Episode 16 Recap

In a JFU meeting, Teieri notes that the top players in Blue Lock compete against and cooperate. Others, who favor hiring the best player available, disagree.

Ego criticizes their desire for someone who might appear successful but will falter due to a lack of preparation. He saw talent as the capacity to enhance one’s physical attributes and abilities rather than as a natural gift.

Isagi and Nagi discover that Barou is scrupulous about adhering to a routine- rigorous training or strict hygiene; his self-discipline is the secret to his proficient shooting and physique.

Isagi is surprised when she discovers Kunigami and Chigiri are still in the third stage at the public bath. All of the teams agree to face off against one another.

Given that Nagi and Barou are unwilling to work together, Isagi decides to act as their mediator. While Bachira tries to convince Itoshi that soccer can be more than a game, Tokimitshu and Aryu search for a team willing to play them.

Barou receives the ball from opening the game while Kunigami marks him. His inability to pass enables Mikage to evade Isagi and steal the ball, which he then passes to Chigiri. He outruns Nagi and scores the opening goal.

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”.
