That's his son

The Blue Lock Project is a Project that gets many players from Japan and picks the best ones to play in the national team, but Y/n Is a different case. At age 17 and one day, he became the youngest player to play in the England squad, so being young and playing in two great teams. When arriving in Japan, he saw many people in the blue lock project and saw a man talking, saying that he was Jinpachi Ego. He said that he wants to pick the best players for japan and the best forwards from the 300 Under 18's. Anyone who beats the 299 players will become the best striker in the world. Y/n couldn't care less since he was a Midfielder, but other people wanted to be the best striker ever. Everyone ran towards the gates, and thus the blue lock project started. When arriving, Y/n was given a rank of 289th and a kit with team z and the number 7. It also showed his room too. Y/n could see people shouting, and a shirt accidentally hits him, and he got pissed.

''WHO THE FUCK THREW A SHIRT AT ME''

Everyone was looking at Y/n as he was shouting, then a boy introduced himself as Yoichi Isagi, and we wore tight black suits with blue highlights, and it was a game of tag with a ball. A player named Gurimu Igarashi, a second-year forward, introduces himself to Isagi and Kira. Igarashi then tells them that he was born in a temple and promises his old man to make Igarashi not inherit the temple if he becomes a pro-player. Igarashi reveals that Ego's speech pumped him up. While Igarashi has the ball, the timer starts and asks if he believes what Ego said about Japan's U-20. Igarashi replies that he doesn't know for sure, but he'll do it because he will return to the temple and be a monk if he loses. Igarashi then targets Isagi, only one rank higher than him, but Yoichi manages to dodge the attack. The other players run away. Kira then voices out that there's no way pros train like this, and the reason he entered Blue Lock is to reject Ego's ideology. He further says that trying to stake their football careers on a two-minute play of tag is screwed up and affirms that he cannot let Ego destroy his future. While listening to Kira's thoughts, Isagi thinks about his goal of running away and not getting hit.

Kunigami becomes the 2nd it.

While failing to hit anyone. Igarashi spots and decides to change his target. Upon kicking the ball, Gurimu was kicked in the face by the player. Another player was then approached by another and told that he hates dirty play and fair and square play. Unattended, the player, which reveals to be Rensuke Kunigami, rank 291, was hit by the ball and is now the "it". Igarashi uses Isagi to defend himself, resulting in Isagi being hit by the ball. Only 1 minute left and 3 seconds left, Isagi became the 3rd "it". Isagi then tries to attack but fails to hit anyone. After failing to hit anyone, he decides to attack Igarashi which is the lowest rank player. Only 50 seconds left, Isagi still chases Igarashi. Forty-five seconds left, Isaghi still hasn't hit anyone and tells himself that he doesn't want to end it like this and let his dream end.

Isagi decides not to attack Igarashi.

Isagi, The player who hit Igarashi, calls Isagi's attention while restraining Kunigami, giving Isagi a chance to attack Kunigami while arm locking him. Kunigami throws him, resulting in him hitting Igarashi. After that hit, Igarashi strained his foot and could not move. Kira then shouts at Isagi and tells him to take the shot .29 seconds left. Igarashi is begging Yoichi to spare him and apologizes for aiming at Isagi earlier. Isagi stops at his tracks, thinking his next steps that if he tags Igarashi, he can win, but it will end Igarashi's career. He struggles to make a decision but decides that he will lose if he doesn't do it. As for him to accomplish his dreams, he needs to destroy the pursuit of others. Twenty-one seconds left, Isagi is planning to kick the ball towards Igarashi. After 15 seconds left, Isagi stops and decides to attack those higher than him.

Bachira steals the ball from Isagi.

