**The Last Piece** (最 (さい) 後 (ご) の欠片 (ピース) , *Saigo no Pīsu*?) is the 37th chapter of Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

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 he 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 cannot do those outrageous traps that Nagi can do. Isagi believes that Team Z's victory is now impossible. He can't picture the goal anymore. He can't see the future where they win anymore. Isagi, in his mind, concedes defeat.

Meanwhile, Chigiri yells at Isagi to call his attention. Kunigami then tells Isagi to pass to him; however, Isagi does not want to. Isagi wants to score his own goal. Isagi then remembers himself scoring his own goal in the previous matches. Isagi then remembers Ego's lesson about the formula to produce goals. Isagi believes that the missing puzzle piece is Isagi's trap piece. Isagi will, however, automatically lose to Nagi since he is just a regular player when it comes to trapping. With that in mind, Isagi rejects the idea of trapping the ball. Isagi then realizes that the final piece to complete his goal, his missing puzzle piece, was through a one-touch shot. Isagi believes that his formula to score goals is through utilizing his spatial awareness and direct shot. Isagi does a direct shot. The goalkeeper of Team V failed to stop it; thus, earning Team Z another point. The score is now 4-5, with Team Z in the lead. At this moment, Isagi has awakened.

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 it feels frustrating to do his best but still lose.

## Summary

Team Z is doing their regimen which includes running tests and jumping tests. After the training is meal time. Other players are already sleeping but Isagi is seen too nervous to sleep. He then decided to practice on which he encountered Bachira. They decided to play a one-on-one game. Isagi asks Bachira whether he pass to him thinking that Isagi would get rid of Kira. Bachira responded that there is a monster lurking inside of him who said to pass to Isagi because he also has a monster inside him. Bachira told Isagi that he is glad he came to Blue Lock because he met him.

All the players of Team Z were told to gather at the room for an announcement of rankings. Igarashi moved from 300 to 275. Isagi's rank moved from 299 to 274. Ego discussed the Blue Lock in which it is arranged into five different strata and here are 25 teams ranging from "B" to "Z" with each set of five times in a stratum living in the same conditions.

After the game of tag, there are only 275 players left. The first selection was then announced.

Chapter 137

**"Last Step"** (最 (さい) 後 (ご) の一 (いっ) 歩 (ぽ) , *Saigo no Ippo*?) is the 137th chapter of the Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

Yoichi Isagi recalls some of Ego's words from the beginning of Blue Lock ; "A striker is someone who carries that responsibility and fights with everything they have until the last second". As Sae Itoshi locks onto Isagi's body, Isagi pushes forward with Sae. He thinks that even if Sae was able to predict his play, he still has this moment right in front of the goal to do something. Even against the genius Sae Itoshi, Isagi thinks he still has a 50/50 chance. He steels himself and says he doesn't care about predictions because it doesn't matter, all that matters is this infighting. Isagi readies his right leg to kick the ball, focusing all of his thought on his leg reaching the ball in the perfect spot. Isagi is just one step away when Sae looks at Isagi's form and performs a light shoulder tackle that effectively casues Isagi to lose his balance and Sae tells him that he is acting too hasty. Without a stable core Isagi won't be able to use his direct shot. Isagi is baffled by Sae's action just now because he does not know how he lost his balance from such a light tackle.

Isagi feels as if all his options have been squashed when suddenly Rin Itoshi emerges from the right side of the center and he tells Isagi to look at him. Isagi realizes that Sae was not the only one to predict his perfect play and Isagi puts all his remaining energy and focus to pass the ball while off balance. As the ball heads towards Rin, Aiku Oliver comes from behind Rin having predicted Isagi and Rin's combo. He tells them not to think he can be beaten so easily by a surprise attack. The ball bounces with Rin and Aiku gunning for it while blocking each other; they are one step away from the ball when out of nowhere Shoei Baro comes from the center while holding back Kazuma Nio and Miroku Darai which surprises Rin and Aiku. Aiku questions why Baro is at that spot when he didn't get there by chasing Isagi. Still while holding back the two defenders Baro thanks Isagi for this perfect play as he crouches down on one leg and swings his right foot to the ball kicking it with intense power into the upper left pocket of the goal. The crowd is mind blown as Hirotoshi Buratsuta and Anri Teieri look on in utter disbelief. Baro completely ecstatic takes his shirt off and jumps as he roars from his super goal as now the game is tied, 3-3.

