Chapter 46

**TOP 3** is the 46th chapter of Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

Rin Itoshi tosses up the ball nonchalantly, telling Team White to continue the game so he can end their mediocre play time. Seishiro Nagi is confused by Rin's behavior because at the end of the day they are just playing football. Meguru Bachira calls Rin rude and Yoichi Isagi is interested in Rin's way of thinking. The score is 1-1 and continues with Team White in possession. Isagi kicks the ball to Bachira and begins to think that no matter how amazing Rin is individually this is still a 3v3 match. Isagi approaches Rin and notes he will make Rin regret underestimating him. Bachira sees Rin guarding Isagi and decides to send the ball gently in the air to Nagi but marking him is Jyubei Aryu who snatches the ball out of the air with a high vertical jump and controlled headbutt. He sends it Aoshi Tokimitsu and keeps running down the field. Tokimitsu secures the ball and immediately sends it back to Aryu after Bachira rushed him attempting to take the ball. The ball is slightly off course due to Bachira's defense and Isagi picks up the ball but is immediately pressured by Aryu but as he thinks of a way to get the ball away from his goal Aryu uses his superior reach to kick the ball through Isagi's arms and scores a goal that surprises Isagi bringing the score to 2-1.

Isagi notes that the play was unreal. From such a position, Aryu should've collided with Isagi and fouled him but his reach allowed him to not only steal the ball away but kick it with enough force to score a goal. Isagi continues thinking that Aryu has incredible jumping power, and longer limbs than the average Japanese man and that his body should be against the rules. Aryu comments that the most stylish player on the field is him. Isagi apologizes for letting Aryu shoot and Bachira says its okay because they are strong and it means they are worth beating. The game restarts and Isagi passes to Bachira, Isagi asks how they should attack but seeing Nagi marked makes Bachira decide to dribble the ball down himself and in front of him is Tokimitsu scared of Bachira's charge. Tokimitsu stands in front of Bachira scared and unsure of what to do and in that confusion and uncertainty Bachira attempts to move past him but suddenly Tokimitsu bursts forward trying to stop Bachira but he taps the ball past him and moves forward with it but Tokimitsu instantly reacts and moves to pressure Bachira again. Bachira attempts to dribble past him again but Tokimitsu reacts and pressures him again and steals the ball from Bachira. Isagi notes that while Tokimitsu is slow to initially react his explosiveness and agility is crazy and on a whole other level.

Tokimitsu states that he just wants a goal, all he can think about is a goal as he charges towards Isagi. Tokimitsu is moving so fast trying to dodge Isagi that Isagi is unsure where he will go so he attempts to foul him to get him to stop but when he grabs Tokimitsu's shoulder he burst right past Isagi like a bullet made of muscle. Tokimitsu gets in front of the goal and shoots a powerful shot that brings the score to 3-1. As soon as he scored the goal, Tokimitsu went back to his self-deprecating and doubtful self. Aryu and Rin both comment on the performance and Isagi realizes that Rin wasn't the only one on Team Red with an insane weapon. What is even more amazing is that they are playing without even an ounce of teamwork; they are all playing separate from each other but still dominating Team White who is playing completely in sync with one another.

Isagi starts to realize the gap between him and the Top 3 and thinks that as things are now they are going to lose. Just then, Nagi comments and calls the Top 3 amazing and calls football interesting. Nagi exclaims that he is able to see such a view of football because of Isagi and now it's his turn to make things interesting.
