Blue Lock episode 21 will most likely feature Itoshi Rin exercising control over the field, as he will most likely take over the role as a pivot and set everyone in his team in such a way that it makes it possible for him to score goals. However, considering how Itoshi isn't as focused on just scoring goals, fans could see him assisting his teammates in an outrageous fashion as well.

Meanwhile, Isagi could also possibly try to take control of the field as he tries to defeat Itoshi. Given how Chigiri and Nagi have also displayed their skills, Barou could come up with his own way to surprise everyone.


Recap of Blue Lock episode 20

Blue Lock episode 20, titled Super Link-Up Play, saw the match between Isagi and Itoshi's teams begin as Isagi and Barou together stole the ball from Bachira to set up Nagi to assist Chigiri in scoring the first goal.

Following that, Itoshi controlled the field to score the equalizing goal. Soon after, Bachira displayed his own brilliance as he gave a long pass to Aryu Jyubei, who headed the ball mid-air.

However, in the end, Nagi got fired up as he channeled his runs in such a way that he was able to get past the opposition's defence. What shocked everyone was his two-stage fake volley.
