Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

BAROU/I: How?

BAROU/I: How have I been brought to my knees without even scoring once?

BAROU/I: I'm supposed to be the king of the field.

BAROU/I: I... used to play the lead on the field.

Flashback/Overlap,BOY A: Y-You're amazing, Barou-kun.

BAROU/I: I had talent.

Flashback/Overlap,BOY B: I'm so happy you're on my team!

BAROU/I: Everyone else was in a supporting role.

Flashback/Overlap,YOUNG BAROU: You all need to move so I can score.

Flashback/Overlap,BOY A: Sure thing!

Flashback/Overlap,BOY B: We're invincible now!

FlashbackYOUNG BAROU/I: They're happy even though they're just the supporting cast.

FlashbackYOUNG BAROU/I: Why do they even play soccer?

Flashback/Overlap,YOUNG BAROU: I am the king.

BAROU/I: I gave up trying to understand others, and pursued my own style of soccer.

BAROU/I: Then, it hit me. I didn't like soccer because I got to feel like a king.

BAROU/I: And it obviously wasn't because I loved kicking a ball around.

BAROU/I: I liked it because I could grab someone who'd dedicated their whole life to soccer

BAROU/I: and drag them off the stage and out of the spotlight with my goals.

BAROU/I: I found myself playing to taste that exhilaration.

BAROU/I: I know, more than anyone...

BAROU/I: that it's a feeling of incomparable joy,

BAROU/I: only available to the truly strong.

NAGI: If they score next, we lose, Isagi.

NAGI: It's our ball. Let's go get one.

ISAGI: Yeah, let's start our comeback here—

BAROU: Go on!

KUNIGAMI: For real?!

CHIGIRI: A direct sh*t?

BAROU: Ah, damn it!

REO: Kunigami, the loose ball!

KUNIGAMI: Right!

KUNIGAMI: Let's go, Reo! Time for a swift counter—

NAGI: Just you try it, Kunigami Gains-kun.

KUNIGAMI/I: Man, he was on me fast!

REO: Over here, Kunigami! We can't lose it so close to the goal!

KUNIGAMI: Nice, Reo. All yours!

REO/I: What?

REO/I: He read my movement?

REO/I: I won't...

REO/I: let you have it all your own way!

NAGI: Loose ball.

BAROU/I: It's finally here.

BAROU/I: My big chance to become the lead.

BAROU/I: The ideal zone for my sh*t is wide open.

BAROU/I: If I eat up the last few meters with my first touch,

BAROU/I: I can hit a precise sh*t toward goal!

CHIGIRI: You're one step short, King.

CHIGIRI: I'm faster.

BAROU/I: Bastard.

BAROU/I: If I take a touch, he'll catch up to me!

BAROU/I: Damn, damn, damn!

BAROU/I: What do I do? Do I sh**t even though I'm not in range?

BAROU/I: Damn it!

BAROU/I: My ideal zone is right there!

BAROU/I: I'm one step...

BAROU/I: too short.

ISAGI/I: Give me the ball.

ISAGI: That was a nice pass, donkey.

ISAGI: You need to move so I can score.

BAROU/I: What is this feeling?

BAROU/I: This despair that's gripping my heart?

BAROU/I: Is it defeat?

BAROU/I: I didn't make that pass myself.

BAROU/I: It was forced out of me.

BAROU/I: In that moment, I lost to Isagi Yoichi.

Flashback/Overlap,BAROU: Don't stand in my way.

Flashback/Overlap,BAROU: Or I'll k*ll you.

Flashback/Overlap,BAROU: You have no talent.

Flashback/Overlap,BAROU: Do you want the king to personally crush you?

Flashback/Overlap,BAROU: Go back to sleep, average Joe.

Flashback/Overlap,BAROU: I'll decide what I do.

Flashback/Overlap,BAROU: I'd rather die than play for someone else.

Flashback/Overlap,YOUNG BAROU: You all need to move so I can score.

BAROU/I: In that moment, he was the lead,

BAROU/I: and soccer didn't exist to serve me.

BAROU/I: I wasn't a king at all.

CHIGIRI: Isagi's unstoppable right now.

