BLUE LOCK (ブルーロック)

Nice goal, Nagi! Just like I envisioned it!

Reo, can I play hooky now?

Not yet. Five more goals, then you can.

Aw. How about four?

What was that goal just now?

A super long pass from over his shoulder?

Not to mention, the topspin on it and how it dropped like a stone.

Controlling that ball on the run is difficult enough in itself.

But he also had a defender on either side of him.

If his control wasn't pinpoint, they could've stolen it off him at any time.

But he plucked it out of the air without breaking stride.

So many high-level techniques were packed into that one moment.

That's the top-ranked player in Building 5...

Nagi Seishiro.

Five more goals?

What a hassle.

This is the monster we're up against?

Episode 9

Awakening

What the heck was that?

Pure luck.

It's only one goal.

It's time for us to attack! Namusan!

We gotta do this.

That's right. We have to stick to what we know.

Kunigami!

Right.

If I can get the ball there...

Ten more meters.

Six... Three...

You're still not in shooting range, are you...

Kunigami Gains-kun?

Hold it! I won't let you!

He's good at holding onto it.

Ready for another, Nagi?

The same play as before?

Stop him, Raichi and Igaguri!

I'll go press him!

That trick won't work a second time!

It popped up! This is our chance!

Seriously?

Wh-What the hell was that?

That was no joke.

st

This is bad. It's already 2-0!

Our plan won't work now!

Is there a way out of this?

Hey, Kunigami!

Why'd ya let him take the ball?

Ya should've scored! If the front line ain't doin' its job, we can't win!

Shut up.

Do your job and defend.

Enough!

If we lose this game, we're done. We just need to play our best so we can win!

H-He's right! We can't give up!

Namusan! Never give up!

Namu ami-double up!

We still have one weapon left.

Go, Chigiri!

Right!

The flank! Get the ball!

I will turn the tables with these legs of mine!

This guy...

He's fast!

Someone was faster than Chigiri?

Nice, Zantetsu!

I'll go to him! He's gonna pass to Nagi!

Damn it! I'll drop back, too!

In that case...

Go on, Zantetsu.

This is your territory, right?

Oh, crap. We put too many people on Nagi and left that guy free.

Move back up, Naruhaya!

Yeah, this is my territory.

Reo...

What exactly does "territory" mean?

Wearing fake glasses won't make you smart, y'know.

Stupid Zantetsu.

We can still do this.

Namu ami... double... up...

It's a hopeless situation.

Right now, none us believe fighting to win is an option anymore.

I love it.

This is getting fun.

What's with that guy?

No idea.

Bachira, what are you talking about?

Huh? I mean, isn't that trio just incredible?

I'm all hyped up!

Huh? We're 3-0 down! At this rate, we'll never—

Wait, Isagi. Don't tell me you're scared.

Sure, their goals were super special.

But the solution is obvious. We need...

to be super special, too!

Wha—

Isagi! Hey, pass!

Uh, but they already know our plan—

So we go beyond that.

C'mon, hurry it up or they'll steal it.

If weapons and formulas didn't work when we used them to the max,

then if we manage to score against them, it'll be when we've surpassed our limits, right?

The monster inside me is saying:

"We should be excited, not scared, when we're in a desperate situation."

Bachira...

You're interesting.

Bring it on, Bachira Meguru!

You got it.

I'll run past you!

Wow.

Ultra-fast step overs?

Feinting left, but you're going right, yeah?

A roulette?

Zantetsu!

Oh no you don't, Blunt Bangs.

Speedy Specs.

In that case...

A lob?

If we both go for it, I've got the advantage.

Outside. So he's going left.

Wait, right?

Zoom!

An air elástico?!

Hey, it worked! Wow, there's no end to my inspiration!

My bad! Crazy guy inbound!

Just three more and I'm at the goal!

All three of you go tackle him!

I love it.

We're here to become the best striker in the world.

If I can't beat you, that means I'm only at that level as a striker.

Three more.

Bachira, you're amazing.

You look so happy to be playing soccer.

You're totally right.

If this is going to be the last serious game of my whole soccer career...

Two...

One...

I can leave the despair for when I've lost!

Right now, in order to win, I will...

Boom!

Bastard! Don't screw with...

Aw yeah, Bachira!

A rabona?!

So cool!

Did you see my super special goal?

See? It's getting fun now, right?

th

Only plays where we push past our limits will let us score goals!

They seem to have a sense of, uh... complacency?

The word you want is "camaraderie."

Silly Zantetsu.

He's interesting.

We'll have to crush him completely.

Aw, man. Sounds like a hassle.

That was a super special limit-breaking goal!

That was so cool, Bachira!

I feel like I can break my limits now, too!

Surpassing your limits doesn't mean just being reckless.

Nice play, Bachira.

Wait, it doesn't?

That goal was born out of Bachira's weapon: his dribbling.

Your "limit" means your formula, right?

You're right.

I tried all that stuff 'cause I was inspired, and I just happened to succeed.

In short, we have to try new things in this game and evolve, or we'll lose.

Right.

Bachira's play has changed our perspective.

We have 65 minutes left.

What we need to do is evolve our ego!

Let's go get one more!

Yeah!

I'll find this evolved formula that works only for me!

Just look at them, all hyped up like that.
