They understand one another's weapons, and by bringing out each other's abilities,
they've achieved a tri-fusion on a higher plane
that even surpasses geniuses like Barou and Nagi!
Their team is strong.
Their attack and defense are high level and well-balanced,
meaning they have no weaknesses.
And yet, I can't wait to test this new and improved version of myself against them,
and find out how well my team's new chemical reactions work.
Let's go.
I'm always ready.
Don't order me around.
Episode 17
Donkey
Blind spots and off the ball.
I'm going to fuse these pieces with my spatial awareness.
This is my new field vision.
My own team, my opponents... I'll take note of where everyone's looking.
I can see each player's movements more clearly and precisely than before.
My mind is flooded with images and possible routes to goal!
Barou!
Hey, over here, Reo.
He's gonna shift his weight to turn and face me, so I'll go the other way!
I dodged past him. Now I have a clear run at goal!
Now. Pass it, Barou!
Seriously? He's ignoring me?
The Go-It-Alone King. Even for you...
that was too forced!
Oh, man. I'll take care of Chigiri.
Don't let Reo get the ball!
I know that, but...
This is bad. If we give Kunigami the freedom to hit his mid-range shot,
he'll fire it past all of us.
That's in.
Hell yeah!
Nice shot, Kunigami!
Damn. They're crazy strong.
Hey, Barou.
Cut it out already.
Huh?
Isagi was totally free back there.
Why didn't you pass to him?
Shut up.
Why would I pass it to someone else so they can score?
Are you dense? It doesn't matter if we don't win.
Yeah, off my goals.
You two need to move so I can score.
Stop it, you two!
I'll be the passer for now.
Then, pass it to me next.
No, to me.
Those two can't coordinate.
I have to control this team.
I need to re-input the pieces to find chemical reactions with Nagi and Barou.
I need to update my vision of the field.
I need to lead this team...
toward the goal!
Seriously?
Even if I pass it to Barou,
all routes to goal are stone dead.
As things stand, there can be no chemical reaction with Barou.
Then, what are my passing options to Nagi?
The images of potential goals are endless!
Nagi's on the move, so he can score if I pass to him.
I've evolved to the level where I can sense Nagi's off-the-ball movements.
Let's do this, Nagi.
There, right?
That's got some pace on it. You trying to compete with me?
Do you know something? No matter how fast you are...
humans are unable...
to suddenly go backward.
What?
Amazing!
Chigiri came in at top speed, but Nagi controlled it the other way,
and created a path to shoot.
Nagi's play went beyond my vision.
This is...
the chemical reaction between Nagi and me!
Nagi Seishiro
Isagi Yoichi
That's one back.
Is he a monster or what?
For real?
He's reached a new level since last time, hasn't he?
Nice pass, Isagi.
Let's just play and win with the two of us.
Yeah.
No, wait. We're barely holding our own against them.
The missing piece is the chemical reaction with Barou.
That'll be the key to winning this game!
Hey, Barou. Listen for a second.
The way things are now, I'm not getting that goal smell from you.
Your play needs to allow Nagi and me the chance to score.
Only then can we start to make the most of each other's play.
I can't create a chemical reaction alone.
How many times do I have to tell you this, you donkey?
I'll win through my goals.
I'd rather die than play for someone else.
Even so...
You passing to me could create more options for us, right?
And that might let you score more.
"Might" isn't good enough.
"I win how I please." All other options get overruled.
And I'm saying we'll lose if we stick to that.
Totally fine by me. If I have to change my core principle, I'd rather lose.
Why can't you see your way of thinking is wrecking your potential?!
You're better than this.
I teamed up with you because I knew you could be so much more!
At this rate, your career ends here.
Hey...
Watch your mouth, donkey.
With my talents, how am I not winning?
The one who's most frustrated with me...
is obviously me, damn it.
To hell with your "chemical reaction."
To hell with "making the most of each other's play."
That's the type of soccer you want to play.
It makes me wanna puke.
"Do what I tell you."
That's all I'm hearing, donkey.
Both of us are egoists, after all.
We can only live the way we see fit.
Don't think for a second that you can control me.
Well, you said your piece.
Don't get hung up on Barou. We can win with just the two of us.
Yeah. You're right.
Damn it. Why am I so hung up on Barou?
