## History

Nagi's first encounter with Reo was at their high school. Reo accidentally bumps on Nagi's back, making Nagi drop his phone. Seeing Nagi's skills, Reo asked him if he is part of the school's football club. Hearing that Nagi has never played football in his whole life made Reo find him astonishing. Besides that, Reo found it captivation to meet someone so talented in football without the help of training. Because of this, Reo regarded Nagi as his own gem. Nagi is then invited by Reo to play football together. In return for playing with him, however, Nagi asked Reo for money. Reo agrees, marking the start of both's football careers.

## First Selection Arc

### Team Z vs Team V

Kuon is discussing its next game to Zantetsu, Reo, and Nagi. Kuon asks the trio if they are interested in his proposal. The trio, however, rejects his offer. Reo believes that he could win against Team Z with their talents alone. Reo then tells Kuon that he can't stand lame and spineless folks like Kuon. Nagi then says that he's tired and bored and asks Reo if they can leave now. Nagi then asks for a piggy-back ride from Reo. The trio leaves Kuon, with Reo carrying Nagi on his shoulders.

Desperate to survive in Blue Lock, Kuon tries to stop them. Confused, Nagi asks Reo why Kuon was so desperate. Reo tells him that it's because he wants to win. Nagi then says to Kuon that weak guys like him are not worth the hassle. Nagi adds that if he was Kuon, he would've quit football already.

Behind the scenes, Team Z was listening to Kuon and the trio's discussion. Frustrated by Nagi's words, Isagi vows to the trio that Team Z would win against them in their next match. Reo, confused about Isagi's sudden appearance, ask him who he was. Isagi introduces himself along with his team.

At Team V's locker room, Nagi is seen playing video games. Zantetsu asks Nagi to stop skipping practice. Reo then tells Zantetsu that Nagi will be fine even if he doesn't join the training. Zantetsu then tells Reo that he is far too overprotective of Nagi. Reo agrees, saying that Nagi his own gem.

After seveal hours, the match between Team Z and Team V commences. The game starts with Reo in possession of the ball. Isagi believes he can't handle Reo alone. So, he asks for Bachira's help to steal the ball. Isagi knows that when Reo can't pass, he moves forward and passes to the side. Marked by 2 players, Reo passes the ball to his side where Zantetsu is. Isagi predicts that Zantetsu will pass since his shooting range is blocked by Naruhaya and Raichi. Isagi's guess was correct. Zantetsu passes the ball towards Nagi. Knowing that Zantetsu would pass to Nagi, Igaguri was able to stop the ball before it reached Nagi. Igaguri then calls out Isagi's name, signaling him to retrieve the ball. Isagi passes the ball to Bachira then to Gagamaru. Gagamaru tries to score a goal with his head, but the ball missed.

Witnessing Team Z's passionate play, Reo tells Nagi to do "it." Nagi reluctantly agrees to Reo's suggestion. Out of nowhere, Reo kicks the ball, making the ball spin quickly. Seeing Reo's intense kick, Isagi believes that Nagi won't be able to trap the ball and stop it from moving. Nagi, however, trapped the ball effortlessly. After stopping the ball's momentum, Nagi kicks the ball and successfully scored a goal. Isagi describes Nagi as a monster in football.

Reo is amazed by Nagi's goal, telling him that it was how he imagined it exactly. Nagi then asks Reo if he can slack off already. Reo disagrees, saying that he needs to score five more goals until he rests. Meanwhile, Isagi is still shocked by Nagi's strike, wondering if it was just a fluke. After witnessing Nagi's weapons, Isagi comes to understand why he is the highest-ranked player in the fifth stratum. Reo steals the ball and kicks again towards Nagi. Luckily, Nagi was able to trap the ball once again. Igaguri is shocked to see Nagi stopping the ball's momentum so smoothly. Nagi then kicks the ball towards the net, scoring a goal. Seeing Nagi score goals effortlessly, Isagi is slowly losing hope.

Team V relaxes, knowing that they're in the lead by 3 points. Nagi asks Reo how many goals he has to score to slack off. Reo, seeing Team Z's frustrated faces, tells him that he thinks it's alright now. Reo remarks that Team Z looks broken already, like the previous teams they fought against. Till Zantetsu and Nagi notice Bachira's smiling. They wonder why he's still not feeling defeated yet.

