Overview
Chigiri considered himself better than everybody else at football. At the age of six, he believed that he had surpassed everyone because of his immense speed. At that time, football was everything for him.
Upon entering high school, he met Junichi and Keisuke Wanima. These brothers were known as the "Double Aces of Rajitsu Tech." During their club orientation, the brothers explained to everyone the hierarchy in the football team. A rookie, Chigiri asked them to skip the formalities and their unnecessary sense of superiority. Chigiri then states that he came to Rajitsu Tech to make it to nationals and make a name for himself. Seeing an unfamiliar face with a seemingly arrogant attitude, the Wanima brothers asked who he was. Chigiri calmly stated his name. Chigiri then challenges these brothers in a match. Chigiri adds that he wants these brothers to "buzz off" if they would lose.
During the match, Chigiri easily outmatched the two with his superior speed and technique. Shortly afterward, Chigiri was made the center forward of the Rajitsu Tech team formation. This change in the lineup pissed the Wanima brothers off even more. The sudden arrival of Chigiri made the Wanima Brothers, the former double aces of the school, discarded. Chigiri, unaffected by their mood, says he does not care about the brothers' feelings. In the end, Chigiri states that it all comes down to whether you have talent or not.
Because of Chigiri's speed, he became the school's top player soon enough. Chigiri also became famous because of his speed, and he appeared in multiple sports magazines and interviews. In one interview, Chigiri says that he thinks he can go further with his skills. He adds, saying that as he plays more games, Chigiri believes he gets closer to his dream to become the world's best striker. Nevertheless, after one match, Chigiri became injured and ends up tearing his ACL.
Although a mild tear, the doctor advises Chigiri to take it easy from now on. Moreover, the doctor tells Chigiri that if another injury happens to his ACL, it may have a detrimental effect on his football career. At worst, Chigiri may never be able to play football ever. This diagnosis shocks and scares Chigiri. While recovering from his injury, Chigiri's supporters and the Wanima brothers began ridiculing him. This upsets Chigiri, and as he starts his rehabilitation, he thinks about everything that has happened and tries to get back to his former glory.
Finally healed, he returns to the Rajitsu Tech team. Nonetheless, Chigiri doesn't display the same outstanding speed he had shown in his previous games. Because of this, the brothers ridicule and taunt Chigirisome. These brothers ask Chigiri if he is afraid of having another injury. This taunting pisses of Chigiri. In his mind, Chigiri says that he is not afraid of another injury. Instead, he is scared to let go of and lose what makes him himself, playing football.
