Isagi Yoichi is a talented and promising young striker in Blue Lock. He was initially weak and underrated. However, his adaptability allowed him to evolve over time.
Isagi has displayed impressive performances, from the First Selection to the Neo Egoist League. He is able to inspire players, but he also makes others feel threatened thanks to his genius on the pitch.
In Neo Egoist League, Isagi joined the Bastard Munchen team, mentored by Noel Noa. So, why did Isagi choose this team over others? Check out the following discussion to find out!
Isagi Deeply Admires Noel Noa
From the beginning of the story, it has been explained that Isagi greatly admires Noel Noa, who is considered the number one striker in the world. He is one of the reasons that motivates Isagi to become a great striker.
Because Noel Noa joined Bastard Munchen, this was also one of Isagi's considerations in joining the team. He could meet Noa in person and gain new knowledge from him.
Isagi's Playing Style Fits Bastard Munchen Well
Isagi isn't the type to make rash decisions. He does admire Noel Noa, but that wasn't the only reason he wanted to join Bastard Munchen.
Before the Neo Egoist League began, Ego had explained that each team has its own philosophy and principles. For example, Bastard Munchen is a team that highly values rationality in football.
This philosophy perfectly suits Isagi, who often relies on strategy and his genius in the game. If he joins Bastard Munchrn, he could evolve to become even more powerful than before.
Isagi's Challenges in Bastard Munchen
Joining Bastard Munchen wasn't easy for Isagi. He faced new challenges because the team was on a different level. Understandably, they were made up of professional players.
Isagi had no choice but to catch up to them to keep up with their game. He also needed to prove his worth to earn Noa's trust and play on the field.
One of Isagi's biggest challenges on the Bastard Munchen team was Michael Kaiser. He constantly tried to trip and block Isagi's path. Rather than giving up, Isagi was eager to surpass Kaiser.
