Kuon Wataru made a shocking decision by choosing to betray Team Z after they struggled against Team Y. Meanwhile, Team V easily crushed Team Y with a staggering score of 8-0. Team V became the undefeated powerhouse and the final opponent Team Z had to face.

Due to his pessimism about Team Z’s chances of defeating Team Y, Kuon doubted their ability to overcome Team V.

Therefore, Kuon chose to betray Team Z and ally himself with Team W as their 12th player, helping Team W defeat Team Z. Although Blue Lock’s rules only allowed the teams ranked 1st and 2nd in the standings to advance to the second stage of Blue Lock, the system also gave a chance for the top scorer of the losing team to move forward.

Here are four key moments highlighting Kuon Wataru’s betrayal and redemption:

1. Kuon Wataru Succeeds as Team Z’s Top Scorer

During the match between Team Z and Team W, Kuon became the star by scoring three spectacular goals in the first half. The score stood at 3-0 in favor of Team Z, with Kuon emerging as the top scorer for the team.

However, in the second half, Kuon allied himself with Team W and changed the course of the game, allowing Team W to turn the tables and take the lead with a score of 4-3.

Even though Kuon had provided Team W with Team Z’s strategies and weaknesses, the match ended in a shocking 4-4 draw.

This outcome enraged Team W, who vented their frustration by ganging up on Kuon. They felt betrayed because Kuon had failed to inform them that Chigiri, a Team Z player previously known for having a leg injury, was actually capable of incredible speed.

Chigiri became the hero of Team Z by scoring the equalizing goal that made the score 4-4 against Team W. His remarkable performance led to Team W’s inability to secure victory over Team Z, leaving them in utter frustration.
