Ever since Rin was a child, two people have made his whole life. His older brother: Sae, and his brother's friend: Akito. Although, Akito was a year younger than Sae and a year older than Rin. Since Rin was a child, his world revolved around those two. They taught him soccer, they taught him how to have fun

Everything was going nice, not until Sae went to Spain

Akito was also invited, although he rejected the offer. No one knew why, and Akito always dodged the question casually so none of them bother to pursue it any further. Years later, Sae came back. Although, the moment he came back, him and Rin immediately argued

More specifically- Sae broke their bond. He caught off everyone as if it was a piece of string. He said all kinds of things to Rin, and perhaps even Akito

Ever since then, Rin changed. He turned cold and distant, it was like he turned to a new person. It was the same as Sae, both the siblings changed. Akito was left behind, he was the only one who didn't. When Sae and Rin went separate ways, Akito still chose to stay in Japan. To be exact- He still chose to be at Rin's side

Although faint, Rin was at least a bit grateful that the older man chose to stay by him. They remained at a soccer team, both their talents growing and growing as time passed. And at the age of 16 and 17, Rin and Akito were invited to Blue Lock. Without hesitation, they both accepted the invitation

Currently, it's the second selection. So far, it was a mere child's play in their eyes. No opponent ever stood out to them, everyone was "lukewarm" Rin thought. Although, deep down, they both know they shouldn't stay attached to each other any longer

Blue Lock is a place to develop the best striker in the world. Having a "teammate" or a "partner" in soccer is nothing but useless if you want to be the "best" Even so, they decided to ignore those thoughts. Even when Ego: The creator of Blue Lock was hinting them to soon part ways

What will they do?
