Summary

Standing over the free kick, Kaiser presses Noa on whether he truly entered the Neo Egoist League only to develop him and steered Isagi to spur him further. Noa confirms it, and Kaiser brands him a rotten mentor for engineering a rival just to climb higher. Noa answers that others crowned him the planet's finest and that he has merely tried to embody a striker's way of living instinctively and completely. He names Loki as the gravest danger to Kaiser and dares him to eclipse the sprinter once he has settled his own account with Loki.

Isagi braces for the set piece, weighing whether to cut off the ball's flight, pounce on a rebound, or gamble on one side. Kaiser resolves to reject Noa's script and write his own story, drawing on a bruised childhood and the belief that he stays alive only by wounding others, powering his strike with both love and malice.

Key Events

Tokimitsu, Zantetsu, and Karasu throw up a barrier while Chapa tries to pin Isagi, who breaks the other way as Kaiser strikes. The shot bends with a curve far sharper than expected, deceiving both Isagi and the keeper as it swings toward the top corner. Loki races back and blocks it with a raised boot, sneering that the Kaiser Impact was too slow.
