Otoya

00:22.960 --> 00:25.100
<i>This is the final match.</i>

00:25.440 --> 00:27.210
You're a persistent pest!

00:27.210 --> 00:29.860
Don't like it? Leave.

00:35.440 --> 00:36.760
Son of a...

00:40.630 --> 00:42.280
<i>The fifth match is over.</i>

00:42.280 --> 00:45.120
<i>Team A wins, 5-4.</i>

00:45.580 --> 00:48.160
Oh, boy. I've got a bad feeling about this.

00:48.160 --> 00:50.380
Hey, you <i>do</i> know the match is over, right?

00:51.840 --> 00:55.210
Good. Now I can kill him
 without any worries.

00:55.210 --> 00:57.550
You talentless piece of trash!

00:57.550 --> 00:59.820
Couldn't agree more.

00:59.820 --> 01:02.600
I'll curb stomp ya and
 put ya outta action for good!

01:06.140 --> 01:08.150
Your head's gonna be crackalack-Rin-Rin!

01:08.670 --> 01:10.610
Seriously, you shouldn't be doing that!

01:16.990 --> 01:19.370
That's enough out of you.

01:19.370 --> 01:23.450
<i>I can't believe I had to use the 
electric shock anti-riot measure.</i>

01:23.450 --> 01:24.870
Electric shock?!

01:25.850 --> 01:28.330
<i>All the matches are now over.</i>

01:28.670 --> 01:30.840
<i>The tryouts are complete.</i>

Have you made your decision?

03:26.300 --> 03:27.290
Yeah.

03:27.290 --> 03:31.370
"Too many cooks spoil the broth."

03:31.370 --> 03:32.250
Huh?

03:32.790 --> 03:36.930
Some talents have to be 
left out if you want to win.

03:38.170 --> 03:40.710

03:52.220 --> 03:54.850
Probably still in the correction room.

03:55.600 --> 03:59.570
<i>Aside from the Top 6, 
the only guys who scored were me...</i>

03:59.950 --> 04:01.030
<i>Bachira...</i>

04:01.420 --> 04:02.370
<i>Barou...</i>

04:02.900 --> 04:03.930
<i>and Reo.</i>

04:04.490 --> 04:07.060
<i>If that's how he's picking players, 
I've got a chance.</i>

04:08.100 --> 04:09.160
<i>I want to be chosen.</i>

04:10.470 --> 04:13.520
<i>I want to fight on a field
 where I can change my own destiny.</i>

04:23.800 --> 04:27.870
Hello there. Good work, 
diamonds in the rough.

04:29.280 --> 04:32.160
Is this the second time 
I've seen you in person?

04:31.830 --> 04:34.640
Blue Lock General Director

04:32.740 --> 04:34.640
Good to see you again.

04:34.990 --> 04:37.350
Wow, it's been ages.

04:37.350 --> 04:38.860
Ego in the flesh.

04:39.300 --> 04:41.350
Let me redefine this.

04:41.790 --> 04:44.360
Soccer is a sport where you score goals.

04:44.850 --> 04:47.470
Goals are the one 
and only existential value.

04:47.830 --> 04:54.330
That's why I've built a team around 
the egoist with the highest goal average.

04:55.450 --> 04:57.110
Prepare yourselves and listen up.

04:57.110 --> 05:02.960
I will now announce the eleven players 
who will take on Japan's U-20s.

05:05.210 --> 05:07.340
First, the guy up top:

05:08.270 --> 05:09.700
Itoshi Rin.

05:12.010 --> 05:15.850
He has the highest goal 
average of 2.5 per game.

05:15.850 --> 05:21.700
The team will employ a super all-out 
attack formation centered around you.

05:22.190 --> 05:25.070
If they score five, 
you will score six and win.

05:25.550 --> 05:27.340
"Destruction follows destruction."

05:27.340 --> 05:32.270
As its vanguard, you embody
 the philosophy of this team.

05:33.090 --> 05:38.570
And the remaining ten players will be 
the bullets that escalate that destruction.

05:38.960 --> 05:40.920
First up, the goalkeeper:

05:41.510 --> 05:42.840
Gagamaru Gin.

05:43.200 --> 05:45.230
Oh. Me?

05:46.630 --> 05:49.340
Explosive reactions 
and a body on springs.

05:49.790 --> 05:53.640
You scored highest in 
the goalkeeper aptitude.

