[01:46] Rin
    Not bad, guys.
[01:48] Rin
    Keep on being decoys for me.
[01:51] Bachira
    What gives, Rin-chan? Now that Isagi's on
    the team, your movement's on a whole other level.
[01:55] Isagi/I
    That goal just now...
[01:57] Isagi/I
    It was inspired by my off-the-ball movement
    as I tried to devour the image in Bachira's head.
[02:02] Isagi/I
    I made a run that was awkward for
    the opposition, and Rin fed off that.
[02:06] Tokimitsu
    Th-Those three are seriously amazing,
[02:09] Tokimitsu
    They scored straight away
    against the World Five...
[02:12] Aryu
    The chemistry between Isagi and Bachira
    drives them forward, and Rin devours it.
[02:17] Aryu
    Our last match opened up
     this avenue of attack to them,
[02:20] Aryu
    and it even works against
    the world's top players.
[02:23] Tokimitsu
    Wow, that's so cool.
[02:26] Aryu
    Yeah. What a noble triangle they have formed.
[02:29] Aryu
    Fabulously glam.
[02:30] Aryu
    Add me in and we'll make it a square.
[02:33] Isagi
    Huh?
[02:34] Tokimitsu
    Hey, I want in! Let's make it a pentagon!
[02:37] Isagi
    If you wanna join in, have at it.
[02:40] Bachira
    Okay, let's see how far we can go.
[02:42] Rin
    I told you, we're gonna win.
[02:46] Isagi/I
    Sure, that goal worked, 
    but it wasn't my goal.
[02:51] Isagi/I
    Next time, I'll be the one to score!
[02:57] Isagi/I
    Bring it, Mister "I'm 17 and
    I already play for France"!
[03:01] Isagi/I
    He's looking for someone to pass to?
[03:04] Loki
    Um, is this okay?
[03:06] Sign
    Julian Loki
    France International
[03:07] Loki
    At this distance,
[03:08] Loki
    you've got nothing but weak spots.
[03:10] Isagi/I
    He's coming! His first touch...
[03:13] Isagi
    Huh?!
[03:14] Isagi/I
    He's super fast!
[03:16] Isagi/I
    What's with his explosive acceleration?!
[03:20] Isagi
    Bachira!
[03:21] Isagi/I
    Once in top gear, he doesn't slow at all,
    and his strides while dribbling are huge!
[03:26] Tokimitsu
    Oh no! He eats up so much
     ground with each touch!
[03:29] Aryu
    He's past you before you can even react.
[03:31] Rin
    Your route is too obvious.
[03:34] Loki
    You've got good foresight.
[03:36] Loki
    But I'm fast.
[03:39] Isagi/I
    He...
[03:40] Isagi/I
    He went up another gear?
[03:42] Isagi/I
    So this is the speed of
    Loki the Child Prodigy?
[03:49] Isagi/I
    This is the World Five!
[03:52] Cabassos
    Come on, Loki. Don't do it all yourself.
[03:54] Silva
    Pass it next time, you jerk!
[03:56] Loki
    Okay.
[03:57] Loki
    I've had enough, anyway.
[03:59] Loki
    Let's finish this up and hit the showers.
[04:02] Tokimitsu
    Do we even stand a chance?
[04:03] Aryu
    Like a sprinter.
[04:06] Bachira
    Unbelievable speed.
[04:08] Rin
    Stop whining and just give me the ball.
[04:17] Luna
    Are you...
[04:17] Luna
    that scared of Loki's speed?
[04:19] Luna
    You've just got tunnel vision from a lack of experience.
[04:23] Luna
    Take it away...
[04:23] Luna
    baby.
[04:24] Cabassos
    All righty.
[04:25] Isagi
    We'll stop him, Bachira!
    The two of us can box him in.
[04:28] Bachira
    Gotcha.
[04:32] Cabassos
    Ka-zoom.

