| The selection for the U-20 has been set and neither Barou nor Reo made it but Isagi certainly did as well as Gagamaru as a monkey goalkeeper and the rest of expected players. Shidou was left aside for bad conduct because you can't play a match with someone that can literally kick another player in the face on purpose and expect a good outcome unless the referee is on your side. Coincidentally though he was picked up by Sae which makes sense considering his play style. Something I did not understand though is why Ego didn't reveal who the substitution are gonna be. I mean, he knows that he has to put people in the bench in case someone gets injured or there needs to be a tactical change, right? In any case, for the first time in the series he gave a somewhat cohesive speech about the flow state, something that is actually accurate. While I don't agree that is the defining factor behind good plays and scoring, you could apply that to the way one can perform in certain activities. In fact, many video games revolve around that state for that matter manifested in examples like Celeste or The Messenger once you get good enough. Does this mean that no more bullshit analogies will come in the future? Absolutely not. Side note: maybe the fact that this episode was better received came also from the fact that no matches were being played for people to complain about the animation. |

| Loved how Isagi got selected at the literal last spot, chills. Also loved how Sae selected Readhead instead of Rin, Rin's jealousy expression was priceless! Excited for the upcoming episodes! Especially the upcoming match!! |
| Of course Yoichi is in the team to play against the U20, okay they need some flow aka extremely high concentration... basically don't become a tiktok scroller |

good ep and another funny extra time.
weird they didn't mention that the rest of them would be their subs for the game? the only mention of subs was of the other striker that they no longer have in their squad lol.
At the end of the Nagi movie seemed like Reo was a sub, idunno tho, would be good to feel like the other characters we've come to know are still included the squad somehow...even if they're unlikely to actually play. If we do see a sub or two in this game I feel like it's likely be Reo and/or Barou

| @JVskunkape well they all are strikers so depending on the way the u20 plays they will have to stay flexible so it doesn't really make sense to have subs. Shidou also was like a joker if nothing works, doesn't mean he would definitely be sub |

| @Girlhinata13 hmmm, I guess since they didn't cover it we don't really know how it will work, I wonder if they will stick with that 11 all game tho or if we will see others also play. I feel like Leo and Barou are too popular and had too much focus leading up til now to then not play in this huge match. I think if there are any subs or if they can freely change their line up as they want or something, I'm sure they will play in some capacity. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| So peak edginess just runs in the Itoshi family, doesn't it🤣? It's in their genes. And there was something so satisfying about Shidou giving Rin a good nose bleed. |
Born to shoujo, forced to shounen. |
| The way Shidou got locked up like he was a Joker got me laughing so hard LMAO The way Rin talked about facing Sae are so Edgy HAHAHAHA Wait, are we sure those CB from Japan U-20 aren't in their 30s? They sure look old lol |
 |
| There was no reason to put Shidou under that much security ngl. It’s giving Bakugou lol |
 |
| Knowing that yoshida will play against them is exciting, honestly the other u 20 team doesn't excite me, seeing as we don't know jack shit about them lolz. |