05:54.070 --> 05:56.860
You'll be the guardian of this team.

05:56.890 --> 06:00.230
So that's why. Got it.

06:00.800 --> 06:03.530
Next up are the two center backs:

06:03.780 --> 06:05.410
Aryu Jyubei...

06:05.410 --> 06:06.790
and Niko Ikki.

06:07.280 --> 06:10.860
The right center back will overwhelm
opponents with his height and reach.

06:11.550 --> 06:15.450
The left center back has a sharp mind 
for stealing the ball and reading the field.

06:16.270 --> 06:22.250
And the two full-backs who'll use speed and 
technique to dribble up and down the flanks...

06:22.250 --> 06:25.490
On the right is Chigiri Hyoma.

06:25.490 --> 06:26.460
Yes, sir.

06:26.460 --> 06:29.850
And on the left is Bachira Meguru.

06:29.850 --> 06:31.300
All righty.

06:31.730 --> 06:35.520
That said, no matter where I am 
on the field, I'll try to score.

06:38.030 --> 06:45.150
And the defensive midfielder connecting 
this defensive line to the front line...

06:46.100 --> 06:47.550
Karasu Tabito.

06:48.190 --> 06:51.120
You're the best at keeping
 the ball in Blue Lock,

06:51.120 --> 06:56.170
and your analytical skills help you see 
chances, so you'll be the heart of this team.

06:57.580 --> 06:59.830
I had a feeling you'd say that, dumdum.

07:00.920 --> 07:03.470
Now for the attackers.

07:04.510 --> 07:07.920
Slicing through the opponent's defensive
 walls from the wings, we have...

07:08.520 --> 07:09.750
Otoya Eita.

07:09.750 --> 07:11.130
'Kay.

07:11.710 --> 07:13.150
Yukimiya Kenyu.

07:13.150 --> 07:15.100
Yes, my pleasure.

07:15.580 --> 07:18.850
The right winger has speed and stealth
 to get behind opponents,

07:19.400 --> 07:23.360
while the left winger 
dominates in one-on-ones.

07:23.870 --> 07:30.860
And the two players stationed 
between them as the core of our attack:

07:31.470 --> 07:36.960
First, a superb talent who scores 
stellar goals thanks to his ball control...

07:37.870 --> 07:39.200
Nagi Seishiro.

07:40.190 --> 07:41.190
Gotcha.

07:43.070 --> 07:44.870
And let me remind you again.

07:45.240 --> 07:50.880
This team employs a super all-out attack 
formation, centered around Itoshi Rin.

07:48.220 --> 07:50.880
Super All-Out

07:48.220 --> 07:50.880
Attack

07:48.550 --> 07:50.880
Formation

07:50.880 --> 07:55.960
The one who scored highest 
in compatibility with Itoshi Rin,

07:55.960 --> 08:00.020
fulfilling the "assertion and coexistence" 
requirement as his shadow,

08:00.020 --> 08:03.630
while possessing the talent to 
subjugate him and score himself...

08:05.710 --> 08:08.040
The last piece of this puzzle is you...

08:10.110 --> 08:11.690
Isagi Yoichi.

08:15.760 --> 08:16.590
Yes, sir.

08:18.620 --> 08:19.620
That is all.

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Yukimiya

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Nagi

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Itoshi

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Isagi

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Otoya

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Bachira

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Niko

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Karasu

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Aryu

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Chigiri

08:22.170 --> 08:25.000
Gagamaru

08:22.410 --> 08:28.170
Here's the Blue Lock XI to face Japan's U-20s.

08:30.730 --> 08:33.090
<i>I did it. I got chosen.</i>

08:34.080 --> 08:36.370
<i>I'm one of the Blue Lock XI!</i>

08:44.810 --> 08:47.140
Damn it.

08:47.950 --> 08:49.040
I have a question.

08:49.580 --> 08:52.430
Why isn't Shidou-kun on the team?

08:52.740 --> 08:55.960
He scored goals, and he's the No.2, right?

08:56.510 --> 09:02.660
Indeed, Shidou Ryusei did have 
a high goal average of 2.0 per game.

09:03.270 --> 09:06.070
But those goals all stemmed
 from his own skills.

09:06.070 --> 09:08.250
Which means that in these tryouts,

09:08.930 --> 09:12.300
he wasn't able to trigger a single 
chemical reaction with Itoshi Rin.

