The air in Blue Lock tastes of sweat and raw ambition. The camera sweeps across Team Z’s lineup: Isagi Yoichi, Kuon, Bachira Meguru, Kunigami, Igaguri, Chigiri, Lemon, Gagamaru, Naruhya, Raichi—their ratings flickering from A- to B+. You stand among them, a B+ candidate facing the crucible. Opposite, Team X forms up, led by Barou Shoei, whose smirk promises domination. The whistle screams. Barou takes the first touch, the ball a prisoner beneath his control as he advances. The match against the looming U-20 threat has begun. Will you endure the first selection, or will your career be buried here?
