1. Rock, paper, scissors!Copy !req
2. Damn it! Isagi won!Copy !req
3. Then, staring with Isagi-kun, we'll each
say which position we want to play in.Copy !req
4. I wanna be the forward.Copy !req
5. The first selection will involve
the 55 of you in Building 5.Copy !req
6. It's a kind of five-team round robin.Copy !req
7. Only the top two teams progress.
The rest will leave Blue Lock.Copy !req
8. And those who are kicked out will forever
be ineligible for the national team.Copy !req
9. However, the top scorers from the three losing
teams will advance to the next selection.Copy !req
10. If more than one player has the most goals
in a team, we'll go by fair play points,Copy !req
11. and the player with the least
penalty points will progress.Copy !req
12. Will you prioritize your own goals
or the team's victory?Copy !req
13. The karma of a striker is put
to the test in this first selection.Copy !req
14. This is a battle about
creating soccer from zero.Copy !req
15. The first match starts in two hours.
It will be Team X versus Team Z.Copy !req
16. All right, everyone.Copy !req
17. This is our formation for the first match.Copy !req
18. We'll go for the win with Isagi-kun
as our focal point at center forward.Copy !req
19. Gotcha.Copy !req
20. Isagi's ranking is super low.
Can we win with him as our focal point?Copy !req
21. Stop complaining, Igaguri.Copy !req
22. I don't wanna play in defense.Copy !req
23. All we gotta do is win, right?Copy !req
24. No objections here.Copy !req
25. "All we gotta do is win," huh?Copy !req
26. Can you really play in goal?Copy !req
27. I lost at rock paper scissors,
so I'll just have to do it.Copy !req
28. "A battle about creating soccer from zero"?