KUNIGAMI: The next play will be the last.

REO: Keep Isagi from getting the ball at all costs.

CHIGIRI: Right. I don't think we can stop him if he gets it.

REO: It's our ball at the restart, so we'll kick off the last play.

REO: We will score the next goal and win.

REO: If they take the ball from us, we lose.

CHIGIRI: In that case, let's use my speed.

CHIGIRI: Right now, that route gives us the best possibility of scoring.

KUNIGAMI: Okay, that's the general plan, then.

REO: If we want to bet everything on the last sh*t, it's our best option.

REO: We will win this.

CHIGIRI: Yeah.

KUNIGAMI: It's all I'm here for.

ISAGI: It's their ball at the restart.

ISAGI: Before anything else, we have to get the ball.

NAGI: Yup.

NAGI: But we gotta watch out for Chigiri.

NAGI: Even if we mark him, he can outrun us in a foot race.

NAGI: And if he controls it like he did earlier, his speed won't drop at all.

NAGI: If we start our sprints at the same time, there's no way we can b*at him.

ISAGI: In that case...

ISAGI: We have to stop him before that.

NAGI: You have a plan?

ISAGI: Yeah, I'll stick on Reo and—

NAGI: Wait, hold on.

NAGI: Do we want to share this with him?

NAGI: It's easier to defend with three of us, and if we concede next, we're done.

ISAGI: It's pointless saying anything to a dethroned king.

ISAGI: You and I will decide how this last play turns out.

NAGI: All right.

REO/I: Their defense is focused on blocking the route to Chigiri?

REO/I: While the route to Kunigami is pretty much wide open?

REO/I: Which means they don't care if I pass it that way.

REO/I: Damn. I want to use Chigiri's speed,

SIGN: Dribble

SIGN: Dribble

REO/I: but like this, any pass to him will put him at a disadvantage.

SIGN: Pass

SIGN: Pass

SIGN: Disadvantage

SIGN: Disadvantage

REO/I: And Nagi is laser-focused on marking Chigiri.

REO/I: They've seen through our tactic completely.

REO: Kunigami!

KUNIGAMI/I: So I'm not a thr*at, huh?

KUNIGAMI/I: But what do we do?

KUNIGAMI/I: Any less-than-perfect pass is too risky.

KUNIGAMI/I: Should I try b*ating Barou?

KUNIGAMI/I: No, that's also way too risky.

KUNIGAMI: Reo, go again!

REO/I: It won't work. Kunigami and I can't go on the att*ck here.

REO/I: No. What the hell am I thinking?

REO/I: I'm gonna b*at this guy!

REO/I: I will force open...

REO/I: the route to Chigiri!

REO/I: Not yet.

REO/I: Draw him in.

REO/I: I don't need to get past him.

REO/I: A clear path is all I need.

REO/I: One moment will do!

REO/I: I see it!

REO: Run!

CHIGIRI: Okay!

REO/I: I win, Isagi Yoichi!

CHIGIRI/I: Leave it all to me!

CHIGIRI/I: This guy...

CHIGIRI/I: Where's he going?

REO/I: He's charging down my pass. Surely he's not...

REO/I: Knowing he can't b*at Chigiri for speed, he's trying to... intercept my pass himself?

ISAGI: Nice pass, Reo.

ISAGI: That's what we were waiting for.

REO/I: Huh? You're kidding.

REO/I: This whole situation was part of his plan?

REO/I: If he doesn't get a touch on the ball, Chigiri will get it and it's game over.

ISAGI: Reach it.

REO/I: They've taken such a huge gamble in the last minutes of the match?

NAGI: Aw, man. That was super close.

REO: L-Loose ball!

ISAGI: Let's go, donkey.

KUNIGAMI: Bring it, King!

BAROU/I: Once I'd accepted this thing called defeat,

BAROU/I: it became crystal clear to me that this field is shining for his goals.

BAROU/I: Strangely, I'm fine with it.

BAROU/I: Maybe because I'm no longer the lead.

NAGI: This way!

NAGI: I'm here, too!

BAROU/I: This guy...

CHIGIRI: Hold up, you bastard!

CHIGIRI: I won't let you have it all your own way, genius!

