Why did rin choose isagi

Why did rin choose isagi? It’s something i’ve wondered about for a while . So, why did rin choose puzzle boy instead of the king, the lazy genius, or the red panther? Doesn’t make sense if you ask me. In his first decision he chose bachira instead of nagi or isagi which makes sense since bachira was the play maker and isagi was useless without him while nagi was already handicapped having left reo.

But in their second encounter he chose isagi instead of Barou, nagi, or Chigiri. Chigiri relies mostly on his speed because it’s one of the things that he excels at while Barou is a selfish “king” who only works to achieve goals of his own. He isn’t interested in team work and most definitely isn’t a team player. That cancels out Chigiri and Barou, but why not nagi?

We all know nagi can’t survive on his own because he’s incredibly and painstakingly lazy. He forgets to eat breakfast (it’s canon that isagi used to wake him up to eat) and he refers to anything that involves having to work to as a hassle. That is enough reason for rin to not choose him but rin picks players after seeing which one of them is the best and not judging by how that person acts. So if nagi is better than isagi in play style. Why didn’t he choose him?

Simple. Nagi left reo to be on isagis Team because he wagged to play with isagi. Isagi was basically his drive for playing football at the time because he was the first one to give him the taste of defeat. If isagi wasn’t on the team then the quality of nagi’s play might decrease - putting rins team at a disadvantage. So instead, he gave isagis team a handicap by taking away the player that’s holding everything together. Taking away the player that this team was associated around. Taking away isagi.

There, ladies and gentlemen, is why rin chose isagi.
