In its hunt for Japan’s potential World Cup-winning striker, Jinpachi Ego’s Blue Lock brought the country’s most talented young footballers under one roof. Perhaps one of its most prized and stand-out finds has been Ryusei Shido, the hot-headed and innovative striker who loves to play the game on his own terms.
It should not come as a surprise, then, that Shido goes on to make such a huge impact on the Blue Lock project. While other players at the facility are also talented, Ryusei stands out because of a unique combination of skills and physical attributes that allow him to consistently outperform his peers.

Filippo Inzaghi-Like Spatial Awareness in the Penalty Area
Shido is the Best Player in the Penalty Area
Close
Italian striker Filippo Inzaghi is an exceptional player who had the extraordinary talent of positioning himself perfectly in the penalty box, which allowed him to make the most of every scoring opportunity that came his way. His reactions were aligned accurately with the play around him, making him a difficult player for the defenders to counter. What made him an even more dangerous footballer was his innate talent to stay focused during intense moments in the match when even the best would tend to falter.
Anyone who can’t keep up with my explosions can just die
Much of Filippo’s goal-scoring talent can be attributed to his incredible spatial awareness, something Shido thrives at. The Blue Lock striker is a defender’s nightmare because his awareness is heightened towards the goal at all times. Unlike playmakers like Sae, Bachira, and Hiori, Ryusei’s perception is geared toward attacking the goal. He becomes almost impossible to stop, especially when he is playing in the penalty area.
Shido is arguably Blue Lock’s best player inside the 18-yard box. His best goals have come in this zone, and, much like Filippo, Ryusei possesses an innate talent to read the game that uncovers the slightest tactical defensive lapses. It should not come as a surprise that he is the best goal-scorer at Blue Lock, who goes on to make his mark in the Neo Egoist League as well.
Powerful Drive Shots
Ryusei’s Go-to Goal-Scoring Method
Close
Ryusei Shido is a ruthless striker who is willing to put his body on the line to net the ball. Perhaps his biggest strength when it comes to scoring goals is the drive shots that he consistently relies on for their precision and power. These long-range shots are almost impossible to stop and give Ryusei an incredible scope of scoring that is hard to contain. Drive shots primarily rely on his impressive reflexes, physicality, and positioning, which is hard to replicate even for someone like Reo, whose Chameleon playing style tries to emulate other players’ unique skills with remarkable accuracy.

Ryusei has executed powerful drive shots from a multitude of positions that add to their overall unpredictability factor. Defenders are often left off-guard and confused when Shido suddenly unleashes a direct shot at the goal out of nowhere. Another danger that rivals find themselves contending with is the power and precision with which they are executed. Ryusei is able to adjust to any angle or distance to unleash the drive shot, making it difficult to predict his next move.
What’s the word for that again? ‘Sportsmanship?’ Whatever you call that outdated kumbaya-loving bull chit? You see, to me, football’s not just fun and games. It’s the very act of living, an explosion of life, you could say. Let’s have at it, hero. You won’t find anyone as fair or as in love with football as me, you know?
One of the best versions of the drive shot is the no-look goal, wherein Ryusei takes an instinctive shot with his back to the goal. This move is even hard to pull off for professional footballers, but Shido is able to execute it with remarkable accuracy, which speaks volumes about his skill as a striker. Since the no-look shot is taken suddenly, defenders are left dumbfounded and ill-prepared to offer any counter.
During the game between Japan’s U20 team and Blue Lock Eleven, Ryusei reveals the Dragon Drive, another version of the drive shot. The talented striker relies on Sae’s excellence to put himself in a better position, following which he tricks the opposing defender. He then goes on to make the drive shot after a jumping volley. The Dragon Drive is powerful, and, despite being executed from a distance, it is fast enough to net the ball. The drive shots have many variations, and they are Ryusei’s go-to weapon regardless of circumstances. Shido has relied on them in difficult situations and has managed to pull-off some of the most incredible goals.

Shido Becomes Invincible in the Flow State
Close
Ryusei Shido is one of the few Blue Lock footballers who has achieved the flow state. In the zoned-in condition, the players are able to bring out the best in them and demonstrate world-class skills with unparalleled creativity and accuracy. When Shido is in the flow state, his spatial awareness peaks, and his positioning becomes irrelevant as he is able to pull off a brilliant move called the Big Bang Drive. However, for this to happen, Ryusei must be pushed to his limit by the defenders, which occurs during the game between Blue Lock Eleven and the Japan U20 team.

With the condition for Ryusei’s flow state achieved, he explodes with excitement as the goal becomes his sole focus. He then effortlessly executes a long-range bicycle kick, without adjusting his positioning, to net the ball and leave the audience and both teams in awe. The high-stake circumstance in which the goal is scored is comparable to that of Ronaldo’s somewhat similar goal in the 2018 UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Juventus. Since that goal is considered one of Cristiano’s top career goals, Ryusei’s ability to execute something identical in real match scenario and from a longer distance cements his status as an extraordinary talent.

Only a few Blue Lock players can beat Shido at his best when it comes to acceleration. He has shown that he maintains a very high speed even when he is dribbling past rival defenders. While his other skills stand out more, Ryusei’s acceleration deserves more praise.
If you can’t break others, how can you possibly react with an explosion?
In addition to his unmatched speed, Shido is also gifted with incredible reflexes that give him more time to react to drastic shifts in the game’s dynamics. This naturally keeps him one step ahead of everyone on the field and also provides him with the added layer of unpredictability, which makes him so special.
While talking about Ryusei’s overall technique, skills, and physical attributes, it is tough to not mention his extraordinary strength. He appears to have worked extremely hard on his physique, and it undoubtedly benefits him on the field as he masterfully uses it to his advantage. Ryusei Shido’s spatial awareness, powerful drive shots, remarkable physicality, and bicycle kicks make him a formidable opponent on the field who is difficult to contain. There is no doubt that he is Japan’s future football superstar.
