Blue Lock Season 2 Episode 1, titled 'Tryouts,' saw Ego Jinpachi reveal the top six players of Blue Lock and how he plans on using them as the foundation for the Blue Lock Eleven team. As for the rest of the players, he offered them a one-match tryout to showcase their assertion and coexistence while playing alongside top six players.

For this, all 29 players were to pick which duo of strikers they wished to play alongside. The only player allowed to pick two teams was Meguru Bachira, the seventh-ranked player. Isagi was confused over whom he should pick between Rin and Nagi's team. But after an exchange with Reo Mikage, Isagi chose to play alongside Rin and Shidou.

Blue Lock Season 2 Episode 2 will most likely showcase Yoichi Isagi's tryout match alongside Rin Itoshi and Ryusei Shidou. As fans must know from the promotional materials that were released previously, the two other players that Isagi will play alongside are Hiori Yo and Nanase Nijiro. Therefore, the upcoming episode will likely introduce fans to them as well.

Considering Rin and Shidou's chemistry, there is also a chance that the two strikers would get into a fight during the tryout match.
