Chapter 1: First round
Host: On today's program, we will be interviewing 15 of our Blue Lock contenders who have been here from the beginning and who have made it here today to the Neo Egoist training. Most, but not all of the contenders, appear to have been completely unaware that their phone calls have been recorded since the beginning since most did not bother to read the entirety of the 34 page disclosure agreements upon their arrival to Blue Lock. Thus, we expect that many of our players here today may be surprised to learn that their calls have been recorded.
Host: And now to bring in today's contestants!
Representing Bastard, we have Yo Hiori, Yoichi Isagi, Rensuke Kunigami, Jingo Raichi, and Kenyu Yukimiya!
{Blue lock icons are shown on screen for the audience as each name is announced}
Representing Manshine City, we have Hyoma Chigiri, Reo Mikage, Seishiro Nagi, and Junichi Wanima!
Representing PXG, we have Rin Itoshi, Tabito Karasu, and Aoshi Tokimitsu!
Representing Ubers, we have Jyubei Aryu and Shoei Baro!
And our lone representative from Barcha, Meguru Bachira!
Let's give all our brave contestants a welcoming round of applause!
{Recorded audience applause}
Now, for all you contestants secluded in a room with a personal computer in front of you ready to begin our game, we will tell you the rules of this game. As you have already been told, your job is to correctly identify other players based on the clues we give you while preserving your own anonymity. Once 12 of the 15 players have been identified, the remaining 3 players will have their anonymity preserved and be eligible to win the game based on the number of points you earn. Correctly identifying another player will earn you 1 point. If you make a guess and it is wrong, you will lose 2 points. And, if you make 3 incorrect guesses, your identity will be revealed and you will be ineligible to win the game.
How does that game sound for you so far?

Player 1: Ready!
Player 2: Fine by me
Player 3: Let's do this!
Player 4: …since I'm already here…sure
Player 5: Yes!
Player 6: I'm in
Player 7: whatever
Player 3: I thought there was a prize? What's the prize?
Player 8: ok
Player 9: present
Player 5: Bragging rights for winning is enough of a prize for me!
Player 10: ^.^
Player 6: I don't back down from a challenge
Player 11: yo
Player 12: .
Player 2: I was told that this shouldn't take too long, right? Like, this is a 30 minute show, probably only 22 minutes of my time with commercial breaks, right?
Host: And we should have 3 more contestants, here, am I right?
Player 13: o.0
Player 4: Can we get on with this already?
Player 14: For the record, I only agreed to do this because I was told I'd be taken off the list of starters for the next game if I didn't participate
Player 12: same
Player 5: ooo, 14 is a grumpy!
Player 15: yes
Host: Alrighty then! We have our 15 contestants ready to play!
Now Players, the clues that we will be giving you come from recorded phone calls and voicemails that you have received since your admission to Blue Lock. We will specifically be reviewing calls made during Blue Lock's original training phase.
Player 9: Ego's recording our phone calls?!
Player 3: That's a violation of privacy!
Player 14: I never agreed to that!
Player 7: Did none of you read the disclosure agreement when you signed on here?
Player 3: Who has time to read all that bullshit?
Player 5: Well this will be fun!
Player 12: Blue Lock really is just full of idiots
Player 2: Not surprised, they're recording everything else anyways
Host: Starting with the player who was first to log on here, here is the first clue to their identity, which is a voicemail recording sent to the player's account
{female voice}: Hi my little munchkin! Just thought I'd give you a call since I haven't heard from you in a while! Give me a call back when you have the time!
Player 1's name has been changed to [Munchkin/Player 1]
Player 11: Awww!
Player 5: Munchkin!
Player 10: That's a very sweet sounding mother, who here would have a sweet mother?
[Munchkin/Player 1]: Yes, my mother is a sweet woman 3
Player 9: I think the better question is who has a mom who is not sweet. I can't imagine someone like Baro or Rin having a sweet mom
Player 2: the better question is who is short
Player 3: the short players that come to mind…Isagi, Bachira, Chigiri, Kiyora, Kurona, Hiori, Nanase, Niko…
Player 9: I'm not short!
Player 6: Why are you listing people who aren't even here?
