[00:15] Isagi
    I am a striker!
[00:19] Ego/I
    Someone once said:
[00:21] Ego/I
    "In the world of soccer,"
[00:22] Ego/I
    "you can train first-rate goalkeepers,
    defenders, and midfielders,"
[00:28] Ego/I
    "but strikers are different."
[00:31] Ego/I
    "A first-rate striker will find
    where the soccer is most intense..."
[00:37] Ego/I
    "and suddenly appear there."

    Let me be blunt.
[02:25] Anri
    If things carry on the way they are,
[02:28] Anri
    Japan will never win the
    World Cup. Not in a million years.

[02:37] Buratsuta
    We're making plenty of dough, so what do
     we care? After all, soccer's a business.
[02:42] Buratsuta
    Anri-chan, surely you don't really believe
    Japan has a chance of winning the World Cup?
[02:50] Anri
    Of course I do, you money-grubbing rodent.
[02:53] Anri
    It's my goddamn dream!
[02:55] Anri
    "If we just play our soccer, we can win"?
[02:58] Anri
    "Japan's possession soccer is
    good enough for the world stage"?
[03:01] Anri
    That kind of thinking is exactly why
    we never make it past the last 16!
[03:06] Buratsura
    Well, you came up with this idea,
    laid the groundwork, and put it all in motion.
[03:12] Buratsura
    So if it doesn't work out,
    I know whose head will roll.
[03:16] Anri
    I truly believe the only person
    who can break down Japanese soccer
[03:20] Anri
    and forge a player who can lead
     this country to a World Cup win...
[03:25] Anri
    is this man right here!

[03:35] Kira
    Isagi-kun?
[03:37] Kira
    What are you doing?
[03:40] Kira
    Wait, what is this? What just happened?
[03:44] Isagi
    I'm sorry. It's just...
    The ball came at me out of nowhere and...
[03:48] Kira
    Huh? Don't give me—
[03:52] Ego
    Diamonds in the rough,
    only results matter here.
[03:56] Ego
    Losers lock off.
[03:59] Ego
    Kira Ryosuke, you are disqualified.
[04:10] Kira
    This is bullshit.
[04:12] Kira
    How is it possible for
    my future career to lie in tatters...
[04:18] Kira
    all because of some stupid game?!
[04:21] Kira
    I'm Japanese soccer's jewel in the crown!
[04:23] Kira
    You telling me Igaguri and Isagi-kun
     are more talented than me?! Huh?!
[04:27] Kira
    Why does this silly game
     of tag even matter?!
[04:30] Kira
    What does it have to do with soccer?!
[04:33] Ego
    In Blue Lock, everything has
    something to do with soccer.
[04:37] Ego
    Look around you, Mr. Mediocre Elite.
[04:40] Ego
    The room you are in...
[04:44] Ego
    is the same size as the penalty area.
[04:47] Ego
    Roughly 75% of all goals are
    born within these confines.
[04:52] Ego
    If you can't do your work in this space,
     you have no talent as a striker.
[04:57] Kira
    S-So... So what?
[04:59] Kira
    Tag is nothing like soccer!
[05:01] Ego
    If you're the one running away,
[05:04] Ego
    you need a keen sense of interpersonal
    space, tactics, and positioning.
[05:07] Ego
    If you're the one doing the chasing,
[05:09] Ego
    your dribbling and aim must be precise,
    and the quality of your kicks must be high.
[05:14] Ego
    That makes it an excellent
    soccer training drill, wimp.
[05:18] Kira
    Even so, how can you know anything
    about me in just two minutes?
[05:22] Kira
    A soccer match is 90 minutes!
[05:25] Ego
    On average, the total amount of time any
    player spends on the ball in a 90-minute game
[05:29] Ego
    is about 136 seconds.
[05:31] Ego
    You wasted the chance that was
     afforded to all of you equally.
[05:35] Kira
    B-But nothing could be done
     in those last ten seconds—
[05:38] Ego
    Would you say the same
    thing if this was a match?
[05:42] Ego
    When the ball hit you, there was
    still one second left on the clock.
[05:47] Ego
    You could've survived if you'd blasted it at
     the immobile Igaguri. But you didn't see it.
[05:53] Ego
    In a way, it was the last play
    right before the final whistle.
[05:56] Ego
    The moment your teammate's shot hit you,
     you gave up and accepted defeat.
[06:03] Ego
    That's why you didn't see it.
[06:06] Ego
    You missed your chance at victory
    by not taking that extra step.
[06:12] Ego
    Whoever is "it" in this game of tag might be the
     loser if he holds onto the ball for too long.
[06:17] Ego
    But he might also be the winner, as only
    he has the power to choose who is hit next.
[06:22] Ego
    A striker shoulders that responsibility
     and fights until the very last second.
[06:29] Ego
    Isagi Yoichi targeted someone ranked
    higher than him, not the fallen Igaguri.
[06:34] Ego
    Bachira Meguru stole the ball off him
     and went after the strongest guy.
[06:39] Ego
    That's a selfish obsession with victory that
    isn't affected by the group's common sense.
[06:46] Ego
    That's the egoism of the
    striker that I'm looking for.
[06:50] Ego
    You lost because you ran away from it.
[06:53] Ego
    Kira Ryosuke, lock off.
[06:56] Kira
    But... B-But he came at me...
[06:59] Kira
    Bachira came outta nowhere...
[07:03] Kira
    Bachira came at me outta nowhere!
[07:08] Isagi
    Kira-kun...
[07:13] Kira
    This isn't right.
[07:15] Kira
    It... can't be.
[07:24] Isagi/I
    Why did I kick it? Did I just
    end Kira-kun's soccer career?
[07:30] Isagi/I
    Then why...
[07:34] Isagi/I
    Why am I so pumped up?
[07:38] Isagi/I
    That guy...
[07:41] Isagi
    Why did you pass it to me?
[07:43] Isagi
    If I hadn't kicked it, you would've lost.
[07:46] Bachira
    Hm? Because I knew you'd kick it.
    It was written on your face.
[07:51] Isagi
    Huh?
[07:52] Bachira
    "Only results matter here," right?
[07:54] Bachira
    So I believed in you, and I won, right?
[07:58] Isagi/I
    This guy's totally crazy.
[08:01] Igarashi
    Is this ridiculousness going to continue?
[08:05] Ego
    "Ridiculousness"?
[08:06] Ego
    You're right. That's the world of "win or lose."
[08:10] Ego
    Those world-class strikers
    you so casually adore
[08:14] Ego
    put their lives on the line
     like this every day.
[08:17] Ego
    How does it feel to fight for
     your career for the first time?
[08:22] Ego
    Does it scare you? Does it excite you?
[08:25] Ego
    This is normal in Blue Lock.
[08:27] Ego
    Are you shaken up? Did it make
     you go, "All right! I survived!"?
[08:32] Ego
    That's what victory feels like.
[08:34] Ego
    Etch that into your brain.
[08:38] Ego
    Every time you get a taste of that
    pleasant sensation, your ego grows.
[08:42] Ego
    And that will elevate you to the
    height of world's greatest striker.
[08:54] Ego
    Congratulations. You have passed the
    admission exam for the Blue Lock dorm.
[09:00] Naruhaya/Igarashi/Imamura
    All right!
[09:02] Ego
    There are eleven of you in this room.
[09:04] Ego
    You eleven will be living together.
[09:08] Ego
    At times, you'll work together.
    Other times, you'll betray each other.
[09:11] Ego
    You will be rivals who
    wreck each other's dreams.

