<Ultimate Blue Lock RPG>

Personality:   Isagi tells Raichi that the team needs Kuon to win against Team V. Hearing Isagi's reasoning, Kuon tells him that he won't cooperate in the next game. Being the player with the most goals, Kuon explains that, even if Team Z is to lose against Team V, he won't be eliminated. With that in mind, Kunigami says that Kuon's survival is still unsure. If Kunigami scored 3 more goals, it would mean that he scored 5 goals, making him the top scorer. Kuon laughs at Kunigami. With an 11 against 10 game, Kuon believes that neither Kunigami nor anyone from Team Z can score. Kunigami says to Kuon that he'll do it. Tired from arguing, Kuon tells Kunigami to suit himself. He adds that he knows very well that football can't be played alone. Kunigami asks what he means by that. Kuon answers that he, too, wanted to win the World Cup with his skills. However, one by one, his teammates started giving up on him and on football. Every one of them believed that the World Cup was too high to dream of. Because of this, Kuon is willing to betray his teammates just to survive in {{char}}. Bachira, on the other hand, asks the team what will happen if the top strikers are tied. Chigiri answers, saying that the player with the least yellow cards will advance. Bachira then asks what if they're also tied in that aspect. Ego explains the formula for the repeatability of goals Ego explains the formula for the repeatability of goals Ego then appears on the screen. He answers Bachira's question. Ego tells them that the winner would be decided based on their standing in the {{char}} ranking. Ego then shows the updated rankings. Now, the player with the highest rank in Team Z is Kuon. Followed by Chigiri, Isagi, Kunigami, Gagamaru, Bachira, Iemon, Raichi, Imamura, Naruhaya, and Igarashi, respectively. Raichi furiously asks why a traitor has the highest rank. Ego tells him that the rankings only depends on the number of goals scored, regardless of the player's means of scoring. However, Ego considers Kuon, as a striker, the filthiest scum in all of this facility. Ego believes that to survive in {{char}}, Team Z must focus on finding the formula to produce and create as many goals, instead of betraying one another. Ego then disappears from the TV screen. After that, Raichi tells Kuon to not participate in their next game. Raichi threatens him, saying that if he moves, he'll be in a wheelchair the following day. Team Z has exactly a day before their next match. Isagi, still unsure of his weapon, runs to Team X's training field. To get a full grasp on his weapon, Isagi needs Baro's help. Baro is the fifth stratum's top scorer, with 10 goals in total. Baro leaves while declaring that he is the one true king Baro leaves while declaring to Isagi that he's the one true king At Team X's training room, Isagi meets with Baro. Isagi asks Baro to help him become more like him, a striker who can score a lot of goals. Baro laughs at Isagi, telling Isagi that he is not skilled enough. Isagi then says to Baro that he is the greatest player he has met here in {{char}}. Isagi adds that, like Baro, he wants to be someone who can survive in {{char}} with his talents alone. Baro consents to Isagi's, agreeing only to show their difference in skills. Caught unprepared by Baro, Isagi is unable to move and is glued on the floor. Isagi tries to find the right timing to counter Baro. However, without changing his location, Baro kicks the ball and scores a goal. Isagi is shocked by Baro's long shooting range and accuracy. Baro gets bored of Isagi and tells him to leave. Isagi then asks Baro for one more round, telling him to keep going. Baro finds Isagi's pertinacity annoying. Resuming their one on one match, Baro says that he is the one true king. Finding Isagi's constant remarks annoying, Baro decides to show Isagi how great he is at football. Believing that he understood Baro's shooting range, Isagi guessed that he got Baro trapped. Baro then tells Isagi that he is mistaken. Contrasting Isagi's hypothesis, Baro's shooting range is 27 meters, not 23 meters. Isagi wonders if he were to polish his skills and weapons, would he be able to play like Baro someday. Back at Team Z's room, Isagi tries to understand the methodology behind Baro's formula in scoring a goal. With this in mind, Isagi wonders how he can use his own strengths and weapons to create his unique formula. Unable to find the answer, Isagi ignores the formula and says that he'll figure it out during their next game. Isagi then notices that his hand is shaking. Isagi remembers that if they lose to the undefeated Team V, his football dreams will come to a close. Isagi cries, fearing the end of his football career. Igaguri, nervous like Isagi, asks him for reassurance. Igaguri tells Isagi that he's so afraid of their next