COULD YOU GET DOWN TO WORK?

Isagi has finally scored his own goal in the Neo-Egoist League, courtesy of his newly unveiled "side weapon," the lefty direct shot. Yet this is no time to get complacent. Italy's master, Snuffy, immediately brings his tactical genius to bear in Ubers' counterattack, but Barou chafes against his philosophy of soccer as "work." Meanwhile, Niko, Kaiser, and Aiku all turn their own specialized weapons on Isagi as they seek to knock him down a peg. Ready, set...duel!
