Isagi's chance does not last long. Right after he prepares to shoot, to his surprise, Teddy interferes and blocks his effort. Teddy mocks him afterward, saying that he believes Isagi is just a toy with no ego and that he still cannot take the ball.

This incident is reminiscent of Isagi's earlier challenges, but this time Karasu is the one drawing all the attention from the defense. With the ball in the air, Chigiri dashes in with the sprinter's start that he has been training for the tournament.

Yukimiya gives Japan a lead, and the crowd goes crazy as Chigiri joins in celebrations. The goal marks the culmination of the characters' training arcs in the episode since Chigiri and Yukimiya are finally able to use their training to score a goal during Blue Lock Chapter 358.

Isagi Finds a New Rival to Chase

After losing the ball to Teddy, Isagi seems unfazed by the goal scored against him. He sees Teddy as just another hurdle to jump over on his way to winning the match. As he makes observations about the game, Isagi notices that one of the players in England seems to be acting self-centered, unlike the other players who follow Fox's puppet-like method.

It seems like Agi has a different philosophy towards playing football, which is contrary to Fox’s method right from the start. Agi even confronts Fox about this, arguing that Fox’s tactics are triggering egos in his opponents, which is the climax of one of the most shocking moments in Blue Lock Chapter 358.
