In Episode 35, the Japanese U-20 football team faces off against Blue Lock XI in a decisive match. The game grows more intense as Shidou Ryusei displays exceptional skill, swiftly advancing the ball and scoring multiple goals. Reo Mikage executes a crucial defensive play, clearing the ball and declaring his determination to return to the role of a striker to secure victory.

Blue Lock's coach, EGO, observes the U-20's strategies and recognizes Shidou's growing dominance. To counter this, Blue Lock XI substitutes in Barou Shouei. Barou's aggressive and unpredictable playstyle disrupts the U-20's formation, creating chaos on the field and allowing Blue Lock XI to regain control. His powerful dribbling and shooting abilities pose a significant threat, leading to a decisive comeback.

As the match progresses, Shidou enters a "flow" state, enhancing his spatial awareness and precision, resulting in critical goals that firmly shift momentum in favor of Blue Lock XI. Meanwhile, Barou's relentless offensive pressure throws the U-20 into disarray, making it difficult for them to maintain their defense.

In the final minutes, EGO implements an unprecedented strategy by leveraging Barou's abilities to further dismantle the U-20's defense. Overwhelmed by Blue Lock XI's intensified attacks and Barou's disruptive presence, the U-20 struggles to respond effectively. Ultimately, Blue Lock XI secures a decisive victory, showcasing their superior tactics and individual talents.

The episode concludes with EGO affirming Blue Lock's triumph as proof of their training and strategic planning. The victory not only highlights the players' growth but also hints at a potential shift in Japanese football, positioning Blue Lock XI as serious contenders on the national stage.
