Lore & Background
No character named Zaza appears in the No Game No Life series. The claims of a Dwarven strategist aligned with the Blank Faction are entirely invented and have no basis in the official story.
In Their Own Story
On 2 July 2016, during the Euro 2016 quarter-final against Germany, Zaza was brought on in the last few seconds of extra-time to take a penalty in the resulting shoot-out. He subsequently missed after a bizarre trot up to the ball, as Italy were defeated 6–5 and eliminated. After the match, Zaza issued an apology: 'I am sorry to have let the Italian people down. I missed the most important penalty of my life and I will carry this burden with me forever ... I have always taken penalties like that and I was convinced I would score, I had sent him [Manuel Neuer] the wrong way but the ball set off and it went like that.' Earlier in the tournament, on 17 June, he came off the bench to set up Éder's match-winning goal against Sweden in the 88th minute, which qualified Italy to the Round of 16.

His attributes include physical strength, offensive movement, heading accuracy, and positional sense, which contribute to his effectiveness in the air. His goals against prominent clubs while playing for Sassuolo earned him a reputation as an 'ammazza grandi,' or 'giant killer.'

At Valencia, on 19 September 2017, he scored a hat-trick in under 10 minutes of a 5–0 home win over Málaga. He was named La Liga Player of the Month for September 2017.
