[00:24] HAYATE/I     From that double touch feint, he'll go here*! [00:31] BACHIRA     You ready? [00:32] BACHIRA     Air rush turn! [00:37] ISAGI/I     I'm in behind! [00:38] ISAGI/I     You're perfect at this, Bachira. [00:41] ISAGI/I     This'll work. [00:42] ISAGI/I     Our style of soccer... [00:43] ISAGI/I     can slice right through them! [00:51] ISAGI/I     Wha... [00:52] ISAGI/I     Are you serious? [00:55] ISAGI/I     What's he doing here? [01:06] TEREASA     A superb clearance by Oliver Aiku! [01:11] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [01:12] ISAGI/I     What he did just now... [01:14] ISAGI/I     From the defense line, [01:16] ISAGI/I     he could see where everyone was on*     the field and where the pass might land. [01:20] ISAGI/I     He assessed the situation in a flash, [01:22] ISAGI/I     and ran to where the likely     danger point was without hesitation. [01:27] ISAGI/I     That's the kind of reflex I want to use near     the goal, but he makes full use of it to defend. [01:33] ISAGI/I     His field of vision, his brain, his physique... [01:38] ISAGI/I     His defending is on a whole other level     from any defenders I've faced before. [01:44] ISAGI/I     This is a real defender. [01:46] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [01:47] ISAGI/I     This is Oliver Aiku. [01:50] AIKU     Here comes the throw-in! [01:53] ISAGI/I     We've got to crush him... [01:55] ISAGI/I     or we'll never win this match. [03:30] SIGN     Episode [03:30] SIGN     Episode [03:31] SIGN     Itoshi Sae [03:39] ISAGI/I     No matter how much we pass it     around, with Aiku on patrol, [03:43] ISAGI/I     we won't make it through the middle. [03:45] ISAGI/I     So we'll get in behind. [03:47] ISAGI/I     Our second option is... [03:49] ISAGI/I     to break through down     the right wing. Otoya! [03:51] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [03:52] OTOYA     'Kay. A stealthy breakthrough it is. [03:55] DARAI     Ah, yes. I can smell it. [03:58] DARAI     I can see right through that move. [04:01] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [04:04] OTOYA     What do you want, you inked-up monk? [04:07] DARAI     The yin and the yang. [04:09] DARAI     The field has two sides:     the foreground and the background. [04:15] DARAI     There are those who receive     the ball and stand in the foreground, [04:18] DARAI     and there are shadows who lurk in     the background and go for one-shot kills. [04:22] OTOYA/I     He's keeping up with     my off-the-ball movements? [04:26] DARAI     Too bad, ninja. [04:28] DARAI     I'm the same as you. [04:32] DARAI     Yes, I can smell it. [04:35] OTOYA/I     This guy... [04:37] OTOYA/I     He's anticipating where in the     background I want to place myself. [04:41] DARAI     Can't you be a little sneakier, junior ninja? [04:45] OTOYA     Shut up. [04:48] ISAGI/I     Otoya can't get past him? [04:51] ISAGI/I     I can't pass it to him like this. [04:53] RIN     Isagi! Shift gears! [04:55] ISAGI     Right! [04:56] ISAGI/I     Onto the next option. [04:58] ISAGI/I     We'll try the other wing. [04:59] ISAGI/I     Crush him one-on-one... [05:02] ISAGI/I     Yukimiya! [05:03] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [05:03] YUKIMIYA     My turn at last. [05:06] NERU     Your goggles are so cool. [05:09] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [05:11] YUKIMIYA     Thanks, short stuff. [05:18] YUKIMIYA/I     La Boba! [05:20] NERU     This way? [05:21] NERU     You're faster than your data says. [05:23] YUKIMIYA/I     This guy... I thought I passed him. [05:27] YUKIMIYA/I     He's a speedy defender, huh? [05:30] NERU     Over here? [05:32] NERU     I'm not really the carnivorous,     rough-and-tumble kind. [05:35] NERU     