NAGI: You again, Meddling Missy?

BAROU/I: I've never felt like this before.

BAROU/I: They're taunting me with all these routes to scoring.

BAROU/I: And showing me that, in my supporting role, I can make a pass and we can win.

BAROU/I: I can be a vital piece in our next goal.

BAROU/I: You two are shining too damn bright for me.

BAROU/I: Damn. So that's what it was about.

BAROU/I: All of the supporting cast who have fed me passes up to now...

BAROU/I: This is how they felt.

BAROU/I: This sense of defeat can only be salvaged...

BAROU/I: by entrusting the goal to the supreme strikers!

BAROU/I: We can win with my pass.

BAROU/I: So this is what being a "team" means.

BAROU/I: This is how I create a chemical reaction with them.

BAROU/I: For the defeated man in the supporting role, this is his reason for existing.

BAROU/I: What's this?

BAROU/I: What's going on?

BAROU/I: What's clinging to me?

BAROU/I: Is this the future that awaits me after this pass?

BAROU/I: I see.

BAROU/I: Entrusting the goal to them...

BAROU/I: might indeed salvage me from this sense of defeat.

BAROU/I: But that's just escapism for those with broken dreams

BAROU/I: who can't bear to deny the lives they've led so far.

BAROU/I: That's right. It's nothing but a loser's excuse.

BAROU/I: I refuse...

BAROU/I: to live in a future...

BAROU/I: like that!

KUNIGAMI/I: A chop feint?!

KUNIGAMI/I: And acute-angle dribbling?!

BAROU/I: The path I need to see is...

ISAGI: Barou!

NAGI: Didn't know he could do that.

REO/I: Tch. This is bad.

REO/I: If he passes to Isagi, we're done for.

REO/I: Which way?

REO/I: Is he looking to dribble past me?

REO/I: No, that motion can only be a pass!

REO/I: What? Consecutive chops?

REO/I: He used Isagi as a decoy?

REO/I: A lightning dribble with cutbacks that don't lessen the power of his run!

REO/I: Is this guy for real?

REO/I: He's evolving at this point in the match?!

KUNIGAMI: Go to him, Chigiri! Barou's not gonna pass now!

BAROU/I: I can see it! I can feel it!

BAROU/I: Now that I know defeat, what I need to see is...

BAROU/I: not some legitimate route that entrusts the goal to the lead,

BAROU/I: but the route that only exists for my goal. This...

BAROU/I: twisted path!

CHIGIRI/I: He used Isagi to disguise his next move?

BAROU/I: Hidden behind the light you're throwing out...

BAROU/I: Now it's time for me to devour you!

CHIGIRI/I: These guys are devouring each other!

ISAGI/I: This is Barou's awakening.

ISAGI/I: Devouring each other to get ahead...

ISAGI/I: This is our chemical reaction!

NAGI: Wow, is he gonna pass them all?

BAROU/I: I won't be reduced to a supporting role.

BAROU: Move!

BAROU/I: If you're the lead, I'm more than happy to play the villain who devours your light!

ISAGI: Holy hell, dude.

NAGI: Welcome back, King.

BAROU/I: This twisted path is my new kingly way.

BAROU/I: I am...

BAROU/I: the king!

TopANRI/I: Final score: - .

TopANRI/I: Blue Lock Second Selection, Third Stage: v Rivalry Battle.

ISAGI: Barou!

TopANRI/I: Team White are the winners.

TopANRI/I: Isagi Yoichi.

NAGI: Oh. High five denied.

TopANRI/I: Nagi Seishiro.

TopANRI/I: Barou Shouei.

BAROU: First of all...

BAROU: Take it back.

BAROU: Am I a "donkey"?

ISAGI: Sorry. I was wrong.

ISAGI: You're seriously amazing, man!

BAROU: Tch. Being around you throws me off my game.

NAGI: Nice sh*t.

NAGI: Victory! We won.

ISAGI: Hey, Nagi, you're...

BAROU: Get off me, bastard.

NAGI: Seriously though, those chops were awesome.

NAGI: Why didn't you say you could do that?

BAROU: Can it.

BAROU: It just came to me.

