║ Norinobu's character is beautifully intellectual yet intricate. He commands respect while avoiding unnecessary fluff or chatter, resulting in a struggle to form close, emotional bonds. One would believe that his calm nature makes up for it, but it's actually what makes him seem detached. This is due to his practical mind that focuses on what works; he strives for perfection in all tasks, and some find that hard to approach. Ultimately, he possesses an intimidating aura – not just because of his physical strength, but his direct attitude – that drives people away.

Through the Blue Lock Project, it is revealed that he values order above all else, preferring efficiency in all things with a drive for results as he's lived disciplined and focused. However, he usually speaks bluntly without care, his words tending to sting those around him, and he does not try to soften the blow. Consequently, this creates tension in his interactions and demonstrates that Norinobu lacks ideal communication skills for the team sport.

Nevertheless, Norinobu is misunderstood. Although he is more calm, blunt, and logical altogether than most people – granting him an unpleasant nature – he does not view everyone in the Blue Lock project as mere tools or worthless. He acknowledges that they all have more potential than they tend to present, and to simply see them go unexecuted frustrates him. On the other hand, Norinobu has manners outside of playing soccer that, overtime, shine light to his declining reluctance to give in to different play styles despite how disorganized and/or chaotic it may be.

Overall, Norinobu is a mysteriously instinctive individual aiming to become a distinguished striker through the Blue Lock Project. ║

⌜ ｏｖｅｒｖｉｅｗ ⌟

║ Norinobu is a mechanical genius with the ability to react at a supernatural speed, allowing him to make instant decisions and adjust in real time through a reaction-based play style. ║

Core Weapon: Lightning-Fast Reflexes

• Allows him to process movements and react faster than any other player.

• This applies to ing, dribbling, positioning, and finishing.

• At first, it’s used for ing/playmaking, but later, it’s honed for goal-scoring instincts.

Sub-Weapon: Playmaking & ing

• "Falcon Vision" – Instantly detects ing lanes, predicting teammate and opponent movements.

• "Thread-cutter" – Delivers pinpoint through balls before defenders can react.

• "One-Touch Cipher" – Executes perfect one-touch es with precision, minimizing wasted motion.

Sub-Weapon: Movement & Positioning

• "Phantom Glide" – Subtle, instinctive micro-movements to dodge tackles and create space.

• "Ghost Route" – Instinctively moves into goal-scoring positions before defenders react.

• "Echo Hunter" – Always first to loose balls, rebounds, and deflections, as if predicting them before they happen.

Sub-Weapon: Finishing & Shooting

• "Snap Strike" – Adjusts shot trajectory in real-time based on defender and goalkeeper positioning.

• "Predator’s Edge" – Instantly selects the best shot type (chip/power/finesse) within milliseconds.

• "Lightning Volley" – Can execute perfect first-time volleys with minimal setup.

Bonus: Physical & Mental Strengths

• His tall height and lean build allow him to possess a greater reach and spatial control along with a perfect balance of speed and strength.

• "Unshaken Mind" – Maintains composure and efficiency under extreme pressure.

• "Limitless Drive" – Trains obsessively, refining skills to near-perfection.

• "Calculated Chaos" – Balances rational decision-making with ruthless self-interest in goal-scoring situations.

⌜ ｉｎｉｔｉａｌ ｓｔａｔｓ ⌟

║ Prior to ing the Blue Lock Project, Norinobu's supernatural reaction time has been used primarily for playmaking; he is an engine of the attack, setting up teammates and controlling the flow of the game through that and his positioning. ║

Strengths & Weaknesses

:white_check_mark: Surgical precision in ing and movement

:white_check_mark: Cold, calm decision-making under pressure

:white_check_mark: Mastery of reaction-based positioning

:x: Hesitation to shoot; overthinks scoring chances

:x: Overworks himself; prone to burnout

⌜ ｉｍｐｒｏｖｅｄ ｓｔａｔｓ ⌟

║ After participating in the Blue Lock Project for several weeks now – ing the first, second, and third selection with a growing sense of ego – Norinobu embraces his desire for goals while still maintaining his insane reaction speed as his primary driver. ║

Strengths & Weaknesses

:white_check_mark: Lightning-fast, instinctive finishings

:white_check_mark: Unrivaled reflexes; always first to rebounds and loose balls

:white_check_mark: Balanced intellect and instincts; no hesitations in seizing goals

Bａｃｋｓｔｏｒｙ

══⊹⊱°♡°⊰⊹══

║ From the moment of his birth, Norinobu was regarded as the most gifted child in his family, with his delicate looks and serene aura making him a target for modeling. Not only did this cause his older brother to resent him out of pure jealousy, but Norinobu's parents – famous musicians – placed more pressure onto the gilded wound as they expected him to follow in their footsteps and acquire knowledge of various musical instruments, with the clarinet being the most prominent.

Despite finding music interesting, Norinobu did not want it as his career, but to please his parents he played along with their premade path. However, upon later facing criticism from his parents for appearing too feminine, in which they began giving him domestic tasks around the house to align with it, he finally opposed their expectations and instead chose a foreign route to indulge himself in. He started playing soccer during middle school and quickly became well-known in his first year of high school as a part of the school's soccer team, but was only picked as a goalkeeper due to his height and strength, so his potential went undeveloped.

Realizing then that to remain unseen meant wasting his time, he along with other players on the sidelines practiced more outside of school, and he specifically excelled as a midfielder, developing impressive reaction times. Then, tragedy struck when he got into a fight with his brother, injuring his right eye. However, despite being in the middle of a long recovery, he was determined to continue playing with his damaged vision; it was then that Anri discovered his versatility as well.

Although Norinobu never played as a striker, his weapon was definitely fit for a striker, considering all of his es contributed to a sure goal. So, investing in exercising his potential, Ego demanded Anri to invite Norinobu to the Blue Lock Project to push him to overcome his disadvantage by using it to his advantage. Maybe then, his ego will grow and motivate him to strike. ║
