Chapter 218 of Blue Lock has Isagi map out which players truly share his Metavision, then watch Kunigami force his way into the action by stealing a throw-in meant for Ness during the ongoing Bastard Munchen against Ubers match.
Summary
Isagi checks whether Niko has Metavision. Niko is unfamiliar with the term, but once Isagi describes it he recognizes that it matches what he had been doing instinctively. Aiku scolds Niko for straying from their defensive scheme, though he grudgingly credits the improvised block.
Raichi rounds on Isagi, blaming him for the ball being lost and assuming Isagi merely stumbled into the right position to win it back, a read Kurona and Yukimiya share. That reaction tells Isagi they cannot perceive the field the way he can, and he narrows the list of likely Metavision users to Kaiser, Niko, and perhaps Lorenzo.
As Grim sets up the throw-in, Kaiser stews over his stalemate with Lorenzo. Ness rushes over in a panic asking what to do, but Kaiser talks down to him and orders him to stick to their rehearsed plan and trust him. The moment Ness moves to take delivery, Kunigami cuts in front to rob him, announcing that no one should overlook the dark horse, and drives forward.
Key Events
Isagi determines that only a handful of players seem to have Metavision, namely Niko, Kaiser, and possibly Lorenzo. Kunigami intercepts the ball intended for Ness and charges up the pitch.
