3. Soccer's "Zero"The first selection is the round-robin tournament of five teams of V, W, X, Y and Z in Building Five, with only top two teams being eligible to move forward. Isagi's Team Z, the lowest ranking team, plays against Team X. But because of the special rule that allows the top scorer of the team to proceed to the next section, the match turns into chaotic scrambling for the ball, regardless of the teams.

Responding to Ego's urge to "take up a weapon," the players discuss what their weapons are in preparation for the next match. However, Isagi struggles to identify what it is. Using "the smell of the goal" he felt in the game against Team X as a hint, Isagi and the others go against Team Y in the next match.TV-14CC23minOct 30, 2022
5. To Be RebornIsagi relies on "the smell of the goal," his raw instincts, to make a move, and it leads to the fierce battle of "reading" each other's hand with Team Y's playmaker, Niko Ikki.

6. I'm SorryAfter the match with Team Y, Isagi's rank moved up, and he became the center of the team. The next match is against Team W, led by the Wanima twins. Their eye contact and impeccable combinations are hard to beat. They used to play in the same team as Chigiri Hyoma, and they use his past trauma to egg him on.

Everyone's elated for the good start of the match, but Isagi feels something is off.TV-14CC23minNov 13, 2022
7. RushBecause of Kuon’s betrayal, Team Z is faced with a desperate situation of playing 12-on-10, with the opponent knowing everything about their weapons and strategies.

10. Just the Way It IsEach player unleashed their weapon and ego, and Team Z has caught up to a draw. They totally have the momentum of the game, but that has “awakened” Team V’s monster, Nagi.

12. The Second SelectionWith many dropouts, the "Blue Lock" project enters the second selection.

Seeking further evolution, Isagi's fight advances to a new stage.TV-14CC24minDec 25, 2022

Will they be able to win this match?TV-14CC25minJan 8, 2023
14. The Geniuses and the Average JoesThe loss of Bachira on his team makes Isagi very anxious about what his future with Nagi will be like.

So what are Isagi and Nagi going to do?TV-14CC24minJan 15, 2023
15. DevourIsagi realizes that the conclusion of the match is in his and Naruhaya's hands. However, how will he go about beating Naruhaya? This will be a game that will not depend on genius players, but on "mediocre" players.TV-14CC24minJan 22, 2023

19. Dancing BoyIsagi and his friends barely manage to win as Barou awakens as the "villain" of the field. In order to cause a further "chemical reaction", they take away the only player who showed their ego to "eat" themselves and advance to the force stage.