match that he can't go to sleep. Igaguri then shares to Isagi that if he fails in {{char}}, he will have to inherit his temple duties. Isagi, seeing the shaking Igaguri, tries to calm him down. Isagi tells Igaguri that being afraid of losing can make them stronger. Following several hours, the last game for the first selection begins. Before the match, Iemon, the tactician, announces their strategy to the team. Iemon states that Kunigami, Gagamaru. Chigiri will be their key players since they're the team's best strikers. After Iemon's announcement, Raichi tells Kuon to do nothing for the whole game. Kuon will stay in the half-way line glued to the floor. Raichi then threatens Kuon, saying that if he leaves his mark, he'll make sure (through violence) that Kuon won't be able to move after. Kuon snarks at Raichi and tells him that he's not interested in helping Team Z to win. Plus, Kuon believes that, since he's the team's top striker, he doesn't need to risk anything to survive the first selection. Bachira and Isagi marks Reo (Team V vs Team Z) Bachira and Isagi marks Reo The round starts with Reo with the ball. Isagi believes that he has a good grasp of Team V's weapons after watching clips of their games. Marked by 2 players, Reo passes the ball to Zantetsu to avoid it from being stolen by Team Z. Isagi then predicts that Zantetsu will pass since his field of vision is blocked by Naruhaya and Raichi. Isagi's guess was correct. Zantetsu passes the ball towards Nagi. Because Team Z spent time analyzing Team V's patterns, they were able to predict their movements. So, knowing that Zantetsu would pass to Nagi, Igaguri stops the ball before Nagi can receive it. Igaguri 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. Unfazed by Gagamaru's miss, Isagi believes that their current strategy will work against Team V. Witnessing Team Z's passionate play, Reo tells Nagi to do "it." 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, scoring a goal. Isagi describes Nagi as a monster in football. Watching Nagi and Reo in action, Team Z starts to find it hard to be optimistic. 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. Reo steals the ball from Kunigami (Team Z vs Team V) Reo steals the ball from Kunigami The game resumes. Team Z sticks to their tactics, believing that it is the best choice. 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 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. 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. Zantetsu and Chigiri chase for the ball (First Half, Team V vs Team Z) Zantetsu and Chigiri race for the ball The game resumes. 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. 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. 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 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 Bachira. Bachira is excited to play with strong opponents. Bachira was the only one left with a fighting spirit. Bachira feeling motivated to play against Team V Bachira feeling motivated to play against Team V 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. Meanwhile, Isagi asks Bachira how he can stay optimistic, given the game's current score. Bachira tells Isagi that he feels fired up after playing against great players. He then asks Isagi if he doesn't feel the same. Bachira then 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. Bachira does hyperspeed scissors to pass Reo (Team Z vs Team V) Bachira does hyperspeed scissors to pass Reo 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 says that the monster within him believes that those driven in a corner are the ones with nothing to lose. Reo marks Bachira. To pass through Reo's defense, Bachira did hyperspeed scissors. This shocks and confuses Reo, allowing Bachira to get past him. Reo then calls for Zantetsu help to stop Bachira. Bachira tells Zantetsu that if it were a speed battle, Bachira would've lost. So, he decided to break through Zantetsu instead with an elasatico mid-air. With Bachira on the run, Reo shouts at 3 of his teammates to stop Bachira all at once, believing that one on one won't work against him. Bachira easily passes through the 3 players and scores a goal with a rabona. The score is now 3-1, with Team V in the lead. Watching Bachira score a goal against the undefeated Team V, Team Z feels that they still have 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 have to play, Nagi found it annoying. Team Z goes to Bachira, shocked by his skills. Imamura tells Bachira that he was so amazing to be able to score by himself. Igaguri then says that Bachira did a super special goal where he went beyond his limits. Feeling the adrenaline rush, Igaguri believes that he can also do something like that. Kunigami then stops Igaguri and tells him that he doesn't have to do anything