## Chapter Notes

* Isagi attempts a direct shot but it shut down by Sae
* In a last ditch effort Isagi passes the ball to Rin
* At the very last second, the ball is stolen by Baro who kicks the ball and scores a goal
* The game is now tied 3-3.

**"Last Attack"** (終 (しゅう) 撃 (げき) , *Shūgeki*?) is the seventh chapter of the 17th volume and the 147th chapter overall of the Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

A vision of the past echoes, showing Rin Itoshi's broken room after Sae Itoshi leaves Japan for good and when Sae propositions Rin to start playing football with him. In the present, the whole of Japan is watching this final moment, this final 1v1 between the Itoshi brothers. Sae starts high speed scissors but slides the ball back when Rin tries to steal it. Sae flicks the ball into the air by forcefully sliding his foot down and back heel tapping it forward but Rin sees it and bumps Sae to halt his charge and gain equal ground. Both push off each other to try to gain control of the ball but Sae remains possession. Sae finally gets some space from Rin but Rin relentlessly charges Sae but Sae counters him trying to move forward but Rin follows. At that moment Sae performs his signature move, the cross elastico nutmeg, but RIn saw it coming and blocks it with his foot. Surprising Sae the ball bounces off Rin's foot into the air and everybody is dumbstruck, not knowing where the ball will land.

The ball flies over Oliver Aiku's head as he can do nothing but watch it glance by. As he falls over trying to keep up with the ball he and Rin notice something; they saw Yoichi Isagi meet the ball. Utilizing luck, Isagi came to the right place in the right moment and struck a perfect volley from at the top of the box. Gen Fukaku reaches for the ball but it finds itself in the back of the goal and in that moment, in the final moment, Yoichi Isagi roars as he scores the last goal of the match. The crowd is absolutely dumbfounded as they cheer in excitement and the rest of the players just look on surprised. The referee blows the final whistle and the match is over with the Blue Lock Eleven winning, 4-3. Isagi is surrounded by his team as he jumps at excitement at his goal. On the sidelines, Jinpachi Ego clutches his fist in victory.
Chapter 10

**"Operation: Me, Next 9"** (次 (つぎ) 俺 (おれ) 9 (ナイン) 作 (さく) 戦 (せん) , *Tsugi ore 9 sakusen*?) is the 10th chapter of Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

First Selection Update

Anri Teieri, with Ego, appears on the screen reporting the loss of Team X to Team W. The match ended with a score of 4-1.

Team Y vs Team Z

   Kuon tells Team Z that Team Y is in a similar situation with them. Like Team Z, if Team Y loses, they will be up for elimination and unable to recover. Also, Kuon warns the team to watch out for Hibiki Okawa, rank 254.

For this match, Team Z will be using the "I'm the next 9" strategy. There will be a rotation for the players performing as forward. To fully grasp the potential of each members' weapons, every member of Team Z must support the main forward and wait for their turn. Chigiri, however, asks to remain in the defensive. He shows no interest in being in the offensive. Because of this, each player will have 10 minutes to exhibit their weapon.

The first forward of Team Z is Bachira. Bachira easily broke through by himself using his super-solo strategy. Nonetheless, Bachira was caught unprepared when Niko stole the ball from behind. Isagi remarks that, like Team Z, Team Y has its own strategies.

After a few minutes, Bachira tries once more, but 10 minutes have already passed. The next striker is Kunigami. Kunigami's weapon, however, relies on his teammates to bring the ball to his zone while he focuses on staying unmarked. Fortunately, a teammate passes the ball to Kunigami. Kunigami kicks the ball, hoping to score, but was blocked by two players from Team Y. The ball continues to be stolen from one team to the other.