09:09.350 --> 09:12.300
Chemical 
Reaction

09:09.350 --> 09:12.300
Chemical 
Reaction

09:09.920 --> 09:12.300
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

09:09.920 --> 09:12.300
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

09:09.920 --> 09:12.300
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

09:09.920 --> 09:12.300
m 0 0 l 100 0 100 100 0 100

09:12.710 --> 09:18.430
Plus, if he gets a red card for violent conduct, 
it'll put us at a major disadvantage.

09:18.430 --> 09:24.390
For these reasons, I've determined 
he shouldn't be on the same field as Itoshi Rin.

09:24.390 --> 09:29.980
More importantly, none of you can handle 
an egoist of Shidou Ryusei's caliber.

09:30.560 --> 09:35.110
Someone who gets his thought process and 
goals to mutually improve the level of play...

09:35.110 --> 09:38.990
We have no such talent here in Blue Lock.

09:38.990 --> 09:43.830
I mean, I don't think there's anyone anywhere
 in Japan who can handle a guy like him.

09:43.830 --> 09:48.170
But it'd be such a waste 
not to make use of his talents.

09:48.750 --> 09:53.630
Right. So Shidou Ryusei will be a joker card
 we can sub in for Itoshi Rin.

09:54.380 --> 09:55.910
Or at least, that <i>was</i> the plan.

09:57.440 --> 09:59.010
What changed?

09:59.680 --> 10:04.470
A few hours ago, I received 
a phone call from Buratsuta of the JFU.

10:04.480 --> 10:10.030
Japan Football Union

10:04.480 --> 10:10.030
Buratsuta

10:04.910 --> 10:10.030
Unless we meet a condition proposed 
by Itoshi Sae, he'll back out of the match.

10:12.270 --> 10:17.190
If Itoshi Sae doesn't play, the match will 
be canceled, since the tickets won't sell.

10:17.190 --> 10:21.550
And Blue Lock will die a natural death.
 That's what he said.

10:22.310 --> 10:25.510
The condition Itoshi Sae proposed is this...

10:29.230 --> 10:31.830
3 hours earlier

10:33.470 --> 10:35.920
Lemme outta here, you four-eyed bastard.

10:36.490 --> 10:39.420
I promise I won't hit anyone anymore.

10:42.840 --> 10:44.580
I know you can hear me!

10:44.580 --> 10:47.100
I'll kill you, Mr. Lock-Off Specs!

10:54.630 --> 10:57.270
What's up, Devil Boy?

10:58.110 --> 10:59.510
Who the hell are you?

11:00.740 --> 11:04.450
This cage must be too small for you.

11:07.850 --> 11:09.450
I'll set you free.

11:10.190 --> 11:12.200
I want your ego.

11:12.830 --> 11:15.790
Go berserk for me.

11:22.890 --> 11:29.930
The condition was to add a player of 
his choice from Blue Lock to the U-20s.

11:29.930 --> 11:36.090
In other words, Itoshi Sae 
chose Shidou Ryusei over you.

11:38.320 --> 11:40.780
We have 15 days left.

11:42.030 --> 11:46.450
I'll assign you a training schedule
that'll guarantee us victory.

11:46.750 --> 11:49.080
Give it everything you've got.

11:49.590 --> 11:52.880
From here on, failure will not be tolerated.

11:53.360 --> 11:56.370
Hmph. That's half-baked, you four-eyed rat.

11:57.180 --> 12:02.030
For me, this game is nothing but a stepping 
stone to becoming number one in the world.

12:02.720 --> 12:07.930
True. I mean, I already bet
 my life when I got here.

12:08.300 --> 12:10.770
I ain't average enough for that to scare me.

12:10.770 --> 12:12.570
I'm getting stoked.

12:12.570 --> 12:13.980
I'm looking forward to it.

12:14.440 --> 12:16.770
Yeah. I want to play them now.

12:17.540 --> 12:21.690
That's the ego I want to see, Blue Lock XI.

12:22.210 --> 12:25.910
<i>Right. My goal isn't just 
to get picked for the team.</i>

12:26.910 --> 12:32.460
<i>I will... no, Blue Lock will win 
this game and go beyond it...</i>

12:33.670 --> 12:34.840
<i>Onto the world stage!</i>

12:36.510 --> 12:40.020
We will now begin the final training camp.

