Blue Lock season 2 episode 4, titled Chameleon, saw Yoichi Isagi thanking Hiori and Nanase for helping him create his goal. Right after, Hiori Yo explained what he truly meant by thinking with reflexes. This explanation helped Isagi think further about increasing the reproducibility of entering the trance state.

As for the match between Team A and Team C, Reo Mikage was having a tough time competing against the Top 6. This is because, unlike them, he did not have special weapons.

Reo was a balanced player, and hence he decided to lean into his dexterity and become a player who was the master of all trades. Right after, Reo copied Yukimiya's gyro shot and scored a super goal. Unfortunately, Team C lost against Team A with a score of 5-3.
