Blue Lock season 2 episode 9 recap
The episode began with a flashback exploring Rin Itoshi’s admiration for his older brother, Sae Itoshi. Sae, renowned as a soccer prodigy, had achieved numerous accolades and captured widespread media attention. During an interview, Sae arrogantly dismissed a question about his future aspirations, showcasing his confidence.
On their way home, Sae shared his goal of becoming the world’s best striker, disregarding all other pursuits as unimportant. Inspired by his brother, Rin aspired to follow in Sae’s footsteps, envisioning himself as a strong and talented player. Sae fueled Rin’s determination by telling him he had the potential to become the world’s strongest player after him.
The Blue Lock Eleven now led against Japan’s U-20 team during the first half. The intensity of the match was palpable, with brief moments showcasing Isagi Yoichi, Meguru Bachira’s parents and the chaos within the U-20 pavilion. Meanwhile, Hirotoshi Buratsuta expressed his frustrations, desperately wanting the U-20 team to reclaim their lead.
The Blue Lock players celebrated their advantage until Jinpachi Ego interrupted, urging them to refine their strategies. He credited Rin’s leadership and Isagi’s critical support for their breakthrough against the U-20’s defense.
Ego also admitted that Isagi had been used as a tactical element in their defensive setup. Isagi, however, confidently declared his intent to score independently, driven by his unyielding desire to win.
In the U-20 locker room, panic unfolded as Sae declared his exit from the game, expressing his disinterest in conventional play.
Oliver Aiku, the U-20 captain, reflected on his team’s weaknesses. He introduced Ryusei Shidou as a last-minute substitution to shake up the game, changing their strategy entirely.
The episode delved further into Rin’s mindset, revisiting a flashback of his relationship with Sae. Rin recalled idolizing his brother and dreaming of becoming his partner in achieving greatness.
However, Sae’s shift in focus as a midfielder shattered Rin’s dreams. In a one-on-one match, Sae dismissed Rin’s aspirations as meaningless, leaving an emotional wound that hardened Rin’s resolve to surpass his brother.
As the episode concluded, Rin sat alone, reflecting on the realization that his efforts to connect with Sae had been disregarded. Despite his despair, Rin was determined to surpass his brother on his terms.
The second half of the match began, with Rin and Isagi stepping onto the field, only to face the unexpected alliance of Sae and Shidou, who were prepared to strike as a powerful new unit.
With Blue Lock’s lead hanging by a thread, the stage was set for a high-stakes confrontation against the rejuvenated U-20 team.
