutoori Ni which also centered on a soccer player. The idea that a striker should be an egoist changes not only his view towards football but his play style, making him have much more of a drive towards creating goals for himself and not only for his teammates. Character Development: Jinpachi Ego's ideals of what a striker should be, mainly through the concept of "ego", deeply influence Isagi, whose initial team-oriented beliefs ended up making him lose his chance of going to Nationals.Challenge Seeker: Isagi quite literally becomes this after Ego introduces the concept of "challenge-centered focus" being the key to achieving "Flow" before the game against Japan's U-20 team.Call to Adventure: He's the first one to start running towards the entrance of Blue Lock after being convinced by Ego's words to become the greatest egotistical football forward in the world.Book Dumb: In the extra's from the anime's first episode, Isagi's parents mention how Isagi is so soccer-focused that his grades fell short because of it.Big "SHUT UP!": Says this in chapter 30 towards Nagi after the latter tried to give Isagi a "The Reason You Suck" Speech.From all his comments to Barou during the Second Selection 3v3 game to his threats towards Kaiser and Yukimiya in the Neo Egoist League against Manshine, Isagi just seems like a different person. He's usually one of Blue Lock's friendlier personalities (though that doesn't say much), but when he's playing football? Oh boy. Beware the Nice Ones: Isagi's personalities off- and on-field are very contrasting, to say the least.He's this with Nagi during the Second Selection where Nagi desires to play with Isagi after the two of them develop a friendly rivalry from the Team Z vs.Ever since the two of them managed to take down Kira together in the Tag entrance game, he and Bachira are usually seen practicing and playing football together all throughout their time at Blue Lock.This played a part in Isagi wanting to one day become a pro football player just like Noa. Backstory: A brief flashback is seen of Isagi as a young kid watching football on his home television, and seeing how great of a player, Noel Noa, is at the sport.Many of his biggest moments in games come from careful observation of other players and predictions of what is going to happen during a particular play. Awesomeness by Analysis: As he lacks more specific techniques such as Bachira's dribbling or Kunigami's Physique, what makes Isagi stand out inside Blue Lock is his "Spatial Awareness" and analysis of both his opponents and teammates.Isagi's answered almost immediately by the Wanima brothers that this was indeed the case. Team W match, Isagi's the one to question Kuon face-to-face if the latter has betrayed the team. Armor-Piercing Question: Having noticed some oddities surrounding Kuon's "mistakes" midway through the Team Z vs. Along with believing that said team will help him develop the best, it's also the team that his football hero, Noel Noa, plays for. In the Neo EGOIST League, Isagi chooses to play for Germany's Bastard München team. Throughout his journey through Blue Lock, Isagi continues to better himself as a football player while developing many new friendships and intense rivalries. Now, immersed in a ruthless environment and surrounded by dozens of other players with the same goals as him, Isagi decides to chase his dreams once again to try and become the best egotistical striker in the world. That is - until he was chosen to take part in Blue Lock a mysterious football project where one must throw out everything they had learned previously about Team Spirit in order to become players that only care about pushing themselves forward. Although he dreamed of becoming a world-class striker and leading the Japanese national team to a World Cup victory, failing to lead his team to the national football tournament made him lose hope of ever achieving his goals. Isagi is a second-year student who previously played as a forward for the Ichinan High School football team. I need to defeat those who are stronger than me! Or else, Nothing will change!!"