While playing, Isagi noticed that Okawa has not been moving for some time. Then, suddenly, Okawa moved. Apparently, Okawa was precisely waiting for the right time to attack. Isagi concluded that Team Z was able to attack only because Team Y allowed them to attack. All this time, Okawa was waiting for Niko to give him a signal to attack.

## Chapter Notes

1. (In an announcement from Ego) Team X loss to Team W.
2. During Bachira's 10 minutes, there was no changes in the score of both teams.
3. Apparently, Team Y was allowing Team Z to attack.
4. Okawa and Niko will make there offensive attack soon.

Chapter 32

**Impetus** (衝 (しょう) 動 (どう) , *Shōdō*?) is the 32nd chapter of the Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

The score is 3-3. Kuon is shocked and confused about how Team Z caught up with the undefeated Team V. He wonders how Team Z can fight against Team V with only 10 players. He then screams at Team V, telling them to stop messing around. He then says that Team V should be embarrassed to have a difficult time against only 10 players. Reo then calls Kuon trash and tells him to shut up.

The game resumes. Reo has the ball. While dribbling the ball, Reo vows that he won't lose. Reo remarks that he is not his family's toys. Reo then says that he won't be satisfied with people giving him anything he wants. He wants to be able to get the things he wants with his own hands. Raichi then appears in front of Reo. Raichi 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. Plus, Reo can't forcibly pass through Raichi because he might lose the ball. 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. After scoring, Nagi tells Reo that football is quite exhilarating. The score is now 4-3, with Team V in the lead.

## Chapter Notes

* Kuon is confused as to how Team Z can catch up with Team V.
* For the first time, Nagi takes the initiative to attack. Nagi has awakened his potential in football.
* The score is now 4-3, with Team V in the lead.

Chapter 20

**Boiling** (滾 (たぎ) り, *Tagiri*?) is the 20th chapter of the Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

The heated battle resumes, with the ball being stolen from one another. Successfully stealing the ball from Junichi, Kunigami and Raichi kicked the ball towards Imamura. With a score of 4-3, Team Z desperately tries to score another goal. Meanwhile, Isagi feels that they can't break through the opponents' defense. All of Team Z's weapons have been disarmed by Team W's defense. Kuon comes up to Isagi and tells him to give up already. With only 3 minutes left, Kuon tells him that they can't win.

Frustrated that his teammates' weapons are not working, Isagi tries to pull through by himself. This caused a shock to Keisuke and his teammates since they believed that Isagi's only weapon is his spatial awareness. He drives the ball but fails when Junichi blocks him. Chigiri sees Isagi's reckless and extreme efforts. Isagi, however, doesn't see it that way. He believes that Team Z can still win. Iemon, seeing Isagi's fighting spirit, calls his other teammates to support Isagi.

Witnessing Team Z's desperate attempts, Chigiri believes that they should stop already. Keisuke ridicules them, telling them that, no matter what they do, they'll still lose. Isagi, seeing Chigiri lost in his thought, yells at him and tells him to focus on getting the ball. With Chigiri blocking the way to the goal, Isagi pushes him and shouts at him to move out of the way. This angers Chigiri.

Chigiri realizes that Isagi was like him when he was younger. The young Chigiri believed that he can be the world's best striker. The young him who devoted his whole life to football. Realizing that, Chigiri asked himself why he has been so afraid and cautious all this time. Watching Isagi play so passionately, Chigiri seethes with envy and anger.

Chigiri tells himself that it's enough. If he injures his legs once more, then so be it. This only means that he was not worthy. Letting go of all his fears, Chigiri will once again show the world who will be the world's best striker. Meanwhile, Isagi senses the goal of scent along Chigiri's direction.

## Chapter Notes

* Chigiri sees his past self in Isagi.
* The score is now 4-3, with 3 minutes left.
* Letting go of his fears, Chigiri is now ready to play in the offensive.