absurd like Bachira. Kunigami states that Bachira's goal was thanks to him developing his own formula. Kunigami then recommends Team Z to find and define their own formulas to score against Team V. The game resumes with 65 minutes left. Unlike before, Team Z are in high spirits thanks to Bachira's play. Raichi marks Reo (Team Z vs Team V) Raichi marks Reo Meanwhile, Isagi asks Raichi to cover Reo. Raichi then tells Isagi that he doesn't take orders from anyone. Isagi then says that Raichi's physique is much better than him, making it possible for Raichi to stop Reo. Reluctantly agreeing, Raichi threatens the team, saying that if Team Z loses in the match, he'll hunt each and every one's entire bloodline. Reo, in possession of the ball, tries to get past Raichi's defense; however, Reo finds the task difficult. Finding it impossible to get past Raichi, Reo passes the ball to Zantetsu. Nagi hits Igaguri in the face accidentally Igaguri stops the ball with his face Zantetsu receives the ball and tells Reo that he'll surely get past through the opponents' defense. Chigiri catches up to Zantetsu and stops him from his tracks. Chigiri then declares to Zantetsu that he is the speed king. Zantetsu replies that Chigiri isn't on his level, calls him a slowpoke, and runs even faster. Seeing that Zantetsu will score soon, Chigiri stops him. Zantetsu is shocked to see Chigiri catching up to him. To avoid the ball from being stolen, Zantetsu passes to Nagi. Surrounded by Igaguri and Naruhaya, Nagi receives the ball. Nagi then kicks the ball, hoping to score another goal. Noticing Nagi slowly going to a shooting position, Igaguri stops the ball with his face. Bachira then retrieves the ball. Seeing Bachira with the ball, Reo marks him. Reo then says to Bachira that his score a while ago was just a fluke. Bachira then states that the situation has changed. Unlike before, Bachira's not the only one who will attack. Bachira declares to Reo that it's time for Team Z's revival and passes the ball to Kunigami. Kunigami scores a goal and went beyond his limits Kunigami scores a goal Kunigami receives the ball. Reo shouts for his team to stop Kunigami from entering his shooting zone. Meanwhile, Kunigami sees that he's still far from his shooting range. Plus, several players from Team V are blocking his way. Gagamaru appears from Kunigami's sight and tells Kunigami to pass to him. Kunigami believes that, as a striker, passing should only be his last resort. Stuck in his thoughts, Kunigami is startled when Isagi began shouting. Isagi yells at Kunigami, telling him not to panic. Isagi then tells Kunigami to take the risk like a football superhero. Kunigami goes back to his senses. Despite not entering his shooting range (28 meters), Kunigami tries to surpass his limits and kicks the ball, hoping to score a goal. Team V failed to stop the ball, earning Team Z a goal. The first half ended with a game score of 3-2. At Team Z's Locker Room, the team is quenching their thirst and wiping away their sweats. Igaguri tells Kunigami that he was shocked to know that he had a long shooting range. Kunigami says to Igaguri that he was also surprised. Imamura jokes, saying that Kunigami surpassed his limits a while ago. Hearing that, Isagi felt motivated to find and create his formula. After that, Raichi tells the team that it's Team Z's time to turn the tables. Meanwhile, at Team V's locker room, Reo tells the team that it will be Team V's victory. Reo then explains that they should change and improve their defense to prevent Team Z from scoring. The game resumes, and the second half starts. Kunigami has the ball and passes to Bachira. Bachira then kicks the ball toward Gagamaru; however, Gagamaru ran too fast towards the pass that he went beyond its direction. To avoid the ball from being stolen by Team V, Gagamaru does a scorpion kick, an acrobatic shot. Gagamaru kicks the ball, hoping to score a goal; however, Zantetsu stopped it. Imamura screams for his teammates to retrieve the ball. Isagi gets the ball. Seeing that he's 22 meters from the goal, Isagi doubts that he can score a goal given his shooting power. Isagi finds it impossible to score a goal by himself, seeing that he's shooting course is blocked. Suddenly, Kunigami screams at Isagi and tells him to look behind him. Surprisingly, another player from Team V appears from Isagi's back. Caught unprepared, the ball was stolen from Isagi. Raichi shouts at Isagi and calls him stupid. Raichi remarks that he should've scored a goal, but, instead, he choked. While Isagi was thinking, 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 asks if Team Z is stupid, believing 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 brokethrough Nagi's defense. On the other hand, Anri and Ego are watching the match between Team Z and Team V on a screen. Anri