Blue Lock episode 16 will most likely see Isagi, Barou, and Nagi have more interactions with each other as fans will get to see their relationship dynamic and how Isagi will end up having to become the mediator between his two genius teammates.

Meanwhile, given that the trio have now reached the third stage of the second selection, they could encounter a new three-man team of Kunigami, Chigiri, and Reo as the two teams may establish a match against each other.

While the latter team will be looking for some revenge, Isagi, Nagi, and Barou will want to add one of the opposing team members to their roster.

Blue Lock episode 15, titled Devour, saw Isagi struggling to make an impact when he observed Naruhaya's weapon and successfully devoured it. After making use of an off-the-ball run and blind spot, the former was able to run past Barou to stay clear of him and score the winning goal in the match.

After the game, Naruhaya acknowledged Isagi as a genius of adaptability and wished him luck in the future. Meanwhile, the latter and Nagi chose Barou as their new teammate.
