The second round of the Blue Lock anime has ended, and the third round of qualifying is set to begin. With the second round completed, the number of strikers has been reduced significantly. Out of the original 300 strikers, only seven teams remain, each consisting of five players.
In other words, only five players have advanced from the second round, and a total of 265 strikers were eliminated. The remaining strikers will continue to face elimination until only the strongest, most skilled, and most agile players are left standing.
What makes the remaining 35 strikers in Blue Lock interesting is that some of them were initially placed in the last position. Yoichi Isagi, Meguru Bachira and Chigiri Hyoma were three players initially placed in group z, the group with the lowest ranking. Yoichi Isagi, in particular, was ranked 299 out of 300 strikers.
Despite his initial ranking, Yoichi Isagi was determined not to lose and continued to improve his skills and discipline in training. Through sheer hard work and dedication, he slowly climbed up the rankings and eliminated players who were ranked higher than him.
Yoichi Isagi’s journey to success was not done alone. He was able to constantly evolve his skills with the help of his friends, including Bachira and Chigiri. Bachira always supported Yoichi by dribbling the ball to him, and they became a cohesive partnership on and off the field.
Chigiri, on the other hand, had to overcome a knee injury from the past. Meeting Yoichi gave him the confidence to overcome his fear and become the fastest player in the Blue Lock, becoming a reliable support for Isagi. However, Blue Lock’s system didn’t allow for a supporting player, and both Bachira and Chigiri eventually became main players like Yoichi.
Yoichi Isagi, Bachira and Chigiri’s journey of self-improvement and evolution allowed them to have a strong endurance to withstand the game’s demands and to reach the top 35 despite their initial low rankings.
