The Final Piece Isagi leads Team Z down the pitch, and using his foresight, he finds a spot to the left of Chigiri and Kunigami in front of the net correctly anticipating that Team V would send their defenders to mark them. However, he failed to notice Nagi marking him. After going through his thought process, Isagi decides to risk it all with the final shot, and scores the match-winning goal. With the first selection completed, everybody on Team V and Team Z advances for finishing first and second, while Junichi Wanima, Niko, and Barou advance for being the leading scorers on the eliminated teams. In preparation for the second selection, Ego has the remaining strikers undergo physical conditioning. Sometime later, the remaining strikers gather, and Ego reveals that Building 5 is the only one at Blue Lock and the other four are ficticious in order to get everybody to experience inferiority. He then explains that the first selection was about understanding what being a striker is about, and the second selection will be a series of individual challenges in five stages in which only five strikers will make it through to the end, and these five will be given a spot on the national team.
