Chapter 151

**"Changing World"** (変 (か) わる世 (せ) 界 (かい) , *Kawaru Sekai*?) is the second chapter of the 18th volume and the 151st chapter overall of the *Blue Lock* manga series, written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura.

## Overview

Blue Lock Eleven wins against the Japan U-20 team in a bowling match, but Isagi has to leave early to meet Tada, a high school friend. On the way to meet him, Isagi encounters a young boy who aspires to be him someday. When he meets Tada, they talk about the match against the Japan U-20 and Isagi's lucky ending goal.

## Summary

Chigiri bowls a spare, making the battle between the Japan U-20 and Blue Lock players neck-and-neck. Darai recites a prayer before bowling a strike, and Team Blue Lock worries about their potential loss. Everyone then cheers for Nagi, who is exhausted from being hungry and sweaty, as their final throw. Suddenly, he trips on his feet and lets go of the ball on accident, but miraculously bowls a strike and saves his team from losing.

Their cheers attract the attention of a group of girls, who recognize them as the football players from the recent match between the Japan U-20 and Blue Lock Eleven. While the rest continue their celebration, Otoya and Sendo entertain the women while Aiku calls for another round. However, Isagi excuses himself early to meet a friend.

At the train station, Isagi meets a family of three, whose son became his fan after the game against Japan U-20. The boy praises his performance and asks if he can shake his hand. Isagi heeds his request. Before Isagi leaves for the train, the boy tells him that he will do his best to become like him one day. As the train left, Isagi thought to himself that his goal had changed the world.

He later meets Tada, a former teammate from Ichinan High School. He calls Isagi an overnight hero of Japanese football and continues to praise his success. Suddenly, he talks about his final goal in the latest match and praises him for scoring it out of pure luck. Tada continues that, if only he were a contender for the Blue Lock Project, he would have already been a hero due to luck. Isagi is dismayed by this and reflects that it is he who has changed because of Blue Lock and not the world.

At the Blue Lock Headquarters, Ego speaks with international investors about the project's Phase 2, a massive-scale entertainment project supposedly involving the whole world. With this, he believes that he will create the world's best striker.

Sae Itoshi/Relationships

## Family

### Rin Itoshi

Rin Itoshi is his younger brother. They used to be quite close with each other in their childhood. Sae was admired by Rin and he was the reason Rin started to play football. Sae and Rin used to play together and won many games together, they even made a promise to become the two best strikers in the world. However, they got separated when Sae was scouted to play in the inferiors of the Real Madrid. Four years later, Sae and Rin met again while the last one was training late. Sae then tells him that he will become the best midfielder instead of the best striker of the world, thing that greatly affected Rin since his reason to play football had been his older brother. Sae then challenges Rin to play a 1vs1 and tells him that if he defeats him he will retake that dream with Rin. Sae utterly defeats Rin and says he feels disgusted with him and the football of Japan, also telling Rin to never use him as a reason to play football ever again, leaving his younger brother behind while he stays in the field shocked and later at his home swears to destroy Sae.

Later on, their relationship fell apart and estranged, never seeing each other until the match between Japan U-20 and Blue Lock Eleven. Sae is absolutely indifferent to Rin and doesn't speak to him until they have a 1vs1 in which Sae tells him that he will never be able to defeat him as long as he keeps considering himself as "Sae Itoshi's younger brother". And while Rin tries his best to prove that he is better that his brother, Sae doesn't pay him attention.

## Blue Lock Players

### Yoichi Isagi

During the Japanese Representative Match, Sae was surprised to find out that Isagi is the "Heart of Blue Lock". He was impressed by how he was able to plan different ways to score goals, to motivate his fellow teammates, and to inspire them to achieve victory throughout the match. Sae was also amazed on how Isagi managed to manipulate Rin into entering Flow, as well as take advantage of Rin's awakening to secure his defining chance for a victory shot. He even bluntly stated to Rin that Isagi will be the one to change Japanese football for the better, making him the first Japanese striker that he ever respected.

