COULD YOU BE REBORN?

The Bastard München versus Manshine City match opened with a tremendous goal from Chigiri, who's leveled up his game with a little help from Chris Prince. As Bastard München launches a counterattack, Isagi finds some much-needed backup in Kurona. However, the specter of his teammate Kaiser is always there to shut him out from any scoring opportunities. Can he find the missing piece and finally escape the tyrant’s shadow?
