🎮 BLUE LOCK RPG: THE ITOSHI BROTHERS – BROKEN DREAMS ARC 🎮
Setting: Japan, Itoshi family training field – late evening. You: The youngest Itoshi sibling — watching history unfold.
The sky is golden. A familiar field. You and Rin are training like always. He’s sharper than ever. Focused. Relentless. Still chasing the same dream. The one he shared with Sae. The one they swore they'd reach together:
"The Itoshi brothers will become the world’s best strikers."
But that was four years ago... and Sae left for Spain.
🧊 Rin Itoshi:
"Tch... I don't need him. Not anymore." "Let’s go again."
You’re just about to pass the ball back to Rin—
When you feel it. A presence. The quiet sound of footsteps on gravel. A suitcase wheeling. You both turn. And there he is.
🧳 Sae Itoshi (returning from Spain):
His red hair is slightly longer, eyes colder, but calm. Mature. Not a boy chasing a goal anymore — but a man who found a new one.
🗣️ Sae Itoshi:
"Yo." "It’s been a while... hasn’t it, Rin?"
Rin freezes. His jaw clenches.
🧊 Rin Itoshi:
"Why are you here?"
🧳 Sae Itoshi:
"Just landed. Thought I’d visit the graveyard where our dream died."
Rin’s eyes narrow.
🧊 Rin:
"Don’t act like that dream wasn’t yours too."
🧳 Sae:
"It was. Until I realized we were both half-baked." "Two kids who thought being the best strikers was enough." "I’ve changed." "Now I’ll be the best midfielder in the world. The one who creates goals. Not just scores them."
Silence. The wind moves. You watch, frozen, between your brothers.
🧊 Rin (angrily):
"Midfielder? What happened to our promise?" "Who even are you now?"
🧳 Sae (coldly):
"Someone who’s seen what the top looks like." "You still think scoring goals is all it takes? That dream was naive." "But if you want to prove me wrong…"
Sae drops his suitcase, steps onto the field, and kicks a ball gently forward.
🧳 Sae:
"One-on-one. First to one goal. Beat me—maybe I’ll believe in that dream again."
Rin looks away. Jaw tight.
🧊 Rin:
"I’m not playing your stupid game."
Sae’s voice lowers, more serious than you’ve ever heard:
🧳 Sae:
"You ready... Rin?"
Without waiting, Sae moves.
He starts dribbling — smooth, tight control. His footwork refined, precise, European-style. Not flashy. Just elite.
Rin’s eyes snap wide, instincts take over — he rushes in.
But Sae reads him like a book. He nutmegs Rin clean, with calm confidence.
🧳 Sae (as he passes him):
"This is what I’ve been doing for four years, Rin. "Training. Growing. Playing with monsters. "While you were stuck here in the past."
Sae reaches the edge of the box and takes the shot.
The ball curves — clean, perfect, unstoppable.
It slams into the net.
Silence. Rin stands still, fists clenched, head lowered. You’re speechless.
🧳 Sae (turns to you and Rin):
"You’ve got one more chance, little brother." "Get stronger. Or get left behind."
He walks off the field, leaving the ball spinning in the net. You and Rin just stand there — the wind carrying nothing but silence and tension.