Player 14: Whose all in this game?
Player 4: Was no one listening when they introduced all of us?
Player 13: Reo's short, right? I know he has a mom a least
Player 7: Reo is 6'1", how is that short?
Player 11: Who would know Reo well enough to know his height? I'm guessing Player 7 is a Manshine City player
Host: The hint for our next contestant:
{female voice}: Hi honey, being that I haven't heard from you in a while, I thought I'd give you a call. I'm imagining that you're alright since I haven't been given any calls that you're not well, but I'd appreciate if you could set my worried mind at ease, so give me a call when you can!
Player 2's name has been changed to [Worried mother/Player 2]
Player 11: That could literally be anyone's mother
[Worried mother/Player 2]:Yes, I'll win this because my mom is totally average and all her messages were totally boring
Player 9: Unless someone doesn't have a mother?
Player 3: I swear, Gagamuru was raised by wolves, so that wouldn't be him
Host: And now for the hint for Player 3
{irritable female voice}: I'm going to assume that no news is good news and you're still doing your soccer thing since you haven't come home yet. Still, it's been 3 weeks - would it kill you to give your mother a call?
Player 3's name has been changed to [Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]
Player 9: ngl, if that was my mom, I don't think I'd want to call her either
Player 4: same
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: can you blame me?
Player 10: Soccer thing? Obviously this person's mom isn't forcing them to play soccer
Player 11: and has low expectations for them
Host: The hint for Player 4:
{female voice}: Hello my dear, just wanted to check in with you. I hope you're doing ok and staying healthy.
Player 4's name has been changed to [My dear/Player 4]
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: That's so generic, how can that be a clue?
Player 6: Well, let's think, who here is generic?
Player 11: The voice sounds older, probably a mom, but it could be a grandma…
Player 8: Who do we know who has a grandma?
[My dear/Player 4]: that's not my grandma
[Munchkin/Player 1]: I hope it's not your sister!
[My dear/Player 4]: it's not
Player 5: Oh, so my dear has a sister!
Player 9: at least 1 sister
[Munchkin/Player 1]: Unless, does Player 4 have a sugar mama? Is he a cougar catcher?
[My dear/Player 4]: god no
Host: The hint for Player 5
{female voice}: Hi Pumpkin! Just thought I'd check in since I haven't heard from you in a while! I hope you're having fun with your new friends! Give me a call! Love you!
Player 5's name has been changed to [Pumpkin/Player 5]
Player 12: The name of this game should just be changed to "who's mom is that?"
[My dear/Player 4]: srly
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: Or how about, whose mom has the cutest nickname for them! I win!
Player 6: Pumpkin is so generic… you'd lose
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: the orange hair - that's gotta be Kunigami!
Player 3 now has -2 points; 1 incorrect answer
Host: Remember, 3 wrong guesses and you're out!
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3: dammit
[My dear/Player 4]: hey, someone needs to do some guessing otherwise this game is going to last forever
Player 9: Hey, you took one for the team, I was also going to suggest that
Host: The hint for Player 6
{young voice}: mom says that you haven't called her back, so she told me to call you since I know you'll call me back! So call me back!
Player 9: it's a kid's voice for sure, but is it a brother or sister?
Player 6's name has been changed to [Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]
[Worried mother/Player 2]: Who do we know who has siblings?
Player 9: That would be Baro, Kunigami, Rin…
Player 13: Chigiri has a sister
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: So does Otoya! He has 2 of them!
Player 7: If it's a brother, than it has to be a younger brother, so not Rin, until there's another Itoshi we haven't heard about
Player 11: aww! Another little baby Itoshi! That would be so cute!
Player 8: Scary!
Player 8: Too much genius!
Player 12: don't make me vomit
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: For the record, I don't avoid my mom. My mom's normal
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: unlike Player 3
Host: The hint for our next contestant:
{male voice}: Just calling to check in on you…make sure you're not doing anything stupid. Be sure to call me if you're getting into trouble with anything.
Player 7's name has been changed to [Getting into trouble/Player 7]
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: finally a dude's voice
Player 13: that voice kinda sounds familiar…
Player 9: Familiar? More like generic
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: What's with the name? I'm not in trouble. That's libel to suggest I am.