### Oliver Aiku

Like with all members of the original U20 Japanese team, Sae had a very low opinion of Oliver, considering him to be very mediocre in his plays. Yet, he has shown to respect his clever tactical scheme in manipulating both himself and the heads of the Japan Football Union, which led to his endgame of entering Ryusei Shido into the game against Blue Lock Eleven, to prove to the world once and for all that Japanese football's "team-play" philosophy is defective and "egoism" is the key to victory.
Meguru Bachira/Relationships

## Team Z

### Yoichi Isagi

Isagi and Bachira met during the initial game of tag that determined Team Z. Isagi was at first unsettled by him and his eccentric demeanor but they quickly bonded after their first match against Team X. They train together pretty often and Bachira has stated that he believes in Yoichi multiple times which is why he always passes to him. Bachira implies that he constantly sees a "monster" inside and around Isagi, like himself. Before the match against Team V, he reaches out to Yoichi to tell him that he'd be lonely without him if they lost the match and never got to see each other again, to which Yoichi agrees. Isagi might be the first real friend Bachira has had in years since he began being bullied but even without him around he is still able to connect with other strong players like Itoshi Rin.

## Others

### Rin Itoshi

Rin and Bachira intially meet during the first game between Isagi's Team White and Rin's Team Red with Rin being and the opposing team. After Team White lost, Bachira was chosen to join Team Red and thus became a member of their roster. While waiting for a worthy team to fight Rin and Bachira trained together, to the annoyance of Itoshi Rin. Bachira just wanted to get stronger and better understand Rin and Rin clearly saw through Bachira's whole emotional state and how it affected his football. His gave him some candid advice that stuck with Bachira all the way through the rematch between Isagi's Team White and Rin's Team Red.

Rin was more than able and willing to efficiently use and push Bachira's football skill to the limit in an attempt to win and Bachira was more than willing to step up to the high plate that Rin and Isagi had set for him. After he broke through his trauma and became someone who is fighting for the world's best striker, Bachira becomes someone Rin trusts on the field and is closer than most people to a friendship with him.
Marc Snuffy/Relationships

## Blue Lock

### Shoei Baro

Baro has greatly earned Marc's respect as he wanted him to take his placed as 'King' of Ubers. During their match against Bastard München, his respect for him intensified upon seeing a familiarity between him and his late best friend and team mate, Mick Moon. Baro convinced him to not retire and continue on as a striker so he may one day best him.

### Don Lorenzo

Don is indebted to Marc for having saved him from an extremely indigence life after being abandoned by his family, he offered him help in exchange for playing football with him, with Snuffy paying for his signature golden teeth. Ever since, he gained an immense respect for Snuffy, not hesitating to defend him after Baro called him a coward and rejected his proposal to succeed him.

## Others

### Jinpachi Ego

He seems to know Ego personally, as he noted that he and Noel Noa, used to share a twisted rivalry that seemed almost identical to Isagi and Barou's.

### Noel Noa

Both Marc and Noel are great rivals to each other for many years, as he seems to have known him for over a decade back when the latter was a rival to Ego. Despite their on and off antagonism, they both highly respect each other's skills as Noa noted that in terms of overall ability, Snuffy is the best player in the world.
Second Selection: Rivalry Battle

**Second Selection: Rivalry Battle** (セカンドセレクション「ライバルバトル」, *Sekando Serekushon `Raibaru Batoru`*?) is the second selection of the Blue Lock Project.

## Description

125 strikers from each of the 5 stratum are left from the First Selection. The Second Selection is divided into 4 stages. It's a leveling system in which strikers are only allowed to move on after they clear each stage. Those who clear this selection will participate in a strengthening training camp with players from all around the world.

The **first stage** is an individual match between a striker and BLUE LOCK MAN, a holographic goalkeeper. Players must score 100 goals within 90 minutes to pass within a limited area. After 30 goals, the difficulty increases as more holograms that are stationary are added. After 60 goals, the additional holograms begin moving quickly and the balls that are sent are faster and spinning.

