Chapter 4

Host: Welcome back to Blue Lock TV! For those just joining us for our game show today, we have with us here 7 remaining players from our original group of 15 players. These players are tasked with the goal of identifying the real names of the other players while keeping their own identity a secret. To help our players identify each other, we have been providing them with clues based on recorded phone conversations during Blue Lock's first phase of training.

Let's bring up our scoreboard!


[My dear/Longest recorded call/Player 4]: 3 (with 0 incorrect)

[Called mom after every loss/Called dad after every win/Player 11]: 1 (with 0 incorrect)

[Worried mother/Vitamin boy/Player 2]: 0 (with 0 incorrect)

[Gimme a call back/What do you want/Player 12]: 0 (with 0 incorrect)

[Getting into trouble/Break any of the rules/Player 7]: 0 (with 1 incorrect)

[Avoids mom, but not sibling/2 calls in one day/Player 6]: -2 (with 1 incorrect)

[Daily voicemails/From 2 different numbers/Player 10]: -2 (with 1 incorrect)


Host: After our last round, the players decided to form alliances to increase their odds of winning. We have now digitally sequestered the players in their self-determined alliances where they will have the next 10 minutes to strategize before the next round in our game. After their time is up, we will bring them back into the same chat room so that they continue their game of eliminating other players.

Host: To give them all one last clue to help inspire their conversations, we will reveal the remaining clues from Round 3.

Host: Regarding the number of unique phone numbers that each player dialed out to, there are four of our remaining players who called out to two different numbers. These players are:

[Worried mother/Vitamin boy/Player 2]

[My dear/Longest recorded call/Player 4]

[Daily voicemails/From 2 different numbers/Player 10]

[Gimme a call back/What do you want/Player 12]


Host: And the remaining players all made calls to 3 or more numbers:

[Avoids mom, but not sibling/2 calls in one day/Player 6]

[Getting into trouble/Break any of the rules/Player 7]

[Called mom after every loss/Called dad after every win/Player 11]


Host: Good luck players!


Break out Room 1 (The Friendly Alliance)


Player 2: Any suspicions?

Player 10: A lot of grumpy players out there…

Player 2: Who do we think would be grumpy to play this game?

Player 10: Of the ones who are left…Rin, Kunigami…

Player 2: It's too bad Bachira didn't make it, he made this game more fun

Player 10: Yeah, although he was kind of obvious. Not many players are as jovial as him

Player 2: Who do you think we should try to get out?

Player 10: ….there was someone I thought I would have figured out by now…

Player 2: Who?

Player 10: I must say, it's kinda messing with my head to not know who you are…

Player 10: But I don't want you to give yourself up since I don't really want to give myself up…

Player 2: You don't have to be sorry, my thoughts are the same


Break out Room 2 (The Smart Alliance)


Player 7: How should we strategize?

Player 6: Does it matter?

Player 7: We ought to be talking about something here

Player 7: 12, being that you're the only one here who hasn't made a guess, I think you ought to make the next move

Player 12: Why should I do what you tell me to do?

Player 7: Don't you want to get this game over with?

Player 12: I don't need to take someone else's orders

Player 7: …ok….6, any ideas?

Player 6: You're the one who wanted a team of brains, are you saying you don't have one?

Player 7: I have my own strategy

Player 6: Which you're not going to share here, right?

Player 7: Why should I?

Player 6: Why are we even having a conversation?


Break out Room 3 (The Winning Alliance)


Player 11: Any ideas?

Player 4: All the people I was suspecting are already out

Player 11: Yeah, that was my thought as well

Player 4: Do you believe any of the Yakuza stuff?

Player 11: Lol

Player 11: It's just something to amuse people

Player 4: You seem to like amusement

Player 11: Unfortunately, I think we've eliminated all the fun players here. I think I might be the only one left to offer some levity here

Player 4:...glad you're in a good mood…today at least

Player 11: Are you trying to get at something?

Player 4: I'm just saying that you seem like a funny guy

Player 4: Although, maybe I'm going to take that back now

Player 11: If you're chatting me up here to get me to reveal my identity, I'm not that easy

Player 4: You're the one who said you wanted to be in an alliance with me

Player 11: Of course, you have plenty of points to give up so that we can win this

Player 4: And you have a strategy for winning?

Player 11:…do you?


Break out Room 1 (The Friendly Alliance)


Player 10: So, are we going to try to strategize on something?

