Blue Lock season 2 episode 12 recap

The episode opened with U20 team captain Oliver Aiku narrating his soccer career since childhood. Initially, Oliver aspired to be a striker and aimed to become the best forward in the world.

However, his coach emphasized that soccer is a team sport, where success is shared and not solely attributed to those who score goals. Oliver reflected on his rise to stardom and his eventual decision to become the world’s best defender by defeating the strikers he faced.

Despite his success, Oliver believed he had not been allowed to fully develop as a player, asserting that only those chosen can reach their full potential. He expressed that, had the Blue Lock program existed three years earlier, he might have been part of it.

As the Blue Lock 11 team pushed forward to equalize the score, Oliver entered a flow state, halting their advance and initiating a counter-attack for the U20 team.

Sae Itoshi delivered a precise pass to Ryusei Shidou, positioning him to score. However, Gin Gagamaru blocked Ryusei’s shot with a burst of flexibility and agility. Mikage Reo cleared the ball by successfully replicating the move Seishiro Nagi used to score Blue Lock’s first goal.

Gin and Mikage’s defensive efforts triggered a counter-attack for Blue Lock, led by Yoichi Isagi. Yoichi devised a plan to create an opportunity to score.

He aimed to move the ball close to the goal, receive a pass in position for his direct shot, and ensure Oliver remained too far to block it. With Tabito Karasu joining the attack, Yoichi had another asset on the field to aid in executing his strategy.

However, Sae anticipated Yoichi’s plan and intercepted him in the penalty box before he could take a shot. Despite having a defender on him, Yoichi attempted to shoot, but Sae disrupted his balance.

At the last moment, Rin Itoshi appeared before the U20 goal and called for a pass. Before the ball could reach Rin, Oliver marked him, but Shoei Baro intercepted the ball and scored the equalizing goal, tying the score at 4-4.

After scoring, Shoei explained his actions. He stated that since Yoichi and Rin worked in sync, he viewed Rin as an extension of Yoichi. Shoei determined that Rin was his target to surpass by closely monitoring Yoichi’s movements.

The episode concluded with Oliver encouraging U20’s star player, Shuto Sendo, to seize the moment and prove himself.

Oliver expressed a desire for Shuto to develop into the player he never had the opportunity to become. Simultaneously, Oliver sought to challenge Blue Lock to see if they could surpass him.