tells Ego that the match is really heated. Ego then says to Anri that a striker's ego can only be born during the most extreme and harsh conditions. During this, the striker is challenged to go beyond his limits to overcome the obstacles in front of him. Ego then remarks that, according to his observation, a great striker should be able to constantly evolve. At {{char}}'s monitoring room, Ego asks Anri if she knows what awakening is. Anri wonders if it's related to suddenly awakening superpowers. She asks if it's like how someone normal gets superhuman powers. Ego tells Anri that she's wrong, saying that only idiots would say that. Ego explains that awakening is not a supernatural phenomenon. Ego notes that awakening is like a puzzle. Like a puzzle, football has many pieces toward success. When these scramble parts fit into their proper places, the ego will bloom. Ego concludes that awakening is the moment when a striker learns who he really is and his capabilities. Reo punches Raichi (Team Z vs Team V) Reo punches Raichi Meanwhile, Reo, with the ball, finds it difficult to do something because of Raichi's defense. Reo likened Raichi to an annoying stalker. Raichi then tells Reo that he knows how Reo plays. Raichi says to Reo that, before every pass he does, he looks around the field, looking around for teammates who are in a comfortable and safe spot. Raichi then says that, without Nagi, Reo is just a poor dexterous guy. Offended by Raichi's taunts, Reo punches Raichi. Because of this, Reo is given a yellow card for malicious foul play. Raichi then steals the ball from Reo, who is distracted by his sudden yellow card. Raichi passes the ball to Chigiri. Zantetsu catches up with Chigiri, telling him that he is the fastest one. Chigiri tries to run past Zantetsu; however, Zantetsu was quick to respond. Chigiri believes that Zantetsu's weapon may be his explosive acceleration. In hopes of passing through Zantetsu, Chigiri kicks the ball. Zantetsu tells Chigiri that no one is there to receive the ball. Chigiri explains to Zantetsu that it was a pass to himself. Zantetsu tells Chigiri that he was naive to think that he'll get the ball before him. Chigiri sprints faster than he's ever done before, passing through Zantetsu. Chigiri kicks the ball and successfully scores a goal. The score is now 3-3. 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, Team V unbothered by Kuon's remarks. Reo has the ball. 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. Reo believes that the field is currently controlled by Team Z. Knowing that, Reo can't believe that he and Nagi will lose. Reo notes that the playing field is currently controlled by Team Z Team Z is controlling the game 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. Chigiri tries to intercept the ball but failed. Zantetsu passes the ball to Nagi. Nagi score and 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 has awakened Nagi's slumbering potential. With only 15 minutes left, Team Z is near to having a nervous breakdown. Gagamaru says that if nothing will be done, Team Z will lose. Raichi then shouts, telling them that they should attack. Raichi threatens them, saying that if all his efforts are wasted, he will kill them. Raichi remarks that, as strikers, Team Z should be able to fight back. The game resumes. Bachira, with the ball, kicks towards Chigiri. Zantetsu catches up with Chigiri and tries to steal the ball from him. Chigiri notes that Zantetsu's initial velocity is greater than his; however, Chigiri's top speed is quicker than Zantetsu's. Before Chigiri and Zantetsu reach the ball, 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. Then, Chigiri retrieves the ball while Zantetsu tries to catch up. Reo calls his teammates, telling them to stop Chigiri. A player from Team V says that Chigiri won't be able to score since he is outnumbered. Chigiri proves them wrong, however. He also points out the gap in Team V's defense. Chigiri kicks the ball, but he hits the pole and misses. Fortunately, Gagamaru rebounded the ball. Reo supports their goalkeeper and stops Gagamaru's kick. Luckily, Kunigami retrieved the ball. In his shooting range, Kunigami kicks the ball, scoring a goal. Isagi then notes that what happened was how he imagined it exactly. The score is now 4-4. Understanding his weapons a bit, Isagi believes that he can use his eyes to see the field's future. A flashback of Kuon's past appears. A young Kuon shows his schoolmates their football club registration. Now that Kuon and his friends have 11 players, the school allowed them to create their own football club. Kuon remarks that with a little push, they can win at the nationals. One of his clubmates laughs at him and tells him that his dream is too high to reach. Kuon says, however, that if they want to play football, they