Player 2: Well, you've already confirmed that you're not Rin or Kunigami….unless you're really trying to play a good game here

Player 10: Nah, I don't think I'm good enough to try to pull off something like that

Player 2: Well, I will confirm to you that I'm not Rin or Kunigami, so maybe we can work to get those two out

Player 10: That sounds like a plan to me

Player 10: What are your thoughts?

Player 2: Well, you've identified Rin and Kunigami as grumpy… which Players here are grumpy?

Player 10: Pretty much everyone but you…

Player 10: Though to put some players up that I think could be Rin or Kunigami, I'm thinking 7, 6, 12, and maybe 4

Player 2: #7 Seems pretty competitive and focused on winning…

Player 10: Yeah, he's also kind of mysterious…

Player 2: Are you getting Rin vibes from him?

Player 10: I think 7 would be more likely to be Rin than Kunigami. Kunigami is pretty quiet. I was thinking that 12 is pretty quiet

Player 2: Yeah, 12 is a total mystery

Player 10: So, how about I guess Kunigami for 12 and you guess Rin for 7?

Player 2: That works for me


Break out Room 2 (The Smart Alliance)


Player 7: Hey, 12, I know you want this game over with, so help us out and make a guess to try to get someone out. Who do you want out of this game?

Player 12: ….everyone

Player 6: Some of the comments #11 made gave me a Reo feeling….he's kinda cheeky and playful but also kinda grumpy or bored at times

Player 7: You think?

Player 7: Yeah…I see it…

Player 7: He'd call his dad after winning a game…

Player 7: You should make that your next guess

Player 6: What's your guess going to be?

Player 7: I have a feeling about 4….being that he got Isagi and Raichi out, and also knew Bachira, I feel like he must be a former team Z player…and I think the only 2 left from that team are Chigiri and Kunigami…

Player 7: Being that Kunigami is literally a wildcard who is hard to read…

Player 7: What would you think about me calling #4 Chigiri?

Player 6: … I've had similar thoughts ever since he knew about Aryu's hair products

Player 7: Why haven't you called out #4 sooner?

Player 6: …I think our time is almost up here

Player 7: We still got 3 minutes here…

Player 6: Hey, 12, what's your plan?

Player 12: To not die from boredom

Player 7: So spice things up! Make a guess!

Player 12: Too much of a hassle

Player 7: Did someone replace you with Nagi?

Player 12: No, I'm not a lazy sloth

Player 7: So what else are you going to do here?

Player 12: Wait until the game is over

Player 7: What, run out the clock?

Player 7: We still have 2 minutes, what are our second guesses going to be?

Player 7: 6, any other guesses?

Player 6: I barely even know who the other players are

Player 7: ….you guys are so boring…


Break out Room 3 (The Winning Alliance)


Player 4: Anyone you're suspicious of?

Player 11: 2 and 10 both seem pretty nice and polite, I'm getting Hiori vibes

Player 4: I can see that…

Player 11: Anyone that you're getting vibes on?

Player 4: Reo…. I'm pretty sure he's an only child, so can't be #6….

Player 4: …He's strategic too… so I don't think he'd build an alliance with someone just to be friendly, so probably not #2

Player 4: He's also something of a loud mouth, so I doubt he'd be able to stay quiet like #12

Player 11: Wow, you seem to know Reo pretty well. Anyone else you think might be him?

Player 4: … was there a reason you decided to pair up with me?

Player 11: You have all the points and lots of guesses left!

Player 4:…yeah, Reo wouldn't give himself up so easily…

Player 11: Are you suggesting something about me?

Player 4: Are you the type of person who is happy enough with 2nd place so long as you know that you're the one who made the first place winner first?

Player 11: Are you suggesting I'm Reo?

Player 4: Do you deny it?

Player 11: I'm not Reo

Player 4: Yeah, because Reo knows how to play a good game, so he wouldn't give himself away…

Player 11: Honestly, I'm not Reo!

Player 4: If you're lying to me, I'm going to shave your purple head!

Player 4: Your stupid eyebrows too!

Player 11: ….gohead and try…Princess

Player 4: Shut up

Player 11: Whatcha gonna do? Call me out before I call you out, Red Panther!

Player 4: What kind of alliance is this!?

Player 11: You're the backstabber!

Player 4: I never agreed to bring Raichi into the alliance!

Player 4: So what, are you going to backstab me?

Host: Alright players! Time's up!
