[00:16] Anri     Wait, did he seriously fake shot it      into the air with some crazy spin, [00:19] Anri     then when it floated down, [00:21] Anri     took the shot again and scored? [00:24] Anri     That was a miraculous bit of skill! [00:27] Ego     Calling something like that "miraculous"     shows just how average you are, Anri-chan. [00:34] Anri     B-But that was top-drawer stuff, wasn't it? [00:37] Anri     It's not like you could reproduce that      any time you want. No way. [00:41] Ego     I don't know about that. [00:43] Ego     The iron mentality that you will score,      the skills to make it happen, [00:48] Ego     the situation on the field,     the environment the player is in... [00:51] Ego     If all conditions are optimal, a performance      can go beyond human understanding. [00:57] Ego     Miraculous events can     be explained, Anri-chan. [01:01] Ego     And a formula for them awaits     at the end of this selection. [01:09] Chigiri     Nagi! Nice goal! [01:10] Barou     We're only level. We need another. [01:13] Isagi/I     I finally did it. [01:15] Isagi/I     I beat Rin for the first time! [01:17] Isagi/I     With Nagi, I can go head-to-head with Rin! [01:21] Isagi/I     But that won't help me to become     the best striker in the world. [01:26] Isagi/I     I want to be able to beat Rin by myself! [01:36] Bachira     Sweet. [01:38] Bachira     This is where the monster party begins. [03:13] Isagi/I     Okay, the real game starts now. [03:16] Isagi/I     My spatial awareness     and Nagi's first touch. [03:20] Isagi/I     We've proved we can beat Rin if     we combine our strengths effectively. [03:25] Isagi/I     But that goal can't be reproduced unless     we repeat the many moves that got us there. [03:31] Sign     Power [03:31] Sign     Control [03:31] Sign     Direct     Shot [03:31] Sign     Height [03:31] Sign     Accuracy [03:31] Sign     Spatial     Awareness [03:32] Isagi/I     To beat Rin, it's imperative     we create a condition [03:34] Sign     Power [03:34] Sign     Control [03:34] Sign     Direct     Shot [03:34] Sign     Height [03:34] Sign     Accuracy [03:34] Sign     Spatial     Awareness [03:34] Sign     Power [03:34] Sign     Control [03:34] Sign     Direct     Shot [03:34] Sign     Height [03:34] Sign     Accuracy [03:34] Sign     Spatial     Awareness [03:35] Isagi/I     where our parameters     become better than his.

[03:49] Isagi/I     If we can make it a 50-50 with Rin,     our weapons can work against him! [03:54] Isagi/I     But... so what? [03:57] Isagi/I     If I can't beat Rin on my own,     I can't become the best striker in the world. [04:03] Isagi/I     Just being equal isn't enough. [04:05] Isagi/I     I have to read the play and get to the     future of this field before Rin does! [04:12] Tokimitsu     Wh-Wh-What do we do now?     They caught up to us. [04:16] Aryu     We won't let it end this way. [04:18] Rin     Stop babbling. [04:20] Rin     From now on, I'm in control of this field. [04:24] Rin     If you want to win,     bust a gut to keep up with me. [04:26] Tokimitsu     Uh, is he mad? [04:29] Aryu     He's unusually fired up. [04:31] Bachira     Love it. Show us your     serious mode, Rin-chan. [04:39] Isagi/I     Okay, let's go.     The second half has kicked off! [04:48] Tokimitsu     What? This way? But wait...     