Shun Nitta emerges as a formidable forward for Otomo Middle School, challenging Tsubasa Ozora’s Nankatsu squad in regional qualifiers for the National Tournament. Renowned for blistering speed and agility, his signature Peregrine Falcon Shot evolves mid-game during a critical clash against Nankatsu into the No Trap Running Volley Peregrine Falcon Shot, overcoming defensive pressure after initial struggles against Tsubasa’s marking. This mid-match refinement secures a pivotal equalizer, showcasing his adaptability under pressure. Sporting shoulder-length dark brown hair, sharp tsurime eyes, and a distinctive fang, his lean physique is tailored for speed. Though perceived as physically fragile, he compensates with sharp field intelligence, strategically luring defenders to carve openings for precise through balls. Transitioning to Nankatsu High School post-middle school, he steps into the vacancy left by Tsubasa’s departure, helping sustain the team’s dominance. His clinching Peregrine Falcon Shot ends Nankatsu’s three-year Shizuoka prefecture reign, cementing his impact. Advancing through national tiers and Japan’s Junior Youth team, he competes in international friendlies and the Europe Campaign. A World Youth training camp exclusion exposes a critical flaw: overreliance on his right foot. Through tire-kicking drills and weightlifting, he cultivates ambidextrous prowess, later scoring a left-footed Jumping Peregrine Falcon Volley in a rematch against Real Japan 7. As a professional, he joins Kashiwa Reysol and Sao Paulo under coach Joao, honing techniques like the Artistic Dribble and securing five consecutive hat-tricks. While occasionally drawing parallels to strikers like Kojiro Hyuga, his path navigates setbacks, including a brief national team refusal to prioritize club performance with Campione. Spin-offs and game adaptations explore divergent paths: inventing the Falcon Claw shot in *Captain Tsubasa IV*’s Route C or joining Campione in *Captain Tsubasa V*, testing alternate strategies to surpass Tsubasa. These remain distinct from core canon. Key alliances include a dojo partnership with Ken Wakashimazu, rooted in shared martial arts discipline, and collaborations with teammates like Ishizaki and Misaki, fostering his technical evolution. His journey underscores relentless adaptation, merging natural speed with meticulous skill development to secure his position as Japan’s secondary striker behind Hyuga.
