Includes Vol. 13–15.

After making it through the grueling Second Selection, Isagi and the remaining thirty-four strikers prepare for their next challenge--a match against the current U-20 Japan team. However, with only eleven spots available on the Blue Lock team, Isagi must first clear tryouts if he is to keep his dreams alive. Thanks to a last-minute goal, Isagi manages to prove his worth and earn his teammates’ respect in the first match of tryouts, but more matches remain. Isagi will need to master his new “reflexive thinking” ability to earn a place on the Blue Lock Eleven... Can he assert his place among the best of the best and earn a coveted spot on the starting lineup?!