In the path of the scary gorilla? [04:52] Tokimitsu     Please get outta my way! [04:53] Barou     You messed up. I'll get there first. [04:56] Isagi/I     No, before Barou can get to the ball... [05:00] Isagi/I     the backspin will take it toward Tokimitsu! [05:03] Tokimitsu     Oh, hey, maybe I will reach it. [05:06] Barou/I     Tch. A shoulder charge. [05:08] Barou/I     His muscles are no joke. [05:13] Isagi/I     He made Tokimitsu hold up the ball while     he moves to a better position to receive it. [05:20] Isagi/I     A first-time pass from there*? [05:22] Isagi/I     Crap! He's one step faster than I can read! [05:24] Aryu     Hm? [05:26] Aryu     Unlike Bachira Meguru's      creative pass earlier, [05:29] Aryu     this is a lofted pass that tests my limits. [05:33] Aryu     I only have one option. [05:35] Aryu     I accept the challenge. [05:37] Aryu/I     Aerial Chest Takedown! [05:40] Chigiri     Neat. Still caught up to you, though. [05:43] Aryu/I     Sneaky bastard. If you position*     yourself there with that timing, [05:47] Aryu/I     I have no choice but to     pass to you, Itoshi Rin! [05:50] Isagi     Nagi! Block Rin's shooting paths! [05:53] Nagi     I'm already gone. [05:59] Isagi     A two-on-two out in front. [06:00] Isagi     Will he shoot, dribble, or pass to Bachira? [06:06] Isagi     A shot? No... [06:10] Nagi/I     Don't charge in. Just put out a leg. [06:13] Nagi/I     I know it's a feint.     I won't fall for it a second time! [06:18] Nagi/I     Huh? A roulette there*? That's impossible. [06:23] Isagi     I saw through you. [06:25] Isagi/I     I got there. I was one step*     ahead of Rin's vision! [06:27] Rin     You're two steps too slow. [06:30] Isagi/I     Where is it? [06:32] Bachira     You're giving it to me now? [06:33] Isagi/I     Huh? When did... [06:35] Isagi/I     Wait, he read my thoughts?! [06:37] Bachira     I see. So you weren't reading him at all.     You were being manipulated. [06:42] Isagi/I     Are you serious? [06:43] Isagi/I     Tokimitsu's physique, Aryu's powerful jump,     and even my reading of the field... [06:50] Isagi/I     All of us were just... [06:53] Isagi/I     Itoshi Rin's puppets! [07:01] Isagi/I     So this is Rin's serious mode. [07:04] Isagi/I     This "puppet master" style of soccer! [07:07] Rin     What made you think a mere     NPC like you could read me? [07:13] Bachira     Rin-chan, you super sadist. [07:15] Chigiri     So that's Rin's serious mode, huh? [07:18] Chigiri     He controls everyone on the field,     regardless of whether they're friend or foe. [07:23] Bachira     High five! [07:24] Bachira     Hm? No high five, then? [07:26] Rin     Don't touch me, NPC No. 2. [07:29] Isagi/I     Come to think of it, it was the     same when we first faced him. [07:34] Isagi/I     The essence of his soccer is to control     people by manipulating their thoughts. [07:40] Isagi/I     He only did it when it     involved himself before, [07:44] Isagi/I     but now, he's manipulating     everyone on the field! [07:49] Isagi/I     And he achieves this by     assessing each of our skills [07:53] Isagi/I     and cranking them up to their full potential     to create the high-level future he envisions. [08:00] Isagi/I     It's a technique that's only     possible with the right skills, [08:04] Isagi/I     an eye for tactics,     and the physique to pull it off. [08:08] Isagi/I     You're really that incredible, Itoshi Rin? [08:12] Isagi/I     Can I really devour a genius like him? [08:16] Nagi     If we try anything conventional, he'll read it. [08:20] Nagi     We have to break away from     his vision of the field, right? [08:23] Chigiri     You said it. [08:24] Chigiri     We need to make it so he can't     keep up, even if he sees the logic. [08:28] Chigiri     The level of difficulty will be super high,     but if we use our weapons to the max... [08:33] Nagi     There's a chance we can outrun him. [08:35] Isagi     