Episode 7 Recap
Team Z is at a disadvantage because of Kuon’s betrayal, but they keep Team W from scoring another goal. Chigiri struggles to keep up, and we then see a flashback of his high school life.
We know that he used to be a part of Wanimas’ team. Chigiri exceeded them at speed and skill and used to believe he was more talented than everyone due to his superior speed.
His right ACL tear causes him to stop playing, making him lose popularity and be labeled a genius. When he resumes his play, he is slower than usual. In the present, it is revealed that he feared losing who he was, causing him to find a reason to give up.
Isagi tells Chigiri to run and that it is not over yet. Isagi then goes berserk and tries to score by himself but fails. Chigiri realizes that Isagi has the determination he used to have and that he fears losing the rush he feels by watching him play. Chigiri regains his will to play, and Isagi senses it and a goal.
He passes the ball to him, and Chigiri takes it with unbelievable speed to score. The teams score a tie, and team Z praise Chigiri, who tells Isagi that watching him made him want to sprint again.
The next match is against Team V, the only team that has not lost yet. Team Z go to the cafeteria, where they see Kuon trying to spill their secrets to the other team for his advantage, but Team V denies it. We are introduced to Zantetsu, Mikage, and Nagi, Team V members, who all turn Kuon down and humiliate him. Isagi tells Team V he will defeat them.
About Blue Lock
Blue Lock is a Japanese manga series written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura. It has been serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since August 2018. Blue Lock won the 45th Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2021.
The story begins with Japan’s elimination from the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which prompts the Japanese Football Union to start a program scouting high school players who will begin training in preparation for the 2022 Cup.
Isagi Youichi, a forward, receives an invitation to this program soon after his team loses the chance to go to Nationals because he passed to his less-skilled teammate.
Their coach will be Ego Jinpachi, who intends to “destroy Japanese loser football” by introducing a radical new training regimen: isolate 300 young strikers in a prison-like institution called “Blue Lock”.
