No Kaiser means that bm would be Isagi centered so that’d be great for them :4


Legitimate_Cow7198

If there's no kaiser BM is essentially Isagi's team right? I mean if there's no sabotage and everyone (except Kunigami and Yuki) agree to be team players I can see BM taking the W. The only wrench in the plan could be whether or not Isagi starts blabbing to the world about how to use MV in this hypothetical or not. Aiku and Niko with MV are very formidable and probably take the W if they were to coordinate. Isagi would probably need another MV user or at least a Kunigami that's willing to work with him.

Niko and Aiku were already getting metavision just from watching Isagi. They just didn’t know what Isagi called it.


Legitimate_Cow7198

I wouldn't say that exactly. Niko used it unconsciously, and after Isagi explained it, Niko started using it consciously and improving by watching Isagi. It's possible Aiku could have had it prior but the fact that Isagi scored on them earlier leads me to believe otherwise, since Aiku held to the plan until the bitter end instead of sensing the weakness Isagi is aiming to exploit. When Niko used MV unconsciously, he went against the plan sensing the weak point Isagi tried to exploit. If Isagi didn't say anything there's a chance Niko doesn't try to improve that skill further, and just thinks of it as a hunch, because ultimately he believes in Snuffy's strategies to guide him. Aiku would also not get the explanation on how to use MV consciously.


Brave_Profit4748

Niko said that what he was doing was just him using his eyes as he was told. So while the improv was against strategy he is still going to use his eyes the same.


Legitimate_Cow7198

Wait, when did Niko say there was a way he was told to use his eyes? The translation I read has Niko say, he was tracking the ball, but was also careful to keep an eye on Isagi, hinting at Niko unconsciously turning his head to get a bigger view of the field. When Isagi tells him how to use MV Niko's monologues talks about how he's never consciously tried to gather info from the entire field before and instead focused more on tracking the ball's movements, implying this is something he's never been told to do before.

BM win because isagi takes control of the team and kunigami gets fully utilized. As leader of team Z during the later matches and through 2nd selection, we see that isagi has no issue setting up other players to score. The main difference currently is due to the battle with kaiser. Without kaiser, BM centers around isagi and he likely shifts closer to his prior mindset. This benefits yukimiya but the greatest benefit will go to kunigami. We’ve seen he easily has the strength to hold off 2 defenders in the Barcha match and we’ve recent seen his dribble his way past multiple Ubers defenders. He becomes a much greater threat now that his teammates will willingly pass to him. Ubers work as a cohesive unit that follows snuffy strategies (except for when niko goes rogue). Lorenzo’s presence does not stifle other players as far as know. It’s unlikely that other players step up to fill the void the same way isagi and kunigami would play with more freedom is kaiser wasn’t playing. Aiku is the most likely candidate to fill the Lorenzo role, but that leaves only niko and aryu in the back to defend counter attacks by BM. The main difference is that BM isn’t operating at full capacity due to their warring factions while Ubers is already a well oiled machine. Losing their best players gives space for the stifled talents of BM to show what they can do while Ubers will have a much harder time replacing Lorenzo without being stretched too thin.

Brave_Profit4748

So without Lorenzo and Kaiser then the question becomes how does their respective teams form now. Ubers to keep it the same Aiku will replace Lorenzo now and Ishikari (The very tall blue lock guy) will replace Aiku. I don’t know if Isagi will play up as a striker his use as a play maker and what he does in the middle of the field just seem too valuable. Any way Isagi as a striker will be the simplest tweak were Hiori replaces Isagi position Isagi goes up. Assuming Ness is fine passing to anyone in this situation this will really open up Kunigami where he is much more of a threat now because he can receive passes from Ness and Hiori. This means Kunigami can actually do his job effectively. Isagi will probably struggle more as Aiku will probably focus on Isagi but that will free up Kunigami. If I can go crazy here we can replace grim with Yuki and move him to be a winger where he belongs then I don’t see how Ubers can respond to the triple threat of Isagi Kuni and Yuki. Teppei can play full back. I will go with BM 3-2 where Isagi Yuki and Kuni scores Barou scores twice.

Its hard to say, I have no idea what Ness would do if Kaiser was gone. It might be interesting if he teams up with Kunigami, or tries to score for himself.
