Description
Suzuno Fuusuke, also known by his Aliea Academy name Gazel, is a talented forward and a former captain of the elite team Diamond Dust. He is a young athlete with a slender build, fair skin, and distinct teal-colored eyes. His most recognizable feature is his light gray or blue-white hair, which is neatly swept towards the left side of his face. He has a habit of pulling up the sleeves of his uniform and often combs his hair back with his fingers when thinking or irritated.
His personality is typically calm and composed, but this exterior hides a cold and fiercely competitive heart. He is highly confident in his own exceptional abilities on the field and can come across as arrogant. His demeanor is often the direct opposite of his rival and partner, Nagumo Haruya, who is more hot-headed and passionate. However, this arrogance is not absolute; after joining the Korean national team Fire Dragon, he shows a clear softening, becoming less hostile and more friendly, even greeting opponents in a noticeably warmer tone than before.
Suzuno's motivations evolve throughout his appearances. Initially, as a captain of Aliea Academy, he is driven by a desire to prove his team's absolute strength, going so far as to threaten to destroy Tokyo to force a match with Raimon. He is a genius player who dislikes losing and holds a deep-seated resentment towards Hiroto Kiyama, the captain of the superior Genesis team. This resentment leads him to form an unlikely alliance with his rival Nagumo, creating the combined team Chaos to demonstrate their power. Later, his motivation shifts from destructive dominance to a more focused athletic ambition, as he is scouted by Aphrodi to join Fire Dragon in its quest for the Football Frontier International. He still harbors a strong desire to win but competes on a more regulated and sportsmanlike world stage.
In the story, Suzuno first appears as a formidable antagonist in the second season, serving as the captain of Diamond Dust. After a match against Raimon ends in a draw, he and Nagumo are punished by being barred from playing. They defy this by combining their teams to form Chaos, creating a powerful and coordinated force that pushes the Raimon team to its limits. In the third season, his role shifts to that of a rival competitor as a key forward for Fire Dragon. In this context, he fights not for alien conquest but for national pride in an international tournament.
His key relationships significantly define his character. The most important is his dynamic with Nagumo Haruya, or Burn. They constantly argue and detest each other's personalities, yet they are able to combine their ice and fire abilities to create a powerful joint hissatsu, Fire Blizzard, and work together seamlessly on the field. They are a classic example of rivals who push each other to be stronger. He also shares a notable connection with Aphrodi, who recruits him for Fire Dragon. Together with Nagumo, the three form the devastating combination move Chaos Break. His relationship with his former rival, Hiroto, remains tense, marked by a desire to surpass him.
Suzuno exhibits notable development from his first appearance to his last. He begins as a ruthless and emotionally cold alien player, comfortable with intimidation and threats. After his alliance with Nagumo, he shows a willingness to cooperate with a rival to achieve a common goal. By the time he plays for Fire Dragon, he has grown significantly, shedding much of his earlier cruelty and arrogance to become a more grounded, respectful, and focused athlete who simply wants to prove his skill at the highest level of the sport.
In terms of abilities, Suzuno is an exceptionally gifted forward. He is associated with ice and wind, and his most famous individual hissatsu technique is Northern Impact, a powerful shot that encases the ball in ice, turning it into a glacier-like projectile. He can also use Water Veil, a defensive tactic that summons geysers of water. His most potent offensive power comes from his cooperative techniques: the dual-element Fire Blizzard performed with Nagumo, and the triple attack Chaos Break performed with Nagumo and Aphrodi. He is known for his preference for cold environments and has a noted weakness for hot places. Unlike many of his Aliea Academy teammates, his physical appearance does not change when he stops using the Aliea stone's power.
