Plot Overview
He was apparently recruited by Kageyama Reiji to play on Zeus Junior High's team, where he was the team captain. While he played for Zeus, he and his team used a drink called "Aqua of the Gods" which contained physically enhancing chemicals that boosted the abilities and strength of the players. They played against Teikouku in the first match of the Soccer Frontier, winning with a total score of 10-0, with Teikoku's members injured and hurt badly, except Kidou. Later, near to the finals, Aphrodi visited Raimon, and told them that they should not enter into the finals as they have already lost. In the finals, Zeus played against Raimon and lead the first half of the game by 3 points. However, due to Endou's efforts, he mastered the skill- Majin the Hand - and managed to stop Aphrodi's God Knows resulting in Raimon's victory. After Zeus's loss, Aphrodi refuses to drink the "Aqua of the Gods", stating that Endou had woken him up from his 'nightmare', and that he shall no longer drink something as tainted as that. It is unknown if the other players of Zeus also stopped. During the Aliea Acadamy arc, Aphrodi is shown to have stronger shoots despite not drinking the "Aqua of the Gods".

In the Aliea Academy Arc, Aphrodi watched each of Raimon's games against Aliea Academy, and then decided to join them during the match against Diamond Dust. At first, no one passed the ball to Aphrodi as the rest of the team members still had their doubts about him. However, when the ball was passed to Tsunami, he passed to Aphrodi who then proceeded to score. He scored Raimon's first goal against Diamond Dust with "God Knows" and Raimon tied against Diamond Dust. He then fought against Chaos. He found out a way to get pass the unbreakable defense of The Chaos, but after trying multiple times, he was badly injured and could not continue to fight with Raimon Eleven. Therefore he had to leave the team and rested the entire time in Inazuma General Hospital. Apparently, he also played a part in helping Fubuki regain his courage to be himself.

In the Football Frontier International, he joined and scouted Suzuno Fuusuke (Gazel) and Haruya Nagumo (Burn) to the Korea's national team, Fire Dragon. They played against Inazuma Japan in the finals of the Asian Preliminaries to see who would represent Asia in the international games. Aphrodi, Gazel and Burn bring out their most powerful technique, Chaos Break, but lost by 4-3. After their loss, Aphrodi wished Inazuma Japan good luck, and to carry on to represent Asia to the world.