## Summary

With only one minute left, every player from both teams went on an all-out attack. This is the last chance for both teams. Since everyone in Team Y will be on the offensive, Team Z is having a difficult time defending. Fortunately for Team Y, Niko has the ball. Although Niko is in front of Iemon, Niko chose to pass to Okawa instead. Before the ball reached Okawa, Isagi stops it with his leg. Isagi notes that Niko always passes to Okawa since he emits the goal scent more than anyone. Since Isagi and Niko have similar weapons, they had the same train of thought towards Okawa. Isagi then informs Niko that this is his and Team Z's win. Isagi considered Niko as a talentless striker for passing at a critical moment.

With Isagi in possession of the ball, he drives it towards the other side of the court. Then, he passes to Kunigami. Desperate to stop Team Z from attacking, Team Y opts to foul than allow them to score a goal. Before being swarmed by the opponents, Kunigami passes the ball to Bachira. Bachira then kicks the ball towards Gagamaru's side. Everyone thought that the pass was for Gagamaru, but it was actually for Isagi. Isagi, with the goal right in front of him, strikes it with everything he has. Isagi successfully scores, ending the game with a score of 1-2.

While Team Z was rejoicing, the speaker announced the win of Team Z and the loss of Team Y. After the announcement, players from Team Y lie on the floor exhausted and frustrated about their loss. Isagi, however, instead of sympathizing with them, felt joy after winning and crushing their opponents' dreams.

## Chapter Notes

* Niko and Team Y could have won if he didn't pass to Okawa and scored by himself.
* Isagi scored a goal.
* The match ended with Team Z winning and Team Y losing (1-2).

Chapter 6

**1 = Individual** (１＝個 (こ) 性 (せい) , *Ichi = Kosei*?) is the 6th chapter of the Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

Isagi is blocking Baro from passing. To pass Isagi, Baro does a heel flick. This move amazes Isagi, making him unable to react quickly. After that, Baro was able to pass through Kuon and Imamura with nutmegs. Baro then kicks the ball towards the net. The goalkeeper, Iemon, failed to stop the ball, resulting in the goal of Team X.
After Baro's goal, his teammates were ecstatic and joyful. Baro, however, stated that he is not scoring in this match to make friends. He remarked that his teammates' sole purpose is to make him shine, declaring that he is the one true king. On the other hand, Team Z was not pleased with Team X scoring. Igaguri blamed Iemon for failing as a goalkeeper; Kuon tried calming the other players, and Raichi blamed Isagi for his incompetence as a forward. Raichi then told Isagi to stick on defense instead. The game resumes.

Since Team Z's players were playing selfishly, Isagi decided to pass between himself and Bachira alone. As the ball was going to Bachira, Igaguri stopped it. Igaguri told Isagi that Blue Lock's first selection was not about which team wins or loses. Instead, the important characteristic is the will to score as many goals as one can.

Unfortunately, the ball was stolen from Igaguri by a player from Team X. To take advantage of Team Z's meltdown and selfish playstyle, players from Team X decided to pass all the balls to Baro to win. Isagi, seeing Team X playing as a team, considered Team Z's win as hopeless and impossible. Leaving Baro unmarked will allow him to score; however, if all of them covered him, players from Team X will be left open.

The game reached a score of 5-0 with Team X in the lead. To make a comeback, Bachira suggested that he and Isagi must score to win. The chapter ends with Isagi stating that he must become the foundation for Team Z, like how Baro is the foundation for Team X.

## Chapter Notes

* Baro passed through the opponent's defense, enabling him to score a goal.
* Baro became the foundation for Team X to work and play as team.
* The egocentric playstyle of Team Z was no match for the organized and unified Team X.
* The score is currently 5-0, with Team X in the lead.

Chapter 35

**Last Chance** (ラストチャンス, *Rasuto Chansu*?) is the 35th chapter of Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

Reo runs toward Nagi, asking him if he was fine. Reo 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.  Reo reluctantly agrees and asks what kind of malicious tactic Team Z has. Kunigami tells Reo that he also didn't understand why Kuon did it. Kuon says that he just did what he had to do. Igaguri then tells Kuon that, because of what he did, Kunigami is the top striker. If the match ended in a draw, Kuon will be eliminated. Kuon tells Igaguri that he knows. Kuon then says to Team Z to do everything to win so that Kuon still has a chance to become the best striker in the world.

