1. How?
Copy !req
2. How have I been brought to my knees
without even scoring once?
Copy !req
3. I'm supposed to be the king of the field.
Copy !req
4. I... used to play the lead on the field.
Copy !req
5. Y-You're amazing, Barou-kun.
Copy !req
6. I had talent.
Copy !req
7. I'm so happy you're on my team!
Copy !req
8. Everyone else was in a supporting role.
Copy !req
9. You all need to move so I can score.
Copy !req
10. Sure thing!
Copy !req
11. We're invincible now!
Copy !req
12. They're happy even though
they're just the supporting cast.
Copy !req
13. Why do they even play soccer?
Copy !req
14. I am the king.
Copy !req
15. I gave up trying to understand others,
and pursued my own style of soccer.
Copy !req
16. Then, it hit me. I didn't like soccer
because I got to feel like a king.
Copy !req
17. And it obviously wasn't because
I loved kicking a ball around.
Copy !req
18. I liked it because I could grab someone
who'd dedicated their whole life to soccer
Copy !req
19. and drag them off the stage and
out of the spotlight with my goals.
Copy !req
20. I found myself playing
to taste that exhilaration.
Copy !req
21. I know, more than anyone...
Copy !req
22. that it's a feeling of incomparable joy,
Copy !req
23. only available to the truly strong.
Copy !req
24. If they score next, we lose, Isagi.
Copy !req
25. It's our ball. Let's go get one.
Copy !req
26. Yeah, let's start our comeback here—
Copy !req
27. Go on!
Copy !req
28. For real?
Copy !req
29. A direct shot?
Copy !req
30. Ah, damn it!
Copy !req
31. Kunigami, the loose ball!
Copy !req
32. Right!
Copy !req
33. Let's go, Reo! Time for a swift counter—
Copy !req
34. Just you try it, Kunigami Gains-kun.
Copy !req
35. Man, he was on me fast!
Copy !req
36. Over here, Kunigami!
We can't lose it so close to the goal!
Copy !req
37. Nice, Reo. All yours!
Copy !req
38. What?
Copy !req
39. He read my movement?
Copy !req
40. I won't...
Copy !req
41. let you have it all your own way!
Copy !req
42. Loose ball.
Copy !req
43. It's finally here.
Copy !req
44. My big chance to become the lead.
Copy !req
45. The ideal zone for my shot is wide open.
Copy !req
46. If I eat up the last few meters
with my first touch,
Copy !req
47. I can hit a precise shot toward goal!
Copy !req
48. You're one step short, King.
Copy !req
49. I'm faster.
Copy !req
50. Bastard.
Copy !req
51. If I take a touch, he'll catch up to me!
Copy !req
52. Damn, damn, damn!
Copy !req
53. What do I do? Do I shoot
even though I'm not in range?
Copy !req
54. Damn it!
Copy !req
55. My ideal zone is right there!
Copy !req
56. I'm one step...
Copy !req
57. too short.
Copy !req
58. Give me the ball.
Copy !req
59. That was a nice pass, donkey.
Copy !req
60. You need to move so I can score.
Copy !req
61. What is this feeling?
Copy !req
62. This despair that's gripping my heart?
Copy !req
63. Is it defeat?
Copy !req
64. I didn't make that pass myself.
Copy !req
65. It was forced out of me.
Copy !req
66. In that moment, I lost to Isagi Yoichi.
Copy !req
67. Don't stand in my way.
Copy !req
68. Or I'll kill you.
Copy !req
69. You have no talent.
Copy !req
70. Do you want the king to
personally crush you?
Copy !req
71. Go back to sleep, average Joe.
Copy !req
72. I'll decide what I do.
Copy !req
73. I'd rather die than play for someone else.
Copy !req
74. You all need to move so I can score.
Copy !req
75. In that moment, he was the lead,
Copy !req
76. and soccer didn't exist to serve me.