    Pablo Cabassos
    Argentina International
[04:35] Isagi/I
    He pinged a pacy pass 
    with backspin between us?!
[04:38] Aryu
    So this is where you were aiming.
     I will win this aerial battle.
[04:42] Sign
    Dada Silva
    Brazil International
[04:43] Silva
    You're goin' down!
[04:48] Isagi/I
    Aryu doesn't have free rein in the air?
[04:51] Tokimitsu
    Oh no! Not in front of the goal!
[04:53] Tokimitsu
    But I can reach it! I'll clear it!
[04:56] Blake
    Move.
[04:58] Sign
    Adam Blake
    England International
[04:58] Blake
    I've got no interest in male bodies.
[05:01] Isagi/I
    Tokimitsu got outmuscled?
[05:04] Isagi/I
    It's no good. Speed, anticipation,
    kicking, jumping, physical strength...
[05:12] Isagi/I
    Every single one of our
    weapons is being overpowered.
[05:16] Isagi/I
    Everything we've been doing in
    Blue Lock up to now isn't working!
[05:22] Isagi/I
    Here are some players we can
    never beat as we are now.
[05:30] Isagi/I
    This is how far away
    we still are from the very top.
[05:36] Isagi/I
    This is the level I'm aiming to reach?
[05:40] Isagi/I
    Soccer is amazing.
[05:44] Isagi/I
    I want to get to that level.
[05:47] Rin
    Not yet.
[05:49] Rin
    No, we're not done yet!
[05:53] Isagi/I
    Rin.
[05:55] Luna
    I like you.

    Spain International
[06:00] Luna
    Unlike these other kids,
[06:01] Luna
    you really still think you can win this.
[06:04] Luna
    I'm gonna discourage...
[06:05] Luna
    you.
[06:13] Luna
    That's no good.
[06:15] Luna
    If you open your legs that easily,
[06:17] Luna
    people are gonna think you're a loose guy.
[06:30] Blake
    Don't be depressed.
[06:31] Blake
    This is just an assessment.
[06:33] Silva
    There's no way you coulda won!
[06:35] Cabassos
    Time to report to Ego about your skills.
[06:38] Luna
    Adiós, you lumps of talent.

[08:14] Isagi
    We seriously drowned out there.
[08:17] Aryu
    Yeah. I thought I'd gotten stronger
     since coming to Blue Lock,
[08:21] Aryu
    but I feel like I've been put in my place.
[08:24] Bachira
    But you know...
[08:27] Bachira
    After playing guys I thought belonged
    on the other end of a TV screen,
[08:31] Bachira
    the whole "best in the world" thing
    feels a bit more real to me now.
[08:34] Aryu
    Yeah, I think I know what you mean.
[08:37] Aryu
    Becoming the world's best striker
     isn't such a fantasy anymore.
[08:41] Tokimitsu
    Yeah! It's far off, for sure,
    but it's definitely within sight.
[08:44] Isagi
    Right.
[08:46] Isagi/I
    This feeling must have been
    the point of playing that game.
[08:50] Isagi/I
    But...
[08:51] Isagi/I
    He was different.
[08:53] Isagi/I**
    He was the only one who thought
    we could actually beat the World Five.
[08:59] Isagi/I
    I was totally overwhelmed.
[09:02] Isagi/I
    Midway through, I felt I was just
    testing myself against better players.
[09:06] Isagi/I
    I was happy just taking
    on these players I adored,
[09:09] Isagi/I
    and accepted that this was
    the best I could do at this point.
[09:13] Isagi/I
    So it's remarkable how
    frustrated you got with it all, Rin.
[09:18] Isagi/I
    I still look up to those on the world stage.
[09:22] Isagi/I
    But to you, they are your equals,
    and you must defeat them.
[09:26] Isagi/I
    A guy like you has what it takes
    to become the best in the world.
[09:30] Isagi/I
    Rin, I will watch you
    from my front-row seat,
[09:35] Isagi/I
    and surpass you to
    become the best in the world!

