Blue Lock season 2 episode 11 Recap

Blue Lock season 2 episode 11, titled What You Taught Us, saw Ryusei Shidou analyze his football philosophy. While he was an expert in and around the penalty box, playing with Sae helped him reach his Flow State. This development allowed him to score his outrageous Big Bang Drive goal, helping U-20 Japan take the lead against Blue Lock XI.

For a moment, Ego Jinpachi lied that he had no other tactics to see how his players would react. However, Isagi's reaction surprised him as his ego far exceeded his expectations.

With that, Ego Jinpachi introduced Shoei Barou into the match. His presence confused both teammates and opponents. Using his opportunity, Yukimiya Kenyu tried reaching Flow but happened to tap into extreme concentration. Instead, Oliver Aiku managed to enter the Flow State.

Blue Lock season 2 episode 12, titled Flower, will most likely see Yoichi Isagi try deduce how to deal with Oliver Aiku in the Flow State. Isagi was already having a tough time bypassing the U-20 Japan Captain. Unfortunately, with Aiku having entered the Flow State, it has only become more difficult.

In the meantime, the anime episode could also focus on Shoei Barou. With his presence in the match, Blue Lock XI is bound to force an opening for a goal. However, it is difficult to deduce what events will unfold.