Bachira says to Isagi that Reo, Nagi, and Zantetsu are super special. Bachira believes that those three are like him and Isagi. Bachira then says that to win, all he and Isagi have to do is become super special as well. The game resumes with Bachira asking for a pass from Isagi. Isagi passes to Bachira. Bachira then says to Isagi that sometimes their weapons will be useless; however, to avoid defeat, all they have to do is go beyond their limits.

Bachira then scores a goal. Watching Bachira score a goal against the undefeated Team V made Team Z feel as if they still had a chance of winning. Seeing Team Z's optimistic faces, Zantetsu remarks that they don't seem to be broken; instead, they are in heavenly spirits. Reo calls Zantetsu dumb and tells him that it's "high spirits" not "heavenly spirits." The trio agrees that the match has not reached a conclusion yet. Knowing that he stills has to play, Nagi found it annoying.

The game resumes. Zantetsu receives the ball from Reo and tells him that he'll surely get past through the opponents' defense. Chigiri catches up to Zantetsu and stops him from his tracks. To avoid the ball from being stolen, Zantetsu passes to Nagi. Surrounded by Igaguri and Naruhaya, Nagi receives the ball. With Nagi having his back turned to the goal, Igaguri thought that Nagi wouldn't be able to score at once. Naruhaya believes that he or Igaguri can steal it from Nagi before he scores. Contrasting their beliefs, Nagi slowly goes to a shooting position. Nagi then kicks the ball, hoping to score another goal. Noticing Nagi going to a shooting position, Igaguri stops the ball with his face. Bachira then retrieves the ball.

The second half starts with Isagi in possession of the ball. Isagi, however, is distracted by his thoughts. While Isagi was thinking about his weapons, Nagi catches up to him. Nagi tells Isagi that Isagi is pretty useless. Nagi explains that Isagi had all the cards but threw them away. Nagi then asks Isagi why he didn't shoot, telling Isagi that he has wasted several chances. Nagi then wonders why, unlike all the other teams they've played against, Team Z is still fighting. Nagi asks if Team Z is stupid to believe that they can win. He then says to Isagi that he doesn't understand how unskilled players, like Isagi, did not quit football a long time ago. Angered by Nagi's insulting comments, Isagi tells him to shut up. Isagi then says to Nagi that he's on a roll right now. After this, Isagi breakthrough Nagi's defense. Nagi wonders what Isagi will do.

Meanwhile, Reo yells at Nagi and tells him to mark Isagi. Before Reo can move to follow Nagi, Raichi stops him. Reo comments that Raichi is like a predator. Raichi agrees, telling Reo that he is his prey.  In the middle of the match, Reo punches Raichi. Apparently, Raichi called Reo a poor dexterous guy. Raichi remarked that, without Nagi, Reo was useless.  Raichi then asks Reo if he is afraid of losing. Raichi remarked that a guy who lived a luxurious life like him might have never experienced a loss ever since. Raichi then says to Reo that he'll be the one to hand Reo his first loss. With Raichi marking Reo, Reo finds it difficult to do something with the ball. He can't pass it to Zantetsu because he is currently being blocked by Chigiri and Naruhaya. On the other hand, Nagi, who is in front of the goal, is blocked by Igaguri and Imamura. Having a difficult time, Reo believes that the field is currently controlled by Team Z. Knowing that, Reo can't believe that he and Nagi will lose.

Nagi sees Reo's troubled face. Immediately, at that moment, Nagi started running. Nagi calls for Reo's attention and tells him to pass to him. Isagi is confused with Nagi's sudden initiative to play. Since the beginning of the match, Nagi was playing halfheartedly. Nagi receives the ball and tells Reo that he'll give it [football] a try. Nagi easily passes through Igaguri and kicks the ball towards Zantetsu. Zantetsu gets the ball. Avoiding another goal from Team V, Chigiri tries to intercept the ball but failed. Zantetsu passes the ball to Nagi. Apparently, Nagi experienced an awakening. Nagi kicks the ball and Iemon fails to stop it. After scoring, Nagi tells Reo that football is quite exhilarating. The score is now 4-3, with Team V in the lead.

Team V is ecstatic to be in the lead again. Meanwhile, Team Z is unhappy with Nagi's goal. Igaguri is shaking, knowing that their team is behind. Isagi believes that they made a grave mistake during the match. Team Z awakened Nagi's slumbering potential. With only 15 minutes left, Team Z is near to having a nervous breakdown. Hearing Team Z struggling to find a solution, Raichi yells, telling them that they should attack. Raichi remarks that, as strikers, Team Z should be able to fight back. Meanwhile, in Team V's locker room, Reo tells Nagi to score one more point to win.