I'm the herbivorous,     fleet-footed kind of defender. [05:38] YUKIMIYA     You sure are confident for a herbivore. [05:42] ISAGI/I     Seriously? Yukimiya's being tracked? [05:46] NERU     Here? [05:47] ISAGI/I     He can't get past him? [05:49] IGARASHI     He's as fast as lightning! [05:50] RAICHI     Who the hell is that full-back? [05:52] ISAGI     Second ball! [05:53] NAGI     Got it. [05:54] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [05:55] NAGI/I     It'll be tough to slice through them. [05:58] NAGI/I     I'll control it and turn, then— [06:00] NIOU     Destruction! [06:02] NIOU     Super Controller,     I ain't giving you any freedom. [06:06] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [06:08] NAGI/I     He's fast into the press.     And his physicality is something else. [06:12] NAGI/I     I can't turn goalward to build a move. [06:14] ISAGI/I     His pressing stopped Nagi     from using his control. [06:18] ISAGI/I     That guy's the powerful, pressing type! [06:22] NIOU     Call me Dobermann. [06:24] NAGI     Are you a guard dog? [06:26] NIOU     Yup. [06:27] NIOU     And here comes my master. [06:32] AIKU     Good boy, Niou. [06:37] ISAGI/I     Aiku took it? [06:39] ISAGI/I     This chain of amazing defensive plays... [06:41] ISAGI/I     This is the U-20s' Iron Wall Quartet! [06:46] AIKU     You're not moving, Blue Lock. [06:51] ISAGI/I     He beat me. One pass through the lines     and the tables have turned. [06:55] ISAGI/I     The guy waiting for it is... [06:58] ISAGI/I     Itoshi Sae! [07:01] AIKU     Now, show us what you've got, Li'l Genius. [07:05] AIKU     It's time for your debut. [07:07] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [07:09] TEREASA     And Itoshi Sae's on the ball. [07:11] TEREASA     What will he show us? [07:14] SPECTATOR A     Here we go! [07:15] SPECTATOR C     Pass it through all of them! [07:18] IGARASHI     Go to him! Go to him! [07:19] NANASE     Hang in there! [07:19] RAICHI     The hell are you doing?! [07:22] CHIGIRI/I     I won't let you! [07:23] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [07:24] CHIGIRI/I     We know we need to hedge     our bets in case of a counter. [07:27] CHIGIRI/I     When Bachira moves up, I fall back     into defense. That's our system. [07:32] CHIGIRI/I     I'll use my speed to stop you! [07:36] CHIGIRI/I     Huh? Passing it already? [07:38] CHIGIRI/I     Such quick decision-making. [07:39] CHIGIRI/I     And he's hit a super-tough, mid-speed     driven pass more than 50 meters? [07:46] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [07:48] CHOU     In-credible. [07:52] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [07:52] ARYU     I will be your opponent,     Mannequin Muscleman. [07:56] CHOU     Nope. [07:58] CHOU     Kitsune. [07:59] KITSUNEZATO     All right, nice. [08:00] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [08:01] KITSUNEZATO     Don't waste time. Just send it forward. [08:03] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [08:04] KARASU     Within expectations. [08:05] KARASU     Go ahead and try, munchkin. [08:07] KITSUNEZATO     "Within expectations"? [08:08] KITSUNEZATO     I could say the same thing. [08:13] KARASU/I     Aw, hell. [08:14] KARASU/I     Itoshi Sae's free in front     of the goal and within range. [08:18] KARASU/I     An attack pattern that starts     and ends with Itoshi Sae. [08:23] KARASU/I     This catenaccio counter is their objective. [08:27] KARASU     Niko! [08:28] NIKO     I'm there! [08:30] NIKO/I     Stop him shooting. I just need     to buy one second, because then... [08:33] NIKO/I     Chigiri-kun will be back. [08:36] CHIGIRI     Nice, Niko! [08:37] NIKO/I     We pincered him. We halted Itoshi Sae. [08:45] CHIGIRI/I     