Isagi has recently started to learn the harsh truths about participating in the Blue lock project. Not only will he be forced to allow his selfish desires to take over him, but also forget everything he knows about football.

Still, despite his initial complaints, the boy is quickly adapting to his new lifestyle. Bachira revealing that he has the same egoist monster living inside helped Isagi accept his new reality.

Sadly, the young athlete will soon realize that he is not the only one who allows his egotism to control him. The first selection tournament is about to begin, which will be the first real test for Team Z. According to Jinpachi’s words, it will be significantly harder for them to win, as they are considered the worst players in the project.

Without a good strategy or the desire to win, Yoichi and his teammates will be out of the competition in the blink of an eye. Thankfully for Team Z, they have two of the most egotistical players in Blue Lock. Isagi may try to contain his monster, but with Bachira around, he has no reason to hold back any longer.

Blue Lock episode 3 will most likely introduce us to the first opponents that Team Z will face in this first selection. We will meet many new characters. It is probable that fans will get the first few of the soccer matches between Team Z and their adversaries.

Blue Lock episode 2 began with Yoichi apologizing to Ryosuke for having hit him with the ball in the first episode. Ryosuke tried to argue with Jinpachi that a game of tag had nothing to do with football. The creator of the project proved to him how wrong he was and asked him to leave the premises. Moments later, Yoichi and his teammates had to go through a physical exam.

Scared to be second to last, Isagi decided to train alone during the night but was surprised by Bachira. The two talked about their monsters, an allegory for their strong egoist desires.

The next day, Jinpachi revealed that the players would partake in a tournament to see who could remain in the project. The episode ended with the introduction of Sae Itoshi, a prodigy interested in Ego’s project.
