5. Itoshi Rin Admits He Won by Luck Against Isagi Yoichi

Although Isagi had reassured his teammates on Team White that their loss was purely due to Team Red’s luck, he firmly believed that Team White was close to defeating Team Red and that their defeat wasn’t a true loss.

However, Isagi couldn’t help but ask Rin directly why he had lost to him. With a relaxed demeanor, Rin responded by saying that even a monkey would know that Rin’s victory over Isagi was influenced by luck. Yet, Isagi wasn’t satisfied with the explanation of luck alone—he wanted a concrete reason that could make him stronger.

Rin then emphasized to Isagi that luck is not mere coincidence. Instead, Rin described luck as a mysterious element that favors those who desire it with all their being. According to Rin, if Isagi couldn’t grasp the essence of luck, then he didn’t deserve to survive in this competitive world where winning and losing are inevitable.

Rin also admitted that he could have missed the chance to score if he had chosen to stand idly like a statue outside Team White’s penalty box, just like the other players who were waiting to see whether Isagi would block Bachira’s shot or if Bachira would score.

Rin candidly confessed that the opportunity he seized was beyond his control, as if it was a chance created by Isagi collapsing right in front of him. Rin openly admitted to Isagi that his victory was thanks to luck.