12:37.900 --> 12:38.340
Final

12:37.900 --> 12:38.340
Final

12:38.340 --> 12:38.590
Final Train

12:38.340 --> 12:38.590
Final Train

12:38.590 --> 12:38.800
Final Training

12:38.590 --> 12:38.800
Final Training

12:38.800 --> 12:41.130
Final Training Camp

12:38.800 --> 12:41.130
Final Training Camp

12:41.680 --> 12:45.590
Meeting Room, Japan U-20s Training Center

12:42.890 --> 12:45.590
Japan's U-20s
vs
Blue Lock

12:42.890 --> 12:45.590
Strategy
Meeting

12:43.610 --> 12:45.590
The match is in two weeks.

12:45.760 --> 12:50.310
Japan's U-20s Manager

12:46.110 --> 12:50.310
And joining the Japan team 
for the first time is...

12:50.890 --> 12:52.890
Itoshi Sae!

12:52.890 --> 12:55.850
New Generation
World's Best 11

12:55.850 --> 12:58.360
Wow, it's really him.

12:58.360 --> 13:00.350
I can't believe we get to play with him.

13:00.350 --> 13:04.260
Is that a good thing? 
He looks like an unpleasant prince to me.

13:01.460 --> 13:07.880
Japan's U-20s

13:04.260 --> 13:05.860
Hey, he can hear you.

13:05.860 --> 13:06.780
Who's that guy?

13:06.780 --> 13:11.330
Hm? Must be a freebie that came
with Itoshi Sae. Who knows?

13:11.680 --> 13:17.180
For the honor of representing Japan, 
we can't afford to lose, no matter what.

13:17.180 --> 13:19.040
Sae-kun, tell them how eager you are.

13:19.910 --> 13:23.000
I don't have an ounce 
of interest in any of you.

13:23.860 --> 13:29.180
But a chance like this doesn't come 
around twice in your playing careers.

13:29.180 --> 13:32.290
Do your best not to irritate me. That is all.

13:32.290 --> 13:33.470
Wait, um...

13:34.880 --> 13:36.350
Talk about confidence.

13:36.850 --> 13:39.160
Don't underestimate us, Mr. Genius.

13:39.160 --> 13:44.570
People might make a fuss about you overseas, 
but that's just at academy level.

13:44.570 --> 13:49.240
We play in Japan's top league, 
and I'm a starting forward.

13:49.240 --> 13:50.670
So watch your mouth.

13:51.010 --> 13:55.540
And? You compete to be the top scorer 
in Japan, play for the Japan team,

13:55.860 --> 14:02.000
make an annual salary of 50 million yen, 
marry a pin-up model, and have a happy family.

14:02.000 --> 14:05.300
That's about the limits
of your soccer career.

14:06.110 --> 14:08.630
My only interest is becoming
 the best in the world.

14:09.470 --> 14:12.030
The depth of your desire 
is nowhere near mine.

14:12.510 --> 14:13.980
I-I wanna be the best—

14:13.970 --> 14:16.180
<i>You</i> should watch your mouth!

14:16.620 --> 14:18.590
You waste of a striker!

14:18.980 --> 14:22.190
Too bad. So sad. See you in your next life.

14:22.190 --> 14:25.640
You've got zero sense if 
you're concerned about status.

14:25.640 --> 14:27.560
Wh-What's your deal?!

14:27.560 --> 14:28.780
That's our star player—

14:28.780 --> 14:29.510
Oh?

14:29.470 --> 14:32.450
Japan's U-20s

14:30.180 --> 14:32.450
You all wanna go?

14:32.820 --> 14:35.620
Okay, if I win, put me in the starting lineup.

14:35.620 --> 14:36.950
S-Stop already!

14:37.810 --> 14:39.290
Shut up, freebie.

14:39.600 --> 14:41.270
Don't you dare insult me!

14:41.270 --> 14:44.110
Okay, here's my first goal!

14:46.420 --> 14:48.660
All right, you guys. Stop it now.

14:49.120 --> 14:51.930
Talk about being underestimated.

14:55.840 --> 14:58.900
Love the spirit, little puppy.

14:59.340 --> 15:02.810
But it's on the field you're 
supposed to be showing results.

15:03.310 --> 15:07.070
Li'l Genius, you're a newcomer here, too.

15:07.070 --> 15:10.400
So why don't you win 
our trust with your play?

15:11.310 --> 15:12.860
As the defensive line...

