EPISODE 13 – "Flow Vision"
Scene 1 – Return to the Field – Start of the Second Half
Narrator (deep voice, slow pace):
– The first half ended with sparks. But the second... will be pure fire.
Cut to Miguel Nakamura. He takes a deep breath. His eyes shine with determination.
Miguel (in Japanese, whispering):
– Time to activate the "Kōzō no Mai"... the dance of structure.
Miguel receives the ball and starts dribbling. Rapid camera cuts. He fakes one, spins past another, looks like he's about to leave André Oliveira behind...
But...
Narrator:
– André doesn't need to see. He feels.
Slow-motion scene. André closes his eyes. The world goes dark. The field changes color in his mind. Everything turns into lines, vectors, flowing movements.
Narrator:
– Flow Vision. Three seconds into the future. Where each player will be. As if time itself whispered secrets into his ear.
André opens his eyes at the exact moment and intercepts the pass... before it even happens.
Camila (stunned):
– He turned the field into an algorithm...
---
Scene 2 – Technique: "Humiliating Dribble"
André recovers and advances with the ball. Miguel tries to take it back. But then... something rare happens.
André pulls the ball with the sole of his foot, spins it with an inverted ankle move, then taps it with his heel... and the ball nutmegs Miguel. Twice.
Absolute silence.
Narrator:
– It wasn't just a dribble. It was a manifesto.
Blake (whispering):
– That was... humiliation.
Miguel (on his knees, sweating, stunned):
– I... lost everything?
---
Scene 3 – Technique: "Devouring the Prince"
Blake sees everything. Closes his eyes. A mental lightning strike.
Narrator:
– A lion awakened. And hungry.
Blake (cold, hunter's eyes):
– Prince Mode: Total Devouring.
He takes control of the game. One-two pass with Vitão, steals the ball from André with an unexpected inversion, backheel flick around Agustin, charges into open space.
360° camera shot, sound of slowed breathing. He shoots with the outside of his foot... but goalkeeper João Paulo deflects with his fingertips.
---
Scene 4 – Marcão's Legendary Save
Palmeiras counters. Raul do Morro crosses into the box. Brenin heads it toward the opposite corner. The ball cuts through the air...
Marcão (shouting):
– NOT IN MY HOUSE!!!
He flies like a missile. Opposite hand save. Grabs it with his fingertips and saves Flamengo.
Narrator:
– A goalkeeper... or a monument?
---
Scene 5 – Miguel's Collapse
Miguel tries one more play. André devours him again. Another tackle. Another cut.
Bruno Salgado (quietly, to the assistant):
– He's not reading the game anymore... he's reading himself.
Bruno (yelling):
– Miguel! Off! Get to the bench!
Miguel (shocked):
– ...What?
He walks off, eyes watering. Heads to the locker room. Silence. Suddenly...
Miguel punches the steel locker. Hard.
Miguel (in Japanese):
– Bokuwa shinu tame ni koko ni kita no ka...? (Did I come here to die...?)
---
Scene 6 – Talk with Camila
Camila (kneeling next to him):
– It's not the end. You were just... devoured. But even geniuses fall. What matters is what you'll do after this.
Miguel doesn't answer.
---
Scene 7 – Bruno Salgado Enters
Bruno (looking him in the eyes):
– You really wanna be the best? Then learn from the pain. Everyone here has fallen. I did too. But the difference between the defeated... and the champion... is the next step.
Bruno (pointing at the field):
– The battle isn't over. You're still one of us. But today... you'll learn by watching.
---
Scene 8 – The Comeback Goal
Blake leads the charge. Agustin creates space. Paulinho appears out of nowhere. Backheel pass from Blake. Paulinho controls, spins, shoots into the corner.
Narrator:
– 2-1 Flamengo. The devouring was complete.
---
Final Scene – Full-Time Whistle
Exhausted players. André, gasping for air, looks at Miguel on the bench. Miguel stares back.
Narrator:
– On the field, there are those who create. And those who destroy. But only the ones who are reborn... reach the top.
