The duel reaches its climax in Chapter 54 as Isagi finally fuses the lessons of the match into a single decisive act. Borrowing Naruhaya's knack for finding space and marrying it to his own finishing, he forges a fresh weapon and settles the contest at the buzzer.
Consumed by the question of how to grow, Isagi watches his rivals falter. Baro breaks his own pattern by firing toward the left corner for the first time, but the ball clangs off the post, and Naruhaya's attempt at a direct strike meets the same fate. The near misses spark Isagi's breakthrough: he can weld Naruhaya's off-the-ball instincts to his own shooting touch. Drifting into Baro's blind spot to shake free, Isagi collects Nagi's pass and buries the winner, birthing a brand-new weapon and defeating Naruhaya with it.
Baro's middle shot strikes the crossbar. Naruhaya, imitating Isagi's finish, hits the goalpost. Nagi threads a pass to Isagi, who steals into Baro's blind spot to receive it and scores the goal that wins the match.
