Just a general rule of thumb for the show: If Ego is talking, you should probably drop your statement mid-sentence and pay attention lol He ever hardly says something that you can afford to miss. I'll do my best to explain here what you guys are confused about:
1.) The lettered teams are no more. Teams V, W, X, Y and Z are done. That was only for the first selection. This is the 2nd selection.
2.) In this next stage individual players will form teams of three. There will be a match between two 3-person teams. The winner of that match has to steal a player from the losing team (whoever they want, friend or foe). The newly formed team of four advances to the next stage to play in a 4v4. The winner of that completes the 2nd selection when they become a team of 5.
The losers of the 3v3, the two remaining players, go backwards and play other eliminated teams in a 2v2 and try to make their way back up until they're a team of 3 again, then 4, then 5.
The loser of the 2v2 who doesn't gets picked to join the winning team gets eliminated from Blue Lock, permanently.
3.) The bangs guy Anthony keeps referring to is Niko. Not too hard of a name, but I know there are a lot of characters to remember lol
4.) I know it's partially in Japanese, but you guys still missed that Rin, Tokimitsu, and Aryu are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked players at Blue Lock. The three best in the whole place. While Isagi, Bachira and Nagi are ranked 7th, 15th and 16th. That's why Isagi was hesitant to face them. They're far from NPCs lol