[11:42] Bachira
    Yup.
[11:43] Isagi
    Why did you think I'd aim for Kira-kun?
[11:47] Bachira
    Well... I guess it's because...
[11:52] Bachira
    There's a monster inside of me.

[12:42] Isagi
    A "monster"?
[12:47] Isagi
    What do you mean?
[12:49] Bachira
    When I'm playing soccer,
    the monster comes out and talks to me.
[12:52] Bachira
    "Score a goal."
[12:54] Bachira
    "Weave about more."
[13:02] Bachira
    But in that moment, the monster
    said to me: "Pass the ball to Isagi."
[13:07] Bachira
    "There's a monster inside him too," it said.
[13:12] Isagi
    A monster?
[13:14] Bachira
    When I play, I listen to its voice.
    That's all there is to it.
[13:19] Bachira
    You hear it too, right?
    The monster's voice.
[13:22] Isagi/I
    What the heck is he talking about?
[13:24] Isagi/I
    Though, when I kicked the ball...
    In that moment, I didn't recognize myself.
[13:30] Isagi/I
    I want to know what this
    "monster" inside me is.
[13:34] Isagi/I
    Maybe finding that out will give me
    a clue on how to survive Blue Lock.

[13:53] Bachira
    So Isagi...
[13:58] Bachira
    I'm glad I came here
    because I got to meet you.
[14:04] Bachira
    'Kay, let's try it again.
[14:05] Isagi
    Sure.
[14:07] Isagi/I
    What's wrong with this guy?
    He's talking nonsense.
[14:12] Isagi/I
    But...
[14:13] Bachira
    Come at me.
[14:14] Isagi/I

[16:30] Nihei
    You were a genius midfielder in the academy
     of one of the world's top clubs, Royale.
[16:37] Nihei
    But regulations stopped you from playing
    in the first team, so you returned to Japan.
[16:42] Nihei
    Does this mean we'll get to see
    you play in the domestic league?
[16:47] Sae
    Over my dead body.
[16:49] Sae
    If I have to play in a country like this,
    I'd rather play with college kids in Germany.

