"I won't be constrained by the likes of you! I'll destroy, destroy, destroy you! Every single one of you must be eliminated! That shorty's weapon is speed — I'll draw him out and surpass him with speed! You tattooed monk who's about to sink, your weapon is your back moves, so I'll step onto your stage and destroy you! And... and!"
At this point, Rin had lost all traces of rationality; he didn't care what the most effective attack route would be.
His objective was crystal clear — destroy every obstacle in his path!
"He's past them, he's past them! Blue Lock's Rin Itoshi is showing incredible individual skill... but Mr. Natsuki, is this attacking choice really reasonable?"
"Without a doubt... this kind of attack has no rationality to speak of." The other commentator swallowed hard, as if witnessing a demon incarnate, "But we have to admit, Rin Itoshi's terrifying individual technique has torn a huge gap in the U-20 team's formation."
All spectators fell silent, for in their eyes, Rin's football had crossed completely into the realm of madness.
Ignoring teammates and opponents alike, this was the most arrogant and insane football!
"Pass the ball, Rin!" Yoichi shouted from behind, trying to get his attention.
Rin had broken through multiple defenders and was clearly in front of the goal. If he coordinated with Yoichi, their chances of scoring would increase significantly.
But he couldn't hear a word anyone was saying. Besides destroying his opponents completely, nothing else mattered!
Passing? Impossible!
"How boring, still haven't fixed that drooling habit of yours?" Sae appeared silently before Rin.
His gaze carried a hint of contempt; even knowing his brother had entered a Flow state, he still maintained that look of disdain.
"Bastard brother, you're nothing but a vomit-producing machine! What are you worth? Die, all of you die!" Rin shouted in a frenzy, but with his tongue hanging out, his words were too garbled for anyone to understand.
Now was the stage for their confrontation!
In the next instant, he was already in motion!
He suddenly accelerated, charging straight at Sae.
His brother's weapon was his unmatched technique. Then technique would be used to tear him apart!
"What's this, making that face again." Sae's eyebrow twitched slightly as his body responded, directly marking him.
Rin leaned his body against his brother, using his arm to create space and push away his opponent's body, making room for himself.
In Flow, he became incredibly frenzied and extreme — yet simultaneously, his potential was fully unleashed, maximizing his speed, power, and technique. Moreover, during these three weeks, he had undergone hellish training from Blue Lock, pushing his physical abilities even further!
Now, he was practically an unstoppable killing machine!
However, in terms of overall ability, there remained an insurmountable gap between the two brothers.
Though Sae was pushed aside by Rin's arm, he instantly rotated his body to pressure from another angle, his movements flowing seamlessly.
"Persistent, persistent, damn brother! Die, just die!" Rin's rage burned in his heart as he heel-kicked the ball and spun around, moving to Sae's other side while raising his arm again to create space for breakthrough.
But getting past him wasn't so simple!
Sae raised his hand, blocking Rin's arm while leaning forward to apply more pressure. Provoked by his brother's aggression, he had entered a serious state.
The brothers engaged in several exchanges within moments, though to observers it seemed like mere seconds had passed.
Yet no one dared to interfere. This was a domain others couldn't reach.
"Die die die die! I must tear you apart!"
This single thought consumed Rin's mind, igniting like a spark that set ablaze all the fuel within him. To defeat Sae, he would disregard all consequences — even if it meant shattering himself.
He attempted another heel flick, but his brother didn't fall for it, maintaining his excellent defensive position...
But this too was Rin's feint!
His speed suddenly increased, and as if reading Sae's movements, he reversed direction while dragging his other foot — his motion awkward, balance threatening to break at any moment.
Sae believed his brother couldn't possibly attempt such a move. But he did!
Though he nearly stumbled, with movements devoid of grace, Rin managed to forcefully use his positional advantage to slip past his brother.
In that instant, surprise flashed across Sae's face.
In that moment, Rin had bested Sae! No one could believe their eyes, but it had happened right before them!
"Sae Itoshi has been beaten! In this clash between brothers, Rin Itoshi has finally gained the upper hand!"
The commentator's voice trembled as the stadium fell silent, the crowd stunned by Rin's display.
This was pure, untamed football — irrational yet unstoppable, like a demon rampaging across the field!
"Is it possible? Even a genius can be overcome?" Oliver stood guard in front of the goal, the last defender before the goalkeeper.
Sweat beaded on his forehead as he tracked Rin's every movement with intense focus.
"Such incredible concentration, yet he doesn't even notice the drool?" Oliver analyzed Rin's technique and physical abilities, calculating how to defend against him.
But his analysis left him shocked.
0%. That was his chance of stopping this possessed demon!
"Zero percent? Even for me?" Oliver's heart raced — despite his team's lead, he felt an overwhelming pressure.