ISAGI: How?

ISAGI: Tell me more about yourself.

BAROU: I always thought the field belonged to me and me alone.

BAROU: It was me versus all the rest.

BAROU: But you two were the first ones to steal the lead role away from me.

BAROU: So in order to survive in Blue Lock,

BAROU: I found a way to dominate the field as the villain.

BAROU: That's all there is to it.

NAGI: Well, the other team was pretty strong.

NAGI: If they'd been mediocre, you wouldn't have felt that way.

BAROU: I guess you're right there.

ISAGI: So that's how this new "chop dribbling" w*apon of yours was born, huh?

ISAGI: Yup. You really are amazing.

BAROU: Whatever.

BAROU: Villain or not, my dream is to become the world's best striker as the king of the field.

BAROU: I won't lose to you ever again, Isagi.

NAGI: Hey, you just called Isagi by his actual name for once.

ISAGI: Huh? Oh.

BAROU: As if anyone's keeping track.

BAROU: You're a real pain in the ass, Mr. Hassle Man.

NAGI: I'm not Mr. Hassle Man. I'm Nagi. Call me by my name, too.

BAROU: Can it, you pest.

NAGI: Hey now. That's rude.

ISAGI: Nagi.

ISAGI: Nice game.

NAGI: Yup.

SIGN: Barou

SIGN:

ANRI: Incredible.

ANRI: Using those chops, he dribbled past three players,

ANRI: and fired a sh*t of unmatched accuracy into the top-right corner.

ANRI: Looking purely at technique, he's one of the top talents in Japan.

ANRI: Barou Shouei-kun.

SIGN: Japan Football Union BL Supervisor

ANRI: Was his awakening in your calculation, Ego-san?

EGO: Nope, not at all. That was all his own talent's doing.

SIGN: Blue Lock Project Representative

ARNI: Huh?

EGO: Listen, Anri-chan.

EGO: Defeat is a simple phenomenon that must exist in the world of competition.

EGO: Even for the world's best striker, it's impossible to win every single match.

EGO: What matters is what you take from the defeat.

EGO: A loser is denied by the field they're playing on.

EGO: For a fighter, there is nothing worse than that despair.

EGO: And yet, many average Joes don't carve this despair into their minds. That's important.

EGO: Denied for their powerlessness and lack of talent,

EGO: they're afraid to acknowledge their mistakes and unconsciously make excuses,

EGO: fantastically unaware they're doing so.

Flashback/Overlap,PLAYER B: No, this is just the beginning.

Flashback/Overlap,PLAYER C: That's right! There is no "game over" in life!

EGO: In order to not feel like it's all been a waste,

EGO: they trick themselves into thinking not giving up is the right answer.

EGO: I call it "dream doping."

SIGN: Live street performance! th Anniversary

EGO: Their goal used to be achieving their dream, but now their goal is the act of chasing after it.

EGO: I have zero interest in the garbage who continue to fool themselves

EGO: by clinging onto the ghost of a dream.

EGO: }If you don't live your life to achieve your dream, it's pointless.

EGO: That's why defeat is the crossroads for your dream.

EGO: What's needed is the strength to fully realize your powerlessness in that moment.

EGO: The ability to feel despair.

EGO: There's a path you can only see once you've given up on the path to your dream.

EGO: And that path leads to your new potential.

EGO: Those who continue to fight in spite of their despair

EGO: are bestowed with the power to achieve their dream.

EGO: Now, all you losers.

EGO: You are at your crossroads.

CHIGIRI/I: We were so close.

CHIGIRI/I: If that pass had got through, I would've scored and we would've won!

KUNIGAMI/I: I wasn't good enough.

KUNIGAMI/I: I didn't stand a chance when they showed their true strength.

KUNIGAMI/I: That's the reality.

REO/I: I lost.

REO/I: Why did I even bother to...

NAGI: So what do you wanna do, Isagi?

BAROU: Right. We gotta pick one.

ISAGI: Yeah.

ISAGI/I: To b*at Rin...

ISAGI/I: and win Bachira back...

ISAGI/I: the teammate I need is...

NAGI: So...

NAGI: Who do you wanna pick?