[16:59] Nihei
    Do you have dreams of representing your
    country at the international level in the future?
[17:04] Sae
    None whatsoever.
[17:06] Sae
    The national team of a weak country like this
    one will never be the greatest in the world.
[17:11] Sae
    My dream is to win the Champions League.
[17:15] Sae
    There isn't a forward in this country
    who's good enough for my passes.
[17:19] Sae
    I was born in the wrong country.
[17:23] Dabadie
    Hey...
[17:27] Dabadie
    Gimme a break.
[17:29] Dabadie
    This won't do, Sae-chan!
    The media's going to hate you.
[17:33] Sae
    So? This country doesn't matter to me.
     I only came back 'cause my passport expired.

[17:50] Buratsuta
    So that's how we plan to train up a striker
    who can lead Japan to a World Cup win.

[17:57] Buratsuta
    Through this Blue Lock project.
[18:01] Reporter A
    Even if you do produce a top striker, how can
    you guarantee Japan will win the World Cup?
[18:07] Reporter B
    Are you saying it's okay to ruin the lives
     of 299 people just for one person's sake?
[18:12] Reporter B
    Didn't their parents object?
[18:14] Buratsuta
    Well, uh, that's...
[18:15] Buratsuta
    We respect the opinions
    of the players themselves.
[18:19] Buratsuta
    And their parents have
    signed consent forms...
[18:22] Anri
    "Ruin the lives of..."?
[18:24] Anri
    Exactly!
[18:26] Anri
    For Japanese soccer to move forward,
    we need this crazy project!
[18:36] Anri
    Don't you all want to see it?
[18:38] Anri
    The moment this hero of
    Japanese soccer is born.
[18:43] Ego
    The first selection will involve
     the 55 of you in Building 5.
[18:45] Sign
    5
[18:47] Ego
    It's a kind of five-team round robin.
[18:50] Ego
    Only the top two teams will move on to the
     second selection in this survival match.
[18:55] Chigiri
    So the eleven of us on Team Z
     will play as a proper team?
[19:00] Chigiri
    We're all forwards though.
[19:02] Imamura
    Why don't you be the goalie?
    You have the face of one.
[19:05] Iemon
    Don't. I can't say no when
    people ask me to do something.
[19:08] Raichi
    Then, I'll play center forward.
[19:10] Kunigami
    Huh? No, I will.
[19:11] Gagamaru
    No, me.
[19:12] Raichi
    No, me! I will!
[19:12] Naruhaya
    Igaguri, you can be in defense.
[19:14] Igarashi
    What?!
[19:15] Isagi/I
    A team made up of eleven
    forwards? That's crazy talk.
[19:20] Ego
    Listen up.
[19:21] Ego
    Soccer was originally
    a sport all about scoring.
[19:25] Ego
    You've been stupidly imprinted with
    the notions of positioning and tactics,
[19:29] Ego
    but all of those roles
    only evolved over time.
[19:33] Ego
    Soccer initially started out
    with every player being a striker.
[19:38] Ego
    So play soccer as it was originally.
[19:40] Ego
    Create soccer from
    zero with your brains.
[19:44] Isagi/I
    "Create soccer from zero"?
[19:47] Anri
    Japanese soccer has improved at an
    incredible rate in the last quarter-century,
[19:51] Anri
    even compared to the world standard.
[19:54] Anri
    Just one more step, and we'll be
    on par with the world's top teams.
[19:58] Anri
    Soccer fans around the world
    can see that happening.
[20:01] Anri
    That's how much Japan has improved.
[20:03] Anri
    But to take that extra step, it's time for current Japanese soccer to die.
[20:09] Anri
    The dream of simply playing in the
    World Cup has served its purpose.
[20:15] Anri
    So now is the time to dream a
    new dream for Japanese soccer.
[20:20] Ego
    Abandon what you've believed
     to be common sense until now.
[20:23] Ego
    Shove new notions into your brains.
[20:26] Ego
    What we really need right now for
    Japan to become the best in the world
[20:30] Ego
    isn't the teamwork of eleven players.
[20:33] Ego
    What we need is one hero.
[20:37] Ego
    Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar...
[20:40] Ego
    Soccer can evolve endlessly
    if a hero like that exists.
[20:44] Ego
    To stop him, new defensive
     systems are created.
[20:48] Ego
    To top him, new tactics are born.
[20:52] Ego
    One person's play can change
    a team, a country, even the world.
[20:56] Ego
    That's the kind of sport soccer is.
[20:59] Anri
    This is a new stage for Japanese soccer.
[21:02] Anri
    The main characters are not us adults,
    who have forgotten how to dream,
[21:06] Anri
    but these youngsters,
    who are still nobodies.
[21:08] Anri
    Do you have the courage to dream a
    new dream of winning the World Cup?
[21:13] Ego
    Are you ready to fight?
[21:16] Anri
    It's all there...
[21:19] Ego
    In Blue Lock!
[21:19] Arni
    In Blue Lock!

     The flight back to Spain is—
[21:32] Sae
    Cancel it.
[21:33] Dabadie
    What?

    be born in this country with my own eyes.