What did he mean by that?Copy !req
29. It's almost time.Copy !req
30. My life-changing match at
Blue Lock is finally about to begin.Copy !req
31. Here they come. Team X.Copy !req
32. In the first selection,
all fouls will be called by VAR.Copy !req
33. Building 5's first match will be
a half-game lasting 45 minutes.Copy !req
34. Team X versus Team Z. Time for kick-off.Copy !req
35. You scared, Isagi?Copy !req
36. Let's have fun! Otherwise,
we'll lose. That's how soccer is.Copy !req
37. Right.Copy !req
38. He's right. There's no need to be scared.Copy !req
39. My rank is 274. I'm rock bottom.Copy !req
40. I just need to play...Copy !req
41. and climb up the ranks!Copy !req
42. Should I pass it back
and build the attack?Copy !req
43. Hey! What are you doing, Raichi?Copy !req
44. The rules say the top scorer
goes through, right?Copy !req
45. I don't care about the team.Copy !req
46. I'm doin' this my way.Copy !req
47. Now you're talking, Raichi.Copy !req
48. If that's how it works here,
I'll make no bones about playing for myself.Copy !req
49. Kunigami, I think we're
gonna get along just fine.Copy !req
50. What're ya doing?Copy !req
51. Lemme in on it!Copy !req
52. Hey! What about our positions?Copy !req
53. Get outta my way!Copy !req
54. You get outta mine.Copy !req
55. Damn it...Copy !req
56. Y'know, your physique ain't too bad...Copy !req
57. Lucky!Copy !req
58. You should pay more attention.Copy !req
59. Huh? They're fighting among themselves too?Copy !req
60. What's going on here?Copy !req
61. They're all only thinking
about themselves.Copy !req
62. This is a battle about
creating soccer from zero.Copy !req
63. Is this sorry bunched-up free-for-all what
he meant by "creating soccer from zero"?Copy !req
64. This isn't soccer.Copy !req
65. What do I do?Copy !req
66. Should I... go join them?Copy !req
67. He broke free?Copy !req
68. Don't stand in my way.Copy !req
69. Or I'll kill you.Copy !req
70. I'll stop him.Copy !req
71. He's here. Is he going left?Copy !req
72. A heel flick?Copy !req
73. Crap, he got past me.Copy !req
74. I'm sorry, Kuon! He's heading your way!Copy !req
75. Okay! I got it! Don't sweat it. It's a two-on-one!Copy !req
76. Two nutmegs in a row?Copy !req
77. What the hell is he?Copy !req
78. He's big and he's got skills!Copy !req
79. I couldn't react...Copy !req
80. Now hear me, suckers,
and remember my words.Copy !req
81. For me, the ball isn't my "friend"
or any nonsense like that.Copy !req
82. It's just a spherical servant
that exists solely so I can shine.Copy !req
83. On the field, I am the king.Copy !req
84. I-Is it even possible
to beat a guy like that?Copy !req
85. Awesome!Copy !req
86. Nice play, Barou!Copy !req
87. King Barou!Copy !req
88. You're the goalie, aren't you? Act like one!Copy !req
89. But I've never done this before.
What am I meant to do?Copy !req
90. It's only one goal. Let's calm down.Copy !req
91. He's right. If we stick to our
positions and pass it around—Copy !req
92. Huh? If we do that, then as the
center-forward, you'll be the one who scores.Copy !req
93. Losers should play in defense.Copy !req
94. All ya gotta do is pass me the ball!Copy !req
95. Hell no! Pass it to me!Copy !req
96. Huh?Copy !req
97. No, to me.Copy !req
98. No, to me! To me!Copy !req
99. Team Z, resume the game.Copy !req
100. Calm down.Copy !req
101. The match has only just begun.Copy !req
102. I mean, what are we even being tested on?Copy !req
103. Regardless, we have to win.Copy !req
104. As long as that guy doesn't get the ball...Copy !req
105. Bachira! We'll at least
pass it around between us!Copy !req
106. Okay.Copy !req
107. Huh? Igaguri, your position!Copy !req
108. Are you dense, Isagi?
The top scorer on a team survives!Copy !req
109. I'm never passing to someone else.Copy !req
110. I'm sorry for your loss.Copy !req
111. Hey, hold it!Copy !req
112. Now I get what this first
Blue Lock selection is all about.Copy !req
113. It's a battle where you only
pursue your own ability to score!Copy !req
114. Crap!Copy !req
115. You suck. It's mine now.Copy !req
116. You lost the ball? I'll kill you!Copy !req
117. Igaguri, you dumb-ass!Copy !req
118. Stay back, guys! We gotta defend!Copy !req
119. Hey, let's pass the ball
to Barou and support him.Copy !req
120. See how the other team's
having a total meltdown?Copy !req
121. Rather than chasing individual goals,
we just need to win as a team.Copy !req
122. Good call. Barou!Copy !req
123. Leave the right wing to me!Copy !req
124. I got the left!Copy !req
125. I'm leaving the defending to you!Copy !req
