Appearance

Dada towers over most players on a heavily built frame. He has dark skin, brown eyes and black hair worn in dreadlocks, and his physique is exceptionally powerful. That strength extends into the air, where his leaping was enough to beat Jyubei Aryu to a header without any real trouble.

Personality

Like the rest of his World Five colleagues, Dada is steeped in arrogance and quick with an insult. Sizing up Rin Itoshi's side, he sneers that they looked even scrawnier than he had pictured.

Abilities

Dada operates as a forward, and as a seasoned professional for Brazil's national team his pedigree is exactly why Ego chose him for Team World Five, the unit set up to gauge Blue Lock's unrefined strikers. His defining trait is a colossal physique that lets him bully the young hopefuls with ease, out-jumping and out-muscling Aryu away from the ball while heading it and absorbing a full-power tackle from Baro without budging an inch. His aerial reach is just as fearsome, stopping balls in mid-flight with his head. From that base come two heading weapons: the Jumping Header, where he leaps to meet a lofted ball and nods it on for a teammate to finish, and the Raid Dive Header, where he steals a ball out of the air from a rival and hammers it straight into the net.
