Meanwhile, Reo, Chigiri, and Kunigami might show off their chemical reactions in Blue Lock episode 17 as Reo's dexterity allows Chigiri and Kunigami to run wild on the field, allowing them to perform counter-attacks swiftly. Thus, the upcoming episode could also feature Nagi and Reo taking on each other.

Blue Lock episode 16, titled Tri-Fusion, saw Isagi and Nagi train with Barou as they tried to copy Barou's strict training regimen. Later, as Isagi tried to understand Barou's ideal playstyle, he dismissed the question, revealing he was fine with any playstyle as long as he scored.

Isagi, Nagi, and Barou also happened to meet Reo, Chigiri, and Kunigami, marking the first confrontation between Nagi and Reo ever since the two separated. Reo's team challenged Isagi's team for a match in the third stage, which they accepted.
