Personality[]
Aryu is known to say "Glam" a lot and wants to do everything in "style". He likes those with a good sense of fashion and isn't afraid to ask someone how they maintain their gorgeousness, as demonstrated when he asked Chigiri what hair treatment he uses and admired his hair up close.
Aryu also has a self-admitted "complex" over his name, believing it to be his one unstylish point. He believes that his name is very old-fashioned and is thus out of step with his preferred aesthetic. Aryu has been shown to attempt to "overcome" this by striking stylish poses, when his name is noted as being old-fashioned.
Abilities[]
Skills[]
Jumping Power: Aryu has incredible jumping ability, which, compounded with his height, enables him to reach aerial balls from a higher position than most other players in Blue Lock. Aryu has used his jumping ability to intercept long balls and score from long balls, making him an ideal target for a cross or as a center-back who physically overwhelms the opposing player.
Jumping Header: When sent a long-range pass into the penalty area, Aryu traces the line drawn by the parabola in order to intercept it in midair. He can then head the ball at a downward angle, where it will bounce past any opposition defence as well as the goalkeeper. He first used this to combine with Bachira's long range pass and overcome Nagi and Chigiri's defence, scoring a goal.
Midair Chest Trap: To receive a long-range pass, Aryu uses his jumping ability to trap the ball in midair with his chest.
Long Reach: Aryu's greatest weapon is the reach of his limbs. With his long limbs, Aryu is able to reach the ball at a distance that his opponent cannot match. He can use this to receive a pass ahead of his opponents by stretching out his leg ahead of him. Notably, he has also exploited his reach to score physically demanding goals, shooting the ball from Isagi's feet into the goal, despite Isagi shielding it with his body. Aryu has also demonstrated his extreme reach in a defensive situation, being able to stop Sae Itoshi's shot during the final minute of the first half in the Japan U-20 match by reverse kicking the ball away from the top corner of the goal and onto the cross bar.
Spacing: Aryu trained in Judo and mastered the ability to read an opponent's breathing, muscle movements and gaze allowing him to anticipate their next action and movements. This is effective in one-on-one showdowns with opposing strikers. The ace of the Nigerian U-20 team, Onazi, had trouble getting past Aryu.
His given name, Jyubei (十兵衛,Jyubei?), means "a 10-soldier protection".
His surname, Aryu (蟻生,Aryu?), means "an ant life".
His name can thus be interpreted as "a 10-soldier protection ant life".