Yeah. [08:36] Isagi     Let's go. [08:38] Isagi/I     It's the only way. [08:40] Isagi/I     If it doesn't work, then... [08:52] Isagi/I     Read the field. There's no room for error! [08:55] Isagi/I     I'll trigger a chemical reaction     and launch an all-out attack! [08:59] Isagi/I     They changed up their defense? [09:01] Isagi/I     Now Rin's pressing and Bachira's the anchor. [09:04] Isagi/I     What's the play here? [09:05] Isagi/I     I don't get it. [09:07] Isagi/I     I will bet on your speed. [09:10] Aryu     Sticking to the same old pattern, huh? [09:12] Chigiri     Shut up. [09:14] Chigiri/I     I'm best at straight-lining it,     but since they'll be ready for that... [09:20] Chigiri/I     I'll flick it, cut inside at top speed... [09:24] Chigiri     and leave him for dust! [09:25] Isagi     Nice, Chigiri! [09:26] Isagi/I     We broke through their line.     Let's use this momentum to crush them! [09:31] Chigiri/I     Rin. Of course he sensed the danger. [09:34] Chigiri/I     Should I take him on? [09:35] Chigiri/I     No, if he's out here... [09:38] Chigiri/I     there's one less player inside! [09:40] Chigiri/I     Go for it, Nagi! [09:42] Nagi     A cross with spin that wakes you up. [09:44] Isagi/I     It's coming. [09:46] Isagi/I     A bunched-up two-on-two. [09:47] Isagi/I     Tokimitsu's going for the tackle,     and Bachira's waiting to see what Nagi does. [09:51] Isagi/I     So I'll target their blind     spot and run outside! [09:56] Isagi/I     Then, when Bachira reacts,     I'll change direction... [10:00] Nagi     Right here? [10:01] Isagi/I     ...and complete the crossover     by running past on the inside! [10:05] Isagi     Perfect. [10:08] Isagi     We're in behind.     Now all that's left is for me to score! [10:13] Isagi/I     Huh? You're kidding, right? [10:16] Isagi/I     But how? [10:18] Isagi/I     Did he read my vision from behind and     recover to the spot where he knew I'd be? [10:23] Isagi/I     What do I do? Do I shoot? [10:25] Isagi/I     No, he'll just block my shot. [10:27] Isagi/I     At least I can keep possession... [10:30] Isagi/I     Damn it. That won't work.     Not with my physique. [10:34] Isagi/I     Even our perfect chemical reaction [10:36] Isagi/I     is nothing but a puppet show in his     mind's eye when he's in serious mode! [10:49] Barou     I win this one, Isagi. [10:51] Barou     It's mine! [10:53] Isagi     Barou?! [10:54] Tokimitsu     Huh?! He stole it from his teammate?! [10:56] Chigiri     That guy... [10:57] Aryu     Is he serious? [10:59] Nagi     Did he just steamroll     through Rin's imagination? [11:04] Isagi/I     He's been waiting patiently     with an empty stomach... [11:10] Isagi/I     for the chance to strike at     his prey from its blind spot... [11:13] Isagi/I     for the moment of the hunt     that will satisfy his hunger! [11:17] Rin     What kind of soccer is this? [11:19] Isagi/I     I see. [11:20] Isagi/I     Stealing from your teammate isn't in     his playbook, so he can't anticipate it. [11:26] Isagi/I     That's why it worked! [11:28] Isagi/I     Against Rin's meticulous playstyle, [11:31] Isagi/I     Barou's playstyle as the     villain of the field is... [11:39] Isagi/I     an anomaly he can't control! [11:43] Isagi/I     That's the whole basis of King Barou's game! [11:47] Barou     What's the matter? [11:49] Barou     Why don't you try to control me... [11:52] Barou     Mr. Absurdly-Long Bottom Lashes? [11:54] Barou     I need more, Isagi. [11:57] Isagi     Heh. [11:59] Barou     I need more to devour. [12:10] Chigiri     Barou! [12:11] Nagi     The King of the Heels. [12:18] Isagi/I     