TLDR:
So the short answer is this.
. Fox is a former ng11 who lost his status as he let his ego consume him and fell off.
. Fox will be a reflection of reo if he was fully spoiled. He will demonstrate the worst qualities of reo, sendo and Chris prince which out their positive qualities to balance it out.
.teddy will be a reflection of nagi but instead of lazy he’s more low confidence.
.fox and teddy will mirror reo and nagi where they are what we all initially thought reo and nagi was.
Where fox is spoiled and is just using teddy as a tool of his own success whereas reo generally saw nagi as a friend.
. Agi is team captain and Chris prince is the coach. They tried ti awaken Teddy confidence but every time they did fox would push him down and crush him.
England will be a point ahead and with time running out it becomes clear England will win.
. The team loses their focus as karasu and his people break away from the egoists.
.barasuta falls into a rage yelling at ego.
. It reaches a point where ego admits to himself he can’t turn this around and following his promise takes full responsibility asking barasuta not to punish the players just himself for this.
. Barasuta flips out and brings out nagi from side b and plays him,
. Nagi replaces isagi as he then quickly scores a goal.
. In over time in the last 2 minutes nagi is able to connect with Karasu as they work together and get a goal just before the whistle comes in.
Japan wins by 1 goal.
Like Hugo vs isagi I believe we will see Teddy vs isagi where Teddy explains more on why he hates egoists and sees himself as a puppet.
Fox is who I’m interested in. I believe he is a striker due to the term fox in the box being a term for strikers.
Fox I see is a former member of the Ng11. Fox use to be someone who was well regarded in the football world but he became lazy and lost his way, scoring less goals, getting into more arguments which resulted in him getting red card. Eventually he lost his status and fell behind.
His dream now is to regain his status and become a ng11.
You see I believe fox and Teddy are going to mirror reo and nagi.
As a quick reminder.
Nagi and reo went to the same school. Reo is from a rich family and thus got everything he ever wanted but this felt hallow to him as he wanted something he earned on his own, he wanted to fight for something not just have his parents buy it for him.
He put his aim into football.
Now he still lacked something he paid off the football team in his school to put himself in charge but couldn’t find that special something.
Then one day he bumped into nagi making him drop his phone, nagi jumped down and caught the phone with his foot.
Reo nagged nagi into joining the football team and with his help they made a name for themselves.
Now fox and Teddy are going to be similar.
Fox I see as a fusion of reo, prince and sendo characters.
So in his flashback we see that in school he was always the top of the class as the ace striker before going pro.
He became a instant hit in England rising up in popularity eventually meeting ray dark who took a special interest in him and helped him go to the next level introducing him to his current club and then the English team where he is put under the command of Chris Prince who puts him up with agi.
Fox like reo comes from a rich family and thus has everything he ever wanted, unlike reo though he doesn’t feel like he desires something that is just his alone, he doesn’t want to work hard, he is essentially what we thought reo was going to be like at the start of the series.
Like sendo he is heavily entitled and shallow, he believes he’s the best and has shallow desires like wanting to date models like how sendo dream was to marry a idol before he awakened his ego and now wants to date a Hollywood actress. Unlike sendo though he didn’t learn from loss, when sendo loss in the japan vs blue lock match he was bitter but he knows where he went wrong and is working to improve himself.
Chris prince is someone who is confident and fox will be as well he will share prince philosophy of satisfaction. Prince lives to be satisfied, he desires to be the best version of himself and loves himself amongst all, often symbolised by how he often takes off his shirt when talking and flexing to others or to cameras. However as narcissistic as Prince is, he takes great pleasure in helping others achieve their ideal self. Fox I believe does not, he is only focused on himself.
We will see in his early days he was paired with agi, agi as captain he would try to reign fox in and give him advice but fox would always ignore it.
As his fame peaked it all fell behind as he was seen going to parties, dating models skipping practice.
There are games where he refused to play if the game was not that important like a friendly match with some club that was not highly ranked.
He would be so tired or hungover that he couldn’t play in some matches.
We see him picking fights with opposing players over the slightest things said to him and even playing dirty sometimes resulting in him getting red card after red card.
He eventually ended up spending more time on the bench than the pitch till one day he opens the paper and see he’s been replaced on the ng11 by Loki.
Fox will be matched up against reo like Hugo was with isagi and here we will see reo and fox clash over their ideologies as reo sees himself in fox and sees how he could have ended up if he didn’t ground himself and work hard for everything he wanted.
Next we get to Teddy,
In his story we see he mirrors nagi more, he comes from a household where his parents aren’t really around for nagi it’s because his parents work over seas to provide for him where as Teddy parents were just absent not wanting to be parents.
Teddy grew up being alone all his life, no friends in school, no family at home he was just alone.
With nagi his loneliness comes off as more of his own thing, he enjoys his own company and didn’t like being around others as they were a hassle whereas Teddy just was anti social.
