BLUE LOCK CHAPTER 20: BOILING

BOILING

The Final Countdown

The roar of the game filled the air. Players collided on the field with intensity, each one giving their all. The tension was thick. “ONE MORE TIME!” someone shouted. “LET’S GO, ISAGI!” the voice rang out over the chaos. But the battle was far from over.

“EVERYBODY ON THE ATTACK!!” the command echoed. As Kunigami and Raichi pushed forward, the players of Team W were relentless. It was a fight to the finish. The scoreboard flashed—TEAM W 4 – TEAM Z 3—and time was running out.

Victory In Sight?

With only seconds ticking away, the air was electric. “WE KNOW ALL YOUR WEAPONS AND ATTACK PATTERNS!” someone from Team W called out. “IT’S GONNA BE THE SAME NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TRY!”

The game was slipping away from Team Z. The clock showed 45 seconds, and the situation was dire. “WE’RE TAKING THIS WITH 4-3, TEAM W!!”

But on the field, a storm was brewing in the minds of Team Z’s players. Isagi, feeling the weight of it all, shouted to his team. The gap was closing, and the end felt near. Was there hope left?

A Frantic Plan

Isagi was in the midst of it, thinking, plotting, trying to find a way. “NOTHING’S GONNA HAPPEN UNLESS SOMEONE CAN BREAK THROUGH THEIR DEFENSE!!” His mind raced as he weighed his options. He could pass to Gagamaru, but they were being suffocated by their opponents. “THEY’LL JUST TURN US BACK WITH THEIR GREATER NUMBERS!!” Isagi’s frustration grew.

He needed a plan. A spark of genius. A flash of brilliance. But what could they do with so little time?

“COME ON… THINK OF SOMETHING!” he urged himself. The clock was ticking, and Team Z’s weapons seemed useless. They were locked in a corner.

Desperation Sets In

Isagi’s heart pounded as he faced a harsh reality. He turned to Kuon, desperately trying to find a solution. “WAIT, ISAGI-KUN… DON’T TELL ME YOU STILL HAVEN’T GIVEN UP?!” Kuon’s voice was cutting, mocking. “YOU STILL THINK YOU CAN WIN?!”

“GAME OVER IS STILL GAME OVER,” Kuon sneered. “SEE? NOT LONG NOW.”

The words hit like a ton of bricks. It felt like everything was falling apart.

A Last-ditch Effort

The seconds drained away, and Isagi’s mind raced. “DAMMIT…” His breath was ragged. The scoreboard told the story: TEAM W 4 – TEAM Z 3. Three minutes left. It was the dying seconds of their game.

Frantic, Isagi called out. “PASS THE BALL!” His voice was hoarse with panic, desperation setting in.

It felt hopeless. Could they really pull off a miracle? Team Z was on the brink of defeat. But Isagi refused to give in.

“I’LL… SMASH THROUGH MYSELF!!” Isagi shouted, a fierce fire in his eyes. His teammates, stunned, watched as he prepared for something bold. Something reckless.

The Reckless Gamble

His determination was frightening. “I THOUGHT #11 WAS USELESS ON HIS OWN!! WHAT THE HELL?!” Kunigami’s voice was filled with disbelief. Was Isagi really about to do this alone?

But there was no stopping him now. “I’LL FINISH THIS!!” Isagi’s words rang through the chaos. He was charging forward, undeterred by the odds stacked against him.

His teammates tried to warn him, but it was too late. “DON’T LET HIM SCARE YOU! HIS DRIBBLING SUCKS!” came the voice of one teammate. “YOU CAN’T DO IT ALONE, IDIOT!!”

But Isagi wasn’t listening. He was beyond reason, consumed by the game, by the thrill, by the possibility of a victory.

The Final Push

The clock ticked down mercilessly. Every second felt like an eternity. “RUN OUT THE CLOCK!” someone shouted from the sidelines. “PASS IT AROUND!”

But Isagi wasn’t going to stop. “I’LL FINISH THIS!! ME!!” His voice cut through the noise like a sharp blade.

His legs were heavy, his mind focused on one thing: the goal. The endgame.

“WE’RE ALMOST OUT OF TIME!!” his teammates cried. They pushed forward, trying to keep the momentum alive. But with every second, the stakes grew higher.

A Moment of Clarity

As Isagi’s eyes locked onto the ball, something shifted within him. “STOP IT, ISAGI… QUIT CHASING AFTER THE BALL… WITH THAT FIERCE LOOK IN YOUR EYES…” his opponent warned, but Isagi wasn’t backing down.

“CHIGIRI!!” A voice rang out. “DON’T JUST STAND THERE!! GET IT!!”

Isagi’s body was on fire as he surged forward, propelled by a burning desire to win. The clock was a distant thought now. All that mattered was what was in front of him. The ball.

A Moment of Decision

His chest heaved as he chased down the ball. “GET IT AWAY FROM THE GOAL!! CLEAR IT! GET IT!! IF WE LOSE IT, IT’S OVER!!” A teammate shouted.

Isagi’s mind was spinning. What was he afraid of? The thought crossed his mind. “WHAT… AM I SO AFRAID OF…?”

Could it be the fear of failure? Of not being good enough?

The pressure of the game built up inside him. “THE ONE THING I CAN’T LOSE… AND THAT I NEED TO BELIEVE IN…” he whispered to himself.

And then, with everything on the line, Isagi found the answer.

The Boiling Point

The heat of the moment surged through him like a tidal wave. “ARE THESE EMOTIONS BOILING INSIDE ME… AFTER SEEING ISAGI!!” Chigiri realized, watching his teammate’s unwavering determination.

Isagi was no longer just a player—he was a force, and he was about to do something extraordinary.

“HE SAVED IT!! PASS IT, ISAGI!” his teammate urged.

The clock was ticking, but Isagi wasn’t afraid anymore. He was about to make history.

The Final Shot

The final moments of the game were upon them. “IF IT BREAKS, IT BREAKS. SCREW IT…” Isagi whispered to himself, his voice a promise. “I’M FINE IF THIS IS THE LAST TIME.”

With one last surge, Isagi made his move. The world watched as the ball soared through the air. “JUST WATCH…”

And then, the impossible happened.

The Revelation

In that moment, as the ball hurtled toward the goal, Isagi realized something that would change everything.

“THE WORLD’S GREATEST STRIKER… IS ME!!!” he thought, feeling the weight of his own words.

It wasn’t just about the game. It was about believing in himself.

The Final Twist

As Isagi made his final move, the world seemed to freeze in that moment of tension. But something unexpected happened. Someone yelled from across the field:

“PASS TO ME, ISAGI!!!”