Barou's obsessed with devouring me, [12:21] Isagi/I     and that makes him too much of an     anomaly for Rin's genius to predict. [12:26] Isagi/I     Due to Rin's playstyle of     processing everything rationally, [12:30] Isagi/I     he couldn't read the selfish soccer     of Barou Shouei, King of the Heels. [12:37] Isagi/I     I see. [12:38] Isagi/I     I need to be someone Rin can't read. [12:41] Isagi/I     That way, he can't control me. [12:45] Isagi/I     Barou's the bug in this field's programming. [12:48] Isagi/I     He is the key to vanquishing Rin. [12:52] Aryu     Who knows how this     match will play out now? [12:54] Tokimitsu     What's wrong with that gorilla man? [12:57] Bachira     It's not so easy anymore, is it, Rin-chan? [13:00] Rin     I've already inputted what I need.      It won't happen again. [13:04] Isagi/I     We'll use the Barou bug to     create something unpredictable! [13:11] Isagi     Chigiri, can you beast     them with your pressing? [13:14] Isagi     I want you to put pressure on     the ball carrier with your speed. [13:17] Chigiri     Okay. I'll make them dance for me. [13:20] Nagi     That means I'm marking the glam guy. [13:27] Chigiri     Try and outrun me, genius. [13:37] Bachira/I     Cool. So you want me to     dribble through 'em, huh? [13:41] Bachira/I     Isagi? [13:42] Bachira/I     All right, let's have some fun— [13:44] Bachira/I     You're keeping your distance?     You're wary that I'll get past you, huh? [13:49] Bachira/I     Whoa, it's Chigirin. [13:51] Bachira/I     Damn, man. So fast. [13:53] Bachira/I     I got it. [13:55] Bachira/I     So you're using your speedster to press and     making it a two-on-one by doubling up on me. [14:00] Bachira/I     Oh, hey. Rin-chan's waiting     for the ball in a great spot. [14:04] Bachira/I     No, Isagi's responding to his movement. [14:08] Bachira/I     Oh, I see. By using Chigirin to confuse us     and slow down our decision-making, [14:13] Bachira/I     Isagi's giving himself time to keep up     with Rin-chan's off-the-ball movements. [14:17] Bachira/I     In that case, I'll just have     to carve open a route by myself. [14:21] Chigiri     I've never gone up against     you before, Bachira. [14:24] Bachira     True! Please go easy on me. [14:27] Bachira/I     It's my dribbling versus Chigirin's speed! [14:31] Bachira/I     Wow. He's crazy fast. [14:34] Bachira/I     Even if I steal a yard on him,     he can recover in no time. [14:37] Bachira/I     In that case... [14:38] Bachira/I     Roll up, roll up! [14:40] Bachira/I     Which way will I go? [14:43] Bachira/I     I'm halfway past him. I can pass it now. [14:45] Bachira/I     Huh? Isagi? [14:47] Bachira/I     Weren't you over by Rin-chan? [14:49] Bachira/I     Surely you weren't waiting for me to do that? [14:52] Bachira/I     Crap. He got me. [14:55] Bachira/I     No, I can squeak between them... [14:57] Bachira/I     There! [14:58] Bachira/I     Just barely! [14:59] Bachira/I     All righty! [15:01] Isagi     Now... [15:02] Isagi     Devour him, Barou. [15:04] Barou     Thanks. [15:07] Bachira/I     They really got me. It was all to set up Barou. [15:09] Bachira/I     Isagi used himself as bait and created     a path for Barou to steal the ball. [15:14] Tokimitsu     No! Stop! [15:16] Chigiri     Go! Get past him and you can score! [15:18] Barou     Move aside, Glum Guns. [15:22] Tokimitsu/I     A chop feint? [15:23] Isagi/I     This is how to use the anomaly named Barou. [15:26] Rin     You're not getting through. [15:29] Isagi/I     Rin? [15:31] Bachira     Rin-chan! [15:34] Anri/I     The ball is out of play.     