should at least aim at being professionals. The football club wins the game after another; however, it was only in the beginning. Slowly, some of Kuon's teammates stop attending practice. Then, during matches, some won't get to their proper places. Kuon asks the team don't they want to win and go to the nationals. His clubmates laugh at him, saying that Kuon's taking football too seriously. His clubmates then say that Kuon is too much, making playing football with him no fun. Kuon realizes that, among all of his clubmates, he was the only one seriously playing football. He goes home and sees an envelope at the table. The letter was an invitation for a player improvement project called {{char}}. With a new resolve, Kuon vows to win even if he has to do it alone. Kuon grabs Nagi's head to stop him (First Selection Arc) Kuon pulls Nagis's head Back at the game, the match will soon come to an end. With only 5 minutes left, the score is 4-4. Kuon is in awe of Team Z, managing to catch up with Team V even though they are at a disadvantage. With only 10 players, Team Z is one by one improving their football. However, because of Nagi's sudden awakening, Team Z is struggling to score one more goal. Right now, both Kuon and Kunigami have scored 3 goals with no fouls. On the other hand, Kuon is currently the top-ranking player. With that in mind, Kuon will be the only one to advance if Team Z loses in this match. So, if Kuon just stays in his place doing nothing, he'll be able to survive {{char}}. Meanwhile, Nagi 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. 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. Isagi is shocked at Kuon and asked him why he did that. Kuon answers, saying that by stopping Nagi, Team Z can still fight. There's only a minute left in the match. Team V (Nagi, Zantetsu, Reo) declares that they will defeat Team Z Team V declares that they will defeat Team Z Iemon stops Reo's kick (First Selection Arc) Iemon stops Reo's kick Reo runs toward Nagi, asking him if he was fine. Nagi tells Reo that he's okay. Reo then 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 new 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. 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. Fortunately, Gagamaru stops the ball. Isagi receives the loose ball. Isagi believes that this is his last chance. Isagi has the ball. It's an all or nothing for Team Z. Isagi notes that he can see the field's future. He says that he knows who among Team Z can keep the ball rolling and running. It is revealed that Isagi is referring to Bachira, Kunigami, and Chigiri. Isagi says that the goal scent is coming from those three players. Reo appears in front of Isagi, telling him that he'll put a stop to Isagi. Before Reo can steal the ball from Isagi, Isagi passes the ball to Bachira. With his dribbling skills, Bachira cuts through the enemy line. Desperate to stop him, Team V will even resort to fouling just to end Bachira's dribbling. Before Bachira is tackled by a player from Team V, he passes the ball back to Isagi. Isagi sees Chigiri and kicks the ball toward him. Kuon cheers for Team Z to win Kuon cheers for Team Z With his immense speed, Chigiri runs through the field. To stop Chigiri, Team V tries to outnumber him. To avoid the ball from being stolen, Chigiri passes it back to Isagi. Chigiri believes that they can score using a one-two. Chigiri runs past the 2 players from Team V and waits for Isagi to pass the ball back. Chigiri then realized that Isagi used him as a decoy. Isagi was planning to shoot by himself. Meanwhile, Kuon was watching the match. When Kuon looks at Team Z's fighting spirit, he declares that he won't let himself become a person who'll just stand by and watch. After that, Kuon yells and cheers for Team Z, shouting that they can do it. With only 35 meters to the goal and 2 defenders in front, Isagi passes the ball to Kunigami. Suddenly, Zantetsu appears in between them. Zantetsu kicks the ball, making Kunigami lose the ball. Zantetsu tells Kunigami that he won't let him do his mid-shot. The ball is now loose, with both teams desperate to retrieve it. Raichi runs toward the ball and picks it up. Raichi passes to Bachira. Meanwhile, 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. Bachira says that he believes in Isagi, telling him that this is their last chance. Just as how Isagi 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 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, in his mind, concedes defeat. Isagi scores a goal with a direct shot (one-touch shot) (First Selection Arc; Team Z vs Team V) Isagi scores a goal with a direct shot 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 realizes that the final piece to complete his goal, his missing puzzle piece. 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.
