The episode titled “The World You Feel”began with Hiyori delivering a cross into the opponent’s penalty area.

As Rin prepared to control the ball, Shidou intercepted, leading to both players nearly losing possession. Chigiri then claimed the ball, passing it to Karasu, who successfully scored the fourth goal for Team B, putting the score at 2-4.

With Team B just one goal away from victory, tensions escalated between Rin and Shidou, prompting Isagi to strategize on how to prevent defeat in the opening game of the Final Selection Round. Recognizing the friction between Rin and Shidou as a hurdle, Isagi resolved to act as a bridge between them.

As the game resumed, Hiyori restarted play by passing to Nanase. Isagi veered towards the side, signaling for a pass, while Karasu created difficulties. Communicating through subtle gestures, Isagi managed to receive the ball from Nanase, outsmarting Karasu. With Shidou in view, Isagi devised a plan.

He directed the ball to Shidou, who skillfully converted the assist into a goal, narrowing the score to 3-4. This turn of events surprised everyone, particularly Isagi, who had anticipated scoring himself. Expressing gratitude towards Nanase’s assist, Isagi remained alert, mindful of Team B aiming for another goal.

In a twist, during episode 3, Karasu attempted to unsettle Isagi but was met by Rin, who quickly handled the situation. As Karasu defended against Rin, Isagi seized the opportunity from the shadows and snatched the ball. With the potential for a goal arising from their “chemistry,”Isagi cleverly utilized Shidou as bait.

He delivered the ball to Hiyori and sprinted towards the penalty area where Shidou awaited. However, the pass unexpectedly veered towards Isagi, who dove to score but came up just short, allowing Chigiri to gain possession and pass to Karasu.

Rin, marking Karasu, noticed the potential play and capitalized, finding the opportunity to shoot and equalize the score at 4-4. Now under pressure, Isagi pondered how to assist his teammates in securing the final win.

The match in Blue Lock season 2 episode 3 resumed with Karasu leading the kickoff. Prior to this restart, Hiyori urged Isagi to trust his instincts and not overanalyze the situation. As play resumed, Karasu made a slick pass to Chigiri, causing Team A to panic.

However, Shidou intercepted the ball, which subsequently found Nanase’s feet. Determined to assist Isagi, Nanase delivered a through-ball. Fortunately, it reached Isagi, who remained influenced by Hiyori’s earlier words. Isagi then relayed the ball to Hiyori, setting him up for an easy pass to either Shidou or Rin to secure the win for Team A.

Reflecting on his role as a backup for Shidou or Rin for a guaranteed victory, Isagi realized this mindset was counterproductive. Instead, he resolved to embrace his instincts.

As Hiyori’s pass flowed into the penalty area, Isagi leaped ahead of both Shidou and Rin, scoring the decisive goal for Team A, setting the final score at 5-4 against Team B.

This spectacular goal astonished Rin, Shidou, and everyone else present, while Ego Jinpachi acknowledged Isagi’s evolution, praising his performance as a ‘foot in the mechanism of a miracle.’ This moment served as the climax of Blue Lock season 2 episode 3.
