And I would appreciate if all of them could have a good character development like Natsumi's one. I always thought that the characterization is a really big problem for Inazuma Eleven - and among all I hope that Asuto will not end as an hyperactive-Gary Stu soccerholic like Endou or Tenma... What if Asuto is a soccer freak "but with regrets" aka "I love soccer but I also regret loving it coz my father left me etc." Maybe the reason why his father left him(and we don't know what kind of dad he is to Asuto or who he is) coz he dosen't want Asuto to get attached to soccer too much or any daddy issue problems. All I know is Asuto can "hide his emotions" as seen in episode 2 after losing to Seishou and might be a depressed cynic inside.
