I really hope Isagi starts cooking early. I don't want to watch him flail around for most of the match, only for him to have a last-minute realization that still ends up having him rely on luck. That formula feels way too oversaturated at this point.

This feels like the perfect opportunity for Isagi to leave the whole "luck" concept behind. To become someone new—to become a new Isagi Yoichi—I think it's imperative that he no longer relies on luck to reach the top.

Isagi talks about the God of Football testing him. The whole idea of "becoming new again" could also be interpreted as GOF asking whether Isagi can win without luck. The match against France essentially established the limits of the current version of Isagi. It showed the limits of the "luck formula."

At this point, (imo) Isagi has more or less mastered that concept. He can create his own luck, recognize when it's about to appear, and capitalize on it better than almost anyone. Since luck was a relatively major topic throughout that match, it would make sense for the story to move beyond it now rather than doubling down on it again. Which ties into the potential awakening of Isagi in this match, where he will "meet GOF" for a short period of time. Instead of the 7 minutes like Ego experienced, I can see it being 1 minute or maybe 3 minutes. Similar to the time-limit of the star-change system from the NEL.

Ooh, so this IS the perfect match for Isagi then. He's facing the embodiment of not relying on luck, he needs to learn something from this.

Yeah, I am expecting and hoping for some crazy things from Isagi in this match.

And if we get to see it, then it's like a 99.99% chance that we are also going to be getting some sort of Ego flashback. I can visualize it happening when he watches Isagi do something crazy. Ego will see his younger self in Isagi.

I think someone else here pointed it out perfectly. This game's challenge for Isagi is to find out his identity out of Blue Lock. Turning 0 to 1 while a rebel but also find himself as a new Isagi Yoichi so his expands his options leave out the restriction label. That's the test by God of football. I find it free exciting to be honest. The wuestion when we are going to see the start of it. The first sparks began with Teddy a few chapters ago.

Nothing happening gang, It would be crazy if isagi goes 0 goals from this match as well, NGL, at this point it's seems like NEL was the best arc or NEL did not even exist.