Throw-in to Team White. [15:37] Barou     Aw, damn it! [15:39] Isagi/I     No, he didn't read that. [15:42] Isagi/I     He reacted just in time. [15:44] Isagi/I     Rin positioned himself somewhere he could     respond to Barou's unpredictable play. [15:49] Isagi/I     One wrong move, and either Rin or I     could have given up a goal there. [15:56] Isagi/I     I'm using Barou's     unpredictability to its maximum, [15:59] Isagi/I     while Rin's trying to     minimize the damage he can do. [16:04] Isagi/I     The one who can control Barou     and this field will win this match! [16:12] Bachira/I     They're incredible. [16:14] Bachira/I     They're reading each other and     competing at an unbelievable level. [16:18] Bachira/I     There are two monsters on this field now. [16:25] Bachira/I     I'm seeing the soccer     I've always wanted to play... [16:29] Bachira/I     unfold right in front of my eyes. [16:32] Bachira/I     My dream is finally coming true. [16:35] Bachira/I     I can play soccer with monsters! [16:42] Bachira/I     Huh? [16:44] Bachira/I     What? I'm right here, and yet... [16:49] Bachira/I     I'm no longer alone, and yet... [16:55] Bachira/I     In the world these two inhabit... [16:58] Bachira/I     I don't exist. [17:01] Bachira/I     Why? [17:02] Bachira/I     Why are you two playing soccer     in a place unknown to me? [17:06] Bachira/I     Don't leave me behind. [17:08] Bachira/I     For me, you two are the     monsters I've been looking for. [17:12] Bachira/I     But what am I to you? [17:16] Bachira/I     Was I the one being tested? [17:23] Anri/I     The ball is out of play.     Throw-in to Team Red. [17:27] Isagi     Nice, Chigiri! [17:28] Isagi     Sorry. I was actually     planning on passing to you. [17:31] Chigiri     I'm sorry, too. If I'd been one step faster,     I could've gotten the ball. [17:38] Isagi     Hey, are you all right? [17:40] Isagi     Is it your knee? [17:41] Chigiri     No, I'm just running on empty. [17:44] Chigiri     But don't worry about me. [17:47] Chigiri     If you lose to Rin, I'll kill you. [17:49] Isagi     I know. [17:51] Isagi     And you keep those legs     motoring until you keel over. [17:54] Chigiri     You don't need to tell me.      That was already my plan. [17:58] Isagi/I     Thanks to Chigiri's pressing, I'm able to     keep up with Rin's reading of the field. [18:03] Isagi/I     But it's impossible to keep     running around at that speed. [18:07] Isagi/I     And it's not just Chigiri. [18:10] Isagi/I     Everyone's stamina is draining     at a rapid rate, me included. [18:15] Isagi/I     If we keep up this kind of maximum-level     performance and end up tired, [18:19] Isagi/I     the quality of our passing and     initial movements will be affected. [18:23] Isagi/I     The one who catches these changes will     dominate the final phase of this match! [18:29] Tokimitsu     Wah! I-I'll return the ball, Rin-kun! [18:33] Tokimitsu     Me again? [18:34] Isagi/I     What is this attack? [18:36] Isagi/I     Crap. [18:38] Isagi/I     These two are forging upfield. [18:41] Chigiri/I     This is a new pattern. [18:43] Isagi/I     They're moving the ball before Chigiri     can press or I can make a decision. [18:47] Isagi/I     But it's not like Rin's doing     anything special with his passes... [18:51] Isagi/I     No, that's not true! [18:53] Isagi/I     The player making this     breakaway possible [18:55] Isagi/I     is the only one who hasn't slowed     at all in this final phase of the game, [18:56] Barou     Hold it! [18:59] Isagi/I     and who keeps moving in     response to Rin's passes. [18:59] Chigiri     