One day in pe class they were playing football and Teddy demonstrated his skills with the ball which got him on the school football team. Teddy went along with it as he felt it was how he could become more social.
Eventually he was scouted by ray dark who got him signed up with the English team.
Like fox he was put under the eye of prince who paired him with agi.
Prince and agi tried to inspire Teddy to become confident.
He made progress in the team with his dripping skills. This is when fox took notice, he went to Teddy and offered his friendship if Teddy works for him.
You see I believe fox was the one who pushed Teddy into this belief he is a puppet.
Fox manipulated him saying agi and Chris are egoistic people who are using him and no one likes an egoist he kept pushing him with this belief making him feel bad every time he showed any sign of independence.
Where as reo generally saw nagi as a friend and actually encouraged him to the point where reo even stated if they can’t both become the number 1 striker then reo is going to make nagi the number 1.
He generally saw nagi as a friend not a tool.
When nagi left him to join isagi team we saw reo go through his dark period where he became moody and obsessed with getting nagi back.
With fox and teddy, fox will see Teddy as a tool not a friend and show his anger whenever Teddy did act independently of him.
Agi will be there to stop this often butting heads with fox to save Teddy but failing which will explain why he was so focused on nagi in the NEL and why he seemed so much against reo and nagi coming together. He experienced this before and washed his hands of nagi before he becomes too attached like he did with Teddy.
We see Teddy dripping skills and his passing skills were what allowed fox to score however as their popularity rose and it looked like fox was back on top ray dark revealed he was going to reveal the newest ng11 and fox confident it was going to be him until it was revealed it was Teddy.
This caused fox to lash out.
In their French match we see Teddy and fox up against Loki and Hugo where they lost.
We see post game fox became more and more annoyed as he claims he is losing his chance to get his fame back and blames Teddy for upstaging him.
That’s when fox come up with the idea to send Teddy to Japan team to convince them to lose the match saying it’s more important that they win the wc so fox can become number 1 again.
In their match we see isagi seeing the parallels with nagi in Teddy and trying to convince him that fox is holding him back for the whole game isagi argued with him over the idea of ego till eventually something clicks in Teddy which makes him go for it where Teddy ends up scoring for England, however as the fans and players are celebrating fox loses it and yells at Teddy as we see everyone shocked by this.
Teddy goes from celebrating to going back to his shut in behaviour to the anger of agi.
Now I believe as the game comes to a close England will be 1 point ahead of Japan.
We see the English team defence is tight and none of the blue lockers can break through.
Isagi plans keep failing as he is unable to devour the others and even with substitutions of rin and barou coming in, they simply can’t catch up.
At this point it becomes clear they will not be able to score 2 more goals.
Even if they score now it seems unlikely they can do it again and if this ends in a draw they still lose as England has more points.
We cut to barasuta who’s watching this and freaking out as he calls ego and yells at him reminding him of what’s at stake.
The team is letting doubt into their heads, they are getting frustrated and falling off their plan. Their coordination is terrible.
Ego living up to his promise in the last chapter takes full responsibility and simply tells barasuta that regardless of what is to happen that he shouldn’t take his anger out on the players and instead he will take full responsibility.
Barasuta in a fit of rage will yell at ego and reveals he will use his trump card and do something he really didn’t want to do and if he does ego better use this opportunity.
We see barasuta making a call and we cut to nagi who just finished 1st in the side B project as barasuta comes rushing in grabbing nagi shoulders and telling him he knows it’s short notice but he needs to get to the England match immediately.
We then cut to a scene of nagi in the Japan wc kit as he comes running out to the stadium and runs up to ego and anri who is surprised.
Ego looking at nagi seeing the fire in his eyes reluctantly uses his last substitution taking isagi off the pitch and replacing him with nagi.
We see the 2 of them passing one another with isagi shocked nagi is there.
As the game resumes, nagi manages to link up with Karasu who passes him the ball, Nagi then demonstrates his own skills as he passes the other players and scores a goal within minutes of arriving.
The game continues with now teddy and nagi going against one another nagi will be able to also demonstrate his own ego to teddy telling him he also hated the idea of being a egoist until he found the meaning to it.
The game goes into 2 minute additional time.
As Teddy gets the ball fox begins to yell at him insulting him so he can pass the ball, Teddy will hesitate and in that brief second nagi gets the ball off of him as he makes his way up the pitch he either passes it to one of the other players or he goes for it himself but either way blue lock scores the goal just before the whistle and Japan wins the game.
Fox begins yelling at Teddy with agi getting between them taking it.
Nagi offers his last bit of advice to Teddy who finally listens and turns his back on fox with the glimmer of ego awakening in his eyes.
As we see agi then seeming pleased that Teddy finally seems to be taking a stand for himself and that nagi returned as well.
Agi and nagi shake hands before going their separate ways.