126. This isn't good.
They're starting to get organized.Copy !req
127. It's Barou.Copy !req
128. We gotta mark Barou!Copy !req
129. Who're you to tell us that, Igaguri?Copy !req
130. Damn. We gotta stop him.Copy !req
131. You sure throwing so many
lousy players at me is a good idea?Copy !req
132. It's no good.Copy !req
133. If we leave Barou alone, he'll scythe through
our defense, but if we only mark him...Copy !req
134. Look at all that wide-open space!Copy !req
135. other players are left totally free!Copy !req
136. Save it, Iemon!Copy !req
137. All right!Copy !req
138. A second goal!Copy !req
139. Thank you, King Barou!Copy !req
140. Crap. We're gonna lose at this rate.Copy !req
141. They're already playing as a team.Copy !req
142. It's 'cause you lost the ball, Igaguri!Copy !req
143. But we're not coordinated at all.Copy !req
144. I told you guys to stop him!Copy !req
145. Huh?Copy !req
146. You try saving it if you think it's so easy!Copy !req
147. Stop fighting!Copy !req
148. Damn it, I can't do this!Copy !req
149. Nice goal!Copy !req
150. They were all bunched-up too, a while back.Copy !req
151. Yeah!Copy !req
152. He changed all that.Copy !req
153. Barou's goal helped them to become a team!Copy !req
154. This is a battle about
creating soccer from zero.Copy !req
155. If we call this bunched-up,
free-for-all soccer "zero,"Copy !req
156. then Barou's stunning play
isn't zero, it's "one."Copy !req
157. Let's grab another goal!Copy !req
158. A strategy to win is then
built around this "one."Copy !req
159. Yeah!Copy !req
160. And that's how a team is born.Copy !req
161. Is this what he meant by
"creating soccer from zero"?Copy !req
162. If it is, we're totally useless.Copy !req
163. The bigger the goal deficit gets,
the more they think about themselves.Copy !req
164. No one's in the right mindset to think
about how to get from "zero" to "one."Copy !req
165. Meanwhile, the opponent's teamwork
keeps improving.Copy !req
166. It's impossible.Copy !req
167. This game is over.Copy !req
168. We've... lost.Copy !req
169. Man, all I've been doing is running around.Copy !req
170. There's no way we'll score five
in the next three minutes.Copy !req
171. But maybe you and I
can get one goal back.Copy !req
172. Bachira...Copy !req
173. At 5-0, the other team's guard is down,
so we might make it work this once.Copy !req
174. You in?Copy !req
175. I'm in.Copy !req
176. I will turn this team's "zero" into a "one"!Copy !req
177. I'll distract them, then hit a long ball
upfield so you can take the shot.Copy !req
178. Run, Isagi.Copy !req
179. Straight to the goal.Copy !req
180. Okay, Bachira.Copy !req
181. I'm gonna make this shot!Copy !req
182. Huh? Isagi-kun?Copy !req
183. A comeback might be impossible,Copy !req
184. but if someone scores a goal, we can
build the team structure around it.Copy !req
185. That's what it means
to go from zero to one.Copy !req
186. Surround him!Copy !req
187. Bachira and I can score a goal together.Copy !req
188. To win the next match,
that's what we need to do.Copy !req
189. Right there, Isagi.Copy !req
190. That's the light we need to lead Team Z!Copy !req
191. Bull's-eye.Copy !req
192. Yes!Copy !req
193. Nice pass, Bachira.Copy !req
194. It's a one-on-one.Copy !req
195. I'll score it!Copy !req
196. Hey, Number 11.Copy !req
197. Don't stand out more than me.Copy !req
198. I told you I'm the king.Copy !req
199. Try getting past me, sucker.Copy !req
200. What's he doing here?
Did he read my plan?Copy !req
201. What do I do? Try to get past him?Copy !req
202. But it's this guy...Copy !req
203. In a situation like this, a striker would...Copy !req
204. Isagi! Behind you!Copy !req
205. Pass it to me!Copy !req
206. I'll shoot!Copy !req
207. Here!Copy !req
208. Do I pass?Copy !req
209. No.Copy !req
210. I gotta go for it!Copy !req
211. If I want to live in Blue Lock...Copy !req
212. If I want to live as a striker...Copy !req
213. Huh?Copy !req
214. Nice ball, Isagi.Copy !req
215. There's no way he'll score from that range.Copy !req
216. Eat it!Copy !req
217. I passed... the ball...Copy !req
218. What the hell are you doin', Isagi?
Why'd ya pass it to Kunigami?Copy !req
219. I was more open than he was!Copy !req
220. No... I was planning to shoot.Copy !req
221. But for some reason, my body just—Copy !req
222. You stupid? Like, seriously stupid?
Who passes when they're shaping to shoot?Copy !req
223. Hey, hey, hey!Copy !req
224. Stop that, Raichi!Copy !req
225. We scored a goal!Copy !req
226. Huh? Are you stupid, too?Copy !req
227. Why should I be happy someone who
