Review Ch. 281: "The Formula of Evolution."

Evolutionary Symbiosis

The chapter kicks off with Ego explaining genetic evolution. As we all know from our school biology lessons, every individual is born with half of their genetic material coming from their father and the other half from their mother. That’s the standard rule. But sometimes, copying errors occur, and children are born with traits neither of their parents possess. For instance, the child could have a small limb, an unusual height, or extraordinary speed. Usually, this child gets excluded for their differences and doesn’t pass on their genes when they reproduce. However, that unusual trait might be advantageous and perfectly suited to the environment. Something positive happens, and this trait proliferates through natural selection, eventually becoming a standard for the species. This process repeats over and over until the original species transforms into something entirely different. That’s evolution in a nutshell.

Ego emphasises to Anri that we need to study and evolve; we can't stagnate, or else we’ll be eliminated by natural selection.

As mentioned earlier, those born with such traits often face exclusion and struggle to be understood by their peers; their lives tend to be tough. That distinctive trait could be a gene that allows humanity to evolve. This trait is something that simply can’t be ignored. These characteristics, these areas, generate unique expressions of both body and mind, and those who have them project these expressions to the world.

To Ego, those who possess such revolutionary expressions are what he calls ‘geniuses’. Nowadays, society believes that innovation isn’t something a genius can achieve alone. Someone has to discover that seed, understand its value, and communicate it to the world. By showcasing its viability and reproducibility, it becomes a global standard.

The concept of genius is transformative because it challenges the traditional view of genius as something isolated and solitary. For Ego, the true genius doesn’t just stand out because of natural talent; they excel because of their ability to recognise and exploit the potential of things others can’t see. That’s why the evolution of humanity doesn’t solely rely on geniuses; it also involves talented learners, who play a key role in adapting and applying a genius’s ideas to new realities.

Geniuses and talented learners must coexist. The latter are the ones who develop new tactics, using data to counteract the geniuses. This is where talented learners create plays based on that new type of logic.

The combination of geniuses and talented learners is the formula for evolution. They are always on the same stage. Within this stage, the talented learners have their own path to becoming the best in the world. This symbiosis mirrors how ideas and action complement each other in the process of evolution, both in football and in life. As we’ve seen with the characters in Blue Lock, geniuses aren’t just individuals with exceptional skills—they’re also those who know how to leverage their talents alongside others to create something even greater.

At first, Isagi still believes that the geniuses around him on the field are unattainable. That is, until he realises that he’s always fought as a talented learner. He copies, analyses, and makes his own adjustments based on what he observes from his opponents.

Yoichi comes to the realisation that the geniuses on the field are battling it out amongst themselves, and none of them are going to pass the ball to someone like him. People just want to see that one perfect goal that’ll end the game. Isagi understands that he has to steal the ball himself, but again he’s outpaced by Loki, taking another hard hit to his reality. He starts to believe that he’s not capable, that he doesn’t have a chance as he watches Loki and Noa battling for the ball. He sees himself facing a genetic wall he can’t surpass.

This moment is pivotal because Isagi is confronting his deepest limitation: his perception of being just a learner in the presence of geniuses. However, this confrontation with reality is exactly what drives him to grow. Personal evolution, in this case, doesn’t happen through luck or innate talent; it’s about the will to push forward despite the odds.

Suddenly, Kaiser appears beside him, ready to challenge those two geniuses for the ball. Michael feels that the situation is unfair, but he heads into the thick of things, competing alongside the geniuses, because the genius and the talented learner coexist in the same space, unlocking their potential.

This last point highlights a fundamental idea: "geniuses" aren’t isolated—they can be surpassed or complemented by those who, through learning and observation, adapt to circumstances and, at the same time, make the geniuses evolve. This struggle, which seems like an unfair fight for the learners, is ultimately what differentiates those who remain stagnant from those who reach new heights.

In conclusion, the chapter reminds us that evolution isn’t just a biological process; it’s also a constant battle between the established and the new. The key lies not just with the geniuses, but in the ongoing interaction between them and the talented learners, those who can observe, adapt, and transform the rules of the game. Isagi, in his confrontation with the geniuses, is not only facing a wall of skill but also the realisation of his own limitations. However, it’s in this very struggle where his true opportunity for growth arises.

