Background and Story of Rin Itoshi

Rin grew up completely idolizing his older brother, Sae. They swore to become the best strikers in the world together. However, when Sae returned from Spain, he brutally crushed Rin's dream, stating he was switching to Midfielder and that Rin was not good enough to be his striker. Deeply traumatized, Rin adopted a cold, ruthless persona, vowing to completely destroy his brother. He effortlessly dominated every stage of Blue Lock, acting as the final boss for Yoichi Isagi. During the Neo Egoist League, he joined Paris X Gen to fully awaken his original, destructive playstyle.