Stop him, Barou! [19:01] Isagi/I     It's the guy with the monster     physique and unlimited stamina! [19:05] Isagi/I     There's more to Tokimitsu than his muscles! [19:09] Tokimitsu     Ah, finally. The pass into the     box that'll open things up... [19:13] Chigiri     Oh no you don't! [19:15] Tokimitsu     Wait, huh? [19:18] Anri/I     For a tackle from behind     and malicious sliding respectively, [19:22] Anri/I     Barou Shouei and Chigiri Hyoma     both get yellow cards. [19:25] Barou     Huh?! I was just hugging the guy! [19:28] Chigiri     I went for the ball! [19:29] Chigiri     Do your job properly, you useless VAR! [19:32] Tokimitsu     I-I'm sorry, Rin-kun. I only got a free kick. [19:36] Isagi/I     Damn it. [19:37] Isagi/I     That chemical reaction between     Rin and Tokimitsu just now [19:40] Isagi/I     could've been avoided if     I'd caught it before Rin did. [19:44] Isagi/I     But it's not like they scored from it. [19:48] Isagi/I     This free kick won't go     the way they want it to! [19:51] Nagi     I'm not liking the distance. [19:55] Nagi     It's totally within range for Rin. [19:57] Isagi     Scooch this way a bit. [19:58] Chigiri     Right. A two-man wall, huh? [20:01] Isagi/I     Will he go for the shot or choose to pass? [20:05] Isagi/I     Those are Rin's only choices. [20:07] Isagi/I     My choices are: be part of     the wall in case he shoots, [20:09] Sign     Wall [20:09] Sign     Wall [20:10] Isagi/I     and if he passes, dart to the side     where we're outnumbered. [20:12] Sign     Press [20:12] Sign     Press [20:13] Isagi/I     But if I jump, I'll be slow into the press. [20:16] Isagi/I     I need to wait for the     moment he kicks it to decide. [20:20] Isagi/I     Is it a shot? Or a pass? [20:21] Isagi/I     Which one?! [20:25] Isagi/I     Huh? [20:26] Isagi/I     A topspin shot that starts     dipping just above my head? [20:32] Isagi/I     He got me. [20:34] Isagi/I     He didn't give me time to react. [20:36] Isagi/I     It was an ultra-fast pinpoint     free kick just above me! [20:40] Rin     You wavered between     pass and shot, didn't you? [20:43] Rin     Your analysis is so off. [20:44] Rin     This situation was never     two choices to begin with. [20:48] Rin     My goal. [20:50] Rin     That was the only choice. [20:53] Bachira/I     I see. [20:54] Bachira/I     Both Rin and Isagi are listening to their     own egos and scoring goals for themselves. [21:01] Bachira/I     Then, why am I... playing soccer? [21:08] Bachira/I     To find the "true monster"? [21:11] Bachira/I     Because I want "a friend"? [21:15] Bachira/I     No, I won't catch up to     those two with reasons like that. [21:23] Bachira/I     What is my ego? [21:29] Sign     Episode 21 [21:29] Sign     I'm Not There [23:03] Sign     A [23:03] Niko     Blue Lock, Additional Time. [23:04] Sign     Additional Time!

[23:24] Niko     Zantetsu-kun, have you decided     who you're going to team up with? [23:27] Zantetsu     Well, for now, I'm waiting for Nagi and Reo. [23:31] Niko/I     Maybe he'll fit the bill. [23:33] Niko     Are you sure they haven't moved on already? [23:38] Zantetsu     I guess there's a logic to that. [23:41] Zantetsu     Aw, man. Now I have to zero-base reschedule. [23:44] Niko/I     I don't think he'd     entertained that possibility. [23:47] Niko     Well, what about teaming up with me? [23:52] Zantetsu     What would be the merries      of this commitment?

[24:15] Zantetsu     They do say, "Yesterday's     friend is today's friend." [24:18] Niko     You mean "Yesterday's enemy." [24:20] Niko/I     He really is dumb. [24:22] Zantetsu     So?