The game resumes. Bachira, with the ball, kicks towards Chigiri. Zantetsu catches up with Chigiri and tries to steal the ball from him. Before Chigiri and Zantetsu reach the ball, however, Nagi appears in front of them. Nagi tells Chigiri that he'll be taking the ball from him. Surprisingly, Isagi appears in front of Nagi, calling him naive. Isagi blocks Nagi, stopping Nagi from retrieving the ball.

After a few minutes of stealing the ball from one team to the other, Zantetsu has the ball. Zantetsu passes to Nagi. Isagi runs toward Nagi, trying to stop him from scoring. Nagi, however, traps the ball with his back. This shocks Isagi, making him unable to react sooner. Isagi remarks that Nagi's skill is out of this world. In an instant, Nagi has left Isagi. Nagi runs until he is in front of Iemon. Team Z desperately yells at Iemon to stop the ball, or everything they've worked hard for will be destroyed. Suddenly, Kuon pulls Nagi's head. Team Z is shocked. The speaker rings, informing Team V and Team Z that Kuon is handed a red card. Kuon is ejected from the game, and a free direct kick is given to Team V.

Reo runs toward Nagi, asking him if he was fine. Reo then yells at Kuon. Nagi tells Reo that he's okay. Zantetsu then calms down Reo, saying that if Reo gets another yellow card, he'll be out of the game.

The game resumes. 3 minutes are given as extra time. Some players from Team V asks Reo how their defense should be. One player recommends stalling since, even though they don't win this match, Team V will survive the first selection. Reo disagrees and tells him that all they have to do is to destroy Team Z. The game starts with the free-kick. Team V's free-kick kicker is Reo. Iemon wonders what Reo will do. Will Reo pass to Nagi or Zantetsu? No. Iemon believes that as an egoistic striker, Reo will prefer to score by his skills alone. Iemon's guess was correct, allowing him to stop the ball from hitting the net. Now the ball is loose, both Team V and Team Z tries to retrieve it. Zantetsu retrieves the ball and kicks it; however, he is stopped by Raichi. The ball is sent flying. Nagi picks it up, hoping to score another goal. Raichi, Igaguri, and Iemon try to block the ball's course. Nonetheless, Nagi's kick passes the three players. Fortunately, Gagamaru stops the ball.

Isagi remarks that he can see it, the field's movements. Isagi finds the spot where he can make his goal. 19 meters to and from the left of the goal, Isagi runs toward that unmarked spot. Bachira sees Isagi asking for the ball. Just as how he predicted, the ball is going toward him. Before Isagi can trap the ball, Nagi appears in front of him. Suddenly, Isagi's goal scent disappeared.

With Nagi's sudden appearance, Isagi's goal scent disappeared. Isagi can't believe it. All he had to do was follow his goal scent and shoot the ball. Isagi frustratedly asks why Nagi was there, right in front of him. Nagi says to Isagi that Isagi is the biggest threat on the field right now. Isagi does not know what to do. The ball is slowly going down, reaching both Isagi and Nagi. Isagi runs toward the empty patch before Nagi can get it. While running, Isagi remarks that he will have to outdo Nagi's trapping skills. Because of this, Isagi loses confidence. Isagi can do those outrageous traps Nagi can do. Isagi, in his mind, concedes defeat. Nonetheless, after a few minutes, Isagi understood what he lacked in his formula. Realizing his missing puzzle piece, Isagi does a direct shot. Isagi successfully scored a goal.

    On the other side, Zantetsu and Reo cannot believe what happened. Reo cannot accept the fact that he lost. Nagi then tells Reo that they still have time. If they can score two more goals, they can win against Team Z. However, after Nagi said that, the buzzer rang to signalize the end of the match. The game ended in the victory of Team Z. After losing, Nagi tells Reo that, after giving it his best, the feeling of losing is quite frustrating.

After the match, the buzzer rang, announcing the results of the first selection. With the end of the first selection, Team V and Team Z survived. Plus, the top strikers of Team W, Team X, and Team Y will also advance. Junichi Wanima (6 goals), Ikki Niko (4 goals), and Shoei Baro (10 goals) are the top strikers. Team Z rejoices their victory against Team Z and for surviving the first selection.

## Second Selection Arc

Like the other players, Nagi was also present at the basement, as per Ego's instructions.
