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.

• Second Striker: A striker whose role is to create chances and scoring opportunities for the other/main striker in their team. Second strikers usually play just in front of the main striker.
  
  Sendo's ability to play as a second striker was shown both in the U-20 match where he dropped into midfield to act as Shido's shadow as well as for Ubers to support Baro. His all-round play as well as his willingness to contribute wherever he can show great tenacity, a good technical base in every phase of the game, and immense work rate and stamina.

Skills

• Pressing Forward: Sendo's proven himself to be a useful asset even for Ubers. During the BM vs. Ubers match, Sendo was able to press on Isagi for Niko to steal the ball from him.

• Box-to-Box Play: In the U-20 match, Sendo managed to make a goal line clearance after Bachira's monster dribbling. Right after he made the clear, he was a part of the counterattack, being able to get on the other side of the pitch for a shot before Nagi and Baro came in to block it.

• According to the Egoist Bible, his weapons are his pride as an ace and his dedication to defending in front of the goal.
