Blue Lock: Isagi’s Strongest Duo Revealed, and It’s Not with Nagi or Rin

The concept of a dominant Blue Lock pair is not easily determined due to the self-centered nature of each player in the series, making the idea of a “duo”nonsensical.

However, to the surprise of fans, a strong duo has been hinted at, consisting of two players who are opposites: Kaiser and Isagi, likened to fire and water. In a recent chapter, as the Bastard Muchen team was getting ready for their ultimate game, they took to social media to gauge the reactions of their performance from their followers.

Upon opening his social media, Hiori came across a comment proclaiming Isagi and Kaiser to be the top striker duo in the Neo Egoist League, as long as they could resolve their conflicts. Although Isagi was angered by this statement, it held some truth in light of the series’ focus on showcasing the true essence of soccer.

Please note: The following article includes the author’s opinion and may contain spoilers from the Blue Lock manga series.

In chapter 241, following Ubers’ defeat against Bastard Muchen, the opposing soccer club took a moment to unwind before their upcoming match against PXG. They were determined to improve their performance and make a strong impression on the higher-ups of the Neo-Egoist League, and thus spent time analyzing the strategies of other clubs.

Despite everyone being occupied with their own tasks, Yukimura asked for Hiyori’s help in the previous game, which ultimately contributed to Bastard Muchen’s victory against Ubers. While Hiyori acknowledged the uniqueness of his passes, he also made it clear that he would not hesitate to replace any player who could not anticipate and utilize his passes effectively.

This sparked a conversation about Isagi being ‘roasted’ on the internet, causing confusion as they had just achieved a nail-biting victory against Ubers. As Hiyori opened his tablet, the group was met with comments declaring Isagi as the future of Bastard Muchen.

However, what caught everyone’s attention was the anticipated collaboration between Isagi and his rival and teammate, Micheal Kaiser. Commenters speculated that if the two were to reconcile, they could potentially form the most formidable duo in Blue Lock. Hiyori added to the conversation by mentioning the growing trend of referring to the pair as “Kaisagi,”further provoking Isagi’s fury.

On the pitch, Isagi Yoichi and Micheal Kaiser are both members of Bastard Muchen’s forward line. Isagi primarily plays on the wing, but he is also capable of playing as a striker. On the other hand, Kaiser is a dedicated striker, which gives him more opportunities to find the back of the net.

As observed in the comments on social media, the main obstacle preventing them from collaborating is their egos. It is understandable that Isagi would be upset when people label him and Kaiser as the strongest Blue Lock duo, but if they were able to put aside their arrogance, they could truly become the strongest duo in Blue Lock.

Concluding Remarks

Despite the expectations of some fans, it is not uncommon to find ‘ego’ present in real soccer, particularly in today’s game where players are fixated on scoring goals. This has had a significant impact on the traditional ‘winger’ role, as the demand for playmakers continues to decrease. While Isagi and Kaiser’s partnership as winger and striker has potential, their egos may hinder their success on the field. Unfortunately, the underlying issue is not easily resolved.

Just like real-life soccer stars Lionel Messi and Ronaldo, the duo in the series could also be seen as the best players in the world, and fans have always hoped to witness them playing alongside each other. However, it is important to remember that the Isagi-Kaiser duo is a work of fiction.
