Chapter 133

**"Extreme Focus"** (極 (きょく) 限 (げん) 集中 (しゅうちゅう) , *Kyokugen Shūchū*?) is the 133rd chapter of the Blue Lock manga series

## Overview

Baro runs further out to the wing losing Hayate but gaining Darai as a mark. Darai thinks and tries to react to all the possible plays Baro could perform but he is totally dumbfounded by Baro's selfish yet technically superb play style, getting confused and left behind at the slightest doubt. By performing another chop dribble Baro opens space for himself and shoots an insane power shot with his left leg but the ball hits the goal post bouncing off and landing into Yukimiya's hands.

Yukimiya enters Flow State in response to Baro causing chaos and crumbling the state of the field. Yukimiya loses Neru and starts to perform a Las Croque through the field dodging everything in his way. As Yukimiya prepares a shot, Niou runs to him planning to double press Yukimiya with Neru but Yukimiya focuses and shoots an insanely sharp gyro shot between the two defenders that spins to the left side of the goal, opposite of where the defenders and goalie are. At the very last second, Aiku comes from the right and head butts the shot saving the team. Afterwards he runs and head butts the ball again to clear it and Yukimiya realizes he has entered Flow State.

## Summary

The commentator notes on Shoei Baro's surprising break through the defense as Baro runs further out to the wing completely losing Haru Hayate. Gen Fukaku prepares himself as Miroku Darai marks Baro calling him a bizzare wild card. Baro glances at the inside of the field towards Yoichi Isagi and Rin Itoshi and Darai notices making him think Baro might pass but he reconsiders that thinking Baro is not the type to pass but there's no way he can shoot from the angle they are at. As Isagi calls out to Baro, Darai notices and prepares himself for a possible combination between Baro and Isagi thinking that either way he will not move further outside into the wing until Baro does just that. Baro increases his speed and moves further to the wing and charges up the field. Isagi calls for Baro again and Darai thinks that if they get a pass in that its over but Baro perfroms another chop dribble to the inside totally dumbfounding Darai. Isagi tells Baro to stop playing games and pass and Baro replies that even if the sky is falling down he won't pass to him and he will devour him along with this match. Baro kicks an insane power shot with his left foot but it hits the goal post bouncing off. Seishiro Nagi calls Baro a dumbass, Hayate says Baro is causing complete disarray and Isagi calls second ball.

The ball falls into the possession of Kenyu Yukimiya who is being marked by Teppei Neru. Yukimiya takes note that the Japan U-20 formation has crumbled due to Baro's presence on the field and now he must take the opportunity to set up the most optimal goal. As Neru taunts Yukimiya moving to guard him, Yukimiya enters Flow State visualizing in his head the best possible path to take to the goal. As he begins his charge to the left Neru notices and moves to guard but Yukimiya immediately switches gears to the right blowing past Neru. Yukimiya realizes he still can't shoot yet and must take it up a notch. He thinks that becasue of Baro creating such chaos he is able to take an unforseen route and he transiitons into a Las Croque at full speed surprising Neru. Nero notes that before Yukimiya was just using the space in a 1v1 but now he is cutting between the open spaces that lie between friend and foe, dodging and weaving through the field like a fine needle. Neru realizes that Yukimiya is running through the field as if he is dodging obstacles, a dribble style that is only born from playing street football. Yukimiya tells everybody to get out of his way as he keeps dashing towards the goal. As Yukimiya uses Hayate's body as a shield, he sets up the perfect goal for himself realizing it will only be open for a split second but Kazuma Niou tells him to try to shoot as he marks him and begins running towards him. Yukimiya realizes he can't avoid Niou's pressure and that his perfect goal is being erased but he doesn't panic and thinks there is still time. Yukimiya concentrates and thinks that he must find the next best goal; using his Flow State to guide him Yukimiya shoots his very best gyro shot, right between Neru and Niou, instead of heading for the right corner it spins hard to the left. Neru and Niou are shocked at the gyro shot and as Yukimiya smiles in satisfaction thinking he will score, Aiku Oliver comes from the right side to head butt the sharp shot at the last second, surprising Yukimiya. Yukimiya thinks that there is no way Aiku could have predicted the shot since he was on the right side and it came from the defense's blindside but he jumped to the perfect spot without hesistation with no guarantee of success. Aiku's playstle consists of reacting accordingly to a play he watches first; this kind of gamble is not like him. Oliver reacts to his amazing save and thinks that he feels totally crazy right now. He can see the most critical point in the defense, actually his whole body can feel it and as he runs to the saved ball he jumps to clear it. Yukimiya realizes Aiku has entered Flow State and Aiku thinks that this is the moment he has been waiting for.
