1. What is this place?
Copy !req
2. Huh? What the heck?
Copy !req
3. What's about to happen?
Copy !req
4. "Blue Lock Man"?
Copy !req
5. A hologram?
Copy !req
6. They want me to score a goal?
Copy !req
7. It's getting smaller...
Copy !req
8. I see.
Copy !req
9. This is penalty area
situational training.
Copy !req
10. You must assess the situation fast,
Copy !req
11. run into the space that's
getting smaller by the second,
Copy !req
12. outwit the goalkeeper,
Copy !req
13. and grab a goal!
Copy !req
14. Sweet. Right on the money.
Copy !req
15. It's on the perfect line.
Copy !req
16. Seriously? He stopped that?
Copy !req
17. That wasn't a high school-level save.
Copy !req
18. Wait, did a hologram just touch the ball?
Copy !req
19. Oh, I get it.
Copy !req
20. I have to score 100 goals past this Blue
Lock Man in 90 minutes to clear the stage.
Copy !req
21. A lone battle that tests my ego
in the penalty area.
Copy !req
22. I can't score a goal by just taking potshots.
Copy !req
23. You can't clear this room unless
you have an exceptional weapon.
Copy !req
24. Interesting.
Copy !req
25. Bring it on.
Copy !req
26. There! From the left.
Copy !req
27. The goal's on the right this time.
Copy !req
28. I have to assess the space in a flash!
Copy !req
29. The ball's trajectory...
Copy !req
30. Feel the speed of it...
Copy !req
31. Efficiently glide toward where it'll fall...
Copy !req
32. Then gauge the distance to the goalie,
Copy !req
33. and hit it first-time!
Copy !req
34. All right, that works.
Copy !req
35. But this training is seriously amazing!
Copy !req
36. It recreates the final
moments in front of goal,
Copy !req
37. which means I won't clear the stage if
I don't hone my weapon and improve my shots.
Copy !req
38. This is good. I can do this.
Copy !req
39. My weapon works!
Copy !req
40. There are more holograms now?
Copy !req
41. Makes sense. It's a penalty area simulation,
so there'd obviously be defenders.
Copy !req
42. There!
Copy !req
43. Ack! This is hard!
Copy !req
44. The difficulty level just shot up.
Copy !req
45. That won't work. I need to be more accurate.
Copy !req
46. I need to evolve or I won't clear this stage!
Copy !req
47. This training room lined with high-res panels
that can fire balls from its walls at random
Copy !req
48. improves upon similar facilities used by
Germany's top clubs to hone explosive power.
Copy !req
49. It can create situations based on
each player's individual qualities.
Copy !req
50. Crucially, it has
the Blue Lock Man system,
Copy !req
51. an AI hologram goalie programmed
using data from world-class goalies.
Copy !req
52. A microchip sensor in the ball makes physical
interactions with a hologram possible.
Copy !req
53. This is holographic sports technology.
Copy !req
54. I'll cut to the chase, Ego-san.
Copy !req
55. We're out of funds.
Copy !req
56. Shut up, Anri-chan.
Copy !req
57. This is exactly what I envisioned.
Copy !req
58. The way to clear this stage will change
depending on how a player uses their skills.
Copy !req
59. For those who survived because
others did the scoring for them,
Copy !req
60. this 90-minute stage will be a challenge.
Copy !req
61. But for a striker who can turn zero
into one with their own weapon,
Copy !req
62. this is a place to hone and polish
their skills so they evolve.
Copy !req
63. Test out how you use your weapon
and feel your progress.
Copy !req
64. When you leave this room, you will all
be on a whole new level as strikers.
Copy !req
65. Yeah!
Copy !req
66. The three dummies appear at random.
Copy !req
67. Where the ball comes from, its trajectory,
plus where the goalie is...
Copy !req
68. If I can get all that down...
Copy !req
69. I can grab a goal!
Copy !req
70. It looks like those who are improving
are making visible strides forward.
Copy !req
71. This training is incredible.
Copy !req
72. You haven't seen anything yet, Anri-chan.
Copy !req
73. This is just the beginning.
Copy !req
74. "max"?
Copy !req
75. L-Let's take a breath.
Copy !req
76. I just need to do the same as before.
Copy !req
77. That's crazy fast! And it's got spin, too!
Copy !req
78. It's tough to get good contact on it!
Copy !req
79. So this is what "Level: max" means?
Copy !req
80. Just like in a real game, high-level balls
come at you, and the dummies move randomly.
Copy !req
81. This is an artificial recreation of what
happens in the box in top-level matches.
Copy !req
82. Assessing the situation and responding.
Quality shooting with accuracy.
