Summary
Afuro Terumi, or Byron Love, was the captain and forward of Zeus Jr. High in the first game of Inazuma Eleven, under the guise of Aphrodi (or Aphrodite). Under Kageyama, Zeus Jr was an overwhelming dominant team that had easily got to the finals of the tournament, easily defeating Raimon's rivals Teikoku Gakuen in a humiliating score. Like the rest of Zeus Jr, Aphrodi had taken the God's Aqua, a special drug apart of Kageyama's 'Project Z' which enhanced his abilities to god-like levels.
Afuro returns in Season 2, no longer using the God's Aqua and regretful of his actions, to join Raimon and their fight against Aliea Academy briefly, though gets injured before the team can face Genesis. He then returns in Season 3, revealing he is on the Korean team Fire Dragon that is set to face Inazuma Japan in the prelimiary finals, for the right to face the rest of the world.
Afuro returns in GO as the coach of Kidokawa Seishuu. Despite working under Fifth Sector, Afuro would remain in good-will against Raimon, playing a fair game with Raimon and protecting Kidokawa from destroying themselves with their dysfunctional team.

Attack Potency: At least Multi-City Block level+ with Gods Aqua (Easily defeated Teikoku Gakuen within minutes of the match[5], who were the 40-year reigning champions of the Football Frontier. A casual shot from Afuro had almost knocked out Endou, and made it hard for him to stand[1], Could initially overwhelm Raimon throughout their match, to which Endou had to figure out Majin the Hand in order to stop God Knows.[6]), likely higher (While irritated at Endou’s tenacity, Aphrodi was able to break the known limits of God’s Aqua, piquing Kageyama’s interest at the new revelation.[6]) | At least Town level (Had gotten much stronger than in Season 1 without God’s Aqua[7] and was comparable to Gouenji, His God Knows Kai broke through Chaos’ Goalkeeper Ooiwa Kurando’s Burnout[8], Capable of playing on par and impressing the likes of Burn and Gazel), likely higher | At least Town level (Much stronger than before and able to play on the world level, Able to easily compete with Inazuma Japan and broke through Tachimukai's Mugen the Hand G5 with God Break[9], Contributed ⅓ of the power in Chaos Break, which broke through Endou’s Seigi no Tekken G5.[10]), likely higher

Heaven’s Time can possibly be nullified with a strong one-tracked mind (See Note) | None notable (No longer relies on God’s Aqua) | None Notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- God Knows: Afuro's signature Shoot Hissatsu, where he grows white wings and flies up into the sky with the ball. He unleashes an electric white energy around with his wings, and once fully charged, kicks it at full power towards the goal. It was the strongest shot of Zeus Jr during the Football Frontier, only being able to be stopped by Endou's Majin the Hand, however it was later used in Season 2 to break through Diamond Dust’s goalkeeper, as well as Season 3, though was blocked by Tachimukai’s Mugen the Hand G5.
- God Break: The evolved version of God Knows revealed in the match against Fire Dragon, where Afuro sprouts glowing yellow wings, and charges up an even more intense yellow energy towards the goal. This move was capable of breaking through Tachimukai's Mugen the Hand G5, but was stopped by Endou's Seigi no Tekken G5.
- Heaven's Time: A dribble hissatsu where Afuro clicks his fingers, seemingly stopping time in order to easily get past his opponent. He then clicks his fingers again to start time back, creating a strong gust of wind from where he walked to blow enemies away. Afuro used this to easily get past the whole Raimon team during their match with Zeus Jr, as well as in S2 to get past most players from Diamond Dust (Though Nepper was seemingly able to resist this hissatsu)[12]. See Note.
- Chaos Break: A combination shoot hissatsu with Nagumo and Suzuno, done by combining Fire Blizzard and God Break in order to shoot the ball with an intense mix of fire, ice and light. This move was able to break through Endou's Seigi no Tekken G5 (which could stop God Break), and had forced him to develop Ikari no Tetsui in order to stop it. This was considered as Fire Dragon's strongest hissatsu.
Note: In the alternate timeline series, Inazuma Eleven Orion no Kokuin, it was explained by Zhao Jinyun that Heaven’s Time worked as hypnosis, which only simulated time being stopped to whomever had fallen under it[13], though this might not reflect how it works in the original series. Heaven’s Time in the games was regarded as directly stopping time, and had shown to been able to stop hissatsu tactics midway,[6] which would support the original notion. Despite this, Netsuha Natsuhiko had inexplicably been able to overcome Heaven’s Time in the original series[12], which would support Orion’s explanation of the technique. Due to this, it is subjective on how this move is treated in terms of discussion.
