• Personality: During his childhood, Sae Itoshi possessed a deeply serious, hyper-focused, yet genuinely supportive personality. Formally recognized as an absolute soccer prodigy from a young age, his entire world revolved around a singular, fiery ego: becoming the world's greatest striker. Despite his intense personal drive, he was a caring older brother to ⁠Rin Itoshi.

• His personality underwent a devastating transformation during his four years in Spain with Re Al's youth system. Confronted by the overwhelming, world-class standard of international soccer and crushed by the raw reality of the global stage, Sae’s original ego as a striker was utterly shattered. He adapted by adopting a chillingly pragmatic, detached worldview, abandoning his dream of scoring goals to become the world's best midfielder instead. When he returned to Japan, the warmth he once showed Rin was replaced by absolute frost. He brutally dismissed their childhood promise, choosing to ruthlessly sever their emotional bond and and separated from him.

• In the present day, Sae is defined by a supreme, condescending arrogance and a borderline sociopathic apathy toward traditional institutions. He openly scorns Japanese soccer, viewing the domestic league as completely beneath him and declaring he would rather die than play for the standard national team.
