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.

[English review] Chapter 277: “Genius and prodigy”

Right now, the intensity of the match has reached a whole new level; the players from both teams are desperate for victory, which is just a point away. After Rin scored the second goal for the French team, the strategic moves of the masters are becoming clear on the pitch.

Ego and Anri are watching the game while Teiri is surprised and excited by Loki’s entry onto the field, as well as the global impact this match between BM and PXG is having. The standout words from the opening pages are Ego’s: “But don’t get it twisted… and don’t fly too high. Don’t dare to try and become geniuses.” This message is aimed at the players on the pitch, warning them not to get carried away with arrogance or overconfidence. Yes, they’re at an advanced stage of the project; they’ve evolved and grown in every match they’ve played, but that unchecked confidence, that illusion of being invincible, could lead to a catastrophic fall. Football is an unpredictable competition, and you need to be careful about overestimating yourself. The whole idea of “becoming geniuses” and trying risky plays seems to be Ego’s way of telling them that could lead to their downfall. Any mistake in the match could have serious consequences.

Let’s move on to Isagi. Rin’s words resonate within him: “You have… the duty to try and kill me until you die,” highlighting the pressure he feels to be a strong competitor while also revealing his internal struggle. Isagi doesn’t want to be a stepping stone for Rin or anyone else. His independence and desire to carve his own path are clear, but this can be a challenge, both positive and risky. When he finds out he’s received a yellow card, Isagi vents his frustration and defiance with a “Oh, shut up!”, reflecting his internal battle with his intense emotions and how that confidence is starting to shift into arrogance. Isagi needs to learn how to manage his emotions in high-pressure situations. Watch out, Isagi Yoichi, watch out for that overconfidence!

As for Loki, his entrance comes with the line: “That trap is weak… and too slow.” The French player shows his physical superiority and absolute confidence in his skills. This confidence is very different from Isagi’s, as Loki, despite his youth, plays at a professional level. Isagi’s strategy gets dismantled by a player of a higher level at that moment.

“The slow ones die first. It’s a law of nature.” In Blue Lock, football is brutal; physical ability and speed are essential. This is a harsh blow to Isagi’s ego and style of play, as he faces the reality that, even though he’s worked hard to improve, there are still players with nearly superhuman talents. “The thought and logic make no sense here!!!” Isagi is overwhelmed by Loki’s speed and style of play and realises the gap between himself and players with exceptional physical abilities.

“This is… the abuse of physical talent… pure speed!!!” Isagi feels frustrated. His style of play relies on intelligence and analysis, but here he feels powerless against Loki’s skills.

In the final moments of the match, Loki passes the ball to Rin. By calling him a “monster of the tongue,” Loki seems to acknowledge Rin’s fierce attitude. However, these words carry a hint of condescension, suggesting Loki’s superiority. As a football prodigy, he gives Rin the goal as a bit of fun, to see how far he can push it. Rin accepts the challenge but does so with an ironic tone, showing he’s not entirely comfortable with Loki.

Igarashi appears surprisingly for everyone. Igaguri has always been seen as a weak player and has been ridiculed by others multiple times, but he uses his ability to effectively simulate a foul. The technique of “Malicious Genius Assassin” shows that, although he doesn’t have the physical or strategic talent of other players, he has a special knack for creating chaos in critical moments.

Rin looks surprised and frustrated. For him, the play is absurd and doesn’t fit with his vision of competition. Being stopped like that by Igarashi is a blow to his pride. The phrase “What’s your deal…?” reflects how incomprehensible it is for him that a player like Igaguri has changed the course of the match with a simulation. It’s also important to point out that, within Japanese culture, cheating is frowned upon; getting something through a trick like simulation is considered low, which explains the expression on Rin’s face.

Isagi acknowledges Igarashi’s skill, as he prevents a certain defeat for the team in that moment. Even in an unorthodox way, Isagi sees the value of Igaguri at that instant.