Copy !req
83. And the stamina to sustain
all that for 90 minutes.
Copy !req
84. Mind, technique, physical strength.
You need all of them to pass this stage.
Copy !req
85. A pretender will find out
just how powerless he is.
Copy !req
86. Damn it. I can't score at all.
Copy !req
87. But I can still keep running around,
thanks to the physical conditioning we did.
Copy !req
88. Now that I'm here,
I think I finally understand.
Copy !req
89. My goals were made possible
because of Bachira's passes.
Copy !req
90. Unlike these erratic balls, he fed me with
passes where and how I wanted them.
Copy !req
91. Kunigami drew the defenders
toward him to become a wall for me.
Copy !req
92. Chigiri was always waiting for
a pass from me in my field of vision.
Copy !req
93. Because of those guys,
I was able to score goals.
Copy !req
94. I wasn't fighting alone.
Copy !req
95. But that's not good enough.
Copy !req
96. I want the kind of strength
that allows me to fight alone!
Copy !req
97. I need to pull together all my skills.
Prioritize what must be done.
Copy !req
98. Hone everything and focus. Let's do this!
Copy !req
99. Assess the situation in a flash!
Copy !req
100. Note where the defenders and goalie are,
Copy !req
101. then run directly to where I'll shoot from.
Copy !req
102. Gauge the trajectory and spin of the ball,
then blast it into the top left corner!
Copy !req
103. No good.
Copy !req
104. My spatial awareness
and positioning are perfect,
Copy !req
105. but my direct shot isn't
going where I envision.
Copy !req
106. Damn it.
Copy !req
107. Trying again with the
same mindset is pointless.
Copy !req
108. What I'm lacking right now is
the technique to make good contact.
Copy !req
109. Bachira's passes were
very easy to take first-time.
Copy !req
110. But the balls in this room are erratic
and tough to connect with.
Copy !req
111. I see. Just blindly blasting it won't help.
Copy !req
112. I only need to use 80%... No, 70% of the
power I've been using to shoot up to now.
Copy !req
113. In that final moment, I need to direct
all of my attention to the point of impact!
Copy !req
114. This is it. This is the essence of my goal.
Copy !req
115. Tricks and formulas exist
to score a simple direct shot!
Copy !req
116. Oh man. This is so much fun!
Copy !req
117. I keep discovering sides of me
I didn't know about before!
Copy !req
118. That boy's improving rapidly.
Copy !req
119. We humans are creatures that
only see what we want to see.
Copy !req
120. Becoming aware of your limitations changes
how you see and think about everything.
Copy !req
121. Right now, he must be...
Copy !req
122. Yeah!
Copy !req
123. trembling at his own evolution.
Copy !req
124. I've never thought so deeply
about the shots I take before.
Copy !req
125. I know I can get even stronger!
Copy !req
126. Is this the second stage?
Copy !req
127. A team of three?
Copy !req
128. Nagi and Reo are here, too.
Copy !req
129. Oh, right. A team of three means
they must be waiting for Zantetsu.
Copy !req
130. Oh, hey, Isagi's here.
Copy !req
131. Bachira!
Copy !req
132. Yay!
Copy !req
133. Reunited again!
Copy !req
134. Good job. Congrats on clearing the stage.
Copy !req
135. Oh, I see.
Copy !req
136. So all we have to do for the
second stage is form a team?
Copy !req
137. Who do you want to fill the last spot?
Copy !req
138. Huh?
Copy !req
139. Me plus you leaves one spot free.
Copy !req
140. So he just went ahead and decided
we were on the same team, huh?
Copy !req
141. Not that I mind.
Copy !req
142. Who should we pick?
Copy !req
143. Let's see...
Copy !req
144. The players that come to
mind who I'd want are...
Copy !req
145. Kunigami or Chigiri, I guess.
Copy !req
146. Nice.
Copy !req
147. But since it's a team of three, we can only
pick one. So which would you prefer?
Copy !req
148. How about teaming up with
the one who gets here first?
Copy !req
149. Sounds good.
Copy !req
150. And that will be our new team.
Copy !req
151. Great.
Copy !req
152. Hey, Isagi Yoichi.
Copy !req
153. Want to join our team?
Copy !req
154. Huh?
Copy !req
155. Come join our team.
Copy !req
156. Hey now, Nagi. This is the guy
you wanted to team up with?
Copy !req
157. Yeah.
Copy !req
158. In the game against his team,
he was the most impressive.
