Blue Lock chapter 208, titled 100, opened with the Blue Lock players from Germany's Bastard Munchen training. While Raichi dominated stamina training, Isagi could keep up due to his increased focus on the same. During the one-touch pass training, he was able to maintain the tempo, however, he made minute errors.

Nevertheless, when it came to off-the-ball training, Isagi excelled as he got past Yukimiya and scored a spectacular goal, all while holding off his opponent using his hands. Everyone around him, including Yukimiya, was impressed by Isagi's growth and display.

Later, Isagi was seen discussing his Meta Vision with Hiori Yo. He described how Meta Vision was an enhanced vision of acting by reflex by using one's peripheral vision. However, the constant scan of all players on the field was very draining for Isagi, which is why he was training his body to keep up with his mind.

Hiori finally realized how Isagi was able to grow into a monster. While from the outside, it seemed like he had exploded onto the scene, however, upon closer look, it was quite evident that Isagi's growth was slow and steady. He then went on to praise Isagi for his playmaking in the previous match, making him look like he was controlling every player on the field.

While Isagi was happy due to his evolution, it still wasn't enough to beat Kaiser with 100% certainty, which is why he needed an additional weapon to create his winning formula. This is when Igaguri and Raichi were seen quarreling during his training. Igaguri has mastered malicia, which Raichi found to be stupid. While Hiroi thought the same, Isagi was inspired by it as he found his missing piece to defeat Kaiser.

Isagi thanked Igaguri as he ran off to Bastard Munchen's gym to meet Kunigami Rensuke, the only person who could help him attain his missing piece.
