What happened in Blue Lock Season 2, Episode 5?

Jinpachi Ego finally announced the under-20 team lineup

Blue Lock Episode 5 started with a bang, with Team A winning the last match against Team C. Immediately afterwards, Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shido turned around and Shido kicked Rin in the face and left him with a bloody nose. Ego electrocuted Shido to stop his violent actions, but this moment made it evident that Rin and Shido cannot coexist peacefully on the same field. Then came the scene that fans had been waiting for since the beginning of the second season: the list of players who won the coveted place in the Blue Lock team for the U20 match was announced.

Gagamaru Gin was announced as the goalkeeper, and Aryu Jyubei and Niko Ikki as the two defenders. The right and left backs are Chigiri Hyoma and Bachira Meguru. Karasu Tabito is the defensive midfielder, Otoya Eita is the right winger and Yukimiya Kenyau is the left winger. Nagi Seishiro and Isagi Yoichi are the attacking midfielders and Rin Itoshi is the most important piece of the puzzle around which the entire team is built: the Center Forward. Surprisingly, Shido Ryusei, one of the best players, was not chosen for the team, causing confusion among the other players who heard the lineup.

Although Shido scored the second most goals per game at Blue Lock after Rin, Ego left him out of the U20 team’s lineup for two crucial reasons. First, Shido’s on-field chemistry with Rin is non-existent, and he becomes increasingly violent towards his teammate whenever they play together. Not only could Rin and Shido being on the same team cost Blue Lock a victory, but someone could also get hurt or the team could be penalized for misconduct. Secondly, the second biggest plot twist in episode six prevented Shido from joining the Blue Lock team because he will play for Japan.

Sae Itoshi, the most important member of Japan’s under-20 team, threatened to withdraw from the competition if one condition was not met: he would choose a member of the Blue Lock to play alongside him. Sae controversially chose Shido instead of his own brother, Rin. Shido’s violent and passionate playing style piqued Sae’s interest, and he told the Blue Lock player, “go crazy for me”, hoping to control Shido’s uncontrollable ego. With the teams finally defined, the Blue Lock participants began their final training camp to prepare for the most challenging match of their lives.
