BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
One shot, yet the animation team replayed it a full three times, from three different angles, to let the audience see how Itoshi Rin had managed to take this shot before Isagi.
"Rin?!" Isagi was stunned.
The script he had constructed in his mind was once again torn to shreds. And this time, it wasn't just Tendou; Rin was also ahead of him.
The ball crashed into the net like lightning. The goalkeeper, who was like a decoration, naturally couldn't stop Rin's powerful shot.
3:0!
Just two more goals, and this match would be over.
For the players outside the top six, this was not a good thing, even for the three players on Tendou's team. Because they only had one chance. If they couldn't show their worth as much as possible before Team A scored 5 goals, they would miss out on the match against the U-20 representative team.
The gap in physical attributes!
This was not the first time Isagi had lamented his lack of physical talent. Limited by his physical gifts, he had failed to score this goal. If only he could run as fast as Chigiri, or had a body like Kunigami's...
However, he wouldn't complain. He was born this way; this was given to him by his parents. All Isagi wanted now was to continuously break through his own limits within his limited conditions, to score goals.
'Isagi-ge is completely useless. The gap in his physical condition is a bit too big.'
'Pro: good brain. Con: ONLY has a good brain!'
'Isagi saw through everyone's actions and found the best goal position, Otoya saw through Isagi and found the most dangerous position, Rin saw through Otoya's seeing-through and scored. Are we playing with nesting dolls here?'
'LMAO! These guys are fighting on levels 1, 2, 3, and 4, not knowing that my King B Tendou is watching the joke from the stratosphere.'
'His stats are still too low. He's not compatible with Tendou.'
'I thought that ball was passed to Isagi, but in the end, it was given to Rin!'
'So love can disappear, is that right?'
The audience was chattering away. While Isagi was still deep in thought, the audience had already been won over by Tendou's stats. Tendou had successfully brought his set from Kuroko's Basketball to Blue Lock. His stats were maxed out, his character design was flawless, and he even had the buff of a "sacrificed younger brother." He deserved his high popularity.
...
The match continued. Team B kicked off for the fourth time. The 3:0 score caused a lot of changes in the mentality of both teams. Because if Team A scored two more goals, this match would be over.
From the current situation, it was very difficult for their Team B to stop Team A, or rather, the offense of that peerless strongman, Tendou.
To better show their own value in the limited time, Imamura Yudai and Zantetsu Tsurugi had to take action, instead of just being the supporting characters for Shidou or Otoya. The two of them tacitly formed a small circle, joining the attack together. This was equivalent to Team B going on an all-out press.
At this moment, Isagi's and Rin's attention was still on the opponent's two wings. In the first three attacks, it was clear that Team B's two wings were a greater threat. This sudden all-out press from Team B caught them somewhat off guard.
Zantetsu and Imamura got past Hiori and Nanase with a series of one-twos. The members of Team A now all knew this was bad. Imamura then sent the ball to Chigiri's feet, and the latter sprinted down the left wing like a wild horse.
Facing Isagi, Chigiri unreasonably accelerated and charged directly into the penalty area. It was still the 44-degree angle on the left. This was Chigiri's golden shooting range and angle.
"This time, I'll definitely pierce your goal!"
Chigiri decisively took the shot. After a large backswing, he heavily struck the ball.
And at this time.
The screen froze. Then the camera slowly rotated and contracted like a vortex, until all the images were contained within Tendou's pupils. This was the scene that Tendou had stolen from the future, what was about to happen.
This was not the first time the audience had seen the special effect of Tendou activating his Six Eyes. It was just that this time, the special effect of his Big Data Statistics was also added.
In front of the screen, the audience was seeing Tendou's field of vision. In his eyes, the entire field, all the players, were displayed with various data, and it would be rapidly updated with the players' actions. When Imamura made the passing motion, Tendou's brain had already calculated several landing spots for the ball and had marked the different probabilities at those positions on the field.
At the same time, the data on players like Chigiri was also instantly updated.
Monstrous!
This was the audience's heartfelt cry. This was the first time the animation team had simultaneously displayed the special effects of the Six Eyes and Big Data Statistics. The impact it brought made people exclaim that he was a hacker!
Tap!
Just as in the scene he saw from the future, Imamura passed the ball to Chigiri's feet. The latter, after receiving the ball, immediately accelerated and beat Isagi, sprinting towards the golden-glowing position in his field of vision.
But then.
BZZT!
The familiar lightning erupted. Tendou's figure appeared in front of Chigiri, a fearsome, pitch-black monster standing behind him.
Then the camera turned. Tendou's figure had already appeared behind Chigiri, and he had completed the tackle.
A one-cut kill!
Perhaps due to a lack of budget, the scene of Tendou tackling the ball was omitted in the animation. But the audience did not complain. Instead, they felt an even deeper shock. The instant-kill effect created by this one-cut kill made them feel strangely satisfied.
'Holy crap! So monstrous!'
'My god! Tendou's ability is overpowered.'
'Seriously, stop hacking. It's not interesting.'
'Who the hell is the protagonist here?'
'First calculate the final result, then use your eyes to observe the future to get the process! He knows everything from beginning to end! He's playing with a script!'
'The budget warrior is no joke. From the first season of Blue Lock to the second, the most dazzling special effects have all been contributed by Tendou.'
'By the way, what the hell is this "44 Snipe" of the young lady's? He hasn't been able to fire a single shot so far.'
'Can't be helped. The opponent's stats are too high. It's either a pro or Tendou, who has professional-level skill. If he had been on Tendou's team, he definitely would have been able to fire it!'
The audience was both amazed that Tendou was playing with a script and at the same time teasing that Chigiri's "44 Snipe" was all name and no substance. Every time he was about to take a shot, he would misfire, and he hadn't been able to score a single goal. It got to the point where other viewers began to feel sorry for him.
And Chigiri? He had long since been so shocked by Tendou's heaven-defying ability that he was speechless. In the first and second selections, he had always been by Tendou's side. He only knew that Tendou was strong, but he didn't know he was strong to this extent.
He recalled their contact just now. He had been defeated in a single face-off, as if all his actions, and even his thoughts, had been seen through by Tendou. That feeling of powerlessness went deep into his bones!