To win this game?
Or is it because I find Barou's irritating situation such a waste?
How can I create a chemical reaction with Barou?
But he's got some nerve.
He's still behaving like a king when "his way" obviously isn't working.
Huh?
If you never admit defeat, you'll never know true frustration.
Hey, Isagi Yoichi.
I don't get it.
Why would Nagi choose a guy like you?
Seriously, what's with this guy? He's really annoying.
Who cares? Are you saying you have some amazing talent I don't?
I... I don't have any special weapons like you, Chigiri, and Kunigami.
That's why, in this match, I'm only thinking about winning!
That move was immense!
He may not have Chigiri's speed or Kunigami's physicality,
but you need more than just average skills to stop him.
Isagi Yoichi, I'm going to deny you by winning this game.
Let's go, Reo.
Damn it.
Crap. They're ripping us apart.
No doubt about it, Reo's the core of this team.
He's using Chigiri's weapon on his right and Kunigami's weapon on his left
as a utility player who's balancing offense with defense.
Speed
If Chigiri and Kunigami are players with specialized skills,
Speed
Reo is a player who excels in every area.
Physical
Speed
Technique
Tactics
Power
His flawless, versatile style is his essence.
Chigiri!
No more getting by me.
Bring it on, Red Guy.
Hey now. Don't go lumping me in with your selfish king.
Huh?
Outrunning people isn't my only skill!
He centered it?
I hafta stop him!
I'll get in front of Reo—
Outta my way!
Yeah!
A perfectly balanced tri-fusion.
They're ridiculously strong!
Maybe it's time to give up on Barou?
Then, maybe I should start thinking how to win with just Nagi and me.
No, that won't work. I'm not getting any images of how we can do that.
We'll score one or two, but still end up losing.
Think!
How do we come back and win from here?
You're a genius of adaptability.
Does adaptability mean getting stronger to match the strength of the opponent?
I see. It's not about making the most of his play.
I've got to... devour Barou!
I was wrong.
I thought if I tried to fit Barou's style, he'd respond.
But...
Don't think for a second that you can control me.
That's controlling someone and expecting them to change.
That's not adaptability.
I'm not playing soccer to change for someone.
I'm here to win.
It's because you're not afraid to change.
Off the ball
Direct Shot
Spatial Awareness
I have to change the way I use my talent to win.
Off the ball
Direct Shot
Spatial Awareness
Off the ball
Direct Shot
Spatial Awareness
Don't rely on Barou. Don't think about making the most of his play.
But by devouring his play, I will dominate this field!
Nagi, you and I are going to win this.
Oh, you finally caught on?
Just keep your eyes on me.
Yes, sir.
The score is 1-3.
We have to score the next goal.
Given how the match has gone so far, the other team are wary of Nagi.
Reo is man-marking me to stop me from passing to Nagi.
Even if one does get through,
they've positioned themselves so they can outnumber him.
Kunigami's marking of Barou obviously isn't tight.
But Kunigami knows that's all he needs to do to shut down Barou.
Barou's been useless in the game up to this point.
And that's the shared understanding on this field right now.
In fact, the routes to Nagi are getting fewer and narrower than before.
In that case...
I'll choose Barou!
He's dribbling instead of passing?
Isagi?
Good call, donkey.
Time to move, King.
Beg for a pass from me!
Crap! I won't let you!
That's right, Kunigami.
Get dragged away by Barou's charge.
My target is the genius behind him.
It's yours, Nagi!
Seriously?
He got me.
This guy...
He dribbled like he was going to pass to Barou,
but it was a ruse to divert attention away from Nagi and create a path for him.
Nice, Isagi.
Oh no you don't!
Don't fall for it! Nagi will evade you with his takedown!
Rats.
I thought I'd drawn you out.
Man, close one. That's some honey trap.
Nice work, missy!
We'll double up on him!
You're powerless when you're stationary.
Pass to me!
Over here, Mr. Hassle Man!
Barou.
Like I said, I won't let you!
Nice, Kunigami!
Chigiri and I will stop Nagi!
Oh.
I see you.
Everyone's focused on what I'm doing.
And in the space only I can see...
You were waiting for the right moment to cut through the darkness...
and emerge from the blind spot!
I kept my eyes on you.
Huh?
What?