[10:02] Tokimitsu
    Excuse me, Rin-kun.
[10:03] Tokimitsu
    Is it true that when you introduce yourself,
    you can say "I'm..." instead of "My name is..."?
[10:07] Aryu
    Hey, Rin.

    have made it into the third selection,

[11:19] Bachira
    Seven teams, huh?
[11:21] Bachira
    Quite a lot dropped out, then.
[11:23] Isagi
    Right.
[11:24] Isagi
    There were 300 of us at the start,
     meaning 265 failed to get through.
[11:29] Isagi
    I wonder if those guys made it, too.
[11:32] Bachira
    Are you missing Team Z or something?
[11:37] Isagi
    Nah.
[11:38] Isagi
    I just wonder how much stronger they are now.
    Like, how much they've evolved, you know?

    I already told you that I would
     be the one to crush you.
[14:52] Chigiri
    Wait, aren't they missing a player?
[14:55] Anri/I
    Nishioka Hajime from
    the fifth team to pass
[14:57] Anri/I
    was injured in their World Five game

    Sounds like everyone here

[15:09] Isagi/I
    Two teams left.
[15:11] Isagi/I
    Those guys will make it, right?
[15:13] Annri/I
    Could the sixth team to pass please enter?
[15:17] Raichi
    I said quit pushin'!
[15:19] Gagamaru
    I wanna make a cool entrance
    with me in the middle.
[15:22] Junichi
    "No, I'll be the middle!" is what I'm saying.
[15:24] Raichi
    Stop that, you bastards!

[15:45] Raichi
    Gagamaru, you...
[15:47] Junichi
    "Get off me!" is what I'm saying.
[15:50] Chigiri
    Big Bro Wanima's actually talking...
[15:52] Junichi
    "We get to play again," is what I'm saying.
[15:57] Isagi
    One team left.
[15:59] Nagi
    Right.
[16:00] Nagi
    They aren't here yet.
[16:02] Nagi
    Reo and Kunigami.
[16:04] Isagi/I
    No, they'll be here. They have to be!
[16:07] Isagi/I

