Devil of Blue Lock

Chapter 4: Premonition and Intuition

Team Z is asking each other about their weapons.

Kuon: Okay, next is Kashimo., What's your weapon?

Kashimo: Huh? Me? guess I'm perfect at everything.

Kuon: Really?

Raichi: Well, that's a lie.

Isagi: I'm not saying I believe him, but he is pretty good at everything he can try.

Bachira: So, he's like an all-rounder?

Isagi: Maybe. He's a much better all-rounder than anyone else here.

Kashimo: (I can't tell them I'm adapting to their weapons and stealing them.)

Naruhaya: Who cares about our weapons? We can't use them if we aren't coordinated enough.

Kashimo: Okay, then how about we do rotations?

Kuon: Smart idea! We're going with the "I'm the next 9!" tactic.

Kashimo: Lame name.

They all went through special training. There's no way they could become a team right away. If they continue to win, their careers will never end. To keep their word, they had to work together. That one thing drove them together.

Kashimo: I'm heading to dinner!

Bachira: Wakaaaaa! Train with us!

Kashimo: Fine, just this once. Show me what you got, monster.

A 1v1.

Kashimo: 3...

Bachira: 2...

Kashimo: 1...

Bachira: GO!

Kashimo starts dribbling in a similar style to Diego Maradona.

Bachira: I had no clue you could dribble like this!

Bachira charges at Kashimo for the ball, but Kashimo heels flicks and catches it.

Bachira: What a Devil you are!

Kashimo: So I'm told. I think that's enough for now. I got a pretty good idea of what you can do. I'm going to get my dinner now.

Bachira: See ya!

Kashimo goes to the canteen.

Kashimo: God, I miss home...

Kunigami: Great work, Kashimo. Mind if I sit next to you?

Kashimo: Oh, Kunigami.

Kunigami: I ate earlier. I decided to come here to see you.

Kashimo: Why?

Kunigami: I forgot to thank you.

Kashimo: For what?

Kunigami: Thanks, for showing me the importance in teamwork.

Kashimo: Really?

Kunigami: Yeah. I thought I thank you for that. Well, that's all. Night.

Kashimo: Why do you play football? What does becoming the best mean to you?

Kunigami: That's simple. I'm a football superhero.

Kashimo: Huh?

Kunigami: For me, superheroes aren't guys with capes, robots, or even King of the Pirates. Superheroes are the ones that stand on the green pitch, victorious after scoring the goal to win it all. Strikers. Not in manga, anime, cartoons, movies, or any of that. Those players were entirely real. To me, they are the real thing. They're superheroes. That's the kind of symbol I want to be in this world.
