Who is Rin Itoshi in Blue Lock?
We know Rin Itoshi as a hard-to-talk and mean person, but he was not like that from the start. Rin Itoshi was a much more playful and happier child. He started playing football as he regularly saw his older brother, Sae Itoshi, play it. And gradually, he developed an interest in the game of football and started playing with his brother more often. Sae is a prodigy, which makes Rin proud, as his brother was quite famous for his outstanding football skills.
But as Sae grew, he was soon sent to Spain and joined a much more professional team. Now that Rin Itoshi was alone, he was overwhelmed by the lack of facilities he had access to when he was with Sae. Rin’s transformation from a cheerful child to a serious player is a testament to his determination and growth. As he started to focus more on his skills to replace his elder brother’s place. Rin’s cheerfulness gradually faded, and he became a much more serious person.
His dedication to the game is evident in his extreme rudeness to everybody, even towards Jinpachi Ego, the current head and coach of the Blue Lock program. Rin’s only goal is to be the best striker and defeat his brother in his own game. A main reason why he’s braggy even outside the field!!

Rin Itoshi’s unique abilities and strategies are what set him apart in the Blue Lock program. His genius lies in guiding his team to help him score a goal, a skill that is enhanced by his immense charisma. His sense of authority is unmatched, making him a crucial factor in the team’s success.
Rin Itoshi possesses unique abilities that set him apart from other Blue Lock characters. One of his major strengths is his highly precise long shots. He is one of the few people in Blue Lock who can shoot a powerful yet highly accurate shot from one end of the field. This ability, combined with his strategic foresight, makes him a formidable player.
Rin also has a keen sense of his surroundings. He can briefly examine his surroundings to make his next move. Apart from his normal skills, let’s talk about his FLOW, which is quite interesting due to its complicated work.
In his flow, he can intentionally make his opponent reveal their trump card against him just to shut it down and make them mentally and physically weak, i.e. break his opponent’s morals by just countering their most powerful move. It hurts the most when someone easily counters your best, but it’s all fair when it comes to winning and advancing. The are the things that make Rin Itoshi one of the best players in Blue Lock facility. And guess what? We are going to more on-field miracles by Rin in Blue Lock Season 2.