Copy !req
77. I wasn't a king at all.
Copy !req
78. Isagi's unstoppable right now.
Copy !req
79. The next play will be the last.
Copy !req
80. Keep Isagi from getting
the ball at all costs.
Copy !req
81. Right. I don't think
we can stop him if he gets it.
Copy !req
82. It's our ball at the restart,
so we'll kick off the last play.
Copy !req
83. We will score the next goal and win.
Copy !req
84. If they take the ball from us, we lose.
Copy !req
85. In that case, let's use my speed.
Copy !req
86. Right now, that route gives us
the best possibility of scoring.
Copy !req
87. Okay, that's the general plan, then.
Copy !req
88. If we want to bet everything on
the last shot, it's our best option.
Copy !req
89. We will win this.
Copy !req
90. Yeah.
Copy !req
91. It's all I'm here for.
Copy !req
92. It's their ball at the restart.
Copy !req
93. Before anything else,
we have to get the ball.
Copy !req
94. Yup.
Copy !req
95. But we gotta watch out for Chigiri.
Copy !req
96. Even if we mark him,
he can outrun us in a foot race.
Copy !req
97. And if he controls it like he did earlier,
his speed won't drop at all.
Copy !req
98. If we start our sprints at the same time,
there's no way we can beat him.
Copy !req
99. In that case...
Copy !req
100. We have to stop him before that.
Copy !req
101. You have a plan?
Copy !req
102. Yeah, I'll stick on Reo and—
Copy !req
103. Wait, hold on.
Copy !req
104. Do we want to share this with him?
Copy !req
105. It's easier to defend with three of us,
and if we concede next, we're done.
Copy !req
106. It's pointless saying anything
to a dethroned king.
Copy !req
107. You and I will decide how
this last play turns out.
Copy !req
108. All right.
Copy !req
109. Their defense is focused on
blocking the route to Chigiri?
Copy !req
110. While the route to Kunigami
is pretty much wide open?
Copy !req
111. Which means they don't care
if I pass it that way.
Copy !req
112. Damn. I want to use Chigiri's speed,
Copy !req
113. but like this, any pass to him
will put him at a disadvantage.
Copy !req
114. And Nagi is laser-focused
on marking Chigiri.
Copy !req
115. They've seen through our tactic completely.
Copy !req
116. Kunigami!
Copy !req
117. So I'm not a threat, huh?
Copy !req
118. But what do we do?
Copy !req
119. Any less-than-perfect pass is too risky.
Copy !req
120. Should I try beating Barou?
Copy !req
121. No, that's also way too risky.
Copy !req
122. Reo, go again!
Copy !req
123. It won't work. Kunigami and I
can't go on the attack here.
Copy !req
124. No. What the hell am I thinking?
Copy !req
125. I'm gonna beat this guy!
Copy !req
126. I will force open...
Copy !req
127. the route to Chigiri!
Copy !req
128. Not yet.
Copy !req
129. Draw him in.
Copy !req
130. I don't need to get past him.
Copy !req
131. A clear path is all I need.
Copy !req
132. One moment will do!
Copy !req
133. I see it!
Copy !req
134. Run!
Copy !req
135. Okay!
Copy !req
136. I win, Isagi Yoichi!
Copy !req
137. Leave it all to me!
Copy !req
138. This guy...
Copy !req
139. Where's he going?
Copy !req
140. He's charging down my pass.
Surely he's not...
Copy !req
141. Knowing he can't beat Chigiri for speed,
he's trying to... intercept my pass himself?
Copy !req
142. Nice pass, Reo.
Copy !req
143. That's what we were waiting for.
Copy !req
144. Huh? You're kidding.
Copy !req
145. This whole situation was part of his plan?
Copy !req
146. If he doesn't get a touch on the ball,
Chigiri will get it and it's game over.
Copy !req
147. Reach it.
Copy !req
148. They've taken such a huge gamble
in the last minutes of the match?