If Rin scored now, Blue Lock would tie the game and seize the momentum.
They couldn't allow a goal!
But how could Oliver stop Rin? He was at a loss.
With zero chance of success, any action seemed futile. This demon was truly unstoppable!
He couldn't even buy time.
But just as Oliver approached despair, a figure stepped forward: Ryōsuke Kira.
His mere presence caused Oliver's mental calculations to shift dramatically.
Ryōsuke's capabilities... they defied prediction!
Yet somehow, his appearance filled Oliver with relief.
"Leave it to me." Ryōsuke immediately pressed forward, defending in front of Rin.
His opponent's rampage was even faster and more devastating than before!
In power, speed, and technique, Rin had made remarkable improvements since their last encounter. During these weeks of intense training, he had pushed his physical limits to the extreme — all to exact revenge on Sae and Ryōsuke.
'Ryōsuke Kira, you bastard who needs to die! What are your weapons?! Speed, power, technique! I'll destroy everything about you! I'll devour you whole, Ryōsuke Kira!' Rin's internal screams emerged only as bestial roars.
His actions and demeanor made one thing clear: he wanted to devour Ryōsuke completely, until not even bones remained.
"We've been here before, haven't we?" Ryōsuke watched with a smile while studying his opponent's movements.
Undoubtedly, Rin had grown stronger, his frenzied Flow state making his increased power even more apparent.
Yet in Ryōsuke's eyes, this still posed no threat!
For now, he couldn't use his Transparent World — forcing it would drain him mentally and compromise his condition for the rest of the match.
But he still had his trump card!
This would be a pure battle of speed, power, and technique!
Rin, maintaining his high speed, seemed ready to force his way past Ryōsuke — but suddenly halted!
He was testing his opponent's center of gravity with the abrupt stop.
But Ryōsuke didn't fall for it; he knew exactly what moves Rin might attempt.
'Kill, kill, obliterate!' Rin's emotions surged as he initiated body contact with Ryōsuke, trying to overpower him through sheer physical force.
But this was his gravest mistake.
When he moved close and tried to push Ryōsuke aside, his opponent wouldn't budge an inch — like an immovable boulder.
Despite Rin's vastly improved physical abilities, he still couldn't match Ryōsuke's strength.
But he wouldn't give up easily. Now, to defeat this insect, he would give everything he had.
Rin planted his left foot, desperately maintaining his balance while using his back against Ryōsuke as a pivot point for a quick turn.
Ryōsuke turned with him, moving to block his path. But in that instant, Rin forcefully reversed direction, attempting to break through from another angle—
Not so easy!
Ryōsuke was faster, smoothly returning to his defensive position as Rin made his second turn.
"Great defense!" Oliver couldn't help but praise, "Whether in movement or speed, his teammate was flawless, completely shutting down the opponent's attacking routes."
He wanted to help Ryōsuke double-team him, but he knew this wasn't a domain he could step into right now. The current Rin was a beast driven to madness, ready to tear apart any creature he encountered.
But Ryōsuke was an even more terrifying and massive monster. Only a monster could strangle this beast.
"Pass the ball! Reorganize the attack!" Yoichi desperately shouted from the side. Going one-on-one against Ryōsuke was an incredibly foolish choice.
But Rin wouldn't listen!
'Shut up, shut up, you're so annoying! Die, just die! No matter what, I'll tear you all to pieces! Die, die, everyone die! If I can just score this goal, I can be reborn!'
At this moment, Rin's eyes were fixed solely on Ryōsuke, who had completely sealed off his breakthrough routes. Neither speed nor power could overcome this wall, even with him in his Flow state.
Only one choice remained!
Shoot!
He was within shooting range.
With a feinted turn, Rin created half a body's width of space from Ryōsuke and suddenly raised his foot — attempting to force a shot with his left.
Though his right was dominant, making this left-footed attempt incredibly risky, Rin had no choice but to stake everything on it!
This shot would herald his rebirth!
But when his toe touched the ball...
"Don't even think about shooting."
In that instant, Ryōsuke was already pressed against him.
Against any ordinary player, the half-body advantage Rin had gained through his reverse turn would have been enough space to get a shot off. But he'd chosen the wrong opponent.
Rin remained firmly in Ryōsuke's hunting ground!
In a lightning flash, that half-body advantage vanished.
"You want to devour me? Think you can handle it?" Ryōsuke's voice rang in his ear.
Bang!
Rin kicked the ball hard, but it didn't travel even a meter before Ryōsuke's foot blocked it.
Successful clearance!
The ball flew out of bounds, and though Blue Lock still had a throw-in opportunity, their attack had completely lost its momentum.
This moment made them realize once again a terrifying fact:
Ryōsuke Kira was a monster beyond common sense!
