In the latest chapter of Blue Lock, the soccer field becomes a battleground for egoists hungry for victory. After France takes the lead, Isagi and his team are poised for a powerful counterattack.
Notably, BM’s team undergoes strategic changes, with Kunigami moving from the second striker to the midfield alongside Ness and Raichi.
As tensions rise on the field, rivalries intensify, and players showcase their distinct egos. Shidou’s explosive goal sparks a competitive atmosphere, leading Isagi to delve into the intricacies of players’ mentalities.
He introduces the concept of “Self-Type” and “World-Type” egos, categorizing teammates based on their values and playing styles.
The chapter unfolds with dynamic dialogues, including Rin’s disdain for Shidou, Kaiser’s fiery determination, and Charles’s smirking presence.
Isagi’s introspection on the diverse mental approaches adds layers to the unfolding soccer drama.

“After France takes the lead, Isagi and his team are ready to strike back! The beasts (egoists) hungry for their goal, raise the signal for a counterattack!”
PAGE 1: From the previous chapter, there was a change in BM’s team, from Kunigami being the 2nd striker, he’s in the midfield like Ness and Raichi. RAICHI: Ora! It’s just a point! Let’s roll up from here, BASTARDS!, GAGAMARU: I’ll stop the next one. KIYORA: Yeah, yeah.
PAGE 2: TOKIMITSU: Oh… We’re on the same team, but we can’t be happy about Shidou’s goal.. right? NANASE: That’s right. TOKIMITSU: We have to assist Rin-kun’s goal and make him a hero, or else, our ranking won’t go up, right NANASE: Yes, if Rin-san sinks, we sink too. We’re in the same boat. CHARLES: smirking: evil emoji.
PAGE 3: RIN: You’re an eyesore, pink bug. SHIDOU: Oyoyo? Are you jealous of my explosion, Rin-rin? ISAGI: Nope, I agree that you’re an eyesore KAISER: So annoying, you scummy pink-haired.
PAGE 4: The game restarts with BM’s ball (Ness and Kaiser) KAISER: I’I burn you to ashes. (to Shidou) SHIDOU: Shaha! I’m so popular! It’s Scummy Pink Bug party night. The ball gets passed from Ness to Grimm.

PAGE 5: ISAGI mono: Reproduce it.the best x best (that goal, with Hiori! I understand it logically, but…It’s not easy for me to reach that “top performance”! What I need most is information that can foresee the future of the field! I don’t want to do it like Shidou, who goes for his own “pleasure”…
PAGE 6: ISAGI mono: I want to know the world outside of myself… Wait… Wait a second…I thought 1 just had to play for my own “best”, but the process and the way to concentrate are different for each person…No… That means… I see…
PAGE 7: ISAGI mono: A “top performance” can be divided into two types! One is the type that pursues one’s own “pleasure” without caring about the surroundings, like Shidou, and the other is the type that understands and calculates the surroundings and the environment and hits the “right spot” of the world! In other words…
PAGE 8: ISAGI mono: A “Self-type” ego and a “World-type” ego. The SELF TYPE is “Look at the “me” who scored the goal!” and the WORLD TYPE is Look at the “goal” that I scored!” ISAGI mono: This isn’t about which is good or bad, but which mentality is easier to play with and bring out one’s own ability, My personality and nature type
hypothesis!

PAGE 9: ISAGI mono: The “self-type” ego type values “one’s own value” the most! The world’s norms are secondary and they can show their abilities by immersing themselves in their own emotions and preferences!
On the other hand, the “world-type” ego type values “the world’s value” the most! They can show their abilities for the sake of the meaning and merit seen from the world, rather than their own emotions and sensibilities! If 1 applies that to them…
PAGE 10: ISAGI mono: Bachira and Barou probably have a “self-type” ego! Nagi and Zantetsu are definitely this type too! On the contrary, Karasu, Hiori, Reo, and I have a 100% “world-type” ego! Then is Kaiser a “world-type” who cares about the trophy? How about Charles? Which one is Kunigami? No…I mean…
PAGE 11: ISAGI mono: What about Rin? I don’t know! I need to analyze more! I need to figure out each type and gather more information to reach the “top performance” by reading the field! Know others! Input the world…
PAGE 12: ISAGI mono: for MY own best! The ball flew towards Ness’ direction but he was stopped by Zantetsu. Ness looks hurt. ZANTETSU: I got it, Ness! The ball bounced to Hiori.

PAGE 13: HIORI: Thanks for the meal. ZANTETSU: You? Were you aiming for it, Kyo-han? Isagi is running somewhere and Hiori sees it HIORI: Let’s go HIORI mono: If I want to reproduce that goal, I don’t want to pass it to lsagi-kun… I want to shoot my world’s best idea…
PAGE 14: HIORI mono: with all I’ve got… But Charles stole the ball from Hiori. CHARLES: Nice one, light blue Onisan. You’ve got good eyes too.
PAGE 15: HIORI mono: This guy… Did he read my pass cut perfectly? RAICHI: Sh*t! Don’t let him pass. HIORI mono: Charles can also use “metavision”! Before I can reproduce it with Isagi-kun.
PAGE 16: HIORI mono: I have to defeat this imp! Charles kicks the ball in Shidou’s direction. SHIDOU: Oyoyoyo! Here comes Charles boy again! But then.. KUNIGAMI: Long time no see..

PAGE 17: KUNIGAMI: You explosion demon! SHIDOU: Huh? Who are you? KUNIGAMI: You ruined my life…
PAGE 18-19: KUNIGAMI: It’s the mediocre hero! Kunigami with a header gets the ball away from Shidou. RAICHI: Whoa! Nice one, Kunigami HIORI, AND KUNIGAMI mono: My “best” is…
PAGE 20: HIORI mono: TO SURPASS THIS GUY KUNIGAMI mono: TO CHALLENGE HIM! “The key to victory is in your hands! Win this extreme showdown and become the hero who saves Germany!’ This be continued in the next chapter, “Getting Fired Up Again.”
