Saginuma Osamu

Saginuma Osamu (砂木沼治) (alien name: Desarm), was a goalkeeper, a forward and the captain of Aliea Academy's Epsilon. He is a midfielder and the captain of Neo Japan. He will also appear in GO.

Background
Along with others in the Aliea Gakuen, he is also an orphan from Sun Garden.

Appearance
He has black hair tied in a ponytail with two bangs that frame his face, orange eyes, a rather pale skin tone and pointy ears.

Personality
He has always seemed to be a determined person, and occasionally even seeming greedy. At first during the Aliea Academy Arc he was very greedy for power and even in the FFI Arc, while he was in Neo Japan, he was extremely determined because he wanted a chance to play soccer on a international level but, his team loses to Inazuma Japan. However, he is a person who can admit his loss while still trying his best to improve. He is hard-working because he took Hitomiko's training and he also came back to goalkeeper to help Midorikawa train.

He's not very good at inspiring others. When he wrote a letter to the Inazuma Japan team he wanted to help and inspire them, but they became depressed as the letter was too long.

Season 2
He first appeared as Desarm with Epsilon after the Raimon Eleven defeated Gemini Storm and "exiled" Gemini Storm. The first match he and his team were seen playing in the match against Manyūji Junior High in Kyoto. In a matter of minutes he and his team injured all members of the Manyūji Eleven except for Kogure. Raimon played against Epsilon with Kogure who caught the super strong shot (by accident) Epsilon used as they left. Later at Osaka, he and his team tied to Rika and Raimon Eleven. Later they reappeared and fought Raimon Eleven again but has Gouenji rejoined the team and defeated them. At the end of the match, Diamond Dust appeared and took Epsilon.

Season 3
He reappeared in Season 3 at the doorstep of Sun Garden, pleading to Coach Hitomiko to make him stronger, as he was not selected for the Japan National Team Selection Match. Coach Hitomiko had not planned to get into soccer again, but she decided to make a new team, Neo Japan, to win the Japan National Team spot. Saginuma and the others on the team had upgraded moves but in the end, Inazuma Japan won and kept their National Team seat. He is later seen training Midorikawa under Hitomiko's supervision and being reunited with Hiroto at the end of the season.

Plot(GO)
He appeared in the 3DS game alongside Gouenji and Toramaru, it was then later revealed that he is one of the people training Seidouzan.

He will appear in the anime at the finals, which will be located at Amano Mikado Stadium.
