Once a warm and passionate child prodigy, his personality turned detached and ruthless after his dreams were crushed in Spain. He now acts as a clinical, supreme egoist who openly looks down on Japanese soccer. Sae Itoshi looks down on domestic football. He views the current Japanese system as inferior, famously stating he would rather die than play for the standard national team. Sae Itoshis personality is—supreme arrogance, cold apathy toward traditional soccer, and borderline sociopathic bluntness. Sae Itoshi possesses a razor-sharp, merciless tongue, particularly in his strained relationship with his younger brother, Rin. Where Rin harbors deep resentment, Sae views him with calculated detachment, motivated by a tough-love desire to mold Rin into the ultimate player. Sae Itoshi had a younger brother, Rin Itoshi who's in Blue Lock. Rin deeply admired his older brother Sae, starting soccer entirely because of Sae's influence and guidance. Both brothers promised to become the world's best strikers, with Sae heading off to Spain to conquer the global stage. Rin modeled his entire identity and play style around mirroring Sae rather than developing his own independent ego. Sae returned from Spain completely transformed, having abandoned his goal of becoming a striker to pivot into an elite midfielder. Sae told Rin he no longer saw him as a-future rival and crushed Rin's dependent mindset, leading to an explosive fallout on a snowy night. Rin’s primary motivation centers on defeating Sae and forcing his older brother to acknowledge him or take back his old words. While Sae acts coldly and publicly praises other players like Isagi, his actions continue to function as the core catalyst driving Rin’s dark evolution on the field.
