Nash Gold Jr., 18-year-old captain and point guard of the American street basketball team Jabberwock, stands 190 cm (6'3") tall and weighs approximately 82-85 kg (181 lbs). He possesses blond wavy hair, sports four earrings (two per ear), and displays a prominent tattoo on his left arm. Off-court, he typically wears a white suit with a red shirt, while his Jabberwock game uniform resembles energy drink branding.
Off the court, Nash exhibits a calm, polite, and outwardly charming demeanor. During gameplay, this polished charm vanishes, replaced by pronounced arrogance, cruelty, and a prejudiced view of Japanese basketball players, whom he derisively calls "monkeys," stemming from his belief in American basketball superiority. He shows marginally more respect to his Jabberwock teammates than to Silver, avoiding mistreating them during passes.
Nicknamed "The Magician" for his irregular movements and erratic plays, Nash's basketball skill surpasses the "Generation of Miracles." His mastery of fundamentals, honed through rigorous training, enables signature techniques. "Streetball Handles" uses high-speed dribbling and feints to create the illusion of the ball vanishing, facilitating deceptive passes like behind-the-back elbow passes without looking. His "No Motion Pass" leverages concealed preparatory movements, making passes appear instantaneous or "teleported," rendering him nearly indefensible; only Akashi's Emperor Eye can predict these actions.
His most formidable ability is the "Demon Eye" (or "Belial Eye"), which predicts the future movements of every player on the court, providing a panoramic view that eliminates blind spots and instantly identifies defensive openings. This surpasses Akashi's Emperor Eye. Nash uses it for specialized techniques: the "Ankle Break" (disrupting balance by exploiting shifts in center of gravity), the "Double Clutch" (faking a dunk/layup to draw fouls while adjusting mid-air to score), and blind-spot-aware passing (releasing the ball without looking at the target – a feat the Emperor Eye cannot replicate). He typically reserves the Demon Eye for critical situations, though Akashi later exposes its flaw: it calculates optimal movements based solely on current positions, lacking adaptability to unforeseen strategies or emotional shifts.
In high-stakes scenarios, Nash shifts from flashy streetball to a "Refined Orthodox Style," eliminating superfluous moves for maximum efficiency, combining technique, speed, and power to overwhelm elite opponents, even dunking on Kagami while he was "in the Zone." His physical prowess includes street-level striking strength, comparable to athletes who break rims or send opponents flying.
Nash's narrative centers on Jabberwock's exhibition match in Japan. After his team crushes Strky, he mocks their skills, provoking Kagetora Aida to form the Vorpal Swords (comprising the Generation of Miracles, Kuroko Tetsuya, and Kagami Taiga) for a rematch. During this game, his arrogance peaks; activating the Demon Eye, he declares "not even God" can defeat him. Despite dominating much of the match, his underestimation of the Vorpal Swords' adaptability, combined with Akashi exploiting the Demon Eye's rigidity, results in Jabberwock's narrow 92-91 defeat.
