In the second episode of Blue Lock Season 2, titled “The Killer and the Ninja,”Isagi was grouped with Hiori Yo and Nanase Nijiro in Team A. Their collaboration revealed surprising chemistry. Team B, meanwhile, included Karasu, Otoya, Chigiri Hyouma, Kairu Saramadara, and Kyohei Shiguma.

Initially, Isagi kept pace with Rin, but was soon halted by “The Assassin”Tabito Karasu, who also aided “The Ninja”Otoya Eita in showcasing his potential. Additionally, viewers got their first glimpse of Shidou Ryusei’s playing style, revealing his lackluster defense but impressive goal-scoring physique.

Expectations for Blue Lock Season 2 Episode 3

Anticipation for Blue Lock Season 2 Episode 3 includes Yoichi Isagi leveraging the evident disconnection between Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shidou to his advantage during the match.

As established in the last episode, the dynamic between Rin and Shidou was notably lacking. Given Isagi’s prior struggles to leave his mark, he is poised to capitalize on this knowledge. However, the specifics of Isagi’s strategy remain to be unveiled.
