Additional Info:

Popular Fan ThoriesIt is speculated that Ishido, himself, taught Kurosaki how to use his Keshin and Bakunetsu Storm.
Incidentally, his trainer Saginuma Osamu can also learn Ballista Shot, but it’s unclear if this intentionally implies Kurosaki learned the move from him.
He bears similarities to Aphrodi in being based off a God and being a tall, effeminate final boss character.
AppearanceHe is consistently associated with Gods/Titans, as is his entire team. This can be related to how ethereal his design is: having very fair skin, slanted pretty eyes, and thick lashes. His hair is also very long and portrayed as soft and flowing. He is extremely petite and is described as having a “very feminine and delicate” design. A notable characteristic is the white headband he wears, it most likely functions as a sweat band (a type of headband designs to soak up sweat when practicing or playing sports that is later removed and washed).
His nose is lower and given more definition on his face. This is supposed to make him look mature and like his features are starting to fill out more. The visual effect of this tactic makes him feel like a bigger opponent for Raimon bc he seems like he would be older than them, therefore more experienced and more powerful.
Following that, in Japan ‘hana ga takai’ (lit. nose is long) is a compliment given to people with prominent noses, which implies something along the lines of ‘noble nose’ or ‘stylish nose’. Most Japanese naturally have “low noses” (low at the nasal bridge) and may feel that this is an ‘unstylish’ feature.
His shoulders are small but his chest is wide, making his small waist seem to take a dip inward. His lower half seems to be even to the width of his chest, making him seem more even in shape. This is also to exemplify him (visually) as a well-balanced (therefore stronger) opponent.
Name MeaningHis given name “Makoto” means true, pure or just, which could allude to him being a truly perfect soccer player ‘in mind, body and spirit’.
PersonalityHe speaks very formally and is generally very polite.
The amount of other players that you have to recruit before him could be implications of him being a very social person who likes to be surrounded by friends/comrades.
The topic of the Round Table is needed to recruit him in Chrono Stone which implies an interest he has in Romance or even his qualifications to be a knight during the King Aurthur arc of the series.
He is described as having “perfect emotion strength” which could hint to him being very strong willed and level headed.
He is a great sportsman, being focused and enthusiastic about playing in the finals regardless of the scores. He also faces Tenma before the match and is very respectful despite the revolution and what Tenma is fighting for.
Popular Tropes Associated with this CharacterPure Is Not Good: In Japanese Media, this trope is likely rooted in the philosophical concept of “Makoto”, which loosely means "pure (heart/mind/soul/motives)”. It basically means a mind free of distractions, unnecessary thoughts, doubts, or fallacies and is mostly used in context of hard work, loyalty, determination, and intense emotion. “Makoto”, while considered a “good” thing, is not limited to good intentions. Their dedication is “pure”; their goals, not so much.
This trope is solely for “pure of heart” where purity does not necessarily denote goodness.