    Where's Kunigami?
[16:58] Anri/I
    That is everyone that has
    advanced to the third selection.
[17:02] Isagi
    Hey, Reo. Why isn't he here? Well?
[17:07] Reo
    We lost.
[17:09] Reo
    I got chosen.
[17:10] Isagi
    Huh?
[17:12] Reo
    He wasn't the kind of person who could
    become the best striker in the world.
[17:16] Reo
    That's all there is to it.
[17:17] Isagi
    That can't be true.
[17:19] Isagi
    There's no way Kunigami would
    let it end in a place like this!
[17:23] Shidou
    Well, he did.
[17:24] Shidou
    And I'm the one who
    sent him sliding down to hell.
[17:29] Shidou
    Though, sure, he had a great physique,
[17:32] Shidou
    and his honest heart was
    pure, fair, and graceful. But...
[17:37] Shidou
    On the field, no one gives a shit
    if you're a good guy or not.
[17:42] Shidou
    Anyone who ain't living for
    those explosive flashes is trash.
[17:46] Shidou
    That innocent and honest
    shit stain of a hero
[17:49] Shidou
    was just a slime who didn't
     even help me level up.
[17:54] Isagi
    Shut your hole. You don't know
     a thing about Kunigami—
[17:57] Shidou
    Like I said, no one gives a shit...
[18:00] Shidou
    about your story!
[18:04] Shidou
    Chigiri?
[18:05] Chigiri
    This guy's really pissing me off.
[18:07] Bachira
    You said it.
[18:09] Bachira
    We can take this outside if you like.
[18:11] Bachira
    If you ask me, you're the slime, 
    Mr. Salon Tan Antenna Guy.
[18:15] Shidou
    This tan ain't from the salon. It's all sun, bro.
[18:19] Ego
    Okay, settle down, diamonds in the rough.
[18:23] Ego
    You have no time to be worrying
    about those who didn't make it.
[18:27] Ego
    After all, your own soccer
    careers might go up in smoke
[18:31] Ego
    and be relegated to worthless garbage,
    along with Blue Lock itself.
[18:37] Ego
    Oh, but before all of that, good work.
[18:39] Ego
    That defeat at the hands of the World Five
    was an invaluable experience, I'm sure.
[18:44] Ego
    I can tell you the purpose
    of that match later, but...
[18:46] Ego
    Well, let's just say a lot has
    happened, and plans have changed.
[18:52] Ego
    Seems the bigwigs of Japanese soccer
    want to shut down Blue Lock and soon.
[18:59] Ego
    So I decided to challenge them.
[19:04] Ego
    As such, the next selection will
    take place three weeks from now,
[19:07] Ego
    and the future of Blue Lock is riding on it.
[19:11] Ego
    It'll be a special big match between
    Japan's Under-20s team and the Blue Lock XI.
[19:19] Ego
    And if you win the match,
    we get to hijack Japan's U-20s team.
[19:26] Gagamaru
    "Hijack"?
[19:28] Raichi
    Does that mean we'll be on the U-20s?
[19:32] Ego
    Well, after all, this is a ragtag team of high 
    school players, and everyone's a forward.
[19:37] Ego
    They all snickered and
    readily agreed to the match.
[19:41] Ego
    Their aim is to can the Blue Lock project,
[19:45] Ego
    and use the buzz over this showdown
    to represent Japan to rake in money.
[19:49] Ego
    But if we lose, we'll be a laughingstock,
[19:52] Ego
    and our names will go down in Japanese soccer
    history as a failed attempt to train up talent.
[19:58] Ego
    So how does what you've
    heard so far make you feel?
[20:01] Ego
    Frustrated at being taken so lightly?
[20:03] Ego
    Or burning with fury and
    wanting to give them a shock?
[20:06] Ego
    And I can say this quite
    calmly and pragmatically...
[20:12] Ego
    Right now, you're good enough
    to overthrow Japanese soccer.
[20:17] Ego
    That said, they're also
    gonna go all-out for the win.
[20:22] Ego
    They've added one more
    player to their team.
[20:25] Ego
    Itoshi Sae is that player.
[20:37] Ego
    Now, it's time to put it all on the line.
[20:41] Ego
    You 35 have discovered your egos,
    mastered weapons and chemical reactions,
[20:44] Ego
    and seen the level of the
    world's top players firsthand.
[20:48] Ego
    Bagging a spot on Japan's
    U-20s is no longer a dream.
[20:53] Ego
    It's a reality you can reach out and grab.
[20:57] Ego
    Let's go, diamonds in the rough.
[21:00] Ego
    We here at Blue Lock
    will create a new epoch.

    Over here! I'm free!
[21:25] Isagi/I
    "One for all and all for one."
[21:28] Isagi/I
    I used to think soccer was a sport
    where eleven players fought as one.
[21:34] Isagi/I
    But now I know it's not.
[21:41] Isagi/I
    In soccer, the one who scores
    the most is the greatest.
[21:45] Isagi/I
    Soccer exists for strikers.
[21:49] Isagi/I
    And as a striker, nothing should bring
    you more joy than your own goals.
[21:53] Isagi/I
    You should live only for that moment.
[21:56] Isagi/I
    I'm not fighting for all of you.
[22:01] Isagi/I
    I'm not fighting for someone else's dream.
[22:05] Isagi/I
    I am me.
[22:07] Isagi/I
    This is my dream. My fight.
[22:12] Isagi/I
    I'm glad I got to fight alongside you.
[22:24] Isagi/I
    And that's why I'll climb over your corpses.
[22:31] Isagi/I
    I was a complete unknown and
    a total nobody until recently,
[22:36] Isagi/I
    but if we win this, I could
    end up on Japan's U-20s team.
[22:41] Isagi/I
    With this one game,
[22:42] Isagi/I
    I can change my life completely.
[22:46] Isagi/I
    All of us are only here to win.
[22:51] Isagi/I
    I won't let them put an end to Blue Lock.
[22:54] Isagi/I
    I will change the world with my goal.
[23:00] Isagi/I
    I'll become the best striker in the world!
