After clearing the first simulation challenges, Isagi moves into Stage 2 of the Second Selection. Here, players can form groups of three, but only after proving themselves individually.
The twist?
You must choose your rivals, not your friends.
Isagi finds Bachira waiting for him — Bachira had already passed the first trial and is excited to team up again. But they need a third player to enter the next stage.
Suddenly, an unexpected figure appears: Nagi Seishiro.
He asks to join their team, stunning Isagi.
Nagi has abandoned Reo, choosing evolution over loyalty.
“Isagi… I want to play with you. You made soccer fun for me.”
This decision shocks everyone and sets up one of the strongest trios in early Blue Lock.
