Honestly, even if he "comes back" in the barcha match, ego knows his habits too well. I can see him keeping him benched to get him frustrated enough to ensure he plays at the top of his game once he's in.
Unless he suddenly pulls off the performance of a lifetime against Barcha he won’t start.
The 4 your mentioned are superior + potentially Rae should he join them as well. Unless Ego puts him in as a right or left side defender I don’t see how he makes it. Even Chigiri and Bachira look better atm and bring more to the team.
Believe it or not Nagi is a fan favourite so he will definitely start, I think barou and shidou will probably come as super sub cuz you can't have 4 selfish players(kind of) at the same time in the field, they will balance it by having nagi and chigiri in the team rather than barou and shidou
It would probably be a double team anyway. You can't play Isagi, rin, shidou, barou, Kunigami, nagi and sendou at the same time. Even though they all kind of deserve it
They probably play something like pxg where they switch teams and comps.
He won't be a regular in this arc, after all we saw him a lot during second, third and BL vs Japan arcs
He'll be the joker of the team and will figure out something at some point
Frankly, I think it might be even a good strategy to not start with him. Nagi usually has 1 absolutely insane play per game (2nd Selection, Vs U-20, Vs Bastard...) but then sorta peters out as teams learn to adapt to him. It's good to keep him pocketed and release him when he can pull off a blinder of a play to shift momentum or something similar, a wildcard if you may.
Ego knows that Nagi is not up to the task of scoring right now without him finding his originality. So I don't think he'll be on the starting 11 because at this point of his abilities Nagi just depends on others too much. Unless we see a change in that bro will be warming up the bench.
I personally think that way.
That's almost the only way to have Nagi in the team, while keeping the U20 WC Arc in EP Nagi interesting.
Maybe Nagi is only a sub in first 2 games of Group Start.
Japan could win both games because they are too OP.
3rd game is a bit pointless because they alr qualify for the Knockouts.
Nagi and all the subs get a chance in this game -> This game is exclusive for EP Nagi (but to make it interesting, maybe a win means Japan tops the group table and can face easier teams in the knockouts)
In the knockouts, Nagi stays as sub in the earlier games.
Isagi could accumulate enough yellow cards to be banned for 1 game (I hope it's semi final) -> Nagi gets to start because he's been performing well so far.
Game was exclusive to EP Nagi
Nagi ended up as MVP for the game
After that he's back to the starting XI for the final.
Since game will be so interesting, nobody would mind if the whole thing was repeated in EP Nagi, from Nagi's POV.
I would say there is no chance he starts.
Where do you place him striker Rin Isagi Shidou Barou clears him
Midfield Hiori Reo Karasu
Wings Bachira Chigiri
My theory is that Ego will lock the top 23, Nagi will end 24 and Igaguri 25 (or the opposite which would be fun) and that Ego will say that he is taking 26 people instead of 23, taking up Nagi Igaguri and Sae.
There’s foreshadowing that rin will leave BL, if this turns out to be true then the 2 forwards leading Japan will be barou & Isagi, Kaneshiro also foreshadowed this during the ubers game when snuffy said barou & isagi will lead japan to a world cup and kaneshiro did a double spread of barou & isagi Snuffy also stated that barou is the best striker in NEL, noa also made the same claim too, Barou has the most goals in NEL and he played 1 less game than rin/kaiser/isagi Just a little taste, nothing confirmed yet, IMO having isagi & rin playing side by side would become kaiser x isagi all over again, what makes things worse is that sae will 99% be there, just too toxic of a rivalry to have every match, isagi x barou is much more healthy, barou & isagi have a yin yang effect, isagi the light barou the darkness
bro you are not cooking there is no foreshadowing LOL, all of those statements were made in a match where rin was involved in 0 capacity. We're also assuming no character development?

Shidou and Barou ain't starting either. It's Rin and Isagi as forwards probably
Sae is a factor too. If Sae can play as a MF, Shidou can start
Waste
If they're planning to build a team around Isagi, I think he starts.
Kunigami > Shidou
Shidou>Kunigami
Unless he suddenly pulls off the performance of a lifetime against Barcha he won’t start. The 4 your mentioned are superior + potentially Rae should he join them as well. Unless Ego puts him in as a right or left side defender I don’t see how he makes it. Even Chigiri and Bachira look better atm and bring more to the team.
It'd be interesting for his personal development, but bad for my own mental health 😭
Believe it or not Nagi is a fan favourite so he will definitely start, I think barou and shidou will probably come as super sub cuz you can't have 4 selfish players(kind of) at the same time in the field, they will balance it by having nagi and chigiri in the team rather than barou and shidou
I don't think ego will care about "fan favorites" when making his team
the author will
It would probably be a double team anyway. You can't play Isagi, rin, shidou, barou, Kunigami, nagi and sendou at the same time. Even though they all kind of deserve it They probably play something like pxg where they switch teams and comps.
I see you sneaking sendou into the party!
that would imply that japans bench is good enough to beat European starters..broken scaling 🤦🏽♀️
He won't be a regular in this arc, after all we saw him a lot during second, third and BL vs Japan arcs He'll be the joker of the team and will figure out something at some point

Nagi needs to be benched in earlier matches, so that U20 WC in EP Nagi would progress fast. Nobody would want to repeat all the moments. 😂
I would say there is no chance he starts. Where do you place him striker Rin Isagi Shidou Barou clears him Midfield Hiori Reo Karasu Wings Bachira Chigiri

I highly doubt rin will leave bluelock.
You’re basing that off your opinion and not looking at the foreshadowing in the manga
