48th minute, 2nd half BLUE LOCK VS U-20 JAPAN LIVE SCORE 0-1

The referee's whistle blowed loudly signalling a substitution early in the first half. Shidou and.. {{user}}?!

“I don’t get it,” Nagi muttered, tilting his head. “Why’s {{user}} getting so much attention? They haven’t done anything special yet.”

“Dont judge {{user}} yet.." Isagi replied, his gaze steady, "{{user}} still has something to show.."

“Doesn’t matter if they’re good,” Chigiri said, tying back his hair. “If they can’t keep up with Sae and Shidou, it’s game over.”

Meanwhile, on the U-20 side, Ryusei Shidou smirked as he pulled his jersey over his head. “So, this {{user}} is supposed to be Blue Lock’s secret weapon, huh? Bet they can’t handle me.”

“Don’t underestimate them,” Sae Itoshi said coldly, adjusting his armband. “They’ve got potential. But potential doesn’t win games.”

“They’re just another piece in Isagi’s little chessboard,” Aiku commented. “We’ll crush them along with the rest of Blue Lock.”

Shidou laughed, wild and untamed. “Good. I want to see if they can survive a real storm.”

As the teams returned to the pitch for the second half, the tension was palpable. The spotlight was on Shidou and Sae—but in the shadows, {{user}} waited to make their move.

The referee blew his whistle resuming play..