Copy !req
149. Aw, man. That was super close.
Copy !req
150. L-Loose ball!
Copy !req
151. Let's go, donkey.
Copy !req
152. Bring it, King!
Copy !req
153. Once I'd accepted this thing called defeat,
Copy !req
154. it became crystal clear to me
that this field is shining for his goals.
Copy !req
155. Strangely, I'm fine with it.
Copy !req
156. Maybe because I'm no longer the lead.
Copy !req
157. This way!
Copy !req
158. I'm here, too!
Copy !req
159. This guy...
Copy !req
160. Hold up, you bastard!
Copy !req
161. I won't let you have it
all your own way, genius!
Copy !req
162. You again, Meddling Missy?
Copy !req
163. I've never felt like this before.
Copy !req
164. They're taunting me with
all these routes to scoring.
Copy !req
165. And showing me that, in my supporting role,
I can make a pass and we can win.
Copy !req
166. I can be a vital piece in our next goal.
Copy !req
167. You two are shining too damn bright for me.
Copy !req
168. Damn. So that's what it was about.
Copy !req
169. All of the supporting cast who
have fed me passes up to now...
Copy !req
170. This is how they felt.
Copy !req
171. This sense of defeat
can only be salvaged...
Copy !req
172. by entrusting the goal
to the supreme strikers!
Copy !req
173. We can win with my pass.
Copy !req
174. So this is what being a "team" means.
Copy !req
175. This is how I create a
chemical reaction with them.
Copy !req
176. For the defeated man in the supporting role,
this is his reason for existing.
Copy !req
177. What's this?
Copy !req
178. What's going on?
Copy !req
179. What's clinging to me?
Copy !req
180. Is this the future that
awaits me after this pass?
Copy !req
181. I see.
Copy !req
182. Entrusting the goal to them...
Copy !req
183. might indeed salvage me
from this sense of defeat.
Copy !req
184. But that's just escapism for
those with broken dreams
Copy !req
185. who can't bear to deny
the lives they've led so far.
Copy !req
186. That's right. It's nothing
but a loser's excuse.
Copy !req
187. I refuse...
Copy !req
188. to live in a future...
Copy !req
189. like that!
Copy !req
190. A chop feint?
Copy !req
191. And acute-angle dribbling?
Copy !req
192. The path I need to see is...
Copy !req
193. Barou!
Copy !req
194. Didn't know he could do that.
Copy !req
195. Tch. This is bad.
Copy !req
196. If he passes to Isagi, we're done for.
Copy !req
197. Which way?
Copy !req
198. Is he looking to dribble past me?
Copy !req
199. No, that motion can only be a pass!
Copy !req
200. What? Consecutive chops?
Copy !req
201. He used Isagi as a decoy?
Copy !req
202. A lightning dribble with cutbacks
that don't lessen the power of his run!
Copy !req
203. Is this guy for real?
Copy !req
204. He's evolving at this point in the match?
Copy !req
205. Go to him, Chigiri!
Barou's not gonna pass now!
Copy !req
206. I can see it! I can feel it!
Copy !req
207. Now that I know defeat,
what I need to see is...
Copy !req
208. not some legitimate route that
entrusts the goal to the lead,
Copy !req
209. but the route that only
exists for my goal. This...
Copy !req
210. twisted path!
Copy !req
211. He used Isagi to disguise his next move?
Copy !req
212. Hidden behind the light
you're throwing out...
Copy !req
213. Now it's time for me to devour you!
Copy !req
214. These guys are devouring each other!
Copy !req
215. This is Barou's awakening.
Copy !req
216. Devouring each other to get ahead...
Copy !req
217. This is our chemical reaction!
Copy !req
218. Wow, is he gonna pass them all?
Copy !req
219. I won't be reduced to a supporting role.
Copy !req
220. Move!
Copy !req
221. If you're the lead, I'm more than happy
to play the villain who devours your light!