isn't me scored a goal in a 5-1 defeat?Copy !req
228. Didn't ya listen to the rules? At the end of
the day, it's the top scorer who goes through!Copy !req
229. But he had a chance to score and passed!Copy !req
230. Why the hell did ya even come here? Huh?Copy !req
231. I don't know...Copy !req
232. But that pass was... unintentional...Copy !req
233. What?Copy !req
234. Hey, Number 11.Copy !req
235. If you get nervous in front of goal,
you're not cut out to be a striker.Copy !req
236. You have no talent.Copy !req
237. Time's up.Copy !req
238. In Blue Lock Building 5's
first match, Team X wins 5-1.Copy !req
239. What am I doing?Copy !req
240. Didn't I say I was going to
turn the zero into a one?Copy !req
241. Am I...Copy !req
242. unfit to be a striker?Copy !req
243. First off, it was a mistake to
make Isagi the center forward!Copy !req
244. In the next game,
it'll just be me up top.Copy !req
245. No, it should be me.
We can win if I'm the center forward.Copy !req
246. I'm never playing in
defense again, you hear?Copy !req
247. Losers can shut up.Copy !req
248. What? Says the loser who
Isagi didn't wanna pass to.Copy !req
249. You wanna go?Copy !req
250. Do you?Copy !req
251. If you get nervous in front of goal,
you're not cut out to be a striker.Copy !req
252. You have no talent.Copy !req
253. Why did I pass?Copy !req
254. I haven't changed at all
since I got here. Damn it.Copy !req
255. To survive in Blue Lock,
what am I lacking as a striker?Copy !req
256. Just pass the ball to me!Copy !req
257. No, to me!Copy !req
258. Give it to me!Copy !req
259. Me. Pass to me.Copy !req
260. That's enough, all of you!Copy !req
261. Kuon...Copy !req
262. Do you understand the situation we're in?Copy !req
263. We're a team that's already lost once.Copy !req
264. Huh?Copy !req
265. This first selection is
a five-team round robin.Copy !req
266. Only the top two teams progress.Copy !req
267. Suppose all teams win two, lose two.
We'd all be on six points.Copy !req
268. Which means, in order to advance,
we have to aim higher and get seven points.Copy !req
269. That's the likely cut-off line
that will decide who progresses.Copy !req
270. So in short, if you lose twice, it's a
yellow light that's about to turn to red.Copy !req
271. We're already at the point where if we
lose the next game, we're done for.Copy !req
272. If we don't get serious about how we're
going to win, it really will be over for us.Copy !req
273. Then, have you got any good ideas?Copy !req
274. Uh, well... No, not yet...Copy !req
275. What the heck?
Then, what good is all this talk?Copy !req
276. But still, we have to do something—Copy !req
277. I have something.Copy !req
278. I couldn't have scored that goal
without Bachira and Isagi.Copy !req
279. That should show us the way.Copy !req
280. Cut the crap, musclehead!
You just wanna be the team's top scorer!Copy !req
281. But it was amazing.Copy !req
282. It was the best goal of the day, for sure.Copy !req
283. You're naked!Copy !req
284. If we just do that a lot, we can win.Copy !req
285. Right, Isagi? Right?Copy !req
286. Bachira...Copy !req
287. Oh, please! It was a fluky wonder goal.
You can't rely on that!Copy !req
288. And c'mon, dude, stop streaking!Copy !req
289. But seriously, I really don't get how
we can make a team out of just forwards.Copy !req
290. I don't think everything
that guy says is right.Copy !req
291. Chigiri.Copy !req
292. Ego talked about how to "win" the World Cup,Copy !req
293. throwing names like Cristiano Ronaldo,
Messi, and Cantona out there.Copy !req
294. But none of those guys have
ever won the World Cup.Copy !req
295. If anything, him saying "This is a battle about
creating soccer from zero" was some sort of hint.Copy !req
296. Hey, everyone.Copy !req
297. I don't have any strategies
that'll help us win,Copy !req
298. but I might know what it means
to be at soccer's "zero."Copy !req
299. Hm?Copy !req
300. So what is it, noob? Explain it to us.Copy !req
301. In today's game, all anyone was thinking
about at the start was scoring themselves,Copy !req
302. and that led to a bunched-up free-for-all.Copy !req
303. That's probably what it
means to be at "zero."Copy !req
304. Well, that really wasn't soccer at all.Copy !req
305. That's true.Copy !req
306. The thing that broke through
that "zero" was Barou's goal.Copy !req
307. It acted as a catalyst, creating a clear path
for goals, which led them to play as a team.Copy !req
308. Barou used his talents to turn the "zero"
of chaotic bunched-up soccer into a "one."Copy !req
