Nagi Seishiro had only been playing soccer for six months, yet thanks to his extraordinary talent, he had never experienced a single defeat during that time. Nagi often found himself bewildered when watching others play soccer with subpar skills, yet they remained determined to pursue the sport.

It is important to note that Nagi’s words weren’t meant as mockery but rather as genuine bewilderment. For Nagi, soccer felt incredibly easy, but for those who heard his remarks, they might feel insulted or provoked.

Here are 3 Blue Lock Figures Who Gave Nagi Seishiro a Hard Time:

1. Nagi Seishiro Provokes Isagi Yoichi

When the second half of the match between Team V and Team Z began, a dramatic moment occurred. Gagamaru’s shot, which should have resulted in a goal as Team V’s goalkeeper couldn’t reach it, was remarkably blocked by Zantetsu, who headed the ball away to defend the goal.

However, the rebound landed right at Isagi Yoichi’s feet. Even though he was 23 meters away from the goal, Isagi Yoichi had a decent long-range shot. Unfortunately, Isagi failed to make the shot as Team V’s center-backs managed to intercept him. Isagi blamed himself, feeling inadequate because he lacked the dribbling skills to get past defenders and didn’t have the strength to hold onto the ball.

Next, Nagi Seishiro taunted Isagi for failing to take the shot. Nagi was baffled by Isagi’s hesitation and inefficiency in capitalizing on a scoring chance.

Nagi couldn’t understand why Isagi kept pushing forward on the field despite his lack of skill—whether it was sheer ignorance or stubbornness. Nagi even remarked that if he had Isagi’s level of ability, he’d have already quit playing soccer altogether. His curiosity deepened as he wondered what drove Isagi to keep moving forward and stay in the game.

These remarks angered Isagi, and he snapped back in frustration, “Shut up, you genius!”

#Isagi Yoichi’s Direct Goal

As the second half of the match between Team V and Team Z seemed to be ending in a 4-4 draw, a spectacular moment unfolded. Bachira sent a precise crossing pass toward Isagi Yoichi, who was positioned on the left side, 19 meters away from Team V’s goal.

Initially, Isagi was filled with confidence that he would score. With no center-backs marking him, he had ample time to control the ball and prepare a shot toward the goal.

However, as the ball was still in the air, Nagi Seishiro suddenly appeared, marking Isagi closely and causing him to panic. Isagi was fully aware that Nagi could shut down his scoring opportunity, knowing that he lacked perfect ball control and wasn’t a fast runner.

In that crucial moment, Isagi realized that his greatest strength was scoring direct goals. Before the cross from Bachira even touched the ground, Isagi made a lightning-fast volley, striking the ball mid-air with extraordinary precision and sending it straight into Team V’s net.

As a result, Team Z secured victory over Team V with a final score of 5-4. Isagi Yoichi succeeded in achieving his goal of defeating Team V and Nagi Seishiro.

Following the match, Nagi couldn’t help but confess to his friend Reo that he was experiencing the bitter sting of defeat despite having played with focus and determination. Nagi admitted how frustrated he felt about losing.

This defeat was a consequence of Nagi provoking Isagi. His remarks led Isagi to find a solution to his weakness after Nagi called him inefficient for taking too long to make a decision.
