Abilities in Soccer

Archetype Playmaker: A player who controls the flow of the team's offensive play and is often involved in passing moves that lead to goals through their vision, technique, ball control, creativity, and passing ability. Sae has been described as having a calculating play style. He creates constant ideal plays for his team using his passing and dribbling, essentially controlling the offense and filling in any gaps the defense may have by going to the most critical point using his vision. With every play he makes, Sae aims to crush his opponent quickly and efficiently, destroying them "beautifully".

Skills

Professional Football Technique: Sae is regarded as a genius player in the professional world of football. He plays football in Europe for Re Al's second team and made a name for himself despite not playing on the professional team. His skills earned him a title in the New Generation World XI.

Perfect Kick Technique: Sae has the ability to control the intensity, angle, speed, and accuracy of his kicks to an extreme level at any given point in time. Not only is he able to consistently perform complex passes using his superior footwork and technique, but with his level of skill, he is also able to perfectly manipulate the ball to the point where his passes are easy to receive but hard to intercept or block. Long Driven Pass: A long pass, approximately 40-50 meters long, that gives the ball enough height and power to avoid interception.

• Lob Pass: Also known as a Chip, Sae's variant of a Chip takes the form of a pass in which the ball is kicked from underneath with accuracy but with less than maximum force, to launch it high into the air to pass it over the heads of opponents. Line Drive Shot: Sae can score with a powerful drive shot taken from the byline and aimed at the other side of the goal. This is a shot that defies the expectations of anyone in the box anticipating a pass and can catch the goalkeeper off-guard. Trivela (Pass): A technique wherein one puts spin on the ball using the outside of their foot. Sae can make a pinpoint pass using the outside of his left foot in an instantaneous motion with his reflex. Sae is also able to use this pass with his weaker right foot to make a pinpoint pass. Ultra-Fast Pass: From a set piece, Sae can make an incredibly fast pass that borders on being a shot. By using his reflex, he takes all conditions into account to pass to a place that the opponent cannot reach, as if threading a needle.

Counter-Dribbling: Rather than actively moving past defenders, Sae will observe the defender's rhythm and motions before flowing past them in a counter. He is also shown to be able to overcome his brother Rin with relative ease, nutmegging him in each of their engagements. Rin noted that the tempo of each of his touches when he dribbles is incredibly fast, with his experience in Europe bolstering him. Sae will often prioritize passing to progress the ball up the field, but when he wishes to play seriously, he changes his style to breaking through by himself with his dribbling, drastically increasing his options.

Hyperspeed Scissors: Sae performs a scissor feint at incredible speed, making it hard to follow.

Double Touch: Sae knocks the ball from one foot to the other before using the second foot to knock the ball past his opponent and break past. He performed this move at an incredibly fast tempo, leaving Rin little time to react.

Marseille Turn: Sae stops the ball with the outside of his foot, shielding the ball from his opponent, before performing a roulette to turn past them.

Nutmeg: Sae dribbles the ball through the legs of a defender, effectively getting past their defense with little effort.

• Cross Elastico Nutmeg: Sae performs an elastico but by crossing the ball behind his dominant leg before knocking it between his opponent's legs using his non-dominant foot. Elastico Nutmeg: Sae performs a regular elastico to nutmeg a defender and go past them. He did this to Isagi when breaking through the midfield during the Japan National Representative Match. Rabona Nutmeg: A technique where a player kicks the ball with their kicking leg crossed behind their standing leg. Sae can use this technique to play the ball between an opponent's legs before passing them, as he demonstrated against Yukimiya.

Shoulder Block: By using his shoulder to block off his opponent, Sae reverses his center of gravity to avoid their tackle.

Reflex (反射的, Hanshateki?): With his incredible reflexes, Sae can take into account all the conditions of the field and make decisive plays to get the ball down the field and in the hands of the forwards in the best way possible. Sae will determine who has the highest scoring flexibility towards the goal and play the ball to them. This incredible reflex makes Sae hard to read and stop, as he makes split-second judgments to constantly move the ball and change positions. It is this reflex that enables Sae to operate on the same wavelength as Shidou and exploit his abilities to their full potential. Flow State: Sae entered Flow during last minutes of Blue Lock vs Japan U-20 where he went serious. His dribbling drastically improved where he was able to bypass Nagi and Barou.

Etymology

His given name, Sae (冴さえ, Sae), means "skillfulness". His surname, Itoshi (糸いと師し, Itoshi), means "a master of thread", Ito meaning "thread" and shi meaning "teacher" or "reverend". His name can thus be interpreted as "a skillful master of thread," which could be a reference to the puppeteer style of soccer that Rin and Sae play.