15:12.870 --> 15:14.620
Japan's U-20s

15:13.370 --> 15:14.620
Japan's U-20s

15:14.620 --> 15:18.620
Japan's U-20s

15:15.140 --> 15:18.620
Japan's U-20s

15:15.990 --> 15:17.530
...we've got your back.

15:20.110 --> 15:23.640
Built around their tall defender, Aiku, 
who's gotten offers from Italy's Serie A,

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
The captain of the team

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
for his strong defensive skills.

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
Aiku plays at center back, and the Japan team...

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
He has roots in Sweden, Germany, and Japan. As a defender...

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
His physique and leadership skills are second to none among his peers...

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
He's one of the notable players who will be the next generation's....

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
Having received offers from Serie A clubs in Italy, his presence is known

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
throughout the world of soccer.  When he was younger, he played keeper

15:22.580 --> 15:27.050
converted to a defender and his talent blossomed.

15:23.640 --> 15:27.050
the U-20s play a catenaccio system.

15:29.600 --> 15:33.010
I see. So they're a defensive team.

15:33.390 --> 15:34.890
We just need to smash 'em, right?

15:34.890 --> 15:40.200
Yeah. That said, they <i>are</i> the strongest 
elite team of players under 20 in Japan,

15:40.200 --> 15:42.480
so it won't be that easy.

15:42.480 --> 15:44.850
So we just need to smash 'em, right?

15:44.850 --> 15:48.150
Bachira, you keep repeating yourself.

15:50.430 --> 15:53.790
Because we just need to smash 'em, right?

15:55.700 --> 15:57.630
Are you even listening?

15:59.110 --> 16:03.160
<i>Complete your morning drill
 and take a break.</i>

16:03.620 --> 16:06.640
<i>"Smash 'em," huh?</i>

16:06.640 --> 16:10.470
<i>In that case, I think 
I'm still lacking in power.</i>

16:11.680 --> 16:15.600
<i>Entering that trancelike
 state was a total fluke.</i>

16:16.300 --> 16:18.810
<i>If I could use that on command...</i>

16:23.740 --> 16:24.770
Rin?

16:25.230 --> 16:26.940
Hey, it's break time.

16:26.940 --> 16:28.370
You should rest a little.

16:28.770 --> 16:32.280
Huh? If you're going to 
interfere, get out, Isagi.

16:32.280 --> 16:35.530
Yeah, but if you overdo it and get injured—

16:35.530 --> 16:40.040
If I do, that means I'm only at that level.

16:41.100 --> 16:45.110
At last, I get to play against 
my big bro. Against Itoshi Sae.

16:45.110 --> 16:47.940
I get to crush and surpass him.

16:49.110 --> 16:52.850
You have no idea how much 
I've longed for this moment.

17:02.560 --> 17:03.850
I don't need it.

17:04.210 --> 17:07.690
You get injured, Blue Lock's over.

17:08.240 --> 17:10.650
I'm telling you not to 
cause problems for me.

17:11.190 --> 17:12.030
Drink.

17:13.630 --> 17:14.290
Hmph.

17:18.390 --> 17:19.490
It's lukewarm.

17:19.910 --> 17:20.860
Can it.

17:24.770 --> 17:27.550
<i>I've never seen that look
 on Rin's face before.</i>

17:28.870 --> 17:31.640
<i>I want to win this match... with him.</i>

17:37.210 --> 17:39.890
Hello there, Team Blue Lock.

17:40.320 --> 17:43.360
Your training should have 
your bodies awake by now.

17:44.080 --> 17:47.480
So now, we need to wake up your brains.

17:47.790 --> 17:50.690
I'll teach you how to 
ignite a fire in your life,

17:51.010 --> 17:53.890
which is essential for becoming
 the best striker in the world.

17:55.530 --> 18:00.570
"Flow." It's a mentally absorbed state
 that can be obtained

18:00.570 --> 18:03.120
through personal optimal experiences.

18:03.470 --> 18:07.990
Regardless of their scale, human beings 
have moments when they're so focused,

18:07.990 --> 18:10.960
they even forget the passage of time.

18:11.210 --> 18:15.170
That state of enjoying whatever it is
and getting the brain all excited...

18:15.810 --> 18:17.710
That's "flow."

18:18.510 --> 18:19.510
Think back.

18:20.230 --> 18:25.470
To when you broke out of
your shells here at Blue Lock.

