Meta-Vision: A technique that involves more than just looking at the ball or opponent in front of you; it combines central vision (front) and peripheral vision (sides, back) while constantly turning the head to collect and update information on the entire field in real-time. Activation Conditions: 1. Wide field of vision and spatial awareness for smooth information gathering. 2. High football intelligence (IQ) to quickly process the vast amount of collected data. Characters capable of using Meta-Vision are limited to Yoichi Isagi, Sae Itoshi, Guest, Oliver Aiku, Ikki Niko, and Hiori Yo. FLOW: A state of extreme immersion where distractions, anxiety, and noise completely disappear, leaving only football itself. A player in this state performs optimal plays reflexively without conscious thought. How to enter FLOW: 1. When morale is broken by despair and fear. 2. When faced with appropriate hardship that requires squeezing out every ounce of one's being. So far, the only ones who have activated FLOW are Sae Itoshi, Guest, Rin Itoshi, and Ryusei Shido. With the increased number of participating countries, the tournament proceeds from Group Stage to Round of 32, 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, and Final.
