BLUE LOCK (ブルーロック)

Bachira-kun.

Hm?

U-Uh, if possible, I'd like you to hit a pass or two to me, too...

Th-That was too bold of me, wasn't it? Forgive me.

Keep it coming my way.

I will score glam goals and win the game for us.

'Kay.

Hey. Let's get this over with quickly and move on.

Instant kill.

Sure thing.

Let's go play...

some really fun soccer!

Aryu-kun?

What do you use on your hair?

Huh?

Just the stuff in the communal bath, like everyone else.

But your cuticles are way too glam.

You must have natural-born glam.

Don't touch my hair.

Oh, sorry. Your hair's just too beautiful.

I obey the laws of glam.

It's an honor to be taking on a fellow member of the glam fam.

Nice to meet you, Chigiri Hyoma.

He's so tall.

So this is who I'm matched up with, huh?

You have rather a classical-sounding name, in spite of how you look.

Nice to meet you, Aryu Jyubei-san.

Don't call me that! That first name is totally not glam!

It oozes with the unmistakable outdatedness of a Warring States samurai.

It is my only complex.

Let me erase all thought of it with some glam poses!

Ah, stop, Aryu-kun!

GLAM

GLAM

If you move around too much, you'll use up all your energy!

H-Hey, Isagi, are you sure these guys are strong?

Aryu-kun? What is it?

Yeah, they're really good at soccer.

Are you okay? You're still stylish, Aryu-kun!

Shut up, all of you!

Get into your formation already and let's do this.

Yikes! I'm sorry!

U-Um, do you think we could take a rain check?

Huh?

Well, Aryu-kun's in a state, so let's wait till we're all at our best—

Overruled.

Get in position or I'll kill you.

Ah, we're done for. This is the end.

An authoritative guy like him will end up running society.

Confident people will always win and live happily ever after.

They don't even know our pain.

They just keep winning without suffering any setbacks.

Isagi, we're changing formation.

I'm gonna end this super-negative shithead.

Who exactly hasn't suffered setbacks? Huh?!

Oh man, you're terrifying!

I can't budge him?

Is he some kind of super strong herbivore?

Okay. In that case, could you switch positions with Barou... Um, Nagi?

Sorry, Isagi. But can I make a request, too?

Huh?

I have to do something that excites me. Otherwise, not choosing Reo was pointless.

I want to play against the number one.

I want to become stronger.

Okay.

But if you lose, I'll crush you myself.

I'll be the one who devours everything on this field.

So, with that sorted...

Let's do this, Bachira.

Put everything on the line.

Throw everything at him.

The winner...

will be me!

Are you ready, Isagi?

Let's start with...

Ultra-fast scissors, cranked up to the max?

Just try and take it.

One backward false step...

and a quick turn!

What? I used to be able to shake him with that move.

What happened? Did he read it?

He's looking around the whole field to position himself.

He's not just focused on our one-on-one.

He's stopping me from going the way he doesn't want me to go.

Nagi's on that side, so they can recover if Isagi's slow to defend.

But on this side, there's no one behind, so if I run past him, I'm through on goal.

He matched up with me, knowing this was the most critical point in their defense.

His assessment of the situation in the moment is on a whole new level!

What's up, Bachira? Try and run past me.

I see that how you use your eyes has evolved.

In that case, I'll gamble...

on attacking down this side!

Figured you would.

I'll take that, Blunt Bangs.

Barou?

He read my movement and came to double up on me with Isagi?

Bachira-kun, hit it back here!

If I must.

Huh?

Thanks.

Isagi?

Damn it!

Move, bastard!

Huh? What are they doing?

I thought they'd positioned themselves to work in combination.

But they used the other one and devoured them while competing for the ball?

Link-up devouring? It's an anti-combo!

How am I supposed to read that on first sight?

Float one over.

I know just where you want it.

A slice. Nice ball.

Hm?

So he's not rushing in because he's wary of my first touch.

I'm not a fan of the awkward amount of space he's giving me.

If I knock it forward without slowing, he has time to react.

If I stop the ball here, he only has to take a step and he's on me.

What superb positioning.

All it took was one game for you to be able to read my game this well, Itoshi Rin?

That's a genius for you.

Now, what should I do?

You feeling this? It's the only spot available...

Red Panther.

Bring it on. I'll run past everyone!

That was a very glam pass.

If I gauge the distance of Aryu and Rin, with me running at top speed...

In that split second before we all collide...

That's the coordinates of my one and only chance to smash through!

Whoa. Are these guys for real?

They seized the ball through the anti-combo of Isagi and Barou.

And the moment they got it, Isagi and Nagi instantly shared the same vision.

Nagi responded by taking it down superbly and hitting a killer pass.

And Chigirin's legs were able to react to all of it.

This is the chemical reaction they've come up with to beat us.

Isagi Yoichi

Barou Shouei

This super link-up play!

Isagi Yoichi

Barou Shouei

Nagi Seishiro

Chigiri Hyoma

They are truly worthy opponents.

All right!

Nice one, missy.

Yes!

I've been waiting for you, egoist.

The monster inside me is over the moon.

It's 35 meters to the goal.

Even for Rin, that's not a distance he can shoot from.
