Brief Synopsis of Episode 11
The episode opens with Yoichi plotting to win the game by scoring a second goal with his spatial awareness weapon during Team Z’s last offensive against Team V. Yoichi uses Bachira’s deft dribbling, Chigiri’s quickness, Kunigami’s strength, and Raichi’s grit to break past the defence and keep the ball in play. Kuon explains on the bench that he committed the deliberate foul on Nagi not because he was trying to aid his team, but because his body reacted in that way. Regardless, Kuon is a big fan of Team Z and wants them to beat Team V. Bachira gambles on Yoichi in the left goal, passing the ball to him from 19 metres out.
This is when Nagi sneaks up on Yoichi from behind, causing the latter to scream in fear. Nagi’s frightening presence causes Yoichi to question himself and lose focus on the objective. Kunigami and Chigiri are pressuring Yoichi to send the ball to them, but Bachira is trying to keep him focused on the bigger picture. Yoichi combined his keen sense of direction, soccer prowess, and a powerful straight shot into his own unique formula for success on the field. Yoichi wins the game single-handedly against Team V with a hard straight shot to the goalie. With a final score of 5-4, Team Z triumphs against Team V. While Team Z rejoices in their triumph, Nagi says (to Reo’s surprise) that it’s very tough to swallow defeat in a competitive game. Kuon is still feeling ashamed over his prior betrayal, so Kunigami attempts to include him in Team Z’s celebration.
Raichi steps in and stops Kunigami from being the forgiving hero he might have been; yet, he also sees Kuon’s shocking foul against Nagi as the decisive moment that kept Team Z from losing. Yoichi, Kunigami, and the others cheer when Raichi strikes Kuon in the face, declaring that he would never forgive him even though they are now even. The last whistle blows and the announcer verifies the outcomes of the initial cut. As a consequence, Niko, Junichi, and Shouei, the top three scorers from the first round, will join the eleven remaining players from both teams to participate in the second round. As Team Z gets ready to celebrate, Bachira and Yoichi offer to grab beverages for everyone in the cafeteria.
They start talking about Yoichi’s game-winning goal against Team V and how he came up with his own strategy to score goals.
Niko, a member of Team Y, suddenly materialises in front of Bachira and Yoichi, claiming that he has matured since their loss to Team Z and that the next time they fight, he would triumph over Yoichi. When Yoichi and Bachira return to Squad Z’s accommodations, they find the rest of the team resting quietly rather than rejoicing in their victory. Raichi, who wanted to go to the second round as fast as possible, was disappointed the next day when Junichi revealed that Team Z would be undergoing physical training and would not be able to handle or kick soccer balls. They’ll be trained while the other groups go through their initial round of selection. Team Z undertakes ultra-core training, weight lifting, sprints, and a two-hour endurance run on the first day of physical conditioning. On the third and fourth days of training, some members of Team Z began to throw up due to the intensive exercise.
After 10 arduous days, the initial pick was made. The winning candidates were also instructed to go to the Building 5 central basement immediately to find out additional information about the second selection. While Jinpachi shocked Team Z by revealing that there is no Building 1, 2, 3, or even 4 in the Blue Lock programme, they still expected to meet fresh people from other buildings in the central basement of Building 5. In addition, Jinpachi lets everyone know that the first selection was focused on learning the basics of becoming a striker and turning a 0 into a 1. A second-round fight on a state-of-the-art training field, however, will be like fighting 100 of those. In addition, there are five levels to the second selection process, with only those who make it through each step continuing on.
Players that make it through the second round will be invited to a training camp with some of the best players in the world, as chosen by Junichi.
In addition, the second choice will not be a team activity, therefore all members of Team Z will have to compete individually to maintain their status in the competition. Yoichi was caught off guard when Itoshi Rin hit a low-arcing shot with curves and spin to meet the balls together after kicking a clean ball into a high and soft arc. Rin is the first challenger to pass through the gate for the second selection, as Team Z analyses his tremendous talents and control. Team Z comes together in a circle at the end of the programme to announce that they were all fake during the initial round of elimination. The group reassures one another that it will all make it through the second round of testing and back together again.