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 resumes with the free-kick. Team V's free-kick kicker is Reo. Behind the scenes, everyone knows that if Kuon didn't do that, Team Z would've lost already. Team Z desperately tries to stop Reo from scoring. 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. The fastest player from both teams, Chigiri and Zantetsu, race for the ball; however, Zantetsu is nearer. Zantetsu kicks the ball but 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. Nagi's kick passes the three players. Fortunately, Gagamaru stops the ball. Isagi receives the loose ball. Isagi believes that this is his last chance.

## Chapter Notes

* Team V's free-kick kicker is Reo.
* Iemon successfully stopped Reo from scoring. Raichi stopped Zantetsu's kick. Gagamaru stopped Nagi from scoring.
* The score is 4-4.
* The chapter ends with Isagi in possession of the ball. Isagi remarks that this is his last chance.

## Short Summary

In one of Germany Stratum's dorm rooms, Isagi, Hiori, Kurona, and Yukimiya are discussing the criteria of their valuation rankings. Kurona points out the value a goal holds while Yukimiya confirms this using Isagi's most recent performance and the other plays from the game as a reference. The gang think on thier current valuations and vow to get them higher as they joke around. Isagi is stuck in thought, thinking on the difference between him and Rin and how he is so close to being the #1 of Blue Lock when the rest of the group calls Isagi having decided to watch the FC Barcha vs Paris X Gen game. Gagamaru and Raichi are already in the Germany Stratum observation room and the six of them watch the match unfold together.

The first goal of the game is swiftly done by Rin and when he scores, PXG decide to switch up their entire formation with Rin out and Shido as the new attacking center. Shido effortlessly scores the second point but Isagi and Hiori notice something. The person who has been feeding Rin and Shido the exact kind of passes they want, the person who seems to understand their style of play the most is Charles of France. With this midfielder as the heart, PXG has two undeniably strong formations for which they can use.

* Manga

**Blue Lock** (ブルーロック, *Burū Rokku*?) is a training facility that was built for the purpose of inviting prodigious Japanese football players, who would live in the facility and follow the strict personally-designed training regime created by Jinpachi Ego. The facility also has a football arena at its center, which is used for hosting professional matches. It is the main location of the *Blue Lock* manga and anime series.

## Structure

The building is a massive structure spanning the entirety of a large cliffside in the mountains of Japan, being as tall as a skyscraper. The building is shaped like a pentagon and is thus broken into five different sections. Each section is designated as a stratum and the stratums house a myriad of different rooms including various living quarters, a dining hall, weight rooms, specialty training rooms, multiple practice soccer fields, a football arena in the center of it that can host a professional game and even enough room to currently host multiple selections or training regimens separate of each other.

The exact layout of the building is unknown past First Selection. First Selection and the Neo Egoist League use the most space out of the building needing essentially the entirety of the building. In the First Selection, there are 25 teams of 11 players with each team being ranked into a set from V to Z, with V being the best team in a set and Z being the worst team in a set. Each team of V to Z occupy one of the 5 stratums and have use of all its rooms and are allowed to walk into other stratums but only in their designated set. In the Neo Egoist League, 5 groups of 9 players are separated into stratums based on the player's country of choice. These countries are Germany, Spain, England, Italy, and France. As in First Selection, the teams have complete access to their stratum.

## Summary

Before the match

At Team Z's monitoring room, Team Z (besides Kuon) is preparing for their upcoming match. Iemon informs them that Team W's key players are the Wanima Brothers (Keisuke Wanima and Junichi Wanima). When the twins played against Baro's team, the brothers scored 4 goals combined. Isagi then tells the others that the twins are useless when they are isolated. Iemon agrees with him, saying that to defeat Team W, they must split them apart.