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: o.0 someone has a fancy vocabulary
Host: And now for Player 8, we don't have a voice recording since this player never received a voicemail
[Munchkin/Player 1]: how sad!
Player 10: ouch
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: I'm thinking Baro
Player 9: It's gotta be Rin
Player 5 now has -2 points; 1 incorrect answer
Player 9 now has -2 points; 1 incorrect answer
Player 9: shit
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: I didn't say final answer! I was just thinking out loud!
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: you know who speaks out loud a lot…well, I'm not going to risk any points by saying
Host: Well, I believe the reason why this player had no voicemails was because he has been very diligent in making phone calls everyday. And that is the hint for Player 8!
Player 8's name has been changed to [Calls home every day/Player 8]
Player 11: Everyday!
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: What a mama's boy!
Player 12: that kid's gotta get a life
[My dear/Player 4]: This isn't a guess, I'm just saying that I've seen Isagi at the phone too many times to count
Player 9: I've seen Tokimitsu by the phone a bunch, Nanase too
Player 13: where's the phone even at?
Host: And now for Player 9, we have another caller with no voicemail recordings since he also appears to have called home frequently enough
Player 9's name has been changed to [Called home most days]
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: Wow, I didn't think there were so many babies in Blue Lock needing to call home
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: Who has time for that?
Player 14: They're probably weak to spend so much time on the phone rather than training
Player 11: When is this game supposed to get good? Like, where are all the juicy secrets?
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: Maybe we're all boring
[Worried mother/Player 2]: #11 has a good point, why make a stupid game if we're all boring?
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: That means the juicy stuff is yet to come!
Host: And now for Player 10, we had too many voicemails to comb through since this player received at least 1 voicemail every single day during the first phase at Blue Lock.
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: JUICYYYY!
Player 10: ^.^
[My dear/Player 4]: someone's getting too excited
Player 13: o.0
Host: And that is the hint for this player.
Player 10's name has been changed to [Daily voicemails/Player 10]
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: Otoya for sure has more than 1 girl calling him.
Player 14: Is Sendou here? That's just a question, not a guess
[Munchkin/Player 1]: More likely to be Aiku, but alas, both are from the U-20 team so neither would be here
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: Are we sure 10 is a player? I mean, he could just be another brat with helicopter parents
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: yet another mama's boy?
[Daily voicemails/Player 10]: -_-
[Worried mother/Player 2]: 10 is totally giving off ninja vibes
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: I'd say camouflage…
[Calls home every day/Player 8]: You mean the Chameleon?
[My dear/Player 4]: Yeah, I could see Reo's parents calling him every day. Make sure their precious heir isn't getting hurt
Host: And now to Player 11! The hint for this player, is that he called his mother after every time he lost a match
Player 11's name has been changed to [Called mom after every loss]
Player 14: Loser!
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: So you're saying 98% of Blue Lock players are momma's boys
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: I'm guessing not Rin. Has he ever lost a match?
[Called home most days/Player 9]: Are you going to tell us how many times that is? How many times did he lose?
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: not many at all :)
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: And I did call my dad too, so you can't call me a mama's boy.
Host: And now our hint for Player 12.
{male voice}: gimme a call back. I have something to discuss
Player 12's name has been changed to [Gimme a call back/Player 12]
[Called home most days/Player 9]: How is that a hint? That's a nothing hint, and you can barely hear the voice
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: total sus
[Gimme a call back/Player 12]: I have nothing to hide
[Worried mother/Player 2]: Can you play it again? And louder?
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: We know they at least have a dad
[My dear/Player 4]: Are we sure that's a dad? Could be a brother? Or an uncle?
[Munchkin/Player 1]: Or someone's lover!
[Calls home every day/Player 8]: Who here has brothers?
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: We know Wanima has a twin brother, but that didn't sound like the chatterbox
Host: The hint for our next player is that this person received 3 voicemails, but did not return any of them.
Player 13's name has been changed to [Never returned a call/Player 13]
[Daily voicemails/Player 10]: …such a naughty boy
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: o.0
[Munchkin/Player 1]: sociopath?