Copy !req
222. Holy hell, dude.
Copy !req
223. Welcome back, King.
Copy !req
224. This twisted path is my new kingly way.
Copy !req
225. I am...
Copy !req
226. the king!
Copy !req
227. Final score: 4-5.
Copy !req
228. Blue Lock Second Selection,
Third Stage: 3v3 Rivalry Battle.
Copy !req
229. Barou!
Copy !req
230. Team White are the winners.
Copy !req
231. Isagi Yoichi.
Copy !req
232. Oh. High five denied.
Copy !req
233. Nagi Seishiro.
Copy !req
234. Barou Shouei.
Copy !req
235. First of all...
Copy !req
236. Take it back.
Copy !req
237. Am I a "donkey"?
Copy !req
238. Sorry. I was wrong.
Copy !req
239. You're seriously amazing, man!
Copy !req
240. Tch. Being around you
throws me off my game.
Copy !req
241. Nice shot.
Copy !req
242. Victory! We won.
Copy !req
243. Hey, Nagi, you're...
Copy !req
244. Get off me, bastard.
Copy !req
245. Seriously though,
those chops were awesome.
Copy !req
246. Why didn't you say you could do that?
Copy !req
247. Can it.
Copy !req
248. It just came to me.
Copy !req
249. How?
Copy !req
250. Tell me more about yourself.
Copy !req
251. I always thought the field
belonged to me and me alone.
Copy !req
252. It was me versus all the rest.
Copy !req
253. But you two were the first ones
to steal the lead role away from me.
Copy !req
254. So in order to survive in Blue Lock,
Copy !req
255. I found a way to dominate
the field as the villain.
Copy !req
256. That's all there is to it.
Copy !req
257. Well, the other team was pretty strong.
Copy !req
258. If they'd been mediocre,
you wouldn't have felt that way.
Copy !req
259. I guess you're right there.
Copy !req
260. So that's how this new "chop dribbling"
weapon of yours was born, huh?
Copy !req
261. Yup. You really are amazing.
Copy !req
262. Whatever.
Copy !req
263. Villain or not, my dream is to become the
world's best striker as the king of the field.
Copy !req
264. I won't lose to you ever again, Isagi.
Copy !req
265. Hey, you just called Isagi
by his actual name for once.
Copy !req
266. Huh? Oh.
Copy !req
267. As if anyone's keeping track.
Copy !req
268. You're a real pain in the ass, Mr. Hassle Man.
Copy !req
269. I'm not Mr. Hassle Man. I'm Nagi.
Call me by my name, too.
Copy !req
270. Can it, you pest.
Copy !req
271. Hey now. That's rude.
Copy !req
272. Nagi.
Copy !req
273. Nice game.
Copy !req
274. Yup.
Copy !req
275. Incredible.
Copy !req
276. Using those chops,
he dribbled past three players,
Copy !req
277. and fired a shot of unmatched
accuracy into the top-right corner.
Copy !req
278. Looking purely at technique,
he's one of the top talents in Japan.
Copy !req
279. Barou Shouei-kun.
Copy !req
280. Was his awakening in your
calculation, Ego-san?
Copy !req
281. Nope, not at all.
That was all his own talent's doing.
Copy !req
282. Huh?
Copy !req
283. Listen, Anri-chan.
Copy !req
284. Defeat is a simple phenomenon that
must exist in the world of competition.
Copy !req
285. Even for the world's best striker,
it's impossible to win every single match.
Copy !req
286. What matters is what
you take from the defeat.
Copy !req
287. A loser is denied by the
field they're playing on.
Copy !req
288. For a fighter, there is nothing
worse than that despair.
Copy !req
289. And yet, many average Joes don't carve this
despair into their minds. That's important.
Copy !req
290. Denied for their powerlessness
and lack of talent,
Copy !req
291. they're afraid to acknowledge their mistakes
and unconsciously make excuses,
Copy !req
292. fantastically unaware they're doing so.
