Blue Lock episode 21, titled I Don't Exist, will continue right from the end of the previous episode. Isagi, who grasped everything on the field, and Nagi, who dominated the space, exploded and finally caught up with Itoshi's team, making the score 2-2.

While Itoshi's team was predicted to outperform Isagi's team, Isagi's increased perception has helped a great deal.

Their series of plays, especially the last one made by Nagi, ignited Rin's fighting spirit as he was fired up by the possibilities of the match. In the upcoming episode, Rin will try to understand the capabilities of his friends and foes, as he will make use of his positioning and thinking to corner Isagi's team and dominate everything that exists on the field.

While Isagi and Itoshi will be the focus of the next couple of plays, amidst all the chaos and ego, Barou will secretly sharpen his fangs in an attempt to devour the game controlled by Rin. Thus, there is a huge possibility that he will try to devour his teammates again by stealing the ball from them, which in itself should surprise Rin.

Meanwhile, Bachira, who felt alone while playing football ever since his childhood, may have finally found two players, Isagi and Itoshi, who could play at the same level as himself. While he is yet to identify them to be similar to the monster in his vision, there is a good chance that Bachira will soon consider them to have their own monsters as well.

Nevertheless, considering the title of the episode and the preview images, it is quite evident that Isagi and Itoshi are set to excel and leave Bachira alone as they target each other in a battle of wits. It is yet to be seen how things will unfold in the upcoming episode.