Bachira After sparing Igarashi, Isagi decides to attack others, but Meguru Bachira, ranked 290, steals the ball from him. 10 seconds left, he decides to go for Kira. Eight seconds left, Kira managed to dodge the attack. Seven seconds left, Bachira tries to attack Kira with his leg but also avoids it. 6, 5 seconds left, Kira runs away, and Bachira hits the ball in Kira's direction. 4 seconds left, the ball is coming towards Isagi's direction. Three seconds left, while concentrating on the ball, he kicks the ball, hitting Kira's face. The timer reaches 0, making Kira the last target. Shocked, Kira asks Isagi what he has done. Isagi, also in shock, apologizes to Kira and tells him that the ball came so fast. The game is over.

Kira confronts Ego.

Ego then appears again at the screen and declares that Kira is expelled. Shocked and angry by the result, Kira confronts Ego, stating that he's throwing away Japan's future and telling him to remove Igarashi or Isagi instead. Kira then asks what's the point of the game and tells them that tag is not football. Ego replies that everything they do at Blue Lock is related to football and tells Kira to look at his environment. He then means that the room is 16.5 x 40.32 meters which is the same proportions as the penalty area, and states that 75% of goals are scored from that area, and it is a striker's domain. He also said that if one cannot survive under those conditions, they cannot be strikers. Kira then replies that the tag has nothing to do with football. Ego reacts that a skill required by the fleeing side is tactical awareness or positioning. As for the pursuer, what they need is accurate dribbling and precision to make shots, which is optimal in football training.

Ego answers Kira.

Kira angrily tells them that he can't expect to know everything in under two minutes and that football lasts more than 90 minutes. Ego replies that the average time a player possesses a ball during a match is about 136 seconds, and they were given the same opportunity in the tag game. Kira, still confused and tells Ego what he expects him to do in just 10 seconds. Ego replies if that is what he would say if it is a natural match Kira was then expelled from the team. Stunned, Kira wasn't able to answer. Ego then replays the scene and tells Kira that he has 1 second left to survive, shooting it at injured Igarashi, yet he wasted his chance.

Ego then tells an imaginary scenario wherein he is in the middle of the match, standing in a penalty area, his teammate's shot didn't reach the goal and hit his body. When this happened, he already gives up, but he didn't notice that the ball fell before him by sheer luck, and if he had just tapped the ball, he would have been saved from his own mistake. Ego then tells that the one who is "it" in the tag, the one who has the ball, decides who they want to win but also gets to decide who they want to lose and that a striker carries all responsibilities on his back and the one who keeps on attacking until the very second. He then mentions Isagi who instead aim for injured Igarashi chose to defeat those that are higher than him and Bachira with the initiative to aim for the strongest player are perfect examples of people who rather do what's best for their team had the tenacity and courage to pursue their own will, and that's the egoism Ego is looking for.

Isagi replays his play in his head.

Ego then expels Kira. Kira still cannot believe he is out. Isagi calls him but Kira gives him an angry look and proceeds to leave the facility. Isagi still thinks about why he hit Kira and looks at Bachira. He then approaches him and asks the reason for passing him the ball and if he didn't hit it, Bachira instead would get expelled. Bachira replies that he thought he would kick it so he passed it and tells Isagi that results are everything in the place. He tells Isagi that he believed him, so he won. Igarashi then voices out that it is nonsense from the beginning to the end. Y/n did absolutely nothing, and the good thing is no one noticed him, but why was he ranked 289 . Hearing this, Ego agrees that it is nonsensical but so is the world, either you win or lose and that while they are getting excited over mediocre successes, true strikers tread a path of winning or losing everything, every single day in order to keep on surviving. He then asks how it felt for them that they felt true danger and tells them that the football they've played their lives are for weaklings and tells the feeling of victory. Ego then declares that the remaining players have passed the entrance test and their room is designed for no more than 11 people and the eleven players (Jingo Raichi, Wataru Kuon, Okuhito Iemon, Y/n Beckham, Asahi Naruhaya, Gin Gagamaru, Gurimu Igarashi, Hyoma Chigiri, Rensuke Kunigami, Meguru Bachira, and Yoichi Isagi) will be Blue Lock's Team Z.
