Within 9 minutes.
One person crazily scored 5 goals.
This was a miracle!
Even though it was presented in a youth competition, it was enough to make people feel a sense of frenzy.
In Anri Teieri's eyes, Tendou was so out of place among the surrounding high school students. She felt that, with the level Tendou was currently displaying, he was already qualified to compete on a professional stage. If you also included his monster-like talent, she was afraid that even the European giants wouldn't be able to hold him back. They would probably have him practice with the first team first, and then throw him into cup matches to level up. If he performed well, he might even be able to step onto the first-team stage of the top five major leagues at the age of sixteen or seventeen.
5 goals in 9 minutes!
This talent was enough to be compared with the prodigy Loki and that Norwegian demon child, right?
"Ego-san, if we continue to keep him in Blue Lock, aren't we just wasting his talent?"
It was clearly the top talent training institution in Japan today, yet Anri Teieri felt as if they were holding back Tendou's future. With this prodigy's talent and immediate combat power, he should be in the holy land of football in Europe to be honed. He was completely different from the other two hundred-plus forwards in Blue Lock.
Ego Jinpachi was silent for a while.
Clearly, he had not expected to encounter such a young demon. If Messi and Ronaldo were 1-in-50-year geniuses in football history, then the two young demons, Loki and Haaland, were at least 1-in-20-year football prodigies.
A genius who could be compared to these two...
Alright, Ego Jinpachi had to admit that Tendou had given him too big of a surprise. But he still decided to keep Tendou in Blue Lock for training. It was only for half a year anyway. By the time Tendou completed his training in Blue Lock, he would not be over 18 years old. It wouldn't be too late for him to land in Europe then. What's more, he had even grander plans ahead, which would definitely not affect Tendou's future development.
"He has been in contact with football for too short a time. Staying in Blue Lock for training will only benefit him," Ego Jinpachi considered giving Tendou's tablet internet access. The current Tendou needed more football knowledge to enrich himself. This knowledge would broaden his football path.
...
On the field.
The match continued.
A five-goal deficit was enough to kill the game. The players of Team W stared at Tendou, their hearts trembling with fear.
We can't win!
They couldn't possibly defeat such a monster.
The players of Team W were like deflated balloons. After the match restarted, they had no fighting spirit left. The desperate marking of Tendou just now was nothing more than a final, fleeting flash of life, with the sole purpose of preventing him from achieving the "Nine-Five Supreme." Now that Tendou had already scored his fifth goal, they just wanted to get through the remaining time as quickly as possible.
These players had been beaten into submission and had given up on trying.
But there was also a portion of players who, knowing that advancement was hopeless, began to work hard to score goals. They clearly had no intention of giving up just yet. Even if the team lost, they hoped to be able to stay in Blue Lock themselves.
"The same choice as Team Y back then," Bachira said. Seeing the opponent's army collapse into a strange circle of fighting for themselves, he was instantly reminded of Team Y, whom they had pushed into the abyss not long ago.
"That's right. After all, if they can't become the top scorer, they'll have to bid farewell to the national team forever," Isagi said. He felt it was cruel, but at the same time, he felt a thrill.
The only pity was that he had not yet scored a goal in this match. He hadn't been able to personally bury the lives of the 11 guys in front of him. He looked in Tendou's direction and thought to himself, "If I were standing on the other side, as Tendou's opponent, I would probably be just like these guys."

A whistle blew.
The match ended before anyone knew it. The score was 7:1!
After scoring his fifth goal, Tendou had returned to his usual routine of standing by and watching the show. For the rest of the match, he didn't do much, just passing the ball to his teammates. He even managed to get an assist, helping Chigiri Hyoma score his debut goal. The "young lady" was extremely excited. He had waited a full year for this goal. The bittersweet feelings involved were not something an outsider could understand.
The Wanima brothers also managed to steal a goal while Team Z was defending loosely with a large lead, saving some face.
With this.
Team Z had a perfect record of 3 wins in 3 matches, obtaining 9 points with a +12 goal difference advantage. Team V also had the same number of points, with the iron triangle led by Nagi Seishiro also achieving a good result of 3 wins and 9 points. However, they had been surpassed by Team Z in terms of goal difference.
"Now for the main event!"
Anri Teieri began to look forward to the final match between Team Z and Team V. This was a match that would determine who would become number one in Building 5.
From the content of the matches, she believed that Team Z had a higher chance of winning. From the first match to the second, and then to the third, Team Z had been on a continuous upward trend. This could be seen from the scores. They won the first match 4:2, the second 4:0, and the third 7:1.
Team Z was improving with every match, playing better and better. They were no longer just a "1," but a "10," or even more. But Team V was not bad either. Tendou's brilliance was too profound, overshadowing the others. As a result, Anri only saw Tendou, while Team V had three people.
To use a famous scene from a great neighboring country's epic novel as an analogy:
Three Heroes versus Lü Bu!
...
Real World.
The latest episode of Blue Lock had finished updating. That same night, anime discussions about the latest episode of Blue Lock also sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, with videos appearing one after another.
"...Hello everyone, I am Nightmare, an uploader who has dedicated his life to the 2D world."
"Today, let's talk about the content of Blue Lock."
"Speaking of which, after Captain Tsubasa, this is the best football-themed anime I've seen."
"The budget is visibly abundant. Every time I see Tendou sprint, I can smell the money burning (laughs)."
"And it's broadcast in a live format. The last anime to have this kind of treatment was Kuroko's Basketball. I don't know what's been up with Bilibili these past few years, suddenly paying so much attention to sports anime. But the production of Blue Lock is indeed excellent. The art, the special effects, and the voice acting are all top-notch."
This was Nightmare's first video about Blue Lock. Because he had no manga to base it on, he only made this video after watching several episodes. He talked about everything from the start of the Blue Lock project, from the first episode to the fifth, all the way to the content of the latest episode against Team W.
In this plot arc, the character with the most screen time was not Isagi or Tendou, the two popularity kings, but Chigiri Hyoma. The "young lady," with his beautiful face, had successfully attracted a lot of female fans, and the love of some "true" manly men.
"About this plot arc, it's actually not fresh at all. It belongs to the old tropes of anime."
"The classic and timeless technique of 'suppress first, then praise.'"
"Actually, I had already predicted a scene like this when Chigiri and Isagi had their separate talks before."
"To go to such great lengths to lay so much groundwork, the purpose is to welcome his shining moment."
"Sure enough, in the latest episode, Chigiri's background story was also explained clearly. A genius who almost fell due to an injury."
The words "fallen genius" had just popped up, and the bullet comments on the video instantly flooded the screen.
'The three-year agreement has been fulfilled!'
