Blue Lock: Isagi the egoist

The countdown to the U-20 World Cup had begun.

From the start of the Neo Egoist League (NEL) to his current days in Madrid, everything had been a blur.

The intensity of the competition, the ruthlessness of training, and the sheer insanity of Isagi's progression—all of it had led to this point.

Only 20 days remained.

And Isagi refused to waste a single second.

While Re Ál Madrid's standard training schedule was already brutal—four days of high-level training, rest days in between, and a game at the end of the week—

Isagi changed the rules.

My rest is matchday.

He pushed himself harder than anyone else.

Every drill. Every scrimmage. Every match.

While his teammates took breathers, Isagi kept going.

While they conserved energy for game day, Isagi treated the game as part of his training.

Spain was known for its technical masters, its footballing IQ, and its tactical perfectionists.

But nobody could stop Isagi Yoichi.

Not Atletico.Not Barcelona.Not Sevilla.Not even top defenders like Rudiger, Gvardiol, or Koundé.

Match after match, Isagi tore through defenses, leaving players stumbling, outclassed, and utterly helpless.

🔥 A hat-trick against Sevilla.🔥 Five goals against Villarreal.🔥 A historic quadruple against Valencia.🔥 And against Barcelona?

He scored in the opening 10 seconds.

Not just a goal.

A statement.

"Isagi Yoichi isn't just a wonderkid.""He's the next GOAT in the making.""He might be the most complete player in football history."

With every game, his market value skyrocketed.

🔥 35 million euros.🔥 47,8 million euros.🔥 60 million euros.

It didn't stop.

Every top club in Europe watched his rise with hungry eyes.

Manchester City.Real Madrid.Bayern Munich.Paris Saint-Germain.

But Isagi didn't care about that yet.

Money? Status? Legendary clubs?

All of that would come later.

Right now, his one and only goal—

The U-20 World Cup.

While Isagi was conquering Spain, back in Japan, the remaining Blue Lock players were waging their own war.

Ego had shown them the reality.

📺 They had seen every second of Isagi's games.📺 They had witnessed him transform into a one-man army.📺 They saw him evolve into the most dangerous player in the world.

And yet—

"You still have a chance."

Ego's voice echoed through the training facility.

"Isagi Yoichi is proof that evolution never stops. If you can't close the gap, then you're worthless."

Sae clenched his fists.

Rin bit his lip, eyes burning with fury.

Barou, Kaiser, Shidou, Kunigami—they all refused to accept it.

Put Isagi anywhere on the field, and he'd still score.

He makes world-class defenders look like children.

If we don't evolve, we'll be left behind.

So they pushed themselves beyond their limits.

Training till they collapsed.Forcing their bodies to keep up.Struggling, failing, adapting, learning.

They weren't chasing Isagi anymore.

They were chasing their own ultimate selves.

As the last days before the U-20 World Cup approached, the world was holding its breath.

Would Isagi's dominance translate to the grandest stage?

Would Japan, a team built by Blue Lock's monsters, shock the world?

Would the world witness the birth of the greatest player in football history?

20 days.

And then, the war would begin.

AN: Question: Do you want Kaiser to play for Germany or for Japan? Blue Lock may pull some strings, this will shape up to be a wild U-20 World Cup.
