Right after, the match between Bastard Munchen and Paris X Gen resumed after some trash talk surrounding Shidou's hair color. As the match restarted with Michael Kaiser and Alexis Ness's kickoff, Isagi began thinking about how to attain peak performance with Hiori. That's when Isagi realized that there are different types of players, the Self-Type, who played for themselves, and the World Type, who analyzed their surroundings and played accordingly.

Thinking back, Isagi realized that players like Bachira, Barou, Nagi, and Zantetsu were self-type players, while Karasu, Hiori, Reo, and himself were world-type players. Given that Isagi was confused about the player types of others, he believed he needed more data to deduce the same.

In the meantime, Zantetsu charged at Alexis Ness, forcing Ness to lose the ball. Fortunately, Hiori Yo stole the ball. Right then, Charles Chevalier appeared from Hiori's blindspot and stole the ball away from him. During this, he realized that Hiori also possessed Meta Vision.

Charles then used his Meta Vision to launch another long pass to Ryusei Shidou. Right as Shidou began chasing after the ball, Kunigami Rensuke tracked back furiously and cleared the ball with his head. Shidou was confused about who Kunigami was as he had seemingly forgotten about him.

That's when Kunigami reminded Shidou that he had ruined his life. Additionally, he called himself the "mediocre hero," helping Shidou remember him. With that, Blue Lock Chapter 254 spoilers set up the match-up between Ryusei Shidou and Kunigami Rensuke. In the meantime, Hiori was fired up to surpass Charles.