Copy !req
159. I want to play soccer with him.
Copy !req
160. Well, you heard him.
Copy !req
161. Now what? You accepting the offer?
Copy !req
162. Of course not.
Copy !req
163. I'm teaming up with you, Bachira.
Copy !req
164. I'm sorry, Nagi.
Copy !req
165. But I can't join you alone.
Copy !req
166. There you go.
Copy !req
167. I see. Then...
Copy !req
168. I'll join Isagi's team.
Copy !req
169. What?
Copy !req
170. Huh?
Copy !req
171. That solves the problem, right?
Copy !req
172. What...
Copy !req
173. What are you talking about, Nagi?
Copy !req
174. You're teaming up with me. That's a must.
Copy !req
175. What are you thinking? What about me?
Copy !req
176. Reo, you taught me soccer.
Copy !req
177. You and I will become the best in the world.
Copy !req
178. That is certain.
Copy !req
179. But we did lose.
Copy !req
180. We weren't the strongest.
Copy !req
181. To understand this feeling of frustration I experienced for the first time,
Copy !req
182. I want to play soccer with him.
Copy !req
183. I really want to give it my all.
Copy !req
184. Are you serious?
Copy !req
185. Do what you want.
Copy !req
186. What do you think, Isagi?
Copy !req
187. If I could get Kunigami or
Chigiri, I'd feel reassured.
Copy !req
188. And I know that's the best way. But...
Copy !req
189. But...
Copy !req
190. I also want to...
Copy !req
191. Join us, Nagi.
Copy !req
192. Yup.
Copy !req
193. See you later, Reo.
I'll wait for you on the other side.
Copy !req
194. Looking forward to it, Nagicchi!
Copy !req
195. Yeah, likewise.
Copy !req
196. He looked a little sad.
Copy !req
197. Are you actually a cold person?
Copy !req
198. Huh? I guess I'd be lying
if I said I don't miss him.
Copy !req
199. But I was more excited to join you two.
Copy !req
200. Shouldn't I be following
that aspect of my ego?
Copy !req
201. That's the kind of place Blue Lock is.
Copy !req
202. That's right. Only egoists survive here.
Copy !req
203. If they're true egoists,
I'll see them again after this stage.
Copy !req
204. So for now...
Copy !req
205. Nagi, let's work together.
Copy !req
206. Yes, let's.
Copy !req
207. With this team, I don't see how we can lose!
Copy !req
208. Seriously. Are we the strongest or what?
Copy !req
209. Let's go.
Copy !req
210. We will win!
Copy !req
211. Itoshi Rin!
Copy !req
212. Hello there, diamonds in the rough.
Copy !req
213. This is the third stage
of the second selection.
Copy !req
214. Team battles of three-on-three.
Copy !req
215. We're facing this guy right off the bat?
Copy !req
216. Kunigami!
Copy !req
217. Chigiri!
Copy !req
218. Good job on clearing the first stage.
Copy !req
219. You're the only familiar face I see.
Copy !req
220. I talked to the others, and it seems
Isagi, Bachira, and Nagi formed a team
Copy !req
221. and went on ahead.
Copy !req
222. For real?
Copy !req
223. So they left me behind, huh?
That pisses me off.
Copy !req
224. Yeah. My thoughts exactly.
Copy !req
225. So, Kunigami, I have a proposal.
Copy !req
226. Y'know, Chigiri, I reckon I might
be thinking the same thing.
Copy !req
227. Let's team up.
Copy !req
228. Let's team up.
Copy !req
229. The third stage is a situation battle of
three-man teams in a mini-game format.
Copy !req
230. Blue Lock Man will be
the goalie for both teams,
Copy !req
231. and the first team to score five goals wins.
Copy !req
232. And the winning team...
Copy !req
233. will get to steal a player from the
losing team to create a four-man team.
Copy !req
234. Steal a player?
Copy !req
235. Oh, it sounds like that game.
You know the one. It's called, uh...
Copy !req
236. Red Rover.
Copy !req
237. Yeah, that's it.
Copy !req
238. As you progress through the stage,
you acquire more players.
Copy !req
239. If you're able to make a team of five
and get to the fifth stage,
Copy !req
240. that team passes the second selection.
Copy !req
241. And what happens to the losing team?
Copy !req
242. They go back down with
their remaining members.
Copy !req
243. If you lose the game of two-on-two,
Copy !req
244. and you don't get picked by the
winning team, you're disqualified.
Copy !req
245. That's the full picture of the second selection
where you steal your rivals: the Rivalry Battle.
Copy !req
246. You're free to choose which team you battle.
Copy !req
247. Both teams must agree to play a match.
Copy !req
248. So more teams of three
will be showing up here?
Copy !req
249. I guess so.
Copy !req
250. In that case, these guys don't
have to be our opponents.
