After the block on Rin, Isagi lays bare how coldly he engineered it, embracing a mindset of trading his soul for victory. With the star-change window closing, he taunts Loki and Noa alike and turns to Kaiser with a bold proposal.
Summary
Gagamaru celebrates the save with Raichi and Igarashi while Rin grinds his teeth. Crouched on the turf, Isagi clenches a fist, and Hiori praises the play, asking how much was planned. Isagi answers that everything except the save was calculated. He explains that he gave up beating Rin alone, choosing instead to restrict the shot's angle and leave the block to Kaiser, exploiting the German's psychology and skills. Setting personal feeling aside so he would not simply be devoured by geniuses, Isagi says he was ready to sell his soul for victory and believes he has hit on a fresh way to fight.
Rin sneers that Isagi's striker instinct has gone rotten, but Isagi fires back that his logic overpowered Rin's inspiration and that a talented learner has just beaten a genius.
Key Events
As the masters leave the pitch, Loki mocks Rin and claims Japan is ten thousand years from producing a top striker, prompting Isagi to name Loki the real loser for merely being born fast. When Noa tells him to stop on the worldwide stream, Isagi brands him a rotten master, vows to bring a theory that surpasses him, and lays claim to the next World Cup, which Noa says he looks forward to. Isagi then walks over to Kaiser and asks him to team up.
