Summary

A corner is awarded after Yukimiya turns away Nagi's attempt, and Isagi admires how Nagi is reaching for a style all his own. Agi, however, scores the move a mere eight out of a hundred, scolding the sloppy passing and reminding Nagi to keep his own ideas at the core and to picture the play before making it. Watching Agi tutor Nagi in the middle of the game, Isagi realizes his former teammate once simply mirrored whatever he or Reo did.

Seeing Nagi as a baby chick when it comes to soccer thinking and inventing plays, Isagi grasps that his ceiling is now limitless under elite coaching. Reo agrees others are spellbound by the talent, saying Nagi might be crushed here yet cannot be stopped if his hunger is real. He admits both he and Isagi once fell for that same star power, and if Nagi's schooling takes, he could become the world's finest prodigy. Reo warns Isagi not to be left behind by someone willing to discard anything to get what he wants.

Key Events

As Chigiri lines up the corner, Isagi expects a precise curling delivery and readies to double up on the long limbed Agi alongside Mensah. He is caught out when Chigiri drives in a low flat kick, and again when Agi flicks a pass to Nagi instead of shooting.

Just as Nagi prepares to trap it, Kaiser steps in to block him and dubs him a little chick. Agi greets Kaiser and offers to analyze him properly, but Kaiser brushes him off as a soccer freak and tells him to stick to babysitting. Isagi concedes that Kaiser keeps outpacing him, admitting that he too, like Nagi, remains under development.
