Blue Lock episode 15, titled Devour, saw Isagi struggling to make an impact when he observed Naruhaya's weapon and successfully devoured it. After making use of an off-the-ball run and blind spot, the former was able to run past Barou to stay clear of him and score the winning goal in the match.

After the game, Naruhaya acknowledged Isagi as a genius of adaptability and wished him luck in the future. Meanwhile, the latter and Nagi chose Barou as their new teammate.