[Worried mother/Player 2]: which would be 90% of Blue Lock
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: I can think of a lot of people who wouldn't bother to call home…there's a lot of bastards in Blue Lock
[My dear/Player 4]: Yeah! A whole team of them!
[Called home most days/Player 9]: I'm thinking Baro or Rin, but that's me thinking out loud, not a real guess
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: Nagi. Final answer.
[Never returned a call/Player 13] name has been changed to Nagi
Player 7 now has 1 point; 0 incorrect answers
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: That was a fast guess
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: The kid is clueless. I doubt he even knows what a real phone looks like
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: Someone finally has points!
Nagi: honestly, where are the phones at?
Host: And now for Player 14!
{female voice}: So the only reason you ever call me is for some hair gel? No 'hello', no 'how are things at home', no 'love you mom', just 'I need more hair gel, all they have here is crap.'
Player 14's name has been changed to [Needs hair gel/Player 14]
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: That's one husky sounding mother
[Calls home every day/Player 8]: That's easy! Aryu!
Player 8 now has -2 points; 1 incorrect answer
[My dear/Player 4]: Aryu's hair is too smooth for gel
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: Gel makes for spikes
[Called home most days/Player 9]: Do you think Rin uses hair gel?
[Called home most days/Player 9]: It looks too good to be natural
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: ooo, does someone have the hots for Rin?!
[Munchkin/Player 1]: Rin uses the Blue Lock variety, which is why his results are only mediocre
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: I'm thinking Kunigami must use hair gel…but that's just me thinking out loud
[Worried mother/Player 2]: I'm sure he does, but he doesn't seem the type to call home about it. I imagine he's satisfied enough by the junky stuff that's here
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: Karasu
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: The crow probably uses it by the gallon
Player 3 now has -4 points; 2 incorrect answers
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: Hey, it was a good guess. Right?
[My dear/Player 4]: For sure, Karasu uses a ton of gel
[Daily voicemails/Player 10]: Karasu's from Kansai, right? I think his mom would probably have an accent
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: Karasu uses wax, not gel
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: Other gel users might be…Niko? Zantestu? Yukimiya? Shido for sure!
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: I would think Shido uses it by the gallon, but he's not in this game
[Gimme a call back/Player 12]: The fashion model is always throwing out tubes, but they're blue lock brand
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: Baro
[Daily voicemails/Player 10]: Oh, yeah, I see that
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: yeah, makes sense, I'm sure he'd rage out about how inferior blue lock brand gel is
[Needs hair gel/Player 14] name has been changed to Baro
Player 11 now has 1 point; 0 incorrect answers
Baro: For the record, Blue Lock hair gel is garbage
Host: And finally, the clue for our last contestant.
{female voice}: So you'll talk to your brother on the phone, but not your own mother who gave birth to you? You better have a good excuse for why you haven't been calling home.
Player 15's name has been changed to [Better have a good excuse/Player 15]
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: definitely has a brother
[Worried mother/Player 2]: And one hell of a brute mom.
[Called home most days/Player 9]: Rin. Final answer
Player 9's point total is -4; 2 incorrect answers
[Didn't call for 3 weeks/Player 3]: dammmm
[Called mom after every loss/Player 11]: Hey, you need to at least take shots if you're trying to score a goal.
[Daily voicemails/Player 10]: That's not a bad guess
[My dear/Player 4]: Props for trying to get this game over with
[Pumpkin/Player 5]: Rin hates his brother, right? Why would he talk to him?
[Avoids mom, but not sibling/Player 6]: Unless Rin hates his mom more than he hates his brother…
[My dear/Player 4]: O yeah, I could see that. The Itoshi mom would be a brow-beater
[Calls home every day/Player 8]: How are there so many people here who don't talk to their mothers!
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: Wanima
[Getting into trouble/Player 7]: he barely talks, and he would be the last person to give their name during a role call
[Better have a good excuse/Player 15] name has been changed to Wanima
Player 7 now has 2 points; 0 incorrect answers
[Pumpkin/Player 5]:Yikes! 7 is on a hot streak
[Munchkin/Player 1]: So does #15 have a good excuse?
Wanima: I called her back
