Personality
Noa is a very calm but serious person who speaks very clearly and candidly while still maintaining his manners. He is described by fellow football colleagues as a cyborg because of his profoundly serious and non-expressive demeanor. He does not enjoy his players acting superior to others and regards it as childish. Noa admits that he does not take into consideration intangible factors like impressions or emotion but only a player's numbers and the results that come from those numbers when picking his team, but if he is inclined to play a player due to their popularity and any contracts he is beholden to, then he will forsake his earlier judgment.
Having grown up poor in the slums of France, Noa has taken his football very seriously from a young age, as it was the only way for him to change his life. Born with nothing, Noa's hunger grew immensely; hence, he dedicated every moment of his life to transforming his future by winning football matches. Among his fellow world-class players, Noa's serious demeanor is seen as annoying by his more expressive and reckless colleagues, as he disregards them and their claims of being the best.
Noa holding a cold and serious attitude does not mean he is not willing to properly advise and teach his players, especially when they ask him for help, as seen with Isagi. As a coach, he is direct and strict when it comes to training his players, refusing to let anyone play if they don't prove themselves to be truly worthy or take the opportunities to improve their skills.
He has proven to be manipulative, as all his instructions and guidance toward Isagi were merely for his own benefit; he used the "Heart of Blue Lock" to push Kaiser into discovering his buried ego. His sole purpose for entering the Neo Egoist League was to evolve Kaiser into a strong enough opponent to make himself stronger by defeating him in the future. At his core, Noa is entirely selfish, as everything he does with his teammates, rivals, and potential rivals is for his exclusive benefit, to the point that Michael Kaiser describes him as a "football junkie", someone who desires nothing but to face stronger opponents and continuously evolve from the challenges. Unlike most professional strikers, Noa never aimed to become the world's best striker; he simply aimed to live his football life on his own terms without shame.
Despite his manipulative traits, Noa has shown himself capable of giving recognition when warranted, as he identified and respected one of Blue Lock's top strikers, Yoichi Isagi, as a genuine contender for his title as the "World's Best Striker" after Isagi openly dared him to outshine him in the forthcoming PIFA World Cup.