The **second stage** is a match between teams of 2 and the **elimination stage** of the Second Selection. If you don't get chosen from the second stage then you are eliminated from Blue Lock

The **third stage** is a match between teams of 3. The team that scores 5 goals first wins. The winning team takes one member from the losing team and continue on to the fourth stage. The losing team will have to return to the second stage.

The **fourth stage or clear stage** is a match between teams of 4. The team that scores 5 goals first wins. The winning team takes one member from the losing team and continue on to the Third Selection. The losing team will have to return to the third stage.

Those who are eliminated in the second stage are able to participate in a secret **loser's qualifier**, known as Wild Card that acts as a secondary way of advancement. It is a much more intense and unforgiving path of advancement as only one player actually survived the qualifier.

Only those who can create "chemical reactions" with others and combine their weapons to squash their rivals and show dominance will clear Second Selection.
Chapter 159

**Kazuma Nio** (仁 (に) 王 (おう) 和 (かず) 真 (ま) , *Niō Kazuma*?) is a member of the Japan U-20 team.

## Abilities

### Archetype

* **Stopper**: Stoppers are skilled defenders who rely on their strength, stamina, and man-marking abilities to stop the opposition's attacking play by making strong tackles. They are usually uncompromising in their tackling and would rather give away a foul than let an opposition player get past them. Stoppers generally play as center-backs.

### Skills

* **Dominant Physique**: Nio's main weapon is his physique, which he uses to impose himself onto attackers and prevent them from making the plays they want to. He was able to completely nullify Seishiro Nagi's ability to trap and create plays, after which the latter said he was a "power-type defender". It has been noted the essence of his dominant physique can be boiled down to his core strength. By using his core, he can physically mark any attacker he gets close too, shutting them out of the game.
	+ **Physical Pressure**: By using his core as a wall, Nio is able to position himself behind an attacker and prevent them from turning to goal, stifling any possibility of creative play. This pressure was potent enough to shut down Nagi's ability to breathe life into a play.
	+ **Doberman Charge**: In a physical pressure duel with an opponent, Nio will use his shoulder to charge the opponent and block them from going forward, leveraging his full core strength against them. The effectiveness of this move have not been seen, however, as it was countered by Rin.

## Etymology

* His given name, **Kazuma** (和 (かず) 真 (ま) , *****Kazuma*****?), means "true harmony."
* His surname, **Nio** (仁 (に) 王 (おう) , *****Nio*****?), are two wrathful guardians of the Buddha.

Shuto Sendo/Relationships

## Japan U-20

### Ryusei Shido

Sendo first met Shido in the Japan U-20 Training Camp, referring him as Sae's tag-along. Hearing Sae's 'fighting words', Sendo got frustrated and insulted him causing him and Shido to get into a fight and get his head slammed on the table, and almost ended up getting kicked in the face. While Aiku was chit-chatting with Sae, he says the two can't see eye to eye again.

Shido sees Sendo as a 'sucker' for his stupidity.

### Oliver Aiku

Aiku and Sendo forms a type of 'father and son' relationship. He seems to care about Sendo a lot, especially being proud when he sees Sendo blocking Bachira's goal. Even when finding out about Sendo's dream to marry a hollywood actress, Aiku was still fine with it. He motivates Sendo a lot, and interacts with him in a teasing and sarcastic way. Sendo sometimes feels irritated around him, while Aiku dearly enjoys his accompany.

### Sae Itoshi

Sae met Sendo when he was invited as a new member of the Japan U-20. Sendou saw him as a 'spoiled prince' as first glance. Hearing Sae's words, he got frustrated and insulted him for having no interest and a low expectation of the team. Sae then tells him his interest and the depth to their desire, telling Sendo that would be how he'd realize he would never be the best in the world.

Sae nicknamed Sendou as 'Gravure Idol-Loving Brat', and got unimpressed when Sendo managed to miss an opportunity to score a goal, saying it was all on him.
