My Take
I have such a soft spot for the late bloomers, and Ryo Germain is exactly my kind of story. Picture a 182cm forward out of Atsugi, Kanagawa, who didn't arrive as some teenage golden boy but clawed his way up through the college route at Ryutsu Keizai University and just kept grinding. That's the stuff I love. There's something about a big, physical striker who bullies his way into space and refuses to quit on a lost cause, that "stubborn won't-go-away" energy you can't teach. Watching a guy peak as he closes in on thirty, after years of being a name nobody circled, honestly gives me a little jolt of hope. Life blooms when it blooms. Keep wrecking defenses, Ryo, I'm rooting for you.
