Blue Lock episode 6 will see Yoichi Isagi and Team Z preparing for their match against Team W. It hasn't been announced if the match will begin in episode 6, however, it seems like Isagi will have a huge part to play in the next episode, given how he is the top-ranked player in Team Z.

In episode 5, Isagi managed to grab the winning goal against Team Y, helping the team in their comeback win. We also learned about Chigiri's ACL injury. While he does want to play, he is too scared to get injured again, and thus hopes to soon leave the Blue Lock Project. However, in the final moments of episode 5, he, too, seemed to get encouraged by Isagi.


What happened last time?

Blue Lock episode 5, titled To Be Reborn, saw the match between Team Z and Team Y resuming after Gagamaru's equalizer in episode 4. Isagi made sure to man-mark Niko; when in the final minute, Team Y had all their players join the attack. Just as Niko played the final pass to Ohkawa, Isagi managed to intercept the pass and started a counter-attack, immediately joining the attack.

Bachira crossed the ball into the penalty box which everyone thought was for Gagamaru, however, he missed and Isagi struck the ball into the net. With Team Z having won the game, Isagi instinctively enjoyed being the one responsible for knocking out the other team.

Later, Chigiri helped Isagi identify his speciality which could be him being able to "smell a goal." Isagi even learned about Chigiri's ACL injury, however, Chigiri didn't want to share much about it.

Later, Team Z learned about their next opponents, Team W and the new Blue Lock rankings, in which Isagi was ranked first among his teammates, which gave a boost to his teammates to work harder, while Chigiri looked at them from afar.
