The counter to innocent, simple-minded first year Tenma: second year Kurama. With sharp eyes peeking out under thick bangs which hide his forehead, he gives off a cynical senpai aura. Especially when Tenma first entered the club and Kurama blamed him for all of the chaos - those narrow eyes would have looked very scary. However, during the Holy Road finals where he protects Tenma at the cost of an injury, while he leaves the pitch he tells Tenma: “I’m counting on you.”. There is warmth within his heart…
On the other hand, the opposite of Kurama as a senpai, the very friendly Kazemaru is secretly troubled by worrying about his limited ability, and these distressing emotions are expressed by hiding one eye.
Finally, Sakuma with his teal hair and eye-patch is a dark beauty with a somewhat sensitive personality. By hiding one eye, these characters express that they’re hiding part of themselves so let’s take a peek at what is deep within their hearts.