18:25.880 --> 18:29.480
To when you poured 
all you had into that one play.

18:30.350 --> 18:31.420
<i>Flow.</i>

18:31.760 --> 18:33.700
<i>It does ring a bell.</i>

18:35.290 --> 18:38.650
<i>If this "flow" is the key to 
reproducing that trancelike state...</i>

18:38.940 --> 18:42.620
So how do you get into this flow?

18:42.890 --> 18:47.830
The most important condition is 
concentrating on a daring challenge.

18:49.220 --> 18:55.370
To put it plainly, you have to aim 
for an objective of optimal difficulty.

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Mentally Absorbed State

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Balance
Between

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Challenge 
and Ability

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
State

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Difficulty of Challenge

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Your Ability

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Anxiety

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Boredom

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
High

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
High

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Low

18:55.900 --> 19:02.470
Low

18:56.830 --> 19:02.470
This image shows the balance between 
challenge and ability to get into a flow state.

19:02.860 --> 19:11.040
If your abilities exceed a given challenge, 
you won't feel joy and you'll get bored.

19:03.060 --> 19:20.240
High

19:03.060 --> 19:20.240
High

19:03.060 --> 19:20.240
Low

19:03.060 --> 19:20.240
Low

19:03.060 --> 19:20.240
Difficulty of Challenge

19:03.060 --> 19:20.240
Your Ability

19:03.350 --> 19:20.240
Balance Between 
Challenge and Ability

19:09.500 --> 19:11.750
Bored

19:11.040 --> 19:16.260
Conversely, if a given challenge 
exceeds your abilities,

19:16.600 --> 19:20.240
you can't see yourself succeeding
 and you become anxious.

19:18.630 --> 19:20.240
Anxious

19:20.880 --> 19:26.830
In short, you can't experience joy 
in a state of boredom or anxiety.

19:27.150 --> 19:30.170
That's why you need concentration 
for a daring challenge.

19:31.100 --> 19:33.440
Know Your Abilities

19:31.440 --> 19:33.670
Know your abilities precisely...

19:33.630 --> 19:35.420
Control Your Abilities

19:33.670 --> 19:35.090
and control them.

19:35.470 --> 19:38.420
Then, challenge yourself with a goal 
that's appropriate to you.

19:35.550 --> 19:38.420
Challenge Yourself With a Clear Goal

19:38.420 --> 19:43.270
In that moment, you will pull out
an exceptional performance,

19:43.270 --> 19:46.660
which will push you up to the next level.

19:47.330 --> 19:50.060
From the outside, 
it might look like a miracle.

19:50.060 --> 19:52.270
But there's a formula to it.

19:52.940 --> 19:54.900
And that's "flow."

19:57.530 --> 19:58.740
However...

19:59.910 --> 20:02.260
It's not easy to achieve.

20:03.650 --> 20:07.020
Your daily life is flooded with 
information and entertainment.

20:07.020 --> 20:10.700
It's an endless hell to cover up
 your boredom and anxiety.

20:10.960 --> 20:14.710
People can't get absorbed 
in something so easily.

20:15.050 --> 20:19.320
For example, you may passively get 
into a trancelike state on your phone.

20:19.320 --> 20:23.080
But that's not the flow state you 
actively achieve, available only to you.

20:23.520 --> 20:27.510
That cannot be classed as "ego" in my book.

20:27.860 --> 20:30.270
The thrill you feel when you score a goal.

20:30.770 --> 20:34.440
The exhilaration you feel 
when you gain a new weapon.

20:34.850 --> 20:38.110
That joy is something 
that belongs only to you.

20:39.690 --> 20:41.570
That's ego.

20:42.690 --> 20:47.390
Blue Lock's the place where you escape 
the diarrhea of that passive trancelike state,

20:47.390 --> 20:51.200
and only those who fully immerse 
themselves in soccer can survive.

20:51.200 --> 20:55.000
So remember, diamonds in the rough...

20:55.320 --> 20:59.020
the meaning of everything 
you've experienced in Blue Lock.

20:59.020 --> 21:02.090
Remember how you've all evolved.

21:02.690 --> 21:03.950
<i>I see.</i>

21:04.470 --> 21:11.810
<i>It's true that I became absorbed in 
my potential each time I grew stronger.</i>

21:13.380 --> 21:19.520
Now, does the goal of defeating 
Japan's U-20s make you feel...