Through the gap between us... [08:47] NIKO/I     ...he hit a peach of a looping pass? [08:50] CHIGIRI/I     How far does this guy's vision extend? [08:52] SENDOU     Hell yeah. [08:53] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [08:54] CHIGIRI     Gagamaru! [08:55] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [08:55] GAGAMARU     Uh-oh. Here it comes. [08:59] GAGAMARU/I     Jump, synapses. [09:01] GAGAMARU/I     Here's my super reaction. [09:04] GAGAMARU/I     Gagamaru Punch! [09:06] SENDOU     Wha... [09:07] CHIGIRI     Nice, Gagamaru! [09:09] GAGAMARU     It's still in play! Itoshi Sae's going for it! [09:12] CHIGIRI/I     He's already running? [09:14] CHIGIRI     Incoming again! Watch for the cross! [09:18] GAGAMARU/I     He doesn't have the angle. [09:21] CHIGIRI/I     We'll stop him! [09:43] ISAGI     Incredible. [09:47] ISAGI/I     A line drive shot from there*? [09:51] ISAGI/I     And how many techniques did he deploy*     in the lead-up to that shot? [09:58] ISAGI     Holy crap. [10:01] TEREASA     Japan's U-20s' Itoshi Sae     scores the first goal! [10:05] TEREASA     Everyone in the packed     arena is on their feet! [10:10] CROWD     Sae! Sae! Sae! [10:10] BAROU     Tch. [10:15] IGARASHI     Hey, this reaction... [10:15] CROWD     Sae! Sae! Sae! [10:16] NANASE     We're playing an away game. [10:19] RAICHI     Damn it. [10:22] ISAGI/I     I see how it is. [10:25] ISAGI/I     The one playing the lead role     in this match is Itoshi Sae. [10:37] ISAGI/I     And we on the Blue Lock team... [10:40] ISAGI/I     are simply the heels facilitating     Itoshi Sae's moment in the spotlight. [10:48] ISAGI/I     No one's even looking at us. [10:51] CROWD     Itoshi Sae! Itoshi Sae! [10:56] RIN     Don't get overwhelmed, Isagi. [10:58] CROWD     Itoshi Sae! Itoshi Sae! [11:00] RIN     Just keep your eyes on me. [11:04] RIN     In the next 90 minutes,     I will turn these cheers into wails. [11:11] ISAGI     Rin. [11:15] NATSUKI     Itoshi Sae really is a genius! [11:18] NATSUKI     What a stunning debut for the genius! [11:20] TEREASA     This is the true skill of Itoshi Sae! [11:22] NATSUKI     Yup! [11:22] TEREASA     Today, we may be witnessing     the birth of a hero! [11:27] NATSUKI     We may be! [11:28] NERU     That was an amazing shot! [11:30] KITSUNEZATO     What a super goal, Sae-kun. [11:32] SAE     Don't touch me, losers. [11:35] SAE     Three. [11:37] SAE     I had three chances to take a shot. [11:41] SAE     But I held back and put time and energy     into passing the ball to you guys instead. [11:48] SAE     That piece of trash missed a chance      a monkey could've put away, [11:52] SAE     so I got pissed and did it myself. [11:54] SENDOU/I     Monkey? Trash? [11:58] AIKU     Oh, come on now. Their goalie     was pretty good, too, you know. [12:02] SAE     Hm? [12:03] SAE     A striker's value lies only     in their ability to score goals. [12:07] SAE     If you're worse at scoring     than a midfielder like me, [12:10] SAE     then you're not a striker in my book. [12:13] AIKU     That's a bit harsh, Li'l Genius. [12:16] AIKU     So how many strikers are there in Japan? [12:19] SAE     We're playing this match to find that out. [12:23] SAE     Don't do it again,     Mr. Worse Than a Monkey. [12:28] AIKU     Come on now. The game's      only just started, Sendou. [12:33] AIKU     Don't pass up any more chances. [12:35] SENDOU     I know, Aiku. [12:37] SENDOU     The U-20s is my team. [12:44] GAGAMARU     Damn. I saved it, too. [12:48] ARYU     It was a glam save, Mr. Super Reaction. [12:51] ARYU     I was watching. [12:53] NIKO     Still, how could he have     scored from that position? [12:57] NIKO     An iron defense and a rapid attack. [13:00] NIKO     Because of Itoshi