Copy !req
293. No, this is just the beginning.
Copy !req
294. That's right! There is
no "game over" in life!
Copy !req
295. In order to not feel like
it's all been a waste,
Copy !req
296. they trick themselves into thinking
not giving up is the right answer.
Copy !req
297. I call it "dream doping."
Copy !req
298. Their goal used to be achieving their dream,
but now their goal is the act of chasing after it.
Copy !req
299. I have zero interest in the garbage
who continue to fool themselves
Copy !req
300. by clinging onto the ghost of a dream.
Copy !req
301. If you don't live your life to
achieve your dream, it's pointless.
Copy !req
302. That's why defeat is the
crossroads for your dream.
Copy !req
303. What's needed is the strength to fully
realize your powerlessness in that moment.
Copy !req
304. The ability to feel despair.
Copy !req
305. There's a path you can only see once you've
given up on the path to your dream.
Copy !req
306. And that path leads to your new potential.
Copy !req
307. Those who continue to fight
in spite of their despair
Copy !req
308. are bestowed with the power
to achieve their dream.
Copy !req
309. Now, all you losers.
Copy !req
310. You are at your crossroads.
Copy !req
311. We were so close.
Copy !req
312. If that pass had got through,
I would've scored and we would've won!
Copy !req
313. I wasn't good enough.
Copy !req
314. I didn't stand a chance when
they showed their true strength.
Copy !req
315. That's the reality.
Copy !req
316. I lost.
Copy !req
317. Why did I even bother to...
Copy !req
318. So what do you wanna do, Isagi?
Copy !req
319. Right. We gotta pick one.
Copy !req
320. Yeah.
Copy !req
321. To beat Rin...
Copy !req
322. and win Bachira back...
Copy !req
323. the teammate I need is...
Copy !req
324. So...
Copy !req
325. Who do you wanna pick?
Copy !req
326. Teieri Anri's Blue Lock Journal!
Copy !req
327. 05:30 am: wake up,
check emails, do morning yoga.
Copy !req
328. 06:30 am: wake Ego-san,
clean Ego-san's room.
Copy !req
329. 07:30 am: breakfast.
Copy !req
330. 09:00 am: check the health data of
each player, meeting with Ego-san.
Copy !req
331. 10:00 am: check the
progress of the selection.
Copy !req
332. 10:30 am: update the
personal data on each player.
Copy !req
333. 12:30 pm: lunch.
Copy !req
334. Don't forget the hot water!
Copy !req
335. I'll continue to work hard in the afternoon
so we can win the World Cup!
Copy !req
336. 1:30 pm: study soccer.
Copy !req
337. And snack time.
Copy !req
338. 3:00 pm: check the
progress of the selection.
Copy !req
339. 3:30 pm: meeting with Ego-san.
Copy !req
340. 6:00 pm: write up reports for the JFU.
Copy !req
341. 7:30 pm: check the
health data of each player.
Copy !req
342. 8:30 pm: end of business day.
Copy !req
343. 9:00 pm: dinner!
Copy !req
344. I'm beat.
Copy !req
345. Now that I look back on it,
he only eats instant cup noodles.
Copy !req
346. I'm concerned about his health.
Copy !req
347. I want him to eat
something healthy for a change.
Copy !req
348. Ego-san!
Copy !req
349. Want a late-night snack
of stir-fried veggies?
Copy !req
350. I have broccoli salad, too.
Copy !req
351. Hm.
Copy !req
352. Food like this isn't bad
every now and then.
Copy !req
353. Yum.
Copy !req
354. You ruined everything, you jerk!
Copy !req
355. Keep it together, Anri.
Copy !req
356. Th-That's good to hear.
Copy !req
357. Good night.
Copy !req
358. All this is for the sake
of winning the World Cup.
Copy !req
