Shoei Barou in Blue Lock: Complete Profile Guide

[Spoiler Alert] What’s Next for Shoei Barou’s Performance?

■ U-20 Japan Match
Although not selected as a starter, Barou is placed on the bench. He is subbed in during the second half amidst Shidou’s chaotic FLOW-induced performance, replacing Kageya Otoya.

Barou, as a "joker" pre-coordinated with Ego, disrupts both teams with reckless, self-centered "Isagi hunting" plays that throw the field into chaos. His fixation on Isagi allows him to anticipate Rin’s sudden pass to Isagi, intercept it, and score an equalizing goal with a dramatic slide. However, unable to contain his excitement after scoring, Barou removes his jersey in celebration, earning a yellow card for unsportsmanlike conduct—a moment of embarrassment for the self-proclaimed king.

■ Neo Egoist League
Barou selects Italy, a league known for its cunning tactics and emphasis on individual skill. In a match against Spain, Barou scores a hat-trick, securing the highest contract among Blue Lock players at the time, with an annual salary of 100 million yen.

Ahead of the match against Isagi’s Germany team, Barou debuts a bold red streak in his hair, styled with the help of his teammates Aiku and Aryu the night before (as depicted in the colored title page of Chapter 220). Proudly declaring it a "100-million-yen red mesh" to Isagi, Barou’s confidence is met with teasing from nearby players. Oliver remarks that Barou is trying to get "pumped up before facing Isagi," Aryu compares it to a "maiden preparing for a date," and Niko mockingly calls him "Princess Barou" instead of "King."