Kuon then comes to the monitoring room after taking a long bath. Kuon tells the team that for their next game, they will follow an improved version of their tactic. Kuon calls this new strategy "the 3x3 all-stars" tactic.  Iemon and Chigiri is not part of this tactic. Instead, Iemon will be the goalkeeper, while Chigiri would rather stay on the defensive again.

Team W vs Team Z

The game between Team W and Team Z starts. The Wanima brothers have the ball. Team Z tries to stop the twins from passing through, but they failed to do so. Keisuke tells Team Z that their weapon is their eye contact. While playing, Keisuke notices Chigiri. Keisuke insults Chigiri, asking him if hew was the genius with the glass knee. It is revealed that Chigiri, Keisuke, and Junichi belonged to the same school club then. While passing through Chigiri, Keisuke tells him that his football career has come to an end. Keisuke also warned Chigiri, stating that he might snap his fragile knees again. While Keisuke is busy threatening Chigiri, Isagi steals the ball from him. Isagi tells Chigiri to ignore the twins' threats and warnings. Isagi says to Chigiri that, unlike Chigiri, he doesn't have a past he can boast about. Because of this, Isagi came to Blue Lock to sharpen his skills. Through football, Isagi aims to change his life. The ball is passed from one player to the other in Team Z. Kuon receives the ball last and scores a goal. After that, Isagi declares to Chigiri that doesn't care about his past, but instead who he is now.

The score is now 0-1, with Team Z in the lead.

## Chapter Notes

* The Wanima brothers are the key players of Team W.
* Keisuke Wanima and Junichi Wanima are twins. Keisuke interprets what Junichi is thinking.
* Chigiri, Keisuke, and Junichi played in the same club at school before Blue Lock.
* Chigiri is referred to as the "genius with the glass knee."
* The score is now 1-0, with Team Z in the lead. Kuon scored the goal.

Chapter 27

**Only One** (ただひとり, *Tada Hitori*?) is the 27th chapter of the Blue Lock manga series.

## Summary

Reo is amazed by Nagi's goal, telling him that it was exactly how he imagined it. 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.

The game resumes. Team Z sticks to their tactics, believing that it is the best choice for victory. Isagi passes the ball to Kunigami. Kunigami, however, is not yet in his shooting range, so he moves closer to it. While moving forward, Reo, coming from Kunigami's blind spot, appears to him. Reo tells Kunigami that he studied every skill Kunigami has. Reo knows that Kunigami is not in his shooting range; thus, he is unable to score just yet. Reo steals the ball and kicks again towards Nagi. Isagi, seeing the ball's trajectory, shouts Raichi and Igaguri's names, telling them to stop Nagi. Unfortunately for Team Z, 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.

The game resumes again. Isagi kicks the ball towards Chigiri. Chigiri runs towards the ball and sees Zantetsu catching up to him. Zantetsu was able to steal the ball from Chigiri, who was shocked by Zantetsu's speed. Isagi becomes agitated after seeing Chigiri lose in a speed contest. Zantetsu passes the ball to Reo. Isagi shouts that he'll handle Reo while the others should intercept any passes to Nagi. Team Z made it an objective to avoid Nagi from receiving the ball. Reo, seeing Zantetsu open, passes to him.

   Because of this, Isagi can't think of any solutions. If they don't mark Nagi with many players, Nagi will continue to score; however, if too many players surround Nagi, other players from Team V will be left open. Zantetsu, with the ball, sees that he is in his shooting range and that no one is blocking his field of vision. Zantetsu kicks the ball, scoring a goal.

With a score of 3-0, Isagi believes that Team Z has already lost. Any hope of winning is gone. Team Z starts to lose its optimistic outlook. Well, besides Kuon and Bachira. Kuon feels at ease knowing that he's the top striker of Team Z. On the other hand, Bachira is excited to play with strong opponents. Bachira was the only one left with a fighting spirit.

## Chapter Notes

* The score is currently 3-0, with Team V in the lead
* Nagi scored 2 goals while Zantetsu scored 1.
* Chigiri lost in a battle of speed against Zantetsu.
* Everyone from Team Z has lost their fighting spirit besides Bachira.
