Start of the Second Selection
- Ego Jinpachi announces theΒ 5-stage elimination challenge, where players must progress individually. The top performers will earn a chance to play against world-class strikersΒ 13.
- Rin ItoshiΒ (later revealed as Sae Itoshi’s brother) is the first to enter, demonstrating exceptional skill by curving two balls into a midair collision. His display intimidates Team Z, but Isagi rallies them with a confidence-boosting huddle before entering the first stageΒ 134.
