I feel like the biggest misunderstanding about Reo’s character is that he doesn’t understand Blue Lock or is naturally not able / doesn’t want to adapt to that environment. It’s just not true. A chameleon is a perfect metaphor for adaptability. That’s not where the problem is His novel shows us that he’s a “natural-born emperor”, who isn’t the one to “have a flimsy train of thought”. He faces misfortunes and immediately comes up with rational decisions. The plan to get where he is now in terms of skills was made by Reo alone.

First matches of V & Z teams are yet another Reo & Isagi parallel, but there’s also an interesting difference in their points of view! Both matches begin with Reo & Isagi starting the game after Nagi & Bachira passed to them: (Side note: Isagi is nervous while Reo is very confident).
They notice how everyone is charging in at the same time
