However, Aiku warns that if Sendou is sidelined, most of the team will boycott the match.

■Oliver Aiku
In Episode 30 of Blue Lock, we witness the arrival of Sae Itoshi, a world-renowned player known for his incredible talent and sharp tongue. Sae’s arrogant attitude causes tension right from the start as he openly looks down on the U-20 Japan team. The meeting of the selected players becomes charged with an uneasy atmosphere, especially as Sae clashes with Shuto Sendou, a key member of the team.

However, it is the team captain, Oliver Aiku, who steps up to defuse the situation. Demonstrating excellent leadership, Aiku manages to keep the team’s morale intact, effectively guiding them through a critical moment. His presence and ability to control the tension highlight his role as a captain and provide a glimpse into the strategies the U-20 team might use in the face of Sae’s provocations.

Following this incident, when Ego announces the Blue Lock Top 11, he also reveals a shocking fact to the players.
