BLUE LOCK (ブルーロック)

I was born to prove this talent of mine.

Using these legs to outrun everyone was a joy that was only available to me.

I was going to be the best striker in the world someday.

Back then, I had no doubts about that being the future that awaited me.

But...

Episode 7

Rush

Good job, Team Z.

You won't get away with this! I'll kill you, Kuon!

Cool it, Raichi.

Do you want a red card?

So you've betrayed us, huh, Kuon-chan?

What are we gonna do? It's 12-on-10 now.

Damn it.

I can't let it end like this!

I'll crush them!

I told you, man.

Kuon-chan told us everything.

Your weapons, your tactics, all of it!

Take you, Isagi Yoichi, for example.

While you have outstanding spatial awareness,

you're a dunce who can't do anything by himself!

Just give it up, Isagi-kun.

As a sport, soccer is 11 against 11.

If it's 12-on-10...

you have no chance of winning.

Here he comes. Defend!

Not only do they know our tactics, we're at a total disadvantage playing 10 against 12.

If they score again, we won't be able to turn this around...

Iemon!

There!

Nice, Iemon!

Get the loose ball! One goal's all we need! Let's focus on not losing.

We only need to tie.

I'll defend this goal if it kills me!

Get it, Chigiri!

You're so slow.

Don't worry. Today, we'll end your soccer career for good.

You just stand there and watch!

The hell are you doing, Chigiri?!

Don't just stop!

Shut up.

I'm...

Listen up, new members!

We're the Wanima brothers, the two star players of Rakosute Business High School,

a mainstay in the National High School Soccer Championship.

"Respect your supreme seniors!"

That's what my bro says.

Excuse me.

Hm?

I came to this school to win the championship so I can make a name for myself.

Could you please get rid of this unproductive hierarchy you've got?

Hm? And who exactly are you?

I'm Chigiri Hyoma.

If I beat you, will you please zip it?

So fast!

What's with this guy?

Let's go with one up top again in the next match to take advantage of Chigiri's speed.

Becoming national champs isn't just a dream now!

Rakosute Business High School

"Don't get cocky just 'cause Coach favors you."

That's what my bro says.

Whatever. It's simply a matter of whether you have talent or not.

That so, Mr. Genius?

Excuse me.

Talent isn't dished out equally.

I am one of the chosen.

The day I outran everyone for the first time at the age of six,

soccer became everything to me.

In this world, there are those who have talent and those who don't.

If you keep this up, you'll rocket onto the national scene. Your feelings on that?

Nothing special. I mean, I can do more.

I'll do my best.

Chigiri-kun!

He's the genius!

Using these legs to outrun everyone was a joy that was only available to me.

I was going to be the best striker in the world someday.

Back then, I was in no doubt that that was the future that awaited me.

It's a right ACL tear.

Hyoma-kun's leg muscles have developed in a unique way,

which explains why he's so good at sprinting.

If he were to experience a tear in the same place again,

it would be difficult for him to continue playing soccer.

Isn't that the former genius?

Come on.

Oh? It's been a while, Mr. Genius (lol).

Why are you here?

What are you worth now that you can no longer run and your talent's in tatters?

"It's simply a matter of whether you have talent or not." Right?

Serves you right, former genius!

Damn it.

Damn it!

Rakosute Business High School

Hey, everyone. Chigiri is back.

Good job on your rehabilitation.

Just take your time to get back into it.

Right.

Hey, what's the matter, Mr. Genius (lol)?

Is this it? What happened to those nimble feet you were so proud of?

Shut up. Mind your own business.

You scared to sprint 'cause you might damage your knee again? Huh?

Shut up!

I'm not scared of wrecking my right leg again.

All this time, I truly believed I could become number one in the world.

I'm scared of losing who I am.

Ever since then, I've been looking for a way to give up.

Five more minutes.

Five more minutes, and we lose.

And then, after that...

I can put an end to my soccer career.

Run, Chigiri!

It's not...

It's not over yet!

Nice, Raichi and Kunigami!

Go get the loose ball!

Isagi, one more time!

Right!

Come on now. It'll be the same outcome no matter how many times you try.

We know all your weapons and tactics.

And it's 12 against 10!

Not long left, so let's defend our lead, guys!

Damn it! What do we do?

If we don't break through their defense, we can't do a thing.

Bachira's being marked constantly.

Kunigami has no space to take a shot.

If I play it into the area...

No, that won't work, because we're outnumbered.

Find it.

Think.

There has to be a route to goal somewhere...

What's this, Isagi-kun?

You don't still believe you can win if you just refuse to give up, do you?

Matches don't allow for naïve thinking like that.

Even if you don't give up, the game ends when the game ends.

See? It's nearly over.

You're going to lose.

Shit.

A-Additional time! We've got three minutes!

This is bad! Isagi, pass the ball!

The ball!

No... I don't want it to end here.

If we can't use anyone's weapons...

I'll tear them apart myself!
