Shoei Baro is one of Isagi's toughest rivals in the Blue Lock story. He has a very selfish nature and always thinks of himself as the king of the field. In addition, he also has interesting abilities that make him a great player.
In this article, MogiMogy has summarized a list of Shoei Baro's greatest abilities in the Blue Lock story. What are they? Check out the full discussion below!
1. Physical Strength
The first aspect that becomes Baro's advantage is physical strength. He is a Blue Lock player who has a muscular and trained physique. It is not surprising because Baro always do exercises regularly.
Baro also often relies on his physical strength to dominate opponents while on the field. With his physical strength, he can also create a special space for himself in kicking the ball.
2. Dribbling
Besides being superior in terms of physical strength, Baro has great ability in terms of dribble alias dribbling. This is often shown by Baro in the story, especially when Team Isagi fought Team Reo in the Second Selection.
Baro is able to use various techniques and feints to break through the opponent's defenses. When he's in serious mode, he's even able to get past several opposing players at once without difficulty.
3. Nutmeg
Nutmeg is a maneuver technique commonly used by players when dribbling the ball. The technique allows the player to pass the enemy through the gap between the opponent's legs.
Baro shows that he can use the nutmeg technique very skillfully. When Baro is serious about using this technique, he can at least get past the two players who are blocking him.
4. Middle Shot
Baro is the type of player who can kick and score goals from mid-range on the field. Usually, he will shoot at the opponent's goal within about 29 meters so that his shot can be accurate.
If Baro is outside that distance, the accuracy of his kicks can decrease. Baro usually targets the top right corner of the goal. However, he can also change the direction of his kick according to the situation.
5. Villainous Soccer
Baro developed a unique playing style called Villainous Soccer. Baro's playing style is very selfish and unpredictable on the field. He not only snatches the ball from opponents, but he doesn't hesitate to “devour” his teammates.
What is clear, Baro's main focus is to steal the ball from other players and score for himself. Even though this style of play makes no sense, Baro can become an ace for the team in emergency situations, such as when he played against the U-20 Japan national team.
6. Chop Feint
Chop Feint is one of Baro's most effective techniques to deceive opponents. When using this technique, he will dribble the ball with a trick move that is difficult to predict.
Opponents will be confused in determining the direction of the ball that is dribbled by Baro. This technique is usually used by Baro as a support technique when he tries to penetrate the opponent's defense.
7. Lightning Dribble
Lightning Dribble is a ball dribbling technique mastered by Baro. The technique is somewhat complicated because Baro must dribble continuously without stopping and passing opponents one by one.
Baro's movement is very fast and difficult for the opponent to stop. He also often shows it when he plays on the field. This technique can be considered as evidence of the villain's playing style.
8. Sliding Shot
Baro's next strongest ability is Sliding Shot. When using this technique, Baro will maneuver and move at a certain point until he can reach the pass and kick at the same time.
Baro's physical strength is an important key that makes this technique effective. He first showed it when he competed against the U-20 Japan National Team. He was able to score while facing Miroku Darai and Kazuma Nio.
9. Stealth Kill Shot
Stealth Kill Shot is one of Baro's strongest techniques which he mastered only after he joined the Ubers team. This technique allows Baro to score goals surreptitiously in a crowd of players.
When using this technique, his teammates will attack the opponent's defense line together. The momentum is utilized by Baro as well as possible. He managed to break down the Bastard Munich goal with this technique.
10.Predator Eye
Baro still has one ultimate technique called Predator Eye. Vision has a way of working the opposite of Metavision. If Metavision widens the user's vision range, Predator Eye makes the user's vision narrower and more focused.
Baro focuses his eyes on goal so he can increase his chances of scoring. He will be patient and wait for the right moment. Once he gets the chance, he'll unleash his Stealth Kill Shot.