Sae, the U-20s has     become a significantly stronger team. [13:05] ISAGI     Right. [13:07] ISAGI/I     First, they defend with four. [13:11] ISAGI/I     We can't find a decisive way through them,     so they steal the ball from us. [13:16] ISAGI/I     That's when the rapid attack     initiated by Itoshi Sae begins. [13:22] ISAGI/I     This is the play style of Japan's U-20s. [13:26] ISAGI/I     How do we break it? [13:30] ANRI     The tactics we drilled into them in the      final training camp don't seem to be working. [13:35] SIGN     Blue Lock Staff [13:35] ANRI     Are we going to be okay, Ego-san? [13:38] EGO     Well, I guess this is to be expected. [13:40] ANRI     Huh? That sounds so irresponsible. [13:43] EGO     You see, training is only training, Anri-chan. [13:46] SIGN     Blue Lock     General Director [13:47] EGO     The only thing that can     be gained from training [13:49] EGO     is a simple skill that can     be executed stress-free. [13:52] SIGN     During [13:52] SIGN     Training [13:53] EGO     It applies to any field.     Someone can perform well in practice... [13:57] SIGN     During [13:57] SIGN     Training [13:58] EGO     but fail to produce in the real thing. [13:59] SIGN     Real [13:59] SIGN     Thing [14:01] ANRI     Oh, I've experienced that myself. [14:04] ANRI     Like making mistakes at a piano recital. [14:07] EGO     Precisely. [14:09] EGO     The decisive difference between     training and the real thing is stress. [14:15] EGO     The environment, the opponents,     your own condition in these situations... [14:22] EGO     Your mental state, the tension in your     muscles, a stagnant thought process... [14:28] EGO     The real thing is filled with factors     that can drag you into a negative spiral. [14:33] EGO     There's no way things will happen      how you practiced them. [14:37] EGO     But there's one way to     break through that burden. [14:42] EGO     Improvise. [14:43] ANRI     What? So you're not gonna      give them any instructions? [14:47] ANRI     But if you just sit and watch... [14:48] EGO     Be quiet and have faith in them. [14:50] EGO     Our egoists know... [14:54] EGO     how to handle the real thing. [15:00] ISAGI/I     I can't even see the piece we need     to break through their defense. [15:03] ISAGI/I     To me, they're formidable enemies     with unknown potential. [15:07] ISAGI/I     But... [15:08] RIN     Just keep your eyes on me. [15:12] ISAGI/I     What I have to do is clear. [15:14] ISAGI/I     I'll get rid of any useless thoughts. [15:17] ISAGI/I     I'll focus every skill I have... [15:20] ISAGI/I     into this move with Rin! [15:25] SIGN     Japan's U-20s [15:26] WAKATSUKI     It's pointless passing it     around in midfield, yup. [15:30] WAKATSUKI     You're hesitant. You have no one to pass to, yup. [15:34] RIN     Whatever, Mr. Bags Under My Eyes. [15:40] ISAGI/I     Shorter passes. [15:42] ISAGI/I     Is he adjusting our attacking pattern? [15:46] HAYATE     Not using the triangle anymore, huh? [15:48] ISAGI/I     Shut everything else out. [15:50] ISAGI/I     Stick with Rin's vision... [15:52] ISAGI/I     and go wild! [15:54] HAYATE/I     They're passing it faster now. [15:58] WAKATSUKI/I     I can't quite read these two. [16:00] WAKATSUKI/I     The No. 11 is constantly     running around the No. 10, [16:04] WAKATSUKI/I     giving the No. 10 more options.     I can't catch him. [16:08] WAKATSUKI/I     Crap. [16:09] HAYATE/I     A heel pass now? [16:12] WAKATSUKI/I     They drew us out. [16:14] BACHIRA     Nya-hoy! [16:16] BACHIRA     That link-up play was making me jealous. [16:19] BACHIRA/I     And you two are now free to     go up front. Is that the plan? [16:25] ISAGI/I     There are two center backs behind Nagi. [16:27] ISAGI/I     It's a three-on-two.     