21:20.180 --> 21:21.730
bored?

21:22.350 --> 21:23.760
Anxious?

21:24.190 --> 21:25.450
No.

21:26.480 --> 21:29.660
<i>It's a challenge I can immerse myself in.</i>

21:29.980 --> 21:31.420
You get it now, don't you?

21:31.750 --> 21:36.830
The door to defeating Japan's U-20s
 will only be opened

21:36.830 --> 21:42.670
when you, the Blue Lock XI, get into 
a flow state on the field on game day.

21:43.330 --> 21:47.930
<i>On that grand stage, 
I will find my unique flow.</i>

21:48.680 --> 21:50.970
Now, let's prepare.

21:50.970 --> 21:57.190
You're the new generation of egoists who 
will tear down Japanese soccer's status quo.

21:57.190 --> 21:59.290
The world's waiting for your goals.

22:01.650 --> 22:02.980
<i>I'll find it.</i>

22:04.590 --> 22:06.070
<i>The goal I can immerse myself in.</i>

22:08.800 --> 22:10.660
<i>The goal that only belongs to me!</i>

23:42.580 --> 23:45.020
Blue Lock Additional Time.

23:42.680 --> 23:43.350

I'm Niko Ikki, and I've been chosen for 
the Blue Lock XI to face Japan's U-20s.

23:50.760 --> 23:54.680
As defenders, let's communicate with each 
other in the game. Nice working with you.

Whatever my position may be,
I will be at the top of my glam.

23:59.370 --> 24:02.230
I've never played in goal before.

24:02.450 --> 24:04.540
I have confidence in my physical abilities.

24:04.940 --> 24:07.230
See? You can count on me.

24:07.230 --> 24:08.750
Uh-oh. Help.

24:08.750 --> 24:10.780
I'm glamming to your aid!

24:10.780 --> 24:13.610
<i>Oh, I see. We've got two airheads.</i>

24:14.180 --> 24:20.160
<i>With this type, the best way to build a 
rapport is to rely on sensibilities, not logic.</i>

24:20.690 --> 24:23.950
<i>To do that, I should gather
info on their preferences.</i>

24:24.570 --> 24:26.980
What do you two do on your days off?

24:27.640 --> 24:30.170
I'd like to get to know you both.

24:30.820 --> 24:32.600
I'm in the mountains.

24:32.600 --> 24:35.520
So I pick wild vegetables, sunbathe,

24:35.520 --> 24:37.780
and take on wild boars.

24:37.780 --> 24:42.900
I also sumo wrestle my bear friend, 
play Super Smash Bros., look for UFOs...

24:43.330 --> 24:45.190
<i>That second half made no sense.</i>

24:45.540 --> 24:48.460
I am usually found in pursuit
 of the ultimate glam.

24:47.710 --> 24:56.200
GLAM

24:48.460 --> 24:52.070
Feeling the universe, cherishing beauty,
 offering prayers to Buddha...

24:52.070 --> 24:54.830
When you empty your mind, 
even fire feels glam!

24:56.570 --> 24:58.950
<i>None of what he said makes sense.</i>

24:59.250 --> 25:01.640
<i>B-But I will not dismiss them.</i>

25:01.640 --> 25:05.870
W-Wow, very nice. 
I like how unique you both are.

25:06.150 --> 25:09.000
<i>Without dismissing them, 
be positive and compliment them.</i>

25:09.000 --> 25:12.300
<i>That's the best course of 
action to gain their trust.</i>

25:12.300 --> 25:15.470
So are you interested in pursuing
the way of glam with me?

25:15.470 --> 25:16.300
Huh?

25:16.300 --> 25:18.770
Let your universe manifest 
itself in your body!

25:18.770 --> 25:19.910
Like this!

25:19.070 --> 25:21.100
GLAM

25:19.070 --> 25:21.100
GLAM

25:21.100 --> 25:22.010
Like this?

25:22.010 --> 25:24.310
Yes. Very good, mountain man.

25:24.310 --> 25:25.820
L-Like this?

25:25.820 --> 25:28.520
Express the glam with your whole body!

25:28.520 --> 25:29.310
Like this!

25:29.120 --> 25:31.770
GLAM

25:31.770 --> 25:33.630
G-Glam!

25:34.000 --> 25:36.250
<i>Wait, am I having fun right now?</i>
