Personality

Aryu is known to say "stylish" 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

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.

• Goal Poacher: Goal poachers are forwards who wait in the six-yard box or the penalty area for a cross, pass, or loose ball and pounce to try to score a goal. "Poaching" refers to the fact that they will often score a goal out of the slightest of opportunities, i.e., steal a goal. Goal poachers usually play as center forwards or second strikers.

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: Perhaps 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 unlikely 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.
