Chapter 245

In the Manshine City clash with Ubers, Agi reluctantly funnels the ball to Nagi at Chris Prince's urging while shaking off Drago and Rico. Nagi cushions the pass midair with his ankle, lifts it over Aryu, and barges past Niko to reclaim his own flick before Lorenzo steps up boasting matching physical specs. He hesitates despite Reo's call to shoot, and his eventual effort is headed away by Aiku. Baro pounces on the loose ball, exchanges a one-two with Niko to slip Reo's tackle, and unveils his Predator Eye, only for Chigiri's panther-like burst to smother the attempt; Sendo then bundles the rebound home even as Damon and Young cling to him, sealing the win for Ubers.

A spent Reo and Nagi draw a rebuke from Agi, who tells the pair they have stopped growing and urges Reo to release Seishiro before their mutual dependence dooms them both, insisting that true evolution demands the nerve to give up what one holds dear. Nagi seeks out Baro and asks what drives him forward. Baro answers that he still means to reign as the world's finest and forge an era all his own, crushing whoever rises to challenge his throne. He rounds on Nagi for such a gutless question, calls him no longer a threat, dismisses him as too soft and merely play-acting at competition, then spits that Nagi is running on a hollow, borrowed ego and orders him to go die and come back.

Attention shifts to the France against Spain meeting, where Shido nods home the decisive goal despite So and Ruiz hanging off him. Hiori remarks that Lavinho has joined the fray and that both Otoya and Bachira found the net, and Isagi observes that France, much like Bastard Munchen, has swept every match so far, his aura flaring at the prospect of learning who truly stands above the rest.

Nagi squanders a scoring chance by faltering under Lorenzo's pressure, handing Ubers possession. Sendo nets the clincher as Ubers down Manshine City three to one. Shido's header carries PXG past FC Barcha three to two.
