Review
Isagi has locked in and is determined to deliver his top performance. He knows that two defenders are in front of him, and he needs to get past them. His plan? A diagonal sidestep combined with a quick burst of speed to throw off Kaiser and Rin. This movement is unpredictable, and neither of them can anticipate Isagi’s next move, allowing him to slip between the two defenders.
Isagi’s light begins to shine as he confidently states that he has broken through their defenses, leaving only the finish to complete. But this is Blue Lock, and nothing ever goes that smoothly. Just when things seem clear, a familiar face – Kunigami – makes a sudden appearance.
Kunigami’s Stunning Intervention
Kunigami uses his powerful legs to leap into the sky, meeting the ball mid-air. He reminds Isagi that this moment is a repayment for a past favor, calling them even now. Typical Blue Lock banter ensues as Kunigami refers to Isagi as a “piece of shit” in a display of fierce sportsmanship.
Both Kaiser and Rin are in awe as Isagi performs a mid-air quick draw, delivering an ambidextrous direct shot with ease. The ball sails into the net effortlessly, giving Bastard München their first goal of the match. Isagi’s attack pieces align, and in that moment, he crafts a new, unique attacking pattern.
Rin’s Dark Challenge
But just as Isagi is celebrating, Rin appears behind him, engulfed in an aura of darkness. His cold and determined expression shocks Isagi. Rin tells him that his performance is “too lukewarm” and warns him not to forget about him. Isagi is left in disbelief, wondering how Rin managed to catch up so quickly.
This unexpected confrontation reveals a new side of Rin – a more focused, aggressive force that has just pushed Isagi to the next level of competition. With determination unlike anything we’ve seen before, Isagi is left questioning how Rin could have predicted and countered his moves so quickly.
Isagi’s Ultimate Attack Pattern
As the match intensifies, Kaiser refers to the moment as “The Raider Edition,” escalating the stakes. Isagi realizes the full gravity of the situation as both Rin and Kaiser are now fully focused on his every move. Should he try to trap the ball and fool Kaiser, or go for the shot, risking Rin’s interference?
In that pressure-packed moment, Isagi understands that neither option is good enough. He must innovate once again. Drawing inspiration from past encounters, like Baru shadowing him in the U-20 match, Isagi decides to create an entirely new attack pattern, one that neither Kaiser nor Rin can anticipate. The battle continues, with Isagi once again rising to the challenge, pushing the limits of his skills.