We have them outnumbered. [16:31] ISAGI/I     A goal chance. [16:34] ISAGI/I     From here, I'll follow my ego! [16:37] NIOU     They're moving apart now? [16:39] NIOU     I don't understand this combo. [16:41] NIOU     We'll stop 'em, Aiku! [16:45] AIKU     Nice movements, Li'l Burglar. [16:48] NAGI     Now. Gimme it. [16:50] BACHIRA     Nope. I see you there... [16:54] BACHIRA     Revenger! [16:59] ANRI     They got through! [17:00] EGO     Nice improvisation, Itoshi Rin. [17:04] EGO     Your awakening is the     introduction to our victory. [17:10] FUKAKU/I     Here he comes.     He'll take a shot any second now. [17:15] FUKAKU/I     He ran even farther? [17:17] ISAGI/I     To where he's got zero angle? [17:19] ISAGI/I     And a left-footed shot? [17:21] ISAGI/I     Don't tell me he's trying to score     the same goal as Itoshi Sae! [17:32] NIOU     Nice save! Second ball! [17:36] SIGN     Blue Lock XI [17:37] ISAGI/I     Here it comes. [17:39] NERU     Not happening. [17:40] YUKIMIYA     You again, huh? [17:42] ISAGI/I     We practiced this pattern. [17:45] ISAGI/I     While Yukimiya's setting it up,     I get into the defender's eyeline [17:49] ISAGI/I     to provide another option for a pass     and make him hesitate. Jamming action! [17:54] NERU/I     Ah, crap. Which one? [17:58] NERU/I     I was too late to react. [18:00] YUKIMIYA     Nice, Isagi-kun. I owe you one! [18:06] AIKU     Nice shot. [18:07] YUKIMIYA     What? Even that didn't beat them? [18:09] NIOU     It's still alive! Clear it, Darai! [18:11] DARAI     I know. [18:12] OTOYA     'Sup. [18:14] OTOYA     You took your eyes off me, idiot. [18:17] ISAGI/I     Otoya reacted to the second ball     in front of the goal. [18:20] ISAGI/I     Just like in training. [18:22] ISAGI/I     Rin's egoistic improvisation     has created this situation. [18:27] ISAGI/I     Now that we've thrown them off,     we can finally make hay... [18:31] ISAGI/I     with what we trained! [18:36] OTOYA     Seriously? Move it, old man. [18:38] ISAGI/I     They're tough. But we're not done. [18:40] ISAGI     Nagi! [18:41] NAGI     Yup. [18:44] NAGI/I     A big chance. [18:45] HAYATE     I won't let you shoot. [18:46] WAKATSUKI     Nope. [18:48] NAGI/I     Start the shooting motion, then... [18:51] NAGI/I     Instantly kill it. [18:55] HAYATE/I     A lift tap? [19:00] WAKATSUKI/I     Into a jumping turn? [19:06] NAGI     Nice to meet you, Japan. [19:09] NAGI     I am... [19:12] NAGI     Nagi Seishiro! [19:30] NAGI     Uh... [19:32] NAGI     Did I mess up introducing myself? [19:42] KID     All right! [19:56] NERU     For real? [19:57] DARAI     Not bad. [20:00] AIKU     I see. So all of you are     only thinking of scoring. [20:05] AIKU     This is Blue Lock. [20:10] AIKU     When all the pieces fit,     it can be cataclysmic.

[22:30] REO     This is just, um, you know... [22:32] REO     I'm not sure how to talk to Nagi     now that we've reunited, so I was practicing. [22:38] CHIGIRI     Wait, you haven't spoken to him yet? [22:41] REO     Yeah. No talking has happened yet. [22:46] REO     I'm a chameleon that's     lost sight of its own color. [22:49] CHIGIRI     Uh-huh. [22:50] REO     Hey! You could at least show some interest! [22:53] CHIGIRI     Well, as it's you, I'm not all that worried. [22:57] CHIGIRI     But if there's something you need to tell him,      do it while you have a chance. [23:01] CHIGIRI     In here, you never know if     you'll get to see someone again.

[23:30] REO     A rival? [23:31] REO     Someone from the past? [23:33] REO     Huh?! [23:34] REO     What the hell, man?!     Don't you dare put me in the past! [23:38] REO     Just you watch, you hassle monster! [23:42] CHIGIRI     You're the biggest hassle here.
