After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World Cup, Japans team struggles to regroup. But whats missing?

An absolute Ace Striker, who can guide them to the win.

The Football Association is hell-bent on creating a striker who hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, and who can be the decisive instrument in turning around a losing match...and to do so, theyve gathered 300 of Japans best and brightest youth players. Who will emerge to lead the team...and will they be able to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in their way?

In the second selections "rival battles," where the winners are able to take one of the losers from their team, Isagi and Nagi have just lost Bachira to Rin Itoshi and the other top strikers. Now they have to prove the strength of their individual abilities in a fight against Shouei Barou, the top scoring player in Wing 5. If they lose, theyll be at risk of disqualification...

As Isagi takes the fight to King Barou, hes aiming to end up on the side of the prodigies!
