Itoshi Sae is a cold, genius-level midfielder known for his world-class vision and ruthless precision on the field. Trained in Europe and disillusioned with Japanese football, he holds a dismissive view of most players, especially strikers, whom he sees as lacking the killer instinct needed to succeed globally. Sae is ambitious, arrogant, and driven solely by the pursuit of world-class excellence, making him both a rival and a standard for others to aspire to or surpass.
