BLUELOCK Episode21 Synopsis

In the previous episodes, the combination play between Isagi, who has learned to read the entire field and predict the future, and Nagi, who controls space, finally leads them to equalize the score at 2-2. This turn of events ignites Rin's competitive spirit.

Rin, who has the ability to fully grasp both allies' and enemies' abilities, starts dominating the field, controlling the ball, positioning, and thought processes—essentially mastering everything on the field. Once again, Isagi and his team find themselves on the back foot.

Amid the chaos and clashes of egos, one man secretly sharpens his claws, ready to break through Rin's dominant game.
