Info[]
In the anime, it was used by Orpheus in episode 105, and Inazuma Japan was initially unable to break through the technique. After Fudou and Gouenji told Kidou that Fidio's movies within the technique were extremely similar to Kidou's moves, Kidou was able to break through this tactic. He broke through the formation by predicting Fidio's moves and evading them with an opposing circular motion. It further evolved when Nakata joined, but it was broken again by Kidou, Fudou and Sakuma. This tactic lost to Little Gigant.
Usage[]
A few players on a team form a circle and mark the player on the opposing team, blocking out any possible passes to other players. One player then goes to the center of the circle, spins, and steals the ball from the marked player.
