"God only gives us trials that we can overcome'. The inner myth that he kept on believing is just a step to complete destruction!!"
From the last chapter, Chris Prince stopped Yukimiya's solo shot with his "ultra cover block". With the ball falling on the touchline, the team who last touched the ball is penalized and possession is given to the opposite team.
Blue Lock Central Monitoring Room.
Anri and Ego are both watching the game. Anri said that it was a nice try for Yukimiya, getting past 6 people and almost scoring a goal but Chris is getting serious too. Ego said, "If you're gonna score, he must dodge those last 2, win a one-on-one with Chris Prince and, while he's at it, the DFS will come back. So, the chances of scoring a goal are almost zero." Ego added that he's glad that Chris stopped that goal because if it went in, the outcome would turn out to be as risky/uncertain as the previous goal scored. Anri asked what it is about Nagi's goal earlier that is risky/uncertain. Ego said, "that inhuman, shitty goal". But Anri bragged that Nagi's a talk all over social networking sites saying things such as "Nagi Seishiro is the best in the
world" or "That's the biggest goal of the century".
Ego: It was a goal that made me feel a sense of discomfort. Anri: Wait-what do you mean? A goal is a goal, right? This is a place to create strikers, so what's the point of that? Ego: There is no reproducibility at all. Nagi Seishiro's talent is
outstanding among humans but he is indeed "going too far"... If you succeed beyond your talent, you risk destroying yourself. From here. the depths of Nagi's "ego" will be tested.
With to Yukimiya, Ego said that it's a natural outcome. Right now with his strength alone, a goal is a miracle.
Ego: There is only one reason for Yukimiya Kenyuu's failure. He thinks too highly of himself (his self-esteem is too high). Anri: But, as a striker, isn't it only natural to have self-confidence? Ego: There is a difference between "confidence" and "fanaticism". Anri-chan.
What that idiot is trying to do now is just trying to amuse himself to believe in a story in which he is the main character. Success does not come to those who get intoxicated by their own stories.
Ego: Do you know why "Blue Lock" was created? It's my story of creating the best striker in the world and Anri-chan's story of winning the World Cup. Its also the story of the Japanese soccer fans who want to see that happen. And the story of the unpolished gems who are here. All of them intersect. Success lies at the intersection of the story of one's self and others- don't be elated by yourself, don't be frightened of the world. Now, what will you do, unpolished gems... Let me see you put together a success story about falling on the field.
Isagi approached Yukimiya on the field.
Isagi: Oi Yukimiya! Are you crazy? You gotta be kidding me. It you
hadn't intercepted it, I would have scored! Are you stupid? Well, 1 admit it was close but Chris got lucky being there. Let's change the way we fight! Work with me. It's the most rational and beneficial choice for both of us. With me at the center, Kurona on the right, and you on the left, if you support me, we can build up to the goal much more. But they've already seen your shot once, so they'll be on guard next time. so in this game you gotta pretend and assist me.
Isagi added that their combination will probably work out because no one will be on the lookout for it. Then he will get a goal and Yuki will get an assist: a win-win for them. For Isagi, that was the most probable and realistic choice for them. However...
Yukimiya: Shut up with your rambling. Things like realistic and
probably, I don't live like a cunning person like you. I'm gonna "die"
with my goal in mind. I'm gonna get through this.
Isagi is now triggered, angrily replying to Yukimiya.
Isagi: No matter what you say. Chris, Noa, Kaiser, even I am here! This is not the kind of world where your selfish story can prevail! You can't be so stubborn, it'll just end like this! Are you fine with that? I don't see how fighting with me is good for either of us.
Yukimiya: By doing so, you feed off other people's stories. All you think about in the end is being the best, right? finally got it. You're an asshole who wants to show off your superiority just like Kaiser. If only cunning people like you wouldn't be rewarded. This world is wrong!
Isagi went silent for a while then said...
Isagi: In this situation, how can you be so childish? Isagi: Same here. I don't wanna live in the same world with a
Yukimiya: Huh?
self-conscious jerk like you, Go sink with your pleasant dreams by yourself, you mud boat.
