Blue Lock: Isagi the egoist

After Isagi's record-breaking goal, the energy in the stadium had shifted.

Japan's U-20 players were rattled—their confidence shaken to the core.

But they weren't out yet.

With Itoshi Sae leading the charge, they tightened their formation, focusing on defensive stability while waiting for their chance to strike.

Blue Lock was in control, their attacks relentless, but the U-20 defense held strong.

Aiku, Aryuu, and Otoya were the last bastion of resistance.

They weren't just going to roll over and accept defeat.

40th minute.

Japan U-20 finally found an opening.

It started with Sae Itoshi.

He effortlessly stole the ball from Nagi.He dribbled past Rin like he wasn't even there.He toyed with Barou, forcing him into an unnecessary foul.

A freekick, 30 meters from goal.

The entire stadium fell silent.

Sae stood over the ball, his eyes cold, calculating.

Isagi watched closely. What's his move?

Sae took two steps back… then fired.

BOOM.

The ball curved like a missile, bypassing the wall, dipping at the last moment.

Gagamaru reacted instantly—diving to his left—

But it was too late.

The ball blasted into the net.

GOAL!

1-1.

The Japan U-20 team erupted in celebration.

Sae smirked, looking at Isagi.

"Don't think this is going to be easy, Yoichi."

Isagi grinned back.

"Good. I was getting bored."

The game restarted.

But now, Isagi had shifted gears.

It was time to put the game to bed.

But that left gaps in their defense.

"Yoichi!"

He fired a perfect through ball.

Isagi… already on the move.

Aiku and Aryuu closed in on him.

But Isagi was faster.

He was one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

No hesitation.

BOOM.

A powerful strike into the top corner.

GOAL!

The crowd exploded.

Blue Lock was proving its dominance.

Isagi raised his fist, staring directly at Sae.

"Your move, genius."

Japan's U-20 made their move.

Ego's voice echoed through the stadium:

"Substitution: Sendou Shuto out. Shidou Ryusei in."

The crowd buzzed with excitement.

Shidou grinned, stepping onto the pitch like a predator ready to feast.

"Finally! Let's make this game fun."

Sae smirked, glancing at him.

"This lunatic might actually be useful."

Japan U-20 went on the attack.

Shidou immediately made his presence known.

He broke past Niko with raw power.He nutmegged Igarashi like he was a child.He rushed into the box, waiting for Sae's pass.

A deadly curved pass.

The ball whipped through the air—right to Shidou.

Too late.

Shidou jumped—spinning midair—

A scissor kick.

The ball rocketed into the net.

GOAL!

3-2.

Shidou laughed maniacally.

"ISAGI! YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING COOLER THAN THAT!"

Isagi smirked.

"Watch me."

90th minute.

Blue Lock needed one more goal.

The game was closing, but Japan U-20 was pressing hard.

Rin entered his destroyer mode, trying to break through.

But Sae shut him down instantly.

"Too predictable, Rin. You're nothing like Yoichi."

Isagi read the entire field.

He saw the gap—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And then—he did the unthinkable.

From inside his own half,

Isagi kicked the ball with insane power.

A long, soaring cross—but this wasn't a normal pass.

It was for himself.

The ball landed deep into Japan U-20's half…

And then—

ISAGI SPRINTED.

Faster than anyone thought possible.

Aiku, and the entire U-20 defense rushed to stop him.

But they couldn't keep up.

Isagi was the first to touch it.

With his left foot.

A one-touch volley.

Using the outside of his foot, giving it a beautiful curve.

The ball spun through the air—a perfect arc.

Wakatsuki jumped—full stretch.

The Keeper MISSED?!

GOAL!

4-2.

The stadium erupted in chaos.

The final whistle blew.

Blue Lock had defeated Japan U-20.

Every player shined, proving their worth.

But Isagi…

He shocked the entire world.

Commentators screamed:

"THIS MAN JUST CREATED A PLAY THAT DEFIES LOGIC!"

"ISAGI YOICHI—THE FUTURE OF JAPANESE FOOTBALL!"

Sae exhaled, shaking his head.

"You're a real monster, Yoichi."

Shidou grinned.

"Alright, I take it back. That was sick."

Rin stood frozen.

His destroyer mode had failed.

He had to watch Isagi surpass him… again.

But for Isagi, this was just the beginning.

He looked up at the sky and whispered—

"Noah. We'll meet again soon."