Evolution, both in football and life, isn’t a fixed destination, but rather a journey filled with challenges and transformations. It’s the result of the coexistence of innovation and adaptation, how the extraordinary merges with the seemingly ordinary to create something entirely new. As Ego says, the key is not to stagnate, not to give in to the pressure from the geniuses, because even in adversity, the talented learner has the power to change the course of history. The real challenge is to keep evolving, to recognise opportunities to learn, and ultimately, not to fear being the one who challenges the established order to create something truly unique.

Review Ch. 280: "The Wall of The Talented".

The Talent Dilemma

The chapter picks up right where we left off: Loki, with his superhuman speed, intercepts the ‘Kaiser Impact’ and prevents Michael from scoring the winning goal for Bastard München. Isagi watches in amazement as the French player, who reacted only when the shot was made from quite a distance, managed to get there just in time to clear it.

Next, players from both teams scramble to take control of the ball, including Isagi himself. Yoichi begins to question: “What is a genius?” He’s always thought of a genius as someone incredible, but that definition no longer seems sufficient, especially when he looks at players like Loki. As he tries to regain possession, now held by PXG, he wonders: “Is a genius someone who surpasses all expectations with an unimaginable playing style?”

Isagi reflects that a genius is someone who breaks barriers, creates something innovative, and elevates the game to a level never seen before. As he himself has noted, Rin is a genius who fits these criteria, something he proved from his debut, like when he scored an Olympic goal in his first match.

Seeking answers, Isagi approaches Noel Noa, who barely looks at him to respond. Noa reminds him that he asked for a winning theory, something Isagi has yet to deliver. Therefore, Noa concludes he doesn’t see anything remarkable in him.

Isagi soon realises that geniuses don’t act logically; they captivate others with their natural way of being and become the centre of the football world. He acknowledges that he isn’t one of those geniuses and is far from it.

He’s aware that his strength lies in his ability to adapt, but that title of ‘genius of adaptability’ isn’t really his, as it doesn’t fit the standard of genius. He understands he’s simply a talented learner, someone who can adapt to geniuses and play at their level, but without actually being one.

The word ‘adapt’ means to adjust something to another. In this case, Isagi adapts his skills to those of the geniuses but never becomes one of them; he just adjusts his pieces to fit those exceptional players.

The match between Bastard München and PXG continues, and Igarashi again fakes a foul, causing Rin to fall into the trap. It’s a risky move by Bastard, as there’s a chance Igarashi’s simulation won’t be convincing. Hiori himself acknowledges that Rin is a monster and that only with that tactic were they able to stop him. Rin’s expression shows his frustration at Igarashi’s repeated fouls. As a Japanese player, his mindset makes him despise such tricks since he’s used to fair play. However, in the story, Igarashi has had to resort to these tactics to survive in Blue Lock.

Isagi keeps seeing himself as someone who can only enhance his talent and wonders if it’s possible to compete against geniuses using only his brain, eyes, and logic. Persistence has been his tool for developing his skills, like his direct shot, but all that effort doesn’t seem enough in the world of geniuses.

Geniuses possess both physical and philosophical abilities beyond the ordinary, incomprehensible drives that come naturally. Under these conditions, Isagi understands that he can neither compete with nor survive among the geniuses.

This clash with reality makes him accept that with his current abilities, he can’t win, can’t catch up to Rin, let alone become the best in the world.

The chapter ends with Ego watching Isagi and mentioning the ‘wall of the talented,’ but not as an impassable barrier—rather, as a step Isagi must use to find a new path.

In conclusion, this chapter marks a turning point in Isagi’s development. The confrontation with the reality that he’s not a genius but a ‘talented learner’ reshapes his focus. Isagi starts seeing the gap between himself and figures like Rin or Loki, not as a sentence, but as a new challenge. This realisation is harsh and almost heartbreaking, but necessary for Isagi to redefine his limits and seek his own path beyond what’s known. Ego’s look at the end isn’t judgemental, but an invitation: it’s not enough to be a spectator of genius; Isagi must turn his adaptability into an art that can stand on its own. The ‘wall of the talented’ ceases to be a barrier and becomes another test, a step toward a greater purpose. Now, the real challenge is to see if Isagi can turn his persistence and logic into more than just a survival mechanism, and if he has the courage to create a playing style so unique and disruptive that it propels him to a level comparable to the geniuses he so admires.
