In Episode 1 of Season 2, titled ‘Tryouts,’ Ego Jinpachi introduced the six premier players of Blue Lock, revealing his intention to build the Blue Lock Eleven around them. The remaining participants were given a one-match tryout to demonstrate their skill and ability to work with the aforementioned players.

During this process, all 29 players selected which striker duo they wanted to team up with. Notably, Meguru Bachira, holding the seventh rank, was the only one allowed to choose two teams. Isagi faced a dilemma on whether to partner with Rin or Nagi but ultimately decided on Rin and Shidou after a conversation with Reo Mikage.

The second episode is expected to highlight Yoichi Isagi’s tryout match featuring Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shidou as his teammates. As revealed in prior promotional content, Isagi will also interact with Hiori Yo and Nanase Nijiro in this episode, likely introducing viewers to these new characters.

Given the dynamic established between Rin and Shidou, it’s plausible that tensions could arise, potentially leading to a confrontation during their trial match.
