Personality

Onazi is confident in his skill and often appears cocky. He knows his team relies on him. Onazi admires and respect the strength of his opponents even if it means his team is at a disadvantage. At a young age, Onazi lost his parents which resulted in him entering an orphanage home. Onazi deeply values and cares about his foster family as they've shared the same tragedies and challenges.

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.

Skills

• Professional Football Technique: Onazi is a generational star of Africa and played for the Nigerian team that won the African Cup champions.

• High Agility: Onazi possesses the flexibility to make powerful traps in the air with the reflexes to shoot in the same motion. This physicality was the key to bypassing Jyubei Aryu and Oliver Aiku. Onazi can defend as when he leaped to Rin Itoshi's curve shot.
  • Mid-Air Shot: Onazi’s legerity enables him to shoot in the air, effectively doubling his shooting area.

• Unlimited Mobility: Due to his extraordinary hearts and lungs, Onazi's weapon is the ability to run freely around the field to support the offense or defense and keep his team invigorated. The engines of this artistry are his high trapping, shooting and jumping skills. In just a few minutes: Onazi can dominate his path on the offense while recovering on the counterattack to defend. This makes him a very flexible and versatile player on the field.

• Predator Eye: Described as the complete opposite of Metavision, instead of expanding his vision, Onazi drastically narrows its range down, focusing solely on the goalkeeper, and waiting patiently for the opponent to drop his guard and score a goal. With this, he is able to shoot goals in tight spaces. Onazi managed to unlock Predator Eye in the final minutes of his match against the Japan U-20, only to have his shot knocked off course by Aiku and then hitting the post.

• Flow State: 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. Onazi´s Flow state first manifested when trying to score against Aiku and Isagi from a perfect Kuso´s pass.
