What happened in Blue Lock Season 2, Episode 4?
Reo Mikage’s story explained, revealing his boredom with his old life
After Team A’s triumph over Team B, Isagi was riding high due to his winning goal. He talked to his teammates, Nijiro and Yo, about how he managed to pull off such an impressive move by sneaking up on Rin and Shido and hiding in their blind spot. Once again full of convincing reflections, Yo Hiori compared playing football to the video game Tetris, because both games require quick decision-making and allow little time for pondering. As Isagi carefully contemplated his strategy in the last game, Team A and Team C’s match has begun, allowing other players to watch the action on one screen.
The focal point of the episode was one of Team C’s players, Reo Mikage. The episode’s opening scenes highlight Reo’s lavish and extravagant but painfully boring life up to this point. Reo grew up rich, extremely popular and very intelligent, always receiving everything he asked for. However, he became exhausted with his luxurious lifestyleseeking joy in football. Although his parents warned him against it, hoping that he would become his father’s successor in the business world, Reo was not swayed. However, Reo came to a disturbing realization during Team A’s match: he doesn’t have much to lose.
Reo became “the chameleon”, copying other players’ moves effortlessly
His imitations are imperfect, but they still help him improve at football
When Nagi scored the first goal of the game for Team C by jumping in front of Team A’s Jyubei Aryu, Reo realized that he needed to change his mindset, or he would never reach the level of these incredible players, including his former best friend. Not so easily defeated, Rin quickly scored for Team A. At this point, Reo was desperate to prove himself worthy of Blue Lock’s fame. Although losing would not destroy his life, as his family could still provide him with a successful life, Reo understood in this scene that all he wanted was to play football.
Reo acknowledged the fact that players like Nagi and Rin were much more exceptional than him, but he did not accept defeat. Nicknamed himself “The Chameleon”, Reo copied Kenyau’s last move effortlesslytaking a shot that his teammate used earlier in the game. Reo has finally unlocked his “ego”, the playstyle that works best for him, although it has brought setbacks. Team C still lost the game 5-3, because Reo’s imitations of other players’ moves were not as effective as his own original moves. However, Reo was not discouraged and the defeat only motivated him to keep trying even harder.
Sae Itoshi gave U20 officials an ultimatum
He stated that he would only participate if he could choose a Blue Lock player to join
Episode 4 was not only a phenomenal gift for Reo fans, but it revealed just how interesting Blue Lock it is, even when Isagi isn’t the focus. The final scene also teased an intriguing future plot point. The clip showed Sae Itoshi, Rin’s older brother, talking to those responsible for the Japan U20 team. Sae told them that he would only participate in the U20 match against Blue Lock if he could team up with a player of his choice from Blue Lockinsinuating that he had someone in mind. As the U20 match approaches, more exciting details will be revealed soon Blue Lock spectators.
