Orion Stephanopoulos

Orion's most distinctive feature is his fluffy hairstyle, which is particularly thick in the back.

This unique hairdo unexpectedly proved to be a lifesaver, cushioning him from a decisive blow during a critical match.

Orion is a skilled doubles player who faithfully follows his older brother, Aporon.

He possesses a cruel streak and prefers long, drawn-out matches where he can sadistically torture his opponents.

However, his confidence is brittle and depends heavily on his brother's presence.

When he witnessed Aporon's defeat, Orion became so terrified that he could barely play, tripping over his own feet in fear.

He is a descendant of the Stephanopoulos clan, a notorious family of executioners.

Along with his brother, Orion carries on this dark legacy through his tennis, utilizing their family's unique "Greek-style execution methods."

Playstyle

Orion is a talented All-Rounder who shines as a doubles specialist, working in perfect sync with his brother.

Special Moves

Orion is a master of his family's 999 Greek-style execution methods.

These techniques are designed not just to win points, but to physically and mentally break his opponents.

• Greek Execution Method CMXIII (913): Smashing of the Votive Plates

A brutal shot aimed directly at the opponent's kneecap to shatter it.

• Greek Execution Method CDXXVII (427): Monday's Kite Flying

Another of the clan's torturous techniques used to torment his foes.

• Greek Execution Method DLXIV (564): Black Panther Over and Over

A relentless attack designed to wear down and punish the opponent.

Aporon Stephanopoulos

Aporon is Orion's older brother and doubles partner. Orion is deeply loyal to him, following his lead in their matches and affectionately calling him "brother."

Older Sister

Orion has stated that his preferred type of person is his own older sister.

His hobbies include clay pigeon shooting, a pastime that complements his sharp and precise skills on the court.

His favorite food is pomegranate, a fruit with deep roots in Greek mythology.

"The Eastern execution methods are nothing to be afraid of, are they, brother!!"

U-17 World Cup: Match Against Japan

During the U-17 World Cup group stage, Orion and his brother Aporon were pitted against Japan's Atsukyō Tōno and Akaya Kirihara in the D1 match.

Initially, the brothers struggled, losing the first four games as they endured Tōno's own "Eastern execution methods."

The tide turned when Tōno, who held a strange respect for the Stephanopoulos executioner clan, lost his composure.

Seizing the opportunity, Orion unleashed "Smashing of the Votive Plates," a vicious shot that shattered Tōno's kneecap and nearly took him out of the game.

With Tōno crippled, the Stephanopoulos brothers went on the offensive, tormenting him with moves like "Monday's Kite Flying" and "Black Panther Over and Over."

They quickly evened the score by taking the next four games in a brutal display.

However, a battered but determined Tōno fought through the pain, relentlessly landing all 13 of his own execution methods on Aporon.

This culminated in Aporon's "execution," leaving him paralyzed and unable to move a single finger.

Witnessing his brother's horrifying defeat, Orion was struck with paralyzing fear, tripping and becoming unable to return the ball properly.

Tōno moved in to deliver a "Kaishaku" (coup de grâce), but the blow was absorbed by Orion's fluffy hair, saving him from the same fate as his brother.

Despite surviving, he was left helpless. A single word from Tōno then triggered Akaya Kirihara's "demonization," and the powered-up player easily overwhelmed the terrified Orion, securing victory for Japan.