Seriously? Was all of this...
Was it all so Isagi could get himself in on goal?
So this guy...
was a decoy!
No matter how much you knock on the door to someone's heart, you can't change them.
So it's always you who has to change.
If you want to change the world that isn't following your plan,
that's the only way to make it happen.
If I can't see the light that leads to the goal,
then I need to become the light!
Watch me, Barou!
I'm going to adapt to you!
The darkness on the field you created...
I will devour it...
and turn it into light!
Yeah!
This guy used me...
to score the goal himself!
Damn, Isagi.
Did he see everything?
This is Isagi Yoichi.
The egoist Nagi Seishiro is chasing after.
Now, time for a comeback.
Yeah.
And Barou, you just keep playing the way you are.
Don't drag us down.
Huh?
I'm saying don't get in our way...
you donkey.
Who is he calling "donkey"?
I'll kill him.
I'm going to prove to you...
that the king on this field is me!
His whole aura has changed now.
What exactly is he seeing?
Since I have no idea, it'd be risky to go all-in against him.
They know that, too, and they're wary of what Isagi might do, so they're waiting for a pass.
I shouldn't be the guy setting this one up.
Okay.
This is the link-up play we practiced.
And straight to Kunigami!
Got it.
If the ball won't come to me, I'll go to the ball!
Seeing you this desperate is a rare sight, King.
This is a physical battle, and I'm gonna win it!
Just you watch.
It's my ball!
Pass it, Barou! We can counter!
Screw you! This one's mine!
Why don't you listen to the common folk every now and then, King?
What he said!
I lost it again? Damn it.
I'll go again...
Wait, what's he doing there?
No way.
Did he take up that position knowing that would happen when Barou won the ball?
Isagi's evolving at an incredible speed.
I refuse to get left behind!
A pass? How calm can you get?
Thanks for this.
Good. We've caught up.
He's reading all of our moves?
Right now, this field is...
...totally being dominated by these guys!
We'll lose if we don't do something.
If we just keep relying on our weapons, they'll read us and shut us down!
Go, Chigiri!
Like Nagi said, my weakness is the moment I control the ball.
I know how to stop you, miss.
No matter how fast I run, I slow up when I take down the ball.
He's aiming to use that to block my path.
In that case...
it's all or nothing!
This first touch...
will propel the ball forward without stopping it!
It works! I can maintain top speed and let the ball run ahead of me at the same pace.
This is my "no slowing" dribbling!
Just try and stop me, Barou.
I'm not like you.
I'll draw him into the realm of my top speed. That's my new technique!
Me and my speed...
You can't dominate us!
Yeah!
Did he just evolve?
This is awesome.
An egoist who gets buried before us...
can't possibly become the world's best striker, right?

Raichi Jingo
Another Team of Three
It took me ages to clear that stage.
Who should I team up with?
Oh, Raichi.
Gagamaru Gin
No one's here. Seems like everyone moved on already.
Glare
Like Naruhaya. And Naruhaya.
I wouldn't team with him anyway, so it's whatever.
Glare
So are you the only one left?
Glare
I'd love to team up with, like, Nagi or Isagi.
Glare
By the way...
You're so annoying, Big Bro Wanima!
Wanima Junichi
Glare
What the hell do you want, huh?!
Wanima Junichi

Oh, I see.
Your little brother used to interpret for you.
Let's try to decipher what he's trying to say.
Read the facial expression of Wanima (Big bro)!
Glare
Where can I get sushi?

Glare
Where can I find samurai?
-
He's not some tourist from overseas.
I couldn't care less about that other traitor.
Bet he's complaining about something.
Wrong!
Hold up!
Flinch
He talked normally!
Listen to me, you two.
Raichi Jingo!
First of all, I love how hard you are to shake off.
Not everyone can pull that off at this level.
Despite your rough playstyle, your insight and persistence shine through.
It's no exaggeration to say your qualities are why your team survived.
And Gagamaru Gin!
Your totally unexpected and original plays make you a one-of-a-kind.
It might look like you're doing stuff randomly,
but you pick the optimal choice, backed by your flexible yet strong physical abilities,
and that captured my heart!
I can't help but feel we would be a good match!
Therefore, we should team up.
Wow. You think so?
Hmph. If you insist.
