Kuon develops a new strategy for the next game to let everyone shine in a three-shift, front-three pattern. The match begins. The Wanima brothers have a strong communication style, using eye contact to know when to pass. They seem to know Chigiri and trigger him by taunting him about his injury.

Isagi blocks their shot just in time and tells Chigiri to ignore them. Team Z scores two goals. One of the Wanima brothers plays a foul, landing Team Z to get a free hit, scoring them another point. They scored 3-0 in the first half, all points scored by Kuon.

The Wanima brothers score two points in the next half. Kuon initially apologizes for letting them score, but Isagi glimpses a strange smile on his face. Team W seems to have guessed Team Z’s strategy.

Isagi deduces that since Kuon scored all the goals in the first half but let Team W catch up in the second, he’s betraying them so he could be the top scorer and proceed to the following selection alone.

Isagi confronts Kuon, and the Wanima brothers confirm his deduction. Kuon joins their team and tells team Z they’ll be playing 12-10. Ego lets this continue. Kuon tells Isagi he did this because they have no chance of beating Team V, who won Team Y 8-0. Team W scores again, leading them by 4-3.

About Blue Lock

Blue Lock is a Japanese manga series written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since August 2018. Blue Lock won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2021.

The story begins with Japan’s elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which prompts the Japanese Football Union to start a program scouting high school players who will begin training in preparation for the 2022 Cup.

Isagi Youichi, a forward, receives an invitation to this program soon after his team loses the chance to go to Nationals because he passed to his less-skilled teammate.

Their coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who intends to “destroy Japanese loser football” by introducing a radical new training regimen: isolate 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called “Blue Lock”.
