The Third Selection Begins! Nagi vs Loki Incoming! Blue Lock Episode Nagi Chapter 32 Spoilers!

In the previous Blue Lock Episode Nagi chapter, Nagi secures the goal for Team White as Isagi’s phantom looms over his and Barou’s minds.

Blue Lock Episode Nagi Chapter 32 is titled, “To You Who Will Die Someday!”

This chapter has 48 pages.

The chapter cover shows the four members of Red Team (Aiki Himizu, Tabito Karasu, Eito Otoya, and Jin Kiyora) that are shocked by this turn of events as Zantetsu hops on Nagi’s back, cheering on his team’s victory.

Nagi checks on Chigiri’s leg while Chigiri remarks on Nagi showing off for that goal shot.

Nagi says that this showing off was not pointless and that the goal was the shape of his and Barou’s dream

Chigiri asks who they should steal from the Red Team to complete the five-man team for the Third Selection.

Zantetsu votes for Karasu due to him being the team’s smartest player and a needed asset for Team White, who view themselves as four idiots.

However, Nagi, while in his aura, refuses to split up “Spiky Karasu” and “Ninja Otoya” because the most amazing thing about this match was their pairing and he wants to fight them again, so he hopes to see them become stronger.

Both Otoya and Karasu view this as pity but Nagi disagrees, saying that if the duo are frustrated with him, they should come crush him, as Nagi’s invitation is the privilege of a victor.

Recalling Isagi’s words about how frustration makes ego grow, Nagi chooses Kiyora to join the five-man team.

This is to live up to Isagi’s words, by making himself the nucleus of frustration.

Nagi wants to groom Kiyora into becoming a rival to make himself stronger in turn.

Himizu is appalled by Nagi’s “psychological abuse” towards Kiyora.

Otoya thinks that Nagi might actually be a nice guy.

In frustration, the crow Karasu says that Nagi’s naivete will push him into despair, so Otoya agrees that they should make Nagi regret his words by growing stronger together to crush him in the future.

Karasu pats Otoya on the head.

Karasu, Otoya, and Himizu will return to the 3 vs. 3 stage.

48 hours earlier, we go back to the Second Selection 2 vs. 2 match of Shidou and Igarashi vs Reo and Kunigami.

Reo and Igaguri clash as the latter passes the ball to Shidou, who faces off against Kunigami.

Kunigami thinks he has the upper hand in making Shidou’s stance waver but instead, Shidou glides behind Kunigami, saying that he will smash common sense and justice, and he secures the goal.

Team Red 2 – 5 Team White

Igaguri’s team has won, with Reo surprised to see this loss and how much of a monster Shidou is, a different type of prodigy from Nagi, with Shidou as a demon prodigy.

Reo thinks about the options they have, wondering if Kunigami should have done a better job at covering Shidou or if Reo could have taken the foul to lock Igaguri down.

Reo realizes that he lost because he came into the field being indecisive and now he worries that everything with Nagi will end here.

Now Team White gets to decide who they will take on their team, with Shidou joyously deciding the fate of who he will spare and that is Reo, much to the latter’s horror.

This was Shidou’s way to tame Reo’s ego and control him.

Telling Reo not to play the optimistic hero, Shidou leaves, declaring that humans who cannot destroy themselves can never make explosions.

Reo apologizes to Kunigami but Reo knows that he was just a loser who was spared on a demon’s whim.

Returning to the present, Team White, with Kiyora in tow, head for the entrance to the Second Selection Clear Room as Chigiri tells the team that they won because each of them grew stronger in their own way.

Blue Lock’s general director, Jinpachi Ego, appears on the screen to congratulate his “lumps of talent” and asks Team White now that they have tasted defeat and managed to climb back up, he asks a question:

What is it that only humans know?

While Chigiri and Zantetsu barely answer, Kiyora says “Love”, Barou says “God”, while Nagi says “Dreams”, the correct answer is something even more fundamental, “the reality that they will die someday”.

Ego explains that animals know their companions die and know pain from their own bodies but they do not live with the idea that death will come for them too.

So animals eat, sleep, and create offspring, acting out the program of life.

This seems to be based on Martin Heidegger’s concept of being (Dasein) in his book “Being and Time” and how your being is essentially tied to knowing your own death, rather than take it as mere fact.

Visualized with a glowing skull behind a man, Ego shows that humans know their time is limited and so they create gods, religion, to save them from the fear of death and any relationships beyond survival are called “love”.

Self-actualization and proof of existence are called “dreams”.

All three answers are correct but they tie back to one core truth: the energy humans use to confront their imminent deaths.

Ego lets them think back to how they managed to win the Second Selection after losing.

Nagi answers, saying that it is because “Death” was close, which is correct as the Second Selection was designed with the specific intent to make the players feel the loss of their comrades, to teach players to not be careless or else they are the next to “die”.

to escape that fear, the players would be forced to adapt and change and open the doors to their egos to realize their dreams.

Ego asks again that, knowing they will die someday, both figuratively in their soccer careers and literally in life, what are their dreams for soccer.

Nagi reflects on how he got stronger and how, in this struggle and as he was about to lose, he understood his feelings about Reo and the new fire in him that makes Nagi feel confident that he can defeat Isagi.

Meanwhile in the shower, Reo mopes about his loss and being spared by Shidou, not wanting to go on like this.

Reo is saddened that for the first time since he started Blue Lock, he was truly alone, so Reo resolves to get stronger on his own instead of using others (or to be used by others like Shidou).

Back to Ego, the Third Selection is announced and it is a “kill on sight” event.

A five-on-five match against World All-Stars

The five-man team of Team World 5 that White Team are up against is made up of Julian Loki,  Julian Loki, Leonardo Luna, Adam Blake, Pablo Cavasoz, and Dada Silva.

Blue Lock Episode Nagi Chapter 33 will be released on April 7, 2025.
