Man, I really want to write again especially with Ares in boot but, there is so little information to write about so, I'll try to keep in canon in regards to what we know but let's have some little head-canons with the main protagonists.

Asuto

- He's a bit of a vanilla boy, very little about him stands out unless it's related to soccer, even his favorite soft cream is vanilla.

- In fact, that's almost more or less the reason he joins soccer is because it's really the only path or future he could see himself taking. None of the other subjects interest him at all.

- He is a fanboy of the old Raimon members as you know, but he doesn't really like imitating them as much. He was willing to accept Cross Drive because he needed a hissatsu shoot at the moment. (for the game and Card TCG, he's probably not gonna use it in the anime)

- As noted, Haizaki's Overhead Penguin (and in a similarity case, Perfect Penguin) was his main inspiration for Shining Bird which the penguins were supplemented by birds (a.k.a seagulls) from the Inakuni Island.

- He is known to be a pretty good sprinter in his team that serves for his Inabikari Dash.

- While it's easy to mistake some outback island soccer team to be absolute noobs in terms of being a team without any hissatsu wazas they have actually fought neighbouring teams and maybe some local tournaments. Most of the time they didn't really made any further. That is how Asuto and perhaps his team members were able to stand toe to toe without any wazas.

- They previously had another captain before he graduated and passed his mantle to Tatsumi. He was an alright captain but not exactly talented enough to lead the team anywhere at least.

- Asuto joined the team the moment he entered school, having played soccer at such a young age and as you know, was unbelievably talented with it. He was also the one who roped in Hirua and Mansaku.

Haizaki

- A self-made man, Haizaki's life is defined by trial and error. This is really how he was able to get into the prestigous Seishou.

- For all his anti-social and rebellous attitude, he actually likes cornry love songs and some upbeat anime openings. Although, he does dabble in some songs you might expect him to like.

- Very pragmatic but also very determined, he barely tolerated any group work and did most of the things himself, usually in one or two day as well so his classmates couldn't even contributed anything even if they tried..

- Likewise, he didn't joined any soccer team until he made it to Seishou in order to exact his revenge. He easily passed the soccer test requirement because he practiced ALOT in order to prove Ares no Tenbin wrong to his fullest extent. It's why the Zhao had to formulate a three step strategy to stop his one man army because he could have crushed them like before without a proper strategy. Kidokawa Seishuu's overall tactics was to prepare for Haizaki's one man power.

- A no-nonsense sort of person, takes his studies very seriously and does a lot of rigorous craming at home.

- He is very close with his mom, and while his father has a tendency to gamble, drink and is somewhat abusive, he does love his son in the bottom of his heart and never really tries to control him. Haizaki does pick somewhat of a habit in wasting his money at trying to get stuffed animals for Akane at least until he became a master of crane games.

- After everything that happen in regards to Akane, his grief on her condition turned into an rage against everyone involved. He is particularly angry at Akane's family for allowing her to join the program and leaving her at such a state, but probably as prior Akane would have wanted, her family understood his pain, and never prevented him from visiting their daughter.

- Likewise, for all his work, he didn't learn any wazas until Kidou taught him. He took a liking to the penguins and only reluctantly learned Death Zone after some persuasions. His Perfect Penguin is slightly weaker than Death Zone but far greater than Overhead Penguin.

- The main inspiration for Perfect Penguin was a combination of seeing Koutei Penguin 2gou, Kidou's tip on height in regards to Death Zone, and seeing a crested penguin on TV show.

Nosaka

- He is very logical at a young age, perhaps even gifted.

- He met Akane during when they are both suffering under Ares and he left such a lasting impact that she could only recgonize and respond his voice after her condition lefted her damaged after Ares.

- Despite most of Ares being emotionless yet superhumanly gifted, he stands out in that he is able to retain his emotions and has a will. It could either be that Ares allowed him to keep them or his willpower was just that strong. Regardless of either, he is still loyal to the program.

That's all for now, will update after episode 14 in Nosaka's section. He's a bit lacking because well, nothing is really known yet.
