Tabito Karasu

"If you're surrounded with all your special buddies, you could be able to synergize. But on your own… your coordination is nothing but mediocre. I guess watching all those VTR videos had results after all. I'm gonna crush you and your team."

**Tabito Karasu** (烏 旅人(からすたびと), *Karasu Tabito*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, and member of the **Kanto Manji Gang** and he is a major supporting character of the **Blue Lock**.

## Personality

Karasu tends to look down on people he find 'mediocre'. He is wary of his surroundings and is able to control and produce chemical reactions with those around him. He is intelligent, but has a sharp tongue and never misses a chance to insult someone, whether friend or foe. He has his own rules that he forces upon others to make matches go as planned. He dislikes it when anything goes wrong even if it doesn't make a big difference so it looks to others like he is always complaining.

During the U-20 match, Karasu showed his leadership ability on defense, often communicating with the other defensive players to strategize against the quickly incoming U-20 players. He commands players like Yo Hiori and Kenyu Yukimiya in terms of attacking and defending, even if the players are aware of what to do. He also is willing to use every advantage at his disposal, shown when he asked the referee to card Ryusei Shido for happening to kick Rin Itoshi in the face.

## Character Design

Karasu is a tall and lean young man with dark blue hair with a spiky purple top and has a mole under his left eye. He also has blue eyes. His appearance is supposed to somewhat resemble a crow.

In Blue Lock, Karasu wears the standard issued body suit (black with gray stripes) and tracksuit. During Second Selection, he wore Team Red's #69 jersey and wore Team B's #69 white jersey during the Third Selection. Only once the Japan U20 match begins does he don the official blue Blue Lock player uniform with the jersey #6. During the Neo Egoist League, he wears PXG's uniform.

## Abilities and Equipment

### Archetype

* **Mobile Striker**: A striker that benefits from the space behind the opposing defensive line. Often reached with long balls from central defenders or defense splitting through balls from creative midfielders. The mobile striker is often a highly technical and dynamic player, who distinguishes himself in one-on-one duels with a last defender or goalkeeper. A mobile striker is often used to exploit fast transition phases from defense to offense.

### Skills

* **Rigid Dribbling**: In contrast with Bachira’s technical dribbling, Yukimiya’s dribbling relies on his own physique, to push past opponents with power and speed.

* **1-on-1 Emperor Style**: Yukimiya’s core style involves bringing a confrontation to the individual level, where he can use his rigid dribbling to get past his opponents in succession. He has shown that he can overcome Rin and then Shido whilst doing this, proclaiming that in a 1v1 he is the strongest player in Japan (although this was likely a boast). Reo mentioned that Yukimiya was a hardcore infighter, with his physique being key to his dribbling ability. It is suggested that, at least within Blue Lock, there is no player he cannot dribble past. However, this style can be countered by simply bringing the encounter back to a 2-on-1, as shown when Rin used Igarashi to overcome Yukimiya’s dribbling.

* **Drag Scissors**: Yukimiya performs a scissor feint to shift his opponent’s center of gravity, before using his explosive speed to break past them.
* ***La Boba***: A feint that uses the sole of the foot. Yukimiya is able to use this to break past an opponent.

* **Gyro-Shot**: This is a high shot, with incredible spin, allowing it to drop sharply in midair, while moving to the outside. When Yukimiya used this shot, it was very nearly going to score, if not for Aryu and Nagi reading its path. Based on what Reo said, its range is at least 30 meters.

* **Flow State**: Flow, as described by Ego, is the state of “total immersion” or “being in the zone”. It is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
Yukimiya entered the flow state, whilst resorting to his street dribbling during the U-20 match, enabling him to break through their defense and launch a gyro shot, quickly changing his aim at the last second.

* **Street Football Style**: In contrast to his usual 1-on-1 style, when Yukimiya accesses the flow state, he can dribble with more precise movements, cutting into the spaces between both friends and foe. Through focus and analysis, Yukimiya can determine the best route to take in order to penetrate the defense, yet still adapt his decision-making, running through people as if dodging obstacles in the street.
	+ ***La Croqueta***: A feint that knocks the ball one way with one foot, then the other way with the other. This can be used to feint going outside before cutting, or vice versa. Yukimiya can use this technique multiple times in succession whilst at full speed.

## Story

### Original

Holy attends a Prayer Council via transmission with her fellow Oración Seis Interstellar members where she remarks that Justice is a stickler for rules and laments that someone had defeated Drakken Joe before they got the chance. When Justice immediately volunteers to pursue and apprehend Elsie Crimson who arrived at the Aoi Cosmos where her fellow Oración Seis Galáctica member, Poseidon Nero resides, Holy teases him for being in love with the space pirate which flies over his head. Afterward, they pray and end their Prayer Council.
