Description
Jun Misugi serves as a central figure, first introduced as captain of Musashi elementary school's football team. Recognized as a "football genius" with skill and vision rivaling Tsubasa Ozora, his early career is defined by a congenital heart condition. This secret, known only to manager Yayoi and the coach, restricts his playing time. Despite this, he competes fully in the elementary national tournament semifinal against Nankatsu, delivering an outstanding performance that nearly causes collapse. Though Musashi loses 5-4, he expresses fulfillment competing against Tsubasa.
He undergoes two years of rehabilitation supported by Yayoi, returning in middle school with a strict 30-minute match limit. His condition forces another collapse during the Tokyo prefecture final against Toho, though he manages a final defensive effort before substitution. Unable to advance, he later becomes assistant coach for the Japan Junior Youth team, contributing key tactics like repositioning Matsuyama as a defender during international tournaments. He also participates as a substitute against Argentina and France, noting gradual improvement in his cardiac health.
Throughout high school, he abstains from competitive play for three years to focus on recovery while advising the Japan Youth team. He eventually returns as a player, reinventing himself as a libero to accommodate the team's midfield depth, inspired by Italian footballer Baresi. In the Asian World Youth qualifiers, he scores a crucial equalizer against Thailand using his Drive Shot. His tactical intelligence proves vital in later matches, including understanding Tsubasa's Skydive Shot against Mexico. He subsequently joins J1 League club FC Tokyo as a right midfielder, demonstrating adaptability in professional play.
Selected for Japan's Olympic team, he forms part of the "three Ms" alongside Misaki and Matsuyama, entrusted with team strategy during Asian qualifiers. His health remains a concern; in the Olympics match against Germany, he attempts to block Schneider's Fire Shot and suffers cardiac arrest, requiring on-field CPR from Tsubasa. After reviving, he negotiates to continue playing under medical supervision and assists in key plays during extra time. The injury sidelines him for the subsequent match against Spain, though he provides defensive guidance from the sidelines. Throughout his career, he balances football with medical studies, aiming to emulate Brazilian player Sócrates. His relationship with Yayoi evolves, with discussions about marriage emerging, though his health continues to pose challenges.