Copy !req
251. If we can steal a player when we win,
Copy !req
252. then shouldn't we choose which team
to play based on who we want?
Copy !req
253. Exactly.
Copy !req
254. Who you battle will be
the key to clearing this stage.
Copy !req
255. To serve as an index for you, I will now
announce new Blue Lock rankings.
Copy !req
256. Naturally, there are
no fake rankings this time.
Copy !req
257. This is the order in which
you passed the first stage.
Copy !req
258. You stand here because you're all players
who can turn zero into one on the field.
Copy !req
259. Hurl your "one" at another's, mix them together,
and enhance each other to survive.
Copy !req
260. Only strikers who dominate the
chemical reaction between ego and ego
Copy !req
261. will get a ticket to the next stage.
Copy !req
262. Use any means necessary to win.
Copy !req
263. From here on, it's a battle
of stealing friends or rivals.
Copy !req
264. That's a pretty nasty rule.
Copy !req
265. In short, we advance by winning
and forming a team of five?
Copy !req
266. Yup.
Copy !req
267. But anyway, it looks like we can take
our time picking our opponent.
Copy !req
268. What do you want to do, Isagi?
Copy !req
269. Should we wait for someone new or...
Copy !req
270. Oh man, oh man!
Copy !req
271. I don't want to do this.
Copy !req
272. If we lose...
Copy !req
273. no one will pick me.
Copy !req
274. And if I lose again after that?
Copy !req
275. Then I'll be all alone!
Copy !req
276. No, no, no! I don't want this!
Copy !req
277. Huh? His confidence
seems to be rock bottom.
Copy !req
278. If we play, it's gotta be against
fourth, fifth, and sixth.
Copy !req
279. That's the glam thing to do.
Copy !req
280. Beating those bumpkins over there
won't make me look beautiful.
Copy !req
281. Shut up. I don't care who we play.
Copy !req
282. I'll just win and move on.
Copy !req
283. You two are here to make up the numbers.
Copy !req
284. Huh?
Copy !req
285. I admit your whole look is glam,
Copy !req
286. but who do you think you are,
disregarding me like that?
Copy !req
287. H-Hey now. Please don't fight.
Copy !req
288. What's up with these guys?
Aren't they a team?
Copy !req
289. "Glam"?
Copy !req
290. I think he means "glamorous."
Copy !req
291. Don't get me wrong.
Copy !req
292. We're only a team because
we passed that last stage quickly.
Copy !req
293. You're nothing but stepping stones to me.
Copy !req
294. You and this Blue Lock.
Copy !req
295. I can join the U-20s national
team if I win this thing.
Copy !req
296. I'm only here to exploit that system.
Copy !req
297. Everything I do is for the purpose of
getting onto the national team
Copy !req
298. and surpassing my big brother.
Copy !req
299. Crushing Itoshi Sae is
everything to me in soccer.
Copy !req
300. I knew it. This guy is...
Copy !req
301. He's the little brother of that
genius midfielder, Itoshi Sae.
Copy !req
302. Man, how egoistic is this guy?
Copy !req
303. There are only weirdos in that team.
Copy !req
304. Hmph. Even your upbringing is glam.
Copy !req
305. You're worthy of being my teammate.
Copy !req
306. Teaming up with a star like him?
Copy !req
307. I know I'll only drag him down.
Copy !req
308. Bachira. Nagi. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
309. Huh?
Copy !req
310. I know this is risky, but...
Copy !req
311. So you don't care who you play?
Copy !req
312. What?
Copy !req
313. My ego is telling me:
Copy !req
314. Play us.
Copy !req
315. I wanna fight him!
Copy !req
316. That's the spirit!
Copy !req
317. That was my plan.
Copy !req
318. Huh?
Copy !req
319. Are you talking to me?
Copy !req
320. More importantly...
Copy !req
321. Sure. I don't care who I play.
Copy !req
322. I want this guy!
Copy !req
323. Blue Lock, Additional Time.
Copy !req
324. Goodbye, bro.
Copy !req
325. This is as far as I go.
Copy !req
326. When you become the
best striker in the world,
Copy !req
327. I'll become a TV personality
as your impersonator.
Copy !req
328. My stage name will be "Keisuke Davidson."
Copy !req
329. See ya, bro!
Copy !req
330. Make sure you survive!
Copy !req
331. Leave it to me, Keisuke.
Copy !req
332. I will crush those who have separated us!
Copy !req
333. That's what I'm saying.
Copy !req
334. Wait, he just...
Copy !req
335. He can speak normally?
Copy !req
336. What a weirdo!
Copy !req
337. Scary!
Copy !req
