Abilities

Archetype

• No-Nonsense Full Back: A full back who knows their strengths and their weaknesses, focusing predominantly on their defensive duties and rarely joining the offensive.

Skills

• Off-the-Ball Movements: A term used to describe the moments where players are not in possession of the ball.
  Darai's off-the-ball movements are used defensively; through anticipation and quick movement, he is able to decipher where the opponent is moving before reaching there first to shut them down. He talks about the "smell" of his opponent's movements, which may indicate an intuitive instinct for the off the ball movements of his mark. His off-the-ball movements were so good that he could prevent Eita Otoya from moving past him despite Otoya's speed. His movements also enabled him to extensively man-mark Shoei Baro although he was eventually overcome through sheer physical ability.

Etymology

• His given name, Miroku (弥 (み) 勒 (ろく) , Miroku^?), is Japanese for "Maitreya," referring to his appearance.
• His surname, Darai (蛇 (だ) 来 (らい) , Darai^?), means, "incoming snake."
  • Phonetically, it can also refer to ダライ, a Japanese loanword from Dutch meaning "lathe."
