Blue Lock episode 13 will see Isagi, Bachira, and Nagi face off against the trio of the three top-ranked players from the Blue Lock Project - Itoshi Rin, Aryu Jyubei, and Tokimitsu Aoshi.

In the previous episode, Isagi was planning to not have their match with the trio. However, after heating Itoshi, he had the intuitive feeling to challenge him and his team.

Given that Itoshi was confident in his abilities, he did not back down from the challenge, setting up the first Deathmatch in the third round of the second selection.

Fans may finally get to see the full extent of Itoshi Rin's abilities. Not to forget that Aryu Jyubei, and Tokimitsu Aoshi are ranked second and third as well.

What happened last time?

Blue Lock episode 12, titled Second Selection, saw Isagi having to make a team of three in the second round of Second Selection after he managed to score 100 goals in the first challenge within the assigned time.

Surprisingly, Seishiro Nagi wanted Isagi to join him and Reo Mikage. However, Isagi rejected the proposal given he had already teamed up with Bachira. Thus, Nagi offered to join them, and Isagi accepted the offer. Reo Mikage was evidently left upset by the situation.

Soon after, as the new trio headed for the third stage, they encountered Itoshi Rin, Aryu Jyubei, and Tokimitsu Aoshi. The third round was a 3v3 deathmatch, and the losing team would lose one of their players to the winning team. Irrespective of the circumstances, Isagi decided to play the 3v3 match against Itoshi's team.
