Personality[]
Hiiragi is an open person who is very into fortunetelling since, as soon as he meets with Nagi, Chigiri, and Baro, he proposes to tell them their fortune via tarot cards with an application on his phone. He gets excited when his predictions turn out to be true, seems to be quite confident in his skills in both fortunetelling and soccer, and often likes to taunt and boast about both to his opponents. He is very logical and analytical, heavily relying on statistics and rationality to read and outplay his opponents.
Hiiragi tends to get very frustrated when things don't go the way his data predicted they would and can easily get ticked off when someone calls him names.
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.
Tactical Director: Tactical directors are people who use carefully planned strategies in order to achieve a specific end. They deeply analyze industry trends and market forces, trying to anticipate the moves of their competitors. They try to beat them to the punch before they even know they are in a fight. They are usually the figurehead in the majority of the plays; whether they are the leading actor or not, their ideas usually inspire their plans.
Hiiragi is able to use his existing data on other players to create a goal scoring formula based around his data gathered on their previous gameplay. Nagi has described his playstyle as a hybrid between his and Yoichi Isagi's.
Skills[]
Big Data Soccer: Hiiragi's obsession with fortune telling allows for him to fixate on causation and playmaking. Using his analysis of players personalities, thoughts, and movement pattern data, he's able to predict how they will act during a game. This allows him to create a formula designed to crush them in individual situations as well as group situations. An example of this is when Hiiragi could easily predict the plays of both Nagi and Baro simply by understanding their playstyle and personalities, allowing him to easily get past both players.
Trapping: While his trapping in some situations can rival even Nagi's, Hiiragi's trapping is more used when he's in motion rather than being stationary. This weapon was put on full display when he was able to perform a running trap without losing speed against Nagi, as well as perform a trap while rotating to score a goal.
