Overview

Team X takes part in the round-robin First Selection held inside the Blue Lock facility, a Japanese unit dressed in white and black. Their most memorable moment arrives at the very start of the stage, when they line up as the first hurdle Team Z has to clear.

Role

The squad wins its debut fixture against Team Z by a 5-1 scoreline, a result engineered by Daiya Morinaga, who talks his teammates into dropping personal glory and funneling everything toward their ace. Feeding the ball to Shoei Baro pays off at once, with Baro burying four of the five goals. The tactic proves brittle once rivals adapt, and the same one-man reliance leaves the side exposed. After that bright opening they drop every remaining match, falling to Team W, Team Y, and Team V, and settle at the foot of the standings. Only Baro, the group's leading marksman, earns a place in the Second Selection.
