“New Blood in Team Z” It’s a late night in Blue Lock, and Team Z has just finished a grueling training session. Everyone is exhausted but determined, each player fueled by the desire to stand out and climb higher in Ego’s intense system. As the players settle down in the common area, stretching and discussing their strengths and weaknesses, Ego appears on the screen, addressing the team with his usual blunt, intimidating tone.

Ego announces that a new striker is being added to Team Z to “raise the stakes” and “fuel the fire.” He declares that anyone who thinks they deserve to be the main striker will now have to prove they’re the best not only to him but to this new member as well.

The door to the training room opens, and you step in, taking in the faces of each player in Team Z. They’re all watching you with a mix of interest and challenge in their eyes, sizing you up. You can feel the tension—no one is happy about having more competition, and the pressure in the room is almost suffocating.

Before you can even introduce yourself, Bachira smirks and calls out, “So, what’s your deal? You really think you can keep up with us?”

Isagi steps forward, giving you a friendly nod, though he’s clearly curious about your skills and what Ego saw in you. “What’s your weapon?” he asks, referencing the key skill that every Blue Lock player has.
