A Look Back at Blue Lock Episode 2: “Monster”
In “Monster,” the “Blue Lock” recap episode, Jinpachi explains why Kira was kicked out of the institution. When it comes to helping the forwards achieve their goal of being the best in the world, Jinpachi maintains the entire facility was built with that in mind. Isagi rapidly learns that the vast majority of Blue Lock’s players are far more nimble and in better shape than he is. The next day, Jinpachi sits down with Isagi and his roommates to talk about his first selection and explain how it works. What follows is everything you need to know about Blue Lock, the last segment of Episode 2.
In the wake of Japan’s World Cup loss, a meeting is held at the JSA headquarters. New JFU employee Anri Teieri is extremely frustrated with the current state of Japanese soccer. She argues that the country has to make major adjustments. Unlike some other JFU members who are sloppy or incompetent, she thinks the national soccer team has to make major adjustments. Only if Jinpachi Ego takes charge can it be accomplished. As a result of her address to the Japan Soccer Union, Blue Lock was founded.
Kira keeps attempting to wrap his head around the reality of losing the ability and his chance to fully define Japan. He’s indignant, saying that the game has nothing in common with real soccer. Jinpachi claims that the playing field was the same size as a standard penalty area and that the game was a tag that put each player’s accuracy and other talents to the test. Jinpachi argues that Kira possesses the vanity and tenacity essential for a striker of his quality by citing examples from his bouts, but Kira is still struggling to accept that he was eliminated. After Isagi dashed his hopes of becoming a national icon, he made the decision to leave.
Later in the day, the strikers return and see that players are given varied treatment based on their totals. Isagi shares a dorm with the other 11-tag team members. He starts having sleepless nights after realising that nobody else in the group is quite as competent as he is. Bachira wakes him up when he decides he wants to be a coach, and the two of them end up training together. Then, Bachira tells Isagi that a monster within his head dictates how well he plays soccer. All that is required is for him to pay attention. When he passed the ball to Kira, he was promptly taken out of the game.
The next day, Isagi finds out through his pals that Blue Lock players live in a total of five different structures. Each structure has its own facilities, and which one a striker is assigned to use depends on their level of expertise. Isagi and his colleagues are the bottom-tier players. Itoshi Sae, a top-tier Japanese gamer, is leaving for Europe. In his opinion, no Japanese player is worthy of his cross, hence he has no plans to play for Japan again. He decides to give up his goals after stumbling upon a news conference held by the Japan Soccer Union, during which Anri reveals their plans for Japan’s future in light of the Blue Lock challenge.
3rd Episode of Blue Lock
In the finals of the regional government competition, with his side behind 1-0, striker Yoichi Isagi passes the ball to an open teammate in front of the goal. Isagi concedes a goal because he wants to be a team player and his teammate missed the target. This time, it’s the other side’s captain, Ryosuke Kira, who shifts the momentum by scoring the game-winning goal and sending his team on to the national tournament. Yoichi later finds out that he is one of 300 attackers being imprisoned at the secret soccer training facility Blue Lock, after being referred to the Japan Football Union. There appears to be some sort of survivorship recruit training going on with the offensive players in order to choose who will be the starting striker for the Japanese national football team.
In the first round, players compete in a tag game where the person who is touched by a ball kicked by another player becomes “it” and is out of the game when time runs out.
Starting with Gurimu Igarashi, the lowest ranked striker, as “it,” Yoichi is eventually tagged and becomes “it.” Yoichi gambles by tagging Ryosuke to be eliminated rather than Gurimu when the latter is on the ground, and he does it at the last possible moment before the timer runs out.