309. Using that as a guiding principle,
a team can evolve into a "10" or even a "100."Copy !req
310. So what's required is the
power to produce that "one."Copy !req
311. Only this irresistible trait and
talent can make it possible.Copy !req
312. A striker is someone who
turns a "zero" into a "one,"Copy !req
313. and the other positions
multiply it to "10" and "100," huh?Copy !req
314. So did Ego add that rule about the team's top
scorer surviving to make us figure that out?Copy !req
315. Most likely.Copy !req
316. Because of that rule,
our egos were exposed,Copy !req
317. and we were forced to
play by and for ourselves,Copy !req
318. without thinking about
positions or tactics.Copy !req
319. And our egos have to clash
before we can truly become a team.Copy !req
320. Soccer...Copy !req
321. A team...Copy !req
322. They are created by
an irresistible striker.Copy !req
323. That must be Ego's message to us.Copy !req
324. Yes, very good. You're on the right track.Copy !req
325. Hi there, diamonds in the rough.Copy !req
326. The second match in
Building 5 just finished.Copy !req
327. Team V beat Team Y, 8-0.Copy !req
328. What? 8-0?Copy !req
329. Wow.Copy !req
330. You're on the right track,Copy !req
331. but it seems you still have no idea
how to turn zero into one.Copy !req
332. First, let's talk about this country, Japan.Copy !req
333. The Japanese love to have roles allocated
to them so they can just complete their tasks.Copy !req
334. As an example, take one
of the few major sportsCopy !req
335. where Japan is on par
with the rest of the world:Copy !req
336. Baseball.Copy !req
337. Its inning system has distinct
periods for offense and defense,Copy !req
338. and there's no physical
contact out in the field.Copy !req
339. Each role is clearly defined in this sport,
and it fits the Japanese psyche like a glove.Copy !req
340. That's why we're so strong at it.Copy !req
341. But that's not the case in soccer.Copy !req
342. It has an open field where offense and
defense alternate as the situation demands.Copy !req
343. And it can be very physical.Copy !req
344. In this sport, you can't win by simply
doing the tasks you've been given.Copy !req
345. Which is why you need personal skills.Copy !req
346. Individual skills.Copy !req
347. In Japanese soccer, the positions we can be
proud of are our midfielders and full-backs.Copy !req
348. They work like dogs for the team. They turn
the "one" created by the striker into 100.Copy !req
349. Without the devotion of those players,
Japanese soccer wouldn't be where it is now.Copy !req
350. Therefore, there will be no revolution.Copy !req
351. So diamonds in the rough,
overwrite your consciousness.Copy !req
352. In soccer, scoring a goal means
destroying the other team's structure.Copy !req
353. Which makes a striker a destroyer.Copy !req
354. The act of scoring is a revolution on the field,
where you wreck the other team's order.Copy !req
355. Diamonds in the rough, do not let yourselves
get trapped in by the notion of roles!Copy !req
356. Or you won't create one from zero.Copy !req
357. Take up your weapon, strikers!Copy !req
358. Identify it clearly.Copy !req
359. Which weapon will you use to mess with the
other team, make them yield, and destroy them?Copy !req
360. Think hard about what you can do
with your body and your mind!Copy !req
361. It's always your weapon that kick-starts
this revolution known as scoring!Copy !req
362. Victory can only exist
once you get beyond that.Copy !req
363. A weapon...Copy !req
364. That's the breakthrough we need
to win in this first selection.Copy !req
365. Blue Lock, Additional Time!Copy !req
366. Hey, Bachira. It's morning.Copy !req
367. Hey, pass... King Kazu...Copy !req
368. That's the master of the
training room, Kunigami Kinnikun!Copy !req
369. Gah, leg cramp!Copy !req
370. Don't be ridiculous.
That's the fifth time today.Copy !req
371. You're trying to skip.Copy !req
372. No, it must be broken!Copy !req
373. A full-body muscle strain and
compound fracture or something!Copy !req
374. Don't eat with your damn fingers! So gross!Copy !req
375. Use your chopsticks!Copy !req
376. Okay.Copy !req
377. Let's get those hands clean, shall we?Copy !req
378. Are you his mom?Copy !req
379. It's Mommy Kuon!Copy !req
380. What you up to, Chigiri?Copy !req
381. Hair care.Copy !req
382. What you up to, Imamura?Copy !req
383. Skin care.Copy !req
384. Is he... supposed to be sleeping?Copy !req
385. Crazy posture.Copy !req
386. I knew he didn't have a broken bone.Copy !req
387. Lying brat.Copy !req
