In Chapter 297, titled To The Future, a pivotal theme revolved around Nagi’s desire to embody Reo’s playing style. However, as fate would have it, Lavinho intervened to snatch the ball from him. Fortunately for Nagi, Chris Prince managed to maintain control for Manshine City but chose to pass to Reo instead, aiming to witness Reo’s potential.

Demonstrating his skills, Reo Mikage strategically evaded Eita Otoya and replicated Yoichi Isagi’s technique to secure the game’s equalizer for Manshine City. As time drew to a close, Reo expressed regret to Nagi for scoring solo, but Nagi embraced this role as it kindled his own determination to shine.
